AN English woman living in Cooroy to look after her elderly mother, is making a desperate plea to stay in theFionacountry.Nelson has been coming to Australia for 15 years to visit her parents, who are Australian citizens. After a lengthy and costly process in September last year, Fiona was granted a one-year visa on compas sionate grounds: her father had been diagnosed with a “particularly aggressive cancer”.Sadly,her father passed away and now, one year later, Fiona is being ex pedited from the country, leaving her 85-year-old mother alone. Fiona said she is asking for anyone willing to spon sor“Myher.present employment in the UK is as a support worker, which I have been doing for the last five years, assisting people with a range of learning and mental health difficulties. “I believe there is a short age of eligible workers in this field here in Australia at“Butpresent.Ihave been informed by a solicitor that the only way I can obtain work here in Australia is by going down the route of sponsor ship.”Fiona said she has con tacted numerous compa nies in both the care and hospitality sectors to no avail.“As soon as the word sponsorship is mentioned, the barriers come up. “I am prepared to contrib ute to the relevant sponsor ship costs and also obtain and complete the neces sary paperwork required.” “At present, my mother is relatively independent but I would like to think I could be here for her when and if she needs my support,” Fiona said. At the time of printing, Fiona will have left the country, leaving behind her mum and her voluntary work at LifeLine. Fiona hopes to return next year for a visit - or lon ger, if she finds a sponsor.

BOUQUETS and wel come to the wonderful new doctors at Cooroy Family Practice. I have found my skin specialist.
IT has been absolutely lovely being home for a bit, catching up with family and friends, staying in our beloved home in Pomona and attending functions (wonderful to see Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival was so busy and I will have a wrap-up next edition on the Mingle with the Mayor’s Ball) that are all part of being your roaming editor. But I have to admit, it’s been difficult too. You see, we’d only just really found our feet with our travels before we came home. After six months on the road, we’d only just started free camping more, we had a great routine going on to accommodate my work, Matt’s work, the kids’ schooling and of course, exploring and enjoying events in the areas we were in. Interestingly, it has been the kids that I've noticed the biggest change in. They have grown so much. To say they struggled being confined to a house block this past month is an understatement! With all that said, I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to have this incredible adventure with my family, to travel and work, and yet, so lucky to be able to come home to this beautiful part of the world and amazing community. But we are looking forward to loading up the van and hitting the road again in September. And I look forward to continuing to bring you editions of our wonderful community newspaper from somewhere in Australia. I’m enjoying being able to share our travels with you – your feedback is amazing and hey, if I can do it, so can you. The world is a different place now; businesses are diversifying and with the technology available anyone is only ever a phone call away. Thank you all for your unwavering support. Your soon-to-be-roaming-again editor, Alex

“Feedback around the appearance of the building included the roof form and colour, its presence on the site, and how it fits with the other buildings around it. “We revised the design to include bullnose veran dahs, a neathingithorticulturearedisabilityexterior,cream-colouredandimprovedaccess.“Thingsstilltoconsiderthesecuritymaterials,andfencingbutwillbeasplit-levelbuildwithacarparkunderthatworkswiththe land; there will be no fill.” As well as the construc tion of the new facility, the build also includes improv ing the existing buildings on the site such as the old jailhouse. “The old cells are the first thing you’ll see so they are going to be done up and painted.”However, there are some members of the communi ty who want the jailhouse moved.Cooroy Memorial Hall committee member Ray Kelly said they would like to see the jailhouse relocated to land beside the Cooroy Memorial Hall. “The CMH committee is championing a project to see the jailhouse moved to council land next to the hall to become part of a memo ry lane, similar to what the RSL club have done on the other side, and make it into an information booth. “We’d still need the police to say okay and then get Noosa Council to agree,” Mr Kelly said. But Ms Jacobsen said the jailhouse still fits in the precinct and will currently stay where it is. “There were offers for the jailhouse to be relocated but there is room to leave the old jailhouse on the site so we will. “It will be moving up the hill closer to the front of the site so it is easier for people to access as part of the heritage walk.” However, it is still un known what will be done with the 55-year-old police residence that will need to be moved or demolished to make way for the new station.“Weare open to sugges tions and a tender process for the relocation of the residence if need be is an option,” Ms Jacobsen said. Acting Assistant Commis sioner Matthew Vanderbyl said he is pleased with the outcomes of the community consultations.“Wehavenever done this process before and we’re pleased with the community interest and support in this project.“Webelieve these second iterations are a better representation of what the community“Softeningwants.thelook better reflects Maple Street, the town plan and the current streetscape, yet it is a fit-for-purpose station,” Mr Vanderbyl said. While the community was invited to provide feedback on the design of the new station, the facility has to be a purpose-built police station.“Wehave to build to ac commodate the future.” There are no current plans to upgrade the number of officers at the station but the new station will be able to accommo date 10 officers and include an office for the officer in charge, a general duties day room, an equipment store, a holding cell and an interview room.
Cooroy Police Sergeant Mal Scott said he thinks the new designs are great. “Thanks for listening to theConstructioncommunity.”of the new station is scheduled to start in early 2023 with comple tion due in 2024.

RESIDENTS are being warned of a new scam that is currently active in the hinterland.The“HiMum” scam has been doing the rounds, fleecing Australians of many thousands of dollars.
Pomona Police OIC Sergeant Dan McNamara said the scam is a European-based operation that is “fairly slick”. “It sends the victim a text or WhatsApp message with none of the usual spelling mistakes, under an unknown number stating something like the following: “‘Hi mum. My other phone crashed, but this is my temporary number. You can save this one, message me if you’ve seen this’.
“The victim usually asks which child is messaging and casually mentions their names and the scammers then have the victim’s child's first name. “Further messaging to the victim states the child has lost their phone and needs financial support, and most parents are understandably very willing to help out and not ask too many questions.”SgtMcNamara said the offenders then ask the victim to either pay a bill or transfer money to an account. “A Pomona local recently lost $10,000 in this way. “If you ever receive a message like this, do not reply to the message and directly contact the alleged family member to confirm it’s legitimate – and obviously, do not provide any personal details or transfer money until you’ve established it’s not a “Thisscam.isareally low act, playing on the victim’s heart strings in this manner so please pass this onto your friends to protect them from these low grubs.” Anyone who has been a victim of the scam should contact their bank immediately and also report the incident online via ReportCyber gov.au).Australiagov.au/)(https://www.cyber.orScamwatch(www.scamwatch.

MYSCOTTlast report contained references to two Cooroy businesses that had been broken into and I’m pleased to report that two offenders have been arrested and charged for these offences. A 32-year-old Woolooga man and a 21-year-old Sexton man have been arrested and charged – and just to prove that the long arm of the law still exists, the offenders were tracked down to Mackay, North Queensland and charged with these and numerous other offences. Evidence from Forensic Police and our Street Safe CCTV camera system proved vital in providing the evidence to make these arrests.Cooroy police were quick to respond to reports of a stolen vehicle in the area; a short pursuit followed by the deployment of the dog squad saw a local 26-yearold male arrested and charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and an evade police offence. Another incident reported to police led to the lockdown of the Palm Lakes Resort in Trading Post Road after reports of a male armed with a knife. PolAir and the dog squad were deployed to this incident with police investigations continuing, but it’s pleasing to note that no persons were injured during this GympieSadly,incident.a22-year-oldladlosthislife in a single vehicle traffic crash on Cooroy Noosa Road late on Wednesday night, 24 August. This is the second fatal traffic crash on Noosa Cooroy Road within the past two months, which is of great concern as we all travel this road on a daily basis.Theact of driving a motor vehicle is one of the most dangerous things that we will do and we all tend to take this task with a touch of nonchalance. This noncha lance is born more from the fact that we all drive so often that the importance of the simple act of driving gets lost in the multitude of tasks that we all need to do. Of course, the significance of driving is immeasurablymultipliedwhenwe have kids and loved ones on board. So please get into the habit of pausing when you get behind the wheel, and remember that so far this year, just over 200 people in Queensland have sat behind the wheel of their car, started the engine and driven off down the road not suspecting for one instant that they were about to die. Imagine the level of utter concentration of those drivers if they suspected they may die during that trip. I suggest that if we all drive like our lives depend on it (which they do) then the roads will be a much safer place. Motorcycles in particular will continue to be targeted by both overt and covert means as these road users continue to be hugely over-represented in the above-mentioned statistics. Police and ambulance officers continue to be called to many cases of people struggling with life and their mental health in general. The main risk factors for these mental health issues are depression, substance use and abuse, and issues within spousal relationships – with separation being a very stressful time. Please take the time to check in on your family and friends and seek help through various agencies where necessary. Remember it's not weak to seek help. Stay safe out there, Mal
"Technical experts have analysed the landslide and, given the complexity and instability of the area, full reconstruction is considered the safest and long-term option.
Mrs Curatolo said the condition of Andersons Road is also not reflected in their rate“Thesystem.roadis not at the same level of safety, and deterioration is fast and constant as a result of the increased traffic, so the roads are also not reflected in our current rate system,” she said. Mr Furdek said Council’s road crews visit the area weekly to carry out maintenance.“Wehave just completed further upgrade work to the temporary crossing on Andersons Road,” he said. While Mrs Curatolo said the rates extension is a step in the right direction but “only temporary appeasement”, Cr Stewart said this is understandably an “incredibly difficult time” for many in the community. “This extension of time for the payment of rates is a small way that we as a council can show both understanding and empathy to those affected by this incredible natural disaster. "We appreciate their patience and understanding as this is new territory for all of us,” Cr Stewart said. Black Mountain residents have to detour around the 150-metre-wide landslide on Black Mountain Road, which is so extensive that it is expected to cost $25 to $30 million to saidDirectorInfrastructurerepair.ServicesLarrySengstockreconstructionwork is being funded by the state government through the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA).

“Although we are appreciative of the acknowledgement and a positive response from council, my family and I feel it does not reflect the situation at hand. “We do not have the services provided to us in a normal capacity. The current waste management does not reflect the rates we pay – whether it is now or in November. This is going to be an ongoing issue until 2024,” Mrs Curatolo said.
Mayor Clare Stewart said the extension recognizes the unprecedented impact faced by residents following the February flooding event. “We are keen to help residents where we can and the three-month extension for this period and for future rates notices will hopefully provide greater cash flow flexibility to those impacted residents,” she said. However, Black Mountain resident Aimee Curatolo said – while appreciative of the acknowledgement and positive response from council – her family feels it does not fully reflect the situation at hand. “I can’t speak on behalf of the Black Mountain community but I can certainly offer my family’s feedback.
Noosa Council has written to all Black Mountain residents, committing to extended discount periods until all landslide works are completed in mid-2024.
Noosa Council’s Communication Manager Ken Furdek said extra waste collections are happening. “We continually talk to our waste contractor who is providing extra collections at the central waste location at Black Mountain,” he said.
“We certainly appreciate the ongoing support of the QRA and are working closely with them to progress the reconstruction work.
"We are still awaiting final designs which will help provide more clarity on exact costs," Mr Sengstock said. Black Mountain residents have until November 19 to take advantage of the five per cent discount on their rates. “Council provides flexible payment options to any resident who may be suffer ing financial hardship and our rates staff are always available to provide advice to help make paying rates more manageable for Noosa ratepayers,” Cr Stewart said.
EXTENDED rate discounts are being offered to Black Mountain residents affected by the landslide that will take two years to fix.

As council staff work through a high volume of planning applications, those that provide a significant community benefit are being prioritised and the approval process fast-tracked.

“We have identified a need for a ‘fit for purpose’ Fast Track clinical area.

THIS year’s Cooroy Moun tain Spring Festival was un precedented, with a record number of people taking the once-a-year opportunity to climb Cooroy Mountain. Rotary Club of Cooroy president, Andrew Aves, said they are pleased to announce this was the fes tival’s biggest year to date. “It was a record-break ing event attracting 2600 visitors and grossing over $40,000.“Thefestival is the major fundraising event for Co oroy Rotary and essential for club members to provide assistance to good causes.” This year’s major bene ficiary was local disability support group, Sunshine Butterflies. Donations will also go to help local Cooroy SES and Black Mountain Rural Fire Brigade and Rotary youth projects including Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, Rotary Young Driver Awareness, Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment, our local Earlyact Club in Pomona State School and the Interact Club at Noosa District State High School whose students worked hard at the festival.
A highlight of this year’s event was the helicopter rides by McDermott Avia tion.McDermott Aviation Busi ness Manager Samantha McDermott said they donat ed their Bell 206 Longrang er for the event and carried out 15 flights on the day. “We’ve donated this helicopter every year since the festival began. It carries five passengers per trip and we did 15 joy flights that day.”Along-standing Cooroy business, McDermott Avi ation is the industry leader in helicopter lifting services, aerial firefighting, natural disaster recovery and more, and their helicopters and pilots are currently helping fight fires overseas. “We have eight helicop ters currently on fire con tract all over Greece. The helicopters have flown 450 hours since June and are fully crewed by our Austra lian pilots and engineers, with Greek translators in the co-pilot seat to help with radio calls. “We are also busy gearing up for the Australian fire season with the first federal government contracts to start in Queensland in mid-September,” Samantha said.

“This sentiment is reflected in the show’s theme ‘Where town meets country’. “We know there are so many young people, especially those who have had limited opportunities to learn about the agricultural and horticultural heritage of our community, who are keen to know where their food comes from. “At the show, they can be introduced to farm animals at the petting zoo, see the judging of stud beef, and look through the different flower, cookery, and craft displays,” said Rob. There will also be events for the whole family, like the traditional Side Show Alley and Friday night fireworks and the immensely popular Honky Tonk Rodeo on Saturday afternoon. “The equestrian events are the mainstays of any show, from the Ekka to our smaller Noosa Country Show, and the horsemanship over both days of the show is worldclass.“We all know that the woodchopping competition has been a favourite for generations, and it will take place from Saturday morning with world-champion axemen competing.

12 - Cooroy Rag, 7 September 2022 DearRegardingEditor, the story about the landslip at Black Mountain and the frustration of residents in a recent edition of your local paper (Cooroy Rag 27 July 2022), I recall many years ago slips occurring in the Blackall Range behind Nambour where the cause had been attributed to the clearing of the land some 70 years previously. After all that time, the residual roots left in the ground from the original trees had finally decayed to the point they no longer pinned the moun tainside together. I see this as possibly contributing to the cause of this recent slip. So in retrospect, this is not a problem caused by council but by past landholders in clearing crucial elements of the vegetation. While I understand the frustration of local residents caused by this situation, some serious planting of deep-rooted trees could be considered. I have noted over the last 50 years of living here, that major land clearing has occurred without consideration of possible consequences for future generations.

QUEENSLAND’S Path to Treaty has reached a historic milestone and the Queensland Government has announced the next steps on the state’s Path to Treaty.Thiswill involve work on the legislative architecture to establish the formal mechanism to enable the Treaty/ Truth Telling process to be enacted and fully realised. Treaty is for Queenslanders.all It’s an opportunity to create a new future between First Nations Queenslanders and non-Indigenous Queenslanders – a process through which all Queenslanders can recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first peoples of the land, winds, sky, and waters we now share. More information can be found at https://www. qld.gov.au/firstnations/treaty. This site will provide you a summary of the process so far, advice about the Independent Interim Body which will be a key driver of Queensland’s Path to Treaty, and news and community updates.Queensland has also secured a major win with the National Emissions Reductions locked in. After a decade of inaction and distraction under the LNP, we’ve now secured agreement between governments to enshrine emissions reductions’ objectives into the laws governing Australia’s energy market. This is all happening while Queensland continues to keep downward pressure on power prices by bringing more renewable energy supply online and investing in storage. This agreement to start work on what will be legally binding energy objectives sends a very clear message to industry and investors that all Australian governments are committed to achieving a decarbonised, affordable and reliable power grid. And make sure to keep an eye out for your $175 energy rebate in your next power bill, which is only possible because the Palaszczuk Labor government has kept Queensland’s power assets under public ownership. Keep up to date by following my Facebook page and signing up to my fortnightly E-News here: https://bit.ly/ NicklinENews Rob IT is great news for our hinterland residents with the completion of the Wahpunga Lane bridge rebuild at Kin Kin. The new concrete bridge has a 100-year life span and being concrete in nature it will reduce the ongoing maintenance costs for our ratepayers. It, along with around 130 other council assets, was impacted by the February floods. Council is working hard to get through the continued enormous workload with our road grad ing teams out and about in our hinterland – specifically Federal, Cooran and Pinbar ren. Currently, crews are repairing around 70 potholes daily across the shire, which is a mammoth task. Speaking of roads, traffic is flowing through the new roundabout at the Cooroy-Noosa Road/Beckmans Road intersection, following the opening of one lane to traffic. Moving traffic onto the roundabout has made room for the rest of the works to be completed, and when finished the two full lanes of the roundabout will be open to traffic. Works now will focus on the northern side of Cooroy-Noosa Road and converting the old section of Beckmans Road into a service road access for nearby residents. Noosa Council is delivering Stage 1 of the Tewantin Bypass project with the Department of Transport and Main Roads as part of the $400 million road stimulus package funded by the Qld Government. $9.81 million has been allocated to upgrade the intersection.Councilisalso upgrading ‘Trail 5’ – also known as Cooroora Trail – which links Pomona to Cooran via Tuchekoi National Park. The upgrade will improve trail-to-town connectivity, increase the use of the trails for educational and recreational use, drive tourism, and enhance their effective ness as firebreaks through out the bushland. Subject to favourable weather and construction conditions, this work will be completed by December 2022. This $1.68 million project has been made possible via funding from the Australian and Queensland Governments’ Local Economic Recovery Program through Category D of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrange ments, which supports projects that improve the community’s resilience and economic recovery. Finally, the first two of our library book vending kiosks have opened. The Peregian Beach ‘BookShelf’ kiosk has more than 200 items available for borrowing. A second library BookShelf kiosk will be up and running at Pomona in the next few months. With the library kiosks in place, we aim to provide easier and improved access to library items. For further information, please see our council website or Facebook pages for further details.Untilnext month, stay safe. Clare Until next month, stay safe. Clare to

Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Cooroy for a successful Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival. Unfortunately my still-recovering broken foot could not tackle the climb; however, next year!Itwas an honour to speak at the official opening of the multipurpose Living Skills Area at Cooran State School enabled by a $33,000 Community Benefit Grant with further dollars from the P&C and Department of Education. With a learning space that doubles as a tuckshop and commercial kitchen, everything grown by students can be prepared and cooked on site – a 14-year dream come true!Congratulations to our Peter Doherty Awards for Excellence in STEM Education winners– Katrina Holewa from Noosa District State High School receiving an Outstanding Teacher of STEM award, and Cooran State School recognised as an Outstanding STEM School. An awesome result from only 28 across the whole state – how proud we are of you! As advised previously, the Lake Macdonald Dam upgrade has been reviewed, with Seqwater undertaking an options analysis which should be presented before end of year. Assurances have been given that should any change occur to the previous drafted design, the amenity of surrounding residents, environment and safety of those living downstream are in all considerations.TheKin Kin Road Project involving a widening of 800 m of the road is moving into the second stage, being approximately 150 m. All four stages of this project are expected to be completed by early 2023 weather permitting, so some patience, as well allowing extra travel time, will be needed. We are still waiting on the determination from Council’s court case and will update as soon as received. There is much more to report, and not much space!

The doctors, nurses, and allied staff of Noosa Hos pital have made mammoth efforts to support residents during the difficult time of Covid and other relevant circumstances by providing high-quality care and services for the northern region of the Coast. Without state government assistance, the Noosa Hospital has been ‘punching above its weight’ all through its 23 years of operation. Now that the hospital is fully owned by Queensland Health and leased and operated by a private company, it is way beyond time for more private beds at the hospital, and for the original public beds to be reinstated as a matter of urgency. The Queensland Government’s present disarray means that the Noosa region can only hope that if our pleas for acknowledgement are not forthcoming from the state government, then they will be at least responded to by the Queensland Opposition in the run-up to the next state election.

NOOSA is well known for being a great place to live and visit. The process of developing a Destination Management Plan (DMP) is to ensure that Noosa continues to be a great place for our residents and visitors.Council has committed to undertake a Destination Management Plan (DMP), an ambitious project that will bring together our tour ism industry, our community and Council with the aim of creating a strategic vision and joint plan that will sup port a well-managed and sustainable destination. Council, through a robust EOI process, three individu als with extensive expertise and knowledge in DMPs, Strategic Planning, Sustain able Tourism and Environ mental and Risk Manage ment were invited to sit on the DMP Project Control Group: Nathaniel Bromley, Wayne Kayler-Thomson and Michael Tarrant. The remaining 26 nomi nees have been invited to join a Community Panel (advisory group) to be in volved in the DMP process. Nominees include repre sentatives from business associations, community organisations and residents from across the Shire. Success of the DMP will therefore be measured by this community by what matters to this community.

DearSinceEditor,Noosa Hospital opened in 1999, Labor governments have presided over a reduction of the 75 public beds which had been dedicated in the original concept along with the 35 private beds, which together made the hospital a game-changing private/ public facility. The massive population increase in the northern region of the Sunshine Coast has been ignored and over looked by Queensland’s Labor government, in spite of the present serious state bed shortage.

Funds raised from the event are put back into the local community, and last year contributed towards the planting of 2,200 tree species in the hinterland, providing shade into the future.Thisyear the event will also offer a one-day walk on the first section. Registrations for both the one-day and three-day walks and an interactive map showing highlights of the route are available online.

WHAT started as an idea to stop books from ending up in landfill has ended in a perma nent bookshop. A few years ago the club saw a need in the community to allow people to donate their books rather than dispose of them. A call went out and hun dreds of books were received from the general public, most of them in pristine condition. This prompted the club to hold a bookfest every four months, which raised funds to support the local community. The book fests proved to be so popular the club decided to take up the challenge of opening a regular bookshop.Thefirstbookshop was set up under the Pomona Community House; however it became too small as the book donations kept rolling in, as did the cus tomers.
The decision was made to shift the Lions bookshop to its current location, on the cor ner of Mountain and Hospital Streets, in April last year and has proved a roaring success. Bookshop volunteers have created an easy-to-find, com fortable environment, and all fiction and non-fiction books are priced at just $2.00 with children’s books at 50 cents. The bookshop is open every Friday and Saturday morning from 8 am until around 12-12:30 pm and all readers are welcome.Todate, the bookshop has raised nearly $17,000 and is nearing the sale of its 10,000th book.Every book donated and every book that is purchased goes to assisting people less fortunate within the community. The Cooroy Pomona Lions Club is also celebrating the 50th year of their charter into the Li ons organisation early in 2022.

Bask Eumundi is in a beautiful tropical setting in the main street of Eumundi, run by the amazing and tal ented couple Jack Madden and Jess Coolican. The specialty of the house is a long, lazy lunch, sharing their gourmet seasonal menu on large platters for you to Althoughshare.the team comes with an extensive list of experience and awards, it feels like being in a beautiful home where one of your friends has made the most authentic country fare. We enjoyed the whipped almond cream on housebaked country loaf for en tree, which was also served with a light and tasty onion tart with just the perfect amount of caramelisation. Because the entrees were light and tasty, there was plenty of room for mains which arrived in generous and hot portions. The menu included slowcooked beef rump cap, divine potato gratin, and al dente vegetables and locally grown mushrooms. We chose to have the ac companying wines with our meal, and they really were a highlight.TheChardonnay was just beautiful and even im pressed the Savvy B-loving Mrs Fork.
Dessert arrived and was a blood orange cake with lovely cream. A very under stated end to an elegant meal.The combination of the home-cooked elegant food, the delicious wines, and the attentive and friendly staff wasonly outshone by the setting and the incredibly warm Jess. If you have a special occa sion coming up, do yourself a favour and book a long lunch at Bask. Easy to see why it has been hailed as one of the best new restaurants to open in Australia this year.

THE combined Rotary Clubs of Cooroy, Eumundi Noosa, Noosa Daybreak and Noosa Heads are organising a free community music event to further engage with the community on the need for people touched by mental health issues to reach out and speak up. The Don’t Bottle It Up (Mental Health) free family fun day is being held on Saturday 17 September from 10 am to 4 pm. Rotary Club of Cooroy President Andrew Aves said the event will feature local musicians and bands, ranging from the talented younger people in the area to some legends of the Sun shine Coast music scene. “There is a consensus of informed opinion that music is a great therapy for people and we hope the message will be recognised at this event.“Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psy chiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war and combat. “Most PTSD therapies fall under the umbrella of cognitive behavioural ther apy (CBT). The idea is to change the thought patterns that are disturbing one’s life. This might happen through talking and is the basis of our Rotary campaign ‘Don’t Bottle It Up’,” Andrew said. Following this event, Rota ry will host a follow-up con ference at Noosa Springs Resort on 5 October.
