Chill out with surf code

By Phil Jarratt It was more than a bit chilly when three Noosa teenaged surfers starred in Surf Code - Feel the Stoke, filming for which concluded at First Point this week.

The “infotainment“ video series is being made for the Noosa World Surfing Reserve by Tewantin’s Panga Productions to teach beginner surfers safety and courtesy in the waves.

Because it’s summer all year round in Noosa, director Shaun Cairns insisted that Ben Lorentson, playing the villain, leave his wetsuit on the beach. Tough call on a cold day, but that’s show biz.

Drowning in mud Too much sediment is killing the small marine life in the Noosa River that feed the fish and prawns, a groundbreaking study of the Noosa River ecosystem has revealed.University of Queensland Professor Greg Skilleter joined project stakeholders beside Noosa River on Tuesday to release his report on a study which repeated an investigation in the Noosa River he had conducted 20 years before, enabling a direct comparison. The professor led a research team that studied the benthic layer to measure the “little critters“ that live in the mud and provide the major food source for fish and

prawns and included a study of the activities conducted on land along the catchment.

The study found a 30-65 per cent decline in the organisms compared to findings in 1998.

Dr Skilleter said some species were on the fringe of being locally extinct and bivalves that used to be there in their hundreds per square metre were “gone completely“. “We could barely find a prawn in the system,“ he said.

He said the team couldn’t find enough prawns to study their abundance while 100 years ago prawns were being pulled from the river by the ton.

“For any effective management we need to

have data to tell us about changes and to fix any problem detected,“ he said.

Dr Skilleter said the significant decline was “a serious concern“ indicating something has to be done if the river was to be maintained.

“There are solutions,“ he said. “This is reversible. It will take commitment and funding.

It’s not simple.“ Dr Skilleter said from a water quality perspective the river had no heavy pollutants.

Sediment was a physical thing that could be moved.

Reducing the amount of sediment entering the river system from erosion along the

catchment and opening up the river mouth to enable it to flush out will help prevent it from being trapped, he said. Bringing back oysters will help filter the water and reestablishing mangroves and seagrass would help contain the sediment, he said.

The study was the third component of the Bring Back the Fish research program, a joint initiative of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF), Noosa Parks Association and The Thomas Foundation, aimed at understanding how to improve biodiversity in the Noosa River.

Proposed playground site in Cooroy

Cooroy Area Residents Association (CARA) is calling on Noosa Council to scale-back the proposed Hinterland Adventure Playground design and conduct a wider community consultation on the project.

Noosa Council is pushing ahead with the project though Mayor Clare Stewart said Covid-19 had delayed the assessment of tenders and there would be further discussion on it.

Noosa Council has allocated $1 million in the 2020-21 Budget which is included in its $27 million Capital Works budget to progress the playground, she said. The State Government has committed $2.8 million to the project.

CARA president Rod Ritchie said residents from the association would like the proposed $5.2m playground at Mill Place “scaled back”.

“Everybody thinks it’s a very overdeveloped project,” he said.

Mr Ritchie said a smaller scale playground would be more affordable to maintain and better suit the small town.

“For a small town to spend $5.2m on a playground seems frivolous at this stage,” he said.

“We want something good but think it’s totally over ambitious.”

He said community groups were given briefings on the project during planning but apart from information stands at the Noosa Show and the Community Hall the project was

never really put to the community for consultation.

Cr Stewart said the new council would be briefed on the project within the next fortnight.

“Our staff are still assessing tenders for the project and we hope to have further talks in coming weeks about the project,” she said.

Former Mayor Tony Wellington described the playground as a “place-making” project for Cooroy with benefits to health and wellbeing as well as employing consultants, builders, artists and maintenance workers.

He said to not proceed with the project would mean giving back to the State Government a grant obtained for the playground.

In 2006 a Mill Place master plan was developed which included a smaller scale playground but design staff had collaborated with playground to come up with the design concepts.

The playground plan retains the natural creek and mature trees along its border and retains an existing man-made drain as a point of interest, while the central feature of the playground will be “a man-made water-play area.

There was $100,000 allocated to “art discovery elements” and wheelchair accessible elements will include view platforms, sensory gardens, accessible pathways and facilities, water play access and rock stacking activities.

Are Noosa residents taking restrictions seriously?

A Noosa Today journalist hit the streets of Tewantin to ask residents: Do you think people in the community are taking Covid-19 restrictions seriously?

Here’s what they had to say.

1. Tom Sherley - “Most are but there are a few that aren’t. I saw people not taking it seriously in a restaurant on Saturday night. I wasn’t originally for shutting the border to other states but I’m all for it now.”

2. Stephen Mckernan - “Yes for sure. Just from having a look around you can see people are behaving themselves. I think it’s a very good idea to shut the border to hot-spot areas.”

3. Jessica Brown - “No, I was just in a coffee shop and no one was social distancing or recording contacts. So, we went to a different place that was quieter.”

A new partnership between Noosa Council and United Synergies (now called Youturn Youth support) intends to provide tiny houses for young people who are homeless.

Youturn thinks there are somewhere between 80 and 200 homeless youth in the Noosa region. At $100,000 per tiny house that may amount to between $820m.

But how are other countries tackling homelessness?

Finland has been held up as the shining example in Europe for its Housing First solution to homelessness and now boasts not only having ended its homeless issue but has saved money.

Instead of trying to sort out people’s problems that led them to homelessness the Finland model provides people who are homeless with housing and has found sorting out other problems such as mental health issues, unemployment, financial issues are much easier to deal with once people have a home.

In other news, if you’ve thought the Noosa River was becoming a bit more cloudy over the past few years, you’re probably right. A UQ study found it’s filling with sediment that is suffocating the creatures that live at the bottom, starving them of food as well as the fish that eat them. There are no solutions yet.

And finally welcome to all our new Australian citizens. Wunya.

Youturn Youth Support Homelessness general manager Darce Foley and CEO Andrew Anderson

You Turn aiming to get youth on track

By Margaret Maccoll As well as a name change United Synergies will upgrade facilities and has launched a tiny house solution for youth homelessness in Noosa and a transitional housing project in Toowoomba to mark both National Homelessness Week and the 30th anniversary of the establishment of United Synergies.

Thirty years ago a group of committed individuals in Noosa set up the non-profit-organisation, United Synergies, to assist just six homeless young people.

Now called “You Turn youth support” the organisation assists 6000 young people through its homelessness, child safety and mental health services.

“Our founders recognised there was a need on the Sunshine Coast and in particular the Noosa region,” CEO Andrew Anderson said.

“They got funding to help with Noosa accommodation. They were genuine communityminded people who wanted to help youth in the area. There was not a lot of services like it on the coast at the time. It just grew and grew.” The organisation now has 180 workers covering the south-east regional corner of

Queensland from Caboolture to Bundaberg in the north and Toowoomba in the west and operates a national suicide program.

Mr Anderson said in a partnership with Noosa Council, including a $60,000 grant, You Turn’s laundry and shower facilities in Ernest St, Tewantin would be upgraded with new showers, washing machines and dryers.

He said the services were very important for people sleeping rough or sleeping in cars and the facilities were “in desperate need of an upgrade”.

In another partnership with Noosa Council You Turn aims to provide tiny house accommodation on a parcel of land and case management to assist young people to get their lives back on track in a project titled Big Hearts for Tiny Houses.

Mr Anderson said the organisation had been working with council for a site to locate tiny houses to be built by Coolum business Aussie Tiny Houses at a cost of $100,000 each.“We hope to raise $100,000 by Christmas for our first house,” he said.

Their third initiative involves an investment by the organisation of $400,000 raised over many years to establish transitional accom-

modation for young people in the Toowoomba area.

Mr Anderson said young people aged up to 25 years came to the organisation in need of crisis and emergency accommodation and with help progressed to transitional accommodation before continuing on to the private market.

“This continuum of care is an incredibly important step to getting them back on their feet,” he said.

Mr Anderson said it was difficult to gauge the number of young people in the region who were homeless or couch surfing.

He said Council figures estimate about 80 young people but You Turn provided about 200 people quarterly with emergency relief.

You Turn also provides mental health services from its five Headspace centres.

Through its child safety services the organisation runs a number of programs including foster and kinship care, residential care and intensive family support.

Upgraded pathways in Noosaville’s Wallace Park, a new splash slide and play zone at the Nambour Aquatic Centre and construction of a trail hub at the Sugar Bag mountain bike trail network are just some of the projects that will create jobs for the Sunshine Coast community as part of Queensland’s economic recovery plan.

Mark Denham, Labor candidate for Noosa, said these projects are great news for local jobs.

“Through this special Covid Works for Queensland round, the Palaszczuk Labor Government is investing more than $7.1 million for shovel-ready projects that not only benefit the community, but support local jobs,” said Mr Denham.

In announcing the projects, Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the positive impacts would be felt almost immediately.

“This program is specifically designed to help councils get their communities back on their feet as quickly as possible and minimise any long-term effects of the global coronavirus pandemic which is impacting economies around the world,” Mr Hinchliffe said.

“We’re continuing to manage the health response and that means we have started delivering Queensland’s plan for economic recovery.

“In total, 520 projects are being funded, which the councils tell us will support or create more than 4,600 jobs.

“It’s a fantastic outcome and will go a long way to helping Queensland unite and recover.”

Other projects for the Sunshine Coast include: Sunshine Coast Regional Council - upgrading sports facilities at Caloundra AFL and Little Athletics, Palmwoods and Yandina Cricket, Coolum Tennis, Ballinger Park, Maroochydore Multisport, Meridan Fields and Northshore Sports Complex Noosa Shire Council - refurbishing the amenities at Pomona memorial School of Arts Hall, and improving conservation through fire trail maintenance and increased beach erosion protection The program is part of the Queensland Government’s $6 billion economic recovery strategy Unite and Recover for Queensland Jobs.

Projects are required to be completed

by June 2021.

Celebrating 100 with RSL

The Tewantin School of Arts was built in 1920 and was later expanded to become the Tewantin Noosa RSL Hall and School of Arts.

Harry Jones BEM with his two sons Tony and Peter. Harry was a WWII veteran and active member of the Sub Branch serving in the capacity of President, Treasurer and Secretary for over 20 years. He passed away in 2004.

trance where the mural is located.

Both the Federal and State MPs and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart have been invited, as well as the National President and officials of the RSL will be in attendance.

Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch president Adel Amin said he was proud to be president during such a historical year.

“I’m excited to be in the chair for that significant event because I very strongly believe in the RSL and what they do for veterans,” he said.

“I’d like to see it grow and let the younger veterans know that we are here to support them.

“We need to continue the running of the league and the only way we can do that is by the modern solider giving the sub branches a fair go.”

Mr Amin said he wanted to quash the misconception of the sub branch being all about poker machines.

“I think the idea of the league starting after WWI was to maintain that comradeship with the Australia digger,” he said.

“Coming back from the field and working so closely together, they needed to continue that sort of closeness. Hence the league commenced in Australia and this particular branch started in 1920, which was an incredible thing to have in a community. Apart from the exservice men and women having a place to go

president, Mr Amin said it was all about creating a safe and secure place for veterans, particularly those suffering from PTSD. “They want to be somewhere where they feel safe,” he said.

“I know myself suffering from PTSD, there are triggers out there that actually affect my condition.

“Everyone who has got PTSD is different because what they suffered is different. But to know that I’m walking into a safe environment where I can sit down and share my feelings or thoughts, I believe that helps me and it helps a lot of others as well.”

Mr Amin said the sub branch still had 26 surviving members from World War II. “It’s an incredible feat. The eldest being 101,” he said.

“We shouldn’t wait until Anzac Day or Remembrance Day to speak with those veterans, we should take every opportunity we can.

“If we meet somebody who served, each one of us should speak with them and learn from them.

“I’m not young by any measure, I did 38 years in the Army and I’ve been to two Theatres, but if it wasn’t for the people that served before us and established that pathway to allow us to have good training, good ideology and humanity to believe in doing the right thing, we wouldn’t be where we are now.”

to and share their mateship with, I think it also really gave the community at large somewhere to be involved. It was a tool to bring both together. As the time evolved and increased numbers, we had the involvement of different organisations within the community helping.

It became an entity.”

Mr Amin said in recent times they’ve seen the RSL numbers dropping and then eventually picking back up.

“It had the flows of an organisation that was either in trend or wasn’t in trend,” he said.

“At the moment we are suffering a little bit of a downer because people think of the RSL club, not the sub branch, but the club as a pokies establishment.

“There is a distinction between the citizens club and the sub branch.

“The long-term success comes from the relationship between the two.

“The Tewantin Noosa branch have struck a great balance in terms of having a separate quiet area with the eating area and diggers bar.”

Mr Amin said they were looking at making the club a bit more accommodating for the modern return service men and women.

“What we’re doing is making sure that this remains an area that is it accommodating for the veterans to come down and have a chat, have a coffee, and share life’s experiences.”

Almost a century ago, the Tewantin Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia (RSSILA) was formed on 20 August 1920 by the late Harry Buchanan M.M and bar, Assistant State Secretary.

The RSSILA was founded by returning soldiers from the First World War with the aim of continuing to provide the camaraderie, concern, and mateship shown among Australian troops while they were at war.

The foundation officers of the Tewantin Noosa Sub Branch were President: W.J.Ross, Vice President: H.J Johns, Secretary: W.Fielding and Treasurer: H.J Fielding.

The Tewantin School of Arts was built in 1920 and was later expanded to become the Tewantin Noosa RSL Hall and School of Arts.

The floor was replaced in 1940 with timber from the Tewantin Noosa RSL Avenue and in 1967 the Memorial Hall was destroyed by fire, losing all records and memorabilia.

It was a costly occasion, with damage from the fire being estimated at $40,000.

The Sub Branch was rebuilt in 1970 on the fiftieth anniversary and has gone from strength to strength as it continues to grow today.

In 1990, the name was changed to the Returned and Services League of Australia (RSL).

This last name change reflects the fact that membership of the RSL is now open to all exservice personnel regardless of active service status.

For a hundred years the RSL has ensured that adequate care, advocacy and financial assistance is provided to past and present members of the Australian Defence Force, and remains as relevant today as it was in 1916.

A local veteran who has watched the Tewantin Noosa Sub Branch grow enormously during this time is the fifty-fourth member, Walter Torrens.

Mr Torrens said he loved every bit of being involved with the sub branch while watching it develop.

“Back in those days we had to sell chook raffles to make some money for the club,” he said.

“We had dances on Friday or Saturday nights doing ball-room dancing.

“I liked the club from the beginning, it was always really homely with the old diggers. They dug the dungeon underneath by hand to put memorabilia in.”

Mr Torrens, who now runs the local Men’s Shed, said he made many of friends through the club over the years.

“I still enjoy it and I still make friends,” he said.

“The organisation looked after us like anything.

“I’m glad to be able to be here to see the sub branch reach 100 years.”

The Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch will be celebrating this remarkable milestone through the unveiling of a mural painted by local artist Christine de Stoop who was commissioned by the RSL Sub Branch.

The unveiling will take place on Thursday 20 August at 11am outside the RSL Club en-

Service clubs, schools, kindergartens and villages have been forced by Covid-19 to put a hold on fetes and festivals, reducing funds that would normally be raised for community projects and bring visitors to the region.

King of the Mountain Festival, Spring Mountain Festival, Good Shepherd Lutheran College fair and Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten’s Under 8s day are among the events usually staged this month.

King of the Mountain spokeswoman Heather Manders said the festival would have celebrated its 42nd event this year.

Ms Manders said the Cooroy-Pomona Lions Club event usually raised almost $15,000 for various charities and brought many hundreds to Pomona.

“People come and train on the mountain and stop and have a coffee or lunch,” she said.

“It impacts everyone.”

But it’s not all bad news. Ms Manders said the forced shutdown had given volunteer or-

ganisers a rest and a chance to re-evaluate the event.

The club has been able to run other fundraising activities including a book fest and sausage sizzles at Pomona market.

Cooroy Rotary Club has had to cancel its major fundraiser, the Spring Mountain Festival, and have been unable to run its regular sausage sizzles.

Club president Carol Johnston said the club’s older group of volunteers didn’t want to be out in public running the risk of infection and they had other projects they could work on.

Good Shepherd Lutheran College fair coordinator Karen Von Homeyer said the school’s annual fair had been running for about 25 years and raised about $50,000-$60,000 a yearfor school resources.

“We put the safety and wellbeing of our students and the greater community first,” she said.

The college has events planned toward the end of the year they hope will be able to go ahead.

An Seqwater spokesman said the plans aimed to minimise construction impacts where possible.

Lake lowering at Lake Macdonald Dam is expected to commence in March 2021, subject to an assessment of water security impacts with the lake lowering expected to be completed before the end of August 2021.

Flood of mud From page 1 Noosa Parks Association president Michael Gloster said looking at the history of the region we shouldn’t be surprised the river was drowning in mud.

He said the process began in the late 1880s when timber getters and farmers cleared land causing mud to drain into the river.

In the late 1800s-1900s oyster reefs were exploited.

In the 1950s beam trawling for prawns took out most of the seagrasses.

In the 1970s Council “did Hays Island“ and “clogged up the river mouth”.

“NPA seeks a Noosa River that runs blue not brown, has increasing not decreasing prawns and fish, and is a source of shared community pride not division,“ he said.

The Thomas Foundation director Rowland Hill said “the report further confirms the biodiversity decline in the Noosa River system, making the Noosa Council’s recent endorsement of The Nature Conservancy’s management plan for the Oyster reef project even more timely“.

Noosa Councillor Tom Wegener said the strong evidence from the report would enable a move forward but discussions would be held in Council before further investments were made.

NBRF chair Rex Halverson described Noosa River as the lifeblood of the Noosa community.

“It supports us economically and has significant cultural and environmental value so it’s important we preserve it,“ he said.

“This report provides a benchmark for evaluating the results of initiatives like the oyster reef restoration and Keep it in Kin Kin sediment mitigation projects.

“It will also help to inform Noosa Council’s river management planning and monitoring into the future.“ A public information forum to discuss the results of the report will be held at a later date.

Bridge shaping up Nine concrete deck units have been installed this week, signaling the halfway mark of the Orealla Crescent Bridge construction at Sunrise Beach.

Each concrete deck unit weighs 13.5 tonnes and was prefabricated offsite at Beaudesert and transported to the construction zone by semi-trailer.

“We needed about an hour for each deck unit to be installed to ensure they were properly in place and secure,” SGQ Civil Operations Manager, Paul Biggs said.

“Once the beams are in position and secure, we put in stainless steel bolts which are grouted into position with high strength grout.”

This project is a unique, custom-designed build which aims to minimise noise vibration and associated impacts during the construction process.

The multi-million dollar replacement of Orealla Crescent Bridge is a jointly funded Noosa Council and Australian Government project which will improve safety for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Detours remain in place until early September. Motorists are encouraged to avoid David Low Way and travel via the Sunshine Motorway.

“Now, we can start delivering Queensland’s plan for economic recovery.

“We have a plan for Queensland to get people back to work by investing in infrastructure projects right across the state.

“Projects like this new police facility are ensuring there is a pipeline of jobs.

“By building these facilities, we’re keeping Queenslanders safe and creating jobs at the same time.”

Minister Ryan said construction was completed by Sunshine Coast based Badge Constructions.

“I was very pleased to see this contract go to a local firm,” he said.

“Police on the Sunshine Coast deserve state-of-the-art-facilities as they help keep Queenslanders safe.

“That’s what this Government is all about: protecting communities, supporting small businesses and creating jobs.”

Domestic violence outbreak in Noosa In the past week Noosa police responded to 19 domestic violence call outs including the arrest of a 24-year-old man charged with torture, deprivation of liberty and assault.Noosa senior sergeant Ben Carroll said police arrested a 24 year old Tewantin male on Sunday 2 August who was wanted by Toowoomba Detectives in relation to domestic violence matters. Officers from Noosa Heads, the Sunshine Coast Dog Squad and District Duty Officer executed a warrant at an address in Furness Drive, Tewantin, taking the man into custody. The man was charged with one count or torture, one count of deprivation of liberty and eight counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. He appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday 3 August.

Police were called to another 18 reports of domestic and family violence over the last week including nine incidents of breach of domestic and family violence orders. Investigations are ongoing.

Noosa police were also kept busy over the weekend patrolling Noosa North Shore in response to a large swell of people and vehicles travelling to Teewah Beach and through to Double Island Point.

Police conducted speed enforcement and random breath testing. A 48 year old Noosaville woman was issued a notice to appear for drink driving. A 19-year-old Buderim male was caught by police doing circle work on the open beach. He was issued multiple infringement notices and a search of his vehicle further located dangerous drugs to which he is now undergoing a drug diversion.

Police said drivers were complying with speed limits through the camping area and all had the correct permits and vehicle passes.

Shots fired Sunshine Coast detectives have charged a man following investigations into an alleged shooting incident in Buddina last week.

Around 8.20pm on Friday, July 24 it will be alleged three men and a woman attended an address on Lowana Drive and confronted two men.

It will be alleged the three men and a woman arrived in a red sedan, after a verbal altercation took place one of the men produced a firearm and discharged it toward one of the occupants who received a minor injury.

A second man from the vehicle produced a further firearm believed to be a shot gun and fired the weapon towards the address and occupants where a 48-year-old Moffat Beach man received numerous pellet wounds.

The vehicle then left the address.

A 48-year-old Moffat Beach man taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital as a result of his injuries is recovering after since being discharged. A 36-year-old Buddina man did not require any medical attention.

The Hyundai sedan, alleged to have been seen leaving the address, was located in the carpark of a Brisbane shopping centre yesterday.

A 33-year-old Thornlands man was arrested yesterday and charged with acts intended to maim, acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning bodily harm, dangerous conduct with a weapon, possession of firearms, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of utensils.

He is expected to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court today.

New ministers welcomed

By Rose Astley

Region to welcome Chris and Lynda Johnson as new members to the Anglican Church of Noosa.

Archbishop of Southern Queensland, the Reverend Dr Phillip Aspinall, has appointed the Reverend Chris Johnson as Rector of the Anglican parish of Noosa, effective July 1.

The Archbishop has also appointed Chris’s wife, the Reverend Lynda Johnson as Associate Minister.

Chris and Lynda have worked together in ministry for many years and bring many complimentary skills and talents.

Chris was the Rector of North Pine, a northern Brisbane Parish for 22 years, while Lynda was the Associate Minister for most of that time.

“We are both very much looking forward to taking up the leadership of Noosa Anglican Church.

“Most recently we have been in the northern part of the Gold Coast responsible for setting up a new church at Ormeau/Pimpama as well as leading two of the churches in that Parish,” Rev’d C. Johnson said.

Both Chris and Lynda are passionate about authentic ministry, preaching the Bible, introducing people to Jesus Christ and equipping people to pursue their ministry passions.

Chris and Lynda did their initial training at Ridley College in Melbourne, they both hold, and have held, senior positions in the Anglican

Church and are well respected clergy in the Southern Queensland Diocese.

“We are very much looking forward to coming to Noosa and discovering all the treasures that this district has to offer.

“We have holidayed in Noosa on many occasions but now we are looking forward to becoming part of a great community that is already putting out the welcome mat in so many ways.

“As well as finding our place in the Faith community we also want to work out how we can serve the wider Noosa community and see how the love of God might make a difference,” Rev’d C. Johnson said.

Savvy students shine bright at holiday tech bootcamp

By Abbey Cannan The eyes of two Good Shepherd Lutheran College students are well and truly focused on the future after attending a five day Artificial Intelligence (AI) Programming Bootcamp at the Peregian Digital Hub during the recent school holidays.

Year 10 and 11 students Rueben Meyer and Veslemoy Berge-Venter, two of the 22 leading high school mathematicians on the Sunshine Coast, earned themselves a place in an AI Cadetship.

“Reuben Meyer and Veslemoy Berge-Venter acquitted themselves extremely well and were a credit to Good Shepherd,” Peregian Digital Hub director, Chris Boden said.

“We were thrilled to see how they took to the university-level Computer Science concepts covered and ended up helping each other and their peers as the course went on.”This Cadetship will give Rueben and Veslemoy the chance to develop skills within programming

and machine learning, as well as how to create an artificial intelligence agent using Deep Reinforcement Learning.

They will also have the opportunity to start building their own professional portfolios with project completions.

Career Counsellor at Good Shepherd, Mrs Natasha Purcell said, “It is so important in the changing world of work for students to take up opportunities to develop their skill sets within real world problem-based learning tasks alongside professionals in their field”.

With Programming Machine Learning algorithms being the most sought after skill right now, it is anticipated that they will go on to make their mark in one of the many important fields including robotics, medical research, automation, predictive data analytics and selfdriving cars.

PHIL JARRATT meets another of Noosa’s living legends.

Bloke who decked Brando Quick pub quiz. How many blokes do you know who can not only claim to have met the legendary film star Marlon Brando but to have punched his lights out soon after?

Okay, what about this one - how many blokes do you know who have bought the Noosa post office for $75? Or this - how many blokes do you know who scored a spectacular winning mark at the only Aussie Rules game ever played at the Olympic Games?

Well, unassuming Sunrise Beach retiree Ray Pettigrove did all of these, he’s got the photo albums to prove it and his story has many more unbelievable but true chapters.

Keen readers might remember that a few weeks back we met Noosa cartoonist Graham “Knuckles” Wall, who was once a member of the notorious Boot Hill Gang in Torquay, Victoria. As I concluded my interview with Knuckles I remarked that the Boot Hill lads had remarkable stories. “You should talk to my golfing mate and former Boot Hill member ‘Darkie’ Pettigrove,” Knuckles said. I asked why. “Because he punched out Marlon Brando and ran off with his beautiful Tahitian mistress.”

That wasn’t exactly what happened, but he had me at hello. I sought Ray out, and in the week that Coon cheese was retired, my first question was: “Why do they call you Darkie?”

Ray laughed. “Because I always kept my secrets to myself, particularly in regards to young ladies. I’d keep my mates in the dark. I was discreet about stuff like that.” So we retired that name too, and got on with the Ray Pettigrove story.

Born in Coburg, Melbourne in 1936, Ray started taking family holidays at Torquay, his mother’s birthplace, as soon as the war was over, camping just across the sand from where volunteers were building the first Torquay surf club on the foundations of the wartime gun emplacements. When they were teenagers Ray’s older brother became sweep of the allconquering Torquay boat crew and together they helped the club to five Victorian titles.

Winter was all about footie, and Ray had talent, playing a couple of seasons with Carlton.

When the Olympic Games were held in Melbourne in 1956, he was selected to play for the amateurs versus the pros in a demonstration match at the MCG when his desperate lunge for the line beat St Kilda ruckman Brian Walsh and won the match for the amateurs. “They never forgave us,” Ray chuckles.

But football had to take a back seat when Ray finished his apprenticeship as an electrician and started his own contracting business.

He soon had a successful operation and a retail store run by Mum where they sold the first television sets. Lots of them. Then Ray sold for a tidy profit and took off with his mate Nick to follow a dream.

He and Nick booked passage on a French cargo boat bound for Tahiti, stopping at gloriously-isolated islands and atolls to pick up copra for the capitol, and arriving in Papeete just in time for both to get work as extras on the film Mutiny On The Bounty, starring Marlon Brando as the troubled Fletcher Christian.

The notoriously difficult actor was apparently in character all the time, making a serial pest of himself jumping through plate glass windows at parties while chasing his beautiful Tahitian co-stars.

One evening while both were dining at separate tables in a restaurant, Ray looked over to see an impossibly beautiful Tahitian girl draping herself over Nick. She was on the run from an angry Brando and within days she had moved in with Nick at the cottage on the edge of town the Aussie lads were renting. Ray had been spearfishing with some locals and stopped at the pub on the way home, so he was fearless when he arrived home to find Brando revving his motor bike out front and hurling abuse at the frightened girl who was cowering inside.

“I told him to bugger off,” Ray recalls, “And he came towards me threateningly, so I snotted him good and hard, he fell over his bike and it landed on him. He picked himself up and roared off into the night and never came back.”

Ray had his own Tahitian love affair, resulting in a daughter he remains close to, but the high seas beckoned, and, working first as a cook, then crewing as a sailor, Ray spent 14 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 August, 2020

Ray Pettigrove at home. the next couple of years sailing the world and visiting exotic ports, eventually washing up in Sausalito, California, where he sold yachts and met his first wife, Frieda. After a honeymoon touring the Outback, they settled in Torquay for a while, and began to hear stories about a magical place up north called Noosa Heads.

Says Ray: “My old Boot Hill mate Mumbles Walker came back and said he’d just bought a motel there and the place was sensational, so I built a camping body on the tray of the ute and we took off.” Ray fell in love with the town instantly, and land was cheap so he bought two blocks at Sunshine Beach for $500 each.

Some time later he noticed an ad in a real estate window for a house available for removal.

He made enquiries and found it was the Noosa Heads post office across the street. It was listed for $1200 but the agent said he’d take $75 cash if Ray could move the place in a hurry.

The post office was moved to one of the Sunshine Beach blocks and Ray and Frieda built a modern beach house around the historic core.

It’s still there today, a brightly-painted backpackers at the corner of Duke and Douglas.

Although the adventures continued, including two divorces, another successful boatbroking stint in California and plenty of exotic travel, Noosa remained home base. With second wife the “Polish Princess”, Ray opened La Petite Bistro on Hastings Street, sold real estate to high flyers from Sydney and Melbourne (“One Sydney bookmaker bought three places from me in one week, using a different name for each,” he recalls. “Noosa was a good place to hide money in those days.”) and managed Netanya Noosa for six years in its early days.

These days the 84-year-old is loving the retired lifestyle with partner Gayna, playing golf a couple of times a week, working out in his home gym and fishing off his boat with family and friends. The sporting genes run strongly through the generations. Son Max was a champion ironman who remains a surf club stalwart, while grandson Maverick is a star with the Noosa Tigers.

“Why would you live anywhere else?” asks Ray, putting away the scrapbooks of his amazing life and heading out for a session on his backyard putting green.

Call for a ‘Bill of Rights’ A prominent Queensland lawyer has called on Australians to put an end to the dismaying title of being the only liberal democracy in the world without a Bill of Rights.

Leading compensation lawyer and Principal of Travis Schultz & Partners, Travis Schultz, said the Covid-19 crisis has shone a spotlight on the tremendous civil rights breach that leaves Australia without a legislated decree (an official order that has the force of law) on our daily rights and liberties.

“Every day we are witnessing a new example of the ensuing behaviour that is generated by the placeholder where a Bill of Rights should be: a vocal university student involved in an apparently offensive protest, a “sovereigntist” wreaking havoc without a mask in a Melbourne Bunnings store or even a self-proclaimed billionaire lodging a High Court challenge to a state’s entitlement to close its own borders,” Mr Schultz said.

“Now is the time to fill this gap and end the confusion. A quality debate on what should be included in our own Bill of Rights needs to start now.”

Mr Schultz said there is a common misconception that Australians are protected by an existing legislated Bill of Rights, when in actuality the Australian Constitution expressly recognises only five rights: 1. The right to vote 2. The right to trial by jury 3. The right to freedom of religion 4. A prohibition on discrimination on the basis of state of residency; and 5. Protection against compulsory acquisition of land by government on anything other than just terms.

He said this leaves many other rights to the vagaries of common law.

“Separate Commonwealth and State legislation also prohibits discrimination in various forms including age, disability, sex, pregnancy, marital status, gender identity or sexual orientation. But the big issues such as a right to freedom of speech, a right to comment on political matters and a right to associate with others are seemingly left to the opacity of inference and interpretation by judges and tribunals.

“We accept that travel restrictions might be a prudent health response to a virulent contagion but we overlook the Constitutional consequences of denying access to residents of a particular state,” Mr Schultz said.

“In “normal” times, we tend to accept the right of anti-vaxers to their dangerous minority opinion but in the face of a Covid-19 tsunami, are Australians as tolerant of their personal proclivities standing in the way of the safety of herd immunity? And should we all enjoy a right to freedom of movement if it risks transmission of a virus to the vulnerable members of our community?

“Australians have long pontificated to the world on issues like human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law; and we are quick to espouse our values around respect, freedom, equality and fairness,” Mr Schultz said.

“We declare black lives matter, that sexual harassment and vilification should never be tolerated and that victims of abuse must feel able to speak up and know that they will be supported.

“We insist that we are inclusive, that all citizens must be treated equally and that their individual religious beliefs, sexuality and political alignment must be respected. We are quick

to censure, lecture and scold other countries who behave inconsistently with the values that we hold dear, yet we remain in 2020 the only liberal democracy in the world that doesn’t protect its citizens with a Bill of Rights!

Independent Federal MP Andrew Wilkie spearheaded the last attempt to bring the lack of a Bill of Rights to the fore in 2017.

But Mr Schultz said without the backdrop of a global pandemic crisis threatening the very rights the document would protect - his introduction of the Australian Bill of Rights into Parliament failed to garner support.

“It is now that we need to bring about serious debate on this issue. If the Covid-19 crisis has brought one thing to my attention - it’s that there needs to be limits placed on the freedoms that we enjoy,” Mr Schultz said.

“Australia is known as a land of wide open spaces, but this is one gap that needs closing.

“If King John and his quarrelsome barons could muster the courage to agree on the terms of the Magna Carta in 1215, surely our modern day politicians are capable of leading a discussion about entrenching a Bill of Rights in the Constitution or at least debating and passing a national Human Rights Act? “I’m calling on our leaders to stop putting off the uncomfortable discussion and actually engage in dialogue about the need for an Australian Bill of Rights!”

Jackie Richards grew up on the outskirts of London and husband Geoff, a former plasterer from Sydney, got into horse breeding pretty much by accident. Now they are loving life - and their horses - at the magnificent Cooroora Arabian horse stud at Cooran, as ERLE LEVEY discovered.

A home among the horses People don’t understand the affection, the interaction.

They just want to be with you.

Standing with Jackie Richards and husband Geoff, overlooking their Cooroora Arabian horse stud at Cooran, you cannot help but feel the love and emotion they have for their animals.

Foals and young colts gambol in the closest paddock. A couple of mares rest in the paddock below that while the beautiful bay stallion Cooroora Aheyme grazes down by the creek.

He is a magnificent sight. Regal. His light colouring contrasting against the green of the paddock and the trees along the water course.

Having a creek run through the middle of the 14.5acre property is wonderful, Jackie tells me.

“There’s water if we need it and good shade for the horses.

“It’s a lovely property. So tranquil.

“A beautiful place to live, and it’s lovely for the horses. They relax here.

“It’s very important when standing a stallion at stud that the mares can relax.’’

The family’s journey into horse breeding was virtually by accident.

Jackie grew up in the outskirts of London while Geoff is from Paddington in Sydney.

A plasterer, he has worked on everything from Hyde Park Barracks to the Poets Cafe at Montville.

Jackie moved to Australia with her family when she was 10, and initially lived on outskirts of Sydney.

“I had no connection with horses at that stage. But my sister Barbara married a boy from Cooroy.

“That gave us the Noosa connection. We came to visit her and saw what a beautiful place it is up here.

“My parents had moved up by that time, so we started thinking of coming to live.’’

Geoff’s initial thoughts about moving were the issues that come with suburban living.

Jackie’s parents had a small property at Kin Kin. Her dad Bernie was an electrician, so he was helping fix everything from fridges to airconditioners.

Her mother Carmen was an acrobatic dancer and did a Royal Command Performance at London’s Palladium Theatre.

“We came up and Geoff said we will get some land, some horses for the girls. We have three daughters - Samantha, Lisa and Jenny.

“We started off, like a lot of people do with the girls going to pony club. That was when we were in Pomona.

“Bullock team driver Bill Hollis divined the water for us.

“For years then we were involved with pony

“We were on the first committee of The Great Kin Kin Horse Race.

“We turned up at the pub car park on the day of the event.

“There was a cattle truck with a magnificent bay stallion. It was an Arabian as it turned out.

“He was glittering in the sun. Massive black mane and forelock.

“He flicked it and both of us were both mesmerised by the sight of the horse. He was just stunning.

“We made it our business to find out who he was.

“That got us involved in breeding and our connection with Arabians.

“We wanted a foal from him. He was glorious.’’

Geoff said they already had a mare and a gelding for the girls.

“We found the owner John Kuhn and he told us it was a pure Crabbit stallion. It’s a type ... Crabbit Arabians are any horse that’s been through Lady Anne and Wilfred Blunt’s stud

Crabbit, in Sussex.

“That suddenly had us interested in breeding a foal.

“Coming from town we never thought of having horses. Yet moving to the country enabled this way of thinking.’’

Jackie and Geoff bred a mare, part Haflinger - a European bred horse from Austria palomino in colour.

This one had a chestnut coat, flaxen tail and mane. Jarl was the bay stallion.

“That got us started,’’ Jackie said. “We got a lovely filly from that cross. That was in 1987.

“Cooroora Aheyme is also from a Crabbit stallion by the name of Prince Rasheyde.

“As we had started breeding, the 3.5 acres was too small.

“We needed more land, and found this beautiful property. We wanted to stay in the region as it’s wonderful place to live.

“It’s ideal. Access to water. The Mary River pipeline goes to Lake Macdonald, it’s all hooked up.

“Geoff split it up into about nine paddocks with electric fencing mainly. It’s wonderful.’’

Every paddock has automatic watering.

Some paddocks have shelters while the stables feature six stalls and a wash bay with hot water.

Mare care is Jackie’s main concern.

“The most important thing is their mental security,’’ she tells me as we inspect the stables.

“As the property so beautifully situated, they just do.

“They won’t come into season if they’re all stressed.

“When they come here the mare is measured. We want her gaining weight when they come to stud. Not change their diet.

“We measure them every couple of days to make sure they are steady or gaining weight.

That indicates they are fertile.’’

Jackie is quite up front about her love for horses.

“It’s my passion.

“Grooming a horse, you learn so much about them. And they learn so much about you.

“You can establish so much trust just by having them here at the hitching rail.

“We spend so much time down here at the stables.

“There are sprinklers on the roof to cool the horses in summer. It was the plumber’s suggestion. That’s really nice.

“We bred a mare to Jarl. Golden Joy ... we called her Josie.

“She grew up and we bred her to another of John’s stallions, Shalaz, who produced a beautiful colt.

“That got the stud up. We bought a purebred mare from John.

“He has a stud at Kin Kin and beautiful horses.’’

Jackie and Geoff moved to Cooran in 2004.

Cooroora Aheyme was six years old by then and getting a lot of interest as they were showing him at agricultural shows from Toowoomba to Bundaberg.

“And he would win,’’ Jackie said. “We were pleasantly surprised at how the judges impressed by him.

“We had no intention of standing him at stud. It was just another horse for the girls.

“Funny things happen. We kept booking him in to be gelded … about six times. But for one reason or another the vet couldn’t get here to give him the snip.

“Knowledgeable people said not to geld him.

“He was a big, tall, gangly colt. We didn’t think people would be interested ... but the judges didn’t see him that way and kept putting him above these mature champion stallions.

“That’s how it’s been all his life.’’

Their daughter Jenny Bidner is the rider and shows him. In hand and under saddle.

That comes from all those years of pony club, hacking and dressage. She started at age three.

While in pony club they took them to an endurance ride as part of the certificate, Jackie said. “We thought it was a beautiful sport. And that got us interested in it.

“That has taken us down a whole new path.

Every foal by Aheyme we have shown has gone onto be champion.

“Which is probably quite extraordinary. He would win his class and then win grand champion. It’s happened with his young stock as well.’’

The first endurance riding event the family went to was the 1988 Tom Quilty Gold Cup at Kenilworth.

Quality meat and small goods @ the right price “Bruce Overton was in it,’’ Jackie said. “He sold us a beautiful gelding. Chadwick Kaleidoscope ... we did everything with him.

“We have been getting so many good experiences with these Arabians with our daughters riding them.

“The (endurance) sport just fascinated me.

“I love the way the horse goes before the vet to check for any source of stress. It’s a very kind sport.

“You have to get the horse prepared so they’re fit to do these distance events.

“These can vary from 20km to 40km and 80km, right up to the Shahzada which is 400km over four-five days.

“Arabians have proven very adept at endurance ... they have slow twitch muscles as against the thoroughbred which means they have a genetic ability to go on distance rides.’’

What attracts people to Aheyme is the breeding that give him and his young stock a beautiful temperament.

“He is very laid back and relaxed,’’ Jackie said. “It’s very important in that people want that temperament in an endurance horse.

“The low resting heart rate as well.

“Once they started seeing he was producing his likeness in his progeny they wanted to breed their mares to him.

“He is prepotent ... the ability for the dominant gene to hang on to his characteristics.

“He is extraordinarily tall. People like that.

Australians are generally taller.

“He reliably hands that onto the foals.’’

Aheyme’s progeny mainly are in Queensland but also in Canberra and Victoria.

One a gelding is current Victorian points and distance champion.

Yet mainly his progeny stand out in endurance events.

There have been many wins in rides as well as best condition awards, and placings in many big rides.

“And to think it was all by accident. We didn’t set out to breed this magnificent horse.

“It’s just been a blessing.’’

All for the love of horses For centuries, animals have been used to assist humans overcome all sorts of difficulties. At Hoofbeats, horses and humans come together to heal each other after experiences of trauma, abuse and neglect.

Hoofbeats Sanctuary was established in 2019 to bring together vulnerable children, youth and adults who are dealing with the mental health challenges that result from trauma, abuse or neglect to rehabilitate horses who have also experienced trauma, abuse and neglect themselves.

“Our programs are built around 12 attributes which are key to horses and humans setting themselves on a pathway to a positive future,” Hoofbeats founder Barb Blashki said.

“These attributes are gratitude, optimism, resilience, empathy, mindfulness, acceptance, responsibility, kindness, awareness, bravery, liberty and empowerment.”

The healing power of animals for the most

vulnerable members of our community cannot be underestimated, especially when those animals are recovering from trauma themselves.

On Sunday 9 August, Hoofbeats is having their first fundraising event of the year. The Mega Sale includes stock donated in support of the sanctuary including DECJUBA clothing, footwear and accessories for both kids and adults, box sets of books, colouring books and pencil sets, Lego, homewares, toiletries and makeup.

“We will ensure everyone is adhering to social distancing and we will have hand sanitiser on every stall.”

There will also be a sausage sizzle and cake stall run by Hoofbeat’s dedicated volunteers.

“Come down on Sunday between 10am and 3pm and grab yourself a bargain while supporting a great cause! Hoofbeats Sanctuary, 26 Fellowship Drive, Doonan,” Barb said.

Migrants in jobs squeeze

By Margaret Maccoll Migrant workers have found job losses and visa changes caused by Covid-19 have left them in a limbo in which heading home may be for some their best option.

Migration specialist Owen Small said his clientele had changed enormously since Covid-19.

Instead of dealing with foreign nationals applying from their home countries for visas to work and study in Australia he is being contacted by foreign students wanting to remain in the country, long term visa holders wanting permanent residency and Austalians with foreign partners wanting to come home.

Mr Small said many New Zealanders had contacted him recently to apply for permanent residency.

Some had been living in Australia for 10 years working and paying taxes but unable under their visas to receive any benefits such as Job seeker, though they are able to obtain health care through reciprocal health care rights between the Australia and New Zealand, he said. “Covid-19 has given them that push to make the application,” he said.

Mr Small has been contacted by students and backpackers working on employer-sponsored visas who have lost jobs due to Covid-19 and are looking at visa options to stay.

(BSMQ) is the state nominating body for the Queensland Government and a business unit of Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ).

In partnership with the Department of Home Affairs, BSMQ nominates successful skilled and business applicants wanting to establish themselves in Queensland.

BSMQ works on a quota system allocated by the Department of Home Affairs. The quota in Queensland ran out last December and BSMQ has advised both its skilled workers and business programs are closed. It is not accepting applications and gives no indication of reopening.

Delays set ease on Hilton Tce Traffic delays on Hilton Terrace should soon be over with asphalt works on track for completion this week.

Project Coordinator Cody Johnston said Council appreciated motorists’ patience while work was under way.

Complicated sections of asphalt work were done at night on Wednesday and Thursday last week, but some work had to be done during the day.

“Night works are significantly more costly for ratepayers, and the noise heavily impacts surrounding residents when the work continues all through the night,” he said.

“Hilton Terrace residents have been incredibly patient during the past few months while work has been happening right outside their homes.”

“This week and next week, contractors will be finalising new traffic islands and linemarking, planting street trees and laying turf.

“Our contractors worked as fast as they could to lay asphalt the full length of Hilton Terrace between the roundabout and the bowls club on Tuesday.

“The contractors put in a massive effort Tuesday and Wednesday to complete the asphalt between the roundabout and the bridge.”

The $3M Hilton Terrace upgrade project includes new on-road cycle lanes, construction of a roundabout at the Ernest Street intersection, and completion of the shared path from Noosa Lakes Resort to Tait Duke Community Cottage.

“We have people on a list asking for visas,” he said. “We are all in the dark. We can’t advise clients.

“As harsh as it is they lost their job. The reason for the visa no longer exists. They should go home wherever possible,” he said.

International students wanting to go to uni don’t get HECs or help and have to pay all fees upfront but many rely on being able to work 40 hours a fortnight to pay day-to-day expenses.

Some have come to the end of their student visas. Some have contacted Mr Small wanting to apply for alternate visas or permanent residency. There are at least six pathways to permanent residency, he said. Some are not eligible.

Mr Small said a number of Australians who have lived overseas for 10 to 15 years and married foreign nationals have contacted him wanting to return home and bring their spouses. He said it takes about 12-15 months to obtain a partner visa when applying from another country and about two years onshore but many couples have opted to come to Australia with the partner of the Australian citizen on a tourist visa and apply after their arrival.

“A lot of people have already come home,” he said.

Eumundi pathway steps up Eumundi’s littlest locals and keen market visitors will be able to take a step in the right direction towards free play and supporting homegrown businesses thanks to an upgraded Council pathway in the heart of the town.

Division 10 Councillor David Law said the $10,000 path upgrade at Lonergan Lane included a new coloured concrete pathway plus minor landscaping works that everyone in the community could now enjoy.

“We are pleased to deliver this upgrade that will benefit marketgoers and stallholders,” Cr Law said.

“I’m really pleased to see the markets have reopened which is great for the local economy.

“On non-market days, children and their parents can also utilise this safe laneway to access the popular Dick Caplick Park playground.

“This pathway was upgraded when the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) caused the temporary closure of the markets.

“I hope these works inspire nearby residents to make use of local pathways and daily exercise without the reliance on personal car transport, which contributes to achieving our vision of being Australia’s most sustainable region, healthy, smart, creative.”

Eumundi Chamber of Commerce Treasurer John Stone said visitors now wouldn’t have to contend with stormwater or mud on the pathway when it rained in the area. “[These works] have made such a difference to the amenity and usability of this area,” Mr Stone said.

The project was funded under council’s capital works program.

More in need: Dignity drive helping women in poverty

By Abbey Cannan This August, Woolworths Coolum, Noosa, Noosaville and Tewantin and Share the Dignity are partnering in a Dignity Drive that will provide essential support to the growing number of Queensland women experiencing period poverty as a result of Covid-19.

The economic and financial impacts of Covid-19 has meant that even more women are having to make the choice between buying food or sanitary items, with Share the Dignity reporting a 54 per cent increase in the number of charities registering for the August Dignity Drive, when compared to the previous Drive held earlier this year.

Woolworths customers across Queensland donated over 10,900 sanitary products towards the March Dignity Drive. These prod-

ucts were then distributed to girls and women who cannot afford to buy sanitary items.

The August Dignity Drive will run across all Woolworths Supermarkets and Metro stores nationally, giving customers the opportunity to donate sanitary items via collection boxes in store.

Woolworths will also donate five cents from the sale of pads, tampons and liners in August to Share the Dignity, to help the charity fund more Dignity vending machines that dispense free sanitary items to women experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or facing difficult circumstances.

Tamara McMaster, Volunteer State Leader Queensland, said, “Covid-19 continues to have a profound impact on communities across Australia and it’s so important that we come together to help those in need during

these difficult times.”

“Through no fault of their own, more women and girls in Noosa are not going to be able to afford basic essentials and will have to resort to toilet paper, socks or washers to deal with their period.

“Together with Woolworths Coolum, Noosa, Noosaville and Tewantin, we’re calling on the local community to support our August Dignity Drive by purchasing their sanitary items at Woolworths or donating what products they can to our collection boxes. Each donation is so valuable to us and will go towards supporting the lives of women across the state.”

Dean Hodgkinson, Woolworths Coolum, Noosa, Noosaville and Tewantin, Operations Manager, said, “At a time when community support and kindness is more important

than ever, we are incredibly proud to be partnering with Share the Dignity for the August Dignity Drive.”

“We’re always amazed by the generosity of our customers and the support they show for our Dignity Drives.

“It’s this small act of kindness that goes such a long way in supporting vulnerable girls and women across Noosa.”

Woolworths has partnered with Share the Dignity since early 2019 and, in partnership with its customers, has raised more than $1.3 million for the charity. The funds raised to date are being used to install 80 Dignity vending machines across Australia.

The Dignity Drive held in March collected over 43,000 sanitary items for women in need across Australia.

Emma and Sarah Hayes with Meagan Kellert.

Twins’ taste of success Identical twin sisters with USC Nutrition and Dietetics degrees are working to boost the power performances of Sunshine Coast Lightning players this season.

Emma and Sarah Hayes are celebrating the growing success of their business, Deliciously Clean Eats, which provides catering for the Coast’s Super Netball team.

The 27-year-olds from Currimundi, who graduated from USC in 2016, started the business with entrepreneur and recipe book author Meagan Kellert in 2017 after the trio chatted at a gym about their desire to promote healthy eating for people of all ages and fitness levels.

The business now includes a dietitian-led, pre-packaged meals service covering the Sunshine Coast and northern Brisbane, a cafe at Kawana Sports Hub, and corporate catering

contracts ranging from a hospital and a council to a multinational company.

“The idea was to create good food that overcomes the stigma that healthy food tastes bad,” Emma said.

“We wanted to make it easy for people to access that food, then educate them about portion sizes and meal ideas.

“We had done some catering early on for Lightning players, while they were travelling, and started as regular suppliers on game day at USC Stadium in 2019.”

She said canapes and grazing boards were served to teams and corporate clients.

And the players’ favourites? “I’d say our Mexican feast and signature brownies.”

Sarah, who previously worked for a clinic specialising in aged care and chronic disease,

said there was a big demand for convenient, nutritious food for people “on the go”.

“We want to show people they can achieve balance and live a healthy lifestyle without meals being boring,” she said.

The sisters said the learning curve in running a small business was exciting and challenging.

“There is so much that goes on that no-one sees - rostering, ordering packaging and linen, meetings, transporting food, licensing and checking food standards,” Emma said.

“We problem-solve a lot. You just need to get things done. It’s a hard slog but passion is the key to creating the dream.”

They have drawn on knowledge gained during their USC degrees, such as adapting meals to suit dietary requirements, developing

menus to suit different populations, and advising customers about basic nutrition.

They said they enjoyed studying together on campus at Sippy Downs after enrolling in 2012.

“From a young age, we both loved being active and cooking,” Emma said.

“After travelling America together in our gap year and seeing families rely on takeaway food, our interest in promoting healthy eating habits grew.

“After we graduated from Caloundra State High School, we started studying nutrition and sport exercise science at a uni in Brisbane but decided the lifestyle wasn’t for us.

“We were more interested in the nutrition science, so we moved back to the Coast and enrolled in the USC degree.”

Design for the win Next In Fashion, Netflix It was host Tan France (Queer Eye) that drew me into this one but it was the designers and the designs that made me keep watching bingeing - to the end.

Next In Fashion is a high-stakes competition featuring some of the world’s better and quietly innovative designers - competing to go to the next level and possibly become the next really big name in fashion.

While Tan and his co-host Alex Chung keep things chugging along - as with all these shows it’s the cast that lift it.

This time around it’s 18 designers (mainly from the UK and US but with Canadians, Italians, Chinese and Korean innovators too) facing challenges centering on a different trend or style. And yes, we’ve seen that before but the fact that most of the designers already had labels and were successful to some degree means the things they are creating were always good right from the start.

This wasn’t your usual car crash television but a genuine journey of discovery with people enjoying their creative process and feeding off those around them.

Through most of the show the designers work in pairs - working off each other to produce two outfits each challenge until the final eight are left and it becomes an individual competition.

And while it’s often easy to see who is destined to be in the finals right from the first show, it wasn’t obvious here.

The two finalists had much more flamboyant partners and quietly toil away through the early rounds only to really come into their own in the final three episodes.

And their journey makes you want to watch again to see why you didn’t realise how amazing they were earlier.

Exploring life of a legend Brabham, Stan (from 7 August)

Ashton and Marco.

Angel and Minju contestants on Next In Fashion.

Hosts Tan and Alexa with contestant Daniel.

Motorsport seems to be the flavour of the month with documentary makers - just weeks after the release of the movie on Bathurst tintopped hero Peter Brock, comes Brabham.

Beyond just telling the story the legendary Jack Brabham - the boy from Hurstville who became the first Australian to win Formula One - this looks at how achieved that against the odds but also at what has become a racing dynasty.

Brabham tells the David and Goliath tale of a homegrown hero taking on and beating the big names - Ferrari, Lotus and Maserati. A legend in this country, Jack Brabham - who died on the Gold Coast in 2014 - is still the only person to have won the F1 Drivers and Constructor’s Championship in his own car.

However becoming larger than life comes at a price - he still casts a long shadow over Australian racing with everyone from Alan Jones to Daniel Riccardo still facing comparisons to the great man.

But imagine being his son or grandson?

This documentary looks at how he did what he did but also the fame and the cost.

At the strain between Jack and his youngest son David - trying to make it in racing on his own terms and explores the challenges of family legacy and the determination to see the Brabham name reborn.

The documentary features interviews with Sir Jackie Stewart, Sir Stirling Moss, Bernie Ecclestone, David Brabham and Mark Webber.

Brabham is directed by Akos Armont (Aurora Films) who also co-wrote both the film and Harpers Collins companion book Brabham: The Untold story of Formula One along with renowned motoring author, Tony Davis.

Devastating Hiroshima history revisited Hunt is on

As we live in one of those moments now - it is interesting to look back on another moment that changed the world - for everyone and maybe for me personally.

Hiroshima: 75 Years Later explores the 75 anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb which, arguably ended World War II, sparked the Cold War and the rise of nuclear power.

For me personally it may have ended the life, prematurely, of one of my greatest heroes - my dad - who was part of the occupation force which went into Japan very shortly after the bombs were dropped.

He kept pictures and postcards from that time.

This documentary features recently declassified US and Japanese colour archival footage and audio from survivors, scientists and the military never-before-seen on television - this revealing two-hour film recounts one of the most shocking and sobering moments in international wartime history, from the making of the bombs to the horrifying devastation that it caused in Hiroshima and then Nagasaki.

Resembling a politically-charged riff on The Most Dangerous Game, The Hunt is a taut, darkly-hilarious horror-thriller about a group of conservatives abducted for a literal manhunt in the woods.

The Hunt effectively satirises the present political divide by exaggerating both camps, with the liberal hunters and conservative prey each embodying broad stereotypes. The dialogue and performances are goofy without being overbearing, and Betty Gilpin anchors the film as Crystal, a focused straight-woman more concerned with survival than rants or crackpot theories.

The film is very well-paced: after the carnage-filled opening, the plot steadily reveals the depth of the “Manorgate” hunt conspiracy, and Crystal’s desire to fight back and confront its leader is a crystal-clear driving goal (pun intended). Crystal is introduced abruptly and feels out-of-place as a calm, distinctly moderate voice, but this impression is vindicated by a clever twist in the climax.

The action sequences are brutal, superblycomposed and full of grisly slapstick. The film ultimately explores false narratives in social media, and has a flashback just before the final act that introduces the main villain and shows the hunters’ research and preparations.

While well-acted, this detour robs some of the impact from Crystal and the villain’s otherwise gnarly final clash.

The Hunt is a tense, thrilling action film and an amusing even-handed satire, and is available on DVD and iTunes.

They now call Noosa home Noosa welcomed 22 new citizens on Tuesday from the UK, Ireland, Trinidad and Tobago, Czech Republic, Sweden. Zimbabwe and Portugal, France and Netherlands.

Mayor Clare Stewart presided over the ceremonies held as three separate occasions under Covid-safe conditions at Council’s Tewantin Administration Building.

Cr Stewart said it was a privilege to be part of such an important moment for these residents.

“It’s such a pleasure to be part of their pledge to become new Australians,” she said.

Among the new citizens were Brian Walsh and his family who had moved to Sydney about eight years ago before deciding three years ago to call Noosa home.“It’s special to have the entire family take its pledge to become Australian citizens as it’s something we have been working towards for several years,” Mr Walsh said.

“We are going to celebrate with a nice lunch at the Marina.””

The Walsh family.

Coast put at risk Queensland’s latest case of Covid-19, a man in his 20s, flew on a Jetstar flight from Sydney to Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast while infectious, sparking a public health alert for fellow passengers.

The man returned from overseas and was allowed to then board the domestic flight because he (said he was) a consulate staffer.

The man, who had followed all of the required procedures, tested positive while in quarantine on the Sunshine Coast.

Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said Queensland Health contact tracers were notifying passengers who were also aboard Jetstar flight JQ790 on Friday, 31 July.

The man, who had followed all of the required procedures, tested positive while in quarantine on the Sunshine Coast.

He planned to drive to his home in Toowoomba to self-quarantine for 14 days why fly to the Sunshine Coast?

How many people on the Sunshine Coast will be infected as a result of this legal loophole? Many aged persons in the high risk category live on the Sunshine Coast.

Judging by the visible lack of social distancing, wearing masks, gloves, low numbers of Covid-19 infections on the Sunshine Coast, as community members, we were feeling that our area was relatively safe from this virus, and were very thankful for that.

No more!

How can we feel safe if this is legally allowed to happen?

Look close to home While it is commendable that Council is spending money on roads and bridges in the hinterland, it would also be good if they could have a look at a problem only a few hundred metres from their offices.

Every time a spring high tide coincides with a bit of wet weather, the Noosa River breaks it’s banks and salt water floods across Hilton Tce near the Convention Centre. As it is one of the busiest roads in the Shire, it would have been good if this was fixed while the work on the nearby roundabout was happening. We will see.

Of benefit to whom?

In her letter ‘Benefit most over the few’ (Noosa Today, 31 July 2020), Joy Ringrose misinforms readers about the Noosa Plan and Mayor Clare Stewart’s stated position.

Contrary to Ms Ringrose’s incorrect assertion that the mayor claimed not allowing short stay letting “would drive up house prices”, actually Cr Stewart pointed out that by defining short term accommodation of whole houses as ‘inconsistent’, investors are likely to pivot to buying units for short stay letting, thereby driving up the prices of units, making them less affordable and less available for permanent renters such as workers.

Ms Ringrose was also wrong in stating that home hosted short stay letting will mean that “granny flats and similar dwellings would therefore be available for more permanent rental”.

In fact, under State government dictates, granny flats and secondary dwellings are not allowed to be used by anyone but family/ household members and, under the Noosa Plan, two kitchens in one dwelling are prohibited. The new Noosa Plan allows home hosted short stays only in a maximum of two or three bedrooms (depending on the zoning).

The approved new Noosa Plan incorporates

significant changes to planning approval requirements for all short term accommodation.

Again, contrary to Ms Ringrose’s assertions, Cr Stewart did not appear to want to “rush changes”. Cr Stewart made it clear she would have preferred to delay the changes until after further community consultation and monitoring. Alas, the majority of councillors preferred to rush.

Ingrid Jackson, Noosaville

On STA To Mayor Clare Stewart and Councillor Amelia Lorrentson. This is in regards to your comments as noted in the front page article of Noosa Today (24 July).

Cr. Lorentson stated that Council had only received 32 formal complaints from 2014 to 2020 relating to Short Term Letting.

These figures were confirmed by Council but also pointed out it did not reflect the number of phone complaints to Council that were not logged by staff nor did it reflect the number of submissions that Council received during the planning consultation period.

Mayor Stewart states that many essential workers lived in medium and high density housing zones that would be affected by increased rents and housing prices due to the lack of more Short Term Holiday Accommodation properties.

From what I understand, and from what I have heard from people that are employed in essential services and also in other areas of

employment, there already is a lack of decent rental accommodation in the Noosa area as more and more one and two bed apartments and town houses are snapped up by investors - the majority not residents of the Noosa Shire - so that they can make more and more money offering them on the Short Term Holiday market and taking them off the long term letting lists.

These investors do not live on site or nearby, and employ managers that are not listed anywhere so any complaints in regards to excess noise or any other problems that occur can not be directed to the right people - hence most complaints not going to council (due to lack of action) but to the Police.

The continuing bleat about poor Mum and Dads not being able to make a few bucks from their spare rooms they may have under or within their residences does not wash.

Most Noosa residents have no problems with this type of Short Term Holiday Letting but lumping all Short Term Holiday lets into this statement is untruthful and does not correctly represent the facts no matter how many figures Cr. Lorentson presents.

We, as long term residents of Noosa, are extremely happy that this Noosa Plan has been approved and will be following carefully Mayor Stewarts push to try and have the plan amended now, and not in two years.

We look forward to read further reports on this subject.

On The Soapbox Michael Gloster Noosa Parks Association president MICHAEL GLOSTER on why we must have a healthy river

Professor Greg Skilleter and Michael Gloster

Bring back the fish Noosa Parks Association is working for a Noosa River that runs blue not brown, a river that again provides abundant seafood for residents and visitors, as history shows it did.

Today the Noosa runs brown, caused by soil erosion from its Kin Kin catchment remaining trapped in the river and lakes by an increasingly choked river mouth.Combine this with the near total destruction of the Noosa River and Lakes system’s once magnificent natural water filtration system of oyster reefs and interconnected seagrass meadows, and it’s little wonder the Noosa River can no longer filter itself, or flush itself out to the ocean.

The river urgently needs help. Hard decisions must be made, now.The scientific report commissioned and funded by Noosa Parks Association, The Thomas Foundation, and Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, and publicly released by the University of Queensland this week and reported elsewhere in this edition, establishes beyond reasonable doubt that over the past 20 years there has been a dramatic decline in the biodiversity throughout the Noosa River and Lakes, particularly the micro fauna (the benthos) that live at the bottom of the river and lakes, and that are vital food sources for larger marine animals like prawns and fish.

Joining historical and emerging scientific dots together to guide the shaping of Noosa’s future has been a core NPA strength for 58 years. NPA has once again been joining the dots.Four king hits to the Noosa River and

Lakes over the past 150 years have unintentionally caused the current damage: forestry land clearing practices, particularly in the river’s steeply sloping Kin Kin catchment from the late 1800s; oyster reef exploitation from the late 1800s to the 1920s, then remaining oyster bed destruction from the 1950s, both to the point of functional extinction; river and lake bottom beam trawling for prawns from the 1950s; and the systematic estuary and river mouth destruction of huge swathes of marine habitat and hydrological flows by Noosa Council to create Noosa Sound in the mid 1970s, and ongoing futile attempts to patch up the damage ever since.

In each instance, except for Noosa Council, those responsible knew not what significant ecological damage they were doing. Given contemporary knowledge, how could they?

Noosa Councils, particularly those from the mid 1960s to mid-1970s, have no such excuse. They could and should have known better. Since the early 1960s Noosa Parks Association and sections of the Noosa community, and more recently Noosa Council, have worked tirelessly to have well over half of the total catchment of the Noosa River and Lakes system perpetually protected as Noosa and Cooloola National Parks. When we started, the Noosa-Cooloola region’s national parks totalled some 240 hectares. Now it’s well over 80,000 hectares.Our success in perpetually guaranteeing a great clean and green start to

life for the Noosa River and Lakes system enables us to be optimistic that Noosa’s better angels will partner with us to reduce, then stop the Kin Kin mud, to bring back the prawns and fish, to get the Noosa running blue again, to get her once again abundantly providing fresh seafood to the tables of Noosa’s residents and visitors.

NPA is hugely encouraged by the way many hands are already making lighter work: Noosa Council, Noosa Landcare, and the many hundreds of Kin Kin catchment landholders who genuinely care, are working to progressively turn off the Kin Kin Creek sediment pollution tap.

Noosa Council and The Nature Conservancy are working in partnership to rebuild oyster reefs in the Noosa estuary and lower Noosa River, to recover vital marine habitat, fish food, and muddy water filtering.

Noosa Council and The Nature Conservancy are discussing working together to rebuild seagrass meadows in Lakes Cootharaba, Cooroibah, Doonella and Weyba, to recover lost marine habitat and food source, and anchor muddy sediment.

beam trawl destruction.

Council now needs to start working · Noosa with relevant State Authorities to carefully manage increased environmental flows in the lower Noosa estuary and river mouth, to enable sufficient river sediment flushing out to Laguna Bay and beyond.All this is now within reach. Encouragingly, over recent years, two of the three key Noosa River stakeholders who in earlier times unwittingly caused significant damage to the river and lakes have now joined with those working for system-wide recovery. Take a bow Noosa Council, and take a bow the small army of Kin Kin catchment landowners committed to keeping Kin Kin soil in Kin Kin. The door remains open to professional fishermen to join with us.

More widely, NPA, The Thomas Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, Noosa Council, Noosa and District Landcare, and the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, have been joined by government departments, university research units, commercial businesses, community groups, and other conservation groups. Feelers are out to Tourism Noosa, Noosa World Surfing Reserve, and recreational fishing groups to join us. Given the current momentum being generated, Noosa Parks Association is quietly confident that it is only a matter of time before the Noosa River once again runs blue, once again provides abundant seafood to residents and visitors.

Comics: the laughs are on them

Gender in spotlight at gallery showing FEM-aFFINITY - an exhibition that explores female identity - is now showing at Noosa Regional Gallery.

It’s a partnership of creative social enterprise Arts Project Australia and National Exhibitions Touring Support (NETS) Victoria.

“It is the pairing of abled, contemporary female Australian artists with their contemporaries at Arts Project Australia that really sets FEM-aFFINITY apart from other female-led exhibitions,” Noosa Regional Gallery Director Michael Brennan said.

Arts Project Australia supports artists with intellectual disabilities, promotes their work and advocates for their inclusion in contemporary art practice.

Arts Project Australia’s Sim Luttin describes

the 14 artists who’ve collaborated to produce the FEM-aFFINITY exhibition as “accidental feminists”.

“Accidental feminists aren’t deliberately creating work within a traditional feminist canon,” she said.

“They lead by example and have an impact on others by doing.”

“At the heart of FEM-aFFINITY is the notion that as women develop meaningful and critically engaging careers in the arts, they are ‘doing’ feminism,” Brennan said.

“The 14 artists in FEM-aFFINITY are all positively forging unique careers in the arts.”

The exhibition, curated by Associate Professor Catherine Bell, celebrates collaboration.

“By moving the discussion away from disability, FEM-aFFINITY champions the vibrancy and inclusiveness of the arts - the recognition that difference is something to celebrate and not isolate.”

All 14 artists share an affinity of subject matter, technique and process.

The artists include Fulli Andrinopoulos, Dorothy Berry, Yvette Coppersmith, Wendy Dawson, Prudence Flint, Helga Groves, Bronwyn Hack, Janelle Low, Eden Menta, Jill Orr, Lisa Reid, Heather Shimmen, Cathy Staughton and Jane Trengove.

Entry to the exhibition is free. Visit www. noosaregionalgallery.com.au for more information.

Walk through wildflowers at festival Noosa will showcase nature at its best including its spring wildflowers as part of the annual Sunshine Coast Wildflower Festival during August.

The full program runs from 15-30 August and offers 18 free walks and other activities at different Sunshine Coast locations from the Glass House Mountains in the south to Noosa North Shore. Coordinated by Sunshine Coast Council, each activity has a particular theme, including local wildflowers and wildlife, fire management for biodiversity and traditional cultural landscape.

Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) will be guiding four walks in the Noosa area as part of the festival. The walks have been chosen to enable people to explore some of the many different habitats and plant communities around Noosa.

NICA’s four walks will be led by experienced local guides - botanists and naturalists - who will inspire and share their knowledge along the way. The public can choose from the popular Headland Section of Noosa National Park, a hidden gem in Girraween Nature Refuge at Noosa Heads, the woodlands of Arthur Harrold Nature Refuge at Noosa North Shore and a discovery tour of the mysteries of mangroves at Noosaville. This last walk is fully accessible to people in wheelchairs.

The full program of walks and activities can be found on the Sunshine Coast Council website; 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 August, 2020

A team of comedians from across Queensland, including the Sunshine Coast’s Ryan Anderson, are planning a free livestreamed comedy debate next week answering the eternal question: is music better than sex?

Six comics will be answering the question Is Music Better Than Sex? at the special adults-only time of 9pm on Wednesday, August 5.

Organiser Jodie van de Wetering spent June researching how comedians embraced online gigs after live events were cancelled due to Coronavirus, with support from the Queensland Regional Arts Services Network.

“Stand up is a very immediate, responsive art form,” Jodie said, “so as soon as live gigs disappeared comedians started finding new ways to express their creativity, and earn an income.

“If we can use technology like Zoom to bring us together during social distancing, why not use it to bring comics together to create more opportunities to perform?

“It means comedians from southeast Queensland can share a bill with comics from hundreds of miles away in Mackay or Rockhampton, and we can connect with more experienced performers to help everyone involved sharpen their game and bring their best on the night.”

The debate will be run through Zoom, the video conferencing app that has skyrocketed in popularity since the pandemic lockdown began.

To get involved, just visit this link when it’s time for the show at 9pm on Wednesday, August 5: https://us02web. zoom.us/j/85141885007 If your internet is patchy, you can also listen in by phone by calling (07) 3185 3730 or (02) 8015 6011 and entering meeting ID 851 4188 5007. Regular call costs apply.

WHAT’S ON

Owen with his experimental sculpture.

Mural Man makes mark

By Phil Jarratt Hard-working artist Owen Cavanagh knows how to attract attention. His tin shed mural of Mudjimba Island by the edge of the motorway at Coolum has been doing just that for nearly 20 years now, and has been back in the news lately as Sunshine Coast Council and Sunshine Coast Airport prepare the iconic art for life after the tin shed.

It’s also made the news for all the wrong reasons, like in 2016, when graffiti artists decided to take art into their own hands by tagging it. On that occasion Owen and wife Natasha nearly died trying to fix it when they rolled their paint-filled car driving from Gladstone on the mission of mercy. But, typical of Owen, they were still there by the motorway applying a fresh coat by the next afternoon.

A third-generation Sunny Coaster, Owen went to school in Buderim and learnt to surf at Double Island Point on trips with his fishing-mad dad. By the ‘90s he was surf-crazed and interrupted his career as a spray painter to spend a winter on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, where local surfer Gary Elkerton was battling for a world title. In Waikiki, Owen first encountered the work of celebrated artist Wyland, whose aquatic air-brush art was taking the world by storm. He suddenly knew where his life was going.

Back in Australia he located the best airbrush art teacher in the country who happened to be in Melbourne, moved there and completed a course. He experimented with a variety of mediums, then one day a friend suggested he paint a surf scene on corrugated iron. He’d found his signature.

The ultimate expression of this genre is the giant mural by the Sunshine Coast Motorway, but when he gained permission from the owners of the sugar cane property to paint it, he realised its scope was way beyond anything he’d done before. Undaunted, he just started in one corner and watched what happened.

Now there are smaller but impressive murals all over the place - the one in Peregian Village is particularly striking - and thanks to a number of successful exhibitions and commissions to produce trophies for surfing events, Owen’s corrugated iron art pieces, big and small, can be found all over the surfing world.

This writer is the proud owner of the smallest corrugated iron trophy ever made (having made the final of a local comp a couple of years ago) but it stares down at me from a

The tiniest trophy. shelf in my office and makes me happy. Says Owen: “I love doing trophies because they’re all slightly different, and there’s a bit of me in each one.” In 2005 Owen took his art styles to Europe, worked on commissions in sheds from Hossegor to Mundaka, and over a few years put his unique brand firmly on the Basque coasts of France and Spain.

The latest twist in the corrugated iron story is rust. Owen loves the effect of painting on a rusty sheet of tin, so he’s incorporating it into much of his new work. In fact, his huge new studio in the Coolum industrial estate is full of rusty tin from building sites and other wellused materials he is “up-cycling” in his art. A genuine bower bird, he nicks fence posts, wire and driftwood from his parents’ property, collects foam offcuts from the shaping bays and resin from the drip trays at local surfboard fac-

tories, and bits of chain or interesting branches wherever he finds them. An experimental sculpture taking shape at the front of his studio includes a rotting surfboard from a mate’s backyard, a vaguely bird-shaped branch he found near his donga while keeping the wolf from the door with a FIFO stint out west, part of an old bridge near Gympie, and some stones from the Mary River. He says: “I just start building these things and see where they lead me.”

Where they’re leading him is towards a growing cult following in Australia and around the world. Now 53, Owen is hoping that the commercial space offered by his new Coolum SoleArte studio will mean that his FIFO days are over and he can devote all of his time to his art.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Let there be Light (Years) Trevor Pepys reviews Light Years Asian Bar and Diner, Noosa Junction We were supposed to be going somewhere else in the Junction, but Trevor doesn’t like it when his calls go unanswered and his increasingly hostile messages likewise. So, since our party of four had Asian in mind, we stuck to the theme but, instead of breaking new ground, revisited the dependable and sometimes inspired Light Years.

A confession: last time Trev went to Light Years he went a bit silly on the beef rendang and red wine and was confined to quarters the next day. No reflection on the house rendang - Trev has been a connoisseur since early days in the Padang Makan roadhouses, and now swears by the treatment Bambu in Seminyak, Bali, gives to this quintessential Indonesian dish. It was the red wine combo rather than the beef that did him in. But this time we avoided the big, rich dish and went instead for some share plates.

But first, Trev had as usual a photographable thirst, so front of house Leon was sent running for a bottle of Pizzini pinot grigio ($48), an eminently quaffable King Valley drop.

If you’re going to drink the domestic product rather than the Italian, you can’t do much better than a King Valley, and while there are a few good ones to choose from (including the Nugan Estate), Trev favours the citrus blends of the Pizzini.

Okay, that will be enough wine wanking. On with the tucker! We chose to launch with the kingfish ceviche ($24), succulent fish subtly

Wontons.

Light Years. cured in coconut, chilli and kaffir lime. What a great way to start a meal. No complaints from our lot, other than another bottle of Pizzini, Leon, and don’t spare the horses.

Next came the shitake, ginger and chestnut wontons ($16) and the miso caramel eggplant ($22). To be honest, I’ve had better wontons.

The black vinegar seemed to overwhelm the sesame and coriander, and if there was a low point in a high-scoring meal, this was it. But

the eggplant (not Trev’s favourite vegetable) was a pleasant surprise, with the very ingredients buried in the wontons shining through.

Then came the dish of the night, so good we had to double down while trebling on the Pizzini. The chicken yakitori in a sweet plum glaze ($18) was everything you expect of this simple Japanese staple, and so much more. If you’re going to call yourself a diner, then you have to get the basic Asian street dishes just right, and

at Light Years they seem to have got that one down pat.

Light Years is a chain of three these days, with the fairly recent addition of Burleigh Heads to the Byron original and its Noosa counterpart. Not having been to the others, Trev can’t complain about economies of scale eating into originality, so he won’t. But Noosa’s version is easy on the eye, a pleasant space in which to graze (I don’t know why they need such a big bar - is it for cocktail dancing?) with excellent service from staff who are friendly rather than gushy.

The verdict? Good value pan-Asian offering with a few real treats. Trev will be back.

NEWS

What’s In A Name Phil Jarratt PHIL JARRATT continues to investigate the significance of place and street names in the region, this week focussing on Walter Hay Drive and the person known as...

The father of Noosa Walter Hay Drive, Noosaville People who know anything about Noosa’s history will probably have a vague idea who Walter Hay was. People who know anything about Walter Hay’s history will probably be able to tell you that his gravestone in Tewantin Cemetery declares him the “father of Noosa”. Beyond that, not so much.

But since one of our major trunk routes, connecting Noosaville to the Sunshine Coast Motorway, is named after old Walt, let’s give him his dues.

Born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1833, Walter Hay was to become one of the most important of Noosa’s founding fathers but his first foray into Noosa land speculation, a lease over 16,000 acres at Lake Cootharaba, was an abysmal failure. The land was neither surveyed nor developed, and after Queensland separated from New South Wales, new land laws were enacted in 1860 that made it even more difficult to turn a profit on the marshy lake-lands.

But taking a haircut on a land deal would not have fazed the young Walter Hay, who, with his baby brother Robert and parents Robert and Isabella, had sailed into Port Jackson on the Lady Kennaway as free settlers in 1838, and faced a life of colonial hardships through most of his childhood.

Details of Walter’s early life in Australia are scant, but by his late teens in the early 1850s, we know he had made his way north where he found work as a stockman on outlying cattle runs. One of his bosses during this time was a wealthy squatter named John Eaton, who had a property called “Teebar”, near Maryborough, which was where Walter met the squatter’s daughter, Mary Ann, in 1855. They were married the following year at Teebar and within months their first child, a daughter, was stillborn.

Over the coming years Mary Ann was to be mostly at home, pregnant, while Walter moved from one business venture to the next, often with the financial help of his father-in-law. By late 1867, the large Hay brood was back in Maryborough, where Walter bought the Prince’s Ferry business. With the discovery of gold at Gympie that year, the Prince’s Ferry became a thriving concern, and Walter was soon a gold rush success story, but Mary Ann had little time to enjoy their prosperity.

In June 1870, she died aged 35, following the birth of twins who were successfully delivered, becoming the Hays’ ninth and tenth children, although two had previously been stillborn. Mary Ann was surrounded by family at her father’s Rosehill property, but Hay was out bush and beyond contact, unable to be at the deathbed, or at the large funeral a few days later.

In fact, Walter had been building the Gympie-Tewantin “shortcut” coach road for the Queensland surveyor-general in June 1870 when his twins were born and Mary Ann died.

With no communications reaching the rough bush camp on the Wolvi Range near Kin Kin, the news was almost a week old when he received it, and Mary Ann had already been laid to rest. There are no reports as to whether he took time off to mourn, or simply lost himself in the tough, back-breaking work of land clearing, but the project was completed on time.

When he eventually got back to the Gympie Lands Office in October, he was not a happy man.

Before starting the coach road, he and another investor named Grainger Ward had leased large chunks of the area soon to be surveyed for the village of Tewantin. A newly widowed dad with eight children under 14 to care for, Walter probably had every reason to be angry about the way life was unfolding, but his specific issue when he called at the Lands Office was that in his absence the survey had been completed and had resumed much of his and Ward’s selections. Eventually both men

Walter Hay Drive. were allowed to make new selections, with Ward taking up an area of riverfront to the north of town which became Ward Estate, and Hay taking riverfront south of Lake Doonella which he named Hilton Park.

By the 1880s Walter was the king of Noosa real estate, and the jewel in his crown was Bay

(After several rebuilds it is now Halse Lodge.)

Walter extended the original building and ran it as a guesthouse, feeding his guests from an extensive market garden on tidal Hay’s Island, now Noosa Sound, where he also kept the Noosa Light.

In his later years Walter fought hard to have Noosa recognized as a major shipping port, while also campaigning for new roads and bridges to join the river towns. Although the 1890s depression put a dent in his property portfolio, he died in 1907 a wealthy and respected man, surrounded by an extensive family who carried on his businesses.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Queenfish in the estuary The lead up to the full moon has seen the currents and tidal range build which is always a sign for fish to start to feed heavily. Offshore anglers have been turning their attentions to tuskies, cobia, coral trout, amberjack, longtail tuna and jewies. With conditions ranging from perfect to lumpy we saw the inshore reefs more popular. Many boats ventured wider to North Reef and beyond and scored the bigger jewfish and cobia on pilchard baits and big live baits.

Sunshine still has a few coral trout and these respond very well to a live bait fished hard on the bottom with heavier gear a must. If in the market for some new gear take a look at the various new reels from Penn. These is something for everyone with estuary and offshore covered. These match up to the black ops rods to make a great all round combo.

Estuary fishing has seen the mighty queenfish coming into the estuary. These fish come in with the higher tides to chase the baitfish and stay for a while. The surface bite has been the most productive with the Bassday Sugapen and MMD splash prawn getting the hits. Fish around the lower estuary and keep your lure skipping across the surface like you do when fishing for whiting. Leaders must be upgraded to a least 15lb, but keep them to around 600mm as long leaders effect the action of small lures.

Bigger sugapens can handle longer 1 meter leaders. Look at high quality options from FC Rock and Nitlon as these fish will put your gear to the test. Elsewhere in the lower estuary flatties have been on the move along with golden trevally and bream. Flick lures and lightly weighted baits around any rocky areas and sandy drop offs with the dog beach a classic area. This area has lots of structure, deep holes and sandy drop offs. Lastly the river mouth has seen a good run on the luderick. These fish are mainly targeted on weed but are also known to take prawns, worms and even bread. Be sure to use slow taper rods and grab a blackfish float if you are in store and need help setting up.

Surf fishing has seen things improve for the jewie anglers. Not only have there been some nice size fish around 70cm caught in the estuary but some cracking 15+ KG fish have been landed up and down the coast. If you are serious it pays to study and find an area in the daytime so you know where to cast at night. As we approach the full moon the tides build and so do the currents. This means that prime bite times will be around the turn before the currents become too strong. While we have fresh mullet be sure to come grab a few as there are few fish that will turn their noses down to a slab. Using a snell rig with 2 x 6/0+ octopus hooks and 40-60lb mono leader helps with the best presentation. Have a look at the new Rovex leader material for a great jewie rig.

Freshwater has been going off as late. The winds have picked up and made it slightly

Amee, with a coral trout, boated at Sunshine Reef while fishing with Chicko Vella from Davo’s Tackle World. harder to fish but the results have been great.

Borumba and Lake Mac have both been holding fish in high numbers especially in the main lower areas. The bass are schooling up and many are fattened up and full of milt which is a sign they are ready to breed but unable to reach brackish water to do so. These fish are holding in the deeper waters making fishing with heavier 3/8thoz jig heads a must.

Pin High Peter Owen

Peter’s got a sweet swing The great uncertainty of golf is one of its ultimate appeals. Just ask Noosa Springs’ member Peter Catchlove, who had watched with growing frustration as his handicap ballooned out to 23.

Then, last Friday, he and a friend popped out to Noosa Valley golf course to play 18 holes on that picturesque layout.

“Suddenly it all clicked,” said a delighted Mr Catchlove. “I hardly made an error and I went close to parring the course.”

His good form continued next day when he competed in Noosa Springs’ Monthly Medal.

He shot 94 around the more difficult Noosa Springs course. Deduct his 23 handicap and he’d returned a net 71 - good enough to snare his first ever Monthly Medal trophy.

Peter Catchlove, a long-time Noosa resident who ran his own advertising agency before retiring, was a Peregian member before he joined Noosa Springs about five years ago. He says he loves the course and the facilities, and enjoys the company of his fellow members.

Though he regularly plays in club events on Wednesdays and Saturdays, his first love is taking on his mates in social, but nonetheless, serious competitions on Monday afternoons, where every player kicks in $5 with the winner collecting the spoils.

Reward for effort at Noosa No wonder Noosa Golf Club’s Tuesday Club has accrued a membership base of more than 350, or that most of them turn up and compete each week. With generous rewards, including cash prizes of $150 for the winners of each of three grades, the competition is almost certainly the most lucrative on the Sunshine Coast.

“It’s certainly very popular,” said Noosa general manager Allan Harris, a Tuesday Club member himself.

Though it’s made up entirely of Noosa members, the Tuesday Club operates independently of the golf club and members pay a modest joining fee. Entry fee each week is $15, most of which is returned to the competitors by way of generous prizes - quality golf gear or, as was the case last week, $150 for first, $120 for second, $90 for third and $60 for fourth in three grades.

There’s enough left over for an end-of-year function, and an annual donation to Noosa Golf Club for a specific project.

Allan Harris had special reason to celebrate last week’s competition. Playing off a handicap of 14, he won B grade with 42 points. “It was a flash in the pan,” he said with a smile. “I reckon it’s the first time in six months I’ve played to my handicap.”

Skins back next month It might have a new name, but the fun‘s just the same at the Noosa Springs Skins series, which continues on Wednesday, September 9.

Once known as the Wednesday Wine Down, it’s an opportunity for golfers to let their hair down and play serious golf in a very social manner.

Teams of four play a skins-type stableford event with a prize of four bottles of wine on offer for the best score on each hole. If two or more teams get the same score on a hole, the prize jackpots to the next hole.

At the end of the presentation there’s a draw for $1500 worth of advertising from Southern Cross Austereo; and if anybody is lucky - or talented - enough to hole out at the 4th they’ll win a corporate membership valued at $2250.

The cost is $79 ($39 for members) and that includes lunch and post-game nibbles. Call the Golf Shop on 5440 3333 or email golf@noosasprings.com.au. Covid-19 regulations will be in place to ensure the safety of golfers and staff.

Fine weekend for Lucas Lucas Herbert, the world Number 73 golfer who now calls Marcus Beach home, saved his best for last when he competed with the stars in the World Golf Championship Fedex-St Jude Invitational in Memphis, Tennessee, this week.Herbert, who had spent his time on the

Peter Catchlove, right, shares some golf tips with Noosa Springs golf services manager Warren Ellis.

Sunshine Coast during the four-month break from tournament golf, shot rounds of 71, 73, 69 and 67 to finish tied 49th in the elite field.

He is likely to remain in the US for the next few weeks before re-joining the European Tour.

Pennant finals date set Noosa will be well represented when the Sunshine Coast zone pennant finals are finally played at Gympie on Sunday, September 20.

Noosa will defend its title against Headland in A grade, while Noosa teams will take on Mt Coolum in B grade and Maroochy River in Masters. Two Caloundra teams will compete for the Juniors final.

The pennant finals, originally scheduled for March, were a casualty of COVID-19.

Golf and dinner at Noosa Springs What a way to end the working week - an afternoon of golf at one of Queensland’s best golf courses, followed by dinner at Noosa Springs’ award-winning restaurant, Relish.

The Friday ‘Nine and Dine’ special - nine holes of golf followed by a main meal - costs just $75.

If golf’s not your thing, you could try the ‘Hydro and Dine’ option - a 55-minute Spa Thermal Suite followed by a main meal in Relish restaurant. Same price. Same great value.

Slow start for Noosa star Sunshine Beach star Katherine Kirk showed understandable signs of rust when she com-

peted in the LPGA Drive On Championship in Toledo, Ohio this week. It was the first event on the premier women’s tour since the schedule was disrupted due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Kirk missed the 36-hole cut after rounds of 77 and 75. The event was won by American Danielle Kang, while Western Australia’s Minjee Lee (69, 73, 70) was third.

Friday challenge at Cooroy All golfers with an official handicap are invited to play in Cooroy’s Coopers 18-hole Challenge - a stableford event played every Friday with tee times from 7am to 1pm. The entry fee is $10 and there are prizes to be won. Put your name down on the timesheet in the clubhouse or book by phoning 5447 6258.

Peta’s in hot form Golf sometimes is the easiest of games. Peta Mancktelow is certainly one golfer who seems to have found the secret. Last Wednesday she won Noosa’s B grade stableford competition with 41 points, separating herself from the runner-up by five points.

Then, on Saturday, despite her handicap being cut by two strokes to 21, she won the Women’s Monthly Medal with a net 75 - three strokes clear of her nearest opponent.

Katie Rose charity event called off A golf day, aimed at raising funds for the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice and scheduled for October at Noosa Springs, has become an-

other Covid-19 victim.Simon Gamble, a Noosa Springs resident and chairman of the charity golf day committee, said coronavirus restrictions would have reduced the number of players and limited the fund-raising potential of the event.

The committee felt it better to cancel this year’s golf day, and concentrate on making next year’s bigger and better.

Katie Rose Hospice is a palliative care facility offering free professional care for those in the Noosa community facing a terminal illness.

Run your own unique race

By Erle Levey It will be a run like no other. The 7 Sunshine Coast Marathon and Community Run for 2020 is to be held on 15-16 August… virtually.

Instead of participants starting together at the one place they will be able to run their own race.

The start time of 6.30am will be the same for everyone but due to the Covid-19 pandemic participants will run the course that suits them best.

It will be a chance to achieve a personal best or simply participate, in the knowledge it will help charity together with individual health and well-being.

Board member Stephen Gage said it seemed like a good idea at the time. Yet no-one realised what it would grow to.

“The idea to hold a charity event was born out of a few summertime beers in McDonalds Noosa owner Gary Binet’s back yard 10 years ago,’’ Mr Gage said.

“We were a bunch of reasonably competitive but nothing too serious triathlon and running mates who tossed around a few ideas, a fun run or similar.

“Anyway, we realised that the Coast didn’t have a marathon and we settled on making it happen.

“I think Hemmingway said that plans made in the evening are not as reliable as plans made in the morning, or something like that, and the same goes here.

“Little did we know how much was involved and, in an effort to keep costs down and give as much to charity, as board members we put our hands up for everything.

“This meant in the first four to five years we were doing pretty much everything from erecting scaffold, to course marking, to shifting portaloos.

“One year we only just managed, by mere seconds, to get the start arch up in time, all of us yelling at each other and scrambling. I don’t think any competitors even noticed.’’

The marathon had more than 2000 entries in the first year, and that has grown to almost 7000.

Mr Gage said the board still spends the best part of race week organising the event sites, erecting sponsorship bunting and numerous other jobs that need doing.

As a result, the event has poured over $1.5m back into charities.

Stephen Gage doesn’t run very much anymore but enjoys when he does.

“I started running when I was 30, to try to get fit. I was overweight and a smoker and my dad had just been diagnosed with an illness in his mid 60s and I realised that wasn’t really far off for me.

“My first run was 800m to the shops and

Skye Taylor, Florence Lemyre and Tristan Oort of runfitnoosa prepare for the 7 Sunshine Coast Marathon and Community Run Virtual Festival, to be held on August 15-16. Picture: ERLE LEVEY then I walked home. I thought I’d run a fair way and felt pretty proud of myself.

“You’ve got to start somewhere, right? I was

never a fast runner at school, the second slowest over 100m, but I found I could run slowly for a long time and maintain a pace.

“Sometimes it’s a struggle but I always find that I end a day better if I have run. If I just start, sometimes it’s slow for a long while, even the whole run.

“Sometimes I find a rhythm and can get into a good tempo. I always feel better once I’ve done it, that kind of exhausted but invigorated feel.

“I used to run long distances (100km at a time) and, for a few years at least, I held the world record for the double marathon leg in an Ultraman.’’

For runfitnoosa’s Tristan Oort, he is excited to be taking part in the event and is aiming to run the full marathon distance of 42km from Noosa Heads to Alexandra Headland.

“Living here in Noosa I have been running the beautiful coastline for the past 15 years always increasing the distance as I grew older.

“It wasn’t until the last few years that I started being comfortable running longer distances and my goal for 2020 was to run three marathons, being the Noosa runaway marathon, the Gold Coast marathon and the Sunshine Coast marathon but since the Covid-19 pandemic all of these races have been cancelled.

“As soon as I heard I would still get a chance to compete this year I jumped on it.’’

Skye Taylor, a coach at runfitnoosa, expects to do a half marathon from Noosa to Coolum Beach with colleague Florence Lemyre.

“I only started running again early 2019, and instantly loved the feeling of accomplishment and the moments of clarity you can only get whilst running,’’ Ms Taylor said.

“Now as one of the runfit coaches, I love to show people, regardless of fitness level or age, the undeniable physical and psychological benefits running can bring.’’

For Florence Lemyre, from my first half marathon in 2017 to a full marathon a year later, she have always loved the feeling of accomplishment after each race.

“When I met Skye and Tristan, I had been taking a break from training as I was travelling.

As fitness coaches, they brought me back into the running world in a heartbeat.

“Running gives me clarity of thought, which also brings so many benefits. I am really looking forward to keep on training and achieving new goals.’’

All distances are $35 per person to enter and include a virtual bib, live leaderboards over event weekend and a medal.

The event allows participants to run for a reason, with $5 from every entry being donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities South East Queensland.

Simply pick a distance; sign up; get training and think about the course you’re going to run.

Followers can take a seat and cheer on the Wombats

By Abbey Cannan As local sport begins to return to a new normal, there’s been news welcomed by Cooroora United Football Club. A long-time sponsor of the club has delivered on a promise that will transform how local fans can watch the game.

The Cooroy and Pomona Community Bank branches of Bendigo Bank added to the decade long list of projects by helping the club purchase two mobile grandstands to seat the club faithful at home games.

Club president, Tony McCarthy said the structures are a brilliant asset for CUFC. “The season is only a week old and we’re excited to be all together again until November. These grandstands are the latest sign of our club’s increasing strength and commitment to improving facilities for our loyal members and visitors alike,” Tony shared.

“They’re another small representation of an evolving, long-term plan for the Wombats and our place within the Hinterland community. We simply couldn’t have done this without Bendigo Bank’s wonderful support and we’re delighted at the backing they continue to show our club. They’ll allow a place 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 August, 2020

to sit, relax and enjoy some football in a family friendly environment,” he said.

The glue that holds the club together is the work of so many great volunteers who assist the hard-working committee in getting many teams out there enjoying their football.

Joining some of the teams before training last week was Cooroy and Pomona Community Bank branch manager, Samantha Atholwood. She said Bendigo Bank is delighted to be supporting the club for the 2020 season.

“We’ve been proud sponsors for many years - from helping purchase club strips to the free Cooroora United app, and now these great new grandstands. We’re here to support those who support us by choosing to bank with us. It’s something we all love being part of,” Samantha said.

“The club is filled with so many great locals and you can feel the family atmosphere every time you come here. We wish all the teams a great season once the green light is given for the games to be played. Go the Wombats!” she concluded.

Anyone looking to become involved with Cooroora United can do so by contacting the club through any of the numbers on its website: cufc.org.au.

The crowd was packed at Sunday afternoon’s event at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

Supporting is contagious

By Abbey Cannan Sunshine Coast Council has responded to criticism after there was a lack of social distancing in the crowd at last Sunday’s Storm game.

A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson said Queensland Health issued Sunshine Coast Stadium an approved CovidSafe plan for Melbourne Storm fixtures held at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

The approved Queensland Health plan allowed for 6000 people to attend Sunday afternoon’s event (2 August) at the Stadium - less than half the venue-certified capacity.

The crowd attendance was officially 5437.

“While the CovidSafe plan in place for the NRL match played on 17 July complied with requirements of the CovidSafe plan for the venue, in light of the developing situation, the

Stadium made significant changes to the Melbourne Storm v Newcastle Knights game including event logistics and increased security, volunteers, police and staff,” a spokesperson said.

“We do however acknowledge that there remains some issues with allowances for social distancing.

“As a precautionary measure, in consulta-

tion with Qld Heath and NRL, the crowd numbers have been lowered and no further tickets will be put on sale for the Melbourne Storm v Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs match on 8 August with the crowd capacity reduced to approximately 5,000 people who have already purchased tickets to the game.”

Any future Melbourne Storm “home” games would need to be negotiated with the Storm, NRL and Queensland Health.

Dragons fought hard U8 Match Report by team manager Jero Mansell The Eumundi Dragons U8’s had a hard fought game on Saturday against a strong Noosa Dolphins side. The lead see-sawed between both teams with strong running and great support play resulting in a number of tries. The Dragons team were committed with every player doing really well, working hard on defence executing some great tackles. Hunter and Finn made some strong tackles with great running from Jack, Zac and Tristan. Henry and CJ provided good impetus on attack, supporting the ball. Quill produced a player of the day performance with a well rounded effort, great tackling and running with the ball. Great work U8’s.

U11 Match Report by team manager Pamela Campbell Jones A deceptively cool morning as the Dragons met the Noosa Fins at Kawana on Saturday, but the Fins were running super-hot right from the start. The Dragons had little possession of the ball in the first half and worked hard for the whole half.

NOOSA AFL Saturday, 8th August 2020

The second half saw the Dragons come back on with renewed vigour and it was a much more even game, both in possession and the score line.

The Dragons would like to thank Samuel, Keanu, Seamus, Tige, Lachlan and Zeb from Brothers who joined the Dragons for the game and gave it their all.

The Best Team Mate was awarded to Jett Herbert, who was all over the field, not only scoring tries but making plenty of impressive tackles as well.

Well done Dragons - you are always learning and improving.

Racing season underway The winds of change have blown strong through our society in recent months and as much as some things in our society have been turned upside down there are some things that no matter what, remain unchanged.

August 1, the official birthday of every thoroughbred in Australia and the start of the new racing season is one of those fixtures no matter what else is happening around us.

Jockey Celebration Day is also recognised and celebrated at racetracks across the country, including locally on 1 August.

This past Saturday’s celebration provided an opportunity for the entire racing industry to support the objectives of Jockey Celebration Day by recognising the work of former and current jockeys, as well as those lost.

Race meetings around Australia observed a minute silence in honour of jockeys who have lost their lives in races, followed by a prayer for safety as the new season began led by the Australian Racing Christian Chaplaincy.

The August celebration is held annually and is an initiative of the National Jockeys Trust and the Australian Jockeys Association.

2020 marks the 16th anniversary of Jockey Celebration Day and of the National Jockeys Trust (NJT) itself.

Since 2004, the NJT has provided more than $4.5 million in assistance to more than 400 jockeys and the families of jockeys that have lost their lives.

Approximately 200 riders are injured each year on Australian racetracks, with around 500 falls annually.

There is much scrutiny of jockeys these days. That scrutiny does not come with multi-million-dollar contracts that we see young footballers signing on for. For a jockey, racing instead comes with a strict personal regime ,an even stricter set of rules, a great deal of hard yakka, no guarantee of success, no guarantee of a pot of gold and no guarantee that there will not be injuries or loss of life.

The only real guarantee a jockey has is that at some stage someone will tell them they could do their job better no matter where they sit in the pecking order and inevitably sack them off a good horse.

If you did not pause and reflect on the courage and contributions of these sports people last Saturday, then when you next have a punt spare a thought for the hoops on top and their contribution to the racing industry.

- Casey

GOOD SCORES BUT COULD A RECORD BE IN THE WIND There were some outstanding score in the August Monthly Medal round last Saturday (1 August). There were two scores of 65, playing off the blue tees, and in the same group, George Giblett and Simon Tooman both achieved the score. Despite the score some golfers are never happy - George was a little disappointed as he was six under after eight holes. Does this mean we could be seeing a new course record sooner rather than later.

TIGERS FLYING HIGH The Tigers will be coming off a big win over Coorparoo the past weekend when they face Beenleigh at home on Saturday. The Noosa Tigers made it three wins on the trot to when they scored a thumping ten-goal win at Weyba Road this past Saturday.

The premiership favourites stamped their authority in the game after quarter time and if not for inaccurate kicking the margin could have been a lot more.

After an even opening stanza it was the class and running power of players like Stack, Fitzpatrick and young Will O’Dwyer that put away any chance of a Kings upset.

Veteran Hutchinson was instrumental at the coal face with clever hands and decision making. The left foot of Daniel Stevens was certainly on notice also.

On the run, the action from the Tigers v Coorparoo match.

Buntain, Maher, McCrimmon and Riley O’Dwyer controlled the back while Mitch Fraser’s efforts throughout the entire game made him one of the standouts on the ground. Up forward Seb Rogers(3.5) presented beautifully all day without getting the reward he deserved whilst Ben Collins(2.7) and Tiger veteran Nathan Winter(two goals) looked dangerous and played their roles well. Tyler Stack was judged best player on the ground by the live stream media contingent. You can watch a replay of the game on the Noosa Tigers Facebook page.

Tony Brennan’s reserve grade side had a solid and hard-fought win over Coorparoo in pretty heavy going with club favourite Adam Curry the standout. The Coolum-Noosa Colts had a gutsy two goal win over pretty good opposition to remain unbeaten with Lucas Gregory and again Tallis Buntain the best for the Tigers Adding the icing on the cake, the Tigers women’s team had a big win over Alexander Hills to keep them in a strong ladder position.

Cass Hoekstra the star for the Tigers.

It’s an away to Beenleigh this Saturday for the seniors sides.

ROUND AND ROUND - PAYTEN NOT READY TO GET OFF YET As the NRL coaching merry-go-round picks up speed Warriors interim coach Todd Payten has revealed he has knocked back an offer to take up the Warriors position full-time.

Instead Payten has thrown his hat into the ring setting his sights on the top job at the Cowboys. The Warriors interim coach has revealed he was interviewed for the Warriors job and had since been offered the job and is said to have declined. He believes that the move to the full-time coaching position in New Zealand would not be the correct one for his family at this time and after plenty of soul searching is believed to have told the Warriors management of his decision.

Craig Slaney takes an up-close look at the game between the Tigers and Coorparoo.

“It was not an easy decision, something I agonised over for a few days but in the end, it was the first time I put my family first in a decision. It just wasn’t the right time.” Payten said.

The list of potential applicants for the Warriors job is now said to include Geoff Toovey, Ben and Shane Walker, Anthony Griffin and Paul Green. All have been touted as potential candidates to replace Stephen Kearney, who was relieved of his post by the Warriors after their round six loss. Payten has guided the team to two wins in their past six matches under difficult circumstances. He is keen to move back to Australia as his father-in-law undergoes cancer treatment. In the mean-time he is contracted to the Warriors until the end of 2021 and if not successful in his bid for the job at the Cowboy’s he says he will lend his full support to the Warriors as the assistant coach.

It is understood that the Cowboys management are aware of his interest in the Townsville job. if they offered him the gig and confirmed they were aware of his interest.

The former Raiders, Roosters and Wests Tigers forward has previously been an assistant coach at North Queensland.

PIRATES HEADING INTO ROUND THREE The Noosa Pirates juniors were back in action this past weekend with most teams on the road.

The Under-16’s had a 20-16 win over Kawana at the Kawana Sports Precinct on Friday night. This week the Pirate boys host the Under-16 Caboolture side with kick off at 6.30pm at Pirate park to start all the action in round three The Under 18’s will look to make amends

for their 18-nil loss to Kawana this past week when they host Caboolture at Pirate Park. That game kicks off at 7.45pm. the action continues Saturday morning, with many of the younger sides at home again at Pirate Park Tewantin.

The Under 9’s start the action at 9am.

Special thanks again to all those who are pitching in to help. Remember each team needs to provide a minimum of four volunteers per home game for 30 minutes, either before or after each game.

The club needs ground marshals, canteen helpers, scorers and more! The time spent goes a long way to help keep the club afloat and kids on the paddock during this difficult season.

A reminder to everyone - it is vitally important to remember that there is only one ‘single point of entry’ at every Pirates home ground venue. Club officials ask that this mandatory requirement is followed. Anyone unsure should head to the Pirates’ Facebook page and refer to the site map for more information.

Off into the Sunshine In the words of retiring Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving club president Craig Law: “This years’ Annual General meeting, was the best attended in many years, it went well with good debates on various matters and the election of officers ran smoothly.”

A good well attended meeting is usually a good indication for the season ahead.

For Craig it was the end of good and very successful career as an executive member of the club. Down through the years he has held many club positions at board level as a patrolling person and also as a board member at both branch and state level.

With Craig stepping aside, the election of his successor saw Johnny Gooderham elected to office and after the AGM, he acknowledged and congratulated Craig on being made a life member.

“This was a greatly deserved recognition.”

In a discussion regarding his eight years as president, he touched on some of the highlights. ‘’Things that really struct home were seeing the appointment of our first ever Life Governor Ross Bartlett and the appointment of four Life members; also, the massive amounts of awards won in lifesaving and surf sports at both state and national level. One thing in particular, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our sponsors and supporter club people: their role in our club life is of the utmost importance.

But as in every surf club, the biggest thank you must go to our patrol members; they are our backbone and our nippers are our future.”

Speaking of his future, Craig said he would like to continue his work in the Sunshine Coast Branch and State Centre and would be willing to serve in an ambassador type role, helping to promote lifesaving.

Another member to step aside from his position was Scott Summers, Director of Surf Lifesaving (club captain).This member who for seven years kept Sunshine Beach fatality free, will hand over to John Rees. “Scott was a man for the times, one you could always depend on, a very good member, one of the best,” said Craig Law, his former Club President.

Craig law receiving Life Membership from Ross Bartlett.

Other positions to be acknowledged were Mel Butcher as Deputy President, Hamish Robertson who will partner Yvette McKinley as Director of Finance. Chris Price Director of Surf Sports, will continue in office, as will Riley Mitchell Director of Youth and Cadets and Lyn Twigger Director of Administration. This season Sophie Olver will be Director of Junior Activities.

Regarding the Supporter club, Johnny Godderham was voted to retain his position as vice President. Life member, Peter Brewer is Treasurer: Natalie McMaster a new member was appointed to committee. Both John and Peter had held positions on the new building project, under chairman Life Member Warick Redwood.

To retirees, President Craig Law and Club Captain Scott Summers, we thank them for their years of service to the community and

wish them all the best in the future.

Because of the present health restrictions, the Noosa Head Surf Club decided to reduce their Annual Dinner and Presentation of Trophies, to just a Presentation of Trophies. This was preceded by a gathering of some fourteen life members at which Club President Ross Fisher bought them up to date regarding our on- going support for the Peregian Surf Club.

The trophy ceremony was well attended with honoured guests Dawn Fraser AC, MBE, and Mayor Clare Stewart in attendance. In his welcome speech Club President Ross Fisher acknowledged guests and members and thanked all for standing by during the present crises and Club Captain Roger Aspinall thanked the members for their loyalty and patrol work. In particular, he noted that during the season there had been four helicopter extractions, during which the performance of

the patrolling members had been first class.

He emphasised that members must take note as this is starting to become a common occurrence and that our work between the flags is now (being reduced) to a minor thing.

In the awards for patrolling efficiency the major ones were: Dave O’Donnell Memorial Trophy for Patrol Captains of the Year, Jack Frey and Lilly Tindal, Patrol of the Year( Noosa,) Patrol 8, Patrol of the Year (Peregian) Patrol 1: Most Patrol Hours, Rupert Anisimoff (Male) and Tilly Gilbert (Female): Senior Patrol Person of the Year, Rupert Anisimoff and Junior Tilley Gilbert, Rookie of the Year, Rowan Gamerno and the Dave Higgins Memorial Trophy for Club Person of the Year, went to Artemis Davison. Radio Operator of the Year was Peter (Big Pete) Williams.

“Achievements in the surf sports division were many,” said Director of Surf Sports Peter French, “and I congratulate them one and all :in particular the carnival officials for without them, there would be no carnivals: and also, our dedicated coaches. What follows are some of the many who achieved success.”

Most Outstanding Athlete, Lana Rogers, Most Improved Courtney Bryant, Team of the Year, Lilly Tindall and Lara Porter, Most Outstanding Juniors; Female, Tilly Giblet, Male Kai Thompson. Most Improved Surf Board Rider, Jen Pike and Boat Crew of the Year was; Rachel Paterson, Alexis Satlerly, Kate Tomba, Arty Davison and David Tomba.

Despite our health situation some athletes are on the move. All being well and health regulations permitting, the Noosa boat section will be holding surf boat try outs for those wishing to row. These will take place this Sunday August 9 at 8am at Noosa Main Beach .Not to be outdone Lana Rogers, Noosas winner of the Coolangatta Gold and Australia’s Nutri Grain Iron Woman Championship, is back on her full training program for this years’ Coolangatta Gold .We wish our boat crews and Lana all the best and let us not forget our Olympian, Kareena Lee, training and waiting for the Tokyo Olympics to become a reality.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Dudes, follow The Code! Kaimana and Ben.

Picture: PANGA

Bravely filming The Code Surfers are tough, no question about it. But there are limits, as three promising young locals found out this week.

Ben Lorentson, 15, Kaimana Cairns, 13, and Coco Cairns, 14, are the stars of Surf Code Feel The Stoke, a video webisode series being produced by Tewantin’s Panga Productions for the Noosa World Surfing Reserve and funded

by Noosa Council that will demonstrate the right way and the wrong way to do things in the surf.

The first thing the production’s technical advisor (your humble correspondent) advised the cast was that, because it’s Noosa, wetsuits and shivering are not allowed, despite it being the coldest morning of the winter. Only Ben obeyed, perhaps because his mum, Councillor Amelia, brings them up tough, while Coco and Kaimana may have felt that mum Carol and dad Shaun, who happened to be behind the cameras, were a soft touch.

But, it must be said, with commendable fortitude the three teenagers got through several hours of cold filming, with only one thawing break for hot chocolate, and we now have Surf Code pretty much in the can.

The purpose of this series of six one-minute episodes is to show beginning surfers of all ages how to surf safely in crowded conditions and share the waves fairly. It’s an important part of the NWSR’s stewardship strategy to promote behavioral change in the water and create safer and more enjoyable conditions for all. The series will rotate on social media platforms and all six episodes will be a permanent fixture on the Noosa World Surfing Reserve website. When things are back to normal, we also plan to use the video for school presentations.

Surf Code also includes some entertaining grabs from junior members of both Noosa Malibu Club and Noosa Boardriders, with the groms not holding back when it comes to dobbing in their mates for dropping in. Director Shaun Cairns says he tried to keep the series light and entertaining, while still getting through the important message about behav46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 August, 2020

ior in the waves.

And entertainment is certainly what we saw when Ben Lorentson warmed to his role (if not to the chilly water) as the bad guy, paddling out straight into the path of surfers riding waves, and snaking and dropping in on Kaimana and Coco. The stylish goofy-foot adopted a special kook stance for the shoot, so no one would think that these are the tactics he employs normally. Ben, a born entertainer, also does the narration.

Surf Code will be launched early in the spring.

The lows that keep on giving ... and taking It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good, if I have the old saying correct. That’s certainly what surfers almost the entire length of the Australian east coast have been saying so far this winter. While here on the Sunny Coast we haven’t seen the best of it, we’ve had plenty of fun days, but from the Gold Coast south a succession of East Coast Lows has created back to back major swell events from mid-June right through July. And there are still more to come before this cluster wears out, and with La Nina about to kick in, we could see a whole lot more.

If you’re a hell-man (or woman) no doubt you’ll be extremely envious of the Sydney surfers who scored monumental Deadman’s at Fairy Bower, epic Little Avalon and numerous South Coast slabs from Sandon Point south.

But spare a thought also for those who live on a decimated, gouged-out coastline, like Wamberal on the NSW Central Coast, and parts of Sydney’s northern beaches.

As the sand flow follows its littoral drift from south to north, many places, Noosa included, are more exposed to the gouging effect of strong east to north east swells, with not enough sand in place to stabilize the beach.

As surf forecaster Craig Brokensha noted on Swellnet last week, back to back swell events have a compounding effect and there is little that can be done to offset the impact.

Just make sure you’re not in it when your clifftop pool falls into the sea.

What not to do. Kook Ben drops in on Coco.

TAKING IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL

THE penthouse 18 in Noosa Pacific at 24 Munna Cres, Noosaville, offered the chance to snap up the two-level apartment that includes wrap-around rooftop terrace and some magnificent river, ocean and hinterland views.

Marketed by Michael McComas of Tom Offermann Real Estate, the auction on Saturday saw a clamour for last-minute inspections and registrations under Covid-19 health restrictions.

With Gordon Macdonald to call the action, bidding got under way around the swimming pool on the ground level of the complex.

“The bidding was electric,’’ Tom Offermann said, with agents mustering 11 registered bidders.

A $2m start reached $3m in about 10 bids. That’s when bidding strategies started to come to the fore with a mix of $50,000, $10,000 and $25,000 rises to $3.540m.

“They are looking for space, security, a vegie patch and to raise a half-dozen chickens.

“A village atmosphere, that’s what people are looking for. Society needs that sense of community.’’

He had never been around cattle but had visions of getting into breeding them.

“Five years ago, the saying was you had to be east of the Bruce (Highway). Now it’s as if it doesn’t exist ... a lot of people prefer to be west.’’

“We have seen an 11 per cent price growth compared to last year in the Cooroy, Doonan and Tinbeerwah area.’’

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 4300sq m at 139 Valley Dve, Doonan, saw open homes by appointment only. This was during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Yet in a three-day period they were doing back-to-back inspections at one-hour intervals.

Interest in the property, known as The Red Barn, was from Sydney and overseas by virtual inspections, as well as local.

There were multiple offers from five groups after looking for interest over $1.095m.

They got well in excess of that.

The locals were all typified people living on the coast and looking to move to small acreage.

The local bidder threatened to throw his bidding paddle in twice but kept coming back. Yet there was no coming back at $3.960m with the apartment going to Brisbane buyers.

It was a record-breaking sale price, Mr Offermann said.

“It was a joyous occasion for the buyer, and the sellers who were locked down in Victoria.’’

Mr Offermann said July was another busy month characterised by a surplus of buyers for the small number of properties available.

“This uptick in activity is a continuation of the lifestyle decisions made by people as a result of Covid 19 restrictions.

“At some point we will see that activity fade, but at the moment it looks like August will also be a hectic month for our real estate agents.’’

SEA CHANGERS HEAD FOR THE TREES It’s becoming a trend - people who made the sea change to the coast over the past 10-15 years are now heading for the hinterland.

Graham Smith of Hinternoosa and colleague Kess Prior have been kept busy in recent months finding properties for this new phenomenon.

And it’s something Graham and his wife Lisa are getting caught up with. They have bought 32acres in the Obi Obi Valley to give themselves some space and privacy.

“This is what’s starting to happen,’’ Graham said. “People are looking ... reassessing their life.

“It’s almost become a trend. We are dealing with people who moved up to the Sunshine Coast.

“Melbourne buyers are out of the equation at the moment.

“The trend is for people from Maroochydore to Noosa Heads, who came for the sea change are now looking for a tree change.

Some interesting properties to look for is a nice home with good fencing on 25acres at 161 Dath Henderson Rd, Tinbeerwah.

The other is a 2.5acre block with subdivision potential and a really good three-bedroom, one-bathroom eclectic rustic cottage at 12 Meadow Ct, Doonan.

BUYERS STEP FORWARD AT SAILFISH CT Noosaville has become a big hotspot for buyers at the moment, and it’s not just waterfront position that is driving the market.

Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate sold the renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 3 Sailfish Ct prior to last Saturday’s scheduled auction.

“It was a huge campaign with over 60 separate groups coming through during the past 28 days,’’ Ms Chen said.

“The highest open home attendee number was 17 groups on the week before auction, with the other weeks having 14, 11 and 10.

“A number of parties enquired about making offers prior auction.

“The successful buyers stepped forward following our open home last Saturday.

“A young professional couple from Sydney looking to relocate here to Noosa seeing more value here on the Coast than in the cities.

“Both buyer and seller are thrilled with the result.’’

While the marketing gent was unable to disclose the price yet, she said it was a strong offer that fitted the owners’ situation.

“They were happy to conclude a sale with an unconditional auction contract seven days out from auction day.’’

Buyers are seeing value in properties that offer nothing to do, Ms Chen said.

“The $700,000 - $1.1m is going mental at the moment. It’s a bracket that all demographics can afford.

“It was also felt on my property at 49 Bushlands Dr property two weeks ago.

“After only six days on the market I had nine buyers request to see it before the first open home, and 18 groups at the open home.

“It resulted in a multi-offer situation concluding the Saturday afternoon with six signed contracts submitted.

“That was a completely renovated home as well, with nothing to do.

“Surprisingly, four of the six contracts on a property listed for $739,000 were first home buyers.’’

FIRST TIME TO MARKET IN 26 YEARS Sharon McLure of Laguna Real Estate has a property at 9 Harmony Ct, Cooroibah, that is being taken to auction this month that she describes as “a little ripper.’’

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house is on 4300sq m of level, useable land in a quiet cul-de-sac and only five minutes from town.

Harmony Ct is a great little street and there is also a large shed on the property.

“The sellers have held onto the land for 26 years,’’ Ms McLure said. “It will go under the hammer.

“It’s a great opportunity for someone to enter the market, or to use as an investment and rebuild at a later stage.’’

The auction will be on Saturday, 29 August at midday.

Ms McLure, who has been selling in Noosa for almost 10 years, said that in these current market conditions, auctions should definitely be considered when selling.

“We’re seeing at least four bidders at auctions with cash ready and wishing to secure their Queensland dream.

“With limited stock and multiple offers on properties, the auction process has never been stronger for our sellers.

“In a market with multiple buyers and pricing being so important, why place a ceiling on the figure. “Auctions work from entry level properties to high end.

“The lending criteria has tightened dramatically with the finance clauses stretching out. Banks are not even getting to the request for 21 days.

“Cash-ready buyers have the upper hand in this market.’’

SOMETHING DIFFERENT AT SUNSHINE Julie Bengtsson of Tom Offermann Real Estate has been getting a good response to open homes and private inspections at 56 Elanda St, Sunshine Beach The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool is set to go to auction Saturday at midday.

“The house is in a fantastic location not far from the beach,’’ Ms Bengtsson said, “but it’s not your normal contemporary

139 Valley Dve, Doonan, recently sold. home.

“Local and Brisbane people are inspecting. It’s an opportunity for someone to get in and put their stamp on the property, make some changes.

“They can either have it as a getaway or a family home.

“You would have to take the cricket bat and stumps down the beach though.

“The courtyard at the back is a huge paved area and swimming pool.

“It’s a multi-level home that includes a mezzanine ... a retreat with ocean views that would be an ideal place to work or relax.’’

FAMILY FAVOURITE AT TEWANTIN Greg Smith of Select Noosa has been getting constant numbers through the fourbedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 39 Shields St, Tewantin, ahead of the auction this Saturday at 1pm.

“We have seen good numbers all through the week,’’ he said.

“Interest has been mainly local but there has also been a a fair bit from interstate, who are hoping for it to be passed in.

“Saying that, friends and family have coming through on their behalf.’’

Apart from the design of the house, much of the appeal has been that it sits on 1014sq m and has a three-car garage with high ceilings.

“It’s rare to get a property this size with views of Lake Doonella,’’ Mr Smith said, “and all the living areas.

“The house has polished hardwood floors in combination with polished concrete floors, an open fireplace, surround

sound and air-conditioning.

“The pool is placed really well to get the northerly sun of a morning.

“It’s a very solid home that offers fourbedrooms plus a study and media room.

“And it’s actually got a back yard.’’

WATERFRONT UNIT SELLS PRIOR The two-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront unit at 4/7 Peza Court, Noosa Heads, has sold prior to auction with Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate.

“We had great interest and a strong offer came in from Brisbane buyers which the owner snapped up,’’ she said.

PROXIMITY AND PRIVACY It’s a beautiful home, in a hinterland setting but with the comfort of town services in Elysium estate at Noosa Heads.

Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 14 Sanctuary Ave, Noosa Heads, was central to everything - Noosaville, Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach - yet peaceful and quiet.

“It’s a lovely home, and you can enjoy magnificent sunsets.

“There is a really nice feel to it, as well as street appeal. It would suit a family as well as retirees.

“There is a lap pool as well as tennis courts as part of the Rec Club.’’

The property, that goes to auction August 15 at midday, is attracting interest from overseas and local as well as Brisbane.

“They like the proximity and privacy,’’ Mr TeWhata said.

ON THE COVER

SPECTACULAR VIEWS FROM BELLE ON THE RIVER LIVING the good life doesn’t get much better than a penthouse, set sublimely in the dress circle position on Gympie Terrace, with eagle-eye views over an abundance of nature from the jetty-dotted Noosa River to meandering pathways and parkland, taking centre stage.

Step inside and be immediately entranced by the design aesthetic, albeit a cool collected nod to the Bahamas.

Bright natural light invites itself in via banks of glass sliders, timber shutters and venetians, before spilling in a dappled kind of way, over bamboo flooring in the expansive living and dining spaces.

Adding a greater effect whilst achieving a strong sense of place is the harmonious connection to outdoors. The immediate focus is on the massive, totally private terrace where effortless entertaining is a breeze. It narrows as it wraps around and stretches the width of the penthouse on the northerly side. It is such a happy place for morning coffee, sun worshippers, also sundowners whilst drinking in the most magical views of the riverfront and listening to a chorus from the rainbow lorikeets.

Those with a penchant for cooking will agree the large U-shaped kitchen with light timber cabinetry, pearlized black granite benchtops, breakfast bar and premium appliances has it all.

Apart from the river views from the master suite at the end of the terrace, it has a walk-in robe and a contemporary bathroom with natural-hued porcelain tiles, walk-in shower, and a spa bath. Two queen size bedrooms share a similarly styled bathroom and separate toilet.

The immensely popular Colonial Resort Noosa has been cleverly designed with 19 apartments surrounding an enormous heated pool which has recently been refurbed with a water feature, upgraded large barbeque pavilion/entertaining area, spa, kid’s wading area and sauna.

“The location along the Noosa River’s “golden mile” as it’s called, really is second to none,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller, who’s taking the penthouse to auction on Saturday 8 August.

“A warm amenable climate and a town brimming with natural assets turns holidaymakers into property buyers. Many will just not compromise on having an exclusive address with the hottest being north facing. Sundrenched especially in winter, it affords the convenience of being in the hub with everything wonderful to eat, see and do, yet safe in the knowledge the investment is underpinned by a neverending pool of future buyers also wanting the same.” ●

PREMIER LOCATION ON NOOSA RIVER DOES paradise with year-round beautiful weather plus turquoise sea and your own white sandy beach at your doorstep, sound too good to be true? How about a totally enviable toes-in-the-water investment opportunity to embrace a laidback beach lifestyle with on-trend bars and cafes, sophisticated boutiques and wide expanses of national parks and surf breaks? Only in Noosa!

Perfectly located in prestigious Quamby Place only minutes to Noosa Main Beach in one direction, and Noosaville’s Gympie Terrace the other way, is Sun Lagoon. It’s appropriately named because the Resort has purposely been designed to take advantage of its highly coveted Noosa riverfront position with extensive views, whichever way you look.

Enter this renovated 2-bedroom, split level apartment and admire the neutral hues of the interior design and quality furniture, noting how the open plan living and dining space seamlessly connect to the large covered balcony. Step forward and be impressed by a view of the green park below with white sandy beach fronting the sparkling lagoon, with pontoon

and anchored boats, out to the Noosa River and beyond.

The views continue from the carpeted master bedroom with ensuite, which like

the many other windows in the apartment, are fitted with banks of bright white plantation shutters.

Adjacent to the living space is a

galley-style kitchen with 2-pac cabinetry, stone bench tops and all the necessary appliances and serving ware, to dish up casual as well as hearty family meals.

To the right of the entry, up a couple of stairs is another queen size bedroom, this time with northerly views over the two stunning recently renovated pools, spa, sun terraces, barbeque area and gardens, the tennis court and out to the river across to the Noosa Spit.

Adjoining the second bedroom is a bathroom with laundry facilities.

“There’s no denying the on-site managers have thought of everything when it comes to their guests holiday experience,” extols Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eric Seetoo, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 29 August 2020. “Amongst myriad offerings, they have kayak, paddle board, bicycles and tennis court hire, bookings for tours and attractions and with Quamby Place home to renowned restaurants and cafes, a bottle shop, general store and a stop for the Noosa Ferry, I cannot think of a better investment opportunity.” ●

HOME FOCUS

QUITE UNIQUE - VACANT LAND WITH POOL FEW and far between are vacant blocks to be found in the Tewantin area, let alone with an in-ground pool already on it.

Take this opportunity to build your dream home without the expense and hassle of putting in a pool on this level 600m2 block with park reserve along the right hand and rear boundary.

Land dimensions are about 19-metres wide and 32-metres depth.

The story with this land is the owners of 4 Daintree Way purchased this land, 2

Daintree Way years ago to put a large pool on it (11m x 5m) a worthwhile sized pool to exercise in and have fun in.

There is a water feature at one end of the pool, built-in sun umbrella to swing over the pool for some cover from the sun, large area of timber decking around the pool for your sun loungers and outdoor furniture.

Pool pump/chlorinator is hidden away in a small garden shed protected from the elements of the weather. â&#x2014;?
