New Year a rowdy blast

By Margaret Maccoll While guests dined at high class restaurants, sipped cocktails and danced to music in Hastings Street on New Years Eve thousands of teenagers took to Main Beach to congregate in a large, rowdy rabble that police struggled to control.

Described as “amped-up“ the mob took over the area from the surf club to the sea where, illuminated by spotlight, they mingled, then spilled on to surrounding footpaths.

The revellers presented a confronting scene for passersby as their noisy New Year greetings were punctuated with scuffles and foul language.

Hastings Street Association said they agreed in consultation in November with Council not to host an illumination display or fireworks this year to deter attracting further crowds to Noosa Main Beach, after the cancellation of NYE Fireworks at Mooloolaba.

If left unmanaged, New Year’s Eve could be one of the most precarious times of the year as consuming alcohol is part of the celebration for many and the potential risk, related accidents, and damages as a result, they said.

However the crowd was not deterred.

Police started work at 4pm on Hastings Street on New Year’s Eve operating from a control centre set up next to the Police Beat and working alongside Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) and Red Frogs youth support network.

Senior sergeant Ben Carroll said police intercepted underage youths coming into the precinct, mostly on buses, confiscated thousands of dollars of alcohol and tipped it out.

“We were the busiest area on the whole coast,“ acting senior sergeant Troy Cavell said.

Youths congregate on Hastings Street New Year’s Eve.

Beach was all the rage Reasonable weather and a run of decent surf on the points brought record crowds to Main Beach over the holiday period, but lifesavers and local beach-goers reported very little crowd or parking lot rage.

“The kids went a bit crazy on New Year’s Eve,” said one local surfer. “But in the water and on the sand it was actually quite mellow, despite the ridiculous crowds.”

A senior Noosa lifesaver told Noosa Today: “Crowds have been high as expected on Main Beach over the Christmas and New Year periods, but well behaved and with no major rescues required. Having only moderate sea conditions has helped the beach public but has intensified the crowds in the World Surfing Reserve to times when it was simply impossible to ride waves.”

“A lot younger age group - 14, 15, 16 year olds were there drinking. That was our main problem.“ The other problem was a lack of public transport to take them home, with bus services ending at 11pm, he said.

With all available police officers posted in Hastings Street and extra resources sent from Maroochydore there were 28 officers covering Main Beach, Noosa Woods, Little Cove and Lions Park.

Votes are in, winners soon

By Phil Jarratt Noosa Today’s Citizen of the Year Awards has now concluded, with an incredible range of nominations across the community in both the open and under 25 divisions.

While community leaders like Mayor Clare Stewart, Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie, Sandy Bolton MP, Noosa Heads surf club life member Ron Lane and surfing champion Josh Constable have all had their say, we’ve also had a strong input from readers, including one, Paul Bell, who nominated his wife Tara.

There were many nominations for charity workers, who have so much to do in this Covid year, but on the pandemic front we were stopped in our tracks by the double nomina-

tion from both Mayor Clare and Deputy Mayor Frank of (then student) George Gleeson in the under 25 division for his selfless work in leading a team that made 1000 face masks at the Peregian Digital Hub for frontline health care workers.

Another nomination that caught our eye was reader Ron Blount, 79, who put up Marc Bright for his all-abilities golf clinic at Cooroy Golf Club, helping the disabled enjoy a sport in which he had once been a professional.

All people, young and old, giving back to their community in a variety of ways. They’re all winners in our eyes, but the nominations have closed, the votes have been counted, and next week we will announce Noosa Today’s Citizens of the Year for 2020.

‘Nothing changes on New Year’s Day’ so says U2.

They’re not the only ones. A 2007 study by British psychologist Richard Wiseman looked at the New Year resolutions of 3000 people and found 88 per cent had failed to achieve their goals.

But it is ingrained in our society to mark the year that has passed and look forward to better things in the next.It may just be a square on a calendar but its promise of new beginnings and fresh starts make New Year feel auspicious and meaningful.

Healthy or sick, wealthy or poor, wedded or widowed; we are expected to get out there and revel, even when the last thing many of us want is to mark that time is passing so obviously. There may have been more reasons to celebrate this year, with an end to 2020, hopefully signalling an end to Covid.

Instead of opting for a celebration this year my husband Rob and I decided to visit Hastings Street and Main Beach to find out just how others were ringing in the New Year.

Most of Hastings Street was filled with diners enjoying a night out with good food, a few drinks and music.

Main Beach was another story - filled with drunken teens and an angry atmosphere. Sure we were all young once. It’s wasn’t a place I’d like to revisit and I doubt our emergency services people would either.

Covid tests ramping up

By Margaret Maccoll The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) sprang into action on Tuesday, opening a Covid-19 testing facility at the Noosa Leisure Centre to expand testing in Noosa at the request of the State Government after Queensland Health requested anyone who has been in Victoria since 21 December be tested immediately.

QAS infection prevention officer Mel Rogers said 40 people, a mix of interstate visitors and locals, had been tested in the first hour of the clinic opening.

The temporary clinic will increase the testing capacity in Noosa and operate in addition to the Sunny Street clinic at The J Theatre carpark as well as Sullivan Nicolaides clinics at Tewantin and Noosaville providing testing without the need for a referral.

Ms Rogers said QAS staff from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast had come to set up the clinic, its second in the state, at the Leisure Centre that was provided to them by Noosa Council.

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said there had been no confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Noosa but it was important to encourage as much testing as possible.

“With the requirements for interstate tourists to get tested, it makes sense to have accessible testing sites in Noosa to reduce the waiting times and lengthy queues,“ he said.

QAS officers have been trained to assist and support Queensland Health, Local Health and Hospital Services with COVID-19 testing and rapidly deploy to areas of need.

The clinic will be open from 7am to 5pm at Noosa Leisure Centre, 9 Wallace Drive, Noosaville.

QAS infection prevention officer Mel Rogers speaks to the media at the Covid clinic at Noosa Leisure Centre.

Woman traveller to Sunshine Coast tests positive

By Abbey Cannan A woman in her 50s who travelled to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney’s Northern Beaches has tested positive for Covid-19.

Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young said the woman flew to Queensland on a Virgin flight and arrived in Brisbane at 9.30am on December 16.

“The lady then went to Sunshine Coast

and we’re contact tracing there. She went to a hotel but only had contact with the receptionist, who we are in contact with. Otherwise she didn’t have any broad contact there.“ The woman then returned to Brisbane the next day and travelled back to Sydney’s Northern Beaches where she got herself tested.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk MP told a press conference on Friday morning that

authorities were not concerned about where she went on the Sunshine Coast at this stage.

“From the outset I can report that we had three new cases in Queensland overnight,“ she said.

“When the New South Wales Premier says she is on high alert, we are on high alert as well.

“We are coming up to the festive season and during this time people are mixing with

their family and friends, their going away on holidays, they’re getting ready for Christmas and a lot of people are not necessarily paying attention to what’s happening in the media.“ Anyone who visited the Glen Hotel in Eight Mile Plains after 11:30am on December 16 or travelled on Virgin Flight VA 925 on December 16 is asked to get tested immediately if they develop any symptoms.

Halt clearing, church urged

By Margaret Maccoll Spurred on by her 10-year-old son Spencer, Maxine Hitchen is calling on the Uniting Church to adhere to its own core values to preserve the planet and find a different solution to building its proposed aged care development that does not involve clearing significant Wallum habitat at Sunrise Beach.

For the past two years Spencer has been capturing the images of the Glossy Black Cockatoos that call the habitat home and documenting their movements.

The Glossy Blacks are a threatened species that are very selective in their habitat, choosing the Allocasurina littoralis trees on the development site to feed, roost, mate and educate their offspring. The first stage of the proposed Uniting Church development, that last year gained Noosa Council approval, will clear half of the glossies feed trees.

Maxine said Spencer’s interest in birds and other wildlife, particularly insects and spiders, was probably sparked by his bird-loving grandfather and became a passion about three years ago.

“He saw the glossies and has just fallen in love with them,” Maxine said. “Wildlife and birds are a real passion. He’s been the driving force trying to save nature.”

Since joining a birding group and learning more about wildlife Spencer has begun teaching others through his photos, art and even talks about the importance of nature.

Mentored by bird enthusiasts Bob Carey and Tim Lennon Spencer can now distinguish the area’s 24 individual Glossies from one another by sight and even sound.

Passionate about photography Spencer takes photos of wildlife to identify the various organisms so he can learn more about them in later research.

“He said I think the birds are really important because everybody loves the birds. If they protect the birds they’ll protect everything else,” Maxine said.

Spencer has already witnessed the destruction of habitat and loss of trees for other developments and asked his mother, “what about the ants, the spiders, even the fungi”.

Maxine said he understands people live in houses and his grandfather lives in a nursing home, all of which required the destruction of habitat, but wants people to be aware of the importance of habitat and recognise that “we could do it better”.

When he found out the home of his beloved birds was to be cleared Spencer asked his mum what they could do. “Can we buy the land,” he said.

“I just felt I had to do something,“ Maxine said. “Spencer made me think I can’t sit back.”

As the development is a project of a Christian organisation and not undertaken by a business seeking financial gain, Maxine decided to appeal to the Uniting Church to act according to its values.

Maxine is herself a Christian with a respect for the church. Maxine noted the support the church displayed on its online sites for climate change action and the preservation of the planet.

“I thought if they think that way they must be going to think what they are doing here is contributing to killing the planet,” she said. “I thought these are your core values.”

Spencer wrote his own letter to call for the area to be protected while Maxine contacted

the church, requesting the significant piece of land be gifted to the community for preservation.

She has been told the project will be discussed at an internal church meeting next week.

Maxine said she was concerned at how Spencer and other local students will react if the trees come down. She said many students of the school that borders the habitat have learnt about the glossies and the significant environment.

“We are all responsible for what is going to happen,” she said.

“We all have to put our hands up and say at least we tried our hardest. If the church can’t do the right thing, what hope have we got.

They’re supposed to be doing God’s work.

“It’s important to work together to come up with a solution.” Spencer hopes we can work together with the Uniting Church to save this vital Glossy Black-Cockatoo habitat and not drive the already vulnerable bird species to extinction.

Over Christmas a temporary art installation of Glossy Black-Cockatoo feathers popped up on the corner of Grasstree Court at the edge of the proposed development and Spencer was there to capture it in his own thoughtful style.

He used a grey scale in his images to show the life that would be lost if the glossies habitat was destroyed and the sadness he feels if this should be allowed to happen.

The feather installation was accompanied by a sign quoting a post on the Uniting Church Australia Facebook page. The post showed young members of the Uniting Church with a banner saying “Killing the Planet is Against Our Religion”. The installation’s aim was to create more awareness within the Uniting Church congregation coming together on Christmas morning.

Enhancing the river for all

By Margaret Maccoll An independent Noosa-based, non-government fundraising organisation, the Noosa River Foundation, is being established to support projects to enhance the Noosa River and work cooperatively with all stakeholders.

Founded by Michael Whitehead the board is being constituted with a former Noosa Mayor taking on the position as chair and scientific expertise to be delivered by a University of Queensland professor with experience working on the river, and a website is in development.

Michael, a former Noosa Council Environment Officer who worked under Mayors Playford and Abbot, returned to the area six months ago after working in Canberra and Indonesia.

He has continued to keep tabs on the region while away and since being back has been reacquainting himself with the river and the many folk who have a long and deep interest in the river and its continued welfare.

“I negotiated the first few land purchases adjacent to the river with conservation levy funds, initiated the first lower estuary biodiversity assessment which was recently repeated by UQ researchers, introduced the voluntary Land for Wildlife Program to Noosa and helped establish the first Noosa Catchment Management Association,“ he said.

“Amongst my fondest memories from those days were the times when at her request, I would row Nancy Cato around Weyba Creek in her little dinghy whenever she wanted to point out some matter of concern to me; also when the commercial river fishermen would share with me the goings on up and down the river that concerned them.“ Michael said since his return he has seen a considerable increase in river usage but what has remained are the ongoing debates on the planning and management of the river.

Noosa beach and river are popular spots over the holidays.

“Debates about Council funding of particular river sustainability projects continue,“ he said. “Governments will never have enough resources to fund all the river restoration and sustainability projects the community would like to see action on.“ Michael envisages the Noosa River Foundation to be a fundraising vehicle with interest coming from the private sector to sustain the river as the high quality natural environment upon which the community and its tourismoriented economy rely.

The organisation wouldn’t be relying heavily on government funding. It aims to leave policy-making decisions to government and to work cooperatively with all other stakeholders.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

“I see an important opportunity to now establish a Noosa-originated and communityowned organisation, independent of partisan interests and government, that serves as the portal for community engagement and investment in river sustainability projects,“ Michael said.

“Given the historic roles that external organisations and various vested interests have taken regarding the river and the expenditure of scarce funds, and the understandable antagonism and distrust this has caused within parts of the Noosa community, I see it as crucially important that an initiative like I’m suggesting is locally-based and controlled, truly independent of vested interest and external

groups, and independent of Council in the sense that it doesn’t rely on Council funding. It should be the organisation and platform that the community and private sector can trust and get involved with, be it in terms of suggesting or driving projects, or indeed making donations.

“It’s such an iconic river in terms of its natural state, in good condition and heavily used.

It’s such a valuable thing. The river suffers from no lack of love.“ Michael said he had already gained wide support and is now putting the proposal to the community and river users.

New Year’s was a blast From page 1 Acting Snr Sgt Cavell said there were 28 arrests on the night for public order offences, about 30 infringement notices issued for possession of alcohol and three or four charges for drug offences.

QAS established a triage unit to deal with a continual stream of people brought in for assistance.

Unit manager Neil Pinto said six paramedics staffed the unit from 6pm to about 3am with most patients treated for intoxication.

He said depending on the assessment to their condition the patients were transported by ambulance from the unit to Noosa, Nambour and Sunshine Coast University hospitals or a responsible adult was contacted to come and collect them.

Red Frogs Australia director Andy Gourley said the Red Frog teams handed out 2000 cups of water to try to keep people hydrated and cooked up 1000 sausages. He said the group had teams at the emergency services triage and surf club as well as roving teams looking

after everyone that had drunk too much.

Andy rated it a good night overall for his team with no major incident and good support from the surf club and local businesses.

Hastings Street Association held concerns over the behaviour of youths on the night “Whilst many enjoyed seeing in the New Year in restaurants, bars and private gatherings, it was evidence that many youths were drinking alcohol unsupervised and the volume of minors who appeared to be supplied by adults was incredibly concerning,“ they said.

“We fully appreciate the combined efforts of our local Service crews who worked through the night for the benefit of our local community and visitors.”

Noosa Surf Club supporters club manager Anton Mogg said overall it was a good night and the crowd of youth outside was something they had come to expect.

At Rococo Bar and Bistro, New Year’s Eve was a popular sit-down event, enjoyed by many. “We had strong security on the night,“ they said.

Saving Noosa’s best asset From page 1 The lifesaver added: “We have not reached the former peak of surf-related injuries and thank the surf community for surfing with respect and common sense over this crowded season. We are all looking forward to a more normal surf population post-holidays, and then even more normal post Coronavirus vaccinations.”

As far as surf rage is concerned, one contributing factor to its near-absence at the busiest time of year on the beach may be the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s “Surf Code” temporary signage at most beach access points within the Reserve, which stretches from the river mouth to North Sunshine. The signs, which were installed just before Christmas as a pilot scheme for a permanent safety signage plan, explain basic safety in the surf and rules of conduct, or etiquette, so that all can enjoy riding the waves on crowded conditions. Using cartoon sketches and minimal words, the signs are aimed at surfers of all ages from around the world, but they particularly target novice surfers who often attempt the sport without the benefit of lessons.

The Surf Code signage campaign has been a major plank of Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s 2020 stewardship program, but this year the Reserve’s stewardship council will be working closely with Noosa Shire Council on getting the best results for Noosa from the Queensland government’s proposed protective legislation for World Surfing Reserves. Both the Reserve and the Council made detailed submissions to the government during the consultation period late last year, stressing not only the need for new layers of environmental protection, but

for education and awareness-raising about the fragility of the coastal environment, as well as promotion of a code of behaviour to cope with crowds.

Council’s submission read in part: “The local stewardship committee for the Noosa World Surfing Reserve are working towards preserving and protecting the surfing assets of Noosa. However, they are also focussed on education and awareness-raising about the values and fragility of the Noosa coastline, and promoting surf etiquette and code of behaviour ... . Council supports the aim of the stewardship committee to ensure the perspectives of all beach users are considered with competing interest managed appropriately. The stewardship committee concept and role should be central to the Government’s thinking in protecting these areas for future generations.”

Council CEO Brett de Chastel, who participated, with NWSR executives, in round-table discussions with government representatives via Zoom during the consultation period, also pointed out that while there was already a regulatory framework in place to address issues of maritime safety, including surfboard riding, surf swimming and use of PWCs, management and surveillance might need to be “ramped up ... especially when there are large swells.”

But the bottom line is that behaviour and attitude is going to define the future surfing experience in Noosa during peak periods, and the Noosa World Surfing Reserve is committed to that, starting the next phase of its video campaign for Surf Code awareness as school goes back at the end of the month.

Phippsy shares secrets

By Arthur Gorrie Larger than life TV chef and host of the popular Creek to Coast fishing and cooking show, Andy “Phipsy“ Phipps, called in on friends at Rainbow Beach this week.

He said he was happy to set up at old mate Drew Gardiners shop, Gardiner Fisheries, in Karoonda Rd, on the Carlo Rd corner.

“Some people say he’s larger than life, others say he’s even larger than that,“ Mr Gardiner said.

The famous’and irrepressible Noosa celebrity chef and the man who helped pioneer daytime light-tackle mangrove jack fishing in the Noosa River, was in town to help Mr Gardiner promote Gardiner Fisheries’ mangrove jack competition, which continues today (8 January)and finishes tomorrow (9 January).

And, of course he did one of his famous spontaneous “cook-ups“, quick, simple and delicious, just like on his TV show.

“Always happy to help out a mate like Drew,“ Phippsy said. “He’s set up this shop and he’s really giving it a crack.“ Phippsy, famous for his Noosa and Sunshine Coast restaurants, is now retired at Poona, just over the Gympie Region boundary along the Fraser Coast.

He claims the world record for number of lures lost to mangrove jack.

“If you see their jaws, they are absolutely carnivorous,“ he said.

“I’m going to deep fry a whole fish today,“ he said, going against “90 percent of what I would normally do, which is to fillet and pan fry“.

“But this is the way they do it in Bali and Thailand.”

A foodie and fishing celebrity for 45 years, he has left his Noosa and Coolum restaurants behind, but he still loves to cook, especially mangrove jack, which he says is scientifically known as “Tastiest maximumus“ “It’s in the sweetlip and red emperor family and it can live in fresh or saltwater, just about anywhere there’s a feed. It loves creeks and you guys are blessed around here to have all these magnificent creeks.

“The fish are red and they light up at night and they’ve got big blue eyes. They love live bait, but don’t discard a nice fresh strip of mullet, something oily “I tend to use 10lb tackle, so you give them a nudge. If you try to just drag them, they’ll head into their snags and you’ll lose your lure. A little tug might just make them change direction.

“I think we pioneered light tackle fishing for jack.“ Phippsy also recommended drying the fish on a tea towel, as dry as possible, and scoring the sides with a sharp filleting knife, to help the heat penetrate. Then coat it is rice flour.

“You can also use corn flour, but I like the shortness of the rice flour.

“In Asia they cook it in peanut oil. I’m using a very exclusive Black and Gold brand.

“Not olive oil though. It has too low a boiling point and can become carcinogenic if it starts to burn. Keep olive oil for salads.

“Five minutes each side,“ he said.““

Finishing with a sprig of coriander (“unless you don’t like coriander, in which case, just eat the fish”).

Phippsy and Drew Gardiner with Catherine and Eloise Gardiner at the big cook-up.

Celebrity chef and fishing guru, Phippsy was in full flight with these two mangrove jack on the menu.

Scoring the fish before cooking.

Chilli plum sauce Phippsy with old mate, Tin Can Bay fishing industry environmental adviser Joe McLeod. “Joe’s forgotten more about fishing than I ever knew,” the big man said.

Serve with peanuts and coriander, but less is more with fish. Keep it simple or you’ll spoil everything.

Meanwhile, he was preparing a pan of his own special, three minute chilli plum sauce.

And a tip on cooking equipment - buy the best, he says.

“I paid $1000 for this deep fryer in 1994 and that was a lot of money, but if I had $1 for every meal I’ve cooked with it I’d have a lot of money.“ It has taken him through the experiences behind more than 650 TV shows, 1000 live news crosses, 150 TV specials, three books, two DVDs and a partridge in a pear tree.“

Phippsy’s special three-minute chilli plum sauce: “A little ginger in a greased pan and a little water to help fry it up, or you can use wine “Then a dollop of plum jam.

“You render the jam down.

“One thing about the chillii, you add it according to taste.

“But the garlic, just because one clove tastes good, doesn’t mean three will taste three times as good.”

Snake found in car

By Margaret Maccoll One of the last things you want to find slithering across your dashboard on a trip to the shops is a snake but that was the reality for one woman at the Noosa Junction IGA car park this week.

Sunshine Coast Snake Catcher Stuart McKenzie was phoned by the frantic woman who had just returned to her car after a shop at the IGA and discovered the brown coloured snake.

Stuart said the snake disappeared from sight into the air vent but his snake catcher, Nat, managed to encourage it back out of the vent.

The common tree snake was safely captured for release in a more appropriate spot.

Stuart said with January generally their busiest month of the year it had been a hectic time for Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7.

He said they had caught all types of snakes including brown, red-bellied black, tree, whip and carpet pythons and expected their work to continue at the same pace with snakes on the move at present.

Snakes have been turning up in all sorts of places but in a recent call to a Buderim residence residents were distressed to discover their pet cat had been taken by a large carpet python.

Stuart said he had seen a number of 3m carpet pythons that were quite capable of making a meal of a small-sized pet.

To contact Sunshine Coast Snake Catcher 24/7 phone 0409 536 000.

Fatal traffic crash An 18-year-old man has died following a single vehicle crash at Kulangoor on the Sunshine Coast on 29 December.

Preliminary investigations indicate around 4.30am, a white station wagon traveling along Rutherford Road veered off the road and collided with a tree.

As a result of the crash, the 18-year-old driver and single occupant of the vehicle died at the scene.

The white Mitsubishi Outlander is suspected of being stolen from a property in Nambour prior to the crash.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

Anyone with information or dash cam footage captured between Nambour and Kulangoor prior to the crash is urged to contact police.

Police are appealing for information following a suspected hit and run incident at Maroochydore where a 21-year-old man died.

Mary River drowning Police have located the body of a 20-year-old man who was reported missing at Kybong in the Gympie area on 2 January.

Initial information suggested he was swimming in waist deep water with a group in the Mary River at the corner of Traveston Crossing Road and Dobson Road at Kybong just after midnight.

The group were using headlights to light the water near their campground where they were wading.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Service swift water rescue crews assisted to try and locate the man without any luck.

The RACQ Lifeflight rescue helicopter also helped.

Police including divers and State Emergency Service personnel scoured the area and found the man’s body about 80 metres away from where he was last seen swimming in the Mary River.

Pictured right: The snake found in a car at a Noosa Junction car park.

So how are the holidays going so far?

Are you counting the days until they go back to school, investigating a residential school holiday camp or singing Kumbaya underneath the stars? Sometimes all that family time can get a bit grating.

Or too much socialising can be suffocating.

It can feel like you are living in the kitchen, cooking an endless meal, with a mop in one hand and a Hoover in the other.

Here is what I do to enjoy my family holiday. I ask two questions, practise mindfulness by myself and with my kids.

And finally lower my expectations.

The questions are

CELEBRATING THE ARRIVAL OF 2021!

1. What do I need today? Time alone, catch up with friends, see family or do I need to exercise?

2. What do my kids need today?

I am working from the aeroplane principle of parenting. In other words, putting the oxygen mask on myself first.

I start with mindfulness when I wake up.

Then a mindfulness activity with the family during the day. When I do mindfulness, I am calmer. My objective is to lower the explosion factor in our house for my sanity and theirs.

This is the mindful activity I use for me when I wake up. I get comfortable, then take three deep breaths. The objective is to engage your diaphragm. The easiest way I find to do this is to place your hands above your belly button and imagine you are filling your tummy up with air. Then I ask myself five questions.

SELECTED HOMEWARES, DECOR & MORE

So what does mindfulness with my kids look like? Frankly, I am trying to sneak it in wherever I can. My objective is to get my kids to take a series of deep breaths, slow down and notice what is going on around them. Some days I will do the same process as I do with myself. Or put on their favourite song on YouTube.

Everyone gets to choose one song.

Singing is taking a series of deep breaths.

Sometimes I practise mindfulness one-toone, sometimes we practise together, with varying levels of success. When Ben was four years old, I would get him to lie down with a soft toy on his tummy and he had to take deep breaths to move the toy up and down.

Finally, I lower my expectations of myself, my kids and the level of tidiness of my house. I remember that I am my children’s prefrontal cortex and it’s my job to do the thinking for them when they can’t.

PHIL JARRATT rakes over the barnacles of the prestige housing estate that was more than 20 years in the making...

Impossible dream fulfilled For many of the residents and speculators waiting to see when the Noosa Waters real estate market is going to peak in these extraordinary times we live in - do I stay or do I flip? - it will come as a surprise to learn that the prestigious canal estate is nudging into middle age.

Yep, it will be 50 next year, if you count the 20 years it took before a sod was turned, a period when a succession of developers passed through a revolving door and it looked like T.M. Burke’s most ambitious Sunnie Coast project was never going to see the light of day.

And indeed, when it finally happened, T.M.’s had long gone. But let’s start at the beginning, with an interesting bloke called Peter Sharpe.

During the 1960s and ‘70s, Sharpe, a littleknown former radio and television journalist, became regarded as the most powerful dealmaker in the regional development lobby.

Born in Brisbane in 1932, Sharpe’s first baby photograph shows him with his mother on the sands of Golden (now Sunshine) Beach, beginning a lifelong love of the coast. He came back to Sunshine Beach as a teenager when his mother bought a lot on Duke Street, and thereafter spent much of his life along the eastern beaches of Noosa Shire. After proving himself as a capable journalist, he joined T.M. Burke in 1961 and was appointed Queensland manager in 1964, the same year that Ian Macdonald became Noosa Shire’s development-loving chairman.

But even Ian Macdonald couldn’t help Burke’s win its protracted battle with the Noosa Parks Association and other community groups to build a dress circle road around Noosa Headland, so Sharpe and Macdonald turned their attention to filling in the gaps between the new Peregian Beach estate and the old and long-ignored Noosa Beach Estate

The lock in progress, 1991. at Sunshine, which was finally starting to live up to its promise of 1929. Housing estates at North Peregian, Marcus Beach and Sunrise Beach were rolled out over a few years along the northern end of the new David Low Way. But Peter Sharpe had a much bigger idea

Picture: COURTESY PICTURE NOOSA than merely creating endless urban sprawl along our beaches. Having failed to win approval for “Peregian Waters”, a canal estate in the fauna-rich South Peregian wetlands, he convinced T.M. Burke that they needed to acquire land parcels away from the beach for other

kinds of developments, and got approval to buy up property on the eastern side of Lake Weyba and Weyba Creek, as well as swampy land at the southern end of Noosaville. This became the basis for the Noosa Waters project, first given a name in 1972 and unveiled in 1973.

John Mainwaring’s “surreal vision”.

Picture: COURTESY NOOSA BLUE GROUP

Sharpe’s grand vision was that sooner or later Noosa would run out of coastline to sell and there would be huge demand for adjacent options, and he backed his pitch to the company with self-funded research trips to similar developments in Texas and Florida. In 1975 his agenda got a further boost when he was elected to Noosa Shire Council.

In the early years of Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s premiership it seemed virtually any large development could get environmental approval if its backers lined the right pockets, but the Noosa Waters plan would not only quadruple the size of Noosaville, but fundamentally alter the water flow of the Noosa River, so as the environmental obstacles grew, Sharpe found himself increasingly isolated, with a new regime at cash-strapped T.M. Burke putting the project on hold, then selling out to the L.J. Hooker Corporation. After running unsuccessfully for Noosa Shire chairman in the late 1980s, Sharpe adopted a low profile and watched with a bemused smile while a new generation of developers tried to jump aboard the bandwagon of the emerging Noosa style when the first stages of the estate (now owned by a company called Mademinster which quickly changed its name to Noosa Waters Pty Ltd), boasting 40 hectares of waterways and 16 hectares of parkland, were finally released in 1993.

Architectural style maven John Mainwaring was an early hire, setting up a design services office on the estate and building his “surreal vision”, complete with wave roof, of a classic beach house on the canal front. Straight-

talking Mainwaring told a local magazine: “I reckon a lot of the covenants attached to these planned communities are just spat out of the Raby Bay computer, without addressing the actual site itself. Fortunately, the developers here were prepared to listen to reason when I told them I thought the roads were too wide, and now we’re working together towards a very pleasant street environment. In effect, we’re turning the streets into linear parks, along the lines of what’s happened at The Noosa Woods.”

Other design and planning professionals who might have been expected to run a mile from a planned community were drawn into the Noosa Waters web, including landscape architect Glen Gloster, who had designed the new Woods landscape, and her husband, the well-known planning consultant Michael.

There was so much fuss about Noosa Waters that a wannabe local media mini-mogul, not far removed from your correspondent, even decided to launch a house and garden maga-

The original 1973 T.M. Burke plan.

Picture: SUPPLIED zine on the back of it.

Flush with a 12-month advertising contract from the new estate owners, the Noosa Blue publishing company launched Casa Magazine in a bunch of marquees on a vacant block (there were many) right next to John Mainwaring’s almost-completed “surreal vision” wave house on Mermaid Quay in October 1993.

Asked who she would like to be our guest of honour, Noosa Waters sales manager Annette Mengel nominated prime ministerial widow and prominent Sydney socialite Lady Sonia McMahon, who tinkled her champagne flute with developers and tradies, pollies and First Fleeters all afternoon and into the evening, while former rock star Shirley Strachan and his crew from the Our House TV lifestyle show filmed it all.

Somewhat grateful for a launch that more than paid for itself in developer advertising, I wrote, in the middle of several pages of gushing about Noosa Waters: “In an eight-week period leading up to Christmas, Noosa Waters sales manager Annette Mengel oversaw the sale of $8 million worth of real estate. That’s a million a week, and even in a project like Noosa Waters, where infrastructure costs, such as the building of bridges and locks, have been extraordinarily high, this is an unparalleled success story. Like the Noosa Sound development 15 years earlier, Noosa Waters has overcome the stigma of its bare earth beginnings.”

And hasn’t it though! And for a lazy few mill you can still get in.

1990 - a time of reform The 1990 Cabinet Minutes, released this week, show the Goss Government’s bold steps to delivering reform after 32 years of conservative government, in a time of momentous change and significant events unfolding world wide.

In 1990 East and West Germany united with the fall of the Berlin Wall, British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the first web server and browser, Nelson Mandela was released from a South African prison after 27 years, Margaret Thatcher resigned as UK Prime Minister and the Hubble Space Telescope was launched from the space shuttle Discovery.

In Queensland we saw daylight savings introduced in the summer of 1989-1990, a new stadium proposed for Townsville and the Indy Car Grand Prix secured for the Gold Coast.

While in Noosa the 1990s saw Mayor Noel Playford gazette its first formal strategic plan, development heights limited to four storeys and the opening of the community complex at Wallace Park, Noosaville.In 1995, mayor Noel Playford controversially announced a “population cap“ of 56,500 people for Noosa Shire. The population cap was the expected population under the planning scheme if all available land was developed in accordance with it.

The 1990 Cabinet Minutes show the government taking up the reforms recommended in the Fitzgerald Inquiry Report, an interim report from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, and a commitment to prepare the state for a projected population surge of roughly 500,000 people over the next decade.

Minister for the Digital Economy, Leeanne Enoch said 1990 was truly the year when change came to Queensland.

“The appointment of Commissioners to the Criminal Justice Commission, the predecessor of today’s Crime and Corruption Commission, was pivotal in addressing the actions of the previous Bjelke-Peterson government,“ she said.

“While the unravelling of the notorious gerrymander delivered an electoral system where Queenslanders could be confident their vote really counted.

“Reform was the cornerstone of the Goss Government’s Cabinet papers with a legacy which improved a broad cross section of policy areas, including the environment, education, police services, industrial relations, infrastructure, community housing and the rights of First Nations people.

“In one of the biggest reforms in 60 years the Goss Government made significant changes to the structure and organisation of Queensland’s public service to reflect the government’s favoured machinery of government and considerable reform agenda that would follow.

Beginning in January 1990, Cabinet authorised the establishment of the Public Sector Management Commission (PSMC) to ‘modernise’ Queensland’s public service and make it more ‘efficient’.

“The Goss Government promptly established an Office of Women’s Affairs and later the Women’s Policy Branch, located within the Policy Co-ordination Division in the Premier’s own Department,” Ms Enoch said.

Former Premier Wayne Goss “Reversing an earlier directive of the former National Party Government, Cabinet approved a new directive which required full cooperation of all state government employees to facilitate the work of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody in Queensland.

“Later in 1990, Cabinet endorsed the government’s response to the 56 recommendations contained in the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody Commission’s interim report, indicating support for most recommendations.

“1990 also saw huge steps forward in addressing gay rights with a review of homosexual law reform leading to the decriminalisation of homosexuality,” Ms Enoch said.

“A direct link from this past reform to the present can be seen in the Palaszczuk Government’s 2017 expungement of the state’s past convictions for homosexual activity and the apology for the harm it inflicted, as well as the equalisation of the age of consent in 2016.

“The Goss Government’s green credentials were also showcased in the Minutes with an agreement being reached with the Federal Government over financial and administrative arrangements for the north Queensland wet tropic region which had been listed as a World Heritage Area.

“These papers reveal the establishment of a national park on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) in an attempt to balance sand mining and environmental protection, along with the announcement of a public inquiry into the conservation and land management

of K’Gari (Fraser Island) and the Great Sandy Region,” she said.

Other highlights of the of the 1990 Cabinet papers include: The Goss Government introduced new industrial relations legislation based on the findings of 1987-88 Hanger Inquiry into Queensland’s industrial relations framework. Cabinet approved the Industrial Relations Bill and the legislation to reinstate the ‘lost’ superannuation entitlements of electrical workers sacked after the 1985 SEQEB dispute.

The opening of the new Logan Hospital along with south-east Queensland transport infrastructure projects and regional mining venture approvals continued to be a focus of Cabinet attention In August Cabinet agreed to introduce daylight saving time state-wide “on a permanent basis”. The trial continued through to 1991-92 when it was rejected at a state-wide referendum.

Cabinet considered the matter of Queensland’s higher education entrance system, with a view to replacing the TE score with a new system of ranking higher education applicants. Subsequently legislation was to be drafted to bring the review changes into effect, with the OP entrance system commencing in 1992.

With more students completing year 12, the Goss Government endorsed a policy of increasing the intake of students at the state’s universities and colleges to “provide enhanced

higher education opportunities for young Queenslanders”.

Cabinet also moved in 1990 to introduce the Heritage Buildings Protection Bill, saving many old, historic buildings from the wrecker’s ball.

Cabinet approved actions to investigate and facilitate the introduction of poker machines into Queensland clubs and pubs, under strict licensing laws.

Cabinet authorised investigation into how Queensland’s parliamentary terms might be extended to a four-year duration. The first four-year term for a Queensland Government started on November 1 2020 with the current government.

In April 1990, Cabinet agreed that subordinate legislation be approved progressively bringing various provisions and regulations associated with the newly passed Police Act into effect, allowing the appointment of new executive-level police officers. Cabinet approved the repeal of the Police Complaints Tribunal Act 1982-1989, enabling the process for investigating complaints against police officers to be moved from within the Police Department to the Criminal Justice Commission.

Warana evolved into the Brisbane Festival, first held in 1996 as a joint initiative of the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council, intended to foster the arts.

Paramedics are urging parents to keep a close eye on their children at all times when swimming.

Paramedics’ toddler plea

By Abbey Cannan Paramedics have raised the alarm after a spate of near drownings across Queensland overshadowed the start of summer.

During December alone, Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) responded to 82 near

drownings, with 16 of these close calls occurring on the Sunshine Coast region and two in the Wide Bay. Concerningly, almost half of these patients have been under the age of 12.

QAS Acting Director Lachlan Parker said

this number was an alarming increase in neardrowning incidents compared to previous years.

“The statistics are very clear that the vast majority of these drownings or near-drownings occur in backyard pools,“ he said.

“For toddlers or young children from 0 to 4, near-drowning is one of the highest leading causes of death in that age group.

“So whilst we see drownings in a variety of places around Queensland such as dams or in creeks, the real concerning one is definitely the backyard pool.“

High Acuity Response Unit Paramedic Natasha Adams said the number of cases they were attending was quite worrying.

“We attend these cases quite often and it can be really devastating for us and really devastating for the families,” she said.

“This isn’t the news that you want to give to anyone, that someone may be severely injured or pass away from drowning.

“I actually have three children under the age of 12 and I recently returned from a beach holiday and I spent a lot of my time supervising my children directly because I know of the dangers that come with being around the water and what we need to do to protect our children.”

Natasha said it was important not to substitute anything for supervision.

“Over the last couple of days there has been several children that have been pulled out of pools that have required CPR by bystanders and by QAS,” she said.

“This is really important to understand that drowning can happen suddenly and it can happen silently and can have devastating consequences for these children and adults.

“We need to be making sure that our pool gates are closed, and that our children are well supervised.”

Natasha said one of the most important things to do was to be up to date with CPR. “That can save lives. That early bystander CPR of high quality can give them the best chance at a good survival.”

The remaining stock at Parkridge Noosa will be snapped up quickly.

Snapping up stock in Noosa Local and interstate buyers have plunged into the remaining homes and apartments at Parkridge Noosa this summer as they look to secure their dream home in the award winning mixed use development.

Parkridge Noosa sales manager Jeremy Gilmore said just three of the nine architecturally designed two level designer homes remain on the market and he expects the remaining stock will be snapped up quickly.

IN BRIEF

The sky’s the limit

By Margaret Maccoll Owen Bennedick’s 69th birthday last Sunday marked 60 years since his interest in astronomy began as a nine-year-old boy with a pair of binoculars and a cousin interested in chasing UFOs. He now has a private observatory with 34 telescopes, six capable of safely viewing the sun and is raising money for his next acquisition, a radio-telescope.

Over the years his interest has only grown.

Since giving up his day job as a sound and light technician for discos and concerts about five years ago he has thrown himself into sharing his passion and his knowledge of astronomy and earth gained over decades of learning.

Owen now hosts shows at his Wappa Falls Astronomical Observatory of up to 700 people and has a mobile show he takes to schools and other events.

Having spent so many years gazing into space led Owen to appreciate planet Earth so his focus now includes a message on the importance of protecting the environment.

His message begins with home with almost all of Owen’s telescopes, stages and displays made from recycled materials, while others have been donated to him.

“I do a lot of rebuilding. I try not to buy anything new,“ he said. “Planet Earth is copping a caning. We have to do what we can to look after life on planet earth. There’s no point stargazing if you don’t have a planet to look from.“ Through his many telescopes guests can observe the solar systems and discover facts about the elements viewed. You can find the nearest star to the earth, a mere 4.35 light years away or see the planet Venus 236 million km away.

Owen has seven different 90 minute programs he delivers to guests covering all aspects of astronomy, hoping to deliver them the ’wow factor’.

Man stabbed repeatedly Police are investigating following a wounding in Landsborough on the night of Monday 4.

Initial investigations suggest just after 9pm a 22-year-old local man was walking along Tiverton Place when he was confronted by a group of people known to him in a 2004 Holden Commodore.

A fight followed, which resulted in the man being stabbed repeatedly.

The group then fled in the car and the man managed to get back to his home where he rang triple zero.

He was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Anyone with vision or further information about the incident is urged to contact police.

Investigations are ongoing.

Alleged assault in Noosa Heads A man was taken to Noosa Hospital in a stable condition with facial injuries following an alleged assault off Bottlebrush Avenue at 12.40am on Monday 4 January.

Fatal pedestrian accident Owen Bennedick in his observatory with his home made telescope.

“I try to run shows at at a lower level everyone can understand,“ he said. “Hopefully the excitement will kick in and they’ll take it further.“ Over the years Owen’s shows have been seen by more than 120,000 people from central Queensland to New South Wales and attended by people from universities, schools, from small children to people in their 90s and those with disabilities. He feels he’s done his job if he leaves them wanting more.

“A young fellow came along recently with a scope telescope. He thought he knew everything. By the end of the night he found out he knew nothing,“ he said.

“I want them to get enthusiastic. There is no end to it. It’s one of the few hobbies you can start out with no knowledge or equipment and

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

have a lifetime of enjoyment.“ Astronomy is a hobby that anyone can take on with virtually no money if they’re prepared to put in a bit of an effort to build their own equipment.

Owen is not formally trained but has built up his bank of knowledge through reading, research, talking to experts and visiting other observatories.

“It begins with a dream,“ he said.

Whatever funds Owen makes through his shows goes to his charities to support children in Tanzania and Peru and support the Rural Fire Service and the rest is invested in new equipment and improving his shows.

Around 1.30am on 2 January, police and paramedics were called to the man who lay unconscious on the side of Maroochy Boulevarde.

First aid was rendered immediately, however the Minyama man died on scene a short time later.

Initial investigations suggest the man may have been hit by a vehicle who failed to stop.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has footage from along Maroochy Boulevard between 1am and 1.30am, is encouraged to contact police.

In this new series, Grand Designs guru Kevin McCloud (pictured) sends comedians Jon Richardson, Phil Wang and Alice Levine around the world on missions aiming to discover what lies in store for humankind.

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 7MATE, 8.30pm

Having enjoyed wild success with his fresh take on the classic detective novels of Sherlock Holmes, director Guy Ritchie tries his hand at rebooting this popular 1960s TV series about two spies. Set at the height of the Cold War, CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) is forced to put aside his hostility towards KGB operative Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) as the pair join forces to take down a mysterious criminal organisation. Their only lead is the daughter of a missing German scientist, with Alicia Vikander adding the requisite romance to an engrossing story that’s the perfect blend of comedy, action and drama.

SUNDAY

WHY WOMEN KILL SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is behind this deliciously dark dramedy. Set across three different decades, the series follows three women – 1960s housewife Beth Ann (Ginnifer Goodwin), 1980s socialite Simone (Lucy Liu, pictured) and modern-day lawyer Taylor (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) – who have lived in the same Pasadena mansion and are all cheated on by their respective husbands. In last week’s premiere, Beth Ann and Simone learnt about their husbands’ infidelity, while Taylor’s open marriage was tested. Tonight, Beth Ann tries to spice up her relationship, Simone turns to a friend for solace and Eli (Reid Scott, Veep) grows suspicious about Taylor.

This crime thriller depicts the true story of the 1973 kidnapping of billionaire J. Paul Getty’s grandson (Charlie Plummer) in Italy. The stubborn self-made patriarch (Christopher Plummer) refuses to cooperate with the extortion demands of an organised crime group, causing great distress to the boy’s agonised mother (Michelle Williams, pictured).

Fletcher Chace (Mark Wahlberg) is hired by Getty to secure his grandson’s release, but the stakes become greater as time passes and negotiations stall. The film is visually impressive, and the era is captured beautifully. Director Ridley Scott brings a sure hand to proceedings, and is able to create palpable tension as the thrilling conclusion looms.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

On The Soapbox Ingrid Jackson

Planning for affordability Let’s start with some important definitions.

WHAT IS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY VS AFFORDABLE HOUSING? On the Australian Government’s parliamentary website it states: “The term ‘housing affordability’ usually refers to the relationship between expenditure on housing (prices, mortgage payments or rents) and household incomes.

“The concept of housing affordability is different to the concept of ‘affordable housing’, which refers to low-income or social housing.”

Read more here: https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/ Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_ Library/pubs/BriefingBook45p/HousingAffo rdability?fbclid=IwAR3DAJ1TKTxBWRdGlICJ tIGADW_Oq7WyAAM69tpEMBkPNRM_LGLBUZIvOHw It is important to differentiate these two issues because the problems differ and so do the appropriate solutions.

THE NEW NOOSA PLAN After about 36 in-house councillor workshops between 2016 and 2019 - where councillors and staff fought it out - the new Noosa Plan was finalised and sent off for the last State interest review.

It came back with conditions requiring further amendments and then was ultimately approved after the March elections by the new Council.

I was satisfied that a number of initiatives to foster housing affordability were included and are now in the Noosa planning scheme (see below).

THE NOOSA PLAN - WHAT’S OUT? I was disappointed that the first State interest review knocked back the letting out of granny flats (65 sqm self-contained secondary dwellings with kitchens and laundries), except to extended family/household members.

Whereas I had strongly advocated in favour of letting out such affordable mini homes, the mayor was against. His media release made front page news and perhaps also reached the ears of the State government.

I was also disappointed that the second State interest review did not allow a portion of units (10%) to be relegated for social housing (affordable housing) in the new high density residential zones at Noosa Junction and the Noosa Business Centre (adjacent to Noosa Civic).

Thirdly I was taken aback when councillors Brian Stockwell and Frank Wilkie moved a surprise amendment to make short term letting ‘impact assessable’ and ‘inconsistent use’ in low density residential housing zones. I voted against this reduction of flexibility, but was outnumbered.

Councillors Stockwell, Wilkie and Wellington argued that they were doing this for the sake of housing affordability, but my view continues to be that stopping short term letting of expensive houses near the tourist precincts does not free those houses up for affordable living.

Low income households and Noosa’s key

short bursts (like for holiday periods) or one or two rooms that are home hosted (owners live in). An exception is where an owner can prove ‘existing use rights’ because the house has consistently been used for short term letting.

THE NOOSA PLAN - WHAT’S IN? Here’s the list as confirmed (back then) by council staff: Additional residential units in and adjoining both the Noosa Business Centre [Noosa Civic] and Noosa Junction A new residential precinct In the Noosa Civic area - a mix of housing types including small dwellings Provisions that seek to incentivise construction of a greater number of smaller dwellings. So instead of controlling the number of units and the number of bedrooms, the new planning scheme nominates a building envelope and encourages more units in this space. The plan also offers bonuses (in terms of site cover, plot ratio, car parking, landscaping) if the development is for small dwellings no more than 100 sqm.

To further encourage affordable housing, new detached houses will not be allowed to be built in medium density and high density residential zones All existing relocatable home parks have been protected, including Cooroy Village, and Bougainvillea Gardens and Noosa Glades in Tewantin.

· · · Ingrid Jackson, former Noosa councillor workers in hospitality, retail, health, aged care and the like can’t afford to rent or buy these houses anyway.

Meanwhile, Noosa’s tourism dependent economy suffers due to the negative ripple effect on so many businesses that support such short term letting, including restaurants, shops, cleaners, gardeners and of course agencies.

The new Noosa Plan makes it almost impossible to obtain approval for short term letting of most houses in urban localities, except for

· ·

CLARE STEWART’S MAYORAL MINUTE AFFORDABLE HOUSING Now Mayor Clare Stewart is leading an initiative to address the issue of affordable housing, with the Council at its December Ordinary Meeting agreeing to: “A. Request the CEO to review existing Noosa Council land assets to determine if any such land would be appropriate for the development of social housing; B. Request the CEO to incorporate consideration of priority sector employee housing within the upcoming review of the Local Economic Plan; C. Request the CEO to bring forward a report to a future Council meeting identifying potential amendments to the planning scheme to accelerate the provision of suitable community housing; D. Council continue to negotiate with State and Local community housing providers in the development of an economically efficient model to achieve a mix of public, social and private affordable accommodation within community housing developments; and E. Council continue to work closely with State Member Sandy Bolton and her Housing Action Group.”

I look forward to seeing community input and the implementation of some real solutions. Not just a plan.

Govt doubles USC research block funding to $16m USC Australia will receive nearly $16.4 million in research block grants for 2021, under the Federal Government’s $3 billion university funding announcement.

The funding is up 94 per cent (nearly double) on $8.4 million for 2020, the highest value-growth for the grant of any Australian university for 2021.

USC Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Helen Bartlett said the funding was a welcome investment in USC’s growing capacity to lead its regions in innovation, adaptation, economic recovery and translating 26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 8 January, 2021

research into public solutions.

“Our world and our workforce have changed so much this year, and USC research has played a key role in how we have adapted and will continue to thrive,” Professor Bartlett said.

“Our researchers have not only delivered programs to support our community, but are at the forefront of considering how we, as a country, will move forward.

“They are investigating what the future of work will look like and how we will solve our most pressing problems - from mental health

and employment to climate change.”

The block grants will be used to support research student scholarships, academic salaries, laboratories and research equipment.

Professor Bartlett said the doubling of last year’s USC grant funding was due to the university’s strategic growth of its research capacity, coupled with an increased nationwide focus on the importance of regions.

“There is a new appreciation for the capacity in regions across Australia in terms of population, lifestyle and innovation,” Pro-

fessor Bartlett said.

“And with that, there is a growing awareness that the research we are doing at USC is not only regionally relevant but broadly transferable, with the power to improve our world on a global scale.”

USC currently has 26 areas of research rated as world standard or above in the Excellence in Research for Australia evaluations, including USC’s research flagships such as agricultural and veterinary sciences, nursing, ecology, zoology and environmental sciences.

GOOD FOR YOU, NT! Noosa Today is to be commended on recent writings. Particularly, the interview with Noel Pearson is great reading and important for the whole community to pick up on just who he is. Noel slips in and out and around Noosa; seemingly gets little attention, but maybe that is the best thing for a person of his level. Too much attention can be personally problematic to one’s life.

Interviewing Noel would contain its challenges to be in touch with the complexities of his philosophical take on contemporary matters, on the history of the frontier and the trajectory of black/white relations, now going through some succinct difficulties. Good work.

I listen to pronouncements, talk to people and read whatever is available, but I have to say that I still don’t have a good grasp on what is wanted or what is coming with respect to Aboriginal futures. I think that they are not resolved in any event, as to where they would like to be in 10 plus years, except better. It is truly complex, the whole matter.

And good for you, NT, in running that article about Cherbourg. Identity, family, clan, place, are all important. We have only just begun to understand the depth of their history.

TROUBLE ON THE FARM Down in the chook pen, the preening, cocksure Roosters are unable to fly; they run around like headless chooks squawking, “The sky is not falling, the sky is not falling!!” The Old Australorps cackle, knowing productivity is down and nest eggs are in short supply.

NO PLAN CHANGE NEEDED Question, Why does a proposal for affordable housing necessitate an alteration to the Noosa Plan? Answer, it shouldn’t. This appears to be a Trojan Horse for high rise in Noosa. If the developments are kept to 3 stories, why the need for an alteration to the Plan? In the meantime, following the lead of other towns in tourism areas, stricter rules on Air B n Bs will free up cheaper housing for low paid workers. For example, not allowing them in suburban areas. A win for the neighbours, and a win for the workers.

GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND Early Sunday morning we had a phone call from a dear friend who moved to Bribie Island from Tewantin two years ago.

She asked if we would look after Polly (her little dog) as she and her sister who lives in Brisbane had been asked to meet her brother and his family who were on holiday in Noosa for a Christmas Lunch.

Of course we said yes as we miss not seeing her and Polly as often as we used to.

They arrived dropped off Polly and left to meet their family. On return they told us they had turned up without booking at GTs on Gympie Terrace as they had eaten there before when on holiday in Noosa and when they knew it as “Elvis.“ Although booked out the restaurant made room for them in the area which they have reserved for whoever provides the afternoon musical entertainment. Just as long as they could finish their meals by 2.00 pm.

They were more than satisfied with those terms as our friend and her sister had to drive back to Bribie that same afternoon anyway.

They had their Christmas family get together and were more than appreciative and satisfied with GTs for going over and above the usual to provide customers with good food and good service.

We were also happy to see our friend and her sister, but mostly for the few hours with Polly.

So a good time was had by all. As they say.

I bet there would be other instances of Noosa Hospitality and how many would drive that distance for a meal and family get-together?

They do it often in Noosa Shire I would guarantee if you read the accolades for our restaurants in Noosa Today.

ANTHEM CHANGES Changing one word in our 19th century-written anthem still leaves Australia way behind our times. Judith Durham has re-written the words of ‘I am Australian’ and it captures the

very essence of what it is to be Australian.

Let’s move into the third decade of the 21st century with a song the we can really relate to.

And while we are at it, what about losing that colonial relic of a flag, to something quintessentially Australian. As a sixth generation Australian, with immigrant children, I propose these two changes to put our parochial past behind us!

Joy Ringrose, Pomona I am Australian I came from the dreamtime From the dusty red soil plains I am the ancient heart The keeper of the flames I Stood upon the rocky shore I watched the tall ships come For forty thousand years I’ve been the first Australian I came upon the prison ships Bound down by iron chains I cured the land Endured the lash And waited for the rains I’m a settler I’m a farmers wife On a dry and barren run A convict and a free man I became Australian I’m a daughter of a digger Who sought the mother load The girl became a women On the long and dusty road I’m a child of the depression I saw the good time come I’m a bushy I’m a battler I am Australian We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We’ll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian I’m a teller of stories I’m a singer of songs I am Albert Namatjira And I paint the ghostly gums I’m Clancy on his horse I’m Ned Kelly on the run I’m the one who waltzed matilda I am Australian I’m the hot wind from the desert I’m the black soil of the plain I’m the mountains and the valleys I’m the drowned and flooding rains I am the rock I am the sky The rivers when they run The spirit of this great land I am Australian We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We’ll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We’ll share a dream

Keeping our schools safe During the school holiday period, empty schools can experience higher levels of criminal activity, becoming targets for unlawful entry, arson, stealing, graffiti and property damage - all of which become a cost to the community.

The School Watch program is a partnership between the Department of Education and Protective Services Group, Queensland Police Service.

The program aims to reduce criminal activity in Queensland schools and encourages everyone to look out for after-hours crime in our schools.

Department of Education said that there were 91 reported instances of vandalism and 55 break and enters at schools during the 2019/20 Christmas holidays, but these numbers could have been much higher if not for the 181 calls made to the School

Watch number to report suspicious activity during this period.

Mansfield State High School Principal Karen Tanks said that she is confident that the premises will be monitored diligently so that all facilities are ready to go for the return of all students at the beginning of each term.

“It is always encouraging to know that Protective Services works with us to maintain the integrity and security of our facilities,” Mrs Tanks said.

This sentiment was echoed by Protective Services Group Client Liaison Officer, Jessica Hayward, who said that the School Watch program is critical in assisting Protective Services to prevent incidents.

If you see anything suspicious, don’t attempt to intervene. Instead, call the School Watch number of 13 17 88.

Newcastle’s Pelican wings Sunshine Coast Airport this week welcomed a new carrier, Fly Pelican, to fly to Newcastle as part of a three-times-a-week seasonal service operating until the end of March.

The service will be operated by a 19 seat Jetstream turbo prop, and has been timed to make the most of the summer months. It was secured with support of the Queensland Government’s $15 million Aviation Recovery Fund.

Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie said he was excited to welcome Newcastle based airline, Fly Pelican, to the Coast for the first time.

“Locals are craving new experiences and destinations, and this Fly Pelican service provides a link not just to the vibrant city of Newcastle, but to Port Stephens’ stunning coastline and the Hunter Valley’s renowned food and wine,” Mr Brodie said.

“It also opens up a significant new visitor market for local Sunshine Coast tourism operators, in what has been a very challenging environment over the last 10 months.

“We’ve been really pleased to work with the Queensland Government, Visit Sunshine Coast, Tourism Noosa and our airline partners to build new destinations and new opportunities for our region.”

Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said more connections to new destinations created further awareness and visitation for Noosa and its tourism.

“Newcastle and Noosa have a synergy with beautiful beaches, a great dining scene and lots to explore on our doorstep, so I have no doubt the route will be a success and we look forward to welcoming new guests and reconnecting with repeat visitors,“ Ms Anderson said.

Fly Pelican CEO Marty Hawley said the airline was delighted to connect two worldclass visitor destinations over the summer months.

28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 8 January, 2021

Sunshine Coast Airport has welcomed a new carrier, Fly Pelican.

“It is really exciting to launch this new service, linking the Sunshine Coast to Newcastle for the first time ever,” Mr Hawley said.

“We encourage locals at both ends to explore a beautiful part of Australia, support the service and help make it a long-term proposition.”

Visit Sunshine Coast Industry & Membership Development Manager Andrew Fairbairn welcomed the commencement of the new route, which reflected a growing visitor market.

“One of the most significant trends of 2020 was the growth in regional NSW travel to the Sunshine Coast, and the new direct services from Newcastle will help accelerate this trend.

“There are over one million people in the Hunter Valley/Central Coast region, and the Sunshine Coast makes an ideal destination for short-breaks, family holidays and lovers of the great outdoors.”

The service operates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Ticket prices start from $199 one-way and are available at flypelican.com.au or through travel agents.

New Year fitness kick As the new year begins it’s the ideal time to get fit and healthy.

The Noosa Aquatic Centre has launched an introductory offer for the new year with any 10 visits for $49.

This is a perfect way to try out their range of

activities including swimming, gym, aqua aerobics, circuit classes or adult squad sessions.

But you’ll need to hurry as the offer ends on 31 January.

Lunch with the dancers

By Annie Grossman, Annie’s Books On Peregian After a wonderful lunch event with Mary Li, author of Mary’s Last Dance, internationally renowned ballerina and wife of Li Cunxin, Mao’s Last Dancer, public demand has led her to return.

Due to the popularity of our event, and the enormous sales that Mary’s book is achieving, we have invited her to Combe back to Noosa in January. She will be joined by her husband Li whose book has sold literally millions of copies and whose story was made into a popular film. Also joining Mary and Li will be Sophie Li, whose story is one of the major themes in Mary’s book.

Mary is the wife of Li Cunxin, an internationally successful dancer, and a household name since the publication of Mao’s Last Dancer in 2003, and these days is the artistic director of the Queensland Ballet. Mary has also had a stellar career in ballet, and these days is the highly regarded Ballet Mistress of the Queensland Ballet. Her book, Mary’s Last Dance, is the story of Mary’s life, a Rockhampton girl finding her passion for dance, and achieving an international career. Mary met her husband through dance, and the passages of the book where Mary describes dancing with Li are the highlight in my opinion; very vivid and passionate. Mary also tells the story of their daughter Sophie. When Sophie was born, life seemed perfect, but then Mary and Li found that their precious girl was profoundly deaf. This started a brand new and very difficult journey for them all. This is a wonderful family story and Mary is a remarkable woman.

This will be an extremely entertaining evening, and a chance to look into the exciting world of international ballet.

Tickets will be strictly limited, making this

New music destination styled for Noosa iso Noosa is the latest destination in Villa Dayze’s iso series and journey to the full length feature - Hotel Quaranteena. Each track is inspired by a delightfully decadent part of the world the musician and producer dreamed of being while in lockdown.

For iso Noosa, Oceania based musician and producer Stephen Brown makes his way home to Australia.

Noosa is a resort town situated on Southern Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. It is known for its golden, sun drenched beaches and laid back surf culture.

If colourful bays and picturesque natural surroundings aren’t enough, Noosa is also filled with hatted restaurants, hip cafes and luxury day spas. iso Noosa has a relaxed, per-

cussive beat intro with bass that builds throughout into blended guitar and keyboard.

The result: a sound that reflects the natural beauty and stunning location that is Noosa.

Villa Dayze came about as the effects of 2020 hit and Stephen Brown pivoted from touring live music acts to creating Chill, Lounge and Downtempo music on a global scale.

The Villa Dayze iso series has received global support from leading DJs across the Chill and Lounge space and has had inclusions in mixes and radio shows worldwide.

The final destination Hotel Quaranteena will be released on Friday 8 January on Spotify.

Time to go fossicking There’s been an upsurge in the number of people fossicking for gold, sapphires, emeralds and opals in Queensland’s hotspots for precious metals and gems.

More than 18,000 fossickers’ licences have been issued in just the last two financial years.

With gold worth nearly $2,500Aus, fossicking can be very rewarding.

“Whether you’re hunting for gold in Charters Towers and Clermont, searching for sapphires around Emerald or looking for the vibrant and colourful gemstones of Agate Creek, and western opals at Yowah and Opalton - Queensland is a fossicker’s paradise,” Resourced Minister Scott Stewart said.

“It’s been a tough year for Queenslanders but we’re encouraging everyone to get out and support our regional communities and explore our state’s natural beauty by urging more families to put fossicking on your must-do list these holidays.”

Mr Stewart said the chance for a heart stopping, eureka moment could be just a stone’s throw away with numerous and proven, rich fossicking areas in all corners of the state.

The lure of a very valuable find grips so many fossickers, and with very good reason in Queensland.

Just three years ago, a big sapphire, the Pride of Tomahawk was discovered at Anakie.

It was found by an amateur fossicker and it’s described as being the size of a golf ball.

And one of the rarest and most significant sapphires found in the history of gem mining was discovered in central Queensland more than 80 years ago.

The Stonebridge Green weighs a huge 202

carats and is owned by a fourth-generation gem miner at Anakie who is a major collector of unique Australian sapphires.

Also, in 2017, a prospector found a 1.1763kg gold nugget in a paddock in the Charters Towers region. It was just 15cm below ground and was discovered by a prospector using a metal detector.

Mr Stewart said during the Covid19 intrastate travel restrictions, fossickers have been especially welcome in many far flung, small centres of the state.

“Find your fortune using hand tools such as picks, shovels, hammers, sieves, shakers, electronic detectors and other similar tools,” he said.

“You can collect gemstones, ornamental stones, mineral specimens, alluvial gold - including nuggets and some fossil specimens, but not meteorites or fossils of vertebrate animals.”

Mr Stewart reminded fossickers it was important that everyone does their part to stay safe while visiting these areas and fill in the holes after digging for others safety.

“State Government officers undertake targeted checks on site to ensure fossicking activities are happening safely and that people are following the rules,” Mr Stewart said.

The first step to starting your fossicking adventure in Queensland is by going online and purchasing a licence.

A month-long licence will cost a family just $12.40 or $8.65 for an individual.

Information on fossicking licences as well as maps and rules can be found at https:// www.qld.gov.au/recreation/activities/areasfacilities/fossicking

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Memory Lane - riverside Trevor Pepys reviews Grenny’s, Noosaville Back in the early days of settlement, when old Walter Hay had just blazed the first trails into town, one of the first to ride his covered wagon in and set up camp was one Grenville Duckworth, who opened Grenny’s Seawater Cafe on Hastings Street in 1982.

Grenny became justly famous for a variety of seafood specials but none more so than his seafood Marseilles, which foodie doyen Leonie Palmer described as “a peasant dish of prawns, bug tails, mussels and crab simmered in garlic, white wine and fish stock - delicious”. In the ‘90s when Hastings Street landlord greed began to force all the interesting people off the strip, Grenny went upriver on Gympie Terrace and splashed his famous signature dish on the front wall of his humble shopfront in signwriting that was bigger than Seawater Cafe.

The signwriting has gone but Grenny’s remains, and with seafood Trev’s holiday theme this week, it seemed appropriate to roll up on one of the New Year period’s lovelier evenings and grab a front row table where Trev and the missus could watch the stars dance on the river while the white cockatoos in the trees and the funky band playing beneath them vied for our attention. On such a blissed out summer evening that could have been at any time over the almost 40 years that Grenny has been a seafood constant in Noosa - except perhaps for the creaking of knees and hips as we lower ourselves into chairs - Trev ordered a bottle of the keenly-priced Marlborough pinot gris

by Little Angel ($29) and a plate of bread and dips to be going on with while he surveyed the menu.

And there it was, tucked unprepossessingly between the duckling and the eye fillet: seafood Marseilles, “a hearty meal of Moreton Bay bugs, prawns, reef fish, mussels, scallops and calamari saut¨¦ed with garlic, chilli, and julienne of vegetables steeped with wine, fish fumet and coulis” ($40). For Trevor, there was no choice. Straight out of the pages of history and into his salivating gob. Meanwhile, the missus decided on the Laguna Bay crepe ($28) an “oldfashioned style combination of seafood folded with creamed spinach, mozzarella cheese in a herb crepe, mornay glaced and topped with prawn and smoked salmon”.

There was a wait, but we didn’t mind. The wine was refreshing and the music from the park entertaining. But from the moment our mains hit the deck a wave of deja vu rose up from the river and engulfed Trev like a sudden tsunami, but not in a good way. It occurred to him that this was exactly what they might have ordered and eaten in the 1990s, but had it stood the test of time?

Answer: no, not exactly. The seafood Marseilles was a perfectly adequate super-serve of all of the afore-mentioned fish and crustaceans on the shell, over which a thick, creamy, gluggy sauce had been thoughtfully poured to drowning point. Without access to a bucket, there was no way Trev could remove enough of the overly rich liquid to get to the animals below it, although when he was able to rip a bug apart, there was nothing wrong with the flavour. The dish looked for all the world like Grenny had written the recipe and the rules of presentation on the kitchen wall in a previous century and they were not to be varied.

Seafood Marseilles Distracting the missus by pointing out a fat person trying to cross the road, Trev sought respite in a chunk of the crepe, the texture of which was cheesy and appealingly old-fashioned as the menu had suggested. But what lay within was, sad to say, bland and only faintly fishy.

A trip down memory lane on a beautiful evening, it certainly was that, and Trev was home with a glass of good pinot noir in his fist in time to watch the Brisbane Heat finally score a couple of points.

The verdict: The past is a foreign country and we shouldn’t have gone there. What other diners were having looked good. We’ll give Grenny’s another go, looking forward, not back.

Crepe and the view.

Trev’s guide to the best fish and chip takeaways On the rare nights that Trev is not dining with princes and paupers at the best tables of the village, and the laziness of the missus being well known, his default is a take-away fish and chips in front of the telly. These are a few of his favourites.

Noosa Harbour Fish Market, Noosa Marina One of the best value takeaways is their seafood combo for two ($32) with two crumbed fish, six calamari rings, chips and tartare.

But this is also a great place to eat cheap and dine in at a table on the wharf, especially if the SandFlys are playing across the way at the Harbour Wine Bar. Off The Hook, Sunshine Beach “Yummy calamari and sweet potato chips ($11.50), and the kids like the burgers.”

Clearly Trev did not write this. Trev does

not say yummy. But the recommendation stands.

Nosh Express, Hastings Street A shout here for the grilled barramundi ($15 with chips) and wide choice of salads (from $8).

Captain’s Daughter, Peregian Beach Trev doesn’t go this far for his holidays, but the Walk The Plank fish burger ($10) is outstanding.

Noosaville Fish Market No longer the funky fish shop pictured, but recommended for the seafood pack for two ($34.80) which has a bit of everything except a fillet of fish.

Red Emperor, Gympie Terrace Wide variety of fish, but try the crumbed whiting (four pieces for $10.50).

Fish and chips pack from the new Noosaville Fish Market.Supplied.

Seafood Connexion, Weyba Road, Noosaville Trev’s pick for convenience and best value in town - the cod pack for two ($25) exceptional, fast, dependable.

Blast from the past - Noosa’s funkiest fish shop.

The jazz age of F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby inspired a New Year’s Eve party of glitz and glamour at the Tewantin Noosa RSL Club on Thursday night. There was music and song and Blackjack tables (with play money) set up at the club to conjure up the flapper culture of the US Long Island 1920s as people welcomed in 2021.

Warning out on stonefish

By Arthur Gorrie Ugly by name, ugly by appearance and nature, the Queensland stonefish is once again a threat to holiday visitors to Gympie’s Cooloola Coast, Barnacles Cafe owner Les Dunstan has warned.

Mr Dunstan says the evil looking minimonsters lie in wait for the unwary, their barbs containing a poison which victims say causes such pain that it makes imminent death seem like a blessed relief.

And shoes are not necessarily any protection, the waterfront business owner said.

Cooloola Coast commercial diver Kev Phillips is one victim who has no wish to repeat the experience, after a stonefish barb penetrated his steel mesh glove while he worked on mooring maintenance near the mouth of the Mary River.

“The only first aid is to shove the affected area into boiling water, or as close as you can stand,” he said.

That cooks the proteins that make up the venom.

“The only problem is it cooks your skin as well,” he said of the injury he still remembers and which still causes him numbness in the arm years later.

“I could feel it moving up my arm and once it gets into your body, your heart is next,” he said.

Mr Phillips found himself willingly submerging his arm in an electric urn full of boiling water, “because it hurt less than the venom.”

That kept him in the land of the living until

he could get to hospital,” he said. He was treated for both stonefish poisoning and second to third degree burns on his arm.

Meanwhile Mr Dunstan says the deadly, and very ugly, fish love to congregate on concrete underwater structures, like the mooring Mr Phillips was working on.

“They are often found at boat ramps,” he said.

That includes one favourite ramp at Crab Creek, at the other end of Tin Can Bay from his Norman Point business.

Mr Dunstan has a small collection of the creatures, dead and preserved in jars at his cafe.

That, he says, is the only place he wants to see them.

Crab Creek boat ramp, where stonefish sometimes gather and present an unseen threat to boaties.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Ally and Emma Broderick caught these two thumper mud crabs in the upper Noosa River.

Picture: WWW.FISHINGNOOSA.COM.AU

Scott Davis won the $100.00 Davo’s Tackle World/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize with these quality Spanish mackerel which he caught at Sunshine Reef while fishing from his kayak.

Mixed bag to start 2021 Welcome to 2021 and we hope you all enjoyed a safe festive season.

We have certainly seen some mixed up weather with significant rainfall falling across the state with more to come. This has been great for the rivers as they are starting to push out all the weed and silt that has been building up. It has seen the fishing become a little harder but with the full moon now behind us things should start to wake up again.

Offshore conditions haven’t been easy to deal with and most days have been no go days unless you are on a charter. Last year we had some days where smaller boats made it out but residual wind chop and ground swell made for bumpy conditions.

Sunshine Reef continues to be the more popular stretch and with some very nice coral trout and sweetlip getting caught you can see why. 8 ball sinkers with a snelled 6/0 octopus circle rig on 40lb leader and a whole pilchard work very well here. Be sure to get stuck into any fish as they can return to the reef or get taken by sharks.

The new Shimano Saragossa reels are in stock and are proving a big hit. The new models are lighter and smother than ever before with many new sizes. We should start to see some mackerel turning up as the occasional Spanish and spotty mackerel gets caught along the inshore reefs. Garfish continue to be popular troll baits and now is the time to get your weighted chin guards and wire ready before

the fish arrive in numbers.

The Noosa River has had some great flathead getting near 80cm in length. These fish taking live baits and 4 inch soft plastics like the Chasebaits prawn. These plastics also work well for mangrove jack and some cracking fish have been caught during the daytime too.

Best bet with all the rain is to fish around the lower estuary with the dog beach and the river mouth rocks the better places. Trevally have also been around in the lower estuary with Woods Bay and Weyba bridge great places to cast small jigs like the Majorcraft Jig para and burn them back for the bite if the fish are busting up. If you are finding the bite hard make sure you stay in the lower estuary.

Freshwater has seen the bass firing up and

taking lures fished close to the bottom. The Jackall TN60 is one of the best lures for this style of fishing. Having a great sounder really helps in the fresh and side scan is a tool you should have. This helps you locate the schools which you would otherwise miss running standard sonar. Don’t forget to get your SIPS permits before you fish the lakes.

Now for all the latest information log onto www.fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Davo’s Tackle World, Davo’s Boating and Outdoors in Noosa and Davo’s Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Head to head - time and

By Erle Levey It has been about time and space.

Where I fitted.

Where I fitted into the new daily timetable and where I fitted into life.

When the Covid-19 pandemic came to Australia this year and we went into lockdown, it looked like we would have plenty of time.

Time to do all those things needed doing around the home.

Time to recalibrate our lives - whether it be a work-from-home situation, whether it be a new career, whether it be how to enable schooling away from the classroom.

Time to re-assess our priorities.

And what better way than to go on a walk to figure it all out.

Through the years I have started to understand more and more that walking is about the journey, not the destination.

Having grown up with one grandfather a coal miner and the other a farmer, it was always a matter of being active.

“You have two good legs, use them,’’ was what we were told.

Travel has taught me it’s not so much what you see but what you experience. And walking allows you to do that.

Along the way you can be astounded by the sheer magnificence or raw beauty of landscapes, the surprise encounters with native wildlife, and be impressed by the built environment, whether through history or the contemporary designs.

Yet it’s also about the people you meet along the way, the stories they tell, the knowledge they share.

Walking is also a release. A time when you can relax your mind and free up the thought patterns.

There is a sense of achievement when you reach a certain point at the end of the day. Yet along the way it allows you time for reflection.

Time for different thoughts to flood into your head.

With this in mind, we decided to undertake the Coastal Pathway along the Sunshine Coast.

The shared pathway stretches from Pelican Waters and Bell’s Creek in the south to Tewantin in the north … a total of 140km.

The starting point would be Noosa Heads and finish at Caloundra Head. A walk to further appreciate the Queensland coastline.

The pathway runs beside beaches, parks and leisure areas. And the plan was not to have a plan – walk along the beach, down the path, through parks or along streets as we felt like.

If something stood out, we could take a closer look. There was no timeline, just to get to a pre-determined point each day.

That would be where one car had been left, while sharing the second car to the start point for the day.

Some food and drink would be packed and there are plenty of cafes, shops and restaurants along the way.

It’s the same with a place to sleep the night.

So many options.

Yet for this walk it would be home in bed each night.

The beach carpark at the eastern end of Hastings St would be a good spot to start the walk. A walk back through time as well as into the future.

The first thing we notice is how the sand has built up inside First Point, creating a clean surf break ... even at Little Cove and at the national park.

The beaches play such an important part of Australian life … whether feeling the sand between your toes or the sun on your skin, the exhilarating freshness of salt water and the physical well-being from swimming.

The beach is where everyone can go. It reflects our egalitarian nature.

And the beachfront carpark allows anyone and everyone, especially those with a disability, to sit and enjoy the beach.

From here you can take the 200 steps to Upper Hastings Street or choose the boardwalk that hugs the coastline past First Point.

Keep a look out for koalas, as you can sometimes see them during the day asleep in the fork of a eucalypt tree.

The beauty of Noosa unfolds before us, and it is protected from the southerly change that has been around for a couple of days.

space in a time of Covid Little Cove is one of those places you fall in love with at first glance.

A gentle sea breeze, the luminescent bluegreen colour of the water, the filtered glimpses of the ocean and Noosa’s North Shore through the trees.

Not wide, open views. Subtle. A beautiful blend of light and shade.

Heading towards the national park entrance, there’s a group of young people taking a selfie from the last point before the gate.

I tell them that was the spot one of the great surfing photos was taken, in the 1960s - by John Witzig and it was of Bob McTavish beside an FX Holden with a perfect line-up of waves in the background.

You you can grab a coffee at the information centre inside the park itself.

Take the time to sit here beneath gum trees and the pandanus palms. Rest and reflect on those who have been here long before as well as the times we have enjoyed in what would have to be one of the most interesting places you could imagine.

Respect the environment … the plants, the birds, the animals. Respect the dreamtime spirits.

I remember television and radio presenter Hamish McDonald speaking at an Australian Institute of Architects evening.

He reminded us that the welcome to coun-

try dates back thousands of years. It shows respect, not to enter someone’s home until invited.

It’s also a chance to build relationships, share knowledge. After all, our land is our heritage.

As a journalist, McDonald said, we look for pictures.

No matter where, among the first things we notice is the buildings. The homes, the churches.

We see inside those places.

They give shape to the place, identity to the people.

Our buildings tell the story of our place.

This is a place of optimism. Exciting, bold and adventurous.

We need to acknowledge the diversity of the people who call this place home.

They provide so much inspiration for what makes this country.

And this pathway through Noosa National Park is one of the best you could wish for.

It leads past so many coves and beaches, rock pools and cliffs. Through all shades of green as the trees at times form canopies and at other times it weaves among open native grassland.

The first few kilometres are wheelchair friendly but not after that.

Ti-Tree was such an exotic surfing spot for

Double it to 20-30km if you like.

Whereas Cinque Terre is rugged cliffs dropping down to the sea, terraced farms and centuries-old villages, the Sunshine Coastal Pathway takes you along an even more ancient landscape but with some stunning contemporary houses scattered along it.

Sunshine Beach village is a further 1.3km.

It has been an 8km walk in one hour 40 minutes of moving time … but add half hour for a cup of tea and sandwich. Longer if you have a swim.

What we found was very few locals know about the coastal pathway. Even though it is designed to be a world class scenic route connecting the coast - a way to explore the beautiful and varied coastline by walking, jogging or cycling.

Along the way we will pass coastal resorts, enjoy the beauty of national parks and conservation areas, walk through seaside villages and cross rivers to major residential and commercial centres.

World-acclaimed surf breaks, yachting marinas and fishing fleets – they will all be part of the passing landscape.

It’s a journey well worth taking. I had forgotten how good it can be.

young surfers in the ’60s. Away from Main Beach, First Point, Johnsons and National.

The Boiling Pot, Dolphin Point, Fairy Pools and Granite Bay are some of the landmarks.

Then you come to Noosa Head itself and Hells Gate was where you could come face to face with the extreme elements ... the glorious days and those filled with cyclonic conditions.

The headland is bold, exposed, rugged. The ocean is deep blue. There is the stunted growth of trees and grasses. And in the background, the bushland bird song.

From here, you drop down to the curve of beach at Alexandria Bay, but the conditions here can sometimes be dangerous for swimming.

This is the 4.5km mark. Then the path continues up over a headland and on to North Sunshine Beach. Stone steps lead down to the sand.

Look up the steep sand dunes to some exceptional houses.

This walk reminds you how good some of the architecture is.

It also reminds you how good this walk is.

It’s world class. Like the famed Cinque Terre walk in Italy.

Interesting, accessible, surprising, spectacular ... and all within reasonable distances. You can walk 10-12km a day and find a place to rest for the night.

Chasing points down south Outstanding Noosa golfer George Giblett is in Melbourne this week, taking on the best players in the Australian Master of the Amateurs championship and chasing precious ranking points that may help seal his future as an international star.

Giblett, a member of both Noosa and Cooroy, is keen to secure a place at one of the leading American colleges and perhaps find his way onto a North American pro tour - an ambition thwarted by Covid-19, and his inability to improve his world ranking because so few tournaments have been in the past year.

“So this event is pretty important to me,” Giblett, 19, said as he prepared for a practice round at Victoria Golf Club prior to the 72-hole stroke play championship.

“My game’s in good shape and I’m hitting the ball well.”

The Australian Master of the Amateurs is one of the country’s premier golf events. It has been won in the past by players like Jason Day (2006), Rickie Fowler (2009), Tommy Fleetwood (2010) and Bryson De Chambeau (2015).

After this event, Giblett will look forward to playing in the Australian Amateur Championship in Adelaide in early February and, perhaps, the Riversdale Cup in Melbourne the following month.

“It all depends on the pandemic,” he said.

“Even now I’m not sure whether I’ll have to quarantine when I get home, or for how long. I know I’ll have to be tested.”

With international borders still closed, this year’s Australian Master of the Amateurs will be contested mainly by Australia’s best amateurs, as well as a handful of players from southeast Asia. Only the top 45 male and 25 female players will compete in the final round on Friday.

Here’s cheers to Scotch Each year, a band of golfers gets together at Noosa Springs to celebrate all things Scotch the country, its golfing heritage and, of course, the whisky.

The number of players, once modest, has increased significantly with more than 60 men and women this year taking part in Scotch Day activities.

They included plenty of golf - an Ambrose event on Friday, a stableford competition on Saturday and a ladies day on Monday - a dinner and a presentation.For the past couple of years the event has been sponsored by William Grant & Sons, and the players have been quick to sample the sponsor’s product - particularly Glenfiddich scotch and Hendricks gin.

A piper was on hand on the first tee to send off the groups and the William Grant state sales manager, former Adelaide AFL star Nathan Bock, distributed the prizes.

The happiest player was Noosa Springs member David Hay, whose 42 points on Saturday won him a bottle of 21-year-old Glenfiddich. Runner-up was Chris Collinge, with Graham Young third. Mike Weston had the longest drive.

David Hay continued his good form last week when he had 38 points in the midweek stableford competition, only to lose on a countback. But his wife Lee-Ann upheld the family honour by taking the ladies event on the same day with 42 points.

Max honours his mate with a great round Max Yann and his friend Brian Durham had been mates for years - ever since they were foundation students together at Melbourne’s Monash University nearly 60 years ago.

Durham and his wife spent Christmas with the Yanns at their Noosa home before heading off to Uluru, where suddenly and tragically Brian Durham suffered a heart attack and died a week ago.

Max Yann heard the sad news at 5am on Saturday - then, inexplicably, went out and played the best round of golf of his life to win Noosa Springs’ Monthly Medal, shooting 67 to score by three strokes.

“I really focused,” explained Max. “I felt I was dedicating the round to my friend Brian and I have no doubt the golfing gods were 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 8 January, 2021

Know how far to hit your driver TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER I’m sure you know how far your seven iron goes and I’m also certain you know how far your five iron goes.

But do you really know how far you hit your driver? I’d guess probably not, because you just try to hit the ball as far as you possibly can. And that is where the problem lies. The reason you hit your seven iron is because it flies a specific length and you achieve a high success rate as you swing accordingly. So, to achieve more success with a driver, we all need to give our driver a specific length to hit it to.

Avoid standing on the tee and trying to hit the ball to infinity and beyond.

Develop a swing tempo for your driver that gives you a consistent and achievable length. In doing so, you’ll swing a lot easier and find the fairway more often.

Good golfing.

Brian Durham was a former captain of Keysborough Golf Club in Melbourne and, at 78, was still a fulltime teacher.

Max, though, is retired and has been a permanent Noosa resident for the past 10 years.

He’s had a home in Noosa since the 1970s, however, and spent time here whenever he could get away from his job as head of a national market research company based in Melbourne.

Before relocating to Noosa, Max was a member at Victoria and Sorrento golf clubs but readily concedes his golf game is modest.“I made it to B grade for a while, but I’m a C grade golfer,” he said. “I started too late. But I can tell you I’ve never had a better score than I had on Saturday.”

Headland group will be back at Cooroy A group of Headland golfers, midway through a summer golfing safari at different Sunshine Coast courses, stopped off at Cooroy on Saturday and left a few hours later with a swag of prizes.

Paul Henricks won the club’s A grade competition with a nett 70, while his buddy Chris Pace was runner-up, just a stroke behind.

Paul, Chris and six of their mates are taking advantage of the break in competition play at Headland to sample other Coast courses.

Cooroy was the fourth of eight courses on their list - and, as far as Paul is concerned, one of the best.

“We had a great day,” he said. “Everybody was very welcoming, the course was in wonderful condition and the greens were great.

“Only one of us had played at Cooroy before and we were really impressed. We’ll be back for sure.”

The group allocates points for each outing and will crown a champion at the end of their eight-course journey. Midway leader is Jason Biel, despite being unable to play at Cooroy.

Play Noosa Springs at reduced fees Local golfers - those who live anywhere on the Sunshine Coast or in Gympie - can now play Noosa Springs every Tuesday and Sunday for just $79, and that includes use of an electric cart.

And children aged under 17 can play free any day after 3pm, as long as they’re accompanied by a paying adult.

Noosa Springs has introduced safety measures to minimise the spread of Covid-19. All carts are sanitised after use, bunker rakes have been removed, flags are not to be touched on greens, and numbers are limited in the Golf Shop.

But that does nothing to diminish the pleasure of playing a golf course that is consistently rated among Australia’s top 100. Ring the Golf Shop on 5440 3325 to book, or email golf@noosasprings.com.au.

Our People Ron Lane

Our youth - our future Despite having just turned 19, Electra Outram has her goals in life firmly set- in concrete.

First, it’s the world of sport. Her career in sport started when her parents enrolled her, at age 5, as a Nipper in the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving club.

Regarding her future, this started two years ago, when on graduating from Sunshine Beach State High School, she immediately enrolled as a student in the University of the Sunshine Coast, Sippy Downs. On doing so she skipped the gap year and undertook to study for a double degree: Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Commerce (accounting).

Now having successfully finished her second year of study, this young lady, Electra said, “I couldn’t be happier, I am enjoying Uni life: the lectures and making new friends, everything about it is great. And most important of all, I am doing what I want to do.

On completion of my studies, I am seriously thinking of corporate law or contracts; but at this stage, I am definitely keeping my options open.”

However, because of the heavy study demands caused by embarking on a double degree, arranging training programs required for her sporting life, can be difficult. “However, I have found that by being flexible regarding times, and by sometimes being prepared to train separately from the club I have found it can work. But being flexible is the key to the whole problem, the most important thing.”

Her love of competing in surf sports started as a nipper. Electra started her career in the nippers at Sunshine Beach as a U/6, but changed to Noosa as an u/14.and immediately started to compete. In doing so she was immediately attracted to the iron woman event. “The iron woman drew my attention because it had all different disciplines, the swim, board, ski and run. To me this was the real challenge. I became heavily committed right through to u/17 and decided to continue right through to now.”

The results have been nothing short of outstanding: winning both the u/14 and u/15 Australian Iron Woman Championships.

However not just restricting herself to this one event she, as a u/17, finished 3rd in the Australian surf race final. Then in the 2017/18 season, while still 16 yrs. of age, she teamed up with Jordy Mercer and Lana Rogers ( under coach Darren Mercer) to win the Australian Open Women’s Taplin Relay: this event which

Electra Outram

consists of a ski , swim and board, saw Electra paddle the board. “This was at Perth and we had a glassy flat shore dump but the results for us could not have been better. For me that

was a great year: 3rd in the national surf race, won the Australian Taplin and also, named a member of the Australian Youth Team. For me it could not have been better.”

Her next major carnival the Summer of Surf saw her, for the first time, contest the Nutri Grain Series. This she did for two successive seasons, finishing 13th overall both years.

Also, in that second year 2018/19 she won the U/19 female ski at the Australian Titles. This year, health regulations permitting, she will contest the Nutri Grain Championship. This will consist of 6 rounds over 3 weekends, with each weekend having two rounds. “It is going to be tough, one round Saturday and one on Sunday,” said Electra, “with the starting date hopefully to be January. The series has already been cancelled once so it has really made our training times very difficult . To be peaked both physically and mentally for a major carnival, have it cancelled , then start again is unbelievable.”

What does it take to be so successful? The answer is simple. First you wake at 4.45am, go to the pool , swim from 5.30 till 7am (4-6 kl), 12 noon, board or ski paddle (1.30 hrs),afternoon 30-minute run, then finish off with a 1-hour gym session. But above all you have to have the self- discipline and dedication: what makes her really successful is her personality, happy and friendly with lots of laughs. And her great sense of humour. However, we must never loose sight of the fact ,that this comes after many hours of lectures and study, as a student at the Sippy Downs University. Apart from the commitments of representing her club in competition, she also has her beach duties as a member of Patrol 2.to fulfill: and this she does.

Away from all this, her main interests are first of all- family: “I have a passion for the ocean, I really love it, I have been going with the family, (mum dad and two brothers), to the beach since I was very little.” Then there is reading. “I am a real book- worm, read anything I can get my hands on.’’ Then she adds with a laugh, “Also, there is cheese cake and chocolate, I just can’t get enough” This, after attending several social functions, has been so noted by her life member and long service support group.

Within the boundaries of our community, it is very gratifying indeed to meet a young person such as Electra Outram. With her incredible self- discipline, attitude to study and visions of a successful career in the world of corporate business, life for our young lady, is to say, the least promising and exciting. We wish her well.

Noosa boys at the Barnacles. Author with Doc Bexon, Ambrose McNeill and Sam the Man.

Figuera sunset.

Piano man plays at the Barnacles as the regular crowd shuffles in.

Travel dreams are free I don’t know about you, but when I paddled out for my first surf of the year early on New Year’s Day, and there were already a hundred or more eager beaver dawn patrollers on every take-off spot between Gum Trees and Johnno’s, as much as I love Noosa I had this almost unbearably strong desire to be somewhere else.

Whatever happened to the old rule about Christmas and New Year mornings being the reward for those of us whose inclination to party hard is not governed by the calendar?

Is everyone who surfs too old to rock and roll these days?

Actually, Christmas morning wasn’t so bad because the surf was on the beaches and all those groms with brand new sticks could spread out avoidably. New Year, with a bit of east swell and a sou’-easter howling around the corner, the points were the only place to be. It was intense, but I got a park with only a mildly abusive argument about it, and I got a few set waves because people I know took pity on me.

But I went home on the first day of the year, had a perfectly swell breakfast of eggs and left-over ham and smoked salmon - yes, all in together, who cares? It’s not like I’m that wanker restaurant critic they’ve hired here - but couldn’t settle to anything and couldn’t stop brooding. Then it dawned on me. For the first time since this whole Covid thing started, I’m jonesing for a plane-ride. Somewhere.

Anywhere.

I shouldn’t be - it’s only nine months since I got back from surfing perfect Raglan in New Zealand, but I can’t remember the last time I went a whole gestation period without taking a trip. I suppose I could go back to NZ, but half of my Kiwi mates are actually French, and they’re in lockdown for the foreseeable future.

I haven’t not been to Bali in any year this century except 2020, and although the Bukit is mostly beyond me these days, I saw enough video of lonely waves being ridden at my local spots, like the Rivermouth Lefts, to make me salivate. There haven’t been so many waves ridden in Bali by so few people since the ‘70s, and as long as you don’t mind sharing with Kelly Slater and Rizal Tandjung, you could have had a ball.

But when will we be able to go to Indo again?

Not this year, I’m sure. If there’s a bright spot, it’s simply that I know my Balinese friends are faring okay, living simply in their villages with 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 8 January, 2021

Our favourite surf photographer Fenna de King shot this interesting angle of crowded Main Beach on January 2. the banjar officials keeping tourist and expat super-spreaders out.

I’d had my eye on Mexico for a while because they seemed to be handling the pandemic better than expected, but last month all was revealed. Like Indonesia before them, they’d simply contained the numbers for public consumption by not testing adequately, and now they’re approaching 1.5 million cases with an eight percent death rate. Of course, the focus is on Mexico City, which is a long way from La Saladita, where old mate Corky Carroll has a room ready with a view up to the point, but we’re too old to be taking chances like that, even if we could travel for leisure, which we can’t yet.

So for now I’m stuck here at one of the world’s great longboard waves surfing the points with just a couple of million good mates. Suck it up,

old boy. Life could be a lot worse.

Doing the Barnacle Glide And then, just when I’m feeling sorry for my stay-at-home self, up on my social media feed pops a photographic memory of a fine old time from a couple of years back, when we were the Noosa team at the Gliding Barnacles Surf Festival in Figuera da Foz, Portugal, romping around on the beach at that fine old surf and sardines town I first became acquainted with half a century ago.

The water was cold, as it always is in Portugal, but the sun was hot and the beer was cold.

We surfed, we drank, we danced, we partied into the night. Now they’re back in lockdown too. It seems so long ago, but we’ll do it again one day. In the meantime, thanks for the memories, Sam Crookshank.

Fenna also captured the moment as this former world champion surfer who likes to keep a low profile these days finally makes it to open sand having survived the trek through the Main Beach refugee camp.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME ERLE LEVEY WELCOME to summer in Noosa, and what a summer it will be.

This quarter will prove to be an exciting one in Noosa real estate, even emulating the previous three months.

Richardson & Wrench Noosa co-principal Gillian MCauley reports: We will look back with envy in years to come, to see how Covid-19 helped us to achieve record-breaking prices and a massive spike in our market.

Noosa has seen a 14.4 percent rise in the median price in the 12 months to October 31 (RPData), but really it accelerated mostly in the previous quarter.

Buyers have been lured back into the market by the guarantee from the Reserve Bank of low interest rates for at least three years, government tax cuts, and the easing of Covid restrictions.

Since then, property market confidence has lifted. It is certainly not what we were Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

predicting back in March when our borders originally closed.

Back then there were only shop owners and a few locals walking Hastings street, wondering how this could be happening.

Looking out to Hastings street now, it is back to its bustling best, with more to come.

Record sales, an auction market like we have never seen before, and the strongest market we have ever seen here in Noosa.

Auctions are attracting the most interest, and at all levels.

We had a Hastings street La Mer penthouse sell at auction, with very competitive bidding for nearly $10million.

The two highest bidders were from Melbourne and purchased the property sight unseen.

This has been the case with most auction properties in the past few months.

We are being seen as a lifestyle hotspot.

We have always been a popular sea change destination, but even more so now that people have learned to work from home.

As we emerge from lockdowns, property wish-lists have changed, particularly for those able to work from home.

224849

Why has our market been resilient through recession?

Noosa is seen as a safe haven to live and holiday. With border closures our popularity has increased even further.

There is generally an inverse relationship with the cash rate and housing market performance, and that combined with home loan deferrals have also kept stock levels low during the height of uncertainty.

During lockdown in the southern states, we were receiving a large volume of calls and inquiries from buyers desperately wanting their own piece of Noosa.

Some were purchasing over the phone, others were educating themselves for when the borders reopened.

Well that time has come. The coming months should provide a plethora of buyers for Noosa property.

There is no doubt there are opportunities for buyers in this market, and when they look back in years to come, they will remember the unprecedented events of 2020 as a great buying opportunity for property.

PROPERTY MATTERS

best we have seen in 20 years and the team at Sunshine Beach Real Estate is looking forward to 2021.

Principal Pip Covell reports: What a year 2020 has been, challenging indeed for so many; but we have got through it amazingly well, and are thankful to our clients and friends for their support.

Our team really started to notice an increase in activity and positivity returning to the market from around May and the momentum has continued to snowball from there.

The Sunshine/Noosa market is absolutely going gangbusters, even more buoyant than 2007, and properties are moving quickly across all price ranges, and we have been setting street records throughout the year.

Most of the buyers have been either locally or Brisbane based, but with the borders now open we may experience an influx of buyers from Sydney and Melbourne …so watch this space.

As an increasing number of people are working from home, it is becoming more apparent to many that they no longer need to live close to their workplace to be connected and productive.

Technology has revolutionised offices in particular, and ‘lifestyle’ regions such as the Sunshine Coast are becoming more attractive as a result.

The rental market has been as tight as we have known it and we have a waiting list of pre-approved tenants waiting for a property to become available, and our holiday rentals are heavily booked across the summer period.

As for 2021, time will tell. But the health of the market this year in the face of an unprecedented challenge, demonstrates the resilience of our local property market, so we are feeling extremely positive moving into a new year.

NORTHERN BEACHES BUYER BEATS LOCKDOWN Talk about hot property, the new owner of the two Sunshine Beach duplex apartments 1 and 2/4 Douglas St is from the northern beaches of Sydney.

The property was taken to auction in the lead-up to Christmas and Gillian McCauley of Richardson & Wrench Noosa said both three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments on this unique site were sold together for a fantastic price.

“Our short, effective marketing campaign drew massive interest from all over Australia and abroad,’’ Gillian said, “in fact we had quite a bit of local interest.

“The new owner is actually from the northern beaches of Sydney and was lucky enough to view the property before the Covid lockdown came into effect.

“Both buyer and seller are very happy with the result, and we are excited to see the new owners plans prevail in the near future.’’

FIRST FOR THE YEAR It was the first Noosa auction for 2021 and all eyes were on whether the momentum from the past six months would continue.

Sharon McLure of Laguna Real Estate saw a good crowd attend the two-bedroom, two-bathroom free-standing villa at 2/34 James St, Noosaville, on Saturday.

Held in the driveway of the complex, close to Noosa River, auctioneer Justin Voss said the villa had a “real Noosa feel to it’’ with high ceilings and skylight.

Sharon had interest from Day One of the campaign, due to the location and the inside-outside living area.

“Opportunities in this price range not come along very often,’’ the auctioneer said. “This will represent a great investment in real estate in a great location.

“I’m declaring the bidding open. We have two or three buyers keen to see the property go to them today.’’

A start of $600,000 saw bidding in two to $660,000 where it sold to a local buyer downsizing and liking the single-level living.

POTENTIAL IN GRANT ST A two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse at Noosa Heads is attracting interest ahead of the auction scheduled for Friday, January 15.

Position and potential are two of the keys yet it also is in a small block of three.

Rick Daniel of Richardson & Wrench Noosa is taking 1/30 Grant St to the market at 2pm on the day.

ON THE COVER

PRIZED LOCATION, CONTEMPORARY CLASS, ALL WITH LAGUNA BAY VIEWS PERCHED in a prized location, The Lookout has a distinctive and appropriate name.

Easy to see why. A statement streetscape and entry way featuring lush tropical gardens with palms, cycads, bromeliads, fragrant frangipanis, and water features, fringe the walkway and form a backdrop for the glistening pool and terraces for sun worshippers.

Take the lift, step inside the classy penthouse with its oh-so high ceilings, restrained cool beach palette, and custom-built cabinetry in the massive light-drenched, open plan living and dining spaces.

Eyes are immediately drawn outside to the generous north-facing balcony which appears to extend almost seamlessly and incorporate spell-binding views over Laguna Bay, Hastings Street, numerous waterways and beyond to the Hinterland.

Alfresco dining is obviously a breeze, ditto sundowners, or even hosting a dinner party for eight, as the C-shaped kitchen with stone bench tops, premium appliances, and glass fronted doors on the upper cabinetry, has everything an

entertainer needs to create a dish.

Wake to a stunning sunrise from the king-size master suite with built-in robes and ensuite. Two additional bedrooms share a family-sized bathroom which includes laundry facilities. The toilet is separate.

The Lookout is just a 5-minute walk along a pathway adjacent to the resort, to the beach-side playground of Hastings Street and Laguna Bay. It abuts the worldfamous Noosa National Park with its internationally recognised World Surfing Reserve. Understandably, it is a rare occurrence when an apartment of this calibre comes on the market and this penthouse beauty, which has back-to-back, year-round bookings, is the ultimate holiday investment.

Monique was a dream to deal with. Selling a home can be an emotionally charged experience. Monique was not only a confidante, but incredibly professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable and made the entire process seamless.

noosatoday.com.au

In pursuit of our ideal home, our journey with Monique took place over many months, in what became a very challenging environment. During that time, Monique has shown us her strengths, patience, perseverance and the ability to match buyer and seller. This is evidence that real estate is not just a business but a life journey. Thank you Monique.

Selling our home has been - dare I say - easy.

This is largely due to Monique’s skills as an agent. She is a great communicator and negotiator. Her warm and friendly manner made the process surprisingly relaxed. We went to contract relatively quickly, well within the price range, Monique suggested, very happy. Right from the start, we felt comfortable.

BUYERS QUICK TO SNAP UP QUALITY LOCAL and interstate buyers have plunged into the remaining homes and apartments at Parkridge Noosa this summer as they look to secure their dream home in the award winning mixed use development.

Parkridge Noosa sales manager Jeremy Gilmore said just three of the nine architecturally designed two level designer homes remain on the market and he expects the remaining stock will be snapped up quickly.

“There’s nothing quite like these homes around Noosa or the Sunshine Coast particularly with their uninterrupted views set amongst the calm and tranquility of protected parklands. Each home includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms across a massive 300m2 with panoramic lake and hinterland views which will never be built out.

“We also have a number of two and three bedroom apartments starting from $825,000 through to $1.7 million which will be completed by October this year and there are also three completed 4 bedroom single floor apartments available and ready to view with prices from $2,550,000.

“While demand has been strong, there is still a great selection on offer and our display is open throughout the holidays, we encourage interested buyers to act quickly before prices continue to rise and the supply of quality brand new homes around Noosa becomes even more scarce,” Jeremy said.

Parkridge Noosa residents enjoy a range of outstanding amenity such as a boutique professional gymnasium and 25m lap pool, while the stunning Fish Parkridge restaurant and a local convenience store all spill out onto an expanse of lush grassy parkland.

HOME FOCUS

CENTRALLY LOCATED STUNNER TUCKED away in the quiet end of a centrally located Sunshine Beach street, this light-filled duplex is a credit to the current owners’ attention to detail and design, capturing the true essence of a modern-day residence by the sea, across three levels of casual sophistication.

The mid-level is all about lifestyle with alfresco living, kitchen and dining areas. Boasting timber floors throughout these spaces flow seamlessly onto a generous deck, where outdoor dining and entertaining can be enjoyed overlooking the tropical Sunshine Beach canopy.

The upper level is dedicated to the master bedroom complete with ensuite, ample robes and ducted air-conditioning.

This bedroom opens directly onto the sparkling private pool and deck area where one can relax with a quiet cocktail after a hard day on Sunshine Beach.

Two further bedrooms are located on the ground level one with direct courtyard access and both and are complimented by a well-appointed bathroom including bath and separate powder room.

The residence also offers a large storage area on this level just perfect for those bikes and surf skis.

In conjunction with the owner’s personal use the residence has a current history as a popular holiday home attracting healthy occupancy rates and returns.

Perfectly located within a few minutes walk of all Sunshine’s attractions - Noosa National Park, award winning restaurants, stunning patrolled beaches, brand new surf club, and village hub. ●
