Concerns were raised when Noosa’s most famous trader ’Hey Bill’ Watson posted his tractor stall for sale on social media, but rest assured, he’s not going anywhere.
Bill said the iconic stall is just to be scaled down to a more streamlined version, which he already has, that will more easily cruise through the beach crowds.
At 72 years, Bill said it was time to downsize, discard some of his items such as coffee, and stick to the essentials of water and shaved ice.
Bill has had inquiries from Townsville and Brisbane from potential buyers.
And will they be keeping the name?
“They’d be mad not to,“ Bill said. “I’m known all over the world.“
