The editor’s desk Look out Noosa Landcare weeders your jobs may be on the line, and I'm not kidding.

A group of goats in the ACT is gaining high praise for their excellent weed removal activities.

Apparently they work long hours, don't complain, walk softly on the soil, can access difficult to get to places and only require an occasional pat for their efforts.

And as their digestive system breaks down weed seeds they are not redistributed in the area.

If you're looking for some entertainment this Sunday why not head along to the Noosa Biosphere celebration.

A day of entertainment will be on offer with bush dancing, arts and crafts and food stalls and there will be environmental initiatives such as koala detection dogs and electric bikes on show.

The free event will be held from 10am to 3pm in the Kin Kin township. ● - Margaret Maccoll

TRAGIC VEHICLE ACCIDENT CLAIMS LIFE OF TEEN JACK

HEARTFELT WELCOME FOR REFUGEES

A car accident claimed the life of Noosa teenager Jack O'Connor, 18, on Saturday night.

Tributes flowed on social media for the young man. His father John saying his son would be remembered by his huge circle of friends for being talented, full of potential and dependable.

Jack graduated Year 12 at St Teresa's College last year, was a former Noosa Dolphins rugby player and had just finished his first year of university. Police said he was struck while walking along the side of Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville between Beckmans and Hollett roads about 11pm.

Emergency services gave him CPR but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The teen had caught an Uber ride after leaving a party but got out on the road.

The driver of the car was a 25-year-old Woodford man who had just finished work in Noosa and was heading home.

Police were conducting an operation on the street at a petrol station nearby and were called to the scene. Investigations are continuing into the accident and police are keen to hear from anyone with information about it. ●

Noosa Councillor Ingrid Jackson told Council's General Meeting on Monday she was worried "a breakthrough" of water would go through the increasingly eroding Dog Beach on Noosa Spit and affect the buildings on Noosa Sound.

Mayor Tony Wellington said Noosa Sound had developed without a spit there so even if the spit broke through it didn't mean the buildings on Noosa Sound would be in peril.

Council officers have recommended Council prepare a Shoreline Erosion Management Plan (SEMP) to scope the Noosa River and Main Beach area which they say would provide Council with a broader understanding of coastal processes from which to build a model to deal with erosive forces, sediment movements and the interaction between Noosa River and Main Beach. The SEMP is expected to cost about $240,000 and take about nine months to complete.The man made spit was built to provide protection to Noosa Sound and has

manage the expectations of the community," he said.

Cr Jackson said to understand whether any remedial action was needed in the interim she requested more information from officers to be made available for the Ordinary Meeting.

Cr Jackson asked: "What remedial steps have actually been taken and not taken since the initial remedial work in 2012?

At the current rate of erosion, what is the likely timeframe before the river might break through Noosa Spit to Noosa Sound?

What is the probability of a major storm that could cause severe erosion problems and even break through?

What are the erosion trigger points which would lead Council to take immediate remedial action to avoid break through to Noosa Sound."

The Ordinary Meeting will be held on Thursday 15 November at Pomona Showgrounds hall, cnr Exhibition and Pavilion streets, at 6pm. ●

There were emotional scenes in Noosa Council chambers as Councillors threw their support behind Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington's proposal the area declare itself a Refugee Welcome Zone and told personal stories from their family histories.

Cr Joe Jurisevic was tearful as he told how his mother was one of a stolen generation of Polish children taken to service the Germans during WWII. She didn't return to Poland after the war because there was nothing there to return to, he said.

The experience impacted her life greatly and she suffered years of depression. His father escaped over the border into Italy in 1953 to come to a new life in Australia. He said how fortunate his family was to be welcomed here.

Cr Ingrid Jackson said her family knew what it was like to be persecuted in their own homeland on the basis of their race, their religion and their political beliefs.

"My grandfather was an engineer and in the 1930s he became a Councillor in the German part of Czechoslovakia," she said.

"He was also a Social Democrat and Jewish. My grandfather was imprisoned and died in the Nazi concentration camp at Theresienstadt.

"My half-Jewish father, even though brought up a Catholic, was also incarcerated in Nazi labour camps and thankfully survived.

When the war ended, the Czechs wreaked revenge on the Germans and victimised her father. After a four year search, he was offered a job at the University of Tasmania, and her parents moved to Hobart where she was born," she said.

"I am forever grateful to Australia for opening its doors to my mother and father," she said. Cr Wellington said his grandfather escaped war-torn Italy to come to Australia.

The proposal will be further considered at the Ordinary meeting tonight. ●

COVER STORY

OUR TERRIFIC TWO

BY RON LANE t was mid morning Saturday 0ctober 6th when two virtually unknown sixteen year old lifesavers from the Shire of Noosa walked onto the sands of Coolangatta. Their reason was to contest the u/19 short course Coolangatta Gold Endurance Race which would see them cover a distance of 21 kl of swimming, ski paddling, board paddling and sand running.

Before the start they were faced with a massive problem; these two lifesavers had entered what was in fact a four-man team event. Two against four the odds seemed impossible, but for Zachary Bromage of the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club and his good mate Tex Dixon of the Noosa Club this just added to the challenge.

Then later in the day when they stepped up on the dais to receive their gold medal as winners of the event many people, were asking, "Who are these two?" Not only did they win but they recorded what was the

I

fastest time of the day by either a u/19 or open team, 2 hrs. 8 min. And they did it against the best that both Queensland and N.S.W. had to offer.

Planning the race was no problems. For Zac his two strongest legs were the swim and the run and for Tex it was the board and the ski. A perfect balance.

The makeup of the race involved a 10.5kl ski leg, 3k board leg, ( for Tex) 2kl swim and a 5.5kl run (for Zachary ).Under normal circumstances this should have given the opposition an advantage for with the four man teams there was a different man for each leg- no double up.

But for these two quite clubbies it was no big deal for they just loved a challenge; and the bigger the better.

Stats revealed that Tex had the fastest board leg of the day and seventh fastest ski leg and Zacherys results reveled the third fastest swim and run times; thus giving them the overall fastest time for the event -u/19 or opens. For two against four this was indeed an outstanding achievement.

Zach Bromage and Tex Dixon.

For Zachery now a Year 11 student at St. Andrews College, his commitment to the surf club life started in the Elwood Club in Victoria which at the time was celebrating its centenary year; and young Zac had the distinction of winning the clubs first ever State gold medal by winning the u/11 surf race.

As fate would have it his now good mate Tex Bromage won the silver finishing close behind Zac. This carnival held at Lorne was to be the first time that these young clubbies ever shook hands. Little did they realise that their handshake was to be the start of an incredible friendship.

For the Bromage family their love affair with Noosa was the result of holiday periods spent as a family. "My dad Dean was first to shift to Noosa when he moved there to work," said Zac. "Then one year later we all joined him and I was enrolled at St Andrews. That was in 2013 and we couldn't be happier."

On arrival the family lived at Sunshine Beach and it was from there that Zac joined the local surf club and started competing as an u/12 nipper. This he continued to do until joining the senior club ranks and obtaining his bronze medallion. ''On arriving I had taken a good look at the beach liked the prevailing conditions and the nipper club was great: and that's why I joined Sunshine.''

Obtaining his bronze he continued competing and trained under veteran coach Max Pettigrove. "Max was great and I learned a lot from him, then when he stepped aside I trained under club coach Josh Minogue."

"Around the club he is very popular and we love having him as part of the team," said Minogue. "This year he is very focused

on his swimming and as a result is training under specialist swim coach Michael Sage at Kawana; his board and ski he does with us."

His sessions at Kawana are a heavy work load involving 8 to 10 sessions per week.

Regarding their performance at the Goolangatta Gold Minogue was astounded.

"The effort of Zac and his mate Tex, a twoman team competing against four-man teams, shows their focus and determination; the results were unbelievable."

With a similar background and mental attitude it is no wonder that their friendship, despite their youth, has developed to such a stage.

For Tex his surf career also started in Victoria when as a u/10 nipper he joined the surf club at Half Moon Bay, next door to Zac's club Elwood: shortly after this came that memorable surf race at Lorne.

Then to add to their friendship, by a strange coincident both families independent of each other, had been holidaying at a place called Noosa Heads Then in late December 2015 Texas father Cameron also shifted his family to Noosa.

Keen to train under Darren Mercer, whom

he had met while on holidays, Tex as a u/14 nipper immediately joined the Noosa club.

"I felt comfortable with Darren and started training. It was early morning swim sessions at the NAC with 4/5 sessions per week then craft and iron man sessions in the afternoon. Then on Saturday it would be a Coolangatta Gold type session. With regard to the Coolangatta competition I have no preference; I enjoy both the long endurance and short course races."

"Training Tex is a pleasure," said Coach Darren Mercer. "You don't have to work at motivating him. He is so keen to fit in (with the team) that he is completely self-motivated; learns quickly and picks up the skills that he is taught. What Tex and his mate Zachery did at Coolangatta really cause an upset; a two man team beating all the fours. Unbelievable."

For Tex the choice of a school came easy. "Soon as we arrived Zac and I were again together as mates and as he was at St Andrews he had a good talk with me and that was it; I joined his school."

Away from the world of surf and sand Tex is a dedicated A.F.L.fan and is a big

supporter of Richmond and for music he really digs Rap. For Zac he just loves to train and surf.

Regarding the race the boys said "At first we were not going to enter but then we had a talk and although we were only a two man team we decided to do it. We had mates in Sunshine who had formed a four -man team and we wanted to have a go at beating them," they added with a laugh.

Race day the format was to their liking; first leg was Tex 10kl ski, Zac 2kl swim, Tex 3kl board, and then Zac final leg5.5kl run. As one finished his leg he could rest while the other was completing his; it was extremely tough but it worked.

"It was great to win but to know the first four -man team to finish was two minutes behind us, said Zac. "That was really good."

A major factor for success in sport is family support and for the boys it is there in abundance. For Zachery it is parents Dean and Michelle Bromage and for Texas it is Cameron and Tracey Dixon. For these two families we say welcome and good luck. ●

ONE PEREGIAN VISION Peregian Family and Friends organisation is continuing its push to unite Peregian through its engagement with politicians and meetings with residents.

The community group combined last month with Peregian Springs Residents Association and recently met with State Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington, Ninderry MP Dan Purdie, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Wide Bay MP Llew OBrien to discuss their 2019 aims.

They hope to build a bike path connecting the beach to the Springs via Peregian Breeze, support the return of a thriving surf club at Peregian Beach and working towards the vision of One Peregian.

Group president Kane Livingstone said the group believes the Peregian community was "strongly connected" and Peregian Beach businesses had benefited by the growth in customer base coming from the Peregian Springs development.

"Retirees from the beach love to play golf at the Springs, families go to school in the

Peregian Family and Friends meet with politicians.

Springs and then attend nippers at the beach on the weekend, parents who can't access the popular Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten have further child care options at Peregian Breeze and Springs, which five years ago did not exist," he said

Peregian Family and Friends will host a meet and greet event and free barbecue after school on Friday 30 November at Peregian Park.For more information visit Peregian Family and Friends on Facebook. ●

DRUGS FOUND IN POLICE OPERATION A police operation codenamed Tarmac was held on Friday and Saturday nights in Coolum and Noosa to nab drug and traffic offences.

Noosa Police senior sergeant Ben Carroll said police conducted more than

1400 random breath tests and 82 drug tests.

The tests detected 13 drug drivers, eight drunk drivers and there were 31 infringement notices issued.

Police also found a stolen motor car,

six unlicensed drivers, six unregistered vehicles and there were nine drug charges.

The operation was conducted by Noosa and Coolum police, CIB and Tactical Crime. ●

DISABLED SEEK PADDLER PROGRAM Board paddling could soon become a popular sport for those with spinal cord injuries and disabilities on the Sunshine Coast thanks to the efforts of three USC Occupational Therapy students.

Honours students Abbey Main, Erica Turner-Brown and Laura Gordon convinced Ocean Positive Foundation CEO Bruckner Chase from the United States to stage a pilot training session last Saturday for 10-15 participants in the Maroochy River.

Mr Chase, a surf lifesaving athlete from New Jersey and a strong advocate for parasurf lifesaving sport, led a Blue Journey Unified session with assistance from Beau Farrell of Crossbow Paddleboards, physiotherapists, surf club volunteers from Maroochydore and Mooloolaba, and the USC students.

The students said prone paddling was a sport that allowed individuals with physical disabilities to participate without the need for specialised adapted equipment and consistent hands-on support.

After his visit to the Sunshine Coast, Mr Chase will spend some time on the Gold Coast to help launch the ongoing Blue Journey Australia Unified sessions with the Gold Coast Ocean Paddlers Club. The USC students would like to see a similar program established on the Sunshine Coast in the future. ●

Former Johns Landing residents enjoy the idyllic setting.

JOHNS LANDING GOES NATURAL A former camping ground that provided refuge for the homeless has become a refuge for nature. Last week Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch announced a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to protect Johns Landing Nature Refuge.

Ms Enoch said the 35 hectare property contained sensitive environmental values that required protection.

"Johns Landing Nature Refuge contains koala habitat and habitat suitable for a further

ten threatened species," she said.

"It boasts four regional ecosystems of significant biodiversity value, and provides landscape connectivity to Great Sandy National Park and Una Corbould Nature Refuge.

"Across Queensland there are now 516 nature refuges covering 4.42 million hectares, which is something we are proud of."

Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington as land managers, the Council was preserving the property for future generations. ●

FISHING SOLO FOR A FILM

12355440-CG25-17

MARKET DAY

BY MARGARET MACCOLL After turning his back on a 20-year career in the music industry producing and managing bands about seven years ago, David Leonard moved to Noosa and went fishing -then decided to make a film about it.

David put in the hours off-shore fishing and loved every minute of it.

"I found out it's a fabulous fishing area," he said "but Noosa has never really been documented."

To brush up on his filming skills David started working as a cameraman and editor with the AFN Fishing Show, working with presenter Nigel Webster.

After a time he quit full time work to focus on creating his film titled "Exploring Noosa".

David combines his skills to film, present, catch the fish and edit the feature length film, only calling on help to capture a few drone shots. There are no celebrities, no advertising, no sponsors and no tall stories.

NOVEMBER 17TH 10AM-1PM

His filmmaking wasn't without incident though.

In February 2017 he flipped his 6m boat on the treacherous Noosa Bar and lost everything.

Luckily he and his three passengers at the time escaped unharmed.

"I could have quit," he said. "But I replaced my boat and started filming in February 2018."

Exploring Noosa will be released by the solo angler on 1 December through his online webstore www.soloangler.com and selected

NEWS BUFFALO IN OUR WATERS

LAKE WEYBA FRIENDS LOBBY ON ENVIRONMENT

It may be the first time in Noosa history that there has been Water Buffalo swimming in our waterways. Without jumping to too many conclusions, they were simply enjoying a much-needed cool off with their trainers during the Hudsons Circus set-up.

The Buffalo are a part of the show, as are their much-loved camels and ponies. All the animals at this circus are lovingly cared for and given plenty of fun and exercise (and swims).

The Hudsons Circus rolled in to town at the AFL grounds, will be there until the 25th November and have plenty of performances to choose from. Check out their website for info at www.hudsonscircus.com.au ●

BY MARGARET MACCOLL The Friends of Lake Weyba (FoLW) are continuing to lobby to protect the environment around Lake Weyba with current aims to extend the Noosa Council boundary southward to include about a third of the lake's foreshore which currently sits in Sunshine Coast Council territory.

FoLW president Anita Brake told Noosa Parks Association Friday forum group there was a strong argument for a boundary realignment.

She said the boundary currently ended at the waterline and they wanted Noosa Council's boundary to include the land to Emu Mountain Road which would act as a natural border. Anita said they feared Sunshine Coast Council was more inclined than Noosa Council toward development and were concerned about proposals for increased use of the foreshore and resultant impacts.

FoLW was formed in 2012 to campaign against a proposed development which included 1000 homes, three-storey buildings, a retirement complex and clubhouse which the group felt threatened the fragile ecosystem of the lake.

Anita said the group held various events including art exhibitions and wildflower walks to fund their campaign to halt

The region has had a chequered past. It was the scene of an Aboriginal massacre in 1868, once contained an Aboriginal

Social media classes, Instagram workshops and even courses on how to build your own brand are fast becoming popular for local business owners, but one Noosa-based entrepreneur wanted to delve deeper into the world of business.

SOCIAL SCENE

WE REMEMBER THEM

BY MARGARET MACCOLL Six young men from Noosa, most of them teenagers, signed on to go to World War I and none returned.

The men whose names are etched on the cenotaph at Tewantin were remembered on Sunday at a Remembrance service to mark 100 years since the end of the war.

School teacher William Bauer, 18, dairy farmer James Marsden, 19, drover Robert Finney, 19, Roy Finney, 19, of Tewantin, labourer Roy Barr and coach driver Harold White, 25, all died from injuries suffered on the battlefields of Europe and were buried on foreign soil.

Sunshine Beach State High School students had researched the former soldiers, following their journeys on ships across the sea to training in England and battles in places that have become household names to Australians - Flanders Fields, the Somme and Villers Bretonneux and relayed their stories during the service.

2018 Premiers Anzac Prize winner Jack Frey travelled this year to the battlefields, experienced ANZAC Day at Gallipoli and researched the life of WWI soldier Stanley Adams who signed on at 16 years of age, "seeing it as an adventure and a chance to see the world" and died on the battlefield.

"They gave their today for our

tomorrow," he said.

Under sunny skies veterans joined representatives from the Australian Light Horse, dignitaries and families while Tewantin Noosa RSL president Mick Reid led the service. He spoke of the more than 60,000 Australians who died in the war, the many more injured and the ongoing gratitude we give to their sacrifice.

"So many lost, so many affected, so many communities suffered greatly," he said. â—?

FOCUS ON … Graduation

WALK OF HONOUR A NEW TRADITION

BY HOLLIE HARRIS The 'Walk of Honour' has become a tradition at Good Shepherd Lutheran College as a rite of passage for Year 12 students as they come to the conclusion of their school years. Yesterday, graduating 2018 Year 12's took part in the Walk of Honour where they first walked the grounds as young students in Junior School, enjoying the challenges and highlights of their educational journey.

The Walk of Honour started in 2006

creating a touching experience for the Year 12 students in their last week of school. The 'Walk' through the Campus, to music that is a collation of the top songs from each year of their school life (Prep in 2006 until this year), will start at the Chapel and culminate at the HPE Centre where they were given blessings for their future.

Year 12 College Captain - Nicholas Newton "I owe my amazing time to the teachers, staff, coaches and students who with their

support and care have made this experience unforgettable. With the end of school so near I am both excited and eager to see what opportunities will fill the next chapter of my journey."

Year 12 College Captain - Gemma Sampson "My time at Good Shepherd has been filled with fantastic memories, and people who I'll always hold close to my heart. I've been provided with so many opportunities that I'm incredibly grateful for and owe a huge thanks

to the staff, coaches, family, and friends who have supported me every step of the way."

Year 12 College Vice-Captain - Victoria Barnes "Since coming to Good Shepherd at the start of Year 10, my time here has been nothing short of amazing. I definitely know that if it hadn't been for Good Shepherd, I would not have found my passion for Chemistry, which has inspired me to study engineering and science at university next year." ●

Congratulations Class of 2018 We wish you all the very best as you continue on your chosen paths.

Nicholas Newton, Gemma Sampson, Victoria Barnes, Jackson Allan.

St Andrew's is a dynamic and vibrant College that has developed a reputation for its commitment to the educational needs of each individual student. Established in 2003, the College has grown to cater for 0 - 5 year olds in the Little Saints Early Learning Centre, through Prep to Year 12 with over 1280 students now enrolled.

"Our Strategic Intent is to leverage the College's positive energy and supportive community to enable our students to move confidently into their futures," says St Andrew's Principal, Reverend Chris Ivey.

"In order to achieve this, we focus on a balance of high expectations and positive

relationships."

The innovative Walker Learning approach is embedded at the College from Little Saints to Year 6, where rooms have been transformed into bright, inviting learning spaces.

In the Secondary school, students are provided with a holistic educational experience that encourages them to seize opportunities and accept challenges.

"As Principal and a parent of four St Andrew's students since 2007, I am thrilled to play my part, along with a team of staff, in ensuring the realisation of the vision and aspirations of the whole College community," Reverend Ivey said. ●

FOCUS ON … National Recycling Week

TRASH FOR CASH PROVES A REAL SMASH QUEENSLANDERS can now turn trash into cash with the state's new container refund scheme, offering 10 cents back for each eligible container returned for recycling.

The new scheme Containers for Change launched on November 1 to reduce litter from almost three billion drink containers, which are sold in Queensland yearly.

To mark the launch, Mackay artist and conservationist David Day designed a giant sculpture made entirely from 4000 recycled drink containers, standing 3.8 metres high and displayed in Brisbane's King George Square.

The organisation tasked with establishing and running the scheme is Container Exchange (COEX). COEX acting chair Alby Taylor said action was needed as statistics show Queensland has one of the highest littering rates in the country.

"Just one year's worth of container litter would go around the world roughly ten times if laid end-to-end," Mr Taylor said.

"Containers for Change will help improve recycling rates, reduce litter and provide funding opportunities for schools, charities, community groups and other not-for-profit organisations." The network launched with more than 230 refund points throughout the state, with that number expected to grow to more than 300.

"The scheme also provides a great opportunity for businesses to set up

container refund points," Mr Taylor said.

"We have also established a number of temporary bag drop locations around the state to ensure customers can return their containers over the busy launch period, especially on weekends."

According to Mr Taylor, as more mobile and fixed collection points come on board, access to refunds will gradually improve.

Ken Noye, chief executive officer of COEX, said a statewide open tender process for container refund points received a great response, however, some rural and remote areas of Queensland and the Torres Strait do not yet have operators.

"COEX staff have been travelling to those areas to work with local councils and businesses to develop sustainable solutions," Mr Noye said. These can take the form of mobile or pop-up container refund points, such as trailers or utes with cages on the back, installed in towns which have so far missed out on container refund points. The state government has recognised the problem and will provide a $10,000 grant for notfor-profit organisations to set up donation points in rural and remote communities. In addition, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islande councils can apply for grants of up to $50,000 to take part in the scheme.

"Ultimately, the Queensland environment will benefit from a reduction of pollution in our oceans, rivers and creeks," said Mr Noye.

SCULPTURE: Mackay artist and conservationist David Day designed this giant fish with 4000 recycled drink containers to launch the recycling scheme.

OUR FUTURE: Containers for Change will improve recycling rates and reduce litter.

To take part, return your drink container to a refund point to get your 10 cent refund per container. Or you can simply donate

them to a community group.

For more information or to register, visit www.containersforchange.com.au.

Information about grants can be found at www.qld.gov.au/environment/pollution/ management/waste/recovery/fundinggrants.Eligibility Containers for Change is focused on reducing litter in the environment so recycling efforts are on drinks generally consumed away from home (soft drinks, water bottles, small flavoured milk).

This includes most glass, plastic, aluminium, steel and paper-based cartons between 150 mIllilitres and three litres.

Drink containers generally consumed only at home (wine bottles, spirit bottles) are excluded. This includes plain milk, pure juice drinks and cordials.

RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT I can’t believe that there are those who still believe that the introduction of a chemical substance of any kind can be freely used about our living and breathing environments and quote it as safe. If it was just the one person spraying roundup in a suburban area for example it would be only a nudge, no problem.

The fact is it’s not just one. And it’s not just roundup. Household, garden, agricultural, industrial and medical chemicals are used abundantly and thoroughly. Let’s not be small-minded and see only what we want to see as we flush our chemical cocktails down the cistern for our fish to consume.

Chemicals are prolific in our foods, bodies, clothing, building materials, waters, soils and air. Then we complain about climate change and its effects on our personal lives?

We’re laden in chemicals and as long as it suits our purpose - that’s then alright.

This is why we no longer care about the environment or its inhabitants as we’ve become a generation of cyberspace heads. Our feet are no longer on the ground, our heads are in plasma searching for another planet to reach and destroy.

Will Robinson tried to warn us.

All those hippies of the ’60s protested then about what we are dripping in now but we condemned the natural-living dweller while we arrogantly financially invest in the areas those hippies had and have protected.

Long live the tree.

If nature is God’s artwork what do we call those who destroy it?

I can guarantee you that the logical reason for the extreme climate changes, (while they are cyclical), is because we keep chopping down canopy trees and forests, concreting and tarring highways, drill oil from the Earth’s core, pound the guts out of our planet, and develop mountains into glossy palaces.

We’re only kidding our kids, not ourselves.

Humanity are the vermin, specifically Western nationalities. Most Third World inhabitants live, grow and respect nature, whose ways are now feeding us. It’s our ugly selves and our demand for creature plastic comforts, lazy push button lifestyles, quick easy fix pills that has us suckered like parasites onto the bacteria we rot in now.

You think AIDS was bad? Wait till you try and configure the new diseases that are coming.

All cause and effect.

warnings that burning fossil fuels could lead to global warming as far back as 1882. Citing the long time over which the warning has been made in no way reduces the validity of the prediction. We should be ashamed to have not acted sooner. The extended quote offered by Mr Mikkelsen, purportedly meant to show that warnings of global warming due to increased CO2 have been invalid, does not actually mention CO2 and is not related to this debate. He was misled again by a rightwing blog.

Though the climate is always changing, it has never changed as rapidly as it is now, with the exception of the period after the meteor strike on earth 65 million years ago.

There is now more CO2 in our atmosphere than at any time in the existence of humans (33% more now than 60 years ago). The average atmospheric temperature has also never increased as rapidly as it is now.

The “long” (about 80) list of scientists that question anthropogenic global warming includes some scientists that also argued strongly that smoking tobacco could do no harm, that UV radiation did not cause melanoma, and that there was no hole in the ozone layer, eg Fred Singer. Naomi Oreskes

OPINION

documented how many opponents of global warming theory were handsomely financed by the fossil fuel industry.

There has been exhaustive debate and research about what else could possibly be causing the atmosphere to be warming.

These have all been dismissed for lack of evidence. None of the scientists on the list noted

by Mr Mikkelsen have presented any scientific evidence that something other than CO2 is causing global warming.

Ian Plimer was thumped when he wrote in his book that volcanoes of the Earth produced more CO2 every year than all the burning of fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels actually releases more than 100 times more CO2 annually than all the volcanoes above and below the surface of the oceans.

Mr Mikkelsen fabricated facts. Global warming and climate change are different terms, like HIV and aids. HIV causes aids.

Global warming causes climate change. The pathological metaphor is not a coincidence.

Contrary to his assertion, the term “anthropogenic” has never been dropped from the expression.

Mr Mikkelsen may be confused when unusually cold weather occurs in temperate or subtropical regions. It is claimed by GW deniers that this is strong evidence that the Earth is not warming. The opposite is true.

From inside a refrigerator you would feel that the planet is cooling, not realising that the back of the fridge is getting warmer due to heat transfer.

Global warming has caused the northern and southern jet streams to meander much more that in the past, so they occasionally carry cold air further south (or north, in our case). When this happens, Houston gets snow and the north pole heats up a bit more.

Most of the warming of our atmosphere occurs at the poles and much of the predicted warming has been transferred to the seas where it will be stored and released in time.

This accounts for the significant melting of polar ice which threatens polar wildlife.

I wish Mr Mikkelsen many happy hours of reading when he finally prepares to understand climate change. ● Steve Hall, Cooroy

HILL CLIMB COMES OF AGE ON HIGH

BY MARGARET MACCOLL

Rob Kippen with his 1968 Datsun 1600.

"I never thought I'd be building a car in high school," Year 11 student Callum Thiess said on Saturday at the Noosa Hill Climb as he and Sunshine Beach State High School VET trainer John Marano chatted to other car enthusiasts about the school's latest two year build.

Next year Callum and other students in the Formula high school program will begin their new build, complete the course with a Certificate II in Engineering Pathways and as a bonus at the end of the year - race the car.

"The course is about introducing them to the engineering industry and getting them workplace ready," Mr Marano said.

Cars of all types and ages raced the clock over the weekend at the 21st Noosa Hill Climb summer event.

Among them was Max Stephenson, a first timer to Noosa Hill Climb, who was

"having an absolute ball" on the second only outing of his 1933 Austin Martin Le Mans long chassis which he bought in 2010 before restoring it.

There were plenty of regulars as well including Trevor Bassett who has been to the hill climb for the past 15 years. Trevor, of Sunshine Beach, brought along his 1977 Ferrari, one of seven cars he owns "all Italian".It was the 11th year for Ian Nowell who bought his 1955 Porsche in New Zealand 20 years ago for $25,000 and has "had a lot of fun ever since".

For Rob Kippen the Noosa Hill Climb has become a family tradition. Both he and brother Steve have Datsun 1600s and each aims to be fastest to the top, though Rob admitted Steve had beaten him more often than not. The race track on Gyndier Drive is very familiar to the Tewantin man who as a boy travelled it to school on the bus every day before the Noosa-Cooroy Road was built. ●

FOCUS ON ... TRAVEL Established 30 years ago, French company PONANT is the world’s leading luxury expedition cruise company, featuring the youngest fleet of cruise ships in the world.

With more than 400 cruises per year to 150 countries and itineraries that stretch from polar region to polar region, PONANT, the world leader in polar exploration voyages, is now actively expanding its range of tropical expeditions to include The Kimberley Coast and Micronesia.

With so many incredible destinations to explore, PONANT is bringing an Expedition Leader to Noosa so locals can learn from onboard experience. On Thursday 22nd November, Sandrine RoseErwin will regale guests with her personal stories and experience as a naturalist. This will be your chance to have all of your questions answered regarding small-ship cruising and expedition cruising.

Born in France and then growing up in North Queensland with the Great Barrier Reef as her backyard, Sandrine pursued studies in Tropical Zoology, Ecology & Marine Biology at James Cook University. During her studies and whilst a research assistant she worked in areas rich in biodiversity from the tropical rainforests of North Queensland, to

arid desert landscapes dominated by her beloved reptiles. Working as a zoo keeper and a naturalist guide on board boats visiting the Great Barrier Reef, wildlife has always been an important part of her life. Working for PONANT as an Expedition Guide since 2014, focusing on destinations in Asia Pacific including Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Melanesia, the Subantarctic Islands and Antarctica (where she too acquired the ‘Polar Bug’!) Sandrine is always keen to share her passion for wildlife, conservation and the protection of the environment.

PONANT offers authentic expedition experiences to intrepid travellers and blends this with the luxury of modern ships boasting stylish staterooms and suites; gourmet cuisine and an open Bar. The newly launched 184 passenger compact luxury expedition ship Le Laperouse will first be seen cruising in the Indian Ocean, exploring The Seychelles and Sri Lanka as she makes her way to Australia to begin exploring Australia and New Zealand. The youngest and most technologically advanced small luxury expedition ships feature the world-first underwater lounge, The Blue Eye.

ON THE COVER

EXCLUSIVE, LUXURIOUS RESORT-STYLE LIFE A masterpiece of modernist design, this Elysium Noosa property is a striking sanctuary surrounded by a sea of green.

Sharp lines, soaring walls of glass and seamless indoor-outdoor living set the spectacular standard for this remarkable residence. Set on a 685 square metre parcel of land - one of the largest in Elysium - the quality of this build is evident at every turn.

No expense was spared during construction; the international hotelbuilding developer considering it a smallscale version of overseas projects, at a cost that would be more than $1.5 million today.

Bathed in natural light, there are hints of industrial design with steel beams and vast gallery-like living spaces, tempered with warm timber accents, landscaped gardens and views of the surrounding bushland and heated swimming pool.

Each bedroom, while large, has a more encapsulated feel, offering the privacy, warmth and comfort ideal for retreat and sleep.

Designed for decadent entertaining and five-star resort-style living, the living areas are vast and open-plan, spilling seamlessly onto alfresco areas, the pool terrace and sun-soaked lawn.

The entertainer will love this state-

WHAT’S ON THE TOAD IS BACK!

BY HOLLIE HARRIS The Rogue Toad play set on the Noosa Ferry is the perfect way to celebrate the festive season with a group of friends and work colleagues.

The Winner of 2018 of the Anywhere Theatre Festival, The Rogue Toad has again teamed up with Noosa Ferry to bring you four more opportunities to see this hilarious show as you cruise the stunning Noosa River.

This play is loosely based on the characters of Wind in the Willows and features five anthropomorphic friends and a humorous tale of prejudice and love.

Ratty, an Australian bush rat, mission in life is helping people out and when his mate Mole from the UK asks him a favour he naturally can't refuse. But Ratty's not smart enough to solve the problem, so he enlists his mate Toad to help, and this is where the fun and games begin. Toad is a little prejudiced in his thinking, but then he meets the beautiful Turkish badger and so we are in for a hilarious story of love, mateship and just a little humble pie.

As you board the ferry in Tewantin at Noosa Marina you will be welcomed with a glass or two of bubbly as the performance gets under way cruising down stream to pick up some characters along the river including a family of endearingly friendly blue tongue lizards.

Performances are on: Saturday 1 December 2018 at 11am Sunday 2 December 2018 at 4pm Saturday 26 January 2019 at 11am Sunday 27 January 2019 at 11am Ticket price of $35 includes a couple of glasses of sparkling wine, beer or OJ and a packet of chips. Boarding 15 minutes prior to departure from wharf at Noosa Marina.

Duration: approximately 2 hours.

WHISKY BOY IS TURNING THREE!

BY HOLLIE HARRIS It's been three years since Whisky Boy opened its doors, and they are ready to celebrate this weekend! They have planned an all day shindig with Queensland favourites "Beauty and the Beard BBQ and Events" taking over the parking lot with their smoker/BBQ trailer, so if you love your meat, this is the party for you.

There will be melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket and pork belly slow cooked and charred to perfection, cold beers, live music and $12 cocktails happening from 11.30am until late!

Whisky Boy is the brainchild of two of Noosa's longest and most beloved hospitality professionals. Leading the kitchen team is head chef and co-owner Geoffroy Marcq, who cut his teeth for 8 years at Berardo's, and is a familiar face at Noosa Food and Wine Festivals. Equally adept at both savoury and sweet, Geoffroy is a fully trained chef, as well as a pastry chef.

A true citizen of the world, Geoffroy has travelled from France to be part of the Noosa foodscape, and put his stamp on modern Australian cuisine.

Jimmy Talve, a Noosa local of 16 years, and hospitality presence in some of Noosa's most iconic restaurants, brings his own spin to your dining experience. Jimmy brings a plethora of experience, atmosphere, spirits and wine knowledge, and sophisticated banter.

Happy birthday Whisky Boy! The Whisky Boy environment is inclusive of all walks of life, regardless of your knowledge of whisky. They employ staff who love to assist you with your whisky selection, if it's your first whisky ever, or just your first whisky with them.

The bar also offers 20+ gins, and a full

complement of other wines and alcohols to perfectly suit your evening.

No tickets needed for the big party, first in, best dressed for the prime cuts of BBQ. This unmissable night out will go from 11:30am until late, this Saturday, November 18. â—?

TEPPANYAKI - IT’S LOVED BY EVERYONE! Yen Teppanyaki Japanese restaurant is Noosa's only real Teppanyaki Restaurant where the chef custom grills your food in front of you, and provides memorable entertainment.

They are quickly becoming a local favorite dining venue for a special night out and now that it is summer the luxury of air condition comfort while enjoying a theatrical fire display is even more of a reason to visit Yen. The unique style of Japanese dining is a something sure to satisfy anybody who loves barbecue and after a delicious custom grilled meal and a memorable mealtime filled with smiles and laughter, you will want to go back time and time again.

Yen Teppanyaki has been receiving some great feedback from kids calling it the best

restaurant ever and fine diners saying the food is absolutely beautiful. The general response has been "we'll be back!"

Teppanyaki is a banquet style meal, which includes soup, salad, mains you choose, and dessert. Diners can choose from Angus or Wagyu steaks, large local prawns, lamb, salmon, chicken, scallops and more.

Vegetarians can choose miso grilled eggplant, teriyaki mushrooms or tofu, vegetable tempera, and more.

Yen Teppanyaki offers a manageable cultural dining experience which is Japanese enough to be unique and exciting, but able to satisfy Aussie diners with beautifully grilled fresh meat, seafood and vegetables.

Their array of Japanese tapas, include traditional gyoza dumplings, karaage fried chicken, sushi, and tempura.

40%= 2337% %2( 8)) 94 % 092', 74)'-%0

The Teppanyaki experience is like no other!

What a great venue for Christmas parties, staff appreciation parties, club get togethers, kid's parties, and hen's nights.

THREE WINS AND A CENTURY

BY RANDALL WOODLEY Senior Cricket with Randall Woodley Three of the senior Tewantin-Noosa Thunder cricket teams had good wins last weekend and Ben Gear scored the club's first century of the season. The Firsts scored their second outright win in a row with the Seconds and Thirds achieving first-innings point wins.

FIRSTS. As expected, the RSL First Grade team were able to bowl the Yandina Pioneers out a second time without having to bat again, gaining a well-deserved outright win. Starting Day 2, 150 runs behind, Yandina were soon in trouble at 222 with opening bowlers, Scott Aufderheide and Tom Freshwater taking a wicket each.

After 13 overs with the score on 2-31, Lachie Gunner (2-2 off 7) and Jarrod Officer (3-8 off 7) replaced them and between them they took the next 5 wickets for 16 runs. Yandina were 7 for 47 at lunch and after the break, Cody Rzeszkowski (2-16) and youngster Tom Stewart (1-2) completed the job, having Yandina all out for 66. Interesting to note that the 10 second innings Yandina wickets were all out "caught". Final scores were Yandina 69 and 66; TNT 219.

This was a well-deserved win, and featured the strong bowling attack of this year's First Grade team. The other highlights were the keeping of Troy Dennien who has now taken 15 catches in the last 4 innings and Scott Aufderheide, who is equal leader in the S.C.C.A. competition with his 15 wickets. However, with tougher games ahead, the batsmen will need to do their part and back up the early season form of the bowlers. Next Saturday the TNT boys will play Maroochydore at Buderim.

SECONDS were home against Burpengary who had posted 151 runs on Day 1. Beginning Day 2, TNT were 2 down for 43 and needed to score the required runs without throwing away their wickets.

The team was boosted by the return of Ben Gear to their batting line-up and in his first innings for the club this season, he scored a brilliant 100. TNT finished on 236 with other good contributions from Reid Campbell 32 and Adam Curry 22.

Unfortunately, there were not too many

other batsmen who went on with their starts. This will need to improve if the team is going to be a threat in the competition.

At stumps Burpengary were 2-93 giving the TNT Seconds their first win of the season. Next Saturday they are home again at Read Park, playing Coolum.

THIRDS. The team were playing Cooroy-Eumundi Club at Cooroy and started Day 2 at 0 for 7. On the previous Saturday the opposition had posted a competitive total of 181 but the TNT boys were positive they could run down this score. They batted most of the afternoon with patience, and eventually reached a winning score of 9 declared for 202. Best scores were from veteran Kent Officer (70), Blake O'Donnell (44) and captain Jason Toohey (34). Cooroy-Eumundi batted a second time and at stumps were 1-36. Good win for the TNT team. Their next match (round 4), starting next Saturday is against the Landsborough Club at Dale Officer Oval.

FOURTHS. The team lost their twoday match to Palmwoods last Saturday but showed much improvement in their second innings batting. After being dismissed in Day 1 for 103, the TNT boys toiled hard to restrict the strong Palmwoods batting lineup to 174. Best of the TNT bowlers were Luke Anstey 2-38, Brenden Chaplin 3-40, Brian Lee 1-17 and Graham Chaplin 3-20.

In the team's second dig, Craig Moore (17) and Andrew Paltridge (14) opened the batting but both fell close together.

After losing another wicket the team was in trouble but youngster, Jack Saunders (34) came out and steadied the ship for the second week in a row. Then Brenden Chaplin (57) and his father, Graham stayed together for 40 minutes. Late in the day Brenden was joined by Justin Talbot and they put on an entertaining 55 followed by a 25 run partnership at the end between Brenden and Justin Latimer which saw the team safely to the close of play at 8 for 174. Overall the team's bowling was pretty good but they will need to show a bit more patience with the bat in their next match against Maroochydore. ●

KIDS NEED POOL SUPERVISION r u Want yo classified to stand out?

Call 5455 6946 Kids up to 10 years of age will need to be closely supervised by parents or carers and those under six years will need a responsible adult in the water with them under new regulations coming in from 1 December at the Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC) NAC coordinator Stephen James said the centre would be adopting the Royal Life Saving Society’s Keep Watch program in order to maximise kids’ safety.

“Lifeguards are not babysitters and they simply cannot supervise and respond to every patron’s needs simultaneously, which is

why parental supervision is critical,” he said.

“Children can get into strife in the water at any time and can drown in as little as 20 seconds - less time than it takes to type a text message! With phone use from parents at the NAC on the rise we’re imploring parents to watch their child, not their phone.”

Luke and Beth McKenzie, who regularly take their kids to the NAC, said being in the water with them was good for the family.

From December 1, children aged five and under will no longer attract an entry fee when accompanied by a paying adult. ●

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

JULIAN’S TIME TO SHINE Having watched his emergence as a surfer from his puka-shelled pin-up grom days at the earliest Noosa surf festivals, it is hard for me to believe that Julian Wilson turned 30 last week.

I'm sure he had a wonderful celebration with family and friends at Coolum, and I hope he wasn't too distracted by the pressure of the weeks that lie ahead, but the fact remains that after seven years on the elite world tour, and about double that in the glare of the global spotlight as the NEXT BIG THING, now is Julian's time to shine.

Apart from Mark Occhilupo in 1999, no one has ever won a maiden WSL world title over the age of 30. Of course, the greatest of all time (Kelly Slater) rewrote the record book by winning several of his 11 after that age, but few surfers of Julian Wilson's class have knocked on the door for so long without busting it down.

Sitting at equal second (with Filipe Toledo) some 4,740 points behind the 2014 world champion Gabriel Medina, Julian is in the best position of his career to take the title at the Billabong Pipeline Masters next month, but it will be no easy ride. According to WSL number cruncher Al Hunt, here's what he (or Toledo) has to do: If Medina finishes first or second at Pipeline he wins the World Title. If Medina places third at Pipeline, Wilson and Toledo will need a first to win the World Title. If Medina finishes fifth or worse at Pipeline, Wilson and Toledo will need to make the final to win the World Title.

Both Julian and Gabe Medina have won at Pipe (in 2014 Julian beat Gabe in the final) while Toledo's best finish there has been fifth. So on paper it would be Julian taking it to Gabe, hopefully in the quarters or semis, but Toledo's form on the North Shore has improved so radically in the past year or so that he can't be written off as under-gunned.

No doubt we'll know more this week as he defends his Hawaiian Pro title at Haleiwa in one of the two qualifying series curtain raisers to the world title showdown.

On the positive side, Julian has had a stellar year and is finally in career-best form, with two tour victories and a strong second already to his credit this year. The season-opening Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast may have been his most courageous victory, in agony from a serious shoulder injury as he manhandled his way through deep, thick Kirra barrels. And when he won the Quiksilver Pro France in Hossegor last month, his maturity as a man

shone through when he acknowledged the late Pierre Agnes, who had mentored him through the "Young Guns" period that set him up for a pro career.

Out of the water, Julian and wife Ashley welcomed their first child, Olivia, in March, and his pride and love of family has been evident every time he's on the podium. He looks like he's having the time of his life,

and he is.

Now he's just got to get the monkey off his back and win the bloody thing! And then keep winning 'em! Go Jules!

Meanwhile, at the other end of the rankings, several world tour surfers' careers hang in the balance going into this week's Hawaiian Pro. With current tour surfers Kanoa Igarashi and Griffin Colapinto

looking set to double qualify, it looks like Australia's Mikey Wright and Italy's Leo Fioravanti might squeak in if they can hold the line at Haleiwa and Sunset. Two of the most exciting goofy-footers on the big tour, Brazil's Yago Dora and France's Joan Duru, are both right on the edge of requalification and will be looking for good results at Pipe to see them over the line.

Sadly, crowd-pleasing Matt Wilkinson needs a minor miracle at Pipe to claw his way back for 2019.

On the women's tour, it will take a train to keep Steph Gilmore from equalling Layne Beachley's record seven world titles when the final event, the Beachwaver Maui Pro, begins at Honolua Bay in just over a week.

With three wins already this year, and going in as defending champion at a break she loves, Steph can be expected to put the disappointing European leg behind her and clinch the title.

At the other end of the spectrum, twotimes world champ Tyler Wright goes into Honolua fighting for her place on tour, but she's too good a surfer to write off. I think she'll do it.

FOOTNOTE: As I write, horrific images are coming in from California, with fires now roaring down the Santa Monica Mountains towards Malibu, which has already been evacuated. The Noosa longboarding community has had strong ties with our fellow World Surfing Reserve across the Pacific, and with the Malibu Surfing Association for many years, including annual reciprocal visits for many of us, and I know that everyone here will be sending thoughts and prayers to all our friends during this frightening time. ●

BETWEEN THE FLAGS

RON LANE

SURF CLUB HONORS VETERAN On Sunday morning life members honored guests and members of the Noosa boating fraternity gathered on Noosa's Main Beach for the launching and naming of a new surf boat. The boat which came to Noosa under the sponsorship of Richardson and Wrench Real Estate Coolum/Noosa branches was built by Clymer; a boat builder acknowledged as Australia's finest.

After words of welcome from a club official head boat coach and sweep Dave Tomba then personally introduced sponsors representatives Mark and Maree Lawler and thanked them for their companies' outstanding contribution.

Then followed a tradition now practiced in many clubs; naming boats after a member who has made not only an outstanding contribution to the boat section, but also the club and lifesaving in general. The member to be so honored was Phil Cave longest serving Life Member of Noosa.

Phil joined the Noosa Club in 1946 and obtained his bronze along with his brother Maurie the following year. As young men the brothers had served their country during WW2.

Phil's career for his club was outstanding.

Apart from his patrol obligations he also competed in the March Past team and the blue ribbon event of the time the Rescue and Resuscitation; commonly known as the R&R. Also he served as a reserve crew man for the boat.

In management he obtained his

Instructors Certificate and in 1950 went on to become an Examiner. Later that year he was appointed to the all-important position of club chief instructor. It was during 1949 that he was selected in the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia Instructional Team to visit Tasmania: team of 26 instructors from N.S.W Queensland and Western Australia. "Our job was to promote

HOOK, LINE & SINKER

lifesaving and help the local clubs. A few years later a local club hosted the Australian titles for the first time in the state's history."

Another highlight of his club life was his ability as a body surfer, with future generations regarding him as our master of the art.

Another happy memory was that through life saving he met his future wife Nancy; they met in 1952 and married in

1953. In winter his sport was rugby league playing for Rainbows in Gympie; this resulted in his being picked in the Gympie representative team. For his income he was a farmer and as a local went on to serve on the Noosa Shire Council.

Now at age 94 along with wife Nancy he still visits his club for a social drink and a meal on the verandah.

In his address to the gathering David Tomba spoke of the traditions of the sea and boats when he said, ''Today we come to name this lady The Phil Cave and send her to sea to be cared for, and to care for the Noosa Heads S.L.S.C. Boat Family. We ask the sailors of old and the mood of God that is the sea, to accept the Phil Cave as her name to help her through passages and allow her to return with her crew safely.''

With that Maree Lawler came forward and poured the traditional champagne across the bow with Phil Cave wife Nancy and life member Lenore Grice in attendance. A day to remember.

Next week we talk competition with our Sunshine and Noosa Coaches. ●

JACK MANGROVE

THERE’S PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM IN THE NOOSA RIVER! With the Winds blowing pretty consistently last week, those in smaller craft had to hang in close or fish the river. For those that did get offshore some nice trout have come from sunshine reef with live baits fished hard to the bottom the most productive.

Also from Sunshine we have seen some good parrot, maori cod, jew, Mac Tuna and the odd spotted or school mackerel. Cobia numbers have been strong all year and these fish are always happy to swim mid water so floater baits fished around reef edges have been working well. With this week's forecast looking great with light south-easterly and very little swell every man and his dog will be offshore.

Mangrove jacks have been plentiful in the Noosa River, good numbers of jacks have come from the jetties and sand bags around the Munna point and woods bays areas. Baits have been the most productive, gang hooked pilchards and mullet strips, rigged with 15-25lb leader has been the best technique for landing these fiery red devils.

Paddle tail soft plastics in the 4 inch size have also been doing the trick with, red and gold being the popular colours. Families have been enjoying the river with plenty of quality whiting from the lower reaches.

Gympie Terrace, the Dog beach and the Frying pan have all produced great catches of fish. Live worms baits, yabbies and pealed prawns have all helped anglers catch noosatoday.com.au

some awesome fish. Still good numbers of flathead on the outgoing tide from around the frying pan and in the woods bays. Good numbers of Golden Trevally, GT's and Queenfish have been reported throughout the entire river. Prawns, Pilchard and Yabbies have been the best baits for these fish. When lure fishing lures anglers have had success with surface walkers and poppers along with 2-3" Curly tail grub style plastics, the best places to come into contact have been around the Woods bay and Jet Ski run areas. Mud crabs are being caught along the mangrove edges toward Lake Cooroibah and around the Jew Hole, with mullet heads and frames being the best choices for bait.

Beaches such as Third cutting toward Teewah, Sunshine and Castaways have been producing good numbers of small dart, Whiting, Flathead and Bream. Lightly weighted baits like; live worms and strips of Mullet have been working well on lighter outfits using a running sinker rig. If you want to get into the deep gutters further out, use larger paternoster rigs fitted with a surf popper on the top dropper, this technique will allow you a chance at catching a few Tailor during your fast retrievals through the surf.

So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! ●
