Pink up Cooroy this year celebrated over $100,000 raised towards supporting people affected by cancer through the McGrath Foundation’s Cancer Care Nurses.
And what a fun morning it was! The Cooroy RSL was filled with pink hair, clothes and bling, and there was a lot of excitement during the live auction, raffles and “the big prize draw” – for a lucky winner of a string of pearls and diamond clasp.
Funds raised deliver world-leading clinical, psychosocial and emotional support to people undergoing treatment, as well as their families. Originally established to assist those with breast cancer, the McGrath Foundation now extends support to people experiencing all cancers, including prostate cancer. Support is free, right across Australia.
Thank you to all the generous local businesses and individuals who donated prizes, and the volunteers who make it a success every year. View: mcgrathfoundation.com.au. ...

Noosa Council will begin major repair works on Nandroya Rd, Cooroy from 2 November to address significant damage caused by severe weather in early 2025.
The project will restore a section of road affected by a major landslide that undermined road stability and damaged the culvert below. Construction is expected to take around 4 months, subject to weather conditions.
To support safe and efficient construction, Nandroya Rd will be temporarily closed at the work site for the duration of the project. Detours will be in place, with motorists travelling between Cooroy and Eumundi redirected via Myall St, the Bruce Highway and Memorial Dr. Traffic from Eumundi to Cooroy will be diverted via Eumundi Range Rd, Memorial Dr and the Bruce Highway.
Noosa Council CEO Larry Sengstock said extensive investigations were undertaken to determine the most practical and cost-effective repair solution.
“The site presents a number of challenges, including overhead powerlines, underground services and a steep embankment approximately 8m above the creek,” said Larry.
He said a full road closure was identified as the safest and most effective option, allowing works to be completed more efficiently while minimising costs and environmental impacts.
Noosa Council has been working with emergency services, school bus operators and waste collection providers to reduce disruption during the closure. Safety assessments have also been completed on the approved detour routes.
The detours may add up to 15 minutes to travel times for some motorists. Noosa Council thanked residents and road users for their patience and said regular updates would continue throughout the construction period. ...

On 1 November at 10am, the 2nd Light Horse Regiment-Woombye Troop will commemorate the 109th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba when 20 Light Horsemen will parade through the town’s main street. This annual event is now one of Woombye’s special events.
The Battle of Beersheba, in what was then Palestine, on 31 October 1917, saw Australian Light Horsemen make a daring mounted attack against Ottoman defences.
Following the parade and memorial service, visitors will be invited to meet troop members and their horses, inspect the Light Horse Museum and share Anzac biscuits, damper, tea and coffee.
Woombye has a connection to the Light Horse, with a North Coast squadron headquartered at Woombye after Light Horse units were re-formed in the 1920s. Today’s living-history troop continues that association, maintaining uniforms, equipment, horsemanship and a local museum dedicated to preserving the story. ...
