Jazz Party beats the Covid-19 blues If you were here for the first Noosa Jazz Parties back in the early ‘90s, you’re almost a local!

And that means if you love jazz, now is the time to support this classic event.

The three-day festival will run Thursday to Sunday during the first week of September.

Our call to action Spring has sprung! Well, almost. Certainly, the weather seems to think it’s here, so the calendar can’t be far behind. And with warm and sunny days lined up forever, what better time to play tourist at home. And what a perfect time to loosen the purse strings and pull out the plastic to help out all those doing it tough in the tourism and hospitality industries.

Sure, Ekka long weekend provided a very welcome boost to morale as well as to the bank balance, but it’s been a rough winter for most, school holidays are still a few weeks away and the border is still closed. To paraphrase an

old call to action, now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of the community, and party!

While credit must be given to Councillor Amelia Lorentson for first putting forward the idea that the September 11 Noosa Show Day long weekend would be an appropriate time

for we locals to dig deep and enjoy the side of Noosa that tourists love, Noosa Today and Tourism Noosa have joined forces to extend the concept of having a “Holiday At Home” to any time this spring, but with particular emphasis on the next couple of weeks leading into Show Day holiday.

Here at Noosa Today, the party has already started, with this writer taking advantage of a great locals deal from Ecotekk Noosa Electric Bikes to fang around town for a day on a cool e-bike (see page 4). In the coming weeks our energetic reporters will be introducing you to a long list of affordable day trips you’ve always talked about taking, plus activities you

can enjoy around our parks, trails, roads and waterways, suitable for the young, the young at heart and even the refuse-to-quit wrinklies like the writer.

We’ll also be acquainting you with all the best deals for an apres-surf brunch, a leisurely lunch with river or ocean views, a sunset champagne cruise or a romantic dinner. As well as bringing you the latest offerings from many of your old favourites, we hope to introduce newer locals to a range of places and experiences you haven’t tried yet.

So watch this space over the next few weeks for some entertaining reading and plenty of tips on how to enjoy your Holiday At Home!

Every Sunday 6am to Midday It’s a way of life.

A family is mourning the loss of their beloved pet Jack Russell dog named Molly after a traumatic attack by two other dogs in Tewantin last Sunday.

Pet owner Roy Graham-Measor said the attack occurred whilst his wife was walking Molly in St Andrews Drive in Tewantin.

“Two dogs attacked Molly and despite the actions of my wife, home owners adjacent and across the road, she was attacked so severely that she died at the location of the attack,“ he said.

“The question has to be asked why people

keep such large and obviously savage dogs which are likely not only to attack other dogs, but could also attack young children.

“The owner of these dogs has no idea what trauma this has caused my wife, but also the trauma which effected those who unselfishly went to my wife’s aid.

“One of those who went to my wife’s aid sustained a laceration to the finger which required stitches as the result of one of the dogs bite.

“Our sincere thanks go to all those who tried to do what they could to stop this brutal attack.”

Council’s Local Laws Manager, Phil Amson

The editor’s desk It’s hard to imagine how different Noosa would have been had developer TM Burke been allowed 30 years ago to proceed with his plans to build a spacethemed park at Peregian Beach and housing across the Marcus high dunes in addition to other plans to construct a highway around Noosa headland.

Former Noosa councillor Heather Melrose, who recently passed away was instrumental in stopping these developments through the initiation of Council’s Development Control Plan and the High Noon at the High Dune rally which drew an estimated 2000 protestors to protect the land.

We owe our lifestyles and national parks to her courage and hard work.

And at the other end of the scale while we love Noosa’s natural habitat how many have been ogling the $40 million super yacht Mischief owned by Ian Malouf that has been anchored in Laguna Bay? After selling his Dial-a-Dump waste business for more than $550 million Malouf is now occupying his time with his Ahoy Club luxury boat charter platform. Something like AirBnB Ahoy Club is a digital platform that allows users to search for and choose more than 3000 luxury yachts around the world.

Mischief which can be rented for almost $500,000 a week usually spends much of the year in the Mediterranean but because of Covid it is slumming it here before moving south to Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sydney and on to the America’s Cup.

“It’s understood two dogs - a Blue American Staffordshire Terrier and a chocolate-coloured Labrador Cross - attacked and killed a small Jack Russell Terrier,” he said.

“Both dogs are currently in the pound and their owners are assisting Council officers with their inquiries.”

30 years of Jazz Party

By Phil Jarratt In the year they celebrate their 30th anniversary, the Noosa Jazz Party is doing it tough.

If you were here for the first Noosa Jazz Parties back in the early ‘90s, you’re almost a local!

And that means if you love jazz, now is the time to support this classic event.

There aren’t many events, music or otherwise, that endure for 30 years and more, but our town has three of them - Triathlon, Surf Festival and Jazz Party. The main reason for their success has been the fact that they have drawn participants and audiences from around the world, but this year, with borders still closed and every other event in town cancelled, the Noosa Jazz Party and its organising entity the Noosa Heads Jazz Club are relying on the support of locals for an excellent fourday program of home-grown jazz, featuring the very best of Queensland’s jazz musicians.

“It’s a bit like the very first Jazz Party,” says co-founder Richard Stevens, “when we had a dozen local musos and marched down Hastings Street playing music without a permit like we were in New Orleans. Everybody loved the fun, the relaxed atmosphere and the great music, and it just grew from there.”

It certainly did. By the mid-‘90s, Richard and co-founder the late and esteemed Melbourne and Noosa jazz legend Frank Johnson

were signing world class players like Australians Graeme Bell, Bob Barnard and John Sangster and internationals like New York trumpet wiz Jon-Erik Kellso, while leading Australian artist Robert Dickerson was creating charcoal art for the program cover.

Like most events, the Jazz Party had its ups and downs, name changes and shifts away from

its trad roots, but one thing that never faltered was the hard work and commitment of Frank Johnson (until he passed away) and mainstays Richard Stevens and wife Patsy. Now 76, the sousaphone-playing retiree and wife Betsy (who got him into jazz in the first place) are still running the show with the same energy and enthusiasm they had at the beginning.

And until the pandemic hit, Jazz Party 2020 was set to be the biggest in years, with Jon-Erik Kellso making a welcome return from New York as headliner, and a huge cast of musos from all over Australia and New Zealand in support. Airline tickets had been booked and paid for when Richard and Patsy got the news that events were off and financial support no longer forthcoming.

Says Richard: “We accepted that and cancelled, hoping we could get airline credits to bring musicians for next year, but then a couple of months down the track we started doing gigs at the Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club, and they’ve been so successful that people were begging us to put a one-venue Jazz Party on, like it was the very first year. The Jazz Club saw it as a way to claw back some of the losses on travel costs, so now we’ve got a great program at the Bowlo, plus a Fathers’ Day lunch at Pier 11. Sadly restrictions mean no free concert in the park, but plenty of great music at good prices. All we need is for locals to come out and support us.”

The Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club will host four-hour programs afternoons and evenings from Thursday, September 3 to Sunday, September 6, for just $25 a head, with food and drink at club prices. Covid restrictions mean that ticket sales are limited, so phone Patsy now to ensure your tickets - 07 5447 2229.

“That target was reached just after 12.30pm so we went into a Bonus Round to $230,000.”

Ms Rowe said she was thrilled and overwhelmed by the generosity of the local community, all the volunteers ‘hitting the phones’, and the number of health staff who fundraised through dressing up, raffles and even a late-night run around the hospital.

“The success of Wishlist Giving Day means we can continue our commitments including funding the local Clown Doctors service, yoga and music therapy, plus fund exciting new projects like the Family Room in the Paediatric Critical Care Unit to keep

Ms Rowe said the children missed the Clown Doctors service incredibly due to Covid-19.

“It is a priceless service and they’re back now so it’s great,” she said.

Ms Rowe said the pandemic had been tough on charities and businesses across the board.

“The challenge for us is we haven’t been able to run any of our fundraising events,” she said.

“We have ongoing commitments that we make each and every year and they’re not cheap. So we have to find a way to bring in

that income we lost.

“Thankfully, our Wishlist Giving Day was our answer to that. It was about harnessing the goodwill and generosity of the Sunshine Coast community to donate online and to use the digital platform.”

Ms Rowe said she was delighted by the outcome.

“We’re just blown away. I’ve been doing this job now for 20 years and I continue to be amazing by how supportive this coast community is,” she said.

“On behalf of the staff, patients and our team, we appreciate your support.”

The Sunshine Coast community has rallied around their local hospital foundation Wishlist, helping the not-for-profit charity raise in excess of $240,674 last week.

Wishlist launched their first ever Wishlist Giving Day, a 12-hour virtual fundraising appeal to raise funds for Sunshine Coast and Gympie public hospitals.

Each year the Sunshine Coast Health Foundation directs more than $1 million to priority needs of the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service including vital medical equipment, services to support patients, emergency accommodation, plus funding research and staff scholarships.

This year, due to COVID-19, Wishlist has been forced to cancel the majority of their fundraising events, resulting in a loss of around $750,000 in fundraising revenue, but the need for equipment and service support remains.

Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe said the digital fundraising appeal was unlike any Wishlist had run before.

“With most of our community events cancelled this year, our fundraising team have had to pivot to create this new and exciting fundraising appeal,” she said.

“We initially started with a target of $140,000 which was matched by our very generous corporate matchers including Sunshine Toyota, Exemplar Health, your lo-

Wildlife on show to locals

By Margaret Maccoll If you’re an animal lover watching whales and dolphins, riding camels or horses, fishing or visiting a zoo or aquarium are among the activities you could do in Noosa in the next few weeks while supporting local tour operators who are missing the southern tourists.

Tourist operators have been buoyed by the uptake of Queensland visitors taking the opportunity to visit the attractions this year while the borders are closed to southern visitors but there are still places left for locals.

Deep Sea Fishing Co Noosa owner Kirsten Ruster said they were surprised and pleased at how busy they had been recently. The third generation fishing charter operator Clint Ruster and his crew are experts in the Noosa fishing industry.

Kirsten said the business had dropped about 30 per cent since Covid-19 restrictions were introduced and they had to reduce passenger numbers by a couple to meet requirements but there were plenty of Brisbane and Gold Coast visitors taking their trips in place of their usual clientele of southerners at this time of year.

After Alma Park zoo closed in 2014 Julie

Meet new friends at Wildlife HQ

Seabrook and her team moved an entire zoo of 200 animals to the Big Pineapple at Woombye to create Wildlife HQ, a place where the animals and their keepers could maintain the bonds they had developed. Covid-19 shut them down for two months earlier this year but it’s just about business as usual since reopening and the crew has been amazed at the sup-

port from the community since they returned.

A spokeswoman said the zoo said they were able under restrictions to offer visitors close encounters with the animals and plenty of people were coming through the gate with only presentations unable to go ahead.

Getting out in nature on the back of a horse

in groups of two or four with a guide is the type of experience locals could enjoy at Equation Horse Riding Adventures. The business has been disappointed by cancellations from Victoria and NSW for the upcoming school holidays since border closures were announced.

Business owner Rebecca Watson said by its nature horse riding was inherently social distancing and they had received bookings from people wanting to spend time outside doing a Covid-safe activity.

“We’re getting lot of people wanting to be safe and outside and in nature,” she said.

Whalesong Cruises in Hervey Bay have been very busy this whale watching season with visitors coming mostly from the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Business owner Rebecca Greenshields said they’d put together an extensive Covid-safe plan and were fortunate to be in reasonable proximity to south east regional visitors and able to operate.

Hervey Bay was last year named the first whale heritage site in the world and with whale watching season running until late October there’s no better time to take a whale watching cruise.

An electrifying experience wihtout hesitation

By Phil Jarratt This is the time to throw hesitation to the winds and just do it!

I’d been deliberating about whether to buy one of these new-fangled e-bikes and just fess up to the fact that at my age I really do need help up hills. But, but ... so the other day on a recommendation I just call Ecotekk Electric Bikes in Noosa and 12 hours later obliging Darren Walters is dropping a gleaming black beauty at my residence and putting me through its very simple paces.

And then I’m off, cruising the riverside flats into town on a perfect morning, then eating up the hills of Little Cove to the Park, then up over Noosa Hill (a bit of a test for an e-bike newbie, trying to work out the gearing and power range), then down through the Junction and out to Lake Weyba Drive to join the Eenie Creek bike path to Noosa Civic.

Phew! Just in time to pick up the heart meds and prepare for the inbound journey via a lap of Noosa Waters and a home run back along Gympie Terrace, arriving home more than ready to plop into the cool, clear reviving waters of our wonderful river.

Okay, I’m sold. I want an e-bike and I want

it now, but if my wife won’t let me, I know I can call Darren any time. A confession: An avid cyclist in my youth - a Speedwell Special Sports hauling my surfboard trailer right through school - and having cycled across Britain on three gears in my 20s, I pretty much gave it away for a few decades until we moved to France and started doing summer evening hill climbs in the Pyrenees foothills with my banker buddy Philippe, and then some more adventurous three-day rides in the Spanish wine country. But returning to Noosa all I could manage was a cruiser pedal to the beach with my longboard in the rack, and then I couldn’t even manage that.

The e-bike has brought it all back. Okay, you need a bit of practice to get manual and motor in harmony, but the beauty of it is that control of effort is at your finger tips. No getting off and walking to the top of the hill, just set the power and flow and off you go.

If you ever enjoyed cycling and have let it go, this is your chance to rediscover it, and it’s so much fun. But, and it’s a big but, learn the basics before you hit the busier roads (and there are plenty of bike paths so you don’t need to), and please be careful.

Forum’s war on wrecks

By Margaret Maccoll Maritime Safety Queensland’s forum on Saturday was titled War on Wrecks but it focused less on the removal of derelict boats and more on the cause of their existence.

War on Wrecks chair Kim Richards told a full house of attendees research and feedback had told them the need for a better boat licensing process, more education, boat registration and boat hull identification was the key to identifying and removing wrecked boats and ensuring boat owners were being responsible.

MSQ’s four-year $20 million War on Wrecks campaign has so far removed more than 600 wrecks from Queensland waterways including four in Noosa.

There are about 23,000 registered boats in the Noosa - Sunshine Coast region and 264,000 in Queensland with more than a million people across the state holding a boat license.

Having reached the half-way mark the War on Wrecks taskforce is hosting a series of forums to investigate the reasons behind vessel abandonment.

The Noosa forum was attended by a broad range of boating interest groups including representatives from government, recreational and commercial boating, Coast Guard and Noosa Integrated Catchment Association.

Concerns were raised over the capabilities and knowledge of boat license holders who are able to get a license for a small craft, such as tinnie, and head out the next day in a much bigger craft. The current license enables holders to drive their boats in all locations and situations from rivers to offshore and once obtained a boat license is issued in perpetuity. Attendees raised the possibility of similar rules applying to drivers of boats and cars and the introduction of refresher courses. However the forum heard there had been strong opposition to the proposal boat users gain different licenses to drive bigger craft and to the intro-

much time by police and Coast Guard was spent trying to locate the owners of a vessel found adrift and searching for potential missing occupants.

The lack of registration and hull identifica-

tion also made finding owners difficult for authorities when they became derelict.

It meant boat owners could tie up their boats and walk away with authorities unable to locate the owner, Ms Richards said. She said a lack of education was partly to blame.

“What we’re finding is people have no idea what to do with boats that become derelict.”

Forum attendees also raised issues of concern on waterways. Waterway congestion, the ability of boats to anchor anywhere in the river and waste disposal were major concerns.

One man who lived on the river told how his jetty had been crashed into on three occasions by boats that had drifted on their anchors.

Ms Richards said the taskforce would conduct two more forums, then prepare a report on findings.

The next stage of the program would be for Transport and Main Roads (TMR) department to conduct detailed consultations on options of future legislation.

“It could be early 2022. TMR’s approach is no surprises and consultation,” Ms Richards said.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton asked whether something could be done to address key issues before 2022.

The possibility of initiating a Noosa advisory group was raised as well as the introduction of online education to upgrade the knowledge of boat operators.

Ms Richards said the Maritime Enforcement Team (MET) that conducted an education and enforcement pilot program in Noosa at Easter would return to Noosa in the September school holidays.

Violent grab Police are appealing for help regarding the violent theft of a moped in Noosa.

Around 7.45pm, on Tuesday, August 18, two men aged 34 and 36 were riding along Noosa Parade when they were approached by a group of young males in the middle of the road.

One member of the group punched the rider in the head, who was wearing a helmet at the time and was then pushed off the scooter.

He and another from the group then fled with the motorised scooter.

Follow up inquiries suggest the pair were seen riding the white Sang Yang, model Jet 4R 50, around Gympie Terrace in the local area as well as in the Caloundra region.

Another person from the group was seen at the corner of Mary and Thomas streets in Noosaville.

The scooter has since been located in Aroona.

Signage change extended Noosa Council has extended its transition period to allow business with existing non-compliant signage more time to comply with the new signage Local Law, which was adopted in February this year.

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 scenario and its impact on many local businesses, the transition period has been extended until February 28, 2021.

This provides more time for businesses to ensure existing signage complies with the new requirements.

Director Environment and Sustainable Development Kim Rawlings said the local law requirements initially had a six month transition

period to give businesses a chance to work towards compliance.

With the start of the Noosa Plan 2020, the local law requirements now apply to temporary and permanent advertising signage.

Although the transition period has been extended for existing signage to comply, businesses that are proposing new signage will still need to make an application for any new signage that requires approval under the Local Law. Council staff will also continue to conduct compliance checks where signage may be causing a public safety risk, obstructing traffic or pedestrians and be inappropriately located.

Do you know this man?

Police are launching a fresh public appeal for information, releasing a new digital facial image created from DNA technology to help identify a man whose deceased body was discovered near Nambour 12 years ago.

The man, believed to be aged between 45 and 65, was located deceased near the eastern spillway of the Poona Dam near Nambour by a workman on 9 September, 2008. The death is not being treated as suspicious.

Police believe the man may have been at the location for a few days, however extensive enquiries have failed to identify him.

Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Missing Persons Unit within the Homicide Group have engaged external forensic specialists to identify the likely ancestry of the man and facial characteristics through a technique called DNA phenotyping with the hopes of uncovering new leads.

The results indicate the man may have New Zealand ancestry, along with facial feature variations from an earlier facial composite, notably that he likely had green/ hazel eyes.

The man is described as being of a solid build, approximately 185cm tall, balding with grey hair and having an appendix scar and four tattoos. The tattoos are of a shark and eagle on his left shoulder as well as on his right shoulder, a woman with an American Indian headdress and what appears to be a warrior or gnome figure.

Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Dario Goriup of the Missing Persons Unit said while the technology is helping investigators consider new lines of enquiry, information from the public is vital to solving this case.

“While we are keeping an open mind, current information indicates this man may have close family connections to the North Island of New Zealand, specifically

Digital image of the deceased man. the Tauranga, Bay of Plenty area,” Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Goriup said.

“We would ask members of the public who are missing a loved one or perhaps have not spoken to a family member or friend since September 2008 to consider this information, take a good look at this image and if there is a resemblance, please contact police.

“All it could take is one person who recognises the image or details to come forward and this could help us identify this man and find an answer to this 12-year mystery.”

The man was located wearing a red ‘Bauhaus’ baseball cap, long sleeved ‘Duchamp’ brand black shirt, ‘Aus sport’ grey tracksuit pants, white orange and grey ‘Fila’ ankle socks and a pair of ‘Cougar’ white, navy, silver and orange sandshoes. A brown leather ‘Fox’ satchel was discovered next to his body.

Nambour murder probe Sunshine Coast detectives investigating the alleged murder of 31-year-old Buddina woman Aysha Baty are appealing for public assistance as they try and trace her recent movements.

Police would like to speak with anyone who saw, had contact with, or knows about Aysha’s movements and or whereabouts over the week before her death.

Detectives are also keen to speak with anyone who has background information regarding Aysha’s relationship with friends and associates.

Police were called to Matthew Street, Nambour around 1.30am on Saturday, August 22 following reports a woman had been seriously assaulted.

Aysha was allegedly found with significant injuries and declared deceased at the scene.

A 34-year-old Burnside man was arrested Sunday and charged with murder. He was due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on August 24.

Police have appealed for anyone who was

in the vicinity of Nambour CBD, particularly Currie Street on the Bridge, near the Nambour RSL who observed any suspicious behaviour between 12.30am and 2am Saturday, August 22 to contact police. Anyone that has dashcam or CCTV of the same area and time are being asked to contact police as well.

A dedicated group of about 30 environment and glossy black cockatoo enthusiasts began a regeneration and replanting project at Burgess Creek, Sunrise Beach on Saturday led by local resident Ben Alexander.

The master plan for the project brought together UnityWater and state and local governments and after 18 months planning the first working bee brought together Noosa councillors, council officers and a group of volunteers including a parrot expert and environmental specialist to work at the Girraween Nature Reserve.

Ben said the region was of significance with the natural waterway considered one of Sunshine Coast’s major waterways alongside the Maroochy and Mooloolah rivers and Pumicestone Passage and it was a known habitat for the declining population of glossy black cockatoo.

“People come from all over the world to see the glossy black cockatoos,” he said.

On Saturday the volunteer group divided into three groups to work under the Burgess Creek bridge, in the forest area and around the waterhole where they removed weeds, particularly Singapore daisy and mile-a-minute vine, and planted a variety of native trees.

Aviculturist Mark Davies said he was working in collaboration with other bird experts to provide information to the project to ensure the Burgess Creek area continues to be an important habitat for the vulnerable species.

“They’re called the fussy glossy because they only feed on one specific tree,” he said.

The regeneration area lies adjacent to Rainbow Park which is a recognised feeding area for the parrots.

Ben said Mark had also been working with the Men’s Shed to offer advice to make glossy black cockatoo nest boxes to required specifications.

And Lend lease, which has been engaged

by Blue Care to undertake the development of their Sunrise Beach retirement living and aged care site on nearby glossy black cockatoo habitat would be providing the group with 1000 feed trees to be planted in Rainbow Park.

Environmental specialist Jady Smith takes a holistic view of habitat regeneration.

He said diversity was the key to the success of the project with a mix of plants including rainforest and fire retardant plants important for the space and longterm water availability an issue for consideration.

Glossy black cockatoo enthusiast Bob Carey said he had long been interested in the birds and had watched them in the area where they came to feed and drink from its natural spring.

He said other local bird enthusiasts had helped him understand the cockatoos and he hoped his passion for them was now being passed on to inspire passion in other people like Ben. Ben said he was fortunate to have so many knowledgeable and experienced people working on the project. Working bees will be held at Burgess Creek every fortnight.

Immunology top priority While nations around the world race to develop the first vaccine to combat Covid-19, a local graduate from Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Lachlan Deimel is busily making his mark in the world of science, more precisely immunology.

Lachlan, who graduated in 2016 as College Dux reflects on his senior years at Good Shepherd.

“It was in Senior Biology where I first acquired a curiosity towards the living world,“ he said.

“In particular, I recall an assignment that discussed emerging strategies to reduce malaria rates.

“This made me acutely aware of the implications of infectious disease on human health and society. Ultimately, I decided to pursue immunology at university.”

Having been awarded a prestigious Tuckwell Scholarship to attend the Australian National University in Canberra, Lachlan completed a Bachelor of Philosophy (Science) and quickly became involved in vaccine immunology where he learned to appreciate its uniquely profound impacts on public health.

Indeed, in 2020, of all years, the importance

of vaccines on human wellbeing could not be more relevant.

Good Shepherd Lutheran College Principal Anthony Dyer said, “We at Good Shepherd are immensely proud to see how Lachlan has excelled since graduating in 2016.“ “The Senior Years at Good Shepherd are designed to empower students to realise their potential.

“We strive to send our students out into the world with a thirst for learning that will enrich their lives and the lives of others.

“We wish him all the success and are confident he will make a difference in the fast developing world of immunology.”

As a member of the Molecular Mucosal Vaccine Immunology Group at the John Curtin School of Medical Research, Lachlan and his colleagues are developing a potential vaccination against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

This group is also affiliated with the Australian COVID-19 vaccination candidate led by the University of Queensland.

Recently awarded the Brasenose College - Oxford Australia Clarendon Scholarship to complete his Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil)

Good Shepherd Lutheran College graduate Lachlan Deimel. at the University of Oxford, Lachlan hopes to move to the United Kingdom in September.

There he will commence his project which aims to establish a novel vaccination design platform against viral pathogens.

So while for many 2020 will be a year they

would prefer to forget, Lachlan is excited about the next chapter in his life.

“I am incredibly excited about the prospects of this new platform and suspect that it will be particularly relevant in the current climate,” he said.

Coronavirus vaccine trials to begin at Sunshine Coast USC Clinical Trials is bringing COVID-19 vaccine research, previously only available in Australia’s major cities, to the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay. The centre’s principal investigator Dr Sue Thackwray will oversee the “healthy volunteers” clinical trial, which aims to identify the optimal dose and safety of a COVID-19 vaccine developed by US-based Novavax, Inc.

“We are excited to be participating in worldwide research to find a vaccine against COVID-19, which is a serious and life-threatening disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” Dr Thackwray said.

USC Clinical Trials Director Lucas Litewka said the vaccine research forms an integral part of the centre’s goal of bringing advanced treatments and breakthrough

therapies to the region.

“Bringing COVID-19 research to the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay allows these communities to take part in the race to resolve a global pandemic, hopefully accelerating the arrival of a viable vaccine,” he said.

The study, to be conducted at USC Clinical Trials’ Sippy Downs and Health Hub Morayfield clinics, requires healthy participants

aged 18 to 84 who are non-smokers and have not previously contracted COVID-19.

Participants will be required to attend approximately six clinic visits over seven months.

NOOK app helps trace

By Abbey Cannan A new app has been designed to help Sunshine Coast’s hospitality venues keep on top of their COVID-19 tracing and community hygiene responsibilities whilst reducing single-use items.

NOOK App has been co-created by 23-year-old entrepreneur, Bella Chambers, who saw many restaurants struggling to effectively facilitate the government’s information recording requirements and sanitisation standards.

Bella said she has been working on NOOK with her friend Jeremy, who is an app developer and web designer.“It has been amazing because anything to do with coding or creating software, that is not my area of expertise, so it’s been really great to work together with Jeremy,“ she said.

“I ran the idea past Jeremy and within three weeks we had created it, which is insane.

“Covid has obviously reinvented the way that you dine out and this has just helped people feel more comfortable.“ NOOK uses a QR-code technology which directs hospitality patrons to an online landing page where they can input their necessary contact information. This information, along with the time and date of the sign-in is instantly collated in a digital spreadsheet which venue owners can access at the click of a button. Having this data in a centralised place, ultimately provides venues with the means to help health authorities track community transmission if an outbreak was to occur in the area. Unlike many other QR code sign in apps, NOOK has also created a digital menu function.

Bella said she believed when the pandemic

was over, the hospitality industry would still be quite different.

“I think that the digital menu is something that will likely stick around for quite a while,“ she said.

“It’s hygienic and it’s saving wastage.“ With some reports indicating that management at several hotspot venues in NSW weren’t compliant in their customer information recordings, Bella said she was determined to ensure similar circumstances were avoided in popular tourist destination areas like Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.

Several local venues have already jumped on board including Land & Sea Brewery whose co-founder, Daniel Gilbert, sees NOOK as an easy way to work on their COVID risk management strategies.

Daniel said they chose to use NOOK as it was a semi-local product.

“I was originally scanning licenses and manually entering everyones information myself, so that became a bit of a labour intensive role,“ he said.

“When Bella came along and mentioned her app, I thought with that application it was easy enough to go to each table and get everyone to scan in and be proactive about it as opposed to just at the door.

“It’s just quite a simple process for people to be able to come in and still enjoy our venue.“ Daniel said business in Noosa had definitely been down due to the Covid pandemic.

“There’s no doubt about that around town, obviously we had the recent influx of Brisbane visitors for the Ekka weekend,“ he said.

“We’re happy to be trading, we’re happy to

NOOK App has been co-created by 23-year-old entrepreneur, Bella Chambers. have the doors open and we’re happy to have staff getting shifts.

“Obviously with restricted numbers, what we’re trying to do is manage efficiently the turn around of tables and table times.

“The majority of times people have been re-

ally respectful of that.“ Daniel said the Noosa community had been doing the right thing from what he had seen at his venue.

“Certainly here, it’s quite a vibrant and friendly place to be.”

Eumundi mum’s swap Having worked in countries like Egypt, Cyprus, Israel and London when bomb threats were real Leo Wiles never takes her beautiful village of Eumundi with its clean air, stable government, easily accessible locally produced food and wonderful schools for granted.

“I guess gratitude for the life my family have here is the main reasons I signed up to support people who are still looking for their own safe haven,” she said.

“So from 13 - 19 September, I’ll be eating the same rations as a Syrian refugee living in a camp in Jordan to raise as much money as possible so that those same refugees can re-

ceive emergency food, hygiene kits and lifesaving support.

“That means swapping my daily triple latte (and chats with Hughie, Gabby and Tom) for lentils, a small amount of rice, chickpeas, beans, sardines, flour and oil. Did I mention there’s no wine or worse still no veggies.”If you’d like to help Leo raise money to help those who aren’t as lucky as we are to reach her goal of $1,782 to feed a refugee family for year then please dig deep or grab those coins behind the couch cushions and sponsor her at https://actforpeace.rationchallenge.org.au/ leo-wiles.

Noosa remembers Heather Melrose The passing of former councillor and environmental advocate Heather Melrose was marked at Noosa Council’s Ordinary Meeting last week with a minute silence.

Cr Brian Stockwell spoke about Heather’s environmental activism, her musical abilities and her brilliant mind.

He said most Noosa residents would not have known that when Heather was 8 or 9 years old she was competing in violin and piano against adults and by the age of 18 she was a member of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra as well as having been dux of her school in maths.

After a successful career Heather retired to Noosa, as fate would have it, buying a house

on Woodlands Drive, Peregian Beach, overlooking Emu Swamp.

When developer TM Burke proposed to build a space-themed park and a housing development on the high dune heath of Marcus Beach Heather sprung into action.

Cr Stockwell said she spent long hours looking for a loophole to prevent the TM Burke development progressing and 26 years ago organised a protest march down David Low Way that attracted 700 people.

Finally the state government stepped in with then Environment Minister Pat Comben declaring it an area of “high conservation value” and recommended it be protected.

In 2001 when then Environment Minister

Dean Wells announced the inclusion of an extra 600 hectares of land including the contested areas into Noosa National Park land, Heather described it as the culmination of a dream. “I didn’t get into council for anything else,” she said at the time.

Cr Frank Wilkie said as a young journalist he had been impressed with Heather’s debating skills, her aim to leave Noosa a better place as well as her empathy and kindness, which had inspired him to enter local government.

Seaweed knock out blow USC research on seaweed proven to knock out the methane emitted by cows will appear in the final episode of Fight for Planet A: Our Climate Challenge, a three-part series hosted

by Craig Reucassel on ABC TV featuring footage from the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay. Professor Nick Paul from USC’s Seaweed Research Group is one of the inspirational Aussies interviewed for the episode. There, he discusses with Mr Reucassel the enormous role that seaweed can play in reducing the cattle emissions that contribute to climate change.

“Our research team put on our wetsuits to film at Moffat Beach on the Sunshine Coast where we collected a puffy pink seaweed called Asparagopsis that grows prolifically along the coastline,” Professor Paul said.

“This particular seaweed has been proven to completely knock out the methane emitted by cows every time they burp.

“It actually has no impact on the cow and, in fact, they grow faster ... so it’s great for the

environment, but we can make it economically viable as well,” he said.

Professor Paul also filmed with the crew at the Bribie Island Research Centre in Moreton Bay where USC’s Seaweed Research Group has been fine-tuning the best way to grow Asparagopsis in large quantities, as well as how to improve the concentration of its most active chemical compounds.

“If we can feed every cow in Australia, we could cut the country’s greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent,” Professor Paul said.

“Seaweed offers so many benefits, as a food source for people, as an immunity booster, for restoring the biodiversity of our coastlines, storing carbon from the atmosphere and more. Our research team is excited to be working to understand and realise the enormous potential that seaweed can offer to the economy, the environment and communities everywhere.”

The episode will be available to watch on ABC iview.

Local loos get a clean-up around Noosa A number of public amenities across Noosa will get a facelift thanks to a $220,000 joint initiative between Noosa Council and the Queensland Government.

The project, which begins this month, will include various upgrades to toilet blocks including new floor tiles, painting, rendering and maintenance to toilet cubicles.

Facilities Coordinator Chris Steel said the upgrades will freshen up some of the more dated public amenities around the shire.

“It’s a great initiative for council to be given this opportunity from the State Government and we’re putting the funds to good use

by going in and doing some cosmetic work to enhance the aesthetics of various public toilet blocks around Noosa,“ he said.

The works will collectively take a few months to complete with some of the different amenity blocks being closed to the public for up to a week at a time. Temporary toilets will be available to the public while the repairs are underway.

“We’re hoping to have these all completed by the Christmas holidays in time for the busy period. So long as there aren’t too many delays with material supplies but that doesn’t seem to be an issue at the moment so we’re

in a good position to stay on schedule,“ Mr Steel said.

“We are using local contractors to get the work completed and it’s great to fix these public amenities up, while putting money back into the local economy.”

RSL Memorial Park toilets in Tewantin will soon get a facelift.

Noosa brewery set to launch healthy choice

Peregian fire 12 months ago

Peregian fire anniversary On September 9 last year a deliberately-lit fire fanned by strong winds spread quickly from Peregian Springs down Emu Mountain Road to Peregian Beach. Thousands of people were evacuated from the township while hundreds of firefighters backed up by police fought the fire from house to house.

Thanks to the heroic efforts of emergency service crews, Peregian was saved with only one house lost. One year on, the Peregian community would like to say a heartfelt thank you to our brave fire fighters, who risked everything to save what we hold dear. On Saturday 5 September the community is invited to celebrate one year since we survived, by raising funds for the Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade, who are taking delivery of a new truck, but need a place to house it.

Peregian Family & Friends will be hosting two events that day, a family fun day and an evening fundraiser. The family fun day will run from 12-3pm. There will be lots of fun for the kids, but also a chance for the adults to hear more about volunteering opportunities for the rural fire brigade and Peregian lifesaving and nippers.

In the evening, we will hear from Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, celebrity chef and Regional Food Ambassador Matt Golinski, and Noosa Fire Station Officer Rob Frey, who helped protect Peregian at Woodland Drive, the last line of defence before a change of wind sent the flames west of Peregian.

We invite you to join us by purchasing tickets at: https://www.trybooking.com/BKZEZ.

Heads of Noosa Brewing Co. is set to release a brand-new beverage to market that has never been created commercially in Australia before. It’s a zero sugar, zero alcohol, sparkling, hop-infused water called Hop Valley H2O. With the demand for more health-conscious, zero sugar beverage options growing at a rapid rate, the brewery saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the market that had never been done before in Australia.

The versatile drink offers a number of advantages as a healthier option over sugarlaced soft drinks and even most flavoured waters. It also doubles as a great mixer, particularly with gin, if you’re in the mood for something stronger.

Having focused entirely on brewing beer to date, this endeavor is something new for the relatively young brewery based in Noosa.

Director of Heads of Noosa and brains behind Hop Valley H2O, Craig Masterton, said Hops are one of the four key ingredients in brewing beer and are primarily used to contribute bitterness but also a wide array of flavours and aromas. “The Hop Valley hop blend boasts a range of citrus notes,“ he said.

“Having an affinity with this ingredient meant it was quite natural for the brewery to play around with infusing hops into sparkling water.

“Being brewers, we’re constantly interacting with hops, so it made sense to use them as a flavouring option for this project.

“We’re confident in the product we’ve produced so are really excited to see how it goes.”

Our Dawn in Rome 1960:

By Ian Jobling On the night of August 29, 1960 - ‘Our Dawn’, a very apt title because she has resided in Noosa Waters for many years, was again Olympic Champion in the 100m Freestyle. She won in 1:01.2, breaking her 1956 Melbourne Olympic record.

At the Stadio de Nuoto in Rome she became the first Australian to defend an Olympic swimming title. The headlines in Australia were amazing: “Acclaim for Fraser After Easy Swim Win”. AAP’s Alan Clarkson proclaimed “Dawn Fraser established herself as the greatest woman swimmer Australia has produced.”.

But, within twenty-four hours things changed. In her autobiography Dawn: One Hell of a Life, published in 2001, the chapter on Rome was titled, ‘The Best of Times, the Worst of Times’. Why? So much has been written, ‘warts and all’, in newspapers, magazines and books about Dawn, considered by her peers and commentators as our greatest Olympian.

Throughout 1960, sports journalists had touted Fraser should be flagbearer for the Opening Ceremony - “she would be the first woman, ... she is highly regarded in amateur sport for her sportsmanlike demeanour and cheery manner.” An unnamed swimming official even recommended a lightweight flagpole be built specially so that Dawn’s strength wouldn’t be taxed.

It didn’t happen. Indeed, all swimmers were banned from marching or even sitting in the stands for that special Olympic ceremony.

Headlines such as “Swimmers up in arms at Union tyranny” in the Australian press reflected the mood of the swimmers, and it most definitely affected the morale of the team.

Dawn acquiesced to the ‘ban’ - she and Lorraine Crapp said, “We rested all afternoon, and we needed it”.

Upon arrival in Rome, Fraser suffered from ‘Rome tummy”, which affected most of the Australian team, especially 1956 Olympic champion Jon Henricks, who didn’t medal at all.

Dawn trained with Olympic champion Jon Henricks because “I had always based my swimming times on those of the men; it was as integral part of my regime.” Earlier in the year, under the newspaper headline. “Watch out for Dawn boys, she’ll beat you!”, Dawn said, “what is important is that by breaking the minute in the 100m I’ll be helping to prove that women can swim as fast as men.”

In spite of her desire to ‘break the minute in the 100m Freestyle Final, “Coach (Harry Gallagher) and I decided that I shouldn’t swim flat out in an effort to break the minute ... . I’m still weak from loss of weight, so I swam the first leg easily and came home hard”. Her main rival, American Chris von Saltza was with Dawn at the turn but I ‘pulled away to set another Olympic record in 61.2 seconds.

Dawn was to have swum in five events but her health was such that Gallagher advised her to withdraw from the Butterfly races; the ramifications of that decision were widespread.

Australian journalist Harry Gordon, later a co-author of one of Dawn’ several biographies,

Dawn Fraser touted to be Flagbearer at Opening Ceremony

Fraser preferred to train with male swimmers, and another of her ambitions was to be the first woman to break the minute for the 100 metres – the equivalent of the 4 Minute “barrier’’ which was broken 6 years earlier in 1954.

Dawn Fraser in 1960 Uniform. From Murray Phillips, Swimming Australia p. 169.

Picture: NATIONAL LIBRARY OF AUSTRALIA wrote summarily in 1961: ... under the stress of international competition, she did a couple of silly things; she lost her temper and struck a team-mate (Jan Andrew), and she refused to swim in a relay race. Her scuffle with Jan Andrew was unjustified, but not all that hard to understand in the context of strained temperaments - and I believe she was simply following her coach’s instructions by refusing to take part in the relay.

Dawn’s big mistake was to cross officialdom and this can be a dangerous thing in Australian swimming. She took notice of her coach rather than the manager of the swimming team.

Since Dawn, the world-record holder of the 100m Butterfly, had withdrawn from that even, Jan Andrew was Australia’s sole representative.

The selectors surmised that Andrew be rested for her final and Fraser should swim the Butterfly leg in the heat of the Medley Relay.

In Townsville “I strained my stomach muscles quite badly in butterfly training and was advised by the doctor to give away this strenuous stroke.” Before leaving Australia, “I was genuinely under the impression that I wasn’t in the medley, and (in Rome) was told 1.5 hours beforehand that I had to (swim) .. . I argued and I refused”.

Jan Andrew won a bronze medal (1:12.2) in the Butterfly, Alva Colquhoun volunteered to swim the Butterfly leg in the Medley Relay heat, and Australia won silver (Marilyn Wilson, Rosemary Lassig, Janice Andrew, and Dawn Fraser).

Still suffering from gastric problems and mental concerns because of relations with the team, Fraser finished fifth in the 400m Final.

Her performance was so ‘not-Our Dawn’; some officials stated that she hadn’t tried. Dawn reacted - “I’ve never thrown a race in my life”.

In the 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay, Australia came second (4:11.3) to the USA team which set a new world record (4:08.3). Fraser swam the starting leg followed by Ilsa Konrads, Lorraine Crapp and Alva Colquhoun. Dawn’s time was 60.6 seconds - an Olympic record.

Despite extolling ‘Olympic record-breaking Dawn’, in winning gold in the 100m Freestyle, and silver medals in the Medley and Freestyle Relays, the press made much of the incidents.

Some were petty. For example, Fraser wore high-heeled shoes at the official welcome and flag-raising ceremony of the Australian team to the Athletes Village.

The best and worst times On the victory dais when receiving her individual gold medal, Fraser wore a white tracksuit with a map of Australia embroidered on the front instead of the national one. It was a gift from Larco, dressmakers where Dawn had worked when she left school: “it was made of light nylon ... comfortable in hot weather.”

“Looking back, the white tracksuit was not the smartest move I’ve ever made. But certainly not a defiant or intentionally rebellious act.” Dawn wrote: “Not a single official said anything about the tracksuit during the Games but ... six months later, it appeared they were all upset about it. ... I liked the tracksuit and my official one was wet.”

The ASU report indicated they expected Olympians “to do their very best in and out of the water, and definitely obey the instructions of the appointed manager”. Fraser was banned from swimming in international competition for two years.

While still under the ‘ban’ from international swimming by the ASU, but after having won 7 Olympics medals (3 gold and 4 silver), Dawn Fraser received the prestigious Helms Award - now known as the ‘World Trophy’ - in 1961.

Having already ‘broken the minute’ for the 100m Freestyle in 1962, Dawn again won gold at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games in another Olympic Record (59.5 secs). Again, her ‘behaviour’ out of the swimming pool was ‘unbecoming’ according to the ASU. She was banned again - for ten years. But that is another story.

P.S. `There could be many postscripts but these two are of significance: While attending the 1968 Mexico Olympics as a spectator, Fraser was challenged to swim the 100m in under 62 seconds. Long retired and with little preparation, she swam it in 60.2 seconds. A few days later, American Jan Henne won the 100m Final in exactly one minute. No Australian swimmer made that Final.

In her speech in Townsville at a reunion of

Dawn Fraser was in hot water’ for being ‘regimentally undressed’ in the Australian flag-raising ceremony at the Olympic Village because she wore high-heels instead of the regulation half-heels. The explanation? On Dawn’s left is canoeist Heidy Sager; on the right is swimmer Sandra Morgan. veteran swimmers in 2000, Dawn Fraser acknowledged, “I do regret my treatment of Jan Andrew in Rome ... I want to tell her publicly that I apologise. If I had known then what I know now it would never have happened.”

Later that evening, Jan Andrew and Dawn Fraser embraced and reminisced.

Mural nods to 100 years

By Abbey Cannan Tewantin-Noosa RSL Sub Branch celebrated their 100 year anniversary last Thursday with the unveiling of a mural painted by local artist Christine de Stoop.

Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien, State Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton, and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart were all in attendance for the event, along with members of the sub branch.

Mr O’Brien said he wanted to acknowledge Adel Amin, president of the Sub Branch, along with the committee members who worked tirelessly to put the event together.

“100 years today is quite extraordinary. On the 20th of August 1920 the Tewantin Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League,” he said.

“So much has changed since this organisation was formed. Noosa and Tewantin is a place that wouldn’t be recognised by the people who formed this but one thing that hasn’t changed is the advocacy of the RSL and services provided to it’s members in times of need.”

Ms Bolton said the mural was reflective of not only the roles of all service men and women, but also told so many stories.

“Those stories will hopefully continue to be told through the generations and these murals help to keep those stories alive,” she said.

“It’s a reminder everyday that there are those that absolutely gave everything for us.

“We think we’re facing enormous challenges with Covid and what we’re confronting there, but when you look at what they actually faced, we can totally do Covid not a problem at all.”

Ms Stewart said it was important to acknowledge the RSL and all that they’ve done for our community.

“It’s incredibly important to acknowledge our service men and women and all the contributions they’ve made to our country, our lives and our society over hundreds of years.

Chris Topovsek and RSL District Vice President Skip Antony.

Sub branch members were excited to celebrate the 100 year anniversary.

“There is no greater sacrifice then what the men and women of war give up to allow us to live the way we do and the lifestyle we have.”

Ms Stewart said artist Christine did a magnificent job on the mural.

“When I saw it, I thought it’s just beautiful and I think it’s a great tribute to all of the various wars we’ve been involved in over the years.”

Lloyd Cairns at the Noosa River.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

Lloyd is our River Man

By Margaret Maccoll Maybe it was the Sunday trips to the beach as a boy or the gun-toting lifesavers that led to a career around water for 89-year-old Lloyd Cairns whose connection with the region tells much about the changing face of Noosa. He spoke to Noosa Today about those heady days.

Born in Eumundi hospital, attended by Dr Henderson and Nurse Luke, in 1931 Lloyd spent his early years in the centre of the village. His father was the local mechanic and the family lived next-door to Adam’s garage at the boarding house owned by his grandmother, who was also the station mistress.

“We used to go over the road to meet the trains,“ he said.

A trip to Noosa was a weekly event when Lloyd was a boy when the cream carrier would pick up locals on a Sunday to go to the beach.

It was a place Lloyd remembers being full of shells particularly after rough weather. “Kids would have competitions making shell gardens,“ he said.

“Opposite the surf club George Hay lived in a house that always had a boat being built in the backyard - about 25 ft. There was a mango tree between, now it’s Betty’s Burgers“.

There was no rock wall and the surf club, of which Lloyd later became an associate member, was a shed on the beach with a 25 foot tower and no such thing as shark nets.

“The lifesaver would be armed with a .303 to chase the sharks,“ he said. “They’d ring a bell, everyone would run out, and they’d shoot at the sharks.“ Lloyd remembers the river and beach area as being “very ordinary” at the time and covered in “saltwater grass” but it didn’t deter the 22 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 August, 2020

visitors to Munna Point which “was very popular”.

“People would go fishing and camping. It was pretty rough. No electricity. They had a shed on the grounds with a tank - that was all the water you got. Sometimes you had to wait for council to fill it up.

“When they put in a block of toilets - that was the first building with electricity.

“They had electricity at the end of the war one at the tennis court, one at Maisies.”

When Lloyd’s mother was a girl she used to ride her horse to Tewantin to attend the dances at a hall across from the Royal Mail where they were permitted to sleep for the night on the verandah. In Lloyd’s day Lionel Donovan ran the bus run.

“He’d pick up visitors from the train at Cooroy and bring them to Noosa. He’s stop at the Royal Mail, which he owned, for lunch - it served good food. If people wanted to go and hire one of the motor boats they’d pack them up with a picnic lunch.”

Tewantin was a popular holiday spot, especially with people arriving from the Ipswich coal mines, he said.

Fires were also a frequent visitor to Tewantin. Lloyd remembers two pubs, the picture theatre and guest house going up in smoke.

“Martin’s Hotel was the first one to burn down,“ he said.

“When the Royal Mail burnt down they built a tin shed and kept serving.

Donovan’s picture theatre located across the road went up in flames. It wasn’t replaced and neither was the San Ilandra guest house that was located on the site of Noosa Council Chambers before it went up in a big blaze, he said.

When money got a bit tight at home Lloyd’s family moved to Brisbane where his father worked again as a mechanic, but when war broke out he returned to live at his grandparents dairy at Beddington.

When he was old enough Lloyd returned to Brisbane where through a friend’s father he gained a job servicing lighthouses along the east coast of Queensland to PNG. He remained working in the job and enjoying fishing on the reef in his off-time for eight years until he married his wife Kathy Kuhn and decided he needed to spend more time at home.

The couple moved into a flat at Kelvin Grove while Lloyd worked with his father. But the draw of the sea took hold again and in 1958 he was on a prawn trawler in Moreton Bay before taking on the role of seaman with the hydrological survey department of Harbours and Marine as they surveyed the coast from Brisbane to Kurumba.

In 1970 Lloyd and Kathy bought a high set house in Tewantin, which remains his home, for $6500 - “quite a bit at that time“.

“The real estate told me you won’t make anything out of this for a few years,“ he laughed.

“It was pretty quiet. There was no house below me, nothing on the east side. It was all open and full of kangaroos. In winter they’d come and lay in the yard. We had a big billy goat. He’d team up with them.“ Lloyd began work issuing speedboat licenses for recreational boaties, a job he held for 27 years.

Ahead of his time he worked from a home office, and operated from the Noosaville boat ramp. When he started a license was $5, then it went up to $15 and when he finished it was

$30. Today it’s about $100 more.

“I knew a lot of them on the boats,“ he said.

“90 per cent of them were good to deal with.“ Fishing was the major attraction for speedboats and fish were plentiful. Seeing mullet jumping in the river was commonplace, there were flathead around the new moon and plenty of lovely whiting, Lloyd said. It was a fishing friend, Bruce McConnell, who introduced him to the Tewantin-Noosa bowls club one day. “We left the Royal Mail and walked to the bowls club. They had food on the bar. We were eating sea scollops,“ he said. “What did you come for - a feed?“ he was asked so he decided to join the club and remained a member for 46 years. “It only opened up Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My parents lived on the esplanade. It was nice and handy.“ New developments and an influx of residents from Victoria, regarded as “the white shoe brigade“ signalled a change from the layback lifestyle Lloyd enjoyed.

“The destruction of Hay Island made a big difference to the roe habitat. It was during the Bjelke Petersen era. They bulldozed it out. Now it’s Noosa Sound.“ The river he now considers “too busy, too many speedboat,“ and gone are the people who lived in sheds or “gunyahs“, as they were known, among the mangroves along the river.

One memorable character, Fred Gordon with his blue cattle dog, used to catch fish he’d push around in a wheelbarrow to sell. “He got a few bucks and built a boat on the edge - 30 ft high - The Oliver Twist,“ he said.

When people saw it they’d say “here comes one helluva twist,“ Lloyd said. Noosa was a place of dreams where anything goes and everything was possible.

The Australian team of Stew and Ethan who are putting a modern chefy spin on traditional Australian “classics”, including steak and three veg and custard slice, cook in the first episode against Chrys and Mandy representing team China.

The duo are normal Aussie hipsters who keep referring to their mashed potato as Pomme Puree to the point where it’s hard not to lose the will to the live (and they are only beaten in the pompous stakes by the French team who seem to ‘be the show’s baddies -

Glowing and growing with confidence Glow Up, Netflix The second series of Glow Up (Britain’s Next Make Up Star) has hit Netflix.

Wannabe make-up stars vie to be the next big thing in their industry in a show reminiscent of British Bake Off (and the brilliant Next in Fashion).

This time around we have everyone from working make-up artists (or MUAs if you want to learn the lingo) and YouTube tutorial stars (and everyone in between). Given how many YouTube MUAs there are - this was a pretty smart move.

Ms 21 (who has been known to spend hours watching and emulating the looks) was fascinated. It was actually more fun watching her watching the techniques, critiquing the styles, the brands they are using (that makes a dif-

What was impressive for those of us who can’t get in front of the bathroom mirror

though, was the opportunities the young MUAs were given - working on looks for London Fashion Week and magazine campaigns with one always being chosen to help out.

That is once in a life-time stuff for a young MUA and would be more than worth the tears.

After the first campaign they then come back to headquarters for their creative challenge before the bottom two face-off creating a quick look under pressure on identical twins.

Sure, we’ve seen it all before as a format, but with more and more of us stuck at home with eyeliner palettes and creative flair - it’s a chance to dream and to get tips for new looks.

The artistry of the MUAs is fabulous but then Gen Z on a whole seems to be a lot more advanced than we were back in the day (or so I’m told repeatedly by artist daughter).

The second and superior Netflix superhero movie of 2020, Project Power is an exciting, stylish action-thriller with great character writing, yet stumbles in its world-building.

In a near-future New Orleans, a cop, a veteran and a street-smart kid join forces to shut down a drug ring distributing Power, a drug that grants users a random superpower for five minutes.

The performances feel natural, and the main characters, who all have a personal connection to Power, interact and develop in engaging ways.

Jamie Foxx plays hard-edged veteran Art, who steadily bonds with shy but resourceful student Robin (Dominique Fishback). Joseph Gordon-Levitt provides plenty of dry wit as Frank, a cop who takes Power even as he works to stop its distribution, and is initially pitted against Art. As Art and Frank discover the conspiracy manipulating them both, all three characters converge for a daring raid on the drug pushers’ stronghold.

The action is tense and efficient, with one particularly impressive long-take sequence shown through the window of a glass cage, and the plot has several thematic elements that pay off in clever ways later on.

Unfortunately, the villains are underdeveloped and feel disconnected from each other, and like Code 8 mostly ignoring the ghastly source of its own superpower-related drug, Project Power has a contrived explanation for the Power drug’s effects, which contradicts Art’s tragic family connection to the drug.

Project Power is a compelling thriller with an inventive premise, but its setting is less developed than its characters.

Queensland’s treaty path The Queensland Government will establish a new Treaty Advancement Committee to progress the Path to Treaty process with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Following three months of statewide consultation by an Eminent Panel, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Queensland Government was proud to support the recommendation to move forward on a Path to Treaty with First Nations Queenslanders.

“A Treaty Advancement Committee will provide independent advice on the implementation of the panel’s recommendations,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“It will ensure Queensland is well placed to consider the next steps in the journey to a treaty with First Nations Queenslanders.

“Today’s release of the Path to Treaty Statement of Commitment and response to the Eminent Panel recommendations shows our commitment to further treaty conversations with all members of the community - including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners, Elders, leaders and key organisations across the state.

Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander Partnerships Craig Crawford said the process was about shaping our state’s shared future together.

“Establishing a treaty or agreement making process - based on mutual understanding, respect and recognition - with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders will be fundamental to improving life outcomes for the first peoples of this state,” Mr Crawford said.

“The Palaszczuk Government values the important role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders as the First Nations people of this state.

“We will right the relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders to deliver better economic, employment, health and housing outcomes for the First Nations people.”

Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef, Minister for Science and Minister for the Arts Leeanne Enoch said the importance of truth telling and accepting our shared history, even the most uncomfortable aspects of our history, was critical in progressing meaningful agreement making.

“As a proud Quandamooka woman, I know

that our journey towards treaty or treaties will require an unwavering commitment to unpacking our past and forging a reconciled path that enables greater equality for First Nations peoples,” Ms Enoch said.

The establishment of a Treaty Advancement Committee will move Queensland forward in this process.”

Minister Enoch said this was a significant and historic step for Queensland that recognised the hard work of generations of people who were committed to better outcomes for First Nations peoples in this state.

Member for Cook and Iamalaig woman Cynthia Lui said that treaty would empower First Nations Queenslanders to be more involved in driving better outcomes for their communities.

“Treaty will give First Nations people a platform to negotiate improved policies, programs and services for communities,” Ms Lui said.

Queensland’s newest Member of Parliament, Member for Bundamba and proud member of the Gubbi Gubbi nation Lance McCallum said he was immensely proud to be walking the first steps on a Path to Treaty and

truth telling for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Queensland.

“As the third Indigenous MP to simultaneously hold a seat in Queensland Parliament, my hope is that Queensland’s Path to Treaty will be an historic milestone in our state’s reconciliation journey, and remembered for generations to come,” Mr McCallum said.

Eminent Panel Co-Chairs Dr Jackie Huggins and Professor Michael Lavarch said the Queensland Government’s commitment to treaty was another step forward on the state’s reconciliation journey.

“During the consultations many people said that treaty was a way to deal with ‘unfinished business’, so I’m glad that Queenslanders will have that opportunity,” Dr Huggins said.

Professor Lavarch said the commitment to release the report enabled Queenslanders to see their input reflected and learn more about the consultation outcomes.

“We’re very pleased that the Queensland Government has accepted our recommendation to publicly release the Path to Treaty report,” Professor Lavarch said.

Stop Littering ... just a moment while I climb up on my Soap Box and agree with a previous letter from S.Klapish of Tewantin.

While on a regular walk in our neighbourhood my wife and I take a garbage bag with us and pick up the litter along the way.

We do this because we can and we do enjoy our walk - it’s nice to see our surroundings without unnecessary litter, it would be even better to do it without the chore. ... oh I hear some of you out there saying what sad little soles ... read on!

The picture shows what we collected in just 2km on Beddington Road Doonan last weekend.

What is it that gives others ... .yes that’s some of you reading this, the right to toss glass bottles, cans, fast food wrappers, cigarette butts, plastic bags, coffee cups, and any amount of other stuff out the window of your car or allow it to fly of the back of your vehicle ... .is your own front yard at home littered like this?....I would guess not.

We can all do our own little bit when out and about - firstly to those of you who fall into the above group ... .you know who you are ...

STOP and think about our fragile Earth.

To all others if we all just pick up one or two items when out and about we will end up with a more pleasant environment to enjoy ... believe me Noosa/ Sunshine Coast/Queensland/ Australia is a beautiful part of the world ... let’s make it better!

We are very lucky to line here, hopefully soon in a cleaner environment.

Ethical Dilemma Australia’s Catholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher sparked outrage after suggesting the COVID-19 vaccine creates an “ethical dilemma” for Catholics who may refuse it, because the vaccine uses a cell line from an aborted foetus in 1972.

Interesting to note the Catholic Church has not recently raised “ethical dilemmas” regarding current vaccines against rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis A, and shingles. Nor does it find approved drugs against diseases including hemophilia, rheumatoid arthritis, and cystic fibrosis problematic. (All of which are produced using tissues from human abortion.)

It is far more concerning that parliament is “ethically tainted” by religious interference, and the Catholic Church has “ethical dilemmas” regarding endemic misogyny and paedophilia.

Good Read Noosa Today is a very good read... a good mix of local news, events, sports and photos.

Phil Jarratt`s column is very enjoyable as is Ron Lane`s.

I would like to see more about Noosa Dolphins senior competition and the 3 Surf Clubs, not only about Surf Club Sports, but about some of the rescues the volunteers perform.

I know that last year Noosa Patrol members were responsible for several rescues in the National Park, one of which was very difficult and which the Community should know about.

Most of the volunteers are locals , and it would be good to know who they are.

I know that like many people I like to read the local news while having lunch or breakfast, it is hard to do that with a computer. It is also hard to do crosswords and word puzzles on the computer and eat at same time.

I now look forward to Fridays when it is delivered.

Tone It Down How wonderful to see personal trainers out along the riverfront in the early hours. However, can they please tone down the noise a bit and be aware that numerous others are not apart of your class. At 6am every morning

there are solo or class gatherings screaming into devices or their charges with the bashing of boxing gloves or being told to ‘extend that leg’! You are all operating on council property, and I’m glad you’re allowed to, but you have also destroyed the ambience, peace and tranquility for the majority.

Road Safety Safety on the busy Noosa Eumundi Road between Emu Mountain and Duke Road is of concern and needs to be addressed by the Sunshine Coast Council. As a Doonan resident I frequently observe drivers not giving way to oncoming vehicles at the intersections of Beddington Road and Duke Road, stop signs need be installed to avoid nasty accidents. The 60 km/h speed limit needs to be extended from Emu Mountain Road through to Beddington Road for the safety of motorists entering and leaving Fruits of Noosa and other businesses in that section.

The Hotseat Phil Jarratt

Glen Elmes: ‘There was Former State MP for Noosa and Minister for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islanders and Multicultural Affairs GLEN ELMES has been part of the political landscape for so long that it’s easy to forget about his long and illustrious career in regional media - one that almost ended when he was held at gunpoint during a three-hour siege at the Nambour studio of Radio 4SS in 1986. Now running Strategic Pathways Consulting, with a string of local business clients and pro bono work on behalf of Katie Rose Hospice, the man who some say sacrificed his political career over the de-amalgamation campaign, has been under a self-imposed cone of silence on political matters since his defeat in 2017, but he agreed to sit in the Noosa Today Hotseat with Phil Jarratt.

Can you walk us through your 30-odd years in radio?

35 actually, starting at 4IP, Brisbane’s leading radio station at the time. Everyone who worked there had a title and mine was “director of telecommunications and postal services”. I was the office boy. One of the owners, Sir Frank Moore, everyone called him FT, took me under his wing and became one of my great mentors. I’d wait for him at the lift every morning and wave my tape at him. “FT, FT, you have to listen to this!” I’d drag him into a studio and make him listen to my “air check” as we called our announcing test tapes. He’d tell me to keep up the good work but I’d never get on air.

Then one day I was summoned to his office on a Thursday afternoon and I was told that I’d start work at Mount Isa on Monday morning, under these conditions: I’d go to church every Sunday, I’d board with a local family, and the station manager would hold my bank book. I started on air doing the drive shift at four on Monday afternoon, aged 16 ½.

As well as being on air every day, the announcers had to liaise with advertisers, meeting them and working on copy ideas for their ads, getting to know their businesses. I loved that interaction, and I realized very early in my radio career that I was not John Laws, so I’d better be good at the other stuff. They sent me next to 4WK in Warwick where I started to transition from announcing into sales. But the town hated us after the station largely moved to Toowoomba, and I couldn’t give an ad away, so at 18 or so I became a joiner, joining Rotary and every committee that would have me. I’d already joined the Liberal Party when I was in Mount Isa. The joining paid off and eventually we had to put another sales rep on and I became the sales manager for the Southern Downs region, the first of many managerial jobs in radio, including four memorable years in Emerald, where we opened a new station and I met my wife, Lesleigh. We were married in 1985 and at the end of the year we moved to the Sunshine Coast where I became manager of 4SS, then 4GY in Gympie, which had operations in Noosa as well, and that became my focus. We had the opportunity to get an FM license so we started Heat FM, which is now Zinc.

Which was when our paths first crossed, and I seem to recall you were already politically active.

Yes, I was, but mostly behind the scenes. Then in 2004 I decided to follow my dreams and ran as the Liberal candidate for Noosa and got done by Labor’s Cate Molloy. So, was that it? The end of my political career before it really started? I couldn’t walk away, so I started a three-year campaign and won the seat in 2006.

The previous Member for Noosa from your side of politics, Bruce Davidson, went on to become a minister ...

I was the bloke who talked him into running, and it took quite a while to get him out of the tackle shop! From the time I arrived on the Sunshine Coast I’d done a lot of work for the party, becoming chairman of the local branch, then moving on to the State executive, over a long period, so I’d laid the groundwork in helping get quite a few people preselected and elected, including Davo, who hadn’t previously 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 August, 2020

been a member of a political party. He was a good fit for the electorate, bit of a larrikin, a bloke who crossed over the whole community.

Getting back to your ministerial ambitions, did you have a strategy?

(Laughs) There wasn’t time to form a strategy. I won the seat in September 2006 and in March 2007 (Premier Peter) Beattie decided he was going to amalgamate councils. I was still getting lost trying to find my way around Parliament House when this enormous issue was thrust on us, and I was absolutely opposed to it.

There were some councils where it worked but it didn’t fit Noosa. My colleagues in the Parliament, including opposition leader Jeff Seeney, were behind me all the way, so we started organizing against it. In Noosa we had the Friends of Noosa group who raised a lot of money, and the Noosa Parks Association. We organized protests in Brisbane and leaflet campaigns and so on. Then, when John-Paul Langbroek became opposition leader I got him to commit to supporting Noosa as a special case, but when Campbell Newman was brought in as a captain’s pick in 2011, he said all policies were null and void. I knew if I couldn’t convince him to support Noosa, my chances of retaining the seat were gone. Newman came to my office in Noosa and met the key players in the de-amalgamation movement, including Noel Playford, who did such great work in proving the case. In the end, he cut back our idea for a Greater Noosa Shire, but supported keeping the existing shire. So what we took to the election was that Noosa would be allowed to vote to determine its future as a shire, and we won government. And then we won the referendum

Minister for Aboriginal Affairs at work. for de-amalgamation, and credit for that goes not only to the lobby groups who fought for it, but to the people of Noosa, who don’t take to the streets and protest, but this time they did.

A source very close to all of this told me, “One of the unsung heroes of deamalgamation is Glen Elmes who basically sacrificed his political career for it.” How do you respond to that?

There was some collateral damage, that’s all I’ll say.

Picture: SUPPLIED There’s a history in Noosa of having to cross political lines for the good of the community, is there not?

In my time in Parliament I’d look across the benches and see people on both sides swearing to crush the others in a very personal way. If you operate that way, when you need something for a particular electorate, it might be hard to get an appointment. You can argue and make your point strongly on the floor of the Parliament, but that’s just theatre. The real work is done elsewhere.

some collateral damage’

The way we were. Glen with a 1974 top 40 chart featuring his youthful image.

Does what you’re saying make Noosa more naturally an independent seat?

Well, we’re at the point of the electoral cycle, with an election closing in, where the independents and the minor parties are talking up the likelihood of a hung parliament, which is very rare but what they need to have any voice. An electorate does really well when it’s represented by someone whose party is in government.

That’s the fact of the matter, particularly now, where the state is even more broke than it was before Covid, and there’s not a lot of money to hand around.

I’ve spent the last three years since I lost the seat not commenting on what my successor has done, and I made that promise to myself because it would be read as sour grapes, or positioning for another run, which I’m not. I’ve

Picture: SUPPLIED written many letters to the editor and deleted before sending. After November 1, I may voice my opinions, but it will be Glen Elmes speaking as an individual, not a politician.

Can we discuss your term as Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, as it was then?

Yes, a very enjoyable period and I met some wonderful people in charge of the remote Aboriginal local councils.

Have you followed the progress of the Kabi Kabi Native Title?

I don’t think there has been a lot of progress.

We tend to get hung up on side issues when the most important part of the debate is that kids aren’t going to school, women are being raped, gambling is out of control, there is no

future for them. This is what we have to concentrate on. It’s a shame on all of us because we aren’t doing that.

How would you face an election in the time of Covid?

We’re likely to have two elections in one - one would be in South East Queensland where restrictions have taken a toll, and one for the rest of Queensland where they largely haven’t.

The leadership is important, and I’ll go back to Anna Bligh, who was thought to have done a great job during the floods, but it didn’t help Labor at the election. You might draw the same conclusion about the leadership under Covid.

And of course, electioneering has to be done in a completely different way which favours people of profile.

But how would Glen Elmes stand for re-election?

(Laughs) You’re asking me to delve into areas I said I wouldn’t. Look, at some point you have to live off your reputation. You have to be seen to have delivered for your electorate, but getting that message across is much more difficult now. The media has been stripped right back, the costs of direct campaigns have gone through the roof, and you can’t stand on street corners or turn up at the market.

As a politician, what’s the thing you’re most proud of?

That I can still walk through a supermarket doing the shopping and hold my head up. And the fact that I’ve maintained friendships with so many of the people of all walks of life I met through politics.

Noosa foodie fest twist Noosa’s signature foodie festival, the Noosa Eat & Drink Festival will look a little different in 2021, evolving from the annual four-day event in May to a series of events throughout the year.

Adapting to the unstable environment created by COVID, Tourism Noosa and the Festival team have redesigned the event with the health and safety of guests, staff, festival partners and importantly visitors as a top priority.

Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said the decision not to hold the usual large-scale event which may or may not be able to be run due to COVID restrictions, presented an opportunity to think outside of the box.

“Planning for the annual event in May would normally be well and truly under way at this time of year for our festival team, but there is a very real reality that we may not be able to host our usual large-scale festival which attracts over 10,000 visitors across the four days”.

“With this in mind we have reimagined what the festival could look like and in collaboration with our festival partners and industry, have redesigned the festival into a series of smaller, more frequent events throughout the year, which will ultimately provide our visitors more opportunities to enjoy the Noosa Eat & Drink experience”.

“One of the primary goals of hosting the festival is to bring visitors to our region in a traditionally quiet time and to showcase our incredible restaurants, breweries, distilleries and producers. By hosting several events throughout the year, we will have more opportunities to do this, getting visitors out and about across our region”.

“We believe this is the best option to take the festival forward during these uncertain times, allowing us to program positive COVIDsafe events for smaller, more intimate groups” said Ms Anderson.

Festival Manager Lee Huber said festival organisers would be working with existing festival partners, visiting chefs, our restaurants, our food and drinks industry groups and some charities to curate some really exciting experiences.

“The change has been well received by Noosa’s new Food & Drink Tourism Advisory Group which has recently been formulated,

Noosa Eat & Drink to evolve bringing together the region’s various food and beverage groups to support and develop the industry within the Noosa region,” Ms Huber said.

Brent Ogilvie from Ogilvie Group (Rickys, Wood Fire Grill, Locale, Aromas Noosa and Maravista Farm) said it was great to see the

festival evolving and being able to continue showcasing Noosa’s wonderful food, produce and drink offerings, especially in these challenging times.

Slow Food Noosa’s President Carolyn Winkler said “the Festival was an integral part of Noosa’s food scene and the changes to a series of events

was an exciting one, potentially allowing more opportunities to showcase the region“.

Details of the first event, scheduled for late 2020 will be announced shortly. To be the first in the know, follow Noosa Eat & Drink at instagram/noosaeatdrink and subscribe to the newsletter at www.noosaeatdrink.com.au

“In effect it became my daily blog which I titled My Pandemic Journey,“ she said.

“As each little booklet was completed it was turned into a PDF Ebook“.

The Queensland State Library were asking for material to be considered for inclusion In their Covid Queensland History so Lin submitted her material for consideration and was delighted when she was contacted with a proposal for acquisition.

“I have been informed that my material

will be included in the State catalogue,“ she said.

Eye dog fundraiser Thanks to the Noosa community’s generous contribution to the Petbarn Foundation’s Seeing Eye Dogs Appeal, Petbarn has raised an incredible $775,000 in July.

A record amount in the appeal’s 7th year - surpassed its $500,000 fundraising target by $275,000 - and since 2014 have now been able to train 85 Seeing Eye Dogs and change 85 Australian lives for the better.

Local Noosa customers helped Petbarn Noosa raise over $3844 towards the annual appeal that will help cover the costs of breeding, training and caring for Seeing Eye Dogs.

Thanks to the local community, 15 Seeing Eye Dogs puppies will be able to commence their two-year training process and enable Australians who are blind or have low vision to have greater independence, with the best of companions by their side.

Petbarn Noosa Store Manager, Peter Auld said, “We’re extremely grateful to everybody that donated what they could to this great

cause. We know 2020 has been a challenging year for so many people, yet our customers continue to amaze us with their generosity.”

Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs General Manager, Graeme Craig, said, “Our partnership with the Petbarn Foundation is integral to raising funds so that even more Seeing Eye Dogs pups can complete the extensive training they require.

“We’re overwhelmed with how much has been raised for this year’s appeal. Through the amazing efforts of Petbarn/City Farmers customers, we can continue to support even more Australians who are blind or have low vision.

“It takes a lot of expertise, time, love, patience and funding to raise these special dogs that will one day provide the gift of independence. For the right person, these highly trained dogs help them move confidently and navigate obstacles with much more reliability and safety.”

A free program to support residents’ mental wellbeing has commenced through USC’s Thompson Institute.

The eight-week preventative program, EMERALD, offers one-on-one telehealth appointments and online education for adults with feelings of worry, loneliness or gloominess, perhaps due to the impacts of COVID-19.

Institute director and leading neuroscientist Professor Jim Lagopoulos said EMERALD supported people to implement healthy lifestyle strategies proven to help regain mental wellbeing early.

“EMERALD is designed to help people get on top of early signs of depression, anxiety or loneliness - before they worsen or become longer-term,” Professor Lagopoulos said.

“This kind of proactive mental wellbeing care is vital to aid prevention, and it’s particularly important now as we all face the repercussions of COVID-19 and the resulting pre-

He has a new album with Paul Grabowsky released recently, and we are excited about great new biography from Stuart Coupe, also a professional in his own field of rock biography.

Kelly is known as a chronicler of Australian life,

This book chronicles Kelly’s life from his beginnings in a house full of kids in Adelaide along his fabulous trajectory through the Australian music scene and onto stages around the globe. Here you can read about his music collaborations and friendships through these golden years of Australian music I have heard him called “the thinking man’s musician”, and that may be so, but Paul Kelly’s songs have touched the hearts and souls of music lovers of all ages and backgrounds in this country and further afield.

Professor Lagopoulos said the Queensland Health-funded program would support people to put in place healthy self-care habits that are backed by neuroscience, including strategies related to social connection, mindfulness, sleep, diet and exercise.

“Participants receive one-on-one telehealth support from our allied health professionals to make lifestyle changes that are realistic and right for them, but also have access to online education that helps them understand why and how these strategies improve the health of their brain and mind,” he said.

“The program aims to give participants knowledge and strategies that they can use now and for life to proactively support their mental wellbeing,” he said.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Funky fun at Bombetta

By Trevor Pepys Bombetta, Noosa Junction, reviewed by Trevor Pepys A long, long time ago, two crazy Frenchmen rolled into Noosa, separately but around the same time, and in between skinny-dipping on the sandy beaches of the outer bays and sipping caf¨¦ noirs while they beat the best at chess, they cooked up a storm and turned our taste buds on their heads.

I’m sure you’ll read more about of these fine fellows in issues of the paper to come, but today Trevor wants to reference the culinary legacy of Luc Turschwell, which, in addition to great memories of Luc-flavoured festivities at such establishments as Belmondo’s, Gaston, Caf¨¦ Le Monde and La Sabbia, and the old fellow’s ongoing cooking classes, includes the skills of son Pascal, seen around town for a couple of decades now and until recently at Gaston II and currently at Bombetta in Noosa Junction.

To say the pomme didn’t fall far from the tree (one of Trev’s fave expressions of the moment) is an understatement, for Pascal has long shown a penchant for combining his old man’s savoir faire with a bit of his own je ne sais quoi. (And if you’re finding Trev’s franglaise un peu nause¨¦, I’ll stop it right here.)

While Pascal’s Gaston was a bit like a Parisian bistro without the attitude, Bombetta veers more towards the eclectic/eccentric d¨¦cor of some of Trev’s most-favoured hangouts. The original Heteroclito on the ocean steps at Guethary in the French Basque coun-

Pork Bombetta.

try springs to mind, a fabulously loony caf¨¦ and wine bar where Trev would arrive early to grab the most comfortable seat in the house, an old barber’s chair whose sagging springs offered a soothing rectal massage every time he leaned forward to refill his glass.

With the culinary and culturally deprived Fraser Island mates in tow, Trevor and the bride recently grabbed a battered banquette table, safely to one side of the interesting ceiling-drop wine rack, and settled in for a sunset hour dinner. Bombetta styles itself as an “Italian restaurant and bar”, so naturally the accent is on pasta and pizza, but the first nice touch I noticed was a nod to the late, great Noosa restaurateur Edi Brunetti, with a vodka and Frangelico-based cocktail named in his hon-

our. Trev would have gladly raised an Edi in memory of the old rascal, but he was already quaffing a Pete’s Pure Pinot Grigio ($40), so next visit, Ed. The second thing that Trev noticed at Bombetta is that the wine list is not cheap, possibly a little Hastings Street bracket creep. However, the very good news is that there is a limited but excellent $60 dinner special, just as there used to be at Gaston, which includes two mains and a bottle of wine. So even at Trev’s gargantuan guzzle rate, with an extra bottle of Pete’s Pure, you can eat and drink well for $50 a head, and that’s a steal in Noosa.

Having eaten nothing but flathead for a month, the K’gari mob went big time with the blackboard special of crispy skin barramundi

($39) and the pork fennel seed and caramelized apple bombettas ($34). Mrs K’gari pronounced the barra an “original and delicious combo”, finding the pickled apple accompaniment a rare and wonderful treat. He also enjoyed the pork wrapped in prosciutto, served with tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil salad, although he thought it read better than it ate. Having sampled it while K’gari was on an old man loo break, Trev reckons he’s been on the lizards too long, and wouldn’t know a damn fine skinless sausage if it slapped him.

But at least he had the good sense to wash it all down with a good bottle of Twill & Daisy Pinot Noir Shiraz ($40) which Trev also sampled, and gives a thumbs up.

The bride and Trev shared mains off the bargain menu, her an excellent and delicate spaghetti carbonara, him a “Funky Funghi” pizza in which the earthy flavours of the mushies and the truffle oil complemented each other perfectly. For desserts, we all split a tiramisu ($15 and awesome) and an orange and almond torte with mascarpone ($16 and not far behind).

Trev went to the kitchen to thank the host, but Pascal was out delivering. Just like the old bloke, not afraid of hard work.

The verdict: funky and fun, great service and, if you stick to the special menu, one of the best value feeds in town.

SOCIAL SCENE

Live music back in swing Live music is back in swing for students and their families at St Andrew’s Anglican College.

As music at St Andrew’s did at the start of the pandemic with its viral online video of Feeling Good, the Peregian Springs based school continues to set the bar for how to lead in the music education and performance space both outside and during a pandemic.

Music students were able to perform their first live concert, ‘Sounds of Swing’ on Saturday 22 August since COVID restrictions began, with a fantastic afternoon of Jazz and Swing in a miniature festival-style open-air event on the lawn.

However as is the theme for 2020, planning and organising the event didn’t come without it’s challenges.

After months of approaching the event with trepidation, Jazz Orchestra director Mr Andrew Eunson was determined to make the event happen.

“The whole COVID-19 Pandemic has really made me think about the things that are important in life - both in the education space but also for humanity,” Mr Eunson said.

“Music is so important - it really does tie people together and break down barriers. The pandemic is a massive barrier to life at the moment.

“Yes, this event took so much time and effort to organise but community connectedness is a major priority for our College and within our community, as is performing music for live audiences.”

The popular annual event, which is typically held inside the College’s Learning Hub with a ‘Live Jazz Club’ feel, was moved outside to enable a larger space for social distancing requirements and many other considerations including limiting the number of patrons to comply with current restrictions to keep the community safe.

“Sounds of Swing was an event that has given the Jazz students at St Andrew’s a major goal to prepare for, amongst all that has been going on in the world. It also forms part of a crucial part of the music education journey an opportunity to present to a live audience,” Mr Eunson said.

“As the event drew closer, we have had to be wary of the social climate and appetite both here in Queensland but also more broadly in our Southern States. We held off until the first week of August to make a call to move ahead and as we have approached with trepidation, there have been so many things to consider to ensure the event served the intended purpose for all stakeholders whilst also mitigating as much risk as possible.”

To enable the possible experience for both audience and performers, Mr Eunson and his team decided to get creative with the set-up.

They created ‘Socially Distant & Safe Circles’ for the event, painting over 50 circles for patrons to have as their household circle. Each circle with appropriate space as well as being an appropriate socially distance from the next circle.

A livestream was also set up for friends, grandparents and the extended community, which was hugely popular with over 250 live views on the day.

St Andrew’s has a large Jazz program with three stage bands operating in the school, with students as young as Year 4 beginning in the Jazz Ensemble progressing to the Jazz Orchestra, made up of 31 musicians from Years 7 to 12, who play an advanced repertoire in multiple styles.

“You will struggle to find a student band of this calibre anywhere in the state - particularly in the middle of a pandemic - a credit to the extensive online program that was in place,” Mr Eunson said.

Some highlights from the afternoon included Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York, Michael Buble’s Feeling Good, The Pink Panther (with a twist), Joe Cocker’s You Are So Beautiful, Radiohead’s Optimistic, Bobby Darrin’s Mack The Knife and many more.

The evening culminated in a performance by a massive 62 piece Big Band.

“As Music operates in a vertical capacity (i.e. groups with students in varying year levels), there is a training and mentorship component that is a critical aspect of the program,” Mr Eunson said.

It was also an opportunity to recognise Samuel Rieger (Class of 2019 and Jazz Orches-

tra member and returning alumni) for his TJ Ryan Medal, which recognises him as one of Queensland’s top students in 2019 and included a $10,000 tertiary scholarship.

Now studying at Sunshine Coast University, Samuel was also College Captain, graduating with the top OP 1 score and was a member of multiple music groups at the College.

The Queensland government only awards up to 10 TJ Ryan medals each year to support exemplary Queensland students who demonstrate academic excellence as well as outstanding leadership in their school and community.

Seniors take tea with Mayor Clare A beautiful High Tea and free entertaining activities were run across the Shire to celebrate Seniors Week and there were plenty of active, healthy seniors enjoying the events.

Mayor Clare Stewart was special guest at Wednesday’s High Tea at Noosa Community Support.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Magpie swooping season Magpies breeding season has begun across the Sunshine Coast and council has asked residents to remain tolerant of the protected native animal as they walk or ride near nests.

Natural Areas Conservation Officer Tyron de Kauwe said magpies were very clever, remembering faces in their neighbourhood.

“Magpies are pretty amazing birds and in fact only 10 per cent of breeding males will actually swoop,” Mr de Kauwe said.

“Magpies will often stay in one area for up to 20 years and can identify individuals by their facial features, even recognising all the people in their neighbourhood.

“When they walk around with their head tilted, they are actually listening for prey and are capable of hearing earthworms and larvae moving underground.

“Unlike other members of the Artamidae family, magpies walk along the ground, they do not hop.

“They are also extraordinary parents, looking after their young for up to two years.”

Mr de Kauwe reminded residents of the role they played in ensuring their own safety, as well of that of young magpies and offered the following tips for living with magpies.

“Swooping begins once the eggs are hatched and ends once the chicks have left the nest, which is about six to eight weeks,” he said.

“When you see male magpies defending their territory, they are merely defending their young.

“Don’t act aggressively towards them as they have a very long memory and this will just encourage further defensive behaviour in the future.

“Move quickly through the area but do not run, wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses or use an umbrella, dismount and walk your bike and where possible, walk in groups - or avoid the area altogether if possible.

“Most importantly though, take a moment to appreciate the complex carolling of one of Australia’s most iconic birds — the humble magpie.”

Business energy savings made easy ing one-on-one coaching, site survey, online benchmarking, workshops and webinars.

By engaging in these free services businesses have the opportunity to save on power, water and waste.

As announced in the 2018-19 State Budget, the Queensland Government will provide $3.94 million additional investment over four years in the ecoBiz program.

“Zero Emission Noosa (ZEN) welcomes all opportunities for our local businesses to reduce energy costs and therefore emissions.”

ZEN Business Leader Anne Kennedy said.

Thrilling ends to matchups A Grade Noosa 31 - University 22 A round four thriller ended the Ray White Noosa Dolphins three game winning streak. Two tries in the first half gave Uni an early lead before Will Christie hit back. Second half tries to Sam Koning and Oscar Rogers gave Noosa the upper hand until the opposition reacted with another try. A stroke of brilliance from inform number 8 Wil Rogers offered the Noosa supporters another glimpse of hope as he crossed over after a solid run from half way. But not to be, a 90 metre Uni intercept try in the last play handed the victory to the home side. Little Sister Noosa Player of the Match went to Wil Rogers.

Reserve Grade Noosa 69 - Eumundi 5 It was a historic game for the two teams from the Noosa Shire meeting each other for the first time. With an early 5 - 5 score, Noosa underestimated the Dragons before new father Dylan Maestri ran through defenders to dot down under the sticks. A second half 29 - 5 lead saw coach Grant ‘Flea’ Gleeson bring on his finishers to add on another six tries. Lincon Wikaira finally decided to trade in his new balance running shoes for proper Adidas rugby boots that delivered instant results, scoring two tries. Golden boot Ryan ‘Friz’ Frisby nailed five from five conversions, controversially giving one up from the sideline to Paddy Lalor to keep his perfect record intact.

Women Noosa 75 - University 0 After a tough trip to Caboolture last week the women were out for some redemption with University on the receiving end. The focus of the week was to move the ball to space and create mismatches. Within minutes coach Laurence Epstein’s game plan came to fruition with Jett Fairfax crossing for the first of her five tries. The forwards, led by their inspirational leader Tess Evans were able to assert their dominance to give the backs front foot ball which allowed the backs to cut the Uni defence to ribbons, resulting in a massive 75 point win.

Little Sister Noosa Player of the Match went to Jett Fairfax.

Colts Noosa 17 - University 26 Noosa took on University for the second time

this year. After Noosa were successful winners in round one, Uni came out to play and applied strong pressure in defence with some wide hard running attack. Uni scored first but Noosa replied with two tries before Uni got another in before half time. In the first set play

of the second half Noosa scored from a hard running move by Connor Chilver. University stepped up the pressure and scored two more tries to see them take the win. Best on ground points going to Remy Livingston 3, Leo Langbridge 2 and Christian Vidic 1.

Showing how it’s done: Outstanding play by Dolphins Noosa Dolphins Juniors Match Reports Under 14s An 8 o’clock kick-off on the main field at Dolphins against arch rival Maroochydore didn’t disappoint. Noosa attacked early with great clean-outs and through-the-hands passing from our backs. Inspired by Red 9 Tate McDermott’s blindside move the night before, our 9 Mack stepped right, dummied right, then went left and dived over the line to score first. We weathered good counter attacks from the “’dore“ then one got through to go to half-time one try apiece.

Noosa kept the pressure on with Flynn on song with the boot gaining great ground. Big runs from Pearl and perfect tackles from Angus got us a penalty right in front and Tommy kicked it perfectly. 8-5 the score with 10 to go.

45 seconds to go Louie got hit with a big tackle, ref didn’t notice and Maroochydore gets a penalty 10 metres out and right in front. Whistle blows and time off for medical is called. Courageous Louie is ok and escorted from the field to eat food through a straw for a while.

The boys came together, a stirring speech from the captain, ‘Don’t let them in’. Noosa held out and defended with valour, up comes Flynn with a huge tackle that holds up, his mates support, he rips the ball and goes to ground, we drive over, possess the ball and kick it out.

A fantastic win. Domino’s Pizza players of the match were Pearl and Angus.

Under 13s The Dolphins under 13s played an outstanding game. After straight wins all season, they encountered their first loss, defeated by Maroochydore 12-28. The team played another inspiring game with guts, determination and passion throughout. Our defence did an amazing job but Maroochydore were just too strong on the day. Will A took home our Domino’s Pizza player of the match.

Under 12s

By Under 12s hooker, Toby Eller Round 5 was another cracker of a day at our home grounds. The Under 12s did not disappoint once again. Thanks to the Under 14s who helped set the scene by assembling a tunnel for our team to run through on to the field. Spectators were equally impressed by the skill and teamwork that this mighty team demonstrated play after play. Two early tries scored by Maroochydore had Noosa on their heels, but the Dolphins hit back stronger than ever in the second half for another win.

The fitness of our team has been one of the key factors to this team’s success so far. Domino’s Pizza player of the match was Charlie Drew, aka Larkham.

Under 11s Both Dolphin under-11 teams, the Fins and Reds, had the rare opportunity to play each other under lights on the main Dolphin Oval last Friday night. Clapped on by the A-Grade team, the boys revelled in the experience of playing in front of a larger than normal crowd. Head coach Roger Lee stepped aside for the occasion handing over the coaching reins to injured player’s Rory Ramsden and Will Smalley. Both teams were super strong in defence hindering the regular speedsters and shutting down any ideas of a high-scoring game. Despite the fairly balanced skill level between the two teams, the Fins claimed bragging rights by a narrow margin. Domino’s players of the match were Devereux Keil for the Reds, and Kyte Braidwood for the Fins.

Under 9s The under 9s encountered a strong Brothers outfit who were well-drilled and had strong defence. This meant that the majority of tries were scored from long range from both teams due to good defence close to the rucks and mauls. We got off to a good start securing the ball well and recycling it at the breakdown resulting in some fine passing to

Under 13s players in space for tries to Callan, Sam, Riley, Will S and Jack. Our defence was enthusiastic resulting in only a few tries to the opposition.

Domino’s Pizza player of the match was Lewis Ramsden.

Under 7s The Noosa under 7s played the Maroochydore Swans at home in Round 5. Our team showed much improvement with all players getting actively involved and passing the ball to ensure all players had a run. Our two tryscoring machines, Ben and Mason, met limited resistance and went over for a number of entertaining tries. The team’s defence was

Under 13s unflappable with our team only letting in one try. Jerry and Miller scored Domino’s Pizza players of the match.

Ex-Bulls player to coach

By Randall Woodley The Sunshine Coast Cricket Association 20202021 Season will commence on Saturday September 12 with a series of T20 games to be played during the next month. And it will be an exciting start for the local cricket team, the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder with the First-Grade team playing under their new ground lights on this date. They will play a T20 match in the afternoon and then another at night. Further T20 and One Day (50 over) matches will be played up until late November when the twoday games will commence.

To ensure that the club is ready for the season, senior training has commenced already under the new coaching regime of Matt Pola, from the Seaford Club in Melbourne and Na-

than Reardon, ex-Quensland Bulls and Australian T20 player. Their experience will be a huge asset to the club and this is already showing with their energy at training and their strong views on club and training culture.

Nathan was born in Chinchilla and later, as a 13 year old moved to Gladstone. He later attended Ipswich Grammar School to pursue a career in cricket. He enjoyed a highly successful and long-standing career as a professional cricketer which ended in 2017. During these years he played 150 matches for the Queensland Bulls, Brisbane Heat, Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades. His career highlight came in late 2014 when the dynamic batsman was selected to represent his country in two T20 matches against South Africa.

Since retiring as a player, he has taken

Netballers off to state championships Noosa Netball Association is about half way through it’s adjusted season and powering along under COVID-19 restrictions.

The juniors would normally be at the championship stage of the competition beginning in March but the shutdown of sport delayed the start of the season to just after the July school holidays with the finals in October.

Association president Beverly Bullivant said they had 36 teams competing across the Shire, playing on a Thursday night instead of Saturday mornings with the seniors playing Monday nights with 30 teams.

Beverly said while the association dropped a few teams because of COVID-19 and decided not to run the canteen which had reduced their financial income but players had quickly become accustomed to introduced COVID-safe practices and they were looking forward to upcoming championships.

“We have five teams competing at the State Age Championships in Maroochydore in September so we are all pretty excited that it has got off the ground after all of the uncertainty with COVID,” she said.

Home final ripe for the picking The Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers guaranteed a top two finish and thus a home final with a comprehensive 57 point belting of fellow premiership fancies Aspley at Weyba Rd last Saturday.

Early on however the tigers didn’t get it their own way and a highly aggressive hornet outfit led the home team to the footy to lead at the main break by 9 points.From that point on it was all the flag favourites led superbly in the ruck by 2019 premiership hero Connor McDonald who amassed 37 hit outs and 29 disposals for the afternoon.His athleticism and first class delivery to his onballers just a stand out.So too the class and finishing skills of the Noosa onballers. Meredith ( 34 touches),Hutchison(28 touches),Fraser and Laskey who both had the footy over 25 times were just too classy and dominant over their Aspley counterparts.These blokes in particular just smashed the hornets in the clearances and their delivery by hand and foot a treat to watch at times.Down back Harry Maher intercepted everything in the air as he continues a stellar Covid season.Vice captain McKinnon finished with a heap of the footy particularly in the final stanza where he amassed 16 touches on the outer wing.Young Chadeau Brain showed why he is well and truly entrenched in this ti-

gers senior outfit whilst other teenagers Will Odwyer(4 goals),Mitch Langan(4 goals)Mav Pettigrove and Maccy Johnston continue to flourish and have influence on games.Mitch Langan a special mention as 4 goals and a performance like that on senior debut was really memorable.Of course Mitch the eldest son of former tiger champion Reece, who many believe including this scribe to be the best footballer to put on a tiger jumper.General manager Jack Harper kicked 2 monster set shot goals to lift the strong tiger home crowd voice and played his role perfectly as did recruit Ben Collins who bagged three and had plenty of other score involvements.All in all a terrific team effort by the top of the table tigers as they again hit our Weyba rd home ground this Saturday to play Springwood in our final home fixture game of the season.Senior game starts at 2pm.

Once again this game will be live streamed through our Facebook page with a massive thanks to cameraman Arnie,Gary ,Brett and ofcourse our guru IT person Liam Kenny for providing this medium which will only get better and better!

Good luck to all senior and junior teams representing the tigers this weekend!

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

High winds slow catches Offshore has been slower mid week due to the increasing winds. Earlier in the week and especially the weekend we had lighter westerly winds in the mornings and almost no swell! The main target have been snapper and pearl perch and we have even seen a continued smattering of pelagics too! Sunshine has smaller snapper, coral trout, sweetlip and pearl perch throughout this system. Most fish taking pilchards on lighter reef rigs and also floated down burley trails while on anchor with a gang hook. With lighter conditions bigger boats went wider to Double Island and landed bigger knobby snapper as well as cobia, amberjack, tuna and tuskies. Anglers reported catching quality fish on plastics like the Chasebaits ultimate squid as most big reefies will hammer a squid given the chance. Take a look at the purpose built jighead to suit this lure for the very best in realistic presentation.

Surf fishing saw an increase in activity with the lead up to the new moon bringing out the jewie anglers all along the coast. Good fish up to 120cm were landed on a mix of baits including mullet. Larger octopus circle hooks are great for this style of fishing and help with hooking the fish in the corner of the mouth vs gut hooking them. During the early mornings smaller tailor have been reported from the close gutters along with bream and whiting. Many of these fish are smaller so keep your combo’s as light as possible to keep it fun.

Be sure to stop in and grab some fresh beach worm as nothing beats a live worm.

In the river the queenfish are still smashing up the baitfish and getting caught. Soft plastics cast out and ripped through baitfish as well as larger 80-100mm surface stickbaits will trigger a solid bite. These fish are well known jumpers so keep rod tips under the water to keep their heads down. Other fish include flathead and bream which continue to dominate the entire lower river. You can find bream schooling alongside whiting on the flats. With the recent westerly winds the sand flats of the Frying Pan are perfect for lighter lines and rods. Look at the NS Black hole bream for flicking small surface lures. This rod is very light with a crisp action and braid friendly stainless steel guide frames. Mud crabs are also on the move. Remember the new bag limit of mud crabs and be sure to load up on our pot and float kits to save yourself some dollars.

Freshwater has seen an improvement following the gusting winds from last week. The bass are still harder to find and still spread out. This comes from their natural instinct to school before spawning which you know they can’t do in dams. The edge bite is starting to become better across Lake Mac and Borumba with the warmer weather. Small weedless frogs and plastics on smaller weedless hooks like the

Coral trout from a recent Trekka 2 charter to Sunshine Reef.

Mustad Megabite work perfectly for this. 12lb leader and 4 strand braids like Siglon X4 work best in heavy cover. Rougher braids help to cut through the weed when you hook up to a big fish and you are less likely to bust off. Be sure you have a small blade or vibe rigged up for

any deep schools and be sure to have a zx40 from Ecogear ready to go as this is a proven performer.

Covid-19 derails Dino For a young man who has charted a clear path for his budding career as an elite golfer, Covid-19 has delivered real challenges for Dino Degotardi.

Had it not been for the pandemic Dino, one of Noosa’s most promising young golf stars, would now be on campus, sharing a home with four others in the town of Greeley, and beginning his second year at the prestigious University of North Carolina.

Instead he’s home at Noosa, studying online but missing out on being part of the university’s championship-winning golf team, this year’s college golf season having already been cancelled.

Last year he was a freshman, and the only international on the 10-player squad.

“I really wanted to get a place at a Division 1 college,” Dino said. “I got a professional video made and did everything I could to show them I was serious.”

It obviously worked, and the form he showed in two college tournaments encouraged him to believe he was competitive with the best players in his conference.

Dino, who didn’t take up golf seriously until he moved from Sydney with his family in 2015 and joined Noosa Springs as a junior, plans to return to North Carolina as soon as he can, but knows that probably won’t be until next year.

He’s studying for a degree in sports management, a four-year commitment, but hopes to make a career out of golf.

“I’ll see how my golf is after the four years, then go to Q School there,” he said.

Success at the qualifying tournament would gain Dino playing rights on the US’s secondary Korn Ferry Tour, a key stepping stone to the lucrative PGA Tour.

In the meantime he’s playing regularly at Noosa Springs, where his coach is resident teaching professional Peter Heiniger. His handicap fluctuates between plus 3 and plus 4.

Last week he competed in the Pacific Harbour Amateur Open, shooting rounds of 73, 73 and 80. Despite the final round blowout, he was only five shots from the winner on a very difficult circuit.

This week’s he’s taking on the state’s best amateurs in the Queensland Amateur Championship on the Gold Coast, and he’s looking forward to contesting the Sunshine Coast Amateur Championship at Headland next month.

Cooroy champ romps in Deb Macaulay, with a 72-hole total of 335, coasted to an easy 21-stroke win in this year’s Cooroy club championship at Cooroy. Runner-up was Wendy O’Hare.

Carmel Clarke (393) was the Division 2 winner, while Terri Cairns (278) was the nett winner.

Tooman quickly finds form Noosa’s Simon Tooman shot a solid one over-par 73 to finish third in the Meadowback Pro-Am on Friday as the Legends Tour resumed from its coronavirus enforced interruption.

Tooman, a Noosa Golf Club member, was only a shot behind joint winners David Merriman and Tod Power. Yandina Creek veteran Brad Burns (74) was tied fifth, but Noosa’s Mark Tickle had an off day, shooting 86 to finish well back.

Noosa Springs Skins back There is still time to register your team for the Noosa Springs Skins on Wednesday, September 9. Once known as the Noosa Springs Wednesday Wine Down, it’s an opportunity for golfers to let their hair down, play serious golf in a very social way, and enjoy the company of their mates.

Teams of four play a skins-type stableford event with a prize of four bottles of wine on offer for the best score on each hole. If two or more teams get the same score on a hole, the prize jackpots to the next hole.

There’s a draw for $1500 worth of advertising from Southern Cross Austereo, and if anybody holes out at the 4th they’ll win a corporate membership valued at $2250.

Budding Noosa champion Dino Degotardi – hopefully back to the US next year.

The cost is $79 ($39 for members) and that includes lunch and post-game nibbles. Covid-19 regulations will be in place to ensure the safety of golfers and staff.

Pennant finals now at Caloundra This year’s zone pennant finals, originally scheduled to be played at Gympie in March, will now be played at Caloundra on Sunday, September 20.

Teams from Noosa Golf Club will compete in A grade, B grade and Masters, with play beginning at 7am.

Noosa youngsters show their skill Shane Dunning of Noosa shot 86 to be runnerup in Division 2 of the district junior amateur championships at Mt Coolum, only a stroke behind winner Shae Coghlan of Maroochy River.

Jaxon Smith beat his Noosa club-mate Miles Roxbury for Division 4 honours.

Noosa Springs’ Koa Wood was the Division 3 winner, while James McCulloch, also of Noosa Springs, won the nett trophy.

In girls’ competition, Noosa Springs’ sisters Sunday and Coco Moore were nett runners-up in Divisions 1 and 2 respectively.

Postage Stamp ends Kirk’s hopes A triple bogey six on the eighth hole, a short par three known as the Postage Stamp, ended Katherine Kirk’s faint chance of an unlikely victory in the Women’s British Open at Troon this week.

The Sunshine Beach veteran had surged into contention with a brilliant four under-par 67 in tough conditions on Saturday. And when she birdied the first hole of the final round Kirk

looked capable of making a charge.

In the end, though, she signed for a 74 to finish six over par in a share of 22nd place. The surprise winner was German Sophia Popov, the world No 308 who had never won an event on any of the major tours.

Grand final up for grabs What crazy times were are living. No-one could have predicted AFL CEO, Gill McLachlan would be spending his days in late August 2020 trying to determine where to hold the 2020 AFL Grand Final.

The flagship AFL event appears destined to be forced from its spiritual home, the MCG Queensland and WA are lobbying hard for the showpiece event as the AFL remain tightlipped about the structure and date of this year’s GF. McLachlan has said an announcement would be made this week.

In addition to hosting the Grand Final at the Gabba, Queensland has also made a strong bid to host the Brownlow Medal event.

So look into your crystal ball and tell, by the end of the week will....the Gabba be hosting the AFL Grand Final? Is the Brownlow knees up headed for Bris-Vegas or the Gold Coast?

Will Jeff Horn or Tim Tszyu be the toast of Townsville after the Rumble on the Reef?

Will the Broncos hierarchy have a case to answer over Pangai Jnr’s third party agreements (messy)?

Will Cam Smith announce it’s time to call time on his illustrious career? Has he had an epiphany and decided to become a Bronco or a Titan?

So many questions so few answers.

We do now know Anthony Seibold’s days as coach of the Broncos are done. As Seibs gallops out the door with the cash, there goes an experiment that didn’t work - now it is time to move forward. No crystal ball needed to see that.

Casey

ME FIRST - NO I’M FIRST Boxing can be a brutal sport and, as the current edition of Spin is being finalised, preparations are in full swing for the Jeff Horn Tim Tszyu bout in Townsville on Wednesday night. As you settle down to read this edition of Noosa Today we will know who is the toast of Townsville and the winner of the Rumble on the Reef.

It has been an unusual lead up in many ways. There has been none of the typical trash talking that usually precedes such an event.

Each camp has thrown a few barbs but in the main the lead-up has been extremely civilised. However, at this point (only a little over a day away from the event) there is one impasse - who enters the ring first.

It’s a bit like the joke Abbott and Costello skit “Who’s on first”.

Apparently both parties are being very polite about it but neither is taking a backward step.

One is a former world Champion, the other says he holds more current belts.

It might be that this is a bit of gamesmanship on the part of the promoters with co-promoters Dean Lonergan and Matt Rose delaying making the decision.

Tszyu says he doesn’t care but accuses Horn of being a sook. Horn says he believes he has done more in the sport than his opponent having already won most of the belts that Tzu brings to the table. It all sounds like a bit of schoolyard squabble.

Horn’s manager Glen Rushton says he has never seen his man so hungry for a win.

Despite his previous successes, Horn is the under-dog in the betting market. He has been under-estimated by opponents and punters before and that has proved a costly error.

His opponent this time is Tim Tszyu, the son of Australian Boxing royalty.

Glen Jennings, Tszyu’s manager on the other hand says beware the young fella. He may not have Horn’s battle experience but he might be the best shot.

Compared to some of the pre-fight shenanigans we have seen over the years, it is all pretty tame. For once the protagonists seem happy to let their punches do the talking in the ring.

Really does it matter who enters the ring

It is black and white - Noosa Tigers are hunting for back to back premierships. They moved one step closer to their ultimate goal with a win over the Hornets in Round seven.

Pictures: CRAIG SLANEY first or who follows?

Personally, I think it’s probably more important who leaves the ring first in Townsville.

That will be the most telling journey. Last to exit the ring usually has the winner’s purse safely in his keeping.

(Maybe Horn by an eyebrow).

TIGERS SHOWING THEIR CLASS The Noosa Tigers moved a step closer in the hunt for back to back premiership wins in the Hart Sports Cup last week with a comprehensive 57-point win over the Aspley Hornets. The win guarantees the Tigers at least a top two finish and an all-important home final.

The winning margin however is no indication of the early stages of the game which saw a spirited first half performance from an aggressive Hornets team.

The Hornets were able to lead the home side 3-0-(18) to 1-3-(9) at the end of the first quarter. Aspley’s goals coming from Andrews, Brighouse and Chapman. Langan the only Tiger able to convert a kick into major points.

The Tigers started the second quarter on the front foot. Langan kicked his second just over a minute into the half and the Tigers were on the move. Will O’Dwyer scored the next major for the Tigers and they skipped away to a four-point lead.

The Hornets came back with their only goal of the quarter before the flag favourites began to dominate, led superbly in the ruck by 2019 premiership hero Connor McDonald who amassed 37 hit outs and 29 disposals for the afternoon.

It was a terrific performance from McDonald. His skills were on display providing first class delivery to his onballers. The finishing skills and quality of the Noosa on-ballers was also a standout, Meredith (34 touches), Hutchison (28 touches). Fraser and Laskey proved too classy and too dominant. Both had the footy more than 25 times and were just too classy and dominant over their Aspley counterparts for the opposition. Harry Maher intercepted everything in the air as he continues a stellar Covid season.

At the main break Noosa had a 15-point buffer over the Hornets and looked in fullcontrol.

The third quarter saw an onslaught of goals from the Tigers. The Hornets looked outclassed and managed only one goal off the boot of Jackson.

The home side went into the last quarter

holding a commanding 1-11-(83) - 7-2-(44) lead. In the final quarter the Hornets managed a further two goals but Pettigrove. Hutchinson joined Harper and O’Dwyer kicking goals in the final quarter leaving not a great deal of sting in the tail of the Hornets. Final score 1611-(107) to 9-4-(58).

Tigers vice-captain McCrimmon finished with a heap of the footy particularly in the final stanza where he amassed 16 touches on the outer wing. Young Shadeau Brain showed why he is well and truly entrenched in this Tigers senior outfit. Teenagers Will O’Dwyer (four goals), Mitch Langan (four goals) Mav Pettigrove and Mac Johnston continue to flourish and leave their mark on games. Special mention to Mitch Langan. Four goals and a standout performance on debut in senior ranks was really memorable.

Mitch Langan comes from excellent stock, the eldest son of former Tiger champion Reece who many believe to be the best footballer to put on a Tiger jumper. Jack Harper kicked two monster set goals and got the strong home crowd into the game. Ben Collins also bagged three and had plenty of involvement. All in all it was a great team performance.

This week the Tigers are back at Weyba Road for their final home ground fixture game against Springwood. The game kicks off at 2pm.

ALL MASKED UP The Aussie cricketers weren’t all padded up this week, but they were masked-up as they boarded their flight to England for the upcoming Limited Overs series.

The cricketers are the first Australian sporting team to travel overseas since the Covid-19 Pandemic began in March.

The full squad, coaching and support staff gathered in Perth, boarding a charter flight direct to East Midlands. As you would expect this will be a very different tour.

When they arrive, they will spend several days in isolation at a hotel facility attached to the Derby cricket ground.

The Australian playing group is larger than in recent tours. This is because in the event of injury they will be unable to call anyone into the touring party.

While the group is in isolation they will be permitted to train and needed to ensure they had enough players to play several inter squad T20 and 50 Over warm-up games during the isolation period.

Harry Maher has eyes only for the ball. The youngster was dominant again against the Hornets.

The Aussie team has not played since 13 March when the Australia NZ ODI series was abandoned.

Coach Justin Langer says despite this, the group is very fit and has covered plenty of technical work but need match practice.

After their isolation in Derby, they will play the three T20 games at the Rose Bowl while remaining in the bio-secure hub at Southampton.

That will be followed by three ODI games at Old Trafford, Manchester against England, the current World Champions.

Prior to leaving Sydney Steve Smith said it would be unusual playing without the usual banter from the Pommie crowds which he used as motivation during the last Ashes Series.

Skipper Aaron Finch, revealed a sports psychologist will be travelling with the team.

They, along with the Coach and officials will be paying close attention to mental health aspect of the playing group while they are inside the bio-secure bubble.

Dolphins are class act The Eumundi Dragons Reserve Grade Rugby Union team took on the might of the top of the table Noosa Dolphins at the University fields in Chancellor Park last Saturday.

The game started well for the Eumundi team with Max Moise crossing the try line for a well-deserved try. This set the Dolphins team back on their heels and forced them to regroup before a good-sized crowd of supporters from the two clubs.

As the game unfolded the depth of experience in the Noosa outfit began to show.

By the end of the game, the Dolphins ran

out winners 69-5 but had to work hard for all of these points. The players from Eumundi did not throw in the towel and remained full of spirit right to the full-time whistle.

In a show of good sportsmanship coaching staff and officials from the Noosa club congratulated the Eumundi team for putting up such a good performance after only coming together a couple of months ago.

U8 Match Report by Team Manager Jero Mansell The Eumundi Dragons U8’s had a great game against a Swans team that was full of

running. The team enjoyed themselves in the sun at Gympie with some impressive tackling from hard hitters, Finn and Quill, ably helped

by Zach, Tristan and CJ. The whole team enjoyed some ball time on attack with Henry and Jack making some excellent breaks and some notable fends put on the Swans team. Congratulations to Zach for earning player of the day on the back of a top effort throughout the game. Well done Dragons!!

U11 Match Report by Team Manager Pamela Campbell-Jones

The U11 Dragons took on Brothers at Gympie on the weekend, in a fast-paced match. It was a good clean game of running rugby, as both teams scored tries and made conversions. The Dragons scrum was as impressive as ever with strong drives, turning the ball over.

A few too many missed tackles saw Brothers take home the win, but the Dragons can certainly be proud of their efforts.

Jett Herbert was awarded Best Team Mate for an impressive display for the entire game, and some spectacular tackles to boot.

The Gift is on the Board ATHLETICS It is that time of year again when hopefully, we will have the opportunity to welcome to the Girraween Sporting Complex, the athletic clans of Queensland and Northern NSW. The reason for this will be to see them participate in one of Queensland richest athletic carnival, the Noosa Gift.

For the Noosa Gift, pencilled in for Saturday 21 November 2020, it will be the eleventh year of competition. Unfortunately for the first time ever, the organisers could have to face the possibility of boarder restriction: however, with a time span of some three months to the hopedfor date, the possibility of the easing of restrictions could occur.

Speaking with Head Coach Mick Hooper, he sounded very positive. “This is always a great carnival with top class competition and there has always been a good number of athletes from interstate. One thing I would like to do is to thank all our major sponsors for their loyalty in standing by us in these tough times. It is not just for the Noosa Gift but also Noosa Little Athletics Club.”

For the Noosa Little Athletics, their first competition season will start on Friday night 11 September at the Girraween Sporting Complex. “This year we will be doing things a bit different. This evening will also be a “Come and Try Out,” for the new kids and also our sign on night for the parents: if the new ones are happy, they can also take the time to sign on.”

Since arriving in Noosa in 2004, athletics, in our community has for Head Coach Mick Hooper and wife Val, certainly become a way of life. Apart from club duties, Val is now in her fifth year as a member of the Queensland Board for Little Athletics. Last year in recognition for their service and loyalty both were awarded Life Membership of Noosa Little Athletics: a very high and justly deserved honour.

NETBALL For the ladies of the Noosa Netball Association, situated out on McKinnon Drive Tewantin, the season has definitely had its ups and downs. “For us like many other sports,” said club President Beverly Bullivant, “the outbreak of the COVID19 hit us with a few problems: the major one being having to walk away from our Saturday games. Because of this we dropped about ten teams.” However, the club has stayed positive and kept planning. “All being well by March of next year (2021) we will be back to Saturday games.”

Now the State Championships, a five- day event originally planned for July, will take place during the school holidays, at the end of September and happy to say we will have five teams competing in the 12,13 and 14 age groups. However, the ladies- indoor competition was very successful with Monday night games being held at the Leisure Centre, with young ladies from 14 years up, taking part.

GYMNASTICS Hey Noosa, how many of you have ever heard the names Finlay Jones, Dean Chandler, Kyle Cortner, or Monique Blackmore. I would say at a guess-not many.It is sad but true because these young local people, in their chosen sport, are amongst the finest that Australia has to offer: and their chosen one is the sport of Gymnastics. And their club is the Gymnastics Club at Cooroy.

Situated in the Cooroy Sporting Complex and nestled between the playing fields of the Soccer club and the Possums Rugby League Club, you will find the Cooroy Gymnastic Club. Formed in 1988, when a group of eighteen business houses and private citizens got together, and through their combined efforts, formed the above-named club. Originally located in another area, it was in 1995 shifted to its present location and since then never looked back.

When talking with men’s coach Craig Jones, the pride in achievement comes across loud and clear. “We have a great club: very good committee, great coaching panel and very supportive parents. I think that when you look around, you will see from the achievements of

Dean Chandler on the vault

Little Athletics

Dean Chandler on the rings

Finlay Jones

Finlay Jones on the bars

our athlete, right through from club level to national, that it has all been worthwhile.”

The above-named gymnasts are just a few that has helped bring respect to the club. The gym is well equipped and laid out, with something in the vicinity of $3-400,000,of gear: under the supervision of Coaching Co-ordinator Laura Bell-Weeks all training programs (under the coaching panel of 10 male and female) are properly supervised. At present there is a club membership of 347 male and female, ranging from 2-18 yrs.: training is Saturday 8am -3.15, then week days, morning sessions for U/5s, are from 9am—9.45, then 3.30—7.15pm every night, for the older members. The morning session (known as Kinder) is to give the little ones a short session to introduce them to gym life.

However, with all the time, effort and achievements some at national level, it is indeed hard to conceive the lack of sponsorship.

The average person is unaware of the opportunities available to some of the elite. It is not uncommon for senior elite to receive scholarships to private colleges: then there is always the Olympics. At this great Cooroy club anything is possible. We wish them well.

AMATEUR BOXING It was in the year 2005, that Mark Evans built the small shed at the back of his home amongst

the gum trees, opened the doors and continued his journey down the road of amateur boxing. Then, in 2018 when Kevin Smith, head coach of Boxing Australia, visited this small gym he found it hard to understand that this was indeed, the top amateur boxing club in Australia. “I entered and standing next to the ring ,I had the answer: you could just feel the energy. Despite the fact that the club was disciplined, the atmosphere in the club was fantastic: everyone was working out, going hard and away from the ring, leaning up against the walls, a small group of parents looked on.” Impact Boxing Academy had achieved its goal.

When it came time to pick a name, Mark chose Impact Boxing Academy because as he said, “I wanted to create a club that would make an impact within our community: an impact not just by teaching self-defence but also, self-discipline, good manners and above all respect for others. Then there was the club motto, that was easy: Working in the Community for the Community.” Now after all the years and hard work, the gym will be shifting from its home amongst the gum trees off Blueberry Drive, into the township of Cooroy: all being well, in mid-September. After 15 yrs. in the bush we are all very excited about the new premises. During those years, the community

support has been fantastic and I can’t thank them enough” In the mean time the gym has, after an eight-- week shut down, reopened: under very strict government regulations, some twenty club members are training, 4.30-7 pm each night. “On August 15 a tournament was held in Brisbane: boxing again under strict control. There was a total of twenty-two bouts, no spectators, just the coaches and trainers: it was a case of fight and leave. Very strange, but it worked,” said Mark.

Once again, the support of our community for their various sporting organisations, has been noted and publicly acknowledged by the coaches and administrators. It is this attitude that will no doubt see us through these tough times.

PICKLEBALL With a further push to promote this great new game, the Noosa Tennis Club with the support of the Noosa Pickleball Club, will host a Tennis Players vs Pickleball Players Come and Try afternoon at the Noosa Tennis Club on Friday 11 September from 4.30-9pm.This is a free night for all and open invitation for people interested. The bar will be open and a barbecue and nibbles will be available: a fun night for all players is assured. “Family Friendly and Fun to Play.” A new sport that is growing fast.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Dreams, waves are free As this weird and not so wonderful winter of the pandemic winds down, surfboard sales continue to fly high but the surf travel sector is struggling and will continue to do so while restrictions on overseas travel remain in place.

But necessity is the mother of invention, and while perfect waves have gone unridden from the Mentawais to the Maldives and beyond, some long-time “secret spots” within the state borders are back on the radar big time.

While surfers in the know have known about the Swains Reef passes off Central Queensland for a generation now, since the seasons that a young Gary “Kong” Elkerton would crew on his dad’s fishing boat with his trusty Mt Woodgee stick stowed down below ready for the evening glass-off, when I spoke to World Surfaris boss John Finlay this week, he was less than enthusiastic about Swains as a reachable alternative to Sultans or Kandui.

Of course John might have been foxing, saving Swains for a select client list, but word on the vine is that two pilot surf exploration trips recently with crack Indo surf skipper Jody Perry along as guide turned up plenty of fish but not much clean surf. It was ever thus. I went out there on a fishing trip many years ago and never saw a rideable wave, but I was also floating around Tavarua in the ‘70s in the right season and never saw the reefs we now know as Cloudbreak and Restaurants fire. Or maybe it was the angle of the view.

And don’t even talk to me about Middleton Reef on the Lord Howe Rise, a perfect horseshoe with almost makeable zippers around the perimeter, stuck there for five days on a fishing mission with plenty of bait and booze but no boards.

Finally, on the subject of surf dreams that must remain so, my invitation to last weekend’s media famil at the Surf Lakes R & D centre between Rocky and Yeppoon must have been lost in the mail. I could have sworn that at the last meeting of the Secret Society of Former Tracks Editors, one of our number who has gone to the dark side and now labours in public relations, promised me a go-out next time the coffee plunger wave maker was open to the privileged few.

There must have been some mistake. Does not Australia’s best regional newspaper qualify as “media”, or is that word code for “mates”?

Which I thought we were anyway, but there needs to be some butt-kissing. With a photo of Surf Lakes ambassador Mark Occhilupo cruising into his zillionth wave pool murky barrel while Noosa Today’s surfing columnist remains barren, I rest my case.

Go Fitzy Last weekend in the Sydney Morning Herald former rugbyman and republican Peter Fitzsimons gave former tennis star Pat Cash both barrels for his incessant and ignorant peddling of conspiracy theories about Covid-19 and everything else. Apart from letting Queenie be someone else’s sovereign, I don’t agree with Fitzy that often, and this has nothing to do with the fact that the sales of his historical fantasies have quite a few more noughts on them than mine do, but on this we concur absolutely.

Fitzy thrashed Cash for using his fame as a sports star to assume the posture of global expert on pandemics and the treatments thereof, of warning people off vaccines and accusing Bill Gates of seeking world dominance for chucking a few billion at saving lives across the third world. Cash pukes this stuff out of his social media platforms incessantly with the certainty of the totally uninformed, and Fitzy was right to put him in his place. Everyone is entitled to express an opinion, but when an influencer of considerable clout uses that power to peddle dangerous nonsense, it deserves to be called out.

Unfortunately, Pat the Prat is not alone in using his master’s degree in temporary sports stardom to educate the masses on epidemiology and other subjects you might bone up on while waiting out a Wimbledon rain break.

Occy in the slot at Surf Lakes.

Lonely reefy at Swains.

Surfing has its own professors of profound piffle who equate their ability to free-fall down the face with a lifetime’s study of molecular structure , and the like.

Such delusions of adequacy in these com-

plex areas are often compounded by months and years of watching swell patterns on remote peninsulas, accompanied by frequent topping up on conspiracy theorist internet threads. I’m sure this is all good clean fun, but do you really

need to share your fear and ignorance? Just enjoy it as a solitary pleasure and wonder when the world will finally awaken to your profound wisdom and guidance.

I’m talking to you, Jimmy!

How long will these conditions last?

“We are in a privileged position to communicate daily with people who are at the top of their game, including business leaders, economists, and highly informed and successful individuals. People in the know, and people whose opinions must be respected.

“They are clearly divided in their opinions about the future of Noosa real estate. Many of them live in capital cities and their views reflect the thoughts of people around them, so listening to them makes sense.

“Some are telling us that we are at the beginning of a significant and lasting shift in where people want to live and work from home or retire, and that this shift will last for years to come and produce significant impacts and demands on our residential real estate.

“Others are fearful that the financial implications of the pandemic will start manifesting themselves into the real estate markets Australia wide.

“With the exception of Queensland and some pockets of coastal lifestyle destinations in other states, Australian real estate markets are softening, and they believe that like the tide carries all ships that Noosa with its high proportion of discretionary property - non-principal place of residence - that it has great exposure to the damaged economy.

“Our take on this is that nobody knows for sure. Our view is that despite whatever happens elsewhere, Noosa is one of the most special places on earth and will continue to attract people who will settle for nothing less than an exceptional lifestyle and glorious weather.

“Real estate is a long-term investment that you can invest in with confidence.’’

PRESENTATION CAN BRING RETURNS Imika Neylan of Dowling Neylan is reporting a good response to 4/106 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, due to go to auction on Saturday, 5 September at 1pm.

The renovated two-bedroom, twobathroom waterfront townhouse had seen about 50 combined inspections and inquiries to last weekend. This included several facetime inspections and three offers.

“There have been plenty of inquiries from the southern states as well as Brisbane,’’ Imika said. “Even some people who are staying in Noosa until the end of the year.

“Technology is allowing this happen … people are realising they can live here and work from home.

“This is a small complex when compared to some others, that’s why people love it.

And you can have a boat moored on the sandbank.

“Anything on the Sound is in demand.

Apartments are receiving huge traffic and houses are selling off market.

“A lot of Brisbane people are coming up and looking at investment. There is strong demand for good quality accommodation in Noosa.

“Presentation of properties brings good returns. Every apartment I’ve seen with quality renovations, the outlay comes back to you.’’

IT is no secret that the Noosa real estate market has been strong.

Tom Offermann Real Estate is reporting their auction clearance rates have been in excess of 90 per cent with large numbers of bidders often driving prices well beyond the reserves.

“Sales volumes for our company have been double the normal rate with many properties selling to waiting buyers before the first ad is published,’’ Tom Offermann said.

“In the past month we sold nine properties in excess of $5million, mostly on Noosa Sound and Sunshine Beach plus one on Sunrise Road, Tinbeerwah.

“Increased activity is being driven by buyers investing in recreational properties in lieu of their usual holidays overseas, and also people having made the decision to leave large population centres and enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle with less risk of

YOUNG BUYERS SHOWING ENTHUSIASM Sharon McLure of Laguna Real Estate is expecting a good turn-out Saturday for the auction of 9 Harmony Ct, Cooroibah, at midday.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house is on 0.43ha as has parking for four vehicles.

“The younger buyers are enthusiastic about the auction,’’ Sharon said. “They are all local buyers.

“Some have missed out on other properties.

“For an entry-level property it presents a good opportunity for first home buyers.’’

Sharon has also had a good initial response to the forthcoming auction of 10 Mariners View, 148 Noosa Pde, Noosaville.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse apartment is in a small block and renovated to a high standard.

“They have completely changed the floorplan from a two-bed, one-bath to a twobed, two-plus bath.

“There is new ducted air-conditioning throughout, new carpet upstairs and new flooring downstairs.

“It has two balconies and two courtyards, so it is good separation of space.’’

LATE INTEREST IN NEW TOWNHOUSES David Garwood of Garwoods Estate Agents had nine registered bidders and a late-comer at 1 and 2/19 Ann Street, Noosaville, on Saturday for the auction of the two three-bedroom townhouses.

The new duplex townhouses each offered two bathrooms, two-car garaging and pools.

House 1 saw bidding from $1.050m to $1.160m and subsequently increased to $1.180m.

House 2 saw auctioneer Gordon Macdonald look for a start at $1.150m which prompted a late registration from one party and a final look-through by another.

Yet it was up to David to continue with post auction negotiations and by Sunday evening he had three contracts issued, two totally fresh buyers with inspections booked for Monday, and an offer going to paper on the same day.

Hastings street location to 35 Noosa Drive, situated beside the Reef Hotel on Noosa Hill.

Agency principal Francene Storie and her partner Stephen Gage have always liked the site due to its visible street presence.

The shopfront has been a real estate agency for many years.

In fact Francene’s uncle Ken Guy had one of his Ken Guy offices at that site for more than 20 years.

“When the leasing agent mentioned an option which had just become available, we couldn’t believe our luck,’’ Francene said.

“It was like it was meant to be!”

Returning to the Zinc Properties Noosa fold will be Coen Oort along with Karen Harman, who started the brand 20 years ago.

“With Karen’s record Noosa price for Seaview Terrace, and Stephen and I achieving two of the highest apartment sales in Sunshine Beach this year to date, we will be a strong but small sales team,’’ Francene said.

Zinc will continue to manage boutique holidays homes and apartments and have brought on board new property manager Lynne Delany who owned Noosa boutique apartments until recently.

Lynne has already had great feedback from guests about the new site, especially the ease to collect and return keys.

RISING TO THE CHALLENGE The first half of 2020 has presented some challenging times yet Laguna Real Estate principal Olivier Miller has predicted the Noosa property market will come out of it well.

Speaking at the real estate group’s half-yearly awards breakfast, Olivier congratulated everyone from the four Laguna offices – Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Tewantin and Gympie – on how they rose to the challenge of Covid-19.

In doing so, she welcomed several new members to the team.

These include sales representatives Anita Nichols and Sharon McLure at Noosa, Jack Jackson and Les Miller at Tewantin.

“We have had challenging times … it’s been unprecedented with managing a business.

“We would have to be in the best place in the world. We should come out of this pretty well.’’

Olivier congratulated everyone in the team on the agency being a finalist in the Real Estate Business (REB) Awards and

SALE ON TEAK ARMCHAIRS NOW $175

while not taking out a major prize on a national level it was pretty special for an agency based in Noosa to be recognised in such a way.

Laguna did get six nominations for the REIQ Awards For Excellence 2020 and win the major category of Large Residential Agency of the Year as well as Regional Salesperson of the Year – Jonathon Merton of the Gympie office.

“The highlight for me is the team.

Laguna has a long, long history.

“The business was established in 1978 from a caravan on Noosa Sound.

“You could buy on the waterfront then for $18,000. This month a house sold for $9m.

“Laguna has been on Noosa Pde for more than 40 years. We opened Noosaville 20 years ago and since then have followed with Gympie and Tewantin.

“Property management is a huge part of the business but a huge challenge due to Covid-19.

“It’s a tough business but we are doing well.’’

Sales performance awards went to Melanie Butcher, highest commission, Noosaville; Warren Evans, Tewantin; and Rob Nimmo, Gympie.

The rising star award went to Jonathon Merton, from the Gympie office.

HEART OF CLASS WHITE HOUSE, BY RIVER EVERYTHING about the much-admired White House in a whisper quiet cul-desac with Noosa River on its doorstep, is captivating. And, what’s not to love about a contemporary albeit glamorous style without compromising numerous retro features.

The heart of class begins at the front verandah and statement entrance foyer, which flows to a very generous lounge room. Admire the solid oak flooring, high coffered ceilings, architraves, wood-burning fireplace, custom cabinetry, and beautiful French doors which open to a verandah on the poolside.

The dining room has conservatory-style ceiling and windows, cool tiled flooring and adding a sense of theatre centre stage, is a stupendous chandelier.

Retro rocks in the Shaker-style black kitchen with pressed metal ceiling, Falcon gas stove, double butler’s sink, custommade niches, walk-in pantry, and stonetopped island bench/breakfast bar.

What a lush oasis awaits sunseekers, entertainers and families in the northwesterly back garden. There is a nod

to Palm Springs with manicured low maintenance plantings, decks, espaliered glass fencing, a fantastic giant palm, and an outdoor room with storeroom and fireplace.

In the north wing is one of three masterstyle bedrooms, each with an ensuite and coffered VJ-profile ceilings. There is an oval bathtub, walk-in robe, and double vanities in the first suite. Next door is a powder room and with access from the foyer or front verandah is an office.

Upstairs, one master suite has a supersize ensuite and the other has a walk-in robe and opens to a balcony with river views. There’s also nickel tap ware, and Noce and Bottocino marble mosaic tiles in the ensuites.

“This distinctively year-round cool, timeless classic is unlike anything else, the White House is rich in character and appeal,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tiffany Wilson, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 12 September 2020.

“The coveted location, 40 metres to the Noosa River foreshore, is much sought-

after as evidenced by extraordinary building activity in the neighbourhood.

“Swim in the river, fish from a jetty, kayak, paddle board or go boating. Walk to Gympie Terrace with its bevy of cafes,

bars and boutiques, Noosa Marina, Noosa Library, and the Noosa Leisure Centre.

Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park are a short drive away.” ●

ON THE COVER

THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION OF MODERN LUXURY, EXCELLENT FUNCTIONALITY AND MINIMAL MAINTENANCE THIS world class, luxurious urban residence has been built to the highest standard & would be at home in the most affluent city suburbs yet enjoys a relaxed riverfront lifestyle. Immaculately presented as new, it is easy to get lost in the attention to detail. Architectural and style references to the 1960s are evident throughout the home with craftsmanship that will exceed the expectations of the most discerning buyer.

Throughout the ground levels polished French limestone contrasts against Italian Carrera marble counter tops while the extensive use of bespoke cabinetry softens these features with a timber finish. As expected, the kitchen is complimented by a full suite of integrated Miele appliances.

With limestone underfoot, the entertainers alfresco looks out upon the lush tropical gardens and pool area. Above, rich old growth Burmese Teak ceilings are surrounded by dramatic full-length drapes allowing the creation of an external room with romantic filtered light. Established tropical gardens create privacy around the completely tiled pool.

Four king size bedrooms are all appointed with walls of built in cabinetry, while two offer full size ensuites both with Kaldewei free standing baths, Villeroy & Boch bathroom wear, teak wall highlights and limestone flooring. Private balconies pick up river or pool views while the media room or forth bedroom includes a wet bar.

Other quality inclusions are electric sheer and block-out curtains, security shutters to external entrances & much more. A private two car garage leads to an extensive under house storage area.

A case of function meets form, elegant useability is the core philosophy of the home which is noticeable as you move effortlessly between the different zones.

Located only footsteps from the Noosa riverfront restaurants and cafes, this home is the ultimate combination of modern luxury, excellent functionality and minimal maintenance built to a standard like no other. â—?

Momentum Prevails Strong Market Results for Reed & Co. Clients As we move into the second half of 2020, the initial impact of COVID19 has subsided within the Noosa property market. Uncertainty as a result of the health crisis has created a marketplace with historically low stock levels forcing a sense of scarcity and lack of choice for buyers. Despite the nation’s economic challenges, Noosa’s property market has performed well across the board. Reed & Co. have been able to transact with interstate and international buyers remotely with over $22m of property being sold sight unseen via virtual inspections over May and June, re-shaping the way we conduct business. Reed and Co continues to build momentum selling over $60M from April to August an increase of 57% vs the same time last year. An industry leading approach to proactive digital marketing has allowed Reed & Co agents to provide their sellers with strong sale results despite the changing market conditions, proving that if you choose carefully it is a great time to sell.
