Another one of our Queensland TAG legends Wesley joined Wesley and his mum Vicki, who volunteers her time with ACF Community Bayside.
Vicki and ACF Community Bayside's major focus is Saving Toondah Harbour Wetlands in Cleveland, Qld. These coastal mangroves are shoreline-nesting sites used by the critically endangered Eastern Curlew. The wetlands and surrounds are also the home to other critically threatened animals including koala, dugongs, dolphins, whales, and sea turtles.
Currently the Toondah Harbour Wetlands are under threat from a proposed real estate project, marina and apartment complex, the largest in the Redlands’ history.
"For people asking why we fight so hard to save the wetlands and the Curlew," Vicki explains, "it's so my grandchildren can actually see a migratory shorebird in their lifetime."
To help ACF Community Bayside spread the word we've donated $2500 for a new branded marquee, to be used at events and raise awareness for the protection of the wetlands.
