Around 35 to 40 old tyres are buried in the sand or seabed on a very special section of Isthmus Bay. They seem to be left over from some aquaculture operation.
We’re going to get rid of them.
Meet on Bruny Island Main Road, just south of Porpoise Head, which is just south of Fancy Bay. It’s about 1.5 km south of the airstrip. We’ll set up at a bend in the road – look for the Landcare sign. We’ll be on a nature strip on the eastern side of the road, where you can park.
We will have the help of Paul Davies (many thanks Paul), who owns the property to the south and will help us cart the tyres away.
Wear gumboots if you have them, and bring robust gloves. (Old radial tyres can have wire sticking out of them.) We will also need a few picks and shovels, and the odd bag for plastics and weeds.
After a hard but rewarding tyre removal expedition, you can mosey on down to the Easter Carnival at Alonnah. Or you can just go home, exhausted, and feel satisfied with your contribution.
Remember, people in the city pay serious money to move tyres around at fancy gyms.
