Just be aware that the Noosa Surf Club is undergoing a major renovation. That was to be the venue for Friday night but they said that about 50% of the venue is unusable at the moment.

Didn't the croocodile cuddle already take place at the Darwin OZ Fest?! Also John Brown, the ex minister for sport, recreation and tourism said in 1983 in reference to koala bears:
"The belief of Americans that they are a lovely, cuddly little bear is fairly well exploded when they get here and pick one of the rotten little things up," Brown said before stunned tourism industry leaders at the Brisbane luncheon. "They find it's flea-ridden, it piddles on you, it stinks and it scratches."
