CHERBOURG
Upon seeing the town I felt so excited, it looked so beautiful in the most unique way. Playing a game of soccer in the early evening, as the sun began to set and the air began to cool, surrounded by all these beautiful children, will stay in my memory forever.

The projects...![]() Our Big Lifters helped out with Day 1 of the Cherbourg Community Clean Up project. In the morning, we split into groups and assisted with gardening, tree planting and rubbish removal activities. It was amazing how much of a difference 40 people can make in such a short amount of time! Many council and community members of Cherbourg helped out for the day, and you could truly feel the community spirit shining through.
Over 200 native Bunya trees were planted that day! A small step into rebuilding the natural landscape after some devastating and destructive weather the past year. Our teams picked up many ute's full of rubbish from the local parks and found many interesting items along the way! The morning's efforts were celebrated over a hearty BBQ, shared between our Big Lifters and the Cherbourg community.
