Paluma resident Wilfred Karnoll joined other adventure-seekers last Sunday (12 August) at the Outer Limits High Ropes course at Paluma. Wilfred proved to be a natural at great altitude, taking all obstacles in his stride, whether it be scaling poles, climbing nets or tackling wooden bridges high above ‘terra firma’.
Wilfred even took the ‘Leap of Faith’ which involves launching one’s self from the top of a wooden pole at great height to touch a large red buoy. This proved to be no challenge to Wilfred who accomplished the feat with ease.
Wilfred is 66 years old and he has just recently recovered from a broken foot, proving that there is no excuse for not having a go at the High Ropes course. Wilfred’s mid-air skills were so impressive, his friends and neighbours at Paluma now call him Wilfred (‘Sugar Glider’) Karnoll!
