Please Keep The Surf Coast Glass Free This year the Surf Coast aims for a complete glass free School Leavers! The reason for this is that too many people, School Leavers and the local community alike, suffer injuries from broken glass. Plus it causes damage to the environment! So please, If you are going to drink, try to buy cans or plastic and help reduce injuries and damage   to the Surf Coast!
