Tourism is one of the pillars of the Mallacoota economy and every business and organisation in town benefits directly or indirectly from tourism.
 
Much is made of our pristine environment, our wilderness experience.
 
It seem strange then that so many of our businesses and organisations allow environmental weeds to thrive within areas under their direct control.
 
Occasionally I have been tempted to run a competition offering a substantial cash prize to the person how can match the most weeds to the most businesses or organisations.
 
If I tell people about this idea they say, When I see that, I'll know you've decided to leave town!
