Demi Fraser is a proud mum.
When she asked her sons, Reign, 8, and Arlo, 5, if they wanted to do a clean up on the beach at Evans Head after the storm, they didn’t hesitate.
“They picked up so much rubbish, including a big hose I pulled from the water and bagged and binned it all,” Demi said.
“Unfortunately, there were some things that were too heavy for us to remove but they did what they could.”
Demi said they are an RAAF family who moved to Evans Head in 2024.
“We fell in love with Evans and the marine life,” Demi said.
“I am a family photographer and in my spare time I love photographing the sea turtles, dolphins and the eagle rays, so we are down at the break wall and beach almost every afternoon.
“So often we pick up rubbish on our walks – we figured that the storm would have washed up a lot and we’ve seen the harm rubbish can cause to our turtles, particularly as we actually pulled a turtle out of the river deceased wrapped in line in January,” Demi said.
“It’s really important to me that I raise boys who are compassionate for animals and looking after our community.”
Reign and Arlo did just that – they had fun and expected nothing in return except the enjoyment of a clean beach.
Thanks boys.
