We collected lots of rubbish in the Big 4 caravan park on our way to Big Tree. It was on the river banks and in the river, Helen climbed down a steep bank to collect plastic and food packets. No rubbish at Big Tree itself. Rubbish collected included: cans, bottles, cardboard, plastics, fishing line, lollypop sticks.
