Miles Hunting has lived in Noosa since 2003, having moved to the area from the UK.
For the past eight years he has been a much-loved volunteer at Noosa Regional Gallery, devoting his time once a week to the local creative hub.
Miles also volunteered at the Noosa Vistor’s Centre for two years and with Land for Wildlife for the past seven years.
Why do you volunteer?
I am a bit of an artist myself and I thought by volunteering at the gallery I would be able to do something interesting, get out in the community while being around something you enjoy.
What do you like most about volunteering?
I like the social side of it. If I’m honest, I’ve never looked at it as doing something to help people, but more as a personal interest and something to commit to once a week.
What do you love most about Noosa?
It would have to be the laid back lifestyle, slow pace of life and climate.
I know there is no way I could go back and live in the hustle and bustle that is England.
Please name one thing on your bucket list.
Travel to South America.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
I am very interested in the environment and passionate about looking after the natural area where I live.
I am also involved in the glossy black cockatoos conservatory and report sightings of the birds on our property on a regular basis.
