Noosa Junction abuzz with electric travel options Noosa Junction was buzzing with electric vehicles on Sunday when the Noosa Electric Vehicle Expo and Street Fest showcased the latest in electric vehicle technology.

Among the many displays was a project devised by Coolum teacher John Fuller for Sunshine Beach State School Year 6 students to explore the electric car phenomena using

battery operated remote-controlled cars and the concept of a 35km travelling ranges. “It taught them a bit about electric vehicles, a bit about geography and a bit about

tourism,” Mr Fuller said. “It gets kids thinking about the future.” Story page 5

Two years of Covid and rising rents proved too much for business operators Bob and Bridgit Conway who will farewell their Gympie Terrace newsagency on 30 June, warning there will be many more as local business owners fall victim to a tightening financial squeeze. “We’re a really good example of where things are at the moment,“ Bob said. The couple have run Newsextra Noosaville for the past 13 years in the premises that has been a newsagency since 1985. Their depar-

ture ends an 81-year tradition of newsagencies on Gympie Terrace since the first one opened in 1939. The business was a seachange dream for the Conways that had become a reality until the pandemic changed the game. “I wanted to have the coastal lifestyle,“ Bob said. “We came from Central Queensland. I’d been in the mining and construction industries. We love it here. “It was like this garden of Eden.

“We’ve come through two years of Covid. Anybody in retail will tell you it’s been a nightmare. But they don’t like telling you that. They don’t want to advertise they’re struggling. “We’re country people. We’ll tell you straight. We’ve taken the punches. We’ve had good support from the community. “Noosa is set up to be busy. When we’re not busy, times get tough. Locals give you support but it’s not enough.“ Bob said for two years when tourist numbers dropped during Covid, the couple shouldered the losses and waited for it to pass, but

as southerners moved to Noosa and real estate prices soared, rents also soared. “Landlords in Noosa do not take backward steps,“ Bob said. “They want retailers to take all the pain,“ he said. “We can’t afford to be here. “It hurts. We paid good money for this investment. We got no return on the investment. It’s a sign of the times. Continued page 3

Council workers direct the flow of Burgess Creek to its former path.

Quick action taken on Burgess Creek It took Noosa Council workers just a day to realign the mouth of Burgess Creek at Sunrise Beach to its former path after a redirection following the February floods forced the creek to flow northward eroding sand dunes toward the David Low Way before emptying into the ocean. After residents raised concerns about the impact of the redirection, as reported in Noosa Today last week, and an assessment was made by Council, bulldozers and excavators arrived onsite on Monday to fix the creek flow with work ongoing during the week to address the dune erosion.

Hotel alternative released By Jim Fagan A counter proposal to the recently announced plan to build a $50 million luxury hotel at Noosa Springs Resort and Spa has been prepared by local homeowners. They hope to discuss their alternative options with councillors before the developer’s proposal, lodged by Adamson Town Planning, is considered by Noosa Council at its August meeting. More than 400 objections and a 21-point public impact statement from residents of Noosa Springs, Parkridge, the Oasis and Elysium were made to the council in January when the plan by Hong Kong developer Golden Horse Nine Dragon Lake Holdings to develop a 112-room hotel with three tennis courts and two swimming pools was announced. Since then, the residents have collaborated with Sydney hospitality experts Five Foot One Design to develop an alternative proposal which reduces the developer’s original plan by about one-third. “Five Foot One Design are leading hospi-

tality designers whose work includes projects at the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Botanical Gardens and Centennial Park,” spokesman for the objectors and Noosa Springs resident, John Cochrane, told Noosa Today.

John, an architect who specialises in residential, commercial and hospitality developments, said the design company was also expert in the design of complex projects in iconic environments. Instead of 112 rooms, the residents’ alternative proposal accommodates up to 65 luxury units with individual plunge pools, and private outdoor areas. “The intention is to demonstrate the possibilities of providing a facility of high quality, appropriate to the existing Noosa Springs resort and capable of attracting the luxury ecotourism market,“ he said. “Residents believe that the units will provide a higher value offering with far less impact than the developer’s proposal. “Part of our objection is the proposal is not only in direct conflict with the zoning provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020, but creates significant impacts on wildlife habitat, noise and congestion for adjacent residents, significant increases in traffic and parking congestion and creates risks in terms of bushfire management and evacuation.

“Our lower scale building is located over the existing car-parking areas and is within the land zoned for tourist accommodation. It complies with all height limits and does not affect the existing “connecting habitat” area mapped under the Noosa Plan.” He noted there would always be some impact due to development but the smaller resort and its management would ensure a “harmonious balance”. He said it was also important that the resort support the existing facilities. The alternative proposal would provide a reception area and guest lounge, but all common facilities would be provided in the existing resort buildings. “This will ensure that existing business is supported and strengthened rather than providing competing food, beverage and conference facilities which will only reduce the financial viability of the resort,“ he said. “We have also addressed the severe impact of service traffic on the residents of Parkridge. Our proposal will utilise the existing Noosa Springs Resort service area. This will significantly reduce traffic passing Parkridge.”

Seachange dream crashes for Gympie Terrace couple From page 1 “Our first preference is to stay. We’re not greedy people. If we could keep our nose above the water we’d stay. We don’t drive Lamborghinis. We just want a normal life. You can’t do that in Noosa. Property values have gone through the roof. (Landlords) want the value returns.“ Bob said newsagencies were not taking any more of a hit than other businesses. “I’ve seen 50 retailers close their doors. As a newsagent, I’ve outlasted other businesses. There’ll be a lot of empty shops until we see a change,“ he said. Having been a landlord of residential properties he said it made good business sense to give good tenants a good deal. “Some landlords in Noosa are so wealthy they don’t care if a property sits empty for six months. What that comes down to is they have no concern for the tenant if he goes bankrupt. The rent is always set at the highest rate in Noosa.“ Paying $100,000-$120,000 a year means selling a lot of newspapers. But no newsagent makes its money from newspapers. “Newspapers give you foot traffic. If you look at our demographic, most residents are elderly and still like to read newspapers. It brought a lot of foot traffic through the door. “But we need our tourists. They buy magazines, gifts, drinks, touristy things“. And Bob brought in whatever the customer demanded. “I defy anyone who thinks they could have done better or worked harder,“ he said. “In reasonable times this is a good, viable business but today you just can’t do it.“

Bob and Bridgit always viewed their business as part of the community structure and see its loss as a sad reflection of the loss of community. The newsagent has long been a gathering spot for people to discuss the news, have a chat then pick up a coffee at a nearby cafe. “We feel part of the community. The support since people have found out we’re closing has been overwhelming. It’s helped us get through this difficult time.“ Being close to his customers, Bob’s knows its not only business owners who are hurting. There are many residents who have also had to leave Noosa because their house rentals have become unaffordable. “A lady from Italy was here the other day. She’s lived in Noosa for 18 years. Her rent’s gone up $120 a week and she can’t afford it. ’We’re going to have to leave,’“ she told Bob. “We feel money is more important to people than community structure. It’s a sad situation. It’s more about the individual... don’t go backwards to help someone else.“ Bob and Bridgit are selling all their stock at half price to try to recoup some of their losses before they leave. Their future is uncertain but they no plans to retire. “We’re letting the dust settle. We’ll get everything tidied up then we may see there’s something. “One door closes, hopefully there’ll be one opening,“ Bob said. Drop into Newsextra Noosaville at 2/199 Gympie Terrace before 30 June to pick up a bargain at their half price sale, say goodbye to Bob and Bridgit and farewell to an era.

Our People Ron Lane

New highway tracking well The Tewantin Noosa Lions advertising and marketing representative, Michael Roach, jokingly referred to the project as Noosa’s New Highway. But when you stop and think, it is in fact quite appropriate. It is in Noosa, it is definitely new, and the traffic at times is similar to that on a highway. We refer, of course, to the matting that now runs from the steps in front of the Noosa Heads Surf Club to the end of the wide soft sandy beach. If those who handle such matters were to give an award for Noosa’s Project of the Year, this would have to be it. This matting that is relatively easy to lay and easy to role up and shift if threatened by big surf, is a godsend to not only those in wheelchairs, but also the young parents with a child in a pram. Add to this those who, on achieving old age, find that those old football knees are not what they should be. This idea first came into being back in 2015, when the founding members of the Noosa Seahorse Nippers Steve Mawby, and wife Nikki, became fully aware of the difficulties facing those whose movements were greatly restricted and difficult when moving across soft sand. However, their concern was not only for the nippers. It was for everyone within our community whose disabilities prevented them enjoying what we take for granted, a day at the beach with the family and kids. It is sad but true that when someone suddenly comes out of left field with a new concept, they will on the majority of times, hit more brick wall than that which exists in the great wall of China. Reflecting on those times Mawby remarked: “I must be honest, it was very discouraging, some just were not interested and others just passed it on. “But most disappointing was the fact that some I took for granted would jump at the chance of being involved, turned their back and walked and this was very disheartening.” But the experience that the Mawbys had gained through the years, plus the support of their volunteer workers, gave them the heart and determination to continue. Then, in November 2021, the Noosa Tewantin Lions received a call from the Noosa Shire council. They had decided to become involved and approached the Lions about the possibility of assisting in the financial aspect. After some discussion they agreed and advertising and marketing member Michael Roach put his hand up to take the responsibility of conducting a thorough research. “I must be honest, some of the information I gathered really came as a total shock, however, it left me in no doubt that here was a project

in which our Lions Club should give our total support. “A major source for my inquiries were the various schools within our community. “As a result of this I was able to make contact with many young mothers who were raising children in need of assistance. “To say that I was shocked with results of my research would have to be an understatement. I found that, within our community, there were some 300 children in wheel chairs.” On hearing these figures, I sat stunned and silent. Noting my reaction, he repeated the figures and said, “Go ahead and print it, because it is true, and remember, some of these children are members of your Seahorse Nipper club.” On revealing these figures and other information to the Lions board of directors, the vote to assist was a mere formality. A sum of several thousand dollars was agreed upon. It was then that he also drew my attention to something that we again just take for granted. That was the three parking bays that the council have allocated in the carpark next to the walkway that leads to the beach. “Those three carparks that lead to the walkway, plus the beach mats, now make it so much easier for those in need of help to gain access to the beach. Not only to the beach but also to a way of life that up til now was beyond their dreams.”

It was then that I began to ask myself, who is this Lion who has dared, as the result of his research, to open the pandoras’ box and drawn our attention to the restricted existence of those who live life in a wheelchair? Born in Adelaide (great AFL country ) and educated at Pulteney Grammar, his chosen field of work saw him spend 45 years of his life in public service. On retirement, along with wife Jay and son, he shifted to Noosa. Once settled he decided to join Lions. “I joined because I liked what they were doing, very supportive of community projects. “Also, it gave me the opportunity to meet people. It is an organisation that has been serving the community for some 55 years. “Through our sausage sizzles, plus our three food vans which we work at various functions, we have over the years raised in the vicinity of $4-5 million. We have also been involved in the building of the Meals on Wheels facility and the public stage in the park on the river bank. “Another major project has been the food for stock in time of floods, droughts and bushfires. The major branch involved in such matters is Disaster Management and Support.” And for Michael, he wants those interested in joining Tewantin Noosa Lions to know that their door is always open. For those wishing to serve their community, to walk through their doors is definitely the way to go. To all people involved in this humanitarian project, we are proud to say, you are indeed Our People.

At this stage our Mayor Clare Stewart, councillor Amelia Lorentson and the shire council were involved and very supportive. So too was our local Member Sandy Bolton. The work of these people performed at both local and state government level, should be acknowledged and applauded. Then on the 19 April, with the mats laid, Noosa’s’ new highway was officially opened to the public. For Steve and Nikki Mawby their dream from years ago had become a reality. “These new beach matts are absolutely fantastic. They are a key part to the many steps available to us to make our patrolled beaches and surf club more inclusive and more accessible to people of all abilities.” As to the success of the mats, senior Noosa lifeguard Adam McKane said, “They are in constant use. They are a great success not only for the people in wheelchairs but also for families with prams and little children. Also, in times of big sea warnings they are easy to disconnect and relay when the trouble has passed.” For Lion Michael Roach and his colleagues, it has indeed been very gratifying. “On the official day,” said Michael, “a mother ran up to me, threw her arms around my neck, kissed me on the cheek and said, ‘thank you. You people have given my little boy a chance to another lifestyle he never thought he would have’. To all of us in Lions that said it all.”

Scootering on electric power at the expo.

Matthew Flinders Anglican College student Henry Everson with a Landrover students converted to electric.

EVs power up at Junction By Margie Maccoll From bikes and scooters to family and luxury vehicles to road trains and buses and even a tiny house, the move to electric was evident at this year’s Noosa Electric Vehicle Expo and Street Fest held last Sunday. Sunshine Beach Road was closed at Noosa Junction for the first time for the event which proved to be a great success for both the exhibitors to bump in their displays and the crowds to pore over the innovative vehicles, test drive bikes and scooters and access cafes and restaurants along the street. Among the exhibitors was Janus Electric which is working to fill an increasing number of orders to convert road transport fleets to electric, using exchangeable batteries as the key to success. Janus Electric general manager Lex Forsyth brought a standard 10-year-old prime mover to the expo that the company converted to electric at a cost of $150,000 and they have orders coming in from a range of companies including mining, forestry and construction industries. B-doubles and even triple road trains are being converted, enabling travel of about 370km on a battery charge before the need to stop and swap it for a fully charged battery, with the three-minute swap replacing the need to wait for a charging station. Polkadot towed their basic design tiny house to the expo. The social enterprise created the tiny house as a solution to the affordable housing crisis. It can be towed by a regular 4WD, is small enough to be legally placed in a backyard and with its solar/electric power is completely off-grid. Polkadot’s Jimmy Hirst said the house that contained a kitchen, bathroom and sofa bed would cost under $40,000 and could be connected to a second tiny house for a more comfortable home for under $60,000. Pete White of Bus Stop brought along a full size, electric powered coach, which has already been sold for use to a Gold Coast school. Put together in China using European products, the King Long coach can travel 400km on a single charge before the need for a four-five hour recharge. There was a range of electric bikes and scooters at the expo including trail bikes from

Jimmy Dawson said their electric trail bikes were in hot demand from locals and tourists buying or hiring them to explore the Noosa Trail network and tossing an extra battery in their backpacks to lengthen their rides. “It extends your range. On a regular day you can make it to Kin Kin,” he said. Redlands-based Star 8 green technology company brought to the expo a few scooters which was just a sample of the wide range of vehicles they are marketing across the world, particularly in Asia. Electric tuk tuts and even self-charging solar-powered ferries are in the Star 8 range.

Showing the interest from students in future technology Matthew Flinders Anglican College brought along an old Land Rover students converted to electric. Design and technology teacher Brendan Gallaher said a group of about 12-15 students had converted the car over 18 months, which was now registered and had been driven to the expo from the Buderim school. “It’s just an educational tool to help kids understand their future,” he said. Student Henry Everson who had worked on the car conversion, said it had been a great learning experience for students to see what’s next, and his choice when he buys a car will be electric - “100 per cent,” he said.

Lex inspires the Tigers By Abbey Cannan In the year since the Pomona cycling accident that caused a traumatic brain injury to Noosa’s star triathlete Alexa Leary, she has been making more moves than her world-wide campaign encourages. Not only has she made an incredible recovery since the accident on 17 July 2021, she has helped raise more than $170,000 through her Move for Lex campaign for the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH); become the face of the RBWH Foundation’s fundraising drive; been selected in the Swimming Australia Para National Development Squad; and become an offical ambassador for local disability charity, Sunshine Butterflies. Alexa, better known as Lex, will now be sharing her inspirational story alongside fellow athletes who defied all odds to survive near death sporting accidents, during a special luncheon at Noosa Tigers Clubhouse on Saturday 9 July. Guests will hear the incredible stories of Australian national champion snow skier Janine Shepherd and Australian BMX Olympic athlete Kai Sakakibara. While in training for the Olympics, Janine Shepherd was hit head-on by a truck, suffering multiple life-threatening injuries. She, like Alexa, spent five months immobilised in a hospital bed. They both faced daunting recoveries and an uncertain future. Struggling to rehabilitate with permanent disabilities, Janine rekindled her defiant spirit in a dramatically improbable way. Seeing a small plane fly overhead one day, she declared, “If I can’t walk, I’ll fly.“ And she did exactly that. Today, Janine is an internationally renowned speaker whose inspiring Ted talk, A Broken Body Isn’t A Broken Person, has gathered over 2 million views.

Lex said the message she wants to get across to everyone at the event was to be supportive of one another. “I really want people to have each other’s backs,“ she said. “And I’ll be thanking the people that have helped me the whole way through.“ “In my accident, the doctor said I’d never be able to walk or talk again and that I’d be disabled with a brain injury for life. “I know I have a brain injury for life, and I forget everything, but it’s OK. We’ll deal with that.“ Her mum Belinda added, “It’s getting better every day.“ The Move For Lex Day will be raising money for the Tigers, with Lex leading the team out, as players wear pink socks in support. “Lex’s boyfriend Wil O’Dwyer plays for the

Tigers, who have been such a big support to us the whole way through, so we felt it would be good to have a Move For Lex Day to give back,“ her dad Russell Leary said. The main message the Leary family has learnt in the past year is, don’t sweat the small stuff. “Your life can change in a day,“ Russell said. “That day of the accident, who thought we were going to live in Brisbane for five months and come back to Noosa two days out of 111 days. “So, it’s life-changing stuff. It’ll be an inspiring day. I think Janine Shepherd will be the one to really make people cry and make them laugh.“ Lex said her main goal for the next year was to swim every day. “I’ll be moving to the Gold Coast to be with a professional coach and he wants to push me hard to get me to the Para Olympics,“ she said. “I’ll be training morning and night, but I want that because I’m always a sporty girl. “I would also love to become a public

Quarry case final hearing By Margie Maccoll Noosa Hinterland residents more than filled the Planning and Environment Court in Maroochydore last Friday to hear the final hearing of Noosa Council v Cordwell Resources, so the court took the unusual step of allowing some residents to view proceedings from the area normally reserved for a jury. About three months after the case began, both sides presented their final submissions and His Honour Judge Gary Long reserved handing down his judgement for a date to be advised. The case relates to Council’s allegations set out earlier by their barrister Mitchel Batty that the application was filed by council for the relief for the community from haulage trucks, in five areas. The five areas relate to allegations of the quarry’s non-compliance of its Quarry Management Plan (QMP) in failing to avoid truck convoying, covering of loads, operating hours and use of quarry trucks during school bus hours, and the allegation the impact of the quarry’s intensification of work constitutes a material change of use. Counsel for Cordwell Resources, QC Errol Morzone, earlier informed the court his client strongly objected to the allegations. In his summing up last Friday Mr Morzone said the Kin Kin Quarry had continued to operate within its approved authority. He described the Quarry Management Plan as a practical guide, saying Cordwells had operated generally in accordance of the guide. He said in the most controversial area of quarry trucks operating during school bus times where the QMP outlines the quarry should “seek to minimise“ truck movements at that time, it was not an “absolute obligation“. Mr Morzone questioned whether there had been a material change in scale and intensity of use because if the use was authorised by its

If there has been an increase in scale of operations, it has not been outside the bounds of approval, he said. Mr Morzone said the quarry was always intended to produce up to 1 million tonne per annum. The use has got up and running as it was intended, he said. Movements have changed. It was always intended there would be that change, he said. Judge Long told Mr Morzone the argument put against his client was that the level was limited, the ability to operate was always constrained by conditions of delivery of the product. In his summation, Mr Batty told the court

council had summarised Cordwell’s breaches of its QMP “best as it can“ in relation to truck convoying, uncovered loads, use of haulage trucks during school bus hours and outside work hours, and there had, in some instances, been in excess of 400 breaches. In relation to the question of whether the quarries intensification of use constituted a material change of use, Mr Batty raised the issues of the impact of its operations on the environment, its impact on the community and whether it was meeting Noosa Plan 2020 requirements to contribute to the amenity of the area. “This quarry and the way it’s being operated is affecting this community,“ he said. Mr Batty said Cordwell’s non-compliance was a large part of the material change of use.

He said to answer the question of whether there had been a material intensity of use, you have to have regard to the manner of breaches occurring and the impacts that arise as contemplated in the QMP. He disputed Mr Morzone’s claim the QMP was only a practical guide. “It’s not just a practical guide,“ he said. “There are other references to its purpose. It’s clear it is a management document with links to environmental impacts. The management plan shows how satisfactory outcomes should be achieved.“ Judge Long said what the court had to determine was whether there had been a material change of use, and there had been no application for a material change.

Fountain whets taste for stunning public artwork The biosphere designation has many potential benefits, particularly for our tourism and agriculture industries.

Bio move on Noosa Council and Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation have welcomed Sunshine Coast Council to UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Program. “With the Sunshine Coast’s designation as a biosphere reserve, we’re delighted to welcome our southern neighbours to the UNESCO family,” Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said. “Biosphere designation recognises a region’s commitment to sustainable living in harmony with nature and we look forward to collaborating with Sunshine Coast Council on our shared ideals.” Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation chair Rowan Rafferty said Queensland was now the only place in the world to have three adjoining biosphere reserves. “This has created a unique corridor that stretches uninterrupted from the southern end of the Sunshine Coast right up to the Fraser Coast and Wide Bay,” he said. Noosa Shire was Queensland’s first biosphere reserve to be designated, back in 2007, and has maintained its world-class reputation as a special place that celebrates its community and environment. The Great Sandy Biosphere, to Noosa’s north, was designated in

2009. “This is an occasion to celebrate. Having three biosphere reserves side by side enhances our world class reputation as a region that values sustainable development along with active conservation. “The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation offers its support to Sunshine Coast Biosphere and looks forward to working with our sister biospheres to further the global goals of UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere program.” Last year, the Noosa Biosphere Reserve was awarded the coveted UNESCO Michel Batisse Award 2021 for excellence in biosphere reserve management. Mr Rafferty said Noosa’s biosphere reserve designation 15 years ago recognised the community’s commitment to living sustainably and in harmony with the natural environment. “The results of Noosa Council’s recent Liveability Survey show that our community continues to place a very high value on protecting our local environment,” Mayor Stewart said. “It’s great to know we share these important values with our neighbours to both the north and south.” The World Network of Biosphere Reserves now includes 738 sites in 134 countries.

The stunning new O Fountain on Gympie Terrace may quite literally stop you in your tracks. The striking blue artwork on the water refill station, painted by local Indigenous artist Lyndon Davis, represents the shell middens along the foreshore of Noosa River. “Middens were formed from the discarded shells from the seafood eaten by the Kabi Kabi and were common along the banks of the Noosa River and Weyba, Doonella, Cooroibah and Cootharaba Lakes,” Mr Davis said. “This artwork represents these large accumulations of shell material found in this area.” It’s been a joint project between Unitywater, Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa to encourage locals and visitors to ditch single-use plastic bottles and fill up reusable water bottles with tap water. Unitywater Manager Communications and Engagement Jana Dore said the O Fountain was the second in Noosa and joined the 18 other community water refill stations in the shire. “Our Water on Tap program encourages people to stay hydrated and protect our local environment by avoiding single-use plastics and filling up from the tap,” she said. “It also supports our target zero commitment to sustainability, and we’re thrilled that the O Fountain has been installed just ahead of Plastic-Free July.” Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said the fountain combined the Noosa community’s respect for its environment and Indigenous history. “In our recent Liveability Survey, residents valued the environment most highly

Jana Dore, Lyndon Davis, Frank Wilkie, Juanita Terry-Bloomfield at the new O Fountain on Gympie Terrace. and this O Fountain helps reduce the use of plastics that can end up in our waterways and honours the Indigenous people’s historical links to the Noosa River,” he said. Tourism Noosa Head of Tourism Sustainability and Program Design Juanita Terry-Bloomfield said it was a wonderful addition at the popular Lions Park. “It will certainly get people talking – the O Fountain in Hastings Street has been wonderfully received since it was installed in 2018,” she said. “This one is absolutely beautiful and we’re proud that it represents some of the cultural heritage of this area. This is also an exciting opportunity to support our endeavours through our Plastic Free Noosa Program which aims to eliminate singleuse plastics in Noosa.”

Tears for incredible dogs By Abbey Cannan There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when veteran Laurie Cattanach shared how his loyal Assistance Dog Buddy changed his life at PTSD Dogs Australia’s fourth birthday celebration. PTSD Dogs Australia is a local not-for-profit organisation that rescues death row dogs from pounds and shelters, and trains them to become loyal and supportive Assistance Dogs for veterans and first responders with PTSD. On Friday, the charity held a long overdue celebration of their achievements and raised much-needed funds through a High Tea with the Hounds. PTSD Dogs chief executive officer Angie Weeks burst into tears when she took to the podium, overwhelmed by the support from the community. Receiving an Assistance Dog can be utterly life-changing and in some cases, even life-saving, which was the case for Laurie. “All I’ve ever wanted to was join the military,“ he said. “At 17 I joined and went into infantry and loved it, but it destroyed my body. “From about about 2007 onwards, I probably had over 20 surgeries. Ten of them were on my spine. Chronic pain was basically always there from 2006 onwards. “It got to the point where I was driving along the motorway after seeing a specialist and I blacked out because the pain was that bad. I passed out doing 110km/h on the Gold Coast motorway. “So, it sucked everything out of my brain. I was angry all of the time. I had no emotions for my own daughters, I had no love for them.“ Laurie said his mental health was suffering when he met the team of PTSD Dogs Australia at Eumundi Markets. “I started volunteering for PTSD Dogs Australia, raising money at the markets, and eventually Buddy became available,“ he said. “It will be three years this October, and basically he hasn’t left my side since then.

PTSD Dogs chief executive officer Angie Weeks, Sandy Bolton MP, John Reid performing as Dame Edna, and Kaylene Murray. “I’ve got five daughters, so I said to them I want a male dog,” he joked. Laurie said Buddy has changed his life. “He’s trained to smell pain, so he will let me know if I sit or stand for too long. He will tell me to sit or get up and move,“ he said. “Because he gives me unconditional love and affection no matter what’s happening, he’s drawing that out of me as well. “Now my girls will give me a hug and there’s that love and affection again. “I don’t know any other charity that doesn’t charge the handler for their dog. It is completely life changing. There’s no way I could’ve afforded to pay $40,000 for him. “I pay them back by volunteering because I’m able to. Not all veterans and first responders can talk about their PTSD. It is emotional.” To donate to PTSD Dogs Australia visit ptsddogs.org.au/donate/

Smart pups need money Smart Pups needs $735,000 by the end of the month to secure new, larger premises on the Sunshine Coast and continue supplying assistance dogs to children with special needs. Smart Pups chief executive officer Janelle Denny said the pressure was on to ensure the future of the charity that began on the Coast in 2011 and they needed $600,000, plus GST of $135,000, by June 30. “With only a couple of weeks left, we’re worried that we won’t make our fundraising total,” she said. “With our waiting list at full capacity, our clients are currently waiting two years to receive a Smart Pup. Our goal is to reduce this wait time down to just six months. “Currently $51,000 has been donated from 12 generous people. We had a fundraising lunch last month that raised $100,000, the Queensland Government has made a one-off charitable contribution of $500,000 and we have a further $52,000 of unfulfilled pledges, so there’s currently still a $84,000 shortfall.” The charity must leave its Pinbarren premises and has found a Verrierdale property that is a purpose-built dog training facility and already has training yards and kennel areas ready to walk straight into. “It’s the perfect location for us,” Mrs Denny said. “However, it comes with a hefty price tag and we’re asking all our supporters to dig deep to help us reach our fundraising total before June 30.” Since 2011, the Sunshine Coast-based charity has provided 270 assistance dogs to children with special needs. Smart Pups trains autism service dogs, seizure response dogs and multi-purpose assistance dogs to help children with day-to-day routines, activities and events. “From those early days, the demand for our trained assistance dogs has grown so much

Smart Pup Morrie in training. that we always have more requests than puppies available,” Mrs Denny said. “The vision is to have a world-class training facility at Verrierdale where we will be able to expand to meet this need and raise and train up to 60 puppies a year which goes such a long way to meeting the need of young children around Australia.” The Verrierdale property is 50 acres with a purpose-built dog training facility that will suit our needs and accommodate our growth into the future. The Centre’s design has drawn on international expertise and the world-class facility will include: Air conditioned kennel block filled with the latest creature comforts. Huge state of the art indoor training facility, fully air conditioned. Recreation areas where dogs can run free and socialise. An administration building. A grooming room to pamper the Smart Pups. A caretaker’s residence.

The Smart Pups team hopes the community can help them raise a further $84k before 30 June.

Arts boost in RADF grants Six local artists and arts community groups have shared in more than $25,000 worth of funding in the latest Noosa Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grant round to help them develop their projects. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. RADF chairperson Karen Finzel said, “RADF is an excellent opportunity for local artists, performers, musicians, and writers to apply for funding through a supportive application process while creating unique opportunities to grow the creative arts sector to build our sense of identity, connection to each other and strengthen community resilience.” RADF funding is helping Noosa Chorale and Noosa Arts and Crafts Association (NACA) to develop the skills and experiences of their members so they can create better arts experiences for the wider community. Noosa Chorale will be working with a voice teacher to upskill their volunteer members and NACA’s Press Gang, Book Binders and Papermakers groups will be undertaking a workshop program with Dr Glenn Skein and then sharing what they have learnt in workshops for the public. “A vocal development program will be an enriching experience for our singers, an opportunity to re-invigorate our choir’s joie de vivre, and a vehicle for benefits to cascade out to a broader community,” Noosa Chorale president Fran Wilson said. Other RADF recipients in this round include local emerging artist, Emilia Cilento whose grant will support her working with mentors to learn new visual art techniques which will result in an exhibition at Thomas Surfboards. Noosa Arts Theatre will also receive a grant

RADF funding is helping Noosa Chorale. to support a lighting workshop for their upcoming production of The Boy from Oz. RADF is also supporting Megan Rowland to work with other local artists to develop the second stage of their successful multi-disciplinary artwork, Imposter. “We need to grow and develop our local contemporary arts sector and provide diverse arts experiences to connect, challenge and inspire our community here in Noosa,” Ms Rowland said.

Arts Minister Leeanne Enoch said, “RADF is a great example of working together to deliver our Covid-19 economic recovery plan, supporting employment opportunities and creating new arts and cultural experiences in local and regional communities. “RADF in 2021–2022 will provide valuable social, health and economic outcomes for regional Queenslanders, and support our government’s 10-year arts roadmap priorities to strengthen Queensland communities, activate

local places, and drive social change across the state.” Each year RADF showcases the extraordinary innovation of the arts and cultural sector in regional communities, delivers rich arts experiences and provides important professional opportunities for artists and arts workers. The next round of RADF grants will be open in August. Please check out the Noosa Council RADF webpage for more information at noosa. qld.gov.au/radf

More than $350,000 in latest Community Grants complete. Other grant recipients include the Pomona King of the Mountain and Noosa Trailblazers Mountain Bike Club. Mayor Clare Stewart said a wide range of groups will benefit from the funding. “Noosa is home to more than 300 community groups that all contribute greatly to the shire’s social capital,” Cr Stewart said. “We encourage not-for-profit incorporated community organisations whose activities benefit the Noosa community to apply for funding. Council is committed to help build a healthy, connected and engaged community and this funding is one way of supporting many local organisations that help to enrich our way of life.” Community development manager Alison Hamblin said the grant program was designed to help organisations to continue the vital role volunteers play in our community. “In this project grant round there’s $4,500.00 for community events, $113,442.33

to answer community groups’ new equipment requests, and $16,373.00 for various other programs,” Ms Hamblin said. Council has also approved $216,087 to contribute towards Signature and Festive season events as well as Alliance projects. Festive season projects are among the biggest recipients, including Christmas in Cooroy in the hinterland, which received a $7706 grant to plan, develop and execute the annual event. “Council is delighted to be able to invest in our community organisations and the important work they do,” Ms Hamblin added. Council’s Community Development team was on hand to offer community groups advice on eligibility criteria and the application process.

Former chief executive officer of Ramsay Health Noosa Hospital Shane Mitchell and Reed & Co. Estate Agents director Adrian Reed in front of paediatric medical equipment.

Charity gala On Saturday 25 June, Reed & Co. Estate Agents in collaboration with the LOYAL Foundation and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation will hold their third annual charity gala. This event raises much needed funds to purchase vital paediatric medical equipment for Noosa and regional hospitals across Queensland. The objective is to ensure that these hospitals have adequate and often lifesaving medical equipment for sick and injured children. “The generosity of our community is humbling. Together, we have now raised over $437,000 purchasing 41 pieces of vital paediatric medical equipment since opening the doors at Reed & Co. in 2018,” the Reed & Co team said. This Saturday night is set to be an entertaining evening with several celebrity guest appearances supporting a very important cause. For those who would like to donate beyond the evening by purchasing a piece of much needed lifesaving medical equipment or making a financial contribution can do so by phoning Reed & Co. Estate Agent on 5352 0101.

Mingle with Mayor for DFV housing Tickets are on sale for the annual Mingle with the Mayor Ball on 3 September at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas. Hosted by Womenkind Australia Inc and patron, Noosa Mayor, Clare Stewart, the gala evening is will raise funds for transitional housing solutions for locals experiencing domestic family violence. Womenkind Australia Inc founder, Josanne Falla, said housing was a huge issue, especially in Noosa. “We already have a housing crisis and in 12 months’ time, the National Rental Scheme will end and we will have thousands back on looking for housing on the Sunshine Coast,” Ms Falla said. “We need space now for the vulnerable in our community and we need to make this a much bigger conversation and bring the whole community together. “The event will not only raise funds for transitional housing for victims of domestic and family violence but it will bring together a community of different organisations and start a very important conversation and get everyone joining in.” Cr Stewart, said supporting Noosa’s domestic violence response was a Council priority. “The Shine Houses are one of Noosa’s longest-running and most successful domestic violence support initiatives. “For more than a decade the houses have provided those who are fleeing violent family and domestic situations with transitional accommodation and access to support services to help them establish their independence, deal with trauma and get back on their feet.

Hub skills for real world

Peregian Digital Hub cadets learning about electronic circuits and logic gates. in pursuing my passion for teaching programming,” Evyn said. “My experience with the Peregian Digital Hub’s cadetship program has inspired me to pursue a career in computer science. I hope that I’ll be able to make a difference in the world whether it is through something I create or through teaching and inspiring the next generation of coders.” A number of past cadets like Ben SzaboVirag from Matthew Flinders College have shared their skills and earned money by teaching holiday workshops at the Hub.

“I was invited to be part of the first AI Cadetship program in 2020 as a teacher, while I was in Grade 9. I’ve continued to work on interesting part-time jobs at Provectus Algae and have taught many coding courses at the Hub during the school holidays,” Ben said. “Being connected with the Digital Hub community including their network of coders and tech companies is the biggest benefit to me personally.” Cadet places fill quickly and talented Year 10 and 11 students from schools across the Sunshine Coast and Noosa region are encouraged to apply. Applications close 3 July.

And if you have a tech-loving or creative youngster or teen, the Peregian Hub’s holiday program has a variety of workshops, taught by some of the Hub’s Cadets. The action-packed program includes anything from robotics to 3D design and printing, to making digital art and music and learning how to code in Python. Mr Boden said it was @all about kids creating, inventing and having fun with the latest technology”.

The Peregian Digital Hub is calling for the coast’s top talented Year 10 and 11 maths, technology and arts students to apply for its Term 3 digital design and web development cadetships. Equivalent to first year university level, the programs aim to inspire cadets to learn handson skills taught by experts through weekly classes, as well as offering exciting vocational pathways to earn through paid internship opportunities. “At the Hub we’ve learnt that talented young people are capable of extraordinary things with the right support,” Peregian Digital Hub director Chris Boden said. “The cadetships offer non-linear learning for smart, self-motivated young people with unique opportunities to stretch themselves doing professional-level work. “For talented students, it’s an opportunity to develop skills in some of the most soughtafter areas of technology – web development and digital design.” With a limited number of placements available, cadets will need either a strong interest in advanced maths and technology or have a creative passion and talent for expressing their ideas visually through drawing, illustration, or graphic design. Over the past two years, more than 60 Noosa and Sunshine Coast teens have completed Hub cadetships and have successfully taken up various opportunities including commercial mini-projects for local companies, parttime coding and AI work, or work experience, while others have started their own businesses. Sunshine Beach State High School student, Evyn Jenkins completed the 2020 AI cadetship and has since worked with several local companies. “The cadetship has directly led to work experience and employment with local companies like Provectus Algae, Gfactor Technologies and Our Element.

The story behind the dolls By Phil Jarratt

Baby Sarah with her mother, 1860s.

Pictures: NOOSA HERITAGE LIBRARY

“Not from the research I’ve done with the Kabi Kabi. In fact, the key people are quite excited about the historical matches between the dolls and real people.” Now, a collaboration between Kerkhove, Noosa Council Heritage coordinator Jane Harding, freelance writer Louise Martin-Chew, and the Noosa Regional Gallery, supported by funding from the Noosa Council Heritage Levy and the Regional Arts Development Fund has resulted in the first publishing of Midgley’s story, Picanninie’s Yabba Yabba, with illustrations by local artist Annelise Howes, and accompanied by an essay by Kerkhove contextualising the story and Midgley’s dolls, and discussing the historical significance of both.

Jane Harding explains in her editor’s note to the new book: “On my first reading of the manuscript, I was captivated by the descriptions of the emigrant voyage and early days in Noosa – 1873 was the dawn of European settlement in the district – and delighted by the [Enid] Blyton-esque tone. “However, the work includes language and attitudes that are outdated and racist and which may cause offense to readers.” While this may be true for some readers, from my reading of parts of the manuscript, I found the tone quaint and a little cloying when the author, then a middle-aged woman, attempts to sound like the young girl she was when she met Widgeon and Kummera, but far

Whoever said you can’t swim in Winter clearly didn’t talk to the Poolside Noosa team about affordable pool heating.

Another of the dolls that will be exhibited. more important in my view is the insight the text gives us into the settler experience and of the sometimes-difficult interaction between Europeans and First Nations. And, as Harding points out, the Traditional Owners have been engaged by the project team and have expressed their support. A couple of months back in these pages, in an article called Truth Telling, I lamented the fact that while parts of the settler story in Noosa were well-documented, we know virtually nothing about the reaction of Kabi Kabi elders like King Billy, who became well known to Sarah Midgley during the few years she spent in Noosa, or about the realities of master-servant relationships.

The publication of a fascinating book and the opening of an accompanying exhibition of dolls at Noosa Regional Gallery next month puts a new focus on a little-known piece of Noosa history, and on the relationships between European settlers and First Nations peoples 150 years ago. The link is through the remarkable Englishborn Sarah Ellen Midgley, who in the early 1870s emigrated with her family as an eightyear-old to live at the primitive Mill Point timber settlement on the shores of Noosa’s Lake Cootharaba, befriended Aboriginal playmates and later turned the experience into a book and built a successful cottage industry out of making dolls in their likeness. I first became aware of Sarah Midgley and her Bungeree dolls two years ago when I interviewed leading Queensland historian Dr Ray Kerkhove, then a historian-in-residence at Noosa Library. “Before we had swagman dolls we had Aboriginal dolls, and I found in my research that they were created by Sarah Midgley whose family, the Barons, moved to Noosa when her father started working at the sawmill at Mill Point,” Ray said. “Her two Aboriginal playmates, Widgeon and Kummera, had such a profound effect on the young girl that more than half a century later, as a successful Brisbane businesswoman, she began making dolls in their image, and was soon selling them to doll collectors around the world. “She modelled her dolls from characters in her book, which was apparently unpublished but I was able to find in manuscript form in the John Oxley Library, and Tewantin elder King Billy was one of them. “It gives us a real window into the interaction between Indigenous people and the settlers. “Are they offensive today?

Sarah and Alfred Midgley with daughter Zoe foreground, 1920s. Pictures: NOOSA HERITAGE LIBRARY working as a seamstress, also did dinner shifts as a waitress. Here she met clergyman, poet and Queensland politician Alfred Midgley, who dined at the Baron family restaurant frequently while his dying wife was hospitalised. Despite a big age difference, Alfred and Sarah married a few months after the death of his wife. Although they enjoyed a brief time in the

Brisbane social spotlight, by the early years of the new century, Alfred’s career and health were declining at about the same rate. Alfred lingered for another 30 years, but Sarah Midgley, way ahead of her time, became focused on creating her own legacy, which eventually led to her founding Corinda Knitting Mills, manufacturing baby clothing. And at some point as her business expanded, she

The Budgeree dolls were invented to celebrate those memories. The exhibition launch will be on Friday 15 July and it will be open to the public at Noosa Regional Gallery from Saturday 16 July to Sunday September 4, 2022.

Well, courtesy of Harding, Kerkhove and their team, and of course, of Sarah Ellen Midgley, we do now. As Harding writes in her note: “History is full of amazing, unique and interesting stories as well as ‘messy bits’, of which we are often less proud in hindsight. “This story has both. And both are important if we are to learn from the past and work towards not repeating things that we now see as ‘mistakes’.” Perhaps the trick is to look beyond the historic racism inherent in the author’s (Nell in the book) first encounters with the Traditional Owners to the more tolerant and lasting relationship that grows from them. For example, this is Nell’s account of first contact with King Billy and future playmates Kummera and Widgeon at Mill Point. “The old gin grinned and said, ‘Me Noora’. As though this were a signal of some sort, all the blacks then chimed in and tried to tell their names. There was a terrible noise. All the dogs began to bark, and there were cries of, ‘Me King Billy’; ‘Me Kummera’; ‘Me Widgeon’. But at last, when the noise was becoming almost unbearable, a tall thin black fellow [who said his name was Captain Wish], was pointing to another black fellow, who also wore a brass plate, but a very dirty one, and saying as he pointed: ‘That fella King Billy.’ King Billy was little, and fat and dirty, and the kiddies giggled when they heard his name. He looked a funny sort of king to them. Then Captain Wish pointed to a thin little gin and said, ‘That girl belongit me – name Widgeon; other girl called Kummera.’” The story of the adult Sarah Ellen Midgley is almost as interesting as her childhood introduction to Noosa’s frontier life. During his stint as a timber-cutter, Sarah’s father Charles Baron, a former civil servant in England, found enough gold on the Gympie digs to send his daughters to boarding school in Brisbane. Mostly, however, he was broke and bingedrinking, and eventually deserted his family to return to England. But stoic mum Sarah Baron established a successful restaurant on Adelaide Street near Parliament House, where daughter Sarah, now

Build bushfire resilience The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) has partnered with Zero Emissions Noosa Inc, Noosa Council and Noosa Environmental Education Hub (Noosa EEHub) in a project designed to improve emergency evacuation shelter experiences for future evacuees. In the 2019 bushfires, thousands of Noosa Shire residents were forced to evacuate their homes. Many residents sought refuge at emergency evacuation shelters at The J and Noosa Leisure Centre. USQ’s Dr Carina Anderson is leading the project. “Australia is facing more natural disasters due to climate change and an increase in extreme weather events,” Dr Anderson said. “In 2019, we had the Noosa bushfires, and then more recently the major flooding in

Queensland and New South Wales. “More natural disasters will mean an increasing reliance on evacuation centres. “Our project aims to make evacuation centres physically and psychologically safer places to stay during times of natural disasters.” Noosa Council carbon reduction project officer Annie Nolan said, “As part of this project, two battery systems supplementing the existing solar arrays will be installed, one at The J and one at the Noosa Leisure Centre. “It is important to have sustained power to evacuation shelters. “During natural disasters such as bushfires, electricity from the grid may be cut and the batteries provide emission-free power rather than having to bring in a diesel generator at the evacuation shelters. “These battery systems will secure an on-

going power supply to the evacuation centres during emergencies.” Zero Emissions Noosa president Anne Kennedy said the project would help to reduce emissions in the Noosa Shire. “The battery systems will be installed on Noosa Shire Council community buildings, so it’s a win for the community and a win for the environment.” Noosa EEHub managing director Dalia Mikhail said: “Giving students a real-life application of their curriculum through this project is an exciting opportunity for our local students.” The building resilience for bushfire-affected communities in Noosa Shire project is made possible thanks to funding from the Australian Government for the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program.

Studio Pilates Noosa owners Laz and Timea Pocze said the hype is well-deserved, as they also fell in love with pilates about 15 years ago. “Back home in Hungary, I was going to a gym where Timea was a pilates instructor, and she was studying law at the time,“ Laz said. “I saw a gorgeous woman and I wanted to know more about pilates. She invited me for a class and she almost killed me doing that class. “After that, I fell in love with pilates and my wife too.“ Studio Pilates set themselves apart with innovative video technology that allows the instructors to focus on perfecting your technique. The science of sequencing plus ever-changing workouts keep your body guessing and give you the results you want. “I am studying physiotherapy as well, so our team also focuses on technical corrections from a clinical aspect,“ Laz said. “I truly believe pilates is the best workout if you’re looking for a lean, toned body. “It’s also very good for your posture and core strength, as well as being easy on your joints, so we are able to work with so many conditions. The workout programs are planned by physiotherapist, so it has a great focus on safety while making sure you get a dynamic workout in.“ Since taking over Studio Pilates Noosa in January 2022, the couple have immersed themselves in the community.

Healthy Hearts Healthy Hearts: each month PROF CHRISTIAN HAMILTON-CRAIG, local cardiologist living in Noosa Shire, talks about important issues for maintaining your heart health. For this month’s column he is joined by plant-based nutrition expert and author TAMMY FRY from seed-blog.com

Carbs – friend or foe? Carbohydrates are an important staple of a balanced diet. However, in recent years there has been a trend towards low carb, zero carb ketogenic, or LCHF low-carb-high/healthy-fat diets. What is the evidence around these approaches to carbohydrates, and what is the optimal diet for a healthy heart? When absorbed in the gut, all carbohydrates are broken down into various sugars which are metabolised through the liver and into the bloodstream. It is true to say that unrefined simple carbohydrates, such as rice, white bread and sugary carbohydrates are broken down into various sugars and the body “sees” them as sugar. Some people have equated eating a piece of white bread to a cup of white sugar, which is not entirely true, but the concept is an accurate reflection of the way in which carbohydrates are metabolised. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that high-carbohydrate diet, particularly those with high sugar intake such as the American diet rich with donuts and candy bars, increases the glucose handling required by the liver and pancreas, and increases diabetes. For patients who are pre-diabetic, a very low carbohydrate or even ketogenic diet may be helpful. The downside of no-carb or keto diet is that it goes hand-in-hand with an increase in saturated fats or “bad fats”. Fat intake increases satiety and reduces appetite, helping with weight loss in the shortmedium term, but often causes an increase in blood cholesterol, which for patients with established coronary disease (previous heart

Local cardiologist living in Noosa Shire Prof Christian Hamilton-Craig.

It should be noted that animal-based proteins are almost always packaged with saturated fat and cholesterol, whereas protein from plants contains no cholesterol. In fact, substituting animal protein with plant protein can actually help lower LDL cholesterol. Furthermore, when switching to a more plant-based diet (including plant proteins like soy, nuts, pulses and legumes, as well as vegetables), you naturally increase your fibre intake. Soluble fibre supports the reduction of cholesterol as it “grabs” onto the fat and dietary

cholesterol as it moves through the gut, to be excreted. The diet with the best evidence for healthy heart is a Mediterranean diet rich in plantbased foods, vegetables, lean meat and high intake of olive oil and nuts. The PREDIMED trial randomised patients to a low-fat diet against a Mediterranean-style diet with 30 g/day of tree nuts or 1L per week of olive oil (including cooking). This showed a significant decrease in cardiac mortality, heart attack and stroke. One litre of olive oil per week is a lot! It is fair to point out that the trial was sponsored by the manufacturers of both olive oil and nuts.

He is an internationally recognized expert in cardiology and imaging, and is Professor of Medicine at both University of Queensland and Griffith University

NOOSA HE RTS

However, the data are compelling for a Mediterranean diet low in carbohydrates, high in plant-based foods, and lean meat. A more recent trial published in January 2022 showed that higher olive oil intake was associated with lower risk of death, heart attack and stroke. Replacing margarine, butter, mayonnaise, and dairy fat with olive oil was associated with lower risk of death. A balanced Mediterranean-style diet can be tweaked for lower carbohydrates or increase protein options depending on the person’s level of activity/training and the background metabolic needs including diabetes or pre-diabetes. Before starting any diet to talk to your local doctor and consider seeing a dietitian or nutritionist who can provide you with expert tailored advice for your particular health needs.

A ride through the valley By PHIL JARRATT continues Proud Mary, a river story Until within five or six years these lands attracted but little attention. It was known that they were extremely fertile, but it was thought that the cost and uncertainty of reclaiming them were too great to warrant the enterprise. Of late, however, they have been rapidly bought up by capitalists, and their sagacity has been justified by the results on those tracts which have been reclaimed. These Tule lands are simply deposits of muck… The state has sold them for one dollar per acre. – Charles Nordhoff, 1874, quoted by Joan Didion in Where I Was From (2003) I was flipping through the pages of Didion’s wonderful little California memoir, while I gave my e-bike a battery charge in Eumundi, sipping a coffee in the autumn morning sun before resuming my ride out into the Mary Valley. Didion was writing about the Sacramento River and its broad, flat valley which would flood (or experience “high water” as the settlers called it) every spring and often remain that way until late in the summer when the run-off from the Sierra Nevada’s snowy peaks would finally drain into San Francisco Bay.

32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 June, 2022

The author’s e-bike, near Bollier in the Mary Valley. But the parallels with the Mary are many, with settlers rolling down from the Rockies in wagon trains from 1850 to make their lives in the New West thanks to the gold rush, or more likely to the fertile soil of cheap land, prepared to trade off the annual hardships, sickness and death of the high water for the hope of prosperity. The point of difference being that their pain ended in the 20th century when California broke every environmental rule in the book to create what Didion calls an “entirely artificial

environment” of river-diverting levees, canals and dams that is now what the New York Times has referred to as “our greatest food resource”. The certainty of high water endures in the Mary Valley. A trickle of hardy settlers fought their way down the Conondale Range to take up runs in the 1850s and early ‘60s, but, as in California, gold accelerated the process, with the 1867 Gympie gold rush creating a two-way flow of people taking the rough Mary River tracks to

Gympie and the diggings, and coming back to the valley to try agriculture when they failed to strike the motherlode. I knew a little of this history and wanted to learn more, but I also wanted to get a feel for the land and its spirit that you can’t get inside a car, so I continued my pedal west on this rare glorious May morning, past Belli Creek and onto the river plains and the dramatic bluffs that punctuate them. As well as revisiting Didion, I’d been dipping into a small volume called A Strong Brown God, in which the Maleny-based writer Steven Lang waxes lyrical about a walk he did along the Mary from source to mouth 30 years ago. I’ve left my run a bit late for that, but I’m hoping that even at my advanced age I can pick up on some of the insights he gained about the land as well as the people by self-propelling along the backroads of the valley for a few days. But it’s possible the people who wave as they pass on the morning school run, or while checking their fences on a quad, just wonder what this old, white-haired galoot is trying to prove. You don’t have to go far out into the valley to be in the zone of people who work so physically hard they think exercise is frivolous, and when I nearly get taken out by a quarry truck as it turns into Moy Pocket Road at Gheerulla, I’m tempted to add dangerous as well.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

But the odd encounter with a quarry truck was nothing compared with the trials, tribulations and brushes with mortality that the early settlers faced on a daily basis as they guided their bullock teams down the range and followed the Mary downstream to Kenilworth Run and the handful of other selections around it, looking for work or for a five-year lease on a run of their own. The trickle of settlers increased after James Nash discovered gold at Gympie in 1867, but it wasn’t until the late 1880s when the Land Act of 1884 carved up the biggest runs and ushered in the era of Closer Settlement, that it became a stream. In 1891 a group of young men from the Enoggera area of Brisbane set out to find suitable land in the Mary Valley to build small farms, travelling by train to Yandina, then on foot across rough country to Belli and onto the Mary where it was joined by Yahoo Creek, now known as Gheerulla, about six kilometres from what is now the township of Kenilworth. The land was everything they’d hoped for, so Ned Pickering, Jack McGinn and Dick Sims built a slab hut and started clearing the land to fence off separate holdings where they would grow maize and potatoes. “Richard Sims was my grandfather,” declares Lenore Meldrum, as we settle in for a chat in her crowded office at the Kenilworth Historical Museum at the edge of town. Although the museum opens only on Sundays, Lenore, who has managed it for the past 20 years, has made a special trip in from the Sims family estate to see me, so I’ve pedaled up the hill from the pub at pace and arrive out of puff, which the friendly, laughing woman finds hilarious. Well, born and bred in the valley and known as a walking encyclopedia of the hard years, she’s earned the right. Reflecting on the fact that the Gympie Times had labelled these pioneering farmersettlers “rational socialists”, Lenore explains: “My grandfather and his neighbours were socialists in the purest form. When they wanted to take crops to market at the Gympie goldfields, one farmer would take three days off, take his workers and his sons and they’d transport the goods into Gympie, then handle the sales. The other farmers would pick up all his work on his property. “When they decided to build a school in 1899 a neighbour donated the land and my grandfather donated a tree which was cut up and the school was built. That was how they survived in those days.” But the rational socialists would have to take sharing even further when, just two years into their tenure, the record floods of 1893 wiped out their crops and a year’s income, and a depression and further flooding in 1898 meant that they lost three years’ income out of seven. “Now instead of each farmer deciding what he was going to do to survive, they held a meeting and the community decided what they’d do to earn an income,” Lenore said. “They decided to go into dairying and pigraising but they couldn’t afford a cream separator each so they bought a communal one which was kept at my grandfather’s farm, which was centrally located and all the farmers would bring their milk in and when it was separated it was sent by packhorse to Eumundi to get on the train to go to the butter factory in Brisbane.

Mary River near Kenilworth. “They went into pig raising because you could buy a sow in litter quite cheaply, but again each of them couldn’t afford a stud boar, so they bought one communally and he was transported from farm to farm, the happiest pig in Queensland!” Lenore roars with laughter. “This is how the community thrived, then prospered.” In those days the Mary Valley was remote and lawless, but the moral code of the Gheerulla settlers was strong. “They were all devout Anglicans and it was their nature to abide by the law, but really it was controlled by family. The first three selectors at Yahoo Creek in 1891 were single when they arrived, but very soon grandfather Richard Littleworth Sims had married Edward Pickering’s sister, Hannah, Edward Pickering married John McGinn’s sister, John McGinn married Edward’s cousin Rye, and so on. All the young men brought their wives to live in very basic slab huts and went on to have children very quickly,” Lenore said. “The other part of their code was a respect and empathy for the local Aboriginal people, the Kabi Kabi. When they were removing them to go to Cherbourg my grandfather wrote to the Queensland government with the request that the families living on his property be allowed to stay. It was refused. And, you know, on their walkabouts they would always stop and have a meal at my grandparents’ place, and the ladies would bring their babies to show grandma.” By the 1920s the town of Kenilworth was finally taking shape, with the large Sims family front and centre in its commerce.

Picture: KENILWORTH HISTORICAL MUSEUM Arthur Tanner, who opened the first store in 1924, married eldest daughter Winnie Sims, and later went into business with two of Winnie’s brother in Sims Brothers Motor Garage, just along the street from Sims Brothers Transport. Lenore’s dad, Bert, inherited the family farm and his wife ran the town telephone exchange from the homestead, while Bert found the time to also become a long-serving Maroochy councillor and run the town’s Saturday night picture show. There were many other Kenilworth pioneer families, but the Sims lineage of more than 130 years is impeccable, not that it was without interruption in Lenore’s case. She left home to go to boarding school in 1957, and a storied career in education, psychology and medical science, not to mention her marriage to banker Blair Meldrum, kept her away until she and Blair retired to the family home more than 40 years later. Around the turn of the century Lenore took over the management of the historical museum and its expanding exhibition rooms, while Blair became a dedicated committee man and produced a new edition of local history, Hinka-Booma to Kenilworth, before his untimely death. Nearing 80, Lenore has lost none of her boundless energy nor her passion for the history of the valley. We’ve talked for hours, but I’ve got to get on the road for Imbil, with a few stops along the way. There’s just time for her to see me off and raise another chuckle at the sight of a fellow

Festival celebrates newest Sunshine Coast beachfront The wait is almost over for residents and visitors to be some of the first to experience the Sunshine Coast’s most exciting new beachfront parkland. Mooloolaba’s Northern Parkland will open for the Queensland school holidays featuring a vibrant and free community event on Saturday 2 July. Organised by the Mooloolaba Chamber of Commerce with the support of Sunshine Coast Council, the Mooloolaba Foreshore Festival will celebrate the grand opening of the Northern Parkland with live music, markets, and family-friendly entertainment. The announcement comes as the final pieces of the Northern Parkland’s adventure playground, the impressive Pandanus Towers and slides, were lifted into place by crane on Monday 6 June. Sunshine Coast Council Division 4 Councillor Joe Natoli said the playground would be a huge drawcard for residents and visitors. “There’s really nothing else like it on the Sunshine Coast,” Cr Natoli said. “I’m sure Mooloolaba’s Northern Parkland will be one of the most popular destinations in the region when it opens for the school holidays. “There is an incredible adventure playground, beautiful parkland, new picnic and barbecue spaces, and unencumbered ocean views from every angle. “It’s yet another great reason to visit Mooloolaba. “You’ll enjoy strolling the local shops, dining at one of the many cafes and restaurants and unwinding at some of the most stunning beachfront parkland in the region. “Mark your diary for Saturday 2 July.

Jangle pop/alt country five-piece Full Power Happy Hour is launching its new single, Siblings, in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 1 July. They will be supported by alt-country songwriter Nathan Join Kearney and singer-songwriter Zac Gunthorpe. Siblings is the vibrant new single by the Brisbane indie-folk fun merchants, and it delves into the unique intensity of close blood relationships - you can choose your friends but never your family. Alex Campbell’s hook-laden and ultra-expressive vocals ride atop crisp, bouncy acoustic melodies and rousing gang vocal counterpoints. Full Power Happy Hour first captured hometown hearts with their heartfelt, highenergy live shows and parlayed that momentum into their acclaimed 2021 self-titled debut album. That initial collection was released to great acclaim - deemed Album Of The Week in numerous publications - and debuting at number four on the AIR independent Chart upon release. With songs based around the beguiling world view and bewitching vocals of singersongwriter Alex Campbell, the band’s unique aesthetic mixes the intimacy and fragility of ‘60s folk singers like Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez with the ramshackle bonhomie of The Pogues, tempered by a more modern indie-rock sensibility akin to The Clean. The results are purely and defiantly Full Power Happy Hour. Buoyed by the success of their debut and their first extensive tours away from home, the band return with their confident and assured second album which is still rife with impassioned lyrics, joyful camaraderie, and heartstirring harmonies, but now with more focused arrangements and a self- belief in both writing and delivery that elevates these songs to new emotional and visceral heights without sacrificing any of the band’s inherent, laidback charm.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Years of inaction on power A couple of days ago I saw a rugged up Energy Minister Chris Bowen in Canberra with a nose as red as a lorikeet’s beak, and his hair standing upright in a cold arctic blast, blaming “nine years of inaction“ by the former government for the current energy crisis and gas shortage. What BS. I was a freelance journalist in Gladstone when the Curtis Island LNG plants were approved, constructed, and export contracts signed, consigning the bulk of their gas output overseas at a fraction of the cost of domestic supplies. That was under the auspices of Labor governments at both State and Federal levels, which also turned a blind eye to obvious environmental issues. Admittedly, the subsequent Coalition governments did little to rectify things by ensuring an adequate domestic supply. Only Western Australia has had the foresight to do this, setting aside 15 per cent for local use. Residents and businesses there are reaping the benefits now, while eastern states are stumbling, fumbling and shivering, with a critical shortage of gas to back up base load coal generators. These are having their own reliability and maintenance problems as a result of recent and foreshadowed closures to make way for more renewables. When the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow, these Chinese-built wind turbines and acres of solar panels contribute zero to meeting peak demand. Reality bites and the Russian invasion of Ukraine only makes a predictable bad situation worse. John Mikkelsen, Noosa

Family is what it is Being born in 1938, there was never ever any question in regard to who your father was as science had not developed how to use what nature had created and further create a human for those couples who unfortunately could not create their own but still use the same procedure. I have no desire to challenge or question the name of my father on my birth certificate. My older sister and younger brother who I grew up with, I am certain would feel the same way. We lost, as a family, a sister at child birth,

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. Ingrid Jackson, Former Noosa Councillor

Ten years ago Warner Manning, of Noosa Springs, started to take an interest in the area’s resident koalas, realising they were becoming an endangered species through a scarcity of gum trees to feed them. He rallied some of his neighbours and they agreed to sponsor him in his fundraising run to help the koalas in the Sunshine Coast HalfMarathon at Alexandra Headland in August, 2012. “I had only run one marathon some years before and I was told that if I didn’t finish I would have to pay the pledges myself so there was considerable interest on my part to complete the course!” He brought home $4700 and the Noosa

Springs movement to maintain and develop habitat for local birdlife, koalas, kangaroos and other animals was born. “There are about half a dozen of us in the group and we took advice on the density and type of trees we needed. We literally counted every tree already there and then raised more money to plant more gum trees of the particular type koalas like to feed on. “We installed an irrigation system to support the young trees and Noosa Council gave us $2000 for more gum trees as well as ground plants which, when they flowered, would be good for birds.” Warner said the group also built a log bridge so koalas could cross Noosa Springs Creek which flows into Lake Weyba to “facilitate the Noosa koala corridor around the lake”.

The volunteers raise money every year with a music festival at Noosa Springs. They also donate to other Noosa conservation organisations like Koala Rescue. Said Warner: “We have an arrangement with Koala Rescue that, if they do have a rescue they want to release into the wild, we release it into the designated area. We give them a donation for each release.” Last week it gave $2000 to Wildlife Noosa, a volunteer group which rescues and transports injured wildlife to sanctuaries. Asked what he thought about the hotel proposal now before Noosa Council, Warner said, “I’m aware that it calls for the removal of some wildlife recreation areas and I’m not for that. It shouldn’t be done. We need to conserve places like this.”

Unitywater usage charges are locked in Unitywater has announced its pricing for 2022-23 with usage charges locked in for the eighth year in a row. An increase of 2 per cent on Unitywater water and sewerage access charges means the average Sunshine Coast and Noosa household (using 375 litres per day) will pay an extra $7.42 on their quarterly bill, including the State Government Bulk Water increase of $2.40. Acting chief executive officer Pauline Thomson said the increase would cover up-

grades to essential water and sewerage infrastructure. “We’ve committed over $1 billion over the next five years to continue providing reliable services to the communities we serve. We are also supporting sustainable population growth in our region, building infrastructure to service emerging communities like Aura and Harmony,” she said. “We’ve worked hard to keep the increase as low as possible and at an annual increase of 2 per cent, it’s less than CPI. Our usage charges

have remained the same since 2014-15.” Ms Thomson said Unitywater’s Customer Care Program was always available. “We know it’s been a tough couple of years and if any of our customers are struggling to pay their bill, we encourage them to contact us as soon as possible so that we can help them – we have payment plans and other support available.” The 2022-23 prices come into effect on 1 July 2022 and full details can be found at unitywater.com/pricing

On The Soapbox Councillor Amelia Lorentson

Burgess Creek solutions At last Thursday’s Ordinary meeting I requested that Council resolve the following matters in regards to Burgess Creek as a matter of urgency: A. Actions to be undertaken by Council to manage the Burgess Creek Mouth, including erosion management. B. Council’s current and future plans in relation to the management of outflows and water quality from the Unity Water Wastewater Treatment Plant discharging into Burgess Creek. C. Council’s obligations as a trustee, including, but not limited to: 1. Council’s responsibilities and obligations for stormwater pipes, culverts and other infrastructure which stormwater and treated wastewater are channelled. 2. Council’s duties in respect of downstream erosion caused to dunes and beaches as a result of storm water discharge and wastewater outflows from the Unity Water Wastewater Treatment Plant. D. Possible funding options and opportunities from Unity Water, State and Federal governments for long-term integrated catchment and coastal management and infrastructure solutions. My proposal was supported unanimously. Background: The northern end of Sunshine Beach to Plover Street at Peregian is a Reserve under the Qld Land Act (the Act) for Recreational Purposes of which Council is a trustee. Under the Act, Noosa Council is bound as trustee over State land to exercise its duty of care for the land and the beaches under its control. My comments: Over the last two to three months, I have met with residents regarding the significant damage of the Burgess Creek Foreshore and concerns regarding the discolouration of the Burgess Creek flow. They are concerned that the treated wastewater and stormwater flowing out of Burgess Creek is causing pollution, possible health risks and significant erosion to our dunes and beaches. The four-metre drop from the dunes to the beach is a potential source of injury for beach users. And the erosion is threatening public infrastructure, roads and the coastal ecosystem. Historically, Council has dug the creek and redirected the flow into the ocean. Residents have raised concerns that failure to have done so over recent months, and the recent downpour that they believe has pushed all the stormwater into the creek plus the treated wastewater from Unity Water, has resulted in the significant foreshore damage. The treated wastewater and stormwater are flowing consistently, eroding dunes by what some residents estimate at two metres a day. This is not (IMO) mother nature at work. Over the last two months chief executive officer and Council staff have met with residents and have advised residents that action is underway to re-establish the river mouth of the Burgess Creek and re-direct the creek discharge to the ocean. My proposal seeks details of this commitment, including the following data and information: Unity Water figures on amount of wastewater discharge over the last 20 years. The actual amount of stormwater being discharged into the Creek. Evidence/footage that the footage entering the creek is in fact naturally occurring tannins. “WARNING - creek water contains treated sewage effluent”. How much sewage effluent? What are acceptable levels? If the levels are acceptable, why isn’t the water re-used for irrigation, public cleaning… Or should we be arguing, as one of the three shareholders of Unity Water, that there is no acceptable level. (Unity Water is a statutory authority,

with three shareholders, Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast and Noosa Councils.) Council’s obligations as trustee in respect of downstream erosion caused to dunes and beaches as a result of storm water discharge and wastewater outflows from the Unity Water Wastewater Treatment Plant. Council’s responsibilities for stormwater pipes, culverts and other infrastructure which stormwater and treated wastewater are channelled. Council’s current and future plans in relation to the management of outflows and water quality from the Unity Water Wastewater Treatment Plant discharging into Burgess Creek. It also requests consideration of the following short term and longer-term solutions: Short-term solutions such as temporarily barricading portions of the beach where there is a risk of someone being hurt, and other actions such as re-profiling the beaches and sand to stop the dune erosion. Longer-term solutions, such as an armour rock revetment system at the creek mouth or the use of geofabric bags. A long- term investment strategy and water management plan. I propose that Council investigates and explores potential partners and partnership opportunities and funding with Unity Water,

The same is needed in Noosa. Noosa Beaches and our coastal dunes are one of our most important assets and must be protected and prioritised. What we are seeing at Burgess Creek, is not (IMO) a natural occurrence. It’s the constant flow of sewage and the amount of stormwater during a weather event that is causing the erosion, not Mother Nature. What we are witnessing is (IMO) an environmental emergency that requires us to respond and act: Cut a direct channel, replenish the dunes, develop a water management plan with Unity Water and State, Federal government. And finally, embed the value of our beaches by integrating natural assets into our asset management systems. Since 2007, the Noosa Shire has held UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status that recognises our efforts to “manage the region’s land, waters and wildlife sustainably, in balance with its urban population and visitors across the globe”. This is our chance to put words, into action. Noosa, different by nature. (My proposal was supported unanimously by all the Councillors. A report will be coming back to Council in response to my proposal.) This is the opinion and Notified Motion of Cr Amelia Lorentson, and does not necessarily represent the views of Council.

· · ·

State and Federal government to develop a water management plan - a long- term integrated catchment and coastal management and infrastructure solutions. Noosa residents pay stamp duty and land tax to the State government and, given the 36.5 per cent increase in land valuations, there is a strong case for Council to put together a funding package for the State government. (Noosa Shire Council on 31 March 2022, the Valuer General released land valuations for 22,183 properties with a total value of $13,087,399,600). For example: Bondi Beach: In 2012 Waverley Council built the Bondi Stormwater Scheme, which diverts 50 million litres of stormwater from being discharged into the ocean every year and treats it so it can be re-used for public cleaning, toilets and irrigation. And The Mary River Rehabilitation success story at Kenilworth where about 20 years ago, floods cut away thousands of cubic metres of farmland, that released sediments in catchments flowing onto the Great Barrier Reef. In 2015, earthmoving equipment, and 6m long timber piles reshaped the eroded sand cliffs that have slowed the flow of floodwater and erosion in Kenilworth. It took political will, community will and a long-term investment strategy to make this happen.

Don’t miss the Grigoryan Brothers exclusive performance for Noosa Alive on 25 July.

Reflections of Australia in music Don’t miss an exclusive performance by the Grigoryan Brothers for Noosa Alive on 25 July from 7pm at The J. Acclaimed guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan have created a suite of music inspired by objects personally selected from the National Museum of Australia’s vast collection tracing Australia’s diverse and complex history. The evocative nature of each of the 18 compositions is heightened by the projection of a high-definition 3D video of the relevant object. The power this has on the listener/observer is palpable. Incorporating all their influences from classical to jazz and contemporary music, performed on a variety of guitars (electric, eight string tenor ukulele, 12 string and classical), audiences will see and hear the Grigoryan

Brothers like never before. This Is Us is also a personal declaration from Slava and Leonard, that this music, composed during lockdown with each living in different states, is a new direction for them. While they have included original compositions in the past, this is the first time they will be performing an entire program of original works. “We chose objects that try to represent some of our First Nations’ history as well as colonisation, migration, innovation and stories of love and loss. We were deeply moved by all of them,” Slava and Leonard Grigoryan said. The objects and music take us from the deep past of early Indigenous Australians to the making of contemporary Australian society.

Eighteen individual musical compositions relate the brothers’ response to, and feeling for, their personal selection of objects from the 250,000 in the Museum’s collection. Each composition focuses on a particular object, among them a 65,000 year old ochre of the Madjebebe rock shelter, a convict love token relating the experience of transportation, the stream anchor from Matthew Flinders’ HMS Investigator, a preserved wet specimen of a whole skinned thylacine, the Kimberley spear point fashioned by Aboriginal people from glass, a cricket bat of the famed Sir Donald Bradman, and the prototype Holden motorcar that began the car manufacturing industry in Australia.

Ian’s entertaining in style By Jim Fagan Master showman Ian Mackellar is setting the stage for a highly creative variety of theatre and street events to entertain Noosa between now and the end of the year. First up is Noosa alive! the arts and culture festival which is celebrating 20 years of bringing world class performers here. It starts on 21 July for 10 days and, immediately following, Ian will start rehearsals for The Boy from Oz, which he has already cast, and then start curating the entertainment for the third annual 12 Days of Christmas festivities on Hastings Street. It’s hard to pick what is exciting him most. Noosa alive! performances at the J by star artists including James Morrison and Paul Kelly or gala events like the Long Lunch on Hastings Street (formerly with the Food and Wine Festival) with 400 people dining al fresco and enjoying fine food, wine and entertainment – Noosa style. And then there’s the Beach Jazz ‘n Blues concert on Main Beach on the last day of the festival with what Ian describes as some of the “best jazz musicians and vocalists in Australia”. When we met, it was clear his thoughts were on the festival and, among the array of talented acts it has this year, a stand-out event for him was Noosa STARS alive! showcasing Noosa talent of young locals from 8 to 18. “I wanted to present an event featuring local young stars of the future, giving them the opportunity to perform within a professional environment and professional production. “It’s all been done by audition. We had some 50 applications from within the shire and 12 finalists have been selected. On 26 July we are presenting a variety program at the J Theatre,

Ian Mackellar sits down to chat about the exciting, upcoming Noosa alive! with two bands and four quite different dance performances from solo ballerinas to 13 under-10 dancers. “There’s also a violinist, a contortionist and a couple of super talented solo singer songwriters and duo singers. STARS will be adjudicated by Noosa alive! president Andrew Stafford, Noosa Arts Theatre president Frank Wilkie and Hastings Street special projects manager Alesha Gooderham.

“It’s such a marvellous opportunity to present young talent before a live audience. Noosa STARS alive! will also feature a couple of numbers from The Boy from Oz which is a forthcoming production I am directing for Noosa Arts Theatre. “One of the things I was looking for when casting the iconic role of Peter Allen was likeability. You have to like Peter Allen within the first 30 seconds of meeting, I’m delighted to

say I have found a remarkable young man, Sam Henderson to play this iconic role. Sam had me in the palm of his hand in 10 seconds. “Then you have wonderful roles like Judy Garland and Liza Minelli. I think Noosa is in for an absolute treat. It’s very fast-paced show and I can’t wait to present this great musical.” Ian’s involvement with Noosa alive! (formerly Noosa Longweekend), started in 2008 when he took on the role of festival director. He stayed there for 10 years then had what he calls a sabbatical, for two years, and returned to NA! last year. He said the 20-year anniversary of the founding of the festival by David and Kristin Williamson would be “a wonderful way to observe and celebrate a milestone. Many not for profit arts and culture festivals come and go but we are still here”. He says there was an up close and personal uniqueness about Noosa alive! which relied heavily on volunteers. “You can go along and enjoy world class performers and enjoy a drink with them at the bar after the show. Not many festivals are able to do that.” Ian has done some research on the festival’s history. “In the 20 years we have presented more than 3300 performances/events and more than 5800 artists, authors, celebrities and special guests. “We have attracted people from all over Australia and the world. Contributions to our local economy generate on average $2.2 million dollars annually. Add that up over 20 years and it is considerable.” For full event details and tickets, visit noosaalive.com.au

August River Band set to rock at Eummundi in July Put Saturday 9 July in your diary for a great night of live local music at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi with August River Band, supported by Lucid Safari. Hearing August River Band for the first time, you may find yourself thinking Roy Orbison was fronting an unplugged Faith No More show with Stuart Copeland on drums. Prepare yourself for cinematic lyrical noir with dark tales full of imagery from a lost Cohen Bros script, odd-time metal riffs played on acoustic guitars, soaring and swooning classical violin layers underpinned by heavy dub rock basslines, harmonies and a heavy dose of poetic romance. This is a band with nothing to prove other than how beautiful it truly is to pour love into the creative rivers of life, love and loss. Big, bold and beautiful - the August River Band’s debut live studio album Thank You Pain is available for full immersion on high quality vinyl, and all streaming platforms if you still haven’t got a turntable for your hifi.

Gala brings funds to care Katie Rose Cottage Hospice at Doonan held a Forget Me Not Gala event last Saturday night at Alba by Kuravita, one of its many fundraising events organised each year to continue to deliver its palliative care services. Guests were welcomed by dancing fairies and greeted with a cocktail before enjoying a sumptuous meal as part of the festivities. Event organiser Leigh McCready said they were grateful to the 110 community members, elected representatives and sponsors for attending and supporting their first gala. “The gala raised around $75,000 for the fit out of our expanded facility from three to five guest rooms, including new cuddle beds for the rooms, and to fund our ongoing operational expenses,” she said. The hospice has plans to expand its Doonan service, thanks to a $1.5m federal government grant, with two more palliative care rooms as well as introducing a home palliative-care outreach service in Noosa and northern Sunshine Coast which, in partnership with Queensland Health, will provide end-of-life care for 10 people a day. The Doonan hospice is known as -- “a happy place, where sad things happen”. There is no charge for this compassionate service which receives about 20 per cent of its funds from the State Government and the remaining 80 per cent from local people who regard it with warmth, affection and admiration. Hospice chairperson Carol Raye asked people to consider supporting the continued success of Katie Rose Hospice with a tax-deductible donation. “We will always need your help,” she said. Ms McCready said they were already looking forward to their next event and invited interested businesses and individuals to get in touch to be involved.

Back to basics in Bali By Phil Jarratt

Door detail.

Basic beachside bliss in Bali. Okay, our alang alang roof bungalow had power 24/7 and a sit-down toilet, and even the mandi shower set up had some concessions to modernity, with a plastic bucket taking the place of the old concrete well. When grandpa and a couple of grandkids hauled in our hot water supply in another insulated bucket, we were in sheer bloody luxury! And from our tiny terrace we looked across a cow paddock (with cows) to the Lombok Strait.

Breakfast of banana pancake and Bali coffee was served on a deck at the water’s edge. Beautifully simple and simply beautiful. I don’t know whether the return to simple local-style accommodation is a trend or just an aberration, but I hope it’s the former. Disclosure: I’m writing this from my poolside office in the villa we’ve stayed in for years, and it’s a little bit luxurious. But it’s nice to have the option of revisiting your roots.

Bali is in rebound, no doubt about it. Since reopening for international tourism in March, the island has seen arrivals climb from 15,000 in April to an estimated 40,000 in May, with Australians leading the way. The Indonesian government is hopeful that 1.4 million Australians will have visited by the end of the year, but that will still leave Bali a long way short of its pre-Covid 6.3 million internationals a year. The trendy parts of Canggu, Seminyak and Kerobokan are crowded again, restaurants full and pretty young things are driving way too fast on motor scooters everywhere you look. But in subtle ways, it’s a different Bali from the one we left in 2019. While the lack of international tourists (51 in 2021) has devastated the local economy, many Balinese retreated into the sanctity of their villages and picked up where they left off, growing their own food and living the simple life. We were talking about this with some expat friends the other night and it was suggested that we try a little beachfront home stay on the east coast where they’d effectively turned back the clock 50 years. Sworn to secrecy about its name and exact location, we drove up there last weekend. When I first came to Bali 48 years ago I stayed in a simple losmen, one cow paddock back from the beach, generator electricity a couple of hours a day, a crouch toilet and cold water mandi. Breakfast of tea and bananas was left at the little table on the concrete slab porch. This was right about where the Hard Rock Hotel is in Kuta today. Our weekend hideaway up the coast took me right back there, and the journey was wonderful. Having stripped back staff to just immediate family and reduced rates, our hosts were busy and happy as they fussed about us, just like they did in Kuta all those years ago.

SPORT

T20 is coming to Noosa The Sunshine Coast Cricket Association (SCCA) has partnered with Brisbane Premier League franchise the Coastal Marlins to launch a new pre-season T20 senior competition called The Travis Schultz & Partners Sunny Coast Smash. Over one weekend, from 9 -11 September, four teams will play under lights for the title in the inaugural season at the Tewantin-Noosa Cricket Club. Local Sunshine Coast businesses will have the chance to own any of the four franchises – Bull Sharks, Mudcrabs, Snapper and Yellowfins – making this a holistic way to connect passionate cricketers with the game they love. Senior players can self-nominate and will be selected by team owners and coaches in what will be an opportunity for club cricketers on the Sunshine Coast to experience playing in a franchise-style competition. Team owners will select players with the aim to promote local cricketers and engage regional players to come and experience playing with and against some of the Sunshine Coast’s best cricketing talent. “At Travis Schultz & Partners, we value relationships and community so for me, supporting a game I love while helping the broader community makes sponsoring cricket quite irresistible,” Travis Schultz & Partners managing partner Travis Schultz said. “Cricket is not only a great sport. It provides a unique opportunity for players to learn about teamwork, comradery, patience, strategy and fellowship, all while exercising and enjoying some time outdoors.” “SCCA are very excited to be able to partner with the Coastal Marlins in providing a franchise opportunity to our local players to play T20. The Travis Schultz & Partners Sunny Coast Smash allows players to play with players from other clubs that during the season are their rivals,” SCCA vice president

Brendan Schultz from Sunshine Coast Scorchers. Jeremy Schultz said. Coastal Marlins general manager Andrew Pearce said his club was passionate about growing and promoting cricket on the Sunshine Coast.

“We are stoked to be partnering with the SCCA to deliver the first ever Travis Schultz & Partners Sunny Coast Smash with four locally owned franchises coming together for the ultimate T20 cricket weekend,” he said.

“The Coastal Marlins look forward to working closely with both the SCCA and the Scorchers into the future to develop players, coaches and the game on the Sunshine Coast through many new and exciting initiatives.”

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Influx of mackerel and long tail tuna on the bite ing them very versatile. Try fishing around Munna Point on a tide change and all along the ski run if the waters are clear enough. The lack of rain and the bigger tides should see baitfish get pushed further up which will see the fish move with them. If you can find the dirty water line where the two tides meet, this can often be an amazing fishing spot as fish will feed in this mixing of currents. For those looking for a more relaxed approach, then pick up a tub of beach worm and head to the river mouth. Try your luck in the

neap tides on the local whiting, bream and flathead. These tides do not carry big currents and give you a longer fishing window. With the current weather there is no better time to be out there. 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.

Make sure you use big fresh baits with some bait thread to keep things in place as jewies are sticklers for presentation. The river continues to come up trumps with diamonds, goldens, queens and a few ghosts. Winter is the time of year where we see trevally, queenfish and jewfish showing up throughout the system.

With the continuation of good weather right through, it feels like we are truly blessed to live here. The lack of swell held off with a mid-week south-east pulse seeing a few small sets on the bar. With a bit of patience, an easy crossing was still achievable for all. The consistent winds from the west gave way to beautiful clear days and water. The lead up to the super moon saw an influx of mackerel and longtail tuna on the bite. These fish appeared to be found everywhere in the shallower areas of Sunshine, Halls, Teewah, Peregian, Coolum and beyond. The bigger tides carried in the bait which were reported as small whitebait around 40mm in length. This saw most anglers casting 20-30 grams slugs and 3-4 inch soft plastics. If throwing soft plastics, then small minnows like the power bait 3 inch in watermelon pearl is a successful colour. You are best to match these to a 3/8th jighead and 20lb line for better presentation and results. The great thing about this method is you can always sink them to the bottom for reef fish. On the reef fish side of things smaller snapper continue their run. Water temps are still pretty high so the cooler waters out wide are showing slightly bigger fish. Out wide, the Hards is coming up trumps with some solid reds taken on big flesh baits. If targeting big fish on gang hooks, makes sure you use the Shogun gangs. These hooks won’t let you down when it comes to the crunch. Off the beaches many anglers are preparing for the winter run of jewfish. These fish can take some working out and only persistence pays. With some swell on the way the next minor moon phase is certainly worth a shot. For those who love traditional fiberglass rods

Healey rules home course An outstanding five-under-par 66 in last week’s Tuesday club competition is evidence enough that Noosa club professional Shane Healey’s golf game stacks up against anyone’s. And if you needed further proof, you need only look at his performances in the Legends Tour pro-am that Noosa hosts each December. It’s the only tournament that Healey plays. Last year he shot two-under 70 to finish top 10. The year before, his 68 earned him fourth place. But, as talented as he is, the prospect of playing tournaments on a regular basis holds no interest for a man who has lived on the Sunshine Coast for more than 40 years, and has worked in Noosa’s pro shop for most of that time. Former head pro Mark Tickle, a regular on the Legends Tour, has suggested to him many times that Healey would find success playing for money around the country. “But that sort of life’s not for me,” he said. “I’m much happier playing with my mates here, and having a few beers after a round.” Healey said he liked to schedule his working week to allow him to play with the members on Tuesdays. “I reckon I play about 30 times a year,” he said, acknowledging that last week’s round was one of his better efforts. “I’ve always been a good chipper and putter, and that helps around here,” he said. Healey’s round of 66 earned him 40 points in the stableford competition. He shared A grade honours with Noosa assistant professional Tim Butterworth who, like Healey, played off a handicap of plus one. Butterworth, a former champion junior at Noosa, completed his traineeship at the club before relocating to Brisbane. He worked at Drummond stores in Brisbane and Maroochydore before recently returning to Noosa. Great week for Muller family A family holiday at Noosa turned really special for NSW visitor Brendon Muller when he played four great rounds of golf to win this year’s Sunshine Coast Winter Classic which wound up at Noosa Springs on Friday. Brendon, his parents, wife Denni, son Archie, sister Raechelle, her finance Shane Brooks and family friends Garry Spong, James Scott and Kevin Brummell leased a beach house at Castaways for the week-long tournament. “We enjoyed every minute of it,” said 27-year-old Brendon. “A few of us came up last year and had a great time, and we’d been looking forward to coming back.” Brendon, who grew up on the NSW Central Coast, midway between Gosford and Newcastle, lives in Sydney but remains a member of the Toukley Golf Club – as do the rest of his family. “We get up to the Central Coast every two or three weeks and that’s where I play my golf,” he said. Brendon began his week with an impressive 38 stableford points at Maroochy River. He followed up with 36 at Peregian, 39 at Twin Waters and 34 at Noosa Springs, giving him a tournament total of 147 and a nine-stroke victory in A grade. Two golfers from Prosperine filled the placings – Steve Kelly (138 points) and Lewis Tuck (135). Peregian’s Lloyd Dixon (141) was the B grade winner, while Jeanette Giudice, from Keperra, was the women’s champion. Brendon’s mum Penny had led the women’s standings with a round to go, but fell away with a disappointing 23 points at Noosa Springs, not helped by a stomach bug which struck her down the day before. She finished third, just as she did last year. The Winter Classic, now in its third year, was launched to showcase the region’s premier golf courses and attract visitors to the Sunshine Coast during the winter months. It attracted 112 players this year – 93 per cent of 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 June, 2022

Range is for warming up TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER Being ready to play a good round should start from the very first tee shot and that goes back to a good pre-game warm up. The secret is to not hit too many balls but to just hit enough to attain a good feel and rhythm. Hitting balls before your game should be a warm up and not a wear out. Practice hitting shots and clubs required for the course and always finish off hitting the club required on the first tee. Good golfing. PETER HEINIGER, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs head PGA teaching professional

Brendon Muller is congratulated by his sister Raechelle after winning the Winter Classic. them from outside our region. The event has become so popular that a Spring Classic has been scheduled for October. Noosa Springs back on top in junior pennant Sunday Moore beat gun Maroochy River junior Alex Procopis to force a draw and take her Noosa Springs team to the top of Division 1 junior pennant standings after the weekend round of competition at Headland. And Noosa’s Division 2 team, surprisingly beaten last week by Mt Coolum, returned to their best to score a whitewash 4-0 win over Maroochy River 3 and climb into second spot on the standings. Noosa Springs, the defending champion shared the contest 2-2 with Maroochy River 1. Alex Bray, who travels up from Brisbane each weekend to compete, notched his first win, a 3&2 victory over Maroochy River’s Shae Coghlan. Noosa’s Division 1 team went down 3-1 to Maroochy River 2, with Nate Jav scoring the team’s only win. Noosa Springs lost 3-1 to Maroochy River 4 in Division 2, but Noosa’s 4-0 win over Maroochy River 3 kept them in strong contention for a finals berth with only one more round to be played. Grainger finds pay dirt at Cooroy Lee Grainger, a former miner who moved from north Queensland to Kandanga seven years ago, scored a brilliant two-over par 72 to ensure a home town victory in the Cooroy Open on Sunday. Grainger, who won the Cooroy club championship in 2020, scored a one-stroke victory over Keperra’s Dan Butler and Headland’s Andrew Day. And, playing off a handicap of four, Grainger was runner-up in the net competition – two strokes behind Noosa’s Nick Cole, who returned a net score of 66. The Cooroy Open is one of the club’s highest profile events and attracted players from all over the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. Despite the recent flooding rains, the course was in excellent condition for the big day. Grainger, who grew up in Weipa, is a oncea-week golfer who says he seldom practices. He describes himself as a ‘diamond or dust’ player. Tooman shows the younger pros Noosa touring pro Simon Tooman showed he was in peak form for the resumption of the Legends Tour when he shot rounds of 67 and 69 to finish tied fifth in the Emerald Pro-Am, which was decided at the weekend. Tooman’s 36-hole total of four-under 136 – equal with fellow Sunshine Coast star Shae Wools-Cobb (64, 72) – left him seven strokes behind the winner Sam Brazel, who was in great form, shooting rounds of 64 and 65. The Legends Tour resumes on July 7 with a

36-hole pro-am at Yappoon. Meanwhile, Yandina’s Brad Burns (76, 70, 69) overcame a slow start to finish tied 10th in the Fiji Legends Golf Classic, while Sunshine Beach veteran Katherine Kirk shot rounds of 68, 71, 73 and 72 to be tied 64th in the Meijer Classic on the US LPGA Tour. How we fared in women’s pennants Noosa Springs beat Caboolture 4-1 in Sapphire B zone ladies pennants last week. The division is open to women with a maximum handicap of 24, and Noosa Springs’ winners were LeeAnn Hay, Tereza Holley, Meredith Bunn and Di Kemp. In Sapphire A competition, Noosa lost to Cooroy 3-2, Cooroy’s winners being Kate Sawrey, Tina Thomas and Kim Gladman, while Karen Haynes and Sharon Vickers won for Noosa. In the premier Diamonds division, Noosa lost to Bribie Island 3-2, with Noosa’s winners being Olivia Doolan and Annie Quarmby. Noreen Scanlon, Kathy Jones, Irene Kerr and Cristine Baker led Noosa to a 4-1 win over Mt Coolum in Rubies B competition.

Let the Games begin now By Erle Levey Planning for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games and Paralympic Games starts now. Not in four, six or eight years time. And we have to get this right. That is one thing Sydney learned after the 2000 Olympic Games, regarded as one of the most successful events of its type in the history of the modern games. Sydney only got serious four years before the Games. London, worked together as a team for the 2012 Olympics and found that in doing so people travelled further and enjoyed the experience better. The 2032 Summer Games, to be based in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast, will see events also being held throughout the state as well as Victoria and New South Wales. It is the chance to provide a lasting legacy for generations to come. Yet it is a matter of collaboration instead of self-interest, a chance to engender a mind-set of contribution rather than expectation. Sunshine Coast Business Council hosted the Sunshine Coast Regional Tourism: Preparing for 2032 conference at the University of Sunshine Coast. A panel of leading tourism and infrastructure planning experts discussed the Sunshine Coast’s readiness to tackle the challenges and make the most of opportunities the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games will bring to the region. The conference was aimed at bringing clarity to the opportunity, the need and the challenges of what it will take to build the capacity, capability and quality in hospitality services across the Sunshine Coast in the lead-up to the Games. More than 100 business and tourism leaders attended to learn from the lessons of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and more recently London, thanks to Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) chief executive officer Margy Osmond’s experience in the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games and International World Masters Games. Urbis director Kate Meyrick stressed the need to activate a vibrant tourism region - not one that was based on any other place in the world but one that distinctively told an authentic story of the Sunshine Coast’s culture. Other speakers included Visit Sunshine Coast chair, David Ryan, Tourism and Hospitality Services AustralAsia managing director, Rodger Powell, and Transaction Services Hotels Colliers national director, Karen Wales, with closing comments by Sunshine Coast Council’s Economic & Community Development group executive, Greg Laverty. For Margy Osmond, it was a matter of outlining the planning and decision-making processes required for hosting an Olympic scale event. This was particularly in regard to the transport and connectivity challenges an event of this scale can bring to a region and particularly how the small business community can plan and benefit in the lead up to the Games. “With the Sunshine Coast’s population estimated to grow by nearly three percent annually over the next 20 years, the seamless delivery and movement of tourists within the region will be key. “We need to start as early as possible - while 2032 seems a long way off, it will be here in the blink of an eye. “The run-up to the Games has as much benefit as the event itself. “This is not just about Queensland but the rest of the country. Don’t become complacent and expect it to happen... include the rest of Australia.’’ Ms Osmond said it was important not to think only in the dollars but the legacy the Games would bring in the lead-up and then for the next 20, 30, 40, 50 years. The London Games provided the most extraordinary opportunity to shine a light on what makes Britain great, in order to generate long-term economic events. “There was a massive boost to construction and employment,’’ Ms Osmond said. “The benefits are only limited by your vision.’’

The good, the bad and the ugly needed to be considered and worked through with a regional Olympic commerce committee to get people to understand what the Games can bring and avoid the pitfalls. The cost and the local congestion were obstacles. Yet the threat of unused stadiums afterwards that had plagued some cities, would not be a problem. This was due to the popularity of sport and holding such an event in Australia. The benefits would be the long-term investment in infrastructure, the opportunity to see the region for what it is. The Olympics will deliver the Sunshine Coast brand to the world. “Many businesses think they can simply make money,’’ Ms Osmond warned, “yet Sydney had to understand about supply chains. “Like Covid - it stretches from bottled water to toilet paper. “This is an opportunity to service the locals as well as the visitors.’’ Ms Osmond said the level of planning included not just ensuring the infrastructure for the rail network to cope with demand but the need to reschedule the whole network. “Things that might not seem obvious,’’ she said, “but there will be freight crossing over with people. “The railways will be moving goods as well as passengers.’’ It was important to make sure the benefit to the region was not for the couple of weeks of the Games … teams will come in a couple of years before to prepare and there will be people moving here from interstate and internationally. Sporting facilities and transport infrastructure will all need to be in place. “Think about what the region will be like in 10 years time,’’ Ms Osmond said. “Will we all be getting around on electric scooters? “This is a once-in-a-lifetime event.’’ In awarding the Games to Brisbane and South East Queensland, the International Olympic Committee has come to grips with the fact the world has changed. Sustainability is the key word and

Queensland, as well as venues throughout Australia, have 80 per cent of facilities already in place. “The sooner you start working towards this, the better placed you will be. “Just like in Sydney, there is a magic moment when everyone realises this is amazing, this is wonderful.’’ Fisher MP Ted O’Brien said Sydney was was regarded as one of the best games ever. Yet there was one thing they didn’t do and that was not start getting organised early enough. “They started four years out, but they should have started now (10 years). “We need to start the conversation much earlier. Make it clear about the urgency.’’ This required endless training and education programs, as well as information sessions and some great opportunities to think about sustainability. Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer Andrew Brodie said it was important the region talk with one voice even though it is a group of villages. This was why a hub was needed as opposed to a variety of power structures. It would stimulate interest in other areas and create one voice, not a wall of noise. David Ryan said the Sunshine Coast had a relatively short window of opportunity to build on the natural strengths and create infrastructure to drive the region’s tourism economy forward. “There are crucial infrastructure decisions needed to be made about access, attractions, activities, amenity and accommodation that can both meet the needs of a rapidly growing population and an increasingly competitive tourism market.” He warned the Sunshine Coast was dramatically under-supplied with suitable accommodation but that building hotels specifically for the Olympics was a recipe for disaster. The right approach was needed to provide a legacy for business and tourism now and for the future, not just for the two weeks of the Games. That should be the springboard to what comes after, with proper planning needed to

prepare for the event. After all, if you don’t own the future someone will do it to you. Mr Ryan said the Sunshine Coast would have to compete with other regions for visitors. Few know of the Sunshine Coast, most have not heard of Queensland, not many can tell where Australia is. “The destination needs to come together as one - that includes Noosa, Cooloola, Gympie and the Mary Valley. “To stay as we are, decline will become an outcome. While it can be difficult to change, if managed well it will be beneficial.’’ The UNESCO biosphere announcement, recognising the natural amenity of region, was incredibly important, he said. “Everyone can have natural amenity, but you need to realise that. “We have a carbon-neutral airport, universities that supply excellence in sustainability there are incredible investment opportunities in that. “You have this in your hands. If it can be employed it will be a very powerful advantage.’’ An indication of the timeline needed was provided by Sunshine Coast Council’s Greg Laverty. The region will host nine sports - from the marathon to road and mountain bike cycling, from kite boarding to lead-up games for football and basketball. Training camps will be set up four to six years out from 2032. “There are some great opportunities,’’ he said. “We are already receiving requests for international and national bodies to hold events here.’’ Imagine marathon runners from Kenya being based on the Sunshine Coast for two years as their training camp. Or the best cyclists in the world descending on the hinterland for preparations for the mountain biking. The most popular sport in California’s Silicon Valley is kite boarding. Imagine the advantage of the Sunshine Coast hosting that event as well as having the undersea coaxial cable linking the new Maroochydore central business district with the Pacific nations.

Kids dive in for Dolphins It was another great round of rugby on Saturday with the Noosa Dolphins Juniors giving it all they’ve got. Under 12s Noosa 12 defeated by Nambour 41 Nambour won scissors, paper, rock and decided to be on the receiving end of the kickoff. Noosa’s fly half, Harrison Perkins stood up for the kick-off as Noosa started off the first half strong scoring the first try due to a steal in Nambour’s 22 and Tonkler scoring. Unfortunately, Noosa then conceded three backto-back penalties, which allowed Nambour to move further and further up the field and after a quick tap inside Noosa’s 10m line, they ran around Noosa’s defence to score. It was a gripping and very even first half of rugby. It was quite a forwards’-focused game overall as Nambour were consistently running at Noosa’s forwards, who tried their best to get over the ball in the ruck. The backs displayed great skill by defending in a line and stopping the ball getting out to Nambour’s wings. Despite Noosa’s best effort it was not enough. Domino’s Players of the Match were Max, Jasper and Hamish K. Under 11s After a good win last weekend, the team’s confidence was up for Round 9 against Matthew Flinders at Eumundi. Signs were positive as we got away to an early try to Matty Brook who was testing the opposition’s defence with his probing runs that continued throughout the game. However, Matthew Flinders started to roll through the middle and scored four unanswered tries to go 4-1 tries at half-time. After some soul searching at half-time, the boys rallied and began to get some go forward in the rucks, especially from Mac and Kade. The Dolphins defended aggressively, particularly Harry and Lenni, which led to two more Noosa tries. But we were unable to bridge the gap as time ran out 4-3 tries down. We saw great efforts from all the boys and especially big improvements from newcomers Aidan and Liam. Happy holidays to all boys and parents. U10s Reds The Reds looked formidable in their warm-up against Eumundi in Round 9, with solid formation of the line and scrum. On the field, it was a similar story, with the wingers maintaining position and great passing amongst the boys. What a pleasure it has been to watch this outstanding team come together. There’s still work to be done with the forwards and cleaning out the ball to the back line, but the Reds maintained great pressure defensively on the Eumundi side, conceding just one try to the opposition. Tries went to Max T, Cooper, Raffie and Kai among others, with Caesar able to convert a brilliant intercept of the Eumundi ball into a very entertaining try. Tommy and Max yet again proved their skills in an outstanding conversion rate. Max T was Domino’s Player of the Match, with special mention to Albie and Ryker who gave their all and played for the Eumundi side. U10s Fins By Dylan Tasker, coach and poet A lack of commitment at training wasn’t the ideal preparation, Before facing Grammar Saturday morning, Eumundi the destination. A pep talk before the game to remind the boys of the Dolphins’ culture, The club is in good stead with these champions of the future. The Fins started on fire, playing for each other, Shoulder to shoulder as teammate and brother. Archie was picked to captain for the first time this season. His early involvement justified the reason. Ollie was a handful as he terrorised the opposition, He, Perry and Lincoln scored to get in a leading position. The Fins dominated the ruck through the tireless efforts of Bailey and Max, Along with Levi, the trio crashed and cleaned out the packs. Louie and Alby benefited from the quick clean ball, As they shifted the pill to the edges beyond the maul. Seb and Tom got in on the act, Running and passing to each other in a backline pact.

try scoring double. Under 9s As the dew burnt off the green grass of the gladiatorial arena which is Eumundi Oval, the Noosa Dolphins U9s girded their loins to do battle with the arch foe, Grammar Green. Before the crowd had settled into their seats, Mason had gathered the ball from the kick-off and run 70 metres to score under the posts. From the ensuing kick-off, the game turned into one of defence for the Dolphins with Barnaby very much to the fore with a strong tackling effort. As we continued to defend, it seemed that our number 7 was everywhere. This was helped by the fact both Hunter and Jake were wearing number 7 and both were prominent throughout. Emerson took the ball from a subsequent re-

start and had the first of his many devastating runs of the day. Then a brilliant piece of work from Sol saw him rip the ball from Grammar and sprint away for our second try of the day. Showing more moves and better feet than Fred Astaire, Hugo tripped the light fantastic through Grammar’s forward pack bringing the crowd to its feet and scoring a brilliant try. The second half saw Leo, in his final match for the Dolphins, playing out of his skin, tackling everything that moved and topping the run metres. The game ended with a late and well-deserved try to Emmerson and, on the basis, that last try meant the Dolphins triumphed. Jake and Taylor were worthy winners of the Domino’s Players of the Match, and we would like to say thanks and farewell to Leo.

Under 7 Fins Under 7 Fins kicked off at Maroochydore with both teams short on numbers. This led to some open running rugby with Forrest J scoring six tries with lots of open space to run into. We saw great defence by Atlas S and more elusive running from Eddie M. Jaxon C showed his continuing skill learning with a try, some fast tagging and the Domino’s Player of the Match award. Under 7 Reds Under 7 Reds also played at Maroochydore against Grammar. Both teams played well with a very even contest. Theo showed a number of great runs. Lennon scored a couple of elusive stepping tries and Jayden put up some awesome defending. Domino’s Player of the Match was Jayden, who also played his last game with the team. Good luck on your move, Jayden.

Tiger go down to Panthers By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers suffered their third straight loss after going down to Brisbane heavyweights Morningside in a thriller at Noosa last Saturday. In fact, a magnificent goal to the Panthers key forward Nathan Colenso as the last kick of the day sealed the victory for the visitors. And to be fair, Morningside thoroughly deserved their win having been the best team for most

of the day. Don’t get me wrong, as a Noosa Tigers tragic always happy to steal a victory wherever you can, unfortunately Saturday was not the day. The Tigers now must win an away clash versus bottom of the table Sherwood in Brisbane this weekend to keep their finals’ dreams alive. Other than the Redlands game, the Tigers have been in every game in 2022 and have showed immense improvement on their initial

year in the string QAFL competition. We still sit in fifth position on the state league ladder with this week’s encounter prior to the bye just so important. Media award votes for last weekend were: 5. C.McDonald. 4. H.Opie. 3. B.Guthrie. 2. I.McCrimmon. 1. A.Laskey.

A massive thank you to Brendan Fevola and all involved in our president’s lunch last week. To put it simply, one of the best! Please save the date for our Move for Lex day on Saturday 9 July which will be one to remember and also 23 July when we host the great Merv Hughes. Good luck to all teams representing the Noosa Tigers this weekend. Go Tigers

Football stars join ‘Don’t Bottle it Up’ campaign Noosa’s football stars joined the Don’t Bottle it Up campaign on Saturday, highlighting the positive benefits of sports participation in assisting with mental health issues. The Rotary driven initiative, Rotarians 4 Mental Health, is aimed at encouraging people touched by mental health issues to reach out, speak up and seek assistance. At Noosaville Lions Park, community members met Aaron Laskey of Noosa Tigers, Will Christie of Noosa Dolphins, Corey Dodson of Noosa Lions and Hayden Trask of Noosa Pirates, to send a joint message on the importance of sport in developing a healthy lifestyle. Hayden Trask from Noosa Pirates said it was an honour to be a part of the Rotary initiative. “Mental health and PTSD has touched so many people in today’s society and has touched me personally, as well as those close to me,” Hayden said. Will Christie of the Dolphins said, “Playing at the Dolphins provides excellent opportunities for further progress on the field, but also off the field in regards to our player welfare program, which looks after our players in so many ways.” Within the four football codes in Noosa, there is a collective recognition of the very important role that the individual clubs play in creating a climate where the importance of wellness and support programs exist. Corey Dodson of Lions said, “One of the things that soccer has given me is the friendship you get from mates on the pitch. My mates at the Lions have helped me so much when an issue that impacted my life happened.” A key initiative of Noosa Tigers is the planned establishment of a mental health community hub at Rococo Oval. When built, it will be available to assist members of the community, community groups, sporting clubs and schools. Noosa Tigers captain Aaron Laskey said, “It makes me proud to be a member of the Tigers footy team, and the plans from our club to build the mental health hub that will help everybody in the community.” “Our footy club is to be commended for doing this.”

Noosa Lions Corey Dodson, Noosa Tigers Aaron Laskey, Noosa Dolphins Will Christie, and Noosa Pirates Hayden Trask. Rotary clubs of Noosa Heads, Cooroy, Eumundi, Noosa and Noosa Daybreak are actively working through the Don’t Bottle it Up theme aligned to the Rotarians 4 Mental Health campaign. Chairman of the organising committee,

Bob Birkhead, from Noosa Heads Rotary Club said, “This initiative by all five Rotary Clubs is aimed at addressing mental health issues in the area through a program of creating awareness, education, knowledge, support and potential pathways for people who

have been touched by a broad range of mental health issues, including PTSD. “We aim to try and demystify the taboos that are associated with these issues by encouraging people to reach out and Don’t Bottle it Up “

Noosa croquet players put through hoops in competition By Colin Hindson Now the weather has improved, the interclub golf croquet competition is well under way the three levels of play, Pennant (low handicappers), Shield (middle handicappers) and Plate (high handicaps) have all played in recent weeks. Results have been mixed, but promising. On 6 June, our Pennant team travelled to Headland/Buderim to play. This is a tough competition with a number of highly skilled players, some at the state level. Noosa lost the day, 7 games to 3. Rob Moncrieff had a good win against one of the top players in the competition in the singles, then teamed with Niven Gugich for a win in the doubles. Galina Makarova won one game. On 13 June, the Plate team played a home game against Headland/Buderim at the Noosa courts. This was a delayed game from the previous week which was cancelled due to rain. The result was 6 games to 4 to Noosa, but the

William Godsall and Lorry Ryan had a win in the doubles. result was closer than it looked. Headland played two players in their first competition, and the final doubles game had to be forfeited

by Headland due to player illness. Unfortunate but in these days of Covid, something like that is always on the cards. Lorry Ryan of Noosa won both her singles games and teamed with William Godsall for a win in the doubles. The Shield team also played on 13 June against Coolum at Coolum. This resulted in a win, 6 games to 4. Sally Stopps won both her singles games and Richard Bawden and Cher Boyd teamed for a good win in the doubles. Well done to all here. On Monday 20 June, the Plate and Pennant teams both played. The Plate team competed against Caloundra at home and won a very close contest where the final scores were five games to each team and the result went to hoops won, where Noosa was ahead by five. A close day and everyone enjoyed the competition. Teresa Martin stood out with three wins – her two singles and partnering William Godsall in the doubles. The Pennant team’s day at Caloundra was also rewarding as they won 7 games to

3 against strong opposition. Both Rob Moncrieff and John Dark had good days, winning both their singles and a doubles. This keeps them in the hunt for the pennant which they won last year. It is now the half way mark of the interclub season, and the teams all play each other a second time, reversing the home game fixtures. All Noosa teams are still in contention, hopefully the second half of the season sees some continuing form improvement. The Shield team will play its first game at home at Noosa on 27th June against Headland-Buderim, a strong team. They are looking forward to the challenge. A reminder to all interested in trying out the highly skilled and relaxing sport of croquet, come down to the club grounds at Seashell Place in Noosa Heads any Sunday morning from 8.15 onwards and give it a try. No obligations, skilled trainers, always happy to ease people into the game – four lessons free. Friday, 24 June, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 49

Swans race to Cup victory On Saturday at Noosa Pirate Park, the Pirates rugby league club played host to a home game against Maroochydore Swans. On this occasion in the A grade, it was for the President’s Cup, a game which is played by the two top teams after the completion of the first round of competition. Prior to the main game, the Swans had wins in both the U18s and the reserve grade. In the A grade, the Maroochydore Swans got off to a good start. With just six minutes on the clock their very aggressive play saw them score the first try of the match. With their forward pack moving in a tight pattern from a ruck they scored from just 10m out. The kick was unsuccessful, making it 4-0 for the Swans. With the Swans starting to move the ball with some fast backline running, and Noosa being slow to move up in defence, they started to take control. But then in the 13th minute, a loose ball from the Swans saw Pirates Jett McCarthy take possession, and catching the Swans flat-footed, scored just wide of the posts. A good kick saw Pirates lead 6-4. Unfortunately, their lead was short-lived as minutes later, bad handling by Pirates saw the Swans swoop on a loose ball to score under the posts. Swans 10 Noosa 6. Noosa started to tighten their game, and a good passing rush from half way finished by a short kick just over the Swans line, saw Noosa dive on the loose ball to score out wide. Kick failed making it 10-all. Following this in the 31st minute, the Swans’ forwards gained good ground in centre field and with their backline moving up fast when in possession a long pass to the wing saw the Swans score. A good kick from the sideline saw Swans lead 16-10. Then a penalty kick from some 30m out saw them go to halftime with an 18-10 lead. At the resumption of play, a fast move from a play the ball saw the Swans score near the posts giving them a 24-10 lead. With the Noosa defence starting to leave gaps, Swans fullback cut through to make it 28-16. However, with 17 minutes left on the time clock, a Noosa player suffered a severe head knock and after a break of some 20 minutes was, as a precaution, taken to hospital. On resumption of play, the Swans took con-

If Noosa is going to improve, they must learn to play consistent football. At times their backline showed good fast ball control, but didn’t keep up the pressure, and their forwards need to run and attack as a pack. The potential is there, they just need to be consistent. Before the game both Pirates and the Swans formed a circle with players mixing. Then with arms linked, they knelt on one knee and held

The gesture which was called Take a Knee for Ackers, was done with dignity and was well received. Noosa Little Athletics As we go to press, two members of the Noosa Little Athletics Club, Zane Branco and Kristie Edwards, are on a self- organised oversea trip to gain international experience in track and field. Noosa’s head coach Mick Hooper is over the moon after receiving results from overseas.

“On Saturday the Northern Ireland Championships were held and our two young athlete had great results. First of all, Zane won the long jump and Kristie won the 100m sprint title. To think that these young people travelling on their own have won these two titles is indeed a great achievement. It is individual travel and they are seeking experience, and that is what they are getting. We wish them well.” At present their intentions are to travel to Denmark and following that they plan to be in Britain for the U23 Great Britain Titles. We wish them well.

Noosa Dolphins welcome Wallabies for junior clinics The Ray White Noosa Dolphins match this weekend against second-placed Caloundra takes on a whole new feel with the Wallabies descending on the ground in the lead up to the first test against England the following weekend. The national side, both the seniors and the junior Wallabies will attend the match, undertake junior clinics, take to the field in a game of touch involving the Noosa and Caloundra under 13s and 14s, assist the A grade coaching staff running water and have a presence in the bar and canteen. The opportunity, part of the Wallabies’ focus on community engagement, is a fantastic opportunity for rugby players and supporters of all ages according to Dolphins president Jerry Lewis. “We are very excited with the prospect of the full senior Wallabies squad and the junior Wallabies to be at the match. They are very keen to mix with supporters, especially the juniors, with plenty of opportunity for photographs and autographs,” Lewis said. “The junior squad arrive to run the skills clinics from 2pm with the senior squad arriving at 3pm. We encourage everyone to come along and enjoy the day, meet the Wallabies, and stick around for the match.” 50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 June, 2022

Wallabies will undertake junior clinics with Dolphins next weekend. On the field, the Ray White Dolphins come off a very hard fought 14-11 win over third-placed Maroochydore last weekend to regain the John Currey Shield. In a match that saw few tries scored, the

Dolphins relied on defence and penalties to take the match. The big and physical Swans forward pack dominated the much younger Noosa team in set pieces, yet the Dolphins stood firm in de-

fence holding out attacking waves. The victory was desperately needed by the Dolphins as they look to gain momentum leading in the final series and their task gets no easier against the Lighthouses this weekend. The Caloundra side have been clearly the second-best team in this year’s competition behind the still undefeated University side so can be expected to put on a tough showing to retain their ladder position. Dolphins Reserve grade put on their best performance of the season, dominating possession and territory in their 43-19 victory. “The seven well-constructed tries were great to see, but I was particularly impressed with our defensive effort,” said coach Mark Winder. Josh McMaster led the way taking our player of the match honours ably supported by Linc Parsons and Buddah Dwyer.” With the Wallabies’ visit, there are some slight changes to starting times for this weekend: A Grade 3.30pm Reserve Grade 1.30pm Womens 12.12pm Keep up to date with the Wallabies’ visit and all Dolphin Rugby news through the Noosa Rugby Facebook.

World Title race hots up With three events to go before the World Surf League finals series, the heat is really on to make the final five. Watching the world’s best hard charging on a righthand point break with everything on the line should have been compulsive viewing, but to be honest, the time zone difference between El Salvador and Bali proved too challenging, and I’ve just caught up with the highlights packages. And Punta Rocas sure had its moments, going from a brown water onshore mess the first day to oily glass perfection the next and back to fairly ordinary for the final day. There were some outstanding performances in both divisions. First, the women’s where finally Steph Gilmore could shrug off all the speculation about being past her best, ready to retire etc etc, and show the world that she’s still the most stylish female surfer we have. Once she found her wheels in the elimination round, Steph looked a cut above the rest, even current rankings leader Carissa Moore. Steph posted two excellent scores to take her quarter from our own Isabella Nichols, kept her cool in a grinding semi against Caroline Marks, then fired up with another near excellent showing to take the event away from Lakey Peterson. The seven-times’ world champ is now third in the rankings and well-placed to make the final five. In the men’s, our last hopes, Jack Robinson and Callum Robson, were eliminated in the quarter finals, leaving the Brazilian stormtroopers Toledo, Medina and Ferreira to keep out California’s Griffin Colapinto. It got down to Griff and Fil, a rematch of the previous WCT event in G-Land. And this is when it got a bit nasty. Now I’ve been mesmerised by young Colapinto’s rise and rise this season. He looks the complete package now, and a future world champion, possibly this year. But I don’t see how he won that final. They were locked on the same score in the dying minutes, with Toledo holding the win cards of highest single score and priority. And he let Griff go on a mediocre lump which is just enough to punt high and land it in the flats for a win by a point. It was a good move on an ordinary wave but it wasn’t an eight. Toledo couldn’t believe it. Brazil couldn’t believe it. Social media went Brazil nuts with threats and accusations which hopefully will be forgotten by the time the next event starts in Brazil later this week. In the rankings wash up we still have Jack Robinson behind leader Toledo, with Griff slid-

ing into third. Our other chances to make final five are Ethan Ewing at seven and Callum Robson at eight. Wrecks rack up another one Well, the Wrecks and Relics over 50s surf comp sure looked like fun, with plenty of sweet little sliders on offer down at the river mouth. This is the first one I’ve missed in a very long time, but I’ll be back next year. In the meantime I’d like to tell you who won but the Wrecks may have over-sipped at the Reef Hotel pressos because the results don’t seem to have been posted anywhere. Ah well, that’s kind of the spirit of the event. Fortunately, ace photographer Fenna De King was able to provide Life of Brine with a photo coverage, so enjoy the images. Vale Mano Ziul It’s not a name you would have heard unless you were a working part of surfing’s pro tour at some point over the past 30 years, but Mano Ziul, a mild-mannered but fun-loving Brazilian, played a key role in the professional sport’s development.

Smooth cutie from Reid.

In 1984 Mano, a keen surfer, was running a computer store in Rio de Janeiro with a partner when he started messing around with a computerised judging system for surfing contests. He started using the prototype in small contests around Rio and by 1986 he felt it was developed enough to show to the directors of the Association of Surfing Professionals, then the governing body. It took another couple of years of nerding around for Mano to get the system event-ready, but it debuted in 1988 at the Sundek Classic in Sao Paulo, won by Australian Damien Hardman, so it must have been a good system! Mano and his small team were hired by the ASP and the world of pro surfing changed overnight. Being able to know the comparative points situation at any time during a heat enabled surfers to strategise and surf to a plan for the first time. But building an efficient system at beach sites around the world was hard work, as Mano told Swellnet’s Stu Nettle: “It helped that I like to solve problems, because every contest was a challenge.” I got to know Mano during my years man-

“They are looking for a bit more land, and have all been very much taken by the views.’’ Those who have inspected have shown their intent of running cattle but also to put cabins on the property. “It’s been a mixed bag,’’ Garry said. “The present owners have been running cattle, and there has been no cropping in the past 20 years.’’ TREASURE HUNTING It’s a little gem ... a blank canvas for anyone looking for a solid apartment in a small lakefront complex.

I’m really excited about it.’’ The apartment offers single-level living with a sunroom/verandah on entry. It would suit a downsizer, a young couple,

This Gabriel Poole masterpiece has stood the test of time. Located along a high ridge in Parkedge Road connecting to Enterprise Street in Sunshine Beach, this is a highly sought after address. Built initially as a holiday house, the client’s brief was for a quadropod built as high as possible with large glass walls to maximize the view south. Because the prevailing weather was from the south east, no decking was to be incorporated to the south.

NOOSA WATERFRONT MAGIC SHORT of feeling sand between your toes, watching stunning sunsets from the sunsplashed terrace of a lavish apartment in the dress circle with dazzling seascapes across the Noosa River to the North shore, means virtually dining on the beach. Just add salt-tinged air, the subtle sounds of waves lapping the shore and a holiday mood. A waterfront oasis of secluded luxury, Las Rias’ connection to the Noosa River embraces a picture-perfect panorama - one of the widest and longest on the waterfront. Prized Las Rias building in a quiet cul-de-sac, is instantly recognised by the signature wall sculpture of a queen conch shell near the entry way. It has a proud history over three decades welcoming owners and guests, to its prominent position on the main arm of the Noosa River at the very tip of Noosa Sound - the curve of a wide sand beach with private jetty and floating pontoon. This luxurious apartment has been enjoyed by the current owners since its completion in 1990 when they purchased it off the plan. Its ground floor position takes complete advantage of the kaleidoscope of river joy, blue and sandy hues plus views of the hinterland mountains, all absolutely jaw dropping and uninterrupted. Crisp neutral toned interiors salute a

sea of colour and the passing parade of river traffic, while open plan living entices you to enjoy countless days in residence in absolute comfort. The master bedroom with walk-in-robe and spacious ensuite,is on the waterside so wake up to a river view or close the plantation shutters for a sleep in. Two additional bedrooms have access to the nearby main bathroom/laundry.

The kitchen is also impressive as it captures those magical views beyond the living space and undercover terrace. A dedicated management team in the front of house office ensures the building, beach, pool,and grounds are kept in topnotch condition year-round. It’s barely a two-minute level walk to cafes, take-outs, classy waterfront restaurants and a few minutes further to

Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park. “The popular Las Rias complex is a year-round idyllic playground with back-toback bookingsand a strong capital growth history of 10% compound interest per annum which willundoubtedly continue, due tothe zero lack ofriverfront land for future development,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate Agent Jesse Stowers. “The location is perfect so you can leave the car in its secure undercover space and stroll to the restaurants and cafes in nearby Quamby Place, also Gympie Terrace.” Facts&Features: Apartment Size: 135m2 About: single level, ground floor, allocated car parking with storage room Inventory: fully inclusive Las Rias: boutique complex; professionally managed; private beach; private jetty; pontoon; heated pool & spa; sauna; lift; Foxtel & wi-fi; tour desk; kayak + paddleboards hire Location: Nearby Quamby Park & tennis courts;QuambyPlace restaurants, liquor outlet, supermarket etc; walk to Hastings street, Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park & Surfing Reserve, Noosa Village; Gympie Terrace Noosaville riverfront restaurants, cafes + boutiques ●

How about a striking designer residence, dazzling expansive pool, central courtyard, terraces, exquisite, landscaped gardens, and captivating views, which on the north-side seemingly stretch beyond the boundary to the waterlily-dotted lake near the 16th fairway? Sounds like a double eagle. Almost. High-specification features are evident from the front garden and covered entrance, then confirmed when the statement entry door opens to reveal a gallery-like hallway. 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.

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.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

NOOSA HINTERLAND LIFESTYLE AND INCOME NESTLED in the Noosa hinterland, just seven minutes from the historic village of Pomona, Noosa Avalon Cottages is the perfect property for anyone seeking a lifestyle change that’s also incomeproducing. This stunning property at 292 Pomona Kin Kin Road Pinbarren is now for sale, offering a rare chance to secure acreage and an ideal work-life balance in a highly sought-after area. Positioned on a generous 11.72ha* of prime land, Noosa Avalon Cottages operates as a popular Airbnb accommodation provider with bookings right up to Christmas. The property comprises a four-bedroom, two-bathroom main home plus five uniquely styled and privately positioned cottages that rent for $150 to $275 per night. There’s a large amphitheatre suitable for functions, eight water tanks, five septic systems and a swimming dam. Development application approval is in place for two additional cottages and

a 600m2 shed with a liveable caretaker’s mezzanine, a significant advantage given the area’s rural zoning. Ray White Commercial Noosa & Sunshine Coast North Agent Chantel Dielwart says this popular retreat is an ideal opportunity for anyone looking for a simpler life. “It’s the sort of place where you arrive and never want to leave. You want to light the fire, pour a glass of red, put your feet up and enjoy the tranquillity and spectacular views. It feels like you’re miles away from anything but it’s so close to

Pomona village and Noosa is only half an hour away,” Chantel said. “The cottages have a strong following as a farm stay experience, outstanding reviews and many repeat customers. With the DA in place for additional cottages, it’s a brilliant chance to realise the potential of this property and expand a well-established income stream.” Each light-filled cottage has a warm, inviting ambience and its own story to tell. Two cottages were originally part of the old Brisbane hospital, transported to

the site and beautifully refurbished, while another is built entirely from recycled and upcycled materials. The popular Kangaroo Cottage was built just ten years ago but remains true to the authentic rustic charm of the earlier buildings. This particular cottage overlooks the hinterland. All cottages come fully furnished, including all linen, cutlery, fridges/ freezer and more, all ready for guests. Chantel says Ray White Commercial Noosa & Sunshine Coast North has been inundated with enquiry since Noosa Avalon Cottages hit the market. The property is drawing interest from everywhere including locals who recognise the potential of this popular retreat and people from interstate keen to make a tree change to the Sunshine Coast. The property is for sale by Expressions of Interest, closing at 4pm Tuesday 19 July 2022. Contact Chantel Dielwart or Paul Butler at Ray White Commercial Noosa & Sunshine Coast North on 0421 466 696 to inspect Noosa Avalon Cottages. ●

HOME FOCUS

IMAGINE THE LIFESTYLE WALKING back from my morning swim at glorious Sunshine Beach through quiet, leafy, “Wildflower” Street, I chance upon a “For Sale” sign on a charming, elevated, 506m2 Duplex block, which offered the potential of ocean views and a blank canvas for a whole new experience by the sea. My first thought was for the fortunate purchaser who could custom design the most stunning lifestyle home or Duplex and really make a statement in this exclusive beach enclave. With direct beach access only a 300m stroll from this address (via Pilchers Gap), and the Sunshine Beach eateries, village and surf club within 650m, my mind began to daydream over the Sunshine BeachSunrise Beach stretch as an area of natural beauty with excellent beach fishing, surf breaks and lifeguard patrolled beach areas.

Whether land-banking for future capital gain or looking to build an exceptional residence to call ‘home’ in arguably one of the Coast’s finest locations my overwhelming feeling was that this was an outstanding opportunity. Sunshine Beach amenities including boutique dining, surf club, local schools, aquatic centre, and more are quickly and easily accessed; and Noosa’s major amenities are just up the road…you will want for nothing. Duplex site, Medium Density zoned, Land size 506sqm Coveted, leafy pocket, potential ocean views 300m leisurely walk to Beach access 650m walk to Sunshine Beach village, eateries and surf club. Walking trails through park to Noosa ●

RELAXING FOREST BACKDROP THE large open living, dining and kitchen zone accentuates the spectacular polished hardwood flooring and flows seamlessly to the under-roof hardwood rear deck. All these areas will enable the family to enjoy the relaxing elevated private outlook to the rear yard, paved courtyard, rich green forest backdrop of tall mature trees and also listen to the babbling brook. As chef you can choose to remain part of family activities while creating your favourite culinary delights then utilise the wide meal servery to the covered rear deck - ideal to entertain family and friends all year round. The kitchen is at the heart of this home and the U-shaped layout provides plenty of cupboard and bench space. The oversized main bedroom is at the rear of the home and also enjoys the peaceful view to the green forest backdrop: the large walk-in wardrobe and ensuite complete this serene picture. Two large guest bedrooms (both with builtin wardrobes) and family bathroom with bathtub and separate shower are located separately on the other side of the living space. Cooling fans throughout the home and the prevailing breezes make for

comfortable living throughout the year. As another practical bonus there is loads of under house storage space. This home is located in a popular quiet precinct and the 968m2 allotment is fully fenced: the house is sited to provide rear entry on both sides - secure parking for your boat, caravan, trailer. The large back yard has room for a pool: it continues to a lower level including a brick-paved courtyard – an ideal area to relax and

contemplate or for the kids to play. This desirable property is located close to all amenities - you will have your choice of nearby schools, various shops, bus transport, golf club, child care, parks, the Tewantin shopping village, medical facilities and will be a short drive to Noosa River and Marina attractions (restaurants, entertainment, markets) and the world famous riverside “golden mile” of restaurants, coffee outlets, boutique

shopping along the Gympie Terrace followed by Noosa Main Beach, Hastings Street and Noosa National Park.

Be sure to contact Roger soon as this home definitely offers a lot for the price. ●
