Finally we had perfect weather for the launching of Friends of Kinaba’s new boat, Jabiru.

Charlie faced a mob to explain how NICA (Noosa Integrated Catchment Association) secured a grant from a Government Gambling Fund, enabling FoK to purchase this boat.

Thanks were expressed to Sandy Bolton, MP;  Kieran Hoey, QPWS;  & John Olds, CCA,  for their letters of support, also to Jan Green, Richard Howard & Gill Studdock from NICA for their expertise. Thanks to Ada Medak & Ken Eddy from FoK, plus Max Bannah for his decal art-work, and Rob Killeen for donating secure storage of Jabiru.

A splendid presentation of finger food by Lena Bentley & Ada, together with bubbles & juice set the scene for a pleasant lakeside gathering.
