Happy New Year from the Habitat

The Habitat Eco Resort, on Lake Cootharaba was the best place for starting 2026 with like minded friends, My highlight piece of nature was kayaking on the Noosa River at Harry's hut. Some sensory writing to remember the highlights. The kayak slips quietly into the Noosa River, and with the first gentle stroke the world softens. Each paddle dips into perfectly calm water with a hushed, rhythmic sigh. The surface is glassy, unbroken, holding reflections so clear they seem more real than the trees themselves—paperbarks rising in pale, twisting trunks, their forms doubled and shimmering beneath the hull. As we glide on, the water takes on its faint amber hue, steeped with tea tree bark, turning the river into something medicinal and ancient. It feels therapeutic in a way that goes beyond the body, as if every stroke draws tension out of your shoulders and sends it dissolving into the current. Kookaburras burst into laughter from the treetops, their calls bold and echoing, while cicadas rise beneath them in a steady, electric hum. Together they form a living Orchestra. We came away recharged and at peace, grateful for this sojourn in total tranquility. With Robert Santry Adrienne Penny and Kim Taylor Alison Taylor Ross Barker Alice-Anne Jones
