The Nic Nak Shed
Coordinator Dee Walker

In the mood for a bargain drop into our World Famous Nic Nak shed, where you will find bargains galore and enjoy a chat with Dee and all her friendly staff.

The Nic Nak is a secondhand recycling shed.  Pre-loved clothes and goods are sold to members of our community at very reasonable prices.  Through the material aid program items are given to families to assist them in times of difficulty.

Goods for sale include items such as books, bikes, furniture, baby items, clothing, CDs, electrical goods, bedding etc.

  DONATIONS ACCEPTED AT ANY TIME.

Nic Nak is on the move - see article below about our new innovative
 'Sweet Charity' bus.

VOLUNTEERS ARE UNPAID
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE WORTHLESS
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE PRICELESS

Sweet Charity

A converted school bus named Sweet Charity is revving to hit the streets of the Douglas region, selling quality pre-loved clothes & accessories.  Coordinator Dee Walker said community support by way of clothing donations has been overwhelming.  "We get a lot of designer labels like Morrissey, Calvin Klein & Charlie Brown.  The bus will have the best of our donations, designer clothes, shoes & accessories". 
To get Sweet Charity ready for trading at the Sunday Port Douglas Markets by the end of April 2008, Ms Walker is seeking volunteers to assist with airconditiong and flooring for the bus.  Certified volunteer drivers are also required.

Hi, I’m Cathy, and this is a little info of my life. I was born in Wingham N.S.W, many moons ago. Later I moved to Roma South West Queensland with my mum, brother and sister, and now I’m in Port Douglas and loving it.

I have two beautiful adult children, who I’m very proud of and who have been my greatest teachers, and who still keep me on track and grounded.

Throughout my life I’ve done volunteer work, and am now a volunteer with Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre, and enjoy working with brilliant women from this area. We are a great and happy team. I have a great time here.

Qualifications – Reiki Master Practitioner. T.F.T. & Sound Healing. All of which are beautiful, gentle treatments with no side effects, and you get to keep your gear on.

I’m thankful for my life, and experiences for I would not have met so many wonderful people.
