Woolgoolga, beach Surf club

DSCF5612

Today I have a mission. Woolgoolga’s council is on its way to make changes in the town. They want to get rid of the main campsite and the surf club to build new units which will welcome richer people. It’s always a question of money… The thing is that surf club particularly is part of the heritage of the town and they simply want to destroy it. A friend of John, who is an heritage person started to fight against the council. Her community created a web site and a petition to stop the demolition. This morning I’m here to take some pictures of the building and hope it will serve the community. If you want more informations : www.savewoopibeach.org.
