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.

Last Tuesday 3rd December seven intrepid souls spent a pleasant morning at Kinaba.  They applied another generous coat of oil to the new boardwalk and bird-hide timber, fresh paint to the restrooms, and general cleaning and sweeping up mountains of rat shit! Also some decking along the front of info centre received a coat of oil. Beautiful time of year to head to the Upper Noosa wetlands - one of the pleasures of volunteering at the Kinaba Information Centre/

A lovely day for crossing the lake, with just enough boats available to ferry the 40 or so enthusiastic folk to Kinaba, to check out the newly re-opened boardwalk leading to the bird-hide. Our guest speaker, Professor Darryl Jones, spoke about birds and their connections with man and his environment.

Tea, coffee and lunch was enjoyed on arrival, followed by Darryl's interesting and entertaining presentation. Darryl had some of his most recently published books available for sale also.

Last working bee for the year was another joyful morning of cleaning, finishing maintenance jobs, and tidying up. What a great small team of wonderful volunteers we have. Thank you.

6 intrepid maintenance crew spent 2 half days at Kinaba, cleaning windows and cupboards, finishing painting the ceiling in the display room and manufacturing the door to Bob's outside kitchen.

The building is looking loved and looked after now, and we are pretty proud of the work done over the past 7 years - terrific!!!
