01.01.2022 Beach Clean Up - 2021 City of Perth Festival of Sail with Swan River Sailing, River Guardians and Keep Australia Beautiful WA 8am - 9:30am | Between Barrack Square and Narrows Bridge Come and help keep the Swan River clean on the Wednesday morning of the 2021 City of Perth Festival of Sail. Meet at Barrack Square Garden at 8am & Finish by the Narrows Bridge around 9:30am.... The last three years’ beach clean ups have seen the collection of over 60 bags full of rubbish from the Perth Foreshore. Volunteers, competitors, staff, sponsors and stakeholders all join forces to create a positive impact on the environmental assets being utilised during the week of the City of Perth Festival of Sail. There is usually more rubbish there than we are able to collect in the 1.5 hour clean up period! Please come down, lend a hand & help keep our rivers clean!
