Men for all seasons By JOLENE OGLE THEY were bakers, clerks, coach drivers and farmers, who left their homes in Noosa Shire to set sail for a bloody war on foreign lands. They were the husbands, brothers, fathers and friends who would never return to the sunny shire of Noosa, would never see their family again, and would be laid to rest in soils far away. From 1914 to 1918, townsfolk farewelled their brave men, many of whom were unaware of the horror that awaited them at Gallipoli and the Western Front, but were determined to fulfil their duty. In researching the fallen Diggers of the Noosa Shire, it has become clear the men from this region were courageous and unrelenting in their duty, with many soldiers commended for their bravery. The Military Medal was bestowed on men from this region who, while under heavy fire from the enemy, carried out their duties with bravery and unrelenting energy and to men who helped wounded soldiers, rescuing them from No Man’s Land, with a disregard for their own personal safety. It is with great pride that a century after the historic landing at Anzac Cove, this week’s Noosa Today is devoted to honouring and remembering those who so bravely gave so much. Lest we forget. Men from the Cooroy and Pomona district who paid the supreme sacrifice (from top left) Private Herbert Pidd, Trooper Robert James Crozier, Private David McConnell, Private Brian Higgins, Private John Williams Hempsall, Private Richard Penney Atkinson, (at right) Private Walter McGrath, Private Albert William Carter of the 15th Battalion and Trooper John Francis Crozier.

LEST WE FORGET

Joy remembers them all By KATIE DE VERTEUIL TEWANTIN resident Joy Anderson is the proud daughter of an original Anzac. Her father John Gilbert (Jack) Ashton was a First Field Company Engineer who sailed abroad in the leading convoy of ships to arrive at Gallipoli’s shores. Having enlisted as a sapper in the August of 1914, Jack boarded the Troop Ship SS ‘Afric’, headed to Albany, Western Australia, where the first convoy assembled and then sailed under the escort of HMAS Sydney destined for Egypt. It was on this voyage that HMAS ‘Sydney’ left the convoy under full steam, smoke pouring from her funnels as she gathered speed. Much excitement arose among the troops as they departed for their next adventure. Little did they know that, ‘The Sydney’ was on her way to sink the German raider ‘Emden’. After a period in Egypt, the First Field Company Engineers received orders to deploy with other Australian and New Zealand units in convoy to the Dardenelles. At dawn on 25 April 1915, Jack’s convoy arrived at what is now referred to as Anzac Cove, Gallipoli. “It was complete and brutal mayhem and Dad’s best friend, known to us only by his nick-name ‘Nugget’ was shot and killed beside him as they ran up the beach,” Joy said. Apart from the story of his dear friend, Joy’s father would only speak to her about the light side of war. “Dad would only talk about the funny stories that happened in war,” she said. “How they exchanged bully-beef for cigarettes with the Turks, tossing them from one trench to the other. “From memory I think he said the Turks preferred jam to bully-beef and I know there was some friendly banter. “In some cases the trenches were only 20 yards apart, which is quite unbelievable when you come to think of it.

“Then the morning of every Anzac Day, he and mum would lie in bed and speak of other experiences of war, which mum would sometimes pass on to us.” Another story that Joy’s father often shared was that of General Birdwood, a leader who moved freely among the troops at Gallipoli and won their respect and affection. “Dad told us how General Birdwood gave him and his mate double rums to go up, under open fire, to put a roof on a dugout,” Joy said. “When they came down, he gave them another double-rum. “After weeks on bully-beef, hard biscuits, jam and black tea they thought all their birthdays had come at once – I think they were both pretty squiffy as a result but very happy. “We loved that story as kids, especially the squiffy bit,” Joy laughed. Excited to pass on her father’s tales, Joy continues to share memories as the clock ticks away.“There is a song, nobody knows it now, but it goes “There’s a Long Long Trail A Winding unto the Land of My Dreams” and finishes with “Till the Day When I’ll be Going Down that Long Long Trail With You”, Joy says before singing the first few lines, out loud. Gentle yet strong, her voice echoes through the small room filled with family photographs and memorabilia, and for a moment Joy is lost to her memories. Elegant in dress and manner, the local retiree’s eyes begin to water as she sits on her chair remembering the words her father used to say to her. “This song,” Joy continues, abruptly returning to the present. “It was often sung at night when things were calm. “The way those male voices were singing must have resonated up that Lone Pine Valley – can you imagine the emotion it would have brought?”

Joy’s father never truly recovered from war, and in 1954 he passed away as a TPI (totally and permanently incapacitated) veteran. Her late husband, Squadron Leader Fred Anderson also passed away as a TPI veteran, having fought as a Catalina pilot in World War II. “No-one who goes to war returns unscathed,” Joy said. The memories of these men will however never be forgotten, for along with her father’s accounts, Joy has in her possession a number of items of memorabilia. This special collection, barely tainted by time includes her father’s medals, his three Anzac ‘A’ badges, sergeant’s stripes along with a Princess Mary cigarette box (a Christmas gift to all troops), his walking wounded belt, cigarette case, shaving mirror, inkwell, an interesting cake of soap, and a book on the Dardenelles. The current president of the Noosa/Tewantin War Widows’ Sub-branch, Joy sees Anzac Day as a time to be taken seriously by all. “At this 100th anniversary we will remember the Anzacs who served in the 1914 to 1918 war, it has a special place in time as it was our baptism of fire as a nation,” Joy said. “All who served in wars to this very day will be remembered with gratitude by a grateful nation and those of us who have special memories.” The dearly loved John Gilbert “Jack” Ashton will be forever remembered in the hearts of daughter Joy Anderson, granddaughter Meredith Clementson; great grandchildren Jessica, Brooke and Holly and great great grandchildren Elke, Digby, Matilda, Pippi, Millie and Fletcher. ’Nugget’ also continues to be remembered each Anzac Day morning by the Ashton descendants, along with Joy’s late husband Fred Anderson. Lest we forget.

Joy’s collection of memorabilia from her father’s time at war. Barely tainted by time it includes her father’s medals, his three Anzac ‘A’ badges, sergeant’s stripes along with a Princess Mary cigarette box (a Christmas gift to all troops), his walking wounded belt, cigarette case, shaving mirror, ink well, an interesting cake of soap and a photograth or her father and his mates.

Tewantin boys did us proud To most they are only names carved into stone – to be glanced upon once or twice a year as part of an Anzac Day or Remembrance Day ritual. But these men on marble were sons, husbands, fathers, brothers and mates. NOOSA TODAY profiles each of the fallen Great War Diggers at Tewantin – and Cooroy on pages 6-8 and Eumundi page 12.

Steve’s soldiering on for Diggers By KATIE DE VERTEUIL

1180408-MB16-15

WITH a strong handshake, bright smile and touch of cheek President of Tewantin/Noosa RSL Sub-Branch, Steve Drake is the epitome of a genuine Aussie bloke. Striding straight to the RSL’s cafe, he takes out his wallet. “What would you like, it’s on me,” he says, his honest smile almost encouraging you to order everything on the menu. Despite being flat out preparing for Anzac Day commemorations, Steve is happy to sit down for a yarn and a cuppa. “I was in the Royal Australian Navy for 30 years and 118 days,” Steve says confidently. “I signed up in August 1969 because my neighbour had joined up a month before and it seemed like a good thing to do at the time. “Steve worked in communications as a radio operator before becoming a specialist in the area. From Morse code and radiotelegraphy to the technologies of today, Steve said that times had significantly changed in naval communications. “In the ’70s when the internet came, it helped create a different defence network,” he said.

“Now there is not a commander who doesn’t have a mobile phone.” During his time in the navy, Steve worked on replenishment ships outside enemy lines. While he never entered into concentrated conflicts, he and his crew came a little too close for comfort on one occasion replenishing ammunition during the Vietnam conflict. Steve retired from the navy in 1999 and for the five years that followed ran his own take-away business to support his three children. He has lived in Noosa for almost two decades and has been the president of Tewantin/Noosa RSL sub branch for the past three years. “The sub-branch is a way of uniting comrades, bringing together people who have experienced a similar lifestyle,” Steve said. “Returning from service it can be difficult to relate to the civilian population. “And while we might not have fought in the same war, there are many similarities between us, things that others would struggle to understand.” The Tewantin/Noosa RSL SubBranch currently has more than 460 members, of whom approximately half are active. Of these, there are between 30-40 WWII veterans, with the bulk having fought in Vietnam onwards.

4 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 23 April, 2015

Now with a Veterans Affairs posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) specialist as part of the services offered by the sub-branch, Steve hopes that more of the young soldiers around will take advantage of the available help. “One of the biggest hurdles of the sub-branch is attracting younger people in to make the most of the services we provide. “Unfortunately there is still this idea that we are just a bunch of old men who sit around and play cards.” “There are plenty of young people who return still today from fighting in the armed forces who suffer PTSD but until they admit the problem is there and seek help, there is nothing that we as a sub-branch can do. “No-one wants to go to war but the government compels us to do so,” Steve continued. “That’s why days like Anzac Day are so important – bringing the community together in recognition of the sacrifice that was made during wars past and who continue to put their lives on the line still today.” Coffee cups drained and a quick glance at his watch, it’s time for Steve to get back to business. There’s plenty to be done, with the last-minute preparations for Saturday’s services awaiting him.

President of Tewantin-Noosa RSL sub-branch Steve Drake has been busily preparing for Anzac Day events.

Diving deep into military history By KATIE DE VERTEUIL IF ANYONE knows about the history of Cooroy’s servicemen and women, it’s Ron and Betty Sutton. Indeed they have spent years working to research the details of those who fought for our country, ensuring that they may be remembered for generations to come. Betty is an historian for the Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical and Historical Research Group Inc. while Ron is heavily involved in Cooroy-Pomona RSL Sub-branch. He was awarded life membership of the sub-branch last year, for 40 years of service. Over the last 10 years the delightful couple have been delving into the local history of Cooroy, with particular focus on both pioneers and the servicemen and women of World War I and transcribing the RSL’s honour boards. Betty also assists with the Adopt-a-Digger program.

“

We research for breakfast, lunch and dinner… RON SUTTON

“I have always been interested in local history since my dad and grandparents told stories of the past,” Betty said. “The research began back in 1997 when Betty looked into the history of Cooroy RSL for the sub-branch 75th anniversary and it went from there. “When I discovered that there was little written of the history of Cooroy, I wanted to change this.” Betty said that the research of servicemen and women was particularly important to keep their names alive. “As they say ‘Lest we forget’,” she said. Although always interesting, the research challenge Ron and Betty have taken on is colossal and the pair are grateful to advances in technology which have eased the task. “Early on in the research we had to go to Brisbane and it was a day spent peering at a microfilm reader,” Ron said. “It’s much easier now as you can find so much online. “It really is amazing what you can discover through the various websites.” While Ron helps his wife with research, his real interest lies with the restoration of World War II military vehicles, of which he now has three Dodge half-ton models and one of the ubiquitous jeeps, which go out on special occasions such as Anzac Day and other parades and shows. As soon as one begins to bring up the topic, his eyes light up and you know you’ll be on for a long chat. “If anyone wants to know anything about World War II military vehicles, Ron is your man,” Betty said affectionately. Having both grown up during World War II, Betty and Ron saw first-hand the effects of war and it is perhaps also for this reason that they are so interested in the history. “We research for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” Ron said. “Come on, don’t exaggerate,” Betty laughed, looking over at her husband. “It never stops though, there is always something that comes up to research,” she agreed. With Anzac Day fast approaching, Betty and Ron are busier than ever, the two retirees excited for the upcoming commemorations.

Their childhood focused on war By KATIE DE VERTEUIL WHILE locals Ron and Betty Sutton were young children at the time World War II broke out in the September of 1939, their memories are vivid, as if it were only yesterday. Born in Sunny Brae Hospital at Eumundi in 1934 and growing up in Belli Park, Ron was aged five at the time. Betty, who comes from a property between Cooroy and Eumundi, was only three. “My earliest memories were of wartime of course,” Betty said, taking a step back in time. “I was born in 1936 and started school in 1941 so the war was raging and as children, we didn’t remember anything else. Betty recalled while riding her horse to school, passing army convoys headed to north Queensland to train and to acclimatise. “I clearly remember the searchlights at night searching for enemy aircraft; the lights were really eerie but we got used to it. It was just part of life.“ Two years older than Betty, Ron also attended school during wartime. “Belli Park was a one-teacher school of about 25 children, from Preparatory classes to Grade 7,” Ron said. “During the war, we saw a lot of convoy traffic almost continuously on the narrow gravel road, and there were many large training camps around the district. “We schoolkids walked along the cattle tracks beside the road to avoid the dust and danger. “Of course this did not stop us from trying to get the soldiers to throw us tins of bully beef and dog biscuits as they passed. These rations were not so palatable when, as “Nashos” (National Servicemen) in the 1950s, we were fed the same stuff when on exercises. These rations were a constant reminder of the war. “The war is still quite vivid to me because of the camps that we were around,” Ron said. “The convoys were there all the while and there was a firing range up the creek, about half a mile, and though we were just kids, we knew very well what was going on there.” Both growing up on farms, Ron and Betty often had visits from local soldiers for supplies. “There were army camps all around

For Ron and Betty Sutton of Cooroy, World War II was their childhood. the district and occasionally a soldier came through the farm, while they were on exercises,” Betty added. “I remember one chap called in and asked for a glass of milk.” While their parents spoke little of the happenings of war, the fear was there. “When we visited our grandparents in Tewantin, the adults talked of Mussolini, Churchill, and Hitler of course ... they were sort of household names. “We knew the Japanese were enemies and that Hitler was a bad man, but I suppose as just kids then, we played around and didn’t take much notice, but the fear was there.” Betty’s father Roy Duke served in the VDC (Voluntary Defence Corps) in WWII, while Ron’s was exempt due to being a dairyfarmer, a role which was part of the essential industries. Rationing was another huge part of wartime in the small country town. “Fuel, food, and clothing was all rationed,” Ron said. “Luckily on the farms it wasn’t quite so bad as things like butter and

meat were always there. “But the rationing of petrol and tyres did made things hard.” When the war finally came to an end in 1945, Ron and Betty remembered the occasion as joyous, however with little difference to any other day. “I think we went to school just the same,” Ron said.“I guess it came over the news and we all threw our hats in the air and said hooray. “The children were issued a victory medal with a red, white and blue ribbon. “But it was a long while before much changed. “The rationing remained for another four years until the change of government in 1949.” While they knew of each other all their lives having grown up in the same area, Ron and Betty didn’t officially meet until their teenage years. Now aged 80 and 78 respectively, Ron and Betty are 59 years married, active members of the Cooroy community and strongly involved in this year’s Anzac commemorations.

A copy of the letter is now held by the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Almost three years after leaving Australia, Private McGrath was killed by an enemy shell on 22 October 1918 while fighting with the 14th Field Artillery Brigade in the battle for Cambrai.

Little Digger’s flight of fancy ON CHRISTMAS night 1918, an orphaned boy wandered into the No 4 Squadron of the Australian Flying Corps at Biggendorf in Germany, begging for food. The young boy had lost his father, a French soldier who was killed in action, and then his mother and sister when their family home was shelled soon after. Luckily for the boy, who was named Little Digger by the squadron, he and Private Timothy William Tovell, an air mechanic, took an instant liking to each other and Tim, along with his brother Ted, “borrowed” a couple of army coats to make a uniform for the young boy. The medical section calculated his age as 11 and 25 December 1918 was set as his birthday. Donning his handmade uniform, Little Digger, or Henri as he was later known, moved with the squadron in February 1919 to France, and then on to England, where he was smuggled on board the ship in a modified oat sack.

Tim decided to “adopt” Digger and when the squadron embarked from England for Australia on 6 May 1919, Little Digger was smuggled on board in a sporting equipment hamper. The ship’s captain discovered he was on board, but let him stay and with the aid of the Queensland Premier Tom Ryan, who was also on board, special permission was granted for him to land in Sydney and move with Tim to his family home in Cooroy to join Tim’s wife, Gertie, daughter Nancy and son Timmy. Eventually the French Consul agreed that Digger could be adopted by Tim Tovell, but he could not be naturalised until he was 21. In 1926, when he was 18, Digger left for Melbourne to work for the RAAF as a civilian member at Point Cook, obtaining an apprenticeship as a fitter and turner. Sadly, on 24 May 1928 Little Digger died

Mystery over timberman’s fate WHILE researching World War I servicemen, Betty Sutton stumbled upon an intriguing article from The Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser, printed on Friday 7 June 1918. It read as follows: “On the Cootharaba-Tewantin Road stands an empty timber getter’s hut and a rusty derelict wagon; the gear is piled alongside the wall and is rusty, otherwise complete. On the wall in crude letters of white runs the legend: “You all take this notice. I have gone to fight the Germans and I don’t know when I’m coming back.

Somebody chip around my humpy against grass fire. All my bullocks is sold except Sambo – him with the cockhorn. Anyone finding him can sell him to the butcher and mind the money till I come back.” Sambo was found and sold... and the money banked ‘against the return’. The humpy is regularly chipped around and the gear is complete as the brave bullock driver left it. God speed him and give him a safe return.” Which leaves us to wonder – who was the timber-getter? And did he return?

Jim asks Why? COOROY’S Jim Dunstan penned this poem while visiting the Australian War Cemetery in Lae, Papua New Guinea. Jim served as a Warrant Officer in the AIF in World War II and spent two years in Papua New Guinea during the South West Pacific campaign. He is a member of the Cooroy-Pomona Sub-Branch of the R.S.L and much loved by the local community.

Why? Well may we ask and wonder, as these silent rows We Pace, Why these young lives were torn asunder, In this distant, hostile place? At peace they lie beneath each stone,the flower of a nation’s youth. Some died together, others died alone, But all fought for liberty, freedom and truth. They went to war unknowing,Of the trials that lay in wait, But there was no question of their going, Nor any questioning of their fate. So much laughter forever stilled, so many young hearts sadly broken.So many dreams that were unfulfilled, so many loving words unspoken.War is the great leveller when it takes its toll, the faint hearted fall, as do the brave. War plays no favourites when it calls the roll, there is no difference, whether saint or knave. Many years have passed since then, Other causes, other conflicts, other foes. But please God we shall never again,need to pace these silent rows.

Leaves fall as the fallen By RON LANE THROUGHOUT many countries of the world there stand monuments dedicated to those men and women who made the supreme sacrifice. Some large, some small, some magnificent, and in rare cases, some beautiful in their simplicity. In the small country town of Eumundi stands what I believe to be twenty of the latter. For years I and many others have passed through the Eumundi thoroughfare known as Memorial Drive, aware that four trees that stand on the sidewalk are not just for shade. They stand in silent tribute to lives lost in far off lands during the First World War. With this being the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli, and being the proud great nephew of a Gallipoli veteran and the son of a New Guinea veteran, I decided as a mark of respect to go in search of the history behind the trees. My first discovery was that there were a further sixteen trees and all were planted for the same reason. From this small country community of Eumundi, eighty-seven men volunteered and twenty did not return. It was for me, the information that made the memorial trees something of great significance. So great was the impact of the trees on the community, that in 1977, when the main thoroughfare was known as Main Street they moved that the name be changed to Memorial Drive. In a heritage register released by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, it states that the British Government prohibited the exhumation and return of bodies. With the cost and problems of overseas travel being way beyond the reach of the average family, it followed that memorials became essential – a place of remembrance, mourning and community respect. Avenues of trees as memorials, and particularly those where each tree is attributed to a particular fallen serviceman were uncommon in Queensland. Most memorials erected during or after the First World War were of the monumental type. The driving impetus for the planting of the memorial trees was provided by the Eumundi Women’s Patriotic Committee. Funds were raised by public subscription the total cost being approximately 100 pounds. The trees were planted during and after the war. The original species were fig and of the twenty planted, five are extant and the other fifteen were replaced with other types including camphor laurels, lilly pillies

Herbert William Cooke aged 21 rank Private, Service No.425. Enlisted on 23/9/1914.

A flame tree stands proud to remembered Walter Joseph Edward Gridley. and jacarandas. The first trees were planted between the railway gates and the CWA Hall, and the first two had to be replanted when the road was widened. Each was surrounded by a two metre by two metre white paling fence and mounted on these were bronze plaques that contained the details of the fallen. Down through the years some of the trees and plaques have again been replaced, however some of the original plaques can be seen in the Eumundi Historical Museum. Apart from Memorial Drive, trees have also been planted on the west side of Gridley Street which runs at right angles to Memorial Drive, within the boundary of Clem Park. Of the twenty Diggers remembered I found two to be of particular interest – the first being Herbert William Cooke and the second Walter Joseph Edward Gridley. Herbert William Cooke, aged 21 rank Private, Service Number 425 enlisted on 23 September 1914, becoming a member of C Company 15 Battalion. After training in Egypt he landed at Gallipoli on 26 April. He

was one of the many diggers sent to an area that was to become famous as ‘Quinns Post’. There have been many words written to describe this post some of the most poignant being, “A day in hell doesn’t equal an hour in these trenches” another wrote “the ground itself, seemed to be wounded and bleeding.” However in the words of Thomas Chataway 15 Battalion – a Digger who was later to become renowned as the battalion historian – “We were the key position to the Anzac line and the post had to be held at all cost.” It was into this hell on earth that 21-year-old old labourer Private Cooke from Eumundi was posted, and sadly on 30 April he was killed as a result of head wounds suffered while fighting in the trenches at Quinn’s. He was buried on the hillside to the right of their landing spot at Gaba Tepe – just two graves away from the famous John Simpson Kirkpatrick, the man with the donkey. Walter Joseph Edward Gridley (known as Ted) age 24, Signaller, Service Number 1937 enlisted 23 August 1915.

Walter was originally a member of the Second Light Horse Regiment, but by 18 March 1918, he was a Signaller in the Sixth Army Field Artillery Brigade. On 28 July 1918, while serving in France, Signaller Ted Gridley was severely wounded in action, suffering multiple gunshot wounds to the legs and compound fractures of the right wrist. He died that same day. Apart from the major sacrifice of losing two sons, both families made outstanding contributions to the community. For the Gridley family apart from Ted, his brother Bob and five first cousins also served. Two of the cousins died one from wounds and the other from disease while a prisoner of war. Both Ted’s grandfather Joe, and his father Walter, played major roles in the establishment and early days of Eumundi. The naming of Gridley Street in Eumundi is in tribute to this family. For the Cookes, Herbert’s father George was the head teacher at the local state school. George was twice married, and as a result a family of seventeen children came into being.

With the outbreak of war eight boys, sons and stepsons of George and his second wife Elizabeth Abraham, enlisted. Of the eight who enlisted, three – Herbert and two step brothers Cyril and Jabez Abraham – did not return. In 1916 Queenslanders were at the forefront of sustaining public expression. They were the first citizens to establish Anzac Day as a day of remembrance, encouraging other states to join them in making Anzac Day a national commemoration. The memorial trees have a strong and continuing association with the community. They also have a special association with the families of the fallen, some of whom still reside in the district. So as we gather on Anzac Day to pay respect and remember those who have served, let us also pay a silent tribute to those people of Queensland whose patriotism and dedication has written a page in the annals of this nation’s history. To the ladies of the Eumundi Women’s Patriotic Committee, who gave birth to this memorial, we salute you.

LEST WE FORGET

Navy veteran’s dawn service By KATIE DE VERTEUIL WHILE Anzac Day has always been a date of great significance for local Vietnam veteran Neil Beasley, this year is sure to be one to remember. The ex-seaman has been selected by the Department of Veterans Affairs to lay a wreath on behalf of all Australian veterans at the dawn service of Villers-Bretonneux, France. The service will be broadcast live from the Memorial back to Australia and to the people of France. Travelling with his wife Jean, who also served in the navy, Neil is both proud and humbled by the honour. “There are plenty of others they could have chosen; I didn’t think they’d pick a sailor from Queensland,” Neil said. “Anzac Day has always been an important occasion in my family and I can tell you now that I’m not going to have a dry eye from start to finish.” Neil served with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) for 20 years having signed up as an 18-year-old back in 1958. For the first 12 years he worked as a cook, and for the remaining eight, as a member of the naval police. As part of the Far East Strategic Reserve, Neil took part in various operations in Malaya, Singapore, Vietnam and Borneo. “I really loved every day in the navy,” he said. “There’s nothing quite like being at sea, out on the open ocean.” Neil’s love of the navy may have also been slightly coloured by the presence of his lovely wife Jean, a radio operator for the RAN who he met onboard. “She chased me until she caught me,” he

laughed. The lovely couple have now been married 54 years. When they travel to France this week, the Beasleys will take the opportunity to visit the graves of a number of relatives who fought in France during WWI. They will also be presenting the Victoria School in Villers-Bretonneux with two framed prints by renowned Australian Artist and family friend d’Arcy Doyle. The Victoria School was built in 1923-’27 as a gift from the children of Victoria, Australia to those of Villers-Bretonneux as proof of their love and good-will towards France. Some 1200 Australian soldiers, fathers and brothers of these children gave their lives for the recapture of the town on 24 and 25 April, 1918. On the building there is an inscription ‘Do not forget Australia’. While they have no personal connection with the school, Neil and Jean wish to show their gratitude on behalf of Australia for remembering the love that was shown all those years ago. “Most places you go, two or three days after Anzac Day nothing more is said until the following year,” Neil said. “This school has a plaque to remember all year round, and for us that is really incredible.”Neil is a loyal member of the Tewantin/Noosa RSL club and is a life subscriber to the sub-branch. He has recently passed on the role of vicepresident of the Noosa Vietnam Veterans Association and has served on the committee for six years.

LEST WE FORGET

Anzac spirit lives in the surf By RON LANE THE RSL and surf life saving clubs across Australia have joined forces to re-enact the Gallipoli landing on various beaches on 25 April. When the enactment is complete and the haunting refrains of the Last Post have drifted across the sands of Noosa Beach, many will retire to gather at the rooms of the TewantinNoosa RSL Club for their traditional morning drinks. As old mates are greeted and family members introduced, we should spare a moment in time to reflect on the history of this proud club, and all those who made it possible.

One such person who will surely do this is a lady whose family is, without a doubt, held in very high regard. Her name is Olive Donaldson and for her family, the Tewantin RSL was a major part of family life. “Our family believed in putting back into the community and what better cause than the local RSL,” she said. But it goes much deeper. Olive’s father, W.J. (Bill) Ross a WWI veteran, was the foundation president of the sub-branch of the RSSAILA Tewantin. The concept for this first came into being in August 1920, when the assistant state secretary of the Queensland RSL, Mr Harry Buchanan MM and Bar, visited Tewantin while on his honeymoon. Buchanan, one of the first

ashore at Gallipoli, together with Olive’s uncle, Mr Ben Ross of Tewantin, gathered together a group of locals who had served overseas to form the sub-branch. As a result of what can now be termed the foundation meeting, the following office-bearers were appointed: president, W.J. (Bill) Ross, vice-president H.J. Johns, secretary, W. Fielding and treasurer H.G. Fielding. Among those appointed to the committee were G. Gibson, G. Burgess and E.T. Johns DCM. In 1928 a man who was to give outstanding services came on board as secretary. His name was Bill Lack. For Olive the fact that her father Bill Ross was first president and her uncle Ben Ross, was a founding member is indeed a great source of pride.

The foundation president Bill Ross, was certainly representative of those who had served overseas, having been a member of the 42nd Australian Infantry Battalion, 10th Artillery Brigade. Bill was involved in several actions the major of which were, Mont St Quentin on 31 August 1918, and the Hindenburg Line 18 September, also in 1918. It was during this engagement that he was gassed and as a result he was to spend time convalescing in a London Hospital. It was during this period that he was reunited with his brother Ben, and another local lad Harry Johns. Shot through both legs during the Battle of Passchendaele in 1916, Ben was taken prisoner and spent two years in a German prison camp, before being repatriated to England in 1918. According to a document written by Bill Ross, regarding the history of the sub-branch, meetings were originally held in the Royal Mail Hotel, Martins Hotel or a the Tewantin School of Arts. The school of arts committee decided to add a room for the purpose of sub-branch meetings. With the support of many local ladies, who were to become the forerunners of the ladies’ auxiliary formed in 1935, the committee of Mrs E. Donovan, Mrs K. Ede, Mrs G. Gibson and Mrs W. Ross (Olive’s mother) were able to raise the necessary funds; but whenever the sub-branch wished to hold meetings, it was found it had been let to some other organisation. Sometime later, Mr. H.F. Walker MLA a Boer War veteran and first member for the seat of Cooroora, was negotiating the purchase of a block of land on the Eastern side of the big fig tree, located opposite the Royal Mail Hotel. However at the same time, the school of arts committee asked the RSL to take over their hall, an offer which they immediately accepted. It was during this period that the local council also offered financial assistance. After Martins Hotel was destroyed by fire, Martins Hall, which stood adjacent was purchased by the sub-branch for 50 pounds. It was decided to pull down both the school of arts and Martin Hall, replacing it with one big hall, which came to be known as the Memorial Hall. Money was tight and funds for the demolition and new building were received via a loan from H.F. Walker and Lionel Donovan. President Bill Ross paid particular note to the outstanding work of both the ladies’ committee, and the returned servicemen. Their contribution to the repayment of the loan was well noted. Another group that gave assistance was the sub-branch of the Gympie RSL and in particular member Clarrie Trudgian. From August 1920 through to 1940 there were men whose names should not be forgotten as their work and loyalty consolidated this great organisation within our community. Just to name a few, Edgar Bennett, Charlie Law, Jack Pope, Earnie Jehu and Arthur Cave, were outstanding. On 1 July 1958, Bill Ross and Bill Lack were awarded Gold Badge Life Membership for services rendered. For Lack it came as recognition for his 31 years as sub-branch secretary and for Bill Ross his work and loyalty since foundation. When peace was declared and local servicemen flocked to join, and work on further extensions began, none was more welcome than Harry Buchanan the founding member from the 1920s. When the former State Treasurer Sir Thomas Hiley KBE opened the extensions on 8th June 1979 he said, “When it comes to national purpose and putting Australia first the RSL stands out like a beacon.’’ In more recent times members, such as Ken Bridges, Wayne Carter, Ian Rowe, Dean Harlow, Bruce Hutcherson, Rob Wareing and Vern Johnson, just to name a few, have passed through their doors and left their mark in the annals of this proud club. The mission statement that covers the creation of the RSL badge, worn to identify its members, says it all. “No wealth or influence can purchase the badge, which may be worn only by those who have served their country”.

LEST WE FORGET

First to fight, last to leave By KATIE DE VERTEUIL PRIVATE Jack Horace White was aboard the very first fleet to land at Gallipoli and the last to leave. At just 18 years of age, the young soldier of Hobart faked his details with the approval of his parents, to enlist in the 1st Australian Clearing Hospital, Australian Imperial Force in September 1914. Private White is today remembered by his youngest daughter Vonnie Cooper, a resident of Tewantin. According to records compiled by his relatives, Jack worked in what was known as a casualty clearing station, the most forward unit on the battlefront to provide emergency surgery and medical assistance, including evacuation. This freed the forward field ambulances from the necessity of holding wounded soldiers, a task which compromised their mobility and prevented them from moving with the brigades they supported. Once allotted an area of beach to establish the clearing station, the unit found the number of casualties waiting to be treated overwhelming for their resources. The unit was clearing casual-

ties for two divisions (30,000 men) while constantly being exposed to shrapnel from artillery fire. In the first three days alone it treated some 2100 casualties, working 20-hour days. The unit remained at Gallipoli until the last day of evacuation (20 December 1915). Jack was among the final party from the unit which consisted of one officer, one non-commissioned officer and six men. Following the evacuation from Gallipoli Jack went on to work in a similar unit at Alexandria, Egypt. In May 1916 he was then “taken on strength” with the 15th Field Ambulance and in June that same year he was sent to Marseilles in France. Immersed in the horrors of trench warfare, Jack’s tasks included retrieving the dead and wounded under heavy fire. During the second battle of Bullecourt in May 1917, he was struck by shrapnel, which left wounds to his right arm and both his feet. Following the conclusion of Bullecourt in June, Jack evacuated to England where he was admitted to hospital. His right arm was subsequently

amputated and removed. Jack returned to Australia on 1 November 1917 and was discharged in June the following year. He married Ethel Kate Cockayne in Hobart on 26 May, 1920 and together they had four daughters - Peg, Patricia, Ruth and Vonnie. In his employment Jack continued to care for the casualties of war as secretary of the Repatriation Hospital in Hobart. Upon returning from war, Jack never spoke of the horrors he’d seen. Indeed, he rarely spoke of those years at all. “The only thing he spoke of war related was his time in Egypt where the men wore funny hats,” Vonnie said. “My father was a deeply humble man and while his physical injuries were a clear reminder of what he had been through he never liked to bring the battlefield back to life.” With the loss of his right arm, Jack had the challenge of re-learning how to do everything, and he was certainly determined. “The only thing Dad couldn’t do was cut up his meat, which

mum would do, always away from the table though, so as not to embarrass him in front of guests,” Vonnie said affectionately. “Oh and driving was always interesting as before the time of indicators, Dad would have to throw his right sleeve out the window,” she laughed. “The day our car had indicators installed it was like all his Christmases had come at once.” While Vonnie’s light-hearted tales brightened the sadness of the solemn conversation, it did not disguise the heartache the war had brought to their family. Indeed, it is rare that Vonnie attends Anzac ceremonies, due to the emotions which they stir. “I’d like to go to pay my respects but I went one year and I cried from start to finish,” Vonnie said. “I couldn’t cope. “I guess it was the way we were brought up. “Those memories were best left in the past.” Private Jack Horace White passed in January 1966, aged 70. For the service and sacrifice he and his fellow servicemen paid for our country, lest we forget.

Vonnie Cooper holds a special commemorative plaque for her father, the late Jack Horace White, an ex-serviceman of World War I.

Modern-day Anzac’s flight of freedom By KATIE DE VERTEUIL WHILE thousands gather across Australia and indeed the world this Saturday to pay tribute to the Anzacs, the services will also honour those who are still fighting to ensure the continued freedom of our nation. Lieutenant-Colonel Tyron de Boer will be among the soldiers marching at this year’s dawn service at Noosa’s Main Beach. A fairly new resident of the shire, Tyron has experienced first-hand the effects of Australia’s campaign in Afghanistan, having been deployed there from August to December in 2013. As commander of the Rotary Wing Task Group, Tyron was in charge of shutting down Australia’s helicopter commitment in Afghanistan which had been going for the last 10 years, following the cessation of flying operations. “I took a team of contractors and army soldiers into the country and we pulled the Chinook helicopters apart, did a bunch of heavy maintenance on them and packed them up to come home,” Tyron said. “We also had to manage all the equipment and spares that had grown over 10 years, which was in the order of 60,000 items. Some of it we couldn’t take back due to quarantine so we’d sell it, dispose of it, or service it and bring it back to Australia.” “The two Australian Chinooks that we were sent to work on were part of a US Army Combat Aviation Brigade which had about 64 helicopters in total.” Although Tyron had been in the army since 1993, and working with the Chinook management for three years prior, this was his first time in Afghanistan. “We were based at Kandahar airfield – a relatively secure airbase which housed around 30,000 coalition troops,” Tyron said. “This was also home to hundreds and hundreds of coalition aircraft, with everything from helicopters, to jet fighters and unmanned drones. “The runway was going 24 hours a day conducting combat missions against the Taliban and supporting coalition troops on the ground. “Everyone on the base was carrying guns and machine-guns and there were quite a lot of civilian contractors there too.” What caught Tyron’s attention however 16 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 23 April, 2015

Tyron de Boer has been in the army for just over 22 years.

upon arrival at the airfield were the blimps which surrounded the area. “One of the bizarre things when you first get there were these big blimps which have cameras and surveillance equipment on the bottom of them,” Tyron said. “As you looked across the horizon they were everywhere, high in the sky, held up by steel cables.” While security was tight, Tyron said the greatest threat came from the surrounding mountains. “The Taliban would get hold of old Russian rockets and mortars and every second or third day they would send them over the fence,” Tyron said. “They’d just walk them in by hand or with their donkeys, put them up against some rocks and set them off. “And while our security system detected them coming through, there’s not much you can do. “The siren sounds and everyone hits the deck - you wait for the bang and hope it’s not near you. “The worst day we had, we had 13 rocket attacks.” Another threat which became more appar-

for the Taliban,” Tyron said. “They weren’t there to win the war in a year – they knew that we would eventually go. “But what we did do was certainly make a difference in the regions where we were at the time.” When reflecting on wars of the past, Tyron sees the turmoil in Afghanistan as a completely different fight. “In early wars it was all about numbers and having one force on the battlefield against another force,” Tyron said. “In Afghanistan there’s no clear enemy. “Most of the Afghani people are farmers and so walk around with guns and the Taliban will quite happily strap bombs to anyone, so you never know where the threat is coming from.” Tyron is currently managing flight simulators for Australia’s new MRH-90 multi-role helicopters which will be replacing the Blackhawk helicopter fleet. On Saturday he and his family will join in local Anzac commemorations. “It’s one of those days that always has a significant meaning and I guess that grows when you’re in the army and even more so once you’ve been deployed.”

ent toward the end of the campaign was the ‘insider’ threat. “The Afghanis we were training would take leave and return to their home village where they would then sometimes be coerced to fight for the Taliban, sometimes having their families threatened, so when they’d come back from holidays they would turn on the coalition force,” Tyron said. With great controversy surrounding Australia’s participation in Afghanistan, Tyron is clear on his stance. “You only have to look at the news today and the stuff that goes on in the Middle East certainly is no longer confined to the Middle East, it reaches out,” he said. “As one of the global leaders I think we have an obligation to provide some assistance and I think the stuff that we are doing is appropriate. “We’re not sending large forces out into combat; the mission now has become more about enabling the Afghan forces to look after themselves, so it’s more a training and mentoring role.” That said, he does not believe the 10-year campaign is likely to make a lasting difference in a country that has been at war for thousands of years. “Fighting has almost become a way of life

LEST WE FORGET

Flew with Bomber Command By KATIE DE VERTEUIL NOOSA local and World War II veteran David Morland has been passionate about flying for as long as he can remember. Indeed he first hit the skies as a young boy back in 1935 – a memory he can easily recall. “I was a member of the Young Australia League, and we were in Sydney and for five shillings we were able to do a joyflight,” David said. “I was 10 years of age and the older boys virtually elbowed me away from windows the whole time.” Fast forward eight years and David was flying in very different conditions, as an air-gunner with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. Aged 18 at the time, David enlisted into the RAAF in February 1943. After ITS at Bradfield Park and Gunnery School at Port Pirie, he was posted to the UK via Wellington bombers, which included a leaflet dropping run from Abbeville to Amiens prior to the Normandy landings. Then it was onto HCCU at Swinderby on Stirlings, and LFU at Syerston on Five Group (Special Duties) Bomber Command based at Waddington. This particular squadron from its first operation on 2 January 1943 to its last on 26 April 1945 was awarded five distinguished service orders (DSOs); 146 Distinguished Flying Crosses (DFCs) , two Conspicious Gallantry Medals (CGM’s) and 36 Distinguished Flying Medals (DFMs). These achievements however came at a high cost, with 590 aircrew killed in action, 117 having become prisoners of war, and 84 who were shot down and evaded capture. Of the seven commanding officers, five were killed in action. David was one of the few who returned home safely, no wounds or scars to his name. At least nothing physical. “Our role was to get the aircraft there and back and have a safe crew, with the job of working as a team together to drop bombs on the enemy,” David said.“We were told we would probably last four trips and that would be finished. “That was the statistic for Bomber Command – the losses were pretty high so you made every day count.”

Because of such tragic odds, crew members tended to keep to themselves, rather than mingle too much with others. “When you were training you played cards and chess with everyone and you laughed and joked and so on, but when you got to the squad-

ron you ran into like a brick wall,” David said. “Which was fairly difficult for an outsider to understand, but after you’d been there and done a few trips yourself, you knew that the chaps that you were talking to wouldn’t be there tomorrow, so you imploded on

your own crew and the seven of you lived together, talked together, drank together and we became very insular in that way. “It was a survival technique I guess. “What was the good of talking to people and becoming mates to then

feel a sense of loss when they did not return? “It was better not to know him. If he remained a stranger then it didn’t matter.” David said the men were extremely grateful for the nine days’ leave each crew had every six weeks to “restore one’s sanity a little bit.” David was dispatched from his duties in September of 1945. He was at the headquarters of Southern Command at the time the war ended and acquired quick release to civil life. He returned to the PostmasterGeneral’s department, personnel division, in charge of a new rehabilitation section for the 3000 PMG employees coming out of the three services. In 1946 David was selected as one of 60 RAAF personnel under W/C Rollo Kingsford Smith for the 250 strong Australian victory contingent travelling to the UK. This was an honour that David remains proud of to this day. Like many returned soldiers David took to the drink to tame the brutal memories of what he had just experienced. “When I returned from war I drank a lot which worried my parents and that went on for quite a while until the lady who became my wife said it was her or the drink so I gave up the drink and didn’t drink again for 10 years,” David said. He and Margaret Jean Connor (“Peg”) married in 1948. Together they have three daughters and three grandsons. The family moved to Tewantin in 1989. While Peg has since passed away, David remains an active resident in the Tewantin community. A loyal member of TewantinNoosa RSL sub-branch, David will be proudly marching in Saturday’s Anzac commemorations.

Make the beach your backyard THE owners have packed and are ready to move so why not make an offer and secure one of the best beachfront blocks in Sunshine Beach. The Hamptons/lighthouse style house is a bonus. Award-winning architect Ian Mitchell designed this oneof-a-kind home on its rare beachfront allotment to make the most of its scenic outlook, capturing an ocean view from every room. While the stunning ocean view will simply take your breath away, this is also a warm, welcoming and functional home, which could easily be enhanced with additional space. The new owner would be able to expand from the lower level or garaging area to create extra bedrooms, or entertaining space. Although this is a fully functional family home, it will make ideal investment for holiday letting, given its superb views and prime location, Richardson and Wrench has projected figures for buyers to peruse. Set in an exclusive street, this home is perhaps one of the area's most recognisable with its perched pole position on Arakoon Crescent.

While noticeable from the beach, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high enough for privacy away from peering eyes. Entrance is via a secure gate with landing access to the kitchen and entertaining areas. Stairs lead down to two bedrooms, bathroom and storage space, or up to the impressive master suite. Stone benchtops are on offer in the kitchen, as well as an Ilve four-burner gas cooktop with grill and teppanyaki plate plus a Bosch dishwasher. A cool palette of whites and greys add to the Hamptonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appeal and complement the blues and greens of the surrounding natural vista. This home has access to it all. There are steps to the beach which makes it practically the home's backyard, or walk to Sunshine Beach village with its eclectic mix of cafes, retail and services. Now is the time to purchase this property, the owners are ready to move and have reduced the price for a quick sale.

Warm to a fireplace of your own The addition of a fireplace will create warmth and ambiance in any home.

bydesign WITH DI HENSHALL PEOPLE often look aghast at me when I suggest we include a fireplace in their proposed or soon-to-be-renovated home - a fire in Noosa? Quelle horreur - are you kidding? It doesn’t get cold enough in Noosa! Well, I have a lot to say about insulation and building for the cold to protect from the heat and so on, but that’s another subject. The question mark still remains with most people when thinking about a fireplace in their Noosa home. Surely this is some sort of joke.

fireplace than just heating up a space.

Our average winter temperatures are around 11 degrees to 22 degrees, with 22 degrees being the maximum average daily temperature.

It comes down to ambience, friendliness, homeliness, comfort, visual beauty, romance and a focal point instead of the TV.

This is the temperature that the day peaks at - not stays at - therefore it is probably a lot colder than that for a large part of the 24 hour period.

I have been accused of having the fire going at home when the doors are wide open - so what, I say, this is why I want a fire - so I can look at it and feel comforted and warm and - homely.

Nothing to be too concerned about, especially if one has arrived here from the southern climes, which makes this sound positively balmy. However, there is more to having a

Some people find it difficult to conceive the idea of a television and a fire in the same vista - in my opinion, a fire and a television (if in the same room) should be either next to each other or above one another, so one

ensure that no residual or radiated heat is transferred between the two.

There is also a misconception that you cannot put a television above a fireplace due to radiated heat wafting up and ruining the television.

There are many stunning fires available in Australia now and I can guarantee that I have never seen a room that hasn’t been enhanced by the introduction of a fireplace - it totally transforms the room - even if you only use it to place candles!

A television can be positioned above a fireplace as long as you follow the instructions given to you by the fire supplier, or installer, as to where the television can be placed. I often recess the television over the fireplace, using Fyrechek (firecheck) board or a similar non-combustible substrate to

Project jobs high priority THE controversial Yaroomba high-rise development is expected to create 4500 construction jobs, 620 hospitality and retail jobs plus a further 1500 jobs in the community, according to developer Sekisui House. Sekisui House developers said they will commit to a Local Industry Participation Plan (LIPP) to ensure Sunshine Coast workers reap the benefits of the proposed Yaroomba project. The project is expected to create an estimated 4500 construction jobs over 12 years over the staged delivery as well as 620 permanent jobs across the five star hotel, retail opportunities, retirement living and an aged care facility, and a wellness centre which would have a flow-on effect of a further 1500 jobs in the community. Sekisui House senior development manager Evan Aldridge said the Yaroomba project would deliver much needed jobs to the Sunshine Coast. “Sekisui House will commit to a Local Industry Participation Plan (LIPP) that would ensure that the Sunshine Coast community benefits from the jobs in the delivery of this project,” Mr Aldridge said. “LIPPs are generally used on large government-funded construction projects, however Sekisui House is committed to the Sunshine Coast community and we will

“We will review the LIPP utilised on the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and see where we can make further improvements to maximise the community benefits for our proposed project.”

LIPPs commonly use a range of methods to maximise local industry and business participation such as structuring building contracts to align with the size and capabilities of local industries or appointing additional tender points to contractors

Master Builders Sunshine Coast regional construction jobs would be welcome on the Sunshine Coast. “The construction industry employs more than 17,000 people across the Sunshine Coast, in fact it is one of the Coast’s biggest employers,” he said. “And a large number of our local tradespeople travel to Brisbane or further afield each day for work.

“We would like to see more major construction jobs locally to provide employment closer to home, especially as some of the big construction projects on the Coast are nearing completion. “A LIPP is a good way to ensure that local people benefit from construction employment. “Sekisui House is committed to working with the council and community to deliver the jobs and economic benefits for the Sunshine Coast and we will continue to work with council to finalise the proposal,” he said.

Anzac art has power to move By KATIE DE VERTEUIL

Over the Top by Dave Gilbert. Pictures: DARRYN SMITH

IN commemoration of this year’s Anzac centenary, members of Tinbeerwah Art Group have compiled a special exhibition paying tribute to those who put their lives on the line during World War I. The collection of around 30 artworks includes a variety of media, styles and subjects each which not only captures ones attention but tells a story that comes from the heart. Co-ordinator Lyn Fraser-Roberts said the group, most of whom had some connection with WWI, wished to do something to show their respects. Her beautiful painting, ‘Unknown Soldier’ has been donated to the Tewantin/Noosa RSL. The original idea for exhibition however came from local Joy Anderson, whose father is an original Anzac. Joy said that the painting of these works was something that had quite an emotional impact on the group. “At the start it was very emotional – people were finding it difficult to capture war due to it being so personal.” It is this emotion however which has ensured a breathtaking exhibition to be viewed by all generations. The Tinbeerwah Art Group’s Gallipoli exhibition is on display at the CWA Hall, Tewantin. Viewing times are 10am to 4pm daily, through until Sunday 26 April.

Coast lifesavers were ‘simply marvellous’ IF I CAN steal Richie Benaud’s well used phrase “marvellous that”, covering the Sunshine Coast results from last week’s National Lifesaving Titles on the Gold Coast. The Sunshine Coast competitors came home with a bagful of medals, more importantly most from the younger brigade representing all clubs. The titles were also a celebration of 100 years of competition, cemented by arguably the two greatest Shannon Eckstein and Trevor Hendy winning. Eckstein’s seventh ironman victory catapults him to the top of the tree, eclipsing his childhood hero Hendy’s previous record of six.

Benny’s

beat BENNY PIKE

The Northcliffe star is what lifesaving is all about, raised on the beach at Surfers Paradise in awe of Hendy and wishing to mirror his idol. His dad Billy, also a Surfers lifesaver, gave Shannon every opportunity through the nipper ranks, juniors and now open competition. The 34-year-old has won every title available, most numerous times and, like he did in last Sunday, he won them easily. But king Trevor shared part of the 100 year joy, with a turn back of

the clock victory in the rescue board with his son TJ. The 46-year-old did what he has always done, upset the norm when he paddled his way across the line to notch his 27th gold medal. What makes his victory more incredible is that his wins have been over four decades. While the Northcliffe Club retained its mantle as the nation’s top club it was great to see three Sunshine Coast clubs in the top 10 – Mooloolaba, Alex Headlands and Maroochydore. Noosa and Sunshine Beach juniors and masters fared well in their areas of competition. The 2016 nationals host Maroochydore had a terrific carnival,

but I noticed with great interest they won several First Aid medals. Not the glorified action but saving lives is really what it’s all about and I know the Swans were very proud of their wins. Behind the scenes were the coaches, believe it or not, former Noosa Clubbie’s Chris Sargent and life member Lenore Grice. Both ladies have had a lifetime involvement with lifesaving and especially with their beloved Noosa, but they would still be smiling from last weekend’s results. My only concern now is that the focus turns to the Sunshine Coast for next year’s titles. My hope is the competition will be divided equally between Moolo-

olaba, Alex and Maroochydore as they are joint hosts. I doubt Maroochydore can successfully duplicate the set-up of Kirra Beach and will really need the other two clubs. Changing sports, it was not a win but the Northern Outlaws’ torrid 18all draw with Caboolture in the first round of the Coast Rugby League competition augurs well for the united club. In football, Noosa scored an emphatic 6-0 win over Beegees, while the Dolphins continued their good early season form. The Noosa Festival of sport in May is shaping up to be the next big event on the Coast calendar. Until next time.

To the team at North Coast Vet Specialists for helping my little furry friend walk again after he was born with a deformed leg. He is the light of our life and we are so happy to see him making such a fast recovery. The entire team have been nothing but helpful and understanding! Thank you. I just want to thank the lady in front of me at the local coffee shop who paid for my coffee. I paid for the person behind me and hopefully they passed it on so someone who was a little tight for money that week was able to enjoy a cuppa on the house. Keep it moving forward!

To the people who leave their cigarette butts on the grass near the river on Gympie Terrace. My family and I went to sit down to enjoy fish and chips by the water, but we had to remove a handful of cigarette butts before we could even sit down. Shame on you. To the person who left their empty milk drink containers in the park at Noosaville. The bin is only a few steps away.

32 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 23 April, 2015

BAT numbers in Wallace Park are continuing to increase at an enormous rate. Some of the animals are large and have taken to hanging over the pathway that many residents use. The bats started to multiply and roost in their thousands a couple of years ago. Residents do not know where they came from but they certainly arrived after human habitation and have taken over a large percentage of the wooded area in Wallace Park. The noise they make can be heard on a 24 hour basis and is particularly disconcerting at night, to say the least, to residents surrounding Wallace Park. The noise is high pitched due to bats jostling for roosting positions on their return. Residents’ furniture, patios, cars, washing, roofs are all spattered with bat faeces as they pass in their thousands overhead and the smell is something else. It is well documented by scientists and health professionals that there are five known bat-borne diseases, including Ross River Fever. The current mayor was issued with copies of several scientific journals from the Queensland Department of Microbiology and the University of Queensland that substantiated this. However, Noosa Hospital recently had a bat colony seek to establish itself in trees nearby and the health authorities were quick to disperse the bats in recognition of the public health risk to staff and patients. The solution to the bat menace lies with council but, unfortunately, although kept well informed, the powers that be refuse to do anything about it and appear content to have residents upset or in danger of disease. Kay Fielden, Tewantin.

Stand up for us I UNDERSTAND the council does not wish to voice their opinion in regards to marriage equality however does their resistance to join 35 other local councils in supporting marriage equality show their true colours? My understanding is that only a signed letter by the council is needed to show their support, yet they are too busy to do this? This is indeed a tokenistic yet important task as it shows the country that we, the community, want change. There are many people living in Noosa; young, old, gay, straight. Why would the council not want to support its own community members in achieving equality? Noosa residents carry a stigma of being old and conservative and there are rumours that the council is afraid of offending these residents if they were to show a united stand for equality. Do these residents really exist? If so, why are their views more important than other residents? And why is it assumed that every older resident would be offended by the council helping community members to achieve equality? It’s time to show your support, council, to your community and all of its members - especially those who are denied equal rights. No more hiding behind rates, rubbish and ridiculous excuses. The community and its members are your responsibility, stand up for what’s right. Megan Morris, Noosa Heads.

Muscles but no brains ANYONE watching the news of the accident involving those hoons at Yatala and the police putting their own lives at risk to save them, would have also seen the shirtless musclebound boy threaten and dare an officer to take his badge off. It’s obvious the boy was sleep deprived after missing out on his afternoon sleep at the creche. E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

Outdated prejudices HOW sad that David Wilson of Noosa Waters is so busy defending what he defines as ‘normal’ he fails to see the human cost of his bigotry (Not So Progressive, Noosa Today, 16 April). Homosexuality is no more a ‘lifestyle choice’ than Mr Wilson’s heterosexuality. Children have a right to a stable home and loving adults to support them. Study after study has determined that the gender or sexuality of parents is not an issue. Stability is an issue and research suggests

LENSCAPE

Gary Rossiter snapped this whistling kite chick while cruising the Noosa Everglades last week. Anyone who has a photo of Noosa's landscape or wildlife that they would like to share can email a high resolution version to newsdesk@noosatoday.net.au. that marriage leads to longer term, more stable relationships. If Mr Wilson’s real concern is the welfare of children he should support marriage equality. Mr Wilson might also consider the weight of psychological research which shows his kind of narrow-minded condemnation is a key factor leading to higher rates of suicide and self-harm in gay and lesbian children. I would rather live in a world in which love and acceptance of difference are normal; a world in which we care more about each other’s happiness and wellbeing than shoring up outdated prejudices. Chrys Stevenson, Mapleton.

Fair cut HAVING informed readers the Federal Government has cut funding from important programs is not the answer because ultimately the cost of the community is too great and vulnerable people will fall by the wayside. Lucy Stanton (Striking At Vulnerable, Noosa Today, 16 April) offers no suggestion as to the means by which the required funds should be raised. (Taking a leaf out of Bill Shorten’s book, it would seem.) Ms Stanton’s concluding reference to “Labor’s proposal to get multinational companies to pay their fair share of tax” is misleading on two fronts. Firstly, it has yet to be shown the companies concerned have acted illegally and, secondly, no action was taken by Labor when in government to establish what a “fair share of tax” would be and to ensure it was paid. E.J. Ash. Boreen Point.

Batty idea IN ANSWER to Nora Lilley’s letter regarding the bats (Going Batty, Noosa Today, 16 April) I would like to point out a few pertinent points. Firstly, Nora, the koalas you would like saved depend on the flying fox to keep the forests they need healthy. Many of our hardwood trees are night pollinators and rather than depending on bees and insects, have evolved around the feeding habits

of the flying fox. So no flying fox, no tree and no koala. In fact, it could be argued that the recent decimation of flying fox numbers is the reason so many species (including koalas) are disappearing. Apart from koalas, let’s not forget the other plants and animals depending on the flying fox including the powerful owl for prey (another endangered species) and forest plants requiring the flying fox to carry their seeds. However, you think we should get rid of these vitally important native animals because you think they smell and squawk? I hate to disappoint you Nora but koalas have an odour and rather than squawk, they grunt and scream (like they’re being murdered). If they were in your backyard, especially during mating season, you would no doubt find this quite unpleasant. Unfortunately, the flying fox can’t just be moved. They have been part of the local landscape for thousands of years and like most wild animals return to camps and breeding grounds of their ancestors for reasons including vegetation, genetic memory and water. Don’t forget, you moved into their territory, not the other way around. I realise ignorance breeds fear and contempt. What I think needs to happen to fix the flying fox “problem“, apart from ensuring their habitat is protected, is the education of the humans who are failing to see their value. The majority of people live near noisy transport, roads and other disturbances yet cope with the sounds, smell, etc because, rather than stressing, they accept it as part of life. However, when faced with the sounds of nature they become distressed. The local lorikeets not so long ago were also the target of a hate campaign. As an aside, I have previously lived very close to a flying fox colony so am well aware of what it is like. The difference was my attitude. Kay Thornton, Cootharaba.

ABOUT a year ago Shaun Cairns of Panga Productions and I sat in his edit suite and watched so much great vision of the 2014 Cricks Noosa Festival of Surfing that we both had the same idea at the same time. This deserves to be a TV show. We cracked a couple of beers and started brainstorming. I first met Shaun in London about a dozen years ago when he was starting to make waves as a super-creative designer and videographer. Since he and wife Carol set up their Panga office in Tewantin, we’ve done a lot of creative projects together, had a hell of a lot of fun doin’

‘em, and have even hit a few home runs with viral funnies on YouTube. I’d like to say that now we’ve hit the ball out of the park with our festival doco 8 Days of Pure Stoke screening in prime time on free-toair national television, but since it’s on something called 7Mate – a channel I only just discovered I had somewhere on the dial between sumo wrestling and how to cook an eel – that might be gilding the lily a bit. Up until 8 Days, our co-productions have all had two things in common – no time and no budget. These minor impediments tend to nurture creativity. For example, when Steph Gilmore and Quiksilver came out with a highly controversial video to promote the Roxy Pro France that included bedroom scenes we saw a way to jump on the back of it (so to speak) with a similar promotion of the Noosa Surf Festival, as long as we acted fast. Shaun and Carol shopped around for some suitably un-sexy under garments, then stayed up all night writing a shot list that mimicked Steph’s to the finest detail, except that a man in his 60s – and since we had no budget for actors, that would be me – played the lead role. We shot the whole thing in a day and it went viral on YouTube within a week. And the silly old bugger who’d appeared in it semi-naked was suddenly making feeble attempts to defend himself on the ABC TV news. Shaun and I did another successful one-day

shoot in Sydney to make a promotional video for a book of mine. It worked so well that we decided to make a film in Bali to promote my book Bali Heaven and Hell. Since the pace of life is slower over there, we gave ourselves three days for this one. Exhausted when I arrived, I started to have respiratory problems, then Shaun arrived from a Sumatran surf trip with a burst eardrum and no hearing. As we lurched from scene to scene, almost falling over, the standard line was: “Are you OK?” “What?” But the show must go on, and it did, and that flick has been a big success, too, with the book now going into its third print run in six months. When we took the idea of a documentary centred on the festival but also outlining the surfing history of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast to the funding bodies, we found fantastic financial support from Tourism Noosa and Sunshine Coast Destination Limited, while Tourism and Events Queensland offered to shop it to TV and the airline in-flights if it was good enough. Noosa surfing pioneers Hayden Kenny and Bob McTavish were generous with their time and festival ambassador and multiple world champion Layne Beachley agreed to come up and host the show. With these guys on board we had a great combo going – waves, warmth and wicked wit – and I guess the show made the grade.

I know it’s Anzac Day on Saturday but if you’re not too tired from the march, 7Mate at 4.30pm. It will also screen on the Qantas sports channel for the month of July. No Anzac fatigue – yet SPEAKING of Anzac Day, I was beginning to feel just the teensiest little bit over the whole damn centenary media overkill, until I channelhopped into Australia’s Great War Horse on the ABC last Sunday night. Here was an Anzac story with a difference. Apart from Simpson’s overworked donkey, I hadn’t even considered the role of our fourlegged friends in the Great War campaigns, mainly because the generals thought horses unsuitable for the Gallipoli landings and sent the Light Horse men in as infantry, with tragic results. In the end, the cavalry triumphed at Beersheba and had a profound effect on the war in the Middle East but when the troops finally shipped out, the gallant horses that had come from Australia with them did not. I had a tear in my eye as this well-crafted documentary recreated poignant scenes of battle survivors being put down by their masters. I’m sure I’ll be able to hold off Anzac fatigue long enough to witness a recreation of a different kind at dawn on Saturday, when Noosa stages its own Gallipoli landing at Main Beach. That’ll be the start of a big day in our house.

CALLING all seafood lovers! Samba Grill has launched a new lunch menu with delicious whole fish barbecued over hot coals starring on the new midday menu. Enjoy succulent, whole snapper served as a share platter, alongside calamari, king prawns and mahi mahi fillets and in true Samba-style, the fish will be delivered to your table on a hot lava rock accompanied by cassava chips, salads and delicious dipping sauces. Samba owner Steve Beak said although the restaurant is best known for its unique Rodizio grilled meats and vegetarian feasts, the decision to add more seafood to the menu was driven by customer demand. “Our fish and prawn curries are very popular, but we’ve been getting some special requests for grilled fish and share platters, especially at lunchtime,” he said. “We thought both ideas were great so decided to combine them.” Steve said there is something pretty special about fresh fish grilled over coals, especially when accompanied by a glass of wine of champagne. “With our riverside loca-

tion, we’re sure the whole fish platter will be a big hit for long, lazy lunches and the takeaway option will suit the picnic crowds,” he said. The new lunch menu is the latest addition to the Brazilian-style cuisine offered at Samba Grill. The Rodizio feast is still available with prime cuts of marinated beef, pork, lamb and chicken skewered and grilled over charcoal served for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday. Samba Grill is located on Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, and is open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday. Samba is fully licensed

Green light for good choices By JOLENE OGLE IT’S all about choice when it comes to eating, according to Poolside Cafe leasee Damian Smith who has just launched the traffic light system to help children stay healthy. The traffic light system separates foods into three categories and colours. Green is for healthy foods that can be enjoyed regularly, red foods are treats that can be enjoyed every now and then and amber is for foods in the middle that are most likely processed and are best enjoyed in moderation. Damian launched the traffic light system at the Poolside Cafe at the Noosa Aquatic Centre on Friday and said he’s already receiving great feedback from kids and parents. “It’s all about giving kids choice and the chance to make good choices,“ he said. “Once the system is explained to the children, they have been making good choices.“ Damian said the traffic light system is a great way to show children the different types of foods available to them, as well as how to learn about good food choices. “If you didn’t sell hot chips and lollies, you would lose about 20 per cent of your business. "But the system allows kids to choose wisely,“ he said. “It’s the same for my kids. If they have their hot chips, that’s their treat for the week and their next choice can be a green food.“ The Poolside Cafe green foods include fresh fruit, soy and dairy free smoothies, chicken salad, raw fruit bars, protein balls and shakes as well as a bacon and egg muffin with no butter or sauce. Lollies, hot chips and chocolate have all earned the red label while amber foods include processed foods with some nutritional value but with moderate levels of added sugars and fats.

Season ends on high By RICHARD MURRIHY

This then saw the side pitted against Hervey Bay and it was a tight game with the scores 2-1. Hervey Bay after the 5th innings but the bay got four runs in in the 6th to take the game, day two was over , and the boys were off to wind down at the team barbecue. The sun greeted the side all again on Sunday morning and again the side was up against Hervey Bay. This time the Bay got off to an early lead and the boys just could not bridge the gap but never gave up trying. Some highlights and there were many two autos by Riley and one by Brayden, two double plays by Riley, who both got three baggers and Riley had a line drive home run. Charles and Riki both got runs from fielder’s choice. Ethan took two great catches in the outfield while Blake, Jed, Brayden, Will, Charles, Dylan, Josh, Riki Jacob all took catches with Riley taking a few more. Dylan Todd and Ethan Lewis pitched well all tournament and should be proud of their efforts. The team was well coached by Richard W who was assisted by Luke Thomas and Beth Thomas with the support of Kim W, scoring and stats and team manager Sheena who kept all the kids fed and hydrated over the three days. Noosa finished 6th overall and their only pool matches they lost were to the two finalists Gladstone and the winners Redlands.

COOLUM BASEBALL WHAT a wonderful way to finish the season at Noosa on the weekend hosting the under 15 boy’s state titles. It was a wonderful effort put together from some great volunteers and of course the wonderful play from all the boys representing the 12 teams who attended. Noosa had a young team with Jacob, Riley, Charles and Will the only ones to have played at this level before and all the boys showed they were capable of playing to the levels expected. The first game they came up against Ipswich and they got off to a great start with an 8-1 victory, the second game was against Redcliffe and the boys were cruising at 13 nil but hit a wall, but eventually hung on to win 13-11 in a nailbiter. The next was Mackay and the boys were behind for most of the game, but rallied in their last bat to take the lead and the victory. Day one was finished and the boys were undefeated. Saturday morning saw the boys come up against Gladstone and the level had stepped up. They were playing against a well-drilled team, the boys stuck with them early but were out muscled in the end, but all played to their best, they then backed up against Redlands and again it was tight but Redlands were a very good all round team and won the game 8-1.

your name down for Thursday bowls commencing at 1pm. Ladies are most welcome. Friday Twilight game was enjoyed by all who played in the balmy afternoon and early evening. Winners were Desley O’Neill and Don Mallett and with two teams on +4 it went to a countback on ends with Jim Farr and Veronis O’Connor taking out runners up. Jackpot carries over to next Friday. Saturday afternoon was the final of the Men’s Pairs Championship and what a great game it turned out to be. Having beaten the 'old guard' through the rounds, Norm Walmsley and Rick Goulding - 'new guard' were determined to triumph over Sam Hands and Bob Andrews. Sam and Bob were leading until about half way when, after a little sprinkle of rain, Norm and Rick started to pull ahead with the eventual outcome being Norm and Rick +21 to Sam and Bob +15. Congratulations Norm and Rick - and to all who played in this Pairs Championship. Saturday 25 April offers a chance for everyone to reflect on those who have served our country throughout the past 100 years. Lest we Forget. NOOSA HEADS BOWLS The final two club championships were decided at Noosa Heads last week. The ladies fours title was taken by the team of

Debbie Austin, Jeanette Emery, Carol Studley and Gill Macdonald. They scored over Cath Haddock, Fran Coules, Sharyn Briggs and Sophie Gale. The men’s pairs final was a real thriller- a neck-andneck battle right down to the wire. After 19 ends the score was tied up at 11 shots all with two ends to play, but then Bob King and David Deane won the last ends to take the title 17-11 over Allan Pearson and John Boyle. King won his first Noosa Heads title 28 years ago and was delighted to bookend his career at the club with this win. A total of 120 bowlers, plus guests, turned out last Saturday for a special benefit day for the family of popular bowler and greenkeeper Garyth Williams who lost his short battle with serious illness last Thursday. A big contingent from the neighbours at Sogo Bar was in attendance and they were among the many who contributed generously to the day. The club closes down in a few weeks and the indications are that about 60 per cent of bowlers will relocate to Tewantin and 20 per cent to Coolum Beach. The rest are still deciding their new home.

Young gun Caine Tickner has set the Tiger faithful alight at Weyba Road last Saturday kicking 10 goals in Noosa’s 20 goal romp of a much improved Moreton Bay. Particularly in the first quarter and a half it was evident that the Moreton Bay Lions had added much strength to the winless team that represented them in 2014.

Tickner deserved both the Rococo’s goal and mark of the week after a sensational 10 goal display. In such a big win there were plenty of Tigers who deserve mentions with skipper Tommy McKittrick amassing a game high 43 touches through the middle. His constant run and ball gathering a major reason why the Tigers were able to overcome Moreton Bay in the second half. Big Zac McDonald toiled hard in the ruck and looks to be getting better with each run whilst new recruit Hill and the evergreen Cubby Isles ran amok at different time of the day.

I’m sure the acquisition of the highly respected Robbie Dickfos as coach has a big On Cubby, a special part of it, however the efforts of strapping young Noosa congrats to he and partner forward Tickner must not be Jayde who just celebrated the arrival of their third child, overlooked. another boy Judd.

Young lead a champion effort Between the

flags RON LANE

THE Australian Championships are over for another year and for our two local clubs Sunshine Beach and Noosa Heads the results have been outstanding. Happy to relate the major achievements have been from our young brigade and both clubs came home with gold, silver and bronze to their credit. Without a doubt, three of the blue-ribbon events have to be the Patrol Championship, Champion Life Saver and First Aid. In the patrol competition, Sunshine Beach has achieved an outstanding result. Over the last 10 years, Sunshine has on five occasions entered this event and on each of the five won the gold. This we believe has never been achieved before. Through the years they have also won medals in the champion life saver. In the champion life saver, under-19 Charlotte Webber won the gold for Noosa. This is the third time that this young lady has taken the gold, having won in the under-17 division two years ago and before that the under-15. During her first season as an under-17 she won silver. In First Aid, the Noosa team of Sarah James and Sally Whytenburg came home with a silver medal in the under-15. Noosa’s record in First Aid is starting to become one of note.

Discounts for new club members

Bronze in the Open Women’s Surf Swim with, from left, Jordan Mercer, Lana Rogers, Alex Nolan and Dahlas Rogers at the 2015 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships at Kirra on the Gold Coast.

As these three events are what lifesaving is all about it is easily to understand the excitement it creates in the clubs. There have been lots of great performances from the members of both clubs and the medal tally speaks for itself. For Sunshine Beach it was eight gold, silver and bronze, and for Noosa it was seven of the same. The most pleasing fact is that medals were won in all events - surf swimming, ski, board iron man and surf teams. This shows great depth and speaks volumes for the future. Among the medal winners, two of the youth competitors have really made their presence felt. They are Mike Sloman of Sunshine and Cooper Williams of Noosa. Two young men showing a lot of promise. But perhaps the most pleasing aspects of

all is the fact that both clubs had many who made the finals - and to do this at the Australians speaks volumes for both the future and the coaching level in our clubs. On Tuesday 19 May, our community will yet again have the opportunity to extend the hand of friendship to a group of very special visitors. Travelling under the sponsorship and guidance of Mates 4 Mates, 10 British and 10 Australian war veterans with varying injuries and illnesses will assemble at Noosa Springs Golf and Spar Resort for a day of golf. The Mates 4 Mates is an organisation formed to assist servicemen in need, so by attending you would be supporting a truly worthy cause. With our country becoming more and more involved in conflicts and peacekeeping around the world it is only right that we should

Spoilt for choice with holiday catches By JACK MANGROVE NOOSA anglers have been spoilt for choice over the Easter holidays with the river, offshore and the beaches all producing some great fish. The Noosa River has again come up with the goods and has seen some good quality tailor in the system, also in the mix were good quality trevally and sea bream. Surface lures have been the go, with poppers and stick baits doing the job on the tailor and the trevally with the bream taking prawns and soft plastic on the bottom. Woods Bay and the river mouth have been firing in the mornings over the last week as these predators feed on the bait brought in on the tide. Whiting have also been on the chew along Gympie Terrace, the Dog Beach and the Frying Pan. Worms and

A couple of the best baits are mullet fillets or local squid. Offshore has also been a hive of activity with some amazing fish taken over the last week. Sunshine Reef has again come up with the goods, with great coral trout taken last week. Sweetlip, cod and perlies also featured highly from the Reef. Pelagics also are still on the chew, with the water temp still sitting in the mid-twenties we are seeing good Spanish and spotted mackerel from most of our reefs. Tuna are also still in good numbers with mac tuna, longtail and yellowfin all taken last week. On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures.

Samantha leaps on By MICHELLE MOORE SAMANTHA Johnson, 15, has been selected to compete in the under-18 women’s 100m hurdles as part of an Australian team of 58 that will compete at the 2015 Oceania Athletics Championships, to be held in Cairns from 8 to 10 May. A Year 11 Good Shepherd Lutheran College student, Samantha has been competing at school athletics and Little Athletics state and national championships since the age

of 10, when she received a scholarship to join Little Athletics Noosa. “Samantha was identified as an athlete with potential to excel in the sport from an early age,” said Little Athletics Noosa coaching director Mick Hooper. “Her commitment to training and continued enthusiasm for athletics has not only made her easy to coach but she has also become a great role model for our younger club members.” Earlier this year Samantha won

silver medals in the 100m and 100m hurdles at the Queensland Junior Athletics championships followed by a bronze medal in the 100m hurdles in a time of 14.45 seconds at the Australian Junior Athletics championships. This, however, will be the first time she has represented Australia in an athletics championships. “I really love athletics and being able to compete for Australia is just amazing,” Samantha said. “This is just an awesome way to finish off my season.”

Masters twice over By TONY FROST FOR the second consecutive year, Noosa Masters Swim Club has achieved the rare distinction of being named winners of the ‘State and National Endurance 1000’ program. Swimmers from all masters clubs are awarded points, based on their age grouping, times achieved and distances covered from 400 to 1500 metres for all strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and medley), along with 30, 45 and 60-minutes swims. This year some 39 Queensland clubs along with 145 clubs from throughout Australia participated. NATIONAL RESULTS: 1st Noosa Masters, Noosa Aquatic Centre – 23,410 points. 2nd Hobart Talays, Clarence Aquatic Centre – 18,124 points. 3rd Vikings Tuggeranong Masters ACT – 13,785 points. 4th Campbelltown Collegians, Bradbury Aquatic Centre, NSW – 13,312

Of the 90 members belonging to Noosa for 2014, 64 swam in the ‘Endurance 1000’ programme and no fewer than five members gained maximum points in the programme – Dyanna Benny, Geoff Lander, Rob Lucas, Mark Powell and Irene Symons. An additional 15 reached more than 500 points – Bob McCausland, Ian Mitchell, Jacky Shields, Brian Cairns, John Lloyd, Adele Tucker, Lynette Clemitson, Wendy Ivanusec, Ian Tucker, Brian Hoepper, Bruce Warren, Mark Besford, Studley Martin, Eulah Varty and Tony Frost.

$$$ Financial freedom Q. What is Financial Freedom ? A. Financial Freedom is quite simply the ability for your investments and super to pay for your lifestyle. Most families who have had good earnings during their working years will need between $60,000 and $150,000 of income to maintain their quality standard of living in retirement. This means they will need more than a million dollars in investments.

Noosa success must be attributed to their Endurance 1000 co-ordinator, Mary Lester, and her trusty assistants, Marcia Kimm and Bruce Warren. “Without so many willing timekeepers and recorders, the results just would not have happened,” Mary Lester said. “Many of these were not swimmers, but just happy to help.” Thanks go to Lorna Lander, Bob Martin, Olga McCausland and Robyn Mitchell. Bring on the 2015 event for the trifecta.

COOLUM TENNIS IT WAS a quiet second week of the Easter holidays. George seemed to enjoy his time at Coolum and ran Andrew’s business very capably. With the new club room being built offsite, the area had to be prepared to place the building on completion. We were extremely happy with the volunteers who came on such short notice. Thanks to Joy, Noelene, Jenny, John, Leon, Noel, John O’D, Tony, Tim, Ian and, of course, the President Des Adsett and co-ordinator of the project Doug Bosworth. Our other project that has been stalled waiting to see where the meeting room is going is the sandpit. A quote is being drawn up to begin work but Des would like some input from the parents of the children who are going to use the area. There is a notice on the whiteboard asking for feedback to be directed to the tennis club by using the email address coolumtennisclub2@ bigpond.com. We will also be talking to parents who come for Fit Tennis with their children. We are lucky enough to have new members still joining the club, who have recently moved to the area. Those who wish to know more about the club can visit behind the swimming pool off the David Low Highway preferably on a Tuesday or Thursday morning before 10am. A new computer has recently been installed but because of the upgraded operating system the email addresses have not transferred easily to the new computer. Those who wish to receive emails from the club are asked to email the club at the above address. Now that term two has started, the club is back to all fixtures with Juniors starting this weekend. The club has lots of teams but there is always room for more players. Those who are interested in junior fixtures or junior coaching can contact Andrew on 0421 391 505 or email him at coolum@ashtennis.com.

John Boland was one of the willing workers who cleared the area behind the club house ready for the new meeting room.
