Oops, I missed this letter of mine published in the Newcastle Herald on 10/12:

I WAS slightly puzzled by a few people saying online that Rising Tide left rubbish on Horseshoe Beach after the blockade, as I was aware of the great effort they made to keep the whole area immaculate. It turns out someone faked a photo of the beach covered in rubbish, blaming Rising Tide, and it has spread far and wide on social media. I presume this was the source of the rubbish comments. Just goes to show we need to question everything.
