The editor’s desk The Nude Olympics has been lost to Byron Bay. The event, which for decades attracted hundreds of visitors to Noosa, has been forced out under threat of arrest to individuals.

As a community, are we proud to have prevented what some might think is offensive behavior but what others may identify as acting naturally?

Does it make us richer or poorer for losing it?

In other news Johns Landing will shut its gates on 30 October.

The ripples from the camp ground’s closure are widening as this week we see other businesses have felt the effects through lost business, changes in operation and in one case, closure.

The other loss to many long-term residents is that of the friends and neighbours whose lives they have shared and the relaxed lifestyle.

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT… CAMP CLOSURE: RIPPLE EFFECTS The numbers are thinning out at Johns Landing but with only a couple of weeks until the camp ground shuts, some longterm residents are still unsure where they will go.

Associated businesses are also feeling the effects of Johns Landing closure including Gagaju Bush Camp which will be forced to shut.

On Sunday, residents and friends gathered to enjoy the time they had left together and play a few rounds of darts.

Warren (Was) Riuhi said he had secured accommodation with a gap of about a week between the camps closure and it becoming available, but there was no use worrying about it. He said he would miss the company at the camp site.

The group praised the efforts of workers from council and accommodation services who had been assisting them.

However, Joanne Popp said many of

the residents were feeling the stress of an uncertain future.

Des Balharry aims to move to Inskip Point, but with his wife in hospital and medical appointments due, he is concerned about what will happen over the next couple of weeks.

Another resident said he couldn’t afford to rent in the area and he had tried other camp sites, but couldn’t find one to accommodate his cat. He didn’t know what he’d do.

Camp owner John Bens said shop owners in Tewantin would feel the loss from camp residents and there were other repercussions of its closure.

Having been unsuccessful in finding an alternate property to base itself, the Gagaju Bush Camp will cease to trade in about two weeks. A spokesman said the bush camp owners were very upset at its closure.

BYRON'S NO ANSWER TO OUR NUDE BEACHES

AT THE PEAK OF SCOUTING Noosa Sea Scouts have gone to the head of the pack when it comes to earning the most prestigious award in the movement - the Queen’s Scout Badge.

Recently, five youth members, Jordan Bannister, Tom Pearce, Jennifer Allman, Adam Strong and Emily Griffin received their Queen’s Scout awards - by far the largest contingent in the state in recent months.

Having fun in the outdoors, coupled with learning how to be a good citizen through service, working in teams and developing leadership skills are at the heart of Scouting.

To get their award, the recipients enjoyed gaining competency in a wide array of outdoor activities. Water activities are a big part of being a Sea Scout and both Tom and Jordan earned national youth competency in both sailing and canoeing.

Tom and Adam are going on to get a motor boat licence to assist with safety boat duties. Not to be outdone Jennifer and Emily headed under the waves and obtained their PADI scuba diving certificate while Adam gained his competency in both canoeing and abseiling.

All have been to camps across

overnight camps.

“There is nowhere else with toilet facilities,” he said. “It makes it hard to run those programs.”

Phil said they needed to alter their programs to accommodate the closure. ●

Australia and some to New Zealand as part of their journey through Scouts. Jordan, for example, did her snowboarding training in New South Wales.

Scouting doesn't just teach young people how to enjoy the outdoors, it also instils the knowledge of how to make it safe. All five recipients now hold a senior first aid certificate.

Increasingly, the discipline and commitment required to obtain your

Queen’s Scout is being recognised by other organisations and in the workplace. Recently, Central Queensland University has announced they will give preferential consideration to Queen’s Scout recipients.

Noosa Sea Scouts is currently offering activities from Cub Scouts to Rover age groups. For more information, email Group Leader Brian Stockwell on Coogee100@gmail.com. ●

Organisers of the Nude Olympics said they’d be back in a flash to their beloved Alexandria Bay in Noosa National Park if the Queensland Government relaxed its laws on nudity.

Australian Naturist Federation spokesman Stuart Whelan said it was concerned over being arrested that caused organisers to move the annual event to Byron Bay this year.

The inaugural Byron Bay one-day event held on 7 October attracted only 40-45 participants compared to hundreds at Noosa.

“We treated it like a trial run. It was a great day, liked by all,” he said.

Stuart said before the clamp down by authorities the Noosa event had drawn visitors across the country.

“A number of people planned their holidays around it,” he said.

“The organisation had built up a good relationship with the surf lifesavers who were very supportive and the people of Noosa have been very supportive.” ●

COVER STORY

THE RIDE OF HIS LIFE

BY HOLLIE HARRIS

I

t was a mild sunny day and as we sat under the umbrella outside a Tewantin shop and drank our coffee, it became quite obvious to me that the gentleman sitting opposite was indeed a man who had taken life by the ears and hung on for the ride.

Here was a man of 70 years who, as an 8-year-old watching the Melbourne Olympics, decided there were two goals in life. One was to become an Olympian and the other was to fly.

Now in this sunny October morning of 2017, Ron Boyle has achieved his goals.

First was the Olympics. This came about in 1976 when after winning the Australian Sprint title as a cyclist, he was selected to represent his country in Montreal, Canada for that year’s Olympic Games.

This was definitely the highlight of his sporting career.

However, it was also to become a great learning curve regarding advancement in the world of international sport.

Perhaps the climax of his flying career came in the late 1980s when he was to have several chilling experiences of flying through typhoons while employed as a commercial airline pilot for Cathay Pacific based in Hong Kong.

Born in Bendigo in 1947, Ron was educated at the Coburg Primary School then following this, Coburg State High.

“Living in Coburg we were virtually raised within the shadows of the notorious Pentridge Jail - naturally a lot of locals were not happy to connect to this name, so people were careful to mention the name Coburg,” he said with a laugh.

Leaving high school, Ron enrolled in the Melbourne University to study engineering. However after a short time he took what was to be his first step in achieving one of his life ambitions, when in 1968 he received a cadetship with TAA - this would enable him to learn to fly the big ones.

Prior to this he had received a scholarship at university, and used some of the money to continue learning to fly, so by the time of the TAA cadetship he had chalked up some nineteen flying hours. This was to be a big help in his new career.

This was to be the beginning of a twenty-year relationship with TAA - a relationship that was to cement his love of flying.

During his mid-teens he had started running, but after watching his mates racing bikes he too started to ride.

At 15 he followed this by joining the Coburg Cycle Club, and for the next 17 years was to remain a member.

In this time he covered all aspects of competition, sprinting, track, road and endurance.

“I took part in all, but for me the big attraction was sprinting - it really grabbed me. Over the years the love of cycling really took hold and it was to become a big thing in my life. Apart from the challenge of competition I found that during my cadetship with TAA, a good session of training on the bike was indeed a great relief from the stress of flying and study.”

“WHILE ON LEAVE FROM CATHAY IN ’94, I VISITED NOOSA FOR THE TRIATHLON AND WHILE DOING SO INVESTED IN LAND AND NOW HERE I AM. RETIRED AND HAPPY.” For this young man, life on the bike had definitely become something of a two-way venture. One was the relief from stress and the second was his success in the world of competition. The latter was to lead to his selection in the Australian team for the Olympic Games.

The Olympics was without a doubt one of his life’s great achievements - but getting there was not easy.

“When I decided to get serious I indulged myself in a tough training regime. Weather permitting it involved six days a week - five with set routines and Sunday was a long slow ride. But for me my best move was when at 18 years of age I approached Harry Shaw and asked him to coach me.

“This was a relationship that was to last my entire career.

When we met he was 36 and had competed at state and national level. In fact Harry held the record for the fastest time from Melbourne to Shepparton for many years, a truly great achievement. He was then well on his way to becoming a coach of renown.”

The year 1973 was indeed a major year for Ron - two occasions that he will never forget.

That year he won his first ever national medal when he

won bronze at the titles in Hobart and the other was the loss of his father at the young age of 50 years.

“We were very close, I was devastated. However I knew I had to control it and move on; it wasn’t easy but I did.

Then I was named in the training squad for the ’74 Commonwealth Games; however after a while I knew I just wasn’t mentally set so I withdrew. I had a break for two and a half years, came back in ’75 and won the national sprint in ’76; this qualified me for the Canadian Olympics. It was a dream come true.”

However, for not only Ron but the entire Australian team, the Games were something of a disaster.

“Our medal tally was an embarrassment - from a team of 200 athletes we came home with just one silver and three bronze medals. We knew there had to be major changes in everything. All training and coaching had to be reviewed, but in particular the administration team definitely needed a 100 per cent change of attitude, and above all selection criteria had to be addressed.”

For the open inquiring mind, there will always be some positives amongst the negatives; and for Ron there were

two definite positives from the ’76 Olympic tragedies.

The first was that his sister Raelene carried the Australian flag at the opening ceremony and second was his further association, that was to last for years, with the legendary Australian sports medico Dr Howard Toyne.

“Doc Toyne (CBE, Hall of Fame and former member of the Noosa Heads SLSC) was one of the few who gave the athletes his total support - and we never forgot it. In the years ahead he did great things for Australian cycling. He was one in a million.

Luckily for us, Prime Minister Malcom Fraser got behind the movement for change and a lot of changes occurred. One was the commencement of the establishment of the Australian Institute of Sport, a vital step in the right direction.”

Then came his selection in the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton. This resulted in his winning a bronze medal when he teamed up with Stephen Goodall in the Men’s Tandem.

After finishing a 20-year career with TAA, Ron continued his love of flying, when in 1988 he joined Cathay Pacific.

As a result, he found himself based in Hong Kong; a base that was to become his home for the next 13 years. This change put him in the seat of different types of air craft and this involved more study, a study of the basic engineering aspect of the planes.

“Also,” he added with a laugh, “flying into Hong Kong was definitely different, as people who have visited would know.”

While working in Hong Kong and after a 10-year break from cycling, I started back on the bike with early morning rides for fitness. However I found I still had the bug and began to compete in the Masters.” And compete he did!

After arriving back in Australia he settled in Noosa and his involvement in the sport was again full on.

“While on leave from Cathay in ’94, I visited Noosa for the triathlon and while doing so invested in land and now here I am. Retired and happy.”

His involvement in Masters Competition has been nothing short of sensational. He has over a period of eight years won ten World Masters Titles as well as many Australian Nationals.

Perhaps the major achievements would be in 2007 World titles, 60-64 age division; four gold medals, being named Champion of Champions in his age group and World Masters Team of the Year For All Sports. Add to this, being named Australian Masters Athlete of the Year for All Sports. Indeed a year to remember.

Like many great champions he believes in putting back into the sport. This he does by coaching youth and fellow masters. Now two of his cyclists achieving big things are Jake van der Vliet, age 19 of Buderim, and Kaden Groves age 18 of Maroochydore - young men starting to draw attention.

From his days as a rookie cyclist to the Olympic Games: from flying light aircraft to flying as the captain on Boeing 747, Airbus A330 and Airbus A340 aircraft, with up to 460-plus souls on board, he is definitely living life to the fullest.

This was the life chosen by Ron Boyle. Definitely a life of high achievement and personal satisfaction. ● 12367805-ACM41-17

NEWS JUDGES LAUD TODAY TEAM

ROCKET LAUNCHERS GIVE POLICE A REAL BIG BANG Noosa Heads police have been in talks with the Australian Defence Force to hand over two M20 3.5 inch rocket launchers discovered last week by Noosa Shire Council waste management contractors Cleanaway.

Police were contacted by council which advised that diligent members from the council waste management department discovered the items while sorting waste retrieved from industrial bins within the Noosa Shire Noosa Eumundi Road area on 29 September. A quantity of ammunition was also located and handed to police.

Senior sergeant Ben Carroll said while the items were inert, it is concerning they were in the community. He said that type of weapon was still in use around the world in warfare, and the ADF would use them in training the troops.

Sen Sgt Carroll said the recent nationwide weapons amnesty which finished on 30 September saw 96 weapons surrendered to Noosa Heads police.

“The weapons ranged in type and included semi-automatic pistols and rifles, pump action shotguns, double barrel shotguns, bolt action rifles, air rifles and ammunition,“ he said.

One item of interest is a pistol capable of shooting 30 rounds.

Noosa Today featured prominently in the Queensland Country Press Newspaper Excellence Awards taking out the awards for Best Newspaper in its circulation category, Best Newspaper with two or less Journalists and Most Improved Publication at the gala dinner held in Redcliffe on Friday night.

Judges said: “It would compare well with most quality produced commercial magazines, photos jumped out of the pages and is exceptional quality for a newspaper.

This is a product, which truly was a pleasure to read“.

Noosa Today’s journalist Margie Maccoll was also awarded third place for Overall Excellence for an Individual Journalist for her coverage of the Johns Landing closure.

Judges said it was “well rounded, dispassionate coverage of a controversial issue. It could have been sensationalised but wasn’t and the community is better informed for it.“ Congratulations Margie!

Noosa Today's extra publication Noosa Shire Shines also won a Highly Commended award for Best Commercial Feature.

Journalist Hollie Harris says it is the result of hard work, a talented team and commitment to evolving.

“There are just eight of us in the office here and we all work very hard to bring this paper alive every week, right here in the heart of Noosa.

“It is so wonderful to see recognition for something we are all so passionate about and we will strive to keep growing and evolving alongside our beautiful Noosa Shire," Hollie said. ●

Senior Constable Tom Middleton is seen holding a semi-automatic pistol that was relinquished as he stands in front of 96 firearms surrendered to Noosa as part of the National Amnesty.

Noosa Heads police have 116 weapons ready for destruction which include courtrelated forfeitures.

There were 16,000 weapons surrendered across Queensland during the amnesty and more than 50,000 nationwide. ●

NEWS PENSION CARDS REINSTATED

ICONS TO OPEN DOORS The Pomona Railway Station Gallery, Majestic Theatre and Pomona Fire Station will be among 30 other Noosa and Sunshine Coast buildings open to the public on Saturday 21 October.

Celebrating public and private iconic buildings of architectural significance, the inaugural Sunshine Coast Open House event is held in conjunction with World Architecture Day. Current occupiers of participating sites are encouraged to share all areas of the building, including areas normally restricted to the public and help visitors learn more about the building’s history including their purpose for being built and their current use.

The Pomona Railway Gallery will open from 10am - 2pm over the 21-22 October weekend and feature photos of its original installation by crane. Originally, the Pomona Railway Station platform buildings were donated by Queensland Rail and moved to their current site.

Since opening in March 2001, the gallery has grown from two buildings to now five, creating unique spaces for creative art and crafts.

The Majestic theatre will open from 10am - 4pm Saturday 21 October and give visitors access to the green room for the first time, as

Tent House by Sparks Architects.

More than 800 local part-pensioners will have their Pensioner Concession Cards (PCC) reinstated from Monday 9 October and should have their cards within the next fortnight.

These former part-pensioners lost the card in January as a consequence of reforms to the pension assets test.

Those expecting a reissued card don’t need to do anything to receive it, it will be sent to them automatically.

They will also retain the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.

For more information, visit www. humanservices.gov.au/individuals/news/ pensioner-concession-card-reinstatement. ●

DEVELOPER DONATIONS BAN LIKELY well as provide a glimpse into its rare organ chamber which has been undergoing restoration for almost five years.

"The donated English Compton organ is one of only three in Queensland and the only one owned by a private theatre," said organist and volunteer restorer Don Clark.

"Momentum is building as it nears completion, and we have received inquiries from people around the world keen to see and hear it at the Majestic," he said.

Opened in 2015, the Pomona Fire Station boasts state-of-the-art facilities which include a two-bay drive through Engine Shed, training

room and office, outdoor training platform and RCR training pad (Road Crash Rescue). Its external finishes and design embrace the heritage character of the town and adjacent local heritage building. Visitors can meet fire officers and see the facility between 10am - 2pm on Saturday, 21 October.

The Butter Factory, Cooroy Lower Mill Site and the Cooroy Library will also feature among the properties which include private residences such as the Tent House created

by Sparks Architects in Noosa’s hinterland. For more information, visit www.sunshinecoastopenhouse. com.au ●

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said 31 recommendations handed down by the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) in the Belcarra report on integrity and corruption risk in local government included banning developer donations.

“Two of the report’s major recommendations are a ban on developer donations, and better means to deal with perceived conflicts of interest for councillors,” she said.

“I fully support both those recommendations.

“The CCC has made recommendations about councillors, candidates, donors and the role and powers of the Electoral Commission of Queensland.

“Queenslanders should have confidence in the transparency and integrity of all levels of government.”. ●

NEWS RIVER VIEWS GO ONLINE A new public Facebook site, Friends of the Noosa River and Lakes System, has been opened by fisherman Trevor Clarey as an open forum for input on the waterways.

Trevor wants people to post comments on political issues affecting the river, such as the impact of Noosa Council’s “soon to be released Noosa River Plan”.

“The restorating of prawn stocks in the Noosa River is yet another issue which may impact upon commercial fishermen and those thousands of rec-prawners who catch their feed of succulent Noosa River schoolie prawns,” he said.

Another issue of interest is the Elanda Point/Everglades development application with a proposed downgrade of 2.6 hectares of fish, he said.

Trevor doesn’t want the Facebook site to be just political.

Fed up with fishermen taking the brunt of blame for reduced seafood stocks in the river, Trevor is keen for historical records to be uploaded to the site as well as information on specific sites.

“I will be doing sections and photos of individual areas such as “Lucy’s Hole” behind the big bank in the top north eastern side of God’s garden known as Lake Cootharaba,” he said.

“And of course photos of family

“Let us give the world some genuine Noosa River history.”

The Facebook site can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ friends.of.the.noosa.river/ ●

A brush with cancer encouraged Sharon Lagden and her husband to dramatically alter their lives, moving from high-stress corporate living in Sydney to a healthier Noosa life.

Following a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in 2009, Sharon decided to toss in her IT job of 27 years and retrain to become a grief and loss counsellor to help other people dealing with breast cancer.

“My husband and I decided to de-stress our lives,” she said.

The couple moved to Noosa where they also run a limousine business and Air BnB. Sharon said their income had dropped considerably but they got by financially and were emotionally in a much better place.

Sharon joined the Wednesday morning paddle group at Boardwalk Boats for women with breast cancer 18 months ago and will participate in the upcoming Paddle in Pink cancer fund-raiser.

NEWS MUSICAL A FAMILY AFFAIR One of Noosa’s most talented musical families is gearing up for a huge week as Fiddler on the Roof comes to town.

The Little Seed Theatre Company will present the much-loved musical on 13 and 14 October at The J. The production is a family affair, with music directed by Connie Groves, daughter Heather is assisting director David Williams and son Clark taking centre stage in the principal role.

Set in Imperial Russia in 1905, Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of milkman Tevye, as he strives to maintain his Jewish traditions in a time of extraordinary change.

Connie, an acclaimed chorale director originally from the United States, spent 12 years as a high school music teacher in Orlando, Florida, before a stint backpacking around the world took her to outback Australia.

“I saw a wanted ad for a cook on a sheep station, and thought to myself: ‘I can make cheese on toast’.” She met her now husband, and has spent the last two decades teaching musical theatre and chorale music to children around Queensland.

“Last year, our production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat was light-hearted. But Fiddler is full of complex themes, challenging music and incredibly moving scenes. It’s a step up,” she says.

The performers will be accompanied by an orchestra, made up of professional adults and talented young musicians, some of whom are in the

Heather, Connie and Clark Groves Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra.

Connie says audiences can expect “the full orchestral experience”.

While Clark has performed in a host of productions before, including Guys and Dolls and Bye Bye Birdie, this is his first time taking centre stage.

At just 22, Clark is juggling a hectic rehearsal schedule and memorising a long script with the demands of running his own cafe, Paperboy Cafe, in Tewantin. Customers have been regaled with strains of “If I Were a Rich Man” as they order their daily coffee, he said.

Preparing to play Tevye has been gruelling, but “working with a large cast of young actors is both a challenge and a joy,” he said.

“I think the hardest thing has been growing a beard so that I look the part.“ Fiddler on the Roof is showing at The J on Friday 13 October at 6.30pm and Saturday 14 October at 1.30pm and 6.30pm.

Tickets are $30 for adults and $20 for concession, and are available from www.thej.com.au ●

FAITH OVERCOMES ALL FEARS Year 9 student Faith Roche at St Andrews Anglican College was one of six scholarship recipients recently selected to take part in Unleash the Power Within, a program held by the Tony Robbins Foundation, focused on empowering tomorrow’s leaders.

The intensive four-day program included a firewalk (crossing a bed of hot coals on foot), workshop and presentations on creating plans and strategies for life goals, while increasing health and energy levels along the way.

Faith, 14, said the experience was one she would never forget.

“Although the course covered a variety of topics including business, health and driving needs, the focus was on the idea of fear,” she said.

“We completed the firewalk on the first evening, which was a metaphor on how a change in state can allow you to use fears to your advantage and be in control. As the name suggests, it was about learning to unlock a fuller version of your life.” ●

NEWS

ADANI BARNEY People of all ages and walks of life including a few in wheelchairs made their way to Peregian Beach at 9am on Saturday to collectively say no to the establishment of the Adani coal mine in Queensland.

Local politicians failed to attend but more than 500 members of the community from across Noosa and the Sunshine Coast joined a countrywide Stop Adani National Big Day of Action.

Rally spokeswoman Vivien Griffin said the environmental battle was just as important as the Franklin River battle more than 30 years ago.

“We do not support taxpayers’ funds

being used to prop up the coal mining industry,” she said.

“Apart from climate change impacts and environmental destruction, Adani is getting special treatment from governments, including deferral of royalties which will shortchange the Queensland people an estimated $253 million and a proposed $1 billion loan from the Northern Australian Infrastructure Facility”.

Stop Adani Sunshine Coast collected signatures at the protest for a petition calling on the House of Representatives to reject the proposal for public funding of the Adani company. ●

People on Peregian Beach send a message.

Petitions were signed to stop taxpayer funds going to Adani.

Protestors displayed their messages.

Peregian Beach fills with protestors.

Many people brought protest messages.

People lined up on the beach to spell out Stop Adani.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT …

TOO MUCH WATER ON TAP Noosa Council has installed drinking fountains at Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park entrance and while it’s a great initiative, there appears to be more water wasting than drinking going on.

Fiona Avery of Eumundi wants to know if council tried them or observed them in use.

“Everyone I have seen using them holds in the push button until their bottle is full - as you would do for most taps or fountains,” she said.

“However these are designed to fill a 600ml from the time the button is released. So as soon as your bottle is full, another 600ml spills out onto the pavement while the push button releases - 600ml wasted every time.

“There is no signage to explain use, no

consideration that bottles come in many different sizes, and all this at a time when residents are running out of water, and there is talk of potential water restrictions."

TAKE A SEAT ... PLEASE There was much discussion a few weeks back when the much-loved seat was removed from Peregian Beach 52 (before it was replaced) but a burnt-out wreck of a seat left in the sand dunes at Peregian Village is an unwelcome addition.

This one was discovered on Saturday, only metres from where residents gathered to protest against the Adani mine and the environmental damage it could cause.

Was the chair an earlier protest perhaps? ●

NEWS CLASSICAL MUSIC, ENGLISH SLANT The Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra, a talented group of 22 string players, will perform at the Majestic Theatre, Pomona, at 2.30pm on Saturday 14 October.

The new committee managing the Majestic Theatre is proud to present the afternoon of classical music with a program titled English Landscapes with an emphasis on English composers including Holt’s “St Paul’s Suite” and Benjamin Britten’s “Simple Symphony.”

The guest soloist and conductor for this concert is the cellist, Louise King, who will play the Elgar piece, “Sospiro”.

Louise was educated in England and worked extensively in the UK, Europe and Asia with the BBC Philharmonic, the Hall Orchestra and the Hong Kong

Philharmonic Orchestra before coming to Australia in 2003.

Now based on the Sunshine Coast, she is an inspiring freelance concert artist and teacher.

For this concert, the orchestra has also commissioned a new work, “Arethusa’s Watering” by 22-year-old Brisbane composer, John Rotar. John has already established himself as an up and coming composer and has begun a PhD in Composition at the University of Queensland. He has also composed works for The Australian Voices, and is the Southern Cross Soloists’ Next Gen composer.

Tickets are $30, concessions $25 or $15 for under 18. For more information, visit www.gcco.com.au ●

WATER QUALITY TARGETS CHALLENGED Council has written to the State Government opposing proposed changes to Queensland’s legislated Water Quality Objectives.

Water Quality Objectives are targets agreed to by stakeholders. They’re intended to enhance and protect the environmental values of waterways

and they’re used as indicators of management performance.

Councillor Brian Stockwell said the state’s bid to set new water quality objectives based on water quality data from only the past 10 years would see existing protections diminished.

Council has raised these and other concerns in its submission to the state.

Noosa resident Beatrice Prost is in the running to win the $2000 prize money for Queensland, as well as the $10,000 prize money for Asia Pacific for the annual Cliftons Art Prize.

Now in its 16th year, Cliftons Art Prize is an annual competition helping raise the profile of local artists while providing new platforms for people to engage with art.

Cliftons Art Prize takes place across 10 locations: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Auckland, Wellington, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Beatrice’s piece, Urban Jungles, is a diptych print hand-carved on

brushed aluminium and depicts “finding poetry into what the future could be in a deeply urbanised place“.

Beatrice’s passion is to explore the ailing planet from a top-down environmentalist perspective, while in an opposite but complementary search using the details and finer beauties of everyday life in miniature to capture the delicate magic of the world directly around us.

Beatrice’s work will be on display at the exhibition of artworks, from 11 October to 15 December at Clifton’s Brisbane, Level 3, 288 Edward Street, Brisbane. The winners are decided by an international judging panel and the awards evening is on 30 November. ●

Enough said?

Safe Schools has an interesting connection to the Mayor of Rotherham in England, I suggest people who are interested look it up.

Geoff Lewis, Doonan.

S. Griffin states in their letter on 29 September “Another marathon on the cards". S. Griffin, we do not have a marathon in Noosa.

We have sporting events such as the triathlon, but not a marathon.

I was so excited to read that there may be one on the cards for Noosa. As a keen runner I spend a lot of money each year travelling to marathon events, as the only local event is the Sunshine Coast Marathon. My money spent in the marathon destinations helps the tourism economy there.

S. Griffin, if we do not encourage people to come to Noosa, we do not have a tourism industry which is what Noosa relies on. Unless you were born here, a great deal of us visited as a tourist at some stage in our lives and moved here.

You are concerned about road closures - a marathon generally has a six-hour cut-off to get the roads back working again - they are usually closed a few hours before the start.

Eight hours of a road closure for one morning. Is that so bad?

I live in the Noosa Outlook area and and St Andrews Drive has had road closures for nearly two weeks with roadworks - two weeks! I wasn’t consulted about this to check whether I was OK with it. I wasn’t even warned. You deal with it and work around it.

You will have plenty of notice if a marathon event was to occur in Noosa. Plenty of time to organise yourself to stay in or get out may be better for you to avoid the “invasion" as you so gracefully worded it.

Noosa people need to start looking at what this place relies on - tourism. Without tourism, so many people would not have employment and would have to leave. Maybe that’s what you want, S. Griffin?

Judy Senn, Tewantin.

laboration with all governments to be effective, criticise us increasingly loudly, for several years running? Australia is at odds with the rest of the world on refugee policy; countries seek to show decency and compassion to people in need of succour, but we don’t even try.

Keeping refugees offshore, out of sight from decent Australians, denying the press the right to witness what is happening, warning off workers in centres against reporting abuse, all of these are just a shameful way to disguise a shameful policy.

Eveline B. Goy, Tewantin.

DENIAL OF HOPE

Margaret Wilkie points out that the government’s refugee policy, by reducing people to mere numbers, is denying them freedom and hope. She is right.

Labor and the Greens did not cause the 1200 deaths at sea when refugees tried to reach Australia by boat. The reality is that hopeless people will grasp any means to escape their circumstances, no matter how dangerous. The risk of death is accepted by all of them from the beginning of the journey. The 65 million displaced persons in the world are proof of this. Refugees are a fact in our world today and Australia needs to accept this.

If this government’s policy were decent, why would the UN, which depends on col-

No sniping.

NOTHING NEW Syd E’s comments in his letter, “Why Protect Marriage”, specifically his point five regarding the cost to taxpayers in relation to increases in HIV, bowel and cervical cancer, STDs and damage to the rectum should SSM be legalised, border on ludicrous!

Same-sex relationships are not something new. They have been around for a long, long time. Rather than the incidence of all these ailments increasing, I would expect them to decrease once gay men were allowed to openly form a legally binding long-term monogamous partnership, thereby removing much of the need for promiscuity and, therefore reducing the spread of STDs etc.

Incidentally, for me the jury is still out on whether to legalise SSM. But, if we are going to have debate on the subject, let’s at least keep it mature and factual.

voices. Labor, LNP and One Nation politicians who support this environmental catastrophe must take heed of this clear message; the wider population don’t want this mine and certainly don’t want Adani being gifted public money for their FIFO airport and rail haulage infrastructure. In his response to the more than 3500 people who signed my earlier Sunshine Coast based petition against Adani, the ALP’s Resources Minister Dr Lynham disregarded the risk to the Great Artesian Basin and Great Barrier Reef from the world's largest coal mine. Instead he overstated employment prospects and failed to acknowledge the distinct possibility the Carmichael mine will become a stranded asset as worldwide, coal is seen as a dying industry and a poor investment in the era of clean renewable energy.

Some thoughts on the SSM debate.

It has been obvious for some time that the whole “human rights” machine aka the UN has been wanting to destroy the church. That is primarily what the whole thing is about, so I was not surprised to see two quotes: “The Speaker of the British House of Commons says 'proper equal marriage' won’t happen until the churches are compelled to obey by law."

“Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven

I refer to Brett Richards article 'Old World Views' - with the greatest of respect to Mr Richards he is not reading the sections of the Bible he has quoted in their complete context but simply picking out individual verses to support his view. There are verses prior to and after the quoted text that are relevant Leviticus 19:19 says: Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

It does not say woven with two kinds of material. It is important to note that the statute is not about mixing any type of thread.

Rather, specifically, it is the mixing of wool and linen. Deuteronomy 22:11 also says: Thou shalt not wear a garment of diverse sorts (Shah-at-nez), as of woollen and linen together.

The prohibition is to not weave wool and linen together into one garment for wearing.

From a hygienic point of view, wool and linen have opposing characteristics. Wool has an absorbing and shrinking nature, and retains heat while linen is resistant, nonshrinkable and is a good conductor of heat.

Woollen clothes are naturally worn to keep oneself warm, while linen is worn to keep oneself cool in warm weather. These conflicting tendencies neutralise each other and may cause disorder in connection with the outflow of perspiration from the body.

Also a mixture of wool and cotton will lose its shape.

He is attempting to make a mockery of Leviticus 19:19.

With respect to Leviticus 25:44-46 Mr Richards is using these passages in isolation to prove that slavery is condoned by the Bible. Has he read, Old Testament, Exodus 21:16 which clearly bans slavery. Whoever kidnaps someone, either to sell him or keep him as a slave is to be put to death. What about the New Testament, Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female - for all of you are one in Jesus Christ.

So here we have quotes from both the old and new Testaments - Mr Richards' claim is flawed.

With respect to Psalms 137:9, yes it is a little alarming when first read but this quote is found in one of the Imprecatory Psalms that speak of violence against the enemies of God. To “imprecate” means to “pray evil against,” and the imprecatory prayers in the Bible strike people today as strange or wrong.

It is important to understand the context of this verse and others like it.

The psalmist recalls both the disgraces of the Edomites (who looted Jerusalem) and the Babylonians who destroyed their capital city.

It is a cry for revenge by killing the infants of their enemies, not infants in a general sense.

The background is the Jewish people calling upon God to exact revenge upon their military enemies in this instance.

And finally Leviticus 15:19-20 he hasn’t revealed it because based on his previous interpretations he probably doesn’t know what it means.

ON THE COVER

SWEEPING DESIGN FOR GRAND LIVING SPACE, total privacy and peace prevail in this extraordinary, architect-designed home set among 81 acres of park-like grounds.

Tucked away down a long drive through open pasture, tall timbers and rainforest patches, lies a grand, yet unassuming, 470 square metre home surrounded by extensive lawns.

The residence was designed by Brisbane-based architect Richard Kirk to respond to its environmental conditions, and transition seamlessly from the designed landscape of the home to the natural bushland beyond.

This home is a vision of light and form where western red cedar, hemlock and rosewood timbers and glass engage with the tactile nature of travertine underfoot. The living and dining area is a grand gallery, with floor-to-ceiling doublestorey glass walls making the greatest work on display the northerly vista across the glorious countryside to Mount Tinbeerwah. Massive timber-framed sliding doors link the space to open terraces outside, with a 15m infinity lap pool.

Adjoining the open-plan living area, the kitchen features marble bench tops, custom-made cabinetry, Miele integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric and steam ovens, Vintec wine cooler and hydro tap. Separated by the living space, the family and guest wings can be accessed by separate entrances. A private stairway leads to the serene, totally secluded master bedroom retreat with ensuite, which sits atop a study and open, water courtyard.

Base Realtors success just keeps growing and the sales just keep coming for Ron after 30+ years of record breaking sales, selling some of the finest properties in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.

With this growing success Base Realtors have expanded with sales agents Michael Davey and Jacob May and sales and marketing specialist Sacha Vogelzang joining the team.

Son of Base Realtors principal Ron Davey, sales runs in Michael’s blood with the new sales agent saying a successful family background in the real estate industry led him to join the team.

“My family history inspired me to learn all aspects of property ownership and sales and expand the business through displaying my passion for helping people make smooth, confident and efficient transactions using collective local knowledge and the latest technology and marketing strategies,” he said.

The former competitive tennis player said he has always been passionate about real estate and property investment completing his first sales course at just 19 and soon becoming a mortgage broker on the Gold Coast. On joining the family business, Michael said he is “thrilled to be working with such a great team selling property in one of the most beautiful places in the world”.

After moving to Australia from Amsterdam to live with her partner Michael, Sacha said she is excited to join the Base team. The marketing and IT specialist will work alongside Michael to create new and innovative marketing strategies to maximise traffic to each unique property they sell.

“I have worked in various industries and fields from profit to non-profit and from IT consultancy to marketing.

When working in the IT consultancy industry in the Netherlands and working for a multinational, I knew it was time to do something different,” she said.

Sacha Vogelzang

Sacha, who loves to stay active with kickboxing, tennis and golf, said she has always been inspired by real estate, especially the stunning canal homes of Amsterdam.

“My love for the Sunshine Coast and more specifically the Noosa region has drawn me back to the area after spending so many years working interstate and abroad. I have learnt a lot about loyalty, teamwork, initiative and respect over the years and wish share these qualities with the team and more so with our clients. My focus is to deliver a seamless experience to our clients, to build strong relationships and deliver a service that stands out from the rest.”

“Over the years I have had a wide range of experience in various industries within the private and government sectors which have aided in the development of my management and organisational skills, that have become my strong points.”

After recently moving back to the Sunshine Coast after serving in the Australian Army at home and abroad, Jacob says he is excited to join a team who have a long and successful history in the real estate industry.

“I couldn’t be in a more positive and knowledgeable environment than I am in now and I look forward to succeeding in the industry.”

Jacob has a great love for surfing and says that “to be back on the coast and to be starting a career with an endless amount of opportunity, I couldn’t be happier.”

HOME FOCUS

ON THE RIVER IN PRESTIGIOUS ESTATE BUILD the luxury home of your dreams in an unbeatable location, complete with water frontage.

Set among the prestigious The Palms precinct within the award-winning Noosa Springs Golf Estate, this dual allotment of two level, 825 square metre lots has been pre-approved for subdivision.

In its current, undivided state, the massive 1650 square metre block would make the perfect site for a magnificent home with a north aspect, overlooking the stunning water course and the third and fourth fairways.

A three-metre-wide nature strip creates an extra open space from the adjacent block on the western side.

The established precinct, nestled beside the pristine Lake Weyba, is filled with luxurious, award winning, custom-designed homes within a secure, gated community.

It is just minutes from one of Australia’s top residential championship golf courses and resorts, an easy three kilometres from the Noosa Heads town centre.

Residents within the resort have access to the internationally-recognised spa, fitness centre, tennis court and stunning resort-style pool, as well as the clubhouse restaurant and function centre.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the setting and take in the abundance of local wildlife, or stroll along one of the precinct’s nature walks.

Subject to the completion of subdivision, the site is ready to build on, with all services available, including sewerage, storm water, town water, reticulated natural gas, power, telephone and NBN. It is no surprise this potential-packed parcel of land is tipped to be among the most desirable luxury home sites in the Noosa Shire. ●

STRONG INSIGHTS INTO LOCAL MARKET WITH decades of experience in the area, David Berns knows the local property market intimately. Strong interest from interstate buyers looking to relocate or invest is strengthening sales, but contemporary buyers are well-armed with extensive knowledge, he told Noosa Today's TESSA MAPSTONE in a quick Q&A on the state of the market and his boutique agency.

Very briefly, tell us about your property background.

I started my career 15 years ago at Ray White Eumundi in 2002 selling hotels, farms and residential. I then moved to Ray White in Doonan and became the fifth-best selling agent on the Sunshine Coast within a year. In 2011, I worked for C21 for three years selling high-end properties in the Noosa Hinterland. It has been a long and hard working road to get to the level of expertise I have but I have enjoyed every moment.

When did David Berns Real Estate come into existence?

We are now coming into our third year of business, launching in July 2015 as a stand-alone, independent agency and we haven’t looked back.

What makes your agency stand out from others?

The fact that we are an independent, boutique agency gives us the edge as far as personal customer service. Our credibility stems from strong local market knowledge, an impressive database and impeccable communication and negotiation skills.

It must be difficult juggling the many needs of vendors and buyers. What are some of the most important skills to have to ensure your clients get the outcome they are looking for?

Honest transparency is the key to any transaction. We don’t condition owners in the appraisal process, working from correct statistics only. Having a strong sales knowledge and matching buyer’s needs to their criteria.

We hear you have recently had some new agents coming on board. What can you tell us about them?

As we are growing fast we would rather take our time in picking the agents that we want to represent our brand. We want hard working ethical agents who are trained and have strong experience in the sales marketing and negotiating of properties for the sellers and buyers. Recently my wife, Meta Georgeson-Berns, joined our sales team after being instrumental in the set up of the marketing and operational side of the business from the onset.

Meta has spent many years in media sales and publicity so it seemed a natural progression for her to step into a sales role.

What changes have you seen in the property market in the Noosa area within the past decade?

I started in what we call a “down market” then watched the properties rise dramatically in value when the property boom hit in the early 2000s. Recently the global financial crisis buckled the property market up to 50 per cent in some areas creating a very depressed selling market.

The market has now improved dramatically and I would have to say this is the best I have seen it in years and am glad to see it lift out of a depressed market. The market is still strongly improving in sales, especially the prices achieved with strong interstate buyers still wanting to buy properties to live and/or invest in.

What do you see on the horizon for the real estate market in the region At this present stage we have a lot of buyers from interstate wanting to acquire properties. There is a lack of listings and I am seeing a lot of desperate agents going a lot higher in appraisal prices to try to gain the listings which can create poor performances for the owners trying to make decisions on selling. Of course the sensible owners are realising don’t believe all they hear as selling is still a strong process to get the desired results.

Buyers are now armed with an education of what properties have sold for and have an extensive knowledge on what they should be paying.

What’s one piece of advice you would offer to property owners looking to sell?

Look at the current trend in sales in your suburb, look for the experienced sales agent that gets results. Don’t listen to what you want to hear in appraisals, look at what the agent can provide in so far as knowledge. It is a big decision selling and one you need to make with a clear and concise head. ●

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING Dynamic Dave Delivers “David Berns was our real estate agent for the recent sale of our property in the Noosa Hinterland. David displayed an excellent knowledge of the local real estate market, and provided useful information to assist with the display and presentation of our property, and in terms of a suitable local conveyancing firm. David's credibility within the local market is derived from an impressive sales record, achieved over a number of years. David exhibited excellent communications skills throughout the sales process, keeping us up-to-date with progress, and with updates as the market evolved. David took the time to make saure we understood and were comfortable with terms and conditions relating to the sale, in particular the marketing aspects. The necessary paperwork was there on time when required. David's approach to marketing was to ensure our property received prominence on the various real estate web sites to gain maximum exposure with prospective buyers. David's attitude to sales is customer centric - finding a suitable balance between seller and buyer.”

Excellent!

“Heidi Woodman sold our house quickly and professionally just as she promised when we first met. From first meeting to settlement was about 3 1/2 months and we achieved the price we were seeking.

I would highly recommend Heidi if you are selling your house.”

Not Your Average Real Estate Agent!

“We bought through Heidi Woodman in September, and I have to say it was very different to previous sales. Mostly down to Heidi’s warmth and honesty. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with, kept a sense of humour and was very helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend her.”

Must see Dave “David has an Encyclopaedic knowledge of Doonan and Noosa hinterland.

He gets results in a competitive market.”

HIGHLIGHT HOME

AT ONE WITH THE LANDSCAPE STYLE and sustainability are combined in this near-new eco home in sought-after Sunshine Beach.

Constructed by renowned local builder Adam Dew, this beautifully-designed home is almost at one with the surrounding environment.

Light and bright, ceiling-to-floor glass doors and windows create space and open onto views of Noosa National Park.

Established native landscaped gardens surrounding the home and brand-new magnesium pool complete the bushland picture.

With its careful consideration of place and high-quality finishes, 18 Whale Drive is an architectural masterpiece.

Oversized eaves, soaring 3.6m high ceilings and louvre windows keep the home cool and open, and brush box timber floors create a beach house feel.

The high-quality kitchen features stainless-steel benchtops and fully-integrated European Miele appliances and a Qasair rangehood.

A home for indoor/outdoor living, the durable iron bark timber decks extend living space into the glorious surroundings.

This home is packed with sustainable features.

With LED lighting, a 2.5 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system, solar hot water, sustainable paint and glass technology and a rainwater tank - with a mains water supply to offer peace of mind during dry seasons - the thoughtful design of this home considers the environment it sits in as well as energy costs.

The Jack Boyd pool’s fully-automated in-floor cleaning system and native trees and shrubs require little maintenance, and the home’s lock and leave design ensures there is nothing to do but enjoy the retreat or wander to Sunshine Beach village for coffee or fine dining.

It’s a mere 300m along the boardwalk through the nature reserve to the beach, and the outdoor hot-water shower beside the pool is the perfect place to rinse off after a dip in the ocean or a morning surf.

Time to secure this private home nestled in bushland is running out, with informal tender closing on Thursday 12 October. ●

THE Sunshine Coast’s architecture has become the subject of international renown and now locals have the chance to go behind-the-scenes on some of the most iconic local buildings.

Thirty historic and contemporary buildings from Caloundra to Pomona will be opened for the public to tour as part of the inaugural Sunshine Coast Open House event.

The free event offers a rare opportunity to discover architecturally-diverse and well-designed buildings, and highlights the growth and innovation within the industry on the Sunshine Coast over the past 50 years.

Get a feel for life inside the nowfamous, multi-award-winning Tent House, built at Verrierdale last year and now nominated for the Australian Institute of Architects’ national award for new residential architecture (house), take a peek inside Maroochydore’s big green Mike Ahern commercial centre or stroll through the Glass House Mountains’ oldest remaining house and heritage-listed property Bankfoot House.

These remarkable pieces of architecture will be open to the public for free on 21 October, with six buildings running pre-booked tours only. Bookings opened online on 11 October at sunshinecoastopenhouse.com.au To launch the inaugural Sunshine Coast Open House, six leading local architects will discuss how local architecture has become internationally renowned for casual, climate responsive design embedded in nature.

John Mainwaring, Lindsay Clare, Ian Dimond, David Teeland, Dan Sparks and John Robertson will bring different experiences and design ideals to the discussion.

Bankfoot House Heritage Precinct was once a lunch stop and staging post for Cobb and Co. coaches on the Brisbane to Gympie goldfields route. It provided accommodation for travellers and served as the post office.

They will review the design challenges faced by builders and architects 50 years ago in 1967, when the Sunshine Coast region was given its name, and predict what challenges designers will face in the coming 50 years.

There will be also be a discussion on how Sunshine Coast architecture has evolved since the 1960s and the design possibilities for our changing sub-tropical urban lifestyle in the future.

The panel discussion will be adjudicated by Phil Smith, chair of The Creative Alliance and local architect and urban designer, who has a passion for creating better communities.

Tickets for the panel discussion - to be held at The Majestic Theatre, Nambour on 14 October, from 3pm - are free, and available from sunshinecoastopenhouse. com.au ●

THREE … ways to keep good tenants ONE of the most important parts of investing in a rental property is keeping good tenants in the house.

They are the tenants who pay their rent on time, respect and maintain the property and repair any damage they cause.

But holding onto good tenants long term is not always easy.

Here are three tips to help landlords keep the tenants they love in the home they have invested in.

RENTAL HOTSPOT IN NOOSA

BY TESSA MAPSTONE A NOOSA suburb has been listed among the seven hotspots across the country for investors buying homes to rent with an outlay under $600,000.

House prices in Tewantin have increased by 10 per cent over the past year to an average of $517,000, vacancy rates have dropped 0.5 per cent (from 1.7 per cent to 1.2 per cent), and housing supply has dropped 31 per cent in the past 12 months.

Home to many locals who own businesses or work in Noosa with its booming local and international tourism market, and only five minutes walk to

Noosa Marina, Mozo Property tipped Tewantin as a prime location that remained affordable as an investment.

Investing in rental homes now accounts of one-third of all Australian property investment buys, adding up to a whopping $202 billion in loans, according to the national comparison website, so buyers would naturally be looking for the best place to put their dollars.

Steve Jovceski from Mozo Property said there were some key factors to assess when looking for an investment property.

“Vacancy rates will provide you with an idea of rental demand,” he said.

“The lower, the better.

“Be sure to crunch the numbers on

your mortgage versus the rental returns in the suburb you are looking to invest in, as ideally, the rent will cover the majority of the mortgage.

“The key to a sound property investment is to assess the numbers, rather than making it an emotional decision as to whether it’s a home that appeals to you.

“A strong yield is a solid indicator as to whether you’re making a quality investment and a drop in housing supply can indicate that prices will rise.

“It is always a good idea to do your research; assess surrounding suburbs to gain an idea of housing trends.” ●

BY HOLLIE HARRIS Music, rock and theatre are not what you would usually expect to find at a film festival, but the upcoming Noosa International Film Festival features two music on film performances, adding a new frequency to your cinema experience.

Men of Wood and Foam explores the fascinating story of the birth of the Australian surfing boom. A documentary made by Noosa filmmakers Phil Jarratt and Shaun Cairns, the film uncovers a golden decade, starting in 1956, when surfing was transformed into a sport and culture with its very own music, movies, fashion and heroes.

Using in-depth interviews with the principal characters as its base, Men of Wood and Foam uses rarely seen archival footage and interviews with many of the leading surf personalities of the day to tell this important story before it is too late.

Bringing the sounds of the pipeline to life are Sunshine Coast musicians, Band of Frequencies who crafted the original soundtrack and will perform live before and after the film.

The Band of Frequencies has been one of the most diverse outfits in Australia for more than a decade, incorporating acid rock, modern jazz and funk into an amazing repertoire of original music.

Men of Wood and Foam screens at The J on Saturday 28 October at 8pm with a live jazzy set by Band of Frequencies.

Also adding a new beat to the film festival is local band HoneyBird, performing a full throttle live rock opera against the 1927 silent classic film, Metropolis.

HoneyBird plays Metropolis in a multi-faceted live production incorporating a full band and string quartet, interfaced with an updated narrative arc for the film by Ian Golding.

Metropolis by Fritz Lang takes place in a highly stylised futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners.

The Metropolis score was developed by HoneyBird and reimagines the artistic vision and striking meaning of the film.

The highly theatrical work draws parallels to issues of poverty and conflict, power and greed, and political themes as they play out today.

HoneyBird plays Metropolis performs at the Eumundi School of Arts Hall, 3.30pm on Sunday 29 October.

The Noosa International Film Festival runs from 26-29 October, and features 100 films, workshops and special events. For the full program and tickets visit www.niff.com.au. ●

Judas, by Fozzy

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, by Grace Lin

Three Summers Starring: Rebecca Breeds, Robert Sheehan, Michael Caton, Kelton Pell

Having long shed the classic metal covers gimmick, Fozzy have gradually shifted towards slick, accessible hard rock with an eye fixed on US rock-radio playlists.

If you like your riffs (courtesy of perennially under-rated Rich Ward) with a chaser of melody, Fozzy have you covered. Singer Chris Jericho also infuses his considerable energy. It yields some groove-heavy, memorable cuts; the title track and Drinkin With Jesus contain hooks big enough land Moby Dick. Some of the vocal effects and danceable inclinations can be distracting, and there’s a little filler.

Three Days In Jail’s guest rapping feels jarring, too. Overall, a solid affair. ●

Wednesday 18 October Villa Noosa 8pm Jimi Jackson.

Grace Lin, author of the beloved Year of the Dog and Year of the Rat, returns with a wondrous story of happiness, family, and friendship.

A fantasy crossed with Chinese folklore, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is a timeless adventure story in the classic tradition of The Wizard of Oz. Minli spends her days working hard in the fields and her nights listening to her father spin fantastic tales about the Jade Dragon and the Old Man of the Moon.

She embarks on an extraordinary journey to find the Old Man of the Moon and ask him how her family can change their fortune, with a dragon who accompanies her on her quest. ●

He’s an Australian citizen, has sold millions of books worldwide but didn’t make a list of top West Australian writers because he’s “a Pom” and yet Ben Elton seems to have written and directed a little slice of Australian life and culture.

Set over three years at a fictional annual folk festival in West Australia, Three Summers is the story of festivalgoers and performers meeting each year, growing and changing - and for two of them, falling in love.

Its leanings are slightly political, but above all it is a feelgood movie that is pretty darn funny. ●

WHAT’S ON KARIN SCHAUPP AND THE BEAT Bringing together two of Australia’s finest and most expressive instrumentalists for its final 2017 concert, the Noosa Music Society presents the critically acclaimed collaboration of Karin Schaupp (guitar) and Umberto Clerici (cello) with a program exploring song throughout the ages.

How better to describe a story, as an emotional journey, than with songs? Music can say and hide more than a simple written text.

This programme uses song arrangements to take the audience on a journey through life, from childhood to a reflection on death and all that comes in between - love, jealousy, family, illness, joys and battles.

The music will come from five centuries

STECKEL TURNS UP THE AMPS

of music, from the Italian Renaissance to the present day - from the simple beauty of the naive lullabies by Britten to the Jewish reflection on death with Ravel’s Kaddish, all re-conceived for cello and guitar.

The concert is at The Good Shepherd Lutheran Centre and commences at 4.30pm.

Tickets are $40 each for adults and student concession tickets at $10 each are available now at www.thej.com.au or The J Box Office Noosa Junction or ph 5329 6560.

IT’S JUST A JUMP TO THE LEFT ...

While driving home during a rain-filled night, straight-laced lovebirds Brad and Janet, by chance, end up at the castle of one Dr Frank-N-Furter and his strange and bizarre entourage, and find that he’s having a party.

This is no ordinary party, no ordinary night. This is the unveiling of the Dr’s latest creation: Rocky - a man-made Adonis that will give ... absolute pleasure.

Starry Nights Outdoor Movies presents sci-fi musical comedy The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Eumundi Drive-in at the Eumundi Showgrounds on Friday 13 October.

Come along for a night of cult classic good times under the stars - with just enough spook to make it perfect for a Friday the 13th night out!

Cars limited to 150-ish spaces. To guarantee your spot, you can pre-book your tickets at www.ticketebo.com.au/starrynights. Walk-ins also welcome.

Cost: $25 per car or $10 per person for walk-ins.

BONDING OVER ’THE CHANGE’ Get ready ladies, Menopause the Musical is coming to The J! Set in a department store, four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra on sale, come to find they have more to share than ever imagined.

The cast makes fun of their woeful hot flushes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges.

A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realise that menopause is no longer “the silent passage”, but a stage in every woman’s life,

American blues/rock powerhouse and guitar sensation Eric Steckel is heading to The Imperial Hotel Eumundi for what is sure to be a helluva gig on Saturday 14 October.

Hailed by many as the top rising star of blues/rock, he delivers a powerhouse performance that has left audiences in 22 countries (and counting) mesmerised.

In an era where pedal-boards, laptops and samples have become commonplace, Eric goes against the grain and harkens his listeners back to the days when great guitars were played loudly through great amps.

He brings an energy and passion to the stage that never disappoints and is a must-see for fans of vintage guitar rock.

On his latest studio album 'Black Gold' Eric takes listeners on a musical rollercoaster ride that embodies the human spirit and captures the emotions of daily life.

His most diverse album to date, fans of vintage guitar rock will immediately fall in love with Black Gold.

From soft, dynamic blues ballads to heavy, low-tuned rock anthems, Eric’s signature guitar style is front and centre.

No pedals, samples or drum machines.

No apologies for turning it up to 11. This is rock the way they used to make it.

Road-tested and seasoned from 19 years on stage and in the studio, yet young enough to deliver the passion and

TOP DROPS GO DOWN WELL

BY HOLLIE HARRIS Locale Noosa is set to host an intimate wine lunch with guest host and chief winemaker of Craggy Range, Matt Stafford showcasing some of the winery’s top drops.

The intimate four-course menu will be expertly matched with a premium selection of wines from Craggy Range, a family owned, award-winning New Zealand winery.

Chief winemaker Matt Stafford is responsible for the entire Craggy Range

wine portfolio, an honour he holds with pride as he works to the company’s ambition of being an equal in the fine wine world and creating an enduring family legacy.

Matt boasts an impressive resume, including receiving the Air New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year in 2007, and celebrating his tenth vintage with the winery in 2015. Matt explained his interest in winemaking stemmed from an affinity with the land and a desire to better understand its power and capabilities.

“I love our great estates and feel a strong

connection to their complexities and subtleties,” he said.

“Our craft is one in which the learning experiences are endless yet we can convey what we have learnt each year in a bottle of wine and share this wine with people the world over.”

Locale Noosa’s head chef Andy Davies has crafted an impressive menu to complement the five Craggy Range wines to be sampled during the lunch event.

The menu starts with BBQ Tasmanian octopus served with nduja, chickpeas,

radicchio, pickled kohlrabi , and parsley oil, before moving onto the second course of Fraser Isle spanner crab, squid ink tagliolini, pistachio, basil, and lemon butter. The third course is grilled de-boned free range spatchcock, with king oyster mushroom, woodland sorrel, and celeriac puree, followed by cheese platters and petit four.

INGREDIENTS 600g rindless pork belly, sliced into 6-8mm thick strips Salt flakes 6 brioche rolls Sriracha mayo GLAZE 100ml kecap manis 100ml malt vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil 100g brown sugar 50g smoked paprika 1 tablespoon chilli flakes 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon mustard powder 1 teaspoon onion powder SLAW 1/4 red cabbage, shredded 1 large beetroot, julienned using a mandoline 1 Granny Smith apple, julienned using a mandoline 1/2 bunch fresh continental parsley, leaves coarsely chopped 1/4 bunch fresh coriander, leaves picked

THEFEED.NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

1/4 bunch mint, leaves torn Zest and juice of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste METHOD Step 1 Light a wood or charcoal fire, or preheat the barbecue on high.

Step 2 Add all the glaze ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add the pork, making sure the slices are well covered in the glaze, and set aside for 30 minutes or so.

Step 3 When you’re ready to cook, place all the slaw ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine.

Step 4 Once the flames have died down and the coals have a coating of white ash, grill the pork for about 2 minutes on each side. The glaze should caramelise a bit, which is when things start to get mouth-watering. Season pork well with salt as it comes off the grill.

Step 5 Slice the rolls in half and give them a light toasting on the grill.

Step 6 Smear a generous amount of sriracha mayo on the bases of the rolls. Add a good handful of slaw and then the pork. Close with the roll lid and serve immediately.

SOCIAL SCENE

MARKET’S A ROARING SUCCESS A never-ending line of market-goers bought their groceries or artworks, listened to music, had a coffee or watched a celebrity chef in action at the first Cooroy Farmers and Artisans Market held on Saturday.

Local chef Matt Golinski picked up fresh fish and salad ingredients from local stallholders before cooking up an Asian fish salad in front of onlookers.

“This was five minutes walking around the market, putting everything on the table and sorting it out. That’s exactly how I like to shop,” he said.

Market organiser Danielle Taylor said the support from the community had been “fantastic”.

“There’s been thousands of people coming through. Some stalls sold out,” she said.

The rain kept away but grey skies and cooler weather made for a comfortable wander around the markets. ●

ROLL OUT THE BARRELLS The rain moved Kin Kin’s Oktoberfest from the General Store to the local hall but it didn’t put a dampener on festivities.

Organiser Jodie Williams said the Brew Masons brought along their specially prepared batch of Vienna Lager and “everyone had a ball”. ●

A good night was had by all.

Here's cheers to the Bavarian maids.

New research by beyondblue shows most people are unable to identify the most common mental health issue in Australia.

A survey reveals two in three Australians believe depression is the most common mental health condition in the country.

Only 13 per cent correctly identified anxiety conditions as Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prevalent mental health issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In any given year, more than two million Australians will experience anxiety, double the number who experience depression.

One in four Australians will experience an anxiety condition at some stage in their life,â&#x20AC;? said beyondblue CEO Georgie Harman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all feel anxious sometimes, but when those feelings are long lasting, overwhelming and unusually focused on the worst case scenario, these can be signs of an anxiety condition.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Today beyondblue launches its new Know When Anxiety is Talking campaign, which is designed to assist people to recognise the symptoms of anxiety and seek support.

New research by beyondblue reveals that 37 per cent of those who sought professional support for anxiety had been experiencing symptoms for longer than 12 months before getting support. Almost one in five waited longer than six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine spending years of your life expecting the worst to happen every single day. Imagine the experiences you might have had, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been receiving treatment and support and were managing your condition rather than dismissing it. Imagine the things you could achieve if you were in control of your anxiety, rather than anxiety being in control of you,â&#x20AC;? Ms Harman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point is you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait or

wonder. Support is available and research tells us that it works.â&#x20AC;?

Other findings from the survey of 1400 Australians include: ¡ 93 per cent of those who had professional support found the support useful. ¡ 40 per cent didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek help initially because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think their issues were serious enough. ¡ 23 per cent thought they would recover without support. ¡ 41 per cent of people think others believe anxiety is not a real medical condition. ¡ One in three people endured symptoms for 12 months before recognising their problem as anxiety and a further one in six took six years or more to spot the signs.

The signs of anxiety include: ¡ Excessive worrying about things that could go wrong. ¡ Racing mind that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t calm down. ¡ Feeling tense or on edge. ¡ A racing heart. ¡ Shallow or rapid breathing. ¡ Sleeping problems. ¡ Avoiding situations that make you feel anxious.

You can check your own anxiety; visit: www.beyondblue.org.au/anxietychecklist There are number of ways you can manage or irradicate your anxiety so contact a mental health professional through beyondblue Support Service via phone 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 or via www.beyondblue. org.au/get-support for online chat (3pm12am AEST) or email responses within 24 hours. â&#x2014;? noosatoday.com.au

FRIDAY FORUM Guest speaker at Noosa Parks Association’s Friday Environment Forum on 13 October will be Noosa Council Environment Officer, Jan Maddin.

As a result, issues such as a speed limit review, rehabilitation of degraded stream banks and wetlands and a voluntary Code of Practice for Noosa’s commercial boatmen were put in place. In 2014 Noosa Council assumed management of river issues and sought input from a Community Jury of local residents and ratepayers. Recently a new Noosa River Plan (2017), which heralds a contemporary era of catchment management in Noosa has been developed.

Join the audience at the Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville, to hear Jan Maddin who will provide expert insight into the 2017 Noosa River Plan.

BY RON LANE This weekend the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club will play host to the biggest Rugby 7s event in Australia. Known as the New Social 7s Event, it will provide for 90 teams (1800 players) playing over three days. The program will also cater for school boys and girls aged from under-14 to under-18.

The Noosa Dolphins will have four Australian internationals and a Fiji team will have four Olympic gold medalists.

The purpose of these guests is to help develop young players. Dolphins have extended a sincere thanks to sponsors; IGA Marketplace, Tourism Noosa, Mati Sports, Noosa Surf Club, ATF Fencing, Seachange Resort, Zinc 96.1, Noosa Today, Kennards Hire and Noosa Council.

“Without their support this event would be virtually impossible,” Dolphins club president Donald McKill said.

First games will kick off on Friday at 11am; these being the school teams, with some travelling from as far away as

Noosa District State High School Year 11 student Lachie Proctor won silver at the Queensland State Boxing Titles over the school holidays.

Lachie will represent Queensland in future boxing tournaments in the 69kg division.

Lachie’s family and the NDSHS community are very proud of this talented young man’s sporting prowess. ●

is still a strong connection between these clubs with many Noosa clubbies playing and working for the mighty Dolphins.

Good to see the Gympie ladies team known as the Gympie Hammers lining up for the tournament.

With a total of $25,000 prize money and 90 teams on the registration list, a great weekend of rugby is assured. This is yet another great sporting achievement for the Noosa Community; this time compliments of Noosa Dolphins. ●

One member of Division 8, Ian McCallum, couldn’t play in the final as he was born on the same day 80 years ago and a big celebration had been planned before final was decided. All pennant teams played well in both ladies and mens.

The Division 3 Mens side, who were runners-up, have been invited by the district to take part in the District finals on11-12 November. This is a really good outcome for this team who came close to winning the pennant title going down by a few shots only in the final. ● noosatoday.com.au

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

Super snapper Fenna De King captured the last gasp of the swell on the points.

Mark Sharp on the tip and threading through the holiday crowd.

GREAT TO BE HOME NOW FOR A QUICK WHINGE! Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but jeez it’s good to be back home!

I stepped off the plane - after nearly two months away - right into some muchneeded rain and some desperately needed swell. Someone must have told Huey I was coming, because I’m told there hadn’t been a wave on the Noosa Points since I left town, but there they were, marching across the bay and into First Point for a couple of midweek pearler sessions - glassy, warm water and the crowd within reason for the most part.

But just in case you think I’ve got the god of surf in the palm of my hand, I’ve got to duck across the pond for a week mid-month, and the long-range forecast is showing a pumping swell that starts the day I leave and finishes the day I get back.

And as much as I love Noosa, I have to say that it was disappointing to find our beautiful Dog Beach in much the same sad state we left it in, with massive erosion taking out half the beach and closing the bush trail at the western end, and the walkway sinking into the sand at the other end.

Given how little swell we’ve had over the winter months, the erosion must be caused by other factors, one of which might be the fact that the deep water channel to and from the bar now runs about 25 metres off Dog Beach, and its shores are subjected to fierce wake waves all day, every day.

Apart from the damage this appears to be causing on the beach, the speed at which boats negotiate this stretch of water is a serious accident waiting to happen.

Nikki Van Dijk making history in Portugal.

Picture: WSL

Swimmers (often with their dogs) now make the crossing to the long sandbar that reveals itself on the half-tide at their peril, since power boats and jet skis treat this smooth water as a speedway.

Last weekend we watched the Coast Guard almost get swamped by a stink boat in a tearing hurry to get to sea.

So what is the speed limit for boats and personal water craft in the lower river?

Well, for 65 days - all of December and January and five days of Easter - a six knot, no wake limit applies to all sections, but for the other 300 days, outside of Noosa Woods and the canals, the rules are very hazy indeed.

The 2009 Noosa River Marine Zone regulations say the PWCs are allowed to use the lower river to “transit” from the hire station to beyond the bar, but doesn’t mention at what speed.

Outside of holiday periods, boats can travel at up to 20 knots, although a six knot limit applies within 30 metres of “people in the water” for boats and 60 metres for PWCs, regardless of what the signage says.

By my reckoning, that means a permanent six knot limit should apply in the channel the length of Dog Beach.

According to Maritime Safety Queensland, there are “penalties and onthe-spot fines for exceeding a speed limit”, but in all my stand up paddle excursions on the river and around the Frying Pan, I’ve never seen anyone get busted outside of the holiday period. You can pretty much get

away with anything, as the bloke who nearly swamped the Coast Guard last Sunday showed.

I’ve been following the career of Nikki Van Dijk with some interest these past few years since interviewing her during her rookie year on the women’s world tour.

Frankly, it was obvious she was going to get her maiden tour win sooner rather than later.

She comes from a strong Phillip Island surfing family, and learnt her chops in heavy water, which makes her a particular danger in the unpredictable Atlantic, where last week she dispatched ratings leader Sally Fitzgibbons and then three-times world champ Carissa Moore in the final to take out the Cascais Women’s Pro in choppy, tricky conditions that Portugal can put out on occasion.

What I didn’t know was that in taking the win, Nikky became the first Victorian of either sex to win a world tour event since Tony Ray won the Lacanau Pro in France in 1992.

In disbelief, I called my friend Rod Brooks, himself a multiple Victorian champion back in the day, and father of two great surfers in Troy Brooks and the late Shaun Brooks.

“Nuh,” said Brooko. “Troy won a few QS events and made it to the quarters, but no titles.”

So Nikki would have been the toast of San Remo for a minute last week, if she hadn’t had to race up the coast to Hossegor for the start of the Roxy Pro France, where sadly she went from hero to zero in the space of two heats, getting bundled out equal last in near-perfect conditions.

Nikki’s win at Cascais rocketed her into fifth position on the leaderboard, but the early exit in France will see her drop back a place or two again.

But you’ll be hearing more from this tough 22-year-old. It won’t be this year, but a world title is within her grasp.

Nev pitch perfect at Palace Firewire founder Nev Hyman was one of two Queenslanders who last week won the right to pitch their start-ups to a global audience in London in December.

Nev and his Nev House affordable housing project will join Alisha Geary, creator of active-wear brand Faebella at Pitch@Palace Global, following their wins in Australia.

Founded by the Duke of York in 2014, Pitch@Palace provides a platform to amplify and accelerate the work of entrepreneurs.

Nev, a legend of Australian surfboard shaping, will build a recycled plastic Nev House on the beach during the Laguna Real Estate Festival of Surfing next March, as part of the festival’s sustainability program.

More about this in coming weeks. ●

SOFTBALLERS SWING INTO TOP GEAR NOOSA SOFTBALL The new season of Noosa Softball is in full swing with boys and girls from 4-17 years playing friendly competition on Saturday at the Noosa District Softball Grounds in Tewantin.

Two weeks of round-robin matches were played before the school holidays, and the full competitive season will now be played every Saturday morning until March, with a break over the Christmas holidays.

Boys and girls play the non-contact sport in Little League, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17 divisions, with three clubs - Dodgers, Slammers and Redsox fielding teams in all divisions.

About 30 young boys and girls are enjoying Little League where they learn the basics of softball with fun skills and drills before playing a mini-game and getting parents involved.

Under 15s started the morning’s competitive matches this week, with Dodgers 1 defeating Slammers 10-7. Will sent two batters back to the dug-out with great fly-ball catches.

In Under 13s, Slammers defeated Redsox 10-3.

The friendly rivalry of the Under 17s

kept spectators entertained.

Great pitching, especially from Dylan and Ethan, made the batters’ job tough, and quality fielding by both teams didn’t make things any easier for the batters.

The Under 17s competition includes State representative players Shinai Gibbins (Queensland Under 19s) and Dylan Todd (Queensland Under 17s). Other Noosa-based players who were chosen in the Queensland Under 17 Boys team are Riley Murrihy and Charles Scheffe congratulations to all players.

Beginners and experienced players of all ages are still welcome to join teams for Saturday games which are played at the Noosa District Softball Grounds in Tewantin at the same time every week Little League from 8.30-9.30am, Under 13s from 10.15-11.30am, Under 15s from 8.309.45am, and Under 17s from 10.15-11.45am.

Seniors and Masters play in the afternoon.

Club shirts are provided to players, and equipment including bats, gloves and helmets is available if needed.

Training is held at the grounds after school from Monday to Thursday. If you are interested in playing, please email noosasoftball@gmail.com. ●

SEASON OFF TO CRACKING START AS BAD LIGHT HALTS PLAY

BY RANDALL WOODLEY All the four Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club (TNT) senior teams started the season last Saturday playing two-day matches.

The First Grade team, playing at Read Park, are in a strong position after day one and the Fourth Grade should gain a first innings win next Saturday.

Firsts - When the umpires called a halt to play due to bad light at 4.30pm, the Maroochydore Swans were 0/8 in reply to TNT’s first innings score of 9 declared for 208. Losing the toss, the home side were sent in to bat on a pitch that showed life early. After losing an early wicket, patient batting by Cody Rzseszkowski (22) and Ben Gear steadied the ship. Ben Gear was the rock of the innings and partnerships of 40 with Jarrod Officer (21) and 90 with Lachie Gunner (48) built the score towards 200.

Ben was out late for 93 in the fading light and deserved his ton. Maybe next match.

Stephen Shaw declared the innings closed on 9 for 208 and gave his spinners, Cody Rzseszkowski and Nick Bennett, three overs to take some wickets. A number of appeals were turned down and the day finished with TNT in a good position for a first innings win next Saturday.

Seconds - This team, captained by Chris Wright, is a mixture of experienced players and some “young guns”. They played Maroochydore and learnt some valuable lessons during the afternoon. Facing a very accurate bowling attack, the TNT boys were all out for 81 with top scorers, veteran Jason Toohey 36 and Reid Campbell 24.

When TNT took to the field their young bowlers, lacking experience, were far too inconsistent. The Swans’ batsmen punished the bad balls and they scored 1/101 in 14 overs before declaring with a small lead.

At stumps TNT were fighting back and it is hoped next Saturday the whole team can improve on their performance.

Thirds - The match against Yandina was played at Dale Officer Oval (Tewantin).

The team, captained by David Baker, had 46 NOOSA TODAY

Although the opposition scored well, the pleasing feature was that TNT the bowlers kept giving all day in a disciplined display.

Wickets were spread with Kieran Dunning ending with 3/43, and Harry Wilkinson 2/27. Single wickets to Duncan Stone, Kent Officer, Corey Flood and Jye Baker. On a positive note for the team and the club is that the vast majority of the overs were bowled by players under 18. Next week it will be a huge run chase but with a long batting line up, it is achievable.

Fourths - This is made up of most of

last year’s team which won the 5th Division Premiership. This season they have been upgraded and are positive they can bring home the cup again. Playing Nambour on their ground, the TNT boys bowled them out for 142. Best bowlers for TNT were Graham “Chappy” Chaplain 6/45, Naveen Chand 3/12 and Justin Latimer 1/16 (plus two catches). TNT batted in fading light to be 2/79 at stumps. Not out batsmen were Michael Sobey 42 and Craig Moore 19.

Partnerships win games, and with that in mind the team is confident of a first innings win next Saturday. ●

BETWEEN THE FLAGS

RON LANE

NIPPERS IS MORE THAN JUST TRAINING If Sunday morning Nippers was to be used as an indication of the future of lifesaving in Noosa community, things are indeed looking good.

But Noosa isn’t the only club to be thriving.

Over the hill at Sunshine Beach, numbers are slightly up on last year and in the words of senior club president Craig Law, “We are still holding strong and all indications are for a good season.”

Next weekend the annual Rainbow Beach Nipper Carnival will be held and if this follows previous years it will be another success.

On Saturday morning while on radio patrol at Noosa’s Main beach, I experienced a great example of just how beneficial the Nipper movement can be.

One of the young ladies on our patrol was 19-year-old Grace Anisimoff and after discussing lifesaving in general, I was amazed to learn that this delightful young lady was in her twelfth year, having joined as an Under 8 Nipper.

Regarding her career path, she at present spends part of the year working as a ski instructor in Canada and in the off season can be found at home in Noosa with the family.

Her father Tony is a former patrol member and both her mother Sarah and 17-year-old brother Rupert are on the patrol roster; in fact her mother was a former

Lana Rogers in action. highly regarded Patrol Captain.

As a result of her responsible job in Canada, her duties as a patrolling member at Noosa, plus her years of learning within the ranks of the Nippers club, we now have a very competent lifesaver on duty at Noosa’s Main Beach. I feel that Grace’s attitude and performance is a direct result of the solid but happy grounding that she received both in the Nippers and at home.

Those who sometimes question the time, effort and money that goes into establishing a good solid Nippers club should maybe

spend time talking to the likes of our young Grace Anisimoff.

If doing so, I feel that they would come away very supportive of our Nipper Movement. To the mums and dads - at both Noosa and Sunshine - keep up the good work.

Last weekend the Coolangatta Gold was contested. After a fitting and well-deserved tribute to the late Dean Mercer and the starter’s gun fired by his brother Darren, the race which draws lifesavers from all corners got underway.

MURKY RIVER MAKES FISHING EASIER The rains have finally started to fall and with this the river has started to colour up, and this makes fishing just that bit easier as the fish can’t distinguish as much between lure and live.

The upper sections of the river especially between the lakes - has been the spot to be for jacks with plenty of fish taken from between the sticks that line the shores, suspending lures, soft plastics, and live baits have all claimed some good fish.

Big flatties have also been in good supply with plenty of fish holding on the drop offs near sand and mud banks, soft plastics have been working extremely well with both prawn and small fish profiles the most popular.

Hopping your lure on a slow retrieve has been the most successful technique, with most fish taken as the lure makes its way back to the bottom. Small pilchards, hardy heads, whitebait and prawns have also been claiming some great fish.

Heading down towards the mouth, Woods Bays have been firing for trevally and the odd tailor and queenfish.

Fishing the low light periods with both popper and surface walkers has been a very exciting way to catch these predators. As the sun gets a little higher try plastics, and smaller micro jigs.

For those after a feed of whiting, the Dog Beach and the Frying Pan have held some solid fish, live worms, yabbies and peeled prawns have been the prime baits.

Last weekend saw some great weather windows so the offshore anglers were able to noosatoday.com.au

Ben Forgan with a nice Jack. get out in force, plenty of larger boats made their way to the Barwon Banks, Hards, and Double Island Reefs.

Quality jewfish, pearl perch, tusk fish, cobia, cod and a few solid red emperor were all landed. Fishing live yakka and slimies produced some of the better results, micro jigs and 7” and 9” soft plastics also claimed some great fish with the Motor Oil and Coconut Ice colours seeming to perform a little better than the rest.

This carnival - which apart from the major race - consists of several short course events, and was indeed a great start for the season for both Noosa and Sunshine Beach clubs.

For Noosa, Lana Rogers competing in just her first Open Ladies Coolangatta Gold Endurance event, finishing in fifth place in a time of 4 hours 27 minutes was a great effort; and please note she was up against the best in Australia. Now that she knows just what is involved - who knows what lies ahead for this incredible young lady.

Saturday’s short course events saw good results for both our clubs Entered in the Girls 19 age division Sunshine came home with the gold medal.

The team was Ruby Nolan, Oliver Emanual, Sophie Boulton and Talisa Brady.

For Noosa, their Under 19 Mixed also won gold with a team of Jack Mohr, Jayden Morrow, Tex Dixon and Aurelia Donger.

This event which consists of four disciplines - board, ski, swim, and run - is indeed one of the toughest. Congratulations to all involved.

In the Open divisions Noosa’s Allison Pegg won the Ladies Over 50 short course and for an outstanding example of courage (fighting a long illness) Noosa’s Tainui Kaihau - aged 19 - finished sixth in the men’s.

The efforts of both clubs’ competitors have been first class. ●

NOOSA WEATHER FORECAST

On the closer reefs Sunshine, Masood’s, and Halls reef all fished well.

Pelagics are really starting to come on with plenty of school and spotted mackeral around, tuna are also in good numbers with schools on Mack tuna showing up in Laguna Bay. Sunshine has been the place to be if you are looking for trout. Fishing live baits hard to the reef with heavy leaders and tight drags has been the only way to get these delicious table fish from there rocky homes.

On the beaches - with the wind conditions playing the game - beach anglers have been spoilt, the closer gutters have held some lovely whiting, bream and solid dart.

Live beach worms have been the bait of choice with plenty of anglers getting a good feed just after the turn of the tide on the run out.

Last week also saw the full moon and this is traditionally not the best for jew, but if you fish the run in tide between sunset and moon rise this is considered the best time to target jew.

It’s on again - the National Gone Fishing Day will be held this Sunday.

This is a day when all Australians can get out on the water for a fish and celebrate our love of fishing. It doesn’t matter if you have never fished before, Gone Fishing Day is for everyone. So why not sign up for the biggest fishing event on the Australian fishing calendar. Jump on line and check it out and register at https://gonefishingday.org/ So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! ●
