The colourful mural adds to the first part of the artwork which was painted in 2021 and depicts a monitor lizard and serpent and adorns a huge wall space at the Coolum State High School canteen. Nikita who is also a mentor to other First Na ons students said it was a privilege to paint the piece which now colourfully takes pride of place in the centre of the school.

COOLUM State High School officially opened their new mural on Monday February 20 with a special ceremony to commemorate the artwork. The piece was a collaboration between Nikita Fitzpatrick from New Dreaming Art along with Ben and Dave from Rythmicolour and was funded by Coolum State High School P&C.
Principal Troy Asott when addressing the crowd which comprised local dignitaries and First Nations students, said that the brilliant piece of art sits in the heart of the school.
“It sits at the heart of our school because indigenous culture and indigenous students sit at the heart of our school.”
“Indigenous culture rep-
resents the oldest living culture on earth and this mural is a connection to that culture.”
The mural took around 35 hours to paint and is a mix of rich oranges, earthy browns, and warm yellows. The goanna and the carpet snake are traditionally indigenous wisdom holders and provide guidance for young people.
Federal MP Ted O’Brien further stated how impressive the mural is.
“Nikita, you have a gift and to the indigenous students I can’t tell you how important you are.”
Artist Nikita Fitzpatrick stated that she was honoured to have been asked to paint the mural.
“We were so excited to get invited back to extend the mural - the first part focusses on the coastline and with this
one I wanted to focus on the bush along with circles that connect everyone.”
“We all have a purpose and this shows how we are all connected – our land, our animals and us.”
Funding for the mural came from the P&C with President Nicole Sklenars extremely proud with the finished piece.
“This makes a really great statement as people walk into the school and the students just love it.”
Mr Ascott further stated the importance of the artwork for indigenous students.
“My most important message is that you and your culture are at the heart of our school. I hope that this artwork stands as a symbol of your place in our school ad that is creates connection and belonging to this place.”

BRISBANE LIONS ROAR INTO TOWN FOR SKILLS CLINIC
IT WAS a huge afternoon of AFL footy action on Monday February 6 with players from the Brisbane Lions visiting the Coolum Breakers for a meet and greet. The Coolum Beach Breakers were fortunate to host Conor McKenna, Harris Andrews and James Madden from the Brisbane Lions and it was a huge success with over 170 people in attendance.
The afternoon served as the perfect way to kick off and launch the 2023 season and featured drills, games, kicking comps and plenty of photo opportunities, and the Lions’ players passed on their passion for all things AFL to the next generation.
The Breakers would love to thank the Coolum community for making the event such a success.
“It was awesome to see everyone enjoying themselves and joining in the activities.
“Thank you all for coming down and making the afternoon such a wonderful success and thanks to all our sponsors this year and a special mention to

MOTORWAY PRAISE
Dear editor, I just could not let Robyn Deane pass comments congratulating the two recent additions to State Parliament and Premier Palaszczuk for the Sunshine Coast Motorway upgrades. Local State Liberal MP’s have been campaigning for these upgrades for years and it has fallen on deaf ears. I would remind your correspondent that the Labor Party have held power in Queensland for 29 of the past 34 years so the problems in this State are totally Labor problems. Think, the fractured health system, ambulance ramping, youth crime and the housing/rental crisis etc. etc.
The Palaszczuk Government is a crisis managing government - all are crisis of their own making. What more can you expect from a lot of beholding ex-union officials?
Peter Bayliss, Peregian Springs.
FREE PT RESPONSE
Dear editor, Dylan White’s response (Coolum Advertiser, Feb 8) to Queensland’s public transport’s inadequacy in solving fare evasion, making it free, as practical as it sounds, will deny the State Government the crucial income to finance their costly Brisbane projects. This Government is desperate for income for the 2032 Olympics and Brisbane’s still-incomplete Cross River Rail. Notice, neither projects will enhance the lives of regional Queenslanders. Fare evasion at epidemic proportions, lacks proactive action, on the Sunshine Coast in particular. The horse has bolted and the will to bring it to heel is lost. Public transport is simply free
for those who demand it. It is a big part of a sense of entitlement, which is a broader social issue. So, the Government must punish those who pay their way, punishing them even further with a CPI increase in fares each January. Our State has no free subsidised off-peak fares either, apart from Brisbane commuters. When challenged, Translink’s response to the fare evasion epidemic on the Sunshine Coast, determined warnings and infringement notices (resulting in $287 fines) have been issued over the last four financial years from 2018 to 2022. 2018 :781 warnings and 160 fines. 2019: 592warnings and 136 fines. 2020: 601 warnings and 112 fines. 2022: 225 warnings and 38 fines.
I challenge any local public transport paying-passenger or driver, to relate when they last saw a Translink inspector onboard or witnessed a fare evader being caught. Drivers are frustrated at the unconscionable lack of political will in dealing with this blatant theft of taxpayers’ money. Taxpayers are indirectly subsiding theft by omission. It makes sense for public transport to be free, as it reduces the number of vehicles on our inadequate road network. But pigs might fly!!
E.Rowe, Marcoola.
YES VOTE FOR VOICE
Dear editor, The Australian Constitution established the guiding principles of how our nation operates and that Parliament should design legislation. The presence of the indigenous people was not acknowledged.
Later this year we will have the opportunity by referendum to give our First Nations people a means of commenting on matters that affect them. The proposed Voice to Parliament will not have any legislative powers. It is simply a consultative body which hopefully will help to close the gap and improve outcomes for our First Nations people.
By saying the Voice lacks detail, a noisy few are scaremongering and playing divisive games for political self-interest. If you wish to be properly informed, have a look at https:// voice.niaa.gov.au.
By the time we go to the ballot box to vote on this history making referendum, there will be ample information out there. Please get informed and be on the right side of history and vote “yes”. It is time for recognition of our First Nations people in our Constitution.

POLITICAL SLANG
Dear editor,
Once it was “All the way with LBJ” – to Vietnam. Then the ‘Push with Bush’ into Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. Now it’s ‘Ride’n with Biden’ to ……..? Just asking?

MICHELE LIPNER
BY VANESSA BACON-HALL
EACH edition the Advertiser will take you on a journey through the life of people in our community – the characters, the notable ones and just those with an interesting backstory. This week we look at the life of Michele Lipner.
A DESIRE to help and to do good has been the underlying theme throughout the life of Peregian Springs local Michele Lipner who now uses the skills she honed whilst working in senior roles with Save the Children and the United Nations to coordinate the Sunshine Coast branch of OzHarvest.
Since 2004 OzHarvest have been fighting food waste through food rescue, education programs and sustainability work.
A native of California, formal study took Michele down the path of a PHD in sociology, not that Michele is one to drop the term ‘Dr’ and advertise this, however with this education her first posting came about as she says by simply, “being in the right place at the right time.”
“I fell into international aid and development, and this took me overseas in management roles running non-government organisations.
“I was involved in humanitarian assistance with the UN - primarily in conflict areas.”
And that very fi rst posting took Michele to the Republic of Georgia just after the fall of
Michele explains that at the core of humanitarian aid is ensuring longer term supports are in place once the immediate emergency response is over, which will ensure the longevity of people and the country.
“In Georgia I was with Save the Children US and that support was about providing medical support and training up doctors.”
Michele’s work took her to many other countries in conflict or ones considered dangerous such as Armenia, Afghanistan, and Aceh Province after the Boxing Day Tsunami.
“The scariest was actually Aceh Province after the Boxing Day Tsunami.”
Michele explains that negotiating with a war lord could be done but dealing with mother nature was un-predictable and frightening.
“Soon after I arrived the second major earthquake happened in Aceh Province and it was an 8.7 and I realised after that experience what scares me more was natural events, you know your advisory or what you are dealing with when it is in a conflict zone.”
“Afghanistan though, was the most challenging as we were trying to establish a sense of country in a place that had never been a country and continues not to be – it’s terrible to see what is continuing to happen there.”
Despite the challenges found in Afghanistan, it was here that Michele met her hus-
advisor and the couple were married two years after meeting and then went on to live in Canberra.
Michele explains that living in cold Canberra was not exactly the Australian way of living that she had envisaged and after holidaying on the Sunshine Coast a move to the region was the right thing to do and that desire to help took on a new life here on the Coast.
“We were both working remotely, and I felt that I wanted to enjoy life and for me I am someone who needs to do something and what gives me a sense of passion and purpose is to help others.”
Michele had heard of OzHarvest in Canberra and thought that it was an amazing organisation as the charity not only fed people but also saved countless tonnes of food from landfill.
“I thought that this was something I would love to do on the Sunshine Coast, and I saw that there was a definite need for the service here.”
As a one woman show to begin with the Sunshine Coast venture started in 2014 from Michele’s garage.
“We rescue quality food that might otherwise go to waste, usually fruit and veg or it could also be baked goods and frozen meat, we then donate that onwards to charities, community groups and churches and these agencies will then convert that into meals or allow that food to be taken as food hampers.”
Michele stresses that this is quality food that may have blemishes or be nearing its use by date, but all food is safe for consumption.
And as with most charity organisations, they are run by the generosity of volunteers.
“We started with three volunteers and three donors, and we were initially collecting 400kgs a month and now we have 100 volunteers, with 40 donors such as Coolum Woolworths and collect 15,000kgs of food a month.”
OzHarvest also provide cooking classes and perform school outreach via trying to teach the importance of healthy eating and environmental awareness.
And being named ‘Citizen of the Year’ Michele said that it was a huge honour to be recognised but states that it’s not the awards that makes her want to help and has this advice for anyone wondering how they too can “do good”.
“Never doubt the impact of your footprint on the world. You doing something can change someone else’s life.”

Coolum High 2022 graduate, Jemima Bainbridge, has been named as the highest achieving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student in Queensland, receiving her award from no less than the Honourable Minister for Education, Grace Grace, at an inspiring ceremony held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre last Saturday.
That’s right – a student from Coolum has been named as the highest performing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander from all schools, state and private, in Queensland!
As a proud Gungarri woman, Jemima’s respectfulness, kindness and determination have
been inspirational. Jemima is a powerful role-model and representative of her culture, who has shown all students what can be achieved with humility and focus.
To put Jemima’s achievements in context – 44 students from across the state were recognised at the QCE Awards Ceremony where Jemima received her award, representing students within the top 0.08% of all graduates. Of these, all but a very few attended schools in the Brisbane metropolitan area. Coolum State High School was one of five state schools with students receiving awards, with the others – Brisbane, Mansfield, Cavendish Road and Kenmore
State High Schools – all being metropolitan schools. This is the second straight year Coolum High has had a student recognised at these awards, following on from Kai Weith who received a Distinguished Academic Achiever Award last year. To make Jemima’s award even more special, this week Coolum High opened the brilliant indigenous mural created by the impossibly talented Nikita Newley of New Dreaming Art, that helps connect students to the indigenous heritage of our area and its magnificent landscapes and living things. What a great celebration of our indigenous students and their vibrant, living culture!
Special congratulations go out to Jemima on winning this pinnacle award, and to Nikita for creating such a magnificent work of art and connection in our school.

A look back in time FRANCES
A DIFFERENT PLACE TO LIVE!
IN 1946, when my late father-in-law, Alec Windolf, brought his family to live on a farm adjoining Coolum Creek wharf, there were many elderly north-shore men who had led interesting lives, virtually as beachcombers. One of these, Hans Boysen was so notable in the Mudjimba area that an avenue of fine homes now bears his name.
Hans, however, had a much more unusual - and much less salubrious – home. He never built himself a hut to live in, or even a roughly built humpy, but instead became a master recycler. His home was fashioned from an old ship’s boiler which had washed up on the shore and lay there, rusting away. He believed that the plentiful coffee-rock surrounding his unusual home hid a source of oil, and he set up a hand-operated drilling rig which he used to drill behind the sand hills in an effort to prove the truth of his theory. Because Hans was German by birth, he attracted a lot of gossip during the second World War. Many people thought that he was a spy, trying to cover his nefarious acts of contacting enemy vessels through his oildrilling activities. However, there was no evidence that this was so, and Hans was allowed to remain at the site throughout the war, without being interned, as many other Germans were. It was said that he was under surveillance during this time, although that theory has never been proved. The nearest accessible police stations were at Nambour and Tewantin [there was certainly no easy access to Maroochydore at that time] and police officers would have had a rough journey of several hours each way to reach his camp, on foot as there were no trafficable roads along the coast. My father-in-law [whose German ancestors had come to Australia more than seventy years before that time and spoke no German] met and talked with Hans occasionally when searching for cattle that had wandered from the part of the family farm, across the northern end of today’s airport land.
By 1947 Hans apparently
realized that his search for “Black Gold” was futile. He loaded all his worldly possessions
Oriental Yoga Chi Gung For Everyone
Yes, you can do the Oriental Yoga Chi Gung! Realise that you are more than enough just as you are.
I started the practice around 23 years ago and have been teaching for 15 years. Now in my 70th year I still see it as a great way to deal with the stresses and strains of the modern life.
The practice is a great gift and late summer is upon us, with its hot, humid weather. As we are working with Nature we are in tune with the seasons. The focus is on the Stomach and the Spleen in in this season.
Late Summer begins in February and runs through to the Equinox on Monday, 20 March. Nature is undergoing its last burst of growth before harvest time. This time is important for self-nurturing and self-cultivating the body, mind and spirit. If your Stomach and Spleen are harmonising with the energies of Late Summer, your digestive system will be feeling more balanced.
Think about all that we ask our bodies to digest—foods that we eat, things that we see or hear, and emotions that we feel and experience. I will adapt the practice to your body as we perform a slow body friendly flow.

TURTLE TRACKS AND MOVEMENTS AVAILABLE IN REAL TIME
THE MOVEMENTS of two critically endangered loggerhead turtles that nested on coast beaches last December can now be followed via trackers which were installed on the turtles.
The turtles have now left our region and are migrating home and both ‘First Lady’ and ‘Bullumby’ can be monitored online via council’s website by searching ‘tracking turtles’.
Sunshine Coast Council’s TurtleCare Conservation Officer Kate Hofmeister said excitement was high within Sunshine Coast TurtleCare, with volunteers keeping a close eye on the turtles’ migration movements.
“After laying her nest at Buddina, First Lady (identified on the map as 236574) spent her inter-nesting period in the near-shore environment off the east coast of Bribie Island before returning to Buddina to lay her last clutch for the season,” Mrs Hofmeister said.
“She then made her way around Cape Moreton to the southeast coast of Malgumpin (Moreton Island).
“We believe this is her home – First Lady regularly returns to a central location and embarks on what could be foraging trips nearby.
The second turtle to be tracked, Bullumby which means “beautiful one’’, was named by Kabi Kabi Lore/ Law Woman and TurtleCare citizen scientist Bridgette Chilli and is identified on the map as 133768. Mrs Hofmeister said Bullumby appeared to live further
afield.
“After laying her final clutch for the season, she followed the coastline north past the top of K’gari (Fraser Island) and has now headed north-east, into the Coral Sea,” Mrs Hofmeister said.
“She could potentially travel up to 2700km back to her feeding grounds and home.
“We are excited to further unlock the mystery of our Sunshine Coast nesting turtles.”
The GPS satellite tags are attached to the back of each turtle and send through highly accurate GPS data on the latitude and longitude location when it surfaces for a breath.
This data is downloaded into the Wildlife Computers Portal and accessed by Queensland Government and Council.
The trackers are expected to work for approximately six months.
How you can help these precious creatures
• Report turtle tracks, new nests and emerging hatchlings to our Turtle Care hotline or Coolum and North Shore Coast Care.
• For sightings on the southern end of the coast call 0437 559 067 and for sightings from Mooloolaba north call Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0478 435 377.
• Switch off your outside lights from 8pm as light pollution disorientates turtles and hatchlings
• Make sure you take your rubbish with you from the beach, so the turtles have a clean environment to lay their eggs in.
• Our TurtleCare volunteers are highly trained citizen scientists who are making an incredible contribution to the ongoing survival of critically endangered turtles by monitoring nesting mothers, relocating nests if necessary for hatchling survival, and providing essential data to support the protection of these majestic animal.
All TurtleCare activities are conducted under Queensland Turtle Conservation Project permits.
Mrs Hofmeister said while it was fascinating to find out where these turtles called ‘home’ at the end of nesting season, the GPS tracking device also told an important story locally as we looked to preserve our Blue Biosphere and help the species recover.
“Our Blue Biosphere is the first 5km offshore,” Mrs Hofmeister said.
“Since the 1970s, loggerhead turtles nesting along the Queensland coastline have decreased by almost 90 per cent due to a number of threats.
“This makes every nest and every egg critical to the ongoing survival and recovery of this critically endangered population.
“This valuable insight into turtle movements helps us to better understand and protect their habitats – with an ultimate goal to support their populations to recover.”

REVOCATION OF SECTION OF MT COOLUM NATIONAL PARK
THERE’S been commentary in the media about a revocation of a section of Mt Coolum National Park for flood works as part of the airport expansion. This sounded like there were new works, but this is not the case.
I’ve checked this with Council and it’s been confirmed that there are no new flood works – these are the works already put in place as part of the airport expansion. The revocation of park where the flood bund is (near North Marcoola), is to allow access for council workers to maintain the drains and bund as part of the ongoing maintenance of the storm water and DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

Observations
TONY GIBSON
A MARCOOLA RESIDENT WHO IS ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
GRATITUDE AND HOPE
I RECENTLY was asked by the Dulong Quarry Action Group to be a volunteer mc/ facilitator for a community meeting with the Council and State Government representatives. The Kureelpa and Dulong communities live on a relatively peaceful plateau only a 20 minute drive from the coast. The community’s peaceful setting is potentially to be further disrupted by the Council decision to explore outsourcing the quarry to the private sector.
The outsourcing is the familiar story not unlike the Sunshine Coast Council Airport decision to lease to a private operator. This was identified by Council representatives as a success. I think maybe the communities
haven’t had enough, but still the State Government found over $200 million to waste on the Wellcamp White Elephant and they can’t say how much their re-envisioned “Gabba” project will finally cost.
This is on top of budget blowouts of over $6 billion on projects, including cross river rail, which could have built 3 hospitals the size of Sunshine Coast University Hospital, plus the Premier’s personal team of over 30 media spinners.
One of my roles as Shadow Finance Minister and Better Regulation is to help identify government waste and recommend better ways of spending it on the services Queenslanders and build our economy. Your feedback is critical. Let me know your ideas about how to cut waste and focus State Government spending on the services and infrastructure our community and State need. Just email me care of the office at maroochydore@parliament.qld. gov.au.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we work to restore law and order in Queensland and cut the cost of living for Queenslanders.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can be of assistance with.
The community meeting at the Kureelpa Hall attracted 200 very concerned residents. The issue of explosive blasts and safety, more quarry trucks on rural roads and impact on the environment were some of the many concerns with expanded operations and a private operator. The outcomes the community sought related to the lack of community engagement, provision of information and collaborative processes which would allow community participation. The community questions were put to the local and state government representatives at the meeting and it appears there is hope of favourable responses.
Like many of you we received our rates notice from Council with the “2022 State of Our Region” brochure from Council telling of their achievements and looking forward challenges. It is “our “ Council and I would like to express my gratitude that we are doing okay. Action on issues like climate change, the natural environment, social housing, first nations people’s rights, new sporting facilities, improved public transport and the planning scheme are urgently needed. There are lots of issues including rural communities requiring 100s of kilometres of rural roads to be sealed.
Thanks for the brochures, however I could show even more gratitude if “our” Council would work in a more collaborative and cooperative way being transparent, accountable and honest in its dealings with the community. The community needs hope and delivery from “our” Council for the level of gratitude to increase. Enjoy.
