	December	"6 Knots - No Wash" Publicity Campaign: Wave wash caused by speeding boats contributes to the erosion of the banks along Currimundi Lake and is even more severe along Currimundi Creek. The wash hits the sandy coffee-rock banks and undercuts them. The roots of huge beautiful trees become exposed and eventually they topple into the water. For the third year, CCCG organises a publicity campaign to inform motor boat users that the speed limit is 6 knots - no wash. No Wash means No Wash! A council leaflet Boating in Currimundi Lake will be delivered to all homes along the waterways. Again, we are hoping for many local residents to support of this campaign and to remind visitors of the need to slow down on the waterways. Committee Christmas Party
