Spring festival on the mountain

Walk, stroll, climb or just relax, eat, drink and listen to the music at the Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival, the Rotary Club of Cooroy’s major annual fundraiser on Sunday 18 August from 6.30am to 3pm.

Billy tea and damper and a hearty BBQ breakfast is a great way to start the day. Stroll

through the rain forest walk or sit and enjoy the entertainment. There is a bush poets

corner, music by Pineapple Crush and a live broadcast by Noosa Community Radio

101.3FM. For those wanting a little exercise you can climb the mountain in an easy two hour return walk if you register to do so before 1pm or you could join in the hobby horse racing.

An added attraction this year is the Airbus Australia, the only mechanical musical DC-3 in the world, featuring a pipe organ, pianola and a mechanical button accordion. The rear end opens like a real cargo plane and you can hear music from the 1920’s through to modern classic.

Cooroy Rotary will be raising money to support local charities with the main beneficiary disability service provider Sunshine Butterflies.

President Warren O’Neill said the club was grateful to Cooroy Mountain Spring Water for providing access to the mountain and

McDermott Helicopters who will provide short flights for $55 over the mountain and Cooroy.
