Identity at risk

By Margie Maccoll The unique architecture of the Sunshine Coast was celebrated over the past two months with the Sunshine Coast Open House 2023 event but as it wound up last weekend, preeminent architect Dr Noel Robinson warned the region was in danger of losing its identity.

The Sunshine Coast is recognised at a level unprecedented in regional Australia for its dis-

tinct architectural heritage, style and experience, known as the Sunshine Coast School of Architecture.

The Open House event, one of 50 held in cities worldwide to celebrate architecture, was officially opened on 5 September by the Queensland Governor Dr Jeannette Young and this year welcomed Noosa Council on board.

The event was punctuated by a series of

talks, tours and workshops.

Such was the interest in viewing 25 extraordinary local buildings and meeting their architects, some open houses were booked out within four hours of posting with waiting lists of 400-500 people, said Sunshine Coast Council Urban Design and Architecture team lead Sarah Chalkley, who hosted an Open House Forum bringing together some of the regions

celebrated architects to reflect on it’s architecture.

Chair of Sunshine Coast Open House Professor Lyndsay Clare told a packed audience at the forum, the first event held at Altitude Nine on the ninth floor of Sunshine Coast City Hall, they had a collective responsibility to continue as good stewards of the land.

The Trees for Tourism biannual tree planting event took place last week with 500 trees planted on the newly upgraded Noosa Biosphere Trail from Cooran to Pomona.

More than 50 volunteers participated in the planting including event organisers from Noosa Ultra Trail and the Ironman team, who deliver the Noosa Tri and Runaway Noosa Marathon, as well as students from the Cooran State School, the Cooran Cutters Club, Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co. Noosa Councillors Joe Jurisevic and Tom Wegener, Noosa Landcare’s Skilling Queenslanders for Work Crew and the Tourism Noosa team including Board Director Leigh McCready.

The Trees for Tourism program is a partnership between Tourism Noosa and Noosa and District Landcare and supports tree planting throughout the Noosa region for land rehabilitation, carbon emission reduction, shade trees for walkers on the Noosa Biosphere Trails, and the protection and enhancement of koala and other native wildlife habitat.

Tourism events in the Noosa region sponsored by Tourism Noosa also donate to the program, as well as tourism members and visitors to the region. While the Trees for Tourism program is not an official carbon-offset program, it is estimated that one tree planted on average will sequester 124kg of CO2 over its lifetime.

To put into context, an average car produces approximately 180kg of CO2 per 100km. To date the program has raised $57,498 with 6459 trees planted in the Noosa region and over 800 tonnes of carbon sequestered.

The tree planting last week will sequester a further 62 tonne of carbon from the at-

Tourism Noosa CEO Sharon Raguse said, “Improving the tourism industry’s environmental and sustainable outcomes has long been a priority for Tourism Noosa and Trees for Tourism is really a way to showcase travel for good and how visitors to our region can give back to the region.”

All trees planted are native to Noosa and success stories to date have included Trees for Tourism trees planted along Black Pinch Lookout and Twin Hills Lookout at Cootharaba in 2019 which prevented the land from completely slipping away in the 2022 floods.

The biggest Olympic-distance triathlon in the world, the iconic Noosa Tri returns next week, celebrating its 40th year in the region.

I expect there’ll be plenty of grumblings about the traffic, the inconvenience of street closures, the inability to gain access to Main Beach, Hastings Street Noosa Parade and other areas affected by the event.

That may be the case, but there is much the Noosa Tri brings to the region to celebrate.

Each year people travel across the country and even across the world to take part in the Noosa Tri and in so doing visit the shire, and hopefully take home some happy memories.

Some people have trained for months and even years to compete in the Noosa Tri and everyone who enters has a reason for doing so. Some are elite athletes, some are fulfilling a personal goal, some are overcoming illness, some arrive as part of a team, some are supporting friends and family.

It’s exciting and inspirational to see the races and speak to people competing.

The festival starts on Wednesday 1 November and ends on Sunday. There are signs indicating street closures coming up for particular events.

We wish them a successful event.

And if you’re looking for entertainment of a different type, have a look at Noosa Arts Theatre’s latest production, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, which begins on 2 November.

Calls to extend pool access

By Abbey Cannan A real estate worker from Peregian Springs who lives with MS has been gaining support for her petition over pool access in the community.

Renee English uses the pool due to its shallow access, but changes to the pool’s access have affected many like her who relied on the facility.

Over 500 people are already supporting Renee’s call for fair access to the recreation club’s pool facility, amid rumours St Andrew’s Anglican College is converting the pool land “into a church, and the decline in the pool’s condition“.

The Rec Centre sale was achieved following a competitive expressions of interest campaign, after the Ridges Body Corporate voted against the transfer of the Rec Centre at the latter part of last year.

As part of the sale, St Andrew’s committed to opening the facility to the broader community to ensure it will once again become a hive of activity, welcoming locals back to their much-loved community hub.

“We hold profound concerns about the possible exclusion of future community pool access by St Andrew’s Anglican College at the Peregian Springs Recreation Club,“ the petition states.

“Their current commitment allows for only a two-year period of community access. We are worried that the cited low pool usage may be used as a justification for these restrictions, while in reality, it is primarily due to limited access and high costs.“ Renee said her motivation behind initiating the petition process for the Rec Club came from a genuine concern for her community.

“It deeply saddens me to witness the pool sitting idle under a cover, especially when so many local residents, particularly young families in our area, are impacted by the loss of access,“ she said.

“The response of receiving 500 signatures did take me by surprise in terms of the rapid support it garnered. However, it reaffirmed my belief that the sentiments of the community are strongly aligned with my own. Often,

A spokesperson for St Andrew’s Anglican College said the fees and opening of the Rec Club have been determined by the feasibility of staffing and keeping the facility open for the stipulated two year period.

age the school to heed the unified voice of the community.

“Rather than solely focusing on financial gains, I hope they will adopt a more community-oriented approach, aligning with the principles of our Christian ethos,“ she said.

“The desired outcome is an extension of access hours and a shift from lap swimming only to inclusive recreational activities that cater to our community’s needs, making the membership fee more affordable for families.“ To view the petition visit change.org/PeregianSpringsRecClub

“To alter this would come at a cost to the College and our fee-paying parents. While open to the community, the facility is now private property, purchased in a public sale and owned by the College,“ a spokesperson said.

“Since 2003, we have been committed to developing a school of the highest quality, with the aim of educating and building personal capacity into young people, so they can find purpose and move confidently into their futures.

Ultimately, the acquirement of this facility is part of our strategic planning to ensure this can continue into the future.“ From this petition, Renee aims to encour-

Sign shames tree cutters as revegetation set to begin Council has installed a large sign at the site of illegal tree clearing at Peregian Beach to send a clear message that environmental vandalism won’t be tolerated.

Installation of the sign comes as revegetation of the 300sqm area is about to begin and contractors prepare to fence off the area to prevent access, while new plantings are established.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the 1.5 metre by 2.5 metre sign sends a clear message that Council takes illegal clearing very seriously.

Council’s Development and Regulation Director Richard MacGillivray said delicate coastal foreshore had been cleared.

“The vegetation plays an important role supporting biodiversity and protecting our coastal communities from erosion so we’re more resilient in the face of increasingly severe weather events.

“We hope the sign will encourage anyone with information about any environmental destruction to come forward, as well as discourage anyone else from interfering with vegetation for views, access, or other reasons,” Mr MacGillivray said.

“We will certainly consider installing these signs in the case of other illegal tree clearing.”

Mr MacGillivray said Council relied on the community to be its eyes and ears and report illegal clearing and interference with vegetation on public land.

“We thoroughly investigate all cases like this, but as the onus is on Council to prove guilt we need to gather as much evidence as possible, and that’s where nearby residents and passers-by can be extremely helpful.”

Interfering with vegetation carries significant fines up to $131,580.

Mr MacGillivray said the sign would remain in place behind Lorikeet Drive at Peregian Beach until the new plantings have matured.

ZEN and council partner up Noosa councillors on Monday voted unanimously to enter a three year partnership with Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) Inc, providing them funding of $65,000 per year for the next three years to assist them achieve their aim of zero net emissions in the Noosa Shire.

Since 2016 ZEN Inc group of highly professional and dedicated volunteers have undertaken data driven on-ground projects, advocacy and education of the Noosa community to reduce electricity and transport driven emissions across the shire with activities in line with council’s Corporate and Climate Change response plans.

The council meeting heard each year ZEN Inc run a very popular and successful EV expo that has brought significant benefits to the Noosa community, and through 79,000 annual volunteers hours of in-kind time provide about $350,000 annually to the community.

The partnership funding will enable ZEN Inc to employ a coordinator whose role is intended to encompass an array of responsibilities including administrative oversight, governance support, member recruitment and assistance with grant application procedures.

For the purposes of this agreement, Council will work with ZEN Inc on activities and projects towards zero emissions for Noosa Shire that align with Council plans and provide access, as determined reasonable, to staff resources, expertise and data.

In accordance with its Strategic Plan, ZEN Inc will fund the majority of its projects through grants, donations and diversified funding sources and work with Council and the community to assist the implementation of Council’s Climate Change Response Plan and achieve net zero emissions for the Noosa Shire.

A final decision on the partnership will be made at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday evening.

ZEN Inc EV Expo is an annual and popular event that informs the community about electric vehicles.

Youth Justice committee seeking submissions The Youth Justice Reform Select Committee, established on 12 October 2023, will examine ongoing reforms to the youth justice system and support for victims of crime.

“There is significant concern among the community about youth crime and a need to better understand how to prevent and respond to this problem in Queensland.

This committee will address that need” said committee chair and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

The committee will investigate a wide range of issues, including how to divert young offenders from the criminal justice system, prevent re-offending and – ultimately – better protect the community from the effects of youth crime.

“This is a controversial issue and one that affects all Queenslanders. The committee will be taking a collaborative and bipartisan approach to ensure it is able to identify

constructive solutions for both the short and long term,” Ms Bolton said.

The committee is calling for submissions from key stakeholders, including victims of crime, people with lived experience of the youth justice system, service providers, experts and practitioners working in the field.

“We know the community is seeking solutions to this complex issue. That’s why the committee will use the first phase of the inquiry to develop its evidence base.

Then the committee will test stakeholder support for potential strategies to address youth crime and assess what it would take to make them work on the ground,” Ms Bolton said.

The committee expects to receive public briefings from the Department of Youth Justice, Employment, Small Business and Training, as well as the Queensland Police Service,

and several other departments that interact with Queensland’s youth justice system in November.

In accordance with the terms of reference, the committee also intends to conduct site visits to assess the suitability of infrastructure used for the custody and detention of young people.

In early 2024, the committee will visit different parts of the state to hear from local communities and investigate how existing programs are operating on the ground.

No shame in going flat mastectomy surgery.

“The research team want to find out more about the social norms and assumptions being conveyed to women who undergo mastectomy. Once we understand what type of comments they are receiving from their surgeons and healthcare team, we can better educate healthcare professionals about being impartial and allowing the patient to make an informed choice on her surgical outcome.”

Joanna is one of three administrators of the Sunshine Coast Breast Cancer Friendship Circle, a social support group formed in 2019 for local breast cancer survivors who meet monthly for friendship, support and understanding.

The national study was the brainchild of flat advocates Robyn Smith (Canberra), Melanie Law (Central Coast NSW) and Joanna who each have lived experience of flat reconstruction due to breast cancer diagnosis or hereditary breast cancer risk (BRCA gene mutation).

Supporting the study are Dr Fiona CrawfordWilliams, Flinders University, and Dr Kirsty Seward, behaviour change scientist and body image coach.

Flat advocate and BRCA2 gene mutation carrier Robyn Smith, age 44 from Canberra, ACT, carries the BRCA2 gene mutation and underwent risk-reducing mastectomy surgery aged 39 in 2019, choosing breast reconstruction with implants. After experiencing symptoms of breast implant illness (BII), she ‘explanted’ in 2020 (removed the implants) and opted for flat reconstruction (aesthetic flat closure).

Ms Smith said lack of existing evidencebased data, support and informational resources were some of the reasons that motivated her involvement in the national survey.

“There’s currently a large flat community in Australia which is continually growing, but if there is limited data and information about us and how we came to the decision to go flat, how do we expect to properly advocate for this group of women and the future generations coming behind us?”

Breast cancer survivor and flat advocate Melanie Law, age 55 from Tumbi Umbi, NSW, said she believes there are social assumptions about the female body conforming to particular aesthetics, and therefore many people expect that women should want to reconstruct their breasts rather than going flat and living breastless.

“I feel some professionals in the healthcare community assume that women recovering from mastectomy may have improved mental health outcomes if they can reinstate their original body shape. This isn’t always the case and it didn’t apply to me and many others.”

Contributions to the Flinders University survey are anonymous, information is confidential, and data will be deidentified. The survey is open to Australian residents and will close in February 2024. Questions or requests for information can be directed to programs@ pinkhope.org.au Sunshine Coast breast cancer survivor and flat advocate Joanna Atzori.

12644524-FC43-23

Sunshine Coast breast cancer survivor and flat advocate Joanna Atzori is calling for parity among reconstructive surgical outcomes presented to Australian women who undergo mastectomy surgery for cancer or risk reduction.

Joanna, age 46 from Maroochydore, and author of online blog UnBreasted, is one of three advocates spearheading a national research study into breast surgery options, outcomes and resources offered to women who undergo mastectomy.

The study through Flinders University invites women who have undergone a single or double mastectomy with a flat closure outcome to share their experience. Their data will inform advocacy efforts in this space and ensure future generations who undergo mastectomy are presented with chest-inclusive surgery options.

Joanna said she was proud to be an advocate and change-maker in the Australian breast cancer community celebrating women who choose flat reconstruction after mastectomy.

Joanna’s involvement in the national research study was influenced by her desire to change perceptions of flat reconstruction – called aesthetic flat closure – and work towards future generations of women being provided information about the equality and validity of all surgical outcomes following mastectomy.

“Despite what many people believe, not every woman has the need or desire to replace her breasts surgically following mastectomy,” Joanna said.

“There are many women who – like me – are attracted by the opportunity of removing their breasts entirely and living flat or having the option to wear protheses inside specialised mastectomy lingerie and swimwear.”

Following mastectomy of her right breast in 2019, aged 41, Joanna lived for 18 months as a ‘uniboober’, using a prosthesis (breast form) in place of the removed breast. Around a year after diagnosis, she discovered she could achieve a flat chest outcome through prophylactic mastectomy which involved voluntary removal of her remaining left breast.

Joanna said the support she received from her breast surgeon is unfortunately not as common as it should be for Australian women who undergo mastectomy.

“My surgeon supported my decision to remove the remaining breast and unlike many other surgeons, she did not attempt to encourage me to pursue breast reconstruction or convince me that living as a flat woman would have a negative impact on my quality of life,” Joanna said.

“I’ve heard horror stories from some women who said they felt pressured by comments and information presented by their healthcare team to choose breast reconstruction, or they simply weren’t given information about all post-surgery options including flat reconstruction (aesthetic flat closure).

“This study is designed to provide a clearer picture of the impact to patient mental and physical health outcomes, especially among those who feel they weren’t presented with chest-inclusive options at the time of their

Stomp artists’ top spot

By Gabriel Laidler-Burns The Wolvi Stomp is a favourite stop for touring artists, as performers note their experience playing at the Wolvi Hall and the Gympie region.

The music festival saw 19 artists and bands play across the weekend, ranging from rock to funk to blues and more, with some artists returning to perform once again and some new faces to the venue.

The musical duo, Salt and Steel, returned to the stomp after playing at the Hall some years ago and were happy to be back.

“You can really vibe off everyone and it feels very community” said their guitarist and vocalist Brioni. “(It has a) Nice vibe and nice atmosphere” The duo noted their love for the outdoors and remarked the Gympie region as a beautiful area they enjoyed regularly passing through.

They were doing shows around Queensland, the East coast and Tasmania all whilst living in their van, but noted their joy for performing in regional communities.

“I prefer to play in the country, kind of more remote areas than cities and stuff” said their Drummer Elle.

The Sunshine Coast based slick blues TJ Carter was another returning artist under the creative direction of Tobi, who played solo at the Stomp in previous years were thrilled to be welcomed back.

“We’d like to thank the locals for being supportive.” said guitarist and vocalist Tobi.

“We love seeing familiar faces” The band noted how the felt a part of the organising family at the Hall.

“Welcoming of course, forgivingly welcoming and supportive” said their bassist Boi.

Deidre Eole and President of the Wolvi Hall Committee Michelle Michelle Agnew at the Door for the Wolvi Stomp.

Funds raised Agnew was hoping for good weather after the downpour last year and was greeted by the sunny weekend for a smooth operation.

“We think it is the best little boutique blues and roots festival within our region” says Mrs Agnew.

Creative director Gary Gladstone created the stomp seven years ago wanting to revive the historic hall and after seeing the communities enthusiasm and council get on board, kept his passion for live music and creating a space for live musicians.

“We’re showcasing touring artists in a rural setting, a lot of these people don’t have the opportunity or finance or time to get to the big smoke and experience this.” says Mr Gladstone.

“People come from far to come and experience our hall and community, the more people you bring together the better isn’t it.”

By Gabriel Laidler-Burns A music festival in the backyard, fundraising for firefighters and giving back to the community, that’s what the hard work and efforts of the Wolvi Hall Committee has achieved.

The Wolvi Stomp, is an annual event where rock, blues and roots lovers can come together to enjoy the tunes of local artists in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere.

From a small and diverse committee of ten volunteers committed to revitalising the hall and creating a space for local music, the event has seen success with 173 pre-sold tickets and more at the door.

Guests had the option to camp on-site for the event with the help of the Royal Fire Brigade and the funds raised go directly back to local fire services managing to donate just under $3000 dollars to them last year.

Identity at risk for region Sunshine Coast Council Urban Design and Architecture team lead Sarah Chalkley.

Dr Noel Robinson spoke of the risk to the Sunshine Coast of losing its architectural identity.

Pictures: ROB MACCOLL Gabriele listened to people’s ideas and feelings and he would always jump at the opportunity to explore new material, he said.

“His love of detail in systems was evident in what he really stood for - the creation of joyful space - or as he would say, space in which the soul can play,“ he said.

“Gabriel and Lizzy (artist Elizabeth Poole) working together personified everything I love in architecture - integrity of material and structure and respect for and connection to nature and the natural world.

“What really mattered was not awards but if the client was happy and if even in small way it progressed discipline of architecture forward.“ “Never back down, stand by what you believe in, no matter the consequences, live life fiercely, passionately, joyfully,“ are words instilled in Dan by Poole.

As Sunshine Coast Open House 2023 ambassador Dr Noel Robinson praised the event and forum speakers, describing them as “legends and truly inspirational“.

“Note they all demonstrate the importance of regional identity and climatic responsive design methodology - that is at great risk of not being encouraged and implemented at

present on the Sunshine Coast,“ he said as he voiced his concerns about the direction of architecture in the region.

“The Sunshine Coast school of architecture is in danger of losing its identity without the support of client bodies and patrons engaging local talent in the development of a distinct response to climate and character,“ he said.

“The unique local character of built and non built form is now at risk. We need to advocate for more responsive design and approval regimes that ensure we get local character on track. There are some serious shortfalls in the engagement of top local talent for local projects as well as serious errors of judgement that have taken place by council decision-making and state governments - apathy, misunderstanding and pure neglect of relevant duties and responsibilities to support appropriate design items that are climatically responsive and demonstrate how to identify and respond to our incredible and unique landscape and environment.

“We should be developing, promoting and approving architecture that says we are the Sunshine Coast through built form that responds to its orientation, takes advantage of aspect, captures prevailing breezes, ensures

big roofs and overhangs to shape buildings, captures rainwater, as well as provides support for solar collectors, while being regenerative and sustainable.

“We must design for place, this place, not just anywhere. Planners need to understand, support and approve this direction before they start any assessment process. Council planners, politicians, federal and state governments need to join us in advocating for the place of appropriate design, otherwise we are in danger of losing our identity. It’s not rocket science. We can do it.

“We need to insist on those in authority to truly understand their responsibilities in delivering that outcome to our future generations.

This is not about sustainability but it’s about making you feel comfortable and uplifted in the place and connected to the land and the region and not intimidated by poor, inappropriate built form.

“It is sad that much of the recent Sunshine Coast buildings are too internationally driven to be considered inspirational. They are overscale, not climatically responsive, rarely integrated into landscape and could be located anywhere in the world. We have the local talent here on the Sunshine Coast to deliver outstanding results.

“We need the right support of governance to support local design professionals to deliver regional, responsive and identifiable places by engaging with and supporting local talent to deliver a current and relevant school of architecture.”

From page 1 Architecture has to work over time and respond to the environment, climate, landscape and it has emerged as a response to culture, he said.

Dr Clare highlighted some architectural changes and influences over his 44 year and multi-award winning career.

He spoke about verandah spaces occurring more permanently as living spaces, of the shift from darker and poorly ventilated spaces to interiors filled with a sense of light. His projects ranged from houses that “sit quietly in the Sunshine Coast hinterland“, to intergenerational housing in Sydney marked by “costeffective, uncomplicated, versatile spaces“, to art galleries influenced by the landscape, art and its connection to people.

Among other inspirational Sunshine Coast architects, Dr Clare mentioned Gabriel Poole, renowned for his lightweight, ephemeral houses and Geoffrey Pye. John Mainwarring told the audience he graduated from architecture 50 years ago, met Gabriel Poole after sailing his yacht into the mouth of the Noosa River in the 1970s and set up an office with him.

He talked about experimenting with verandahs, his use of atriums and his architectural journey with hollow buildings.

Lindy Atkin of Bark Architects said after returning from the UK in 1995 she was introduced to Stephen Guthrie. They won a competition to design the Caloundra Art Gallery and have worked together for the past 28 years since they co-founded Bark Architects.

Over the years Lindy and Steve have worked with and been inspired by Gabriel Poole and Lyndsay and Kerry Clare. They have also gleaned inspiration from architecture discovered during their travels across the world including the Bahamas, South America, Japan and Europe, she said.

Dan Sparks founded Sparks Architects in 2007 but prior to that he learned about architecture and landscape through his six years working with Gabriel Poole after graduating university, he told the audience.

Making recycling simpler Noosa Council is making it easier for residents to recycle and reduce the waste they send to landfill with the help of a new web-based app.

Locals can simply tell the website what items they’d like to recycle or no longer need, to find a list of Noosa-specific options to either recycle the item or donate it for repair and reuse.

Council partnered with Recycle Mate, an initiative of the Australian Recycling Industry, in an Australian-first project to create the custom web-based program especially for Noosa locals.

“The tailor-made program will empower residents with essential tools and information to navigate local recycling and recovery opportunities,” Emma Menzies, council’s waste education and sustainability officer, said.

“This innovative alliance supports council’s commitment to fostering sustainable waste management practices and leading the charge towards a circular economy, and 80 per cent diversion of waste from landfill.

“What we’re most excited about is the Recycling Chatbot which provides real-time assistance in English or any other languages. Residents can ask questions, or inquire about the importance of specific recycling practices, to upskill their knowledge. It is simply brilliant,” Ms. Menzies said.

The program also features an interactive map with places to recycle, repair, donate, and safely dispose of items within Noosa Shire.

The Noosa Sorting Guide, accessible through Recycle Mate, provides clarity on recyclable items and identifies nearby away-from-home recycling and recovery options.

Mark Borgert, Council’s Waste Coordinator, praised the Recycle Mate initiative.

“Recycling right, donating, or repairing re-

Noosa residents can additionally download the free Recycle Mate app for accurate recycling advice not only for the Noosa Shire but also for every other Council area across Australia.

The app automatically adjusts to local recycling systems, ensuring consistency and accuracy.

The amazing SOS investigation team lead the way

by Professor Fiona Wood, the whole skininto-skin-cells process took about 3 weeks.

Then the doctors put it into a special spray bottle and spray onto the burned area, and you get quick and scar less healing! Spray on Skin is a game changing innovation that has saved the lives of thousands of people, and improved the lives of many others.

After the Bali bombings in 2002, patients were transported to the Royal Perth Hospital, where Fiona Wood and her team saved 8 out of 11 lives.

In 2012, a two-year-old boy received second degree burns from a cup of tea that fell on him at his home in Lincolnshire. He received Wood’s treatment, and after four months his scars were pretty much invisible.

The Expo team was absolutely amazed at the sheer brilliance of Fiona’s invention and how she used it to help other people in the community and wanted to raise awareness of SOS in the community. SOS is an absolutely magical treatment that helps thousands of people recover properly and also helps burnt children cope with the emotional trauma of scarring because there is no scarring.

Every year at Good Shepherd Lutheran College the students in year 5 do a big project called Expo. It lasts eight weeks and the students show all the skills that they have learned from prep to year 5. This year the topic for Expo was Australian Inventions that have Changed the World.

Three of the students in year 5 investigated Spray on Skin.

They found that this amazing invention was invented by Professor Fiona Wood in 1993. Professor Wood is a burns surgeon at Perth Children’s Hospital, and has received the Australian of the Year award, along with a few others.

Spray on Skin is skin that has been stripped down into just cells and is applied to burns. Usually, the skin is from another part of your body (e.g., if you have a burn on your cheek or chin, the doctors remove a bit of skin from behind your ear). Then the doctors remove that small bit of skin and immerse it in an enzyme to form a suspension liquid.

The process nowadays only takes around half an hour, but back when it was first invented,

Happy, healthy dogs No shortage of thrills

By Margie Maccoll Long time dog trainer and veterinary nurse Shannon Bamford set up dog behaviour training after seeing many poorly behaved dogs and identifying a lack in the industry for people to get the support they needed to train their dogs.

“My aim was to help people to educate their dogs to be better community members and have happy, healthy dogs,“ she said.

Unleashed dog behaviour training shows dog owners how to modify their pets unwanted behaviours and get out with their dogs and do fun activities.

Shannon and her team were among a range of services providing information and demonstrations at DogFest, brought together at Nambour Showgrounds last Saturday through a partnership between Griffith University, Sunshine Coast Council and the Department of Environment and Science.

Sunshine Coast Council’s response services education officer Hannah Maloney said the training demonstrations and workshops were aimed at helping owners create a safer and more harmonious co-existence between people and animals, including wildlife.

“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,“ she said.

“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.”

Also at the DogFest were organisations which care for wildlife and others such as Story Dogs which tap into the benefits of relationships between dogs and people.

Julie Anne from Story Dogs said the local branch of the national organisation had 80 dog and owner teams which, having completed training and behaviour training, attend school across the region to assist children to read by

Julie Anne and Suzie with Poppy and Archie of Story Dogs. having them read to their dogs.

WILVOS (Wildlife Volunteer Organisation) with its team of volunteers has been caring for sick and injured wildlife and providing advice to the public through its 24 hour emergency hotline for almost 30 years.

WILVOS 20-year volunteer, Roslyn, said spring was its busiest time of the year, but advice to anyone finding wildlife in trouble was just a phone call away 24 hours a day on 5441 6200.

Sunshine Coast Turtle Care are gearing up for the turtle nesting and hatching season which runs from November to May with 97 turtle nests recorded last year from Mooloolaba to Bribie Island. Julie Marsland said the group had beach walkers out every day to check on nesting sites to ensure the best outcome for hatchlings.

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.

The weather gods were smiling favourably for the 26th running of the Noosa Hill Climb Motorsport event over the weekend.

Flags fluttered in the gentle breeze, tyre gauges tweaked optimal racing pressure, engines gently ticked over, waiting for the green light to activate race mode.

In all, 130 competition drivers revelled in the spring sunshine enjoying multiple runs up the course, each effort trying to shave time to record a personal best.

There were plenty of thrills and spills to entertain the spectator crowds in the grandstands. A wide array of cars lined up, something for everyone, from the Mini to the Audi, Porsche, Subaru, Caterham, VW’s, Lotus, Mazda, Alpha Romeo, Westfield, Steinard, Minetti, and Austin 7.

The category winners took home trophies and tales of glory, the struggle of man over machine.

It was all about the PB time, nothing else mattered.

Outright winner, with the fastest run of 54.76 secs was Michael Ciccotelli, driving a specialist race car, a Stohr F 1000.

Winner of the Regularity category with an outstanding performance was Stephen Callaghan.

Clear winner of the AWD Street category was Adrian Reed.

Winner of the 5001cc+Open category was Peter Lawrence driving a BMW M3 with Bruce Simpson hot on his tail in second place.

Pharmacists go extra mile

By Abbey Cannan Two local pharmacists from LiveLife Pharmacy are being celebrated for always going the extra mile to help their patients and the community.

Jacqueline Meyer, from LiveLife Pharmacy Cooroy, won the 2023 PSA Queensland Pharmacist of the Year Award, presented in Brisbane.

While Noosa Junction pharmacist Jason Sammut was awarded the APA Most Outstanding Community Pharmacist in Australia 2023 Award at Melbourne’s Sofitel Hotel.

They spent years studying to reach their goals of working in the medicine field, and now they both continue to grow their expertise and provide genuine care, while forming bonds with their patients through a range of services.

As a female business owner and mother, Jacqueline lives and breathes the values of the pharmacy profession and has been passionate about mentoring young pharmacists for many years.

“I always had a desire to want to help people and wanted to be in a profession that allowed me to do so,“ Jacquie said.

“I grew up in a great community in rural Victoria, so from a young age I understood the value of small communities and the close relationships that get formed.

“To become a pharmacist is a four year degree with a fifth year in practice before you can get registered, so it’s quite a lengthy time of study, but a very rewarding career in the end.“ Jacquie is in full support of a pilot being expanded Queensland-wide enabling pharmacists to administer a wider range of vaccines and prescribe medicines for common health conditions.

“I think it’s great that pharmacists are the most accessible health practitioners,“ she said.

“Sometimes it’s difficult for someone to get into their regular GP after hours and so we’re able to assist with these uncomplicated situations. We don’t want infections to go on for

So we fully support that initiative.“ She is the founder and host of the Hinterland Health Expo, hosted in Cooroy and now in its second year, uniting health providers, building positive relationships, and facilitating collaborations between practitioners. With free community access, members of the public can speak to a wide range of health professionals in a relaxed environment, fostering community accessibility, improving consumer awareness and education, and demonstrating that exhibiting practitioners prioritise community healthcare.

Jacqueline also provides nurse education, antibiotic stewardship, and patient education,

reinforcing the support pharmacists provide and how they are making a difference in the community.

At LiveLife Pharmacy Noosa Junction, patients are lucky to have Jason Sammut, who has been a pharmacist for 28 years and has worked in the profession both here and in England.

He’s also been recognised for going above and beyond for his local community including visiting the vulnerable, checking on the sick, elderly and the bereaved.

“It feels very humbling to receive a national award for doing my small part in caring for the local Noosa community that I love,“ Jason said.

“My older brother was a pharmacist and

when I did my Year 10 work experience, I worked in a pharmacy and really enjoyed the interaction with the patients. This began my journey in healthcare.

“Pharmacy has changed a lot over the years but my primary focus regardless of the role in the places I’ve worked, is on the patients. That’s where I draw my inspiration and my drive. I really like to form firm relationships with our patients as that makes it fun and exciting.

“I am very fortunate to work with an amazing team at LiveLife Pharmacy Noosa Junction.

They along with my family have played a big part in me receiving this award.”

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia personally congratulated Jason on his achievement with Guild Executive Director Suzanne Greenwood present to see him win the award.

Pharmacy Guild National President Professor Trent Twomey said that Jason displays all the attributes the Guild encourages in the pharmacy profession.

“It’s great to see Jason’s efforts being fittingly recognised and he follows in the footsteps of the most dedicated pharmacists who have previously been named ‘Most Outstanding Community Pharmacist’ by the APA.”

More safe drivers on roads The Rotary Drivers Awareness Program (RYDA) has wrapped up its final event for 2023 on Thursday 19 October with students from Noosa District High.

There were 145 students from Years 10 and 11 in attendance and several teachers on hand.

This program is made possible and delivered free to the students by RSE with funds made available from Transport and Main Roads (TMR).

The Rotary Clubs of Noosa and Cooroy band together as volunteers to manage the delivery of the program along with members of the State Emergency Services (SES), to maintain the safety of all who participate on the day.

The RYDA program is a series and powerful workshops that aim to change the way young people think about road safety.

There are five separate sessions all designed to instil in the minds of the young drivers the hazards and risks that they will en-

counter during their early years of handling a car.

Perhaps the most impactful moments come from the personal stories of loss and survival.

In one session, students watch a powerful and emotional video on the life and tragic death of and 18 year old provisional driver and her best friend.

And another, they sit with a crash survivor and hear first hand how one poor choice can change a life forever.

They investigate ways to manage and eliminate road risk by developing and rehearsing personal strategies.

This program is available to all students who are about to get their Ls, usually year 11 students. Contact your local Rotary Club for more information.

There were 145 students from Years 10 and 11 in attendance and several teachers on hand.

Rotary partners with Bendigo Bank to combat malaria The Rotary Club of Cooroy has formed a collaboration with local Bendigo Bank Branches on the Sunshine Coast and Gympie to introduce Rotary Foreign Coin Donation Boxes.

These unique donation boxes accept foreign and local currency, with proceeds supporting Griffith University in Queensland’s efforts to develop a malaria vaccine.

President Chris Durie, overseeing the program on the Sunshine Coast, emphasised the urgency, said, “Every five minutes, a child dies from malaria somewhere in the world.“ Malaria, a widespread tropical health is-

sue, claims over 700,000 lives annually and incapacitates millions. The disease is caused by a parasitic mosquito-borne infection.

The Rotary program collects foreign currencies, converting them into Aussie dollars, and donates the proceeds to Griffith University’s Malaria Vaccine Research Program. This initiative has raised over half a million dollars to date.

Chris said, “There are no administrative costs beyond standard currency exchange fees, thanks to the dedicated work of Rotary and volunteers.“

Please check your drawers for unused foreign currency and consider visiting your local Bendigo Bank Branch to support Rotary’s mission to Create Hope in the World.

Cooroy Rotary is part of a worldwide network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling humanitarian challenges locally, regionally, nationally and globally. Rotary connects 1.4 million members of more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries.

A top place to teach New courts

and carpark

Sunshine Beach State School (SBSS) has earned its reputation as a sought-after destination for pre-service teachers from universities across Australia. The school’s rich learning environment, the unique attributes of being a Glasser Quality School and an accredited International School, coupled with consistently excellent academic results, make it a prime choice for aspiring educators.

SBSS boasts a team of experienced, caring, and dedicated teachers who are passionate about nurturing the next generation of educators. Principal Alison Welch shared her thoughts on the school’s appeal: “At SBSS, we’re not just about delivering high-quality education to our students but also creating an environment that fosters professional growth.

We are proud to open our doors to pre-service teachers and provide them with a comprehensive and realistic experience.“ The school’s commitment to positive relationships, respect, the value of trying one’s hardest, and personal responsibility are ingrained in its culture. This ethos makes SBSS a standout choice for pre-service teachers who want to gain practical experience in a school that emphasises these values.

SBSS hosts pre-service teachers from various universities, including University of the Sunshine Coast, Central Queensland University, Curtin, Edith Cowan, University of Queensland, Southern Cross University, Griffith University, and Swinburne. These aspiring educators are drawn to SBSS for its dedication to the Glasser philosophy, an environment that nurtures high performance, and a progressive approach to education.

Gabby Andrade, a recent pre-service teacher from the University of Southern Queensland, based in Toowoomba, chose SBSS for her professional placement. Gabby shared her experience, saying, “I live in a rural town called Quilpie, 12 hours west of Noosa. I requested SBSS for my placement as I had heard so many won-

Preservice teacher, Gabby, guiding Sunshine Beach SS learners Korah and Leilani. derful things about the school. I was keen to learn more about the Glasser philosophy and experience being in a high-performing, supportive, and progressive school. I was fortunate to be offered a placement in a Year 4 class with Traci Hozier as my supervising teacher. I gained valuable knowledge and learnt effective teaching strategies, and I am very grateful for this experience. The students were friendly, well-behaved, and eager to learn, making it a rewarding, enriching experience that has left me with many fond memories. Even though I was a long way from home and missed my

family greatly, I can’t wait to come back to Sunshine Beach State School next year to complete my next placement.“ SBSS’s reputation as a hub of educational excellence stems from its unwavering commitment to delivering quality education, fostering professional growth, and creating a positive and nurturing learning environment. Preservice teachers find themselves not just welcomed but immersed in an environment that equips them with the skills, knowledge, and experiences necessary for their future careers.

Peregian-Springs based school St Andrew’s Anglican College has opened the next stage of its masterplan, with a new multi-purpose courts complex and underground parking facility.

The development, which began at the start of this year, was officially opened

by Mr Dan Purdie, State member for Ninderry and College Principal Reverend Chris Ivey on Monday 16 October, while students and parents enjoyed being the first to use the new facility with games of netball and soccer.

Replacing an existing grassed area, the impressive facility boasts six full-sized courts on an astro-turf surface, and are a welcome addition to the College’s sporting program, as well as providing additional space for Primary students during morning tea and lunch.

Sitting beside the College’s world-class Aquatic Centre, College Principal Reverend Chris Ivey said the development created an impressive recreational precinct.

“We are thrilled to introduce these new facilities to our College community,” he said. Underneath the courts, a new underground car park, providing 100 parking spaces is also welcome addition for the community.

The next stage in the College’s master-plan is due to start mid-way through 2024, with Stage 1 of a Performing Arts Centre (PAC) and new main administration building towards the front of the College.

This will be followed by a Future Learning building for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM), estimated to commence in 2027.

The Guide SHERWOOD ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK

Based on real-life events, this addictive, magnificently crafted drama doesn’t disappoint with its evocative and devastating final episode. A post-Brexit murder mystery about the middle class, from award-winning playwright James Graham and starring a crowd of veteran British talent, it’s a rich portrait of a small community, but also a captivating account of one of the biggest manhunts in British history. Ian (David Morrissey, pictured) is becoming obsessed in his drive to find the spy cop. When Gary’s (Alun Armstrong) killer is finally revealed, it’s thought-provoking and compelling.

ANNIKA ABC TV, Sunday, 8.20pm

Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, pictured) returns for a second season of playfully breaking the fourth wall, addressing the audience in a deliciously deadpan manner as DI Annika Strandhed. The Norwegianborn homicide cop has an affinity with boats and quoting famous literary works, along with a hardy work ethic heading up the Marine Homicide Unit in Glasgow. Showing off Scotland’s aquatic beauty with an undertone of humour about the predictable nature of investigative crime series, this season promises first-rate writing and exceptional acting from Walker. In tonight’s season two opener, a phone camera documents a brutal murder and Annika’s professional life is affected by her daughter Morgan’s (Silvie Furneaux) secrets.

JAMIE COOKS THE MEDITERRANEAN 10, Saturday, 6.30pm LOVE ISLAND AUSTRALIA Nine, Monday, 8.40pm

To be fair, Jamie Oliver (pictured) could cook just about anything – wild game, fermented foods or even lentil stew – and we’d all happily tune in. The British chef has a way with ingredients and flavour – and his endless enthusiasm is just one part of the recipe. After decades of hosting cooking shows and writing piles of recipe books, in this new series, Oliver shows he still has the Midas touch and the ability to surprise his audience. In this tasty travelogue the beloved foodie celebrates Mediterranean fare, with picturesque villages and dreamy olive tree-dotted gardens as his backdrop. You’ll almost feel the warm Greek sun on your skin as Oliver whips up crispy lemon chicken and eggplant flatbread.

It’s a lesson in bold, brash confidence and how to sport skimpy swimming attire with the same nonchalance as wearing a tracksuit. In this dating show, everyone is unsurprisingly young and beautiful, but they also have attitude and sass to boot. Returning to the sunny climes of Mallorca, Spain, along with breezily outspoken host Sophie Monk (pictured), this season’s contenders – five men and five women – have signed up to find love, but there’s a juicy power shift in store with the girls seizing control of the sun-kissed search for connection. The singles include Kirra, 26, (who made a splash defending sister Bronte earlier this year on MAFS), along with long-time single Ben – who says he is ready for marriage at 22.

Cheers to Oktoberfest About 1500 guests donned their dirndls and lederhosen for a German celebration this month when Terrella Brewing and German Bakehouse joined forces for the biggest Oktoberfest event to date at the North Arm venue.

Terrella Brewing event manager Liv said the event was six months in the planning and they had no idea what the public response would be.

But with a German band, good beer, plenty of German sausages and pretzels and some fun activities such as barrel throwing, it was hailed a great success and will definitely be on the calendar again next year.

Guests try their skills at barrel throwing.

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Council submits concerns Submission to State Government As many of you may know, Noosa Council has finalised our submission to the Queensland Government outlining concerns we have with the draft South-East Qld Regional Plan and its likely implications for Noosa. In summary: the plan doesn’t provide any state funded infrastructure needed to cater for the extra 19,100 people the plan requires Noosa to accommodate by 2046. The plan puts at risk Noosa’s iconic values- previously protected by state legislation such as low-rise development and the mention in the plan of more than four storeys in height has never been part of Council’s planning vision for the Shire and nor is there community support for the increased heights.

The plan also does not consider or provide recognition of the work we’ve already done as a council to address our community’s housing issues. This includes developing our comprehensive Housing Needs Analysis, monitoring the impact of short-term accommodation on permanent housing, and adopting a Housing Strategy. Our planning scheme amendments which would help tackle some of the issues the state wants us to address are still going through the lengthy State Interest Review process, despite being submitted back in February 2023.

Finally, we need a greater commitment from the state for more affordable housing and the draft plan is vague around delivery of social and affordable housing as well as build-to-rent housing.

Infrastructure awards for Council Council’s Infrastructure team has recently

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart. been awarded IPWEA Qld Excellence awards for a number of its infrastructure projects.

Noosa Council received an Excellence Award for the Beckmans Road Intersection Upgrade and the Noosa Biosphere Trail 5 Upgrade. The Beckmans Road Intersection, which was designed and built by Council to enhance traffic flow while also providing im-

proved facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, took out the award for best project in the Road Safety and Infrastructure category which is a remarkable achievement. All of our staff, contractors and team who worked on this project are to be congratulated. This project was not only an award winner but was delivered under a pandemic, rising labour costs, soaring infra-

structure costs and major logistical delays.

The Noosa Biosphere Trail 5 Upgrade took out the award for the best project between $1m-$2m with improvements occurring along the 10km Cooroora Trail between Pomona and Cooran.

And just last week, Cooroy’s Hinterland Adventure Playground has won two prestigious awards in the 2023 AILA National Landscape Architecture Awards. The award for Play Spaces was won by the playground for its all-abilities design that is thoughtfully integrated into its surroundings. The playground also won a National Regional Achievement Award for successfully drawing on the site’s industrial and landscape character, showcasing considered material reuse.

Noosa Council joins 80+ Councils in Garage Sale Trail Finally, Council has joined more than 80 other councils in taking part in the Garage Sale Trail this year. Residents are invited to host a garage sale over two weekends in November that being 11 and 12 November 2023 and 18 and 19 November 2023. Our involvement in the national initiative means residents can access free registration, how-to guides, and promotional resources to help you host a garage sale. We’ve joined the initiative as it aligns with Council’s goal of reducing waste and boosting recycling and reuse. More than 400,000 people are expected to participate across Australia this year over the two weekends. To get involved please visit: https://www.garagesaletrail.com.au/noosa

Reduce speed limits There has been a precedent for installing 50km/hr speed signs in the area of Noosaville and Tewantin. This, of course, is in the interests of road safety in general to protect drivers and pedestrians alike. There are some other areas that could benefit from 50km/hr signs to make drivers slow down for safety reasons.

On the corner of Werin Street and Poinciana Avenue a 60km/hr sign is installed. As the traffic is proceeding along Poinciana Avenue into a busy central business district this sign could be replaced by a 50km/hr sign to slow traffic down. The 60km/hr sign pointing along Sidoni Street could also be removed and replaced with a 50km/hr sign. What you have then is a safe 50km/hr passage all the way to the Gibson Road Roundabout. Another area is Ernest Street that flows into Goodchap Street after a sharp bend. The 60km/hr sign could also be replaced with a 50km/hr sign. The reason for this is the existence of a Hospital, an Aged Care facility and a child care centre where drivers could all slow down all in the interests of road and pedestrian safety.

Over 10,000 Noosa residents voted Yes At the recent referendum, 10,489 Noosa Shire residents voted Yes at voting booths. That was 36 per cent of the 29,229 Noosa votes counted and higher than Wide Bay overall (25 per cent Yes) and Queensland (31 per cent Yes).

Noosa Shire’s referendum results also put paid to the idea that voting was along party lines.

The Noosa Heads voting booth (including affluent Sunshine Beach) returned a majority of Yes votes (55 per cent;). At the last Federal election, the Noosa Heads/Sunshine Beach booth majority voted Liberal. At Peregian Beach the majority voted 61 per cent; Yes and Labor at the Federal election.

All other Noosa Shire booths returned majority No votes in the referendum. Again, this contrasts with the Federal election where Boreen Point, Kin Kin, and Cooran majorities

voted Labor.

The highest percentage of No’s were at the Noosaville Baptist Church pre-polling booth (69 per cent; of the 16,254 early voters).

Meanwhile it is worth being aware of the booths which returned a good proportion of Yes votes on election day: Noosaville State School (48 per cent; Yes), Cooran (44 per cent Yes), Noosaville Baptist Church (44 per cent Yes), Good Shepherd school (43 per cent Yes), Boreen Point (42 per cent; Yes), Kin Kin (41 per cent Yes), Pomona (41 per cent Yes), Tewantin

(40 per cent Yes) and Tinbeerwah (40 per cent Yes).

So while a majority in Noosa Shire voted No, there was a sizable proportion favouring Yes. That was still a lot of statements from the heart.

Note: This article was written before the 27 October deadline for AEC receipt of postal votes.

One nation Activists having the disgraceful opinion that Australia is racist, need condemning as un-Australian, fascist, unintelligent, very ungrateful people. For more than 170 years Australia has recognised, given voice to, supported, and cared for our indigenous people. The vast majority are happily assimilated in a modern world, with a lot more privileges than colonialists.

Home is where the heart is My first intention of using that old saying was to possibly try to justify the reasons for the difference of opinions in the Middle East at the moment.

But having just watched the distressing live reports of atrocities committed on children and their parents there is no words of forgiveness, excuse or even one sane answer or reason I can come up with in excuses for those perpetrators who have committed those evil acts.

I was born and raised in Warwickshire England and had the pleasure (most times) of the 4 Seasons. The green fields, harvesting and the occasional trips with the Sunday School or Local Working Mens club to a day at the Seaside.

Donkey rides a paddle in the sea and a sand castle. Never did I then realise I would one day see a repeat on such a much larger scale that I was wondering when the cement would arrive.

I refer to later when I spent 12 months in Aden.

In the late fifties I joined the army and my first posting was Northern Ireland and a small place called Ballykinler on Dundrum Bay across from beautiful Newcastle where the Mountains of Mourn Sweep Down To The Sea. I spent many Saturday nights at the dances and in the pubs there.

Another reason for Home Is Where The Heart Is. Then 12 months in Aden were nothing but sand and the occasional Palm tree. An extinct volcano where you walk through the side to a town, village or whatever you see.

Children begging and its own unique smell and demoralising feeling when in there.

I include Aden in my Home Is Where The Heart Is for one reason.

After going through the Suez Canal on the way, there we were sailing one night through the Red Sea. On the ship, “request a song“ came from the Platters and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

The Sun was Blood Red, the sea was like a bowl of milk and the “smoke“ was moisturised by a few tears with a promise. I will always remember this moment and never forget how beautiful this planet and our sun are.

Then approximately 6 months in Germa-

ny… what an eye opener that was. I had to remind myself many times there was a war there approximately 16/17 months before. The Autobahn I travelled in in an army truck was a repeat of what armies had fought on and for.

But that didn’t exist with “Lay Byes“ with all the mod cons. Swimming, picnics, caravan parks. You could spend your life living on one.

The occasional trip into a city or local town with years of history.

Not a sign of bombing or destruction. Pub/ restaurant food was excellent. People welcoming no sign of animosity.

As I have mentioned in past letters, my father taught us to not bear malice so I have to include

Germany with its wonderful scenery and welcoming people, as one of those places.

Home Is Where The Heart Is. We all have our “homes“ past and present.

It’s so sad we can’t share and appreciate each other.

On The Soapbox Noosa Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie

Gaining new perspectives Many Queensland councils remain without consistently reliable power, phone coverage and water supply. More than half run deficit budgets, struggle to cover costs and are taking to the streets to address youth crime.

These are some of the challenges heard at the Local Government of Queensland (LGAQ) Conference in Gladstone, where 77 councils met last week.

Noosa’s issues of affordable housing shortages and impacts of short term accommodation on residential neighbourhoods are shared. The conference voted for the State to investigate solutions to the spread and impacts of STA. Noosa was the first in the QLD and one of three in Australia to create a Local Law to curb STA impacts. Noosa also moved to limit the spread of STA in residential through changes introduced in the 2020 Noosa Planning Scheme.

The conference heard alarming cases from councils shut down for extended periods by ransomware cyber-attacks. Moving to cloudbased servers are among the solutions.

During de-amalgamation, Noosa was among the first to adopt cloud-based technology which also saved ratepayers millions in hardware set-up costs.

According to IT staff, Noosa council repels between 500 and 1500 cyber-attacks a day, believed to be launched mainly from China and Russia.

The under-reported cyber-war involves daily hostile attempts on all levels of government and major businesses.

OIA complaints abuse Serial vexatious complainants to the Office of the Independent Assessor (OIA) who have had at least three complaints dismissed may be named and ignored under planned reforms.

OIA changes were recommended after the councillor complaints process became clogged with trivial complaints used in attempts to cause personal or political harm.

In future, complaints will need to be lodged within six months of the alleged offence and panels will include assessors with some local government experience.

The OIA will have also power to dismiss trivial or vexatious matters and deal with complaints by alternate means, such as warnings and training and not be limited to handing down misconduct findings.

The reforms aim to allow the OIA to focus on matters of genuine public interest and help

ensure complaints are not “weaponised” in the lead up to the 2024 election.

These changes are among those overseen by the Parliamentary Committee into the OIA which held a hearing in Gladstone during the LGAQ conference last week.

Stronger together?

Noosa Council’s motion that the State Government respect and acknowledge the population growth planned for by each Local Government was carried by a narrow majority.

Debate on the position that councils are best placed to set responsible growth targets revealed others would prefer to have the State set the numbers for them.

There still appears to be some resentment for Noosa having successfully negotiated modest growth targets and surprise that councils can negotiate with State planners.

The extra 19,100 people proposed for Noosa in the draft regional plan is the second lowest growth figure in South East Queensland at less than 1 per cent of total new SEQ residents.

However, this represents over a 20 per cent change in Noosa’s population and the second highest proportional increase in the region.

Noosa’s submission against unrealistic growth targets and the proposal to allow threestories of unit development on each low-density residential lot are with the State.

Noosa’s motion requesting adequate infrastructure funding should the State impose population growth targets greater than councils had planned for was roundly supported.

Equal partners?

Conference attendees Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Opposition Leader David Crisafulli both described their relationship with Local Governments as a partnership between equals.

Local Governments operate under an act of State Parliament.

A motion progressing the long-fought for goal of having Local Governments recognised in the Constitution was withdrawn following the recent referendum.

“The Commonwealth has the money, the States have the power and the Councils have the problem,” was said more than once during the event.

(These are my views and not necessarily those of Noosa Council.

OPINION

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Tug of war ‘not working’ This week while In Parliament, I was invited to be a guest speaker by the Australasian Study of Parliament Group on the topic ‘The Two-Party System – Past, Present, and the Future.’

Now before you flick the page to something a bit ‘juicier’, this is one of the most important topics to discuss, as you will understand further on.

Why? Because ultimately, every single aspect of our lives is being impacted by the ‘tug of war’ between political parties where ‘winning’ dominates over ‘collaborating’.

As I relayed on Monday night, as a society, we can only benefit from analysing how we can improve our governance and political systems, in order to deliver the best for Queensland.

Having spoken previously about the need, and fought now for four years, for a review of the current committee system, (we are nearly there!) I will not rehash except to say that it is essential to do this when your Parliament is unicameral and doesn’t have an Upper House.

This is especially true in the climate we are experiencing in the Queensland two party system, as well at a federal level, where more than ever, bipartisan agreements are needed.

To get that, appropriate processes that encourage consensus through negotiation are required.

We must reduce endless nonproductive cycles, where major legislation, projects or initiatives are brought in, to be overturned/ defunded at a change of government, then reverted back.

It’s costly, frustrating and a waste of time.

In addition, there needs to be a decrease in the devastation created by divisions in our communities and families as we saw during the pandemic, and with the Voice referendum.

This should always have been a bipartisan endeavour, never a ‘political football’ which, regardless of how you voted, was deemed disgraceful.

For Queensland, with the long process of Path to Treaty underway, which to clarify does not start actual negotiations nor give the Government any powers to implement a treaty as yet, may the focus be on bipartisanism and transparency as we are doing with the Youth Justice Reform Committee, which I am honoured to chair.

There are ways to improve the status quo on many fronts.

First, that much needed Committee review I mentioned previously to promote bipartisanship.

Second, increased capabilities of our public service sector which as I have advocated for, now has extra funding allocated for the Public Service Commission to address.

Both of these major contributors to poor outcomes and greater disengagement across our country are byproducts of our two-party system that was imported from the UK as was our constitution, which has no reference to parties.

Little thought seems to have been undertaken on how an improved system could be developed, then or since.

Hence, we continue to see the two-party battle played out in scenes reminiscent of old military tactics and worn out political strategy of ‘divide and conquer’.

Neither serve Queensland or Australia well any longer.

The COVID pandemic, and ongoing fallout, which is being demonstrated in multiple statistical realms, highlighted the importance of greater transparency, accountability, and stability in our governance.

Over 2 years of requests for a full inquiry to ensure we do not repeat the errors of the past have led to little response from any ‘colour’, with the Federal Government Independent

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton speaks on the Two-Party System – Past, Present, and the Future.

Inquiry being watered down.

As noted in the recently released book Locked-Up Country, this slide back to business as usual suggests that next time might not be different - with parties and governments reticent to take a deep look at their actions and what they could have done better because of the fear their opposition will attack them.

We see this every day, in every debate, decision and headline.

The authors then furthered that the demands of society need to be articulated and organised into a new democratic movement… that is more responsive to everyday citizen’s needs. Now what would that look like?

In addition, a fundamental restructuring that would involve building up the public service capacity instead of outsourcing to the private sector, to preempt, analyse, and plan longer into the future beyond an election cycle through bipartisan agreements to deliver surety.

That no level of government regardless of ‘colour’ and warnings acted to prevent our housing crisis, is just one example where the costs to our society keep rising through reactionary responses versus proactive governance, the usual blame game, and a lack of collaboration and bipartisanship.

Ultimately, there is an increasing call for political leaders to be accountable to their constituencies rather than state or nationwide political strategies and policies that are broad sweeping, making it easy for those elected to evade responsibility.

Over the last decade, we have seen a rise in women representatives, as well minor parties

and independents in both federal and state parliaments.

Customization is being sought by Queenslanders, whether to localities by communities of interest such as Katter Country, or to forward advocacies for specific interests such as the Shooter, Fisher and Farmers or Animal Justice parties as examples.

We also see electorates choosing MP’s to reflect their own community and assess each issue or piece of legislation in relation to their collective views, which for our electorate I call the ‘Noosa position’.

This has increased momentum from when independents such as Liz Cunningham in Gladstone 1995, Clover Moore in Sydney 2007, and Cathy McGowan in Indi 2010 were elected.

With seven teal independents at the last federal election, is this trend here to stay?

We can only hope so, and that Queenslanders and Australians continue to seek more from their representatives than a party ‘byline’ or policy, and that as a result, parties morph into alliances where their members vote in line with their community, versus a party position.

To quote Cathy McGowan’s Kitchen Table conversations.

“Each one of us can play a constructive part in lifting standards of behaviour, focusing on ideas and policies and strengthening the way we are represented.”

Ultimately, as Winston Churchill stated that it had been said, democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

Whether we move to a ‘new’ democracy as

referred to or not, we need greater transparency, accountability and responsibility, and not accepting ‘because’.

As I finished my speech with, we are at the cusp, who will join in? This is where a crystal ball would be handy.

Now to a couple of important messages before I go as we are coming into the Christmas period.

Our office is a collection point for Hope in a Suitcase, DV phones and a Christmas Wishing tree, so please drop off vouchers or items for dignity bags for our Noosa families in refuges by 30 November.

In addition, keep an eye out early December for our Annual Connect and Noosa MP Community Survey in your letterbox, which has lots of important information and updates.

As always, stay in the loop via subscribing to our newsletter at www.sandybolton.com/ newsletters which ensures you receive into your inbox Noosa specific surveys and polls.

And finally, with fire season here, please tell me you have prepared including your evacuation kits?!

If not, head right now to www.getready.qld. gov.au and yes, get ready! In addition, we have our Rural Fire brigades and SES needing volunteers, so head to www.qfes.qld.gov.au/joinour-team to sign up. If that is not quite to your liking, we have hundreds of organisations including Pomona Meals on Wheels needing YOU…so add your skills to make a real difference in our community.

Until next month, enjoy this small respite before the festive season starts as I have a feeling it will be more than busy!

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

The Pub Test PHIL JARRATT and a small circle of Friday arvo swillers discuss the consequences of the decisive vote against the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. (No prizes for guessing how the panel voted.)

Where do we go now?

First Bloke: Listening to No voters at the polls I kept hearing that, “they don’t want it in the Territory”. I think this was a major deciding factor for the undecided, the notion that Aboriginal people did not want this. It was a bald-faced lie, of course, but I wonder how many people who voted no because they believed stuff like that actually looked at the vote in the remote communities. Wherever, the First Nations’ vote was predominant, it was hugely for Yes. First Lady: Even looking at it by regions in the NT, in the booths where there was a significant percentage of First Nations, the Yes vote was well in the majority.

Ringleader: Most First Nations leaders in the Yes campaign were adamant from the start that it had the support of 80 per cent. Is that what you’re seeing from the remote vote?

Second Lady: Yes, very much so. The Guardian separated the booths and it was very clear for yes, mostly around 80 per cent. I think the direction of where to now has to be driven by First Nations people, but personally I’m grappling with what we can do. Yes, there were lies, yes there were opportunities to fact-check but people didn’t. That notion of voice, treaty, truth, how do we get Australians to address that again?

Ringleader: When you mention voice, treaty, truth, it struck me as odd that nowhere in the Yes campaign did I hear reference to the fact that the states have been working towards those goals quite successfully since the Uluru Statement. In fact, in the ACT where it’s already very advanced the vote was a no-brainer for Yes. SL: Yes, and South Australia paused their effort in the same direction so that it wouldn’t make the Federal waters murky, I suppose.

Ringleader: The Guardian has been following up this week with a state by state update on what will happen to their processes now, and it’s mainly good news, but the problem now is that already Queensland is looking dodgy in its commitment and NSW is faltering too.

Second Bloke: It’s a setback for sure and it says a lot about the political process and misinformation and how we’re going to deal with that in the future.

SL: I think we’ve missed out on an opportunity to stand side by side with First Nations people and start to become a more forward-thinking and more generous nation, but we’ve always been timid and scared, taking too much for granted. I know what a corrupt government looks like, and we don’t have one, so we should value it and do our homework on the important issues. I found that during the campaign you could sit down with people and if they had an open mind you could explain what was asked and what the benefits would be, and they would mostly say, oh that seems fair enough. I didn’t find the same thing at the booths, because by the time they got there, people were on a mission.

Ringleader: I don’t want to believe that 60 per cent of Australians are racist. I think that there may have been an element of ingrained racism in some decision-making, but the lies they were told gave them license to vote no with a clear conscience.

SB: That element was pretty clear in the discourse, in statements like, “I’ve lived with them.” What do you mean? “Oh, I lived with them for a month.” And you wonder, who is them?

FL: I had spat at me, “Have you been there?”

I asked where, but these people were going past on their hate train and they just shouted back, “You obviously haven’t been there!”

Ringleader: I suppose there’s a “them” and they come from “there”. That would explain it.

SL: I think the whole No campaign encouraged ignorance: If you don’t know, vote no.

And somehow this made the Yes campaign the voice of division.

42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 October, 2023

Yes vote campaigners at Peregian, July 2023.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

PM announcing the Voice referendum at CARMA in August 2022.

Pub test in readiness.

Ringleader: Which in electioneering terms was bloody brilliant, because it was exactly what it wasn’t.

SL: But it played to the idea that we’re all the same, and I think that goes back to the ideas behind assimilation. Take Noosa, for example. Here First Nations people and culture is almost nowhere to be found. Noosa Council built the Peregian Community Centre, which is a beautiful building, close to Emu Mountain, close to midden sites at the beach, close to Mt Coolum, all these connections that made it ideal to use as a First Nations art gallery, a place to tell the story. At least Tourism Noosa has created a welcome to country at their information centre. But again, this is for First Nations themselves to decide.

Ringleader: To go back to a point I raised earlier about how far down the track the states have travelled since the Uluru Statement, do you think this could have been used better by the Yes campaign?

SB: It’s a complex layering at state level because they deal with land issues, so just like what happened in 1994 when native title came on the program, you’re going to get noise like they’re going to take my land away.

That was heard to a degree in this campaign which is probably why Yes didn’t run more on the progress of the states. You can explain how land rights works, of course, but people aren’t looking for complexity. They want slogans.

FL: The information that was given to Yes campaigners emphasised be positive and keep the message simple, don’t engage with hard Nos. I don’t think you could say it was passive but the emphasis was on simplicity. At the start of the campaign I found that mostly we were explaining what the referendum was. I don’t think you could have a discussion about Lydia Thorpe in those situations.

SL: I think we have to keep in mind that 40 per cent of Australians voted yes to a really decent proposition, and what we found in Noosa was an amazing group of people who put their hands up to help with the campaign.

SL: I don’t have to be welcomed to my own country is a common response.

Ringleader: I get that some people will be offended, either quietly or noisily, but it’s been embraced by so many of our institutions now, do we really think a 60/40 No vote is going to wind back the clock that much?

FB: Yes, I do, because the agenda is assimilation now. We are one people now.

SB: If we’re going to get dystopian about the future, 15 years ago it was John Howard doing the intervention, and now it might be Jacinta Nampijinpa Price saying the kids aren’t safe here, we’re moving you to Alice Springs.

Ringleader: I wonder how many families have divided over this campaign.

SL: I know that most of my family voted No and I don’t know how to talk to them, to find my way back to them.

FL: In our family the Yes campaign actually drew us together. We were able to discuss all these big ideas in a positive way with our kids and my mum in a way we’d never done before.

But that was before the vote.

SB: I think if you feel let down by the democratic process then you’ve got maybe 1/100th of a taste of what Aboriginal people have been suffering their whole lives.

FB: I agree and I think we need to hold onto that feeling and keep it with us.

SB: Keep our stickers and our Yes shirts and just keep going.

FB: Maybe the message is, 40 per cent of us are with you, and we’re not going to give up.

We lost a battle, not the war.

SL: I think of how much Australians revere Anzac Day, which was an event of great loss.

I’m wondering if 14 October might become a moment of great loss that we turned around, and made it the moment everything changed.

The Uluru Statement From The Heart was a magnificent statement of holding out a hand.

We can’t lose that.

FB: And 40 per cent of Australia has taken that hand.

That group won’t go away and will be a strong resource for the future. I don’t think that existed in the same way before the Yes campaign, when there was a lot of silence on these issues, perhaps out of respect to the Kabi Kabi people, who had yet to voice their own opinions.

SB: I think some Kabi Kabi came forward, but a lot stayed on the side. As people I’ve spoken to have said, this was not a new thing. They’d been let down by government numerous times. They know there are good people out there, but there’s also an element of distrust, of caution.

FL: To be honest, I feel like we’ve been used by this whole campaign, which had far more to do with positioning ahead of the next Federal election than it did with First Nations issues. I feel they’ve used our hearts and souls and the majority of Australians have fallen for it. The proof is that 75 per cent of Australians supported Yes until the No campaign kicked in.

SL: I don’t think it was simply that, but you are right in seeing this as a test run for Trumpian campaigning with its slogans and lies.

FL: Do we have any information on the youth vote?

SB: Well, Briggs, the rapper, put some life into it right at the end with his conversation with two young girls. “What was the last thing you Googled?” (Laughter).

FL: The reason I bring that up is we need to get them fired up. I don’t know why they’re not angrier. We need activism from them, we need to get the Teals and the other independents on side.

SB: I think one of the reasons that youth don’t speak out more is they’re not part of the major demographic, and it’s easier to speak up when you’re part of the big mob, like at the football.

FB: One of the things that concerns me about the future is that maybe we’ll no longer have the acknowledgement and welcome to country.

FL: Well, I think there’s been some aggressive pushback about that for some time.

Fleur McDonald returns Bestselling author Fleur McDonald is back with Voices in the Dark, a powerful and poignant rural drama highlighting the complexity of family and misplaced trust.

Coming from Fleur’s own experience watching friends worry about their ageing parents, deciding who should care for them when they can no longer care for themselves and ensuring they are safe and happy, Voices in the Dark delves into unsettling territory, when the worst fears of every child who entrusts their parent’s care to someone else becomes a haunting reality.

Sassi Stapleton is called home after receiving news that her grandmother is unwell.

Less than an hour away from her hometown, Barker, she swerves to miss a roo and her car rolls down an embankment. By the time she is found, her grandmother has already passed away. Sassi’s mother, Amber, returns from South Africa, and as soon as she arrives family tensions between her and her brother, Abe, are at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

It quickly becomes clear that Sassi’s grandfather Mr Stapleton is unable to live alone, so the hunt is on to find him a carer. Rasha enters the family home, firmly entrenching herself as someone they can’t do without, and before long Mr Stapleton is happier than he has been in years.

Then, however, bruises start appearing on Mr Stapleton and he becomes withdrawn, refusing to talk, even to Sassi. The family are convinced that Rasha wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Amber is his daughter; Sassi, his granddaughter. None of these three could hurt Mr Stapleton. Or could they?

Voices in the Dark is a story about family, the lengths that people go to protect those they love and sometimes, to a fault, themselves.

Written by the master of rural suspense, Fleur’s latest book looks at the ways families change over time and the pressing issues of caring for the aged and elder abuse.

Voices in the Dark by Fleur McDonald Fleur McDonald has lived and worked on farms for much of her life. After growing up in the small town of Orroroo in South Australia, she became a jillaroo before spending 20 years farming 8000 acres, east of Esperance, WA. Fleur likes to write about strong women overcoming adversity, drawing inspiration from her own experiences in rural Australia.

She is the best-selling author of over 20 books and two eBook exclusives. Fleur currently lives in Esperance with her two children and an energetic kelpie.

Fleur McDonald will speak about Voices in the Dark at Cooroy Library, 9 Maple St, Cooroy on Wednesday 8 November from 1.30–2.30pm.

Marc and Milly will provide a bush tucker puppet show with characters from witchetty grubs to worms.

Kin Kin Market’s Anna Poteri said Kin Kin had a really good feel to it and that the area had a heritage of bush tucker.

The primary school is at the heart of the community and grows its own fruit and vegetables. It runs a school kitchen for the tuck shop from the produce they pick.

The school is one of the regular stallholders at the market, which runs from 8am-midday on Kin Kin oval.

The Bush Tucker theme follows on from the successful Artists Market on the first Sunday in October.

Hatz Fitz and Cara ready to perform Local legends Hatz Fitz and Cara are among Australia’s most talented roots artists and will be bringing their authentic brand of ‘convict blues’ to headline a very special night of music at Pomona’s Memorial School of Arts hall on Friday 27 October.

Before fusing her soulful voice Cara Robinson will first be taking to the stage to host a songwriter round with fellow singer-songwriters, TOBiAS, Sari Abbott and Kate Marian Rose.

Songwriters in the Round is a unique musical experience for the performers and the audience alike with each artist having an opportunity to talk about the stories and processes behind their songs.

Robinson said there was something to be said about sharing your ideas and experiences with like-minded souls.

“If you are interested in how songs come together, or you simply want to enjoy the music, then do come please along,” she said.

Presented by Pomona Music Collective, Songwriters in the Round is an opportunity to showcase local talent, to celebrate the craft that is song-making and to bring the community together for a fantastic night of live music.

“This is the first of hopefully many concerts we [Pomona Music Collective] will be hosting in the beautiful town of Pomona, it’s an opportunity to bring the community together in a special environment to celebrate not just music but also the beautiful town we love so dearly,” Tobias said.

This inspiring theatre show, Coal Miner’s Daughter, was a smash hit at the 2023 Tamworth Country Music Festival and played to packed theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane throughout 2022/2023, as well as regional centres.

Coal Miner’s Daughter celebrates the incredible life of the late great Loretta Lynn, from her early days in the hills of Kentucky to her tempestuous marriage, tragic losses and enduring bonds with such luminaries as Patsy Cline, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, across a stellar career, til her final send off to country music heaven in October 2022.

“We are so thrilled to bring Coal Miner’s Daughter, celebrating the life of Loretta Lynn, to Pomona, especially the iconic Majestic Theatre. It’ll be the perfect backdrop for the audience to step back in time and pretend they’re in the Grand Ole Opry,“ Poulton said.

“Pomona and surrounds will love the songs and antidotes of one of country music’s most beloved female artists who blazed a trail for women like me to perform on stage. She was a cheeky, risque woman who didn’t mind ruffling the feathers of the music industry, which I love.

“Her songs are terribly funny but also at times disturbingly honest with titles like, “don’t come home a’drinkin with loving on your mind“ and “you ain’t woman enough to take 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 October, 2023

“Being on stage as Loretta is the most electrifying feeling and when I get to introduce Loretta’s best friend and country music legend Patsy Cline to the stage, I get to see the faces of the audience light up. Everyone loves Patsy and not forgetting Conway Twitty who Loretta enjoys several duets with during the show.

“The theatre show shines a light on the incredible life of Loretta Lynn but also touches on the enduring friendship with Patsy Cline, until her tragic death & also features songs by Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Willie Nelson, Conway Twitty and more. It really is a not to be missed show.

“It is one year since her entry into Country Music Heaven and in a goosebump moment, while we were on stage for our opening night of the Coal Miner’s Daughter 2022 tour, Loretta was passing away at her home in Tennessee.

Amber Joy Poulton plays Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner’s Daughter at Pomona.

Gone Fishing

Tackle World Noosa

Anglers feel the winds

A very nice golden trevally from Noosa River fishing safaris.

Good crabs are on the move in most river and creek systems and the key to catching a feed is fresh bait.

Fresh whole mullet, tuna chunks, or even better is some fish frames from your most recent catch - all will work.

Don’t forget they must be 150mm across the carapace and you can only take the bucks.

The barra have been on the chew in Monduran and Awoonga.

General Classifieds V

These warmer conditions and northerly breezes are ideal for concentrating the fish on the southern points.

Larger white soft plastics have been working well but the number one lure has been the Molix shad in the 140mm size.

Reports have seen plenty of metre-plus fish coming from both dams.

On the beaches it has all been about getting out early or fishing into the night.

The strong breezes through the day have made it pretty much impossible to fish.

Reports from around the new moon was there was plenty of jewfish action up towards Double Island.

The fish haven’t been big with only a few legal ones.

Sharks are also becoming more prevalent with a lot of anglers that are fishing big baits for jewfish ending up with small bronzies.

If you want to get the kids on the beach, then fishing the protected waters around Double Island is your best bet.

In the Mary the water levels have really started to drop and with the warmer temperatures the bass have started to come on.

Areas down stream from the weir have been the best bet with the best results coming from those on kayaks.

Frog profile soft plastics have been working well along with spinner baits and small vibe style lures.

For all the latest information, log onto www.fishingnoosa.com.au for up-to-date bar and fishing reports and don’t forget to drop into Gympie’s Newest tackle store “The tackle Shop”, Tackle World Noosa, and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and remember Tight Lines and Bent Spines.

For those in larger craft there were a few opportunities for an early morning run, but the winds really started to pick up mid-morning, so most were back at the ramp by 10am.

It was the closer reef where most of the action was so areas like Sunshine Reef were popular for those heading out of Noosa.

Speaking of Noosa, the bar is a bit of a zig zag at the moment so check out some of the footage on Fishing Noosa Facebook page for a better idea where to cross.

It’s that time of the year where we see the start of those small marlin up around the top end of Hervey Bay. Reports are there was some large black marlin caught and released off the brake sea spit and out off K’gari, with one fish reported to be well over 300kg.

In the river and creeks, it has been all about the jacks.

It is definitely one of the best starts to the mangrove jack seasons we have seen in a while.

Plenty of fish have been caught in Kauri Creek and now Carlo Creek is really starting to fire up.

If you just want to put fish in the boat, then live bait is the way to go.

A tip for those of you that love the sport, then red soft plastics or hard body lures thrown deep into the mangroves is great fun.

Thunder teams in control

By Randall Woodley Last weekend all the Thunder Club’s senior teams played the first day of their two-day matches and most are in strong positions for wins next Saturday.

FIRST GRADE: The team travelled to Caboolture to take on last year’s premiers the Snakes to be greeted by a good wicket and a fast outfield. Winning the toss the visitors batted first and put on one of the best displays of batting by a Thunder team for some years.

The two openers, Sam Baker (29) and Andy Batten (26) set the foundations for a huge score. After they were dismissed Ben Claypole(38) and the skipper Michael Eckard (65) came to the crease and looked comfortable manipulating bowlers and field with positive cricket shots. The top four batters felt they left runs out in the middle, but the next batter did not. Later Jarrod Officer admitted “He had not been hitting them well so far this season”, but on Saturday he put this reference behind him. The Caboolture bowlers had no answers for his 136 with timely drives and big sixes. He scored his runs off 122 balls with sixteen 4s and four 6s. At the other end, veteran Andrew Kratzmann cruised to 71 not out barely taking a risk and placing the ball into gaps with some effortless stroke play. He looked set for a 100 but the team decided to have a crack at the Snakes’ tired players and the captain declared at 5 for 393 after some late clean hitting from Copper Lea (24 no).

Both of Thunder openers bowled really well creating chances with Zac Murray taking two wickets to have them 2-16 runs at stumps. This was a great day for the Thunder boys and they will finish the match next Saturday.

Next Sunday, October 29 the semi-finals and the final of the T20 competition will be played at Maroochydore’s Ground. TewantinNoosa are leading the table and are confident of bringing home the trophy.

SECOND GRADE: The team were at Read Park and fielded first against the Caboolture Snakes on Day 1 of their match. Confidence was high with the return of a number of players, includ-

U13A Henry Blackwell bowls for Thunder. ing captain Tristan Griffin, veteran Robbie Payton and Tyron De Kauwe. Opening bowlers Tyron and Chris Berry started well with Tyron picking up a wicket early. Young guns Luke Smalley and Oliver Wilson followed suit with some scintillating spells. Jarred Davis also bowled well with turn and bounce, picking up two wickets of his own. Caboolture were eventually bowled out for 157 off 50 overs. Best bowling figures- Ollie Wilson 4-29, Luke Smalley 2-11, and Jarred Davis 2-25.

Thunder had to face 22 overs before stumps.

After losing two early wickets, captain Tristan Griffin (22 no) and young Finn Mayo played out the remaining overs to have the home side 2 for 47 at stumps, 110 runs in arears and setting up an exciting run chase next week!

THIRD GRADE: The Fallon Electrical Third Graders were at home against USC last Saturday. They won the toss and decided to bat - Brendan Wright and Steven Hill started well until Hill was out with the score on 42. His partner Wright was out for 32 and soon after the team were struggling somewhat on what appeared to be a good wicket.

Enter teenager Rory Ramsden and experienced Daniel Cooke. Rory had scored an unbeaten 80 in junior cricket on the same wicket that morning and simply just kept going. Daniel worked with Rory and together they put on nearly a hundred to place Thunder back in the box seat. Rory fell for 42 and then Daniel for 73 - both with faultless innings. Farran Cooke (32 n.o.) and Luke Anstey (19 n.o.) batted to stumps with Thunder on 6-265 and setup to have a good crack next week.

FOURTH GRADE: On Day 1 of their match against Landsborough, at their ground the Thunder boys batted first. After losing a few early wickets the innings was steadied and then built by Jeremy Holland (38) and returning player Bob McGhee (86). A solid knock from Dave Baker (18*) along with a quickfire 18 from Bailey Hozier gave great support and the innings finished on 192.

Thunder turned to the old guard to open the bowling and Bob McGhee (2/22) and Anthony Blackwell were spot on. Bailey Hozier then came into the attack and bowled with great maturity and consistency. The fielding was great, especially Alek Dillewaard who conservatively saved 20 plus runs turning certain

boundaries to dot balls. Landsborough finished the day on 2-57 and with the game in the balance, early wickets will be needed next week.

UNDER17s: The team were at Maroochydore on Day 1 of their match against the Swans.

Losing the toss, they were asked to bowl first.

Welcomed into the team for this match were Eddie Smith and Bryce Bawden from the Under 15s’.

The batting innings for Maroochydore was very good and they ended up on 260.

TNT put in some very good fielding and bowling efforts with Oliver Wilson taking 3-44 off 11 and 2 wickets each to Morgan Avery and Cooper Withers. Finn Mayo and Max Joyce rounding out our innings with a wicket each.

The Swans captain scored a well-earned 153.

It was a good team effort today on a hot morning in the field and the team are still confident that with sensible batting next weekend, they can get over the line.

UNDER 15s: The team were playing University at Dale Officer Oval and elected to bat first.

Openers Aedan Mayo (33) and Ben Blackwell (67) made a great start with the first wicket falling on 99. Innings of the day to Rory Ramsden (80). Fenn Peddie (30) supported well. The Thunder finished on 5-306. A strong total but one that will require good bowling and fielding next week in order to win the match.

WOMEN’S GRADE: The Women’s team travelled to Caboolture for their first game of the season. The result did not go their way but there were a few positives to take away. One of their new players Talei, took a wicket with her first ball in her very first game of cricket; next over she took two more and was on a hatrick, finishing with the very respectable figures of 3-14 off four overs.

Between The Flags Ron Lane

Ava Gooderham came in second in the U14 Ironman event

Niamh Arthur won first place in the U15 ironman contest at Rainbow Beach.

Zac Heffernan came second in the U14 ironman and Jake Bauer was first in the board race.

The first surf boat carnival is one that coaches and crews are eager to attend.

Coolangatta brings gold From inside the world of competitive Surf Lifesaving comes the major events, the Coolangatta Gold and the Nutri Grain Iron Man. Each and every year these events are up for grabs and to finish in the top three places in the men’s and women’s is the ultimate.

However, when the medals are presented and the media is happy, it is then that the clubs conduct a down to earth performance assessment of both the individual and team events.

Conducted by those who understand all aspects, the results will give them a good and encouraging feeling for the seasons ahead.

In other words, the most important factor of all comes to the forefront in all ages and disciplines: recognition and consolidation of the talent and the planning for the future.

What could be a better grounding than the Coolangatta Gold.

With this in mind the Noosa Heads SLSC sent a large contingent (including the nippers) to the recent iconic Coolangatta Gold: short course events Saturday and long course Sunday.

The Saturday short course (21 kms) featured two of Noosa’s young gun teams, who had to compete in the open male category due to the age requirement for the ski paddler.

Both were up against some of the best ski and board paddlers in the country and out of a total of 25 teams, our two finished in 8th and 12th. In the short course individual, our master athletes once again performed well with Belinda Marsh winning gold in the 5059 female and in the same category male, Wes Greene won gold and Ian Martin bronze. In the short course events Noosa had 5 athletes contest the individual and 3 teams.

Also, on the Saturday events the Nippers ‘’Youth Challenge ‘’ saw a bronze medal go to Noosa’s Hendrick Marsh in the final of the U/11 iron man. Following this Hendricks big sister Kaiya Marsh finished an incredible 4th in a big field for the final of the open Downwind Paddle, a newly introduced 12km ski race.

This was a very impressive result as it was Kaiya’s first year as a U19 competitor.

Sunday for the long course was calm and hot with tough conditions on the course, no wind or sea assistance. In the elite male and female, we had one compete in each: in the male Jayden Morrow, contesting his first Gold, finished in 12th place(out of a field of 27) and in the female, our defending champion, Carla Papac finished 5th.

In the gruelling long course event, we had two masters compete. In the 50-age category Noosa’s James Marsh won the gold and a second gold went to import Jean Luc in the 60 plus.

Director of Surf Sports Alan Rogers said, “Overall, it was a great weekend in this gruelling event: remembering for a lot of our young, it was their first Coolangatta Gold.”

It is often said that a great foundation for a good surf club is without a doubt, the family environment. When this does occur, it is indeed something to be proud of and acknowledged. It is without a doubt a major factor in creating that most vital and important character of a good surf club: pride, tradition and mateship.

This Coolangatta Gold has shown us that 50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 October, 2023

The highlight of the day for Noosa was contesting their first ever race in the new Netanya boat.

Noosa Boat Captain Adam Hammersley said they were very happy with the crew’s performance.

With a row all the way, by days end all boat crews get a rude awakening as to their standard of fitness.

There were some 50 plus crews registered from all up the Queensland coast for the surf boat carnival.

At this time in the season the possibility of a good wave is indeed very rare: all crews know, flat surf and row all the way.

another possible family tradition could be on the way. The outstanding contribution made by the Marsh family should be noted and acknowledged with Woogie Marsh (nipper coach) , son Hendrick, nipper U/11 iron man and daughter Kaiya U/19 (first ever Coolangatta Gold) in ski final.

The fact that a large contingent of nippers (under coach Woogie Marsh) travelled to Coolangatta for the Saturday Youth Challenge, speaks volumes for the future, so a big well done to Alan Rogers Director of Surf Sports, Head Coach Darren Mercer and Nipper Coach Woogie Marsh.

Sunshine Beach Over the hill at Sunshine Beach our fellow clubbies travelled to Rainbow Beach for their annual carnival which was held on Saturday.

The 88 strong youth team performed well to finish in 3rd place overall. This is their best result in many a long season, and it finally shows that they are close to matching it with the two biggest clubs on the coast Alexandra Headlands and Mooloolaba.

Training under Sunshine Beach Head Coaches, husband and wife duo, Wes and Jade Berg both the senior and junior teams continue to become stronger day by day.

It is now eighteen months since their arrival at Sunshine and the growth and development of a wonderful culture, enjoyment and team spirit is starting to produce outstanding athletes and results.

Head Coach Wes Berg said, “I could not be

happier with the first carnival results of the season and how the squad is progressing. It is wonderful to see all the kids pre season hard work pay off as they have put in a wonderful effort. Most important of all the moral of the team is high and everyone is looking forward to the carnival season.

Under beach coach Pauline Gleeson the team had a great day with Mils Jones winning the u/13 beach flags and 2nd in the beach sprint: and Mils was backed up by sister Aalia who finished in 2nd place in the U15 sprint and flags.

Other outstanding results are: Naimh Arthur U15, 1st in the iron man, third in the board race, Jake Bauer U14 board race 1st and 3rd in the surf race. Under 14 iron Ava Gooderham 2nd, Zac Heffernan U14 2nd iron man and surf race. Under 13 Tallow Crouch 3rd in the board race and 2nd in the surf race. Ollie Thompson 3rd u/13 board race and 3rd in the iron, and for Liam Wright u/12, it was 1st in both the board and the iron man.

Relay results for Sunshine were also the best ever.

Surf boats On Saturday morning 9am the gun was fired on Noosa’s Main Beach to herald in the 2023/24 season of surf boat racing. This carnival, which was sponsored by Megabeam Gleam Beams, has become an annual event one that coaches and crews are eager to attend: reason being the surf conditions. At this time in the season the possibility of a good wave is indeed very rare:

all crews know, flat surf and row all the way.

For the crews that are serious about their sport, these conditions are perfect. With a row all the way, by days end they get a rude awakening as to their standard of fitness. For all crews, in particular the rookies, this is of the utmost importance.

For the day there were some 50 plus crews registered from all up the Queensland coast: weather was perfect, as was the sea conditions for this time of the year. One of the highlights of the day was the performance of the Marcoola crew. With a club that is completely new to the sport it was good to see them on the winner’s dais, receiving a medal.

The host club was represented by 6 crews: U19 mens who finished 4th in the final, a great performance. In the women’s U19, two crews, with one winning a silver medal and the second crew finishing 4th.

For the U17 and U23s boys it was for them their first ever race. ‘’Being the rookies and having to row in the flat, it was definitely a great learning experience,” said Boat Captain Adam Hammersley. “However, we were very happy with their performance.” For the masters crew it was a hard day at the office and they were happy to make dry sand.

The highlight of the day for Noosa was contesting their first ever race in the new Netanya boat: and the smile on the faces of the crew at the finish, said it all. “A great boat and thank you Netanya.”

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Boards for the ‘Nam boys Trolling through my old hard drives looking for a particular shot from the 1960s on a surfless, devil wind spring day last week, I rediscovered a photo that says so much about my long ago misspent youth which was largely spent avoiding any kind of responsibility while revelling in the newfound joys of the surfing lifestyle.

I promptly lost the next few hours to a search through old books and magazines and archive boxes full of cuttings kept since I was first published in a surfing magazine 54 years ago.

But the picture that sparked so many memories was not a hero surf shot of a silky Midget cutback or Scotty Dillon plunging down the face of the Bare Island bommie. It was a shot of a group of middle-aged blokes in sharp suits, handing over a bunch of surfboards to an army officer.

Now the property of the Australian War Memorial, it was probably taken by the tea lady at Sydney’s Victoria Barracks, but if you’re around my vintage you would have first seen it in the back pages of Jack Eden’s Surfabout magazine in August 1966. The blokes in suits were Australia’s leading surfboard manufacturers, all based on Sydney’s northern beaches and later known as the Brookvale Six, then riding the crest of the first surfboard boom. The guy in the foreground, shaking hands with Colonel Peter Tancred, acting Army chief of staff, is Denis McDonagh, the business brother at McDonagh Surfboards, standing in for shy shaper Greg.

Spread left to right behind them are Lance Platt, Australia’s first boardshorts manufacturer, Denny Keogh, Scott Dillon (obscured), surf retailer Bob Brewster, Gordon Woods, Bill Wallace and Barry Bennett. What a wonderful lineup of rogues, rascals and absolute heroes!

When the magazine appeared I remember showing the page to my dad, with whom I was having a weekly row about whether catching the right tide and getting ahead of the nor’easter should be a higher priority than mowing the lawn, presenting it as proof positive that not all surfers were peroxide-haired bums. Since the Brookvale Six all looked like him on his way to Rotary, he could only agree.

These were the dying days of the Menzies’ era, with Harold Holt now echoing the platitudes of his former boss, and while we still only had troops on the ground in Vietnam as “logistics advisors”, within a matter of months Holt would have gone “all the way with LBJ”, sparking frontline deployments for our boys and fiery protests on the home front.

In the meantime, however, the logistics advisors had time on their hands and the Army had asked for the industry to do their bit and send them surfboards.

I’d written about this briefly in a surfing history, but our late friend and true Noosa local Stuart Scott had filled in the gaps in 2009 in a great little book called Charlie Don’t Surf – But Aussies Do. Stuart covered not only the donation of $500 worth of mals, boardshorts and a kneeboard, but the surf culture that subsequently grew around the Peter Badcoe Club on the back beach at Vung Tau, once the Task Force officer in charge had announced on 6 September 1966: “Units are advised that a limited number of surfboards are available for loan from the Australian R and C centre.”

Despite the presence of sea snakes and the rude interruptions of the Vietcong, Aussies continued to rule the waves at Back Beach until the end of the war a decade later.

One of my favourite lines in the book comes from the inimitable Scotty Dillon, who told Stuart: “I can’t even remember where I got that suit from. I remember I had one when I got married, but from then on I just wore board shorts and thongs”.

When Shaun Cairns and I made the Foxtel documentary Men of Wood and Foam in 2016, all of the Brookvale Six were alive. Now Denny Keogh is the sole survivor, but the famous brands live on.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, house with pool, sheds, on 6717sq m at 211 Eumarella Rd, Weyba Downs, goes to auction Saturday, 4 November, at 1pm.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence with a totally seamless connection to the north-facing massive undercover alfresco entertaining terrace, and luminescent pool was sold for $2.4m.

“The buyers, relocating from Sydney, are so excited and looking forward to wandering down to the river for their morning coffee,’’ Chris said.

TIMELESS APPEAL It’s been quite the year in the Noosa hinterland as buyers seek lifestyle and the family benefits of living in a rural community.

Jeanette Catalano of Hinternoosa said that from mid-year there was some hesitancy due to constant interest rate rises. That led to a shortage of properties with fresh listings selling.

Now Jeanette and Mario Catalano have a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car Queenslander circa 1910 at 18 Miva St, Cooroy, they are taking to auction Friday, 3 November, at 11am.

With heated pool and on 1012sq m, everyone who drives past will fall in love with it, Jeanette said.

“It’s a classic, full of romantic appeal.

The first week saw 56 groups through … that’s an incredible response.

“Interest is coming from everywhere, including those locally who have always admired the property and are seriously considering it.

“Some have sold recently and are wishing the auction was this week.

“There are people are on their way up to inspect.’’

With all the character of yesteryear the

feeling of being in town, but you are.

“It’s one of the great streets in Cooroy.’’

ONE TO LOOK OUT FOR Hinternoosa’s Kess Prior and Jeanette Catalano have a four-bedroom house on 1ha in 228 Lonehand Rd, Eumundi, scheduled for auction on Friday, 17 November, at 2pm.

“It’s a stunning home on a beautiful 2.5 acres,’’ Jeanette said, “one of the addresses on the range, but it will be affordable.

“It encompasses the hinterland lifestyle, with three bathrooms, pool and shed.’’

NATIONAL PARK AT BACK DOOR Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate has a rare offering at Little Cove he is taking to auction Saturday, 28 October - a large three-bedroom apartment close to the beach.

With two bathrooms and one car-parking area, 4/7 Mitti St, Noosa Heads, goes to the market at 2pm.

“People are surprised at how much space there is in the living area,’’ Luke said. “It could be your home … the proportions are big enough.’’

There are 12 apartments in the Naousa II complex, which has close proximity to the gates of Noosa National Park gates.

Mitti St provides a lovely treed walk on the fringes of the park.

Interest has included past guests at Naousa II, Luke said.

“People who have known it since the early ’80s and been going there since they were kids.

“Other interest is mainly interstate and people who love Little Cove.’’

traditional timber home was built on the fully-serviced town block, and comes with an iconic hip roof as well as white picket fence.

Held for 17 years, wide timber steps lead up to the verandah and an entry framed by an old wisteria vine.

Stunning original features include VJ walls and extra-high timber ceilings, French doors, breezeway details, and superb timber floors. Other qualities are airconditioning and solar panels.

All bedrooms are spacious - the main with a walk-in robe and a luxury ensuite that opens out to a private deck and tropical garden view.

Upgrades in recent years have seen the remodel of the main bathroom/laundry, and a dramatic increase the size of the family lounge room.

The kitchen connects to the dining area as well as the spacious, covered outdoor deck. It is highlighted by Caesarstone benchtops, soft-close drawers, gas cooking and an electric oven, while the servery connects to the outdoor area.

Split-level outside, the timber deck joins to another great outdoor space complete with high bar and built-in barbecue.

Fenced at the rear, the property features direct access from the lane through a remote-controlled gate. This provides easy access to a double carport, with space for a boat or caravan.

From the back of the property you can see Mt Cooroora, Black Mountain and Cooran Tableland, as well as the top of Cooroy Mountain.

PRIVATE, PEACEFUL LOCATION Renovated from top to bottom from 20152018, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, house with pool, sheds, on 6717sq m at 211 Eumarella Rd, Weyba Downs, goes to auction Saturday, 4 November, at 1pm.

Heidi Woodman at David Berns Real Estate said those inspecting the property especially like the gardens, how the home is so light and airy, and the location which is very quiet and peaceful.

“Given the quality of the renovations, there is not much that needs doing,’’ Heidi said.

Fully fenced and landscaped, and a short walk to the lake, the immaculately maintained property is aptly named Bush to Beach Retreat. It offers a sense of space usually restricted to country living.

The beautifully-presented house features a huge undercover entertaining deck and saltwater in-ground swimming pool, a 24-panel solar installation, dam, bore and fire pit.

The original home was built in 1995 complete with high raked ceilings and wellproportioned rosewood and teak-framed windows.

The home now boasts a kitchen filled with natural light, stone tops, large pantry, push-close cabinetry, soft-close drawers and a bank of bi-fold windows opening to the outdoor entertaining area.

There is a fireplace, split system airconditioning and ceiling fans throughout.

As well as the two-bay, steel-framed shed there is a large carport and highclearance carport for caravan or boat.

Together with a 7m by 4m storage shed plus 4m by 3m shade house, there are raised veggie beds and fruit trees.

A dam offers boardwalk, jetty and an open shelter complete with power and lighting.

HOME FOCUS

IS YOUR DESTINY ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT? IMAGINE having unimpeded views to the north from the headland of the Noosa National Park, sweeping north-easterly across Sunshine Beach and the Coral Sea, and stretching 180-degrees south to Mooloolaba. What about forgetting the alarm and waking to waves breaking on the foreshore, grabbing the kids, board and pooch and heading 40-metres via a dedicated access to the dazzling white sand and best surf breaks.

Your destiny is entirely possible when the beach house, which has been loved by the same family for more than 30 years, is poised in dunes right on the beachfront of one of the most illustrious streets in Sunshine Beach... many say Queensland.

Blessed with many of the original classic Queenslander characteristics such as white weatherboard and shutters also mature banksias in the garden, the lightfilled residence is always in a sunny mood.

The upper-level features capacious living and dining spaces with beautiful polished timber floors, lofty vaulted ceiling, woodburning fireplace, sunroom with upper height shutters on three sides and of course ubiquitous fans.

Slide away the banks of doors to the timber terrace which extends the width of the house and is elevated to fully embrace the lofty perch looking over the glittering Coral Sea. Don’t be surprised to see whales breaching, paragliders chasing tail winds and stoked board riders.

Breakfast with a side of ocean views?

Yes, even from the large kitchen with white stone-topped cabinetry and premium appliances.

Also, with those magical Coral Sea views and on this level is the main bedroom with shutters, built-in robes, ensuite with bathtub and access to the terrace.

Entertaining options indoors and out continue downstairs with the major space being a living/studio combo or alternatively

a leisure space for all seasons and reason especially with an undercover terrace overlooking the rear garden with bird attracting grevilleas and she-oaks, and beyond to the beach and breakers. Two additional bedrooms have built-ins, one opens to the terrace plus there are two bathrooms, one doubling as a laundry.

There is also a store room and a separate side entrance.

“There is so much to love about living in a true beach house in the front row of Seaview Terrace, with nothing but the sand and sea in front,” says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tim McSweeney. “It scales the heights of desirability, connects to the beauty of the surrounds, plus waking to the sound of birdsong and the surf as well as watching dawn send shimmering rays over the Coral Sea, are all truly mesmerising.

“On a fitness level why not mix it with

pleasure by walking to Noosa Heads via Alexandria Bay in the Noosa National Park, similarly vibrant Sunshine Beach village with its popular restaurants, cafes and bars.”

ON THE COVER

EXPLOSIVE 180-DEGREE CORAL SEA VIEWS BRIGHT blue like a cloudless sky in Sunshine Beach, Azure is a multi-awardwinner on a global scale by avantgarde designer Chris Clout. Reach for five-stars and more with explosive 180-degree views sweeping the sapphire Coral Sea from the Noosa National Park along the coastline to Mooloolaba and beyond.

Inspired by nature, specifically a prized sand dune, the inspired residence embraces and advances the idyllic subtropical vernacular as well as living la vida luxe with those unsurpassed, never to be interrupted views, even from day beds, which seemingly float on the dazzling viridescent, marble mosaic-tiled infinity pool.

First impressions, from an eye-catching grey metal laser-cut façade, exotic pond with glass wall of water, and stupendous glass doors opening into an uber elegant foyer, to a designer hand-blown crystal droplet chandelier, count for everything.

Stealing the limelight however is beyond expectation. Pillarless with double storey voids are immeasurable spaces with a bright white (and of course blue) palette, endless Italian Carrara marble floors, mirrored surfaces, also walls of glass which disappear in an extraordinary fashion to coalesce naturally with the state-of-the-art alfresco crystal white marble pool terrace.

Admire class, bespoke design and provenance in the living spaces such as sumptuous linen-covered sofas, integrated fireplace, hideaway smart television, silk rugs, accessories, artwork, tactile Venetian plaster, glass dining table, white leather chairs plus Italian ten-candle stainless steel chandelier.

Commensurate with everything oversized and sophisticated, is the awardwinning creamy-white stone topped kitchen with bespoke cantilevered island/breakfast bar, mirror splashback, ultra-latest Vzug appliances, also a butler’s pantry and a wall of cabinetry housing a bar, wine fridge and more. The consummate entertainer will be very impressed especially knowing every accoutrement is on hand, and alfresco on the pool terrace is an outdoor kitchen and a lounge area, where pre-lunch drinks watching whales returning south or frolicking dolphins, is de rigueur.

When it comes to dream time or waking to waves breaking on the foreshore, there are five over-sized bedrooms with plush carpet, custom-made bedheads,

sumptuous finishes, and designer bed linen. The super-sized main suite, just like a penthouse is on the top level, yet feels like a ritzy spa, has a fashionista-style walk-in robe/dressing room, a stunning bathroom with free-standing stone bathtub and a shower with a panorama window, and panoramic views to complement. Floor to ceiling doors open to the private terrace with daybed, garden, triple water feature and a spa to drink in more mesmerising views of the ocean and along the seaboard.

Downstairs are four large bedrooms; two have ensuites and walk-in robes; two share a bathroom and have built-in robes; and one has a window to the pool underwater.

Nearby is a media room, a leisure space and a cellar.

All bathrooms have Thassos lustre marble mosaic tiles, Italian Gessi tapware double LED rainwater showers, and custommade stone wash planes.

This is indisputable luxury on tap, and the future owner need only bring a toothbrush and a suitcase. Everything else has been taken care of, from custom furniture and curated artworks to towels by the pool, crockery in the kitchen, and linen on the bed. Enough to make you sigh.

“For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle, there is only one Azure,“ enthuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann and principal Tom Offermann who are taking the property to auction on Saturday 4 November 2023. “This is the ultimate beachside sanctuary, so pack your bags and be ready to feel like you’re floating on a cloud in the absolute paradise of Sunshine Beach.

“Azure is the aspiration of many yet rarely available, so the future value of this white-hot prized address in the muchrevered location of Sunshine Beach, considered the Holy Grail by many, will always be underpinned.“ Facts & Features: House Area: 571m2 Land Area: 653m2 Pool & Terraces: 6mx11m infinity edge w 2 dble day beds/10mx5.3m terrace w custom built lounge area & outdoor kitchen w Smeg BBQ; level 1 - 5.2mc9m w custom daybed, lawn & water feature Design/Build: Chris Clout Design; engineered full concrete construction; in collaboration w Glen & Deborah Watson Building & Design About: Italian Carrara marble floors;

beach. Alternatively, head north to explore the national park and Alexandria Bay, with picturesque coastal walks leading to the vibrant Hastings Street in Noosa.
