Mission Beach Community Association is in the process of compiling its
2010 ‘State of 4852 Mission Beach’ report and if you have any
items to report which could be included in the report please forward. Although they try to cover most of 4852 area there
could easily be some items that have been missed and that need to be addressed by Council. Previous reports can be found on
their website. Next meeting is on Tuesday the 13th of April 7.30 pm at the Mission
Beach Resort.
Mission Beach Meals on Wheels once again has a shortage

Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a global call to action to
every individual, every business and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility,
to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future.
Local naturalist and author Adrian Walker will be launching his new book "Diary of a Snake Whisperer",
published by Boolarong Press, this month. It is a mixture of snakey wisdom, scientific information, and amusing tales
of some of the bizarre rescues, of both snakes and humans, that he is called on to perform. As well as the entertaining
tales, the book is illustrated with photography by Michael Anthony, and black and white drawings by Daryl Dickson. Join
us for drinks, nibbles and snakey chat at the Mission Beach Visitor Information Centre from 4pm
on Saturday, 20th March, or at the CRACA office and Gallery on Monday 22nd March
For more information, please ring CRACA on 4068 2589, or Adrian on 4068 7531
