The volunteers who keep the Parkyn’s Hut operating all year round are sending wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy, safe summer holiday to the community.

Fifty-plus volunteers and their partners gathered last week to celebrate the festive season at the Noosa Golf Club, joined by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and councillors Brian Stockwell and Tom Wegener.

Members of the Parkyn’s Hut family would like the thank the community for their generous support in providing raffle prizes to reward their wonderful volunteers.

The Hut, as it is known, is situated beside the Royal Mail Hotel in the heart of Tewantin.

It began as the Heritage and Historical Society back in 2001 and soon after became a tourist information centre, not only serving tourists but acting as a central hub for the local community.
