PADDLE FOR A PICNIC - stage 2
October 28th 2006 5am - 12pm
Currambene Creek

On Saturday 28th October 2006 the local community awareness was raised towards the proposed Comberton Grange development on Currambene Creek - a sanctuary zone under the Jervis Bay Marine Parks.

Local residents turned up for the annual PADDLE FOR A PICNIC. A day to paddle up Currambene Creek to Comberton Grange for picnic lunch and environmental talk. Locals were invited to express their artistic impression on the beauty of Currambene Creek, a place that we are all passionate about and need to protect. Using this artistic medium to inform the public of the history of Currambene Creek & Comberton Grange as an important waterway to Jervis Bay, contributing to an up-coming summer exhibition at the Lady Denman Heritage Complex at Huskisson.

Was a great day, So we are doing another on November Saturday 18th
