THE LATEST IN FOOD

With Hastings Street filling up with tourists and planes taking to our skies what's going on in Noosa?

It'll all be forgotten by the weekend when the school holidays begin and holiday makers arrive to enjoy the paradise we all know and love.

There are plenty of things to do to keep the kids occupied.

Try the beach, take a walk in Noosa Heads National Park and see if you can spot the koala seen recently at Tea Tree Bay. Have a surf, give a SUP a go or just hire a boat and cruise the Noosa River.

There are markets aplenty across the shire.

And if you're looking for some indoor entertainment the libraries have holiday activities organised or go to the theatre. The production of Aladdin Jr will be performed during the holidays at The J Theatre, Noosa Junction. ● - Margaret Maccoll

One of Noosa National Park's beloved koalas, a five-year-old female known as Aggie passed away last week.

Queensland Koala Crusaders (QKC) president Meghan Halverson said despite treatment Aggie succumbed to chlamydia.

"We gave her the best chance," Meghan said. Unfortunately her bladder wall was so thickened because of the illness she was unable to survive.

Aggie had been struggling with the disease for some time having last year been rescued in the carpark at Noosa National Park due to her sudden weight loss and stained bottom and taken for treatment to RSPCA Wacol.

Noosa National Park has long been a safe haven for koalas. Visitors from around the world, as well as locals, visit the park to try to spot one in the wild.

Photographer Bernard Jean who documents the national park koalas through his photography and regularly checks on their well being knew Aggie well.

She would look up at him in recognition when he visited.

Together with QKC Bernard is compiling a collection of photos and words into a booklet on Aggie's life as he did for Noosa's most famous koala, Cuddles, who lived at Tea Tree Bay before passing away.

Cuddles delighted visitors whose faces

Proceeds from the book will go toward the work of QKC. Visit www.koalacrusaders.org.au ● noosatoday.com.au

WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THIS WEEK NOOSAVILLE YOUTH CHARGED OVER AMBULANCE GRAFFITI

COUNCIL BUDGET Residents on the minimum general rate which is the majority will face a 2.5% or $36.50 rate increase, which includes a $10 increase in the Environment Levy to fund the Noosa River Plan and a $7.50 increase to cover the 3-bin system, in Noosa's Budget which will be adopted at a Special Council Meeting on Friday beginning at 9.30am.

The big winners in Council's $28 million Capital Works spending are Peregian Beach and North Shore with $3.4 million going toward a two-year community centre and park project at Peregian Beach and $500,000 to build a new amenities block. The North Shore Beachside Campground upgrade will receive $2.4 million with Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington saying the campground was an income generating asset for Council. "It's important that we demonstrate world's best practice at this environmentally sensitive site," he said.

Council will spend $1.8 million to rebuild Orealla Bridge at Sunrise Beach.

It will put $300,000 toward the Cooroy

Hinterland playground with $4.4 million earmarked for the project in the 2020/21 budget.

The budget will allocate $1.2million towards the replacement of Gympie Terrace stormwater drains.

Major road spending will include a $1.8M allocation to upgrade the Ernest Street/Hilton Terrace intersection and $1.3 million to complete the upgrade of Black Mountain Road. There will be two gravel roads sealed with $250,000 spent to seal Tewah Road at Boreen Point and $200,000 to seal Ambulance Street, Pomona.

Noosa Aquatic Centre will undergo a $932,000 refurbishment comprising a new roof and decking, prior to the installation of solar panels.

And $500,000 will be spent on bus shelters to meet new disability access standards.

"Overall, this is a sensible and responsible budget," Cr Wellington said. ●

A sixteen year old Noosaville youth has been prosecuted with multiple offences allegedly committed across Noosa Waters over the last few weeks.

An investigation by Noosa general duties officers and Child Protection Detectives resulted in the youth being charged with wilfully damaging an ambulance along with Noosa Shire Council property. He was further charged with Enter Premises and Commit an Indictable Offence, Possess Knife in a Public Place and Obstructing Police.

He will appear in the Maroochydore Children's Court on 10 July.

The same youth was also prosecuted by police four weeks ago for multiple offences

of graffiti caused to public property across Noosa Waters in recent weeks.

Detectives from the Noosa Heads Child Protection Unit worked with the youth in identifying multiple instances of graffiti caused by him. In turn he was referred to the Graffiti Diversion Program whereby youths are tasked with cleaning graffiti from public areas as an alternative to the youth justice system. It is hoped by having the youth clean up graffiti it acts as a deterrent for further offending.

Noosa Heads Police said that they are appreciative of the excellent assistance provided by the residents of Noosa Waters during this investigation. ●

A Noosaville youth has been charged with wilfully damaging an ambulance.

Mayor Tony Wellington went into damage control after media reports which he branded a "beat up" suggested Noosa was "trying to stop tourism and putting out the full sign".

"We're not putting up stop signs. We're not at crisis point," Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington told ABC radio's Steve Austin last Thursday.On Monday Cr Wellington posted a message to Tourism Noosa members to explain how "the Courier Mail had cherry-picked a few quotes from my interview and run it as a front page story along with an hysterical headline".

He told Noosa Today his comment Noosa was on "the cusp" of over tourism was in reference to the anticipated population boom on our doorstep.

"The State Government's South East Queensland Regional Plan suggests that South East Queensland will have to make room for an additional 2 million people by 2041. Our immediate neighbour to the south, the Sunshine Coast Council, is predicted to accomodate an additional 200,000 people," he said.

"All of this will increase the pressure on Noosa, particularly with regard to the number of day visitors who want to drive into the shire, and to Main Beach in particular, just for the day.

"The point that I was making is that we need to get our collective heads around this noosatoday.com.au

NOOSA NOT FULL JUST YET

Mayor Tony Wellington looming issue now, before it becomes a big problem. That seems the sensible thing to do, to work towards future scenarios - to be proactive rather than simply reactive to looming issues facing Noosa."

Cr Wellington said when he did a live interview on Channel 7's Sunrise it was conducted to get his message across that the story was a "media beat-up", he said.

"At no stage did I ever suggest that we need to put up a "full" sign now, as the Courier-Mail's headline suggests," he said.

Cr Wellington did admit to ABC Noosa Council would probably do an acceptable limit study, looking at the ideal number of people in each locale. ●

LIFE’S A CIRCUS

BY MARGARET MACCOLL he spectacle, glamour and extraordinary acts of the circus so gripped John Le Mare as a young boy in post WWII in England in the 1940s it left a fascination that continues today for the 82-year-old.His fascination with the circus is shared by his wife Angela and taken them on a journey rubbing shoulders with royalty and mixing with incredibly talented performers and exotic animals.

John realised how the circus brought together people of many nationalities, who had been at war, but could work together so creatively and harmoniously.

"I thought after school that's where I would work," he said.

The Tewantin couple started by visiting circuses and getting to know the people behind the Big Top, eventually gaining their trust and in the 1990s established a stationary box office to sell tickets to Australian's travelling circuses.

"We saw there was a need for it. While

they were moving around they couldn't man a ticket office," Angela said. "We had a dedicated phone line for it. We found a lot of people wanted to buy tickets in the middle of the night."

The business which began with two circuses moved online and grew as more circuses came on board. As their acceptance increased among the often family-run businesses John's roles have expanded to include secretary and treasurer for the Circus Federation of Australia.

Australia has 10 travelling circuses as well as receiving visits from international circuses including Cirque De Soleil which has just announced its latest Australian tour in October titled Kurios.

In the early 2000s Prince Rainier of Monaco who was also fascinated by circus wanted to set up a World Circus Federation.

Unfortunately he passed away in 2005 before his dream was realised but the federation came to fruition in 2008 under the patronage of his daughter Princess Stephanie.

Until his retirement this year and with

Thursday, 27 June, 2019

the blessing of the Australian circuses John took on the role of founding director representing Australasia for the World Circus Federation, which is based in Monte Carlo. He worked alongside fellow directors who represented Europe, South Africa, USA, Canada and Monaco.

His role involved representing circuses and circus interests including circus schools of which there are about 90 in Australia.

"We spend a lot of time advocating for circuses," John said.

Educating children of travelling artists to a country standard, workplace health and safety and the intangible world heritage of the circus were also issues under his concern as was animal welfare and animal husbandry.

John became an adviser to the Australian and state governments when it came to matters of circus animal welfare.

"The Australian Government, about 18 years ago decided to collect representatives from all bodies in Australia that used animals to get a standard of husbandry," he said.

John joined representatives from farming and rodeo operators to police and service dog organisations along with animal welfare organisations including the RSPCA and together they created booklets that are used as guides for animal husbandry. For the circus people it was the Welfare of Animals in Circuses booklet, which was published in 2003.

"It keeps them on their toes," he said.

"We were well represented from the circus by people who for generations have looked after animals.

"People who work with animals tend to love their animals. If the animals didn't they wouldn't be that cooperative. You have to have a good relationship with them."

While circuses in some countries overseas continue to have large numbers of animals those in Australia have come under a lot of criticism. A lot of unfair criticism, John said.

"There's a small feeling in the community that it's not an appropriate place for animals," he said. noosatoday.com.au

Public protests, stricter laws and the costs of transporting animals have reduced the number and type, particularly exotic, of animals now in circuses.

Attitudes to the use of animals have changed over the years. In the 1970s for example the Bullens family who ran the Bullens African Lion Safari Park on the Gold Coast which opened in 1969 paraded their elephants down the main street of the city.

Living at their home in NSW with their animals one of the children one day took an elephant to school for show and tell, John said.

Historically a travelling circus provided the only opportunity for many people to see exotic animals.

A world highlight of the circus world which takes place every year is the international festival created by Prince Rainier in the 1970's and occurs in January.

This year was the forty-third International Monte Carlo Festival and the eleventh that John and Angela have attended.

John said the royal family were very involved in the operations of the circus federation and for the festival Princess Stephanie helps select the acts and attends rehearsals.

"We are continually amazed at the elaborate way the Russians look at circus," Angela said. "They spend massive amounts of money for costumes."

Over the years the couple have noticed the way acts have become more extreme and dangerous.

"People are doing more and more cutting edge acrobatics," Angela said.

Recognition for a job well done.

While it looks dangerous safety is paramount and the artists work with safety harnesses and people known as spotters whose sole job is to watch the performers and break their fall should they slip.

"In 43 years there's only been one fatality in Monte Carlo," John said. "It was a motorcyclist during rehearsal."

John and Angela continue to be amazed by the extraordinary feats performed by circus performers around the world and their different styles.

Among the standouts are a Korean acrobat who has succeeded in performing five somersaults through the air and one member of the Wallenda family who once walked on a tightrope across the Grand Canyon from the US to Canada.

On arrival in Canada, customs asked his reason for travel. "To inspire the world," was his response.

"They're always trying to go one better," Angela said. "We just enjoy it."

John and Angela Le Mare continue to co-direct 365Tix which provides back office online ticketing services for nine major Australian travelling circuses and they attend circuses in Australia and across the world whenever they have the chance. Over the last few years, they have shared their experiences with U3A members and other people in the Noosa area and wowed them with the exploits of performers at the Monte Carlo Festival and other circuses.

The couple's influence has been instrumental in the delivery this year of the Australian Circus Festival to Brisbane for the first time.

The festival will bring together circuses across Australia under the Hudson Circus Big Top and be held in NovemberDecember at Mitchelton football ground.

WHALE FREED FROM SHARK NET A Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol's Marine Animal Release Team (MART) successfully freed a whale last week from shark control equipment off Rainbow Beach on the Sunshine Coast.

Queensland Shark Control Program Manager Jeff Krause said the Sunshine Coast Marine Animal Release Team successfully released the 7-8 metre whale free from the nets at approximately 1.15pm.

"The Marine Animal Release Team was activated after the whale entanglement was reported by a local surf lifesaver and local Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service," Mr Krause said.

"The whale was breathing and in a calm condition while it was being released and

swam away strongly after being released.

Mr Krause said whale entanglements in shark nets were rare events.

"Queensland is blessed to have an estimated more than 33,000 whales pass along our coast every year," Mr Krause said.

"Since 2006, the Fisheries Queensland Marine Animal Release teams have successfully released all but two whales.

"During the 2018 humpback whale migration six whales were caught in Shark Control Program apparatus and all were successfully released alive."

This is the first whale this migration season to be caught in Queensland's shark nets. â—?

PATROLS TAKING TO THE SKIES TO PROTECT FISHERIES Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol officers are putting an eye in the sky to help protect our state's fisheries resources with drones being deployed at key locations.

Fisheries Minister Mark Furner said a fleet of 10 drones would be used by compliance officers to extend their surveillance reach.

"By its nature, Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol field work can be

hazardous and officers at times operate in difficult and often isolated environments," Mr Furner said.

"The new drones will allow Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol officers to monitor marine habitats and fishing operations from a distance."

The ten drones have been deployed to the Gold Coast, Warwick, Noosa, Hervey Bay Bundaberg, Mackay, Townsville,

Cairns, Karumba and in Brisbane, with trained pilots in each of these locations.

"Footage from these drones could be used to gather intelligence, prosecute people who break the rules and support training of the Marine Animal Rescue Team," Mr Furner said.

The Minister said the Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol monitored the compliance of more than 642,000

recreational fishers and 1700 commercial fishing licence holders statewide.

"Protecting this resource is building a legacy of a sustainable fishery for our children and grandchildren," he said.

Body cameras and new surveillance kits have also been rolled out across the State to help officers identify anybody breaking the rules. â—?

THE BOLTON REPORT

SANDY BOLTON, NOOSA MP

NO MORE BULLYING - THE ASPIRATION The gap between Budget Week 2019 and upcoming estimates offered opportunity to grab a moment with loved ones, and take time to look at what is transpiring, what is inspiring, and what is 'aspiring' at the 'midyear' mark.

Putting together estimate questions may not sound that inspiring, however from a location that has recovered from the horrors of the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami, and an aftermath including deep economic, social and environmental wounds, it is. People smile and are grateful for the smallest of offerings and kind words here, however you can feel their loss, sorrow and sadness buried deep.

Surprisingly, they have not held onto bitterness, hatred or seek retribution for what happened that day. They tell me they have moved on and will not be defined by the tragedy, which could be classified as an extreme weather event, attributable to climate change, the Lords wrath, an incompetent Government/Department, or a number of other 'blames'?

Instead their healing comes from not labelling the 'who, what and why', nor seeking an apology or defining the reason.

It comes from acceptance ... .this time of Mother Nature, on one side insurmountably beautiful and grounding, on the other a force with angry outbursts and tendency to violence. Resilience, belief and the concentration on repairing and rebuilding has been key. We could learn much from this.

In the 'transpiring' realm, after previously seeing great improvements in behaviour on Facebook, there has been a decline with a number of posts attacking our local Council, Councillors, not for profit organisations and individuals, often without their being made aware by a lack of 'tagging'.

The reason? They don't want a response, question answered or a discussion, they want to spread misinformation and hurt.

A plethora of offerings and accusations has prevailed, and from comments in response sadly some Facebookers are subscribing to this form of bullying and abuse - which is what it is. Remember, if it looks like, sounds like and smells like 'bait', on Facebook or in newspaper headlines, it often is.

There are processes for legitimate complaints and concerns, and to denigrate people, organisations or businesses in a public manner, often without their knowledge, is not acceptable. Readers please alert your friends that to 'like' or agree to these offerings is supporting bullying and encourages outrage instead of discussion to resolve. Help create the future we are fighting for by clearly articulating and using processes to deal with any wrong doings, and ask any potential candidates (yes there is a local government election around the corner), to state their offer and how they will do it, without resorting to dragging down the opposition.

Even though as a State MP I am to stay

out of Council business - I have made it clear in every election that I am determined to see an end to the disgraceful behaviour and bullying in our communities and at all levels of government - not only during campaigns, but also in Parliament and on the streets. Yes, that is the 'aspirational' part of the 'inspire and transpire' equation. So please give anyone you know who has been involved in these shenanigans the heads up- and a few hashtags? #enoughisenough #nomore In summary - 'click bait' on social media creating conundrum chews into valuable resources without any results, and can be 'smoke and mirrors' with political and other agendas. We need to spend our time tackling our real issues, and we have plenty of those - health, violence, homelessness and jobs to name but a few.

As I said in my Budget Reply speech - it is time to stop 'politicking', forget about getting elected or re-elected, and just put the wellbeing of our communities and their future first.

And for anyone who is serious about helping out, as an Ambassador for the Vinnie's Corporate & Community Sleepout, I welcome you to join me with your swag on Aug 8, or if not, donate any small amount via www.communitysleepout.org.au you will find me in the Sunshine Coast section.

Yes it will be chilly, but the soup hot, and the discussion very important.

Until next time, Sandy ●

FLIGHT PATH BATTLE INCREASES THRUST

BY MARGARET MACCOLL Noosa residents packed The J Theatre at Noosa Junction on Saturday to find out whether the proposed Sunshine Coast Airport flight paths would bring A330 passenger flights daily over their houses at a noise rate of 60-70 decibels and what steps were planned to prevent this happening.

At the forum community group Flight Path Forum (FPF) asked invited guests a number of questions but before this attendees participated via their iPhones in a Menti survey on the issue with results displayed immediately on screen.

The survey results showed overwhelmingly the greatest concern of attendees was the noise impact from flight paths, followed by the environmental impact, curfew, property values and emissions.

It showed less than half of residents were in Noosa when an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was conducted in 2014 and most people did not receive notification from Air Services Australia, the Sunshine Coast Airport or Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) about information sessions held in March and April this year.

Of those who attended one of the ASA informational meetings about half left feeling uninformed or confused.

Wide Bay MP Llew O'Brien did not attend the meeting due to illness but in response to questions said he was committed to voicing the very serious concerns of the community about the flight path impacts and the way consultation had been conducted with ASA and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack who was the Minister with authority on the issue.

Fairfax MP Ted O'Brien attended and having had previous discussions with FPF and SCC and Noosa Council Mayors and passed along a 60-page community consultation report prepared by the FPF's Charlotte Wensley and containing serious concerns to ASA and Deputy Prime Minister told the forum ASA had given assurance issues raised would be considered.

He said ASA had agreed to facilitate a roundtable stakeholder forum in the first week of July before the preferred flight paths were furnished.

Neither SCC Mayor Mark Jamieson nor ASA representatives attended the meeting.

In a statement Cr Jamieson said the EIS and flight path options had been developed by qualified consultants with consideration given for an optimum outcome for safety and environmental impact and the least number of households being impacted.

In another statement ASA said they were considering all feedback in flight path design and would release consultation feedback in early July to show how their considerations would form part of their flight path decisions which they would lodge with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) on 29 July.

When asked about the possible impact of flight paths on property values Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington said while council did not determine property valuations research showed it may have an impact in the short term but studies have shown it had little long term impact.

While Noosa residents regard their situation spare a thought for the impact of flight paths over Mudjimba.

Mudjimba Residents Association spokesman Martin Peelgrane told the forum as a result of changes made by SCC 10 NOOSA TODAY

He said the group of residents would be forced to install double glazing and insulation to reduce the noise impacts. They were seeking compensation but were told they had to first experience the damages, and faced with prohibitive legal costs to obtain compensation would probably look at a class action.

"They've moved the flight paths over our houses and we think they should pay," he said.

FPF legal spokesman Andre Van Zyl described the flight path issue as "the biggest

Thursday, 27 June, 2019

shambles we've ever seen". He said PFP had engaged a lawyer and barrister and to date $20,000 had been raised of a $50,000 target to cover legal costs in what could be a long and protracted case.

Mr Van Zyl said the next but short term option was to obtain an intervention in the registration process for proposed flight paths, by calling on Federal MPs and Deputy Prime Minister or through legal measures.

He said the community then needed to establish a stakeholder engagement panel to develop a solution in the best interests of the greater community and ensure the community has a say in the outcome and see that what has been agreed upon will be implemented. "We haven't got a solution," he said. "It can only come out of a panel". â—?

FOCUS ON … Health Matters

CREATE THE LIFE YOU ALWAYS WANTED Noosa local Ashlee Jellis spent years not enjoying her life to the full extent until she discovered a way to free her mind, and she is now helping others do the same.

If you have ever felt anxious, depressed, or stressed, Ashlee has been there too.

"I was clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety five years ago and would alienate myself from friends because I didn't want anyone to have to 'deal' with my stuff," she said.

"I felt disempowered, disconnected, unsure of myself, insecure and lacked confidence.

"And no matter how often I'd see a therapist, how many self-help books I read, personal development courses I attended, and healing modalities I studied, nothing seemed to change much, that is until I was introduced to Access Consciousness and The Bars."

"I remember when I got off the table after my first Bars session, I was a completely different woman. My monkey mind was silent, my mind was clear and I felt a sense of space I had never felt before. The anxiety I felt before the session was a distant memory, and I was more relaxed than I could ever remember being," she said.

Since being introduced to The Bars, Ashlee has become a certified Access Consciousness and Bars Facilitator and wants to share this healing modality with the world.

"Access Consciousness offers you a set of tools and processes which empower you

to change anything in your life that is not working for you, you once thought was impossible to change."

The foundation of Access Consciousness is an energetic hands-on body technique called The Bars.

The Bars are 32 points on the head that when lightly touched release the electromagnetic charge of the fixed thoughts, feelings, emotions and limiting beliefs that are locked in your body and mind, which keep you 'stuck' and looping back to the same 'problems' in your lifewhether that be with money, your body, in your relationships, your business, or with your family.

Ashlee will be at the Heal Yourself Expo in Maroochydore on July 27-28 at stall 28 and 29.

Ashlee sees clients for private (60 or 90 minute) Bars sessions in Doonan, and also teaches others this gentle, hands on technique in a one-day certified class.

SOCIAL SCENE

EXPO SPARKS COMMUNITY INTEREST

BY MARGARET MACCOLL Visitors travelled statewide and interstate to see the latest in electric vehicle technology at the Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) organised Electric Vehicle Expo on Saturday while exhibitors journeyed even further with one urban transporter arriving by boat from China last week for its first showing in Australia.

Electric powered and with its small size the emotion concepts three-wheel cargo carrier offers solutions to problems of traffic congestion, emissions and parking, emotion concepts director Wolfgang Roffmann said.

ZEN president Vivien Griffin said the changing market was demonstrated by the range of vehicles on show at the expo from high end producers including Jaguar and Renault to privately built vehicles.

Daniel Keating brought his Voltrium electric personal mobility scooters from Melbourne to the expo. Daniel said people from all walks of life including tradies, campers and golfers, as it has a golf attachment, were interested in the vehicle.

While a motor bike and a racing cart created by engineers from two separate universities were also on show at the university.

University of Queensland engineer Karl Richards said he designed and built his Ducavelo electric motor bike because he wanted to show "what could be done as an urban commuter". He said it was fun, had style and was low maintenance.

Engineer Mark Burridge built his electric racing kart as a project for Central Queensland University. Mark said the kart was "almost silent", accelerated quickly and was very fast. He said he believed it was the only fully electric racing kart in Australia and had attracted a lot of interest at the expo.

Ms Griffin was buoyed by the crowds that attended the event and said the exhibitors were very happy with the interest shown in their vehicles. â—?

KOALA FOREST REGROWTH BEGINS WITH THESE VOLUNTEERS

BY MARGARET MACCOLL More than 120 volunteers gathered on McKinnon Road last Saturday morning to plant 1500 trees which marked the beginning of a 60 hectare project to regenerate former timber plantation land back to natural bushland, thanks to a $160,000 grant from the Body Shop.

Queensland Koala Crusaders president Meghan Halverson and Noosa Landcare business development officer Rachel Lyons worked together to obtain the funding which included $90,000 from the Body Shop UK Biobridge project and another $72,000 from the Body Shop Australia through the sale of koala hand towels and hand bands.

Rachel said the project was one of three in the world chosen for funding by the Biobridge project that aims to build wildlife corridors across the world and at Noosa plans to plant more than 12,000 eucalyptus trees to help the threatened koala population to thrive again.

In addition Peppers Noosa has raised another $30,000 towards tree planting in an ongoing project that donates $2 from each person attending a conference at the resort.

The 60ha site is the first area of a 2400 ha timber plantation stretching from Pomona to Noosa River being purchased from HQ Plantations through a partnership between 14 NOOSA TODAY

|

Noosa Council, Noosa Parks Association and the Queensland Government.

Rachel said plantation timber had been harvested from 300ha of the Ringtail State Forest and the land receded to become natural bushland with the help of weeding and tree planting. She was thrilled with the attendance on Saturday."It shows the level of support in the community for the project," she said.

Among the tree planters was the Bebendorf family who have been watching the project's progress and waiting for the opportunity to become involved."We go past everyday and can watch the trees grow," Laura Bebendorf said. â—?

MARKING 50 YEARS OF NOOSA ROTARY

BY ABBEY CANNAN Rotary Club of Noosa has celebrated the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Club which allows ordinary people to achieve some extraordinary things.

Rotarians, dignitaries and members of the public filled the Tewantin Noosa RSL's function room for a celebration party held in conjunction with the changeover dinner on Monday 24 June.

Rotary Club of Noosa's first female President and current Vice President Tess Alexandroff said the Club was chartered on 24 February 1969 with 28 members who were all male.

"Women were not introduced into the Club as members until 1994," she said.

"This was not uncommon as Rotary originally started as a Club of like-minded business men.

"Brian Barrow is the only surviving charter member."

Tess said there has been many changes over the past 105 years since Rotary began and will continue to evolve as necessary.

"This year we have distributed in excess of $30,000 to our local community and a further $5000 to international projects," she said.

"Rotary throughout the world has played

a major part in the eradication of Polio, providing shelter to the many countries who have suffered and lost all their possessions in the floods, tsunamis and disaster worldwide.

"Currently we are involved in a global grant to supply water filters for 12000 school children in Thailand.

"Our Rotary Club has provided many services to our local community, including; Camp Quality, Salvation Army, Noosa Coast Guard, motorised wheel chairs to enable the recipients to become more involved in the community and to engage with their families in a more meaningful way."

After joining Rotary in 2011, Tess was invited to take up the role of President in 2014 and served in that position for two years, until being asked to be President again in 2017-18 and 2018-2019.

"Current President Jim Harpley has set about making a few changes to the way we conduct our meetings," Tess said.

"We have decided to do a three-month trial where we will meet on the first and third Monday of the month and other Mondays will be for the board to meet and social events. Rotary is not just about fundraising, it encourages social activities so we can engage with the wider community."

MANGROVE MADNESS OVERTAKES THE KIDS For many, spending a day in the mangroves may not sound exciting but for students from Sunshine Beach State School, it proved to be an invaluable experience when they recently went to Maroochy Wetlands.

The Year 6/5 class spent a day observing different root structures of mangroves.

This was then extended when they were asked to construct and test a mangrove tree prototype that would stay upright in the

tidal and windy conditions of the wetlands.

After a quick lesson how to accurately use the scientific equipment, students practised how to measure the soil pH, light levels, temperature, salinity, soil colour and soil moisture. Then a wander along the boardwalk became a discovery type as they observed the different types of mangroves and exploring how the growth and survival of living things is affected by physical

conditions of their environment.

A short pause to hand-feed the salty mangrove leaves to the crabs was a highlight for the students. Then it was back to work putting to use their newly acquired skills to investigate the mangroves inhabitants, niches and conditions.

The visit, provided by Sunshine Coast Environmental Education Centre Staff, was a great opportunity for students. â—?

LETTERS PLAYGROUND FOISTED ON US Dom Massoni is absolutely correct when he suggests that ratepayers of Noosa Shire, had they been consulted, would have “different priorities” for the upwards of $5 million that will be spent on a children’s playground in Cooroy (NT 20/6). What is most disquieting is that the playground is to be foisted upon us without so much as a by your leave. It’s hard to believe that public consultation was simply overlooked by council, as the playground has been planned for over a year. Councillors can rectify the oversight (if that’s what it was) by facilitating public consultation sessions and listening and responding to locals’ concerns.

MORE THAN THE WEALTHY APPRECIATE NOOSA Noosa Alive volunteers were snapped at the Noosa farmers markets on Sunday as they handed out programs to the upcoming festival. Have you got a program? Grab one and book your tickets before they all go. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au On Thursday morning, I woke to a flurry of calls about Noosa Council trying to stop tourism and “putting out the full sign”. I quickly discovered that the Courier-Mail had cherry-picked a few quotes from my interview and run it as a front page story along with an hysterical headline. In fact, if you read the article, my quotes do not support the absurd claim in the headline.

The result has been a lot of media as other outlets have picked up on the brazen headline and run with it as fact. On Friday morning I did a live interview on Channel 7’s Sunrise during which I could at least get across the message that the story is a media beat-up.

But other outlets have edited my statements and their stories to suit their own ends.

The short article in Friday’s Noosa News is again not a product of a media release or statement on my part, but rather taken from their News Corp stablemate, the CourierMail.

In the end, I can’t control the media, and particularly attention-grabbing headlines that are disconnected from the story. This will quickly become yesterday’s fish-andchip wrapper. And it has drawn attention to Noosa as a successful destination, which may be the upside of down.

Nevertheless, I apologise for any angst or heartburn that the media frenzy may have caused.

Tony Wellington, Mayor Noosa Council

OUR IMPACT ON THE WORLD We are all 100 per cent disposable.

Most of us are 100 per cent replaceable in our workplace.

We are all 99 per cent biodegradable (depending on how many micro plastics are present in the digestive tract, whether there are any titanium parts and how many dental fillings have been done).

Most of us will be forgotten within the century of our quietus, if not before.

We are all morally degradable or upgradable at varying degrees, often depending upon the circles we mix in, whether we read a lot (and widely), the extent we observe the world, and whether we realise that our impacts on this planet and its people are very real.

Brigid Muir, Cooroy

SCIENCE IS NOT POLITICAL Surely Mr Leal one must be concerned with the amount, above and beyond any natural cycle, of this nourishing gas that is put into the atmosphere? Any amount, that is not part of any natural cycle, may have deleterious effects on atmospheric stability?

If the amount is 0.04 percent as you alluded to, it seems like a very small percentage.

So maybe adding billions of tonnes of this nourishing gas to this percentage every year for decades, might that be at least of interest,

12416070-FA16-19

Six years ago, the then Noosa mayor Noel Playford declared shamelessly that elderly rich residents were welcome here, unlike young people who don’t have money or jobs! ... six years on, his successor the new mayor Tony Wellington announced on local television that Noosa is at risk of overtourism and I quote, “It is mostly about choosing the sort of people who come here and have the biggest spend, and appreciate what Noosa is offering!" It was also reported in the local paper that the town didn’t want a drive-in market that choked the streets with traffic creating parking problems; instead seeking the high value domestic and international visitors who overnighted there.

So I think you realise now why Noosa has such a snobby and elitist reputation in Queensland, with our last two mayors coming out with such outrageous and embarrassing statements. No doubt, a lot of day trippers around Queensland would be downright disgusted and offended by those latest insulting comments as it’s not only wealthy tourists that appreciate what Noosa has to offer!

It is time to stop blaming everybody else for Noosa’s problems, and be pro-active about it. As you will know, your main problem is parking and it is easy to fix ... listen to your Noosa residents who where consulted a few months ago and did come up with hundreds of great ideas, but all were ignored.

For example council could build strategically positioned and camouflaged two or three storey parking stations at both ends of Hastings, Lions Park, and the junction, and then you will realise that the choking congestion was only due to people driving around aimlessly for hours looking for that elusive parking spot.

Time to be pro-active Mr Wellington, get on with it.

WHY THE ANTI-NOOSA COUNCIL OBSESSION? Four letters in your 20 June issue (I cannot include Margaret Wilkie as she writes notes, not letters) of which two are anti-Noosa Council. Surprise, surprise. Both are by antiNoosa repeat serial offenders and both happen to live outside the Noosa area.

Can they explain why they have this antiNoosa obsession and continue to bore those who live in Noosa with their rants against our council. I would think they would have their hands full bemoaning the shortcomings of the council for the area they reside in instead of worrying about an area they have no say in.

MEDIA REPORTS A BEAT UP (posted on Tourism Noosa) I am sure you are all aware of the recent media frenzy following on from a front page article in the Courier-Mail. Some people have assumed that I sought out this media attention or somehow set the agenda of the content. That is not how it eventuated.

Allow me to explain. On 5 June, I was asked to ring a Courier-Mail journalist who, I was told, wanted to discuss the Airbnb issue as it related to tourism. This was supposedly for a feature article on the future of tourism in Qld. I did the phone interview, which ended up being quite wide-ranging, including talk about our Sustainable Tourism Stakeholder Reference Group and its mission.

in its possible effects, to you?

Your attack on the scientific method, used in our schools ... the bedrock of every technological advance made by any civilization, is nothing short of a disgrace to the Australian way. Science is not political sir. Unless your iphone was made as a result of the knowledge of politicians?

Thankfully it is exactly your type of human that is driving young people to recognise unthinking, shallow, thoughtful unreasoning political dogma, as exactly what it is.

An irrelevance (though dangerous).

TAX TIME

SHRINKING INTEREST RATES HELP OUT The Reserve Bank (RBA) announced on 4 June that it was lowering the cash rate and it now stands at 1.25%. This is lower than the current rate of inflation which is 1.3%.

Unfortunately, RBA has forecast further easing in monetary policy in the short to medium term.

There is a flow on effect that impacts both borrowers and investors and depending on where you are in the financial life cycle, this can mean good news or bad news.

For those paying a mortgage, news of lower interest rates is positive. A low interest rate environment is a great time to capitalise on reducing your loan faster as a higher portion of your repayments will be allocated to paying down capital as opposed to paying interest to the bank. Overall, this will also decrease the amount of interest paid over the life of your loan by simply continuing with your current repayments.

For investors, news of lower interest rates is negative. Returns on 'at call' cash savings are negligible with some mainstream bank accounts providing returns of around 0.5%. Investors can shop around for higher rates, however these rates are typically short term resulting in funds being frequently transferred to different institutions chasing an extra 1 or 2 percent.

Another consequence is that investors may start seeking better returns by investing in higher risk investments. This can result in exposure to adverse economic conditions

and volatility in investment markets.

It is a good idea to seek advice from a professional as investing is definitely not

'one size fits all'. An adviser can help find the most appropriate investment options for you.

If you would like to discuss your options, please phone Morgans Noosa on (07) 5449 9511. â—?

The eight breweries (and a few local coffee roasters) have been busy in the lead-up to the Beer Fest creating a special Hinterland Craft Beer Festival Collab Brew. They are keeping details of the style under wraps and will launch it on the day, with 100% of the proceeds going to local charity Smart Pups. The special brew will of course be available at the event, and also at participating breweries and select venues following the festival - while stocks last.

Eumundi Brewery Head Brewer Chris Sheehan is proud of the camaraderie of the collaborative brewing team.

"As a local festival, featuring only local beer, it is great that as a band of brewers we

Great roll-up to the inaugural Hinterland Craft Beer Festival. can give back to the community," Chris said.

Festival-goers will also have a chance to learn more about the science and craft of beer making, with the respective breweries and the Sunshine Coast Homebrewers sharing insights into how particular brews are fine-tuned. A Brewers Q & A session is scheduled for 3pm on the day.

The line-up includes guitar duo Cadence, Benny O, troubadour Danny Widdicombe, The Honey Sliders, PALOMINO III, The Brown Trouts and Shannon Sol Carroll. ●

FREE MUSIC IN THE PARK Bring your picnic rug on Sunday 7 July from 1 - 4pm for PARK SOUNDS - a fabulous afternoon of FREE live music in Dick Caplick Park, right in the centre of town Eumundi. The line-up will see ALISHA TODD, MAJELEN and SMOKE & RAIN take to the stage!

From her humble beginnings being raised on country and 90's pop in Gympie, to opening the lid of Pandora's box of worldly delights, Alisha Todd has sung her way through it all with a fiery passion that only grows with time.

2013 brought the release of her debut EP 'Of All Time', a 5-track collection of country-pop inspired songs that was warmly received. Without Us earned Alisha three Dolphin Awards finalist nominations and Charlie was finalist in Pop Song Of The Year for both Dolphin Awards and The Music Oz awards.

Her latest EP 'Live At Sonic Vista Studios' is a collection of live solo acoustic performances recorded at Sonic Vista Studios in Ibiza, inside a 400 year old finca.

Brisbane-based guitarist and singer MAJELEN is one to watch in the indie/ folk music scene.Since completing her studies in Jazz Guitar, she's spent the last few years travelling the world, performing, and writing the framework for her debut recordings. Majelen has had the opportunity to perform alongside some of Australia's most accomplished musicians including James Morrison, Kristin Berardi, Gus Cereijo, Elly Hoyt, Katie Noonan and Emma Dean; and was selected to perform as the

Alisha Todd. guitarist in the 2018 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony.

Joining us from Newcastle, NSW, SMOKE & RAIN play music for the body and the soul - grooves to get you moving and melodies full of emotion. With a singular goal (auditory pleasure), they'll take you on a journey through the rhythmic drive of funk and the sensual introspection of R&B. ●

WHAT’S ON Aladdin Jr presented by Sunshine Coast Youth Theatre.

SUNSHINE COAST YOUTH THEATRE PRESENTS ALADDIN JR Sunshine Coast Youth Theatre brings the smash hit Disney movie musical "Aladdin Jr" to life on stage at The J Noosa these holidays.

The cast of 48 young performers, all aged between 7-18 years, will present this family favourite with a youthful, vibrant energy.

'Aladdin' was first released as a Disney animated feature in 1992, and became a memorable smash hit with a magical score by Alan Menken and an iconic vocal performance by the late Robin

Williams.

It was then adapted to the stage, opening on Broadway in 2014, before being re-imagined in a live action feature opening last month. Now it's Sunshine Coast Youth Theatre's turn to bring the magic to life.

"I grew up watching the original Disney cartoon," Director Madison Thew-Keyworth said.

"I used to sing Friend Like Me at the top of my lungs and then pretend I was flying around the lounge room on a magic

carpet. To get to work on this show now is a wish come true."

Sunshine Coast Youth Theatre is the longest running theatre school in Noosa, running weekly classes as well as summer and winter camps each year.

"Aladdin Jr" will be their 18th Camp having previously staged shows such as "Singin' in the Rain Jr", "Shrek Jr" and "High School Musical Jr" to name a few.

Like all Disney shows, Aladdin Jr is incredibly family friendly and makes for the perfect school holiday activity.

This 90 minute version is just the right length for kids, and the show's infectious, danceable songs are sure to engage the young and old alike.

"Aladdin Jr" will have two performances (2pm and 7pm) on Saturday 6 July at The J Noosa. Tickets are on sale through The J's website - www.thej.com. au, over the phone on (07) 5329 6560 or in person at the Box Office.

So grab your magic carpet, make a wish, and experience a whole new world with SCYT these holidays. â—?

FROM THE PAGE TO THE STAGE As with art and all creative endeavours, beauty can be in the eye of the beholder, but audiences seeing this year's Noosa Arts Theatre's One Act Play Festival will be a part of deciding what they think is the 'best' play as part of the Nancy Cato Audience Choice award.

Every year, playwrights submit their plays to a panel of readers who decide on the top ten plays.

There are a number of criteria that the writers must follow; time limits and the ability for their play to be performed on the Noosa Arts Stage by local performers so sadly, no Aida elephants or casts of thousands but a clever story, well told, that will entertain the audience is a sure fire winner.

Words on a page can be be beautifully written but sometimes, that emotion does not translate to the stage, con-

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

versely, a script that seems dry and lifeless upon reading, in the hands of an experienced and insightful director, can blossom in a way that the writer had never imagined.The beauty of the One Act Play Festival is that there is something for everyone in the audience, regardless of their likes and dislikes, their social filters and the style of the play.

This years finalists include; Black Matter by Bruce Olive (QLD), directed by John McMahon and stars Glen Miller, Frank Wilkie, Claire Fermo and Kerrin Walder. Little Angels by Yvette Wall (WA), directed by Jacqui Mata Luque and stars Tracey Simpson, Heider Tucker, Tara Long and Mel Farrell. A Messy Engagement by Rod Selzer (VIC), directed by Jane Rivers and stars Phillip Blakeney, Louise Turton, Jenni McCaul, Joe Juresivic, Alex Cox and Cordel Belette.

The Festival is in its 42nd year and is always a great night of entertainment but as an audience member, be prepared to be an active participant; your decision could launch the career of the winner. The season opens on 11 July and tickets are available now at www. noosaartstheatre.org.au. â—?

EUMUNDI CHRISTMAS IN JULY SUPPORTS OUR FARMERS The Eumundi & District Historical Association together with the Original Eumundi Markets are hosting Christmas in July on Friday 26 July at the newly refurbished School of Arts in Eumundi as a fundraiser to support farmers through Rural Aid. "It is great to be able to celebrate Christmas twice a year and at the same time help support a worthy cause. We have a lot to celebrate this year with the completion of the three-year long refurbishment of the School of Arts.

The building inside and out looks amazing and recently won two Sunshine Coast Design Awards for the renovated bathrooms," said president Donata Page.

"The Christmas in July activity will also support our farmers with EHA and OEM joining forces to help support Rural Aid's Buy a Cow project," Chairman of the Original Eumundi Markets Board, Barrie Adams said.

"The Buy a Cow project is an initiative

of Rural Aid. The loss of over 500,000 head of cattle is a massive hit to the industry. Many of these family farming operations have lost their core breeders which will take them years to replace."

"After being in drought and feeding these animals for 7 years, these farmers need all the help they can get. Many farmers will have no income for at least 12 or 18 months, maybe longer. This campaign is offering them practical support."

The Christmas in July event will include entertainment by the Boston Belles, three courses of Christmas fare by local chef Peter Wolfe and a cash bar. Early bird prices up to 30 June are only $60 per person and tables of 8 are available for groups. Tickets after 30 June will be $70 per person.

At the Australian Local Government Association conference in Canberra last week, Mayor Tony Wellington delivered an address covering one of his favourite themes of late - taming tourism. While I sympathise somewhat with the long-term view that Noosa is in danger of being loved to death, Tony may have to deal with the immediately more pressing issue of taming increasingly angry tourism operators.

Not happy, Jan. And you can't really blame them. We keep hearing that tourism is no longer seasonal, and yet our investment rental still goes up and down, and you could swing a cat quite safely in Hastings Street during last week's beautiful, clear and crisp winter days. The end may be nigh, but it is not quite here yet.

Of course, the mayor and other thinkers and visionaries who share the doomsday view are projecting a picture of what Noosa will be like in decades long after most of us have shuffled off this mortal coil in search of heavenly point breaks, but it's worth remembering that no one had pictured what tourism would become back in the early 1960s when Arthur Harrold and friends went to war to stop a road around our headland that would have made Noosa like every other beach in Australia. And if it had gone ahead, we wouldn't have so many tourists, but many of us wouldn't be here either. So it pays to heed the warnings of visionaries sometimes.

But you can't go out and say, sorry folks, go away - Noosa is full! And I don't believe that Mayor Wellington said that in so many words, or believes that, but the elitist overtones of that and other statements like it are perfect tabloid fodder and on-line click bait. Media all over the country have dumbed down a debate we have to have to the superior tone and irrational substance of your average Donald Trump Tweet, and as Marshall McLuhan noted at about the same time old Arthur was stopping the headland road, the medium is the message.

While the tourism operators are up in arms about Noosa being full, most of them were quite supportive of the mayor's parallel push for new limitations on short stay accommodation providers, such as Airbnb hosts. (Disclosure: of which I am one.)

But that's just the other side of the same argument - that too many tourists make Noosa unlivable for its permanent residents, largely because day trippers and homestay guests extend the planned carrying capacity beyond functionality. Our roads are clogged and we can't get a parking spot.

No one wants that, but we all want a healthy economy. And it's worth remembering that the vast majority of us - Mayor Wellington and myself included - came to live in this beautiful part of the world when it was already a tourist magnet.

In fact many of the residents with the loudest voices are tourists who stayed on.

And why wouldn't you?

So when the hysteria dies down and social media goes back to discussing potholes and garage sales, let's hope we can have some sensible community discussion of this important issue.

Brazil was kind to Sunny Coasters Keely Andrew and Julian Wilson last weekend, with both of them reaching the pointy end of the Oi Rio Pro. Surfing as an injury replacement, Keely surfed impressively through some tough rounds before bowing out in the semi-finals

OJ Newcomb (wearing the fedora) takes a bow in Paris.

Photo OJ’s FB

Filipe Toledo in full flight to win the Oi Rio Pro. Photo WSL

Keely Andrew power gouge at the Oi Rio Pro. Photo WSL to Australia's Sally Fitzgibbons who went on to win the event. In the men's, Julian Wilson's fifth place finish, after falling unexpectedly to Portugal's smooth-as-silk Frederico Morais, was enough to rocket last year's number two back into the top 10 for the first time this season. Julian is still very long odds for a title run this year, but in Brazil he surfed with style, flair and confidence. He looked like a winner again.

In front of a huge and excitable crowd, the Brazil Storm began to fizzle out on finals day, and it looked like one more elimination and things could get ugly. But Fil Toledo saved the day, as we knew he would.

Desperate for some sleep on Sunday night, I hung in there to watch Toledo get better and better as the surf got worse and worse.

The guy is so good he doesn't really need the wave to cooperate. Filipe is sitting at number three and heading north. Look out, world title!

OJ DOES PARIS I was pretty impressed by the massive crowds at the Rio Pro, but then I saw a post from old mate OJ Newcomb, currently touring Europe as part of the John Butler Trio. Now that's a really serious crowd!

Band of Frequencies bass player OJ is one of the nicest blokes in the music biz, so I'm absolutely stoked for him. And this is just the start of a month-long tour. Laissez les bon temps rouler, mon pote! ● noosatoday.com.au

night for Noosa gathering heaps of the footy and applying constant pressure.

12421527-FA27-19

The Rococo's Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers have come away from the University of Queensland with a 50 point win in what could only be described as mainly a struggle. The first half certainly was a game played in between the arcs creating a 'running rugby maul' type of game with the ladder leaders unable to dominate the contest. The students had definitely done their homework on the Tigers with heavy tags placed on Jai Fitzpatrick and Tyler Stack and their physical pressure all over the ground making it difficult to score and open up play.

After the main break the fitter and more skilful Tigers began to assert their authority as returning power forward Liam Kenny booted 4 third quarter goals and finished the day with 6 to put the students away.

Footy manager Mitch Woods was again one of the Tigers best gathering 29 touches at 91 percent efficiency in the middle and across half back. Key defenders Ryley Buntain and Aaron Laskey were superb once again the entire day with 50 gamer Harry Maher also as steady as ever across half back. Well done on achieving the milestone Harry and I'm sure there's heaps more to come. Connor McDonald and Maverick Pettigrove were also noticeable performers for the victors.

Senior coach Adam Bovalino saying 'it was hard down there and we certainly didn't get it all our own way. University of Queensland had several players we hadn't seen before and they heavily tagged a couple of our playmakers. We threw a few things around today just to test players in other parts of the ground and it's really pleasing the way we continue to finish games off.'

Big Ryan Jeffery's impression after a long layoff was key along with utility Nathan McKendrick will only be better for the run.

A massive day awaits this Saturday at the Noosa Village Autos oval as we host Sunshine Coast rivals Caloundra in our annual night fixture.University of Queensland AFC 1.4-10, 3.7-25, 4.7-31, 6.743 vs Noosa AFC 3.1-19, 6.2-38, 10.5-65, 14.9-93 RESERVES MATCH REPORT University of Queensland: 1.6 - 12 Noosa AFC: 19.6 - 120 The Reserves boys had another strong victory over University of Queensland in Brisbane in what was a scrappy affair on the small university ground.

TALKING SPORT

RON LANE

BUSY TIMES FOR LIONS ON THE FIELD Saturday for Noosa Lions Football Club was indeed a double occasion. In the first instant they played host to the Woombye Club a club which is rich in history ( being in 1958 a foundation club on the Sunshine Coast )and then most important for the club, conducted an Old Pride Celebration acknowledging the contribution of Life Members and players from 1973 till now.

During the half time break in the senior game they presented key rings to players from junior to senior ranks who have given ten years of loyal service to the club. "We are very proud of their service to Lions," said club President Alinda Bryant.

"At present we are running very strong with some 725 playing members registered.

This is the largest number on the coast and our players go from 4yr old to senior rank. Amongst that number we also have two female competition teams as well as the largest number of females in the junior ranks on the Coast."

For the Lions club it is not only in the playing ranks that the females are creating club history, for with Alinda holding the office of President ( which she has held since 2015) she has become the first lady to do so. "But it does not stop there," she added with a laugh, "my secretary and treasurer are also females; and at present we are going from strength to strength. I suppose you could say that at present, right across the board we are succeeding because we have the right people in the right places."

Out on the playing field to cap off a good night, both Lions Premier and Reserve Premier were victorious with the Premiers winning 2-0 and the Reserves 1-0; these results now have Lions at the top of the competition ladder. We wish them well for the season ahead.

Over at the Dolphins Rugby Union Club they are also on a very positive agenda.

President of the Junior Division Rob Frey said, "At present things are looking very good for the future with games against St Joseph's Nudgee College in Brisbane and our visit by the u/15s to New Zealand, departing next week. Over the last twelve months all team members have been

Dolphins U13 team are heading to Nudgee. working very hard raising funds for the trip and also our u/14 have started fundraising for their trip which will take place next year.

During this tour which goes for ten days they will play three games in very cold conditions: not only this but they will also have to face up to their opponents performing the traditional Maori Haka.

Definitely a trip of a lifetime one that our young Dolphins will not forget" During school holidays their u/12s, u/13s and u/15 will visit Nudgee where they will be conducted on a tour of the college and the famous college rugby museum; and this will be followed by three games to be played in the true spirit of rugby. Then on June 6 Nudgee Junior Colts will visit Dolphins where they will play their juniors

The Lions

Alinda Bryant

in the Halley Appleby Noosa -Nudgee Memorial game; a game in honor of a young Dolphin who left us too soon. The Sunshine Coast rep teams the Stingrays have been chosen and proud to announce that several

Dolphins have been named in the various age teams. These representative teams will visit Toowoomba during the second week of the school holidays, where they will take part in a tournament. Good luck to all. â—?

SIGNS TAILOR ARE ON THE WAY - LIGHT WINDS, LOW SWELLS With a great run of light winds and low swells early in the week the offshore crew went out and enjoyed all that the local reefs had to offer. Double Island has some quality pelagics hanging around as well as been some big reds, scarlet sea perch, medium sized snapper, amber jack and even a wahoo! North reef has solid pearl perch, cobia, small snapper, longtail tuna, sweetlip, tuskies and school mackerel. Even though the waters are cooler ensure you have a pilchard floater or live bait swimming around out the back as big pelagics will crunch these! In closer Sunshine Reef has quality coral trout along with big sweetlip and pearl perch. There are smaller snapper cruising around and if on the drift be sure to try a few slow jigs or soft plastics as these work very well in the first 5-8 meters off the bottom. In closer around Halls Reef and Jew noosatoday.com.au

Shoal the big Spanish and longtail are still hanging around but will be headed north soon. These fish are still taking slow trolled dead and live baits and smaller diving lures.

Surf fishing is starting to improve with early signs of tailor, big bream, whiting and flatties coming from the gutters and headlands all along the coastline. Having a slug ready to fire at any bird action is a must so keep your eyes peeled and be ready to act fast.

The estuaries are fishing well with bigger flatties, various trevally species, tailor and bream making their presence known around the rock walls and deep drop offs of the river mouth and dog beach. If after whiting be sure to try the frying pan or the flats of the sand bags if land based. Small grub plastics and micro jigs hopped along the bottom can work well if these fish are

not hitting surface lures. An added bonus is flathead will respond to these lures so why not give it a try? If looking for trevally then check out the current line and entrance to the first woods bay. Further upstream bigger flatties have been caught on live herring and whitebait as well as various soft vibes.

Queenfish and trevally will take a liking to these lures too which are also very easy to fish, especially those new to using lures.

Freshwater has fired up with a great run of bass coming from both Lake MacDonald and Borumba with big fish coming from the weedy edges. Suspending lures and slow sinking jerk baits are a must as are slow rolled soft plastics on 3/8 jigheads. The afternoon bite appears to be better so enjoy a sleep in and enjoy your weekend!

So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! â—?
