Farming has been depicted as the ideal lifestyle - working among nature in beautiful countrysides. However, there are significant challenges to overcome and ERLE LEVEY was at the Agvention 2025 field day to hear how modern-day regenerative farmers are coping with the changing landscape.
Farming brings with it pleasure and pain - the pleasure of being your own boss, working in the landscape, enjoying sunrises and sunsets, relishing the fresh, nutritious produce shared with family.
Yet it also brings the pain of hard work, long hours, changeable weather conditions and uncertain markets, as well as financial stress.
The 2025 Agvention field day for regenerative farming at Kandanga saw a quality line-up of guest speakers from as far as North Queensland and as far south as Tasmania talk about the three important aspects of running a business - people, profit and planet.
They stressed the need to look after each one of these key points as without one, the others fall over.
What became apparent was the common thread from all speakers of how regenerative agriculture could change the battles and challenges of their existing strategies in farming.
They also need a certain level of resilience and persistence in achieving their goals over a longer term. Regenerative farming is a marathon, not a sprint.
The benefits of regen ag are not always related to financial profitability but to other important priorities in their lives, including the health of their family and the values they share for sus-
Noosa Show shines

The Barnes family of Black Mountain decided for the first time this year to enter their goods in the cooking, flowers and arts and crafts sections of the Noosa Country Show and their efforts were richly rewarded with a swag of winning ribbons to take home.
Mum Sally, who submitted her own entry in the preserves section, said her children Ruby, Josie, Mia and Jarrah had put in a major effort to prepare and create entries which included bread, chocolate cake, knitted socks, crocheted poncho and flower arrangements from homegrown flowers.

tainable farming practices that will look after the planet and future generations.
“What came through for me today was the emphasis on the value of collaboration and cooperation that is needed amongst farmers in these modern times,’’ University of the Sunshine Coast business lecturer Dr Melissa Innes said.
Dr Innes’ research focuses on the value of knowledge sharing and network benefits of collaboration and support that can be gained through events such as Agvention.

Snakes back
By Abbey Cannan
As snake breeding season slithers in, Noosa snake catcher Luke Huntley has been busy relocating snakes turning up in some unusual spots.
Luke, who has been catching snakes locally for almost a decade, said spring was the busiest time of year.
“I grew up here in Noosa so I know the area like the back of my hand. Noosa is also home to a lot of snakes, it’s south east Queensland so it’s perfect for them,“ he said.
Right now, males are on the move.
“The females will often be pretty comfy where they are and when they ovulate, they basically put a smell into the air that attracts the males to find them and then mate,“ he said.
“Spring is breeding season so we have a bit to go and it will slow down again. The snakes you see out crossing roads are boys out looking for girls mostly.“ In recent weeks, Luke has been called to some surprising locations including a large carpet python lounging in an indoor water feature at Noosa Springs, and another curled up on the edge of a bathtub in Tewantin. He reminded residents to keep doors and windows closed, and ensure screens are secure. For more information call Luke on 0499 920 290.
Take flight with bird count
A national celebration of the country’s diverse birdlife, the 2025 Aussie Bird Count is taking flight for its 12th year, with registrations now open.
From Monday 20 to Sunday 26 October, national bird conservation charity BirdLife Australia is inviting people of all ages to take 20 minutes out of their day to spot, identify, and count the birds around them.
Last year, more than 57,000 participants across Australia submitted almost 130,000 checklists and logged more than 4.1 million birds using the free Aussie Bird Count app. Bold, adaptable species - the Rainbow Lorikeet, Noisy Miner, and Australian Magpieagain topped the charts nationally.
In Queensland 885,068 bird sightings across 435 species were recorded last year.
Across the state, the Rainbow Lorikeet came in on top with 144,036 recorded sightings during the count, compared with 161,127 in 2023, followed by the Noisy Miner (73,545/66,525) and the Torresian Crow (32,061/32,869)
The three rarest birds seen in Queensland in 2024 with just one recorded sighting each were the Crested Bellbird, the Spotted Quail-thrush and the Striated Grasswren.
With more than a decade of data, the Aussie Bird Count results provide insights into trends in urban bird populations, contributing to a dataset that helps to guide future awareness campaigns, conservation priorities, and community education.
BirdLife Australia CEO Kate Millar said birds were indicators of environmental health.
“One in six Australian bird species is now under threat, so taking note of the birds around us has never been more important,” Ms Millar said. “It’s also often a first step on a longer journey of curiosity, from noticing birds to caring about them, and from caring to protecting.”
How to take part
1. Pick your spot – anywhere you like, from your backyard to your favourite park or garden
2. Spend 20 minutes quietly observing the birds you see
3. Submit your count using the Aussie Bird Count app, which will help you identify the birds you see and hear You can go out and count as many times as you like during Bird Week as long as each count lasts 20 minutes and is submitted separately.

Climate threat is real
The National Climate Risk Assessment was released this week painting a disturbing but not altogether unexpected picture of a future with worsening climate hazards and a warning that without action a global warming of 2 degrees Celsius could become 3 degrees and the difference would be significant.
The assessment, the first of its kind, was conducted by the Australian Climate Service, a partnership between the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, ABS and Geoscience Australia and looked at how climate change could affect systems like health, infrastructure, the economy and the environment. Some of the key findings of increased warming include:
• More frequent and severe extreme events like floods, fires and cyclones.
• Sea level rise could put 1.5 million more people in high-risk coastal areas by 2050.
• Climate change will increase costs, reduce productivity and worsen inequalities.
• Heatwaves could lead to more heat-related deaths, especially in northern Australia.
Australia’s unique ecosystems are under threat.
By 2050, up to 70 per cent of native plant species could face conditions outside their current climate range, risking species loss and ecosystem collapse.
The assessment was re leased as the federal government gets set to announce its 2035 climate target.

STARS light up the stage
Noosa STARS alive! finals 2025 showcased a dazzling line-up of talented Sunshine Coast performers aged eight-18 years when it was presented by NOOSA alive! on the River stage Gympie Terrace last Saturday.
Hosted by Mr Hollywood in Oz, Damien Anthony Avery-Rossi the finals delivered 12 acts to the stage to perform a range of crowd-pleasing pieces.
“The level of talent in our 2025 STARS! Finals were exceptional, which made the adjudication process even more challenging, and we are delighted to showcase our rising ’Stars of the Future’ in our annual ’STARS’ competition (now in its fourth year.),“ NOOSA alive! festival director Ian Mackellar said.
Winner of the STARS alive! competition was guitarist and vocalist Finn Zerner who received $1000 cash prize sponsored by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.
Second prize of $500, sponsored by NOOSA alive! went to vocalist, guitarist Ethan Dahi and third was four-piece band Karma Police who received $250 sponsored by ArtsNational Noosa.
In addition to the winners, two acts received honourable mention - Abby and Ruby Rowe (aka) The Rowe Sisters and singer songwriter Taylor Dee.
Noosa STARS alive! finals was held alongside the Imagine festival, presented by Bendigo Bank as a celebration of 21 years in Noosa.
Auditions for STARS 2026 will be held in May/ June and open to all young artists residing on the Sunshine Coast, aged eight-18 years. Visit noosaalive.com.au for future audition announcements.

Sally said the enterprising youths not only created their winning entries but paid the entry costs with money made from their own cottage industries including honey from their bee hives, pumpkins and loofahs (turned into back scratchers) grown on the property.
This year the Noosa Country Show attracted more than the usual number of entries across all categories.
Show president Rob Graham said there were great numbers of entries in everything from arts and photography to horse events. There was even a lineup of young bull riders keen to test their skills at the rodeo.
Mr Graham said the committee were impressed with the success of the show and the big crowds that attended on both Friday and Saturday of the show.
With a diverse range of entertainment and activities on the various stages, the rings and in the buildings their aim was to keep people interested, he said.
“It was really good. There’s a little bit for everybody,“ he said.

Collaboration, co-operation
From page 1
“Talking with farmers throughout the day who are listening to the stories of their peers, it’s clear that this is one of the only avenues these farmers have to hear of new regenerative farming practices.
“I’m interested in capturing the value of these events for the farming community, and how this knowledge can be shared even wider than the attendees here today.”
This included becoming part of communities that have embraced regenerative farming practices.
It’s a modern version of co-operatives where you don’t need to be in competition but collaborate with others - share ideas, share experiences, share transport, share in the care of land, improved water use and building fences.
That brings it to another level of the event when they talked about how to apply your assets in order to improve your income stream above what the farm-gate can provide.
Tom Bjorksten of Misty Creek Agroforestry spoke about ways to make a viable living as a farmer on less than 30 acres.
By following syntropic farming methods he showed how herbs and vegetables could prosper by being grown in conjuction with fruit trees, chickens and cattle, as well as commercial timber.
By thinking alternatively Tom has been able to combine agistment of his cattle in reply for improving the pastures and fences of the property.
It was similar with Neil and Jan-Adele Reinke at their Central Queensland grazing property, combining trees, forage, and cattle to improve pastures and productivity.
Then there is a perennial problem of big business dominating the community landscape with high-volume, low-value produce.
Farmers who focus on having high quality and low volume need more effort or planning but the input costs can be reduced and productivity increased.
Their outlets can include direct delivery, attending well-run farmers markets or organisations such as the Food Connect - a community owned and community led initiative in Brisbane that connects consumers directly with farmers at a warehouse hub.
Local produce overcomes the challenges of supply chains during difficult events such as pan-
demics and flooding or other issues that can arise.
Farmers markets tend to build a stronger community rather than convenience.
Central to the discussion yet often not spoken about is the health of farmers - both physical and mental.
Liv Walford of Workplace Wellness Training and Mental Health First Aid was there to open discussion about practical intervention skills to assist family, friends, colleagues and the community.

Farmers face significant physical and mental health risks due to factors such as isolation, financial stress, weather events, and physical hazards. These pressures contribute to widespread depression and anxiety, but farmers often avoid seeking help due to stigma, loneliness, and limited access to mental health services.
Agvention hosts Tim and Amber Scott of Kandanga Farm Store announced $3875 had been raised to help the Lachlan Hughes Foundation, established in 2018 to encourage emerging farmers.
The foundation, established by the Hughes family after the tragic death of their son Lachlan, is funded entirely by donations and sees 10 farmers from throughout Australia selected each year for a on-farm and in-shed course encouraging new ideas and the exchanging of information.
“A massive thank you to our speakers,’’ Amber said, “with lots of different takes on how regen ag works for them.
“If we all knew the answers, why would we need to come together like this?’’

DMP final plan in progress
By Margie Maccoll
Submissions closed on Noosa Council’s draft Destination Management Plan (DMP) last Sunday and council staff now begin the task of collating public input to complete the final plan but last week Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry organised an event where council delivered a presentation on the draft DMP to date.
“It starts with the premise that we all love Noosa. We all have a shared responsibility of caring for it. All I ask that you do is keep an open mind,“ Mayor Frank Wilkie told the 90 attendees.
“The DMP began a few years ago with a discussion paper. It came out in 2023 and evoked over 1000 submissions including a very fervent one from the Chamber so the Chamber’s been involved from the start.“
Council’s environment and strategy director Kim Rawlings told guests the draft DMP reflected the feedback they received on the discussion paper and the community consultation called for resident’s input on whether the draft had captured a true reflection of Noosa values.
Kim said after years spent researching other DMPs around the world council deliberately chose to take a different approach.
“We will do it in a way that works for our community, that aligns with Noosa values, follow the legacy of doing things boldly and differently that Noosa community and council have done for many decades,“ she said.
Kim said it was council’s intention to have a final DMP, a 10 year strategic plan, created by the end of this year, that would include an evaluation and monitoring plan and an implementation plan.
Council spokesperson Lyn took guests through the different aspects of the draft DMP, beginning with the discussion paper feedback which she said was predominantly responded to by residents, respondents identifying as a business making up only eight per cent of the total.
“We had 80,000 words to make sense of, 596 short surveys, 202 detail surveys, 66 submissions, a range of emails, coffee chat (feedback),“ she said.
“We distilled that down to 84 actions and community solutions. Now we’ve got a draft DMP with 20 actions and another 20 tasks that we think are the right tasks.“
She said 70 per cent of things asked for had been started or were about to be started so council directed them to focus on the things we’ve been kicking down the road for the last few years, face them head on.
Seventy-eight per cent of respondents wanted the environment protected, she said.
The second thing that came up was traffic or traffic management, followed by visitor experiences that respect our assets.
We signed on to the Kabi Kabi principal to look after the land so it gives back to you, she said.
“Our DMP starts with what the community asked for, not what the tourists want,“ Lyn said.
“Tourism can be for good. Council is proud of the work Tourism Noosa has done and the branding equity. It’s important to us that brand is managed well.“
Lyn said messages that came through strongly were calls for public funding of tourism, the im-
portance of resident amenity, issues with housing supply and short term accommodation and overwhelmingly people wanted transformative change.
“Community wants their neighbourhoods back. We’ve taken that on board,“ she said.
“What came out. I’m a resident. I pay to live here. I pay to enjoy the amenity but I can’t get there. I can’t get to my favourite spots. Make sure you charge everyone else who’s a visitor and make sure I’m OK.
“We’ve heard the events here people can’t afford to go to them. We need events that reflect community values.
“We heard time and time again stop marketing. Stop marketing and people will stop coming. We have evidence that is not the solution. This is about shared responsibility, what we want Noosa to look like in 10 years.
“We don’t want to restrict tourism growth we
want to better manage the growth that is coming.
“We’re conscious of estates to the southwhere are they going to go on the weekend, and then there’s the Olympics on our doorstep.
“The DMP vision is to manage growth. We can see what happens in other destinations when they get the balance wrong. This all started when the community started telling us we have the balance wrong.“
The event heard about the value of tourism to Noosa in making it what it is today, a desired destination with an array of high class restaurants, accommodation, events and services.
In local economic terms figures show tourism rates fifth in the top five industries in Noosa following in order of value health care and social assistance, construction, retail trade, and professional, scientific and technical.
When asked about council’s progress on traffic management Infrastructure director Shaun
Walsh told the meeting council had collected real data on traffic congestion particularly in high congestion areas during peak times and they were in the process of updating the traffic management plan.
Shaun said they had spent a lot of time in past 12 months to come up with solutions including exploring mobility options, priority bus lanes and dynamic parking.
Noosa Chamber of Commerce president Ralph Rogers stressed the importance of the DMP.
“This will affect your business and it will affect your town, it’s a planning document,“ he said.
“We’ve got to get this community on the same page. We’ll only get to where we want to be if we work together.
“We are very supportive of a DMP because we understand if you don’t have a plan it’s chaos. We just want the best.“

Big response
More than 900 survey responses and a high volume of written submissions were received during public consultation for the draft Destination Management Plan (DMP).
Mayor Frank Wilkie said the strong response during the six-week consultation reflected the community’s shared love for Noosa and interest in shaping the future of tourism.
“There’s a passionate level of interest in Noosa and managing tourism in a way that respects and improves our lifestyle, natural assets and values,” Mayor Wilkie said.
“It was great to see strong feedback from young people who live in our shire.
“We wanted our next generation of leaders to be informed and have their say, so the team visited schools to explain what the DMP means for Noosa’s future.”
Residents, businesses, tourism operators and
community/environment groups were also invited to community workshops that were held across the shire in August.
Community information sessions were held, along with coffee catch ups, industry briefings, school sessions and staffed displays at the Noosa Show. Council also sent 40,000 DMP information postcards to households and businesses across the shire.
“Council will now begin the process over the next eight weeks of analysing all feedback to help shape the Destination Management Plan,” Mayor Wilkie said.
“Community insights will play a vital role in guiding future policy and planning.”
The final DMP is expected to be presented to Council later this year.

Parking fines set to rise
By Margie Maccoll
Motorists parking illegally in restricted areas, loading zones, disabled parking areas, longer than directed or illegal overnight camping may soon face steeper fines after Noosa Council on Monday voted to amend a local law to increase parking infringement penalties.
The largest fine increase, for stopping in a disabled parking area, will rise from two to four penalty units (with each penalty unit $166.90), incurring a fine of $667.60.
Stopping in loading zones may cost motorists an increased fine from $125.75 to $166.90 and overstaying the parking limit may cost a motorist a fine of $125.75, up from $83.45.
The increases in infringement charges come after complaints to council of illegally parked cars and a 21-day period of public consultation earlier this year during which council received 58 submissions, 38 of which were considered properly made, and regarded overall as positive to the amendment.
“Feedback revealed community support for the proposed amendments, particularly in relation to discouraging overstaying, misuse of disability spaces, and illegal overnight camping. However, some concerns were raised regarding Council’s enforcement capacity, cost-of-living impacts, and the perceived revenue-raising nature of the changes,” a council officer told Monday’s meeting.
When asked about council’s capacity to enforce parking measures the officer said council’s use of local intel and new technology including AI cameras and council’s ‘parking car’ which monitors parking compliance had been beneficial tools in keeping a check on particular zones and problem areas.
He said they communicated closely with Queensland Police Service, and had worked together to undertake compliance actions on illegal camping.
In response to questions on cost of living expenses the officer said it was important to identify these fee changes were not the same
as increased utility charges. “They don’t apply to every motorist across shire, these apply to people who are in fringe,” he said.
“I’m not saying there’s not an impact, but it’s not the same as a charge that everyone bears in the community.”
There is an appeal process where people who are aggrieved can set out reasons why they think they shouldn’t be infringed, he said.
Council’s Local Laws officers undertake regular patrols to monitor compliance with parking restrictions across Noosa, generally concentrating on high risk and congested areas and in response to specific complaints, according to council’s website
If the officers identify a non-compliance depending on the situation a caution notice or penalty infringement notice will be isued. This usually occurs where the driver is present and has made a simple error which poses little or no risk. In other situations the officer will record the offence and issue a penalty infringement notice.
Council’s adoption of number plate recognition technology allows highly accurate images and records which confirm parking offences.
A copy of the image and the information is provided on the Penalty Infringement Notice issued to the registered owner of the vehicle.
A final decision on parking fine increases will be made at council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday.

A celebration of Noosa Red
It’s an exotic fruit that originated in South America centuries ago, and is now used and enjoyed around the world. ERLE LEVEY takes a deeper look at the tomato, and a man who has devoted much of his life to growing them.
You can spend a lot of time nurturing them, watering them, making sure they get plenty of morning sunshine and that they are protected from thunderstorms, the hail, the frosts and excessive heat.
Yet when it comes time to pick that precious fruit - the one that has been through so much with you - and take the first bite … there is nothing quite like it.
These reflections on the humble fruit - the French call them the pomme d’amour, or the Love Apple - came about as part of a five chefs dinner to support world-travelled tomato grower Peter Seghers and his wife, Dory.
The unusually long period of rain since November has impacted Peter and Dory’s famous Noosa Reds tomatoes.
An institution in the Noosa region for the best part of two decades, the tomatoes are hydroponically grown without the use of chemicals. Instead there is a focus on natural methods for pest and disease management.
Noosa Reds are known for being full-flavoured from being vine ripened, and the short time from hand-picking to the plate make them popular with chefs and residents.
They are a brand that restaurants proudly display on blackboards and menus.
The five chefs dinner at Park and Cove Restaurant in Peppers Noosa Resort saw Andy Wilcox from Peppers Noosa, Matt Golinski from aroMATTic, Andrea Ravezzani from Park & Cove, Shane Bailey from Noosa Boat House, and Glen Barratt from In Pursuit of Pastry, creating a five course menu with tomatoes as the theme.
Guests at the sold-out event were invited to dress in red for the night.
Peter and Dory took over the brand in 2012 and have always been a part of the community, known for the quality of the produce and being ready to lend support.
Coming from a third-generation tomatogrowing family in Belgium, Peter has an extensive experience in the industry.
His background in hydroponics, a technique that uses less water and fewer resources, has been instrumental in the farm’s success.
The tomatoes are grown in a controlled glasshouse system without the use of chemicals, and a focus on natural methods for pest and disease management.
The farm grows a range of tomato varieties, including various cherry tomatoes and rugged heirloom types.
“I’m 65 years old now,’’ Peter told me, “... so I’ve been going for 50 years.
“I started in Ostbelgien - Eastern Belgium - with mum and dad on the farm. They specialised in flowers, lettuce and tomatoes - a mixed vegetable operation then slowly moved more to specialising in tomatoes. “That meant building more modern greenhouses - with heating - and then later on, hydroponics and irrigation.’’
“We wanted to do something like this that highlights how tough it is as a small producer to survive these days,“ he said prior to the night.
“It’s kind of a reminder for everyone that we need these people in our lives. They make our lives richer and we get to eat better food because they’re out there.“
Pete and Dory of Noosa Reds have been hit hard in recent years, with fungal disease wiping out much of their tomato crop.
The dinner was about acknowledging how much Peter and Dory in particular have done for the hospitality industry.
“It’s about making them know that we really appreciate the hard work they put in to give us
Celebrity chef Matt Golinski said the evening was to celebrate Noosa Reds tomatoes and the dedication of the growers.
good products for our restaurants.’’
For Andy Wilcox, the dinner was a small way in which to pay Peter and Dory back for their commitment to growing fresh and tasty tomatoes.
“I’ve been using Noosa Reds since I was just starting out at Jasper’s - now Rococo - in Hastings Street. And that was a long time ago.
“There’s not many Noosa producers. Peter’s the heart of soul really. This is a way in which we can give back to the farmers.’’
Noosa Red tomatoes are thought to have been established in the late 1990s- early 2000s, with Peter Seghers considering himself the third or fourth owner of the brand.
The farm at Doonan has a history of growth and expansion, especially from the days of Russ Parbery and Richard McDonald.
Peter left the family farm at 27 and started his own business. But it was a bad time in the ’90s and technology was rapidly evolving .
It was a case of having to invest a lot of money to stay in business. At the same time a lot of tomatoes were coming in from Spain and Morocco. It was a matter of get big or get out, he said.
“A lot of young people were in the same boat. The prices collapsed and you can only sell below cost price for so long.
“Then there was a free trade agreement. There was the European Union but it only comprised of about nine countries at that time.
“I had to make a decision to get out or borrow more ... and that was out of the question.’’
So Peter travelled to the other side of the world - first to New Zealand.
Chefs Andrea Ravezzani, Andrew Wilcox, Glen Barratt and Matt Golinski. (499230)
There are not many places in the world you can go unless you have the money to start a business, he said. Apart from Australia and New Zealand.
“Australia was too hot and harsh, and I didn’t think it was tomato-growing country. So I chose New Zealand - it was more like a European climate.’’
With a reputation for working hard he picked up a job at M?ngere, a southern suburb of Auckland.
It was with PTO Growers, a significant hothouse vegetable and packing business.
“They were the first to grow hydroponic tomatoes in New Zealand,’’ Peter said, “and they knew I had good knowledge in that field.
“They took me on board without hesitation and it wasn’t long before I was managing quite a few properties for them.
“They were the biggest in New Zealand at the time - they had huge plans of expanding and investing heavily in hydroponics and greenhouses.’’
Peter was very grateful they took him on and help get established with a two-year working visa.
In the meantime, he was able to save up to get a car and travel around to see other parts of New Zealand, particularly the South Island.
“Man, that was nice,’’ he said. “I fell in love with it, particularly around Blenheim.
It was at Blenheim that Peter met and married Dory.
Things just clicked between them but things changed at his work so Peter switched to another farm who was growing lettuce and herbs, as well as tomatoes, for restaurants in the neighbourhood.
“That got me a bit more interested in supplying restaurants, directly to chefs,’’ Peter said. “It was my first experience and I was interested in the quality of the taste that they wanted.
“The greenhouse builder was constructing one in Bundaberg as well, and asked if I wanted a job in Australia.
“At first, I said no ... there are too many snakes and it’s too hot. I don’t want to go there.
“But he gave my phone number to the farmer in Bundaberg and he said I had to come to Australia now. He had an aeroplane ticket.’’
After a few years managing other people’s farms another tomato grower asked Peter if he could share a bit of knowledge.
Peter gave him some advice and it turned out he was Richard McDonald from Noosa Reds.
“He came to the farm and said: ’I want to talk to you because you’re knowledgeable. Can you give my manager a hand … a rundown on how to improve the business?’
“Afterwards Richard asked what he owed me.
“Just give me a bag of tomatoes ... you don’t have to pay me.
“He was surprised - a bag of tomatoes to give advice. He couldn’t believe it.’’
Peter did it for quite a while - backwards and forwards whenever Richard needed advice.
“It was just down the road. It wasn’t that far. It was a pleasure to do business with him.
“Nothing is a secret in farming. You learn from each other.
“Then one day he called me and I thought he wanted more advice, but he didn’t go to the greenhouse.
“He said: ’Peter. I don’t want to carry on with this. I just want to get out. Would you be interested in this?’
“I said no, I don’t have the money to buy it.
“Richard said: ’No, I’m giving it to you. I want to go into a nursing career.’’
That saw Richard enrol in a nursing science degree at University of the Sunshine Coast to fulfil a childhood ambition of helping people.
So it came about that Peter and Dory took over Noosa Reds. They agreed on a lease.
For Peter, it was an opportunity to have his own business again.
That was the whole philosophy behind it for him. To have his own business and provide quality produce to the community.
By helping Richard, in return he helped Peter. And Noosa Reds continues to be one of the strongest brands in Noosa.
“I’m probably the fourth person to do Noosa Reds - there was Richard and Russ but I don’t know who started it.
“Richard had it for seven years and I’ve had it for 13 years now, so between me and Richard there’s been a good relationship.’’
It’s this co-operation between farmers that has seen Peter and Dory be willing contributors of their tomatoes to the community.
The response to the five chefs dinner showed how important good food and strong community belief can be.
“It’s very overwhelming,’’ Peter said. “We knew we had a good following. Good customers.
“People love tomatoes… ... but this support is amazing.’’

We invite you to join us in celebrating World Tourism Day on Saturday 27 September, with this year’s theme ‘Tourism and Sustainable Transformation’ – such a topical and timely message for the community. For many of us in the Noosa tourism industry, ‘Sustainable transformation’ has been much more than just a slogan, as we have committed over many years to ‘travel for good’, striving for the protection, preservation and improvement of Noosa’s beautiful natural environment.
Reflecting this, I am extremely proud this week to launch our Tread Lightly Noosa Marine Citizen Science Experience with Whale Songs Noosa, inviting locals and visitors to become whale researchers for a day! Endorsed by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, this unique experience on Thursday 2 October will be guided by University of Sunshine Coast researcher Melina Keane, and Peppie Simpson and Captain Albie from Whale Songs Noosa, with a welcome at Deadly Espresso Cafe.
You’ll learn how to identify whale behaviours and collect research data which will contribute to the Blue Biosphere Project, a pioneering research initiative that aims to improve the understanding of these majestic marine species.
We expect this will sell out quickly, so if you miss out this time, please register your interest for future opportunities.
Find out more and book here.
There are many ways you can join us in our Tread Lightly Noosa program, with regular Plastic Free Noosa beach clean-ups, Trees for Tourism plantings in the Noosa hinterland (mostly funded by participants in Noosa’s events), and the Waste Warriors program at major events. Find out more at www.visitnoosa.com.au/tread-lightly
Our Precious Plastic Noosa program has been a hit, with refillable pens and surfboard wax combs made in Noosa from plastic bottle top waste (part of our school-based, circular economy initiative), available for purchase through the Noosa Visitor Information Centre in Hastings Street.
I’m also very proud of the work we do with Noosa’s many environmental organisations including Zero Emissions Noosa who are this week encouraging us to Go Car-Free Noosa and give up the car for a day or week. I’ve personally committed to swapping my car for an e-scooter to get to and from work for a day and challenge you to take the pledge! Find out more at www.zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au/carfreenoosa
With school holidays starting this weekend, we’ve recently published our Noosa Spring School Holiday Guide. For fun things to do, see www.visitnoosa.com.au/whats-on, and be sure to drop into the Noosa Visitor Information Centre for holiday displays featuring local experiences. And on World Tourism Day, 27 September, there’ll be something extra from our volunteer ambassadors.
We are all custodians of this planet and the Noosa tourism industry is proudly doing their bit.
Until next time, Happy World Tourism Day!

The hidden bull sharks of the Sunshine Coast
It’s a well-known fact that bull sharks are present in the river systems of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, but their numbers and movement have always been a mystery.
At the next Friday Environment Forum, Dr Bonnie Holmes from the University of the Sunshine Coast will clarify fact from fiction surrounding the ecology of bull sharks based on the current research of the Sunshine Coast Bull Shark Program.
Bonnie’s research focuses on the biology and ecology of large sharks and fish. She has specialised in using techniques such as satellite telemetry to understand and answer complex questions about how these species use their habitat in time and space. Bonnie also has an interest in population genetics and has undertaken behaviour ecology work on a diversity of keystone species marine species, ranging from teleost fishes to marine mammals. The research has been important for improving the sustainability of species management, as well as understanding food web ecology and the impact of humans upon it. Currently, as a Senior Lecturer in Animal Ecology, Bonnie has both PhD and Honours students working on shark and fish biology, ecology and genetics.
Come along to Friday Forum on September 26th to find out more about bull sharks, their movement, breeding areas and importance to our local habitats.
Everyone is welcome at the forum at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville which starts at 10.30am with morning tea available from 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door which includes morning tea/coffee.
Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the car-
park for interpretive birding.

Not just a meal, it’s art
Tucked away in the heart of Noosa Junction, Sabrosa Dim Sum House is the latest culinary gem from the creative minds behind Somedays Pizza and Mariella Mexicantina.
This Cantonese-inspired restaurant and bar takes diners on a journey far beyond the coast, blending the energy of Hong Kong’s bustling alleyways with the relaxed sophistication of Noosa’s dining scene.
At Sabrosa, dim sum isn’t just a meal – it’s an art form.
The menu highlights the delicate craftsmanship of traditional Cantonese cooking prepared by Chef Kaung and the team, balancing bold flavours with meticulous attention to detail. Locally sourced produce sits alongside carefully selected imported ingredients, ensuring every bite honours authenticity while supporting the local region’s farmers and suppliers.
Beyond the plate, Sabrosa offers a thoughtfully curated beverage program to complement the cuisine. Guests can explore an extensive list of sustainable minimal-intervention fine wines with current and back vintages from Australia, New Zealand and well-known old-world regions.
In the bar Sabrosa takes on influences from Cantonese cuisine, using local boutique spirits to create exceptional cocktails that will have you wanting to try them all. Our delightful team will help with pairings to elevate your dining experience, whether you’re enjoying a light lunch or a late-night feast.
Whether you’re a dim sum aficionado or a curious newcomer, it invites you to slow down, indulge, and celebrate the joy of sharing food, creating special moments. Sabrosa Dim Sum House. (Supplied)
Sabrosa Dim Sum House is more than a restaurant – it’s a destination.
And when the sun goes down, Sabrosa’s atmosphere transforms. A custom vinyl booth/wine cellar comes alive on Saturday nights, with DJs spinning deep cuts and rare grooves until late. It’s a place where food lovers and music enthusiasts alike can gather, share stories, and soak up the vibe.
Ever since homo sapiens began to explore, moving around and out of Africa, whether it be as a result of the always changing climate or other unstoppable forces, migration has been a significant part of the human story.
In the modern world, as well as enabling economic growth, immigration allows us to perform our social and humanitarian responsibility, and in both regards Australia has a proud history. Immigration has and continues to serve us well.
A poorly managed immigration system, particularly in our advanced world where millions of people enter Australia in a reasonably short period, has the potential to exacerbate underlying economic and social problems.
Noosa residents know from their own experience the constraints on housing and infrastructure, congestion on roads, and the impact on services, beaches and our natural environment that rising population brings, particularly as it reaches the 60,000 people population cap number that was identified by previous local government leaders in the 1990s.
Noosa is one of the many regions in Australia experiencing a housing crisis. A study by the Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry has found that median local house prices are more than $1.27 million, a significant number of residents are priced out of the local real estate market, and others are suffering from rental stress. This has led to some local workers and families who are unable to secure housing to either move out of the area or adjust their housing expectations.
As one of Australia’s premier tourism destinations, the Noosa Shire also receives approximately two million visitors each year, which adds to the congestion on local roads, and demands on
LLEW’S NEWS
infrastructure and services.
As forecast three decades ago, Noosa residents quite rightly have concerns about population growth and the impact this may have on the Shire’s unique amenity, lifestyle and environment.
The same situation is playing out on a larger scale nationally with Australia’s rapid population growth, when Governments have failed to ensure that the housing, hospitals, roads, dams, and other vital infrastructure needed to accommodate that growth is in place.
There was no mention of increasing migration numbers from the Labor Party prior to the 2022 federal election. There was no mention of the “Big Australia” policy until their first Jobs and Skills Summit, from which emerged the recommendation to set migration levels at record levels and see what happens.
Well, we are now in the see what happens phase. The Australian Government’s 2024 Population Statement forecasts Australia’s population growing from 27.2 million people in 2023-24 to 28.4 million people in 2027-28 at a time when we have a national homelessness crisis, a housing and rental affordability crisis, our hospitals are struggling, and young Australians are giving up on the dream of home ownership.
WONDAISPRING GARDENEXPO2025
The most recent Census in 2021 found that there were 121,494 people experiencing homelessness on Census night. It is clear the Government has its work cut out for it if that number will be lower in next year’s Census.
Immigration is an issue for which the Federal Government has total responsibility. In the Albanese Labor Government’s first Budget for 2022-23, our estimated net overseas migration figure was forecast at 235,000 people. The actual figure turned out to be 538,341. For 2023-24, the Government’s forecast was the same at 235,000 migrants, but the real figure was 430,496.
Immigration has built Australia over generations. Everyone who calls themself Australian has a history of migration. Whether your ancestors migrated here on foot before the end of the last ice age or you chose Australia to be your home, migration is what has brought us all here and it has made Australia great. We also have a strong and generous humanitarian program, and we need to ensure we have the capacity to play our role to provide protection to people in need.
But migration needs to be carefully managed and done in a sustainable way. It’s a finely tuned system that needs to adjust to many variables, including domestic, international, and economic circumstances, but it must always be managed for the benefit of all Australian citizens.

Caution on counterfeit cash locally
Sunshine Coast police have recently received a number of reports of counterfeit notes being used in the area and encourage anyone transacting in notes to be vigilant.
Residents and businesses are urged to show care when handling notes and report any suspicious circumstances as soon as possible.
If you suspect that someone is handing you counterfeit notes, you can refuse to accept it (as long as it is safe to do so).
If you come across a banknote that you suspect is counterfeit, take the following steps:
• Handle the suspect banknote as little as possible and store it in an envelope.
• Note any relevant information, such as how it came into your possession.
• Report the matter immediately to State or Federal police.
The Reserve Bank of Australia website provides advice regarding the security features of bank notes and to help identify a counterfeit note.
Sunshine Coast police have recently received a number of reports of counterfeit notes being used in the area.
Full hearts at Eumundi
Thirty-five of the best young rockers from across the Sunshine Coast delivered energetic performances at the recent Eumundi School of Music (ESOM) Mini Festival held on 13 September, held at the Eumundi School of Arts Hall.
Founded by five-time ARIA Award-winning songstress Katie Noonan, the program, now in its ninth year, offers budding young musicians across the Sunshine Coast a pathway to chase their musical dreams. It provides them with individual lessons and mentorship from professional musicians over three months.
The 2025 program culminated with students performing at the ESOM Mini Festival, showcasing bands Artificial Dreams and Boiling Pot, ESOM teen band Area 51, ESOM show band White Keyz, the ESOM horn section The Chapsticks, and alumni band Karma Police.
Katie said, “Each year I am truly blown away by the local talent and it is really is going from strength to strength in leaps and bounds.”
“The young musicians were extraordinary and filled the hearts of every audience member. It is deeply meaningful to have the opportunity to create a safe space for young people to express themselves and find their tribe though music.
“Our amazing teachers Mark Moroney, Alys Ffion, Brodie Graham, Jazzella Coogan, Zac Hurren, Brett Newman, Jarrod Tutbury, Rob Ewan, Sive Hughes and Jimmy Halliday have inspired our young musicians to be the best they can be, confront their weaknesses and fears, support their band mates and embrace the inclusive magic of music making.
“I am really grateful to live in a community that supports our initiative each year and am very excited for our 10-year shindig next year,” Katie said.
The students shared what they felt about their ESOM experience, and performing at the minifestival.
Hugo Wilson, 12, sings with Artificial Dreams and said they were amazed at how supportive
and encouraging all the teachers were.
“If I made any mistakes, they would encourage me to keep on going and it was beautiful. Their support has helped me to believe in myself and I’m so grateful to them. I can’t wait for ESOM to start again next year,” Hugo said.
Nate Campbell, 14, is on saxophone with Boiling Point and Artificial Dreams, and keys with Area 51.
“ESOM has given me great opportunities to learn from industry professionals, but my favourite part I love is playing music with like-minded friends. I feel like I’ve found my tribe. I wish the program lasted longer,” Nate said.
George Hillhouse, 13, plays trumpet with Boiling Point and Artificial Dreams.
“I love meeting new cool people who enjoy playing music. It’s my third year at ESOM and it just keeps getting better,” George said.
Three times ARIA Award winners The Superjesus headlined the night, with frontwoman rock queen Sarah McLeod proudly watching on as alumni band The Greater Good performed their smash hit ‘Gravity’ to open their set.
They then played an epic set with ESOM bassists Madi Grose and Nate Morgan in their band, and closed the set with an epic version of ‘Highway to Hell’ with double kit, horn section and 35+
ESOM kids all rocking out together! Nate, 15, was blown away by the opportunity to perform with rock royalty.
“The Superjesus were so great. I loved their energy and stage presence, inclusivity and it was an out of world experience to play with a band full of seasoned musicians,” he said.
Madi, 15, shared her gratitude.
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have played bass with the legendary Superjesus as a part of Katie Noonan’s Eumundi School of Music as well as with Karma Police. The best day ever!,” she said.

JOE LYCETT’S UNITED STATES OF BIRMINGHAM
SBS Viceland, Monday, 8.30pm
A proud resident of Birmingham, or “Brum” as it’s affectionately known, charming comedian and activist Joe Lycett (pictured) couldn’t help but notice that his hometown wasn’t the only one with its name. In an effort to put England’s second city back on the map, Lycett gets the blessing of the actual Lord Mayor of Birmingham to embark on an odyssey that attempts to unite the West Midlands metropolis with its 18 North American namesakes.
From New Jersey to Saskatchewan and into the Deep South, Lycett delves into the culture and history of each Birmingham, aiming to get each to sign a formal “friendship agreement”. It all begins tonight on the East Coast of the United States.
First responders such as the brave paramedics featured in this gripping docuseries play a vital role in our community, effortlessly navigating life-or-death situations with their expert knowledge and calm demeanour. These dedicated medical professionals often work in dangerous and demanding environments to provide critical prehospital care for those in desperate need. In tonight’s instalment, after a heroic bystander uses CPR to bring a grandmother back from the dead, intensive care specialist Bill arrives to stabilise the distressed woman before she slips back into fatal cardiac arrest. Elsewhere, his colleagues Sally (pictured) and Olivia carefully examine a churchgoer who has whacked her head on a pew.

Visit Downton Abbey’s home
By Lee Mccarthy
Viking is well known for its destination-focused journeys on rivers, oceans, and lakes around the world but what is not as well-known is the company’s partnerships and philanthropic pursuits.
The company has partnered with Focus Features, Universal Pictures, and Carnival Films to celebrate the highly anticipated return of the global phenomenon, Downton Abbey.
The Grand Finale was released in Australia on 11 September and Viking’s corporate sponsorship of the celebrated series masterpiece, which began in 2011 continues today as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to enriching cultural programming.
Karine Hagen, Viking’s Executive Vice President of Product said, “Downton Abbey has long held a special place in the hearts of our guests, many of whom were introduced to Viking and Highclere Castle through the series.”
“A key aspect of the Viking way of travel is offering our guests Privileged Access to cultural treasures around the world, and our exclusive experiences at Highclere Castle, which are cocreated with the Carnarvon family, have become favourites among our guests.”
Highclere Castle is the home of the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon and the iconic filming location of Downton Abbey.
Since 2014, Viking has offered guests a variety of ways to experience life at Highclere Castle, with pre and post land extensions that include the highly rated Oxford and Highclere Castle and Great Homes, Gardens and Gin extensions which are available for guests on select river and ocean voyages.
Additionally, for guests on the popular Nile River itinerary, Pharaohs and Pyramids, Viking offers the British Collections of Ancient Egypt land extension.
The five-day extension provides guests with an introduction to Egyptian antiquities in preparation for their Nile River experience and includes retracing the steps of the world’s most famous Egyptologist, Howard Carter, and his benefactor, the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon.
Guests experience Privileged Access to archives and museum exhibits not normally accessible to the public, and at Highclere Castle, guests have the opportunity to view the Earl’s magnificent private collection of Egyptian artifacts.
Lady Carnarvon said, “For over a decade, it has been a pleasure to open our doors to Viking guests and truly provide Privileged Access, sharing with them the stories, traditions and treasures that have made this estate special for more than 300 years.”
“The personal and professional ties between Viking and Highclere run deep, and our longstanding relationship is rooted in a shared devotion to heritage, culture and the enrichment that comes from genuine exploration.”
Lady Carnarvon has also welcomed viewers to Highclere Castle on Viking’s award-winning enrichment channel, Viking.TV.
In her series, ‘At Home at Highclere’, Lady Carnarvon offers virtual Privileged Access to the historic home and its grounds.
Viking’s close friendship with the Carnarvon family has also extended to its fleet. Lady Carnarvon is the ceremonial godmother of a Viking Longship, the Viking Skadi and an ocean ship, the Viking Mars. In 2022, Lord Carnarvon became Viking’s first godfather, fulfilling the role for
the Viking Osiris and in 2024, their son, the Hon. Edward Herbert, became godfather of the Viking Hathor.
Viking is proud to offer Australian residents a chance to win a grand prize of a trip for two on Viking’s eight-day river voyage, Paris and the Heart of Normandy, with a three-night Privileged Access extension to Oxford and Highclere Castle.
The winner will also receive Eurostar transportation between London and Paris for two. Entries close on 1 December 2025 and to enter, visit the Viking website and search for ‘Spring Competition’.
For further information on Viking cruises destinations and tours, please call 138 747 or visit their website www.vikingrivercruises.com.au.

The itinerary is thoughtfully designed to showcase Melbourne’s rich horticultural heritage, creative energy, and culinary excellence, all with the personal touch and professionalism that Noosa Travel is known for.

The botanical theme continues with a serene visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens, where guests will take the Explorer bus for a 30 mins drive around the 8500-plant species in one of the world’s great inner-city gardens. Adding a touch of whimsy, the group will attend the Tesselaar Kabloom Festival in the Dandenong Ranges. Here, vibrant fields of blooms stretch across the countryside, providing unforgettable photo opportunities.
But this journey is not only about flora. Guests enjoy a relaxing cruise on the Yarra River, offering a unique perspective of Melbourne’s skyline and iconic bridges. They’ll also soar to new heights at the Melbourne Skydeck, where panoramic views from the city’s tallest building await.
History buffs will relish the tour of the historic Quarantine Station at Portsea, a fascinating glimpse into Australia’s colonial health practices. Culture continues with a visit to the State Library of Victoria, an architectural marvel that houses treasures of literature, art, and history.
Food and wine are also on the itinerary, with a visit to the acclaimed Montalto Winery on the Mornington Peninsula. Here, guests can sample fine wines and enjoy the lush vineyard setting. Nearby, a visit to Heronswood House and Gar-
den, home of the famous Diggers Club, offers inspiration and insight into sustainable gardening practices. Throughout the journey, every detail is taken care of by a fully escorted by Noosa Travel staff, ensuring a smooth and enriching experience.
This five-day tour is more than just a trip - it’s a celebration of nature, culture, and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned garden lover or simply in search of a beautiful escape, Noosa Travel’s Melbourne Garden Show Tour promises memories
that will bloom long after you return home. For more information, phone on 07 54497000 or email info@noosatravel.com.au Visit noosatravel.com.au
Warwick rodeo and campdraft is worth travelling for
Love rodeo and campdraft? The buckles, the boots, the belts and hats? The power of the horses and the grit of the riders? The dust, the action, and the roar of the crowd?

Roy Orbison lives again
The brilliant theatrical portrayal of The Roy Orbison Story is currently on an extensive Australian tour and will be in Noosa on Saturday 11 October.
Mark Shelley (singer, musician, actor) is simply brilliant as he leads the audience on a journey through the wonderful catalogue of Roy’s songs and the intrigue of Roy’s life.
His seven piece backing band are superb. Their individual playing credits read like a ‘who’s who’ of the Music industry - Dragon, Moving Pictures, The Drifters, The Platters, Tommy Emmanuel… the list goes on.
Mark has extensively toured performing in Australia and parts of the world, been a member of the Australian Opera Company, headlined at Festivals, TV, and extensive venue and corporate performances.
“I am both a massive fan and admirer of Roy’s immense talent, singing and song writing ability. There has been no one like him before or since. It is an absolute privilege to perform his songs,
share stories, and take the audience on a wonderful journey. His music is timeless,” Mark said.
Annetta from Wollongong said, “Words just can’t describe how amazingly talented you and the band are. You captured the audience. It was a very intimate show. I learnt so much about Roy’s life and you easily had me in tears during some songs.. What an honor to see you.”
Kathy from Bendigo said, “We had such a wonderful day at The Roy Orbison Story. The show was amazing. Mark’s portrayal of Roy was truly fantastic… I loved every minute of it.“
Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his music and his life.

Paddle in and pitch in
By Abbey Cannan
Locals are being invited to join a community effort to protect the Noosa River by removing the invasive American Sea Rocket weed at the river mouth on Thursday 25 September.
Noosa Integrated Catchment member Yanni van Zijl said the fast-spreading plant had taken hold along the North Shore, posing a threat to vital nesting areas for migratory birds.
“We have noticed a huge infestation and before it spreads to the nesting sand islands, we wish to remove it before it goes to seed,“ Yanni said.
The event is open to all ages and skill levels, with organisers promising it will be a fun, hands-on way to care for the river during the school holidays.
Volunteers will be ferried by boat to the site, with tools provided and morning tea to follow.
“We’d love to see a flotilla of canoes, outriggers, paddle boards and other private craft join us,” Yanni said.
Funding for the event comes from a Queensland Government Tread Lightly Grant – Engaging Science program.

Successful tournament
Arts
Karate Noosa held its yearly Shotokan Karate tournament at the State School Noosaville on Saturday 13 September. The tournament, held under strict Japanese Shotokan rules, was a great success with over 50 competitors (one of which travelled from the Gold Coast) ranging in age from five to 35.
One of the main reasons was that it provided the students traveling to Japan on 25 September, for the World Shotokan Karate Championships in Tokyo, with an opportunity to further develop their skills. Head sensei of Karate Noosa Bryan Dukas Black Belt 6th Dan said: “I was very happy with the way in which all competitors conducted themselves. Their good sportsmanship and manners can only serve to strengthen their character and way of life.”
Students competed in three categories: the Karta, Basic Sparing and Free Sparing. Karate Noosa is a proud member of the World Shotokan Karate-Do Federation (WSKF) and as such is dedicated to building a better community: one Black Belt at a time. The basic principles of good constructed and well -run martial arts clubs is of course tradition, discipline and pride: with many of the arts being traced back hundreds of years. Jiu-Jitsu.
Last weekend Sunday 14 September, a team of 13 adults and 22 junior members of the Noosa Caza Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club travelled to the Caloundra Indoor Stadium to contest the Sunshine Coast Open Jiu-Jitsu Championships. With this being the third of four major tournaments set down on the Sunshine Coast, it was well attended.
At the close of day Noosa’s medal tally was a total of 16 gold, 25 silver and 11 bronze: once again an outstanding result. The overall tally in
the various divisions was, Best Male no gi teamCaza Club second place - Best Junior team-Caza Club third place.
For the girl’s team, in the words of head club coach Yoshi: “Our girls did an amazing job with all competitors winning either a gold or silver medal.” For Scarlet Trigar two gold, Valentina Song Redman gold and silver, Michaela Svoboda gold, and Sophie Panlook and Lily -May Cuthbert it was two silver medals each.
Members are reminded that women’s only classes are held Mondays and Thursdays at the Noosa Headquarters 5.30 -6.30 pm.
According to one of the historians of the arts,
Michael Finn: “Any martial art skill which is not beneficial to both the exponent and society is not a martial art. A thug may use a martial art technique in a fight, but this does not make him a martial artist: had he been taught true martial arts he would not be a thug.” This in the long run, will of course contribute to a better society.
With our shire now being the homeland of three successful and highly respected combat sport clubs, karate, (Karate Noosa, head coach Bryan Dukas Jiu-Jitsu (Caza Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club head coach Yoshi Hasegawa) amateur boxing (Team Impact Head Coach Mark Evans) we can rest assured that there is plenty of good guidance pointing in the right direction for the youth (both male and female) of our community. And these sports are just the tip of the ice berg. Little Athletics.
On Friday night Noosa’s Little Athletics were back on track for the 25/26 season and head coach Mick Hooper was pleased to see so many familiar faces back for another season. New families can join Little Athletics on the first two Friday nights. This Friday the 19th is sure to be a big one.
“One of the highlights is that the kids get a chance to make new friends from different schools that they hadn’t met before. Over the last twenty years I have seen athletes meet and at the end of this time they leave as lifelong friends. Our motto is Family Fun and Fitness, and this exists from 5-16-year-olds. Then there is the Noosa Athletics Club which is for 12 yr olds to Opens.
Many Little athletics will follow the pathways created by the seniors so that one day they will go on to represent their State and Country. “We are expecting a big season this year on the back of Australia’ success at the current World Championships being held in Tokyo. This will create a
desire to compete at the Brisbane Olympics in 2023.”
Pickleball.
The Australian Pickleball Championships will be held from the 29 September to 6 October. It will be held at the Pimpama Sports Hub, Pimpama on the Gold Coast: over 1300 players are expected to compete. Noosa will be represented by over 20 of its members and our youngest competitor will be 25 yr old Henry Chard and our oldest is Mike Keys 81. Good- luck to all competitors. In Noosa’s latest tournament results, last weekend at the Bundaberg QPT Tournament, saw our members come away with a swag of medals: totalling four gold two silver and one bronze. Well done to all Noosa’s members who made the trip up to Bundy and competed on their wonderful, dedicated courts. The Noosa club is hoping that it won’t be too long before they can hold a tournament in Noosa also on dedicated pickleball courts that will enable them to attract players from all over Australia, New Zealand and America. Our local club is currently running come and try sessions for any Noosa Council employee who would like to try the fastest growing sport in the world. Sessions are running three times a day on every Tuesday and Thursday for the month of September. A great initiative by council and the Noosa Pickleball club.
Surf lifesaving.
The first patrolling day for the 25/26 season Surf life Saving Clubs, is Saturday 20 September: and we will start with the Raising of the Flags. As always members are reminded that our core business is, and always will be, beach patrolling and protection of human life. A big community invitation has been extended with members in attendance at 6.30am
Sunshine Coast to host final showdown of 2025
The Sunshine Coast will play host to the final showdown of the 2025 Wheelchair Rugby National League, as Queensland teams lead the competition heading into the season finale.
Wheelchair Rugby Australia (WRA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sunshine Coast Council, strengthening the region’s role as a key supporter of inclusive sport and confirming the Sunshine Coast as the host of Round 3 of the 2025 Wheelchair Rugby National League, to be held at the Caloundra Indoor Stadium from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 September
Dubbed the Sunshine Coast Clash, Round 3 of the 2025 National League will bring together top wheelchair rugby teams from across the country to compete in one of the world’s most dynamic and hard-hitting parasports.
“This MoU signifies a long-term vision for growth and inclusion, and we’re excited to bring the new Sunshine Coast Clash as the thrilling conclusion to the 2025 National League to such a passionate and supportive region,” Wheel-
chair Rugby Australia CEO Chris Nay said.
The 2025 National League season has been dominated by the Queensland teams, with the University of Queensland currently holding the top spot and Bond University close behind in second following strong performances at the Brisbane Bash and Melbourne Invitational earlier this year.
WRA invites Sunshine Coast locals, sports fans, schools and community groups to come and experience the thrill of wheelchair rugby live.
The Sunshine Coast Clash also marks the final major domestic event before a packed international schedule in late 2025. October will see intensive training camps ahead of two key campaigns in November: the national development team’s tour to Prague for Rugbymania, and the Australian Steelers’ defence of their title at the prestigious Asia-Oceania Championships.
Entry to the competition is free.

Colts through to big dance
By Julian Pitts
The Rococco Noosa Tigers colts have advanced into the 2025 QAFL Grand final after a stirring 13 point victory over the highly skilled Morningside at Redlands last Saturday. They will now face the might of Brisbane powerhouse club Aspley at 9am this Saturday at Brighton Homes Arena which is the home base of the Brisbane Lions. Whilst the opening quarter was a very even affair, the contest itself was typical of what one expects of a preliminary final. High pressure, mistake riddled and stoppages everywhere. The Tigers kicked 4 goals to 2 in the second quarter to go into the main break with a 2 goal lead before breaking the game open in the Premiership quarter banging on 5 goals. The final quarter was a titanic slug feast with the Tigers pressure just a constant the entire game, in the end running out 13 point winners in front of what was a very impressive Noosa crowd. Across the board the Noosa boys were just terrific. Onballers Shannon and Caspers had plenty of impact on the result whilst La Monica continued to will himself into each and every contest for the 4 quarters. Co captain Will Cooke, whether in defence or in the ruck, was outstanding and just a constant physical presence as was Darcy Dinnage deep in defence and the ever reliable Wispa (plays like Harris Andrews) Brain.
Up forward no one was braver or had more impact than ‘Juice‘ Delaney Taylor who played a centre half forward role to perfection. Zion Kendall was busy also and the second half from Jai Mure in attack once again had the Noosa faithful more than excited. Riley Mackay was outstanding once again with his run and carry in what was just a fantastic team victory.
Not since 2002 has Noosa had a Colts state champion when names such as Smith, Wallace, Richardson, Johnson and Magin lifted the State league cup up with a unforgettable win over the Suncoast Power in extraodinary circumstances.
Now it’s this group of very impressive young men who represent this town and club at the
highest level of under age footy in the State. Very exciting times at Weyba rd. Big week ahead, let’s get down to training on Thursday night and cheer them on! Kitchen and bar open with Grand Final team selection the highlight!
Speaking of winners, a great day was had by
Sailability Regatta celebrates 14 years
Under clear blue skies and fresh westerly breezes, the 14th annual Sailability Regatta was hosted by the Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club (NYRC) on Thursday 11 September.
This special event once again showcased the power of community, inclusivity, and the pure joy of sailing.
Since its inception in 2010, the Noosa Sailability program has offered people with disability the opportunity to experience the freedom and thrill of being on the water.
Run by dedicated volunteers and supported by a fleet of safe and stable training boats, Sailability provides a welcoming and empowering environment for participants of all abilities.
Each sailor was paired with a qualified instructor aboard a 12-foot Vagabond sailing dinghy, a vessel well-known for its stability and suitability for training. A vigilant safety boat patrolled the course throughout the event, ensuring a safe and smooth experience for all involved.
Close to 30 participants from Endeavour Foundation, Sunshine Butterflies, Equity
Works, Spiral, and a number of independent sailors attended the regatta, and sailed across five heats and a finals race.
• 1st Place - Matthew (Endeavour Foundation)
• 2nd Place - Oliver
• 3rd Place - Sammy (Sunshine Butterflies)
Adding to the occasion, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton attended the regatta, lending her support and cheering on the sailors from the shoreline. Her presence was warmly welcomed by all and further underlined the importance of inclusive programs like Sailability in the Noosa community.
The races were followed by a celebratory barbecue on the riverfront, generously provided by the Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club, where medals were awarded to the winners of each heat. But more than just competition, the event was a celebration of achievement, inclusion, and community spirit.
A huge congratulations to Sailability coordinator Ken Plunkett, the sailing team, and all of the volunteers who make events like these possible.
all at the Noosa Tigers inclusion presentation day last Sunday. Once again a big thank you to Rob Purvis and Brett Evans on another massively successful year with the program.
And congratulations to Grayden Poulsen, Wade Sargent, Dylan Evans and Kai Williams who again
have been selected to represent Queensland at the upcoming coming National titles.
But it’s all eyes on the colts this week as they chase Premierships glory.
Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!

Superfish dementia swim
Clinton Stanley has nominated to swim for Noosa Masters at the Australian Masters Games in Canberra this October.
These championships are close to his heart as Australian Masters will be fundraising for Dementia Australia.
Clinton will be swimming for his Dad Chris, who has Alzheimer’s and has been in care at Arcare Peregian Springs for the past 18 months. Clinton never misses seeing his dad every Monday and it’s so amazing that Chris still knows him. Clinton was born with Down syndrome and he finds it very hard knowing that his dad is losing the wonderful memories they have shared over the past 49 years together.
In 2025 around 433,300 Australians will be living with dementia. The number is expected to almost double in the next 30 years.
Clinton has a wonderful swimming career representing Australia seven times and breaking
79 Down syndrome World Records. Clinton will be competing in six events in freestyle and butterfly over two days. He will be competing against mainstream swimmers.
Clinton is also a lifeguard for Sunshine Beach and works part time for Sweet Story and Compass. He has been a member of Noosa Masters for the past 22 years.
When asked about swimming to raise money for Dementia Australia.
Clinton said: “I will swim for my Dad and raise much needed funds.”
Let’s get behind Cooroy’s Superfish and help him swim for his Dad and to raise money for dementia, a condition that has affected numerous individuals and their families. Let’s hope one day with funding and research there will be a cure.
All donations are tax deductible and receipts are given, here is the link: fundraising.dementia. org.au/fundraisers/clintonstanley

Back to the devastated Bu
Driving out to Malibu for the first time since the January fires last week was quite shocking to me, so many fine oceanfront homes just gone from along Pacific Coast Highway, nothing remaining other than the dusty foundations behind a long line of witch’s hats, I suppose there to prevent tourists like me pulling up to take happy snaps.
So I didn’t – it seemed a bit too much like taking shots of recent gravestones anyway – and when I finally made it up to Pacific Palisades and my friend Hilly took me on a tour of the devastated community of Rustic Canyon, just beyond the immediate neighbourhood, that feeling was compounded.
Nine months on from the January fires, people across Malibu and the Palisades, those who lost their homes and those who still have one, are still trying to deal with the mountain of insurance issues (for those lucky enough to have full coverage), rebuilding permits and dangerous and ongoing toxicity, which is often the hidden killer expense of the survivors. None of it is pretty but the resident spirit remains high, as it always has in the wake of so many natural disasters in recent decades along the Pacific shores of Los Angeles.
Which was why I was so glad to be back at the Malibu Surfing Association’s Longboard Classic for the first time in 15 years, a very special gathering of mal riders from all over the world, made even more special this year with fundraisers for fire victims. My old mate Wally Allan from the Noosa Malibu Club has been a regular at the MSA for the past few years and it was on his urging that I decided to make a business trip to California coincide with the fun fest at the ‘Bu. Last time Noosa had a team of a dozen or more. This time it was me and Wal, under the bogus banner of “Australian Longboard Club”. Oh, and Matty Chojnacki, the Waxhead, who couldn’t make up his mind whether he was representing us or them.
Anyway, I was stoked, if somewhat bemused, to see that the MSA hadn’t changed a bit in the intervening years. I’ve written about the Malibu events way back in the day in this space before, but for clarity my abiding memory of the year I led a Noosa Mal Club team to the Bu, there were so many competitors that heats began and finished in the dark, and I don’t mean dusk, I mean so dark that the judges had torches aimed on us from the tideline and the head judge relayed the wave scores to the talliers in the stand with a battery megaphone.
Well, guess what? This year, when the heat draw finally appeared, I discovered that the 70-79 years men’s round one heat one was first in the water at 6.15am. Having just arrived, I asked a Californian buddy, is it actually light then? Clearly not an early riser, he said of course it was. But it wasn’t. (See pic.)
I was out of bed at 5.30am at Malibu’s cheapest hotel (The M, more than $500 Aussie a night thanks) and sprinting down past the pier in the pitch darkness to find the Waxhead, who had a nine-five McTavish for me to ride. Coach Waxy was only 10 minutes late and waxed the stick for me in the dark while giving me a pep talk on where to sit at low tide First Point, not that it mattered, all I could see was the faint orange of the
emerging sun and the lights on the pier.
The lad means well and I love him dearly, but I really shouldn’t have had those last seven drinks at the welcome party. And then we were paddling out, and of course I paddled too deep and turned a couple of pretty peelers into straight-handers, and so it goes.
But who cares? It was great to catch up with old mates like Otis Sistrunk from Oceanside, who was a regular at the Noosa surf festival for so many years, Kirra Seale and her mum and former world champ Honolua Blomfield and her baby, screenwriter and Bu legend Denny Aaberg, and of course the unofficial mayor of Malibu, Allen Sarlo, who I’ve known since Hawaiian North Shore days half a lifetime ago.
So how did team Australia go? Well, two-thirds of us had to carry the weight and one of them wasn’t your columnist. Wally got a third and Waxhead a fourth. And we all got a few lovely shoulder-high Malibu peelers to ourselves.
As I write this, I’ve just been driven home to the Palisades by an invisible robot after a meeting in Santa Monica. He/she didn’t have much to say but didn’t hit anything either. More about this and other adventures in Cali next week.
Predawn at Malibu.
Nice lineup for the finals.
Aussie team: Wally and son, the Waxhead and your columnist.

NATURAL APPEAL A HIGHLIGHT OF NOOSA

ERLE LEVEY
A fund-raiser dinner at Park and Cove restaurant in Peppers Noosa Resort recently reminded me of how convenient the location is to Hastings St and Main Beach.
Just walk down Morwong Ave for a few hundred metres and you are there.
The development of the resort also came up in discussion while walking around Little Cove last week.
Talking with residents taking their dogs for a walk, as well as visitors enjoying the boardwalk to Noosa National Park, highlighted how people value the natural beauty of the area.
International visitors commented on the way the boardwalk made its way around trees and gave beautiful, filtered views of Laguna Bay.
It’s a reminder of Noosa in the 1960s … with sandy tracks winding their way through rainforest down to the surf beaches.
Similarly, the amount of community discussion prior to Peppers Noosa Resort being built has resulted in a pleasing outcome for residents and visitors alike.
Someone who knows Peppers well is Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Chris Miller.
He is taking a one-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment 8408/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, to auction Friday, 26 September, at 3pm.
“I have experienced first-hand on numerous times how apartments in Peppers Noosa Resort are coveted, and that is understandable,’’ Chris said.
“Holiday bookings are year-round and mostly back-to-back.
“One-bedroom apartments are highly prized because they provide the perfect opportunity for the first-time buyer as well as the seasoned investor who understands the buoyancy of the local market.”
Chris describes apartment 8408 as “a slice of paradise perched amongst rainforest trees.’’

The mid-floor apartment is in Bayview, the building with the least number of apartments, and among the best positions in the resort.
“This is a beautiful one-bedroom apartment,’’ Chis said, “about as good as it gets for a one-bed for position .
“There is a private outlook from a natural rainforest setting. There is a lovely sense of space and light.
“It has a different floorpan to most - highly accessible and with the bedroom suite at the front, and opens onto the balcony.
“You wake to that setting, which also means the living space is larger.’’
The response to the auction campaign has been strong - relatively even between Queensland-based buyers and those from interstate.
This includes locals and Brisbane interests.
As well as the rainforest outlook, interests have been impressed by occupancy rates and returns, Chris said, and recent sales reflect this.
In this case, with wider doorways and technically being wheelchair accessible, the apartment invites you to take off the shoes and go in holiday mode.
The open-plan living comes with modular
sofa, colourful artworks and accessories, all designed to mimic the national park.
Indoors becomes out, thanks to sliders which seemingly disappear to reveal the terrace.
The surrounds of palms and rainforest trees are lush, delightful choruses from the native birdlife are on-song, and it is where some koalas call home.
The galley-style kitchen, with 2-pac and glass cabinetry, has a pantry, Miele dishwasher and cooktop, microwave and fridge; the laundry comes with washing machine and dryer.
The king-size bedroom suite has a built-in robe, and ensuite with walk-in shower, 2-pac cabinetry white single basin. Adjoining is a fully equipped laundry.

RURAL LIFESTYLE ON OFFER
A glorious 29.16ha property at Traveston has attracted more enquiry than dreamed of by the sellers.
Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa are taking the four-bedroom, twobathroom, eight-vehicle house at 374 Kenman Rd to auction Thursday, 25 September, at 4pm.
The sellers were a bit nervous at first about the auction process, Jeanette said.
“It’s only been on the market for just over a week and we’ve already seen many inspections at the property, and with second inspections being arranged.
“Interest has come from as far as Western Australia and Victoria, as well as local interest of land-owners looking to expand their holding.
“This is terrific grazing country and the ground-water means excellent stock carrying capacity.
“It’s attracting interest from families looking for that rural lifestyle as well as those downsizing from larger acreages.’’
The clear, undulating land has four dams, outstanding views from the homestead , and a 12m by 14m shed.
Built 15 years ago to reflect the timeless character of a sandstone homestead, the oneowner residence offers space, comfort, and an outlook stretching across the property then all the way towards Gympie.
Set well back from the road, the single-level four bedroom house with study enjoys privacy.
Spacious living areas with high ceilings open to full-length verandahs. Ducted airconditioning and security screens are fitted.
The main bedroom suite, with a wheelchairaccessible ensuite, is located at one end of the home, while the guest wing features three spacious bedrooms and their own activity room, as well as a smart three-way family bathroom.
The kitchen impresses with its long island bench, walk-in pantry, and easy availability to the verandah.
Outside, there are landscaped gardens,

SET in the most tightly held enclave of Noosa Heads, directly opposite the pristine sands of Little Cove Beach, this exquisitely renovated residence offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a coveted north-facing address on Alderly Terrace - one of only four in this prestigious front-row position gazing across Laguna Bay.
Designed by acclaimed local architect Ken Robinson, the brief was to create a home that defies convention. Not merely a villa, but a house-sized residence of timeless elegance and enduring quality. The result is a sublime fusion of architectural form and coastal function, perfectly attuned to Noosa’s sub-tropical lifestyle and spectacular natural surrounds.
This is the larger of just two private residences on one of the biggest north-facing blocks in Little Cove. It has just completed a meticulous, top-to-bottom transformation using only the finest contemporary materials and finishes. The result is nothing short of breathtaking.
Entry is via the lower ground level, where a secure, oversized double garage and a large lockable storeroom provide practical convenience. A gentle ascent reveals the heart of the home - an expansive living and entertaining zone where light, views, and luxury converge. Filtered vistas across Laguna Bay to the North Shore and Coloured Sands create a dynamic canvas to the front, while to the rear, lush green outlooks frame the newly landscaped pool terrace and tropical gardens.
The kitchen is an architectural showpiece. Taj Mahal stone benchtops with waterfall edges, fluted timber cabinetry, and high-end integrated appliances combine to deliver both beauty and utility. A semi-island breakfast bar and discreet servery link seamlessly to the dining space, designed for effortless entertaining.
The master suite is a private sanctuary, perfectly positioned to capture the northern light. Curved walls and soaring ceilings evoke a sense of calm and space, while the ensuitefinished in travertine and crowned with a skylit glass roof - whispers quiet luxury at every turn.
Entertaining is effortless, with two distinct alfresco zones. To the front, the covered terrace is an ideal setting to watch the sunset across the bay. To the rear, the indoor - outdoor living area dissolves into an alfresco dining terrace and leisure zone, with a stunning mosaic-tiled pool and a lush lawn framed by heliconias and golden cane palms. It’s a private tropical haven, just moments from the ocean.
Upstairs, two beautifully appointed bedrooms continue the home’s architectural rhythm, with raked ceilings, graceful curves, and

natural light. The largest room enjoys a stunning northerly outlook across the bay. A central family bathroom, styled in the same luxurious travertine as the master suite, maintains a sense of continuity and refined design.
Adding further value is a rare future-proofing element: Robinson Architects’ Noosa Councilapproved plans, in perpetuity, to expand the residence to four bedrooms and two additional upper-level decks.
From its commanding position in Little Cove’s front row, to its architectural pedigree, luxurious finishes, and versatile floorplan, this exceptional residence is without equal. Mere minutes from Noosa National Park, Hastings Street, and world-class surf breaks, yet cocooned in complete privacy, it delivers the ultimate in coastal living.
“This is one of Noosa’s most irreplaceable addresses,” says Principal Tom Offermann. “Its scale, architecture, luxury, and unbeatable position make it a once-in-50-year opportunity.”
Marketing agent Nic Hunter adds, “For surfers, nature lovers, or those who value proximity to beach and bush, it’s unrivalled. There’s no place like Noosa Heads, and this is front-row living at its most extraordinary.”
