More than a walk in the park!
Cooroy Future Group Inc., Noosa & District Landcare Group and Skilling Queenslanders for Work teams planted 2,000 trees The Great Noosa Country Trail Walk is certainly no walk in the park. This year’s event from 2-4 October attracted 200 walkers who covered a challenging 56 kilometres over three days and camped overnight at Kin Kin and Cooran. Recently renamed the Noosa Biosphere Trail the concept originated in 2013 with Shaun Walsh – a local with good connections in Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and Kin Kin. He wanted to, “Give the trail network a quality event involving the locals, keep the profile high and ensure the trail network is
never lost to these communities”. Walkers registered at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre and loaded their camping gear into a truck supplied by the Rotary Club of Eumundi. The club also provided an energy boost with a BBQ breakfast on the first day. A dedicated team of 16 volunteer guides were on the trail to support the walkers and everyone played a part to ensure this was a zero waste event. Cooroy Future Goup Inc.
