Fa rewell Ma’am Regional Queensland pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022)

By Phil Jarratt Next Friday, when a busload of delegates from the Social Enterprise World Forum being held in Brisbane visit the Galeru bush tucker farm in the hills behind Cooroy, they will no doubt be impressed by the range of native foods being produced and the amazing list of firsts being racked up by the current owners, but they may not be aware that over and above that, Galeru is fast becoming a poster child for the ideals of the social enterprise movement.

Rental stress up

By Margie Maccoll An increase in vacant houses, loss of high-end holiday lets, loss of permanent rentals, loss of house sales and the expense of dealing with unwarranted neighbour complaints are just some of the consequences of Noosa Council’s new short-term accommodation laws, according to industry professionals.

Under the new Local Law that came into place in February, all Short Term Accommodation (STA) must have council approval to operate, renewed annually, with exempted properties limited to those on sites identified in the Noosa Plan 2020 as visitor only.

The law requires a local person manage the property, be available 24/7, be located within 20km and respond to complaints within 30 minutes, and that guests abide by a code of conduct to ensure residential amenity. Council has established a 24/7 complaints hotline and register of complaints and is trialling security services contracted to observe activity when required.

Under the new planning scheme the shire is mapped into tourist, high, medium and low density residential zones with STAs considered an “inconsistent use“ of property in low density zones.

Glenn McClellan of Holiday Homes Noosa, which manages 75 properties, said some home owners were still waiting for approvals with a backlog of applications with council.

He said the process had been simple for properties with development and zoning approval but not simple for those applying for approval based on existing use rights who had to prove a history of holiday rental. “Council have created a monopoly. It’s completely unfair,“ he said.

“There’s been confusion with buyers over it,“ real estate agent Dan Neylan said.

“There are people who would pay the pric-

es if they could holiday-let but they have gone elsewhere.

“What’s the purpose of a development approval - it’s to determine the type of building that gets built. Council are using the use to determine how it can be used.

“If I built a holiday complex there’d be no restriction on living there permanently. The reverse doesn’t apply. It’s not right. It’s confusing for buyers. People are losing potential buyers.“ However in certain precincts, for example, in Noosa Waters it was a popular thing with buyers that there was no holiday letting, he said.

Noosa Council is embarking on a major overhaul of its Corporate Plan to create a new 20232028 blueprint for the shire.

Council has engaged Nicholson Sheehan Consulting Group to develop the new plan to reflect the community’s changing needs and priorities.

Chief executive officer Scott Waters said the plan would be developed through extensive community consultation.

“We have seen so much change in the past few years so it’s timely to review, reflect and create an exciting and invigorated blueprint for our shire,” he said.

The Corporate Plan is a legislated requirement for councils, but also provides an opportunity to set a direction for the next five years, based on the community’s needs, expectations and vision.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the Corporate Plan helped guide council’s decisions every day.

“This is a living plan which we will continue to review and revise over time,” she said.

“It outlines key strategic issues or projects that council will prioritise and advocate for on behalf of the community,” Cr Stewart said.

“The community will be a key part of developing this new plan.”

Mr Waters said the current Corporate Plan was updated in September 2018.

“A lot has changed since the last plan was adopted, we have lived through a pandemic, the 2032 Olympics is coming to the south-east and we have experienced a significant shift in the local economy, so it’s important residents have their say and help shape goals for the next five years,” he said.

“There will be a series of community workshops, staff sessions, an online survey and discussions with business and industry to ensure we get a good cross section of input.”

Cr Stewart encouraged all residents to be active participants in the engagement process.

“We really want this plan to reflect the views of our shire, so I implore all sections of the community to have their say and put forward their ideas,” she said.

Consultation will start in the next few weeks with plans to have the 2023-2028 Corporate Plan adopted in January 2023.

The weather is spectacular, school holidays are here and, as always, there’s plenty on offer to entertain the kids and the adults if you feel the need to drag yourself away from the beach.

The whales are migrating south so it’s the perfect time to hop on one of Noosa’s whale watching adventures.

If you’re lucky you might see some swimming past along the ocean beaches or going past Noosa National Park and catch sight of a few turtles and dolphins along the way.

If marine life is your fancy, take a trip to Mooloolaba to see some up close at SeaLife Sunshine Coast Aquarium.

Or take one of the many Noosa trails to enjoy the natural environment and land-based wildlife.

If you’re looking for some inside entertainment, try the libraries, theatres and galleries.

Little Seed Theatre will be performing Fame!

The Musical at The J Theatre in Noosaville this Friday and Saturday.

Noosa Regional Gallery is featuring exhibition One + One = Three, celebrating the kooky and macabre until 30 October.

And the Noosa Open Studios Art Trail will enable visitors to drop in on artists across the shire who open their doors to showcase their skills and creative masterpieces from 1 October.

Anyone wanting to catch the AFL grand final might want to pop along to Land & Sea on Saturday for their grand final lunch with guests, footballers Jack Zieball, David and Andrew Swallow, with Corey McKernan.

We hope our 12 page keepsake of Royal recollections will bring back memories of your own experiences with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Bush tucker is back again From page 1 Says managing director Terri Waller: “Yes, we’ll point out that we have the largest producing satinash stand in the world, that this is the largest Indigenous-owned bush foods farm in Queensland, and the fact that because of the state of the world, a lot of food industry people are paying attention to the fruit nuts and aromatics that we produce.

“But the highlight of this property is not a fruit or a tree but the whole lot as a social enterprise, which is what we’ll be trying to demonstrate to them.”

In fact, the connection with exotic native foods, celebrity chefs and brand-building is all a happy accident, brought about because SevGen Aboriginal Corporation, the farm’s parent company, needed a base to help rebuild troubled families and children.

It’s a remarkable story, stretching back more than a quarter century.

In 1997 middle-aged tree-changers Martha Shepherd and David Haviland bought about five hectares of ridiculously steep hillside with a simple cottage offering commanding views at its summit.

It might have seemed challenging to most, but Martha and David had a vision to inspire the creation of a small network of farms devoted to native bush foods.

Back in the ‘80s bush tucker had become a fad at trendy restaurants around the country, largely thanks to TV’s Bush Tucker Man, Les Hiddens. (Mind you, after I spent a day foraging in Kakadu with him for a Playboy interview, Hiddens drove us hastily an hour to the nearest roadhouse pub for a much-needed piebased counter tea and a few beers.)

But by the ‘90s, the fad had faded and native foods had disappeared from most city menus.

Martha, who had experience in marketing, thought it was time for a comeback.

She and David named the property Galeru and began planting lillypillies and satinash up and down the hillsides as well as blue quandong, white aspen and native tamarind and ginger.

By 2006 Galeru led a collective of small enterprises and Martha was winning prizes for her agribusiness model, but David’s health was suffering in the humid summers, and they reluctantly sold up and moved south.

The new owners were wannabe hobby farmers but their main interest was in expanding their view with a huge deck and an adjoining infinity pool.

Looking out across the majestic hills and valleys from a poolside lounger the other day, I could empathise, but the sad fact was that the orchard was soon overgrown with weeds and vines.

Luckily, however, native plants are nothing if not resilient, and in the fullness of time, when the owners gave it up for the city and offered Galeru for lease, idealistic local Ginny Mobbs jumped at the chance to uncover what lay beneath and give the farm new life.

She was well into this monumental task when the owners put the farm up for sale and told her to vacate at the beginning of last year.

While Martha and David were planting

Terri with Cr Tom Wegener in front of the biggest producing satinash stand in Australia. their hill and building their dream, Aboriginal woman Terri Waller, her husband and six children had arrived on the Sunshine Coast and Terri had started helping out with Indigenous programs at Nambour State School, where the principal recognised her potential immediately and told her to go to university and become a teacher. She did as he suggested, but from the beginning she knew that her education model would be vastly different from the one she was leaving.

In 2012 Terri founded SevGen, standing for the First Nations’ idea that what you do today will affect people seven generations into the future. It remains the guiding philosophy behind all of SevGen’s enterprises, including Galeru.

Says Terri: “As the SevGen organization built, it turned to justice, health and education reinvestment work, which were the main things we were asked to respond to.

“As a closed ecosystem, we needed some kind of property with accommodation for kids who were sent to us by court order for three or four months at a time. We’d tried renting and billeting but none of it really worked, so we started looking for something to buy.”

In the meantime, SevGen had also begun its first truly social enterprise business, the Deadly Espresso coffee distribution and cafe.

“They all told us you can’t call a food and drink business deadly”, Terri laughs.

“We said, don’t worry, the blackfellas will get it!”

Today the Deadly Espresso Cafes at Eumundi and other parts of the Sunshine Coast is a thriving business and a popular meeting place for community groups, while its offshoot in the Noosa National Park is a tourist delight.

At the beginning of last year, Terri heard

Galeru about 20 years ago, as the planting began. about Galeru being on the market.

She says: “I had no agricultural background.

This place just presented as a pure opportunity, with a building that could accommodate our needs and the orchard as a bonus.”

The downside was that a buyer would need to raise more than a million dollars, fast. As Terri Waller starts to tell the story of how SevGen did it, her steely determination is written all over her face.

She says: “We managed to cobble the finances together through the help of a combination of friends and fans of SevGen who knew our work over the years.

“Essentially, we crowd-funded through a group of people we call pot-holders who contributed funds to make it happen, and then a finance operation got us over the last hurdle.

“It was intense but it happened from nothing. It was bold, but we just did it.”

And that’s the way Terri and SevGen roll.

She continues: “Bush foods wasn’t a commercial goal, it was just what we inherited.

Picture: SEVGEN “Of course, I was interested in Indigenous foods, but when you hear about what had already been created by Ginny and Martha and David before her, it just sparks that passion.

“The original intent was for a place where we could carry on our mission-related work.

“Now it’s grown into a passion that meets a lot of current needs and current thinking, with the current situation in the world and the need for food agility.

“In our first year here, even with the rain bombs and Covid we’ve been able to continue with that work with family reunifications, youth justice, traineeships and so on.

“Ours is a completely different model of community development. On top of all that, we’re running a bush foods orchard that now offers 36 different native fruits!”

As well as the work with the Social Enterprise World Forum next week, Galeru Farm is working closely with Permaculture Noosa, the AgriHub, local chefs and the Noosa Biosphere Foundation’s upcoming fundraising gala on 1 November.

Prices driving them north

Former Noosans enjoying the Discovery Coast. L to R: Michael Burns,Ray and Vonnie Chadzynski, Chris De Aboitiz, Lance and Megan Bussell. went straight back into town and paid a deposit.

Never, ever a regret about that decision, although Agnes was still doing it tough those first few years, and as an investment it was a shocker, even though I’d bought at the bottom of the market.

Sales and prices had gone through the roof in 2011 when Gladstone, just up the road, became the hub of the Queensland mining boom. But the mining boom passed and holiday homes hit the market at less than replacement cost, and tourism to the Discovery Coast took a series of body blows as a sightseeing plane crashed, killing one passenger, a daytripper boat servicing Lady Musgrave Island caught fire and sank with no loss of life, and a fishing trawler claimed the lives of six local men when it sank in Bustard Bay. Add to the misery the fact that the Round Hill Creek bar silted up so much that commer-

cial boats couldn’t use it.

Then in late 2018, a ring of bushfires caused mass evacuations when it looked like Agnes Water would burn. It didn’t, but the crisis knocked another hole in the Christmas holiday trade.

Tough for local business, but for us, for lifestyle, it was the perfect yin to Noosa’s yang.

The Covid pandemic hit hard in the first half of 2020, but in the second half Queenslanders, unable to travel elsewhere, set off to tick their bucket lists.

The effect, in beautiful, still lazy, Agnes Water, was quite remarkable. Everyone wanted to visit, then they wanted to move there. Which gets us back to the sunset drinkers.

Noosa locals Ray and Yvonne Chadzynski, like the Bussells, had decided that Noosa’s growing urban sprawl and holiday crowds were becoming less desirable. They sold their home in February 2020, ordered a campervan

Ray and Vonnie Chadzynski. and prepared to spend the next few years exploring Australia.

Razor, a well-known figure in the surf and adventure sports industry, with several successful start-ups behind him, had travelled widely overseas, as had Vonnie, and they relished the opportunity to become transient domestic road warriors in their golden years. And then they couldn’t.

One day, just over a year ago, as the Covid property boom hit its stride, well-known Noosa estate agent Lance Bussell came home from a hard day of open houses and silly offers and said to wife Megan: “How’d you like to be mortgage-free and retire right now?”

“Her eyes were as big as saucers,” Lance recalls as we watch another beautiful sunset over Round Hill Creek.

Megan, a career health professional, picks up the story: “I said, I’ll take that. I’d been nagging him for years. We’d travelled so much in our lives and never stayed anywhere as long as we had in Noosa, and now we could see the urban sprawl starting to happen and the changes in the town. It just seemed the right time to go.”

I’d gathered a small group of former Noosans together over sunset drinks to discuss a property-price driven migratory pattern that probably won’t make demographic history but is certainly having an influence over the once-sleepy coastline of the Discovery Coast of Central Queensland, a stretch that incorporates the townships of Agnes Water and Town of 1770.

People – mainly developers – have been calling it the “new Noosa” since the first beachside subdivisions in the 1980s, and there has been a long, slow drift of Sunshine Coasters five hours north ever since. But the Discovery Coast, and particularly the commercial hub of Agnes Water, has never been, is not now and never will be the “new Noosa”.

While there are certainly geographic similarities, with north-facing beaches, point breaks and a rim of national parks, socially and culturally, this still-remote coast, an hour and a half away from Bundaberg and Gladstone, is a galaxy away from our realities. And therein lies its appeal.

I’ve been hooked since 1978, when I first drove in the three hours of rough dirt track from Miriam Vale to surf the end of a cyclone swell with just a couple of mates for company, and sleep in a fisho shack in front of the break for a dollar a night.

In the ‘80s I took my young family there a few times, camping beachfront at 1770, paddling my surfboard out to the anchored prawn trawlers to grab a bag of tigers they never wanted money for – “just get a round at the Tree”. In love all over again, all of us.

After we moved to Noosa in 1990, the camping trips became split between Agnes and K’gari, but the passion for the former never diminished, and during a week there in 2017, we tyre-kicked our way around a couple of holiday apartments that were on the market before falling in love with a spacious, highceilinged place with a big deck overlooking a rainforest and just a five-minute walk down a pleasant path to the beach, another five minutes along the sand to the surfing point.

We were thinking about it on the way home, but I got as far as the Fingerboard turnoff, 30 kilometres out, and remembered the advice of two old surfing mates: never miss an opportunity to buy real estate at the beach. I swung the car around at the Fingerboard gas station,

Chris De Aboitiz at The Summit.

Michael Burns and Mia. Says Razor: “We came up here to see friends who had been nagging us for years to check it out. I hadn’t been since 1979, and now they had a real road! I drove through town and it hadn’t changed. “Then we drove into Sunrise at 1770 [gated estate] and within five minutes Yvonne was saying, I could live here!”

“They moved to Agnes in July 2021, and are now planning to build at Sunrise where Ray has recently become chairman of the body corporate.

Michael Burns has been a traveler all his life, but he credits spending his early childhood years on remote island communities with his desire to wind up in Agnes. The fact that he’d been there on a yacht in 1975 also helped.

Readers might remember his late mother Rhonda Burns, a wonderful patron of Noosa arts and culture, or Mike’s Burns Gallery of Fine Arts in Eumundi.

But there’ll be none of that hyperactivity in

Agnes, where he and partner Lori settled early last year, after buying a house online, sight unseen from Victoria.

“I’m definitely retired now,” says Mike, “but I’m still a good judge of a property.”

Indeed he is. It’s a lovely, sun-drenched beachside bungalow, with gorgeous Hal Barton originals on the walls, reminding me that he’s both an art dealer and a Noosan at heart.

For every new arrival from Noosa, there’s an older one who influenced the decision.

Dog whisperer and former world tandem surfing champion Chris De Aboitiz is a prominent one.

After a dozen years in Agnes, Chris has developed several successful local businesses, including his stand-up paddle hire and school at 1770, and the wildly successful Summit dogfriendly accommodations and campground, just on the edge of town.

Janene and Mark Hulst at Sandcastles.

1770 marina sunset.

He says: “We moved to Noosa at the end of the ‘80s when it was either just the right size or maybe a bit too small, but it stayed right through the ‘90s, then it got too busy.

“Now Agnes has grown from too small to just about right, but it’ll go through the same process here and one day it’ll be too busy. But I’ll be dead by then!”

Maybe we all will be, but the growth creep is definitely on.

The Discovery Coast population has doubled since Covid began, and two over 50s resorts and a big Stockwell shopping centre are underway. Longtime locals love the amenity, recent arrivals are a little bit concerned. But only a little.

On our last evening in Agnes for this month we catch up with former Noosans Mark and Janene Hultz, managers of the Sandcastles Resort where our property resides, about to retire the very next day. Over the five years we’ve

owned here, we’ve become good friends, and we’re delighted to see them bowing out on a high, after struggling through the difficult years.

Says former airlines flight engineer Mark: “After 15 years out of Noosa and seven of them running Sandcastles, we’re looking forward to taking a backseat, travelling in our camper and spending time with the grandkids.”

Janene concurs about time with the grandies, but both of them have been community activists since arriving in town all those years ago.

Their lovely home overlooking Bustard Bay will remain their base, and I’m sure they’ll remain a positive force in the local community.

This is just a small sample of people who have traded Noosa for Agnes. You wouldn’t call it an exodus just yet, but it’s disturbing how many familiar faces you see in the supermarket and the tavern.

Short term letting stress From page 1 In February 2021 Noosa Council estimated there were 4900 dwellings in Noosa being used for STA. This week a council spokesman said council had received 2534 applications for shortterm lets and home-hosted accommodation.

Of those, 1359 had been approved with 37 refused, primarily due to the property not having the lawful town planning rights to operate from the site. Lawful planning rights may be through a development approval, a superseded planning scheme approval as accepted development, or existing use rights, he said.

Mr McClellan said they had lost about five per cent of properties whose owners decided the process was “too hard“.

He said previous prime holiday locations such as Noosa Parade and Witta Circle had taken a noticeable hit with STAs dropping from about 27 to seven and Mr Neylan agreed.

“We’re a premiere holiday destination.

What is the five-star accommodation? It’s the houses,“ he said.

“People who have spent $16-20 million on their properties are not holiday-letting, they’re just locking them up. You only need to drive around at night to see it.“ Mr McClellan said they had seen a reduction in the numbers of high-end tourists who were choosing, instead, to go overseas, and weren’t seeing an influx of overseas tourists which existed pre-Covid.

“It’s just another reason for people to not come here,“ he said.

Under the new law, breaches can result in fines, compliance notices and even the suspension or cancellation of STA operating approval.

To ensure they are managing their clients’ houses well and that their guests are doing the right thing, Holiday Homes Noosa has employed security control at an annual cost of $90,000.

The STA rules have not resolved accommodation issues in Noosa.

Since the law came in Mr McClellan said they had been called, mostly from Council’s hotline, to attend STAs to deal with complaints they discovered to be unreasonable, most relating to three or four of their properties, causing them frustration and abuse from holiday-makers.

“In seven months we haven’t had a legitimate complaint,“ he said.

Among the complaints was one received on a Sunday afternoon about a dog left at the property and fretting.

“We called the guests and they said we’re down the river with our dog,“ he said.

Unable to contact Council they attended the property only to find the distressed dog was at another property down the street.

In another incident, a neighbour complained about a car parked in the street, guests not being allowed to park in the street.

The guests told them it wasn’t their car.

In an attempt to fix the problem they phoned the police who asked if it was legally parked. It was, so it was not a police issue.

“It’s ludicrous, it’s very frustrating,“ he said.

Another time someone complained about a family singing Happy Birthday to their 80-yearold grandfather.

Last Monday, the first day of school holi-

days, at 9am they received a call about kids swimming in a pool.

“We went there and there were four kids in a swimming pool, just being kids in a pool,“ he said.

Mr McClellan said all their guests were made aware of the local law and provided with a Code of Conduct before booking.

In this instance he told the tenants the kids had to be quiet. If they weren’t quiet they’d have to get out of the pool or leave the premises, he told them.

A council spokesman said they had received 184 complaints received in total, with 117 of these made through council’s 24/7 hotline.

“The complaints have largely been about the short-stay letting property impacting residential amenity due to noise coming from the property, including use of outdoor areas late at night. Complaints ... have also been made about car parking and bins left out,“ he said.

Council has issued a number of formal notices to the owners of short-stay letting properties for failing to comply with their local law approval. At this stage, no infringements have been issued as the operators have addressed the identified breaches, council told Noosa Today.

During council’s local law consultation process ,blame for a shortage of affordable, permanent accommodation was levelled at properties being used instead for STAs but the experts say the implementation of the law has seen a greater loss of affordable accommodation.

“There’s zero evidence of STAs used for permanent use. If they can’t use it themselves, (owners) lock it up,“ Mr Neylan said.

In older areas in Noosa Hill and Noosaville, now zoned for STA, there were a lot of affordable units.

“It’s driving permanent tenants out of affordable units, cheap units in medium zones, for holiday letting, he said.

“Some of the older holiday units are no longer being used for holiday lets so that’s reduced places available for affordable family holidays.

They’re being sold for permanent residents, but not at affordable prices.

“When you look at the stock of holiday homes, they’re not affordable accommodation,“ Mr McClellan said.

On a positive note, people were still coming to Noosa to holiday with their accommodation “relatively full“, he said.

But the lack of affordable accommodation was having a widespread impact on staff availability and leading to an increase in people visiting Noosa for the day and seeking accommodation outside the shire, using infrastructure and increasing traffic congestion.

“From a labour issue, they can’t afford to live here,“ Mr Neylan said.

“Everyone’s down on landlords but stats show there are 600,000 rentals across Queensland and only 15 per cent provided by the government. The rest are by mum and dad.

“What’s going to encourage them?

“It’s not attractive to rent. Tenants are getting more rights. We have a land tax the State Government is bringing in.

“I think we desperately need to solve this issue.“

Challenging rescue made It took the combined efforts of multiple emergency service units to rescue a man aged in his 20s who fell about 20m from the boardwalk onto rocks below at Coolum Esplanade last week.

QAS Sunshine Coast Operations Supervisor Mark Fisher described the event as “quite a complex rescue”.

“The patient had fallen on a sheer area of cliff,“ he said.

“He stepped out from underneath the boardwalk, appeared a bit dizzy and went over the edge. We then had a patient at the base of a cliff with an incoming tide at about 9.35pm.

That tide was incoming until about 10.35pm.

“We had a QPS officer initially, went down cliff face, a Surf Lifesaver was at the base of the cliff with the patient and QFPS arrived and helped us gain access to the base of the cliff with their vertical rescue team. They were winched down to the patient, then we had rescue helicopter come down to this area.

“The patient had sustained serious injuries including a head injury, a suspected spinal injuries and multiple abrasions. He did remain conscious throughout.

“It was quite a protracted effort getting everybody down to him then getting him safely winched to the chopper and then transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital.“

Covid worst is over - Health Minister D’Ath

By Arthur Gorrie The peak of Queensland’s latest Covid wave on 26 July saw 1123 coronavirus patients in hospitals, but the state’s public health recovery had been faster than expected, Health Minister Yvette D’Ath has told state parliament.

She also flagged a relaxation of public health directions, especially those involving mandatory vaccinations. At peak “66,569 active cases were reported on that day“ while 2404 Queensland Health staff were off work with the virus, she said.

The good news was that there were now only 350 current cases.

She said a contributing factor to the faster than expected public health recovery was that more than 831,000 Queenslanders over the age

Covid progress - Health Minister Yvette D’Ath. of 65 had their fourth-dose booster.

“More people with Covid-19 also sought antiviral medicines. Between 20 June and 24 July prescriptions rose from 800 a week to 6467 a week, an increase of over 800 per cent.

“Our Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard

warned recently that a fourth wave in December is possible.

“However, it is clear that we are in a new stage of the pandemic. Given that we will be living with this virus for years to come, we need to transition away from managing via public health directions unless it is absolutely necessary.“ Continuing relaxations of these directions had led to the removal last week of mandated vaccination requirements for workers in private healthcare settings, including private hospitals and GP clinics.

But mandates would be retained in Queensland Health facilities, private agedcare facilities and disability accommodation services.

So far in 2022, 214 people have lost their lives while travelling on Queensland roads.

Overwhelmingly, the fatal five have played a factor in many of these incidents.

In a bid to save lives, the Queensland Police Service (QPS) is launching a state-wide road policing initiative, Operation Spring Break, to crack down on dangerous driver behaviours and help ensure Queenslanders make it home safely these September school holidays.

From Saturday 17 September through to Monday 3 October, police across the state will be conducting high visibility and overt patrols, speed detection and static and mobile Random Breath Testing (RBT).

As the busiest highways and tourist centres experience an influx of motorists, these strategies aim to target speeding; drink and drug driving; the wearing of seat belts; fatigue and distraction.

Assistant Commissioner Ben Marcus said peak periods like school holidays often mean a higher occurrence of traffic crashes, as travellers navigate long distances and unfamiliar locations.

“It is vital that motorists take responsibility on our roads, ensuring everyone gets home safely starts with the decisions you make behind the wheel,” AC Marcus said.

“You can expect police anywhere, anytime all year round – but these school holidays, Operation Spring Break will see police out visibly in force.”

Rolls that carried Queen

By Jim Fagan The Rolls Royce which carried Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on two of their tours in Australia and a 100-year-old Bugatti are just two of the stand-out attractions at the Noosa Charity Car Show on Sunday 2 October.

Noosa’s Roadrunner Car Club, whose members come from Brisbane to Gympie and Hervey Bay, is staging its annual charity car show at Chaplin Park, Noosaville and, just as it has done at previous years, proceeds will be donated to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice at Doonan.

While each of the 130 cars on display has a story to tell, that of the 1967 Rolls Royce is unique as it has the distinction of having ferried the Royal couple in 1980 and again in 2000 in our main cities.

It is part of the collection of the Sir Henry Royce Foundation at Coolum and is being exhibited by Foundation trustee Frank Carroll.

The 1922 Bugatti Type 13 will be festooned with balloons as it is celebrating its 100th birthday and a career which includes racing at Isle of Man and Maroubra, Sydney, racetracks.

Owner Mick Freestone, of Bli Bli, inherited the car from his dad, Ernie, in 1980.

“Dad was working in a service station in Adelaide in 1960 which had a showroom full of old cars. A chap came in to pay for his fuel and said, ‘I’ve got a small car under the house, and you can have it.’

“Dad found the Bugatti in a million bits and put it back in near operating condition with all the parts he had.

“I took over and I have now completed the project to Bugatti standard. I’ve just had the radiator refurbished and the oil pump done and am looking forward to displaying it to the spectators at the show.”

Club president Graeme Block said the 130

Legend farewelled

By Phil Jarratt As most people in Queensland’s world of top level executive hire knew, if you were shortlisting for a chair or CEO in the realms of tourism, travel and its associated industries, you’d look no further than Steve Gregg, whose 40 years of greasing the wheels of the tourism industry in a variety of important roles gave him an incomparable insight into the intricacies of the game.

What was lesser known about Steve’s stellar career were his mentoring skills and his guidance of community organisations through the pitfalls of funding and organisational issues, particularly in relation to the sporting passions that drove him, among them bushwalking, kayaking, running, cycling and, above all, surfing, which was primarily where his life and mine intersected.

Stephen Gregg, who passed away at his Sunshine Beach home last week after a courageous eight-year battle with cancer, aged 73, was a great leader, a fine man and a stoked grom until the day he died.

There are many others in this town who know far better than me the surfing stories this Brisso accumulated since he started coming to Noosa almost 60 years ago, but in my experience of him, in the water, in the boardroom and over coffee or a beer, this was a man whose word was his bond, and whose wise counsel could be trusted.

Steve offered advice and helped engineer solutions on several occasions when the Noosa Festival of Surfing was struggling, and he was with us at Noosa Council chambers in December 2013 for the inaugural steering committee meeting that would ultimately see Noosa become the 10th World Surfing Reserve six years later.

In the wider world, Stephen Gregg held senior positions that included chief executive officer of Tourism Queensland and Dreamworld,

Steve in his happy place, competing at the Noosa Festival of Surfing. Picture: NFS chair of Tourism and Events Queensland, chair of Queensland Rail, and chair of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, as well as executive positions in Far North Queensland.

In the midst of all this activity, he also found time to help out locally, serving on the board of Tourism Noosa from late 2016.

Former Tourism Noosa chair Drew Pearson described Stephen’s passing as a great loss.

“As a member of the Tourism Noosa Board, Stephen brought extensive experience from his former roles with Tourism Queensland.

His knowledge of the tourism industry was extraordinary. Steve was thoughtful, measured, calm and particularly astute.

He made an enormous contribution to the

tourism industry and was highly respected by everyone who knew him.”

In a statement last week, Tourism Tropical North Queensland noted: “Stephen moved mountains for our industry in his calm and thoughtful way, and we say goodbye to our valued friend and mentor, one of the true gentlemen of tourism.”

Current QTIC chair Elsa Dalessio said: “His quiet leadership and thoughtful resolve touched many within our nation’s tourism sector. The various significant outcomes he achieved for tourism will have a ripple effect that stretches across generations.”

Stephen Gregg is survived by wife Christine, four daughters and six grandchildren.

His daughters posted the following on social media: “It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our incredible husband, father and grandfather. Dad remained in his beachside home until the end, listening to his records and surrounded by family.”

Friends are invited to join the family for a memorial service to celebrate Stephen Gregg’s life at Sunshine Beach Surf Club, 10.30am, Tuesday 27 September.

Community disaster response The first round of Noosa Council’s Community Disaster Response and Recovery Grant is now taking applications.

Noosa Council has received $60,000 worth of funding from the Public Health Network (PHN) to support communities to recover and build resilience.

It’s part of the mental health support package to assist flood-affected Australians.

Council’s community grant officer Meagan Monk said the grants were open to eligible organisations to fund a social worker to help those in crisis as a result of the recent disaster.

“It is a top priority for council to promote wellbeing and healing in the community, so we set this as one of our main objectives when offering this grant to potential recipients,” continued Ms Monk.

The grant round closes at noon, Friday 7 October. Results will be announced in November 2022.

Community Disaster Response and Recovery Grants are now open to assist Noosa community.

Winged walkers united An early morning thunderstorm passed just in time for several hundred people to gather along Gympie Terrace last Friday to take part in the second annual Sunshine Butterflies Walk in Wings all-inclusive 3km walk.

Sunshine Butterflies founder and chief executive officer Leanne Walsh said she was expecting another brilliant walk with a kaleidoscope of colour and wings to support those people in our community with a disability, and she wasn’t disappointed.

“I am thankful to my team for their dedication to deliver this event again this year.

“Over 4 million people in Australia are living with some form of disability, that’s one in five people.

“Our goal is to unite local businesses, schools, sporting clubs, community groups and the general public as we celebrate diversity and inclusiveness,“ she said.

The walk also attracted the winners of the Block in 2020 Jimmy and Tam as well as Sunshine Coast Lightning players Kate Walsh and Cara Koenen.

The 2022 Walk in Wings by Sunshine Butterflies was sponsored by Herbalife Nutrition as well as Stay Property Group, Bendigo Community Bank Tewantin- Noosa, Team Body Corporate and Shanahan Family Law.

Sunshine Butterflies founder Leanne Walsh cut the ribbon to start the walk.

awards aim to recognise solutions from within the Noosa Biosphere Reserve that address the global challenges of climate change, sustainable development and biodiversity conservation.

Time to register your dog Annual dog registrations are now due.

There are more than 10,000 registered dogs in Noosa Shire and registering your pet helps Council to identify lost dogs and reunite them quickly with their owners.

It is a State Government requirement that all dogs over the age of three months are registered with their local council.

Owners can pay for dog renewal online at noosa.qld.gov.au or at the Customer Service Centre in Tewantin.

To encourage responsible pet ownership, Council is running a competition to find Noosa’s cutest dog.

During September, pay your dog renewal and check out Council’s social pages to enter your pet pooch in the competition. Weekly prizes are up for grabs with an overall winner announced in early October.

For residents who own multiple dogs, check the bottom of your renewal notice to view all dog details.

For the desexed dog fee to apply, documented proof is required.

Availability of necessary material due to the public holiday for the Queen’s funeral has resulted in a delay to asphalting work of Noosa Parade.

Contractors had planned to carry out the work on Sunday 18 September, but will now start on Sunday 25 September.

Director of infrastructure services Larry Sengstock said contractors considered a number of options but decided delaying the work was the best outcome.

“The public holiday on Thursday has created some uncertainty about availability of the necessary material to ensure things would operate smoothly,” he said.

Resurfacing works will now start 25 September and finish by 7 October.

Asphalting and installation of temporary lane markers will occur from 6pm to 6am Sunday to Thursday nights.

It is expected the work will take about two weeks to complete, subject to weather conditions.

Cancer survivor steps up

Joe Surace battles through his treatment.

Joe Surace in May as he continues to recover.

“I survived the chemo, but along the way my body became incredibly weak and frail,” he said.

“In 2015, I had surgery to remove problem lymph nodes and one testicle. It was an extremely risky nine-hour operation, but once again, I survived.”

12569298-AV38-22

Cancer survivor Joe Surace reflects on his long journey through chronic pain, a multitude of doctor visits and tests, that eventually led to hearing the words “you have cancer,” as he takes on the title of Sunshine Coast Face of Relay.

Joe is honoured to lead the proceedings on Saturday 8 October at the 2022 Sunshine Coast Relay For Life event, a Cancer Council Queensland movement created to raise awareness and funds for cancer care in local communities.

Mr Surace’s cancer journey began in 2013, when he wrote off his back pain as a product of his work, but by early 2014, the pain couldn’t be ignored.

A multitude of tests yielded no answers, and it was during a trip to the Middle East with his wife that he hit his breaking point.

“I remember being in the famous underground Basilica Cistern in Istanbul and pain was shooting up my back and down my leg. It got so bad I had to leave,” Mr Surace said.

Upon his return home, tests continued to yield no answers for Joe.

By May of 2014, after being rushed to emergency for the pain, Joe was sent for an MRI, and the source of the pain was revealed – cancer.

Mr Surace’s health went downhill quickly, and he was back in hospital days later “That was the start of a marathon 133 days straight in hospital. When I got there, they told me if I hadn’t rushed in, I would’ve been dead in the next few days,” he said.

Mr Surace was diagnosed with embryonic germ cell metastatic carcinoma, which had started as testicular cancer, then spread to his lymph nodes. The cancer had spread through 80 per cent of his liver, and his kidneys were starting to fail.

The treatment prescribed was aggressive, and many doctors warned Mr Surace he might not survive it. The alternative to treatment was a prognosis of one to three weeks to live.

Mr Surace is still recovering, getting stronger by the day, and is eternally grateful that he had his wife, Caroline, and a great support network by his side, caring for him throughout this journey.

As the face of the Sunshine Coast Relay, Mr Surace will stand alongside fellow survivors and carers to support those going through a

cancer experience, recognise and celebrate cancer survivors, and honour and remember loved ones lost.

This year, the Sunshine Coast Relay For Life Committee is aiming to raise $44,000 to support Cancer Council Queensland’s cancer research, prevention programs and support services.

Cancer Council Queensland general manager Meaghan Bush said this year’s Relay For Life would be a truly special event.

“By joining forces with Mr Surace at the Sunshine Coast event, you will help us get one step closer to a cancer free future,” she said.

Relay For Life is an event for everyone – no matter your age, or fitness level, you can get involved and make a difference.

Playtime at Swell Sculpture

Playtime on the beach A Noosa student art project has ended up in a Nation wide Art Installation on the beach for all to enjoy.

When Noosa Flexible Learning Centre was approached to help in the process they were delighted.

Artists Pam Walpole and Yanni Van Zijl had a fun project whose installation Playtime was chosen to be part of Swell Sculpture Festival at Currumbin Beach this September.

Noosa student Grace, with her computer skills, and manual arts teacher Scott with his great workshop, set up the computer required to talk to the machine that cut out the shapes provided as part of the project.

Thirty-two colourful dogs of all breeds are

romping, running, jumping, playing along the beach dunes for the enjoyment of all and Noosa’s local dogs have been the models. They all have names and individual collars so you can choose your favourite. From Josie the hot pink greyhound (Grace’s dog), Marcel the purple French Bulldog, Otis the Labrador, pink Poppy the Poodle, bright blue Harley the hound, lime green Leonardo the pointer – and lots more they have them all.

This will be the third time Pam and Yanni have been selected to exhibit at Swell, winning the Environmental Award in 2019. This year should delight the crowds with onlookers maybe recognising their pooch among the comical very colourful parade.

Grace and Scott work on the art installation.

The Genies working their heritage magic The Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical and Historical Research Group has a long name, a long history (over a quarter century) and a huge catalogue of resources to share with the community.

For short, the members sometimes just call themselves The Genies and the things they do may indeed seem a bit magical at times.

Genealogy – the tracing of family lines – is more than just discovering the records of your great grandparents’ births, deaths and marriages.

It can mean an adoptee finding unknown relatives, or perhaps uncovering the reason an ancestor was transported to Australia, or finding out that your pedigree goes back to the House of Tudor.

The genealogy group is housed in the purpose-built Heritage Centre, opened five years ago on Emerald Street in Cooroy.

It contains a library of books, periodicals, maps and other resources dedicated to family history research and our local area’s heritage. It has a large network of computers with access to online and local databases. Helpful volunteers are regularly on duty to help newcomers with questions about documenting a family tree or finding a lost ancestor.

You can get help accessing websites such as Ancestry.com or finding historical accounts in old newspaper articles or navigating archives, libraries, census records and so on. There are special interest groups that meet regularly such as the Irish and Scottish heritage groups and a writers’ group.

There are regular guest speakers and workshops on subjects related to family history as well as general historical research.

Most recently a workshop called Understanding Old Handwriting was given by Lee Goleby.

She covered subjects such as old styles of punctuation, unusual spellings and translating from other languages. There was advice on using special dictionaries and online resources.

One of the most useful lessons the old handwriting workshop was how to build an alphabet chart for the particular document being transcribed. This involved finding examples in the document of each letter in the alphabet, using words you were able to read, and copying them into a chart. The chart would then help you read unfamiliar words more easily.

Anyone who has ever looked at an old, hand-written document will appreciate just how different it looks from modern hand-

Learning a skill like this is immensely helpful for a researcher reading an old will or the passenger list from a ship’s manifest.

The Heritage Centre, located at 17 Emerald Street Cooroy, is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9am to 1pm.

The public is welcome to use the facilities and attend workshops for a small fee.

Oriana sings The Creation Brisbane Chorale and Oriana Choir join forces for the first time to present one of the great masterpieces of musical history Haydn’s The Creation, Sunday 13 November, 3pm at Venue 114, Bokarina and Sunday 20 November, 3pm at City Hall, Brisbane.

Conducted by Emily Cox, the magnificent, combined chorus will be joined by Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra and soloists Leanne Kenneally, Soprano, Tobias Merz, Tenor and Jason Barry-Smith, Bass.

Haydn’s monumental oratorio The Creation depicts and celebrates the creation, the wonder and beauty of the world. This radiant vision of the Genesis creation story sparkles with vivid word painting and exuberant choruses.

Haydn’s musical wit and astounding inventiveness as he describes a whole menagerie of creatures with a great sense of humour is delightful and the glorious and optimistic music is truly uplifting.

“Oriana is so excited to be joining with Brisbane Chorale for this once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Oriana president, Melissa Innes.

“A work of this scale is something rarely seen or experienced and we know Sunshine Coast and Brisbane audiences are in for a real treat.”

The Creation is one of the most popular of all oratorios. The first public performance of the work in 1798 in Vienna was sold out well in advance, so patrons are advised to book early.

You won’t want to miss this musical event of the year.

The Guide DOMINO MASTERS SBS Viceland, Saturday, 6.30pm

Not to be confused with its Legocentred counterpart, this flashy US competition series takes a new approach to an old game. Teams of delightfully nerdy domino enthusiasts race to design and assemble intricate block displays whose sole purpose is to topple into each other and create masterful, often breathtaking, chain reactions.

Host Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family, pictured) provides a warm and goofy presence that cuts through the intensity of these delicate builds and guest judge Bill Nye, “the science guy,” is a perfect addition for this week’s challenge where three teams attempt sciencethemed topples, with the best two continuing on to the semi-finals.

BLUNT TALK ABC TV Plus, Tuesday, 9.15pm

ICELAND WITH ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG SBS, Monday, 8.30pm

Presenters on travel shows can get lost in wonder and awe, but this entertaining three-part sojourn to Iceland with Pointless host Alexander Armstrong (pictured) revels in the silly, fun and bizarre. It only takes a few minutes of drinking in the sights and people of Iceland to realise that the land of fire and ice is a treasure trove of entertainment and oddities – and Armstrong is a ripe emcee and adventurer who finds amusement wherever he goes. In tonight’s premiere, he learns about Iceland’s culture, including the belief in elves, fairies and trolls, and visits an erupting volcano. The funnyman’s chuckles are a welcome accompaniment.

PICK OF THE WEEK

It’s a comedy that flew under the radar when it arrived about five years ago, but Blunt Talk is brimming with unique charm and kooky wit.

The half-hour sitcom stars Patrick Stewart (Star Trek) as British expat Walter Blunt, who lands in LA as host of his own haphazard news show, despite his off-colour antics.

Featuring awkward and hilarious interactions with his staff and overthe-top news stories, it’s a bracing look at the world of cable TV news, and a man who may be past his prime. Season two kicks off with Walter running into an old flame, who is in town to investigate a conspiracy. Also stars our own Jacki Weaver (pictured with Stewart) as Rosalie, Blunt’s tough-yet-motherly producer/manager.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE Seven, Sunday, 7pm

Of all the farmers in this fresh season of the hit reality-TV series, Will (pictured) has stood out from the pack. Why? Well, he won the genetic lottery.

But will the Brad Pitt look-alike triumph in his search for love?

In this syrupy look at farm life through rose-tinted glasses, it’s obvious that not everyone has signed off cameras to follow their every move for the pursuit of romance.

But Will seems like the real deal: “I didn’t come here to kiss everyone.

I came here to find my wife,” he declares.

Unfortunately, it seems everyone forgot to mention to him the show’s one certainty: melodrama.

Tonight, prepare to involuntarily shudder (and snicker) as the farmers’ families suss out their potential in-laws.

Amid formality and careful choreography, there were moments of raw emotion. Late on Monday, an ashen-faced King Charles held back tears, while grief was etched on the faces of several members of the royal family.

Huge crowds thronged the streets of London and at Windsor Castle to witness the moving, grand processions and ceremonies.

“Few leaders receive the outpouring of love that we have seen,“ Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, told the congregation at the state funeral in the majestic Westminster Abbey, where monarchs have been married, buried and crowned over the past 1000 years.

Among the 2000 congregation were some 500 presidents, prime ministers, foreign royal family members and dignitaries, including Joe Biden of the United States.

Outside, hundreds of thousands had crammed into the capital to honour Elizabeth, whose death at the age of 96 has prompted an outpouring of gratitude for her 70 years on the throne.

Many more lined the route as the hearse took her coffin from London to Windsor, throwing flowers, cheering and clapping as it passed from the city to the English countryside that she loved so much.

At St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, some 800 guests attended a more intimate committal service which concluded with the crown, orb and sceptre - symbols of the monarch’s power and governance - being removed from the coffin and placed on the altar.

The Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the royal household, then broke his ’Wand of Office’, signifying the end of his service to the sovereign, and placed it on the casket which then slowly descended into the royal vault.

As the congregation sang God Save the King, King Charles, who faces a huge challenge to maintain the appeal of the monarchy as economic hardship looms in Britain, appeared to be fighting back tears.

It was in the same vast building that the queen was photographed alone, mourning her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, during the pandemic lockdown, reinforcing the sense of a monarch in sync with her people during testing times.

Later on Monday evening, in a private family service, the coffins of Elizabeth and Philip, who died last year aged 99, were moved from the vault to be buried together in the same chapel where her father, King George VI, mother, and sister, Princess Margaret, also rest.

At the state funeral, Welby told those present that the grief felt by so many across Britain

Her late majesty famously declared on a 21st birthday broadcast that her whole life would be dedicated to serving the nation and Commonwealth.

Rarely has such a promise been so well kept.” and the wider world reflected the late monarch’s “abundant life and loving service“.

“Her late majesty famously declared on a 21st birthday broadcast that her whole life would be dedicated to serving the nation and Commonwealth. Rarely has such a promise been so well kept,“ Welby said.

Music that played at the queen’s wedding in 1947 and her coronation six years later again rang out. The coffin entered to lines of scripture set to a score used at every state funeral since the early 18th century.

After the funeral, her flag-draped casket was pulled by sailors through London’s streets on a gun carriage in one of the largest military processions seen in Britain, involving thousands of members of the armed forces dressed in ceremonial finery.

They walked in step to funeral music from

marching bands, while in the background the city’s famous Big Ben tolled each minute.

Charles and other senior royals followed on foot.

The casket was taken from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch and transferred to a hearse to travel to Windsor, where more big crowds waited patiently.

Among those who came from around Britain and beyond, people climbed lampposts and stood on barriers and ladders to catch a glimpse of the royal procession.

Millions more watched on television at home on a public holiday declared for the occasion, the first time the funeral of a British monarch has been televised Elizabeth died on September 8 at Balmoral Castle, her summer home in the Scottish Highlands.

Her health had been in decline, and for months the monarch who had carried out hundreds of official engagements well into her 90s had withdrawn from public life.

However, in line with her sense of duty, she was photographed just two days before she died, looking frail but smiling and holding a walking stick as she appointed Liz Truss as her 15th and final prime minister.

Such was her longevity and her inextricable link with Britain that even her own family found her passing a shock.

“We all thought she was invincible,“ Prince William told well-wishers.

The 40th sovereign in a line that traces its lineage back to 1066, Elizabeth came to the throne in 1952 and became Britain’s first postimperial monarch.

She oversaw her nation trying to carve out a new place in the world, and she was instrumental in the emergence of the Commonwealth of Nations, now a grouping comprising 56 countries.

When she succeeded her father George VI, Winston Churchill was her first prime minister and Josef Stalin led the Soviet Union. She met major figures from politics, entertainment and sport including Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II, the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Pele and Roger Federer.

Despite being reputedly 1.6 metres tall, she dominated rooms with her presence and became a towering global figure, praised in death from Paris and Washington to Moscow and Beijing. National mourning was observed in Brazil, Jordan and Cuba, countries with which she had little direct link.

“People of loving service are rare in any walk of life,“ Welby said during the funeral. “Leaders of loving service are still rarer. But in all cases, those who serve will be loved and remembered when those who cling to power and privileges are long forgotten.“ The tenor bell of the Abbey tolled 96 times.

Among the hymns chosen for the service was The Lord’s my Shepherd, sung at her wedding in the Abbey.

In the royal group following the casket into the Abbey was the queen’s great-grandson and future king, Prince George, aged nine, and his younger sister Charlotte, seven.

Towards the end of the service, the church and much of the nation fell silent for two minutes. Trumpets rang out before the congregation sang God Save the King. Outside, crowds joined in and broke into applause when the anthem was over.

The queen’s piper brought the service to an end with a lament called Sleep, Dearie, Sleep.

At Windsor there was a similar, poignant end to the ceremony with a lone piper walking away, leaving the chapel in silence.

“I’ve sang God Save the Queen all my life,“ said John Ellis, 56, an army veteran who had travelled to Windsor. “It’s going to be quite hard to change now.“

Regional Australia pays tribute to the Queen By the Honourable David Littleproud MP Australians throughout our regional towns will have grown up only knowing Her Majesty and will now be feeling a great sense of loss.

Her Majesty was a shining light of great hope and comfort for communities across regional, rural and remote Australia.

Her Majesty was a frequent visitor of regional Australia and held a great fondness and affinity with the determination and spirit of our communities.

Many of those communities celebrate a special part of their history when they were lucky enough to have a Royal visit in places such as Mackay, Rockhampton, Benalla, Bathurst, Alice Springs, Lismore, Casino, Sale, Kununurra, Echuca, Longreach, Dubbo, Cooma, Wagga Wagga, Swan Hill, Mount Isa, Orange, Kalgoorlie, Shepparton, Tamworth, Mt Gambier, and Traralgon.

This fondness for regional Australia was reflected in our communities through celebrations such as our Royal Agricultural Shows. Entry and participation into these shows has been traditionally a chance to showcase a regions’ finest for judging as a prize suitable for The Queen.

In the midst of regional Australia’s tough26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 September, 2022

est times Her Majesty provided many messages of support and strength. These efforts showed her true kindness, humanity and leadership which Her Majesty brought to the role and is one that will be sorely missed.

Australia is the lucky country and part of that luck has been due to the fact Her Majesty has been able to reign over us. The stability Her Majesty has provided has improved the lives of many.

Loyalty to the Crown is at the heart of The Nationals values and enshrined in our Party’s constitution. Regional Australia will be devastated by Her Majesty’s passing but can take great comfort knowing Her Majesty is now at peace.

My offices now have condolence message booklets in which constituents are able to leave condolence messages regarding the passing of Her Majesty or people can complete a condolence message at: https://www. pmc.gov.au/her-majesty-the-queen These condolence messages will be sent to Buckingham Palace and archived by the Commonwealth and may be displayed at its national institutions, forming part of the lasting record of Australia’s close relationship with The Queen over many decades.

Republic support wanes

By Phoebe Loomes and Dominic Giannini, AAP Almost four million Australians tuned in to watch Queen Elizabeth’s funeral service, but fewer than half the population believe the country should become a republic.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is back in Australia, having joined more than 2000 people in Westminster Abbey for the state funeral and related events.

Sharing his reflections of the day on Twitter, Mr Albanese said he was “deeply moved by the quiet solidarity“ of people who had queued through the night to pay their respects to the Queen.

“All walks of life, united in their grief and gratitude,“ he wrote.

“The funeral service was in that same noble spirit.

“Representatives from around the world joined the royal family and the British people in giving thanks for the Queen’s life and her example, saluting her devotion to duty, faith and family.

“It was a privilege to be part of the Australian delegation and a witness to history.“ While Mr Albanese has been reluctant to talk about an Australian republic out of respect for the Queen, a Guardian Essential poll published on Tuesday found 43 per cent support

for the constitutional change.

There was also a 50-50 split over whether King Charles III should be Australia’s head of state.

Backing for a republic is higher for men (52 per cent) than women (35 per cent).

Australians got their own chance to pay tribute to the Queen with a public holiday on Thursday 22 September for the national day of remembrance, followed by a parliamentary condolence motion on Friday.

A national memorial service at Parliament House in Canberra involving federal, state and territory leaders and justices of the High Court was the key event on the public holiday.

On Monday night Australian time, the Queen’s body was taken from London’s Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey for the funeral service attended by what has been described as one of the largest gatherings of world leaders.

Queen Elizabeth II was one of the longestreigning monarchs in history, an achievement recognised by the 500 monarchs, heads of state and other leaders who attended the service.

A committal service was held at St George’s Chapel at Windsor after the funeral, before the Queen was buried in a private ceremony alongside her husband Philip, who died last year aged 99.

She was laid to rest in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, where her father, mother and sister are also buried.

In Sydney, mourners filled the pews at St Andrew’s Cathedral to watch a live screening of the funeral following a solemn choral service and 45 minutes of bells ringing.

Assistant minister to the prime minister Patrick Gorman said Australia’s connection with Britain ran deep and the unity expressed following the Queen’s death served as a reminder of those ties.

“What we will see on Thursday when we have the memorial service is more examination and reflection on those deep ties that Queen Elizabeth II had with Australia,“ he told the ABC on Tuesday.

“I was definitely surprised at how emotional I felt watching the service.“ Mr Gorman said republicans and monarchists had been able to unite in their admiration for the Queen’s lifetime of service, while acknowledging some in the community, such as Indigenous Australians, might view the monarchy in a darker light.

“It’s really important those perspectives are shared,“ he said.

“The history of Australia, as we know, didn’t start in 1788 and indeed not all of our history is history of which we can stand proud today.“

The Queen, the King and I

By Phil Jarratt Unlike some of my media colleagues, I never got to exchange pleasantries with the Queen, although I did see her in the flesh (no disrespect) a couple of times when we were both considerably younger.

The first occasion doesn’t even really count as I have no recollection of it, being only twoand-a-half at the time, but on 11 February 1954, the young Queen and her Prince (after whom I had been named by my royalist mum) came cruising past the front gate of our crumbling - but bedecked with Union Jacks – old weatherboard house on the Princes Highway north of Wollongong, NSW, while my mother and two older sisters frantically waved their little flags from behind the paling fence.

Like I said, it doesn’t really count, but I was there, held aloft by my mum as the royals drove by in their plush convertible, and mum always swore that the Queen of England smiled at her little Philip. If that was true, it certainly didn’t turn me into a monarchist, although the next close encounter well might have.

The Queen seemed to have weathered well when we next met, she by now an old hand at the smiling and waving game, and me a fledgling cadet journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald, sent out with a vast tribe of more senior colleagues to perhaps capture a snippet of “colour” during the royal tour of autumn 1970.

I can’t exactly remember the particular occasion – I think it may have been an investiture at Sydney’s Government House – but I clearly remember my great good luck in snaring an aisle seat.

When we all stood as Her Majesty made her stately way down the centre aisle, I recalled the famous words recited by our royalist former prime minister Robert Gordon Menzies: “I did but see her passing by, yet I shall love her till I die.”

I swear she glowed as she passed not more than a couple of metres away. Cynical even at that early stage, I put it down to some sort of trick lighting, or maybe a small torch in her bodice (again, no disrespect) but it was truly amazing.

Here endeth the true story of my personal relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II. And while the day I saw her glow did not result in some sort of evangelical transformation into a monarchist (in fact I was a card-carrying republican for a while) it did create a soft spot in my heart for Her Maj, who, unless you live in a padded cell, you would realise by now was deservedly loved by her subjects around the world.

I also at times felt a little compassion for her

The royals on their way to the ‘Gong, 1954. plight – all that waving and smiling, the wimpy sons, the horsey daughter, the increasingly strange husband, the dramas and disasters of Diana, Andrew and now Meghan.

She remained a stoic figure through it all, and I doubt that any person of goodwill could be anything but saddened by her passing.

And now we have Charles, who used to be considered a fruitcake for his beliefs in organic farming, saving trees, restoring old buildings instead of knocking them down, his only saving grace the good works of his Prince’s Trust.

But now he is completely of the moment, and I hope against hope that his willingness to

Picture: NSW ARCHIVES speak out for his beliefs is not tempered by his new responsibility.

I have but one Charles story.

It was the occasion of the Royal Command Performance of the Russell Crowe film Master and Commander at a Leicester Square theatre in 2003, and somehow I had secured a stalls ticket. That very morning the London tabloids had come out with the most outrageous and tawdry sex scandal front page implicating Charles in some sort of activity that would not have pleased Mama.

It was feared that he and Camilla would not show, but after a 45-minute delay, security

bods started darting around the theatre and an expectant murmur filled the gallery above us.

As the heir to the throne appeared and took his seat, a well-dressed woman sitting in front of me stood and turned to the gallery and shouted, “We love you Charles!” Within moments everyone in the theatre stood and joined in the chorus of reassurance, yes, your correspondent included. Then we remained standing to sing God Save The Queen before the parting of the curtains.

I’m sure most of the people in that theatre still feel the same way. Me, I’ll just wish the new King well.

Paddington plush sales go through the roof When news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death broke, an illustrated picture of her walking hand-in-hand with a recognisable, marmalade sandwich-loving bear began circulating on social media.

Alongside the image were the words, ‘I’ve done my duties Paddington, please take me to my husband’.

Since then, sales of the beloved, red-booted, bucket hat-adorned plush toy have skyrocketed at Aussie Toys Online.

“Paddingtons with little boots are what have been walking out the door,” manager Sarah Thomas said.

“They are always popular at Aussie Toys Online, but we’ve seen an uptick and are selling 10 times more than we’d see in a month.”

In June, The Queen made a surprise appearance in a sketch with Paddington, in commemoration of her 70 years on the throne, known as her Platinum Jubilee.

The clip is titled ‘Marmalade sandwich Your Majesty?’, and features The Queen and Paddington sharing where on their person they keep their delectable, favourite snack.

Ms Thomas said while the company ships Bluey costumes overseas, it was the first time Paddington bears, of all shapes and sizes, were making their way as far as North Carolina in the United States.

“To me, it’s something that we have here in Australia that is still very English,” Ms Thomas said.

She’s a tough act to follow

By Arthur Gorrie History was mostly recorded in black and white - and even then mainly in print - when a young Elizabeth II was formally crowned in 1953, after becoming Queen on the death of her father the year before.

It was a very different world where even valve radios were still seen as marvels of technology.

Australia was still a couple of years away from having widely broadcast television (black and white) in a couple of major cities.

The telephone was anything but mobile and many people did not have a connection, often using public phones, where there were public phones. The Ericson Bakelite telephone was available in any colour (so long as it was black).

The Cold War had only recently begun, following the first (and hopefully last) use of nuclear weapons in war.

Symbolised by the Berliin Wall, the Cold War officially ended with its fall, much later in her reign.

A very different time and yet one which made the present almost inevitable.

Joan Sutherland debuted at Covent Gardens.

Patti Page had a big hit with “How Much is that Doggie in the Window?“ Floods devastated south-eastern Australia, inundating 600 homes.

Qantas began flying between Australia and South Africa, the ANZUS treaty came into being, formalising an alliance involving Australia, the US and New Zealand.

The De Havilland Comet became the world’s first commercial jet aircraft, (and was used by Her Majesty, even though its performance was well short of modern aviation safety standards).

Lang Hancock discovered the world’s largest deposit of iron ore in Western Australia, Robert Menzies was Prime Minister and Vince Gair became Queensland Premier.

The musical film “Singin’ in the Rain“ was huge, the first Chevrolet Corvette prototype was unveiled, Mother Theresa opened a home for the homeless and destitute in Calcutta and, prior to widespread use of the Salk vaccine many thousands of children around the world died or were paralysed by polio.

Ironically, given more recent events, China and Japan ended the Second Sino War with a treaty signed in Taipei.

That eventful two years also saw the births of cricketer Trevor Chappel, future Queensland Labor premier Peter Beattie and his federal Labor nemesis, Peter Garrett, who as federal Environment Minister blocked Mr Beattie’s Traveston Crossing Dam in the Mary Valley.

Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley were about to burst onto the music scene as the expression “rock and roll“ began to come into popular use.

The Beatles and the Rolling Stones came much later, giving America back its music and making so much money they helped preserve the exchange value of the British pound.

The Cold War morphed partly into the space race, ultimately giving the world mobile and satellite phones, satellite mapping and navigation, extreme surveillance and global television and the internet, as well as new weapons of war.

Armed conflict became an almost constant fixture, from Korea to Afghanistan.

The conservation movement received a huge boost after publication of the first photographs of Earth, taken by the first people to walk on the moon. Pictures of our living planet, taken from a dead one, became posters on young people’s walls all over the world and made the cover of The Whole Earth Catalogue, a practical handbook for a confused and sometimes fearful generation.

Perhaps those pictures also influenced the then Prince in developing the conservation and humanitarian values for which he can no longer campaign.

The Second Elizabethan Era saw the Queen win international respect as the “deep keel“ of an empire, stabilising it through rough seas.

She was part of the changes that transformed that empire, still criticised by many (as empires usually are) into the much more benign and racially inclusive British Commonwealth, forging the lasting bonds of sport, commerce and good will that now link nations from Africa to South and Southeast Asia, the Americas and Oceania.

The late Monarch Elizabeth, with her son and successore, King Charles III.

A Parade marking the coronation of Elizabeth II in Mary Street Gympie in 1953.

Now a new era seems set to be just as turbulent, exciting and uncertain as the last.

And the woman who was arguably the best known and most popular person on the planet, has left us.

King Charles III will now step up as Monarch.

It was one encouraging sign that even Vladimir Putin, possibly the most unpopular person in the west at the moment, turns out to be a fan of the late Queen and expressed his sadness at her passing.

In our new age of uncertainty, we can only hope Charles will match his mother’s ability to engender good will all over the world.

Even as Australians consider making our

nation a republic (and some say it must already be one in effect, or we would be charged with treason for even thinking about it) we must hope to remain part of a genuinely friendly Commonwealth of nations.

As the Prince Royal, Charles was sometimes criticised for his conservation beliefs and his exercise of the right of free speech in support of causes he believes in with a passion he does not deny.

Though he can no longer campaign as he did, perhaps his good will to all living creatures will be just the kind of symbol our world needs right now, just as his mother won admiration for her role in defying official advice and standing up to the Nazis, becoming in the process the only female Royal to serve in the Army

and qualify as a truck driver and mechanic.

The era of Charles III will be a different one with different challenges as he embarks on his new career at an age when most would be considering retirement.

There seems to be little enough good will in our emerging new world, in which Charles will do his work.

It is in our interests to support him in spreading some of that good will about, whenever the requirements of his new role allow it.

He has had his ups and downs, as have we all, but we must all now focus on a future full of promise as well as fear.

And we can have that discussion about a republic a bit later on.

Ma’am sends her apologies

By Di Stanley It was the day the Queen couldn’t make it Roma.

Instead, Prince Philip took over solo duties for the town’s first Royal visit as he officiated at the opening of the $7 million tourism showpiece, the Big Rig, in 2002.

“I know there is a real disappointment to you all that the Queen could not be in Roma,” Prince Philip, then 80, told the gathered crowd.

“I send you all her good wishes and apologies.

“She has always had a very special interest in the Outback and was looking forward to being here during the Year of the Outback.”

The Prince sampled the finest of local fare, with barbecued beef fillet and mango cheesecake on the menu, with wines from Romaville Winery.

For some, the disappointment at not seeing the Queen, who died at Balmoral Castle on 8 September aged 96, still lingers, alongside with the sadness at her passing.

Roma and District Family History Society president Maree Worland was at the

Big Rig in 2002.

“I remember the Queen had commitments in Brisbane and Prince Philip came out here in her place,” Mrs Worland said.

“I actually got some souvenirs with the Queen’s face on them in Roma and even though it never actually happened, I thought ‘I’m going to keep that’.

“There will never be another women like her, for 70 years she carried out her duties… what other woman or man worldwide has devoted their life to the job in such a way?

“It has just been a remarkable life, and one that we will never see again.”

Maranoa MP and Leader of the Nationals David Littleproud said Her Majesty was a frequent visitor to regional Australia and had affinity with the determination and spirit of communities.

Rockhampton, Longreach, Mt Isa and Mackay were the Queensland venues to have hosted the Queen during her tours of the Commonwealth.

“Her Majesty was a shining light of great hope and comfort for communities across

regional, rural and remote Australia,” Mr Littleproud said.

“This fondness for regional Australia was reflected in our communities through celebrations such as our Royal Agricultural Shows.

“Entry and participation into these shows has been traditionally a chance to showcase a region’s finest for judging as a prize suitable for the Queen.

“In the midst of regional Australia’s toughest times, Her Majesty provided many messages of support and strength.

“These efforts showed her true kindness, humanity and leadership… that will be sorely missed.”

Warrego MP Ann Leahy paid tribute to a life of “dedication, service, faith and stability”.

“Each of these qualities was conducted with great humility,” Ms Leahy said.

“She loved our country, visiting many times.

“She was a rock to her family, as a mother, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother.

“Memories of Her Majesty hold a special place in our hearts, and she leaves an extraordinary legacy.”

The newspaper of the day, the Western Star, captured Prince Philip’s visit to Roma with the headline Touch of Royalty

Queen’s visit to Rocky The Queen and Prince Philip visited Rockhampton for just under two hours on 15 March, 1954 following a major flood.

The visit helped motivate the city to clean up after the Fitzroy River burst its banks and devastated the community, with flood waters reaching 9.4m on 19 February.

The Queen offered her sympathy to those impacted by flooding, saying in a public address that she had read with concern the accounts of flooding which had recently struck the city and district.

“I send my sympathy to all who have suffered and I hope you will quickly be able to repair the damage,“ she said.

“May you continue to grow in wealth and stature in the years that lie ahead. God bless you all.“ The royal couple were met by Rockhampton Mayor Rex Pilbeam, his wife and Health Minister Bill Moore when they arrived at Rockhampton Airport.

The royal party consisted of Minister in Charge of the Royal Tour Eric Harrison, Queensland Premier Vince Gair and his wife Ellen, Lady Alice Egerton, Michael Adeane, Baron Adeane, Lieutenant-Commander Michael Parker and Wing Commander Michael George Cowan.

On the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the proclamation of King Charles III, Today Group photographer ROB MACCOLL reflected on some of his encounters over the decades and photographic assignments with the Royal Family, known by insiders as The Firm.

Life shooting The Firm My earliest memory of the Queen is as a young kid growing up in Townsville in 1954. I can just remember being pushed to the front of the crowd lining the road and this big black car driving by with a white glove waving from the back seat.

In 1963 I stood with thousands of school kids in the baking sun at the Ekka to get another brief glimpse of the white glove. This time it was in the back of a Landrover Then in 1977 I was working as a cameraman for ABC-TV and filming from the top of a huge scaffold as the Royal yacht Britannia sailed down the Brisbane River accompanied by hundreds of small boats. The ship berthed right in front of my camera and there it was again waving from the deck.

I then moved to Sydney and worked as a stills photographer for the Australian Information Service which was the Federal Government’s media organisation. Part of my job was being an official photographer for visiting Heads of State and for Royal Tours - the Royal Family. An awesome job with travel on VIP jets, five star accommodation and no stopping at traffic lights.

So it was no surprise to see the white glove on several occasions during the ’80s.

Her Majesty was a dream to photograph.

She knew exactly what was needed and would pause and chat and smile. As long as you stayed within the brief: don’t get in the way, no pictures while eating, don’t speak until spoken to, just take a couple of images and never ask for just one more.

I saw the glove several more times when she visited Queensland for CHOGM at Coolum and to meet the victims of the 2011 floods in Brisbane.

I also spent time with Prince Philip when he came out as patron of the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

This was a much more low-key affair with just a few officials travelling with the Prince.

Because I had to sign the Official Secrets Act I can’t say too much, but a good time was had by all and he did enjoy a cold beer on a hot day.

The future King also popped up in front of my camera a few times.

One notable occasion was just before he went off to marry Princess Diana.

He’d been travelling around the country playing polo and was being followed by 30 Fleet St photographers keen to get the first

It was the final day of the tour, the final polo match and the final chukka.

The Pommie snappers had given up and gone to the bar and I was loading film into my camera when I heard a roar, looked up and saw Charles falling off his horse. He wasn’t happy with the picture splashed across page one of all the world’s newspapers and his mum rang him and banned him from riding until after the wedding (so I was told by one of his aides).

I really hope he’s taken over the white glove.

I’d love to see it again.

In 2002 the Queen visited Cairns where she attracted the attention of an Army sniffer dog.

Royal visit a real blessing

By Michael R Williams and Karen Simmons Rosemary Champion from Longway Station shares her fond memories of meeting Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family in Longreach.

Mrs Champion said she felt so blessed to have had Her Majesty and Prince Philip come to Longreach twice during her life.

“I remember as a school girl back in 1954 where hundreds of thousands of us, it seemed had a first glimpse of her at the Sydney showgrounds when I was at boarding school,“ Mrs Champion recalled.

“My father was Mayor of the shire and invited the royal family to Camden Park Station and they came, I believe to Longreach to in the 1970s celebrate the 50th anniversary of Qantas.

“He invited them to come for lunch so 100 people assembled for lunch at Camden Park.

I was living on a property near Bowen at the time with a new baby and came to help with the luncheon. During the time there was a huge drought on.

“It was April and very, very hot. They flew in from Cunnamulla to Longreach and Her Majesty was so ill that all she could have was a cup of tea and a glass of orange juice and we had put don the most lavish lunch, so that was quite devastating.“ Mrs Champion remembered how she introduced her daughter to the Duke of Edinburgh.

“All the children had been ferried away, but after a while, I bought my daughter back over as she was too upset and I took her in my arms and Prince Philip came up to her and said what a beautiful little girl she was and she reached out and touched his arm,“ Mrs Champion said.

“That was a big occasion and nice memory for us.

“My father was Chairman of the Stockman Hall of Fame during the bi-centenary celebrations in 1988 and he invited the Royal family over to celebrate.

“To win the Stockman’s Hall of Fame was enormous for Longreach. It was sited as a bicentenary project and they built it in under three years.

“It was such a busy and stressful day as all the eyes of the world were on us. 250 light aircraft were pulling into Longreach for an air race at the time she was here. It felt like the whole world was coming to Longreach.

“We had the world’s longest cattle drive of 12,000 head of cattle happening as well - it was incredibly dry.“ Another clear memory that stood out for 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 September, 2022

The Queen mixes with the huge crowd at the opening of the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame in Longreach in 1988.

Mrs Champion was of the royal balcony at the Stockmans Hall of Fame.

“One of the stressful things was all the protocol for the Queen. The officials thought we couldn’t run a royal visit so they came a month earlier and they were so persistently annoying.

“When the Queen declared the hall and

outback heritage centre was now open, my father said “Three cheers for the Queen!“ much to the reprimand of the officials.

“And he replied into the microphone “Well, this is my town and I’ll bloody well say what I like.“ This is how we do it in the bush.“ During the 1970s visit of the Royal Family Mrs Champion said she remembers how the

Queen loved animals.

“The Queen just loved livestock and came to Camden park to see our Santas Gertrudis cattle and quarter horses,“ she said.

“The beautiful little outfit she wore was above the knees. She dressed immaculately and was enamoured by our animals - it was an intimate visit.

“A famous quote of hers said something like ’Where on the planet can you stand on open planes with 360 degrees views of the landscape and see nothing manmade?”

“After her visit, she went into town to plant the two famous trees that are now a symbol of longevity.

Mrs Champion believes Charles is going to make a fantastic King.

“What the Queen and her husband have endured living in the goldfish bowl of the paparazzi is just incredible - how you get up every day and face that,” she said.

“Two days before she died she invited the press in when she had failing health. She was there for the people to the end - that is her lasting memory.”

Dan recalls royal hype, community pride

By Michael R Williams As a six-year-old Camden Park Station owner Dan Walker remembers the first time he saw the Queen.

“I was six years of age, I just remember the hype,“ he said.

“Dad’s energy, mum getting us all into a line, me sitting on my sister’s shoulder just trying to get a glimpse.

“The next minute the Queen and my Grandfather were walking straight past us— so we had a pretty great view.“ Mr Walker’s grandfather, former Longreach Mayor Sir James Walker, had been visited by the Queen in their homestead at Camden Park Station, and now he was hosting her at the official opening of the Stockman’s Hall of Fame.

“I fondly remember a photo of my grandmother with Prince Phillip and then the Queen and my Grandfather walking up the steps,“ Dan said.

“I saw the pride in the community.

“The event was 20,000 strong—tent city.

“Looking back on it now, it meant so much to our community.

“It was huge.“ The town ballooned during that year, and the world’s eyes were on Longreach.

“All those people visiting a 3000 population town, why? because of the Australian’ Stockman’s Hall of Fame and those pioneers and graziers behind the story,“ Dan said.

“The community raised over $5 million.“ As a boy, Dan was made by his parents to be as presentable as possible.

“I remember everything had to be spot on, mum and dad were dressed to the nines,“ he said.

“I can remember a glimpse and knowing it was something big.

“We had visitors of course because there was only one hotel in town at that stage.“?

Dan Walker wished the incumbent King the best of luck.

“He’s seen his mum do the job that she’s done as a 25-year-old,“ Dan said.

“He has big shoes to fill, but I think he’ll do a pretty good job.“

On duty at the ceremony Leading Aircraftwoman Carla Russell took part in a ceremonial duty in the United Kingdom for the second time this year when she marched in the funeral procession for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.

“Earlier this year I was fortunate to be a member of Australia’s Federation Guard contingent marching in the Queen’s Jubilee and attending celebrations in the UK,” Leading Aircraftwoman Russell said.

Born and raised in Bundaberg, Leading Aircraftwoman Russell is a Royal Australian Air Force firefighter posted to Australia’s Federation Guard in Canberra.

A number of members of Australia’s Federation Guard have joined other personnel of the Australian Defence Force in London to take part in the royal funeral procession for the late sovereign.

“To return now for such a solemn occasion is quite sad but I am so grateful for the opportunity to join in and pay my respects to the Queen,” said Leading Aircraftwoman Russell, who was part of the Commonwealth contingent marching in the Queen’s funeral procession.

Forty Australian Defence Force personnel joined more than 100 Canadian and New Zealand counterparts marching the three-kilometre route through the streets of London.

About 2000 military personnel from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth were at the event.

“My family are very proud of my service and especially the role I have played in honouring and remembering Her Majesty the Queen.

This is a duty I will never forget,” Leading Aircraftwoman Russell said.

Birthday privilege: Lyn Truss had the chance to tell Prince Charles about their shared birthdate at another farewell, watched by now-Energy Minister Chris Bowen, in 2015.

Lyn and Warren Truss, with then Prime Minister John Howard, farewell the Queen in 2000.

MP ‘saw her passing by’

By Arthur Gorrie The Wide Bay schoolboy who would later become Deputy Prime Minister remembers the long drive to Toowoomba, in 1954, to see the Queen.

Warren Truss was six years old and the road, now highway standard, was at least half dirt and notably long and winding.

Now retired at Hervey Bay, he still vividly recalls the drive from his family’s Kumbia farm, near Kingaroy, to Toowoomba.

It was their big chance to see the Queen,

even if they did “but see her passing by.”

They stood in a crowd just outside the city centre for the first visit to Australia by the new monarch.

“We stood on a street corner where she was going to go past. She came around the corner and she waved…and that was it.

“It was all over in a few seconds,” he said on Monday.

Although the Truss family thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime event, Mr Truss’s life in politics, rising from the back bench as Wide

Bay MP to Deputy Prime Minister, meant he would meet her several more times.

More than 50 years later he farewelled Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip, as they flew out from Canberra airport.

That was one of several meetings over many years, much of it a long trime ago, during the longest reign by any British monarch.

“You have to be as old as I am to have had any other monarch,” he said.

He said the reign of King Charles would be a challenging time.

God save the Queen FOOD FOR THOUGHT TOM MARLAND

Glen Gilmore and Prince Harry sharing a moment.

Gilmore reflects on his time with royals

By Clancy Nugent Ipswich Grammar old boy Glen Gilmore came from humble beginnings in Queensland’s west, however, found himself rubbing shoulders with the new King.

Gilmore was always a keen polo player, learning from his father and perfecting the sport while living in his home town of Allora.

It was only when Kerry Packer approached his father to play polo for him at a property near Scone that doors really started to open for Gilmore.

Gilmore’s father was hesitant to take the job, however, took it under the condition that both his son and daughter’s schooling would be paid for, leading to Gilmore attending Ipswich Grammar in years 11 and 12.

From there, he completed a course in real estate evaluation at Gatton, but his love for polo was still his dream, and he was purchased from teams across the world to compete at numerous events.

Many summers in England saw Gilmore play the elite sport with many of the royal family, including the new King Charles III, as well as his sons Prince William and Harry.

He also got to meet the Queen on numerous occasions and only spoke fondly of his time with the royals.

“While I was in England, we won a lot of tournaments that the Queen presented the trophy for, or Prince Charles if the Queen was not available,” Gilmore said.

“I did a lot of commentating over there at the Royal Club and we got to meet the Queen and Prince Charles quite a few times.

“It has been an amazing journey starting in the Darling Downs, going via Ipswich Grammar then over to England.

“Prince William is more of a reserved kind of guy, he takes his time whereas Prince Harry is full on and he just wants to win everything he plays at.

“Prince Charles was the first royal I got to play with, my wife actually worked for him and I got to meet him playing some royal charity days.

“They get such a hard deal from the media but I found Prince Charles to be the most charming man, a lovely guy to deal with, very down to earth and you could have a laugh with him.

“What I could not fathom about them is the amount of small talk they had to do, but when you spoke to the Queen, you really felt like she was engaged talking to you.

“She was such a nice lady, she could have a laugh, she could have a giggle and you could talk to her about horses.

36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 September, 2022

Gilmore was in demand from teams across the globe.

Gilmore and the Australian team being presented a trophy by Queen Elizabeth.

“She loved her horses and we could chat about that.

“Every time I had something to do with her, she was genuine, easy to talk to and just a lovely lady with a great way about her,” he said.

Gilmore said he was excited to see what Charles could do in his role as King.

“He is just a truly genuine person and I think he will do an unbelievable job,” Gilmore said.

“He gets it, their life is around serving. It is just what they do and he has done it so well as

the Prince of Wales.

“I am really sad the Queen has died because I thought she was an unbelievable monarch but I am really happy he gets his chance,” he said.

Gilmore said he had no idea a life of polo would take him across the world, meeting the world’s most elite and playing in some of the most amazing places on earth.

The 51 year old has given everything he had to the sport, and the sport has given a whole lot back.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II has led to an outpouring of grief and gratitude by millions of people around the world. At the age of 96 and after a 70year reign – the news of her loss still came as a shock.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II is not only the end of the longest reign of any British monarch but a book end to one of the greatest periods in human history.

We may never see again a leader like our Queen. Her quiet assurance and long-term commitment to public service, self-sacrifice and decency is sadly a thing of the past.

In our modern world where so called “leaders” come and go in quick succession - longevity and tradition is now a long-lost dream. We now live in a time where we are free to question the very traditions and institutions which have provided us with those freedoms.

Some now think that our history is something to be ashamed of or that it can simply be re-written to suit modern fleeting agendas without any recognition of the hard work and sacrifices that have given us that opportunity.

Some think that our Monarchy and their institutions are outdated and out of touch. But those same people have never known the security of anything else.

I wasn’t surprised that on the news of our Queen’s passing – some opportunistic politicians and commentators would use the platform for their own pithy and self-serving agendas.

Peter FitzSimons - the Chair of the Australian Republican Movement (who is the best thing that has ever happened to the Monarchy in Australia) could only keep his ego in check for a few hours before tweeting that the “Queen backed Australia becoming a Republic”.

The leader of the Australian Greens party, Adam Brandt, could also only keep his manners in for a few hours before tweeting that Australia “now needs to move forward”. Its an interesting statement coming from a party that only wants to take the country backwards.

Anthony Albanese, a staunch republican, kept his powder dry by stating that “now is not the time to talk about a Republic”.

He wasn’t so circumspect on the 26th of November 2019 when he spoke at the Australian Republican Dinner where he openly mocked the Monarchy.

The speech still sits proudly on his own personal website. In a quote that would make Mandela, Churchill or Kennedy blush – Albo argued that Australia needs to become a Republic because: “What if Britain were conquered by an alien invasion? Would the space overlord also be our head of state?”

One of the first steps taken by Anthony Albanese after being elected Prime Minister was to appoint the first ever Assistant Minister for the Republic to progress the country’s conversion from a Monarchy to a Republic.

The Albanese Government intends to progress a referendum on a Republic in their second term after their Voice to Parliament referendum tears the country apart in their first term.

I agree that now is not the time to have a debate about our future head of state but a time to pay tribute to our Queen.

But once the celebrations are over – there will be many ready to attack the foundations of our nation and the very institutions which have provided us with the platform to do so.

Jazz rings through College Good vibes, great music, delicious food and fun.

All of these were on the program at the very popular annual Jazz under the Stars night at Good Shepherd Lutheran College.

One of the College’s favourite event on the calendar, this free jazz night showcased bands of all ages together with special guest artists.

The backdrop is the outdoor stage on College grounds under a (usually) starry sky.

Good Shepherd’s instrumental music director Jim Tomkins said it was an amazing opportunity for their students to perform in front of a large crowd, together with some of the best jazz players on the Coast.

With more than 37 musicians in the youngest Year 4 band, it was their moment to shine, with dedicated parents eager to capture the

moment on camera.

The junior and senior jazz bands, together with Year 12 soloist, Cayley Berridge all performed exceptionally well to an enthusiastic crowd of families and friends.

Aurora choir supported the GSLC Jazz Band as back up singers and Allie Littman (Year 10) and Cayley (Year 12) happily took on the challenge and stepped up to the microphone.

Headlining the night was the popular band THUMP, playing a mixture of jazz, funk and soul.

“With a jam-packed, three-hour long entertaining program, it was fabulous to see so many families come together and just enjoy live music, dance up a storm and applaud the hard work of these wonderful students. We can’t wait for next year,” Mr Tomkins said.

The younger students thoroughly enjoyed the festivities throughout the three hour program.

Even the threatening sky couldn’t damped the enthusiasm of the crowd or performers.

The stunning evening created a fabulous atmosphere.

The Senior Jazz Band relished the opportunity to play with such amazing talent as is found in THUMP.

Parents were eager to capture the eagerly anticipated performance of the Year 4 Band.

The Junior Jazz Band enjoyed being able to display their skills too.

dust problems in the area, plus it seeks their thoughts on the best way to address community concerns.

Mayor Clare Stewart said residents were best placed to describe the environment, noise impacts and other amenity issues which relate directly to the quarry’s truck movements.Kin Kin Community Group president Jan Bonsall said depression and anger were rife in the community because of the impact of the trucks.

“It’s ruined paradise,” she said. The majority of us went to live in Kin Kin to get out of

suburbia. We didn’t go there to have it inflicted upon us. If you think of 200 trucks a day, that’s fairly disruptive. It’s not consistent with the idyllic life you want to take up.”

Ms Bonsall recalled a recent incident where a mother taking her young children to school over the range was forced to swerve over to the edge of the road when she met a truck on a corner. “She’s terrified,” she said.

Ms Bonsall said the community was appreciative of the effort being put in by council and Ms Bolton.

Applause for maestro King A 600-strong audience was treated to a grand concert at the weekend by the combined forces of the three musical groups led by retiring maestro Adrian King - the Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra, Noosa Chorale, and the Sunshine Coast Choral Society.

Following masterful orchestral performances of Gershwin’s An American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue with piano soloist Theo Pike, the orchestra and choirs, including children from the Sunshine Beach State School, almost brought down the roof of the hall at St Andrew’s Anglican College Peregian Springs with their passionate and powerful performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Adrian King will retire at the end of the year, after conducting all three groups in their final performances of the year leading up to Christmas.

Time to talk climate Another major rain/ flooding catastrophe is to eventuate over the east coast this year - the third, unprecedented, 1-in-100 years climate event for 2022. With all the mansplaining going on, is now the time to talk about global warming? Just asking.

Ern shows true grit Congratulations to Mr Ern Jackson on his 100th birthday. Also, reading about his past adventures was an eye-opener for me.

Albo should have allowed him to join the group he’s taken with him to the UK to truly represent and show what true grit and courage is.

He walked across England at 84. Conquered the Kakoda Trail at 85. Jumped out of an aeroplane at 95.

Climate change and what the weather is going to be tomorrow hasn’t held Ern back.

To recieve one of the last letters from the Queen for his 100th birthday was truly one of the best and most deserved congratulations anyone could hope for.

If I make it to my 100th in 16 years time, I am seriously considering getting either Prince William or at a push Queens Consort Camilla to write and sign one for me.

The Humpback Highway is busy again. Paul Francis took this shot last week off Sunshine Beach on a trip with Noosa Wave. “Both adults and calves were relishing the conditions and were breaching spectacularly much to the delight of all on board,” he said. If you have a Lenscape please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

King Charles is having enough problems with pens and ink wells at 73.

The mind boggles thinking of how he will handle them in 16 years time and what the wording will be if he writes what he’s thinking.

Maybe the 1981 Warwick Farm Polo match when he fell off his horse has left a long lasting affect on him.

Sea level unchanged Prior to my visit to Noosa over the last two weeks, I had not visited the area for over 50 years. While there were many changes from my fond young adult memories, there was one quite significant thing that had not changed.

Can you guess what it was? No? It was sea level. Over the 34-year history of global warming alarmism we’ve been warned repeatedly that it is causing dramatic sea-level rise. But it

isn’t. That is self-evident.

Water doesn’t lie – if the Arctic ice cap was melting, the sea-level would be rising. So why isn’t it? Let me put this in the simplest terms I can.

Water vapour is the major greenhouse gas, and it leaves few gaps in the infrared spectrum for other gases to have any effect at all.

CO2 mainly absorbs outgoing longwave infrared radiation (heat) as photons at the 14.8 microns wavelength. (Planck’s Law) The temperature of absorption at 14.8 microns is -80 degrees Celsius. (Wien’s Displacement Law and Kirchhoff’s Law of Thermal Radiation) Minus 80 degrees Celsius is 95 degrees lower than average surface temperature and is found in the lower stratosphere, well above the troposphere where we live.

Heat doesn’t flow from cold zones to hotter zones. (Second Law of Thermodynamics) CO2 cannot trap heat. It merely delays outgoing infrared photons for a billionth of a second so high up in the atmosphere it’s irrelevant. It releases them at a less energetic frequency, and they continue on to outer space.

Atmospheric CO2 is contingent upon seawater temperature. The hotter equatorial water is, the more CO2 it releases. Cold Arctic and Antarctic waters reabsorb it. (Henry’s Law) Repeatedly asserting something to be true does not make it true. If it did, all our low-lying coastal towns would have been flooding at each high tide for 12 years now.

Climate alarmists don’t follow science – they are anti-scientific cultists.

Jennifer Short, Edge Hill

Bounce launches EV bus Bounce Noosa continues to set the standard for sustainable practices with the addition of an electric shuttle service for guests.

From the beach and buzz of Hastings Street and Noosa Junction to the lush rainforests and impressive waterfalls of the Hinterland, exploring the sights of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve can now be achieved with zero tailpipe emissions, thanks to the Joylong E6, the first of its generation to hit the streets of Queensland.

“We are delighted to have been able to deliver Queensland’s first electric minibus to the team at Bounce Noosa,” said Pete White, company director of Bus Stop.

In just a four-hour window, the 86.1kWh liquid-cooled battery is charged to capacity in house, providing 300km of emission free travel for up to 12 guests at a time.

Featuring a 37.26kW solar system, Bounce Noosa has an estimated annual production of 59.967MWh. Providing a clean and sustainable travel option for close to 30,000 travellers per year, the Bounce Noosa shuttle service is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 16.7 tonne per annum.

“Congratulations to Bounce Noosa for introducing their emissions free shuttle service, a great step towards helping to reduce the 33 per cent of Noosa region’s transport emissions”, said Anne Kennedy, chair of Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. “It’s a great example of how local tourism businesses are doing their bit to help to reach the Noosa region target of net zero greenhouse gases by 2026.”

Bounce Noosa is an award-winning boutique resort providing a unique combination of deluxe hotel suites and premium shared rooms ideally suited to groups, couples and solo travelers.

Located one block back from the Noosa River foreshore, the property was designed and constructed with the natural environment and energy efficiency front of mind. With cross ventilation orientation, the beach-club style resort utilises the natural environment to minimise the energy needed for heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting year round.

The Bounce EV shuttle ready for action.

“We began researching this EV over 18 months ago, before it was even available in Australia.

“It is here now, and we are pleased to provide shuttle services for our guests,“ explained Mark Baldwin, director of Bounce Noosa.

“As a local owner operator with a young team servicing predominantly the youth market, the commitment to sustainable practices is crucial.

“We live and breathe it, so much so that we are always in search of what else we can be doing to better ourselves in this space.

“We are very lucky to have our general man-

Picture: SUPPLIED ager, Kerry Anderson, championing our sustainable journey. “With a genuine passion for waste-free sustainable living, Kerry does not accept anything less than the best sustainable practices which is so valuable to our brand.”

Bounce Noosa continues to achieve Plastic Free Noosa Champion status.

From paper-free operations, refillable milk bottles, waste sorting and recycling to an onsite mini orchard available to guests seeking fresh fruit and ingredients to use in the bar and kitchen and alternatives to single-use plastics are just some of the environmentally-friendly initiatives in place at Bounce Noosa.

“The extensive sustainable efforts of Mark

and his team are commendable, particularly the elimination of 66,000 single-use amenity bottles and wrappers from circulation as a result of the refillable amenity strategy at Bounce Noosa - that’s just in the first 10 months of operation,” said Juanita Terry-Bloomfield, head of tourism sustainability and program design.

Sustainable travel is no longer the ambition of a few but of many.

Bounce Noosa continues to provide the perfect getaway for those seeking beach-club vibes without leaving significant environmental footprints when on holiday.

Bumper crop of scarecrows Mary Valley visitors have laughed and gazed in awe at some of the ingenious and humorous creatures that have graced roads and paddocks in the 2022 scarecrow festival.

From a simple black crow in front of the Imbil Post Office to Nelson Corbet’s Stair Crow which towers over the hills on the Imbil-Kandanga Road, there is something for everyone in the annual festival which runs to 3 October.

Organiser Heinke Butt, from Mary Valley Artslink, estimated 80 scarecrows had popped up in the valley in one of the best showings in years.

Overall winners were judged across four categories: Child 5-15 years – Humpty Dumpty Smarty Pants by the Imbil Early Learning Centre; traditional – Emma Moor and Ken Danga, from Rose Berry at Amamoor Homestead on Kandanga Amamoor Rd; artistic – Nitro Nigel from the Fitzgerald family, Yabba Creek Rd near Borumba Dam. The fourth and newest category, Pro Crow, presented a quandary for the judges, who could not split the vote between Marg, by Agnew Terve on Ray Meyers Rd near Imbil, and the Stair Crow on Imbil- Kandanga Rd. The category called for a larger-than-life crow made from scrap metal or other recycled materials, oversized and original, and came with prize money of $500.

If you haven’t taken a drive to see them yet, download the Google map from the website at maryvalleyartslink.com.au/mary-valleyscarecrow-festival/ and head to the Mary Valley to go scarecrow spotting!

But be quick, the ‘crows know when they have outstayed their welcome and will head for the hills in October.

The festival began in Maleny and has been held during spring almost every year since the late ‘90s. It is one of two festivals – the other is the Mary Valley Art Festival - hosted by the community group Mary Valley Artslink.

Judges could not decide between Marg by Agnes Terve and the Stair Crow by Nelson Corbet, giving them joint claim to the Mary Valley Pro Crow title.

New podcast celebrates life of Kathleen McArthur The legacy of Kathleen McArthur, an artist, author, environmentalist and activist whose life blossomed on the Sunshine Coast, has been captured in a new podcast series by Sunshine Coast Libraries.

Supported by the State Library of Queensland, Sunshine Coast Libraries has produced a 22-episode podcast series based on the Kathleen McArthur’s Lunch Hour Theatre Scripts Collection.

Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said the Lunch Hour Theatre scripts was an impressive volume of work with significance to the nation as well as the history of the Sunshine Coast.

“The preservation and digitalisation of more than 200 scripts provides a unique and unrivalled platform to showcase stories of local and national historic significance,” Cr Law said.

“The Lunch Hour Theatre Scripts series ran for more than 20 years with the vision to broaden the public’s knowledge of environmental, biographical and historical subjects.

“Many of the scripts focused on local and regional issues and provide an archive of historically significant portrayal of events, people and places.

“Thanks to the Sunshine Coast Heritage Library team, we can continue to learn about our region’s history through an innovative medium.”

Kathleen was born in Brisbane in 1915 to mother Catherine Durack, of the pioneer pastoral family, and father Colonel Dan Evans, a co-founder of the engineering firm Evans Deakin.

Her family regularly visited the Sunshine Coast region in her early life and she spent most of her adult life as a protector of SouthEast Queensland’s waterways, beaches, wildlife, flora and landscape.

Kathleen moved to Caloundra during World War II where she stayed with her three children.

During this time, she grew and established her native shrubs and trees while raising her family.

Podcast voice actors Martin Harding, Patricia Coles, Joy Marshall and Producer James Russell.

In 1959, Queensland’s centenary year, she published her first book, Queensland Wildflowers – a selection which won the Australian publishers’ prize at the Adelaide Festival of Arts.

Kathleen, an environmentalist, was a founding member of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland which began in 1962.

With her passionate commitment, meticulous research and articulate advocacy she contributed to preserving many threatened areas of the region.

A large volume of Kathleen’s work was evidenced in her ephemeral activities such as grassroots environment actions, letters and articles in newspapers and the weekly performance of the Lunch Hour Theatre which she initiated in Caloundra in the mid-1970s.

The Kathleen McArthur’s Lunch Hour Theatre Scripts podcast’s first episode features a performance titled Bread and Dripping Days originally presented to assist the

Landsborough Girl Guides raise funds for facility toilets.

The play was an enormous success with Jacaranda Press publishing the script as a booklet together with photos and drawings.

The booklet achieved best seller status and earned the Landsborough Girl Guides more than $2,000.

Kathleen was posthumously named Sunshine Coast’s Citizen of the Century in 2002.

A gifted wildflower artist and author, her books are available at Sunshine Coast Libraries.

Sunshine Coast Libraries thanks Kathleen McArthur’s son Hugh McArthur for donating the Lunch Hour Theatre Scripts collection to the Heritage Library.

The podcast is now available to download for free from Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Sunshine Coast Libraries website and other podcast platforms.

Park Sounds is returning Put Sunday 25 September in your diary for the next Park Sounds event.

The music magic will be happening from 1-4pm with another great local line-up featuring Dan Horne, Lizzy Lamborn and Tobias Band. Pack your picnic rug and chairs for this fabulous family-friendly afternoon of free live music in Dick Caplick Park, right in the centre of town Eumundi.

Dan Horne is a foot stompin’ folk infused blues and roots multi-instrumentalist – a oneman-band who plays a mesmerising blend of foot drums, harmonica and multiple guitars.

He began his music career in 2014 performing on the streets, busking and travelling, and quickly became a must-see act in the live music scene, rigorously touring and playing music festivals across the country.

In 2020 Dan won the Eumundi’s Pretty Good Song Competition, earning himself a hefty $10k prize money. Dan is now working on his 2022 EP Brighter Days – a soundtrack of delta blues, filled with slide guitar, gospel melodies and roaring harmonica that is due for release in October.

Singer songwriter Lizzy Lamborn has an impressive vocal range and a captivatingly sweet sound.

Her thought-provoking lyrics and beautiful melodies are complemented by earthy guitar rhythms, resulting in the distinctive grungy, indie-folk style that gives her songs such a unique and compelling flavour.

Lizzy’s music is quirky, gritty, playful and raw and has both a sweetness and an edge to it that are held beautifully in tension, creating a memorable and inspiring experience for her audience.

Soulful. Engaging. Enigmatic.

Indie/folk pop artist Tobias has been described as Beck meets Paul Kelly meets War On Drugs. After two decades performing on the

Known for his exceptional breadth, craftsmanship and songwriting ability, Tobias comes to life in his live performances with his band.

Catch Tobias at Eumundi.

His single When The Sun Come Up Again became AMRAP #1 in Australia in 2017. Prior to Covid, Tobias had toured for the past five years living on the road building audiences around Australia, performing at festivals and organising drought relief concerts in towns throughout Western Queensland. He recently

returned to the Sunshine Coast hinterland and is now focused on writing and recording a new album set for release in late 2022.

Park Sounds is an initiative of the team at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi and takes place on the last Sunday of the month. It is an alcohol-free event.

German Lieder to Celtic song on program Together with pianist Janet Brewer, mezzo soprano Hilary O’Neill is delighted to present a diverse programme of music, ranging from German Lieder through to Celtic song.

Her repertoire of German Lieder will include works by Schubert, Brahms, Wolf, Strauss and Weill, reflecting some of the greatest compositions from the early-to-late Romantic era.

“That she was able to characterise such towering romantic portraits as Schubert’s Der Zwerg and Brahms’ Von ewiger Liebe as effectively as she did was a tribute to O’Neill’s strong ties with her audience, her demonstrable love of music and her fine voice“ - The Adelaide Advertiser wrote in its review.

In the second part of the program, Hilary

accompanies herself on harp as she delivers heart-rending renditions of songs from her native homeland, Ireland.

Embellished by her trademark Irish humour, she paints word pictures and tells original stories relating to each song. Janet will also accompany Hilary on flute for several songs.

A concert artist of many years, Hilary O’Neill returned from her last European tour in December 2019.

Unable to perform in public due to the pandemic, she used the lockdown to write a book about her years of touring. Titled Travels with my Harp, this travelogue-memoir details many of her most amusing experiences travelling and performing throughout Germany

and Switzerland. The book also includes many historic references and observations. Copies of the book will be available at the concerts.

“Hilary O’Neill is a skilled and accomplished singer and harpist with a great appetite for life. She sweeps you up in her impulsiveness... it’s full of gritty reality and she tells it all with humour and open mindedness, including the ups and downs, the discomforts and triumphs,“ arts reviewer Cathrine Cox said.

The concert will be performed on Saturday 1 October at 3pm at Cooran Hall, Cooran and Sunday 2 October at 3pm at Good Shepherd Hall, Noosaville.

Ron’s focus was furniture work whilst Cathie was involved in basketry and finer work.

They had previously purchased land in Tanawha and once they sold their business, relocated to the Sunshine Coast.

Ron soon realised that he had to occupy himself and when he found a piece of deadfall in the bush, he decided to make a basket and, before he knew it, his artistic flair blossomed and amazing creative baskets and artwork was created.

Together Ron and Cathie take pleasure in using traditional materials and methods to make contemporary baskets, experimenting with colours, texture and form.

Jules McCrae describes herself as a functional artist.

William Van Berkel is an award-winning photographer.

Spending most of her working life in the arts, she encountered many opportunities to learn various skills.

Working alongside her husband, Jules gained love for turning cold metal into warm, flowing, functional pieces and often combines rigid material with fabrics and various other fibre materials.

Jules took the next step to incorporate in her creative career - silver smithing - some of her silver jewellery pieces will be debuting at this exhibition.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Holidays on the horizon With school holidays in full swing you can expect to f ind things a little busier on the water and around the ramps.

With the fishing staying consistent, these spring holidays should see some opportunities to head out and enjoy a great day on the water.

With the winds have been everything from light to variable and 20 knots plus but those who watched the weather made most of the conditions at hand.

Out wide continues to be popular for the jiggers and those hunting big fish.

We can expect to see water temperatures start to rise and as such those after trophy snapper will find the Hards and the Banks the more popular options. In the 30-40km plus range from shore amberjack, jewfish, longtail tuna, pearl perch and cobia are holding on various wrecks and reef patches. These fish love soft plastics on 1oz-1/2oz jig heads and 40lb leader. Always ensure your plastic has plenty of free fall time and doesn’t sink like a stone when working it. This ensures you will get smashed on the drop. Check out the new range of Bite Science jerk minnows and get your fish on!

In closer the continued run of smaller snapper and pearl perch is keeping anglers busy with light gear and small baits.

Cobia have been picking up floated pilchards in the lighter currents and will always give a great fight. The bar crossing is the best it’s been in a long time with bigger boats making the trip in all conditions.

With the drop in swell the surf fishing has been getting better. Tailor are still present and best taken on 5/0 gang hooks and whole pilchards around the river mouth and middle

rock groyne. Fishing after dark is also a productive time and with the neap times approaching you should find better weather and less run in the current.

With the warmer weather making its presence felt we can certainly expect to see fish becoming more active. With air temps hitting high 20s and winds coming from the north you can expect to see mangrove jack anglers getting excited. These predatory fish are now a deep shade of red and have changed from their winter silver colours and ready to fight. You can come in and grab a cast net and try live bait or pick up a pack of Keitech Easy shiner 3 or 4inch soft plastics and try casting the edges or head up between the lakes and cast deep in the snags with a weedless hook. No matter your method we can certainly help you out.

For other anglers the bread-and-butter fish of trevally, bream, whiting and flathead are all on offer. Be sure to fish around the turn of the tides in the river and find your favorite drop off away from heavy boat traffic. Drifting light weighted pilchard, prawn and whitebait in the current will see you hooked up. You need to keep your running sinkers to size 2 or less so your bait looks natural.

If you need help with rigging be sure to pop in and ask us how, especially if you are new to fishing the Noosa River these school holidays.

Now for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up-to-date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and remember Tight Lines and Bent Spines!

Big smiles for children Smile for a Child Foundation reached a momentous milestone this year when it held its annual golf day last Friday at Noosa Golf Club with a full playing field of 160 golfers (40 teams of four) who enjoyed a great day of golf and raised an astounding $45,000 to help sick and disadvantaged kids.

This year’s contributions take the event’s total to an incredible $500,00 since is started 14 years ago.

In 2007 Glenn Puck Puckeridge took the idea of combining forces to contribute to the community to the managers of the Noosa Combined Clubs and now there are six clubs involved, Sunshine Beach and Noosa Heads surf clubs, Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, Tewantin-Noosa and Cooroy RSL and Noosa Golf Club.

The clubs and Smile for a Child patrons Evonne Goolagong Cawley and Roger Cawley and Michael O’Connor convene to determine where the money will be allocated.

The event is driven by Puck and his offsider

Little Jo Power along with help from 12-16 volunteers.

Puck thanked everyone for their continued support including Evonne and Roger, Michael O’Connor, Alan Harris, Tony and Tamara Giles, Anton Mogg, the Noosa Golf Club committee and their major sponsors.

“It’s for the kids … we wouldn’t have achieved what we have today without them,” he said.

The initiative raises funds for sick children, families and organisations such as Sunshine Butterflies, Starlight Foundation, Kids Foundation and local individuals that may be in need of intense medical care.

Apart from the named clubs, there is also the individual major sponsors, such as Tony Haack Sharp Sunshine Coast, Tony and Linda Jedynak Hotel Laguna, Paul Mitchel Bella Casa, Munna Beach Apartments and Andari Apartments. Their sponsorship regarding accommodation is and has been a major factor for years and food, drinks and restaurant prizes are also donated.

World is Chloe’s stage A local young athlete at seven years of age dreamed of one day being on the world stage to show her athleticism and abilities to others.

That world stage is now a reality for Chloe Douglas who trains at Champs Sports Aerobics Club.

Club manager Deidre Bryant said they had teams compete at World Championships previously, but Chloe’s selection was a first for the club, being the first individual athlete to have achieved at this level.

Chloe, 13, from Tewantin, has been selected to represent Australia in the Junior International Individual Female Division at the upcoming 2022 FISAF World Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic in November.

She is very keen to travel and compete. She has consistently placed at competitions this year and, only a month ago, achieved national champion standing for the second consecutive year, at the 2022 Schoolaerobics National Championships with the highest score of the competition in the Junior Elite section.

Chloe’s dreams and goals came true when she represented Australia last year at the FISAF International World Online Championships in December. She placed ninth in the world at this event.

“So for our world representative, training continues over the holidays, after a very short break to give her body a rest,“ Bryant said.

“She’s extremely dedicated, and rarely complains about long training sessions.

“She trusts the process. In the coming couple of years, we hope she’ll be selected on more Australian teams.

“Chloe trains four times per week, and this term gave up her other passion - dance - to concentrate on this sport. But schoolwork is not neglected and there’s no pressure on her.

She loves what she does.“ Sian, 15, also from Tewantin, received the silver medal at the 2022 Schoolaerobics National Championships in the Senior Elite section.

The club had 100 per cent participation at the National Championships this year and all athletes did their best.

Sophia, 18, is 2022 FISAF Adult Novice National Champion for the second consecutive year.

She achieved this along with university studies and a part-time job.

The club had 100 per cent participation at the national championships this year and all athletes did their best.

“The above results are amazing achievements for our small regional club,“ Bryant said.

“The girls are certainly batting above average as there are many clubs around Australia with many more athletes and access to other coaches.

“With Chloe’s participation at World Championships, it is our club’s fifth representation at this ultimate event.“

Winner and runner-up of Division 2 Golf Croquet Club Championship – Ed and Cher Boyd.

The Champs Sports Aerobics Club girls are certainly batting above average.

The winning Plate Golf Croquet team for 2022.

Croquet Plate team ends season winning top honours

By Colin Hindson The latest and most exciting bit of news is that our Plate team (the newer, higher handicap players) has finished its season and has, by the smallest of margins of one game, emerged in first place.

The team had been a match behind Bribie and behind by two games, but their 7 – 3 win against Caloundra on Monday 29 August brought them to even on matches and one game ahead of Bribie.

William Godsall had three wins and Teresa Martin and Susie Locke had two wins each.

Lorry Ryan is to be congratulated on her leadership of the team throughout the year, as well as for organising the results and recording of the whole competition – not an easy job.

Well done to Lorry and all the Plate players. Looks good for the future especially with some of those newer players waiting their chance as well.

The Pennant team (low handicappers) has now finished its season.

It also did well, finishing second on the ladder to Headland-Buderim. Headland is a strong team, and it is no shame to go down to them. ome newer faces there will help in 2022. Galina Makarova has been the standout player for the year here, being very consistent, winning a few prizes along the way.

The Shield team (medium handicaps) also finished the interclub year in second place to Bribie Island despite a good finish but only by one match and a few games. Their game on 22 August was a win against Headland-

Buderim 6 games to 4 with Richard Bawden winning three of his games and Julie Terry winning two. On 5 September they had a bad day against Caloundra, going down 6 games to 4. Sally Stopps and Cher Boyd managed two wins each, in the singeis and the doubles. However on 12th September they redeemed themselves, beating Coolum 10 - 0, a very good win. On 19 September, the Shield team played its final game for the year against Nambour, which it won 8 games to 2. Once again. Cher Boyd and James Martin played well, winning 3 games each. So despite the strong finish to the year, the team had to be satisfied with its second place. Well done to everybody.

Internal club championships are continuing.

The Jan van der Linden Golf Trophy has been

fiercely contested, with results as follows: Div 1. Winner – Galina Makarova. Runnerup. Sheridan Stopps.

Div 2. Winner – Lorry Ryan. Runner-up – Charlie Younger Div 2. Doubles Winners – Cher Boyd and Lois King. Runners-up – Teresa and James Martin.

In Association Croquet Galina Makarova also had a good win in the Nambour Swiss event (entries from a number of clubs and top players) during August – well done Galina.

The Club Championships are also running.

One result to date – the Division 2 Golf Trophy – won by Ed Boyd with runner-up being Cher Boyd. A real family feud.

Mackerel measures ’disastrous’: conservationists

By Donna Jones The Queensland Government has announced new fishing management arrangements for Spanish mackerel.

The measures will be introduced from October this year, which the government said would help to “restore depleted stocks and protect good jobs in the fishing industry for generations to come“.

However, the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) said the move would be “disastrous“ and more needed to be done to protect vulnerable species.

The Department of Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries plans to implement two three-week closed seasons in waters off the state’s north starting in October 2022, and two three-week closed seasons in southern waters starting in February 2023.

Commercial fishers will have a reduced Total Allowable Catch each year starting next July, while recreational fishing for Spanish mackerel will be permitted the other 46 weeks of the year with a bag limit of one per person or two per boat.

Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Minister and Rural Communities Minister Mark Furner said the new arrangements would give certainty to commercial, charter and recreational fisheries while striking a balance between rebuilding stocks and allowing better controlled access for fishers.

“Based on extensive feedback and expert scientific advice, we will use a combination of measures to ensure more fish are left in the water each and every year,” Mr Furner said.

But the AMCS said the decision to put in place Great Barrier Reef spawning closures for Spanish mackerel fishing for just six weeks of the season was not science-based and would be disastrous for the depleted stock.

The government release said more than 780 submissions were received during the second round of consultation and nearly 70 per cent of respondents preferred Option 1 rather than Option 2, which included fishery closures of up to 12 weeks.

Mr Furner thanked the 780-plus submitters to the second and final discussion paper, including working group members, industry bodies, recreational fishers and other stakeholders that provided valuable input.

“We support a sustainable Queensland fishing sector, which is why we have spent much of the past year consulting with com56 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 September, 2022

The Australian Marine Conservation Society says measures put in place to protect Spanish Mackerel are ‘disastrous’. mercial, recreational and charter fishers,” he said.

“Spanish mackerel are key part of a healthy marine ecosystem, and a large part of the fishery operates in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

“With the most recent stock assessments showing Spanish mackerel stocks had fallen to just 17 per cent, doing nothing was not an option.

“These carefully-considered new management actions are not a set and forget approach— Spanish Mackerel stocks will continue to be monitored annually through a combination of measures including catch rates and stock assessments using the most up to date data.

“In addition, the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation is supporting a new three-year Spanish mackerel research project, which will be led by researchers from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.

“The project will focus on the impact of shark depredation and environmental influences on the fishery, exploring the application of emerging genetic approaches for estimating stock abundance using the closekin-mark-recapture method, estimating post-release survival and enhancing catch rate standardisation.”

But the AMCS said under the new arrangements, fishers would still be able to hammer the critical spawning aggregations for at least half of the spawning season.

In a statement to the press, the AMCS said

Fisheries Queensland publicly consulted on two options to deal with the overfished stock and have now made a decision on the future arrangements.

The statement said a recent stock assessment found the east coast population was at an historic low of 17 per cent of unfished levels and, under the department’s own rules, fisheries with stock levels below 20 per cent should be closed to fishing completely to allow them to recover.

AMCS Queensland fisheries expert Simon Miller said the measures the Government had settled on were half-baked and may not recover the stock.

“We’re dismayed by this decision. The Queensland government has thrown their own policies in the bin and gone with what the commercial and recreational fishing sectors have pushed for.

“We’re still going to see more than 300 tonnes of this iconic species pulled out of Queensland east coast waters each year, including during the critical spawning season,” he said “For Spanish mackerel to recover to resilient and healthy levels, the Queensland government must close the fishery for two years and then completely protect the spawning aggregations by banning fishing altogether.

“But they’ve chosen not to take this option.

“If this is how the Government thinks they will get a sustainable fishery, they are in dreamland.

“We have serious concerns for the future of Spanish mackerel under this ill-conceived approach.”

Under the plan, the AMCS says a new stock assessment will not be completed until 2026/27, by which time it could be depleted even further.

Mr Miller said that according to the Queensland government’s Sustainable Fisheries Strategy, key stocks like Spanish mackerel should be assessed annually or at least every two years.

“This decision shows the government has already abandoned its Sustainable Fisheries Strategy, which is supposed to guide important decisions like these.

“There is no chance of meeting the 2027 targets of the Strategy with this decision.

Sadly it seems they’ve bottled it,” added Mr Miller.

“Spanish Mackerel is an iconic species in a World Heritage Area.

“We need to be doing more to improve the resilience of the Great Barrier Reef by protecting these key predators.

“If the Queensland Government wants to leave a legacy of sustainable fishing and healthy fish stocks for future generations, they must do better.

“Fishing on our Reef should be at a gold standard. Allowing heavy fishing for a stock which is at 17 per cent of unfished levels is clearly not good enough.”

Pirates praise their best In what can only be classed as the finish to a turbulent season, Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club called on the clan to gather at the club house at Pirates Park on Friday evening 16 September.

The occasion was the presentation of trophies and acknowledgement of those who gave their best, defying some massive Covid numbers and an abnormal number of injuries.

Despite this negative atmosphere, it gave some U18s, who were called on to fill the gaps in the A grade side, the chance to shine. And shine they did.

The invitation to the gala evening was well received by the seniors, sponsors and life members, the highlight of which was the surprise appearance of former Pirate and former State of Origin player Moses Mbye.

Despite now playing and living in Sydney, he was still at ease moving around and greeting old team mates from yester-year and his handshake and big smile were sincere.

During the evening when called upon to speak, Moses spoke of his younger years and as he spoke of the years ahead, it became obvious that at the end of his NBA seasons, a return to his beloved Pirates may not be out of the question.

To start the evening, Liam Anlezark MC introduced president Paul Dwyer who thanked all for attending and in particular thanked the sponsors for their support.

“I cannot thank you enough for standing by us in what has been a tough year. All areas have been hit by the Covid, not just the players and coaches, but also our executive our staff and even the sponsors,“ he said.

“In particular, thank you to the parents and families who have stood firm in this time of difficulties. We are still together as Pirates and this is a good sign for the season ahead. Again, thank you one and all.”

Highlight of the evening was the presentation of awards and this was conducted by the various coaches: major awards in the grades were well received.

Major awards Under 18s best forward, Isaac Meuleman, best back Curtis Dean. Best and fairest Mitchell Bebbington. Division 2, best forward Lachlan Proctor best back Locklen Gladman best and farest Josh Bullen. Women’s best forward Trinity-Maree Jackson best back Nicola Bradford, best and fairest Kat Anderson.

Division 1 (A grade)best forward Rajan Opetaia- Halls, best back Roddy Mawn, best and fairest Dan Moevao. Supporter of the Year Ash Davis received his trophy from the president.

On making this award the president commented, “This man, never stops working for his club. We give him jobs to do and when that is finished, he will ring and ask for more. It is people like Ash who are the back bone of our sporting clubs. Well done, Ash, well done” There were many additional awards, just

The committee with Player of the Year Dan Moevao too many to name.

This, in fact, is a good indication as to the spirit in the club. Despite a tough season it is still alive and well.

Once again, as in previous years, life members Tony Trask and Greg Furner were acknowledged for their ongoing support.

Pirates’ top award, the O’Grady Medal, named after former club president Chris O’Grady and wife Sue, (a long-time worker for the club) is very prestigious. This year it went to Tony Mcllory. Tony was unfortunately in the USA, but he overcame this problem via a phone hook up and the presentation went well.

Head coach Brett Winkler wrapped up the season when he said, “To our players, thank you for standing tall and sticking by our club: it has indeed been a tough one. In particular a big well done to all senior coaches and club executives. Also thank you to Joe Cirillo for his work in the background.”

Following this, all senior coaches received a plaque for services rendered.

Another supporter to be acknowledged for his great work was club photographer Bradley Cole. The caterers and staff, he said, gave the club a reason to be happy.

Two for two for Thunder

By Randall Woodley The Tewantin-Noosa Thunder First Grade cricket team started the new season last weekend, just as they finished the last one- on a winning note.

Last Saturday the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association fixtures commenced with all eight teams playing T20 double headers.

At Read Park, the Thunder boys turned out in their new bright sky blue one day uniforms which most of the supporters, agreed was a great concept. The bright sky blue represents the sky and water of the Noosa area and the material they are made from will ensure that the players will keep cool as the summer progresses.

Game one The Thunder team was missing four of last season’s premiership players but like all strong clubs there were others to step in and take their places.

The first match was against the Nambour Cutters and the home side batted first on the good wicket with a fast green outfield. With opener Chris Wright away, bowler Ben Laughlin has stepped up to open for both games and showed he has attacking flair. He was partnered by last season’s top run scorer, Lewis Waugh.

The Thunder scored at better than a run a ball and after their 20 overs had compiled a competitive score of 140 for the loss of four wickets. Top scorer was club stalwart, Jarrod Officer with 42 off 40 balls Others to contribute were Ben Claypole 29 no, Blake Steel 27 no and new player Michael Eckard, 26.

Fielding second, openers Scott Aufderheide and Tom Stewart bowled superbly and took early wickets to put the Cutters on the back foot early.

Nambour finished on 6 for 100 with one of the Sunshine Coast’s top batsman, Steve Ledger being dismissed in the last over for 53. Tom Stewart took 2 -14 and Michael Eckard 2 -17 off their 4 overs each. This was a good win first up in the competition.

Game two After dinner, the boys took on the Glasshouse Rangers under lights and batted first. Opener, Ben Laughlin (40) attacked the bowler and put on 57 with partner Lewis Waugh (23). Ben Claypole (33) again batted strongly in the middle order and at the end of the session Thunder had registered 7 for 154.

The large crowd then watched some exciting cricket as the Rangers set out to chase down the target set for them by the Thunder batsmen.

However, as happened last season the strong and varied bowling lineup of the locals kept the opposition at bay and when it seemed possible that they might score the runs needed, the bowlers took vital wickets.

At one stage the Rangers were 4 for 110 with overs enough to score the runs. Then the two experienced campaigners, Scott Aufderhe-

After 20 overs the opposition was 7 for 133, still 22 runs short of a win. Best bowling figures for the Thunder were Aufderheide 3-22 and Laughlin 3-26.

The night finished with Tewantin-Noosa along with the Maroochydore Swans winning both of their matches on day one of the season. Great start for the boys.

Round two Next Saturday 24 September, the First Graders will be at Maroochydore to play Coolum Sharks in the morning and Maroochydore in the afternoon in the next round of the T20 matches.

All other senior grades and juniors commence their seasons on Saturday, October 1.

Michael Sobey Pavilion During the tea break last Saturday, the Sobey family attended the club to officially open the new viewing areas aptly named the Michael Sobey Pavilion.

Sobey, who was a past-president and life member of the club, passed away last year. He was well known in the Noosa area as a lawyer, businessman, cricket club player and member and a family man.

Patagonia’s greatest gift A lot of individual surfers are philanthropists, and vice versa: the same can’t be said for many of the major surf companies, although they pay saving the planet plenty of lip service.

Of course there are some notable exceptions, but one has stood out like a beacon for nearly half a century now, and last week Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard performed what Swellnet editor Stu Nettle appropriately dubbed “the ultimate mic drop exit” when he effectively gave away his $3 billion company to a nonprofit climate change organisation.

Even those who have followed the eccentric surfing adventurer’s extraordinary generosity since Patagonia’s earliest days were gobsmacked.

It’s one thing to fund green groups for decades, champion responsible fabric sourcing and ethical manufacturing, and pledge one per cent of the company’s sales to environmental defenders, through the 1% For The Planet Coalition, which Yvon co-founded. It’s quite another to hand over the whole sheep station.

But those who know Yvon Chouinard best have come to expect the unexpected. I’m not one of them but on the several occasions I’ve met him, I’ve been impressed with both what he has to say and his reluctance to say it.

Yes, he has the power to stand on a podium and move large groups of people with the profundity of his simple message – now summarized as “Earth is our only shareholder” – but I’ve also seen him at social engagements trying, with some level of success, to blend in with the furniture.

Born in 1938 in Maine, Yvon was essentially raised by his mother, with his father, a FrenchCanadian mechanic and redneck, seldom around. He went to a French-speaking school and dreamed of becoming a fur trapper like his French-Canadian forebears.

In 1947, his mother, Yvonne, convinced her husband there were better prospects for employment in California, so they moved and young Yvon struggled at English schools and became, by his own assessment, a “geek and a loner”.

But in California he discovered surfing, which in those days epitomised the loner lifestyle, and he discovered the Falconry Club, where he and his new friends began rappelling down cliffs in search of hawks’ nests.

After learning the basics of climbing from one of the most experienced falconers, aged 16, Chouinard headed to Wyoming and made his first solo ascent. Thereafter, his life’s passions would be divided between the pleasures of the mountains and the sea, in approximately equal measure.

Still in his teens, Yvon taught himself blacksmithing so that he could forge reusable climbing tools that would not harm the environment.

He then started producing in a small workshop behind his parents’ house, where Chouinard Equipment’s first ground-breaking innovation was the aluminum chock, that could be used and removed from cracks without damaging the mountain.

In 1971 he married Malinda Pennoyer, and on an extended honeymoon in England and Scotland, they were inspired to try their hands at creating apparel.

Their first big mover was a shirt styled on a rugby jersey. Soon they were selling more clothing than hardware and Yvon felt they needed a more marketable name.

Patagonia was born the following year, based in Ventura, California and featuring an environmentally responsible message on every marketing message and swing tag.

When I wrote my first major article about Chouinard and Patagonia in 2008, the outdoors equipment and attire company had already donated more than $30 million to charities, mostly environmental funds, and had instituted best practice in employee conditions and fair trade issues.

Yvon described all of this in his 2005 book

Yvon the surfer.

Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman, the first of several New York Times bestsellers.

But in fact Patagonia was only warming up.

Over the last decade, as the realities of climate change have kicked in, the company has been increasingly focused on using its messaging and global sales power to save the planet.

Last week Yvon, now 83, announced that the owners of the company, himself, wife Malinda and children Fletcher and Claire, were gifting 98 per cent of Patagonia worldwide to the Holdfast Collective, which will now be the recipient of all the company’s profits and use the funds to combat climate change, while two per cent and all voting rights are to be retained by an entity known as the Patagonia Purpose Trust. The American financial media and philanthropic websites went nuts over the enormity of possibly the greatest living billionaire gifting ever.

Predictably, the blogosphere went nuts in the other direction, charging Chouinard, whose personal wealth is estimated at $1.8 billion, of greenmail and tax avoidance. In fact, the way the gift has been made guarantees continuance of the Patagonia creed and offers no tax relief or other fiscal benefit to the company.

The night of the announcement, Yvon Chouinard posted on the Patagonia website: “If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have.

I never wanted to be a businessman. I started as a craftsman, making climbing gear for my friends and myself, then got into apparel. As we began to witness the extent of global warming and ecological destruction, and our own contribution to it, Patagonia committed to using our company to change the way business was done.

“We needed to find a way to put more money into fighting the crisis while keeping the company’s values intact. One option was to sell Patagonia and donate all the money. But we couldn’t be sure a new owner would maintain our values or keep our team of people around the world employed. Another path was to take the company public. What a disaster that would have been.

“Instead of going public, you could say we’re going purpose. Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.”

Cheers Yvon, a legacy and a philosophy preserved forever.

BALANCED OUTLOOK FOR HINTERLAND PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THIS year seems to have flown by, with everything from an easing of Covid restrictions, to flooding and an increased cost of living, all adding pressure on the housing shortage in Queensland.

Hinternoosa’s Kess Prior said that with the RBA predicting inflation to reach seven percent by the end of the year and having also publicly pencilled in the cash rate to increase to 1.75 percent by the end of the year, it is expected data will soon start to show the economy responding to rate rises in order to tame inflation.

In Hinternoosa’s market update for spring, Kess refers to respected property analyst, Louis Christopher, who highlights the reality that in times of high inflation, people look for real estate assets that are going to hedge against that.

In the 1970s inflation peaked at 17.5 percent and people scrambled to secure real estate because their wage and cash Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

Laguna Real Estate. 299487 in the bank was devaluing at a very rapid rate. Sydney house prices in the decade quadrupled.

He notes there is potential for this to happen again if interest rates rise and then go on hold.

There is also potential for a hard landing for the property market if the RBA continue to increase rates, particularly if they go in excess of seven percent, which is above bank stress tests since 2014 and will result in forced sales around the country.

Sydney is the epicentre of this forecast and the “downturn” the media is currently reporting, with a seven percent drop so far this year, and Melbourne to a lesser extent.

It is important to note, however, that Sydney and Melbourne are not the only real estate markets in the country and a fall is not being seen outside these cities. Most regions around Australia are still recording rises.

Locally, we know that our Noosa hinterland market is less sensitive to interest rate increases than other parts of

the country due to a large proportion of our buyers and owners not as heavily leveraged on borrowings.

We are still seeing demand outweigh supply and since the beginning of the year at Hinternoosa we have also seen a continued increase in our average sale price of 17 percent to $1,471,000.

This trend has been similar for our entire state, with the Queensland median house price rising 3.23 percent in the first quarter of this year.

The state’s strongest performer being the Noosa local government area, with a 15.38 percent quarterly rise to $1.5m from figures released by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).

All this despite disruptions such as a string of long weekends, the standstill of Easter, and a Federal election.

REIQ CEO, Antonia Mercorella, highlighted this continued growth has surprised many and suggested Queensland is currently positioned for further growth.

“The latest quarterly data tells us the Sunshine State market is still a rising star,” Ms Mercorella said.

“We recognise that at some stage the rate of growth we see in Queensland will start to level and stabilise, simply because it would be difficult to sustain this level of accelerated growth – but for now, there’s still plenty of wind in the sails of Queensland’s property market.’’

Our advice for the remainder of the year is to avoid being distracted by sensationalised doom and gloom in the media; seek expert local advice on your market; focus on what you can control and let go of what you can’t.

No matter what the market is, there are always buyers - sometimes less, sometimes more.

NOOSA AGENTS SELECTED FOR REIQ AWARDS The standard of Noosa real estate agents has again been recognised with the REIQ unveiling finalists for the Awards for Excellence 2022.

Following intensive deliberation from judges, the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) has announced the shortlist of finalists for the awards, to be held on October 29.

With 29 agency and individual categories and 180 finalists, this year’s gala awards night at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre is set to be packed with star real estate performers and their support crews.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said each year the REIQ Awards for Excellence celebrate the very best that the Queensland real estate industry has to offer, and these finalists were one step closer to being crowned a winner.

“These awards are professional recognition at the highest level in Queensland, and with a record number of nominations this year, being named as a finalist is a significant achievement,”

Ms Mercorella said.

“Every year the quality of the submissions received ‘wow’ the judges, and it’s evident from the passion and pride radiating from the submissions that nominating is a rewarding process in itself as agents reflect on their key achievements over the past financial year.

“I’d like to wish the finalists congratulations from the REIQ team and on behalf of Queensland’s real estate community – you are our shining lights.”

Laguna Real Estate has been nominated in five categories including the highlyregarded Contribution to the Community.

Laguna has been continually recognised for its Excellence In Service since 2002, being successful at the REIQ Awards on a number of occasions. Wythes Real Estate and Countryside Realty Noosa have also been award winners and finalists previously.

Ms Mercorella said tickets for the awards

night were always snapped up quickly and with a sell-out event last year, it was best to get in early to secure a table.

“Our awards night is really something special – everyone dresses to the nines in a room filled with high-achieving real estate professionals, and while on one hand it’s competitive, there’s also tonnes of support and team mates cheering each other on,” she said.

“We believe the tireless work and dedication of our members is what makes the real estate sector in Queensland truly stand out, as well as what makes the REIQ Awards for Excellence such a highlyanticipated event on the industry’s calendar.

“It’s an excellent opportunity to celebrate personal and team achievements and reward high-performing staff – we’re told it can be an incredibly motivating experience for attendees as well.”

The REIQ was founded with the twin

goals of giving a voice to the real estate profession and also to raise the bar and deliver greater levels of professionalism within the ranks of all practising real estate professionals.

The REIQ Awards for Excellence deliver on that promise to improve the standard of professionalism and give consumers greater confidence in choosing a real estate practitioner.

LIVING LA VIDA LUXE IN HEART OF SUNSHINE WHEN a visually arresting contemporary beach house with smart home technology in the absolute heart of desirable Sunshine Beach a few minutes to the sand, redefines the limits of an effortless idyllic lifestyle, you have found Nirvana.

Admire the lush tropical gardens fringing the walkway of this duplex and open the statement glass pivot door to the entry way. The height of decadence are soaring ceilings, banks of glass panes and louvres, and an abundance of natural light shadow dancing across what appears to be endless pale-hued travertine flooring throughout the over-generous living and dining spaces.

On the north and westerly sides, doors seemingly disappear. Indoors, an on-trend monochromatic aesthetic featuring brilliant whites, muted greys, and custom ash-toned timber features, coalesces in a transparent fashion with the extensive warm-toned timber terraces and sundeck, also pool and rear garden with lawn. What a perfect space for children and four-footers.

The undercover area has a stone-topped outdoor kitchen with integrated barbeque and a wine fridge. The terrace with electric awnings on the south westerly side offers more sun-lounging and entertaining options with a clever gas-lift window from the kitchen opening out to a servery/bar area, suggesting snacks and drinks are on tap, albeit very close.

The U-shaped kitchen with stonetopped cabinetry, high-end appliances and commensurate in size, would be the ‘icing on the cake’ for any culinary whizz and consummate entertainer.

Upstairs are two bedrooms. The piece de resistance of the master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite is its large terrace. Not because it is a sunny spot for morning coffee accompanied by a chorus of birdsong, more the irresistible spa, for sublime sunrises or sundowners accompanied by the sound of the surf and salty breezes. Something to sigh about at any time of the day or night.

The second master-style suite in the north wing has an ensuite with builtin robe and dresser, while in between is a mezzanine hallway with a custom workstation/office area with data cabling and more, for the tech savvy.

“Synonymous of definitive barefoot luxury, the private whisper-quiet beach house, is in the heart of Sunshine Beach,” says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tiffany Wilson. “Imagine waking up and looking out through the terrace to the trees, hearing the sound of the surf and knowing it is just two streets to the vibrant village and access to the patrolled surf area of famous Sunshine Beach.

“With back-to back, year-round bookings for the high-end holiday market, this is a sure-fire investment opportunity.” ●

ALLURING CORAL SEA VIEWS WHILE LIVING IN SUNSHINE FRAMED by a statement pandanus, Inaspace Architecture + Design has etched its inimitable pedigree and alluring beach house style with a timber and stainlesssteel security gate which seemingly disappears into the wall, revealing laserlite panelling on the façade, and interlocked metal fascias either side of the entry.

Inside the class act continues. Admire how the texture of endless polished concrete floors and the grain of exposed aggregate block are perfect partners with rich timbers, also tinted glass louvres, doors and windows.

Note how they follow the rise of the solid concrete staircase with timber treads.

From the rooftop where it is time to sigh, drink in magnificent sweeping views of the Coral Sea, also whales breaching as they are back and forth along the humpback highway. Spend the day there perhaps, after all it is equipped with water, sound speakers, computer points and soft cushions for the sun lounges.

On the upper level, translucent glass balustrades have exposed timber baton and connect in a harmonious fashion with the wraparound poolside terraces via banks of bi-fold aluminium framed glass doors.

Mediterranean-hued mosaic tiles, on a feature wall with water features extend into the wet-edge pool which hugs the eastern boundary.

Naturally, ocean views are on show from the terrace which stretches the width of the residence.

Wake up to the sight and sound of waves breaking onshore from the king master suite which accesses the terraces and has a walk-in robe and bathroom.

Similarly, a queen-size bedroom is spoilt by these views and like the bedroom beside it, has a built-in robe. Both share a bathroom.

Classic detailing and a fresh neutral palette continue in the open plan living and dining spaces. An abundance of light emanating from the oceanside bounces across the beautiful blackbutt floors and

coalesces in a seamless fashion, with the easterly undercover terrace.

Central to level one is the designer galley-style kitchen with expansive marbletopped benches/island/breakfast bar stocked with every accoutrement including Miele appliances, to please a cook with the passion of Jamie Oliver.

In the west wing is your choice of bedroom or study, and on the lower entry level is a laundry, courtyard, storeroom and entry to the massive garage which has a capacity for three cars and the necessary bikes and water craft.

“This is a blue-ribbon property two minutes to toes-in-the sand,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Roark Walsh who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 1 October 2022. “Those who know Sunshine Beach appreciate the privileged location and amenable subtropical climate, also being able to enjoy anonymity at one of the world’s best beaches or at the nearby village where the local cafe society preserve the ‘barefoot if you like’ attitude.

“If you’re thinking about basking in the pleasures of a dream lifestyle or a sure-fire investment, it’s all here.”

PROPERTY NEWS

A SLICE OF HEAVEN SPRING and summer are the perfect months for Mediterranean style cooking and alfresco dining, especially when you have a pizza oven in the backyard.

Pizza ovens are becoming popular additions to Australian backyards alongside the ubiquitous barbecue.Devotees of pizza ovens love the simplicity of authentic Italian-style pizzas, which can be healthy, quick to make and delicious.

Because the high heat generated in a wood fired pizza oven, food cooks extremely quickly making them great for feeding large groups of people. And only wood fired brick ovens infuse that smokey, charcoal flavour that can’t be replicated in a normal kitchen oven.

There are a number of things to consider when choosing what sort of pizza oven is right for your home.

Firstly, what material to use in constructing the oven.

Brick Brick ovens are fuel efficient, as they retain up to 85 per cent of the heat generated by a wood fire. Bricks are also cheap making them a popular choice .

To get an authentic rustic look, the brick can be rendered in cement with the added benefit of retaining extra heat for faster cooking.

Stone Stone has very similar heat efficiency to brick but it can be an expensive option. If you like the look of natural stone use it on the facade as decoration rather than using it for the baking chamber.

Cob Cob is a mixture of natural building materials made from things such as clay, sand, straw, rocks and recycled materials.

It is one of the oldest building methods on earth. A cob oven is cheap to construct and fuel efficient. It cooks with all three heating methods: convection, conduction and radiant heat. Be careful to ensure the baking chamber is fired properly or it will crack. There is plenty of advice on the internet about how to construct a cob oven.

Steel In modern homes stainless steel is a popular choice for pizza ovens. They are low maintenance and can be connected to gas as a fuel source eliminating the long heating time needed for wood fired models.

Portable oven For those with a small backyard a portable pizza oven or even a bench top oven may be a better option. Portable ovens can be wood fired or gas powered. They can be moved out of the way when not in use or even taken to a park, the beach or a friend’s house.

The other main consideration is which fuel to use to fire your pizza oven.

Wood For purists wood is the only way to go.

Wood fired is the authentic way of cooking used by humans for thousands of years.

It can take up to four hours to get a wood fired oven to the correct temperature for cooking so patience and planning is required if you choose wood.

Charcoal/coal Wood-fired ovens can also be fueled with

either charcoal or coal for a different flavour, though these options are often considered to be less efficient, and less eco-friendly.

Gas/electric More contemporary in style, a gas or electric pizza oven is a cleaner option, particularly for an indoor or enclosed kitchen. Gas is also faster but they do need to be connect to a mains supply or bottled gas. ●

EXPANSIVE VIEWS IN CENTRAL LOCATION IN a small group of apartments, this lovely property has a beautiful lake on one side but is right in the heart of the main retail and commercial areas of Tewantin.

Once inside the apartment, gazing over almost 180 degree views of picturesque Lake Doonella, you could be in the heart of the peaceful countryside!

The well-maintained apartment will have enormous appeal as a downsizer, a first home, an investment, or a “lock and leave” for the lucky owner. It really is a blank canvas for the next owner to make their own.

A small flight of stairs takes you up from the carport into a small, welcoming north-facing sun-room and through stylish double timber doors into the single level apartment. Almost every room has peaceful views over the sloping lawns and lake.

Two spacious bedrooms, a separate toilet, a main bathroom with bath, and a shower room with laundry facilities, are practical features of the design.

Split system air conditioning for heating

and cooling provides year round comfort.

Enjoy the views from inside the apartment, or relax in the shade on the lawns, gazing over the lake and watching the abundant bird-life, including swans and pelicans.

You won’t need your car here, with all facilities, including banks, medical centre, bus stop and supermarkets all within an easy walk.

And the beautiful Noosa River is nearby too!

Just a five-minute walk will take you to the Noosa Marina where you can enjoy the boutique shops and weekend markets, have a drink at the Wine Bar, dine at a selection of restaurants, or jump on the ferry to Hastings Street!

With the added bonus of low body corporates, this apartment will be hot property. Don’t be one of those buyers who will say in a few years “if only I had bought…”

Be quick to inspect to make it yours now. ●
