✍️ THANK YOU FRANCES ✍️

Did you know that in each edition we have a dedicated History column? Written by local historian and retired Coolum High librarian, Frances Windolf?

How interesting it is to learn about our history, and who would have thought that power only came to Coolum in 1956!

Frances is an absolute wealth of local knowledge and we are ever so thankful for her contributions- thank you Frances 🙏
