Help save Burgess Creek

A group of passionate locals will this weekend begin work to regenerate Burgess Creek in Sunrise Beach.

This important ecosystem is Noosa’s Eastern Beaches only significant free-flowing creek and is home to a variety of native flora and fauna species, including endangered frogs and the Glossy Black Cockatoos.
