Frothing for fest

By Phil Jarratt In spite of ongoing snap lockdowns as Covid rolls into its second year, the 30th annual Noosa Festival of Surfing, which starts next weekend, is anticipating one of its most successful events in several years.

After early fears that competitor numbers would be way down because of almost no overseas surfers attending, Australians have filled most divisions and almost 400 are expected to compete over the nine days of competition. Along with their families and other spectators, festival tourists will fill the town for more than a week of “pure stoke” in and out of the water.

Having been brought forward to February last year to fit in with the World Surf League calendar, the 2020 festival narrowly missed the introduction of Covid restrictions, but according to event organizer Josh Allen, when sponsor and underwriter World Surfaris had to make a decision on the 2021 event back in November, the future still looked very uncertain.

“We knew that there’d be no internationals,” said Josh, “and that might hurt our numbers overall. But a 30th birthday is pretty special for an event that has grown from a couple of tents on the beach to the world’s biggest surf festival, so we just decided to push ahead and hope for the best.”

The uptake across 11 age divisions, six open divisions, plus teams and family challenges, the return of stand up paddling and the popular surfing dogs shows that the courageous decision has paid off. And with Noosa hospitality businesses, like Heads of Noosa, getting right behind the event and playing host after the Solbar on the beach finishes its sunset trading, it’s going to be one big surf celebration.

Along with seven-times world champion Layne Beachley, a longtime festival supporter, and other celebrities, veteran longboard champion Ray Gleave, who won the first Noosa Malibu Classic 30 years ago, will return to defend his title at age 62.

The 30 year history of the Noosa Festival of Surfing will be included in a new version of Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s documentary Cuppa Tea With God which will be seen dur-

Legends at the first “festival” in 1998. ing action/adventure sports TV platform Fuel TV’s streaming of the festival and over the next year. Directed by Shaun Cairns and produced

by Tewantin’s Panga Productions, Cuppa Tea Redux showcases Noosa’s surfing culture and explains how it came to host the world’s big-

gest event and become the 10th World Surfing Reserve.

Said Fuel managing director Jay Palmer: “The stunning world class location is sure to deliver an amazing background the equal of the incredible talent in the water. To be the

broadcast partner on such a historic event is a privilege, and everyone at FUEL TV global is excited.”

Sum Yung Guys move to their new premises.

Sum Yung Guys moves

By Abbey Cannan A highly popular Noosa restaurant received over 4000 bookings on the first day of opening their phone lines at their new location.

The Sunshine Beach favourite Sum Yung Guys has relocated to 1/205 Weyba Road Noosaville, with a new menu, bigger bar and custom-built booths.

Co-owner and chef Matt Sinclair said the support from the community had been incredible.

“We opened the phone lines yesterday and they crashed. Between phones, emails and online reservations we did nearly 4000 people,” he said.

“It’s nice to see everyone really behind what we’re doing and excited. That’s one of the beautiful things that comes from having a small business in a small town.”

He said their goal when they first launched was to buy their own establishment.

“Where we were in Sunshine Beach, our lease was coming to an end and this place came up for sale. The stars aligned a little bit and we were in a position to take it on,“ he said.

“It happened a lot quicker than what we thought in terms of owning our own premises, we thought we would do another four or eight years at Sunshine. But when this came up, we just had to take it.”

Matt said the new restaurant’s fit out was a more polished look with the same energy and personality.

“The key thing for us is we wanted people to be able to walk in the door and know that it was still us. The colour, textures and layout has to be loud and clear that it is still us and I think we’ve done a really good job at achieving that,” he said.

“It’s bigger but the goal wasn’t to cram in more seating, it was more to be a bit more generous with it. We’ve got some beautiful booths that have been custom built.

“We’ve allowed ourselves space for a nice lounge bar area and the size of the bar itself is enormous and the deck area out the front.”

The MasterChef favourite said they had been working hard on their new menu over the past six to 12 months.

“We’ll keep a fair portion of the rock solid dishes on the menu. I think it’s sort of been spoken for by the public that they have to stay.

But we’re probably going to have about eight to 10 new dishes,” he said.

“The menu is probably going to be 25 to 30 per cent bigger.”

He said they were looking forward to opening.

“I think we’re all over the painting, cleaning and landscaping. We want to get back to doing what we do best. Everyone is itching to get in.”

In good news for Noosa COVID19 which was last week detected in our wastewater was not detected this week, so we can all breath a little easier knowing we are again pandemic free, and just in time for the 30th Festival of Surfing to go ahead next week.

An issue that is raising concerns in the business community is the shortage of workers across the shire, particularly in the hospitality and tourism areas where international backpackers generally dominate the workforce.

It was raised at the Tourism and Events Queensland conference held in Noosa last week as an issue impacting tourism statewide.

The problem is not exclusive to Noosa or to tourist industries. Farmers are also struggling to harvest their crops without the backpacker workforce they depend on.

An ABC story last week reported on grey nomads taking on jobs across the outback that had previously become the domain of backpackers. Why not? They bring their accommodation with them and many are more than capable of taking on these roles. They’ve been serving coffee or waiting tables and there’s a growing army of nomads and unemployed city dwellers taking on fruit and veggie picking.

Noosa has its fair share of seniors.

Our community groups wouldn’t exist without their voluntary work. Maybe there’s no better time to take on a senior.

If you are looking for a way to volunteer, give back to the community, but also learn some new skills and be involved in saving lives, literally, there’s no better time to join Surf Life Saving. Peregian Beach surf club aims to be- c o m e an independent club over the next year and needs lifesaving volunteers to make that happen.

Residents gather to protest the clearing of glossy black cockatoo habitat for development.

Growing protest ignored

By Margaret Maccoll Having amassed an incredible 39,000 signatures on a petition to save Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat at Sunrise Beach from development Glossy Team Sunrise last Sunday launched their inaugural art protest and walk in their “Save our Glossies Forest”campaign.

Led by 10-year-old Spencer Hitchen and his mother Maxine the protest has been supported by Birdlife Australia, Birdlife Queensland, Noosa Biosphere Foundation and Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA).

These groups and many individuals have written letters to the Uniting Church to voice their protest at the proposed clearing of five hectares of habitat to make way for their 102bed residential aged care home.

In addition Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said that Council would be willing to meet with the Church to discuss options, but that the initial approach would have to come from their side since all Council approvals had been granted.

Co-producer of publishing platform Open Noosa Desiree Gralton said the group understood that approvals were made based on a historical decision to allocate that land to community use, and that the initial approval was granted by the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Council more than ten years ago.

“From discussion with the Mayor and a number of Councillors, there is a general consensus that the development would not be approved if it came in front of Council today,” Desiree said. “The long time that had lapsed from the initial approval means that many people in our community weren’t even aware of the development and always believed that

the land formed part of the Noosa National Park. This leaves Council in a difficult position because approvals have been granted, but they now realise the distress of the local community in our efforts to save this iconic species.”

Maxine said the Glossies relied on the mature favoured feed trees on the site throughout the year along with other areas that form their home range.

“This time of year we see the flocks arrive from different areas to this highly significant feeding ground,” she said.

“We have had 12-24 Glossies feeding in the trees in the last three weeks. It is the only known site on the mainland that we are aware of that the Glossies flock like this to feed, drink, roost and mate. We believe the loss of this Forest will lead to the Extinction of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo in our area and surrounding areas. Since this development was approved in 2011 the Glossies habitat has become more and more fragmented with development.”

In November 2020 the Noosa Biosphere Foundation held a Glossy Black-Cockatoo forum attended by Noosa Council, conservation groups and leading Glossy Black-Cockatoo researchers attended which concluded habitat protection was the best way to ensure the survival of the Glossies into the future.

Maxine said she was deeply saddened by the response she had received from the Uniting Church.

She said they had failed to acknowledge their petition of 39,000 signatures, were yet to respond to questions asked at a webinar on the project held last December by Lendlease

which is overseeing the project and had asked her to stop contacting the Uniting Church of Australia Queensland Synod.

“We have treated you with great respect as has our community. We are asking you on behalf of all of our community and the almost 39,000 people who have signed Spencer’s petition, to please hear our voice,” she said of the Uniting Church.

“We need the Uniting Church Australia, Queensland Synod decision makers on Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach, Queensland to come to our Noosa Council and discuss other options for this development. We are not saying don’t build this we are just saying don’t build it on this crucial habitat the Glossy Black-Cockatoos rely on for survival, along with many other species of flora and fauna.”

Maxine said she’d like to remind the church of its own environmental statements and resolutions set out by the UCA Assembly, in particular, from Point 6 of its Rights of Nature 1991, Sixth Assembly, Uniting Church in Australia. The Assembly resolved: 91.14.18: ‘6.

Rare ecosystems, and above all those with an abundance of species, are to be placed under absolute protection. The driving of species to extinction is forbidden’, she said.

The Uniting Church did not answer questions Noosa Today asked about its acknowledgement of the petition and concerns voiced by residents or whether it would meet with Mayor Clare Stewart to discuss other options for the development. The Church did not answer when asked by Noosa Today if it was proceeding with the development against its own environmental guidelines, nor did it respond when asked if local parishioners had voiced

concerns about the protests against the development.

In a statement Blue Care director of corporate affairs Matthew Cuming said:“As a notfor-profit and mission-led aged care provider, Blue Care has been implementing innovative resident-centric changes across its aged care homes since 2018, consistent with its bestin-class ‘Tailor Made’ care model philosophy.

These changes to the way Blue Care designs and operates its aged care homes commenced prior to the Royal Commission into Aged Care, demonstrative of the importance Blue Care places on the needs, wants and preferences of the people and communities it serves.

Blue Care has been greatly encouraged by the overwhelming support of the greater Noosa community and their encouragement for the development of this much needed community service at Sunrise Beach to proceed as soon as possible, and we’re excited to deliver this new 102 bed Residential Aged Care Home as Stage 1 of the Sunrise Beach Integrated Development.

The built-environment of Blue Care Sunrise Beach will deliver all of the benefits of Blue Care’s ‘Tailor Made’ care model for prospective residents, and will be the first purpose-built aged care home in Australia for this model of care that includes COVID-19 safe elements.

The Blue Care project team has worked alongside expert ecologists and Noosa Shire Council to agree an Ecological Management Plan (EMP) which will protect and enhance the local natural environment for generations to come.“

We need your help: SLSC

By Margaret Maccoll It’s a big task but Surf Life Saving is calling on the Peregian community to step up and provide the lifesavers needed to make Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club an independent entity.

Surf Life Saving Queensland Sunshine Coast president Gerard O’Brien said the biggest issue for the club was getting the patrolling numbers with 12 patrols comprised of about 60-70 lifesavers required long term to provide life saving services to the community.

“There has to be people who can do this,“ he said.

The second part of the challenge is for the club to become financially sustainable.

“Financially we have a plan we’re going to put to Council to expand what we’re already doing,“ Gerard said.

The options include growing the Peregian Markets revenue, introducing a new commercial kiosk into the building and commercial options for the top floor of the club.

Gerard said opening a bar and restaurant in the surf club was a project for the future with a determination on the useful life of the clubhouse needing to be made.

Clubs needed to provide the facilities to attract people to them, he said.

For the past seven years Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club has carried the Peregian Beach club both financially and with patrols since the club collapsed.

NHSLSC president Ross Fisher said Noosa

Heads had invested heavily in Peregian Beach, funding lifeguards, maintaining and upgrading the clubhouse and providing lifesaving patrols.

He said for the future the key to the club’s success was its sustainability.

“The community has to recognise what a lifesaving club can do for them,“ he said.

“It’s people that make it. The club is made up of people,“ he said.

Peregian Surf Life Saving Club has the support of Surf Lifesaving Sunshine Coast (SLSSC), Surf Lifesaving Queensland (SLSQ), Noosa Council (Council) and the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club (NHSLSC) to establish two new Peregian Beach-based legal entities prior to the start of the 2021/22 surf lifesaving season in September.

These entities will be Peregian Beach SLSC (a charity that will eventually oversee all lifesaving activities, including volunteer patrols, Nippers and training) and the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Supporters Club (a commercial entity specifically established to raise funds to support the PBSLSC).

The Peregian Beach Working Group, led by Leigh McCready, is actively seeking further volunteers to join the fledgling Club and undertake a Bronze Medallion over the coming months.

NHSLSC will continue to support and underpin surf lifesaving services at Peregian Beach for 2021/22 (as the signatory of the Patrol Services Agreement (PSA) between Noosa Council, SLSSC and SLSQ).

Club president Ross Fisher and the club’s Board have reaffirmed their commitment to staying the course over the next season as Peregian Beach SLSC emerges as a viable and vibrant SLSC in 2022/23.

Gerard said for the year life savers would have dual membership with Noosa and Peregian surf clubs.

During this one-year crossover it is essential for PBSLSC to build its patrol capability, ready to take on the responsibility for the PSA independently from 2022/23.

In addition, there is a direct financial benefit associated with an increase in patrol capability. Currently, NHSLSC (and therefore the new PBSLSC when formed) directly funds the provision of professional Lifeguard services on Sundays and Public Holidays at Peregian Beach as the current Peregian membership base is unable to conduct full weekend patrols. As patrol numbers and capability increase, Lifeguard patrols can be reduced and the financial burden progressively lifted from the new Club.

Much of the clubs recruitment is fuelled by nippers and their families.

Recent Bronze medallion holder and patrolling member Nathalia said it was her daughter’s entry into nippers and her request for her mother to join that led her to lifesaving.

She said it had been hard work but also a lot of fun and she enjoyed giving back to the community.

For the past five years Lyndon Forlonge has been in charge of the growing Nippers pro-

gram at Peregian Beach. Having just finished a very successful season in reduced numbers to 168 due to COVID19 the club aims to build numbers back to a consistent and manageable 200 next season.

Lyndon said the Nipper program played an important role in promoting surf safety amongst our children as well as training “lifesavers of the future,” and was regarded to be the greatest recruitment pool for our “lifesavers of the present.”While Nippers and new lifesavers join the club Lyndon hopes previous lifesavers return to Peregian to provide the experience needed for patrols.

He said while the physical requirements of lifesaving weren’t for everyone there were plenty of other roles in the surf club such as manning the radio or first aid training that people could be involved in.

PBSLSC is calling on the community to put their hand up and get behind the club.

An event will be held at the Peregian Beach clubhouse on Saturday 15 May from 4-6pm for residents to enjoy a sunset drink and find out more about the club’s progress to independence from branch president Gerard O’Brien and register their interest. Community members can be involved through a range of roles from becoming a volunteer surf lifesaver, radio operator, helping with the Nipper program or supporting social and fundraising events.For more information visit the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club Facebook page or email hello@peregiansurfclub.com.

STA deadline extended

By Margaret Maccoll As the consultation period on Noosa Council’s short term accommodation draft local law nears its end residents are voicing their concerns about the proposed law, the place of STAs in Noosa and the consultation process.

Noosa Shire Residents and Ratepayers Association (NSRRA) called for an extension on public consultation on Council’s short term accommodation draft local law citing a lack of community awareness, a fault in the submission process and a consultation process biased towards STA stakeholders as reasons for the request.

And they got their wish, Noosa Council has extended consultation on the STA draft local law for two weeks. Mayor Clare Stewart said it was important all residents had adequate time to put forward their views.

“We are trying to find a balance for all concerned because short-stay letting is important to our shire, but the impacts on residential amenity and anti-social behaviours continue to be an issue for some in our community”Mayor Clare Stewart said.

“This local law creates new minimum standards of behaviour and requirements for everyone and is aimed to protect our neighbourhoods from some of the anti-social behaviours caused by short stay properties” Cr Stewart said.

The Mayor said the introduction of the proposed local law would answer hundreds of submissions Council previously received about short-stay letting as part of the Noosa Plan consultation and consultation on the first draft of the local law back in 2019.

Meanwhile a lobby group set up to oppose STA, Noosa Residents Against Unregulated Short Term Accommodation, is calling for STAs to be managed and regulated to fit into the current accommodation mix and be subject to the same development applications, fees and charges as traditional accommodation places such as resorts, hotels and hostels.

And Councillor Tom Wegener has been outspoken in council and on social media saying the Noosa Plan could not support both STA and residential amenity.

“The two are mutually exclusive,” he said.

“The plan supports predominantly residential neighbourhoods in medium density zones. When I visit these neighbourhoods I see they are at a tipping point where they are no longer predominantly home to permanent residents. They are losing the amenity of a residential neighbourhood and there is no more room for short term accommodation - especially outside of resorts and holiday units.”

NSRRA president Adrian Williams said public consultation on the local law had been compromised because Council initially released an incorrect email address for public submissions and contacted STA operators to prompt industry responses.

NSRRA is also questioning a complaints system in the law that requires residents impacted by STAs to raise concerns directly with the owners or managers.

“Council’s decision to abrogate their re-

Noosaville has become a popular STA area. sponsibility to manage complaints seems bizarre considering every other planning conflict they deal with protects the identity of the complainant, therefore enabling residents and the broader community to raise concerns without fear of reprisal,” Mr Williams said.

NSRRA have received a number of reports describing unsavoury incidents between residents and STA operations with one case resulting in violence which required police involvement, he said.

The NSRRA believes the community deserves more time “to digest such a complex and divisive issue”.

Residents Against Unregulated Short Term Accommodation spokesman Warick Redwood agrees it makes sense to remove the neighbour-agent contact which has become a conflict point, and suggests Council has a manned 24/7 hotline for reporting of compliance issues and he has called for a level playing field for like businesses.

“If council is approving these properties as businesses in residential areas they must accept the same responsibilities of regulation and compliance. Traditional accommodation, resorts, hotels, apartments, hostels, motels aren’t at capacity year round either so to make an even and fair playing field for these new STA accommodation businesses they must be subject to the same protocols, development

Picture: ROB MACCOLL applications, fees and charges that every other business has paid,” he said.

The group has also raised concerns about the impact of STAs on residential amenity.

“The super-spreading of the STA trend of using normal sized family homes as mini resorts is fantastic for wealth creation and investors who can afford a second, third or fourth property, but it does little to provide a community feel where people get to know their neighbours and actively participate in the community,” Mr Redwood said.

“For the wider community we must think about preserving the lifestyle and amenity we all enjoy and live here for. Over-tourism is becoming a thing. Byron Bay, Mornington Peninsular, plenty of Australian beachside resort towns are experiencing the same issues.

“The Tourism and Events Queensland conference this week at Peppers Resort had their strategic planners even speak exactly on this topic stating ‘that an abundance of accommodation, creating a lack of affordable rental options for the resort services and hospitality workforce will see the very things people visit to enjoy in a destination, become its demise’.”

Cr Wegener questioned the consistency of STA approval in medium density residential areas in the Noosa Plan with council plans to address the rental crisis.

“We have heard over and over that there are quality job opportunities here which are vacant because applicants cannot find accommodation. Yet, we support the transformation of housing to STS businesses. This is wildly inconsistent,” he said.

In October 2019, to manage the ongoing effects of both existing and future short term accommodation Council publicly notified a draft local law for short stay letting.

The draft local law was put on hold following public notification, pending the outcome of a state wide approach to managing short stay letting by the Queensland Government.

With the advent of Covid19, the matter was deferred.

As part of Council’s adoption of Noosa Plan 2020, Council resolved to complete and introduce the local law for short term accommodation.

A revised draft local law has now been prepared proposing a number of changes, having considered public submissions, legal advice, stakeholder engagement and internal staff review.

Residents have until Friday 28 May to have their say on new short-term accommodation local laws through Council’s website at www. yoursaynoosa.qld.gov.au or by emailing submissions to shortstaylocallaw@noosa.qld. gov.au

Surfboards with history

By Phil Jarratt

Keith Grisman at the museum with prized Hayden 1964 log.

Picture: PJ

For Keith Grisman, the man behind Noosa’s first surfing museum, the light bulb moment came when he visited the home of a wellknown surfboard collector.

“He took me down to a climate-controlled room under the house where the most collectible surfboards you’d ever wish to see were locked away inside board bags where no one ever saw them,” Keith told Noosa Today. “So as wonderful as it was to see them, I left feeling a bit hollow. I decided then and there to put mine on display. Of course, no museums make money, least of all surf museums, but maybe a combination of the uses of the space can make this one work.”

A cursory glance at Keith Grisman’s business history suggests that if anyone can make it work, he can. The entrepreneur and investor put together an amazing portfolio in his early days, only to lose it during the Global Financial Crisis, then bounce back with new vitality. He says surfing got him through his dark times, but to keep his mind off the plunging markets, he also started a surfboard collection. (“I could just about afford the $25 garage sale boards”, he says.)

In just over a decade that collection has grown to more than 800 historic surfboards housed in museums at Mooloolaba, Caloundra and Nambour, and now in his most ambitious museum project yet, at the former convention centre at Noosa Lakes Resort.

A man with an analytical mind but a practical way of getting things done, Keith is “soft opening” the Noosa Surf Museum in time for next week’s surf festival, in line with his website

theory. “If you set out to design the perfect website, you’ll never finish it,” he says. “It’s better to just open it and work things out organically. Or, as Walt Disney used to say of his theme parks, you open them and keep ‘plus-ing’ them.”

The pluses at the surf museum, which are still to be formalised with Council, are planned to include re-opening the restaurant and bar downstairs with an up-dated ‘Noosa-cool’ offering, adding a coffee shop and Surf Museum shop at the entry, while continuing to offer conference, function and meeting rooms upstairs with a small number of offices around the edges of the vast museum space. Keith says he wants it to become a community space, and to that end the Noosa World Surfing Reserve will have a permanent meeting venue as of this week.

Although he’d been a keen surfer all his life, Keith says he found that he knew very little about surfboard design until he started his collection with a prized “Lazer Zap”, the design popularised by Australian champion Cheyne Horan 40 years ago. “Perhaps because of the way I started, I thought it would be all about the stars who rode the boards and the star shapers, but in fact that’s probably the bit that interests me the least. It’s all about the board, its shape and the people who came up with the design ideas behind it, and often they’re people who have been overlooked, so it’s fascinating to do the research.”

The nearly 300 surfboards that will call Noosa home (the full 800 will rotate around the three museums) include staples such as the solid wood and veneer-panelled boards of more than a century ago, but also many lesser known examples of Sunshine Coast surfboard history. Noosa Today asked Keith to pull out a few examples and tell us their stories.

BOB MCTAVISH HAYDEN LOG If there’s a more iconic Noosa board design than this, I’ve yet to see it. I got it from a lady who said her dad had passed away and had left some old boards. This was one of them. It was covered in baby blue and white gel coat.

(Surfboard restorer) Tony Dragan sanded it off and found that under the cover coat, the board was in amazing condition. The original pin lines were still intact, and we found McTavish’s signature two-dot numbering which dates it to 1964. Looking at the D fin off the tail, I’d say that date would be right, and make it from McTavish’s very early days at the Hayden factory at Alexandra Headland. It’s got pretty refined

rails for the time.

MIKE DAVIS TWO PLUS ONE CHANNEL BOTTOM This would be a good decade before Mike made the move from Kiama to Noosa, so early ‘80s. When you look at the plan shape it’s for a single fin, and it looks a lot like the Simon Anderson Energy single fins immediately before the development of the thruster. I really like the double flyers on this one. There’s a lot going on here, other than a cool spray. Like the advanced channels and a no-nose. And I like the way Mike writes the dimensions on the stringer in perfect tech drawing script.

BILL WALLACE STRINGERLESS Bill Wallace. This is an original coloured shortboard from the early years of the shortboard revolution, so probably around 1970. It’s possibly one of his five foot three Junior Models, which were among the last boards Bill produced at Brookvale before moving his factory to Hastings Street, Noosa in 1973. They were called “popouts” and sold for only $50, but in fact they were hand-shaped and looked a bit like what the Aussies were riding at the 1970 world titles.

shape like a single fin. Les is a bit of an unknown of Sunnie Coast surfboard history, probably because he was overshadowed by the cool factor. He started shaping for Woolsley in Brisbane in the late 1960s, then went south to Atlas Surfboards in Melbourne and John Arnold in Adelaide. When he returned to Queensland he shaped with Greg Clough in Caloundra before going out on his own at Alex in 1973.

STU CAMPBELL WATER PISTOL The Water Pistol came from South Australia, from a guy who lived here until about 30 years ago and took it with him but never used it, so it hasn’t seen water for a long time. We get a lot of boards like that actually, that don’t get used for decades and get pulled out from under tarps in backyard sheds. Stu moved here from Hot Buttered in Sydney in 1983 so this might have been one of his first Water Pistols. The plan shape is more the proper thruster, but it’s a textured deck, swallow tail twinnie.

Another chapter for reef

By Erle Levey One of Noosa’s most iconic landmarks has sold for $13.9 million to a Queensland private investor.

Just about everyone who knows Noosa has a story to tell about the Reef Hotel.

With a gateway view to Noosa Heads from its position at 19 Noosa Drive, it was synonymous with property and business deals written on the back of beer coasters in the ’70s and ’80s.

It has been where sports people gathered, where people enjoyed the view along with brunch from the deck of a Sunday, and made much of the Sunday Sess.

Now it has been sold at public auction by JLL’s joint heads of retail investments - Australia, Jacob Swan and Sam Hatcher.

Noosa’s landmark Reef Hotel site has sold at auction for $13.9 million. 236041 Mr Swan said the landmark was a rare offering to the market.

“The Noosa Reef Hotel sits on an expansive 5069sq m site at the top of the famous Noosa Hill, providing stunningly expansive views out

over Noosa Main Beach and the North Shore.”

He said the hotel was bound by a longterm, net lease to Endeavour Group, which was a subsidiary of Woolworths Group, with initial expiry in 2029.

It comes with four by 10-year options, which provides the buyer with strong income certainty and annual fixed growth.

The property is currently returning a net income of approximately $692,515.

It is spread over an expansive two levels with restaurant, main bar, sports bar, gaming room and a strong trading BWS drive-through.

“Given the strength of the tenant covenant and the hotel’s blue-ribbon location, we received very strong investor response towards the property,” Mr Swan said.

“Investor sentiment for long-lease assets

has never been stronger, fuelled by a positive interest rate environment and demand for essential service operations.

Mr Hatcher said the Noosa local economy had been one of the strongest in the country over the past 12 months, with record domestic tourism from both local within Queensland, and from the southern states.

Brisbane property and retail entrepreneur Greg Josephson is believed to be the buyer.

Mr Josephson with his brother Michael founded Universal Store at Carindale in 1999, which they built up to an Australian-wide network of 53 stores.

The auction on Tuesday, April 27, produced 10 registered bidders and the campaign generated more than 200 inquiries from throughout Australia and overseas.

Hat-trick of medical sales Three modern medical centres have been sold by a single local vendor in the Noosa Hinterland for a combined total value of $4.28 million with yields ranging between 5.5 and 7.2 per cent across the three sites.

Cooroy’s 8 Emerald Street sold for $1.88 million, 6 Imbil Island Road in Imbil sold for $1.2 million, and Pomona’s 5 Factory Street also sold for $1.2 million.

All three leased properties were sold by Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North Property Consultant Tracey Ryan.

“A high level of national enquiry was generated on the properties; however, all three properties were ultimately purchased by savvy local buyers recognizing the growing demand for medical services on the Sunshine Coast,” Ms Ryan said.

“The centres were a mix of free-standing

custom-fit and custom-built buildings originally used for the vendor’s medical group.

“All three were set up to specifically address requirements of the local areas and demographic, including small operating theatres and high-capacity generators in place to ensure a constant power supply.“ The current tenants are part of the Doctorlink Medical Centres Group with practices all over Queensland. Pomona sold on a 6.3 per cent yield, Cooroy on 5.4 per cent, and Imbil on a 7.2 per cent yield.

“These yields are reflective of demand for investment stock and a willingness to back growth on the Sunshine Coast currently being generated by a combination of infrastructure projects and an influx of capital city and international buyers moving to the coast,“ she said.

Cooroy’s 8 Emerald Street recently sold for $1.88 million.

Beach hoons on notice Police have stepped up their efforts to crack down on beach hooning between Noosa North Shore and Cooloola.

The crack down comes as part of an ongoing operation focused on ensuring the safety of visitors and preserving the local environment.

In July 2020 Operation Sandstorm began, involving targeted beachside patrols of the popular tourist spots and increased enforcement activity.

With local tourism gradually returning to full capacity in late 2020 after the easing COVID restrictions, officers engaged in extra covert response tactics such as the deployment of drones to monitor driver behaviour.

Sunshine Coast Superintendent Craig Hawkins said people were still testing the limits of their vehicles on the beach despite one death at Teewah in the past year and a number of serious injury crashes.

“In the past two weeks alone we’ve seen a young man taken to hospital after falling from the tray of a ute performing burnouts at Noosa North Shore in an area frequented by young families,” Superintendent Hawkins said.

“Then on the ANZAC Day long weekend police attended a serious single vehicle rollover where a man was thrown from a ute due to not wearing a seatbelt,” he said.

“Heading into this Labour Day long weekend we will continue to be out in force in line with Operation Sandstorm.

“Close to 500 Traffic Infringement Notices have been issued in the past two years in the area with at least three vehicles impounded,” he said.

“Drone surveillance has revealed drivers are continuing to engage in risky behaviour and police remain committed to following up any reports of dangerous activity which may put other motorists and innocent campers at risk of injury.”

Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service State Compliance Manager Michael Devery said the

“Our rangers issue fines for non-compliance, failure to have necessary permits and for environmentally and socially inappropriate behaviour,” Mr Devery said.

“In addition to QPS officers, QPWS rangers can enforce a range of driving related offences including without due care and attention, unlicensed driving, and failing to wear a seat belt.

“We want to ensure the safety of all visitors to the Noosa North Shore and Cooloola area

Enjoy your very own golf car

and will continue to work closely with the QPS to uphold safe driving practices.”

Since Easter 2019, Police have conducted 5359 Roadside Breath Tests (RBTs), with 16 people charged with drink driving.

There have been 486 Traffic Infringement Notices (TINs) issued, as well as 139 Roadside Drug Tests (RDTs) conducted with 16 people detected drug driving.

With assistance from the National Parks Wildlife Rangers, 11 campers have been evicted.

Three hoon offences have resulted in vehicle impounds and 11 defective vehicle repair notices have been handed out.

Anti-hooning laws have been strengthened in Queensland to hold the registered owner of a vehicle responsible for any hooning activity carried out in that car.

The new legislation will make it easier for police to take enforcement action against mass gatherings of hoons.

Extension for the CHAP deadline Noosa Council has negotiated an extension of time to finalise its Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan (CHAP) until November this year.

CEO Brett de Chastel said the extension would allow more time to consult with the community on concerns they have raised with the CHAP. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart is pleased to have secured the additional time.

“We were given until late May, but the November date now allows us to continue to further consult the community to explore work-

able solutions,” she said.

“It’s important to clarify that this plan will act as a guide to Council’s response to coastal erosion risks in the shire.

“The CHAP will not specify how individual properties can and can’t be developed.”

Mr de Chastel said that was a matter for the Planning Scheme.

“If Council wants to amend the Planning Scheme, that would require a separate consultation process and any changes would be

subject to ministerial approval,” he said.

Noosa Council is one of 32 Councils that are developing a coastal hazards adaptation plan as part of the state’s QCoast2100 program.

The six-week public consultation period, which finished in early March, resulted in over 200 submissions.

“We must use this extension to carefully review and give consideration to all the issues raised by stakeholders,” Cr Stewart said.

CEO Brett de Chastel believes the extension would allow more time to consult with the community.

During these five days in Canberra, the young leaders applied the knowledge and skills they had gained during the online component and were able to discuss and debate in person.

They also participated in a final competition, which had everyone thinking critically and creatively about the current and future scene in the Indo-Pacific Region and the USAustralia Alliance.

This program initially was supposed to run on USC’s grounds in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, however, due to the pandemic it was completed online.

More than 45 participants from varying un-

dergraduate and postgraduate degrees from around Australia had the opportunity to connect weekly through Zoom and receive important information relating to the US-Australia Alliance and our shared vision and values.

This empowered participants to understand Australia’s commitment to democratic principles and the strengthening of our ongoing U.S.-Australian collaboration on joint policy initiatives in the Indo-Pacific.

The importance of this program for the United States and Australia lies in the increased understanding of; young generational perspectives of Australia, pertinent issues to young Australians, and young Australian views on the nations’ future relationship that the program has afforded.

Noosa community members are invited to come along this evening to CWA Hall at Tewantin to learn more about their local Country Women’s Association (CWA) Branch. The Queensland CWA was established in 1922 to assist the women of Queensland to come together to support communities, while celebrating their interests and forging friendships in a respectful and caring environment.

Throughout the decades, women across Queensland’s rural, regional and remote towns as well as cities have banded together to share ideas, skills, knowledge and friendship.

Long term members and advocate Sandy Bolton MP and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart will attend the function and speak to attendees about their personal experience and knowledge of the role the CWA plays in our local communities. Community members interested in joining the Branch will also hear about the projects the Tewantin-Noosa Branch is involved in, from their participation in the Country Kitchens program to educate and promote healthy, nonprocessed and simple meal choices with a focus on local produce, their featured international country of study Malaysia, to the fundraising for local charities OzHarvest, Campsite Rescue, Share the Dignity and the Noosa Come Together festival.

Drinks and snacks will be available for the event at CWA Hall, Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin at 5.30pm on Friday 7 May with registration required at: https://events.humanitix.com/meetthe-noosa-cwa

A University centre based in Noosa has again played a key role in managing the annual US Embassy Student Leadership Program.

The US Embassy Student Leadership Program ’Looking to 2040 - Developing NextGeneration Leaders and Policy Thinkers of the U.S.- Australia Partnership in the Indo-Pacific Region’, recently culminated in a Capstone event in Canberra.

The Program was funded by the US Embassy, managed by the Centre for International Development, Social Entrepreneurship and Leadership (CIDSEL) of the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), and comprised twentyfive Australian university students from across the country, including USC representatives.

With the combination of mentors, motivational speakers, and targeted sessions, students have developed leadership and diplomatic skills and more greatly understand the importance of the Australian and American alliance role in regional and global governance.

US consulate general Sydney, Head of Public Affairs, Donald Maynard said this alliance was more important than ever.

“Australia and the US will need to work together to grow our economies out of this pandemic and help our Indo-Pacific neighbours to do the same,“ he said.

Participants had the opportunity to meet in-person, network with key experts in the Alliance and the Indo-Pacific Region, participate in discussion panels and workshops, attend site visits around the Australian Capital Territory, and receive information on several graduate opportunities at Fulbright and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

One of the highlights of the program was to attend a roundtable and cocktail at the US Ambassador’s Residence in the US Embassy, where the participants had the unique chance to mingle with delegates of the US Mission in Australia, converse about important matters related to the Alliance and enjoy a great time

The journey represents the pathway of learning and personal growth.

A precious momento for Zanzi Andrews.

A special location where the river meets the sea.

Emotional growth journey For some students ‘growing up’ cannot come soon enough, but a very touching ceremony under gloomy skies at the Noosa River mouth stopped the clock, if just for a moment, and allowed for deep reflection for both student and parent.

The Year 9 students at Good Shepherd begin the Rite Journey program as part of their Christian Studies program over Years 9 and 10.

It is a program honouring the transition from young person to young adult and is a collective partnership between student, parent, teacher/mentor and broader College community.

The official launch of the program is the

“Calling and Departure” ceremony, with close to 115 Year 9 students and their families attending. The ‘Calling’ encourages students to show gratitude for their childhood and calls them on their journey to young adulthood.

The second component to the ceremony is the ‘Departure’, which involves parents, carers and teachers/mentors joining the students for an opportunity to learn, reflect and look forward.

Program coordinator Nicole Drew explains “Students and parents were able to connect through reflection of memories of significant events or items from the child’s formative years. Then, together as a family, the notion of transitioning from child to young adult and

what this process would challenge students to let go of or change was discussed over breakfast.’

The journey represents the pathway of learning and personal growth.

A precious memento for Zanzi Andrews’ one of her letters to the fairies.

“After days of rain and watching the weather forecast there were clear skies just long enough for us to hold our ceremony at the Noosa River Mouth. Our Year 9s and their families gathered on the beach, not only because this is a local landmark but because it is where the river meets the sea and becomes something bigger, something stronger, something broader. This

analogy was the focus of our ceremony and used intentionally to map the rite of passage of our Year 9 students.”

Good Shepherd Principal Anthony Dyer left his Principal hat at work and attended as a parent, to commence the journey with his own son. “It was a special moment for our family.

The process helps you reflect on the past and the future and how you can assist your child to transition into young adulthood.”

Mr Dyer also said “The proverb that it takes a village to raise a child was beautifully demonstrated throughout the ceremony. As a College we are honoured to facilitate and share our students’ journey.”

Our Unknown Achievers

Sharlene Kelly and Lana Rogers.

U/18 team, playing second row. In the years that followed his love of football saw him play in the English league and final, on settling on the Sunshine Coast with his wife Val in tow, played for the local clubs Maroochydore Swans. This led to his selection in the Falcons.

His private life, in part, saw him do a term of 14 years Army with two stints in Timor Leste.

Come time to settle and for the Hooper family, which then consisted of wife Val, three sons and a daughter, their choice was Noosa Banks. For the family life, it was Noosa Nippers in summer and winter, Noosa Pirates Rugby League. It was then that his coaching career really took off.

This saw him coaching for nine years in the junior league: also on Friday afternoons he coached the Noosa Little Athletics. His wife Val, a very successful athletic administrator at State level, saw this as a family affair with fitness and fun for the kids. ‘’It was definitely a family affair.” On moving into the senior ranks with his experience and coaching capabilities, his successes have been outstanding: achievements at national level, have resulted in some of his athletes gaining International selection.

In 2014 Jordan Csabi won the U/18 200m men’s, thus gaining selection in the Youth Olympic Games in China: finishing 10th in his final. It was in 2016, that Samantha Stanley won the U/17 Australian,100,200 m sprint and triple jump, then later that year, became the first female to win the famous Noosa Gift, 110 m professional sprint. The year 2018 saw more achievements: Zane Branco won the Australian U/20 200m sprint in record time, and Samantha Johnson won a bronze medal in the women’s U/20 100 m Hurdles, in what was a world junior qualifying time. The times run by these Noosa Juniors, training under Mick Hooper, saw them selected for the Australian U/20s team, to compete in the World Junior Athletics Championships in Finland July 2018: a carnival which saw over 180 countries from around the world competing.

Zane finished an amazing 5th in a blanket finish in his final and Samantha qualified for the semies in the 100 m Hurdles: then backed up to run 3rd leg in the 4x 100m relay which finished 7th in the final, in Australian record time. To have our juniors, competing under a local coach at World Junior Titles overseas and perform well, is something in which we should

take pride. So why keep it quiet.

What comes across as one of Micks major virtues, is his ability to communicate with athletes at all levels. “As they get older and progress through the levels, there comes time for their serious chat. This is the time that we as coaches, have to sit down, discuss their ambitions and if they are serious and have the determination, fully explain what lies ahead.”

Mick is sadly aware of the problems that lay ahead in his chosen sport: despite the fact that athletics in Australia gets little or no publicity, at the time of the Olympics, it carries the mantle of being the leading sport of the greatest competition of all, the Olympic Games.

With many of our sport coaches, on looking at their background, it is not unusual to find that they come from a very successful athletic career. Such a person is our Sharlene Kelly. Before settling as a coach in the Noosa Surf club, she had competed on surf ski and in kayaks.

On the ski she won medals at both state and national level and in the kayaks, she won selection in the Australian K2 and K4 teams for a two-month tour of Europe: during which they contested the World Cup.

When we take a close look at the community in which we live, it is always interesting to note the number of different organisations that contribute toward making our place of abode, a safe, progressive and happy place in which to live, raise our families and socialise: and of course, the success of all organisations is reliant on its people, be they from the world of business, medicine, entertainment, sport or whatever. It will always get back to its people.

When we look at our world of sport, the number of state national and international medal winners within our community is incredible : sadly, despite living in this somewhat small community, the achievements of both the athletes and the coaches remain unknown.

Today, we take the opportunity to become more aware of just two of these very successful unknowns that we refer to as, the Coach. And there will be others.

It was several years ago, that on the Monday morning, following yet another successful Noosa Triathlon, I had the privilege of sitting in the office of the guru of the Noosa Triathlon, the late Garth Proud. As you can imagine the conversation was centred around sport: not just the Triathlon, but sport in general.

After a while he made a comment, that has not only stayed with me down through the years, but always comes to mind whenever I learn of yet another of our athletes, succeeding at the state, national and international level. “You know mate with the right people in place running this town, it could easily become the sporting capital of Australia.”

If you take the time to draw up a list of our achievers, both coaches and athletes, then add the number of state and international teams and personalities that have visited our place of abode for training camps,(such as the British Lions Rugby Touring side) you would have to agree that the remark, made by this great gentleman, was without a doubt, spot on. The possibility is there to make those famous words a reality.

Be that as it may, I think that it is time that we take the opportunity to acknowledge some of our people: people who have made their presence felt as coaches, not only locally, but also at state, national and international level.

One such person is the Head Coach of Noosa Athletics, Mick Hooper. Mick, who is the proud holder of the International Level 4 IAAF Qualification in Coaching: it is this qualification that enables Mick to coach athletes at elite level. “I have been fortunate to have coached 12 athletes who have, combined, won a total of over 70 Australian medals in various events.”

For Mick, it seems that he was born to live the sporting life. On leaving high school his first journey into the world of sport was when he joined the Sydney Bulldog Juniors, where for two successive years, he made the NSW

Mailee Scott-Jones, Dianne Ladewig and Jennifer Ladewig in a 200m sprint.

“It was several years ago that I decided my sporting ambition: it was to make a career out of coaching the young, to see them develop gives me a real thrill. Also, by coaching the young I feel that I am putting something back into the community.”

It was in 2016, that her coaching in Noosa started in earnest. However, not only did she coach the female ski relay team (a team of three paddlers)but also took part: in the process winning the Australian Championship.

Then again in 2019 another ski paddler, a junior female Electram Outram, came under her coaching and won the Australian title.

Then in 2016, Sharlene met up with a new member, a very strong competitor named Lana Rogers and a partnership was formed.

“Coming from a very competitive family, she was very motivated. For the first two years we worked on improving her technique, fitness, strength and controlled aggressive attitude: it was then she came to realise her potential.”

This was to be the start of a very successful team of coach and athlete, one that would become something of a legend.

It was 2018 that the coaching really took off when Rogers won the blue-ribbon event at the Australian Titles, the Ironwoman Championship of Australia; following this she finished 3rd in the biggest marathon of all, the Coolangatta Gold, then in 2019 she backed up to win the Gold Medal. Both coach and athlete had made their mark.

With the coaching and mental attitude deeply embedded by coach Kelly, the other major event the Nutrigrain Ironwoman Series 2020 was next. This she won and the following year, 2021, she made it two years in a row.

At this years’ Australian Iron Woman Championships, Lana finished second; despite not winning, Sharlene considered it one of her best performances ever. “As a coach I rate it as such, because days prior to the race she had to overcome a bout of sickness: typical of Lana, no one apart from her parents and I, knew anything about it. Her mental attitude, fighting spirit and good sportsmanship showed the true spirit of a great athlete”

Mick Hooper As a coach, Sharlene Kelly is so highly regarded, not only because of her ability to write and activate successful training programs, (which guides the athlete through the seasons ahead) but also, her mental approach: an approach that enables her to be with and guide her athletes through the tough times.

It is this ability to communicate, that leads this lady to achieve the above and beyond.

In todays’ society, with violence, crimes and the ever- present drug problems amongst our youth, the importance of a strong sporting environment within our community, is becoming more essential than ever.

Thus, the role of our local highly ranked, but virtually unknown coaches, is of the utmost importance, not only to their chosen sports, but also to that most vital of all commodities, our families: in other words - Our People.

Cooloola shows off food

By Margaret Maccoll From a frog and butterfly habitat Kin Kin State School’s garden has developed over the past 12 years to become an outdoor classroom where students are learning about gardening, food production and cooking.

The school and its Stephanie Alexander kitchen garden was one of several participants in last weekends Cooloola Farmers Trail that opened their gates to share their knowledge

about their farming practises and showcase their produce.

The schools gardening specialist Gemma Guest said the garden with its perennials and an established orchard was constantly evolving.Principal of the 50-student school, Louise Parry said the students were involved in the garden daily as part of their sustainability practises with morning maintenance and food scraps going into the worm farm.

On a rotation basis a class a week spends time on a Friday in gardening and cooking classes and a meal is prepared and shared by the class.

Each term a meal is cooked for the entire school and special guests are invited, Ms Parry said.

The garden also provides a backdrop and material for the creation of art installations and leads to connects to the children’s wild

and free playground where they enjoy barefoot play or build cubby houses.

Guests to the Cooloola Farmers Trail were also able to drop in on Cooloola Berries, Lindols Macadamias, Purity Essential Oils and Rossmount Nursery while the heavy rains unfortunately hampered the event at Noosa Black. For those who missed out the Cooloola Farmers Trail will be held again on the first weekend of September.

Nominate a Noosa local like rugby stalwart Paul Dwyer Paul Dwyer has long been a stalwart for the Noosa Pirates Rugby League football club.

The club president has been nominated by former Pirates executive Ian Hardcastle for a 2021 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award.

In addition to holding executive positions in the club and volunteering thousands of hours in various roles Paul was instrumental in bringing girls and women to the Pirates and playing the greatest game of all, Ian said.

“Paul’s passion is focused on developing young players to be the best they can be, but also to become valued men and women in our community. This is what sets him apart,” he said.

“Paul has time for every player, every family and anyone who wants to know more about footy and the Noosa Pirates. Forever humble, Paul is deserving of this recognition and we’re lucky to have him in our community.”

Noosa is filled with inspirational people who give of their time to help others and we’re calling on you to nominate these people for a 2021 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award.

Pirates captain Paul Dwyer Noosa Today, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Bendigo Bank are joining forces this year to put a spotlight on these people.

“Queensland Day is an opportunity to

celebrate our culture, heritage, people and unique identity,“ Ms Bolton said. “We also get to honour our inspiring Queensland role models who encourage us all to do better and

be better. So many of our Noosa locals do this by working for the benefit of others and for our collective community.“ We urge people to nominate soon with the deadline looming on Monday 17 May. The awards are open to first-time recipients who have volunteered for a minimum of two years with a limit of two nominations per organisation and whose community work is within the Noosa electorate.

Every completed nomination recognised will see the recipient presented a personalised Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award Medallion and a certificate of recognition at a Queensland Day Ceremony on Thursday 3 June at The J Theatre, Noosaville.

For more information about the awards, contact the Noosa Electorate Office on 5319 3100 or download, complete and email your nomination with a photo of the recipient to sandyBolton.com.

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

KEEPING FAITH ABC TV, 10pm

MONDAY

HACKSAW RIDGE 7MATE, 8.30pm

Andrew Garfield (left) leads this World War II true story of Desmond T. Doss, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms on religious grounds. Doss was ostracised by fellow soldiers for his stance, but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery and selflessness after he risked his life to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa. Also starring Sam Worthington and Vince Vaughn, this well-crafted, tale immerses viewers in the violent horrors of war.

SATURDAY

FINDING ALICE ABC TV, 8.20pm

Viewers have been left considering whether to giggle or sob in this offbeat British mystery slash comedy slash drama. It could have easily all gone off the rails, but the unfolding mystery of father and husband Harry’s (Jason Merrells) death after falling down his fancy new staircase has artfully kept viewers guessing – and wondering what his bereaved wife Alice, played by the excellent Keeley Hawes, will do next.

In tonight’s season finale, Alice admirably (some might say foolishly) pushes ahead with grand plans while her world cracks.

Unsurprisingly, there are more chasms in store, but fans can rest assured that season two is in the works. Phew.

FRIDAY

THE NICE GUYS GEM, 11.10pm

The 1970s is an enduringly fashionable decade in Hollywood (Boogie Nights, Inherent Vice, American Hustle), and this film starring Ryan Gosling (above) and Russell Crowe also takes place in this groovy period. Cop buddy comedy and neo-noir mystery combine as private eye Holland March (Gosling) and hired thug Jackson Healy (Crowe) join forces after a young woman named Amelia (Margaret Qualley) disappears. Directed

by Shane Black (Iron Man 3), who also wrote Lethal Weapon, this highly watchable flick features plenty of odd-couple banter and violence, as well as an impressive turn

by Australian youngster Angourie Rice.

The oft-muttered statement, “Not in front of the kids,” takes on a twisted new meaning in tonight’s season two finale of this enjoyable Welsh thriller.

This time, it’s not in reference to eating that block of chocolate away from prying eyes; though, in truth, you may need a sugar hit after sitting through the episode’s intense circumstances. Breeze (Rhashan Stone) gives Evan (Bradley Freegard) an ultimatum. As the clock ticks on the Corran Energy deal, Faith (Eve Myles, pictured) rushes to find the woman who could overturn Madlen’s (AimeeFfion Edwards) conviction.

The truth comes out – and so will season three – in due time.

Eve Myles stars as the eponymous Faith in Keeping Faith

Friday, 7 May, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 29

Surfers To Watch It’s going to be a different kind of Noosa Festival of Surfing in 2021. Not only are we switching months and seasons, but this will also be a year of ‘locals only’. With the COVID pandemic all but closing our borders, this year will be an all-Australian affair… well, mostly!

Despite this limitation on entries, numbers are still abundant. The lack of overseas travel has inspired more national competitors than ever to consider making the annual pilgrimage to our small town on the Sunshine Coast. With so many surfers in the lineup, the calibre of competition is sure to be exceptional, and while all entrants are worthy of our attention, there are some to whom a little more attention should be given. Here’s our list of six stellar sliders to keep an eye on at First Point:

MASON SCHREMMER

HARRISON ROACH

Mason first knocked our socks off as a young teen 6-7 years ago. Fresh to the festival, she displayed the amazing skills learned under the tutelage of the beach boys at her home break of Waikiki. As the years progressed, so did her surfing… and the contents of her trophy cabinet.

The humble Noosa local has surfed all over the world as a globallyrenowned freesurfer on any breed of equipment. Winner of innumerable festival trophies and an impeccable noserider, Harrison knows these points better than anyone and is an exemplar of contemporary logging.

MATT CHOJNACKI

BOWIE POLLARD

Matty Chunnaki, Chonno, waxhead - he goes by many names, but his surfing speaks for itself. Matt channels the textbook footwork and finesse of surfing legends, and throws in a dose of contemporary flair. Endlessly knowledgeable, he’s a true gentleman-surfer, as quick to share his wisdom as he is to make something magical out of any wave he catches

Hot rod fanatic, surf shop manager and local surf reporter, Bowie rides the open points of the central Sunshine Coast on whatever craft the day dictates, but it’s on a heavy-glassed singlefin log on the long Noosa rights that he is most at home. A disciplined athlete and competitor, Bowie is the much-loved perennial dark horse of numerous divisions.

EMILY LETHBRIDGE

LANDEN SMALES

Emily has followed in the footsteps of numerous other local longboarders, onto the world tour and up to the top. State and national champion with exceptional results on a more global stage. While 2020 was trimmed down to just one event, Emily’s impressive 3rd on the World Longboard Tour gave her best result to date.

Young Landen seemingly came out of nowhere in 2019. Growing up less than an hour south of Noosa, the region is a familiar stomping ground for him. The thing that has set Landen apart, taking him to third place in 2019 and a resounding first place last year, is the maturity and wisdom he surfs with, belying his handful of years on the clock.

30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 May, 2021

Sustainability PLEDGE The Noosa Festival of Surfing is focused on the protection of the pristine and iconic Noosa World Surfing Reserve.

It is a central consideration underlying our sustainable event management principles of Stewardship, Inclusivity, Integrity and Transparency.

status by completely removing the use of single use plastics at our event. In 2021, we will continue to work with Plastic Free Noosa to achieve Plastic Free Champion status and meet with nearby businesses to encourage movement and steps towards plastic free operations.

The Festival recognises its event, management activities and operations, on the beach and in the water, have the potential to have both positive and negative environmental, economic and social impact. The Festival commits to continually improve the environmental and social sustainability performance and annual benchmarking.

The Festival will comply with all relevant legislation and regulations within the permit approved through the Noosa Council and strive to achieve international best practice.

We encourage everyone associated with the Festival to present our commitment to environmental and social sustainability to all.

In 2021, we target saving over 10,000 single use water bottles by providing a Back to Tap refill station. In 2019, we were awarded Plastic Free Champion

Noosa local Doug Gorman with American actress and model Brooke Shields.

Doug’s career as a Flight Steward has taken him all over the world.

Radio host’s famous tales

By Abbey Cannan A Noosa radio presenter tells his tales of meeting the rich and famous whilst working with a man then labelled by Time Magazine as the ’World’s Richest Self-Made Man’.

He spent over 20 years as a host at Noosa Community Radio Station pumping out rock’n roll, blues and soul, but prior to that Doug Gorman spent his days on private jets and luxury yachts alongside Saudi billionaire Adnan Khashoggi.

“I still shake my head in disbelief at the so many things, people, and places I got involved in all over the world,“ Doug said.

Sharing laughs with the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Phillip, meeting Princess Diana’s boyfriend just prior to their fateful crash, and having drinks with James Bond actor Sean Connery, are just a few of the unbelievable encounters Doug experienced.

Doug was born and raised in Scotland, where he later became a professional soccer player and also fronted his own band, as he did elsewhere on his travels.

He then came out to Australia on a professional soccer contract.

“I was employed later in Sydney by a ’Wine Master’ and director of Penfolds Wines, who taught me all about wines, and this changed my life’s direction,“ Doug said.

“I then joined Qantas as a Flight Steward based in Sydney, and later with Canadian Air based in Montreal, as I spoke sufficient French.

After that I worked on a charter airline out of London, with all these jobs taking me around the world.

“This led to being taken on by Saudi entrepreneur Adnan Khashoggi, bringing me a further exciting nine years of travel and exceptional experiences, with four years on his personal luxury yacht and then another five years on his equally luxury private jet aircrafts, again travelling the world.“ Doug said this job was where he came into close contact with many international celebrities.

“Both Prince Phillip and Sean Connery passed away recently and I had the pleasure of meeting them,“ he said.

“I met Sean on the yacht, where he didn’t ask for a martini, as one would expect from a James Bond, but a Bloody Mary instead. We were both from Edinburgh in Scotland, which he didn’t know at the time, and I went up to him and said “I can’t get away from you guys from Edinburgh“.

“Later we shared drinks and laughs on three other occasions.“ Doug came back to Western Australia for a break and went to his old place of work with a hotel chain to enquire if anything was going.

They said “Doug, we’re glad you dropped in because Prince Phillip is touring Australia and he’s going to be visiting all the mining towns.“ 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 May, 2021

Doug worked for Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi, pictured on the cover of Time Magazine.

He was asked to manage a banquet hosted

by Prince Phillip, where he would carefully select wines and advise staff on how to appropriately serve the Duke and guests.

“I was advised that the Duke was to come in and order one of two drinks, a Pink Gin or a Bloody Mary without the Vodka. When he came in, he was amused that I came from Edinburgh too,“ Doug said.

“We got on famously and of course you had to stand back, you couldn’t pat him on the back or anything like that. He had the Pink Gin.“ Doug was also working when he met famous American actress and model Brooke Shields, taking her on a flight from Monaco, where she had been one of the famous guests at the wedding anniversary of Prince and Princess Rainer (Grace Kelly).

“We got on famously and were having a great time when Brooke asked her Mum to take a picture of us, as we were heading for Paris.

“I also met Dodi Fayed a number of times on the yacht, as he was Adnan’s nephew,“ Doug said.

“Dodi was to become the latest and last boyfriend of Princess Diana. When I heard that Diana had taken up with Dodi, knowing Dodi, I said “You’ve got to be kidding me.“ “I didn’t see a happy ending coming to that one and of course it wasn’t.“ Sometime before that Doug was staying at The Ritz Hotel in Paris, at the same time as Dodi, as they were taking him to a flight the following evening.

“I arranged all the catering for that flight with the hotel’s head chef,“ Doug said.

“This was to be delivered by the limo to the

Doug has spent 20 years as a presenter at Noosa FM. aircraft the next night. The food was nicely set out on platters which had ’The Ritz Hotel’ on them. I asked him should I return the plates to the hotel with his driver. He said ’Hell no, I own the goddamn place, just keep them Doug’. So I did, and I still have a few.“ Prior to that, Doug had used the same rear entrance to The Ritz that Dodi and Diana used on that fateful night.

“It was the last picture of the two that was ever taken,“ he said.

“Previously I had used the same limo, with the same driver, through the same Paris tunnel as they used, heading for the same airport that night. As the world knows, they did not make it out of that tunnel.

“When I heard the news of the crash, I just shook my head - knowing.“ Apart from his time travelling with the billionaire Saudi entrepreneur, Doug spent time as a guest with President Mobutu of Zaire in his palatial home in the middle of the jungle.

“He introduced us to his family and entou-

rage, and his hospitality was fantastic,“ Doug said.

“Who would have thought I’d end up as a guest of the President of Zaire for five days in the middle of the African jungle?“ Back in Australia, something that few would be game to do was to turn down an offer from Aussie mogul Kerry Packer, not just once but twice.

“One job was to travel with him on world trips. They were attractive offers but it was time for me to try and settle down and lay down some secure roots here in Australia,“ Doug said.

“I also spent time off chatting, a number of times, with the then Prime Minister Bob Hawke.

“Just some of the stories of a life well-travelled.“ You can tune into Doug every Friday, from 2 to 4pm on Noosa FM 101.3 or streaming live on noosafm.org where he presents his ’Diggin’ with Doug’ show.

Duke’s boots, Tom’s book

By Phil Jarratt Sitting in a bar across the street from his surf shop, Hastings Street businessman Michael Holmes can barely contain his excitement as he carefully unwraps his treasures and removes them from a big box.

“Well?” The owner of Noosa Longboards and recent appointee to the Tourism Noosa board is beaming at me. I can see the ladies at the next table looking curiously at a pair of cowboy boots and a little book with a tapa cloth cover taking pride of place between our beers. “Amazing,” I reply.

And they are, although it might take a collector of the eclectic to see it. But collecting historical memorabilia is a passion that Holmes and I share, although he’s way above my pay grade. For example, I have a copy of the 1983 reprint of the 1935 book, minus the tapa cover, for which I paid $US150 some years ago at the Old Lahaina Book Emporium on Maui.

He bid several thousand dollars for his original at the Bonham’s Auctions “California Dreamin’” on-line auction in Los Angeles last July, then had to wait months to get the traditional tapa cover through quarantine.

The book may or may not have been the personal copy of its author, Tom Blake – there are some pencil notations on a few pages and it was once sold in a lot with a collection of Blake’s personal correspondence – but there is no doubting that this near-mint condition copy of The Hawaiian Surfboard is the first published book devoted entirely to surfing.

But Duke’s boots are what really caught my eye. Described in the Bonham’s catalogue as “fashioned in dark brown, white and mahogany leather, with wooden soles and heels tipped with ‘Soft Nylon Bilt-Rite’ heels, interior loops, no label, ‘0597’ in pen to sole of right boot…

Provenance: purchased directly from Nadine Kahanamoku.”

The late Nadine Kahanamoku was the widow of Duke Pau Kahanamoku, the great Hawaiian Olympic swimming gold medallist, silent film actor and godfather of modern surfing, who died in 1968. Having spent a year researching him for a book I wrote about Duke’s 1914-15 tour of Australia, I thought I knew pretty much everything there was to know about Kahanamoku, including the highly unconventional affair he and one of his brothers had with the billionaire tobacco heiress Doris Duke. But, other than a set-up in the MGM lot when he once played a Red Indian brave in a silent western, I didn’t know he was a horseman.

“He was an excellent horseman,” says Michael Holmes. “I found that out when I researched the Hawaiian paniolo (cowboy) culture.” Holmes later sends me a photo from the Bishop Museum showing Duke resplendent on horseback leading the 1960 Aloha Week parade in Honolulu, wearing…you guessed it, the actual boots. He also disputes Bonham’s claim that they were purchased from Nadine.

“When Duke died, he left his boots to his young brother Sargent, who had three wives and a stepdaughter through the last one. When Sarge died, he left them to the stepdaughter.

That’s the true family connection. She appar-

Duke Kahanamoku wears the boots, 1960. ently later sold them to a prominent Honolulu antique dealer, but he was doing it tough during Covid and put a lot of items on the market.”

Michael first saw both the book and the boots on display at the Moana Surfrider Hotel on the Wakiki beachfront a few years back and has been waiting to pounce ever since. He says: “I’ve been a Duke nut all my life but I’d never owned a personal item. I felt the same way about Elvis, had to own something he’d owned.”

The memorabilia of surfing and popular culture are Michael’s major interests as a collector, but he’s also pretty good at collecting people. He met Kathy Kohner Zuckerman, the original “Gidget” when she came to the Noosa Festival of Surfing in 2010, and has become firm friends with the LA-based surfing icon and her husband Marv.

More recently, he arranged a meeting, also in Los Angeles, with John Van Hamersveld, the legendary octogenarian graphic designer whose portfolio includes the poster for the film classic The Endless Summer, and equally famous album jacket images of John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix. As well as trading collectibles, the two have now become mates.

Michael’s son Ash, who manages Noosa Longboards, has also been dragged into his father’s obsession. “He’s worse than me!” Michael laughs. Perhaps not surprisingly, the surf shop which has always had a cultural leaning, has now become more of a trading post, with rare books and vinyl given as much space as tee shirts and boardies.

It’s a fascinating mix, and very soon it will be expanded by the arrival of the showpiece tapa cloth book and the cowboy boots, locked securely in a cabinet. But they won’t be for sale.

Not now, not ever.

Felicity and Josh take to the stage Singer-songwriter Felicity Urquhart will soon take to the stage with Josh Cunningham in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi.

The event on Friday 28 May is set to be a super special night, as they celebrate their new album ‘The Song Club’.

Felicity Urquhart has long been one of the best-loved and most decorated country singer-songwriters in Australian song, while Josh is renowned as a member of the beloved and multi award-winning folk-rock trio The Waifs.

Both have both enjoyed lengthy, successful, enduring musical careers.

A collective haul of Golden Guitars, ARIA Awards, multi-platinum album sales and extensive touring over nearly three decades forms a body of work that serves as a ready definition of success.

In January 2020, Felicity and Josh were invited to join Song Club - a creative collective that tasked members with writing a song a week.

This challenge gave the pair a lifeline to creativity and community as well as an abundance of new material, enough in fact to make a whole album. The album is titled ‘The Song Club’ and will be out 7 May via ABC Music.

So, from a year that many would have gladly sent back for a refund, a joy bringing, spirit-lifting collection of songs emerged - as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the light of music and love can never be extinguished.

Long-time admirers from afar of each other’s work, the pair consider it an honour to be creating music together.

“To harness our collective passion for story and song and get to tell our own story in the most personal way through the most personal medium we know is truly inspiring,“ Josh said.

“I can’t think of a time when I’ve felt such a need for the healing force of music,“ he said.

“The world seems to be groaning under the burden of upheaval on many fronts and while music doesn’t make hard realities disappear, it certainly softens them and provides an opportunity for folks to celebrate and come together.

‘Landscape As Muse’ exhibition will be presented by artists Ann Brown, Kerry Harrison, Wendy Talbot, Sheena Walsh, and Jo Williams.

Singer-songwriter Felicity Urquhart is set take to the stage with Josh Cunningham.

The duo will celebrate their new album ‘The Song Club’.

“In the face of all that’s wrong in the world, music will always be right.”

Chorale’s tribute to spirit of Olympia

By Jim Fagan It is 1896 and you are in Athens sitting on a marble seat in the Olympic Stadium listening to the Hymn of the Olympics-;the opening music of the first-ever Modern Games.

Fast forward 125 years and this time you are sitting in the J Theatre listening to Noosa Chorale sing the same inspirational hymn as it opens its gold medal concert of songs and music - spectacular music which has thrilled spectators and athletes alike at the Olympics ever since.

Music like The Messiah’s Hallelujah Chorus (Berlin 1936), Friends for Life (Jose Carreras and Sarah Brightman, Barcelona 1992), John Lennon’s Imagine (Stevie Wonder, London 1996) and Because We Believe (Andrea Bocelli, Turin 2006).

And the Chorale has invited two of Noosa audiences’ favourite soloists -- Hungarian soprano Judit Molnar and former Ten Tenors’ David Kidd to perform with it and sing this timeless music and song.

The choir and the 33-piece Olympic Orchestra will be conducted by Chorale music director Adrian King who has promised a very special concert in which everyone’s senses will be “stirred and enthused and one which I sincerely hope will stay in the memories of the performers and audience alike for a long time to come.”

Adrian told Noosa Today that after a concert-less year because of the pandemic the singers had returned with a real eagerness to perform.

“Every singer - without exception - is so pleased that at last we can all come together, make music.

Former Ten Tenor David Kidd.

To add to the excitement of the evening, giant screens on either side of the stage will show rare photographs of historic Olympic moments.

As it is the perfect prelude to the Tokyo Olympic Games in July and August, tickets for this original gala event - understood to be a first for Australia—are selling quickly.

The concerts are endorsed by the Australian Olympic Committee. In a special message, its CEO Matt Carroll says, “The Chorale’s initiative is certainly promoting the Olympic spirit in a most unique way.”

Hungarian soprano Judit Molnar And at the invitation of the Chorale, Olympic swimming legend Dawn Fraser MBE AC OLY has agreed to be its Ambassador for the concerts and will make a guest appearance on stage.

Tickets now on sale. “The Spirit of Olympia” at the J, Noosa junction, Friday, May 28, 7pm, and Saturday, May 29, 2pm. Price $45. Phone (07) 5329 6560 or online www.thej.com.au

Seven female artists This May and June there will be two group exhibitions by seven female artists on show at the Cooroy Butter Factory.

The Creamery and Foyer exhibition, ‘Let’s Play Wild’ by Laura Vecmane and Ketakii Jewson-Brown and the Butterbox group exhibition ‘Landscape as Muse’ by five female Fraser Coast artists.

The two shows collectively showcase seven female artists who are uniquely responding to their natural environment, delving into themes of ‘wild’ and ‘landscape’.

The artworks are responses to the artist’s natural surrounds through a variety of 2D work, mixed media and sculpture.

Gallery Coordinator and Curator, Alicia Sharples said, “As humans we are not separable from our environment or the influence it has on us.“ “The two new upcoming exhibitions by female artists explores different themes of nature’s influence on our human experience, one where the influence over the artists creative practise is not always discernible.“ ‘Let’s Play Wild’ is a collaborative art project (supported by RADF) between two emerging, Maleny based artists, Ketakii Jewson-Brown and Laura Vecmane, which will be on display in the Creamery and Foyer of the Butter Factory.

The two artists explore themes of playfulness and wildness in its many facets; the diverse roles of the feminine, the surrounding environment, and the many sensual experiences of daily life.

Laura Vecmane is both a painter and ephemeral artist working with natural materials.

Ketakii is a photographer and multimedia artist who will present both photographic and collaged artwork that will sit alongside Laura’s to create a dynamic exhibition which will inspire the viewer’s imagination.

The Butterbox group exhibition, ‘Landscape as Muse’ features five female artists from the Fraser Coast; Ann Brown, Kerry Harrison, Wendy Talbot, Sheena Walsh, Jo Williams.

The artists explore the theme of ‘Landscape’ as a word for topographies, environments, outlooks, views, perspectives, vistas, aspects.

The two exhibitions open Friday 7 May, tickets are free but booking is essential via the website.

Opening event on 7 May, 6 - 8pm.

Exhibition dates from 7 May - 13 June at 11A Maple Street, Cooroy.

Village runs green Noosa Village shopping centre, in the heart of the Noosaville residential and tourist precinct, is a favourite for locals and went green two years ago by installing a huge 250kW rooftop solar power generation system, the largest in Noosa’s coastal region.

The 15 stores now get a significant portion of their electricity needs met from the sun that shines on their roofs. The Awesome Little Fruit Shop, BWS, Gazman, Gusto coffee, J1Sushi, LiveLife Pharmacy, Noosa House of Flowers, Noosa Village Meats, Noosa Village Newsagency, Noosaville Post Office, Ocean Spa Nails, Tobacco Station Group, The Bakehouse, the Reject Shop and anchor Woolworths are all beneficiaries of the system.

We caught up with Waqar Qureshi, who manages the sustainability initiatives for owner Fort Street Real Estate, to see how the benefits are stacking up. Waqar said that each year 336 tonnes of CO2 pollution is avoided by not using electricity generated from burning coal.

Savings are in line with expectations, and it’s being very well received by the community. The centre provides power to retailers through a single connection to Energex (known as an embedded network) which realises savings in energy costs, meaning tenants don’t have to pay a high premium to get clean power. Waqar says 40 percent of the total usage is being supplied by the solar system and he expects payback to be reached in another three years.

“On top of the obvious environmental benefits, the solar system is a big benefit for both ourselves and our tenants at Noosa Village.

The clean energy generated onsite is sold on to our tenants in line or below rates from large energy retailers, and substantially below the premium rates that they’d pay for clean energy. It’s a win-win-win scenario for our tenants, ourselves, and the environment.”

Owners Fort Street Real Estate have recently completed energy efficiency upgrades across all their 13 properties, resulting in more than 200 percent reduction on common area

Noosa Village solar system. electricity usage across the upgraded assets.

Said Waqar: “Fort Street has installed rooftop solar systems at 10 of our 13 assets, totalling 1.81MW. Across the portfolio, we forecast to generate approximately 2.61 gigawatt hours of clean energy per annum, reducing our carbon footprint by approximately 2,135 tonnes of CO2e per year.

“At a local level, we are also integrating our

Picture: SUPPLIED sustainability initiatives into the individual retail spaces by providing tools to educate and encourage retailers to adopt best practice’ as well as negating the use of single use bags by creating a Noosa Village shopping bag designed by one of our young community members. Future plans include creating reusable coffee cups, and we have a water refill station to discourage use of single use plastic bottles.”

Postcode emissions Zero Emissions Noosa is profiling how different postcode localities are tracking towards the goal of zero community emissions for Noosa by 2026. This week the spotlight is on Noosaville postcode 4566.

Around one in six people in Noosa Shire call postcode 4566 their home.

Local resident and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart praised Noosaville residents for their take-up of rooftop solar.

“My family and I have switched on to the benefits of solar and I’m pleased to see so many of our fellow Noosaville residents have done the same,” she said.

“By generating your own energy when the sun’s up and not drawing it from the power grid, you’re not only helping the household budget, but reducing your emissions. That’s great news for our environment and it’s giving our shared community goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2026 a boost.”

Total solar installed is around 11.7MW which, if laid out, would cover 10 soccer fields. 40 percent of residential dwellings have solar, and 15 percent of businesses have made the solar investment. But there’s plenty of room for improvement, as only about 9 percent of potential roof space is being used.

Electricity consumption reduced by almost 10 percent over the two years to July 2020, according to Energex data for the large Noosaville Zone Substation, and over a 10 year period, average residential daily usage is down almost a quarter.

Next time we’ll look at postcode 4567 which takes in Noosa Heads and Sunshine, Sunrise and Castaways Beach.

On behalf of the Noosa and District Pipe Band Inc. I am writing to say a very big Thank You to Noosa Council for approving our application for a grant that we applied for last year.Without this money we would not have been able to purchase the new bass drum and piping equipment that we need.With last year being a very difficult one for all community groups to earn money due to the cancellation of events, we were so grateful to the Council for approving our application. So the Band wanted to let the community know that we really appreciated the Noosa Council supporting our Band.

the Cooroy Golf Club, asking if I wish to become a co-respondent in the court case that they are bringing against Noosa Council. The developers, GTH Project No 4, have been given a detailed explanation as to why this development is inappropriate for this particular piece of land, citing how it goes against the Noosa Plan. However, in the interest of profits, they are refusing to take ‘No’ for an answer.Our last council election was very telling in who was backing whom, and fortunately, the developer’s push did not prevail.This appeal against the Council’s decision is a litmus test for the Noosa Plan. Should it be lost then the white shoe brigade will be able to stomp all over our beautiful shire?

The argument that ‘we need more afford-

able housing’ won’t wash for this project. it will not be housing families, or hospitality workers.

It is a retirement village, aimed at elderly retirees from the southern states.

We cannot keep covering our fertile land, and straining our water resources, just because a large number of tradies see building new houses as their right. Repairs/renovations/rebuilds and house additions are the market that they need to focus on. Aside from the Council’s refusal, when Councillor Amelia Lorentson surveyed the people of Cooroy about this project, the people who attended her session were adamant that this development was inappropriate for Cooroy.

We have some work to do The Noosa region is home to more than 700 veterans who have served to protect our country, and we, as a nation, owe each of them a debt of gratitude. We also owe them adequate care and assistance, following their service to our country.

But as a nation, we have not delivered on our pledge to support them. Veterans are twice as likely to take their own life, and often struggle with PTSD and other mental health issues as a result.

The recent announcement by Prime Minister Scott Morrison that there will be a Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide is the culmination of a lot of work by the veteran community, and it’s the start of an opportunity to right a terrible wrong.

This is an issue that I’ve spoken about in Parliament, that I have raised with my colleagues in Canberra, and I am pleased that their voices will now be heard. We all hope that this Royal Commission will shed light on our shortcomings towards the veteran community, so we can set them right, and veterans can access the support they deserve and need.

I encourage everyone to contribute to the Terms of Reference for the Royal Commission which are being developed in consultation with the defence and veteran community, which can be done at this website: https:// www.dva.gov.au/public-consultation-informterms-reference-royal-commission-defenceand-veteran-suicide In the lead up to Fatality Free Friday on May 28, I’d also like to remind all road users to be mindful of the Fatal Five: speeding, intoxication (drugs and/or alcohol), failure to wear a seat belt, driver fatigue and distraction.

Every driver needs to be mindful of their responsibility to themselves, their passengers, other road users and the community, every time they get behind the wheel.

Last year, there were 1,108 deaths on Australian roads, each of them with a devastating impact on loved ones and their communities, and as the co-Chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Road Safety, I am encouraging everyone to pledge to do their part to reduce the road toll. You can sign the pledge at this link: https://arsf.com.au/take-the-pledge-fff/

On The Soapbox Katie Rose Cottage Hospice Treasurer Les Godwin

Sue Godwin and her mother Jean

Les Godwin

On Mothers Day we’ll think of Jean and Katie Rose This Mother’s Day my wife, Sue, and I will remember her mother, Jean, and be eternally grateful to Katie Rose for the warmth and compassion Jean, received there earlier this year.

It is only when you experience the process of a loved one spending her last days in the hospice that you see the real worth of what it is and the great people at the coalface who deliver the services it provides.

What they did for Jean came from the heart.

Jean died surrounded by love.

I am treasurer and a board member of Katie Rose. I am also an accountant and, when the board was being formed close on five years ago, I was asked if I would assist.

I had no hesitation is volunteering as my Rotary club at Eumundi is a great admirer of the hospice and I was very familiar with what it does.

Financial sustainability is fundamental to any organisation and this is particularly so at our haven in Doonan.

The contribution by the State Government is 30 per of our annual costs and, while we are grateful for the $270,000 per annum, it still means the other 70 per cent (more than $1 million) has to be raised by our volunteers and the community There is no doubt of the warmth and regard you and others in the community have for Ka-

tie Rose ... your support of our Op shops, our fundraising events and even our coin collection boxes in the local baker or newsagent is proof of that.

Every year is a challenge, but with the help and generosity of the Sunshine Coast community -you--we get the job done.

Right now, we have an urgent need to upgrade the beds and associated equipment in our three guest rooms. They are not ordinary beds. They are automated to provide different sizes for different people, providing maximum comfort for people like Jean.

They cost $15,000 each and the original beds were bought by donation from people

like you. We ask you to help us again with your gift.

And may I just remind you that every dollar you give -no matter how great or small— is tax deductible.

PS Jean came from Geelong Victoria and, as she didn’t know many people on the Coast, Sue and I decided to have a quiet memorial service and donate the cost of a funeral towards buying a new bed. It would be wonderful if you would join us.

Fun and frivolity in May Little Seed Theatre Company’s fifth Shakespeare production, Much Ado About Nothing, is set to hit the stage in mid-May. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Macdonald at the Noosa Botanic Gardens, and staged in the roman-style amphitheatre, Much Ado about Nothing follows sold out seasons of Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer’s Night Dream, The Tempest and Twelfth Night.

Little Seed’s Creative Director Johanna Wallace said Much Ado About Nothing was a lighthearted romantic comedy that will have the audience in stitches.

“It’s a lot of fun. It’s quick, witty, there’s lots of banter and a lot of laughter,” Ms Wallace said.

Much Ado About Nothing was written around 1598, but Little Seed’s production is set in 1950s Italy.

“Our costumes and music lend the production a dash of 1950s glamour - think La Dolce Vita rather than Elizabethan,” Ms Wallace said.

Shakespeare’s rollicking comedy follows two couples: sharp-tongued sparring partners Beatrice (Jacqui Elley) and Benedick (Jack Miller); and lovebirds Claudio (Callum Johnston) and Hero (Eden Tregear). Their two stories take an unexpected course as they learn the line between love and hate is a fine one indeed.

This Little Seed production concludes a cycle of six years’ worth of training for some of the performers. One of those is Jacqui Elley, 17, who says she loves the opportunity to play a 400-year-old character with such a contemporary perspective.

Little Seed Theatre Company’s production, Much Ado About Nothing, is set to hit the stage mid-May. “Beatrice is similar to many people I know my own age. She appears tough on the surface, but underneath is not so sure of herself,” Jacqui said.

This is Jacqui’s final year with Little Seed, following several standout roles over the years, including Roger in Lord of the Flies and Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked. She also played Juliet in Little Seed’s first Shakespearean foray at the age of 13.

“I’ve learnt so much from being part of Little Seed and am looking forward to a career in the creative industries,” Jacqui said.

Ms Wallace said Shakespeare is “bootcamp for actors”.

“Over the last five years we’ve built a body of work and a reputation for delivering shows that are both entertaining and challenging.

Much Ado About Nothing is not serious, but

Eden Tegear and Callum Johnston.

Pictures: GISELLE PETERS it still stretches us. It is both fun and gruelling to pick up one of Shakespeare’s plays, break it apart and create something that is fresh, new and appeals to modern audiences,” Ms Wallace said.

Oriana performing with acclaimed director Pomona Art in the Paddock The Sunshine Coast’s renowned Oriana Choir will be presenting Mozart’s Requiem May 15 at The Events Centre Caloundra and May 16 at St John’s Cathedral, Brisbane City.

Conducted by internationally acclaimed choral and orchestral director, Andrew Wailes, the choir will be joined by Sinfonia of St Andrew’s and soloists Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke, Soprano, Anne Fulton, Alto, Philip Prendergast, Tenor, and Shaun Brown, Bass.

The choir and orchestra will also present Sunrise Mass, a stunning modern sacred work

by Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. The combined program is a reflection of current times with the Sunrise Mass depicting hope, peace and light in a dawning world and the Requiem mourning for all that has been lost.

The Mozart Requiem was the grand master’s final composition. Left incomplete at Mozart’s death, the Requiem has always been surrounded by mystery and intrigue sparking numerous romantic exaggerations.

A lucrative commission by an anonymous stranger - portrayed as a herald of the composer’s own premature death - led to many tales and stories in the nineteenth century and became the basis for dramatic works on Mozart’s life in the twentieth century. While the reality is somewhat more prosaic, the Requiem itself remains one of the most intimate, fervent and

“Andrew’s knowledge of composers and classical music knows no bounds,” said Melissa Innes, President of Oriana referring to Wailes, Oriana’s seasonal Musical Director, who is travelling from Melbourne and his regular engagement with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic to conduct Oriana for select weekend rehearsals, in addition to the direction of the concerts in May. “During rehearsals he shares many anecdotal gems from history and his personal interpretation of the music, and from his own performance experience.

“The works spring to life with Andrew bringing context, meaning and significance to the music.”

Oriana’s regular patrons will remember Ola Gjeilo’s exquisite Sunrise Mass from the choir’s highly acclaimed 2017 present.

WHAT’S ON

Foodie book

By Abbey Cannan This Mother’s Day, Australia’s foodie fiction queen and Noosa Hinterland local Josephine Moon brings readers her sweetest story yet.

Filled with warmth and soul, The Jam Queens is set to delight and inspire readers.

Josephine, whose bestselling contemporary fiction is published internationally, said it was always exciting to have a new book out in the world.

“They take so many years to write so when it all finally comes together it’s an exciting moment,” she said.

“It is a perfect Mother’s Day book as it celebrates four generations of women from the one family travelling together. It celebrates those bonds and the dynamic relationships we have with our family.”

As a mother herself, Josephine said it was the hardest thing you’ll ever do but also the greatest thing you’ll ever do.

“My son is absolutely my world and I treasure my relationship with him so much,” she said.

“I think I’m in a sweet spot right now because he’s eight and he’s really good fun and still really likes me.”

The Jam Queens is a heartwarming tale of a mother, daughter, grandmother and greataunt reuniting for the trip of a lifetime through some of Australia’s most magical and remote places.

Award-winning jam maker Aggie is determined to take her Barossa Valley Cafe to new heights. She has put the pain of unsuccessful IVF treatments behind her, and is focused on the future. When an invitation to travel across Australia on the Ghan for her mother’s seventieth birthday comes her way, Aggie is at first apprehensive.

But the trip overs a precious opportunity to spend some quality time with both her disgruntled mother, Valeria, and her distant

Noosa hinterland resident Josephine Moon brings readers her sweetest story yet. daughter, Holly, as well as her meddling greataunt Myrtle. The four generations of the family, all single women, will be reunited at last.

“I think this book is a great chance for reader’s to escape and do some armchair travelling around Australia. It’s just a really good, comforting, heart-warming read,” Josephine said.

It’s not all just fiction, Josephine is her own jam queen, as her strawberry jam won first place at the Royal Brisbane Show on her first time competing. The recipe she developed is even included in The Jam Queens.

Her previous books include The Tea Chest, The Chocolate Promise, The Beekeeper’s Secret, Three Gold Coins, The Gift of Life and The Cake Maker’s Wish.

Josephine said she would now be taking some time off to refill her creative well.

“I’ll be listening out for the next book that want’s to be written,” she said.

Find The Jam Queens at local book stores and online.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Some days, pizza-perfect Trevor Pepys reviews Somedays Pizza, Noosa Junction Look, keep this amongst yourselves, but Trev is a granddad four times over. I know, I know, that’s impossible, must have started very young etc etc. But it’s true.

Grandies having no wine appreciation or robust conversation and very little couth, Trev tends to avoid them except for Christmas and birthdays, when they line up gratefully for a two dollar coin in an envelope or a re-gifted handkerchief. But this being the youngest grandboy’s very special entry into double digits, it was determined that the family would seek out the coolest, hippest bestest pizza joint in town, and accordingly the elders of the tribe were hauled off to something called Somedays, at the Tuscan end of the Junction.

Okay, okay, Trev had heard distant rumbles about Somedays being worth a visit, but in the year or so since they opened just as the pandemic kicked in, he simply hadn’t gotten around to it. But as he and the missus walked up the steps and were confronted by the very best smells that can waft from a wood-fired oven, he wondered why it had taken him so long.

Then he opened the wine list and wished he hadn’t! Look, I know some of our readers are a little tired of Trev’s endless campaign for a sensibly priced house wine option at even the poshest parlours, but I also know that there are many good burghers from the poorer parts of the Noosa riverfront and Sunshine Beach, people who can barely afford fuel for their jet skis and motorboats, who are right behind me on this. And when the wine list at a family-oriented pizza joint starts in the fifties, well, I rest my case.

That said, the vision of Nathan Ramsay and Shane Newton when they started Somedays was to take the very best local produce and artisan delights from all over and dumb them down into pizzas, then smarten it all up again with an amazingly versatile yet eclectic wine list. So it’s kind of like a very smart wine bar with a wood-fired pizza oven and a tolerance for kids.

Trev bit the bullet and ordered a couple of glasses of King Valley Dal Zotto prosecco ($11 and dry and tasty) to whet the whistle while we waited for the tardy tribe. We were about to order another when the gang arrived and a dutiful daughter saved the day by recommending the 2018 Poderi del Paradiso Chianti ($57).

This is a damn fine dry Tuscan red, made from organic grapes near Siena, with the bouquet of red cherries and the taste of plums with a hint of pepper and spice.

The birthday boy and his big brother were heading straight into pizza off the kids menu, so we decided to cut to the chase too, ordering three pizzas – Peppo & Roni, with Pino’s

At the oven.

mistake salami, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, oregano, extra virgin olive oil ($25); Lost In The Forest, with a wine-sauteed mix of four mushrooms, baby spinach, balsamic onion, chilli goat’s cheese and lemon zest ($26); and Ruby Tuesday, with crispy Parma prosciutto, Meredith goat’s cheese, mozzarella, marinated kohirabi root, fire-roasted purple onion, hickory smoked macadamia and broccoli ($29) - and an Arugula and parmesan salad ($12) to share amongst five adults.

To this we added a small plate of Cetara anchovies ($8) to mop up with the pizza crust, garlic cream dill ($3) and some complimentary chilli oil.

Where to begin? There was nothing on this groaning table of food that was less than delicious, and there were no complaints from the grandies spreading the kids’ selections all over their faces at the other Trevor-free end.

For Trev, the standout dishes were the arugula salad, the pepperoni pizza (predictably) and the tinned anchovies liberally sprinkled with chilli oil and mopped up with thick pizza crust.

If you’re a kid, or a kid at heart, this was heaven on a stick. And let’s not forget the excellent vino, which of course we didn’t.

The verdict: If you don’t go silly on the wine – and to be honest, it’s hard not to – then this is good value, family-friendly fine dining in a pleasant space with excellent and friendly

Books sold for a cause

By Margaret Maccoll Tens of thousands of books were donated to Rotary Noosa Daybreak and sold over the weekend at the club’s annual book fest.

Spokesman Richard Marsh said money from the event which generally raises upwards of $30,000 would be put toward a scholarship for University of Sunshine Coast PhD student Grace Forsyth for her research into the use of oral ketamine to treat people with PTSD. With the event unable to be held in 2020 book donations built with an astounding 18 pallets each containing 48 boxes of books delivered to Noosa Leisure Centre, to be joined with others dropped off for the book sale.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Wishing for rain to stop Well here we are, another month gone and we now find ourselves enjoying great potential if only the rain and winds would stop. May and June will see a period of time where the last of the summer pelagic fish are still about but will soon be off to warmer waters. The start of the winter fish will become apparent with snapper starting to get larger and closer to the inshore reefs rather than the deep reef out wide like The Hards and The Banks.

With the bad weather this week offshore was on hold. When the swell drops you need to not only be focused on surface and subsurface feeding fish but deep down on the bottom. Most anglers will drop baits this time of year while on anchor. Nothing beats the versatility of an electric motor. Rather than holding ground you can control your drift with pin point precision to best fish an area holding fish so be sure to check them out in store. Flicking soft plastics for snapper or jigging and even unweighted baits all do very well on Sunshine Reef while drifting as the bottom has some great structure. The Shimano Baku jigs are going to clean up this year on the snapper and pearl perch as they can be fished in hard currents and deeper water like North Reef. This is due to their compact heavy head which gets down fast and the legs which create a lot of interest. Be sure to keep rods in hands and not in rod holders as bites can come thick and fast.

Surf fishing has also been on pause this last week as the winds have mainly come from the south east. Those in the know fished the various headlands and with the correct tide anglers reported smaller mackerel and tuna on the catch list. These fish taking slugs and overweighted jerk shad style plastics cast out 80-100m+. Be sure when you rock fish to do it in pairs for safety and carry a landing gaff. If wanting to get started in rock fishing for bigger fish the prevail range of rods from Penn have you covered. Pair these up with a slammer for a well-balanced combo more than capable of stopping a big tuna.

With the river starting to run clear the fish were improving with flathead, small diamond trevally, undersize jewfish, bream, whiting and the occasional mangrove jack featuring.

With the heavy rain things will change and as such efforts should be around the lower estuary. The reason for this are due to the salinity content changing and with additional water coming downstream this pushes baitfish, mullet and prawns out to sea and the fish will follow the food. If you are a soft plastic angler the Atomic Plazo prong will be a great choice. This plastic is heavily scented and has a lot of moving parts which a lot of fish love. Fish these on light jigheads and let them drift in the current so they look natural. Ask us how to tie a loop knot if you aren’t using one. Bait anglers will do well with oily fresh mullet and small herring which we also have in store. Try to fish around

Maria Rothenborg boated a couple of colourful coral trout (her first ever) at Sunshine Reef. any points or areas where currents aren’t very strong. Noosa Sound is one such area when the winds blow hard from the south east because it is protected. If you are looking for live beach worm we have these and nothing beats this as bait for whiting and bream. Try around the Gympie Terrace, Munna Point and the dog beach for both whiting and bream.

Freshwater continues to prove a game of patience and searching around for bass anglers. These fish aren’t in big schools in Lake Mac but it pays to nose into bays and work the edges especially as it is now spilling at 103% capacity. If on the troll you will certainly find smaller mid 30cm sized fish and smaller hard bodies around 70mm in length are a great start. Look at the Zerek Tango shad for a consistent performer that won’t break the bank.

Borumba hasn’t changed its level and it remains at 82% so as always extreme care has to be taken in the timber and it pays to play it safe and navigate with an electric motor. In the main basin there are schools of smaller bass and these can be jigged or vibed up. An older often overlooked lure is the Ecogear ZX blade.

This once hugely popular lure has dropped off the radar in recent times but still proves to be a great bass lure due to the huge vibration it emits. Cast this out and slow wind it back es-

A fishing comp for women

By Margaret Maccoll It’s time women took charge of the rods and reels and started fishing, according to keen angler Nicole Robinson who has organised the 2021 Women’s Fishing Classic to encourage them to get going.

“Over the past few years, I have noticed that women in fishing are still a small minority. Only about 10 per cent of the Australian fishing industry market is female, according to recent Censor data.

It’s still a very male dominant sport,“ she said.

After entering a few local fishing competitions, dealing with local tackle shops, buying fishing magazines and speaking to fellow female anglers Nicole discovered a number of women felt very intimidated when fishing.

So for the past year she has tried to encourage more women to give it a go, learn more about fishing and connect with other female fishes.“This is how the 2021 Women’s Fishing Classic has come about,“ she said.

Being held during the month of July this new fishing competition is for every type of recreational female angler whether they are fishing on the shore, in a kayak or boat, in fresh or salt water.

Get in quick because entries have been caped at 60 seniors and 10 juniors.

Registration is $50, the first 35 entries receive a brag mat for free, each junior who enters receives a gift valued at $200 and there are $12,000 in prizes up for grabs for a range of categories including fish of the week, most fish entered and best photo.

Competitors can fish from Double Island Point to the Caboolture River, up to 70km out to sea and inland lakes within the boundary map.

A competition briefing will be held on Saturday 3 July at 4pm at the Tewantin Marina before the competition kicks off at 6am on Sunday 4 July. Fishing stops at 12pm on Saturday 31 July with an award presentation at the marina on Sunday 1 August.

Women can enter the competition by joining the women’s fishing classic 2021 Facebook page.

Noosa teenager Alissa Dinnage has won two national equestrian championships.

Noosa girl wins two national titles

By Abbey Cannan Horses have been her life ever since she was born, and now this Noosa teenager has won two national equestrian championships.

Tewantin local Alissa Dinnage grew up travelling to shows with her mum, and her recent trip to Tamworth was the place where all her hard work paid off.

When they announced her name as the winner, Alissa said her jaw dropped.

“Although I have had many reserve nationals and state titles, these wins would have to be the most special ones as its taken me and Roanie a long time to get where we are now,“ she said.

“I felt so proud. It was such an amazing feeling to know all the hard work I had done fell

into place. It was such an incredible feeling.“ Her showing career in the Australian Quarter Horse Association began from an early age and her passion only continues to grow.

“Growing up I would watch all of my mums classes and wait my turn to do my lead line class,“ she said.

“I am very passionate about what I do as I love the rewarding feeling when all the hard work you have done falls into place.

“Horses have been my life ever since I was born and will continue to be for the rest of my life.“ Alissa said her future goals would be to compete at the high level shows over in America.

“Although it will take me a while to get there

I am determined to do everything I can to make my dreams come true,“ she said.

“I would also like to compete at the youth world cup before my youth years end.“ Although she has worked hard for her accomplishments, Alissa said a lot of people have helped her along the journey.

“I would like to thank you Mum and Dad who have supported me throughout the years,“ she said.

“Also my amazing trainers Natasha and Travis Humphries who have helped me get to where I am today. I would not have been able to do it without you.

“Last but not least to my amazing Roanie pony who always gives it 110 per cent no matter what.“

Good golf secrets

By Peter Owen BRIAN Jackson, a five-handicapper at Noosa, took one look at his friend Alan Meredith’s swing and told him why he had been playing so poorly.

“You’re hitting with only your arms,” he said. “You need to turn your shoulders and rotate your body.”

That’s sound advice, of course, but sometimes a 75-year-old body just isn’t prepared to do what’s right.

But Alan, who’s been playing golf since he was 19 and has been a Noosa member for more than 30 years, gave it a try.

He took a club out to his own ‘driving range’ – he lives on acreage at Doonan – and put his mate’s advice to the test. It seemed to work, but you never really know until you play under the stress of competitive golf.

Alan did that last week in Noosa’s Saturday stableford event, before the rain came.

Playing off a handicap of 15 – generous by his standards – he hit the ball long and straight, was on 10 greens in regulation, and chipped and putted with renewed confidence.

He shot 79, which equated to 44 stableford points – easily good enough to win the day’s B grade competition.

He lost two shots from his handicap, but Alan doesn’t mind. He’s just happy to be finally playing good golf again.

“I don’t always listen to Brian,” he confessed. “He’s got a really good swing and I’ve got an ‘Alan Meredith’ swing. Things that work for him don’t necessarily work for me. But I’m glad I paid attention this time.”

Alan was 19 and living in Sydney when he took up the game, encouraged by his brother Ernie, who was a member at Dunheved in suburban St Mary’s.

Tired of the Sydney lifestyle, Alan moved to Noosa in 1988. “My wife and I had been holidaying there for years, loved it, and thought it was the right place to be,” he said.

Alan owned the IGA supermarket at Pomona for 16 years before retiring.

These days his interests include golf – he plays Saturdays and with the Vets on Wednesdays – and his family. His three children live locally and he enjoys watching his grandchildren grow.

Easy at Cooroy if you’re a Peter If your name was Peter, you were certainly at an advantage in last Wednesday’s Veterans stroke competition at Cooroy.

Peter Brown had the round of the day – an outstanding nett 64 to take the A grade category. Peter Kennedy was third. He also won the Kev Tonkin best gross score with 72, and picked up a Nearest the Pin prize on the 12th hole.

Peter Crosby won a ball in the rundown and had two NTP prizes, while Peter Buchbach was also in the rundown.

Vets secretary Rod Booth said the Veterans comp was now the most popular fixture on Cooroy’s weekly schedule.

“It’s very competitive,” he said, “but the players really enjoy the fun and camaraderie of the day.”

Rod said almost every weekly event was now sponsored by members, or groups of members.

“We checked the other day, and the sponsorship from members amounted to about $5500 last year,” he said. “That’s allowed us to offer good prizes, and regularly put on free sausage sizzles, and free hamburgers and drinks.”

Rain doesn’t deter Ben As the rain poured last weekend, Noosa Springs’ Ben Kearney and his intrepid mates glanced at the sky, noticed a slight lightening of the cloud cover, and decided to chance it and play their usual Saturday competition round.

He’s glad he did.

Ben dodged most of the showers to go around in 87, sign for a nett 75, and win a 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 May, 2021

Getting a grip on that slice TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER

Alan Meredith in his backyard paddock, where he found the secret to swinging smoothly. stroke competition that comprised a modest field of just six players.

“The conditions weren’t that bad at all,” said Ben, who has been a Noosa Springs member since relocating from Adelaide last year.

“There was some rain, but nothing too much.”

The weekend deluge closed many Sunshine Coast courses, and even those that remained open cancelled their scheduled competitions.

“It was fun,” Ben said. “I would have been kicking myself if I’d stayed home.”

Girls flock to golf If the object of the exercise was to get more girls to play the game – as it obviously was – then it was certainly a case of ‘mission accomplished’.

The number of Golf Australia’s MyGolf Girls programs across the country increased by 34.2% during April, and total registrations in MyGolf Girls programs increased by 25.4% in the same period.

The huge increases came off the back of MyGolf Girls Month, which ran throughout April to encourage more girls to take up the game.

But, more critically, the rise in participation reflects the growing appetite for golf among Aussie girls.

“We know that girls involved in golf in their early years go on to be lifelong participants of the game,” said Emma Phillips, Golf Australia’s junior product manager.

The push to get more girls playing golf does not end with MyGolf Girls month, with local programs ongoing.

One such program is based at Noosa Golf Club, where teaching pro Jimmy Douris conducts clinics for kids aged from six to 12 each Wednesday from 3.40pm to 4.10pm.

The weekly classes continue until June 23, and some spots are still available. Contact Jimmy (0420 975 546, jimmydouris@gmail. com) for details. The classes are free, but participants must be junior or cadet members of the club. Cadet membership is less than $50 per year.

Noosa has also scheduled a six and ninehole tournament for young golfers from 3pm this Sunday.

Junior pennant kicks off next weekend TEAMS from Noosa, Noosa Springs and Maroochy River dominate this year’s junior pennant competition which begins at Mt Coolum

on Sunday, May 16.

Noosa, which has developed a number of outstanding juniors over the past decade, will field two teams, as will Noosa Springs.

Maroochy River will be represented by four teams.

Headland and Caloundra will each have one team in the competition which, for the first time, will be conducted independently of the senior pennants season.

This year’s junior final will be played at Gympie on June 27 – one week after competition begins in A grade, B grade and Masters divisions.

Noosa Springs Skins this month It comes along four times a year and is always one of the most popular dates on the Sunshine Coast golf calendar. The second of this year’s Noosa Springs Skins series is on Wednesday, May 26, with golfers competing for 72 bottles of premium wine.

Four bottles go to the team that provides the best combined stableford points score on each hole. Like any skins format, if a hole is halved the prize jackpots to the next hole.

As well, one lucky player will win a $1500 advertising package from Southern Cross Austereo, and if you find the hole with your tee shot on the par-three fourth, you will win corporate membership to Noosa Springs, valued at $2250.

Visitors pay $85 ($39 for members and $75 for Hope Island, social and reciprocal members), and that includes lunch and post-game nibbles. It’s a 12 noon shotgun start. Book by calling 5440 3325, or email golf@noosasprings. com.au.

Slow start to Katherine’s year Katherine Kirk birdied the 18th hole for a final round par 72 and a 72-hole total of 285 in the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore at the weekend.

She finished 28th – 14 strokes behind the winner, Hyo Joo Kim of South Korea, who sealed her win with a final round eight-underpar 64.

After a slow start to the season, the Sunshine Beach golfer is currently 103rd in tour standings.

Fellow Australian, Hannah Green, had the tournament at her mercy with two holes to play but bogeyed the final two holes to miss out by a single stroke.

It’s no secret that most golfers have a slice problem and a lot of the time that slice can be simply attributed to a poor grip and not necessarily the golf swing.

Quite often slicers have their two hands turned on the handle too far towards the hole, which is known as a weak grip.

A weak grip delivers an open clubface to the ball at impact. Golfers are sometimes mislead by the arrows or lines on their handles when placing their hands on the club. Those arrows or lines are often there for cosmetic reasons or for ease of installation.

With a slicer’s grip, at the address position, golfers will see no knuckles on the outside of the top hand and then two on the outside of the bottom hand.

Ideally to influence a draw it should be the opposite, where the two hands will turn away from the hole. It may feel strange at first as the club face will feel closed at address but, trust me. it’s worth persisting.

The correct grip should never be underestimated as many other problems can be corrected at the same time. It’s the only contact you have with the golf club, so it’s vital that your hands connect with the club correctly.

Good golfing.

Dolphins are on the move For the Ray White Noosa Dolphins, it is certainly busy times. Following on to their weekend of tribute to sponsors and their female committee members, plus games against the visiting Caloundra Club, this last weekend saw two teams continue to uphold their reputation as a Rugby Union team, that is definitely doing things in a very positive way.

According to club President Donald McKill it could not be better. ‘’We had two teams in action with one team, our reserve grade away in Gympie at Albert Park. For this round 5 fixture, we took a full squad of 23 players and came home winners 50-15. A good pack of front rower forwards made it possible for the back line to open the game which resulted in some 8 tries.’’

Players then showed true Dolphin spirit, by hitting the highway back home. On arrival they supported their A Grade who were in the process of fronting a very spirited Wynnum Bugs outfit: a team, who were running hot, following a good win the previous weekend. With those results still fresh in mind they quickly moved off to a 6-0 lead. With Noosa having many changes in their line up, they took time to settle, but eventually, by spreading the ball wide they quickly regained their momentum: this saw them holding a half-time 29-15 lead.

After the break, the Noosa forwards continued with some good set piece work, thus enabling the backs to find holes in the Bugs defence. This resulted a 50-25 lead at full time. “Our Colts and Women’s teams were well represented up in Cains,for the Queensland

Dolphins in action.

Country Championships, with15 players making the trip North. Both Women’s and U/19 South East Queensland teams performed well.

This week all Noosa Teams will be in action at University Sippy Downs for the finals match in rounds 1 of the competition.”

For those lovers of the history of Rugby League, the last weekend Rugby matches played on Albert Park in Gympie, would have many of the old Gympie Rugby League players turning in their grave. This beautiful park,

was once the headquarters of Gympie Rugby League. As such it was supported by four major clubs, Wanders, Past Brothers, Northern Suburbs and Kilkivan: and as such the district became the feeder clubs for the Redcliffe Dolphins.

It was this club, that in 1965 won the very powerful Brisbane Rugby League Premiership.

On that occasion, the Redcliffe five- eight was John Treeby, a former Gympie Past Brothers player and member of the Noosa Heads SLSC.

Standing outside Treeby in the centres, was a young player on his way up and his name, was Artie Beatson. Also, on that day the former Kilkivan lock Col Weier, played lock for Redcliffe. The Albert Park also played host to several Internationals games which, in front of capacity crowds, saw the Wide Bay District rep teams play, the touring England and French teams. Such is life.

For the Noosa Pirates Rugby League, last weekend they had a bye. This coming weekend will see them playing away games, when they come up against the Stanley Rivers teams on their home grounds: games will be played in both the A grade and Reserve. We wish them well.

Following what has been one of the most successful seasons in surf boat racing history for the Noosa Surf club, they will, on May 23rd and June 6th throw out an invitation to new boys and girls interested in rowing. The annual, Come and Try Days, will once again be held front of the Noosa Club: don’t hold back, it’s a great traditional team sport. Started in Noosa in 1949, the club is now rated one of the strongest in Australia.

Last weekend saw the end of yet another season of weekend patrols by our volunteer lifesavers. Happy to announce, that all three local clubs Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach and Peregian have upheld the tradition of no lives lost between the flags. Well done to all involved. The weekend patrols will once again be under the control of the Noosa Shire Lifeguards.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Lucy Small shows her style.

Surf girls taking a stand By now longboarder Lucy Small’s courageous calling out of the Curly Mal Jam event for gender inequality has become the stuff of legend, as it should.

A forthright and eloquent spokesperson for women’s surfing, who also happens to be one hell of a longboarder, Lucy used the winner’s dais at Curl Curl on the Anzac weekend to protest the fact that she received $1500 prize money while the men’s pro winner received $4000. Two years since the governing body of pro surfing, the World Surf League, introduced equal purses, and in a year that a documentary about the battle of women to be taken seriously in surfing, Girls Can’t Surf, has been making waves around the country, this was bound to go viral, and it did.

Even the Sydney Morning Herald weighed in: “We are just so sick of this happening,” (Lucy) said. “I am just really tired of putting in so much time and effort and money and investing so much into going to these events ... and getting less than half the reward.”

Although Lucy’s stand at the presentations was what grabbed the headlines, she certainly didn’t lack for support amongst the women competitors. Noosa’s Kirra Molnar, who finished second and pocketed a princely $750, kept her own counsel on the day but later wrote diplomatically to organiser Phil Nicol: “I understand that Curly can be a heavy break and so maybe you have fewer females competing, and have never had this issue in the past, or even thought of it before. This is why I believe it’s so important to bring it up now and help promote change, not just for Curly Longboard Club but throughout the surfing industry and for those that don’t even realise the issue.

“In saying this, I just want to let you know … that it is not my intention to bombard you … but support you in making it better … so the next generation of female surfers have equal opportunity.”

There are really no excuses any more for contests to divide the cake unequally, but it still happens, and it comes from a long history within the surfing culture – particularly in longboarding, where sponsorship dollars are harder to come by and event management tends to be still dominated by ageing baby boomers – of women being treated as second 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 May, 2021

The Myths get ready for today’s set at Civic. class citizens. The upcoming Noosa Festival of Surfing will offer equal prize money, but many smaller events are dragging the chain, citing the odd idea that equality will cost too much and drive sponsors away.

It’s already been proven that the opposite happens. The girls aren’t asking for more, just equality. And when the corporate sector sees events embracing this new ethos, they will back it.

So we are slowly getting the message, but it has taken a long time. When I ran the Noosa Festival of Surfing over a couple of decades not once did we pay the women as much as the men. There were all kinds of justifications for this, such as there are fewer women competitors than men so therefore fewer entry fees to throw at the purse, we got more sponsorship for the men’s events than the women’s, and the the elephant in the boardroom –girls can’t surf as well as men.

Well, if this last was ever true, it certainly hasn’t been for a long time. In all levels and forms of competitive surfing today, we see

women performing brilliantly, but in traditional longboarding, you could even argue that they are more poised, more elegant, and a bigger drawcard than the men. As WSL longboard star Matt Chojnacki told Tracks magazine: “Of all the genres of surfing, longboarding is perhaps the most equal for both genders – it’s more of an artistic expression and women tend to be incredibly talented at it.”

By the end of last week, I felt sorry for the MalJam’s Phil Nicol, who’d been hounded by the media and had to carry the can for the club while personally feeling quite contrite. But nothing was done to rectify the situation until the altruistic Mark Kelly, CEO of surfboard distributor Global Surf Industries – a longtime supporter and former major sponsor of the Noosa Festival – coughed up $4850 to put things right.

Kel told Tracks: “I thought the days of women being paid less were over, to be honest. The World Surf League went to equal pay in 2019.

There are a lot of women’s brands steering the

surf industry.” He later put it in a nutshell for the SMH: “I did this for two reasons. Firstly it was a very brave move by Lucy to speak up, and secondly, it was great to see the Curly club own the issue and say they would change from next year.”

This is not the first time Kel has led from the front, and backed it with his cheque book. Let’s hope it inspires all surfing events to catch up with the times.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Tigers have high hopes

By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers came home with a wet sail but were still unable to open their QAFL account as the Sherwood Magpies prevailed by just under 4 goals. After 65 mm of rain hitting the resort town of Noosa the previous 24 hours and two games of footy being played prior to the main game, the ground at Weyba Rd was heavy to say the least . But a poor first stanza by the home side in the slippery and muddy conditions certainly didn’t help their cause.

Poor skill errors by foot again plagued the local boys whilst their opponents were much steadier and precise with their finishing skills to jump to a four goal lead. The game ebbed and flowed closely around that margin for most of the afternoon before the Tigers came home with a wet sail thanks mainly to the efforts of key forward Aaron Wilson and pint sized wingman Will O’Dwyer who both bagged two goals to bring the margin to 8 points. Unfortunately for the Tiger supporters present, the Magpies were able to steady kicking the final 2 goals to run out deserving winners.

Noosa coach Adam Bovalino saying’ “We just have to get far better when we don’t have the ball.” Our defensive pressure is just non existent so we are allowing our opposition to use the ball well. That part of our game just has to improve. I mean every game we have played for the most part we can move the ball every bit as a good as them. We are having moments or should I say little wins throughout games and we just need to turn them into bigger wins. Our character as a group will come through I have no doubt starting with our first Gold Coast trip to Surfers Paradise this weekend’ For the Tigers, Riley Buntain was just exceptional once again easily the Tigers best player

Wet and slippery game as Tigers take on the Magpies. and his first month of 2021 has been awesome.

Warrnambool recruit Ben Fleming loved the Victorian like conditions to gather plenty of the footy whilst once again Ben Guthrie and Aaron Laskey stood tall in defence and on ball respectively. The Noosa Tigers tackle Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast this Saturday with the main game starting at 1 pm.

The Mischief Hair women had a thrilling 1 point victory over the Ipswich Eagles in Ipswich las Saturday night. Against much bigger bodied opponents the Noosa girls finally got into gear in the final quarter to produce the type of running footy coach Graeme Burgen was looking for. Keirra Massoud was great for the victors with a very solid four quarter performance whilst Co skipper Cassy Young and youngster Sari Abbott were outstanding also, Gallio and Kendrick also amongst the best in a very enjoyable trip. Special mention to 16 year old Chloe Pitts who made her senior women’s

debut and did everything asked of her!

And speaking of debuts ,a massive congratulations to gun Noosa midfielder Jai Fitzpatrick who made his VFL debut for Aspley against Frankston. Jai has been a star for the Tigers over many years and whilst has a stack of individual awards was a prime reason why Noosa were able to secure back to back premiership wins in 2019 and 2020. Great stuff Fitzy!

A big thank you to all who organised and attended our first Presidents Lunch last weekend with champion Footscray footballer and larrikin Doug Hawkins not letting anyone down with a typically entertaining show.

A substantial four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool, separate guest accommodation plus stables, shed and dam on 8.4730ha at 142 Mary River Rd, Cooroy, is for sale by auction at 9am on Saturday, May 22. 235868

A four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront house with pool and jetty at 83 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, is set for auction on Friday, May 7, at midday. 235868

The beach house is certainly faded, however for an investor looking to reimagine a beachside weekender or a developer seeking a medium density site, five minutes to the sand, with potentially stunning Coral Sea and coastal views, this is it. An auction Saturday, May 8, 11am View Saturday 11-11.30 and Wednesday 2-2.30pm.

It needs renovation or restoration, Rebekah said, but quite a lot are looking at it from that angle.

Another angle is to use it as a site for a rebuild or take advantage of it being zoned for a duplex.

As a beach house it is protected from the breezes, has a northerly aspect and no roads to cross to get to the beach.

“Saturday will be interesting,’’ Rebekah said. “It has wide-ranging appeal.

“Interest has been from interstate, a lot of Brisbane people looking at it as a weekender, and local interest that has long admired the property.’’

Poole was a pioneer of what was considered Noosa-style architecture.

Elevated on the side of a gully and striking in its simplicity, the classic family beach house and artist space features a

Robyn said. “We’re very happy with the inquiry level and pretty excited about the auction.

“With seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, office, formal lounge, expansive living/ dining and two kitchens, it has the opportunity to be run as a bed-andbreakfast.

“The gardens are gorgeous with a northfacing European-style courtyard with water fountain, swimming pool and pavilion.’’

Early interest has been from Sydney, Melbourne and local.

And it’s been from all corners - as an investment, to live in it, and to do as a bedand-breakfast.

With interiors by Di Challinor, the homestead is divided into two wings – the main residence comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms, study/fourth bedroom, formal lounge, open plan living/dining, and high-end kitchen. All rooms apart from study open out to the wrap-around veranda.

The guest wing comprises a fully selfcontained manager’s living quarters with living, kitchen, bedroom bathroom and private patio; in addition, there are three ensuited bedrooms and a living room with kitchenette – all opening out to patio.

private timber deck which ’spills’ over the garden and reserve below.

The pole home, a timber version of a quadropod, allows maximum light indoors.

Poole applied many other trademarks including shutters and louvres to guarantee cross ventilation between the living areas and the three bedrooms. The simple polished chipboard floors have stood the test of time and add to the overall character.

Zoned medium density, the property abuts a dedicated pathway to the beach.

ONE OF COOROY’S FINEST It’s one of Cooroy’s finest homes and is being offered for just the second time since it was built in the early 2000s by Robert Fraser.

The classic Australian homestead by Garth Chapman Traditional Queenslanders at 142 Mary River Rd, Cooroy, is to go to auction on Saturday, May 22, at 9am.

Marketed by Robyn Kildey and Eliot Krause of Countryside Realty Noosa, the property features a dam, stables and shed, right on the outskirts of town.

LUXURY AND PRIVACY A four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront house with pool and jetty at 83 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, is set for auction today, Friday, at midday.

Jill Goode of Tom Offermann Real Estate said it offered exceptional luxury and privacy with fragrant, low maintenance feature gardens.

With 20m water frontage and jetty, the property enjoys expansive views.

“It’s gorgeous,’’ Jill said. “There has been so much interest.

“I’ve been there every day for inspections, and had offers already.

“All on one level, it is north facing and the living area overlooks the water.

“The house is nice, white and immaculate.’’

Jill is getting interest from local as well as outside the area.

The house features spectacular gallerylike, lofty-ceilinged living and alfresco entertaining options.

A purpose-built office with floor-to-ceiling bookcases has a direct connection to the living space and beyond.

Entertaining options are numerous when indoors extends in a seamless way to outdoors, and the expansive deep waterway.

ACTIVITY ON ANN STREET Two streets back from Gympie Tce and Noosa River, Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents is taking three original ’70s units to auction on Thursday, May 13.

The three separate-titled two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car units are on 585sq m at 1, 2 and 3/16 Ann St, Noosaville.

The auction will be held in-rooms at Heads of Noosa Brewery, 85 Rene St, Noosaville, at 11am.

Nathan has registered interest already in the property, that will be offered all in one line.

With a 14.4m frontage and zoned medium density, he said it would suit a rebuild as a two-storey duplex block.

“It needs some work as it is as original as the day it was built.

“One of the tenants has been there more than 20 years, which is a testament to the location.’’

AUCTION HIGHS CONTINUE The outstanding auction clearance rate for 2021 continued in May for Tom Offermann

235388

Real Estate, with 88 percent sold under the hammer, while in the main, unsold properties were sold post auction.

Bidder numbers were consistently high, typically five to 10 per property, showing the depth of buyer interest and a shortage of available properties.

Activity was across all sectors, from holiday investment homes and apartments, private residences, also commercial with the famous Reef Hotel in Noosa Drive sold last week at auction by Brisbane’s JLL Retail Investments.

Locally, auction action started on Friday when the Luke Chen and Roark Walshlisted Sun Lagoon penthouse apartment 26/1 Quamby Place Noosa Heads, was sold under the hammer for $1.51m.

The short campaign resulted in plenty of interest and three registered bidders, with the successful buyer flying from interstate the previous week for an inspection.

On Saturday at 209 Valley Drive, Doonan, which adjoins the Noosa Valley Golf and Country Club, there was a 60plus gathering of mainly Noosa Valley locals, keen to get a benchmark figure for their property’s current worth. The

textbook auction campaign run by Mal Cox attracted six registered bidders, including three by phone.

As the heavens opened, the house, with its massive covered decks proved how well it was designed for the Queensland climate, whatever the weather. Emotions ran high as the bidding edged higher with the eventual winners overjoyed when the hammer fell at $1.905m, sparking a roar of applause.

Offermann agents are now on the search for the five cashed-up buyers who missed out. Interestingly there were offers prior, however the preference is for all auctions to proceed, as it ultimately produces the best result for the vendor.

ON THE COVER

CASTAWAYS POINT COMMANDING the most spectacular presence on the absolute widest beach frontage of Noosa’s eastern seaboard, with explosive views of the Coral Sea, Sunshine Beach and beyond Coolum Beach, is almost a hectare of truly rare and muchcoveted land. Owned by the Flynn family since 1977.

The perception of island life springs to mind. The closest beachfront properties are 2kms on the south side, and .5km to the north, while in the secluded front row is the ultimate prize, a potentially private beach estate of dazzling white sand the length of two football fields.

It is easy to imagine the ultimate beach house, an immeasurable masterpiece of global standard architecture set in an exclusive estate, which indulges every possible personal extravagance, need, whim and necessity, with aesthetic excellence throughout.

Remarkably sequestered, it promises a secure haven totally out-of-sight from neighbours and beach-walkers, yet from the grounds or interiors, the views would be intimate and unrivalled.

Located in Australia’s favourite holiday destination, and 5kms from sophisticated Hastings Street with its bevy of boutiques, art galleries, bars, and beachside restaurants, “this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on an international level,” explain Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart and principal Tom Offermann. “It’s highly unlikely any amount of money could buy this in the future, because rare estates become generational assets. It takes little imagination to picture this being developed into one of Australia’s

most desirable private beachfront estates.”

Slated for auction on Saturday, 15 May, 2021, the site currently has a modest 2-bedroom cottage; a second is uninhabitable; Noosa Shire Council zoning is low density residential; and there is preliminary sub-division approval for two super allotments.

If the seller’s reserve is not met as a single parcel, the 2 proposed super lots will be immediately auctioned separately and the seller will complete the sub-division prior to handover. ●

BELLE ON THE HILL WITH ROOFTOP VIEWS SEEMINGLY perched above the trees, enjoying sundowners or a romantic twilight dinner on the rooftop terrace, watching the last vestiges of a brilliant pink-orange sunset fade into the Noosa River waterways, Lake Weyba, and beyond to Mt Cooroy in the hinterland, is truly unforgettable. Similarly, the endless summers from your prized address, just 5-minutes to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach.

The belle on the hill is a chic penthousestyle apartment, with an on-trend grey palette including the lime-washed flooring.

Natural light drenches the main living area which opens out to an extra-large covered balcony. It stretches the width of the apartment on the north-westerly side and is also accessed from the carpeted master bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite.

The balcony on the north-easterly side is the width of the dining area plus the second bedroom which has built-in robes, is close to the family-size bathroom, and next to the laundry.

The U-shaped kitchen has a breakfast bar plus all the necessities to rustle up a casual lunch or create dinner for friends.

To really appreciate those stupendous views of the waterways and hinterland, why

GATSBY-SIZED HINTERLAND MANOR ‘NOOSA Trail Estate’ is arguably one of the Noosa Hinterland’s most impressive properties; this 800-square stately residence, tucked away on a magnificent 21-acre parcel of land boasts absolute privacy in a glorious verdant setting with a north facing European-style courtyard grand enough to host a Gatsby-sized gathering with impeccable style and panache; this is truly ‘next level’ in every sense.

The residence itself is Garth Chapman built with interiors by Di Challinor; and exudes all the grace and elegance of a period-home from the turn of the 20th century, but with all the modern comforts of the 21st century. The leafy tree-lined driveway sets the tone, indicating that something special awaits, and indeed it does; inside and out, ‘Noosa Trail Estate’ has breathtaking aesthetic appeal in its grandeur, classic interior, and resplendent surrounds.

Divided into two wings - the main residence comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms, study/fourth bedroom, formal lounge, open plan living/dining, and highend kitchen, all rooms (apart from study) open out to the wraparound verandah.

The guest wing comprises a fully selfcontained manager’s living quarters with living, kitchen, bedroom bathroom and private patio; in addition, there are three ensuited bedrooms and a living room with kitchenette - all opening out to patio.

No expense has been spared in build

or fit-out, and some of the feature of note include stunning hardwood spotted gum parquetry flooring, 10-foot ceilings, romantic claw foot bath, cedar framed double hung windows and French doors, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning plus split systems, 3-phase power, commercial grade solar, old-world Victorian water fountain - a striking centrepiece of the courtyard, inground pool, and fully powered summer pavilion.

Infrastructure on the property includes a new irrigation system, 136,000 litre water tank, biocycle septic system, three stables, and a huge machinery shed with cold room, 2 x workshop areas, second laundry, bathroom, and mezzanine (suitable for workers accommodation), plus fencing and electronic gated entry.

As sumptuous as the residence is, the

surrounds are equally as splendid; with an eye-catching paulownia plantation on the eastern side, an 80-feet dam, masses of grassy expanse, and lush forest home to an abundance of wildlife from kangaroos, platypus in Six Mile Creek, through to the 340 species of birds that also call this magical haven ‘home’.

The property is suitable for horses, with flat paddock space, and three stables; even better, the Noosa Trail Network is literally at the front gate, you can just ride there in seconds - forget transporting on horse floats, it’s next door! How amazing…

All this splendour, seclusion, and inimitable class is only three-minutes from the charming township of Cooroy…yes, that’s right you can be enjoying a freshly brewed espresso at one of the boutique cafes in town within five minutes of your front gate. Noosa is a 20-minute drive, Sunshine Coast Airport 30 minutes, and access to the M1 to Brisbane is quick and easy.

‘Noosa Trail Estate’ is a one-of-a-kind property that is an absolute showstopper; buyers in the prestige acreage market will not find a property of this calibre on a parcel of land of this quality so close to town amenities.

This is one of the finest properties ever offered to market in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Contact Agent for Information Memorandum and full list of features and inclusions.

CHARACTER AND COMFORT IT can be tricky to balance the charm of a bygone era with the comforts of modern life, but this stunning property with magical mountain views does it perfectly. Set on approximately seven elevated acres, the home has been positioned to optimise the outlook to Mount Pinbarren and features traditional characteristics including ornate fretwork, soaring exposed beam ceilings, and shady verandahs where you can spend lazy days relishing the ever-changing views (including spectacular sunsets), fresh air and sounds of nature.

And you won’t have to sacrifice contemporary style or comfort, with features like air-conditioning, premium quality appliances, cost-effective LED lighting, practical hybrid spotted gum flooring, and gorgeous Italian tiles in the bathrooms and toilets. The entry level is centred around an open plan living area, which incorporates a bespoke country-style kitchen. Entertaining family and friends will be a sensory delight here, with leather-look Brazilian granite benchtops, top of the range Miele and AEG appliances, a brand-new digital oven, Blum

soft-close cupboards and drawers, and an English-made 1901 butler’s sink.

With a wide servery window to the covered outdoor entertaining space, the kitchen is designed to take advantage of the mountain views, as is the lovely sunroom.

HOME FOCUS

NORTHERN SUNRISE, BEACHSIDE BLISS! OFFERED to the market for the very first time since being purchased off the plan in 1989, is this light-filled end townhouse, arguably the best located, in the St Sobraon complex, literally footsteps to the sand and surf, so close you not only see the sea with views sweeping north to south, but you can hear the soothing sounds of the waves rolling in…

Across three levels, it comprises two bedrooms each with their own exclusive private balcony showcasing ocean vistas, one bathroom, two toilets, open plan living flowing out to covered balcony with delightful outlook over communal pool, neat functional kitchen (with an ocean view from sink) opening out to expansive fenced north-east facing grassy courtyard, separate laundry, and single lock up garage.

Meticulously cared for and impeccably maintained by its long-term owners who have used as their beloved holiday home; presentation is outstanding. There is potential to update and modernise over time without fear of overcapitalising in this blue-chip location.

Existing features include ceiling fans, security screens, separate shower and bath, dishwasher, good storage, and the supersized grassy courtyard - perfect for BBQs and large enough for pets and young children to play. Body corporate fees are low, and the complex is pet-friendly, subject to approval.

Just 300-metres (approx.) to sand, 650-metres to the iconic Chalet & Co. cafe, and a short walk to Sunshine Beach village hub through nearby Ross Crescent or take a scenic stroll along the beach - the lifestyle on offer is exceptional, and so is the convenience!

Whether in the market for a permanent sea-change or a holiday investment in a stellar beachside location; this is a ‘stand out’ in so many aspects. Inspections will reveal why owners have held on to this absolute gem for so long; be the first to be its second owners, and welcome to St. Sobraon, you are going to LOVE it here.

Featuring: End townhouse in St Sobraon complex 2 bedrooms each with exclusive balcony Open plan living flowing to main balcony Pleasant kitchen with ocean view from sink Ocean views sweep from north to south Huge wraparound grassy courtyard Pet-friendly complex (stbca) of nine Inground pool and communal barbecue area Short stroll to beach, parks, cafes Walk to Duke Street dining Original owners bought off plan in 1989!
