Cleanup the Highway
Cleanup the Highway was inspired by the Keep Australia Beautiful campaign. Rotarians Graeme Campbell and David Talbot, though it would be a good idea for the club to adopt a section of the highway with the aim of keeping it clear of litter and presenting a better look for the town.
After much negotiating with the Corowa Shire and RTA we were finally given permission to look after a stretch of the Riverina Highway between the saleyards and tip. Every three months, Club members gather to remove rubbish and take it to the tip.

We had a perfect morning for our Clean Up of the Highway Project on Sunday. Great effort from all who attended. It is interesting to note that money attracts money….. David Talbot found $50 & Graeme Campbell found $20, but the actual rarest find was found by Paul and it was a worn out battered device used to treat the old fashioned “hysteria”. Big thanks to Gary & Christine for their hospitality at Gunna-B-Dun.

Rotarians clean up the highway
The Rotary Club of Corowa spent last Sunday picking the rubbish from a section of the Riverina Highway as part of their Clean-Up the Highway project.
Rotarians were greeted with perfect weather conditions and a great day had by all who participated.
The Corowa Clean-up the Highway project was inspired by the Keep Australia Beautiful campaign. Rotarians Graeme Campbell and David Talbot thought it would be a good idea for the Club to adopt a section of the highway with the aim of keeping it clear of litter and presenting a better look for the town.
It has proven to be a great success and has had the added bonus of lifting the town’s profile.
Below are some photos from a number of previous clean-up events.
