In this episode, our host-Richard Bawden has a conversation with Tony Wellington, the author of a wonderfully evocative book illustrated with Noosa and Cooloola's beautiful photographs. In this well-researched book, Tony narrates the 50 years history of the Noosa Parks Association that provides a very powerful and relevant 'living example' of the powerful impact that a group of "thoughtful and committed citizens" can have on shaping a local region's developmental visions and strategies.
