This is the Koala Urangan Sunday Markets "HOME PAGE"

For those who may not be familiar with the Koala Social and Sporting Club Inc. here are some enlightening facts. 

 

In 1988 the Koala Social Club took over from the Black Buety Social Club and formed a new committee under the guidance of Don McKenzie, as President, and John O'Connell as Treasurer. We then named the Club, adopted the colours of gold and green and recruited new members, many of whom are still with us. with the assistance and support from The Koala Corporation, who had only then taken over The Melanasia Hotel and Resort, as well as the local Police, The Hervey Bay City Council and the Justice Department we proceeded to register the Club and obtain appropriate permits and licences to operate The Kondari Flea Market on the corner of Kruger Court and Booral Road, Urangan, Hervey Bay Qld. Australia.

 

In the market's early days we had a roll up of some twenty to thirty stalls along with co-ordinating raffles. Then we thought we were busy! Now the Club boasts some 230 up to 285 stalls at peak times. Now we know we are busy!

On Right One of the very first Food Stalls used by the Club

It was at this point that the Club had food vans built to health regulations and registered and proceeded to run the markets.

The market runs every 2nd, 4th and 5th (where applicable) Sundays of the month. The Club has a membership of 65 people with a consistent core working crew of around sixteen. The work for market day organisers commences at around 4am with certainly no lack of jobs: Vans to set up, tarps to erect, signs to put out, tables and chairs placed, eskies to stock, rubbish bins strategically placed around the grounds. Following this is the allocation of sites to the casual stall holders, then off to bring down our two cold rooms and, thanks to Urangan Fisheries, pick up extra ice. There's also the behind-the-scenes chores as well as the ladies doing the shopping and preparing from Thursday on. Of course, there is the never ending job of mowing and maintaining the grounds and site areas having to be marked out for every market day.

 

Obviously there's a lot involved in organising a market but the overall satisfaction of helping those who need and appreciate the Club's assistance makes it all worthwhile. When the time comes to assess who our donations go to for the week, the urgent, needy ones get first preference.

As with all clubs they have to make do with what they have but looking ahead has now guaranteed The Koala Social & Sporting Club new premises. The house and land that the Club has leased, with the option to buy, at 6 Florence Street, Urangan already has a live-in caretaker with security fencing and lighting completed. The premises were in serious need of attention and after a $4,000 refit, such as painting, power testing, mowing, fencing and gates, the Club now has a well cared for location. Thanks to Lowie's Signs, the sign writing and Club emblem on the house and vans is also completed.

Koala Social Club's yearly donations!

The total donations from 1st September 1988 to 31st August 1998 were $180,227.00 plus $20,000.00 for 1998/1999 making a grand total of over $200,000.00. It must be taken into account that in the first year from the taking was an amount of around $10,000.00 used to pay the debt left The Black Buety Club. We were assisted by The Koala Corporation with a $4,000.00 donation. Not included are the "donations made" for the 1999 - 2000 period.

To this date: 22nd August 2006, the Koala Club has donated just under
