The 2021 Census results provide a much needed update on who we are. Read our snapshot of the stats to see how our community has changed; also, as the census records 158 lone person households on our island we’re introducing a new column for Bachelors and Bachelor Girls and their funniest time saving housekeeping tips – inspired by PJ O’Rourke’s classic “The Bachelor Home Companion” (page 17).
Your July issue of the Coochie Island News is now available to view and download – Online Editions.
The print version is at Curlew Cafe, Coochiemudlo Island Beach Bar, Oasis Restaurant and Seminara Apartments, and will be at our Gym and Men’s Shed and all mainland outlets later today.
