October Storms

Back from our ride just in time for the torrential downpour which has flooded half of Brisbane! Combined with the strong winds that wreaked havoc on the beach was an abundance of litter, platic containers that originally housed pont plants were the main offenders. Ironic that we plant trees to help the environment then leave the plastic to flow into the rivers and onto the beach! I am reminded of some of the beautiful beaches in Northern QLD all covered with similar litter washed in by the ever present SE trade winds and stong tides in the area. We all know of the plastic vortex in the middle of the Pacific yet I fear that is just the tip of the plastic iceburg much closer to home!
