But, we can make a difference to that, so it\u2019s my time to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Watchorn has lived in Magpie, on and off, since 1969. Although he\u2019s had five or 10-year periods making a home elsewhere, he is always drawn back to live by his \u201cspecial place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He feels \u201cspiritually and socially connected,\u201d to the Yarrowee and retreats there to reflect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s adjacent to my family home where I grew up, which is being renovated back to what it was, and I think that\u2019s our approach as a family; to improve things, so they can reach their potential,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just love the geography of the area, and its tens of thousands of years of human history. There\u2019s the gold mining history with Ballarat\u2019s early European settlers, but there\u2019s also Wadawurrung campsites noted along the creek.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure 200 years ago, the Yarrowee Creek was absolutely gorgeous, and there\u2019s no reason it shouldn\u2019t be again. This is one of Ballarat\u2019s rough diamonds, so it\u2019s time for us to give back, show our love and care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Currently the waterway, especially a section just north of Docwra Street affectionately known as the \u201crapids,\u201d is packed with non-biodegradable plastic pollutants.<\/p>\n<p>These are interrupting waterflow and the creatures calling the creek home, along with long-term layover damage from the 1850s gold rush.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re aware of the damage litter causes, especially to marine ecology, but people tend to believe it\u2019s only a coastal issue. It\u2019s not,\u201d Mr Watchorn said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an inland issue as much as anything, causing damage on the way through, before it finds its way to the ocean. Some of it remains in creeks forever, and you only have to put a shovel into the soil to see that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know micro-plastics are being found in the food chain. Plastics that take thousands of years to break down are ingested by animals; both land-mammals, like the rakali, and marine life like the native fish and turtles that use this area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Mr Watchorn said his Clean-Up campaign is not only about the cleaning up. He\u2019s coordinating the Magpie sweep to raise awareness of each person\u2019s responsibility to reduce their waste, and properly and respectfully dispose of their rubbish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you flick your cigarette butt, it goes somewhere. It doesn\u2019t matter what our background is, we all have a responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Participants are to meet at the Docwra Street bridge carpark and register their details for COVID contact tracing, before moving north along the Yarrowee Trail.<\/p>\n<p>Some rubbish bags and gloves will be provided, but if you have your own gloves, and sturdy rubbish or feed bags, Mr Watchorn encourages you to bring them along.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be fillings bags for two hours, but if someone comes with their young family, lasts as long as their child\u2019s attention span, and fills only one, that\u2019s fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only have they removed a bag of rubbish, they\u2019ve set a really good example for their children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Head to <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2OYbpU8\"><strong>bit.ly\/2OYbpU8<\/strong><\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Ten other official supervised Clean-Up Australia Day events are registered in Ballarat.<\/p>\n<p>Sweeps are taking place at Ballarat East\u2019s Barkly Square, the Black Hill Lookout, Wendouree\u2019s Giot Drive, Geelong Road, the Yarrowee River at Golden Point, Redan and Sebastopol, Woowookarung Regional Park, Canadian\u2019s Boyd Court, and Sparrow Ground Reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/cleanupaustraliaday.org.au\"><strong>cleanupaustraliaday.org.au<\/strong><\/a> for further details on the events and their proximity to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT do you know about the habitat of elusive native water rat, the rakali, or noisy eastern banjo frogs, pobblebonks?
