Book excerpt: Located on Lake Cootharaba, the largest lake on the Noosa River system, Boreen Point has long been a mecca for sailors, fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers, artists and holiday makers and was possibly the first tourist resort in the Noosa region. Boreen Point?not just any small town is an illustrated history of the township and nearby places in the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park from 1871 to 2021. While the main focus is on the establishment and development of Boreen Point, it is also a regional history covering themes that link it with broader economic, social, cultural and environmental developments in the Gympie/Noosa region. It includes early accounts of Aboriginal-European contact and highlights the impact of colonisation on the Kabi Kabi traditional owners. It also sheds light on the cohesiveness of the community and the inspiration that Boreen Point and the lakeside environment have provided for artists of all kinds, the most notable being renowned Australian poet and short story writer Judith Wright who was a regular visitor from 1953 to the mid-1960s, a period that was critical in shaping her as an environmental and Aboriginal activist.

Download or read book Place of Shadows written by Phil Jarratt and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive history of Noosa comes straight from the heart. Award-winning writer Phil Jarratt has lived in the seaside town for more than 30 years, and has played many roles, as both communicator and protagonist, over its transition from sleepy village to iconic resort. In many ways it is a love letter to his adopted home, but the Noosa story is not always a pretty one, and Jarratt does not flinch from the harsh realities of the cruelties inflicted on the Kabi Kabi First Nation, nor from the wild years when Tewantin was a playground for cashed-up gold diggers, nor from the unscrupulous development deals of the Joh era. But this is a history filled with admiration for the fighters of the past, and hope for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There has been considerable recent policy debate on street sex work in local neighbourhoods. This report examines how residential areas characterised as areas of female street sex work are shared by different sections of the community. Neighbourhood and policy responses to street sex work are also considered." "The report draws on research with sex workers, residents and agency staff in five case study areas in England and Scotland. It considers community responses to street sex work and the varying degrees of tolerance and engagement. Exploring whether residential streets can serve as shared spaces where residents and sex workers may coexists, the authors reflect on the scope for improving relations through initiatives such as consultation, mediation and awareness raising." "Living and working in areas of street sex work considers both the effectiveness of responses, such as enforcement and the use of antisocial behaviour legislation, and the need for integrated initiatives to address community conflicts and management of the street scene."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Irish rugby as you've never seen it before -- from the man who got the job every rugby lover would love to have. 'Rala has a gift for making people feel at ease and special at the same time' Paul O'Connell Patrick 'Rala' O'Reilly has been bagman for the Irish rugby team for over twenty years. In that time he's witnessed many highs and lows. But for him rugby has always been about the people, the places and the experiences. Here, with his own inimitable wit and humour, he shares with us his unique memories of his time spent at the very centre of Irish and Lions rugby. From his early days with Terenure RFC to touring with the Lions in 2009 and 2013, to pre-match traditions, pranks, iPod playlists and his love affair with Inishbofin, he tells a behind-the-scenes story of team spirit and friendship. With anecdotes from Keith Wood, Brian O'Driscoll, Donncha O'Callaghan, Jamie Heaslip, Peter Clohessy, Paul O'Connell and others, Rala: A Life in Rugby gives us an insight into the world of rugby - as never seen before. 'He's a gent, a role model ... but, most importantly, he's a great friend' Jamie Heaslip 'Even when I stopped being captain, I'd find my bags in my room when I arrived at the hotel, and my laundry hanging on the back of my door. He didn't have to do that, but then there's so much that he didn't have to do, but he still did' Brian O'Driscoll
