SUSTAINABundy and GetUp! National Climate Torch Relay
Bargara, Tuesday September 2
Enjoy a morning walk from Bargara to show your support for climate
change solutions in our region.
When: 6.30am ~ Tuesday, September 2nd
Where: The Big Turtle, cnr. Bauer St. and Bargara Esplanade
Join all or part of the walk to appreciate our gorgeous coast and
special turtle rookery area.
Let's ensure they remain for future generations!
Created by the designers of the Sydney Olympic Torch, The GetUp
Climate Torch is an iconic symbol of our national determination to
avert dangerous climate change. The torch itself features solar-power,
a wind-turbine, people power, and a lemon battery!
For six weeks during August and September, the GetUp Climate Torch
Relay will tour right across Australia – through rural towns and
capital cities in every state and territory – on its way to Parliament
House, Canberra on September 21. Along the route, local communities
are hosting legs of the relay, which calls on our leaders to halve
Australia's greenhouse pollution by 2020.
The Relay will reach Bundaberg on September 2nd where SustainaBundy
has organised a leg of the relay. The event will feature members of
the community, young and old, running the torch along Bargara's
Esplanade via Mon Repos to Burnett Heads, as a celebration of
Bundaberg's many beautiful beaches and precious turtle rookery. The
Torch will continue its tour of Bundaberg riding Duffy's City Buses to
visit local solutions hubs.
