Seahorses ride the waves for 10 years

By Margie Maccoll It was 10 years to the day on Saturday the Seahorse Nippers program began in Noosa to give children with a disability an opportunity to join in a nippers program and gain confidence in the ocean.

The smiles on their faces show what it means to them. Steve and Nikki Mawby joined Noosa Surf Lifesavers from Pambula Beach NSW where a modified nippers program had been developed by a couple of families with children with special needs.

After moving to Noosa, Steve and Nikki contacted the group for help to bring something similar to Noosa.

“Peter and Michelle Booth helped us launch that program here 10 years ago today,” Steve said on Saturday.

Traffic concerns

By Phil Jarratt

12497020-DL22-21

We’re still a long way off city-style traffic and parking problems, but traffic congestion around Noosa is starting to have a major impact on lifestyle and how residents manage

their daily routines, according to a new survey.

Councillor Brian Stockwell polled more than 300 Noosa Shire residents through an online survey he developed and promoted in his community newsletter and on Facebook community pages.

“The motivation stemmed from hearing a lot of anecdotal concerns being expressed,” Cr Stockwell said.

“I wanted to get a better sample of the community to drive my deliberations on policy, planning and budgetary decisions in Council.

Around 300 people confirmed concerns about the significant impact of traffic not only in tourist hotspots, but also the flow-on effects on shopping journeys and school drop-offs and pick-ups.

Adrian Reed awaits his turn to race up The Hill.

Win passes to Hill Climb The Noosa Winter Hill Climb Motorsport celebrates its 25th anniversary next month and is giving away six weekend passes, valued at $25 each, to Noosa Today readers.

“The Noosa Hill Climb event is a testimony to 25 years of blood, sweat and tears from hundreds of club members and volunteers,“ Noosa Beach Classic Car Club president Mike Rider said.

“They have created and maintained a unique motorsport event that continues to offer a challenging experience for all the contemporary and Classic cars and drivers that flock to take up the challenge. It remains a thriving and thrilling competition for those who dare.“ Long term club member, Daryl Shaw said, “As one of the founding members of the club and a motorsport man, I have raced my Jaguar up the Hill many times and am proud to still be involved in the 25th anniversary year of this celebrated Hill Climb. Long may it continue!“ “2022 is an iconic year for the Noosa Hill Climb celebrating its 25th anniversary,“ Hill Climb directors Jonathan Carroll and Scott Bingham said.

As part of this celebration for the first time in its history a two round point scoring championship will take place, with the Winter Round 1 occurring from 3-5 June and the Summer Round 2 being held from 21-23 October.

The event is pleased to welcome back Reed & Co Estate Agents as major sponsor for the

The Reserve Bank this week increased interest rates for the first time in more than 11 years, with a 25-basis-point hike taking the cash rate target to 0.35 per cent.

What will that mean for the hip pocket? With the major banks already passing it on, the rate rise will add more than $50 a month to repayments on a $500,000 mortgage, and double that on a milliondollar loan. St Vincent De Paul says it will be another kick in the teeth for people living in poverty who are already stretching their dollars to cover rising costs of living.

Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe described it as a normalising of conditions after “extraordinary monetary support“ was put in place during the pandemic.

Mr Lowe said it was the combination of a higher than expected inflation and evidence that workers were starting to get bigger wage increases as a result of a low four per cent unemployment rate that meant the time for a rate rise was right, with more interest rate rises expected to follow.

In other happenings Sunday is Mother’s Day. Said to have originated as a spring festival in Ancient Greek and Roman times to honour maternal Gods and adapted by the Christians to honour the Virgin Mary, it has become a day dedicated to all mothers.

We wish all mothers a happy Mother’s Day.

Traffic is getting us down From page 1 “This is no longer just a few people complaining at peak holiday times”, he said, “this is an issue year-round, week in and week out, for Noosa residents. About half the respondents reported that traffic congestion and difficulty finding a car park is having a moderate to major impact on their enjoyment of the Noosa lifestyle”.

Two-thirds reported they regularly experienced traffic congestion in the Main Beach – National Park precinct, with nearly threequarters reporting regularly having difficulty finding a car park in there. Traffic congestion was also an issue for 44 per cent of respondents around their local shopping centre during peak periods and markets or events.

Two in three people suggested they were regularly forced to rethink when and where they go to the shops, beach or work because they thought it would be too difficult to find a car park.Cr Stockwell said it was clear people were choosing to avoid areas, rather than get stuck in traffic.

“What is a little disappointing is the low number of people who are choosing to walk, ride or catch a bus rather than their regular drive to work, school the shops or the beach.

Just 13 per cent suggested they did this more frequently than once a fortnight.

“There is clearly a need for more investment in the implementation of our Cycling and Walking Strategy to reduce the barriers that are preventing people making the switch.”

With the shire embarking on a Destination Management Plan, the survey also asked residents their concerns about the impacts of further unplanned growth.

Respondents ranked traffic congestion and parking around tourist precincts, too many cars on Teewah Beach and congestion and conflicts between people and powered craft on the Noosa River as having the greatest impact on Noosa’s reputation as a tourist destination.

“When asked what the one thing they would do to reduce the impact of increased traffic congestion, parking problems and visi-

Frequency of avoided trips. tors on their lifestyle and/or the Noosa Brand, there were two popular strategies identified,” Cr Stockwell said.

“The first was to increase the frequency of small, potentially electric, free buses, together with increased park and ride options away from Hastings Street, with the second calling for tougher action to achieve a cap for both visitors and residents. Forty per cent of all responses were focussed on these two suggestions.”

Other approaches suggested by respondents included: 13 per cent suggested a range of options for limiting vehicles around the Hastings Street precinct, from complete bans during peak times to major infrastructure to allow one way traffic flows.

13 per cent suggested they would introduce paid car parking, with many suggesting some form of resident permits which facilitated a discount price for locals.

The most frequently raised suggestion for the hinterland was fixing the two major intersections in Cooroy.

About 75 per cent of all respondents supported or strongly supported new initiatives to cap vehicle numbers going to the North Shore, and cap anchoring and mooring on the lower Noosa River.

Cr Stockwell concluded: “With 50 per cent of respondents suggesting that growth in traffic

Seahorses ride the waves

Seahorse Nippers long term volunteers Jen Glassack, Craig Moore, Steve Freckelton, Lorna Macchia, Little Jo Power, Nikki Maybe, Steve Mawby and Donald McKill.

From page 1 From a handful of people, the program that runs for four weeks twice a year has evolved and grown. There were about 35 children on Saturday but some weeks up to 50 children take part in the program assisted by about 80 volunteers, Steve said.

Children like Daisy, who has been coming along with carer Bianca for the past year or two, turn up for about an hour on a Saturday morning.

“It gets all the kids involved in a community activity they wouldn’t otherwise be able to be involved in,” Bianca said.

“She loves it.”

Steve said the morning begins with modified nipper beach activities including flag races.

An obstacle course teaches the kids to negotiate across uneven ground and going through tunnels simulating the experience of walking into the surf and going under waves.

Then everyone hits the water to ride body boards and kayaks in a safe and assisted way.

“It’s about participation and building confidence in the water and on the beach,” Steve said.

Many volunteers have returned year after year, working as a team to provide the program, and the joy they see on the faces of the kids made it so satisfying, Steve said.

Noosa was the first club in Queensland to bring in the program and others are now following in their footsteps.

The Pub Test

Can you sway Wide Bay? PHIL JARRATT and the circle of beer swillers put the issues of the day to the Pub Test Following the positive reaction to our little Friday night beers rant about the rich a couple of weeks ago, we’ve decided to formalise these sessions under the banner of The Pub Test and publish a couple leading up to the 21 May election. Kind of like the leaders’ debates, but with no leaders and plenty of beer.

The subject, of course, was the imminent Federal election and whether our votes would count for much in a safe LNP seat with a 13.1 per cent margin. Were there any members of our beer circle wanting change? Our numbers had expanded slightly, including our first woman, so who knew? There was only one way to find out.

Cold beers good and ready. Supplied. ger and more prolific, which brings us to true representation.

In federal politics, you could argue that Noosa doesn’t have it.

You can read more on this in A Wide Bay snapshot (page?), but in a nutshell, when our sprawling electorate was created at Federation 121 years ago, farming and mining were the only games in town, and it made sense to unite the Noosa River settlements with the much larger and well-established service centres of Gympie and Maryborough.

We were all on the same page, and now we’re not.

The best evidence of this is that in the 2019 federal election Noosa’s vote alone would have been lineball, probably just going to the ALP on Green preferences. (In three polling booths, Peregian Beach, Cooran and Boreen Point, that is exactly the way the vote went.)

So a stand-alone Noosa would be a notional swing seat, much as it is in the Queensland Parliament. But that’s not the world we live in.

Back to the beer circle.

Pack leader: “So how do you exercise a protest vote in Wide Bay?” One-pot screamer: “Look, Mr Potato Head could win that seat for the LNP, but I think people are becoming more conscious of their vote and are taking notice of policies rather than getting caught up in personality politics.

I live in hope that people will become more informed voters, but I can’t see any change in Wide Bay this election.”

A slightly salty voice: “And the electorate is so diverse, ranging from working class Maryborough to conservative Gympie and way out to Murgon and Cherbourg, where there all kinds of socio-economic issues. It’s huge and we’re just like this rich suburb attached to it.

The only way you’re going to change that is to do a gerrymander!”

One-pot: “The fact that it’s a safe LNP seat is not entirely a bad thing when you consider that we’ve got someone there [Llew O’Brien since 2016] who’s prepared to cross the floor on issues of conscience. I wonder if that would have happened if this was a marginal seat.”

A feminine voice: “We started a Voices group in Wide Bay at the end of last year and we failed miserably. We canvassed for a candidate, with someone in Maryborough helping with that, but despite our best endeavours, we just couldn’t find a candidate so the group lost its momentum.

“But I believe if we’d had more lead time and the right person had popped up, we could have got people behind us. And of course you need massive momentum in Wide Bay to have any kind of impact, and none of the candidates we have now have anything like that.”

Pack leader: “If you live in Noosa and you don’t like the federal government, who are you going to vote for? There are nine challengers and none of them excites.”

A voice: “You can make it a protest vote, particularly for an Independent. And there’s a real move towards independents across Australia, which is interesting because if you look at the Constitution, there’s no mention of political parties, only elected representatives. That’s first principles of a democracy. Only a fraction of the population belongs to a political party and yet they occupy about 95 per cent of the seats in parliament. Personally, I believe that independents are worth supporting because they can offer true representation, and even if they don’t win, the parties take notice of swings against them and they get a strong message.”

This was a promising start because it cut across two important issues – the value of independents and the value of true representation. True to the Constitution, independent MPs were common in the parliament during the first half of the 20th century, but after World War II, Australia’s political party system stabilised, leaving independents with less room to move. In fact there were no independents elected between 1940 and 1990.

“Former North Sydney MP Ted Mack was the first of the modern independents, and there’ve been several since,” electoral expert Antony Green recently told the ABC. “And there’s five in the parliament at the moment. This is just a sign of the decline of the major-party vote. If you go back to the 1970s, the two major parties polled 90 per cent of the vote, and it fell below 80 per cent for the first time in the 1990s and is dipping below 70 per cent these days.”

In the time of Teal (somewhere between green and blue) and the Voices movement providing strong support networks in many seats, the independents, like our own Sandy Bolton in the state house, are only going to get stron-

The Pub Test Salty voice: “I find it strange that the Teal army hasn’t grown in Noosa the way it has in places like the eastern suburbs and northern beaches of Sydney where there’s a similar demographic.

It’s happening here in state politics with Sandy, but we’re not doing it locally at the federal level. There should be more of an upwelling.”

Feminine voice: “There’s no doubt that people will get behind an issue that has local ramifications. You only have to look back to the fight against the Traveston dam. But how do you tap into that federally?”

The group shifted gears to look at the federal issues that Noosa people are concerned about.

Surprise, surprise, aged care was right up there.

Feminine voice: “I saw some interesting stats on ageing demographics and basically when you hit 65, no matter what your voting history might have been, you vote conservative.”

Another voice: “And Noosa has the oldest demographic in Queensland.”

Pack leader: “The median age of Queenslanders is 36. In Noosa it’s 45, and more than 20 per cent are over 65.

“I’m over 65 so I can speak for the geriatrics. I accept that as people get older they get more conservative, in all ways including politically.

“But there might be a game-changer this time around, because right now we’re old and scared, and we might be scared enough to vote for change. We’re scared about climate change, about the cost of living, about aged care, about pandemics, about national security and much more.

“I think a lot of people feel like they’ve been robbed of a secure retirement in Noosa where, traditionally, bad things happen somewhere else.”

One-pot: “At the national level, I think that if the

ber the smirk, and go, nah, not going to vote for ScoMo.” The beer circle is getting restless, time for last drinks. We’ve lightly talked about gerrymandering, but we all know that a bunch of disgruntled electors don’t pull the strings on redistribution. But we can dream, can’t we?

At the other end of the electorate, Maryborough has no shortage of pubs. present government gets back in it will be so disheartening for a lot of people, given the track record and the way ScoMo has handled the key issues. But in Wide Bay we have a member who is actually popular and has credibility, so if you want to change the government there’s no point attacking Llew, you go after ScoMo.

“It won’t make any difference in Wide Bay in 2022, but everything could be very different if Llew is in Opposition.”

From the concerns of the old, the beer circle (now on its third) moved to the issues of the young.

Feminine voice: “If you talk to anyone under 30 all they care about is climate change.

“There’s been a record-breaking voter registration amongst the young for that reason. They want to have a say.

“Of course with our median age here that’s not going to mean much, but it’s good for the country.”

Another voice: “Whatever age you are, the past few years has been a real wake-up call on

climate change. It’s real and it’s here. Even the local Member, who was making noises very much like a climate change denier a few years ago, has gone very quiet on the issue.”

Salty voice: “Politicians on both sides seem to think that if they keep saying zero emissions by 2050 that will get them re-elected without having to do anything, but it’s not enough and people are starting to recognise that.”

Feminine voice: As the only woman here, I want to remind you all that there are a lot of female swinging voters out there who are going to have a really hard time voting for Morrison and the LNP after the way the issues have been handled.

“Will this translate into a swing against the government on women’s issues?

“It could, and I think Labor is very aware of it.

“I talk to a lot of women who are politically disengaged and yet feel quite strongly about women’s issues, and maybe they’re going to get to the ballot box and remem-

Salty voice: “We should join [adjacent electorate] Fairfax.”

Pack leader: “That sounds a bit too close to amalgamation.”

Salty voice: “Maybe, but the fact is that Fairfax has been changed a few times and it’s a quite small urban electorate whereas we’re a geographically huge rural electorate. When you look at the towns within Fairfax, like Eumundi, Yandina and Nambour, their demographic is changing quickly and becoming more like ours.”

Salty old voice: “I think we have to be wary of generalisations about the area because it’s changing so much and so fast.

“When you drive through the Mary Valley you can see the way the villages are changing and getting more progressive.

Even Maryborough, in the midst of its empty shops and problems, has a progressive element that’s growing, mainly because of its affordability.

“The demographic is shifting rapidly because the old people who will never change the way they vote are dying and being replaced by young people who will.

Kandanga is an example of how quickly that change is happening.”

Pack leader: “Housing affordability and demographic change might one day give Noosa sway over Wide Bay but not in 2022. On a closing note, do you think any of our political leaders has spelt out a vision for Australia?”

All: Nah.

A snapshot of the Wide Bay electorate

Smile Make Over State of the art facilities with no surprise expenses.

1961, when Labor’s second decade of power in Wide Bay began with the election of Brendan Hansen, who held it until 1974.

The Country Party’s Clarrie Millar held it until his retirement in 1990, when the Nationals’ Warren Truss won election, holding the seat until retiring in 2016 when current member Llew O’Brien was elected.

So conservative support has been rusted on for almost half a century, but it also has to be acknowledged that the long-serving local members have been good ones, none more so than Warren Truss, who was widely respected on both sides of the house and served as Nationals’ leader, a cabinet minister and finally as Deputy Prime Minister.

Llew O’Brien has now won two elections, with a five per cent swing towards him in 2019.

Apart from the considerable weight of history, the main reason Labor in opposition over the past decade hasn’t made a dint in the LNP margin is that it hasn’t tried, its eyes on more winnable seats.

If we’re going to see change in Wide Bay in the foreseeable future, it’s going to be led by the Greens, who secured more than 18 per cent of the Noosa polls in 2019.

The 107,000 electors in Wide Bay are pretty much shared evenly between Maryborough, Gympie and Noosa, but as housing affordability and sea and tree changers spread the younger population base around, the electorate demographic is changing rapidly.

The creation of the seat of Wide Bay at Federation was remarkable not only for its size (14,500 sq km) but for the fact that its inaugural MHR was a Labor man who would become one of our first Prime Ministers.

Gympie’s Andrew Fisher became Labor leader in 1907 and Prime Minister of a minority Labor government the following year.

Fisher was Prime Minister off and on until his retirement in 1915.

The electorate’s long conservative history began when Liberal Edward Corser squeaked in by a handful of votes at that year’s election.

Re-elected as a Nationalist in 1917, he served until his death in 1928, when his son, Bernard Corser, won Wide Bay for the Country Party and held it until his retirement in 1954.

Lifesaver season closes

By Margie Maccoll Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club ended its patrolling season on Monday, marking the occasion with a breakfast last Friday to thank sponsors for their vital support and celebrate 94 years without a life lost between the flags on their beaches.

As they enjoyed a delicious surf club breakfast, guests heard from speakers including club president Ross Fisher who talked about a remarkable rescue by lifesaver Jessie LloydStewart, Gerard O’Brien who provided an update on the Peregian Beach surf club and Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien who talked about Cherbourg and the club’s help in increasing community positivity.

On 7 February Jessie Lloyd Stewart was surfing at Little Cove when she chanced to glance up at the rocks and noticed a large man who had fallen over.

She rushed over to find him drifting in and out of consciousness, his face in the water and the tide coming in.

A rescue ensued involving other lifesavers, paramedics and QFES. Jessie is to receive a rescue medal from SLSA for her efforts.

Mr O’Brien thanked Noosa surf club for funding and sustaining Peregian Beach life saving for the past eight years.

He told the group Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club had now reached several milestones in its recovery with legal entities established, boards appointed, and a long term lease obtained from Noosa Council.

“We are just now at the starting line and the hard work can begin,” he said.

Mr O’Brien said the club had secured the volunteer services of John Roderick from Coolum club and the supporters club had raised options for an income stream in addition of running the Peregian Markets.

As well as engaging about 200 nippers in its program, Peregian Beach now has 20-30 local life savers which will be supplemented with 40

In his talk, Mr O’Brien told how the restric-

Mr O’Brien said a lot of people had been helping including the surf club which was running a swim club at school.

“You added positivity where there’s stress,” he said.

“Thank you.”

Dangerous driving anger Sunshine Coast police last week closed Operation Regain which targeted the dangerous driving behaviours that lead to road trauma.

The month-long operation detected 343 offences which can lead to serious injury or death on local roads, including 273 speeding offences, 21 people failing to wear a seat belt and 11 drivers using a mobile phone.

Acting Superintendent Doug McDonald said 30 drivers were issued infringements for failing to stop at stop signs or red lights.

“We are noticing a trend starting to emerge in our District where failing to stop at signs or red lights are causing crashes,” he said.

“These crashes ultimately come down to a poor decision made by the driver and could easily be prevented.”

During the operation, 53 drink drivers were detected from more than 16,500 tests, as well as 93 drug drivers from 436 tests.

Acting Superintendent McDonald expressed his disappointment at drivers who are willingly impairing their own driving abilities.

“This is a blatant disregard for their own lives, the lives of their passengers and other road users,” he said.

“It is not only up to the driver not to make these decisions but also those around them to

Young man dies in crash A young man has died in a single vehicle traffic crash at Mountain Creek on 29 April.

The vehicle, a white 2018 Mitsubishi Triton utility, is believed to have left the road-

way around 1am.

The sole occupant of the vehicle, a 31-year-old Sunshine Coast man was found deceased within the utility.

Investigators are appealing for motorists travelling east on the Sunshine Motorway at the Mountain Creek interchange taking the northbound exit to travel towards Noosa between 12.45am-1.05am to come forward with dash cam footage.

NOOSA PARADE CORRIDOR UPGRADE STAGE TWO CONSTRUCTION STARTING SOON

On-street parking changes With Stage 2 construction starting along Noosa Parade, parking bays from Lagoona Drive to Belli Street, Noosa Parade will be used as temporary traffic lanes from mid May while the works progress in the median.

If you usually park a vehicle or boat trailer along this section of Noosa Parade, you will need to make alternate arrangements while construction is underway in that area.

Vehicles in the work zone will need to be towed.

Stage 1 of construction between Munna Point Bridge to Lagoona Drive is expected to be completed in early June. Parking bays in Stage 1, will be reopened as soon as this stage is completed.

Access to properties along Noosa Parade will be maintained while work is underway.

In the event any disruptions are expected, such as during driveway demolition and construction, residents will be contacted before this work starts so alternative arrangements can be made.

The Noosa Parade Corridor Upgrade is proudly supported by the Queensland Government's Cycle Network Local Government Grants program.

Salute to fundraisers

By Ron Lane In every community there exists groups of people who we refer to as fundraisers.

In some of the large organisations they have professional teams working on this matter but in the main you will more than likely find that they are in fact unpaid volunteers. Amongst the many there exists within the boundaries of our community of Noosa Heads, one such group known as Smile for a Child.

According to a team representative this now well- known group came into existence way back in 2006.

This occurred when some nine club managers met at the Tewantin Noosa Golf Club and got together to start a charity golf day to support Clubs Queensland Smile for a Child Foundation, a foundation that supported children’s charities in Queensland.

All monies raised would go to Clubs Queensland for distribution.

The first golf day was held in September 2007 and now, some 15 years later, there are still six clubs involved, with three having withdrawn, including Clubs Queensland.

Thus in 2009, all monies raised by Smile for a Child were handed to Noosa Combined Clubs Charities and distributed among local charities and families in need.

In the early years of the Foundation, they received amazing help from the local Piercy Family and also Rod and Angela Pampling.

To date they have raised $455,000 through the charity golf days.

This year their aim is to raise $45,000, and in doing so they will have achieved the grand

total of $500,000. This would be indeed an outstanding achievement.

Big thanks go to many people, including all club members, including staff. Patrons, Roger and Evonne Gooloogong Cawley, Michael and Susie O’Conner, sponsors Tony Jedinak, Dereck Connolly, Hotel Laguna and Tony and Katia Haack of Sharp Sunshine Coast. Also, Susie O’Neill and Donald Mckill of KIDS Foundations for their involvement. Other charities that have received finical support over the years include Starlight Children’s Foundation, Sunshine Butterflies, Sunny Kids, Kids Foundation, Hear & Say Centre, Seahorse Nippers, Frangipani Dreams, and other families of sick children in our communities.

Others, who over the long years have given generous and amazing support are Anton Mogg, general manager of the Noosa Surf Club and duty manager Matt Holland.

Their continued involvement particually during the times of the Covid outbreak was noted.

But the biggest contributor without a doubt would have to be Glenn Puck Puckeridge.

Every time and every project he’s the organiser and go to man. Not only for the Smile crew, but also both the Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs and, as always, abley supported by his assistant Little Jo Power.

The many hours contributed and the dollars raised and donated, for the families and children of our community, tells us that here we have many people in whom we can take pride. Proud to say- they are our people.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said design work was complete for the new Six Mile Creek bridge.

Design now complete for Six Mile Creek bridge A stronger structure is set to replace the timber Six Mile Creek bridge on Kin Kin Road, three kilometres north of Pomona.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said the Department of Transport and Main Road’s (TMR) new $18 million, concrete bridge would be sturdier, wider and higher, improving safety and traffic flow for the growing community.

“The new bridge will be up to three metres higher than the existing timber structure,“ Ms Bolton said.

“It will withstand more significant flooding, reducing the frequency and duration of closures during significant wet weather.

“The new bridge is more than twice as wide as the current structure, which has only one lane and requires drivers to stop and give way to opposing traffic.”

Ms Bolton said it would have two 3.8-metre-wide lanes allowing motorists to travel across without waiting.

“TMR will build a 2.5-metre shoulder on

each side creating more space and improving safety for all road users,” she said.

“The design also includes installing new dedicated turn lanes into Bellbird Flat Road and realigning sections of Kin Kin Road and the bridge approaches.“ Ms Bolton said the design was complete and construction was expected to start later this year (2022), weather and construction conditions permitting.

“With design now complete, TMR’s next step will be appointing a construction contractor,” she said.

“Once underway, works are expected to take 12 months to complete, weather and construction conditions permitting.

“Transport and Main Roads will provide further updates to the community before any works start.“ For more information on the project, visit tmr.qld.gov.au/projects/kin-kin-roadsix-mile-creek-replace-timber-bridge

Luke is doing it for Dolly Moama farmer Luke Barlow developed a passion for fitness late in life, inspired by his wife Kate and two teenage boys who were already hooked on competing in fitness races.

Now, he could well be Australia’s most formidable fundraising farmer.

On 7-9 May, Luke will tackle one of the biggest physical challenges of his life when he undertakes the vigorous Ultraman Australia in Noosa, a three-day ultra-triathlon spanning 515km, raising funds for Dolly’s Dream to take a stand against childhood bullying and cyberbullying.

Founded in memory of Dolly Everett, who took her own life at the age of 14 following an extensive period of bullying and cyberbullying, Dolly’s Dream’s yearly Do It For Dolly Day aims to empower and educate the community to prevent all forms of bullying and raise awareness about its devastating effects.

With two teenage boys, Luke hopes to see the ongoing support of children in his community, and all communities raising funds for Dolly’s Dream.

“As a father of two teenage boys myself, I feel it’s important for them to have strong role models and be allowed access to education that is both safe and supportive,” Luke said.

“The end of bullying would lead to a stronger community for everyone. It’s not just in schools, it’s in universities, places of employment and our homes as well. The message be kind speaks to all of us and would assist a safe and supportive environment for everyone to enjoy life.

“Through each race I participate in, I hope to not only raise funds for the organisation, but raise awareness and really get the message of their organisation across. With my boys now being teenagers, it’s Dolly’s Dream that really tugged at my heart strings.”

Aiming to raise $10,000 for Dolly’s Dream, this isn’t the first fundraiser Luke has held.

Last year, Luke braved the chilly waters of the

Moama farmer, Luke Barlow, developed a passion for fitness late in life.

Luke said by raising funds for Dolly’s Dream he hopes to see the ongoing support of children.

Luke Barlow will tackle the vigorous Ultraman Australia in Noosa.

Murray for a swim to raise money for the fight against MND. Further to this, he also made a pledge to donate $10 of his own money, for anyone who could swim to the Pylon in order to contribute some extra cash. Luke ended up with a team of 21 brave swimmers and raised $1500.

“When I realised the potential my voice

had within the community, I thought of Dolly’s Dream. We all remember seeing it on the news when it happened, and I especially felt a connection being a farmer in a rural town just like Kate and Tick, Dolly’s parents. I knew I wanted to do something for Dolly next,” Luke said.

“I never expect to win my races, but through raising money for Dolly’s Dream and especial-

ly participating in Ultraman, I want my boys to know that they don’t have to be the best at everything, and it’s OK to not win. By teaching this lesson early in life, I hope the pressures for children and teenagers decrease and kids are more supportive of one another.”

At just 14 years old, Dolly Everett’s last drawing read ‘speak even if your voice shakes’.

This chilling message is now the mantra Kate and Tick, Dolly’s parents, live by through their foundation Dolly’s Dream.

With the funds from Do It For Dolly Day going to a number of initiatives including a free mental health support line with trained counsellors, Dolly’s mother and charity co-founder Kate Everett said that not only the monetary contribution from Luke, but his voice and presence in his community, meant the world to them.

“Such a well known father in the community who is speaking out about the effects of bullying and cyberbullying will have a huge impact on both parents and children in Moama,” Kate said.

“Through spreading the word, lives can be saved, and through the funds raised for Do It For Dolly Day, we can continue to create a kinder community by changing the behaviours around bullying.”

With technology constantly evolving, and the landscape that children communicate and engage with changing alongside it, Kate said that it’s the attitudes and culture that the organisation is looking to shift.

“We work hard to continually update and develop vital bullying prevention and online safety programs to kids, families, schools and communities across Australia, ultimately with the goal to create a cultural change where kindness and compassion with each other is the new norm,” she said.

Raising the sails at Yottie The new club turns 25.

Sailability regatta.

Pictures: SUPPLIED

Sailing Club, and Dr. Nick Kahl of Noosa Rowing Club, along with Simon Newcomb and Billy Griffiths, secured the river site which was to become the current club site.

On Easter Saturday 1994, the sailors and rowers sailed past the old clubhouse to the new clubhouse and, ever since, the club has grown in size and membership.

Seven local schools now participate in the Schools Program, with over 3000 attendances.

Hats off to the Year 7s at Noosa Pengari Steiner School as they also attend a learn to sail program each year which enables them to embark on a week-long self-catered sailing camp around Moreton Bay - the experience

Zachary’s Gourmet Pizza Bar & Restaurant

of a lifetime.

The Stratogen Accountants Sunshine Coast Inter-Schools Regatta is hosted every year with both primary and secondary divisions competing in a round robin format over two days.

On average 18 teams compete for the trophy.

The regatta is currently in its 12th year.

Four rescue craft and 37 training boats now make up the fleet in our sailing programs.

The holiday programs, including FunSail and Learn To Sail for seven–17 year-olds, provide vital first steps in the sailing journey.

Participants gain valuable life skills and confidence on the water.

Many of these participants go on to com-

pete in regional, state or national programs.

Sailability provides people with disability, young and old, the freedom of sailing the idyllic Noosa River. Instructors and volunteers crew the dinghies and safety boats to maintain a safe environment. The Sailability program is celebrating 10 years and is run every Thursday (excluding school holidays) during March to September.

With the rise of Covid cases in Queensland, rowing memberships noticeably increased, with people turning to the incredible health benefits that rowing provides.

The club boasts a thriving master rowers division, achieving state and national titles over the years.

Rowers can develop valuable life skills, goal setting and a sense of belonging while developing new friendships.

Whether you are looking for a social, competitive or accepting involvement in sport at all levels, The Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club is breeding success.

FOOTNOTE: Back in 2020 a group was trying to organise defibrillators to be placed all along the Noosa River for public use. This unfortunately never came to fruition, so the Yottie decided to go it alone and install one from its own funding. The defib is located outside the sailing office near the notice board, and it’s for public use.

Covid may have delayed the 25th anniversary of its current clubhouse by a couple of years, but the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, the Yottie, will have plenty to celebrate on its open day, coming up in August.

For starters, there’s the remarkable amount of $220,000 raised in financial year 2021 in support of the club’s YouthSail, Rowing and Sailability programs.

This was a massive boost to these valuable programs helping disabled people of all ages and schoolkids to learn to row and sail.

As a result of the funding, the Stratus 580 trailer sailor, a multi-purpose vehicle used for adult sailing lessons, Sailability and the schools’ programs, has been upgraded. Four new vagabond sailing dinghies for the schools’ learn to sail programs, and two new RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) were purchased to ensure maximum safety on the water, and a new motor has been upgraded to the Rescue 1 boat.

Safety being a priority, additional handheld radios were acquired for communication on the river, while to ensure ease of access for the Sailability program, the beach wheel chair has also been refurbished.

Back in the 1950s a small group of dedicated sailors were unknowingly laying the foundations for what is now the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club.

Then known as the Noosa River Sailing Club, their first clubhouse, near the existing tennis courts on Gympie Terrace, was opened in September 1961.

As numbers grew, the clubhouse was extended and the name changed to the Noosa Yacht Club. At the same time, rowers were becoming big users of the Noosa River, with their storage at Munna Point.

In 1981 the Noosa Rowing Club was formed and in 1984, agreement was reached and the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club was incorporated.

These care packs will be available throughout Queensland, to those in need in areas along the coast, into small country towns, out west and in Far North Queensland.

“From our earlier partnership some years back, our Club received many emotional emails from recipients expressing gratitude for the items received when funds and crisis had impacted daily living for them and their children.

“We are also seeking other community-

“This is LiveLife Pharmacy’s second joint venture with Lions and we are very happy to again contribute to their worthy humanitarian assistance program on behalf of not just the communities we serve directly but those most in need.

“It’s a comfort knowing that in turn if our immediate community was in need, Lions Clubs across Queensland would reciprocate.

throughout Queensland who together donated over $30,000 worth of product to this worthy cause.

Uniting with Dignitea high tea to end period poverty Share the Dignity’s annual DigniTea high tea event will return to the Sunshine Coast on Friday 6 May, raising awareness and muchneeded funds for those experiencing period poverty in Australia.

Hosted by fashion editor at Hello Sunshine and In Noosa Magazine, Carlie Wacker, the event signifies a welcome return of the DigniTea fundraiser, after Covid-19 brought the 2020 and 2021 events to a halt.

The Sunshine Coast high tea is one of 11 DigniTea events hosted across Australia throughout May in celebration and recognition of World Menstrual Hygiene Day (28 May). The event series is set to raise over $450,000 and bring together more than 5000 people to help women and girls in need.

Share the Dignity founder and managing

director Rochelle Courtenay said she was expecting this year’s DigniTea high tea events to be bigger and better than ever before.

“I’m so excited to see our much-loved DigniTea event series return in full force after a challenging couple of years,” Ms Courtenay said.

“Like many charities, our monetary donations took a hit in 2020 and 2021 with the cancellation of most of our DigniTea events, which slowed our progress in areas like our dignity vending machines.

“But ending period poverty is about more than just funding, collecting, and distributing products. It’s also about removing the shame and stigma associated with menstruation and being relentless in lobbying for policy changes to ensure dignified and reli-

able access for all.

“We’ve missed being able to bring people together to talk about periods at events like DigniTea. Conversations can be so powerful and are essential in breaking the taboo around menstruation and inciting action.”

Joining host Carlie Wacker will be an inspiring panel of passionate Share the Dignity supporters including local Tik Tok star Nat Alise, Share the Dignity spokesperson, Jacqui Gillespie and SunnkyKids representative Alex Comino.

Carlie Wacker said she hoped to see Sunshine Coast rally together and attend the DigniTea to raise money to end period poverty.

“It breaks my heart to know that one in five women have used makeshift sanitary alternatives like toilet paper and socks because

they cannot afford or access pads, tampons or period underwear,” Ms Wacker said.

“There is no shame in menstruating - I think we should celebrate being women and work our butts off to ensure every woman can celebrate their period.

Growing homelessness and domestic violence situations require us to continue to work hard in this space, so let’s show them our Sunny Coast period pride!”

Tickets are selling fast and can be purchased for $99 per person or $950 for a table of 10 at sharethedignity.org.au/dignitea.

Don’t bottle it up: Rotary

By Abbey Cannan Don’t bottle it up is the message the five local Rotary Clubs aim to get across to the Noosa community in their initiative to raise awareness and opportunities for pathways to assist with recovery for people touched

by PTSD and mental health.

The combined Rotary Clubs of Noosa Heads, Noosa Daybreak, Noosa, Cooroy and Eumundi have launched a joint project, where a host of local celebrities will support the don’t bottle it up theme as part of the clubs’ ongoing activities.

This event is a follow on from the highly successful it’s a beautiful day by the river PTSD activity by the combined clubs in November 2021 One of the first events is a combined meeting at Cooroy RSL on May 16 with guest speaker, Dr Ben Isbel, discussing the ageing mind and dementia.

This meeting will enable members of the public to attend the Cooroy RSL from 5.30pm at a cost of $30 a head, including a meal.

Dr Isbel, who operates Pramana Wellbeing at Palmwoods and was formerly with the Thompson Institute at USC, will discuss the latest research in healthy brain ageing, including his own neuroimaging research into the effect of mindfulness and lifestyle change to slow and prevent age-related cognitive decline and dementia.

His research has shown that eight weeks of mindfulness can increase attention and memory performance, speed up neural activation, increase the efficiency of neural responses, and increase the volume and size of key brain structures.

“Think about what this means,“ Dr Isbel said.

“This is actually reversing the age-related loss in brain volume and neural speed

Visitors browse the books at the Bookfest.

Bookfest a big success Biographies, fiction, travel, food, history and fiction were among the 30,000 books at Rotary’s annual Bookfest, held at the Noosa Leisure Centre over the weekend.

Bookworms scoured the rows that had been collected by the region’s five Rotary clubs and stored in their shed before delivery on 18 pallets by a semi-trailer.

Richard Marsh from Rotary Club of Noosa Daybreak said the books had been donated from libraries, people downsizing and deceased estates and others had been brought in by the bag-load during the event.

This year all money raised, expected to be about $20,000 would be given to assist local homeless people through the Salvation Army, he said.

Run entirely by volunteers with no administration costs, all money would go to the homeless, he said.

Dr Ben Isbel will be discussing the ageing mind and dementia at the Cooroy RSL. as we age. If mindfulness increases brain volume and neural response speed, then it is reversing the normal age-related reductions that we expect to see as we get older.

“A key message of the healthy brain ageing science is that once we are over the age of about 55 years, most of our risk for developing dementia in the future is in our hands – in the lifestyle choices we make.

“This is a very empowering message, because it puts us in charge of our health.

Put Italy on the itinerary It is always exciting to plan a travel adventure, especially when we have been grounded for over two years.

No-one is more excited than Deb Taylor, owner of Ciao Italy Tours, as she packs her bag and prepares her groups for two tours of Italy in June.

“My story began 13 years ago when, on a whim, I decided to become a tour guide in Italy,“ Deb said.

“I had never been to Italy. That random decision changed my life forever. I was besotted from day one walking the streets of Rome.

“It was always the plan to create an Italian adventure that is intimate, authentic and filled with local experiences.

“Now, after years of wandering the length and breadth of a country that tugs at your heartstrings and never lets go, the knowledge gained from always being curious, always talking to locals and always learning means an unforgettable holiday in Italy for my travellers.

“A small group of 10 and private transfers from one destination to the next means we can visit hard to reach hilltop medieval villages, stay in centuries-old family-owned small villas in the centro historico, eat where the locals eat, walk a hidden goat trodden path with not a tourist in sight.

“A three-night stay in all of our destinations is the key to enjoying the daily rituals of Italian life.

“I love waking to the bells tolling and the smell of freshly baked bread,“ she said.

“An early morning walk for that first coffee when only the dog walkers are out is a favourite time of the day, whether in Rome or a tiny Tuscan village.

Deb Taylor, owner of Ciao Italy Tours.

“We have time to wander the local market and delight in buying fresh, seasonal produce, sit on a stone bench in the central piazza and have wonderful conversations with locals, take random turns down tiny cobblestoned alleyways and discover hidden in plain sight unbelievable treasures.

“There is something unusual, something wonderful and something unexpected around every corner.

“This is the Italy that I am passionate about sharing.“ For more information contact Deb Taylor on 0403 621 008 or visit ciaoitaly.com.au

Enjoy Shakespeare’s lakeside romantic comedy Audiences all over the Sunshine Coast will be busy in the month of May as The Anywhere Festival sees performances popping up across the coast.

The sixth instalment of Little Seed Theatre Company’s annual Shakespeare at the Lake As You Like It provides plenty of laughs.

The story is set in the forest of Arden where dreamers and schemers seek a new world.

All the world’s a stage in this setting overlooking beautiful Lake MacDonald.

So pack a picnic, bring your favourite tipple, a cushion or two and get lost in the world of dukes, daughters and disguises just how you like it!

In 2017 the company presented Romeo and Juliet as their first foray into Shakespeare, staging the show at the amphitheatre in the Noosa Botanical Gardens overlooking Lake MacDonald.

This experience was a great delight for cast, director and the hundreds of audience members who turned out for the event.

The success of the first year lead the company director to establish Shakespeare at the Lake as an annual event.

Performed in May as part of the Anywhere Festival the event is a highlight for the company and has a wonderful reputation within the community for its vibrant costumes, strong sense of physical theatre and for bringing Shakespeare to life for modern audiences.

While long term locals know the history of the grand Greek-style theatre in Noosa Botanical Gardens, newcomers and visitors may wonder why such a splendid structure with all it’s ancient Greek and Roman evocations was built here.

As You Like It cast members Tilly Wood as Rosalind and Callum Johnston as Orlando.

Picture: NATHANIEL KNIGHT Friend of Rotary Ida Duncan owned a property that formed the entry to the gardens and she hated to see the land used as a dump.

After touring Greece and falling in love with their amphitheatres Ida had an idea that the vacant hillside in the gardens could become an amphitheatre.

While many said it could not be done, Ida fundraised furiously and was undeterred. In 1997 the construction was completed and Ida’s dream became a reality.

Celebrating nature, shifting gender roles and the absurdities of politics, confusion reigns supreme in this big hearted comedy by the Bard.

Tickets are available through little-seed. com.au and the show plays May 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 2.30pm.

Imagine experiencing Italy through the eyes of a local, rather than as a tourist.

Golinski has local focus It’s been a busy start to the year for View by Matt Golinski with a strong focus on bringing local produce and events to life.

“It’s been absolutely cranking lately and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down, which is awesome,” Mr Golinski said.

“We’re looking forward to things continuing on in Noosa the way they have been. It’s really nice to see that people are still booking here and supporting the hotels, restaurants, and businesses in Noosa.

“I think it’s the year that everyone makes their big comeback.”

With over 60 local producers supplying their goods to the Peppers restaurant, it’s clear Matt’s passion for supporting locals isn’t just a gimmick.

“It’s my great passion and I’ve kind of forced it upon every other person who works in the kitchen,” he said.

“The kitchen staff have been able to get to know all the people who drop the stuff off at the back door, whether it’s the person who provides the eggs or macadamias. We’ve got so many different producers who drop off one thing and that’s the beauty of it.

“Everyone in the kitchen will know when the mushrooms have come in, and they’ve been picked that morning.

“That’s the reason we do it, to get the best quality and special ingredients. It’s been great for the hotel to embrace and get behind that as well.”

Matt said he planneds to host a garden lunch with special guest Costa Georgiadis

from Gardening Australia this spring.

“I like to invite my friends here to do events collaboratively with the restaurant and we all have a lot of fun,” Mr Golinski said.

“The next in line is my hairy little mate and he’s an incredible person with so much charisma.

“We’ve also got a lot of conferences on through May, and it is good to see that people have the confidence to host events again.”

The popular restaurant at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas will be hosting a Mother’s Day seafood buffet lunch, showcasing locally harvested seafood for the ultimate sea to table experience.

“It’s going to be a really good day. I’m looking forward to it,” Mr Golinski said.

Guests will enjoy live entertainment by Andrew Lawson and a gift for all mothers on Sunday 8 May from noon-3pm.

Ocean treasures include Pacific oysters, Mooloolaba tiger prawns, Blue Swimmer crabs, Moreton Bay bugs and much more. Land lovers enjoy a wonderful choice of artisan antipasto, succulent roasts, Asian-inspired dishes, woodfired pizza and European classics. To finish, indulge in a fantasy array of artful desserts.

Tickets: Adults $99/ Teens $65 (13-17 years)/ Children $45 (5-12 years)/ Children four years and under complimentary.

Prevent heart tragedies

By Professor Christian Hamilton-Craig Shane Warne - one of best cricketers in Australian sporting history - died suddenly while on holiday in Thailand.

He was just 52. Warne was a national and international sporting hero. He played 145 Tests for Australia and 194 one-day internationals, bowled 40,705 balls in Test cricket for 708 wickets at an average of 25.41.

It is understood Warne had suffered chest pains before he left Australia, and it is suspected that he died of a massive heart attack.

What could have been done to prevent this tragedy?

We all know of someone who has suffered a heart attack in middle age.

Some of these people presented to hospital early and were treated with coronary stenting and medication to reopen the artery.

Others presented too late - with sudden cardiac death.

Heart attacks are primarily due to the buildup of cholesterol and plaque in the coronary arteries, due to high levels of circulating cholesterol in the blood. This will slowly deposit in the artery wall.

The process begins in late adolescence, as shown in in autopsies on young men who died in the Vietnam war indicating the beginning of fatty streaks in the artery at a surprisingly young age.

Plaque builds up over time slowly, like a pimple in the artery wall, and then begins to harden with calcification. Much like a pimple, this plaque has a cheesy soft centre of cholesterol, with a thin cap, which is liable to rupture causing obstruction of the arteries and so heart attack.

Artery calcification is easily detectable these days; using tests such as a Coronary Calcium Scan, which measures the amount of calcified plaque in the arteries of the heart.

Coronary artery calcium scanning is recommended by the Cardiac Society of Australia & New Zealand and the National Heart Foundation of Australia for identifying patients who are at greater risk of coronary events, in order to initiate appropriate treatment.

A Coronary Calcium Score is a quick and easy test: The patient lies down on a CT scanner, has ECG dots placed on the chest, and a single breath-hold takes pictures the heart, without any need for injections or dye.

The amount of plaque is measured and a calcium score is generated. A score above 100 indicates sufficiently high risk for treatment.

Statin medication acts to effectively lower LDL cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular events, with very minimal side effects. Most patients do not even feel they are taking a medication. Some patients, however, may experience statin-associated muscle symptoms, and the treating doctor can try each of the several statins available in Australia beginning with a low dose. Other cholesterol-lowering therapies are available for those who cannot tolerate statins.

The only downside to calcium scoring in Australia is that Medicare does not currently publicly fund it, primarily because no appli-

Professor Christian Hamilton-Craig. cation has been submitted. This is likely to be done in the near future once there is more evidence from Australian studies demonstrating the efficacy and health economics of coronary calcium scoring in our health system.

In the meantime, it is a user–pays test costing around $100–$150, which is well worthwhile and could be considered as a mammogram of the heart. The radiation dose is low, comparable to mammography.

It should be noted that patients who are al-

ready at high risk such as those with diabetes, with known coronary artery disease or who have had stents, or bypass surgery should already be on treatment, and therefore do not need a scan.

It is clear that identification of subclinical (hidden) hardening of the arteries, allows identification of patients, who may not have been aware they were at high risk, allowing for early intervention, appropriate treatment, and ideally the prevention of a Shane Warne kind

Ripple effect is expanding A local psychology clinic has recently completed a recruitment drive to become the largest clinic offering general psychology to the Noosa community.

Ripple Psychology not only offers seven psychologists, but is open seven days, with after hours appointments at weekends, and on some evenings and early mornings.

In addition to standard psychology for individual adults and children, which comprise the most common requests for service, Ripple Psychology offers many specialisations.

These include couples’ and family therapy provided by one of the principal psychologists, Dave Clarke.

His wife and practice partner, Melita Inglis, offers trauma work and EMDR (a particular treatment approach for trauma), as do Amy and Lisa.

Other particular specialisations offered at the clinic include perinatal psychology, child psychology, parenting, art therapy, and queer health. All seven psychologists offer services funded through NDIS and WorkCover.

It is widely accepted that recent events such as floods and fires, as well as the prolonged Covid pandemic, have seen wait times for support services blow out to several months.

The recent Productivity Commission Mental Health Inquiry estimates the cost to Australia of mental ill-health and suicide is around $200 billion per year, or around 10 per cent of gross national product.

In local terms, mental health impacts cost the Noosa shire around half a million dollars each and every year, and this figure is growing as wait times for services extend, and the mental health of people on those wait lists deteriorates.

Principal psychologist Melita Inglis reminds us that although people are getting better at reaching out for mental health support, their issues have often become quite critical by the time they pick up the phone.

Ripple Psychology in Noosa not only offers seven psychologists, but is open seven days.

“So when the caller is told that the next available appointment is over a month away, people experience despondency or panic, or just give up,“ he said.

“We are very excited to be able to say that, from May this year, we usually will be able to book that person a confirmed appointment in that same week.

“It may be slightly longer if the person requests a particular psychologist or treatment approach, but even then we will generally be booking a firm first appointment rather than

adding a person to an indefinite wait list.”

Dave is also excited to introduce the three new team members, all relocating, coincidentally, to Noosa from Melbourne.

“Caren provides mediation as well as couple and family work,” he said.

“Aleksandra works extensively with children and teenagers, as well as their parents, and is providing a lot of NDIS support.

“Aaron is working weekends with adults as well as children, has a particular interest in

eating disorders, and is also offering NDIS services.” Amy and Lisa continue to offer trauma services and EMDR (which is offered by only a few psychologists on the Sunshine Coast).

Amy is also expanding her perinatal psychology services, with pregnant mothers and new mums actively seeking her services.

If you thought you were done and dusted with Big Brother this lifetime, think again. In a turn of events almost too exciting for fans to process without breaking into a Sara-Marie-style bum dance, this new season features well-known past contestants. Besides the fact the reality TV pioneer is returning for its 14th season on its third TV network, it’s certainly a sign of a love when past housemates agree to rendez-vous for the mind games and food rationing once again. Among the series’ 21 housemates, the “royalty” includes 2003 winner Reggie Bird, 2004 winner Trevor Butler, farmer Dave Graham (2006) and 2013’s controversial lovebirds Anthony Drew and Tully Smyth. Prepare for an awesome twist.

If you’re feeling like nothing commands your attention, diving head-first into a true crime case that shocks you to the core could be the solution. Here, you can cast aside entry-level, one-episode shenanigans with a full-speed, fourepisode investigation by journalist and writer Debi Marshall (pictured). Based on her acclaimed book on the subject, Marshall lives and breathes the Family Court Murders, which involved a campaign of terror by one man, including a series of bombings and shootings in the ’80s that killed four people.

Prize to fuel your passion Susan, Lyall and Laurie.

Urgent call for dog carers If you love dogs and have some time to spare, local charity PTSD Dogs Australia, now based near Cooroy, would love to hear from you.

The organisation rescues dogs from pounds and shelters, trains them to become loyal and supportive assistance dogs veterans and first responders suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

They are desperately seeking foster dog educators to provide a home for their dogs while undergoing training.

The organisation will hold two information sessions on Thursday 5 May, from noon til 2pm, at the Cooroy Library, and Wednesday 11 May at Noosa Boardroom at Noosa Civic.

The suicide rate among veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD is alarming and the demand for PTSD assistance dogs is enormous.

PTSD Dogs Australia have been on the ground since 2018, rescuing dogs and are leading the way in training rescue dogs to become Psychiatric PTSD assistance dogs.

By rescuing dogs that have already re-

ceived good basic obedience training, they are able to reduce euthanasia rates and reduce greatly reduce the wait time for an assistance dog, which can be up to four years.

Receiving an assistance dog can be lifechanging and in some cases, even life-saving.

Their assistance dogs are provided at no charge to their clients (handlers), plus, they provide lifetime support to each dog and their handler.

They currently need more foster dog educators to assist with caring for the dogs, and helping with basic training, until they are ready to be placed with a handler.

Educators are required to attend at least one weekly public access training session.

PTSD Dogs Australia provide all the equipment needed to care for the dogs.

You don’t have to be an expert in dog training, just keen and willing to learn.

It’s also a great way to meet new people as the pack socialises a lot together too.

Please pre-register for the information session, using the application form online at ptsddogs.org.au/foster

Election - early vote guide

By Arthur Gorrie As an increasingly intense federal election campaign grinds on, there is good news for at least some of those wishing they could vote now and get it over with.

From Monday, you can.

Early voting comes with fairly broad eligibility rules, mostly for people who cannot be sure of their availability to vote in person on polling day, Saturday 21 May. Early voting centres, though not numerous, will be open long hours - 8am to 8pm from Monday 9 May to Friday 13 May, 9am to 4pm on Saturday 14 May, 8am to 8pm Monday 16 May to Thursday 19 May and 8am to 6pm on Friday, 20 May, election eve.

Early voting centres which may be helpful to Noosa people are at Noosa Baptist

Church Hall, 1 Lake Weyba Dr, Noosaville and Coolum-Peregian RSL sub branch, 1906 David Low Way which both have assisted wheelchair access.

The Australian Electoral Commission says many more polling booths will be available on polling day across Noosa region.

Postal voting is also available for people unable to vote in person on polling day, with applications closing on 18 May. AEC mobile polling teams visit many voters who are not able to get to a polling place, including visits to some residential care facilities.

Telephone voting is also available to the vision impaired or in special circumstances, via the AEC’s telephone voting service.

John Woodward, Australian Federation Party

Debt-free bid under the Prime Ministership of Labor’s Andrew Fisher, the first House of Representatives member for Wide Bay. Under the Governorship of Sir Denison Miller, it conferred huge benefits on the people of Australia and would have continued to do so if not for his mysterious death.

In 1921 he said: “The whole of the resources of Australia are at the back of this bank, ….Whatever the Australian people can intelligently conceive in their minds and will loyally support, that can be done.” In other words, that which is physically possible can be made financially possible by a government owned people’s bank issuing debt free money. Recently the Reserve Bank of Australia which is owned by the people of Australia proved that money can be issued without debt when they typed into a computer $130 billion, thus creating money out of thin air, and proceeded to make the money available to the government for JobSaver.

The people’s bank was killed off by Labor’s Bob Hawke when he commenced its privatisation. John Howard Liberal and Paul Keating Labor finished off the hit job. Perhaps it would be appropriate that the people’s bank be reborn in Wide Bay with the election of John Woodward, Australian Federation Party candidate for Wide Bay. If elected I will diligently serve the people of Wide Bay and work towards putting an end to the debt based monetary system.

I am married with two children and live at Theebine a small rural community about 30 minutes north west of Gympie and at the geographical centre of the Wide Bay electorate.

John Woodward representing the Australian Federation Party has registered to represent the seat of Wide Bay. Here is his supplied profile: I was born in Brisbane 16 June,1951, attended Pullenvale State School to grade 5 and then Brisbane Boys College to senior (grade 12).

The two school mottos I remember were Let Honour Stainless Be and Dare To Be Different.

Thereafter I attended Queensland University where I studied geology, science and commerce, finally became an articled clerk studying Solicitors Board and swapped to Barristers Board. I was admitted as a barrister December, 1975.

Since my admission I have practiced as a barrister and as a solicitor in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney. I have also worked at many different jobs at various times and, as a result, I believe that I have a good understanding of people from many walks of life.

For the last 12 years I have been a farmer, and truth seeker. I have had a website for over 15 years drawing attention to the debt based monetary system which has made debt slaves of practically all of humanity. (enddebtslavery. com.au) It is my passion to bring back a government owned people’s bank to issue 100 per cent of our money supply debt free. Unlike Liberal and Labor who serve foreign bankers who issue over 98 per cent of our money supply as debt to themselves.

The original people’s bank, the then government-owned Commonwealth Bank of Australia was born in Wide Bay. It was established

Kelli Jacobi Independent 1:

1. The top 3 issues for the Noosa area in the Greens’ view are - tackling climate change and protecting the environment, fixing aged care, and having an affordable and secure choice in the housing market.

2. Greens’ policies are community-focused and bold enough to fully address the scale of each challenge.

On climate change and protecting the environment: Not allow new coal or gas and phase out existing, prepare for climate impacts, 100 per cent clean energy and restore land and carbon drawdown.

Aged Care: Move to not for profit providers, provide affordable accommodation options, improve working conditions for aged care workers, provide a guaranteed liveable income for older people and ensure in-

2:

systemic problems at federal · Serious level have led to these issues. To resolve

dependent accountability mechanisms to monitor services.

Housing: Create a federal housing trust to build over 20 years: 750,000 homes for low income earners to slash waiting lists and end homelessness, and 125,000 for shared ownership homes. These 125,000 will be for public universal access rental homes.

Tracy Bennett United Australia Party Accessing long term rental accommodation has become a problem in Noosa. The rise of short term rental opportunities through the likes of AirBnB have made it difficult for residents to find affordable long term accommodation which has a knock on effect into staff shortages.

Whilst the accommodation crisis has contributed to this issue of staff shortages, particularly in the hospitality industry, the other factor is mandates.

Under a United Australia Party government led by Craig Kelly we would see a positive impact on these issues within Noosa by capping home loan interest rates to a maximum of three per cent for the next five years we protect the rental accommodation market and help to keep it affordable.

Introducing a tax deduction on the first $30,000 of a home loan, which would mean a saving of around $10,000 per year net for our constituents.

local challenges, we must first address their federal causes such as corruption, incompetence, mismanagement and unlawful directives that have sent Australia into a tailspin.

There are many potential solutions within my policy (kellijacobi.com/about) but our most urgent need is to end corruption in government through national conflicts of interest and deals with private, globalist organisations that are not in Australia’s best interest and were made without our knowledge or consent. Restoration of our true constitution (1901) and repeal of subsequent unlawful acts that enable our socalled leaders to ruin us, will further help to repair our nation.

Reclaiming our rightful ownership of the Australian dollar and encouraging new industries and manufacturing within Australia again will further stabilise our economy. We must also reclaim Australian

assets and strategic infrastructure sold to foreign powers that compromise our national security.

Practical solutions for local challenges could include: Tax incentives to encourage home ownership and rural migration, reducing pressure on coastal infrastructure and stimulating rural economies.

Encourage secondary dwellings and multi-occupant living to alleviate housing shortages.

Allow healthy staff who were unlawfully dismissed to resume their rightful occupations.

I’ll happily collaborate with any within government offering wise, effective strategies to help make Australia beautiful again.

· · ·

Geoff Williams Labor

Removing all mandates and enacting a bill of rights, outlawing lockdowns and protecting the rights of all Australians would restore trust, which in turn would see hospitality staff return to the region, stimulating and re-invigorating the local economy, along with the extra spending generated by the increase to the retiree pension of $180 per fortnight.

I have spoken to many people across the electorate from all walks of life and the three most common themes I have heard from the people of Noosa have been: The lack of integrity of the current government and the need for a Federal Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) - only Labor will instigate this and make it retrospective.

There have been ongoing serious concerns about the increasing cost of daily living, escalating housing and rental costs in the Noosa area with the need for more social and affordable housing.

The lack of the LNP federal government real action on climate change. Only Labor has a plan that we need for increased use

of electric vehicles, solar energy and battery storage for homes and businesses.

These are all core issues that Labor will rectify in government.

Noosa’s Community Garden is ready for growth Noosa’s community garden has recently been relocated to Wallace Park with the group calling on the community to come and visit it in its new location.

“We have been working tirelessly on establishing the garden with help from the students from the Australian Industry Trade College,“ spokeswoman Erika Hackett said.

“Many tasks have been accomplished mowing the lawns, distributing mulch around garden beds, new wicking beds built, blueberry beds completed, straw bales in place ready for seasoning, new compost bins built and a heap more.

“These students have been amazing coming week after week to help out in all kinds of soggy weather. It’s a good thing they are young as they don’t seem to mind getting wet or muddy.“ The New Noosa Community Garden is located at Wallace Park next door to the library, leisure centre, Parks Association, Meals on Wheels and Noosa Community Services.

The group gardens every Friday from 8-11am, no experience necessary. Go along and learn, there will be harvest at the end of the day which is shared by all. “We’re a friendly group and happy to share a cuppa with you at the end of our gardening session,“ Erika said.

plan on Noosa issues Noosa Today asked our 10 candidates vying for the seat of Wide Bay: 1. What do you identify to be the top three issues affecting the people of Noosa?

2. If you were elected to represent the seat of Wide Bay what would you do to fix these three issues?

These are the answers supplied by the candidates.

Tim Jerome Independent

Llew O’Brien LNP

1. Cost of living, affordable housing, the rental and public housing crisis.

1. Creating jobs, delivering the infrastructure and services that Noosa families and businesses need, and keeping our economy strong to help address cost of living pressures, are top priorities for me.

2. If re-elected, I will continue to work to secure infrastructure to help Wide Bay grow, building on the investments I’ve secured, including $6.9 million to replace six bridges throughout Noosa.

I’ve worked with businesses to create jobs, including at the Peregian Beach Digital Hub and the Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesaving Club, and to grow Noosa’s reputation for tech innovation through investments in Helitak and FireTech – and I will continue to work to boost employment.

I’ve worked to improve Noosa’s community, palliative care, disability and sporting services, with $2.5 million for a new Peregian Beach Community House, $1.5 million to extend Katie Rose Cottage Hospice, $135,000 for an accessible playground and cafe at Sunshine Butterflies, and $1.25 million for a health and wellbeing centre at Noosa AFL. I am working to build a stronger economy to reduce taxes; support our farmers; and deliver record funding for

2. The only way to fix these problems is by a change of government, but not just a different government. There needs to be a total overhaul of our political system. The current system is not working. We cannot afford to be paying politicians the high wages which include paying for ex-politicians for the rest of their lives. We cannot afford to have the middle to lower income workers bearing the tax load while the wealthy pay little to no tax. We cannot afford to have our Prime Minister giving money to the big corporation bosses that is happening during this pandemic. This has caused hyper-inflation which has halved the value of the dollar, and therefore we have to pay twice as much for everything. I offer myself as the solution to fix the problem. Only true independents who are not part of the faulty system can be a true mouthpiece in parliament. I have no ties or have done no deals with any party or corporation. I owe no one anything. I have a fully costed plan to fix the rental and public housing crisis outlaid on my website timjerome.com. au It involves diverting $20 billion from

the futures funds. The federal government already manages $247.8 billion in assets across six future funds. The federal government could easily divert $20 billion which would deliver 30,000 extra housing dwellings a year. Each year the money raised from future funds could be topped up to eventually provide 50,000 new housing dwellings a year. After this election it is more than likely going to be a minority government in power. Independents like myself are going to have more sway to be the voice for common sense and deliver better money management solutions for our nation.

schools and hospitals.

The Liberal and Nationals Government has a strong focus on defence and national security and we will continue to keep Australians safe and secure.

We are also making PBS medicines more affordable and increasing the eligibility for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card so more self-funded retirees can access concessions.

We must maintain our momentum and build on our achievements, and with your support, we will continue to build a better Wide Bay.

Andrea Newland Informed Medical Options Party Daniel Williams – Australian Values Party

Noosa Today had not received a response from Andrea Newland by the time of publication.

1. The top three issues currently affecting the people of Noosa are the shortage of affordable housing, rent affordability for our essential services living in Noosa, and land availability to build affordable houses for those affected.

2. If I was elected I would be looking to work with the current State Member Sandy Bolton and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, to work on releasing some land.

This land with tiny houses or demountable style housing could help fix some of the housing affordability and availability currently in our town. With essential services like teachers, police, nurses, fireman etc. I would look at rental subsidies so we

attract these important people to our region that currently we can not attract due to this current crisis.

Everything.

The Rothschild-controlled London Times predicted in 1865 when Abraham Lincoln proposed this financial policy “that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world”.

When elected I will work to: 1. End the debt-based monetary system by re-establishing the “people’s bank”. 2. End taxation of the people. 3. Prohibit the government from borrowing money.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

My thanks to Arcare Aged Care I am writing to say thank you to Arcare Peregian Springs which is celebrating its nine-year anniversary (Noosa Today 22 April 2022).

In her 90s, my mother spent her last years at this wonderful five-star facility and she loved every minute of being there. As her daughter I was constantly overjoyed by the great care and love she received, the expressed lived values shared by staff and residents’ families, the lovely meals which families were welcomed to share, and of course the elegant lodgings. It is very dispiriting to hear of the dreadful circumstances some aged care facilities offer elsewhere. I feel so lucky that my darling mother was in such a lovely place.

Recover park I’m wondering when (and if) the Noosa Council will be letting my family have access to the Noosa Heads Car Park (formally know as the Lions Park) to play before it’s fenced and receives vehicles again. It’s really good as a park and perhaps the council should consider it being converted permanently to parklands as there are plenty of buses that service Hastings Street in the busy periods.

No pokies for Peregian Beach Keith Jackson’s closing comment at the end of his article on Peregian Beach Surf Club issues (29 April 2022), infers that the previous Noosa Council had a negative attitude to the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club. This was not the case.

In 2018, The Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club, supported by Ms McCready, proposed to Noosa Council that the clubhouse be repositioned on the skate bowl site in Peregian Beach, a site that was even closer to the ocean and in an erosion-prone area. Therefore, council staff advised that it would be impossible for council officers to support a lease that involved the relocation of the clubhouse closer to the ocean.

In 2019, the council granted a three-year lease over the clubhouse to Queensland’s Surf Life Saving Sunshine Coast Branch. At the time, Ms McCready and others promoted the SLSQ business model, which depended on financing lifesaving with poker machines and the sale of alcohol. This caused major conflict in the Peregian Beach community since so many were opposed to gambling machines in the clubhouse. The council agreed and this was stipulated in the lease.

On 21 April of this year, Noosa’s councillors unanimously voted to “authorise the CEO to enter into negotiations for a 10-year lease to Peregian Beach SLSC Inc”. The CEO must ensure that this new lease does not allow the financing of the club’s lifesaving activities with poker machines.

Ian Glew recently made the early morning trek to Castaways Beach for a sunrise photo, hoping for that stunning rise of the sun. “Unfortunately, mother nature wasn’t playing the colour game that morning so I turned the camera to a stunning beach shot,” he said.

and Newcastle [to China]. (What I didn’t know is how much else China owns in Australia!)

From the port of Newcastle, my research tells me, in 2020 China exported 158 million tons of coal worldwide. If Australian coal is emitting emissions, wherever it is, shouldn’t this be counted Australian emissions?

And so, if this is the case why are we not simply using our own coal for our energy supply? Our emissions in Australia would be a fraction of the emissions emitted by our coal worldwide.

Then we can return to sanity and stop making the rich richer by putting in miles of so called sustainable infrastructure, which, if you do your maths, uses more energy to produce, than energy it produces.

And while we are on the subject, have any of those who spout about emissions looked at how many coal fired plants China has and how many more they plan?

Rise of Independents What is it with the Liberal and National parties, aided and abetted by sections of the media, that they have this hang up about independent candidates and the possibility of a “hung” parliament?

Have Scott Morrison and Barnaby Joyce ever paused to wonder why more than 30 per cent of the voting public are not going to cast their votes for the major parties? Has it not occurred to them that a significant proportion of voters just do not want to vote for them; do not trust them, and want a parliament that better reflects the values and aspirations of the broader community and not the vested interests of a few?

To denigrate the successful, professional women who are putting themselves forward with alternative polices reflects, dare I say it, the out of touch, arrogant and in many cases, misogynistic views, of our so-called leaders.

What is “fake” about an independent candidate that has rallied massive grass roots support through community gatherings, kitchen table conversations, and the like. These independents have put themselves forward for election with the support of a considerable groundswell of people in their local communities. These are candidates who have the backing of their communities unlike the captain’s

picks parachuted into electorates without any consideration of the wishes of those they seek to represent. The attack on the independents is a slur on the thousands of community members who are supporting them. And when campaign donations are declared, after the election, it will be shown that the bulk of donations these candidates have attracted have come from small, individual donations and not from corporate bankrolling.

The scare campaign on the fallacious argument that a vote for independents will lead to chaos is quite pathetic. The chaos that Morrison and Joyce are worried about is the chaos to the patronage system that they have had control of. They are frightened of the chaos that will ensue to their rigged system of dispersing community grants. They are apoplectic at the thought they may no longer be able to stack the boards and committees of government agencies because of the scrutiny of the independents.

Far from creating instability, independents will be able to ensure better government in the national interest. A hung parliament could end the age of entitlement perpetuated so long by the major parties.

To claim, as Morrison has done, that his government would never have been able to make the 1000 or so decisions they made during the Covid pandemic is complete nonsense.

Most of the decisions made during the pandemic were made by National Cabinet and by executive orders. Very few decisions required legislative support and most had bipartisan support in any case.

Make no mistake, this scare campaign against the independents has nothing to do with good governance and everything to do with a governing coalition that is frightened of losing the perks of office.

Economy and climate change The thrust of the Coalition’s campaign is that Labor cannot manage the economy. The rest of the world does not agree. Euromoney, the London based Eurocentric magazine, has selected a national financial manager from across the world every year since 1968. An Australian minister for finance (treasurer) has only been chosen twice. Interestingly, both finance managers of the year have been in a Labor government, Keating and Swan.

If a Labor government had been in power for the last six years and done much what the Coalition government did to ease the pain of the pandemic, the Coalition would have been howling about the national debt. If we came through the pandemic relatively unscathed, it was because the Coalition was forced to do what Labor would normally do.

When Labor has a debt at the end of the year, the Coalition claims it is the end of the world. When the Coalition runs a debt, it’s good management.

It won’t really matter what the debt is, however. If climate change is not addressed by rapidly cutting the use of fossil fuels, nothing else will really matter.

Steve Hall, Cooroy

Gardens in need of care As regular visitors to the Noosa Botanic Gardens in Lake MacDonald, we have become terribly disappointed with the conditions the gardens are in. As Noosa prioritises tourism and claims to market assets accordingly ,the deplorable state of these gardens is both incongruous and unacceptable.

The area immediately below the amphitheatre is weed-infested, paths are littered with palm fronds and leaf litter. The waterflow in the creek is impeded by fallen branches and fronds and the general appearance suggests a lack of interest and care.

It is my understanding that despite the best efforts of the volunteers, Council only contributes one employee. Council’s failure to properly develop and maintain this asset is both disappointing and unacceptable.

I would suggest that responsible councillors visit both Noosa Botanic Gardens and the Maroochydore Bushland Gardens to gain insight and understanding how much assets can be responsibly managed.

This is an issue which I and many others who frequent the gardens would encourage Council to review immediately.

With the monthly concerts in the gardens, surely there is an incentive to tidy them up to encourage more people to walk through the gardens without noxious weeds half a metre high meeting you at the boat ramp entrance.

Council round up Well, it’s been worth the wait. The brand-new Hinterland Adventure Playground has opened!

The nature-based, all-abilities playground has a variety of play zones to suit all energy levels and is already being well used and loved by so many in our community.

Input from business groups, local operators and industry leaders has been key to developing Council’s new Economic Development Strategy 2021-2030. It aims to deliver a dynamic, resilient economy for future generations.

The strategy builds on Council’s ongoing commitment to diversity and grow employment and economic opportunities. It has a real focus on achieving growth in the smart industry sectors.

The new strategy reflects the very different world to when the last strategy was adopted in 2016. This new strategy includes the rapidly changing technology industry, a highly mobile workforce, unpredictable nature of Covid-19 and the emerging challenges of talent, workforce and accommodation availability.

The 10-year plan connects the strong environmental values of our community to futurefocused, technology and data-driven actions to find creative and resourceful solutions to economic and environmental challenges.

We continue to garner feedback from our community.

The results of our first Liveability Survey are in.

Thanks to the 1600-plus people who shared what they care about most in their neighbourhoods and gave a rating of their experience.

Noosa Shire neighbourhoods are performing well where it matters most - meeting community members’ values regarding the local economy and environmental sustainability. A sense of community and the natural environment rank highly as strengths of Noosa Shire.

General condition of public open spaces and walking/cycling paths are also highly valued by the community.

The data we have derived will help Council prioritise future investment and works, as well as current budget deliberations.

It was great to see people making use of the free holiday buses to get around town over Easter. Free holiday buses have finished with Easter now over, but our trial of free weekend bus travel continues. Weekend travel is free on all existing Translink services operating within Noosa.

With the introduction of free weekend buses, along with the existing Free Holiday Bus initiative, free public transport is avail-

able in Noosa for approximately 145 days of the year.

The weekend free bus trial includes existing Translink services 626, 627, 628, 629 and 632 covering Tewantin, Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Noosa Heads, Parklands, Noosa Junction, Noosaville, Cooran, Cooroy and Pomona.

Routes 620, 630 and 631 travel outside of the Noosa Shire Council area and are not included in the free service.

The aim is to help more people trying to get in to busy locations like Hastings Street, where we know finding a park can be difficult, especially on weekends and during the upcoming Noosa Parade upgrade.

Last week Council approved a 10-year lease for the Peregian Beach Surf Club building.

Council’s chief executive officer Scott Waters will begin lease negotiations with the new club.

It will also see volunteer lifesavers patrol the beach from September to May. Council will consider allocating $71,000 a year for three years to fund lifeguard services on Saturdays and public holidays as well painting of the building.

What has been an incredibly popular addition to Main Beach is the new beach access mat enabling people of all abilities to visit the beach.

Whether using a wheelchair or mobility scooter, or for those who find walking on sand difficult, or even just have kids in strollers or prams, the new mat will make accessing the beach easier. Funded by Tewantin-Noosa Lions Club, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, and Council, the 50-metre Mobi-Mat will be in place at the access ramp in front of the surf club 365 days a year, except during storms and king tides.

Noosa Main Beach will now be added to a national database of beaches that accommodate all abilities - accessiblebeaches.com Finally, make sure you’re prepared for severe weather by checking out our Disaster Dashboard and signing up to Noosa Alert for email/text alerts.

The Dashboard has up-to-date information such as weather warnings, road closures and power outages, as well as our Emergency Action Guide for practical advice on what to do before, during and after a range of disasters.

Development change sets precedent It has been concerning to see the very late notice for cessation of development works at the Grasstree Court Blue Care Aged Care Facility sites (Lot 6 and 9).

We watched the livestream of the Council meeting and were disturbed by the bias of information presented to base decisions upon and also the precedence Noosa Council are putting in place. Noosa residents should rightly be concerned of the future effects of such precedence.

Lot 9 and Lot 6 have been approved by Council for development. Blue Care have followed all the processes required by local and State government bodies. After spending significant money to progress the site to provide a community need (aged care housing), the Noosa Council has effectively decided to cease ongoing development so it can be reviewed. Cr Stockwell has led the change in direction with a proposal that Lot 9 be left untouched for biodiversity reasons, while Lot 6 be developed for

lower socio-economic housing purposes. Cr Stockwell stated changed needs of the community and the latest Bio-Map information as reasons for jeopardising a business commitment and service for aged members of our community.

It concerns us that there was no discussion in the streamed Council meeting regards what comprises the greater need: aged care provision versus lower socio-economic housing demand in the local area. Has Council established which need will greater benefit the community? If lower socio-economic housing is required - is the proposed development at Lot 6 the most effective option? High rise accommodation would provide much more availability of housing for the land invested.

If we are truly about reduced land-use and increased housing, then high-rise infrastructure would make more sense, however, it’s doubtful that the Council will reverse its stance on this.

Cr Stockwell discussed BioMap changes in the area as drivers for halting the proposed land-use. What precedence does this set for other developed and developing areas within our shire. A few decades ago the Council de-

cided to move the location of the Noosa River to support development of Hastings Street.

The historic photographs of the aquatic species once caught here and on display in resident ferries leaves no doubt that this has had a major impact on the bio-diversity of the Noosa River. The system has shallowed ever since, and ratepayers now spend yearly monies trying to sandbag and prevent the river from returning to where it wants to be. Will Cr Stockwell be consistent and put the BioMap over the Noosa River and return it to where it rightfully should be based on his current thinking and strategy?

The late notice of the change of direction for Noosa Council is not a good look. It does not leave ratepayers with confidence that solid information, planning and process are part of the Council mode of operation. To have a business follow process and begin to invest significant amounts of money, to then be put on hold with risk of their business being withdrawn, does not leave ratepayers with the impression we are being managed by a professional outfit.

Cr Stockwell spoke of climate change and fire threat as being reasons for putting the de-

LETTERS

velopment on hold. Are Cr Stockwell and the Council able to provide quantification of the percentages of natural climate change versus human-induced change that then offer real natural threat in this area? If it is a loose (qualitative) scientific model he is working from, then he must appreciate the consequence of making significant economic decisions on the basis of a subjective model and what economic impacts this has on the local community.

Community, environment and economic need are a balancing act for planners and we appreciate compromises must be made at the cost of any of these attributes to better sustain longer term objectives. We believe Cr Stockwell must be more transparent in communicating all the accurate information (both sides) relevant to this development and the decision. He and the Council must better demonstrate how the decision is in the best interests of community and on behalf of rate payers and our community be very careful of the precedence they now plan to set.

New play, Throne, is set to premiere at Anywhere Festival with performances in a secret location in Noosa on May 13 and 14 at 7pm.

Are house and home the same thing?

For five adolescents, their home is the local public toilet, a place they can take refuge while finding their place in a world that is moving too fast for them.

Questioning whether they have been given the right tools by their parents and society for the daunting job of adulthood, they befriend Throne, the caretaker, but is he who they think he is? The toilet harbours the stories of broken souls trying to find where they belong in the large gap between the rich and the poor.

They are always waiting, waiting for their opportunity, waiting for the day the gap gets too big that the poor will have nothing more to eat... so they’ll eat the rich.

Celebrated Melbourne artist shines at Gallery

Trad folk on steroids with a splash of colour and a high-energy quirky edge.

The Hillbilly Goats here Festival favourites, Golden Fiddle recipients, and four-time Bluegrass Golden Guitar finalists, The Hillbilly Goats are bringing their mountain music and harmonies to The Imperial Hotel on Friday 27 May. Trad folk on steroids with a splash of colour and a high-energy quirky edge, these Goats have forged their own path, having released four studio albums specialising in mountain music.

Featuring banjo, bones, double bass, fiddle, tap dancing, three-part harmonies and stories, The Hillbilly Goats transport you on a journey of the history of mountain music’s evolution into blues, country and bluegrass. These guys aren’t just a band – they’re a show!

The Goats are passionate in their research and delivery of old time traditional folk music, sharing the mountain music that began in the late 1600s when the Scots Irish immigrants first settled in the Appalachian Mountains of America.

The mountain music story progresses through the Africans bringing the banjo up to

the Blue Ridge in the 1860s, through the evolution into country music (1927), and then bluegrass in the late 1930s.

In researching music that’s almost lost and rearranging it to record and present to live audiences, The Goats are keeping old folk music alive for future generations. Their musical twist on traditional songs – with big harmonies, a heavy presence of hard fiddle and fast harmonica – have seen them carve their own niche at major festivals nationwide.

The band members are never satisfied with their own instruments and continually swap over and change positions on stage - you won’t know where to look or who to watch!

Each member is their own character to love.

You’ll see Goat Girl running through the crowd rattling the bones, Goat Boy playing three instruments at once (drums with his feet, banjo in hand and harmonica on a brace), while the Giddy Goat dances up a storm - while playing fiddle flat out!

TICKETS: Pre-sale $25 (+ booking fee) through Oztix. 18+ event. Doors open 7.30pm

Directors of The Gallery Eumundi, Karen and Steve Beardsley opened the solo exhibition Cinema du Look by celebrated Melbourne artist Steve Rosendale on Saturday night to an excited audience eager to meet the artist and discuss his carefully constructed works in oil.

After two years of separation between the artist, the gallery and the collectors, the energy was palpable as non-stop discussions and enjoyment filled the fabulous vibrant gallery space on Hastings Street.

Nostalgia and atmospheric drama are captured with a gripping reality in the new collection Cinema du Look by Steve Rosendale.

The seemingly simple photographic realism leads you into an engaging narrative while the cinematographic lighting enhances the true essence of the moment.

It’s impossible not to fall into the glamour of a bygone era that hints at a vague recollection of vintage film and memories past.

The subjects alone do not tell the whole story. It’s the carefully considered palette with enhancing light effects that add the final magical impact.

A Steve Rosendale artwork is more than a painting. It is a doorway into the realms of remembrance, a trigger for past times, escapism with a hint of glamour.

To appreciate the intensity of this show

Nostalgia and atmospheric drama are captured with a gripping reality in the new collection Cinema du Look by Steve Rosendale. the works need to be experienced in person.

You are invited to view the exhibition until Sunday 8 May at The Gallery Eumundi, 6/32 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads.

The exhibition can also be viewed online at Cinema du Look.

Multi-talented trio to play The Beier, Griffin, Pollak Trio will bring together three multi-talented musicians who have played together in various combinations over many years when they perform next month at Maleny.

Some of their previous groups are Ross Daly’s Australian Labyrinth, Dva, dididumdum, Makedonski Bop and The Balkanics.

The฀music฀played฀by฀the฀B•G•P฀Trio฀are฀all฀ original compositions, many of which are influenced by Macedonian traditional music with a focus on rhythmic variation and nonWestern modes.

However, each of the three players brings a diverse array of sounds, skills, styles, and emotional content to the music that develops and

extends each of the compositions.

The real strength of the trio lies with the journeys that these pieces are taken by way of the improvisations and solos of all three players and also by the ease with which they all play and improvise together.

The฀ sound฀ of฀ the฀ B•G•P฀ Trio฀ is฀ fresh,฀ but฀ listeners can also hear the maturity and depth that long-term musical partnerships can bestow.

The trio will perform on Saturday 4 June at 7.30pm at Maleny Players Theatre, Maleny Showgrounds.

Tickets are $25 and are available at eventbrite.com/e/beiergriffinpollak-trio-concerttickets-328348147147

Chefs putting on a show

By Abbey Cannan Over three days of spectacular dining, Frenchies Brasserie Noosaville’s head chef Fabian Oliveau welcomed his friend and worldclass chef, Justin North, into the kitchen to produce a truly mouth-watering menu.

Having worked together at the iconic Centenial Hotel in Sydney, Fabian and Justin clearly knew how to bring the best out of each other as they came together again to delight Noosa guests.

Well known for his appearances on MasterChef, Justin was named 2009 SMH Chef of the Year, is the author of award-winning cookbooks, and his restaurants have been awarded some of Australia’s top honours.

During his stay in Noosa, the chef immersed himself in the foodie scene, trying an array of cuisine from Alba by Kuruvita to the local backpackers.

When he wasn’t tasting the creations of others, Justin spent his time in the kitchen working hard with Fabian to prepare some exceptional dishes for the crowds.

Those who were lucky enough to score a table at Frenchies for the Cooking with Friends event, rom 28 to 30 April, were able to choose from a la carte or a set menu created by Justin and Fabian.

We were greeted by a warm ambience and attentive staff, deciding it would be silly not to try the full four course menu, which was well priced for a special occasion at $105.

For a 24-year-old coast girl who’s usual week-night dinner includes avocado toast or sharing leftovers with her roommates, this definitely was a special occasion.

Now, your value in my opinion may have fallen after hearing about my regular dining experiences, but I was with an Aussie-Italian boy from Melbourne who tends to eat just as much as the wine he drinks, and for once he was not left hungry.

Instead, he left full of ravioli, Wagyu, parfait, red wine, Cognac, and a smile on his face after thanking the chefs.

The smile could’ve very well been because of my great jokes and the fact that I let him drink most of the wine, but I’m going to assume it’s because it was one of the best meals he’s ever had.

Although, his favourite meal is probably his nonna’s pasta, but my granny hasn’t cooked for me in a while (pick up your game Lorraine), so I can confidently say it was the best meal I’ve tasted in a long time.

For entree we had a scallop and prawn ravioli, with a verbena sand crab bisque.

Frenchies Brasserie Noosaville featured a warm ambience and attentive staff.

For entree we had a scallop and prawn ravioli, with a verbena sand crab bisque.

My favourite dish, the main, was a roast Wagyu flat iron, with a parsnip puree, golden shallots, Sarladaise potato and Bercy sauce.

When I saw the pre-dessert on the menu I was delighted to find out that it’s acceptable to have two desserts, and to cleanse the pal-

true meaning of fine-dining, and will no longer be accepting a pub meal or takeaway fish and chips for a date. Sorry boys.

To finish, the main dessert was a chocolate and earl grey tart with macerated figs and mascarpone.

Showcasing exciting Sunshine Coast gourmet tastes Exciting food and produce businesses will showcase the taste creativity of the Sunshine Coast when Regional Flavours returns to South Bank Parklands from May 13 to 15.

A huge array of Sunshine Coast chef talent and creative food businesses including Dale Chapman and Peter Kuruvita plus Silver Tongue Foods (Maroochydore), Hum Honey (Peachester), The Village Pickle (Nambour) and many more will showcase the region’s exciting gourmet tastes and products across masterclass stages and the food-lovers’ market stalls next month.

The Sunshine Coast has the largest regional representation at the event and will also share creations from renowned businesses including Chocolate Country (Montville), Bonefide Broth Bar (Noosa Heads), German Bakehouse (Coolum Beach), Goose on the Loose Premium Salami (Mooloolaba), Kenilworth Dairies (Kenilworth), Noosa Black Garlic / The Noosa Fine Food Company (Perigian Beach) and Sunshine Coast Cider (Kunda Park).

Themed this year as The Ultimate Grazing Table, Regional Flavours is a weekendlong festival dedicated to the best local, Queensland and Australian producers and foodies with a thrilling mix of market stalls, immersive experiences, esteemed chefs and restaurateurs in live demonstrations and masterclasses.

36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 May, 2022

Peter Kuruvita will present on the main stage on Sunday 15 May. Dale Chapman will present exciting ways to use indigenous ingredients on the Greenhouse stage on Sunday 15 May from 11.15am to noon while Peter Kuruvita will present on the Main Stage on Sunday 15 May from 1.45pm to 2.30pm. They will be joined by other celebrity chefs Miguel Maestre and Alastair McLeod, Masterchef alum Georgia Barnes, Khanh Ong, Courtney Roulston and the chefs behind big name restaurants Otto Italian, Paper Daisy, Stanley, Agnes, Golden Pig, Rosmarino and newcomer, Essa, in a

massive line up of some of the country’s bestloved cooks across the Regional Flavours weekend.

In addition to the Sunshine Coast’s incredible representation, a selection of farmers, graziers, growers, winemakers, brewers, distillers, and artisan producers from around Australia will showcase their wares at the market section of Regional Flavours while the demonstrations from classic Italian and Chinese to wine and cheese pairings, a Gin Lovers experience and farm to fork sustainability will be presented across three stages.

One of the many highlights of the event will be the native cooking demonstration from Dale Chapman, creator of My Dilly Bag. A bush tucker pioneer and award-winning slow food chef based on the Sunshine Coast, Ms Chapman’s extensive culinary experience and knowledge has seen her teach and promote Bush Tucker in culinary capitals of France, Italy and Japan.

“In the last two decades I have travelled extensively throughout Australia and overseas showcasing Australian native food and educating groups and individuals on bush tucker.

“Our passion at My Dilly Bag is to ensure both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples feel comfortable in learning from and about each other in a way that clearly demonstrates mutual respect and acceptance

and I look forward to sharing this at Regional Flavours,” Ms Chapman said.

Live music and DJ sets will also be happening across three venues while Kids Collective will get the young ones interested on taking a sustainable food journey from an early age. First-time stallholders at the event will be slow-food producers Silver Tongue Foods from Maroochydore, which was started as a result of Covid when owner Kristina Kucan lost her employment during the first round of lock downs and started baking from home. Along with husband Andy Tolson, they now make naturally leavened organic lavosh (sourdough) without using preservatives, artificial flavours or colours.

“Thanks to the support of our community we have been able to grow the business and are excited to showcase our products directly to the public in Brisbane including our Fleur- Sourdough Lavosh which has local edible organic flowers and herb flowers from a Sunshine Coast grower hand placed on the lavosh,” Ms Kucan said.

“Our business is a genuine covid start-up which started from my home kitchen, followed by shared kitchens to fast forward having our own commercial kitchen to produce our crackers. Our crackers are 100 per cent naturally leavened, hand- baked and handpacked and we can’t wait to share them with foodies at Regional Flavours.”

SPORT NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Junior Dolphins in action It was another action-packed round for the Noosa Dolphin Junior teams on the May Day long weekend. We take you around the grounds for all the highlights of the second round of the 2022 rugby season.

Under eights On a rain-soaked morning down in Maroochydore, the Fins took to the field early. Last week’s player of the match, Malik, continued his good form, alongside some barnstorming runs from Mason the Rocket Man. Stella put in her usual consistent shift, and Zach B proved, for the second week in a row, that size doesn’t matter. Ari was an ever-present pest around the breakdown, ensuring Gympie was in for a long morning. There was some great defence from Hugo, while birthday boy and player of the match, Teddy Andrews played well in tight to top off the game, which was another good solid hit out and win.

Afterwards, as the sun pierced through, Noosa Reds took to the field for game two. After some great lead up work from Harry, it was Jenson who was there to pick up a meat pie, with those legs pumping he is hard to stop.

Zach Dwyer played the everywhere man in defence and displayed some fantastic zig zag runs. He offloaded onto the quiet but barnstorming Henry who left players in his wake.

Then some classy footy work saw Johnny cross for a couple. A switched-on Hunter came to play, also receiving player of the match honours. Meanwhile it was big Jack with the try of the game, running straight through the middle. It was a great win for the Reds with both U8s teams going up 2-0. There are big things ahead.

Under nines The U9 Dolphins played Flinders at Matthew Flinders at Buderim. On a damp ground, the boys showed great sportsmanship, lending players to the opposing team to enable all players to have a competitive game and ensure they were all worn out at the final whistle.

U14s go head to head.

Our defence and structure continues to improve with some solid ball defence and running by the team, specifically Mason and Sol in this match. We also saw a magic dive tackle

by Emmerson which is rare in this age group.

Many of our players got over the try line (Leo, Tom, Taylor, Mason, Barnaby) with Eric, Harvey and Emmerson all managing a trifecta.

Well done team, it was a great game to watch.

Under 10s What a cracking game for the Dolphin U10s Reds against Caloundra in round two. This outing saw all the training and growing knowledge of the game they play in heaven come together for the Reds in what was a very promising display of teamwork and individual skill.

With only one sub, the second half slowed and play was less tight, but there were still some moments of brilliance with a breakout run by Duke setting up a great try for Zac, aided by Caesar. Despite troublesome wind and heckling from the opposition, prop Tommy gave a master-class in kicking, sending all three opportunities through the posts. Some great runs from Ethan, and Zac was awarded player of the match. Great to see this team really coming together.

Trades & Services V

Cracking tackle by U9s.

Later in the afternoon, our two U10s teams played the curtain raiser to the A-Grade competition at Noosa’s home ground. The boys were a little nervous playing in front of a bigger crowd, but after running out through cheering lines of encouraging adult Dolphins players, they were pumped. This is what being a part of an awesome club is all about! The Fins won the day, with Marcus getting across the line twice. Well done to all the U10s.

Under 11s Surprised by how wet the fields were when we arrived at the ground, we knew it was going to be another game dominated by the forwards.

With school rugby clubs becoming more focused on the club competition the U11s Dolphins met a better-drilled Matthew Flinders

team from years past. We were on the backfoot early, conceding numerous penalties at the breakdowns. This led to a glut of possession to Flinders resulting in the first try to the opposition. Once we were able to hold the ball and build momentum we looked good only to let ourselves down with loose passes and dropped ball as can happen early in the season.

An individual piece of brilliance from Lenni started with a grubber through the opposition line, then he kept on the toe and regathered to score our first try under the posts. The game hung in the balance with both teams trading possession unable to make the killer blow. Forward Victor was again strong in defence and newcomers Aidan and Liam performed admirably in the tough conditions.

A win against our throw-in on our try line led to a Flinders try to win the game. It was a much-improved effort from last weekend and with work still to do at the early stages of the season, we are expecting big things from the U11s Dolphins in the weeks ahead.

Under 14s Under 14s Noosa Dolphins defeated by Caloundra 28 – 24 (written by lock Toby Eller) Round two saw the U14s Dolphins face a new side in the under 14s competition, Caloundra.

The last time Noosa played against Caloundra was in under 11s. From all points of view, Caloundra was a dark horse as no one knew anything about them or how they would play.

Caloundra certainly turned heads when they scored the first try off Noosa’s opening kickoff. The first half continued all Caloundra’s way with them scoring three converted tries to Noosa’s one unconverted try.

The second half saw Noosa claw their way back, scoring three tries and two conversions to Caloundra’s one converted try. Sadly, that was not enough. Both teams played well at Flinders in the very wet and muddy conditions. Dominoes Player of the Match was Liam Oliver.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Swells and winds hinder With the Easter holidays all done and dusted, Mother Nature continues to put the brakes on the offshore scene with two metres of swell and persistent southeast winds.

This has kept many anglers searching for other options with the estuary the most popular.

When the opportunity arises, a few of the larger charter boats made the effort to fish Sunshine Reef and with lighter current they had some success. A mixed bag of reef fish including sweetlip, pearlies, some cracking coral trout and the occasional big Spanish mackerel hit the deck. These fish falling for live baits and whole pilchard dead baits fished hard on the bottom. The tuna are very much active and out on the feed but, at this moment in time, all we can do is watch from the land.

Inside, the whiting have been on the move and the river mouths of both Noosa and the Maroochy have been holding good fish around the mid 30cm mark. These fish have been feeding hard on worms, yabbies, and small strip baits of squid. Simple running sinker rigs with 4-6lb lines provide the most fun as these fish certainly fight hard for their size. As we have been having a reasonable run of prawns in the Noosa of late, it’s not a bad idea to chase these whiting on surface poppers as well.

Focusing on the river mouth, the bigger flathead have been found along the deeper drop offs, especially around the dog beach and current line. Using the same running sinker rig works very well here too. It is wise to step up leaders to 12lb or more and try using light gauge gang hooks with whole hardy heads or pilchards as bait. These bigger whole fish baits will get the attention of the bigger fish. Be sure to safely release the bigger fish as they are fattening up for the winter breeding season. Lip grips are a great tool to help with hook removal and to support bigger fish under their belly for photos and return.

In the lower estuary around woods bays, Noosa sound and along the current line, the trevally and the occasional tailor have been giving anglers a run for their money. These fish are taking a wide variety of baits with small herring live baits the go to along with larger 70-90mm surface walkers and poppers. These fish love to feed off the surface during the early mornings so get out there and be sure to have something ready to throw at any bust ups as it can happen very quickly and be over just a fast.

Running 8lb gear gives you more chance to apply a bit of pressure and get these fish in. Look at Bassday Sugapens and Skinny Pops as well as Rapala x-rap poppers. If anglers are wanting to chase these fish under the surface the Keitech easy shiner in silver flash minnow and wakasagi have been smashing the diamond and golden trevallies.

Lastly, the crabs are on the move! We have

Taco Janz with a nice Jack from the river. seen some cracking catches and if you own a pot or two, now is the time to get them in the water. Make sure your pots are compliant and clearly marked as fisheries have been out on patrol over the holiday season. Be sure to leave your pots along the mangrove edges and not in the main boating channel and hopefully you could be dining on a big buck!

On the freshwater scene a few reports from Borumba of bass being captured on small blades and Jackall TN 60. Also, at Lake McDonald search baits such as spinnerbaits cast to the edges of the weed should get you amongst a bass or two.

Golf’s tops for this couple For a couple who spent their life playing tennis and raised two US college tennis players, golf has become a pretty important part of Bill and Ruby Jaede’s life.

The Jaedes had limited exposure to the game until they retired to Noosa a couple of years ago.

Ruby Jaede did not even have a Golf Australia handicap until 11 months ago. And, before his retirement, Bill Jaede’s golf experience was limited to the occasional corporate romp.

But they’ve made up for lost time since they settled at Noosa Springs.

Both appear regularly on the resort’s competition results sheets, and at the weekend they both featured in the placings for the Saturday stableford competition.

Bill’s 40 points was good enough for runnerup honours in the men’s division, while Ruby tallied 43 points to win the ladies’ competition.

Ruby puts her success down to regular practice sessions with teaching professional Greg Lynch, and just playing the game more frequently.

“I think I’ve benefited from my weekly sessions with Greg, and I’m trying to play two or three competition rounds each week,” she said.

When Ruby took up the game less than a year ago, her handicap was 36.8. It’s now 22.1, and falling fast. Bill plays off a useful 10 handicap.

The Jaedes lived in Brisbane, interspersed with stints in Singapore, before Bill, a commodity trader, retired and relocated to Noosa in 2020.

Until then, their sport of choice had been tennis.

Bill and Ruby were regular players, and their son Jack was an outstanding junior who won a tennis scholarship to the University of Southern California, while younger brother Ryan attended a Division 1 college in South Carolina.

“When we retired, we made a conscious decision that we were going to take up golf,” Ruby said.

“Golf’s much easier on the body than tennis.”

Everybody wants to play at Cooroy More than a month before the event, the field for this year’s Cooroy Women’s Open is already full, with Cooroy Golf Club now placing women on a wait list for the popular event.

Maleny’s Debbie Hansen booked the 124th – and final – spot late last week, and the next 10 women to register will be on a wait list, in case of drop-outs.

The rush to register for the Cooroy Women’s Open is an indication of the popularity of women’s golf on the Sunshine Coast.

The event, on Tuesday 7June, will be played in three divisions. Divisions 1 and 2 will be a stroke competition, while those in Division 3 will play stableford.

The event is open to amateur golfers who hold a Golf Australia handicap and are members of an affiliated club.

Two Classics on Coast this year Only a few places remain in this year’s Sunshine Coast Winter Classic, the popular golf tournament established to showcase the region’s best golf courses, including Noosa Springs and Peregian.

But, even if they miss out on next month’s Winter Classic, golfers can still book a spot in a second event, a Spring Classic, scheduled for 10-14 October.

The idea of a Sunshine Coast Winter Classic was floated three years ago but, because of Covid-19 travel restrictions, the first Classic was delayed until October 2020. The event was such a success that a Winter Classic quickly followed last June.

This year there will be two.

“The feedback from players was very encouraging and we’ve learned a lot from the first two classics,” Noosa Springs executive general manager Mark Brady, one of the event organisers, said.

How to nail your short game TAKE THE TIP

By Greg Lynch Improving your short game is a sure fire way to lower your scores.

A great place to start is to practice three different trajectories with each of your wedges when you are working on your chipping/pitching to see the effect it has on your distance control.

Changing your ball position will help you to achieve these different trajectories: Higher flight: Position the ball forward in your stance.

Mid flight: Position the ball in the middle of your stance.

Low flight: Position the ball back in your stance.

Try practising these ball positions with all of your wedges and you will be on your way to having plenty of options around the greens and a better handle on your distance control.

Good luck and good golfing.

GREG LYNCH is a PGA teaching professional at Noosa Springs.

· · ·

Bill and Ruby Jaede – golf’s now taken priority over tennis for this talented couple.

“We’re hopeful this will become a major event and have a positive impact on our region’s economy.”

This year’s Winter Classic will be played from 13 to 17 June at Maroochy River, Peregian, Noosa Springs and Twin Waters. Golfers will compete on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with a rest day on Wednesday.

The event is aimed at showcasing the region’s outstanding golf courses and giving interstate and New Zealand golfers a chance to enjoy the Sunshine Coast’s balmy weather.

The Winter and Spring Classics will be 72hole stableford competitions, graded for men and women, offering daily and overall prizes.

The entry fee of $695 includes electric carts, lunch each day.

Book online by going to golfsunshinecoast. com.au Porter mixes it with the Europeans Peregian’s Cassie Porter completed the most successful tournament of her short professional career when she shot rounds of 72, 68, 67 and 73 to finish fourth in the NSW Open at Coolangatta-Tweed Heads at the weekend.

Porter’s eight under par total made her the leading Australian in a strong field, dominated by international stars who compete regularly on the European Ladies Tour.

The event was the final one on this year’s WPGA Tour, and Porter, 19, will now look forward to being invited into more LET events, before tackling qualification tournaments for the US LPGA Tour later in the year.

Peregian’s teaching professional Katelyn Must made the 36-hole cut, shooting a nineover total of 297 and finishing tied 54th.

Solid performance by Kirk Noosa’s Katherine Kirk, who has played only rarely this year on the LPGA Tour, delivered four solid rounds - 69, 73, 73 and 69 – to finish 39th in the weekend’s Palos Verdes Championship in California, won by American Marina Alex.

Elsewhere, the news was grim for Noosa’s elite golfers.

Ryley Martin, who plays and practices at Noosa Springs, missed the cut in the Western Australian Open after rounds of 75 and 72.

And in the Huntsville Championship on the US Korn Ferry Tour in Aalabama, Steve Bowditch’s recent run of moderate form continued, the comeback golfer shooting 80 and 73 to miss the cut by 13 strokes.

Wine’s the prize at Skins The second of this year’s Noosa Springs Skins Series is scheduled for Wednesday 8 June.

The series – four events are scheduled for this year - is a fun social competition with four bottles of wine to be won on each hole.

And if you sink your tee shot on the fourth hole, you will win a Noosa Springs corporate membership valued at $2250.

It’s a team’s stableford competition, with the best three scores on each hole becoming the team score. If two or more teams tie, the wine prize jackpots to the next hole.

The entry fee - $95 for non-members and $49 for members - includes lunch and postgame nibbles.

SPORT

Finlay Jones on the Pommel horse.

Cooroy gymnast awarded Cooroy gymnast Finlay Jones has been awarded the 2021 Gymnastics Australia levels gymnast of the year for his competitive performances.

He will be presented his award later this month when he attends the Australian Gymnastics Championships at the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre.

Finlay started gymnastics at the Cooroy Club in 2008 and was immediately invited to join the boys’ competitive development team.

In 2010 current coach coordinator Jamie Cannon joined the club and had an immediate

impact on Finlay and the boys’ team.

Finlay has had many coaches throughout his career but he has taken his gymnastics to another level through the guidance of senior men’s coach Greg Smyth.

Smyth has brought a new level of focus and knowledge to the team. With his years of experience as a FIG judge and coach, he has delivered strategic outcomes for the men’s team.

He said that he was impressed with Finlay’s tenacity and focus, which is a product of having to work so hard to achieve his results.

The road wasn’t always easy and rewarding for the gymnast.

While achieving some early success winning his first state championship in 2011, he wouldn’t achieve another until 2018.

It took three attempts to qualify for his first national championships but he has found his feet and will be attending his fourth this month. Perseverance was the key for Finlay to start to reap the rewards for all of his training and hard work.

Despite his slow start, Finlay now has an impressive 20 Queensland state championship medals including nine Queensland state titles and 15 national championship medals with seven individual national titles.

He was also selected on the Australian levels tour to the USA in 2020 taking part in his first international competition.

The 2021 season produced his best results of three gold medals for individual apparatus, a bronze in the all around and a silver for the team event.

Focus is now on the 2022 Australian Gymnastics Championships on the Gold Coast where Finlay and his team mates Dean and Lyam Chandler will compete for Queensland in the level 10 division and are hoping for a win for the Queensland team.

Top 10 gets tougher for Noosa Masters swimmers

By Brian Hoepper

U14 team with their medals.

Youth water polo success This Easter, Brisbane was host to the annual Australian Youth Water Polo Championships, the nation’s largest water polo event for players under 14, 16 and 18 years.

More than 600 games were played between clubs from all over Australia, making for an exciting and memorable week of water polo. The tournament was highly anticipated after being cancelled in 2021.

Noosa Water Polo players were represented in the boys U14 and U16 divisons playing under the Sunshine Coast banner and both teams had been training hard in the lead up.

The U14 boys, coached by Maya Grzegozewski, got off to a shaky start in the second division but came home strongly to win the bronze medal, beating Sydney University Cubs convincingly 9-5.

The U16 boys were playing in the top division and, despite having a young team, played some incredible water polo to win their pool and fought their way through to the medal rounds.

They lost in a hard fought game for the bronze to Melbourne Collegians but can hold their heads high after finishing fourth in Australia and first in Queensland.

Smith C and August K were selected into the Australian Cadet Men’s Squad in January and, after their performance at the AYWPC, survived a cut of players and are still standing with hopes to compete at the FINA world championships in Greece late

In 100 years’ time, sports historians might puzzle over the FINA Masters Top 10 results of recent years.

Up until 2019, only the most outstanding athletes made the list.

For Noosa Masters, that meant club legend (and coach) Jan Croft – a perennial star – and a handful of other fine swimmers over the years.

But the Top 10 list for 2020 caused a ripple of delight during post-training coffee.

An unprecedented 13 Noosa swimmers gained Top 10 badges in 39 individual events.

Many had never dreamed of seeing their names up in lights.

Coach Jan jokingly claimed total credit for this remarkable result, but there was a sobering bigger picture explanation, revealed below.

FINA has now released the Top 10 results for 2021, and what a difference.

Only two Noosa swimmers placed in the Top 10 in individual events – the indefatigable freestyler Jan Croft and the aspiring butterfly queen Jo Matthews. Jan placed ninth in the 200m Free (3:31.87), sixth in the 400m (7:24.26) and fourth in the 800m (14:57.61).

Jo placed 10th in the 100m Fly (1:39.83) and eigth in the 200m (3:59.30).

How might those sports historians of the future explain this rollercoaster ride in Top 10 results? The answer lies well beyond the pool.

Put simply, in 2020 the Americans (and many others) were missing.

As Covid ripped through country after country in 2020, competitive swimming disappeared in many places. Some powerhouse nations experienced long lockdowns. Swim meets were a long way down the priority list in seriously suffering societies.

But in those early days, Australia escaped the worst of the pandemic. Enough swim meets were held to allow many swimmers to post times that – unexpectedly – placed them in the top 10 globally.

New names appeared in the FINA lists. But the Americans (and the Germans, the Italians, the Japanese and more) were missing.

In 2021, most of them were back, reclaim-

Noosa legend Jan Croft.

Butterfly queen Jo Matthews. ing their spots in the Top 10.

But for some Noosa swimmers, there was still a glimpse of glory. The results demonstrated an impressive depth in relay swimming.

Fifteen Noosa swimmers placed in Top 10 relay teams: Jan and Jo were joined by Lois Hill, LiQun Hussey, Helen Malar, Wendy Nothdurft, Diane Scott-Davies, Peter Fidler, Brian Hoepper, Robert Jolly, Gerald Little, Studley Martin, Trevor Mathews, Ian Robinson and Ian Tucker.

Who knows what 2022 will bring? A new normal perhaps. Or – with fears that the invasion of Ukraine could provoke a wider European conflict, and with newer variants of the Covid virus striking in various countries – might we see, along with widespread destruction and human suffering, another dramatic impact on FINA Top 10 results? We hope not.

Tigers were kicking goals.

Tigers thrashed Sherwood last weekend.

Tigers demolish Sherwood

By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers belted cellar-dwellers Sherwood by 15 goals at Rococo oval last Saturday to remain sixth on the QAFL ladder heading into the bye this weekend.

Noosa were dominant from the first bounce as key onballers Wallis and Templeton looked to assert their authority at the coalface early and send the home side forward at a relentless pace.

Clever small forward Ethan Johnston put on a clinic in attack and had four majors by the the main break with Noosa up by almost 50 points.

Sherwood never threw the towel in and their chip it around and protect the footy style was a constant which can sometimes be very hard to conquer.

But on this occasion the Noosa side had all the answers as Wallis and Templeton continued to rack up possessions and high half forward Jai Fitzpatrick put on a show for the proNoosa Crowd.

The Prime Train Tommy Baulch also got in on the act booting three majors and having significant impact, particually in the second half. Seb Rodgers continued his good form while defender Lachy Flagg was just superb from the get go.

Tigers were out of reach.

A great time was had at the president’s lunch with special guest Luke Hodge.

Riley Odwyer and Harry Opie were also solid contributors for the victors.

It was a really good, convincing win heading into the bye weekend where all our senior teams have the weekend off. The seniors sit at three wins and losses with their next opponent Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast on 14 May. Media player of the year votes: 5. Jai Fitzpatrick.

Dietrich returns, Dolphins score first victory of season

By Jon Lewis Outstanding defence and the return of experienced Corey Dietrich to the Ray White Noosa Dolphins A Grade contributed to the side’s first victory for the season.

Against an improved Caboolture side, the Dolphins ran out 17-5 victors in the first home fixture.

Dietrich, playing his first game of the season, took out the man of the match honours closely followed by the consistently strong performer Levi Shaw.

“Our defensive effort continues to impress and this week we started to see our combinations in attack take some shape’ coach Matt Buckland said. ‘Still a way to go, but the work being put in by the players will be rewarded as the season unfolds’.

Away again next week against Wynnum, the Ray White Dolphins have an opportunity to secure fourth place in the table at the end of the first round with a victory over the well performing Wynnum side.

“This will be another test for us as we 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 May, 2022

Dolphins soared to their first win of the season. are equal on the table with Wynnum, but a challenge we are keenly looking forward to,” Buckland said.

The Ray White Reserve Grade, Womens and Colts teams were also victorious to make it four from four for the home club.

A standout performance by Alex Hollis bagging a hat trick of tries supported by Callum Phillips and Josh McMaster, saw a 12-0 half time lead extend to a 29-5 victory for the Reserves whilst it was a mix of old and new who led the women to a 53-10 victory.

Evergreen Kelli Dunlop led the way in the midfield, but it was third gamer Ashleigh Wark who took out player of the match honours according to coach Damien Cogill.

“Kelli does what she aways does but I was impressed with the work done by Ash and other new faces Liv Lubrano and first gamers Aqua Meaney and Lucy Grace-Cullen,” Cogill said.

Dolphins Colts coach Brad Torta was satisfied following his teams 10-5 victory over ladder leader University, pointing to solid team effort.

“We have been improving each week as we get numbers to training, so it was great to see the effort rewarded,” Torta said.

The Dolphins Colts have been light on numbers this season but the hard work on the field by the players and off the field by Torta and his assistants Digger Munro and manager Deb Bickle is delivering results. ‘We are seeing good things happening and I am keen for any new or former players to come along and join us’ Torta said.

Cooroy boxers on the rise It has been a busy time for head coach Mark Evans and his crew at the Team Impact Boxing Club Cooroy.

To say they have been full on would be an understatement.

One of their amateur champions turned professional and another pro is in training for his next major fight.

Four of the amateur team travelled north to Townsville to contest the North Queensland Games and another team member is training at the AIS in Canberra, in preparation her trip to Istanbul, Turkey.

There she will represent Australia in the Elite Women’s World Armature Boxing Championships.’’

Bryce Heggerty fought his first professional bout, a four-round fight, in the super- middleweight division.

Heggerty, a former state and national title holder had no problems, winning every round which resulted in him receiving a unanimous points decision.

For gym mate Keren Whitehead, also fighting in the super- middleweight division, it was a totally different contest.

Fighting an eight-rounder for the vacant Queensland title, his opponent, Flynn Pakenham never took a backward step and this resulted in a very tough fight. At the end of eight rounds, judges scored the fight a draw. This will result in a return bout with the date yet to be announced.

The tournament which was held at the Ettamogah Pub in Aussie World, drew a capacity crowd. This was indeed a very encouraging factor for our boys who have chosen to make their career in the tough world of professional boxing.

Ben Cameron-Hands our other professional, with two fights for two wins, fights on Saturday night at the Nissan Arena in Brisbane.

It is this young lad, now fighting in the featherweight division, who finished an amateur career of some 94 fights, during which he won four successive Australian Golden Gloves, plus other state and national titles, that has drawn the attention of some of the biggest promoters in the game. We wish him well.

For the four amateurs who travelled to Townsville, it was indeed a very successful tournament.

Boxing in the 57k division Cohen Robinson won gold, and in the Elite Women’s 60k division, Keana Welsh also won gold.

Carson Lawrence who boxed in the 63k came home with the silver medal.

Page Robinson had the unique experience of boxing on both the Saturday and Sunday nights.

Saturday night she won the gold medal in the 60k division and on Sunday night again won gold, this time in the 63k division.

The North Queensland Games is a multisports event and is a very popular.

For the members of the Team Impact Boxing squad, they came home very impressed with the whole event and are definitely looking forward to their next visit.

It is a great example of promoting the various sports to the more remote areas of Queensland.

For the other member of Team Impact Boxing Club Angie Harries, now in training at the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) in Canberra, it is, in her own words, “the chance of a lifetime”.

Chosen in the Australian team to represent her country at the Elite Women’s World Amateur Boxing Championships, in Istanbul Turkey, she is fully aware of what lies ahead.

Knowing that in Europe amateur boxing is very big she has fully prepared herself both mentally and physically.

The fact that she has been chosen to represent her country on the world stage of amateur boxing is in itself a great achievement.

To this young lady we wish her all the very best.

Despite inclement weather and the Covid restrictions, the game on the 23rd had a good crowd was in attendance.

Prior to the main game which kicked off at 6pm,all Anzac Day traditions were upheld with both Pirates and Gympie teams assembled in front of the clubhouse.

The Tewantin Noosa RSL was, as always, in attendance and represented by Phil Granger.

Standing between the two teams, Phil Granger read the ode and this was followed by a minute’s silence.

Then, much to the enjoyment of the crowd, last year’s bugler 12 year old Sunshine Beach High School student, Jeremiah Montgomery, again stepped forward to sound the Last Post.

At the completion of the ceremony, the young bugler was once again mobbed by admirers and spent some time shaking hands and posing for photos.

It is hoped that this tradition with the Noosa Pirates, the Tewantin Noosa RSL and Jeremiah Montgomery as bugler will be upheld for years to come.

In the main game, the Pirates got off to a good start when in just five minutes they scored when centre Kurt Scheler cut through Gympie defence and with a long run scored wide of the post.

The conversion was missed, leaving Pirates with a 4 -0 lead. However, in the 11th minute Gympie scored off a loose ball and the kick was converted to make it 6-4 Gympie.

But with good forward work, Pirates hit back to score under the posts and with the conversion being good, gave Pirates a 10-6 lead.

Pirates scored again out wide to take the score to16-6.

Then Gympie hit back to make it 16-12 Pirates.

Despite the pouring rain, Gympie decided to again spread the ball wide which resulted in a try on the left wing, which was converted with a great kick from the side line in pouring rain. Gympie 18-16.

Another quick try saw Gympie convert to make it 24-16 in their favour.

Gympie was starting to show a disregard for the wet conditions with wide sweeping runs, but a dropped ball gave Pirates’ possession, enabling them to score.

With the kick being successful, Gympie was cut back to a 24-22 lead.

From then on, the score started to swing Gympie’s way, as they continued to use back line moves, with their bigger backs running on to the ball and playing it out wide.

On the final whistle the score stood at 40-26 for Gympie.

Other games saw Pirates Div.2 A defeat Gympie 26-18. Div2b Palmwoods won 32-22 over Pirates and in the Open Women’s, Pirates won 28-12 over Gympie.

At the completion of the games, players and supporters gathered in Pirates club house for a fundraising jersey auction, which resulted in a $2470 income for the club.

With the ongoing support of the Tewantin Noosa RSL, which has been a happy relationship for some 20 years, I think we can happily say that the Anzac Day tradition of football and good fellowship is in safe hands.

First cut is the deepest Some of the pundits were calling it the greatest day of women’s pro surfing ever.

I wouldn’t go that far but last Saturday’s round of 16 and quarter finals, in excellent waves at Main Break, Margaret River, had all of the elements.

Drama, tragedy, pathos, even a touch of comedy.

But at the end of a very long day, five competitors (plus California’s Caroline Marks, out with injury) had to face the brutal reality of the World Surf League’s new mid-season cut, which is that six women and 10 men under the cut-line exit the championship tour to try to claw their way back over the rest of the year on the Challenger Series.

While it’s a bitter pill to swallow, especially for the rookies whose debut season has only just started, I actually think it’s a good move, as the compelling viewing of last Saturday showed.

And, unlike the last time a mid-season cut was introduced, the requalifying series offers the potential of good surf in premium locations and reasonable prize purses. If you’ve truly got what it takes, you should be back on the championship tour next year.

Having said that, I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Australia’s Sally Fitzgibbons, who seemed to have regained her old form this season, while never losing her spark and her big smile. A veteran of 14 seasons on tour at just 31, Sal has long been considered unlucky not to have won a world title yet. Most years she’s been pretty close. After losing at Margaret’s last weekend, she showed her spirit by smiling right through her post-heat interview, and vowing to be back. And she will be.

The other four to say goodbye last weekend were all rookies, Hawaii’s Bettylou Sakura Johnson and Luana Silva, and Australia’s Molly Picklum and India Robinson. While all of them have shown their depth of talent over the five events so far, Molly Picklum, who only qualified after the withdrawal of a California rookie at the last minute, has been the most impressive with an arsenal of deadly gouges and a real fighting spirit.

As I write (Monday night) two Australian women are on a knife’s edge as they struggle to make the cut despite having surfed brilliantly at Margaret’s so far.

Sunny Coaster Isabella Nichols has a slight edge over Margaret River’s Bronte Macaulay, but when competition resumes they meet in the second semi-final with huge waves expected. This will give Bronte a slight advantage but she needs to go on and win the event whereas Izzy will make the cut if she wins the semi.

Bring it on! Who said women’s surfing wasn’t exciting!

Turbo-charged shots from inside Over 50 years in the surf media, I’ve met some pretty crazy surf photographers whose antics on land were only slightly more subdued than in the water where they seemed to delight in 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 May, 2022

being unceremoniously dumped over the falls in backbreaking surf for the sake of getting a shot of a surfer deep in a barrel.

The likes of Jack McCoy, Dan Merkel, Jeff Divine, Jeff Hornbaker and the late Peter Crawford spring to mind.

But I never knew any one of them – as batcrazy as they could be – to stand in the horrendous Waimea shorebreak on huge days and allow it to smash them while they clicked off the money shot.

This is Clark Little’s bread and butter. He goes down the beach and gets pulverised the way other people head off for a day at the office.

Of course I shouldn’t be surprised. His late

Lynda Scott says goodbye.

older brother Brock, whom I knew a little, was one of the most fearless big wave riders on the North Shore of Oahu, specialising in maxed out Waimea Bay. Clark, too, grew up at the Bay and it’s now also his specialty, albeit in a somewhat different way – a way that has given the world Clark’s view.

Clark’s view is attained by placing himself below the wave as it crashes on the shore and pointing the camera upwards to capture a “deceptively peaceful picture”, to quote his publicist.

But don’t get the idea that this guy is a onetrick pony.

His portfolio is as remarkable as it is diverse, and his new book, The Art of Waves, is

Picture: SUPPLIED

a joy to behold, with the photos supported by great text from Jamie Brisick and a foreword by family friend Kelly Slater, who doesn’t hold back when describing the antics of the wild kid brother he knew as Turbo.

Clark has published previous limited edition books, but this is his first truly international release, published by Ten Speed Press, a division of Penguin Random House, and available in Australia now.

FOOTNOTE: We scattered surf scribe and historian Stuart Scott’s ashes over First Point last week, with a gallery of Sunny Coast surf luminaries there to pay respects. After a rainy day, the sunset was perfect, a fitting sendoff for a good man.

A three-bedroom, three-bathroom, one-car townhome at 4/53 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Saturday, May 7, at 1pm. 278024 resort just minutes to Hastings Street made it exceptionally well-received during the campaign, with prospective buyers commenting the strong investment returns were matched by the appeal of the inevitable personal enjoyment of the property.

This is the 32nd property Chris has sold in the resort since January 2020, and is yet another record sale result, this time for a three-bedroom apartment.

It was also a joyous occasion at the Roark Walsh and Tiffany Wilson listed 6 Mainsails Square in Noosa Heads.

Two registered bidders battled it out until a sale was concluded with a couple who has recently moved to Noosa Heads from Victoria. They were beaming with excitement following their acquisition and new life.

REASON TO SMILE Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Eliza Coppin was all smiles following the sale of apartment 7 Regatta Noosa at 221227 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, prior to the scheduled auction on May 14.

As soon as the property hit the internet, Eliza was busy fielding calls, however a young Brisbane couple were eager to secure it given its proximity to the Noosa

River foreshore, availability of water sports plus all that Gympie Terrace has to offer. The floor plan and an early inspection confirmed their decision.

Negotiations continue with multiple bidders of both: 81 Eumundi Noosa Rd, Noosaville – Eric Seetoo, and 337 Teewah Beach Rd, Noosa North Shore – Nic Hunter and Tom Offermann.

ESTABLISHED AREAS OF VALUE There is a case for buying in the older and more established of a suburb or town .... they were the first of the estates to be developed and are generally in the best location.

That was the case when Greg Parcheta and Mark Goodman of OneAgency Noosa took the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 1 Griffith Ave, Tewantin, to auction.

With two-car garaging and on 779sq m, it was in a front-row seat at Noosa Parklands with large blocks and bushland backdrop.

After a good campaign that attracted local interest, the property was sold under the hammer for $890,000.

It went to Sydney buyers looking for an investment property to add to their portfolio.

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment at 2/12 Crank St, Sunshine Beach, is scheduled for auction at 1pm on Saturday, May 14. 278024 PERFECT BEACHSIDE ESCAPE Interest in the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 2/12 Crank St, Sunshine Beach, is building ahead of the Saturday, May 14, auction.

Marketed by Luke Chen and Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate, the apartment provides single-level living eight steps up from the car parking.

“Inquiry has been mainly Noosa and Brisbane,’’ Lauren said.

“They are loving the renovation that’s been done.

“The apartment is on the same floor as the swimming pool.

“It is in between the village, the beach and the surf club.’’

Of particular appeal is the big outdoor patio, and the internal timber feature wall.

“That has got everyone is oohing and aahing,’’ Lauren said. “The apartment is the perfect beachhead.’’

Coming to the market will be a fourbedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 8 Wave Ave, Noosa Waters.

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment at 2/12 Crank St, Sunshine Beach, is scheduled for auction at 1pm on Saturday, May 14. 278024 The renovated house provides singlelevel living with heated pool and white pavilion.

The first open house will be Saturday, May 7, at 12-12.30pm.

A 700-metre walk to the river and Noosa Yacht Club, again highlights the benefits of early areas of estates.

“The early suburbs are proving to be the pick of the bunch,’’ Lauren said.

“They were generally the ones first built on, so are closest to main features such as the river, the shops or the beaches.’’

PIECE OF HISTORY A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car house circa 1948 on 727sq m at 31 Hilton Tce, Tewantin, is set for auction at 11am on Saturday, May 7.

Jason Wedge of McGrath Estate Agents said the historic home has naturally attracted interest, especially as it is on 727sq m zoned Medium Density Residential.

“It has a lot going for it,’’ Jason said.

“There is the opportunity to update the ground level.

“Further renovate and keep - or take advantage of the size of land in a good lifestyle zone.’’

Interest has mainly been from the local market, as well as Brisbane.

PLEASANT SURPRISE Be pleasantly surprised by the quiet surrounds and the close proximity to the Noosa Village Shopping Centre of a four-bedroom house at 11 Mizzen Ct,

Noosaville, Laguna Real Estate’s Bettina Mertel reports.

Set on 709sq m at the end of a cul-desac, the property is set for auction at 12pm on Saturday, May 7.

The house is designed with a separate self-contained granny flat at the front, that has its own access and courtyard.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT Christmas comes on Friday the 13th.

A two-bedroom, one-bathroom house with pool on 2.25ha at 655 Cooroy-Belli Creek Rd, Black Mountain, offers an unusual option. Christmas trees.

And the property goes to auction at 11am on Friday, May 13, with Kess Prior of Hinternoosa.

So it will be lucky for someone.

“It’s a magical place,’’ Kess said, “... small but it packs a punch.

“The house has been fully renovated in the past 12 months and a pool added.

“There are fantastic mountain and valley views, as well as excellent stonework in the gardens.

“The main thing is the scope to extend.

“The property was a Christmas tree farm. So that area could be re-invigorated to create an extra income stream.

“It would make a great weekender or you could lease the business if the buyer does not want to do the work.’’

No doubting the instant appeal of being 700m away from the Noosa River foreshore, in an impressive family residence with an elegantly restrained design, and high ceilings which allow natural light to drench the generous open plan, lounge, living and dining spaces.

Step forward onto the wide terrace, see the pavilion and dream of spending summer and winter in the glistening pool. Yes, it is heated.

SPECTACULAR NORTH-FACING VIEWS EXOTIC fox tail palms swaying in the breeze make an unforgettable first impression, while a white façade evokes a cool sunny vibe, as well as the idea of seducing escapes to a perfect salty lifestyle on the waterfront.

Open the statement timber and glass panelled front door and behold the enticements of a strikingly sophisticated, Bahamas-infused mid-century modern, design-forward marvel, which scales the height of delectability.

The serenity is palpable in this expansive residence with endless lavish travertine, a restrained palette, neutral tones, clean lines and easy engagement by creating a connection via banks of glass panes and louvres to the view wherever possible.

The play of scale yet intimacy through ceiling heights is evident throughout.

Look left of the hallway, admire the stunning courtyard with pearlescent pool surrounded by ‘lawn’, with a bespoke stone water feature and wonder whether you’d choose a lounge in the sun or a comfy chair on the undercover terrace.

Look ahead to what is undoubtedly nirvana for chic albeit casual living, relaxing and entertaining in the wide-open space.

There’s certainly a feeling someone is about to mix a cocktail and the aromas suggest lunch is on the menu.

Indoors coalesces naturally to outdoors

thanks to sliders disappearing into oblivion, revealing an ever-so-generous dining terrace where memorable times alfresco are created.

Beyond, two levels of manicured lawn occupy an enviable position on the unusually large site with the north-facing waterfrontage is on the idyllic tranquil broad curve of the dazzling waterways. With proximity to the residents-only lock and weir system, which accesses the upper reaches of the Noosa River, also The Woods near Hastings Street, the boat rarely lays idle on the pontoon next to the jetty.

Avid cooks will appreciate the galleystyle kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry including island/breakfast bar, an extralong bench with a window as splashback, looking out to the heliconias and crab claws in the side garden. Of course, it has every high-end appliance necessity, as well as a butler’s pantry with floor-to-ceiling storage.

The master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite has north-facing views of the garden and waterways, and in the south wing are three queen size bedrooms. One has a courtyard and is currently used as study. The other two have front garden views and all share a family-size bathroom with a walk-in shower and deep oval bathtub.

“There’s so much to love about this utterly ravishing absolute waterfront

residence,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Michael McComas. “Living in such a desirable culde-sac, just a few minutes to everything wonderful about Noosaville including the Noosa River foreshore and cosmopolitan Gympie Terrace really does capture the imagination and is evocative of when the hustle stops, summer begins... every day.

“The Noosa Waters Estate has become well recognised as one of Australia’s premier housing precincts for its high calibre of housing design, also for great community spirit. Pride of ownership is evident in the manicured gardens and parks, community groups and prevailing overtone of family safety and security. You can tell people living here are proud to call Noosa Waters home.

“Those who know Sunshine Beach appreciate the superb location and amenable sub-tropical climate, also being able to enjoy everything about being near one of the world’s best beaches, as well as the vibrant Sunshine Beach village where the vibe of local cafe society preserves the ‘barefoot if you like’ attitude.”

HOME FOCUS

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN AND NATURAL LIGHT THIS modern contemporary Sunshine Beach residence is distinguished by clean lines, geometric shapes, open floor plans, and thoughtful, intentional design that says a lot with a little.

The residence designed by Tim Ditchfield incorporates extensive use of glass flooding the house with natural light, emphasizing views, and making it all that easier to enjoy the outdoors spaces.

The open plan design of this home maximizes the feeling of space and airiness, utilizing the use of natural light to illuminate the residence.

The ground level is all about lifestyle with alfresco living, dining and entertaining.

A generously sized galley kitchen complimented by high-end appliances, gas cooking and granite benchtops flows seamlessly onto outdoor dining and a sparkling, private pool overlooked by the central courtyard and poolside living or sunroom.

There are four generously sized bedrooms on the upper level. The

master, located in the south-east wing, accommodating a large en-suite and private deck with a tranquil leafy backdrop. In addition a large family or media room is situated on the lowest level with an extra bathroom.

The intelligent design of this home includes the many features you would expect to find in a high-end property, such as ducted air-conditioning, large double

garage with internal access, a private lift, double gated security access and modern louvre windows which draw the cooling summer breezes throughout.

A two-minute stroll down the hill will find you amongst the Sunshine village eateries, stylish new surf club and patrolled beach; or head north to enjoy the national park and Alexandria Bay with coastal walks to Hastings Street, Noosa. ●

HOME FOCUS

IMMACULATE HOME IN PARKSIDE SETTING THE seller is inviting offers. This lovingly cared for family home is located in a quiet street in a well established neighbourhood within close proximity to Tewantin Village, local shops, schools and the popular Noosa Golf Course.

Walk up the path with its showy splash of colourful low maintenance plants and shrubs to the front door set in a frame of attractive stained glass, opening to high 2.7m ceilings and two expansive, bright living areas. This warm welcome sets the tone for the remainder of this delightful home.

The master with walk-in robe and generous ensuite with bath offers privacy in the front section of the home, while 2 additional bedrooms, main bathroom and separate toilet are located at the rear of the home. The 4th bedroom is currently used as a study with built-in shelving and desk. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and have picture windows permitting natural light and a feeling of freshness.

The open plan kitchen space is the hub of the home where you can gather with friends and quaff a cool drink as you create your culinary delights: ample stone benchtops, induction stove, walk-in pantry and quality cupboards complete the picture here.

Two large living rooms adjacent to each side of the kitchen are wonderful areas catering for different family activities. These areas access a covered entertainment patio via sliding doors, showcasing views of the beautiful park that forms the backdrop to the home’s landscaped rear yard. No

neighbours here and a private retreat to enjoy your happy hours and alfresco meals.

Children can simply hop over the back fence and roam the parklands and Council facilities to their hearts’ content.

Positioned on a 600sqm level allotment, the home is low set, low maintenance and eco-friendly brick veneer construction. Cool easy-care tiles throughout, all rooms have ceiling fans and air-conditioning. Stylish white plantation blinds adorn windows while Crimsafe screens on all windows and sliding doors provide security and peace of mind. And there’s more - lots of cupboard and storage spaces, large separate

laundry plus the bonus of solar electricity to assist with power bills.

You’ll love the exquisite low maintenance colourful gardens nurtured by the current owner and there’s even room for a pool.

There’s a large double garage with internal entry plus access on both sides of the house with lockable gate. Termimesh protection gives peace of mind.

You will be just a few houses from the entrance to nature’s wonderland along the Noosa Bird Trail and you can also enjoy your choice of several bike and walkways through this quiet precinct.

Just walk in, kick off your shoes and you’re home!
