Clean Up DP-RK (1-Mar-2026)

On Clean Up Australia Day we had 26 volunteers and collected 19 bags of rubbish and some large items. Thank you to all the volunteers.

Many people have already heard that the Depot, where major equipment is stored, has been broken into on three occasions in December and January. A significant amount of essential Rangers’ equipment has been stolen including both off-road (non-registered) vehicles, ride-on mower, chain-saw, leaf-blower and others.

The culprits are ‘professional’ with knowledge, skills and tools to expedite their crimes. They have hidden their identities with masks and by breaking cameras, but are probably known. The police are working on the case but need evidence to make convictions.
