Experience the beautiful Bass Coast before its marine ecology and foreshore reserve is wrecked forever by the world's biggest desalination factory.

The week will include community education on issues with the desalination plant, alternatives and why the Government's water policy is flawed. Swim at nearby beaches, make banners and join discussion groups on the campaign - how can we wake Melbourne up to the damaging future privatisation of our water ?

Get Real on Climate Change - Celebrity Surf Challenge is taking place at Kilcunda Beach from 10-1 on Saturday 3rd January. See www.basscoastboardriders.com for more info.

Campsite on the Bass Highway,  5 kilometres bike ride/walk to the desal site and surf beaches at the mouth of the Powlett River, between Kilcunda and Dalyston.

Camp will have 2 caravans, toilet and water. Bring musical instruments, tents, food, cooking equipment. Be prepared for all weathers, as the site is fairly exposed. No fires, no pets.
