brighton has no oil ATM, but bring some degreaser just in case. Dont worry the EPA is looking after everything

The pictures I have seen of the beautiful beaches covered in crap and the pelicans black with oil made me feel sick.

Hope things get cleaned up quickly,but that will only make it visually clean,marine damage to the ocean and rivers is already done.

So fkn sad

All we can do is do what we can. Go to the beach with a bucket and clean, organise mates and volunteers, and F-N vote GREEN! Expect to have to clean your feet, lines, board and kite for a good long time. Baby oil works alright.... Bloody hell.............

Oh well that's put Qld off my holiday list this year. I was kind of getting sick of all the rain and dead coral up north there anyway - time for a change and explore the pristine waters in Tas and WA.

I'm sure some team of experts will sort it all out in time - they always do!

no they don't.look at the evidence .The response was pathetic to say the least .the govt believed that the spill was 'minor' when informed by the owners of the ship (just like the govts of the world believed the filthy lieing bankers and their ratings agency cohorts who said that this global financial mess was a small blip and world governments and shareholders have allowed these ****ers to reward themselves with massive bonuses over the years as they took higher and higher the risks,but hey who asks questions when everyones swimming in money,plasma screens and mc mansions!) The area around the spanish spill is still a mess .Anyone that believes that the 'experts will sort it out " is a fool .Buckets and spades WTF!!

i say get the buckets and put it on the 'experts ' heads and then hit the buckets with the spades to knock some sense into them

Anyone been down the beach today ?
Roo how is it at sunrise ?

is Maroochydore and Caloundra rivermouth kiteable
will my gear get covered in black slime if i kite there
regards.

oie OLIVIER, stand up paddle is a recreation not a sport.....we dont care where you go for holidays and your self centred comments about QLD.....hope you dont get lost paddling around Tassy....team,experts.....alway's sort it out.......

I'd be really upset if it happened in my backyard. My cynical and self centred comments on the tragedy were more about the hopelessness of the situation.

I mean what is the solution to it now that it's happened? All the lamenting and blaming isn't going to make it go away or stop it from happening again. It's a very sad thing. Sounds like buckets spades and time is the only solution.

Apparently you can't kite anywhere on the sunshine coast for the next year atleast, sorry to all tourists that had planned holidays here.
And the oil has attracted schools of sharks and box jelly fish to the area.
Even our deadly sea snakes have become more aggressive.
sorry about that guys.

All the foreshore at Coolum is real mess. There is oil all the way up to the highest high tide mark. The rocks are usually a deep red. Now they are black as...... Still lost of oil in the water so it ain't over yet. Yeah, voting green is symbolic only I admit.

Yeah right just like George dubya and his mates looked after everything and ****ed the whole world in the process

i doubt the LNP would make a difference. the maritime needs to come in fix this from happening again. surely the captain of the ship knew what he was sailing in to. the adventurer isn't really that bad of a ship compared to other rust bucket cargo ships going around aus. it was the captain and his monkey crew who are at fault. my guess is that the containers were not secured properly by the crew. these ships are made to withstand big seas. i doubt the captain will sail again after this. hope your beaches clear up soon. it's a sad thing to happen

my point exactly

Throw a match on it, woomph! Problem solved! And everyone gets fried pelican for lunch




Seriously though I am pissed off
