From the editor

OUR STORY O M Weekly Preview is a My h high-quality magazine de delivering more of what matters to the Sunshine Coa It features news, Coast. busine business, regular columnists, iinteresting facts and figures for that hot topic at the dinner table, motoring, socials, travel, health, lifestyles and more, as well as the most up-to-date information on local real estate. The magazine is 100% locally owned, which means we don’t just talk about being local, we are local, we live it every day. Delivered fresh every Thursday. We’re also conscious of the environment at MWP – all our home delivered magazines are wrapped in biodegradable plastic.

Please dispose of this magazine responsibly, by recycling after use.

This week our front cover, in so many ways, depicts the Sunshine Coast – the fresh natural food, blue skies, and sparkling ocean – the elements that provide the beautiful background for a relaxed coastal lifestyle.

In turn, this area has attracted a host of creative people who have set up a diverse range of top-class eateries to reflect and cater for our tastes. If you would like to check out some of these venues, go to pages 28 and 29.

For me, one of the highlights of journalism is selecting and writing a feature story. It gives you the chance to meet people who are often taking the road less travelled to challenge, create or enrich our community. This week, I have spoken with orthopedic surgeon Dr Daevyd Rodda and physiotherapist Andrew Duff, who have kicked off the Sporting Chance Foundation

– an organisation that is providing medical treatments for Indigenous athletes suffering from sports injuries. In essence, it is about supporting these athletes so they, in turn can inspire their communities. It’s also an authentic account of paying it forward.

Another long weekend is approaching, so if you are wondering what to do, we have plenty of events in our What’s On section to make your choice. Together with this, we have an education and NDIS feature. These features are full of practical information to support your decision making.

Our reporter Caitlin Zerafa has been busy recording the stories of people and places and in our sports section, you can also read about some of the lifesavers who have won at The Aussies. I hope you enjoy the read.

AGENDA USE, RECYCLE, REPEAT Both the Dragon capsule and Falcon rocket for this mission have soared once before. The capsule launched the first SpaceX crew last May, while the rocket hoisted the second set of astronauts, who are still at the space station. For SpaceX, recycling is key to space exploration, Mr Reed says, lowering costs, increasing flights and destinations, and allowing more kinds of people to jump on board.

Each capsule is designed to launch at least five times with a crew. SpaceX and NASA are assessing how many times a Falcon can safely launch astronauts.

For satellites, Falcons can be used for 10 flights. The company uses the same kind of rocket and similar capsules for station supply runs, and recycles those, too.

The SpaceX factor NASA teams up with private company SpaceX, using a recycled rocket and capsule for its latest adventure into space.

F

or the first time, NASA is putting its trust in a recycled SpaceX rocket and capsule for a crew.

Astronaut Megan McArthur takes special pleasure in the reused spacecraft, which planned to soar last week. In a fun twist, she was due to sit in the same seat in the same capsule that her husband, Bob Behnken, did last spring for a test flight to the International Space Station.

“It’s kind of a fun thing that we can share. I can see him and say, ‘Hey, can you hand over the keys. I’m ready now to go,” Ms McArthur said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

While their seven-year-old son, Theo, is becoming a pro at parent launches, Ms McArthur said “he’s not super excited”

about her being gone for six months. That’s how long she and her three crewmates will spend at the space station.

All going well, this will be SpaceX’s third crew flight for NASA from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center in less than a year.

The commercial flights ended the US’s reliance on Russian rockets launched from Kazakhstan to get astronauts to and from the space station after the shuttles retired.

SpaceX’s Benji Reed says the private company has already put six people in space – that’s as many as NASA’s Project Mercury did back in the early 1960s when it launched the first Americans.

The upcoming flight will boost that number to 10. Some highlights of the SpaceX flight include:

US-FRENCH-JAPANESE CREW This is the most internationally diverse crew yet for SpaceX. NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough, a retired Army colonel, is the spacecraft commander, with Ms McArthur, an oceanographer, as his pilot. Thomas Pesquet, a former Air France pilot, is representing the European Space Agency.

Engineer Akihiko Hoshide has worked for the Japanese Space Agency for nearly 30 years and helped build the space station.

All but Ms McArthur have already visited the 420-kilometre-high outpost. But she’s ventured 160 kilometres higher on the space shuttle, taking part in NASA’s final Hubble Space Telescope mission in 2009.

The four have started a new recycledrocket tradition for SpaceX crews, writing their initials in the soot of their booster.

BON APPETIT With French and Japanese astronauts flying together, dining promises to reach new heights. Mr Hoshide is taking up curry and rice, as well as canned fish and yakitori – grilled and skewered chicken – but no

sushi. Mr Pesquet had a Michelin-starred chef whip up some French delicacies: beef with red wine and mushroom sauce, truffled potato and onion tart, and almond tart with caramelised pears. There are also crepes suzette. Mr Pesquet says he has had “some national pressure” to fly French cuisine. His crewmates also had high expectations: “Okay, we’re flying with a Frenchman, it better be good.”

COMING & GOING Five days after this crew’s arrival at the space station, the one Japanese and three US astronauts who have been up there since November will strap into their SpaceX capsule to come home. NASA wants some time in orbit between the two crews, so the newcomers can benefit from their colleagues’ experience up there.

SpaceX is targeting an April 28 splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. The company is already conferring with the Coast Guard to prevent pleasure boats from swarming the area like they did for the first SpaceX crew’s splashdown in August. More Coast Guard ships will be on patrol this time.

SPACE ‘SEXY’ AGAIN As Mr Pesquet sees it, the US and European space agencies may be cool, but SpaceX is even cooler. “They’ve done a really good job, I think, making human spaceflight sexy again. Sometimes people don’t like me saying that, but that’s kind of the truth. And it’s not that easy,” he says.

Take the white-with-black-trim SpaceX spacesuits, which are colour co-ordinated with the rocket, capsule and gull-winged Teslas used to transport astronauts to the launch pad. Looking good is important for SpaceX, Mr Pesquet notes, and “it’s a reasonable price to pay” to get the public enthusiastic about space travel.

FEATURE STORY

Andrew Duff (far right) meeting young players while on tour

Paying it forward To mark Pay It Forward Day on April 28, we talk to local medics making a difference in the lives of Indigenous children. WORDS: Gail Forrer.

F

rom little things big things grow.

In this case, it took a couple of mates, having a bit of a chinwag over a few beers and feeling grateful for the success they had found in their own careers, to wonder how they could ‘pay if forward’.

At first, the Sunshine Coast pair, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Daevyd Rodda and physiotherapist Andrew Duff, considered doing something overseas.

“Then we decided to look in our own backyard,” Mr Duff says.

That decision sowed the seed that grew into the Sporting Chance Foundation – a not-for-profit organisation established in 2018 to create meaningful and enduring change within the Indigenous community. Their idea is to help aspiring athletes suffering serious sporting injuries, realise their full potential through connecting them with

appropriate medical treatment.

Just two weeks ago, 18-year-old Willow Wells of Townsville was in the Sunshine Coast University Hospital undergoing two shoulder operations.

The teenager, with dreams of becoming of champion boxer, was sparring with her twin brother when she sustained serious shoulder damage.

Without the operation that removed a shard of broken bone and another operation that included the implant of a metal plate and two screws, Willow’s dream would have been over. Now, she is looking at a four-to-six-month recuperation period, and a sporting career, again made possible.

The operation by Dr Shane Blackmore, accommodation and travel were all made possible through the Sporting Chance Foundation.

Willow’s mother, Lisa McKellar says

she was overwhelmed at the welcoming and understanding of everyone who made the operation happen.

“As an aboriginal mother – the understanding of family and culture was amazing.”

“It just felt like my own family was organising everything, it all went so smoothly,” she says.

Willow’s grandparents made a 1600-kilometre round trip from Cunnamulla to the Sunshine Coast and they too were looked after and made comfortable.

“I haven’t really got words for how good this was,” Ms McKellar says.

Andrew Duff has a background in rugby union and in 2019 his connection with former Australian sevens assistant and current First Nations rugby manager at Rugby Australia, Jason Hodges, saw him join a 4500-kilometre tour to

identify future First Nations rugby sevens players around the country. The tour included dropping into places such as Orange, Alice Springs and Coober Pedy to spend time, have a chat and do training drills with Indigenous players.

The experience encompassed a diverse range of situations.

“In Alice Springs we played rugby union with inmates at the youth and men’s detention centre,” he explains.

Mr Duff revelled in the experience and it further convinced him of the importance of making appropriate medical treatment available to the people who needed it.

Since beginning the program the foundation has provided surgical care, hospital stays and accommodation in locations including Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital as well as St Vincents and Cabrini Hospital in myweeklypreview.com.au

FEATURE STORY

Willow Wells with red helmet sparring in the boxing ring

The artwork in the Sporting Chance Foundation’s logo is focused around the power of potential for an individual and the impact they have on others.

The semi-circular shapes represent the ripple effect of positivity from one person to another, sporting peers and community people coming together, a place of belonging for all. The founders wanted these shapes to represent the vision of ‘aspiring athletes aspiring their communities’ and a focus on the people.

The inner circles that surround the individual represent a meeting place and a safe place. There is a focus on collaboration, embracing teamwork when people and groups come together, and it signifies the power of sport as a positive tool for engagement.

The boomerangs depict ‘coming/or giving back’ support for sporting peers and family. As we give to the community, we hope our athletes will engage as leaders and continue to do the same.

The circles around the outside reflect strength and a sense of protection – the Sporting Chance Foundation.

By incorporating the red, yellow and black colours as those portrayed in the Australian Aboriginal flag, the Foundation wishes to acknowledge the journey and all who play a role.

The logo was created by Karen Seage, a proud Quandamooka woman of the Nunukul mob from Minjerribah of North Stradbroke Island.

Karen works for a Logan-based creative agency that is a proudly Aboriginal business with an active Indigenous employment policy and a strong commitment to employ from the local Logan community.

Karen came back with several design options and they took these to the community for feedback. They spoke to a range of people from First Nation’s communities, including aspiring athletes to Elders and received great feedback.

Melbourne. Rehabilitation from physiotherapists has come from around Australia including locations in Townsville, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and included remote telehealth consults for those more isolated recipients.

In particular, the Sporting Chance directors wanted to say a special thank you to Ramsey Health and Medacta Corporate orthopaedic company, who has made major financial contributions. On the organisational side, they also wanted to thank Rebecca Adams for her assistance and Melanie Jacobson from MJJ Accountants, who handles the financials. Dr Rodda praises the co-operation of surgeons, physiotherapists, allied health professionals and hospitals.

These professionals understand that a sporting injury such as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture of the knee during adolescence can significantly impact a promising career, particularly if the athlete doesn’t have private health insurance or is unable to access timely specialist medical care.

“The whole episode of care can cost well in excess of $10,000,” he says.

At Cabrini hospital, two young Queensland Indigenous female rugby players, 16-year-old Genesis Ngeru and 14-year-old Stevie Smith, received treatment from surgeons Mr Scott Tulloch and Mr Rodda.

Mr Tulloch says he became involved in the program because he saw value in supporting these athletes return to the sporting field, because treatment not only helped physically, but could also take a toll on mental health.

Getting the word out about Sporting Chance has involved both old and new communication methods. On the one hand Jeremy Chen, a specialist in digital and event marketing is helping to build the foundations’ profile and corporate partnerships.

As a cyclist and runner, he has experienced multiple knee injuries and is pleased to be able to assist young aspiring athletes on their road to recovery.

On the other hand, Mr Duff, says he has come to understand the power of the ‘bush telegraph’.

“Word of mouth is a powerful communication in the Indigenous community,” he says. “And it is often related through tribal elders.”

Dr Rodda says the foundations’ current resources allow them to undertake about 12 operations per year.

It’s a big undertaking, including finding companies and people willing to donate their services such as accommodation, flights and administration.

THE SUNSHINE COAST BUSINESS AWARDS ANNOUNCE RETURN The Sunshine Coast Business Awards are back in 2021 and will be a celebration like no other this year, following one of the most challenging business years in living memory.

While the region has fared better than most, the COVID-19 pandemic definitely took its toll on many businesses, including causing the cancellation of the 2020 awards.

The region’s most prestigious awards will be officially launched at the Small Business Month Breakfast on Thursday, May 20.

Sunshine Coast Business Awards chair Jennifer Swaine says in a first for the Awards, a naming sponsor has come on board – LPE. “The Awards are reliant on sponsorships to ensure we can deliver the program throughout the year, leading to our Gala Awards Celebration in November, and we are delighted with the support of all our sponsors this year, including the addition of naming sponsor, LPE. “LPE was founded on the Sunshine Coast and has its headquarters in the new CBD. In providing electricity to residential and businesses across Queensland, they support the regions in which they operate.

The 2021 Sunshine Coast Business Awards are now open for nominations.

To find out more about the award, visit sunshinecoastbusinessawards.com.au. To buy tickets to the Small Business Month Breakfast and Sunshine Coast Business Awards Launch go to trybooking.com and search ‘small business month breakfast’.

BUSINESS & FINANCE

Justin Scattini, Ord Minnett Buderim.

INVESTING IN A GREEN FUTURE Real action on climate change policy has taken centre stage in recent times and has been given a greater sense of urgency with the new administration in the White House.

At the time of writing, we are awaiting the outcome of the summit of 40 world leaders.

The expectation is that we will see further pledges from participating countries to reduce their carbon emissions further over the coming decade, with the goal of having zero net emissions by 2050.

So, what will need to happen for the world to reach the 2050 zero target? The short answer is A LOT. The international effort required will need to be monumental. Currently, the world adds about 51 billion tons of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere each year. The main sources of these emissions are

manufacturing, electricity, agriculture, transportation and buildings.

The Biden administration recently announced its intention to invest US$174 billion to help drive the transition to electric vehicles. The Australian government has pledged to spend $540 million for the domestic development of hydrogen production and the development of carbon capture and storage. They have also pledged a further $566 million for international partnerships to help commercialise low emissions technologies.

Announcements like these are likely to become commonplace in the future.

As an investor, these changes cannot be ignored. It is not a matter of whether you are an environmental activist or not. It is clear there will be a lot of disruption taking place, which will create exciting opportunities for investors. Those companies that provide cost effective solutions to the problem will become massive winners and provide outsized returns for their shareholders. Those that do not will likely be left behind.

COUNCIL’S PLANNED BURNS HOPS AND HORSES TWILIGHT EVENT The Sunshine Coast Turf Club is planning for a bumper crowd to welcome in the Labour Day long weekend at this year’s Hops and Horses Friday Twilight Races. SCTC CEO John Miller says the event will include a mix of Friday twilight racing, local craft brewers, food trucks and live music. “We expect this event will once again prove popular with locals and visitors enjoying the relaxed atmosphere on the Friday leading into the Labour Day long weekend. This year we are turning it up a notch with live entertainment from Boom Crash Opera’s Dale Ryder and Taxiride’s Jason Singh performing after the last race. The feeling is we have the right mix with the craft brewers, food trucks along with live music to create a special event that will become a permanent fixture on the calendar.” The event is happening on April 30.

Sunshine Coast Council’s annual planned burn season will begin this month, with seven sites across the Coast earmarked for treatment.

Landsborough, Mount Mellum, Palmview, Mountain Creek, Little Mountain, Caloundra West and Alexandra Headland will undergo planned burns before September, if conditions are suitable. “Planned burns help reduce the amount of forest fuel in targeted locations before the spring bushfire season, and take place in the cooler months so the fires are less intense and more manageable compared to a potential unplanned bushfire,” Councillor Peter Cox says.

Nearby residents will be notified about planned burns with a letter. Updates can be found on the council’s Facebook page or search ‘Bushfire Management’ on the council’s website.

With the federal government set to deliver the next budget in a matter of weeks, Sunshine Coast Council and stadium supporters are hopeful it will include funding for the $68 million Sunshine Coast Stadium Expansion project. The expansion project has already secured $20 million from the state government, $11 million from philanthropists and $17 million from the council. The council is hopeful of securing the federal funding to ensure the growing region does not miss out on hosting key events. “If we miss out on this federal government funding, it puts the project at risk and then the whole region misses out,” former rugby league player Billy Moore says.

BANJO’S PIE COMPETITION IS OPEN Banjo’s Bakery Cafe is on the hunt for Australia’s first Pie Minister in a bid to crown one local pie enthusiast with a year’s worth of pies and title to boast about.

REVIEW

$61.5 MILLION

The Queensland economy’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continues with the state government unveiling a fourth round of the successful Made in Queensland grants program. Minister for Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water Glenn Butcher says the $61.5 million program is helping small and medium manufacturers transform their businesses and create jobs.

Yandina-based Epicurean Products received more than $514,000 in 2017 to introduce improved systems and help the business to design and manufacture more innovative products. “The Made in Queensland program allowed us to invest in production technology that has made us the leading partner in our field for a number of national retailers,” Epicurean’s managing director Tim Spence Thomas says.

MP Fiona Simpson has released a song for Anzac Day, with the music written by Tanya-Maree McFadyen-Bandera

MP RELEASES ANZAC DAY SONG A song from the heart written during last year’s COVID lockdown by Maroochydore MP Fiona Simpson has been professionally recorded and released. Titled Lest We Forget, the song was co-written by Ms Simpson when last year’s Anzac Day gatherings were banned and locals instead paid tribute standing in their driveways at dawn. Ms Simpson wrote the lyrics and fellow Sunshine Coast singer Tanya Maree McFadyen-Bandera wrote the music before it was roughly filmed in a corner of a school music room on a laptop and uploaded to YouTube. The song has now been professionally recorded with the help of producer Andrew Ironside and Glasshouse Studios and was released in time for April 25. Ms Simpson’s office has a limited number of CDs to give away along with Australian flags in honour of Anzac Day or people can listen on her YouTube channel, Fiona Simpson MP. The song will eventually be available on music distribution platforms as well.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY TARGETED

ROYAL COMMISSION GIVES VETERANS A VOICE

A recent operation targeting motorcycle safety in the Sunshine Coast hinterland has shown dangerous riding behaviour continues to be an issue, with police intercepting multiple riders.

Eleven traffic infringement notices were issued to motorcyclists for crossing the double white lines, in most cases performing manoeuvres to overtake vehicles, while two riders were detected travelling 150 kilometres in an 80 zone. Officer in Charge of Nambour Road Policing Unit, Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho, says the behaviour is especially disappointing in light of the high number of motorcycle fatalities on the states’ roads this year.

The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, established recently by the federal government, will give Sunshine Coast veterans and their families the chance to tell their stories. “It is a tragedy that we have lost more veterans to suicide in the past 20 years than we have to combat in two decades of conflict in Afghanistan,” Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says.

“This Royal Commission will be opportunity for veterans and their families on the Sunshine Coast and all over Australia to tell their stories, and help us to turn around this devastating statistic.” myweeklypreview.com.au

WOMEN HELPING WOMEN The Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network has gone from strength to strength since its origins in 1992.

I

n January 1992, Bebe Mawer gathered a group of women around her kitchen table with a solid aim in mind – to create a business-focused group for women.

With the assistance of Sheryl Wendt, June Phillips, June Passmore, Marilyn Manning and Marion McCormack, Women in the Workforce (WIW) was born.

They didn’t know it at the time, but this was the beginning of a network that would go on to support, inspire, mentor and educate thousands of women.

Inspired by the success of the Cairns Business Club, Ms Mawer had founded while living in North Queensland, they set about building up membership numbers by hosting regular luncheons at the Boolarong Hotel in Alexandra Headland.

Having moved to the Sunshine Coast to take on the role of marketing manager at the Kawana Shoppingworld, Ms Mawer says she was looking for connection to other businesswomen outside of the shopping centre environment.

Their first meeting attracted nine women, their second saw 15 women show up and the growth continued as the word

myweeklypreview.com.au

19.indd 1

got around.

Professional women and women who were looking to re-enter the workforce would receive newsletters in the post, each one of them photocopied, stamped and taken to the post office for delivery.

Jan Revill was elected as president in 1994 and so began an evolution that would see a succession of nine remarkable women bringing their unique talents and vision to the head of the executive team to shape the successful network of today.

Karen Neuendorf’s presidency from February 2003 to 2007 saw membership grow from around 100 to more than 400.

Karen’s legacy is the SCBWN bursary, which supports four women studying at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Sue Willis, who was president from 2008 to 2011, Michalle Faulkner, who served from 2012 to 2014, and Vickie Magic who led the SCBWN from 2015 to 2017, have all left their signature on the network and assisted in evolving it.

President Roz White is now at the helm and introduced an accelerated MBA program in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast for businesswomen.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

THE LIFT PROJECT Registrations are open for the fourth and final round of The Lift Project Sunshine Coast. Guided by renowned lifestyle medicine expert Dr Darren Morton, program participants will receive 10 weekly emails on topics including: learning about the ‘emotional brain’, why activity and being outdoors are crucial, the importance of community, boosting your emotional wellbeing, what it takes to flourish, and more. The Lift Project Sunshine Coast is free and suitable for people of all ages. Register today via Council’s website.

How will you make your way?

We want to know, how will you make your way around the Sunshine Coast region, not only today but well into the future as our region continues to grow?

O

ver the next eight weeks until 22 June, residents and visitors will have the opportunity to provide their valuable feedback on a range of options being considered in a draft Mass Transit Options Analysis report.

Mass transit is a convenient and easy-to-access public transport system which moves people efficiently.

A well-designed system reduces car usage, especially at peak times, and may include: • buses • trams or light rail vehicles • passenger trains.

The Options Analysis is the second phase in the business case process being undertaken for the mass transit project.

20 My Weekly Preview | April 29, 2021

20.indd 1

The options considered in the draft report range from bus network upgrades to a quality bus corridor to bus rapid transit, trackless trams, light rail transit and more.

We know we need sustainable and efficient transport options that can move us around quickly as more people choose to live here, yet we still want to protect our lifestyle and environment.

While public transport is a State Government responsibility, Council is leading the important planning work to attract state and federal infrastructure funding and we need our community’s feedback and support to achieve that.

The comprehensive community engagement process will seek community opinion on a wide range of potential options

to help Council make recommendations to the State Government for further consideration in the final phase of the mass transit business case process, the Detailed Business Case.

The outcomes of the community and stakeholder feedback about the mass transit options will inform the final Mass Transit Options Analysis report, which will then be submitted to Council to consider.

Make sure you have a say on what you and your family and friends want when it comes to getting around the Sunshine Coast so we can protect our environment and the way we live, work and play.

Visit Council’s website for details on all the engagement activities and to have your say on public transport options before 22 June.

DID YOU KNOW The simple act of diverting stormwater runoff onto vegetated areas, instead of letting it run straight down the drain, can reduce the demand on our precious drinking water supplies and improve the health of our waterways.

To help ensure we have an integrated stormwater network that is effective, sustainable and contributes to waterway health, Council has developed the Draft Stormwater Management Strategy and is now seeking community feedback.

Visit Council’s website to have your say by 14 May.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH JOHN EALES

FACT Volunteering in your community is a great way to build connections and teach the next generation about flora and fauna while getting outdoors and active.

• There are more than 390 local parks in the Sunshine Coast region • There are more than 30 active groups • There are 114 volunteers • Volunteer numbers have doubled in five years.

Visit Council’s website to get involved.

He’s the household name coming to Venue 114’s In Conversation lunch event on Friday 16 July. John Eales debuted for the Wallabies in 1991 and captained the side from 1996 until 2001. But not even he could predict his meteoric rise in the world of rugby. “How could I have known where this game would take me when as a seven-year-old, I ran onto the field for the first time in Brisbane?” Eales says.

WHALE MIGRATION It’s autumn, which means it’s prime humpback whale-spotting time! Each year, more than 30,000 whales migrate past the Sunshine Coast to breed in the warmer waters of Hervey Bay and beyond.

Thanks to conservation measures, their numbers have been increasing in recent years, but this has also meant stranded and dead whales end up on our beaches from time to time (which is a natural process).

If you see a stranded marine animal, alive or dead, please report it by calling the Department of Environment and Science on 1300 130 372.

ARE YOU CREATIVE? Creative Spaces is a website connecting creative spaces with creative people.

Council is seeking to increase the number of spaces available for artists.

If you own or look after a space where creatives could rehearse, exhibit, create or write, jump online and list your space for some potential extra income.

And if you’re a creative, you can find a low-cost space for locations across the Sunshine Coast.

It’s free to list and search. Check it out today – creativespaces.net.au/network/ sunshine-coast-council.

FROM THE MAYOR Have you heard about ASPIRE? It’s a free online marketplace that helps connect local businesses to exchange waste as a resource and build our circular economy.

All you have to do is list items your business no longer wants and find items you do – it’s possible that your business’s waste stream could be another one’s resource, and if we can make those connections and avoid waste going to landfill, it’s a win-win.

This green solution is a great opportunity for our local businesses to unlock new business potential, save on disposal costs or create new revenue streams – and help the environment along the way.

ASPIRE is free to Sunshine Coast businesses with an ABN and up to 100 full-time staff, and schools and community groups.

Council is partnering with businesses across the region to embed innovative sustainability practices and support new business opportunities.

Visit Council’s website to find out more and sign up to ASPIRE today.

PROFILE

Hitting it off International tennis coach Simon Walsh is using his extended stay on the Sunshine Coast to train local players. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

P

utting kids under too much pressure too early in their chosen sport can be crushing, says international tennis coach Simon Walsh, who recently settled in Marcoola after COVID put a temporary halt to his jet-setting lifestyle. Having coached at 64 Grand Slams and spent 25 years coaching overseas, he’s seen plenty of pushy sports parents. While it’s great to encourage them, he warns parents to tread carefully.

“If the child has some ability and has those dreams of being a professional player,

•

22.indd 1

I would say to the parents if you’re going to back that, understand it’s a very long journey and you’re not going to see things happen overnight. If you’re going that route and you really support your child’s dreams, do it like Ash Barty’s parents. They are a fantastic example of sports parents… She was able to develop at her own pace.”

Mr Walsh grew up in Sydney and aspired to become a professional tennis player, but he started too late and went into coaching instead, beginning his coaching apprenticeship under master coaches at

age 17. “I left Australia when I was about 21 and I’ve lived in a number of countries and worked for different federations and academies since then,” he says.

“I did a lot early in my career on the juniors scene and transitioned into the pro game. My career has mainly been working with women on the WTA circuit.

“I’ve worked with a mixture of players from different nationalities. I’ve been travelling most of my adult life, spending 40 weeks a year on the international women’s circuit.”

His best-known protege is former world number one in doubles Samantha Stosur, who he coached from a young age.

“Sam was a good junior, but she wasn’t exceptional,” he says. “She wasn’t a standout, but I had her when she was transitioning early in her pro career. You could see she had certain things not polished then, she was still quite raw. When she started to have success in doubles, that really grew her confidence.

“My goal was to get her into the top 100 and that’s what we achieved. That was 2004.

She went on to win the US Open in 2011 – I was part of her tennis history.

“My strength as a coach is not so much working with players who are already at the top, but helping them make the critical transition from junior to pro game. A lot get stuck in the 400 to 500 ranking and that can make it hard to make it into the top 100.”

Mr Walsh had spent a year living in Barcelona when the pandemic hit and decided to return to Australia. He has family on the Sunshine Coast and thought the Atlantis Marcoola would be a great place to “ride out the storm” of COVID. He’s coaching adults and children at Atlantis until international tennis picks up again, offering a unique opportunity for Coast locals to train with a world-class coach. He’s also offering free 30-minute

assessments for promising juniors aspiring to a professional tennis career.

“I don’t feel like I’m competing against tennis clubs or other coaches because I think my background is very unique,” he says. “I’ve worked mainly with foreign players and I’m interested to see what’s here and what the response is.

“I don’t want to make it exclusive; I’m happy to work with anyone of any level while I’m here. I don’t want people to feel intimidated. I’ve done a lot of kids’ clinics and ideally I’d like to help aspiring juniors.”

Tennis is widely regarded as the most popular individual sport in the world, played by an estimated 60 million people, and success in the sport can be lucrative.

But making it to the top is a long road.

“Tennis is an expensive sport and it’s also a huge investment for parents,” Mr Walsh says. “There’s a lot of challenges along the way and you’ve got to see the bigger picture and be patient. Keep your feet on the ground and get good advice from people who have been there and done it.

“I’ve worked with a lot of Eastern Europeans and they don’t come from a lot.

Tennis is a way out… It breeds that hunger and desire and sometimes it’s not directed in a healthy way. It can be crushing for kids if you put them under too much pressure too early. Hopefully they have the right people around them and the first thing is, let them enjoy the game.

“It’s a fantastic sport – you can be 80 and still be out there and playing doubles.

Socially, it’s fantastic. You can be anywhere in the world and pick up a racquet; it’s truly a global sport. For me, tennis has provided me the opportunity to travel the world and do something I love. I don’t see it as work.

Yes, it’s my job and it pays the bills, but I just love the game. I love watching it and I’m very passionate about it.”

SEASCAPE ARTIST TO HOLD EXHIBITION IN POMONA

There’s a diverse range of events to fill up your diary, just check out these events and make a selection to suit.

June 18-20 INAUGURAL SUNSHINE COAST CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL ON IN JUNE The inaugural Sunshine Coast Chamber Music Festival will be held from June 18 to 20. The program showcases dynamic Australian artists and will feature nine live performances in our region’s most breathtaking spaces.

Artistic director, Louise King explains her vision is to curate events that resonate with the Sunshine Coast community and lifestyle, and to build new audiences and appreciation for the festival musicians.

“The Festival’s theme is Distance + Intimacy | Hope + Regeneration to reflect

the timeless journey of chamber music to today’s unforeseen challenges for artists; for many this festival is the first opportunity in 12 months to perform live, so it promises to be a poignant occasion for everyone,” Ms King says.

A major aim of the festival is to support the Australian arts community and every ticket sold will count towards reigniting the arts and supporting talented artists.

Ms King has chosen both traditional and unexpected settings across the region for each unique concert to celebrate the Sunshine Coast’s natural, ancient landscapes through artistic collaboration, cultural exchange and evocative music.

When coronavirus changed the direction of our lives, local artist Gail Williams was also impacted. Instead of spending the summer in New Zealand, where she goes to perfect her craft and avoid the stifling heat of a Queensland summer, Ms Williams was forced to stay close to home.

With travel options limited and a growing demand for her beautifully painted pastel seascapes, Ms Williams was invited to showcase her artwork at a local gallery. And so began the process of creating over 30 pieces that would form the show’s collection.

Ms Williams paints beautiful seascapes, drawing inspiration from her childhood holidays spent at Kings Beach.

Her affinity for the Sunshine Coast began in her youth and her work often features pathways to the beach, capturing wonderful memories and bringing them back to life in the pastel medium.

In addition to gracing the walls of many homes on the Sunshine Coast, Ms Williams paintings have sold in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne and have also found homes in New Zealand, Germany and Vietnam.

Ms Williams has been a supporter of Wishlist Art Auction and her paintings are hung on the walls of the maternity unit at

the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

She is also proud that a recent artwork has gone to a newly created parents’ retreat space on the children’s ward, helping create a calm environment for parents and carers of very ill children.

This exhibition, Footsteps in the Sand, showcases her love of both the pastel medium and her love of all things ‘beach’.

When: Exhibition opens Saturday May 1 at 11.30am. Open all through month of May. Where: The Old Pomona Station Railway Gallery, 10 Station Street Pomona.

Exhibition open daily: Monday–Friday 10am–4pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am–2pm.

LIFESTYLES OF THE COOL AND SCALY Set in a subtropical mix of urban, rural and natural environment settings, the Sunshine Coast supports an extraordinarily rich biodiversity. This applies particularly to reptiles. And with an increasing population, our interactions with a variety of reptiles including snakes are likely to increase significantly. This talk will focus mainly on the distinctive reptile communities that inhabit our rainforest environments. It celebrates the biodiversity we have an obligation to protect, and examines some interesting aspects of the lifestyles of some of our fascinating rainforest species.

The talk will also cover our interactions with reptiles – how we can co-exist with reptiles in our home environments, and common sense advice on dealing with dangerous snakes.

MY OPINION

The opinions expressed above are those of the authors. These are not the views of My Weekly Preview publishers.

VOICE CUSTOMER VIOLENCE

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Interesting to read that Woolworths is trialling body cameras on store supervisors in selected supermarkets Australia-wide in an attempt to curb customer violence towards it’s staff. Congratulations to a company for standing beside its staff and instigating procedures that are intended to keep staff safe and the small minority of arrogant, rude and agressive shoppers accountable for their pathetic behavior towards young checkout operators…

Just how has society found itself in this situation?

Jeff Taylor, Currimundi

“This is the photo I took one recent morning at the dog off-leash beach at Stumers Creek, Coolum. I love how people can simply kick off their footwear and head to the beach with their dogs, and retrieve their thongs after their walk.

Lyn Cook

HOORAY FOR NZ FLIGHTS I love perusing MWP, always plenty of local content and articles of interest. I was excited, as a New Zealand-born Australian, to note (MWP April 15) CEO of Visit Sunshine Coast Matt Stoeckel’s column advising that Air New Zealand is to re-introduce flights from Auckland direct to Maroochydore as of June 28. I’m looking forward to four days in Christchurch towards the end of the month to visit my dear mum and family and can’t wait to touch Aotearoa again. A win-win indeed.

Australia and New Zealand are bonded and bound. Trade, tourists, a language – kind of – as well as food standards, battlefields, medical colleges and most of our national flags – we share a lot.

We also fight like siblings. Last month, their PM burred up about us sending NZ citizens who commit crime back, even if the crims were raised here. We framed it as throwing a bad fish back, but they thought we were putting our smelly rubbish in our neighbour’s wheelie bin: not cool.

We have sores that never quite heal, such as anything to do with rugby union and the fact that so many stars of song and screen we claim, who were born there.

Kiwis also lead developed nations in COVID-19 case control and containment, casting a shadow over our own stellar numbers. It makes it, as New Zealanders would say, a luttle chully.

If we are really honest, Australia thinks of NZ as our povo cuzzie (poor cousin for those who like their English proper and to not sound like it has a flat tyre), so when yet another episode of cross-ditch crankiness bubbled over, this time over the name of a honey, we at first rolled our collective eyes.

THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS

WRITE TO US

Jane Stephens is a USC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

But things are now serious, and if the New Zealanders are successful in court this year, beekeepers Down Under say they are at risk of going under.

Manuka honey is made from the nectar of trees that are native to both Australia and New Zealand. The stoush centres on the word manuka, which Kiwis say is a Maori word (it needs a little accent over the ‘a’) and they aren’t sharing it with us.

Owning the right to use the word manuka is owning the licence to print money and intellectual property law circles are all abuzz about it.

This is not the first time sweet stuff has caused a bitter feud. They have long claimed to have invented the pavlova, a dessert sweet enough to make the whole world’s teeth ache.

Anna Pavlova was a famous Russian ballerina so light on her feet she inspired creative chefs. In the mid-1920s she toured Australia and NZ, and both places lay claim to having chefs who created the fluffy meringue, cream and fruit concoctions Australia now considers its national dessert.

The lamington is similarly the subject of a trans-Tasman tug of war over who started it. Australian lore is that the coconut-rolled, choc-dipped sponge was created for Lord Lamington on his installation as governor of the Queensland colony in 1896, but New Zealand claims the exact same thing already existed there and was known as a Wellington cake.

It’s all a sweet mess.

The thing is, surely they can have their honey with its accent and we can have ours without and we can agree they are the same but different.

A bit like Aussies and New Zealanders in general. Sweet as, bro.

AMERICA HAS THE ANSWER

LIFE IS SWEET

Ashley Robinson has had a bright idea – bring over some American celebrities to sort us out.

Sami Muirhead flips open The Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book and takes a trip down memory lane.

hat about Oprah a few weeks ago with her expose on the royal family. In my opinion it was so orchestrated it could have been an episode of Dallas. I am not saying how true the content was – I have no idea – but the theatre of it all was over the top. It did give me an idea though – if she has the ability to throw the monarchy under the bus so effectively, I thought maybe we could start bringing US celebrities over here to help with stuff that basically we have inherited from the Yanks.

Namely litigation, living in excess and lauding our politicians to the point of them being like rock stars, you know, special?

I thought maybe Dr Phil would be one. He could cure us of our excesses and anything else he can magically whip away in less than an hour. But I think the one we should target, the one who could probably do most good, would be Judge Judy, and she is definitely the one that could help me with my list, while Phil could only help with my multiple personalities.

Imagine, just like the TV show, no lawyers or civil libertarians – just the

accusers and the accused. Couldn’t we get some stuff done? Imagine, she could sort the appalling behaviour in Parliament House in possibly one show. Maybe she would need to include Dr Phil in some of it just to figure out what is actually wrong with some of these people before Judge Judy sorts them out, because if we wait for Scotty from Marketing to do something we could be waiting a while.

The most important case is the oil companies and supermarkets. She could either charge them with price fixing and gouging or sentence the ACCC for just being a useless waste of taxpayers’ money.

One or the other, Jude, our country would be so grateful.

If Judge Judy could sort a few of these things out, maybe get Dr Phil to liven up the vaccination process and get to the bottom of why it is taking so long. We would probably be heading in the right direction with cheaper fuel and a more stable government. There is a downside though – German car dealer sales would be down in this country as the need for litigation lawyers and those no-win no-fee jokers would be a lot less?

Ashley Robinson is the manager of Alex Surf Club and the chairman of the Sunshine Coast Falcons.

I

t was always a highlight of my childhood birthday celebrations (and a headache for my mum): the jelly pool, the Dolly Varden skirt cake, the clock tower with a mouse running down it.

Yes, I am referring to the famous creations from The Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book.

The book and all its cake recipes became a staple of life growing up in the ’80s and ’90s. The cakes are nostalgic for more than one generation of Aussie kids.

This year the cookbook turns 41 and a new list has been released of the most ridiculous (yet still iconic) cakes. May I present the top five.

Topping the list is the swimming pool cake. All you had to do to make the creation look festive was whack in some cocktail umbrellas and fill the sponge with some radioactive-looking blue jelly. Throw in some ladders made of pink musk sticks and tiny dolls and you had a masterpiece.

Number two on the list is the choochoo train. This locomotive was a logistical nightmare and you basically needed an engineering degree to construct the carriages and tracks. Do not get me started

on the rainbow popcorn on a string that is meant to represent steam.

Third is the Dolly Varden cake. I had this one more than once growing up and I suspect because it simply involved buying a doll and sticking her inside a cake covered in marshmallows. It looks a littler stripper club to me but, hey, who am I to judge?

Number four is the candy castle cake. I take my hat off to the genius who thought of using upturned ice cream cones for castle spires. So many lollies. So much icing. Completely ridiculous? Yes. But also completely fabulous to a child.

And rounding out the most ridiculous top five cakes is the Humpty Dumpty cake.

In these here COVID times I do not think using a used loo paper roll would meet health and safety standards. The other problem was Humpty would slide off the wall in the hot Queensland sun before your party ended.

I’m offended the piano, racing car track and clock tower did not make the list. The genius of using an entire prune to resemble a mouse running down the clock is next level. Take note kids of today with your fancy macaroons and red velvet cupcakes.

SUNSHINE COAST ROTARIANS REFLECT ON A CENTURY OF GOOD WORK

news

The region’s Rotary members pause to celebrate their many years of service. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

CENTRAL/NORTH SUNSHINE COAST REGION

Rotary Club of Alexandra Headland’s David Woodrow and John Malloy with Mayor Mark Jamieson (centre) at the recent 100th celebration of Rotary Australia

R

otary Australia and New Zealand is celebrating 100 years of service in 2021 with clubs across the Sunshine Coast pausing to reflect on a century of work.

With 19 clubs in the region, about 100 Rotarians, Mayor Mark Jamieson and Member for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson

gathered on April 17 at Maroochy RSL for a gala dinner to look back on the achievements of Rotary locally.

Wendy Gilson is assistant governor for the southern Sunshine Coast region, looking after six local clubs including Alexandra Headland, Buderim, Caloundra, Caloundra Pacific, Maroochydore and

Mooloolaba and liaising closely with the district governor.

A Rotarian for 14 years and passionate about the work, Ms Gilson says a friend introduced her to Rotary when she moved from Victoria, and at the time she knew very little about the work the club did in the community.

“What I love about it is the friendship and the fellowship. It is a service organisation but we also have a lot of fun.”

Ms Gilson says Rotary attracts likeminded people and brings a sense of camaraderie. “It’s not something people are doing because they have to; it’s something they want to do. I think Rotary almost becomes part of your family.”

Ms Gilson, who is also the president of the Rotary Club of Alexandra Headland, says Rotary supports a variety of programs, from working in schools, to fundraising for local charities and overseas humanitarian projects. “We have a close association with IFYS and through that we have completely done a $75,000 garden makeover for a house that houses teenagers.

“We have an association with the university, and along with other clubs on the Sunshine Coast, offer three scholarships a year to post graduate students.”

She says one of Alex club’s biggest annual fundraisers is the Surf Show and Shine – sponsored by Cricks Volkswagen – that brings some of the coolest Kombi vans to the Coast every September, raising funds for a beneficiary of the club’s choice.

“We also have a Solstice Swim coming

up in June, which we are raising money for Salty Souls who deal with children with disabilities.”

David Woodrow has also been fundamental in establishing Rotary on the Coast. Beginning as a Rotarian in Toowoomba in 1990, Mr Woodrow moved to the Sunshine Coast after retiring from his role as a school principal, joining the Maroochydore club in 1995.

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Alex club in 2000 and several significant fundraising projects, including setting up the trust fund to support student scholarships at USC and supporting the now RACQ LifeFlight helicopter.

“I could see projects that needed Rotary support and got the Rotary clubs involved in it,” he says.

“I’ve done about 138 lectures letting people know the importance of the rescue helicopter and we’ve raised about half a million for them in that period of time.”

With so much to celebrate, Ms Gilson says the 100th year anniversary is a way to reflect on the work of members, past and present. “It’s something that Rotary can be very proud of to look back and see.

“It’s not wanting to pat ourselves on the back, but I think sometimes it helps to reflect because you tend to always be in the moment and you don’t stop to think what has been achieved.”

Rotary has more than two million member worldwide and clubs are entirely volunteer run.

IT’S HIP TO BE SQUARE

CROQUET CLUB CALLS FOR NEW PLAYERS

Suncoasters Square Dance Club celebrates 51 years of fun in Buderim. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

Suncoasters Square Dance Club founders Bev and Nev McLachlan

S

uncoasters Square Dance Club is holding a weekend of celebrations in May to recognise 51 years of “dancing in a square to create a circle of friends”.

Unable to celebrate its 50th last year, founders Nev and Bev McLachlan are

hoping to make up for it in 2021. The McLachlans have immense experience in Australia and overseas with square dancing, round dancing and clogging.

“Modern square dancing is considerably different from its heydays in the mid-20th century when it became

Nambour Croquet Club is looking for new players. The club’s Patrick Farrell says anyone of any age with a reasonable fitness level can play.

“Croquet is a game which can be played by ages ranging from 10 to 90,” he says. “We had one member who was still playing at 96. It’s in the open air, provides exercise, helps co-ordination and is great fun.” Mr Farrell says members play every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9am to midday, with tuition held for junior players after school on Fridays.

The club, adjacent to Nambour Bowls Club, also holds mahjong every Monday. For details phone 5472 7287 or email berpat@bigpond.com.

America’s national folk dance,” Bev says.

“Its origins date back to the old dances of many European countries brought to America by settlers over 200 years ago.

These same traditional dances and steps are the basis of Australian bush dancing.”

Bev says square dancing is for all ages and is taught as you go along, rather than learning a whole routine. “It is an activity that any member of the family can enjoy or even the whole family together.”

During the ’80s, the club championed to have a hall built on council-owned land in Buderim with the small committee becoming trustees.

“Many of our dancers ‘bought a brick’ for $1 each or contributed in other ways,” Nev says.

The opening was held on August 3, 1985 with more than 400 dancers present.

“Our venue is rather unique, built exclusively for square dancing and … it has a floating wooden dance floor,” Bev says.

Suncoasters Square Dance Club is located at Ballinger Road Sports Complex.

It will hold celebrations across May 15 and 16. For details call 5445 1238.

A big ‘thank you’ to the Maroochy RSL for inviting Wildlife Volunteers Association Inc (WILVOS) to morning tea at the club recently. This was a gathering of the different charities the Maroochy RSL had sponsored during 2020.

2021 sees WILVOS celebrate 28 years

as an incorporated association. Having been a member for over 25 years, I see just how many native animals are saved by the wonderful volunteers. There is, of course, heartbreak along with the joy of rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing wildlife.

Nevertheless, we know that it is worth it, and the need is there in an ever-changing environment.

Each year sees new developments in rehabilitation methods for our native animals, and an increase in the use of emerging new technology on the administrative side.

The WILVOS 5441 6200 Hotline is a 24-hour service. We do get some very challenging calls, but with a little networking between our members we can always find a solution. Holiday time always means an increase in injured and orphaned wildlife. Common causes are motor vehicle accidents, fishing line entanglements and domestic animal attacks. Prompt help for these animals means the difference between life and death for the distressed wildlife. It is always rewarding to be able to help each and every species needing care. The ultimate reward is seeing wildlife returned to their natural habitat.

– Donna Brennan, WILVOS

The club’s Bill Mackenzie says the seven-day trip is a twice-yearly event.

“These excursions are well planned with a variety of activities on the program and are an excellent way of getting to really know your fellow members,” he says.

“Some of the activities included a river cruise with entertainment, a guided walk

through the Sea Acres National Park, morning tea and wine tasting at the historic Douglas Vale home and vineyard and a visit to the Koala Hospital.”

The club also held a changeover lunch at Buderim Tavern recently to welcome in a new president, treasurer and assistant activities officer.

Nambour 90 Probus Club takes its name from the year it was formed in 1990 and meetings are held at the Palmwoods Bowls Club on the fourth Monday of the month. To join, call 5441 1364.

ROAD PROJECT MOVING AHEAD

Cr Jason O’Pray Division eight (Coolum Beach, Marcoola, Maroochydore, Mount Coolum, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise, Point Arkwright, Twin Waters, Yaroomba)

Stage 1B of the Walan Street upgrade is now complete

A

n important milestone has been reached this month, with the completion of the $8.5 million upgrade of Walan Street, between Venning Street and Smith Street in Mooloolaba.

The Walan Street upgrade completes stage one of the Mooloolaba Transport Corridor Upgrade project, which will include the widening of Walan Street and Brisbane Road to four traffic lanes, a new Mayes Canal bridge and other intersection and landscape improvements.

Division four councillor Joe Natoli says the Mooloolaba Transport Corridor

three of Brisbane Road to four traffic lanes will also soon begin.”

Stages two and three will be built concurrently, with construction starting in May 2021 and anticipated for completion in late 2022.

“Located between Walan Street and Kyamba Court, stages two and three will include intersection upgrades, provision for cyclists, landscaping and the new Mayes Canal bridge.”

Thanks to $12 million in federal funding, construction of the Mayes Canal bridge is being brought forward.

For more information on the project, visit sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/MTCU.

Upgrade is an important project that will improve safety for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, improve traffic flow, reduce delays during peak periods and cater for future traffic growth.

“We’re preparing now for the anticipated growth in traffic generated by residents, businesses and the attraction of Mooloolaba’s natural features, with daily trips expected to increase from around 61,000 today to more than 90,000 in 2041,” Cr Natoli says.

“The upgrade to Walan Street is an important part of this future planning.

“Construction of the highly anticipated upgrade of stages two and

Earlier this month I was so very proud to open the new North Shore Boardriders clubhouse with a gazillion old-crew local surfers at Cotton Tree. Surrounded by lifetime friends, we celebrated the future of surfing on the Sunshine Coast.

The Aussies really went off and it was unreal being part of this massive event.

It’s expected to have generated a huge economic benefit for the region, and being televised, showcased our beautiful beaches as a fantastic event and holiday destination. Our tourism industry is a vital element of our regional economy, which is why council supports major events being held here. Another big event coming up is the Queensland Christian Soccer Association State Titles from April 30 to May 3 held at Sunshine Coast Stadium, North Shore Multisports Complex, Mudjimba and Parklakes. I’m also looking forward to next week’s SCouT event (May 4), bringing more than 500 tourism operators together to connect.

Next month the Volkswagen Scramble Championship Final is being held at Twin Waters Golf Club.

Update on a few projects on the go in division eight: discussions with the Pacific Paradise Progress Association are continuing and we are hoping to finalise plans to improve Eliza Peatling Park in Gayome Street with work set to start next financial year. In Marcoola, discussions have started on possible future upgrades to the foreshore parkland area.

See you around division eight!

SUNSHINE COAST ROTARIANS REFLECT ON A CENTURY OF GOOD WORK The region’s Rotary members pause to celebrate their many years of service. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

SOUTHERN SUNSHINE COAST REGION

Rotary Club of Caloundra Pacific incoming present Greig Lee-Archer with Suzanne LeeArcher at the Rotary 100th celebration

R

otary Australia and New Zealand is celebrating 100 years of service in 2021 with clubs across the Sunshine Coast pausing to reflect on a century of work.

With 19 clubs in the region, about 100 Rotarians, Mayor Mark Jamieson and Member for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson

gathered on April 17 at Maroochy RSL for a gala dinner to look back on the achievements of Rotary locally.

Wendy Gilson is assistant governor for the southern Sunshine Coast region, looking after six local clubs including Alexandra Headland, Buderim, Caloundra, Caloundra Pacific, Maroochydore and

Mooloolaba and liaising closely with the district governor.

A Rotarian for 14 years and passionate about the work, Ms Gilson says a friend introduced her to Rotary when she moved from Victoria, and at the time she knew very little about the work the club did in the community.

“What I love about it is the friendship and the fellowship. It is a service organisation but we also have a lot of fun.”

Ms Gilson says Rotary attracts likeminded people and brings a sense of camaraderie. “It’s not something people are doing because they have to; it’s something they want to do. I think Rotary almost becomes part of your family.”

Ms Gilson, who is also the president of the Rotary Club of Alexandra Headland, says Rotary supports a variety of programs, from working in schools, to fundraising for local charities and overseas humanitarian projects. “We have a close association with IFYS and through that we have completely done a $75,000 garden makeover for a house that houses teenagers.

“We have an association with the university, and along with other clubs on the Sunshine Coast, offer three scholarships a year to post graduate students.”

She says one of Alex club’s biggest annual fundraisers is the Surf Show and Shine – sponsored by Cricks Volkswagen – that brings some of the coolest Kombi vans to the Coast every September, raising funds for a beneficiary of the club’s choice.

“We also have a Solstice Swim coming

up in June, which we are raising money for Salty Souls who deal with children with disabilities.”

David Woodrow has also been fundamental in establishing Rotary on the Coast. Beginning as a Rotarian in Toowoomba in 1990, Mr Woodrow moved to the Sunshine Coast after retiring from his role as a school principal, joining the Maroochydore club in 1995.

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Alex club in 2000 and several significant fundraising projects, including setting up the trust fund to support student scholarships at USC and supporting the now RACQ LifeFlight helicopter.

“I could see projects that needed Rotary support and got the Rotary clubs involved in it,” he says.

“I’ve done about 138 lectures letting people know the importance of the rescue helicopter and we’ve raised about half a million for them in that period of time.”

With so much to celebrate, Ms Gilson says the 100th year anniversary is a way to reflect on the work of members, past and present. “It’s something that Rotary can be very proud of to look back and see.

“It’s not wanting to pat ourselves on the back, but I think sometimes it helps to reflect because you tend to always be in the moment and you don’t stop to think what has been achieved.”

Rotary has more than two million member worldwide and clubs are entirely volunteer run.

FORMER HOCKEY STAR’S NEW CAREER

A

n ex-Kookaburras field hockey champion who returned to the region after 15 years at the top of the sport is now embracing a new career.

Murray Richards is now running the design side of his wife’s business Go For Zero, which specialises in toxin-free, sustainable products from Australian brands.

The 44-year-old Bokarina resident, who played 28 matches with the Kookaburras men’s team from 1998 to 2000, recently graduated for the University of the Sunshine Coast majoring in graphic design and user-experience/ user-interface design.

He earned a University Medal for his grade point average of 6.96 out of a perfect seven when he received his degree at the USC Sunshine Coast graduation ceremony earlier this month.

“I enjoyed learning the theory behind design, and developing my understanding across a range of disciplines,” Mr Richards says, adding he was determined to finish a degree after his university studies in the 1990s were interrupted to peruse sport.

“The USC graduation was a special moment, as I was able to share it with my children, my wife and my mother.”

SENIOR CLUB CALLS FOR NEW MEMBERS Despite a successful morning tea earlier this month, Glasshouse Country Senior Citizens Club is hoping to encourage more members to join. The event was a chance to welcome new members and is the major fundraising day for the club, which creates social events for over-50s in the Glass House region. The club’s AGM is on May 11 with monthly visitors’ luncheon dates planned though the year. These include stalls, progressive raffles, plus a major door prize and entertainment.

Monthly meetings are held at Beerwah Community Hall. Call 5496 9260.

LIGHTHOUSES SET TO INSPIRE ROMANCE WRITER

G

azing out to sea, imagining romance and creating perfect endings is what’s in store for romance writer Sara Hartland.

Ms Hartland is the new resident creative at the iconic 1968 Signal Station at the Caloundra Lighthouses, as part of a new offering while tours are on hold.

The Signal Station, in partnership with Friends of the Caloundra Lighthouses, will be tested as the latest space in Sunshine Coast Council’s Creative Spaces program, which matches artists with inspirational places to work.

In residence until May 3, Ms Hartland says she will work on her manuscript, which she will pitch to publishers at the Romance Writers of Australia annual conference in August.

“It’s a dream come true to have access

to such a unique and inspiring space to work,” Ms Hartland says. “Lighthouses have a strong tradition in storytelling and literature.

“I’ll be thinking of that as I climb the lighthouse’s 47 winding steps each day to my temporary ‘artist’s garret’, where the views to the sea and the mountains will work their magic.”

Arts portfolio councillor Rick Baberowski says the Creative Spaces program helps build a dedicated network of places for artists to connect, create and collaborate.

“I’d suggest anyone with an appropriate space to rent or anyone looking for a space to create, should take a look at the site and register,” he says.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO GET A SPECIAL AWARD

NEW NATURE PLAYGROUND FOR FLINDERS PRIMARY TO SWING, CLIMB AND JUMP Matthew Flinders Anglican College has created a new nature playground in its primary campus for students from Prep to Year 3.

Flinders head of primary, Mrs Trudi Edwards, says the students have given the new playspace their stamp of approval.

“Our students have wasted no time exploring their new pole home: climbing, running, jumping, crawling, sliding, swinging, digging, pumping water, balancing on rocks, and exploring the creek bed,” Mrs Edwards says.

“We invited our Preps to be the first to explore, and it’s clearly a thumbs up from them.”

Head of junior primary, Ms Chris Curtain, says the college is committed to building outdoor play spaces to support children’s development.

“We know that outdoor play, particularly in the early years, helps children to build physical competence and

also encourages social interaction,” Ms Curtain says.

“Front of mind was for this playspace to nurture our students’ physical, social and emotional skills,” she says.

“The space also provides engaging sensory experiences, as this is proven to help children form a positive sense of self and to better understand their world.”

The bespoke playground features wooden decks with rope bridges, a slide, ladders, poles and climbing walls to help students’ physical development.

Under the decks is the perfect space for creative and imaginative games.

There’s also a mud kitchen, builders’ yard and creek bed with a water pump for students to explore and develop their thinking and problem-solving capacity.

Designed with natural wood, the playground complements the college’s natural campus environment with its established trees for shade.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (or The Duke of Ed) is an exciting international youth development program that anyone between the ages of 14 and 24 can take part in and the best bit is you choose your own activities and set your own goals. The Duke of Ed is part of an international program running in 140 countries and is the largest structured youth development program in Australia.

There’s plenty of reasons to enter the awards, including the recognition for doing many of the things you already do.

You can also choose new activities that you’ve always wanted to do.

What’s involved?

The Duke of Ed has three award levels and you can choose the level that’s right for you: Bronze, Silver or Gold. Each level has different time commitments. To finish the Bronze and Silver levels you have to complete four award sections and five for the Gold level. You design your own program around the things that interest you most.

The award sections are: • Voluntary Service—get involved in your community and give service.

• Skills – build your skills in something practical or creative, such as drawing, painting, fishing, or music.

• Physical Recreation – take part in something active such as football, basketball, dancing, surfing or swimming.

• Adventurous Journey – discover a sense of adventure and do something challenging with your friends.

• Gold Residential Project – broaden your horizons and open your eyes to the world.

You’ll have an Award Leader, instructors and assessors who can help

Visit our K-12 Open Day Sunday 16 May 12:30 - 3:30pm

you decide on activities for each Award section but remember, it’s your choice.

Entering the Duke of Edinburgh award means you can get involved with something different and achieve something worthwhile, it is increasingly recognised by employers so it can even help you get a job. You will gain experience in many of the skills employers look for: communication, problem solving, initiative, organisation, and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. You will also be seen as someone who actively participates in their community and who shows perseverance and commitment.

The Duke of Ed is a recognised course of study for the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), which is usually awarded at the end of Year 12. You can earn up to four credits—one for Bronze, one for Silver and two for Gold.

To earn credit points for your QCE, you must complete your Award while you are in Years 10–12 and provide the Queensland Award Operating Authority with your Learner Unique Identifier (LUI).

WELLBEING FRONT OF MIND FOR CALOUNDRA STUDENTS Caloundra City Private School is leading the way with its whole-school Wellbeing@ CaloundraCity program, prioritising the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of its young people.

The proactive approach to wellbeing is embedded into the school’s curriculum across all year levels from Kindergarten to Year 12, aiming to not only support increasing mental health concerns in children, but provide students with strong foundations for a sense of wellbeing into their futures.

Head of sport and outdoor education at Caloundra City Private School, Dr McMahon, says the program places importance on each individual’s wellbeing journey, both at school and beyond.

“The Wellbeing@CaloundraCity program is centred on forming pathways to wellbeing in education, within a supportive and caring environment,” says Dr McMahon. “It aims to support all members of the school community, including parents, students and staff, to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives.

“Throughout term one, our students engaged in a range of social and emotional education initiatives interwoven into students’ daily live.”

Themes explored in the program include: positive emotions and gratitude, engagement and mindfulness, relationships and empathy, meaning and purpose, accomplishment and optimism, and health and strengths.

Caloundra City Private School Principal, Mrs Sherrie Cuthbert, says the school’s size offers a strong point of difference in creating a meaningful impact.

“As part of our school’s strategic

planning, we refocused clear priorities for 2021 and beyond, one of which is wellbeing and positive education, forging our young people’s strong sense of self,” she says.

“A huge advantage to our tight-knit school community with small class sizes is that we are able to offer a targeted approach to wellbeing.

“Leaning into this point of difference sees our dedicated teaching team ensure we are considering the needs of each individual student, whilst also leading by example and implementing this in their own lives.

“An overarching focus of the program is equipping students with self-mastery – one of the key transferrable skills we have identified as essential for future-proofing our students and encouraging a life-long love of learning.

“Self-mastery through wellbeing is understanding of self through positive emotion, engagement in the moments, building relationships that are meaningful and grow confidence, finding meaning through self-reflection, building selfefficacy through self-regulation and accomplishments and focusing on the importance of health.”

INDEPENDENCE THE KEY FOR A LIFE WELL LIVED Darrin is your typical Aussie bloke. He likes to mow the lawn, loves the footy (go Broncos!) and is chief of the barbecue every Sunday.

He also has intellectual disability, and is supported to live independently by disability service provider Endeavour Foundation.

“I’ve been living with Endeavour Foundation for more than 20 years,” says Darrin.

“I love living by myself, with some support. It’s a good thing!

“I exercise every day, do my shopping on a Thursday, go to the movies, cook my own meals.”

Support worker Stephanie Moore says she’s seen a lot of growth in Darrin in the time she’s been working with him.

“Darrin has achieved a lot of firsts in the past year,” she says.

“He loves to participate in the weekly shop and assists with meal planning, list preparation, and the shop itself. He really enjoys the whole experience.

“Our housemates really get the chance to live their life their way, and learn new things along the way.

“I love seeing housemates develop on the skills that other people may take for granted,” Ms Moore says. “I’ve seen the pride in their home and possessions – inviting friends and family over and showing off all the new and exciting features of their homes, and making a cuppa for their visitors.”

Endeavour Foundation recently launched the new $35 million housing initiative My Home, My Life, building new homes for people like Darrin on the Sunshine Coast.

CEO Andrew Donne says people with disability face many challenges in securing long-term or permanent accommodation. “We know many people with intellectual disability are living at

home with ageing parents who may even need support themselves,” Mr Donne says.

“Often on a low, fixed income, it’s challenging for people with disability to find suitable accommodation in the open rental market. In fact, most new homes in Australia are still not built to accessible standards.

“That’s why we’ve launched the biggest spending initiative in our organisation’s 70-year history.

“Our $35 million My Home, My Life initiative, will see Endeavour Foundation

build 59 new homes and refurbish a further 26 homes around Queensland, providing 352 people with the opportunity to live more independently.”

The first phase of the initiative will see two brand-new, contemporary, accessible homes built on the Sunshine Coast.

Another seven homes will be built and three exiting homes reburbished in the area by 2023.

For more information or to register your interest in living in the new homes, you can visit endeavour.com. au/myhome-mylife.

ARUMA: HELPING YOU FIND HOME SWEET HOME

CELEBRATING AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH WITH STEPS As we finish Autism Awareness month, all Australians are encouraged to consider the barriers people with autism face, and how as a community we can strive to make a more inclusive environment for all.

One program, STEPS Autism Treehouse, strives to make a difference for people with autism and their families all year round.

STEPS Autism Treehouse aims to build positive connections between parents, carers and children with autism. Beyond supplying information and resources, the organisation also runs a range of activities and free social groups for young children, teens, parents and families with autism.

Regular parent and carer social clubs provide a place to share experiences.

STEPS Autism Treehouse runs multiple educational events and social activities for young children and teens with autism, with the self-defence classes being a particular popular activity. Through the class, which is free for any child with ASD, children learn self-defence strategies that help build self-esteem, confidence, and resilience. Classes run over eight sessions a term and begin on April 28.

STEPS Autism Treehouse regularly adds a range of new activities and events, all with the same goal of providing opportunities to build community awareness and support for families living with autism.

If you or anyone you know are looking for resources, support, information or social events for living with autism, contact STEPS Autism Treehouse on 5409 9014 or email autism@stepsgroup.com.au. To take advantage of the range of free activities, see all the available events and RSVP at stepsautismtreehouse. org.au/whats-on.

Everybody wants to find a place to call home.

A home is more than just bricks and mortar. It can also mean independence and finding confidence. And that’s where Aruma comes in. The disability service provider has a range of options to help people with a disability find their ideal living arrangement.

One of these options is called Individualised Living Options (ILO). It’s an NDIS support, which launched in July 2020, and it’s opened new possibilities.

ILO helps people with a disability live in a home of their choice with support, with the option to live with others of their choosing. It doesn’t provide the house or dwelling itself. It provides a flexible package of supports in their home of choice, tailored for their needs.

ILO, along with Supported Independent Living (SIL), sometimes called shared accommodation, and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), which are properties designed specifically for people with very high needs, means there are more opportunities than ever to find a home!

Just ask Stuart and Grant, who moved into Aruma’s Toowoomba Supported

This four-bedroom SIL property is in Meridan Plains Independent Living (SIL) home earlier this year.

“Stuart and Grant are gaining new skills and becoming more independent,” says Tanya Vellacott, an Aruma support manager.

Aruma is one of Australia’s leading NDIS service providers. A trusted partner and mentor to more than 5000 adults and children with a disability, it all comes down to a clear promise – Aruma will always put you first. Find out more at aruma.com.au.

There are currently SIL vacancies available in Meridan Plains, Buderim and Caboolture, and the new ILO services on offer. Reach out to the Aruma team on 1300 538 746 or enquiries@aruma.com.au

Live in a brand new home on the Sunshine Coast Endeavour Foundation is a registered NDIS provider that has been proudly supporting and advocating for people with intellectual disability for 70 years.

We now have brand new, supported independent living vacancies available on the Sunshine Coast, in Tewantin and Nambour.

If you are looking to move out of home visit endeavour.com.au/ supported-accommodation or scan the code to find out more.

SCORPIO OCT 24-NOV 22

Do you have to be such a stickler for doing things the right way? This week (with Mercury aspecting Jupiter and then transiting into Gemini), resist the urge to be overly serious.

Try to find the sweet spot between being organised and spontaneous.

Libra is the zodiac sign that rules appearance. So here are some beauty tips from actress Audrey Hepburn: ‘For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.’

Stubborn Scorpios can hold onto grudges and find it hard to forgive and forget. But this week - with Venus visiting your relationship zone (until June 11) - it’s time to be extra kind and compassionate to family and friends

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23-DEC 21

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 20

AQUARIUS JAN 21-FEB 19

PISCES FEB 20-MAR 20

With the sun, Venus and Uranus visiting your work zone, you could be offered a unique opportunity that comes out of the blue. Don’t procrastinate and drag your heels Sagittarius. You need to make hay while the sun shine.

Your ruler Saturn (taskmaster and planet of the past) squares the sun on Monday, so a blast from the past could unsettle you. Do your best to keep the situation in perspective.

Look to your trusted circle of family, friends and colleagues for support.

With the sun, Venus and Uranus all visiting your family zone, home is where the heart is this week Aquarius. Even though you may be faced with a frustrating domestic problem, be thankful for the relatives who nurture and support you.

This week’s planetary patterns increase your Piscean tendency to blurt things out and spread secrets, so think before you speak! When it comes to a recalcitrant relative or an annoying neighbour, perhaps it’s time to be more diplomatic.

POPULATION GROWTH AND MIX CHANGES Figures are not reflective of the real movement on the Coast. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

T

he Coast population growth is far from affected by COVID-19, with the latest figures to the end of June 2020 of 336,482 people, with many more to come.

For the last five years there has been a steady growth moving slowly up to 2.67 per cent per annum. In comparison, greater Brisbane has grown by 1.87 per cent.

But the hard lockdown period of earlier last year pulled back the growth to 2.46 per cent according to the economy.id numbers, published earlier this month, says Direct Collective’s chief operations officer Mal Cayley.

That dip in the year to June 30, 2020 is an aberration that Mr Cayley says isn’t setting the trend for the coming year; quite the opposite he predicts.

“I suggest there will be a correction in the June 2021 figures,” he says. “I think we will see reported a much higher rate of growth.”

“What I think has happened is that we have had a six-month drag on the number of people that physically couldn’t move and that bought the percentage down.

People were still moving but it was a

Direct Collective’s chief operations officer Mal Cayley

limited number of them,” he adds.

On the other side of the first six months of border shutdowns at the start of the pandemic, there has been an opposite response with many people who may have considered moving to the Coast eventually shortening their plans.

Traditionally, new Coast residents have come from Brisbane and intra-state, followed by inter-state and to a much lesser extent, from New Zealand, the UK

and South Africa.

“It’s not necessarily people who have packed up in Melbourne and said, ‘that’s it, we are moving to the Sunshine Coast’,” Mr Cayley says.

He notes while quantifying the population changes won’t be possible for up to nine months, he says there seems to be lesser people leaving the Coast, adding to the pressure of the return of people who previously left the Coast but are now

choosing to base themselves back on the Coast.

“And, we are now seeing the others coming,” he adds.

Take for example the Melbourne family that has left behind a threegeneration school connection to move into their high-end apartment that once was a holiday home and is now their permanent residence.

Then there is still some international migration. “You will see a very, very different figure by the end of June 2021,” Mr Cayley adds.

GREAT VALUE AND TOP POSITION IN NAMBOUR CBD

T

he market is flourishing on the Sunshine Coast, making it harder to find inexpensive property for first-time homeowners and investors. Pinnacle on Maud offers an affordable solution and buyers are not wasting time, with 18 of the 20 apartments now sold and only two remaining. We asked buyers why they are choosing Pinnacle on Maud.

Paul says, “I believe this is excellent value for money. It’s one of the last places left on the Sunshine Coast that’s still entry level affordable.”

Buying off the plan certainly does have its benefits such as delayed payment – buy now, pay later, high rental guarantees for investors, credible builder, and these units are cheaper than renting.

Why rent when you can own for less in a market where vacancy rates are so limited?

With a high demand for centrally located newly constructed properties, this opportunity will not last long.

A Fresh New Look for Centre in Nambour CBD 25-31 LOWE STREET, N AM BOU R The building owner, PPI Fund Management, has spent close to $2.5 million on the capital works redeveloping the Centre and creating a new space for Sunshine Coast Radiology and bringing a breath of fresh air to the Nambour community.

Local builder Cooper Small was involved from the start of the project taking just over a year to complete the finishing touches on the Centre in May 2019.

The focus for the Centre is to create a service hub right in the heart of Nambour’s CBD and anticipate that much of the remaining space will be occupied by other medical/health services in the near future.

HINCHLIFFE REWARDED WITH SENIOR SPOT Sunshine Coast Lightning has endorsed emerging athlete Maddie Hinchliffe (pictured), promoting the midcourter to the senior list as an injury replacement player for 2021.

A knee injury prematurely ended Ashlee Unie’s season last month, which opened the door for Hinchliffe.

Lightning head coach Kylee Byrne was thrilled to fill the vacant position with an athlete already inside the club’s elite training environment.

“Maddie has worked immensely hard since joining our club and it is pleasing to now grant her this opportunity to play at the higher level and elevate her game even further,” Byrne says.

“While we’re disappointed to lose Ash for the season, Maddie is highly deserving and will be a strong asset to our team. I see so much potential with her ability to read the play and her strong workrate and can’t wait to see what she can deliver both on court and as part of our wider squad.”

The 22-year-old is no stranger to the demands of professional netball, having previously been a training partner within the Queensland Firebirds program.

“I’m honoured to be given this opportunity with Lightning – it’s something I’ve worked so hard for over the years,” says Hinchliffe. For Kylee and the coaches to put their faith in me is so exciting and now I can’t wait to get out on court and contribute to the team.”

The midcourter made her Suncorp Super Netball debut for Firebirds in 2019.

Meanwhile, some surf lifesaving father-daughter teams fared well in the open mixed ski event, with Noosa Heads’ Darren and Jordan Mercer competing, alongside Maroochydore’s Ashley and Jenaya Massie.

Jenaya was thrilled to be racing in front of friends and family.

“It’s pretty cool to be on my home beach, and doing a mixed double ski race with my dad,” she says.

The event was won by Northcliffe’s Mackenzie Hynard and Danielle McKenzie.

Alexandra Headland duo Tayla Halliday and Emma Woods claimed gold in the under-19 female board rescue.

aroochydore club member Hayden Cotter gave the crowd something to cheer about at The Aussies last Thursday, with a blistering performance in the open belt race.

Competing on his home beach, the renowned swimmer made the most of the relatively calm surf conditions to propel his team to victory. Other team members were John Baxter, Matthew Palmer, Daniel Peacock and Ethan Irvine.

They finished ahead of Northcliffe and Alexandra Headland.

“It’s pretty flat out there, so you know

it’s going to be a fast race from the start, with everyone even altogether. I just got a good start, and just went max from then on,” he says.

“I went really hard to half way, knowing that you’ve got a lot of speed in this field. I was hurting when I got close to the can, but I didn’t really want to think about it until you get your hand over the can. You know you can relax then.

“It’s good to get a win, especially on the home beach, it just makes it that much better. I know we’ve got a good history of belt races as well, so it’s good to have a few

Mooloolaba club members celebrated after winning gold in the under-17 patrol team competition for the first time. Regarded as one of the most challenging events at The Aussies, the competition went for more than 10 hours. Participants competed in multiple disciplines of surf life saving for the event, which is designed to showcase skills associated with patrol work. The event includes a theory paper, physical events (surf teams, board tube-rescue relay), a team resuscitation, patient assessment and a life-saving scenario. The team consisted of Rylee Jones, 15, Hayden Notley, 16, Connor Dick, 16 and Kiera Bascombe, 15.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

I recently had a phone call from a friend from the US who had managed to find himself at a famous Indo left-hander with no more than five people in camp, three of whom couldn’t surf. He is calling it once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to score a world-class wave for five months. Yep, he is digging in for the long haul. How he got out of the US is anyone’s guess, let alone into Indo. But fear not my friends, you will have waves this weekend with a devil wind attached.

FISHING REPORT

with Steve Dingle

The wider grounds are still fishing well with some nice mixed reef fish on the 12 Mile and some very nice pearl perch at Caloundra Wide to the bottom end of the Banks. Long tail are still around in good numbers and Caloundra and Coolum have had the better reports. In the rivers, bream have still been the main fish but a few nice jew have been in the Maroochy system. Down Caloundra in the passage there have been some nice flathead about. If fishing the rivers, put the crab pots out as there has been a few around. Beaches have been a little quiet, but a dusk fish would be the best time to try your luck. Summerset Dam has been the better place to chase bass and the fish have been schooling in the deeper water.
