Surf fest’s gutsy return It was as near as it’s been for decades thanks to Covid - to a locals only event, but that didn’t stop two Sydneysiders from grabbing the glittering prizes at the 30th annual Noosa Festival of Surfing. Tully White and Matt Chojnacki, both from Sydney’s northern beaches, won the headline Open Log women’s and men’s divisions, with Tully also taking out the Open Women’s and Matt the prestigious Old Mal. But Noosa and Sunny Coast locals dominated the junior and age divisions and produced some stand-out performances despite some below par surf during the nine-day festival. Continued page 2

Top town crown “This award recognises this. “We also congratulate our neighbouring regions Eumundi and Rainbow Beach who were finalists in the Small Town Awards.” Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the win reinforced the popularity and friendliness of Noosa. “For those of us living here, this award is no real surprise,“ Cr Stewart said. “The win is a tremendous accolade for our tourism operators, local business owners and residents who have battled through COVID. “We have immense pride in our community and I congratulate all those involved in securing the title.” MP Sandy Bolton said, “A hearty congratulations Noosa on being acknowledged for what we all know about our community.“

“Fabulous from coast to country, offering unique and ’instagrammable’ moments every day for visitors with warm hospitality and incredible food. “We are so incredibly proud of all who work within or support our tourism industry, and this award says it all...you and Noosa rock.“ QTIC Chief Executive, Daniel Gschwind, said it was timely to shine a light on the diverse regional destinations Queensland has, especially during the events of COVID. “With international travel restrictions, this is the ideal time to put the spotlight on domestic tourism and draw attention to the fantastic regional destinations our state boasts,” Mr Gschwind said. “For many of our Queensland operators, last year’s events had a serious impact on their

businesses, and these Awards are a reflection of the resilience and resourcefulness of those in the industry. “This year’s entrants showcase the extraordinary dedication and innovation of tourism operators across the state – all of whom are helping the Queensland tourism industry thrive during this time.” Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe congratulated this year’s winners and finalists. “The Top Tourism Towns Awards are a terrific way of recognising the operators and communities who have worked hard to create great visitor experiences,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “Successful tourism towns are overwhelming the communities who have recognised and adapted to changing visitor expectations and are rebuilding better for the future.“

Noosa has been recognised as Queensland’s Top Tourism Town at the Queensland Tourism Industry Council’s Top Tourism Awards. The award from QTIC is a new program with a goal to recognise Queensland’s diverse and outstanding regional destinations. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said that the award was a wonderful acknowledgement of Noosa and how our tourism industry and the local community work together to make Noosa the best destination it can be. “Winning this award is a great privilege not only for our organisation but for our entire community,“ Ms Anderson said. “Noosa has an incredibly strong tourism industry that continues to showcase our region for visitors and locals alike.

Twin fin competitors at Noosa West.

Picture: SURFSHOTS/NFOS

Surf fest success From page 1 New event the GemLife Twin Fin proved to be a huge hit, and lucked out with some of the best waves of the festival last Saturday at Noosa West, giving the star-studded competitor list plenty of opportunity to shine on their pre-1985 shortboards. A cross-over event featuring some of the best shortboarders and longboarders in the country, the retro twin was won by 20-year-old retro wizard Kyuss King. Based in Byron Bay, Kyuss is a true citizen of the world, surfing and skating his way around the planet’s surf capitals for his sponsors, when not held back by Covid. At the other end of the spectrum, seventimes world champ Layne Beachley, 49 this week, raised the flag for both the women and the seniors, with a solid performance in the twinnie, and also featured in several off-beach events, including the Black and White Charity Ball, where she appeared alongside festival special guest Ray Gleave, who won the first Noosa Malibu Classic in 1992, and competed in the open men’s again this year, aged 62. Although he didn’t make the final in that event, Ray competed with distinction in the stand-up paddle, finishing second. The hotly-contested junior divisions enjoyed great conditions at Castaways Beach over the first weekend of the festival, with Noosa Malibu Club’s junior training programs again putting the club on the podium, with great performances by the likes of Mia Waite and the Smales brothers, Kaiden and Landen (see page 6 & 7). For the third year in a row, Huey, the god of surf, failed to produce Noosa’s fabled point waves for the festival, but contest director Tul-

ly St John made some good calls on relocation to milk the best of the conditions on offer, and the competitors were happy to surf the variety of breaks. And the spirit remained high, with huge crowds for the surfing dogs again, and great support for innovations like the temporary skate park in Noosa Woods, and Owen Cavanagh’s spectacular curation of the surf art exhibition at the Sofitel. It might not be remembered as one of the great years for surf, but the 2021 festival will be remembered for its courage in really having a go in the face of pandemic restrictions.

It’s what everyone knew already but has now been made official. Noosa is Queensland’s number one tourist town. Well done Noosa and congratulations to Tourism Noosa for all their hard work in achieving that accolade. Now the big question is how do we keep it the way we like it. Will Noosa’s popularity bring too many tourists and impact the natural environment that makes it so special. It’s a topic long argued in Noosa as the tourist seasons each year bring traffic and parking issues and crowds. I read a study recently on “managing popularity“ of tourism in Iceland. In 2000 a third of visitors were looking for an authentic experience in nature. Tourism grew and a decade later nature wasn’t the main attraction. I think we have a long time before that happens. Noosa is a great place to life. I was reminded of it last week when I attended a citizenship ceremony filled with people choosing to live here. It was an inspiring ceremony and MC, bush poet Ian Mackay did a great job making everyone feel at ease and adding some good Aussie humour. So I thought I’d end with an Aussie joke. I recently decided to apply for Australian citizenship, and I was surprised at some of the questions they asked. Like, they asked if I had ever been convicted of a crime. I had no idea that was still a requirement.

Good sports. Noosa’s Zye Norris and Bowie Pollard enjoy a post-heat hug.

Glossy land swap on offer By Margaret Maccoll

A glossy black cockatoo flying in to feed at the Uniting Church site on Sunday. ment saying: “although UnitingCare supports everyone’s right to peaceful protest, we believe it is necessary to address misinformation and disinformation circulating about the proposed residential aged care home at Sunrise Beach“. The statement continues to say: “There is no evidence to substantiate the claim that the site is “critical habitat” for the Glossy BlackCockatoo. The site is an area which was historically cleared of vegetation and the she-oaks have established as pioneer species in dense plantings, i.e. regrowth. This is not dissimilar to other areas in the immediate locality. As per the (Ecological Management Plan) EMP, a total of 58 she-oak trees will be cleared for the development. Importantly, not all of which are active feed trees for the Glossy Black Cockatoo. Active feed trees occur in the immediate locality beyond the site. There is no basis to suggest the rehabilitation site will be unsuccessful. The she-oak is a fast- growing tree species which will readily establish (as it has done on the development site) on the rehabilitation site (and is already growing in the surrounds). The rehabilitation site will provide nesting, foraging and watering resources for the glossy black cockatoo and other threatened fauna. Active feed trees have been identified within the rehabilitation site. More than 100 potted she- oaks (from the site) are to be planted in the near future at the rehabilitation site, while hundreds more are planned for future planting. The rehabilitation site includes large gums which are potential nesting habitat for the glossy black cockatoo. Nesting habitat is considered a limiting factor for this species. Nest boxes are to be installed in the large trees at the rehabilitation site. A permanent water source will be investigated for the rehabilitation site. There is strong demand for housing designed to cater for Noosa’s growing ageing population and UnitingCare’s Blue Care aged care home at Sunrise Beach will compassionately care for and support ageing members of the Sunshine Coast community long into the future.“

Spencer Hitchen at the Glossy Strike event. However Maxine said the group feared for the survival of the birds if the habitat is lost and believes it could lead to a regional extinction. A study conducted on the development site on the Glossy Black-cockatoo feed tree selection by University of Sunshine Coast Honours student Helen North found the species was particularly at risk due to the limited number of Casuarina and Allocasuarina species on which they feed, which is compounded by their propensity for selecting only specific individual feed trees within patches. In surveying the site trees Ms North concluded that the larger trees were “preferentially foraged, with nutritional profitability as the primary factor governing tree selection”. “Feed tree cones had higher seed number and seed mass, with seeds containing higher levels of fatty acids and nutrients than non-feed tree cones,” she concluded. Under the recently released Queensland Environmental Offset Policy for a land-based offset in relation to a threatened animal, such as the Glossy Black Cockatoo, “under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 - the offset site must contain, or be capable of containing, a self-sustaining population of that same impacted species”.

Local residents including school children attended to voice their concerns about the proposed habitat loss and support its retention. One resident said it didn’t make sense for developers to totally clear a site and then landscape it once construction was completed. “Why don’t they work with the environment that’s here,” she said. Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson attended the protest meeting to show her support, saying what Spencer was doing was very important. “What the community is telling us is the environment has rights and we should be defending them,” she said. “What I’m going to take back to Council is we have to make sure this doesn’t happen again.” USC geographer and local resident Javier Leon also attended, urging people to support the call to save the habitat. “People are not doing this, that’s the problem. We need to fight to the end,” he said. The Uniting Church did not reply when asked if it would consider discussing a land swap with Noosa Council but issued a state-

Noosa Council has agreed to discuss a land swap with the Uniting Church to protect Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat at Sunrise Beach. But the deal rests in the hands of the Church which already has a contract with Lendlease to develop its aged care facility and retirement homes. Last Sunday about a dozen Glossy Black Cockatoos descended on feed trees surrounding the Sunrise Beach Uniting Church, just as the congregation was leaving the morning service, as if to tell them this was also their special place. The glossies most ardent supporters, Glossy Team Sunrise led by 10-year-old Spencer Hitchen and his mother Maxine were there to marvel at them, saying more than 30 of the vulnerable species had recently been seen on the site the church plans to clear to develop a 102-bed residential aged care home and a retirement village. Having now secured more than 43,000 signatures on a petition to support the retention of the habitat Spencer and Maxine last Thursday attended Noosa Council’s Ordinary Meeting to stand up for the rights of the glossies, voice their concerns at the efficacy of a proposed “offset site” and request Council consider a land swap with the Uniting Church between the proposed development site and a suitable Council-owned site. Mayor Clare Stewart responded to their questions saying “yes council would be willing to enter into a discussion with Uniting Church Australia about a land swap if the church wishes to discuss such a proposal with council, however it is council’s understanding that the Church have a contract with Lendlease to develop the individual retirement homes and intend to develop the aged care facility with works to commence upgrading the intersection shortly”. Cr Stewart said there was limited land owned by Council that may be suitable for the development and free of environmental constraints. She said however that rehabilitation of degraded bushland as an offset site required as part of the development approval conditions was expected to lead to positive outcomes for native fauna in the area and included the provision of glossy feed trees in a ratio of eight to every one cleared. She said while the science on the preference by glossy blacks for one tree over another was unclear it was seen as a positive step in providing food trees in the area. Maxine said the proposed offset site which had been planted with glossy feed trees, Casuarina and Allocasuarina, known commonly as she-oaks only 18 months ago could not possibly replicate their habitat as the cockatoos only feed from a select few female mature trees after they have reached 8-10 years of growth. Sunrise Uniting Church congregation members are convinced the offset site will compensate for the habitat loss. “There’s always habitat loss for every development. As long as there’s an offset,” one member said. “We need the nursing home. There has to be a balance.”

Minister urged to step in Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey has announced his department would be installing heavy vehicle advisory signs on Pomona Kin Kin Road after calls from Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton to act on concerns over road user safety. Cr Stewart called on the Main Roads Minister to exercise his legislative powers to restrict the number of Kin Kin Quarry trucks travelling on Pomona Kin Kin Road. She said she had written several letters to Minister Bailey over the past couple of months to act on Kin Kin residents’ safety concerns about quarry trucks using Pomona Kin Kin Road. “This is about preventing an accident or a fatality,” the Mayor said. “Based on the feedback from our community, there is a genuine likelihood of that occurring in the foreseeable future,” she said. “Kin Kin residents are increasingly frightened for the safety of their loved ones, especially their children who regularly have to cross roads used by quarry trucks travelling at significant speed,” she said. Provisions in the Transport Infrastructure Act allow the state to restrict the use of its roads in order to prevent damage to road infrastructure or to ensure the safety of road users. The state can apply temporary restrictions based on vehicle class, time of day and load weight. “We have advised the state government that Pomona Kin Kin Road is not fit for purpose for handling quarry trucks and passing cars, especially buses,” Cr Stewart said. “The school bus shares the same route at the same time as many quarry trucks and we’re hearing reports about the school bus nearly being run off the road, as well as near misses’ involving students on the roadside.” “I call on the Minister to act as legislation allows him to limit the impact of truck movements. Please Minister, act now before there is a fatality rather than acting after a major accident occurs. “Instigating this legislation will help to safeguard against an accident, or even worse - a fatality,” the Mayor said. “We owe it to our community to avoid a

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton foreseeable loss of life, particularly in relation to children on school buses. I call on the Minister to step in.” At a recent community meeting Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said she had also written to the Premier and relevant state government departments demanding action for the safety of residents. Ms Bolton said assessment of the road 10 years ago four it was inadequate to deal with 80 truck movements a day and now there are more than 200. She said there had not been an assessment done on the capacity of the road to deal with the tonnage. Minister Bailey said he had met with Ms Bolton a number of times and understood the community’s concerns regarding the Kin Kin Quarry. “My department has been working with Sandy and Mayor Stewart to look at solutions, and is continuing to investigate options,” he said. “I’m pleased to confirm that TMR will be installing heavy vehicle advisory signs, in consultation with the Member for Noosa and Noosa Shire Council.” Mr Bailey said concerns around the frequency of quarry trucks fell under Council’s Quarry Management Plan but TMR would continue to work with Sandy and Council to try and reach a resolution.

Erosion zone development a no-go: state and council A development application from Thomas Sykes to split one property into two lots at 33 Ross Crescent, Sunshine Beach described as a “high risk erosion prone zone“ has been rejected by the State Government and is set to be refused by Noosa Council this week. A special meeting will be held by Council today to discuss the application that officers say is not only is non-compliant with the Noosa Plan but the property is wholly in an erosion prone area and the proposal to build on the steeply sloping land would increase

the risk from coastal erosion to a number of other properties. The applicant had hoped to divide the 2776sqm property on the beachfront and build a second residential dwelling on a 774sqm parcel. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said Council had no discretion to go against the State Government department relating to a development application at Sunshine Beach. Under section 56 of the Planning Act 2016,

Council was obligated to send the application for a lot reconfiguration to the relevant state referral agency for consideration - in this case the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (SARA) “Our hands are tied in this situation because Council must adhere to a direction by the State Government,” she said. “The department has directed Council to refuse the application under section 62 of the

Planning Act and Council must comply with that requirement,” she said. The proposed lot is completely located within the State erosion prone area and coastal management district and contrary to the State Planning Policy 2017. Council will consider the application at a Special Meeting on Friday, but Cr Stewart said there was really no room to move on such an applications, given the direction from the State Government.

groves but ones located in front of beach areas prevented families from enjoying the area and swimming. “What annoys me is they don’t leave,” he said. He said many sat empty, some were used occasionally and only a few seemed to have regular occupants. The man said he knew there was a dump site at the marina but did not know if the moored boats made use of it for the removal of effluent and that concerned him. One boat owner who didn’t want to discuss the situation, said his boat was being renovated. He said the moorings had been visited by council officers and MSQ officers since comments appeared on social media.

Maritime Safety Queensland general manager Angus Mitchell said MSQ was aware of the vessels and houseboats moored in Noosa River including those near Hilton Esplanade. “Our Noosa River marine officers conduct inspections, audits and enforcement activities to ensure compliance with ship-sourced pollution and marine safety laws,” he said. “MSQ is also working closely with Noosa Shire Council to investigate options to address waterways management matters including requirements around living aboard a vessel, anchoring, mooring and vessels aground.” Mr Mitchell said community consultation and engagement would be sought on potential options in the coming months.

A group of houseboats moored on the beach near Hilton Esplanade at Tewantin has copped a battering after questions were asked about their extended stay on the prime site. Former Mayor Bob Abbot said he just wanted to know why it was happening when he asked the question on social media but hadn’t expected the site to be inundated with comments. Mr Abbot said it was disappointing to see the area so close to the Noosa Marina looking like a boat repair yard. “You drive over the bridge and it’s there,” he said.

“It’s such a mess. I understand there’s quite a bit of legislation and regulation but it’s getting worse and worse rather than better.” Mr Abbot said the beach was being degraded and you could see work being done there. “There’s quite a number of boats on the riverbank being repaired. Some are being repaired and others are in disrepair. “I don’t think it’s ever been like this before.” A resident who has lived near the boats for the past two years said some boats had been there ever since he arrived and the number of them had increased over that time. The resident said he didn’t mind the boats being moored out of sight beside the man-

The quest for identity By Phil Jarratt Last week’s Noosa Festival of Surfing saw some inspired performances from many local surfers, but few could match the amazing Smales brothers, 14-year-old Landen and 17-year-old Kaiden, who sailed through their junior divisions undefeated, to add the Under 15 and Under 18 trophies to the groaning weight on the cabinet at home. Says proud mum Natalie: “Kaiden and Landen are currently ranked first and second in Queensland in the Under 18 men’s longboard, and Landen is also number two in Queensland on the shortboard. Landen is also the reigning Australian champion under 18 Logger and current state champion. At 12 he was the youngest ever to win an Australian title back in 2019. In August they will represent Queensland at the Australian Longboard titles at Port Macquarie.” Oddly enough, as impressive as these results are, what most excited these well-mannered teenage boys when Noosa Today caught up with them at the festival was the opportunity to talk about their recent experiences helping teach young Indigenous children how to ride a surfboard. Says Kaiden: “Through a program called Dingira Warrai, which means dancing on waves, we got to work with Kristy and Hayden from SurfDancer coaching young Kabi Kabi kids. Kabi Kabi storyteller Lyndon Davis came to the coaching sessions a few times and he created such an awesome connection to the land and the ocean. He was telling us the story of how Noosa Head was made, and suddenly this amazing rainbow appears while he’s dancing around. It was magical. But just being able to teach the kids how to surf and see the smile on their faces was magical too.” An excited Landen adds: “We were running around doing high fives and stuff every time they stood up on a wave, it was awesome.”

Landen Smiles at The Box, WA. Heart in mouth at 14. Teaching Kabi Kabi children to surf is not just some random act of kindness. It is the embodiment of a cultural and blood connection that is quite new to the Smales boys and has begun to change their young lives in significant ways. As you read this, both Kaiden and Landen will be competing on longboard and shortboard on Wadawurrung Country at Bells Beach, Victoria for the first time in the Australian Indigenous Surfing Championships. Dad Brent takes up the story: “The issue of our bloodline from my side has been tucked away in the family for a long time. It goes back to my childhood when my grandfather would

say about me things like, that’s the Aboriginal in that boy! Occasionally in our family things would come up that made the kids start to ask questions, so I began looking into it a bit more over the last few years. “Two years ago when Landen was in Western Australia for the Aussie titles, Natalie was able to do some investigation and made a connection with the local Noongar and Bandjalung people. Basically, we found out that my ancestors were from the Margaret River area. I’m not sure how many greats you have to go back, but a great grandmother of mine was the first half-

The elders who recognised our evidence for identifying said that this was a familiar story back then. “It’s funny because it all begins to fit together: Landen is always out in the mangroves hunting and fishing and just exploring, while Kaiden is a storyteller. And they both have this great love of land and sea.” Says Kaiden: When I found out about (their bloodline) I felt really proud, because I’ve always loved learning about Indigenous Australia, what it was like here before settlement and how the people lived. To be able to identify and now represent as Indigenous is just amazing. It’s awesome for me and Landen to be considered up-andcoming Indigenous surfers and to build connections with other surfers. We want to be role models for our generation.” While their Indigenous identity has become a major focus, the boys are also deeply involved in every facet of the surfing lifestyle. Kaiden is competing in some novelty and retro shortboard events, but is primarily focused on getting good results in longboard surfing. He says: “Everything’s just clicked for me and

Landen over the past year or so. We’ve had some really good results and we’re stoked that we’re able to show everyone how we can surf.” Says Landen: “I feel the same. I’ve been surfing good on a shortboard for most of my life but lately I’ve started to do well in the longboard comps too. So I’m going to just keep trying to do better at both.” If he can stay still for long enough. Now in Victoria for the Indigenous comp, the week before the Noosa festival Landen was in Margaret River on a sponsor trip, where he not only got to surf on country but turned heads at The Box, fearlessly tackling big waves at the dangerous slab that has brought many world champions undone. Naturally, the sponsor’s list is long and growing, ranging from local Andrew Warhurst Fine Surfcraft who looks after both boys for longboards, to major surfwear companies like Reef and Quiksilver, who picked up Landen when he was nine, evoking memories of super-grom Julian Wilson. Kaiden has also been helping on the editing process for a short film about the Dingira Warrai children’s wellness program and its surfing connection, which will premier next week at Tewantin Primary School.

Welcome to Country from Jacqui Sandy.

Fund our future, not gas By Abbey Cannan Students, parents, educators, workers and families gathered in Maroochydore Rotary Park at Cotton Tree on Friday to voice a clear message to the Morrison Government, “Fund our future, not gas“. Speakers at Friday’s event included the likes of Noosa Councillor Dr Brian Stockwell. “Since the seventies, we’ve known fossil fuel pollution causes global warming,“ Dr Stockwell said. “But for the last fifty years, politicians have been asleep at the wheel. “In 2019, we in the Noosa Council declared a Climate Emergency. We committed to meaningful action to become carbon neutral by 2026. “If we want a better future for our youth, we have to listen to their demands for a cleaner future.” The Sunshine Coast event was one of dozens of School Strike 4 Climate (SS4C) actions across the country and supported by Australian Parents for Climate Action (AP4CA). Spokesperson for AP4CA Sunshine Coast, Yolanda Dasgupta, said, “We are striking to

tell the Morrison Government that if they care about the future of kids in this country, they must stop funding and supporting gas.“ “Gas is fuelling the climate crisis, devastating our land and water and wrecking our health. “The new $600 million taxpayer-funded, gas-fired power station just announced in NSW is a massive handout to the fossil fuel industry but creates very few jobs. The International Energy Agency has clearly stated that if governments are serious about the climate crisis, there can be no new investments in oil, gas and coal, from now.” Ms Dasgupta, said “We have a chance to create a sustainable recovery from Covid-19. Anything less is short sighted at best and negligent at worst.” Speakers at Friday’s event included Adrian Whitehead, Co-Founder, Beyond Zero Emissions and Director, Council and Community Action in the Climate Emergency; Qld Representative on the Strategic Advisory Board of Climate Emergency Australia, and Logan Costa, Student and Member of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition.

Speakers Adrian Whitehead and Dr Brian Stockwell.

From Bondi to Noosa surf By Abbey Cannan With over 5500 rescues under his belt throughout 26 years of lifeguarding, this Bondi Rescue television star is an icon to the profession. Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll graced the sands of Noosa on Friday, surprising guests at Noosa Surf Life Saving Club’s annual dinner, and inspiring the Noosa Next Wave youths. During his trip he caught up with Noosa Surf Life Saving Club president Ross Fisher and Head Coach Darren Mercer, who he named a hero. “Daz and his brother are just iconic heroes in the sport and in Australia,“ Anthony said. “I remember seeing Darren come down this famous wave at Bondi in the Kellogg’s NutriGrain, and they were pretty much the face of the brand. “I’ve met a lot of Hollywood stars, rescued Hugh Jackman’s son, and I hang out with Simon Baker a fair bit, but these guys are the real stars. Darren gave me the fundamental footsteps to create the brand I am now.“ Darren returned the kind sentiments, calling Anthony “the son of Hoff“. “We’ve known each other for a long time and it’s great to see him up here,“ he said. “He’s such a legend in the lifeguarding world but also just in the surfing scene and lifesaving.“ Being recognised in the street is just common nature for Anthony these days, with Bondi Rescue on air in every country in the world. “Everyone watches the TV show and it’s quite humbling that you become famous,“ he said. “It doesn’t really sit with me well saying we’re famous because we just do what we do.“I never thought as a kid I would go on to rescue over 5500 people. I never thought in my wildest dreams that as a kid I would go on to be a lifeguard and to be on a TV show. It’s very humbling to represent the clubs and all the

Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club president Ross Fisher, Bondi Rescue lifeguard Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll and Head Coach Darren Mercer. lifeguards and the amazing work they do.“ As a popular tourist destination, Bondi Beach commonly reaches crowds of up to 50,000 people, and thanks to his contagious smile, Anthony is asked to take at least 80 photos a day. “We average around 250 to 300 rescues a day with about six or seven lifeguards on the beach,“ he said. “With the magnitude of rescues, you have to be fit in the water, and you need to keep your skills up. Fatigue levels build up because of the heat, and due to the show you also have to deal with the popularity of the lifeguards.“ Dreaming to retire in Noosa with his family, Anthony said it was one of the most beautiful places in the world. “This is a very iconic holiday destination,

very similar to that Bondi feel and people come to try and cleanse themselves,“ he said. “This place is heaven on earth. These guys do an amazing job here. They’ve got a big influx of people that come down to the beach, so things happen down here from resuscitations to rescues, and it doesn’t matter which beach you’re on, you’ve got to bring your A game for a rescue.“ Anthony said both lifesavers and lifeguards were faced with traumatic situations. “In my game, if a family is watching a loved one that has died on the beach, calm has to be contagious, and if you’re not calm, you’re not going to be able to do anything,“ he said. The Covid pandemic was the toughest time throughout his career with the beaches being forced shut.

“There were three fatalities that I had to attend to within a week,“ Anthony said. “People were really suffering with their mental health. Council did a tremendous job to help out at all ends but it was a very hard time in my career. “It’s really important as a surf lifesaver or a lifeguard that you have the right processes in place. “I come from a different era where it was a blokey bloke, ’you’ll be right mate’ mentality. Whereas now we get counselling. Because you look at the combative trauma after 26 years... I’ve been pulling bodies in from the age of 18 and that adds up into the hundreds. That magnitude is not met anywhere else in Australia. Any of the kids I’m with now, you have to check in. They talk a lot more and that’s a great thing.“ Working with a company in Brisbane called First Aid Kits Australia, Anthony has been endorsing first aid kits and defibrillators. “It’s quite astonishing to know the numbers, 33,000 Australians die each year from a cardiac arrest. Getting a defibrillator on them within a minute has a 90 per cent success rate of bringing that person back to life,“ he said. “I’ve used a defibrillator 20 to 30 times in my career and I’m just astonished at how amazing these products are at bringing people back to life. Seeing people in the streets that you’ve brought back to life is just incredible.“ Noosa Surf Life Saving Club president Ross Fisher said they were working on getting defibrillators in all of Noosa’s lifesaving towers. Surf lifesavers are pillars of the community, Anthony said. “They’re up early in the morning before the lifeguards get here, they’re here late at night, and they’re doing stuff that is just heroic outside of hours. You can’t beat this surf lifesaving brand.“

As the evidence is mounting Council is putting pressure on the quarry in the form of fines

for breaches of its Quarry Management Plan (QMP). At a roundtable meeting last Friday Council announced quarry operators Cordwell Resources had been issued a further $27,000 in fines, bringing the total over the past four months to $80,000, none of which has been paid. To assist in preparing Council’s legal case, residents have volunteered to complete a 30-question survey. It asks them to detail the current environment, the nature of the impact of more than 200 truck movements daily,

dust problems in the area, plus it seeks their thoughts on the best way to address community concerns. Mayor Clare Stewart said residents were best placed to describe the environment, noise impacts and other amenity issues which relate directly to the quarry’s truck movements.Kin Kin Community Group president Jan Bonsall said depression and anger were rife in the community because of the impact of the trucks. “It’s ruined paradise,” she said. The majority of us went to live in Kin Kin to get out of

suburbia. We didn’t go there to have it inflicted upon us. If you think of 200 trucks a day, that’s fairly disruptive. It’s not consistent with the idyllic life you want to take up.” Ms Bonsall recalled a recent incident where a mother taking her young children to school over the range was forced to swerve over to the edge of the road when she met a truck on a corner. “She’s terrified,” she said. Ms Bonsall said the community was appreciative of the effort being put in by council and Ms Bolton. Continued on page 5

Diversity enriches Noosa By Margaret Maccoll It was a moving ceremony for 48 Noosa residents from 17 different countries who took their pledge to become new Australians at a citizenship ceremony held at The J Theatre last Friday. Some had come to Australia in search of a better life for themselves and their families while others arrived as tourists and stayed. Rita Gazso travelled to Sydney from Romania 13 years ago for a holiday. She met her future husband Dave Barrie, took up study, and stayed. The couple now have three Australian daughters. Ian and Augusta moved to Australia from South Africa four years ago. They discovered Noosa three years ago and decided to stay. In their search for a business they have since opened Happy Pops gelato

store in Hastings Street. Daniela Vernnezzi and Marcelo Nagatemo travelled from Brazil to Noosa to learn English. “We fell in love with the culture and nature. It’s paradise,” Daniela said. Mayor Clare Stewart presided over the citizenship ceremony while singer Amanda Gilmour and guitarist Dave Burrows, performing as JazzString, inspired with their uplifting renditions of I Am Australian and the National Anthem. Cr Stewart told the gathering it was citizenship that united us all and would enable the new citizens to be fully involved in a society with a national culture premised on equality. She spoke of the enrichment of the nation by the diversity of its cultures and the need to defend our national values of freedom of religion, speech and association.

Dean Marsh and the sewing group have made Cooran Boomerang Bags for four years and sold thousands.

John Esson of Cooran Earth Rights

Elise Patton of the Cooran General Store and Alison Dillon of Cooran Food Collective.

Cooran opens its doors By Margaret Maccoll The Couran Community came together last Sunday to connect with locals to showcase their businesses, services, groups and talents. Feather said the idea was born out of a Memorial Schools of Arts Inc meeting about five weeks before as a way to get more members to the hall and inform the many new residents to the area about the community. “Couran already has a number of collectives, half of us are already mates,” she said. “The newcomers coming in we have will feel the closeness of the town.” Feather said the day aimed to encourage people to become more involved and increase membership of community groups. John Esson told guests about conservation group Cooran Earth Rights and the success it had had fighting future mining applications in the region. Dean Marsh talked about the vol-

unteer sewing group that produced Cooran’s own Boomerang bags that were sold at the general store as a replacement for plastic bags. Alison Dillon informed visitors about the Cooran Food Collective that was established in 2018 to provide good organic produce for locals by bringing together flood from local producers and complementing it with organic produce sourced from Brisbane markets. The collective partnered with the Cooran General Store to sell it. The hall was filled with residents showcasing their businesses from the local store, state school and emergency services to health services, environmental groups and art spaces and visitors who had come to learn more about the town and enjoy some good food and entertainment. The event was funded with community resilience money from Red Cross with the assistance of Noosa Council.

Eumundi beer finalists Having thrown the challenge to Sunshine Coast beer-lovers to get creative in the ‘Brewed By EU’ competition, the brewers at Eumundi Brewery have narrowed down more than 300 entries to just two finalists. And now it’s up to you to help choose the winner. The winning beer will become a limited release Eumundi brew - to be sold on tap and in cans across the Sunshine Coast later this year. Head Brewer at the Eumundi Brewery Chris Sheehan said he was thrilled to see such a huge response to the competition, which challenged people to develop the concept and flavour combinations for a beer inspired by Eumundi and the Sunshine Coast. “Hats off to the top two finalists - a pineapple, ginger and macadamia beer by Deb Munro of Sippy Downs, and the Black Cockatoo Smoked Lager created by Josh Batton of Peregian Springs,” Chris said. “Deb’s beer idea fits perfectly as a Sour and has unique ingredients of pineapple with a hint of ginger and a pinch of macadamia, and her inspiration came from iconic Sunshine Coast landmarks The Big Pineapple and The Ginger Factory. “We had around 80 entries that included pineapple as an ingredient, lots with ginger and lots with macadamia, however Deb’s idea was the only one to combine all three ingredients together in a beer. The holy trinity of local ingredients. “Josh chose a dark lager for his beer and

Brewed By EU finalist Deb Munro with Eumundi Brewery Head Brewer Chris Sheehan. named it the Black Cockatoo Smoked Lager acknowledging the bird as a spectacle with its colour and proud stature, just like this beer.

Josh noted that the crisp, clean body and hint of smokiness reminds us of the formidable beauty of our landscape.”

The unique ingredients chosen by Josh were peat smoked malt, cold brew coffee and brown coffee malt, and his inspiration for the brew was the bushfires and the rural fire brigade who put their lives on the line to protect our community. “Our task as brewers is now to brew two 20 litre kegs of the two finalists’ beers to go headto-head in a public vote and tasting on the Saturday 26 June at the Hinterland Craft Beer Festival at The Imperial Hotel, home of the Eumundi Brewery,“ Chris said. “People can also vote without trying the beer or attending the taste-test event - but most importantly all votes need to happen via the website www.eumundibrewery.com.au/ brewedbyeu.” The final voting period starts Saturday 26 June and ends Monday 11 July, with the winner to be announced at a Brewed By EU Launch Party at The Imperial Hotel on Saturday 21 August. And there’s a ’Brewtiful’ prize up for grabs for the winner of the best beer idea - $5000 cash and one carton (24 x 375ml cans) of Eumundi Lager or Pale Ale per month for 12 months to share with friends. Anyone who votes on the two shortlisted beers will also be entered to win the first carton produced of the Brewed By EU winning beer, a $250 voucher for the Imperial Hotel Eumundi, two cartons of Eumundi Lager or Eumundi Pale Ale, five tickets to attend the Brewed by EU’ launch Party, and other Eumundi Brewery merch.

Grants ensure more live music coming to Noosa ager Julie McLaws said the Club was excited to have further opportunities to recognise local and original up and coming performers. “We hope to see new faces brought into the Club with the addition of ’Live and original’ nights,“ Ms McLaws said. Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, said the grants would support the immediate needs of the Australian live music industry. “The Australian music industry is facing particular pressures in light of the severe impacts of COVID-19. That is why we are pleased to continue to support local venues to increase performance opportunities and showcase Australian talent,” Minister Fletcher said. “Round two of the program is funding venues in every state and territory, from pubs in the remote outback, to clubs and theatres in major capital cities, assisting them to reopen as restrictions on public gatherings and live music performance are lifted.”

Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien said the grant from the Morrison Government’s $2.5 million round two of the Live Music Australia Program will enable the Tewantin Noosa RSL and Citizens Memorial Club to host live performances by local and touring Australian artists. “This is about supporting local jobs by encouraging more people to visit the RSL, enjoy some live music, have a drink and a meal and a good time out with family and friends,” Mr O’Brien said. “The funding will provide a real boost to the local Noosa live music scene, supporting the entertainment and hospitality industry, increasing opportunities for local people to socialise, and also enhancing Noosa as a great tourism destination.” “The Tewantin Noosa RSL is a fantastic venue and their ‘Live and Original’ events are a great opportunity to hear talented local and interstate musicians while helping the Noosa hospitality sector to rebuild from COVID-19.” Tewantin Noosa RSL Club General Man-

Stopping at the start As Queensland marks Domestic Violence Protection Month local resident Kylie Travers tells her story to Noosa Today. In 2015 I was a finalist for Young Australian of the Year in the ACT for my work in dedicating myself to ending homelessness and domestic violence. At the time I had recently left a violent relationship and faced homelessness with my two young daughters. Having faced this heartache, that far too many Australian women are familiar with, I am confident in the knowledge that respect is our greatest tool against domestic violence, and hence something I strive to teach and model every day. Today, my life is a far cry from where it was nine years ago. I live in Noosa with my partner Justin and our beautiful blended, multicultural family of three daughters and a son. We are in many ways a typical Australian family, and like so many others in our community, the glue that holds us together is respect. This Domestic Violence Prevention Month I’m a proud advocate of the Australian Government’s Stop it at the Start campaign. It’s a national campaign that aims to empower adults to role model respectful behaviours, call out disrespect when they see it, and start a conversation about respect with the young people in their lives. Whether you’re a mum, a dad (step parents included), a teacher, or grandparent, the opportunity to positively impact a child’s life by modelling what it means to be a kind and respectful person is monumental, and it can start with a simple conversation. One small action we take in our home is the practice of ‘private conversations’. That is, at any moment, in any room, or situation, our children can say, “Mum I need a private conversation”, or “Dad can I please have a private word”. All other members of the family know at this time to leave the space, providing an environment for open and honest conversation. For us, this practice allows us to create safe spaces with our children to discuss their

Kylie Travers and family. concerns and in turn have meaningful conversations with them about respect. Outside of the home, this action has translated to our children feeling comfortable raising their concerns when they see moments of disrespect, knowing their perspective is valued. Instilling respect in children requires both words and actions. Private conversations are an active moment in our day where we can make a difference and discuss the importance of mutual compassion with our children. How-

ever, there are thousands of other little moments in each day where you can also make a significant impact. Whether it’s calling out disrespect on the sidelines of a sports game, modelling respect in my own relationship, or discussing online behaviour and boundaries with my children, I know, every step towards respect is a step in the right direction. Despite how my life has changed over the years, my dedication to ending the cycle of abuse has not waned. Outside of the home I

work every day to support the eradication of family violence, however, it is the conversations and actions I take in the home which I know make the greatest difference. Each May, Queensland marks Domestic Violence Prevention Month and I encourage you to mark it by thinking about the small moments in your life you can use to teach respect to the next generation, whether through actions or words. Let’s work together to Stop it at the Start.

Celebrating Noosa’s VIC

Noosa ‘shark tank’ By Abbey Cannan A Shark Tank inspired program aimed at helping women has been created by Noosa’s Powerhouse Collective founder and CEO. Aimee Sherriff, serial entrepreneur and recently noted as one of the 50 most influential women on the Sunshine Coast, created the pitching platform event as an extension of The Powerhouse Collective. The Collective supports women in business to achieve equality of income, wealth and superannuation across their working and parenting lives. “Hatch is a new part-government funded program that will help women looking to start, or grow an existing business in the regional areas of South-East Queensland,“ Aimee said. “I wanted to create something where women could have the confidence to pitch their

ideas for businesses. “If we were able to stop worrying about what other people think at an early age, we would be unstoppable.“ There is no cost to apply and the event hopes to target women who feel barriers such as age, location, parenting, business skills or lack of financial means stop them at their chance of business success, home/ life balance and financial freedom. Applications will be completed online then whittled down to 100 per regional area. A roadshow of events will follow where the 10 finalists for each region will be announced and go on to pitch live across a two-day Grand Finale event at the Sofitel in Noosa Heads in front of a panel of well-known judges including Jane Lu, founder of successful online retailer Showpo.com. The regions of focus are Wide-Bay and Bur-

nett (Hervey Bay/ Gympie), Darling Downs (Toowoomba/ Ipswich) Sunshine Coast (Noosa/Caloundra) and Gold Coast areas, however anyone in surrounding areas can apply. A weeklong roadshow will take place in these key regions connecting a network of likeminded female innovators and entrepreneurs with guest speakers, exhibitor stalls and an array of workshops providing business insights, learnings and knowledge for our attendees. There are also a number of sponsorship and business opportunities available including naming rights, guest speaking, mentorships, brand/ product awareness and exhibitor/ stall holders should you or your business like to be involved. If you have a great business idea or need help to take your current business to the next level, register your interest at www.hatchevents.com.au or email hello@hatchevents. com for applications.

Noosa’s Powerhouse Collective founder and CEO Aimee Sherriff has created an exciting new pitching platform called HATCH.

Volunteers from Tourism Noosa’s Visitor Information Centre came together on Friday evening to celebrate National Volunteer Week, in recognition of the significant contribution they provide to Noosa’s tourism industry. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said the Volunteers play a critical role in providing a warm welcome to visitors in Noosa. “We typically have over 200,000 visitors walk through the doors of the Information Centre each year on Hastings Street and our friendly Volunteers are there to welcome, inspire and provide information to not only help visitors enjoy their stay, but also to support tourism members in Noosa,“ she said. “Whether it is providing information on where to stay, tours and experiences, restaurants and in general, just providing that local knowledge that we know visitors are seeking out, the Volunteers share this with visitors each and every day. “The Visitor Information Centre is open 7 days and is manned by 70 Volunteers with a combined estimate of nearly 600 years of experience. “Our Volunteers are one of the most passionate group of Volunteers I have encountered and on this occasion we acknowledged 4 Volunteers who have reached a milestone of being a part of the Centre for over 20 years and 2 Volunteers who have been there for over 25 years. That is dedication and commitment right there. “The Volunteers enjoyed an evening of fun, laughter, awards, a glass of wine and some nibbles amongst Volunteers who have become friends.“ Volunteer Dianne Lindsay said, “Volunteering at the Noosa Visitor Information Centre is very rewarding. It is fabulous to assist our visitors to experience all that the Noosa Shire has to offer.“ “I can even find new things to see or do for those who have been to Noosa many times before. I too have learnt so much about our region and I always enjoy the company of my fellow volunteers. Not a shift goes by without a laugh or two.“ Food and drink was kindly provided by Heads of Noosa, Boiling Pot, Milk Bar, Bettys Burgers, Grill’d and Noosa Heads Surf Club. FUN FACTS: Seven Noosa experiences Volunteers recommend to visitors: 1. Noosa National Park 2. Noosa Everglades 3. Fraser Island Tours and the Great Beach Drive 4. Noosa Country Drives 5.

Teens supporting Youturn A group of students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College have been working towards a service learning project with local charity Youturn Youth Support. All Year 11 students at the College were given an opportunity to select a service project that was of interest to them as part of their Curriculum Support program. This particular project involved visiting the Youturn centre in Tewantin to learn about their work in the local community, and then students acted upon the facts that they learned by contributing meals to the emergency relief supplies for Youturn to distribute as needed. Head of Senior Years Studies at Good Shepherd Matt Armstrong said, “Caring for the wellbeing of others and engaging in community service is something that Good Shepherd takes very seriously and purposely includes in the learning programs.“ “It was great to see how enthusiastic the students were and proud to see how their learning was having a positive effect on those less fortunate in the local community.” Youturn is a not-for-profit that was started 30 years ago to help address youth homelessness in the Noosa region. Since then, the organisation has grown substantially, working with young people and those that support them, expanding their focus to include child safety, mental health, suicide prevention and of course homelessness. Youturn now works at 14 locations across Southern Queensland with a staff base of 180 employees and last year helped over 6,800 young people. The meals that were provided by the Year 11 students will be used for the emergency relief for people that contact Youturn for support. These people can be experiencing temporary or ongoing homelessness, significant financial or personal hardship, or challenging personal circumstances. The meals provide an opportunity for them to connect with Youturn as an organisation to

The Noosaville State School community raising funds and awareness for World Bicycle Relief.

Students stride and ride The Noosaville State School community recently rode out and stepped up to raise funds and awareness for World Bicycle Relief. The students walked over 4.6km from the Tewantin Skate Park to Noosaville State School to demonstrate and raise awareness of the average distance students in Malawi, walk to and from primary school. Noosaville State School Deputy Principal Alasdair Scott said, “To encourage more students to walk, ride, scoot or skate to school, we are getting behind World Bicycle Relief.“ “The Environmental School Leaders are driving Noosa Council’s Go Noosa Schools program and have been coming up with different ideas to raise awareness of sustainable travel options for our students.” Noosaville State School Student Council Leader, Julius said, “We want to raise enough money to buy some bikes so disadvantaged students in Malawi, can go to school too.“ The day’s activities will include a dress up your hat/helmet day to help raise funds for the cause. World Bicycle Relief is using pedal power to remove distance as a barrier to getting an education.

The international, non-profit organisation specialises in large-scale, comprehensive bicycle distribution programs to aid poverty relief in developing countries around the world. Over 70 per cent of the bikes gifted are to girl students, to provide them with an equal opportunity to fulfil their potential and break the cycle of poverty. By providing students in developing countries with bikes to travel the long journey to and from school, they have more time for learning and increases attendance, retention and classroom performance. “We would like to thank everyone who participated or donated, including parents, the Go Noosa Schools program and Senior Constable Jessica Phillips from the Adopt a Cop program,“ Mr Scott said.

Care for cancer patients In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Noosa Hospital has joined forces with local businesses to create a ‘care pack’ for women needing surgery for breast cancer. The ‘community care packs’ were designed to provide women with important brochures and information they need following their cancer diagnosis. However Noosa Hospital breast cancer nurses Jean Kelly and Mel Diggle wanted to make them special for the ladies, and decided to reach out to local business to help personalise the packs. “We call these our ‘community care packs’ and they really are just that because the local businesses who’ve come on board have donated some lovely products. For the ladies who receive them, it’s just knowing that there are people out there they don’t even know, who are thinking of them and caring about them at this difficult time,” Ms Kelly said. The generous items donated to the program include: Jute bags, a thermos and pen from Dr Felicity Adams, Organic deodorant and lip balm from Noosa Basics, Travel size body lotion from Saya, Handmade cards from Banana Leaf Cards, Sunscreen, pens and brochures from Genesis Care Buderim, Hand knitted beanies from a ladies’ group in Gympie, Sensitive hand sanitiser and jelly beans from Ramsay Pharmacy. “It’s just so nice when we go and visit the ladies after their procedure and they’ve already popped the lip balm into their handbags or they’re munching on some jellybeans. They’re just lovely items that we can pop into the bag and it gives us the opportunity to give them information in there that they can read down the track when they’re ready,” Ms Kelly said.

The Community Care Packs can be further personalised for patients depending on their diagnosis - for example Zonta has also donated satin pillows for ladies to pop under their arms and little bags have also been gifted for women who need to go home with drainage.

Noosa Hospital Chief Executive Officer Justin Greenwell said he was thrilled to hear the wonderful feedback from women who’ve received the Community Care Packs. “Our philosophy of people caring for people is behind everything that we do and it’s so

heartwarming to know that these packs have already helped more than 20 women diagnosed with breast cancer in our local community,” Mr Greenwell said. “Thank you to all the local business who helped Jean and Mel make this happen.”

On her path to medicine An online story about a house painter who became a doctor provided former agribusiness manager Kasey Webb of Kin Kin with the inspiration she needed to enrol at USC as a pathway to studying medicine. Kasey, who was awarded a University Medal when she received her Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours) at a recent USC graduation ceremony, is currently completing a Doctor of Medicine at the Sunshine Coast Health Institute through Griffith University. “When I googled USC as my closest university, the first hit was a story about a house painter who completed Biomedical Science at USC and secured a graduate medicine place,” Kasey said. “I took it as a sign,” she said. “I had always wanted to be a doctor but didn’t have the opportunity straight out of high school. While I enjoyed my bank job, I had a desire to contribute to society in a way that was more meaningful to me.” The mother-of-three, who worked her way from bank teller to agribusiness manager during 22 years in the banking industry, said USC’s Biomedical Science program provided her with a strong foundation in the medical sciences and the confidence to follow her aspirations. “My experience at USC was the best and most challenging four years of my life so far,” said Kasey, whose perfect grade point average of 7 earned her USC’s highest academic award. “It gave me options – something which I didn’t feel I had without a tertiary education – and a greater appreciation of my own capabilities,” she said. “I constantly pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and stretched my capacity. I found growth happens in that stretch.” At the end of her Honours year, Kasey was offered a PhD research scholarship as well as being accepted into a Doctor of Medicine after passing the Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT).

Kasey said discovering a passion for research was an unexpected bonus from her USC studies.

Hastings Street muse By Abbey Cannan What do you pack to pursue your dream and what do you leave behind? Perhaps that’s a question many mature age women ask whilst they juggle adult children, grandchildren, aging parents, financial, emotional and location decisions. Noosa writer, Julie Holland, addresses some of these issues in her latest contemporary fiction novel ‘That Summer In Nautilus Cove’. And yes, Nautilus Cove is loosely based on the Sunshine Coast. “The book is a heart-warming sea change story of self-discovery, full of humour and romance,” Julie said. “And, of course, our area is the perfect setting for Marnie Fawkner to confront what she needs to pack to pursue her own dreams. “Locals will be able to recognise Noosa River, the National Park, and some restaurants the rest are a secret. “I couldn’t resist adding in the retail elements as my partner and I have a local small business, but it’s all new to Marnie. As they say, ‘What could possibly go wrong?’” Julie has always been a writer, with several childrens books and an inspirational book of verse under her belt. But contemporary fiction is her love, with another book (set in Melbourne) due out later in the year. “This is my first contemporary fiction novel so it has taken a few years to write but I wanted to get it right so that readers would be looking forward to subsequent stories,” Julie said. “The process of drafts, the various levels of editing, listening to early reader and editors’ advice and letting it sit for a while ’to cook’ has been wonderful. “Your characters can only grow and deepen when they’re looked after. My second book is well on its way so there shouldn’t be as many labour pains.” Julie said she needed the main character to have a sea-change from Melbourne, and what

better place to be than Noosa. “She had to become accustomed to the humidity, to give herself space to re-think her life, even to buy a few linen pants as a change from her city work clothes,” she said. “I have used actual Sunshine Coast places because I know them, but have weaved through other coastal towns I’ve visited. I’m from Melbourne originally so could draw on many of the southern details as well.” The book is for sale at Hearts and Minds Art in Hastings Street, a shop that Julie and her partner opened ten years ago. “It’s an art gallery/homewares store which has grown from me selling my inspirational verses at Eumundi markets to a successful bricks and mortar store in Hastings Street,” she said. “We love it and our customers.” That Summer in Nautilus Cove is available as an eBook and paperback on Amazon and at Hearts and Minds Art, Hastings Street, Noosa Heads.

Wishlist CEO celebrates two decades with charity One of the most influential and passionate charity figures on the Sunshine Coast has just racked up 20 years with local charity Wishlist. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe has celebrated two decades with the not-for-profit health foundation and an enormous $18.7 million has been directed to enhancing local public health services. From humble beginnings fundraising from a demountable building at Nambour Hospital, Wishlist is now one of the Coast’s leading charities directing more than $1 million each year to medical equipment and infrastructure upgrades, research, hospital accommodation, support services and health staff scholarships. All to make the hospital experience better for patients and their families. When Ms Rowe first started as the fundraising coordinator in 2001, the charity was known as the Sunshine Coast Health Foundation and only employed two staff. Now, Wishlist’s main office at Sunshine Coast University Hospital is a hive of activity with 13 part-time and full-time staff, plus an army of volunteers. The charity also operates two cafes in Nambour and Gympie, a gift house and two accommodation facilities. Ms Rowe was surprised by her team on Friday with a ‘milestone party’ at the McDermott Aviation Hangar. “What a surprise and it was kept secret by so many wonderful busy people who took the time to attend the hangar on Friday,” Ms Rowe said. “I am so grateful to have played a part in the work of our charity for 20 years and I look forward to the next.” And the next chapter is looking even more promising with their latest multi-million dol24 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 May, 2021

lar project Wishlist Centre on the horizon to provide a circle-of-care to those experiencing a health crisis. What started as Ms Rowe’s idea - a seed of thought - has blossomed into the charity’s most ambitious project yet. As former Wishlist founding chairman Mike Kelly says: “who knows what local services, particularly cancer and paediatric would look like now if we had not raised millions towards enhancements over the past 20 years”. Long-time Wishlist Events and Fundraising Manager Lisa Wilson said Ms Rowe was too humble for public accolades so instead the team organised a small surprise party on Friday to celebrate her career milestone. “To be at an organisation or company for over 20 years is unheard of these days, and Lisa continues to inspire and achieve amazing outcomes for patients and their families,” Ms Wilson said. “The reality is, we will never really know how many lives have been changed or positivity impacted by the purchase of a life-saving ventilator or a piece of equipment to treat cancer, or even the value placed on having a Parent’s Retreat for a tired mother with a critically ill child. “We will never know how many patients have benefited from the millions of dollars Wishlist has directed to our local public hospitals, but we do know that Wishlist would not be what it is today without Lisa. “Her commitment, drive and dedication to what she sets out to achieve is outstanding and our community is so lucky to have her.” Wishlist’s operational costs are covered by commercial enterprise like the Nambour Hospital carpark, so 100 per cent of all donations go directly to priority causes.

Grant also did work as an audio engineer and sound recorder. “This hearing aid looks smaller than the ear piece I would go on stage to sing with. When I first put it in, I was singing with it, and the tears were rolling down my eyes,“ he said. “For the last 20 years I’ve hated the sound of my voice and I really didn’t know what

A Noosa musician who was left with a brain injury after a horrific accident has music to his ears again thanks to two local businesses. In 2004, Grant Linkhorn was involved in a car accident where he was struck by a large truck. In turn he lost a lot of physical function in the lower part of his body, and sustained an acquired brain injury. While Grant has been affected by this incident, he is still a very intelligent and knowledgeable person and is still able to play many instruments with great effect. Grant’s positive disposition towards life and passion for helping others, especially those with challenges themselves, whether they be physical or mental, has helped him and guided him to find his sense of self, and true purpose. It hasn’t been an easy road, by any means; every day has its struggles, but music has been one of the pillars of his life and happiness. In recent years, his hearing has sadly slowly degenerated, not only because of the accident, but his age and former professional occupation in music have had a noticeable effect on the decline of his hearing ability. He said as music became less enjoyable, his life was feeling less fulfilled. However, since meeting independent Audiologist Diedre from Noosa Hearing, and being fitted with Unitron hearing aids and Audeara headphones, Grant said he has once again found solace in music and is able to play all of his instruments. “To work with music, I couldn’t do it without it,“ Grant said. “For 12 years I’ve been almost bed ridden and now the world is opening up to me.“ He was always a very musical individual and heavily drawn towards all sorts of art forms.

We all have some items that are simply taking up space in our lives, and tonight local hero Rosemary needs a hand from The Living Room team to sort the years of trash from the treasure. In this special decluttering episode, you might be inspired to go over your own abode with a fine-tooth comb – or perhaps simply watching others do it, in differing ways, will be more than enough to scratch that fleeting itch. Singer and TV personality Courtney Act drops by to help Amanda, Barry, Chris (above right) and Miguel clean up their space, but perhaps the biggest (and most revealing) letting go will be with Chris and Miguel when they search for their Zen in Tassie.

Full-blown foodies are in for a treat, but can we expect an even more challenging episode dedicated to something such as offal soon? Probably not. Chicken intestines just aren’t that charming, but there’s a sense of adventure in cooking game meat. Tonight, the contestants have five minutes to identify 14 displayed game meats. The lowest scorers will have to concoct something delicious and impress judges Mel, Jock (pictured centre) and Andy (pictured right) in order to stay. It’s not exactly lickyour-lips television, but is kind of educational.

M. Night Shyamalan’s psychologicalsuperhero-thriller trilogy (also known as the Eastrail 177 Trilogy) comes to its much-anticipated conclusion with Glass. Characters from both 2000’s Unbreakable and 2016’s Split (including James McAvoy, below) finally meet when they are all questioned by secretive psychiatrist Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) who is determined to cure them of their supernatural delusions. James McAvoy in particular gives another powerhouse performance as Kevin, the former zoo employee with 24 different personalities. Credit must be given to Shyamalan for trying to break free from the conventions of the comic book genre, even if the end result is slightly underwhelming. But it is definitely worth a watch. James McAvoy reprises his role from Split in Glass.

HELP TELL THE STORY OF NOOSA’S PAST Noosa’s community is being asked to help document the shire’s history as part of a new online heritage portal celebrating yesteryear Residents can browse more than 2500 historical Noosa photos, maps, manuscripts, digital stories and memorabilia via Council’s brand new Heritage Portal – heritage.noosa.qld.gov.au Council’s Heritage Coordinator Jane Harding says the website, which has been nine months in the making, allows residents to add their own memories and

it, they can share those with us directly through the website.”

“It’s interactive – if people are on the site and they see someone they recognise, maybe even themselves, in an old photo, they can log in and tell us,” Ms Harding said.

Ms Harding said much work had gone into preparing content for the website, with more material to be added regularly.

“If they see an event that they were at and have memories of

“As Heritage Coordinator one of my main remits is to be continually documenting the story of Noosa,” Ms Harding said.

“That involves talking to the community, connecting with people who have old photos they’re willing to share with us, and encouraging people to provide oral histories. “Jump on the website, take a look, explore, discover, learn and share your story.” Visit heritage.noosa.qld.gov.au

PAUL HELPS PARK COME TO LIFE Paul has been a key member of Council’s Infrastructure Services team for four years. “My kids are teenagers now but whenever I show them the latest plans of the playground they ask if they can be the first ones to climb the tower. I said if they can keep their rooms clean for a week then I’ll see what I can do. So far, no deal.” The Adventure Playground is a unique project, with its emphasis on the natural environment of Cooroy Creek and the Hinterland region. “We are making it as inclusive as possible for people of all ages and abilities,” Paul said. There is a real sense of excitement about the project, which is jointly funded by Council and the Queensland Government.

Paul Brennan, Project Manager from Noosa Council

Project manager Paul Brennan’s favourite part of working on the much-anticipated Hinterland Adventure Playground is seeing the positive community reaction. “It’s fun to work on something that makes people happy when you start showing them drawings and play elements we’re putting in,” he said.

rewarding at the same time.” Paul grew up in Brisbane but has a history with Noosa, “We started holidaying here in the 70s and used to stay in some flats at Munna Point.” “A lot has changed since then of course, but it’s remarkable how much Noosa still looks the same as it did when I was a kid.”

Paul said the most common question is ‘when will it be finished?’ December is the target. “I’ve heard a few rumours we may be putting a Rocketship in the Playground – I can neither confirm nor deny that. You’ll just have to wait and see…”

HEATED POOL READY FOR WINTER The Noosa Aquatic Centre offers warmth for the chilly months Winter is coming and sometimes that means it’s just a bit too cold to dip the toes into the ocean, and that’s where the heated pools at Noosa Aquatic Centre come in handy. All three of the NAC’s pools are heated and offer a toasty alternative to the ocean over winter. The leisure pool is a wonderfully warm 31 degrees and is a great place for gentle exercise and rehab during quieter times. The 25m pool runs at 29 degrees, while the 50m pool sits at 27 degrees, just enough to take the

chill off your early morning dip, squad session or aqua aerobics class. The warmth continues post-swim with hot showers, barista-made coffee and a delicious range of treats from their café, all of which can be enjoyed beneath the warmth of the outdoor deck heaters. The NAC’s current range of offpeak visit pass specials offer you the chance to get out and enjoy some of the glorious winter sun and save money during the quieter times of the day. So what are you waiting for?

Head on down and stay active this winter. For more, visit: noosaaquaticcentre.com.au or call 5448 0288.

BUDGET CONSULT A raft of new initiatives including more funding to improve bushfire management across the shire are features in the draft Noosa Council 2021/22 budget. Residents can now check out the draft budget on the Your Say Noosa website until 8am Monday 7 June. Councillors have listened to the feedback from the community and the budget is set to boost spending on the environment, increase community grants funding and deliver an ambitious capital works program. The draft budget and capital plan can be viewed on yoursay.noosa. qld.gov.au. Council will formally adopt the budget in late June.

Neo Vida presents ‘Somnium’ at The J Noosa. tural community across the Sunshine Coast, a fun educative experience about different meanings behind our dreams.

It is highly recommended and a great opportunity to witness extraordinary homegrown talent at an elite level.

Neo Vida presents ‘Somnium’ at The J on July 8 and 9 with a special schools performance on July 29 (Ages 12+).

The all new S-Class.

If you love dance, visual media, beauty, and a fabulous experience, then you will love the latest performance on show at The J in Noosa. Neo Vida performs dance works developed with emphasis on modern dance movements influenced by European and Australian art forms. The dance company is the creation of Patricia Jar, who was originally from the Netherlands. Patricia noticed the lack of performing opportunities for elite dancers on the Sunshine Coast and thus created Neo Vida Dance Company. She spends her time creating, performing and producing dance works for and with the local community to keep talent at home and to develop the arts on the Sunshine Coast. Patricia trained in Cunningham, Graham and modern techniques, and has performed pieces for world renowned choreographer Hans van Manen, as well as the Dutch princess ‘Margriet’. She has danced with classical and contemporary companies across Netherlands, Germany, England, Romania and Australia. Patricia shares her passion and experience with students, helping them grow as dancers and to reach their full potential fulfil their dreams. Neo Vida’s third season at The J will be ‘Somnium’, which translates the subject matter or narrative content of dreams into an expression of dance choreographies, with the notion that dreams can reveal insight into hidden desires, hopes, anxieties and emotions. This contemporary work aims to portray some of today’s societal realities which affect us all in one shape or another. ‘Somnium’ explores how our dreams and nightmares can teach us and help us instil a change in our actions, thoughts or behaviours.

Value on marine life In Noosa Today (21/5), in the article Shark net catch, Ms Hanna Tait, CEO of Action for Dolphins, was quoted as saying “Noosa wants to be seen to be protecting this wildlife”. Noosa also wants to protect its reputation as a tourist destination and its visitors with a safe beach. Tourists apparently deliver $1.18b to our economy and whilst I do not wish to belittle the dolphins, whales, dugongs, turtles, etc. they’re combined contribution to our economy here is minimal. One fatality or near fatality would take years to overcome and whilst Ms Tait’s aim is to protect dolphins, not at the expense of humans in my book. Peter Shortal, Noosaville

Tree loss Just came back from Noosa Parade and was shocked to see so many trees gone. What trees did you chop down and why?

Slow down in the river I would like to request that the newly established Noosa River Stakeholders Advisory Committee (NRSAC) review and request Maritime Safety Queensland (QMS) to make the existing Christmas and Easter holiday 6 knot speed limit on the Noosa River covering the area from T Boats to the river mouth - permanent. This issue was last addressed by MSQ in 2007 when the holiday 6 knot limit was introduced according to a letter supplied to me by MSQ dated 19/5/20. Since that time, the number of large recreational and tourist boats and people on PWCs, paddle boards, canoes, sailing and swimming has increased massively. To the point now, where the interlinking narrow channels along Munna Point, Noosaville, around the sand bank off Quamby Place, Noosa Heads, around the sand bank between Quamby Place and The Woods, around the sand bag groin at The Woods, along the Dog Beach and past the beach at the Spit/river mouth - is positively dangerous on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays all year round with the current 20 knot speed limit in place. When the 6 knot speed limit is in place it is fine. Enforcement is always required however it is hard to speed excessively when everyone else is limiting their speed to 6 knots. The narrow interlinking channels that make up the Noosa River from T Boats to the river mouth are like 10 km shared areas on our roadways. You can’t allow boats to be going 20 knots and creating massive wash alongside families with young children on paddle boards through these narrow chan-

34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 May, 2021

Lance Hunt snapped this photo of an Eastern Osprey catching a feed in the early morning. nels. I see it all the time! I see the role of MSQ to provide a safe environment for all users of the Noosa River. I am sad to report that this is not happening. The Munna Point, Noosaville channel is only 60 metres wide that necessitates a 6 knot speed limit. That is, measured from the point marker with the 20 knot speed sign on it, to the pontoon owned by QLD Fisheries. The channel is used by the big commercial and recreational boats plus many smaller ones like mine at 3 metres plus paddle boarders, canoeists, small yachts and swimmers. Note the Campsite at Munna Point has an active swimming reserve and small boat launching area, facing the channel. The Sunday before Easter I was very nearly run over on my 3 metre boat by a large recreational boat travelling at 20 plus knots overtaking another. It was witnessed by 2 jet skiers sitting on the beach at the Camping Ground. They commented that I was lucky to have survived it. Prior to this incident on the same day, a large recreational boat swamped my boat with its wash as I was travelling along the Dog Beach at the mouth of the river which again is mostly only 60 metres wide. When these large commercial and recreational boats go past the pontoons located on Munna Point, Noosaville it is dangerous for adults and especially children to be fishing from them and hopping onto boats, surf skis and paddle boards. The unnecessary wash and wave actions caused by the 20 knot speed limits is also obviously very damaging to the foreshores all the way along the interlinking channels. The beach at the Munna Point caravan park and dog beach needs all the help they can get. The wave action caused by large boats travelling along the dog beach is hollowing out the channel. The sand is not getting a chance to settle on the beach. Without the boat waves - this area would not experience much wave action as the large sand bank in front of it protects the dog beach from swells and wave action.

I do not understand why the Noosa River between T Boats and the river mouth is not treated in the same manner as all other similar waterways on the Sunshine Coast. All of the Mooloolaba River has a 6 knot speed limit yet it is significantly wider than 60 metres, Pumicestone Passage at Caloundra is 6 knots within 100 metres of the shore - including past two bathing reserves similar to the Munna Point caravan park beach and dog beach and the Maroochy River is 6 knots along Picnic Point and Dupont Ave where it is also 60 metres wide and there is a bathing reserve at Picnic Point similar to Munna Point caravan park and the dog beach and there are pontoons on DuPont Ave. Why is the Noosa River different? Plus why is the limit 6 knots in Noosa Sound where the river is more than 60 metres wide and not in the channel at Munna Point, Noosaville, between the sand bank off Quamby Place and The Woods and along the Dog Beach? We need consistency. I note how calm and quite the Mooloolaba River is with its permanent 6 knot speed limit - why can’t we have this on the Noosa River? If you look at the Qld Dept of Main Roads website that notes all the speed limits on the Sunshine Coast it’s pretty obvious why the Noosa River is getting it’s unfair share of large recreational boats and PWCs. I can’t believe that MSQ authorises and promotes a 20 knot speed limit along the channel at Munna Point and the Dog Beach when it is obvious due to their 60 metre widths and location next to pontoons and bathing reserves that more than half of the users are obviously behaving illegally as boats can only go 6 knots within 30 metres of pontoons and the foreshore and PWCs can only go 6 knots within 60 metres of pontoons and the foreshore and within 30 metres of other boats? It’s simple maths? For example every PWC that travels past Munna Point inside the point marker at a speed over 6 knots is breaking the law as they can only travel up to

6 knots within 60 metres of pontoons. Boat owners know the channel is deepest towards the foreshore and hence most boats travel on the outside of the channels. Please let’s be sensible and move to 6 knots permanently. It will save a lot of unnecessary risk, save lives and save our delicate foreshore sand on the noosa caravan park and dog Beach and pontoons and retaining walls on Munna Point and make the Noosa River much more enjoyable for all stakeholders to enjoy. The MSQ and Noosa Council have a legal duty of care to protect the bathers at the caravan park beach at Munna Point and the Dog Beach. As one of the Water Policemen said to me, yes it should be 6 knots permanently and secondly what’s the rush! The commercial and recreational boat owners need to remember the old saying - “it’s all about the journey not the destination!” Along theses lines I believe we need to manage and promote the Noosa River more on environmental grounds and less on thrills and spills. It is part of a world recognised biosphere and it has tremendous potential as an accessible place to go to experience an amazing environmental experience. We need to work with the tour operators to promote the river differently. The only commercial operator that has to get tourists from A to B on time is our wonderful ferry service and even they don’t produce any wake or waves as they travel at around 6 knots with flat bottomed boats. The other commercial operators have no real time constraint on them. I am also very worried that the speed, noise and wash is pushing away our bird life and migratory bird populations. This is another huge reason I would like boat speeds reduced. If you have shared concerns about current river speeds on the Noosa River please email NRSAC directly via their email address NRSAC@noosa.qld.gov.au. James Hordern, Noosaville

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

What’s the path to treaty? Raising conversations that we need to have can be uncomfortable on many fronts, however, should never be seen as divisive. Unity and good outcomes are born from understanding. From all sides of a debate, a hurt, or a viewpoint. As an ‘Aussie’, I am so proud. When the National Anthem is played, from when I was a youngster at school to right now, a shiver goes up my spine. Why? Because it stirs deep within a sense of belonging. We want and need to be part of a village and a tribe, to have a place called home. And for so many that have come to this country over the last 200 years because of persecution, poverty, war and genocide, being an Aussie is related to hope, freedom and a future. That we have finally built a space that is safe for all, is in vast comparison to what history demonstrated. And we should be proud of that. There are parts of our history that we are not proud of, as in many countries throughout the world. And this has been acknowledged in many ways, especially to our First Nations people through avenues including reconciliation, restitution, Native Land Titles and now, the Path to Treaty. Many have asked me the question what this actually means. Depending on your google search, treaty can be defined as ‘an agreement between states, nations or governments. This can include an agreement between Indigenous peoples and governments. There is no set form for what a treaty with Indigenous peoples should contain’. Queensland’s Path to Treaty includes the

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton formation of the Parliamentary Friends of First Nations People, and as one of the co-chairs, I want to bring unity on this journey through understanding and empathy. For all sides, and all hurts, to arrive at the united future sought. The voices that need to be heard includes those who have sacrificed so much that we can

be here today to go on that journey together. One example is our fallen and returned service men and women. As an MP I meet with so many who have suffered. Those who were the ‘Stolen Generation’ or have lived through the ramifications of discrimination. Those who survived pris-

FABULOUS 50S PLUS We are a fun, friendly, seniors social group,

oner of war camps, and the pogroms where whole families were decimated as part of what was termed the ‘Final Solution’. Those whose mothers or grandmothers were relegated to insane asylums, never seen again, when they suffered post-natal depression. The list goes on of the trauma from past beliefs including when Governments and advocates were trying to do ‘right’, now shown to be wrong. In every era, we only know what we know. You may say that is no excuse. However how will we be determined in 100 years’ time? It does not mean we should not be proud of who we are today as that will detract from the aim of healing. No one can say that in our histories that there were not hurts perpetrated. This era is about accepting that there is so much that we do not know, however we are prepared to learn from our combined pasts. That we will finally come together, as what we term very fondly ‘one mob’. And to do so, we need to acknowledge all hurts of those of the human spirit, not segmented by culture, skin colour or socio-economic status. Path to Treaty is about healing. For all Australians regardless of where we were born, what was perpetrated against us, or what our forebears did. It will not be an easy journey, and requires empathy, and forgiveness. Indigenous or otherwise, we are all Australian. And efforts that say otherwise, or segment us away from each other, will prevent what we all seek. To be truly one, with a place to call home together. And we should never be labeled as ‘wrong’ for celebrating being an ‘Aussie’. You cannot fix a wrong, by another wrong.

Celebrating Turtle Day For World Turtle Day, Sea Life Sunshine Coast Aquarium announced it’s releasing a children’s book to raise funds to help care for sea turtles in the wild. The gorgeous story, written and illustrated by Kirsty Esson - artist, turtle lover and Sea Life team member - tells the true story of Iluka, a hybrid turtle hatchling who came into the care of Sea Life Sunshine Coast in February 2020 and was released back into the ocean in March 2021. The new book will be available online and in the Aquarium’s gift store from Sunday onwards. Retailing at just $15, 100 per cent of profits from the sale of Iluka the Hybrid Hatchling will be donated to registered charity the Sea Life Trust, which will in turn utilise the funds on conservation campaigns, scientific research and inspiring education - all in the name of the sea turtle. Veterinary Nurse at Sea Life Sunshine Coast, Brittany Atwood said, “I loved working with Iluka while he was with us at Sea Life Sun-

shine Coast and I’m so pleased that we have created this beautiful book to tell his story and help raise funds for the Sea Life Trust.“ “The story explores the dangers turtles face in the wild and how Iluka was cared for and monitored ahead of being released back into the ocean.” Over the past 30 years, Sea Life Sunshine Coast has taken a proactive role in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of marine turtles to ensure that they are conserved and sustained for future generations. The Aquarium’s Turtle Rehabilitation Centre is behind the scenes due to the high level of care the team need to provide each individual turtle and the Queensland Government’s policy not to publicly display injured turtles at this time. Sea Life Sunshine Coast runs a Behind the Scenes Tour, which gives guests the unique opportunity to visit the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, meet the rescued sea turtles and learn how the team aid in their recovery.

Exhibition highlights significance of ‘country’

SPIRIT OF OLYMPIA - NOOSA CHORALE g

A stunning exhibition of art by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from many Indigenous nations celebrating the concept of ‘country’ has officially opened at the USC Art Gallery.The exhibition, called Country In Mind, has been curated by Christopher Bassi - an artist of Meriam (Torres Strait), Yupangathi (Cape York) and British descent - and features works that are primarily from the USC Art Collection. Mr Bassi said the exhibition included art from the Central Desert, the Kimberley, Arnhem Land and the Gulf country and showcased the many ways Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists make works of and about country. “For First Nations people the term ‘country’ is used as an expression of the relationship between an individual and their ancestral lands and seas,” he said. “Connection to country is inherent: we are born to it, it is how we identify ourselves, it is our family, our laws, our inheritance, and our legacy. “The artists in this exhibition represent the land as the link between spirituality,

WHAT’S ON

Wicked comes to Noosa Remember the classic line from The Wizard of Oz, “there’s no place like home” then you will love the pre-sequel as presented at Good Shepherd’s Senior Musical, ‘Wicked’, performing at The J in June. Based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, this much-loved musical has been performed on stage around the world. Little did we realise when Dorothy famously kept the ruby red slippers and triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West, that there was so much more to this glorious story. Some audience members might side with Glinda and believe, ‘they are a pair of shoes get over it’. However, we soon realise the reason why Elphaba desperately wants those shoes and that is because of her everlasting love for her sister. Wicked explores the incredible tale of an unlikely but profound friendship. Musical Director at Good Shepherd Andrea Donovan said this theme was evident on and off-stage with their Year 8-12 students. “Perhaps the largest cast to date - 80 plus students have developed a strong bond and everlasting memories,“ she said. “The musical journey has seen so much encouragement between the cast members as they all believe ‘everyone deserves the chance to fly’. The cast have surrendered themselves and have been especially brave as they have believed - ‘some things I cannot change, but ‘til I try I’ll never know’.” “We were a little nervous when we decided to stage Wicked. We are so blessed at Good Shepherd to have an inventive team that also believes deeply in offering intellectual and artistic opportunities to our students. It’s a very complex show but I am very proud of the production and all those involved in bringing it to

Bela Topovsek and Ketta Olopai bring the characters Elphaba and Madame Morrible to life in Wicked. the stage, we can’t wait for the lights to go on and the curtain to rise.” Adding to the exciting atmosphere, the musical will also feature a live orchestra made up of the College’s very own musicians. Under the guidance of prominent Conductor Antoni Bonetti AM, “Every musical number

will be backed by our very talented orchestra selected specifically to support the musical.“ Mr Bonetti, who also conducts the Noosa Orchestra said, “It has been a particularly invigorating experience working with the musicians of the band. These wonderful musicians (students and professionals) of varying stan-

dards, age and experience come from all works of life including staff of Good Shepherd.” Limited tickets are still available through The J Website for the four performances from Thursday 10 June - Saturday 12 June including a matinee performance on the Saturday. Tickets are $30 adults and $22 child/concession.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Pizza ahoy at El Cap’s Trevor Pepys reviews El Capitano, Hastings Street Gawd, this place has seen a lot of history, Trev was thinking the other night as he and the missus climbed the staircase to El Capitano, above Cafe le Monde. Back in another aeon, this neo-plantationstyle space housed Palmer’s when Leonie was at the height of her powers as the doyenne of Noosa cuisine, and partner Stef Fisher was the effusive sommelier and presence front of house. Oh boy, some rowdy nights were had here, inevitably ending around Geoff Hall’s beautifully-curved timber bar with drunken local sailors warbling songs of lost love, lingering lust, rod bend and other fantasies. (Perhaps this is where El Cap’s nautical motif comes from – a nod to the naughty past?) The music got louder but probably better when Jim Berardo brought in a white baby grand as the centrepiece for the eponymous Berardo’s. If you managed to get any sleep at the adjoining Ocean Breeze in those years, you had done well. So yes, there’s history within these walls, and Trev can actually remember some of it. In its latest refit, El Capitano has lost some of its swish, but retained a bit of the swashbuckle, which is heartening. “Old World Pizzas and Cocktails for New Age Sailors” is the marketing promise. Trev is more your old age sailor these days, and at Hastings Street prices, cocktails would break his pension, so are reserved for birthdays and anniversaries only. This wasn’t one of them so I ordered a bottle of the Collavento pinot grigio as we were sat down at a back-straining and somewhat precarious high table setting. After explaining the insurance-based perils of vertigo and old age, we were shown to a comfy banquette, which was a plus, but they were out of the Collavento, which was a minus. Fortunately, our attentive waitress actually seemed to know a little about that which she served (a rare thing these days), and recommended the 2019 Continental Platter pinot from the Mornington Peninsula ($46) as a substitute. Trev likes his grigio from where it was invented, but our girl was right about the Continental, a nice, dry quaffer which also happened to be the cheapest wine on the list, so double points. A pre-dinner drinking session with some visiting mates at the Rococo bar had taken the edge off our appetites a little, so we opted for sharing a salumi and mozzarella platter of three cured meats with pickled vegetables ($24.90), followed by the smoked leg ham and mushroom pizza from the bianca selection ($24). When Trev was a young and aspiring writer of some of the greatest unpublished novels in the English language, he lived for a time in a

Salumi mozzarella.

Salumi is the Italian equivalent, and in order to work with the light flavours of the mozzarella and the slightly sour offset of the pickled cauliflower and carrot, the cured meats have to pop, each one startling the palate. Sadly, this one was bland and the mozzarella gluggy to boot. The pizza needed to perform, and it did, garlic and thyme helping lift the flavours of the toppings. The base – “water, organic flour, salt, that’s it!” – was crunchy and flavoursome. Overall, a damn fine pizza, not in the league of Somedays, perhaps, but definitely best in street. The verdict: El Cap offers a solid eating experience in a party atmosphere, which extends well beyond Trev’s bedtime. Definitely worth a visit, if you’re not already a regular.

SOCIAL SCENE

The old showbiz routine By Jim Fagan Every morning around six o’clock, since the start of the year, Noosa showbiz whiz Ian Mackellar has woken up in his ‘Artist Retreat’ on a property at Cooroibah to feed Hope, his beloved dog, and greet other furry friends, Charlie, a golden retriever, Luca the horse and pet sheep Maggie-May who thinks she is a dog. Then it’s been back inside to email and phone his many contacts in the world of show business and put together a star-studded Noosa Alive! -- Noosa’s annual festival of the arts which starts for 10 days on July 15. Tickets went on sale last week and Ian reports all events are selling well. The opening night of one show, David Williamson’s Up for Grabs, has already sold out which is all good news for Ian as it means the festival magic he weaved with Noosa Longweekend and then Noosa Alive for ten years until 2018 is still there. Ian resumed his role as Festival Producer on January 6 and told Noosa Today it was “great to be back. “Those ten years were a wonderful experience. I saw a lot of changes, particularly how the festival developed into a far greater community event involving many of our cultural associations like Noosa Chorale, Noosa Orchestra and Noosa Film Society”. “To me part of the joy was bringing brilliant acts to Noosa, presenting events to people who would otherwise have had to travel a great distance to see and enjoy world class entertainment. I think it is very special. “This year I’m delighted Queensland Ballet is returning with two new works. This will be the seventh year QB has been our cultural partner. We also have a wonderful concert featuring Noosa Orchestra, the Oriana Choir and guest artist, flautist Jane Rutter. “One event that really excites me is the two exclusive boutique performances of -Cirque Bon-Bon’—featuring Cirque de Soleil performers which will close the festival. “Last March (2020) all the Cirque de Soleil world- wide performances were closed because of Covid and all artistic personnel were flown back to their respective cities. There was a cluster of performers in Queensland (who would otherwise be performing overseas) and I saw this unique opportunity to invite them to Noosa Alive! for these exclusive festival performances.” Ian said it would be a very special time for festival co-founder, David Williamson, who is celebrating his 50th anniversary in theatre, film and television. “There will be an elegant gala dinner in his honour with an up close and personal conversation with him. “He has written his “Memoirs” to be published at the end of this year and David is going to share excerpts. People he has loved and loathed and everything in between.”

Last December Ian interrupted his “sabbatical” to create the “12 Days to Christmas” entertainment program in Hastings Street. “It was quite a challenge. Hastings Street is a long street for entertainment. “12 Days of Christmas” was a great success, and the Hastings Street Association has invited me to discuss planning with the committee a 2021 Christmas program, something I will gain a lot of pleasure in doing. Before that, on September 11, Hastings Street will be closed off from 4pm to 8pm when the association presents Noosa Beach Classica on Hastings Street, a spectacular classic vintage car event displaying 300 cars which Ian describes as “coming from all over the land. “It’s a mammoth undertaking. I have been invited to provide the entertainment. We might feature several jazz quartets along the strip, may be a flapper or two, all towards creating a carnivale atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era. I’m looking forward to it. Really excited.” Ian has been more than 50 years in show business and was eight years old when he first appeared on television on Perth’s TVW Channel 7 and for the next 12 years made regular appearances as a vocalist and program host. “I co-hosted a live children’s programme for 3 years with the channel and sang a couple of songs every Saturday. “During that time I studied speech and drama, got into theatrics and appeared in professional productions as a juvenile. I was a little tyke (Artful Dodger) in ‘Oliver” and I was in ‘Mame.’ “I just loved the theatre from the first moment. It felt just like coming home. I’ve always been involved in entertainment and performing. It is my passion. I’ve also written a couple of musicals and had my own production company in Sydney. “I came to Noosa in 2002 and became heavily involved in Noosa Arts Theatre as a performer and director. I think I’ve directed and performed in something like 18 shows there. Ian’s next theatre gig is at Noosa Arts in November when he will create and direct “Encore”—a celebration of highlights from musicals, including “Funny Girl”, “Cabaret” and “West Side Story,” which have been presented by the theatre during the last 50 years. This will be followed with him directing a “very exciting musical” next year for Noosa Arts which will be announced later this year. Meanwhile, Ian still needs to bring together many elements towards making this year’s Noosa Alive! entertainment the star-spangled success it promises to be. And then the world of theatre and Hastings Street beckons and, of course, more quality time with Hope, Luca, Maggie-May, and Charlie.

Noosa favourite Jane Rutter will star with Noosa Orchestra.

Funding for art needed Sunshine Coast-based Australian Wearable Art Festival is counting on the community to support artists and to raise essential funds for the gala competition in May 2022. Millinery workshops and forums with leading Australian fashion designers and a Halloween fundraiser are just some of the activities they will be putting on in the next year. It is no secret that the arts industry has been one of the hardest hit during the COVID-19 pandemic with a national cross-industry survey conducted by the ABS indicating that between 16 and 23 March 2020 more than half of all arts and recreation businesses had ceased trading - the highest proportion of the 17 industries analysed. After a COVID-19 enforced-hiatus last year, the Australian Wearable Art Festival team led by curator Wendy Roe, is now firmly focussed on the future and providing a platform for locals and cultural tourists to explore their creativity and be inspired by wearable art. “There has been a lot of conversation in the last year on how the arts positively impact not only our mental health but our economy. It’s important for us as a community to rally around our artists and place a greater value on the benefit they provide,” Ms Roe said. “The Australian Wearable Art Festival is a spectacular event that really inspires audiences. It’s unexpected, authentic and a unique showcase of the best wearable art from across Australia. “While we have not been able to host our gala event this year, we are committed to delivering events that create a fusion of fashion and art, reigniting people’s love affair with wearable art and giving our artists a platform to showcase their own work. “Our workshops for this year provide opportunities for both artists and art lovers to learn skills such as weaving, papermaking, sculpting and floristry techniques - creating maybe a potential wearable art piece, a fascinator, jewellery or just providing a space to play and get creative. “We are also excited to be planning a wearable arts forum bringing fashion designers and artists together, a Halloween Ball that encourages people to experiment with costumery and we will also be taking wearable art to Fabrics of Multicultural Australia (FOMA) in Sydney.” With fundraising and supporting artists as a priority, the Australian Wearable Art Festival was thrilled to become a Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation partner in May this year, enabling the festival to accept donations and provide tax deductibility to its donors. Chair of the Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation, Professor Jennifer Radbourne, has welcomed the festival’s tenacity and adaptability to grow even through adversity. “It is already an exceptional local event attracting national attention but extending the event with the newly released program of activities means the Sunshine Coast community will benefit from engaged and dynamic art activity for a whole year not just one event,” Professor Radbourne said. “The Arts Foundation is aiming to transform the Sunshine Coast community by phil-

I also really enjoy helping people realise their creative vision and see them explore new skills and materials. There is something magical about giving people the freedom to be creative and seeing their excitement when they finish a piece.” As part of its ‘Healthy. Smart. Creative’ vision for the region, the Sunshine Coast Council is supportive of offering more culturally-based events and Councillor Jason O’Pray encourages the local community to book into a workshop or donate dollars through the Sunshine

Coast Art Foundation. “There are only positive outcomes from supporting events such the ‘Australian Wearable Art Festival’ as we build a community that is rich and colourful,” Cr O’Pray said. “We hope that these types of events can put the Sunshine Coast on the national cultural tourism map as well as provide unique and different experiences to our locals.” Workshop tickets start from $60.

SOCIAL SCENE

A splash of colour By Abbey Cannan The Tewantin community and visitors celebrated a new splash of colour in the town at the launch of their Street Art Party on Saturday. Tewantin Traders Association president Barbara Sheriff said the fresh art works truly brought Tewantin to life. “They been so good for the community and there was a great crowd of people in attendance to see the finished art works,“ she said. “We had two musicians playing - Di brown on keyboard and singing with Elvis on bongo drums and James Bingham on double bass, and Andrea Kerwin on guitar. “We also had the amazing Nova Star Productions stilt walkers roving the streets and Andino the Magician doing magic card tricks in the street.“ Mural artist Sarah Sculley, who painted the drain pipes and Bendigo Bank, spent the day doing some kids painting on to calico strips which are going to be tied around trees in Tewantin next week. “We also had Sue Hoskin, the mosaic artist that did the four mosaic wall murals, doing a hands on talk about how to mosaic,“ Barbara said. The mural that the community made will be put up on a wall in Tewantin in the coming weeks.

Enchanted evening in Peregian An enchanted evening of music, dance and champagne was enjoyed by locals under the stars at Peregian Beach last Saturday night and staged by the Peregian Beach Business Association to raise funds to light up the Peregian Village trees and square. Guests dressed in their most enchanting outfits, danced and partied to the sounds of an array of entertainers including DJ Niki De Saint and an all-star band featuring Aspy Jones, Caroline Trengove, Damian Campbell, Beck Findlay and Claire Evelynn. The event, officially opened by Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, was an outstanding success, organiser Lea Bye said. Lea said the event that was staged in the park showed residents what an excellent space it would be for residents to use after dark, just as the Village Vibe, held last month, made residents aware of the value of the Village Square as an after dark venue. “People were disappointed when we took the lights down,“ she said. Lea said the association expects the costs of lighting up the trees in the square and park to be about $20,000-$30,000. She said more fundraising events will be planned during the year and the association hoped Noosa Council would contribute to the cost.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

All swell after the calm As expected the wonderful weather we had last week/weekend faded away to blustery mid-week conditions and a rising swell. Prior to this change the bite was definitely on, especially as we pushed toward the new moon. It was a little quiet post moon but anglers in the know reported good fish and a nice mixed bag. The ocean temps are still sitting above 23C so the tuna and mackerel will still be around after things settle down with next week looking great. On the reefs anglers are noticing an influx of snapper with some fish hitting 80cm and over. Snapper in our waters can be caught year round and you need not travel out to the super deep waters to find them. Jew Shoal is always a great spot to find them up to mid 60cm, especially around the edges as these fish will patrol the edges. Low light and after the sun set is a golden time to fish this spot and being so close to the Noosa Bar makes for a quick return trip home. You can also pick up cobia and mackerel here while you drift about. Rigging techniques need to be considered in shallower waters and the 2 hook snood rig gives the best presentation. A great hook for this are the BKK red Octopus hooks in bulk packs. Sunshine Reef featured some cracking trout, sweetlip, snapper and tuna on it too. Now is a great time to learn how to use soft plastics with winter time perfect for this method of fishing. With so many styles and types available feel free to come in and ask us how it’s done. We can show you what’s working and tell you how to work it. From lines, leaders and outfits we have all you need to get started. Once the weather calms down why not try heading north toward Double Island. This area can be snapper, jewfish and Spanish central. There are a few small patches of ground that can hold decent fish at the right time of year and being closer to shore saves you from going out wide with protection from NW winds. This is also a great area in the shallower sub 20 meter mark to troll big baits on TT troll rigs and lures like Nomad DTX’s over the next few weeks while the Spanish are around until next year. Surf fishing continues to go through a change with regular reports of under size school jewfish coming from various gutters along the coast. Although too small to legally keep it goes to show that the big fish are sure to be close. Fresh bait is the name of the game so be sure to see if we have fresh mullet. As previously mentioned the BKK hook rig will also work wonders on jewies. Keep leaders around 40-50lb to give you some protection around rocks and teeth. GT’s are also featuring around the headlands and river mouths and you may also find some larger than average bream showing up as temperatures cool. With the waters clearing up from previous

Jason Milne caught this grass sweetlip and red throat emperor while fishing Sunshine Reef. rains the river continues to provide a mixed bag of species. Much like previous week’s it’s mainly flathead, bream, whiting, school jewies and trevally. You can target these with bait and lures and trying something new if you continue to do the same style always helps to lift your game. Rather than fish for anything why not single out a species that is consistent right now and learn about it. The humble flathead is a classic and toward the end of the year you will see fish in the river reaching that magic meter mark. These fish aren’t that easy to find but if you know about them and where they like to sit you could end up catching one. We carry a wide range of species specific lures from hard bodies, plastics, blades and rigs for bait anglers. Of course we all know the best approaches to catching them. Freshwater has seen a dip in activity from the cold spell and it’s still very much a case of using sounders to find the fish and work the schools with anything from an Ecogear ZX blade to a Jackall TN60. There is a minimal edge bite and this will probably be best during those hotter days where the winds aren’t as strong and the heat is trapped in the weed lines. As always ensure you have a SIPS permit before fishing the lakes and dams. These can be purchased online and get sent to your phone in a matter of

Noosa Gaff Rig Regatta just fun Following the Covid cancellation of last year’s Noosa Gaff Rig Regatta, the second edition of this fun-packed addition to the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club calendar will be held on Sunday, June 6, with entries open now. The regatta is part of the riverside Noosa Come Together Festival, held over the weekend of June 5-6, and will be a fundraiser for the yacht club’s Sailability program, which gives disabled people the opportunity to learn to sail. The Gaff Rig Regatta, founded in 2019, is basically for yachts with Gaff, Gunter or similar rigs, constructed of any material, new or old. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, as evidenced by this account from 2019 entrant Christopher Sly on Moonlight: “Moonlight’s first-ever sailing race, the inaugural Gaff Rig Regatta had a fleet ranging from a 23-foot pilot cutter, to our 12-foot Gunter-rigged clinker, whose crew was normally accustomed to leisurely cruising. After launching at Tewantin and motoring downriver, we found a fleet of gaff boats being rigged by their enthusiastic owners to the rhythmic thump of several bands entertaining the public at the Come Together Festival. “I had been in a couple of races over the years, but only as crew, I had never been at the helm, so I was a bit anxious about how this might work out. Our 11am race briefing eased some of my concerns, and a little mud map scratched out on the back of my race notes gave me a pretty good idea of the layout of the course. My concern was not about leading the charge and not knowing where to go. Rather, I wondered if we would be in touch with the rest of the fleet so we could follow their lead. “By the time we rounded the mark for the first time in the first race of three, the rest of the fleet was rapidly disappearing out of sight on the homeward leg. They generously delayed the start of the second until we were across the line, so with no time to waste, we joined the fray and managed to get in a comfortable position at the start. This time, the wind failed against the increasing tidal flow and we retired halfway through the first leg of the race so as to make it back to the starting line in plenty of time for the third and final race. A heads up from one of the committee had us positioned pretty well at the start as the five of us crossed the starting line. Things went a lot better for us this time around, finishing fourth in the fleet. “It was a great day on the water, made even more satisfying when we were awarded a bottle of Bundaberg Rum for coming fifth overall out of a fleet of five.” So, as Christopher’s report shows, the per-

son having the most fun at this regatta is not necessarily first across the line. The NYRC urges owners of all Sunshine Coast gaff-rigged yachts to come along and join in the fun with great camaraderie, interesting prizes and per-

fect sailing conditions in warm Noosa waters. Entry forms are available from the club at email office@nyrc.com.au. Entries are $50 until close at 5pm on Wednesday, June 2, late entries may be accepted at $70.

Inter-schools Regatta a great success The Stratogen Accounting Inter-school Regatta 2021 was a great success last weekend with 13 teams from five Schools across the Sunshine Coast competed in the 21st edition of the event. Fine weather with a lack of wind delayed the start on Saturday, however this didn’t dampen the students’ enthusiasm. The breeze built over the rest of the weekend allowing a total of 16 races to be held across both divisions. Students displayed both a high level of sailing skills and good camaraderie between the teams, and were encouraged by vocal parents who had a front row seat at the end of the jetty. Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club provided the perfect venue for viewing the action. A special thanks to all the volunteers, parents, team captains and school co-ordinators for their support and encouragement of junior sailing.

Kin Kin rivalry in the pink The Kin Kin community was in the pink again on Sunday taking the win from Noosa Council in the annual Pink Stumps Day. With 90 runs in the bag at half time Noosa Councillors were quietly confident of success but the home team triumphed with 121 runs in its allotted 20 overs in the second half on the Kin Kin Oval. It was a great turn out for a fun day that raised more than $4000 for the McGrath Breast Cancer Nurses Charity. And while most came for a good time some were there for the cricket with a few stand out players, thanks mostly to the juniors and a tradition of friendly competition. “There’s a strong held rivalry,” Cr Joe Jurisevic joked. “Everything is on the line.” The event was brought together by organisers Wanda Jardine and Anita Poteri with help from many others who donated raffle prizes, helped with the barbecue and baked cakes.

Olympian Raelene Boyle in Brisbane in 1982.

Olympian party for charity Beloved patron of Bloomhill Cancer Care and Olympian Raelene Boyle will celebrate making it to 70 with a ticketed party she hopes will raise $70,000 for the local charity. The fundraiser will take place on June 4 at Mercedes Benz Sunshine Coast. Raelene survived both breast and ovarian cancers, which she was diagnosed with after an extraordinary athletic career that included claiming silver Olympic medals and winning gold and silver at four Commonwealth Games. “You get nervous, at the milestone birthdays – you know, when I was first diagnosed I didn’t know if I’d make it to 50,” Raelene said. “You get nervous about whether it’s going to be the last big milestone. But here I am at 70 – I made it, and that’s 25 years post-diagnosis. So come celebrate with me!” As a 17-year-old, Raelene represented Australia at the Olympics in Mexico City 1968, claiming silver in the 200m; placing fourth in the 100m, and setting world junior records in both distances. Her world records took 12 years and eight years respectively, to be broken. She went on to collect three gold medals at the 1970 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. Raelene’s love of fitness, her personal drive and determination were all assets that helped her through her cancer experiences, which began in 1996 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “Exercise has been my life saver,” she said. “It might be a walk with the dog, a bike ride or mowing the lawn – but I’ve stayed active and that’s been great for mental health as well as recovering from cancer and cancer treatments. “There’s a heap of science around that, and that informs Bloomhill’s commitment to exercise which is part of the tailored support it provides people with cancer. It’s really excellent what Bloomhill is doing, and I want everyone with cancer to know about them. You’ll simply never regret walking through those doors.” Asked what was special about Bloomhill, Raelene said it was the quality care. “It’s a caring place,” she said. “You can come here and have counselling, have a massage, nurses look after you. The feel here is that you’re not walking into a clinical area, where you have to say, ‘I’ve got cancer’. You’re in a kindred spirit place. In this world of cancer there’s nothing worse than someone walking up to you and asking you how you are. At Bloomhill they ask – ‘what can we do for you’?” Funds raised will help Bloomhill continue to provide individualised support for people

munity nationwide, she is an advocate and her time is in demand – we’re so excited and honoured she is holding just one event for such an important milestone. “She and Judy have a great night planned, with a charity auction, drinks including locally-distilled spirits, and some quirky items for sale including 70 limited edition cupcakes. “We hope to raise $70,000. Please get behind us! Every dollar will go toward our nurses and allied health staff providing much-needed help to Coast residents with cancer.” In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic meant many of Bloomhill’s fundraising events had to be cancelled. Its Fundraise For Us program, run by Fundraising Lead Nikki Firmin, has seen many individuals and organisations rally to support Bloomhill, digging deep and rallying the community to ensure the charity has a sustainable future.

A place of memories Cody Pyne’s first memory, so he says, is watching his grandfather putting on the practice green at Noosa Golf Club. Cody reckons he was two at the time, and his pop – life member John Graham – would often take the toddler with him to the golf course. “I pretty much grew up there,” he said. “Then, when I started school, I’d sneak out and play a few holes with my mates.” Cody, now 19, learned the game from his grandfather and his dad, Shaun, still a member at Noosa, and inevitably joined the club as a junior member. He was a handy young player, competing in junior tournaments on the Sunshine Coast and playing regularly with his pop at Noosa. But there are other sporting temptations for Noosa teenagers, especially ones as talented as Cody Pyne. He turned his hand to soccer, rugby league and basketball – but it was a game of cricket that was to change his life. A student at St Theresa’s, Cody was selected to play in a cricket match at Toowoomba, where he did so well he was offered a scholarship to attend Ipswich Grammar School for the final years of his secondary education. These days he’s studying sport and exercise science at the University of the Sunshine Coast, and working a couple of part-time jobs to help with the expenses. And, along the way, he’s rekindled his love for golf. One day last year he gave notice of things to come. Playing with his dad, he scored 54 stableford points to easily win the daily competition. “When I got back into the game they gave me a handicap of 35,” Cody said, with just a hint of embarrassment. “It’s not that hard to score well when you’ve got two strokes on every hole.” That wasn’t the case last week, however. With his handicap trimmed to a more realistic 15, Cody Pyne went around in six-overpar 78 to score 45 stableford points and win the B grade section of Noosa’s Tuesday Club competition by five strokes. It was his best ever round, and gave the young man confidence that his game is headed in the right direction. It cut his handicap to 12, but that’s fine with Cody. “I’m just trying to get better and get my handicap down,” he said. He’s trying to play more golf, and builds his work and study schedule around golf at Noosa on Tuesdays and Saturdays when, more often than not, he tees it up with dad Shaun. Gratham stakes his claim as the best hickory player A committed band of golfers, dedicated to the preservation of the traditions of the game, get together regularly to test their skill playing golf with hickory clubs – just as the pioneers of the modern game did a century ago. Last weekend golfers from Royal Queensland, Brisbane, Toowoomba and Cooroy gathered at Cooroy for the Sunshine Coast Hickory Classic – the pinnacle of achievement for died-in-the-wool hickory players. And it was a Cooroy golfer – 73-year-old Gratham Leatherbarrow – who claimed the Bobby Jones Trophy after 36 holes of intense competition. Gratham, one of the most devoted supporters of hickory golf in our region, shot rounds of 79 and 73 with his antique wooden clubs to pip young gun George Giblett (76, 77) by a single stroke.. George, 20, a member of both Cooroy and Noosa, had earlier set a course record 67 while competing in Cooroy’s Monthly Medal on Saturday before swapping his regular clubs for hickories in the afternoon. Kaleb Hamilton, also from Cooroy, won the stableford section of the competition, from Royal Queensland’s Ross Bishop.

They don’t just play with hickory clubs – they also dress the part. Some of the successful players in the weekend’s Sunshine Coast Hickory Classic at Cooroy. Winter Golf Classic has proved it’s a winner. This year’s event, which begins on Monday, June 7 and continues until Friday, June 11, is a sell-out. Indeed, nearly 40 hopeful golfers have put their name down on a waiting list. Last year’s inaugural event was delayed until October as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. But those club golfers who competed in the 72-hole tournament, staged across four of the Sunshine Coast’s best courses, were thoroughly impressed. And the word has spread. Mark Brady, general manager of Noosa Springs and one of the event organisers, said he was hopeful next year’s event would be bigger. “The Classic was conceived to showcase the quality of our region’s courses and to attract visitors to the Sunshine Coast during a time when our winter sunshine is such an asset,” he said. “We’re still affected by COVID-19, of course, but by next year we will hopefully get strong contingents of golfers from the southern states and New Zealand.” This year’s Classic – a 72-hole stableford event, conducted in grades for men and women – begins at Maroochy River at 11am on June 7. Play continues at Peregian on June 8, Noosa Springs on June 10 and Twin Waters on June 11. There is a rest day on Wednesday, June 9. Girl power gives Noosa Springs a win Noosa Springs’ gun team of golfing girls performed magnificently to take down the highly rated Maroochy River 1 team 2-1 in junior pennants at Caloundra on Sunday. Noosa Springs’ No 1 player Sunday Moore narrowly lost to Julian Stavrov 1 down, but Jasmine Luna scored a great 6&5 win over Sienna Coghlan, and Sunday’s little sister Coco Moore beat Harrison Darr 3&2.

It was part of a promising day for Noosa teams. Noosa 1 beat Maroochy River 3 with Max Rogan and Cooper Liddell scoring comfortable wins, while Noosa Springs 2 and Noosa 2 were beaten narrowly. Junior pennant competition continues on Sunday at Noosa Golf Club. TJ again in the mix Mt Coolum professional T. J. King shot a solid three-under-par 67 to finish sixth in the Bowen Pro-Am on Saturday, as the national pro-am circuit began its north Queensland swing.

How to play a flop shot TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER The flop shot over a bunker to a tight flag is one of the scariest in golf. Surprisingly, you usually find that golfers who slice the ball are very good at playing the lob shot. They naturally come from outside when playing the ball with an open club face. These key points will help you play the shot. Firstly, only try to play the shot when the ball is sitting well and always use the most lofted club in your bag. Position the ball forward with an open stance and club face. The hand should be positioned just behind the ball, helping achieve a shallower angle of attack. Then play a three-quarter swing, making sure you return to impact in exactly the same position as address. Be sure to make an aggressive swing through the ball, allowing the loft of the club face to lift the ball into the air. Peter Heiniger, the principal of Heiniger Golf, is the head teaching professional at Noosa Springs.

A day of the Die Hards After last week-ends rugby clash between Dolphins and Maroochydore Swans, there can be no doubt about it: Dolphin Park is definitely the home of The Die Hards. Not only did the Reserve grade steal victory in the last minute, but the A Grade made it a double by doing exactly the same, claiming victory in the 39th minute. For the U/19s, Saturday saw them travel to Caloundra for an away game which they won 25-5.Back home at Dolphin Park the Women’s, Reserves and A grade, all recorded wins thus giving the club a clean sweep of four wins from four games. With the day being celebrated as Ladies Day, what could be a more fitting way for the Dolphins to not only say thank you, but also publicly acknowledge their contribution, then to have, in the words of club President Donald McKill, “....the Women’s team leading the clean sweep, with a devastating 69-5 win in their game.” In the reserve grade, it was a tough game with Dolphins scoring a last minute try to give them a19-14 win. After a disappointing result against University two weeks ago, this has given the Reggie’s a much- needed moral boost. In the A grade it was a similar result with the A’s winning in the 39th minute with a try by Jordan Methew, which resulted from a bulldozing run down the sideline by Jock Hanson. The As game in the first half was fairly tight affair with it being 29 minutes before a point was scored: this was by the Swans left wing, and with a conversion from the sideline it gave them a 7- point lead. However, Noosa hit back

quickly with a converted try which made it a 7 all game. Then another Noosa try just before half time saw Noosa go into the break with a 14-7 lead. In the second half the Swans scored, following good work by their centres, bring them up to 14 all: but, with what seemed to be much tighter rucking by the Swans, followed, by a successful penalty and a converted try, saw the Swans 24-14 up. With the Dolphins starting to feed their backs with more fast ball, another converted try, with just three minutes to go, had the score at 24-21swans. However, in what seemed the impossible, another converted try on the 39 th minute, saw the Dolphins home with a 28-24 final score. For the bigger part of the game, all indications are that, the Maroochy Swans had the upper hand in the rucks and their kicking was spot on: but despite this, having the Dolphins win, shows that their big hearts and never say die

attitude, is without a doubt, second to none. Speaking after the game President Donald McKill said, “It was a come from behind win for the home side: a side, who after trailing for most of the second half, has once again shown their incredible drive and determination. This win will ensure that our coaches and players will continue to work hard at training this week for their trip to Caloundra: I know you will join with me in wishing them continued success.” For Pirates senior teams, last weekend results were something of a mixed bag. For the under 18s who played at Pirate Park against Beachmere, it was a good result for this saw them continue to creep up the competition ladder. Down at Beerwah the fast- improving Open Ladies, played an 18 all draw against the second placed Beerwah. “Our Division 1 team,” said coach Brett Winkler, “had a disappointing result with Beerwah scoring in the last

few minutes giving them a 26-18 victory: it was a see-saw match that could have gone either way.” According to the club flyer, this weekend will see the three Senior Men’s Teams travel to Maroochydore to play the Swans. These are important games as they will determine the trajectory for the remainder of the season, as they enter the all- important second round of the competition. A huge day at Cooroy last weekend saw13 Junior games of footy played when the Pirates returned to their spiritual home at Christensen Oval. When teams from u/6-u/14, whose parents travelled from all over the Sunshine Coast, graced the three footy fields, there was plenty of action; and there is more to follow over the next two weeks. There will be another 4 junior games, this Friday night, followed by 8 more home games the following Saturday morning. With the once great game of Rugby League, being in such turmoil because of rules, poaching, tackling, and the sometimes,(unbelievable as it seems) social misconduct by a small number of overpaid morons, the importance of our junior competition cannot be emphasised enough. With good coaching of the true fundamentals, such as tackling, passing , positional play and above all --team work and sportsmanship, it will survive and go on to once again, hold the respect and admiration of the sporting fraternity. But as stated, the importance of the junior carnivals (such as we are now enjoying in Cooroy) has become more important than ever.

Gabriel Medina on fire at Rottnest.

Layne Beachley and Kirk Pengilly at the surf festival beach bar with the Jarratt last week.

Medina the conqueror Well, who would have thought little old Rottnest, home of the quokka and far too many atrocities to list here, would provide a surprisingly exciting climax to a surprisingly exciting Australian leg of the World Championship Tour. Of course the theme of the tour, from Merewether to Narrabeen to Margies and finally Rotters, has been two solid turns and punt it or bust, but once you get used to the idea that this how you win in closeouts, it’s pretty good to watch. I only caught the view from the beach (or VIP bar if you must) for a couple of hours on finals day at Narrabeen, but I’ve followed it pretty closely on Fox Sports, on the Mac and sometimes even on the iPhone, and I’m calling this unlikely Covid collection of secondrate locations one of the best Australian legs in years. Of course, it doesn’t seem quite right without Bells, and it would have been lovely to see how the rookies handled getting pitted behind the rock at Snapper or at The Box, but the city beach breaks has their great moments, and the West was pure magic. For the rookies, it’s certainly been young Morgan Cibilic’s season, although why he didn’t try to score an eight plus on something over the final 15 minutes of the Rottnest final is beyond me. But what a talent he is! For mine, he has the power of a Simon Anderson and the sweet lines of a Terry Fitzgerald, but maybe that’s because the first time I saw him compete was a few weeks back at Narrabeen, where those greats of old dominated for so long. In the women’s, Hawaii’s Carissa Moore has dominated throughout with some of the most beautiful surfing of her distinguished career, but at Rottnest I was stoked to see Sally Fitzgibbons have her day in the sun, and I’d love to see her power on to a world title this year, and maybe an Olympic gold. And a special mention for France’s Joanne DeFay, whose surfing has always been pretty to watch but has suddenly become a very canny competitor, and it’s making a huge difference to her results. And finally, when it comes to the Brazilian Storm – and please overlook the fact that at the start of the season I declared them dead in the water - we’ve been making such a fuss about reigning world champ Italo Ferreira for the past year or two that we’ve forgotten about good old Gabby Medina, now partnered up and completely Charlie-free, relaxed and surf54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 May, 2021

His carves are as good as his airs, and when he brings his full repertoire to the table, it is beautiful to watch, as it was this week at Rottnest. Behind the scenes at Noosa fest We’re used to the breakfast TV shows popping up to do the weather spots on location around Noosa’s big events, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like the media circus behind the scenes at last week’s surf festival.

Meanwhile, hidden away in a quiet corner of South Pacific Resort, Australia’s Surfing Life boss Ray Bisschop had set up a surfer’s den interview set in one of the spacious apartments, with a succession of surf luminaries trooping through the tropical gardens over a couple of days to present themselves for interview for the Surfing Life TV series, also to be seen on Fuel. Ray and his crew also used the collection of world champion’s surfboards at Noosa’s brand-new surf museum as a suitable backdrop for their interview with seven-times world champ Layne Beachley. Even deeper behind the scenes, Keith Grisman’s large collection of boards at the museum was the subject of several meetings with a

team of researchers from ABC TV and Fremantle’s major new surf-related drama series for 2022, Barons. Aiming at authenticity for this dramatization of the birth of the surf industry in the early 1970s, the production will use up to 40 of the 800 plus boards in the Grisman collection over the next few months of filming in Sydney and the NSW Central Coast, with surf film camera wizard Taylor Steele ensuring that the water action is for real. It’s an exciting venture for the new museum, which aims to provide links between surfing and the broader community, and is working with local surfing clubs and the Noosa World Surfing Reserve to achieve that.

AUCTIONS SHINE THROUGH IN BUSY TIME PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY AUCTIONS have shown their benefit as a means of providing transparent negotiating in a time of when buyers and sellers try to navigate the multi-offer maze. In such a buoyant market, the auction process is seen as the best way to determine what the market is prepared to pay for a property. Hinternoosa’s Kess Prior has decided to move towards auctions again rather than private treaty because in the current market buyers are much more desperate to secure a property. “They have been very unhappy with the multiple offer situation in such a short space of time, which is often within days of the property hitting the market,’’ she said. “The auction process is a transparent and clear method of sale. “It also allows the buyers more time, as the current auction campaign is running at three weeks maximum.

A jubilant Chris Miller after the record sale for Noosa Hill Resort. 238266

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car architect-designed house with pool at 47 Spoonbill St, Peregian Beach, goes to auction Saturday, May 29, at 1pm. 238266

“Pre Covid, auctions were never a strong method of sale in the Noosa hinterland. Now, it couldn’t be better. “Every property we have listed for auction has sold under the hammer and for well over the reserve. “Buyers and sellers are happy with the process. “They are able to put forth their offer in an open and transparent forum.’’ That was seen on Friday and Saturday when Hinternoosa took two properties to auction with great success. Kess, together with Hinternoosa colleague Graham Smith, took the threebedroom, two-bathroom house on 2.88ha at 64 Binalong Rd, Pinbarren, to auction Friday. “It was a cracking cracking property, with 10 registered bidders,’’ Kess said. “Two fought it out to $1,312,500.’’ The buyer was from Doonan and the underbidder from Rockhampton. Other interest was from South east Queensland, including Brisbane, as well as phone from Sydney. The buyers were coming from a very large house and wanting to enjoy the country setting. On Saturday, Kess and Graham put the

four-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront house with pool at 46 Cooran Ct, Noosa Heads, to the market. “It was very good bidding,’’ Graham said. “Bidding started at $4.6m then got to $4.825m. “Two parties from Brisbane fought it out in $25,000 and $75,000 lots to $5.350m. “Both were familiar with the area, and had holidayed here. “The eventual buyers were staying in Mosman Ct. “When the property first went on the market, these people made an offer sight unseen. “They later withdrew it as they realised it was worth more. “They later said it was the first auction they had been to outside of charity events with rugby jerseys.’’ CAPE COD CHARM Rob Spencer of Sunshine Beach Real Estate had five registered bidders on Saturday for the 9 Paul St, Noosa Heads, auction. Bidding for the three-bedroom, twobathroom Cape Cod-style house started at $1m and went straight to $1.2m. There was a crowd of 50-60 on hand to see it come down to a battle in two with a

local couple the last ones standing and the bidding at $1.501m. The appeal was the quiet location and character of the home, Rob said. “It had a feel-good aspect. The Cape Cod charm came into play.’’ MARATHON EFFORT It was a frantic Friday for Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Chris Miller with more than 100 bids for the two-bedroom, twobathroom penthouse apartment 6/26 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads. Saturday has long been the domain of auctions, however with the increase in property numbers, also registered bidders, agents have widened the window of opportunity to Friday and Sunday. Last weekend was the perfect example for Tom Offermann Real Estate. On Friday, after an extraordinarily strong campaign for the Noosa Hill Resort penthouse apartment, Chris Miller still had three of the seven registered bidders still in the action after 45-minutes. The hammer finally fell at $1.135m with the Melbourne buyers looking forward to sundowners from their private rooftop terrace and the spectacular views that go with it.

Chris was ecstatic with the result, delivering a new record for Noosa Hill Resort. On Sunday, auction focus was on an acreage site - the Roark Walsh-listed 19 Minura Ct, Doonan. The property attracted 13 registered bidders. It started at $700,000 and the eventual buyers were a young local young family who secured their dream house site for $995,000. LUCKY 13 Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents had 13 registered bidders on Friday for the fourbedroom, two-bathroom family house with pool at 13 Aspera Pl, Noosaville. On 1309sq m with natural bushland surrounds, the stylish home saw bidding from $1.211m to $1.71m where it sold to local buyers looking for a family home. Other interest was primarily Noosa and surrounds, with three registered for on-line bidding. Nathan next has a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 106 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, set for auction at 2pm on Wednesday, June 9. OH, SO INVITING With one of the best driveways in the hinterland, there was a real sense of arrival - and expectation - for the auction of 142 Mary River Rd, Cooroy, on Saturday morning. On offer was the four-bedroom, threebathroom house with pool, separate guest accommodation plus stables, shed and dam on 8.4730ha. Marketed by Robyn Kildey and Eliot Krause of Countryside Realty, the auction even attracted the presence of awardwinning builder Garth Chapman for what he considered one of his favourites. Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald sought an opening bid in the mid to high $2million range. With two phone bidders and three others present, the property was sold at auction for $2.9m so starting another chapter for the landmark property. BEAUTY AT PEREGIAN The beauty of Peregian Beach is its natural appeal - ocean one side and national park the other. And they are probably less than a kilometre apart.

The four-bedroom house with pool and separate accommodation on 8.4730ha at 142 Mary River Rd, Cooroy, sold under the hammer Saturday for $2.9m. 238266 of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car architect-designed house with pool at 47 Spoonbill St, Peregian Beach, to auction. “The response so far has been no investors,’’ Roark said. “They are all people who want to live here. “It’s a great house. Nine years old yet it presents as new. “Designed by Bark Architects, it’s timeless. “Architect designed homes stand out … like acreage in town. “It’s on a long block so it’s like living in the bush.’’ The appeal is the open living, Roark said. “When you stand at the kitchen bench, you are connected to the lounge, dining and pool. “Polycarbonate walls allow the filtered light through. The concrete slab in the dining area is all heated. “There is no need for air-conditioning ... it’s all cross-flow ventilation so it’s cool in summer, warm in winter. “There is no waste space … lots of storage and cleverly designed areas for entertaining.’’ Created from sustainable materials and respecting the natural flow of the land, Spoonbill House was designed to preserve and celebrate the existing trees resulting in the ultimate bush to beach house. TURNING HEADS Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate has been going from one phone call to another in the lead-up to the auction Saturday, May 29, at 12pm of 49/5

ON THE COVER

NOOSA HINTERLAND ESCAPE DELIVERS ON EVERY FRONT HAVE you quietly dreamt of that secluded hinterland escape that totally delivers your family, pets and friends with a magnificent environment to daily treasure. Often it is a perfectly situated country property with easy access to vibrant country villages, magnificent beaches and a river with ocean access. Well, here it be. This incredibly well located acreage is a mere ten minutes sealed road drive to the Noosa River and from there a joyful hop step and jump into the ocean at Noosa Main Beach. You owe it to yourself to have a good look over and around this wonderful Noosa Hinterland property. A spacious modern home with a great floor plan sits on the ridge looking over fenced paddocks and shoreline of majestic Lake Macdonald. Existing infrastructure is in place to plan and adjust to suit your requirements, whether it be horses, livestock or agricultural pursuits. It is somewhat of a wildlife reserve as you enter through an electric sliding gate, past the original farmhouse and modern three bay shed. On the drive up to the main house magpie geese stroll the field, black swans grace the shallows of Six Mile creek and there’s an occasional sighting of magnificent brolga. A broad roofline and deep covered verandahs set the scene for an exceptionally generous hinterland home abounds in comfort and quality appointments. Large format windows and doors accentuate livability and function, while three metre down lit ceilings catch light and spread a soft glow across wall free living and rich hardwood floors. The hub of the home is anchored by a beautifully crafted bookcase and the winter

warmth of an internal combustion fireplace. A crisp white kitchen sports a Smeg white six burner gas oven, waterfall stone island bench and the luxury of a large butler’s pantry with second sink and preparation bench. Ducted air-conditioning is rarely in use given a prevailing breeze across the waters of the lake. The instantly recognised shape of Mt Cooroy stands as a sentinel in the picturesque landscape. Set privately away in the eastern wing an indulgent large main bedroom holds a massive walk- in wardrobe and sleekly styled ensuite with direct access on to the wide wrap around verandahs. There is a home office nearby and in the other wing are four bedrooms, bathroom, large laundry with a second powder room and direct access to a large automatic door three vehicle garage and beyond to a stable in the field for the family horses. The original farm cottage will benefit greatly from love and elbow grease. Granted residential approval it could well become handy passive income, in addition to an existing NBN contract supplying a healthy annual return. For those that love the hinterland lifestyle within easy drive of the beaches and Laguna Bay minutes away; this fine Noosa Hinterland property is a winner on every front. Facts: 13.32 hectares, triple car automatic door garage/internal access, 3 bay (powered)machinery shed, original farm cottage, 2 powder rooms, approximately 60,000 litres underground rainwater tanks, fenced paddocks, outbuildings, fenced paddocks, Lake Macdonald frontage, school bus to gate, Cooroy and Tewantin/ ten minutes sealed road. ●

WE LOVE GIVING BACK THE REAL THING OLIVIER MILLER PRINCIPAL LAGUNA REAL ESTATE 0419 472 071

OVER the years Laguna Real Estate has won many community awards, which we are very proud about. We do not do it for the recognition, but for the love of giving back to our community who has supported us wholeheartedly over the 43 years of Laguna Real Estate’s existence. It is quite amazing how many houses, units, apartments, land, and businesses we have sold over those 40 odd years and its incredible how many people, families and investors we have assisted to help build their dreams. Its the local central community we strive to support through our sponsorships. For more than 40 years we have been heavily involved with the Red Cross and our donations have stayed in town which has

assisted our local needy. The Noosa Come Together Festival of which we are the lead sponsor, raise’s money to help the disabled to participate in sporting programs. Relay for Life is a fundraiser for cancer and our team are enthusiastic participants who regularly give their time to raise money to help fight this insidious disease. We are always on hand to assist Santa’s Classy Helpers who ensure disadvantaged families are not forgotten at Christmas. Once again, this year we are one of the sponsors of the Noosa Prostate Association, their fund-raising efforts have been phenomenal, and we are proud to be a little part of their big picture. Just last week saw us sponsor the first stage of the Noosa Beach Classic Car Show, with the main event happening Sunday, 18 July. Supporting these local events promotes Noosa Tourism. Finally, our $20,000 giveaway to one of our Sellers who lists their property with Laguna Real Estate is our way of saying a big thank you for trusting us to sell your

most valuable asset. The $20,000 cash cheque will be drawn at our property expo in September. You need to be in it to win it - call one of our sales professionals today on 1800 357 528 if you would like to be involved. ●
