Sea heart seeds from distant rainforests ride the ocean waves and wild winds to wash up on eastern Cape York. But amongst the seeds and natural debris are tonnes of ocean rubbish. The flotsam and jetsam of global reality.

And if you want to do something to help clean up this ocean rubbish, check out the Clean Coast Collective video of their Trash Tribe Expedition to Chilli Beach, Cape York. They collected seven tonnes of rubbish in a week in 2017.
