CAPTAIN TRASH

Captain Trash isn’t a real pirate … he’s an unreal pirate! Captain Trash is the alter ego of Port Phillip Baykeeper, Neil Blake. He educates kids of all ages on the 5 ARRRGHS: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse and Remove. His message is to leave only footprints on the sand … not litter. Captain Trash will be sailing into Fairnie Park on Monday 12th March from 10am – 11:30am.
