Sigrid Thornton and hubby Tom Burstall (pictured) have recently moved into the Elwood ‘hood and joined the local crew keen to clean up the Elwood Canal.
As reported in TWiSK, ECAT (that’s the Elwood Canal Action Team) have been agitated by the steady flow of rubbish spewing into the Bay via the Canal. They want Council, State and Melbourne Water to get agitated too.
