After a slight delay due to Cyclone Kirralee postponing the awards night, the Australia Day awards ceremony went ahead last Wednesday evening at the MECC. M&DTW won the environmental achievement award and a small group of us were able to attend. Thank you for the nomination and a huge thank you to all our volunteers for the countless hours you spend on the beaches for nearly half the year over nesting and hatching season as well as attending stranding reports all year round.
And a massive shout out to the group members who do so much behind the scenes with paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork! The work that’s put in without even getting sand on your feet is extraordinary.
We appreciate the recognition and look forward to many more seasons of watching the sunrise (or the moon for the night patrols)
