Passion we have, and challenges too...

Progress is being made! E-mails are flying with plans for the Australia Day Event, and we've received the following pledges:

Guurrbi Tours is donating 10% of its tour income between now and 21 April 2011. 

Subject to confirmation from the National Trust, the James Cook Museum will donate $1 for each adult visitor until 31 March. (Our best wishes to the staff in NT's Queensland HQ, which is in Brisbane's flooded CBD.)

Cooktown Paradise Realty will be holding an Auction with all proceeds going to Cooktown Cares on Saturday, 29 January, 10am. Location to be advised. Please help with good quality, second-hand goods - household items, books - anything that can be auctioned! Phone Barbara Hay (07) 4069 5922 or 0418 695 922 for more information.

And thank you to Terry Rayner, from Endeavour River Escape, who was giving away boxes of passion fruit in town yesterday. With the markets in Brisbane flooded, and roads blocked, he wanted to share his harvest rather than see it go to waste. We might be a long way from the floods, but their impact is still felt.
