Kuranda Paper Monthly Wrap – September 2024
Through the looking glass…(as usual, our comments in italics) We almost didn’t bother to do a monthly wrap this month due to a lack of anything worth wrapping about…apart from the newly spruced up Country Womens Association Community Hall which we’ve already covered in an earlier post…then we had a change of heart. By the…
Mareeba Shire Council Monthly Roundup – September 2024
Every month we’ll be sifting through the 100’s of pages of MSCs monthly meetings to keep you up to date about what’s being done and what’s NOT being done for our community here in Kuranda by those up in Mareeba – this month we’ve narrowed it down to a Kuranda specific 8 pages (from 295)….
The Kuranda Community Precinct Strategic Plan 2016-2021
We just came across this… Could this be what the Kuranda Community Precinct Draft Master plan the Council seems to be putting together as we speak is based on – taking into consideration their ‘Advisory Committee’ hasn’t met for over 5 years? If it is they haven’t accomplished much since 2016 now have they? If…
Did you notice…
The ‘devil’ is ALWAYS in the detail and the details are ALWAYS in the small print… Remember, the Queensland State Government own Ergon Energy and we, up here in Far North Queensland, only have one provider – them. Ergon Energy Bill Dated 5.7.2024 Tariff 11 – Residential Flat Rate (General Domestic) (04/06/24 – 01/07/24) Rate…
“You would be genuinely shocked if you went over and visited Mona Mona today…”

Creating a Community Council – Creating Kuranda Community Council
It all begins with you. Back in July I was invited to speak at the ‘Human Family Project’ meeting held out at Koah. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my views Emma. The meeting was well attended by around 50 people (most of whom I didn’t know) and my talk seemed to…
‘What have you and your group achieved…..?’
A recent comment in the Book of Faces group has been made of which the exact words escape us, as the comments have since been taken down, words to the effect of ‘what have you and your group achieved…..’ We hope this response answers their question. I, we and us have achieved nothing. What we…
Queensland State Election 2024
For the past couple of weeks we’ve been contemplating about holding a ‘meet the candidates’ pre-state election meeting… The last time I organised one of these meetings was down at the bottom pub with Barry Smith over a decade ago, it went quite well really… Three of the candidates were intentionally told the wrong time…

Kuranda Paper Monthly Wrap – August 2024
Through the looking glass…(as usual, our comments are in italics) https://www.kurandapaper.com/_files/ugd/f0cb2f_018fae6ccff6413fa15d0a2ff8100537.pdf Front Page – Cover Masthead Having an image by an artist from the ‘Johnstone River catchment’ makes us wonder… Were there no local artists from Kuranda, indigenous or otherwise, that the paper could have used for their masthead this month? Why the ‘outsourcing’? Page…
