Clean-Up Day: a way to thank Australia

Three decades since an ordinary Australian came up with a simple idea to clean up his backyard -- Sydney Harbour, many people have continually participated in one of the biggest community events -- Clean Up Australia Day.

In its nine year being part of the movement, Clean Up Australia and Blacktown Council have committed Rizal Park in Rooty Hill for the Filipino Community through  Filipino Australian Movement for Empowerment (FAME) Inc and Knights of Rizal, and supported by  Philippine Community Council of NSW (PCC-NSW), APO, Pangasinan Association, Pozorrubians Downunder, Engineers Association and Fil-Oz Community of Sydney.

"It's one way for us migrants to say 'thank you' to Australia",  says Rod Dingle, PRO of FAME.
