Arming each participant with a paddle, bucket, sieve and picker stick, ‘Clean Up Kayak’ is a tour of Australia’s Sydney Harbour with a difference. The sole objective, says founder Laura Stone, is to clear rubbish from the harbour - and business is thriving. “We’ve been quite surprised, even through the pandemic, we’ve been very busy,” Stone said.
