The annual Cooroy Fusion Festival offers up an abundance of free experiences and entertainment on Saturday 12 May. One of the most enduring and popular of these is the Geckoes Wildlife Show, sponsored by Greenwood Grove.
“The Geckoes Wildlife Show is always a really popular feature of the festival and people of all ages like getting up close and personal with our Aussie animals and birds. We’ve expanded their involvement this year and after the show on the main stage there will be walkabout the festival where you can meet and greet the animals, with plenty of photo opportunities” explained Chris Bell, Chairperson of Cooroy Fusion committee.
The Geckoes Wildlife team have a wide range of specialist skills and knowledge in the environmental area such as endangered species, fauna friendly backyards and wildlife corridors so it isn’t just great fun to see the animals but a valuable learning experience for all ages too!
“Greenwood Grove shares a border with the natural wildlife corridor along Cooroy Creek which runs through Cooroy and is a wildlife blessing. Cooroy is a vibrant hinterland township with strong community values, an incredible array of sporting, shopping, cultural and educational facilities, yet only a short drive to Noosa Heads, the beach and National Park. Cooroy Fusion Festival is all about showcasing all of these fantastic components of the Noosa Hinterland, which is why as the developers of Greenwood Grove we sponsor this wonderful community event,” said Rob Midgley from Greenwood Grove.
Some of the other activities already confirmed for the 2018 festival are the Cooroy Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank Entertainment Tent; the Noosa Council Cooroy Library activities; Cooroy RSL Pickled Possum Bar; Cooroy IGA Tastes of the Hinterland Marquee; Wythes Real Estate Photo Booth & Mother’s Day Card Making; displays at Cooroora Woodworkers, Cooroy Camphor Laurel, Noosa Orchid Society and the Butter Factory Arts Centre; plus market stalls and many other free activities like rides, face painting and entertainment which are only made possible by the generous sponsorships from the Cooroy Rag, Cooroy Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Noosa, Suttons Cleaning Service, Cooroy Service Centre, Gelignite Jacks, Mower & ATV Solutions, Sunny Coast Accountants, Palm Lake Resort, SPM Law, Hinternoosa Real Estate and Katie’s Ark.
