I like this idea! Im planning on being back in Melbs for Dec, willing to rally up a crew to put this plan into action! Shouldnt be too hard to get a big unruly mob of kitesurfers in on the action

I think you'll find that Parks Victoria, not the councils, are responsible for rubbish on beaches. In the summer they send the beach rakes down pretty much every day but in the winter it just doesn't happen.

If you really want to have a rant at someone how about the people who leave the rubbish there in the first place. Leaving an old disposable nappy on the beach because you are too lazy to take it with you and put it in the bin is not only disrespectful, it's disgusting.

Also, while you are at it, why not have a go at Melbourne water for allowing stormwater to discharge straight into the bay with no trash screens to collect the rubbish. Urban stormwater is as dirty as raw sewerage.

Parks Victoria administer the waterways up to the tide line. The beaches belong to the councils.

I've never heard an Aussie use the word "Diapers" let alone "DYPERS". It's another horrible seppo word that doesn't belong here. Like windsurfers in the kite section having a caps lock rant.

A bit harsh! I don't want to go to the beach and navigate around rubbish either. Good on him for picking up rubbish and having a go at the authorities.

Yup I can be a bit harsh after a long day and a solid glass of red at the end of it.

What made me annoyed (apart from the caps lock, terrible grammar, etc) was the whinger "oh I slipped over who can I sue" mentality behind it.

What OP is referring to (I guess) is rubbish that floats in on the tide (flotsam). It comes with every high tide. Good on him for picking it up (I do as well) but does he expect our taxes to pay to have someone down there morning and night cleaning his little stretch of our 26,000kms of coastline?

Maybe there's some undesirable locals around? Cos nappies don't float (as far as I know) and the only group I've personally seen leave dirty nappies all over the beach also left goon bags.
