This article appeared in today's Hervey Bay Independent Newspaper... The full article can be found online here: http://theindy.com.a...revive-tourism/ As a local I will endeavour to bring any updates as they come to hand. The backlash from the NIMBY lot as well as local Indigenous elders has already started, but with a council keen to boost local tourism this could go ahead. The 1 year deadline seems a little ambitious though. For the record the proposed site is an abandoned caravan park so claims of cultural significance or wildlife preservation that have been made this morning are nonsense. Fingers crossed common sense prevails as the area badly needs an attraction like this.

I'm glad Parkz Updates aren't on Instagram.

I'm pretty sure a $1 million attraction was suggested in a news article? A million is easily enough to buy a decent flat ride, then they could consider a coaster for 2014/2015. Aussie World is doing well, so a couple of large attractions isn't out of the equation, especially considering their recent additions - nobody expected 4 new family attractions for 2011 and 2012.
