NOOSA

Families in on the act When we say it’s fun for the whole family, it is in more ways than one.

Mother Goose, which is now playing at Noosa Arts Theatre on Saturdays and Sundays, have a big cast of mainly children.

Craig Sailaway plays the Squire and his son Harvey plays one of the Squire’s funny sidekicks, Bash, and is absolutely hilarious.

Craig’s two daughters, Millie and Isabella, also play roles in the chorus.

Millie is one of the adorable student fairies, and Isabella plays one of the make-up assistants, Estee, who manages to make Mother Goose look, well, not so young as she was hoping.

Two lovely sisters, Maria and Lucia Bella Sykes, also play in the chorus and are seasoned performers after being in the last couple of pantomimes.

15 seconds of hell

By Phil Jarratt

12572850-DL42-22

This is the story of what happened when a little piece of heaven in Noosa suddenly turned into hell on an otherwise peaceful start to the second day of 2023.

Sunshine Beach dog groomer Amanda Taylor arrived at Dog Beach (also known as Doggie Beach) in Noosa Woods just before 7am with a trio of well-groomed canines – her own slightly demented Pomeranian Rusty, her daughter’s frisky two-year-old Pom called Ferrari (or Rari for short) and her neighbours’ big, beautiful Bull Arab, Rajah.

As she’d done a thousand times before, Amanda set her towel down at the edge of the sand, still wet from the early high tide, and walked to the water’s edge with the dogs following, all ready for a swim and frolic in the calm waters of the inlet just inside the Noosa Bar. Although Dog Beach is certainly on the tourist radar, it is one of the few swimming holes where locals usually outnumber visitors, even the day after New Year, and there were already 20 or 30 of them, many with dogs, setting up their cabanas as the tide receded or walking the sections of beach that eroded trees haven’t

cut off, and a few lolling on anchored boats off the adjacent sand bar.

It was a dreamy morning in a dreamy place, until suddenly it wasn’t.

Hearing the unmistakeable screaming of a small dog, Amanda looked down at her feet in time to see a blur of fur heading in the other direction.

She turned and saw Rari’s torso and tail protruding from a thick knot of patterned flesh. “It took a second or two to register, and then I thought, shit, it’s a snake!” she recalled.

“I could see it had bitten into him and was curling tighter around his head. Then I saw the

tail getting shorter as the snake kept curling around Rari.”

Reflecting on these terrifying moments a few days later with husband Paul at their comfortable Sunshine Beach home, Amanda said: “There were a lot of thought processes involved when I look back on it.

“I knew the snake was a python and if it bit me it wouldn’t kill me.

“I knew I had to stop my dog being strangled. The snake was crushing his head so much it burst a blood vessel in his eye.

Friends and family will farewell Simon Kuring, one of Noosa’s most colourful identities, with a wake and celebration of his life at Simon’s Sunday Devotions riverside table on Gympie Terrace on Sunday 22 January.

The humble table, opposite Munna Beach Resort and modified by Simon with extra umbrella holes for all-day sun protection, hosted Sunday morning champagne-fuelled devotions over many years, with the leading lights

of Noosa’s demi-monde sharing (and shouting) their views on the issues of the day.

Although it won’t be the same without him (what wake is!), older brother Nic said this celebration, open to all who knew him, would celebrate Simon with laughter as well as tears.

The wake will start at 10am, with attendees asked to bring a plate and their libation of choice.

The Christmas season is behind us, hot cross buns have already been on the shelves for a couple of weeks, business is back to normal, mostly, and getting the kids back to school is the next big hurdle of the year ahead.

But the holiday season in Noosa is still in full swing and everyone is loving the freedom to move around without imposed pandemic restrictions.

Surprisingly though Covid is still very much present in the community.

In the past week there have been just under 10,700 cases in the state which Queensland Health report is a 30 per cent drop from the 15,300 cases in the week before Christmas.

There are about 540 people currently in hospital with Covid in Queensland.

On the plus side Covid oral antiviral treatments nirmatrelvir and ritonavir (Paxlovid) and molnupiravir (Lagevrio) are available through the PBS for eligible patients and the criteria for Paxlovid and Lagevrio has been expanded.

And as Chinese New Year nears on 20 January restrictions were imposed last week on travellers arriving from China, including Hong Kong and Macau who now need a negative Covid pre-departure test.

In other news scientists have found people living in houses close to trees and tree canopies have a reduced risk of developing heart attack and heart disease related mortality.

And 11 January marked 50 years since the end of Australian involvement in the Vietnam war.

Double Island Point from the Carlo Sand Blow at Rainbow Beach, near the northern end of newly connected wildlife reserves down to Noosa. New protected areas have also been declared on the region’s western boundary.

Protecting our wild sides

By Arthur Gorrie Big national park additions are on the way for the near-Gympie region, as the state government powers ahead with plans to link protected wilderness areas from Conondale to Kilkivan and Noosa to K’Gari (Fraser Island).

The additions will connect vital wildlife corridors along the whole of Gympie region’s coastal and western boundaries.

They are part of a 43,000ha expansion program for wildlife reserves across Queensland, announced last week by Acting Premier Steven Miles.

“Combined, our national parks, nature refuges and other protected areas cover 14.3 million hectares – that’s an area double the size of Tasmania,” he said.

Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the mix of new and expanded nature refuges, as well as additions to a number of national

parks, were part of a government investment of $262.5 million to expand and create new national parks.

It was the single biggest such investment in Queensland’s history,” she said.

“It’s great to see this batch include a number of nature refuges, areas that Queensland landholders have nominated to protect the critical ecosystems, plants and creatures that live within it.”

Near-Gympie areas now formally declared as protected include a new 51.53ha Boreen Nature Refuge, a new 35.3ha Keysii Nature Refuge, a 121.53ha addition to the Weyba Nature Refuge and a 5.11ha addition to the Yurol Nature Refuge (all in Noosa region), plus a 92.13ha addition to the Oakview National Park near Kilkivan.

Oakview borders on Wrattens National Parok, which borders on forestry and other largely wilderness areas down to Imbil and Conondale.

Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon last year announced a 2400ha addition to Tewantin National Park, including a transformed role for revegetated native habitat in areas now used for pine plantation forestry.

That turned “the old Yurol Ringtail State Forest into a protected area, with major revegetation works to be carried out by the Kabi Kabi People Aboriginal Corporation, (private contractor) Greenfleet Australia and Noosa Landcare,” Ms Scanlon said.

“Transfer of rehabilitated forestry to Tewantin National Park will ultimately double the [ark’s size and create a protected corridor to the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park.”

Noosa Parks Association president Michael Gloster said at that time the program of expansion was an important step in achieving the 60-year NPA dream of “a continuous national park running from Cooloola to Coolum.”

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said the national park expansion program was the culmination of decades of work by the community, “the end of a long-held vision and process involving many, and the beginning of a new journey.”

She also highlighted the important connections and corridor networks the expansion program would create, and said the program would “double the (Yurol) park’s size and create a protected corridor to the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park.”

Supporters at the time claimed the project would sequester “hundreds of thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions,” combined with providing a direct revenue stream for traditional owners.

The ongoing national parks plan has been described as a great step forward by supporters.

The cast and crew including director Susan Dearnley, music director Di Thomson, and pianist Robyn Holliday.

Pantomime a family affair From page 1 Another set of sisters are Hazel and Yvette Auglys, who are newcomers to the theatre and play several roles plus the chorus.

There are only three adults in the cast, Craig Sailaway, and Jane Rivers who plays Mother Goose.

Jane has been involved with Noosa Arts for over three decades, behind the scenes, and was the president for a couple of those years.

Tom was in last year’s pantomime, as well as a few plays over the past couple of years, and is a favourite with audiences.

The pantomime attracts many kids who enjoy being a part of the show each year, such as Nicholas Tatham who plays Biff, the other sidekick to the Squire, and sweet Laurah-Jade Larkin, who is performing in her sixth pantomime as Jill.

Every year the theatre introduces new stars to the panto line up, and this year it welcomed Ashley O’Donovan who plays Jack, Imogen Hill as Lauder and Emily Talbott as Fairy Day. They are all doing a magnificent job.

Xavier Vass is brilliant as Silly Billy, and he recently performed as one of the young Peter Allen’s in The Boy From Oz in November.

Two other gorgeous munchkins are Charlotte Van Wachem, who’s in the chorus and a couple of other roles, and Mackenzie Dragan who plays Priscilla.

Although Mackenzie has no lines to say, not many could perfect the role of a young goose the way she does.

Not many people realise how much organisation is involved to get a pantomime up and running.

Director Susan Dearnley has been directing Noosa Arts Theatre’s pantomimes for the past 10 years.

The show is put in motion three months ahead with an information night held at the theatre, and then followed by a day or two of casting calls. Once the cast is in place, a rehearsal schedule is put in place.

Naturally the cast works hard but there are many people working behind the scenes, such as music, which is always especially written for the show by Di Thomson.

Robyn Holliday is live on stage with her piano accompanying the cast with all the fun sing-a-long songs.

The theatre is run by volunteers and are lucky to have the great skill sets of the set building team, The Secret Men’s Business helped by Noosa’s Men’s Shed, and of course not forgetting the backstage crew of stage managers and all the friendly front of house and bar staff at the theatre.

The theatre is always looking for more volunteers for all these areas, so if you would like to join the team please call the theatre or go to the website and become a member, so you will get all the information about our shows and upcoming auditions.

Mother Goose has two more weekends to go on 14, 15, 21 and 22 January.

Python strikes at dog beach From page 1 “What came next was just a gut reaction.

“I grabbed the tail and started banging the other end on the ground in the hope that it would uncoil.

“I thought I was quietly dealing with the situation but apparently I was screaming my head off. There was a boat sitting right in front of me with people quietly sitting on it. When I looked up again they were treading water and just looking at me.”

Noosa locals, the Mount family, had been enjoying the morning serenity from the bow of their boat when the python struck.

As Angela Mount later posted on social media in response to Amanda’s story: “We heard your screams from our boat and turned to see it unfold. My husband’s very impressed with your snake wrangling skills. It was a big one!”

Indeed it was, estimated at between three and three-and-a-half metres long, the python was at the high end of specimens often seen on Dog Beach, although usually at the more eroded end near the sand berms.

“I have accidentally come across multiple pythons when fishing this area, more so at night and early mornings, they hang from branches and yes, tuck under the overarches of the river bank,” fisherman Dave Simpson posted.

Oblivious to the mounting reaction to her screams, Amanda just kept bravely focused on the job at hand, freeing her brave little dog.

She says: “So I just kept banging it [the python] on the ground until it unravelled and the dog came flying out of its mouth. They were travelling in the same direction but separated now, which made it easy to wind it up and just chuck the snake as far into the water as I could.

“It went a long way.

“Rajah had gone running off so I went after him and when I got back to the water’s edge everyone was just standing, watching.

“While I walked Rajah to the water to keep an eye on the snake, I asked if anyone could help me grab my little dog because he’d been bitten by a snake.

“Most of them hadn’t realised what had happened, thinking I’d been throwing a big stick.

“So Rajah is up to his chest in the shallows and the snake is right in front of him, swimming like a cobra with his head out of the water just keeping an eye on Rajah.

“That freaked me out, but then the whole thing freaked me out. I was so surprised that Rajah just kept watch, that he didn’t attack the snake.”

With Rajah on snake watch, Amanda turned her attention back to Rari, who had come running back to her.

“I picked him up while a woman grabbed my towel and came over, and I realised I had blood all over me from his head wound.” she said.

“Together we wrapped him up in the towel and stood there in a state of shock. I called Rajah back from the water and a woman told me that the moment I did that the snake just zoomed out of the water and up the sand and under the tree roots again.”

Rari the little victim with the two heroes of this story.

Dog Beach at high tide.

Angela Mount confirmed this from the boat.

“Glad your dog is OK. Snake slid back to its spot under the tree roots after the swim.”

Fifteen seconds of hell, by Amanda’s reckoning, and it was all over.

In a sense.

One of the women who helped her slipped a business card into her hand and told to call if she needed to. A clinical psychologist, this

kind soul talked Amanda through her times of trauma this past week.

Amanda says: “I’d been waking up in the night with that vision of the little dog being crushed, but it’s getting better, and yesterday I took the small dogs back to the beach for the first time.

“It was really hard, I just kept picking them up. It’s a shame because it’s my version of para-

Meanwhile, Ferrari was pretty frisky when Noosa Today called in on the Taylors at the end of a tough week, healing well from two punctures to the ear and head and severe bruising to his head and eye.

Rajah, who came over from the neighbours’ to be in the photo, just looked pretty pleased with himself, as well he might.

Who’s paying for all this?

PHIL JARRATT concludes our inside story of the Bistro C fraud case A decade since its opening, by 2007 Sails restaurant, fronting the Main Beach boardwalk at its intersection with Park Road and offering stunning ocean views from the First Point surf break right in front to the beaches of Teewah across the bay, had not only become a rival to the funkier Bistro C for event beachfront dining, but had begun to dominate the wedding trade, offering an extravagantly perfect reception after a couple had been wed with Noosa sand between their toes.

Sails weddings had been featured in national magazines and lifestyle TV programs, and the rich and famous were knocking each other out to get a booking for Junior’s postnuptial blowout, but the wedding of part-time bookkeeper Jodi Cashmore and carpenter Dan Nuske in 2007 raised the bar for opulence, even by Sails’ standards, according to several attendees. And tout Noosa turned out for the show.

Bistro C owner Lori Banks remembers walking in and saying to her then partner, “Blimey, I wonder who’s paying for all of this!”

The partner said: “I bet you are.”

It was a quip made partly in jest, but already questions were being asked about Jodi’s freewheeling approach to money among her widening circle of friends, and 15 years later Maroochydore District Court would hear from Nuske herself that she had “taken” but not “stolen” money from the business since around that time.

The distinction seemed to imply that these transactions were authorised, but that was not supported by the Banks’ family nor the business’s accountant, nor ultimately by a jury who last month found her guilty of defrauding Bistro C of more than $600,000 between 2013 and 2016, with Judge Gary Long sentencing the mother of two to seven years behind bars.

Bistro C from the beach.

While the case for the Crown in this trial and a civil matter that preceded it was based only on forensic accounting of transactions over a three-year period, Ms Banks and her family have always maintained that money had been mysteriously leaking from the business for more than a decade.

Friends of the Nuskes from that period have told Noosa Today they had expressed concern about Jodi’s extravagant lifestyle and where the money was coming from, but were assured that the family share portfolio was performing extremely well.

However, Lori Banks’ eldest daughter

Picture: SUPPLIED Hayley, who had become one of Jodi’s closest friends, began to suspect quite early that something was going on.

She says: “Her engagement ring was huge and when other friends got married she’d think nothing of giving them a Carla Zampatti dress worth thousands. We used to have girls’ weekends away and money was never an issue. She’d book a luxury apartment and then go downstairs and drop five grand on a designer handbag, or we’d go to the hairdresser and she’d pay for us all to get a blow dry before we went to the races. Things like that happened often, but my very first suspicion was that she

Jodi Nuske leaves court in 2019. was paying for their home utility bills out of the company accounts.”

While all three Banks girls, Hayley, Cassie and Chloe, worked for the family business for some part of Jodi Nuske’s 18-year tenure as bookkeeper, they also developed careers elsewhere, which explains why taking your suspicions about a loved and trusted senior employee to your mother was never going to be easy, even after they became aware that Lori had given Nuske enduring power of attorney over her will prior to mother and three daughters flying to England to see an ailing grandmother.

View from the front table.

Daughter Hayley Banks.

Bistro C owner Lori Banks.

After working at Bistro C following school, Hayley had managed shops in the surf retail sector before striking out on her own with a homewares business in 2008, but she remained close to the restaurant’s financials through a shared accountant in Paulette Clark.

She says: “When things were going poorly with my homewares shop I’d talk to Paulette every day for advice.

“At this stage Bistro C was firing and should have been raking in the money, but Paulette said things were running a bit tight but she couldn’t tell why because she’d been locked out of BankLink! Jodi had told her that Mum didn’t

want her to see the accounts.”

Hayley says she first went to her mother with concerns about Jodi in 2012 and had been howled down, but four years later she knew she had to do something, so she developed a plan.

She recalls: “By this time Jodi had to know we were onto her. I went to my friend Ashleigh (Goodman) who was Jodi’s assistant, and I told her I knew Jodi was stealing from us.

“My sister Chloe and I took her to dinner to make sure she understood that she had to tell us everything she knew and she wouldn’t get into trouble.

“Ash said, ‘I’m not saying that she’s stealing

Picture: SUPPLIED

but this is what she does with the cash.’ And she went through it step by step.

“I told Ash I needed to get into the bank accounts and she said, ‘Good luck with that. Jodi doesn’t let anyone near them.’

“So then I went to Mum’s banker and told him I knew that Jodi was stealing and that I needed 24-hour access to the accounts. He reluctantly agreed and gave me an access number. I logged in and nearly fell off my chair.

“I was expecting to find that she’d been paying things like her amenities bills at home, but as I scrolled down I found school fees, lounge suites, payments on an Amex bill when I knew Mum didn’t have Amex.

“I printed the pages out and showed them to Chloe and insisted that she come with me to Mum’s house to support me. When we got there, I laid out the pages and directed her to the payments Mum would understand immediately couldn’t be anything to do with her, like private school fees at a school none of her grandkids went to.”

The penny finally dropped.

Lori Banks says: “I phoned my banker right away and told him we needed to act. Then I went to my solicitor and told him we needed a forensic accountant.

“When we had a pretty good idea of the size of the theft, I told Jodi we knew what she’d been doing and I gave her three months’ grace.

“I told her I wouldn’t go to the police and that no one would know about it as long as she paid me back in full.

“On the last day of the three months she sent my solicitor a letter saying, see you in court.”

NEWS

After more than two years of a police investigation and forensic examination of Bistro C, Nuske and related third party accounts, Jodi Nuske was arrested on 19 July 2019 and charged with stealing as a servant.

A subsequent civil matter was discontinued after Nuske filed for bankruptcy, but she finally had her day in court – in fact 10 of them – last month.

After a solid and comprehensive case had been presented by crown prosecutor Alex Stark and a string of witnesses, Nuske’s defence barrister Scott Casey claimed in his closing remarks to the jury that five of the witnesses for the prosecution – Lorraine Banks, her daughter Hayley, Nuske’s former assistant Ashleigh Goodman, Bistro C staff member Deb Scotney and Lori Banks’ accountant Paulette Clarke – had “thrown [Nuske] under the bus” because she “knew too much” about Bistro C committing tax fraud.

It was dramatic, yes, but it was also the last card in the pack, and the jury wasn’t wearing it, taking less than two hours to deliver a guilty verdict.

In mitigation of his client, Mr Casey also said that while he agreed it was a “significant” amount of money taken, Bistro C had not suffered financial hardship due to Nuske’s offending.

But in sentencing, Judge Gary Long said Nuske had used the funds to maintain an “affluent standard of living” by treating Ms Banks’ resources as her own.

Still reeling from what she saw as an outrageous counter-attack on the integrity of the Bistro C family of employees, Lori Banks told Noosa Today: “Jodi’s lawyer said that no harm had come to us as a result of this, but after the trial I had to go to bed for a week because I was a cot case!

“Over the whole six years since the investigation began I started to lose my hair from the stress, and of course it’s split up many friendships.

“I gave Jodi the opportunity to do the right thing and she refused, so there’s no possibility of forgiveness now.

“But has any good come out of this? Yes, it’s made our family and our business even stronger.”

Imbil woman charged

By Arthur Gorrie A young Imbil woman is one of two people charged with manslaughter over the death of a six-year-old Roma boy, in a highway crash near Injune 12 months ago.

Crash investigators wrapped up their year-long probe and charged the two with multiple offences each.

A 34-year-old Roma man has been charged with one count each of manslaughter, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death and taking a protected animal, according to a police announcement last Friday (6 January).

A 19-year-old Imbil woman has been charged with one count each of manslaughter and taking a protected animal.

Both were granted police bail and are expected to appear in Roma Magistrates Court next Tuesday (17 January).

Police last week said investigators would

allege the woman and the boy were passengers in a southbound 4wd vehicle, which ran off the Carnarvon Highway, about 20km north of Injune.”

Her co-accused was allegedly driving the white Toyota Landcruiser, which rolled several times before coming to a stop in the northbound lane. They were returning from a kangaroo-shooting trip nearby, a police spokesperson said.

“Detectives will allege the adults were able to free themselves, however the boy was not removed from the vehicle and was subsequently struck by a passing prime mover and died at the scene,” according to a published statement. The crash was at the beginning of what police say was a tragic 2022, with 299 road deaths.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey last week promised a summit of transport experts to recommend changes.

Two teenagers have been seriously injured following an e-scooter and vehicle crash in Alexandra Headland on Tuesday 3 January.

Police said about 7.15pm a 13-year-old Mountain Creek boy was riding an e-scooter with a 13-year-old Buderim girl as a passenger eastbound along George Street when a collision occurred with a silver Suzuki Vitara wagon travelling north along Mayfield Street.

The driver of the vehicle and multiple bystanders stopped to render immediate first aid to the teenagers ahead of the emergency response, however, both sustained critical injuries.

“The two teenagers were just flung into the air by this vehicle,“ Queensland Ambulance Service senior operations supervisor Dianne Rigby said.

Ms Rigby said the boy was transported in a serious condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) and later airlifted by LifeFlight crews to the Queensland Children’s Hospital (QCH) in Brisbane with multiple leg injuries and significant head injuries.

The girl was transported by road to SCUH with hip and back injuries and later airlifted to Queensland Children’s Hospital.

“The outcome is absolutely terrible, life changing potentially,“ Ms Rigby said.

“It was very traumatic for those who witnessed it as well.“ The driver of the vehicle, a 34-year-old Mooloolaba woman was not physically injured.

Witnesses, especially those with dashcam vision of the crash or the moments leading up to it, are asked to come forward.

In another incident in Buderim on Saturday night about 8.45pm, a man in his 20s suffered a shoulder injury in an e-scooter incident on Oakmont Drive and was transported in a stable condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

Since new rules for personal mobility devices including e-scooters came into effect on 1 November 2022 police issued infringement notices to 780 people between 1 November and 31 December.

“E-scooters and other personal mobility devices are a convenient way to travel and are great for the environment and our tourism sector, but unfortunately, we continue to see some people do the wrong thing,“ Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said.

“Since the new rules began, almost 800 Queenslanders and tourists have been fined for offences including carrying passengers, speeding and failing to wear a helmet.

“While we want people to be able to use these devices, it’s important they’re safe for the riders and those they interact with.“ “Significant consultation with stakeholders from the PMD industry, health sector and all types of path and road users, disability advocates, local councils, RACQ and police was conducted in developing these rules – the most comprehensive in Australia.“ The key rules are: Speed limit - 12km/h on footpaths and shared paths, unless otherwise signed,

Hazards of beach driving Police are issuing a timely reminder to motorists visiting the Noosa North Shore area of the hazards of driving on beaches following a single vehicle rollover at Teewah Beach on 4 January which saw four teens hospitalised.

Around 2.30am police and emergency services were called to Teewah Beach, near the camping area at Double Island Point (camping zone 3), following a single vehicle rollover.

The dual cab utility, containing seven males aged 18 and 17 from Brisbane, rolled with two passengers airlifted to hospital with serious head, chest and back injuries and two other passengers transported to hospital with serious injuries.

Three other occupants were lucky to walk away with minor injuries.

The 17-year-old driver, from Bridgeman Downs, was issued with a Notice To Appear for alleged low range drink driving. Investigations by the Forensic Crash Unit are continuing.

Inspector Brad Inskip, Gympie Patrol Group, said police would continue to focus on the Noosa North Shore area and local beaches, such as Teewah and Rainbow, during the popular holiday period.

“Today’s crash is a reminder that driving on beaches can be hazardous, can be dangerous.

The surfaces are different from what most of us are used to and driver’s need to take extra care.”

“We also remind motorists that the same road rules apply when driving on a beach, or in national parks, as they do when driving on any street in Queensland.”

Inspector Inskip said motorists could expect to see police conducting enforcement operations throughout January.

“So far over the Christmas New Year holiday period (from 1 December-4 January) police from Gympie and the Sunshine Coast conducting traffic enforcement operations in the Noosa North Shore and surrounds have conducted more than 5500 random breath tests

Teenagers were injured in a car rollover on Noosa North Shore. and 72 random drug tests.”

“Five drink drivers and one drug driver were detected, 137 speeding tickets issued, along with 68 defective vehicle infringements and 54 people failing to wear seatbelts.”

Inspector Inskip said it was disappointing the number of people flaunting the road rules and highlighted the number of motorists detected speeding and those failing to wear seatbelts, two dangerous driving behaviours.

“You might be on holidays. You might be enjoying some of the best pristine ocean and parkland environments in the world but you can still die in a road crash by making poor choices, not driving to the conditions, not appreciating the limitations of your driving skills or acknowledging that sand driving is not the same as highway driving.”

After 68 defective vehicle infringement notices were issued, police also reminded motorists that vehicles driven off-road on beaches and parks, must also be roadworthy.

“Vehicle standards are safety standards.

“Defective or unroadworthy vehicles will be intercepted and drivers issued with infringement notices and we make no apology for that.

“Safety should be every motorists priority every time they get behind the wheel, regardless of their location.”

Police warned drivers to take care after a rollover at Teewah.

Developing problem solvers

By Dr Joël Rioux Noosa Montessori school is attracted to a common staff vision: an ultimate respect for the child.

Children work at their own pace, develop the ability to make choices, and expand their concentration for as long as they wish.

The teacher understands that the whole future comes from this single moment of concentration and cherishes this precious moment.

Children show initiative, develop their will, demonstrate independence, and display cooperative learning skills as they self-reflect and communicate with each other to solve daily life classroom situations.

For the child to be learning, there needs to be an environment fostering these Montessori principles.

The role of the Montessori teacher is a respectful facilitator, a social reformist, as was Maria Montessori, and someone who understands that all children are at different levels of development.

Learning in a Montessori classroom is assisted via especially designed Montessori materials from Europe that are age-group appropriate (3-6, 6-9, 9-12 years old).

The colourful hands-on materials are visual aids that help facilitate memory recall.

The materials support the child to move from concrete leaning to higher abstractions.

A carefully prepared environment is beautifully displayed, organised, orderly, attractive and enticing to the learner.

The Montessori learning environment provided to children lends itself to learning 21st century long life STEM skills (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) and fosters a student’s problem-solve approach.

STEM skills are critical for the Montessori child such as planning, problem solving, creativity, critical analysis, inquiry learning,

One important goal of Montessori Noosa is to promote STEM as early as possible to young children. teamwork, independent thinking, using initiative, presenting students results, digital literacy, and critical thinking skills.

These skills provide all students with the tools to succeed in the ever-evolving technology focused world.

Making it more fun and interesting, appealing to children, ‘hooking’ the primary aged cohort and engaging them for the long run.

STEM touches every aspect of our lives, from our smartphones to the technologies that enable us to explore the world around us and outer space. STEM also drives innova-

tion in. Currently, Australia is in the midst of a STEM skills shortage which will only grow more acute as technology increasingly drives the way we work and live.

To succeed in our fast-changing global economy environment and for Australia to continue to prosper into the future, our Montessori students need a strong foundation in STEM. One important goal of Montessori Noosa is to promote STEM as early as possible to young children and prepare them with STEM skills that will keep them in good stead for

their future education (prepare them for high school science and beyond).

Investigating STEM subjects in primary schools is important for promoting students’ interests in studying science in high school and pursuing STEM careers.

If your child has a love of learning, is a selfdirected learner, enjoys working with peers in a peaceful and academically challenging environment, Montessori Education might be the right fit for your family.

Bureau of Meterology (BOM) data shows 2022 was wetter and warmer than average for Australia overall, compared to weather statistics taken over a 30-year period from 1961-1990.

Nationally the mean temperature was 0.50 °C warmer than the 1961–1990 average, making 2022 the equal 22nd warmest year on record since national temperature records began in 1910 and the national rainfall was 25 per cent above the 1961–1990 annual average making 2022 the ninth-wettest year on record.

Queensland overall had 774.27 mm rainfall in 2022, as an area average across the state, which was 24.4 per cent above average and the state’s highest rainfall since 2011.

The average temperature was 0.74 °C warmer than the 1961–1990 annual average, while also being the coolest year for Queensland overall since 2012.

Rainfall was very much above average for the south-eastern quarter of the mainland, where persistent rain saw significant flooding affecting large areas, multiple times during the year.

Rainfall was below average for western Tasmania, much of the north of the Northern Territory, and the far south-west of Western Australia.

Water storage levels have been high across much of Australia during 2022, although some storages were still low for parts of central coast Queensland, western Tasmania, south-east New South Wales and western Victoria.

Annual maximum temperatures were above average for most of northern Australia, Tasmania and parts of the west coast but below average for New South Wales, southern Queensland and parts of South Australia.

Annual minimum temperatures were

The year was characterised by wetter than average conditions across much of eastern Australia. Climatologically, these conditions were consistent with the wet phase of natural climate variability for our region – namely a La Niña, a negative Indian Ocean Dipole in winter and spring, and a persistently positive phase of the Southern Annular Mode from mid-autumn.

The 2022–23 La Niña has been the third in a row. It is only the fourth time three successive La Niña events in a row have been observed in the Bureau record since 1900 (with the others being 1954–57, 1973–76, and 1998–2001).

State of the Climate 2022 found Australia is experiencing climate change now, with impacts being felt by many communities and industry sectors.

More than 600 bad drivers More than 600 drug and drink driving offences have already been detected this year as the Queensland Police Services cracks down on dangerous driving as part of a state-wide traffic enforcement operation.

Operation Charger launched on 9 December in a bid to minimise law-breaking and detect those who choose to do the wrong thing on Queensland roads.

The large-scale operation involves both high visibility and covert patrols, random breath testing and speed camera sites.

Police Minister Mark Ryan said it was disappointing to see that just over one week into the new year, the number of drink and drug drivers was already significant.

“Anyone who chooses to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can expect to be caught,” Mr Ryan said.

“It is extremely disappointing to know people continue to break the rules and continue to endanger their own lives, and the lives of other motorists.”

Queensland Police enforcement efforts have been focusing on drink and drug driving,

More than 600 drug and drink driving offences have already been detected this year. speeding, distraction, and restraints.

Acting Assistant Commissioner Chris Stream said the number of people breaking the law was concerning.

“While the majority of road users are re-

sponsible, since the start of the year, 4980 motorists have been fined or will face court for allegedly breaking the law and putting themselves and other motorists at risk,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Stream said.

“And the Operation is not over yet. Police will continue to be out in force as part of this crackdown until January 29, and every day after that.”

“The message is simple - if you drink and drive, speed or break road rules – expect to see us.”

Minister Ryan said the 2023 road toll was already off to a devastating start.

“Five people are not coming home to their loved ones following fatal accidents already this year,” Minister Ryan said.

“Even one life lost on Queensland roads is one too many.

“We had a horror road toll last year, with 299 people killed and we do not want to see that happen again this year. I urge all motorist to obey the road rules and take care while driving.

“This operation is about getting all road users home safely, and ensuring the message is clear – if you do the wrong thing, you can expect to be caught.

“The State Government will always support the QPS in its efforts to reduce the road toll.”

Wildflower walk in the park

By Margie Maccoll A wildflower walk in the national park with Associate Professor Dr Susan Davis is much more than your average bushwalk.

Having spent a number of years working on the power of the arts and creativity to enhance learning, for which she was last year awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM), Dr Davis recently began hosting wildflower walks as part of her Wild/flower Women project which was born out of work with the Noosa Biosphere and community groups.

The walks enable participants to discover more about local wildflowers, about each other and hear some interesting stories about the people and places connected to some of Noosa’s nicest places.

With the assistance of her son, Jackson, Dr Davis last Sunday hosted a wildflower walk through Girraween Sunshine Beach and Noosa Today went along.

The area from Noosa headland national park to Sunshine Beach was designated an Aboriginal reserve in the 1870s, she told the group of walkers.

When the designation was revoked, some of the land was sold off for farming. A large section at Sunshine Beach was bought by businessmen TM Burke and subdivided in the 1920s. Then called Golden Beach, the land was hard to sell so people were given the opportunity to pay off their plots over 20 years.

But in the 1930s with rates unpaid a lot of land passed into council hands and, over the years, sections have been carved off for services such as schools, churches and aged care, she said.

It wasn’t until the 1960s that Girraween became recognised as a wildflower area at a time when in the summer flowering season some of the most sought after blossoms, Christmas Bells (Blandfordia grandiflora) could be seen in their thousands.

In 1953, wildflower artist Kathleen McArthur set herself the task of recording all the native plants in bloom across key locations of the Sunshine Coast region, a project which fed into numerous publications including weekly newspaper columns and books.

A wildflowering expedition with her friend, poet Judith Wright in the same year to the peak of Mt Tinbeerwah, provided the spark of the idea for a national park at Cooloola.

“They looked north and said this would make a great national park,“ Dr Davis said.

As guests wandered along the path Dr Davis pointed out native flowering plants that are easily missed by the casual observer, such as Shepherd’s Crook (Geodorum densiflorum), a delicate orchid, or a Wallum banksia (Banksia aemula), after which the heathland or wallum, as it was known by the local Aborigianals, was named.

“It’s the tallest tree on the edge of the

wallum. It’s warty bark was used for dying and strengthening nets, and its flowers were dipped in water to make a sweet, fermented drink,“ she said.

“The cones go all hairy and were used as models for Mary Gibbs (Snugglebot and Cuddlepie) Banksia men.“ Dr Davis referred several times during the morning walk to Kathleen McArthur and Judith Wright, pioneer conservationists, who in the 1970s fought one of Australia’s first major conservation battles, at the time against Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen to retain Cooloola, an area from Noosa to Rainbow Beach, for national park.

From her home in Caloundra Kathleen created national awareness of the existence of the Cooloola region, which at the time was under threat from sandmining and development, in a campaign that involved the distribution of 100,000 protest cards, 15,000 being sent to the Queensland Premier.

Noosa conservationist Arthur Harold described Kathleen at the time as the “cunning mind” behind the cards.

As we passed a medium-sized bush with a mass of white flowers Dr Davis told the walkers Kathleen named her house Midyim after the flower (Austromyrtus dulcis).

The wallum is a mix of mud and sandy soil, low in nutrients and highly acidic.

Plants have to adapt to be quite hardy, Dr Davis said. The Midyim is an example of

just such a hardy plant that pushes out its abundant blossoms in its process of refertilisation and reproduction, creating in the process berries which make “good bush food“.

The Wallum banksia is also perfectly adapted to the region. Requiring fire to pop open its seed pods after flowering the trees’ lumpy bark both protects the tree from fire and provides a trail for the fire directing it upward to its flowers.

In 2019 bushfires raged through some of Noosa’s Wallum areas. Since then Dr Davis has watched the land recover with some of the most spectacular displays of wildflowers occurring just two years after the fires.

Dr Davis is an Adjunct Associate Professor and former Deputy Dean Research for the School of Education and the Arts at CQ University.

She is also a founding member of the Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance, now recognised as the peak arts and industry group on the Sunshine Coast.

The Wild/flower Women project involves exhibitions, workshops with visiting artists as well as wildflower walks.

The next wildflower walk at Girraween Sunshine Beach, a two and a half hour walk from Bicentennial hall to the police station, and including morning tea will be held on Sunday 22 January.

Holiday fun at the Hub Noosa’s tech-loving youngsters have been heading to the Peregian Beach Digital Hub these holidays for an action-packed program of creating, inventing and having fun with the latest technology.

The Hub’s holiday program which continues until 22 January has a wide variety of courses for girls and boys aimed at various ages and taught by some of the region’s most talented teenage technologists who through the Hub’s cadetship and mentoring programs earn holiday money by sharing their technological know-how with other kids.

On Tuesday hub cadets and 3D design enthusiasts Zac and Finn taught a group of Year 9s how to bring their imagination to life and open up new pathways into CAD design and 3D printing.

After learning the basics of Fusion 360, the software used widely in manufacturing and design, kids created rubber-band powered cars and a few of their own designed objects.

A variety of workshops are on offer at the Hub from robotics to digital design to learning how to program.

For more information or to book your spot in a workshop visit peregianhub.com.au/ learn/

Mum’s mission for heroes A Queensland mum who was last year awarded a major accolade for her work for the stroke community is urging others to nominate worthy contenders for the 2023 Stroke Foundation Stroke Awards.

Nicole Baker was named the 2022 Fundraiser of the Year after raising almost $5000 during Stroke Foundation’s physical activity campaign, Stride4Stroke.

The Stroke Awards recognise the incredible individuals in our community who strive to make the future brighter for people impacted by stroke.

The Fundraiser of the Year category particularly recognises those who have gone above and beyond in fundraising for the Stroke Foundation, which is more than 70 per cent funded by public donations.

Nicola’s now 19-year-old son Jed experienced a life changing stroke when he was 11 months old. He was later diagnosed with a rare

brain condition called MoyaMoya.

So passionate about the cause, Nicola created her own foundation and has helped raised funds and awareness about the disease.

“It was an honour for me to be nominated for the award. I love doing work for Stroke Foundation and to have somebody recognise that means a lot to me,” Ms Baker said.

“I love the support that I’ve received over the years, I’ve made some very dear friends in the stroke community and made some invaluable relationships. So much has changed since Jed’s first stroke in September 2004.

Back then we thought stroke was something that happened to the elderly. Since that time, we have managed to educate and inform many people.

“They are shocked to hear my baby had a stroke. It was a very big thing to have gone through. I’m so thankful he’s still here. Jed has

a future, he’s taller than me and has recently graduated year 12.”

The Stroke Awards are open to survivors of stroke, carers, volunteers, fundraisers, health professionals and researchers.

There are six award categories this year including the Stroke Warrior Award, Courage Award, Creative Award, Fundraiser of the Year Award, Improving Life after Stroke Award and the Volunteer of the Year Award.

Nomination close on 17 February. Winners will be announced at the Stroke Foundation Stroke Awards on Thursday 4 May. Nominate today via the Stroke Foundation website.

Local business legends reveal divorce heartache A new video podcast series featuring some of the country’s most beloved sports stars and local business leaders opening up about their heartbreaking relationship breakdowns launched on 29 November.

Fortified: Lessons on Love and Divorce, created by Sunshine Coast’s Toomey Family Law, aims to lift the veil on celebrity divorces to help open up a much-needed conversation about the separation process and potential heartbreaking consequences.

“One of the hardest things a person can go through is the dismantling of their family unit. Their whole world is turned upside down – and it can destroy people and the

lives of their children,” Toomey Family Law director and former children’s lawyer, Lesia Toomey said.

“Despite the fact around 50 per cent of all marriages end in divorce, there is still a stigma around it which can force people into hiding just how traumatic this process can be. This series is about celebrities sharing their stories and hard-learned lessons, so others can move forward with more courage, wisdom and solace,” she added.

The first four episodes feature Ms Toomey sharing her three decades of experience as a family lawyer, as well as interviews with Former Queenslander cricketer Ashley Noffke,

world champion iron woman Kristy Munroe and iconic Sunshine Coast local businessman Tristan Kurz.

“The biggest emotion that plays havoc on everything is love. And because divorce is so prevalent, we have a tendency to underestimate how horrific it is emotionally,” admitted Mr Kurz.

Cricketing champion, Mr Noffke agrees.

“There are key lessons I had to learn the hard way that I wish someone had shared with me. Had they, I could have potentially avoided a lot of pain for myself and my family,” he said.

Topics covered in the series include rec-

ognising the signs of domestic violence early and having the courage to leave, how selfcare is key for mental and emotional wellbeing and how seeking the right family lawyer can mean the difference between happiness and prologued heartache.

“I hope that people who watch this can avoid the mistakes I made or seek the help they need to heal.. because everyone deserves happiness - especially our children,” Ms Munroe said.

Fortified: Lessons on Love and Divorce will be released in stages over the coming months, with episode one available on Facebook, YouTube and Podbean.

The Guide FBI: INTERNATIONAL 10, Saturday, 8.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK

This high-octane crime drama follows a team of elite operatives as they put their lives on the line to neutralise global threats and protect the United States. In tonight’s first episode, “Secrets As Weapons”, the team investigates when a billionaire’s cryptocurrency wallet is hijacked en route to a safety vault in Switzerland.

Then, in “American Optimism”, the crew look into the murky case of a US citizen in hot water in Madrid. He’s proclaiming his innocence after seeking sanctuary at the US embassy while still covered in the blood of his murdered Spanish boyfriend. Stars Luke Kleintank (pictured) and Heida Reed.

McENROE Nine, Sunday, 8pm

The Australian tennis event of the year, the Australian Open, is set to capture the nation’s attention from tomorrow, and this gripping documentary is the perfect apéritif before the oncourt action. As the original bad boy of the sport, controversial American player John McEnroe (pictured) enthralled with his finesse, but divided fans with his epic outbursts and explosive temper. In this moody and insightful exploration, director Barney Douglas reveals an entirely different side to McEnroe as the champion player offers frank and remarkable insights. Also featuring his wife, Patty Smyth, it’s the foul-mouthed, curly haired tennis star as you’ve never seen him before.

BEST OF BRITAIN WITH AINSLEY AND GRACE SBS Food, Tuesday, 8.30pm

UNDER COVER ABC TV, Monday, 8.30pm

The statistics are devastating: women over 55 are the fastest growing group of homeless people in Australia, with more than 250,000 women at risk of homelessness.

This emotional documentary from director Sue Thomson (The Coming Back Out Ball Movie) reveals the faces behind these alarming numbers. Narrated by homegrown Hollywood star Margot Robbie, it’s a compelling, heartbreaking insight into the often secret lives of a diverse group of 10 Australian women, including Cheryl and Linda (both pictured). Shattering myths and misconceptions of homelessness, it opens viewers’ eyes to life’s complications and how society has let these women down.

The world – well, the coast of Britain – is chefs Ainsley Harriott and Grace Dent’s oyster in this fresh, seaside series. The intrepid foodies with a taste for fun check out some of the most beautiful holiday spots along with their delicious fare, with Devon on tonight’s itinerary. It’s no wonder the duo can’t stop smiling; not long into the episode, they get to devour hand-dived scallops. They also admire a hotel on its very own island and tuck into mushy pea fritters in an idyllic spot on the Exe estuary. Animal lovers rest assured: when Ainsley and Grace meet a family of otters they befriend them, rather than eat them. It’s hungry-making and heartwarming fare.

Our People Ron Lane

Former team members came to honour their team mate.

Mick Plant

Tribute to lovable warrior Someone once said that men are like gun barrels. No two are the same. And we thank God for that. Imagine what life would be like if we were. No excitement, boring and definitely not progressive: and in particular if you were trying to build a club from the ground up.

All founding members thinking the same.

The program would bog down in no time: and never again to rise out of the ashes. So it was, that with a definite strong mind of his own, in 1975 Mick Plant, became one of the founding members of the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club.

He was approached by the Christensen family and others to form a club in Cooroy Noosa.

He was appointed Captain /Coach and led the Pirates to two grand finals, being successful in the second: thus, winning the premiership in 1977. With regards to the fund-raising aspect, he was a bit of a larrikin: a man who enjoyed a punt and would not hesitate to run Under and Overs to raise money for the club.

According to his daughter Julie, he retired in 1997 (after their premiership win) with his mate Kerry Knowles. ‘’’Dad loved the Pirates and loved being a mentor to the players: including his youngest grandson Luca, who played with the Pirates from under 6s, to this year’s U8.’’

He started his junior football with South Sydney Fernleigh’s and Paddington Colts football club, junior program. He went on to play with Eastern Suburbs Roosters from 1967-1970 and made headlines as the ‘ Hairy Hippie that makes Easts happy.’ During this time, he went on to play in PNG for Paga Hill in 1968.

He played three A grade games in 1970 and was player #613, before losing his contract at Easts the reason being for a disagreement with President Ron Jones over his long hair and probably larrikin behaviour. It was then that he moved to Queensland and joined Nambour South’s from 1971-1974. From Souths he made the Sunshine Coast ,Wide Bay and Qld Country teams.

In 2008, he was named in the Team of the Century for QRL Wide Bay. Away from football, Mick loved training and racing greyhounds and racing pigeons. He also developed a taste for drinking Diet Coke, and of late, a love of doing crossword octarchies. But most important was his love of family and time spent with friends.

“He was known as a larrikin and all-round top bloke, was the life of the party and loved nothing better than to tell the old stories. His love of family, was second to none and he would do anything for them. A great grand-father, hard but firm, but under it all a big softy.”

26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 January, 2023

Family and friends attended a celebration of Mick Plant’s life at Noosa Pirates Clubhouse.

As a footballer, he will be remembered by his team mates for his big hits: and even on the playing field, his larrikin behaviour. As a story teller his favourite yarn was in telling of the time he chased a football referee off the field.

He was playing in a grand final for Paddington Colts and was sent off, because of his very first tackle in the first minute of play.

The story goes that dad went in for a youbeaut stiff-arm tackle, and the opposition player took a dive: the ref fell for it and sent dad from the field. His immediate response was that if he was off, then the ref was too. He then proceeded to chase the ref from the field.

This, I am sure could only happen in the World of the Hairy Hippie.

On another occasion, Mick, who had a love of snakes, took his collection into the bar of the Cooroy Hotel and turned them loose on the bar room floor. In no time the bar was his and he was able to have a quite drink. Totally un-interrupted Mick Plant was a very proud granddad to seven grandkids, two girls and five boys, aged from eight to 18. Mick grew up in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, but fell in love with Queensland.

In 1970 he moved to Eumundi and purchased a home for $3000. During this time, he worked for the local railway as a track greaser and also as a bouncer for all the local pubs in the Noosa Cooroy area. His spare time saw him training and racing greyhounds.

However, in 1982 he moved back to Sydney where he worked on the docks as a security guard. He was made redundant during the time of Patrick stevedores strikes. He again returned to Queensland in 1998 to enjoy retirement and once again involved himself in training and racing his beloved greyhounds.

In acknowledging the attendance of his family and friends who gathered to celebrate

To his three children and 11 grandchildren Mick Plant was the best dad and granddad - ever. his life at his beloved Noosa Pirates Club House 27 December, daughter Julie said, “We are completely overwhelmed with the love and respect shown for dad. He will definitely be remembered as one of the great footy play-

ers on the coast.”

The strong, loyal, colourful, larrikin characteristics of Mick Plant, has definitely been a major factor in the success of this great club.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Leave the car at home Once again there is much delay and frustration caused by holiday traffic along the approaches to Noosa Main Beach.

Traffic jams occur at many other popular beaches but are particularly severe at Noosa because of limited space, dead end roads and increasing visitor traffic, including day trippers from outside the Shire.

It is said that the Noosa gridlock can be alleviated by more people leaving their cars at home and switching to the free buses. But if something is already free, what further incentives will persuade more people to take the bus? Pay the passengers to ride on the bus?

Moreover, for every car that voluntarily comes off the road, there will be several more to take its place.

If the problem is bad now, what will it be like in 10 years’ time? Clearly, any public transport solution will require dedicated bus lanes so that the buses are not crawling along in the same queue as the cars. However, the existing narrow road and bridge infrastructure rules out any realistic separation of buses from private vehicles.

There have been proposals along the lines that more roads and bridges be built to improve traffic flow into the Main Beach area. In other words, give the family SUV more room to roam.

However, this does not address the parking problem because most people who drive into the area want to park and get out of their vehicles. As for the idea that ratepayers be given access and parking privileges to the exclusion of other motorists - well, if you want to make people really angry then start discriminating against them.

There are no quick fixes to the current problem, but somehow it must involve people leaving their cars at home or wherever they are staying. At some time in the future a Council may bite the bullet and, hopefully, it will not involve massive expenditures on car park buildings and the like. Just imagine Hastings Street as a popular pedestrian mall, and Noosa Woods as a nature reserve free of cars.

Noosa’s LGA ranking The federal government’s Bureau of Communications, Arts and Regional Research (BCARR) has released a report comparing the 12 LGAs of South-East Queensland across various indices, including population, housing, jobs, connectivity and liveability. The 282-page report is available on the bureau’s website.

Not surprisingly, Noosa was among the sub-regions with the highest dwelling price-toincome ratios and, therefore, is one of the least affordable places to live in SEQ. Among its peers, Noosa Shire ranked 12 (dead last) on the education index, most probably due to the poor level of accessibility local students have to TAFE or university study.

Noosa Council has set itself a goal of making ‘riding a bike and walking so convenient and safe that it is the preferred mode of transport for residents and visitors.’ The BCARR ranked Noosa fourth lowest in its walkability scoring. The number of workers who use active transport modes (walk/cycle) to get to work in the Shire stands at 4.4 per cent, which exceeds those who use public transport (2.7 per cent) for this purpose. Should the funding focus switch from free bus travel to communities better connected by shared bicycle paths?

The bureau placed Noosa Shire ninth in its measure of ‘health and infrastructure’ and seventh in the area of arts and culture. Clearly, we have a way to go to achieve the Noosa Cultural Plan ideal for arts and our communal history ‘to be positive forces fostering individual wellbeing and building social cohesion.’

Our Shire did not do well on the measure of ‘community and sports’ either – eighth out of 12. One area we excelled at was ‘access to public space’: the second highest among SEQ councils in 2018. However, whereas 60.7 per cent of houses across Noosa Shire met the benchmark for access to public open space, just 23.3 per cent of households in the Noosa Hinterland had the same advantage.

The sleeper issue identified by the research was the requirement to cater to the needs of 65+ residents, who will comprise 32.9 per cent of Noosa’s total population in 2041 – by then the highest in SEQ. (Exacerbated by a younger cohort having to pursue post-secondary studies and a career outside Noosa Shire.) Noosa will hit its notional ‘population cap’ of 65,000 in less than 20 years, within current planning horizons.

Clearly, there’s room for improvement.

Where have the insects gone?

My concerns at the Moment are about Insects – all Insects.

Scientists are predicting that we have to rely on eating insects as a food source in the future.

I have been driving a couple of thousands kilometres lately in Queensland and NSW and after one week I had no Insects on my windscreen, not one.

Why? My question is, what do birds feed on?

If birds cannot find insects now how are we supposed to eat insects in the future as a food supply?

I have travelled Asia and eaten insects where there was no short supply of. (Just recently in Pattaya at a Food Festival: lots of stalls offered grilled, bbq or marinated insects as delicacies). If they have no shortage, how come Australia has got no Insects?

How are we here in Australia going about food shortages when we have no insects?

I appreciate honest answers please.

STA approvals a disaster It’s unclear whether Mayor Clare Stewart has been badly informed or has forgotten that in this term Council has approved many more than 18 short stay accommodation (STA) businesses (Noosa Today 6 January).

According to Council’s own Short Term Ac-

commodation Monitoring Report (2022) in the two years since the adoption of the Noosa Plan 2020 this Council did indeed approve 18 new STA and 108 properties were granted existing rights. What Mayor Stewart has failed to disclose is that according to that report in those two years the number of STA in Noosa grew by 307.

A whopping 214 new approvals were granted for STA, most in low density zones under the superseded plan provisions, 183 of them in the Noosaville to Sunrise Beach precincts. The 18 that came before Council from medium density zones and the existing rights approvals she mentions pale into insignificance when the potential time bomb of those 214 new approvals coming online is taken into account. This is a disaster for the Noosa community. The result of the 2020 Plan has been a massive increase in STA approvals in low density zones, further reducing the available accommodation for long term residents, especially renters.

Reality of 2023 The other day as dawn was breaking over our

beautiful beach, I saw the light.

A wave of enlightenment swept over me like Paul on the Road to Damascus as I realised: Phil Jarratt actually could write an article in less than 1000 words without including himself; Steve Hall’s obsessive obfuscations over climate change were based on reality rather than an unproven hypothesis tied to dodgy computer modelling; Margaret Wilkie’s constant woke “just sayings” express sound logic.

On the national scene, Albo really would be able to deliver on his pre-election promise of a very specific $275 reduction in power prices; his Climate Minister Chris Bowen could conduct a rational press conference without flailing his arms around like one of his favourite wind turbines, while assuring us that the wind and the sun are free...

Then our dog barked and I woke up. Yeah, right, welcome to reality, 2023!

Do the maths Dear Steve, haven’t we had enough about the death rattle due to our 1 per cent of global fossil fuel emissions versus China’s 30 per cent.

When will you understand it is our exported fossil fuel which is causing carbon emissions round the world?

Just NOT in Australia!

Have you done the math yet to calculate how much energy it takes to engineer, export and erect the turbines and solar panels on often, prime farm land?

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

And the massive high tension steel equipment to transfer this coal and gas reliant energy to very expensive, environmentally damaging, storage batteries, compared to the energy actually produced for Australia’s use?

Well we have been over and over this so how about a change of topic.

You accuse Brian of being afraid of change.

Maybe for a change you can explain something which puzzles me.

Why is Australia short of employable workers?

My understanding is that we need thousands of migrants (from where)? to top up our work force and boost our economy.

Thousands of small businesses were forced to close during lock-downs, leaving only those large enough to survive and leaving thousands unemployed and on pensions.

Plus the corporations such as Woolworths who own not only the food outlets, but petrol, alcohol, pokies, hardware and other less known commodities.

Digital self serving has reduced the staffing needs. Our Government paid billions of presumably tax payers’ dollars to people who had lost their jobs.

But surely those people can return to the workforce now?

I have heard, that OAPs may be allowed to return to the workforce whilst retaining the full pension? (I am an OAP so presumably can use this antiquated term).

Steve, I may not have my facts quite right, but with a little of your amazing research you may be able to shed some light on this conundrum.

But the most worrying is the minimal information forthcoming from our Government regarding The Voice. But that discussion is for another day. And as a final post script: yesterday, by fate, coincidence or a gift from the gods, a book came to my hands, called Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth by Elana Freeland.

Steve, you would love all the information about climate. Perhaps order from the library.

OPINION

Fossil fuel reliance Mr Steve Hall has branded me as one of the “biomass of climate change deniers” as though I haven’t noticed the cyclic change in climate and weather over the years that I’ve spent on this earth.

If he means that I’m sceptical about the anthropogenic destruction of the planet, then he’s correct.

My conservative view (as Mr Hall puts it) stems from the well known fact that science is plagued by the confirmation and cognitive bias, under the influence of which one seeks only evidence that would support one’s hypothesis, and failing to search for evidence that would undermine or falsify it.

As this global insanity prevails, we are now going to be subjected to “15-Minute” cities; or by any other name, “Climate Lockdowns”.

Since people have been willing to accept incarceration over the past couple of years, this should suit Mr Hall and his bike rides as long as he doesn’t wander outside his designated zone more than 100 times a year.

Check out what’s happening in Oxford and Canterbury in England, Paris and other cities including Melbourne, called “The Melbourne Experiment” overseen by the UN and Monash University.

The insanity mix includes Bill Gates’ experiment to “Dim the Sun” by high altitude aircraft exuding light-reflecting particles, which will partially block the sun’s rays to earth. You couldn’t make this stuff up.

It’s obvious to me that the Steve Halls of the world are devoid of critical thought and will happily go along with the mass of lemmings to the cliff’s edge.

I would like Mr Hall to answer a simple question: Can he please look around his living room, or house and count the number of inorganic man-made products NOT derived directly or indirectly from oil or coal?

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

On The Soapbox Cooroy Area Residents Association president Rod Ritchie

Building better tourism Build Back Better Tourism is a UN-backed initiative, supported by the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC), proposing recovery plans for the tourism sector which integrates sustainability aspects to forward planning for a more resilient industry.

The initiative includes diversifying products, identifying best practices for hotels on future Covid responses, and considering the health impacts of increased visitation on residents in the new tourism era.

Many popular destinations around the world are planning for future tourism industries that take the amenity of residents into account. Listening to the residents who suffer higher rents, traffic congestion and disrupted neighbourhoods, and to the ratepayers who foot the bill for tourism marketing, free busses, and lavish tourism infrastructure along with its upkeep, leads to better, more engaged communities with a better stake in their future.

It’s no longer good enough for an industry to just use a destination for their own purposes without consulting the various stakeholders, including First Nations people.

Pivoting from the newly adopted policy of marketing to high value, low volume visitors, in 2019, Tourism Noosa had no option but to chase the domestic drive market once borders closed in 2020.

The majority of these visitors were shortstay visitors. Essentially, this led to a boom in drive-in, day-visitors, from within the state.

Residents found themselves stuck in traffic jams that they only previously knew in peak holiday periods.

These peak periods extended throughout the year. Naturally enough, local infrastructure struggled to cater for this expanded market. When interstate travel restrictions were lifted at the end of 2021, an extra visitor cohort added to this congestion.

Tourism Noosa appears to be disinterested in true environmental sustainability.

To date their tree-planting program has sequestrated 720 tonnes of CO2. However, each year hundreds of thousands of tonnes of CO2 are emitted by local, interstate and international visitors to Noosa.

Too often, when it comes to promoting the shire, we get presented with greenwashed experiences which are mostly marketing exercises.

As to sustainability of our infrastructure, particularly our roads network, and to social sustainability, where the fabric of our social networks and resident amenity is, we hear nothing.

So, what exactly does build back better mean, better for business or better for the visi-

Rod Ritchie, CARA president tor? Both, it turns out. Obviously, consumers lead visitor trends that those in the industry best learn to follow, but there’s nothing like a prolonged absence of visitors to help define what a new tourism era might include.

Towards sustainability An overall strategy and roadmap for tourism, based on sustainability, means first defining sustainability.

So often economic sustainability trumps environmental and social sustainability.

It should primarily mean setting acceptable limits on visitation through levers that we can control and ones which align with our local economic plan and our strategies for the environment, and transport, and the Noosa Plan.

In the 2019 council-funded survey of residents’ attitudes to tourism, significantly less than 50 per cent of residents were happy with the way tourism had developed, and less than 30 per cent of residents supported growth in the tourism sector.

In July 2022 council convened a Project

Control Group to guide Noosa’s new Destination Management Plan. The group has lofty aims to examine all aspects of the economy, “exploring ways to enrich the lives of its people and their place through a well-managed and sustainable destination”.

Consisting of council staff, three councillors, industry representatives and three appointed resident stakeholders, the group has not released minutes of its work to date.

Each of the remaining 26 resident applicants were invited to be part of a community reference panel. The composition of both groups combined appears weighted towards the tourism industry.

Short term accommodation The pandemic was the perfect storm for the short-term accommodation revolution that began with digital booking sites 10 years ago.

Travellers saw the advantage of holidaying in self-contained properties away from the crowds of resort foyers, dining rooms and pools.

Noosa residents, who generally tolerated home-hosted accommodation, found wholehouse lets turned their quiet streets into tourist accommodation zones.

The powerful tourism industry lobby scored an own goal supporting this accommodation type, since it decimated accommodation options for hospitality workers. The double whammy of unaffordable accommodation, low wages and poor work conditions has seen hospitality staffing issues become critical.

Council bylaws were put in place to ameliorate the situation, but with over 5000 properties in the STA pool, there may be insufficient resources to control an industry which is altering suburban life on the coast.

State and local governments have been kicking the can down the road on this issue for a while now with studies and laws that may not be enough to effect change in popular tourist destinations like Noosa.

Meanwhile, existing rights and superseded planning provisions represent a time bomb of future approvals. The planning changes in relation to STA in low density zones has resulted in hundreds of new approvals.

Residents are concerned that changes now being mooted for medium and high density will not curb STA, but instead result in a massive influx of approvals under the superseded plan provisions.

Plan for change Tourism will undoubtedly change quite radically over the course of the next decade leading up to Brisbane 2032. The South East Queensland population boom will solidify Noosa as a drive destination, and the goal of high value, low volume visitors will vanish.

This year, more than any other, has shown us how bad traffic congestion can become.

Same old, same old is not building back better.

Destinations implementing plans for a more resilient, sustainable future will fare better and be more competitive compared to those looking to simply pivot back to older models and hope for the best.

But, if the community is to be at the centre of planning, then it’s up to the community to demand this, because the industry and council seem only interested in promoting tourism.

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s to be aware of future black swan events, be nimble enough to adapt, and take onboard the trust of residents who, along with their environment, should be at the centre of planning efforts, more so than before.

In fact, they should remain central to all the Destination Management groups aim to achieve.

Riverine recovery funding now available More than $19 million in disaster assistance is now available to repair damaged riverine areas following severe flooding which impacted large areas of Queensland in early 2022.

Stage 2 of the Riverine Recovery Program to repair flood-damaged riverine, wetland and riparian environments is joint-funded under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Federal Minister for Emergency Management, Murray Watt, said the program will enable eligible natural resource management bodies, bulk water supply utilities and First Nations corporations to undertake significant works to support the recovery of some of Queensland’s iconic natural areas.

“Floods like we saw last year impact communities in a range of ways, and restoring our environment is an important part of the recovery process,” Minister Watt said.

30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 January, 2023

“River health plays a crucial role in supporting some of our most precious marine areas including the Southern Great Barrier Reef and Moreton Bay and these impacted waterways contain important, delicate in-stream ecosystems.

Queensland Acting Premier Steven Miles said the funding would in particular support environmental recovery in riverine areas across South East and Central Queensland impacted by multiple severe weather events.

“Under Stage 2 of the program, funding is available for recovery works including bank repair and stabilisation for erosion control, and native vegetation plantings to restore natural ecosystem functions.

Queensland Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the recovery and health of Queensland’s riverine areas was vital to supporting critical habitats for fauna and flora, as well the recreational

enjoyment of Queenslanders.

“As part of the now-complete Stage 1 of the Riverine Recovery Program, eligible groups carried out reconnaissance work to better understand the damage caused to their local waterways by the severe weather events of last summer, including erosion and displaced vegetation, and the works needed to rectify the damage.”

Applications opened on 10 January and close 24 February, with successful grant applicants aiming to begin their on-ground works from April 2023, to be completed by June 2024 and can be lodged for the Riverine Recovery Program: Stage 2 works grants through the Department of Environment and Science’s online grant portal.

OPINION

Buses, bikes, bridges etc

By Phil Jarratt Right after the festive season comes the whinging season when Noosa locals complement wining and dining with whining and moaning about the state of our town during peak tourist season.

It happens every year, of course, but having (more or less) reached critical mass over the Covid summers and maintained it, bettered it or worsened it – depending on who you talk to - these past couple of weeks, locals are not just maintaining the rage, they are taking it next level.

The fact that we had good surf and sunny weather, albeit very windy, over the holidays only compounded what was always going to be a very congested period.

Predictably, social media groaned under the weight of resentment of the evil tourist hordes while coulda-woulda-shoulda so-called solutions got loonier by the letter.

Bridges are big this year – not just one to the North Shore, which we’ll get to later, but the hoary old chestnut about a full-scale bridge joining the Woods and the Sound again and again, and if not a full-scale bridge maybe a pedestrian walkway with everyone parking along Noosa Parade.

Yeah, nah, let’s forget that one.

Of course, while most of the solutions floated on Facebook and elsewhere are old and have more rejection slips than a freelance writer (and I ought to know), by no means all of them are silly.

One Hastings Street worker suggested a free ferry service for workers in the precinct, which seems reasonable. There have been other sensible ideas, I’m sure, but right now I can’t find them.

What I did find, with a bit of Googling, was that the post-festive search for congestion solutions has been going on for decades, and sometimes it throws up a solid argument, such as last January’s contribution from thinking local Judy Barrass, who posited on the Open Noosa website that it was time to get the big stick out to enforce behavioural change.

She wrote: “It seems to me our council has played around with the idea of bike lanes and free buses for long enough. Behaviour is not changing, so it’s time to consider compulsion.

If you want cars to stay away from the beach precinct, make it harder for them, make it so darn hard the alternatives look better. Paid parking is not going to do it. What we need is to not use the Lions Park, restrict parking elsewhere in the precinct, and have a big sign at the entrance to Noosa Drive/Parade or preferably at the entrance to Noosa saying beach parking full – like they do at the State Library, or the Art Gallery, or The Ekka. And then give viable travel alternatives. It would be chaotic for a while, but I think it would end up making Noosa a better place to live and to visit.”

Hear, hear Judy, but before you start using that big stick, let’s look at whether any locals are bussing or biking to the beach voluntarily.

Regarding the former, I had to look no fur-

Tom and Margie Wegener with loop bus driver Calvin Clarke of Get Geared Up driving school. ther than our surfing Councillor Tom Wegener, who used the free bus loop during the Christmas/New Year swell event and won’t shut up about it, posting on Noosa Community Notice Board: “I just took a ride on the Free Noosa Loop Bus at high tourist time. It was pleasant, air-conditioned, nice music and full.

“The bus was electric as well.

“I was happy to see a family with a wagon with all the beach gear welcomed onboard.

This family had parked at the footy grounds which had lots of free space. At the highest traffic time, and with the Lion’s Park filled, the loop took a half hour.

“This is a result of a visionary, ambitious transport strategy and it is working!”

Eager to see the visionary strategy at work, and also to make sure he was actually getting on the bus, I arranged to meet Tom at the AFL ground before we had a surf. And yes, there were plenty of parking spots and yes, he and wife Margie got on the bus. In fact Tom told me that on one of the swell’s peak days, he drove to First Point, dropped his board off, drove back to the AFL grounds, parked his car, caught the bus on its next loop, grabbed his board and paddled out, and was still in the line-up 20 minutes ahead of his mate, who had driven around the Hastings Street precinct for more than an hour looking for a park.

While thorough analysis of Tom’s test suggests that he may have been simultaneously if inadvertently part of the problem as well as part of the solution, it also points to a slight

flaw in the uptake of the free bus system, which is that longboarders, who make up at least half of the surfers using the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, can’t take their boards on the bus.

A simple solution would be a board trailer or cage towed behind.

Maybe next season?

Whether many locals used the free bus is a matter for conjecture, but one driver I spoke to assured me that the service carried 10,000 people over Christmas/New Year week. It will be interesting to see the official figures.

Meanwhile, I can report that plenty of locals are taking to e-bikes, scooters and mopeds to get to the surf, because I’m one of them.

Having dismissed the trusty e-bike as too dangerous for surfboard transport, I am the proud owner of a matt black Fonz Arthur model e-moped with custom board rack. And I love it!

Yes, scooter parks are sometimes scarce, but compared to finding a car park, it’s a breeze.

Finally, let’s get back to that North Shore bridge idea, which gets a run every time the ferry queue stretches beyond Moorindil Street and through Tewantin village, which it did on a couple of occasions over the holidays.

The suggestion this season is that such a bridge would be for the use of North Shore residents and a few permit holders.

Wait, what?

Dream on folks, there will be no bridge and before we know it whingeing season will be over and we’ll all be back at work.

Luxurious cabins at lodge The Crocodile Hunter Lodge offers a magical overnight experience for guests while being surrounded by wildlife and wilderness, with stunning one-bedroom cabins introduced in addition to the existing two-bedroom Black Cockatoo cabins.

Inspired by Steve Irwin’s life, legacy and love for wildlife and wild places, The Crocodile Hunter Lodge provides luxurious accommodation, helping guests escape and unwind while reconnecting with the natural world.

The one-bedroom Red Kangaroo cabins offer a wonderful scenic view of the bushland, including a wrap-around deck, kitchen, stone bathtub and heated floors, creating the ultimate experience for guests to cherish.

Australia Zoo’s Terri Irwin said, “We’re delighted to introduce four wonderful one-bedroom cabins for guests, which will help us cater to groups of different sizes.“ “The Lodge offers a unique and immersive experience that not only reflects on our conservation work, but honours Steve’s important dream to connect people with wildlife and encourage them to become true conservationists.”

The Lodge’s Red Kangaroo cabins are particularly suited for couples as they enjoy a refreshing retreat at their home away from home, waking up to the sounds of wildlife from their spacious deck and watching the kangaroos graze on the grass.

Each cabin contains Bindi Irwin’s book, Creating a Conservation Legacy which discusses Australia Zoo’s remarkable history, and Robert Irwin’s photography book, Robert Irwin’s Australia, which exhibits powerful imagery and its profound connection to wildlife conservation.

Guests will find nest boxes placed around their cabin for microbats, owls, kookaburras, possums and parrots, creating a special home for them in the wild where they belong.

Guests staying at The Crocodile Hunter Lodge receive complimentary breakfast and a welcome gift pack, exclusive access to The Billabong, a 25 metre infinity pool, unlimited entry to Australia Zoo and a Sneak Peek tour of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.

An extraordinary multi-species habitat at the Lodge is home to red kangaroos, emus and koalas, while a wild mob of eastern grey kangaroos can be seen hopping around the Lodge each day.

Located at The Crocodile Hunter Lodge is Warrior Restaurant and Bar, which offers a fine dining experience from all that Australia’s culinary world has to offer.

Wildlife conservationist Bindi Irwin said, “Warrior Restaurant and Bar provides an excellent fine dining experience for everyone, not just guests staying at the Lodge, and includes a private dining room to celebrate special occasions.“ “We’re excited for guests to have a memorable experience at Warrior with their loved ones, while overlooking our gorgeous animals that reside there.”

Robert Irwin, world-renowned wildlife photographer, said, “At Australia Zoo and our

The Crocodile Hunter Lodge is proud to support sustainable initiatives that are already in practice at Australia Zoo. The build of the Lodge includes timbers recycled from the world-famous crocodile viewing grandstands, built with Steve Irwin’s own hands at Australia Zoo. Over 3000 native trees and shrubs are planted throughout the vast grounds, including endangered species of eucalyptus near the Red Kangaroo cabins, creating natural wildlife corridors for wildlife along with purposefully placed nest boxes.

Recently, the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital released a patient near The Crocodile Hunter Lodge in a soft release area, which helps rehabilitated animals transition back to life in the wild.

Heath is a common brushtail possum who received specialised treatment at the Wildlife Hospital, and is the first patient to be released into the area. With thousands of native trees and over 70 nest boxes, little Heath is enjoying his beautiful natural habitat.

The Crocodile Hunter Lodge is now offering lavish one-bedroom and two-bedroom cabins, with three-bedroom cabins being introduced in 2023. This will include an accessibility cabin in addition to the existing two-bedroom accessibility cabin, to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay for everyone.

Talented Noosa artist brings her expertise to Pomona

“My interest in art started while studying

like to paint.”

Natalie’s students are from diverse backgrounds, from not having lifted a brush, to wanting to try working with oils.

“When the students start working with oils they soon realise how forgiving the medium is and how beautifully you can blend colours,” she said.

Group classes are $45 and private lessons are $50 for two hours. Maximum three in a class. Natalie also provides the canvas which is $6. Classes are taken from Pomona.

Viennese music in vogue Witness a musical revolution performed on historical instruments by some of Australia’s finest international artists when the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra tours Australian towns including Caloundra.

In the late 1700s, Vienna was seized by enthusiasm for the clarinet.

Mozart fell in love with the sound of this fashionable new instrument, considering it the closest to the human voice, especially in the hands of the brilliant virtuoso Anton Stadler. He was moved by Stadler and clarinet builder Theodor Lotz’ latest invention, the basset clarinet, to compose his Clarinet Quintet in A major.

With its perfect proportions and melodic invention, this exquisite work is one of Mozart’s best-loved pieces to this day.

Mozart’s repertoire for the clarinet put it on the map as a solo instrument, and inspired his former student and protege, Johann Nepomuk Hummel - a celebrated musician and composer in his own right. Hummel’s own Clarinet Quartet is a beautifully balanced work of chamber music and highlights his importance as a bridge between the Classical and Romantic eras.

The tour will also feature Hummel’s friend and colleague Franz Schubert, and his unfinished String Trio D.471. Written at the start of one of the happiest and most creatively productive periods of his life, attendees will enjoy Schubert’s brilliance unfolding before your ears in this romantic, lyrical gem.

Featured artist in this delectable program

See Australia’s Romantic and Classical Orchestra this March in Caloundra. is the orchestra’s founding co-artistic director and international clarinet virtuoso Nicole van Bruggen – playing a very special instrument.

“My gorgeous Mozart basset clarinet rep-

Picture: ROBERT CATTO

lica was built for me by Agnès Gueroult in her atelier in Paris. It was in preparation for the Mozart 250th birthday celebration year of 2006 during which I performed many Mozart Clarinet Concerto and Quintet concerts in Europe.

“The instrument is a copy of the exact basset clarinet, built by Theodore Lotz and played

by Anton Stadler, for which Mozart composed only these two works.

“It remains one of my favourite instruments from my collection of historical clarinets, not only due to its glorious tone and the flexibility of expression which it allows, but also because of the fascinating history and link to the three larrikins just mentioned. I will share with the audience, when I welcome them during the tour, just why there were only two pieces of music ever composed for this spectacular instrument.”

Joining Nicole for this extensive tour are co-artistic director Rachael Beesley (violin) together with Julia Russionello (violin), Simon Oswell (viola) and Daniel Yeadon (cello).

The 2023 season features the highly popular Voyage of Musical Discovery education series.

Brisbane, Sydney and, for the first time, Melbourne will each enjoy highlights from the touring program plus – in the second half of each Voyage – appearances from a contemporary guest artist or ensemble. The March Voyage - entitled Design and Innovation - will see composer and pianist Sally Whitwell with soprano Anna Fraser plus a video installation by the fascinating Australian multidisciplinary artist Katy B Plummer.

The national tour of Viennese Vogue will be at The Events Centre, Caloundra on Sunday 5 March.

Pomona Art Gallery hits the ground running in 2023

The Umbilical Brothers set to distract Noosa International comedy phenomenon The Umbilical Brothers are set to distract crowds in Noosa on Friday 10 February.

Their unique mix of mind-bending comedy and back-breaking physicality has taken the world’s favourite Australian comedy duo to 40 countries – from stadiums supporting Robin Williams to stadiums supporting N*Sync.

Named as two of Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Most Creative People in Entertainment, they have appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, after James Brown at Woodstock ’99, and before the Queen of England.

Their global gigs have included a year long off-Broadway run where they received raves from The New York Times and a New York Drama Desk nomination.

Awards include a Helpmann for Comedy Performance of the year, The Edinburgh Critic’s Choice Award and a couple of BAFTA’s.

Younger fans and stoners know them from The Upside Down Show, which they created with Sesame Workshop and won them an Emmy and a Logie.

They haven’t just broken down the rules

of theatre; they’ve invented a new theatrical multiverse.

Unbelievable human performances meets special-effects wizadry. It feels so much like magic, you’ll want to burn them at the stake.

Do you love staring at screens? Are you staring at a screen right now? You should get out more. Specifically to a show that has an enormous screen smack-bang in the middle of it.

The Umbilicals take the energy of live performance and the spectacle of cinema and smashes them together into a new show performed simultaneously on stage and on the big screen.

It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen, and nothing they’ve ever done, and it will blow your mind way more literally than you are expecting. The Distraction: enabling your screen addiction.

Don’t miss the show at The J Theatre on Friday 10 February 2023 from 8pm.

Prices: $54.90 adult / $49.90 concession (pensioner, senior, student/child) For more information, visit thej.com.au/ the-umbilical-brothers/

The Umbilical Brothers are an international comedy phenomenon.

Four local artists are taking a contemporary look at the Australian landscape in their joint exhibition A Land Down Under at Pomona Railway Station Gallery.

Using different media styles, Wendy Talbot, Helen Campbell, Vicki Armstrong and Jo Dansie put their passion for country on display.

Their contemporary approach to their art allows them to look closely at elements sometimes overlooked, capturing the essence.

A Land Down Under is in the Carriage Room from 7 January until 1 February.

Meanwhile, Cooroy artist Jennie Smith has her show Midsummer Magic in the Banana Shed until 25 January.

Jennie’s floral paintings bring a sense of vibrancy and fun. Her florals are painted using a stencil to apply the paint and then she uses a negative painting method to “find” the images.

A look of pointillism is achieved and the overall result is fresh, fun and different.

Pomona Railway Station Gallery’s talented members will be bringing in their works for a new display in the Signal Room over the weekend of 21-22 January and the ever-fantastic team of Fiona and Natalie will be hanging them for viewing on 24 Tuesday.

Wondai saddler David Earle. 314208

Travels of a master saddler

By Erle Levey Life’s journey can take you down many roads - some of them dusty, some of them leading to dead ends. Yet with persistence and a spirit of adventure they can also take you to where you are meant to be.

David and Tania Earle have travelled down many roads and their journey has led them to Wondai.

It’s as if they were always going to settle in the South Burnett town.

David is a saddle maker and leather worker while Tania helps with the marketing. Yet she also has her own business, helping women regain order in their life.

This can range from cleaning, organising and coaching - to rebuilding their confidence through horse riding.

David and Tania both come from rural backgrounds - he was born in Maryborough and she was born in Toowoomba but grew up in Townsville.

While David started out mustering and doing horse work for people around Maryborough, Tania’s father was regional inspector for the Lands Department for 20 years at Townsville.

As a result they got to know all the cattle station owners in Northern Queensland.

Among them was the Atkinson family, who were attributed to developing the Droughtmaster breed of cattle due to their suitability to the tropical conditions.

Early in the 1930s the Atkinson family bought two cross-bred bulls, descended from a Bos indicus (Zebu or Brahman) into their herd.

By 1957 Lamont (Monty) Atkinson had produced this new breed, generally red in colour, highly resistant to ticks and tolerant of drought conditions while yielding a good quality beef carcass.

This background with horses and cattle - combined with a string of circumstances saw David and Tania leave Maryborough last March and head for Wondai.

They wanted a property to run their livestock. Once that was taken care of, one thing led to another which saw them establish David Earle Custom Saddles, Gunbelts and Holsters three months later.

There, in Haly St, they custom fit and design hand-made Australian fender saddles - as well as roping, western and the Wade saddles favoured for livestock handling.

Each saddle is crafted to fit the rider, as well as the horse.

David has been a saddler for nearly 30 years now, and prides himself in producing items that are functional.

“We were living in Maryborough and saw a place for lease,’’ Tania said. “It was 125 acres close to town.

“We had been looking to head west due to a lot of circumstances in our lives.

“Dave was working as a driller throughout Queensland. He would come home and do saddles, gun belts and holsters that were on order.

“As I had started working my way out of 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 January, 2023

David prepares to throw a hide onto the saddle base. 314208 paid employment, he did too.

“He wanted me to help build up his sales in saddles … it got to a point where we had nine saddles on order as well as eight gun belts and holsters on the board.

“He couldn’t keep doing everything.’’

Working as a driller then coming home to work on the saddles, David said he wasn’t getting any downtime.

Then he suffered from Covid and couldn’t get clearance to continue his drilling work at the time.

“So we decided to come and have a look at this place,’’ he said.

“We opened the shop in June last year. It had been sitting vacant the whole time we’d lived here.

“It’s perfect. One shop off the highway and at the main intersection in town.

“The shopfront was already here. It’s been lots of different things; engineers, mechanics, upholsterers, crane hire, a second-hand joint.’’

The majority of stock in the shop is by local artisans and craftspeople, and is being sold on consignment.

“Something we’ve wanted to do from the time we lived in Maryborough was to give people the opportunity - with the stuff they make at home - to have exposure to sell it,’’ Tania said.

“When David gets time we will be putting some of his craft in there too.’’

You cannot help but feel the atmosphere of the shop the moment you walk in the door the timber floors, the galvanised iron walls, the shafts of light coming through the windows

and the open door at the back to break up the shadows.

David’s leatherwork tools hang from a coach wheel suspended above the workbench - much like a chandelier would in a luxury home.

Belts hang in the workshop, along with memorabilia from life in the bush such as bridles, harnesses and a bullock-team driver’s whip.

Out the front are saddle racks from a craftsman in Tiaro.

By displaying his gear, David is able to use the racks to show his saddles.

“You’ve got to have community spirit,’’ he said.

“Since we opened the doors we have supported the RSL, the show society ... we are always willing to help whichever way we can.’’

Saddle sales come mainly from orders, Tania said.

“Our target market is women my age who are returning to the saddle after so many years off.

“Otherwise they have had a fall, and are no longer confident … even with their saddle.’’

For David, saddles should be designed as an investment. You have to look after them.

“We don’t do cookie-cutter saddles,’’ Tania said.

“We do pelvic mapping.’’

That means having a discussion with the client about their needs for a saddle, then charting how they sit and their movement.

“We ask a series of questions - we don’t do off-the-shelf,’’ Tania added.

“If you want it in a short space of time, you are more than welcome to go to a big saddlery shop and buy it because that’s not what we’re about.’’

Talking with David and Tania, if there’s one thing Covid has taught us it is to appreciate what is on offer, the work and skill that has gone into a product rather than convenience for convenience sake.

David always likes to make something the rider is comfortable in.

“I used to muster for a living. I know what it’s like to sit in a saddle for 12 hours then get out of it and not be able to walk because the saddle didn’t fit me right.

“But that was all that was available at the time.

“Through the years of working out how I want to build saddles, I decided to make mine differently.

“I haven’t seen anything else like the seats I’m putting in. There are people doing close … but I do a full web seat and still have a handhold.’’

The tree - or base - is what the rest of the saddle is built on.

David uses a wood/fibreglass tree or a wood rawhide-covered one.

He then builds on top with leather to shape the seat, then uses foam.

The webbing is for comfort.

“Actually, I found this wood/fibreglass tree is light, flexible, and there’s a bit of movement if needed.

“You can drive a nail or a screw into it and it takes.’’

David and Tanya Earle at their saddlery shop in Wondai. 314208 The couple are also promoting the fact people can organise their own workshops.

There is an NDIS client who comes in for leatherwork and there are school holiday programs.

“Dave is a born teacher,’’ Tania said. “The kids just love it. He gets them used to working with leather.’’

A key to good leatherwork is the quality of the product and the consistency.

“The process of tanning is much the same but I don’t want variation,’’ David said, “… not thick one end and thin the other, not sloppy.’’

Saying that, he can make a belt in 15 minutes - not carved but to the standard of RM Williams or Thomas Cook with brass or steel buckle.

His gun belts for holding shotgun cartridges or bullets are another facet of the business, along with gun holsters.

Some have even been used in western movies, such as those streaming services.

“There’s a sport in Australia - single action shooting (SASS) - or cowboy action shooting,’’ David said. “It’s where there is a single cock of the gun rather than automatic firing.

“Members can use all three guns - a six gun, a single-action rifle and a double-barrel shotgun.

“Most gun clubs can shoot SASS.’’ It was the search for somewhere to keep their cattle and horses that led David and Tania to Wondai.

They have four horses and 13 heifers at the moment.

The cattle are a mix of Brahman and some Droughtmasters, and they have just put a Bazadaise bull over them.

The Bazadaise originate from the Bordeaux region of southern France, with a herd book established in 1895.

They were introduced into Australia in 1991 and range in colour from charcoal or dark grey to light grey.

As well as high growth rates and feed effi-

ciency, and high-yielding carcasses, they have proven their ability to endure and thrive in the varying Australian climatic conditions from the cooler temperate climate of Tasmania to the hot, arid plains of the Northern Territory.

There are also some new Red Angus and Black Angus heifers.

The horses are used for trail work - a station-bred mare, a thoroughbred, a quarterhorse cross Andalusian, and a miniature horse.

“If it wasn’t for them we probably wouldn’t be out here,’’ Tania said, “so we have a lot to thank them for.

“We needed a place for them.’’

Both David and Tania have been involved in some iconic horse rides over the years.

In 2011, David was among those who took 40 riders from Nanango - along parts of along Australia’s National Trail - to celebrate 150 years of Maryborough.

Tania tells me about the 1988 re-enactment of the mail run from Ingham to Valley of Lagoons Station.

At the age of 76, Fred Williams - a legend of the bush - took part in the re-enactment of the run he undertook in 1934.

There were 140 riders taking part.

The property was owned by Monty Atkinson but the Sheahan family run it now, with Dan Sheahan having written the Slim Dusty ballad The Pub With No Beer.

Tania’s business ReFinding You Professional Organising is about helping women regain order in their life.

Part of it is putting horses with people who have been abused or been through difficult times.

“It’s about rehabilitating … healing through horses, growing their confidence in themselves again, to feel again. Especially if they are coming from abuse.

“A horse is your greatest reflection of yourself. And the greatest teacher of who you are or who you are meant to be.

“Horses have incredible perception.

“If you can take a woman who has no idea of who she is because of the life that has happened to her, and you can take her out and get her to experience that relationship and that connection you get from a horse - one you won’t get from any other animal. That’s life changing.

“You become one - you perceive each other’s thoughts, feelings. That’s what you get when you are truly connected to your horse.

“When you allow that to happen.’’

David and Tania show how living your passion can have a very positive impact on a community.

They take great pride in the quality of their work, and the town they live in.

This shines through in what they do with their animals and people every day.

Testament to their lives in country Australia, David’s grandfather worked on the renovations to the Birdsville Hospital.

His great aunt represented Australia at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics in equestrian.

As for himself, David started mucking around with leather at the age of 19.

What he loves is the fact it is a natural product, that’s got depth and feeling.

“It can be forgiving, depending on what you’re doing with it.

“No two pieces are the same, no two saddles, no two holsters.

“I’ve worked for saddlers all the way up to Charters Towers. Then I went into mining and now I’m working for myself, doing saddles.

“The response from the community has been great. We are getting known.’’

Saddle orders can come from all over.

There have been some recent sales to an equestrian park near Orange, New South Wales.

“The owner had a bad fall, and lost her confidence,’’ Tania said.

“She saw the deep seat on Dave’s saddles and that made her feel confident.

“Our pelvic mapping finds your balance point and that makes you more comfortable and more confident.

“You are right there with your horse.

“Dave moulds the seat for ‘CBC’ - comfort and balance equals confidence.’’

More and more locals are getting to know the saddlery is in town, Tania said.

“We are wanting this shop to put Wondai and the South Burnett on the map.

“It’s so undiscovered.

“People need to get out of their back door and discover what’s on offer.

“We want to get people out here to discover the South Burnett, and while they’re here do a course, do a workshop.

“There will be a course every month - whip making in February, belt making, saddle making and we’ve been asked to do bridles.’’

It’s a Stirling start to 2023 for endurance riders

By Contributed The 2023 endurance riding season kicks off this month when the Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Club holds its popular educational weekend at Imbil.

It is club’s fifth such event, and will be held at the the Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Complex in Derrier Road on the weekend of 28 and 29.

We anticipate that some aspects of the educational weekend will be on the Friday afternoon with members on hand to guide on setting up yards, and also instruction in how to trot your horse out for presentation to vets for gait assessment.

Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Complex is the same location as the 2023 Tom Quilty Gold Cup in June.

The educational weekend is popular for horse riding enthusiasts that wish to learn about the sport from some of the most experienced endurance competitors in Queensland.

Riders are encouraged to camp out at the venue with their trusty steeds for the weekend, similar to an actual endurance ride.

They will initially receive details of what to bring when camping at a ride base, as well as bio security requirements to be completed in the 10 days leading up to an event.

During a series of presentations guest speakers will provide information ranging from horse welfare, training and caring for an endurance horse, as well as pre-ride activities such as the nominations process and presenting their horses for vetting.

40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 January, 2023

Important details on riding the course, track marking and riding etiquette will also be included in the presentations.

Speakers are also keen to answer any questions participants might have on endurance as well as general horse care.

The club is organising a 10km and a 20km ride on the Saturday afternoon, and a 20km and 40km ride on Sunday morning.

These rides are designed to allow attendees to experience what happens at an endurance ride in what may seem to be a more relaxed environment, but must still comply with all endurance riding rules and with consideration of horse welfare.

The tracks will traverse through some of the roads and fire trails in the Imbil State Forest, with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.

Club members will be on hand at various checkpoints to offer assistance and advice where necessary.

Like many sports, endurance is only possible due to the many volunteers that give up some of their time to help out with each ride.

Most also say it’s an opportunity to meet a host of friendly fun people that have a similar interest in horses.

If you have a horse, love the outdoors and would like to learn about the sport of endurance, contact the club about the educational weekend by emailing info@stirlingscrossingendurance.asn.au or on Facebook at Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Club.

A ton and 10 wicket haul!

By Randall Woodley Only three Thunder senior teams played over the two days of last weekend, and the club came home with two wins.

The disappointment was the loss of the third-placed First Graders who went down to a Caloundra team bolstered by the inclusion of five Scorchers [Sunshine Coast team in the Brisbane competition] players.

To handicap the Thunder team further, gun opening bowler Scott Aufderheide could not play due to illness and the club’s top run scorer this season, Ben Laughlin was not able to play on the Sunday when Thunder batted.

However, Fifth and Sixth Grade had strong wins which will put them in good positions for the finals. Tony Watson scored a 126 in Sixth Grade and his team-mate, Wayne Moore took 10 wickets in the match.

FIRST GRADE: DAY ONE-The team travelled south to Caloundra and after losing the toss was asked to field first. When Tom Stewart opened the bowling and could only get his fastest balls to hardly go stump high the boys knew they were in for a long day. All the bowlers toiled hard and spent the full 96 overs in the field. Down a couple of bowlers with Covid and unavailability it was a tough slog for the team.

Some bizarre tactics in the last hour where Caloundra shut up shop and their numbers eight and nine batters took 100 balls to score about 25 runs. At stumps the Lighthouses were 8 for 282.

Tom Stewart bowled 18 wicket-less overs for only 24 runs with Dom Taylor and Ben Laughlin bowling 49 overs between them (two wicket each). Jarrod Officer took three wickets in the day. Bowling 24 maidens for the day is a good indication of the pressure that Thunder applied, and the team went home confident the Sunday would favour them a little better.

DAY TWO- The boys took the last two wickets inside three overs with Tom Stewart getting a deserved wicket and Talon Reichert picking up one. Caloundra posted 293.

It was going to be one of the largest chases the Thunder had faced in some years, and Caloundra opened up with spin on a pitch that had some pretty inconsistent bounce and turn. Openers Jake Dennien and Lewis Waugh had their work cut out with Scorchers’ Alecz Day bowling 100kph off-spin with fielders around the bat. The boys did a great job holding out for 15 overs before both going to Day to have Thunder 2-27.

Youngster Rory Ramsden showing patience in his innings of 37 against USC last Saturday.

Then Jarrod Officer, and Ben Claypole batted until after lunch before Ben went for 19 with the score 62. Then the team was pleased to see ex-Thunder player, Cody Pyne, having a break from Scorchers join Officer in the middle. These two put on 100 runs before Pyne, who had batted very maturely, was out for 49, the score now 4-161, still a 130 runs short of the target.

Officer was batting so well everyone expected him to register another ton, but he went soon after for 88, bowled by Day. The team still needed 110 with five wickets in hand.

The task proved too much for the batsmen and the innings finished on 223 from 80 overs.

The team was disappointed to lose but it was obvious that you cannot chase 300 when only two batsmen pass the 20-run mark.

However, on reflection it was a good effort on a deteriorating pitch against one of the best bowlers in Queensland. Alecz Day finishing with 5-63 and bowling 35 overs out of a total of 80 team overs. Their top scorer, another Scorcher made 127 and these two players were the difference in the match.

Late in the day saw Thunder have Caloundra 6 for 66 at stumps which really showed how far the pitch had deteriorated. This gave the boys some confidence going into next Saturday’s crucial match against the old adversary,

Caboolture Snakes.

Day 1 of this match will be played at Read Park next Saturday commencing at 10am.

FIFTH GRADE: The team was placed third on the premiership ladder prior to last Saturday’s match against University at Read Park and they needed to win to keep their final chances alive. Batting first, things did not start all that well, losing both openers and Thunder soon found themselves at 3 -22. Then club stalwart, Kent Officer came into bat and as he has done over some 40 years, held the innings together.

Wickets kept falling but Kent kept hitting fours and encouraging the younger players to hold up their ends. A seventh wicket partnership with Rory Ramsden (37) saw the innings climb and a late 51 not out by captain Matt Mayo ensured the team would finish with a competitive score. They finished on 9 for 239 with Kent Officer contributing 84 (12 fours).

USC was keen to match Thunder’s score, but accurate bowling and tight fielding restricted them to be all out for 172. Best of the bowlers for Thunder were Ben Potter 4-30, Rory Ramsden having a great match, 2-19 and R.Johnston 2-19. The Thunder batted out the rest of the day to finish with a well earned first innings win by some 67 runs.

Next Saturday the team take on the Glasshouse Rangers on Day 1 of their two-day

match at the Glasshouse Mountains Oval.

SIXTH GRADE: What a win for the Sixes and what a day for Tony Watson and Wayne Moore.

Batting first Thunder absolutely annihilated Cooroy-Eumundi bowlers notching up 258 before declaring at three wickets down. Tony batted sensationally, hitting 19 fours in his top score of 126 not out. He was well supported by Naveen Chand (31) and Wayne Moore 72 (10 fours).

When Cooroy-Eumundi batted they were immediately on the back foot and never mastered the Thunder bowling attack. They were all out for 94. Top bowlers were Wayne Moore, 5-26 and Graham Chaplin 3-14.

Sent back in, the opposition again struggled in its second innings and was bowled out for 101. Wayne Moore was again the top bowler with 5-19 and Graham Chaplin took 4-19.

This outright win put a signal out to the other teams in the grade that the Sixers on a roll and improving every match as they head to the finals.

Next Saturday the team take on the Nambour Cutters at the showground.

SECOND GRADE: They resume their season next Saturday against Palmwoods at their home ground.

THIRD GRADE: Next Saturday the team will be playing Palmwoods at Dale Officer Oval.

Boxer Paige Robinson has been ranked No 9 in the world amateur championships.

A woman on the move At age 21 when the world is your oyster, Electra Outram of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club is definitely right there. At this age this young lady with her achievements in both academics and sport, has the world at her feet.

This year she will commence her fifth year at the Sunshine Coast University where she is studying Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Commerce and Accountancy. When you take into consideration the time required for her continued success in her studies, you would wonder where she gets the time required to achieve her outstanding results in the world of sport.

Electra started her career in lifesaving, when she joined the Sunshine Beach Nippers at age seven: but at age 13 she transferred her membership to the Noosa club. Now at 21 she has her bronze medallion and apart from her studies and sporting life, she still finds time to perform her duties as a lifesaving member of Patrol 5, at Noosa’s Main Beach.

The patrolling is something that she really enjoys. “By doing this I feel that we are giving something back to the community and to me, that is very important. It is only right that we are seen to be doing something that is really for our people.”

Regarding her competition events, she competes in the iron person, surf board, surf ski and the surf swim. Starting her competition while in the nipper early years, she showed outstanding possibilities for the senior years ahead. Electra won both the U14 and U15 National Iron Woman events. On entering the senior ranks, she finished third in the U17 National Surf Race and rounded things off by winning the National U19 Surf ski event.

Then later on she won a major event when she won the Short Course Coolangatta Gold.

“That was a great event and something that I was really proud of. It was a good one to win.”

Her next major carnival will be on Maroochydore Beach when she takes part in the Murphy Builders Maroochydore Classic, 27-28 January.

With a personality that matches her winning ways, the year ahead for this young lady in both academics and sport could be a big one. We wish her and her Noosa club mates all the very best.

Sunshine Beach Over the hill at Sunshine Beach SLSC, great start for the 2023 season. Gemma Welch Smith and Niamh Arthur selected for the Queensland State team: a huge honour for both the girls and the club.

Gemma and Niamh will be competing at Maroubra Beach NSW this weekend in the Interstate Carnival: representing Queensland and Sunshine Beach in all events. We wish both girls well.

Boxing After 28 years as a painting contractor and 18 years as owner Head Coach of Impact Boxing Academy, and now Head Coach of the Australian team, Mark Evans has decided it is time to retire from the work force. Unlike many who on leaving the business world, ask themselves, what now? However, his success in the world of amateur boxing, has provided him with a new full-time occupation. ‘’I was in a position, where trying to do justice to both my business and boxing, had become too much. But then I realised I had reached retiring age in the work force: so, it was step aside and do what I love. Involve myself fully in the sport of boxing. So, retirement does not present me with a problem, as it does for so many others. I have had some 18 years (in boxing) unintentionally preparing myself for just this moment.”

Regarding the recent trip to Spain for the World Amateur Championships, it was, despite not winning any medals a successful learning curve. In a team of eight, three have come home now rated in the World Top 10 in their division. One of these was Cooroy’s Paige Robinson. Her performance both in competition and in training camps, earned her a No 9 rating. Following this she has been invited to attend a high-performance training camp at the AIS in Canberra: from 16-20 January. ‘’The overall performance tells us that the gap between the standard of our teams and teams from Europe and Asia is starting to close. This is the result of an attitude towards advanced training and more overseas competition in the Pacific region. However, our major hurdle is and always will be geographical. For just one example, it took the Irish team two hours to reach Spain and it took us 30.”

Training events conducted at the titles were a great experience for the team. When Paige was out of the tournament, overseas coaches invited her to join in training sessions, sparring with fighters from various countries: Georgia, Columbia, Kazakhstan, Thailand and the Jamaican Islands.

There was no such thing as light sparring, everything was full contact: it was a great learning experience for Paige. Sparring with national champions from all those countries and she more than held her own” Coach Mark Evans added, “I cannot thank the people of Cooroy enough for the support they gave to Paige: their fund raising was fantastic, and their treatment of their young lady was exceptional. She was given the honour of turning on the lights for the big Cooroy Christmas Tree celebration.

“This would probably be the first time, that a local girl representing her country competed in such a big international event. Once again, well done and many thanks to all involved.”

Electra Outram has a big year ahead in sport in studies.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Glenn Marto Martin.

Trevor Redman Crosby.

The author gets a little turn in.

Old age shall not weary us Motoring through his 72nd year on the planet, for your columnist surfing has become both a pleasure and a pain.

Every surf hurts, but as long as the worst of the pain comes after you’ve grabbed a few bombs, well, at our age we’re ahead of the game. Those of you who surf with me know that I’m out there for a good time, not a long time.

Sometimes it’s because I have work obligations, but mostly it’s because after 20 minutes the lower back kicks in and after half an hour the computer neck starts to seize up. If I last an hour I know I’m gonna need a nanna nap to recover.

But who’s complaining?

Not me.

If it hurts a bit, well, to paraphrase an old adage, if I’d known I was going to surf this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

But who knew? When I started surfing in the early 1960s, virtually no-one surfed beyond 30, let alone 40, 50, 60 or 70.

Let’s not forget that when Nat Young won the world title in San Diego in 1966, our previous and first world champion the late Midget Farrelly was considered a has-been. At least until he came second at the next two world titles and went on to surf beautifully all his life.

For mere mortals, however, in the ‘60s there were so many competing pressures of study, work and family that once you’d conformed and settled down, this strange passion for riding waves was supposed to just fade away, and with it those hideous board bumps under your knee caps.

I got lucky young.

While I was never remotely good enough to make a living around surfing – getting thrashed

by Mark Warren and others in the NSW Schoolboys convinced me of that – I found I could write about surfing and a new magazine called Tracks would publish it.

After surfing my way around Europe in ’73 and discovering Bali in ’74, I decided that yes, I could make a living around surfing.

It didn’t always work out like that, of course, and there were periods where life got in the way.

But by the time we moved to Noosa 33 years ago, when I was nudging 40, I made the amazing discovery that everyone over 40 in this town still surfed with no intention of giving up.

And we’re still out there doing it.

My all-time heroes for longevity are the great Bob McTavish, still surfing with grace, style and a sense of fun as he nears 80, and the late, great Barry Magoo McGuigan, who continued to surf competitively until a year before cancer claimed him at 85.

Locally I’m surrounded by septuagenarian heroes and lucky enough to surf with them most days.

Sure, there’s a lot of talk about medical procedures sitting out the back between sets, and sure, some of the gang are a bit scarce when

Hard-working, always smiling Di Cuddihy.

So now he’s happy.

First Point, 1910. the points get hectic and there’s a sweep that’s stronger than an old man’s paddling arms, but hey, we’re still out there, still stoked.

Everyone’s favourite surf photographer, Fenna De King, has been shooting us wrecks for years, and sometimes she even gets a good one. I asked her to put together a pictorial tribute to Noosa’s Half-Dead Surf Club, based on a couple of fun recent swells, and maybe one or two from last year’s Wrecks and Relics.

First Point the way it was Searching through the Heritage Noosa photo

Pictures: FENNA DE KING

Redman still ripping.

Dear Al... archives for something completely different, I stumbled upon this awesome postcard from 1910.

Shot by a Gympie photographer named Fegan, it shows First Point the way we wish we could see it today – tide still a little high, but clean lines just starting to peel down the rock line, no one out and no one likely to be any time soon.

I reckon we haven’t seen First Point break like this for almost four years, thanks to the immoveable sand drift. Maybe one day soon.

Meanwhile, a bloke called Harry bought the card and sent it off to a lady called Al without even thinking about what future generations might make of the photo.

In fact the idea of riding the pretty little wave it depicts never even occurred to him.

He wrote: “Having a very fine time. The weather is very hot. Hope you enjoyed your Christmas. Have visited nearly all the places down here. Went to Coolum Beach yesterday and am dead tired today.”

Paid a penny for a stamp and posted it.

PROPERTY NEWS

ORIGINAL BEACH HOUSES IN THE SPOTLIGHT PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IF only ... if only had bought it before. If only we had bought back then.

It’s been a comment heard frequently in Noosa.

Back in the 1970s you could buy in Little Cove for less than $100,000.

There will be real indication of the value to holding property long-term when a twobedroom, two-bathroom house on 686sq m at 74 Upper Hastings St, Noosa Heads, goes to auction at 11am. Understandably, Nic Hunter at Tom Offermann Real Estate said there has been really strong interest in the modest green and cream cottage that was originally built in 1972.

After 50 years of multi-generational family celebrations, the 122sq m house with frangipanis out the front, and a rear garden melding with the Noosa National Park reserve, the time is ripe to demolish, develop or refurbish. The two-level house comes with timber floors; enclosed front verandah with view to hinterland; French doors to terrace; frosted glass sash/louvre window; two queen-size bedrooms; and bathroom with shower and WC. The kitchen/dining comes with new Hisense fridge and stove/cooktop.

The lower-level features laundry, two store rooms, WC plus carport .

“People are talking about living here the position is that good,’’ Nic said.

“They have been holidaying over many years, and been wondering what’s going on with the property.

“It’s never ever been for sale.’’

At the top of the steps from Hastings St and 700m to Little Cove Beach, it opens up the possibility of Noosa River, North Shore and hinterland views. Within a high density zoning of a 12-metre height allowance, subject to council approval, it brings into

An original two-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 686sq m at 74 Upper Hastings St, Noosa Heads, goes to auction at 11am on Saturday, 14 January.

An original four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 7 Columbus Ct, Sunrise Beach, will go to auction at 12pm on Saturday, 14 January. 314236 play a magnificent residence, apartments or duplex.

NORTH SHORE OPPORTUNITY Nic Hunter has been getting good inquiry and inspections on a substantial Noosa North Shore property. The Riverhouse at 13 Maximillian Rd offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, four-car garaging and pool on 1.09ha with 55m of Noosa River frontage.

“It is attracting attention,’’ Nic said.

“It’s easy to get there from the ferry along sealed road.

“People are seeing North Shore as good value.’’ Listed at $4.2m, the brilliant-white, plantation-inspired residence, wrapped by wide verandahs, comes with a deep-water

jetty and boat ramp.

Upstairs with high raked ceilings, is filled with glimpses of the river and beyond or leafy outlooks of Noosa National Park, from every room. There are expansive French oak floor, in the open plan living and dining spaces while a terrace on the northerly side surrounds the pool on two sides.

The brand-new, custom-designed kitchen and butler’s pantry comes with mottled grey stone-topped timber cabinetry including the island bench/breakfast bar, and the latest Neff appliances.

The main bedroom suite is a five-star retreat, with lounge room, walk-in robe

and ensuite with grey stone-topped timber cabinetry and access to the verandah.

Three queen-size bedrooms have built-in robes and share a bathroom, with a powder room adjoining.

There is an under-house hangout zone, media room, bathroom, laundry, and extensive storage adjacent to the garage.

SUNRISE ORIGINAL Looking back on 2022, Laguna Real Estate’s Warren Evans said it had been a terrific year with some really good sales.

And with a history in real estate spanning more than 40 years, he has seen the best and the worst of times.

One of the more satisfying sales last year was an original river house at 43 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore, that sold at auction for $2.720m.

The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 1019sq m has stood as a Noosa River landmark since 1913. Built of the local hard wood, milled on the opposite bank, it is one of the only two historic homes left and the last of the true river houses with a pioneering past.

In December, Warren sold the cottage next door at auction for $2.65m.

Eddie’s Cottage at 45 Noosa River Drive was a one-bedroom, one-bathroom dwelling built in the 1980s on almost 1000sq m with river frontage, a deep-water floating pontoon/jetty, slipway and a substantial shed/workshop.

Warren remembers buying his first block of land at Sunshine Beach in 1974 to build on, for the price of $11,000.

The coastal road was just being established and there were gravel roads at Sunshine.

Warren used to mow the block with a vintage Victa mower - coffee rock and all.

There is now a $5m house on it.

So it will be interesting to see what price buyers put on an original 90s house at Sunrise Beach he is taking to auction Saturday, 14 January, at 12pm.

The substantial two-storey home at 7 Columbus Ct is within walking distance to the beach and Sunrise shops, sporting facilities and schools. It offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two-car garaging and pool on 640sq m.

It’s solid but could do with some care as the original owners had trouble maintaining it in their later years, Warren said.

He was an artist who was very successful with beach scenes.

The studio was downstairs.

The house has a nice local aspect, so there is potential - especially for dual accommodation.

The upper level is the kitchen, living, main bedroom with ensuite, powder room, and deck looking over the pool.

On the ground level is a studio, two bedrooms, bathroom, living and two-car garage. The studio includes bathroom, toilet and plentiful storage.

The initial response to the campaign has been encouraging, Warren said.

Two houses providing four bedrooms and two bathrooms on waterfront 4123sq m at 1 Urunga Pde, Boreen Point, go to auction at 10am on Friday, 20 January. 314236 “There have been those wanting to place an offer but we will take it to auction at this stage to save any confusion.

“Basically, most interest has been from interstate and Brisbane people who are looking for a place to stay in Noosa.’’

The art works by the previous owner have already been sold at the Poinciana Ave gallery in Tewantin, through a silent auction.

Proceeds of the house sale will see the Salvation Army as the main beneficiary.

For Warren, the year ahead will be quite positive with interest rates set to stabilise and people realising this is where they want to be in life.

“Life is so precious,’’ he said.

“You never know what’s around the corner, so make the most of every day.’’

THE BEAUTY OF BOREEN Regarded as among the best views in Boreen Point, an elevated 506sq m at 38 Woongar St is being taken to auction on Saturday, 14 January, by Roger Omdahl of Laguna Real Estate.

With two-street access, the property has a north-easterly aspect looking over Lake Cootharaba to the Great Sandy National Park. The original house Eagles Nest has been removed while a steel garage offers secure boat storage to Urunga Pde. The land has been prepared for

construction - cut and terraced - with council-approved house plans, and a geotech soil test available.

“This is a great opportunity,’’ Roger said.

“Properties like this do not come along often.

“People are around and actively looking for property.

“There have been quite a number of calls on this one, from locals as well as Sydney and Melbourne.’’

While Lake Cootharaba is regarded as a yachtie’s paradise, the appeal of Boreen Point is broader than that, Roger said.

“It extends to any sort of water sport really - and you can venture up the Everglades from here.’’

DOUBLE OPPORTUNITY Another Boreen Point listing of great interest is two houses providing four bedrooms and two bathrooms on a waterfront 4123sq m.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, according to Alisa Wythes and Caroline Johnston of Wythes Real Estate who will be taking 1 Urunga Pde to auction at 10am on Friday, 20 January.

Two homes, two lots and two-road frontage with a sand beach.

The main residence comes with high ceilings and timber floors while the boaties cottage could make a great guest house.

Tightly held in the same family for more than 50 years, the property is at the end of the Boreen Point Esplanade with more than 80 metres of water frontage.

There is the potential to buy both lots or one, subject to council approval, with one lot being just over 1000sq m and the additional lot about 3000sq m.

Positioned to take advantage of the water views and private beach, the main residence features open-plan living and dining, an abundance of windows, and wide, covered timber decks.

The boatie’s cottage features bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living/dining area and verandah, with boat storage underneath.

HOME FOCUS

PRIVATE OASIS WITH WIDE WATER VIEWS PERFECTLY positioned and staking its claim in the sun on a prized dune-like perch just 3 minutes to sinking toes in the glistening white sand of the Coral sea, is a home with a lot to give!

From the moment you open the full timber entry gate to this private oasis you are connected to nature. Your gaze is immediately drawn to the glistening Coral Sea and as you enter the home the oversized verandah opens to display the immense wide water views.

It is not unusual to admire whales, dolphins, eagles and paragliders soaring over the azure waters, also surfers looking for the eternal break in ‘their’ wave heaven.

Private terraces wrap the North and East sides, with lush landscaped surrounds.

Dynamic palms and staghorns surround the pool and evoke instant connectivity to the private location.

“The wide ocean views from the outdoor decks, internal living and dining areas and the master bedroom, makes for a serene, always-on-holidays feel” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata.

“It’s a character timber home ready to live in just as it is, or with future potential to improve or renovate.”

“This is an investment opportunity to share with family and friends for many years to come, especially with its unbeatable location. It is a leisurely 5-minute walk along the beach to the Chalet Beach Cafe, 10 minutes to the

Sunshine Beach cafes and Surf Club, and a short drive to dog off-leash beach, schools, Noosa Aquatic Centre, sophisticated Hastings Street, as well as the worldfamous Noosa National Park”.

ON THE COVER

NOOSA RIVERHOUSE EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCE OR BOUTIQUE APARTMENT COMPLEX WHEN the current owners purchased this property in 2015 it was the veritable ugly duckling, an unloved red brick ‘block of flats’!

An extensive rebuild was undertaken, lovingly creating a true ‘River House’ with wide and deep verandahs looking over the park and river beyond. Absolutely no expense has been spared to provide a relaxed yet elegant main residence above with two smart, self contained units below.

With the ability to easily unite the units 1 and 3 creating a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom and 2 living area home - leaving the second ground floor unit to either provide a robust short term rental - this truly is an opportunity not to be overlooked.

The large penthouse style unit features European oak timber flooring, high ceilings, full a/c throughout, glorious bathrooms with Hansgrohe fittings, oversized bedrooms, Starlink connectivity, back to base security, European appliances, butlers pantry and expansive ‘stacker doors’ to combine the huge verandah space with the generous living area.

Breeze loving louvres feature throughout the property, led downlights, feature wall and stair lighting create a wonderful ambience and the solid masonry/concrete slab construction ensures wonderful insulation from heat/cold and noise.

The two lower units are a maintenance ‘dream’, large easy care floor tiles, living room a/c, full kitchens in both, laundry and bathrooms are separate so room to move.

Both units feature some of the original brick construction, one with simple white paint, one with bespoke render and glazing.

Both units feature truly generous verandah spaces, large enough to house the bar table and chairs, barbecues and outdoor sofa and chairs.

The property is securely fenced with two separate gates at the street frontage and one gate leading directly onto the park and river to the rear, the concrete plunge pool is sited at chest height to obviate the need for fencing that would obstruct your view from the pool, surrounded by lime trees, kaffir limes and lemon trees it is a perfect spot to laze and enjoy a refreshing drink.

The exposed concrete keeps the pool at a more agreeable temperature year round.

The three car garage features a full width loft storage, so necessary and such a convenience.

16kw solar panels sit on the roof and provide a welcome relief from those soaring electricity bills.

Solar hot water is also installed for the penthouse unit with mains override when necessary.

With the location just over the bridge from the Yacht Club this enviable site means walking to the restaurants and bars is an easy stroll, yet you are insulated from the hustle and bustle in busy tourist times.

And, as an investment bonus all apartments have Short Term Letting approval. ●

HOME FOCUS

WIDE RIVER VIEWS FROM TERRACE PENTHOUSE THERE is only a limited number of residential properties along Gympie Terrace, often referred to as Noosa’s “Golden Mile”.

These properties are tightly held, highly prized, and snapped up quickly when they come onto the market.

And that is very easy to understand!

Lucky owners and holiday makers who live or stay on Gympie Terrace enjoy fabulous views of the pristine Noosa River and of the picturesque adjacent parklands and shady trees.

They can watch the colourful variety of watercraft floating by, including ferries, yachts, kayaks and stand-up paddles.

Swimmers can enjoy the clear waters and sandy riverbanks.

A variety of fabulous coffee shops, restaurants and clothing shops are on their doorstep, and the large Noosa Village Shopping Centre is only a short walk away.

The outstanding top floor penthouse at 3/235 Gympie Terrace is in the heart of all these attractions.

It will have enormous appeal for permanent living or for buyers looking to enjoy holidays in a prime location, and earn an income at other times of the year.

The apartment would also be an ideal “lock and leave” home for the many buyers who are now down-sizing from larger homes and wanting to be able to travel without worrying about a larger, high-maintenance property.

It would be a perfect home for a buyer wanting a beautiful, quiet environment for a work from home office.

Situated on the top floor of a small,

boutique complex, this large apartment boasts a highly sought- after northern aspect over the river, which bathes the apartment in light and provides cooling river breezes through the large sliding glass doors and windows.

The sparkling river views can be enjoyed from most rooms in this spacious apartment, and from the sweeping front balcony. A fabulous spot to enjoy beautiful sunsets and sunrises over the water!

The main bedroom even has its own private balcony with river views, and on a still night the sound of the ocean waves

beyond the river mouth in the distance can be heard!

The living areas feature soaring raked ceilings which create sensational volume and a modern architectural feel in the apartment.

The apartment has been immaculately maintained and improved by its current owner, so there is nothing for the new owner to do except move in and enjoy!

White plantation shutters and quality blinds throughout, cool tiling, fresh painting, huge re-modelled kitchen, and new bathroom fittings have given the apartment a sharp, stylish look.

Ducted and split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans throughout, ample storage inside and out, a sparkling pool in the complex, and spacious bedrooms, complete a very attractive property which many local and interstate buyers have been waiting for.

Be quick to arrange your private inspection. ●
