Heal Country 2021
Gubbi Gubbi Dance at Bunya sculpture Cooroy BFAC (Fiona Groom) NAIDOC formed in 1956 and stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee with ‘Heal Country’ as this year’s theme. “To be Aboriginal is to feel the oldness of the trees, to truly hear the birds when they sing. It is to live with Country; to live as Country. When our connection to land is severed, we are people without purpose,” says Worimi and Gumbaynggirr Elder, Aunty Lyn Davis. ‘Country’ is the lands, water, skies, animals, plants, peoples,
natural phenomena past and future and all that which cannot be seen or touched. To open celebrations on 4 July, Gubbi Gubbi Dance and Ivy Minniecon and The Black Wattles entertained the crowd gathered outside the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre (BFAC). Inside, the Heal Country exhibition is on until 18 July. It includes Paul Calcott’s series of 24 dot-paintings representing the Convention on Human Rights before the piece goes to a United Nations Headquarters’ exhibition in New York. Cont. p3

Gubbi Gubbi dance Cont. from p1 The NAIDOC flags were raised the following day outside Nambour Council Chambers. Brianna Hanson welcomed everyone with Wunya Ngulum in Kabi Kabi language, then said, “I’m not handing down this landscape; I’m borrowing it from the future.” Kerry Jones explained the 2021 theme: “Healing country is a very important thing to Kabi Kabi people. We’ve got to be working with councils on one hand but on the other, through all the development, we’ve got to be respecting the old trees and significant places so they can be passed on to younger generations. We should never take more than we need. “For the past 150 years this country has suffered through wrong fire management. Fire management needs to be changed so it’s not so violent and makes this country healthier, but we need to start with healthier people. “A lot of Kabi people are on the street living homeless, living in the parks. In this day and age when there’s so much development on our country, there should be none of that. Who wants to be out in the cold? Why can’t we have accommodation for everyone? “We need to look at our cultural values and pass them on so our younger generations are not just looking at computers and stuff. Take them out on country and heal them young fellas and young girls and our old people. A lot of our old people haven’t even been on country before. They were forcibly removed and taken away and they’ve never come back to see how beautiful Kabi Kabi country is. If we can bring them old people and them young people on a journey with us healing country, we’ll have a more peaceful place and a better place.” Waka Waka Gubbi Gubbi Gurengi Elder, Aunty Hope O’Chin raised the Aboriginal flag and
Ezekiel Davis at Cooroy later explained, ”I take comfort in that cultures and people right across the world have similar concepts of attachment to country and culture and spirituality. I’m reassured that we are all one”. Descendent of Gubbi Gubbi Mooloola Plains people and Gubbi Gubbi Dancer Ezekiel Davis also celebrated, “Having the NRL and big companies recognise Aboriginal culture is a big step forward. There’s a mental shift happening in society, especially in the last five years. When I was growing up you’d never hear anything positive about Aboriginal people, but now we’re dispelling ignorance”.

Supporting business through Covid
In times of adversity our community can remember it is important to be kind and support each other. We urge our community to be mindful of the impact of social media, and always refer to trustworthy sources of information. Wherever possible we also encourage you to shop local and buy local so businesses can bounce back quickly and recover. See www. eumundichamber.com.au.
The recent Covid19 exposure site that listed some Eumundi and surrounding areas businesses was a timely reminder that community transmission can happen anywhere, anytime. On 9 July there had not been any further confirmed community transmission in the Eumundi region. For directly impacted businesses this experience has been harrowing: having to immediately cease operations, notify staff and take compliance action. The financial and emotional distress is compounded by fear and panic in the community with misinformation and unkind comments circulating on social media, along with reports of abusive behaviour adding unwarranted pressure. Eumundi Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with our partners and affiliates, including Sunshine Coast Council is currently compiling a Covid19 Preparedness and Response package for future exposure listings and contact tracing alerts, which will be available to local businesses. Chamber is also liaising directly with industry partners and advocating for immediate

For the past year now, I have patiently watched the spectacular, new building sprout up from the ground like a lush, spreading tree, its tall, elegant branches reaching high into the vast, blue sky. Like a tree, it started small and grew bigger, slowly growing longer, thicker branches as the time went on. Except, they weren’t branches but crisp, white walls, clean, curving staircases and slender roofs. Just as a tree provides food for its inhabitants so does our new, massive tuckshop. It is laden with healthy and delicious food for us to order and eat, nourishing our bodies. We all know a tree’s thick branches stretch out casting deep, cool shadows and so does our expansive roof, creating a protective shelter for us to play in on sunny, humid days or just as likely, torrentially, wet days. Like saplings that are watered and tendered, it is not only the physical building that grows but it is in fact the Eumundi students’ minds and hearts that will flourish and develop. Nurtured by the kind, helpful teachers of Eumundi, in the impressive classrooms in which they learn, vital lessons will be cultivated. As our school motto states … While We Live, We Grow!

A long time ago in the year 2020, lived a tiny little seed waiting to be planted. But it wasn’t any ordinary seed…
Joy, a little girl who lived in the hinterland, found that seed along the Maroochy River. When Joy got back from the river, she decided to plant it in the middle of her school in Eumundi, but there was one good problem. Joy didn’t know that it was a special magical seed. A week later, the seed grew into a tree about the size of a one tier house. “Holy Cow!” cried Joy, “how did it grow so fast?” she asked. Three weeks later, the tree grew triple the size. By then, the tree was a full-grown magical tree. Its branches were like classrooms, its trunk was like stairs. People from all over the Sunshine Coast came to see it. Everyone in the school was so thankful that they filled it with joy and laughter. While Joy was walking around the tree admiring her achievement, she heard a deep voice that said, “Thank you for planting me!”. She looked around…..and no one was near her. Did the tree just talk to Joy?
We are thrilled to be a part of the Eumundi community and to support our children’s learning and growth. www.eumundipalms.com.au

Lifestyle and fashion
30 ways to wear trousers Who knew there were 30 ways to wear trousers? That bible of fashion, Vogue, enlightened me. For the uninitiated, the following picks are now so in, we are bound to fall over our own hemlines. Pants of any size have hems as wide as a terrace house frontage, which means legs drag and flap like sodden sails. Nor are high tide marks of dirt and rips from trips counted as designer trims. Granma’s cable knits just got long-errrrr and turned into every ‘insta’ influencer girl’s goanywhere must have - wide-legged, chunky, cable-knit pants. Quel horreur! Knits also run the gamut of every other outer garment including the mainstay of the ‘Athleisure’ devotee’s wardrobe – the hoodie. It has gone uptown, featuring front and centre of most canny designers’ collections. Did I mention colour? Pumpkin. Hold that thought, then add forest-y Scottish tartan green. And un-pretty patterns. Etro Retro - not funky, just clunky. I know just one person who can but doesn’t wear these colours and look healthy on a good day. They work on the young and beautiful because they are (young and beautiful). For
the rest of us, op-shops are going to provide free sunnies come end-of-season, and green 50% discount tickets off anything fabric and inanimate with legs. But all praise to the cowboy. Bootleg is back. Whether a person is long, round, tiny, bean thin, or any combo you like, bootleg works. A pair have obstinately stayed hiding in the bottom of my jean drawer, hoping that the world will one day soon be saved from their owner squeezing sturdy calves into dead-twig fitting, skinnylegged, supposedly stretchy denim. If all else fails there is the extended cardigan that covers everything. Preferably one that comes in ‘one size fits all,’ like the ubiquitous, voluminous, but forever comfy, OODIE. In summary, cable knits belong on the back, not the bottom. Hoodies go from OODIE to Chanel, Athleisure must be a Kardashian marketing thing, and bootlegs are forever. Oola Styles

Firstly, thanks for the emails that Eumundi Police receive from members of the community regarding our policing activities. Sometimes we get asked why I don’t include certain stories that people may have witnessed or heard of around the community. I am not permitted to report things of a sensitive nature but despite this, I try to keep this monthly report a little interesting. To kick things off in June, we followed up the month of May being the busiest month to one of the slowest, not that colleagues Blair, Gary or Warwick were complaining. During the month there were only eight arrests on 14 charges. Eumundi Police nonetheless responded to 36 calls for assistance and emergencies. Police attended a serious assault, two dangerous operations of motor vehicles and three drugrelated matters. There were a couple of break and enter incidents reported from Rangeview St and Memorial Dr Eumundi and Eerwah Vale. We also executed a search warrant on a camping ground at Belli Park in relation to stolen goods from building sites around Noosa. Two offenders are now before the courts. We had another stolen car reported in June and three reports of stealing from vehicles from Doonan and Eumundi areas. Our Road Policing colleagues as always are out and about keeping our streets safe from speeding and hooning offenders. The Road Policing team from Coolum issued 52 tickets for the month of June in and around Eumundi
area. As well, Eumundi police caught two drink drivers and three disqualified drivers during our 229 mobile RBTS performed. That means that less than 1% of drivers are doing the wrong thing which is an improvement over the last 12 months. During June traffic crashes for our area included a truck v coaster bus on EumundiKenilworth Rd. From 1 July, there is a gun amnesty. This amnesty will run for an unknown period of time. Any firearms that are unregistered can be handed in to a gun dealer to be destroyed as part of the amnesty with no questions asked. If you have any unregistered firearms that have been found buried, now is the time to get rid of them. Thanks again for reading. Until the July report, please stay safe.

Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens Vivienne, Beatrice, Jill, Maria, and Blue
Friends of the gardens The Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens hosted their monthly Sunday morning, entertained by accomplished local singer/songwriter Zac Gunthorpe. A welcome warming coffee was offered by Tim of Mrs Bean Mobile Coffee, and Beatrice Croft engaged participants in an ephemeral art experience using foraged materials. Different styles of music and experiences are offered at the gardens on the first Sunday of the month.
Bottle caps with a message Dutch-Australian artist Angela Van Boxtel, who moved to Noosa last year from Sydney, is calling on Sunshine Coast residents to help her complete her latest art project. Angela uses waste materials to create sculptures that raise awareness about environmental issues. A recent project, the Teeny Greeny Plastic Bag Bikini, was a bikini made entirely of plastic bags, which is now part of Manly Art Gallery and Museum’s historic fashion collection. Angela’s proposed sculpture Singled Out will be made entirely of plastic bottle caps. She hopes her art will start a conversation about plastics and the recycling industry. Her art centres around the idea that “waste is a resource not yet explored”. The sculpture design has been selected for Noosa’s Floating Land 2021 exhibition, after which Angela hopes to sell the piece or have it become part of a collection.

The Gallery Eumundi The Gallery Eumundi has a new permanent home. Seven years ago, directors Steve and Karen Beardsley changed their business model of the gallery to become a web-based platform with online sales from their original home in Eumundi. The advent of Covid19 required a reinvention of their business and they opened a pop-up shop in Noosa. This has proven to be a successful move and last week they signed a lease for three years in Hastings St. They support established and emerging Australian artists, giving exposure both nationally and internationally.

Yandina Baptist Church Qld Garden Expo
Yandina Baptist Church celebrated its centenary in fine form 5-6 June. Visitors and regulars filled the church for two special services.
Thousands including these two wonderfully dressed attendees enjoyed all that the Queensland Garden Expo at Nambour had to offer again this year. In a year that saw an increase in gardening beginners, the event tailored its programming with some ‘Back to Basics’ speaker sessions which proved very popular, complementing a program that has something for every gardener and their families.
Speakers included Pastor David Tidey, and Lee Goleby and Ron Buchanan from the centenary committee who shared the church’s history from 1910. Yandina historian, Audienne Blyth, gave a cameo first-hand account of the tornado that wrecked the church building in 1955. Much time was spent catching up and reminiscing after the services.

A new look Eumundi
Placemaking update (C Erin Harrison)
Placemaking update The complexity of planning and designing improvements to Eumundi’s main street as part of Sunshine Coast Council’s Placemaking process was brought home to participants at an update presentation on 25 June, by members of the SCC Design and Placemaking team as well as council’s Parking and Transport team at the Imperial Hotel’s Green Room. Div 10 Cr David Law shared some great news: council has allocated an additional $500,000 to the Eumundi Placemaking project budget as part of its 10-year capital works program. The streetscape improvement now has a construction budget of $1.27 million across the 21/22 and 22/23 financial years. The project is now in the Concept Design Phase with further opportunities for public feedback during the coming months. After this, the design will be finalised and contracts awarded—with planned construction to start after Easter next year. During the session, elements of the streetscape design—raised by participants at previous workshops and public feedback opportunities— were presented. The audience was reminded that all streetscape improvements must comply with existing infrastructure and regulations for sewerage, water, electricity, and protection of the heritage facades, and they must maintain street view lines and character. Council also indicated that the design ideas presented are subject to further design investigations, community feedback and budget considerations. Considerations for local business were outlined, 16
such as how council can support traders and reduce the impact on trade during construction. Council offers an online guide to prepare businesses for trading during construction project. See https://bit.ly/3ARa2Kl. Previous Placemaking public sessions identified key ideas for consideration. These included: maintain Eumundi’s character, make it more pedestrian friendly, create cooler and shadier areas, make it more inviting at night, have more areas to sit and for outdoor dining, and increase pride in the town by tidier and more cared-for street treatments. At another workshop on 4 May, participants identified five priorities for spending: creative entrance statement, lighting to create a more pleasant atmosphere and increase safety, a better pedestrian link to Napier Rd, enhancing Memorial Fig Trees, and safer crossing points for Memorial Dr particularly near the Caplick Park area. The tension between constraints and opportunities was explained with clear examples: Lighting Suggestions included better lighting at night to make the town feel safer and to create atmosphere. However, lighting should be sensitive to fauna, and also needs a style which fits the character of the town. LED programmable lights have been successful in other towns, however it’s not just a matter of replacing them all to make them consistent, because in an historic town, identifying who owns which light can be problematic: Main Roads, council or private individuals.
Parking SCC staff reported on a parking survey, which identified 419 places in street parking within a 400m walk of the main street as sufficient when compared to other towns. However, participants at the meeting expressed concern that prime parking spots in Memorial Dr seemed to be always full. This meant tourists and locals, especially business operators, felt frustrated. They thought side-street parking in was regarded by regulars as too far away. Council discussed the opportunity to better connect Memorial Dr to Napier Rd area’s car parking. Connective pathways would need to be attractive and make users feel safe, particularly at night. Pedestrian crossings Council completed a survey of pedestrian traffic which identified a mismatch between where people want to cross and existing crossings. Traffic surveys identified many potential conflict points, between pedestrians, parked cars and reversing cars. Footpath dining Participants in earlier workshops suggested that footpath dining would enhance the appeal of Eumundi and attract visitors. However, this may mean a loss of some parking spots in areas where footpaths are extended to accommodate the new dining space. Surface treatments There are a number of considerations when determining how best to improve the footpaths in Memorial Dr. Currently there are different surfaces, due to the town’s age and history of patches and repairs. Council has to consider if the choice is to replace all of the footpath, with
something less expensive such as concrete, or spread the work over a longer time and use more traditional, but more expensive, treatments such as pavers which would enhance the town’s character. Shading Putting in advanced trees seems like an easy way to achieve desirable shade in the main street, but it is not just a matter of planting, as the areas which need the most shade may also be on top of existing underground infrastructure such as sewerage, electrical and drainage. A viable solution to introducing more shade may be a mix of both street trees and shade awnings over any new outdoor dining areas. Community members have further opportunities to participate in the placemaking process. Over the coming months council will present a Draft Streetscape Concept Design for feedback. Late in 2021 the final design will be presented, followed by detailed design and preparation for construction. April 2022 is the anticipated date for construction.

The final tally from Verrierdale Hall’s Biggest Morning Tea for the Qld Cancer Council this year was a grand total of $4738. This was boosted on the day by raffles, sales of jams and pickles raising $2229. Plant sales during the last two years raised $2347 and cow poo sales $162. Plant sales were interrupted by Covid19 restrictions but generous donations and willing hands at the morning tea made the grand total achievable. Take a bow all at Verrierdale Hall.

Song of the Crocodile is not only a beautifully written book but also gives the reader an understanding of First Nation’s history and culture. The book almost insists that you take your time reading it, so that you can absorb the characters, landscape, spiritual connection and the injustices which the family endure. Full of music, Yuwaalaraay language and exquisite description, Song of the Crocodile is a lament to choice and change, and the unyielding land that sustains us all, if only we could listen to it. I’m sure we will see much more of this very talented Yuwaalaraay author in the future.
Wild Cat Falling In 1965, Wild Cat Falling by Mudrooroo was published under the name Colin Johnson, as no novel written by an Aboriginal Australian had been printed. Now, a 50th edition proves Mudrooroo’s importance to Australian literature. The book has never been out of print and is used as a school and university text. The story tells of the dislocation of an unnamed 20
protagonist, who belongs neither to his own people and culture, nor to the white society. The opening pages set the hard emotional constraints self-imposed by the lead character: “For me Fremantle jail has been a refuge of a sort. They have accepted me here as I have accepted hopelessness and futility…Hope is an illusion for squares. I don’t fall for it…I trained myself this way so no phoney emotion can touch me.” A powerful book, and a powerful example of the fictional autobiography genre.
Castaway Queensland born Robert Macklin is a journalist, confidante and biographer of two Australian prime ministers; a documentary filmmaker in 32 countries of Asia and the Pacific; and political columnist. His 30 books cover novels and nonfiction, provide insight into Australian History, current politics and international relations. Macklin’s Dark Paradise exposed the horror of colonial sadism on Norfolk Island. His monumental history of Australia’s Special Forces Warrior Elite is required reading for military security and intelligence. His best-selling biography SAS Sniper reveals in-depth battles against Islamist fanatics. Hamilton Hume told the fascinating story of our greatest explorers. Castaway is an amazing research-based true story of a French cabin boy who lived for 17 years with the Uutaalnganu people of North Qld. Macklin uses contemporary accounts, newspaper reports, interviews with Narcisse and photographs in telling the story of Narcisse Pelletier, just 14 years old when his ship ran aground off New Guinea.
The few survivors of the wreck travelled 1000 kilometres to the Daintree region where Narcisse was abandoned by his shipmates. Rescued by local Aboriginal people he received initiation and participated in every aspect of their culture, finding a wife and fathering children. Discovered by a pearling lugger crew, Narcisse was forcibly returned to life in France—but despite another wife and family, his soul longed for those he left behind. Eileen Walder

William Buckley, escaped convict
Escapes and rescues Eumundi’s town name is derived from Ngumundi or Huomundy, the name of a local Aboriginal warrior of the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi). Before 1890 the town was called Eerwah after Mt Eerwah but this was changed to avoid confusion with Beerwah. The Noosa River was once called Huon Mundy’s River. A creek crossing under the Noosa/ Eumundi Rd still bears this name. Stuart Russell, an early pioneer-explorer, called Mundy “a great fighting man who was well inclined toward the whites”. Several castaways and escaped convicts from the Moreton Bay penal colony found help and relative safety among the Kabi Kabi. Richard Parson, Thomas Pamphlett and John Finnegan were convict castaways, accepted by several Indigenous groups who believed they were ancestral ghosts due to their white skin. They travelled through Coolum in 1823 becoming the first Europeans to reach Moreton Bay. In July 1827 convict John Graham escaped the Moreton Bay penal colony. Living on game and fish, he avoided the Aborigines until a widow recognised him as the ghost of her dead husband. Graham lived with them for six years, in the Tewantin area, learning their language and ritual. In November 1833, however, he returned to Moreton Bay and surrendered. Another escapee, David Bracewell lived with a family group around Cootharaba, also spending three years on Fraser Island. He claimed Huon Mundy adopted him in 1831, naming him 22
‘Wandi’ (Big Talker). He too adopted tribal life and claimed to have been responsible for the survival of Eliza Fraser following the shipwreck of the Stirling Castle in May 1836. She was taken in by the Butchulla (Badtjulla) people after the death of her husband Capt Fraser. Huon Mundy and the Butchulla (Badtjulla) family group, accepted the survivors into their community where everyone shared workload, food and conditions. A search party led by Lieutenant Otter with John Graham acting as guide and interpreter rescued the survivors. Graham’s bravery was recognised with freedom and £10. On returning to England, Eliza Fraser drew crowds with her lectures on the ‘horrendous conditions of her slavery’. She claimed the ‘extremely filthy’ natives had ‘tortured’ her. Much was proved false but these public statements were a major factor behind the cruel mistreatment and dispossession of the Butchulla of Fraser Island and other Kabi Kabi groups. Bracewell himself was rescued (recaptured) in 1842. Andrew Petrie, one of the rescue party wrote, “He was in looks an old man: his hard life had added its brand to the years of his seamed features.” Bracewell then became part of the mission with Petrie to retrieve James Davis. Transported aged 14 for stealing 2s 6d from a church, Davis eventually escaped Moreton Bay colony living with many tribal groups in the Wide Bay region for 14 years. He was recognised as Duramboi, the dead son of local chief Pamby Pamby, given high status, freedom to move between tribes and learned many languages although he could only sign his name and had forgotten all his English when rescued in 1842.

Have your say: Noosa Area Management Plan The Department of Environment and Science has prepared a draft management plan for the Noosa area to protect a diverse range of native plant and animal species and natural communities, while allowing for continued recreational opportunities. This includes Noosa Headland—one of Queensland’s most visited destinations. The Noosa Area Draft Management Plan incorporates five national parks and reserves: Noosa National Park, Noosa Resources Reserve and Conservation Parks at Noosa, Weyba Creek and Keyser Island.

Tough new parole laws for child killers Thank you to everyone who signed our petition to keep child killers like Barrie Watts behind bars. Your support, along with more than 72,000 Queenslanders, has helped achieve tough new laws which give the President of the Parole Board the power to make a declaration against child killers and other ‘worst of the worst’ offenders, stopping them from applying for parole for up to 10 years after their eligibility date. As we wait to hear the outcome of Barrie Watts parole application, on behalf of Sian’s family, I would like to thank the entire community for this outcome. The fight is far from over, and we’ll keep fighting until justice is served. Register for VAD Forum There’s still time to have your say on the proposed Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation, if you haven’t yet returned your survey.

captured the Mephisto,” says Raymond. In the photo, Dick Caplick is on the right and behind the soldier in the front. The Mephisto is a World War I German tank, the only surviving example of an A7V. In April 1918, during a German attack at Villers-Bretonneux on the Western Front, it became stuck in a shell-hole and was abandoned by its crew. It was recovered by Allied troops about three months later and, after the war, taken to Australia as a trophy.
The 1942 Jeep
The Jeep, the tank and the local Eumundi’s ANZAC services often have a special vehicle as part of the parade. Raymond Weh, the grandson of Dick Caplick (the park on Memorial Dr is named after him), explained that the jeep is a rare Script Ford 1942 model. First owned by Raymond’s aunt on her 25,000 acre property, Aurifa Downs, north west of Goondiwindi, it was used on the highly productive sheep, cattle and wheat property until the couple retired to Witta Circle in Noosa. In 1986, the couple brought the jeep with them to be restored in a Noosa workshop. They intended it be converted to right-hand drive, but the work took a very long time, and the older couple realised they missed country life, and moved to Cambooya (near Toowoomba) leaving the jeep with Raymond. Raymond joined the Sunshine Coast Jeep Club in Buderim to learn how best to restore the vehicle. It has been lovingly restored with all genuine parts: every nut and bolt has the Ford ‘F’ inscribed. “The restoration and taking the Jeep to local services is an honour as Pop, my grandfather served with the 26th Battalion. Pop was one of the Australian soldiers who, on the Somme,

The standard of polo was high with professional players in each of the eight teams. Playing on the day were Robbie Ballard, who was in the team that won the Australian Open last year, and Simon Hill a professional who played for Kerry Packer and now coaches and teaches at Noosa Country Polo. Billy Taylor was awarded most improved polo player from the Noosa Country Polo team. The final came down to a game between Colliers and Countryside Realty Noosa teams, that battled it out for an hour with Colliers eventually winning by only one and a half goals—taking the Dowling Cup to Brisbane.
Noosa Country Polo Noosa Country Polo recently hosted the Dowling Cup which has been continuously in competition for over 70 years on the Sunshine Coast. Spectators enjoyed the day watching the polo, with picnics from their car boots, sharing the moment with friends, family and work colleagues.

This is a huge contributor to the 300 million tonnes of plastic waste created every year, almost equivalent to the weight of the entire human population.

Where are the Buyers Coming From? Dinner party conversation often revolves around the property market with many people asking, “Where are the buyers coming from?” A lot of people think that all the buyers are from Melbourne and Sydney, and while there have been good numbers purchasing from ‘down south’ the majority of the buyers are from our local beachside suburbs. Without exception these buyers nominate that the coast is becoming too busy and they yearn for the peace and privacy the hinterland provides. Many still enjoy beachside recreational activities like an early morning surf or swim, National Park walks or a stroll along Gympie Terrace followed by a coffee, and then, with a smile on their face, they retreat to their sanctuary in the Noosa Hinterland. Kess and Graham would love to give you more information on this developing buyer trend. Just contact us and we’ll provide the coffees.
