Rotary Day of Service: Cooya Beach Clean Up

As part of the Great Northern Clean Up, Mossman Rotary arranged a clean up at Cooya Beach on Sunday 19th September. Five Rotarians were joined by eleven Douglas Shire locals to clean up the beach and foreshore at Cooya. 16 bags of assorted rubbish were collected from what seemed like a pristine environment. There were also several larger items that could not be bagged, including 2 bicycle wheels, a camping chair with a torn seat, a bike seat and a broken plastic bollard. The day finished with a traditional Rotary Sausage Sizzle to thank our helpers.

District Governor’s Visit

On Wednesday 15th September  Karen and Martti Kankunnen spent the day in Mossman with our members. District Governor Martti Kankunnen and Karen were treated to a brief tour of Mossman and Port Douglas before a working lunch with the Mossman Rotary Board members at Mayi Cafe at Mossman Gorge.

Working Lunch at Mayi Cafe

After lunch we had a private guided tour of the Gorge, starting with a traditional smoking ceremony before taking us through the lush rainforest. We learnt about traditional plant use and bush foods along with traditions such as making bush soaps and ochre.

  Area Governor David Kirchner was decorated with ochre by Karen and was a great sport to wear his face paint for the rest of the day and evening.

David okay with ochre!

In the evening we had dinner at the Mossman Bowls Club where DG Martti and Karen inspired us with their vision for this Rotary year. DG Martti and Mossman President Roby inducted our new member Robyn Gray and welcomed her to the Rotary Club of Mossman.
