All the excitement about the proposed bicycle paths and infrastructure etc. is really good. But, once again, I must be low on my meds as bits, here and there, ring familiar. Alan Lander’s Noosa News piece turned on the light bulb.

Back in 2011 that pesky Noosa Biosphere Reserve lot had a submission to Queensland Regional Development for walking and cycle trails across both biospheres and Fraser Island. Both biospheres being Noosa Biosphere and Great Sandy Biosphere which, incidentally, are the only two biospheres in the world to share a common border, thereby facilitating the proposed network across a geography of extraordinary diversity.

I now await the third dose of déjà vu to strike to perhaps prove a bundle of old ideas just fell off the back of a truck during the clean out of Noosa Biosphere Reserve v1 and are now being refreshed. Great if they are.

Michael is well known in Noosa for his voluntary contribution to several flag ship enterprises. He was Chairman of Tourism Noosa and is acknowledged as preserving TN as an independent tourism organisation despite efforts to amalgamate it along with other coast tourism entities; Michael was also the inaugural Chair of Noosa Biosphere Ltd., the first successful biosphere model in Queensland; under his chairmanship the new model for The Original Eumundi Markets was established. Michael spent some 20 years in arts and entertainment, including being the Executive Producer of the NSW Bicentennial Arts Program; he has worked in corporate public affairs and holds a number of certifications in environmental tourism. He was CEO of Best Western then created and managed the biggest executive mentor service in Australia. He occasionally still lectures in corporate governance.
