Passion has global reach

By Abbey Cannan After overcoming obstacles including an overseas move, domestic violence, and successfully raising two young children, a Noosa woman has turned her passion project into a global brand.

Ruby Sillato moved to Noosa when she was six months pregnant with her first child, choosing a quiet and tranquil place to raise kids.

After running her own Italian restaurant in Noosa, she stumbled into live cooking shows as a creative outlet in a definitive transitional moment in her life.

Now she is using her social media platforms with over 80,000 followers, to not only show her love for authentic Italian cooking, but also advocate against domestic violence and online bullying.

Behaving badly Groups of about 200 teenagers aged 15-16 years have been heading to Noosa Heads, Peregian Beach and Sunshine Beach on weekends to drink alcohol and create havoc and police are urging parents to take some responsibility for their behaviour.

Noosa senior sergeant Ben Carroll said over the past few weekends youths had travelled to the coastal villages from Coolum and Noosa hinterland areas including Pomona and Cooroy.

The weekend before last police were called to a disturbance at Peregian Beach.

Last weekend police responded to notifi-

cation of a party being organised in Hastings Street that began about 7.30pm and continued until 2am. Police called in reinforcements from neighbouring police districts to assist them to deal with the youths. They also worked with Translink to gauge their movements. In one instance Translink notified police of 60 youths on a bus making their way to Noosa Heads from Coolum.

A lot of young people were busing to the coast from Coolum, Pomona and Cooroy, he said.

“We tipped out thousands of dollars of alcohol at the bus stop at Hastings Street,” snr sgt Carroll said.

While police were dealing with a group of

youths at Noosa Heads they received word of another group of about 30 youths causing a disturbance at Sunshine Beach.

“They’re all on social media. We’re in one spot so they move elsewhere,” he said.

“We made three arrests of juveniles for abusive, foul language directed at police and disorderly conduct.”

Social media also reported disruptive behaviour from youths running across the rooftops of shops at Sunshine Beach.

Snr sgt Carroll said some youths came from outside the region but many were students at Coolum, Sunshine Beach and Noosa District state high schools.

This week police planned to work with the child protection unit to visit local schools to discuss this issue.

“Police can’t solve this problem on their own,” snr sgt Carroll said.

“Police are urging parents to know what their children are up to on the weekends and to take parental responsibility. We implore parents to take responsibility.”

Police hope the return of sport that has been cancelled over recent months due to Covid-19 restrictions will provide some students with alternate avenues for their activities and dissuade them from involvement in recent unwanted behaviour.

Every Sunday 6am to Midday It’s a way of life.

Bob Abbot moved by medal honour

An architecturally interesting building surrounded by native bushland providing habitat to vulnerable and endangered species is up for grabs in Tewantin for the bargain price of $1.7m after council passed on its option to buy.

The former Noosa TAFE building must be one of only a few buildings vacant at present with holiday makers filling the shire.

It’s not the only building attracting attention this week with Noosa claiming a wad of architectural awards across the region.

Attracting attention for all the wrong reasons are the hundreds of high school kids who have been taking local police on a merry chase across the coastal villages.

It may come as a surprise to some readers to find out what their little darlings have been up to until 2 in the morning.

Fortunately for police and all those residents who were awoken by the drunken antics school has returned and many sports are beginning again so with a bit of luck the teens will be too busy to rampage around the streets.

If streets or rather their names are of interest many readers will be fascinated to follow Phil Jarratt to discover the meaning behind your street’s name.

Former Noosa mayor Bob Abbot collected his Medal of the Order of Australia from the Queensland Governor in a private ceremony on Monday.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions the ceremony included only four members of his family - his two sons, his son’s wife and his sister and the governor.

“He pinned the gong on and said thanks,” he said.

“It was quite emotional. More emotional than I thought it would be.

Mr Abbot said the presence of his partner of 18 years Sue Coburn who died 12 months ago was flashing around him and his sister was casting his father’s eye over it all.

“He would have been very proud,” he said of his father.

Sue was involved in the application for the honour but, sadly didn’t live to see it come to fruition.

Mr Abbot said the award was a physical recognition of his work but it was the comments and congratulations from people in the community that meant the most to him.

Mr Abbot was mayor of Noosa from 1997 to 2008 and mayor of Sunshine Coast from 2008 to 2012 and undefeated in every election he contested.

In 2007 he led a 10,000-strong protest march in Brisbane against the merging of Noosa, Caloundra and Maroochydore shire councils.

Noosa’s future in the plan

By Margaret Maccoll After four years in the planning the New Noosa Plan was yesterday before Noosa Council for adoption after receiving approval by the Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning.

Since 2016 Noosa Council worked towards the adoption of the planning scheme with the final version a result of extensive community input, review and input from various State agencies and extensive consideration by Council.

On 12 December 2019 Council sought Ministerial endorsement of the new planning scheme. Since then Council officers have been refining the content of the draft scheme in response to State considerations.

On 18 February 2020 Council received advice from the Minister that Council could proceed to adopt the planning scheme subject to a number of amendments.

Noosa Plan’s rules on short-term accommodation have attracted particular interest from the Minister with an array of requirements demanded in relation to them.

Changes of the plan were required to proposed medium, high density residential and tourist accommodation zones to ensure consistency with the Planning Act and the Planning Regulation.

Within three months of adoption of the plan Council are required to publish a comprehensive guide explaining the regulatory requirements for operating short-term accommodation in the shire.

For two years Council is to monitor the outcomes relating to short-term accommodation, tourism and housing supply across the residential zones. The monitoring needs to include comparison data to demonstrate the relevance of the scheme, the economic and social benefits across the residential zones, housing supply, diversity and tourism.

The monitoring must be “evidence-driven, comprehensive, and prepared in a detailed manner” and a report on it prepared and sent to the Minister within six months of completion.

Other amendments the Minister required

of the plan included the integration of the State interest: Natural hazards, risk and resilience (Erosion prone areas) mapping, which will provide assessment benchmarks for development in the erosion prone areas.

Council had to amend the Bushfire Hazard overlay map to reflect the bushfire prone area identified on the State Planning Policy Interactive Mapping System.

The Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands maps have been amended to reflect the Matters of State Environmental Significance (MSES) identified on the State Planning Policy

Interactive Mapping System, including nature refuges, wetlands, wildlife and fish habitat.

Changes were made to meet social housing performance outcomes and to reflect new koala conservation planning controls Within 12 months of adoption of the plan Council is required to commence a review the provisions of the Noosa Business Centre to provide more detailed planning guidance and outcomes to reflect its role as a Major Centre for Noosa.

If adopted by Council the planning scheme will commence on 31 July.

Councillors deliver ‘grassroots’ rates notice freeze Noosa Councillors have delivered a freeze on rates notices as part of a “grassroots-style” $125 million budget that strives to guide residents and business on the Covid-19 road to recovery.

About 80 per cent of Noosa ratepayers will receive no increase in their total rates charges, in recognition of the severe impact the pandemic has had on the community.

“This has been an extremely difficult and challenging budget,” Noosa mayor Clare Stewart said.

“We have reduced a number of levies to offset the CPI increases in the general rate and the three-bin waste collection charge to help ease the burden on household budgets,” she said.

The waste collection charge increases by $6.50, while the environment levy is reduced by $14, the sustainable transport levy by $7.50 and the heritage levy drops $5.

“We have been very frugal in where we spend money to ensure we deliver what the ratepayers expect,” she said.

“By putting residents and businesses first with a financially responsible budget, I’m confident that we are well placed to not only recover but come out even stronger

than before,” she said.

The additional support for Covid-19 recovery has resulted in a forecast operating deficit of $1.8 million for the 2020-21 financial year. Council’s financial plan shows a gradual return to an operating surplus position in 2023.

“We have meticulously reviewed our expenditure and tackled this challenge head on, to mitigate the direct impact on ratepayers while continuing to invest in services and infrastructure,” Cr Stewart said.

The budget features a $27 million capital works program which includes projects funded from the State and Federal Government Covid stimulus packages.

“We are still delivering roads, new bridges, and community-based projects and maintaining a strong commitment to the environment,” she said.

“Despite the challenges of Covid, we are again spending about $56 of every $100 in general rates we receive directly to either maintaining, replacing or building roads, bridges, pathways and other community infrastructure.”

There are over 55 capital projects to be delivered across the shire this financial year.

Noosa Councillors have adopted the 2020-21 Budget.

Ruby Sillato has made her passion her job.

Her passion’s on the plate

By Abbey Cannan After moving to Australia from Italy 13 years ago, a Noosa local has managed to turn her passion into a job, all the while raising two kids and being an advocate against domestic violence.

Ruby Sillato arrived in Noosa when she was six months pregnant with her first child, choosing a quiet and tranquil place to raise kids.

“I owned a little Italian restaurant in the Junction called Ipazzi, and ran it successfully for four years,” Ruby said.

“I then had some relationship/ family issues and decided to move on and start a new chapter of my life.

“All of the sudden I had no income, I was living in a small unit and had two very young children to raise on my own, with no family and friends support around.

“It was a very difficult time, starting again to work as a waitress, and having no security whatsoever made that time of my life a very tough one.”

Just for fun, Ruby decided to explore a type of social media that was still building popularity in Australia, live streaming.

“I discovered it by mistake and thanks to a Twitter owned app, Periscope, I opened up myself to the world,” she said.

“I started to talk to the camera to strangers, which was so much easier since there was no type of personal connection and people were from other countries, mostly USA and Europe.

“Those strangers became my friends and connections, they became a digital family that helped me so much.

“I shared my experiences and talked a lot, so much that people started to appreciate my ’talk shows’ and the audience continued to grow.

“It was my free therapy, live streaming helped me immensely, to overcome a very dark moment of my life, and especially to appreciate myself, to value myself.”

While unleashing her potentials through 4 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 July, 2020

social media trends, Ruby also learnt how to deal with and confront online bullying.

“The more I learnt, the more I helped people to find a positive outcome of life and the more I shared my past experiences and personal stories, the more I felt free,” she said.

“I speak about domestic violence a lot based on my personal journey, but I mostly want that

to be a way to inspire people to speak up and share their story too.

“I helped so many women and men with similar stories, and that gave me the motivation to keep going.”

While doing her live shows, Ruby started to receive many requests from her viewers for recipes.

Those requests then sparked the idea for her cooking show in a live streaming format, which has now been going for four years.

“I always loved cooking because of my mum, she’s a great cook and the typical Italian mum that never stops cooking for others,” Ruby said.

“Since I also owned a restaurant I learnt a lot about food and cooking on a more professional level, but I’m not a chef nor do I pretend to be one, my cooking shows became popular almost by mistake while filming my lives.

“People loved my Italian recipes, and the authentic touch I brought.

“I do Italian dishes on my social media and my strong dishes are pasta dishes, especially the Sicilian ones, which is where I come from originally.”

Ruby’s shows started to produce income and so three years ago, she decided to quit her waiting job and focus on this new venture, and it worked.

“Slowly my cooking shows became a business and my social media handle became a brand,” she said.

“Ruby Noosa is now a global brand that accumulated, over the years, 80k followers and more than 45 million impressions (likes) on my videos.

“Funny because not many people around Noosa know this, since my audience grew organically in USA and Europe mostly.“If you would have told me five years ago that I would create an income cooking my favourites dishes at home in my tiny kitchen and in front of an iPhone talking to myself, I would have laughed so hard and probably thinking you were crazy.

“But we do live in a world that is moving fast and so social media.

“Now managing social media accounts for Noosa businesses has become my second business and once again I have to thank this amazing town for trusting me and making me believe that with hard work and passion, anything is possible.”

Dumping on North Shore

By Margaret Maccoll The lack of public toilet and rubbish facilities along Noosa North Shore continues to be an issue for locals who have called for them for years.

“After a holiday period the “overflow” of both these is evident on the beach and people do spend time volunteering to clean up,” one local resident said.

“Toilets at First Cutting to service the needs of the adventure camp, hotel and holiday makers, makes sense.”

Twice a year the Sunshine Coast branch of Surfrider Foundation Australia works with Noosa and Gympie councils and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) officers to clean up the area from First to Third Cutting.

Surfrider Sunshine Coast president Stephen James said two to five tons of rubbish were removed each clean up.

This year because of Covid-19 restrictions numbers permitted to the area have been reduced.

The coronavirus has also led Surfrider to cancel rubbish removal usually held in July with the next clean up scheduled for October.

Mr James said a lot of work had been done to keep the area clean and educate campers.

Siting a toilet at one end of the beach may be an expensive exercise but not a simple solution.

But with an average arrival of 2500 campers visiting during holidays the days of digging toilet holes has past.

A Department of Environment and Science spokesperson said there were no plans to construct toilet facilities at First Cutting.

“QPWS provides toilet facilities at Double Island Point and Freshwater Campground which are available for day visitors and campers to Teewah Beach,“ the spokesperson said.

“Toilet facilities are also available on both sides of the Noosa River ferry crossing.“ QPWS has recently constructed a waste disposal facility (Dump-ezy) at Noosa North Shore’s Second cutting.

The facility will become operational in the coming weeks and will be available to all campers.

It will become the second Dump-ezy facility for the recreation area and complements the existing facility at the Freshwater Day Use Area.

“QPWS promotes minimal impact beach camping practices and encourages campers to bring their own portable toilets,” the spokesperson said.

“Campers can empty their portable toilets as soon as they depart the beach, and this fa-

cility will assist campers to transition to the greater use of portable toilets.

“Rangers will promote appropriate and sustainable visitor behaviour and practices and will take enforcement action if and when necessary.”

Climate emergency rep nominated Noosa councillor Brian Stockwell has been nominated to represent Queensland on the Strategic Advisory Board of Climate Emergency Australia.

Councillor Tom Wegener nominated Cr Stockwell at Council’s General Meeting on Monday saying he was the longest standing councillor and most knowledgeable in the field.

Cr Stockwell was pleased to be nominated for the position after working in the area for decades. He said two-third of emissions in the Noosa Shire emanated from Noosa landfill.

In his position on the advisory board he would endeavour to get higher levels of government to invest in finding solutions to landfill emissions, he said.

Noosa Council’s place on the advisory board results from it being the only Queensland local government to have declared a climate emergency.

In 2019, Noosa Council became one of 96 Australian local governments to do so. The group represent 8.66 million Australian residents.

Identifying the need for a consistent and coordinated response from local governments, Climate Emergency Australia (CEA) was coined at the National Climate Emergency Summit in Melbourne in February 2020. CEA is an alliance of local governments working together to have all levels of government acknowledge and respond to the climate emergency with urgency and based on scientific evidence.

CEA aims to support all councils to share knowledge, resources and to work together to achieve the common goal of effectively responding to the climate emergency from both a Council and community perspective.

A Strategic Advisory Group will guide the work of CEA during the 12-month start-up period following its initiation, and act as the voice of the group.

A CEA spokeswoman told Council’s Planning and Environment Meeting last week the Council’s representative would be required to participate in online meetings about once a month but no financial contribution was required from Noosa Council.

Council’s representative on the advisory board will be ratified at its Ordinary Meeting.

Kicking in for Kin Kin A team of Noosa erosion busters are receiving Australian Government support for their efforts to reduce sediment volumes in Lake Cootharaba while also boosting the catchment’s soil health and farm productivity.

The Keeping It In Kin Kin (KIIKK) project is working with local farmers and landholders to target erosion hot spots and improve the quality of water flowing into the lake and topsoil biodiversity.

Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said Noosa and District Landcare is using $49,887 from the Smart Farms Small

Grants program to conduct on-ground activities and landholder engagement.

“Lake Cootharaba is one of Queensland’s most popular natural spots, as well as also being an important recreational drawcard and water resource - it needs to be managed carefully,” Minister Littleproud said.

“The KIIKK project’s main aim is to actively engage with landholders to create an awareness of land management practices and remediation tools that will aid in the reduction of sediment movement.

“The Australian Government applauds the

way the community has mobilised to improve this critical local asset while also assisting farmers to adopt sustainable land management practices which will enhance their production systems.”

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien said one of the key benefits of the KIIKK project will be the prevention of the loss of productive top-soil from primary production land.

“Partnering with local landholders to improve practices that enhance soil health and condition is a fundamental aspect of this project,” Mr O’Brien said.

“On-ground activities will extend the area of natural riparian habitat, address soil erosion issues and improve soil health.

“There will also be workshops and field days on topics such as pasture management, rotational grazing, pasture species diversity, exclusion fencing, off creek stock watering points and how to improve soil through increasing microbial activity and organic matter.”

Smart Farms Small Grants is part of the second phase of the National Landcare program, a $1.1 billion Australian Government commitment to natural resource management.

Rotary appoints president, welcomes new members

By Abbey Cannan The Noosa Rotary Club has conducted its 52nd changeover with the appointment of president Gerald Victor.

The club has been active during the Covid-19 lockdown, resorting to Zoom meetings as a way of keeping their members connected in a positive way.

President Gerald said at this very difficult time, the Rotary club of Noosa has moved forward with the start of the new Rotary year, with the hand over to the officers and a new president.

New members Amanda Honsal and Lachine Freckelton were inducted.

“I have been given the privilege of being the 52nd president of the club,” he said.

“When most organisations have and are finding times hard, we have inducted two new members so far this year with another two waiting to join our local family.

“Rotarians enjoy the fellowship in our great community.

“We welcome all those in our community to join us and have a great time in being part of our club, supporting those who need our help.”

Gerald said that in times of disasters and the need to support the less fortunate people in the community, Rotary was always there to help.

“This is the ethos of Rotary.”

Rotary was founded by Paul Harris 115 years ago and is active with clubs in most countries throughout the world with over 12 million members.

“Each Rotarian in their own way helps make that connection last and ensures that the Rotary legacy and its future continues.”

No go on TAFE sale Noosa Council will stop negotiations to buy the former Tewantin TAFE site on 24 Cooroy Noosa Road from the State Government, according to a motion moved by Mayor Clare Stewart at Council’s Ordinary Meeting last night.

Council sites the restrictions on the use of the property due to Native Title and environmental protections and the uncertainties caused by Covid as reasons for the decision not to proceed with the purchase.

In her Mayoral Minute Cr Stewart proposed Council instead adopt an advocacy role for potential suitable lessees or purchases likely from education or training sectors.

The Tewantin TAFE campus was constructed in 2004 by the Queensland Government, opened in 2006 with 716 students and shut in 2014 with 256 students, many studying offcampus.

Since 2014 it has mostly sat idle and been subject to vandalism and building deterioration.

Due to the work of Noosa MP Sandy Bolton Council was provided with “first option” to purchase the site.

A flora and fauna assessment of the site commissioned by Council identified suitable habitat for threatened species, including koala, glossy black cockatoo, vulnerable wallum frogs and endangered swamp crayfish.

Under the New Noosa Plan and State Koala Conservation Plan the site is identified as an area of biodiversity significance and a koala priority area, limiting future development to the existing cleared footprint of the former TAFE campus.

In 2018 Council formally offered to purchase the site from the state for $1.7m with funds to be sourced from the Environment Levy and general cash reserves. The state disclosed that Native Title still applied to the site requiring the state to enter into an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the traditional owners, the Kabi Kabi people prior to

Noosa TAFE.

the purchase proceeding.

Cr Stewart said Council now finds itself in a continuing impasse with unknown completion timeframes and increased contractual complexity in addition to the new COVID environment.

Council’s investigations have found previously identified options for the site including

aged care, Tewantin cemetery expansion, as a Council Depot or for Council administration would be unlikely to be feasible due to development constraints and environmental protections.

But there may be potential for commercial business use or opportunity for education providers.

Tough fines Queensland will introduce tough new requirements for interstate travellers who develop Covid-19 symptoms while in Queensland, forcing them to be tested or face a $4004 fine.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Steven Miles said anyone entering Queensland would have to make a binding declaration to get tested when they apply online for their border pass.

“The Border Declaration will require anyone who comes in to Queensland to sign off on their requirement to be tested if they experience any Covid-19 symptoms,” he said.

Mr Miles said the requirement would also apply to Queenslanders returning to Queensland.

“Since this pandemic began, we have continuously urged Queenslanders to get tested at the slightest hint of a symptom and they have responded.

“So it makes sense for people coming from interstate or who have travelled interstate to show the same commitment to keeping Queensland safe from Covid-19.”

Mr Miles said Queensland Health would text travellers to remind them of their obligation and ask if they have developed symptoms.

“And to assist travellers to meet their obligations mobile testing clinics will be deployed to the most popular tourist destinations. We will assess the border pass applications and make sure that areas with high visitor numbers get extra support - places like the Gold Coast and Cairns. We will also be texting all border pass holders to remind them.”

The extra measures will be rolled out with a new border direction by the Chief Health Officer that will prohibit people coming to Queensland from Victoria.

Chef Matt’s positive spin

By Abbey Cannan Australian celebrity chef Matt Golinski was devastated when the Covid-19 restrictions forced them to temporarily close Noosa’s View Restaurant, but he was also able to find the positives in that break.

Mr Golinski said the best thing to come from the lockdown was he could spend quality time with his three-year-old daughter.

“I’ve also had plenty of time to master the fine art of sourdough making and brewing beer, and I’ve been able to do a lot of piano

practice and running the Noosa trail network to keep my brain and body active,” he said.

“It was devastating to have to close down so suddenly, especially while we were really starting to build some momentum as a great kitchen team and producing some excellent food.”

He said receiving a chef’s hat from Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) in January really put a spring in everyone’s step, and then Covid-19 sucked some of that joy out of it.

“It’ll take some time to build that team back to where it was, but every restaurant is in the same boat,” Mr Golinski said.

BLINDS | SHUTTERS | AWNINGS | CURTAINS

“Most of our staff were able to go onto Job Keeper, and now we’re able to slowly trickle them back in to working in the resort.”

With the restrictions easing, the restaurant has reopened and Mr Golinski said he missed seeing everyone’s faces.

“Opening back up is great from the point of view that we can feed our guests who are staying in house and there’s a nice buzz around the resort again,” he said.

“We can also get back to supporting all our fantastic local producers who have struggled through all of this too.

“It’ll be nice to have the family back together and get back to creating some nice food again.”

Mr Golinski said the industry was relying on the community to show support.

“If all goes well and we don’t suddenly get hit with new restrictions things should continue to get busier all the time,” he said.

“It’s nice to see Queenslanders getting stuck into holidaying in their own state as well.

“The industry is really relying on that. Why would you want to be anywhere else really.”

What’s In A Name Phil Jarratt Have you ever driven past a street sign and wondered what was behind its name? PHIL JARRATT is obsessed with it. He begins a series looking at the significance of street and road names in the region by investigating the origins of Gympie Terrace and Goodchap Street.

A story behind your street Okay, some names on street signs are obvious, like Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach, or Production Street, Noosaville, but ever wondered about Goodchap Street, or Lionel Donovan Drive?

I mean who was Lionel, and if he was important why name such as forgettable street after him? (Don’t worry, we’ll get to him.)

Of course, mysteries abound not only with our street names but also our place names.

The jury is still out, for example, on whether Noosa is really derived from the Kabi Kabi “gnuthera”, meaning place of shadows, while there is more certainty that Tewantin is a corruption of “dau’wadhan”, meaning place of dead logs, which refers to the timber that was floated downriver from Elanda Point for shipping, not any particularly indolent residents.

Then there’s the interesting fact that almost every street name in what is now Sunshine Beach, but was once Noosa Beach Estate, is named after a Noosa Shire councillor of the 1927-30 council, the one that cut the deal with developer T.M. Burke to trade him the entire hill in return for 11 kilometres of road and two bridges.

Over the coming weeks we’re going to look at a whole range of streets with intriguing history, but today let’s start with an obvious one Gympie Terrace. Well it leads to Gympie, right?

Wrong. In fact, in the early 20th century it was the name not only of the sandy riverfront track that began at the Lake Doonella ford and finished at Munna Point, but of the entire area we now call Noosaville.

Nearing the end of the 19th century, goldrich Gympie was still the biggest pool of visitors and investors for the Noosa area - as evidenced by the number of fishing shacks being built by well-heeled miners and merchants along the riverfront strip becoming known as “Gympie Terrace” - as journalist Aleck J. Ivimey noted after a visit in 1889: “There are gorgeous Gympie capitalists also, who come down en famille... for a week or two, while the visitors rest tranquil at a Noosa villa of their very own, the annual increase in value of which is more than sufficient to compensate for the cost of the trip, and the stay there...”

By the 1920s the area boasted grand estates as well as fishing shacks, a general store and café and a campground, but the first Gympie Terrace landholder, back in the 1870s, was Frederick Goodchap, a Gympie goldminer who had parlayed his gold stake into timber

and had been one of the founders of McGhie, Luya & Co, whose mill at Elanda Point floated thousands of logs downriver to the company wharf at Colloy, on the North Shore opposite Munna Point. Goodchap’s estate included the riverfront from the mouth of Lake Doonella.

Fred Goodchap was the Tewantin JP and an important man around town, but he wasn’t there the day in 1880 when his estate became world famous for the capture of the notori-

ous Aboriginal bushranger Johnny Campbell.

Blacktracker Johnny Griffin had been following the violent Campbell north from the Maroochy River when he received word from the Tewantin Kabis that Campbell was camped in thick bush on the Goodchap property and would be heading down to the river to fish the following morning.

According to a dramatic newspaper report published around the world: “On nearing the river, and when they were all clear of the

LLEW O’BRIEN

thick forest, Griffin suddenly dropped behind Campbell, and throwing his arms around him pinioned him and threw him down. The rest of the blacks then rushed up, and a struggle ensued, which must have been very severe ...

Campbell bit, kicked, and struggled, but to no purpose; he was overpowered at last by the force of numbers.

“Word was at once sent to Mr. Goodchap’s, but he was absent. Mrs. Goodchap, however, with praiseworthy energy, urged the blacks to secure him. The blacks then wanted to know if they should kill him, but Mrs. Goodchap said no, so they sat on him until help arrived.

All the black and white population of Tewantin turned out promptly and ran a mad race to the scene of action, some on foot, some on horseback, some in boats. Everyone was in a state of the greatest excitement, and soon a welcome hurrah was heard, announcing that the desperado was secured, and on his way to the lock-up.”

Campbell was subsequently publicly hanged in Brisbane and his pickled brain sent to Berlin for “scientific analysis”. For their bravery, the Tewantin Kabis were given a new boat, some fishing nets and coach tickets to Brisbane to watch the hanging.

Goodchap Street, Noosaville is now where you’ll find the Noosa Hospital and a range of medical services.

Noosa’s Rothschild Safaris has been named world’s best safari company for the fourth time in eight years.

NEWS

Rothschild Safaris founder Leora Rothschild.

World’s best in safaris Noosa’s Rothschild Safaris has been named world’s best safari company for the fourth time in eight years.

New York-based Travel + Leisure magazine - considered an authority in worldwide luxury travel, with a readership of 4.8 million - has honoured Rothschild Safaris in its 2020 World’s Best Awards list as No.1 Safari Outfitter.

This is the fourth time since 2013 that Rothschild Safaris has been named No.1 (2013, 2014, 2017 and 2020) in this hotly contested category of the awards. In fact, the company has had the lion’s share of accolades in the category, consistently making the Top 5 Safari Outfitters over the past eight years.

Rothschild Safaris founder Leora Rothschild believes unparalleled local knowledge, attention to detail and personal service have been at the forefront of her company’s leap forward to the premier position from its No.5 spot in the 2019 awards.

“We are over the moon to have had the ongoing support and trust of our clients which has resulted in being voted No.1 twice since 2017,” Leora said.

“We strive to make each holiday custommade for our travellers and we believe this personal touch makes us stand out from others

in the industry. Our team of Travel Designers have all either hailed from or spent extensive time in the regions we send our travellers, so people really know they have an insider’s perspective.”

The well-respected travel company, which began 22 years ago from Leora’s lounge room, was the result of her strong connection with the Africa of her childhood, her passion for the landscape, wildlife, people and culture, plus

her deep desire to share that with others.

Since 1998, Rothschild Safaris’ hand-picked Travel Designers in three countries - the United States, South Africa and Australia - have sent thousands of clients on trips that have been personalised to their individual needs and destination desires.

Rothschild Safaris operates in several wildlife-based destinations in Asia, Australia and South America but Africa remains the firm favourite with clients the world over.

“Making life-changing decisions for our clients every day on where they should go, then hearing their heart-warming stories on their return is what keeps us going strong 22 years later,” Leora said.

“Africa, sooner or later, steals everyone’s heart.”

Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards is an annual reader survey rating major aspects of the travel industry from airports, cities and cruise ships, to hotels and islands. The survey asks readers to rate operators based on their staff and guides, itineraries and destinations, activities, accommodation choices, food and beverage, and value for money. The awards have been announced each year since 1995.

Zonta push to help homeless women

By Margaret Maccoll The increasing issues of homelessness in older women and domestic violence will be the focus of Zonta Noosa for the next two years, the club decided at a recent strategic planning session led by new president Margaret Fisher.

“People are surprised to learn the extent of homelessness around Noosa and there has been a noted increase in women over 50 seeking assistance at the local refuges,” Ms Fisher said.

“It’s not just people sleeping in cars but people who have lost houses and are couch surfing or staying in a spare room of a friend.

“Sadly through the Covid period there has been an increase in domestic violence with more local women and their families needing support.”

She said the 2016 Census showed homeless women over 50 years were the fastest growing

group making up 30 per cent of homeless and children under the age of 12 years escaping domestic violence the second highest group at 27 per cent.

Ms Fisher said Zone Noosa aimed to support a south-east Queensland initiative called Howzing and the Lady Musgrave Trust as well as supporting Shine Houses for crisis accommodation, supplying care packages to people who are homeless and distributing leaflets containing contact numbers for local assistance organisations.

Zonta Noosa plan to host an online women’s forum on older women on the edge of homelessness on 1 August.

“The goals of Zonta are inspirational and I am looking forward to working with our Noosa members who are a dedicated group of women committed to Zonta’s ideals and wanting to make a difference in the community,” she said.

“I believe our strategic plan over the next two years will certainly allow us to achieve this.”

Ms Fisher retired to Noosa four years ago after a career as CEO within accounting organisations in NZ and Australia.

She completed university studies in her 30s whilst holding down a managerial role and being a solo mother with two teenage boys.

Retirement for her was short lived as she immersed herself into the Noosa community, holding a board position for Noosacare, becoming a member of Noosa Chorale, a member of Sunrise bridge club and now taking on the role of Zonta president.

Noosa police part of statewide Covid-cops operation

By Margaret Maccoll Covid-19 duties have taken Noosa police across the state as they unite with other police districts to control the spread of the virus.

Senior sergeant Ben Carroll said while meeting their policing commitments locally Noosa police were being deployed from

Cape York peninsula to Mt Isa to Brisbane.

Snr sgt Carroll said police had been working in Aboriginal communities on Cape York while they were in lockdown under federal government legislation.

They have been deployed to Mt Isa to ensure border control and were meeting arrivals at Sunshine Coast airport.

Snr sgt Carroll said working with Queensland Health and State Emergency Service police were ensuring entry requirements were being met for every arrival.

“We’ve also had officers to hotels for people going into isolation in Kawana and at South Bank in Brisbane, keeping check that people are not going in or exiting,” he said.

“There’s a large contingent doing border

control. There were 250,000 entry permits into Queensland last week that had to be checked at checkpoints. We’re doing local Covid work as well monitoring compliance of social distancing. We visited hotel premises and nightclubs last weekend to ensure compliance and they were pretty good.

“It’s a huge effort behind the scenes.”

First Sod To Be Turned

By Mayor Stewart Mayor for Noosa, Clare Stewart, along with NoosaCare’s President, Ann Harrap and CEO, Megan D’Elton, will turn the first sod for the new building in NoosaCare’s dementia community on Wednesday 22 July.

The sod turning ceremony will mark the beginning of construction on the project, which will include a 32 bed, two-storey residential building and a new welcome centre for people living with dementia and their families.

Located next to NoosaCare’s existing Memory Support Unit, with a view to becoming the largest single provider on the Sunshine Coast of accommodation and themed gardens specifically designed for people living with dementia. Dementia Australia – the national peak body for people of all ages living with dementia- was consulted on the project.

Ms D’Elton said NoosaCare’s own research and that of other experts around the world highlighted the importance of well-designed spaces and gardens in maintaining capabilities and providing meaningful engagement with the

natural environment for people living with dementia.

She said that despite the difficult economic circumstances, NoosaCare was committed to providing a quality service and meeting the high level of demand for dementia services in the Sunshine Coast community.

“The majority of our residents come from the Noosa, Tewantin and Cooroy areas and we have always been well supported by the community, so it is important to us to be responsive to local needs. While we are funding the new development through our own resources we are always looking to go over and above our excellent care and services. Donations and Council grants towards our project, particularly the gardens, would significantly enhance our ability to really do the extraordinary for those who call NoosaCare home.

PHIL JARRATT meets Noosa’s favourite cartoonist

‘Knuckles’ and the gang At one point in its history, Noosa was so overwhelmed by Melburnians that it was known as “Toorak By The Sea”, but the most colourful of these southern imports, while they may have worked in Melbourne, could trace their free spirits to the tiny beach town of Torquay. More particularly, to a weatherboard shack on the outskirts of town known as Boot Hill.

Among the members of the notorious Boot Hill Gang who made their way to Noosa were Henry Lees, Ray “Darky” Pettigrove, Bones Murray, Mumbles Walker, Ron Sgro, Brian “Cracker” Coutts, Billy Wardell, Frankie Everett, Peter “Dirts” Davies, Con Fitzsimmons, Frank Johnson and Graham “Knuckles” Wall.

Henry started a bus company, Bones was a plumber, Mumbles a chef for Barry’s On The Beach (Barry Ritter was also from Melbourne), Frank started the Noosa Jazz Festival (with Richard Stevens), Frankie started a gym on Hastings Street, Dirts designed beach house concrete sculptures, Cracker started a palm plantation, Sgroey made millions in real estate and development, and Knuckles became Noosa’s favourite cartoonist.

The herd is thinning now, but Knuckles Wall is still going strong at 84, although a crook back is keeping him off the golf course and the cartoons these days are mostly for his own amusement. But he’s still got a million yarns about the Boot Hill Gang. “I don’t think it’s all that surprising that half the gang ended up in Noosa,” he told Noosa Today. “All we cared about was booze, birds and the beach, and there’s plenty of that here.”

Knuckles joined the Torquay Surf Club in 1956, the year that American lifeguards introduced the Malibu surfboard to Australia while competing at a special Olympic surf carnival hosted by the club. Although he was living in bayside Brighton and freelancing as a graphic artist for Melbourne advertising agencies, Knuckles was soon spending every weekend, summer and winter, camped at Torquay and surfing Bells Beach with neither wetsuit nor leg rope. “If you lost your board, it was a long, cold swim,” he recalls.

After one too many rowdy nights at the camp ground, the nucleus of the Boot Hill Gang pooled their money and bought a block of land far enough away from town for their all-night parties to go unremarked. On it they built a weatherboard party house with a room big enough to fit a seven-piece jazz band at one end and a billiard table for girls to dance on at the other end. Says Knuckles: “Henry said if we don’t have a letterbox we won’t get any bills, so we didn’t. Boot Hill became the venue for some outrageous parties organised by the D’s Club, which stood for dozen. You couldn’t get in unless you brought a dozen ‘tallies’.

“The biggest party we ever had there was for Henry’s 21st. We had 10 barrels but we were still close to running out when the coppers came up and started tucking into the grog, so we made them put the siren on and speed down to the pub and get more beer. Owen Yateman’s jazz band was playing, featuring Frank Johnson, and China Gilbert (club captain) had got all this armour from some theatre company in Melbourne, so we were all dressed in that, and Henry sat on a throne with king’s robes on, drinking from his own personal keg.”

The surf club officially kept a safe distance from the Boot Hill shenanigans, but apart from creating mayhem, the gang actually did a lot of fund-raising for lifesaving equipment.

Meanwhile, Knuckles found time to build a cartooning career in Melbourne, marry Jenny and raise a family, before reuniting with his Boot Hill buddies when he finally moved to Noosa in 1988. A couple of years later he heard that another new arrival and his mates were starting Noosa’s first lifestyle magazine and offered his services as a cartoonist. That was when I first met Knuckles Wall and began a long friendship and a professional partnership based on creative silliness.

For the better part of a decade, Hang Ten O’Hooligan, the surfing layabout, graced the pages of Noosa Blue magazine. Hangie was pretty much like all of Knuckles’ cartoon heroes, going back to Captain Cleancut’s nemesis Filthy Harry McSwine in the 1960s - a debauched and slightly stupid drunk with a heart of gold, which, apart from the stupid bit, is pretty much an apt description of Knuckles 14 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 July, 2020

Later on, more or less the same bloke popped up on Sunshine Days, a radio serial that played during Knuckles’ jazz program on Noosa Community Radio, except now he was the mayor. Bob Abbot loved it. Mayor Abbot

also got a run in The Noosa Dictionary, a little book that Knuckles and I put out, with bearded Bob in his braces addressing the councillors who have matching beards, even the women.

Knuckles reckons Noosa’s too busy these days and he doesn’t come down from his hin-

terland hideaway very much, but he’s still here, and he’s still laughing at all of life’s silliness. In fact if you’re driving towards Eumundi at beer o’clock, wind down the window and listen. You might just hear a wicked guffaw somewhere around Duke Road.

Shane Stanley and David Littleproud at the forum.

Reconnecting to farms During the Covid crisis the ability to access good quality local food increased in importance but as restrictions ease will customers return to less expensive imports?

Not if Shane Stanley from Noosa and Kawana Farmers’ Markets can help it.

Mr Stanley wants people to continue to see the value in good quality local produce and wants a better deal for local farmers.

Last Friday he brought together local farmers with Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud and Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien at a forum at Noosa Boathouse.

“There’s an exclusivity about Noosa,” Mr O’Brien told the forum. “It’s uniqueness is what people come here for.

“We want to find out how to be more efficient and more sustainable to make strides at local level not export level.”

Mr Littleproud sang the praises of local farmers and Noosa Farmers’ Market which he described as the conduit between people and farmers.

“Despite the droughts, bushfires, floods and Covid-19 farmers have never faulted. They just get on with the job,” he said.

During Covid agriculture was seen as an essential service, he said.

Mr Littleproud said you only needed to see the panic in supermarkets when people thought there would be scarcity of products to see the importance of farmers. “People started to panic. We have to make sure of continuity of supply to give people confidence. If you don’t social discord follows.

“Covid has awoken Australians to the importance of agriculture.

“In the city people have lost that contact.

“This is a real opportunity to get back to our roots - to understand what made our nation, what drives our nation. In times of crisis we get back to basics. Basics is making sure you have the best food in the world.“ Shane Stanley said it was his passion to deliver good local food produced from Gympie to Moreton Bay to the local area.

“What we can do as a group is to get the best outcome for our farmers,“ he said. “It always comes back to our farmers. How do we create better margins for our farmers.

“A lack of locally produced, fresh food will reduce the capacity to form a robust and resil-

ient food supply system. Overdependence on long food supply chains is detrimental to long term food security in Australia and will lead to reduced nutritional and environmental outcomes” “We have an opportunity to grasp what people want. Outcome must be farmers are number one.“ One livestock producer said mapping the forest fuel would provide farmers peace of mind to detect the threat of bushfire and take action to reduce it. The technology is there, he said.

Mr Littleproud said the report on the Royal Commission into bushfires was due in the next two weeks which would provide some insight into future action.

Another farmer raised the question of the high cost of aviation fuel, saying it was reducing the ability of farmers to economically use small planes and queried the possibility of tax reductions on fuel.

Mr Littleproud said taxes were reinvested in airport upgrades to create safer environments at airports. He said service requirements to meet CASA standards on small planes were an issue among farmers.

Shane Stanley asked about unfair competition in the local market.

He said cheap imports created unfair markets for local farmers with small family farms.

“How do we equalize imports,“ he said and suggested introducing a GST on imported foods.

Mr Littleproud said in Australia we had a nation of 25 million people but produced enough produce for 75 million.

“If we impose tariffs, they do too,“ he said.

“It’s our place in the world but opportunity is still there.“ He talked about the use of labelling to give customers choice to buy Australian-made and locally-made produce but of the complications of introducing tariffs to advantage Australianmade products nationally when dealing in a free trade market.

Another local farmer raised the issue of loans to small scale farmers, saying during Covid had been the first time loans had been made available to them. Mr Littleproud said there were challenges in handing out taxpayers money.

“You can’t hand it out if you can’t get it back,“ he said.

Shack is one of a kind

By Margaret Maccoll Terry Page’s iconic beach shack on Gympie Terrace stands out for its classic 1950s style and one obvious reason - it’s the only one of its kind left in a street of contemporary houses and units.

It took the builder five years to find the two-bedroom 1956-built fisherman’s cottage that delivers him memories of an earlier simpler time.

“I like it. It reminds me of growing up here,” he said.

Terry went to school in Tewantin and has seen many changes to his town over the years, many, such as traffic and noise, for the worse, he said.

Over the years Terry has made a few alterations to the house to make it more comfortable. He’s polished the floors and modernised the kitchen but the exterior, even its colour scheme will remain the same.

“I’ll never change it,” he said. “It’s my era.”

The little house has occasionally attracted attention for its historic significance. It has appeared in magazines and was once named House of the Year.

The Noosa Shire has a collection of buildings of recognised historic value listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.These include Halse Lodge, the Majestic Theatre and police residence in Pomona, Cooroy’s railway station and Lower Mill site kilns, Kin Kin’s sawmill, Cooroora’s Masonic temple and Alfredson’s joinery in Cooran.

There are no classic beach shacks in this list but Terry Page’s house has been recorded on the website sunshinecoastplaces.com.au established by architect Roger Todd.

Since the postwar economic boom the beach shack has become synonymous with a romantic, carefree time when families were

Terry Page’s beach shack able to afford a block of land by the beach, erect a home and own a car to drive them to their holiday destination and leave their worries behind.

The cheaply constructed shacks favoured the easy cladding solution offered by fibrolite, manufactured in the 1950s. Mixed with vinyl, laminated plastic and fluorescent lighting it was quite appealing and because of its modular nature, almost anyone could build with it.

Post-war Australia was a time of huge optimism and new architectural designs including the Sydney Opera House, Mr Todd said.

Architects today continue to be inspired by the designs of the era including the early beach shacks.Beach houses lacked the pretension of city houses which may have been built to project someone’s wealth or standing in the community, Mr Todd said.

“When you got to the beach everyone was the same,” he said.

“You could be open to modern design ideas. It was fun, it was at the beach. It was a place for holidays. You might not have done that in your city home.”

In 2011 Mr Todd began a campaign to document and protect the fibreboard shacks

of Moffat Beach where he lives in one.

“There’s more than you think. A lot of them have been modified,” he said.

For Todd the beach shack was the essence of what living at the coast really meant but one that was disappearing before his eyes.

The fibre shack was also celebrated in a project in 2014 between the University of the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast Gallery with a collection called the Fibre Coast project which took its cue from Mr Todd’s campaign.

Earlier this year the beach shacks at Moffat Beach were designated a character area.

Driver testing back on track Learner drivers should get ready to book in for their test after a backlog of driving examinations booked before tests were suspended due to Covid-19 was cleared.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said L-platers eager to get their P-plates could book their test from next Monday.

“Practical driving tests were suspended in late March due to Covid-19 and social distancing restrictions, and resumed for priority customers on 15 June based on health advice,” Mr Bailey said.

“Learner drivers who were booked in before tests were suspended were prioritised when the restrictions lifted.

“Now, thanks to the efforts of our hardworking driving examiners and because Queenslanders have done such a good job stopping the spread of coronavirus, we can take bookings for all learner drivers.

“So far, we’ve completed 10,749 car and truck tests and have another 15,973 tests due to take place.”

Mr Bailey said mandatory screening questions, vehicle cleaning requirements and reinforcement of health and hygiene measures would remain in place as regular testing resumed.

“Before a test, applicants will need to ensure their vehicle interior is clean and tidy, free from any rubbish, dust or dirt,” Mr Bailey said.

“Applicants and the driver training industry have readily accepted these measures, and I encourage all learner drivers getting ready to take their practical driving test to continue these efforts.

“We are doing everything we can to meet the demand for tests while making sure the safety of staff and customers remains our top priority.”

The fee for learner licence renewals will continue to be waived until mid-September. This includes learner licences that have expired.

Bookings for practical driving tests will be open for all learner drivers from 10am, Monday 13 July.

Tourism’s eco-warrior

By Phil Jarratt If you went to LinkedIn, or Central Casting, or even a robotics company, and asked them to come up with the perfect person to develop and promote Tourism Noosa’s ambitious sustainability and environmental agenda, someone exactly like Juanita Terry Bloomfield would walk through the door.

Fortunately for Noosa, we don’t have to.

She’s already doing it, and she was born to the role. Since she answered an ad for a team leader to run Noosa’s tourist information centre (then a glorified bus shed) 14 years ago, this vibrant, energetic woman has served our local tourism authority in about seven or eight different management capacities, and helped introduce several game-changing programs, but since assuming the title of Head of Tourism Sustainability and Program Design, putting her front and centre in such diverse areas as Plastic Free Noosa, the Noosa Trail Network and Indigenous tourism, she has found her professional home.

Born in Innisfail, Far North Queensland, only child Juanita spent her toddler years in the idyllic setting of Oak Beach, just south of Port Douglas, where her dad, John, built a Besser block shack on the beachfront along from about half a dozen others, and where she learnt to amuse herself swimming and beachcombing on the beautiful crescent beach. At six, she was on the move again after John sold the shack to entertainer Peter Allen, enabling the family to travel around New Zealand for a year before re-establishing home base at Magnetic Island, where her adventurous parents had met, John a ten quid Pom, Suzanne a young backpacker making her way around the world.

On Magnetic, John took a job skippering a research vessel for the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Says Juanita: “We were there for the next seven years, so my primary school was all about bare feet and snorkeling, doing whatever we wanted. Just an amazing child18 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 July, 2020

My parents bought 48 acres. I was able to get a horse, ride a motor bike, drive myself to high school. I did some leadership camps, taught people to windsurf on the dams, all that sort of thing.”

The self-confessed tomboy finished high

Picture: SUPPLIED school in Atherton, thought about becoming a PE teacher, then fled for Sydney to live a little on the wild side with her “outrageous aunt” and became assistant manager at a major harbourside marina, furthering her passion for the sea and for boats. Having decided on a career in tourism and hospitality, next came a diploma of tourism management at the Cairns TAFE, followed by six years in hotel manage-

ment. Says Juanita: “Then I decided it was time to follow my parents’ example and go backpacking around the world.”

This was where a real education in coalface travel and tourism began.

En route to London with a friend, Juanita decided to stop off and visit a friend who had had not a farm but a kombi in Africa. A twoweek stay turned into the most amazing year of her young life, working for overland tour companies crossing war-torn Rwanda and seeing bloated bodies floating down the river as they crossed Lake Tanganyika, and later managing a backpacker hostel in Johannesburg during the euphoria of South Africa’s rugby World Cup victory at the start of the Mandela era, with blacks and whites celebrating together for the first time.

You can’t learn the emotional experience of travel like that in a classroom, and six months in hotel management in London seemed a little tame. Soon Juanita was off again, driving in a van with friends from North Carolina to South America, before finally flying home after three years of high adventure. More amazing trips were to follow, including sailing luxury yachts and working cruise ships around the exotic parts of the world, but she also expanded her experience by managing travel agencies in Australia for companies like STA and Flight Centre before getting that call from dad John to tell her he’d seen an ad in the Noosa local paper.

John and Suzanne Bloomfield had already made their new home in Noosa, and, as Juanita notes: “They’d never picked a bad location before.” She loved the place from the start, and her job marshalling the enthusiasm of more that 100 volunteers needed as the information centre stepped up from its original shed to its current Hastings Street position. From there she moved into membership building, almost doubling it to around 600, and then into industry development, helping introduce on-line booking systems for 150 members.

Next the board tasked her with leading the effort to get the Noosa tourism industry onto a customer service training program to combat the idea that Noosa was unwelcoming.

Juanita recalls: “We wanted to make our program friendly and fun to do, so Welcome To Noosa was born, a 90-minute on-line professional service program that covered customer essentials, but the bulk of it was about selling the unique aspects of Noosa, the environment, the lifestyle and the history of why Noosa is the way it is. We launched that with gusto, and I think it really brought the town together from a tourism point of view and helped us get through the GFC.” Out of that came Tourism Noosa’s first real foray into environmental issues, with Noosa Eco-Check, which kept the same breezy feel of the service program while rewarding levels of eco-compliance. When Version 2 was launched last year, 19 of Noosa’s best practice tourism operators were rewarded with video vignettes showing their eco initiatives.

Thus began a decade of growth of Tourism Noosa’s environmental and sustainability agenda, with Juanita orchestrating the interaction with environmental and community groups. These programs have been so successful, including Noosa piloting a national Plastic Free program, that our town is now seen as an exemplar nationwide. Even Tasmania, often

regarded as the home of eco-tourism, last year invited Juanita to speak to 11 councils about how to get tourism working better with environmental groups and councils.

Among the many sustainability initiatives within Juanita’s portfolio, in addition to Plastic Free Noosa, are Zero Emissions Noosa, Waste Warriors (composting) and Trees for Tourism (helping plant new trees in the former state plantation forests of Yurol and Ringtail), but what most excites her is the potential for Noosa Trail Network and Indigenous tourism, both of which have major growth programs in train, subject to funding.

But delivering Tourism Noosa’s sustainable vision hasn’t always been easy, particularly in the tough times of the pandemic. She says: “We worked out pretty quickly that the way to people’s hearts is through their pockets. There had to be a compelling financial reward to adopting green practices, and of course there is, and most of our operators now share our vision.”

Somehow in the midst of all this, Juanita found time last year to tie the knot with longtime partner Guy Terry, fittingly at one of the country’s most highly regarded environmentally friendly resorts - Lady Elliot Island. Now she and Guy have their own “mini-resort” in Noosa offering eco-friendly stays, and she can practice what she preaches.

The Hotseat Margaret Maccoll As MAYOR CLARE STEWART marks her first 100 days in office Noosa Today asks the first-time politician about her new career.

Top job: 100 days down With a busy life running a business, with three young children what was it that made you decide now was the time to run for the job of Mayor of Noosa?

I think there is never a right time. I have always had an interest in politics and after much discussion with my husband and family, and buoyed from their support, I decided to run.

The mindset was always: even if I don’t win then at least I have had a go. Either way, by the end of the campaign, win or lose and it really could have gone either way, I thought I had won, as I had put my hand up and had a go.

Now you’ve won the election what does your family think of your new role?

My husband is very proud, but I think increased duties in the parenting stakes is wearing thin (laughing). Seriously, my husband Campbell is incredibly supportive and delighted. I could not do this job without his help in so many ways. As are my parents who live eight minutes away. They are also unbelievably helpful and supportive. They tell me “they still cannot fully come to grips with the outcome; their only daughter being asked to be so engaged with the community”.

What do your children think of you being Mayor?

During the campaign I got a text from a friend who is a mum from school. She said: Clare, just so you know, William is promising all new playground equipment for his school if you win’. It was pretty funny and we had a good laugh, but really my kids are quite young. The older two understand to some degree and simply have this supportive but wondering smile.

They don’t say it but I know from things they write and things they say they are very proud.

My four-year old daughter is more concerned about the corona virus and not being able to go to Aussie World at the moment.

In what ways has it changed your day-to-day life?

I have become a full time worker. It is for me very much a full day’s engagement. I leave at 8am most mornings and I am not home until around 5.30pm-6pm most nights and that is without the functions. No doubt as restrictions ease, functions will increase (they are starting to already) so I have to be very mindful of a work life balance and prioritizing the time I spend with my husband and kids; focusing on them. Putting the phone away, not checking the emails and things like that are on the agenda once home: a challenge to be still fully addressed.

How would you sum up your election campaign experience?

Challenging and greatly supported. I had the best team around me. The team led by former MP Bruce Davidson and great friend Kate Watson were stellar. Experience and political nous really mattered. Bruce’s advice and support were instrumental, as was the rest of my team whose skills in media, communications, policy, strategy all seemed to come together quite magnificently. I could not have done it without them. I was a political novice who had to come from nowhere to oust an incumbent who had the advantage of being a councillor for four years and then mayor for four. On the back of major bushfires and a global pandemic, all aligning to incumbency, it was a big battle. I know at the end of the day, I couldn’t have worked any harder. Win or lose, I had not left anything on the table.

Is the job what you expected it to be?

Yes and no. For me, the hardest part of my job is meeting community expectations quickly. I had a platform for change and am determined 20 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 July, 2020

Mayor Clare Stewart at home with her family to meet it; and while much is achieved, there are still unresolved commitments on which I am working. Learning processes and how you go about things is all new to all of us who are new to the job. We have much to learn in that department. The breadth and level of work that local council oversees is substantial and the work has and continues to be incredibly fulfilling. To be able to make a difference for the betterment of someone’s life is a great and

powerful thing. That is the privilege and responsibility of the role: what I continue to focus on during my term.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect so didn’t focus too much on what the job would be like in detail. Yes, I had experience as a lawyer, governance responsibilities with a national charity and small business. However, if really pushed; I would say that the job is far more diverse than I expected, and at the same time

more supported than I would have ever imagined. The CEO and senior staff have provided a huge amount of advice and assistance to all new councillors. The budget is a great example of this. Our Director of Corporate Services Michael Shave and his team and the work they brought to us as a council on the budget was second to none. Their hard work, expertise and advice made our job a whole lot easier.

Mayor Clare Stewart Hartwig and Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson which have all been incredibly productive.

youth in our community who made over 1000 faceshields for our front line workers during the height of covid. In the past week on behalf of Noosa Shire Council, I presented at the Sunshine Coast Business Council and just last week, we brought down our first budget. I am incredibly proud of the budget. A team effort in every sense of the word and a grassroots budget for the whole community. All councillors worked incredibly hard to ensure most of the community received no rate rise. We were adamant that we would achieve that.

I am very proud that we have increased our fire mitigation. We have nearly doubled our cool fire burns (weather dependent) and have added many additional kilometres of fire trails/fire breaks. Increased fire mitigation was a major platform issue for me during my campaign; so incredibly important to the many people I spoke with.

I have also enjoyed meeting people. I meet a host of different people, with different jobs, from different walks of life everyday. I ran a very grass roots campaign- walking the streets and talking to people. I will continue to do that in my role as Mayor. I know that previous Mayor Bob Abbot was brilliant at it and I would like to follow suit in that regard. My dad tells me: ‘it helps being a mild extrovert’.

What parts have been the least enjoyable?

Not being able to deliver on things straight away. Meeting community expectations which are sometimes immediate and not being able to say: ‘I’ve got that covered’. As councilors we are, under law and legislation required to meet strict guidelines when it comes to taking a role at an operational level. We are not ‘operators’ we are a board of directors and have a governance role. It’s hard not to want to get in at an operational level, but in saying that, staff are always incredibly responsive when requests

are made or further information or investigation is sought.

In your election campaign you said Noosa needed a better voice for the community.

Now you’re in the job is this still your aim? If so how do you think will you be able to deliver on this?

Absolutely; that was a catch cry of mine. I think all councilors are well aware that we need to engage with community at a substantial level. We have a number of measures which we are putting in place to achieve this. During my campaign I stated that an engagement officer for the hinterland would be implemented. When I took the idea to councilors they were all keen to be personally involved. However, due to the unforeseen nature of COVID there was no ability to employ or make a new position because of financial constraints. What we have come up with as a united council will be released in the next week or so and I think it will be great way to engage further with the community. It is I believe a strategy that achieves the electoral commitment in a more sustainable and comprehensive way. It is one to watch out for.

Of course we would have liked to have consultation with the community in regard to the budget but the pandemic put pay to that. That is why we are adamant that before budget review two the community will be asked for feedback and to have a say.

In regard to being a voice for the community, I think listening to residents and getting out and about is still paramount. Clearly health restrictions have greatly restricted this but again when relaxations continue to ease I will ensure that a few hours a week are dedicated to me being out in the streets and talking to business operators, residents and anyone else who would like to chat. Coffee in the Shire and not the office is the objective.

What has your work entailed in your first 100 days in office?

Hit the ground running’ is perhaps a good way to describe it.

Since commencement, we have had briefings from all departments, met with many of the staff and have had numerous meetings, and information sessions from the various directors of each department. I’ve chaired a number of Local Disaster Management Group meetings, Ordinary Council meetings and Special Council Meetings and have been involved in all meetings for our Planning and Environment and Services and Organisation Committees.

The instigation of the business round table, which is an initiative of Council to help and support our local businesses, associations, chambers and of course Tourism Noosa has been incredibly productive. I have also had the opportunity to meet with all three of our business associations and the Noosa Chamber of Commerce as well as the CEO and Chair of Tourism Noosa.

I have had the opportunity to meet with our State Member Sandy Bolton on a number of occasions as well as our Federal Member Llew O’Brien and host Minister Stirling Hinchcliffe as well as Small Business Commissioner Maree Adshead here in Noosa. Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie and myself were also privileged to talk to the Queensland Governor over a skpe call and tell him about the resilience of our community through Covid-19.

Collaboration is a big focus of mine so it was important for me to reach out to the mayors in Gympie Sunshine Coast and Moreton bay councils. We all have our unique differences, but I feel if we can work together on projects, it can only benefit the wider region and I have had personal meetings with Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery, Gympie Mayor Glen

The Guide STREAMING

World of fine food to try Somebody Feed Phil, Netflix Writer/producer and occasional actor Phil Rosenthal (the man behind the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond) takes a journey to five more foodie locations as he returns with his tasting tours of the world.

This is the third series of Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix (though it started on PBS in the US as I’ll Have What Phil’s Having, back in 2015).

With it’s sitcom-style theme song and Phil’s over-the-top personality it is easy to dismiss this show as a bit of a cringeworthy exercise

with an over-privileged white American “discovering” that other countries have interesting food culture too.

And on the surface, that’s what it is - but as you get used to Rosenthal’s personality you realise this documentary is a little more than that.

Rosenthal actually has a very warm personality and an enthusiastic love of both food and culture that he is keen to pass on and while he visits some of the top restaurants it’s when he visits a family home in the hills above Marrakesh or hangs out in a bar with a KPop star in Seoul that this show comes into its own (“If you

want to feel old and insignificant walk with a K Pop Star down the streets of Seoul” he quips).

This is probably aimed mainly at getting his fellow Americans, who rightly or wrongly have a reputation for going oversees and eating at places like McDonalds and KFC, to go to other countries and actually enjoy the local food.

However it’s also a beautifully shot travelogue and Rosenthal is warm and funny and interested in the locations, the food and the whole experience and in the end that’s infectious and it’s hard not to get caught up in all that too.

Wells would be proud War of the Worlds Starring Gabriel Byrne and Lea Drucker Rated MA15+

Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) the South Korean heiress and Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin) the member of the North Korean elite.

Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin.

A show worth falling for Crash Landing on You Netflix South Korean television and films are the flavour of the month at the moment - it helps that Parasite won the Oscar for best picture this year but the interest was already peaking.

Crash Landing On You has been one of Netflix’ top rating programs of 2020 and with good reason - this 16-part show is a lot of fun and has to have one of the best meet-cutes’ in television history.

Rich girl from South Korea accidentally gets swept into the demilitarized zone (DMZ) while paragliding and ends up falling from a tree into the waiting arms of a North Korean soldier boy.

Our two star-crossed lovers Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) the South Korean heiress and Ri Jeonghyeok (Hyun Bin) the member of the North Korean elite then spend the rest of the series trying to get her home, dealing with some pretty sinister people and falling in love.

This is a lot of fun, funny, poignant and extremely well shot and although the dialogue (provided mainly by subtitles) tends towards the clunky on occasion, it somehow avoids a lot of the Romeo and Juliet tropes usually associated with this type of premise.

There is plenty of sad eyes and handwringing as well as a lot of cutesy moments but it never tips completely over into melodrama as all four leads (his fiance and her sort of ex) are fully developed and rounded out over the course of the series.

It also manages to provide an interesting, well-thought out ending that doesn’t compromise the overall feeling of the show nor is it a saccharine Hollywood ending either.

Each episode feels so packed with drama that they almost feel like little individual movies and the music and settings just add to the experience (Mongolia apparently doubled for North Korea).

That scene. What must be in the running for best “meet-cute” ever.

War of the Worlds is an eight-part miniseries that reimagines H.G. Wells’ classic sci-fi novel in modern-day Europe, and follows several families struggling to regroup after an alien attack.

The mini-series is slow to get going, but tense and compelling once it gets into gear. The first episode has several dry moments and jarring cuts, and this adaptation suffers from too many characters, which stretches the viewer’s attention.

However, the rest of the episode has an effective escalation of suspense, as trepidation over an alien signal grows into fear of an imminent attack, then erupts into urban chaos as people scramble for cover. The episode concludes with an arresting shot of a silent, devastated world.

Despite its present-day setting, War of the Worlds closely follows the major plotpoints of the novel, including the alien crafts being mistaken for meteors, their massacre of mankind, the exodus from London and the protagonist journeying alone to reunite with his wife.

The second episode is bleaker, more focused and better-paced, concentrating on discreet groups for longer. Intrigue, hard choices and desperation develop within each family, and the narrative masterfully builds dread toward the alien forces by presenting them as a little-seen but deadly force. War of the Worlds is an engaging slow-burn that accurately conveys the spirit of Wells’ novel, and screens on Thursday evenings on SBS. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Gentle humour is catching on Rosehaven, Wednesday, ABCTV, 9pm

The cast of Rosehaven.

22 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 July, 2020

Our favourite Real Estate Agents are back in a fourth series of the little show that could.

Who knew that a show about two best friends running a real estate agency in a small Tasmanian town would be such a big and wellwatched part of the ABC Wednesday comedy line-up but this gentle and funny series just keeps on keeping on.

A lot of that has to be down to the three main cast members Celia Pacquola as Emma,

Luke McGregor as Daniel and the brilliant Kris McQuade as the acerbic and no-nonsense Barbara - principal of the estate agency and Daniel’s mum.

This time around there are big changes with Daniel nursing a broken heart (that he won’t acknowledge) after his break-up and he and Emma are house-sharing, while the Real Estate agency has changed offices.

The first episode, screening last week and still available on iView, saw Daniel trying to find his ex a new place to live and then realising the break up wasn’t as easy as he thought

while Emma is fascinated by a package belonging to a former tenant of their new premises (the end is worth sitting through what is one of the slower episodes).

This week as the pair realise they are spending too much time together between work and home they decide to audition for a third friend and of course everything goes wrong.

This is not over-the-top or in your face comedy - just gentle and fun with good writing and a cast that inhabits real characters but even in it’s fourth series it still keeps you watching.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU ism hub of Noosa Shire, where the ex-PM and his wife Therese Rein have just outlayed a cool $17 million for a beachfront property only a few metres above sea level at Sunshine Beach.

Noosa also has the dubious honour of being Queensland’s only self declared “climate emergency“ area, a claim which obviously proved no deterrent when weighed against direct beach access and spectacular views over the blue Pacific.

Mr Rudd apparently shares this desire for waterside living with ex-US President Barack Obama and ex-Vice President Al Gore, both of whom have invested sizeable fortunes in mansions also metres from the sea.

Mr Gore’s prediction of a six metre rise in sea levels in his controversial movie An Inconvenient Truth back in 2006 obviously hasn’t been a deterrent to those who love the sound of crashing waves or lapping river tides there or here in Noosa, where multi-million dollar sales continue to rise even during the Covid-19 restrictions.

Climate emergency or a severe case of climate hyperbole?

John Mikkelsen, Noosa.

Thanks to Noosa Hospital My wife and I would like to give a big thankyou again to Noosa Hospital Doctors, Nurses, Pathology, Radiology, Cleaners, Wardies, Kitchen Staff and of course Administration in Emergency, ICU and Ward D. From the 1st to the 8th of July and sending us home to a relieved and welcoming family.

(Wills now safely put away) To name those who personally looked after us both would be asking too much of Noosa Today as its restricted to 44 pages and there would be others in Noosa Shire wishing to use the goodwill of the Editor to express their views.

But those at Noosa Hospital know who you are anyway.

Ernest and Olive Wright, Sunrise Beach.

LENSCAPE

Respect and gratitude I just want to say thanks to my friend, Phil Jarratt for having the lovely, Rose Astley, come and interview me for Noosa Today (10 July).

Thanks for taking interest in my musical journey and providing cool opportunities for musicians like me in the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

I’m so grateful for that and it is a huge highlight of my life. I feel so fortunate to live here in this community of amazing artists who take a keen interest in nurturing the young emerging musicians.

My life is so much better because of our community collective. With respect and gratitude.

Tosh Kachad, Noosa.

Rubbish first, climate change next

Council movements under watch It is going to be very interesting watching the new Noosa council over the next four years, as already it seems there is a clear division between the old established guard: Wilkie, Jurisevic and Stockwell and the new female councillors, Lorensten, Finzell and Mayor, Clare Stewart. This leaves the other new councillor, Tom Wegener holding the balance of power.

The old guard realised very quickly how vital, Wegener’s vote is, and strategically had him appointed as council representative to the Noosa biosphere reserve foundation board.

A very smart move that is already paying off, with Wegener recently claiming that Brian Stockwell is the ‘master of the environment’ and is following his recommendations.

Let’s hope that Wegener becomes his own man again soon and remembers he was voted in as an independent candidate.

I hope this new council will change its previous priorities and stop wasting money on poorly researched and unnecessary projects such as ‘bring back the fish’, and the five million dollar Cooroy park.

I hope they concentrate mainly on helping the many businesses in the tourism and hospitality industries who are struggling due to Covid-19 restrictions.

And hopefully allocating much needed funds towards restoration and repairs of failing infrastructure and a huge back lock of capitol works, especially in the hinterland.

Time to get back to basics Noosa council, Dom Massoni, Black Mountain.

Lance Hunt captured this catch of the day for resident Eastern Osprey that nests every year at the Mangroves Boardwalk in Noosaville.

No income, no levy I noticed with interest that there will be a reduction in the Environment, Sustainable transport and Heritage levies however it seems logical that the Economic and Tourism levy should be waived for businesses that have had no income over a four month or longer period due to Covid-19. I will be interested to see my next rate notice.

J. Davies, Noosa.

No vibration impact In case some of your readers think that the reduction in traffic due to Covid 19 has some effect on the Earth’s crust (NT 10/07), it would be more realistic to say that the seismographs that are used to detect earthquakes are so sensitive that they can detect a truck going down a nearby street or even an apple falling nearby, so naturally when there is less traffic and human activity, there will be less of this background vibration. When human activity returns as our economy restarts, these vibrations will resume but they are rather insignificant and will have no effect on the movement of the tectonic plates and thus will have no effect on future earthquakes.

Increased human activity will, however,

result in us producing more carbon dioxide and this is a bona fide danger. With reference to recent law suits overseas, it seems that if a bushfire destroys your home and the evidence is that the fire was intense enough to do this because of global warming, you might justly be able to sue the government for about 1.5% of the damage because that is the amount of CO2 that Australia contributes to the world’s production each year. Just what will it take to get this government to respect the science on climate disruption?

Steve Hall, Cooroy.

What climate emergency, Kevin?

When Kevin Rudd was playing musical chairs with Julia Gillard for the nation’s top job, he claimed that climate change was the greatest moral challenge facing our generation.

His government issued a report in 2009 warning that thousands of kilometres of Australia’s coastline were under threat from rising sea levels. It even suggested banning people from living in vulnerable areas, with Queensland most at risk.

Fast forward to 2020 and the beautiful tour-

We watched a disturbing documentary recently about the plastic pollution epidemic engulfing the world. There are now micro plastic particles within every living organism, from plankton to humans and spread from the Arctic to Antarctic Oceans.

The day after watching this, not that we were unaware of it, we started to take a plastic bag and pick up rubbish on our daily walks around Tewantin and Noosaville. We walk about 6 to 12km daily.

Now, we do live in a relatively clean environment, but every day we pick up at least 2 bags full of rubbish.

Disposing of it is easy, as Noosa Council provides extensive rubbish bins, for landfill waste and recyclables. Sadly, we live amongst lazy, thoughtless ... well, pigs is the word that springs to mind.

The greatest offenders, in types of rubbish, are takeaway food and drink containers, straws, confectionary and other food packets, bottles and cans (even with cashback available for recycling them!), and fishing trash near the Noosa Marina boat launch spot (ropes, bits of fishing line and floats, old netting, etc.). The other offender is dog poo bags - why carry them and pick it up if you are then going to dump the bags on the ground.

The other annoying culprit is the hundreds (yes, hundreds) of copies of this newspaper and the now extinct Noosa News, which, unfathomably, are left to rot for weeks on driveways. Far too many households cannot be bothered to pick them up and bin them, preferring to allow them to end up in the rivers and waterways. The Noosa News made this worse by having elastic bands around them, which can harm marine and bird life. Maybe a campaign to deliver stickers to those households could be carried out, stating “No local news delivery, please, we are too lazy and lacking in brain cells to read it or dispose of it, sorry!”

Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesaving Club won the state award for commercial architecture.

Noosa’s best architecture

By Abbey Cannan The Noosa region has picked up three state awards for it’s brilliant commercial and residential architecture at the Australian Institute of Architects’ Queensland Architecture Awards.

The jury, made up of renowned architects and academics from across the state, awarded more than 20 projects across 14 categories including residential, commercial, sustainable architecture and urban design.

Jury Chair, and Director of COX Architecture, Richard Coulson described the winning designs as contributing to the progression of architecture in the State.

“Each of the awarded projects reflect a response to the environment in their own way,“ Mr Coulson said.

“The projects include opportunities that allow many members of the Queensland public to benefit from good architectural design.

“They include innovation in technology and materials balanced with a pragmatic response to climate - a hallmark of Queensland Architecture.”

The Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesaving Club was recognised with the commercial architecture award going to Push and Andrew Bock Architecture.

The state jury said the new building has created a sophisticated yet casual offering and a revitalised experience for a broader public, all while embodying the community spirit of club and connection to the coastline.

Push director Paul Curran said he felt great about winning the award.

“It’s a team effort and I’m really happy that we were able to get a state award for a regional area and a small club,” he said.

Mr Curran said the location of the club felt iconic.

“It’s an important landmark for both the community and for tourism in the Noosa area, so we were able to produce a really good facility,” he said.

“I worked in collaboration with an architect from Noosa, Andrew Bock, and he’s had a lot of good feedback from locals about the improvement of the club and how successful it has been.”

Mill Hill Retreat by Phorm Architecture + Design took out the state award for residential architecture, with the jury calling the project a “thoughtfully curated family home carefully positioned on a remarkable site”.

Phorm Architecture + Design director Paul Hotston said it was an honour to win the award.

“Each year, the field of new houses that get produced by architects through the whole state is phenomenal,“ he said.

“So, even just to make the short list is an honour, but to go forward to nationals, means that we take a bit of Queensland forward in the nationals, and we’re really proud to carry that banner.

“It’s a really great reflection on the project, the effort of the client, and the effort of all team members that have been a part of it.

“All the many hands that come together at a job site and build these houses, it’s a pat on the back for everybody, not just the architects.”

Mr Hotston said the Sunshine Coast offered the most amazing landscapes.

“This was really an opportunity to work into a place which was almost untouched,“ he said.

“We were really careful to try and find a way that the house to meet the landscape.

“It’s also designed so that as you move through the house you’re engaged with the landscape in particular way.

“There’s a sort of idea, like choreography almost, it’s like a dance between the house and the landscape.

“As you move through the house it’s almost like experiencing what it would be like if the house wasn’t around you.”

Mr Hotston said they were only able to do these types of project with a client’s trust.

“With winning the state award, it gives everyone in the process the confidence and sort of acknowledges the risk taking that goes into doing something a little bit different,” he said.

The second state residential architecture award went to Domik by Noel Robinson Architects.

The jury said Domik was a truly unique home located on a spectacular site next to Noosa National Park.

“Tasked with a once in a lifetime brief and budget, Noel Robinson Architects has delivered a highly bespoke and sophisticated home,” they said.

“This house challenges the typical beach side house and pushes the envelope of unique architectural luxury.

“The interior planning directs all views to the ocean and a circular stair offers an oculus skylight to draw light deep into the floor plate.”

Funding to make Noosa Alive again

By Margaret Maccoll The Noosa Alive festival should be in full swing this month delivering about 300 artists to audiences of about 30,000 but Covid-19 forced its cancellation and this week festival president Andrew Squires was instead accepting a $60,000 Federal Government grant from Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien to organise next year’s event.

Mr Squires said the milestone grant for the festival gave them greater confidence to begin planning for 2021 but with the uncertainty of future events it would have to be designed to be Covid-safe.

He said the organising committee was working with Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa on the future of the event and keeping the festival alive in the community through social media.

And they had been approached by artists wanting to do some online performances.

“We’re still in discussions to see how the festival will look, to see what we can put forward,” he said.

Costing hundreds of thousands to produce the festival takes many months to put together.

Noosa Alive festival president Andrew Squires Mr Squires said the festival was continually evolving to suit the needs of a changing culture and new visitors to the region.

Last year the festival tested the market with younger people and found the appetite was there, he said.

With the influx of breweries in Noosa the festival hosted an event at Land and Sea Brew-

ery for the first time last year that proved extremely popular.

After introducing an Indigenous experience last year the festival hoped to engage more with the Indigenous community.

Mr Squires said there was ample opportunity to engage the community in events that merged the arts with Noosa’ natural habitat.

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien described the Noosa Alive Festival as an important arts event for locals and a significant attraction for domestic tourism.

Other groups to receive funding include Cooroy Badminton Club who were given $20,000 to upgrade their toilets and showers, Pomona District Meals on Wheels which received $4300 for fuel and travel costs and Noosa Shire Arts and Crafts Association which gained $4300 for a debrillator and office equipment.

“The projects will drive economic growth, creating jobs in construction, promoting new opportunities and events to boost domestic tourism, and help volunteers continue to help the community, benefiting the region as it begins the recovery from COVID-19 to become even better place to live, work and holiday,” Mr O’Brien said.

Blown away by great read

By Annie Grossman of Annie’s Books on Peregian Kate Grenville is one of Australia’s most respected authors, having written sixteen books including the bestselling colonial novel The Secret River, which has been adapted for the screen and the stage. A Room Made of Leaves is Grenville’s fourth novel set in the early years of colonization; “Sydney Town was a dusty ugly angry place, a sad blighted bit of ground on which too many souls tramped out their days dreaming of somewhere else”. The story centres around Elizabeth Macarthur, the wife of John Macarthur who is recognized as the pioneer of the Australian wool industry. Grenville has once again used her gift for weaving a story through the facts passed down through history, creating this fictional memoir of a woman from scraps of history, and fleshing her out to be a wonderful literary character. In this book (and why should we doubt it), we see Elizabeth Macarthur as an intelligent, curious and passionate woman, who may have been more instrumental in the rise of the wool industry than history gives her credit for. Grenville has once again described the brutal early days of this far flung settlement, and the search for a new life on the other side of the world, as well as connections between the white settlers and the First People, which she writes with great sensitivity and authenticity. This is a fine novel indeed.

Book to shed light on understanding boys’ behaviour Forget ‘snakes and snails and puppy dog tails’ - it’s time to delve deeper into what boys are really made of to better understand and respond to their behaviour, according to a USC expert in children’s brain development.

Dr Michael Nagel, USC Associate Professor in Child Development and Learning, uses recent advances in neuroscience as the framework in his latest book, Educating and Raising Boys, to examine how the hardwiring in boys’ brains influences the way they learn.

“With this book, I am challenging society’s apparent war on boyishness, and encouraging educators and parents to expand their understanding of the male brain to better support the boys in their lives,” Dr Nagel said.

“I provide further insights into why the ‘problematic’ behaviour of boys is often in the eye of the beholder while simultaneously providing a new lens for understanding what happens when X and Y chromosomes combine.

“This exploration is set under the pretext that penalising boys for just being boys fails to recognise how such innate tendencies may be the by-product of the brain and mind.”

Dr Nagel has written several books and articles related to neurological development in children and adolescents and has delivered more than 300 workshops and seminars for parents and teachers nationally and internationally.

Available from July, Educating and Raising Boys is an extension of his 2006 book BoysStir-Us: Working WITH the Hidden Nature of Boys. A companion book on girls will come out later this year as a follow-up to It’s a Girl Thing, first released in 2008.

Dr Nagel said recent advances in medical research and neuroscience had opened up a new world of understanding that explained different intricacies between boys and girls by looking at the unique structural and chemical differences within the brain of each sex.

“Revealing data suggests that the brains of boys maintain certain characteristics that may impact on their emotions, approaches to learning, personality and temperament, sense of identity and overall sense of wellbeing,” he said.

“For example, on face value the research suggests that the fidgety and impulsive tendencies of boys may be linked to the levels and processing of serotonin and other neurotransmitters.

“Regrettably, many boys are often chastised for an inability to sit still or calm down 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 July, 2020

USC expert in children’s brain development, Associate Professor Michael Nagel. when they are only engaging in an innately boyish way due to the chemical milieu of their brains.”

Dr Nagel said the brains of boys and girls also processed positive and negative emotions differently.

“In boys, the part of the brain where emo-

tions happen is not well connected to the part where verbal processing and speech happens - unlike in girls,” he said.

“All too often a boy’s behaviour is misread as arrogant, stubborn or introverted, when in fact his ability to describe his feelings or actions is not immediately accessible.

“Not being armed with this sort of information leaves educators and parents without the requisite insight to counteract a boy’s emotional difficulties and opens the potential for mislabelling his lack of engagement in learning or his reaction as a behavioural issue.”

Not all froth and bubbles at latest place to talk beer

By Margaret Maccoll Anthropologists have discovered evidence of beer brewing in ancient Egypt around 3000BC and in civilisations throughout the centuries it has been drunk, regarded as a symbol of religious and cultural significance or shunned.

It was professionally brewed first by the Romans with records of brewer’s guilds dating back to 1200s in London.

So when the Noosa Brewing Club was established this month by Noosa Brew Store owner Scott Hooper and club president Adam Forbes they were really continuing a long held tradition.

“I started the brew store in February. It’s always been part of my goal to establish a brew club,“ Scott said.

The plan went on the back burner because of Covid-19 but this month a meeting was organised and held at The Boiling Pot brewery mezzanine area with the support of owner John Madill.

Scott said the club creates a place for brewers to congregate and talk brewing.

“We’re going to go to other breweries and

Scott Hooper and Adam Forbes set up a brew club. people’s homes and brew,“ Scott said.

“We’ll have brewing competitions with Sunshine Coast Brew Club.“ After just one meeting the club has 20

members aged from 21 to 70 years.

At the next meeting to be held on the first Thursday in August The Boiling Pot’s head brewer Pedro Bevilaqua de Lucca will pres-

ent a talk on the influence growing barley and brewing beer had on human civilisation.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Call sends right signals

The hole in the wall kitchen, Ken at work. caramelised onion, the Thief banana chilli and Lost has smoked eggplant. All come with house harissa and charred flatbread.

This is Middle Eastern street food, pure and simple. The kind that Trevor imagines he would find scattered around the markets of many war-torn cities he has so far managed to avoid. However, he has done his time in the souks of Marrakech and Casablanca and experienced similarly remarkable flavours as he watched the passing parade and was serenaded by wailing from the nearby mosque. There was no wailing at Telephone Call the other night, but we made do with the doof-doof booming out of Eddie Cheeba’s and a passing parade on skateboards.

The verdict: you’ll be in and out in 40 minutes so you might want to think about making a plan for later - like the Village Bike or Mr Drifter - but the tastes of Istanbul will linger much longer. For repeat business, Kenny could consider offering more variations, but what he does, he does damn well. Open for lunch and dinner Wednesday to Friday and dinner Saturday.

Telephone Call From Istanbul, reviewed by Trevor Pepys Stumbling around Noosa Junction after that splendid Spanish feast at Sindo’s the other night, looking in vain for a lost Uber, Trevor suddenly felt the urge to be seated, as he sometimes does after the third bottle of wine.

It came as something of a surprise to discover that he had plonked himself down in a restaurant, more or less. A couple of sandstone benches on the footpath, to be precise, with a chef toiling away behind a hole-in-the-wall serving window, above which was etched the mysterious legend, “Telephone Call From Istanbul”. The space, not to mention the aromas emanating from the hole in the wall, was intriguing to say the least.

Following the Casa Anita theory of the less it looks like a restaurant the better the food will be, I found a contact on social media and left a message. Ken, the owner and chef, called me back within the hour and I asked for a booking for four that night. Ken laughed at me. Well, I asked, if you won’t take a booking, what time should I get there to be sure of a table?

“Come early,” he said, “I usually run out of everything on Saturday night.”

So we did, arriving just after dark for what Trev’s mum used to call “early tea”, and taking up residence on the self-same bench that Trev had fallen into previously. This time, however, his wits were in somewhat better shape and, after receiving the assistance of the charming front of house person, Artimis, he was able to order. “We’ll have everything, please.”

Now this was not as bold and daring as it may seem, since TCFI has only three items on the menu, and to the untrained eye, they all appear to be the same. But, as Artimis explained, the subtle differences between Istanbul Knife Fight, A Thief In Jerusalem and Lost In Damascus were significant to the taste buds, and she was right.

These main courses are $16 a pop and ideal for sharing, and can be had with vegetarian falafel or chargrilled lamb, with a bowl of broth (chicken the night we went) chucked in for good measure.

We sipped a passable tumbler of white wine ($8) while we waited for our food to arrive, but if I’d known how cold it was going to get - TCFI could do with a couple of heat towers - I would have ordered the hot Turkish tea with cinnamon-infused whisky, lemon liqueur and honey ($10). But the tucker soon warmed us up.

To be honest, Trevor’s palate has taken such a beating over the years that he found it difficult to distinguish between the three dishes, other than the fact that a couple were falafel and a couple were lamb, but it didn’t matter.

Everything was delicious.

For the record, the Knife Fight features fried green pepper, burnt mint butter and

The Covid-19 pandemic, social isolation, quarantine and border closures came to a shock to many Australians. However, these drastic measures are not without precedent. In 1919 an eerily similar scenario played out as Queensland authorities battled to repel the Spanish Influenza, as this article produced by the Queensland Police Museum demonstrates.

2020 has echoes of 1919

The Quarantine Camp set up at Wallangarra, 1919.

The disease was extraordinarily virulent, with a mortality rate of 2.5% among the infected. There were reports of people seeming

In the last months of 1918, Australia was preparing for an outbreak of a novel influenza.

The Commonwealth Government became aware of the new virus in July that year. Locally, it was known as ‘Pneumonic Influenza’ but internationally, it was called the ‘Spanish Influenza’. Spain was mistakenly identified as the origin of the outbreak when the Spanish king fell ill, and reports of his sickness emerged. In reality, pockets of disease were registered at the London Hospital and Aldershot barracks from 1915 onward. The disease first reached epidemic proportions in garrisons throughout the US in 1918. It then travelled with the American troops to France and eventually across Europe.

In November 1918, the federal conference in Melbourne regulated Australia’s response to the looming health-threat. Ships that arrived with an infected person aboard were massinoculated and quarantined. The first case on shore was registered in January 1919, in Melbourne. Soon after, the virus spread to Sydney. Anticipating an outbreak, the Australian states gradually closed borders.

While trying to curtail the spread, the Commonwealth Government ordered compulsory inoculations of its staff. Some refused to comply.

In February 1919, Queensland applied to the Commonwealth Government for a restraining order to prevent returning troops from landing at a mainland quarantine station. Nevertheless, on 4 February, 260 soldiers landed and were quarantined at Lytton. Four soldiers broke quarantine that very night.

Eventually, an acute muscle pain would overcome the sufferer, accompanied by some combination of vomiting, diarrhoea, watering eyes, a running or bleeding nose, a sore throat and a dry cough.’

Cyanosis, a bluish tinge to the skin, was a tell-tale sign of this infection. The flu, or grippe, infected roughly 2 million Australians in a population of about 5 million.

Despite a range of preventative actions, widespread infection and quarantine measures led to significant food and medical supplies shortages. Brisbane saw its water supply installation interrupted (every link in the work chain broke down because of the virus). Telephone exchange was disrupted, telegraph, postal services, banks and gas supply.

Annual reports presented by Police Commissioner Urquhart to the Parliament indicated Queensland police resources were stretched. Although the department nearly caught up with the personnel shortages following the war, there were still not enough officers ‘to meet requirements and carry a full 8-hour day’.

Borders closed From late January to May 1919, the Queensland and New South Wales border was closed to help stop or at least slow, the spread of the Influenza virus into the state. The Health Acts 1900 to 1917, authorised the Queensland Commissioner of Public Health to issue regulations for state intervention of a person’s civil rights such as mandatory examination, detention and isolation of anyone likely to have been infected or who had been in contact with anyone sick. In1919, regulations issued by John Moore, the Commissioner of Public Health, empowered Police Officers to use reasonable force required to prevent any breach, or to apprehend any person, who had committed or was suspected of committing a breach of the public health laws.

On 28 January 1919, Queensland Police Commissioner Urquhart issued instructions to stop all persons from crossing into Queensland from New South Wales. Inspectors at Toowoomba and the Depot were directed to provide necessary help to all border stations by means of extra men and horses. Soon after, an additional officer was sent to the border towns of Coolangatta and Wallangarra. Eventually, 11 more officers from the Depot were sent to Coolangatta, equipped with 2 Bell tents, 22 brown blankets and 11 x bush rugs, waterproof sheet, pillows and slips and bed covers, for their accommodation and use.

Initially Coolangatta, Wallangarra and Goondiwindi were the only towns with dedicated border crossing points under Pneumonic Influenza Regulations. Though Wallangarra camp was located entirely within the territory of New South Wales, it was run by the Queensland government and health officials.

The government’s decision to rigidly adhere to only three entry points resulted in a significant number of applications for exemptions from the public. In the face of such pressure, the government soon relented and established a medical screening process allowing bona fide Queenslanders to return to the state via Wompah, Hungerford, Wooroorooka, Adelaide Gate and Mungindi. Border patrols were also operating out of Killarney, Stanthorpe, Texas and Hebel among other locations.

During one of these patrols, Constable George Ruming (Reg No 1217) was seriously injured on duty. Constable Ruming was ‘patrolling the borders to enforce the quarantine regulations in the vicinity of Hungerford, when his horse fell and he was badly hurt, being knocked unconscious.’ He resigned from duty in October.

Between March and June 1919, 16 men were charged with breaching Pneumonic Influenza Regulations with fines ranging from £2 to £20.Most men charged were locals with the addition of two sailors from British Columbia, Canada.

An outbreak among the police stationed in Petrie Terrace and Roma Street barracks in Brisbane followed in mid-May 1919. In Petrie Terrace 25 out of 44 policemen had to be hospitalised and 20 out of 117 men got sick in Roma Street. The total strength of ordinary constables in Brisbane stood at 269. This means a third of that number, or approximately 90 constables, would have been available for the round-the-clock 8-hour-shift to police a population of 190,000. A loss of nearly 50 men to infection would have been an extraordinary strain on the department.

First deaths Constable Michael Joseph Flynn (Reg No 988; 2231), who was stationed at Petrie Terrace depot when he got sick, was the first police offi-

HISTORY

Sam and Limerick Johnson. cer to die from Influenza. He died few days after hospitalisation at the Isolation Hospital set up in the Exhibition Grounds. Constable Flynn’s family was also hospitalised, a week earlier. Michael’s wife, Mary Beatrice, succumbed to the disease soon after being admitted, on 12 May. One of their two children was reported to be in critical condition.

Mary Agnes was 4-years-old at the time and Michael was 6. They both survived the infection.

On 1 June, Constable Hubert James Kelly, who was assigned to Mungindi Border Patrol from 2 February 1919, returned to Roma.

Constable Kelly was severely asthmatic and a regular tippler which seemed to help him cope with his asthma. Kelly returned unwell and given his respiratory issues his condition deteriorated quickly. He was placed on sick leave on 6 June, but his health worsened again and rapidly. Kelly died four days later at the hospital, on 10 June 1919.

The official cause of death was Influenza and heart failure. Kelly’s death devastated his family, wife Mary Bridget nee Maguire and two sons aged 5 and 6 years old, personally and financially. Kelly’s wife received a lump sum payment of £191/12/6 but as there was no widows’ pension fund to support families of the deceased officers, the family was soon in financial distress. In November 1921, Mary Kelly applied to be a female searcher at the Brisbane Watchhouse as she was advised there was a vacancy, however, she was misinformed.

On 11 June Acting Sergeant Hennessy and Constable Muir of Toowoomba Police Station were taken to the hospital suffering from influenza. They both recovered.

The total death toll for the force was two officers, Constables Flynn and Kelly.

The same week, on 14 June 1919, Dr Clark inoculated the Cairns police contingent, most likely with little effect, as agreed-upon standards for vaccines were still lacking. However, if nothing else, these vaccination attempts helped ‘to deconstruct existing biomedical knowledge’ which undoubtedly aided epidemiological advances that benefit us today.

Tracker Corporal Sam Johnson was another Queensland Police Force casualty of the outbreak. Johnson was stationed in Longreach when he contracted the virus and died on 22 June 1919. Born about 1877 in Charleville in western Queensland, Sam was a member of the Bidjara people. He was a highly respected horseman and tracker with a quiet and sincere disposition, well built, and fit. He gained renown in 1902 following his role in the Kenniff brothers’ case and murders of Constables Doyle and Dahlke. The trial of the Kenniffs included significant and damning evidence by Sam Johnson. Being the sole survivor of the police party that arrived at Lethbridges Pocket, Sam was subjected to intense cross examination attempting to discredit his testimony.

Johnson was survived by his wife, Limerick, who moved to the Rockhampton area later in 1919, where she died in 1921 and was interred at the Rockhampton Cemetery.

Border patrol All officers on border patrol had to keep an individual diary, while Inspectors and SubInspectors were required to report to the Commissioner on a weekly basis. These notes revealed that Constable Gray stationed at Adelaide Gate, Charleville Police District was provided with three camels by Lucas Hughes, the manager of the Nockatunga Station. The camels were said to be the only means available to Gray for border patrolling through the Western Desert Country. He had to employ an Aboriginal man from the station to help handle the animals. One camel later died, and the owner was compensated £20 for the death. Elsewhere in the Charleville district, border patrol officers had the use of three Howard brand bicycles.

In recognition of the arduous duties performed by the patrol policemen, every day for duration of the border closures, each officer’s pay was supplemented by 7/- per day. The men were at the higher risk of infection due to likely exposure to infected persons.

In late March 1919, Mungindi seems to have become a hot spot for Border Breakers, including women and children. In early May, the vi-

rus finally crossed into Queensland and soon after the government re-opened the borders, as the authorities were no longer able to justify the lock down despite the appeals to keep the borders shut. As a result, all border patrol officers were recalled back to their usual stations.

Penalties for breaching Pneumonic Influenza Regulations ranged from fines of two to 20 pounds to short term imprisonment. In one case, from 12 February 1919, a man travelled to Blackall from the southern border over 600 kilometres, before he was located. He was subsequently isolated for 7 days and then prosecuted for breaching the regulations. The offender admitted to crossing the border at Mungindi, walking to Dirranbandi, then back to Thallon via Warwick, Toowoomba and Brisbane before being arrested at Blackall.

In 1997, the 1918 pneumonic influenza was identified as the H1N1 Influenza A of swine and human subgroup. It is now part of a routine vaccination program.

Chemist that cares The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Queensland, announced that LiveLife Pharmacy Noosaville can now provide Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Services as part of a historic Queensland pilot.

Managing Pharmacist, Mrs Amanda Gravolin, said that she was proud to play such a vital role in supporting women in need of urgent treatment for urinary tract infections.

“With one in two Australian women experiencing a urinary tract infection in their lifetime, we’re pleased to be able to provide women in the Noosa area with effective advice and treatment for uncomplicated UTIs, which may include antibiotics,” Mrs Gravolin said.

“Our pharmacists are all trained to provide the service to non-pregnant women aged 1865.

“No appointment is needed to access the service, so please come in anytime to chat to our pharmacy staff at your convenience.”

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Queensland said that community pharmacies are an accessible primary healthcare destination.

As most community pharmacies are located within 2.5km of Queenslanders, women experiencing a urinary tract infection can be

seen and treated immediately to avoid further complications that could result in hospitalisation.

Under Covid, mental health help dialled in A free digital platform that curates mental health and suicide prevention services on the Sunshine Coast has proven its worth in recent months, with the service accessed almost 1000 times since Covid-19 restrictions were put in place.

USC’s Thompson Institute launched the iHelp digital tool in December last year to bring local services to the fingertips of people who are experiencing a mental health issue or crisis.

Institute Director Professor Jim Lagopoulos said iHelp had been accessed 946 times since Covid-19 led to the closure of Australian bor-

ders in late March.

“When Covid hit, we created a new section that offers mental health advice specific to the pandemic and its repercussions, and almost all users have accessed that information to date,” Professor Lagopoulos said.

“The number of people using the service continues to rise, particularly since Covid hit but also as word-of-mouth and digital advertising share the news that this useful tool is freely available to Sunshine Coast residents.” iHelp is available via a webpage and is a downloadable app for android and iOS phones.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

The digital tool connects people experiencing a crisis to immediate help both locally and further afield. It finds services that match a person’s needs and provides information that demystifies seeking help, such as what to expect from crisis support lines.

Professor Lagopoulos said easy access was key to the success of mental health support.

“Whether a person notices early that their mental health needs attention or whether they are nearing or at a crisis point, it is very important that they can find help quickly and easily, and iHelp exists to help anyone do that,” he said.

By Julian Pitts The Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers begin their premiership defence at Weyba Rd this Saturday afternoon. The defending Hart sports division 1 champs face the Mayne Tigers who come up to Noosa after a terrific first round win over a star-studded Aspley in Brisbane last weekend.

It will be a massive day for the Noosa club as all four senior teams compete at home with our newly formed Coolum-Noosa Colts starting the day at 10am. Our reserves follow at midday with the main game at 2pm followed by the Peter Trompf-coached first ever Noosa women’s side who will surely entertain the crowd under lights.

A big crowd as usual is expected as the Tigers unveil several new recruits for season 2020. Blokes like Meredith, Fraser, Rogers, Harper, Stephenson and Collins should turn

heads on the weekend while usual suspects Laskey, Buntain, Fitzpatrick, McDonald and Maher will be tight among the action.

The form of MCrimmon, Odwyer, Pettigrove and Kenny in last weekends practise match was certainly encouraging to senior coach Adam Bovalino as the ‘back to back’ mantra becomes a Noosa focus. Plenty happening at the club this week starting with our jumper presentations on Thursday night alongside, of course, selection for the weekend.

Our wood fired pizza oven will again be operating while the Tigers juniors also begin their 2020 campaigns this weekend. Good luck to all Tiger teams and don’t miss the unfurling off the 2019 flag at Weyba Rd on Saturday, just prior to the main game.

A massive thank you to all our club sponsors.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Fish ready for the taking From light and variable winds and no swell to onshore and 3 foot and pouring with rain we certainly have seen a change in the weather this week. This has stirred up the rivers and beaches and created ideal conditions for certain species.

Offshore this week we have seen snapper up to 3kg coming from the usual reefs of North, Chardon’s and Sunshine. Paternoster rigs sent down with 4/0-6/0 octopus hooks and squid baits topped off with pilchard works very well.

Now is the time to start thinking about trying to target other bigger species. The most obvious target are cobia and jewfish and there are certainly some big fish around. They love big live baits on bigger hooks which should see snapper and pearlies bypass such offerings.

They are also a sucker for big slow pitch jigs and soft plastics. Snapper tend to like lures slowed down and fished closer to the bottom, but a big Jewie will come off the bottom to grab one. Big cobia will hunt a soft plastic right to the boat and a slow jigged streakz in Smokey Shad is the perfect baitfish colour. Run around 30lb braid and leader to get the best action with 1oz of jighead in deeper waters. Come in and ask us how to fish slow pitch lures including the newer Shimano sardine waver if going to Double Island and beyond. DI is home to a great range of species including amberjack, red emperor and yellowtail kingfish which will jump on lures and soft plastics, making now a great time to try something new.

Surf fishing will see an improvement with the wind and swell stirring up the bottom.

Now is a great time to fish the river mouths to find the big bream and flathead making the most of the cloudier waters to hunt for bait fish. After dark, jewfish will also come out and about. If you find legal sized tailor you would do very well to quickly send it back out with a 7/0 octopus circle placed behind its head as these are a top bait. Live beach worm also makes for an excellent jewie bait so grab some Tru-Turn worm hooks which are big fish hooks. Make sure leaders are 30lb and above and pre-stretch them to remove any memory which gives the best presentation.

The rivers have lots of flathead to 70cm holding along the sandy drop offs. These fish lay in wait for a passing prey item to swim overhead. The trick to targeting flatties on lures is to fish slower and lighter than you think. Soft plastics correctly weighted should be able to drift in the current and not plummet like a brick. Be sure to ask us how we wait our plastics and take a look at the various offerings on the plastics wall that appeal to these masters of the ambush attack. Other fish high on anglers catch list have to be bream. Right now our local population of bream are breeding and clearly fatter than usual. These fish will smash mullet gut, foul gut as well is mullet strip. If wanting to crack a PB on lures be sure to use soft

To find such fish get yourself around the river mouth rocks and dog beach rocks. Upriver the smaller jewies are schooling around the ski run, jew hole and between the lakes. With the recent rains they may move down river to the saltier waters of the river mouth. Now is the time to fish with soft vibes from Samaki, Berkley and Jackall.

If you are around structure you can retro fit a pair of twin assists like the Atomic Trick bits.

This will see a stronger hook set and less likely

Celebrating cricket return It has, to say the least, been a tough time for sportsmen and women, administrators and fans locally and beyond in recent times.

I feel must be on the improve. Some local sports are edging back to a start in a new and sometimes challenging environment. Hopefully that light at the end of tunnel is getting brighter. Abiding by a new set of rules and applying yet another dose of hand sanitizer is surely not too high a price to pay.

I was thrilled to see Cricket back in action albeit it in England and then the Broncos finally managed a win. It could be the win that allows the Broncos to paper over the cracks and pretend all is well. I hope that is not the case. It was however a win and Broncos fans will take any positive they can get at the moment. Fans probably should enjoy that sense of euphoria that came with the win because I am afraid it may not last too long.

On the international cricket scene, there was little joy for the Poms (sigh) after the first Test against the West Indies. It is great to see a Windies team back on top in a red ball game and in England to boot.

There has been something not quite right in the world order of cricket since the West Indies fell into the Test Cricket doldrums.

The final day of the first Test played behind closed doors in Southampton was a gripping affair. The Windies were chasing a 200 runs to win in a see-sawing contest.

The tourists lost three quick wickets and at 3/27 the pendulum had swung in favour of the Poms.

But there were more twists and turns to come. English opener John Campbell retired hurt; brought undone by the bowling of English quick Jofra Archer.

A magnificent knock of 95 by Jermaine Blackwood put the visitors back in a winning position. Blackwood showed plenty of ticker against the English attack before he was dismissed with his side needing only 11 runs for victory.

His dismissal brought a limping John Campbell back to the crease. It was left to Campbell and his captain and fast bowler Jason Holder to scamper through for the winning runs giving the Windies a memorable four wicket win.

Not too long ago sport and especially International sport of any ilk seemed a far off dream.

Let’s hope that this fluctuating contest was just a tasty entree for what lies ahead after what has been, and are crazy times.

Now if the Broncos can just conjure another win this week Queenslanders will know we have surely turned the sporting corner.

LET THERE BE LIGHT Covid might have done it hardest to bend our spirits and stop out sports but the Noosa Pirates are edging closer to the completion of the lighting project at their Tewantin ground. The poles were eased into place on both the League and Touch fields a couple of weeks ago. A big plus for the clubs and the community. The lights should be operational in the very near future giving even more meaning to that saying “Let There Be Light.” Great work by all involved in the project.

JUNIOR PIRATES - BRONCOS ACADEMY Three of the Noosa Pirates Under 14 Junior players were invited to attend the Broncos Academy Development Program recently. Zac Garton, Jai Bowden and Blaine Watson joined a group of players from North Queensland. the Gold Coast, Toowoomba and Brisbane last weekend at the Broncos Red Hill Headquarters.

All three did their Pirates club extremely proud as they were pout through a gruelling two hour training session. It doesn’t end there for the boys they will be doing it all again next weekend at the Sunshine Coast University.

With the start of the junior season just a couple of weeks away be sure to keep an eye out for the progress of these three boys as they go round in the mighty blue and gold.

JUNIOR LEAGUE RETURNS Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby League kicks

CASEY’S NRL ROUND 10 TIPS ROOSTERS STORM TIGERS DRAGONS RABBITOHS EELS SHARKS PANTHERS Friday, 17 July, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 43

SPORT NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Storm calls Coast home Local footy fans will be treated to a winter storm front like no other, with three NRL games featuring the Melbourne Storm coming to Sunshine Coast Stadium, delivering a great boost for the region.

All three matches are Storm-allocated home games and form part of their commitment to the Sunshine Coast after relocating from their Victorian base.

A Covid Safe plan has been approved by the Queensland Government and includes authority for a seating capacity of 6000 at the Stadium.

The first match will be held on Friday, 17 July, with Storm to play a round 10 clash against Gold Coast Titans with kick-off at 6pm.

Melbourne Storm and Sunshine Coast Lightning members can grab their tickets at midday Thursday, 9 July and are encouraged to get in quick as tickets are limited. Public tickets are on sale from 1pm.

Melbourne Storm has also locked in home games at Sunshine Coast Stadium against Newcastle Knights on Sunday 2 August at 4.05pm and against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs on Saturday 8 August at 3pm.

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the Storm’s decision to pursue the approvals to host these games at the Stadium was a win-win for the NRL and our region.

“We know the Sunshine Coast is a destination of choice for major sporting teams and events and this announcement serves to reinforce that fact,” Mayor Jamieson said.

“We have a track record of selling out the Stadium for top-level rugby league and have no doubt this will be repeated for these Melbourne Storm ‘home’ games, even though it will be a reduced number due to Covid-19 guidelines.

“Our Stadium surface is in pristine condition and is NRL-ready.

“The match against the Titans on 17 July will also be the first opportunity to officially use our new LED Broadcast Lighting system installed earlier this season, which has made hosting these games possible.

“The lighting upgrade had been installed for two other NRL matches and Women’s State of Origin fixtures originally planned pre Covid-19.

“While those two NRL fixtures have unfortunately been cancelled for this year, it is very exciting they have been replaced by these three Storm fixtures.

“We also remain hopeful that the Women’s State of Origin match will be played on the Sunshine Coast later in the year.

“I’m sure today’s exciting news will draw people from across Queensland to combine enjoying a game of NRL with a holiday in the best location in Australia.”

Melbourne Storm CEO Dave Donaghy said the team had settled in well since temporarily relocating to the Sunshine Coast.

Storm CEO Dave Donaghy said the club was delighted to have Sunshine Coast Stadium as its temporary home ground as the unpredictable season 2020 continues.

“The squad has transitioned extremely well to the Coast and they’re very much looking forward to making Sunshine Coast Stadium home for our next three allocated home matches,” Donaghy said.

“It’s a first-class regional facility which is a credit to the Sunshine Coast.

“It continues to be a very unusual time for our club, and the NRL. “Our thanks go to Sunshine Coast Council for joining us in a partnership which will bring the NRL to our Queensland members and fans, as well as the Coast’s league community after they experienced the disappointment of missing out on two NRL games earlier in the season.

“While we have played trial games here in the past, these will be our first official NRL games at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

“They will be three big events to get along to and we look forward to seeing the Purple Army in big numbers.

“Whilst Melbourne will always be home, the extraordinary circumstances we face in Victoria left us with no alternative but to depart when we did.

“We are feeling for our members and all Victorians who received some challenging news yesterday with regards to further lockdowns.

Melbourne Storm has locked in home games at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

“Hopefully the situation improves as a result of the measures taken and we can bring some cheer to our members and fans back home by making them proud on the field.”

Sunshine Coast Economic Portfolio Councillor Jason O’Pray said the national exposure that would be provided with these three events would provide great opportunities for the region and contribute to boosting the local economy.

“Sourcing local food, beverages, security and production will see some much needed activity in these sectors and for those hundreds of people employed to deliver these events,” Cr O’Pray said.

“In a very competitive tourism market, the national coverage for two games on FOX and one game on FOX and Channel 9 is another great opportunity to showcase our region and entice visitors to come, stay and play on the Sunshine Coast.

“I encourage our residents and Queenslanders to mark the dates in the diary now and book your tickets as soon as possible because they’ll be snapped up very quickly.”

Ticket prices for all games are: a) General Admission Adult: $30 Child: $20 Concession: $28 Family: $80 b) Premium General Admission: Adult $40 Child $28 Concession $36 Family $100 c)Grandstand: $75 d) Try Zone: $60 Booking fees apply.

Tickets are available via Ticketek https:// premier.ticketek.com.au/.

Kick-off for the Friday 17 July match is at 6pm. For further information on the game and corporate packages visit www.sunshinecoaststadium.com.au

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

The magic still remains There’s nothing like a double bunger birthday celebration to bring out the silliness in families, and we had a doozie last weekend, thanks to my lovely daughters.

Grandson Jack was turning 16 and getting his L-plates, Poppie Phil was turning blahde-blah and getting his pension card. We had booze, we had cake, we had seriously adult soft drinks, we had a sunny afternoon and Spotify blasting out a Sixties playlist, we had sociallydistanced seating arrangements and we had a dear mate visiting from Sydney with the loudest laugh in captivity ... what could possibly go wrong!

Well, a bloke wandered up our street into our garden and he looked suspiciously like a magician I once knew. I looked once, I looked twice. Yes, a little greyer, a few crow’s feet around the eyes, but praise the lord and pull the rabbit out of the hat, it was indeed the mighty Sean The Magician.

When we came to live in Noosa in 1990, LA-born Sean Tretheway had been pulling rabbits out of hats and poking lit cigarettes through expensive shirts much to the shock and then amazement of the patrons of all of Hastings Street’s best restaurants for half a dozen years. He was a legend in the making, and when he first performed magic at our table, I made the mistake of asking him where he learnt to be a magician. The answer is Hollywood’s famous and exclusive Magic Castle Club, but on this occasion he came in so close that his red bow tie was tickling my whiskers, and he whispered ominously, “I am not a magician. I am a sleight-of-hand artist, a multi-disciplinary prestidigitator, from the Latin presto meaning quick, and digit meaning finger.”

By now I was getting ready to give our new friend the finger, but he turned out to be not only a remarkably skilled and entertaining, ah, prestidigitator, but a good friend who always put his hand up to raise money for a cause.

When I turned 40, Philthy Phil’s Phortieth Phestivities at Palmer’s featured Doc Span and Ross Williams playing the blues and Sean pulling the rabbits. What a night it was!

Nearly 30 years on, Sean’s come to terms with the fact that magician is a lot easier to say, but the wow factor of his repertoire has lost none of its gloss.

Courtesy of my girls, on our front lawn last weekend he had not just the four sceptical grandsons but the entire family gasping as cards and rabbits magically appeared in places they could not possibly be, long ropes grew short and vice versa, and, on request, a ciggie-burnt birthday shirt emerged undamaged from its smoky encounter with a true master of magic.

I can’t believe that Sean is still plying his genius for magic around Noosa, but he is, and I’m glad. You will be too if you have a party coming up. Flip him a mail at sean@thenoosamagician.com Foiled again Speaking of crazily-talented old mates, Maui’s Dave Kalama is not only one of the world’s greatest all-round watermen, equally at home towing into monster mid-ocean waves or fooling around with a dozen kids on a SUP, but he has been cracking up his wide circle of friends for years with his antics.

When I worked in Europe a couple of decades ago, Dave, Brian Keaulana, Titus Kinimaka and Mel Pu’u were our Hawaiian waterman team, and I had some wonderful times travelling and surfing with them from Ireland to Italy and all points in between.

In Sardinia one year, when we lucked into a swell, Dave and Titus pulled out their newfangled foils and put on a show, carving across big, chunky faces at high speed.

I’d never seen a foil in action before and I was amazed, but a decade later I hoped I’d never see another one dominating a surf break.

Dave Kalama foil breakthrough.

Sean the Magician, 1991.

The mighty U-9 Leopards.

I can see the attraction but the required skill level in the surf is high and too many learners are an accident waiting to happen.

So it was great to see Dave taking the mickey out of the foil scene in a recent post on social media. Tongue firmly in cheek, he wrote: “One of the things I love about foiling is that the rules aren’t written yet and I can really ex-

Sean still pulling rabbits out.

Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an attraction to rectangles and you can see the influence on my latest design.”

Yep, sure can.

The leopards are back!

Finally, it was great to see Number 4 grandson beaming last weekend, not just at Sean the Magician but because the mighty Noosa FC Under 9 Leopards were back in action after a three-month Covid hiatus, and rarin’ to go with a 4-2 win in a belated 2020 season opener.

Go boys!

Talking Sport Ron Lane

Dolphins new gym

Dolphins on the move When something like Covid-19 hits the world of sport it is easily to sink into a very depressed and negative frame of mind. It is then that the positive thinkers and doers, come to the fore front. They are the ones that, being fully aware of the situation, take a firm attitude and begin to plan for the future.

Regardless of the present situation, if we fail to plan, then we plan to fail.

Happy to say a number of our clubs have some of these people on board and their positive attitudes are showing. One such club is the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union. It was back in the early 1980s, over a cold glass of beer at the Noosa Heads Surf Club, that a small group of men with the positive attitude required to build a club, came into being. They took the necessary steps: formed and named the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club; the rest is now history.

When you talk to the Noosa club President Donald McKill, Head Coach Michael Phelan and forward coach Josh Mason, it becomes quite obvious the necessary positive attitude is alive, and very active. “We have come through the last few months in a very successful state of mind. Our supporters and sponsors have stood by us and we have made vast improvements in all aspects of our club life. We built a new modern gymnasium and equipment shed, a new electronic score board, new camera and security lighting system, updated our canteen by installing Keliher kitchen equip46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 July, 2020

ment and also obtained a new ride on mower.

A major part of our pre season work, has been the support of our Old Boys: with people such as life member Max Gunthorpe, leading the drive, this team has become a very important part of our structure.

However most important of all, the starting dates for our competition have been set: this will not only get our players back on the paddock, but also bring the families and supporters back to Dolphin Park. I sincerely thank all who have helped during these months of turmoil.”

But now, the man in the hot seat would have to be head coach, Michael Phelan: to get all players back onto the paddock, settled into their teams and training programs (all done with the ever- present regulations still in place and strictly enforced in the club) will not be easy. “We are very confident; we have a good coaching panel of five and the players necessary to fill our four teams (in the senior division), the A’s, Reserves, Colts and Ladies.”

For the ladies this season will be a big step forward. For the first time they will play a full team of 15, whereas in previous seasons, their competition has only been for 7player teams.

“The overall competition for our district,” said the coach, “will see a total of 6 teams in A grade, 10 in reserve, 6 in the colts(u/19s) and 6 in the girls. With regards to the A’s we see Caloundra as our toughest competition. However, for us the big news is that the starting dates have

been announced. Our first game will be August 1, at Maroochydore, vs Maroochydore and our first home game will be the following Saturday, August 8, Dolphin Park. The other important date, our annual trip to New Zealand for our u/15 team, is still uncertain; this will of course rest with the appropriate authority.”

Life for coach Phelan, started 56 years ago, in the township of Allora in the Southern Downs Region of Queensland. His education commenced at the local state school where he studied until year 10; following this, he spent his final years 11/12, at Downlands College Toowoomba: it was here that he got his first serious taste of rugby union, playing in the centres for the college. On graduation, at age 17, he immediately entered the Police Academy in Brisbane and on completing his basic training, received his first posting; this was to keep him in Brisbane for a further twelve months. His next move was to Mt Isa, a town that he was to call home for the next eight years.

“The attitude up there to football was real country stuff: you played union on Saturday and rugby league on Sunday and that was the thing to do: the two different codes, on the two consecutive days. The way the games are played now it would be absolutely impossible.”

It was in 1992, that Michael arrived in Noosa. On doing so he immediately joined the Dolphins and continued in the game, playing in the backs. After retiring in 1997, he took his first coaching job with Dolphins Colts (u/19s)

team. In 1999 he moved up to coach the reserves with Shane Teah, a former Kiwi player.

Then in 2001-2004 he coached the A’s and 2005--2006, dropped back to work as coach of Colts, at the same time playing several games for the Reserves. The year 2007, saw him return to the A’s.

Standing next to the head coach this year as an assistant, will be the A’s forward coach, Josh Mason. In this his fifth year as a coach, it will be his first season working at the higher level; and he adds with a big smile, “It really is a challenge, but it is something I am looking forward to.” Born in Brisbane and raised in Rainbow Beach, he, like his head coach, spent some years as a student at Downlands and there played rugby for his college. Then as a career choice, in 2007, he also joined the ranks of the Queensland Police.

In his first posting he was stationed at Proserpine and in another similarity with his head coach, he played both codes, union and league. In 2013, he came to Noosa, immediately joined Dolphins and started coaching the reserves: despite a transfer to Maroochydore, he stayed loyal to the Dolphins. In both careers we wish him well.

This Friday afternoon, starting at 3.30pm at the Dolphins clubhouse, the Dolphins will host their sponsors to a seasons relaunch; local VIPs will be in attendance. Next week Noosa Today will talk with Zoe Griffon, Junior President of the famous Noosa Dolphins.

AIR OF CONFIDENCE ACROSS THE MARKET PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY

Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate at 3/35 Picture Point Crescent, Noosa Heads. values leading up to mid-March when the restrictions begun.

“As we moved further down the line through April and into May, stock levels continued to remain extremely low.

“Pressure on owners to sell remains limited - this may be delayed until the various support and stimulus packages come to an end.

“There are no signs of a significant increase in property listings. It appears that potential vendors are postponing going to the market.

“Agents are reporting that stock levels may rise through the traditional spring sales period.’’

Mr Greensill said the general location of sales appeared to be somewhat consistent with trends prior to the restrictions taking place. Typically highly sought-after areas remain desirable to buyers.

“The Noosa market continues to remain strong. Market fundamentals of supply and demand remain strong.

“There are low stock levels, good demand and of the sales that are occurring, limited discounting to now.

“We have noted a significant number of higher end transactions, in some cases offmarket, that have been strong with some good value increases. This shouldn’t be a surprise because to encourage owners to sell in a low-supply market like we are experiencing, you really do need upward pressure on values.

“We have been advised of four sales

in excess of $6,000,000 along the beachfront and a number of canal/ riverfront sales. Some of these sales are setting new records.’’

PROPERTY CLOCK IN FAVOURABLE POSITION The property clock for the Sunshine Coast has been pegged at the ’approaching peak’ for housing and ’rising market’ for units for quite some time.

According to HTW’s Stuart Greensill, this is mainly a reflection of the first half of 2019 where the region experienced a slowing in the market on the back of the slowing Sydney and Melbourne markets, effects of the Banking Royal Commission and the lead-up to the Federal election (May 2019).

“The result of the Federal election had a significant positive effect on the market which when combined with the market improvements in Sydney and Melbourne markets and passing effects of the Banking Royal Commission we saw increases in both enquiry and sale volumes.

“This continued into the first quarter of 2020 prior to the Covid-19 restrictions.

Since then we have put the property clock on a hiatus given we have not been too sure of which way we would be moving especially once the stimulus/relief packages have been removed.

“Anecdotally, market fundamentals of supply and demand remain good.

“There are low stock levels, good

IN the current market a few weeks is a very long time.

During this period we have seen a significant change across Australia and the Sunshine Coast.

In valuers HTW Sunshine Coast’s quarterly report director Stuart Greensill said the missed trade due to the Covid-19 lockdown since late March was significant across the retailers, cafes, restaurants and of course, our tourism operators.

While the traditional carpark on the Bruce Highway to Brisbane was nonexistent, locals had quicker commutes to the beach and could easily find a carpark.

“Over the past couple of weeks with virus numbers working in our favour and a relaxing of restrictions there is a different vibe. General confidence is starting to return.

“Residential and commercial agents are reporting improved enquiry in this time.

“In the residential market it has been across the spectrum for value, while for commercial it has primarily been in the lower end, owner-occupier and investor market.’’

Mr Greensill said holiday booking agencies and on-site managers have indicated strong forward bookings for both the September school holidays and also the Christmas period.

A number of complexes are reporting that there is no vacancy for Christmas, which is typical.

Property market fundamentals, particularly around limited supply, remain good.

“Late 2019 and into the first quarter of 2020 saw us experiencing good demand and sale activity,’’ Mr Greensill said.

“Consequently we had upward pressure on

demand and of the sales that are occurring, limited discounting from list prices - less than 5%.

DRESS-CIRCLE LOCATION It’s rare to find a totally renovated apartment just behind Hastings St but Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate has one.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment 3/35 Picture Point Cres, Noosa Heads, is one of four in the boutique block.

The views from the deck are mesmerizing … Laguna Bay is right there in front of you, with Hastings St in the foreground and the picture framed by the North Shore’s beaches, right the way to Teewah and the sand dunes of Cooloola Recreation Area which is part of the Great Sandy National Park.

In the first week Mr Chen had 14 people at the open - from Brisbane, locally and one from Sydney who was stranded in Noosa due to COVID-19.

The apartment was just as busy at the second open for inspection.

“It’s been a great response,’’ he said.

“It’s a very high quality renovation.

“They are going to sell it.’’

The set of apartments was built in the late ’70s if not early ’80s. There is a sister building next door.

Once people walk down the drive, and up the stairs they stop at a platform.

“It’s funny,’’ Mr Chen said. “I’m inside but cannot attract their attention. They just get carried out to the view.

“It’s one of the best views that I’ve seen in my 30-plus years in Noosa, encompassing everything - the whole bay and river mouth, the North Shore beaches and hinterland.

“A couple from Brisbane, when they walked in they stopped and said the views were better than expected.

“There is nothing to do to the apartment. You are right above Hastings St and there is a rainforest walk down to the beach.’’

The apartment is rendered internally over the solid brick walls, features solid oak flooring in dark toning and all new appliances.

It is open every Saturday at 11am.

to get contracts on an early 1980s Noosa Sound home.

The three-bedroom, two-plus bathroom house on 636sq m at 9 Key Ct had been in the same ownership for much of the time.

It attracted three offers - two from Melbourne buyers and another from an expat based in Hong Kong.

Listed at $1,950,000, the two-level house enjoys an eastern corner of one of the Sound’s pretty courts.

The early Noosa character of the house features rustic high-vaulted ceilings, magnificent open fireplace with brick chimney and an L-shaped open plan living area just off the modern kitchen where the Caesarstone breakfast bar forms a focal point of the living area.

In the north-east is a covered patio overlooking tropical gardens and free-form pool.

“It’s old school,’’ Mr Evans said, “solid clinker-style brick.

“Exposed beams and timber-lined ceilings are a feature of the living area.

“Three bedrooms upstairs all have timber wall panelling timber lined.

“There is a nice return veranda off two of the bedrooms. That gives a nice aspect to Noosa Hill.

“There was a lot of interest on it ... contracts have been submitted. We are presently dealing with Hong Kong expats who already have a Noosa property interest.

“They intend to significantly upgrade the property. Looking to go immediately into rental pool.

“Right pricing is critical. Get that right and you get buyers. Everyone is watching.

“With the lockdown, people are happy to work from home. They realise they can not only live there and run their businesses from there.

“They see they can do it quite successfully so why not in Noosa.

“They see Noosa as a safe haven and with a reasonable chance of capital growth.’’

Mr Evans has now listed a four-bedroom, four-bathroom house with pool at 9 Goodchap St, Tewantin, that he describes as a beach house in the poinciana-lined avenue near the river.

LAND IN DEMAND There is a huge demand for land in the

Noosa hinterland, just ask Lian Scott of Wythes Real Estate.

There were 26 groups at the first open ... a traffic jam for a block of land. That’s unheard of.

But the property, at 44 Pottery St, Pomona, was close to town and being sold with the inclusion of a temporary tiny home.

“The main demand is people wanting to build their own home and within walking distance to town,’’ Ms Scott said.

“There were lots of locals inquiring throughout the campaign, also from coastal Noosa and the southern Sunshine Coast.

“It was incredible numbers - 360 looks at the on-line video, 47 phone calls and 31 email inquiries. About half were from Brisbane.

“It’s mainly the scarcity of land ... people are sick of looking at homes that do not suit them.

“They are looking for land or house and land.’’

The 2ha Pottery St parcel went to auction last Saturday.

With seven registered bidders, Ms Scott saw bidding reach $535,000. In postauction negotiations an offer was on the table Sunday and another one coming in.

“We have such a wide range of properties here in the hinterland ... from

NEW STOCK LONGBEACH LINEN SOFA’S

Kin Kin to Eerwah Vale, all of different size and topography. The hinterland is so diverse.

Now Ms Scott is marketing an immaculate, brand-new, five-bed, three-plus bath house with six-car accommodation on 8072sq m.

The house, in an elevated position at 46 Coast View Parade, Doonan, comes with panoramic coast views, showroom garage, 13-metre lap pool, and 16.7 kW solar. ● Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

IDE APPEAL FOR TIKE DUPLEXES There has been massive interest in the three properties up for sale following the voluntary administration of TIKE Properties.

All three designer duplex properties are different and in differing locations.

Two of the properties have already been offered this year.

Now David Garwood of Garwood Estate Agents is offering 1 and 2/19 Ann St, Noosaville, for sale by auction.

“The Ann St duplexes were without doubt the best location,’’ Mr Garwood said.

“I had thought the prospective purchasers would all be retirees or downsizers from Noosa Waters or similar, but was surprised that Brisbane investors/ holiday users have featured strongly in the mix.

“Of course, email and phone enquiries from Victoria have been strong, but are unable to visit - resulting in several proxy inspection visits.

“It will be interesting to see the eventual mix of serious buyers.

“There has been a substantial delay in the issuing of title, which has delayed to this date the decision on an auction date.

“Legal issues have now been resolved, and the survey plan is with the Department of Natural Resources in Brisbane awaiting title issue.

“Covid-19 is being used everywhere to justify administrative delays.’’

Both of the duplex homes have private plunge pools, and are finished to a high standard with Miele and Blanco appliances in the high-spec kitchens, plus ducted and zoned air-conditioning.

There are three full bedrooms, two bathrooms, outdoor entertaining and the purity of the Noosaville Riverside precinct.

They will be pet friendly with low body corporates, and have a real benefit of preinstalled lift shafts.

“Everyone wants a price guide’’ Mr Garwood said, “but giving a price guide on auctions in Queensland is illegal.

“However, similar properties sell for between $1.2m and $1.4m in normal times.’’

The property is brand new, vacant and open for inspection each Saturday at 11am.

HOME FOCUS

BEACHSIDE INDULGENCE IN STELLAR HOME WAKE up to the mellifluous sound of waves crashing onshore, check surf breaks from the roof top terrace, grab your board and be toes-in-the-sand on Sunshine Beach in three minutes.

There is simply nothing like it especially when home happens to be a spectacular, much coveted beachside indulgence which defines the streetscape. Yes, it is where dreams are made.

Easy to see why. At the end of a quiet leafy cul-de-sac, a rich earthy hued masterpiece, verdant green hedge, fox tail palms and a massive glass door contribute to a bold entrance statement.

Step inside and sigh. If you think you have walked onto a Hollywood movie set, you could be right, especially when this pinnacle of design comes with everything that opens and shuts. You can almost reach for the stars, 6-stars in fact, when fully automated industrial-designed

out on the eastside, integrated Miele appliances and a Liebherr fridge/freezer, a one-off design rubbish chute and Corella stone island bench top.

Barbecues more your speed? There are ceiling mounted speakers plus skylights over the casual dining area on the pool terrace, with its fully integrated barbeque/ wok burners.

Looking for more? The king-of-kings master suite, which has the illusion of floating on the pool, has a pull-down television, surround sound and privacy bifolds, creating a haven for relaxation. The walk-in robe was designed for a fashionista, and the ensuite is perfection with Boyd stone basins, Paco Jaason waterfall spouts, limestone vanities plus a drenching rose in the huge walk-in shower.

Take the lift or the stairs and discover two queen-size bedrooms and a sumptuous bathroom with solid brass vanity basin and

sectional glass walls on two sides of the vast living spaces, seemingly disappear into oblivion. They divulge a seamless focus of the alfresco terrace as well as an introspective eye to the glittering pool, with its automated designer water features and themed colours.

Living and loving life comes with many options, especially for serious entertainers.

The more central lounge zone near the pool is for multi-media aficionados. Two parallel island-style bars with limestone tops and numerous fridges are next to a dining space also another lounge, albeit a more casually appointed space. This opens harmoniously out to a massive northeasterly terrace with eye-catching L-shaped seating.

Commensurate with the over-generosity of space and first-class quality is the kitchen. Exceptional features include a huge window with gas struts opening

huge oval-shaped Boyd stone bath with ceiling mounted waterspout. The space currently used as a gymnasium has DA approved plans for a further two bedrooms.

The tour de force continues on the roof top where Coral Sea and white-water waves shoreside are panoramic, and sundowners are just a prequel to dinner under the stars.

The emotional impact of varying spaces, volumes, and mood are intrinsic to passive sustainability, yet court appealing contrasts between textures and the materials palette, which is natural, down to earth, consistent, and totally chic.

“Enjoy the anonymity of the location so close to the surf or doggy beach,” effuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter, “and it’s just five minutes to Sunshine Beach village where the local cafe society preserve the ‘barefoot if you like’ attitude.” ●

COOROY MOVING AHEAD - ENTRY LEVEL COOROY, historically a country town, is now a vibrant trendy town with so much to offer. Living a hop skip and a jump away from the main shopping area, bowls and RSL clubs, cafes and restaurants, may be appealing for those who love to walk and dine with close proximity to home.

European and Asian flavours, plus fresh produce from local farmers, boutique cafes and a variety of interesting shops, are just some of the attractions of living in this area.

Five minutes away, one can wonder to Noosa Botanical Gardens in Lake MacDonald and go for a kayak. If you are in a more adventurous mood, and eager to visit the Noosa River or eastern beaches, the 15 minute drive will go unnoticed as you drive down the Cooroy-Noosa road and breathe the fresh air and view the scenery along the way. Cooroy is really about enjoying the best of both worlds.

This two-bedroom villa is the lowest price in the area. Theodora believes this villa is a great size for one or two persons and is a great opportunity to enter the market. Pet friendly as well.

One of five villas, No 3 is an end villa with lovely sunny mornings and an extraordinary large courtyard leading to a single lock-up garage, with walk through to

Diamond Lane. The villa has a welcoming front garden which is looked after by all who live there. Upon entry, there is a long tiled hallway, branching off to two lovely bedrooms and a central bathroom. The very modern kitchen has stone bench tops, Bosch dishwasher and electric stove/oven.

With solar panels, your electricity bill will always be low and in the event of a storm, there is a booster switch for the hot water service. Alongside, very low body corporates, this is a low maintenance and low cost property to maintain. Motivated vendors seek a result. â—?
