Linedancing success

Noosa’s very own Sunny Coasters Linedancing group was filled with joy on Friday.

Picture: ALISON TAYLOR - LENSART

The sky was blue and the pier was pink as Noosa’s very own Sunny Coasters Linedancing group danced their way into the club’s most significant undertaking to date, a fundraiser for ‘Do it for Cancer’ (breast cancer).

What a spectacular sight it was to see at the Noosa Marina on Friday 13 October, as the dancers moved to the groove in support of this important event.

Adding to the uplifting mood of the day were the people walking on the bridge who stopped to watch, the crowds at the marina and the people on passing boats clapping and cheering.

“However,” as said by Sue Ravenscroft, “the best part of the day was the financial outcome of the fundraiser.“ Continued page 8

Deadlock to end

By Phil Jarratt Well after midnight on a beautiful, starlit and deserted crescent of beach on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, just 40 minutes up the coast from Zihuatanejo, made famous as the place Andy Dufresne found peace in the final scenes of the brilliant 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, a man walks alone into the moon shadow of a thatch-roof palapa on the sand, opens a laptop and tries to connect to Microsoft Teams, calling softly into the night: “Can you

hear me, it’s Tom?” After more than six years of consultation, planning, drafting, consulting again and again, redrafting and finally being presented to Noosa Council, only to be deferred for – wait for it – more consulting, it is supremely ironic that the future of the long-awaited Noosa River Catchment Management Plan might well come down next week to the quality of an internet connection in faraway La Saladita. “I hope they keep their generators running all night,”

jokes Cr Brian Stockwell, but the serious fact of the matter is that Cr Tom Wegener’s remote vote, to be called in from a long-planned family surfing holiday, will almost certainly break the deadlock and see the river plan adopted by council, ending a month of community agitation, claims and counter-claims, petitions and some absurd misinformation peddled on social media.

The fun began at council’s general committee meeting on 18 September when Cr Amelia

Lorentson moved a procedural motion “that item 6.1 Noosa River Catchment Management Plan be deferred to the next round of meetings to allow Councillors and other stakeholders an opportunity to consider the details and implications of the draft Noosa River Catchment Plan and provide feedback.” Speaking to her motion, Cr Lorentson said the deferral was needed “to enable time for feedback from stakeholders, questions to be answered and for a workshop for councillors.

Carers paint a similar picture in other countries. According to various studies there are 6 million informal carers in the UK who save their economy about £119 billion per year (Buckner & Yeandle value for caregivers of about $196 billion a year (Arno et al. 1999).

It’s not surprising then that the importance of carers and the need to better support them is crucial.

A carer is someone who, unpaid, provides help and support to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour, who could not manage without their help due to age, physical or mental health problems, addiction or disability. (Keeley & Clarke 2003) This year’s national Carer Wellbeing Survey found carers who had good access to support had healthy levels of wellbeing compared to those who had no or limited access to help.

Fisheries need feedback

The Voice referendum received a resounding No vote in Wide Bay.

Picture: SHANE ZAHNER

No to vote but campaign ongoing The people have spoken loudly in Wide Bay with more than 75 per cent of voters saying No to the Voice referendum, but it has not halted a growing Noosa group in their campaign for recognition and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

In Noosa 63.12 per cent of people voted no in the referendum, which was above the national result of 60.69 per cent for a no-vote.

The Australian Electoral Commission opened 16 polling booths across the Noosa Shire for voting on the referendum to alter the Constitution to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia, and establish a body to be called the Australian and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

Of those booths, only two, at Peregian Beach Kindergarten and Sunshine Beach State School, recorded a majority Yes vote.

Across the whole Wide Bay electorate, which had 64 booths, there was only one other booth recording a Yes-vote majority and that was at Cherbourg Aboriginal community town.

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien expressed his gratitude and respect to everyone who exercised their democratic right and voted either yes or no in the referendum.

“75.36 per cent of people voted no in Wide Bay, demonstrating that Australians overwhelmingly rejected racial division, rejected Prime Minister Albanese’s Voice proposal, and didn’t trust the Albanese Labor Government to change our Australian Constitution without

providing any detail,“ he said.

“The referendum was an expensive exercise, estimated to have cost the taxpayer $450 million. At a time when all Australians are feeling the effects of a Labor Government cost of living crisis, these funds should have been directed toward policies to help all Australians doing it tough.

“I pay tribute to my Parliamentary colleagues, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Senator Kerrynne Liddle, who respectfully and truthfully articulated the insurmountable flaws with the Albanese Labor Government’s Voice proposal. I also thank the volunteers who gave of their time to work on polling booths.

“It’s now time for the Government to take real action to address disadvantage and to audit ATSI program expenditure to ensure funds are helping communities and people in need.“ Noosa for Yes campaign leader Dr Geoff Evans said their campaign continues.

“Three months ago I put my hand up to coordinate a local group of Noosa people to campaign for Yes. We had no idea what to expect. But from the moment I made those initial calls, where so many busy people agreed to step up and assist, it became clear that we were tapping into something strong in the community,“ he said.

“Since then we have had a constant flow of volunteers. We have grown into one of Queensland’s biggest and most active Yes support groups.

“It’s been humbling and inspiring to see. We have built a strong and passionate community network for recognition, reconciliation and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that will keep going.

“While we did not get the result we hoped, still we now know that there is a strong wellspring of people in this community who will work for justice and a fair go for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have sustained a culture in this continent for more than 60,000 years.

“This will continue to grow regardless of the referendum outcome.

“To the Traditional Owners on whose land we live, the Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi people, I express my sorrow on behalf of all at Noosa for Yes. I am sorry that not enough of us could hear the gracious call for recognition and a Voice.

“First Nations people are saying this is not the end. The work of supporting reconciliation and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples does not end with this referendum. People of goodwill, including those in Noosa Shire, will regroup and we will continue to stand with you.

“I want to thank all the individuals, businesses and community organisation who have supported us. I hope that together we can continue to walk with First Nations peoples.“

The Australian Government is conducting five year reviews of two major Commonwealth fisheries policies, and Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien is encouraging industry stakeholders and interested parties to provide their feedback on these policies before 3 November 2023.

“This is an opportunity for the local industry to have their say and influence policies on Harvest Strategy and Bycatch, and whether they are still effective, or need to be updated or amended,” Mr O’Brien said.

The Harvest Strategy Policy sets out principles for creating sustainable and productive harvest strategies for fisheries managed by the Australian Government, and the Bycatch Policy is intended to minimise the incidental catch of species that can’t be sold, like birds, mammals, and reptiles.

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has prepared a discussion paper and survey that asks specific questions about the performance of the policies, and the feedback received will be used to prepare a draft report for each policy.

The discussion paper and survey can be found at https://haveyoursay.agriculture.gov.au/fisheries-policy-reviews.

“Fishing is a key driver of the Wide Bay economy and professional fishers in the region will have their own opinions on the effectiveness of these policies, and the impacts they have on the productivity and sustainability of the industry, and I encourage them to have their say,” Mr O’Brien said.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

“Half-hearted”, says NPA Noosa Parks Association has issued a damning indictment of Noosa Council’s Destination Management Plan discussion paper, claiming it reveals a “half-hearted focus” to the issue of tourism and its impacts on the community.

The NPA submission, published on its website on 8 October, slams the plan’s Project Control Group over its “secretive efforts” which included seeking non-disclosure agreements from members of an external reference group, saying: “The clear implication is that council believes there are destination management issues that residents should not be privy to.”

The submission uses the low figure of 14 per cent business involvement in tourism, supplied by the Bureau of Statistics, as an argument that “tourism should not be allowed to overshadow or impact on the 86 per cent of business activity that is not tourism focused.

While some residents may benefit directly or indirectly from tourism, most do not. Furthermore, there are clear and evident impacts on resident amenity arising from the concerted effort to turn Noosa Shire into Australia’s most popular tourist destination.”

The submission then outlines a set of guiding principles “that NPA believes to be essential to managing tourism and, importantly, its impact on Noosa residents”.

Resident amenity should be better prioritised Noosa needs to get the balance right between resident amenity and the many ways in which tourism impacts on residents. This includes not only access to public spaces, but also traffic congestion, road closures, public transport, council spending and the liveability of residential areas. At present, there is growing frustration amongst residents directed towards the tourism sector. This has the potential to evolve into outright hostility which will, in turn, impact on the visitor experience.

Prioritise value-over-volume Tourism Noosa’s pre-Covid approach aspired to be one of value-over-volume. That meant no marketing to drive-in or day trippers, with the entire focus on visitors from places such as Sydney, Melbourne and overseas … It has been well documented in many international studies that single day tourists provide minimal economic benefit yet massively increase over-tourism. The result of unmanaged day visitation is to diminish the quality of the experience that longer-term and high-spend visitors are seeking. Plainly large numbers of day visitors also have a weighty impact on resident amenity. Though some tourism businesses fail to get the message, research clearly shows that overcrowding can have a detrimental impact on overall tourism revenue.

Cease resident funding of Tourism Noosa Tourism Noosa has become a bloated bureaucracy that is no longer fit for purpose.

Noosa does not require the same level of marketing that occurred 10 or 20 years ago. Under previous councils, Tourism Noosa was funded through a levy imposed on businesses, scaled according to type and location of the business.

Under the current council, this approach has been discarded in favour of funding from gen-

eral revenue (ie rates). Residents are expected to accept an impost of $2.52 million …

Cap or even reduce the number of events Large-scale events were once used to fill the low tourism periods between school holidays. But those low periods have ceased to be a problem for the tourism sector. Put bluntly, Noosa has become so popular as a destination that events are no longer required as a fillip. We do not need more events, and certainly not those that require road closures, or which commandeer public spaces. Events which require road closures should be phased out.

Control day visitor numbers and vehicles NPA recognises that single day visitors cannot be completely prevented from accessing Noosa. However, there are strategies available to minimise their impact and their numbers. As well as ceasing to target drivein visitors through marketing, Noosa needs to be working towards an effective park-andride approach to keep visitor vehicles out of

the coastal centres.

Place constraints on Airbnb and short-stay accommodation The impact of the disruptive short-stay accommodation (STA) sector has been significant for Noosa, as is the case in tourism hotspots across the planet. Lack of long-term rental accommodation, accessibility of affordable housing, worker shortages, decreasing resident amenity and diminishing social cohesion are some of the problems associated with STA. Noosa should be standing shoulder-toshoulder with places like Byron Bay, Mornington Peninsular, Hobart and Busselton in seeking real solutions to this issue.

Minimise environmental impact Thanks to six decades of community action … some 45 per cent of the Noosa Shire is today in some form of protected estate, either as national park or other environmental covenant.

Council’s stated aim is to reach 50 per cent.

These areas should be accessible to visitors and residents, whilst being adequately man-

aged for their environmental values. Increased foot traffic through Noosa National Park headland section, and vehicle traffic in the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park, especially camping and vehicles on Teewah Beach, all need to be better managed. This can only occur by council working co-operatively with the state government.

The Parks Association submission concluded: “The tourism sector and Noosa Council must acknowledge that Noosa is already facing a problem with over-tourism. The emphasis going forward must be on balancing resident amenity with tourism numbers and types of visitor.

NPA believes that resident amenity should, as a general rule, take priority over visitor experience. However, the two can work in tandem … The purpose of destination management must be to establish a sustainable tourism industry that has minimal impact on resident amenity, and which is managed appropriately.”

Surviving the tsunami In the concluding part of our interview with architects of Noosa Council’s Destination Management Plan, PHIL JARRATT asks Andrew Saunders and Caroline Osborne about the four scenarios offered for future tourism.

NT: I think the scenarios are interesting, but to affect real change you have to change the mindset of the long time locals who think that nothing in their lives needs to change.

Caroline: I think that’s part of the conversation, talking through the challenges in protecting what we have, and the choices that are available to us. Choosing the right pathway to get where we want to go is a key part.

NT: I made a note when I was researching this: Is this about saving Noosa “from” tourism or “for” tourism?

Andrew: Another way of putting that is: Are we a community that lives in a tourism destination or a tourism destination that has a community? We’re thinking that the community comes first. And in taking that position, one of the things to consider is that the Noosa brand is very strong, so nothing the DMP might propose, none of it radical, would endanger tourism. Importantly, we’re not coming from the perspective that the relationship between tourism and the community is bad. In fact that relationship is much stronger than many other places, we just have to plan for the future.

NT: Have you looked at comparative situations around the world?

Andrew: Yes. If you scroll down on the Your Say page [Noosa Council website] you’ll see further reading which outlines some of the research we’ve done on places like Hawaii and New Zealand, and interesting projects like the Flinders Island “living lab” which is trying to align tourism with community values. One of the good parts of this research is that you come away thinking, we’re doing pretty well!

NT: Can you put me through the numbers? In the discussion paper you say that tourism represents 14 per cent of the labour force. Surely it’s more if you include food and beverages.

Andrew: Those things are hard to measure because tourism isn’t an economic sector by itself. The statistics we quote are from Economy ID which is part of the Bureau of Statistics data. But anecdotally you could get to 30 per cent by including restaurants and cafes. If you add the real estate industry you’d have close to half the population directly or indirectly involved in tourism.

NT: If you made that bold assumption that 50 per cent of us are making money out of tourism directly or indirectly, would that change the parameters of the DMP? Andrew: No, it wouldn’t change at all. We want the community to have a say on the future direction of tourism, irrespective of the numbers. And unlike previous surveys, this cuts across other aspects, like waste management, traffic management, destination marketing and much more. It touches on all aspects of council business.

Caroline: What do you mean by changing the parameters?

NT: I mean if the assumption was that half the population is invested in tourism growth,

DMP workshop.

Discussions paper authors Caroline Osborne and Andrew Saunders. then a DMP saying we should reduce growth or eliminate it might not be received very well.

Andrew: The clue here is the line we use on the cover: “Growing well together”. Growth is inevitable, but there are a lot of ways to look at managing it.

Caroline: Regenerative and sustainable growth are the keys. What we’re hearing from the community is that there is a reticence about growth but also an acknowledgement that it is inevitable.

NT: You describe regenerative tourism as leaving the destination better than you found it, which sounds to me like the impossible dream.

Andrew: It comes back to pushing your values as a community at every level. We love living here and we hope that you’ll love being here and look after it the way we do. That’s the message.

NT: Council’s waste department has told me that tourists are the worst waste offenders and the hardest to police or educate. They may have come from somewhere there is no consciousness about the problem, or they’re simply here on holiday and they think the rules do not apply.

Andrew: Which is clearly an opportunity for the community to lead the way in behavioural change.

NT: Let’s look at the four scenarios: do nothing.

Do you expect anyone to agree with that?

Andrew: Some people will say that council should step back from some things, and because this is covering such a broad range of issues, from a governance perspective some people might tell us that we should pull back that involvement.

NT: Does that translate to people in the indus-

try saying don’t get involved, let market forces work it out?

Andrew: We haven’t heard that yet, but we’re just coming into our first workshop.

NT: Steady state. Does that mean that we continue with what we’re doing, even with strategies that don’t work?

Andrew: It was originally called “business as usual”. It really means being reactive rather than proactive.

NT: But 84 per cent of respondents in the Liveability survey said that tourism was disrupting their lives.

Andrew: And tourism is a vital part of the DMP but it’s not all of it. We are looking at other things.

NT: Let’s move onto aspirational and transformational, which I take to mean let’s make changes slowly or let’s make them quickly. But in the latter you say profound change is what is meant. To me that implies a no growth position.

Andrew: No, that’s not what it means. Aspirational is a shorter time frame, transformational might be longer, say five to 10 years. One might lead to the other. Crawl before you can walk, so to speak. Aspirational to me means looking to the horizon, transformational means looking over the horizon. We didn’t see it in terms of less growth or more growth. We saw it as asking how far do you want us to pull those levers?

Caroline: We’ve talked a lot about the language around the scenarios, whether they range from a hard no to a maybe to a hard yes, but on the advice of the Project Control Group and others we decided to put it into a framework of things that might happen.

Andrew: That’s the crux of the discussion paper – how much change do you want?

NT: Is there a timeframe on getting the DMP out?

Andrew: If we get the quantity and quality of feedback we’re hoping for by the end of October, we’ll be meeting with council mid-November with a summary of the data and ideas, and if council is satisfied with that, we’d be looking to produce the DMP by mid-December. We could deep-dive under the elections and come out the other side, but we would prefer not to lose any impetus.

River vote’s Mex connection From page 1 “This is the first time the report has come to council. A conservation park has never been raised before,” she said. Noosa Today understands that a conservation park for the river was in fact discussed at an internal workshop in June this year, in the context of councillors looking at the first draft settings of the River Plan. According to our informant, there was a detailed discussion about how a conservation park under the Nature Conservation Act, covering only the existing fish habitat areas, might work. There was no dissent at the time and the section of the draft River Plan devoted to it makes quite clear that what is proposed is “an action to consider”, implying many more rounds of community and stakeholder consultation on the proposal.

At the general committee meeting Cr Stockwell spoke against the deferral, saying: “We’ve had six years’ consultation. We’ve had multiple forms of community consultation. We should understand [the] issues and aspirations … It’s time for political leadership.”

But councillors voted 4:3 in favour of deferring the matter to this month’s round of council meetings, with Crs Stewart, Finzel and Jurisevic voting with Lorentson.

Noosa Today has learned that the River Plan deferral sparked a heated confrontation a couple of days later at a councillor briefing with Acting CEO Larry Sengstock and other council staffers, with two councillors threatening to walk out of the meeting, claiming that they were being pressured over the vote to defer the plan for further consultation. Council staff, for their part, believe they are being placed under immense pressure to redraft a plan they thought was complete, alongside numerous other responsibilities. This masthead understands that subsequently complaints were made to the Queensland Office of the Independent Assessor, but have been dismissed.

Meanwhile, within hours of the River Plan deferral, the Noosa Boating Fishing Alliance had launched a petition to “stop Noosa River turning into a Conservation Park” [with more than 2500 people signed on] and local social media was awash with misinformation about bans on petrol and diesel boats, commercial and recreational fishing and just about every other way you can have fun on the river, none of which are part of the River Plan, which is freely available for download on the Noosa Council website.

On 23 September Noosa Parks Association published a detailed discussion paper on the Conservation Park concept on its website, in which it explained: “The Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 allows the establishment of Conservation Parks that have multiple uses including recreation and fishing. A Conservation Park is different to a National Park.

For example, a Conservation Park can allow commercial activities including fishing whereas this can rarely occur in a National Park.”

The paper goes on to outline the success of other multi-use Conservation Parks around Queensland, and says of its likely impact on Noosa River: “Noosa River and its lakes and creeks are a magnificent waterway system with remarkable biodiversity values that also

underpin the Noosa economy and lifestyle including tourism, commercial and recreational fishing as well as a wide variety of water-based recreational activities. In the Noosa River and its lakes and creeks, 6,074 ha is already declared Fish Habitat Area. The same boundaries that define the Fish Habitat Area would form appropriate boundaries for a Conservation Park managed for multiple purposes including conservation, commercial and recreational fishing, and recreation generally.

“Areas of the Noosa River not covered by the Fish Habitat Area, including the busy lower reaches, Noosaville Foreshore, Canal Estates and private Noosa North Shore water frontages, would not be in the Conservation Park. It could be combined with existing Conservation Parks established on the banks of the river such as Noosa Conservation Park, Weyba Creek Conservation Park, Keyser Island Conservation Park, Sheep Island Conservation Park, and Goat Island Conservation Park.”

On 12 October Noosa councillors were briefed by staff at a councillor workshop on developments since the 18 September deferral. Noosa Today understands that councillors

were walked through a timeline of every step of consultation and review since an update of the 2004 river plan was endorsed in January 2017, as well as a detailed timeline of recent “targeted stakeholder engagement” since May. Feedback since the deferral had revealed that the vast majority of stakeholders remained supportive of the River Plan, while only three opposed it. One of these, from the Noosa Boating Fishing Alliance claimed the “time frame was inappropriate and contravenes the principles of community engagement.”

Speaking after the workshop, Cr Stockwell, who has been involved in the river plan since 2003-4 as a state bureaucrat, president of Noosa Residents and Ratepayers and now a councillor, told Noosa Today: “Every time we’ve looked at it over those years I’ve felt that the vast majority of residents and stakeholders wanted to see the conservation of the natural areas of the river, so I’m not surprised to see that they are overwhelmingly in favour of the River Plan going ahead. I can’t tell you what we were briefed on at Thursday’s River Plan workshop, but I will say that from my experience and from my conversations since last month’s

deferral vote, I’m very confident that the vast majority of key community groups involved in the plan and the River Advisory Group would like to see council adopt it.”

Meanwhile, as he campaigned for the Yes vote last week and researched Mexican wifi systems, Cr Wegener also found time to reflect on the larger issues surrounding the River Plan. “I feel there’s a certain irony in some of the fishing and boating groups saying they want the state to continue having jurisdiction over the river and for the council to butt out, while other community groups are screaming at the state for butting in on our local affairs with forced population growth and a failure to do anything about social housing.

“Re-kicking the can down the road endlessly, the way I see it, councillors are elected representatives of the community and we are meant to make decisions. Is endless consultation really what the community wants? I don’t think so. The reality is if the River Plan doesn’t go through on 26 October, we won’t have a plan, and that’s not in the best interests of the community.”

By Margie Maccoll Building height and signage bylaws with a preference for a paint palette of “muted tones“ are sticking points to the approval by Noosa Council of a Bunnings Hardware and Trade supplies store on vacant land beside its existing Warehouse at 178 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville.

The application from the Bunnings Group that went before Council’s planning and environment committee meeting last week is for a two level 1087sqm building with car parking on the lower level and a store on the upper level, primarily to provide timber and trade supplies to professional builders and trades customers.

Proposed on land zoned medium impact industry which complies with the Noosa Plan 2020 the new Bunnings would operate independently from the existing warehouse, have a single elevator, separate website and differentiate itself by its white and green colour scheme.

Council staff told the meeting the building generally complied with the planning scheme, apart from its 12m height which was 2m above the plan’s 10m requirement.

When questioned why they need to go so high, Bunnings told staff they needed the height for “racking and stacking their pallets“.

Staff said they supported the increase in height after considering the proposal’s built form outcomes, its impact on the streetscape, and comparison to surrounding building heights.

Cr Brian Stockwell said he understood the justification for the height relaxation, but the

Bunnings Group proposes to build a Hardware and Trade supplies store next to its existing warehouse (pictured). signage needed to be assessed under Council’s new signage bylaws.

Staff told the meeting there was a separate court approval obtained by Bunnings for signage for the existing warehouse and they had probably “maxed out“ their existing signage.

“When we reviewed the sign laws, one of the things we tried to stop was businesses using signage by using corporate logos and colours,“ Cr Stockwell said.

“The colour scheme is part of signage.

“Commercial enterprises will want corporate colours. In Noosa we don’t, we want what our scheme says, which is muted tones.

“We appear to be not trying to get the best outcome. We’d like to see businesses in Noosa, not large with stand-out signage. We don’t need 2m signs saying we’re open.“ The application was referred to Council’s general committee meeting for further consideration.

Join the Garage Sale Trail in November to turn your unwanted possessions into cash or grab yourself a bargain.

Noosa Council has joined more than 80 local governments across Australia taking part in the national event to encourage recycling and re-use and reduce waste to landfill.

With free registration, how-to guides, and promotional resources available, anyone can host a garage sale easily, and find where to go to grab a bargain, across two big weekends - November 11 and 12, and November 18 and 19.

Noosaville resident Justin said his family was pleased to get involved in the Garage Sale Trail to part with things they no longer needed.

“This way you know the things you no longer need are going to someone who wants them so it’s great for the environment and the conscience,” he said.

“It’s a great project for the kids to get behind, as it helps teach them about the circular economy and gives them a way to make a bit of pocket money,” he said.

Noosa Council’s Waste Coordinator, Mark Borgert, said the Garage Sale Trail initiative supported Council’s goal of reducing waste and boosting recycling and reuse.

“Buying and selling second-hand items via garage sales helps pass good working items on to people who can use them, so they don’t needlessly end up in landfill,” he said.

“Hosting a garage sale can feel daunting, but our involvement in the Garage Sale Trail gives residents access to handy guides for setting up a garage sale and help to promote it, including listings on the Garage Sale Trail website.”

Mr Borgert said participation was open to community groups and charity stores as well.

Justin and Peita, and their kids Angus and Emmett, prepare for the Garage Sale Trail.

“With the current cost-of-living pressures, garage sales are a great way to pick up useful items at bargain prices,” he said.

“More than 400,000 people are expected to participate across Australia this year over the two weekends, with around three million items going up for sale,” Mr Borgert said.

“Last year’s event alone diverted over 3 million kilograms of valuable items away from landfill – that’s the circular economy in action!”

A series of Trail Tutorial online workshops will be held on October 28 and 29.

They’re free and available to the public, and explore sustainable living that is kind on the planet and pocket. An all-star cast of experts will also share insights on secondhand selling, styling and the circular economy.

Line dancing for a cause

The high temperature didn’t stop the dancers from giving it their all for charity. lowing plenty of time for dancers to become familiar with the steps and to work at their own pace.

Sue holds a variety of classes from absolute beginner through to more challenging dancing levels.

If a beginner joins in worrying that they may have ‘two left feet’, Sue will assure them they will be dancing in no time. Absolute Be-

ginner workshops are commenced periodically and usually run for 5-6 weeks with learner videos available to purchase so beginners can enjoy a bit of ‘secret practise’ in the privacy of their own homes!

As one dancer voiced recently, “I used to come to dancing and basically just do steps, but Sue has taught me to really dance. I love it.”

Sue said, “The Sunny Coasters Linedancing group are a most inclusive club and are truly inspiring and friendly, new members are always welcome. This is evidenced by the phenomenal growth in club members over the past five years.”

From page 1 “Our goal was to raise $2000 and we have raised almost $4000 with donations still coming in. Thank you to my dancers for your brilliant pink effort and overall contributions for the event. And to the dancers who couldn’t make it on the day, for your contributions and everyone for reaching out to friends and family for theirs.”

The Sunny Coasters would also like to thank Roy and Hannah from the Bakers Pantry for their very generous donation and Trent from The Marina Bar Noosa for providing all the pink decorations and the venue for morning tea. Also big thanks to Alison Taylor at LensArt for photos and videos.

In addition to their love of dancing, the Sunny Coasters enjoy being active and involved within the community.

“We were absolutely delighted to be invited

by Bonza to perform on several occasions at the Sunshine Coast Airport, this of course was a huge accolade for the club,” Sue said.

“The Sunny Coasters have treated the residents at many aged care facilities over the past few years to a fun-filled time of dancing, lifting their spirits, and bringing smiles to all. Most recently, we visited Arcare Noosa. The suggestion of participation was enthusiastically received and many of the dear residents, some of whom were dancers ‘back in the day’, rose to their feet and felt the music.”

They will be returning to Arcare in December, to once again dance for the residents as part of their Christmas celebrations.

The linedancing group also recently supported the Sunshine Butterflies in their annual Walk in Wings event which was held on the Noosa river waterfront. They will be welcomed once again to join the Butterflies for their annual Christmas celebration held at the Sunshine Butterflies property.

“This is a beautiful morning where we perform and invite the members and carers to dance and sing along. The event always brings joy and tears to everyone’s eyes, including our dancers,“ a Sunny Coasters member said.

Established here in Noosa five years ago, founder and teacher, Sue Ravenscroft has been teaching dance for over 30 years and “believes wholeheartedly in the benefits of dance and health – physical, mental and social.”

“As we get older, we have a greater chance of falls and dance is great for balance and is massively helpful for coordination,” Sue said.

“Line dancing offers some attractive benefits – no partner required, includes relatively easy steps to learn, requires no previous dance experience, and introduces a combination of different music genres.”

Other members of the Sunny Coasters say, “We’re very excited to see our following in the community continue to grow. There seems to be a commonality among all the dancers, the need for a social network, the yearning for well-being, and the desire to move their bodies.“ Sue is an excellent teacher who runs her classes focussing on a maximum of dancing and a minimum of teaching, her students say.

This helps to consolidate the dancing so al-

Campaign comes to end The campaign to Save Yaroomba from the Sekisui multi high rise development is over.

Friends of Yaroomba President, Jim Moore, said the long painful process had elements of a Shakespearean tragedy with the love of place by the community versus the opportunity for profit by an external force.

“While we are naturally disappointed with the outcome, we are extremely proud to have been key players who led the massive fundraising campaign despite an obvious strategy to wear us down and out.”

“By banding together our community managed to raise $600,000 for legal expenses and made life so difficult for the global property development company that they finally pulled out and sold the precious beachside land.

“We have shown just how much locals love Yaroomba. Several community groups and individuals along with Coolum and North Shore Coast Care are involved with the preservation of its unspoilt beachfront with quite a unique ecosystem including nesting grounds for the endangered loggerhead turtles.

“We hope the new land owner will recognise the strength of our community’s resolve, and design a development that complements these special natural attributes, and even enhances them. Surely that is what new residents buying into the development would want anyway.”

Mr Moore said the fundamental issue was the Town Plan.

“A home owner and local builders must

“We fought to uphold the current Town Plan as it should ensure certainty for everyone. It is a complex set of rules put together by experts with extensive input and effort from a variety of community stakeholders, and at consider-

able cost to local ratepayers.”

“The Shakespearean plot has made this community much stronger. Together we showed that the voice of the people does matter. We won an appeal in the Supreme Court which is an amazing accomplishment for a tiny community. Three esteemed judges agreed with us that our voices had not been heard.

Picture: COOPER BRADY “Sadly that decision had to go back to the planning court judge who, again, did not hear the voices of over 9000 people.”

The future for Friends of Yaroomba is bright, as the organisation can now focus on positive events and activities to enhance daily life within our community. Several events are already in the pipeline. New members are welcome at facebook.com/friendsofyaroomba

Conservationists, bike riders welcome protected areas Conservationists and mountain bike riders have welcomed the news that 2548 hectares of former State Forest, including Ferny Forest on the Sunshine Coast, will be permanently protected from logging, grazing and mining.

A motion to start the process for the creation of these protected areas went through Queensland Parliament last Thursday evening.

Queensland Conservation Council protected areas campaigner Nicky Moffat said it was great to see the Palaszczuk Government taking actions consistent with its promise to end native forest logging in the region and double Queensland’s protected areas network to 17 per cent of the state.

“This is a great first step for endangered greater gliders, koalas and dozens of threatened species and ecological communities that rely on these forest ecosystems,“ Ms Moffat said.

“It’s also great news for mountain bike riders and others who enjoy using conservation parks. Locals will be thrilled.

“There is up to 70,000 hectares of public native forests in SEQ available for logging.

We are calling on the Palaszczuk government to protect all public native forests across the region before October next year in line with

Sunshine Coast locals overjoyed when logging plans were abandoned in Ferny Forest, December 2022. Photo: Patrick Woods. previous commitments and policy.”

Mountain bike rider Cameron Gibson, 45, lives in Narangba and grew up near Glass-

house Mountains, and has been riding in Ferny Forest and other SEQ forests since he was 14 years old.

“It’s awesome news Ferny is protected. I ride there often, and take mates there. I go out there now and feel like I’m 14 again - I love being in the bush,” Mr Gibson said.

“This area has the best local tracks for mountain biking, it’s such a great thing for kids to get into so it’ll be great to preserve them. It’s amazing the animals you see in these forests, I’ve seen koalas, pythons and even platypus in some of these forests.

They’re really important.”

Proud awards Katie Rose a top finalist Noosa Council’s infrastructure expertise was recognised last week with IPWEA Qld Excellence Awards for the Beckmans Road Intersection Upgrade and the Noosa Biosphere Trail 5 Upgrade.

Council CEO Larry Sengstock said the awards commend extraordinary efforts and outcomes in public works infrastructure across Queensland.

“It is great that our staff are recognised and rewarded for their outstanding work by their peers. From our staff, through to the contractors and all involved in the project, it’s been a brilliant team effort to deliver a great outcome for these projects,” Mr Sengstock said.

The Beckmans Road Intersection Upgrade took out the award for best project in the Road Safety and Infrastructure category.

“This project was the largest infrastructure project designed in-house by Council,“ Mr Sengstock said.

“The project was testament to Council’s commitment to providing sustainable and safe infrastructure solutions for the local community.“ This $9.81 million Queensland Government-funded project was designed and built

by Council to enhance traffic flow and road safety while also providing improved facilities for cyclists and pedestrians.

The project demonstrated Council’s commitment to technical excellence and innovative approaches in infrastructure delivery.

The integration of a hybrid project management model, the use of foamed bitumen stabilised base material, and the creative problemsolving demonstrated in the design process all contributed to the project’s success and set a benchmark for future projects within the region.

The second win of the award’s night was for the Noosa Biosphere Trail 5 Upgrade, which took out the award for best project between $1 million and $2 million in the IPWEAQ

Beckmans Road Intersection upgrade was recognised with an award.

Project manager Aiden Flannery said the Cooroora Trail upgrade improved the 10km Cooroora Trail between Pomona and Cooran.

“After being devastated by the 2019 bushfires, the project restored the trail, while also enhancing accessibility, safety, and sustainability,” Mr Flannery said.

“Upgrade works included trail realignments, selective widening, resurfacing, drainage and new wayfinding and interpretive signage.

“Recycled asphalt was also applied to a small section of the trail susceptible to flooding to improve durability and reduce maintenance requirements.“ This project was funded through the Australian and Queensland Governments’ Local Economic Recovery.

The IPWEAQ awards recognise public and private organisations and individuals who have demonstrated best practice and innovation in public works infrastructure across Queensland.

FOCUS ON CARERS WEEK NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Milestone celebrated Creating an inclusive space supporting socially motivated young people with Autism has been a dream come true for the founders of Social Studio Noosa.

During National Carers Week (15 – 21 October), Claire Gilmour and Glenn Carmichael are celebrating the first birthday of their family owned and operated business.

They’ve both been long involved in local business and the not for profit sector and combined forces to bring this deeply personal venture to the Sunshine Coast community in October 2022.

Claire has been a well-known presence, advocate and supporter for the Sunshine Coast Autism community for many years.

Her undying dedication is driven by a very personal connection to Autism that began in 2012 when her son Cooper was diagnosed and a whole new life and reality set in.

Lost in a world of appointments, therapy, wondering if Coop would ever talk, have friends, be invited to a birthday party or live an independent life, she decided to create a local charity to help support him and other kids and families living with Autism.

Through her experience, Claire saw a growing need for our Autism and Neurodiverse community to have a permanent space where everyone can have fun and socialise, and the Social Studio was born.

As Head of Social, Claire’s role entails creating fun and engaging groups, programs and social events, not only for the kids, teens and young adults, but parents and carers as well.

To get involved visit socialstudio.com.au Find Social Studio Noosa at 90 Goodchap Street, Suite 408 Level 1 Building B, Noosaville.

Santa’s classy helpers cheer for $11k donation Locale Noosa was bathed in the spirit of giving last Thursday 12 October for the inaugural Primavera All’Italiano Ladies Luncheon, hosted by the ladies of Reed and Co. Estate Agents.

This luncheon, dedicated to supporting Santa’s Classy Helpers, was a tremendous success, raising an impressive $11,580 for disadvantaged local families in need this Christmas time.

Santa’s Classy Helpers is a not for profit, local organisation that works tirelessly to ensure that families referred by organisations like The Salvation Army, Sunny Kids, DOC’s and others experience the joy they deserve during the festive season.

All proceeds from the event, totalling $11,580, contribute directly to this heartwarming endeavour, bringing comfort and cheer to those who truly deserve it.

One of Santa’s Classy Helpers key initiatives involves providing families in need with a full trolley of groceries, essential clothing, essential homewares such as towels or pillows, and treats just before Christmas.

Larysa Doolan, Joy Matus, Kerry Boulton, Zlata Mooney, Kaz Hay, Amanda Dale, Lee-Anne Pentreath, Christine Cargill and Cath Davis.

If you would like to join the army of volunteers who set up The J in Noosa Junction on Monday 4 December, or assist with providing a trolley of groceries, clothing and treats for local disadvantaged families on Tuesday 5 December, please contact the team at Santa’s Classy Helpers who work so tirelessly to ensure a joyful Christmas for all.

Founder and director of Reed and Co. Estate Agents Adrian Reed said, “We are thrilled by the outpouring of support from our community and local businesses for this

inaugural Ladies event.”

“The success of the event reaffirms the incredible capacity for good that exists when we come together with a shared purpose.

“Santa’s Classy Helpers will be able to make a profound impact on the lives of disadvantaged families in our community, thanks to the generosity of all involved.”

Monique Sommer and Kate Cox of Reed and Co. Estate Agents opened the luncheon by welcoming guests and setting the tone for the day ahead. The highlight of the day was listening to Lorraine Kenway of Classy Lady Noosa, who described the work that Santa’s Classy Helpers do year after year.

Lorraine explained the stories and situations disadvantaged families find themselves in at what should be a joyful time of the year for all.

Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort has achieved Sustainable Tourism Certification from Ecotourism Australia.

Best practices Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort has achieved Sustainable Tourism Certification from Ecotourism Australia in recognition of its commitment to protecting the planet and people.

Sustainable Tourism Certification is given to properties that demonstrate best practice across four pillars of sustainability: sustainable management, environmental impacts, cultural impacts, and socio-economic impacts, with each property independently audited to ensure it meets strict criteria.

As the first five-star luxury hotel in Noosa, the resort is committed to not only reducing its environmental footprint, but to actively making a positive impact and giving back to the community.

Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort general manager Mark Wilkinson said, “Visitors come to Noosa to experience its exceptional beauty and ecology and we are proud to play our part in protecting this through a culture of sustainable hospitality.”

“We consistently and continuously monitor, measure and mitigate our operations to reduce our environmental footprint, but more than that, we actively look for ways to make a positive impact.”

Queensland suppliers.

The resort is committed to reducing its energy, water, and food waste and eliminating single-use plastics, with Balmain refillable amenities in all rooms. They are also highlighting local and sustainable suppliers, including local farmers, to not only give back to the community, but to reduce food miles.

Noosa was listed by UNESCO as an official Biosphere Reserve in 2007, the first in Queensland, designating it a place of learning for sustainable development and ensuring the protection of its natural terrestrial, marine and coastal ecosystems. This designation also restores the traditional life of the First Nations People living in the vicinity and conserves the biodiversity of the area.

Elissa Keenan, CEO of Ecotourism Australia said, “We applaud Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort for its sustainable and responsible tourism practices, which are a benchmark for how hotels can work proactively in their communities to protect the unique natural environment of their destinations. Through Sustainable Tourism Certification, hotels can play a role in inspiring others to adapt their own behaviours to be responsible stewards of our planet.”

Noosa says G’day to 300 travel agents for event Tourism Noosa and industry members met with 300 travel agents from around the globe in Cairns, as part of Tourism Australia’s G’Day Australia travel agent event last week.

The agents that participated in the workshop and familiarisation event are qualified Aussie Specialist Agents from retail outlets and key wholesalers across 15 international tourism markets.

Around 130 Australian tourism operators attended the event, with a large contingent from Queensland.

Tourism Noosa’s Trade and Business Events Manager Vynka Hutton said it was encouraging to see the high level of interest in Noosa.

“The event provides an opportunity for Australian tourism providers to meet face to face with agents so they are better informed and educated to confidently sell a holiday to Australia to millions of visitors around the world,” Ms Hutton said.

“Competition around the world is stronger than ever, making these events so important to ensure Noosa is front of mind when agents are booking their clients Australian holidays.“ The international markets to Noosa have bounced back, with our key destinations of United Kingdom, New Zealand, North America and Europe returning in strong numbers.

Tourism Research Australia predicts that international spend will exceed pre-COVID levels by 2024, and visitors’ numbers by 2025.

Eight Aussie Specialists from the event also visited Noosa on a pre-familiarisation from the United Kingdom and European markets – Noosa’s key international markets.

River users well behaved More trips were recorded for the Noosa Coast Guard during the school holidays, but crews say behaviour on the water was generally good.

This may have been in part due to more enforcement action by MSQ, Fisheries and Water Police.

The bar and river mouth were challenging for a number of boaties, with parts of the main river channel now shallow and very narrow making navigating in and out of the bar hazardous, as witnessed by a number of assists the Coast Guard carried out in and around the bar.

Should the current conditions remain over the Christmas holiday period, it will be an extremely busy time for Coast Guard.

During the month of September there were 15 requests for assistance.

Flotilla Commander Lindsay Hall said two of these involved boats rolling over on the Noosa Bar. In the first rollover incident, a RIB rolled over and while a Coast Guard crew were activated, a member of the boating public managed to tow the RIB to safety.

In the second incident a 4.5m Quintrex Fish-About overturned on the bar. Luckily, the passenger, a youth, was wearing a life jacket, as he ended up under the vessel briefly.

The adult on board was not wearing a life jacket. The assist was between the second and third bar, with waves battering our vessel as the crew took the upturned vessel in tow. The vessel was eventually righted and towed to Munna Point. The assist was described as a difficult assist.

The crews were also mobilised for several yachts that ran aground crossing the bar. In one incident a 28ft sail vessel grounded on sand near Doggy Beach on the way out. It eventually made it across the bar with Coast Guard assistance.

Mr Hall said the new Rotary Rescue build has

“We are expecting the vessel to join us prior to Christmas 2023,“ he said.

The build for the new Bendigo Rescue has been approved and construction is expected to start in October, for delivery early 2024.

The replacement for the John Waddams will take approximately 12 months to construct as there are time delays in the supply of gear boxes.

This vessel is being supplied to Coast Guard Noosa under the Queensland Government’s Marine Rescue Queensland programme.

“During the month we conducted a successful fundraising luncheon at Frenchie’s Restaurant,“ Mr Hall said.

“The money raised is being put toward the electronic fit out of the new Rotary Rescue. A big thanks to all those who attended.“ Legislation relating to the establishment of MRQ is not expected until June 2024, however

planning for its introduction is well underway with visits by MRQ personnel and audits currently being undertaken.

“We are grateful to our small team of sponsors for their support of our service to the community and thank you for your ongoing support,“ Mr Hall said.

SPOOKY FILES ABC ME, Monday, 5pm

United forces:

Katherine Renee Kane, John Boyd, Missy Peregrym and Dylan McDermott star in a thrilling FBI crossover event.

There’s nothing to be scared about in this warm-hearted tween series from the creators of Hardball and Nowhere Boys: the first episode alone features a flying sandwich and an adorable fluffy mauve monster. This 10-part adventure has a retro flavour that will give a warm fuzzy feeling to parents and which kids will find refreshingly original. Set in a suburban town, we meet siblings Bert and Xena (Thomas Saddler and Alberta Brudan, both pictured), who are living in a newly blended family with their older step-sister Billie (Audrey Salinas). Xena and Bert discover a trouble-making “Spooky”, inspiring Billie to join their team – along with friend Derek (Lennox Lee) – to guide these Spookys back to their homes.

THE MISSION SBS, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Marc Fennell’s (pictured) penetrative-yet-humorous investigative style makes everything the talented journo turns his eye to worthy of watching. Fennell, who had us glued to the screen with The Kingdom and Framed, paints a fascinating picture in this gripping, sumptuously shot investigative three-parter, kicking off tonight. It’s a strange true story that is just begging to be examined in great detail; in outback Western Australia, 1986, 26 European masterpieces were savagely ripped from their frames inside a Spanish monastery. It’s a perplexing, under-theradar art heist for the ages in which Fennell expertly draws every potent little detail, from the tiny monastic Aussie town to London and New York.

FBI: INTERNATIONAL 10, Sunday, 8.30pm

SIGNIFICANT OTHER SBS, Wednesday October 25, 9.30pm

FBI franchise creator Dick Wolf has upped the ante in the crime genre by blurring the lines between his separate series’ worlds in spontaneous crossover episodes. Tonight, it’s a three-hour extravaganza as a global case encompasses his three traditionally distinct series: FBI: International, FBI and FBI: Most Wanted. FBI ’s John Boyd, who plays special agent Stuart Scola, appears in all three episodes, which kick off in scenic Rome. Describing the crossover as surreal, Boyd said: “It was definitely a first, getting to take a character that I’ve been building for five seasons and drop into shows that I have watched.” Special agent Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) is also on the case, showing off some Italian lingo.

It’s billed as a rom-com, but this new British series is more black than you’d expect. Starring Katherine Parkinson, who sparkled in the cult hit tech comedy The IT Crowd, and Youssef Kerkour (pictured with Parkinson), it’s a tale of two misfits who inexplicably form a connection in the midst of a heart attack and a suicide attempt. It’s a bold premise that wholeheartedly embraces trying to find the mirth in melancholy.

Set in Manchester, 40-somethings Anna and Sam are each staring at rock bottom, until their misfortunes intersect before an ambulance trip.

Somehow, Anna puts up with divorced Sam’s appalling behaviour, which is likely to make you want to scream “Run!” at your screen.

St Andrew’s celebrates St Andrew’s Anglican College has celebrated 20 years of Visual Art, with the opening of its biggest Visual Arts Exhibition in the College’s history.

The two-storey Learning Hub will transform into a professional Art Gallery, featuring artwork from students in the Early Learning Centre all the way through to Year 12 major artworks, some of which will go on to feature at GOMA next year.

From humble beginnings of Art Exhibitions held in Science Classrooms, Head of Visual Art, Ben Hedstrom said he was proud to have grown the Visual Arts Exhibition to be a professional quality event to showcase student creativity.

With subject enrolments and co-curricular involvement in Visual Arts at an all-time high this year, it is testament to the growth and demand for the high-quality programs and world-class experiences offered at the College.

“My focus has been to create a love for Visual Art and an enduring place for Visual Art culture in the psyche of our community,” he said.

“Over the years, we have seen Visual Art at St Andrew’s grow into a valued part of the culture and life of the College, student body and community,” he said.

“We set out with a vision to ‘redefine Visual Art education and provide world-class opportunities and outcomes for our students’ and I’m delighted to say that at our 20th year anniversary we are well on our way to achieving this vision.”

Since 2016, St Andrew’s has had seven students feature as Creative Generation Excellence Award Winners at the prestigious exhibition held at QAGOMA in Brisbane, including current Year 12 student Sophie ArmstrongWearne.

Other success highlights from over the years include students achieving 100 per cent in Visual Art (under the ATAR system) and being awarded Top in the State in Visual Art, stu-

St Andrew’s Anglican College has celebrated 20 years of Visual Art. dents awarded significant Visual Arts Scholarships, students winning regional Art awards and many going on to become professional practising artists and creative professionals in a variety of industries.

Key to this growth and success over the past 20 years, Mr Hedstrom believes is relationships.

“At St Andrew’s we often say that our strength of relationships is what sets us apart.

Visual Art at St Andrew’s is no different,” he said.

“We pride ourselves on cultivating excellent relationships with our students, so we can lead

them to the deepest levels of learning engagement and the highest possible outcomes. We strive to connect with the Visual Art community and the broader community to bring realworld learning experiences and opportunities to our students and our student’s artwork to the world.”

Looking to the next 20 years with a mindset of continued growth and improvement the College’s next major undertaking will be researching and developing a plan for a Future Learning Precinct/STEAM centre – to provide an expansion of world-class facilities to support Visual Art programs for future

generations.

This year, the Visual Arts Exhibition will be judged by Sunshine Coast Artists Libby Derham and Petalia Humphries. Both Libby and Petalia are prominent and respected members of the Sunshine Coast visual art community as well as former Visual Art teachers at the College The Visual Arts Exhibition opened on Friday 13 October, in the Learning Hub with the official opening night and awards ceremony, at St Andrew’s Anglican College. Get in quick as it’s only open to view from 3.30pm to 5pm until Friday 20 October.

FOCUS ON CARERS WEEK

Prep playtime redefined Prep teacher Kellie Moody has enthusiastically introduced an innovative play approach called Loose Parts Play for the Prep children at Sunshine Beach State School.

Kellie developed a keen interest in Loose Parts play, engaging in her own research extending on her deep understanding of the benefits of play for children.

Loose Parts Play fosters creativity, imagination, communication and collaboration.

This play initiative provides open-ended play experiences through a variety of materials and encourages children to explore their creativity without constraints.

Kellie said, “At Sunshine Beach State School, we believe in hands-on learning, and ’Loose Parts Play’ is a perfect example.

It’s amazing to see how our little innovators can turn simple materials into imaginative worlds.”

Loose Parts Play involves providing children with an assortment of open-ended items such as fabric, cardboard, crates, tubes, and other common objects, referred to as loose parts. These items can be combined, moved, and transformed in various ways, giving children the freedom to build, create, and experiment as they see fit.

The primary goal is to stimulate children’s imaginative thinking and problem-solving skills. By engaging with these open-ended materials, students have the chance to develop their critical thinking, fine and gross motor skills, communication abilities, and social skills. This approach encourages children to think creatively, adapt their play environment, and collaborate with their peers.

Sunshine Beach State School has set aside a dedicated space within its Prep playground to facilitate Loose Parts Play.

During class time and play breaks, students can explore and interact with these materials freely, allowing them to engage in

Loose Parts Play fosters creativity, imagination, communication and collaboration. self-directed, creative play.

“We would like to thank Noosa Council, Peita Otterbach, the Waste Education and Sustainability Officer and Mitch from Reviva at the Doonan Resource Recovery Centre, for making the donations of loose parts to our school,“ Kellie said.

Loose Parts Play is a great way to be truly sustainable, recycling old junk into magical resources that can be used over and over again in a myriad of ways.

Prep students have embraced Loose Parts

Play with enthusiasm, engaging in imaginative play scenarios that include building time machines, creating businesses, going on fishing trips and embarking on virtual world travels. This type of play not only fosters creativity but also helps students develop essential life skills, such as negotiation, adaptability, and problem-solving. The Loose Parts Play initiative at Sunshine Beach State School, led by Kellie Moody is an embodiment of the school’s commitment to holistic education, providing an environment that nurtures creativity, imagination, and collaboration.

Loose Parts Play involves providing children with an assortment of open-ended items.

Help shape the DMP The Noosa community is being asked to consider what’s important in managing the shire for residents and visitors, as work continues on developing a destination management plan.

Council’s Manager, Economic Development and Destination Management, Lynne Banford said residents across the Shire have welcomed the open dialogue with Council and the opportunity to be listened to.

“There was a fantastic turnout at our most recent coffee chat and our first community workshop in Cooroy on October 14, with several residents congratulating Council on hosting these important conversations to hear and understand the unique hinterland perspective on destination management,” Ms Banford said.

“What has been interesting is that while each community may have different ideas on how to manage tourism in their specific location all parts of the region are united in the idea that we cannot lose the natural beauty and unique lifestyle that brought us here to live, and, that council and the community need to work together to determine how tourism can enrich our towns and communities, like it has done in other parts of the world,” Ms Banford said.

The coffee chats are an informal opportunity for members of the community to share their thoughts and ideas.

“Council will even shout you a coffee for your time and input,” Ms Banford said.

The remaining coffee chats are: Tuesday October 24 Forest Cafe Acres Noosaville 10.30am – 12pm Saturday October 28 Trail 518 Pomona 9.30am – 11am.

Aside from coffee chats, there are further community workshops. The workshops are more structured around the key themes outlined in the Discussion Paper.

Participants have the opportunity to identify issues and solutions and discuss them together. Participants need to register for these workshops at yoursay.noosa.qld.gov. au.

The remaining workshops are on: Noosaville Library, Wallace Park, Tuesday 24 October, 2-4pm Pomona Rural Futures Centre, 65 Pavilion St, Pomona, Saturday 28 October, 11am -1pm.

A roadmap to river health In the past few weeks much fuss has been made about “an action to consider the establishment of a Conservation Park,” in the Noosa River. However, this is a very small element of a wide-ranging plan which largely focuses on silt and pollutants entering the river. Noosa Council has abundant knowledge of the problems and the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan is a roadmap to fixing them.

In the past decade Noosa Council has supported numerous studies to measure the health of the river and many of them have reported worrying results. For example, the 2021 seagrass study found that there has been an 83 per cent decline over the past 40 years. Another study found that life in the benthic layer (the bottom of the river) has declined by 30 per cent to 65 per cent over the past 20 years.

What has caused these declines? A key issue is silt runoff from dirt roads and agricultural land. The silt covers the river bottom in mud and inhibits sunlight penetrating the water.

As the Catchment Management Plan states, “The runoff can contain elevated quantities of sediment, nutrients, and chemical contaminants such as fertilisers and pesticides, and microbial contaminants such as animal faeces impacting aquatic health.” If we address these problems we will have a healthier river.

The Noosa River is entirely within the Noosa Shire. We, the Noosa residents, should be completely and solely responsible for its health. The Noosa River Catchment Management Plan has been drafted and consulted on many times in the past eight years. It is time to get to work.

Note: I have met with fishermen who have claimed that fish life is currently thriving in the river. If this is correct it is great news, and I thank them for their time and information.

However, I still believe we must follow the science and move forward on addressing the pollutants entering the river.

Noosa councillor Tom Wegener, Cooroy

Referendum result no surprise It’s of no surprise to see that the ACT was the only State to vote yes in the Referendum.

How often are we told that’s where all the thinkers, intellectuals and what’s best for Australia and her future is decided.

As just one of the many thousand Australians satisfied with what she offers me each day they don’t get it wrong too many times.

Even with the policies and political interference of some just there to warm their backsides during unnecessary school yard bullying and “it’s my ball so I am captain.”

Not forgetting the comedy of early Thursday ejection from the House Of Representatives when an early flight home is (prayed) played for.

It’s a thankless job even if the remuneration is not too bad.

Ernest Wright, Tewantin

The truth revealed Has the ‘Voice’ loudly revealed to the rest of the world the details of who Australians truly are?

Just asking for friends.

Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Time for listening The proposed law “To alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by

establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice” was rejected by Australian Citizens through the Referendum conducted on 14 October.

Many emotionally charged accusations have been made concerning the motivations of those who voted “No”. In this time of heightened emotion, it is time to be cautious of impulsive emotional reaction. It is time for quiet contemplation.

All Australians already have “a Voice”, set in our Constitution. All Australians have the right and responsibility to choose their Voice to represent their interests in Parliament in 3 or 4 year term elections on three levels of government.

I would contend that a major reason for the rejection of the proposal was that clear detail of what the selection of A Voice would entail.

Any ‘misinformation’ – a term voiced frequently since 14 October - would have been the result of absence of clear factual ‘information’.

Confusion was evident also in comments of ‘Yes’ vote advocates in on air discussion. Many referred to the vote as a rejection of Reconciliation rather than a Voice.

Respect is due to voters who voted No rather than commit to a proposal lacking any detail of operation.

Australians must respect the right and ability of indigenous Australians to know what is required to improve quality of life, and the right and ability to take responsibility to know how that can be achieved and to lead the change.

Choosing one person to represent the needs of all indigenous people really changes nothing.

It is imperative that ‘The Government’ does not embed a Cargo Cult.

The No vote result could be a positive outcome. It has resulted in discussion that it is time for change of many attitudes. It is time

for all Australians to talk with rather than to – to listen to others, Lynne Cameron, Tewantin

Response to Soapbox article

by Barry Cotterell (NT15/9) I was intrigued to read the Soapbox article, in which Mr. Barry Cotterell states, “In Peregian Beach, for instance, More than half the accommodation on the ocean side of David Low Way, is now for visitors”.

I am intrigued as to where Mr. Cotterel would come up with such a number!

In a quick check of my immediate area of some forty properties I counted three that are let for holiday visitors. Barely 10 per cent;. Certainly nothing close to, “More than half” (50 per cent).

Perhaps Mr. Cotterel could enlighten the readers as to where he derived this data.

Gerard Gardiner, Peregian Beach CORRECTION In Noosa Today in the story ’Shark Net Furore’ last week, Sharon Wright was incorrectly identified as NBRF Executive Coordinator.

Sharon Wright is the former executive coordinator of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF), having resigned from NBRF on 9 June 2023.

In addition, the article referred to a research project. It should have said, shark control program.

Explaining conservation come difficult to attain.

Becoming a Trustee of a Conservation Park gives regulatory support to Noosa Council, staff, and residents to take a central and more effective role. We can think of Noosa shire as the cog that can turn the wheels of state parliament for action on the river. A Conservation Park would establish the opportunity for accountable relationships with state government on a myriad of issues including water quality, vessels, wildlife, destination management, conflict of use that we as residents could rely on into the future. With the proposed increases in population to SEQ, it seems wise that Noosa Council ensure it has formal arrangements with state government rather than informal to manage these and other issues.

It is important to note that fishing, boating and tourism activities may all continue, in a Conservation Park. These key activities drive our business economy and are enjoyed by many residents as part of our Noosa lifestyle.

Additionally, recent surveys by Noosa Council list the environment as the number one topic of interest for residents. By considering a Conservation Park, Council can also respond to environmental concerns in the river and those matters that might also impact from the river onto our beaches and into our beautiful coastal waters.

The Noosa River Catchment Plan has been in development for six years and been through multiple rounds of community consultation.

Although, as mentioned, this addition to ‘consider’ a Conservation Park has been included in the last few months. It seems that the delay, voted on by four Councillors, related to the Conservation Park. In the meeting, (recording available online), it was clear that several of these Councillors had been emailed by former members of the now defunct, Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee. Some of these Councillors suggested the comments were said to come from members of the boating and fishing sectors. They raised concerns and fears about the Noosa River Catchment Plan, and in particular, the proposal to ‘consider’ a Conservation Park. Some Councillors seem to question how a Conservation Park would help given the state would have ultimate jurisdiction over things like fisheries.

While these stakeholders may have voiced concerns, the many voices of those who came to Noosa to be closer to nature and to enjoy the natural surroundings were not present and perhaps unheard.

The Noosa River itself is under pressure from increasing visitation, and sadly is in decline, the scientific data and the water quality (evidenced by a drop in Healthy River status

from A to B; clearly visible to residents and long-term visitors particularly in the lower reaches of the river) tell us that action is required. Declining river health leads to declining coastal health. Inaction or avoidance of responsibility on environmental issues is a thing of the past. We see the Council taking a strong stance on the SEQ plan. We need to encourage both Councillors and the boating and fishing industry to see considering a Conservation Park as an opportunity, not a threat.

Local Councils and local people are an integral part of good environmental management.

While we might be concerned about layers of bureaucracy, the option of a Conservation Park offers residents (those most affected) a legitimate foundation to improve the Noosa River for all users.

You can support the Councillors to approve the Noosa River Catchment Plan and at very least ‘consider’ a Conservation Park as a solution for all residents by emailing them here: noosa.qld.gov.au/about-council/councillors-meetings/mayor-and-councillor Kathleen Swalling is a Strategic, Legal and Stakeholder Engagement Advisor specialising in Marine and Coastal Management issues

The draft Noosa River Catchment Plan presented to Council in September offers an opportunity for locals to have more of a say in River management by considering setting up a Conservation Park. I understand that the concept of a Conservation Park was said to be a surprise to certain stakeholder groups. The opportunity to consider a Conservation Park is a recent addition to the Noosa River Catchment Plan intended to give Council more of a say in management. Accordingly, through this article, I offer residents some understanding of what this could mean for Noosa.

As things stand, the authority of Noosa Council stops at the water’s edge and the Noosa River is managed by various government agencies, including the Department of Environment and Science, Maritime Safety Queensland and Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.

The Council may develop community goals for the river. However, effective outcomes rely on State agencies. Essentially, we rely on relationships that our current Councillors and Council staff develop with State colleagues without having any specific governance or legal arrangements to fall back on. As Councillors, Council Staff and State government changes these matters can be left inactive, halted, or change direction. Outcomes be-

Let’s look at parking reform

By Zero Emissions Noosa

Traffic congestion coming into Hastings Street.

revenues from parking don’t disappear into the general fund. And the revenues can be substantial. Byron Bay reported average revenues of $2.8 million per year for the first four years of the program.

Paid parking revenue should be spent in ways that are visibly beneficial and advance our local goals and values. Again this is easy to envision in Noosa. We could use the revenues to improve the free bus service, having it run more frequently and from more places. Those who don’t want to pay to park could jump on the free bus.

Not only would this help with parking de-

mand, it would reduce congestion, in two ways. First, fewer cars would be trying to reach Hastings Street. Second, many of the cars that are part of the congestion are just looking for parking. Parking studies have found that drivers cruising for parking make up a significant portion of congestion at popular destinations.

If they can find a spot faster, they’re no longer part of the traffic congestion.

Another use of the parking revenue could be additional protected pathways for biking and scootering, lanes that are separated from vehicle traffic. Protected lanes have been shown over and over to increase demand as a feeling of safety is key to driving uptake of

these modes of transport. If everyone supports these initiatives, riders and non-riders alike, everyone benefits. Each bike rider is one less car that drivers are competing with for space.

None of this is necessarily tied to climate, but the natural outcome of fewer cars is less emissions and less pollution. In fact, many emission-reducing strategies are logical solutions to existing problems. Think of it this way: Even if you don’t care about emissions, everyone hates traffic.

Parking in Noosa is a perennial problem, especially at peak times, but most solutions to address the parking problem focus on increasing the supply.

However, there’s a logical limit to how much space can be dedicated to car parking in a given area. Instead of trying to create more parking with limited space, what if we instead focused on the sustainable management of the existing parking supply? By taking this approach, we could reduce the dominance of cars, which in turn reduces congestion, emissions and pollution.

Perhaps the best strategy to manage Noosa’s parking supply is the most obvious, and probably the most contentious. When something is in high demand, and there is limited supply, the logical solution is to raise the price.

We could easily do this in Noosa, where the price is currently $0. Think of Noosa Woods.

Many people find it astounding that you can park your car on what is some of the most valuable land in the world for free, for as long as you want.

While some residents might say, “Why should I pay to park when I already pay rates?”, one answer is that if parking were paid, it would be easier to find. Visiting Byron Bay is a great example of this in action. Public parking in central Byron is now paid virtually everywhere, and you can almost always find a spot. Something else to consider is that many people who pay rates do not regularly park in these high-demand areas, and many who do are visitors to Noosa. Should ratepayers subsidise visitor parking?

A key part of this strategy is to ensure the

Grab the lead and get down to DogFest The ultimate day out for pooches and their paw-rents is coming to the Sunshine Coast.

DogFest, being held at Nambour Showgrounds 21 October, is set to be a canine wonderland; complete with food trucks, dog-friendly stallholders, live entertainment, training demonstrations and workshops. ’Social Marketing @ Griffith’ at Griffith University has partnered with Sunshine Coast Council and the Department of Environment and Science to host this unique family day out.

Sunshine Coast Council’s Response Services Education Officer Hannah Maloney said there would be plenty of fun and also an opportunity to improve the community’s knowledge about pet ownership.

“The training demonstrations and workshops will help owners create a safer and more harmonious coexistence between people and animals — that includes wildlife,” Ms Maloney said.

“Sadly, if our dogs don’t have the necessary wildlife avoidance training, they can kill or harm native animals such as koalas and possums, our protected bush turkeys or migratory and resident shorebirds.

“Our Coast is home to more than 700 native animals and we all have a responsibility to care for them.

“During DogFest, we will have numerous free interactive workshops to teach our dogs wildlife avoidance skills.

“The first of the skills in the ‘wildlife avoidance’ toolbox is having a solid recall. This will be useful around wildlife, and in everyday life.”

More dog training resources can be found on Leave It, another initiative of Social Marketing @ Griffith to support our native wildlife and dog owners in South East Queensland This innovative and informative doggy event is not to be missed by paw-rents. Entry is free. Reserve tickets in advance online.

When: October 21, 8am-1pm Where: Nambour Showgrounds What: Dog training demonstrations and workshops, family entertainment, best dressed dog competition, food trucks and stall holders Cost: FREE. Reserve your free ticket now online.

John at the J John Waters returns to The J Theatre this Saturday, 21 October, with his newest show.

A phenomenal walk-through nostalgia and an era of music that remains in the cellular memory of fans over several generations.

From the evocative strains of Peter Saarstedt’s Where Do You Go to My Lovely, and the memory dredging Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks and To Love Somebody by the BeeGees, to the infectious grooves of Itchycoo Park by the Small Faces and the anthemic My Generation by The Who, Waters and his band reprise and reinvent the classic hits. With a six-piece band and singers in brilliant voice, Waters recounts anecdotes and moving memories of the music of the era, taking the audience through the time continuum to songs that resound over decades, and remain as relevant as ever. Born in London, Waters was in his teens and early twenties during the 1960s and considers himself one of the luckiest music lovers as a result.

The reason why is in part due to Radio Luxembourg.

At a time when commercial radio licences were not available in the UK, pop and rock music of the day was broadcast from continental Europe.

This access was courtesy of the independent principality of Luxembourg - a clever move by the British record industry to circumnavigate the laws of the day.

Chance to see Aussie icons Get ready for a few intimate afternoons with Aussie icons over the next few months thanks to Sunshine Beach Surf Club’s latest event series.

Kate Ceberano will kick off the series on 29 October 2023, followed by Ella Hooper, Ross Wilson, GANGgajang and Uncanny Xmen.

This year saw Kate rack up 40 years and 30 albums into one of the most enduring and inspirational careers in Australian music.

Eleven platinum and 8 gold albums, 15 Top 40 singles, 3 Countdown awards, 4 ARIA awards from 19 nominations, but it’s over 8000 performances that her unassailable distinction was forged.

Ella Hooper will be following on 3 December 2023.

Ella was still a teenager when she burst onto the Australian music scene – Unearthed

by Triple J when she was just 13, Ella scored her first number one with the single ‘Mascara’ on her 17th birthday. And at 18, she became the first woman to be awarded APRA’s Songwriter of the Year.

After releasing three hit albums with Killing Heidi, Ella embarked on a solo career. Her forthcoming album, Small Town Temple – written in her hometown of Violet Town – has been hailed as a new beginning, showcasing Ella’s deeply personal songwriting.

Next up is Ross Wilson on 4 February 2024.

From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock and as a solo artist with no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his credit as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most awarded, respected and well-known artists!

From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose 1971 number one anthem Eagle Rock smashed all previous sales records in Australia, to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering 80s hits ‘Cool World’, ‘State of The Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’, and ‘Come Said The Boy’ and into the 21st century as a solo performer, producer and songwriter, Wilson has

The branches of the GANGgajang family tree do indeed span far and wide; and on 24 March 2024 they’ll be dropping in on Sunshine Beach.

True to their ‘GANG’ philosophy, this ‘informal body of friends’ has continued to work together for over 30 years, while also pursuing their myriad of separate interests: writing, recording and touring with other artists including the reformed original Angels line-up, a resurfaced Riptides, Yothu Yindi, Jimmy Little,

Proudly presenting a true classic Noosa Arts Theatre are very proud to present this highly anticipated production of a true Australian classic, opening in just two weeks’ time.

Beautifully crafted and unmissable, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is a pioneering Australian play written by Ray Lawler and unanimously considered to be amongst the most historically significant in Australian theatre history, openly and authentically portraying distinctly Australian life and characters.

The play is set in Australia, in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton and it details the events of the summer of 1953, in the lives of seven central characters.

This summer is different from others; it is full of tensions, strains to recreate lost youth and from what is said of previous years, not a fraction of the fun that others have been.

Lawler’s much-loved tale of Queensland cane cutters and Melbourne barmaids has endured the test of time, not through nostalgia, nor because it spawned a new age in Australia writing, but because the characters and their dilemmas are so true, so beautifully observed, so humorous and so poignant.

The stella cast includes; Alison Venning, Glen Miller, Oriana Packman, Tom Middleton, Alex Cox, Margaret Courtney and Tenai Quinn.

Directed by Ian Mackellar.

EVENT DETAILS: Summer of the Seventeenth Doll previews 2 November and runs from 3 November until 18 November.

Back in the 80’s there wasn’t a pop/rock radio station that didn’t play their smash charting hits ’50 Years’, ‘Everybody Wants To Work’ and ‘Party’. No. 3 ARIA charting album ‘Cos Life Hurts’ reached double platinum and ‘What You Give Is What You Get’ went Gold, cementing them on the pub rock scene.

Oriana here Acclaimed Sunshine Coast ensemble, Oriana Choir will launch the festive season with two concert presentations of Handel’s beloved masterpiece, Messiah.

Conducted by Andrew Wailes, the events will be held 2pm November 25 at the Goodlife Community Centre, Buderim and 3pm November 26 at City Hall, Brisbane.

Oriana patrons will remember Andrew Wailes from their acclaimed presentations of Mendelssohn’s Elijah and more recently, Mozart’s Requiem and Gjeilo’s Sunrise Mass. At home, Andrew is the Artistic Director of the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic, each year conducting their own iconic presentation of Messiah which has become an important part of Melbourne’s Christmas celebrations.

Performances of Handel’s Messiah will be taking place all around the world during the Christmas period and many people make an annual pilgrimage to see the work. Composed in just three weeks, Messiah has been delighting audiences for over 280 years. It is as mesmerising today as it was when, moved by the awe-inspiring ‘Hallelujah’ chorus, King George II stood to his feet and started a tradition that has continued to this day.

“Messiah is an incredibly exuberant, moving and powerful work,” said Oriana President, Melissa Innes. “We have been working very hard together to bring something joyful and fresh to this performance. We’re very excited to have Andrew at the helm, bringing his wealth of knowledge and experience.”

Joining Oriana this year are soprano Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke, contralto Anne Fulton, tenor Tobias Merz and bass Jason Barry-Smith and Oriana will be accompanied by Sinfonia of St Andrew’s, an accomplished Brisbane based orchestra which has collaborated with Oriana in recent years for several of their most acclaimed concert events including Haydn’s Creation and Mozart’s Requiem.

LIVE NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Historian Tony Matthews talks about his recent book, Cloaked in Bravery: A rescue mission like no other.

Cloaked in Bravery by Tony Matthews

Incredible woman warrior A new book by Queensland author and historian, Tony Matthews, Cloaked in Bravery — a Rescue Mission Like No Other, takes us on a true and compelling adventure into the lifestory of Mrs Christian Davies, one of the most remarkable women in military history who fought, disguised as a man, in two of Europe’s bloodiest wars.

Christian was probably in her early twenties when an aunt died, leaving her a tavern in Dublin. Soon afterwards she married one of her servants, a man named Richard Welsh.

However, Welsh was later induced to take a bowl of punch aboard a ship laden with recruits for the armies being formed in the Low Countries for the Nine Years War. He became intoxicated and was carried to Holland where he had little choice but to enlist in a regiment of foot.

Determined to find her missing husband, Christian Davies cut off her hair, dressed herself in her husband’s clothing, and, leaving behind her tavern and also her children, quickly enlisted as an ordinary foot-soldier under the name of Christopher Welsh.

After being shipped to Holland she was soon afterwards involved in the Battle of Lauden where she was wounded.

A young woman later fell in love with Christian, believing her to be a man, and Christian, in an endeavour to protect the woman’s honour, was forced to fight a duel with a dragoon, inflicting such a severe wound that it was initially thought the dragoon would die.

Christian was imprisoned over this event for a short period.

After being discharged from her regiment she engaged in a regiment of dragoons, which later became the famous Royal Scots Greys, being present at the 1695 Siege of Namur.

After the war, Christian returned to Ireland — unknown and unrecognised — so much had she changed during the years she had spent under arms. Christian visited her children but being too poor to pay for their expenses she decided not to reveal 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 October, 2023

herself to them.

When the War of the Spanish Succession broke out in 1701 Christian again enlisted in a final effort to find her lost husband. She rejoined her regiment and, over the following years, saw a great deal of action.

During the second bloody attack at Schellenberg in July 1704 she was shot in her hip with a musket-ball. The ball was never extracted.

After a period of convalescence she fought in the Battle of Blenheim and was later ordered to guard a batch of prisoners. At this time she accidentally came upon her husband whom she had not seen for years.

However, by this time, Richard, who believed that he would never again be allowed to return to England, had found another woman, a Dutch lady to whom he had promised marriage.

Christian forgave Richard and asked him not to reveal her identity; to say that she was his brother so that they could remain together.

All through the campaigns fought by the armies under the command of the English captain-general, John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough, Christian Davies continued to hide her true identity so that she could remain protectively at her husband’s side.

At Ramillies, in May 1706, she went through the thickest of the battle unharmed, but after the fight had ended a shell fell from a church steeple and exploded.

A piece of shrapnel struck Christian in the back of her head, fracturing her skull. She was trepanned and suffered terribly for ten weeks.

However, during the course of her operation her true gender was discovered and she was forced to admit to her remarkable subterfuge.

At the December 1708 Siege of Ghent Christian once again followed her husband during the thickest of the battles, as she did for many years afterwards. Sadly, Richard was killed during the ferocious battle of Malplaquet. When Christian heard the news she

went in search of Richard’s body.

She found a robber stripping Richard’s corpse and Christian fought him off. She then dug a grave and buried her husband’s remains. According to eyewitness accounts, she would have thrown herself into the grave had she not been prevented from doing so. Christian’s grief was so great that she tore flesh from her arms with her teeth.

Christian married twice more — once to another soldier who was also killed and on the third occasion to a soldier named Davies.

After returning to England Queen Anne presented Christian with £50 and a pension of a shilling a day for life.

Christian died on 7 July, 1739 and was buried in the grounds of Chelsea Hospital, a detachment of soldiers firing a volley over her grave.

Christian Davies was a woman who entered a harsh soldiers’ world and fought with courage and honour. She feared nothing and would frequently expose herself to extreme danger by going to the aid of wounded comrades. Had she lived in more modern times she would, almost certainly, have been awarded a Victoria Cross.

She was proud of her accomplishments and more especially proud of her strength and prodigious stamina which allowed her to live her life as the equal of any man during a time when both physical strength, and strength of character, were the fundamental cornerstones of self preservation.

Asked if it was difficult to research the life of a woman who has been dead for over 280 years author Tony Matthews told Noosa Today, “conducting this kind of personal research would have been almost impossible, but fortunately Christian wrote an account of her life which was published posthumously in 1740.

A doctor who worked as a field surgeon during those times also later wrote an account of Christian’s life which was published in 1742.

“These two publications provided much of the personal information for my book,“ he said.

Asked if the issues that took place almost 300 years ago have any relevance today, Tony believes they are just as relevant to what is happening in the world today.

“The wars that were taking place at that time, and I’m talking specifically about the Nine Years War and the War of the Spanish Succession, had many similarities to today, including the fact that both wars could have altered the future of Europe dramatically in much the same way that the Russian/Ukraine War was, and is, the fulcrum upon which the future of Europe could turn,“ he said.

“Wars have changed dramatically since that time but people have not. The seemingly insatiable lust for personal power was as prevalent then as it is today and we can always learn much from the past to guide us through the issues of our modern age.”

Tony spent decades writing his book on Christian Davies. What was it that captured his imagination?

“Well, I think it was the intense love she maintained for her husband that really captured my attention,“ he said.

“I was stunned and in awe of a woman who would literally give up everything, including her children and her business, to go off to find her husband who was stuck in the middle of two of the most dangerous and bloody wars ever fought on European soil. Christian was an awe-inspiring woman and she certainly inspired me to write this book.”

For those who love a true tale of free spirits, of courage and enterprise, then Christian Davies’ story is just such an adventure.

Men’s shed is blooming Good weather and a good turnout added to the success of Noosa Men’s Shed annual sale and open day last Saturday.

Visitors wandered the grounds of their Wallum Lane, Noosaville compound, dropping into their various sheds where activities including wood work, painting, leather work and restorations are conducted.

They marvelled at their extensive range of neatly ordered tools, viewed their impressive veggie garden and stopped in at the social centre to listen to the resident band, The Hip Replacements.

So impressed were some visitors they signed up on the day to be new members.

Having taken up art at the Men’s Shed only a few years earlier Martin Taylor displayed his travel-inspired paintings for both the annual sale day and as part of Noosa Open Studios Art Trail.

It went really well with good sales of handmade items and an enjoyable morning for all, Men’s Shed president Chris Blignaut said.

“More important was community engagement - getting the message out to the community to explain who we are and what we do,“ he said.

Gympie cricketer Troy Ashton clocked up his 300th game for the Gympie Gold XI last Saturday.

Ashton’s milestone

By Donna Jones Cricketer Troy Ashton has hit a major milestone in his career, one that no one before him has managed to achieve - playing 300 games for the Gympie Gold XI. On Saturday he pulled on the pads for his 300th game at Keith Manthey Oval in front of a home town crowd, against Coolum.

Over his 25 year career, starting in 1998, he played in the Gold’s third game as a 20-yearold, which was the team’s historic first win.

In that time he has scored 4587 runs and taken 476 wickets and played around 100 more games than the next closest player, Steve Brady.

Ashton said he was proud to be the first.

“It’s a bit of a privilege. If you’d told me when I debuted that I would play 300 games, I wouldn’t have believed you. It feels good though,“ he said.

Rolling up his sleeves and getting into it, was the reason he gave for his longevity in the sport “I’m always active, always outside doing things and I haven’t had any bad injuries to hinder my career,“ he said.

“I work outside in the sun all day so I might as well play cricket in the sun.“ There have been a few highlights over his 25 year career with the Gold.

“The grand final win in the two-day compe-

tition in 2016 was pretty sweet, it was a pretty memorable day,“ he said.

“Also a game against Glasshouse about 10 years ago - I hit two fours and a six off the last three balls of the game to win it for the boys.

“Also the team scoring 340 odd runs in a semi-final against Maroochydore to win through to the grand final was pretty memorable.“ Now he’s achieved the milestone, Ashton doesn’t have any immediate plans to hang up his helmet soon.

“One day, laughing, I always say this will be my last season but I keep coming back when called upon so who knows.

“I also want to play cricket with my son Flynn in A grade or reserve grade.

“Whenever that happens that will be pretty special for me,“ he said.

Ashton wanted to thank several people for their encouragement and their input, helping him to achieve this major milestone.

“The old stalwarts Bob and Shirley Blackburn, who were there from the beginning, also Ross Chapman, Max Walters and Craig Whittaker who helped get Gold off the ground and create a pathway for kids to go on and play higher level cricket.

“Previously they had to travel down to the Sunshine Coast to get that opportunity,“ he said.

Australia have beaten Samoa 38-12 to start their Pacific Cup campaign in style but one of the highlights of the Test was the debut by dazzling Samoa fullback Sua Faalogo.

The Kangaroos’ win was set up by powerhouse displays by props Payne Haas and Gympie product Tino Fa’asumaleaui, who dominated the opening quarter of Saturday night’s contest in Townsville.

“They were great,” Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga said.

In defeat, though, Samoa debutant Faalogo, who had played just the one - brilliant - NRL game for the Melbourne Storm, announced himself as one of the most exciting young players in the game.

His speed and dazzling footwork came to the fore but it was also his safety under several high balls that caught the eye in an accomplished display by the 20-year-old.

Faalogo had what would have been the try of the night disallowed when he chipped over James Tedesco’s head and regathered, but the Bunker took it off him due to a knock-on in the lead-up.

The Storm young gun also had a hand in creating Luciano Leilua’s second-half try.

Samoa captain Junior Paulo said Faalogo was “a real footballer”.

“You can certainly tell he is going to be a great footballer in the years to come and one of the superstars of our game,” he said.

The hosts set up the win in the opening 16 minutes when they raced out to a 22-0 lead.

Haas stamped his reputation as the world’s best prop with a typically blockbusting try where he carried Samoan for-

ward Connelly Lemuelu over the line with him to score the opener.

Captain Tedesco sliced through feeble Samoan defence from a scrum to make it 10-0 after 10 minutes.

Haas had set the benchmark and his fellow starting prop Fa’asuamaleaui followed suit to score and continue the carnage.

After another rampaging Haas charge, second-rower Cameron Murray scored in his fifth straight Test, to join Ron Coote (six in 1968-69) and Steve Menzies (five in 1995) as the only Australian forwards to do so.

The match needed a Samoan try desperately at that point and winger Murray Taulagi delivered after a deft dab of a kick by second-rower Leilua.

The visitors had their chances to get back into the match but Kangaroos centre Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, on Test debut, put an end to that when he raced 80 metres on the cusp of halftime for a 28-6 lead.

The Dolphins flyer added his second after the break but Samoa held their own for the final hour of the match until Kangaroos centre Kotoni Staggs scored on fulltime from a Daly Cherry-Evans kick.

“Hamiso and Kotoni were really good in the centres,” Meninga said.

“We saw Hammer in space with the footy and it’s ‘see you later’. He’s an excitement machine and good for our game. Kotoni had a great debut as well.”

Samoa will rue errors, a lethargic start to the game and lapses of concentration at the end of both halves but showcased enough quality for coach Ben Gardiner to believe an upset over New Zealand next week is possible.

Thunder’s winning record

By Randall Woodley The game of cricket has for years been known as the sport where statistics take pride of place. How many centuries did he score? What was the team’s best score? What was Warnie’s bowling average and so on. Last weekend the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club’s First Grade side achieved a statistic that will be hard to beat in the future. With their convincing win against Maroochydore at Read Park on Saturday they registered their 31st win in a row playing at their home ground. For years, Lang Park became the fortress for the Queensland Origin sides. Will Read Park continue to be this fortress for the Thunder boys? Only time will tell but already this season they have put together six wins (not all at home) and a rain interrupted draw.

Last weekend the club’s senior teams had a mixed weekend with a First-Grade win, two exciting draws and two losses.

FIRST GRADE: On day two of the match at Read Park, the Maroochydore Swans team completed their first innings on 126 runs.

Opening for the home side, Sam Baker and Ben Laughlin came out with their intentions clear. Sam (15) was busy at the crease and Ben (53) brutal in blasting eight 4’s and two 6’s to put together a stand of 60. Captain Michael Eckard came to the crease and played a superb chanceless innings and with Jarrod Officer they passed the Swans score before Officer fell for 27. Andrew Kratzmann and Ben Claypole had partnerships with Michael who was eventually out (LBW) for a heartbreaking 96 and gave everyone a glimpse of what is ahead for him this season.

Jett Taylor (38) and Cooper Lea (51) put Maroochydore to the sword with the home team eventually dismissed for 330 from 80 overs.

Thunder bowled six overs before stumps with Zac Murray taking a wicket and Ben Potter bowling three overs of leg spin for just 4 runs.

Solid win for the team. Next Saturday the outfit will travel to Caboolture to take on the Snakes in a two-day match.

SECOND GRADE: The team resumed their match against last year’s premiers, Palmwoods who were on 4 for 88 after a very rain effected day the previous Saturday.

Luke Smalley opened the day and bowled with good pace, picking up his first wicket for Seconds in his 4th over. Then Chris Berry kept the momentum going with a wicket in his first over. Palmwoods continued to score slowly against some really good full-length bowling.

Joshua Christensen picked up 3 wickets and

Finn Mayo sending down a leg-spin delivery for U17s. others were shared around. Overall it was a very good bowling performance on a slow wicket to restrict them to 158 off 87 painful overs.

Thunder needed to do two things- Bat for the full 49 remaining overs and if possible score 159 runs. Billy Lloyd-Green looked confident for a well compiled 16 and Oli Wilson was looking good until an unfortunate run out. However, the boys were still there after 49 overs at 9 for 56...Finn Mayo showed his metal in remaining not out at stumps defending 56 balls while last wicket Josh Christensen defied the bowlers for 18 balls.

When is a draw a Win? The young inexperienced Thunder team held the reigning Premiers to a draw which is a great result! Next Saturday the team is at home against Caboolture.

THIRD GRADE: The team went down in a tight match to Caloundra. One opinion was that Thunder played better cricket over the two days but fell on the wrong side of a coin toss and several umpiring decisions - which is how it goes in cricket. Defending their 177, Thunder bowlers toiled really well and their fielding was on point with no dropped catches and plenty of runs saved. Mike Thomson (2-53 off 16), Luke Anstey (3-46 off 18) Rich Lee (2-55)

and Farran Cooke (1-27) bowled to build pressure and the Lighthouses started to implode.

At 6-98 it appeared they were on the ropes.

Then they built a partnership off the back of their one remaining batter who nicked three times to the wicketkeeper with all appeals turned down. He went on to make 60 and bought them home with some good hitting from their tail.

Captain Nigel commented that he was really proud of the team’s attitude and if they keep building the pressure, the swings and roundabouts will come their way. Next week the team will be playing U.S.C. at Dale Officer Oval.

FOURTH GRADE: Day 2 started with Caloundra on 4-277. Thunder knew that their first job was to restrict the opposition to the lowest score possible. The Lighthouses put on a quick 60 odd, despite the Tewantin-Noosa team fielding well and taking some great catches.

They finished their innings on 7-338. Five Thunder bowlers shared the wickets.

Faced with a big total to chase, the mindset was to bat time and openers Ben Blackwell and Jeremy Holland set a solid foundation before Blackwell fell. Later, Aedan Mayo and Holland put together a great partnership, punishing anything loose. Holland eventually

FIFTH GRADE: The team went down to the University team, 172 runs to a disappointing 102.

UNDER 17S: The team headed into Day 2 with Cooroy Eumundi slowly building on their runs total from last week. Wickets to Cooper, Toby, Bailey and Brandon from some good bowling saw them finish their innings on 272, surpassing Thunder’s 1st innings total of 123. In Thunder’s unfinished second innings, Brandon Henderson scored a quick 21 and Bailey Hozier 20. Next week the team will travel down to Maroochydore to play the Swans.

UNDER 15S: The team (202) had a solid win over Cooroy-Eumundi (50 and 3-105).

UNDER 13S: The team were at home and had a great win against USC. They bowled out the visitors for 82 using ten bowlers. In response the Thunder team compiled 259 for the loss of only two wickets.

UNDER 11 Lightning: The team had their second win in a row defeating the Coolum Sharks 71 runs to 41. It was a great all-round performance from every player.

Lions and Wombats team up in Supa Oldies tournament It would normally be more of a feeding frenzy when the Noosa Lions come up against the Cooroora Wombats.

But over the weekend, the senior elders of both clubs donned the same jersey to take part in the largest Masters Football Tournament in the nation. Together with a smattering of players from the Thursday social indoor comp at the Leisure Centre the side took part in the Over 55s league of the Sunshine Coast Supa Oldies Tournament.

According to Team Manager and Noosa Lions President, Brian Stockwell with the oldest age group in the regular season being over 35s the tournament gives you the opportunity to play with a more age-appropriate cohort. “Not that age has taken much of a toll on some of the opposition we came up against” he said.

“It’s also a good opportunity for a couple of us who are referees to get out on the pitch without a whistle in the hand.”

After earlier coming up against the eventual champions from the Gold Coast at a time when only mad dogs and Englishmen (and there were a few of them) should be out, the team recovered to have its best result in their last game on Sunday evening.

“With both the temperature and the opposition much more to our liking we came away with a draw and were unlucky not to claim victory in the dying stages of the match. But Masters tournaments are all about participating for the fun of it and we certainly enjoyed ourselves.”

Noosa over 55s.

Youth coaching available Kayaking With the increasing number of youths in our community now turning to sport, it is good to see the high standard of coaching that is now available: and in particular sports that in many instances are not so well known and promoted. Take for example the sport of kayaking.

Despite being an Olympic and highly regarded international sport, we seem to hear very little of it in Australia.

However, in our community this is not the case. Here in our own backyard, we have for the sport of kayaking, a program coordinator and Queensland Academy of Sport(QAS) coach, Sharlene Kelly. Sharlene, herself a former Australian team member for an international tour of Europe said, “The popularity for the sport of Sprint Kayaking is gradually increasing in the Noosa area and we are building a great squad of junior paddlers. With Brisbane 2032 Olympics (less than 9 years away) the junior athletics in the Noosa squad now will very possibly be our Brisbane 2032 Olympians.”

The new cohort for the QAS You For 2032 talent identification program, is well under way. Seven athletics were selected to take part in the 3-month trial phase for Sprint Kayaking which is the largest number for athletes for the area since the program started. The first event for the season is the QLD Sprint Kayak Titles to be held on 9-11 November at Coomera Lake Gold Coast.

Coach Kelly is very thankful for the support from the local community in adding to the program’s success with the recent offer to share the Noosa Coastal Rowing facility, supported by Noosa Council’s Sport and Active Lifestyle.

Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach Lifesaving Surf Lifesaving clubs, have also shown their support for the program with 8 out of the 10 athletes in the squad being members of either club.

“Surf Life Saving and Sprint Kayaking have always had a close connection. Of the past and present Australian Olympic Sprint Kayakers 95 per cent also compete in Surf Life Saving, Surf Sports,” said Sharlene.

Noosa Athletics Last weekend seven squad members from Noosa Athletics competed at the Queensland Representative School Sports Track and Field State Titles in Brisbane. The atmosphere was great as Noosa athletes showcased their dedication and determination in sprinting, hurdles, long jump, relays and race walk.

Head Coach Mick Hooper said, “The four days which featured a variety of track and field disciplines provided a platform to shine and demonstrate their hard work and training.

The support from the Qld school community was palpable as teachers’ friends and family cheered on the dedicated athletes from across the State. The event served not only a testament to the athlete’s hard work but also highlighted the strong sense of community and camaraderie that exists within the Noosa club.”

Among the standout performances was Taya Clayton who won bronze in the 100m sprint and gold in the 80m hurdles. Taya also achieved a personal best time of 12.54 in the hurdles and set a new Qld School record in the process, whilst breaking the seven- year record. Marion Andrews won silver in the 200 and set two personal best times in the 100m and 200m. In doing so, he qualified for the Australian Championships in Adelaide next April.

Eli Melinz showcased his incredible endurance in the 3000m race walk, bringing home a silver medal and Mailee Scott Jones ran the first leg of the 4x100m relay clinching a welldeserved silver medal for her efforts. As the sun went down on the track and field competition, the Noosa athlete left with a sense of pride and accomplishment. With their remarkable performance they set the bar high for future competitions and continue to serve as an inspiration to aspiring athletes in the region.

Surf Lifesaving Cohort 5 of the SLSA Women’s Mentor Program 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 October, 2023

Taya Clayton won bronze in the 100m sprint and gold in the 80m hurdles in state titles last weekend. is in the final stages of selection. Every year 20 mentees are partnered with a mentor from Surf Life Saving Clubs from all over Australia. The aim of the program is to encourage and upskill Women in Surf lifesaving so as to be educated and confident to apply for management roles within their club. Teaching management skills is also of the utmost importance.

Surf Lifesaving Australia realise that women are hesitant to take on management positions within their club for a wide variety of reasons.

Therefore, they are working to encourage Surf lifesaving at State, Branch and Club level to increase participation. Sunshine Coast Branch recently held a coach development session to encourage coaching participation and accreditation for all their clubs on the Sunshine Coast.

Noosa Heads coach Sharlene Kelly and Sunshine Beach head coach Wes Berg both presented at the session. ‘’Upskilling surf club members to become coaches has a real positive effect for the future of our surf clubs. Our junior athletes benefit from greater coach education and the club’s benefit from having more qualified coaches to rely on,” said Sharlene Kelly.

The idea of having advanced training coaching courses for women can only serve to benefit the clubs: not only in sport but also in our core business of lifesaving. If it is good enough for young women in surf clubs, to stand on the hot summer sands doing patrols or the pouring rains of the cyclonic season, then surely it should follow, that if they chose to become instructors, they learn how to pass on their experience gained as lifesavers.

The same can be said for the coaches in the world of sport. Having participated, won or lost they must be taught how to pass on their knowledge and experience to the young.

There can be no greater learning curb than the voice of experience.

But also, there can be nothing sadder than to see a young experienced woman walk away with all that knowledge and experience, simply because she is shy and lacks the confidence to teach.

It is a big well done to Lana Rogers on winning the Coolangatta Gold Marathon. This de-

While a member of Noosa she was popular with the old boys as she would take the time to stop and have a chat: followed by a million dollar- smile and a wave. We wish her every success in the seasons ahead. Also, a big well done to Noosa’s Carla Papac who finished in 5th place. Carla, last year’s winner, has shown that she is definitely amongst the elite.

Next week we have a good look at Noosa’s all over performance over the two days, the Saturday and Sunday: covering all age groups.

Definitely, a fantastic effort and remember, for some it was their first ever Gold. Well done to all and a big thank you to the coaching panel.

This Saturday the Noosa Surf club will play host to their first boat carnival of the year. Known as the Navy Youth and Masters

Round 1 Noosa will be well represented: if last year is any indication there will be anything from 25-30 crews competing from all up the Queensland coast. From Noosa all indications are that they will have two U19 boys crews and two U19 girls. Add to this, an U23 boys and a masters crew.

Affectionately known as the Condors, the masters have been rowing for several years and their support for the younger crews is good to see. Also Saturday will see the first carnival race of the new Netanya Noosa Surf Boat: and we wish the Netanya and all who row in her all the very best. Also, club boat sweep Stu Cooper extends a warm invitation to Noosa Old Boys to attend the carnival. “We know they have done a lot for the club so we would like to meet and say hello.”

The Smales brothers at A-Bay.

Day of bravery at A-Bay Good fortune shone on three nude swimmers at Alexandria Bay last week in the form of a visiting Argentinian lifeguard named Micaela Guacci (known as “Mica”), those ubiquitous surfing Smales brothers, Kaiden and Landen, and Noosa Heads lifeguard Tim Mulder.

Hey, it was a beautiful, sunny spring day at A-Bay, so who wouldn’t you whip the clobber off and plunge in, despite the heavy swell and treacherous rips that were keeping other swimmers on the beach? A bit like the male models throwing lighted matches in the air as they chased each other around the petrol bowsers in Zoolander, fun at the time but it was always going to end in tears.

Fortunately holidaying lifeguard Mica, 31, was one who decided to stay out of the waves, opting to soak up the sun with friend Melania Morales. Melania took up the story on social media: “Mica, who was observing the sea, spotted two people in distress. Soon, more people noticed the emergency and called for help, but she was the only one who could enter the water. She turned to me and said, ‘I’m going in; go find some surfers.’ ( We couldn’t see any on the beach.) I was paralyzed by fear, watching my friend risk her life in that situation, but I rushed to find surfers. Meanwhile, Mica had reached the two drowning people.

One of them had some swimming ability, but the other was in a state of absolute panic. Mica got closer to the frightened person, attempting to calm her down as much as possible and helping her stay afloat. They were in the water, struggling for more than 15 minutes. During this time, they lost sight of the other person in the waves.”

Melania found champion local surfers Kaiden and Landen Smales surfing at the northern end of the beach and signaled urgently to them. As soon as she got her story out they were off, running down the beach and then launching into what Kaiden described as one of the most intense rips he had ever seen at ABay. Soon they were holding the naked swimmers above the waterline while an exhausted Mica made her way to the beach.

Lifeguard Tim Mulder had been alerted and arrived on a jet ski soon after to ferry the exhausted nudists back to the surf club. Surf Lifesaving Queensland regional manager Aaron Purchase said later lifeguards were called after an emergency beacon was activated. A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said three swimmers were taken to Nambour Hospital from the beach, all in stable conditions.

A happy ending thanks to the bravery and fast thinking of Mica, Kaiden and Landen. But the message is clear: A-Bay is unpatrolled and often dangerous. Give the gonads an airing by all means if you must, but don’t go in the water unless you know what you’re doing.

While no Australian women made the final eight to contest the championships, Noosabased Hawaiian Mason Schremmer gave us plenty to be proud of, leapfrogging competitors with a classy display to move from eighth to fifth in the world in 2023.

In the men’s, Australia’s Declan Wyton was the only finalist, finishing sixth, after Noosa’s 2022 world champion Harrison Roach decided against a title defence.

Foggy Malibu.

Old dog out of the fog at ‘Bu Heavy fog disrupted the start of the WSL Longboard world finals day at Malibu, but it wasn’t going to stop veteran Hawaiian stylist and shaper Kai Sallas from taking his first world title at age 42.

Soleil Errico performs for the home crowd.

Picture: WSL In the women’s title battle, Californian Soleil Errico claimed back to back world titles at her home break of Malibu after overcoming Hawaii’s Kelis Kaleopa’a in straight sets. Having won her first world title in Taiwan in 2018, Errico joined the elite group of three-times world champions, which includes Honolua Blomfield, Joel Tudor, Taylor Jensen and Cori Schumacher.

Missed opportunity.

Kai Sallas cruising to a title.

Picture: WSL

Kai, who has always been a threat in waves of consequence, took his precision act into the tiny sets at Malibu’s First Point once the marine layer had cleared and won a hard-fought three-set final from Kaniela Stewart who is not only half his age, but also Kai’s beach-mate and protege. Ratings leader Kani, who is always a stand-out in Noosa, was a firm favourite to win the title, but despite a strong start, he couldn’t find the power that Kai seemed to extract from every turn.

He told WSL: “I’ve been doing this for so long, and all I can say is, finally! I’ve been trying for over 20 years, and to add my name to that list of Hawaiian world champions is a dream come true. I’m very proud.”

Sorry I woke up with a hangover last Sunday, but it was a hangover of the spirit rather than one induced by spirits.

First Nations leaders have called for a week of silence so I’ll respect that here and not go into the what-might-have-beens and whereto-nows, but I can’t help but feel the gutwrenching pain of missing an opportunity that won’t come again in my lifetime.

I’ve been so fortunate to have experienced life on country with many mobs, and to have met (and become friends with several) ordinary blackfellas as well as the best and the brightest, from the late Charlie Perkins, who came to our house for supper when I was a child in the early ‘60s, to the late John Newfong at the tent embassy in the ‘70s, to the late Galarrwuy Yunupingu, David Gulpilil, Big Bill Neidjie, George Rrurrambu and Aunty Viv Harlow in the ‘80s, Evonne Goolagong Cawley in the ‘90s and Noel Pearson in more recent times.

Known and unknown, they’ve all left an indelible imprint on my psyche, and all I can think to say now is, sorry.

PUTTING SOME HEAT INTO THE MARKET PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY WHEN it comes to hot properties, demand currently outstrips supply, especially with many slated for auction being snapped up soon after the marketing program has commenced.

In the past two weeks 10 of the 14 properties marketed by auction in Noosa Today Property have either sold prior or on auction day. We are still waiting on a couple of results from this weekend.

They are heady results.

Success stories of late from Tom Offermann Real Estate have included the Jesse Stowers’ listing of 14 The Hastings at 30 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, a freestanding three-level, two-bedroom beach house, which evokes a beachy-cool holiday aesthetic.

Properties of this type and with such presence, are one-of-a-kind on Hastings Street, so it naturally attracted excellent inquiry. However, it was one judicious investor who recognised the opportunity and presented a knock-out offer pre auction. It was a record for the complex.

QUEENSLANDERS IN DEMAND Classic Queenslander residences are much-loved and highly valued, especially when contemporary iterations pay homage to the romantic architectural style whilst taking beauty to next level chicness. They also attract much attention, and such was the case at the Michael McComas and Rebekah Offermann-listed four-bedder at 2 Joyce St, Tewantin.

It was a busy campaign for the brilliant white, totally revitalised house of joy, resulting in multiple offers prior to the auction.

Those who love the Queenslander style should look out for Michael and Rebekah’s listing of 33 Ward St, also in Tewantin.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 90 Outlook Dve, Tewantin, goes to auction at 3pm Saturday, 21 October.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 2 Joyce St, Tewantin, sold prior to auction.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car apartment with pool at 4/18 Peregian Esp, Peregian Beach, goes to auction Saturday, 28 October, at 11am.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, five-car river house with pool at 177 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, is set for auction at 12pm Saturday, 21 October. 366469

Gracious and intelligently designed, the sure-footed revitalisation of Margaritaville, a handsome 1920’s Queenslander, sensitively and lovingly decorated with five bedrooms, has been honed and toned without shedding its beautiful heritage charm.

Whether lounging poolside, kicking back by the breezy bar with a frozen concoction in hand, or firing up the barbecue and pizza oven, Margaritaville’s tropical oasis with a twist, is your passport to paradise.

HIDDEN GEM ON RIVER A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, five-car river house with pool at Noosaville is truly a hidden gem, according to Rebekah Offermann.

Rebekah and Michael McComas are taking the property at 177 Gympie Tce to auction Saturday, 21 October, at 12pm.

“Not many people even realise that such a large and glamorous house exists in that position,’’ Rebekah said.

“Other than the oversized and inviting living spaces and main bedroom suite, the real beauty here is that it is just steps to

so many restaurants, cafes, shops and the river foreshore.

“You could make your cup of tea and wander over to sit on a park bench and take in the river activity.’’

Interest for the property is largely local and also Brisbane.

Striking from the street, it incorporates timeless and elegant design cues with lofty ceilings, endless American oak floors, wispy linen sheers and a designer shelltiered chandelier.

Banks of glass doors including two sides of the dining area seemingly disappear, spilling to the over-sized terrace.

With wide, unimpeded northerly views of the Noosa River and park, with boat hire places and the famous Big Pelican, the sun-drenched pool is highlighted by terrazzo surround and water spouts.

A custom-built kitchen features stonetopped white cabinetry including long island/breakfast bar, a multitude of storage options and the very latest AEF appliances including integrated fridge and a freezer.

Along the hallway are two carpeted

queen-size bedrooms, a beautiful bathroom with French grey tiles and a bathtub, laundry with powder room, plus additional storage.

Take the stairway with polished timber treads and glass sides to the second level, with open-plan leisure or perhaps study space.

In the northern wing is a clerestoryheight, coffered ceiling and glass panes to attract natural light. The king-size main bedroom suite has a fashionista-style dressing room, ensuite bathroom with French grey wall tiles, white stone topped, wall-width two-basin timber cabinetry and mirrored upper cabinets.

Open the doors to the terrace and catch the breeze as well as the Noosa River at sunset.

On the ground level is a studio with custom cabinetry and a powder room.

PRIVATE OASIS Chrissie Baker at Laguna Real Estate has what she describes as “a fabulous property’’ going to auction at Tewantin on Saturday, 21 October, at 3pm.

Friday, 20 October, 2023

noosatoday.com.au

70 years, the property is securely fenced and has permanent water thanks to two spring-fed creeks.

The in-rooms auction is at 10am, in rooms, at 111 Eagle Street, Brisbane.

Most interest is lifestyle, Vicki said. It’s a big chance for people wanting to be selfsufficient.

A 20.781ha grazing property with two creeks at Eerwah Vale goes to auction in rooms at 111 Eagle Street, Brisbane, at 11am Friday, 27 October. 366469 The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool is at 90 Outlook Dve and offers a private oasis on a single level.

There has been a huge amount of improvements, Chrissie said, with new hybrid timber flooring, high quality carpet, a double garage serving as a media room as well as double carports. There is a new airconditioning system, updated kitchen and laundry, fresh landscaping and eco-saving pool pump.

With 13m covered outdoor area, it is ideal for a downsizer or empty-nester looking for one-level living, Chrissie said.

Interest at open homes has been from interstate and country Queensland.

It is offered in virtually turn-key presentation with open-plan kitchen, dining and living leading to an in-ground, solarheated pool with waterfall.

Stacker and bi-fold doors offer ideal indoor/outdoor living while the kitchen features a gas hotplate, wall oven and good storage.

IMMACULATE BEACHSIDE APARTMENT It’s such a beautiful apartment immaculate in every way.

Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate is highly impressed by the threebedroom, two-bathroom townhouse apartment with its own pool in a complex of five at Peregian Beach.

Set down for auction at 11am on Saturday, 28 October, 4/18 Peregian Esplanade has never been holiday let, Tracy said.

It has only been used by the owners as a retreat.

“Private, sheltered and secure, it has the perfect north-east aspect,’’ Tracy said.

“Designed by Stephen Kidd, this is the only one in the complex of five with its own pool. “there are white-water views from the Noosa National Park, and south along the coastline beyond Mooloolaba to Point Arkwright.

“You can watch the whales from here.’’

With low body corporate fees and excellent storage, it is the perfect downsizer, Tracy said.

A holiday inventory will be offered.

Inspections so far have been from Brisbane, especially as the holiday lock-up home, locals downsizing, and Melbourne interest looking at holidays.

LIFESTYLE PROPERTY NEAR EUMUNDI Vicki Pain and Sacha Laing of Ray White Rural Eumundi have a 20.781ha grazing property at Eerwah Vale they are taking to auction on Friday, 27 October.

“It’s a stunning block,’’ Vicki said, “undulating, with good soil and water.

“The location being so close to Eumundi is a great attraction.

“You capture views of Cooroy Mountain and Mount Eerwah from here.’’

Eumundi is always in demand and there is great potential at this property, Vicki said.

At present it runs about 20 head of cattle.

ON THE COVER

QUEENSLANDER WITH TROPICAL OASIS TWIST GRACIOUS and intelligently designed, the sure-footed revitalisation of Margaritaville, a handsome 1920’s Queenslander, sensitively and lovingly decorated, has been honed and toned without shedding its beautiful heritage charm.

Alfresco meanwhile, invites you to set your watch on island time with an illuminating move into a brighter, more inclusive way of living the good life outdoors. Whether lounging poolside, kicking back by the breezy bar with a frozen concoction in hand, or firing up the barbeque and pizza oven, Margaritaville’s tropical oasis with a twist, is your passport to paradise.

Commanding the most spectacular presence, the residence embraces the natural surrounds, has a plum corner position in a much-coveted street, and is a mere 40-foorsteps to a nature reserve and Noosa River foreshore.

Easy to see why classic Queenslanders are much-loved and highly valued, especially with contemporary iterations paying homage to the romantic architectural style. Picture key characteristics such as a high-set, white weatherboard corrugated roof construction, white picket fence, signature verandas, gatehouse-style front entry, towering palms, cottage gardens and lush lawns.

Come inside. This is a cracker of a residence, packed with vivacious personality. Admire polished rich blackbutt floors throughout, lofty VJ ceilings, VJ panelling from floor to the dado rail, decorative fretwork, also decadent casement windows with green and white translucent panes.

The seriously generous living areas with ceiling cornices and roses are beautifully furnished with creamy linen sofas, and a nine-arm hand blown glass chandelier hangs over the timber dining table with rattan chairs.

Push aside the tall silky oak glasspaned French doors which run the width of the living areas, blurring the lines to the covered verandas which, in a sensational albeit classic fashion, stretch northward and ooze vitality with captivating views that drink in the riverscape.

The kitchen, a showpiece, adds to the residence’s new found identity with a decorative flourish whilst serving up a smorgasbord of the latest high-end appliances also materials, from Coriantopped cabinetry including island/breakfast

bar, servery to the verandah, polished nickel tapware, while clutter is banished to the butler’s pantry with wine fridge and walls of storage.

Also on the entry level are two bedrooms with bay windows and seating, French linen sheers and ensuites with replica period floor tiles. The king premier suite has custom cabinetry, a super-sized ensuite with two English-style pedestal basins, mirrored cabinetry, two shower heads in the walk-in double shower plus a claw footed oval bathtub. The queen suite has an ensuite with a single pedestal basin.

A bedroom on the south side is currently used as a study. Next door is a powder room.

Downstairs has been cleverly reconfigured to invite connection with the undercover terrace, lawn and dazzling pool area, which is also accessed from the living area of a two-bedroom apartment-style accommodation. The laundry with a drying court is next door and behind on the west side is a massive workshop/storage area.

Indisputable generosity on tap “as endless as the ocean, as timeless as the tides” is a quote on the chalkboard of the professionally-equipped bar. It succinctly describes Margaritaville, especially its innumerable options for entertaining, having fun with family and friends, whatever the reason or season.

And there’s more. The future owner need only bring sunglasses, toothbrush and a suitcase. Everything else has been taken care of, from chic furniture and artworks to towels by the pool.

“Margaritaville celebrates the graciousness of a classic Queenslander,” enthuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Michael McComas and Rebekah Offermann, who have slated the property for auction on Saturday 11 November 2023, adding “as well as breaking down its formality for modern living and packing a punch when it comes to entertaining.

“This superb residence in a quiet sought-after street just keeps on giving and its location cannot be understated. Take a short walk to the end of the cul-de-sac, and via the tranquil Ward Park memorial path to vibrant Tewantin Village with trendy cafes and nearby Marina. It is one-of-a kind and hard to beat.”

HOME FOCUS

THE ESSENCE OF NOOSA STYLE, ELANDRA A profound statement in uncompromised luxury, this genuinely magnificent, housesized apartment epitomises discerning contemporary opulence. From its highly coveted Noosa Heads location, the broad entertaining terrace embraces a northerly panorama, across the sparkling waterways of Noosa Sound, to the distant North Shore; a truly extraordinary piece of paradise, positioned within easy walking distance to cosmopolitan Hastings Street and to the golden sands of Noosa Main Beach.

First impressions count and the unsurpassed elegance of this home, most certainly, does not disappoint. From the entrance foyer, sublime music permeates an ambience of peace and contentment, discrete pastel hues and lashings of sheen impress throughout lofty VJ-ceilinged, marble tiled, prodigious living and dining spaces which, through disappearing stacker doors, seamlessly amalgamate with the terrace and natural environment beyond.

Tastefully neutral palette, with defining monochromatic accents, harmonises perfectly with premium bespoke cabinetry and fine architectural features, as an adjacent media room provides an inviting hub for quiet evenings at home.

Central to entertaining and lifestyle, the designer kitchen provides every accoutrement required by a passionate gourmet; a masterpiece in contemporary presentation, with creamy white, stonetopped benches, an oversized island/ breakfast bar and high-end appliances, its rare scullery offering an abundance of storage.

A home with infinite connection between

indoor and outdoor living, high ceilings extend to its oversized, marble-tiled entertaining terrace, where modern ceiling fans, a bubbling spa and an integrated outdoor kitchen with barbeque and wok burner, provide every comfort for relaxed scenic entertaining; the perfect setting for long lunches, romantic dinners or peaceful beverages, as the sun sinks gracefully, behind the natural beauty of the North Shore.

Three substantial bedrooms include a stately master with a private dressing room, its elegant, marble-tiled ensuite presenting dual showers and vanities, separate w/c, bidet and stunning cabinetry.

In the south wing, both bedrooms two and three boast individual walk-in robes and ensuites, while a separate powder room caters for casual guests. A large office impresses with custom-built desks and a built-in library; all three rooms open

to a covered terrace, running the entire length of the apartment and looking over to the swimming pool and meticulously maintained gardens.

“There are numerous smart inclusions to ensure privacy and security at all times,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Melanie Primmer, who has slated the apartment for auction on Saturday 21 October 2023. “Secure garaging for two side by side cars, plus a lock-up store, are below-ground, with shelved storage.

Lift access arrives direct to the apartment level, whilst the audio/visual intercom and gated vehicle entry assure security and peace of mind.”

“An air-conditioned on-site gymnasium is fitted with all the latest equipment, the swimming pool is heated as well as the spa. A residents’ pavilion affords an additional outdoor kitchen and barbeque, perfect for relaxed poolside dining, with family and friends.”

“The location, in the bustling heart of Noosa Heads is perfect. A stroll to Noosa Junction, with its vibrant restaurant, cafe and bar scene; and walk to Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park and a convenient jetty.”

“Forget the car and book a water taxi from our jetty to a favoured restaurant, or other attractions on the river or Hastings Street.”

Apartment 9/6 Serenity Close promises comfort, presentation and lifestyle, to delight the most discerning. It sets a whole new benchmark in premium luxury living, surrounded by everything that Noosa has to offer; an absolute “must” to inspect. ●
