Love your blog, found it on the TravelWord blog.

We run a resort on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and thought you’d like to know what a couple of organisations up (over?) this way do that your readers might be interested in.

We are on a quiet beach called Marcoola Beach and all along the Coast up to Peregian are nesting grounds for turtles and quite a few other marine life. Our local volunteer organisations such as Coolum Coast Care, Marcoola Coast Care and Coolum Area Parks Association spend time weeding the dunes and replanting natives, checking and monitoring turtles and clearing the river systems on kayaks!

They are always trying to encourage holiday makers to come down and lend a hand. It’s a really great way to meet locals and put back to the environment that we holiday in. We are keen travellers too, and try and look after the areas that we play, so they are there for future generations.

Let us know if you want more information on these groups.

Happy Traveling and get in and meet some locals!
