All those kids camping out with their families along the Noosa River hereâs the latest bulletin from Coast Guard Noosa â never fear Santa is here.
And tomorrow morning he and Mrs Claus will be doing their fabulous river run handing out free lollies in a Coast Guard tradition that can be traced back to the 1990s under legendary flotilla commander Bill Asmar.
Modern day commander Ian Hutchins confirmed that Santa has been deemed an essential worker in Noosa this Christmas and with his overseas connections may have even had his COVID-19 vaccine shot.
âSantaâs going to be leaving here at Munna Point on Sunday, at 10.30am and heâll be proceeding to the Noosa Marina,â Mr Hutchins said.

Noosa Bespoke Charters with Wally Boor at the helm is headed in luxury chartered waters. He was looking to upgrade his fishing charter boat when the beguiling possibilities presented by Medusa convinced him to take a new business tack. Medusa was doing luxury charter work in Sydney the last few years, and that started my mind ticking, Mr Boor said. Our emphasis into the future will be down this path, we ve stuck our toe in the water to see what the response was and it was amazing really, he said.
