Meet the Chefs
at Palmer Coolum Resort
Executive Sous Chef Gareth Collins brings a wealth of expertise and passion for fresh produce to Palmer Coolum Resort’s signature restaurant, Captain’s table. Gareth’s focus is on providing modern Australian cuisine with a menu that reflects the nature of the Sunshine Coast, using only the very best local produce. His established and intimate knowledge of local seasonal ingredients results in creative, well-crafted dishes packed with robust, yet distinct flavours. Q: Who do you draw your influences from? A: For me it is more of a case from where than from whom, I research a lot on the internet, I also get collared into watching all the cooking shows on tv which as you know show some great visuals but most of all I like to eat out when I have the opportunity as this is a great source of influence for me. If I go to a restaurant that excites me then I really involve myself with understanding how this chef works, his mixology and techniques and plate presentation.
GARETH COLLINS
Gareth Collins - CAPTAIN’S TABLE -
Q: Places you’ve worked? A: Gee too many to mention...locally Ricky Ricardo’s in Noosa, Earth Bistro Mooloolaba and Pier Nine in Brisbane and overseas I once worked at the River Café in London and did a stint on the cruise lines for a couple of years in the US. Q: How would you describe your menu style? A: Modern Australian focusing on local produce and sustainable farming methods.
Sous Chef Shaun Dejeet brings energy and zest to Palmer Grill. Shaun’s fresh approach and love of food shines through in his modern creative menu. Using the finest in regional and local produce is the essence of his cuisine. Shaun’s preference is to allow the natural flavours of food to express themselves. Q: Who do you draw your influences from? A: I draw influences from the seasons, being an avid gardener, I use what is growing best around me at the time to dictate what and how I cook. I am constantly reading new cookbooks and menus from chefs worldwide to keep current with food trends and new cooking methods. Q: Places you’ve worked?

SURF CLUB HIGHLIGHTS
SWIM BETWEEN THE FLAGS
However many would not know that in the 1830’s there was by-law which banned swimming during daylight hours. This may seem unthinkable to us today, however our forefathers felt otherwise. Thankfully public opinion claimed that it was immoral, and this bylaw was overruled in early 1902. Australia’s passion for enjoying some of the best that the Australian landscape has to offer, subsequently created the need for Surf
Australia is well recognised as the land of Surf, Sun and Sand
Lifesaving. The first Australian volunteer Surf Life Saving Clubs (SLSC) were formed in 1907 on Sydney beaches. They then rapidly popped up throughout Australian beaches. The Maroochy Surf Club is the oldest Surf Club on the Sunshine Coast, being incorporated in 1916. Many of the locals would have grown up with surf lifesaving as an integral part of their lives, however for those of you who are unaware of who Surf Lifesavers are and what they do, they are men and women who generously volunteer their time to provide supervision on our beaches throughout Australia. Currently, Surf Lifesaving in Queensland has over 8,500 active lifesavers who patrol the beach through community based volunteer clubs.

local surf clubs dining out® sat down with Keith Jackson, the Manager of The Maroochy Surf Club to find out a little more about the Coast’s longest running clubs. Many may not know that the Maroochy Surf Club is actually the oldest Surf Club on the Sunshine Coast, being incorporated in 1916. Keith goes on to mention that “with no loss of life on the beach since incorporation, the Maroochy Surf Club has become one of the most iconic surf clubs in Australia, as well as being well known and respected in National and International Life Saving circles”. The Supporters Club also offers an award winning 220 seat functions room, fully equipped TAB, delightful Bistro with outside dining, bar and gaming that is the ideal venue to relax in while watching some of the best views from Noosa to Mooloolaba. We also stopped off to have a delicious meal with Mal Wright, the General Manager of the Coolum Beach Surf Lifesaving Club. Another long-established club, which has been serving the local community and tourists visiting Coolum Beach beach each year since 1919. Coolum Beach is known for its spectacular setting with the cliffs of Point Perry framing the vista from the south of the club to distant views of Noosa Heads to the North. Coolum Beach SLSC has a proud record of no drowning’s between the Red and Yellow flags and is placed in the top three clubs for patrolling on the Sunshine Coast in 2011/12.
