As part of their annual Clean Up Australia Day efforts, the team gave their local ‘Fairy Way’ some much-needed care (pictured above).
Fairy Way, a beloved community spot in Deception Bay, first appeared in 2020 when local volunteers from Moreton Bay Community Rocks began decorating and placing painted rocks along Esplanade South. The initiative quickly gained popularity, with visitors bringing their own decorated rocks to swap, further growing the display.
Rebecca Johnston from the Ray White Deception Bay events and marketing team said one of the business’ mission statements was to be more passionate about their area than their competitors.
“We try to do something that aligns with that once or twice a year. For example last year, we did the Heritage Trail along the waterfront for the team to learn a bit more about the history of Deception Bay,” Rebecca said.
“Hearing from local marine biologist, Bob Crudington, was part of this alignment as we have an Environmental Hub in our suburb that we hired out as part of our biannual training.
“We have a new staff member Karen Stanton who after the marine chat was inspired to go and take a walk along the Deception Bay foreshore. In doing so she came across Fairy Way and felt we could do a working bee there as part of our annual Clean Up Australia Day which we do down on the foreshore every year.
“We had a great time fixing up Fairy Way and received some really heart warming community feedback as well. Fairy Way is a community garden that is used by everyone and contributed to by the community.”
