ABOUT THIS ITEM

Additional InformationCelebrations, sailing contests and other water sport competitions had been held on Lake Cootharaba and the Noosa River since the 1870s but became a regular feature of the river communities in the middle of the 20th Century. On New Year’s Day in 1949 an aquatic sports day on the river in front of Gympie Terrace was well attended. In 1952 a power boat competition was held on New Year’s Day and this soon became a regular event. By the early 1960s this had grown into the Festival of Waters and has continued in various formats for many years.
