It is the wish of the Cooloola Coastcare Association Inc. and of Cooloola Nature, to fully acknowledge all the wonderful contributors who have extended their assistance on this project thus far.
Through the generous assistance of the many organisations and community volunteers who have seen fit to contribute their funds, time and efforts to this project 'Cooloola Birds', we hope to make it a lasting and beneficial success. By ultimately expanding this project to include all our wondrous Cooloola flora and fauna, we hope to one day be able to rename this site 'Cooloola Nature'.
We sincerely thank in advance all those who will help to achieve our goal of eventually producing a full accounting of our natural heritage for the benefit of our Community and as a legacy for the future.
