Moreton Island Protection Committee Inc There are regularly staged Cleanup / Weeding events on Moreton Island which provides you an opportunity to give something back. These events are staged by the Moreton Island Protection Committee Inc, and whilst they can't provide reduced cost fares for the transport of vehicles to the Island, if you are willing to leave your vehicle at the MICat departure terminal, they do provide for a very low cost and enjoyable weekend on the island. For more info visit the MIPC website or download their latest Newsletter
The MIPC would also be very willing to 'block out' one of these weekends if your Club was to make one of these activities their destination for a trip.
