Two Noosa volunteers, Lenore Grice and Helen Park are among 119 Queenslanders who have been named in the 2022 Queen’s Birthday Honours List – acknowledged for their outstanding service and inspiring achievements - Lenore for her service to surf lifesaving and Helen for her service to water polo.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk congratulated the recipients, saying following Her Majesty The Queen’s historic Platinum Jubilee last week, earning a place on this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List would no doubt hold extra significance.

Lenore Grice Lenore Grice welcomed her OAM with a mix of excitement, pride, humility and gratitude to the Surf Life Saving organisation.

“I’m grateful for (them) for trusting me to mentor the youth and for all the support you get,” she said.

“You don’t get awards as an individual.

“You never join to get the accolades. These people become your family and I’ve loved every minute of it.”

Heritage push on

By Phil Jarratt

12497020-DL22-21

After a decade in the wilderness (excuse the pun), World Heritage re-nomination for the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park is very likely to be back on the negotiating table in coming months.

The change of government at last month’s federal election means that for the first time since Campbell Newman’s 2012 election as Queensland Premier, the prospect of Queensland and the nation working together on this issue seems more likely, according to local conservationists.

Back in the early 2000s, the federal and state governments were working together for World Heritage re-nomination of Cooloola, supported by Noosa Council and Noosa community groups including Tourism Noosa, Noosa Bio-

sphere Limited, and Noosa Parks Association.

But in 2012 the Newman government backed away from a well-advanced joint Federal-State government nomination, saying the Feds could go it alone if they chose to.

When Tony Abbott led the Coalition to power in 2013, lacking a champion at either the Federal or State level, the re-nomination process went into hibernation.

While the boundaries of the proposed extension are likely to be much the same as they were last time around in 2010, the case for World Heritage has several new elements, chief among them the Kabi Kabi Native Title over the area, expected to be finalised next April.

We’ll examine these in this article, but to understand what World Heritage means to

Noosa and to the broader Wide Bay region, you have to go back to the beginning.

When opposition to Fraser Island sand mining began to grow in the early 1970s, the CSIRO’s Division of Soils made the astute decision that the dune systems of Fraser and Cooloola needed to be better understood in order to prosecute a case for protecting them.

According to the late John Sinclair, founder of the Fraser Island Defenders Organisation (FIDO), CSIRO established a team “to examine the dune systems of South East Queensland through the most detailed study ever undertaken”.

Due to budget limitations their testing was confined to Cooloola, and it was on the basis of that research that Fraser Island eventually received World Heritage status although none of

the work was tested there. It was only inferred.

So Cooloola’s credentials for World Heritage re-nomination were scientifically established half a century ago, and more recent studies have proven that its World Heritage values are even higher than K’gari/Fraser Island’s.

Noosa conservationists were involved in the Cooloola research from the very beginning, when the leader of the CSIRO team, Cliff Thompson selected Cooloola partly on the basis of the detailed botanical studies carried out by Dr Arthur Harrold, co-founder of the Noosa Parks Association and the leader of a campaign to protect Cooloola from sand mining and pine plantations. Dr Harrold and NPA would remain committed to Cooloola’s preservation right through the World Heritage campaign and beyond.

Noosa Council is set to spend more than $1.2m for sand dredging and nourishment of Dog Beach to ensure Noosa’s spit remains intact to provide protection to Noosa Sound.

Since the artificial spit was created following the development of Noosa Sound, Council has tried various means to retain it.

After gaining State Government permission to conduct dredging and nourishment in April, council was given a small window of time until 30 September to complete the work before fish breeding season.

At its general meeting on Monday, councillors voted to go ahead with the works to build up the sand on the spit in order to avoid a breakthrough as well as dredging a realigned channel for use by recreational and commercial vessels.

Councillors heard the small time window

would prevent council undertaking the usual tender process.

The Noosa Spit Dredging and Beach Nourishment work has a project budget of $1,236,000 which includes a $990,000 allowance for the required dredging and nourishment works.

“It is a protection for the Sound. I’d like to get on to it as quickly as possible,“ Cr Frank Wilkie said.

Cr Joe Jurisevic said the challenge for management of the area was that it wasn’t a natural formation.

The spit was put in the river mouth. There’s no other way than human intervention to dredge or nourish as required, he said.

“It’s a legacy we’re left with.“ A final decision on the project would be made at council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday.

This week we say farewell to our top cop Ben Carroll and wish him well in his new position as a police inspector in Rockhampton.

It’s been a honour to work with Ben for the past five years since he arrived in Noosa as the officer in charge.

Looking back over that time, it has been astounding to see how much has happened in Noosa.

There have been exceptional fires, floods and the Covid pandemic that have all greatly impacted the community.

In terms of police operations there has been major drug crime, rising domestic violence cases and youth crime, mostly conducted by youths from outside the area, and much more.

We’ve had major events including a one-off Schoolies that brought about 5000 teenagers to Main Beach for a week-long party.

Each of these occurrences required great effort on the part of our police.

Most of the time we take our police for granted but we expect them to always be there when we need them. And they are.

The steps they take to ensure our safety struck me this week when Ben recalled the recent floods.

Police fielded about 300 emergency calls, directing them to SES, QAS, QFES or who best could help at the time.

Later they phoned back each of the 300 to make sure they were OK. We really should be proud of our police.

World Heritage push again From page 1 The World Cultural and Natural Heritage Convention was adopted by UNESCO in 1972 and ratified by 20 countries in 1975, including Australia. That year, with the full support of Gough Whitlam’s Labor government, and before the Cooloola studies had been advanced or the World Heritage Treaty had become operative, the Australian Conservation Foundation proposed that the Great Sandy Region, including Fraser Island and Cooloola and the marine areas surrounding them, be included on the World Heritage List.

According to John Sinclair’s FIDO Backgrounder newsletter of 2013, the controversy over Fraser Island sand mining resulted in entrenched opposition to the proposal from Queensland’s Bjelke-Petersen government, but the ACF funded the preparation of a World Heritage nomination for the region that was written in 1984 by Sinclair himself and Lee Hemmings.

“This showed that the region met all four of the natural criteria for World Heritage when it only had to meet just one. The study was rejected by Bjelke-Petersen who said that he would not support ‘one more inch of Queensland’ becoming World Heritage (after the Great Barrier Reef). That stalled the proposal until there was a change of government in Queensland in 1989,” Mr Sinclair wrote.

“The new Goss Labor Government brought a change in Queensland’s position on World Heritage, and in 1990 Tony Fitzgerald QC was commissioned to examine the merits of the Great Sandy Region to determine whether a World Heritage nomination should proceed for any or all of the region. The Fitzgerald Commission of Inquiry found that the whole region qualified.

“Both the Australian and Queensland Governments agreed to proceed with the nomination and this was prepared and submitted by December 1991.”

In 1992 Dr James Thorsell was commissioned by the technical advisors to the World Heritage Committee to examine the merits of the Great Sandy Region nomination.

“Queensland’s Department of Environment and Heritage made many fundamental blunders in organizing his Great Sandy Region field inspections,” Mr Sinclair said.

“They failed to allow him to meet with many people who strongly supported the inclusion of Cooloola … Instead [he] met with only people opposed to including Cooloola, particularly the Noosa North Shore part.”

After subsequent discussions between Dr Thorsell and Queensland and Federal bureaucrats, the World Heritage nomination was reduced to Fraser Island and the Cooloola National Park only.

But it still wasn’t over.

The Federal Government again revised the nomination without consultation, and when the nomination was considered by the World Heritage Committee in December 1992, only Fraser Island was inscribed.

The one consolation offered to the conservation lobby was that the inclusion of Cooloola would be reconsidered “at another time”.

Noosa Parks Association’s Michael Gloster.

As we rolled into a new century there was compelling new evidence for Cooloola’s renomination, but the rules had changed, both in Australia and at UNESCO. In Australia it had been decided that there could be only one nomination per year and that it must come from the National Heritage List, while the World Heritage Committee had also slowed down its processes.

But by 2010 the Queensland government was committed and then Environment Minister Kate Jones had released a discussion paper and called for comments on the boundaries.

The re-nomination was actually being drafted when Campbell Newman led the LNP to power in 2012.

After nearly a decade of waiting for the right circumstances to recommence the re-nomination process, national, state and Noosa conservationists are more than ready to take up the good fight, and locally, the Noosa Parks Association will be in the thick of it again.

But this time around, there will be some additional dynamics at play.

NPA’s veteran campaigner (and current

Picture: ROB MACCOLL vice-president) Michael Gloster has been tasked with preparing the campaign on behalf of the NPA leadership group.

“The historic opportunity facing the Noosa community is to build on the solid foundation created a decade ago by the Feds, the State, Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa and NPA, and take the Cooloola World Heritage re-nomination process to the next level” Mr Gloster told Noosa Today.

“A decade ago, the Noosa community was, in the main, supportive of the re-nomination.

There were only a few dissenting voices.

“Since then there has been considerable population churn, with a large number of people leaving, and more arriving. Those remaining are likely to, in the main, continue to support the re-nomination. “[But] it’s going to interesting to see if those who have chosen to call Noosa home over the past decade support it or oppose it. They are well educated and astute lifestyle investors who love what Noosa has to offer.

“It will be interesting to see if they judge that a World Heritage-listed Cooloola National

Park will enrich or erode their lifestyle investment. And it will be interesting to see if those favouring it are willing to get involved in making it happen, just as residents since the 1960s got involved in the struggle to have Cooloola National Park created, then progressively extended.”

Mr Gloster also pondered the extent to which the whole Noosa community, regardless of length of residence, treated the Cooloola renomination process as “a practical means of reconciliation with the Noosa-Cooloola’s region’s Traditional Owners, the Kabi Kabi First Nations peoples.

“Their consent will be a prerequisite for any re-nomination. Will the Noosa community be supportive of the Kabi Kabi peoples’ aspiration for the future of Cooloola National Park, including their aspiration to progressively comanage it with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service?”

“The Cooloola World Heritage re-nomination process is going to provide a once-ina-generation opportunity for contemporary Noosa to learn more about what it values, the type of future it is willing to work for.”

From page 1 It was 50 years ago this October when Lenore Grice was introduced to Noosa SLSQ by a work colleague who had entered the Surf Girl Quest and asked her for help to fundraise.

From that first weekend in 1972 and then a single mother with a one-year-old son, Luke, Lenore signed on to volunteer, travelling from Brisbane to Noosa Heads where until 1996 she “did the raffles” on a Friday night. She also ran the chook raffle at The Reef hotel during Sunday sessions.

“I worked for the PMG in the telegram section. It was a fantastic job,” she said.

“We did weather reports, flood warnings, sports reports, media releases from politicians.

We did announcements of births, deaths, engagements and weddings. We followed quite a few romances through with the ‘I love you telegrams’.

“We worked shift work. I worked 7am to 3pm Friday and then I did a 2pm-10pm on Monday, so I wouldn’t have to leave for work until mid-morning.

“The surf club was hard to beat. When you have a marriage breakdown and a young baby, I thought my life was falling apart.

“It gave me confidence. It gave me a life and many life-long friends.

“It would have been so different if I hadn’t been introduced to the club.

“We had a fantastic life. Luke had a lot of male role models who were good to him.

“Surf lifesaving has been very good to me, that’s why I keep giving back.”

Lenore was so dedicated to Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club that it didn’t faze her when she began that women were excluded from the club.

When Lenore first arrived in Noosa, there were 10 active members of the club, and females were not admitted.

“You could go to the upstairs bar, called the supporters club, but you weren’t allowed downstairs in the active side of lifesaving.

“I was there with a one-year-old baby with the women whose husbands were doing patrols, and we would have to wait outside in the hot sun.”

Noosa was more progressive than most clubs, allowing women into the club in the late ‘70s, and, in 1987, electing Lenore as honorary secretary, a position she held until 1989, and then again from 1995 to 1997.

In 1980 Lenore began training members in first aid for the skills it contributed, to provide an activity for those not interested in more athletic pursuits of surf sports and for competition.

She became Noosa Heads first aid competition coach for the years 1984-97, 2007-09 and 2015-20.

In 1986, the Noosa Heads first aid team won a gold medal in the Australian Championships. It was the first Australian gold medal for the club in its history.

Lenore also took on the roles of first aid coach for Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club from 1998-2020 and Surf Life Saving Australia

Water polo queen honour It seems only fitting that in the week of the Jubilee celebrations for the Queen’s Birthday, that Noosa’s very own queen of water polo Helen Park has made the 2022 Honours list and is a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her services to water polo.

“That’s a real honour. I’m very surprised,“ the very humble Helen said after learning of her award.

“I’ve heard of a lot of athletes getting OAMs. I didn’t realise they gave them to volunteers.“ The Australian honours system celebrates the outstanding achievements and contributions of extraordinary Australians in a diverse range of fields and areas of endeavour. It’s about recognising those people in the community whose service and contributions have had the effect of making a significant difference to Australian life or, more broadly, to humanity at large.

Helen has worked with children all her life, firstly as a primary school teacher and, when her kids developed an interest sport, she volunteered, from rugby league football to Cooroy Gymnastics to the Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club, eventually ending up in a sport she loved and played as a kid - water polo.

While a teacher at Sunshine Beach State School, Helen began volunteering as a coach with the school’s water polo players and as they began to excel she encouraged them along their path.

“I enjoyed being involved with them and wanted to take them to the international stage,“ she said.

“I have a bit of a passion for kids doing sport,“ she said.

“I think it helps them if they’re involved in team sports.“ Helen has taken her young athletes to competitions across the world including Europe, England, Singapore and New Zealand and many have gone on to represent Australia at the Olympics.

Helen Park as she is most recognised - at the side of the pool quietly encouraging and guiding water polo players.

“It’s just nice to see the kids grow and develop,“ she said.

She has nurtured and coached thousands of players throughout her years of service to water polo and continues to volunteer her time coaching juniors at the Noosa Aquatic Centre and mentoring young coaches of the future.

Helen has been instrumental in building regional water polo on the Sunshine Coast with nearly three decades of volunteering.

In 2014, Helen was presented the Service Award by School Sport Australia and was a part of the original Sunshine Coast School Sports Committee that instigated a now thriving

school water polo competition.

In addition to this is her long resume of coaching and managing teams at club, school, regional, state, national and international level of competitions - upwards of 200 teams and thousands of junior athletes.

Helen has held various committee and convenor roles for water polo including a long reign as Sunshine Coast School Water Polo President, Noosa Water Polo President, Sunshine Coast Treasurer and Secretary. She has been secretary of Water Polo Queensland, manager of U20 women’s national water polo team and represented Water Polo Australia at

The Noosa Water Polo committee praised Helen Park, saying they felt privileged to have her as a former president and club member.

“She is such a humble, ‘get the job done’ kind of lady,“ they said.

“Her dedication to kid’s sport is outstanding and she is simply one of the nicest humans you’ll meet.

“Helen is not only adored by our club, but by our regional, state and national organisations. Water polo is richer for volunteers like Helen, and we are thrilled that she has been given deserved recognition.“

CEO’s roadmap for future Noosa Council chief executive officer Scott Waters has tabled a detailed roadmap for change to councillors, focussing on delivering a sustainable, customer-centric, agile organisation to serve the community.

The comprehensive report, to be formally endorsed at Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting, contains 64 recommendations from a review of 17 specific areas.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the health check of the organisation was needed to improve efficiencies and get the best possible outcomes for the community.

“This is something I flagged last year, so it’s pleasing to see our new CEO has taken the opportunity to deep dive into our organisation in the short time he’s been here to provide us with such valuable feedback and a roadmap to ensure that Council and our community go from strength to strength.”

Cr Stewart said the consistent theme across the organisation was to improve and invest in the relationship with our community.

At Monday’s General Committee, councillors unanimously approved a councillor-executive team workshop be held to collaboratively develop a change management program to drive the organisational renewal.

In his first 100 days, the CEO collaborated with the Mayor, senior executive team and met with staff and external stakeholders to better understand the past and map out a plan for the future of council.

Mr Waters said it was important to recognise the work of the previous administration, but to modernise the organisation to realise operational efficiencies.

“Different by Nature is the cornerstone of this council and that will remain through innovation and collaboration with the single goal of delivering quality service to the community,” he said.

“What we are calling Noosa Project 2.0 is the start of a change management program.

Noosa Council CEO Scott Waters.

“It will focus primarily on culture, internal and external service delivery, provide a more consistent strategic direction and improve engagement with the community,” he said.

Key recommendations included reviewing all policies during each term of council, completing an audit on all council assets, conduct-

ing a high performing culture survey with staff and renewing the Customer Service Charter.

Mr Waters said a structural realignment would be considered to create higher operational performance, accountability and improved outcomes to the community.

“Staff are faced with significant workloads

and we need to review how we operate and what resources are needed to create a customer-centric focus to what we deliver,” he said.

Cr Stewart viewed the report and its recommendations as a once in a generation opportunity to reshape organisational performance.

“Our staff do an exceptional job in an environment where there are high expectations from the community.

“So it’s important we provide the necessary equipment, processes and workplace where, as an organisation, we get the best possible outcomes for the community,’ Cr Stewart said.

Mr Waters told council the report had been compiled to respect the legacy of Council while identifying constructive improvements to deliver an innovative and agile council.

“We have a very committed workforce that goes above and beyond with limited resources.

“This is a two to three year plan and recommendations will be prioritised and workshopped, in some cases with the community, to ensure we create a structure that enhances organisational collaboration, communication and performance improvement,” Mr Waters said.

Cr Stewart said since de-amalgamation a continued commitment to limit rate rises below CPI had had impacts on a range of areas.

“There has been significant under-investment in long term assets such as roads and facilities, so this is an opportunity to pause and realign our focus to better deliver essential services to the community,” she said.

Mr Waters said while some aspects of the report remained confidential due to their sensitive nature relating to staff remuneration, the plan was to provide quarterly progress reports to council meetings to keep the community informed.

A summary of the incoming CEO Report will be provided to the community after the Ordinary Meeting and made available on council’s website.

Creek diversion go ahead

By Margie Maccoll

Google Earth image showing the mouth of Burgess Creek prior to its redirection.

Mr Waters said with the weather starting to settle and westerly winds providing natural sand replenishment, council staff were securing the necessary equipment to undertake the standard redirection of the creek and build up the batters at the mouth as best as possible.

Mr Waters said council’s proposed actions had been discussed with members of the Eastern Beaches Progress Association and, while Unitywater was responsible for the treated effluent that flows into the creek from the Noosa Sewage Treatment Plant, samples taken

by Council’s Environmental health officers, showed the water quality within the creek system were within acceptable levels.

“The discolouration of the creek flow is as a

result of the inflows from the catchment wetland system and are naturally occurring tannins,” he said.

“Our advice is that the discolouration will continue until the inflow from the catchments begin to normalise, which we have been told could be many months away.”

Unitywater executive manager customer delivery Rhett Duncan said Unitywater’s Noosa Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) treated sewage from the broader Noosa community and released treated effluent to Burgess Creek, 3km upstream of the creek mouth.

“The effluent is of a very high standard and is Class A recycled water. It is completely safe to return to our waterways and this process is

“When effluent is released from the STP 3km upstream of the creek mouth, it is safe for direct contact and poses no safety concerns.

However, we know that other sources flow into the creek downstream of the STP, including old landfills, nightsoil trenches and stormwater run-off and we encourage the community to make their own decisions based on this and the signage that is in place.

“We would like to reassure the community that all of Unitywater’s operations, including where our outfalls are, are strictly monitored and approved by DES.” Council has provided a detailed summary of the work at Burgess Creek on its website.

Noosa Council will take action to redirect the flow of Burgess Creek at its mouth at Sunrise Beach after residents raised concerns the changed path was eroding sand dunes back to about 70m from David Low Way and forcing people to walk across potentially contaminated water.

Noosa chief executive officer Scott Waters said Council’s infrastructure and environment teams would shortly start remediation work at the mouth of Burgess Creek, which had been delayed as council staff prioritised flood-damage emergent work.

Sunrise Beach resident Bruce Stitz, who was one of a number of residents to raise the alarm, said he understood council staff had been busy with flood affected areas but anticipated the work would take just a few hours with a grader to rectify.

The long term resident said the erosion created by the changed course and its possible impact on David Low Way, if not addressed, was of major concern to him, as well as its impact on the environment.

“Many tonnes of sand have been eroded from the frontal dunes near the new mouth, far more than occurred during the heavy seas we experienced in the last few months,” he said.

Bruce, who is a regular beach goer with his dog, said he now avoided Entrance 38.

“Any beachgoer using Entrance 38 has no choice but to cross the waters of this creek whether going north or south along the beach,” he said.

“Council signs warn that this creek is not for swimming and its waters are not for human consumption.

“Surely this has the real possibility of having a detrimental outcome for the people who have no choice but to wade through this creek.”

Stroke survivor dances on

By Abbey Cannan After suffering a stroke a month before his wedding, a Cooroy father has learnt to walk again just in time for the first dance with the love of his life.

Kerese Amato-Ali spent his 30th birthday in hospital, and woke up with no memory of the unexpected brain bleed that left him in a coma for the days following Tuesday 15 March.

By his side the whole time was his bride-tobe Jessica Bell, who now laughs about practising their first dance in the rehabilitation unit at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

“The physical therapists worked on the first dance with us, so all of the other patients in the rehabilitation unit had to put up with our first dance song playing on repeat,“ Jessica said.

In an unbelievable recovery, Kerese was out of his wheelchair and dancing into an emotional room full of his family and friends when he married Jessica on 29 April.

Guests would never have guessed it just a month prior when she found Kerese in bed with his eyes shaking, arm and leg flailing, as he began to lose all function.

“It was probably the longest 15 minutes of my life waiting for the ambulance,“ Jessica said.

“My best friend is a paramedic so I called her while we waited. She told me to lay him on his side, and when I did that he was vomiting and urinating everywhere.

“She kept saying to me to keep talking to him and so I would say, ’Kerese, can you see me? Can you talk to me?’ and he would open his eyes and make noise but he couldn’t actually speak.“ The paramedics met the LifeFlight helicopter at Eumundi where they flew him to Brisbane in an induced coma and breathing tube.

“Because of the Covid rules, I wasn’t allowed in the ambulance. I don’t even remember the helicopter landing. It never crossed my mind that I might not ever talk to him again,“ Jessica said.

She realised the severity of the situation when she saw the look on his dad’s face at the hospital, and when the doctor’s slowly brought Kerese out of the coma.

“I remember them asking him, ’So who are these two people?’ and it was me and his step mum, and he said that I was his sister and that she was his other sister as well,“ Jessica said.

“It was really heartbreaking.“ His memory slowly improved each day, and Kerese would utter the words ’I love you’ to Jessica through breathing tubes.

“It just got to a point where I woke up and looked at Jess and knew that it was her. I don’t know what it was or when it was but it just clicked. It felt good to start remembering things,“ Kerese said.

“In my head I thought I would reach the wedding date, but there were a lot of negative thoughts that went through my head. I just tried to stay positive because if you’re negative it could turn bad quite quickly.“ Jessica helped shower and feed Kerese every morning and night, as the right side of his body had no movement.

Kerese Amato-Ali in hospital after suffering a stroke, with his fiance Jessica Bell by his side.

Jessica and Kerese enjoy a moment together on their magical day.

Kerese and Jessica Amato-Ali celebrate their wedding day on 29 April.

Kerese reaches his goal of being able to do the first dance with his beautiful bride, Jessica.

“We had to leave during certain hours and I remember I walked back into the hospital at dinner time, and everyone else in the ward was feeding themselves with a knife and fork, while Kerese was eating his mashed potato and peas with his fingers because he couldn’t pick up the cutlery,“ Jess said.

The doctor couldn’t work out what caused the stroke, questioning the pre-workout brand Kerese would take before a gym session. Eventually, they said Kerese was just unlucky.

“But it does come down to high blood pressure,“ Jessica said.

“So just get your blood pressure checked and don’t overwork yourself.“ Reaching the wedding day was a dream

come true for the both of them.

“Words cannot express how grateful I am for Jess,“ Kerese said while holding back tears.

“I got the feeling that I surprised everyone at the wedding.“ Jessica added, “People who have strokes, you don’t usually see them make the recovery that Kerese has.“ “There’s still a lot of work to do, but we’re getting there.“ Kerese completed his intense rehab, and together the married couple now continue to make progress at Nambour Hospital’s community rehab.

As both Kerese and Jessica have been unable to work, a family friend set up a fundraiser

to help them cover costs of the recovery.

“I can’t believe the amount of people that have been so generous,“ Jessica said.

“Kerese would burst into tears when I showed him in the hospital. Even $20 is so much money to give to people that you don’t know.“ Kerese said his new goal was to get back to work and return to his normal life.

“I just want to say thank you to everyone that has shown their support,“ Kerese said.

Farewell salute to top cop

By Margie Maccoll

Inspector Ben Carroll farewells Noosa for Rockhampton. police,” he said.

“An emergency services staging area was established behind the Hastings Street Police Beat, housing a temporary medical facility and other support.

“Police were seizing alcohol from children as young as 13 years as they tried to enter the precinct.”

The exercise proved a success and they repeated it for New Year’s Eve celebrations in Hastings Street.

Police have seen a massive reduction in burglaries over the past 20 years, dropping about 90 per cent from more than 500 cases in 2001-02 to less than 60, something Insp Carroll attributes to a combination of factors including deterrents such as a strong police presence, security systems and cameras as well as improved security education and neighbourhood watch.

However, the drug trade has flourished.

“It was one of my concerns when I got here.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

I noticed a prevalence of cocaine,” he said.

Since October 2020, in an operation codenamed Sierra Stallion, Noosa Heads detectives have been sharing intelligence with Brisbane CIB resulting earlier this year in arrests of more than 25 people involving more than 250 charges including drug supply, trafficking and money laundering.

“The ongoing investigation into this group has revealed a sophisticated network of shopfront style businesses which were utilised to launder funds for drug supply activities,” he said.

Unfortunately, one issue to have worsened since Covid is domestic violence.

In the past two years police have investigated more than 500 domestic violence incidents, an increase of 20 per cent since 2019-20. This year there have been about 150 breaches of DV offences. It’s an issue “we’ve all got to work together on” to resolve.

“We are working hard to bring the numbers down but we can’t do it on our own,” he said.

“We will never police ourselves out of domestic violence.”

In his last week in the top job Inspector Carroll said his stay in Noosa had been “very enjoyable and very rewarding”.

“I’ve learnt a lot. I’ve met some nice people and formed wonderful relationships,” he said.

“I would like to publicly acknowledge and thank the uniformed officers, detectives and support staff at Noosa Heads Police Station and the adjoining stations across the Northern Patrol Group, for whom I have had the great honour of working with over the last few years.

“They are everyday people that joined the police from varying backgrounds, including IT specialists, mechanics, carpenters, engineers, nurses and hotel managers to name a few.

They are an extremely dedicated group of people who I think do an extraordinary job often under very challenging circumstances.

“I think our community should rightly be very proud of their police.”

Apply for short-stay approval now to save on application fees

Fee waiver ends June 30

A fee waiver has been in place since Noosa’s new Short-Stay Local Law took effect in February.

Noosa property owners have until June 30 to apply for short-stay letting and home-hosted accommodation approval without incurring application fees.

Fees are being set as part of Council's annual budget process and will take effect from July 1.

Under the local law, short-stay and home-hosted accommodation properties must be approved.

“Very busy” was how Inspector Ben Carroll, in his understated way, summed up his five years in Noosa’s top policing role, before leaving this week to take on a more senior role in Rockhampton.

When then Senior Sergeant Carroll left his previous posting, also in Rockhampton, bound for the Noosa tourist area, everyone said to him, “what a nice place”.

Since then he and his team have tackled extreme bush fires, floods, landslides, the Covid pandemic, Noosa’s biggest ever Schoolies event, rising domestic violence and organised drug crime.

“You have no idea the complications of this place,” he said.

When I first arrived we did a lot of work with Council and a lot of government and non-government organisations to relocate permanent residents from Johns Landing camp grounds (after it had been sold to Council) and find them places to live, he said.

Next came the 2019 bushfires that continued for four to five months across Peregian Beach, Cooroibah and Noosa North Shore. Police joined in a coordinated community effort that included other emergency services and governments, while separately tracking down the culprits behind the fires.

As fires approached, police drove down streets with loud hailers, knocked on doors, secured suburban streets and helped elderly people to leave their homes and head to evacuation centres set up by Noosa Council.

“A number of officers extinguished garden fires using garden hoses - ones that were too big they reported to the fire services,” he said at the time.

Covid hit the area in February 2020.

“Without a doubt that was the most challenging thing to happen,” Insp Carroll said.

“In the first week during lockdown, about 900 people in Noosa Heads and Noosa Junction alone lost their jobs. They had nothing.

It was lucky the government came up with a funding package.”

Police were tasked with enforcing Covid restrictions.

“We had to tell people they couldn’t sit on a park bench or sit on the beach,” Insp Carroll said.

“We had staff going everywhere - to the borders and to Indigenous communities. We were worried if it [Covid] got into the Indigenous communities, it would decimate them,” he said.

“Noosa became the destination of choice for Queenslanders because no-one (nationally or internationally) could come here. It was booming.”

In 2020 the Gold Coast closed its door to Schoolies and Noosa became the favoured place to be.

Police enlisted the help of Red Frogs for the first time as part of a multi-agency response including ambulance, Noosa Council and The Hastings Street Association.

“We put that together in about two weeks.

Agri-hub moves forward

By Margie Maccoll The Noosa Agri-Hub project sped up its momentum on the weekend with a symposium at Pomona that brought together a range of stakeholders to workshop solid actions toward its next step forward.

Led by Noosa councillor Tom Wegener and Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation chair Rowan Rafferty, the symposium was attended by a diverse group of people involved in food production from farmers, educators and researchers to processors, distributors and supply chain specialists.

Cr Wegener, who is president of Permaculture Noosa and council representative and a board member of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, has a vision for the region to establish by the 2032 Olympics a recognised Noosa brand of healthy, nutritious food.

The plan for a vibrant and productive, regenerative agriculture economy is based on research conducted by University of the Sunshine Coast professor Claudia Baldwin and contained in the Rural Enterprise Plan of 2019.

Cr Wegener told the group the symposium was the last day they would spend inside discussing the project.

“We have gone through the processes. We just need to roll up our sleeves and do it,“ he said.

“You will be the people who will make this happen,“ Rowan Rafferty told the group.

He said Prof Baldwin’s Rural Enterprise Plan was a lengthy report with a vast number of recommendations which would be put into action through discussion at the event’s workshops.

“This will be years before it comes to fruition but it will happen,“ he said.

The symposium began with short talks before the workshops were staged.

Among those giving them were Professor Baldwin who spoke about the importance of

The Noosa Agri-Hub symposium in Pomona. data collection, Jason Grant who spoke about the Barnes Lane project in Coolum and Nick Holliday who discussed a link between landholders and would-be farmers.

To create the Rural Enterprise Plan Prof Baldwin first surveyed local farmers in the shire involved in production, from raising cattle and growing coffee to producing herbal medicines and running farms for eco-tourism.

What stood out was that they wanted to collaborate, to share information, equipment and the use of land, she said. Also of interest was the number of new people who had moved to the area, the diversified use of land and the loss of the area’s diary farms.

Prof Baldwin said the importance of data

was in its use in decision making, government policy, in evaluating programs and in accessing funding.

“It needs to be accurate, complete, relevant, timely and consistent,“ she said.

Jason Grant told the symposium the Barnes Lane development in Coolum would provide local producers a place to market their wares. With a proposed produce hall for 40-50 market stalls the place would be geared toward giving tourists an opportunity to meet local growers.

Farmer and former president of Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance Nick Holliday spoke to the symposium about his farming practices using his own 8 hectare (20-acre)

farm and two 32 hectare (80-acre) farmers owned by other people.

Why farm other people’s land? he asked.

The price of land is beyond the point of doing it for the purpose of farming and many people who own 10-100 acres of land are doctors and lawyers who use them only for weekends, he said.

“It’s productive land not being used for farming,“ he said.

Nick said the unused land often became weed-infested and degraded and having other people farm it could increase the value of the property.

The key to the success of the arrangement lay in building a relationship and good communication, he said.

After the symposium Cr Wegener said several actions were determined to further the Agri-Hub’s establishment.

One initiative identified was the need to engage an officer whose role would be to get farmers on the land and improve degraded farms by connecting would-be farmers with landholders and supporting them through the process.

A second was to share ownership of the project with organisations such as Country Noosa, FAN or Young Farmers Connect by their adoption of aspects of the plan.

Another program comes from the farmers/ Agri-Hub goal to work with council to turn organic waste into soil, Cr Wegener said.

“We are currently working with double grind from the green waste bins. We are experimenting with different methods for turning it to super productive loam,“ he said.

“We will support council education programs to keep plastic and other unwanted materials out of these bins. We hope to apply for funding to pay for soil tests to find the best methods. What goes in the bin will be growing your produce.“

Has crypto lost the war?

By Phil Jarratt Late last spring, as the extended family enjoyed a leisurely weekend dodging hoons on the Teewah Beach speedway while attempting to catch a tailor or two, I took a break in the shade and engaged in conversation with my financial adviser, who is also a grandson.

“Get in now, Poppy,” he was saying, “It’s going through the roof!”

He was referring, of course, to cryptocurrency, in which he was having a fairly serious dabble for a 14-year-old playing the market on his pocket money, although all too soon his entire fund would be scammed.

But on that lovely October afternoon, back at the borrowed beach house I pulled out the Macbook and by nightfall Poppy had a sizeable portfolio of things with funny names that didn’t seem to bear any relation to anything real or tangible, but were almost certainly going to make me rich beyond my wildest dreams.

OK, drink had been taken – me, not my teenaged adviser – but I’m not going to blame that. It was fun, like an edgy game of Snakes and Ladders. And when it all started to go south a few weeks later, so much so that I stopped looking at my apps and still haven’t – it brought to mind another distant memory. Does anyone else remember the Airplane Game?

With a name like that it could have only come from one place, but by the late ‘80s it was everywhere.

It was a pyramid scheme, pure and simple, but if you asked any of the coke-crazed loonies who came knocking on your door at midnight trying to sell you a ticket for a couple of grand, it absolutely, positively wasn’t.

Interestingly, cocaine seemed to be a major driver in the scheme, presumably because people who were prepared to pay $200 to stay up all night grinding their teeth needed money

Involving a captain at the pointy end and co-pilots, cabin crew and passengers at descending levels, the game/scheme/scam paid out the captain when the plane filled, and everyone stepped up a level, but unless you bought in at or near the top you were never going to get your money back.

Its birthplace was the bayous of southern

Florida, but even those old swamp-dogs had picked up on it by 1987, as the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported: “In South Florida’s newest and hottest pyramid scheme, tickets cost $1500, and while the pilot stands to make $12,000, most of the passengers get taken for a ride. ‘It’s greed, big-time greed,’ said an undercover agent for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. ‘I don’t feel sorry for them a bit.

Pictures: SUPPLIED Nobody’s twisting their arms.’”

Of course, it was a simpler time – no smart phones, no internet – but greed is good was the motto for the times, much as it is in the 2020s.

Except we had a better understanding of what an airplane was, perhaps than we do a blockchain or a non-fungible token. And today boofheads with nose rings are sucking you in on social media, as opposed to midnight doorknockers.

Around the same time that my financial adviser was pitching me crypto on the beach, Noosa retiree Geoffrey Mallinson was firing off an angry letter to our Federal MP Llew O’Brien about “the greatest con in the history of mankind”.

Geoff didn’t hold back in calling out Bitcoin and all its acolytes for what he labelled “fraudulent acts”, and demanding that the federal government act “to ensure that the public not invest in these scams”.

Geoff Mallinson had to wait more than six months for a Ministerial response, and when it came last month from Jane Hume, the thenMinister for the Digital Economy, it was pretty lukewarm.

“The crypto-asset ecosystem [the what?] is complex and continually evolving. The Government and regulators continue to monitor developments … both in Australia and overseas, to ensure that risks are mitigated as appropriate while balancing potential benefits.

However, the Government does not intend to ban bitcoin or advise the public against investing.”

The Minister went to say how excited she was about the potential of blockchain technology across the economy, before reminding Geoff that, back in December, the Government had “committed to a range of measures to create a fit-for-purpose financial regulatory regime … [which] will provide appropriate protections for consumers and investors”.

This was last month. Did the Minister have no idea that the whole world was crying out, “The emperor’s got no clothes!”.

It was around this time that I crossed paths with Geoff Mallinson and found him to be a likeable bloke, if a little obsessive about stopping the “greatest fraud in history”.

But every day since our meeting in my office, the news on crypto has gotten worse.

Even its greatest media supporters are now conceding that we are witnessing the start of a virtual bloodbath from which only the biggest and strongest players, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, might emerge bruised and bloodied but still in business.

As of the start of this month, there were more than 19,000 cryptocurrencies on the

Social media sceptic Molly White. market and dozens of blockchains whose technology backs them up, but the recent collapse of the supposedly stable coins, Terra and Luna sent shockwaves through the market, has thrust a spotlight on the thousands of cryptocurrencies in existence and whether they will all survive.

The May crash was one of cryptocurrency’s biggest on record, sending the price of bitcoin plummeting to below $US27,000, dragging down the entire market and wiping out hundreds of billions of dollars in value overnight.

In one day alone, more than $400 billion was wiped off the market.

But why? Or more to the point, why now?

“As a result of sharply higher inflation and interest rates, the great unregulated cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme has finally started to un-

ravel,” the Australian Financial Review’s Christopher Joye wrote in the middle of May as the whole thing started to unravel.

He said it “beggars belief” that these financial products had been pushed on “naive consumers” with little regulatory protection in place, citing the Securities and Exchange Commission in the US, the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK and ASIC in Australia as “missing in action”.

When it comes to explaining the incredible popularity of crypto, Joye probably hit the nail on the head when he noted: “The key drivers of the crypto craze were interest rates on conventional cash going to zero during the pandemic, while at the same time governments poured trillions of dollars of cash into households’ savings accounts in an effort to stimulate greater

NEWS

spending, investment and speculation.”

Similar financial conditions applied, albeit on a much smaller scale, when the Airplane Game was reaching its flame-out.

At the end of May, consumer advocates Choice reported that one in nine Australians had bought cryptocurrencies in the past year, with that number expected to keep rising.

Half of them saw crypto as a long-term investment, rather than short term speculation, and two in five saw it as a diversification of their portfolio, their research revealed. This pointed to a serious and immediate need for better market regulation and consumer protection, Choice concluded.

Around the same time the ABC’s Four Corners delivered a damning global indictment on crypto through interviews with the world’s leading opponents, including New York lawyer David Scott, whose firm has launched a multimillion-dollar class action against a scheme that used major celebrities to promote a crypto token.

“It’s the wild west, because it is unregulated,” he said, “and because of that lack of regulation, there are many opportunities for people to lose their money. To our mind, as we alleged in our complaint, it appears to be a classic pump and dump scheme.”

Four Corners also interviewed 28-year-old American Molly White, who has emerged as the key player in attacking crypto across social media platforms.

As she told the Washington Post, “Most of my disdain is reserved for the big players who are marketing this to a mainstream audience as though it’s an investment, often promising to be a ticket out of a really tough financial spot for people who don’t have many options.

It’s very predatory”.

The Post described White as “a rare figure who can manoeuvre the technically complex, meme-filled world of crypto, translating it into digestible prose.”

At last, although maybe a little late, a “crypto bill” is set to be introduced in the US Congress this month with a strong regulatory framework over at least part of the market.

What our new Federal Labor government will do remains to be seen.

Forum on Cooloola plans Community groups, Protect Our Parks and Keep Cooloola Cool, are convening a public forum to help address public concerns arising from the State Government’s proposed development plans for Cooloola National Park.

Keep Cooloola Cool convenor Matt Noffke said the forum would present expert speakers on a range of issues.

He said the information was vital to understanding the extent of the National Park development program, its impacts and the means by which concerned citizens can act to avoid these impacts.

Mr Noffke said local community groups were providing this public information forum in response to the State Government’s failure to transparently engage with the public upon the detail and the implications of their development plans.

“These plans very deeply affect public conservation assets that Queenslanders hold very dear and precious,” he said.

“Yet we are all being told, ‘just move on, nothing to see here’. In fact there’s plenty to see here, and it’s not pretty.”

Forum organisers advise that the scheduled sessions cover a wide range of issues.

The event will begin with a Kabi Kabi smoking ceremony and also some words by Kabi Kabi people who say the assessment systems do not recognise them or their knowledge of land and culture.

Protect Our Parks convenor Greg Wood will provide a summary of the project background, the development details and an outline of how people can best express their concerns about it.

Wildlife Queensland president and co-author of the Queensland Nature Conservation Act (NCA) Peter Ogilvie will describe the vital function of The Cardinal Principle within the NCA and the way that this proposed development will act to destroy it.

Cooloola National Park.

The concept of eco-tourism and the capacity of on-park development to impact wildlife and wildness will be delivered by Ronda Green, a highly accredited wildlife expert and wildlife tour operator.

“The forum program will go beyond the very significant negative issues by also presenting a section on regenerative tourism,“ Mr Noffke said.

“This new and compelling discipline provides communities with the means to evaluate and secure development outcomes that are optimal for their needs, rather than enduring these needs being ignored and damaged by

remote planning and economic exploitation.”

This introductory session will be lead by Dianne Dredge, a partner at The Tourism CoLab and a key facilitator of community-driven redevelopment programs now underway within localities such as Mallacoota in Victoria and Flinders Island in the Bass Strait.

The forum will be held at Cooroy Memorial Hall on Saturday 2 July from 1-4.30pm. Forum organisers advise that seating is limited and request people register by emailing to protectparks@internode.on.net For more information visit protectparks. net/events

Proud Mary: a river story You farm on flood plain because it’s the best ground, it’s beautiful, fertile soil.

You expect it to flood, and probably every year there’ll be a couple of small ones, and maybe every six or seven years the water will come up gently onto the flat. You lose your fences and you get on with it. But you don’t expect this. – Mary Valley farmer GORDON MCWILLIAM, May 2022 Part 1: The headwaters by Phil Jarratt Gordon McWilliam is standing at the edge of a cliff where once was a dam, up in the wild back country of his beautiful 343 acres that stretches from the banks of the Mary River at Moy Pocket near Kenilworth.

When we talk, it is just two months since the unexpected happened.

The swollen river broke its banks and the floodwater roared across the alluvial plain, destroying everything in its path, including 500 laying hens.

A matter-of-fact man who is used to accepting the good with the bad in life on the land, McWilliam shakes his head gravely as he looks over the cliff at the wreckage of the highest of a series of spring-fed dams, that was to have provided sustenance for 150 head of beef cattle this winter.

“It’s going to cost over $100,000 to make this right, so hopefully there won’t be another one like it for a long time. If it gets to the point where you’re up for a hundred grand bill every couple of years, who’s going to farm? Who’s going to provide the food?,” he said.

“Not only is climate change bad for the reef, bad for tourism, but we won’t be able to eat!

“But I’m not walking away. It would take an army to get me out of here.”

Gordon McWilliam, whom we’ll meet again later in this series, embodies the spirit that I found all over the Mary Valley last month when I set out to track the course of the river and discover the realities of living in one of the most flood-prone parts of the country, and how the resilience of its European settlers has been fostered over more than 150 years.

Mary River Springs Along the Stanley River Road that follows the ridges of the Conondale Range out of Maleny, in the locality of Booroobin, you’ll find a striking laser-cut metal sign marking the entrance to a property. It reads: “Mary River Springs, Genesis of the Mary”. Beyond the homestead and farm buildings, the land falls away to spectacular views of the beginnings of the Mary Valley, and down the hillside are the “many small springs”, as described in early maps, that form the headwaters of the river.

Mary River Springs is now owned by Queensland grazier Simon Gedda, who, with wife Sue, has pioneered regenerative farming practices at his cattle property in central Queensland for more than 30 years.

Local conservationists are delighted that this historic, sensitive and slip-prone property is in such good hands, but since the owners were away, I couldn’t explore the springs myself.

Fortunately, Mary River Catchment Co-

ordinating Committee chair Ian Mackay had done just that a few weeks earlier.

“The top of the property has considerable remnant vegetation and the outlook, particularly to the north and west over the Conondales, is magnificent … Walking down the steep, heavily grassed hillside, my boots experienced what ‘many small springs’ meant, particularly as it was only a few days after flood rain.

“We squelched our way downhill to a rainforest gully noting a number of springs along the way,” Mackay wrote.

“Apart from an impressive view, the other characteristic of this country is its propensity for landslips.

“Water percolating down to the basalt below acts almost like ball bearings allowing the soil above it to start to slide down the hill. We saw no shortage of slips, big and small, as we followed the water downhill.

“As you’d expect at the head of a river, the country formed a giant amphitheatre with all gullies funnelling toward the bottom and into

a big dam, constructed some 30 years ago, and this was this was the start of the Mary.”

This was also the route taken in 1843 by the Crown Commissioner for Lands, Stephen Simpson and German-born Reverend Christoph Eipper who had set out from Moreton Bay to find a site for a new Aboriginal settlement in what was known as the Larger Bunya Country.

Eipper had apparently travelled in the area previously with just a couple of others, befriending several Aboriginal mobs along the way but, as historian Dr Ray Kerkhove has noted, this expedition was more like a military exercise. They were accompanied by 12 soldiers, a team of bullocks and a dray, and as guides the two former convicts, James Davis and David Bracewell, who had escaped from Moreton Bay and lived for long periods with the Kabi Kabi.

Interestingly, Bracewell had been with explorer Andrew Petrie the previous year when they discovered the mouth of the same river and named it the Wide Bay River.

the Traditional Owners but they did experience the wild and difficult nature of the headwaters country before finally discovering the flood plains known to the Aboriginal population as Hinkan Buman, now known to us as Kenilworth. While the idea of an Aboriginal outstation was soon abandoned because of the difficulty of access, the expedition paved the way for later settlement.

Long before there was a Bruce Highway, or even a coach road along the coastal route north, there were three routes that traversed the Conondale Range and were used by early explorers and settlers.

The most direct, and also the most dangerous, approximates Simpson and Eipper’s route in 1843, and is now known as Postman’s Track.

On the first fine morning in weeks, I nudge my little town car down the first incline and shudder at the condition of the narrow road at the first major bend. It reminds me a little of those clips of tourist buses on goat tracks in the Andes that crop up on social media from time to time, but I take a deep breath and acclimatise.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

As the name implies, this track was once used by the weekly packhorse postal service which would carry the mail down the mountain and bring milk and cream from the dairy farms back up.

But even before the Mary Valley settlers arrived in numbers, it was used by hundreds of gold seekers on their way to the Gympie gold fields following Nash’s 1867 discovery. The only transport that could successfully cross the range were bullock drays or desperados pushing wheelbarrows and tramping along on foot.

It’s still rough, but, my god, it’s beautiful, and at the bottom of the escarpment and along the valley a bit, I turn onto Policeman’s Spur and head back up towards the source to a soundtrack of the babbling brooks that are on their way to becoming the Mary River.

When I run out of road I know I’m getting close to the hideaway of long-time resident Di Collier, but in fact there are still swollen streams to ford.

Fortunately, Di arrives just as I’m wondering which way to turn next, and guides me to her property, where she discovers she’s been riding on a flat tyre. Out here where the trams don’t run and the RACQ certainly doesn’t visit, when it comes to replacing a tyre, Di is on her own. But it’s always been that way.

Di Collier cringes a little at words like hippies and communes, but she’s been a fellow traveller with free-spirited alternate lifestyles for at least the last 50 of her 70 years, dropping out of university in Melbourne and roaming from an isolated farm in West Cooroy to a forestry hut in Cooloolabin near the pioneering Starlight Community.

“I’d been immersed in that kind of lifestyle for quite a while, so it was no surprise I ended up here,” she said.

“The land was quite cheap because it was

Picture: DI COLLIER the never-never. You had to go to Nambour to shop, and people there didn’t even know where Conondale was.”

The property Di and her then-partner bought in 1975 is now officially Conondale.

Unofficially, it’s “half an hour from anywhere” on bad dirt tracks and creek crossings.

It’s unimaginably remote, not so much in travel time but in the sense that you are in a densely wooded and beautiful ancient landscape. And what Di has created here is pretty damned special, but it wasn’t always thus.

She and her partner wrangled a deal to buy a parcel of the vast Kennedy family pastoral holdings that once stretched from Kilcoy Station, notorious for the poisoning of Aborigines after the theft of some sacks of flour in the 1840s, all the way to what is now Postman’s Track.

But by the time Di moved onto the land she’d broken up with the partner and had a son.

“We moved into a substandard hut with three half-walls, one side totally open, no power, no generator, just a kerosene lamp and an outside campfire,” she said.

“Someone gave me a sheet of canvas that I could put up in winter. I suppose it was exciting, an adventure. It gets very cold here in winter, especially down by the creek, but I didn’t think of it as hardship.”

But back then Di says she was a complete novelty to the local farming community.

“One day there was a guy on a horse at the creek and for ages he just looked at me, standing in front of my hut with a baby in my arms.

He didn’t say a word, he was just gobsmacked.”

To be honest, I’m a little gobsmacked today.

From the time her son was three, Di has worked at creating a tree-top hideaway she shares with the wallabies and the snakes, with a main house, a stone guest cottage and a stu-

dio. It is totally enchanting, but it speaks of decades of hard work in building and maintenance that is ongoing.

When the floodwaters come storming down the swollen creek she can be stuck here for weeks.

That word resilience comes to mind again.

Starting with the Crystal Waters permaculture estate soon after she arrived, a community of like-minded souls has grown up in pockets of the valley around her, escalating during Covid, and a few creature comforts have flowed.

“When I came here. the school bus would deliver your groceries as well as your kids, and the Conondale general store didn’t sell milk because everyone was a dairy farmer,” she said.

“Whatever you could buy there had to be measured from a sack. But now they even do a decent coffee.”

For the last 25 years or so, Di Collier has been involved in environmental restoration work.

“That’s my passion. I want to spread the word without preaching to the people who are settling all over the valley.

“This is why I’ve started doing community workshops.

“I’ve done walks to the springs, we’ve had a frog field trip, finding endangered species, and because I’ve got 168 acres up here and I’ve been weeding it for decades, we have weeding workshops.

“It’s about building community cohesion, to build a love for the river amongst the new people. The headwaters are of such ecological importance, and it’s something that connects everyone. I don’t tell them how to think, I just show them what’s here.”

In Part 2 of Proud Mary next week, the author takes to his e-bike to meet the characters of the lower valley.

Sonder Studio Gallery in Cooroy is hosting an art exhibition to celebrate Refugee Week.

The exhibition, entitled The Global Need for Healing, will showcase artworks by refugees who have been, or are still, living in refugee camps around the world.

The free event will open at 6pm on Friday 18 June, with readings and music by former refugees, and the exhibition runs from 18 – 26 June.

Also featured is a message, made up of giant letters creatively decorated by around 30 community groups and individuals from across the Sunshine Coast, coordinated by the Sunshine Coast Refugee Action Network.

Two of the huge letters were decorated by participants at a recycled art and craft workshop in Cooran on 26 May as part of the Connecting Noosa program.

“The great thing about this community project is how many different groups jumped on board – from schools to climate action groups, artists to multicultural groups,” Sonder founder, Gabby Sutherland said.

Have your say on tree management in Noosa Tourism Noosa members attended a series of industry workshops this week to learn about Tourism Noosa’s soon to be launched visitor data program.

Data informs Tourism Noosa members attended a series of industry workshops this week to learn about Tourism Noosa’s new, soon to be launched visitor data program.

The Noosa Travel Insights Hub, which is free and exclusive for Tourism Noosa members, was launched in September last year and provides leading-edge data technology, with insights into travel trends and patterns - useful for business planning and marketing.

Phase two of the program is the Data Program for Operators, a free beta testing program for members that want to get more granular and richer data specific to their business.

Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said they were excited to provide the additional support tool to members.

“The program provides members with even richer insights to help with their marketing,” she said.

“Information such as who is staying in hotels/motels, who is booking tours, what they are spending while on holiday and how is that different from others who visit Noosa.

“This type of information provides a gap analysis and recommendations that can help

operators improve on their advertising spend.

“Members across the accommodation sector, food and beverage, experiences, wellness, retail and services attended the bespoke workshops which were led by program developer of Localis, Robbie Dalton. This provided a great opportunity for like-minded businesses to ask questions, share ideas and gain insights that are specifically relevant to their sector.”

Seahaven Noosa Resort general manager Alan Golley said: “I am pleased to see the evolution of the stats provided by Localis and Tourism Noosa and glad to see that feedback from industry is being taken into consideration to make sure the data is useful, relevant, and accurate. I look forward to working with Tourism Noosa to see how we can shape the data to give better insights to local businesses so they can make better business decisions.”

Localis program developer Robbie Dalton said: “Noosa has some of the most impressive destination marketers and operators anywhere in Australia and we couldn’t be more excited to build this world class product in conjunction with the team at Tourism Noosa and the operators at Noosa.”

Council has reviewed its Tree Management on Public Land policy and is now seeking feedback from the community.

Mayor Cr Clare Stewart said Noosa Shire’s landscape was characterised by its abundant green assets and its trees were fundamental to the character of Noosa Shire.

“Trees provide social, cultural, economic, and environmental benefits to our community,” Cr Stewart said.

“They shade our streets and parks, cool and soften our buildings, enhance our streets and provide homes and food for our local wildlife. They also prevent soil erosion, filter wind, reduce noise and air pollutants, store carbon and produce oxygen.

“However, trees can also present a risk to both people and property, and council needs to manage this risk whilst maintaining trees as valuable assets where possible and safe to do so,” she said.

Over the past 12 months, council has received nearly 2800 queries from the community in relation to trees requiring investigation and action.

Civil and assets operations manager Bryan O’Connor said community expectations regarding trees were increasing, evident by tree-related customer requests being the highest category received by council.

“We know trees invoke a mix of feelings across the community. People can attach intrinsic values to certain trees, or value all trees for their environmental benefits,” Mr O’Connor said.

“Conversely, some community members

Council currently delivers a proactive tree management program which allows them to plan tree works across the year so they can reduce the volume of reactive tree works required.

“The revised policy is designed to provide greater detail on how council deals with requests for tree removal and pruning,” said Cr Stewart.

“The changes add more detail to the existing framework, helping the community to better understand the process for decision making as well as provide greater transparency and consistency in decision making through greater policy detail.”

Madill’s heavenly match This week, Katie Rose Cottage Hospice and Madill Motor Group announced they will be working together to support the work the hospice does in providing best in class, locally delivered palliative care.

Unique in Australia, Katie Rose is the only palliative care facility that is funded principally by the community.

Hospice head of fundraising and partnerships Leigh McCready said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Madills as our silver sponsor for the upcoming Forget-menot Gala, following their previous support for our other events.”

“Itself a long-established and highly respected organisation in Noosa, Madills is a huge supporter of many charities and community organisations in Noosa and we are looking forward to a long-lasting relationship as the hospice grows and expands its services to help even more community members.”

Madill Motor Group general manager Simon Guthrie said, “Supporting our local community is one of our core values at Madill Motor Group. That’s why we work closely with several worthwhile charities and we ask customers to help decide where to share our funding.”

“When you purchase a car through us, you are not only supporting a family-owned business, but also supporting the local community through Madill’s $20,000 Community Dona-

tion. After purchasing any Madill Motor Group vehicle, customers have the choice of two local charities that do wonderful things within our community to nominate who we donate to. Twice a year, we tally up our responses and split our donation based on our customers’ requests.

“Your hardest decision will be choosing just one charity for us to contribute to! We know Katie Rose is a popular and highly respected local charity and we are delighted to be partnering with them on the upcoming, inaugural fundraising Gala.”

Ms McCready said, “We are fortunate to receive so much support from local businesses and individuals to continue the work we do.

In addition to today’s announcement, we are delighted to be working with the other local organisations which come on board to support the Gala, including Bruff Painting and Haymes Paint, Priest Jewellers, Alba Noosa, Acres Noosa, Altum Property Group, Isabella’s Fine & Antique Jewellery, Tipi Luxe, Emerald Noosa Resort, Poolworld Noosa, Frenchies Brasserie, Push Promotions, Pearls for Girls, Synda & Rose Design and Marketing, Sails Restaurant Noosa, Gusto Riverfront Restaurant and Coastline BMW.” Limited tickets to the Gala are available through the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice website or Facebook page.

Good Shepherd shines a light on reconciliation

Organisers of the Fashion fundraiser; Mary White, Beth Fahy, Susan Beaton, Sue Bardon, and Bron Kennedy.

Fashion supports youth mental health program Last week, the residents of Aveo Peregian Springs Country Club hosted a successful gala fashion parade and grand raffle, with the aim of raising much-needed funds for youth mental health on the Sunshine Coast.

An amazing $5410 was raised at the event and donated to Youturn Youth Support, a local not-for-profit which last year supported more than 9000 vulnerable young Australians and their families – many who were struggling with mental health concerns.

With young people at the heart of everything Youturn does, its youth support services fall within three core focus areas of child safety, homelessness, and mental health. The devastating effects of isolation from the pandemic meant services are in need of funding to continue their important work.

Susan Beaton, engagement and donor relations manager at Youturn, said the mental health programs, delivered through five headspace centres (including Ma-

roochydore), were running at capacity with waitlists stretching from weeks to months.

“We know this is not acceptable which is why fundraising is so important,” she said.

“Events such as this highlights one of the biggest protective factors for young people that are doing it tough in having a caring community, who will listen, understand, show compassion and help those who are struggling to seek the support they need.”

Bringing the convenience of shopping to retirement villages, particular mention should be made of Roz, director of Portofino Fashion, Brisbane, who hosted the fashion parade and pop-up shop.

In conclusion, the organisers of the event thanked the many local businesses and individuals for their tremendous support, without which they could never have achieved such a great result. Aveo, in particular, was also acknowledged for its support of the fundraising initiative.

The National Reconciliation Week 2022 theme, ‘Be Brave. Make Change’, is a challenge to all Australian individuals, families, communities, organisations and government to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation.

Good Shepherd Lutheran College was keen to reflect on the theme and encourage the conversation within the GSLC Community.

For more than 25 years, National Reconciliation Week has been a time for all Australians to reflect on what they can do to advance the reconciliation of the nation.

For this purpose, students and staff engaged in a variety of experiences and activities to gain a deeper understanding about the shared histories, cultures, and achievements and to explore ways to contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

To reinforce awareness of the campaign and its purpose, students created ‘Walking Together’ banners, which were displayed throughout the campus, and enjoyed Indigenous-infused foods like Lemon Myrtle cookies.

During break time, footprints were drawn around campus to symbolise walking together, music by First Nation Peoples was played and photos were taken with friends.

College staff were treated to a variety of In-

digenous foods, including Lilly Pilly Chilli Jam, Wattle Seed and Saltbush Damper, Bunya Nut Soup and Dooja Lime Cheesecake.

With tastebuds alive to the new flavours, staff were also given a sample bag of dried, ground lemon myrtle, harvested from one of the numerous lemon myrtle trees on campus.

“While students engaged in a variety of experiences and activities throughout the week, assembly and Chapel was used to recognise and connect to the importance of National Reconciliation Week,” Sandy Hardy, head of middle years studies and Reconciliation Week coordinator, said.

“We explained that change begins with brave actions in daily life – where people live, work, play and socialise.

“We encourage our students to take these actions to make change every day of the year, not just during National Reconciliation Week.

“The purpose of National Reconciliation Week was to encourage and inspire students and staff at Good Shepherd to contribute to a more reconciled nation. I hope that by engaging the college community with a variety of activities and experiences, we will enable this to occur.”

Staff and students were amazed to find out how many delicious Indigenous ingredients could be found on the College campus.

Give time to your garden

By Erle Levey If you want a successful vegetable garden, you have to dedicate time to it.

It doesn’t have to be a massive commitment - just 10-15 minutes a day for the average garden patch.

A little often saves having to do a lot later.

With a lifetime passion for plants and the garden coupled with more than 25-years of industry experience, Adam Woodhams is a dirtunder-the-nails gardener, horticulturist and sustainability specialist who crosses over into landscape and DIY. Initially from Sydney, Adam now lives on the shores of Lake Weyba, near Noosa.

He is also a regular guest speaker at the Queensland Garden Expo, to be held at Nambour Showgrounds on July 8-10.

Adam believes gardening also creates a healthy outlook - it decreases stress and keeps you active.

“It’s fantastic exercise … and it’s free,’’ he said.

“Simply take the time to check for water, for bugs, and fungus after wet or humid weather.

“It’s quite easy and fun, but you need to understand that it takes time.

“It’s by no means difficult.’’

Gardening can be a pleasant way to start day - that quiet time just as the sun comes up.

Otherwise, it’s great to be able to wind down at the end - just before sunset, when the garden is so tranquil.

“Take the time to check the leaves, the soil, the mulch or the weeds,’’ Adam said.

“You have to understand those few minutes are an essential part of making it work.’’

Adam has been involved with the Queensland Garden Expo Expo for five years or so and will be there this year on two levels.

There will be more than 120 free talks and workshops at the expo during the weekend.

Adam will be at the Scotts marquee each day to run workshops.

They are probably the singular most popular workshops with instruction to build little planters.

He loves to be involved with the expo on a number of levels.

“I get to see what people are interested in sharing a love of gardens, having the ability to chat one-on-one and face-to-face.

“So often that is done at a distance. Here, you can can talk directly.’’

This year it will be potted succulents - the chance to create a little treasure to take home and grow.

Adam will also do talks on the Jacaranda stage, focusing on two different areas.

One will be how to get the best photos and videos out of a phone camera.

For more than a decade Adam has operated his own specialised communications business.

His freelance editorial and photographic work has appeared in quality magazines such as Handyman Australia, Better Homes & Gardens, Gardening Australia and Your Garden to name a few.

Adam has photographed garden shows around the world including The Chelsea Flower Show.

He has worked as the principal photographer for the prestigious Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

The other topic he will speak about at the Queensland Garden Expo is sustainability.

Again, he has a strong background in that.

He believes that a home’s garden and living spaces can, and should, be beautiful, practical and environmentally sound.

Adam has been deeply passionate about contemporary sustainable home and garden design, long before it became a buzz-word.

“I approach it from a pragmatic point of view,’’ he said.

“If you do not take that approach it is not sustainable.

“It’s about how we can get sustainable in a way that does not bust the budget.

“To do that we reflect back on generations of past.’’

Sustainability is particularly timely now, as we come out of the Covid pandemic and are hit by cost of living increases.

“What destroyed sustainability was the end

“We had the manufacturers at the end of the war and all of this new technology.

“We went from simply meeting needs to creating advances in technology - refrigeration, supermarkets, improved transport.

“Broad-acre farming took over from family farms.

“It’s interesting in that it is now going full circle - it’s a fascinating area, particularly when you look at the history of it.

“People are quite surprised that it has only taken two or three generations to become so far removed from self-sustaining practices.’’

The challenges of the recent years have been blessings in many ways.

Adam comments on how great it is to see how the IGA food stores and independent outlets support local produce.

“When things hit crisis point in Covid and the floods, the big supermarkets could not provide so many lines.

“That’s where the local supermarkets and shopkeepers stepped up.

Local farmers were able to continue supplying these established retailers, and they were able to provide for customers.’’

Speaking of growing conditions, Adam admits he has a non-scientific rain gauge but that until the start of June there has been 2000mm of rain at Lake Weyba, when it is normally 1600mm annually.

Having moved to the Sunshine Coast six years ago, he is amazed at how the plants grown down south as indoor or rare ornamentals are standard for gardens here.

“It’s a great delight to grow giant bromeliads in an open garden.

“As a horticulturist, it was so exciting to be surrounded by different plants.

“What struck me was the length of the growing season. The warmth.

“We can keep growing tomatoes through winter.’’

He is inspired by the way we can get multiple crops throughout the year in South East Queensland, and many of them outside of regular growing times.

“Brassicas such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage do not like high temperatures during the day.

“That’s challenging in our winters as we get mild, sunny days.

“Having gardened since a kid, I noticed a lot of these vegetables were getting harder to grow in Sydney as well … we were experiencing warmer winter days even though there were still cold nights.

“It’s the same with broad beans and brus-

Free workshops are one of the most popular events at the Queensland Garden Expo. 284842 sel sprouts … you need to be aware of requirements.

“Get a full understanding of what is needed.’’

That takes us back to getting out in the garden often, not letting challenges take over.

There are ways of getting around fruit fly, Adam said.

“The trick for citrus is an organic fly trap, and you put them in the garden as soon as you see the citrus trees starting to flower.

“That’s when the fruit is most susceptible the skin is so thin.

“Keep the traps out until the skin thickens up.

“That’s one of the areas I talk about at the expo.

“It’s important to be in the crop regularly, so if there are any issues you can nip it in the bud.’’

BOQ Noosa backs health Not only are BOQ Noosa proud supporters of the local Noosa community, they are also passionate about advocating for the health and wellbeing of the men and women in their branch.

This Men’s Health Week, the BOQ Noosa team is placing a strong emphasis on mental and physical wellbeing of their team.

“I consider that our focus on our team’s health and wellbeing is extremely important to being a successful business, as it ensures that our team are healthy and happy in their work and personal lives,” owner-manager Rod Pertot said.

The BOQ Noosa team is highly invested in breaking down the barriers to support and promoting awareness of key health challenges faced by men all year round.

Lending manager Tim Sipp said, “It is refreshing in our modern fast paced world that our employer provides an environment that embraces mental health and personal wellbeing in the workplace.

“Our frequent catch ups and formal programs and visual aids ensure we are all thinking about ourselves and others in our work and home life to achieve the best possible balance and happiness in life.“ BOQ Noosa’s commitment to the mental and physical wellbeing of their team members starts with their weekly Wellness Wednesday initiative. This initiative recognises the importance of mental health, especially as it can be difficult for men to prioritise themselves when they are often busy with work and their families.

On Wellness Wednesdays, the team is encouraged to spend an extra hour before work doing something they love, like grabbing a coffee, spending quality time with their families or taking their dogs for a walk.

Once a month, the team is also joined by an organisational psychologist, who conducts a Flourishing Teams session, where they focus on cultivating important work/life skills.

“Our team finds these sessions extremely beneficial to their personal and work lives and they often implement these skills in their everyday lives to assist them with their own health and wellbeing,“ Rod said.

Peregian Digital Hub is putting Noosa on the tech map The Peregian Digital Hub has played a pivotal role in securing Noosa as the location for Venture Down Under, the leading forum for Australia’s technology investment sector.

In collaboration with Sydney-based organisers Innovation Bay and the Queensland Government, the three-day event from 14 – 17 June will welcome more than 100 delegates from 40 venture capital investment firms.

Digital Hub director Chris Boden said the event would help inject more capital into Queensland start-ups and create

high value jobs.

“Venture capital is the lifeblood of technology start-ups, so hosting this forum could be the catalyst to grow this sector in the region,” he said.

“In an added boost, members of the local digital sector will be part of the event and spend valuable time meeting and learning from investors from across the country.”

In welcoming the delegates, Mayor Cr Clare Stewart said the week of networking would showcase the strength of the digital industry emerging in Noosa and grow its pro-

file amongst investors.

“It’s obviously a boost for local business but equally important is what it does to heighten awareness of the great work being achieved at the Peregian Digital Hub,” she said.

A recent independent audit, commissioned by council, showed the Digital Hub generated over $4.8 million in economic value in the last financial year.

“This directly contributed to the creation of about 40 new jobs,” Mr Boden said.

Mr Boden said the hub’s digital ecosystem

development program benefited from the ongoing strong relationship with the State Government’s Advance Queensland program.

“Hosting this high-profile venture capital conference helps put Noosa on the national map and creates opportunities for our tech start-ups, digital service providers and investors,” he said.

“The conference will see some of the Sunshine Coast’s most promising start-ups pitch to a room full of investors, which could be a game-changing opportunity for them.”

Noosa EV Expo to deliver Organisers of the Noosa EV Expo this Sunday are promising an exciting, fun experience for event attendees.

“In a first for Noosa, the expo is taking over the whole of Sunshine Beach Road in Noosa Junction, and you will need to plan ahead to make sure you don’t miss anything,” event coordinator Vivien Griffin said.

A face painter, buskers and great food from the local cafes will be part of the mix, as well as a huge display of all types of electric transport. Visitors will also have the chance to go in the draw for a luxury accommodation package sponsored by RACV Noosa Resort, and the first 250 visitors who come by bus will be presented with a voucher for two free trees from Noosa Landcare.

“Visitors should check out the Ioniq 5 which will be powering our Speakers’ Tent, and we will also be showcasing at least 10 different brands of electric cars, from the luxury end of the market to the more affordable models which qualify for the Queensland government $3000 subsidy,” Vivien said.

“With fuel prices heading up, many people are starting to think that their next car will be electric, and the expo is a great opportunity to ask the hard questions of both owners and dealers.

“Of course, we will also have our popular trial rides for e-bikes and e-scooters, together

Benzina Zero scooters. with displays of electric mopeds, motorbikes, buses and trucks.

“Both University of Queensland and University of Technology electric racing teams will also be bringing their vehicles along to highlight career opportunities in the electric transport field.

“Also, look out for the Grade 6 Sunshine Beach students, with their Noosa Enduro driving circuit for miniature electric cars.”

“We are delighted to welcome Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey to the event once more, and this year we will have a full program of speakers with practical information on everything you wanted to know about electric vehicles.”

EV sales up It is looking more and more like the tipping point for electric car sales has been reached in Australia, according to Noosa EV Expo coordinator Vivien Griffin.

“Between 2020 and 2021, EV sales in Australia nearly tripled from 6900 to 20,665, and 2022 first quarter figures at 6752 are already close to the entire sales figures for 2020,” she said.

“These figures would have been much higher if dealers had been able to meet demand immediately. There are major waiting times for supply of several brands. For example, you will have to wait nine to 12 months for your new Tesla Model 3 if you order now.

“The graph of sales in Queensland tells the

EV sales in Australia have nearly tripled.

same story. The only way is up for electric car sales.

“At the EV Expo, we will have 14 different models of electric car on display, so this is a great chance to do your homework and speak to dealers or their loving owners.

“Brands on show include three BMW models, electric Mini, Hyundai Ioniq, Kona and Ioniq 5, MG, Polestar, BYD, Mazda, Nissan Leaf, Mercedes EQA and of course Tesla. In addition, it is a great opportunity to check out the Queensland Government Nexo hydrogen car.”

The Expo is proudly supported by Noosa Council and Noosa Junction Association.

Renewable energy is essential for Noosa With electricity prices predicted to show substantial price hikes, the need to focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy is more important than ever for Noosa’s economy.

“ZEN Inc. has estimated that at least $77M leaves the shire every year in electricity costs,” Zero Emissions Noosa chair Anne Kennedy said.

“That is likely to head towards $100M in the near future with rising costs.

“Our current focus is on developing a network of community batteries across the shire.

“It’s early days, but we know this is an essential next step for Noosa.

“We are working closely with colleagues at Yarra Energy Foundation, who are leaders in this field. In addition, we strongly believe that a focus on real and serious economic development for the shire must include assisting existing businesses to take control of their electricity costs.

“We have the proof of what can be achieved through our series of business case studies, where the owners are unanimous in describing solar as a ’no brainer’

“However, there is still much to be achieved in sectors, such as business, strata and low income or rental accommodation.”

Slash emissions right now Rooftop solar has slashed Noosa Council’s reliance on grid power substantially, not only supercharging the organisation’s 2026 net-zero goal, but wiping 30-40 per cent off the annual power bill.

“For local businesses looking to get started on their quest to reduce emissions, renewable energy from solar is a great place to start. As well as reducing your carbon footprint it will help soften the impact of ballooning power costs,” acting environment manager Rebecca Britton said.

“On a smaller scale, start making a difference today by turning off unnecessary lights and using timers and sensors.”

Reducing emissions through energy efficiency is an important part of the larger goal of achieving net-zero.

There are many other ways businesses looking to achieve carbon neutrality can get started, without major time and monetary investments.

“Join EcoBiz – it’s a free government service set up to help Queensland businesses, community groups, sporting clubs and not-forprofits lower their emissions, boost their efficiency and save money.

“Locally, you can join Zero Emissions Noosa for guidance on getting solar and achieving carbon neutrality in business.”

Noosa Council staff were on hand at local World Environment Day festivities recently to provide information about waste, recycling, solar and reducing emissions.

Transport is among Noosa’s major greenhouse gas emitters and another good place for businesses to accelerate their carbon neutral journey.

“Consider reducing your transport emissions by calculating travel over one year and looking for ways to cut back on vehicle use.

Perhaps connect with clients online, switch to

walking, cycling or make use of car-share options,” Ms Britton said.

“When it comes time to renew company vehicles, opt for electric. Check out Zero Emissions Noosa’s Electric Vehicle Expo on June 19 in Noosa Junction to explore innovative transport options and the latest in electric vehicle technology.”

When you can’t reduce any further, look for ways to offset those emissions you can’t avoid by investing in drawdown projects that plant trees, grow crops and nurture soil.

“Invest in local reforestation projects to offset your emissions, or take a hands-on approach - join our bushland care group and help plant trees in your spare time.”

As a shire, waste remains a surprisingly major source of greenhouse gas emissions.

“While Council is constantly striving for best practice, we can all do our bit to reduce the amount of organic waste bound for landfill.

“Keep food scraps out of landfill, make sure to recycle paper and cardboard, and eliminate unnecessary packaging, especially everything that can’t be recycled.”

Ms Britton says businesses looking to really accelerate their carbon neutral quest should make detailed calculations about their emissions.

“Calculating your emissions requires un-

derstanding your impact clearly. You can prepare your own carbon footprint or engage a professional sustainability consultant.

“It’s certainly possible for small businesses to become carbon-positive, whereby your business’s contribution is greater than its impact.

And the benefits aren’t just environmental.

“Along the way you can look forward to greater efficiencies, cost savings and potential business growth as you become a preferred supplier to an increasingly eco-conscious consumer.”

About 200 cars made it to the drivethrough Give a Sheet textile recycling event and it’s hoped many more make it to future annual events, as the amount of clothing and textiles ending up in Noosa landfill is a growing waste problem.

Emma from Noosa Council said Australia had become the second highest consumer of textiles in the world after the US with people on average now wearing an item of clothing only seven times before throwing it away. She said Noosa landfill was seeing much more clothing and textiles weekly.

In an attempt to reduce landfill, Council teamed up with Logan-based clean-tech company BlockTexx which recycles textiles through its chemical and manufacturing process and collects good quality used clothing for The Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul to recycle and create funds through their op shops.

BlockTexx co-founder Graham Ross said the company had developed a process to separate polyester and cotton from textiles to create two usable products which they could onsell to be recycled into a wide variety of goods.

Graham said the recycled cotton was sold as a slurry or powdered form

Picture: ROB MACCOLL and could be used for items such as table tops, playground equipment and carry bags. Polyester pellets they produce could be reused in production of paint, concrete, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, he said.

Graham said the Australia-first company had diverted 4000 tons of textiles from landfill in its first year of production and aimed to increase that to 10,000 to 12,000 tons.

He said Australians dumped 800,000 tons of textiles and clothing into landfill each year without considering the consequences.

“People care about a coke bottle but not about their favourite tee-shirt and it’s the same thing,” he said.

Noosa was the second Council to partner with BlockTexx, following Kuring-Gai (northern Sydney) Council a couple of weeks ago.

Many questions unanswered While I applaud Phil Jarratt’s valiant attempt to remain objective on the troubled issue of the commercialisation of the Cooloola Great Walk (NT 10 June: Talking the walk) the overall impression I’m left with is that it’s simply a matter of finalising the small print on the ILUA (Indigenous Land Use Agreement). This is far from being the case – there are far too many questions still to be resolved, among these the right of a commercial consortium to set up an operation which excludes many ordinary Australians from participating, due to the cost.

I calculate that including travel costs, a family of four would need to spend upwards of $12,000 for the full six day journey, given the stated cost of almost $600 per person per night in one of the glamping cabins.

It now appears that the Kabi Kabi group headed by Brian Warner are seeking to restrict public access to Lake Poona and Double Island Point through the declaration of an RRA in these zones. Hidden beneath their justified concerns regarding power-boat access to the Upper Noosa River as well as the virtually unrestricted destruction by 4WDs of sand dunes and Aboriginal relics on and near the beach adjacent to the National Park, is a clear desire to exploit Native Title by utilising former public land for the benefit and convenience of a select group of well-off patrons. This, to my mind, belies the Indigenous tradition of custodianship rather than ownership of the land – I stand to be corrected if I’m wrong.

Given space, I could expand on the enormous ecological impact of setting up and servicing the proposed new trail and associated glamping facilities, not to mention the evident need for easy access for emergency services including helicopters – remember this is a region with high fire and flood risks.

I urge your readers to take this vital matter to heart and to contact Sandy Bolton or your local Queensland MP, as well as the Qld Premier and Environment Minister, to express your concerns, before this travesty is allowed to set a precedent for the future commercial exploitation of what should be regarded as a key part of the natural heritage of all Australians.

Noel Bird, Boreen Point

Informal vote concern I appreciated the analysis of the recent Federal Election results for Wide Bay by Ingrid Jackson.

There was another aspect of the voting which I found particularly disturbing.

On the actual voting day I was at the polling booth at the Christian Outreach Centre where there were far fewer votes cast than normally as there were many more votes cast in pre polling than usual.

However, during the voting hours I noticed an unusually large number of voters declined the offer of how to vote cards being distributed on behalf of most candidates, particularly amongst the younger voters. This concerned me as there were 10 candidates on the House of Representatives ballot paper which would have made it difficult to remember the preference order of a particular candidate or party..

At the conclusion of voting I represented a party as a scrutineer and was therefore able to see the count of votes.

I was amazed that of the votes cast on election day at that booth, 16 per cent were infor-

John Mikkelsen took this image last week of a stunning sunset from his roof deck looking west over the national park. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au mal. The majority of those informal votes were blank ballot papers and not incomplete ballot papers.

The only conclusion that I could reach from my observations on that day was that the younger generation are showing scant respect for the democratic process which has been a cornerstone of our system of government for over 100 years. Is our education system such that an emphasis on the democratic process has been discarded and the importance of this fundamental of our way of life has been diminished?

Simon Gamble, Noosa Heads

Election campaigns not a level playing field While I’m in favour of considering realistic election campaign spending caps at all levels of government (NT 3/6/22 Call for spending caps on council election campaigns), it may not be enough to ensure level playing fields.

One issue which needs to be confronted is the difficulty that new entrants face when competing with incumbents who, regardless of merit, by virtue of their roles get the benefit of government-sponsored communications, photo opportunities, media releases and forums, particularly exploited in the year running up to elections.

If caps end up giving incumbents an even greater inside running, true representative democracy will only be diminished.

I am sure there are many people who shudder when they hear Austraya coming from the mouths of people they consider to be educated and informed (or even if they don’t) such as politicians and broadcasters. In fact, I suggest they take evening classes until they can pronounce our country’s name correctly, before being let loose in the public domain.

Ingrid Jackson, Former Noosa councillor

Pronunciation check Yes, there are many words which have a silent

L. And some are less silent than others. I, for instance, have been corrected for sounding the L in almond. In calm, palm, and balm, very lightly and in half, calf, would, could, should, not at all. The L in some words depends on the accent you developed in the country or county of youth.

But one thing I am sure of, is that the L in Australia should be pronounced loudly, clearly, and proudly.

Queensland’s building industry watchdog has cancelled 96 building licences to reassure home owners and industry participants that they are interacting with financially sustainable licensees.

The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) has cancelled the licences for failing to lodge mandatory annual financial reporting that was due on 31 December, 2021.

QBCC Commissioner Anissa Levy said financial reporting requirements helped ensure licensees were financially sustainable, could complete the projects they took on, and could pay their employees and suppliers.

“It is only fair and right that people are paid what they are owed for their labour and materials, and our reporting requirements help to ensure that this happens,” Ms Levy says.

Queensland’s building industry watchdog has cancelled 96 building licences. Picture: ISTOCK The QBCC cancelled the licences after issuing multiple reminders over a prolonged period to encourage the licensees to comply with

their financial reporting requirements.

As at 20 May 2022, almost 99 per cent of the 10,709 licensees Category 1-7 licensees had lodged the required annual financial information.

Ms Levy encouraged any licensee with concerns or questions about their financial reporting to contact the QBCC to discuss potential options available to help them.

QBCC licensees have been required to comply with annual financial reporting requirements since 1 January 2019, under the Minimum Financial Requirements for holding a licence.

Licensees in these categories have annual allowable maximum revenues ranging from $800,000 to $3 million (Category 1) to more than $240 million (Category 7).

Of the 96 cancelled licences, two were from Categories 5 to 7 and one was in Category 4.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Fishing for all in Noosa Recently I sat for a briefing with the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) regarding the Spanish Mackerel consultation stage one that has just completed.

Now you say, what does that have to do with you? Plenty! Whether as someone who likes to drop a line in, makes a living from our waterways including tourism, or cares about the environment and sustainable practices that our grandchildren can benefit from.

For some 30 years, fishing in Noosa has been a contentious topic, with diverse views from the belief that there is no issue with fish numbers, to the belief we have been fished out.

The blame game is a favourite on social media, with various papers, forums and feisty debates raging on and offline, with suggestions over the years including to buy out commercial fishing licenses.

Whether you prefer anecdotal evidence, versus data, ultimately government in its determinations on how to monitor, manage and main-

tain stock relies on quantitative and qualitative data to have a process that can be reviewed.

According to this data, our mate the Spanish mackerel is having a bit of a hard time.

I have posted to Noosa 360 (links below) how this has been assessed, amongst a host of other studies that relate to our river. In summary, the model incorporated data from 1911 to 2020, including estimated commercial, charter and recreational harvest for Queensland and New South Wales, Queensland commercial standardised catch rates, fish age-length frequencies, and key long-term fishery information on fishing power changes and catch rates.

Eight model scenarios were run, covering a range of modelling assumptions and fixed parameters. The stock assessment estimates the spawning biomass of east coast Spanish mackerel in 2020 was between 14 and 27 per cent of unfished levels in 1911. The base case model estimate was most likely at 17 per cent of unfished biomass in 2019–2020. Under the

Queensland Harvest Strategy Policy, rebuilding strategies are required for stocks below 20 per cent biomass.

DAF are working with both the recreational and commercial sector on what further restrictions should be implemented on the existing quotas. Much of what is being done is under a framework from the Sustainable Fishing Plan 2017-2027.

For anyone that has listened to any of my speeches, I often refer to aged frameworks that no longer serve us well. In this case, I have yet to find the gremlin in this, except the difference of opinion from DAF versus some within our community regarding current fishing practices in Noosa.

As with other hot topics such as live aboards, moorings and river speeds, which the Noosa River Advisory Stakeholder Group (NRASG) has been investigating and making recommendations to Government on as part of community consultation, do you believe

our fish and fishing should be included in their work? With diverse stakeholders on the group, and capacity to invite others as part of their investigations, it would be wonderful to put another historical issue to bed.

No doubt it will be a feisty process, as we have seen with the speed review, with plenty of misinformation to stir the online pot! However, if everyone has a common goal, plays the ball, not the man, and works with facts versus fiction, we may get to an agreeance that can hold us in good stead for the many years to come, as well as help out our scaly mates with a host of side benefits.

Artists make generous gift back to House of Local Art Eumundi’s boutique hotel accommodation HOLA (House of Local Art) supported and commissioned a wealth of local Sunshine Coast creatives in curating the hotel’s impressive art collection.

In a generous return of favour, a collective of local artists have now collaborated to create and gift the hotel a special work of thanks – The Magpie Totem.

Head Honcho at HOLA, Nicky Thomas, explained how intrinsic art was to the Eumundi boutique accommodation space.

“HOLA is all about the art,” she said.

“It’s the handcrafted creations on walls, the ceramics on side tables and benches, and the sculptures and installations sprinkled throughout the hotel grounds that guests really love.”

There are 45 original artworks hanging on the walls of HOLA, more than 100 individual ceramic pieces and 13 sculptures and installations.

“Sourcing the artworks for the hotel was the best bit,” Nicky said.

“We wanted to ensure local artists were honoured and celebrated – and Noosa Open Studios proved the perfect event for us to meet artists face-to-face. Indeed, more than 80 percent of our HOLA art collection was sourced through artists featured at Noosa Open Studios.”

As a thank you to HOLA for their support, five artists from Noosa Open Studios – Lisa Jones, Jo Cook, Kerry Norman, Sue Boyd and Carol Watkins – came together to reciprocate the favour, resulting in the sculptural work entitled Magpie Totem that has now been installed in the hotel grounds.

Lisa Jones said reciprocating the favour draws upon the Andean concept of Ayni – an exchange of energy - where community members work together, sharing, gifting and co-operating so that they grow together.

“We wanted to create something understated with organic elements, and something that would align with the many fabulous birdinspired artworks at the hotel,” Lisa said.

There are 100 ceramic welcome swallows positioned in a giant silky oak, a pair of bigeyed curlews grace the hotel walkway, and feathered friends featured in a number of the paintings scattered throughout the guest rooms.

The artists decided the magpie would be the star – chosen for their intelligence and wit, cheek and fearlessness, and said to bring love, luck and lasting prosperity.

“We sculpted our maggies during a clay workshop with ceramic artist Cathy Spencer of Fried Mudd,” says Lisa.

Artists Kerry Norman, Lisa Jones, Carol Watkins, Jo Cook and Sue Boyd.

“The next step was to carve the bamboo totems, which were harvested from black bamboo on my property.”

The poles were then coloured and embellished further (Carol’s with saggar fired beads) before being assembled and positioned onsite at HOLA.

Inspired by their collaboration in coming together to create The Magpie Totem, Lisa, Jo, Kerry and Carol will again create some special 2D/3D pieces that will be auctioned at the launch for Noosa Open Studios on 22 September.

Noosa Open Studios 2022 will take place

from 1 – 9 October, with 117 artists registered for this year’s event.

These terrific young musicians met through Hamburger Music Productions and have performed at venues and events across the Sunshine Coast. They are working on originals with the goal of a debut album/EP.

Ampersand is a versatile six-piece band made up of young musicians from the Sunshine Coast.

Jem Cassar-Daley graced the Brisbane music scene in 2021 with her debut single ‘Letting Go,’ followed by sophomore track ‘Changes’ and now her latest, ‘Like it More.’

Still in the early days of her solo career, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter is already creating the standard of art that can only see her flourish. The young talent has come into her own as a contemporary artist, with a worldclass sound that is a unique combination drawing from favourites like Missy Higgins, Phoebe Bridgers, Angus and Julia Stone, and Carole King.

As imagined, the result is a gorgeously diverse soundscape of soul, indie, pop grooves.

Jem’s captivating performances, stellar vocals and timeless songwriting earnt her the 2022 Queensland Music Indigenous Award for ‘Letting Go’, a debut headline Queensland tour, Spotify editorial playlisting support, nationwide press, and a spot on several festival lineups, including Jungle Love.

Park Sounds is an initiative by the team at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi and takes place on the last Sunday of the month.

Supercharging the local music economy A global multi-million-dollar live entertainment company has backed the launch of a new Sunshine Coast collective in the hopes of supercharging the region’s music economy with live events, concerts and festivals.

Live Nation, which is responsible for 40,000 live shows, more than 100 festivals and sells 500 million tickets per year, has thrown its support behind the Sunshine Coast Music Industry Collective (SCMIC).

Live Nation’s Damian Costin, also a SCMIC committee member, said the collective would provide a wonderful support mechanism for the music industry and create numerous opportunities for existing and new people moving to the region.

“It means we can have a new economy and that can have tangible results with live events, concerts, festivals and initiatives that are built and run by local operators,” he said.

“It also means over time we can connect local skilled workers interested in working in the entertainment industry.”

Damian said SCMIC was giving the music industry an opportunity to leave Covid-19 behind.

“When great people get together with purpose, we can jettison great concepts and achieve great results,” he said.

“That’s not hogwash – I truly believe we have some very talented people in this group from all ends of the industry and collectively we’ll ensure we have great outcomes for all.”

Founded by key music industry players, SCMIC is determined to unite the Sunshine Coast music industry to continue to build a thriving ecosystem and regional music brand.

SCMIC’s official launch party at NightQuarter on 16 June will see artists, bands and musicians unite with record labels, managers, promoters, and venue owners to build a stronger music industry.

SCMIC’s official launch party will take place at NightQuarter on 16 June. ists, Mushroom Records and Live Nation will be among the crowd members at the free event.

Damian said the official SCMIC Launch Party would mark a new chapter for the Sunshine Coast.

“If you have ever wanted to be part of a community that cares about entertainment and participating in the discussion, this is the beginning of that conversation,” he said.

SCMIC committee member Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson said the Sunshine Coast could become the “new Manchester, Liverpool, or Seattle”.

“We want to supercharge the music industry and encourage creatives, practitio-

ners, promoters, venue owners and people who see music as a part of what they are and what they do,” he said.

Local artists, including The Dreggs and Taylah J, will play at the event.

Attendees will be given the opportunity to join the SCMIC movement as members at the free launch party and can attend an industry development session between 10am and 12pm on 17 June.

Over the past 35 years Stacey studied a Bachelor of Arts in Ceramics with Honours and Post Graduate in Social Science in Aboriginal Studies and Art Education.

City slickers take an art vacation A group of six artists from Brisbane are leaving the city behind for an art vacation, and heading into Tewantin to show a collection of work including ceramic, painting, wood, metal and jewellery.

Noosa Councillor Karen Finzel will officially open Art Vacation at Max Galleria in the Tewantin Plaza on Friday 17 June from 6pm to 9pm.

The three-day art exhibition will run from Saturday 18 to Sunday 19 June from 9am to 4pm.

Artists exhibiting include Stacey Morrison, Geeta Harmon, Helena Mendes, David Bartholomew, Toni Bren–Clarke, and Claude Brocke.

“We are interested in showing outside the urban context of Brisbane and bringing our work to a coastal environment,“ they said.

From 2005, The Western Suburbs Clayworkers in Brisbane, emerged after a group of TAFE ceramic students from the Southbank Institute, discussed the benefits of belonging to a pottery group, where members could network, assist, and guide one another to achieve satisfying outcomes.

After a series of fortuitous circumstances, the Sherwood Neighbourhood Centre permitted two people to join them as volunteers, and to then instigate a group for ceramic artists, and like-minded people who have a passion for creating with clay.

The group said they were inspired by the coastal area of Tewantin.

“The standout piece would have to be Ceremony which is Raku fired and it promotes our wonderful First Nation culture,“ they said.

“I’d like the viewer to feel a deeper understanding of the marvelous medium of clay, and the wonders of creativity seen in the other art forms.“ Western Suburbs Clayworkers is sponsoring this group on the opening night, along with Fran’s Comphy Cushions and Max Galleria.

Darren’s country promises Multi-award winning performer, Darren Coggan, returns to his country roots with The Poems, Prayers & Promises of John Denver at The J on Saturday 18 June.

Darren has won two Golden Guitar awards, The Centenary medal for services to society, Australian Independent Male vocalist of the year, album of the year and many more.

He has played extensive theatrical roles including playing Richie Cunningham in the Happy Days arena spectacular, was a regular on All Saints, was understudy to John Farnham as Teen Angel in Grease.

He returns to The J delivering the vocal authenticity of one of the most passionate performers of all time.

In a personal reflection, Darren respectfully honours the indelible voice behind songs that the whole world sang along with, such universal anthems as Take Me Home Country Roads, Rocky Mountain High, Annie’s Song, Perhaps Love, Thank God I’m A Country Boy, Calypso, Leaving On A Jet Plane and many more.

Darren said, “The show celebrates the close relationship and fondness that John Denver had for Australia, which I think helped inspire much of his work.”

“I hope that I can deliver the same sense of joy and yearning that John Denver had for performing and indeed living life to the fullest.

“I hope that the audiences emerge from the theatres feeling uplifted and inspired by the songs, taking with them a sense of moral concern to strive for a better world for our children.”

For Darren, there has always been something about John Denver’s songs, and song writing, that has always inspired him.

Even from an early age, the music resonated with him.

“I have been a fan of John Denver’s for as long as I can remember,” he said.

“The very first songs I learned to play on the guitar at age six were John Denver songs.

“I think it’s the simplicity in which he delivers his lyrics, they are almost conversational and touch on universal themes of home, love, hope and things that are the essence of what we are all searching for.

“John’s passion for love and life was so infectious; you can’t help but get swept up in his enthusiasm. John spoke for the environment before it was popular to do so, and his songs have become voices for our planet, they offer us a vision of living in harmony with nature and with each other.”

Being at a Darren Coggan performance is such a lovely experience, he is a wonderfully warm performer who makes you feel very welcomed and included, there is no doubt you will leave smiling having sung along to all your favourite John Denver songs.

Don’t miss the show at The J Theatre on Saturday 18 June at 8pm.

International abstract artist calls Imbil home Imbil abstract artist Pat Cale has attained international renown with work in collections in Australia and overseas.

She is also a regular competitor at the Mary Valley Art Festival.

As planning is finalised for this year’s event on 21-24 July in Imbil, Pat is prepping her brushes to prepare her entries.

The festival is run by art organisation Mary Valley Artslink, and president Heinke Butt said Pat was among the elite artists attracted to the annual festival, which this year offers more than $10,000 in prizes.

“We are very lucky to have her reside in the Mary Valley - she is a valued member of Mary Valley Artslink, as a mentor, previous judge and participant,” Ms Butt said.

Pat has been instrumental in sharing her deep understanding of life drawing with participants during regular life drawing sessions hosted by Mary Valley Artslink in Imbil.

Pat was raised in Northern Sudan and has been an artist all her life.

“That desert enigma has always dictated the economy of my work - I tend to pare it down until it appears deceptively simplistic,” Pat said.

After training in England, she came to Australia and immediately connected with the landscape. “The vast horizons and the subtle colours were as music to me,” she said.

“My work is a message of shared experience - if a piece can make a viewer look with deeper understanding, then I would call that successful.

“Humanity is very much part of my view of the landscape. I do teach but regard that role as guidance fundamentally, and I take care to pass on the skills that I have learned.

Pat Cale has attained international renown with work in collections in Australia and overseas.

“I take pride in the fact that my students find their own voice through our shared time.

“This, the making of images, is my passion, gets me up in the morning and is, above all a privilege and a blessing.”

Artists from throughout South-East Queensland are encouraged to enter before 27 June. Entry forms and conditions can be found on the website maryvalleyartfestival.com.au The festival will be held at the Imbil Public Hall from 21-24 July, 10am-3pm daily, with the gala opening night and awards on 22 July. It attracts hundreds of visitors to Imbil and includes a poets’ breakfast on 23 July.

A Long Sunday Luncheon with Soprano Donna Cain will be held on 10 July in Imbil to fund the Suzie Smith Youth Encouragement Award for the festival. Bookings eatwell@ thegreenbowledifice.com.au Inquiries to Heinke Butt on 0419 024291 or email info@maryvalleyartfestival.com.au

Multi-award winning performer, Darren Coggan, returns to his country roots at The J.

New exhibition shows up Just ahead of the 2022 NAIDOC week celebrations, a new exhibition is launching at Gaiungan Gallery in Tewantin Plaza Arcade.

Opening night on Friday 24 June is set to be filled with art, song and story. This is a great opportunity to see a wonderful collection of Aboriginal art covering several different styles.

Artist-owner of the gallery Peter Mu-raay Djeripi Mulcahy is showing a number of new works and is also joined by two fellow local artists. Jandamurra Cadd, an Archibald Prize finalist, and Alister Bartholomew who both have works in the exhibition. The exhibition, timed to coincide with NAIDOC week, takes as its theme, Got up, Stood Up, Showed Up, to highlight the achievements of these three Indigenous Australians.

“This is a time when we need good strong role models,” Peter Mulcahy said.

“Our young people, whether Indigenous or non-Indigenous, are crying out for quality guidance and direction in their lives.

“We wanted to let people know that we three deadly brothers, Got Up, Stood Up and Showed Up in all aspects of our private professional and cultural lives.“ Mulcahy, whose Aboriginal name Muraay Djeripi means sulphur-crested white cockatoo and free-flying spirit, has over 30 years’ experience in producing fine art for both national and international clients and teaching both children and adults. Drawing on the knowledge and deep healing ways of his ancient culture, Mulcahy brings a strong educational background and exclusive guidance from his elders to his work with young people, and in particular to his art.

His unique fine art works display profound and long-lasting stories passed down over many generations. Reflected in these works are ancient ways of knowing and understanding ethics, morals and values, as

Gurria and Dhinawun Dreaming.

Picture: MU-RAAY DJERIPI well as a deep spirituality.

Mu-raay Djeripi’s unique, eye-catching art is full of colour, story and style and represent a window into the world’s oldest surviving culture. The works are an engaging way of learning more about this ancient culture and help us to better understand and connect with the uniqueness of being Australian.

Got up, Stood Up, Showed Up opens at Gaiungan Gallery, Tewantin Plaza Arcade at 6.30pm on Friday 24 June, located opposite the Royal Mail Hotel Tewantin.

Cabaret comes to Noosa

By Abbey Cannan

Felix, David, and Rory Williamson.

Play is family affair Australia’s most prolific playwright and Noosa Arts Theatre patron David Williamson and sons Rory and Felix are again joining forces with Noosa Arts Theatre to bring one of David’s best loved plays to the stage in July.

Money and Friends, which runs at Noosa Arts from 21 July - 13 August, is set in a fictional coastal town called Crystal Inlet where a group of friends confront how much their friendships are truly worth.

As one of the main characters states, “If friendship had any reality, money would be the test”.

This highly entertaining and insightful clash between commercialism and ideals makes Money and Friends as relevant today as when it broke box office records in the 1990s.

NIDA-trained Rory and Felix Williamson will be sharing their skills with the local cast and crew as director and actor respectively as they did last year with David’s outrageous comedy, Up for Grabs.

This year, Felix will also be running workshops for directors and actors.

Felix has starred in productions for Sydney Theatre Company, State Theatre of SA, Bell Shakespeare and Sydney’s Ensemble Theatre and in television series such as Underbelly, Wentworth, and Rake, also playing former PM Paul Keating in the mini-series Hawke.

The local cast includes Zoe Griffen, Jo Hendrie, Frank Wilkie, Patrick Reed, Yannick Marot, Sepi Burgiani, Rebecca Munasinghe and Jackson O’Sullivan.

Theatre spokesperson Maria Karambelas said Noosa’s community theatre was fortunate to have David as patron and opportunities for aspiring actors and directors to learn from industry professionals, such as Rory and Felix.

“The ultimate goal is our audience’s enjoyment, and a show like Money and Friends is a great way to have some fun after a few tough years.” Warning: This show contains adult content and themes, and the easily offended must not attend.

The play opens 21 July and runs until 13 August. Bookings on noosaartstheatre.org.au or 5449 9343.

Gloster shares the story of Yurol Ringtail project

Koalas and other wildlife will benefit from the increased habitat.

42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 June, 2022

Government dignitaries and conservationists gathered at Noosa Council Chambers on Tuesday May 17 to celebrate a landmark partnership.

Announcing that the project was now reaching its final phase, Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the Queensland Government would now turn the 2400 hectares of the old Yurol Ringtail State Forest into national park, with major revegetation works to be carried out by the Kabi Kabi People Aboriginal Corporation, Greenfleet Australia and Noosa Landcare.

“This has been the happiest collaboration of governments, industry, conservationists and First Nations People that I’ve ever been involved with,“ Dr Michael Gloster, vice-president of Noosa Parks Association and acknowledged as

the architect of the acquisition plan, said.

The project has been 60 years in the making.

A key milestone was the Yurol Ringtail acquisition, delivered in 2018, which effectively seals Noosa forever within a crescent of protected national parks and wildlife corridors.

Everyone is welcome at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville on 24 June to hear Dr Gloster tell the Yurol Ringtail story from the beginning.

The forum starts at 10.30am and morning tea is available at 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door which includes morning tea/coffee. We do ask that masks are worn to protect the vulnerable in our audience.

Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.

One of the longest running and most successful cabaret shows in Australia, Paris Underground, is set to take Noosa locals on a train ride like no other.

The must-see performance is a part of this year’s Noosa Alive Festival Program, with two shows to choose from Paris Underground Express at 5pm and Paris Underground (full version) at 8pm.

Producer Julia Madotti said they have now been running the show for nine years with the same cast.

“The show started in Melbourne at a cabaret club and it was supposed to be for one night only,“ Julia said.

“Richard Vegas and I produced the show and wrote the story together.

“The show went from running for six weeks, to eight weeks, and now to nine years.“ Julia said the cast just fell into place when they were putting it together.

The cast includes the beauty and grace of circus artiste and aerial angel Hannah Trott, the dynamic punch and rare skill of tap king Eden Read, the in demand charming chanteuse, singer and actor Aurora Kurth; and the comedic and devilishly handsome Richard Vegas.

Not to forget Julia, who has had a long standing career as a magician, cabaret and performance artist and is one of the few female illusionists in Australia. She has performed professionally in Germany, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia, including many prestigious venues such as The Sydney Opera House and The Forum Theatre in Melbourne.

“I think I recognised being a magician and a performer as getting in touch with my shadow or my other side,“ Julia said.

“It was a character I always knew that was deep within me somehow.“ Witness astounding acts of magic and illusion, spectacular tap dancing, brilliant burlesque, breath taking aerials, quirky circus and incendiary song in a classic European cabaret and variety show.

“Being from Victoria, and being locked up for quite a while during Covid, we’ve learnt that you need to get out and do these things when you’ve got the opportunity,“ Julia said.

“I think everyone will really love this show. So go and get your tickets for a fun night with us.“ Enter the Paris Underground and journey through the dark delights of the city of light.

Come Together ‘worth it’ Noosa Come Together festival has established itself on the Noosa calendar with attendance at this year’s event exceeding all expectations.

Now in its sixth year, the festival began in 2016 from humble beginnings when a group of enthusiasts joined together to raise funds to ensure the Sailability sailing program for children and people with disabilities would continue on the Noosa River.

The inaugural event raised $10,720, which ensured the continuation of the program for another year, and last year the event raised $25,000.

Organiser Oz Baldon said this year’s funds were still to be calculated, taking into account increased outgoings including skyrocketing insurance expenses and having to source carnival rides last minute from NSW after previous arrangements fell through.

“I was up at 1am the night before thinking why do I do it to myself, but the next day, it was all worth it,“ he said.

Oz said the proceeds would be donated to Sailability for the 2023 Disability Sailing program, plus Riding for the Disabled and the Disability Surfing Association.

The event provides an affordable day out for local families, and from across the coast.

Activities included children’s rides, international food stalls, two music venues showcasing local and disabled artists in addition to wellbeing and lifestyle stallholders.

Its sponsors include Laguna Realty, Coast 2 Coast Earthmoving, Hutchinson Builders, Nomad Tents and Zinc FM and many donors of items for auction.

For more information visit Noosa Come Together website or Facebook.

Crowds came out in sunny weather to enjoy the entertainment.

Bands rocked the festival.

Many danced to the beat on Gympie Terrace.

SPORT NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Noosa masters are stars when Noosa’s Jo Mathews – world-ranked butterfly exponent – boarded the red eye plane for Perth. She was Noosa’s sole representative in the west, but made a mighty impact. In nine events Jo collected five gold, a silver and three bronze medals.

Wearily packing medals in her bag, Jo began the 5000 kilometre journey to Cairns. There, 18 Noosa teammates were already warming up in the superb Tobruk Memorial pool.

Notably, on day one of competition, the Tobruk heritage was invoked in a moving speech

by Miami Masters’ Jay Neville.

Jay drew attention to the words emblazoned on the poolside pillars - courage, mateship and sacrifice - and commended their value in life beyond the fields of war.

Over three days of competition, the Noosa tally grew to 88 individual medals, while 13 relay teams achieved podium finishes. Perhaps most gratifying was the fact that every Noosa swimmer medalled at least once. A fine finale to a month of competition across the continent.

By Brian Hoepper It seems Noosa Masters swimmers have answered Kipling’s call to ‘fill every unforgiving minute with 60 seconds’ worth of distance run.

In one crowded month, the Noosa flag has flown at the national championships in Sydney, the Australian Masters Games in Perth and the Queensland state championships in Cairns.

Shrugging off the lockdown mentality of recent years, Noosa took on challengers from clubs across the nation, all eager to embrace the new normal of post-pandemic life.

The results were impressive. In Sydney, the nine Noosa clubmates won 27 individual medals, while two relay teams also medalled.

They competed in the famously fast Sydney Olympic Park pool, awash with memories of the smashing guitars relay at the 2000 Olympics. Perhaps prompted by that history, most of the Noosa team swam personal bests (PBs) in favoured events.

The Sydney celebrations had barely finished

Well, finally the weather gods smiled down upon us. No matter what your style of fishing we all had a chance to enjoy some amazing weather.

Offshore, we had mackerel, snapper, tuna, sweetlip, trout, cobia and a pile of other reef fish. Most anglers stayed in close from Sunday onward due to the westerly winds and found places like Sunshine, Sunrise, Arkwright shoal, Coolum reef and of course north from the Noosa bar toward and including Double Island the better places to be.

The building tides and clean waters have driven in the bait and the fish have followed.

For tuna anglers and mackerel many got into the action by casting a simple Gillies baitfish slug around 15-20 grams. If this is you and are having trouble with distance, be sure to load up your reel with a quality casting braid to help you reach the schools. Take a look at Shimano Grappler and YGK X-Braid.

For those not casting at tuna, the ganghooked pilchard has claimed many great fish including some big Spanish which will continue to hang around throughout June.

Other fish on most anglers’ lips have to be snapper. Generally speaking the perfect eating size are pan size or those around 50cm with trophy fish best returned. For those looking to land a snapper while the waters are super clean you are best to use 20-25lb leaders on lighter rods like the Shimano Raider snapper series.

Surf fishing is seeing some jewies and a few reports of tailor are starting to come through.

Although not plentiful it’s great to see they are coming in and appear to be getting caught during the daytime. These fish are taking pilchards with jewies taking mullet and squid after dark. If fishing baits for jew you are best to use a snell rig with 5/0 and 7/0 octopus circle hooks and 60lb leader. For those of you with

baitrunner reels there is nothing like seeing a big fish tear off with your line before engaging the reel to start the fight so be sure to bring them in for a fresh spool of line.

The Noosa river is seeing an influx of trevally and even some queenfish. These fish are taking small metal jigs retrieved at speed around the lower estuary area. Try your luck around Gympie Terrace and the Noosa Sound region. For those who are land based you are best to focus efforts around the sand bags and the dog beach.

If flicking p[plastics and working lures close to the bottom, then you can try small minnow style baits like the Zerek flash minnow.

Flathead continue to turn up in good numbers with plenty of smaller 45-50cm fish holding around the mouth during he run out tides.

With the water still running darker you can fish heavier leaders in the 12lb range and try heavy vibration lures like the storm ultra-blade in 10 gram sizes.

Lastly the dams and lakes in the region are still up at 100 per cent capacity and are fishing hard. The previously mentioned blades and micro jigs all work well when the bass are hard to tempt during cold conditions. Keeping baits and lures small is important during the winter as fish often only require a small feed. Try to fish in area that receive the most sun and work all weed beds in the immediate area as weed can hold water which warms by several degrees making this a favored spot for bass to hold.

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.

From footy to golf John Curtiss says it was an injury playing Aussie Rules football in Melbourne that made him a golfer. And retiring to Noosa, he believes, made him a better one.

Like most young blokes growing up in Melbourne, John played footy on Saturdays – until he suffered a painful bulging disc in his lower back.

“When I could no longer play football I turned to golf,” he said.

“Somehow swinging a golf club didn’t seem to bother my back.”

John was very much a social golfer in those days, getting out with his mates for a hit once a month or so.

It wasn’t until he moved to Noosa in 1999 that he started playing more regularly, initially at the Noosa par three course. Later he joined Tewantin Noosa – near where he’d settled - got a handicap, practiced a little and started to play the game more seriously.

“It was the outdoor lifestyle that attracted us to the Sunshine Coast,” John said.

“We had three young kids and figured this was a great place to bring them up.

“It’s a decision we’ve never regretted.”

Though he says he still doesn’t take golf all that seriously, his game is certainly trending in the right direction.

Three weeks ago, John scored 39 points to win Noosa’s Tuesday Club B grade competition against pretty strong competition. That cost him a stroke and he found himself in A grade last week.

No problem for John. Playing off 12, he tallied 41 points to win again – against even stronger company.

Even more impressive, his 41 points included two wipes and two one-pointers.

“I’m not a natural golfer by any means,” said John.

“But playing every week, as I do, helps you focus better and you naturally improve.

“I just enjoy playing with my mates,” he said.

“I don’t hit it as far as I used to, but I just struck it well on Tuesday and I didn’t have more than two putts on any hole.”

John plays only on Tuesdays, helping his three sons run the family’s Hastings Street bar, Little Sister, during the rest of the week.

The bar opened in Noosa Junction in 2017 and relocated to Hastings Street 18 months ago.

Though Covid severely restricted trade during the past two years, John says things are looking up for Little Sister.

He describes his own role in the operation as behind the scenes and he leaves his boys to manage and service the bar. But he says it’s all good fun and he clearly enjoys the relationship he has with his sons.

Floods cost Cooroy dearly Cooroy Golf Club will spend more than $50,000 to repair the damage caused by this year’s floods and heavy rain.

And that doesn’t include the cost of the time put in by staff and volunteers.

The club spent $23,000 on two 40 foot container bases to use as new bridge decks after floods washed away bridges on the sixth and 18th holes.

The bases will arrive shortly and repair work will begin as soon as the fairways are firm enough to allow heavy equipment onto the course.

Grants, including one of $4910 from the Queensland Disaster Recovery Program and $15,000 from the State Government, will help offset some of the flood restoration costs, as will donations and proceeds from an ongoing flood raffle.

The raffle has already raised more than $5000.

Lost revenue as a result of the course and clubhouse being closed for an extended period has been estimated at between $150,000 and $200,000.

On a more positive note, April trading was

Golfers need to identify their strengths and play to them to avoid their weaknesses.

The better you know your own game, the better you can then adapt to the course.

Noosa Springs juniors back on top Noosa Springs Division 1 junior pennant team, the defending champion, rocketed to the top of this year’s standings after a comprehensive 3-1 defeat of cross-town rival Noosa in a high quality contest at Maroochy River on Sunday.

Brilliantly led by sisters Sunday and Coco Moore, who both remain unbeaten in this year’s competition, Noosa Springs seemed to be in command throughout the morning.

Sunday beat Noosa’s Madison Kelly, a former Noosa Springs member, 5 & 3, Coco beat Nate Jackson 3 & 2, and Jasmine Lena was too strong for Noosa’s Max Rogers, beating him 4 & 2. Noosa’s Shane Dunning prevented a clean sweep by beating Noosa Springs’ newcomer Alex Bray 3 & 1.

In Division 2, Noosa Springs beat Headland 2.5 to 1.5 following wins by James McCulloch (5 & 3) and Angus Thomson (5 & 3), and a tied match to Josh Bell.

Noosa’s Division 2 team lost its spot atop the standings to Mt Coolum, after losing 2.5 to 1.5. Noosa’s winner was Declan Hudson, while Nathan Roper tied his match with Mt Coolum’s Rory Habermann.

Next week’s round of junior pennant matches will be played at Headland, beginning at 7am. Full details of all matches can be found at sunshinecoastgolf.org Full field for Cooroy Open A full field is likely to contest this year’s Cooroy Men’s Open on Sunday.

The response to this year’s signature event has been strong despite the weather which has affected all Sunshine Coast courses.

The field was capped at 116, and there has been strong interest from players from other clubs.

Club officials say that despite the rain, the

work put in by greens staff and volunteers will ensure the course is in great shape.

The 18-hole stroke event begins with a shotgun start at 8am.

Meanwhile, the Cooroy Women’s Open has been postponed until Friday July 22.

Ladies take golf spotlight The second leg of this year’s Noosa Springs Ladies Golf Series takes place on Tuesday July 5. That’s when the ladies play 18 holes of golf in the morning, and follow up with a gourmet lunch, complete with sparkling wine, in the clubhouse.

And there’s also the chance to win a halfday session at one of Australia’s best day spas.

This year’s series concludes on December 6. Those who play in two legs will be in the running for the major prize – a Half Day Spa Escape, which includes a Thermal Suite Experience and a choice of massage, facial or sugar scrub, plus four rounds of golf in an electric cart.

The cost for golf and lunch is $49 for Noosa Springs’ members, $94 for social and reciprocal members, and $104 for visitors.

Dolphins juniors pushed At last, a dry round on dry grounds and the Noosa Dolphins Juniors gave round eight all they had around the sun-shining Coast.

U12s by player Alex Bingham The U12 Dolphins faced off against the Eumundi Dragons for the second time this season in a friendly match. It was an all-out fierce battle between the two teams, but Noosa took out a classic victory, 51-29.

The first half began with the Dragons striking down the left wing, scoring a great try.

The boys were not going to give up too early in the match, so they hit back after pressuring the Dragons with some great tackles from Ash Eller and Ollie Hammond, and great play from all. The Dolphins led 20-5 at half-time.

In the second half, the U12s continued to snatch lots of penalties off Eumundi, with efforts from Max Taylor and Siem Van Velzen as they kept adding to the scoreboard pressure on the Dragons.

After lots of consistent tries the Dolphins led 51-5.

The game was totally in the Dolphins’ hands until they let the infringements pile on top of each other and the Dragons placed four tries on the U12s.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, it finished 51-29. Everyone played very well and had done the perfect job executing a great win. The lads will face the Nambour Toads next week.

U11s What a difference one week can make.

After a slow start to the season, and with six boys down with injury and illness, we knew we were up against it and against a big Caloundra side.

The boys, to their credit, came out firing and were rewarded with an early try down the blind side to Manus. With excellent ball retention and go forward (George, Mac and Noa), the boys (Luke and Lenni), put on two more tries to lead Caloundra 3-1 at halftime.

Aware that Caloundra would throw the kitchen sink at us in the second half, the boys kept attacking. The boys posted another three tries to finish the game 6-1 tries.

All players were much improved. Special thanks to parents who showed strong vocals on the sidelines.

U10s - Reds The U10s Reds team faced off against a revvedup Matthew Flinders outfit in Nambour during round eight.

The boys managed to hold off the opposition, with the flankers and wings maintaining the line well and resulting in some great runs from Max, Zac and Caesar.

After some rousing half-time motivation from coach Chris, the boys lifted to show real spirit and teamwork in the second half. There was a flurry of tries, with Raff, Duke and Max among others managing to get over the line.

Tommy’s conversion game was on point yet again this week.

There were two Domino’s Players of the Match this week in Raff and James. Special mention to Ollie who displayed great sportsmanship. Well done boys.

U10s - Fins by coach and Poet, Dylan Tasker: This week the Fins had the Swans in their sight, Two Sunshine Coast glamour clubs, the match was expected to be tight.

Maroochydore renowned for being uncompromising and tough, The boys were ready and relished the tumble and rough.

Leading the team into battle for today’s crunch game, Captain Bailey Calcraft had a blinder, remember the name.

Maroochydore was ambushed from the opening kick, As the Fins surged forward and made their tackles stick.

Sustained pressure on the Swans try line finally told, As Perry crossed in the corner with a dummy well sold.

The team was decimated through injury and illness, Boys were playing out of position with poise and assuredness.

Player of the match went to Lennox for his tackle busting run, Indicative of the team’s effort for the game well won.

A Herculean effort from the Fins today.

Despite the adversity they had the final say.

U9s On a brisk sunny morning the Under 9 Noosa Dolphins ran out against a much-fancied opposition, the Grammar Whites.

The game started at a furious pace with the Dolphins having trouble exiting their half, with the Whites going in for an early try. From the kick-off, Ben made serious inroads through the opposition defence.

A series of linking plays saw beautiful hands

U11s Luke McCready with the ball. from Sol, Leo and Monty passing it on to Mason to break away for the equaliser, scoring the first of five tries to a rampaging Mason.

The Dolphins had gained the upper hand by now, and we saw strong work from Maxwell in tight.

Zac did some soaring work in the lineout.

Hudson and Monty were forever doing the hard yards both with the ball and in defence.

Our boys played all over for the remainder of the half with further tries to Mason, Ben and Tom. Grammar ran in four quick ties after half time before Mason scored another fine try.

Hugo stood up and was counted with some incredibly strong defence as the Dolphins clawed their way back into the match.

The remainder of the match was an arm wrestle with both sides trading tries, with the final play of the match being a try-saver from Tom to see a final score of nine tries all, but no one was counting.

It was an exhilarating game of rugby from both teams which kept the capacity crowd on their feet for the full 80 minutes. Congratulations to Harvey and Monty being shared and well-deserved Domino’s players of the match.

U7s First up were the U7s Fins kicking off early on

a brisk Saturday morning at Matthew Flinders College. It didn’t take long for the Fins to turn up the heat by finding plenty of holes in Caloundra Gold’s defence to score a tonne of runaway tries led by Fitzy, Jake, Cisco and Atlas.

Elora had some fantastic kick-offs along with both Eddie and Jaxon showing some great skills in defence, which made it very difficult for Caloundra to break through and score.

The U7s Reds had a magnificent morning at Flinders College.

Once again, the Reds proved too strong for the brave Maroochydore Swans, who were short on players and helped by the Dolphins’ Arlo H in the first half and Toby in the second.

Archer equalled his record with a four-try haul against the Swans.

Josh and Lennon showed their silky skills out in the open field.

Mr Versatile Toby was ever-present (even when playing for the opposition) and Jayden’s big runs in the middle made a huge difference for the Reds on the day.

Arlo H was on form on the fringes and James earned Domino’s player of the day for some magic moments both on attack and defence.

Table tennis nailbiter final Finals night at the Noosa Table Tennis Club can be full of surprises.

However, the warm favourites on the night were the Magicians who had dominated proceedings during the rounds and were expected to prevail over their less credentialled rivals, the Crackers.

Spectators didn’t have to wait long for the first upset of the night.

It came in the first match when wannabe Moses Kim (Magicians) just got home against heavyweight Greg Yu (Crackers) winning 11-9 in the fifth game.

Magicians were now in the box seat. In a clash between two rising junior stars, the more experienced 15-year-old Peter Enklemann (Magicians) took out 13-year-old Blake Wyer (Crackers), 3 games to 1, to bring the score to 4 all. It was still anyone’s game.

Both teams spent the night shadowing each other. Neither team could get a break on their adversaries. And no stage did either team get more than one match ahead of the other.

Coming up to the last match of the night, Magicians found themselves in the invidious position of being 10-9 down – they would need to the win the last doubles to square the contest.

Luckily Rita Malik and Peter Enklemann

Winners Bernhard Trauer, Jonas Campbell, Peter Enklemann, Rita Malik and Moses Kim. (Magicians) were able to pull the fat out of the fire. They comfortably took care of doubles combination James Zhang and Blake Wyer (Crackers) 11-9, 11-7, 11-5. The Magicians had hung on.

So at the end of the night, Magicians and

Crackers were locked together at 10 matches all. Only a countback could separate them.

Even then Magicians could only squeeze pass their rivals by the narrowest of margins, finally triumphing 44 games to 43.

Man of the match, John Nilsson had done

the heavy lifting for the Crackers winning his three singles and both his doubles matches.

But in the end, it was not enough.

Noosa table tennis is on at the Noosa leisure centre from 6.30pm every Wednesday. All are welcome.

For overall Division 1 Monohull first place went to Ken and Lee Bubb on Cool Bubbles, second place getter was Flying Fish with Peter Shaw and Kay Muir and third was Michelle and Ava McAndrew on Topaz.

Kay Muir from the sailing committee said they had postponed the event from a previous date due to gale force winds but conditions on Saturday were much better.

“We had a great sail on Saturday with twenty monohulls and multihulls coming from Hervey Bay and Sunshine Coast and even one from Melbourne.”

“The mark at Inskip Point was hard to find as it was straight in the sunshine, but it was a beautiful day with nice westerly winds,

Vice Commodore of Tin Can Bay Yacht Club John Machin, Patron Robyn Cook, The 2022 Century 21 Cooloola Cup winner Mitchell Foley and Anthea Cush from Century 21 so we were able to have a spinnaker start.”

On Sunday however there was no wind, only a zephyr according to Kay, and at 11.30 they decided to abandon the race.

“Five minutes later the breeze came up but still, a good time was had by all.”

“We want to thank all our sponsors for their generous prizes especially to Century 21 for their major sponsorship and Tin Can

Bay Chandlery for their money and vouchers.

“Thank you to all our volunteers including our officer of the day, timekeepers and safety boat volunteers who all donated their time to help the event.

“Saturday night at the Yacht Club was well attended with participants and friends and family and its a great feed.”

The Ray White Noosa Dolphins are reaching crunch time if they want to move up the ladder with only six matches left to play in the 2022 Sunshine Coast Rugby competition.

Holding fourth spot, the Dolphins are 11 points behind third-placed Maroochydore, Noosa’s opponents this weekend.

In a rebuilding year, supporters have been pleased with the effort and growth in combinations to date, however, that improvement needs to convert into points and this weekend’s annual John Currey Shield provides that perfect opportunity.

With the two previous encounters between the two teams only having a margin of one point and five points, the two sides are evenly matched with coach Matt Buckland telling Noosa Today that the players were very much looking forward to some consistent rugby, having only played two matches in the past five weeks due to washouts and the representative bye weekend.

“It has been far from ideal, but that is behind us now and it is up to us to take advantage of the next four matches being at home. “Add to that, this weekend, we are honouring our 30, 20 and 10 year teams, all three making the grand final with the 1992 and 2002 taking out the premiership,” Buckland said.

The move this week of big Jeff Ikani from number eight to inside centre will be spectacle in itself.

Ikani, who joined the Ray White Dolphins this year, has generated a cult following with his powerful ball carries and surges through the defence since his arrival.

A bumper crowd cheered on the Tigers last weekend.

Mixed results for Tigers

By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers went down by 13 points in a very entertaining QAFL match of the day against Gold Coast heavyweights Labrador last Saturday at Rococo oval.

On a glorious day weather wise and in front of a bumper crowd, the game ebbed and flowed throughout its entirety with the local lads actually holding the biggest margin of the day (20 points) five or six minutes prior to the main break, only to see the Labrador machine kick the final four goals of the quarter and go into the half time break with a slender lead.

The second half was a beauty with both sides on the attack, however, the defence of the eventual victors was just too well set up in the end.

Particually late in the game, it was all Noosa who continually pushed the ball inside its forward 50, only to find a fortress of Labrador defenders set up beautifully behind the footy to save the day.

While it was Noosa’s second loss in a row, the boys, although disappointed, can hold their heads up high in what was a terrific standard of QAFL footy enjoyed by all that were there.

Noosa’s best player was again Connor McDonald whose consistency must not be understated. The ruckman come running ruck rover was everywhere on Saturday, contesting wher-

Skipper Aaron Laskey once again continued his fine season with another typical hard as nails, inside ball winning display. Midfield bull Tommy Rourke, also a great help for Laskey, with his ball winning ability around stoppages. Fitzpatrick and Baulch flashed in and out of the contest with brilliance trying to spark a Noosa victory whilst Ethan Johnston up forward was as busy as usual.

Big Aaron Wilson continued his terrific form with another standout game once again showing the work rate required at this level while his fellow key defender Lachy Flagg continued to show why he was so sought after in the pre season with another fine performance in defence.

The loss places the Noosa Tigers fifth of the QAFL ladder with Brisbane powerhouse Morningside to play at home this Saturday from 2pm.

A massive thank you to all the Ainslie crew (about 35 of them) who ventured up over last weekend to show support for the Tigers and in particular Chris Rourke (who coached Ainslie for 15 years) and also to a Jimmy Buckley and Mal Brown who entertained us at the president’s lunch last Saturday which was a true classic.

Brendan Fevola is our guest speaker this Saturday, with tickets selling fast.

Good luck to all those wearing the Noosa Tiger guernsey this weekend.

Media award votes: 5. C.McDonald 4. A.Laskey 3. A.Wilson 2. L.Flagg 1. T.Rourke Noosa Tigers women travelled down the highway for the third week in a row to compete against Alex Hills on Saturday evening and were met with a far improved Alex Hill team from the one played in round one.

From the outset our backs stood up with some strong defence not allowing Alex Hills to kick any goals. This was a fantastic effort given the ball spent the majority for the first quarter

in the opposition forward.

Amelia Monk, Kellie Barker, Jess Trompf and Sacha Smail were steady and strong in defence.

Coach Trompf, delivering some inspiring words at quarter time, spurred the girls on to give and protect each other and Noosa was able to create chances for Shauna Kelly and Lauren Vaughan who were good in front of goal.

A terrific snap goal by Ruby Hamilton gave the Tigers a 20-point lead heading into the final quarter.

Courtney Dial’s marking prowess across the ground was impressive, and she finished with a goal to her name.

Keirra Trompf was consistent as always in the ruck and was strong in both attack and defence.

Amelia Monk was outstanding at centre half back, stopping all efforts of the opposition to penetrate the forward line.

Kiana Welsh (Hop) who has had a cracking start to the season looked dangerous all night in the forward line with plenty of opportunities and kicked an amazing goal.

Noosa Tigers finished 38-point victors and now look forward to a home game against Northshore, at Rococo Oval, Saturday 18 June at 4.45pm, we would love to see all our supporters come down and cheer us on.

A big day out for Pirates

By Ron Lane For the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club last Saturday was definitely full on.

Starting at midday, they hosted the visiting Beerwah Bulldogs to an afternoon of rugby league. Also prior to the commencement of the main game, they entertained their major sponsors to an afternoon luncheon in a welldeserved gesture of thanks and respect for their ongoing support.

In his welcome speech to guests, club president Paul Dwyer emphasised the opinion of his management when he said, “We at management consider our sponsors to be the life blood of the club. We are repetitively reminding our players that if it wasn’t for them, we would not be where we are today. The very fact that they continue to be supportive is of course of the utmost importance. So, to these people we offer our sincere thanks and best wishers in the times ahead.”

Out on the playing field the main game between the A grade teams kicked off at 6pm.

The first 15 minutes saw a very aggressive Bulldogs maintain possession. With Pirates centre field defence being somewhat ragged, leaving holes for the opposition forwards to penetrate, the Bulldogs opened the score with a converted try. Bulldogs 6, Noosa 0.

For the Bulldogs, fullback Connah Mills showed plenty of speed and twice broke Pirates defence centre field.

Then again in the 22 minute Bulldogs scored when loose defence from 10m out resulted in a converted try. Bulldogs 12, Noosa 0.

Noosa finally hit back when skipper Alex Copelin took an intercept from 10m out to run the length of the field to score a try which was converted. Bulldogs 12, Pirates 6.

Beerwah then took a penalty in Pirate territory to see them go into the halftime break with a lead of 14-6.

The second half saw a more aggressive attacking attitude from Pirates forward pack, resulting in a converted try by front rower Ruben Peau. Bulldogs 14, Pirates 12.

Bulldogs came back strong and following a crosskick on the fifth tackle, scored in the corner to give them a 20-12 lead. From then on it was Bulldogs day. Their more aggressive play saw them take control and again the lack of tight defence by Pirates in centre field left them in tatters. This resulted in a final score of Beerwah Bulldogs 38, Noosa Pirates 12.

Pirates head coach Brett Winkler congratulated Bulldogs on their win. ‘’We were unlucky to have to replace two players at halftime. We also lost some because of Covid. The Dogs were just too strong on the day.’’

In the lower grades it was also a mixed day for Pirates, losing to the Doggies in the women’s, Division2b and 2a.

But for Pirates the saving grace came with a good win in the U18: Pirates 48 Beerwah 10. It is the U18s grade that a lot of coaches look upon for their future A graders as many come with a high school grounding in the finer points of rugby league.

Boxing Our local Team Impact Boxing Club at Cooroy, has done it again. This time with just 10 days short notice, Impacts Bryce Hegarty flew to Tasmania on invitation, to fight in the professional ranks: for the Light Heavyweight Championship of Tasmania. This saw Hegarty score a convincing TKO win in round six to give him the title.

For trainer Mark Evans (owner head coach at the Impact Club) it was a great win.

“Bryce boxed brilliantly. We had a game plan: to try and box from long range against our bigger and heavier opponent. Bryce stuck to the game plan and he picked his shots nicely scoring especially well with his right hand.

“At the end of round five our opponent Stuart Dare was looking tired on his feet. For round six, Bryce was given the instructions to increase the pressure and increase the work

rate, which he did.’’

This resulted in the ref stepping in and stopping the bout as Dare was out on his feet. ‘’Usually, we would be looking at least to a six-week preparation camp prior to a big fight like this. However, I have always worked on a policy of making sure that all our boxers are always in the gym, keeping fit and ready to go if needed. Because Bryce works in the gym as a PT instructor and trains at least five times a week, this enables him to maintain a high level of fitness, thus, the very short notice wasn’t a problem.

“On fight night we felt as though we had walked into a lions’ den. There was a crowd of a thousand cheering for the local boy. “Times like this, with just a small support group in our dressing room, we really felt that we were preparing for war.”

For an up-and-coming young fighter to win his first state title could be the start of bigger things to come. Good luck to our local lad.

Martial arts For those involved in the world of Martial Arts, in this case Shotokan Karate, Noosa Club (training and studying under head Sensi Bryan Dukas 6th Dan) it has also been a very big and successful weekend.

On Saturday four members of the club, Sue Cameron, Pat Mannion, Jack Drew and Damion Mannion sat for their black belt grading. A major highlight, apart from the aspect of gaining the converted black belt, was the fact that on this occasion an international examiner from South Africa Mike Dukas ,Shihan 8th Dan (Shihan meaning: expert, master or senior instructor) was sitting on the panel overseeing the standard of the students.

After a gruelling morning/afternoon exam, the results were extremely good with all four candidates passing with high marks and Mike Dukas Shihan made comment on the high standard of the candidates.

While visiting Australia he will also be con-

ducting the WSKF (World Shotokan Karate Federation) examiner and instructors’ seminar and exams. This gives the opportunity for Karate instructors to improve their knowledge and understanding of Shotokan Karate -do.

And amongst those looking forward to updating and studying will be Nooses Bryan Dukas, the son of the esteemed visitor, Mike Dukas.

When we look back over the recent results of both the above- named sporting clubs, it would indeed be very gratifying for the parents of our community.

Should their children decide that they wish to pursue a career in one of the above clubs, they will train under some of the best: the discipline, coaching, guidance and leadership from Mark Evans and crew (boxing) and Brian Dukas and panel (karate.). The experience, knowledge and results they have accumulated over the years speak for themselves.

Many thanks and long may they continue to teach.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

WA’s Norm Bateman sneaks an old gut barrel, Wrecks 2016.

Good ole gals at the Wrecks.

Serious judging setup.

Wrecks are back in town I can’t quite believe it but Noosa Malibu Club’s Wrecks and Relics deadly serious surf comp for the over 50s is itself turning 18 this weekend.

How old that makes the pioneers of this great little event I shudder to think, but I wasn’t one of them. In fact I don’t think I made it along to the party until 2008 or ’09, but I haven’t missed one since, until now. (When you read this, I’ll be quietly having my own little contest against the Russian newbie wave hogs at Batu Balong or Pererenan River Mouth, and no doubt more about that next week).

But I’m bummed to be missing this event.

So much fun over the many years, and in the old-fashioned way of club comps in times gone by – just a tent on the beach with a battery megaphone and heat-starter horn (if you’re lucky), a marshal with the coloured jerseys at one end and a sausage sizzle at the other, and a few competitors squinting into the morning sun judging the heat before the heat before theirs.

Oh, and if you look closely enough you might find an Esky or two of chilled beverages for the last couple of heats of the day.

The simplicity speaks of a light-hearted approach to competitive surfing, but in fact, when the competitors are a bunch of guys and gals who have been clashing in contests for half a century or more, and there are plenty of old grudges to reheat, it can sometimes get quite intense out in the lineup. But nothing that can’t be sorted out with a hug and a beer or two later on the beach.

Ah, Wrecks and Relics, I’ll miss you this year, but I’ve dug up a few old shots from the archive to keep the spirit alive. And if you’re interested in checking out some serious seniors surfing, venues are First Point, Noosa West Beach or Castaways, depending on conditions.

Go for gold, Mono As I write, my good mate Mark Mono Stewart is competing at Queens, Waikiki in the Hawaiian Adaptive Surfing Championships, which marks the start of the Inaugural Adaptive Surfing World Professional Surfing Tour, and I think he’s wrapped it up.

After a perfect 10 and combo-ing the field in the semis, he would be odds-on to claim the title to add to his cluttered shelf of trophies which includes a bunch of world championships, but right now that’s to be confirmed.

As I’ve noted in this space before, the onelegged kneeboarder from Byron Bay is truly the GOAT of adaptive surfing, an inspirational human being whose contribution to surfing was recognized at the Surfing Australia Awards on the Gold Coast last month when he was made the inaugural Adaptive Surfer of the Year.

Unable to make the awards night, I contacted Mono with my congratulations and his response made me realise again just what a champion this bloke is.

Late last year when he was on his way to winning yet another world title at Pismo Beach, California, Mono noticed a small but growing cyst on his chest.

54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 June, 2022

Mono at work on another world title.

Mr and Mrs Mono celebrating in Hawaii.

Guru Dick with Gerry Lopez and Reno Abellira, 1970.

Dick and Sherry, 2019.

A guy who spent a year in hospital as a teenager after losing his leg to cancer is pretty much afraid of nothing, so he didn’t even mention it when he came up to Noosa to surf the January run of swells with me, but it was the beginning of a long period of uncertainty, from which he has only just emerged triumphant.

I was so stoked to hear that he was off to Hawaii with lovely wife Deb, chasing another title just weeks after yet another brush with mortality.

Long may you reign, Mono, and give ‘em hell at Queens!

Vale Dick Brewer Legendary surfboard shaper Dick Brewer died peacefully at home on the garden isle of Kauai late last month, after a long illness, wife Sherry and close family and friends at his bedside. He was 85.

Tributes popped up everywhere on social

shapes for surfers like Hakman, Gerry Lopez and Reno Abellira.

A Brewer gun “in mint condition” has always been a collector’s dream.

But Dick was also involved in a long-term difference of opinion with Australia’s Bob McTavish about who did what in the shortboard revolution, an argument that was resolved in 2010 with the release of the movie Going Vertical, and Brewer and McTavish sharing a conciliatory hug on stage at the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

I last saw Dick and Sherry at a dinner party in the hills above Honolulu in 2015. The elder statesman was resplendent in aloha shirt and several strings of leis, and we talked story for an hour or more.

Cantankerous at times, Dick could also be great company, and I’m glad that’s my lasting memory of him.

media, including many from the great surfers whose paths through life and tracks on waves he influenced.

Wrote 160s and ‘70s champion Jeff Hakman: “Dick Brewer, there is nobody I owe more to for getting me started in big waves on the North Shore than you. You were kind and generous and a real visionary! Your boards were by far the best, and in a class of their own in those early years. I’m fortunate to have known you and to have been your friend.“ “He was the guru, the man on the mountain, the shaper everybody knelt down before.

Figuratively, mostly, but I think maybe literally too!” wrote surf historian Matt Warshaw.

“Incredible guns, just Sabrejet-level equipment for North Shore surfers in the ’60s and ’70s.”

Brewer’s defining legacy will be the beautifully clean lines of his early shortboard gun

KNOWING WHEN POSITION COUNTS PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IT’S as if you are on holidays every day.

The intrigue and apprehension of using a locals-only path through the dunes to the beach.

Make your way down through the casuarinas and there, in front of you, is the surf breaking on the golden sand. To the north is Noosa National Park and away to the south is Pt Cartwright.

It’s a great location for those who want the lifestyle in arguably one of the best beachside positions in Sunshine ...

Arakoon Cres.

This is a flat, easy walk into the village and it gives the opportunity to use the offleash dog area or the beach where dogs are restricted.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, twocar beachside house at 40 Arakoon Cres goes to auction at 1pm on Saturday, July 2.

A one-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment at 8/7 Edward St, Noosaville, goes to auction at 12pm on Saturday, June 25. 284869

A three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car golf course home with pool at 502/61 Noosa Springs Dve, Noosa Heads, is set for auction on Saturday, July 2, at 11am. 284869 Real Estate colleague Roark Walsh, said people were surprised at how quiet the location is yet so close to the beach.

Early inquiries have been impressed by the northerly aspect as well as the options.

“People are telling me they want to enjoy the house as it is, while others want to renovate or even build a dream house ... it just depends on what they are looking for.

“It will be an interesting campaign.’’

There are views over a lush rainforest back garden to the ocean.

Inside, there is a bright, white beachy aesthetic and polished red ironbark flooring.

Living and dining spaces of varying scale, ceiling height and mood, open to outdoors where the large covered entertaining terrace incorporates a stainless-steel outdoor kitchen with oven and barbecue.

A HOME FOR ALL SEASONS It’s a beautiful home ... ideal for people wanting to downsize or professionals looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle in a secure location.

Julie Bengtsson of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the three-bedroom, threebathroom, two-car golf course home with pool at 502/61 Noosa Springs Dve, Noosa Heads, was very private and had hardly been used over the years of serving as a family holiday home.

Set for auction on Saturday, July 2, at 11am, it has a main bedroom alternative downstairs, and a 15m pool, courtyards and golf course outlook.

The landscaped north-side gardens seemingly stretch beyond the boundary to a waterlily-dotted lake and the 16th fairway.

“The whole house is light and bright,’’ Julie said.

“The double lock-up garage is extra long, which leaves space for quality golf buggy that will be included in the sale.

“They are impressed by the gated, 24hour security of Noosa Springs.’’

There have been early inquiries and Facetime walk-throughs of the home with local, Sydney, Melbourne and overseas interests.

A SENSE OF STYLE One hundred metres to the Noosa River and the Gympie Tce restaurant strip ... a stylish apartment in the well-regarded Rimini By The River has come to the market.

The one-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment at 8/7 Edward St, Noosaville, goes to auction at 12pm on Saturday, June 25.

Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate said there had been a strong start to the marketing campaign, particularly from local interest, Melbourne and Brisbane people wanting weekender.

With quality construction and excellent on-site managers, Rimini has always been well regarded, Melanie said.

“You are so close to everything.

“The unit is private within the complex, and is in lovely condition.’’

The apartment comes fully furnished, and has a full-sized kitchen, dining/lounge leading to a north-facing terrace, renovated bathroom, a laundry and undercover carport.

Another listing in Noosaville that Melanie has coming is a free-standing threebedroom, two-bathroom home in a prestige, gated enclave.

It is expected to be listed at offers in the mid $2m.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Friends and colleagues of former Laguna Real Estate identities Denis and Mandy Ashcroft will be interested to hear that a grandson is following in his father’s footsteps.

Marcus Ashcroft played with Brisbane Lions in their dream years of 2001, 2002 and 2003.

He has since made a career in Australian football administration at Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns, the AFL’s national talent pathways and now CEO with Sandringham in the Victorian Football League.

One of his sons, Will, is now headed to the draft process. Whether he ends up following the father-son path and goes to Brisbane is yet to be seen.

A LOT TO LIKE ABOUT EUMUNDI It’s something out of the box ... a fourbedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house on 700sq m corner block at 2 Brushbox Pl, Eumundi, has been listed for sale with Kathy Wise of Sunshine Beach Real Estate.

This elegant contemporary home, built in 2015, is positioned on a fully-fenced, northeast facing corner block directly opposite a leafy nature reserve.

It is positioned on the fenced 700sq m block to maximise natural light, elevation, gentle breezes, outlook, and privacy.

The house is deceptively large yet with room on the block for a pool or shed.

“It’s a quality build,’’ Kathy said, “and there is international interest, as well as locals looking to downsize, investors and some from interstate wanting to move here.

“They are keen to experience the Eumundi way of life.’’

The house features a covered alfresco entertaining patio, well-designed floor plan and extra-high ceilings.

There is a tenant in place and rental appraisal could be in the $650-$750 range.

Niches, pale polished floor tiles to, a soft curving feature wall of tumbled marble, and glass panes looking outward to the central courtyard, all add an elegant touch, yet exude modern luxury and timeless charm.

Naturally, with varying lofty ceiling heights, the living and dining spaces are drenched with sunshine and like every room have their own personality whilst most coalescing with outdoors, thanks to ‘disappearing’ glass sliders and an immediate connection.

Families will find the terrace enormously attractive as it extends along most of the pool out onto the lawn, while entertainers, who have the choice of the undercover terrace or the courtyard, will be enamoured with the kitchen. It is of course overgenerous and commensurate in size with the rest of the residence, has stone bench tops, an island bench or breakfast bar, plus all the bells and whistles needed to make every small or large occasion eventful.

On the easterly side of the hallway, also on this level, is a king mastersized bedroom with built-in robe, ensuite bathroom and doors opening to the courtyard. Perfect for morning tea one would think.

Upstairs, a multi-purpose open space has a bar, also study/office area hidden behind a wall of plantation shutters. It is also the entry to the twin/bunk-style bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite, on the south-side.

Another big winner is undoubtedly the master retreat, where it’s easy to while away the time looking over the garden, out to the golf course. It has a fashionista-style walk-in robe, and ensuite with spa bath to ‘bubble away’ the blues.

This slice of paradise, coupled with the unparalleled lifestyle and a world-renowned 18-hole golf course almost on your doorstep is yours at the classy enclave called The Ridge, which is part of Noosa Springs, a very smart gated estate, with inspired designed by renowned architects.

It is surrounded by community-spirited residents who appreciate 24-hour security,

prefer privacy, peace and tranquillity except for birdsong.

“Those who love golf will fully appreciate the location,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Julie Bengtsson who is taking the residence to auction on Saturday 2 July 2022.

“The address is in easy proximity to the Noosa Springs Golf & Spa clubhouse complex. The Graham Papworth-designed 5-star championship course, has pockets of rainforest, is surrounded by Lake Weyba, spring-fed lakes of Noosa Springs as well as the Noosa National Park with its abundance of flora and fauna, including koalas and kangaroos.”

PEREGIAN BEACH HOUSE, CLOSE TO SURF THERE is so much to love about an ohso cool, bright sunny north facing beach house nestled in botanical-style gardens.

It shrieks alfresco living every day, except when you are surfing and walking the dog at Peregian Beach, which is just 5-minutes away via a dedicated walking track.

From the lush streetscape, front garden adorned with agapanthus, rafus palms, frangipani and citrus trees, the spotted gum walkway and terrace to the entrance, all the hallmarks of the good life become clear.

Lime-washed-look flooring flowing throughout the natural light-drenched entertaining/living/dining areas, sets the beachy mood. It morphs indoors to out on the northerly side to a massive, very classy, covered timber terrace.

Abutting and adding a serious fun element to the tropical ambience is a terrace surrounding the dazzling pool and cabana, all fringed by lawn and plantings such as pandanus, spider lilies and stately palms.

Admire the firepit for those coolish nights and check out the storeroom, also the studio with French doors.

Central to indoors is the generous L-shaped kitchen with island bench doubling as a breakfast bar. It has all the bells and whistles for a budding cook to create a fancy dinner party or a casual lunch, plus looks out to terrace, gardens and pool area. Easy to see why family and friends enjoy it here!

The king master suite has wispy grey sheers, a sizeable walk-in robe and ensuite. There are three other bedrooms, one of which looks out to the front garden.

All share a very generous contemporary bathroom with a free-standing bathtub. As per the ensuite it has been renovated with on-trend brilliant white subway tiles and drencher showers.

“The street in understandably very sought-after especially for families,” comment Tom Offermann agents Cameron Urquhart and Tracy Russell.

“This residence exudes soulful character and just keeps on giving indoors and out.

Also, what is not to love about being on Nature’s doorstep, in other words the National Park with a 5-minute walking track to the beach or a short cycle to the boutiques, dining and cafe heart of Peregian Village, also Sunshine Beach and Noosa Main Beach.”

ON THE COVER

INIMITABLE ABSOLUTE LAGUNA BAY BEACHFRONT IF seaside glamour is all about a peerless incomparable position a few footsteps to the dazzling white sand pearlescence of Noosa Main Beach, as well as the sparkling shallows of Laguna Bay, and it has the sophisticated address of Hastings Street, well this is it.

Watch nature’s ever-changing visual tableaux unfold through the wide opening, ceiling-height windows which wrap the north-side of your lavish apartment. Fringed by distinctive pandanus in the lawn next to the boardwalk and the sand, it’s definitely about the rarity factor, when you consider this is one of only 36 three-bedroom apartments on the beachfront.

The custom-designed granite-topped dining space under the wide picture window, extends to the eastern side, where the window seemingly disappears morphing into an indoor/outdoor servery. What a perfect place to prop and enjoy breakfast after a swim in the ocean or the nearby pool.

Alternatively, for those with a penchant for entertaining, how about dinner alfresco on the expansive undercover terrace, accompanied by the sound of waves breaking onto the foreshore?

Commensurate with the high-end quality of the apartment, is the galley-style kitchen fit out and latest appliances.

There is a fresh aesthetic with sandyhued tiles throughout including the open plan living area, which is drenched with bright natural light, accesses the terraces, has a monochromatic palette with sumptuous sofas in muted grey, also designer artworks in tones of blue.

Off the hallway, are two good-sized bedrooms with built-in robes and twin king zip-single beds, which can be easily made into one. In-between is a family bathroom.

The generous master bedroom has plantation shutters, ensuite, dresser/ luggage rack, built-in robe, a television, and access to the undercover terrace.

“Apartments of this calibre commanding such presence on absolute beachfront, rarely come to market,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jesse Stowers and principal Tom Offermann who are taking the property to auction on

Saturday 25 June 2022. “There are 240 apartments on the beachfront, only thirtysix have three-bedrooms and this is one of the finest.

“Maison, a boutique complex formerly known as Maison La Plage, has retained its history of back-to-back, year-round bookings, making this a judicious one-off investment opportunity.”

UNIQUE NORTH FACING GEM WELCOME to this very unique North facing Noosa gem, only a short stroll to our pristine Noosa River. I say unique because it’s such a rarity to secure an opportunity in Noosa for under one million dollars.

Beautifully presented and maintained to a high standard, walk in and enjoy your delightful abode, with nothing at all to do, except enjoy the Noosa lifestyle. This two bedroom, one bathroom townhouse, offers so many opportunities.

Your ‘on title’ car park is merely footsteps to your Villa and the resort style swimming pool, complete with spa and luxury BBQ area is also close to your doorstep.

On entry, step off a spacious undercover patio, through the front door, where you will find the living area, leading into a dining area which opens onto a covered alfresco.

To the side, discover a modern kitchen, complete with bright white benchtops and stool seating. In addition, you have a large pantry and stainless-steel appliances with ample cabinetry space.

Wander upstairs to the generous size master bedroom, complete with a walk in robe and a charming north facing balcony, where you could enjoy reading a book over a glass of wine in the afternoon. The second bedroom is also upstairs, along with a lovely modern stylish bathroom.

This light, bright and airy charming abode exudes natural light and ample airflow. Security screens and sliders off every room, allow cooling breezes. Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout will ensure you feel comfortable all year round.

What I really love about this property is the close proximity to Noosa River and Sum Yung Guys, one of Noosa’s most iconic restaurants, well known nationally. In fact, this strip includes many trendy cafes including Little Cove Coffee Roaster, a scrumptious bakery and a very popular Thai

restaurant. If that’s not enough, Aldi is also next door to this special strip of cafes and restaurants.

TALLOW STAGE TWO RELEASE SETS SCENE THE recent stage one release of Tallow Residences highlights just how sought-after apartments in Noosa’s dress-circle Settler’s Cove precinct have become. Seven of the eight high-end luxury apartments were snapped up within weeks of release, and the buzz of interest continues still.

The good news for potential buyers is that the stage two release of these home-sized, owner-occupier apartments is coming soon. “We were bowled over by the immense interest in Tallow stage one,” says Development Manager, Shannon Gillard. “That’s why we recommend potential buyers register their interest in stage two now,” he says.

So what’s driving the swell of interest in this particular development? For starters, it’s the popularity of the Settler’s Cove precinct in itself. Centrally located yet secluded, and bounded by the Noosa River and native bush reserve, it has become one of Noosa’s most prestige addresses.

And then there’s the simple rarity of the release. These 22 off-the-plan apartments in the Tallow Residences are the absolute final to be built in the precinct. Given the success of neighbouring developments, Elandra, Riverlight, Iluka, Emerald, Lumina and L2, it’s a very rare opportunity indeed to buy off-the-plan in this landmark Noosa property success story.

Beyond that is the design of the apartments themselves that draws on the exceptional design ethos and construction expertise gained from earlier developments in the precinct.

Each of these wonderfully spacious home-sized apartments boasts over 200

sqm of internal living area plus generous outdoor balcony spaces. The open-plan living areas combined with the elevated views across the surrounding conservation bushland and broader hinterland are

designed to provide an intimate connection with the surrounding landscape and make the most of the beautiful Noosa weather.

Construction on the final 22 Tallow Apartments is due to begin later this year

with completion expected in early 2024.

You can find out more about the apartment layouts and features and how to register your interest by visiting TallowResidences.com.au. ●

PRESTIGE LOCATION TUCKED away in one of Sunshine Beach’s bluest of blue-chip neighbourhoods, is this double storey, rare oceanside jewel, on a leafy 616m2 block, showcasing coral sea views to the north-east from the upper deck – absolutely ripe for a re-imagining through renovation or remove and build a-new your lifestyle masterpiece, this passion project is just literally footsteps to the sand and surf!

Across two levels the home comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, separate living areas including huge rumpus, lightfilled kitchen, expansive upper deck, covered patio on lower level, laundry/bathroom combo, and double lock up garage.

Whilst the home is in need of some love and attention, it is not without its own original character and warmth, with existing features including raked timber lined ceilings and timber floors on upper level, timber staircase, ceiling fans, built-in brick bar in rumpus, ceiling fans, and direct deck access from master bedroom.

The gardens are a blend of tropical and native vegetation, including the coconut

palms planted by the first owner – they create a sanctuary-like ambience that enhances privacy, and could also benefit from a green thumb to truly maximise appeal as well as ocean outlook.

Direct beach access is just 100 metres away – and its only 550 metres to the surf club and 600 metres to the iconic village dining and shopping hub; as well as walking distance to a dog- friendly stretch of beach where you and your furry family member can make new friends, and Noosa National Park with its resplendent natural beauty and variety of walking trails, is also walking distance.

Investor owner has held since 2006 and has now made the discerning decision to sell; the Sunshine Beach property market is among the most desirable along the eastern seaboard, and properties with the potential of this one attract masses of attention. You cannot overcapitalise in this prestigious pocket – get creative and reap the lifestyle rewards, along with assured capital gain across all market conditions.

· Renovation/Rebuild opportunity in a premium street · Double storey, solidly built home on leafy 616m · Ocean views to the north-east, potential to maximise vista · 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, separate living 2

areas incl: rumpus

· Expansive upper deck + covered patio on ground floor · Raked timber lined ceilings + timber floors on upper level · 100m to the beach + short walk to surf club & village · Outstanding blue-chip location, unlimited potential! ●
