NICA has been adding to its publications since 2004.
Currently we have 4 botanical publications for sale. These books have been written by volunteers, who have produced books of outstanding quality which are in wide demand throughout Qld. These botanical books are for plant enthusiasts, residents and visitors attracted by Noosa’s sub-tropical environment. They are also for students, landscapers and home gardeners, and for everyone responsible for the ongoing protection of Noosa’s most valuable asset – its unique natural environment.

Fussy Glossies written by Catherine Cheung and Kim DeVantier is a children’s book, beautifully illustrated by Suzanne Bloomfield, which tells the story of Calypto, a lone Glossy Black-Cockatoo. This book was published in 2012 and is dedicated to well known local bird lovers Isobel Pert and Bob Carey.
Recently we have added Boreen Point.. not just any small town written by Sylivia Bannah this is an illustrated history of Boreen Point and nearby landmarks on the Noosa River system. It includes early accounts of Aboriginal-European contact and sheds light on the inspiration the town and lakeside environment have provided for artists of all kinds, the most notable being poet Judith Wright who was a driving force in the establishment of Cooloola National Park. All profits from the sale of this book to ‘Friends of Kinaba‘.
Apart from the books we now have NICA Polo shirts available in men’s and women’s sizes, these are a fantastic way to support NICA .
