The local trio was chosen from a field of 29 candidates to fill three positions on the PCG overseeing the process by an assessment panel that included Council’s chief executive officer Scott Waters, corporate services director and director of environment and sustainable development.MayorClare Stewart said those selected had combined extensive experience in business, tourism and community involvement, and their input would be all-important.

“Tourism cannot be separated from the community. Success is measured by this com munity and what matters to the community,“ she“DMPsaid. must be driven by the community from the get-go.“

Locals lead vision

In council meetings this month, Cr Amelia Lorentson said what brought council to this point was the “tsunami of challenges“ created by Covid, leading to questions asked on what was most valued by the community.

Coastal rowing success

Cr Tom Wegener has reservations about the success of the project going forward though admitted he had been impressed by the level of talent from the PCG candidates.

“I hope this project exceeds my expecta tions,“ he said.

By Ian Jobling Amelia Cooper became the first gold medallist in the Under 21 Women’s Coastal Rowing at the inaugural Australian Coastal Rowing Championships, which were held at Noosa Beach West lastFellowweekend.UTS Haberfield Club rower, Sofia Aguirre, was second. Both are students at the University of Technology Sydney and neither had rowed in the ocean before. Eighteen-year old Amelia has rowed for many years at the St Catherine club in Sydney and is keen to continue her rowing while studying at a university in theSofia,USA. from Mexico City, is a former junior world champion sculler in flat water rowing but found her first venture into coastal-rowing was both an exhilarating and rewarding experience as she won silver medals in the Solo and Quad 4km events.

Cr Stewart congratulated Nathaniel, Wayne and Michael on their appointments, saying she looked forward to their help in developing a Destination Management Plan that would see Noosa remain a well-managed and sustainable destination, and all-round great place for residents, workers and visitors, well into the future.

Cr Karen Finzel said in moving forward to a sustainable future, central to the theme would be finding security for the community and delivering a balance between meeting the expectations of visitors to the region and enabling residents to enjoy the basics of dayto-day life.

“Appointing local residents with business and tourism industry experience to guide development of this important strategic plan will not only ensure it’s based on quality pro fessional advice, but that Noosa people and their relationship to the shire is a key consid eration every step of the way,” she said.

It’s the end of the football season and what has really stood out for me this year is just how well Noosa women are performing. The women’s teams at both Dolphins and Tigers clubs have made it to the finals and will be battling it out this weekend. So, go the women. Also on sport I can’t not mention the national coastal rowing competition that chose Noosa for its first ever venue. I’m told it was such a hit with competitors that the chance of Noosa being an Olympic venue for coastal rowing in 2032 has moved a step closer. Extreme sports are also worth a mention this week. The couple who entered the 24hr Hells Bells adventure race rate highly and on Tuesday Bonny Hancock dropped into Noosa on her 16,000km journey paddling around Australia. If you’re looking for food and entertainment this week you’re at the right place.Noosa’s first ever Italian Festival begins tonight, running for three days across Noosa Waterfront Restaurant, Noosa Woods and Lucio’s Marina with food the starring attraction along with a variety of Italian activities. Bellisimo. Just as the Italian Festival winds down on Sunday the Noosa Jazz Party kicks off and continues at venues across the shire until Saturday 3 September. - Margaret Maccoll

We wanted a dish that can really showcase the amazing quality of tuna available to us. “Bagna cauda is an anchovy butter sauce traditionally used as an accompaniment to vegetables but also makes an amazing pasta sauce. We make a creamier bagna cauda inspired sauce and use the tuna itself as the pasta of the dish. “The result, a beautiful tuna dish with the raw tuna being complemented by richness and saltiness of the bagna cauda while being lifted by the crushed macadamias and lime zest that we finish it with.”

Another para-rower, Sue Donoghoe from the Australian National University Boat club, has rowed on flatwater since 1979 but now has a fused ankle (PR3 classification). Sue won several medals at Noosa in both able-bodied and para events. “It was the unpredictability of the sport that keeps it interesting ... you can be well ahead in a race and then suddenly you’re the very last”. Sue and husband Peter, who is also her pairs’ partner, suggested future Coastal Rowing Championships “should be renamed carnivals because they are so much fun”. Rachel Mecham of Coastal Rowing Noosa (CRN) combined with Don to win bronze in the PR3 Double Scull Beach Sprint. Ann Harrap from CRN also won three bronze medals in the para with Don in the Endurance race over 4km and the Endurance Quad and Beach SprintRachelQuad.said significant race for CRN was the Mixed Masters Coxed Squad 4 km Endurance event on the first day. The combined age of the four rowers and cox - Craig and Rachael Mecham, Ann Harrap, Karl Ellaway, and Stefan Prystupa was 65 years.

Chief executive officer Mark Nothnagel and sales manager George Richards were delighted with the way the competitors, the solos and pairs handled the tricky conditions, which unfortunately proved too heavy for the quads.Although there were many experienced rowers on flatwater, including four Australian Olympians, George said: “For many competitors it was their first experience in the shells which are especially designed for rowing in the ocean and large “Furthermore,lakes.being in the ocean, there was a steep learning curve for some of the athletes in regard to surf awareness. Nevertheless, we are pleased that most of the boats and all of the athletes emerged unscathed from some spectacular capsizes on both the steeper waves on the way out and in the sprint race competition on Saturday and Sunday.”Coastal Rowing Noosa secretary Peter Watson said it was a great event and a great learning“Wecurve.have a lot to learn about coastal rowing,” Watson said. “It is not surf boat rowing, we don’t want to catch waves, but learn to harness the power of the surf and row between the breakers. A small shore break is a helpful end to gain an advantage.”

Coastal rowing in Noosa

“My grandma lives at Coolum so I would be able to row with the Coastal Rowing Noosa club on occasions,“ he said. Fellow UQ rower Harry Pettet won bronze. Both Harrys are coached by Michael Russell. Races for rowers with a physical disability were included in the championships.

Winners of the first Open Mixed Coastal Rowing 4 km double sculls event were father and daughter combination Tom and JarahWilcox from Lindisfarne Rowing Club in Tasmania. Jarah has been rowing on flat water with the Friends School in Hobart but this was the Wilcoxs’ first attempt at rowing in the ocean. Both said the challenge of the events with very uneven and tricky swells was exciting. Many rowers from the University of Queensland Club who were successful. First year student at UQ, Harry Nott was the winner of the Under 21 Men’s C-R 4 km Solo event.Harry praised the quality and handling of his Kanghua racing shell provided by Sykes Boatbuilders for the championships.

Both students are coached by Elliot Shackcloth Bertinetti (EB) who was thrilled with the courage and commitment of his young team of rowers over the four days of competition.

“The boat is higher and catches the wind more, and you have to be aware of the swells which vary in size and force … and you need to be efficient when on the breaking waves coming into shore by keeping rowing, even when you catch it – or it catches you,” Harry said. Harry said he was keen to continue with Coastal Rowing leading up to the possibility of competing at the 2028 Los Angeles and the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.

Emily McOrist from Rowing Australia said, “a new para-rowing boat class was being used as a test event for potential inclusion at future World Rowing coastal regattas.” Donald Cameron from the Townsville Riverway Club was an able-bodied rower with Scotch College in Adelaide but had an industrial accident resulting in the loss of a leg in 2002. He returned to flat water rowing for rehabilitation in 2007 and, with an “adaptor leg” of his own design, he won a gold medal as a para rower at the 2017 World Masters Games in New DonaldZealand.performed successfully in both able-bodied and para rowing events at these Coastal Rowing championships in Noosa.

Ann Harrap said: “One nice comment was from a young UQ rower – ’It is great to see old rowers and paras out in the waves, so inspirational.”’Boats for the events were supplied by Sykes Rowing.

From discussions with rowers and officials over the four days of competition, it is anticipated the next Australian Coastal Rowing and Beach Sprints Championships will again be held at Noosa in August 2023 due to the superior condition and logistics of Noosa Beach. Last week’s Noosa Today headline in relation to the recent Championships read, Olympic rowing beckons. With the statement by the World Rowing President that “the Beach Sprints format is at the heart of our Olympic strategy to have coastal rowing included as a new discipline on the Olympic program for LA2028 and Brisbane 2032, the success of the 2022 four-day inaugural Australian Championships was a great start to having Noosa as the venue for the Games of the XXXV Olympiad”.

Simon Walker, a world rowing umpire from New Zealand, came to Noosa because he was keen to observe the organisation as New Zealand is working towards holding a regatta in Nelson in January 2023. This event may double as the Oceania qualifier for the recently announced inclusion of Beach Sprints at the World Beach Games, which are to be organised by the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) at Nusa Dua Beach in Bali on 5-12 August, 2023. Sarah Cook, a member of the 2012 London Olympic Eight became a member of the World Rowing Council as tepresentative for the Oceania Region. She is also a member of Coastal Rowing Commission of World Rowing. Sarah said the championships in Noosa were exciting and a great success. She greatly appreciated the support of Rowing Queensland, Coastal Rowing Noosa, and the Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club for their assistance, especially over the four days of competition.“RowingAustralia and Surf Lifesaving Australia are working closely for the development of the discipline and are working towards a memorandum of understanding,“ she said. Several Australian Olympic rowers were present to officiate, observe and enjoy including Ria Thompson (Tokyo 2020), Sarah Cook (Beijing 2008 & London 2012), Rachael Kinninmonth (Sydney 2000), Jane Robinson (Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004) and James Rook (cox - Tokyo 2020).

“We were playing our annual grudge match against Maroochydore when an almighty brawl broke out in centre field. Without a moment’s hesitation he sprinted into the brawl, jumped up onto the back of a Maroochy player and, riding him like a jockey, yelling out for all to hear; Go you good thing go.”But perhaps one of the highest compliments paid to this loveable larrikin was when a team mate Kerin Kearney, a firefighter of many years’ experiences remarked: “This is a man who would be welcome in any team.” The role of the auxiliary member is of the utmost importance, for they are the support back up team, and can be called upon at anytime, to take their place in any crew in need of support. In his chosen profession there could be no higher compliment. On behalf of our community, we are proud to say that Harry Leigh is one of our people.

There comes a time for every contributing columnist when he gets the privilege to bring to the attention of the people of the community, a person who has quietly made, (in the minds of the general public) an outstanding contribution to what in his words is, “A great town full of great people and I love ‘em all.”

Another to speak highly of Harry was Kent Mayne Fire Brigade Inspector for the Gympie Noosa Area. “I have known Harry for many years and he was a real character and very dependable.”“Hespent some time in New Zealand in the late ‘80s, and on return in ‘91, immediately rejoined the team and was promoted to Lieutenant in ‘97. He was a highly educated man having, among other things, earned his BA.“ “This,’’ said Kent, with a laugh, “put him in a bit of a spot. At one time the boys reckoned that having Bachelor of Arts, he was just the man for the job of repainting the Noosa station. This he did with no hesitation and a lot of laughter.”Hiscareer on the Noosa AFL field was also a great contribution to the sporting community, for he had made a name for himself while as a youngster playing in Melbourne.

The author of these words and contributor to our community is Noosa Heads Auxiliary Firefighter Lieutenant Harry Leigh. On this occasion Friday 19 August at 6pm at the Noosa Heads Fire and Rescue Station, 30-plus of his fellow firefighters had gathered to acknowledge his retirement from 36 years of service that this dedicated and jovial gentleman had contributed to the welfare of our shire.But perhaps, for Harry, the highlight of the evening was the surprise arrival from Melbourne of son Jack and fiance Lauren. With firefighters from adjacent areas also in attendance, it highlighted the high regard in which this officer was held. As the evening progressed and Harry was greeted with handshakes and big hugs, followed by loud laughter, it became obvious that here was a man respected by his colleagues. As those in our emergency services, such as firies, police, paramedics and lifeguards can tell you, respect is something that men earn. It is not just Speakinggiven.on behalf of all in attendance, Noosa Fire Chief Rob Frey said: “Harry is a man well respected by all, not just in our line of work, but also in the sporting world of AFL, where as a player, he certainly made his mark. “He was also something of a fanatic when it came to gardening and landscaping. Our lawns and yard were always in top order. I am sure that he will continue working in landscaping now that his career as an auxiliary firefighter has come to an end. “As an auxiliary firefighter he was a good team man and someone we could always depend on, and also working for the community is something I feel he will never stop doing.”

Anton Mogg, manager of the Noosa Surf club also had the happy pleasure of playing with him in Noosa.

“She would write the names in order in biro up her arm and deliver it that way,“ Ian said. Desley Staatz was a Scouting group leader for 16 years, having joined the Sea Scouts in 1991 with her sons, who achieved high levels in the Scouting movement.

Cr Stockwell said the abilities of Sea Scouts often came to the fore during school camps when the skills they learnt through Scouting turned them into the gurus of camping and cooking in the eyes of school mates. History shows in previous years Sea Scouts were even more adventurous and during an annual Festival of Waters, held from 1967-85, were involved in a canoe race from Boreen Point to Noosaville. Cr Stockwell said he had hopes of reviving the festival that also included a street parade led by the Big Pelican, now a Gympie Terrace fixture.

Ian said among the items that stood out for him was a record of the first Cub leader, Vera Jones, who set up the group in 1953, when the small local population required residents have multiple roles.

Desley spoke of the sense of achievement experienced by Scouts who earned their progression up the ranks of the movement by meeting set challenges along the path. She believed one of Noosa Sea Scouts’ best achievements was in producing high level Scouts including about 20 Noosa Sea Scouts who had achieved the level of Queen Scout, a prestigious award presented to them at Government House by the Queensland Governor.

It was two days of adventure and activities for Noosa Sea Scouts as long term members praised the movement for its benefits in teaching youth practical life skills, leadership and team work when the Noosa branch of the organisation celebrated 70 years of Scouting at its Badger’s Wood headquarters last weekend. Scout leader Len Barty joined the movement in Noosa in 1986 when his youngest son, Dale, was a cub, and has been a fixture for half the life of the Noosa club. It was a return to Scouts for Len who, as a child living in Charters Towers, was a Cub in 1952 when the Noosa branch was just beginning.“I came along with Dale to give a hand. Someone grabbed me and threw a uniform on me. When Dale left, I just stayed,“ he said. It was a similar story for many Scout parents who became leaders and stayed on. Noosa councillor Brian Stockwell became involved with the Sea Scouts about 17 years ago when his daughter and son participated, and last Sunday espoused its virtues in teaching children basic skills, cooking on fires, setting up tents, working in a team, as well as proficiency in water craft use. Such are its benefits Scouting has long been associated with NASA astronauts. Of the four astronauts in the 1969 moon landing, three had attained the highest level of Scouting, Cr Stockwell said. “It’s an antidote to the media screen society,“ he said. Just one of their activities involve a team of Scouts budgeting, shopping at the local supermarket, carrying it back to base in their trek cart and cooking a meal for 50 to 100 kids during a camp over at Badger’s Wood.

In addition to being Cub leader Vera was a fish filleter, Avon lady and ran the mail delivery at a time before houses had street numbers.

The Sea Scout anniversary celebrations included an exhibition of 70 years of Scouting memorabilia compiled by Scout parent Ian Kaye and composed mainly of collections from Scout leaders Len Barty and Desley Staatz.

Cameras target speedsters in school and work zones

Motorcyclist trio charged

The footage depicts the man travelling in excess of 140km/h whilst overtaking vehicles.

Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho from Sunshine Coast Highway Patrol said the behaviour was disappointing considering the high number of motorcyclists who have lost their lives on Queensland roads this year.

New speed camera technology will target speeding drivers in school zones and roadworks across Queensland from September in a world-first road safety initiative. At the launch of Road Safety Week (22 to 26 August), Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the cameras would pop up in high-risk locations. Mr Bailey said the initiative reflects the theme of this year’s Queensland Road Safety Week, Road safety starts with me, highlighting every road user has a role to play in keeping themselves and others safe while on or near our roads. “Every day, across the road network, yellow is used for safety reminders such as our warning signs, high-visibility workwear and even our learner driver plates,” he said. “We’re asking Queenslanders to ‘wear and share yellow’ to show their support for road safety by wearing an item of yellow clothing, hosting a yellow event, or sharing a safety message on social Superintendentmedia.”Janelle Andrews said speeding was one of the leading causes of fatalities and serious injuries on Queensland’s roads.“During 2021 there were 74 fatalities as the result of crashes involving speeding motorists, representing almost 27 per cent of Queensland road fatalities. “Thousands more road users are seriously injured in crashes. “No one wants to carry the guilt of the death or injury of a child walking to or from school, or a roadworker simply carrying out theirTMRjob.”Director-General Neil Scales said the cameras were different for roadworks sites and school “Researchzones.has demonstrated a clear link between camera enforcement and reductions in speed-related fatalities and serious injuries,” Mr Scales said. “We asked the contractor to design and build the solar-powered roadworks speed cameras to sit on top of a mobile platform to allow for manoeuvrability around a work site. “At school zones, the cameras will be installed in specially designed, stationary school zone signs but can be moved around as needed.”TrafficManagement Association of Australia (TMAA) CEO LouiseVan Ristell said the pilot would provide significant data regarding the number of drivers who continue to disregard speed reductions around worksites. Mr Bailey also reminded drivers about increased penalties which came into effect on 1 “NowJuly.if you speed 1-10km/h over the limit you will be fined $287 and one demerit point, and between 11-20km/h the fine is $431 and three demerit points,” he said. For more information about road safety around schools visit tmr.qld.gov.au Keep to the speed limit to help prevent accidents.

“The Sunshine Coast Hinterland is a popular place for riders, but what many fail to understand is that the winding roads can be extremely dangerous, especially travelling at high speed,” Senior Sergeant Panoho said. “Riding at excessive speed and crossing double lines when you can’t clearly see oncoming traffic is reckless and puts other road users’ lives at risk as well, he said.

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority and has developed a methodology for destination planning, which he has taught to others.Ithas now been applied to more than 40 destination plans across Victoria and Tasmania.Michael Tarrant is a former Tourism Noosa Board director who served on the Noosa Sustainable Tourism Stakeholder Reference Group.MrTarrant is the author of various books and journal articles on tourism and sustainability. He is a university professor, having taught many courses including ecotourism, park management and urban sustainability, across all seven continents.

Mr Northam said rangers don’t need to be present to issue fines to people who deliberately feed or interfere with wongari on K’gari.

“Residents, visitors and tour group operators regularly provide information, photos and videos to rangers and the Queensland Police Service when people offend against wongari,” he “Peoplesaid. who break the rules and deliberately feed or interfere with wongari, or doesn’t secure their food and rubbish can expect a fine or to appear in court.

Environment and sustainable development director Kim Rawlings said so many high-calibre applicants had applied for the three positions that Council had decided to bring forward the creation of a community reference panel to capture their knowledge.

“We take a zero-tolerance approach to the deliberate feeding of wongari because people who feed or interfere with wongari put themselves and other people in danger.”

“In these three locals we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise, we are thrilled with their appointments. Their input will be invaluable,” Mayor Stewart said.

“The rules are there for a reason, to keep people and wongari safe. Feeding dingoes can result in the animals becoming habituated, and they can lose their natural wariness of people.“The animals can begin to expect food from humans which leads to habituation and heightens the risk of aggression and personal injury or the destruction of the animals by teaching them poor behaviours.

“The wongari are not starving and they have access to plenty of natural food.”

Team to advise on tourism future named

James said he continually reviews and changes the menu and the restaurant had changed and evolved over time. He was thankful to restaurant director Chris Burton for his unwavering support.

Cr Wegener agrees there are substantial obstacles including the costs of Noosa land along with machinery, about, fertilisers and advice. On top of this, the land in many cases has been degraded, and climate change poses greater uncertainty.Butnowthe community mindset has started to change. Farming practices are becoming more focused on micro, intensive farming where crops and animals work in harmony to produce abundance, and regenerate the land. Noosa residents are seeking out locally grown food knowing it is organic, healthy and supports the local community. And Noosa’s Agrihub network is working hard to support its success.

Chef realises his dream

With the help of Noosa Agri-hub networks and family, a paddock-to-plate dream of Embassy XO executive chef JamesWu to harvest his own home-grown produce to supply ingredients for his restaurant is being realised.

Last week Tom visited James and his wife Phoebe at their Cootharaba property to deliver a load of double grind mulch from the Noosa Tip for their gardens. “Noosa Council wants to get green waste back onto the land. It is about food security, climate change response, healthier food, low food miles, stopping erosion, and growing the foodie economy,“ Tom said.

“We just wanted to grow enough for the res taurant. It’s always been about the food. Having access to pick your own produce is very differ ent to going to the supermarket,“ James said. “We grow stuff you just can’t buy - you can’t find at the supermarket. A lot of Asian greens you find at the supermarket are extra long but I like them young and much smaller for salads and stir frys. They’re crisper and crunchier when they’re younger.“

James grew up on a farm in Windsor in the Hawkesbury region and after becoming a Sydney chef was accustomed to visiting his family farm to collect fresh produce for his restaurant. So when he and Phoebe moved to the Sunshine Coast about six years ago he missed the fresh, available produce.

About four years ago the couple purchased a 10-acre property at Cootharaba with a stunning view over the valley and Lake Cootharaba to Noosa North Shore and Coolum in the distance.Itwas overgrown and on a steep slope but with the help of Phoebe’s brother, Jabin Round, an environmental scientist with more than 10 years experience in landscape construction, and his wife Annabelle, an all round farm hand, terraces of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers are flourishing.

It’s a lot of hard work, the workload has not been rewarded with equivalent financial gain and it’s taken trial and error to discover what crops work well and are resilient to disease, James said. A lot of people don’t have the finance to do it and not many young people are going into it, he said. For James and his family the project is sustainable and affordable and the knowledge they have gained in the process they would like to share.

“He’s always believed in my dream - going from paddock to plate,“ James said. The farm now supplies the restaurant with about 70 per cent of its produce. James no longer relies on herbs grown in Melbourne but he does support many other local suppliers, buying locally as much as possible, and believes small farms are the key to sustainability. But there are obstacles to success.

James said the first year of growing had been tough going, working with just a shovel and wheelbarrow, and their progress impeded by frequent rain. But they now have 300 species of edible plants and are producing a little excess that is going back to the community through the Noosa Farmers Market. James said they decided early to practice organic farming and are experimenting with different crops to see what works and what doesn’t.Theproduce they’ve been able to grow has had a positive impact on what they serve at Embassy XO.

This wasn’t always the case. In fact, this month we celebrate what is almost certainly Noosa’s least-known centenary. It’s 100 years since we became the top banana in Queensland’s banana industry, providing more than 25 per cent of the crop for the first time. How did we do this?

Well, with a lot of help from something called banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) which had decimated Australia’s biggest growing region, theTweedValley in NSW, plus some other luck factors we’ll get to in a moment, but the fact remains that in the post-war years from 1918 to 1922, Noosa Shire (with a little bit of help from parts of Gympie and Widgee) grew its share of a growing Queensland production level from 12.9 per cent to 25.6 per cent. Over the same period Noosa banana production increased by an amazing 340 per cent, from 163,000 bunches to 554,000. The banana boom ended almost as quickly as it had begun, but it provided an economic stimulus just when the shire needed it, and the remnants of those glory days could be seen right in the heart of Noosa not so long ago, with the Freeman family plantation, Noosa Vale (cleared for bananas in 1929), above Halse Lodge on Noosa Hill, and Hack’s banana farm (cleared 1943) just around the ridge where Viridian Noosa is today. The population of Noosa Shire almost doubled between 1921 and 1927 (from 2387 to 4413), and grew another 30 per cent between 1927 and 1933. Much of this growth was due to Queensland Government rural settlement incentives and a major federal program of soldier resettlement following World War I. While many of the new settlers took up dairy farming, an increasing number combined their small herds with crops, particularly bananas.Bananas were first grown in the Noosa region in 1908 at Goomboorian near Gympie, and from about 1913, at Maroonda Experimental Farm at Amamoor in the Mary Valley. In 1916, the Gympie and District Fruitgrowers Association was formed, and in 1921 a fast fruit train service was extended to Gympie. Growers were able to prosper quickly, using as little as five acres of fertile soil, so start-ups required very little capital and the crop quickly became a lucrative sideline.

A bonus from this was that the struggling timber industry suddenly had a new product line. Banana case mills sprang up all over the shire, often very basic affairs erected on leasehold farms where there was a suitable stand of softwood timber, but the big mills also tooled up for case production.

And when Tweed bananas went pearshaped, Noosa really stepped up to the plate. Kin Kin, already a first prize winner at Gympie and Brisbane shows in 1917, led the way.At the time of the honour, the Noosa Advocate reported that, while Kin Kin had been previously acknowledged as a first-rate dairying district, it was “now known to have thousands of acres of the best banana land in Australia”. Cooroy soon followed the Kin Kin lead, and by the early 1920s, the north-western part of the shire was dotted with plantations, packing sheds and the settlements of the various migrant groups who came to work the crops, among them Chinese, Indian and Sri Lankan (the biggest of the groups). Old Ceylon Road in West Cooroy is named for the 500 or more Sinhalese Buddhists who lived and worked on its plantations during the post-warDuringyears.1926, nearly 15,000 cases of bananas were freighted from Pomona Railway Station alone, an increase of 50 per cent over the previous year. The Queensland banana industry, half of it within Noosa Shire, was estimated that year to be worth more than £1 million to the state economy.Butthe boom proved to be short-lived. By 1932 the 25.6 per cent share was down to 22.3 per cent. It continued to decline and all but disappeared in the mid-1930s. The main reason for the decline was the re turn of the Tweed Valley as Australia’s banana basin, but by the time the Noosa agriculture sector realised it had a problem, an even bigger one was upon them — the Great Depression.

Today the tropical banana-growing regions of northern Queensland, mainly around Tully and Innisfail, produce more than 90 per cent of Australia’s bananas. Other tropical production areas in the Northern Territory and in northern Western Australia, at Kununurra, account for most of the rest, although subtropical bananas are still grown from just south of Coffs Harbour, NSW to Bundaberg.

Detecting a silver fake

Silver expert Jolyon Warwick James.

“It’s difficult to recognise if you don’t know the hallmarks,“ he said, but smudges, poorly made replicas and unusual backgrounds were some giveaways. To further complicate the situation, not everything that appears odd is a fake, he said. Jolyon said items that have been altered can be taken to an assay office and re-hallmarked in a process called “regularised“ making it a legalAnditem.different laws apply in different countries. In England it is illegal to sell a fake but in Australia you can sell a fake as long as you disclose to the buyer that the hallmarks are fake.

teration made the item illegal. In some cases hallmarks are removed from one item and transposed onto another. How do you detect the forgery?

Why do people make fakes, he asked. Well, most obviously for financial gain, but not always, he told the audience. Some people make fakes to feed their ego trying to fool experts, others may do it without malice or by accident.Hallmarking has long played an important part in faking, Jolyon said. Begun in the UK in the 14th century it was initially used as a form of quality control by master goldsmiths who would take their work to the Goldsmith’s Hall, where the metal was tested or assayed for purity. Hallmarking continues to provide authenti cation of silver, with the marks applied and veri

THE LIVING ROOM 10, Friday, 7.30pm It was only a matter of time before the savvy crew on TheLivingRoom turned their focus to the ubiquitous work-from-home space. If yours is an unattractive, cluttered afterthought, Barry Du Bois and Amanda Keller’s revamp of a young couple’s small space will inspire with its sparkle and functionality. On the other side of the ditch, Miguel Maestre and Dr Chris Brown (both pictured) have a nature-filled, tummy rumbling segment in the stunning Hawke’s Bay mountains of New Zealand’s North Island.

MY KITCHEN RULES Seven, Sunday, 7pm It’s funny how tastes can change. A little more than two years ago, this show disappeared after a lacklustre season that failed to whet viewers’ appetites. Now, with a new set of guests including Brit cooking queen Nigella Lawson, former MasterChefstar Matt Preston (pictured, right, with judge Manu Feildel) and the charismatic Curtis Stone, this season is turning out to be people’s cup of tea. Tonight, the first last-chance challenge has four teams cooking a main and dessert to score a spot in the semi-final.

OLD PEOPLE’S HOME FOR TEENAGERS ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK The Guide QLD

Following on from the success of the sweet OldPeople’sHomeFor4Year Olds, this series sees teens spending afternoons at the Intergenerational Community Centre with seniors to see if being together can improve both groups’ mental health and mindset. It’s equal parts stirring and awkward as the groups meet for the first time. Fifteen-year-old video gamer Miles has an instant connection with Jim (both pictured), who talks about building the first supercomputer.

Zero Emissions Noosa congratulates Noosa Council for taking up the challenge to help businesses and households to reduce their energy

Ms Kennedy said ZEN Inc. welcomed the Noosa Council initiative to advocate for the benefits of EUAs at the LGAQ conference.

“It requires an amendment to the Local Government Act and the City of Brisbane Act by the Queensland Government. “There is no cost burden to the State Government or local councils, who must choose to opt in to the scheme. We strongly believe this must happen as a matter of urgency.”

“Thiscosts.motion Noosa Council is putting to the LGA Conference in October is calling on the State Government to change legislation to enable Local Governments to offer Environmental Upgrade Agreements (EUAs) throughout Queensland,” Zero Emissions Noosa chair Anne Kennedy said. “The financial benefits for Noosa businesses and households from EUAs would make it possible for them to access no deposit, low interest and long repayment term loans to implement cost-saving energy efficiency technology including rooftop solar, heat pumps and HVAC systems.”

“This straightforward, no cost initiative by the State Government will enable Noosa Council to opt into the scheme to really help businesses and households to reduce their operating costs.

Plants will be on sale and expert advice can be gained from champion growers like Julie and Gavin Menkens whose lives have been intertwined with their involvement in plants.Julie and Gavin met in 2013 and discov ered they both had a love of gardening. Julie moved to the Sunshine Coast in early 2014 bringing many plants with her. Late in 2014 Gavin had a burst brain an eurysm which put him in hospital for many months.Once he was able, he joined the Noosa Men’s Shed and transformed their gardensso much so Julie and Gavin chose in 2017 to marry at the Men’s Shed surrounded by the beautiful gardens. They purchased a house in Tewantin which was a corner block surrounded by overgrown gardens.

Richard PeregianDeane,Springs

30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 26 August, 2022

Steve Hall (NT 19/8), you have my sincere sympathy for your confusion and appreciate the long overdue confession for your problem. Your copious letters clearly confirm your failure to solve the conundrums you try to juggle. Trying to make sense of the plethora of opinions from so called experts and ideologues is impossible at the best of times. However, I urge you to challenge yourself one more time with some basic reasoning about atmospheric CO2. There are many different sources of atmospheric CO2; volcanoes; undersea hot spots; the oceans; coral polyps; soil microbes; termites; forest fires etc. Anthropogenic CO2 from the use of fossil fuels is only four per cent of the total. Chris Bowen is setting out to ultimately reduce anthropogenic CO2 by 50 per cent by 2030 but what about the many times greater GHG effect of the remaining 98 per cent of non-anthropogenic CO2? Would this not indicate a costly and cataclysmically destructive exercise in futility? All this does not even start to consider how many many more times greater might the Green House Gas(GHG) effect be of atmospheric water vapour dwarfing that of the sum of all the CO2 effect in the atmosphere. Do opinions answer the following?

Dear Steve Hall,We meet again on contentious issues. This time regarding your opinion on experts. Your expert examination of experts is somewhat confusing. There are experts and experts. Many have studied for years, but some of their expert knowledge may be changed in exchange for remuneration. Others not. You say it is hogwash to question so-called experts. Why would Mr Wells or indeed any scientist be offended or condescending if questioned about their expertise? They could tell what they know, or say research is continuing, or simply say they don’t yet know. That is called honesty. Or they could lie. You say that science is reliable in making predictions. Yes, it may well be, but not always to the benefit of humans and wildlife. I lived in WA in the ’70s and ‘80s and knew several people slowly dying of asbestosis. It was known by the Wittenoom mining company making the millions from asbestos, that asbestos dust could cause lung disease. Their scientists presumably told them. Thousands died that lingering death. But asbestos was much to valuable to worry about their workers! DDT had its value during the war for killing the ever present lice in the soldiers’ uniforms. After the war it was widely used to aerial crop spray. It was proclaimed safe. Gradually experts began to realise the deadly effects it was having on humans and animals. The chemical was stored in the fatty tissue and any predator eating its prey not only absorbed the chemical but the effect of it in turn when eaten was increased.Experts knew this. And Steve, you may remember Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring which came out in 1962. But it took until 1987 for DDT in Australia to be banned. Oh, don’t get me started on climate change! Which has been happening since climate began. Just find out a few facts about our moody sun. About the Arctic ice core research. Maybe read page 30 of 1 July Noosa Today which tells of the unpredictability of El Niño and La Niña. Maybe take a year or two studying the complexities of climate.

Folly of trusting opinions

What a wonderful country, Australia, jampacked full of intelligent, well educated, resourceful individuals brimming over with common sense. Gratefully they apply their talent in thinking and questioning what they or another have done in the past, challenging, making the world a better place. Much thinking outside the square has eventuated in a new way, a new science, a new and fresh idea an invention or just a better way and has come from someone who is not an expert in the field related to that way, science, idea or invention . I have lived a professional life where everything that I have written and spoken has been the subject of extreme and intense scrutiny and challenge by others. I have learned so much from that scrutiny. I came to understand the other person’s point of view and most importantly I grew in experience, education and knowledge and on many occasions I changed my point of view and position on the subject at hand. The wonder and positive influence of uninhibited, open and frank questioning of me.Scientific opinion is ever changing. Take just one very critical scientific tool, computer capacity. It increases day by day allowing scientists, thinkers and questioners to revisit what was thought to be unquestionable with better tools giving more enlightened results. You don’t need to be a scientist to use your intelligence, education and common sense to think and question. It is everyone’s right of passage in this enlightened world. I worry when I am told so vitriolically to trust and believe, have faith, rather than to think, question and apply intelligence, education and common sense.

The remaining 26 nominees have been invited to join a Community Panel (advisory group) to be involved in the DMP process. Nominees include representatives from business associations, community organisations and residents from the across the Shire. Together, community, industry and Council will have the opportunity to rethink how we plan for the visitor economy. And how we achieve both resident aspirations and visitor desires for a unique visitor experience. This is a plan for better tourism that ensures that Noosa continues to be a great place for our residents and visitors.

Countries who are under the banner of a republic often have riots with disastrous results and their armies have to move in and take control.Our concern with China if we arrived in that situation would save them from having to invade until we have almost wiped ourselves out.

Tourism that delivers social, cultural, and environmental benefits to the community as well as economic benefits. Tourism that is inclusive and that protects the Noosa brand.

Striving for better for all Noosa is well known as being a great place to live and visit. The process of developing a Destination Management Plan (DMP) is to ensure that Noosa continues to be a great place for our residents and visitors. Council has committed to undertake a DMP, an ambitious project that will bring together our tourism industry, our community and Council with the aim of creating a strategic vision and joint plan that will support a well-managed and sustainable destination. We cannot stop people visiting Noosa, and we do not want to. Capping or limiting the number of visitors, is also not the answer (IMO).Wesimply need to better manage the way we do business that does not impact on our lifestyle.Thebest managed destinations are good for the community. And the best managed destinations are good for business. And that is our challenge. And our job. We need to work out how we can achieve both resident aspirations to maintain residential amenity and lifestyle, and visitor desires for a unique Noosa experience.

Surfers for Climate is running these oceansthemed trivia events in partnership with beverage partners around Australia, with events also happening in Byron Bay, Forster, Pacific Palms, Torquay, Brisbane, Merewether, Freshwater, Avalon, Bondi and the Gold Coast. “I’m privileged to travel around the country and meet so many surfers who want to chat with me about the climate changes they’re already seeing in their patch of ocean,” Josh said. “Surfers know the ocean better than most people, but our ability to read and rely on the ocean will be altered or lost as weather patterns grow increasingly extreme and unpredictable.

“We hope this community trivia series will be a catalyst for bringing together a local tribe of surfers, sun-cooked larrikins and other allies to have a good time and start conversations about how to amplify existing local climate actions or start new ones.

Answer: Well, this is trickier than it looks. Some might have said Bob McTavish in 1961, but ironman and surfboard legend Hayden Kenny was at least four years ahead of him. But the truest answer is probably Kevin Freeman, of the pioneering Noosa family, who cut down a surf ski of his mother’s and rode it at First Point in 1948. This is just some stuff to store in your frontal lobe if you missed out on the inaugural Salty Brains Surf Trivia Night at Land & Sea Brewing Co last Tuesday, because Salty Brains will be back for three more fun-packed sessions over the next few months, using surf trivia to create awareness of the work of Surfers For Climate.

Surfers for Climate chief executive officer Josh Kirkman told Noosa Today: “With its world-famous surf breaks, Noosa is the quintessential surfing town, so I’m thrilled we’re bringing the Salty Brains Surf Trivia tour to town for locals and visitors alike.

“Weaving between virtuosic passages for the soloist and beautiful harmonies in the orchestra, it’s an absolute masterclass in orchestration,” Isobel said. “Zygmunt Stojowski famously said that it: ‘begins with Bach and ends with Offen bach’.”At15, Isobel was accepted into the prestigious Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and is about to finish her Undergraduate Piano Performance Degree. She’s currently working on her final recital for the end of the year including a program of music by Messiaen, Schumann, Rameau and Balakirev, which will be able to be viewed online.Isobel has been awarded multiple music prizes and scholarships including the Hon. James Thomas Walker Prize, the inaugural Doug and Margot Anthony (BUDD) Music Grant, the Gilliam Prize, and the USYD Vice Chancellor’s Global Mobility Scholarship. Competition successes include the Queensland Young Pianist’s Award, which she won in 2019, and gold prize in the Bangkok International Piano Competition 2021. Isobel has performed as a collaborative and orchestral pianist with the Dots+Loops festival, Queensland Youth Orchestra and George Ellis Orchestra in Sydney, and has been awarded her AmusA on both piano and clarinet. The orchestra, conducted by maestro Antoni Bonetti along with Sharelle Guest, is very excited to perform with such a young and talented musician, who has family ties on the “TheCoast.Sunshine Coast is where I live when not studying in Sydney, so it’s nice to be coming home, both musically for my concerto debut, and literally to be with my family.” Tickets are selling fast. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch Isobel in concert before she heads overseas to pursue a Master’s in Music.

Sydney-based, Central Coast-born artist Sam Windley creates candid urban folk music in the vein of Stella Donnelly, Cat Power, and Suzanne Vega. Compelled by recently lost love and the introspective depression that results from life on the slimy Sydney conveyor belt, Windley has spent the last two years writing extensively.Amongthe deluge of words and emotions, seven songs were born, and with the help of producer/translator Chris Collins, these took shape as an eccentric and vulnerable EP. These seven songs tell the story ofWindley’s 30-year-old future self sitting beneath a window in an unaffordable inner-city apartment holding a near-empty drink at an obscenely late hour, reminiscing on earlier days. Windley has recently signed to I OH YOU Publishing and has recently supported Budjerah, Missy Higgins, Babe Rainbow, Didirri, Shannen James and The Grogans.

BIGSOUND afterparty here BIGSOUND may in Brisbane but the after party is in ComeEumundi.alongto The Bunker on Friday 9 September to catch three great acts Eastbound Buzz , Sam Windley and the Coast’s own Dorah Jacsonhot off the heels of their BIGSOUND for their “reliably rousing working-class indie rock” and their electric, commanding live performances, Eastbound Buzz are a Melbourne-via-Wagga five-piece that have developed a reputation as a band to watch.Since 2020, the Americana-tinged rockers have been selected for inclusion in the BIGSOUND line-up, filled increasingly large venues in their adopted hometown of Melbourne, and supported the likes of Ash Grunwald and Shannen James up and down the East Coast. After generating excitement with the release of their debut EP Opportunity Shop, Eastbound Buzz have built momentum with a series of singles that have kept audiences coming back for more, culminating in their 2021 single, the powerful anthem Drag. Coming into 2022, the band has been hard at work on new music, bringing Eastbound Buzz into new sonic territory while maintaining their timeless, evocative songwriting style.

Dreamy indie artist Dorah Jacson delivers song-bird like vocals, accompanied by her unique guitar playing and the powerful sound of her band - forming her own stylings of indie, pop, and alt-rock. A singer-songwriter at heart, she melds her two loves of raw, personal lyrics with the full formed sound of her band, creating a unique blend of music to dance around to while feeling connected to her heartfelt writings. Dorah started off by playing solo around the area, gaining a loyal following through her captivating performances before her first single had even been released. Things then quickly picked up after she released her debut single ‘Away’ in early 2019, which received rave reviews on Triple J Unearthed. It was added to rotation, and she soon after won the Triple J Big Pineapple Music Festival comp, where she opened the festival. She then headed down to Byron Bay with her band and recorded what would be her debut EP at Rockinghorse Studios.

Masterpieces by Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert have been selected by popular Sunshine Coast chamber music group, Pacific Chamber Players, for the third series of concerts of their 2022 season at Palmwoods and Cooroy later this month. They will present Mozart’s dark String Quintet No 4 in G minor, K 516, Beethoven’s masterful and stormy String Quintet in C, Op 29, and Schubert’s magical Nocturne for Piano Trio in Eb, Op 148. Former ABC producer Nancy Tow will present an informative talk at 2pm before the concerts start at 2.30pm. Palmwoods Memorial Hall, August 27 and Cooroy Memorial Hall, August 28, Tickets, adults $30, concessions $28, school students $10. Available online at pacificchamberplayPacific Chamber Players

Mike and Jennifer made the mountain hike, saying it was a difficult climb but the view was worth it.

On average, it was a 90-minute walk through a rainforest followed by a steep ascent to reach the top of Mt Cooroy then return to the base, and on Sunday most of the 2000 or so attendees at the Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival opted to make the journey. Beautiful weather and two previous years of closure due to Covid enticed a larger than normal crowd to the one-day-of-the-year public open day to the mountain that combines with a fundraiser organised by Noosa Rotary. Walkers and those who remained at the base of the mountain were rewarded with an array of foods including billy tea and damper, entertainment, the option of a helicopter ride and information from local services.

The lure of the mountain

Noosa Rotary president Carol Johnston said money raised on the day would go toward worthy causes with Sunshine Butterflies the major beneficiary and Rotary-run youth programs likely to benefit. Visitors head to the Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival.

Plenty of Festival activities at the base of the mountain. Walkers make their way back from the mountain top. Trekking through the rainforest toward the mountain. Volunteer David cooked more than 100 dampers and 250 litres of billy tea.

The Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club is now ready to roll into the patrol season with the helping hand of a local business. Cricks Noosa is proud to support the vital services provided by the lifesavers through the donation of a brand-new Mitsubishi Triton. The timing of this partnership aligns perfectly to support the upcoming patrol season kicking off on 18 September.

Anyone interested in finding out more about lifesaving and supporting the club can contact them on hello@peregiansurfclub. com.au

As anglers this is the type of weather we all get excited about, and for it to fall on the week end is an added bonus. With light winds and clean swell there was no reason to not get out there unless you owned a small boat or are in experienced at crossing the bar. The swell on the bar ramped up on Friday and stayed with us for the weekend, but with patience and power it was navigable. This is also the first weekend where the snapper and pearl perch are now back on the menu follow ing their annual break.

Trekka 2 also fished North reef and the punters were happy to be able to keep some quality snapper after the end of the closure.

It’s on with a clean swell

North reef, Chardons and Sunshine were all on the travel list due to variable winds. With the tides bang smack in the middle of the neap phase the turn in the tide was the bite time. It came as no surprise to see some solid fish getting caught on bait and lures. Bait anglers loaded up with squid and pilchards and with pilchard floaters drifting downward it was a case of wait for the reel to start screaming! This method of fishing is so productive for the big mid-water fish with cobia, mackerel, tuna and of course snapper most likely to pick up your bait. Most anglers are thinking mackerel have gone north but reports of school mackerel are plentiful so be sure you take some super flex single strand wire with you. For best results aim to keep your leaders to no more than 30lb. Shogun ice clear is the perfect colour while the waters out wide are clear. Combine this with a Shimano bait runner reel and I guarantee you’ll be soon addicted to the sound when it goes off. Lure anglers will find best results with slow fall jigs that have some flutter and flash. The storm Koika is a consistent performer around the 60-80 gram sizes in the 40m range. They often get picked up by snapper, cobia, jew fish, tuskies and pearl perch. If jigging is not your thing then super light weighted curl tail plastics allowed to drift in the current much like a pilchard floater will get smashed. Check out the Chasebaits love bug, these are a hy brid plastic with a lot of movement. Surf fishing has seen an improvement for tailor anglers. Fishing after dark with gang hooked pilchards has seen some quality fish around the 60cm mark landed. Fishing around dark on an incoming tide has been working well and next weeks tides look per fect for this. Try around middle groyne and the mouth. Don’t forget to pick up some bait thread. Wind some of this around your bait and see just how hard you can cast without losing your baits. River fishing is starting to show signs of a good flathead season ahead. There have been lots of smaller fish getting caught in the lower estuary on livies and lures. With the shift in the main channel the fish will be moving with it and schooling over the newly created sand banks. Here you can drift whitebait or run a smaller paddle tail soft plastic and slow roll it along the bottom. Take a look at slim swimz and Keitech easy shiners for two great pro files.Upriver small jewfish are showing up and taking the previously mentioned soft plas tics. These fish are great fun on 10lb gear and although undersized they still put up a good fight but must be returned quickly. You can also find good flathead around the lake and the run across to the between the lakes stretch. While the weather is starting to warm up you will also notice a few mangrove jack starting to show up which is always welcomed as these are the top predatory fish in the river. 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 Tack le World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching. Be sure to follow us on Face book and remember Tight Lines and Bent Spines!, Mitchell Perrett picked up this nice Jewfish from the deeper part of North reef drifting a fresh squid bait.

After being three-over-par for the first nine holes of his final round in Toowoomba, George (71, 69) charged home with four birdies on the back nine to draw level with Gin Gin golfer Scott Warren (72, 68). The two golfers returned to the course for a sudden death playoff. As George put it, ‘he parred the hole – I didn’t.”

A full field of sponsors, supporters and talented junior golfers took part in the event, which Invincibles president Graeme Miller said was one of the most successful they’d held. It sold out within a fortnight. So close for George in Country Week title Noosa club champion George Giblett couldn’t have come closer to winning this month’s Queensland Country Week championship.

Ryan quickly back to best form Ryan Mulder brushed off Noosa’s disappointing A grade pennant semi-final loss to Maroochy River with a stunning performance to win last week’s Tuesday Club stableford competition.Playing off a handicap of plus one, Ryan was five-under-par in his round and scored 40 points to take the A grade prize in the popular Tuesday event. It was a quick return to form for Ryan, who had gone down narrowly to Maroochy River youngster Alex Procopis in a semi-final that Noosa had been widely tipped to win in pursuit of their fourth straight A grade title. Ryan, 32, has long been one of Noosa’s best players. He’s been playing there since he was a kid of six, and his first job was as an apprentice greenkeeper at the club. He won last year’s Noosa Open, one of the club’s most significant annual events. Victory came 18 years after Ryan’s first Noosa Open win in 2003 at the age of 13. Ryan’s been a junior and club champion at Noosa, and his golf these days is generally limited to Saturdays and Tuesdays – and then only if he can arrange his working week to accommodate a half day off. It’s goodbye from me This will be my final Pin High column for Noosa Today. Thank you to all the golfers who have given me their time over the past couple of years, and to those who have been kind enough to read my column. It’s time for me to spend more time on the golf course.

It’s becoming almost a habit. Noosa Springs, after leading the standings for most of the season, beat Maroochy River on Sunday to take their second straight Division 1 junior pennant title. Last year the team was represented by Sunday Moore, her sister Coco and their friend Jasmine Lena. This year, with the team number increased to four, the girls were bolstered by Alex Bray, who spends the week in Brisbane and drives up on weekends with his parents for pennant matches. The result, however, was the same – a narrow win to the Noosa Springs team against a powerful Maroochy River squad. And, to highlight the strength of junior golf in the region, Noosa took out the Division 2 title, beating the team from Mt Coolum, which had been unbeaten throughout the season. As she did last year, Sunday Moore took down Maroochy River’s No 1 player Ionna Muir 2&1. Alex won his match 3&2 and Jasmine won hers, 1up. Coco took her match to the very last hole before losing to Lizzy Harman 1up, giving Noosa Springs a 3-1 win. It was an outstanding performance by a team that held its form throughout a long season that began in May. And it was fitting that the Moore sisters, Sunday and Coco, were jointly named Division 1 Players of the Season. In Division 2, Amy Coates (6&4), Nathan Roberts (6&4) and Declan Hudson (1up) were good winners for Noosa against the highly fancied Mt Coolum team. Division 2 Player of the Season was Noosa Springs’ James McCulloch. In other pennants finals, Maroochy River beat Mt Coolum 6½-½ in A grade, Gympie was too strong for Cooroy in B grade, winning 5½1½, while Caloundra pipped Maroochy River 4-3 in Masters. Cooroy captain takes women’s title Cooroy ladies’ captain Wendy O’Hare, trailing by five strokes at the half-way mark, finished with strong performances on Tuesday and Thursday last week to claim this year’s club championship.Wendy(93,88, 90, 88) left early leader Kim Gladman (89, 89, 98, 94) in her wake to take the title by 11 strokes. Kate Sawrey (95, 94, 89, 93) was a stroke further back in third place. The championships were played over 72 holes – 18-hole rounds on Tuesday and Thursday over the past fortnight. Wendy and Kim tied for A grade net honours, while Carmel Clark (93, 95, 94, 98) was the B grade champion.The men are half-way through their club championship with former pro Cyril Trist (74, 80) holding a two-stroke lead from former club champion Lee Grainger. Young gun Kaleb Hamilton is two strokes back in third place after a stunning round of 72 on Saturday. How Mikayla almost won a BMW From the tee, the shot looked perfect. Mikayla Dyal’s swing was rhythmic and her ball headed, with laser-like accuracy, directly towards the hole at the back of the fourth green at Noosa Springs last week. Had it continued its journey for just another few centimetres, the resultant hole-in-one would have earned Mikayla a $61,000 BMW 2 Series coupe which, just to tantalise her and every other player, was on display beside the tee.Though it hardly ranked as a highlight for Mikayla, an outstanding young member of the Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Golf Tour, her near-miss was one of the talking points of another successful Corporate Day for the 20-year-old organisation.

If you are one of the many golfers who get a cold sweat when standing over a chip shot, this could be for you. The key to consistent, stress-free chipping is the way your club interacts with the ground. Ideally you need a gentle shallow brushing. To achieve this, you must engage the trail edge or bounce of the club and avoid the sharp, wide leading edge. The set-up is fundamental to your success. You must avoid any excessive shaft lean either in the set up or during the swing. Stand close enough to the ball that the butt of the club raises up and the heel is slightly off the ground and now cannot interact with the turf. Use a narrow neutral stance, ball and grip both in the middle just below your sternum. You can use your normal grip, or you can use your putting grip depending on how far you need the ball to carry. Grip down low and use as little loft as possible. The more time the ball spends on the ground the more room for error you will have. The movement itself is simple. You are just trying to return the club back to your set up position. Let the gentle rotation of your upper body around the sternum take control of the length and speed of the arc of your swing and let the club just go along for the ride. You are just moving the butt of the club in a wide shallow motion and let your legs react to what your upper body is doing. The magic is in the brushing. Good golfing.

By Peter Owen Paul Ewing smiles fondly at his wife Mel, describing their Saturday night outing as ‘our dateSomenight’.date night. Paul and Mel’s idea of a romantic rural getaway is a non-stop 24 hour adventure race, involving trekking, mountain biking, kayaking – even, this year, axe-throwing – over a rugged 120km course near Kenilworth. It’s the Hells Bells adventure race – a certified torture test for most of us, but a highly anticipated event for 90 teams that travel from every Australian state to compete. Clearly it’s an event for the fittest humans on the planet, and Paul and Mel qualify in that regard.Paul, the manager of the fitness centre at Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort, has been competing in similar adventure races for 20 years, and Mel is a marathon runner who has graduated to ultra-marathons – those races where competitors run forever. They competed together in their first Hells Bells event in 2018 under the team name Newly Weds – appropriate as they’d recently celebrated their marriage. This time the name had changed slightly, to NewlyWeds FourYears On. Teams of two or four athletes begin the race at 11am on Saturday, before them an arduous test of skill, stamina and navigation as they seek out 10 checkpoints, each one signifying a section completed. The course, over rough terrain and through raging rapids – much of it in pitch black darkness – is revealed to the athletes only hours before the start of the race. For the record, Paul and Mel clocked in at 24 hours, six minutes and 41 seconds and they freely concede that other teams completed the course in a quicker time. “But it’s not about the time,” said Paul. “It’s about competing – and finishing. And, let’s face it, we’re not the youngest athletes out there.”

Paul knows that some of their friends struggle to understand the enjoyment they take from an event like Hells Bells. “It’s our hobby,” he said. “We’re both heavily into fitness and we’re always in training – going for long runs or riding our bikes, or kayaking. We enjoy it. “I know 24 hours seems an awfully long time, but if you break it up into two-hour blocks it doesn’t seem so daunting.”

I was recently watching the television series Bridgerton where I saw croquet being played. This looked very formal, lots of period costumes and picturesque lawns. I wondered if this sport existed in Australia, apart from the backyard kits we had as children. I found that there was actually a club near me, at NoosaWaters! I found out that they had a regular Come and Try morning on Sundays so I went down to see what it was like. I was very pleasantly surprised. I had expected a much more formal and stylised game without too much physical activity, and not too much to worry about in the way of rules and strategies – just hitting a ball around on the lawns and getting it through the hoops. I was wrong on all counts! First of all, I found the people at Noosa Croquet Club to be extremely friendly and down to earth, no fussy ways at all. They showed me how the game of golf croquet worked, and I was given four free lessons over a period of a month before deciding whether to join. For me, it was the perfect sport – I was active, spending some hours walking around a grass court and getting exercise, without having to twist and turn – it was much kinder on my back. However, I was also swinging quite a heavy mallet over some distances and following it up, so there was lots of exercise. All in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere – this was not like Bridgerton at all, not a crinoline or cravat to be seen, but a group of friendly and very active people.Iwas particularly surprised to find that there is a lot more to golf croquet, as played at the Noosa Club, than I had anticipated - a mixture of snooker and chess on grass it has beenRulescalled.arestrict, strategies have to be worked out, decisions have to be made on nearly every shot. Every time I go on court I am learning newThisthings.isnot only a relaxed way to exercise, it is making me think in a way I hadn’t anticipated. I am so glad I joined – who knows, I may even get round to playing in competitions with a bit more practice. Dennise Drake found there was more to a game of croquet.

Croquet is a workout for body and mind

Paul said one of the major challenges was simply to stay awake. “From when we got up on Saturday morning until we lay down on Sunday afternoon was 34 hours,” he said. Mel, who also works at Noosa Springs as an events executive, said she fell asleep on the drive home after the race, woke long enough to soak in a hot bath, then slept for more than 12 hours.“There’s a real sense of achievement,” she said.“It felt great to cross the line together.”

My name is Dennise Drake and I am a new member of Noosa Croquet Club, which is situated in Noosa Waters in its most attractive grounds.Ihave always been very active and enjoyed all my physical activities. I have been a dedicated yoga participant, this was very much part of my life. In more recent tines, I have had a few back problems, and I have not been able to twist and turn as much as I had in the past and I have had to slow down some of my more vigorous activities.

By Phil Jarratt On a perfect Noosa winter afternoon – except the sailor’s friend, the sea breeze had gone AWOL – they came from everywhere for the long-awaited, Covid-delayed, salty soiree to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club’s splendid riverfront HQ.

Yottie turns 25 (again)

The originalYottie, known as the Noosa River Sailing Club when the first clubhouse was established in 1961, where the Gympie Terrace tennis courts are today, was barely big enough to swing a very short anchor chain, but right from the start (early 1950s) the club had a big heart.People who enjoyed sailing seemed to want to share their joy with others who had never had the opportunity, and that spirit has prevailed, through different names and loca tions.My own first experience of this came in the early ‘90s when a lovely and recently departed bloke called Bruce Whitfield, a faithful servant of what was by now the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, helped us promote water-based activities to kids who might otherwise not have had the opportunity through Noosa Council’s Nu Wave Youth Centre. Through this connection, I remember being introduced to frequent fabulous sunset beers on the rickety deck of that club the had served old Noosa well, but was not fit for purpose for new Noosa, exemplified at that time by the recently established and fast growing Noosa Waters estate. The existing clubhouse was simply not big enough to house the growing stock of equip ment needed for both sailing and rowing, and after a few ruffled feathers between the row ing and sailing cultures as to what worked best, it was agreed to accept a council offer of land at the mouth of the Noosa Waters Estate canal.On Easter Saturday 1994, the sailors and rowers sailed past the old clubhouse to the new clubhouse, and ever since then, the club has grown in size and membership. Covid may have delayed the 25th anniversary of the current clubhouse by a couple of years, but the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club had plenty to celebrate at last Saturday’s celebration.Forstarters, there’s the remarkable amount of $220,000 raised in financial year 2021 in support of the club’s YouthSail, Rowing and Sailability programs. This was a massive boost to these valuable programs helping the disabled of all ages and schoolkids to learn to row and sail. As a result of the funding the Stratus 580 trailer sailor, a multi-purpose vehicle used for adult sailing lessons, Sailability and the schools programs, has been upgraded. Four new vagabond sailing dinghies for the schools’ learn to sail programs, and two new RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) were purchased to ensure maximum safety on the water, and a new motor has been upgraded to the Rescue 1 boat.Safety being a priority, additional handheld radios were acquired for communication on the river, while to ensure ease of access for the Sailability program, the beach wheel chair has also been refurbished. Seven local schools now participate in the Schools Program, with over 3000 attendances. The Stratogen Accountants Sunshine Coast Inter-Schools Regatta is hosted every year with both primary and secondary divisions competing in a round robin format over two days. On average 18 teams compete for the trophy. The regatta is currently in its 12th year. Four rescue craft and 37 training boats now make up the fleet in the club’s sailing programs.The holiday programs, including FunSail and Learn To Sail (for seven-17 year olds), provide vital first steps in the sailing journey. Participants gain valuable life skills and confidence on the water. Many of these participants go on to compete in regional, state or national programs.Withthe rise of Covid cases in Queensland, rowing memberships noticeably increased, with people turning to the incredible health benefits that rowing provides. The club now boasts a thriving Master Rowers division, achieving State and National titles over the years. So well done, Yottie. Here’s to another 25.

What the old Yottie became - a great place for a drink but too small to be functional.

The all-conquering women’s team will fly the flag for the Ray White Noosa Dolphins at this Sunday’s Sunshine Coast Rugby Union grand final.Facing the highly rated Nambour team, the Noosa women will be keen to repeat their semi-final victory with coach Damien Cogill again pointing to defence as the key. “Nambour have shown this year that they are the team to beat, and it will take a faultless defensive effort to nullify their attack,“ Cogill said.“We have a really tight knit crew who love playing for each other and the club so I know they will leave nothing in the tank on Sunday. My assistant coach Rohan Ramsden and I have been lucky to be surrounded by such a talented group.“ Representing the Dolphins in the match scheduled for 12.15pm Sunday at University are:

The pointy end of the end of the season - 20 August – one more round to go Under 14s by Toby Eller Noosa Dolphins defeated by Uni in the semi finals, 19 to 22. We could feel the electricity in the air when we arrived at Caloundra Lighthouse Rugby Union fields. Everyone was anticipating a great game of Under 14s rugby. Finishing third on the ladder, Noosa were the underdogs playing against Uni who finished second on the ladder. It was a very physical game from the getgo. The boys, despite their best efforts, conceded a try to Uni early on in the first half. Despite Uni scoring two unconverted tries, Noosa was able to score a converted try towards the end of the first half which meant we were only three points behind at halftime. Coming out of the sheds, Noosa had to work harder than we have had to work all season to get points on the board. In the second half it was unconverted try for unconverted try and converted try for converted try, making it very exciting for all spectators and players. But in the end Uni were able to keep their three-point lead over Noosa. It took a team effort to get us to the semi finals and we played as a team on the day, both the starting 15 and reserve players. Thanks to our coaching team, Roxy and Alfie, and to all the dads that turned up to training each and every week to bring the best out of us as a team. Good luck to the U14’s from Maroochydore and Uni next week in the grand final.

20. Lilah Risson - yet another in her first year, has pace and will make an impact.

21. Tiger Livingstone - a fast, strong ball carrier. Hard to stop. Her impact could be telling.

4. Phoebe Langbridge - great lineout jumper. High work rate around the paddock.

some great support play and a typically top effort from Luke McCready. Saints continued to challenge us at the breakdowns and out wide and posted two quick tries to hit the lead 12-7. With only a couple of substitutes for the match, the Dolphins dug deep to hold the ball and work it downfield for Isaac Down to bust numerous tackles and score in the corner. With the scores now level, Will Stewart calmly stepped up and slotted the conversion for a tight win with a couple of minutes remaining.Welldone boys, great effort as you close out the season showing how far you’ve come with your skills, determination and game development. Under 10s Fins versus Reds It was a still Friday afternoon, the skies were clear and the temperature dropped as the Dolphins’ Club president made his way out onto the hallowed Noosa pitch. As a solid parent turnout watched on, the third and final grudge match of the two Dolphins U10s teams was underway. Both teams took to the field for the entirety of the game and from the outset the Fins, led by Perry, were the dominant side keeping the Reds on the back foot. Excellent defence and solid tackling from the Fins stymied the usual runs from the Reds’ Kai, Max and James, with a few close calls bearing little in points fruit. Good defence from the Reds kept the Fins at bay, but missed tackles left the likes of speed demons Marcus and Perry to romp through to the tryline on several occasions. At the end of the game, there were tears of exhaustion and whoops of elation, and those just from the proud spectators on the hill. These all-Dolphins games are the highlight of the playing season for the boys and coaches, and neither team left anything in the tank. Big congratulations to the Fins on a worthy contest fought well and won deservingly. Under 9s It was a long drive to Caloundra for the U9 Dolphins game against the Nambour Toads. The match started in spectacular fashion with a great run from Taylor resulting in a try to Barnaby. Nambour came back at us, but Jake was always there partnering Sol in the defensive line, repelling raid after raid. Following a driving tackle by Miller the ball was turned over and Tom stood up the opposition for our second try. With Hudson doing the hard yards, we were able to secure possession for brilliant solo tries to Eric and Taylor in short order. Not wanting to be left out, Mason decided to take on the Nambour forward pack for the first of his two tries. While the backs were getting all the glory, the likes of Zac and Monty were in amongst the hard work ensuring we had quality ball to workThewith.score was 7-0 at oranges. After the break the lads came out firing, Miller was amongst the tries and Hugo laid on the tackle of the day, a joy to behold. Hudson was having a game for the ages with some deft touches and blistering runs, meanwhile Eric picked one up from his bootlaces to scoot over for his second of the day. As the game entered its final minutes, Hunter surged through for a well-earned try and Tom capped off the game for his third try of theWhileday.the final score was 17-0 our opposition were magnificent in defeat, playing with heart and gusto for the full time. Congratulations to them. It was extremely difficult to pick the Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match, but the panel eventually awarded it to a welldeserving Hudson.

The club is encouraging all girls to be involved this season, either in the Master Blasters group or for those older to be drafted into one of the junior teams. The club is hoping to find enough senior players to form a women’s team to play in the Sunshine Coast women’s competition.

The season fixtures commence for First Grade on Saturday 17 September and for Second Grade on 24 September.

“We are actually playing some really good footy. Other than one lapse for 10 or 15 minutes in the games we have lost there has been nothing in it.

By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers are finals-bound which really is a magnificent achievement after a winless first season at QAFL level in 2021. The Noosa Tigers senior men’s team will take on the third-placed Redlands at Victoria Point from 2pm this Saturday in what can only be described as a mouth-watering elimination finalTheclash.Noosa team is hoping to get the services back of injured threesome Seb Rodgers, Tyler Stack, Shadeau Brain and also Brisbane Lions VFL player Charlie Bowes for the massive clash. Noosa enter the finals after a solid four week period of performance with basic skill errors a concern for legendary coach Chris Rourke.

“Our kicking skills going forward continue to cruel us but that’s a confidence thing that can turn very quickly. Our pressure has been terrific and that’s what finals are all about,” Rourke said. The Tigers go into the final with plenty of players having a really solid past month. Key forward Aaron Wilson has just been scintillating in 2022 whilst key defender Lachy Flagg continues to shine in the key defensive post.Big Bussey is starting to influence both around the ground and up forward whilst onballers Templeton, Laskey, Fitzpatrick and Wallis are ready-made to play finals and have been racking up plenty of touches over the past few weeks. It’s the likes ofWill O’Dwyer, Tommy Baulch and EJ who can turn a game at the drop of a hat that may make a significant difference in finals.The consistency of Connor McDonald and Ben Guthrie along with the big X factor

Junior cricket Training will commence for all juniors (Under 11 to Under 17s) on Tuesday 30 August at 4pm at Read Park. All prospective players need to register before that date as there is a fair amount of planning to be done before the season commences on 8 October. With the new A & B competition starting this season in U13 & U15, grading will be held during the first three training sessions on 30 August, 1 and 6 September. More details will be issued closer to the first training session.

Trial matches With the commencement of the cricket season only three weeks away, the club has arranged for a series of trial matches at Read Park next weekend, 26 and 27 August. They will play three T20 matches against the Gold Coast Club, Nerang-Mudgeeraba First Grade team. The first match will be under lights starting at 5.30pm Friday 26 August, (First Grade), the second will be on Saturday afternoon at 1pm (First Grade) and after a barbecue, the combined lower grades side will play the visitors under lights at 5.30pm. This will be a very important hit-out for the players as they will need to start the season in the same form, they finished the finals in March.TheFirst-Grade boys are confident they can bring home the three association trophies again this season. The second-grade team is aiming to improve on last season’s performances and with some new faces at the club, there will be competition amongst the players to be selected.

On Saturday afternoon at 7.30pm at Noosa Pirate Park, home of the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club, the 2022 season came to an end. As from 3pm the afternoon became one of festivities with an Old Boys and Greybeards Club reunion at the club and a large marquee to celebrate Women in League was erected on the northern end some 30m behind the goal posts.Out on the field the Pirates Old Boys were doing their best to revive old legs enough to get them through a game against Coolum. A lot of fun and a great leadup to the final game of the season: 6pm Pirates A grade vs Gympie. With a big crowd in attendance and a perfect day for football, there were hopes the final game of the season, hosted by Pirates would finish with a convincing win. However, this was not to be. When only six minutes into the game Gympie started with a try in the corner, which went unconverted. Gympie 4 Pirates 0. Then with a good backline movement Pirates hit back to make it 4 all. The game was very loose with ragged defence in centre field by both teams. On occasions Pirates forward pack showed good attacking moves that got them to within yards of Gympie’s line but the ability to finish off these moves was not there. It was a game that lacked the fire in the belly of mid-season competition, and the fluctuating defence of the home team turned the second half into one-way traffic - all in Gympie’s favour. Final score Gympie 46 Pirates 18. For the Pirates Club it has been a tough season, to say the least. With more than their fair share of injuries and Covid hits, there were A grade games which saw young up and coming players running out with the As. But the club spirit is still there, alive and well. The experience gained during such a season, will, I am sure be a great learning curve for all involved.Thepresence of the old boys and the ladies group proved that the base for the future is there.Damien Johnstone of the Old Boys and Grey Beard he was full of confidence for next year. “We have now built up our group to 85 members.

To Pirates head coach Brett Winkler, who is stepping down, many thanks for his contribution to the club and also the community. To be a coach in the world of sport can be tough enough, but to get caught up in an Covid epidemic and see it through is not a job for the faint-hearted. Weightlifting When you walk into the Noosa Barbell Club training session, situated in the CrossFit Noosa Fitness gym, 1/5 Lionel Donovan Drive Noosaville, you can’t help but notice the number of young women now participating in the sport.

For the Noosa Barbell club, it now has a membership of 35 men and women, 25 of whom are competing, with the other 10 in the process. It is really starting to move. On entering the gym, the atmosphere is nice and friendly and the big sign that is painted in large letters at the top of the back wall says it all. UNCONQUERED. In support of this is the slogan, The Invicta Way. This definitely creates a feeling of confidence.‘’At present we have a very good sponsorship support from Nick and Trish Radge, Chartists. Just recently they presented the club with a full club kit for our competitors,” Woogie said.This sponsorship could not have come at a better time as their competition season will have the athletes’ busy.

The first semi-final between Kelly and local wildcard Kauli Vaast, who is a brilliant young surfer and knows every piece of coral on this reef, promises to be the ultimate old versus newInsteadshowdown.it’san embarrassment, not to Kelly who has nothing left to prove but to all of us who actually thought he could punch the age barrier in the gut one more time. Outsmarted, outsurfed, the GOAT comes in with a shrug and a solitary point on the board. Is it the end for Kelly Slater? Of course not, but it might finally be the beginning of it. Meanwhile there’s still a final to be run, and it’s a Kaulidoozey.Vaast is 20, smart, eloquent, modest and a surfer who combines technical genius and flair. In other words, we haven’t heard the last, but on the day he is gunned down by superior barrel riding from one of the unsung heroes of the tour, Miguel Pupo of Brazil. Lately in the shadow of younger brother Sammy, Miggy turned it on right through this event to win his first WCT after years of trying. Not a dry eye on the Brazilian Storm boat in theNextchannel.week I’ll talk about the intriguing women’s return to Chopes after 16 years, and look at how next month’s WSL final series is shaping up.

FOOTNOTE: On deadline last week, the age divisions of the longboard divisions of the Australian Titles at Port Macquarie were still running, with several Noosa competitors in the mix. Better late than never, I can report that the evergreen Peppie Simpson took out the women’s over 60s, while Noosa’s only Barbadian surfer Wally Allan made a couple of longboard finals, having already won the over 40s logger. Great work, guys. Nathan Hedge on a roll. Picture: WSL Miguel Pupo’s long hard road pays off. Picture: WSLOne that came in too late for last week.

Old guys rule Teahupo’o

“I know it’s not going to happen, but I’d love to see Hedgey and Kelly in the final at Teahupo’o thisThat’sweek.”what I wrote in this space a couple of weeks ago, and yes, I was right. It didn’t happen. But it wasn’t that far off! Last Friday on the ferocious Teahupo’o reef off the Tahitian village they call the end of the road because that’s precisely what it is, some magical things happened, and not just the sunlight bouncing off the squalls and lighting up the backdrop of majestic volcanic mountains.I’ve said this a couple of times this year, but last Friday our time was one of the most incredible days of professional surfing in nearly half a century of watching them, on site and on the ever-improving media platforms. Well worth the effort of the 3am start. There were a number of reasons for this, but seeing as I’m old and so are these particular protagonists (well, relatively) let me recount the old guy story first. Hedgey and Kelly, of course.Theformer a much-loved but wild Narrabeen pro surfer of 43 summers whose glory days were considered well behind him, and who had just come off a long alcohol rehab; the latter the world’s greatest surfer who at 50 already has one tour victory behind him this season (at Pipe) and was a solid chance at backable odds to surprise in waves of consequence at Chopes, given that he’s won the event five times. After almost a week of poor conditions, the contest starts in waves that are only marginal, but Kelly, Hedgey and world number one Filipe Toledo catch a break when it is called off before their opening round heat, already in the water, can start. The next morning in better conditions, the old boys make Fil look like a kook, which he most certainly isn’t. Kelly is masterful and relaxed as he cruises into the third round, while Hedgey looks comfortable but goes to the elimination round, where, with the whole shebang on the line, he barrels his way in beautiful conditions to a near perfect 9.43 to send Toledo packing. By the time the round of 16 hits the water the surf is a pumping double overhead with the odd wider set even bigger. There are pits to be had and Kelly finds them to beat hardcharging Connor O’Leary with two excellent scores. Next up, Hedgey’s colourful cameo looks certain to end in the ruthless hands of the next world champ in waiting, Margaret River’s Jack Robinson. With a bit more than five minutes left, it seems to be following the script, with Hedgey needing two nines to break out of a sickening combo. It’s a Friday arvo at Narrabeen and although I’m in Noosa, I can almost smell the beer-soaked pandemonium at The Antler as Hedgey’s mates will him to make a miracle happen. (The old Narrabeen Antler was knocked down and replaced by the Sands decades ago, but it’ll always be the Antler to me.) It’s impossible but Hedgey drops late into a massive bomb, freefalls down the face and seems to dig a rail as he turns behind a curtain of spray.It’sall over. No, wait. It’s not! Here he comes flying out the other end clenching his fists. The boat crowd watching from the channel goes berserk, but the job’s not done yet. Hedgey turns and paddles back out with fierceAnotherdetermination.setlooms and he pounces without priority and adds a middle eight to his high nine to win by less than a point as the buzzer signals the end of the heat. The swell has dropped significantly by next morning but it’s finals’ day. I sleep in until 5am and miss the men’s quarters, but pick up on replay that Kelly is right in this, taking out Yago Dora to progress to the semis. Sadly though, Hedgey’s dream run is over when he can’t find a backup for another excellent barrel. A heroic fifth.

“The properties on offer will be hotly contested as the number of available properties remains very limited,” Tom said, “and with a backlog of buyers becoming impatient there’s little doubt there will be a lot of competition for these.”

It’s a spacious home with beautiful coastal views and a renovation that has been tastefully done.

The open homes have been very busy open, mainly Brisbane people looking to invest with a view to retire. There is Sydney interest as well looking at the long term.

“The campaign is getting a lot of momentum,’’ Tracy said, “with locals looking at it instead of a house. “Being a duplex there is minimal body corporate. People love that. “There is a shared pool in the north-east corner, a built-in barbecue on the balcony and lots of storage underneath.’’

Noosa real estate agency principal Tom Offermann said property owners appeared comfortable with their holdings with comments such as ‘where would we go to if we“Insell?’the absence of an oversupply of listings, Noosa property will remain resilient in the medium term, and long term it will always be one of the most prosperous places to own real estate,’’ Tom said.“Auctions remain the most effective method of sale, no matter what the market conditions are like, offering benefits over private treaty such as faster unconditional sales with better prices achieved by having a deadline and buyers competing to win.”

Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the three-bedroom, threebathroom, two-car beachside apartment at 1/22 Avocet Pde, Peregian Beach, to auction at 9am Saturday, September 3.

Look out for the Tom Offermann Real Estate Spring Super Auction Weekend, on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 September.

“The home is in good condition but it’s all about the views … and the size.’’

Jesse Stowers at Tom Offermann Real Estate has listed a great family home at 31 Shire Dve, Noosaville. Priced at $1.55m, the four-bedroom, twobathroom, two-car house is in an elevated position and comes with pool as well as side“Thereaccess.isa lot of positive activity around it at the moment,’’ Jesse said. “We are busy at open homes at the moment.“There are a lot of buyers waiting - lot of demand.’’Thishouse is six years old, with big living spaces, and ready to just walk in and unpack.There has been a lot of local interest as well as Sydney. The Sydney parties have already sold and looking to move to Noosa, Jesse said, while the locals are staying within the market. The home radiates contemporary flair and scale, with high ceilings, timber-hued flooring, generosity of spaces with premiumgrade finishes and an emphasis on the muted greys, timber tones, black and white. From the open-plan living and dining spaces on the eastern side, there is a virtually seamless transition to the outdoors. The alfresco space is more an outdoor room for entertaining, as it borders lush lawn, a shimmering pool, sun deck and fenced garden. The dedicated lounge/media room and second living off the kitchen also shares a connection to the outdoors as it looks out to the terrace. The king-size main bedroom comes with a walk-in robe and an open-sided bathroom with a deep bathtub and double vanity cabinetry. Next door, an office could double as a guest bedroom.

Listed at $1.795m, it has been a lovely family home over a number of years, Tracy said.“It’s been nicely maintained, on a single level, and with grounds that are easy to maintain.“It’snot overly big … a great size. “This would be perfect to retire to. “There is a beautiful frangipani tree and nice lawn Lime-washed-lookarea.’’ flooring flows throughout the entertaining, living and dining areas to a covered timber terrace, pool and cabana.Thehouse is air-conditioned and features an L-shaped kitchen with island bench, kingsize main bedroom suite with walk-in robe andTheensuite.remaining three bedrooms share a contemporary bathroom with a free-standing bathtub.
