Noosa returns Llew By Margie Maccoll Wide Bay’s Llew O’Brien has been returned to his seat for a third term but his first one in Opposition, after LNP’s loss to Labor in the 2022 federal election and the appointment of new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Despite the national swing against LNP Mr O’Brien, with a 13.1 per cent margin in the 2019 election, won the seat of almost 86,000 voters comfortably, picking up 43.4 per cent of the primary vote and 61.4 per cent after preferences, but with an overall 1.7 per cent swing to Labor. Labor gained 21 per cent of the primary vote and 39 per cent after preferences. Following the major parties the field of candidates placed: One Nation (10 per cent), Greens (9 per cent), United Australia (4.7 per cent), Independents Kelli Jacobi (4.3 per cent) and Tim Jerome (2.9 per cent), Informed Medical Options (2.2 per cent), Values Party (1.4 per cent), Federation Party (0.4 per cent) and informal votes (5.8 per cent). Mr O’Brien began his election day joining a long queue of voters waiting in the rain at Sunshine Beach State School to cast their votes when the doors opened at 8am.

Budget feedback 12497020-DL22-21

Most Noosa residents will face a rate increase of 5.1 per cent or about $80 a year and some residents with land valuation increases of more than 60 per cent will face higher rate increases, according to the draft Noosa Council 2022-23 Budget that was released on Monday for a two-week public consultation period. The $159 million budget will go towards $42 million in capital works and $117 million in operational costs. Mayor Clare Stewart said Council had worked extremely hard to propose a rate increase at the national CPI rate for a majority of ratepayers. “We are proposing to peg the increase of the general rate at just below CPI and when all levies and waste charges are included, the total council rates bill sits at a 5.1 per cent increase.

This is in line with the current national CPI but is well below the Queensland CPI of 6 per cent,” Cr Stewart said. “Increased land valuations, the February floods and recovering from Covid-19 have created enormous challenges in drafting this budget,” she said. Cr Stewart said Council had deliberately adopted a measured approach to the way it deals with the significant jump in land valuations to ease the burden on a majority of ratepayers. “It’s been a triple whammy and the councillors have certainly scrutinised all areas while trying to meet community expectations.” At Friday’s Special Meeting, Councillors agreed to seek community input on which areas or projects could be prioritised over others

and what initiatives could be reduced, altered or deferred to achieve potential savings. Cr Stewart said much of the draft document had been shaped on last year’s detailed Liveability Survey. “We had a fantastic response to this extensive survey with over 1600 people sharing their views on what they care about in their neighbourhood. The feedback has been valuable and has guided many of our discussions,” Cr Stewart said. “Like many Councils, we have limited resources to deliver our priorities and meet community expectations, but we remain committed to working with our community to get the balance right,” the Mayor said. Councillors will hold two community Q & A sessions to gauge residents’ views.

They are at Cooroy Library on Wednesday 1 June between 11am and 1pm and at Noosaville Library Thursday 2 June between 10am and 2pm. “It’s important we continue to lay the foundations to see our shire revive, thrive and recover from the recent natural disasters through prudent financial management,” Cr Stewart said. “Community feedback is an extremely important part in finalising council’s budget, so I encourage every ratepayer to share ideas via the Your Say Noosa website.” Consultation started on Monday 23 May and closes midnight Sunday 5 June.

The big issues this election, at least in Noosa, were climate change, cost of living and housing and aged care. According to the polls, women cared more about climate change than men. Generally speaking, women do more of the shopping, earn less, have less superannuation and are in the majority when it comes to caring roles, including aged care. So this election you’d have to conclude it was women who should have been uppermost in the minds of candidates in the latest election. Were they? Women have made their presence felt this election and some have claimed seats in Parliament in established LNP seats. The next three years with a new government should be very interesting. Very interesting also that China should congratulate Anthony Albanese on his new appointment as Prime Minister after a couple years of chilly relations between our two countries. And speaking of China relations, there’s a great read this week by Phil Jarratt on former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his new book. Enough about politics, what about cats on holiday? A number of people, for whatever reason, have been taking cats on holiday with them to National Parks, particularly K’Gari (Fraser Island). I can understand the issues with cats being a danger to wildlife and an attraction for dingoes. But I wonder what has happened to the cat species that they enjoy leaving their home territory to holiday with humans.

The multimillion-dollar clean-up bill to combat the outbreak of unseasonal mould in many Queensland households, including those in the Sunshine Coast, is unlikely to be covered by normal residential insurance. That is the message from Australia’s leading peak organisation for the apartment and unit sector after hundreds of calls and emails about mould issues over the last week. Samantha Reece who heads Australian Apartment Advocacy said thousands of Queensland apartment owners now face clean-up costs to combat mould following unseasonal rain and humidity. “Queenslanders in the north are used to mould, but the reports we are getting is that the incidence of mould in southern Queensland is almost unheard of due to the current conditions of humidity and moisture. “The bad news is that mould itself is not covered by insurance generally unless it has been caused by an insurable event such as storm damage or flooding,” Ms Reece said. “We have had hundreds of apartment owners contact us and our message is the same;

check your insurance policy but it is highly unlikely you are covered for mould unless you have suffered or experienced an insurable event such as structural damage caused by flooding. “The matter has been exasperated with the fact that most apartments nowadays have been constructed to be airtight and hence air flow is essential to reducing the impact of mould.” Ms Reece urged apartment and unit owners in the Sunshine Coast to treat their mould problem and not hope that it would simply go away. “Mould, if untreated, can cause health problems such as allergic reactions and asthma difficulties and it can be treated in most instances with products such as dehumidifiers that are not toxic and that can be purchased from any hardware store.” It is also recommended that residents run their exhaust fans for longer than normal to extract the additional moisture during showering, cooking, and using their clothes dryers in apartments.

Sweet treats for Ukraine By Margie Maccoll On a cold and wet election day, the Anglican Church at Sunshine Beach counted on the voting crowds heading to the polling booths at the school across the road and staged a sausage sizzle and array of stalls to raise money for Ukrainians in a war zone.

Voters tucked into a sausage, picked up a few cakes and browsed the stalls selling goods including plants, crafts, books and jewellery. Reverend Lynda Johnson said it was a good opportunity to take advantage of their pole position to raise money to assist people facing a terrible situation in Ukraine. She said all money raised by the church

would be sent to Ukraine through the Anglican Relief and Development Fund Australia (ARDFA) which was working with European Christians Mission International (ECMI) and New Life Evangelical Free Church in Kyiv to provide immediate and longer term assistance. “We’ve already been able to provide two vans to transport supplies and hope to con-

tribute more,“ she said. Rev’d Johnson said the church partners were delivering food and medicine from a location near Ukraine’s western border to people cut off to resources and assisting refugees fleeing the country. For more information or to donate visit ardfa.org.au/ukrainecrisis

Noosa keeps Llew, goes against swing From page 1 He said his campaign had been unlike those in previous elections with almost double the number of candidates contesting the seat, the impact of Covid and people focused on the big issues. Political supporters handed out hand to vote cards amid a sea of umbrellas at polling booths across Noosa. At Tewantin State School, former Brisbane Lord Mayor Sallyanne Atkinson joined the

party faithful to hand out cards for LNP as she has done every election since 1972. Having travelled to Noosa for an 80th birthday party the night before, she stayed on to back the local candidate, but was surprised to find in Noosa, as she had in Brisbane, that people were unwilling to discuss politics, and few were accepting the offered how to vote information. “It’s interesting no one wants to engage in conversation. People usually want to have a

chat or an argument. No one wants to have an argument. It’s the first time I’ve found this,“ she said. “People know who they want to vote for. Once upon a time people, out of politeness, would take everything offered to them.“ Ms Atkinson was on the money when she tipped the Greens to win Griffith and possibly Ryan in Brisbane and was not confident Scott Morrison would retain the prime ministership.

Democracy snag thrives By Phil Jarratt

Vote then munch. Democracy in action. It made casting your vote a fun day out, but was the humble snag being politicised? Not yet. In 2012 some bright spark came up with the term democracy sausage to explain the connection between voting and munching on a snag sambo. It hit a nerve with political media wonks who are always looking for ways to humanise their masters, and was named Word of the Year by the Australian National Dictionary. By 2016, when Australia had to endure the longest official election campaign ever, it took off with the public. And from that day forward Australia’s political leaders have had to learn not only the art of truth minimisation but the skill of eating a sausage like you were born to do it. As Prime Minister in 2017, Malcolm Turnbull shocked the nation by rejecting the offer of a free sausage sandwich. What sort of a man turns his back on a free snag? But during the 2019 federal campaign, Labor leader Bill Shorten completely blew his cover as a man of the people when he tried, pathetically, to eat a sauso sanga from the middle out. As mustard exploded onto his cheeks, so too did his chance of winning the unloseable election. Which brings us back to Noosa’s soggy election day. I went straight to democracysausage.org (I’m not making this up) to check the sausage sizzle map which identifies polling booths around the country with sausage sizzles and cake stalls. I was appalled to discover that only Peregian Kindy guaranteed a sizzle, with Sunshine Beach State School a possibility.

Not funny. Election day defacement. Unfortunately this was in the domain of my colleagues, the Maccolls, so I set out to prove the website wrong about the northern end of the shire. Across Noosaville’s four polling booths I found wet corflutes and wet vollies handing out wet how to vote cards to wet voters. I even

found a cleverly defaced Labor poster, but nary a sausage. Has the democracy sausage lost its sizzle? Yeah, nah. I bought a packet of porkers and a loaf of white bread at Woolies on my way home and munched them while I watched the election coverage and sang It’s Time.

Election day dawned fairly miserably here in Noosa. Strictly speaking, there was no dawn at all, just a slow transition from black to dark grey. Wet, miserable and petrol back up to $2.15. Regardless of your politics, there was little to be cheerful about, unless you happened to be Llew O’Brien, sitting on a 13 per cent majority. But wait on, compulsory voting means schools and church halls are turned into minEccas for the big day, and it’s all the fun of the fair for the kids while you cast your vote. Meet the neighbours, have a chat, then front up at the sausage sizzle before repairing to the pub. The big question this election was, with almost half of us having already voted at the prepolls, with it raining cats and dogs, with everyone suffering from post-Covid and/or election fatigue, would the democracy sausage survive? With the major political parties changing leaders as often as underpants (often for more or less the same reasons) over the past decade or so, you’d think we’d be too busy trying to work out who to vote for to indulge in frivolity on election day, but oddly enough we’ve embraced the idea of making it fun, and the humble sausage has become not only a fundamental part of that fun but also a proud symbol of our egalitarian electoral system. But this is a history in three parts, so let’s go back to the very beginning of voting in Australia. The earliest elections in the colonies were apparently rowdier than the Villa on Cup Day. Candidates would ply voters with food and booze while rival gangs of supporters would sing songs and sporadically attack each other, at first verbally then physically. At the first election held in New South Wales in 1843, two men were killed during rioting and dozens of others injured. Later, when the colonies had self-government and the majority of men were free settlers with the right to vote, candidates were banned from bribing voters and alcohol was banished from the voting halls. The second part of this history begins at the end of World War II when, after years of being derided as mystery bags, sausages began to become popular again. In 1946 in Forbes, NSW, the Country Women’s Association called their fundraiser for food parcels to be sent to Britain, The Full Moon Sausage Sizzle. This is thought to be the first use of the term, but in a short time they became the fundraising staple of service clubs and charities throughout Australia. When the portable gas barbecue arrived on the scene in the 1980s, the service clubs were able to set up a sausage sizzle wherever there was certain to be a crowd, be it a shopping centre, sporting event or polling booth. Ever since, voters and their families have been able to buy a barbecued sausage on a slab of white bread, with a smear of mustard or a splash of train smash (tomato sauce), and sometimes even a tong full of fried onion.

The people have spoken By Margie Maccoll After Labor seized power in the Federal Government election on Saturday, Wide Bay incumbent and several candidates recapped on the campaign experience and wide-ranging views for the future. Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien returned to his seat on Monday, saying he was honoured to be chosen by the people of Wide Bay to represent them in Parliament and now, as a member of the Opposition, he aimed to keep a close eye on the government and ensure commitments made previously were upheld. “I’ve held my own side to account and I will do the same with this government,“ he said. “I’m excited for the challenges that lie ahead. I’m a member of a party and have been a member of government. It’s all about being a local member. “I wish this government all the best.“ Mr O’Brien said the people of Australia had spoken but the Labor government’s role was to serve all the people. “My focus is not getting in the way but keeping an eye on the projects committed to and budgeted for by the previous government,“ he said. “Locally, Wide Bay only took a 1.7 per cent swing away from LNP, a far less swing than other seats, so I think my style of advocacy and representation has been acknowledged in that sense. “Across the nation, many others wanted a change.“ Mr O’Brien said he was happy to remain a local member but would do whatever was asked of him if his party invited him to take on a more senior role. “It’s not my style to go climbing over other people to get a promotion. I’m a local member - that’s what I’m focused on. “The dust has to settle first. All these things have to be sorted out.“ Mr O’Brien said all National Party members had kept their seats. He praised their leader Barnaby Joyce for doing a good job and expected he would retain his leadership position. On a replacement for Scott Morrison, Mr O’Brien said there were a lot of good people in the Liberal Party and as a proud Queenslander, he would be pleased to see Peter Dutton lead the party. Mr O’Brien said his first task after the election was to thank the many supporters who had helped during the campaign. Then he planned to gain an update on committed projects including the Tiaro bypass, Katie Rose Cottage Hospice extension and Tewantin Noosa Golf Club work. Labor candidate Geoff Williams said his party had gained the result nationally that it was hoping for, and “that’s all that counts. It’s the whole that counts,“ he said. “Wide Bay is a hard one to turn to Labor. We managed to get a bit extra and that counts.“ Mr Williams believes the overall losses to United Australia Party and One Nation, despite them having candidates in all seats, was a sign that people were “starting to realise that the far right view isn’t what we’re about“.

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien chats with LNP supporter Diana McCready. “Overall they went backwards,“ he said. “We’re for looking after everyone. I think the next three years will be very good for Australia.“ Mr Williams hasn’t ruled out running again for Labor with his preference for federal government but representing the party at the next state government election in the seat of Gympie was a possibility. One Nation candidate Nathan Buckley who polled in third place with just over 10 per cent of the vote believes the next three years will be “disastrous“ with a Labor government delivering communism. “That’s how people vote, they get what they get,“ he said. Mr Buckley said the election campaign had been a learning experience but he was critical of his own party for its poor outcome, lack of support and for shutting his access to his One Nation Facebook site and restricting his ability to engage with the public. “On average, the local One Nation candidate did quite poorly. I was hoping to get double the result,“ he said. “I was confident there would be a lot of support from One Nation party but we had maybe a handful of volunteers.“ Mr Buckley said candidates had to fund their own corflutes and many had spent a lot of money, and while he would get most of it back, many would not.

He was incensed that party headquarters had blocked his access to his party Facebook site. “One Nation headquarters censored me. They blocked my access to Facebook before pre-polling. “I couldn’t get my message out to the electorate. They talk about freedom of speech and then go and censor their own candidates.“ Mr Buckley said he would not be standing for One Nation Party again. Independent Kelli Jacobi who gained 4.3 per cent of the Wide Bay vote was also concerned for the future of Australia but was not surprised one of the two major parties was returned to power. Ms Jacobi’s main concern is a corrupt system of government she believes stems from the federal level that without repair will continue to trickle down to lower levels. She hoped the independents and minor parties have helped get the message of government corruption out but despairs that the population largely don’t want to know about it. Greens candidate Craig Johnson said the election showed people wanted a change and he was very pleased with the outcome for the Greens, particularly in Brisbane where they look likely to take three seats, though less so in Wide Bay where votes of about 9 per cent were slightly less than in 2019. “The coalition weren’t focused on the

Many people knew who they were voting for before they arrived at polling booths. community,“ he said. “Never, at any stage, did they demonstrate improvements in public services. The outcome is a reflection of that and the country is relieved.“ Mr Johnson said his full time job restricted his ability to engage as much as he would have liked with the community during the campaign. He believes it was the face to face door knocking the Greens conducted in Brisbane that won them the seats in Griffith, Ryan and perhaps Brisbane, though still undecided. “It’s a template for future success. It’s been a spectacular result for Greens,“ he said.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Rudd offers take on China By Phil Jarratt The smiling, bespectacled man in the sharp black suit and open collar white business shirt, a trimmed white beard disguising slightly chubby cheeks, bears little resemblance to the frowning, faction-fighting politician of yesteryear as he hurries into the large room swelling with people who are fascinated, if not yet fans, this being conservative Noosa. But they may well walk out as fans, because Kevin Rudd, the once-polarising 26th Prime Minister of Australia, now a cross between a revered professor and a favourite uncle, seems to have been on a charm offensive in recent years. Or perhaps the ready smile, the effusive greetings and warm handshakes are just the signs of a man, about to turn 65 and become officially old, who is at last comfortable in his skin. The occasion is the local launch of Rudd’s latest book, The Avoidable War – The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict between the US and Xi Jinping’s China, a scholarly tome not necessarily in keeping with the mood of a rare sunny afternoon in May, as we take our seats at tables looking out at a sparkling Coral Sea from the function room of the Sunshine Beach Surf Club. Rudd has arrived a little late and has to leave a little early, but he seems relaxed as he works the room en route to his seat at the head table, next to playwright David Williamson, a Noosa neighbour who shares Rudd’s politics and loathing of the Murdoch media. No doubt they have a lot to talk about, but they don’t get the chance as David has to jump up and introduce the guest speaker. Williamson tells an amusing story about being invited to a Kevin ‘07 election night party in Noosa where, it being Noosa, only half a dozen lefties turned up. But he and Kristin kept the faith, dancing around the television in their ‘07 tee shirts as

the Rudd-slide gathered force. A couple of days before the election, this held particular interest for those fearing an Albo-slide. He finished his introduction, however, on a more serious note. “Kevin was one of those rare political leaders who wasn’t in the game for power’s sake. He wanted to make a difference, to rule for the many, not for the few.” Some would debate that, but despite his sometimes-chaotic management style and his unbounded ego, Kevin Rudd as our leader was big picture Labor, a visionary who ignited our climate change response by signing the Kyoto Protocol days after taking office in 2007, said sorry to the Stolen Generations, took on China over human rights abuses and arguably saved Australia from recession during the Global Financial Crisis. And while he may never have picked up the hose, he certainly donned the gum boots during Brisbane’s disastrous 2011 flood. A rusted-on Labor supporter since Whitlam saved me from going to Vietnam in 1972, I initially saw Rudd as the latest in the pantheon of Labor heroes like Whitlam, Hawke and Keating. But within the party and without, his star seemed to fade fast, and when his short second stay in the Lodge finished in 2013 I wasn’t surprised to see him leave politics. Nevertheless, if every Prime Minister left a similar legacy, we’d be a better country for it. Although somewhat removed from the public gaze, Rudd’s second stanza has been as remarkable as the first. Almost immediately, Kevin Rudd reinvented himself as one of the world’s leading China experts, and accepted an offer from Harvard University to study US-China relations. His credibility and credentials in this field are impeccable, and at Harvard and many of

the great political think tanks of the world, he has advanced his reputation in a field that has been a passion for the fluent Mandarin speaker since university days. Not bad for a lad from Nambour High, and this is what brings us together in the sunspeckled surf club. When Rudd steps up to the lectern, as a sometime book spruiker myself I can’t help but think he’s got the job ahead of him. Having read only reviews and the publisher precis of The Avoidable War, I already know that it’s a big, dense read on a subject that a lot of people would rather not think about. But in addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of China specifically and geopolitics generally, Kevin Rudd knows how to turn people. So he gets up and talks about being a young boy in Eumundi. Brilliant. “My book begins with a reference to my childhood memories from Eumundi, in those days population about 200, pre-markets. Our Uncle Eric always said when the markets were starting, ‘It’ll be the ruination of the town’. “One of the earliest of those memories is from an Anzac Day in the early ‘60s when I’m marching up the main street, a tiny tot holding my father’s hand, Dad going ‘left, left, left right left’, and me buggering it up. Past the Imperial Hotel, which my father used to subsidise, to the memorial at the bottom of Memorial Park. “If you look at those splendid Moreton Bay figs there, they were each planted in memory of the local men who died in the Great War. In a community of 200, 20 local boys died. There would not have been a family that wasn’t affected. “And I remember these old guys marching with us who were World War I veterans, in their 70s by now, one of them a bit staggery, and I remember Dad saying, ‘That’s Ted, he’s still suffering from shell shock. He was a survivor

of the Western Front.’ “For a kid, that leaves a memory in your head that never leaves. You think, how the hell did that happen?” Everyone in the room is totally engaged, and the trick, if you will, is that the Great War story, writ small in his Eumundi memory, is actually the start of his book and the key to understanding the case it makes. Having taken us back to the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand, and the escalation from crisis to conflict to war that followed, Rudd says: “Part of the origin and the thesis of this book is that when I hear that crisis, conflict and war is now inevitable between China and the US, there’s something of the Eumundi boy in me that says, I don’t like that, what can we do to prevent that from happening?” If the segue from Eumundi to the AustroHungarian Empire and back again was something of a tightrope walk, our next sidebar journey to Ancient Greece is nothing short of miraculous, not to mention seamless. “After the 2013 Federal election, in which some of you may remember, I came second, I went to Harvard where a colleague and friend of mine had just published a brilliant book which explained Thucydide’s Trap, in which the ancient historian concluded that ‘the rise of Athens and the fear this instilled in Sparta made war inevitable’. “This translates to the structure we have now of an established power, the US, and a rising power, China. The trap being is it now destiny that they must go to war? “Graham Allison’s book, Destined For War, based on 16 case studies of similar situations, concludes that war is more likely than not. That book has had enormous influence in both the US and China, but in the great tradition of Queensland frankness, I said to my colleague, ‘I don’t agree with that, mate.’ “And off I went to write my response, The Avoidable War.”

Rudd with Xi Jinping in Canberra in 2010. Rudd goes on to give us intimate glimpses inside the mindset of Xi Jinping, based on his numerous conversations in Mandarin with the Chinese leader over the past decade or so, but he offers no flip fireside chat solutions to the growing problem. He says: “If you were to sum up what the US-China relationship is right now, it’s one of intense, unmanaged, strategic competition across all domains, with very little space for these two countries to collaborate on anything. The ‘Eumundi School of International Relations’ offers the following alternative: rather than unmanaged, strategic competition, what about managed strategic competition? “What I mean by that is that you can have basic rules of the road, you can have guard rails, and you can jointly choose to operate within them. “Is it naïve to think that this could happen?

I go back to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.” While my childhood memory of that week of brinkmanship between Kennedy and Khrushchev still makes me shiver, I think Rudd makes a good point. As a result, the two superpowers did establish ground rules, and the Cold War never got so heated again. Until now, perhaps, as we enter what Rudd calls “the dangerous decade”. I’m halfway through The Avoidable War and, although there’s an intellectual challenge on every page and a philosophical one every second page, I’m enjoying it immensely. But not quite as much as I enjoyed the lessons and laughs from K. Rudd at the surf club. In his shout line on the book’s cover, the esteemed Henry Kissinger describes Rudd as “one of today’s most thoughtful analysts of China’s development”. To this I would add, and easily the most entertaining.

With Cr Frank Wilkie.

Oysters get the nod By Margie Maccoll After much debate, Noosa Council has given the green light for the Noosa Oyster Ecosystem Restoration Project to construct four oyster bed restoration structures across almost 5870sqm of the Noosa River bed after it engaged Marine Approval Specialists to assess an application for the works. The project is being conducted in a partnership between The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Noosa Shire Council (NSC) formed to deliver oyster ecosystem restoration in the Noosa River at four sites, being Tewantin, Goat Island and Noosa Sound East and West. Council heard the restoration sites had been subject to a number of assessments and studies including Bathymetric mapping, marine and intertidal habitat mapping, river user analysis, habitat suitability modelling, restoration suitability modelling, community consultation and detailed site engineering. Marine Approval Specialists assessed the project against the Noosa Plan 2020 and the Coastal Protection & Management Regulation 2017 and determined it was compliant subject to a raft of conditions including the implementation of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) to govern site environmental management practices. The State Referral and Assessment Agency (SARA) also recommended approval of the project subject to referral agency conditions. Further conditions included the need for the structures to meet Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) and Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) requirements relating to signage and aids to navigation and the use of clean materials without contaminants. It must have no detrimental effects and no visual impacts and it must be monitored for any future impacts and seabed disturbance. A range of environmental management and monitoring commitments contained in the

It is a State Government requirement that all dogs over the age of three months must be registered with their local council. The registration is renewed annually. There are 10,522 dogs registered in Noosa. Registering your pet helps Council identify lost dogs and reunite them quickly with their owners. It also gives Council important information to ensure services such as waste bags, litter bins and off-leash areas are provided where they are needed.

At Council’s general meeting, Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said the project promised to return oyster ecosystems to Noosa River and in so doing would achieve benefits, including the provision of complex habitat types for marine species, filtering of the water and removal of sediment and pollution. It would process nutrients, stabilise and protect river banks, pro-

Cr Wilkie said he applauded The Nature Conservancy on the plan. Cr Brian Stockwell said the role of council was not to debate or question the application but simply to assess it against the required codes and the chief executive officer confirmed the operational works application had to be looked at in its compliance with the codes. Councillors voted four to three in favour of the work proceeding.

Mr Waters said the new lease was good news for ratepayers as it meant a guaranteed income from the Council-owned commercial asset for at least the next decade. “Attracting a quality, long-term tenant is the best outcome we can hope for with a commercial property such as this, to help support Council’s strong financial position, which ultimately benefits all of our ratepayers,” he said. “We look forward to working with the new IGA.”

Noosa property owners have until June 30 to apply for short-stay letting and homehosted accommodation approval without incurring application fees. With fees being set as part of Council’s budget deliberations, acting environment and sustainable development director Leo Jensen said the current fee waiver will end on June 30. Fees will apply to all applications lodged after June 30. “The fee waiver has been in place since the new local law for short-stay accommodation took effect on February 1, and so far we’ve received more than 650 applications,” Mr Jensen said. “We’re reminding those owners using properties for short-stay or home-hosted accommodation to apply now if they’d like to save on the cost of the application fee.” Applications can be made online at noosa.qld.gov.au under Planning and Development. Under Noosa’s new Short-Stay Local Law, all Noosa Shire properties used for short-stay and home-hosted accommodation must be approved, and be renewed annually. Mr Jensen said property owners should check Council’s website for detailed information about what to provide with their applications. “Generally they’ll need to provide a site plan showing the location of buildings and outdoor areas, plus a floorplan showing the number of people accommodated in each bedroom. The website provides examples of the sorts of simple plans required,” he said. Applications will need to include confirmation the property is lawful for short-stay

An IGA supermarket is set to open at Noosa Council’s Sunrise Beach shopping complex within a year following the signing of a 10-year lease for the anchor tenancy. In welcoming the IGA’s signing of the lease, Mayor Clare Stewart said having an IGA in the Council-owned complex would be a great win for the local community and neighbouring businesses. “We’re thrilled the IGA has decided sign a lease for the site,” the Mayor said. “Having an IGA at the Sunrise Beach Shops will provide local residents with another convenient grocery shopping option close to home,” she said. “Having such a strong anchor tenant will also boost foot traffic to the complex to help drive extra trade for the other quality local businesses also based at the complex.” The 10-year lease includes options to extend for further periods. Last September, Council officers reported the shopping centre had lost up to $500,000 in rent over the past three years while it was without a major tenant. In January this year, Council revised a proposed plan for a $700,000 expansion of the site to 500m2 at the request of the prospective new tenant with the current 305m2 space deemed adequate. Chief executive officer Scott Waters said Council would carry out some work to the property to enable it to accommodate a supermarket ahead of the IGA’s interior fit-out of the space. “Council and the IGA will be working as quickly as possible to complete the work in the

In addition to the application process, Noosa’s new Local Law requires short-stay property owners to nominate a contact person to swiftly deal with problems, which can now be reported via the new 24-hour hotline 5329 6466. The new local law introduces a code of conduct for guest behaviour and minimum safety standards for short-term-let properties to help protect guests in the absence of state government regulation. “All of these measures are a response to calls from the local community to ensure Noosa’s short-stay properties are being good neighbours and that the property owners – the majority of which live outside of the shire – are taking responsibility for dealing with problem guests.” For more information, visit noosa.qld. gov.au

Dr Ian calls time on career By Margie Maccoll “If I could do it again I wouldn’t change much,“ was how general surgeon Dr Ian Curley summed up his medical career that began at Sydney University in 1961 and ended with his retirement last month from Noosa Hospital - but it almost didn’t happen. It was a relaxed Ian Curley who, with his wife Emma, spoke to Noosa Today over a coffee on Gympie Terrace about his six decade career in medicine. “My father was against it. He tried to talk me out of it. He wanted me to have a sensible job in the railways,“ he said. After finishing high school, a young Ian even made it to the railways building for an interview, but didn’t front up. “This wasn’t me. I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. I got excited about physiology,“ he said. University was expensive and his family was not wealthy so Ian borrowed 2500 pounds from his brother-in-law to pay for his first year of medical school, paying him back when he graduated. “My father died in second year. He worked for an insurance company. There was no superannuation. When he died we were going to be destitute,“ he said. Then something extraordinary happened. “My father was so proud I was in medical school, the MD of his company and the board agreed to contribute all expenses for six years of study. And more surprisingly, we had a mortgage and they wiped that mortgage.“ After graduating from the University of Sydney in 1967 with an MB BS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) Dr Curley began the long process of training to be a surgeon, based at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital. After three to four years, and having completed colorectal surgery training, he moved to the UK to undertake specialist training in breast and endocrine surgery in England and Wales.

He finished in 1973 and was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons England (FRCS). Dr Curley turned down an offer from a prominent surgeon to work in a New York clinic and returned to Australia, becoming a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 1975. In Brisbane for a job that didn’t eventuate, he moved to the Gympie-Sunshine Coast region. “I had children that wanted to be fed and schooled. It was the ‘80s, the region desperately needed doctors,“ he said. Dr Curley enjoyed the challenges of surgery, the continual learning required of the profession and he loved getting to know his patients. His wife Emma said he dedicated himself to his patients, often charging below the normal rate, or not at all, and taking on a heavy burden of responsibility. “If I saw him home at 9pm that would be early,“ she said. “On Sunday, his day off, he’d say, I’ll just do a quick round - I wouldn’t see him for hours.“ Dr Curley said in his time the most important thing was the care of patients and the care of staff, now often the bottom line comes first, patients come second. In more than 30 years in the area, much has changed in the medical field. When he arrived in Gympie there were no mediflights, serious patients could be sent by ambulance to Nambour or Brisbane hospitals and most GPs did their own surgery. It meant GPs didn’t initially refer their patients to him for surgery and he survived doing public work in Gympie and each Friday in Kingaroy. “Initially people stood back. They’d make an assessment based on experience but once on board they were very loyal,“ he said. “There was a lot of trauma in those days major road accidents. Gympie had their own blood bank. they would call in donors if there was a major need. That’s all changed, it’s now centralised.“

Now, in general people are more conscious of their health. Wearing of seat belts and the reduction in smoking had made a difference, but obesity was a major problem, he said. Over the years, with population expansion, the demand for services in the region has grown and grown along with staff numbers and specialists. In the late 1990s Mr Curley travelled to Holland to learn a new procedure, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy - the removal of the gallbladder through keyhole surgery. The first laparoscopic surgery had been conducted by gynaecologists in France and was then being expanded to general surgery, he said. He came back and tried to introduce it but it took a year or two before he could persuade the hospital to buy the equipment. New procedures kept Noosa at a gold standard around the world, he said. Dr Curley found himself at the forefront of surgical procedures. He was fortunate to work with a surgeon while in the UK who began performing the first colonoscopies in 1973, a procedure that didn’t become mainstream here until the the 1990s. He’s now performed the procedure more than 50,000 times. “I was right in the early stages of that,“ he said. Noosa Hospital opened in 1999 with Dr Curley performing its first operation, a major event covered by TV crews in the operating theatre. “The hospital has expanded and expanded and increased specialties,“ he said. “Noosa Hospital has always punched above its weight. It’s offered exceptional service.“ The investment in infrastructure including a five-bed ICU and intensivist staff enabled surgeons to expand their services. Dr Curley has treated many thousands of people in his career but among the cases that stand out are a woman and young boy. The women was stabbed and had a cardiac

arrest in Cardiff in England. He operated immediately, opened her chest, repaired the defect and “gave her the bolt“, shocking her heart back to rhythm. She was discharged from hospital four days later. A 12-year-old boy in Gympie presented to the hospital with a sudden hydrocephalus, an accumulation of fluid in the brain, that wouldn’t drain. The pressure was about to cause his brain to push through the base of the skull, causing brain damage or death. The boy was in ICU. They had helicopter access to transport him to a major hospital but he couldn’t fly in that condition. Dr Curley knew he had to relieve the pressure. He’d spent four months doing neurosurgery in Sydney and performed burr holes, small holes drilled into the brain, in Gympie. He had a CT scan and as he was about to go into surgery he got a phone call from a radiologist to discuss it, confirming his intention to go into the right ventricle of the brain, 3.5cm from the dura, the outside covering of the brain. The call, he discovered, was from a UK specialist. “I had that information before I went in. I thought it was straightforward,“ he said. “He survived. He came back to see me a couple of years ago, to thank me.“ Dr Curley said he wouldn’t miss the long hours of work - some surgery sessions beginning at 8am and ending at midnight - but he would miss the patients. “His work has been his life,“ Emma said. “He loved the technical side, the intellectual side and most of all the interaction with colleagues and patients. It’s all combined to be the perfect job for him. He will miss it.“ The couple have downsized their house, moved closer to the beach and aim to fulfil long held plans to sail a 50ft yacht they’ve been building. “I told him, do it now - you can’t put it off,“ Emma said.

Leigh’s joy at win Leigh McCready of Peregian was named 2022 Volunteer of the Year during the Sunshine Coast’s Volunteer of the Year Awards dinner held last Wednesday in Buderim during which 10 category recipients, each with incredible and inspiring nomination stories, were announced. Volunteering Sunshine Coast executive director and MC Chris Scott presented Mrs McCready’s nomination, speaking highly of Leigh’s abilities to harness community support and drive a coordinated outcome to reestablish the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club after its demise in 2014. As a consequence of Leigh’s efforts the Peregian Surf Lifesaving Club has now been reconstituted, held its first annual general meeting in April of this year, and has since obtained a renewed lease from Noosa Council for the surf club building. In its nomination of Leigh, Peregian Family & Friends Inc spoke of the intense chal-

lenges she faced in re-starting the surf club, the significant commitment she made as a busy mother and business women, and the intense voluntary workload she dealt with over the three and half years that she drove the outcomes achieved. She has also led the Peregian Nipper’s Program from 2018 to 2020 and served as a director of the Noosa Heads SLSC in 2020/2021, and is current president of the Peregian Family & Friends Inc, the organisation she founded in 2017. In presenting the award, Bloomhill Cancer Care chief executive officer Christopher John said Leigh epitomised the Volunteer of the Year Award as a person recognised for their exemplary voluntary contribution that made a significant impact on the Sunshine Coast’s wellbeing and liveability. In accepting the award Leigh spoke of her journey and the joy she got from the support

of the community and friends in re-building such an icon of the Peregian and Sunshine Coast communities. She also thanked all volunteers for their ongoing commitment to their respective organisations and communities for the differences they make every day. The 100 plus audience had an emotional response to the unwavering commitment that recipients have to their cause and volunteerism. Volunteering Sunshine Coast received a huge range of nominations which demonstrated the breath, depth, and diversity of volunteers across the Sunshine Coast. With the support of Steps Group Australia the 10 Category Recipients spoke highly of the value of volunteering and the countless hours they contribute – often blending into the very nature of what they do.

Free flu jab is now available for every Queenslander All Queenslanders will be offered a free flu vaccination as the State faces a severe outbreak of Influenza A. Covid-19 measures had reduced flu cases to almost nil since 2020 but more than 4000 cases have already been reported in 2022. Cases in Queensland are doubling every week increasing from 1848 to 4282 in the past week. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she had taken the unprecedented decision to protect Queenslanders because: Influenza A was predominantly a virus impacting young and old age groups more than others.

· Vaccine rates and immunity levels were low. · Case numbers were climbing faster and

earlier than expected. Most importantly, all of the impacts of Covid-19, including absenteeism, interruptions to supply chains and health services would be duplicated and exacerbated by a simultaneous outbreak of Influenza A. “We have seen how difficult it has been to fight Covid-19,” the Premier said. “To fight Covid-19 and the flu is doubly hard. “That’s why we are making these flu shots free for everyone.”

Acting Chief Health Officer Dr Peter Aitken said time was of the essence. “Influenza A is more severe than Influenza B,” Dr Aitken said. “It leads to greater numbers needing to go to hospital. “Vaccination rates for children six months to less than five years of age is just six per cent. “I urge parents of all age groups to please take up this offer of a free vaccine.” Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the free vaccines will be available for all Queenslanders aged six months and older. “Our 2017 season saw more than 750 peo-

ple in intensive care and our 2019 season saw about 300 people “The fact that more than 4000 cases have already been detected when flu seasons don’t usually begin until late July is very concerning.” The vaccines will be available free from GPs and pharmacies from now until the end of June. There are no changes for people already eligible under the National Immunisation program who should continue to access influenza vaccine from their usual vaccination providers. For more information go to the Queensland Health website.

Your Voice! Your Budget!

The proposed 2022-23 Council Budget is now out for community feedback. The recent Liveability Survey, completed by over 1600 people, has helped shape the draft 2022-23 budget. We have also endeavoured to meet community expectations, deliver a significant capital works program and fund over 100 different services to the community. The ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the 2022 February floods have placed added pressure on shaping this draft budget. Like you, increases in fuel, insurance and goods and services have also added pressure on Council’s costs. Council is asking for your views on a range of budget initiatives and projects.

Sleeping out for a cause Vinnies Queensland is calling on Sunshine Coast business and community leaders to take on the CEO Sleepout challenge, as the event makes its official debut in the region for the first time in its 13-year history. Each year, the Vinnies CEO Sleepout calls on participants to spend the night sleeping rough on one of the coldest nights of the year to raise vital funds and awareness for homelessness support. Rain, hail or shine, local leaders this year will be swapping their warm bed for a piece of cardboard as they brave the elements to sleep rough for the night. In addition to events at Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the Sleepout will be held at the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club on Thursday 23 June, with participants set to spend the night sleeping on the sand. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart is one of many local leaders who have already signed up for the challenge. Vinnies’ Diocesan president Beryl Rowan said funds raised from the event would go directly towards building and providing homes for local families in need. “There’s no secret that the Sunshine Coast has been significantly impacted by the state-wide housing crisis, with rental vacancy rates of less than half a per cent across the region,” Beryl said. “We invite all our local leaders to step up

and sleep out for the night and help us support those struggling to find a home – or the many Coast residents who are already homeless. “Across the region, we are working hard to help those facing or experiencing homelessness but with such a shortage of social and affordable housing, it has been a significant challenge. “The funds raised from this event will also help us to secure our own accommodation options to provide to local families struggling to find a place to live.” Beryl said the Sleepout wasn’t just about raising important funds, but also about raising awareness of homelessness and what people could do to help in their communities. In 2021, Vinnies supported Queenslanders by providing housing and crisis accommodation for more than 101,000 nights and supplying $258 million in services and support to people in need. The Sunshine Coast Sleepout aims to raise $200,000 in support of locals experiencing homelessness.

Detectives target drug trafficking

Visiting cat eco threat By Arthur Gorrie A cat has been photographed on World Heritage listed K’Gari (Fraser Island), despite potential wildlife impacts and tough penalties for taking domestic pets into protected areas. A Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service spokesperson said the service had been alerted to the cat’s unlawful presence by “social media users who follow various pages dedicated to K’gari (Fraser Island)“. The incriminating posts posts feature “an orange and white domestic cat with a fluffy tail“ and included the cat pictured on Bribie Island. QPWS compliance manager Mike Devery said the cat appeared to belong to a family on a four-wheel-drive holiday. “This is a major breach of quarantine, as domestic animals including cats, birds and dogs are not permitted in Queensland’s national parks,“ he said.

“Domesticated dogs and cats are incompatible with the natural values of National Parks and they can carry diseases and viruses that could impact wongari (dingo) populations.“ As well as the potential for “negative interactions“ involving the cat and its owners with the island’s apex predator, cats and dogs could easily be lost while exploring the National Park and could impact native animals. Mr Devery said the compliance team would attempt to track down the family who are believed to be travelling around the state, before considering further compliance action. Five $137 infringement notices had been issued since November last year to people breaking the no-pets’ law. Anyone caught breaching the rules would be immediately expelled from the island, regardless of any previously acquired camping or vehicle permits they may hold.

“With Gold and Sunshine Coast beaches open again, beach goers are reminded to be SharkSmart every time they are on or in the water. “Anyone who sees any unsecured shark control equipment including ropes, netting or buoys, should call the Shark Control Program Hotline on 1800 806 891.”

Detectives from the Sunshine Coast’s Drug and Serious Crime Taskforce have closed phase two of Operation Tango Birch, targeting the trafficking of dangerous drugs by organised crime groups within the Sunshine Coast, resulting in the further arrest of 15 people on 93 offences. The operation has incorporated the expertise of detectives from the Sunshine Coast as well as specialists from Crime and Intelligence Command, targeting a crime syndicate operating from the Sunshine Coast which then expanded into other areas of Queensland. Operation Tango Birch started in December 2020 targeting the distribution of commercial quantities of drugs including cocaine, MDMA, cannabis, and methylamphetamine in an area spanning from Logan in the south and Bundaberg in the north. Phase one of the operation resulted in 16 people arrested on 45 offences and included the seizure of over $110,000. On May 19 and 20, 2022, officers closed phase two of the operation, executing 13 search warrants, culminating in the arrest of 15 people on 93 charges. During this phase, police seized $70,000 cash, a Harley Davidson valued $30,000, an arrested the primary target – a Rebels OMCG member charged with trafficking cocaine, steroids, cannabis and MDMA. A 25-year-old Little Mountain man has been charged with four counts of trafficking dangerous drugs, three counts of possessing anything in the use of crime and possessing dangerous drugs and one count of possessing property obtained from trafficking or supplying. He was due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Friday 20 May.

Support group’s milestone This week, local Sunshine Coast program StandBy Support After Suicide, marks 20 years of service in supporting those bereaved or impacted by suicide loss. StandBy hosted its annual forum StandBy Connect 2022 at the Novotel Twin Waters Resort with its national workforce, partners and guest speakers from Australia’s suicide prevention sector in attendance to connect and reflect on the 20-year journey in suicide postvention. StandBy was established in 2002 to meet the need for a coordinated response to suicide. The very beginnings of the program were born before then however, from a need to support a local Sunshine Coast family, after a double suicide on the anniversary of another suicide in the same family. Youturn, being one of very few community agencies at that time, was invited to develop and lead a community-based program dedicated to supporting people and communities following suicides (Noosa Suicide Bereavement Project). Former chief executive officer of Noosa Youth Service and United Synergies (now Youturn) Sue Scheinpflug said the story of how StandBy came to be, and then replicated into other communities, is truly unique. In 2006 the project was renamed to StandBy Response Service and received evaluation funding to ascertain whether it could be replicated across different communities (Canberra, Brisbane, and Cairns). In 2017, StandBy Response Service was renamed to StandBy Support After Suicide, which included a new logo and rebranding and a pathway toward national coverage. This last year, 2021, has seen StandBy expand from servicing 11 Primary Health Networks (PHN) to all 31 PHN regions across Australia, a huge achievement, enabling StandBy to work towards providing all Australians with

universal and equitable access to postvention support. An organisation rich in its history, achievements and people, StandBy is a program of Youturn Limited, Youturn chief executive officer Dr Tanya Bell said 20 years is an exceptional milestone. “I feel privileged to share in this 20-year celebration and recognise that I do so, standing on the shoulders of others that have come before me, with all the staff that have shared in this incredible journey over the past two decades,” Dr Bell said. “As a community organisation we are focussed on providing local solutions to local problems. “Our StandBy program is a perfect example of how a local crisis was a catalyst for a national transformation in how we support those bereaved or impacted by suicide.

ment, which we’re extremely appreciative of, there has been moments we have sailed close to the wind in terms of receiving funding certainty,” Ms Phillips said. “When I first came on board, we used to say StandBy covered 30 per cent Australia’s population, and 70 per cent of the Australian land mass, now we can say we cover 100 per cent of the population and 100 per cent of the Australian land mass.” StandBy operates nationally by engaging with expertise within local communities to deliver the most effective and culturally suitable support for each individual circumstance. Locally tailored community workshops and education programs are provided to increase awareness of suicide and suicide bereavement to help enable communities to support one another alongside the free Australia-wide 24/7 support line 1300 727 247.

“Our program has continued to evolve, and I am excited to be leading this organisation when we start to create the next chapter in StandBy’s history.” From limited funding opportunities and resources in the early years, to becoming Australia’s leading provider in suicide postvention today, there has been an unwavering commitment to collaboration, continuous improvement and evaluation. StandBy national general manager Karen Phillips has been at the helm for 10 of StandBy’s 20-year journey and is proud that the organisation has reached such an important milestone. “StandBy’s story is a great story, a locally grown product that is now a national program, it has been an interesting journey.

Fish is also a source of fish oil.

Behind the fish oil story By Professor Christian Hamilton-Craig Fish oils are Omega-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids. The Heart Foundation recommends all Australians should aim to include two to three serves of fish (including oily fish) per week as part of a heart-healthy diet. Fish oils are a source of Omega-3 fatty acids. It is the Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic (DHA) which are the main omega 3 fatty acids that have been studied and shown to be of benefit for heart health. Omega-3 supplementation reduces cardiovascular mortality and improved cardiovascular outcomes. Confusion exists about the benefits, or lack of benefits, from Omega 3 fish oils. This is partly due to clinical trials having different doses of EPA and/or DHA, and the variation in the amount of EPA/DHA found in various fish oil supplements. In general, a single capsule of 1000mg fish oil (such as you might buy in bulk from a chemist) contains only about 30 per cent of the active ingredient EPA/DHA. This means that to get 1000mg of EPA/DHA, you need to consume three to four tablets a day! It doesn’t matter where you get the Omega-3 oils from, either from dietary fish intake or supplements, as long as you have >1000mg

Fish oil and your heart health. of EPA/DHA intake to be effective. Double or triple-strength fish oils contain a higher dose of the EPA/DHA which is the ef-

fective ingredient. Krill Oil is a more expensive way of increasing omega-3 intake and has fallen from popularity in recent times.

It is useful to note that not all fish oil is derived from fish. Much of the EPA/DHA in fish oil comes from the algae eaten by the fish. Vegan omega-3 supplements derived from algae are available. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) derived from plants also benefits cardiovascular health and reduces rhythm disturbances (eg atrial fibrillation AF). What about bleeding? Some surgeons, and even some guidelines, recommend stopping fish oil before elective surgery. However, recent data suggest that increased fish oils were actually associated with reduced bleeding (Journal of the American Heart Association, June 2021). Importantly, Omega-3 fish oil supplementation has the greatest benefit in people who have low levels of Omega-3 in their system. Most doctors don’t know it, but you can measure the Omega-3 Index which is a simple blood test that measures the amount of Omega 3 in your red bloods cells. People whose Omega-3 Index is low (eight per cent) are at a 90 per cent lower risk. In summary: Omega 3 fish oil supplementation is safe, but requires a decent dose of EPA/DHA to be effective. Double and triplestrength supplements may be more convenient to take, and are most effective if your Omega-3 Index is low.

Growing inspiration The 2022 Noosa Queensland Day Awards are all about honouring inspirational locals. As we move towards the big day, it’s time to get a sneak peek into some of the deserving nominees who will be honoured on Thursday 6 June, Queensland Day. Two nominees from Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens have devoted hours of their time and expertise over many years to improving the fantastic gardens at Lake Macdonald. The first nomination from this organisation is Willy Ostwald who has been the secretary and the propagation team manager for the last three years. Willy has also put her impressive business skills to good use applying for grant applications and developing operational systems for the organisation. “There are a variety of plants grown in the propagation facility, including rare and collectables, sourced from the Noosa Botanic Gardens, as well as from collectors and members’ personal gardens,” Willy said. “Many of the plants go back into the Gardens with the rest offered for sale to the general public at our three Saturday morning plant sales during the year. Funds raised from these sales go back into improving the gardens. “For example, we have just been successful with a grant that will partially fund a shade sail over the dinosaur dig at the Gardens. “Funds we’ve raised through plant sales will supplement the grant to enable the project to happen.” Also nominated is president Jill Brownlee who joined the Friends in 2014 as she saw the potential to hold events to attract more people to the Gardens. She was the driving force and founder of the annual Father’s Day Plant Fair which grew to be a much loved and well attended event put on hold during Covid. Instead, with the support of Noosa Coun-

Jill Brownlee and Willy Ostwald at Noosa Botanic Gardens. cil, the Friends encourage people to enjoy art and music in the Gardens on the first Sunday of each month. Jill also volunteers in most aspects of the organisation and is a family-friendly face at the gardens. “It is such a lovely surprise to be nominated, particularly for volunteering for a cause that you enjoy so much,” Jill said.

“We have a great team at the Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens and we are always looking for new active members. “We have such a variety of roles from gardening to propagation and helping with events like guided walks and plant sales. “If you have any interest in hands on garden maintenance, or learning more about plants, please think about volunteering as it is very rewarding.”

It wasn’t just the wine. It wasn’t just the food. It was all that and more at the 10th annual Travis Schultz Winemakers Master Class for SunnyKids at Maroochydore. With informative and entertaining discussion about wine, it was a record-breaking afternoon in which an astonishing $245,000 was raised in support of the Sunshine Coast charity for children at risk. This year’s total will enable the not-forprofit organisation to expand its crucial social programs such as SunnyKids in School and Mentoring Through Sports. Event founder Travis Schultz said he could not be prouder of the generosity and community spirit demonstrated at Friday’s event. “If you’d told me 10 years ago my humble idea of a winemakers’ fundraiser would reach such heights and result in nearly $1m in fundraising over that time, I would have been more than a little sceptical,” Mr Schultz said. “The generosity and community spirit I witnessed last night was truly humbling and I sincerely thank every one of our valued patrons who came with a mission to make our 10th lunch one for the record books,” he said. SunnyKids chief executive officer Kathleen Hope said the generosity of the Sunshine Coast community knew no bounds. “To say my SunnyKids colleagues and I are grateful for the amazing fundraising efforts last night and over the course of the past decade, is the understatement of the year,” Ms Hope said. “As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely heavily on the support from our local community, and thanks to the long-lasting partnership we have had with this event, SunnyKids has been able to reach hundreds of children at risk of disengaging at school, expanding our programs into 10 local schools and supporting 600 individuals within families who needed it most,” she said.

SECRETS OF ROYAL GARDENS SBS, Saturday, 8.30pm

FBI: MOST WANTED 10, Monday, 9.30pm

You never know what to expect with this fun-loving lifestyle series – other than a generous serving of childlike shenanigans and playful banter between the presenters. Amanda Keller, Dr Chris Brown (pictured), Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois have the kind of chemistry that morning-TV execs wish they could bottle. This week, the segments run the gamut from silly and witty to heartfelt and thoughtful. Dr Chris is with man’s best friend – coming to the rescue of a dog that needs a helping paw – and Miguel visits Batemans Bay NSW Fire Brigade to say thanks for their hard work during fire season.

There are many prisms with which to gaze at and try to understand the British royal family. This offering takes us deep inside the magical and surprising world of the family’s spectacular gardens. Narrated by Hugh Bonneville (pictured), it’s a tour which takes in many elements of the rarefied world, including hedged mazes and exotic animals, as well as the fascinating history of the Windsor clan. While one gardener states the obvious – “it’s great being a gardener in a place like this” – it’s a stunning insight into an exclusive world. This premiere episode explores the grounds of Buckingham, Kensington and Hampton Court Palaces.

When it comes to action films, Michael Bay is the movie director renowned for outrageous plots. In the realm of the by-the-numbers police procedural, Dick Wolf is your expert. As the creator of the Law & Order franchise – which has more than 10 spin-off series – Wolf has the blueprint for crime drama down pat, and that’s the way his fans like it. In this latest endeavour, Wolf is faithful to the popcorn predictability. In “Inheritance”, a couple are killed by a con artist pretending to be a personal trainer and Ortiz (Miguel Gomez) is between a rock and a hard place when Hana’s (Keisha Castle-Hughes, pictured) brother asks for a favour.

BARONS ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

You could be forgiven for momentarily wondering whether you are watching Home and Away, or a commercial, rather than a well-acted ABC drama. Infused with a sun-kissed atmosphere and tales of drugs and drinking, Barons is not a hard-hitting drama; rather it’s a nostalgic, soft focus look back on the heyday of ’70s surfing in Australia, polished off with great costuming and an excellent soundtrack. The Vietnam War is merely a backstory as we witness the implosion of a friendship and the birth of rival surfwear brands. Tonight, a tragedy will change Buddy (Lincoln Younes, pictured) forever when he and Shirley (Catherine Vån-Davies) get caught up in Mac’s (Kick Gurry) shady Bali dealings.

The deadline to apply for shortstay letting and home-hosted accommodation approval without incurring applications fees is June 30. Acting Environment and Sustainable Development Director Leo Jensen said Council had already received more than 650 applications from property owners keen to take advantage of the

GEM AT NOOSA NORTH SHORE “The positive comments from visitors is overwhelming,” Ms Mercer said.

Business Excellence

“We are consistently praised for the facilities, amazing location and high levels of service.”

Nominations are open for the 2022 Sunshine Coast Business Awards. Celebrate the Hinterland’s thriving business community. Nominate your favourite business or enter your own. Nominations close August 29. Visit sunshinecoast businessawards.com.au

Drew in Brisbane writes “I’ve been going to this place for 20 years and it is better than ever.” “What a gem, facilities are immaculate and hosts friendly,” says Cheryl Fillmore. “We’ve also recorded a jump in visitation to Boreen Point Campground, thanks to a $450,000 upgrade to modernise the amenities and water supply infrastructure,” Ms Mercer said.

A multi-million dollar upgrade has reinvigorated Noosa Northshore Campground. Visitation has virtually doubled since the refurbishment. Council injected $2.4 million for extra powered campsites, a new modern camp kitchen, outdoor beach showers, renovated and new amenities. Prior to the upgrades about 9,500

campers would visit the premier beachside holiday park annually, but that’s surged to 17,900 people annually since the refurbishment. Council’s Commercial Property Advisor Robyn Mercer said new management appointed by Council has helped lift the level of service and provided quality holiday park management services.

All three Noosa Holiday Parks have just received 2022 Tripadvisor Traveller Awards, which are based on reviews and opinions of travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12 month period. “It reflects the work our operators and staff have done to ensure visitors enjoy the tourism experience,” Ms Mercer said. The revamped Noosa Holiday Parks website has also sparked renewed interest in Council’s prized camping and caravanning sites.

REGISTER YOUR POOCH FOR FREE Act now to take advantage of Dog Rego Amnesty Month. During the month of May, dog owners can register their dog for free. There are currently over 10,522 dogs registered in the Noosa Shire. It is a State Government requirement that all dogs over the age of three months must be registered with their local council. The registration is renewed annually. Local Laws manager Paul Kirkley encourages responsible pet ownership. “This is a great opportunity for people to get into Council and get their dogs

registered. Registering your pet helps us identify lost dogs and reunite them quickly with their owners.” He explained, “It also gives us important information to ensure services such as waste bags, litter bins and off-leash areas are provided where they are needed. “The fees are also used to inform and educate the community about dogs.” You can register you dog online at noosa.qld.gov.au or visit our team at the Customer Service Centre in Tewantin.

Decarb at Noosa EV Expo By Zero Emissions Noosa, Inc The free and popular Noosa EV Expo is happening again on Sunday 19 June from 10am to 2pm, all along Sunshine Beach Road in Noosa Junction. The theme of this year’s event is Living in the Decarb Decade. Coordinator Vivien Griffin explained decarb was not short for the latest diet, but for the decarbonisation of everything which must happen in the decade to 2030. “Transport emissions must be tackled as a major element in climate action, so a key focus for the Expo this year is to showcase the amazing career opportunities for young people in the renewables economy. We really hope that many of Noosa’s high school students will

come along and be inspired by the positive and amazing transformations in sustainable transport options which are happening right now by Australian innovators,” she said. “We are particularly excited that University of Technology and Queensland University students will be bringing their electric racing cars to the Expo. “It will be a great opportunity for young people to meet personally with these inspirational students and hear of their experiences and passions. The QUT Motorsport website describes the team as a student-run motorsport team that designs, engineers, builds and markets a single seat electric race car for the Formula SAE-A competition.” QUT Motorsport incorporates students from a range of disciplines such as engineer-

ing, software, business, IT and many more. QUT Motorsport paves the way for future careers in industry and members get a chance to apply and develop the skills they have acquired at university in a real-world project. The team is described as a dedicated group of people who are passionate and committed to producing the best, most innovative solutions and refining their expertise through the design and fabrication of a Formula SAE car. “UQ Racing began in 2001, has participated in international competition, and developed Queensland’s first electric racing car in 2015,” said Ms Griffin. Ms Griffin said the EV Expo had grown from humble beginnings in 2018 to 2022, when the expo would take over the entire main street of Noosa Junction.

“Yes, we will showcase electric cars, but we will also be celebrating e-bikes, e-scooters, mopeds, motorbikes, trucks, buses and even electric racing cars. “Add to that a speakers’ forum, buskers, a face painter for children and trial e-bike and escooter rides on a great course, and great food from the cafes along the street. “As Sunshine Beach Road will be closed for the event, we recommend planning ahead for getting there. The Go Noosa free weekend buses will be running, and the first 250 to arrive by bus will receive a voucher from Noosa Landcare for two free trees.“ The Expo is supported by Noosa Council and Noosa Junction Association.

AM Auto has the answers By Abbey Cannan Local family business AM Auto Services has been operating in Noosaville since 2008 and is revving to provide tip top personal service to the community. Owners Miles and Angie Stinton have answered five top questions for locals to get to know their automotive workshop team: 1. What is your favourite part about running a family business in Noosa? “Getting to work with the people you want to spend all your time with.” 2. What sets your automotive workshop apart from others in the area? “As well as servicing all makes and models, we specialise and focus on specific brands (Subaru and Mitsubishi) to allow us to give the best, most knowledgeable service at a reasonable cost.” 3. What are your most popular services? “Logbook servicing. We are usually very com-

petitive on price compared to dealerships. We always use genuine manufacturers parts while servicing new vehicles under manufacturer’s warranty to ensure no concerns if the vehicle needs to be returned to the dealership for warranty concerns.” 4. What’s new at the workshop? “We are now certified for air conditioning service and repair, and we have included this in our offered services, mainly to avoid having to outsource to another company. We are a one stop shop, meaning, we can arrange extra services outsourced to other companies (such as tyres).” 5.

High tea for the hounds It’s celebration time for local charity PTSD Dogs Australia, who are set to mark their fourth birthday in style with a special fundraising event on Friday 17 June, dubbed High Tea for the Hounds. PTSD Dogs Australia is a local not-forprofit organisation that rescues death row dogs from pounds and shelters, and trains them to become loyal and supportive assistance dogs for veterans and first responders with PTSD. The fun morning tea will help raise much-needed funds, to help the charity carry out its vital work. The demand for these dogs is as astounding as it is tragic. The organisation does not receive any government funding and relies solely on sponsorships, grants, donations and corporate partnerships, and is run almost entirely by a team of more than 20 volunteers. Receiving an assistance dog can be lifechanging and in some cases, even lifesaving. The assistance dogs are provided at no cost to their handlers, plus they provide lifetime support to each PTSD assistance dog and their handler. Gather your friends, come along and have some fun, meet a few new furry friends, and help save two lives in the process. Enjoy a lavish morning tea with refreshments, entertainment, special guests and fabulous raffle prizes and lucky door prizes up for grabs, whilst at the same time raising funds for PTSD Dogs Australia. Tickets are $55 per person which includes a sumptuous high tea and a glass of bubbles on arrival. Tickets can be purchased online now at events.humanitix.com/high-tea-for-thehounds The high tea will be hosted at Noosa Golf

A local first responder with Archie. Club Function room, on 46 Cooroy-Noosa Road, Tewantin, from 10am-noon.

Makeover amazes owners By Abbey Cannan A Tewantin home in need of a desperate makeover has transformed into a spectacular piece of art, thanks to a local construction company. For some, the house should have been demolished, however, hiring the right builder turned the house from an ugly duck to a beautiful swan. When their team took on the project, Silk Design and Construct owners Cheay Silk and Daniela Silk knew it was going to be a fun challenge. “As a professional building company, we knew we had the experience and artistic flair that would turn the house into a spectacular home that would delight the owners and stamp our brand on the Sunshine Coast,” project admin Daniela said. “After completing the home, we realised that we had reinvented an authentic and stylish coastal/colonial home.” The local family business moved from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast in 2012, and have been accomplishing great new builds and renovations throughout the coastline and hinterlands ever since. “Back in the day, while working in Brisbane, we started getting phone calls about our services mainly requested in the Noosa region because of the modern/coastal style of the houses we completed in Paddington, Bulimba, and other Brisbane areas,” Daniela said. “It was then when we decided to move the business up here and started touching base with the real estate agents as a small builder. “This was simply amazing because since 2012 we have seen the region grow and dealt with great people. We are so lucky to be in an amazing location.” Owners of the Tewantin Crank Street project, Steve and Vivien James, said they were ecstatic about their renovation. “Silk Design and Construct really excel

Project director Cheay said the home needed asbestos removal, kitchen extension, maximising the bedroom and bathrooms spaces and quantities, and also creating an idyllic pool area including a stylish pool house. “We can happily say we brought the charm

and elegance back to the house with special details such as arches, cornices, feature timber bay windows, and doors all inspired by Vivian and Stev, with Hampton French Provincial sophisticated touches,” Cheay said. Silk Design and Construct is an Australian family business supporting the local community through hiring local staff, trades and suppliers. “If the customer wants a specific building request, we go the extra mile to find it as well as the tradesperson to fulfil their dream,” Cheay said. “We are always looking for ways to improve our professionalism and internal procedures

We attend the open home with the customer, discuss any needed renovations, and provide a written report detailing costs applicable.” For more information visit silkdesignconstruct.com or call 07 5327 3422 or 0437 232 133.

addition is already national park, a lot of it is self-restoring, and about 100 hectares is being helped along. Welcome to Yurol-Ringtail. But strangely, few people outside a small cohort who helped create it seem to know much about this extraordinary achievement. The story begins about a decade ago, during

the last grim days of the de-amalgamation battle for Noosa to get its shire back, when Noosa Parks Association veteran Michael Gloster and members of the NPA leadership team sat down and worked out the key headland projects that would need to be delivered over the long term to create a strong case for Noosa’s World Heritage listing. Michael Gloster recalls: “The first one was

bringing back the health of the river. The second one was linking Noosa, Cooloola and Tewantin national parks as a single 100,000-hectare national park estate. “To put this in context, when NPA set up shop 60 years ago, there was only 240 hectares on Noosa Headland, but over the previous decade or so, we gradually added bits in what is now known as Tewantin National Park.

While the pollies and the bureaucrats were backslapping each other over tea and scones at Noosa Council chambers the other day, the real celebration of the Yurol Ringtail Conservation Project was happening out in the soggy forest itself, where 34 koalas had been located. This important indicator of the significance of the project was reported by Noosa and District Landcare officer Rachel Lyons the night after the celebration. Using heat sensor cameras on drones across six sample areas of the 2400 hectares of former forestry and plantation land, Rachel and her team had made this small but significant discovery. Extrapolating the finding to current vegetated areas across the project area, that amounts to a current koala population of 286, with an expectation of 528 living in the YurolRingtail habitat by the time the revegetation work is complete. Koala restoration is just one of many exciting elements expected to arise as we near completion of the final, huge piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is Noosa’s crescent of green. Yurol-Ringtail is perhaps best understood by taking a hinterland drive. From Tewantin, head out along McKinnon Drive towards Boreen Point. To your left, with the exception of a few private properties, all the forest you see is part of the new park. At Louis Bazzo Drive go left. The forest you see to either side is parkland all the way to the outskirts of Pomona. From Pomona to Cooroy, the forest to the left is parkland. Take the Cooroy-Noosa Road towards Tewantin. From Tinbeerwah to the bottom of the escarpment, the forest to both sides is parkland. A thousand hectares of this 2400-hectare

Signing the MOU for project completion. NPA to join with Noosa Shire Council and the Queensland Government as equal partners in protecting forever Noosa’s surrounding green belt.” Speaking at the Yurol project’s celebration last week, Mayor Clare Stewart emphasised the historic collaboration that had allowed it to happen, and also acknowledged former mayors Playford and Wellington, “who were involved with this project from inception and are with us today”. But while acknowledging the past, she and other speakers also celebrated a future in which the Kabi Kabi First Nations and the Greenfleet Australia corporation would play key roles in the restoration and management of the parklands, with Greenfleet providing the funding through carbon credits from removing 700,000 tonnes of carbon from Noosa, while the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation would provide the workforce. As Kabi Kabi chair Norman Bond noted: “Kabi Kabi look forward to working with Greenfleet and Noosa Landcare in providing training and future employment opportunities for our people, and long-term protection of our country.” It seems fitting to give the last word to Michael Gloster, the architect of the YurolRingtail deal and now vice-president of Noosa Parks Association. He told the Council celebration: “We had to come up with a way to convert plantation forest to national park and we learnt about biodiversity and carbon sequestration as we went, then out of the blue, Greenfleet offered to fund the restoration through carbon offsets. “But it’s only been quite recently that we came to grips with Native Title and the prospect of co-operative management of the whole estate. “It’s a humbling prospect, because Kabi Kabi have been here for at least 18,000 years, so they’ve been involved 300 times longer than we have. “We take great pride in what we’ve achieved but we’re also humbled by what is in front of us – a many-hands approach to caring for country, with Kabi Kabi at the forefront. And we know it’s going to work as an incredible and perpetual legacy project. “So that’s what we celebrate today – a fiveway partnership to care for country.”

“Surrounding the rest was state forest, mostly pine plantation. We came to the realisation that to build our case, we had to buy back the land, convert it to hardwood and make it national park.” The Yurol–Ringtail acquisition, delivered in 2018, effectively seals Noosa forever within a crescent of protected national parks and wildlife corridors, creating a wilderness refuge of international standing and huge economic benefit at very little cost. It is not quite the final link – there are still 200 hectares to obtain - but as former Noosa mayor Tony Wellington told this writer soon after the acquisition: “This is probably the last really big environmental land project that Noosa Shire will see. I am very proud that it happened on my watch, that I was a part of developing the deal, and that the council I led supported such a grand scheme.” But the deal hadn’t been easy. During the Beattie and Bligh Queensland Labor governments in the first decade of this century, the state plantation forests were privatised, which was a devastating blow for Noosa Parks Association. Says Gloster: “We had all the state forest plantations in Noosa Shire on our hit list for revegetation as native forests and transfer to a future Tewantin National Park. “I sulked for a couple of years about the Beattie–Bligh governments’ sell-out, but there was a Eureka realisation that the forests we wanted were now owned by a global company called Hancock, run out of Boston, and it’s always easier to deal with pragmatic commercial interests rather than state bureaucracies.” Did Hancock really want to hold onto a couple of thousand hectares in Noosa, or would it sell if the price was right? Gloster decided to find out. Local management was unresponsive, but the parent company of HQ Plantations, which owned the leases on the forests in question, was Hancock Timber Resource Group, the world’s largest manager of ethical timberland investments, with more than US $50 billion under management. Gloster went right to the top and pleaded the case. Again, nothing happened. Gloster takes up the story: “Then out of the blue Brian Farmer, the CEO of Hancock Queensland Plantations, phoned me and invited me to lunch, where he told me it would cost $3.5 million. I knew it was do-able. But I knew I had to line up a lot of ducks quickly.” Firstly, Michael Gloster needed to ensure that Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service management would support the addition of revegetated state forest plantations to Tewantin National Park, then he needed the support of the Department of Environment and Science, which includes QPWS in its portfolio, and the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, which has state forests and overseeing HQ Plantations in its portfolio. He enlisted the help of Noel Playford, who had a long contact list from his days chairing the Local Government Association of Queensland, to set up meetings with the departmental heads. Says Gloster: “Noel accompanied me to each meeting, and the departmental bosses gave unequivocal support, including a willingness to recommend to their Ministers that the state join with NPA as equal financial partners in buying out HQ, as long as Noosa Council joined in for an equal share. “I then met with Mayor Wellington and Council CEO Brett de Chastel who indicated their personal approval and agreed to take it to council.” The bare bones of a deal between HQ Plantations, the state, Noosa Council and NPA, which concerned the three entities equally funding the $3.5 million acquisition, were stitched together within a couple of weeks, but it would take many months of hard yakka before formal legal contracts could be signed. Along the way, public servants and council officers overcame obstacle after obstacle, with de Chastel the rock-solid anchorman who kept things ticking along. But the most remarkable aspect of the deal was how a community organisation, Noosa Parks Association, could stump up a third of the money. Michael Gloster explains: “Since the turn of the century, the NPA had developed a business model that is an exemplar for environmental protection groups everywhere. It runs information centres at the Noosa National Park and the historic lighthouse cottage at Double Island Point, and the proceeds from these businesses go into a fund for the acquisition of land for national parks. “There are some expenses, but the net return is about $150,000 a year.

Why is NPA not fighting for Cooloola? Michael Gloster’s, The Shaping of Noosa, makes for nothing short of inspirational reading. To quote from The Battle For Cooloola: “Back in the early 1960s, fewer than 250 hectares in the whole of the Noosa region were protected as national park. The rest of the region was vulnerable to the loggers, sandminers, subdividers, developers and speculators who were becoming increasingly active, urged on by the development-at–any-cost Noosa Council of the day.” Now, “over 70,000 additional hectares are protected as either Noosa National Park……or as the majestic Cooloola National Park”. That was written in 1997. We know from last week’s Noosa Today, that the Yurol Ringtail Conservation project “effectively doubles the size of Noosa’s National Park estate, and nearly completes the crescent of perpetually protected national parks and wildlife corridors around our coastal built environment”. A magnificent achievement of which the Noosa Parks Association can be extremely proud, playing a very significant role in its creation. Just as this organisation can be similarly proud of its huge achievements in the creation of Noosa National Park and Cooloola NP in 1997, a monumental battle. When the Cooloola National Park was first declared, the amazing rainforest scrubs within the central area were excluded and logging continued here for another 15 years. Quoting again from The Shaping of Noosa, “Cooloola became known as the national park with a hole in its heart”. This brings me to the subject of the Cooloola Great Walk. I am a member of Noosa Parks Association and am very disturbed and saddened by their attitude towards the commercial development proposed for the Cooloola Great Walk, especially at Lake Poona and along the upper reaches of the Noosa River which includes the area of the Patterned Fens. I agree with Judy Barrass who wrote in last week’s Noosa Today that NPA “could be part of the rising swell of dissent around commercialisation of National Parks here and nationally”. I understand NPA are trying to promote the best outcomes for this area, but the only outcome for this pristine and vulnerable ecosystem should be one that specifies no cabins anywhere on the Great Cooloola Walk. The ecological integrity of this area should be maintained at all costs. I just cannot understand why Noosa Parks Association is not fighting for its protection after all their previous hard work and effort to preserve this special and unique area. To return to The Battle For Cooloola, “The Noosa River and Lakes system remains one of the most pristine waterways on the east coast of Australia , because Noosa Parks Association and the Cooloola Committee managed to have all but a tiny portion of its upper catchment protected as Cooloola National Park”. Noosa owes so much to NPA. So what has happened to integrity and accountability? Will the beautiful Poona Lake within the Cooloola National Park revert to being the “hole in its heart”? I hope not.

Election brings welcome change The surge towards independents at Saturday’s election is no mere aberration and those who expect or wish for a return to the more “normal” two party landscape are kidding themselves. One of the more disappointing labels used during the recent election campaign by some media and political commentators was the reference to a hung parliament (I confess I slipped into the terminology myself, on occasion). But can we now please banish this descriptor from our vocabulary and refer instead to a balanced Parliament. While the two main parties only secured around one-third of the primary vote on Saturday, and this has sent some into a state of apoplexy, coalitions of smaller parties and groupings is the norm in many countries around the world. There are 31 coalition governments in Europe, and you can add in Scotland (SNP and Greens) for good measure in the UK. In fact, coalitions exist in abundance in the Americas, Asia and in Africa. The new Parliament will be much more representative than the previous one, more representatives of ethnic backgrounds, more Indigenous representation and a far greater representation of women. At the time of writing (the day after the election), women are likely to make up 57 per cent of the Senate and the number of women in the House of Representatives will increase to about 37 per cent. Much more balance indeed. As far as our own local patch is concerned it is obvious that change will only happen in one of two ways. Alternative candidates must emerge from genuine grass roots, community sources. A quick check of local polling booths showed that on the primary vote, Llew O’Brien suffered swings against him of between 13.25 per cent in Noosaville, 8.92 per cent at Cooroy South, 9.13 per cent at Noosa Heads and 9.35 per cent at Tewantin South. Other Noosa Shire booths recorded negative swings between 5.18 per cent and 8.51 per cent.

The other way that change could occur would be if an electoral redistribution put Noosa at the centre of a new electorate. John Hare, Marcus Beach

Ticketing favours doubles I am writing to protest the ticketing policy that is being implemented by the J, Noosa Arts Theatre and other event providers, that prevents the purchase of a single ticket when it causes a single adjacent seat to be left empty (ie unsold). This discriminates against single people, in fact any person who choses to attend an event by themselves. It adversely effects almost half of the population in Noosa - categorised as single, divorced, widowed or unmarried in the Census. I believe the rationale is to prevent single seats being left unsold, but it seems to me to be a greedy marketing ploy that is disadvantaging the arts and music audience in particular. There is nothing community-minded about it, and it further increases a sense of dislocation and isolation. I understand the bottom line is ’it’s all about the money’, but this shouldn’t be to the disadvantage of the paying public. H. Pittman, Sunshine Beach

Fashion in politics If Prime Minister Albo could come across and wear a Gannex Raincoat now out of fashion and no longer manufactured but made famous and often worn by UK Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson in 1964-1970 and 1974-1976, (who Albo reminds me of), he could perhaps be described as a reincarnation. With the current weather we are experiencing, they would soon become a sensible new fashion trend for his supporters. Working in a menswear and tailor’s shop at the time they were sold and became a “have to have“ for his followers, the owner of the shop being a staunch conservative couldn’t wait to get them off the wet weather racks and blamed Harold for any bad weather. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

All in the timing Being before your time is a pathway to failure. I am sure that if Bill Shorten had taken the same encompassing policies to the election with the mood shown by electors in this election he well could have won, and our nation would be better off for it. We would not be seen as the international squelching pariah on the climate catastrophe, domestic energy prices would already be lower, industry would already be gearing up for a green energy manufacturing boom and many fewer people would be worried about an increase in petrol prices. Coal miners would be training for new jobs, coal fired power plants would be converting to renewable energy, housing prices would have levelled off and I would have a smile on my dial. Action on global warming is not a political thing and the Coalition is learning (we hope) that to ignore science and politicise common sense on the wrong side in an educated electorate is political suicide. It is worth noting that the Coalition government often said we had achieved 20 per cent of our reduction commitment from Paris. Please note that that figure has not increased in three years because that was all achieved by claiming uncleared forests were carbon stores that would not be released. Our actual carbon dioxide emissions have continued to increase. At the time I write this, Labor may win a majority. I hope not because the balance of good climate action lies with the Teals and Greens. This will not change until money to politicians from the fossil fuel industry is eliminated. Only the Greens have a policy for that. In the meantime, it should be remembered that two decades ago, economists were saying that a carbon tax is the best way of reducing CO2 emissions and warning that the longer we wait to take action on CO2 emissions, the more expensive it will become. We have reached the time for action and it will be more expensive than it would have been three or six or 20 years ago, but now we have a chance. Steve Hall, Cooroy

On The Soapbox Noosa Chamber of Commerce president Ralph Rogers

Chamber to lead growth As Australia heads into another rough patch of high inflation and low wages, as well as the threat of recurring Covid, we continue to see the destabilising impacts of a fragile economy. We Noosa residents need to understand a very important truth - the growth of our Shire has consistently undershot expectations and claims. It has failed to grasp the benefits of the low rate of interest and inflation rates Australia had over the last seven years. The Noosa Chamber of Commerce commissioned research that shows that, in real terms, the wealth of Noosa Shire has been going backwards by about $100 million each year and nobody has fully grasped what this meant about our community – there’s a wealthy few, a struggling many and, critically, a Council with limited resources to turn this around as we enter a high inflation period. For some months now a renewed Chamber of Commerce has been working hard to understand these problems, both through reviewing its own members’ experiences and through the commissioning of clear research evidence.

Having gained a better appreciation of the situation we face, the Chamber has shared this information with the Council and we are now focusing on playing our part to rebalance the economy in order to make it more robust so it can offer the community a chance of economic growth. The Chamber has developed a strategic plan for its own activities which it has presented to the Council for discussion. The Council has recognised it as worthy of consideration and worth assisting to implement. We welcome the scrutiny our plan was exposed to, as should every other recipient of public funds, and are pleased that it has been commended by Councillors and staff as the first step in what we can jointly do to turn around the economic fortunes of Noosa for a better tomorrow. There will always be some critics out there looking to undermine and misrepresent what our Chamber is here to do for the many small businesses and our wider community but we are committed to playing our part to assist Council develop economic strategies that are

to the benefit of everyone. We are a non-political entity which has been granted $30,000 in two stages by the Noosa Council, subject to a range of conditions that we have happily agreed to so we can modestly resource the Chamber as we work collaboratively for the benefit of our members, our aligned associations and the broader community. The truth is that today’s Noosa Council has limited resources dedicated to economic development. Our experienced new Chamber Board can and will assist, working with government of all levels, to see innovation brought to Noosa so we can meet our community’s full economic and social potential. The newly formed Chamber has assembled a solid group of experienced business people across multiple industry sectors to help bring about a socially, environmentally and economically vibrant Noosa Shire. It’s the whole reason we operate and are offering to assist

the Council to develop and deliver sound economic outcomes for the Shire for the benefit of our whole community - not just our members. Our strategic plan, endorsed by Council, is available on our website. An important component of the plan is its description of how the Chamber fits into the business ecosystems of our community. The Council’s grant to the Chamber will allow us to fund capacity to grow our business membership, provide independent research so that we can advocate and assist in developing policy initiatives to rebalance our economy and deliver drivers for growth. Our refreshed and growing Noosa Chamber of Commerce is here for the many businesses in Noosa and our wider community so we can all flourish no matter what challenges the wider nation faces. We welcome new members and encourage people to visit our website - noosachamberofcommerce.com.au - to find out more about us or join as a member.

More Queenslanders can’t meet basic living expenses Salvation Army research has highlighted that the most vulnerable in our society are struggling to make ends meet, with 90 per cent of those surveyed finding it a challenge to meet basic living expenses, including housing, utilities, food, and health care, in the past 12 months. The new report, released as part of the annual Red Shield Appeal, surveyed over 200 people who have been assisted by the Salvos in Queensland over the past 12 months. The research found that after paying for housing costs, 96 per cent of respondents were living below the poverty line, with 74 per cent saying that managing financial stress was one of their greatest challenges, 72 per cent needing to ask for financial help from family and friends and 56 per cent not being able to afford medical or dental treatment when they need it. “Sadly, almost half of those surveyed have been forced to go without meals due to shortage of money, 48 per cent can’t afford medicines prescribed to them and 36 per cent can’t pay their rent or mortgage on time,” Simon Gregory, Qld public relations secretary, The Salvation Army, said. “Over recent years, Queenslanders have faced unprecedented economic stress and uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation and rising costs of living. In addition, we’ve faced fires, drought and, most recently floods, putting even more financial pressure on the most vulnerable. “Both housing stress and the risk of homelessness is high amongst those who participated in our research, with 78 per cent in housing stress, paying 30 per cent or more of their household income on housing, and 47 per cent in extreme housing stress, paying 50 per cent or more of their household income on housing.” After paying for housing costs, many households were left with little disposable income – respondents in paid employment were left with just $28 a day to live on after paying for housing, and those on government support payments were left with only $22 a day. “Our research has shown that the situation is particularly dire for those who are living on government support payments. These people are struggling to afford their basic needs, with 93 per cent finding it difficult to meet their necessary living expenses and 98 per cent living below the poverty line,” Mr Gregory said. “It is abundantly clear that many of those living on government benefits are facing extreme financial pressure, finding it hard to

Being able to meet basic living expenses should be the norm for all in an advanced economy like Australia, and not something we are still discussing in 2022,” Mr Gregory said. Over the past 12 months, The Salvation Army has seen a significant increase in people who are turning to them for support,

and they are calling on Queenslanders to get behind them to help the Salvos keep up with demand and leave no one in need. The research reflects The Salvation Army’s Social Justice Stocktake released last month, which revealed housing affordability was the second most issue of concern in the community after mental health. Now in its 58th year, The Red Shield Appeal is The Salvos’ flagship fundraising appeal. This year the aim is to raise $5.4 million

in Queensland to fund more than 400 centres and services across the state, with the Red Shield Appeal Weekend taking place on 28 and 29 May. “We live and breathe our mission in our work with individuals and families experiencing hardship and crisis every single day, but we need the entire community’s support to achieve this. As Salvos, when we see someone in need, we can also see the potential of what they can achieve with our support, so please give generously,” Mr Gregory said. Friday, 27 May, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 37

Sage shares family saga By Jim Fagan For 15 years, Angie Oakley of Noosa Heads has felt she should write the history of her family. Now, 133,000 words later, the feeling has morphed into a novel and has just been published. Next month she will sign copies of the immensely readable blockbuster at Annie’s Bookshop at Peregian Beach, content that The Porcelain House is the sort of book, as she told Noosa Today, “I love to read -- a story of ordinary people caught up in the crosswinds of World War Two that swept through their lives leaving them to pick up the pieces.” While the book has its origin in her own family, Angie says it was a “mixture of fact and fiction”. During the war, thousands of Australians went to England to join the fight against Nazism. Among them was Bill Howard, a young Queenslander who found himself in that most risky of jobs – a rear gunner in a Lancaster bomber. Angie’s father, Lieutenant Tom Waldron, befriended Bill, brought him to his home in London and introduced him to his younger sister, Doreen Angie said: “A romance blossomed and promises were made but the war that brought them together was to deal a lasting and damaging blow to the young couple. “It set in train a tragic story that has stretched down the years from the war to the present day, and from England to Australia. “I knew these people. I was a young witness to the way events played out, and this gave me the impetus to tell their story which unfolds down generations and across the world.”

She grew up in central London and has drawn on vivid memories to recreate post-war life in that city where a sudden space in a terrace of houses – “like a missing tooth” – testified to the bombing endured by her fellow Londoners. She said many of the characters – her family –were not difficult to bring to life. After the war her father was a writer and producer for the BBC, and she still remembers the clacking of his old Remington typewriter echoing through their little London flat. “It wasn’t much of leap for me to move from a Remington to a Mac and carry on the family tradition. She said her book wasn’t just a tale with plot and character. “For me, it became vital to set down these family stories and record their lives before they disappeared into the past, unmarked and unremembered. “My sister and I are the only ones left who knew these people – their courage and fortitude, as well as their laughter and song, and their love of a good party. If someone doesn’t commit it to print, it’s gone forever.” Angie, a former teacher of English, came to Australia with husband Bob in the late ‘70s and lived in Daylesford, Victoria and Brisbane before coming to Noosa about 10 years ago. She loves to travel and sings with Noosa Chorale. She is a member of the choir’s publicity team. The Porcelain House has already had favourable reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Angie will be at Annie’s Books on Peregian on Saturday 11 June between 10am and noon, happy to chat and sign her book.

Baker Boy on way The wait is over for music fans with the announcement of headline acts across the threeday Caloundra Music Festival. The lineup includes Art vs Science, Baker Boy, Ben Lee, Client Liaison, Coterie, Felivand, Missy Higgins, The Presents, The Regime, The Rolling Stones Revue (featuring Adalita, Sarah McLeod and Tim Rogers), Skunkhour, Vaudeville Smash and The Waifs. The family friendly festival is now in its milestone 15th year and at the site it started at – the beachside Kings Beach Amphitheatre from September 30 to October 2. Sunshine Coast Council Division 2 Councillor Terry Landsberg said last year’s survey of attendees showed so much community pride in this event. “Local residents should feel really proud of the growth of this community festival, established back in 2007 as a one-day event, which is now worth more than $3 million each year in terms of economic and tourism benefits for the Sunshine Coast,” Cr Landsberg said. “That’s an enduring legacy which continues to benefit our community. “We had fantastic support from Queenslanders last year, while border restrictions hindered both performers and punters in numerous ways when it came to travel and events. “This year is a different story. The line-up is strong, and we look forward to welcoming back interstate performers and attendees.” Tickets are now on sale for this year’s Caloundra Music Festival and punters can go allin with a three-day pass. That’s great value for three days, three stages and 10 hours of live performance each day. For more information and to buy tickets, visit caloundramusicfestival.com

Queensland Garden Expo is returning The Queensland Garden Expo is one of Australia’s most-loved gardening events, attracting the country’s gardening royalty to the speaker program, more than 40,000 visitors through the gates and injecting more than $10 million into the Sunshine Coast economy each year. This year the award-winning, three-day event will open its gates on 8 July when more than 360 exhibitors will have everything gardening-related on offer, including one of the largest ranges of plants visitors are likely to see in one place in Queensland. Event chairman Simon Smith said they were looking forward to welcoming back many of the regular interstate gardening presenters, exhibitors and visitors who have not been able to attend the event over the past two years. “There is a real excitement building and we are sure that garden lovers will come out in force to take advantage of all the information and huge range of gardening products on display,” Mr Smith said. Event manager Marion Beazley said the event will once again host Australia’s biggest gardening speaker program including favourites such as Gardening Australia’s Costa Georgiadis, Sophie Thomson and Jerry Coleby-Williams and regulars Phil Dudman The Garden Guru, Claire Bickle, Kate Wall and many more. “What makes our event so unique in gardening circles is that expo visitors have access to the best gardening minds in the country — both through the extensive three-day speaker program and by chatting directly to our growers representing the many nurseries exhibiting at the event,” Ms Beazley said. “We have seen interest in gardening explode during the pandemic – people have taken to their gardens to grow their own food and to create a wonderful space to relax. “We don’t see that slowing down as many have found a passion for gardening they never knew they had! “Our young gardeners haven’t been forgotten about with lots of activities and workshops on offer to start them on their gardening journey.

The delightful Molly Galpin has turned her creative energy to making dolls of fellow artists for her show, My Doll Muse, at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery. While she has been a 3D artist for many years, doll-making is a new pursuit for Molly. “They’re so inspiring, all bringing their own style,” she said. The dolls are created in mixed media, textiles, clay and recycled materials, lovingly hand-stitched and some painted. Come and meet them face-to-face in the Carriage Room, on show from 4 to 29 June. Also throughout June, the gallery will host a memorial exhibition of the works of a favourite local artist, the late Yvonne Thompson. “Life isn’t about finding yourself – life is about creating yourself,” Yvonne once said. This beautiful exhibition is testament to her creative spirit. Yvonne started painting landscapes in New Zealand using oils and, after she arrived in Australia in 1970, took up watercolours. Yvonne said the intention of her works was to capture and reflect the beauty of the Sunshine Coast and celebrate unique moments in time. In Memory of Yvonne Thompson is on show from 28 May to 22 June. Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station Street Pomona, open 10am4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.

The Queensland Garden Expo is one of Australia’s most-loved gardening events. Friends by Molly Galpin. “The Queensland Garden Expo provides a wonderful opportunity to learn more about all aspects of gardening and for those without a back yard, keeping indoor plants is catered for too. The benefits of having live plants in your home have long been known and in the past couple of years, indoor plants have boomed in popularity. “And if you’re having any trouble, one of our most popular stands is the Plant Clinic where visitors can ask any question — from bringing in leaves or photos for identification, to getting free advice related to your garden or indoor plants.“ The event will once again celebrate organic gardening and permaculture in the Giant Kitchen Garden which is a collaboration of many gardening and permaculture groups from across the region, coming together to help create a piece of gardening paradise. “This event really brings the community

together but it also has a massive impact on our local economy given around 65 per cent of our visitors travel from outside the region,” Ms Beazley said. “This results in an economic impact of more than $10 million benefiting a diverse range of businesses and the many community organisation involved in the event from across the Sunshine Coast. “The event appeals to everyone from the most experienced green thumbs to absolute beginners. There is something for all ages, with entry free for kids aged 15 and under and a giant kid’s playground to keep them entertained.” The 2022 Queensland Garden Expo will be held from 8-10 July at the Nambour Showgrounds, Coronation Avenue, Nambour.

Still Fired Up will be open at Wallace House, Noosaville from 4 June to 28 June, 9am to 3pm. The exhibition explores the rich art tradition of the still life genre, which originates from ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman art, and has inspired artists for centuries. “Here we have combined the artistic interpretation of subjects with objects of inspiration. All pottery and ceramic works in this exhibition have been fired in our own kiln on site at Wallace House,” NACA president Gabi Dick said. “For some artists, their practice reflects the traditions of naturalism and realism, while

others have taken a more expressive approach where the work is not intended to illustrate a subject exactly, but to communicate ideas,” she said. Demonstrating we are indeed still fired up about art, Noosa Arts and Crafts Association is proud to present work in the tradition of still life, juxtaposed with objects of inspiration – fine ceramics, pottery and decorative mosaics – all from our own artists. A treasure trove of craft and artwork is on sale in the shop and a special pop-up cafe will be operating in Wallace House.

Still Fired Up will be open at Wallace House, Noosaville from 4 June to 28 June.

KATIE ROSE NEEDS VOLUNTEERS Katie Rose Cottage Hospice (KRCH) finds itself short of volunteer personal carers. KRCH relies heavily on volunteer personal carers to assist their nursing staff in all aspects of end-of-life care. This is to ensure guests have the best possible care and comfort in their final days. KRCH is urgently seeking volunteers who can give a few hours of their time on a regular basis- in particular retired nurses, nurses, student nurses, AINs and PCs to fulfil this role. Volunteers will need to have an interest in palliative care and be fully vaccinated (as per government mandates for medical services). For information visit katierosecottage.org.au/ volunteering/

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Seniors overcome mud By Julian Pitts Gee when is the rain going to stop? Once again another weekend of horrendous footy conditions at Rococo oval with sheets of water and eventually mud making the ground look like scenes from the ‘80s when, as avid footballers, you just played in anything. Mind you, the third-placed Noosa Tigers are not complaining after producing a fantastic 13 goal win at the expense of Brisbane side, Mt Gravatt. The Tigers continued their courageous endeavours at the footy and, to be honest, had 22 contributors across the board. Big Michael Bussey was outstanding, playing and marking like a dry day with his good mate and sidekick Tommy Rourke also loving the suburban Melbourne-type conditions to be two of the Tigers’ best players. Skipper Aaron Laskey again, and as normal revelled, in the slow going, racking up plenty of touches with his strong presence around the footy. Aaron Wilson also shone and always will with the footy work ethic he displays. His move to key defence has been fantastic. And another big man Connor McDonald again showed his resilience and endurance competing the entire day as he always does. A great win by the senior men, in fact, a great day for all our senior grades who all won at Rococo oval. Media Award Votes: 5. M.Bussey. 4. A.Laskey. 3. A.Wilson.

Torrential rain turned the Rococo oval to mud. 2. T.Rourke. 1. C.McDonald. Great also to see our Under 27 women have their first win of the season on a brutally rainaffected track on Sunday. Great stuff. On a sadder note, sorry to hear the passing of Noosa Tiger life member and legendary time keeper Tommy McCafferty last week. The McCafferty family has been synomous with the Tigers for over 40 years. He will be sadly missed, with all at the Tigers sending their best wishes to family and friends. The oval is obviously closed to all junior and senior training this week to let it recover. This week’s presidents’ luncheon with comedian Anthony Lamonde is going ahead, so get your spots booked ASAP. Keep an eye for that is happening at the Tigers via our Facebook and social media platforms and good luck to all those representing Noosa this weekend. Go Tigers Cheers Pittsy

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Mid week fishing action As we move toward another windy weekend, now is a time to prep for the change in season, or maybe think about other styles of fishing in our local region. Living on the coast we are lucky enough to have estuary, dam, and river fishing on offer. Right now might be a bit tough, but when the winds blow and the swell is up, these places often let you wet a line while exploring our beautiful region by land, boat or kayak. For anyone looking to get into kayak angling or exploring the local region, we can point you in the right direction with Noosa Outdoors stocking kayaks and all the must have extras to get you on the water. For those lucky enough, we had some cracking weather mid-week that saw boats head offshore to enjoy a mixed bag of species on offer. Some larger boats headed toward double island and caught not only pelagic species, but bigger winter fish. Bait anglers have been landing some chunky snapper around the 4kg-plus mark on mullet and squid baits. Also in the mix, there have been some jewfish which often turn up in the cooler waters and winter time. These fish will take baits from pilchard to jigs and plastics. If fishing soft plastics for trophy snapper, try using the lightest jig head for your gear with a curl tail plastic like a 5.5 inch Power bait nemesis. The subtle slow fall is a huge trigger for big mid-water snapper to smash these on the drop. Once the winds and swell drop you can expect reefs like Sunshine, Halls and Jew Shoal to be fishing very well. With a break in angling pressure, the flooding river will see a huge amount of bait hitting the local reefs which gets

Doing this will see you catch good whiting bream and flathead. For those with crab pots, make sure you set a few as crabs are always on the move during this weather. With the full moon behind us we will soon experience the neap tides and with it cleaner water. No matter where you fish, keep trying new approaches as you never know what may work for you. Good luck out there and see you all next week. Now for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up-to-date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and remember Tight Lines and Bent Spines!

While the rivers along the coastline empty out, you can expect to find some good gutters and holes on offer. With good sized whiting in the high 30cm range and dart around 40cm, now is a great time to break out the lightweight gear and grab a feed. Don’t forget, we carry bait to suit all styles of fishing with locally sourced cured worms one of the best beach/estuary baits around.

With the river fresher you are best to stay around the mouth and along Gympie Terrace. Bait anglers will do well fishing the drop offs and along the edges of the sand banks as you proceed toward the river mouth. With many fish now holding downstream from the upstream freshwater they are going to be hunting by taste and smell. This makes using burley pellets a must and a good glug of tuna oil and some sand all mixed up will bring the fish

Riders to unite for fourth annual Noosa Classic event The 2022 Noosa Classic has been officially launched with the fourth annual event scheduled to take place on Sunday 14 August in the glorious Noosa region north of Brisbane. Constantly evolving and quickly developing a reputation as Queensland’s finest Gran Fondo, the popular event will cater for all riders - from keen amateurs to top-level pros. Run as a Queensland-only event in 2021, riders from around Australia will be thrilled to be able to return to Noosa to not only enjoy stunning cycling, but the best the iconic holiday and tourism destination has to offer. Additionally, as in previous years, riders from places further afield such as New Zealand, Asia and Europe are expected to sign up for the event and enjoy a dream bike break in Noosa. The August event will feature three courses - the 65km Rouleurs Classics, 120km Challenge Classic and the big one - the 160km Maxi Classic. All courses have been painstakingly designed to offer the best of the pristine Noosa region. From the subtropical coast to the rich and lush Hinterland, riders will enjoy the best of greater Noosa. Like many fellow cyclists from the southern states, Classics’ founder James Yaffa can’t wait

to enjoy Queensland’s warm winter and again ride the Noosa region. “We are truly excited to be heading back to Noosa for the fourth Noosa Classic,” he said. “And this year’s event will be particularly significant with interstate and overseas riders able to again travel to the Sunshine State. To imagine close to 2000 riders back together after such a tumultuous period that we’ve all been through over the past few years - the 2022 Noosa Classic will offer riders, sponsors, locals and supporters a real reason to celebrate.“ Early bird pricing is now open on the event website noosaclassic.com.au where riders can find out more information about Noosa Classic pricing and offers. “A special thank you to Tourism and Events Queensland and Noosa Shire Council,” Mr Yaffa said. “We also offer heartfelt thanks to local Noosa and Sunshine Coast event volunteers and supporters along with the Queensland Police for their ongoing support and assistance. “Without event partners, the Noosa Classic simply would not be possible - we offer our sincere thanks to Volvo Car Australia, BMC, MET helmets, Fizik, Schwalbe Tyres and a host of other cycling industry luminaries.”

The 2022 Noosa Classic has been officially launched with the fourth annual event scheduled to take place on Sunday 14 August. NOOSA WEATHER FORECAST

A light grip is the key to putting TAKE THE TIP It is probably true to say that putting is the most important part of golf. The putter is the club that we use most during a round with our putts sometimes making up to 40 per cent of our total score. With this in mind, it is important to develop a consistent stroke, with great timing. To help encourage timing and consistency, it is important to keep your grip pressure light throughout the stroke, particularly on those tricky short putts inside 2m from the hole. There are many influences on the putting stroke, however, developing great timing and staying light and relaxed are amongst the most important. Good luck and good golfing. GREG LYNCH of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs senior PGA teaching professional

Happy golfers after a recent Tuesday Club outing at Noosa are (from left) former Australian cricket coach Darren Lehmann, Craig Strudwick, Peter Buhk and Murray McMillan.

Craig’s job is pesty After a 20-year career in the police force, the last thing Craig Strudwick imagined when he relocated to Noosa was that he’d continue to spend his life chasing pests. These pests, though, aren’t of the criminal variety. They’re more likely mosquitoes, termites or cockroaches. But, according to Craig, they can be just as elusive and create as much damage as the human kind. Craig Strudwick had a much different lifestyle in mind when he quit his job as a policeman in Adelaide in 2005 and moved to Noosa. “My wife Kylie had secured a job as a pharmacist and I saw myself as being a stay-athome dad,” he said. “I’d had a gutful of the police force and we wanted a complete change.” One of the first things he did was join what was then the Tewantin-Noosa Golf Club, and golf has been one of the constants in Craig’s life ever since. His dreams of a domestic lifestyle changed quickly when Craig bought a herb farm at Eumundi, and settled down to work the land. Then, a friend associated with the South Pacific Resort at Noosaville mentioned that they were looking for somebody to take over the control of insects at the resort. “I knew about spraying for pests through my work at the herb farm, so I said I’d give it a go,” Craig said. That was the beginning of Top House Services, which has become a thriving pest control business where Craig is kept fully occupied. Except for Tuesdays, of course. That’s the one day of the week that Craig reserves for golf. And at Noosa last Tuesday Craig showed his skill on a course, water-logged after days of rain, to shoot six-over-par and win the A grade prize with 39 stableford points. He had played golf socially in Adelaide and was a battler at Noosa, with a handicap of 16, until he took his daughter Calais along for golf lessons. As her game began to develop, Craig was motivated to improve his own. Over time he reduced his handicap to 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 May, 2022

eight, though pressure of work restricts the amount of time he can devote to golf. “I used to play Friday afternoons with some mates, but these days I get out only on Tuesdays,” he said. With winter closing in, and the bugs taking time off, Craig is hopeful of finding more time over the next few months to devote to a game he loves. “This is a great club with great people and I always look forward to Tuesdays,” he said. Grathan’s group looks to hickory titles Cooroy trio Grathan Leatherbarrow, Jason Norris and Kaleb Hamilton are among the first golfers to enter this year’s Australian Hickory Championships to be played in Brisbane in early September. The championships, the highlight of the year’s hickory golf calendar, will be played at Nudgee, Royal Queensland and Brisbane from September 11 to 13. Grathan, a hickory fanatic who says he prefers playing with the traditional wooden clubs rather than standard golf equipment, hosts regular Thursday afternoon rounds of hickory golf at Cooroy – weather permitting. In fact, Cooroy was to have been the site of this year’s Bobby Jones Trophy, a major Queensland hickory event, a fortnight ago. “We had to call it off because of all the rain,” Grathan said. “Hopefully it will be rescheduled for November.” An enthusiastic army of golfers – including an increasing number of young players – play regular monthly hickory events at Royal Queensland. “It’s a thrill to play golf just as it was intended to be played almost a century ago,” Grathan said. Herbert shines in tough PGA conditions With birdies on the first and fourth holes of the final round, Lucas Herbert briefly looked a chance of contending in the final round of the US PGA Championship at Southern Hills this week. But the 26-year-old, who is coached by Sunshine Coast-based Dom Azzopardi and is still an ambassador for the Peregian club, faded on the challenging back nine.

He had bogeys on 11, 12 and 14 and a double bogey on 16, when his second shot found the water, before finishing in style with birdies on the last two holes. Herbert had rounds of 68, 73, 68 and 71 for an even par total of 280 and a tie for 13th place. The performance will ensure his place in next year’s PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in New York. He matched Cameron Smith’s score to share the honour of being the best-performed Australian. Herbert hadn’t played a tournament since missing the cut at his debut at the US Masters last month. “I’d had three weeks off leading up to this event so I’m relatively fresh compared to the guys who have played more in the last couple of weeks,” said Herbert, whose best finish in a major before this week was a tie for 31st at the 2020 US Open. American Justin Thomas won the PGA in a three-hole playoff over Will Zalatoris. Rain ruins another pennant weekend After two scheduled rounds of this year’s junior pennant season, not a shot has been played. The second round, featuring teams in Division 2 of the competition, was called off on Sunday after drenching weekend rain left Noosa Springs golf course saturated. Division 1 play had already been postponed because a number of players were required to compete in schools’ competition in Townsville. The season will now begin on Sunday at Tin Can Bay with Noosa taking on Maroochy River 1 in Division 1 and Noosa Springs up against Maroochy River 2. Noosa tackles Noosa Springs in Division 2. Officials were meeting this week to consider options for the remainder of the season, including catching up on the first two washed out rounds. Consistent Burns in the money Yandina’s Brad Burns shot matching rounds of 69 for a 36-hole total of four-under-par 138 to finish 6th in the two-day Mackay Pro-Am late last week. Burns, who is keeping his hand in during a

break in the Legends Tour, finished five strokes behind the winner, fellow Queenslander Brett Rankin. Veteran Noosa professional Mark Tickle, with rounds of 76 and 73 was 23rd. In the Pioneer Valley Pro-Am on Sunday, Burns continued his good form with a twounder 70, which was good enough for 12th place. Cooroy vets find somewhere to play Cooroy’s course, drenched with more than 530mm of rain since the beginning of May, has been closed for a fortnight, but Cooroy veterans at least got a game last week when they travelled to Mt Coolum for the traditional Coo-Coo Shield clash. A total of 88 players trudged their way around the course, many walking as carts were restricted to paths. Cooroy’s Mike Kent won the A grade competition with 40 points, with Mt Coolum’s David Wright taking B grade, and Paul Jeckeln, of Mt Coolum, winning C grade with 42 points - the day’s best score. Mt Coolum took the Coo-Coo Shield by 60 shots, reversing the result of the previous encounter in February. Sign up for fun at Noosa Springs There is still time to register for Noosa Springs Skins Series event to be played on Wednesday 8 June. The fun, social event offers teams the chance to win four bottles of wine on each hole – that’s 72 bottles all up. It’s a team 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.

Dolphins splashed down Wet, muddy and miserable is how the conditions were described by supporters who braved the weather at Maroochydore last weekend to watch the Ray White Noosa Dolphins take on their traditional foes. The scoreboard in all games matched the conditions with the Swans victors in A Grade, Reserve Grade and Colts with the women having a bye. Despite the 17-12 loss, A Grade coach Matt Buckland was still able to identify a number of positives in the performance. “Those conditions were deplorable, but both sides had to deal with that and the Swans did that better than us. “We took a lot out of that game with the team never taking a backward step and, thankfully, the boys remain upbeat despite the loss,” he said. While the conditions didn’t suit the Noosa game plan, fullback James Wilson-Bishop relished in both attack and defence, taking out the man of the match honours.

Lessons too were learnt in the reserve grade loss, but not the sort they wanted, according to coach Mark Winder. “The conditions were poor, but our discipline was poorer,” Winder said. “You are not going to win matches when playing with 14 men for 40 minutes of the match,” he mused as he reflected on the two yellow and one red cards issued to his charges. Down 6-3 at half time, match ended with a 16-8 score line. Away again this weekend, the Ray White Noosa Dolphins head to Caboolture taking on the Snakes who sit just three points behind them on the ladder. Another loss on the road will see the Dolphins drop out of the top four midway through the season, a position that places more pressure on the young team. With a string of five home matches after this weekend, the Dolphins will be keen to retain the top four spot as they enjoy some home ground support heading into round three.

Conditions were tough for the Dolphins’ hard working forward pack.

Great play all round by junior Dolphins in the rain After the previous week was rained out, the Noosa Dolphin Juniors braved last weekend’s deluge in a wet and wild round five on Saturday. U14s Noosa 7 defeated by Maroochydore 41 We had a home round this week in some of the wettest and worst conditions that both teams had ever seen. It made it a very interesting game where both teams needed to revert back to basics due to the mud and rain. Due to Maroochydore’s constant pressure on Noosa’s line, the goal line defense had to be on point which was difficult at times due to the slippery conditions. Sadly, that was not enough from Noosa as Maroochydore came out on top this time. But due to some luck and skill from our number 20, Tom Baker, we were able to score a converted try from half way. Everyone on the team put in their all in the wet, muddy and at times extremely cold conditions. U12s by player Alex Bingham It was a smashing wet weather game for the U12s this round, defeating the Eumundi Dragons 29-0. A great start to the first half for the boys after they smashed over two quick tries in the early minutes. One thing led to another, and the rain couldn’t stop our spirits scoring two more tries before half-time. At half-time the Dolphins led 24-0. The rain was pouring down even more in the second half which made it difficult for the Dolphins to steal a few extra points before the game ended. Eumundi held strong, until Liam Stroem stormed across the line for the Dolphins’ final try. Player of the match went to three players this week – Oscar Lloyd, Hamish Payne, and Tonkla Phumtabtim. U11s We arrived to another wet Saturday game against Uni playing on the Main Dolphin Oval. We had our best start to a match this season. Maintaining possession, we worked the ball down field with lots of enterprising running and passing from backs and forwards. We were rewarded with a try in the corner to George. We were unable to maintain possession for any significant period for the remainder of the half, meaning the boys had to defend their try-line bravely for long periods, but eventually it led to a try to Uni. It was a great defensive effort by all boys and in particular by Lewis, Noah, Mac and Cormac. At half time the score was 5-5. As the rain continued to fall in the second half, again we struggled to maintain possession handing over the ball too many times and failing to win the contest at the breakdown. Again, we defended stoically but the sheer weight of possession and territory to Uni saw them score to lead 12-5. The boys regrouped in their in-goal and hatched a plan for the equaliser which came to fruition with Lenni putting his hand up for

the conversion and coolly slotted it between the posts for an exciting 12-12 draw. U10s Reds This round saw the U10s Reds dominant against University on a sodden Noosa Dolphins field. It was a very pleasing turnaround from our last game and made for happy coaches. The boys showed great team effort with strong attacking phases and very solid defence in the first 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the game was cut short after a University player was knocked unconscious. Thankfully, the boy, Hunter, has since been cleared of serious injury in what was a very concerning incident. What was really wonderful to see was the respect and genuine concern our boys had for this player and his wellbeing, with our captain Kai speaking to Hunter and his mother before the side left the field. This is sportsmanship at its best.

U8s Wow, what a start to our first proper game of tackle. The teams both took it to Eumundi and Caloundra on a wet and windy Saturday morning down at Kawana. Some great running from Zach left Harry with plenty of opportunities to take a few tries and Player of the Match honours, followed closely behind with Henry doing the hard yards in tight. Jenson, Johnny and Harvey all pushed for Player of the Match with some great rugby. Hunter, Aston and Jack also put in fine efforts around the field In game two, the Fins shot out of the blocks very quickly with Finn running in a few quick length-of-the-field tries. Some great running and passing saw Malik pick up the Player of the Match try of the day, finished off by Stella. The workhorses of the team, Teddy, Ari, and Mason did the hard yards to keep the quick ball coming. Hit of the day went to Zach B, and Hugo impressed with some great pil-

fered kept Eumundi back peddling. What a great game from both U8s teams. U7s Our Under 7 Fins kicked off first against Brothers on a wet, muddy and windy Saturday morning. After initially dodging puddles and getting used to a rugby ball that more resembled a bar of soap, the team learnt that today’s game needed to be played tighter. Some great evasive running by Jake B led to a handful of tries, but it was great handling and speed in defence that led to a Player of the Match for Cisco C. Under 7s Reds played a low-on-numbers Caloundra side and it was great to see the Noosa team fill in and help them out. Belly slides and puddle jumps made way for some great rugby, with the twins James and Toby E putting on their stepping master class. Theo kept the team enthused with his dogged defence.

Mum takes on Runaway On Saturday 28 May, Coolum Beach mum-oftwo Renee Chagoury will line up for the Runaway Noosa Marathon, spurred on by the challenges she’s overcome and her community of female runners. Over the past three years, 33-year-old Renee has completely transformed her relationship with exercise, overcoming post-natal depression, losing 42 kilograms and starting a women-only run club. Renee has used her story and passion to inspire women all over the country to take up running through her Sole Sisters Run Club. Before she found running, Renee had struggled with weight fluctuations her whole life and was unable to form a positive relationship with exercise. But after suffering post-natal depression following the birth of her second child, she took up running and hasn’t looked back since. “I went to the gym before, but I just used to go to the gym and not really know what I was doing,“ Renee said. “I’d go there lift some weight, spend most of the time on my phone and not really push myself the way that I am now. “Then I started running and it’s a way different experience now. Before running it was never a good, positive relationship with exercise, it was just going to the gym to tick the box and not really do a solid workout or enjoy being there.” Juggling the alternating sleeping schedules of her two young children, Renee was unable to find time for herself and became housebound. Determined to put her time at home to good use, she bought a treadmill and began to run around her babies’ routines. “I think when you just have the one child to care for it’s easy to manage, but when you have two under two, it’s chaos and madness and trying to find time for yourself, you never get it, so when you’re working around sleep times too, Luca was on one sleep and then Vallie was on two sleeps, I was literally housebound,” Renee said. “That’s when I bought myself a treadmill, I thought that’s alright, if they want to do their sleep routines I’ll run on the treadmill. That’s where I started, I was too embarrassed to run outside, I didn’t want anyone to see me in activewear or anything like that so I just bought a treadmill and started to run three kilometres.” Renee eventually pushed herself outside of her comfort zone and teamed up with a running coach. With her confidence developing and budding love for running, Renee started a group text with some of her girlfriends who were keen to meet up and run. As the group began to expand, Renee set up an Instagram account and named it Sole Sisters Run Club. Renee said her main aim with the club was to provide an inclusive space for all women, of all abilities, to get together and enjoy running. “For me, I see all these run clubs about and their social media is filled with young people who have six packs and are getting these ridiculous times and they’re racing to get podiums,” she said. “I wanted to make an inclusive environment and then it just grew and grew, to Brisbane, to Gold Coast and South Australia and now we’ve just started one out in the Hinterland so that the girls who love running trails can run trails each week.” Sole Sisters Run Club organises weekly runs, with some women attending the runs with the group and others joining remotely from wherever they are based. “I would say all of our clubs together, there would probably be over 300 girls. Some girls run not where our club is, but they’ll share their runs on social media and tag us, wear the shirts.

We have a support system. We feel safe when we’re running, we never feel alone, it’s a bit of accountability too. You send a message or put something on social media about going for a run tomorrow at 5am in the dark, and you have 20 girls turn up who want to run 20kms with you. It’s exciting, it’s great.” Completing the Runaway Noosa Marathon on Saturday 28 May is another stepping stone along Renee’s path toward a happy, healthy life. “Just grateful really.

Talking Sport Ron Lane

Great game despite mud After days of continual and sometimes heavy rain on the football grounds at Noosa’s Pirate Park, it was only to be expected that the Saturday games against the visiting teams from Kawana and Pomona/Cooran, would be nothing but a slug fest with plenty of dropped balls and players sliding over in the mud patches. But it was, in fact, the opposite. The A grade game between host club Pirates and the visiting Kawana was well above the standard that one has come to expect under such conditions with water puddles, mud patches and continual rain. The first 10 minutes the game started slowly but the players quickly settled down, accepted the situation, and the game started to open up. In the 17th minute following some tight play from Kawana, they scored from a grubber kick wide of the post. The kick was missed Kawana 4 Pirates nil. From then on it was a tight game and with both teams ignoring the conditions, they started to move the ball which resulted in some wide sweeping runs from both teams. Kawana was showing plenty of speed out wide but good cover defence by Pirates kept them out. Pirates forward pack started to combine and some good centre field play had them hammering the opposition line. But as with the Pirates, Kawana’s 10-yard line defence kept the Pirates scoreless. Half time saw the score 4-0 Kawana. However, in the fifth minute with Pirates forwards attacking up the centre, they took the game to the oppositions 10-yard line, and with a strong barging run, Pirate Matt Tickle scored near the post. Try converted, Pirates took the score to 6-4. Kawana then hit back with a quick converted try to make it 10-6 Kawana. Pirates scored with a try that came from a wide sweeping run. This was converted giving them a 12-10 lead. At this stage, Pirates forwards began to dominate ball possession and with their backs running good support, their ball handling resulted in two quick tries, one converted, gave -Pirates a 22-10 lead. Their front row continued to hold possession and again their centre field running, and good quick ball clearance from the ruck to their supporting backs resulted in another converted try, giving the host club a 28-10 lead. But Kawana showed plenty heart by hitting back and running wide to score twice with their second on the full time bell. Final score gave Noosa Pirates a well-deserved 28-22 win. Considering the wet conditions with a heavy muddy field and continues rain, it was a much better game than was expected. The ball control by both sides was good and the willingness to run the ball wide resulted in a good game. However, Noosa’s forward pack dominated ball possession and the backs being prepared to move the ball, it was their day. Possession in the second half was the key factor. In the lower grades, it was Kawana’s day winning the Division 2, the U/18, and also the women’s. Next week it will be an away game for Pirates when they play Caboolture in the A grade, Reserve and Women at Caboolture the C grade will play Beerwah. Boxing This weekend at the Acacia Ridge Hotel Brisbane, a three-day tournament will be held as the first pathway for selection to represent Australia in the World Youth Boxing Championships, to be held in Spain in August. A team of four fighters from Team Impact Boxing Club Cooroy will be competing. Speaking with Mark Evans head coach of the Impact team he said, ‘’This is the first step in selection for the Australian team for Spain. If they win on the weekend they go to Melbourne for the finals, and if they win their division, it will open the door to Spain. “Going on past performances, Paige Robinson, who will be fighting in the 60kg division, is definitely a good prospect.”

Wet and muddy for the women as well. Little Athletics Present conditions make track and field training somewhat difficult. Head coach Mick Hooper said: ‘’Now we have some 25 club members in training and when the grass is too wet “ we have to move on to the cycling track. Our aim for now is the North Queensland titles to be held in Townsville in September. This will be a three-day carnival and we expect to be sending a team of twelve athletes from age 12 to the opens.” Following this will be the State Schools Championships in October in Brisbane. Primary schools will be run over Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. For the high schools their events will be contested from Thursday through to Sunday. All will be under the supervision of three club coaches. Pickleball The recent Noosa Classic Pickleball Doubles Tournament saw some good results for the members of the Noosa club. With players coming from all over the state the standard was very high. In the Open Men’s Division Paul Albano and Ryan Gunthorpe won the bronze medal and in the Ladies Glenice Ault and Sally Buckley also won bronze. The Over 55 Intermediate Advanced Men’s saw Noosa scoop the pool when Ron Ratliff and Mark Lathan-Callcott won gold, Ken Solomons and Gary Pettersen won silver and Woody Dass and Vinh Truong won the bronze. The Under 55 Intermediate Advanced silver medal was won by Thomas Grudinskas and Danny Papo and the Under 55 Intermediate Michael Heath and Dane Jennings also won silver. Over 65 Intermediate the bronze medal was won by Fred Litchfield and Vince Lofaro. The Ladies came home with five medals. Intermediate 55 and under, the silver medal was won by Catherine L’Huillier and Ashleigh Finzel. Other silver medals were won by Margot Tredinnick and Debbie Lockwood in the 65 Plus,and in the Intermediate Advanced Lisa Murane and Sue Mac also won the silver. Jackie Kearney and Kate Rorrison won the bronze. To see these members from all age groups not only competing against visitors from outside clubs, but also winning medals, tells us that the standard of play is well above the average. This can only help to consolidate the club and above all, regardless of age encourage others to join and enjoy the sport.

Bali’s Rizal Tandjung’s barrel gets the approval of the pack.

Tour is back to the jungle It’s hard to believe that it’s 25 years since surfing’s world tour last made a stop at Grajagan, the wild and beautiful peninsula on the south east tip of Java, better known to surfers around the world as G-Land. One of the world’s best left-hand point breaks, G-Land spins down a shallow coral reef along such take-off spots as Kong’s, Money Trees and Speedies. It’s a goofy footer’s dream, but it can also be a nightmare of festering reef cuts, missed boats, prowling tigers and dwindling supplies of food (or worse, beer) in the camp kitchens. In 1994 a group of Aussie pro surfers almost drowned when a tsunami swept through their huts at Bobby’s Camp but, generally speaking, the inconveniences of being on the edge of nowhere were less extreme. Certainly that was the view that the Quiksilver surf company took in 1994 when the ASP World Tour floated the idea of a “dream tour”, taking in the world’s best wave locations, wherever they happened to be. Quiksilver’s international marketing manager Bruce Raymond decided to go all the way and take the Quiksilver Pro to G-Land in 1995. The huge costs of creating infrastructure such as judging towers at the edge of the jungle would be offset by daily TV feeds around the world of the best surfers riding big, perfect, dangerous waves. But no one had any idea of the logistical nightmare that would become. I wrote at the time: “The most important element of the TV coverage was the Mosquito Express. On each day of the event a videotaped highlights package destined for sports desks around the world would be ferried across the reef on an ancient prahu, powered by a sputtering outboard, to the village of Grajagan, where a kamikaze motorcycle courier would take delivery and race for several hours to Denpasar airport (via the ferry across the strait) and the first available flight to Singapore and from there to Heathrow, where it would be taxied to the British Telecom Tower in London, where it would be beamed out by satellite.” Despite all of this, the G-Land Pro (won by Kelly Slater that first year) was deemed a huge success, and it would run for two more years. I was there for the 1997 event on just my second visit to the camp. The surf and the hospitality were incredible, and the media coverage had become more refined, but that turned out to be the last Quiksilver Pro G-Land until the one that starts tomorrow. The ‘90s version fell victim to the times, with political unrest overtaking Indonesia in 50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 May, 2022

The younger author, living the life of brine. 1998 with the toppling of President Suharto and the Asian financial crisis. The 2022 model is sure to be far more sophisticated and less of a boy’s own adventure, with a Roxy women’s division being added, but apparently it hasn’t moved too far forward when it comes to environmental sensibilities, with a tower built over a thriving reef habitat again and a wide all-weather road being pushed through the national park. Maybe a satellite link will have replaced the Mosquito Express too, and I’ll be able to watch from the comfort of Munna Point. Longboard tour kicks off I was hoping to bring you bring you a wrap-up of the first of the three legs of the WSL longboard tour this week, but it seems likely that there won’t be a result from the Manly contest site before deadline. What I can tell you, however, is that Noosa’s Harrison Roach (resplendent in white hair) was on fire in small but good quality conditions through the early rounds, and managed to make it to the semi-finals before the event was placed on hold to make way for the shortboard Challenger Series. When surfing resumes in possibly difficult conditions, he’ll be up against hot local Declan Wyton, so local knowledge could well be a factor. However, Harrison, ranked number two in the world for 2020-21, but the top seed because reigning world champion Joel Tudor is under suspension, is off to a flyer with at least a third at Manly. The tour’s next stops will both be in California, with events at Huntington and Malibu.

In the women’s division, Noosa’s Kirra Molnar, who scored a wildcard after winning a trials event in Port Stephens, surfed well through the early rounds but unfortunately went down to high-ranked Brazilian Chloe Calmon in the

round of 16. Our adopted local, Hawaii’s Mason Schremmer, bowed out to Aussie Tully White in the quarters. Well surfed, ladies.

LOOKING FOR THAT ENDLESS SUMMER PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY A LITTLE out of the ordinary is a super chic house at Sunrise, that brings with it reminiscences of endless summers at the beach. With hints of Palm Springs style and mid-century modernism, it has a lot of things going for it, according to Tiffany Wilson of Tom Offermann Real Estate. Set for auction at 2pm on Saturday, June 4, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool and two-car garaging is in an exceptional location, close to the sand and surf of Sunrise Beach. The style and floor plan options set it apart, with living spaces that connect smoothly between indoors and out. Off the open-plan living/dining area with concrete-look flooring is a sun-drenched pool with Moroccan tiles in shades of bright blue, turquoise and white. There is a climate-controlled wine cellar and multi-purpose office or perhaps a guest living area. Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom riverside penthouse apartment at 9/279 Weyba Rd, Noosaville, is set for auction Saturday, May 28, at 11am. 280716

A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 3 Paluma St, Sunrise Beach, is set for auction at 2pm on Saturday, June 4. 280716 There are two main bedroom suites - one downstairs with two queen-size bedrooms and bathroom. The upstairs bedroom suite has a gas-lift window opening to an undercover terrace. Hinterland views and sunsets can be admired from bed, the free-standing bathtub or the shower. There has been a broad response, Tiffany said, in age groups as well as from different areas. “Interstate and local, families, people upsizing, downsizing or improving their position - they are all considering it.’’ RIGHT ON COURSE Midway along the first hole at Noosa Springs Golf Club is unit 828, one of The Fairways apartments at the Noosa Heads resort. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car golf apartment 828/100 Resort Dve, is scheduled for auction at 11am on Saturday, June 4. Jill Goode at Tom Offermann Real Estate is getting a lot of interest in the

property, especially from Brisbane and within the Noosa Springs resort as well as neighbouring residential areas. “It’s a really lovely apartment,’’ Jill said. “It has so much air-flow and greenery.’’ All on one level, this apartment’s front balcony looks out to the green and bunkers, as well as a grouping of shade trees. The two bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms are nicely separated from each other and there is another sunny terrace at the opposite end. A central kitchen is open to the living room at one end and the dining area at the other. All furnishings are included and this unit can be holiday let by the Noosa Springs management, permanently let or kept just for personal use. Ownership in The Fairways gives automatic use of the heated lap pool in the complex, and unlimited use of the wellequipped gymnasium and its many classes.

RIVERFRONT WITH OPTIONS Set for auction tomorrow, Saturday, is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom riverfront apartment at 4/235 Gympie Tce, Noosaville. Marketed by Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate, it is in Riverside - a set of eight boutique apartments. Scheduled for auction at 11am on Saturday, the top-floor apartment is considered a good entry-point to the Gympie Tce market. “It’s a beauty,’’ Melanie said. “Perhaps the cheapest three-bedroom apartment on the riverfront. “There has been a real cross-section of interest - local and Brisbane, but the main source has been locals downsizing. “There are fantastic options - live in, holiday let or permanently rent out.’’ In the north-east corner of the complex, it enjoys great views across the river and up the western reach that gives those magnificent sunsets.

From the residence’s forecourt with distinctive water feature, step inside, and be instantly besotted by over-generous dining and living spaces with raked ceilings, fireplace, and bright light shadow dancing over the travertine flooring, and glass sliders on the northern side which seemingly disappear to completely coalesce with the massive terrace and entertainer’s paradise. Complementing the intelligent design and size of the residence is the custom galley kitchen with rust-hued granite benchtops, super-size island, butler’s pantry, statement pendants and a wealth of high-end appliances.
