A picnic with a difference. After tea coffee and breakfast, Steve, Kieran and Blair from Parks took us for a guided tour of the new upgrade to the Figtree Point camping and day-use area. It's worth a visit.
The result of all their careful preparation and painting - a really nice display area. Thanks Friends of Kinaba
On Monday 19th October, Ada spoke to NICA members about the progress of the Friends of Kinaba project, and their continuing enthusiasm to have the Centre re-opened as an Information and Visitor Centre. She spoke eloquently and accompanied her talk with a slide show of the project and the surrounds.
A small group of volunteers have changed this room into a bright space for displays in one morning at Kinaba.
Sunday is the perfect day for a picnic at Kinaba. Please come and enjoy the beauty.
Our next byo Kinaba breakfast picnic will be on Sunday 17th May, meeting at the Boreen Point boat ramp rugged up and ready to depart at 7am.
At last after the third attempt, the valiant volunteers wielded their paintbrushes in the direction of the ceilings and verandah posts.
Our next byo Kinaba breakfast picnic will be on Sunday 30th November, meeting at the Boreen Point boat ramp rugged up and ready to depart at 7am.

The latest working bee was held on Thursday 16th October. 6 busy workers....painting, repairing and flashing....(that's roof flashing ). Mike Breid mentioned us on Community radio - thanks Mike.
More cleaning, scrubbing and painting at Kinaba, and every working bee makes such a difference to the feel and look of the building. It's wonderful to see the building being looked after.
The volunteers have so far replaced all timber joists, facias, posts and railings that were needed, and with more elbow grease, the building is looking more clean and tidy and spruced up at each visit. Well done!!!
I'm really sorry, but all the boats that are normally available to take people up to Kinaba have taken their owners sailing or on holidays. And that means that the only way to get to Kinaba is to walk from Elanda Point opposite the canoe launch area, or paddle. We are cancelling the picnic for this month, and the next one will be Sunday 31st August.
I apologize for the short notice, and if you would like to take yourselves there anyway for a picnic, you are most welcome.
Regards
Rikki for Interim Committee
