An old PPrune post provides some interesting material that references a resource now gone :

At one stage the launch transfers to the islands had flight numbers, even got QFF points in 2002 for a trip on the boat LOL

I remember sometime in the mid 80s i flew on a Sunstate Twin Otter routed Brisbane Maroochydore Noosa Heads Brisbane.
The airstrip at Noosa is still there located on the shores of Lake Weyba. Not used for RPT flights anymore as far as I know.
