They do this by transforming the plastic bags into 350 kites, plastic bottle are transformed into costumes, chandeliers and other art objects and stretching across the Victoria Bridge is a massive collection of bread tags.
SunSuper River BBQ is a new event this year : A fantastic free BBQ on the Goodwill Bridge complete with roving musicians, art installations and of course a great cooked breakfast yes...all for free.
