Figure 1.1: Historic commercial oyster leases in the Noosa River Estuary. Hand-drawn chart from
1934, made by the Fisheries Inspector to highlight the areas in the Noosa River closed to net fishing.

Archives.
Historic records also show extensive shell middens present at Tewantin, Noosaville and Hays Island
(now Noosa Sound), and that substantial oyster beds occurred in Lake Weyba1. Noosa residents once
collected oysters from rock outcrops in Lake Weyba (Figure 1.2), and the extent of oysters in the lake
is thought to have been extensive1, possibly growing on low gravel beds and other hard structures that
today are buried under sediment (Simon Walker, ESP, pers com).
