Clear paths for hatchlings By Margie Maccoll

Lindsay, Jo, Lisa, Debbie and Melissa led the clean up on Saturday.

Tiny pieces of plastic and polystyrene balls made up the bulk of rubbish collected by volunteers at Peregian Beach last Saturday, removing those threats to the survival of turtle hatchlings that are expected to make their way to the ocean this nesting season. The clean up that attracted about 40 volunteers was the first time Noosa Council had joined in the annual event, run by Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with TurtleCare Sunshine Coast, Reef Check Australia, Unitywater and SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium. “It’s a long running and successful event – now in its ninth year - and we’re thrilled to become part of it,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “It’s an incredibly important cause. Ensuring the beach is free of litter helps to give turtle hatchlings a clear passage as they make their way from the dunes to the water after hatching during February. Volunteers braved a hot and hazy morning to collect rubbish from across the dunes and shoreline at north Peregian Beach access 50, a known turtle nesting area. Continue page 8

Value blue space While we await an outcomes report from this summer’s Maritime Safety Queensland river management community consultation survey, which proposed a raft of changes to anchoring, mooring and speed limit regulations, Noosa Today’s A River For All will offer an ongoing forum of expert, community and reader opinion. This week PHIL JARRATT talks to Noosa Shire resident Neil Patchett, general manager (policy and advocacy) of the Boating Industry Association about his submission to the MSQ survey.

12572850-DL42-22

When Kin Kin resident Neil Patchett thinks about Noosa’s natural assets, he sees them in band of green and blue. “The way I look at it is we place a really high

social value on green space,” he says. “We should do the same with blue space. We won’t stand for degradation of our green space parks and we shouldn’t stand for it in our blue space waterways either. You can’t park your van in one of Noosa’s parks and live in it, and you can’t drop your human waste there either. “If you go to a park and behave correctly you’ll leave only footprints. If you watch a well-managed boat pass responsibly along a waterway, within 40 seconds there’s no sign it was ever there.” It’s an interesting way of looking at our waterways problems, because it’s all about personal responsibility. In the green space most of us would not

dream of trashing a park or a beach, but in the blue waters a significant minority still seem to believe there are no rules and therefore no responsibility, that it’s OK to dump your waste over the side of your illegally anchored, unlit liveaboard, or to head full-throttle through a narrow channel past paddlers and swimmers. It’s a viewpoint possibly derived from an adventurous life lived around waterways and the ocean as a yachtsman, paddler, canoeist and surfer, and a professional life that has seen him morph from boating journalist to regulator to his current role at boating’s peak industry body. As general manager of the powerful Boating Industry Association, charged with creating policy across three states and a territory, you would expect Neil’s primary motivation

to be increasing the demand for boats in order to drive the industry, and in a way it is, but he takes such a holistic view of how that objective might be achieved, that many people who want to see a quieter river with fewer boats, might find themselves agreeing with many of the points he raises in his BIA submission to the Maritime Safety Queensland survey. I know I did. In fact, while I didn’t agree with everything he wrote, I regard his submission as the most well-crafted and thought-provoking of the dozen or so I’ve been able to read, offering solutions rather than just random ideas. So I invited him to come and sit by the river with me and expand on the thinking that informed his submission. Continued page 4

Sunshine Coast koalas will get a helping hand with a $440,161 funding boost from the Australian Government’s Saving Koala’s Fund. Three projects will deliver koala conservation action in the Sunshine Coast hinterland by revegetating and restoring koala habitat and increased koala monitoring through motion and thermal cameras. The funding will also support koala monitoring at the Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s Curramore Sanctuary near Maleny, and in the Mt Zero-Taravale region in North Queensland. This will help to confirm how many koalas are living in the wild in the region. The three projects being funded are: - $179,211 for habitat restoration and ecological research at Curramore and Mt ZeroTaravale, delivered by Australian Wildlife Conservancy. - $165,950 for Hinterland Koala Habitat Project project delivered by Hinterland Bush Links. - $95,000 for Sunshine Coast Hinterland Koala Habitat Restoration delivered by Ecollaboration. Koalas are listed as endangered in Queensland, NSW and the ACT. This grant is part of $5 million awarded to local, community-led koala recovery projects in these states and territory.

Overall, the Australian Government is investing more than $76 million through the Saving Koalas Fund for the conservation and protection of the koala. This includes community grants, large-scale habitat restoration activities, monitoring and koala health initiatives. Environment and Water MinisterTanya Plibersek said, “No-one wants to imagine an Australia without the koalas.“ “The Australian Government is ensuring that our kids and grandkids will still be able to see koalas in the wild. “Communities across Australia play a crucial role in protecting and conserving this beloved animal. This funding is about supporting local groups to do what they do best – getting communities involved in protecting this iconic species. “That’s why the Australian Government is investing a total of $5 million on local koala recovery projects, and a total of $76 million in our Saving Koalas Fund. “I am committed to achieving our target of zero new extinctions in Australia – and of course this includes the koala.” Senator Anthony Chisholm said, “Koalas are incredibly important to the local community – this project will work with local community groups to restore koala habitat.“

Sunshine Coast koalas will get a helping hand with a $440,161 funding boost.

“These projects will plant thousands of koala habitat trees and remove invasive weeds like lantana that prevent koalas moving from one tree to another. “I’m delighted these projects will support our local koalas to survive and thrive.”

Noosa Today this week launched a River For All campaign to highlight the need for the river to be a place for everyone to enjoy and feel safe. Over the next few weeks, as the community awaits an outcomes report from this summer’s Maritime Safety Queensland river management community consultation survey which proposed a raft of changes to anchoring, mooring and speed limit regulations, Phil Jarrett plans to chat to experts and locals for their views. Also relating to water, but further from the land, and quite surprising to experts, has been the discovery of an abundance of healthy, thriving coral along the Sunshine Coast coastline. When University of Queensland researchers and dive club volunteers were looking for a project close to home, during Covid, they decided to investigate 11 reefs along the coast, particularly around Mudjimba Island and Mooloolaba. Associate Professor Chris Roelfsema said what they found was incredible, with healthy amounts of coral at every reef and little sign of bleaching or crown of thorns starfish. And lastly with Valentine’s Day coming up on Tuesday 14 February you’ll need to get busy this weekend to find that special gift or experience for your loved one. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Songstress hits airwaves By Margie Maccoll Cora Ledwith is riding the airwaves of success after the 16-year-old singer songwriter began, just last year, making a name for herself on the local stage. In 2022 Cora was a finalist in the Noosa Alive inaugural Stars Alive program and at the Noosa Busking Championships gained first prize for best original song and second place overall. This month, on 24 February, the teenager will be releasing her first single, Romeo and Juliet, a milestone that feels a long time coming for the rising star. “I’ve been playing across the coast and Noosa for about two years and writing my own music and I’m finally releasing a new song,“ Cora said. “It’s been a long journey to get here and I’ve been saving my gig money to get this song recorded. “I have pretty much been singing since I could speak, my parents tell me, and have grown up listening and loving all types of music with my family. I have always felt it’s somewhere in my destiny to sing.” Cora plays acoustic and electric guitar and performs a variety of music, including pop, rock, R&B and musical theatre, drawing inspiration from listening to the music of artists such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Pink and Lady Gaga. In her first release, Romeo and Juliet, Cora performs all her own harmonies and vocal work. “It’s gone from an acoustic ballad to quite an upbeat pop song,” she said. “The song is about wanting a perfect relationship dreaming about what you could have with someone but knowing it will never be like that and the reality of a person messing you around making a joke out of you, but I just want that perfect love story, like Romeo and Juliet.

Cora Ledwith poses for her single release of Romeo and Juliet.

Cora Ledwith, 16, will release her first single on 24 February. “I’m excited to get it out there.” Cora has begun Year 12 at school and is expecting a busy year with a future in music. “I want music to be my career, I believe it’s my destiny and I would love to share my original music with people, while continuing to be inspired by others and my favourite artists,” she said.

“I live and breathe singing and performing and love nothing more than when I am playing gigs at the weekends and letting everyone hear my music. “I play all across the Sunshine Coast and Noosa pretty much every weekend. When I’m not performing, I spend most of my free time writing original music, playing guitar and recording renditions of songs. My aim is to keep

Council looking at options as holiday parks booming By Margie Maccoll A boom in holiday park numbers had Noosa councillors on Tuesday asking if there were other sites available for expansion. Cr Amelia Lorentson asked officers if there was the opportunity to open another park “given the huge success of existing sites“ and inquired on the situation with John’s Landing. The former privately-owned campsite was bought by council in 2017 for about $2 million from a combination of funds from the environment levy and general rates with the aim to rehabilitate the land before creating an eco-camping area, council heard. Cr Joe Jurisevic said he recalled there had been a five-year plan at the time to complete the rehabilitation and removal of contaminants which should now be completed. Council’s officer said a discussion on the

Camping in Noosa is soaring in popularity. future of John’s Landing would be more appropriate at an internal workshop. When Cr Frank Wilkie asked about the opportunities available to offer guests new experiences, he was told possibilities existed

to introduce fixed accommodation units or clamping sites such as those recently tendered for at Cotton Tree by Sunshine Coast Council. The benefit to the region and commercial performance were issues to be considered, the officer said. Council’s holiday park report showed bookings were 15 per cent above expected levels and numbers were up 3000 in just the past six months. A council officer attributed the increase across Noosa’s three council-owned parks at Noosa River, Boreen Point and Noosa North Shore to a new preventative maintenance program and high quality service alongside an increased consumer demand for camping and caravanning. The report showed differences in demographics across the parks with Noosa River Park attracting more of an older generation

with sites tending to be rented by couples who stayed for longer periods, compared to Noosa North Shore and Boreen Point which were more attractive to families who tended to stay shorter periods. Cr Lorentson also raised the issue of illegal camping citing recent reports on social media of illegal campers at Noosa Woods who, unable to use locked toilet facilities, were instead relieving themselves in the bushes. She asked if facilities could remain open for public use instead of being shut at 4pm. Noosa CEO Scott Waters said the issue of illegal camping involved two council departments being parks and gardens and infringements and council would look at addressing the issue with signage and infringements as well as making sure the community which could include local fishermen had available amenities.

Valuing our blue spaces From page 1 PHIL: In the introduction to your MSQ submission, you say that “BIA is an advocate for boaters and the boating lifestyle and supports safe, responsible, and enjoyable boating”, but you also describe the enormous size of the industry, which is just a little bit scary. NEIL: The boating economy generates significant benefits through employment. In 2021 the industry reported national turnover of $9.55 billion, directly employed more than 26,000 people with more than 8000 contractors. Seventy-five per cent are in small family businesses, employing local workers and supporting local communities. With more than 85 per cent of the population living within 50km of the coast, it is little wonder that almost one in five households have a boat or watercraft. People of all ages, gender and ability can participate in boating across paddle, sail and power. In our conversations with government we say that the target is to get it right socially, economically, environmentally and culturally. They should be the four targets of any legislative approach, all equal, not picking one above the others. Sustainability of the industry is one of the values that BIA puts enormous weight on.

We’re not just talking about environmental sustainability but also of access and of business. We want to see more people getting on the water, but doing so responsibly, because it’s those moments of irresponsibility that ruin it for everyone. While some in the community might be at odds with BIA over us wanting to see more vessels on the river, it’s important to realise that the problem is too many of the wrong kind of boats. The problem is not about a vessel, it’s about the way a vessel is managed, and the behaviour around its use. Personally and from an industry point of view, I would find it extremely troubling if there were caps on access, for example. I feel that generally, not just about boating. I’m also a surfer and I think it’s awesome that so many people can get into the water and enjoy riding waves. Crowds can be challenging, but who has the right to say no, you can’t go surfing because there are too many people doing it? It’s about putting controls in place to make sure behaviour is as good as it can be. This is not unique. It’s been managed in other places. It’s about the behavioural challenge and the vessel control challenge, both of them fixable.

A RIVER FOR ALL

Busy day on the lower estuary.

A river for all, paddle, sail and power.

The river the way the locals like it.

PHIL: You’ve suggested modifications to MSQ’s proposals in several areas. Anchoring? NEIL: The BIA position on anchoring is 28 days on one site, and 90 days in total, which means in state waters, so at anchor in Queensland. My view is that anchoring is not really a right for an individual to hold anchor in a popular waterway. In less congested areas it might be OK, but where you’ve got competing needs in the wider community permanent anchoring is a real problem. What I’ve outlined is the current system in NSW but it only works if you have a mooring system with designated, well-considered zones, not blocking fairways and channels but considered from a navigational and public amenity point of view. Paid structures within a mix of courtesy moorings. If you want to leave your boat here more or less permanently, you pay. My position on anchoring is based on longstanding maritime conventions and seafaring tradition. If you’ve got a boat and you’re off travelling and adventuring, you should be able to come into any safe haven for rest, recovery, repair, and exploring, which is a totally different concept to permanent parking. It’s about social equity. The BIA view is that you can’t cherry-pick issues on this, you have to take a systems approach, looking at every aspect of managing the river, and that includes an anchorage zone for visiting vessels. Now is the time that MSQ has to act on an-

choring because if they don’t, it’s an endorsement that what is out there now is OK, which is not OK for all the people who want to enjoy the river, and from an industry point of view it’s absolutely wrong. It’s an issue across Queensland waterways but it’s worse here than any other. BIA totally supports the idea of tackling the issues here in Noosa first, because if they get the model right that would become the framework for everywhere else. Basically, the most beautiful places on the coast tend to become capture points for vessels approaching or having reached end of life. PHIL: Have we got capacity for many more moorings? NEIL: It’s hard to tell how much space there is with all the clutter from boats at permanent anchor. It’s chaotic with people anchoring wherever they want for as long as they want without considering the amenity of other people or safe navigation. If MSQ and/or council mapped the waterway with all the anchored boats stripped out, I’d be quite confident that many more moorings could be made available at a fee. The other good thing about moorings as opposed to anchorages is they don’t threaten seagrass in the same way, and there are environmentallyfriendly versions available. You also have to factor in onshore infrastructure, like dry-stacks for boats and dedicated off-road space for trailers.

PHIL: Speed limits? NEIL: MSQ currently has speed limits that nobody knows about, so there’s no point changing them unless you have education and compliance. I know they get that and they have dialled up compliance over the past couple of years, but what I’ve outlined, which is a sustained program of education and compliance, would need a lot of funding. From an industry point of view, we think paddling and sailing are awesome because they’re the entry points into a lifetime of boating. That’s why we don’t like talk of capping numbers. That’s not the solution, you manage it. From a responsible boating point of view, people should have it embedded in their brains without question that in narrow channels and where people are in the water, it’s six knots. That’s the basis of the education and it’s what is missing here because the culture has been allowed to go down a different path. The idea of skipper responsibility is largely laid out in the International Collision Regulations (COLREGS) which in turn are based on maritime conventions which apply in almost every country in the world. If you have faith in skipper responsibility you don’t need to put signs up everywhere. The combination of skipper responsibility and COLREGS is your enforcement package, you can get a ticket or a court process based on that and they can be applied to anyone hiring a canoe or a tinnie, but no

one seems to know that. PHIL: What does MSQ need to do with all this input? NEIL: The MSQ proposals need to be pared back, simplified to the point where everyone can understand every aspect. They need to look at other successful models, use the systems that are in place and recognised around the world, and educate people to the rules. MSQ know that they need to step up, but they also know that government has to step up with better funding. PHIL: And do you see that coming? NEIL: This is an international tourist destination of massive appeal, as well as a significant resident population who want to use the waterway, so they need to put the effort in here that reflects that. It can’t be left to sort itself out, so MSQ needs more support from government, and I’d like to think that the state government recognises that this is a high value proposition about what a coastal resort should look like now and into the future. It’s also about a systems approach to safety – safe boats, safe people, safe waterways. Right now, it’s not a safe waterway because you have boats at anchor without lights in unsafe places. That’s a fundamental fail under international rules. Getting it right will be an ongoing benefit to both residents and visitors.

Kabi’s seat at the table By Phil Jarratt On a drizzly, steamy day in Noosa National Park last week, Norman Bond, the chairman of the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation, seated next to Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon at a long and rickety camp table on the lawn beside Laguna Bay, cast his eye around the gathering and said: “I grew up in Cherbourg and never thought we’d have opportunities like this.” This would be the first of several mentions by the five members of the Kabi Kabi Native Title claimant group present of the unlikelihood of this, a seat at the table. However humble and informal the occasion may have been, it symbolised, not only for the Kabi Kabi, but for everyone there, the new way we manage national parks in Queensland. Not in consultation, but in partnership. The occasion was the launch of the Noosa Area Management Plan 2022, a 31-page document that sets the management agenda for the next decade for the five parks in Noosa Shire under the jurisdiction of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, including the iconic headland section of Noosa National Park. And it is the clearest documentation yet of how Native Title will and should work in practical ways now and into the future. As Ms Scanlon noted on social media: “Today we officially launched the new Noosa Area Management Plan, setting out the key values and management priorities of the park with the Kabi Kabi traditional owners.” Plan 2022 doesn’t beat around the bush, so to speak. On its first page it declares: “This management plan has been prepared and co-designed by the Kabi Kabi People and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), Department of Environment and Science. “The Department… recognises, respects and values First Nations peoples and cul-

Kabi Kabi chairman Norman Bond. tures. “We recognise First Nations rights and interests in the Country on which we walk, work and live. We are committed to progressing self-determination by working in genuine partnerships with First Nations peoples to incorporate their priorities and perspectives across our decision-making and operations. The Gurra Gurra Framework 2020–2026 prioritises and accelerates this commitment, guiding the agency to embed Country and people

Picture: ROB MACCOLL at the centre of all that we do.” Sound and fury signifying nothing? Well, no, as evidenced by the people sitting around the table in the park, and the fact that behind the scenes Kabi Kabi people have been active in park management for quite some time, particularly elder Kerry Jones, who has worked with QPWS the length and breadth of the Sunshine Coast, helping to incorporate

traditional ways of caring for country, including cultural burning. This may have been a low-key “coming out” for the Kabi Kabi as park managers, but the Noosa Area Management Plan details on every other page the real ways in which this partnership will work. And it’s a far cry from what came before. Although it appears to have been revised and updated several times in the intervening years, the last full “Noosa National Park Management Plan” was published more than 23 years ago, in October 1999. This was postMabo decision, Native Title Act and Keating’s Redfern Address, but only just. It treads lightly over mostly uncharted territory. Under the Conservation heading, the 49page plan notes that “sites of social significance will be managed in consultation with local community including Aboriginal groups”. Under Management Obligations it notes: “Native Title claimants must be notified of the plan and, where possible, the undertaking of any prescribed burning”. The 1999 plan contains a lot of “consulting” and “notification” but no mention of any partnership with Kabi Kabi, although under the heading of Cultural Heritage Management, it does offer a hint of a shared future: “A cultural heritage management plan will be developed and will identify Undumbi rights [the original land rights claim was on behalf of Undumbi/ Kabi Kabi] in park management. Desired outcome – the interests of Aboriginal people are reflected through their involvement in the management of the park.” Almost quarter of a century later, we can tick that box, proof positive that while First Nations business doesn’t always move fast, it does move. And while its launch seemed to have been designed so as not to frighten the horses, the management plan itself puts the realisation of an equitable partnership in the full glare of the spotlight on nearly every page.

At the plan launch, l to r: Melissa Bond, Sandy Bolton, Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon, Norman Bond, Cecilia Combo, Brian Warner, Kerry Jones. Meanwhile, back at the table in the park, Norman Bond, the dignified and eloquent Kabi Kabi chairman, said: “This is the way forward for Kabi Kabi. Hopefully the relationships and the partnership we’re building with QPWS will be nurtured well into the future, because the work we do collaboratively is very important. We learn more as we go along, but the journey has to continue, and the values-based framework [of QPWS management] makes sense to us, that’s how we achieve our long-term goals. “Things like traditional burning take time, we understand that, but I always look forward to sitting down and talking to QPWS about these issues, because our leaders in the past didn’t have these opportunities. I feel very optimistic for the future of Kabi Kabi people because of that. We’re not operational in some aspects of land management yet, but we will get there, and our aim is to become established in many areas and train our people up. The opportunity is there for us to work with QPWS and with other stakeholders.” Kerry Jones agreed: “A lot of our country has changed. When they took the old people away it didn’t take long for the land to be managed inappropriately, so if we can teach the young ones to bring back the old ways it will help a lot. But we all learn off each other, that’s the way forward, and it’s how we can tackle nox-

ious weeds without using herbicides. “It’s an ongoing process and I think there’s a lot of employment opportunity for our people in land management, but it can’t be a sixmonth program, it’s got to be ongoing.” Norman Bond: “The opportunities for us are everywhere today, and we have government that supports that change. I’m grateful for that, and I’m sure the majority of Kabi Kabi people think the same way.” Among the goodwill that flowed around the table, along with sausage sandwiches and cold water on a hot day, Kabi Kabi Corporation secretary Brian Warner sounded a note of caution: “It’s about self-determination, and this document [Plan 2022] is an example of that, but we don’t have certainty of that if there’s a change in government because it’s not in the constitution. Right now we have surety in our relationship with QPWS but only through a political party, and if that changes all this collaborative work could disappear or go backwards.” QPWS spokesperson Anthony Ross was reassuring: “I take on board what Brian is saying about certainty and change of government, but I believe we are building partnerships and a trust here that are unstoppable, and will be resilient to any changes.” No doubt the proof will be in the pudding, with the rollout of the Cooloola Great Walk

project expected to be the next project of the Kabi/QPWS partnership, and be ongoing well beyond the life of the current state government. At the meeting in the park, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton was praised by Minister Scanlon for being “an incredible advocate” for the Kabi Kabi partnership. Sandy later told Noosa Today: “This was a new kind of meeting for me and I think it was fantastic to have an open conversation and also to feel the genuine excitement from Kabi, and their positive hope. “But also, their realistic viewpoints about the present and the future. We often speak about Kabi coming home 100 years after being moved to Cherbourg, but I loved hearing the little things from [Kabi director] Cecilia Combo about bringing family back and what it meant to them. I was also thrilled to learn that the relationship between Kabi and government is moving beyond politics. “It means continuity no matter who is elected, and what I saw at the meeting was that the relationship between Kabi Kabi and QPWS is in the very best interests of our national parks. Norman said he never thought he’d see it in his lifetime. That made me feel very proud to have been a small part of it. “I think the Noosa Area Management Plan

is a first for Noosa in that it outlines the partnership between Kabi and QPWS in a way that has never been done before. There has never been such extensive collaboration.” As I left the meeting another participant pulled me aside and said: “You know what this is, don’t you? It’s an example of the Voice at a local level, of Kabi Kabi having the opportunity to talk with decision-makers about what should happen. It’s also an example of making agreements and partnerships at a local level. In that way it starts to mirror the national conversation.” I reflected on that remark several days later when I watched Professor Megan Davis, a co-author of the Uluru Statement From The Heart, repeatedly describe on ABC television the Voice in practice being a “seat at the table” for even the smallest First Nations communities. I thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful, given our lamentable early history with Kabi, if Noosa could now play a pioneering role in that process.

Clear paths for hatchlings From page 1 Among the group was Prue Henschke who volunteers with Coolum and North Shore Coast Care and walks the beach at Peregian’s southern end every morning to keep an eye out for nesting turtles and hatchlings, and collect rubbish. Prue said big pieces of debris she suspects falls from passing boats often arrive on the beach south of Victory Park after storms, but every day she picks up rubbish, along with other beach walkers. She was joined on Saturday by sons Jake, nine, and Cole, seven, who regularly recycle bottles and cans, donating money earned to Coast Care. “As long as we have enough people doing the right thing, you’re always going to have people doing the wrong thing,“ she said. Jewel Sophia, who had volunteered for Coolum and North Shore Coast Care for about 10 years, is an avid community volunteer and was happy to protect the ocean she loves. Louise Blissett, who travelled from Wynnum on Brisbane’s bayside to join friends Toni and Jamie Earl of Tinbeerwah, was surprised by the amount of tiny plastic pieces they found on the beach. Also surprised at the volume of plastic pieces was Megan Pryce who, though only 30, said she doesn’t remember tiny plastic pieces on the beaches when she was a kid. Research conducted recently by CSIRO and the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) found that a turtle had a 22 per cent chance of dying if it ate just one piece of plastic. Once a turtle had 14 plastic items in its gut, there was a 50 per cent likelihood that it would die. “Even a single piece of plastic can kill a turtle,” USC marine biologist Dr Kathy Townsend said. “Two of the turtles we studied had eaten only one piece of plastic, which was enough to kill them. In one case, the gut was punctured and in the other the soft plastic clogged the gut.” The research included a sample of nearly 1000 turtles found dead and washed up on beaches around Australia.

Natasha’s ultra challenge By Abbey Cannan Natasha Price, elite adaptive athlete, Queensland state champion, international marathon winner and Gold Coast Woman of the Year 2020 finalist, will make history when she completes the Noosa Ultra-Trail on 25 March. In what is believed to be a world-first for adaptive athletes, Natasha will complete a modified version of the 15km trail through the Tewantin National Park with her coach, Adam Sheppard. Despite only being in its second year, the Noosa Ultra-Trail is on track to be the largest event of its kind in Queensland with more than 1500 participants expected to tackle the six distances this March. Natasha, who said she’s been lucky to race all over the world, visited the course on Monday 6 February to inspect the terrain ahead of the main event on Saturday 25 March. “When Nick and his team contacted me about taking park in Noosa Ultra-Trail I didn’t hesitate,“ she said. “I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself physically and mentally, so this ticks that box big time. And the fact we get to race in such a beautiful part of the world – who could say no to that?” The state champion said she’s been training for four hours a day in preparation for the event. “I’ve been doing two hours in the gym doing strength training and also in my racing wheelchair out on the road,“ she said. “I’ve been in a chair since 2008 due to a rare disease that hit me overnight, so I’m quite experienced at wheelchair use now. “Come along and see what we’re doing here. It’s all about getting everybody involved.“ Natasha and her coach, Adam Sheppard, will complete a modified version of The Forest 15, a 15km trail that will take them through some of Noosa’s iconic parks and forests. Adam said he hoped more event planners would ensure people of all abilities were included in similar events in the future. “I think other wheelchair users probably haven’t taken part in events like this before because of accessibility concerns,“ he said. “I’m certainly not afraid to give things a go and I guess pave the way [if] need be. This is a great opportunity to do that and show other wheelchair users what is out there and now available for them to do. “There’s a lot of people out there that maybe prior to being in a wheelchair have done things like this on dirt bikes and quad bikes and now the opportunity is there for them to get out in their wheelchairs and do a similar thing.“ With a looped course in Tewantin Forest Reserve the course is 63 per cent trail/soft surface and 37 per cent paved surface. Event director Nick Stewart created the Noosa Ultra-Trail to showcase the beautiful Hinterland region of Noosa while giving the trail running community a chance to compete in one of the most biodiverse places in the world - Noosa.

With the growing popularity of trail running around the globe and Noosa being a world class tourist destination creating an event of global significance was a great opportunity. “It’s hard to believe that our event is only 12 months old and that in our second year we are expecting to be one of the most popular trail running events in Australia,“ Nick said. “Last year we had 1100 participants, and with the support of Tourism and Events Queensland, Noosa Council and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service we anticipate that number will grow to 2000 in 2024. “We are absolutely thrilled to have Natasha and Adam tackle The Forest 15 and help us spotlight the potential accessibility of trails to people of all abilities.“ Deputy Mayor of Noosa and event participant, Frank Wilkie welcomed Natasha and Adam to the shire. “It’s a privilege to welcome an adaptive athlete of Natasha’s calibre to Noosa at the start of 2023 which is the Year of Accessible Tourism in Queensland,“ Cr Wilkie said. “With $12m in Government programs available and the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics on the horizon, we look forward to vastly improved experiences for people with disability and accessibility issues.“ Cr Wilkie said he ran the 25km last year with Nick in training. “I have entered an event this year and I will

Crash teenager dies By Donna Jones A 14-year-old boy has tragically died following a serious traffic crash at Canina on Wednesday last week. Levi Hanna was very publicly farewelled on social media when his parents announced their heartbreaking decision to turn off his lifesupport on Saturday 4 February. “Levi, our gorgeous baby boy, has already left us in one way, but his heart is still going,” the family posted to Facebook on Saturday. “It’s not how my warrior boy would want to be so at 7.14pm tonight we are going to let his soul be free, so he can fish forever. “His little sisters know he will go to sleep and become a star in the sky for all of us to look at. “He’s our boy and we love him and his adventures are far from over. “I know everyone that loves Levi will do what he would want and go fishing for him because that’s what Levi would want.” Different groups on social media remembered the big-hearted young man fondly, from the lawn maintenance company he worked part-time for, to the Junior Rugby League Club of which he was a part. A GoFundMe page set up for the family right after the accident raised more than $20,000 in the three days it was operating. Levi was tragically struck by a Hyundai I30, just after disembarking his school bus, as he was crossing the Tin Can Bay Road at Canina around 3.45pm on Wednesday, 1 February. He was flown by helicopter to the Queensland Children’s Hospital, South Bris-

Levi Hanna’s parents made the heart-breaking decision to turn off the 14-year-old’s life support after he was critically injured when he was struck by a car on Tin Can Bay Road at Canina on 1 February. Picture: GOFUNDME bane in a critical condition from which he did not recover. Calls have been made on social media to have the speed limit along Tin Can Bay Road at that spot dropped to 80kph or to have a dedicated area for school buses to pull off the road to avoid further tragedies.

That section of Tin Can Bay Road was closed for investigations until approximately 7pm on Wednesday. Forensic Crash Unit investigations are continuing and those who may have witnessed the incident or have dashcam/CCTV vision are urged to contact police.

Coast hosts national cyber crime fighters The Sunshine Coast has been selected as the location for a new national organisation aimed at protecting the nation against cyber criminals. The Critical Infrastructure – Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (CI-ISAC), featuring some of the nation’s best and brightest when it comes to “threat intelligence’’, started operations from Maroochydore on 6 February. Under the guidance of CI-ISAC’s chief executive officer David Sandell, the not-for-profit industry-based organisation provides comprehensive information and analysis advice to assist its membership base protect Australia’s most critical infrastructure. The membership will be drawn from 11 key industry sectors representing almost 11,000 entities that include everything from banking, water and power grids to supermarkets and mining. Mr Sandell said the Sunshine Coast had been steadily building its credentials in the cyber and tech space and this had not gone unnoticed for an organisation that is focussed on addressing digital defence-in-depth across Australia’s ICT networks. “Assets that Sunshine Coast Council has been building alone or in partnership over the years were all key drivers to locate such an im-

portant organisation to a region location,” Mr Sandell said. “No one else in regional Australia has the assets we need, including the fastest fibre cable to Asia, diversity of data path to Sydney, a fully fibre-enabled city centre and a new international runway with rapidly growing regional aviation connections. “The local university and TAFE are doing some great things to develop the skilled workforce we need and the future on the Sunshine Coast looks bright.” The new organisation is being led by some of Australia’s best, brightest, and most experienced in the field of threat intelligence and response. Chair of the CI-ISAC Board is Brigadier (retired) Steve Beaumont, who previously served as Director-General of Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, Electronic Warfare and Cyber with the Australian Department of Defence. Also playing a key role in the organisation is Dr Gary Waters, who has worked in the defence and national security space for more than five decades Sunshine Coast Council acting Mayor Rick Baberowski welcomed the news that CI-ISAC would be calling the Sunshine Coast home,

joining the emerging tech eco-system that already includes key corporate players like Next DC, and industry leading bodies such as the Sunshine Coast Tech Industry Alliance. He congratulated board members and founders, Scott Flower and David Sandell, on their decision to create a base and invest on the Sunshine Coast with such an important initiative designed to combat the acceleration in cyberthreats. “A significant part of Australia’s critical infrastructure is owned or managed by local government, and I encourage all 537 Australian local governments to consider the considerable value in becoming a community of cyber defenders,” acting Mayor Baberowski said. “The concept is clear-cut. If we act together and share cyber threat intelligence, we can only get better at pre-empting attacks, while contributing to defending Australia’s data highway and all of the sensitive and personal data public services and businesses collect. “We are proud that the Sunshine Coast will host and participate in an important new sector to develop solutions that can benefit all Australians.” For more information on how to become a member or partner of the CI-ISAC, navigate to ci-isac.com.au/

Licence lost Police from the Sunshine Coast Road Policing Unit have charged a 50-yearold woman after she allegedly returned a 0.419 per cent blood alcohol reading, a potentially lethal dose, following a two vehicle crash in Nambour in December. At approximately 4.20pm on Friday 30 December, police attended a two vehicle traffic crash at the intersection of Lamington Terrace and Magnolia Street in Nambour. The driver and sole occupant of one of the vehicles, a 50-year-old Sunshine Coast woman, was taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries. A blood specimen was taken, with subsequent analysis detecting a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.419 per cent. The woman’s licence was immediately suspended and she has been charged with driving under the influence of liquor (UIL). She was expected to appear before Nambour Magistrates Court on 6 February. Officer in Charge of Highway Patrol Sunshine Coast, Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho, said the woman’s BAC was over the lethal dose. “Drinking alcohol reduces your ability to drive safely. Alcohol affects your judgement, vision, coordination and reflexes—increasing your risk of having a crash,” Senior Sergeant Panoho said. “Blood alcohol concentration is a good indicator of intoxication. BAC is measured in grams of alcohol per 100 ml blood. Therefore, a BAC of 0.05 (Australia’s upper legal limit for driving) indicates 0.05 g of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. “Once alcohol is in your system, even at around 0.05 per cent BAC, it affects the brain’s ability to make rational decisions and you are more likely to take risks. “A lethal dose of alcohol is around 4 grams of alcohol per 100 ml of blood,” Senior Sergeant Panoho said. “The alleged actions of this driver endangered not only her own life but the lives of every other person on the road that day. Don’t drink and drive.”

The woman’s licence was immediately suspended.

Rallying for Kidney Kids By Margie Maccoll After participating in two car rallies to support the Cancer Council, Graeme Meade of Eumundi has teamed up with Bruce Chamberlain of Black Mountain to take part in the 2023 Kidney Kids Kar Rally to raise awareness of kidney disease and help kids suffering from the illness. “Together we form Team Sunshine Blokes Kar97 and have devoted ourselves to supporting the efforts of Kidney Health Australia assisting young children and youths suffering with kidney disease,“ Graeme said. “Unfortunately the numbers of young diagnosed with kidney disease is climbing, it’s a secret killer with no cure, and well worthy of our efforts to support.“ Graeme has discovered the more people he speaks to about kidney disease the more he hears about friends or relatives suffering from the disease and the life-shortening impact of it. According to Transplant Australia people needing a kidney transplant can wait five to seven years. The Australian Government Organ and Tissue authority said there were about 1750 people waiting for an organ transplant and a further 13,000 on dialysis, who may need a transplant. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) said chronic kidney disease (CKD) was generally not diagnosed until it had reached advanced stages where symptoms become more apparent. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys can no longer function adequately, at which point people require kidney replacement therapy (KRT) – a kidney transplant or dialysis – to survive. AIHW figures from 2011-12 showed 1.7 million or 11 per cent of the population had signs of CKD and the incidence was growing.

Bruce Chamberlain and Graeme Meade formed Team Sunshine Blokes Kar97 in the Kidney Kids Kar Rally. CKD is largely preventable because many of its risk factors including high blood pressure, tobacco smoking and obesity are modifiable and other chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, are also risk factors for CKD, according to AIHW. “The more you learn about kidney disease the more you want to look after yourself,“ Graeme said. For more than 50 years, Kidney Health Australia has connected people to information, education and support services they need to preserve their kidney health and live a

On The Soapbox Michael Spicer, Secretary, Peregian Family and Friends

Clubhouse needs attention Last week, the president of environmental group Peregian Beach Community Association was on his Soapbox to explain why the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club would “never” be moved closer to the beach to enable direct beach access in emergencies, passive surveillance after patrol hours and views of the ocean to support long-term financial viability for a club which has gone broke three times in the current location. While it is an opinion piece from someone who is not a lifesaver nor a person who has ever been a member of the club, there are a few facts which need to be corrected in his story. Firstly, volunteer lifesavers patrol on Sundays at Peregian Beach, not Saturdays. Secondly, the clubhouse is not “fit for purpose”, as assessed recently in a building report - it is neither large enough nor in the correct location to adequately support and protect the growing Peregian population. It was just two years ago rated the third worst clubhouse in Queensland by SLSQ and offers sub-standard facilities for its volunteers, including just one toilet for over 50 female volunteers and 80 female nippers, toilets in the male bathroom which over Christmas flooded, spreading sewage across the floor, and showers for members separated by a plastic curtain, hardly adequate under todays’ child protection and privacy requirements. It reeks of rat urine due to holes which are easily accessed by vermin, riddled with asbestos and has no accessible access for community members with a disability. The interior was not “gutted and refurbished

Lifesavers on Peregian Beach in 2017” – there was some structural repair done to support the deck which was unsafe and the commercial kitchen and bar was removed, a significant loss to the income-producing opportunity for the Club. While other surf clubs in Noosa Shire sit overlooking the beach, allowing excellent access for resources and equipment for rescues, Peregian sits at the back of a busy park, which is busy with thousands of market-goers on Sundays when the beach is also at its busiest. Peregian Originals, returning soon, will add to congestion. Any lifesaver who has tried to navigate a loaded trailer or ‘all-terrain vehicle’ through the crowd will tell you that in an emergency, precious moments may be wasted. The beach is currently accreting, meaning it is in a period of the dunes building up gradually. At some point they will erode again, and then accrete again. That is nature.

Under the relevant legislation, ‘coastal-dependent infrastructure’ may be built in zones which may or may not be at risk of sea-level rises by 2040 or 2100. Jetties, marinas and surf clubs are all deemed to be appropriately sited in these zones because they need to be close to the ocean. Modern design, engineering, technology and construction can combat any potential sea levels rises and it’s exciting to imagine the solutions talented architects could come up with – could we build the world’s most sustainable, transportable surf club – right here in Noosa? The previous clubhouse mentioned in the Soapbox was a basic shelter located on the actual sand dunes in the 1960s (see picture) – its demise is continually trotted out by the PBCA as an example of what could happen when the sky falls in, but has absolutely no relevance to the potential future location, structure or materials of a new, fit for purpose Peregian Surf Club. While building membership is currently the fo-

cus for the surf club, it won’t be Mr Cotterell or his organisation which determines what happens with the building, it will be active lifesavers who will decide in which direction that goes. Mr Cotterell then goes on to speak on behalf of the Queensland Government – “the state will not approve changing the reserve required for a building on the dunes”, Surf Life Saving Queensland – “Surf Life Saving Queensland would not agree to place the clubhouse at risk by such an application” and finally the Peregian Surf Club president. Lastly, the comments about residents from other shires is the typical ‘shut the gate’ attitude we see from the PBCA. The “fringe groups” referred to outside Noosa Shire are the large number of disenfranchised young families based in Peregian Springs and Peregian Breeze, who support the surf club through their volunteering and nipper involvement. Peregian Beach belongs to all of us, regardless of which shire we live in, and the entire Peregian and broader community is entitled to visit it and to have a say in the future surf club. Most Noosa Councillors recognise this and understand as trustees they have a moral responsibility to cater for the whole Peregian community beyond the anomalous shire boundaries. Dealing only with the facts, what we know is that a 2018 community survey of 800 Peregian Beach users, found that 62 per cent agreed with the statement that “We need to make sure that the building has an ocean view to enable better visibility of the water for beach-goer safety and to provide an attractive upstairs space.”

Spencer’s ongoing battle By Margie Maccoll Spencer Hitchen, 11, has a special affinity with the Glossy Black Cockatoo that carries him on a continuing journey to advocate for the protection of the unique wallum habitat in which the endangered species reside. For the past couple of years he and his mother Maxine have been at the forefront of a community protest against an aged care development by Uniting Care at Lot 6 and Lot 9, Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach, in a wallum area containing known Glossy Black Cockatoo feeding trees, black she-oaks, favoured by the fussy eaters. Uniting Care obtained council approval for the development before the Glossy Blacks were listed endangered and prior to the release of the Threatened Species Action Plan last October by Environment and Water Minister Tanya Plibersek aimed at zero future extinctions. Lot 6 has already been cleared and construction begun on the nursing home stage of the project. Uniting Care has invested in offsets with she-oak plantings though there have been some technical issues with some planted on a former dump site and no guarantee of them, when mature, being considered favourably by the Glossy Blacks. Spencer’s efforts have caught the attention of many. His petition calling for the protection of the wallum has attracted almost 75,000 signatures. He appeared recently on ABC’s 7.30 Report, and has won praise from celebrity gardener Costa Georgiadis, who said: “Spencer sees the world through a unique lens of compassion and empathy for nature. His love and determination to protect the valuable and unique ecosystem that is the wallum is an inspiration for us all to draw on“. Community concerns led Noosa Biosphere

Spencer Hitchen with his calendar. Reserve Foundation to convene a symposium on the Glossy Black Cockatoo and research on an action plan to secure their future is ongoing. Last month Spencer and Maxine attended Noosa Council’s Ordinary Meeting to ask questions of the councillors. Spencer pleaded for council to discuss a land swap with Uniting Care but were told council had been in previous discussions with Uniting Care on a land swap and been advised it was “not practical given the significant investment into the current design and approvals, the lack of vegetation-free land available,

and the existing church congregation who are an important component of the precinct and who would be unfairly disrupted if they had to relocate“. Spencer then asked council for evidence from Uniting Care that the community would be safe in the event of a bushfire in the surrounds . Council said it was willing to contact Uniting Care to seek a further response to the question, noting the applications for landscaping for lot 6 and lot 9 had not yet been lodged with council. In an effort to better educate the public about Glossy Black Cockatoos and the wallum,

Spencer created a 2023 calendar that contains images, almost all of which have been taken by the budding wildlife photographer, and information on the fauna and flora of the wallum, with proceeds from the sale of the calendar going toward the protection of the wallum. The calendars have been widely sponsored by organisations including Tourism Noosa, Birdlife Southern Queensland and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots. and are on sale at Noosa Farmers Market on Sunday mornings.

Forum will help small businesses Getting back to business sooner following a disaster will be the focus of a 28 February forum for small business. Noosa’s small businesses, local chambers of commerce and other agencies that assist small businesses are encouraged to attend the event, hosted by Noosa Council. “The free two-hour forum will give coast and hinterland business owners practical advice to help them bounce back following a disaster, as well as expert tips for applying for business recovery grants,” council’s disaster resilience officer, Ian Williams, said. The evening event will feature speakers from facilitators Articulous - a Brisbane-based company specialising in community engagement and crisis communication. “They’ll provide insights on disaster risks and resources and the best ways to communicate with customers and suppliers following a disaster, as well as advice in being prepared for future disasters,” Mr Williams said. The evening will also focus on where to go for disaster information and resources, how to plan for and recover from disasters and how to communicate with customers and suppliers following a disaster. President of Pomona and District Chamber of Commerce, Phil Moran, said the forum would be welcomed by his members and was sure to be well attended by local small businesses. “As we all know, it’s been a tough few years, so learning more about the small business disaster recovery grants currently available and how to apply for them can only be a good thing for all of us.

Phil Moran and Ian Williams “Having additional speakers from QRIDA and the Insurance Council of Australia will also be a great help. I’m really looking forward to attending,” Mr Moran said. The forum is on Tuesday 28 February at The J, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Junction, at 5.30pm arrival for a light supper before the 6pm start, and it will finish at 8pm.

The Guide GARDENING AUSTRALIA ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm

You don’t need to be a green thumb to adore this longrunning gardening series. Featuring a tribe of passionate and interesting presenters, they are the secret to its success. Returning with its 24th season (or 34th year of episodes) tonight, effervescent host Costa Georgiadis and his crew – including new team members Tammy Huynh and Hannah Moloney – are in Melbourne’s lush Royal Botanic Gardens. The episode is flush with many varied segments, but highlights include Hannah chatting with a First Nations educator at the Botanic Gardens about the gardens’ history and Sophie visiting the plot of an acclaimed landscaper. THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES SBS, Saturday, 7.35pm

Settle in with a soft pillow and your favourite cup of tea for this exquisite new series. As the title helpfully suggests, this eight-episode visual extravaganza reveals the world’s most gorgeous scenery, but what you may not realise is how the show will allow you to unwind: it’s the visual equivalent of a meditation session. Each episode covers a specific area – Queensland, the Amazon and the Scottish Highlands all enjoy the limelight – with geology, culture and even locals all playing a part. Narrated by English actor Robert Lindsay, the knockout spectacle begins in Snowdonia, Wales, with its wildlife, slate mines and mountain peaks.

On the road: Kurt Fearnley takes Back Roads to Tennant Creek.

BACK ROADS ABC TV, Monday, 8pm

Veteran presenter Heather Ewart hands the reins to champion Paralympian Kurt Fearnley for tonight’s exploration of a close-knit regional community. This series is celebrated for its inspirational storytelling in remote communities and townships around Australia and tonight, in its ninth season, the Northern Territory’s Tennant Creek gets the chance to spotlight its best side. Fearnley has a way with words and connecting with the locals as he discovers the heartening side to a town that has often been associated with crime. He meets an informal group of artists, known as the Tennant Creek Brio, uncovering a non-judgemental community along the way.

The Beatles reminded us all that all we need is love, and what better thing to do than look at the world through rose-coloured glasses? After Croatians Andela and Davor Rostuhar married, they felt so loveydovey that they decided to spend their “honeymoon” gallivanting around the world interviewing other couples about love. They spent a year getting to know 130 couples in 30 different countries, with most of the footage taking place inside the lovers’ homes. It’s an intimate, gentle and moving set of portraits, with Andela and Davor crafting a love letter to, well, love; the whole viewing experience, from the camera work, editing and interviewing, was all done themselves.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

On The Soapbox Cr Tom Wegner

Tourism Noosa a target Tourism Noosa has been the most recent target of criticism in letters to the editor of Noosa Today and on local social media. Specifically, TN has been accused of “greenwashing” its key initiatives and that “Tourism Noosa appears to be disinterested in true environmental sustainability”. My experience of TN has been quite the opposite. In 2018, the annual Noosa Festival of Surfing ran as the first “plastic-free event” in Noosa. Event volunteers stood in the late summer heat, next to the rubbish bins, educating the punters on which bins to use. I was impressed with this scene. I thought, this is what it takes to change our habits. The Plastic Free Noosa program had started as a Boomerang Alliance initiative, working closely with TN. By 2020 TN had taken over management of the program where it has continued to evolve and is now embedded in event strategy and Noosa culture. The Plastic Free Noosa program includes 179 participating local businesses and has eliminated close to 12 million single-use plastics from circulation since February 2018. TN has a long-range goal of eliminating single-use plastics entirely and replacing them with sustainable, compostable alternatives. This is ambitious and important work. Last year I visited the Earthborn Composting facility in Palmwoods to learn first-hand about utilising green waste. All the food waste from a TN event had been diverted from landfill via dedicated food waste bins. The bins, managed by Party Bins, are participants in the Tourism Noosa Sustainable Events Program. They were now in the bottom of the composting pit in Palmwoods where two workers were painstakingly separating out bits of plastic from food waste, before it could move on to composting. To me, this was the coalface of climate action. It was hot and unpleasant in that pit. It took dedication and grit to be there. That is what it takes to get to zero emissions and to create a circular economy. Taking it to the next level, Tourism Noosa introduced a commercial composting trial, inviting seven local food and beverage venues to participate in an organic waste collection and

Noosa composting initiative. The trial gathered vital data and provided essential information towards diverting organic waste and compostables from landfill (which creates a big part of Noosa’s overall emissions). During the trial 3.425 tonnes of organic waste was diverted from landfill to a commercial composting facility, saving 3.425 tonnes of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. At TN’s visitor information centre I enjoy talking to the 80-plus volunteers (the number of vollies, not their age!) and I listen to them tirelessly bolster the Noosa environmental credentials to all who pass by. These volunteers are the face of Noosa and add a value well beyond any dollars. The Tread Lightly Noosa program is directing the tourism experience in a responsible and environmentally sensitive direction. I joined one of the first tours which I found incredibly enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable. I have a new respect for the little shore

Noosa councillor Tom Wegener birds who fly nonstop from Siberia and Alaska just to enjoy Noosa, and then fly back. We learned about these birds and others from a respectful distance and I see the potential and value in environmental tourism for the future. Under TN, the Trees for Tourism program has raised over $45,000 and has planted 6542 trees. Most recently I joined volunteers who planted saplings to regenerate John’s Landing. Perhaps of most value is Tourism Noosa’s ability to obtain information (or data) and share with its member base, community and council. (Very hard to put a dollar value on this type of resource and something that private consultants charge an arm and a leg for!) For example, one statistic of importance is that, “sustainable travel is now a consideration for 81 per cent of global travelers”. Further, “A regenerative desire is also beginning to emerge amongst travellers, with 59 per cent wanting to leave places they visit better than when they arrived”. (Plastic Free Annual Highlights Report).

I am not alone in my appreciation of TN’s environmental programs. These efforts have been recognised by Australia’s most prestigious media and marketing awards, the Mumbrella Awards, with Tourism Noosa winning the top award for Sustainable Practices 2022. The judges acknowledged that “this was a grassroots, community focused, environmental campaign approach with direct evidence of making a difference.” (Plastic Free Annual Highlights 2022). Tourism Noosa extends its efforts well and truly past the traditional focus of destination marketing. My own experiences exemplify TN’s dedication to environmental causes. TN has many other environmental programs that I did not mention. Noosa brand management is TN’s primary goal and I believe its environmental programs have been very effective in supporting our wonderful home. It’s high time that any ideas to the contrary are buried for composting.

Have your say on Sunshine Coast Motorway designs The Sunshine Coast community is being asked to have its say on new concept designs for a major Sunshine Motorway upgrade. A 10-kilometre section of the Sunshine Motorway between David Low Way and YandinaCoolum Road has been identified for duplication from two to four lanes to accommodate future growth. Nicklin MP Rob Skelton said the preferred option would see the Yandina-Coolum Road roundabout upgraded significantly, as well as a new active transport part connecting Pacific Paradise to Coolum Beach. “This stretch of the Sunshine Motorway is crucial – in fact, it carries 30,000 vehicles a day,” Mr Skelton said. “Sunshine Coast motorists will love these new lanes, which will make the highway safer and more efficient. “It’s part of our more than $3 billion, fouryear transport and road plan for the Sunshine Coast, supporting 2700 good, secure jobs. “We’re making it easier to move around the state, helping Queenslanders spend less time behind the wheel and more enjoying our great lifestyle.” Other key features of the preferred option include: Provision for south facing ramps at West Coolum Road. Realignment of Yandina-Coolum Road to the west of the motorway.

We’re now encouraging everyone to have their say once again and help refine the preferred option.“ Consultation will close on 26 February.

Trio from Scotland spend gap year at St Andrew’s After a two-year hiatus, St Andrew’s Anglican College has relaunched its gap year program - Beyond. Three Scottish gap-year students, Ailsa, Caitlyn and Rachel have arrived at the Peregian Springs–based school to assist around the College. In return, three 2022 St Andrews graduates, Abi, Lucy Stephenson and Jimmy Rudkin have moved to Scotland for 12 months to work at one of two prestigious partner schools in Edinburgh, ESMS and George Watson’s College. With visions of Australia filled with monster-like spiders and snakes at every corner, Australia has thankfully not been what the three Scottish girls expected so far. Despite an early incident with a cockroach, and a brush with the Queensland sun, sport-loving Rachel is now embracing the vastly different fauna, sunscreen and is now looking forward to lots of new experiences. “I’m most looking forward to being able to work with new people and explore a new lifestyle and way of living such as checking under my pillow for spiders and not having to layer up with jumpers and jackets to simply leave my house,” she said. “I’m especially excited to be training with a new swimming squad and be able to work closely with the sports department as I love all sports. I’m also excited to learn more about AFL and seeing what it is all about. “Since arriving in Australia the gappies and I have been especially amazed at how friendly and kind every single person has

been to us and how welcoming everyone at St Andrews has been towards us.” After her gap year, Rachel, who is also a national-level swimmer, is hoping to study business and marketing at Edinburgh University and continue her swimming career within their high performing programme. Caitlin will study medicine at university, and Ailsa aims to study English literature and politics at University of York in England. A gap year is when a student takes a break from their formal education to pursue other interests or experiences and gain new perspectives, learn new skills, and realworld experience before entering higher education. The highly successful gap year program has been running at St Andrew’s for more than eight years, headed by Tim Barrett. “Our Beyond program is designed to connect our students with information and opportunities related to post-year 12 travel and education,” Mr Barrett said. “Our long-standing partnership with ESMS and George Watson’s College provides our students with unparalleled access to resources and experiences that will help them to experience the world, develop their intercultural understanding, and grow skills that will assist them in their chosen future endeavours. “It also helps empower students to take ownership of their own life direction and to improve their knowledge and skills relevant to their potential vocation and go on to make informed decisions about their future career plans.”

Here’s a hilarious sidelight to the Australia Day Honours List. In this era of being scammed every time you get out of the shower — OK, every time you answer a phone or go on line … Last September a friend in Victoria received an email purporting to be from the GovernorGeneral’s office, asking if she would accept an honour recommended for her. Swiftly interpreting it as a scam, she shoved it in the junk folder. Weeks later, emptying the folder, she decided to ring the Governor General’s office to alert them to a scam being conducted under their name. They were delighted to inform her that, in fact, she was on the Honours List. And now from a grumpy old woman: Perhaps prolific correspondent Ernest Wright has the answer: Why oh why do so very many

years and years of inaction rather than proactively developing this site into a useful community asset. The lack of affordable accommodation for workers in Noosa could be solved very quickly by placing 100+ tiny houses throughout the TAFE grounds. The existing buildings could be repurposed to serve a workers village with small retail outlets, a workers’ canteen, communal recreational areas and possibly even communal amenities. The solution to providing affordable accommodation in Noosa is only being hindered by red tape, buck passing, a lack of lateral thinking and the collaboration of our local and state levels of government to get off their bums.

How many residents are actually aware of the proposal to expand the RACV resort when the council place proposed development signs on a roundabout?

I am more than a little confused and concerned about council writing letters to appeal to Noosa holiday home owners and short term let owners to rent their homes to long term tenants instead. I can understand the sentiments behind that move, though I’m sure the people involved would have chosen long term tenants, if they wanted to. Obviously some want to use their homes themselves at certain times of the year. I understand that Noosa Council obtained the names and addresses of those home owners from the latest census data? The particular question of: “Where were you on the evening of .......” Online it states: “ Law protects the secrecy of your information. Under the Census and Statistics Act 1905, the personal information you provide in the Census remains strictly confidential to the ABS. The ABS never has and never will release identifiable Census data.” This leads one to wonder what other “marketing” the “confidential” Census data may be used for? This should be a concern to everyone and does nothing to promote confidence in

I applaud Phil Jarratt for his investment in the environmentally friendly e-moped (Noosa Today 13 Jan) However, is he aware that with the custom board rack bolted to his moped, every time he ventures onto a public road in Qld, with or without surf board attached, he is breaking the law and liable to a significant fine? (Section 13M Qld Transport Operations Regulation refers) For many years now, local police have, rightly or wrongly, been turning a blind eye to such practise, a story in itself. There are many hundreds, perhaps thousands of similarly modified scooters being ridden up and down the Qld coast on a daily basis and should any one of these seriously injure, or worse, a pedestrian in an accident, will the owner’s insurance company honour the potentially eye watering claim after they find out that the scooter was fitted with a surf rack and thus being ridden on a public road illegally?

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

The Yurol State Forest is a small part of the area of 328,849ha of Queensland’s State plantations leased for about 90 years in approx. 2008 to HQ Plantations. Handcock Queensland is a subsidiary of a private USA timber conglomeration. These plantations were established with state and federal funds on-ward from the 1930s and the Bligh Government sold the lease for over $320m (abt $1000/ha) with management rights to extract existing timber and replant trees on a 30 to 50 year rotation. The $3.6m paid for Yurol’s 2400ha was for the surrender of the remaining lease term and the lost opportunity to grow and harvest additional rotations of pines within the remaining time. The $3.6m represents a net future value of $28 to $30m in 40 years at five per cent when a new rotation is harvestable and approx. $1500/ha. No details were provided, but observations indicate that HQ Planation is undertaking a salvage logging of Yurol. The area contained mostly 50 year old hardwood and softwood plantations and narrow strips of native forest along drainage ways. The timber being extracted is of high quality and value. HQ Plantations may have had good management reasons for not wanting to replant the Yurol area which is well south of their main operations at Toolara. Last year Noosa Today mentioned that Greenfleet paid $4.6m for the carbon credits that could accrue as the heavily logged forest recovers over the next 40 to 100 years. Greenfleet has a “not for profit” constitution (meaning any profits paid as benefits to members are tax exempt) , is registered to accept tax deductible contributions , and employs about 40 full time staff. Greenfleet sells carbon credits to CO2 polluting industries. The terms around this payment are not known, such as who received the payment, or when it is to be paid. Nothing is known about what income Greenfeet may receive from selling the carbon credits. Questions must be answered on why the State, Council or NPA is not receiving royalties from sales of carbon credits which accumulate as the Yurol forest regenerates. Previously, Phil mentioned that Landcare would undertake enrichment plantings to restore Yurol. It is not known how much work this will entail, or who is contracting or funding it. Landcare is heavily dependent on Government grants, and if this work is so funded, it is an additional coast to the public purse. Additionally, as this forest regrows it will develop a heavy fuel load and require bushfire management measures by the National Parks Service. While the majority of funding for the Yurol conversion is taxpayer’s, the sources of $1.2m gratefully provided by Noosa Parks Association should be publicly acknowledge, including any fees paid to NPA or consultants for assisting in the Yurol conversion from State Forest to National Park.

Leanne Airey recently captured this image in the Noosa Hinterland of Mount Pinbarren and surrounds. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au by stunning, unique natural beauty, we are a wealthy country which produces more food than we need and are possessed of abundant natural resources. Last week on Australia Day, a small group of citizens across the country mounted local or larger campaigns to express shame in celebrating our wonderful country and in some cases to denigrate those who choose to admire Australia for being the country it is. On the same day, the silent majority did what the silent majority does – which is to quietly get on with life and enjoy the opportunity to not only spend precious extra time with family, but to consider the many ways in which being born as an Australian or becoming an Australian via migration is the equivalent of winning the citizenship lottery. There have been many analyses written which seek to understand the Australian ‘personality’ – who we are and why we are this way. Australians are a laid-back, easy-going people who value mateship, telling it like it is, fairness, having a crack and sticking up for the underdog. We don’t really like being told what to do, how to think, or being subject to hierarchical control. On Australia Day, the silent majority turned out across the land to celebrate with family and friends our good fortune to live in Aus-

tralia, quietly, without trying to impose their views on others who might disagree with them. Meanwhile, small fringe groups shouted in the streets, declared war on their own country and bewailed our imperfect history. No country has an unblemished record of perfect peace and harmony. History shows that both modern and ancient nations alike have been historically born through bloodshed, war and conflict. Bastille Day, the national day in France, was similarly set on that date to remember the day the Bastille was stormed by a group of revolutionaries in 1789, a significant moment of the blood-soaked French revolution. The following year, a massive parade (the Fete de la Federation) on the anniversary date of 14 July, 1790, was deemed to be the occasion which should be celebrated as the national day, replacing the original 14 July event as the focus of celebration, which continues to this day. January 26 was the day that Captain Phillip planted the flag in 1788, but significantly, also on January 26, the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 came into effect in 1949, creating the concept of Australian citizenship (rather than Australians being deemed British citizens) for the first time. Isn’t this subsequent event worth celebrating by all Australians as the French do?

A colleague recently remarked that he looked forward to a future Australia where the many rivulets of the Australian stream joined together in unity – First Australians who took care of the land for so many thousands of years, the British masters who were sent to create a new outpost of English-ness for the Crown, the convicts who were forced here in terrible conditions to work and die, and the immigrants who came after, bringing their skills, their work ethic and their culture. Rather than paint a picture of race-based division I believe the silent majority would prefer us to be focused on working to fix the current problems our First Australians are experiencing. Let’s put the energy from protests, social media complaining, boycotts and virtue-signalling into understanding the real issues of domestic and family violence, alcohol-dependency and child sexual abuse which Australians are experiencing at rates up to four times higher in predominantly Indigenous communities when compared to predominantly nonIndigenous communities. Forget a flag being planted 235 years ago in Sydney - this is our national shame, and the silent majority want it fixed. Leigh McCready, Noosa

Complaints win consumer refunds for Sunshine Coast The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has successfully clawed back almost $1 million for Sunshine Coast consumers in 2022 following a statewide spike in consumer complaints since the pandemic. The OFT investigated almost 1500 complaints in the Sunshine Coast region, resulting in the return of more than $930,000 to customers. The top five most complained about industries in the region were personal and household goods, personal and household services, accommodation including hotels and motels, motor vehicle sales and travel agents. Attorney-General and Justice Minister Shannon Fentiman said with more Queenslanders feeling the pressure from the rising cost of living, it was important that consumers were getting what they paid for and that they felt they were getting value for money. Statewide OFT retrieved more than $11.2 million for last year’s unhappy customers. “Last year the OFT finalised more than

Attorney-General and Justice Minister Shannon Fentiman 19,300 complaints from Queensland consumers,” Ms Fentiman said. “And the highest number of consumer complaints continued to be for the personal

and household goods industry - with the OFT finalising more than 6200 complaints. “This category includes purchases of everyday items such as whitegoods, appliances, hardware, clothing and footwear – so it’s no surprise this continues to be at the top of the complaints’ list. “However, since the pandemic, complaints have soared for these types of purchases, with more than a 50 per cent increase since 2019. “There has also been an increase of more than 80 per cent in complaints for the personal and household services industry since the pandemic – this industry includes complaints about services such as whitegoods repairs, removalist services and cleaning companies.” Increases are to be expected after pent-up demand and supply chain issues during Covid-19, and this is an issue the OFT is closely monitoring. These issues encountered by consumers in these sectors are expected to return closer to trend as supply chain issues resolve.

In the meantime, consumers can protect themselves by doing their homework and asking questions. If consumers still encounter problems, they can lodge a complaint with the OFT. In 2022 the OFT assisted thousands of Queenslanders to get refunds, including obtaining a full refund of $38,000 for a consumer who was sold a dodgy camper trailer and assisting a consumer to get their new vinyl flooring replaced after the freshly laid flooring started to lift and became uneven. “The redress received for Queenslanders was seen across many industries including a $3,400 refund for cancelled airline flights,” the Attorney-General said. “In another example, the OFT assisted a Queenslander in obtaining a full refund of $46,000 after purchasing a motor vehicle which was not what was advertised.” Consumers who believe they have been treated poorly and are unable to reach an outcome with a trader can lodge a complaint with the OFT at qld.gov.au/law/fair-trading or by calling 13 QGOV (13 74 68) Friday, 10 February, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 29

Dr calls time A Noosa doctor with the ‘biggest heart’ is being celebrated for his amazing career after serving the community for nearly 50 years. Dr Mark Newbold, who is retiring from the medical practice, has been a respected general practitioner for many years, before attending Eden Private Hospital as an experienced senior medical officer. He is known by those around him as a remarkable man dedicated to a life service of medicine and care to all that he treated. To celebrate the amazing career of Dr Mark and to wish him well in retirement, Eden Private Hospital invite all members of the Sunshine Coast community to attend the official retirement party at the Cooroy RSL on Sunday 12 February. Dr Mark has never been one to shy away from hard work. This is reflected by his years of training in medicine and general practice, professional development, and his work ethic; often attending the hospital both day and night. He has always been a strong advocate for his patients and provided holistic and compassionate care. In 1975, he graduated from the University of Queensland. Following the completion of his studies he spent five years within the hospital system in locations across Tasmania and Western Australia. From 1981, Dr Mark worked as a general practitioner in the Noosa area and from 2012, he has worked as a senior medical officer in rehabilitation and sub-acute medicine at Eden Private Hospital. He will be greatly missed by patients and colleagues alike. “We know this won’t be the last you’ll see of him, and you may even run into Dr Mark embracing his retirement out and about on the Sunshine Coast, and being a role model in Eden’s outpatient gym,” hospital staff said.

Dr Mark has never been one to shy away from hard work. “The smiles you have put on the faces of patients and staff at Eden is priceless. Thank you for making Eden Private Hospital a place of healing, encouragement and positivity.” Dr Mark will be remembered for his sense of humour and willingness to get involved in all staff activities - including the theme dress ups and costume choices. “He had the biggest heart for all patients and staff, always made himself available to mentor and educate others,” another staff member said. His presence truly brightened the day of many patients and family members. His nature and bedside manner made the tough times a little bit easier. “I will miss the kindness and compassion he showed me during a vulnerable time in my life when I was unwell and recovering from surgery,” a patient said. Don’t miss the celebration for Dr Mark at the Cooroy RSL on Sunday 12 February. The celebrations will begin at 3pm with food and drinks available for purchase.

Salem witch hunt begins Little Seed Theatre Company invites you to accompany them at the Eumundi School or Arts this February as a witch hunt begins in Salem. The setting is 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. The Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. The story tells how small lies – children’s lies – build and build until the suspicions of a whole town are aroused. Set in a small tight-knit community, personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Arthur Miller’s timeless parable attacks the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations. Little Seed has a reputation for staging quality theatrical productions. Well known for both their annual Shakespeare at the Lake event and the musicals they stage at the J, Little Seed has developed a following for their rich, diverse, and exciting work. Among the cast of the Crucible are Ava Banks, who captivated audiences last May as Jacques in Shakespeare’s As You Like It in the role of Abigail Williams, the young woman whose accusation against many in her Salem community of witchery sets of a chilling chain of events. Jack Miller plays John Proctor an honest, upright, and blunt-spoken farmer with a fatal flaw. Proctor’s lust for Abigail Williams leads to Abigail’s jealousy of his wife and sets the entire witch hysteria in motion. Jack is powerful in his role of Proctor and has immersed himself fully in his final role for Little Seed.

“Me and Joey on the Land”.

Vertical and Horizontal Little Seed Theatre Company brings the story of the Salem witch hunts to life onstage. This February, audiences can expect striking costumes from local costume designer Leona Seib, atmospheric lighting from Travis Macfarlane and intense performances as Little Seed Theatre Company brings the story of the Salem witch hunts to life onstage. Playing a strictly limited season on February 17 and 18. Tickets are available now at little-seed.com. au

Well-known local artist Jo Gabe is having an exhibition at Cooroy Bendigo Bank from 24 February. Titled Vertical and Horizontal, these works are designed to both excite and calm the viewer. “Vertical creates significance, attention, strength, life energy and potency,” Jo said. “In general, it gives positive connotations whereas horizontal indicates a sense of stability, restfulness and calmness. “I wanted to create a peacefulness within the viewer and a feeling of wellbeing, then from the vertical paintings a mood of spirituality and grandeur, with visual elements of bright colours pleasing to the eye and inducing a sense of happiness.“ Inspired by Kandinsky, Jo mainly paints

I enjoy portraiture and challenging subjects. “Using gold, bronze and silver leaf is a favourite of mine. I love the effect and the way the light plays on the painting giving a magnetic feel to it. “I have recently been chosen to paint the scenery for Noosa Arts Theatre which is a great challenge and has helped me to be looser in my artwork, more fun-like.” Jo has exhibited her art in Sydney, Melbourne, Queensland and the UK, with sales in London, France, Russia, Singapore and Australia.

Ocean Film Festival World Tour is excited to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

LIVE

Seventeen years later, the ship is home to over 200 species of fish.

Coast filmmaker features By Abbey Cannan The much loved Ocean Film Festival World Tour returns to Noosa this March and will feature a locally shot film set beneath Sunshine Coast waters. After 34 years serving in the Australian Navy, the ex-HMAS Brisbane was scuttled off the coast in 2005. Seventeen years later, it is home to over 200 species of fish. Hypnotise is a short film capturing the relationship between the ship and the marine life that embodies it. Sunshine Coast based filmmaker, Ste Everington brings to life the remarkable underwater world local to South East Queensland and aims to inspire others to get out there, and capture more stories from our oceans. “The Ocean Film Festival is what inspired me in the first place to create a film celebrating our local oceans and marine life,” Ste said. “I chose to call the movie Hypnotise because that’s the feeling I got when the baitfish surrounded me on the wreck. I’ll never forget my first dive on the wreck, when the baitfish surrounded me, I felt completely hypnotised.” Ocean Film Festival World Tour is excited to celebrate its 10th anniversary this February and Hypnotise is just one of seven extraordinary films that honours everything the festival embodies. Jemima Robinson, founder and chief executive officer of the festival remarks, “Ste perfectly captures the beauty and mysticism of the ocean and to see the amount of fish currently inhabiting the ex- HMAS just off the Sunny Coast is truly a hypnotic experience and one that we know will capture the hearts of all viewers.”

Sunshine Coast based filmmaker Ste Everington. Ste, who moved to Australia from the UK in 2016, said although his career has nothing to do with filmmaking, he’s always loved being behind a camera. “I always found the Ocean Film Festival so amazing, and I thought it would be so cool to create something that would make it into the festival,” he said. “I was blown away when they emailed and said they wanted to include it. It’s always been a hobby and a passion of mine.”

Ste said he hadn’t spent too much time in the ocean prior to moving to Sydney. “Growing up in the UK, obviously it’s freezing in the water,” he said. “You go to the beach but you don’t really go in the water that much. I’ve alway been fascinated by David Attenborough documentaries like Planet Earth, so I think that’s where my interest started. “When I’m watching one of those documentaries in the UK, it’s such an alien world, and I

thought I’d never be able to do something like that because it’s so far from what I know. When living in Sydney, my wife and I were planning a holiday to Indonesia and thought we’d do our dive certification before we went so we would could do a couple of dives there to tick it off the bucket list. We thought it’d be a once in a lifetime thing, but we ended up getting completely hooked on it and started diving quite a lot around Sydney.” The film is part of a two-and-a-half hour showcase of equally inspiring and celebratory ocean films that focus on topics such as ocean adventure and exploration, the oceanic environment, marine creatures, ocean related sports, coastal cultures and ocean lovers. “I hope my film inspires people like it inspired me when I first went to the festival,” Ste said. “Whether people are inspired to do their own underwater project or it inspires them to get out and do and see these things. “I’m going to be attending the Brisbane and Noosa screening and I’ll be doing a quick Q and A.” The tour will in Noosa at The J on Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 March from 7pm to 10pm. With other local Australian films in the line up set amongst the Gold Coast, and another two in Victoria, this year’s films are bound to inspire Australian audiences. Audiences can view these amazing family friendly films at one of 11 screenings around Queensland starting from 28 February and 27 other locations across the country.

I feel like the song shifts your energy and whilst we were recording, I couldn’t help but sing and dance around the studio. “With this song I think the title really speaks for itself. Love You Through it All is a song about accepting that we all have things that we go through and the more we can love and accept others for their shortcomings, the more we can love and accept ourselves.“ Love You Through It All was produced and mixed by Paul Bromley and engineered by Steve Summers at Yama Nui Studios on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

As is normal custom on Sunday’s performance, they will have an adjudicator who, this year will be Rachel and Howie from Maverick Musicals and Plays. They will give an award to the Best Play and also an award to The Best of Anything, this could be for a particular performer or director perhaps. After the awards are announced they invite the audience to enjoy a slice of pizza and the bar will be open. Now who can knock back free pizza? The theatre’s Shorts program is on a little earlier this year due to a jam-packed schedule of great plays lined up for this year’s entertainment. The Shorts program has eight plays all up, each with a 10 minute running time, so it’s a fab feast of bite-sized plays. It’s a wonderful opportunity for emerging artists, writers, performers and directors to showcase their works. Here’s some of the play descriptions to whet your appetite: What does a 42 year old accountant living in England suddenly do when he realises life should be a tad more interesting? We retrace Biblical times to see what happens to young Moses when placed in the river. We hear the conversation mum has with his older sister explaining! A policeman is coming to terms with a domestic violence incident that he witnessed the

Britpop groovers Cool Britannia ready to rock Eumundi Britpop groovers Cool Britannia are set to take to the stage in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 25 February. Cool Britannia is a rockin’ five piece band, smashing out all the Britpop hits from Oasis, Blur, The Verve, Stereophonics, Pulp, Travis, Happy Mondays and much more. Late 2019, after watching a late night concert in Brisbane, a drunken conversation took place among some friends and fellow musicians. Strong opinions aired about the ‘90s Britpop scene vs American ‘90s Grunge scene, the great quality of that music and the last era of real rock n rollers. The idea was born... Cool Britannia! After a very brief shout out on a local musician’s social media page, the band was formed, and the energy from the very first rehearsal was electric. Cool Britannia is not a tribute band exactly... they’re not trying to look like or sound exactly like any one of these amazing ‘90s bands.

They’re a group of musicians who love to perform the songs from this specific era, the best they can... and they rock! Cool Britannia capture the fun and epitomise the optimism by bringing you a wide repertoire of Britpop classics. The band is built on mutual respect, friendship and love of the music. The term Cool Britannia was a name for the period of increased pride in the culture of the United Kingdom throughout the 1990s, inspired by Swinging London from 1960s’ pop culture. The success of Britpop and musical acts such as Blur, and Oasis led to a renewed feeling of optimism in the United Kingdom following the tumultuous years of the 1970s and 1980s. The name is a pun on the title of the British patriotic song Rule, Britannia!. This is an 18+ show. Doors open at 7.30pm. TICKETS: $30 (+ booking fee) through Oztix.

Come-n-Try is back again Noosa Council is hosting another of its popular Come-n-Try Sports events on Tuesday 28 February from 3-5.30pm at the softball fields, Noosa District Sports Complex, Butler St, Tewantin. Local sporting groups will be providing free fun activities for primary-aged kids in a range of winter sports. Community Facilities manager, Brad Chalmers, said the Come-n-Try afternoons are a fantastic way for Noosa kids to experience different sports and make connections with local sports clubs. “Led by local coaches, the kids get to try a range of different sport activities in a fun and non-competitive environment. As it’s straight after school, the kids are given a healthy snack before they begin, and then they play for about two hours,” he said. “With a decline in participation since Covid began, this is a terrific way for kids to engage with sport and possibly even sign up to play this winter.”

Karin Glenning, Margo Miranda, Julie Scott, Kerry Rutter with teacher John Gill.

Join the club The Noosa Bridge Club is a friendly, dynamic club with lots of events and regular sessions including a Saturday session for weekday workers. We have a large number of members in their eighties and many in their nineties who play regularly and enjoy their bridge. Once the basic skills have been mastered, we have a number of competitions available where players of the same ability compete in a comfortable environment. Noosa Bridge Club run a course of eight weekly lessons, twice a year. The cost is $80 and includes a copy of Paul Marston’s “Introduction to Bridge”. This beginner’s course covers the basic concepts and includes sessions of supervised play where your teacher will be available to help. For more information or to register phone 5447 1341 or email info@noosabridge.com or visit noosabridge.com

Noosa Bridge Club is holding its next course of bridge lessons beginning 20 March in their clubrooms at 3 Wallace Street Noosaville. Why do people play bridge? First and foremost, people play because they enjoy it. Playing bridge is a fun activity which you can enjoy with friends and family of any age, anywhere in the world. All you need is a pack of cards, a table, and some like-minded people. In fact the four person card game, bridge is one of the world’s most popular games, with afficionados including Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Omar Shariff, Somerset Maughan and Martina Navratilova. Many studies have been done revealing that the strategic card game isn’t only a fun way to pass the time, but has been shown to offer intellectual and social stimulation on a regular basis.

The annual sports afternoon is continuing tradition, bringing a range of local clubs and the Noosa community together. AFLQ Development coordinator, Jacob Amore, says that with AFL clubs in Noosa and in Pomona, the Come-n-Try Day gives children from around the Shire a chance to try AFL and see if they enjoy it. President of Noosa Softball, Richard Wakeham, added that many smaller sports like softball have been impacted dramatically by a decline in numbers in recent years, so the Come-n-Try afternoon is an ideal way to showcase their sport again to locals. Registration for the event is essential and can be done via the Eventbrite link on Council’s website at: noosa.qld.gov.au/comeandtrysports. Further enquiries can be directed to the Sports Liaison Officer, Margit Cruice at margit.cruice@noosa.qld.gov.au

SPORT NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Centuries and victories By Randall Woodley The weekend turned out to be a successful one for the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club. First, third and sixth grades all came home with wins, the women’s team sealed the Tier 2 premiership with another victory and two batsmen, Ben Claypole (firsts) and Anthony Blackwell (fifths) notched up centuries. Earlier in the day, youngster Bailey Hozier played a BBL-like innings in the under 15s hitting 71 runs off 38 balls. FIRST GRADE: Last Saturday the team completed day two of their two-day match against Nambour who started the day at 1-30 and chasing Thunder’s 318. Scott Aufderheide got the team off to the perfect start removing the competition leading run scorer and with Ben Laughlin taking another in the next over, Nambour were 3-40. It took another 22 overs to take the next wicket but after the lunch break, Scott (3-13) and Ben (3-14) tore into their batting line-up and by early afternoon they were all out for 103. All the bowlers were on-song with Josh Christensen taking 3 for 17 off his 4 overs. The fielding was top notch with Josh taking two screamers and Andrew Kratzmann another. After spending 96 overs in the field in both of the last two games and the pitch not offering a lot of life, Thunder did not enforce the follow on. There were 43 overs to be bowled and only one word can describe what happened nextcarnage. The Thunder batsman hit balls to all parts of the field to register a score of 7 for 300 by stumps. The score included 33 fours and 8 sixes. And it was the chance for Ben Claypole to show his batting prowess scoring his first century for the club (106 no). Others to get amongst the runs were Jarrod Officer 68, Cody Pyne 36, Jake Dennien 32 and Dom Taylor 24no. It was a pretty impressive batting performance by the Thunder, scoring 618 for the loss of 17 wickets. Next week they are at Read Park playing Glasshouse in a two-day match, the second last one of the season. SECOND GRADE: The team were at home against Caboolture who decided to declare at 4 -235 hoping for an outright win. However, the Thunder players decided this was not on and dug in for the day. At stumps they had lost eight wickets for 186 and were still confident, if time had permitted, they could have matched Caboolture’s score. There were many contributions with the best being Tyron De Kauwe 34*, Josh Christensen 31, Jake Caspers 24, Daniel Cooke 30 and Max Cooper 23. THIRD GRADE: The Thunder team started the day at 3-70, needing another 40 runs to claim a first innings win against top of the ladder the Maroochydore Swans. Nigel Webster and Will Cooke went out looking to knock over the runs and post a decent total for the Swans to chase in the afternoon. Nigel knocked off half the runs in less than a few overs hitting boundaries before wickets began to fall. Thunder eventually was dismissed for 157 posting a 47-run lead. Nigel Webster was again the standout with his 49. At stumps the Swans were 3 for 65 with Richard Boyd picking up two wickets. This was a very good team win for the boys who next week will be at home against Caloundra. FIFTH GRADE: The team started the day at 3-24 after Palmwoods had posted 356 on day one. The struggle against the fast and swinging Palmwoods bowlers continued and the score looked ominous at 6-41. Despite a solid partnership from Ben Blackwell and Tony Watson, the team were all out for 131 with veteran Watson unbeaten on 44. Palmwoods then enforced the follow on going for an outright win. After losing an early wicket, Finn Mayo came out to bat with Anthony Blackwell. Anthony was in fine touch from the outset and was especially lethal off the back foot. Finn likewise scored quickly and found some very productive shots. These two batted out the rest of the day with an unbeaten 142 run partnership. Finn made his first 50 in senior cricket and Anthony made his second 100 of the season. Some good cricket played by both sides but Thunder’s struggle to stop the flood of runs last week proved too much to overcome. SIXTH GRADE: Last weekend the team resumed at 0-5, chasing Caloundra’s 190. Ron Lewis (16) and Naveen Chand started the chase 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 February, 2023

The team were eventually out for 199 giving them first innings points. Others to score were Craig Moore 34, Brian Lee 22 and Lachlan Webster 20. Caloundra decided they would bat again with five overs remaining and quickly lost two wickets. The team played well both weeks and ended Caloundra’s unbeaten season. With two away games to go, hopefully the boys can secure two more wins and go into the finals with momentum. WOMENS GRADE: The women’s Thunder team won the toss and sent the Maroochydore team into bat in their last game of the season. Kirsty Patten took the first wicket early, bowled a wide next ball then knocked over the stumps putting her on a hat-trick for the next over, missed out but along with all the bowlers kept things tight. Rebel Bishop-Kinlyside knocked over the stumps for her first wicket of the season but alas it was a free hit, but she redeemed herself and bowled the same girl out with a legal delivery. Maroochydore finished up with 3-121. Solid batting by Melinda Baker (30 retired) Petrina McAulay (30 retired) and Patten 22 gave the lower order something to chase. Nikki Dunn and Sharon Withers needed 6 off the last over and with some great running and a four from Withers sealed not only the game, but the premiership for this new Thunder team. Under 15s: On day one of their two-day match against Coolum Sharks the Tewantin-Noosa team scored 8 for 285 off their allotted 50 overs. Top scorer was Bailey Hozier who scored a great knock of 71 off 38 balls. His innings included four sixes and eight fours. Others to score well were Aiden Mayor 33*, Farran Cooke 25*, Ben Blackwell 30 and Alec Dillewaard 32.

Bailey Hozier registered his top score of 71 off 38 balls last Saturday against Coolum Sharks.

As the first event of the 2023 season, the Stirling’s Crossing education weekend focus was on providing opportunities for riders to get back in the saddle to start preparation for Tom Quilty Gold Cup in June. Yet it was also about providing introductory and intermediate rides for those riders just finding their endurance seat. The weather at the weekend was warm but nomination numbers were great. As horse and rider teams were preparing to set out on the 10km and 20km rides on Saturday there was the ominous sound of thunder rumbling and the occasional flash of lightning. The various weather apps were compared and it was decided that schedule could continue as planned. The light shower that came on just as riders were mustering to ride out, broke the heat and provided a more comfortable riding environment. There were 27 competitors in the 20km ride with an 85 per cent completion rate achieved. Minimum ride times had been set a little bit longer than usual for that distance to allow for the anticipated heat and completion rates reflected that riders were riding to the conditions as well as taking care of their horses. What had been advertised as a 10km ride ended up being 14km to allow for a diversion due to works still going on in the Imbil State Forest to repair damage caused by floods last year. All nominees accepted the extended distance with good grace and 26 riders headed out – some on their first ever ride, while some were there to accompany and support new

fore the Games comes to Queensland. “Located at Kawana as part of the Sunshine Coast Sport Precinct, the new indoor sports centre will inspire the next generation of Sunshine Coast athletes, support growth, and play host to one of the most significant sporting events in the world. “All Brisbane 2032 venues are planned with lasting benefits in mind to meet the demands of our growing Queensland population. “It cements the Sunshine Coast’s importance during the Games and delivers legacy benefits for decades to come.” Brisbane 2032 OCOG President Andrew Liveris said that OCOG was supportive that Kawana had been confirmed as the location for the 2032 Games venue. “There has been significant input from subject matter experts confirming Kawana as the location for the Indoor Sports Centre, which aligns with the Brisbane 2032 candidature and Master Plan,” Mr Liveris said. “The information demonstrates that the Sunshine Coast Sports Precinct at Kawana will deliver great outcomes for both community sport and the Games. “Come July 2032, South-East Queensland will be on show to the world and the Sunshine Coast Sport Precinct at Kawana will be a perfect example of embracing the International Olympic Committee’s New Norm – an event and accompanying venues that are suited to the community’s long-term needs, affordable, beneficial and sustainable.” The decision to develop the indoor sports centre at Kawana follows a review of the site and another located in the Maroochydore City Centre. That proposal was for basketball to be hosted in the proposed (but not yet funded) Sunshine Coast Exhibition and Convention Centre, within the Maroochydore City Centre.

Taylor Grogan enjoys the 20km Saturday event at Stirlings Crossing at Imbil. 317789 riders to the sport. Again a great completion rate at 96 per cent. Sunday morning rides were a 40km, starting at 5.30am, and a 20km starting at 6am. Entries and completion rates were 45 and 88 per cent, and 18 and 77 per cent. There are no place-getters in introductory and intermediate rides but there are winners who have successfully guided their horse to a completion status, the aim of the sport being: To complete is to win.

The site of a world-class new indoor centre that will be enjoyed by the Sunshine Coast community before, during and long after the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, has been revealed. As planning steps up for the Games, Kawana has been chosen for an exciting sporting expansion that will boost a range of clubs and also benefit business, tourism and allied health providers. Sunshine Coast Council, in conjunction with Brisbane 2032 Games Delivery Partners, will deliver a new international indoor sports centre that will have capacity for 11 courts and the ability to convert to a 6000seat show court. It is expected to be up and running in 2027 and funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under their Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games funding agreement with the cost to be determined once the design process is completed. Deputy Premier Steven Miles and Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson on Wednesday 1 February jointly announced the new centre plus an expansion of the outdoor Sunshine Coast Stadium, aquatic centre and Sunshine Coast Sports Hub. Mayor Jamieson said the expanded sports hub would benefit the entire community and visitors to the region for many decades. “Confirmation of the new indoor stadium at Kawana now provides the opportunity to develop our very own world-class sporting precinct here on the Sunshine Coast. “Without a doubt, the Sunshine Coast will once again be the envy of other regional areas across the country. “In other exciting news, the long-awaited Sunshine Coast Stadium expansion should now start in 2024.“ The expansion will deliver an additional 10,768 fixed seats, taking total fixed seating capacity to 11,814. By utilising the mounds at the northern and southern ends, the stadium will have a total capacity of approximately 16,000. Additional temporary seating can be installed to boost the total seating capacity to 20,000 to accommodate the proposed 2032 Olympic Games football matches. Mayor Jamieson said the development of the indoor sports centre at Kawana would benefit a range of groups and sports, including basketball, netball, volleyball, pickleball, futsal and badminton. “Importantly, it will provide an opportunity to design and construct a facility that will be leading edge in respect to accessibility and service to the many para-sports and athletes we have in the region,’’ Mayor Jamieson said. “As part of the Future Host Questionnaire that was submitted to the International Olympic Committee Future Host Commission in May 2021, the Kawana Sports Precinct was presented as the preferred location to co-host the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games basketball competition. “The Kawana location has now been confirmed with the Brisbane 2032 OCOG and the Queensland Government and planning and design works will start immediately with a view of commencing construction of the new indoor sports centre in 2025. “This will result in the venue being available to our community in 2027, well before the proposed Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games basketball competition – which is exactly what our collective commitment to a 10+10+ legacy is all about.’’ Queensland Deputy Premier and Minister Assisting the Premier on Olympic and Paralympic Games Infrastructure, Steven Miles, said the sports precinct at Kawana was well positioned to provide lasting benefits for the region. “We knew bringing the Olympic and Paralympic Games to Queensland would deliver many benefits right across the state,” the Deputy Premier said. “The Sunshine Coast Indoor Sports Centre will be one of six new sporting venues this government is investing in, and all of these venues will be ready for use well be-

Lifting to state success In the words of head coach Woogie Marsh, the junior and U23 Queensland State Titles were, for our Noosa Barbell Weightlifting Club, “Super successful and a fantastic start to the season”. Our team members for the above titles were Kaiya Marsh F71-Jack Lafferty M89, Taj Marsh M89 and Angus Ward M109 +. Host club for the event was Cougars Weightlifting Club at the Sleiman Centre Brisbane. Kaiya Marsh and Jack Lafferty are in a midtraining block, preparing for their first representative trip to New Zealand with the Australian Pathway squad: their departure time is two weeks from now. They both showed great determination by putting up amazing performances at the state titles, after completing a tough week prior to the event. Kaiya won the bronze medal in the Junior division F71, snatching 60kg and following this with a clean and jerk of 74kg for a total of 134kg. Jack Lafferty M89 won silver snatching 90 kg and clean and jerk 118kg for a total of 209kg. Taj Marsh had a fantastic championship, winning gold in the very competitive M89 class, in both junior and U23. Taj snatched 132kg and clean and jerk 154kg totalling 286. This has now qualified Taj for Commonwealth championships in India Oceanic in Rarotonga, and the World Junior Championships in Mexico later this year. Taj also won both the best junior and U23 lifter of the titles. Definitely, a young man to watch. Angus Ward won gold in the M109+kg, snatching 119kg and clean and jerking 156kg, for a total of 275. Angus also broke the state records for the snatch and the clean and jerk total. At the completion of the events, coach Woogie Marsh could not be happier. “Thanks to all our awesome members for coming to Brisbane to support our junior team. You guys must be the best support crew in the weightlifting community. Also, a big thank you to Nick and Trish Radge from The Chartist, for your continuing support of our club.” Latest news is that the club is running their youth competition this weekend from 9.30am at Crossfit 4566, 1/15 Lionel Donovan Drive Noosa Drive Noosaville. For people interested in checking out the sport of weightlifting, we can be found at the above address, or send us a message on, instal @noosabarbellclub. The door is always open. Rugby league It is once again that time of the year when thousands of athletes around this great nation, both male and female, go in pleasant pursuit of the pill - in other words, play their various codes of football. For the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club, now under the leadership of president Liam Anlezark, they will launch their season at 6pm Friday 17 February. The occasion for the gathering of the faithful will be conducted in the Taproom, Heads of Noosa Brewery. Now having told you this, you are definitely invited into the Pirates Lair. Anlezark has extended a very warm welcome. “This will give you the opportunity to meet 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 February, 2023

Taya Clayton won gold in the U13 100m. and mingle with our committee, coaching team, senior players, sponsors and volunteers. Above all, meet the man in the hot seat, senior coach, Mick Duff.” Mick, who has come up through the ranks, joined the Pirates’ coaching panel in 2017 and now takes over as the senior coach. We wish him every success. First trial games will be at home, Pirates Park, on Saturday 11 March. The program will see U19, ladies’ reserves and the A grade. With women’s league on the up and up, it is interesting to note the appointment of Pirates’ new coach for the women’s team for 2023. His name is Robert Burgin. Burgin and his wife are just back from helping coordinate the Brazilian team at the Rugby League World Cup in England. It was the first time that a country from Latin America appeared at the sport’s showpiece event. “Numbers have been strong for the Pirates girls. We are preparing for a nines competition at Kawana on February 25 as our first hit out of the year.” Their big aim for the year is to drum up interest in the new U13 and 17 group. This would finally give them a pathway, all the way for the local girls. “We would love to see more Noosa district girls sticking with their clubs, from a young age through to the seniors.” An appointment such as this can only be of major benefit to the club. For those wishing to attend, please note that the RSVP Friday 13 February: rsvp@noosapirates.com.au or on 0414 182 442. Let’s remember a great launch usually opens the door for a great season, and Pirates are Noosa’s club.

Taj Marsh won gold in both junior and U23 classes. Little athetics It was a big weekend for our Noosa Little Athletics. They fielded a team of 50 for the regional championships held at the University of the Sunshine Coast: 15 clubs from around our region competed. The top four athletes in each event, would qualify for the state athletics championships to be held in Townsville from the 24-26 March. Head coach Mick Hooper remarked, “It was good to see our club represented from U7 through to U17. The U7 and U8 age groups, all competed for fun and receiving participating medallions, presented by our graduating athletes, competing at their final regional championships. “These were club captain Jaxon Retchless and fellow U17s, Lachlan Graham, Dianne Ladewig, Mailee Scott-Jones and Olive Payne.” Our team had a very successful competition with 33 of our athlets qualifying for the state championships. Amongst those were some very notable performances. For example: Jaxon Retchless, gold medals in U17 100, 200m sprints and high jump. Marlon Andrews U13, gold medals in the 100, 200 and 400 m sprints. Zachary Nielsen U9, gold in the 70,100 and 200m sprints, as well as a bronze in the long jump and high jump. Dianne Ladewig gold in the long jump, triple jump, 100m hurdles, and bronze in the 100 and 200m sprints. Add to this, there was a remarkable performance from U13s Taya Clayton who finished with a total of five gold medals:100 m sprint, 80 and 200m hurdles, long jump and triple jump. Carnival’s end, coach Hooper summed it up well when he said, “It was a very hot and humid weekend of athletics, but this will be a great preparation for the Townsville State Titles. A

big thank you must go out to our Noosa parent helpers, committee members, supporters and in particular, our Swiss visiting athlete, Livo Kurz (a visiting language student now competing), who gave up his weekend, to come and help run a smooth competition for our Little Athletics. It is of interest to note that on occasions when both weightlifting and Little Athletics travel away, coaches Woogie Marsh and Mick Hooper always move a big vote of thanks for their support groups. This is a good reflection on the parents and others of our community who take the time to show their appreciation to those who run our clubs. Well done coaches, well done. Karate Last weekend a local Shotokan karate club, Karate Noosa, played host to World Chief Instructor of World Shotokan Karate, Hitoshi Kasuya 9 Dan. During his stay he conducted training seminars in Noosa The seminars, which were conducted in the Noosaville State School Hall were performed to a packed house. Such was his reputation, that students of Shotokan Karate flew to Noosa from Melbourne and Sydney. For a lot of students who may never get the opportunity to visit Japan, a country considered by many to be the home of karate, it was indeed a lifetime experience. Chief instructor of Karate Noosa Bryan Dukas, 6th Dan said, “The visit of Hitoshi Kasuya has been an outstanding success. The fact that some students flew from interstate speaks for itself.” Next week, Noosa Today will take a closer look at this incredible man, his teachings and his influence on the sport in Australia.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Early days on Oahu. Curren, right, with speargun.

Reluctant legend passes While surfers around the world were glued to the best Eddie Akau Invitational ever, being streamed from massive Waimea Bay a couple of weeks back, one of the pioneer surfer/ shapers who put the Bay on the map was quietly breathing his last. The enigmatic, taciturn and legendary Pat Curren, big wave pioneer of the 1950s, shaper of the best balsa guns ever made but best known as father of three-times world champion Tom Curren, passed away aged 90. Encyclopedia of Surfing founder Matt Warshaw blogged: “From [Tom’s younger brother] Joe Curren’s Instagram: ‘We said goodbye to my dad on Sunday 22 January in North County, San Diego. His family, including all of his kids, and most of his grandkids were at his side when he passed. We are all going to miss him.’ Unverified, but from a source close to the family, Pat was reportedly watching the EddieWaimea livestream not long before he died.” I’d like to think so, but I doubt it. Despite (or perhaps because of) the pivotal role he had played in the development of big wave surfing, Pat had long distanced himself from the surfing mainstream, which for several decades included the surfing members of his own family. A complex and difficult man who played by his own rules and didn’t give a damn what people thought of him, Pat abandoned his wife and kids when Tom was a delinquent early teenager and spent most of the rest of his life eking out an existence in beach shacks and trailer parks in Costa Rica and Mexico. There was not a lot to admire in these aspects of Pat Curren, and yet the legend remained irresistible to many of us who tried to chronicle surfing’s dark sides as well as its triumphs. As Warshaw put it eloquently in his History of Surfing: “Curren was the slouching near-mute apotheosis of surf-cool: draining an afternoon beer, flicking a cigarette butt to the side, then taking down Malibu golden boy Tommy Zahn in a paddle race; flying to Hawaii one season with no luggage save a 10-pound sack of flour for making tortillas; sailing the 3000-mile Great Circle route from Honolulu to Los Angeles on a 64-foot cutter and posing for a photo en route, bearded and watch-capped, a huge Havana cigar jutting from a corner of his mouth, left hand on the wheel, right hand holding a shot glass of crème de menthe.” Warshaw continued: “Cooler than all these things put together, Curren would invariably pick off and ride the biggest, thickest, meanest wave of the day… The ride itself was stripped down and fluid, as Curren went into a deep crouch, spread his arms like wings, and led with chest and long chin. Tearing across a huge wave face, in circumstances where other riders dropped automatically into a survival stance, Curren looked like an Art Deco hood ornament.” I only met Pat twice, and the second barely qualifies, but the first occasion was historic in terms of the Curren family history. I was running the Masters World Championships for Quiksilver in Bundoran, Ireland in

Still a fine eye for a rail line.

2001 when Tom, as one of the invitees, showed up with his photographer brother Joe, 10 years his junior, and their legendary dad. Tom Curren by this time far outranked the old man in the legend stakes, but this trip wasn’t about that, nor was it about winning a world title. It was a father and sons bonding trip, the final stage in a slow journey of reconciliation that Joe had instigated. The Currens arrived early, well ahead of the pack, and rolled into one of Bundoran’s quaint pubs, where I was slaking my thirst with some work mates. Tom’s never been big on introductions, but I wormed my way into the group and ended up drinking whisky chasers with Pat into the customary “lock-in” which allows drinking after hours as long as you leave by the back door. I found Pat to be reasonable company on the few occasions I bumped him over the course of the contest, but the next time I saw him a few

years later it was a different story. While living in California, we’d taken to slipping down to Cabo for a few days to surf and laze around, and because I preferred the crowd-free breaks of the eastern cape, I’d rented a small beach house near the village of Zacatitos, a long dirt road drive from the tourist town of San Jose del Cabo. Early one morning, waiting for the tide to drop out a little before I surfed One Palm, I took a stroll through the dusty little village and saw Pat Curren, messing around with some fish nets outside a beaten-up trailer. Hey, we’d closed the bar together in Ireland, he’d remember me! I called his name and Pat looked up, registered my presence and ran. From Joe’s account it seems that in his final years Pat had stopped running and found some peace. I hope so. Apple watch disaster at Pipe The first WSL world championship event of the season, the Pipe Pro is on hold as I write,

waiting on a new swell, so I have little to report other than Steph Gilmore’s early exit, saying farewell to the yellow jersey for who knows how long. But far more interesting than the surfing so far is the Apple watch fiasco. As Swellnet’s Steve Shearer reported on the live coverage: “The new deal with Apple watches was rammed relentlessly down our throats today - even at the expense of covering the action. It made Leo Fioravanti’s broadside in his presser [conference] feel like the highlight of the day. ‘Our frickin’ watches weren’t working - and that’s pretty heavy,’ stated the het-up Italian, finishing with a devastating assessment: ‘We’re fighting for our careers.’ I feel Leo’s pain here because I too have a stupid watch that doesn’t deliver the vital info I need as a mature age athlete, and instead keeps telling me I haven’t completed my ring, whatever that means.

Offering three bedrooms, three bathrooms and two-car parking, has gone to a young family from the Gold Coast hinterland. Last listed at $1.295m, the property was among a short-list they had composed and this suited. “They are avid visitors to Double Island and enjoy the national park,’’ Lauren said. “The 800sq m block allows room for a pool or a shed.’’ TOUCH OF PARADISE Guests love this place ... it’s like a home away from home and in such a handy location. The Noosa River foreshore is just steps away, and the boutique complex of 12 apartments is positioned between Hastings St and Gympie Terrace.

A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, one-car apartment at 1/219 Weyba Rd, Noosaville, goes to auction 1pm Saturday, 25 February. 318101 It’s a fully-renovated penthouse apartment in Noosa Riviera and Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking it to auction at 10am Saturday, March 4. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 12/144 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, is north facing with a rooftop terrace offering 360-degree views. Noosa Riviera is somewhat of an island in itself - just short side streets leading to the waterways and jetty, lush parks, palm trees, and the resort’s lagoon-style pool that is heated in winter. The apartment features high-ceilings, multiple open-plan living and dining spaces inside and out, timber flooring, and natural light from the expansive terrace, which wraps around two sides. One lounge and dining space reflects the Mediterranean with colourful sumptuous sofas, artworks, big cane chairs around a glass-topped table and access to the west terrace. On the north side, glass sliders open and the indoors almost seamlessly combines with outdoors, and the wide undercover stone-paved terrace. The kitchen with servery opens to the terrace. There’s smoky-grey, stone-topped, VJ-profile, Hamptons-inspired cabinetry including a semi-island/breakfast bar, white subway-tiled splashback, a floor-to-ceiling wall with integrated appliances and pull-out pantry. The rooftop terrace features a pavilion with an integrated outdoor kitchen. The main bedroom suite comes with TV, walk-in robe, ensuite with double creamywhite stone-topped cabinetry and drencher shower, plus access to the terrace. The queen/twin bedrooms have built-

in robes, share a bathroom and separate toilet, and one has a terrace on the south side. IDEAL HOUSE ALTERNATIVE Greg Smith and Tanya Taylor at Select Noosa have two more auctions later this month - a free-standing renovated townhouse at Noosaville and a vacant block of land at Peregian. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, twocar townhouse with pool at 3/12 Elizabeth St, Noosaville, goes to auction at 12pm on Saturday, 25 February. “It’s very comfortable,’’ Greg said, “… a house alternative in a handy location with a northerly aspect. “You are one street back from Gympie Tce and the Noosa River.’’ The home is ideal for the couple wanting an easy-living lifestyle - whether it’s a lockand-leave, downsizing, holiday home or investment. It offers indoor/outdoor living, its own private pool, security gate, balconies off every bedroom, and ducted air-conditioning. The three spacious bedrooms each have their own balcony, there is a study nook, two bathrooms, and powder room downstairs. The double garage comes with loads of storage, while the complex has security gate access. The vacant 416sq m block at 14 Breakwater St, Peregian Beach, goes to the market at 10am on the same day. OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION The renovation is outstanding, the complex of 12 apartments is solid and is in a central location.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car townhouse with pool at 3/12 Elizabeth St, Noosaville, goes to auction at 12pm on Saturday, 25 February. 318101 goes to auction 1pm Saturday, 25 February, with Anita Nichols of Laguna Real Estate. “It’s been renovated to an incredible standard,’’ Anita said. “It has been configured as four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with downstairs being able to be rented out. “No expense has been spared. There are high-end quality appliances, AEG ovens and dishwasher, gas cooktop, brushed gold fittings including all tapware. “This was the on-site managers property. All other apartments are are one and two-bed.’’ Interest has been more investmentbased because of the location and potential, Anita said. Both interstate and local. Having two levels both with separate entry make it perfect for investment and holiday let. FIRST TIME ON MARKET IN 70 YEARS One stringybark log from the CooroyEumundi area built the whole house. The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 1024sq m at 7 Low St, Eumundi, has been in the same family for more than 70 years. Wayne Fewtrell of @realty said the father served in World War 2 and the family built the home for him when he returned. Listed at offers over $810,000, it features hardwood frames and beautiful red-coloured timber floors - much like blue gum. “The location is good,’’ Wayne said, “just a short walk to the aquatic centre, railway station, shops and the markets. “There have been people at every open home - those wanting to move to Queensland and some investors from the

Sunshine Coast.’’ The allotment gently slopes up from the quiet no-through street. Downstairs is a large, air-conditioned bedroom with separate entrance and internal staircase to the main home. An electric stairlift is fitted for those with a disability, as well as a special shower and heated bidet. A long, lock-up single garage has room for storage. Upstairs are two more large, airconditioned bedrooms - both with built-ins - and a spacious sleepout or rumpus room, again with polished red stringybark floors. The kitchen/dining area is combined. There is an air-conditioned lounge area and high ceilings throughout. The house is set on concrete stumps and 5kw solar power is grid connected. Outside is the laundry with extra shower, a 6m by 3m timber shed with electricity and timber floor. A bush house wraps around two sides of the shed while the grounds have mature fruit trees including bananas, mango, lime, mandarin, orange and dwarf mulberry.

ON THE COVER

SWAYING PALMS, SUNDRENCHED PENTHOUSE TANTALISE the taste buds and imagine the exuberant enjoyment of life, in other words, the joie de vivre, is a sun-splashed penthouse apartment at Riviera mere steps away from the Noosa River foreshore, where enjoying balmy nights drinking in 360° panoramas on the massive rooftop terrace, are de rigueur. Yes, this is love at first sight. Designed for desire in a holiday playground, the boutique complex of 12 apartments, has the highly valued address of Noosa Parade. It is equidistant Noosa Main Beach and Gympie Terrace which runs parallel with the Noosa River. There are no neighbours per se, just short side streets leading to the waterways and jetty, lush parks with of course multitudes of palms swaying in the breeze. Come inside. From the entry foyer, take a moment to absorb the generous high-ceilinged, multiple open plan living and dining spaces inside and out, and seemingly endless timber flooring is drenched with natural light emanating from the expansive terrace, which wraps two entire sides of the apartment. There’s an oh-so-cool ambience throughout. One lounge and dining space has whispers of the Mediterranean with colourful sumptuous sofas, artworks, big comfy cane chairs around a glass-topped table and access to the west terrace. A monochromatic palette features in the living and dining spaces on the north side. Notice how the glass sliders open, and indoors almost seamlessly combines with outdoors and the very wide undercover stone-paved terrace, where lunching alfresco and relaxing are second nature. The kitchen with servery opening to terrace has been cleverly designed for the consummate entertainer. There’s smoky-grey stone-topped VJ-profile Hamptons-inspired cabinetry including a semi-island/breakfast bar, white subwaytiled splashback, a floor-to-ceiling wall with integrated appliances and pull-out pantry, plus every accoutrement to suit the occasion. Mentioning entertaining, let’s go upstairs to the rooftop where it can be next level with the 360° panorama, or just super casual lounging on the sun terrace

under the umbrella, sundowners at the tall table, or barbeques under the pavilion with its integrated outdoor kitchen. Check out Munna Park with swings and slides, and a little further to the Noosa River foreshore and Munna Beach, where there’s also a boat ramp, riverside barbeque facilities and a few notable locals aka pelicans. When it comes to after dark, sweet dreams are guaranteed. Along a hallway is the king master with TV, walk-in robe, ensuite with double creamy-white stonetopped cabinetry and drencher shower, plus access to the terrace. The queen/ twin bedrooms have built-in robes, share a bathroom and separate toilet, and one has a terrace on the south side. “Be quick for this one-of-a-kind wise investment opportunity with everything Noosa Heads including nature on the doorstep,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nick Hunter, who has slated the property for auction on Saturday 4 March 2023. “With the Noosa River only steps away and Hastings Street a short bike ride, this is also a chance to totally immerse yourself in a carefree, unretiring lifestyle and year-round holiday spirit. “Leave the car in its secure undercover space, stroll to myriad cafes, restaurants and bars in nearby Quamby Place, and along the Noosa River waterfront of Gympie Terrace, also Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park with its world recognised Surfing Reserve.” Facts & Features: Apartment Area: 317m2 Terraces: easy steps to rooftop w 360° panorama, faux grass, integrated BBQ & sink + outdoor dining setting in undercover pavilion w shutters 2 sides, high table & stools, umbrella, sun lounges & chairs on terrace; undercover terrace w stone pavers & drainage, living & dining areas, wraps entire nth & west sides off multiple living areas, kitchen & master bedroom; views over Munna Park & Noosa River About: recent renovation; timber floors throughout; VJ-profile walls, doors & features; hideaway laundry w Samsung washer + Fisher & Paykel dryer; multiple living w lounge w fabric-covered sofas & smart TV + dining w glass-topped table, cane chairs & big pops of colour incl

Look around, there’s a sense of grandeur, fashioned with clever design responses including curved walls, louvres and lofty ceilings and windows attracting bright northerly light streaming into the living room with its custom granite-topped bar. Note how the space connects to a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard adorned with hedges, feature mirrors and a greenery-clad arch. Further ahead is also about scale and functionality with a massive dining space. It coalesces in a transparent fashion to an expansive undercover terrace, another option for entertaining, before stretching beyond and morphing into a sun deck with private pool. There’s a pathway from the residence leading to the golf course perimeter and the 15th hole, which is the longest on the Noosa Springs’ golf course. Double eagle anyone? The central hub of the ground floor is undoubtedly the hexagonal-shaped kitchen with beautiful terracotta red granite and 2-pac cream cabinetry (same as the bar), a walk-in pantry, plenty of storage and every high-end appliance a promising culinary superstar would expect. Take the lift or the carpeted stairs to the upper-level dream zone where the master suite has two balconies, one with serious views over the golf course plus a walk-in robe and a spa bath in the ensuite, where you can soak away the blues whilst drinking in the views. Along the mezzanine hallway, the second master-style suite also has a walk-in robe, ensuite and balcony. Downstairs near the front garden, there’s an unexpected bonus of a separate guest room/studio with built-in robe and an ensuite, while the office space could be a fourth bedroom if so desired. There is a bathroom nearby. “This private golf course frontage is a stunning oasis that totally connects to its spectacular location,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Julie Bengtsson who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 4 March 2023. “This residence is about finding, as the lyrics say “the green, green grass of home” - a perfect example of a substantial property in an exclusive gated estate with prestige homes dotted amongst manicured gardens, pathways and resident’s only

resort-style pools.” “It’s easy proximity to the Noosa Springs Golf & Spa clubhouse complex and the Graham Papworth-designed 5-star championship course has pockets of rainforest, is surrounded by Lake Weyba, the spring-fed lakes of Noosa Springs and the Noosa National Park with its abundance of flora and fauna including koalas and kangaroos.” Facts & Features: Apartment Area: 334m2 Land Area: 506m2 Pool: 4m x 4.8m About: Stiltz home lift; lofty ceilings, glass bricks & shutters; ducted air/fans;

The palette of grey, verdant and neutral tones, including floor tiles, carpet, contemporary furnishings, and art works naturally mimic the surrounds, and thanks to disappearing sliders, indoors seamlessly extends to the terrace. It really is the perfect spot for breakfast, or how about a night cap after dinner accompanied by the haunting sounds of birds and local fauna, before retiring to the master bedroom which has an ensuite with double shower. The galley-style kitchen has every

accoutrement and appliance necessary even if friends drop by for sundowners. The laundry too is fully equipped. There is also much to do around the 5-star resort, which is within cooee of Hastings Street or just a buggy ride away. Set unobtrusively into the hillside, the internationally acclaimed Peppers Noosa Resort was designed by the renowned architect John Mainwaring. Adding to its overall appeal, the apartment is a short walk to the heated 25-metre lap pool and sun terrace, which is fringed on one side by the Noosa National Park. As well, there’s the immensely popular View restaurant the lagoon pool is heated, and massages are a must at the multi award-winning Stephanie’s Day Spa.

“Yes paradise, where the climate is idyllic year-round and the natural assets are innumerable, awaits a sage investor,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller, adding “and as I have experienced first-hand, apartments in Peppers Noosa Resort are coveted and that’s understandable. Holiday bookings are year-round and mostly back-to-back. One-bedroom apartments are highly prized because they provide the perfect opportunity for the first-time buyer as well as the seasoned investor who understands the buoyancy of the Noosa market. “Location too is paramount. Hastings Street, only 300m away, is simply brimming with designer fashion boutiques and street side alfresco cafes, plus there is the Noosa Heads Surf Club and the sheltered north-facing Main Beach. Along the coastal boardwalk is the pristine 477-hectare Noosa National Park, a big boon to joggers, walkers, nature lovers and of course surfers, who are attracted to the worldfamous Surfing Reserve. Just up from the resort’s main entrance is Laguna Lookout with its stunning sunsets and breathtaking views across the ocean to the Glasshouse Mountains.”

Ample vehicle accommodation is provided with a double lock-up garage and a double carport, and there is ample
