Davina and Gary Rossiter have been volunteering at Parkyn’s Hut Heritage and Tourist Information Centre for more than ten years. The Hut, as we call it, is on the corner of the main square in Tewantin beside the Royal Mail.
Thanks to Chris, skipper of the Noosa Queen donating his time and his boat for the evening, the family of Hut volunteers gathered on board to party and pay tribute to the enormous amount of work Davina and Gary have done for Parkyn’s Hut and for tourism in Noosa generally.
“We didn’t have much idea about the Tewantin Heritage and Historical Society, thought Parkyn’s Hut was just another visitors centre,“ Davis said. “President at the time was ex Councillor, June Colley and it wasn’t too long before June coerced Gary to take on the role of roster clerk.”
These two have been the backbone of administration at Parkyn’s Hut, maintaining the weekly roster, training new volunteers, liaising with Council and organising our annual celebrations.
We can add to this list the many and varied familiarisation visits Davina has arranged to keep the volunteers up to date with the multitude of tourist attractions available here in our beautiful Noosa region.
Davina and Gary are now seeking some time to themselves, time to tick off their travel list and to really enjoy this beautiful region we all call home.
We extend a very big thank you to Davina and Gary and wish them well.
Noosa tourism should be forever grateful to the wonderful group who volunteer at the Hut – 7 days a week, spreading the ‘Welcome to Noosa ‘ message.
Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer at Parkyn’s Hut should drop in for a friendly chat or call Michael 0401 609 133.
