Mr Johnsâ grandfather settled at Johns Landing beside the Noosa River 128 years ago, kicking off the familyâs guardianship which was faithfully fulfilled by Mr Johns and his best asset, wife Pat.
This idyllic Johns Landing setting on Noosa River was a magnet for hundreds of campers during the holidays.
Their love of the land and caring nature has resulted in Johns Landing being transformed from farming parcels to a favourite camping site, a safe refuge for local down-and-outs and now an environmental refuge.
âI donât own anything out there, but Iâve still got the rights to use two sheds (on site),â Mr Johns said from his retirement villa in Noosa Outlook.
