Twelve intrepid souls crossed the lake in ideal lake-crossing conditions, to spend a few hours maintaining the Information Centre. Two of those folk were inducted on-site, adding to our volunteer base.

General cleaning, painting and minor repairs carried out, plus listing future tasks to be tackled. As usual, morning tea offered a chance to re-group and chat.
It was our first dedicated maintenance trip with the new vessel "Jabiru", with passengers suitably impressed.

Perfect weather conditions greeted eleven intrepid souls to cross the lake in four vessels, to tackle some long-overdue tasks at the Information Centre.

Two of those folk were inducted on-site as new volunteers. 

General maintenance and a friendly and social morning tea consumed the morning, before the pleasant return journey to the ramp.

On 27th April Friends of Kinaba committee met at Kinaba with QPWS staff to begin planning for the entire display area to be revitalised with lots of exciting and new display and information for visitors to the centre.

This has been a long time vision and is very exciting.

Fine conditions prevailed for the final maintenance event for 2020. Nine dedicated volunteers spent a pleasant morning keeping the Information Centre presentable for visitors.
 

Boardwalk oiling and general cleaning were the dominant tasks, and the crew were rewarded with champagne, beer and yummy snacks, after the obligatory morning tea.

Great conditions prevailed for a maintenance morning at the centre. Four boat crew and one walk-in got stuck into painting, window cleaning, minor fixups here and there, plus observing the huge group of college students arriving in several canoes and departing on foot, plus another group arriving on foot and departing in canoes.

Morning tea was a welcome diversion with a chance to relax and chat.

Many thanks to those volunteers...You know who you are......your efforts are appreciated. Another caretaking event will be announced for mid September.
