Bruce and I helped with the Heathcote River clean up today – doing the Forest & Bird section by Ferrymead. It was quite an education seeing what ends up in our river. The river was cleaned up in three other sections as well and next year they are going to attempt to clean up a 25km stretch of the river. It was quite a muddy experience, as those that turned up in gumboots ended up in the mud flats – one of my neighbours on seeing me return home asked me if I’d in fact fallen into the river!

    Did you save the antique bottle? Sweet find as that might be worth something! If it was me, it would have been cleaned up and in my antique bottle collection already 🙂
