Show John a little compassion He went to Sydney to get specialist treatment for a cancer but has since been told its terminal.

John Bowie wants to spend his final days at home - but the Queensland government has knocked back his request to be exempt from hotel quarantine.

Dressed in yellow, just like the bike he rode frequently along Noosa Parade to the beach, 50 of his friends gathered together at Main Beach to protest the lack of compassion.

Survival stance

By Phil Jarratt While many of Australia’s leading universities are in grave financial strife as Covid-19 tears apart the international student market, the man responsible for making University of Sunshine Coast a significant player in what is now Australia’s third biggest export industry, says that an overdue trimming of the fat from administrative ranks as part of an early and fast response to the pandemic, is helping save USC. Professor Robert Elliot, who joined USC as foundation Dean of Arts when the university college began with a few hundred students a quarter of a century ago, retired last month as its longest serving senior executive. In an exclusive, wide-ranging and forthright interview with Noosa Today, Professor Elliot reflected on

his role in securing USC a piece of the pie during the rise of Australia’s now-endangered $30 billion international education industry over the past two decades, and his more recent role as acting Vice Chancellor during the Covid crisis in helping secure the university’s future.

Somewhat surprisingly, Professor Elliot supports the Federal Government’s exemption of the university sector from JobKeeper support. “In my view USC was top-heavy, with too high a proportion of administrative staff relative to academic. Covid forced us to address these problems, and I’m sure that would be the case for other Australian universities. I think that for many there was a lot of fat in the system, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable of the Commonwealth to be asking the sector to be finding savings on their own behalf. USC has gone through the process of voluntary redun-

dancies and some forced ones, and that will probably continue.”

In March this year, in addition to his role as Pro Vice-Chancellor International, Professor Elliot was asked to step in as acting ViceChancellor following the retirement of Professor Greg Hill, just as the grim realities of the coronavirus hit home. He says: “In second semester this year we recruited zero students from offshore. In a normal year we would have recruited around 700 commencing students from offshore, and each of those would have been paying between $10,000 and $15,000 for that one-semester experience, depending on what they were studying.”

Faced with an immediate deficit of $7 million to $10 million, Professor Elliot and USC chief financial officer Elizabeth Cannon set up a pandemic response group to first deal with

the lockdown issues, then address the financial impact. Within six weeks they had implemented a package of cost-cutting measures and budget targets designed to ensure USC’s survival.

Early in his distinguished career, Robert Elliot wrote a fascinating thesis and then a book called Faking Nature, which explored the ethics of ecological restoration, often a leave pass for companies to destroy a natural environment. Now, as he heads into retirement, he says he plans to do some of his own faking of nature, revegetating a hinterland acreage.

But he’ll still be at USC at least one day a week, helping guide the international program he created through its post-Covid recovery.

Biggest plant sale While nurseries all over Noosa are starved for stock after a lockdown-inspired gardening frenzy over winter, The Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens are gearing up for their first plant sale since March, and it’s looking like the biggest ever.

With more than 5000 beautiful indoor and outdoor, lush and lovely subtropical plants, including many rare and collectable species, literally “bursting the seams” of the propagation shade house, the Friends will hold the first of a series of Covid-aligned monthly sales next Saturday, September 26. Due to social distancing requirements, only six customers can be in the shade house at one time, so the sale is strictly by online bookings only, with customers being staggered in groups between 8am and 1pm.

Friends volunteer and spokesperson Sue Harrington said that while entry has to be limited for each one, the sales will continue on a monthly basis through summer until there is breathing space for propagation again. “It goes without saying that we also could do with

some proceeds for our coffers,” she added.

“We are justly proud of the contributions The Friends have made to the gardens over the years. Lately we are busy providing permanent signs for plant IDs.” Noosa Today’s horticultural expert gave the huge plant stock the once-over and came out salivating over the gardenias, purple waffles, philodendrons, star jasmines and nodding violets, but given another half hour, she would have been drooling over many more species.

And if you’re out at the gardens for the sale, why not take some time to explore the eight hectares of manicured gardens and features like the lily pond and Greek-style amphitheatre. The Friends will also begin their free onehour springtime guided walks from October 18, again, online bookings essential.

Fake grass is one of those things that polarises people.

When a friend told us recently she had astroturfed her courtyard I was surprised but after explaining her real grass had never grown well in the shady space and this saved maintenance and mowing it made sense, though I’m still strangely uncomfortable with it.

When councillors debated the retrospective approval of Hastings Street restaurant Bistro C on Monday emotions ran high. There was talk about the advantages of private businesses using public land, about businesses operating without local government approval - something that would have been much more acceptable only a few decades ago.

But it was the fake grass fronting Main Beach that everyone agreed they wanted gone. It may be because Noosa is such a nature loving area. Or would pavers have been more acceptable?

It’s funny how the small things attract interest locally.

This week for an interesting read on an international issue have a look at how USC gained traction in the international student market in Phil Jarratt’s interview with professor Robert Elliot.

International students and international visitors have become part of the fabric of Noosa. We would be much poorer without them.

By the way it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day tomorrow, so parrots and eye patches at the ready and do your best Arrrgh.

Here’s what they had to say: 1. Natalie Du Toit Yes. It’s given me more time to spend on myself and so I’ve started running again.

2. Melinda Gannan Since the Covid pandemic started, working with events has really slowed down and so I’ve had more time for myself to be able to go outside and be active.

Bistro C plan on the menu

By Margaret Maccoll Noosa councillor Tom Wegener warned he may become a bit animated when he stood to address Monday’s General Meeting to object to the approval of minor changes to Bistro C Restaurant on Hastings Street.

Cr Wegener took councillors on a journey to the beach to describe the scene walking along the boardwalk on beautiful Main Beach before you reach the restaurant.

Then you see a menu concreted into the wall, you see astro turf with signs saying to stay off the grass, you see dining tables that have never been approved for dining, then you see an enormous structure that’s never been approved by council, he said.

“I think of all the years people have put in fighting to maintain the integrity of the National Park ... that’s the Noosa way,” he said.

“This is not the amenity Noosa stands for. You see the signs - you think of all the businesses made to take down their signs. I’ve been forced off this grass by the signs.”

Cr Wegener said it was council’s job to uphold the town plan and build a level playing field.

“Bistro C is not a special case,” he said.

He also questioned council’s responsibilities in approving a development in an area where waves have been known to inundate.

Council staff told the meeting many of Hastings Street developments had been approved under old planning schemes and what was relevant in this instance was the existing development in Hastings Street and whether

Staff said other developments along Main Beach intruded on to public land, were built to the boundary or intruded into the 10m setback.

“Bistro C is not the exception and does not

Picture: ROB MACCOLL look out of place, that’s why staff have recommended approval. There are a lot of properties council has given permission to retrospectively.”

The application for a “minor change to development approval” submitted to council by restaurant owner Lorri Banks seeks to re-

place and refurbish the existing enclosed dining structure facing Main Beach and outdoor dining area. The changes seek a “retrospective approval” for the area currently being used without council approval. The application also includes a payment to council of a contribution in lieu of a shortfall of one onsite car parking space.

Cr Amelia Lorentson defended the application and restaurant owner Lorri Banks, describing Bistro C as “an institution” in Noosa.

Dr Lorentson said Ms Banks had built up an international reputation for the restaurant that provided good food, great service and had employed generations of locals.

She said she was angry at recent criticism levelled at Ms Banks on social media and called on council to show compassion and flexibility to support small business.

“The hospitality industry needs our support,” she said.

“The is a time to step up and support businesss that have supported out community.”

Cr Brian Stockwell pointed out that council could only deal with the application not the business owner.

Cr Frank Wilkie said he believed the result of the development would be an improvement on what was there. He said all outdoor dining was on body corporate land and an application was being lodged. “This is the correct process,” he said.

Councillors called for more information from council staff before a decision would be made at council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Let John come home

By Phil Jarratt Everyone knows John Bowie. If not personally, then the idea of him, clad head to toe in his favoured yellow, riding his yellow bike along Noosa Parade to the beach, dog Buster in a yellow trailer behind, bringing a smile to everyone he passes.

Close friends say the John you see is the John you get. “His humour and his love of life define him,” says one of about 50 who gathered dressed in yellow at Main Beach by the lifeguard tower (a favoured spot of John and wife Chris) to protest the lack of compassion that is preventing him coming home to spend his last days.

The former cartoonist, who turned 73 this week, was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, and after chemotherapy to reduce the tumour, flew to Sydney for specialist surgery. Unfortunately the cancer was too advanced to be removed and John was given a terminal prognosis. With very limited time left to them, John and Chris applied to the Queensland government for a special exemption from hotel quarantine to allow him to quarantine at home in Noosa. The application was rejected.

While some of the “Yellow Shirts For John” protesters felt that their efforts were possibly too little too late, others were hopeful that recent events, such as banning a Canberra woman from attending her father’s funeral in Brisbane, might cause a government rethink on the vexed and complex issue of compassionate exemptions. Especially with an election coming up.

In the specific case of John Bowie, here is a man who, because of his condition, has been in isolation the whole time he has been in NSW, and would be in isolation again, were he allowed to come home to die, rather than spend two weeks of his precious remaining time in the soulless confines of a city hotel room. “John and Chris represent no risk to Noosa or Queensland,” said friend Anka Franzmann, “and at the moment his physical and emotional well-being is significantly compromised.”

At the beach protest on Monday, I spoke to close friend Bruce Bullock who grew up not far from John in Dorrigo, NSW. He said, “John is just one of those blokes with a heart of gold. He doesn’t deserve to be going through this. I just hope that our being here, dressed for fun, like he always does,

Old cartoonists see the funny side of everything. will make someone take notice.”

Cartoonists always seem to find something to make us laugh in the grimmest situations, and John Bowie is no exception, sending funny photos and a cartoon to his mates, and even joining them by Skype on the beach.

Let’s bring him home.

John hamming it up in Sydney.

IN BRIEF

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Traffic flows over Orealla Crescent Orealla Crescent Bridge on David Low Way has re-opened to traffic.

Work on the $3.8 million bridge replacement started in mid-May, and in just under four months, the previous bridge has been demolished, nine concrete decks installed and new asphalt laid to provide a wider, stronger bridge.

Line marking was completed today with the bridge opening shortly before 3pm.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the reopening was an exciting time for all concerned.

“It’s certainly a significant milestone in such a landmark construction project,” Cr Stewart said.

Ct Stewart thanked Sunrise Beach residents for their patience during construction.

“It’s never easy rebuilding a new bridge on a busy road which is used by 12,000 vehicles a day and I appreciate the patience and understanding from residents.

“Contractors and staff have worked diligently to deliver the project as quickly as possible,” she said.

“Today has been a much-anticipated reopening for many of the locals and the finished product will deliver major benefits to all users,” Cr Stewart said.

The $3.8 million project is jointly funded by the Australian Government and Noosa Council.

The re-opening of the bridge means a detour which has been in place at Sunrise Beach will be removed and on-street parking reinstated along the detour route.

Orealla Crescent, the road underneath the bridge, will remain closed until all works are completed.

Contractors SGQ expect to be onsite for another month to complete landscaping and install bridge railings and other minor works.

A man has been left hospitalised after being involved in a golf buggy and pedestrian incident at a private address in Noosa Heads.

The stable male patient was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital at 6.06pm on Tuesday 15 September.

Coolangatta fatal shark attack A 46-year-old Gold Coast man has died after being bitten by a shark at Greenmount Beach in Coolangatta last Tuesday afternoon.

Around 5pm the man was pulled from the surf suffering from a life-threatening leg injury.

He had been surfing out the front of the local lifesaving club.

The man succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Samara recognised Samara Moore, who experiences an intellectual disability, left quite an impression on local paramedics after she assisted a passenger having a seizure on her bus in Bli Bli last month.

The attending QAS crew praised Samara for recognising the emergency and the need for help, her correct first-aid response and her continued assistance once paramedics were on scene.

As a token of their appreciation, the crew visited Samara’s home and presented her with a certificate from the QAS.

Car rollover at Little Mountain Paramedics, including Critical Care, were called to the intersection of Caloundra Mooloolaba Road and Caloundra Road at 7.49pm on Sunday 13 September for a single-vehicle rollover.

On arrival, both occupants of the vehicle had been able to remove themselves. A male in his teens with neck pain was transported in a stable condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital. The second patient declined further transport.

Cr Stewart acknowledged the partnership with the Australian Government in delivering the critical bridge infrastructure.

“I’d like to thank the work of Federal mem-

ber Llew O’Brien in supporting the project and it’s another tangible example of our strong partnership with the local member and the Federal Government,” Cr Stewart said.

Health heroes thanked for their effort Queensland Health heroes fighting COVID-19 on the frontline will be recognised during Health Heroes Week starting Saturday 26 September.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Health and Minister for Ambulance Services Steven Miles said Health Heroes week is an opportunity for Queenslanders to say thanks to the state’s frontline and support health care staff for their hard work to keep Queenslanders safe over the past eight months.

“I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and commitment of our healthcare workers to keep our communities safe throughout this pandemic,” Mr Miles said.

Hospitalised after buggy crash

“Our best line of defence against COVID-19 is our health care workforce, who are doing incredible amounts of testing and contact tracing, caring for Queenslanders who become ill, keeping our facilities clean, and working behind the scenes to provide the latest health advice and updates to keep the public informed.

“This strong health response has helped us avoid the situation we have seen in countries like the USA or Italy, where health systems have been overwhelmed and devastated entire economies,” he said.

Mr Miles said Queensland frontline Health Heroes will be able to access up to two days additional leave to thank them

for their role during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is one way we can say thank you to all our health heroes for their ongoing and tireless commitment to the pandemic response,” Mr Miles said.

“We all know having time off is important for our health and wellbeing. This will give a little extra time for staff to do the things they enjoy or spend more time with their families.

“This is for our hardworking doctors, nurses, public health teams, ambos, pathology workers and health professionals, as well as support staff who help them do their jobs like cleaners, kitchen staff and administration staff.”

A man with facial tattoos is wanted over two violent home invasions with a possible link to removalist companies on the Sunshine Coast.

In the first frightening attack, two men entered a home on North Beach Place at Mudjimba before assaulting a 20-year-old man around 2.30pm on Monday 31 August.

The pair demanded to know the location of a safe before stealing a number of personal items.

It is believed the pair left the area in a grey Toyota RAV4 with a frangipani on the number plate.

One of the men is described as Caucasian, around 180cm tall with short hair and a tattoo on his right cheek.

In a separate robbery on Tuesday 8 September, two men broke into a home on Eumeralla Crescent at Landsborough and threatened a 77-year-old woman with a screwdriver.

One of the men continued to punch and kick the woman while the other searched the house for a safe.

The two men, who disguised themselves with surgical masks and scarves, were driving a black Holden Astra with distinctive mag wheels.

Police believe the two robberies may be linked to removalist companies in the area as the men demanded specific items at each property.

Sunshine Coast detectives are appealing to anyone with information on the men or vehicles involved to come forward.

Covid-19 wedding boost

By Margaret Maccoll Wedding organisers believe weddings could help boost the Noosa economy during the Covid-situation but inflated fees to host ceremonies on public land are driving couples away.

The not-for-profit Noosa Wedding Organisation is urging residents to go to Noosa Council’s Your Say site by 27 September to ask for fees to be reduced to allow nuptials to take place at affordable rates at the popular Groves on the dunes behind Main Beach.

Over the past five years Noosa Council has increased fees to hold wedding ceremonies at the Groves at Noosa Main Beach from $159 to $567, no matter how many people are in attendance.

The fee does not provide exclusive use of the land and is non refundable even in the event of bad weather.

By comparison Sunshine Coast Council charges $86 for a permit anywhere in their shire. Over the past five years the number of wedding permits issued for the Groves has reduced by almost 100 per year.

Noosa Wedding Organisation spokeswoman Jacqueline Gray said local wedding suppliers were receiving a high number of inquiries for small weddings and elopements.

“The time is right to welcome these Queensland couples whose planned Destination Weddings overseas are not able to take place, and whose overseas honeymoon plans have been dashed,” she said.

“These couples often bring with them their intimate family circle, say 15 guests, who all wish to stay in the heart of Noosa to enjoy all the activities and pampering indulgences available.

“However, spending $567 to stand on a piece of public land is not in their budget.”

Ms Gray said an elopement package, in-

A wedding at the Groves at Noosa Main Beach cluding reception dinner, cake, stylist, florist, celebrant, photographer averaged about a $15,000 spend for the couple and at least another $15,000 for guests, so $30,000 spend in our Noosa economy per wedding.

“We are losing these $30,000 weddings to Mooloolaba and Caloundra,” she said.

ASIC stats show that prior to the pandemic the average wedding would have 60 guests and cost $35,000.

Ms Gray said for the destination wedding location of Noosa, 60 guests staying a minimum of one night, and often a week, with

a very conservative figure of $1000 spend per person, plus the $35,000 of the wedding amounts to $95,000 per wedding injected into the local economy.

“Multiply that by 700 per year in Noosa, and we’re looking at weddings bringing $66,500,000 per annum to the Noosa economy,” she said.

“Couples and their guests eat at our restaurants, take sunset cruises, play golf, head to our spas, take tours, enjoy adventures, and shop in our boutiques.”

Noosa Wedding Organisation meet with Noosa Council recently to call for a number of changes.

They requested a reduction of permit fees, the availability of refunds and improved maintenance of the Groves area.

As stakeholders they want to be consulted when Council are making decisions that impact their industry and they asked Council to install undercover options at Noosa Woods, Chaplin Park and Noosa Botanic Gardens.

Noosa Council said no decisions had been made since the meeting.

Ms Gray urged residents to complete the Your Say Survey on Council’s website with community feedback to inform the next Budget review.

Back to square one for Peregian Village building plan

By Margaret Maccoll It looks like it will be back to the drawing board for Dave Maloney Investments for development plans for a Peregian Beach property described as “an eyesore” at Noosa Council’s General Meeting on Monday.

The building at 6 Heron Street, Peregian Village has sat idle for more than a year since it was vacated by Friendly Grocer.

Council heard the Planning and Environment Court recently decided to reject an appeal made by the applicant to Council’s refusal to allow the construction of a three storey development that included a restaurant, retail area, office units and roof top terrace.

On Monday council looked set to refuse an extension to a development approval granted in 2012 for a two-storey building that included a restaurant and shop on the ground floor, office tenancies on the first floor and a

Disused building at the the Peregian Village proposed development site.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL roof top terrace for the use of tenants only.

Cr Brian Stockwell said eight years had been an adequate time for the applicant to complete the development.

Cr Joe Juresivec said if the currency period on the application was not approved the applicant would be required to lodge a new ap-

plication under the new Noosa Plan which Council staff said would be approved if the application complied with the code.

Mayor Clare Stewart decided she could not support an application that the court felt did not fit in with the community and did not provide adequate disabled access.

She said the key site should provide a development that was “somewhat remarkable” and would be of community benefit.

Council staff recommended the extension to the currency period be refused because the proposed development would result in a building of bulky appearance that was not compatible with surrounding development.

The proposal did not have pitched or curved roof, it did not provide a 2m setback from the village green, would not enhance the character of the centre and would be unlikely to proceed as it did not provide access for people with disability, staff said.

LLEW O’BRIEN 12461712-DL38-20

@ Get Set Footwear

A final decision was due to be made on the development application at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

History at a glance: 1972 - Council approved five shops on the site of the proposed development which had been occupied by a convenience store.

2012 - Council approved the development of a two-storey building with restaurant, shop, offices and private roof terrace.

2016 - Council approved an extension of four years currency period on the development approval.

2017 - A minor change application was made, proposing an extensive redesign and was withdrawn in May 2019.

June 2019 - Council refused a development application for a three storey development including a restaurant, office space and roof top terrace.

Grateful for our Maureen

By Jim Fagan Coast Guard Noosa radio operators work around the clock dealing with close to 40,000 calls a year from boaties wanting to know the weather, tides, vessels going out to sea and back, water police emergencies, sea rescues, boats drifting in the river and the like.

And dealing with her fair share - just as she has done since 1985- is volunteer Maureen Stapp (74) of Noosa Heads.

On Monday night her long stint as a radio operator was recognised with a certificate of merit and, presenting it, Sunshine Coast Commodore John Milland said she had over the last 35 years been consistent and committed to her work.

Later Maureen told Noosa Today that she was on the boats at first and then “I had radio shifts as well. After a while it just got too hard doing both. I was working as well and you really never had time to be at home so I decided to concentrate on radio.

Maureen Stapp with Coast Guard Commodore John Milland (left) and Noosa Acting Commander John Cottee.

Picture: JACKIE ERICKSON “When I started there was only another woman and her daughter. Now about half of our 27 operators would be women.”

Maureen has dealt with lots of sea dramas but the one radio call she remembers most doesn’t involve a boat!

“It was an ultralight aircraft with a woman pilot. She had flown into a tree on the North Shore and she was stuck in her harness 60 feet up in the branches.

“She couldn’t find the radio channel to make contact with her crew, who were also on the North Shore, and somehow she got on to our channel.

“I kept hearing ‘Help, Help, Help’ and I thought it was some kid playing around. I decided to answer it and I realised it was an emergency as she was in danger of falling.

“I managed to inform the police and her own crew and she was rescued. I got a nice letter from the woman.”

Does she often get letters of thanks? On the whole, people, especially the ones who have put themselves at risk in the first place, are grateful.”

Maureen’s shifts are 11am to 3pm every Saturday and one Monday night a month from 7pm to 7am and she has no intention of retiring “not at this stage anyway.”

Highlighting the dangers of kids using social media In a week that has highlighted the hidden dangers of children using TikTok and other social media platforms, the Sunshine Coast Child Protection Week online event has employed video conversations around social media use and online safety as part of its own online presence.

This initiative was used as the Sunshine Coast region’s contribution to Queensland Child Protection Week.

Video footage of a US man sharing his end of life (suicide) was posted on TikTok and Facebook and discovered in children’s

newsfeeds earlier this week under the guise of seemingly innocent content - horrifying parents and the wider community.

The Sunshine Coast Child Protection Week event pivoted online against the backdrop of COVID-19.

Given they were encouraging a young audience on-line to view video content, the organisers felt a responsibility to include online safety as a part of the local campaign messaging.

“To that end, the event features ‘Pint-Sized Press Conferences’, with children interview-

ing local identities about ambition, courage and personal safety, including on-line,” program coordinator Britt Sherwell (Act for Kids) said.

Halse Lodge on market Noosa’s iconic Halse Lodge was placed on the market this week by owners, Anglican Church Southern Queensland (ACSQ), to test what vision others may have for the 7,989sqm property, with selling their least preferred option.

The prime site only 150 metres from Hastings Street and with historical links to the pioneering days of Noosa tourism is currently occupied by a backpacker hostel, with a sub threeyear lease remaining to Ecolodge Pty Ltd, which operates affordable accommodation and a bar/bistro from its four on-site buildings. Halse Lodge is also a favourite with locals who drop in for a drink or meal away from the hustle of Hastings Street.

Noosa Council CEO Brett de Castell said there were few buildings in Noosa more iconic than Halse Lodge and tourism would be the most appropriate use for it going forward.

Anglican Bishop Jeremy Greaves said Halse Lodge also held a significant place in the story of the diocese with clergy recently recalling memories of youth camps and school camps held there prior to it’s life as a backpackers.

Bishop Jeremy said with the lease nearing an end and ACSQ’s property team on the ball to ensure its properties were best used to ensure the running of the church it was an opportunity to reassess the return on the property.

He said there had also been a recent change of zoning on the property from community to tourism, opening up the potential of it being used for more boutique accommodation within the constraints permitted under the building’s heritage listing.

“A backpackers accommodation may be where it ends up but there may be the opportunity for different styles of accommodation or it may be a mix of accommodation,” he said. “A sale would be a long way down the list in terms of our preferences. Our hope would be a long term lease or partnership would be the sort of arrangement that we could enter into.”Owned

by ACSQ since 1959 it will be taken to the market via an expressions of interest campaign run

by Blake Goddard and Matt Barker of Knight Frank.

“We expect this property to be highly sought after, with interest to come from overseas, interstate and local groups, including food and beverage operators, boutique accommodation providers, and private groups, however we are keeping all options open and welcome all en-

gagement throughout the campaign,” Mr Goddard said.

“This site is in a very high-profile location within Noosa and is of a significant size, being nearly a hectare of land in such close proximity to Hastings Street.”

Mr Barker said there was nothing comparable to the Noosa site on the market.

“The opportunity to involve yourself in that much land so close to the beach in one of the

most popular Australian tourism locations is one that comes up very rarely,” he said.

“This is a world-class destination, so it is certainly an exciting prospect for any party to be involved in. The campaign will run for a period of five weeks, seeking all opportunities and ideas from the market.

“The owners will then assess these based on financial merit, community engagement and benefit, and longevity. With a beautiful heritage building on-site, along with rainforest surroundings, we see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity.

“Noosa has forever been a tightly held market, particularly for commercial investments.

With staggered ownership along Hastings Street and many smaller strata units, this will provide a large free flowing property to a party with a grand idea.”

ACSQ Group Manager Property Hiro Kawamata said the Anglican Church was excited to be offering the iconic Noosa property to the market for the first time in 25 years to see what long term vision other accommodation and tourism operators might have for the site.

“We have been proud custodians of this prime Noosa site for 61 years, especially with the site and original building having links back to the 1880s when the original structure was built as a guest house by a local grazier, Walter Hay, who is considered to be the ‘Father of Noosa’.”

The original building was replaced in the 1920s, with a larger building using some of the original materials from the building and was then renamed “Hillcrest” and was later renamed Halse Lodge. It is the last remaining timber accommodation building in Noosa and is the longest continuously operating guest house in south east Queensland.

The expressions of interest campaign for the property will launch on September 17 and close on October 22.

Peregian fire reflection

By Margaret Maccoll The fires that raged across Peregian Beach a year ago brought the community together last Saturday at Peregian Beach Community House to reflect on the event, the bravery of firefighters and the many acts of kindness.

Mayor Clare Stewart thanked firefighters and emergency workers for their unwavering bravery and dedication.

“We would not be here without them,” she said.

There were two observations that came out of the fire event, Cr Stewart said - the need to be prepared and the difference community support can make.

She said Council had increased its fuel reduction burns by 70 per cent this year and would run a get ready program in October.

Those who lived through the fires will remember the time you had to flee and the community opened its doors, its houses and its hearts to help, she said.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services officer Robert Smith said the Peregian fire was an event the likes of which they had never seen before. He thanked the community for their support, for evacuating quickly so they could focus on fighting the fire and for all the thank

you cards they had received.

Councillor Frank Wilkie was one of the community evacuated from his Peregian Beach house. “In our case we had the backyard burnt out,” he said. “Firefighters stood between the house and fence It’s 98 per cent asbestos but it’s still there.” He said gratitude was the overwhelming sentiment felt through the community. We still have a community thanks to the emergency services, he said.

Cr Wilkie praised staff who transformed The J theatre into an evacuation centre at a moment’s notice and he remembered the kindness of residents across the Shire who turned up to offer their homes to complete strangers.

Only one house, belonging to Pam Murphy, was lost in the blaze but it was the environment that felt its full impact. Environment spokesperson Rochelle Gooch talked of the heartbreak at seeing the blackened remnants that bushcare volunteers had worked for 22 years to regenerate, but how pleasing it was to see the recovery of many native trees and the return of some wildlife.

Residents were treated to a free morning tea to mark the occasion and viewed a photographic exhibition ’State of Emergency’

by Sunshine Beach photographer Barbora Tomikova, documenting the 2019 bushfires.

“Stunt” slammed

Traffic protest plan Resident group Friends of Yaroomba is calling for hundreds of cars to join in the upcoming traffic display on David Low Way at Yaroomba from 3.30pm on Sunday 27 September.

Spokesperson Kathryn Hyman said the event was back by popular demand and was an opportunity for the community to show its support for the new legal challenge to preserve the low-key lifestyle of the area.

“The Sekisui project is expected to add another 900 cars to this road system during the busiest hour of the morning and again in the evening. The traffic is already a known issue right out to the Coolum roundabout and onto the Motorway, south along David Low Way to the airport and north through the Coolum township.”

“Residents have been fighting this beachfront project at Yaroomba for several years. We have launched a new fundraising campaign to help cover legal fees to take the case against Sekisui House and Sunshine Coast Council to the Court of Appeal in the Supreme Court. “ Ms Hyman said locals are still talking about the inaugural traffic display held in November 2017. “If you missed it last time make sure you experience the outstanding community spirit this time. Put the kids and dogs in the car and come out in old jalopies, new cars, and everything in between with signs and car lights on.

Join in some fun while making a point that the voice of the people does matter.”

Volunteers will be in place with donation buckets to collect gold coins and notes as cars

drive by. Cars in the display will circle past the Yaroomba development site to show what the daily increase in peak hour traffic will feel like for people needing to get to work or take their children to school in the mornings and home again in the evenings.

“Last time we had 200 cars participating.

This year we are encouraging even more people to join in so that we get closer to what the real traffic impact will be.”

The Yaroomba traffic display is a Covidsafe event that runs from 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm on Sunday September 27. “To prevent a snail trail of traffic on a daily basis please donate to our GoFundMe campaign,” Ms Hyman said.

Donations can also be made online at www. gofundme.com and search for Yaroomba.

Sekisui House has slammed the protest planned by Friends of Yaroomba describing it as a “misleading and fake traffic stunt” which they say will be a major inconvenience for both locals and tourists in the middle of the school holidays.

Sekisui House project director Evan Aldridge said the traffic aspects of the Yaroomba Beach project had been thoroughly assessed by Council and the Department of Traffic and Main Roads for the development application and recently through the Planning and Environment court, which verified the traffic flows are well within the capacity of David Low Way, which is a major arterial road for the north shore area.

“Friends of Yaroomba group (who also go by the name Save Yaroomba) has no credibility after previously misleading the community in raising funds for the last appeal which was lost after the Planning and Environment court ruled there was no substantiate evidence provided to back up any of the grounds of appeal, including traffic,” he said.

Mr Aldridge said the second appeal now in process against Sunshine Coast Council’s approval was wasting rate payers’ money and delaying significant jobs for locals.

The $800 million Yaroomba Beach development will include a 220 room 5-star The Westing Coolum Resort and Spa, 132 serviced apartments, 541 apartments in three and four storey blocks, 67 dwellings in two and three storey blocks and 382 car parks.

Enjoy a day on the farm

By Margaret Maccoll Like moths to a light the quaint hinterland town of Kenilworth has become a haven for travellers who are drawn to its rolling hills, Conondale National Park walks, award-winning cheeses and multiple camping grounds.

When the tourist office spread the word there were requests flowing in from tourists for a farm experience, Lloyd and Barb Campbell answered the call, opening the gates of their Yabbaloumba Retreat for their inaugural Farm Day on Saturday 3 October with hopes of more to follow.

The property is hard to miss with it’s bright blue RUOK tree and massive metal ploughman sculpture and it’s hard not to be enchanted when you’re greeted by Barb and three week old Owen, the lamb, at her heels.

Having been abandoned by her mother Owen sleeps in the house, follows the humans and fails to recognise the other sheep as his family. He is one of an ever changing number of rescue animals on the farm.

In 2003 with no farming experience the couple left Mt Isa to buy a farm and retire in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Lloyd resigned his post at Campbells coaches and Barb quit running Indigenous training programs to buy their 200-acre property at Cambroon, about 10 minutes out of Kenilworth and settle into their homestead overlooking their land where Little Yabba Creek and Booloumba Creek converge.

The property farmed red claw yabbies

Meet the friendly horse

Enjoy a walk around the farm when the Campbells bought it but they gutted the feeding ponds, stacked their dam with bass and acquired some sheep and beef cattle.

Barb said with drought conditions it was tough going so in 2010 they built half a dozen cabins to supplement the farm income and guests were keen to visit the picturesque farm.

When people requested weddings they built a wedding venue. Over the years their menagerie has grown to include geese, goats, a rescue long horn and a horse with alpacas and pigs soon to arrive.

Lloyd said with hand feeding the animals had become very friendly.

To prove his point he shouts, “sheep“ and

on cue 20 or so black-faced sheep lift their heads and walk toward us with lambs in tow.

Barb hopes families will enjoy visiting the farm to see and feed the animals.

Lloyd has built a cart for children to ride and other activities are planned to entertain visitors on the day.

“There will be lawn games, face painting, a Platter Building Workshop with Grazing Acres at 10am and a Flower Arrangement Workshop with Yuraki Botanicals at 2pm and a pop-up lawn bar from 11.30am to 2.30pm, so there is something for everyone to enjoy,” Barb said.

A world away awaits you

By Phil Jarratt Let’s face it, the weather wasn’t ideal as we drove into Habitat Noosa Everglades Ecocamp mid-afternoon last Friday, but the rain eased off and through the trees a shaft of sun illuminated a kangaroo guard of honour as we slipped under the boom gates and pulled up in a mud puddle near our Paperbark glamping tent.

At first glance, the recently expanded glamping plot looks like a cross between an army camp and a suburban cul de sac, its 15 canvaswalled cabins laid out in a grid on an enormous paddock. It’s only when you take the time to sit on the wooden deck and take in the surrounds that you realise you are hemmed in by forest on three sides with the broad expanse of Lake Cootharaba - choppy and brown in the roaring wind this afternoon - directly in front.

You could almost feel the serenity!

With water activities off the agenda in the blustery weather, we grabbed umbrellas and took a pleasant walk through the paperbark forest to Mill Point, the late sun popping through the trees and bathing us in beautiful light. What used to be known as Noosa’s “lakes district” is a place of unsurpassed scenery, but what makes Mill Point and surrounds even more special for history buffs like me is that this is virtually ground zero for the commerce of Noosa Shire.

A homestead chimney in a clearing, a rustravaged boiler on the lakeshore - these are the only remains of the once-thriving timbergetters’ camp of Elanda and Mill Point, where,

Beautiful Noosa Everglades. long before tourism, fishing, cropping and cattle, the produce of the forests created the downriver communities of Tewantin and Colloy (North Shore), as sawn logs were towed by paddle-wheeler to the docks to be sent to market. Walking those trails between camp and where once was a jetty, puts you right back there, 150 years ago.

Back at Habitat, we’d booked in for the 7pm dinner sitting at the Covid-aligned CootharaBar bistro, so plenty of time to appreciate the almost luxurious interior of our tent, and for

Picture: SUPPLIED a sundowner on the deck while watching the plentiful birdlife swooping above kids, bikes and puddles - a perfect holiday combination.

In fact, as we watched campers around the perimeter of the clearing setting up beer o’clock circles around safe fires and making the most of the break in the weather while their brood safely ran amok, it became obvious that Habitat is a kids’ paradise in any weather.

With the southerly still howling, we were lucky to be given an inside table in a cosy corner of the bistro, not far away from the log fire

set in a feature wall of rustic fence posts, a nice historic touch. And the fish tacos were not only excellent but familiar, our chef a transplant from the currently-closed Halse Lodge.

The bistro, bar and micro-brewery is an attractive indoor/outdoor space with a good menu and extensive wine and beer offering, so it’s not surprising that Habitat’s Stay ‘n’ Play packages are already getting booked by locals for Covid-safe corporate outings and Christmas holiday gatherings.

We didn’t get to use them on this occasion, but the waterways are clearly the stars of Habitat’s many attractions, and last weekend marked the return of Everglades Eco Safaris after a long Covid break, now operating at 60 percent capacity or 24 per boat for its acclaimed day trip explorations of the magical upper reaches of the Noosa River. The Eco Safari team also offer “cruise ‘n’ canoe” combo expeditions for the more adventurous.

Either way, these are great value excursions into a rare everglades environment with more bird species than you’ll find in Kakadu, and base camp is just 25 minutes from Hastings Street.

Habitat Noosa has been racking up tourism awards since its development on the site of a popular schools camp a few years back, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s still a work in progress, with extensive improvements over the recent lockdown period, but it’s rare to find such an amenity in a wilderness so close to town.

Shhh... A fenceless farm

By Erle Levey

A Noosa hinterland property designed for a horse whisperer has won a national award. 215354 New structures reflect Australian rural life in form and materials of corrugated steel and timber.

The new house is carved around the site, responding to the landscape, culminating in a high roof gable to the north, framing a view of Mt Cooroy - the significant natural feature of the region.

Geometry of the house evolved from a simple shed form of gable roof extending above the living room and partially over the north deck.

The detached garage is a simpler form, a mediating fragment between the house and original farmstead.

The first new structure to be built – the horse pavilion – turns the typical horse shelter

inside out, with no corrals or gates to confine or cause injury.

At its core are a ‘tack’ room, trailer and food store, supporting a broad cantilevered roof.

Essentially a verandah, under which the horses can freely move.

The shed is separate yet visible from the house, allowing a respectful close contact between horses and people.

The house and outdoor decks are elevated to allow the horses safe, but limited access to the domestic edges of the house.

A strong working relationship with the local builder and tradespeople saw a skilled resolution of the west-facing timber screen, to operate effortlessly as a louvre, while referencing the slab huts of early settlement.

A farm with no fences has seen a Noosa hinterland horse whisperer’s property recognised at a national level.

The Eumundi property saw architects AJ+C design a farmhouse and a series of outbuildings to dispense with fences to allow wildlife and a herd of brumbies to freely roam across a 35-hectare pastoral property.

The project, both ethically ambitious and modest in scale, has been named a winner in the 2020 Good Design Australia Awards.

It was in the Architectural Design Commercial and Residential category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation.

The property, which is being re-wilded by its owners, was commended in the 2020 Australian Institute of Architects regional awards.

The Good Design Awards jury praised Eumundi House, as “an appealing interpretation of the corrugated steel sheds scattered across Australia’s rural landscapes.

“The lack of fences and ambition to ’accommodate’ nature is an appropriate design response for this client.

“A good example of sensitive and affordable design that successfully meets the client’s brief.”

The annual Good Design Awards is Australia’s oldest and most prestigious international awards for design and innovation with a proud history dating back to 1958.

The awards celebrate the best new products and services on the Australian market, excellence in architectural design, engineering, fashion, digital and communication design, design strategy, social impact design and young designers.

AJ+C principal Peter Ireland said the idea for turning a shed inside out for the horses came from watching how the herd would congregate under one of several mature fig trees on the property.

“They were sheltered but free to move, to adapt to both the weather and personality disputes within the herd.

“No fences, gates or corals that typical farm buildings use to control the movement of animals.

“So although it’s a small project, it’s quite radical in the rural context.’’

Eumundi House reflects a different approach to rural life.

The design maintains an original farmstead and adds two outbuildings: a modest home of one bedroom plus study, and a detached garage.

Together with the farmstead, they define the property’s domesticated zone without the fences or barricades typical to rural estates.

Downhill to the west, a horse pavilion is added beside a large unfenced paddock, where the owner works with the horses.

The lack of fences between house and outbuildings supports the clients’ greater landscape projects of habitat regeneration to encourage diversity, and free movement of wildlife and the horses across the property.

Their vision is not a wilderness as such, but a place for wildness.

Yellow book’s golden win

Andrew Maccoll with the yellow book ward to continuing our work on the Sunshine Coast Design project.“ Sunshine Coast Council Design and Placemaking manager Sarah Chalkley said she was delighted to virtually accept the award on behalf of council and hoped it encouraged even more local interest in design.

“The Sunshine Coast Design book is a community resource created for everyone. It provides design ideas and seeks to inspire designs that work with and complement our region’s environment, sub-tropical climate and identity,” Sarah said.

“It guides readers through four values and 10 design principles which are based on what our community told us they treasure most

The Sunshine Coast Design book, created to inspire and promote quality design on the Sunshine Coast, has won a coveted Gold Good Design Award at the Good Design Australia Awards.

Produced by Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with the community and the design and development industry, the ‘yellow book’ is a must-have for anyone designing or renovating houses, buildings, streets, parks, public spaces and neighbourhoods.

Noosa-based boutique design studio Saturate was chosen by Sunshine Coast Council to co-create the book.Studio spokesman Andrew Maccoll said the studio that specialises in strategy and digital was thrilled to be selected and worked closely with the Placemaking team of Sarah Chalkey, Erin Johnston, Chris Hodgson and producer Candace Marshall on the project.

“Saturate developed the Creative Direction and also shot a large portion of the photography for the book,“ Andrew said.

“The big question posed to us by the council was “how do you design a book for everyone?”. We used universally known typography plus an extra layer of architectural typography to give the book an elevated feel. We drew inspiration from our landscapes including the coastline, foreshore and hinterland to create the colour segmentation strategy in the book that separates each of the 10 design principles.

Finally we used a wrap around the book which contains a fold out with the principles and values inside.

“It’s been extremely validating for our team after only two and a half years of operation to be honoured with a Good Design Award. The book has also recently won an AILA Award as well. Whilst our team has decades of experience and are all highly skilled experts we are still a relatively young studio to the region.

“Personally I feel very proud of our team to deliver a book of such quality and we look for-

Border reminder Queensland residents planning on travelling interstate are being reminded about border restrictions in place for returning travellers.

Since, August 8, the Queensland border has been closed to anyone who has been in a COVID-19 hotspot (Victoria, New South Wales and ACT) in the previous 14-day period unless they receive an exemption.

Residents living in the declared ‘border zones’ can apply for a Queensland border declaration ‘X’ pass but will only be permitted to travel within the border zone in Queensland and New South Wales.

Motorists with ‘G’ passes are not allowed to enter Queensland via the roadway and will need to travel into Queensland via air or reapply for one of the other passes if they meet the criteria.

Gold Coast District Chief Superintendent Mark Wheeler said officers were still seeing motorists attempting to cross the Gold Coast/Tweed border checkpoints with invalid border passes.

“With September school holidays coming up and sporting competitions such as the upcoming 2020 Tweed Coast Pro this weekend, it is important people fully understand the restrictions before leaving Queensland,” Chief Superintendent Wheeler said.

“Anyone planning on crossing the border to New South Wales must understand they will not be able to re-enter Queensland by road unless they are able to obtain a valid Queensland border declaration pass.”

Mumpreneur nod A Peregian Springs mum who founded her own prenatal supplement range has been named Health and Wellbeing Award runner up as well as Product Design Award runner up at the 2020 AusMumpreneur Awards.

The awards were held online via Zoom where thousands of talented mums in business from all over the country tuned in to the livestream to support and encourage other Australian mumpreneurs.

NaturoBest founder Nikki Warren said she was excited to win silver in two categories in the AusMumpreneur Awards in such a challenging time.

“I felt so honoured to even make it as a finalist in five categories let alone win silver in two of them,” Nikki said.

“It’s so nice to receive recognition for the years of blood, sweat and tears that goes into the start-up phase of a business.

“This award really means a lot to me and my mission to create a healthier world, one baby at a time.”

A battle with polycystic ovarian syndrome and then an unpleasant experience with morning sickness fuelled Nikki’s passion towards naturopathy and then on to designing her own prenatal supplement range.

“This is my first year attending an AusMumpreneur event and I felt so inspired by the other women there,” she said.

“They are all so talented and every mumpreneur deserves an award because running a business while raising kids is not easy. We should all be proud of ourselves and how far we have come.”

The AusMumpreneur Awards are presented

by The Women’s Business School and were created to inspire, celebrate and provide a community for Australian entrepreneurs, like Nikki Warren.

Now more than ever Australian women need inspirational role models and a safe and

“These awards are all about recognising the growing number of mums who are achieving outstanding business success while balancing motherhood,” Mitchell said.

“I was blown away by the courage, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the award winners and I know that they will provide great inspiration for other women considering starting their own business.”

This is the eleventh year the AusMumpreneur Awards have run, with the business mum community growing at lightning speed as mothers look for opportunities to join the ranks of small business owners in search of more flexibility, financial freedom and family time.

The Women’s Business School co-founder

Katy Garner said the awards show the passion of women who want to fulfil their entrepreneurial dreams as well as be great mums.

“The number of women starting businesses has continued to grow in 2020,” she said.

“Of the 670,000 women operating a small business in Australia currently, around 50 per cent are mums with children at home.

“We are proud to be the number one community for mumpreneurs and showcasing the best and the brightest each year through these awards.

“We are delighted that Nikki has been acknowledged with this award, she has created an outstanding business and is an inspirational role model and ambassador for mums in business everywhere.

“We wish her and all our amazing AusMumpreneur Award winners every success.”

Life after lockdown bulge

By Abbey Cannan The Covid lockdown blues left a lot of us feeling sluggish after spending too much time checking the fridge, and now the Noosa community have jumped on board the gut cleanse train to get back into shape.

The Noosa region has a reputation for its healthy lifestyle, with stunning coastal tracks, sporting events and an array of new health food restaurants popping up on the streets.

Cookbook author, gut-health specialist and nutritionist Vladia Cobrdova said the health food trend was here to stay.

“It’s inspiring to be in this industry because this is where the world is moving anyway. It’s not a trend, we do need to look after our plant, eat seasonally and eat well,” she said.

The Jungle & Co owner said there had been a steep rise in the number of locals taking their shot at a juice cleanse.

“During lockdown, we all had a little bit too much chocolate, too much wine and too much everything. But that’s what we had to go through and people cope with things differently and that’s okay,” Vladia said.

“Rather than beating ourselves up, it’s looking at what we can do now to get back into shape and feel good.

“It’s a really great way to reset your body and we’ve had great feedback.

“There’s a lot of probiotics and prebiotics to really nourish your gut flora and once you start feeling good, you start making better choices for yourself.”

From her early childhood in Czechoslovakia, Vladia was immersed in wholesome fresh cooking stemming from her grandma.

“My grandma had a not so healthy schnitzel house and my dad has three restaurants still.

We came from a hospitality background and so cooking good food was always part of our upbringing,“ she said.

“Growing up in communistic Czechoslova-

Cookbook author, gut-health specialist and nutritionist Vladia Cobrdova. kia, the food was always seasonal and we ate the whole plant, so there was no wastage and no takeaway fast food.”

After being told by her mother to leave the country to be free from the communistic era, Vladia headed for London as an au pai.

“I got to London and I was cooking for families and the way that we cooked was just opening up something from a packet and putting it in the oven.

“Being an 18-year-old I thought, this food tastes amazing. It was my first time tasting McDonalds and things like that.”

Once she moved to Sydney in the year 2000, Vladia said she was blown away by the fresh produce on offer in Australia.

“I had never tasted avocado, mango... it was incredible,” she said.

“I got interested in whole foods and started studying nutrition in Sydney and then I started working in a small beautiful whole food store.”

For the next 18 years, Vladia grew with the company, eventually self-publishing her own cookbook.

“I got noticed by Murdoch publisher who approached me after seeing my work and asked me to do a cookbook,” she said.

“The cookbook is for everybody, whether you are vegan, paleo, vegetarian, meat-eater, I think it’s a really nice way to include everybody at your own table.”

Vladia said her recipes were inspired by her time spent travelling the world.

“The publisher asked me for 100 recipes and I gave them 200,” she said.

Post-lockdown health kicks has the juice cleanse trend back on the rise.

“I went to Mount Everest, so there is a Himalayan Roti Bread. I was living in Greece as a young girl, so there are a lot of Greek dishes, but they have a really healthy, whole foods twist. I’m all about real ingredients.

“Food is joy rather than restriction and I think that’s what I want to really promote.”

After holidaying with her sister in Noosa for 18 years and desiring the lifestyle, they eventually made the move and followed in their families hospitality footsteps.

“We’ve been here for two years now and we saw this cute little shop and thought we should open up something that we’ve always been working with,” she said.

“This is apart of us, it’s not something that we go to for work then go home, this is our lifestyle.”

Rotary gives ordinary people extraordinary opportunities to serve the community, was a quote from former Rotary International president and Nambour Rotary member Sir Clem Renouf that sang true for John Gabb who recently retired from the Rotary Club of Cooroy after 47 years service.

“It does,” he said of his extraordinary opportunities. “But you have to join Rotary for the right reasons.

“You don’t join Rotary to gain benefit although I did. It gave me an into into the community. You join Rotary to serve. You join a service club.”

When John took over as academic registrar of the TAFE college at Cootamundra in New South Wales in 1973 the principal told him he “should get into the Rotary Club”.

John was transferred for his job, moving to Mudgee from 19978-82, Casino from 1982-87 and Armidale from 1987-93. In 1994 he moved to the Sunshine Coast and joined the Rotary Club of Cooroy.

“What Rotary did for me was every time I walked into a town I was able to visit Rotary.

It was a quick and easy introduction into the business community and the town,” he said.

What John gained from Rotary he gave

back in spades. For 26 years he took on the role of treasurer, a job he liked and one no one else wanted. In 1999 he was elected District Governor for District 9600, a role that required he visit each club in the area that covered south east Queensland, PNG and the Solomon Islands. His community involvement included volunteering with Meals on Wheels, Queensland Ambulance, Pomona State School breakfast club, Noosa District State High School Interact Club and Clean Up Australia Day. More recently he has been involved in the Rotary and University of Sunshine Coast Community Fund partnership to advance tertiary education opportunities and with Rotary Youth Driver Awareness, a program to provide high school students with the tools and knowledge to be be responsible road citizens.

Having lost two students in fatal car accidents while at TAFE made it more important to John to be involved in a program that made students safer on the roads.

The Rotary Club of Cooroy celebrated John’s contribution to Rotary at a dinner at Cooroy RSL on 24 August.

“John and his contribution to many community organisations will be missed,” club president Carol Johnston said.

Study stress a positive Study stress can be a good thing, and technology is creating a generation of students ‘wired for distraction’, according to a new book cowritten by a USC expert in children’s brain development and one of his USC graduates.

USC Associate Professor in Child Development and Learning Dr Michael Nagel was invited by a former student, experienced Queensland secondary educator Scott Francis, to collaborate on his book, Your High Performance Guide to Study and Learning, due for release in August.

The authors have combined high-impact study techniques with the latest neuroscientific and education psychology research to create 20 key strategies to help students get the most out of their study and learning time.

In each chapter, Dr Nagel, who has written several books and articles related to neurological development in children and adolescents, provides an expert opinion on how the brain functions and what that means for students as they learn.

A key recommendation is to eliminate devices and screens to promote constructive and intense studying, with Dr Nagel saying that technology is creating a generation of students whose brains were ‘wired’ for distraction.

“Those in the habit of looking at their phone while studying will find the time needed to complete a task grows considerably,” he said.

“Their intensity, level of concentration and engagement will diminish markedly as their brain grows tired from switching from one thing to another and back again.”

Mr Francis, whose various roles in Queensland schools include Deputy Head and Year Level Coordinator, said the book also covered ways to manage study stress and aimed to debunk a tendency of student culture to see stress as an entirely negative phenomenon.

“It was Dr Nagel who first started my interest in many of the topics in this book when I was a Graduate Diploma of Education student

Associate Professor Michael Nagel. in his class at USC in 2009,” Mr Francis said.

“One section challenges the students to think about how their brains learn and how they can tailor their study to better suit this,” he said.

“This includes thinking about diverse matters, such as attention spans, the importance of sleep, social learning, the positive impact of exercise and the negative impact that multitasking has on learning.”

The topics also draw parallels with other high-performance environments such as sport and music, including the importance of setting goals, effective practising, positive mindsets and building routines to support performance.

Mr Francis said the strategies he promoted were based on his research, observations and discussions with students he had taught, and his experiences while completing two undergraduate and four postgraduate degrees, in-

cluding a Master of Financial Planning at USC. “At one stage, I was enrolled in both an undergraduate and Master degree at the same time so instead of completing the usual four subjects as a full-time load for a semester, I completed 11,” he said.

“It forced me to think about how we study efficiently and sparked my interest in how we can get the most out of our learning endeavours.”

Butterflies hit the water Local disability support service, Sunshine Butterflies were overjoyed to partner with the June Canavan Foundation, an organisation built on sport, health, education and conservation, to bring new sporting equipment to their ‘All Sports’ program.

Sunshine Butterflies were generously gifted the funds from the June Canavan Foundation to purchase four stand up paddleboards for their program, just in time for summer.

Community Development, Lucy Mills said they were so grateful to be able to provide members living with disability something that will help them to get outdoors and have fun in the warmer months.

“June Canavan have been wonderful in supporting us with the help of Kona Boards who assisted us in choosing the perfect SUPS for our members,” Lucy said.

People living with a disability regularly do not get the same opportunities as others, often struggling to access sporting equipment and the support required to participate. Sun-

shine Butterflies wanted to be able to provide the necessary equipment for programs such as this and allow their members to be able to gain the same level of skills and independence as others can.

“We’ve noticed that now that more people living with a disability are able to access NDIS funding, more individuals are seeking skillsbased, unique programs and activities to participate in,” Lucy said.

“We always want to make sure we are taking the next step in providing this to our community.”

JCF board member, Maureen Cummings said the June Canavan Foundation were excited to provide funding to Sunshine Butterflies for their new SUPs. “The donation was aligned with June’s interest in sport and her commitment to the health and wellbeing of Sunshine Coast people,” Maureen said.

“We are sure their members will have a lot of fun using them.”

Students seize opportunity to excel for the future Good Shepherd Lutheran College students have been thriving as they work towards their future goals whilst still completing their senior schooling.

Headstart is a transition program offered by the University of the Sunshine Coast for Year 11 and 12 students to study first-year University subjects whilst in Year 11 and 12.

Headstart is just one option suggested in senior years as it lets the students get a taste of university life studying on-campus while expanding their knowledge, developing their academic skills and interacting with university staff and students.

Head of Senior Years Studies at Good Shepherd Mr Matt Armstrong said, “At Good Shepherd we understand the importance of seeking out opportunities and encouraging our students to further develop their learning and skills, especially in these uncertain times and the increasing requirement to adapt to the ever-changing economic environment.”

“We were thrilled with the results and are

confident these students will progress into further study with the added confidence of already having achieved a university course,” he said.

Year 12 student C-Jai Rosenkranz has already successfully completed two courses from a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) degree through the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), gaining Distinctions whilst also achieving in her school subjects.

Year 11 student Katelyn Dyer shone in her course of studies within a Bachelor of Communications (Journalism) gaining not only a High Distinction but also acquiring important foundation skills in traditional and digital media.

“I really enjoyed the opportunity that Headstart gave me to experience university study in an area that I’m interested in,” Katelyn said.

“If you’re considering taking Headstart, go for it. It’s given me skills that I can apply to all of my senior subjects.”

A tidy home is good TV Get Organized with The Home Edit, Netflix, from 9 September This is the perkiest television show that ever perked!

Business partners Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin and their team of look-alike black-Tshirted staff work their way across America organising the houses of the country well mostly their home state of Tennessee (one house at a time - or in the case of this show two houses at a time).

The pair - who were already Instagram famous - have stepped up to TV now bringing their own brand of interior styling and perkiness. Did I say these two are perky?

The first episode of the eight ep series sets the scene with the dynamic duo being called on to help Reese Witherspoon organise her movie costumes and red carpet gowns in a brand new walk-in-wardrobe in her brand new Nashville house.

The closet is more museum than wardrobe and the Home Edit team are almost beside themselves being able to give the costumes from Sweet Little Lies and more importantly Legally Blonde, a new home.

With white gloves and the precision of museum curators they are on-hand to make sure that the clothes of Elle Wood are treated with the reverence such Hollywood treasures apparently deserve. Later they all pack up their pom poms and head over to perk up a garage or is that the wardrobe of a hard-working pedatrician?

This is a lot of fun, lots of positive women

Retribution is here for durable Halifax Halifax: Retribution, Nine Network, Tuesdays, 8.45pm You’d think after a couple of decade’s of solving pretty nasty crimes, Jane Halifax (Rebecca Gibney) would be looking to put her feet up, have a cuppa and potter around the garden.

But despite being an internationally renowned professor now, there is probably never going to be a happy ending for Gibney’s most famous character.

This time around (after a sizeable break) Jane is back, heartbroken again pretty quickly into this seven-part series and trying to stop a serial killer from striking again and probably doing something even more heinous.

tive Chief Inspector Peter Jay played by Daniel Mays (Line of Duty, Temple) and biographer Brian Masters played by Jason Watkins (The Crown, The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies) and explores the personal and professional consequences of coming into contact with a man like Nilsen.

Told from both the police and Masters’ points of view, this story explores how Nilsen, who murdered boys and young men in his flat from 1978 to 1983, was able to prey on the young and vulnerable in ‘80s Britain.

The series highlights the police investigation and the trial but also the media coverage and how it influenced perceptions of the victims.

A scene from Des.

Alive is an outstanding South Korean zombie movie about Oh Joon-wo (Yoo Ah-in), who is trapped in his apartment with few supplies and little hope as a zombie virus spreads through Seoul.

The film’s opening sequence brutally and succinctly introduces Joon-wo and establishes the cramped setting and the rules of the zombie infection.

Ah-in is an affable lead with shades of Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead, playing a withdrawn young man who discovers new depths of resourcefulness during a crisis. Joon-wo’s frustration and weariness are palpable, but he develops a sweet remote friendship with Kim Yoobin (Park Shin-ye), a survivor in the opposite apartment building.

The taut narrative does an exemplary job of building thin hope, through companionship, lucky supplies and fleeting safety, then wrenching it away with organic setbacks or nasty twists, and this cruel rhythm keeps you on edge until the final moments.

The plot has effective foreshadowing, as small details come back to (figuratively) bite Joon-wo and Yoo-bin later, and some moments of dry humour, such as Joon-bin running out of water only to drink himself into a stupor on his father’s liquor.

Streaming on Netflix, Alive is both a touching and phenomenally suspenseful zombie movie, and further reinforces South Korea’s growing reputation for superbly-crafted thrillers and horror films.

“You feel as though they are taking the time to listen to our views,” he said.

“It gives us the opportunity to meet the councillors and talk openly about our concerns,” Peregian resident Fran Pennay said.

Jason Sherriff, keeping our mozzies under control.

Meet Jason Sherriff. He’s the man tasked with keeping mosquitoes at bay in Noosa Shire.

As Council’s Vector Control Officer he also helps land owners manage destructive pest animals such as wild pigs and foxes.

“A month ago we caught more than 40 wild pigs in one trap out the back of Kin Kin. They make a real mess of farming land, so we work with landowners to control them.”

But with Noosa being home to a variety of

mosquitoes, including those that can carry viruses such as Ross River and Barmah Forest, more often than not you’ll find Jason in swamp areas monitoring known breeding sites.

This work helps ensure aerial mosquito treatments are targeted for maximum efficacy.

The treatment inhibits larvae growth and it doesn’t harm plants and animals.

“We put traps out once a fortnight looking specifically for mosquitoes that carry dengue fever. They’re a mosquito more commonly

SPRING GARDENING TIPS Choosing the right plants supports local wildlife Managing weeds, and opting for native species when adding plants, shrubs and trees, will not only make for an attractive garden, but support local wildlife and the environment.

Council’s Principal Environment Officer, Peter Milne, said landowners, Council, state authorities, Landcare Groups and Bushcare volunteers had eradicated many weed species by working together, but the war on weeds continued.

“We can all help by eradicating weeds from our backyards,” he said.

Opting for native species is good for the environment - it helps attract native wildlife and provides a food source. Ask your local nursery for advice when choosing plants.

Coastal Wattle, Tuckeroos, Wedding Bush,

Coastal Banksia, Lilly Pilly and Beach Birdseye were among some of the species ideal for coastal areas.

Mulching is helpful for suppressing weeds and retaining soil moisture, and Spring is an excellent time to fertilise your plants, give them a kick-start now for the growing season.

seen up north, but as they’re a variety we certainly don’t want, it’s important we monitor.

Moving north from Victoria a decade ago after a career in management, Jason studied horticulture and joined local government as a parks officer before making the transition to Council’s Environment Health department.

“It’s certainly interesting work and it gets me out of the office.”

YOU CAN HELP SHAPE COUNCIL SPENDING There’s been a great response to our short survey about where council spending should be prioritised in this COVID-19 environment.

Over 90 people have provided thoughts via the Your Say Noosa engagement website.

Financial Services Manager Trent Grauf said submissions close September 27.

“COVID restrictions continue to impact operational budgets, so this feedback will help guide councillors and staff in their decisionmaking,” he said.

The five-minute survey asks residents to select options in their order of preference to ensure we are delivering on the services and functions which the community desires.

The value of seagrass Action is needed to protect and restore disappearing local seagrass meadows, according to a USC scientist involved in an international study that has highlighted the important role seagrass plays in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

USC Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography Dr Javier Leon contributed to new modelling that found an increase in CO2 emissions equivalent to five million cars each year has been caused by the loss of seagrass meadows around Australia’s coastline since the 1950s.

The collaborative study, led by the Centre for Marine Ecosystems Research at Edith Cowan University, calculated that since the mid-20th century around 161,150 hectares of seagrass had disappeared nationally, resulting in a two percent increase in Australia’s annual carbon dioxide emissions.

“These findings provide a clear baseline to estimate potential carbon emissions from seagrass disturbance and highlight the importance of local seagrass meadows in helping to mitigate climate change,” Dr Leon said.

“Large-scale carbon dioxide sequestration is a must if we want to keep atmospheric CO2 levels within an adequate range in the following decades,” he said.

“Together with other coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows play a very important role in this by efficiently capturing and storing so-called ‘blue carbon’ in their soil at a rate estimated to be about 30 times faster than most forests on land.”

The paper, published recently in Global Change Biology, was based on data derived from current research by ECU PhD student Cristian Salinas on carbon stocks of Cockburn Sound off the coast of Western Australia.

Researchers used modelling to assess how environmental factors such as water depth, hydrodynamic energy, soil accumulation rates and soil grain size related to changes in soil carbon storage following seagrass loss.

Dr Leon performed the analysis of spatial data and mapping for the project that including researchers from the International Atomic Energy Agency and Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Research Centre.

He also contributed to wave modelling that showed without seagrass acting as a buffer, hydrodynamic energy from waves, tides and currents also played a significant role in causing carbon loss by moving the seabed sand.

Researchers found hydrodynamic energy from water movement was much higher in the shallow water and associated low levels of carbon were recorded in these bare areas.

However, seagrass established in shallow waters was found to have significantly more carbon stored compared to those growing in deeper areas, highlighting the importance of preserving nearshore meadows.

Dr Leon said there were wide-ranging local implications for the vast seagrass meadows stretching from Moreton Bay to the Fraser Coast.

“Seagrass meadows are quite fragile, particularly to human activities that change water quality,” he said.

“Previous research by Dr Leon in 2013 on seagrass in Moreton Bay in 2013 found that the main factors affecting meadows were sea-level rise and water turbidity.

“To offset the negative impacts of sea-level rise and increasing wave energy, the main priority should be improving water quality by reducing soil and fertiliser runoff.”

Top young maths minds putting kindness to the test Can kindness spread like a virus? Some of Queensland’s best young mathematicians recently took up the challenge of finding out by competing in USC’s Maths Modelling Challenge.

Year 9 and 10 students from more than 20 high schools - from as far as Mareeba in North Queensland to Mansfield in Brisbane - used the power of maths to solve three realworld scenarios devised by USC maths and science academics.

Students had to either model the local and global impact of small acts of kindness on mental health, determine the associated CO2 emissions of posting a selfie each day on a social media platform, or measure the environmental impacts of the daily school dropoff and pick-up.

The three winning teams were from Kawana Waters State College, Maryborough’s St Mary’s College and Urangan State High School in Hervey Bay. Teams from Burnside State High School, Bayside Christian College and Mansfield State High School received highly commended awards.

Challenge judge, USC physicist Dr Kathryn Broadhouse, said the “Mathematics of Kindness” category was based on the theory that kindness was contagious and could spread exponentially.

“The simple answer that most teams came up with was that it will take at least 31 days for all seven billion people in the world to receive an act of kindness from one random interaction,” Dr Broadhouse said.

The category was won by St Mary’s College students Sky Neale, Cammie Burridge and Kate Bensted who calculated the number of random acts of kindness students at their school would have to carry out before it spread like a virus across the globe.

“This team impressed the judges by taking the concept to a whole new level and applying more complex modelling to reflect realistic interactions and social connections and the effect this would have on the projected timeline,” Dr Broadhouse said.

The “Social Media Carbon Footprint” scenario category was won by Urangan State High School students Seb Clarke, Jacob Killer and Ryan Wheatley.

A team from Kawana Waters State College devised modelling to find a solution to reduce car congestion, driver frustration and the noise and air pollution caused by the daily school drop-off and pick-up to win the “School Run” category.

Lucas Biava-Bishop, Ben Fowler and Daniel Breytenbach impressed the judges with their project, which measured the environmental benefits of a proposed “Cycle

to School” initiative.

Marina Fitzpatrick from USC’s School of Science and Engineering said the challenge, delivered online this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, was designed by USC to inspire the next generation of leaders in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

“The scenarios chosen for the competition underpin the ethos that STEM has applications across the curriculum and beyond the classroom, and challenge students to

use STEM in solving everyday, real-life problems,” she said.

As part of the program, all participating schools received online presentations on maths modelling and its use in the real world from USC mathematicians and researchers, as well as tips on how to approach the challenge criteria.

Students then worked in small groups to develop, model and present their findings, with the top model from each school submitted online to USC STEM judges.

The Hotseat Phil Jarratt

Retiring with top honours Professor ROBERT ELLIOT retired from the University of the Sunshine Coast last month after having guided its international student program from infancy to significant player in Australia’s third biggest export industry. Then he spent the last five months of his quarter century career at USC plotting its survival. He spoke with Phil Jarratt.

Before we start this interview, can we get a less corporate shot of you, maybe interacting with international students?

I never had much to do with them. My job was to get them through the door, to get their money (laughs). I hope that doesn’t sound mercenary, but the commercial aspect was the key driver.

You timed your run rather well, with education as an export product really kicking in from the turn of the century, but the Group of 8 (major universities) seemed to be getting the biggest slice of the pie. Was it difficult for a provincial uni to break in?

Well, it’s true that the Group of 8 were getting most of it, along with some second tier unis like UTS and QUT, but the issue for USC was that it was a very new university with no international presence, so we decided to play to the strengths of our geographical location, the Sunshine Coast, and that became key to our pitch. The students it appealed to were mainly those who wanted a one-semester experience of Australia, preferably in an attractive part of it.

Could you use the same pitch for longer-term full degree students?

Yes, in some markets. In the early days most of our internationals were from Europe and North America. In fact we had a Canadian boom for a while, but around 2008 we began

Professor Robert Elliot. recruiting for full degree programs from South Asia, Japan and South Korea. While we didn’t lose our connections with Europe and North America, and they remain an important part of the international student body, the balance began to change. In 2019 our top five countries were India, Nepal, China, Germany, United States, with Norway probably number six.

I’m surprised that China wasn’t number one.

Actually, the majority of our Chinese students were in China, not here. We have an agreement that involves us delivering our MBA program into China. But the other markets all come to the Sunshine Coast.

How did that happen?

I think it was just a series of happy accidents.

We were approached by an Australian agent who was looking for Australian universities to partner with China at a certain price point, which put them at our level and they liked our product.

We don’t usually think of education as a product, and I’m having difficulty seeing you cold calling universities or going to trade shows.

Walk me through the process.

Yes, I went to recruitment trade shows, but that wasn’t our main activity. There are also student fairs, which are geared towards students wanting to study internationally, and there is a lot of direct engagement with potential partner universities. My colleague, who is now our international director, spent weeks at a time driving around Europe and America cold calling institutions. I didn’t do that. Greg paved the way (laughs). But it was a necessary step to establish our name in these markets. Take Germany, for example. Greg found us a dozen or so partners there at the start, and the word got around that we were easy to deal with and we offered a great experience, so now we have

Picture: SUPPLIED more than 40 German partners.

When the market shifted from West to East, did you have to come up with a different recruitment strategy?

China is very brand conscious, and we knew it would be hard to crack, so the happy accident I described was very helpful. We also established relationships with third tier Chinese universities who would recruit students who would do two years study in China and get a one-year credit towards a degree at USC, so that created a steady trickle. The other area in which we’ve had success there is our Bachelor of Nursing Science. The motivation there is that it’s a pathway to residence in Australia.

That’s also the case for India and Nepal, the product is a pathway to permanent residence.

And a job as an Uber driver?

A lot of our students, particularly in the business faculty, do find themselves doing that, but our nursing students seem to get jobs in their chosen profession. For India and Nepal, most of our business comes through agents who often have branch offices in Australia, so once you develop a relationship the momentum grows, but that’s not without risk. There are various penalties for universities who make offers to applicants who don’t meet visa requirements.

Home Affairs has a university risk index and if you move in the wrong direction, they’ll make it more difficult for you to recruit. Fortunately, we’ve never strayed into the danger zone.

What has Covid done to USC’s international program, short and long term?

It’s meant that in second semester this year we recruited zero students from offshore. In a normal year we would have recruited around 700 commencing students from offshore, and each of those would have been paying between $10,000 and $15,000 for that one-semester ex-

American business students at USC. Picture: SUPPLIED perience, depending on what they were studying. But there are a lot of international students still in Australia, and we ended up with about 230 who were recruited here, almost all of them in nursing. That surprised us, we were projecting much lower numbers. We also thought that the crash in the casual job market would affect their capacity to pay fees, but we were wrong in both cases. For first semester next year, I don’t believe the borders will be open, so there’ll be no offshore recruiting and the potential for onshore recruiting will have diminished as the pool shrinks and various universities start discounting. Our best guess is we’ll have 100 internationals commencing, but what happens in second semester? Will the borders be open? I’m pessimistic, I think if they are open at all it will be in a very restrained way, and Covid is rampaging through key markets like India and the US. I don’t think there will be a noticeable recruitment recovery until 2022.

What does this do for your budgets?

In 2019 international students represented 18 percent of our revenue, and we’re still reaping the benefits because last year’s commencements are still with us, but by the end of the year many of them won’t be. Then it’s going to be a squeeze. One thing that could happen is that domestic enrolments might pick up, as they have in second semester this year, but whether that will continue is the question. Our saving grace is our new Moreton Bay campus where we have guaranteed Commonwealth funding for 2021 and ’22, provided we can get our student numbers, and I’m confident that will happen.

Looking at the financial ramifications across the university sector, the biggest issue is the fact that the Group of 8 is incredibly dependent on international students, and even more dependent on China. That might be problematic.

You started at USC as founding Dean of Arts back in 1995. How did that morph into you leading the internationalization program?

Sunshine Coast University College, as it then was, had its first batch of students in 1996, and by the end of ’97 I’d begun a conversation with the University of Technology Sydney which had an outfit that provided English language training for international students before they went into UTS degree courses. We were talking about setting up a joint venture on the Sunshine Coast, and that was really my first dabble into the international area but it didn’t happen. Instead we established our own English language college which I then looked after.

It went well from the start and it became obvious that USC, like other Australian universities, needed to get involved with international student recruitment as an important way of supplementing our revenue, so even though I remained Dean of Arts, I also got involved with student recruitment. I started doing quite a bit of travelling, attending recruitment fairs, visiting potential partner universities, establishing relationships with student recruitment agents. By 2004, this represented a lot of what I was doing, so USC created the role of Pro ViceChancellor International, to which I was appointed in 2005. I’ve been in some version of that ever since, as well as acting in other roles from time to time.

Malibu surfing legends Finally the waves were perfect at Noosa Main Beach on Sunday for the Noosa Malibu Club to run its monthly club surfing competition.

Covid-19 shut the club down from March to July then lack of surf cancelled the past two events but on Sunday about 60 surfers aged from 8 to 75 years joined in the competition.

The club has come a long way since it began in 1986 when two longboard clubs amalgamated.

Club registrar Darlene Gower said back then surfers would meet early one Sunday morning a month and decide where the best surf break was. “A note nailed to a tree would direct any stragglers,“ she said. There were two divisions - Modern Mal 8ft and Traditional Mal 9ft and women surfed with the men.

The tradition of meeting early on a Sunday morning continued until only last year, when the Club decided to embrace online technology of managing the monthly club meet and it became more practical to put a post on Face Book.The Club now has more than 150 members and divisions for Men, Women, Junior Boys, Junior Girls and Pee Wees (under 12’s).“The Noosa Malibu Club is a club for all ages and all surfing abilities,“ Darlene said. “It is a nurturing environment for the junior members, who have the older members as mentors.

The Club’s focus is to provide a place where members can come together to socialise, compete, and generally enjoy the sport of longboard surfing. From its midst some amazing young surfers have emerged into the world of surfing and the club is proud to include World and Australian champions amongst its current and previous members. Today there are 50 junior members and the talent is outstanding.

The club conceived and developed the Noosa Festival of Surfing, an event that has now earned international recognition and is coming up to its 30th year. The club also runs two other events through the year, the Wrecks & Relics competition (catering for those over 50), and the Noosa Logger, an event that takes us back to surfing’s more traditional roots. These events help the club provide support to their active members who wish to compete in State, Australian and World pathways, and provide equipment and training to support the membership to help improve their surfing ability.

“As with all sporting clubs a lot of work is involved in keeping a club functioning and the Noosa Malibu Club is no exception,“ Darlene said. Luckily they have an outstanding Committee, and a bunch of enthusiastic members who are proud to be a part of such a great Club.

Lorikeet Park - our space

By Margaret Wilkie On Boxing Day, 1992, the Peregian section of Noosa National Park at the southern end of Lorikeet Drive was bulldozed with a plan to link the Motorway west of Peregian Beach with Lorikeet Drive.

Protests, petitions and the Press coverage prevented this connection.

Now, Lorikeet Park at this very southern end of Lorikeet Drive, provides a safe and tranquil thoroughfare for school kids, walkers, bikers, runners and has made Lorikeet Drive a no- through road.

Resident protesters later planted trees, shrubs and named the park. Peregian Beach Community Association maintains this park today.

Black Mass Publicity Stunt The Black Mass to be held at The J on Halloween is nothing more than an outrageous publicity stunt by the Australian Sex Party. This event is a Council approved lifting the middle finger at Christianity.

The organiser, Robin Briscoe has publicly stated his disdain of Christian values which he feels gives him and his small group of followers the right to purposely insult another part of the Noosa Community. This is hypocrisy of the highest degree by our Council. How far would a extremist Christian group get if they wanted to hold a Gay Conversion Night at The J? If this event goes ahead Robin Briscoe will ensure it gets National attention and by default the residents of Noosa will be portrayed as lunatics.

Council needs to knock this on the head now, before it’s too late.

What Makes You Happy?

Some of the most genuinely happy people live in the developing world. They are kind, selfless and prepared to give whatever they can to ensure the happiness of others.

Conversely, some incredibly wealthy people (namely Australians) struggle with happiness (often due to mental health issues, relationships and family problems).

Some think through the accumulation of “stuff” they will be happy. Unfortunately, this desire for “stuff” is insatiable; it fuels consumption, consumerism and mountains of waste. Happiness is not found in the latest iPhone or a flashy car. This kind of happiness is so fleeting, and will be quickly replaced by the desire for the next shiny, new thing. Some notso-nice people treat others in this manner too.

Some people think that a relationship will make them happy, but this is not the case. Usually people who think this have issues with the way in which they feel about themselves. This kind of person is not attractive at all. If they do actually ever find themselves in a relationship, it’s highly unlikely that they will be suddenly happy. Low self-esteem doesn’t go away just because you changed your relationship status on Facebook. Single people can be very happy.

Many Australians fail to realise how rich and blessed they are in terms of their education, opportunities, health, environment and wealth (when compared to the rest of the world).

Travel helps to change perspective, especially when one experiences places contradistinctive to Australia.

Happiness is found in being grateful for your blessings, thinking beyond your own needs, and helping others to make their world a better place.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the group of cyclists who stopped and assisted me and also called an ambulance. Your assistance, as well as that of the ambulance ladies, was much appreciated.

It would be useful if any of the group could contact me to fill in a few details, and confirm my own recall of the accident.

Law isn’t on our side Despite the fact that our Molly was mauled to death by two roaming, unregistered and dangerous dogs, it is apparent that the law in Queensland is definately not on the side of the

dog who is mauled to death.

Dogs such as the attackers have had their lives spared by laws which require the owner to keep them secure and signage on the property to advise that they are Dangerous Dogs.

Is this fair, no of course it isn’t. We have lost our Molly and the dangerous dogs have their lives spared.

If these two dogs get out of the owners yard again they will most likely attack another dog with the same consequences as happened to our Molly. Is this fair, no of course it isn’t.

The law needs to change to protect those who innocently walk their dogs on our streets without fear of such attacks.

Finally I must thank the residents of Tewantin who have sent flowers to my wife, have called at our home to offer their condolences and have given my wife further support after what was for her an horrific event.

She continues to be traumatised by the event and for the first time in her life is very wary of large dogs.

Cooroy artist Mark Porters is set to release his third album.

Cooroy artist Mark Porter.

Blues Road from Cooroy

By Abbey Cannan A Cooroy musician is set to release his third studio album with all original songs inspired by his travels on tour in Australia and overseas.

Mark Porter, who will be releasing his latest album titled ’Blues Road’ featuring Tim Gaze and Doc Span in late September, is a third generation musician who was influenced by the early music that came out of Americas Deep South.

Growing up in Adelaide, he was surrounded by music.

His Grandfather Albert started the first brass band in Thebarton and his father Max played sax and clarinet and led a sixteen piece orchestra.

“I began playing guitar in my early teens, but due to an unfortunate event, it was almost 15 years before I became serious about playing

again,“ Mark said.

“From this time on, with many lessons and many hours of practice, I grew to love the instrument.“ When Mark first picked up the guitar his early influences were country and folk music, until he heard Eric Claptons’ renditions of Robert Johnson.

He has been playing the blues ever since.

Mark formed his first blues band, ’Texas Flood’ in the mid 90’s and they played the Central Queensland area extensively.

In 2004 he made the move to the Sunshine Coast and immediately joined local band ’The Blues Burners’.

The year 2007 saw the release of Mark’s debut solo album, produced and engineered by legendary guitar player Tim Gaze.

Tim also plays on the album with well

known blues harp maestro Doc Span and Sydney bass player, Mark’s brother, Red Porter.

Shortly after the release, he hit the road to promote the album, travelling Australia for five years, and playing gigs all across the country.

Mark said his latest album was written over a three year period while he was on tour.

“Once I had enough material, I began recording in February of this year,“ he said.

“For the listener, it’s basically an acoustic blues album with some folk influence.“ His renditions are raw, played on acoustic and dobro guitars, backed by a stomp box.

“They’re songs with stories. An 1800’s shipwreck, a road trip through the Southern States of America, a struggling town in Western Queensland, to name a few,“ Mark said.

He has performed at popular festivals including Gympie Music Muster, Agnes Water

Probus Day celebrates connectivity Probus Clubs began to assist people ease into retirement but in Noosa they have become life lines for our older residents.

This year on 1 October is the inaugural annual celebration of Probus Day and the theme is Staying Connected and Active with Probus - the key to happy retirement.

Noosa Probus event organiser Joan Page said the club would hold a picnic in the park on 26 October to celebrate the occasion with guest speaker, former Mayor Bob Abbot.

Ms Page said their primary goal for the event was to raise awareness of Probus and to draw attention to the benefits of joining a Probus Club. “The day is all about celebrating Probus whilst connecting with as many retirees as possible,“ she said.

Like many others Ms Page joined Probus when she retired three years ago, at the age of 77, and now spends her time organising outings, though Covid-restrictions has made it difficult to find venues for their usual group numbers of 45-50.

She said Noosa Shire was well represented with Probus Clubs and with the area’s ageing population many members were aged in their eighties and nineties.

“Initially Probus was all about fun, friendship and fellowship in retirement,“ she said.

“Engaging these older Australians in activities to prevent loneliness and boredom has become an important role for Probians particularly in these challenging times.

“We have welfare officers who ensure members are contacted regularly, have the help they need in medical emergencies and we also provide help and comfort after a bereavement.“ An offshoot of Rotary, Probus was con32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 September, 2020

Blues and Roots Festival, and the Rotorua Blues Festival, but this year has seen a halt to all festival gigs.

Mark said the Covid-19 pandemic had created a recipe for more blues songs.

“I suppose with the cancellation of gigs, it has given me the time to work on the recordings culminating into this finished product,“ he said.

“Originally, I was booked to play in Cunnamulla for June/July and that was cancelled.

“But as things have improved out there, I will be playing at The Club Boutique Hotel, Cunnamulla for the month of October and I am very grateful for that.“ Mark’s album ’Blues Road’ is available on Spotify and iTunes, with hard copy enquiries to shirley.mark@hotmail.com.

They were concerned how they could keep themselves active and mentally challenged after retiring from their busy professional and business careers. Hence, the name Probus which also happens to be the

Latin word from which “probity” is derived.

October 1 was chosen as Probus Day because it is also the United Nations Day of Older Persons. This special day was established more than thirty years ago to highlight the important contributions that older people make to society.

This is a rollicking good yarn! Eliza Grayling lives in the Sydney of the early 19th century. She is too old (and it is said too tall and ugly) to be married, and spends her days caring for her blind, reclusive, alcoholic father. Eliza discovers why her father has hidden himself away, and is horrified when he decides he wants to travel by ship in search of his nemesis, somewhere in the Furneaux Group of islands to the north of Tasmania. She has no choice but to accompany her father on this seemingly insane journey aboard “The Moonbird”, made more perilous by the rough and ready all male crew.

One of the passengers is a doctor and she finds some solace in his company whilst her father attempt to drink himself to death, but a few clues cause Eliza to doubt him. There is a lot of tension as the schooner heads south into the Furneaux Group, which is sparsely populated by seal hunters and those running from their crimes and the law. There the nemesis awaits. This is a brilliantly written and immensely entertaining novel.

It is a sequel to Serong’s previous novel “Preservation”, but stands alone as a wonderful story in itself. (Text Publishing, $33) - Annie Grossman, Annie’s Books On Peregian

Writing the right way

By Margaret Maccoll Budding scriptwriters and directors learnt from the experts last week at the Peregian Beach Digital Hub’s creative residency workshops.

Screenwriter of TV series Neighbours and Home and Away Stephen Vagg and director of film and television Louise Alston inspired participants with their knowledge and entertaining delivery.

If you’re ever struggling for a good story idea, borrow one from William Shakespeare, Vagg said.

And you’d be in good company with plenty of films, even sci-fi classic, The Forbidden Planet, based on one of Shakespeare’s plays.

Working together Vagg and Alston set out their basic rules for writing a script while workshop participants used their tips to create their own scenarios.

All stories have a beginning, middle and end and a setting, Vagg told them.

They don’t have to have a hero but they do need a protagonist that drives the action. Generally the protagonist has a goal, something prevents them from reaching the goal that they must overcome to resolve the situation.

“Think of a person and what they want most in the world,” Vagg said. “It could be world domination, to be a parent. It might be Jaws - he just wants lunch.”

“You have to know when to start the story.

It’s easy if it’s James Bond - he comes in when someone is going to blow up the world.”

And the location works best in a place where the characters can’t escape - in a city, in an office, a school - think Snakes on a Plane.

“Ask yourself - who’s the main character?

What do they want? Why do they want it?

What’s stopping them? What happens if they can’t get it? How does it end?” Vagg said.

The wonderful thing about writing for television or film is that you are the master of your universe, you can make anything matter.

Look at Strictly Ballroom - you may have no interest in ballroom dancing but for that hour and a half nothing else mattered but ballroom dancing, Vagg said.

Vagg has been story producer, writer and script editor for serial dramas Neighbours and Home and Away, winning and AWGIE Award for one of his Neighbours scripts.

Stephen Vagg leads the workshop.

Quilters show their creativity in online exhibition

By Abbey Cannan Similar to many other organisations, 2020 has been a challenging year for Noosa Arts & Crafts to keep prospering, as they can no longer hold exhibitions.

This has been a huge disappointment to their members, who always relish an opportunity to showcase their creativity and skill to the local community.

NACA Jan Bentley said their long-awaited quilt exhibition from Wallace House Quilters had to be cancelled.

“It was due to be held this month and takeover the whole of Wallace House,” she said.

“The quilters decided to put their disappointment behind them and put together an online exhibition instead - Celebrating Quilt-

ing 2020 - the A - Z of Quilting Excellence.”

“We have had a series of online art and craft exhibitions in the last five months, but this quilting exhibition is our most ambitious.

“It’s unique and we hope it will attract the interest and appeciation for the exquisite work of our Wallace House Quilters.”

There will be 27 quilters taking part and over 50 quilts are on display.

Jan said the variety of techniques and colours was fascinating with many of the quilts having heart-warming stories that are cherished all over Australia by their family and friends.

The online exhibition will be launched on Tuesday 15 September at https://noosaartsandcrafts.org.au/online-exhibitions/

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Best view in town.

Picture: Supplied

The best view in our town Trevor Pepys reviews Noosa Heads Surf Club Sitting at a front row table on the First Point Deck at Noosa Heads Surf Club on a glorious spring afternoon, sneaking a peek through the trees at the small swell lines wrapping around the point to one side, and across a shimmering Laguna Bay to the long finger of the Cooloola Wilderness on the other, the last place Trevor expected to be transported to was the south of France, but voila!

It was a dreamy kind of afternoon, and sipping on a glass of mellow La Vieille Ferme rosé ($9), a Rhone Valley blend as old as the estate of the famille Perrin that gives it the name, he found himself sitting at a rough wooden bench in front of a bar on the outskirts of a Camargue village, in that crazy land of dark-eyed gypsies, white stallions and pink flamingos. This was a regular stop on the long road journey from the Basque country to the wineries of the Luberon and the Rhone, and monsieur knew that Trev had come to grab a stash of the ridiculously cheap, quasi-legal and immensely quaffable Sable de Camargue ros¨¦s produced in a shed out the back, before heading into the expensive chateaux country.

It’s a long way from the sandy marshes of the Camargue to the deck of the Surfie, but Trev was there in a shot when his duck confit was slid in front of him, its delicious aroma almost sending him back to France, via a few exotic Asian ports. There’s an old line about the better the view, the worse the food, but when you come to the Surfie, you can throw that one right out the window. But we’ll get to the tucker part of the tucker column in a moment - just be patient. First, a word about our sponsor.

From humble beginnings as a swellsmashed tent on a sand dune almost a century ago, the Noosa Heads Surf Club has gone through many incarnations before arriving at its current position as the biggest, airiest, friendliest place in town for a beer and a feed.

But one thing has remained constant - that unbeatable view. Sure, it’s a surf club with a dress code, and Trev can remember years ago being escorted from the premises for throwing a pair of shoes off the balcony to their rightful owner so that he too could secure entry, but under club president Ross Fisher and Supporters Club manager Anton Mogg, the Surfie has 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 September, 2020

become a relaxed and welcoming place for all, even dishevelled surfers and superannuated semi-professional food critics.

It was Ross Fisher who decided to celebrate the club’s history around its walls, first introducing a historic photo montage at the entry stairs, then this year creating the surfboard riding history pillars of the First Point Deck.

Check out Noosa’s colourful surfing history next time you visit.

So here we sit, a duck confit with Asian greens, sweet potato and mandarin sauce ($27) in front of me, a comfort food chicken parmigiana with Napoli sauce, ham cheese melt and chips and salad ($24.50) in front of Mrs Pepys. The duck is a staff recommendation from the blackboard “Surfing Asia” menu, an excellent addition to the Surfie offering that also features prawns and coconut rice in a green Thai curry and a grilled salmon and Asian greens the day of our lunch. But the call from behind the counter is a good one - a crispy-skinned quacker with succulent meat and delicious sweet potato helped along with a tangy sauce. It’s so good, Trev has to sneak in a Japanese lager ($8) to complement it, between his pale rosés.

Meanwhile, the missus wolfs down her parmigiana, declaring it just what the doctor ordered, and leaving so few chips for Trev that he has to order another bowl ($9). And that means there’s time to sneak in a couple more glasses of the delicate pink. Should have bought the bottle!

So, we had meaty feast on this occasion, but it’s worth pointing out that the Surfie has an excellent seafood selection, from the simple and delicious battered flathead and chips, to the legendary iced bucket of Mooloolaba prawns, which need to be washed down with tap beers from the huge and varied selection from local craft to old favourites. In fact I’ve talked myself into heading back for a prawn extravaganza very soon.

The verdict: Friendly service and atmosphere, good, honest tucker with a few exceptional dishes, excellent bar with extensive wine list ... and then there’s that view.

See you at the Surfie!

Local cycling star Palmwoods local and former Kawana High School graduate Taj Jones has become the first member of the Sunshine Coast based Australian Cycling Academy (ACA) to secure a contract with a World Tour Team.

Jones has signed a three year contract with the Israel Start Up Nation World Tour team hot on the heels of multiple Tour de France winner Chris Froome.

ACA Managing Director, Ben Kersten said he was thrilled for Jones who has showed significant improvement in his performances after taking up the sport four years ago and progressing to join the locally based ACA proracing team in early 2019.

“Taj has shown a strong aptitude for hard work, determination and the willingness to learn since joining our team after winning the Queensland u23 Title and numerous National Series top 10’s in 2018. He should be congratulated for his achievement to be the first of our riders to go to what is essentially the highest level in our sport.

“The ACA was created to ensure there was a pathway for developing young riders to turn professional and compete on the national and international stage. It’s certainly validation of our strong ‘Live, Learn and Ride philosophy which Taj has fully embraced and I am certain this is one of the factors which has impressed the powers behind the Israel Start Up Nation team.

“We are very confident that Taj will be the first of many cyclists from the ACA team who will go on to compete at the highest level over the next few years,” Ben said.

In February this year, Jones took out the biggest win of his young career by taking out stage two of the prestigious Tour de Langkawi in Malaysia ahead of World Tour Professional riders Max Walscheid (NTT Pro Cycling) and Jeremy Lecroq (B&B Hotels-Vital Concept).

Ben Kersten said the win was Jones’ biggest of his career to date and was achieved without winning a domestic race.

Taj Jones has become the first member of the Sunshine Coast based Australian Cycling Academy (ACA) to secure a contract with a World Tour Team. leader for the sprint stages at Langkawi and he rose to the occasion and repaid the faith we placed in him,” Ben said.

Taj’s success in Langkawi saw his name propelled amongst international agents before teaming up with former champion racer and rider manager Baden Cooke who secured the contract with the Israel team.

Taj said it felt surreal to be selected by the Israel Start Up National team following such a short stint with the ACA. “It’s incredible to think about where I have come from and where I am heading, to be a part of the same team as a legend like Chris Froome along with other world class riders is exciting and I can’t wait to see where I can take my career under the guidance of a World Tour Team.

“I’m also really appreciative of the ACA team lead by Ben Kersten and Matt Wilson and all the support staff including Henk Vogels, Stu

Shaw and USC based high performance manager Aaron Turner, their guidance and experience in the elite levels of cycling has certainly helped to fast track my progress.

“They’ve made all the mistakes in the past so I don’t have to make them myself which certainly helps fast track my progress. The ACA pathway program is absolutely world class with a strong focus on the cyclists performance on and off the bike and I have no doubt that this philosophy will see other members of the team move to World Tour teams in the next few years,” Taj said.

USC Director, High Performance Sport, Dr Brendan Burkett said the exciting news that Taj has secured a contract with a World Tour Team is another success story for the locally based Australian Cycling Academy.

Taj said he expects to join his Israel Start Up teammates later this year at their base in Girona, Spain.

The Noosa Mens Shed recently had pleasure in donating 70 dog leads to members of the Friends of the Hounds Club.

Friends of the Hound rescues and finds companion homes for around 250 Greyhounds from the racing industry each year.

They are freed from being caged, forced to race in extreme conditions and continually placed at risk of injury and death on the track.

Greyhounds in their care are desexed, vaccinated, wormed and flea treated, and often provided dental treatment and treatment or surgery for injuries.

This all comes at significant cost for the volunteer-based, not-for-profit charity, which receives no funding and relies heavily on fundraising and donations from supporters.

Peter Williams from the Noosa Mens Shed said some of the dog leads, along with materials to construct more when necessary, were donated by a benefactor.

“Some leads were constructed by members of the shed to raise much needed funds,“ he said.

“The donated dog leads will assist Friends of the Hounds in raising funds for this worthwhile organisation.“

The Spin Casey O’Connor

Decision down to the wire The finishing post is in sight for the field of prospective coaches for the Broncos’ gig for 2021 and beyond - not far beyond though, I’d venture to guess, given the last disaster.

Of course, each day the narrative changes - one day Kevvie Walters is a shoo-in, the next he is drifting dramatically and Paul Green is the new favourite.

Or perhaps they will be wooing Craig Bellamy back through the doors?

Will the decision-makers swallow their pride and welcome Wayne back to the fold?

Again, it depends who you listen to.

The Broncos’ commercial department has apparently estimated the value of Bennett working beside Walters to be worth in excess of $2 million in potential commercial opportunities - a very compelling argument for some. On the other hand, others say not until hell freezes over will Bennett return or the club welcome him back to the fold.

It is all good theatre and fodder for debate among fans, journos and commentators who all seem to have the inside scoop.

Then, of course, there are the runners for the CEO’s job. What began as a rumour has grown legs and appears to be on the money.

Soon to be ex-MP Kate Jones is believed to have been among the interviewees last weekend. Apparently she was very impressive and is now said to be one of the front-runners.

Back in the field is Ben Ikin, who has made no secret of his wish for the job, but he should hold on to that seat at the NRL 360 desk for a while longer.

Ikin has been very outspoken on occasions about Bennett (his father-in-law) and some remarks may not have done his chances a great deal of good, according to informed sources.

The board may be looking for a candidate who will bring a fresh set of eyes to the business, and no NRL baggage.

Jones would also bring a wealth of experience and insight through her stint as Minister for Innovation and Tourism Industry Development If that rumour mill can be believed, Jones has firmed as favourite after blowing her opponents out of the water in the interview process. Are the Broncos ready for a woman to lead them out of the despair and disaster that is 2020? Why not.

As the Broncos fight to avoid the wooden spoon, the boardroom antics and recruitments are far more entertaining than the on-field exploits. Now who would ever have predicted that sorry state of affairs at the beginning of 2020?

GET READY TO ROAR, TIGERS FANS Preparations are well underway as the Noosa Tigers get ready to host all four senior preliminary finals this Saturday at their Weyba Road headquarters.

The Coolum Noosa Colts kick off a jampacked day of AFL when they host the Aspley Hornets. The game begins at 9.30am. The combination of the two Sunny Coast clubs, under the guidance of coach Shane Dawes and his support staff, has been extremely successful.

The team has been strong defensively all season, proving hard to score against. That should hold it in good stead as it heads into the finals.

The Tigers’ Reserves wrapped up the home and away season in second place and will play the Coorparoo Kings. The game gets underway at midday and the Reserves will be fighting for a place in the 2020 grand final.

There is much to like about the Ressies side, which has a quality leadership team and plenty of on field leadership to help steer it to consecutive grand final appearances with a win on Saturday.

The main event kicks off at 2.15pm, with the top-of-the-table Tigers taking on Springwood .

Two weeks ago the Tigers gave Springwood a bath and it is no wonder they are unbackable 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 September, 2020

There will be plenty of celebrating if the inaugural Noosa Tigers ladies team wins its preliminary final clash this weekend.

This week we have the chance to pause and reflect on the 20th anniversary of the amazing spectacle that was the Sydney Olympics - “The Best Ever” Olympics.

The Noosa Tigers’ senior side is the short-priced favourite in this week’s preliminary final game against Springwood. The Tiger huddle hopes to be doing plenty of celebrating following the game as it plots the path for back-to-back premierships.

Picture: CRAIG SLANEY favourites here.

Coach Bovalino will be looking for another solid performance as this side continues its quest for back-to-back premierships.

All season there has been a good mix of experience and youth in the team and they have gelled into a very competent side across the board.

The team focus since Round 1 has been firmly on going back-to-back in 2020.

On Saturday they should take a giant stride towards that goal.

For those unable to get to the game, it will be live-streamed on the Noosa Tigers’ Facebook page. The pre footy show will be shown on TigerTV from 1.30pm on Saturday.

If all that excitement is not enough, the ladies play their Preliminary final game against Jindalee, with the match scheduled for a 4.45pm kick-off.

This is the Tigers’ inaugural ladies team and, under the guidance of one of the club’s legends Peter Trompf, they have added another dimension to the club.

There is a great mix of talent among the girls and they are well in the mix to play off for a spot in the grand final. For Tigers fans, the excitement should be building.

AUSSIE FAIL For the second time in a week, the Australian cricketers have capitulated - losing a game they had every right to win.

After hanging on grimly to their number one Twenty20 World ranking last week, the Aussies opened their ODI account with a convincing win over the Poms.

However, on Sunday night (Australian time), chasing 232 to win, they suffered a suffocating loss. Instead of wrapping up the series, they now head into game three at Old Trafford on Wednesday (as this edition goes to

print) with their backs against the wall.

The English bowling attack lit up the ground as wickets fell. But it was not all bad news for the Aussies as their bowlers also had the ball crackling and fizzing and their fielders prowled the in-field like thieves. It was with the bat on a deteriorating pitch that things went sour. Australia’s Finch and Labuschagne needed only play the percentages to bag a win.

But English captain Eoin Morgan called on his ace bowlers Archer and Woakes and the rest, as they say in the classics, is history.

All in all it sets up a mouth-watering encounter in game three, though the Aussies are clearly a long way from their best form at this point.

SPORTSMANSHIP AND KINDNESS ARE STILL ALIVE It is all too rare in this day and age to see acts of real sportsmanship and kindness on the NRL field. But in Round 18, I saw at least three.

How good, and also how proper, was it to see Eels second-rower Ryan Matterson go to the aid of Penrith player Apisai Koroisau?

Koroisau was heavily-concussed during the game on Friday night and Matterson showed real concern and stayed with the hooker until the medicos arrived.

I wish we saw more of this.

The next moment came at full-time in the Raiders versus Dragons game, when Jarrod Croker picked up the game ball and delivered it to the Dragons’ debutant winger, Cody Ramsey.

Croker said just four words: “Congratulations mate - well played.”

The debutant was speechless and said later it meant a great deal to him, and is a moment he will never forget.

Croker was also involved in another act of kindness.

Prior to the game, as he was practising his goal-kicking, one shot cleared the fence and hit a young boy in the face.

Croker raced to check if the youngster was unhurt. It turned out he was the six-year-old son of former Dragons forward Ben Creagh and fortunately he was a little shaken but not hurt.

After the game, Croker made a beeline for the youngster and gave him his headgear.

That’s why Jarrod Croker is one of the NRL’s favourite players, no matter who your support.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? I wonder how many people noticed a runner at Doomben on Saturday called Fisticuffs.

He is a four-year-old gelding by the great sire Redoute’s Choice out of a dam called Sucker Punch, and was an impressive winner of race three. He is trained on the Gold Coast by Toby Edmonds and the gelding was an impressive winner at Doomben on Saturday and now has four wins from his 12 starts. Fisticuffs is owned by a couple of notables - John Singleton and his great mate Tommy Raudonikis. Despite the breeding, it’s not hard to guess where the name Fisticuffs may have come from with Tommy in the ownership.

Mally’s eye is on the cup Mally Jane’s eyesight had become so poor she just couldn’t see the hole. Three putts were normal, and if she tallied only 45 putts in a round she figured she’d done pretty well.

She had a detached retina in the right eye a condition she was told was hereditary - and a cataract on the left. It was all so discouraging that Mally even considered giving up a game she had come to love.

But then she met Dr Ben Fleming, a specialist she describes as her ‘miracle man’. In an operation that took place in the last week of July, Dr Fleming removed the cataract and, in Mally’s words, “tidied up what he could”.

“There wasn’t much anybody could do with the right eye,” Mally said. “But, hey, you only need one good eye to putt.”

Mally’s handicap had drifted out to the mid20s - an embarrassing benchmark for a person who once played off 13.8 and took pride in her golf game.

The eye operation halted the slide. The result was dramatic and instantaneous. Mally could see again.

And the difference was immediately reflected in her performance on the golf course.

At Noosa Springs, where she has been a member for the past three years, Mally won this month’s Monthly Medal, navigating the course in 93 strokes, which equated to a nett 68.

Two days later, and with her handicap appropriately adjusted, she won the Monday members’ Stableford competition with 38 points. “It was such a relief to be playing well again,” she said. “As soon as I could see the putts I believe I was gaining nine or 10 strokes a round. My friends have started calling me a bandit.”

Mally has been on the Sunshine Coast since she retired from her job in Melbourne six years ago.

“It was the best decision I ever made,” she said. “It’s so different in Noosa. The people here are beautiful and they look after each other.”

Mally didn’t start playing golf until she was in her 50s and says she took to the game like a duck to water.

When she moved here she first joined Tewantin-Noosa, where she became the ladies’ captain. A person who relishes being involved in the game, Mally is secretary of the Sunshine Coast zone district council.

She says she loves Noosa Springs. “It’s a wonderful golf course, the members are friendly and the staff are just magnificent,” she said.

Too close to call George Giblett and Toby Harding - tied for the lead going into the final round of the Noosa club championship - will line up again tomorrow after they each shot 71 in the final round last weekend.

The two outstanding golfers played in the same group, as did third placegetter Cooper Clarke. All three shot scores of 71.

Giblett and Harding will compete in an 18-hole playoff for the title tomorrow. And on Sunday the rivals will become team-mates when they line up for Noosa in the postponed A Grade Pennant final, to be played at Caloundra.

Peter’s passion is helping others Perhaps it was his decade of service with the Endeavour Foundation that encouraged Cooroy golfer Peter Kennedy to join forces with former professional Marc Bright and give people with a disability the chance to blossom through the game of golf.

Each fortnight at Cooroy Marc leads a group of up to 20 aspiring golfers who live with some form of disability. He teaches them the basics of the game, encourages them to explore their skills, and uses fun, song and nature to make the experience joyful and rewarding.

With him each time is Peter Kennedy, Cooroy’s newly-crowned A Grade vets champion, who ran his own Noosa-based clothing manufacturing business before offering his services to Endeavour.

It was there that Peter discovered the personal reward of helping intellectually challenged people find their way in the world, learn new skills and explore new interests.

Peter fell in love with golf when he first picked up a club as an 11-year-old at his Blue

Mally Jane can now see the way to golfing success after a successful eye operation.

Mountains home, west of Sydney. When he first came to the Sunshine Coast nearly 30 years ago he joined Tewantin-Noosa, and switched to Cooroy after he moved to Gympie.

He plays each week with the Cooroy vets and has seen his handicap drop to 7.7. But it is encouraging and mentoring disabled golfers that has become his passion.

He became aware of Marc Bright’s work after reading an advertisement in the Cooroy clubhouse.

“I thought I might be able to help and got in touch with him,” he said.

Peter is now working with the Cooroy board to introduce a new annual event - a four-ball Ambrose, with each group comprising two club members teamed with two ‘all abilities’ golfers from Bright’s amazing academy.

“The concept has been approved and we’re now working out the details,” Peter said.

“Our first event will take place later in the year.”

Peter, meanwhile, is basking in the glory of last week’s vets’ triumph.

He shot matching rounds of 75 to just beat Gratham Leatherbarrow for A Grade honours.

The margin could have been greater.

“I was playing really well in the final round,” he said. “With seven holes to go I was two under par.

“But then negative thoughts started to play on my mind and before I knew it I’d hit a ball over the fence.”

Peter steadied, however, for a well-earned win. Ken McKay was the B Grade champion, while Con Russell took the C Grade title and was the overall nett champion.

Dine in style at Relish While Noosa Springs is renowned for its world-

class golf course it is also recognised for the quality of the food prepared by its head chef Aden Moriarty. Relish, the resort’s outstanding restaurant, has just introduced its spring menu, featuring new dishes such as Huon salmon, wasaki veloute, Hervey Bay half shell scallops, bok choy, wasame and toasted sesame.

Its popular lunch and dinner special has also just changed. It now features three delicious prawn dishes and sells for $26, with that price including a glass of wine or beer.

Narrow win for Leith, Elaine The team of Leith Barr and Elaine Hemman hung on to win Cooroy’s Tuesday Club twoperson Ambrose championship by less than a single stroke.

The event was conducted over a fortnight, with teams playing the front nine holes on the first week, and the back nine the following week.

Leith and Elaine were first nine winners with a score of 30.5, and backed that effort up with a 36.5 on the tougher back nine.

They won the title by .75 of a point from Susie Thompson and Eve Hunt, who scored 32.5 the first week, and 35.25 for the second nine.

Coast flavour at US Open Though it’s being played on the other side of the world, there is plenty of Sunshine Coast interest in the US Open, one of the world’s premier golf tournaments, taking place this week at Winged Foot near New York.

The nine-strong Australian contingent includes Adam Scott, whose collection of homes throughout the world includes a beachfront mansion at Sunshine Beach.

Then there’s rising star Lucas Herbert, who lives at Marcus Beach and is coached by Pere-

gian-based mentor Dominic Azzopardi. Like Scott, he was based on the Sunshine Coast for several months while the world’s major golf tours were in recess because of coronavirus.

Cameron Smith, who showed signs of returning to his best form while competing in the recent PGA Tour playoffs, is also prepared by a Sunshine Coast-based coach - Grant Field, from Pelican Waters.

And Scott Hend, the veteran Queenslander, is making a rare appearance in one of the world’s major championships, alongside his long-time caddy, Coolum’s Tony Carolan.

The other Aussies in the field are Jason Day, Matt Jones, Marc Leishman, Curtis Luck and amateur Lukas Michel. The tournament continues until Monday morning, our time.

Tickle tries again Noosa veteran Mark Tickle, seeking any form of competition he can find while the national Legends Tour is in recess until November, lined up in the Windaroo Lakes Pro-Am last week in a field that contained a mix of touring pros, veterans and females.

It wasn’t his best effort, though, with Tickle’s 10 over-par round of 82 good enough for only 36th. Yandina’s Brad Burns shot a one-over 73 to be tied for ninth. Brett Rankin won the event with an excellent 67.

Kirk in the mix again Riding a month-long wave of great form, Sunshine Beach’s Katherine Kirk came within a few strokes of taking a major championship this week on the women’s PGA Tour in California. Playing in the last group, Kirk shot a final round of one over-par par 73, to go with earlier rounds of 72, 67 and 67, in the ANA Inspiration tournament. She finished seventh - six strokes behind winner, Mirim Lee, of South Korea, who win in playoff.

River turns up the heat This week we definitely saw a change in the season, with the first downpours hitting the Sunny Coast. Offshore, before the winds, things were certainly showing good signs with some solid cobia and yellowtail kingfish coming off various wrecks in the region. We also have had some great entries into our September snapper competition, so please keep up the great work!

Out wide midweek the charters hit the Double Island reefs and came up trumps with snapper, pearl perch, cobia and other reefies including tuskies and sweetlip. This area also holds amberjacks so if you want to try jigging of any kind these fish will fight all the way to the boat and on light gear you really get your arms stretched. The Shimano Wonderfall jigs are excellent for this style of fishing, so be sure to grab some while we have them as jigging becomes more popular.

North reef was also a popular destination for snapper and pearlie anglers, with most fish sitting around the low to high 70cm mark.

These fish love soft plastics and it is no secret that snapper love grub-style plastics. The Gulp 6 inch grub is a classic snapper plastic with lots of scent and great tail action. Pair these with 6/0-7/0 jigheads in the 3/8th-1 1/2oz range and see what you can catch.

The surf fishing has been producing a mixed bag of whiting and small bream, as well as dart and the odd sandy flathead. Fish light with 10ft, 6kg setups for these fish and use small mullet, pipi and beach worm as bait. The river mouth and rock groynes are the best spot once the swell drops and is safe to do so.

With the wild weather the focus has shifted to the river and there has been something on offer for most. The Noosa River has become popular and the species list has been very broad. The recent rains will certainly push the bait and the fish down towards the mouth, so efforts should be concentrated around this area. Also the mud crabs will be on the move so come and pick up on our four-pot deal and ask us where to go. For those of you who use lures, heavy vibration lures are the go. For soft plastic anglers then 3-4 inch paddle tails with heavy scent like Keitech and Squidgy prawns loaded with scent will do the damage on the bream, flathead and even the odd school sized jewfish. Bait anglers will do well with whole fish baits and cut pilchard baits allowed to gently drift in the current.

Freshwater will be quieter as Lake MacDonald is now overflowing from the big dump of rain. This will see the fish adjusting to the cooler water, which is nutrient-rich so they should be feeding hard as of next week. Borumba is under 90% capacity and did not receive as much rain so is more stable. For most anglers vibes and spoons will get the job done on the bass. Larger slow troll lures like Samaki redic and RMG will

While the dams settle into their new levels, be sure to try areas where water flows into it. Often fish will move into any areas of current looking for a feed and will stay

Dolphins put on a show UNDER 9S The under 9s met a well-drilled Matthew Flinders team at the breakdown, but they were no match for our ball skills and tenacious tackling, which prevented them from scoring any tries against us. We supported the ball well with tries to Callan, Jack, George, Will S and Henry. There was awesome tackling on display from everyone, especially Jack and Luke who earned the Domino’s Pizza player of the match. Most improved were George, Ryder, and Mac who gave their all during the game.

UNDER 10S The Noosa Fins had a terrific game on Saturday, winning 19-17 over Maroochydore. Right before half-time the Fins were down 12-0, but Alex Bingham came in with his first try of the season right under the post and then he kicked the conversion to take the score at half-time to 12-7.

In the second half, Harrison Perkins rumbled over the try line and it was converted by Jacob Kain. Then Maroochy scored but it wasn’t converted, taking the score to 17-14 to Maroochydore. In the last minutes of the game, the Fins desperately needed a try to win, then out of nowhere Jacob Kain had a wonderful intercept and ran 20 metres to score and win the game for the Fins - 19-17. A special mention to Jack Shaw and Conner Lee for their Domino’s players of the match performances, both playing a great game. Let us do it again next week, Fins - on home turf.

UNDER 11 REDS The Dolphins’ Under 11 Reds played the Eumundi Dragons at Maroochydore and defeated them 39-14. It was a solid win against a determined opposition. Our commitment to passing across multiple teammates in attack was well-evidenced and opened up most of our try scoring opportunities, as well as some busting individual runs. Coach Roger Lee had some encouraging words to the boys at halftime. Harry also had a fantastic game showing

The under-9s were tenacious players

A great piece of play by under-13s his strength in the scrum, as did Xavier who put his training focus points in to great match play, as well as bagging his first try and a well deserved Domino’s Pizza player of the match award.

UNDER 11 FINS

By Albie Keil The Fins came out firing, displaying good hands, great ball retention and stringing together multiple phases, which ended with Lachie Walker dotting down after a clean line break and some fancy footwork on his way to score under the post. Archie Williamson kicked the conversion. At 7-0 down, Grammar was able to bounce back, zig-zagging their way up the field and camping at the Fins’ five-metre line, stringing together some phases of their own. They eventually scored after a penalty tap and a crash try, which was converted to level 7-7. The Fins quickly seized the momen-

The under-9s shone tum back with Jackson scoring a 10-metre fight to the tryline against three Grammar players.

Archie W converted a somewhat challenging kick with ease, to put us 14-7 up. Devereux quickly scored to get the Fins up 19-7.

The second half started just like the first, with a try scored. This time it was Archie Vassallo breaking out of half, carving and weaving his way through three would-be tacklers on his way to a brilliant individual try.

Grammar showed great resilience and was up for the fight, now with the gale force behind them (and after having it out with each other under the post) managed to settle down and focus on scoring back-to-back possessions by getting it out to their wings and exposing the Fins’ compromised discipline out wide with both Grammar wingers allowed to get on the outside to score tries. One was converted and they were back in the game, down 24-21. The

energised Fins regrouped and went to work with Jackson stealing some timely lineout balls to set the Fins up in Grammar’s half. Quick thinking from Archie V to tap and run and Archie W to straighten saw Deveueux picking and going, slamming the ball down for the final try of the game which also slammed the door shut for any late game come back from Grammar.

Final Score 29-19 to the Fins. Domino’s Pizza player of the match went to Archie Williamson.

UNDER 17 COLTS With only 18 of our usual 26 squad able to play, we expected it was going to be a tough match last Friday night. Playing Maroochydore on their home turf, our Junior Colts try-scorers included Matt Brice (2), Lachie Campbell (2) and Ethan Pohlner. These pooled with conversions by co-captain Reon Fortington (3) and Matt Brice (1), to give us a 33-5 victory.

TNT begins with a bang

By Randall Woodley The Tewantin-Noosa Thunder first grade team started the 2020-2021 season with a win. Playing its old rival, the Gympie Gold, at Read Park last Saturday in a Twenty20 match, the home side showed it is going to be very competitive this season under its new coaching regime.

The first XI team this season is made up of a mixture of experienced players and some younger, emerging cricketers.

Winning the toss, TNT decided to bat first and openers Chris Wright and Alex Bennett started strongly scoring at nearly eight runs an over. Wright was out LBW for 42, scored off 28 balls (seven fours and a six) in the seventh over with the score on 58. Bennett was joined

by Jarrod Officer but the young batsman was out for 19 with the score on 78. Officer contin-

ued the scoring splurge and after the allocated 20 overs he remained unbeaten on 56 (eight fours). Andrew Kratzmann also contributed a quick fire 21 to the team’s innings. The TNT’s total of 3/148 was the highest 20-over score recorded by any of the Sunshine Coast’s eight first grade teams playing on Day 1 of the T20 matches.

Gympie began its innings well, keeping up with the required run rate but when Scott Aufderheide took the first wicket in the fifth over, the scoring rate slowed. Wickets fell regularly with tight bowling and excellent fielding and the Gold boys struggled to regain the ascendancy. At the finish they were 5/125, still 23 runs behind the required target. The best bowling figures for TNT were that of Jake Dennien (2-19 off three overs), Scott Aufderheide (1-18 off four overs) and Jason Toohey (1-17 off two). The pleasing highlights of the match

The TNT First XI team after its win against Gympie. were the confidence shown by the batsmen, the first-class fielding (catching and throwing) and the wicket-keeping of teenager Cody Pyne in his debut in this role for the team (no byes and two stumpings).

Most of the other first grade teams played two matches on Saturday but TNT will need to

reschedule its night match against Nambour over the next couple of weeks. Next Saturday the team travels south to Caloundra to play two T20 matches, the first at 9.30am against Caboolture Snakes and then at 1.30pm against Caloundra Lighthouses. The series of T20 matches will continue to early October before the two-day fixtures commence.

A Royle win Australian Olympic triathlete Aaron Royle has won his first Ironman 70.3 race, taking victory in the men’s field at Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast, with multiple winner Amelia Watkinson claiming top spot on the podium in the women’s race.

Royle edged out Queensland’s Max Neumann by less than a minute, with the two shadowing each other over the 1.9 kilometre swim, 90km ride and 21km run, with Josh Amberger crossing the line in third.

New South Welshman Royle, who has based himself in Queensland in the lead up to the event, took out his first Ironman 70.3 title in just his second attempt at the distance.

“To be honest I was pretty scared for most of that race, it’s only my second half distance race and the whole time I just expected myself to blow up,” Royle said.

“Full credit to Max, he led that whole run and I sat in behind him and with about 3km to go I gave it a bit to see what the legs had left and luckily they had a bit left in them.

“It’s been a tough year, the Olympics were supposed to go ahead and they were the main aim. Then 12 hours before the borders shut six weeks or so ago I made the mad dash to be in the state because that’s where I knew the races would be and have been hanging out here keeping my fingers crossed that the race could go ahead.

“Even though we haven’t raced all that much, the body is quite tired. One thing with this year is that we normally go in and out of races and that’s where the recovery is.

“We haven’t had that so I actually got quite tired and have a few little niggles that I’ve had to overcome, so I might take this opportunity to finish the year quite early, have a break and let the body recovery. It’s hopefully going to be a big year next year.”

Amberger led the field back onto Mooloolaba Beach after the 1.9km swim, with Royle and

Neumann moving into first and second by the completion of the bike course.

Royle and Neumann edged away over the run, with Royle making his break for victory in the closing stages.

Queensland-based New Zealander Amelia Watkinson added another Ironman 70.3 victory to her impressive resume, coming across the line ahead of 2019 Ironman World Championship podium finisher Sarah Crowley and Rio 2016 Olympic Games representative Ashleigh Gentle.

“It’s definitely been a long time, and has been mentally strenuous for everyone, but training through has really paid off and I’m thrilled being out there doing what we’re supposed to do,“ Watkinson said.

“The race was actually quite interesting, three of us were out of the water together, I think the others had a slightly better exit on the wave than me but straight out onto the bike I managed to take the lead after about 15km and kept that till the very end.

“We’re really lucky here in Queensland that we’ve got Ironman Cairns next, that will be just my second full distance Ironman ever, hoping for a Kona qualification up there in two weeks’ time.”

Australian Olympian Gentle was first out of the water, just ahead of Watkinson and Crowley, with Kiwi Watkinson moving into the lead on the Sunshine Motorway during the bike leg.

Watkinson didn’t look back from there, eventually taking the win from Crowley by just over three minutes.

Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast is the first Ironman event to take place in Oceania since the Covid-19 pandemic was declared, with the event operating under an approved Covid-Safe Event Plan.

NOOSA AFL Saturday, 19th September 2020

A grade captain Brandon Mayhew and vice-captain Will Rogers with the John Currey Shield.

Dolphins on winning side A Grade: Noosa d Maroochydore 14-10 The 13th annual John Currey Memorial Shield - played in memory of Swans life member, former captain and player-coach John Currey, who played over 200 Grade games for Maroochydore during the period 1988-2001 - was once again a fierce battle between longstanding rivals Noosa and Maroochydore. After last year’s defeat the Ray White Noosa Dolphins were champing at the bit to regain the JC shield in front of the ‘Back to Noosa Day’ home crowd, but a determined Maroochydore side challenged every part of the Dolphins’ plan. Maroochydore was the first to stamp its authority before the might of Noosa’s Jarrad Postle brought the crowd to its feet with his try. A successful conversion by Will Christie gave the Dolphins a half-time 7-5 lead. A tense second half followed after another Maroochydore try, until a little fancy footwork from the recent Dolphins Gift footrace winner Jacob ‘Sparky’ Spark provided another opportunity for Noosa. Spot on again with the boot, Will Christie delivered the extra points. The Dolphins managed to hold on to their 14 to 10 lead until the final whistle.

Noosa Rugby would like to thank the Currey family for all that they contribute to this wonderful day. The Little Sister Noosa player of the match went to Ross Kirtland.

Reserve Grade: Noosa d Maroochydore 43-7 After coming off their first loss of the season, the Ray White Noosa Dolphins Reserve Grade team had two weeks of built up frustration and disappointment to unleash.

Standing in their way was a determined Maroochydore outfit. The first half saw the team put on an absolute clinic of a performance, with the forwards giving perfect ball presentation at the back of the ruck for Ryan Frisby and Jay Moffat to lead the team around the park. This led to big prop Aaron Burden ranging out-wide to create headaches for the Dore’s midfield backs. Paddy Lalor found himself in an unfamiliar position of being in the kick-off return team but did well finding space for his wingers with some silky passing skills. The back three of Nat Forrest, Callum Deering and Taylor Moffat showed why this team can pile on the points, finishing every opportunity presented to them, even from 60 metres away from the try line. Tore Shaw may have been seeing double from a big Friday night, crossing the try line four times. Unfortunately the referee saw it differently and only awarded him two tries. The half-time score was 29-0. The second half was a little different, as the team didn’t manage to score for the first 20 minutes but eventually dotted down for two more tries to finish out the game. The score was extended by new golden boot Callum Deering, slotting 5 from 5 including an incredible kick into the wind from the sideline. Great line speed and tackling technique after a training week of belting each other helped the Dolphins keep Maroochydore to only one try.

9.30am Colts/U18 • Coolum Noosa Tigers VS Aspley @ Noosa 11.45am Reserves Men • Noosa Tigers vs Coorparoo @ Noosa 2pm Seniors • Noosa Tigers vs Springwood @ Noosa 4.45pm Womens • Noosa Tigers Women vs Jindalee @ Noosa

The Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers host all four senior preliminary finals this Saturday at their Weyba Road headquarters in what is a truly massive day for the club. The day starts with the Coolum Noosa Colts, who play the Aspley hornets from 9.30am. The Shane Dawescoached side has been exemplary this season, with a merger between the two Sunny Coast clubs working beautifully.

Assistant coach and Noosa stalwart David Carroll said the boys have just gelled superbly. We are really strong in defence, where it is evident we are hard to score against and I reckon that holds us in great stead hitting the finals this weekend.

The Tigers’ reserves finished second on the ladder after the home and away season and will play the Coorparoo Kings from midday for a place in this year’s grand final. The ressies have been strengthened by the return of Connor Templeton and Daniel Bench over the past fortnight and are sure to have some experience back from the seniors if Buntain and Langan come up as expected.

Garry Wallace has been superb for the ressies all year, as has Benny Fuller and if you throw in ‘Snowy’ Thornton and skipper Nosa James, there is plenty of quality leadership on field to steer Tony Brennan’s boys to a second consecutive grand final by 2pm on Saturday.

And, of course, the main game at 2.15pm sees the top of the table Noosa Tigers up against perrenial finals contender Springwood - a side which only two weeks ago the Tigers comprehensively thumped. With an on-ball brigade featuring McDonald, Meredith, Laskey, Fraser, Hutchison, Fitzpatrick and Stack, it’s little wonder the Tigers start raging favourites.

Down back Maher has been brilliant, with Stevens and Brain providing the skill and run needed out of defence, while Buntain, O’Dywer, McCrimmon and Maccy Johnston conitinue to repel everything that comes their way.

Up forward Ben Collins’ experience and guile has meant that young guns Harper, Langan and Rogers can become true focal points and if the ball hits the ground then no one has the cleverness and poise of young stars Will O’Dwyer and Mav Pettigrove.

Across the board the Noosa boys are a very competent outfit, and after watching training last Saturday morning you could see and hear the electricity of finals - albeit in a much shortened and quite unfamiliar year. All year coach Bovalino has used the ‘back-to-back’ mantra but first thing’s first, we must get there - Starting with the Pumas this week. The game starts at 2.15 pm and will be live streamed on the Noosa Tigers’ Facebook page. Our pre-footy show on TigerTV will go to air from 1.30pm on Saturday. And if that’s not enough, our ladies also play their preliminary final against Jindalee from 4.45 pm. Our first ever women’s team - under the tutelage of club legend Peter Trompf - has done nothing but excited the Tiger faithful and added so much to the fabric of our footy club as a whole. Cass Hoerksra and Reagan Mills have been awesome for the women throughout the season, while youngster Teesh Fox and the Trompf girls have been excellent also and are a big reason why the Tigers girls have this chance to play off for a grand final berth. It’ll be a massive day at Tigerland this Saturday, and I can’t wait!

Come and Try Pickleball

By Ron Lane Before we start talking sport, I think that it is only right that we take a moment in time to say a big thank you to all those council staff, club officials, coaches mums and dads, supporters and sponsors who have stood by their people, both in the past and in this the most difficult of times.

The recent Noosa Council adult “Come ‘n Try” active timetable is to be applauded.

Not only does it supply all the relevant information regarding joining, but in particular it gives new sports, such as Pickleball, great exposure. Also, it makes the grey brigade aware that there is yet another sport at their fingertips.

This sport is definitely starting to grow - not only in Noosa but also in other areas.

For example, Brisbane now has Pickleball centres in Newmarket, Coorparoo, East Brisbane and Chandler. For those interested, the Noosa club will hold its next tournament on Saturday, 10 October at the Noosa Leisure Centre in Noosaville.

This will be run in a round robin format with semi-finals and finals - men’s and women’s doubles in intermediate and advanced divisions. Registration will be at 11am, with a warm up at 11.30, with play commencing 12 noon. Visitors are welcome.

Regarding its growth, the date 10.10.2020 is now being officially recognised as World Pickleball Day by the governing body, the World Pickleball Federation, based in America. It’s a day dedicated to global expansion.

The hard job of fundraising for country sporting organisations is, of course, taking a massive hit from the necessary, but vital, health regulations. One of the latest to suffer is the local Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club.

Because of the regulations regarding crowd sizes, they have been informed that the annual Rodeo, their biggest fundraising event of the year, has been cancelled.

It was in the year 2000 that the Rodeo was first held, and what a success. It’s a complete family affair, a real winner for all involved; a great fundraiser and for a lot of young locals the first time they look at such an event. And also, it’s another great promotion for the community. This is only the second time in 20 years that the event has been cancelled; with the other occasion because of torrential rain.

In a move to compensate for this, Pirates will - on 24 October - host the first ever Pirates NRL Grand Final luncheon. This will be held at Saw and Mill Restaurant in Cooroy; the town that proudly lays claim to being the birth place of the Pirates Rugby League. Tickets will be from $95, all inclusive. The special guest will be Moses Mbye, the Wests Tigers’ NRL captain and Queensland State of Origin star, and Jason Hetherington. It’s good to see Moses Mbye and Jake Friend, both former Noosa Pirates, in the Queensland State of Origin Squad.

There will be memoribla, auctions, raffles and give aways and, of course, lots of yarns and laughter. And all of this will be under the control of master of ceremonies, Matt Collins.

It starts at 12 and goes untill 3pm, with the menu being a two-course meal plus drinks.

This will be followed by another function at the Noosa Pirates’ clubhouse in Tewantin.

Starting at 5pm this will feature the NRL Grand Final Calcutta draw for the first try scorer in the grand final. Seats will be limited to 100.

“The reason for referring to the luncheon as the first ever is that hopefully it will be the start of a new tradition; a tradition that will see us united as never before, an atmosphere of goodwill and club spirit,” said club general manager Brett Winkler.

Out on the playing field, the junior division goes from strength-to-strength with players from under-6 to under-18 being catered for.

Friday nights will see two games at Pirate Park and Saturday at the Cooroy grounds, with a total of ten games on the agenda. As always, a big thank you to the parents: the unsung heroes of all sporting clubs.

Despite the A Grade team being out for the season, the senior club and the junior division is now united as never before. The improvements to the clubhouse, lighting facilities and grounds definitely create a positive atmosphere: and now with the two clubs working and playing together as one anything is possible. Add to this, the major sponsors are still

Poly Va’a Club members Laihaina Luna (Fijian), head coach Frank Tofa (Samoan), and president Eddie Jensen (Rotuman). One third of the club have a Polynesian heritage.

on-board and some new people have now been added to the list. Thank you, once again, to the regulars.

The Pirates’ executive has set the date for the big one - the annual general meeting.

This is always the most important meeting for any sport, but this year it won’t be easy.

With the health regulations being what they are, all major decisions, when finalised, will require the total support of all involved.

Most important will be to approach the season with an open mind. A big attendance of the general members is essential - this will give those elected the feeling that they have the support of the members.

Remember, a good AGM will usually be the start of a good year, and the date for the big one is Sunday, 1 November from 10am. All the best to all involved.

Last Friday night was a worry for the Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club. It was raining and Saturday was to be their biggest day for months. This was their day to host their second event since March, and with the added health problems, a day of rain wouldn’t help.

However, all went well. It was a beautiful Noosa day and the 18 visiting clubs that assembled at Noosaville’s Chaplin Park had everything they wished for.

“We are very happy with the outcome,” said club spokesman Craig Harris. “The attendance is good and, above all, everyone has complied with all the Coved regulations. From the Noosa Coast Guard, we had two duty boats for river patrol, and to keep everyone informed in the park team area an excellent public address system was set up. This was absolutely necessary as it was essential for all paddlers to be reminded of the spray down system. Necessary after every race, this was a major factor in the health regulations. Immediately after a race, with the adrenaline and excitement still pumping, it would be easy to forget.”

The clubs came from far and wide: from

The first-placed Poly Va’a crew in the Mixed Masters 5km race.

Burrum Heads in the Fraser Coast Region to Redcliffe in the Morton Bay Area. For the Burrum Heads club it was indeed a great effort considering, it only has 13 members. But they were there and gave it their all. Another club of interest was the Polynesian Va’a-alo Outrigger Canoe Club, which is situated in the Shorncliffe Area. Now in its sixth year, it has 50 members and is very proud of its mixed race. “We have Samoan, N.Z. Cook Island, Maori, Fijian, Rotuman, PNG, Aussies, Kiwis and one Pom,” the secretary added with a laugh.

It was quite obvious that, for club secretary

Steve Tomoana, his club position is definitely one of life’s pleasures. Noosa men’s coach, Des Mabbott, was very happy overall.

“Our visitors were very happy with the way the regatta was run,” he said.

“It was extremely well-organised and there were no holdups. With the extreme regulations enforced on us, it was good to get this feedback.

“Regarding the competition as a whole, the team went well and as a coach I was very pleased. All in all, it was a successful regatta.”

Ray is painting the dream Since he moved to Noosa from Los Angeles a dozen years ago, industrial designer Ray Smith has been living the dream - and now he’s painting it.

Working from his home studio on an idyllic hinterland acreage, the veteran South African-born surfer has developed a unique style he calls ‘Wavescapes Reimagined’, based on a lifetime of watching waves break and applying his design sensibilities to rendering them as aesthetic abstractions. And, judging by sales at the Nissarama Gallery on Hastings Street, Ray’s wavescapes are reaching a market far beyond just we surf tragics.

It’s been an interesting life transition for Ray and his fashion designer wife Jocelyn (also a Saffa) since they made the move to Noosa with daughter Molly in 2008. We’ve known the family for decades, and when we lived in California we would occasionally spend weekends at their lovely Los Feliz bungalow. Come dawn on Saturday, we’d leave the girls to mess around with fabrics and such while Ray and I were off down the freeway on a surf mission.

More often than not we’d end up surfing LA’s ugliest but most consistent break, El Porto, right next to the seaward runways of LAX. Apart from the smell of avgas and the deafening roar of jetliners, it was fun. But this was not the stuff of dreams. Ray had a successful industrial design business based in Pasadena.

He was a busy man and a classic weekend warrior - relishing every moment spent drawing lines on waves rather than on drawing boards or computers. When we did a week-long surf trip to Puerto Escondido, Mexico, he was like a kid in a candy shop. His joy was palpable.

His design firm had plenty of big assignments, but one of Ray’s favourites was reimagining the simple mountain and wave logo of Quiksilver, then the biggest surf company in 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 September, 2020

Deep Indigo in situ. the world, and the one I happened to be working for in California. At Quiksilver, we knew Ray’s slick interpretation of the marque as the “engineered logo” because it was so polished and professional (it’s the one you can see on the nose of Kelly Slater’s board through most of his professional career).

Picture: Supplied Who knew that Ray Smith would be spending his golden years reimagining waves in an entirely different and captivatingly beautiful way?

But in another way, he’s recapturing his surfing youth, growing up in Durban and making trips through the 1960s and ‘70s to Jeffrey’s

Bay and Cape St Francis, still sand dunes and bush, and coming home to sketch his adventures in pen, ink and water colours. These days he searches for surf most days, often finding a lonely peak along the eastern beaches, or an overlooked section on the points, then beating it back to the studio to work on a wavescape.

He says: “I have spent much of my professional life creating and developing ideas for the products of consumerism. My chosen field of work demanded discipline, creative vision, and professional integrity, and to balance this I fostered my love of ocean, wind, and sky through surfing.”

The move to Noosa was part of that quest for balance. Says Ray: “We were seeking new life values, and the shift in environment and culture provided that. The unique combinations of geographic features here - rainforest meets ocean (Noosa Heads), pristine open beaches (Castaways), and primitive vistas (Double Island Point) - captured my imagination and sent my mind soaring. The natural visual aesthetic of the region inspires my wavescape paintings.”

He continues: “Crafting interpretive abstract areas of textured colour, punctuated with an imaginary single wave peeling off through the composition, I have re-imagined a surfer or swimmer’s unique viewpoint from water level. With no horizon line, the viewer’s focus is drawn to the dynamic energy of the wave form created by swell, ocean floor contour, and wind. The infinite combinations of these primal elements are the subject of my obsession, expressed through my art form.”

“We are away,’’ he said. “It’s time to set sail.’’

With the level of inquiry on the apartment and offers prior, he suggested a figure somewhere around $800,000.

Otherwise as conservative as 750.

That invited $775,000 on the phone and $800,000 from the bidder on site.

With just the two dueling, bidding got to $900,000, then strategies came into play 910, 925, 930 “Is it 950 perhaps?’’ the auctioneer suggested, but it was 945 in the room.

“In for 50?’’

Yes ... 955, 956.

“They wouldn’t go 60?’’ the auctioneer asked.

Instead, the answer was 961, then 962 on the phone.

“I’m not going to dare suggest a number ... is it 965?’’

Yes, then 966, 970.

Finally, after 25 bids, it was sold for $1.001m. To the local buyer who will keep it in the rental pool in the short term at least.

LOCATION, POTENTIAL APPEALS The second Noosaville apartment auction was an on-line event at 2pm with Scott Cowley of Dowling Neylan.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse 2/3 Nola St also had interstate and local bidding, this time from $850,000.

Neat and tidy but offering potential for improvement, it was all about location close to Noosa River, Gympie Terrace and Noosaville shopping.

It sold on the day for $1.010m.

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED One of more highly anticipated real estate opportunities for some time, the threebedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 4 Ernest St, Tewantin, attracted a good crowd on Saturday afternoon.

Tiffany Wilson of Tom Offermann Real Estate had seen 60-plus inspections throughout the campaign - countless on-line tours as well as face-to-face inspections.

There was an absentee bidder as well as two on site.

“It’s a champagne day,’’ auctioneer Gordon Macdonald suggested. “Buyer inquiry has gone through the roof.’’ as well as on. Passed in $1.7m, continuing negotiations “Mid $1m is my suggestion to get things under way.’’

There was a start of $1.450m on the right followed by a $1.5m vendor bid.

215443

“We are quite prepared to go to negotiations,’’ the auctioneer said.

“Putting the cat among the pigeons I will put a figure of $1.7m as an indication of where the property sits.’’

There was an increase in bidding during talks under auction conditions but in the interests of buyers and sellers it was announced they would continue those discussions in private.

PRESTIGE AND POSITION Imika Neylan of Dowling Neylan had more than 60 inquiries plus inspections on the two-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront townhouse at 4/106 Noosa Pde, Noosaville.

Little wonder that it sold prior to the auction scheduled for September 5.

The townhouse was snapped up by a Tasmanian buyer who had holidayed there in recent years, so knew it and the area well.

“They were familiar with the location,’’ Imika said, “and loved the volume and space of this townhouse.

“This was more accommodating for families rather than the holiday units in the area.

“They will furnish it and rent it out, use it as a stepping stone into the market.’’

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 22 The Quarterdeck, Noosa Heads, is listed at offers over $1,500,000.

!

TWO auctions of apartments in Noosaville at the weekend both underlined the strength of the Noosa property market.

Both offered three bedrooms and both sold for more than $1m ... just.

The first was at midday - an on-site auction at 1 Sandy Beach, 173 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, with Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate.

With good attendances at open homes and inquiries in the lead-up to the auction, there were registered bidders on the phone as well as on the floor.

The two-level, three-bedroom, threebathroom townhouse was in the north-east corner of the resort, with views from both levels across parkland to the river.

Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald reminded that the best bidding strategy was to be in front when the hammer fell.

No sooner had he invited offers than the whistle of the river ferry sounded.

Imika had four offers in the three weeks from when the marketing program was launched.

It is blue chip property and there was a mix of interest, from those wanting to live in it to renting it out.

Now Imika has listed a two-badroom, two-bathroom apartment at 6/7 Peza Court, Noosa Heads.

It’s a single-level apartment on the top floor of the complex and has been refurbished to a really high standard.

Enjoying the favoured north-east corner of the complex, it has water views towards Noosa Hill as well as to the south-east where there is a bushland backdrop on the opposite banks of the waterway.

“The refurbishment feels like you are in an apartment at Serenity Close.

“The complex has extensive grounds, great facilities.

“Very private … mostly owners who use it for personal holidays …

It is being offered fully furnished so it is good for holiday rental.

Being in Peza Ct you have the amenities in Quamby Place yet you can easily walk to Gympie Tce or Hastings St. PRIVACY IN CENTRAL LOCATION Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate is receiving a massive amount of inquiries on the elevated, architect-designed house at 22 The Quarterdeck, Noosa Heads.

The house offers three-plus bedrooms, two bathrooms and one-plus car parking.

Within an easy walk down to the beach, Hastings St and Noosa Junction, it is a very private home with outstanding views to Noosa Sound, river, Lake Weyba and the hinterland, Melanie said.

“The massive wrap-around decks are perfect for taking in the views and outstanding sunsets. “We are receiving a large amount of internet inquiries from southern buyers.

“Local buyers who are able to view in person recognise the quality of this very well maintained and much-loved home.

“The pool terrace is very generous and ideal for entertaining.

“Many southern buyers are positioning themselves in Noosa now with a view of relocating in the future.’’

The upper level features timber floors and raked ceilings, while three bedrooms on the lower level all open out to the wide, covered decks.

A two-badroom, two-bathroom apartment at 6/7 Peza Court, Noosa Heads, has just come onto the market. 215443 It features 6kW solar panels, security, and the 616sq m block is fully fenced.

Listed at offers over $1.5m, this is a stand-out property in a prime Noosa Heads location.

SUNNY OUTLOOK Designed by Gabriel Poole and a 400-metre downhill walk to Hastings St, naturally Jill Goode of Tom Offermann Real Estate has been getting good inquiry on the threebedroom, two-bathroom apartment 1 Alkira, 31 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads In a complex of three and with its own pool, the apartment is scheduled for auction on Saturday, September 26, at midday.

“Inquiry has been mostly from Melbourne,’’ Jill said, “with some from Sydney.

“Locals have shown interest, mainly for downsizing.

“It’s a fabulous position with good sized pool and deck for sunbathing.

“There is an elevator keyed to your floor, two-car garaging and a brilliant outdoor kitchen area … even a wine cellar.

“It is in fantastic condition with good security … perfect to lock-and-leave.’’

Alkira features the clean lines synonymous with Gabriel Poole. This apartment has a wonderful indoor-outdoor feel to it.

Stone floors, high ceilings, plantation shutters and banks of louvres that have been designed as breezeways.

PARKRIDGE IN DEMAND Noosa’s property market has always been

a safe haven for national and international investors and according to the latest REIQ data there is no sign of demand abating as southern and international buyers look for investment opportunities within lifestyle destinations outside Covid hotspots.

Recent research data reveals that the Noosa house market has recorded one of the biggest gains in South east Queensland with 44.1% growth over the past five years and a median price of $800,000.

The growth is supported by the Sunshine Coast’s buoyant local economy which is backed by major infrastructure investment, strong population and job growth along with Noosa’s enviable lifestyle.

On the back of this, Sunshine Coast development company Altum Property Group has sold what they describe as the “jewel in the crown’’ of their Parkridge Noosa mixed-use development with one of the region’s largest single-level penthouses selling within the first week of release.

After having been listed at $4.45m, it was bought by a Sunshine Beach couple.

With 300 sq m of internal living and 100sq m of balcony space, the top-floor penthouse is the size of a home.

Altum Property Group director Alex Rigby said while it was pleasing to sell the signature penthouse, there was still a broad selection of apartments to choose from after the release of the third and final stage of the project.

There are also other penthouse apartments up to 260sq m available, also boasting views along with exquisite design

NEW STOCK BYRON SOFA’S

and quality appointments.

Sales manager Jeremy Gilmore said Parkridge Noosa had recorded $15m in sales in just under three weeks.

“We are certainly in a sweet spot in the market at the moment as buyers look to make important lifestyle decisions in the current Covid environment.

“They particularly love the design of the spacious apartments and our proximity near everything Noosa has to offer has strong appeal.’’

The third stage includes two, three and four-bedroom apartments with prices starting at $749,000.

ON THE COVER

WATERFRONT PARADISE ON NOOSA SOUND PICTURE a lavish nautically edged, Hampton’s-inspired house-size hideaway with a beach on the pages of a glossy magazine. Imagine the absolute waterfront on Noosa Sound is yours? Easy. Just bring the boat, sunscreen, and fundamentals.

Everything else is here.

Halcyon days begin at the front entrance with a unique dose of cool factor whilst maintaining the perfect resort-meetsclassic look. Lofty VJ-profile coffered ceilings, limestone floors, plantation shutters, generous individually styled open-plan living, dining and casual lounging spaces with custom cabinetry, also stunning furniture, mirrors, and accessories, add to the aesthetic treat.

Next level bragging rights come into play when the banks of glass sliders seemingly disappear, revealing a massive terrace commensurate in length to the waterfront and exclusive-use white-sand beach. The latter, totally unaffected by high or low tides, stretches further along.

From the dream alfresco terrace, taking postcard position centre stage, in the glistening clear waterway, is an oversize jetty. It has a trailer boat launch facility, is the ideal possie for reeling in tailor and whiting, launching the kayak, and sundowners with friends is a shore thing.

Beyond the jetty, a panorama of multiple, wide, turquoise-hued Noosa River waterways dotted with pleasure craft, melds with the lush green backdrop on the far side as well as a nearby park.

Ensuring entertaining is a breeze indoors and out, the timeless Hampton’s inspired kitchen has Wyer + Craw premium custom cabinetry, stone-topped island/ breakfast bar, barn-door pantry, wine

fridge plus the latest whizz-bang Miele appliances.

On the easterly side is a fully equipped laundry, bathroom, and access from the garage via a courtyard.

Upstairs it is all about the serenity, with four bedrooms, four ensuites, Hampton’s inspired cabinetry, balconies, views and more.

The twin and king-size suites on the north-side share a balcony overlooking the resident’s-only pool. Two king-size master suites are on the waterside with more stupendous views over the Noosa River and Hideaway Island. Gorgeous limestone-tiled, stone-topped vanities in the bathrooms and share the balcony. The more lavish of the two master suites has it wrapping around on one side. It also has a hideaway television and home office.

“This totally chic residence is relaxed, laidback and luxe,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jesse Stowers, “plus it’s in a private gated location that’s second-to-none. Stroll to nationally known restaurants such as Ricky’s and Rock Salt or take a short boat ride to Hastings Street.

“The amenable climate and a town brimful with natural assets, turns holidaymakers and astute investors into property buyers and it is not going to stop.

Many of these buyers will not compromise on having an exclusive Noosa Heads’ address, and amongst the hottest is Noosa Sound. It affords the convenience of living in the hub with everything wonderful to eat, see and do, safe in the knowledge their investment is underpinned by a neverending pool of future buyers also wanting the same.” ●

PROPERTY NEWS

COMMERCIAL LEASING OPPORTUNITY CLEVER property is excited to offer the very best commercial leasing opportunities available in Noosaville; “Thomas Lane”.

The Noosaville riverside precinct has grown so much in popularity over recent years for its natural beauty, abundance of space, easy accessibility, and some of Noosa’s most popular restaurants, bars, cafes and boutique shops. Noosaville has matured into a major drawcard for tourists and the many locals who call Noosaville home.

With the Noosa River winding through its heart, Noosaville is a laidback holiday hot spot boasting gorgeous water views, shady trees and picnic spots along 2km of grassy foreshore.

Located in the heart of Noosaville, 6 Thomas Street is directly adjacent to the Noosa River in a “Trophy” position with a big future where all the action is. The building was originally built in the early 1980’s and is currently being transformed into a bright, funky new building that will become an instant landmark in the centre of the riverside precinct. Construction is well underway, and will be ready very soon for 3 lucky tenancies to establish their new business premises in the new “Thomas Lane” development.

Developed by established local residents and designed by Andrew McKellar, the shops have been designed to move away from the traditional larger, more costly retail shops and create smaller spaces that bring with them more affordable rents and options for local business owners.

The northern end of the property has been redesigned to offer three smaller retail shops of 65m2, 35m2 and one of only 20m2 approx that resembles a little “Melbourne laneway” style shop, to join two well established existing long term local businesses, “It’s all about me” and “Riverside Beauty”.

Well renowned artist “Grassi” is set to paint a large mural on the laneway wall, look out for his trademark tiny signatures cleverly hidden in the artwork. Grassi has a unique style of his own, vivid, surreal & bursting with colour, energy, adventure and fun! This creative, distinctive artwork will be a big feature to complete the development and we are excited for what he will bring to “Thomas Lane”.

We wish Grassi all the very best from Noosa for his painting in the Archibald prize currently being judged.

The high end renovation will come together with all shops featuring Queensland made traditional style timber shopfronts and glazing. The entire awning will be a standout with the extensive use of spotted gum facades, solid timber posts and some very attractive feature lighting.

Colourful climbing vines will eventually cover the front with an abundance of colour and greenery similar to the town of

“Victoria” in Canada in a way.

All 3 shops are located on the prized “footpath level” with no stairs, and include 2.7m ceilings throughout, grease traps available and private bathrooms included in all shops ready to fit out and make your own retail, cafe or other.

Low outgoings are an additional feature

for the future businesses.

Clever Property has been operating in Thomas Street for almost four years now as a Real Estate agency and love the area.

“Thomas Lane will bring more diversity to our ever-popular area with a very bright future. We look forward to welcoming our future neighbours to this iconic location

with high foot traffic. Our clients are always happy to pop into our office followed by a beverage at one of the popular cafes or restaurants along the riverside” says the team at Clever Property.

To find out more about commercial leasing at Thomas Lane, contact Deb Drake today 0459 990 505. ●

A spacious family home, not to mention the refreshing water views, and located only 35 minutes to the Brisbane international airport and 45 minutes to Brisbane CBD feels like you are hours from anywhere.

PROPERTY NEWS

CLONCURRY CATTLE STATION $35M SALE THE 97,500ha Nardoo cattle station north west of Cloncurry has sold under the hammer for $35 million through Ray White Rural Queensland.

Principal Bruce Douglas facilitated the sale while the online auction was conducted by Ray White Queensland Chief Auctioneer Mitch Peereboom. The sale represents the highest under the hammer price across Ray White this year.

The bidding opened at $20m with the property selling to a local Cloncurry grazier family as 11 registered bidders tuned in.

Mr Douglas said it was a strong campaign with a lot of interest all the way through.

“Interest came almost exclusively from larger grazier families around Queensland,” Mr Douglas said.

“It’s good cattle country and very tightly held, properties don’t come up very often in the area so buyers jumped on it.”

The rural property was sold by Peter and Ann Wollett with cattle and plant included.

Nardoo’s estimated carrying capacity is 8000 breeders with progeny to weaning.

Located 280km north west of Cloncurry and 95km west of the Burke and Wills Roadhouse, the property has excellent access via the bitumen Wills Development Road. ●

SAHARA ROAD, GLASS HOUSE MOUNTAINS BACKING it up with another outstanding sale was fellow Ray White Rural Queensland Principal Jez McNamara who sold a macadamia farm at 309 Sahara Rd, Glass House Mountains for $2,140,000.

The auction attracted 14 registered bidders including several watching online from interstate. The Glass House Mountains property eventually went to a Brisbane family looking for a tree change in the hinterlands.

The sellers Bruce and Pamela Lilly are now planning to retire to the beach.

Mr McNamara said he received interest from a diverse range of buyers.

“It was a good, solid campaign with an excess of 100 enquiries,” Mr McNamara said.

“We had interest from local farmers, neighbours, Brisbane families, graziers and even some families from Victoria and Sydney including one bidder from Melbourne who had never seen the property but was eager to relocate.”

The apartment at 359/420 Queen St, Brisbane City, selling through Ray White Brisbane City, also went under the hammer in the same session conducted by Mr Peereboom. The total sales amount for the three properties was $37,550,000. ●

COMMERCIAL FOCUS

ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED WORKSPACES ARCHITECTURALLY designed Industrial units in Noosaville - Stage 1 completion due in October 2020.

Following a very successful marketing period during the construction phase for five industrial units in stage 1 at 28 Lionel Donovan, three properties have entered into contract. With a limited number of industrial units in the Noosa area displaying this level of quality of design and build and in such an enviable location, Colliers International have found success in selling the units off the plan.

Featuring large, cantilevered mezzanine floors constructed as suspended concrete floors, the properties are located on Lionel Donovan Drive with good exposure to Walter Hay Drive in the heart of the Noosaville automobile precinct.

The units range from 153sqm to 221sqm and will enjoy the allocation of 4-7 car park spaces per tenancy making it the perfect place of business. There remains a further option for owners to extend the mezzanine with an approved GFA that has already been allocated to each unit.

With two units left in Stage1, which will be available for occupancy before the Christmas break, the opportunity presents

itself to purchase one of these superbly built industrial units with the current calendar year.

Stage 2 will see another seven units constructed and delivered in the first half of 2021 â&#x2014;?

Featuring antique hand-carved Indian entry doors, stacked stonework, expansive concrete beam structure, Australian hardwood timbers and custom-made Moroccan lace accent panels that radiate beauty…the interplay of these elegant features makes this home a showstopper to passers-by.

The rebuild was designed in consultation with Gerard Smith of Mojo Design Studio, Noosa Heads, one of Australia’s awardwinning Architects.

Impeccably presented, the calming aesthetic of neutral colour palettes, layers of elemental textures and pearl white interior is perfect for seaside living. Bi-fold doors, hidden screens, glass panels and clever use of plantation shutters, bring understated beauty and elegance to the generous rooms which deliver an intuitively appealing space - this home just keeps giving.

The sprawling open-plan living areas awash with natural light and airflow conveys comfort in every room. A choice of two bedrooms on the lower level is complemented with a master bathroom featuring modern colour tones of sand and chocolate, floor to ceiling tiles and floating cabinets with Caesar stone tops.

Ascend the staircase to the upper level and you will see what makes this retreat so special. Step inside another light-filled living area with warm timber floors and beautiful cross breezes, complete with cafe bar for that early morning coffee. A glass louvered office leads off this room and is ideal for a work-from-home business or client meetings.

This level is also home to a further three bedrooms, including the master, and two more large bathrooms. The main ensuite features a luxurious hydrotherapy massage spa for two, surrounded by Italian tiles.

With a range of indoor and outdoor areas, functionality abounds throughout.

Effortless entertaining is achieved with the large covered alfresco area with a servery and bi-fold doors from an impressive chef`s kitchen, allowing for seamless integration between inside and out.

Soaring ceilings surrounded by high glass louvers sets the tone for this

expansive kitchen. With marble island, polished timber bench tops, Miele dishwasher, Ilve 900mm oven and 5-burner cook top with a Schweigen commercial range hood, the kitchen is a chef’s dream.

The abundant 2-pack cabinetry and large pantry has been well thought-out and is

able to house as many kitchen appliances, flatware and glassware to accommodate two families.

The beauty and elegance of this spectacular home and unbeatable location will take your breath away. Contact Anita Nichols to arrange your private inspection. ●
