The Indigenous stories that can be tapped into locally are wonderful and we believe there are unbounded opportunities.” about furthering the scheme. But all involved have emphasised that the sensitivity surrounding the idea of resettlement means that progress will be slow and careful. They also stressed to Noosa Today that the Indigenous tourism initiatives and the idea of resettlement were in no way interdependent.

To understand why return to country is such a sensitive and emotive issue, you only

have to look at history. In the late 1890s there were thought to be several hundred Kabi Kabi living in the area that would become Noosa Shire, far outnumbering the European population, but a decade later there were none, due to the passing of the Queensland Aboriginals Protection Act of 1897.

This disgraceful legislation was the handiwork of one Archibald Meston, who had been

appointed “Southern Protector of Aborigines” while still running a “Wild Australia” touring show that blatantly exploited them. Meston recommended that First Nations people be segregated from the European population to protect them from alcohol and opium and give them “instruction in industrial habits”.

An ambitious Indigenous tourism initiative may help to see the resettlement in Noosa of Kabi Kabi families whose descendants were forcibly removed from their traditional country more than a century ago.

Already several young Kabi people from the Cherbourg Aboriginal Community, two hours west of Noosa, are living in the shire during the week while completing land management traineeships working with Noosa and District Landcare at Pomona. And while the community groups working on the resettlement concept are reluctant to discuss details at this very early stage, Noosa Today understands that the Landcare traineeships are regarded as a pilot program for what might develop.

In an exclusive interview with Noosa Today this week, Noosa Shire Council CEO Brett de Chastel said: “We’ve been in conversations with the Kabi Kabi about the Yurol/Ringtail Creek area and how guided tours might evolve there. There’s a large cohort of Kabi that live at Cherbourg who are from country and want to return (to Noosa), and while there would be many avenues of employment for them, educational tourism is certainly a big one. One of the major growth areas of tourism is experience travel, and the more local and authentic it is, the more people love it. The Indigenous stories that can be tapped into locally are wonderful and we believe there are unbounded opportunities.”

Tourism Noosa’s Indigenous Tourism manager Juanita Terry Bloomfield said that, funding permitting, she was looking at a five-year plan to upskill and employ as many as 15 Kabi cultural tour guides who would work in different parts of the extensive Noosa Trail Network as well as the Noosa Headland walk. “Obviously, there are a lot of variables to consider at the moment, but I think that is a realistic time frame,” she said. “There is certainly the will to make it happen. As far as resettlement of families is concerned, that would be something for careful consideration by the Kabi community, but providing local share accommodation for individual tourism workers makes a lot of practical sense.”

Although the stakeholder groups recently missed out on a substantial government Indigenous tourism grant to establish the Headland walks program, Ms Terry Bloomfield and Kabi spokesperson Brian Warner were deep in talks with Noosa Council representatives last week

Rolf Wehrend dreams of getting onto the beach; something he hasn’t been able to do for almost a decade.

It’s the first place the Morningside local wants to visit now he has received his new motorised beach wheelchair from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in June.

Rolf, who has a spinal cord injury and has used a wheelchair for 40 years, last visited the beach during a visit to Bargara in 2011. However, he found it difficult with a manual wheelchair.

“I grew up at Peregian Beach and used to surf and swim. I love the water and beach fishing, but usually I have to stay on the dunes or pathway,” he said.

With his new versatile wheelchair, Rolf can’t wait to visit the Sunshine Coast, but will give it a shot even closer to home to test it out first.

“The wheelchair is like a four-wheel-drive on the sand. I may go visit the Sunshine Coast to test it on the beach, but I am also waiting on a trailer as well to cart it around.

“From my home I will be able to get it into a taxi, so I may take it to Wynnum first to give it a try.”

Rolf also accesses other NDIS supports, including wheelchair repairs, a humidifier, a shower chair and consumables.

“I wouldn’t be able to pay for all this equipment myself, so having the NDIS is great,” he said.

Rolf received assistance to apply for and implement his NDIS funding from Carers Queensland’s NDIS Local Area Coordination Partner in the Community Program for the Brisbane region.

The editor’s desk Panic broke out in Noosa this week when two teenage girls, who later tested negative, had travelled from a Sydney hotspot to Noosa Civic and threatened our Covid-free environment.

So far we have been either lucky or well prepared.This week a Council meeting praised a business roundtable with access to all levels of government established early in the pandemic threat that set out a blueprint to proceed, with the help of former World Health Organisation doctor Ian Norton, who has now travelled to Melbourne to assist.

The possibility of infection being brought into the area this week showed both how easily and quickly it may appear and how prepared the community is to deal with it.

But how close is the world to creating a vaccine to return our lives to some sort of normal?

According to a recent Lancet magazine the development of a vaccine has become a race between the humans and the virus.

Around the world there are 250 possible vaccines being developed with at least 17 in clinical trials and worldwide forums have been formed to link scientists to vaccine findings.

Among them the British Medical Journal reports a University of Oxford vaccine has been trialled in Brazil and Africa.

This week there were reports Australia was in talks to secure this vaccine. We’re getting closer.

Satanic Mass to be held at Halloween

By Margaret Maccoll The Noosa Temple of Satan are exerting their rights to free speech and freedom of religion in hosting their first Satanic Black Mass at The J Theatre on Friday 30 October to mark the occasion of Halloween.

Organiser and local political activist Robin Bristow or as he is known in the organisation, Brother Samael Demo-Gorgon, believes Noosa’s event may be the first public black mass in Queensland.

Robin said the organisation was not affiliated with any other Satanic group but shared similar values which Satanic Australia which does not worship or believe in a literal deity but views Satan as a powerful metaphor for rebellion against arbitrary authority, as well as a champion of enlightenment, advocating for critical thought and reason, even when in opposition to popular opinion.

They share similar ideals such as wanting to encourage political awareness, combating religious authority in politics and strive to support causes that would bring greater access to reproductive health and euthanasia, the decriminalisation of illegal drug use as well as causes that would restrict the influence of religious institutions over public schools and other public spaces.

The black mass follows a Halloween on Hastings Street event held last year that attracted much attention including thousands of Facebook followers.

As MC or priest Robin will lead the black mass in a “standard black mass ritual” based on ones to be found online in a style aimed to “appeal to a lot of people” and hopefully include the presence of a well-known Brisbane performer.

“Satan has great plans for the Principality of Noosa and Australia,” he said.

“Join us in fellowship as we perform this ancient ritual where the Dark Lord is summoned through Satanic invocations.

“Our resplendent altar will symbolise our own personal life journey. You are invited to place sacred items on the altar for blessing.”

With Queensland Government Covid-19 recovery funds of $1.83m Noosa Council plans to fast track the construction of a domestic violence shelter under a rarely used tender consideration plan.

At Council’s Services and Organisation Committee meeting on Tuesday councillors discussed plans for the two-three bedroom house, including a safe room, to be built at an undisclosed location.

Arrested teens test negative

By Abbey Cannan

Robin Bristow known as Brother Samuel Demo Gorgon Robin has invited local politicians and praised the efforts of the LNP Government and Prime Minister Scott Morrison for their work on religious freedom.

“Thanks to the concerted efforts of our PM there has been a phenomenal growth of satanism in Australia,” he said.

“In particular we would like to thank Liberal Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells for her speech to parliament stating she would like

Australians “to have freedom of religion, either individually or in community with others, in public or private to manifest one’s religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching.”

The Noosa Satanic black mass will be held from 6pm Friday 30 October.

Plans underway for domestic shelter

By Margaret Maccoll

NEWS

The house to be built to provide accommodation for women and children leaving domestic violence situations will be fitted with Crime-Safe security screens, a covered outdoor area and undercover security.

Cr Frank Wilkie said following market research four local contractors had been identified and approached already to tender for the facility under the restrictive process that would require they sign strict confidentiality clauses.

Council CEO Brett de Castell said the ten-

der consideration plan enabled Council to go to tender for a prescribed number of tenders for a development requiring confidentiality.

A public request-for-tender process was considered an unacceptable risk by potentially compromising the confidential nature of the project, particularly the location of the accommodation.

Council heard the funding required the project be completed by 30 June 2021.

However Council was told the project was planned to be wrapped up by the end of March.

Police detained two young women who travelled from New South Wales at Noosa Civic Centre on Monday after they breached Queensland border rules.

The teenage girls, aged 15 and 16, arrived from a Covid-19 hotspot in Sydney before the Queensland border closure over the weekend.

Police were looking for the two girls for 24 hours in regards to breaches of the Covid direction.

After being detained, Queensland police and the Department of Child Safety monitored the teenagers in hotel quarantine on the Sunshine Coast.

“We became aware of two young ladies who entered through Brisbane and made their way to the Sunshine Coast,“ Superintendent Craig Hawkins said.

“These two ladies arrived into Queensland last week however they had come from a hotspot.

“There has been a lot of hysteria around it but it is important to remember that these young ladies have not been diagnosed with Covid but we are taking precautions.“ There was a large amount of speculation online as to what was occurring at the Noosa Civic Centre on Monday, causing unnecessary hysteria on social media.“There has been quite an amount of concern in the Noosa area and there is no need for that concern,“ Hawkins said.

“The best way to treat that (speculation) is to make contact with 13HEALTH to get accurate information, but we are certainly grateful for the support of the community to bring these things to our attention, but the important thing is probably not to overreact and bring it to the authority and we can deal with it in the appropriate way.“ Despite the speculation online, both young women tested negative to the Covid-19 disease.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles discussed the situation in parliament on Tuesday.

“Yesterday we learned two teenagers had not fully declared where they had been, from Sydney into our state,” he said.

“They were stopped in Noosa. They have tested negative for Covid-19.

“I want to again thank our police and emergency workers manning our borders which includes airports and train stations.”

As of Tuesday, no charges had been laid against the teenagers, as police investigations continued.

Patrick a hero times two

By Jim Fagan It was 4am on Thursday, May 18, and Patrick Odore was happily sleeping at his home in Sunshine Beach, unaware that in an hour he would be battling, in pitch blackness, rough five metre high waves and pummelling 45 to 50 knot south easterlies on Coast Guard Noosa cutter, John Waddams.

And be on his way to being awarded the National Commodore’s Gold Award for heroism and becoming the first volunteer in the Noosa flotilla to receive it twice as well as joining the elite club of dual winners in the Coast Guard movement throughout Australia!

Patrick’s crew, John Bamworth, Gary Fletcher and Michael Birch, were also telephoned that night — a man had been swept overboard from the stern of a fishing trawler at Barwon Bank, a well-known fishing area, and they were needed.

By 5am they were crossing the Noosa River bar and it took them nearly three hours in the atrocious conditions to cover the 45kms to reach the trawler.

“When the trawler skipper heard the man had disappeared, he immediately dropped life jackets,” Patrick told Noosa Today. “When we arrived, we then joined him and the Water Police in a search pattern that covered nearly eight square kilometres.

“We searched until fading light but, unfortunately, we didn’t find the man. All we found were the life jackets.”

Part of the crew’s citation reads: “Congratulations on an outstanding display of seamanship and dedication were given by the Water Police who said, ‘We were having difficulties in our brand new 25 metre patrol boat and were constantly surprised to see that vessel less than half our size and manned by volunteers was able to continue the search in such conditions. “’It made us realise how much Australia relied upon the dedication of volunteers who could always be relied on to perform their duties in the most of difficult of situations.’”

Marseille to live Noosa in 1988. “My father had a 10-metre boat and I spent a lot of younger days on the water. I thought of joining the Coast Guard but felt it might cost too much.

“One day I was at Noosa Woods and I was asked to buy a ticket in a Coast Guard raffle. I got talking and, when I heard everyone was a volunteer, I set about joining.

“That was 20 years ago and I’ve loved every minute.”

Patrick’s first National Gold Certificate was awarded for the rescue of three crew members from the 14-metre yacht, Ausmaid, on April 7, 2009.

A dual Sydney to Hobart handicap winner, Ausmaid was a few miles south of Double island Point sailing in extremely bad weather about 1.30pm when a huge wave, estimated at

10-11metres high rolled her over, breaking her mast The skipper was injured and, when she righted herself, the crew called for help. A helicopter was sent out for the skipper and Patrick and his crew left on the John Waddams to save the two crew members.

“I was shopping with my wife Sharon when I got the call. When we got there, we got a tow line to them to take them to safer water at Laguna Bay but the helicopter pilot asked if I wanted the crew taken off. I agreed as we had a very bad following sea and no communication.

“We resumed our tow but the weather closed in and I decided to take the Ausmaid to Little Cove but our troubles weren’t over yet.

“As we prepared to anchor the tow line parted, injuring one of our crew members. We anchored the yacht and took the crew man back

to headquarters at Munna Point where an ambulance was waiting.”

Sadly, it wasn’t a happy ending for the Ausmaid. The next morning Patrick found the yacht wasn’t in the bay but had been found on North Shore beach. One of the flukes on her anchor had bent and she had been dragged off her seabed.

“When I saw her, she was sitting upright on the sand and I realised her keel was broken.

My heart sunk and I had a lump in my throat to see such a beautiful boat in such a sorry state.”

The bravery of the four Coast Guard Noosa volunteers who went to the aid of a crew member swept overboard from a fishing trawler off Barwon Bank in May was recognised at a flotilla meeting at Munna Point headquarters on Monday night.

Learning about Wide Bay’s Second World War veterans erans, widows and family members who moved here in later years and now call Wide Bay home,” Mr O’Brien said.

“Almost one million Australians served in the Second World War, protecting our country and defending our freedom, and each person has a unique story that deserves to be recorded and remembered.

“As a community we all have a job to do - to ensure these stories live on and that we never forgot the role of everyone in Wide Bay who served overseas or on the home front in the Second World War.” Mr O’Brien encouraged people to start by looking into their own family’s military service history, and from there, extend their

research to the Second World War more broadly.

“Everyone should take a moment to ask a question about the Second World War, whether that is about a family member who served, or just wanting to learn more about the six years that changed Australia’s history,” Mr O’Brien said.

To make research easier, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has brought together all of its nominal rolls, including the Second World War nominal roll, into one website to make it easier to search and find information on those Australians who served in this war.

“The National Archives of Australia is also

working to digitise all of its Second World War service records and the Australian War Memorial has a wide range of useful information available with just the click of a mouse button,” Mr O’Brien said..

“DVA’s Anzac Portal also has a range of historical educational resources free for download - commemorating the war from an Australian point of view.”

The wreck of Vincent in the Noosa river.

Wreck war hits halfway Maritime Safety Queensland’s War on Wrecks campaign reached halfway point with the recent removal of the derelict houseboat Vincent from the Noosa River and the scheduling of a forum.

This was one of more than 609 removals state-wide since the four-year $20 million program began.

Maritime Safety Queensland general manager Angus Mitchell said the 9.6 metre, rusting steel and timber vessel was slowly deteriorating on the seabed off Goat Island, creating a

significant navigational and environmental hazard.

“The removal and clean-up was undertaken by a local contractor at a cost of over $22,000 supporting four jobs at a time when work is most needed,“Mr Mitchell said.

“A second vessel of concern was removed from the Noosa River by the owner as part of the War on Wrecks program.“ Maritime Safety Queensland has identified five more derelicts in the Sunshine Coast region and is carefully monitoring another five

From very humble beginnings in 2010, Sunshine Butterflies has grown from a handful of members and just a few staff, to one of Noosa Shire’s biggest employers, with more than 90 staff.

Originally operating from a garage, before moving into a shed in Bartlett Street Noosaville in 2012, the organisation has continued to grow at a steady pace until 2019 when the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) came into play, bringing with it a huge demand for their services.

Since then Sunshine Butterflies has grown exponentially, employing many more staff, with increased demand for more transport vehicles and expanded facilities.

Their membership has since grown to over 100 active members with a waiting list, and they now offer a vast range of services far above and beyond what they ever dreamt of.

Sunshine Butterflies now offers a comprehensive range of daily Recreational, Educational and Life Skills programs, a vast range of Therapy and Wellbeing programs, including Animal Assisted Therapy, as well as In-Home Support services, supported holidays, Weekend Respite, and Community Support.

They also now manage three Supported Independent Living properties and are currently assisting several members to transition to living independently.

For Founder and CEO Leanne Walsh, it’s a dream come true.

“I can’t believe it’s been 10 years,“ she said.

“I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved as an organisation and of this incredible facility we have built in just six years.

Wave pool application

By Margaret Maccoll An application to build a wave pool and detached house on Beach Road, Noosa North Shore, raised much interest and several questions at Monday’s Noosa Council meeting.

Council’s Environment and Planning Meeting heard the application put forward by Teatree Property was for a two-bedroom house and 4000sqm wave pool with the facility to accommodate up to 12 people.

Cr Tom Wegener said as a surfer he knew there was a lot of interest in the project in the community.

Mayor Clare Stewart questioned the ability of accommodating 12 people in a two-bedroom house and asked about the potential of accommodation on the site defined as Visitor Accommodation Type 3 - Rural.

Council was told Council’s 2006 plan would have allowed up to six cabins on the site and despite state government mapping of the site’s koala habitat and priority area, under the new Noosa Plan the site would probably be allowed up to six cabins.

Wave pool plan for Noosa North Shore Councillors questioned the impact on ferry services and the amenity of local residents of the construction and filling of the lagoon pool, estimated to require 300 water deliveries.

Council heard as a construction plan had not yet been received the impact was unknown but other options to fill the pool had been raised and included pumping from the river and

trucking to the site which was considered problematic or filling by rain which officers expected would take about a year and be unviable.

Council officers have recommended the project be refused because it was not considered to comply with the definition of Visitor Accommodation Type 3 - Rural, and is better defined as a Detached House, whilst the la-

goon/wave pool was viewed as a main attraction more appropriately defined as Entertainment and dining business - Type 2 Recreation, amusement and fitness.

Council considers: “the proposal relies on built infrastructure as the main attraction to the site, and therefore is not consistent with the desired outcomes for Noosa’s tourism industry set out in The Noosa Plan, which aims to encourage tourism based on Noosa’s natural assets to enhance the understanding of Noosa’s environmental values. The lagoon/wave pool component of the development would result in adverse impacts on the environmental values of the area, with the proposal to clear at least 1.3 hectares of threatened species habitat of high value regrowth vegetation, and potential to pollute a wetland with high ecological values through the disposal of waste water.

The proposal also requires significant excavation of an area affected by acid sulfate soils�.

The project application was referred to Council’s General Meeting next Monday for further discussion.

Home coming comes with hopes of return to country From page 1 From 1901 the Kabi Kabi and other southern Queensland Indigenous groups were forcibly removed from their homes and settled on a section of the Barambah Station that became known as Barambah Industrial School, although it was run as a mission by the Salvation Army and very little was taught there, even when it was taken over by the government. The name was later changed to Cherbourg. For decades the Cherbourg population suffered poor rations, little or no health care and were hired out as slave la-

bour on surrounding stations.

Today at Cherbourg the Ration Shed Museum stands as a testament to those sorry times, but while self-government as Queensland’s most southerly Aboriginal Shire Council has fostered pride and a sense of community, the sad fact is that Cherbourg is Australia’s most disadvantaged community, while Noosa is among the most advantaged. The most recent Socio-Economic Index for Australia (SEIFA) 2016 lists Cherbourg last in economic resources and education, resulting in significant attendant social prob-

lems. Almost half the descendants who make up the Kabi Kabi Native Title claim currently live in Cherbourg.

Interaction between the communities of Noosa and Cherbourg is not a new idea.

Sporting ties were pioneered by Noosa Heads surf club, which organises surfing and swimming trips to the coast for disadvantaged kids, while on the political level, during the last Noosa Council, the mayors of the two shires formed closer ties and jointly presented a motion of support for the Uluru Statement From The Heart at the Local Gov-

ernment Association of Queensland annual conference last October. It was overwhelmingly passed.

Meanwhile, a position paper for submission to the New Noosa Plan on the feasibility of establishing a Kabi Kabi Indigenous housing trust within the shire was presented to Noosa Council last year.

Hopefully now the scale of Noosa’s Indigenous tourism initiative takes the potential for closer ties, employment, and, eventually, for a return to country for those who desire it, to a new and historic level.

Cross-border drug bust Police have charged five people in relation to drug trafficking and dismantled a national drug syndicate after a series of search warrants in Queensland and Victoria were executed on Wednesday.

Simultaneous search warrants were executed at Inala, Oxley and Sumner in Queensland, and Cairnlea, St Albans and Hampton in Victoria, with a substantial amount of drugs and cash being located.

During the searches, conducted by the Drug and Serious Crime Group, in conjunction with officers from the Victoria Police Crime Command, detectives seized 400 cannabis plants, a quantity of cannabis, over $30,000 in cash and number of mobile phones and sim cards.

Lead by the State Crime Command’s Drug

and Serious Crime Group, Operation Sierra Stayer commenced in December 2019 to investigate a national organised crime group trafficking dangerous drugs across QLD, VIC and WA borders.

Throughout the operation, police seized 195kg of cannabis and 424 cannabis plants, with a combined value of approximately $2,298,650.00. Total cash seizures are over $241,000.00.

A 31-year-old Inala man was charged with trafficking a commercial quantity of drugs and possession of a dangerous drug, he was also issued with two arrests warrants for offences relative to five cannabis grow-houses and trafficking in a dangerous drug. He appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates court yesterday.

A 38-year-old Cairnlea man and a 32-yearold St. Albans man were charged with trafficking a commercial quantity of drugs and will appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on 18 September 2020.

A 29-year-old St. Albans man was charged in relation to a Victorian Arrest Warrant issued for cultivate cannabis. He will appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on 30 September 2020.

A 22-year-old St. Albans man was charged with cultivate and possess cannabis. He will appear in the Sunshine Magistrates Court on 2 March 2021.

Detective Superintendent Col Briggs from the Drug and Serious Crime Group said the outcomes were significant and highlighted the

excellent cooperation between jurisdictions.

“This group had the capability to transport a significant amount of drugs across QLD, VIC and WA, but these arrests prove that offenders will always be caught, no matter how sophisticated they think their operations are.

“We worked closely with investigators and intelligence officers in the Western Australia Police Force and Victoria Police, sharing information and strategies capable of working across state boundaries to ensure the successful disruption of this national crime syndicate.

“The evolving COVID-19 restrictions doesn’t affect the work we do, we are still actively targeting drug syndicates and organised criminal behaviour,” Detective Superintendent Briggs said.

Charges over double smash and grab Police have charged a man following the investigation into two break and enters where a van was used to gain entry to separate businesses on the Sunshine Coast on August 5.

It will be alleged at 3.20am, a white Toyota HiAce was reversed into the glass doors of a photographic and electrical store on Plaza Parade in Maroochydore.

The sole occupant then entered the store and smashed multiple glass cabinets, before stealing cameras and equipment.

It will be further alleged around an hour later the same van was used to smash the glass doors of a Caloundra Road machinery business in Caloundra West.

Around 3.30pm detectives attended an Echidna Court address in Landsborough where a man fled from the house.

He was located a short time later hiding in a creek by a police dog.

A 23-year-old Landsborough man has been charged with two counts each of break and enter and one count each of possession of tainted property (registration plates), pos-

session of a dangerous drug (cannabis) and drive unaccompanied on a learner’s licence.

He appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Protection works begin Sunshine Coast Council has completed the first stage of work to help maintain and protect the Cotton Tree coastline from erosion.

Stage one works on the Maroochy Groyne Renewal Project started in April 2020. More than 1800 geotextile containers filled with sand—also known as geobags—were used to build a seawall and two groynes which will interrupt wave action, capture sand and provide an erosion buffer.

The largest of the geobags are filled with 11 tonnes of sand—about the weight of eight cars.

Stage one of the project focussed on renewing the northern-most groyne structures near the Cotton Tree Holiday Park.

Stage two of the project is scheduled to take place in 2021 and will focus on the two southern-most groyne structures (Groyne #1 and #2).

Sunshine Coast Council Coastal Engineer Georgia Keeshan said geobags were placed in the area around 2003 after the Maroochy River entrance migrated south in the late 1990s.

“The entrance to the river naturally mi-

grates due to coastal and estuarine processes.

“Structures that were in place to address the erosion require maintenance from time to time to continue to provide protection,” Ms Keeshan said.

Council worked closely with industry specialists including researchers, geobag manufacturers and engineers from the Water Research Laboratory at the University of New South Wales to develop and test the structures prior to use.

“We are pleased to have had the opportunity to work with the research specialists to develop an innovative and effective way to protect the much-loved Cotton Tree precinct,” Ms Keeshan said.

Ms Keeshan said the sand used to fill the new geobags was sourced adjacent to the work site and the sand from the old geobags was used to replenish the beach.

Division 8 Councillor Jason O’Pray said the project had been a long time in the making and was part of council’s 10-year Shoreline Erosion Management Plan.

“Protecting this stretch of coastline and the cherished Cotton Tree precinct is a great achievement and the result of extensive council planning and community consultation,” Cr O’Pray said.

“I feel extremely proud to have been a part of the project from inception and was thrilled to see the final geobag being placed this week.”

Division 4 Councillor Joe Natoli thanked the community for their ongoing support.

“Community input played a significant role in the successful delivery of this project,” Cr Natoli said “I would like to acknowledge everyone who contributed, including the Maroochy River Estuary Consultation Group.”

Students choose slow food over fast food options Under the sublime skies of Noosa’s winter sun, students are learning that slow food, not fast food is the key to a healthy lifestyle.

Slow Food Noosa have partnered with the Noosa Environmental Education Hub (Noosa EEHub) to teach school children across the region how to grow easy and nutritious micro greens thanks to the expert advice of Sharon Koski from The Green Shed in Palmwoods.

“Micro-Greens are highly nutritious and fun to grow, they are a food source that children can easily propagate in containers and reap the rewards in a week,” Sharon Koski said.

Slow Food Noosa have contributed funds to support a number of Noosa schools who

will work to successfully propagate micro greens to sell back to their community.

The Year 2 students at Sunshine Beach State Primary School were the first to learn the tips of the trade from Sharon under their “Good to Grow” curriculum.

“The project is delivering a rich curriculum extension, hands on engaging experience with strong community connections,” Slow Food Noosa president, Carolyn Winkler said.

“Educating our next generation on Slow Food’s ideology of eating local, seasonal and fresh food.”

“The opportunity to partner Slow Food Noosa and further the message of good clean

eating within our school community is very exciting for students and the Hub,” Noosa EEHub director, Annika Patrick said.

“Micro greens are easily grown with minimal space requirement making them perfect for any household.”

Clean-up adventure The Adventure Noosa Group (made up of operators from the Youth & Adventure sector) will reunite to host regular clean-up events around our Noosa Villages as they set sights on aligning themselves with Tourism Noosa green initiative, the Plastic Free Noosa Program.

Every six to eight weeks members of the group will meet up to discuss ideas to boost tourism and entice youth travellers to the Noosa Region, followed by a Plastic Free Noosa clean-up in various Noosa villages.

Commencing in Noosaville on the 19 August, clean-ups will also take place from Noosa Main Beach, Sunshine Beach, Noosa Junction and K-Gari, with members of the community invited to participate in the clean-ups.

Plastic Free Noosa Program Manager, Anita Butler said, “For many of these operators, the majority of their business comes from our international visitors.”

“Despite no international travel for the foreseeable future, this group still somehow manages to ooze positivity and prove how resilience, teamwork and fun can really pull a community together.

“The clean-ups are a great way for the group to connect and now more than ever, these small businesses need our support and we urge the community to get behind them wherever possible.

“Come and join them on the Plastic Free Noosa clean-ups which are proudly sponsored

by Heads of Noosa Brewery, or simply just come and say hi to encourage and meet these local eco-warriors as they forge on into uncertain times,” Ms Butler said.

Sand dune protection works begin Leaders from six local bushcare groups, convened this week to signal the start of rehabilitation works along the 11kms eastern beaches strip, where vegetated dunes provide resilience to the onslaught of coastal erosion, as seen recently in NSW. Team member Rochelle Gooch said the “much-needed” three year ‘Coastal Connect’ project funded by Noosa Council, would enable local contractors to assist Bushcare volunteers to strengthen the dunal bushland between Sunshine and Peregian Beaches.

“The team will be focussed on ensuring healthy foreshore dunes including an emphasis on our coastal creek estuaries at Sunshine, Marcus, Castaways and Peregian, as well as scattered ephemeral ponds throughout the precincts,” she said.

“These works support bushcarers’ ongoing activities. There is an enhanced spirit of co-operation between these bushcare groups who have individually been involved in rehabilitation activities for decades.”

Noosa’s vegetated frontal dunes provide a critical buffer to storm surges and high tide erosion by both legislated setbacks and healthy mature deep-rooted native species - from spinifex and dunal creepers to the Casuarinas and Banksias as well as the larger Tuckeroos and Moreton Bay Ash, she said.

Ophthalmic clinic opens

By Abbey Cannan Australia’s first indigenous ophthalmic surgeon Dr Kristopher Rallah-Baker has recently opened his own private practice in Noosa.

He worked at Noosa Hospital for six months and has opened his own practice as a commitment to providing an ophthalmology service to residents of the Noosa region.

Dr Rallah-Baker said he had received a fantastic response from the community since opening.

“I’ve been working at Noosa Hospital since July or August last year and I really wanted to make a permanent investment and permeant footprint in Noosa and the local community,” he said.

“The patients have been wonderful and I’ve been made very welcome from those patients continuing on at the practice and of course my own patients are happy with the extra room and equipment that I have.”

During Seniors Week, Dr Rallah-Baker said it was particularly important for seniors to make sure that they have good vision.

“Some of the things that can cause reduced vision commonly in our older population are macular degeneration and cataract and I treat both of those things.”

He’d been inspired from the time he was a young boy to join the medical profession, by not only his mother who was a health worker but more widely by the work of Fred Hollows and the dedication that he had to medicine and ophthalmology.

“So I decided very early on at school that

Australia’s first indigenous ophthalmic surgeon Dr Kristopher Rallah-Baker. medicine was the career for me and the fact that it gave me the ability to help people and more specifically these days, help people with their vision, which I think is a real privilege for me to be able to do for people,” he said.

At 18, while in his first year at Medical School, Kris was one of the founding members of the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association (AIDA), an Indigenous medical association for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students and graduates.

Over twenty years later and Dr Rallah-Baker is now a director of AIDA and will be an inspiration and source of support for others.

As a proud Yuggera and Biri-Gubba-Juru/ Yuggera man, Dr Rallah-Baker said it was an honour to be able to hold the title of Australia’s first indigenous ophthalmic surgeon.

“The only way to describe being first in the

Pictures: FRED HOLLOWS FOUNDATION

field is it’s a real honour,” he said.

“I stand on the shoulders of great people before me and it was through the support of my family and amazing people around me and senior consultants that I was able to achieve what I have.

“I’ve been given the opportunities I have in life through the effort of other amazing people around me so it’s a real honour and very humbling.”

Dr Rallah-Baker has seen a number of indigenous patients in the Noosa area, but has also done outreach work more widely across Australia.

During his training at the University of Queensland, Dr Rallah-Baker had the opportunity to work with The Fred Hollows Foundation in Darwin and go into remote communities to provide eye healthcare to Aboriginal communities throughout the Northern Territory.

He also undertook a fellowship with The Fred Hollows Foundation, spending three months working in Fiji and in Alice Springs with Dr Tim Henderson, the only ophthalmologist for more than 50,000 people in the Central Australia and Barkly region.

“When Covid settles down I look forward to doing more outreach work,” Dr Rallah-Baker said.

“I think people are still getting to know that I’m in the area and who I am and I hope that patient group grows in time.

“It’s a comprehensive general ophthalmic practice and I specialise in cataract surgery.

I’d be more than happy to see people coming through and they just need to get a referral from their local optomigist or GP. “It’ll be a real pleasure to serve the Noosa community.”

Go on, just talk about it

By Margaret Maccoll If you’re finding it difficult to talk to your kids about uncomfortable subjects like sex, drugs or suicide Noosa’s Tasha Lawton has made it easy by creating a series of videos for parents and teachers that are informative and relate to young people in ways they understand.

With a background in filmmaking Tasha’s Talk Revolution project began when she made a documentary about menstruation that explored the different ways a woman’s period is viewed in different cultures. When she realised there was no clear and concise information in schools on menstruation Tasha partnered with a health and physical (HP) education teacher to create a program titled Period Talk. The program uses video featuring students talking to students and HP-curriculum teacher notes that work together to deliver the information to young people.

“Teachers can struggle with these kinds of uncomfortable topics,” she said.

“They’re under time pressure.”

Period Time is now being used by 70 schools across the country.

In the past year Tasha has worked with five HP teachers to create seven programs

covering other uncomfortable topics - Sex Talk, Drug Talk, Alcohol Talk, Sexuality Talk, Suicide and Self Care, Eating Disorders and Gender-based violence.

Tasha said the program information in each covers 85 per cent of the HP curriculum and is geared toward students from Years 5-10. The talk programs are also available for use by parents.

The videos have been developed in line with contemporary student communication focused on mobile phones, FaceTime and laptops.

“They’re so used to seeing each other on technology,” she said.

Tasha hopes the programs will enable conversations on these uncomfortable issues, help young people deal with challenges and result in them making better decisions.

The mother of teenagers wished there had been more conversations when she was a youth to assist her to deal with issues including the death of her brother by suicide at the age of 19 and help her make better decisions.

Tasha hopes the programs will be adopted across schools and used by parents.

Focus on SENIORS WEEK

Free events To celebrate Seniors Week from 15 to 23 August a range of free fun events and activities will be held across the region for local seniors to enjoy.

Mayor Clare Stewart said Seniors Week is all about giving our residents the opportunity to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds.

“It’s also about acknowledging our seniors and showing our appreciation for their valued contribution to society,” Cr Stewart said.

“This year marks the 60th year of celebrating Queensland Seniors, and this year, more than ever, people need something to celebrate, in the safest way possible.

“As Covid-19 restrictions have seen many older people isolated from their usual social groups, never has it been more important to ensure people remain connected.

Council’s Community Development manager Alison Hamblin said it is a fantastic opportunity for our seniors to try something new, socialise and have a bit of fun.

“Seniors can come and enjoy a broad range of activities across the region including a range of strength, stability and aqua classes on offer during the week,” Ms Hamblin said.

Pilates can change lives

By Abbey Cannan For seven years, Classical Pilates Noosa owner Karen Waugh-Raphael has been teaching the community true pilates, and still finds the work as inspiring as the day she began.

Karen helps people of all ages, from elderly finding balance or recovering from a stroke, to a young man looking to strengthen his back, and women looking to maintain fitness and tone.

Her classes are restricted to two or three people to ensure each person is given the time, and programs are designed specific to their needs.

Karen said she first learnt pilates twelve years ago after experiencing terrible hip pain.

“I had tried almost everything else, stretching, physio and even yoga. I didn’t want to rely on pain killers,“ Karen said.

“At forty-five I took my first Pilates class. In the nineties I had undertaken a fitness course and was a regular at the gym but I had never experienced anything like Pilates before.

“I fell in love with the way it made me feel and my hip pain was resolved.“ At the age of fifty, Karen decided to start Pilates teacher training so that she could share the fantastic system with others.

“After I finished my training, I was incredibly fortunate to begin working for Australia’s only second generation teacher, Wade Edwell,

at Proper Pilates in Victoria,“ she said.

“There, I learnt the Classical system. The original way that Joseph Pilates himself taught it. To this day I continue my studies and have travelled to the USA and Dubai to take classes and workshops with Jay Grimes, a first generation teacher as well as many other well-known Classical Pilates teachers.“ Karen said Pilates strengthens and lengthens your body; it is a whole-body workout.

“It is especially effective as you get older as it works to increase core strength, balance and flexibility,“ she said.

“Pilates is suitable for people of any age.

At my Studio, I limit classes to two or three

There’s a boutique clinic in Noosa that is booming in popularity, offering the latest pain-free, safe and effective treatments in Non-Surgical Face Lifting, Fat Reduction and Body Contouring.

Along with all the latest treatments, A Slimmer U in Noosa Heads is the first and only clinic on the Sunshine Coast to have Emshape.

Therapist Annie Panatda said this type of treatment was the latest cutting-edge technology device offering a High Intensity Pulsed Electromagnetic Wave.

“These electromagnetic waves go through our body in a non-invasive and painless manner to work on the muscles,” she said.

“Your muscles are forced to contract and work more efficiently than during a voluntary contraction.

“The muscle cells are then highly stimulated, grow and tone your muscle mass plus burn fat.”

Annie said women loved how they felt about themselves after having their treatments, including Fat Reduction and Body Contouring.

“Non-surgical fat reduction supports the feel-good factor,” she said.

HIFU-Ice Non Surgical Face lifting is a pain-free treatment that uses 1.5, 3mm and 4.5mm treatment tips to smooth, lift and tighten your face and neck and also reduce your double chin.

Sleeping rough for homeless A record number of students had a taste of homelessness this year when they took part in their annual Sleep Rough event with the support of the Rotary Club of Cooroy.

On Friday 31 July 83 students from the Cooroy and Pomona campuses of the Noosa District State High School Interact Club slept on cardboard at the Mimburi campus to raise money for Street Swags, an organisation that assist the homeless by providing swags and food.The record number of students raised a record amount of funds of almost $4900.

Interact Club president Tara Bennett said the event was a favourite among students who were enthusiastic about being involved in an event supporting a good cause.

Tara thanked students and teachers for giving up their Friday night to support the cause and Cooroy Rotary members who provided soup for dinner.

“We are very impressed by the commitment of all these young people to help those less fortunate,” Rotary Club of Cooroy president Carol Johnston said. “Every year Cooroy Rotary supports students from Noosa District High School who sleep on cardboard on a cold winter night to experience the difficulties of the homeless.”

Interact Club secretary Tyson Gamble said the night was full of fun with many activities organised including a night walk that enabled students to be immersed in the spectacular environment of Mimburi. “There was also fireplace guitar sing-alongs, board games and challenges,” he said.

Karateka happy as Garry “Happy as Garry” was the immediate response by local karateka, 77-year-old Garry Maher on receiving his 2nd Dan Black Belt Karate Diploma from World Shotokan Karate Federation (WSKF) Australian representative 6th Dan Sensei Bryan Dukes.

Garry, who capped off last year with a gold medal in the Sunshine Coast Karate Challenge, was later invited and successful in his WSKF Black Belt Diploma grading and presented with an additional token of recognition - a WSKF Black Belt on which his name was embroidered in Japanese, before receiving his diploma at a ceremony at Sunshine Coast Martial Arts, Noosaville.

“Every reason to be happy,” Garry said.

“What I found particularly gratifying with this award was the fact that 14 years ago at the age of 64 I took on the challenge of a martial art from a completely different country, a completely different culture and a completely different language. And with a lot of help and support from my wife, Bernadette, chief instructor Bryan Dukas and his instructional staff at Sunshine Coast Martial Arts Noosaville, coupled with patience and dedication on their part and hard work on my part, numerous bruises, a broken nose, a couple of broken bones, a lot of sweat, a little blood and even the odd tear or two, I managed to ‘hang in there’ to the point where that country - Japan and the powers that be in Tokyo recognised my efforts by awarding me this diploma. Somewhat surreal for me.”

Garry who already had several university and other tertiary qualifications including a federal government martial arts teaching qualification ‘under his belt’ found the striving towards this award the most challenging - physically, mentally and spiritually.

“The essence of karate as defined in its Code of Conduct - the ‘Dojo Kun’ becomes a way of life - a way of thinking - continually looking at ways of reducing or eliminating negative attitudes, faults and failings, and looking at ways to improve personal development and growth, all of which overflow into normal everyday thinking and daily life, even when dealing with the now daily changes to government and business policies regarding the managing of COVID19. For me, it’s all about continual improvement physically, mentally and spiritually - not necessarily in a religious sense but a ‘fire in the belly’ attitude to life - that the glass is always half full - not half empty; whether I have a good day or bad day is entirely up to me, it’s a decision I make, and like every other universal catastrophic event, like this pandemic I know it will pass. The one thing I’ve learned throughout this whole karate journey and of which I’m now acutely aware more than ever, is that for me, I still have a long way to go.”

“While the ravages of time and the normal ageing process are starting to become more noticeable, wishing at times I had a grease nipple on some of my joints in which to squirt a shot of WD40 occasionally, I shudder when I think of what I’d be like today had I not taken up karate when I did, training virtually every day since, either my myself at home or at the karate school.

Karate training at home has kept Garry Maher kit and stay positive.

Garry’s 2nd Dan Black Belt Karate Diploma.

“For me, it’s been a lifesaver in so many respects and has helped me considerably during these turbulent, anxious and certainly unhappy times for numerous people. While I might’ve left my run a bit late for inclusion in the Australian Karate Team for the Tokyo Olympics now planned for 2021 there is absolutely nothing stopping me from still training for it and being ready with my can of WD40 just in case of a late call up - you never know,” he adds with a smile.

Garry is convinced that karate has something to offer everybody, irrespective of age or ability but he strongly suggests that anyone in-

professional commitment to its students,” he said.

“I can see why SCMA has been recognised over the past four years by the Queensland Karate Association, as the best karate training school in Queensland evidenced by the number of its local, national and international karate champions. SCMA has helped me realise something I thought impossible - ‘A Black Belt Diploma in the Japanese Martial Art of Shotokan Karate’ signed and issued by Master Hitoshi Kasuya, Chief Instructor, World Shotokan Karate Federation, Tokyo. Why would I not be Happy as Garry?”

terested in taking it up to first seek an opinion or advice from their doctor or health adviser like he did with his GP who granted him permission with the caveat, “Act your age - you’re 77 not 17” thus giving him the green light to continue his training cautiously.

“I’ve worked in many training establishments during my life - police academies, universities, military bases, TAFE colleges, hospitals and private training organisations, and I found SCMA karate instructors and the diversity of programs available, are up there with the best in the preparation, personal attention, dedication (and for me, ‘patience’) and overall

Jackson is also incorrect in claiming that Cr Stewart did not want to rush amendments to the Noosa Plan, because as Noosa Today, and letter Writer Doug Saunders (NT 7/8) pointed out, that is exactly what Cr Stewart wanted to do, rather than wait the two year period that the government has endorsed as the time it will take to trial the the new plan.

Reduce Surplus Fuel Now that the NSW Independent Inquiry into the depth and ferocity of the bushfires which ravaged this country earlier this year, has determined that the major cause was the preponderance of fuel on the ground in forested areas which was a conclusion reached by a Newspoll taken shortly after the disaster ended , I would ask that our Council heed this warning and do something about the surplus of fuel in the Woods at the end of Hastings Street and extensive areas adjacent to the National Park.

As Mayor Stewart was the only candidate at the recent Council elections to state this as one of her policies her awareness can now be acknowledged and the Council would be justified in pursuing such a program.

For a Shire, a State and a country that is eager to acknowledge the worthiness of our First Peoples we can well employ their knowledge and experience in this matter and thereby salute their contribution to our modern society.

After reading Margaret Maccoll’s front page article called ‘Drowning in mud’, I was left feeling angry one more time. This info is really old news. To say otherwise would be completely disingenuous. It has been a well known fact for decades that the river bank erosion has been due to human intervention in settling this area, including agricultural and livestock practices. Add to that the apparent inability of either the NSC or state government to address the constant supply of ‘crap’ into this catchment area from Kin Kin Creek and you get “Voila!”....pollution and death of our once beaut river and its two lakes.

Skilleter isn’t telling those of us that have lived here for decades and love the waterways anything new. Interesting to note that NOTHING in Margaret’s article mentions the continual use of pesticides on properties that are part of the river catchment area.

Then you inject Gloster, Halverson, and Wegener, The Thomas Foundation, AND The Nature Conservancy’s “stamps of approval“ on a self-indulgent project like the BBTF/Oyster Project, and what do you get?... money that lines the pockets of people in this community that disguise themselves as concerned citizens and, once again, a continued ‘talk-fest’ about the mess we’ve created.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Focus on housing stock Today at the Mingle with the Mayor luncheon on homelessness, I will be speaking once again on one of the key contributors to this, and to the increasing poor physical and mental wellbeing, domestic violence and substance abuse statistics across QLD and Australia. That contributor is a lack of affordable housing. Sounds simple? Yes, however a resolution has continued to elude, confuse and frustrate our smartest collaborations, resources and efforts for three decades.

Noosa continues to face significant challenges housing workers and families, as well as associated impacts. Yes, there has been progress, but not enough. Since becoming an MP, I have followed every avenue available, including over electorate boundaries! Identified land and funding sources, spent many months frustrated through ‘suitability’ reviews and internal processes, worked with organisations and individuals, advocated to Ministers, and looked to what options the new Noosa Plan offers. With any planning scheme, it will be up to landholders to make any opportunities a reality, but will they?

Compared to the Australian average, Noosa has a lower proportion of houses in the rental market and the second lowest proportion of public and community housing. Yet, our key industries are casualised and low income, with staff needing ‘affordable’ accommodation. For years, many of our workers have had no option but to ‘shed dwell’ in our hinterland, increasing their travel costs, financial duress and stress, or leave the area. This demonstrates a long-standing chronic under-investment in

Sandy Bolton

community housing and a failure of not only housing and social policy, but also of real economic strategy.

The crisis is acute, make no mistake. Even ‘shock jocks’ have joined in the conversation, touting not only statistics, but the comparisons

of a low 5% of community housing in Australia versus other countries, with some upwards of 20%. This from a simple understanding that to have a healthy community, economy and environment, you need to ensure the components that enable this are in place. And affordable housing is a key component.

Let’s be frank. This is not a one size fits all scenario, we need a variety of housing options.

However, simply building an ‘affordable’ studio, flat or unit, does not guarantee it remains affordable. Once it is in the open market, demand can push the price up, and in Noosa, the demand is high. Therefore, community management is an essential component to ‘affordability’.

Repeating the efforts of the past and expecting different results is folly, yet that is what continues! My key message today will be very simple. It is time for all the reasons why we cannot resolve this to stop. Pandemic or not, we cannot leave it to ‘others’, good intentions, reviews, more studies or ‘maybes’. We must take the culture developed during the emergency phase of COVID-19 and move beyond ‘words’ and processes. This by committing to work on a ‘Noosa Style’ Project, addressing our current crisis, as well in readiness for any additional longer-term impacts resulting from COVID-19. Just imagine what can be achieved between Mayor Clare, myself, key stakeholders and ALL levels of government to tackle roadblocks, outdated notions and underpinning systems that has led us to this! Together we can and must!

A plastic-free future plea The damage done.

water to manufacture one water bottle - what a waste. Some towns and tourist spots around the world - among them our own Bundanoon, and San Francisco and Machu Picchu - have banned PET bottles, and good on them!

Wherever we are from, we should be asking councils to put in more water bubblers in popular meeting areas, as has been done along Gympie Terrace in Noosaville. Maybe then we could also ask our councils to ban the sale of single-use plastic bottles.

We should all use reusable bottles for drinking when out and about. You can buy one for less than $20 so it will pay for itself after four or five uses. Thereafter it is all free.

Don’t take my word alone on the figures.

Check anywhere on the net re manufacturing,

recycling and landfill - www.waterlogicaustralia.com.au and www.earthday.org for starters - and you, like me, will be concerned.

We don’t want to kill our oceans, I hope we can agree on that. Fish and seabirds are very much affected by plastic waste. A lot of small plastic pieces are found in the stomach of seabirds all around the world. And plastic pollution in the water is not always visible unless you travel by boat.

There are five or six major collections of plastic waste in our oceans. These collections are large whirlpools where waste is circling around for years, and in doing so, breaking up the plastic into smaller pieces which are even more dangerous for our wildlife. All our major oceans have them and it is estimated that the

FOR ALL YOUR POOL CARE NEEDS

largest one is the same size as France. And they are growing. Earthday.org estimates that by the year 2050 there may be more plastic than fish in our oceans. Another scary thought.

So, what are we going to do about it? We can’t let this happen, can we?

It’s up to us to try to reduce our plastic waste, so let’s start with reducing single-use plastic bottles by replacing them with reusable bottles.

We, the users, will not only save the natural environment, but also save ourselves money. We should encourage councils and other authorities to install more filtered drinking fountains in public access spaces, to also reduce the use of single-use plastic water bottles.

Do I hear you say, but they are recyclable?

Potentially, yes, they are, but this can’t be relied upon to solve the problem of plastic waste.

At present only around 10 percent of plastic is recycled in Australia each year (2019 figures).

And there are problems with recycling - from being able to read the triangle symbol to knowing which symbols your council accepts for recycling.

So, let’s start today. Reduce the number of single-use plastic bottles we are buying. Better still, let’s ask policy makers to ban the sale of single-use plastic water bottles.

Plastic bottles of water on the supermarket shelves may look innocent, but they are far from innocent and only one of many plastic products that harm our oceans and rivers.

Why should we ban single use plastic water bottles? Let’s look at some statistics, which are really scary, to see why.

Globally, humans buy about one million single-use bottles a minute, according to earthday.org website, and over one thousand bottles per second are being discarded. These numbers are hard to imagine.

Around 32 percent of all plastic waste ends up in the oceans, where it is very harmful to our wildlife. That is the same as dumping one full garbage truck with plastic into our oceans every minute.

Scary, isn’t it? And these figures are only expected to grow. Especially when you realise that single use plastic bottles have only been around since 1947 and mass production by major manufacturers only started in 1978.

That’s only 42 years ago, so we’d better start now to reverse the trend. Another 40 years will not only double it but most likely triple it unless we take some action.

It concerns me to see mountains of plastic drink bottles on the supermarket shelves.

Many water bottles are only ordinary filtered water. And very expensive water, dearer than milk and petrol. It will take one or two litres of

Holiday trial Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father, Netflix Now in it’s third series comes the show that is part cringe, part travelogue and part gender gap. British comedian Jack Whitehall and his former Theatre agent/producer father Michael have packed their bags and headed to the US this time around.

The series, which first aired in 2017, started with Jack deciding that at the age of 28 it was time to take that long-overdue gap year that all his mates had after school or university. Instead he went to work as a stand-up and comic actor and missed out - so it was off to South East Asia to do all the things young Brit backpackers do.

However, the twist was that he’d do it with his elderly, set-in-his way, stay-at-home dad.

Obviously that was the only way he could sell it to network but it’s actually a premise that works with the curmudgeonly stick-in-themud Michael delivering the funniest bits of the first series while Jack comes across as a bit of a try-hard.

However, their interaction and the skewing of Jack’s dream gap year holiday makes for pretty funny television.

Jack wants to stay in a backpackers in Thailand - Michael walks in and walks straight out to head for the nearest five star hotel.

The second series saw the duo head across Europe taking in stunning ice-capped mountains in the Bavarian Alps all the way to Istanbul and Ukraine.

In series three Jack is still trying to have fun and Michael is even more grumpy. But their dynamic remains fun, funny and slightly dysfunctional.

Although, as fellow comedian Russell Howard took his mum to the US and Doctor Who actor Bradley Walsh did the country with his son, it all seems a bit ‘been there done that, got that T-shirt’ this time around.

Still this is a fun and gentle travelogue and well-worth spending a bit of time on particularly, given none of us can actually go anywhere at the moment.

Back for more apocalyptic mayhem The Umbrella Academy, Netflix The offbeat and very funny Umbrella Academy is back with more of the same but different and yet series two is just so much more than the first one (even though the first one was infinitely watchable).

Based on the equally unhinged comic by musician/graphic novelist Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) this is the story of a dysfunctional family of adopted super heroes (all born on the same day in strange circumstances at different locations).

They reunited to solve the mystery of their father’s death and of an impending apocalypse.

This time around they are still just as dysfunctional and still trying to deal with an impending apocalypse - a different one this time (one they probably had a hand in causing again).

But while it could feel like you have seen it all before, the second series is actually better in every way - not there was much wrong with the first one.

The episodes are slightly shorter this time and so tighter - less unnecessary dialogue.

There is no filler here. The action and story are full steam ahead and still as wacky and out there as round one.

In series two the seven have now time travelled back to the 1960s and the action takes place mainly in Dallas just over a week before the death of JFK. The seven leads - led by Ellen Page (Van-

But the scenes where he realises he can’t talk the younger version of his doomed lover out of enlisting for Vietnam are beautifully poignant in a series full of humour and mayhem.

The Umbrella Academy’s first series was great but series two has turned it up to 11.

Fatal Attraction knock-off, but still grips Fatal Affair Starring Nia Long and Omar Epps Rated M Fatal Affair is a decent thriller with strong performances and atmosphere, but it’s preoccupied with build-up over execution.

Ellie (Nia Long), a successful attorney, has a short but intense reunion with David (Omar Epps), a friend from college, only for David to become dangerously obsessed with her.

The film generates effective suspense early on, as the plot steadily reveals David’s dark past and his actions grow more sinister. Epps plays a deeply unnerving villain, with both suave and intimidating moments, and small acts of emotional manipulation escalate into active deception and threats of force. Long conveys natural charisma as Ellie, and the stress of David’s stalking campaign visibly weighs on her.

However, the tension is undercut by David’s strangely passive conduct.

Much of the film consists of David threatening Ellie. This is disturbing in itself, but David only makes a move right at the end of the film, resulting in a slack, clumsy climax, and the catalyst is a chance discovery by a supporting character. Despite being an aggressive stalker, David feels oddly detached as an antagonist.

Fatal Affair is an atmospheric, well-acted thriller, but it’s mostly talk and little action, and is available for streaming on Netflix.

The Deceived, Stan The long-awaited four-part psychological thriller The Deceived has started on Stan.

Written by Lisa McGee (Derry Girls, Being Human) and Tobias Beer, the drama is a compelling, sinister narrative of lust, manipulation and betrayal filmed in Northern Ireland and Cambridge.

The Deceived follows English student Ophelia (Emily Reid, Belgravia, Curfew), who falls in love with her married lecturer, seeing in him all the answers to her needs.

When their affair is interrupted by a shocking and tragic death, Ophelia finds herself trapped in a world where she can no longer trust her own mind.

Emmett J. Scanlan (Gangs of London, Peaky Blinders, Butterfly, The Fall) plays the timelessly attractive and charismatic English lecturer Dr Michael Callaghan; Catherine Walker (Shetland, Versailles) is his wife Roisin, a successful, award-winning fiction writer; Eleanor Methven (Little Women) plays Roisin’s devoted and sometimes overbearing mother Mary Mulvery and Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones, Derry Girls) is Michael’s father Hugh fighting the oncoming tide of dementia.

The support cast also includes Shelley Conn (Liar) as Roisin’s best friend Ruth, Dempsey Bovell (Patrick Melrose) as Matthew, Michael’s confidante and biggest admirer, and Normal People star Paul Mescal is Sean McKeough, a local builder who becomes Ophelia’s confidante.

What’s In A Name Phil Jarratt

Alderly Cottage today.

Terrace soaked in history Alderly Terrace, Little Cove Alderly Terrace, one of Little Cove’s dress circle streets, offering beautiful glimpses of Laguna Bay through the canopy of trees, gets its name from the whimsical dream of a couple of World War II veterans to create a Tudor village on the slopes of Noosa’s south head.

There are many strange aspects to this story, one of which is that Alderly Cottage, the last surviving part of the Tudor village begun

by Harold Davis and Juan Carl Grummette (known as Jack) in the 1940s, is actually in adjacent Mitti Street. Another is that army buddies Harry and Jack originally named their Tudor houses “Alderley”, after the Alderley Arms Hotel in Brisbane, where over a few hundred beers they came up with the idea, rather

Alderly Terrace.

than after Alderley Edge in Cheshire, England, which is home to many of the real Tudors. But then Jack supposedly had a spiritual conversation with some old bloke who told him that a woman named Jane Alderly had been shipwrecked in Little Cove, so he dropped the “e”.

Anyway, Harry and Jack had a good partnership going in which Jack had plenty of ideas and Harry had plenty of money, so in 1946 the two mates moved to Noosa and started building on seven acres at Little Cove that Harry had bought two years earlier, working around the four huge army tents that housed Harry and his young family, Harry’s parents, Jack and a vast mess tent. Having blazed a track wide enough to get materials out to the property, the lads practiced their mock Tudor 16th century

building techniques (replacing thatched roofing for shingles in deference to the climate) on two cottages, “Tudor House” and “Tudor Cottage”, before beginning “Alderly”.

Once ensconced in the first of the houses, Harry’s mum Mary set up a Devonshire tea room on her terrace and served tea and scones to passing bushwalkers and beachgoers. While this provided a bit of beer money for Harry and Jack, the real game was to build and sell spec Tudors, but the dream of discovering a mock Tudor cottage in an Australian bushland setting apparently wasn’t shared by many, particularly as they were in stark contrast to the environmentally sympathetic houses which were starting to be built in the neighbourhood by the young Brisbane architects Aubrey Job and

This wouldn’t be the last quirky real estate development to fall over in Noosa, but it was almost certainly the first. Tudor House and Tudor Cottage were both knocked down by new wave developers in the 1980s, but Alderly Cottage, significantly renovated on several occasions, however still with a certain je ne sais quoi (as they used to say in Olde England) is still with us and available for holiday rental.

Above the fireplace the word “Resurgam” is engraved. Latin for “I shall rise again”, this could possibly be a message from Jack Grummette.

The Hotseat Phil Jarratt Noosa Council CEO BRETT DE CHASTEL is widely regarded as one of the best operators to ever hold that office, the power behind the throne who remains cool, calm and collected through the tumult and the shouting. In a rare break from his policy of keeping a low profile, he sat in the Hotseat for Phil Jarratt.

How do you get a name like de Chastel?

In a nutshell, my great grandfather was a French convict transported to the penal colony in New Caledonia. His surname was Charmiere and he escaped from prison in Noumea and stole a small boat with other convicts and set sail for Australia. Several convicts died on the journey but he survived and they landed in Queensland. He changed his name to de Chastel in reference to the region in France he was from.

I was born in Innisfail. My dad worked for a bank and we got shifted around every couple of years. I ended up going to seven different schools and living all over Queensland and then going to university in Brisbane, a 17-yearold kid who didn’t really know what he wanted to do. Oddly enough journalism looked pretty interesting, so I enrolled in a bachelor of arts majoring in journalism, but did a law degree at the same time. At the end of my third year I had my journalism major, but every journalist I ran into seemed like an alcoholic or a cynic!

(Laughs) Usually both!

So I finished my law degree, then went up to Mareeba where my parents were and worked in a one-man firm, which was a great grounding. But I was young and single, so I was drawn back to Brisbane. I was a serious soccer player and one weekend I broke my leg and was on crutches. I saw an ad for an in-house lawyer for Ipswich City Council to do their town planning work. This was the early days of political correctness in job ads, so they said they were “an equal opportunity employer looking for a solicitor regardless of physical or mental impairment”. I turned up on crutches and got the job.

My plan was to work in council for two years, then go back to the private sector and make my fortune, but I found the work really interesting, and I met my wife-to-be at that time, so I hung around for quite a bit longer, going through the first of my council amalgamations (Ipswich City and Moreton Shire in 1995) and then deciding that it would be even more interesting to be making the decisions rather than giving advice, so I applied for the job of deputy CEO and got it. At the 2000 elections Paul Pisasali was elected mayor and within 12 months I felt I needed to leave.

Is my memory correct that when he was elected Pisasali was a bit of a golden boy?

Very much so, and the CEO was a very good one, who was able to keep Pisasale under control, to keep boundaries around him. Then he left, and there were no boundaries.

What was it specifically that drove you to leave?

I’d say it was my moral compass, but also my kids at that time were two and four, and my wife Sue and I were talking about where we wanted to bring them up. We were thinking of a nice, safe coastal environment, and the Noosa came up a lot in our conversations. I opened up the paper one morning and Noosa Shire Council was advertising for a director of corporate services. I applied for the job, got it and came here in August 2001. I took a pay cut to come and it was the best decision I ever made. I worked with CEO Bruce Davidson for the next seven years, with Bob Abbot as mayor and some really interesting councillors, great staff, and I just fell in love with Noosa, and, to be honest, with Noosa Council. It was a great place to work until the dark clouds of amalgamation began to come over the horizon.

Having seen a good amalgamation from the inside at Ipswich, could you see from the getgo that this was a bad one?

Absolutely. Amalgamations are successful where there is a set of common values or a shared sense of place. The Noosa and Sunshine Coast amalgamation never had that. It was always going to be a struggle, and there were four or five other places in Queensland where this was also true.

28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 August, 2020

In Noosa/Sunshine Coast what was driving that lack of common purpose? Cultural differences?

I’d say more community differences, the sense of what makes a community. At the risk of over-simplifying it, it was a bigger-is-better philosophy versus a niche philosophy. But it was also about the tourism sector, one being about volume and one being about value.

Overall a sense of localism versus regionalism, which was a fundamental difference.

Bruce Davidson and I decided that one of us had to go off-line for six months to build the anti-amalgamation case, so I took that on. I stepped back from normal duties and turned a little meeting room here into a war room and ran the campaign, from petitions to lobbying politicians to the big street march in Brisbane.

We fought hard and we lost, and that was pretty disheartening.

Some (members of staff) decided to leave, others including myself stayed on with Sunshine Coast Council, but my heart wasn’t in it and after about five months I decided to leave and set up a consulting business, going around Queensland helping fix broken councils. I did that for the next six years, worked with about 25 councils across the state, including some of the most personally satisfying work of my career with the Indigenous councils of Cape York. It was a tremendously rewarding experience and I met some amazing people.

Were there any takeaways from your Indigenous experience that you were able to bring back into the other council world?

Listening to community is one. When they talk about community engagement, they’re serious about it. They know if they get it wrong, they’ll have to live with a lot of very unhappy aunties and uncles, so there’s a lot of talk before any decision is made, and in my observation, that leads to better decisions.

In 2013 the de-amalgamation campaign really started to gather momentum. Did you play a part?

I did, but behind the scenes. I was asked to put together the business case to present to the state government, that we’d be economically successful if we de-amalgamated. The state had to be comfortable that along with the political will to de-amalgamate went the knowledge that it would work.

How did you become CEO? At the end of 2013 Noosa Council advertised nationally for a CEO and I applied, along with 45 others, and was lucky enough to get the job after an independent assessment. My local knowledge certainly helped because I could hit the ground running, but there were other very good, very worthy candidates.

What exactly is the role of a council CEO? It’s not quite the same as the CEO of the law firm down the road, is it?

No, it’s quite different. Probably the best analogy is this: it’s like being a conductor of an orchestra. You’ve got all these things going on at once, and sometimes you have to bring the drums up a bit and the violins down a bit, and the whole time you’ve got the audience watching. Another way of looking at is that local government is like a very small multinational, in that we’re running a waste business and a library, a respite centre and a landscaping business, an aquatic centre and a cemetery. The range is incredible. The only reason we run all of these things is that they’re not viable from a private sector perspective - none are designed to make money. Then there’s the fact that our 55,000 customers get to elect the board of directors every four years, the board meetings are open to the media and the customers, and the board gets a free performance appraisal every time the paper comes out. (Laughs) It’s an unusual business model, and we’ve got a billion dollars’ worth of assets that we look after on behalf of the community.

Picture: SUPPLIED Do you have your finger on the pulse of all those micro-businesses you mentioned or do you delegate?

I’ve got a great management team and that’s what they do, but one of my quirks is that every three or four months I go and work in a different part of the organisation for a day, so I might be laying out bitumen or handing out library books.

Really? Laying bitumen? What was the last job you tried?

Concreting a footpath. The hardest one I’ve done was with a tree crew, cutting down trees in the heat of summer. It’s important to know what’s going on out there, but my day to day job is to find the glue that binds us together.

You’ve outlined how council works, but outside the Pelican Street fortress it’s all just “the council” which gets blamed for just about everything. Is that depressing?

Not depressing, but when you do get positive feedback it’s really worthwhile. If you let it get to you, you lose sight of what you’re trying to achieve, so you just have to roll with the punches.

Picture: SUPPLIED

Is it a general rule that the CEO remains aloof from politics?

Yes, and during an election campaign I don’t go to any of the functions for any of the candidates. My job is to come in the day after the election is declared and see who the community has put forward and to make it work. And that’s what we’re doing now. It was quite an adversarial election in March, no getting around that, and we had new people coming in, but part of my job is to get that group together and to work with the mayor to get everyone to work as a team.

One new councillor recently told me that it

doesn’t matter what you said in a campaign, once you walk through the door of council chambers, you’re starting a whole new learning curve.

Absolutely. Most new councillors are surprised by the range and complexity of council business. With turnover over $100 million a year, there’s a lot to learn. Over the first few months I’ve spent a lot of time explaining how it all works, an intense process but it’s ending now.

You had COVID-19 land at about the same time as the new council. Has that been a challenge?

Yes, it’s been difficult for everyone. It’s been full-on for the new councillors, the council staff and all of us as we’ve had to navigate through uncertainty, with no budgetary assumptions making any sense when you don’t know what’s going to happen. On the other hand, it’s been good for the new council group to face these challenges together.

I made an executive decision not to put the New Noosa Plan up to the new council too early, we needed them to get their feet under the table and see how local government works before looking at that. Whenever it was brought on, they would have to decide to vote for it or against it, but it was important for them to understand the issues first. That’s the trick with successful councils. You’re not going to agree on difficult issues all the time, but once you’ve voted on them, you move forward.

How’s Noosa doing in these strange times?

Pretty good. We’ve got a resilient community, as we saw in the fires last year. The hard thing is we don’t know what the future holds. We’re in a scenario future. There is no one future, it might be one of half a dozen scenarios that might play out, and we have to plan for each of them, and be adaptable and flexible enough to move ahead.

Medal rivals and good friends Tsuyoshi Yamanaka and John Konrads at the swimming training centre in Rome.

John’s parents listen to the live broadcast of the 1500m freestyle from Rome.

Our ’60s Olympic legends

By Ian Jobling The Games of the XXXII Olympiad should have been held this year in Tokyo but as we all know have been deferred until July 2021. However, this year is the 60th Anniversary of the 1960 Rome Olympics, which is significant for several Olympians closely associated with the Noosa Region. Over the next few weeks, Noosa Today will feature stories about those Olympians.

The first Olympian, Noosa resident John Konrads, also provides a close link with Japan because of a friendship which began when he was selected at the age of 14 in the Australian Swimming Team for 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Although he did not get to swim at those Games, John met Tyusoshi Yamanaka, who came second to Murray Rose in both the 400m and 1500m Freestyle.

John and his sister Ilsa became widely known as ‘the Konrads Kids’ over the next few years as they broke world records over a wide range of distances under their coach Don Talbot. In January 1958 in Sydney, John broke world records in the 200m, 220yd, 400m, 440yd, 800m and 800yd - six in eight days. He set another eight in February and March, including a 1500m and 1650yd Freestyle events.

Konrads and Yamanaka were able to renew their friendship, and begin their rivalry, when they competed against each other again in Japan after John had ‘scooped the pool’ at the 1958 Cardiff British Empire and Commonwealth Games. In an interview John said: “After beating him in Tokyo, we went to Osaka and the world’s biggest swim stadium of all time with 25,000 seats. The atmosphere was electric. Spectators all wore white shirts; no women of course. I won the 400 and 1500 and he won the 200, in a new World Record. The crowd went wild”.

When the Australians were in Townsville for their pre-Olympic preparation for the 1960 Rome Games, Yamanaka telephoned from Japan to speak to John, Murray Rose, and other swimmers, to “exchange news and wish his rivals good luck”. Yamanaka informed John that two days before he had clocked 17:21 for the 1500 metres in a time-trial. This was 10 seconds slower than John’s world record.

“Don Talbot arrived in Rome and stayed in a small flat. I was jet lagged but also excited by 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 August, 2020

The better man on the night won - it couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke” Rome so Don took me on the back of his Vespa for a tour of the monuments which settled me down,” John said.

As the swimming program at the 1960 Rome Olympics commenced immediately after the Opening Ceremony, the Australian officials would not allow the swimmers to march in to the Stadium. One did march - but that will be a part of a later story. However, John was part of an unofficial ‘Opening Ceremony’ staged at the Athlete’s Village. The Australian male Olympians, dressed in shorts and ties without shirts,

and the females in shorts and blouses, brandished ‘flags’ - their swimming costumes tied to the top of sticks. They then marched in a straggling group behind the official Australian team as they boarded buses to the Olympic Stadium.

The three favourites for both the 400m and 1500m Freestyle events were Konrads, Yamanaka, and Murray Rose, the 1956 Olympic champion. Konrads was breaking records regularly, and there was much pressure on this 18-year-old. Time Magazine added pressure when they hailed the contenders for the 400m Freestyle, the first of John’s Olympic events, as

“one of the hottest fields in Olympic history”.

Murray Rose swam a brilliant race to win becoming the greatest swimmer in history.

Konrads was gracious in defeat. “The better man on the night won - it couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke”. Talbot just told him: “Tough luck mate. Now for the 1500 on Friday night.

Yamanaka will go out fast and be way ahead at the 800 (yes, 25m) Murray will save a bit for the last 100 and will catch up to you (he did, up to my shoulders). What great insight from a 29 year-old-coach, who became one of the greatest coaches of all time”.

Picture: OFFICIAL OLYMPIC REPORT ROME 1960 On the night of September 2, John swam a sensational and well-judged race to win the 1500m Freestyle in 17:19.6. He broke Murray Rose’s 1956 Olympic record by 39.3 sec and was just 8.6 sec outside his own world record.

John’s sister Ilsa, who was awaiting the start of the Women’s Relay, burst into tears. She started a chain reaction and within minutes half the women’s team were crying and cheering him.

In his 1994 book, Australia and the Olympic Games, Harry Gordon wrote that John received the greatest ovation of any swimmer at the Rome Olympics and as he mounted the victory dais after winning the 1500m in Olympic record time, “the 20,000 spectators exploded into a mighty burst of cheer and cooees ...

Even the Romans were calling ‘cooee’”.

Don Talbot acknowledged in his book, Nothing but the Best, that John “swam a strong tactical race, sitting behind Breen before taking the lead at the 1100-metre turn. The hardchasing Rose was always within three seconds of him, but John toughed it out and held him off to win”.

This was both John’s and Talbot’s first Olympic Gold medal as swimmer and coach. Mike Colman revealed in , 1500 - The Story of Australia’s Race that John said it took him 10 years to realise it, but the moment Talbot came up to him after the 400m was the moment he won the 1500m gold medal: “I knew I was going to win before I got up on the blocks. Thanks to

John Konrads and Lorraine Crap speak to Tsuyoshi Yamanaka who phoned from Japan to wish the Australian swimming squad ‘good luck’.

Don I focused on myself. Don told me exactly how the race would be swum and what I had to do to win and it all unfolded exactly like he said. He told me Yamanaka would go out early and he did. He told me not to worry about him, that the field would catch him and we did. He told me where George Breen would be at the half way mark. He said he wasn’t sure how Murray would swim but not to be too worried about him because he hadn’t swum too many 1500s for a while. He thought Murray would pace himself off me but felt when it came down to the finish I would be too strong”.

John’s parents had risen at dawn in Cardigan Road, Greenacres in Sydney to hear the live broadcast of the race; his father John said

the win was “the best Father’s Day gift I’ve ever had”. Elsa said scores of people telephoned to congratulate them on John’s victory. “Dozens of them were strangers to us,” she said.

John returned to Sydney with more than 100 teammates to be greeted by even more hundreds of the public. He was feted at Sydney’s Mascot Airport. During his many press interviews throughout the 1960 Rome Games John had indicated it was likely he would undertake further studies at a university in the United States, which he did. He competed in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, and after a successful business career in France, Victoria, and Sydney, he now resides in Noosa.

An Olympian remembers

By Ian Jobling It was 60 years ago this month but champion swimmer John Konrads still recalls the feeling of relief when he touched first in the 1500 metres at the Rome Olympics in 1960.

Just 18 and holder of world records from the 200 metres to the 1500 metres, John was favourite to win but coming third in the earlier 400m to main rivals, Australian Murray Rose (first) and Japanese champion Tsuyoshi Yamanaka

(second) put a huge dent in his confidence. “ Rome was a bitter-sweet experience. I did not swim well in the 400 metres. Clearly, my lack of international competition and nervousness was a factor. I was more concerned on watching where my main rivals were.”

Now living at Noosa Heads, John told Noosa Today, “ After the medal presentation ceremony, I sheepishly approached my coach Don Talbot, who had somehow located himself in the poolside press box. His first words were

‘Tough luck, boy. Now for the 1500 metres ... ’ “During the next few days, we discussed tactics, my lap times and that of his rivals. By Friday night, I knew I was going to win before I dived in.

“Even though I was aware of where the other swimmers were in the race, I realised I had to focus on myself, not the competition.”

Touching first in a time of 17 min 19.6 close to his own world record (17: 28.7) and an Olym-

pic record was John’s sweet experience of Rome.

“My overall feeling was one of relief. I was the favourite for the event and both my sister Ilsa still held many world records, but the gold medal at the Olympic Games was my real objective.

“Yes, I held many world records but winning Olympic gold was a wonderful feeling of relief, as well as achievement, along with pride in my adopted country. Yes, I was a very proud Australian”.

No shows for show goers

By Margaret Maccoll This week, in any other year, the spotlight would be well and truly shone on the Show sector with animal breeders and farmers showcasing their breeds and produce alongside arts and crafts at the Royal Brisbane Show or Ekka.

So Noosa Today chatted to a few local show exhibitors who have taken a forced break this year.

Yvonne Hopf is one of only two giant Schnauzer breeders in Queensland and at this time of year would be immersed in the dog show scene at the Ekka.

For more than 20 years Yvonne has shown her dogs at the Ekka and Royal Sydney Shows.

This year she had planned to show two of her dogs and be joined by her daughter who would have travelled from Canberra to show three.

“It takes 10 weeks to get them in show condition,” she said. “You strip them out, down to nothing and the top coat grows back. The furnishings on the legs you trim with scissors.”

The show is a venue dog breeders and their dogs look forward to for the excitement of the show and the opportunity to meet old friends and new.

“You have your own group of people. You gossip a bit, have a picnic,” she said.

“Country shows are a full day out.”

But this year all the big shows have been cancelled. Yvonne said plans for the big shows which are always judged by overseas judges are usually planned well in advance with invitations to judges sent a year ahead, meaning there is uncertainty on the return of future shows.

Melanie Barnes has 80 guinea pigs at her Cooran home, has bred and shown them since she was a girl and since moving to the Noosa Shire has established the Sunshine Coast Cavy Club.

When Melanie and her family moved to Cooran from Sydney a few years ago the guinea pigs flew Qantas.”They’re really inoffensive little animals. They’re very tame. They’re not aggressive in any way,” she said.

“A lot of people have them for pets. They’re happy to sit on your lap, happy to be in a cage They eat hay and a small amount of vegetables.”

In August each year a national show held in NSW attracts about 700 guinea pigs and their owners.

Having shown guinea pigs for about 35 years Melanie said a large attraction of the shows is the social interaction for people with similar interests. “That’s something you miss,” she said.

Anne Hunt began sewing as a girl, taught by her mother.

In Year 12 she studied design and made her own clothes so quilting was a natural progression for her.

“I’m a bit of a perfectionist,” she said.

“There are two approaches to quilting. There’s quite a mathematical approach - it’s very geometric. The other approach is art quilts.”

When Anne began making quilts they were functional with many created for family members but her focus has become more artistic.

“It’s like a painter with a brush,” she said.

Anne’s award-winning quilts are regular entries at the Queensland Quilt Show and the Ekka but she also creates them for charity auctions and family members.

One of her favourite quilts titled Harriet, one degree of separation, holds a special meaning for her.

“I met Harriet when at Australia Zoo when I took a group of disabled adults to see her several times over time,” she said. “They adored her and fed her red hibiscus. Her pace was very non-threatening to them. On learning more of her history I discovered by meeting her I was separated to Charles Darwin by one degree of separation. He had collected her at the Galapagos Islands on a trip from Australia to England on a ship called The Beagle.”

Anne loves her trips to the shows with fellow-quilter Jeanie Henry to view the latest in quilts and compare notes.

A member of the Wallace House Quilters Anne said the social side of quilting was an important aspect and one she had missed this year.

Member Anne Marie Lawson said a lot of preparation goes into desensitizing their horses to the sounds, crowds and activities that accompany events.

Drums, flags, balloons and even fireworks are used to prepare horses for what they may expect at a show and newly trained horses are always paired with an experienced one.

Pomona resident Leanne Airey picked up photography as an interest and after winning her first award in a Ridgewood photography competition was encouraged to keep going.

Last year Leanne received three highly commended awards for her entries in the show’s photography competition and has volunteered to assist the show set up their display.

“I have been extremely grateful to have received so much encouragement and support from my community - so many people have contributed to my photography journey by way of encouragement and support,” she said.

“My photographs would probably sit in my computer without their amazing support.”

She has entered the online 2020 Ekka Photography competition but hasn’t yet received results of the competition.

Leanne is missing the show she enjoys to participate in but her photographs can be

viewed locally. For the next month 200 of her images are being screened on rotation on the TV at the Noosa Library.

And her images are sold as postcards at Pomona, Cooran and Boreen Point.

Cooloola Berries owners Kim and Jason Lewis haven’t been able to take their iconic strawberry ice-creams and other foods to local shows as they normally would but people are coming to them in droves at their Wolvi farm.

On Sunday people came for their Paella in the paddock lunch, picked their own strawberries, shopped for local produce or enjoyed an ice-cream.

Kim said their customers had increased 30 per cent since Covid cancelled local events.

Artists over 70 come together

By Abbey Cannan Local and regional artists over the age of seventy are coming together to showcase their creativity and to express their concept and vision in the art medium of their choosing.

The art exhibition titled “Art After 70” is a coalition of artists over 70 years of age, which will be on show at the Butter Factory in Cooroy from 11 September to 13 October.

Event organiser Wendy Catlin said there was a wealth of creativity among the third age population in the area and this creativity deserves to be exhibited. “This exhibition offers participants an opportunity to show their art work to a greater audience and gain more exposure. It is an opportunity to show the community that the creative journey does not stop with age,” she said.

“The quality of artists in this exhibition is high with several award winning participants as well as established and emerging artists.”

Various disciplines will be represented including painting, mixed media, ceramics, glass, photography, fabric art.

Ms Catlin said many artists are isolated, particularly artists of the third age.

“For many it is a challenge to get out and meet others of similar age and interest. There are very few outlets to show their work as many of the artists do not have the opportunity to show in commercial galleries or lack the income to promote themselves,” she said.

“I feel the community will be affected by learning and understanding that just because you are old does not mean you do not create, participate and care.

“Many people want to be artists their whole life, but to do have the time or opportunity to be creative due to work, family and other events. So after all is done, around age 60 + people are able to realise their dream to practice and make art.”

Ms Catlin said older people do not get the opportunity to share what they accomplish with others.

“This event provides Third Age creatives to participate by sharing their work with other artists of all ages,” she said.

“It provides an opportunity to participate in a creatives social network possibly making new contacts and friend.

“I hope the visitors to the exhibition will enjoy seeing that people over 70 years are still very active and contributing to the community.

“I hope people of any age are inspired to start creative projects on their own.”

Cooroy Future Group president and artist Carol Watkins.

Cooroy Future Group president Carol Watkins will be featuring her art in the upcoming exhibition.

“All artists welcome the opportunity to put their creative works out there, and a group exhibitions is much less daunting than a solo one,” she said.

“I have come to know many of the artists participating in this exhibition and look forward to being able to share our works.”

Ms Watkins said she took up the art of ceramics 15 years ago before she retied.

The Read

By Annie Grossman Of Annie’s Books On Peregian THE LAST MIGRATION - Charlotte McConaghy An ode to the disappearing natural world, this is a debut dystopian novel about what is probably the very last migration of the Arctic tern, one of the very last wild animals left on the planet. This is a world where there are no animals left roaming the wild and very few in zoos, besides the animals needed for human consumption such as cows and sheep. Our protagonist Franny talks her way onto a fishing boat which fishes the ever-depleting fishing grounds around Greenland. She convinces the crew that she can find plenty of fish if they follow the Arctic terns on their extraordinary migration. Franny’s life begins to unspool as she and the motley crew combat the wild seas, and the parallel between her life and the lives of these endangered birds becomes apparent.

This is a hauntingly beautiful novel sweeping the reader from the crashing coastal waters of the Arctic Ocean to the white sanctuary of Antarctic; it’s a story of the plight of nature, of love, adventure and ultimately, hope. (Penguin Books $33) WHEN SHE WAS GREAT - Michael Robotham Despite him being an enormously popular

thriller writer, I have not read a Michael Robotham novel for some years. I recently picked up GOOD GIRL BAD GIRL, the first of Robothom’s novels featuring forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven and the enigmatic Evie Cormac, and read it in one sitting. I was thrilled when the new book WHEN SHE WAS GOOD hit the shelves recently, and gobbled that one up just as quickly. Robotham definitely has a compelling style, with authentic and interesting characters and complex, intriguing plots.

It is preferable to read GOOD GIRL BAD GIRL before this one, just to set the scene and get to know the two main characters. Six years ago, Evie Cormac was found holed up in a secret cupboard in a house where a grisly murder had taken place. Nobody seems to know who she is, and Evie is not giving anything away. The people who have come close to discovering her identity have met with a nasty end, but Cyrus Haven is committed to uncovering Evie’s mysteries and liberate her from her dark past. As he get closer to solving the mystery the action really heat up, and he must decide whether it is sometimes best for secrets to remain hidden.

Cyrus and Evie are both survivors of trauma, and find a strange but profound connection, resulting in a unique new literary duo. Congratulations to Michael Robotham for another cracker read!

“As I’d had a full on career, owning my own business for the last 13 years of my career, I had no outside distractions and a friend suggested pottery,” she said.

“I think the opportunity for group exhibitions is the bonus here as the diversity of works on show is always exciting.

“The Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre is a community arts centre and loves to work with our community, supporting local artists. The range of exhibitions on show at the BFAC is very exciting, inclusive and varied.”

Seniors Week August 15-23, 2020 recognises the valuable contribution of seniors in the community, whether as volunteers, in the workforce, community leaders, carers, grandparents or advocates.

Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said Seniors Week was a great opportunity to promote positive community attitudes towards older people and ageing, as well as community participation and connection.

“This year’s theme is all about coming together, so what better way to do that than by taking a trip down memory lane at a drive-in movie,” Cr Law said.

“Sunshine Coast Libraries will host the 1960s British classic To Sir with Love, at the Eumundi Showground on Saturday August 15.

“Tickets are only $20 per car and patrons are encouraged to BYO food and snacks.

“The movie begins at 6pm, but there will be live music by Nyssa Ray from 5pm when the gates open.

“To keep everyone safe, social distancing measures will be in place with two metre distances kept between each car and hand sanitising stations throughout the grounds.

“All visitors will be required to provide their contact details to library staff upon arrival and sign-out when leaving, as per Queensland Government requirements.

“If you can’t make it to the drive-in make sure you check out the great Super Seniors programs available via the library website.

“You can get super fit, super safe, super social or super style this Seniors Week thanks to a variety of great online resources.”

To explore all the great Seniors Week offerings and book your ticket for the drive-in head to library.sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au EVENT DETAILS What: Enjoy To Sir With Love at the Drive-In Theatre When: Saturday August 15. Gates open at 5pm. Movie starts at 6pm.

Where: Eumundi Showgrounds, 1 Black Stump Rd, Eumundi QLD 4562 Cost: $20 per car Bookings Essential: library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au Entry will be contactless via confirmation email only, with no cash accepted on site.

Movie: To Sir With Love is a classic 1967 British drama film that deals with social issues in a tough inner city school. It stars Sidney Poitier and features singer Lulu making her film debut.

Poitier plays Mark Thackery, an outof-work engineer, who takes up a teaching job at a high school in London’s East End. Unaffected by the rowdy students, Mark implements his own brand of discipline in class, forcing the pupils to treat each other with respect and gaining their trust and friendship. The awardwinning film was based on E. R. Braithwaite’s 1959 autobiographical novel.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

View from the Sunset Bar.

Picture: JJ

Doing the river ramble

By Trevor Pepys Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club Friends and neighbours recently invited us over for dinner and, between courses, serenaded us with a gorgeous arrangement of the old Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer classic, Moon River, made famous by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s.

Trevor hasn’t been able to get the tune out of his head ever since, particularly ambling along the river the other night, with his huckleberry friend, two drifters, off to see the world.

Now I know most of you cretins will be more familiar with Cold Chisel’s Breakfast At Sweethearts than with the aforementioned golden nugget of ‘60s popular culture, but it seemed to fit the moment perfectly as Trev pushed the bride up the two flights of stairs to first stop of the evening, the Sunset Bar at The Boathouse, there to witness another glorious golden moment over proseccos, as the orb dipped below Mount Cooroy in a psychedelic blaze of colour, if you’ll pardon the mind warp into an era slightly after Moon River.

Time to move on, as we did, to an early sitting at the endearingly BS-free Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club.

Trevor has fond memories of whiling away long afternoons, beer in hand, bare feet almost dangling in the river, shooting the breeze with the village rascals on the skinny deck of the old tumble-down Yottie that once hung over the riverbank in front of the tennis court on Gympie Terrace. A quarter of a century has passed since the Yottie moved upstream and upmarket and became the “biggest little club on the coast” in its fancy Ken Robinson premises.

Happily, the casual, friendly ambience of the old club has continued at the “new” over a couple of decades and renovations. The Yottie has always drawn an eclectic clientele of locals, and Trev merrily table-hopped to chat 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 August, 2020

with former pollies, moguls and tycoons, as well as a few old river rats, before settling down at a corner table to a bottle of Squealing Pig pinot gris ($39.90) a pleasant Kiwi drop from the Marlborough region whose label is almost as clever as what’s inside.

The Yottie menu is not vast, but it fits the Trev criterion that when eating by a river you should eat what’s in it, by boasting a good selection of seafood choices. On this occasion we decided to share calamari and chips ($24.90) and the house specialty, mild chilli mussels ($18.90). The calamari itself was adequate, but the pickled ginger accompaniment saved it from ho-hum. And the star of the evening - third time in a fortnight for Trev and yet to be disappointed - was the generous bowl of mussels, served on the half-shell in a delicious chilli Napoli sauce with rye bread.

There are several places around town that do good moules, Sindo’s at the Junction being one of them, but the Yottie’s is Trev’s fave rave, at least for the moment.

Doing the ramble home, we were lured into fireside bar stools at Whisky Boy by the thought of a nightcap flight of single malts.

This far into the festivities, Trev’s brain simply can’t deal with the enormity of the whisky menu at Noosa’s best whisky joint, so the purchase of a flight provides simplicity as well as variety, and on this occasion, it was the damn fine Macallan Fine Oak that put a spring in his step all the way home.

The verdict? Well, you can’t beat the Yottie for a good feed and a slice of the true Noosa village experience, but in truth it’s our river that’s the star. Anywhere you can look at it while popping a cork and having a graze will do Trev.

Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club, Chaplin Park, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. Phone: 5449 8602 Open lunch and dinner, bookings advisable.

STEPS Autism Treehouse program coordinator Jessica Winnell facilitates regular social groups for Coast parents and teens with ASD, to connect in a familiar space, and to share the joys and challenges that autism brings to their lives.

Jess is the mother of children on the spectrum and says her own experiences help her to help others.

“Whenever we are having a tough time at home with the kids we always seek help and I encourage all the families we connect with to do the same.

“A lot of parents have found this year to be really difficult, and we would love to see parents come out and have a break and a free meal, connect and socialise with us, even for a couple of hours,” Jess said.

Jess says her autism journey wasn’t always easy for her family, even though she felt a weight had been lifted after her eldest son was diagnosed with ASD, she then had to navigate what to do next, and that was often overwhelming.

“It can be really hard at first and you almost have to grieve what you thought parenting would be like.

“But I was determined for my son to get all of the same opportunities as every other child in the class room and this is how my passion grew for inclusion in schools for all kids with additional needs,” she said.

Jess said she’s proud to be a part of the Sunshine Coast autism community, an amazing group of people that have such a wonderful spirit.

STEPS run regular free morning teas for parents and carers, alongside a range of programs from educational workshops, social groups, NDIS support coordination and major fundraising events each year.

Hook, Line and Sinker Jack Mangrove

Weather brings the goods As another mixed bag of weather greeted the first week in August we did see some quality fish getting caught. These came not only from the river and beaches but offshore. The lead up to the full moon saw a strong bite window as anglers made the effort to get out there.

Offshore a few charters made the trip out wide and were rewarded with some great jewfish from the North Reef area. Double Island was also on the cards with some good amberjack and jewfish boated and quality snapper and pearlies being returned. We now carry a range of release weights to help anglers release snapper and pearl perch caught in deeper water. These should be a part of everyones angling kit as snapper, jewfish, trout and cod are four popular species that suffer barotrauma and need help when it comes to releasing. We have weights up to 42 ounces which suit offshore fishing and big fish. In closer smaller sweetlip, tuskies feature around Sunshine reef. There are a few trout and mid water cobia taking pillies floated downward. This area is great when drifted and slow pitch jigs are deployed. The new Samaki wingman is a great offering and one that is sure to get the bites on tough days.

Surf fishing has seen an improvement too and early in the week a few big jewfish came off the beaches around sunrise beach and Coolum after dark. The beauty of fishing in winter are the evening high tides as we approach the major moon phases. This along with some fresh mullet really helps with getting the big one! Check out the new range of Gomoku surf sticks instore that are designed with big fish in mind with one reaching a massive 14 foot! Bream continue to feature heavily around rock walls and points of Noosa National park and Point Arkwright in Coolum. There are also some cracking GT’s coming up for those guys spinning for tailor. Smaller slugs in the 30-40 gram range are best used especially when the winds and swell are up off the beach.

The Noosa River continues to see standout queenfish smashing the baitfish in the mornings. These fish are taking stickbaits in the 90-120mm size with Megabass Xbladz a high speed stickbait that is rigged with singles and internal sliding weight system to help give you a longer more accurate cast. Other fish that may hit such a lure would be a big tailor which are often found with queenies in the Noosa River. Slightly lower down in the water trevally and bream are also often found together, especially around the structure of the dog beach.

These sunken trees provide ample cover and a chance of finding a PB just lurking deep in the snags. You would be best to step your gear up to 12lb or so to stop a fish here. After the rains the estuary will become murky making now a great time to focus all efforts in the lower areas including woods bay and Noosa Sound. Flatties are also holding around these areas and they love a whole snelled whitebait allowed to

Tewantin lad Charles Sweeney caught and released this quality bream (and a couple of others) while fishing near Munna Beach in the lower estuary. gently drift in the current. As we move toward the neap tides next week this is the best method for searching for bigger fish. Soft plastic fishing will become easier due to less tidal flow. Be sure to take a good look at the TT estuary pack if starting out. This has all the popular jighead weights covered and comes in a tackle box.

While you are at it grab some squidgy prawns and some extra s-factor which have proven themselves deadly on big flattties and bream.

Freshwater has seen a rise in water levels and with this a small temperature drop can be expected. This will see the bass sit deep and the toga move toward any run off. If after toga try small suspending jerkbaits like the 67mm Jackall squirrel and let it sit for as long as you dare. Wit the bass sitting deeper to find more consistent temperatures you would be best to fish hard on the bottom with spoons, zx40 blades from Ecogear and slow rolled soft plastics on fine wire 3/8th TT jigheads. Why not try a few Atomic Prong plastics which mimic a prawn/crayfish very well. This also happens to be a popular prey item in the dams and lakes so expect to get an aggressive bite.

Talented youngsters star Talented youngsters take Noosa Springs foursomes title Young guns Dino Degotardi and Blake Heiniger gave their more experienced rivals a taste of their class when they dominated Noosa Springs’ men’s foursomes championship, coasting to a nine-stroke victory.

The two young men, not long out of junior ranks, shot 78 in the alternate shot format, scoring from the pairing of John Gavin and Glen Sunderland who had 87.

The comprehensive win came as no real surprise. Degotardi, one of the Sunshine Coast’s most accomplished young stars, plays off a plus 3 handicap, while Heiniger, a fourmarker, is the son of renowned golf coach Peter Heiniger, who heads a team of teaching professionals at Noosa Springs.

Heiniger coaches both players.

If not for Covid-19, Degotardi would now be studying and playing golf in the United States.

He signed last year with the University of Northern Colorado, and had been looking forward to joining that college’s successful golf program.

In the women’s foursomes championships, the team of Tracey Carter and Chrissy Hordern shot 83 to beat Kelly-Ann Lynch and Judy Buss by two strokes. Rowena Faerch and Rosie Randall won the nett category with 73.

Adam Scott quickly finds form Adam Scott, playing his first tournament after an extended stay at his Sunshine Beach home, turned in four impressive rounds to finish in the top 25 in this week’s US PGA Championship in San Francisco.

Scott, who based himself in Noosa while the PGA Tour took a Covid-19-forced break, shot rounds of 68, 70, 70 and 68 for a fourround total of 276 - four under par.

Scott was one of the last elite players to rejoin the Tour. He had misgivings about travelling at first, then concerns about the measures in place to protect players from the virus. More than that, though, he enjoyed being home with his family. Scott celebrated his 40th birthday with family at Noosa, relearned the pleasures and demands of full-time parenting and reconnected with old pals, hanging out at Headland, Caloundra and Noosa Springs, where he did much of his preparation for a return to bigtime golf.

“It had been probably 20 years since I’d been home at that time of year and for that length of time, and I certainly enjoyed it very much, given whatever restrictions we were still under,” he said.

“It was nice to be there with the family, and I think in some way it’s going to prolong my career.”

Another Sunshine Coast-based golfer Lucas Herbert, who now calls Marcus Beach home - missed the 36-hole cut after rounds of 73 and 70.

Covid brings an end to Noosa Springs Open This year’s Noosa Springs Open, scheduled to be played on Sunday, September 13, has become the latest casualty of Covid-19.

The event, one of the highlights of Noosa Springs’ golfing calendar, attracts players from near and far, including many from interstate.

Several have already told Noosa Springs’ officials they will be unable to compete, now that Queensland’s borders are closed to Victorians and most NSW residents.

Noosa Springs’ executive general manager Mark Brady said golfers who had registered for the event would be welcome to play on that day in the regular Sunday Series, which gives players a chance to win a year’s free golf at Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island.

The Universal Property Sunday Series, a stableford event, is open to members and visitors, with local golfers - those who live on the Sunshine Coast and Gympie, plus those had already registered for the Noosa Springs Open - eligible for the Locals Only special green fee of $79, including a cart.

Young stars Dino Degotardi and Blake Heiniger, whose outstanding play earned them the Noosa Springs foursomes title.

Pictures: COURTESY INVINCIBLES TOUR Poor final round costs Kirk Katherine Kirk will rue a poor final round 77, which saw her drop from 16th to 65th in the Marathon Classic on the LPGA Tour this week.

The six over-par 77 followed three excellent earlier rounds - 71, 66 and 71 - by the Sunshine Beach star who was playing her second tournament since the Tour’s resumption.

The event was won by American Danielle Kang, who scored her second straight victory, after overnight leader, Lydia Ko of New Zealand, recorded a disastrous double bogey seven on the very last hole.

Become the champion club golfer of the year It’s an opportunity for a player of any ability to win a genuine golf championship. All that’s needed is an official golf handicap.

The Calvin Klein A, B and C Grade Championships are played at Noosa Springs over 54 holes from November 26. But register before August 31 and you’ll get 15% off the entry fee.The championships are open to amateur golfers who have a registered A, B or C grade handicap.

For those wishing to stay at Noosa Springs for the event, a series of accommodation packages have been offered, starting at $82 per person per night.

Playing in the championships costs $339 (for visitors), $144 for Noosa Springs’ members and $279 for Links Hope Island members.

Club championships soon The search to find Noosa Golf Club’s champion golfer begins on Saturday, August 29, when the first round of this year’s club championship is played. Competition will continue on the following day, with the third and fourth rounds scheduled for Saturday, September 5 and Saturday, September 12.

Club champions will be crowned in A, B and C grades.

Cooroy’s club championship starts this weekend.

Josie Ryan goes on her winning way Evergreen Josie Ryan won her sixth Queensland Senior Women’s Amateur Championship at Mt Coolum last week when she fired the best round of the day, a five over-par 77, to take the 54-hole title.With scores of 84, 81 and 77, the Headland champion beat overnight leader Kath Griffin of Hervey Bay by two shots with Oxley’s Robyn Callaghan a stroke away in third place.

Josie has been a consistent performer over many years and has twice won the Australian Senior Amateur title. She has been women’s champion at Headland 18 times.

Young stars Dino Degotardi and Blake Heiniger, whose outstanding play earned them the Noosa Springs foursomes title.

In the men’s senior championship, Caloundra’s Peter Wouters rued a final round 80 which saw him slip to 7th place. His three round total of 231 was 10 strokes shy of the winner, Brad Dowling of Southport.

Oxley’s Jess Jenkins (80, 77, 80) cruised to an easy 11-stroke win in the Queensland Women’s Mid-Amateur (35 to 50 age group) Championship. She beat Jo Malone of Bribie Island and Maroochy River’s Tam Reid.

Format change for amateur titles Australia’s elite amateur events have been overhauled for the first time in a generation, with the Australian Amateur Championship now including men and women, and played over 72 holes of stroke play, with no match play component and a 36-hole cut.

The field will comprise 105 men and 51 women.

The Australian Junior title will be played under a similar format, except the cut will not be made until 54 holes to give juniors a greater playing opportunity.

NRL circus continues on The NRL circus rolls on and what a circus it has become with lots of clowns and a very angry ring master.

The Covid bubble looks like it is in danger of exploding not just bursting following the raft of protocols breaches in the past week.

Now we all know that Wayne “Super Coach” Bennett has feet of clay and is human after all. Privately he is probably feeling like a bit of a goose. Pizza may no longer seem so appetising after the last one cost him a $20,000 fine.

Paul Vaughan on the other hand has probably sworn off coffee after his $10,000 fine.

Seriously, did Alfie really think he and a couple of mates could get away with a trip to the Caxton to celebrate his birthday and noone would notice or spill the beans?

While the actions of Tevita Pangai Jnr simply beggars belief and gives new meaning to having a “Bad Hair Day.” As this column gets put to bed the news looks to be worse for Pangai with reports the Broncos are set to show him the door following his blatant disregard of the NRL rules. If his contract is to be torn up it is a move which shows that the club officials, like Broncos fans may have had enough.

While coaches have been put on notice do not think you can call into question the integrity of referees and get off lightly. Ivan Cleary is now $20,000 lighter in the pocket.

With six rounds of fixtures remaining, the ring master Peter V’Landys has put the clubs, players and officials on notice. The ARLC commission chairman is furious. Anyone who breaks rank by stepping outside the NRL bubble causing another breach of protocol could crush the code and cost it more than $200 million in losses.

Don’t imagine anyone wants that on their CV? Really people, how difficult can it be.

The club looks to have found its mojo with the inclusion of some English imports adding some starch to the pack.

The team has been solid in defence a fact that has their coach liking what he is seeing at the moment.

Captain Brandon Mayhew, flyhalf Borore Howton and flankers Nick Colvin and Adam Waring were instrumental in the win over Caloundra.

The club has made a good start to the season and is looking to get their hands on the silverware at the end of the season for the first time since 2017.

MIXED BAG FOR PIRATES

The Noosa Tigers Ladies AFL have been making every post a winner since their opening game of the season. They chalked up another good win against North Shore.

ICC POSTPONE T20 WORLD CUP

WINNING WEEKEND FOR TIGERS The Noosa Tigers continued their excellent start to the 2020 with a strong win over Beenleigh this past Saturday. It capped off a great weekend for the Tigers with wins to all four senior teams. At the halfway in this shortened season all are in contention for the finals.

The Senior Men had several changes to their side with the inclusions of two 16 year olds in Shadeau Brain and Jed Aitken. Both took the step up in grade in their stride. Making your senior debut while still a teenager is a great effort at any level. Congratulations to both boys.

The performance of Brain (younger brother of 2010 premiership player, James) was terrific.

When the game was in the balance early and at its quickest Brain was probably the best player on the ground.

He oozes class and is confident, taking on the opposition. He looks to have all the skills coaches and fans like to see in a footballer.

Skipper Aaron Laskey was also once again very influential with Darcy Sullivan (three goals) and Mitch Fraser among the best for the Tigers. Final score 10.7-67 to 5.5-35 This week the senior men take on UQ in an away game at St Lucia.

Tony Brennan’s reserves showed plenty of grit with a come from behind win over their Beenleigh opponents.

After trailing early they pulled away for a solid win. The final score 11-4-70 - 8-4-52.

Adam Curry kicked seven goals and was instrumental in the win. Ben Annett was also very impressive for the Tigers.

The Coolum Noosa Colts had another solid win away in their game against the Redcliffe Tigers. They led at every change in a good all round team effort. The team now prepare to face the strong Victoria Point side in an away game at Redlands this Saturday. It is sure to be a tough game between the two undefeated sides.

After a wet weekend of rugby league, the Noosa Pirates came away with a mixed bag of results in round three.

The Pirates suffered a win and a loss in the games played at home on Friday night.

In the wet conditions, the Under 16’s scored a gritty 16-8 win over Caboolture.

The Under 18’s were beaten 18-4 in their game against the Snakes. This week the Under 18’s enjoy a bye while the Under 16’s have an away game against the Bay at the Kawana Sports centre on Friday night.

The Under 16 Girls also found the vesting Caboolture team too strong and went down 24-14.

On Friday night they play the Kawana Beerwah girls in an away game.

In a tough encounter the under 15’s went down 14-12 to Caboolture. The Under 14 boys had better luck with a 22-20 win over Caboolture in their game played on Saturday.

SCHEDULING MESS FOR WOMEN’S CRICKET One of the superstars of Australian cricket, Alyssa Healy, has taken a swipe at organisers for a change in scheduling that will see a clash between the WBBL and WIPL. At a time when Women’s cricket in Australia is on the rise, it appears to be a strange move and has angered Healy and plenty of her teammates and overseas counterparts.

The Australians are set to miss out on the women’s Indian Premier League exhibition series yet again, with Alyssa Healy describing a needless schedule clash with the WBBL as “sad”.

Healy and other teammates were shocked to read a report on Sunday night that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was looking at a window of 1-10 November.

“The WBBL and BBL don’t run simultaneously,” Healy posted on Twitter.

“So why does the IPL and WIPL have to?

“Considering how fantastic the WBBL is for the internationals who play in it (and for us).

Would be a sad move for our sport.”

There appears to be plenty of support for Healy’s stance.

Australia vice-captain Rachael Haynes tweeted that “while the game continues to grow, premier domestic competitions do not need to compete against each other” while teammate Jessica Jonassen posted “I have no words for this”.

DOPHINS MAKING AN EARLY SPLASH The Noosa Dolphins have fired some early shots across the bows of their opposition with two wins from two outings since the restart of the season.

If actions speak louder than words then there was no mistaking their desire to be in the thick of things at the end of the season after claiming a win over the current premiers Caloundra last weekend.

The Dolphins backed up their first round win with a 21-12 over the Caloundra Light-

The new dates for the ICC T20 Men’s World Cup were announced late last week.

The World Cup which was to take place later this year has been put on ice. The tournament has been postponed until October / November 2022.

The 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will go ahead as scheduled and will be hosted by India in 2021. All teams that qualified for the Australian 2020 event will automatically qualify to play in India.

A new fixture and qualifying pathway for the 2022 World Cup is yet to be announced.

The ICC completed a comprehensive contingency planning exercise before making these announcements. With the health and well being of players and supporters front of mind and because crowds are such an important part of any global event, the ICC believes the postponement will give Australia the best chance to safely host the T20 World Cup with full stadiums. and keeping everyone involved safe and healthy is the number one priority.

Organisers are hopeful that the proposed tour of Australian by India later this year will proceed.

The fate of the Boxing Day Test is in limbo however due to the Victorian Lockdown.

Cricket Australia believe they still have plenty of time left to decide whether they would shift the Boxing Day Test match between India and Australia from the Melbourne Cricket Ground. NO surprise there has been plenty of lobbying from the GABBA, Perth and SA.

Looking forward to play

By Randall Woodley CRICKET CLUB LOOKING GOOD FOR THE COMING SEASON Wicket to Wicket with Randall Woodley Despite the Covid-19 pandemic that has affected sporting clubs and events all around the world, local cricket club, Tewantin-Noosa Thunder (TNT) are primed and ready for an improved season from all their teams.

The committee have been working hard during the winter and have made some important announcements recently.

COACHES - The club has contracted Matthew Pola, who has moved to the Sunshine Coast with his young family from Melbourne (smart man) to be the club coach.

He has had various coaching roles with the Seaford Cricket Club over the past 15 yearshead coach last year and assistant coach before that.

He was a Melbourne A Grade player but will be focusing on coaching both the senior and junior teams this season at TNT. To assist him in the coaching role the club has also contracted Nathan Reardon who will be at the club on a fortnightly basis with both senior and junior teams.

Nathan is an ex-Queensland Bulls player and also played T20 matches for Australia.

He will also be running school holiday coaching clinics and will be available for private coaching sessions.

The club is excited about these appointments and is sure that results in the coming season will reflect the input from these coaches.

GROUND LIGHTING - Funded from a Federal Government Grant, the club have now completed the installation of the most up-to-date flood lights available at a cost of $500,000.

Installation was carried out by Jasstech Lighting who are a specialised lighting con-

tractor. They are the most recent technology LED lights which are able to run “dimmed” at 10% increments. The field will be able to be lit to non-Televised 1st Class Standard for Cricket which is as good as anywhere outside of the 1st Class grounds.

To celebrate this improvement to the grounds a night match is being arranged for Friday, September 11 when the lights will be turned on officially. At 4pm that day the Women’s team will play a Junior Team and at 6.30pm, after the opening, a T20 match will be played between a Team of 100 First Grade Game players and a team of current players.

On this night there will also be the naming of the First Grade Teams of the Decades (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s) Club supporters and past players are invited to this important event.

IRRIGATION - Think Water Noosa have completed the 3rd stage of irrigation which is 22 pop up sprinkler heads which cover the northern end of the field. Noosa Council assisted with 50% of the cost of this work with the club

funding the balance. Further improvements will be made next year.

SENIOR TEAMS - The club is budgeting for 4 teams again this season. Certainly, the First Grade team will be strong with nearly all last year’s players returning plus the possibility of a few new men. The other teams will probably be in Third, Fifth and Sixth Grades. Many of the teenagers who played in the lower grades last season will have benefited from the experience and will add strength to all the teams.

JUNIOR CRICKET - With the assistance of the coaches, much is expected from our junior teams this season. Last year TNT had a record number of juniors playing and with the Signon details to be announced soon, things are looking good. The season will be not be commencing until late October due to the completion of the delayed winter sports seasons.

The State Government is providing Get In the Game Grants of $150 for individuals again.

LADIES CRICKET - The club will again field a Women’s team in the Sunshine Coast compe-

tition and many of their games will be played under lights. Any interested ladies are encouraged to contact the club secretary Jason Toohey on 0402 893 099. The club coaches will have an input into the women’s training program.

READ PARK - It is hoped that during the season, there will be a First or Third Grade Match played every Saturday at Read Park with One Day games to be played on a day/night basis under lights. Plans are in place for Under 14 and Under 16 matches to be scheduled on some Saturday nights.

As the season approaches more details will be released about teams, commencement of training, appointment of captains etc. There are also a number of new rules that have been brought in due to the Covid-19 pandemic and details of these will be published later.

Any enquiries about the season or opportunities to play can be directed to Jason Toohey on 0402 893 099.

The Club has been able to receive a number of small grants to help its recovery - from CAQ, from the Qld Government, from Noosa Shire Council and from Noosa MP and losses during the last few months have just about been covered.

Although there is no inter-club competition (the Sunshine Coast formal competitions have been cancelled but there is hope of some inter-club challenges as soon as things loosen up), Noosa has started to run its own internal competitions. The Jan van der Linden Double Competition has been completed. The Division A was won narrowly by John Olsen and Galina Makarova over Niven Gugich and Colin Hindson, after a tie on games, a tie on hoops, then a decision and their own game result during the competition. Well done John and Galina. The Division B handicap competition was won by John Dark and Jeanette Gentle.

Noosa Tigers AFC wants to thank all continued sponsors for their support during these difficult times.

As with all other clubs, the Noosa Croquet Club are gradually emerging from a couple of months of restraint, and are slowly working through the difficult regulations to remain safe during this dangerous period.

There are the usual moans and groans about being asked to be so particular, but the Committee has continued to keep safety first as its main guide, and most people are happy to go along with this.

The current situation in Victoria, and now New South Wales, underlines the need for a strict maintenance of standards - it will only take one case for Queensland Croquet to be targeted.

“So we restrict our numbers in the clubhouse, bring our own drinks, disinfect our Club mallets, balls, wipe down chairs and all those necessary tasks,” a committee member said. “Social distancing, of course, though that is difficult as we all love to sit around and have a chat at break! But we keep reminding each other.

“We are back to normal play, and numbers are slowly returning. We have changed to an accounting system for payment rather than cash, and a willing club member has undertaken this task.

“One Committee member looks after each play day, and records members who play, as well as any visitors.

“We are back to doubles play and it is clear that people have been cooped up and want to get back to the courts. Lots of elbow-bumping.

The weather has been kind to us, cool mornings and lovely days have seen an increase in numbers.

“We have also had a few enquiries about membership - it seems that a lot of people are sick of being cooped up and are looking around for something to do. Our beginner coaches are hopeful of some new members, even though a bit restricted by the current regulations. We are anxious to have a proper Come and Try Day, which is usually on the first Sunday of each month, but are cautious about running such a day at the moment - we will try for Sunday September 6th, though visitors can always turn up any Sunday morning by 8.30 at our grounds at Seashell Place Noosaville”.

Our People Ron Lane

And still, he serves us

By Ron Lane It was in August 2016, that just prior to the end of his military career as the Training Standards Officer in an Australian Commando Unit, that Peter McCaffery and wife Debra moved to Tewantin. On arrival like many retiring servicemen Peter joined the local RSL Club. “I did so because I felt that when I settled, I would like to be in a position whereby I could give something back to the army; an organisation for which I had deep feelings. But most important of all, it gives me the opportunity to help do what I can, to ensure our veterans are looked after.”

At the time of his retirement (on medical grounds) Peter was posted to the Special Forces Training Centre Holsworthy. He knew the importance of SFTC’s place within Special Operations because of their responsibility for training and selection of all new recruits.

On looking back over the years, he feels that he has lived a very satisfying life.

Born in Newcastle NSW October 25 1956, he started his education at Newcastle Technical High School, and later moved with his family to Clayton Victoria, continuing and finishing his education in Year 11 (at 17 years of age) at the Clayton Technical College. His first job was as an apprentice mechanic and after finishing his time, he spent the next twelve months travelling around Australia with a mate. However, after a year of travelling he found it hard to settle, so in 1980 he decided on a career in the army.

After completing his basic training at Kapooka, he then undertook Corps training at the Infantry Centre Singleton NSW. This was followed by a posting to the 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment Townsville, where he was to spend the next three years, till leaving the army in 1983.

This was followed by a brief time in mining in West Australia but his time in the military had not completely left him, so as a result, on returning to Melbourne he joined the Army Reserve as a member of 2 Commando Company where he trained and qualified for his Green Beret. “The feeling on receiving your Green Beret is something that you will never ever forget,” said Peter. “It is definitely something very special.” After the war Government officials acted too hasty in disbanding the highly trained commando units. It was decided in 1957 to form 1 and 2 Commando Companies to retain the commando skills and tactics.

Peter spent the next twelve years in the reserves, during which, he was part of the Army’s support to the Olympic Games. After that he transferred back to the Regular Army and had various postings till 2003: it was then that he finally settled in 4 RAR (Commando) at Holsworthy. During this period his unit was deployed to East Timor, which at that time was experiencing civil unrest. “This was a very volatile time,” said Peter, “due mainly to the presence of a rogue army officer, with a very aggressive attitude by the name of Alfredo Reinado. However, things were held in check and as a result our unit left in late 2006.”

This was followed by a tour in Afghanistan in 2008. During this, he served as a Watch Keeper with the S.O.C.C.(Special Operations & Command Centre ) and worked in support of the British Royal Marines. Then it was back to Australia filling various positions within the 2nd Commando Regiment. The year 2014 saw him transferred to the Special Forces Training Centre where he was to remain until his medical discharge in 2016. “On leaving the military, I had little problems with civil life as I had quite a bit of experience before joining the ADF.” Also, by this Peter was happily married to a lady named Debra: they met in Newcastle in 1989 and married in 1990. “We were introduced by my cousin Ann who was studying with Debra as a student at Tafe College. ”Now happily settled with a family group of four sons, daughter in law and a grandson he couldn’t ask for more“.

In early 2020, while attending a Tewantin Noosa RSL meeting, it was announced that 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 August, 2020

Peter McCaffery and fellow commandos in Afghanistan. the branch of the Noosa Australian Naval Cadets was in danger of closing down. This is the unit of high school Navy Cadets, that we, the proud citizens of the Noosa Shire, take pleasure (since 2003) in watching perform their ceremonial duties, during the Anzac Day Memorial Services.

This evolved because of the lack of staff (only one instructor) with the background necessary to perform the duties required. Listening to the discussions, Peter became aware that here was a situation( because of his background) in which he could become involved: but not only himself but also his wife Debra.

They immediately volunteered their services and now both are involved as probationary instructors, working at the base known as NTS (Noosa Training Ship) Sheean.

“Both of us,” said Peter, “strongly believe that this type of activity, for young people today, is important in promoting pride in their country, in belonging and team work. Their moto of Honour, Honesty, Courage, Integrity, Loyalty and Team Work, emphasize the character of the Training Ship and its place in Australian history.”

Located in Sir Thomas Hiley Park on McKinnon Drive Tewantin, the base is named in honour of 18-year-old Ordinary Seaman Teddy Sheean, killed in action against the Japanese during the sinking of the Australian Navy Bathurst Class Corvette, HMAS Armidale.

Manning a gun position on the deck, Sheean was badly wounded when the ship was heavily straffed by fighter planes.

Ignoring his wounds, Sheean crossed the deck to aid shipmates trying to launch lifeboats with wounded mates on board. After this he returned to his gun position and successfully engaged the attacking fighters, shooting one out of the sky and heavily damaging two others. Having seen the Japanese fighters strafing his shipmates in the water, Sheean ignoring the Abandon Ship order and strapped into his position on this heavy- duty machine gun, this 18-year-old seaman continued to fight.

The men in the water who witnessed the whole action said as the Armidale commenced to sink, Sheean stayed at his post and continued to fight, eventually going down with the ship. In the words of one survivor, “if it wasn’t for the courage of Teddy Sheean none of us would have survived: the japs left us to try and knock out his gun.”

In what was(till last Monday, August 10 at approxomately 2pm). classed by many military historians and high-ranking politicians as an insult, Ordinary Seaman Teddy Sheeans recommendation for a posthumous Victoria Cross (our nations highest award for gallantry) had been refused. But now, after some 78 years of research and reconsideration, it has finally been approved. Originally in its place, a

Peter McCarrery posthumous Mention In Despatch was awarded. This award is generally considered to be at the lowest in our list of decorations. As one can see, there is definitely a very proud tradition attached to the naming of our Tewantin Naval Cadet Training Ship. Now Naval authorities’ can proudly add the letters V.C. behind the name of this 18-year-old Australian sailor, whose name out Tewantin Training Ship proudly bears.

“For our cadets they parade every Tuesday, 5.30pm--8.30pm. For me it is definitely going to be very interesting,” said Peter with a smile, “changing from army terminologies to naval, but I feel sure it is going to work. The Navy Cadets have a lot to offer. First of all, uniforms are supplied free, then there are many courses available: communication, seamanship, ceremonial and weapon safety and logistics ; op-

portunity to sail corsairs, drive power boats as well as attend camps; any- where from Gladstone to Tweed Heads. It also gives the cadets the opportunity to make new friends and develop their capability as potential leaders.”

For Peter, when he said joining the RSL gave him the opportunity to put something back into the organisation, this would have to be a classical example. The lessons that this ex Commando has learned from the training camps in Australia, to the jungles of Timor and the desert sands of Afghanistan, are invaluable: there- fore the opportunity for Peter McCaffery (totally supported by wife Debra) to pass this knowledge on to the youth of our community, should be proudly and gratefully acknowledged. Proud to say they are now OUR PEOPLE.

Four from four for Tigers

By Julian Pitts The Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers made it four straight wins to start the season with a six goal victory over a very resilient Beenleigh in Brisbane last Saturday.

In fact it was a terrific weekend for the Tigers with all four senior teams victorious and all sitting proudly in finals contention at the halfway mark of this shorter Covid season.

The senior men had several changes to their side with the inclusions of two 16-year-olds in Chadeau Brain and Jed Aitken.

And by all reports neither let them down.

To be making senior debuts in your teens is a great effort at any level so a massive congrats from all the Tiger faithful to theses two boys.

It must be mentioned that the performance of Brain (younger brother of 2010 premiership player and gun James) was just phenomenal.

And when the game was in the balance early and at its quickest Brain was probably the best player on the ground. He oozes class,takes the opposition on and has all the skills you like to see in a footballer. Just a very exciting debut from a family that just keeps producing elite

country and high level footballers. Of course Brain wasn’t alone on Saturday with skipper Aaron Laskey again very influential with Darcy Sullivan (3 goals) and Mitch Fraser among the best for the Tigers.

Tony Brennnans reserves had a hard fought victory after trailing early with Adam Curry (7 goals) the key stakeholders behind the win.

Young South Warrnambool recruit Ben Annett also very impressive for the tigers.

The Coolum Noosa colts had another solid win away to Redcliffe with the victory being an

all round team effort as our boys get ready to face the strong Victoria point at Redlands this Saturday to see who grabs top spot and remain undefeated.

And last but certainly not least our Peter Trompf coached women had a comprehensive victory over North Shore with Maddy, Jess, Eliza and Jessica Trompf all in the best players.

Seniors are away to UQ in Brisbane this Saturday and all the best to all Noosa tiger teams playing this weekend Go Tigers

Dragons play well.

Dragon skills continue to improve and develop U9s Vs Saints by Team Manager Andrew Hillhouse The Eumundi Dragons under 9 team continues to improve and develop. The had a hard fought win against Saints in Gympie on Saturday. The whole ream stepped up this week with very ferocious work in the rucks and mauls by Josh V, Jett D, Josh K , Ted W and George H. Many times the dragons would come out with the ball resulting in some strong close running by Josh, Josh and Jasper.

When the ball went a bit wider and George H, Josh V , Tristan Y ,Brooklyn and Aiden H would make breaks around and through the opposition. Trys were scored both in tight and out wide. Passing and ball skills also improved from last week. This week our defense was much stronger with many tackles made by every member of the team at times holding the opposition out meters from the try line for numerous phases. There were some heroic try saving tackles by Aiden and Tristan on much bigger players and it was great to see Aiden run almost the full length of the field to catch and tackle a runaway Saints player.

Many thanks to Tristan and Jack for running on after the U8s game to play a full game for the U9s. Player of the week this week goes to Aiden for showing great spirit and bravery

and always backing up. Also great to see the team acknowledge each others efforts.

U8 match report by Team Manager Jero Mansell The Eumundi Dragons U8’s played an awesome game in damp conditions at the home of the Gympie Hammers. Excellent support play was a strength again this week on top of some improving tackling and ball protection. Quil, Finn and Tristan lead the way on tackling bringing down a number of Saints players. Hunter, Jack and Zac made some great runs around the edges and through the middle with CJ Delivering a player of the day performance in support, stealing the ball and making some great passes. Well done Dragons.

U11 Match Report by Team Manager Pamela Campbell-Jones The Dragons met Noosa Red at Gympie on Saturday for another grinding game of rugby.

The Reds started well earning plenty of possession and though the Dragons were working hard making plenty of tackles, the scoreboard was in Noosa’s favour.

The second half saw the Dragons with more possession and playing well as a team.

They certainly won the second half with some impressive strong runs and good team

tries, though Noosa had enough of a lead from the first half to keep the win.

The Best Team Mate was awarded to Will

Sparks who seemed to be in everything, tackling well and applying pressure.

Another strong week Dragons - keep it up.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Felipe Toledo in winning form at the Rumble.

Pictures: WSL

The pros are back in town The long hibernation of international pro surfing finally came to an end (of sorts) in the wee hours of last Monday morning (Noosa time), and your columnist, formerly an incurable World Surf League tragic, slept right through it.

It’s amazing to reflect on the fact that the last WSL event I took any notice of - and virtually the last WSL event that was held this year - was the Noosa Longboard Pro which, conducted in pretty ordinary Noosa West sideshore beachies, certainly had a snooze factor after local chance Harry Roach was somewhat unfairly eliminated. But what can have happened in less than six months that would allow me to sleep through an event featuring the world’s best where the waves were guaranteed to be perfect?

I’ll tell you what. While the pandemic hasn’t cured much else, except the surplus, it may have cured me of a decade-long addiction to live broadcasts of championship events. They went away in February, and in truth I haven’t missed them. Haven’t even thought about them, haven’t wondered how Felipe or Julian or Steph or Sally are handling their iso, or how Gabby is coping with his anger management, haven’t given any of it or them a thought.

And quite frankly, this prelude to a pro season that is most unlikely to happen left me pretty cold from the get-go. Okay, it was being held in the Lemoore Surf Ranch in Central California where your columnist last year tried and failed to sneak under the fence and play with the rich boys, and is therefore just a little prejudiced against the joint. And it had a very silly name - Rumble at the Ranch - which conjured up Ali imagery it could never hope to match.

The Rumble was the first event of the WSL Countdown to the beginning of the 2021 world tour at Pipeline in December, which, on current Covid projections, is not going to be allowed to happen. Timed to coincide with surfing’s debut at the Olympic Games, which is now postponed to next year, it featured US and Brazilian tour surfers who live in California, some of whom would have been representing their country in Japan.

So it wasn’t exactly the second 11 (in fact there were 16) but there were some glaring omissions, like world champs Italo Ferreira and Gabriel Medina, stuck in Brazil, and the entire Australian tour contingent, and the boy/ 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 August, 2020

Toledo and Ho, champs at the Rumble. girl team format, while commendable, seemed to render the exchanges predictable. But yes, I did force myself to watch the highlights, and there were a few.

In case you missed the results on social media (maybe trying to avoid the Covid hysteria at the Civic), Brazil’s Felipe Toledo and Hawaii’s Coco Ho took the win from JapaneseAmerican Kanoa Igarashi and Brazilian-American Tatiana Weston-Webb. Ho, fresh from farewelling her Uncle Derek, the 1993 world champ, was gutsy and great to watch, but took too many risks. Toledo was on song with barrel/air combos one after the other, while Igarashi looked disinterested at first, then angry.

It was a hot, dry day in the dust bowl after all.

But for me the real highlight was Kelly Slater, casual, relaxed and confident as he cruised and completely unruffled when he fell. He didn’t progress too far, but it’s always great to

watch the designer of the wave playing in his own sand box.

So the pros are back, to some extent. I just hope that I can get excited enough to follow the Australian regionals coming up soon, depending on lockdowns.

Half a million surfers and counting There are now more than half a million active surfers in Australia, according to the latest AusPlay survey, commissioned by Sport Australia. Anyone who surfed the Noosa points during the recent school holidays will verify this, since at least four million of them were here!

This is a gross exaggeration, of course, but the numbers were intense, many of them giving our sport a bash for the first time. AusPlay’s third annual survey reveals a three percent increase in the number of Australians engaged in active sports on a regular basis, but some

of the surveying predates the pandemic, and my guess is that a survey conducted over the past four months would reveal a much more significant increase in all individual sports, particularly surfing.

Interestingly, surfing is near the bottom of the top 20, coming in at seventeenth, behind pilates, recreational dancing and cricket. The most popular sport in Australia is recreational walking (like walking to the end of your drive to pick up Noosa Today) with almost nine million of us admitting to the odd amble.

Next up are fitness/gym (pre-Covid) and swimming. So, while surfing might be labouring down the list, if you take a brisk walk out to Granite, do a few stretches on the beach and surf without a leggie, you’ve ticked more boxes than any other activity.

Does that make you feel better?

NOOSA’S ICONIC RESIDENTIAL ENCLAVE

PROPERTY NEWS

LIVE THE HIGH LIFE AT LITTLE COVE

NIC Hunter is no stranger to high-end properties in Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach.

Yet he is very excited about a couple of recent listings.

Visiting the open house at 1 Little Cove, 24 Little Cove Rd, Noosa Heads, on Saturday took me back to the first time I came to Noosa, all those years ago.

The surf was breaking about the same size but that first look was in the late afternoon, just as the sun was setting behind the masts and spars of a yacht at anchor in the bay.

On Saturday there were a lot more people enjoying the surf compared to when we first came here. I guess the secret’s out.

This single-level, house-sized apartment is on the ground level of the Little Cove complex.

It offers three bedrooms, three Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

private, it was built by Hutchinson Builders to the owner’s standards and requirements.

“I have never seen a property so well constructed and with such a practical layout,’’ Nic said.

“Everyone who sees Maher Tce appreciates that it has such a community feel to it.

The property is listed at $4.5m.

SUBDIVISION APPROVAL APPEALS Carol Dolan of Noosa Hinterland Realty is looking for a result at Eumundi on Saturday when she takes the three-bedroom house on 4806sq m to auction at 2pm.

The house at 125 Memorial Dve is circa 1999 but most interest has been in the fact the property has development approval to split into three lots.

“It has been mostly local interest, Carol said, “so we’re hoping for a good day.

“Most interest has been in the subdivision but others like the outlook and the views.

“They are looking to rebuild higher up the block to capture the northerly views to Mt Cooroy.’’

LATE REGISTRATIONS ADD EXCITEMENT It was an interesting morning at Noosaville on Saturday when Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate took 8 Colonial Resort on Gympie Tce to auction.

There had been plenty of interest in the three-bedroom, two-bathroom riverfront penthouse apartment, due to the location, the floorplan and the outlook.

There was a mixture of bidders - seven in total - that included a few registering once auctioneer Gordon Macdonald had started calling for bids.

“That’s always interesting,’’ Chris said.

“It adds to the drama.

“The beauty of a good team is it means extra hands are there to help with the day.

“It was a great turn-out, as you would expect in that position.’’

The property was passed in at $1.6m, leaving Chris to work through multiple offers afterwards.

“I’ll be working through those.

“Bidders were local and from interstate, as well as from over the ditch in New Zealand.

“Apartments of that size with that outlook do not come up that often.’’

STRONG DEMAND FOR NOOSAVILLE UNITS Twin Quays has always been a highly sought-after complex with strong returns.

So, it comes as no surprise the two fullyfurnished units 14 and 15 in the Albert St complex in Noosaville are under offer.

Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate said the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, twocar units were well located just off Gympie Terrace.

“The buyer interest has come from a good cross-section,’’ she said.

“Absentee investors have shown strong interest and made use of the virtual tour to view.

bathrooms, courtyard pool and single-car garaging.

The beach is right opposite and there are filtered glimpses of the water through the trees.

Nic had a good response to the first open house in a campaign that sees the apartment go to auction Saturday, 5 September, at 10am.

“They all loved the spot,’’ he said. “They know the area really well and see the benefits of that position.

“They realise what quality real estate really is.

“The amount of phone calls is very pleasing. It shows the recognition people have for the spot, whether they are buying or not. They just want to know about it.’’

There is so much space and light in the apartment while retaining privacy. And there would be the sound of the surf of a night.

With 9m of stacker and sliding doors to the north, the main living area opens out to a wide balcony. Yet there is another set of sliding doors to the courtyard and pool.

The kitchen is in white two-pac cabinetry and stone-topped bench-tops.

In the north-east wing, the main bedroom suite opens to a balcony and an outlook towards the beach.

There is a curved vanity in the ensuite with twin wash basins and double shower.

The balcony also serves the third bedroom, and both look back over the main pool area of the complex.

A guest suite in the south wing opens out to a courtyard garden. It has its own ensuite with double wash basins, shower and stand-alone oval bath.

There is a third bathroom which is shared with visitors.

Nic is also marketing a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with eight-car garaging at 17 Maher Tce, Sunshine Beach.

The spectacular beachside house features a glittering pool, a central lounge zone and two parallel, island-style bars with limestone tops and numerous fridges next to the dining area.

There is also another lounge opening out to a massive north-easterly terrace.

“The strongest inquiry; however, has come from local buyers both from the Noosa area and surrounding areas, Brisbane and South-east Queensland.

“We have seen strong demand for investment properties and many buyers are just wanting to establish a holding in the area.’’

Another listing Melanie is keen on is 5/9 Lake St, Tewantin. It’s in a small complex with low body corporate fees.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse with single-car accommodation is ideal for permanent living, as a holiday apartment, or as an investment property, she said.

Beautifully renovated, it is being marketed at offers in the $500,000s.

The townhouses were designed by a local architect in a classic style reminiscent of the Bahamas, with steep pitched rooves, lattice feature detail, raked ceilings, and clerestory windows looking towards Lake Doonella.

The location of the complex provides water glimpses through the tropical gardens and trees.

DESIGNER DUPLEX VILLAS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY David Garwood of Garwood Estate Agents believes the demise of TIKE group’s developments in Noosa has seen opportunities for buyers of quality duplex villas.

On Saturday, August 22, he is taking two separate three-bedroom, two-bathroom villas with pools at 1 and 2, 19 Ann St, Noosaville, to auction at 10am.

“Very well conceived, with a high level of finishes and facilities, unfortunately they were pitched at too high a price,’’ he said.

“Each area has a price point or range where buyers feel comfortable, as do the banks with any financing.

“The Ann St properties are, without doubt, the best positioned of the three duplexes but the close to $2m expectation was unrealistic with the majority of similar properties in the $1.2-1.4m range.

“Historically, the target market for this product is the retiree/downsizer selling their Noosa Waters or Noosa Sound homes, and downsizing in both price and size.

“The developer has installed a lift shaft, sized to take an off the shelf lift system, for that demographic.’’

A three-bedroom house on 4806sq m at 125 Memorial Dve, Eumundi, goes to auction Saturday at 2pm.

What has surprised David is the number of younger couples who are in the play for them.

“The design, layout and of course the location are of a very broad appeal.

“There is no doubt the riverside Noosaville precinct is the most user-friendly part of our lovely town, with the ability to walk or cycle to everything.

“A staggering in excess of 180 enquiries ensued during the campaign, with over 60 actual inspections.

“Delays in obtaining title and a body corporate structure did not help, but now they are ready to go with a spirited auction expected next Saturday.

“There have been offers prior, but our Sydney mortgagees will let it run now.

“The Covid situation did not help either but a detailed video was done and posted on Youtube for the benefit of those who cannot attend.

“Vendors are flexible with settlement terms, for some those for who time could be an issue, worry not.’’

C21 GROUP ON THE MOVE Century 21 Conolly Hay Group is on the move. After nine successful years in their office on the Noosa Hill, Mike Hay and David Conolly have decided to start a new chapter and relocate to the popular Noosa Junction.

Now at a brand new, beautifully finished office at 6/18 Lanyana Way, Mike and David along with an experienced team of sales agents and support staff can enjoy not only a more convenient location but also the benefits of added profile.

“We are now right on the pedestrian

crossing to Noosa Fair, which is a great position to interact with clients, locals and visitors in general,’’ Mike said.

“Our window displays in particular attract a lot of attention. They have always been a great tool to showcase stock, and the added foot traffic we get from this amazing location will benefit our clients greatly.”

The move came after nine years at the old office on the Noosa Hill, which was the first office Mike and David opened together after both working in other agencies prior.

Offices in Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach followed, and now Century 21 Conolly Hay Group have firmly established themselves in the market along the coast and throughout the hinterland.

Moving to a new position within Noosa was a decision which could have not come at a better time, according to Mike.

“The market is really good at the moment, and it has been a record June/ July for us.

“Covid has been a bump for us rather than hitting a wall, as we originally expected. When it first happened, people were trying to get a handle on it.

“Now, more and more people are seeing Noosa, and places such as Byron Bay, as offering the perfect lifestyle.

“The crisis has really motivated people to assess their life and situation and move to Noosa.’’

HANDY CENTRAL LOCATION IN NOOSAVILLE NOOSAVILLE is a wonderful place to live for many many reasons. The Noosaville central location is only a few minutes walk to the river, shops, cafes, doctors and much more.

Property available for purchase is becoming increasingly difficult to find in this sought after location as the lifestyle is easy, with little need for the use of a car.

Petrea Pradella from Garwoods estate agents, has a lovely penthouse available for purchase. “It really is a lovely unit “ she said.

Morning sun bathes the covered balcony and the soaring ceilings with glimpses of sky through the skilleon roofed windows, help create a light, airy feel to the unit.

“Once you are in the apartment you feel tucked away in your own private cosy home, although the conveniences of what Noosaville has to offer is only seconds away”.

The near new apartment consists of two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a covered secure car space and lockup space for extra belongings.

There is a generous inviting pool and spa area with the essential accompanying grassed areas for bbqs and sunbathing.

The exterior area for entertainment is perfect for quests on those summer evenings although still quiet and intimate.

This apartment is currently owner occupied as are others in “Noosaville’s best kept secret called Verano”.

For anyone after a property in this sought after limited location then the opportunity exists now. The vendor of the property would be happy to sell furnished. ●

OPPORTUNITY ON TEWANTIN RIVERFRONT EAST-FACING Noosa riverfront Tewantin property available for purchase is very difficult to find.

Petrea Pradella from Garwoods Estate Agents, has listed for sale a prime Tewantin riverfront property.

“This property is finally available for purchase after many years. The vendors have reluctantly decided to sell as their circumstances have changed,” said Petrea from Garwoods.

The site is a large 1341 square metres with the bonus of being on two titles.

Therefor the buyer could build two separate homes or sell one and build on the other or build over the large site.

“It is always a secure place into which to place yourself, when you can buy a property with options, “ Petrea said.

The views from the current home look across the river to the Tewantin main shopping precinct. This wonderful orientation also attracts good summer cooling breezes which any Queenslander knows are important.

Currently the property has an older home with the current tenant being in residence for nine years. The lucky

purchaser could either elect to retain the tenant and negatively gear or demolish the home and build from this wonderful site, which is only a walk to shops, while still maintaining the privacy of a riverfront site.

Tewantin is experiencing a huge growth spike as a lovely place to reside away from the busy tourist areas of Noosa and Noosaville. The “small town” feel is still

apparent although the demand for property has seen a sophistication creep slowly into the area which has caught many long time locals unaware. The prices achieved for non-riverfront in inferior positions allow this property to comfortably command a price of $1.4 million.

Interest rates are low and will remain low for a few years yet to come. The

exodus from the large southern cities to the “safe states” is now becoming a reality, making towns like Tewantin very very appealing and especially so in this prime position.

Any interested purchaser wishing to stake their claim in the golden vein of Tewantin riverfront should not hesitate to contact Petrea on 0412 626 536. ●

PRIZED LOCATION, CONTEMPORARY CLASS WITH its distinctive midnight blue name and feature panels on the facade, a statement streetscape with tall picket fence fringed by native plants, and a nod to breezy-beachy Santa Fe-style, Indigo is the talk of the town.

Easy to see why in such a prized location. From the street level entrance with its beautiful blue and white tiled wall, step inside the timeless north-easterly facing abode. It offers cool coastal elegance in spades, an abundance of terraces and glimpses of the Coral Sea off Sunshine Beach.

The eyes are immediately drawn to the restrained material palette of custombuilt furniture and timber-look floor tiles in the high ceilinged, sun-drenched living spaces, which extend almost seamlessly to incorporate the 10-metre wide main

terrace. Alfresco dining is obviously a breeze and if you are wondering where sun worshippers and swimmers might be in their element, look below. What a big plus for residents with a massive glistening pool, decks, and garden, plus pavilion area,

outdoor kitchen, barbecue and poolside shower.

The kitchen, with the absolute best Miele appliances including a pyrolytic oven, rangehood, induction cook top and dishwasher also black suede/timber-look laminate cabinetry, mirrored splash-back, island and breakfast bar with stone tops, totally focuses on functionality and entertaining.

In the louvred north wing off the kitchen is another terrace. It is cleverly designed with laundry appliances hidden away. The sink and bench space double as a bar and food prep area as required.

A master suite with walk-in wardrobe plus walk-in shower and double vanities, has access to the main terrace, while another over-sized master suite in the south wing has a terrace with lush plantings, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with an oval free-

standing bath. A queen-sized third bedroom has an adjoining bathroom.

“Indigo is an architecturally designed boutique complex with five-only apartments,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Lauren Chen, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 5 September.

“This apartment is number one for innumerable reasons. It has all the hallmarks of excellence such as a perfect northerly aspect, also design and finishes executed to the most exacting standards.

It’s just a two-minute stroll to Sunshine Beach’s village with its myriad well known bars, cafes and vibrant coffee culture plus with one of the most outstanding beaches and surf breaks in Noosa, this much sought-after location really is world class.” ●

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

FULLY OCCUPIED INDUSTRIAL SITE FOR SALE AN opportunity to acquire a fully leased and functional free-standing industrial investment within one of the strongest growing regions in Australia is available through Savills Sunshine Coast.

The offering is situated across two lots known as 7 Harvest Road and 25 Machinery Road, Yandina and is situated in the well-established Yandina Enterprise Industrial Park, positioned only minutes from the Bruce Highway-Yandina Coolum Road intersection.

As such it is about 20 minutes from Maroochydore and just over one hour drive down to Brisbane Airport.

For sale through Scott Gardiner and Jason O’Meara of Savills Sunshine Coast, the entire property comprises of three warehouses and office buildings totalling 4502sq m* with a total land area of 10,393sq m*.

Boasting prominent street frontages of 30m* along Harvest Road: 30m* and 71m* along Machinery Road, the entire property is fully leased to Nutri-Tech Solutions (NTS) who have just taken up their five-year option which takes them through to 30 September 2025 (plus a further five-year option to 2029). The current net rental is $429,959* per annum (as at October 1, 2020).

Nutri-Tech Solutions have been operating for 25-plus years and are an Australian agricultural company which distribute products internationally to more than 50 countries.

According to Scott Gardiner, State Director at Savills Sunshine Coast, the property ticks a lot of boxes for long term passive investors with a long standing and strong business.

“It is in a prime location with exposure to the Bruce Highway and with strong growth and a region that is on the up when it comes to population growth and the local economy,” he said.

The agricultural industry is a strong performing sector through Covid and provides some assurance of continuity.

“Properties of this size, scale and positioning on a solid new five-year lease terms rarely come to the market,” Mr O’Meara said.

With interest rates at an all-time low now presents an excellent time to invest in industrial real estate.

The property is situated within the well-established Yandina Enterprise Street Estate and is approximately 15 minutes north of Maroochydore CBD and approximately 30 minutes south of Noosa Heads CBD. Travel time from Port of

Brisbane is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Yandina is home to several major businesses, such as The Ginger Factory, a local tourism icon; Nutworks, and local suppliers to the building industry, such as Rockcote and Cordwells concrete, JJ Richards & Sons, BFX Furniture and many others.

Savills Sunshine Coast director Jason O’Meara said: “Yandina has emerged as a base for large distribution facilities, due

to the precinct’s proximity to The Bruce highway (M1), and also as a base for large manufacturing facilities”.

The property is offered for sale at $5.85m.
