LOCATION
Cabarita Beach is the locality name, taken
from a housing estate development in the 1960's, but the original,
and postal name for this pretty little town with a poppulation of 1700, is
Bogangar, a native Aboriginal word meaning 'place of many pippies', which refers
to the ancient ceremonial shell middens in the area.
Cabarita has only limited
development due to large areas of protected wetlands, creating a quiet, relaxed
holiday atmosphere where the main activities are surfing (with a long right hand
point break), swimming, beach and estuary fishing and canoeing. The shopping
centre is small, but well-equipped. Lake Cudgen, around behind the Cabarita Ski
Gardens site is a particularly good area for children and families enjoying
boating as the water is only about 1.2m deep at most, and there are water
tractors, canoes and catamarans for hire. Norries Headland is a particularly
scenic spot for taking in views of Diamond Beach, and the walk around the
headland is very popular.
Pottsville Beach is to the south of
Cabarita Beach and whats offered is more surf and goldern beaches ideal
for swimming and water sports.
IN APPRECIATION
In
recognition of the contribution of the Lions Clubs of Turkey, especially Lion
Dr. Enzar Tore, in providing free web page hosting for Lions Clubs everywhere,

As an extension to the Turkish
Lions' contribution, the Brisbane Ekibin Lions Club of MD 201 Q1 (Australia)
offer assistance to Lions Clubs who want to take advantage of the Turkish Lions
offer, but are not familiar with web publishing. They've already set up many
sites for Lions Clubs world-wide, using Lionwap.
If your club wants to be on the internet, and would like some help, leave a
message in the Ekibin Guest Book by clicking on the image above. This is a FREE
SERVICE, so you don't spend a cent for their work. As Lionwap is also FREE, this
means you get a web site that you NEVER have to pay for. - Is that a deal or
what?
All your Club has to do it have some-one update and maintain your page, which
needs not take more than a few minutes each month. The Ekibin Lions will even
give you some tips on that!
