Following the walk, there’ll be a free all ages concert in King George Square, featuring the likes of Katie Noonan, Black Market Rhythm Co. and Dallas Frasca.

A quick update on the details for this weekend’s dune care activities (click on the image to enlarge).

Hope we see you there!

Great news! The chapter recently applied for a grant from SEQ Catchments Ltd. Community Natural Resource Management for on ground support.

We were awarded $500 which will go towards some much needed equipment so that we can continue our work at the North Kirra Dune Care site, when the wonderful Naomi from Griffith Centre for Coastal Management moves on to her next community group.

We have one more event with Naomi and the centre’s equipment during the Kirra Surf Stock Festival and then we’re on our own, so to speak.

A big thank you to SEQ Catchments Ltd., we will put those shovels, watering cans and weeding forks to good use!

Got this great cartoon from one of our supporters, Phil Spratt, last week. Better known as Spratti, and the brains behind Spratti Art, Phil specialises in original caricature and cartoon artwork and was only too happy to let us post the pic here.

Thanks Phil!
