Noosa popularity soars Queenslanders have taken on board the message to holiday at home this school break with visitors flocking to Noosa for surf, sun and the hinterland. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said it was great to see Noosa busy but they would be working hard to maintain visitor numbers with a lull expected after the holiday break.

Doggone dollars By Jim Fagan Bella means beautiful in Italian but to Margaret and Don Bayles, Bella, their 12-yearold Jack Russell, is not only beautiful she is a much-loved member of the family. That’s why they are paying $19,000 to take her home to Tasmania this Friday in a privately chartered Cessna Citation CJI jet. “Because of the Covid 19 restrictions, it’s the only way we can get her back,” Don told Noosa Today. “At the moment Virgin is the only airline flying into Hobart that takes pets but it is under administration just now and has very few flights. “We’ve tried eight times to take her with us only to be informed the flight has been can-
Don and Margaret Bayles with Bella celled. It’s also meant we have had to go to the end of the waiting list. “When I was told it could be possibly the
end of November before we could get back with her, I started ringing round airlines with private aircraft. “I found one in Armidale and the plane is coming to Maroochydore on Friday and then taking us to Hobart. Bella will be in the cabin with us, sitting right at our feet in a comfortable little container.” Don and Margaret have had Bella since she was eight weeks old. “She’s part of our family,” said Margaret. They have been coming to Noosa with Bella three or four times a year for the last seven years and have a house in Tewantin. They arrived here in February for a six-weeks stay right at the start of the pandemic. “It’s been a very frustrating time for us.,” said

Don, who had his own electrical contracting business before retiring. “We love Noosa and we have made some wonderful friends but there’s no place like home and we want to make sure we spend Christmas with our family. “We have had offers from people to take Bella and, although they are more than capable, the difficulty is we don’t know how long it will be. If it was a couple of weeks we would consider it. but it might be six months or maybe never.” Don and Margaret will still have to quarantine with Bella for 14 days at their home in Blackman’s Bay, a seaside suburb of Hobart. “it shouldn’t be too hard,” said Don. “We’ve had seven months to prepare for it.”

Detective Inspector Tim Leadbetter from the Organised Crime Gangs Group said Maxima detectives would continue working with regional police to target the unlawful activities of criminal gangs and their networks. “We will continue taking a proactive, intelligence-led policing approach and conduct operations wherever OMCGS are in the state to make our communities safer,” Detective Inspector Leadbetter said.
Woman bitten by bandit during violent break in Two people have been charged after a woman was allegedly assaulted during a break-in at Maroochydore on the morning of Wednesday 16 September. It will be alleged that at around 9.20am a 42-year-old woman was outside her Turner Street residence at the clothes line when she heard noises coming from within the home. As she went inside the woman saw another female walking out of the house carrying a number of items including jewellery from her bedroom. The woman then chased the female and managed to grab hold of her, calling for help. A struggle then ensued during which the 42-year-old was allegedly kicked, punched and bitten by the female as she tried to escape. A 68-year-old woman came to the aid of the victim while a man also approached and attempted to assist the alleged female thief by pulling her free and taking the jewellery.
The man allegedly made several threats towards the 68-year-old woman who then phoned police. Officers arrived a short time later and a man and woman were arrested. Police will allege the pair are known to each other. The 42-year-old woman sustained numerous abrasions and bite marks however was not seriously injured. A 47-year-old Pacific Paradise woman and a 45-year-old Alexandra Headland man have both been charged with one count each of attempted robbery threatening violence, assault occasioning bodily harm whilst in company, enter dwelling with intent and serious assault of a person over 20.

Do Noosa locals know their State MP? In preparation for the upcoming election, a Noosa Today journalist hit Hastings Street to ask locals: Who is the State Member of Parliament for Noosa and what is the most important issue they should be addressing? 1. Marianna Riley “Our MP is Sandy Bolton and I believe a big issue is tourism.
2. Kristy Axe “I have no idea who our MP is. In terms of the issues, we’re pretty happy. Not one to complain.“ 3. Bill Watson “Is it Llew O’Brien? Oh wait it’s Sandy Bolton. I think a big issue is the amount of pot holes on our roads. I counted 27 p o t holes from Tewantin and the council wanted to know how deep they were. The Surf Club carpark also needs to be cleaned.“
The editor’s desk This week, theatres have opened their doors in Noosa, the Queensland Government is set to relax border entry to some northern NSW areas and tourists, mainly Queenslanders, have chosen to holiday at home and many of those are visiting our shire. For Noosa business operators its the news they were hoping to hear. As tourists flood in, most of them by car this may one time when locals overlook the traffic issues that they bring.There has been tragic news with the drowning death of a mother who was swimming with her child at our near neighbour Coolum. We are sorry for such a terrible loss. There was also joy when a lost walker was found alive and well on Fraser Island. Surfers reported seeing sharks swim past at Granite Bay while in Science News a new study has revealed for the first time the size of the prehistoric shark megalodon which they estimate had a body 16m long, a head of around 4.65m, a dorsal fin of 1.62m and a tail 3.85m high. With the state government election just over a month away political parties have begun launching their campaigns. Over the next few weeks Noosa Today will be speaking to the candidates and their plans for the future of Noosa.

Emotional reunion for missing hiker By Abbey Cannan An elderly hiker has been reunited with her husband after being lost on Fraser Island for three days. Police lead a search and rescue for the 73-year-old woman who was last seen on the Fraser Island Great Walk on the afternoon of Thursday 17 September. Madeleine Nowak had previous trail walking experience and was on an organised tour when she became separated from the group in difficult terrain. In what may have helped in her survival, Madeleine had clothing and food with her at the time of her disappearance. Acting Inspector Brooke Flood said the woman was found after coming out of the scrub on to Eastern Beach, where she spotted campers who alerted police. “Surprisingly after three days sleeping rough in difficult terrain she is of good health. There is no immediate concerns about her health and her welfare,” Ms Flood said. “Everybody involved in the search effort was just so relieved. It’s been a really, really long three days. Ms Flood said the whole community played a part in the search and rescue. “The work of the SES during the line searches was just amazing,” she said. “We’ve had volunteers from all across the Wide Bay district. The volunteers and the police who were assisting were basically living rough due to a lack of accommodation for them. Everybody who has chipped in and helped to get this fantastic result have put in 100 per cent effort.”
The Queensland drive market is filling up Noosa these holidays providing business and tour operators a much needed boost. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said “It is great to see high occupancies during the school holidays and there is a definite buzz around town with visitors enjoying our beautiful sunshine and surrounds. The hinterland in particular has been experiencing great demand and we are very fortunate to have had the drive market visiting our region.” In Hasting Street, Heather Colcraft from Ocean Breeze Resort said the resort was “fully booked for the school holidays with most guests from Brisbane and a couple from South Australia. “It’s really good to see and the beach is absolutely packed,” she said.
Charges over Cootharaba stabbing A man has been charged following the alleged stabbing of another man at a Cootharaba home last week. Police say that just after 12am on September 17 an argument occurred between a 41-year-old man and a 60-year-old man, who are known to each other. It is further alleged that during the argument the 60-year-old man armed himself with a knife and assaulted the 41-year-old man, causing a significant wound to his stomach. The victim managed to leave the scene in a vehicle before being found by emergency services a short distance away. He was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with critical injuries. He is now in a stable condition. A 27-year-old woman known to the men was also found at the residence with serious facial injuries and a non-life-threatening wound to her back. She was also taken to hospital and has since been discharged. Investigations are ongoing into how her injuries were sustained. A 60-year-old Cootharaba man was last night arrested and charged with acts intended to maim. He was due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on September 22.
Two-vehicle crash in Woombye Madeleine Nowak was found after three days missing on Fraser Island. Ms Flood said the biggest issue during the search was the difficult terrain. “The bush land is very dense and very thick and the missing person actually said she heard choppers overhead but because of the canopy she just couldn’t get their attention,” she said. “That’s probably one of the most difficult things as well as getting assistance over to the island. It’s a massive logistic process.” Ms Flood said although the island was beautiful, it was a very difficult location when it comes to a search and rescue. “I cannot reiterate enough for people when travelling around the island, walking through
the island, they need to make sure that they’re prepared for the journey they set out on,” she said. “Having enough food and water, and if they do get disorientated and lost, staying in that one location. “If you stay as close as possible to where you have gone missing, the chances of you being located during the search dramatically increase. “The island is very busy during the September school holidays and people just need to be aware and exercise caution while on the island.”
Tourists flocking to Noosa in droves By Margaret Maccoll
IN BRIEF
Alan Golley from Seahaven Noosa said they were at around 75 per cent occupancy this week and looking even better for next week. “They’re all people driving. Most from the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Toowoomba,” he said. Mr Golley said they’d had a few cancellations 3-4 weeks ago when people realised they wouldn’t be able to cross the border. In Noosaville Lydia Keeley said The Islander Noosa Resort had 100 per cent occupancy. “We’ve had a lot of last-minute bookings,” she said. “It’s a different world.” Nora Gleeson said The Beach Retreat Houses at Peregian Beach were full for the school holidays and had been full on the weekends prior to the holidays. “It couldn’t be any better,” she said. “It
seems busy as you move around. Peregian has remained busy.” In the hinterland Nadia Bellerby from Rosecliffe Cottages in Pinbarren said they were full for the holidays and had been totally booked since reopening in June. “We’ve had a huge surge,” she said. “Self-contained isolation is an attraction. People are finding the need to get out in the biosphere and enjoy the birds, and it’s joyful.” Ms Anderson said while the school holidays were looking very strong, there was a lull in October and November that they will be looking to fill. “With the announcement by the Queensland Premier of the borders relaxing, we will be channelling some of our digital marketing into those areas to entice visitors to Noosa,” she said.
At 6.28pm on Monday night, paramedics responded to reports of a two-vehicle crash on the Bruce Highway on ramp and Nambour Connection Road. A female patient in her 30s was subsequently transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition with abdominal pain.
Armed robbery charges in Little Mountain Three people have been charged following an armed robbery at Little Mountain last month. The trio attended a Ridgewood Road address around 7pm on Saturday, August 15 where it will be alleged a 23-year-old man was assaulted out the front of the residence. The group then fled in his Subaru Impreza. The Wurtulla man was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. His car later located at a Beerwah address. A 31-year-old man was charged on August 16 with robbery in company, assault occasioning bodily harm, stealing of a vehicle, possessing anything used in the commission of a crime, possess utensils or pipes and two counts of possessing dangerous drugs. He is due to appear before the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on October 7. A 28-year-old man and 26-year-old woman have both been charged with armed robbery, assault occasioning bodily harm while armed and stealing of a vehicle. The pair fronted the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Thursday 17 September.= Investigations are continuing.

Holiday beach tragedy By Abbey Cannan In a sad start to the school holidays, a woman has drowned in front of her family at an unpatrolled beach south of Coolum. Natasha Thorpe, 34, of Toowoomba was swimming with her eight-year-old daughter at First Bay on Monday morning when the pair were dragged out to sea. Despite her daughter safely making it back to shore, Natasha’s body was found shortly after floating in the water by two surfers who sprung into action to attempt to save her. A Surf Life Saving Queensland spokesperson said an off-duty lifesaver assisted in performing CPR until paramedics arrived. “Lifeguards who were setting up patrol at a nearby beach also assisted,” a spokesperson said. Sergeant Peter Blake from Coolum Police Station arrived on the scene shortly after paramedics and was faced with a confronting scene and a distraught family. “For such a tragic event to take place in front of their eyes, it’s tragic,” Sergeant Blake said. “Especially for the two surfers and the ambulance officers that performed CPR for so long in very difficult circumstances. Drownings are just terrible.” Sergeant Blake said the drowning occured on the first day of school holidays and it brought home the flag safety message. “Whether it looks safe or you think it’s safe, it might not be and the safest way to go to the beach is to swim in between the flagged areas,” he said. He said there was a bit of swell running with a sweep down the beach and a rip running at the northern end when the drowning occurred. “If you’re an experienced surfer you would know that those conditions are fairly dangerous because the sand bank is there one moment and then gone the next,” he said.
A floral tribute left at the entrance to the beach where the tragic drowning occurred on Monday. “For an inexperienced beach-goer the water does look very inviting, but the sweep can just knock you off your feet and drag you out to sea in moments.” Police are hoping to speal the surfers who attempted to save Natasha’s life. “What they did was brave and they did such an excellent job that while the ambos were setting up equipment, they continued to perform CPR,” he said.
“Unfortunately they left before we got there and we don’t know who they are. “They would be feeling it the most because I’ve been a policemen for 30 years and they were obviously two young men and we just want to catch up with them and make sure that they are okay. “If they could contact myself at Coolum Police Station that would be great.” A SLSQ spokesperson said they wanted to
Picture: ROB MACCOLL extend their thoughts and sympathies to the victim’s loved ones. “SLSQ will work with relevant authorities including the Queensland Police Service, Queensland ambulance Service, and the Queensland Coroner,” SLSQ said. “[We] remind all swimmers to only swim between the red and yellow flags at patrolled locations.” Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

Noosa Heads park boost Noosa Council will open Noosa Heads Lions Park to paid parking for the first time in the September school holidays and ask the State Government for permission to open it for all school holidays and long weekends for the length of Covid-19 Health Declaration. This move that is in addition to opening the park for Christmas and Easter school holidays is aimed at providing extra parking spaces for the drive market expected to arrive in the shire. “Given the border closures, our local businesses are relying on Queensland visitors. With many of them hopping in their cars to drive here we need to do all we can to accommodate them so they can get out and about and support local businesses,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “Providing extra parking so that more people can come here and get out and about in Noosa during the holidays can only help our economy. “The extra parking will also assist locals who are holidaying at home and want to venture into Noosa Heads during the school break.“ At Council’s Ordinary Meeting last Thursday Cr Frank Wilkie who did not support the move said it was a good short term measure to support businesses but in the long term shutting the green space risked reducing the visitor experience to Noosa and diminishing the emphasis on transport initiatives aimed at reducing traffic to Hastings Street. Cr Brian Stockwell pointed out that public transport had been significantly affected by fears of people over the pandemic which could extend to Noosa’s free holiday buses, and result in an increase in drive tourism. “If it was business as usual we’d continue with our strategy to promote alternative forms of moving people into the Hastings Street precinct - such as the free buses - during peak
Lions members manage Lions Park holiday parking times, as well as phase out the use of the Lions Park for parking at Christmas,” Cr Stewart said. Council will close the Lions Park to vehicles as required during wet weather, in order to minimise damage to the grass. Tewantin-Noosa Lions Club will manage the paid parking from 19 September to 5 October paid parking with 50 per cent of the proceeds going to the Lions Club and the other 50 per cent to be used by Council to maintain and
improve the park and fund temporary fencing and signage. Lions member Ian Grew said the income to the club would go back to the community in some form of assistance.Mr Grew said club members were happy to volunteer to run the car park and enjoyed talking to visitors as they came in. The financial gain for the club was significant with the club sometimes placing 400 cars a day.

John is coming home Following Noosa Today’s exclusive on the plight of local cancer patient John Bowie last week, a Sunshine Coast representative of Queensland Health who had seen the coverage of the yellow shirt protest staged by John’s friends, contacted the Bowies in Sydney to inform them that the decision to deny them hotel quarantine exemption had been reversed. A great victory for people power, but more importantly, a huge relief for John and Chris Bowie, who fly home in two stages this weekend, with Noosa friends lining up to help them through the rigours of home quarantine. Says former cartoonist John: “All this has been a very humbling and emotional experience for us both, as I’m usually the one trying to spread happiness and good cheer to all and sundry. This reciprocation is a little overwhelming and unexpected. As my health prognosis is not the one we were hoping for, compared to some in similar situations, I’m fine, and I hope to keep annoying people for as long as I can.” Keep up the spirit, John.

John Bowie wants to spend his final days at home - but the Queensland government has knocked back his request to be exempt from hotel quarantine. Dressed in yellow, just like the bike he rode frequently along Noosa Parade to the beach, 50 of his friends gathered together at Main Beach to protest the lack of compassion.

Survival stance By Phil Jarratt While many of Australia’s leading universities are in grave financial strife as Covid-19 tears apart the international student market, the man responsible for making University of Sunshine Coast a significant player in what is now Australia’s third biggest export industry, says that an overdue trimming of the fat from administrative ranks as part of an early and fast response to the pandemic, is helping save USC. Professor Robert Elliot, who joined USC as foundation Dean of Arts when the university college began with a few hundred students a quarter of a century ago, retired last month as its longest serving senior executive. In an exclusive, wide-ranging and forthright interview with Noosa Today, Professor Elliot reflected on
his role in securing USC a piece of the pie during the rise of Australia’s now-endangered $30 billion international education industry over the past two decades, and his more recent role as acting Vice Chancellor during the Covid crisis in helping secure the university’s future. Somewhat surprisingly, Professor Elliot supports the Federal Government’s exemption of the university sector from JobKeeper support. “In my view USC was top-heavy, with too high a proportion of administrative staff relative to academic. Covid forced us to address these problems, and I’m sure that would be the case for other Australian universities. I think that for many there was a lot of fat in the system, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable of the Commonwealth to be asking the sector to be finding savings on their own behalf. USC has gone through the process of voluntary redun-
dancies and some forced ones, and that will probably continue.” In March this year, in addition to his role as Pro Vice-Chancellor International, Professor Elliot was asked to step in as acting ViceChancellor following the retirement of Professor Greg Hill, just as the grim realities of the coronavirus hit home. He says: “In second semester this year we recruited zero students from offshore. In a normal year we would have recruited around 700 commencing students from offshore, and each of those would have been paying between $10,000 and $15,000 for that one-semester experience, depending on what they were studying.” Faced with an immediate deficit of $7 million to $10 million, Professor Elliot and USC chief financial officer Elizabeth Cannon set up a pandemic response group to first deal with
the lockdown issues, then address the financial impact. Within six weeks they had implemented a package of cost-cutting measures and budget targets designed to ensure USC’s survival. Early in his distinguished career, Robert Elliot wrote a fascinating thesis and then a book called Faking Nature, which explored the ethics of ecological restoration, often a leave pass for companies to destroy a natural environment. Now, as he heads into retirement, he says he plans to do some of his own faking of nature, revegetating a hinterland acreage. But he’ll still be at USC at least one day a week, helping guide the international program he created through its post-Covid recovery. Professor Robert Elliot is in The Hotseat, see page 29.

Owner urged to clean up By Margaret Maccoll Former owner of the Peregian Village building at 6 Heron Street Dave Maloney is disappointed at the state of the building formerly occupied by Friendly Grocer and has appealed to the new owner to do something about it. Earlier this month the Planning and Environment Court rejected an appeal made by Andema Pty Ltd against Council’s refusal to allow the construction of a three storey development that included a restaurant, retail area, office units and roof top terrace. Last week Noosa Council refused a request by the current owner Andema Pty Ltd to extend the approved application made by Dave Maloney Investments in 2012.
Mr Maloney said he had a building designed by local architect Dan Sparks approved by Council in 2012 then sold the property in 2016.“It’s very disappointing that the site has sat vacant and in a state of decay for so many years,” Mr Maloney said. “What makes it even worse is the disgusting display of rubbish and left over shop equipment visible through the windows. If the building isn’t going to be demolished and redeveloped anytime soon, the owners should do the right thing, clean up the mess and make it less visually offensive. It wouldn’t take more than a few hours and a skip or alternatively cover the windows. It is just plain disrespectful to the rest of the shop and restaurant owners who take such pride in the Peregian Square.”
Vacant building an eyesore in Peregian Village.
Noosa Shire home to 100th Mobile Black Spot site The Noosa Shire is set to be more connected than ever with Optus switching on its 100th Mobile Black Spot site at Boreen Point. This was enabled through a partnership with the Queensland Government as part of the Federal Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program. Co-located on an existing tower along Lake Flat Road, the site will provide coverage to Boreen Point and surrounds, including the popular sailing and fishing spot of Lake Cootharaba.
More than 640 homes will now be able to connect to Optus mobile reception for the first time, providing them with the ability to make and receive calls, texts and browse the internet. Additionally, more than 80 square kilometres of area surrounding the site will receive brand new Optus coverage, as well as 11 kilometres of new road coverage along sections of Louis Bazza Drive, Junction Road, McKinnon Drive and Cootharaba Road. Andrew Sheridan, Optus’ Vice President of
Regulatory and Public Affairs said, “It’s fantastic to be celebrating the milestone of our 100th Mobile Black Spot site by announcing first time coverage in Boreen Point, the gateway to some of Noosa’s most vibrant holiday attractions.” “Being an area frequented by tourists and locals alike, especially with Queenslanders taking advantage of holidaying within their own sunshine state, we are thrilled to make sure those in the area have the coverage in place to not only access reliable connectivity, but be able to share their adventures with
family and friends even faster.” Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, welcomed the milestone, and said the Government was committed to expanding mobile coverage across regional Australia. “We’re investing $380 million in improved network infrastructure so people across Australia - including those living in or visiting Boreen Point - can rely on high quality mobile services to conduct business, study and stay in touch with family and friends,” Minister Fletcher said.

Environmental plus for flora and fauna The Yurol-Ringtail Conservation Project is on track to become one of Noosa’s most significant environmental initiatives. A collaboration between the Queensland Government, Noosa Council and Noosa Parks Association, and supported by HQPlantations, the conservation project aims to convert 2,450ha of state forest into national park, which will create and conserve habitat for koalas and many other plants and animals. Already 357ha of state forest has been placed into national park protection. A major initiative, it will take a number of years for the full transition to national park to occur and in the meantime plantation timber harvesting of some of these areas will continue. Council’s Principal Environment Officer, Peter Milne, said the existing state forest plantation timber had to be harvested in order for natural regrowth to occur. ”Some areas will need a helping hand with weed control and tree planting to bring it back to a natural condition,” he said. ”Noosa and District Landcare and Queensland Koala Crusaders, with the help of volunteers, and funding from the Body Shop and Peppers Noosa Resort and Spa, have already planted 100ha of land with 24,000 trees. ”We can expect more timber harvesting during drier weather, particularly in Yurol State Forest near Pomona.” For safety reasons Council has closed the Noosa Trail Network where timber harvesting operations are under way. ‘‘Despite the warning signs, some visitors have ignored trail closures and entered timber harvesting areas while operations are under

It’s essential that visitors comply with all workplace signage and do not cross barriers, for their own safety and the safety of forest workers.” Visitors who ignore and pass beyond workplace safety signage face significant fines or potential prosecution under workplace health and safety laws.” More information on Noosa Trail Network closures can be found on Council’s website www.noosa.qld.gov.au/services-facilities/ parks-facilities/noosa-trail-network
Government agencies have been preparing for the spring fire season. This includes undertaking several planned burns and expanding fire trails within the bushland reserve network. Monitoring of the regrowth after the state forest plantations are harvested has also been occurring. ”Each area is different,” Mr Milne said. ”Some areas would benefit from fire to control weeds and stimulate natural regrowth. However, in other areas where regrowth is already established, a fire could actually destroy the smaller trees and set back the regeneration.”

Coolum’s new police station Minister for Police Mark Ryan joined Commissioner Katarina Carroll to officially open the new Coolum Police Station last week. The construction tender for the project went to Sunshine Coast-based firm Badge Constructions. Minister Ryan said the state-of-the-art $2.7 million station would provide police with the facilities they needed to keep Coolum safe. “A world class police service deserves world class facilities, and that’s exactly what we’re delivering for the Sunshine Coast,” he said Commissioner Carroll said the new station provided frontline police with the technology and resources required for policing today and well into the future. “I am honoured to be here for the opening of the new Coolum Police Station,” Commissioner Carroll said. “The opening of this new station is both a continuation of the history of service the QPS has offered to the Sunshine Coast community and a positive step into our future as a world-class police service. “I know that Coolum officers are very excited about this new station and will continue to provide dedicated service to their community members.” The $2.7 million station has been under construction since February, and will now house 24 officers. Police officers will no longer have to work out of a demountable donga after their move to the new premises.

Noosa Show grant By Abbey Cannan The Noosa Show Society will continue to delight, entertain and connect the community after receiving a $14,419 grant from the Queensland Government’s Show Societies Grants Program. Noosa Show Society president Charlie Pattison said the funding would assist them with the costs involved in keeping the showgrounds in good condition until the next Show which will be held on 9 and 10 September 2021. “We greatly appreciate this funding as it will allow us to carry on with our planned facility upgrades including improved access to the pavilion, new bench seating around the main arena and at the wood chopping, new portable grandstands, removal of debris and rubbish along with our normal maintenance programs and mowing schedule,” Mr Pattison said. Noosa wasn’t the only show society to receive a helping hand, with Eumundi Park Recreation and Showgrounds Association, Kenilworth Show and Rodeo Sub-Committee and Maleny Show Society also receiving their share of grant money. “It has taken a lot of financial pressure and uncertainty from our budgets and lets us get on with planning next year’s show,” Mr Pattison said. “Our next General Meeting will be held Wednesday 7 October at 7pm in our main pavilion and I would personally like to invite all members as well as anyone else who might be interested in the planning of our 2021 show to attend. “If you are interested but can’t make it to the meeting please contact Carole at our office on (07) 5485 2331 between 9am to 4:30pm (except Thursdays) or Charlie on 0404 062 108.” Minister for Local Government Stirling Hinchliffe said the importance of the local show will be even greater in 2021, helping Queensland communities unite and recover

Hinterland riders rejoice: the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Regional Council are teaming up to build a new $1 million bike path in Eumundi. The 290-metre path will run from the Eumundi-Noosa Road rail bridge to Seib Road and include a new bridge over the North Maroochy River. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said they know building separated bike paths encourage more people to ride, which is a healthier and more environmentally-friendly way to travel. “This project has been prioritised for Eumundi in the latest round of the Palaszczuk Government’s $15 million cycle network local government grants program,” he said. Sunshine Coast Regional Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the need for a safe link over the North Maroochy River into Eumundi has long been identified by Council and by the Department of Transport and Main Roads and now it would become a reality. “The existing bridge on EumundiNoosa Road has limited provision for cyclists and pedestrians to safely cross the North Maroochy River, so a new solution is clearly required,” he said. “The Seib Road location is in close proximity to the existing bridge and our Council confirmed its contribution to this project as part of its 2020-2021 Budget. “Many local residents will also be pleased to know that the proposed pedestrian/cycle bridge also has capacity to cater for recreational trail use, such as horse riding, which is popular in the local area.”

Large Air Tanker arrives
Yandina celebrates 150 years.
Queensland has welcomed the arrival of a long-term Large Air Tanker (LAT) Bomber 141 ahead of the 2020 bushfire season. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the $15 million aircraft will bolster the state’s aerial firefighting capabilities over the next five years. “Last year’s bushfires were unprecedented with 7.7 million hectares scorched across the state, destroying homes and businesses,” the Premier said. “The road to recovery from disasters is often long, and the work to rebuild from those bushfires is continuing, but in the meantime, we must also be prepared for this year’s bushfire season. “We saw how valuable waterbombing efforts were at Peregian, Sarabah, Stanthorpe and Pechey last year and that’s why we started planning for the acquisition of our very own LAT early on in last year’s season. “Earlier this year I announced $15 million for the tanker to enhance the state’s bushfire response over the next five years. “This 10,000 litre aircraft will ensure our communities are protected - from this bushfire season and well into the future. “I want to welcome the aircraft and crew to its new Bundaberg base and for joining our emergency response team to protect Queenslanders.” Treasurer and Minister responsible for the Queensland Reconstruction Authority said $40,000 would also be spent installing critical water and electrical infrastructure for the LAT at its new Bundy base. “The water supply will fill foam/retardant mixing tanks from which the Large Air Tanker is filled and the electrical supply will service a demountable base office,” he said. “Together, these measures will provide seamless firefighting resupply services that will see improvements to bushfire safety of the entire Bundaberg community.

Community milestone History was made on Tuesday as the township of Yandina not only celebrated 150 years since the proclamation of Yandina as a Township Reserve but also marked the occasion with the sealing of a time capsule. Community groups and local businesses gathered to celebrate one of the oldest towns on the Sunshine Coast and paid tribute at a commemorative plaque. Division 10 Councillor David Law said he was pleased to see Yandina had retained its cultural heritage and character. “Congratulations to all past and present residents of this great town that has a very bright future,” Cr Law said. “Yandina is a very popular part of the Sun-
shine Coast and has many wonderful attractions for visitors to enjoy.” Yandina Chamber of Commerce President John O’Leary said it wasn’t often people got to celebrate a 150-year milestone. “It’s really something special. Yandina was the first gazetted town [for the Maroochy district],” Mr O’Leary said. “We call it the original workers’ town because that’s where all the railway, cattle, dairy and sugar were, and all things that workers needed. “It’s still retained its character with the pub, historic buildings and quirky businesses including antique shops, art stores and vintage clothing. It really has a great village vibe to it.”
A long-term Large Air Tanker (LAT) Bomber 141 has arrived in Queensland ahead of bushfire season. Minister for Fire and Emergency Services Craig Crawford said the state has previously relied on the option to source callwhen-needed LATs from interstate. “It’s wonderful to now welcome our very own bomber - to be deployed to fight fires and look after Queenslanders,” Minister Crawford said. “The 2019 bushfire crisis was something none of us will easily forget. That’s why the Palaszczuk Government will continue to invest in our fire service to ensure it has the best equipment and resources to protect everyone right across Queensland.” QFES Commissioner Greg Leach said the LAT would support crews on the ground by providing fast and effective firefighting options throughout bushfire season. “The LAT enhances Queensland’s already effective response and firefighting efforts,” Mr Leach said. “The LAT travels at about 670km/hr and can reach many parts of Queensland in quick time as well as operating at many regional airports throughout the state. “Within one hour of receiving a call out, the aircraft can travel from Bundaberg, north to Proserpine, south to the Queensland-New South Wales border or west to Tambo.”

Noosa’s four horse race Noosa electorate at a glance The seat of Noosa in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland was created in 1992 following the redistribution of the former electorate of Cooroora. With Noosa at its centre and the ocean its easterly border, it runs from Peregian in the south to Eumundi in the west and the southern border of Gympie in the north. Noosa has been held by the Liberals and the LNP for 20 of its 28-year history, with State Ministers Bruce Davidson and Glen Elmes representing it for nine and 11 years respectively. Labor’s Cate Molloy held it from 2001 to 2006 before quitting her party over the Traveston Dam, and serving briefly as an independent. Since 2017 Noosa has been held by independent Sandy Bolton, a former Noosa Councillor, who achieved an 18 percent swing to unseat Glen Elmes. Although the volatile Covid-19 situation makes the statewide result difficult to call, in Noosa the ongoing health and economic crisis is expected to slightly favour the incumbent. Noosa’s independent MP to stand again Noosa’s Sandy Bolton formally announced her intention to run for a second term at the October 31 election this week. Sandy, who has called Noosa home for 30 years, said she has achieved many of her stated goals since her election in 2017, under what have been very unusual conditions with the Parliament losing nearly a fifth of its three-year term in order to tackle the Covid-19 crisis. She has proven by example that an independent MP, without the need to align to any ideology or party, can achieve a great deal through persistence, objectivity, ethics - “and good old-fashioned respect and manners”. “One of the bigger disappointments for Queenslanders is the amount of wasted time taken up in political point-scoring between
the major parties,” Ms Bolton said. “We can and must - do better.” It had been suggested at the beginning of the term that she would not wield much influence, as the election result didn’t leave her in a balance-of-power position. “Ultimately that has made no difference in what I set out to do on behalf of Noosa, and what has been achieved. The results, I believe, speak for themselves,” Ms Bolton said. “Many voters have turned to independents at all levels of government as part of seeking a change to what they see as an outdated mode of politics. Covid-19 has amplified the need for effective systems and governance that ensures time is spent where needed.” Ms Bolton will outline five priority commitments in coming weeks that she aims to take to the next Parliament, with all targeted to be completed in the post-Covid period by 2024. “Our community has worked hard through Covid, including striving through the recovery period to ensure we have the future we seek,” Ms Bolton said. “We are now focusing on what is required to thrive. This brings challenges as well opportunities, and we are well placed and prepared for both.” Independents work for Noosa Two of Noosa’s most experienced political warhorses, former mayors Noel Playford and Bob Abbot, this week claimed that having an independent State member produced the best results for the Noosa community. With more than half a century in local government and plenty of battles with successive Queensland governments behind them, the mayors, both of whom supported Sandy Bolton in 2017, told Noosa Today that while the nature of the individual was critical, the principle of independent representation worked better for Noosa. Mr Playford said: “I think that principle has been proven in Sandy’s first term. She’s evenhanded in her engagement with the political parties, she’s respected by all sides and she delivers. When she’s after something, she doesn’t let it go, but she’s unfailingly polite about it, and she wears people down and gets things that another person might not get. We know that in Noosa because over the years we’ve seen plenty of members unable to deliver from their own party, and at times take their electorate for granted.” Mr Abbot added: “Noosa has established itself as a place that is different, and I think that’s quite obvious to people who come here.
Sandy Bolton, campaign-ready.
Former mayors Bob Abbot and Noel Playford. It doesn’t fit into structural party representation because it needs somebody who is different to deliver what’s needed. I think being part of a political structure actually makes the job harder, and the way Sandy has done that, she’s helped get support for independent members

CAMPAIGN NOTES RHONDA PRESCOTT | SANDY BOLTON
Paramedic runs again Noosa Today will be speaking to all four State Government candidates in the run up to the State Election on 31 October. This week we hear from ALP Noosa candidate Mark Denham. Can you tell us about yourself, your work and your family and where you live? As a veteran paramedic now working at Tewantin Station, I have lived at Cooroibah for 20 years and have strong roots in our community. My four children grew up here, attended Tewantin State School, and then went to Sunshine Beach High. I’m also a proud grandfather of nine and have run a successful local small business with my wife. Why have you decided to run for the seat of Noosa in this election? This is my home - it’s where my children were raised and where my grandchildren are growing up. Through my work as a paramedic, I have the honour of helping people every day, and I see first-hand the needs and concerns of people in our community. I also understand the importance of a strong health response in keeping our community safe, which is why I’m proud to be a part of Annastacia Palaszczuk’s team that has led Queensland through this unprecedented global pandemic. How many previous attempts have you had to win the seat? This is my third run at the seat of Noosa. I love this community and will always fight to make our region a better place to live, work and raise a family.
ALP Noosa candidate Mark Denham What makes this election different? In one word - COVID. As we watch other states and other countries, we are reminded that this virus is still decimating thousands of lives. It’s no accident that Queensland is now in such a strong position, and that’s thanks to both the hard work of Queenslanders and the leadership of our premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk.
The Premier has stood up to bullies from other states to put the health and economy of Queensland first. What are the issues most important to people in Noosa in this election? The issues that I’m hearing about from locals in Noosa are our economic recovery from COVID, roads, healthcare, jobs and environmen-
tal protections - all areas that the Palaszczuk Government has made significant investment in over the past three years and is continuing to support. Noosa locals have also supported Queensland’s Economic Recovery Plan which is well underway and creating jobs for Queenslanders. What would you do to resolve these issues? Queensland’s $8 billion Economic Recovery Plan is already creating jobs, and I’d be strong voice to help deliver our plan to unite, recover and kickstart our region’s economy. This recovery would all be at risk under Deb Frecklington and the LNP who are hiding the cuts they will make to pay for $23 billion of unfunded election promises. Why should people vote for you? What can you deliver that other candidates can’t? Annastacia Palaszczuk’s $8 billion Economic Recovery Plan is vital to Queensland getting through this pandemic. The alternative - a government led by Campbell Newman’s old Assistant Treasurer Deb Frecklington - will lead to huge cuts and a return to the mass sackings of the Newman era, all at a time when Queensland should be building, not cutting. Deb Frecklington called for the border to be opened 64 times, and if the LNP had been in power now, we would be in a situation like Victoria. Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor have put Queensland in a strong position to rebound from the effects of this once-in-a-century global pandemic and I would be proud to represent the people of Noosa as we continue on the path to Queensland’s economic recovery.

Queensland, where he became a roadbuilder for a time, before joining Queensland Railways and rising to the position of Inspector of Bridge Timbers before Elizabeth died in 1880. In 1881, Spencer married Harriet Coram, a girl
from Devon who had arrived in Maryborough on the ship Earl Derby. Accepting a new position on the North Coast Railway, Spencer moved his family to the Cooroy area, and lived by the railway line
at Nandroya, before selecting land at Tinbeerwah in 1891, which he named Devon Park, after his second wife’s birthplace. Here, on Six Mile Creek, he and his grown sons went into the dairy and timber industries while he continued to work on the railways, in positions that sometimes forced him to live in Brisbane. Despite these absences, and his personal financial difficulties from time to time, he was a frequent and generous benefactor of the Methodist Church in Cooroy and its various charities. In 1902, Spencer and Harriet retired to Devon Park, where they enjoyed the company of a growing brood of grandchildren until Spencer’s death in 1914, aged 81. Harriet lived on there until her death in 1934. The couple are buried side by side in unmarked graves in the Cooroy Cemetery. While successive generations of the Sivyer family have spread all over Queensland, much of Devon Park went underwater with the creation of Lake Mcdonald. Corrections: Reader and “old yachtie” Kay Murray points out that I simply didn’t look hard enough in my quest to find a plaque at the Jock Sturrock Bridge in Noosa Waters. In fact it’s on the western side of the bridge near The Promontory. But, she concedes, “it would be nice if the sign was larger so more could acknowledge Jock”. Hear, hear. Reader J.G. Mann points out that the house I identified at Alderly Cottage in Little Cove is, in fact, the house next door. Apologies all round. 12462755-SG39-20
Sivyers Road, Tinbeerwah Unless you happen to be launching a canoe on Lake Mcdonald, or you’re fortunate to live somewhere along its leafy glades, or beyond, on Gumboil Road, you probably wouldn’t have paid much attention to the turnoff to Sivyers Road from the Tewantin-Cooroy Road. It’s one of the quieter neighbourhoods in semi-rural Tinbeerwah, and fittingly it’s named after one of our lesser known pioneers, the quiet achiever, Spencer Sivyer. But while the rest of the world may have forgotten about this versatile timberman, sawmiller, road and bridge builder, Inspector of Timbers for Queensland Rail, pioneer, settler and farmer, his family certainly have not. For much of what follows, I am indebted to sivyer.com.au, one of the best researched and presented family history websites I’ve come across. Spencer Sivyer was born at Peasmarsh, Sussex, England on October 6, 1833, and was five and a half years old when he arrived in Australia with his parents, James and Sarah in April, 1839. James established a timber business in Redfern, and by the end of the 1840s, Spencer and his two younger brothers were employed there. Spencer married Elizabeth Bathgate in 1851, but soon after his father’s business ran into financial difficulties and he was forced to take work on the construction of the Hunter River railway, a job that led to a long career building frontier railways. Somewhere a long the way, Spencer also fell into financial difficulties, and by 1868 he and his young family had moved to Maryborough,

Timber mill playground By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Council infrastructure services were excited when they were handed a brief to create a Hinterland Adventure Playground that was iconic, nature based and all abilities, Council’s Paul Brennan told guests at Noosa Parks Association Friday Forum last week. We were told it should encourage, engagement with the environment, communicate with the environment and attract visitors to the region, he said. “It’s been a challenging project,” he said of the $5.2 million Cooroy playground that is behind schedule and should already be under construction. Mr Brennan said the idea for a hinterland playground was first mooted in 2003, three years after Cooroy’s timber mill was decommissioned and the site handed to council. He said the benefits of a nature-based playground had been widely researched and included physical, emotional and social health. “With some risk kids learn resilience,” he said. “It encourages environmental awareness and stops people fearing the outdoors. “In the 90s playgrounds were made as safe as possible. Now we’ve learnt they were too safe. There has to be an element of risk taking,” he said. “For working families with modern housing and no backyards these places are important for play and to bring families together.” In 2010 the area along the creek was revegetated and in 2017 a buffer of trees planted along the road. Soil on the former industrial site was sent to Germany for testing for contaminants. Mr Brennan said the area had been decontaminated but soil in a couple of areas of the parkland that contained small traces of contaminants would be completely removed to ensure safety.
Hinterland Adventure Park concept plan.
Playground site in Cooroy. In 2018 the design team came up with some ideas and engaged a landscape architect. The concept plan and 3D images were created. The 0.7hectare site is considered small for the type of playground which will contain a number of elements including a green space, picnic shelters and a mounded toilet block.
Car parking requirements have already come under fire with Cooroy at capacity for car parking. Mr Brennan said extra car parks would be built along Maple Street then Council will monitor the situation for 12-18 months. “It’s a dynamic space. We have money set
aside to fix elements that may not be working properly,” he said. Noosa Council has allocated $1 million in the 2020-21 Budget which is included in its $27 million Capital Works budget to progress the playground, she said. The State Government has committed $2.8 million to the project.

Weeds of Sunshine
Local bushcarers and botany enthusiasts Joan Heavey and Sonia MacDonald.
The Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) has just reprinted the field guide, ‘Weeds of the Sunshine Coast’ with funding assistance from the Sunshine Coast Council. The field guide is for anyone involved in natural area management and interested in the identification of weeds, many of which are also common throughout Cooloola, Fraser Island and Southeast Queensland.This second edition includes 30 new weeds which are a continuing problem on the Sunshine Coast. It also includes a few that are native plants in northern Australia which have become naturalised outside their normal range and now behave as weeds. The book was written by local bushcarers
and botany enthusiasts Joan Heavey and Sonia MacDonald. Both have had an interest in local flora and weeds for many years and involved in volunteer bushland regeneration in the Noosa and Sunshine Coast areas for well in excess of 10 years.President of NICA, Bruce Hallett, said that NICA is particularly pleased to work with enthusiasts like Joan and Sonia in facilitating and helping them realise their goals which have direct benefit to improving land management practices in the Sunshine Coast area.“This book contains 272 pressed, mounted and scanned specimens of herbs, trees and shrubs, vines and climbers, aquatic weeds and sedges,“ Mr Hallett said.

The Rotary Club of Noosa has been busy making life-saving contributions to the community, with their latest donation set to support visitors of the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. Noosa Rotary president Gerald Victor said the SES and Katie Rose Cottage Hospice are great examples of the community working in tune together. “It gave us great satisfaction to present defibrillators to the SES, and Katie Rose Cottage Hospice,“ he said. “This is what the Rotary Club of Noosa does in the community to support organisations that do so much for us all in our times of need. “The Noosa Rotary club is made up of everyday people who get together have fun, and at the same time provide much needed assistance to many organisations around us.“ Area Controller for SES (State Emergency Services for the Sunshine Coast) Warren Kuskof said that this donation from rotary would play a valuable role in the work that they do each and every day. “This defibrillator would be stationed at the Boreen Point depot for use in the local community,“ he said. Katie Rose Cottage Hospice chairperson Carol Raye said the hospice’s journey to service has been very rapid and continues due to the hard work of the team and volunteers and most specifically due to support received from the local community. “Our community should be very proud of their Hospice it is indeed a unique place,“ Carol said. “Individuals and groups such as Noosa Rotary, who support Katie Rose Cottage Hospice are much appreciated and we recognise the importance of this kind of community support. “None of what we have achieved could have happened without strong community support and we thank Noosa Rotary for the most recent donation of a defibrillator to support the staff, family members and visitors to the facility. “I have the privilege of leading the incredible team of paid, and volunteer staff, and they are all absolutely passionate about serving those who come to us at the end of their journey. They’re a special bunch of amazing people dedicated to providing the best care possible. “ Rotary Noosa meets at the Tewantin RSL Club every second Monday at 6pm.

Messages of hope at RSL Maroochy RSL welcomed 20 World War II veterans to the club as part of its ongoing veterans’ events program, to both celebrate and thank them for their service over a cup of tea and cake. More than 600,000 Australians served during World War II, and less than 3000 are believed to remain &mdash; all in their mid to late nineties, leaving precious little time to hear their stories and learn of their resilience and experiences firsthand. Maroochy RSL President Michael Liddelow said these morning teas not only provided an opportunity for veterans and their families to come together, but also acted as a solemn reminder for the community that previous generations have faced all manner of conflicts, pandemics and economic depressions. “In this period of globally challenging and unprecedented times, now more than ever, people need hope,” Mr Liddelow said. “For many veterans, the current COVID-19 pandemic pales in comparison to some of the atrocities they endured while serving Australia during World War II. “This is not to say that peoples’ fears and uncertainty at the moment are not real or warranted, but rather provides important perspective on how to manage our fear and prioritise the things that matter most in times of crisis. “These men and women are heroes. They displayed endless courage and sacrifice, whilst embracing hope. They can teach us the importance of exuding confidence despite facing adversity and appreciating the simple things that we often take for granted.“ One of the veterans who attended on Friday was nonagenarian Allan Quartermaine OAM who just turned 97 and has been volunteering with Legacy for over 50 years. Mr Quartermaine joined the Royal Australian Navy in April 1943 where he served on HMAS Kiama in waters around New Guinea in 1944/1945. “HMAS Kiama was employed in mine-

sweeping, convoy escort, troop transport, bombardment and military cargo re-supply operations,” Mr Quartermaine said. “The most important thing is having a great support network of family and friends, which is critical to enjoying life. And, if you select your friends carefully, you’ll have mates for life.” Mr Quartermaine was discharged in July 1946 and re-joined the Commonwealth Bank where he worked prior to joining the Navy. In 1957 he was promoted to accountant before escalating through various levels of management prior to retiring in 1986. “I joined Legacy in 1964 so have now been involved 56 years, supporting and advocating for the partners and families of deceased or incapacitated veterans,” Mr Quartermaine said. He received an OAM in 2007 for service to the community of the Sunshine Coast through
ex-service organisations and the Buderim Bowls Club. He is also a member of the Maroochy RSL, which has the mission to represent and show appreciation to the local veterans in the Sunshine Coast community. “Events like these allow us the opportunity to dedicate a moment in time to those, whose acts of valor, self-sacrifice and loyalty have allowed us the freedom we have today,” Mr Liddelow said. “The age of the veterans coming for tea starts from 94 and ends with our oldest veteran attending in Arthur Scholes who is 99 years of age. There are always interesting stories shared at these events such as Coral Sea veteran Bill White who travelled across to New York for dinner on the USS Intrepid with Donald Trump and Malcolm Turnbull, the Australian PM at the time, for the Coral Sea commemoration a few years back.

PhD student fire focus A USC researcher has helped develop a computer model that aims to predict how long a bushfire will burn and how much of the landscape it will consume. Sam Van Holsbeeck, a PhD student with USC’s Forest Research Institute, was one of 17 scientists selected nationally for Australia and New Zealand’s first Data Quest Challenge, an intense week-long virtual event that focused on bushfire research. Sam was one of five people selected for the Fuel Assessment team, which fed historic, satellite and local sensor data into a model that applied artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to predict the burn risk and extent of future bushfires in Australia, from their first moments of ignition. Data included statistics of previous fire events dating to 1902, historic climatic conditions, topography of landscape and vegetation fuel load. “We were in that virtual environment 24/7 for one week but we worked on the model for about five weeks all up,” said Sam, of Gordon Park in Brisbane. “To test it, we fed in the relevant data and trained the model to predict fire scars, such as that left by the huge Gospers Mountain fire near Sydney last summer, within seconds. “We achieved over 85 percent accuracy, which was fairly high. More research could add other predictors to further improve accuracy.” The bioscience technology engineer, who has been awarded for his work in forest research since he graduated from Ghent University in Belgium in 2015, said the Data Quest Challenge was a great opportunity for

Celebrate Koala Month while raising funds To celebrate Koala Month, Wildlife HQ Zoo has invited everyone to get involved in some special activities while raising important funds to ensure a future for the endangered loveable national icons. Their future lies with our children so the weekend aims at arousing their interest and awareness of wildlife conservation by introducing them to Super Koala, a cartoon character making a special appearance, who aims to raise $20,000 to plant special food trees for the koalas at Wildlife HQ. Also on both days, the Queensland Koala Crusaders will be there to answer questions, show how you can get involved with protecting our local koalas, become a
member, train as a rescuer, or help them get the much needed local sanctuary on the Sunshine Coast by purchasing a tee shirt, cap, souvenirs or even taking home your own cuddly koala. Wildlife HQ is located on Nambour Connection Road, Woombye, home to many native and exotic creatures. The HQ is easy to walk around with a fun train to ride, a cafe serving snacks, and you can even have lunch at the Big Pineapple next door or bring a picnic. The event will take place on 26 and 27 September, with gates opening both days at 9am and closing at 4pm.

Writing win Powerful and evocative writing have helped a school student from Noosa to be a runner-up in the 2020 RD Walshe Writing for the Environment Awards. This year’s competition invited people up to the age of 25 to submit a piece under the topic, I am Earth. Dakota Brown, a student at the University of the Sunshine Coast in her third year of a Bachelor in the Creative Industries, is runnerup in the national competition with her story, Lungs on Fire. SSEC Chair Tassia Kolesnikow said they were delighted and overwhelmed with the passion of young people for the environment. “It seems the competition has tapped into young people’s desire everywhere to express themselves and their concerns about the environment,” she said. “We see youth from around the world marching for climate. The RD Walshe writing award brings people from around Australia to say, ‘Hey, we care about the Earth. It’s got to be protected.’”
Ms Brown said writing was a form of therapy for her. “It’s how I articulate myself and my view on the world,” she said. “I am passionate about environmental sustainability. Yet, to be honest, I know there is definitely room for me to improve myself there - being a part of this competition has incredibly motivated me to be a better human for the planet in a myriad of ways.” Ms Brown said she has recently started working for SmartPups Charity Shop in Cooroy. “This is an organisation that trains Golden Retrievers and Labradors into Assistance Dogs for children with special needs,” she said. One of the judges, Pam Cook, a published author, said all entries were of a very high standard. “I truly hope these writers continue developing their talents and I do think the Earth is in good hands if the sentiments expressed in these pieces are indicative of the attitudes of our young in relation to caring for the Earth.”

Future technologists to battle it out at RoboRave RoboRAVE Australia 2020 will see over 100 teams compete in a series of robotics challenges that test their skills in coding and mechatronics. This ground-breaking event opens its doors to registered competitors on Sunday September 20 at USC and is set to be the first in a series of annual events leading up to the hosting of the RoboRAVE World Championships in 2024. This is the first major initiative of RoboCoast, a not-for-profit organisation led by
Sunshine Coast educators, which aims to engage students and adults in collaborative robotic competition. The event will see competitors engineering robots that climb vertical surfaces, battle in sumo arenas, negotiate mazes and use vision technology to follow lines and track objects. RoboCoast Co-Founder and Secretary Simon Richardson said that the RoboRAVE series of challenges is open to students, hobbyists and budding entrepreneurs of all ages. “RoboRAVE is a unique format in that
participants can enter using any robotics platform, at any age, with any level of experience and from anywhere in the world. In order to compete, competitors will need to be able to design, build and program a fully autonomous robot to complete a given task. This year’s event has been reformatted due to current COVID travel restrictions, however we look forward to welcoming international teams in the near future,” he said. “We are excited that we’ll see the Coast’s most innovative minds at work this weekend. The event will highlight the Sunshine
Coast as a focal point of robotics education nationally and reinforce our strong position as a hub of robotics technology. Due to RoboRAVE’s educational and engaging format, these global events have been rapidly developing over recent years.” This year’s event is only open to registered competitors and coaches due to COVID-19 restrictions but it is intended that future events will engage a wider, local and global, community.

Noosa locals sleep better By Abbey Cannan There’s nothing better than a good night’s sleep and if you’ve been missing out on this luxury, a Noosa business is ready to give you the bed of your dreams. Beds R Us Noosaville opened in May 2018 and are the leaders in adjustable beds with the best quality Australian-made mattresses. With an experienced team of sales professionals who pride themselves on going the extra mile, you’ll be leaving the store with a smile on your face. I personally experienced this after recently purchasing a new mattress and bed frame from Beds R Us. The staff helped my indecisive self choose the perfect mattress and bed frame to suit my needs, and I was out of the store within 15 minutes. In a quick dash to the shops on a Thursday afternoon after moving houses, the sales person organised my new bed to be delivered and installed by Saturday morning. As many other companies are experiencing long delivery delays due to Covid-19, shopping local is the best way to go, and all of their mattresses are manufactured close by in Brisbane. Store manager Philip Lee said whether you are after an affordable quality mattress for your spare bed, or are looking to invest in some serious self-care with a luxurious pocket spring mattress, there’s a solution that’s likely to appeal to you.
Noosa bed specialists, John, Phillip and Brendan. “A variety of our mattresses are adjustablefriendly, which means that you can rest them on adjustable bases to form a complete bed that offers the ultimate choice in positioning,” Phil said. “We focus on supplying quality big brand
Aussie made mattresses to ensure a great nights sleep. “However, we don’t stop there. You’ll also find a wide range of bedroom furniture and accessories. This includes entire bedroom suites, bed bases, sheet sets and manchester.
“We also have multiple payment options, including flexible finance, available in-store.” Beds R Us are located in Noosa Civic and are open seven days a week to make your life easier. For more information call 0438 962 943.
Local artists give their unique touch to raise funds An upcoming event featuring 30 local artists is bound to impress Noosa art lovers with their unique touch on beach deck chairs as part of an auction fundraiser. The event, in collaboration with Noosa Open Studios and Tourism Noosa, will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 3 October at the amphitheatre in The Botanical Gardens in Cooroy. With Covid restrictions putting a stop to all previous forms of fund raising for the annual Noosa Open Studios Art Trail (NOS), Sunshine Beach artist Yanni Van Zijl developed an idea with the NOS executive around a safe outdoors event that is an inventive way to showcase the trail’s artists. Noosa Open Studios president Trevor Purvis said, “This unique event will showcase our local creativity to launch a new and iconic symbol for Noosa, embracing the beach and hinterland culture of the region. Thereby establishing a permanent link in Noosa between beach and hinterland art cultures to all visitors.“ Tourism Noosa also saw great opportunities for underpinning the destination’s primacy in the cultural tourism space and part-
nered with NOS on the project and provided an enabling special financial grant. “It occurred to me that the beauty of this idea is that we get to showcase the beautiful hinterland and the multitude of artists living in this region and mirror this installation on the coast, further underpinning Noosa’s arts credentials,“ Yanni said. Yanni is no stranger to public art installations and recently won overall first prize at Sculpture on the Edge at Spicers resort last year, in addition to the 2017 and 2018 environment award for installations at this event. “Given the diversity of the region it was a no brainer to me to install all these deck chairs painted by the local artists and create a promotional video of the art work in situ,“ Yanni said. “I often work on large scale site specific art installations and this was a way to bring all these ideas together as both a means to promote our artists, and our region as a creative destination.“ “The 25 deckchairs making up the installation all have unique canvas slings painted by top Noosa shire artists, enabling each chair to double as a frame for original art, rather than a painting on an easel ... an icon-
Conceptual artist Yanni Van Zijl and John Esson from Cooroora Woodworkers in Cooroy. ic and novel way to celebrate the cultural aspects of Noosa.“ The chairs have been lovingly crafted from local blue gum by Cooroora Woodworkers in Cooroy and can be viewed on Saturday 26 September at the Butter Factory Arts Centre in Cooroy. On Saturday 3 October all art lovers are invited to the public installation ’Deck Chairs on the Green’ at Noosa Botanic Gardens Amphitheatre from noon till 3pm. At the conclusion all 25 deck chairs will be auctioned with proceeds supporting the staging of this year’s Noosa Open Studios Art Trail. Bring along a picnic lunch and enjoy the artist’s creations on show and bid for your favourite artist’s piece of practical artwork.

Car crash television keeps you watching The Duchess, Netflix British-based Canadian/Irish standup comedian Katherine Ryan (Task Master) never struck me as being that funny - her humour too obvious, crass and even a little mean. So what does a six-episode series written, starring and executive produced by Ryan look like? Car Crash television at it’s best (or worst depending on where you stand). In The Duchess, Ryan plays Katherine a single mother and potter living in London with her daughter Olive (Katy Byrne) and running her business the cringeworthily-named Kiln’ Em Softly with best friend Bev (Michelle de Swarte). She is in a relationship of sorts with a lovely stable dentist Evan (Australian comedian Steen Raskopoulos) but she is holding him at arms length. When Olive wants a sibling for her 10th birthday instead of seeking a traditional relationship with the clearly besotted Evan she debates either going for a sperm donor or trying for a second child with Shep (Rory Keenan) a has-been boyband star, her worst enemy and Olive’s father. Given the well-mannered, intelligent, innocent youngster that Olive is at the start you can see her point but that Olive isn’t going to last and doesn’t - ending up suspended from school by episode three. At this point it is hard not to yell at the screen that Katherine doesn’t need a second child she needs therapy and fast - yes we yelled it but she didn’t seem to hear us. There are moments when this is laugh-outloud funny, the scene with all the young guys at the sperm bank comes to mind, and there are times when Katherine’s bitchy character has you cheering and laughing despite being this least likeable part of the show - but most of the time she is just too much. The saving grace for The Duchess are the warm sensible characters that surround her Raskopoulos is the MVP as the sweet sensitive

Evan - who is too good for Katherine but loves her anyway. At times The Duchess is hard to watch, Katherine’s bitchiness is relentless until it loses
its humour but there are glimmers that she is learning, coming to her senses that are enough to keep you watching all six episodes. - Tania Phillips

History out of Africa Noughts and Crosses, BBC First (or Demand), Thursday, 8.30pm Seven hundred years ago Africa invaded Europe - making it all the way to Albion (Britain) and so by modern times the culture of London is primarily African. The ruling class are the dark-skinned Crosses while the under-class are the lighter-skinned Noughts. Adapted from the first book in Malorie Blackman’s bestselling series, this is a story of racism dividing society featuring it’s own Romeo and Juliet. In this case Juliet is Sephy Hadley (Masali Baduza), daughter of Home Secretary Kamal Hadley (Patterson Joseph), and Callum McGregor (Jack Rowan) - the son of his house keeper Maggie (Helen Baxendale). Racial tension is growing as the two who played together as children - meet again all grown up. Callum has just been accepted as one of the first Noughts to attend Mersey Point - the top military academy - while Sephy is at university studying political science. The pair are reunited at her mother’s birthday party where Callum is acting as a waiter and sparks fly - literally - as the two connect while fireworks light the sky behind them. Their relationship grows more and more complicated as they come of age against a backdrop of prejudice, distrust and rebellion. This is a very clever premise particularly given not much is changed from the society we know, all the same technology, geography, government system - this is our world but flipped over. As well as allowing a unique look at racism, Noughts and Crosses allows black actors, African culture and music to take centre stage in the same way that Marvel’s Black Panther did. It is fresh, eye-opening, tense and brilliantly acted. - Tania Phillips
MOVIE
Films are films, books not The Devil All The Time Starring Tom Holland, Eliza Scanlen and Jason Clarke Rated MA15+
Narrator Aaron Pederson.
This week’s episode focuses on reptiles.
Looking back to look ahead Australia Remastered, ABCTV, Sunday, 6pm Everything old is new again as the ABC draws upon it’s rich treasure trove of unique 16mm and 35mm archive footage - digitally remastered - to create this 15-week series. Starting four weeks ago, host Aaron Pedersen has been taking audiences on a weekly one-hour journey around Australia, exploring the wildlife, landscapes and the great oceans. The first part of the series Wild Australians ends this week looking at reptiles (including some sensational footage of adders and crocodiles). The early episodes (which focused on kangaroos, platypuses, echidnas, wombats,
parrots, etc) are still available on iView. Next week the focus turns to National Treasures - showcasing places of ecological significance and natural beauty including the Northern Territory’s Kakadu National Park, the Red Centre, Tasmania, the Australian Alps, the Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef. The final part of the series will look at Oceans - the Indian, the Pacific and the Southern oceans. The footage has been collected over more than 60 years, and restored for future generation. The information Pedersen imparts, though, is scientifically researched and up-to-date. - Tania Phillips
The Devil All The Time is an enthralling historical thriller with phenomenal performances, but feels too much like a novel. Tom Holland delivers a career-best performance as Arvin Russell, a troubled but devoted young man in mid-twentieth-century Ohio. The film generates a rich atmosphere of contrasts: faith powerless to prevent tragedy, pious men engaging in shocking violence, and a charismatic preacher who doubles as a sexual predator. The pacing is slow but tingling with angst and uncertainty, immersing us in Arvin’s family life and their struggles, and Arvin’s violent impulses and loyalty to his sister Lenora (Eliza Scanlen) lead him on a harrowing descent into darkness and peril. Based on the novel by Donald Ray Pollock, The Devil All The Time certainly feels like a novel, resulting in a somewhat disjointed structure due to the general incompatibility of film and novel narratives. With greater length and momentum largely
dependant on the reader, novels can afford long tangents or sub-plots that return much later. But even with a 138-minute runningtime, the film’s lengthy sub-plot about a serial killer couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough) dilutes the tension of Arvin’s main plot and feels extremely disconnected until the tense but abrupt climax. Pollock himself also delivers frequent irritating narration, which is appropriate for prose, but needlessly explains themes or emotions that are obvious in a given scene. The Devil All The Time is deep, compelling, well-acted and highly-recommended, but emulates the style of the novel at the expense of focus. Friday, 25 September, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 23

Jimmy is a music man By Cherry Bright Locals would recognise Jimmy Howard as the country and western guitar-playing singer who has performed at the Noosa Farmers Markets for many years. The 90-year-old singer was born in Kimberley, Western Australia on 7 June, 1930. His parents were part of the Aboriginal stolen generation. They were both taken from their families as young children and brought up in a mission. His mother’s father was Scottish and his father’s father was English. Jimmy’s mother lived in the East Kimberleys to the ripe old age of 107. His father lived in Fitzroy Crossing. Like his parents Jimmy, along with his sister and three brothers grew up on a German Catholic mission, north of Broome. Jimmy is the only one in the family still living. Life on the mission was harsh. The girls and boys lived separately in dormitories and he remembers being given the strap from the Irish nuns and priests. All the children were forced to leave school at 14 to work at the mission. The girls became domestic servants and the boys worked as carpenters or stockmen as did Jimmy. He said they received no pay for their long hours but were given shelter, clothing and food and they all worked in the large vegetable garden. He remembers working as a stockman from daylight to dark for no pay. Jimmy and his first wife had 11 children, six girls and five boys of which seven are still living. He has 40 grandchildren. He now lives with his partner of 38 years Val. Over the years Jimmy has had many jobs including as a tour driver, builder’s labourer, groundsman, wharfie, sand blaster and for many years sang to the tourists. A self-taught guitar player, he loves singing Slim Dusty songs. Slim is his idol. When I went to the Slim Dusty museum in Kemsey, I felt really emotional and as I walked
Jimmy Howard in to the museum to the tune of ‘G’day, G’day, he said. Like his idol, Jimmy likes to tell stories of his travels around Australia, the outback, cattle and horses. While working in Longreach he heard that the Eumundi markets were a good place to busk, so he and his wife Val moved to the Sunshine coast. After busking for 23 years at the Eumundi Markets, he moved to the Noosa Farmers Markets where he sang for 17 years up until February this year.
He loves playing music and comes to life with an audience. Jimmy knows an incredible 350 songs. Western Australia still holds a special place in his heart and he has been back to Broome 18 times, always travelling by car which takes from 4 days to 3 weeks. For many years he towed a caravan on the journey, but for the last 11 years he switched to a campervan. On the way, he likes to stop at the markets and busk. He likes to make friends with everyone he meets, “even the coppers“.
After living in Tewantin for 19 years the couple moved to Laguna retirement village. In addition to his music Jimmy says he can still crack a good whip and tie good knots. He suffers now from smoking related lung issues and his only regret in life is smoking which he took up at the age of 12. If I hadn’t smoked, I might be able to live as long a life as my mum, he said. Jimmy’s advice for youngsters - “be honest, be nice to people, make friends with people and always be kind“.

Flyboys of the Valley By Phil Jarratt Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. This is part of a sweet poem by a young pilot officer who was killed in World War II. It hangs on the dunny wall at the Gympie Aerodrome headquarters of Wide Bay Air Charter and the Recreational Flying Company, and it put me in mind of all those fabulous Biggles’ books I read through my early school years. Like the fictional flying ace Captain James Bigglesworth, Paul McKeown and Marty Power, former airline captains who own and operate the twin companies, are trying to put the fun and adventure back into flying. And, judging by the numbers taking up their flight training, charters and scenic flights, they are succeeding. Ironically, for the two seasoned but now redundant airline pilots, much of their flight instruction work is coming from pilots who have also been made redundant during the Covid crisis, and looking at the depressed immediate future for the airlines, are refreshing their light aircraft skills to chase work in general aviation. But while Paul and Marty have both had stellar careers flying jetliners - Marty with Virgin, Paul with Virgin and airlines in Micronesia and China - their hearts (and agile hands) have always been in the “stick and rudder” flying game. Paul, 45, who now lives in Eumundi with wife and four children, grew up the only child of busy parents who ran a successful Noosa business. After school he was usually left to his own devices. “I wouldn’t say I was a daredevil, but I’ve always been kind of free-range, hard to chain down, whether it was on a skatey or a BMX. I was in that last generation of kids where they couldn’t keep tabs on you by mobile phone. I guess my love of aviation is an extension of that feeling of freedom I knew back then. I loved the idea that you could just take off into the sky and leave everything behind on the ground.” He wanted to “slip the surly bonds of earth” with an Air Force career, but the fact that his nose was usually in a flying magazine during lessons meant that he failed maths and physics. “So I had to learn to fly the hard, oldfashioned way,” he says, learning to fly a glider while still at school, going solo at 16, and then progressing to ultralight aircraft where he got his first licence and quickly followed it up with a private licence for general aviation. “Then I ran out of money,” he laughs. Fortunately, ultralight aircraft were really taking off and Paul was able to do a one-week course (borrowing $1000 from Mum) and become an ultralight instructor. After conducting his first lesson, the boss handed him $4.50 in cash. “I couldn’t believe it - I was getting paid to fly an aeroplane!” The job enabled him to

Paul’s career was starting to fly high. After two stints in Western Australia, flying charters in the Kimberley and then flying larger turbo props for BHP in the Pilbara, he was recruited by Virgin, where, as a First Officer, he was assigned to fly with a more senior pilot, Captain Marty Power. The two hit it off immediately, each delighted to find a kindred spirit. Buderim-based Marty, now 47, had wanted to fly since he was three, the son of an airline pilot whose mother also had a pilot’s licence. The family lived near Sydney’s Bankstown Airport and young Marty would ride his bike there every afternoon after school to watch the
planes take off and land. At 14, he got a cleaning job at the airport and used the money to pay for glider lessons. He studied hard, learnt to fly and broke into the airlines as a load controller. From there he became a charter pilot doing night freight runs, and eventually got picked up by Virgin. So, while holding down serious day jobs flying airliners, the two new mates started dreaming about a boys’ own adventure, buying an aeroplane together. In Victoria they found something affordable in the form of a 1945-built, fabric-covered Piper Cub, a traditional trainer with a hand-starting prop and no radio. “It was a delightful thing,” Paul recalls, “and we started thinking, why don’t we start a flying school to help pay for it? Just two men and a 60-year-old Piper Cub - what could pos-
Picture: PJ sibly go wrong!” They flew the old Cub back to Queensland, keeping on track by descending low enough to read road signs - yes, this really is a Biggles adventure - and parked it on the Gympie field at Kybong, next to an old painted caravan they used as a briefings office. While development in South East Queensland has made airports for general aviation harder to find, Gympie Aerodrome, in the heart of the beautiful Mary Valley, offered affordability and safe flying. Says Paul: “It was the last viable airfield where we could get a hangar site and be able to fly in uncongested air space.” In 2006 they opened for business, hiring a few locals to run the show while they were flying the commercial routes.

Although the general aviation sector has been in decline for decades, the partners managed to make a go of their spare-time business, taking over a large hangar to replace the caravan, then buying more aeroplanes to fill the space and expand the fleet. Says Paul: “It’s a tough gig, running a flying operation at this level, but our hearts were in it and we found great locals who have supported us.” Part of this process was developing a relationship with the Aerospace Systems program offered to senior students at Noosa District High School, with students using the Recreational Flying Company facilities and simulator at Kybong to get a grounding in flying. And then along came the pandemic. Two things happened simultaneously. The two partners were made redundant, and their parttime business became very much full-time as

Kim Barton and Geoff Bingham on the Magic Bullet
Sunset at sea
Solo sail a Covid ordeal By Margaret Maccoll What began as a leisurely sail across the world for seasoned travellers Kim Barton and Geoff Bingham ended in a torturous return solo trip across unforgiving oceans for Geoff through Covid-lock down conditions. A stoic Geoff would not speak of his ordeal but his wife Kim who was in constant contact through his ordeal relayed his story to Noosa Today. For the past 5-6 years the former Australian representative skydivers have sought adventure sailing the world on their boat, Magic Bullet. They’ve been participants in a boat rally through the Indonesian Islands, journeyed past the west coast of Sumatra, visiting surfing hotspots. They’ve sailed across the Indian Ocean to Mauritius and Madagascar and around South Africa to Namibia. Kim took a break from the sea and flew to Europe to meet up with friends for a walking trip before reuniting with Geoff in Brazil after he crossed the Atlantic Ocean solo. Their decision to haul the boat out of the water in Brazil and travel on land changed suddenly but it was not due to Covid-19, which was yet to come. After sailing colleagues experienced armed hold ups and boating mishaps they sailed on to Tabago and Trinidad. Around the end of February people started talking about Covid, Kim said. “I thought this is going to be big. This is going to be bigger than the Depression,” she said. They made their move westward toward Panama with the aim to travel through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific Ocean, but lockdowns started to happen quickly, everywhere. “We couldn’t fly out,” she said. “I contacted DFAT. I registered and told them where we were, we were safe and there were no big issues there. They said just be in touch with the embassy in Trinidad. That was 1500 miles away. I found an honorary consul in Panama. She was an amazingly organised woman.” At the time the Panama Canal was shut to boats under 68ft. Their boat was 38ft and required manual line handlers to make the journey which wasn’t permitted under Covidrestrictions. Kim began searching for flights out any way possible. “I said I’ve got to get out of here and get home,” she said. There were no flights available so the cou30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 September, 2020
ple fully stocked their boat in preparation of whatever may eventuate. After 10 days the consul contacted them to say the canal was open to small boats under strict requirements. A group of Australian and New Zealand sailors set off for Panama with the intention to raft their boats together and conduct their own line handling through the canal. “We left the next morning. It was four days sail to Panama. The seas were rough and choppy,” Kim said. “We had to do 14 days quarantine in Panama. At that stage we thought we’d do the Pacific crossing - about 60 days. “Then we were told there would be a humanitarian flight out. I put my name down and other Aussies put their names down. I flew out. Geoff was on his own. He said it’s better that you go home. We could have left the boat in Panama but when would we get back there. We figured it was better to have the boat back here.” Geoff went through the Panama Canal and with a fully stocked boat headed toward French Polynesian, a 27-day sail away. With his satellite phone he maintained contact with Kim. Two days into his trip his batteries weren’t holding their charge from the solar panels that powered everything on the boat including lights and the navigation system. “He headed to Pape’ete. It was 500km. I alerted them so they were ready for him,” Kim said. “All the borders were closed. French Polynesia was taking people for rest, repair and provisions. I told them he was having trouble with batteries. He had lost a propellor and he’d blown a gybe. He had three things go wrong.”?Geoff stayed a week in French Polynesia, replaced the propellor but couldn’t get batteries so he was forced to continue on, running the motors at night and staying awake to do so. He headed to Fiji but instead was forced to stop into the small New Zealand-governed island of Niue when he had trouble with his water pump motor. “He was stopped by police who came out and said ‘you can’t stop’ but then took him into a lagoon. They knew he needed batteries. They bought him one battery and a couple of drums of fuel and didn’t take any money,” Kim said. “By this time he was getting close to home and whatever anyone did for he he was grateful, and a bit emotional.” With a tooth ache to compound his troubles Geoff sailed on to Fiji where the couple had skydiving friends. Kim emailed them to

In the end he wasn’t allowed off the boat but a doctor was called who went onboard, tested him for Covid-19 and treated his sore tooth. Exhausted by the trip he just wanted to get off the boat to switch off and rest for a while, but that wasn’t an option. He travelled on to New Caledonian. “Eighteen miles out they radioed him and said you can’t come in, our borders are closed, bugger off,” Kim said. “He said if I bugger off I’ll be in distress. I’ll set off flares and you’ll have to get me. They said OK. He wasn’t allowed off the boat.” Seaward bound he hit south-westerly winds which forced him to shelter in a lagoon on Kuto Island for 2-3 days, damaging his rudder as he came out. There was just the final leg left to reach Bundaberg and for once on the trip luck was with him, delivering the winds that sped the Magic Bullet across with the ocean, living up to its name. Kim threw everything in the car and raced up to Burnett Heads to meet him but Border Force met his first and placed him into quarantine, unable to gain an exemption. The trip had taken a toll on the 70-year-old Cootharaba resident who weighed only 66kg on his return but a gathering of friends at Land and Sea on his return to Noosa buoyed his spirits.

Mysterious, moody river Cooper Creek has many moods. In the wet when the monsoon brings heavy rains the Cooper is wall of water up to 70 kilometres wide flowing inland to fill Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. In dry times it’s a series of waterholes with barely a trickle of water evaporating long before it gets to the lake. Sometimes it dries up completely. Understanding Cooper Creek is the topic of the forum on September 26. Guest speaker Bob Tooth is an inland waterway enthusiast who will share his knowledge of the geomorphology and hydrology of this dryland river as it travels from north Queensland to Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre.

A Tall Tale Before the deployment of the false narrative of doomsday debt and deficit descends with dread on us all it might be worth undertaking a bit of historical analysis. In terrifying times (pandemics,war,natural disaster) a government can act in a way to ensure the safety of its citizens. During world war 2 the government ran up a significant percent of our GDP (42%) to ensure WE COULD defend our country against a fascist enemy. It worked. Afterward, what would be construed by today’s economic rationalist as “mountainous debt” WAS ERASED, to ensure the prosperity of the post war generations. No talk of intergenerational debt was mentioned. The “debt” (its not money owed in a traditional sense because it is our currency, created by the federal govt. and bought by the federal reserve as an investment in the continuation of said government) caused by the “war” (the PM’s word) against COVID 19, can be treated the same as WW2. It need not be used as a dystopic political tool to further weaken public spending. It can be put off the books for as long as required. This happened to Germany’s war “debt”, the Marshall Plan, some years after the conflict ended... twas erased. In times of crisis this is what a government is for. To ensure the continuation of social and national wellbeing with the tools in the shed, MONEY. Why governments can do this, (thank god they can), and yet citizens may be subject to otherwise, is a question to be asked of our private banking system or even the creators of capitalism itself. But the outrageous and deliberately ignorant clamouring about debt and deficit, during a national crisis, is nothing but asinine political opportunism, manufacturing of fear and outright lies.

Protest Does Matter Friends of Yaroomba Inc is a communitybased organisation of volunteer residents who launched the Save Yaroomba campaign because they believe that over 9,000 written objections against the Sekisui project from residents and visitors do matter. In comparison, only 3000 submissions in favour of the project were submitted. We will not be intimidated into retreat. The voice of the people does matter, and we believe we have right on our side. The Save Yaroomba campaign is holding a traffic display at 3.30 pm on Sunday September 27 is to raise awareness of daily traffic impacts if this project goes ahead. We are also fundraising for legal costs to support an Appeal by Development Watch against the recent Planning and Environment Court’s decision. We are community builders, not destroyers.
This traffic display is a family friendly, Covidsafe event to let residents and visitors show their support and give donations to help fund the Appeal. Sekisui bought the Yaroomba beachside land with approval in place to build six buildings of 4-storeys each plus free standing homes. For some reason, the company decided to push for two or three times that height, ignoring the guidelines of the Town Plan which residents must abide by, even just to put up a carport. The project is an intense urban development and the idea of a glamorous resort like the Hyatt Coolum is not evident in the plans. Yaroomba could have been humming with hospitality jobs for more than five years already, if Sekisui had proceeded with the project it bought. Local tradespeople indicate they have plenty of ongoing work with the longterm construction of the new city of Aura. Locals and tourists have said all along that they do not want another Gold Coast here. Being laid back, relaxed and a refreshing change is our well-established point of difference for the tourist dollar. Sekisui states that traffic flows are well within the capacity of David Low Way, yet the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) require the installation of new traffic lights at Marcoola and Yaroomba as a condition of its consent. This is in addition to two sets of lights recently installed at Mount Coolum. DTMR also requires the reconfiguration of Coolum’s major intersection at Beach Road. Sekisui’s website outlines another reason why traffic flow will increase, this time because of changing lifestyle habits due to the Covid pandemic. ‘Where physical retailers aren’t available, developers will need to plan for an increase in online shopping and deliveries. Communities will start to include digital locker systems, a delivery hub or concierge services to manage parcels’. Vehicle deliveries to new residents and visitors on the Sekisui site will again add to the impact on the road system. When Friends of Yaroomba held its first one-hour traffic display in November 2017 the counter indicated 221 cars that completed a total of 644 movements along David Low Way. This was still far less than the expected 900 extra cars during peak hour stated by Sekisui in court documents. The traffic display demonstrates the impacts on the ground in real time. One Sunday afternoon of inconvenience will become a part of daily life for locals, and for visitors. This stretch of David Low Way will resemble Nicklin Way for the number of traffic lights disrupting flow. The community has a right to understand the impact of nearly 40% more cars on the road during peak hours, and our traffic display is a way to experience that firsthand. Then they can make up their own minds. We invite anyone who objects to come and see community spirit in action for themselves. There is too much at stake for the future of the entire Sunshine Coast.

Noosa Net Free Every morning and afternoon I walk along our beautiful river and I watch the tourist fishing along the bank, they never catch anything except maybe a small bream, the reason being is the river and lakes are commercially fished with nets. I have seen nets strung right across the river, also at the entrance to the Noosa Waters cannel there are people throwing cast nets every day, morning and afternoon. This is not good, especially in June when the younglings are coming out of the cannel and of course there are the mullet fisherman that take tons of mullet from the mouth of the River What I would like to see done is to make Noosa a net free zone and give the fish a chance to come back before it’s too late.

Find solace in Pomona By Abbey Cannan Expressive artist Debra Dougherty and Tanglewood Botanical artisan Erica Harvey have created a new exhibition displaying an affinity with Noosa’s local bushlands. Pomona Railway Station Gallery will present the exhibition Solace from Saturday 3 to 28 October. While creating the works, Debra said she has been going bush painting the tall gums and curvy birches. “I can breath deep and slowly when I am painting amongst the trees,“ she said. “Moments of spontaneity occur on the canvas, a lightness of feeling becomes a broad brush of colour curved up to the sky. “With so many changes going on from Covid restrictions to ongoing climate disasters, we need solace.“ The restorative relationship people have with the trees and the birds is reflected in Debra’s latest 2D artworks. Erica’s 3D botanical art connects the two with the forest’s ground by using organic objects like bark, bone, air fern and logs found in the bush. The balance of burnt wood or barbed wire juxtaposed with new life in ferns, moss and spidery leaves of plants reminds the viewer of life’s ongoing cycles.

Insight of a psychiatrist By Abbey Cannan A well-known Noosa psychiatrist turned author has released his debut tragic-comedy novel inspired by his fascinating career in psychiatric care. Entering his sixties, Chris Cantor developed a yearning for a new life direction and decided to retire, throwing himself into writing his first novel ’Fisher of Souls’. Chris said his career greatly influenced the story, which has twin plots in alternating chapters. “One is set in a medieval abbey in Devon, England near where I actually worked in the early 1980s,“ Chris said. “The other is in a psychiatric hospital using the former abbey’s now decrepit structure, the real hospital in which I had worked, in Victorian times was The Devon County Lunatic Asylum. “Although the clinical care in my time was quite reasonable I found the environment traumatic, and I got to go home at the end of the day. It was a factor in my migrating to Australia where most psychiatric care was/is delivered from more appropriate facilities, such as general hospitals.“ Chris said the abbey story addresses the perils of demonising others who differ from ourselves. “From my work I was familiar with the psychology of this. The hospital tale is a comedy that offsets the seriousness of the abbey story, provides balance and light relief. The atmosphere of the fictional hospital reflects many feelings I had working in the real former asylum,“ he said. Chris said he had to learn to let go of his

Although Chris said he hasn’t seen Covid-19 pandemic coming, readers will journey between medieval times, including the great plague and the 1980s. “The dark abbey tale is deliberately unsettling, at times even confronting, but the hospital story involves loveable characters who provide lots of laughs.

Hinterland artist prepares for show

Handmade believer Nestled in the lush hills of the Cooroy hinterland sits Quixotica Art Space, the creative studio and retreat of ceramic artist, Rowley Drysdale. Originally from Western Queensland, Rowley is one of Australia’s leading ceramic artists and educators. A potter for four decades, he is best known for his dedication and achievements in the fields of wood firing, glaze development and ceramics education. A vocal advocate for handmade objects, craftsmanship and innovation, Rowley believes that work made by hand has a different, more positive energy than objects created by an industrial manufacturing process. Perhaps reflecting this notion, in recent years consumers have increasingly searched for bespoke ceramics in their homes, with a greater appreciation of handmade and local creations. An extensive body of Rowley’s ceramic work can be seen in the exhibition, Extracts, now on at the Noosa Regional Gallery. The title reflects many interpretations, including Rowley’s “extraction” of his more dynamic pieces for the exhibition from his vast body of work. Rowley is well known for his wood fired work, and his exhibition celebrates this, with many of the ceramic pieces showing created by this “hand on” firing process. As the steps to create wood fired objects are long and complex, experience and patience are required. Rowley refers to his successful pieces as “elegant survivors” of this arduous process, which takes several days for each firing. The flames can be kind or cruel to wood fired work, but they also provide a unique, unrepeatable outcome for every piece that emerges. There is also a sense of extraction in that Rowley’s work is created with natural materials - the clay and the unique glaze materials are all extracted from the earth. He often stops by the roadside to investigate strata of soil, clay and rock up close and personal, gathering both materials and inspiration from the rural landscape. Rowley’s art sanctuary and gallery will also be open this year as part of Noosa Open Studios. There you can see the space where he creates and fires all his work, and teaches classes and workshops to numerous students of ceramic art. It is a beautiful property with extensive gardens, working kilns, studios and a gallery alongside the dam, where you will also be able to see and purchase more of his latest works. It is a special peek into the creative life of one of Australia’s leading ceramic artists and educators. Rowley’s exhibition, Extracts, is on now until November 7 at the Noosa Regional Gallery. Quixotica Art Space will be open to the public, as part of Noosa Open Studios, on October 9 to 11 and 16 to 18.
By Abbey Cannan A Noosa Hinterland artist has been busy preparing an upcoming exhibition of his awardwinning works at the Old Commonwealth Bank in Cooroy in conjunction with Noosa Open Studios. The new exhibition features finalist works by Paul Reynolds from the Noosa Lyn McCrae competition, the Brisbane Marie Ellis Awards, Noosa Art Awards and Flying Arts Regional Awards. Paul, who was born in the UK and moved to Australia in the early sixties, said his life of art started in his pre-teen years and the compulsion never left. “I settled in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland above Cooroy in 1997 where I took up sign writing,“ he said. “While going through art school and hosting solo exhibitions, some of my illustration work has found its way into the National Library. “My influences have been the likes of Goya, Hogarth and Lucian Freud, with some works referencing french artist Millet author Kafka and film maker Igmar Bergman.“ Known around Cooroy and Noosa for his “work ute“, a motorcycle with a sidecar, Paul

said he has always had an interest in art being reflective of the human condition. “In a well connected world, Covid-19 has given inspiration to two pandemic works, with one drawing from The Wizard Of Oz,“ he said. “These turbulent times offer a wealth of material worthy of comment or questioning. “While some works are more abstract and reflective. I would hope people find my work thought provoking and even challenging.“ Working directly on to canvas in pastel, oils, or a combination of the two, Paul said
he does not work off preliminary sketches as he feels the work loses its immediacy. “As a result the works tend to take a life of their own as thought, subject and composition merge and sometimes change direction,“ he said. “Apart from the large paintings, a number of life drawings in pastel are also on display, as it is something I took up again a few years ago to brush up on my more technical skills.“ The exhibition will take place at the Old Commonwealth Bank in Cooroy from Monday 5 October to 18.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
The 250 Grammi gang.
Picture: SUPPLIED
Pizza, pasta and riverside the Bellani family’s century-old vineyard in the hills of Lombardy, is an excellent drop, for which you’d pay at least half the ask at retail, if you could find it, so no price-gouging here. They just need to think about the locals and offer a cheaper option. This was Trevor’s first visit to 250 Grammi and, despite several positive recommendations, he and the missus did a walk-up knowing very little about the place and thinking that possibly it had loosely based its name on the title of an old Sean Penn movie. In fact, the first page of the menu explains that 250 Grammi is “the weight of the dough ball before its evolution”, meaning before it becomes a pizza. So, it’s definitely a pizza joint but also much more, as I read on: “The goal was to share with people Italian authenticity with a twist. No more main meals but a lot of different dishes to be shared, like an Italian Sunday lunch with friends and family.” Trevor is a bit of a sucker for Italian authenticity with a twist, remembering well some wonderful family lunches with his friend Alessandro, at a long table overlooking the surf of Viareggio, when we’d all be authentically twisted well before sunset. So, let’s order. Still reeling from the price of the wine, we opt to keep it simple and basic, just a pizza and a pasta to share. But then Mrs Tucker’s
eye is caught by a choice of risottos that both sound delicious, so we go instead for the Risotto del Bosco ($25), with imported Porcini mushrooms, Italian sausage, Calabrese ‘nduja, and aged Parmigiano Reggiano, coupled with a Pizza Napoli ($26), Napoli sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, white anchovies, black olives, capers and oregano. The pizza, a common or garden Napoli, was nothing to write home about, but the crust was crunchy and delicious and it was laden with olives, which had the missus swooning. The risotto, which looked like a plate of nothing much when served, as risottos often do, was nothing short of sensational, a brilliant combination of subtle flavours, set off by the spicy ‘nduja, which had Trev dreaming of days of old when travel was possible, and spicy sausage was cheap and plentiful from the Catalan coast to the Basque, washed down with a rough red out of a plastic bottle. But while the Spanish variants are similar in flavor and bite, I’d have to give ‘nduja the edge. This was a memorable risotto, and when I win Lotto, I’ll go back for another bottle of the Ca’ Di Frara and a Bosco risotto all to myself. The verdict: With just a couple of low end additions to the wine list, this would be a good value eatery of distinction, in a cool space with river views.

Trevor Pepys reviews 250 Grammi Food and Wine Bar As by now you know, Trevor enjoys a gargle with his grub, and as a working diarist and semi-professional restaurant reviewer, he is not as well off in this time of Covid as, say, a bookstore owner or a surfboard retailer. So, therefore and ergo, his first question at any restaurant is, how much is the entry level wine, followed rapidly by, and will it stay down? Alas there seems to be a growing trend around town away from the $25 quaffing house wine, for so long the salvation of the cash-poor, the wine-ignorant and those looking for a quick buzz rather than the heady and pungent aroma of the grape from the shady side of the hill, which is pretty much Trev in a nutshell. This is my only real beef about 250 Grammi, the slightly poncey pizzeria on Gympie Terrace. Sure, the huge black and white mural of the chick on the Piaggio is squarely aimed at the Toorak cowboys, who now can’t get here, and the Marcello Mastroianni wannabes, and occasionally the cooler-than-thou service can be a little, ah, spiky, but the problem is that the wine list starts at $52, which, of course, is where Trevor begins the meal. Moving quickly to the positive side of the ledger, the $52 Ca’ Di Frara Pinot Grigio, from

Little seeds of light, fun Big on laughs, but with a dark edge, Little Seed’s production of The Addams Family is the perfect treat for theatre fans starved of live entertainment in 2020. Little Seed will be presenting The Addams Family at The J in Noosa on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 October. “The Addams Family is a fun and youthful musical and the perfect fit for a theatre company that works with emerging artists,” Little Seed’s director Johanna Wallace said. “It is the right musical for us at the right time - a little bit dark but also jubilant - so ideal for 2020.” The Addams Family, which opened on Broadway in 2010, brings the dark and delightful world of Gomez (Andrew Roberts), Morticia (Abigail Waugh), Uncle Fester (Jack Ryan), Wednesday (Ashlyn Hehir), Pugsley (Naire McDonald), Grandma (Kadin Jamal), Lurch (Ellery Scott) and Thing (William Whittaker) to spooky and spectacular life. The smash hit comedy features a storyline that is every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams has outgrown her headless doll collection and unexpectedly fallen for a young man from Ohio, Lucas (William Law), who comes from a “normal” family. The future of the whole Addams family turns on the fateful night they host a dinner party for sweet Lucas and his straightlaced parents (Curtis Bock and Bianca Pinkney). Andrew Roberts, who plays the lead role of Gomez Addams, said the Addams Family takes iconic characters, established through muchloved TV shows and movies, and places them
in brand new situations where the audience can enjoy all their quirks. “Gomez is such a great character to play because I have to hit so many emotional beats - it’s really challenging to go from happy-golucky to gloomy in a matter of moments,” Mr Roberts said. “Andy has worked so hard to create the character of Gomez and has gone over and above to make this production a success. He sends me up to 10 messages a day, sharing his ideas for lighting, updating our cue sheet, offering thoughts of staging - he’s such a great local talent,” Ms Wallace said. What does it feel like to stage a performance in a year when theatres around the world remain shut? “The logistics of this production have been very challenging, and there have been times where we’ve thought we would never get to show our work. We certainly don’t take it for granted how lucky we are in Queensland to be able to present The Addams Family,” Ms Wallace said. “I always say our cast has enough energy to power Noosa. After being unable to perform for most of the year, they will electrify the audience. We’re really excited.” Little Seed Theatre Company will present The Addams Family on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 October, with matinees at 2pm and evening performances at 6.30pm. Seating is limited due to Covid-19 restrictions. Book your tickets at https://www.thej.com. au/the-addams-family/

Regional manager Nicola Scott said it was an “absolutely fantastic day’’. There were about 100 players taking part in the four-ball, best-ball event. “The weather was good and everyone thor-
oughly enjoyed the chance to get together. “It was a really positive day in what has been a difficult year.’’ Winners on the day were: 1. Team Ozset Australia. 2. The Local Concrete Pumping. 3. Grant Martin Construction. The John Pope Memorial went to Whale Waste.

NRL is at the pointy end The NRL is down to the wire with Round 19 done and dusted and just one round of fixtures remaining. Of course, minor premiers, the Panthers have had the J.J. Giltinan Shield in their keeping for several weeks now and at the end of this round will finally get their hands on the prize. However, they will be much more focused on the big prize (the premiership trophy) now that it is only a few weeks away. It really has been a remarkable season and the NRL is close to pulling off what many said was the impossible back in April. It has not been done without plenty of sacrifice from the players and the club staff. I reckon there should be some special trophy minted this season for the Warriors because if it was not for their buy-in and willingness to pack up and move not just states but countries we would all have been twiddling our fingers for the past 20 weeks. The clubs and players who have entered into player loan deals for the season also deserve a wrap. Although first, second and third on the ladder are set in stone, there is plenty of interest surrounding fourth and fifth, and also further down the ladder from sixth through to eighth as who finishes where and what the implications are for the semi-final. Matchups won’t be known until the end of the final round. Of course, who gets to own the wooden spoon could still be turned upside down. I thought it was great to see that banter between Craig Bellamy and Cameron Smith during the Storm’s win over the Tigers as Smith finally passed his coach and mentor’s try scoring record. Smith cheekily gestured to the coaches’ box and Bellamy flipped Smith the bird in reply. Bellamy was caught on camera and was a little sheepish in his press conference that his action had been televised. I thought it was great. To me, it showed just how much mutual respect this pair has for each other and their genuine friendship. Anyway, it was good to see the human side of two ornaments of the game. Ricky Stuart, meanwhile, let his frustration get the better of him during the Raiders’ game against the Warriors - hurling a plastic water bottle in disgust. You are never left wondering what ‘Sticky’ is feeling. He is one who wears his heart on his sleeve. At the back end of a tough season for everyone, I thought it was great to see these blokes are human and not PC robots. Last week’s good mail on the possible new Broncos CEO proved to have caught plenty of people out, including Spin. There has been little chat about the appointment since, and news on the coaching position has also dried up. The wheels of change often turn more slowly than people would like, and I think there are many machinations still to unfold before we have some concrete results to these two questions. Left field may be looking more promising than ever. - Casey
IT WAS A ‘BIG SHOW’ If you made the effort to stay awake to watch the final game of the England versus Australia One Day International series this past week, you were certainly not short-changed for entertainment, as you were rewarded handsomely for drinking all that coffee. Twin tons in the game, one from ‘The Big Show’ Glenn Maxwell and the other from keeper-batsman Alex Carey, led to a stunning victory after all seemed to be lost. The Australian top-order suffered another batting collapse and when Maxwell strode to the crease to join Carey the score was well in the Poms’ favour at 5/73 and they were preparing to celebrate a series win. It was an ideal arena (albeit sans crowd) for Maxwell to show what he has in his kit bag, and what followed was a masterpiece. He said after the game: “I don’t know how I am able to hit sixes”. For a player who, in 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 September, 2020
First year in, and first grand final appearance - the Noosa women’s team will look for a fairytale ending. his professional career has so far, has hit 539 of them, opposition teams will be hoping he never, ever fully understands the how and why. They’ll be in trouble if he ever does. The enigmatic batsman set up the Aussies’ win in the first of the three-match series and in the final game, together with batting partner Carey, stole a win from the Poms with a 212run partnership. It was simply a masterclass and those of us who were glued to the television were simply enthralled.
WHAT’S IN 22 YARDS OF CONCRETE? Bradman tragics (and I am more than happy to put my hand up as a card-carrying member of the group) are watching with interest the unfolding drama surrounding a crumbling strip of concrete around 22 yards long, located in the Bowral district. It is now the subject of a battle between a property developer and those intent on preserving every morsel of Don Bradman history. It is the pitch, laid back in 1892 by the Bowral Cricket Club, where ‘The Don’ played his schoolboy cricket. The local Wingecarribee Shire Council, when it became aware of the significance of the site, had it heritage-listed in April 2017. Southern Highlands locals say the cricket pitch, adjacent to St Jude’s Anglican church, is sacrosanct. It is the place where Bradman, the boy from Bowral, first fell in love with his sport and should be preserved in a similar fashion to Bradman’s childhood home. The 22 yards of concrete has somehow slipped through the cracks of time until the current proposal to tear it up and build 13 townhouses on the site came to light. Internationally renowned TV presenter, and great cricket tragic, Sr Michael Parkinson said of the proposal: “Given its history and significance, I would think there is a strong case for suing the people who made the application to build on the land for a crime against Australian cultural heritage.” The developers have no truck with the sentimental or cultural value of the site and are pushing ahead with their plans. The matter will go before the Land and Environment Court, and the commissioner will be on site for mediation at the end of September.
READY TO ROAR IN GRAND FINALS One down and one to go - that is the simple equation for the Noosa Tigers after their big win over Springwood. If they weren’t raging favourites before the weekend, then their 17-goal walloping of their opponents shortened their odds even further
after the preliminary final at their Weyba Road headquarters. In front of what was perhaps the largest crowd to ever attend an Aussie Rules game at the grounds, Noosa gave the Pumas a football lesson and a bath all at the same time. The win sends the Tigers into a head-tohead clash with Mayne in this Sunday’s Division 1 QFA grand final, with the game to be played at the impressive Moreton Bay sports complex. The Big Dance set to get kick off at 2.30pm. The Tigers are expected to go into the game with an unchanged line-up. All 22 players have come through the preliminary final unscathed and it almost goes without saying that they are in good form. Tigers ruckman Connor McDonald was outstanding last week, giving first use to his onballers and also linking up as a running option. He was awarded the Brian Trist Medal as the best on the ground. Star centreman Brett Meredith would also have been a worthy recipient after showcasing his sublime skills throughout the game. Will O’Dwyer (with six goals and more than 20 touches for the half) and the defensive effort of 16-year-old Shadeau Brain did not go unnoticed, with the game showcasing his natural footy instincts and poise under pressure. Fraser, Laskey, Maher, Johnston and Rogers also impressed in a team that simply had winners right across the park. Of course, this week things will be very different. The Tigers can expect a much tougher assignment when they face Mayne. It is only three weeks since they played out a draw and it sets up an intriguing final. Even though Noosa is the raging favourite, Mayne will not just hand over the trophy. Mayne is sure to come into the game with a plan to overcome the Tigers’ strengths, but the open spaces are sure to suit Noosa’s game plan. The Tigers will have extra incentive as club stalwart and life member Nath Winter plays his 200th senior game in the decider. It is testament to his perseverance and a great work ethic. The Tigers’ fans will be hoping for a fairytale back-to-back grand final win. However, if it comes to fruition it will be more on the back of a lot of extremely hard work and persistence, and less of a fairytale. For those fans who may not be able to get to the game, it will be live-streamed on the AFLQ community Facebook page. In a replay of last year’s grand final, the reserves will also face Mayne. Coach Tony Brennan is keen to turn around last year’s result and believes that the Keenan

Noosa proved too strong for Springwood to march through to this weekend’s grand final. Picture: CRAIG SLANEY James-led team has hit the peak of its form at the right time this season. Wallace, Curry, James, Johnston and Fuller have played well all season and head into the grand final with plenty of confidence after a strong preliminary final win over Coorparoo last weekend. The day gets underway with the Tigers’ inaugural women’s team taking on Hinterland from 10am in the 2020 Division 2 grand final on Moreton Bay’s number one oval. The Peter Trompf-coached women have been outstanding all year and, last Saturday night in front of an enormous crowd, were outstanding. There is information on the club’s Facebook page for fans regarding supporters’ buses, which will be heading to the Moreton Bay ground. It is certainly a going to be a big day for the Tigers family.

The winning Noosa team.
Champs crowned again Once again, Noosa showed it boasts the best golfers on the Sunshine Coast when its A Grade team scored a comfortable 5-2 win over Headland in the Zone Pennant final on Sunday. It was the second year in a row the men in maroon claimed the hotly-contested crown. Toby Harding led the way, defeating Headland’s number one, Adam Richards, 3&1, and George Giblett followed up with an even more comprehensive win, beating Brad Butler 4&2. Other Noosa winners were Sam Boulden, Alec O’Brien and Cooper Clarke. In a great day for the club, Noosa also took the Masters title - beating Maroochy River 4.5 to 2.5. The victory was set up by wins to Graham Farrell, John Mierocha, Neville Hazlett and Darren Wylie, while Rex Achurch squared his match. Noosa also made the final of B Grade, going down to Mount Coolum 4.5 to 2.5. Winners for Noosa were Brad Graham and David Mills, while Lee Christie tied his match with Mt Coolumj’s Nathan Collins. The finals were originally scheduled for late March, but were delayed because of Covid-19. Viv leads the Sunday Series With one round to play in September, Viv Grayson leads the way in Noosa Springs’ Universal Property Sunday Series shootout. He scored 40 Stableford points when winning on 13 September and, if nobody beats that mark on Sunday, he will go into the final in December and compete for the major prize of a year’s free golf at Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island. The Sunday Series is a weekly event, with the man and woman who shoot the best score of each month qualifying for the final. It’s open to members and visitors, with Sunshine Coast-based golfers eligible for the Sunday special green fee of $79. Noosa pair top contenders Noosa golfers Dino Degotardi and George Giblett are the lowest handicapped players in this weekend’s Sunshine Coast Amateur Championship, to be played at Headland. Degotardi (Noosa Springs) and Giblett (Noosa), who both have a golf handicap of plus three, are among 20 elite players in the field who boast a handicap of scratch or less.
The event, postponed from the Easter weekend because of Covid-19, has attracted more than 140 entries, including golfers from Coolangatta, Southport, Bargara, Biloela, Toowoomba and Goomeri, as well as a strong contingent from the Sunshine Coast. A champion at last In a week he’ll never forget, Toby Harding pipped George Giblett to take the Noosa club championship on Saturday. The two outstanding golfers could not be separated after 72 holes of stroke play, and lined up again last weekend in an 18-hole playoff. Teenager Cooper Clarke was the A grade nett champion on 282, while Doug Reynolds (343) was B Grade champion, and Nathan Jackson (370) won C Grade. The junior champion is Cooper Clarke on 294, while Rex Achurch won the over 55 championship with 308. Toby’s great result Toby Harding turned in consistent rounds of 72, 77 and 75 to finish fourth in last week’s Queensland Mid-Amateur Championship at Royal Pines on the Gold Coast. The event - contested by golfers aged from 30 to 54 - attracted a huge field, which also included Noosa’s David Anderson, whose tally of 248 (87, 83, 78) was good enough for 68th. The winner was Dillon Hart of Emerald Lakes. Masters attracts best juniors The Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Masters - the highlight of the year for our region’s best young golfers - will be played each morning next week from Sunday to Wednesday at Peregian, Twin Waters and Pelican Waters, culminating with the final round at Noosa Springs. Play two great courses Golfers can now play at two of south-east Queensland’s finest courses at reduced prices. The offer to play at Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island, and ride in a motorised cart, for just $199 comes because both courses - two of the highest rated in Australia - are owned in the same interests. Noosa golfers will be familiar with the quality of Noosa Springs, and Hope Island has been voted the number one Public Access Golf Course on the Gold Coast. Passes to play both courses can be bought
at either golf shop, or by ringing Noosa Springs (5440 3333) or Links Hope Island (5530 9000). Women’s champ decided Liv Dolan is this year’s Noosa women’s club champion. She scored 328 - an average of 82 strokes a round - over the 72 holes of the championship, beating Tash Baker by a whopping 33 shots. Barbara Daly won the B Grade title by seven strokes from Jeannie Dodd. The new seniors champion is Lyn Cuss, while Ann Tummon is junior champion. Both scored 182 over the 36 holes of their championship. PGA postponed This year’s Australian PGA Championship, normally scheduled for early December, has been postponed until 18-21 February next year. The decision to delay the event, made in the hope restrictions will ease by early 2021, means there will be two PGA championships next year, with the 2021 edition scheduled for its usual end-of-year date.

Winds slow the catches With the winds becoming variable from a few knots to 20-plus, the offshore scene has been quieter this week. Some smaller boats managed to head out and make the most of conditions and came home with smaller snapper, sweetlip and a coral trout or two from Sunshine Reef. The charter trips ran to DI and managed bigger snapper, cobia, sweetlip, AJ and some jew from North Reef. The recent rains usually stir up sweetlip and will also push prawns out of the river. That makes now a great time to break out heavier estuary spin outfits and throw prawns like Atomic Prong in 4 inch sizes on 3/8th jigheads. These little plastics swim when slow wound and this will drive the fish nuts. Keep leader down to 20lb and enjoy the power these fish dish out on 6-8kg rods. Surf fishing has been harder with the winds and swell but the big rigs and big baits came out to play on the lead up to the new moon. Fishing at night to get the jewfish bite is something any serious surf angler should experi-
ence as these fish run hard and have the biggest headshakes in the business. If you are looking for a great surf spin reel then look no further than the Penn Spinfisher long cast. This is the perfect big bait reel designed to launch baits and lures out to 100 meters or more. The rivers are starting to flush out and carry some sediment and food down to the mouths. Upriver in the everglades and Lake Cootharaba the waters are dark and tannin rich. This will see the fish adjusting to the new conditions and it may be harder to find them so fish around the turn in the tides as this is generally a trigger for fish to feed. The deeper holes that are littered throughout the upper Noosa River are a great starting point if not crossing Cootharaba. Lower down, everyone’s favourite fish, the flathead, are starting to become bigger and school up while they make their way downstream. October is also known as Croctober and for good reason.

The bass appear to be holding further up in the arms and not so much out in the open.

Wins all around A Grade: Noosa d Caloundra 26-19 The Ray White Noosa Dolphins travelled south to Lighthouse Park in Round 8 of the Sunshine Coast Rugby competition. For Noosa’s A Grade, it was another top of the table showdown with rivals Caloundra. The hosts opened the scoring early with a penalty kick before a devastating attack from the Dolphin forwards carried Ross Kirtland across the line. A successful conversion by Jordan Mayhew nudged Noosa into the lead. Caloundra retaliated with a penalty kick, followed by a try creating a temporary headache for Noosa. But a stroke of brilliance and a little luck from a gravitating ball had Noosa’s five-eighth, Borore Howton, in open space to complete a 25-metre solo try, Noosa secured a 14-11 half-time lead after a composed Jordan Mayhew again accurately converted. A gritty second half saw frustration become a factor with the referee issuing yellow cards to both teams in unrelated incidents. Determined to leave the Park with a victory, Noosa’s Wil Rogers’s rampaging try came as a result of a relentless attack by a substitute forward pack. With minutes left on the clock, Caloundra had possession of the ball and desperately attempted to even the score but a courageous defensive effort by Noosa wrapped up a 2619 win. The Little Sister Noosa player of the match and three points went to Wil Rogers, two points went to Dave Grant, and one point each went to Sam Koning and Borore Howton.
Reserve Grade: Noosa d Caloundra 13-12 The Dolphins’ Reserve Grade turned up to hot and windy conditions in Caloundra. In true Reserve Grade fashion, there were some late changes just before kick-off with Colts players Seb Whitehill and Christian Vidic thrown into action to make their debut at the level. The game started very physically with the Noosa forwards lucky to still have their heads attached at half-time. Multiple penalties were given away for head-high shots, which led to a penalty goal by Callum Deering from the sideline. Caloundra hit back with one of its several Fijian superstars scoring a try in the corner. The half-time score was Noosa 3, Caloundra 5. The second half saw Noosa retain possession more frequently, which put pressure on the opposition and led to two yellow cards. Noosa had one play to finish the game and no time left on the clock. After giving a few more penalties away, they had to defend one last line out. Twin Towers, Paddy Lalor and Todd Carroll put immense pressure on the Caloundra line out to create an overthrow for Connor Gilbert to grab and secure at the ruck. Co-captain Ryan Frisby grabbed the ball from the back of the ruck to kick it into touch to finish the game, all while experiencing some serious cramping. In one of the best defensive efforts Noosa defeated Caloundra 13-12. Women: Noosa def by Caloundra 12-15 The game was a tough battle fit for finals footy. The Dolphins women against Caloundra was
decided at the final whistle, with Caloundra crossing out wide to steal a 15-12 victory. The home team commanded a very physical forward show, providing Noosa’s slick back line with limited opportunities. Noosa was able to capitalise on a couple of lapses in the opposition’s concentration, resulting in two tries to Jett Fairfax - one was successfully converted by Tess Evans. The Little Sister Noosa player of the match went to Claudia Hauck. Colts: Noosa d University 31-12 The Dolphins Colts took on the Sunshine Coast University Barbarians at home for the third time this season. With one win against each other, this game would see if Noosa’s hard training would get the win against a good Uni team. Smart team play resulted in three quick tries and put Uni under pressure. A strong forward run from Jasper Mark got a try, a good team kick chase finished with Lachie Franklin scoring and a good heads up back play by the centres Connor Chilver and Liam Manssen saw Liam score near the post. Uni got a break away try from a centre field scrum, making the half-time score Noosa 19, Uni 7. An early try in the second half to Jasper saw University’s hopes of winning start to disappear. Noosa’s last try was a very good short side catch pass play to see Remy Livingston score under the post. Uni scored a late try to make the final score Noosa 31 to University 12. It was Noosa’s best team performance of the year. The Players’ Player was Ben Roberts.

Noosa hosts state U16 titles Noosa Softball hosted the State Under 16 Girls Championships from 19 to 21 September, with nine teams from Brisbane to Far North Queensland taking part. The teams, officials and supporters took part in three days of softball at the Noosa District Sports Complex in Tewantin. Noosa Softball president Richard Wakeham said the championships were played under Softball Queensland’s Covid-safe plan for the safety of players and supporters. Wakeham said the annual titles are a great showcase of young talent throughout the State. “Championships like these can lead to an exciting future in softball as talent scouts for American colleges sometimes come along,” he said. “It’s an age where the players are starting to qualify for American college softball - in fact, a few Aussie girls have already done it.”
Two matches, two wins for a red-hot TNT in T20 cricket By Randall Woodley Last Saturday the Tewantin-Noosa First Grade cricket team won its two Twenty20 matches to notch up three wins straight. Playing both matches at Caloundra, the wins put them in equal top place on the T20 ladder with the Maroochydore club, which has also not lost a match in the round-robin early season tournament. The first match against the competition’s premier team, Caboolture Snakes, was a thriller from the first ball, which TNT opener Chris Wright smacked for a four, to the last ball when the Caboolture captain was run out - giving TNT a one-run win. The match was played on Caloundra’s #2 oval, which has shorter boundaries than most Sunshine Coast grounds. Winning the toss, the Thunder boys batted first. Chris Wright showed his intention from the opening ball, hitting 12 off the first over and another 11 in the second over to have TNT 0/23 with his batting partner yet to face a ball. Wright continued on with his carnage, belting all the Snakes’ bowlers to every part of the boundary. He was eventually out for 73 off 34 balls with the score on 88. He hit 11 fours and three sixes in his knock, which set the game up for his team. His opening partner, Alex Bennett, scored 28, Jarrod Officer 21 and other team members contributed some quickfire runs trying to keep the run-rate ticking over. After 20 overs, TNT was 7/185, one of the highest scores registered for many years in the shortened version of the game.
The weekend’s win made it three in a row for Tewantin-Noosa. Caboolture batted second and their captain, ex-Queensland Bulls batsman Glen Batticciotto, set about chasing the target down. Scott Aufderheide bowled the other opener in his first over but Caboolture was determined to chase the run rate of over nine runs an over. After another wicket fell to Dom Taylor, who finished with the figures of 1/19 off four overs, it was an utter slog-fest. With two overs left Caboolture had to score 30 runs to win and Tom Freshwater
took the ball. His experience came to the fore and he was able to limit the Snakes’ batsmen to just seven runs, leaving 23 to be scored in the last over. Jarrod Officer was given that task. Batticciotto hit out with two sixes and a four but was run out for 120 on the last ball of the match, falling just one run short of a win. It is interesting to note that the Caboolture captain, who was out twice in Saturday’s game off a no-ball, seems to have a charmed life when playing TNT
and has been out at least five times off no-balls in the last four years. This was a great win for the Thunder boys with another all round solid performance in all facets of the game. After lunch the match against a young Caloundra side was played on the main oval. Sent into bat, TNT did not start as well as it had done in the morning with Chris Wright out for 13. His batting partner, Alex Bennett, stayed at the crease and together with a number of other batsmen built the score gradually. Jarrod Officer (24), Andrew Kratzmann (38), and Dom Taylor (19 not out) supported young Bennett who was out just before the final over for a very well compiled 68 off 56 balls with seven fours and a six. TNT’s score of 5/169 looked rather daunting for the inexperienced Caloundra team. And it did not start well for them, with Tom Freshwater taking a wicket in his first ball of their innings. Their batsmen showed some fight but were always behind the run rate and after 20 overs had only mustered 6/95. Single wicket takers were Freshwater, Dom Taylor and Jason Toohey with teenager Sam Baker taking the last two wickets for 11 runs. It was a comprehensive win for the team, leaving it undefeated in the season so far. Next Thursday night the side plays Nambour under lights at Read Park and then on Saturday travels to Maroochydore, where it will play Glasshouse in the morning and the other top team, Maroochydore Swans, in the afternoon.

Dragons show real grit U11 match report by team manger Pamela Campbell-Jones The Dragons took on Uni this weekend at Noosa, with some help from some Maroochydore boys. The first half against Uni Gold was made up of strong, running rugby from the Dragons with some impressive team tries. The boys took the win for this half. In the second half the Dragons took on Uni Green. The Dragons showed grit and determination, holding up three try attempts, and took the win for this half too, with the whole team, including the Swans, lifting again and again. The Best Team Mate was Jett Herbert, with his usual try scoring talents, as well as strong defence and kicking game. Well done Dragons, and thank you to Tom, Harvey, Chaise, Levi, Tai from the Swans. U9s match report by team manager Andrew Hillhouse The Eumundi Dragons’ under-9 team had a tough, hard game against a well-drilled Caloundra. The boys refused to give up and eventually scored a number of tries. They won lots of ball and made numerous tackles. There was lots of good rucking and mauling work from Jasper, Josh K and Josh V and Brooklyn. All of the team made some good breaks, with an almost run away try from Tristan. Brooklynn and Aiden both scored two tries and Josh V was unlucky to have disallowed two tries not referred to the TMO. Good to see Jasper come back after copping a very solid tackle. Our second half was again better than our first which shows some true determination. Many thanks to our heroic U8s Jack, Tristan and Hunter who ran on and played their hearts out after their own game. Player of the week this week goes to Aden for playing his heart out, making a huge number of tackles, often against the players twice his size, getting up and making the next tackle

The track was hard and dry and both teams managed to run in a number of great tries with the tackling, passing and fending being standouts. Jack led the way with great tackling and some incisive runs, Hunter brought his fend along in his last game of the season and had a dominant display; and CJ, Zach, Spence, Finn and Quill all had strong contributions - with Tristan and Henry also pulling off some quality tackles.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE TEAMS!
The Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers smashed Springwood to the tune of 17 goals in last weekend’s preliminary final at Weyba Road. In front of what many locals have said to be the largest crowd ever seen at Noosa, apart from the Pumas kicking the initial two goals, the rest was a football lesson given by the premiership favourites who now face Mayne in this Sunday’s Division 1 QFA grand final. The grand final will be held at the very impressive Moreton Bay sports complex with the main game starting at 2.30pm. The Noosa boys will go into the game unchanged at this stage, with all 22 of the prelim final victors fit and healthy and - as a collective - in superb touch. Athletic ruckman Connor McDonald was outstanding for the Noosa side, not only giving first use of the ball to his on-ballers but linking up also as a running option to be awarded the Brian Trist Medal for the man adjudged best on the ground. Gun centreman Brett Meredith would also have been a worthy recipient, showcasing his sublime skills the entire day, while Will O’Dwyer (six goals in three quarters) had a field day up forward and finished beautifully. Jai Fitzpatrick’s second half after being moved into the centre was just a treat to watch as he gathered over 20 touches for the half, while the defensive efforts of 16-year-old shadeau Brain did not go unnoticed for the most part. His natural footy instincts and poise under pressure are a fantastic trait to have. Fraser, Laskey, Maher, Johnston and Rogers were also super impressive in a team that simply had winners all over the ground. Now for the big dance! And make no mistake - it will be a much different game. These two teams had a draw only 21 days ago to set up an intriguing, but expected, grand final. No one hands you a cup and I’m sure Mayne again will have a plan for the Noosa boys. Personally, the large open spaces will suit Noosa’s game style where
they love to switch play from the back half and attack from the other side using runners like Stack, O’Dwyer and Fitzpatrick. Club stalwart and life member Nath Winter will play his 200th senior game - an absolute testament to what perseverance and a great work ethic to his fitness and game over a long period can do. Lets hope it’s a fairytale result for such a milestone. The game will be live-streamed on the AFLQ community Facebook page for those who can’t make the trip down to Moreton Bay, and for all information regarding supporters buses please visit the Noosa tigers Facebook page and website. Not only are we going for back-to-back flags and competing in our fourth consecutive senior grand final, our reserves also face Mayne in their big dance from midday in a replay of last year’s decider - one in which I know seconds coach Tony Brennan wants to turn around. The Keenan James-led Ressies are finding form at the right time of the year on the back of key players returning from injury and just generally clicking after the shortened eight-round season. Wallace, Curry, James, Johnston and Fuller have all had terrific years and will go into the grand final with plenty of confidence after their strong preliminary final win over Cooparoo last weekend. Get into them boys. And as if that is not it, the day begins with our inaugural women’s team taking on Hinterland from 10am in their 2020 Division 2 grand final on Moreton Bay’s number one oval. The Peter Trompf-coached women have been outstanding all year and once again last Saturday night in front of an enormous crowd - put on a show to move into a grand final in their first ever year. Maddi and Eliza Trompf were awesome for the Tigers, while stars Cas Hoestra (three goals) and Regen Mills were very influential in the win. What a day this Sunday will be for the Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers. It doesn’t get much bigger. See you there - I can’t wait!

Together through sport On Saturday morning the biggest sporting event to be held in Queensland this year, the Queensland State Age Netball Championships, will commence at the Fishermans Road Complex in Maroochydore. With age groups competing from 12 to 15, our Noosa District Netball Association will be represented by five teams playing in the 12 to 14 age group and, with teams coming from Cairns to the state border, it is sure to be of high standard. “With teams coming from various Netball Associations throughout the state, we can understand why it will be a major event,” said Noosa President Bev Bullivant. “Like all other sporting clubs, we are hoping that all the present regulations will stand and no more alterations will occur. As a result of changing competition times, we have dropped this year to 600 players, as opposed to last year’s 1000.” So far this season the club has definitely been through some tough times. They had to cancel season one of the ladies’ competition and postpone the junior competition from March to the beginning of August. Their games are played on Thursday night to avoid the heat. This will continue until mid-November. “However, on the bright side all coaches and officials are still in attendance and we still have our sponsors: I cannot thank these people enough,” Bev said. Saturday morning at 9.10 will indeed be a morning that 17 fathers from our community will remember for a long time to come. It was on this occasion that their young sons and daughters insisted that they accompany them to a special Father’s Day celebration: a celebration that was indeed different. For this one they were required to accompany them to their Sunshine Coast Martial Arts Club and take part in a father and child training session in the dojo. This event, was the brainchild of owner/ chief instructor Bryan Dukas (6th Dan). “The idea was to give the dads a good opportunity to not only spend the day together, but also to enable them to see for themselves exactly just what their children were learning,” he said. It all started immediately on entering the Dojo. Each dad had been informed, in no uncertain terms, that he must bow with his son or daughter as a sign of respect. With this done, in bare feet, they stepped on to the training mat where they met Sensei Bryan Dukas. This was followed by a welcome. During this, he explained the importance of the father-child relationship. During my boyhood I lived in South Africa where I started karate and commenced training with my father who was a sensei (teacher). Despite now living in Australia, whenever he visits my family, I am proud to say that we still train together. He then explained the morning schedule. After a warm up of jumping and stretching, their siblings would demonstrate kicks, punches blocks and Katas. On completion, these moves would be repeated: only this time dad had to join in. You could be assured that, if he did it wrong, that cute little 10-year-old would not only tell him, but also make him do it again. Also, on some occasions, 10 push ups would be added for punishment. Use of punching pads were demonstrated with kicks and punches, and then the children, standing in lines facing dad, demonstrated their favourite kata. On completion these were also repeated and, as prior, dad followed, with the little one watching over their shoulders. At the completion of the morning session the smiles and laughter from the dads and the children said it all. To close it off, Sensei Dukas called, “What about a big hug for dad?” With that, 17 little siblings charged across the mat, threw themselves into their dads’ arms, and delivered on the request. With regard to the morning’s activity, one father named Chris said “It was great - good to see the other fathers here with their kids.” Another dad, Ryan, said, “Very good, very entertaining. These last few months have been very tough, so to get together like this was just great.”
Fathers had their skills well and truly tested. For Sensi Bryan Dukas and his team at Sunshine Coastal Martial Arts, they are to be congratulated. There should be more events such as this, where mums and dads can not only watch, but also take part. On Friday night our people in Noosa’s Little Athletics, conducted their first meeting of the season with a club competition at Girraween Sports Complex. Their season goes from September through to March the following year. The Little Athletics caters for members 5-16, and the senior division 13 to opens. Register online for membership. ‘’Our first night saw athletes from under-6 to under-17 and opens take part, and for our first night it was a good role up,” said senior coach, Mick Hooper. “Now the soccer season is coming to the end, more oval space will be available. Having to share with soccer sometimes leaves us with limited space. Regarding our big event of the year, the Noosa Gift, 21 November is still on the drawing board. We are hoping that by then the border restrictions will be changed and this will allow athletes to come up from northern NSW.” We wish them well. The surf sports side of the Surf Life Saving Association is still very much up in the air. However, in the boat section, their first carnival of the season, 31 October, will see a possible 70 crews assemble at Biggera. This carnival will be the first of three major carnivals and these will be the lead-up to Queensland selection for interstate competition. “Noosa is again looking good. At present we have some 15 crews in training and if health regulations permit, it should be a top season,” said boat sweep/coach David Tomba. On the surf lifesaving side, which is the core business, the weekend patrols are once again
Lifesavers take to the ATVs to tackle rescues at the National Park.
“Here’s how you do it, Dad.” back under control of the surf lifesaving clubs, Noosa, Sunshine and Peregian: the red and yellow flagged areas are again patrolled by your local clubbies. Weekend patrols at all three beaches went well, with a few minor rescues. However, a major first aid case occurred on Sunday afternoon at Noosa, which required emergency hospital attention. On Saturday morning Noosa lifeguard Isaac Smith and five Noosa lifesavers, boarded the ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) for an advanced training run through the National Park. “This was to familiarise the clubbies with all aspects of the Park: tracks in and out and, in particular, the radio dead spots. This is extremely important as in an emergency, radio communication can be the difference between life and death.’’ said Isaac. With Covid-19 being what it is, all our clubs have been concerned about our people: loss
of athletes, staff, and - most important of all their health. With the ever-growing importance of the role of supporter clubs in both sport and lifesaving, keeping good staff is vital. One such club which has come out on top is the Surf Club at Noosa. All are still on board and, as someone who has had a long connection with this club, the answer to why is simple: The good, caring, long serving, hardworking management shown by the late John Little, chairman Ian Young, treasurer Wally Schaller, and general manager Anton Mogg. With Little, Young and Schaller being there right from the very start (in the little old clubhouse), and with ‘Moggie’ joining a short time later, the quiet achievers were formed. And they are there to stay. Also, I’m proud to say that a lot of monies raised went back into the community, clubs and organisations. It’s not just for lifesaving.

How does the man do it? I don’t mean the 11 world titles, or the multimillion dollar sponsorships. I mean how does greatest of all time surfer Kelly Slater keep popping up around the globe through this pandemic - catching incredible waves, often almost alone? Being based in Trump’s America, where you can travel almost anywhere, helps, as does the fact that he qualifies for a working visa as a pro surfer, but Kelly has always been a bit of a phantom - a bit like MP without the five-paper spliffs - but this year he seems to have worked his way around border closures and health advisories to pop up all over the place at the right time. It all began in mid-March when we were both headed for the same place, the WSL Piha Open in New Zealand, when it was cancelled 48 hours before the window began. At the time there was good surf on both coasts of the North Island, but Kelly was up north playing golf. Then a couple of days later, he turned up at an East Coast break and wowed a bunch of groms with a frenetic session of punts, before signing autographs on the beach. Next, he flew into Sydney - on legitimate compassionate grounds, to see a dying friend - and caught some of the best autumn swells while holed up in Avalon. From there, he was in Hawaii, California and, if I’m not mistaken, even home in Florida briefly, before the next round of KS sightings began, this time in Bali, where his two-up in the barrel session at Padang Padang with Rizal Tanjung and other local buddies became a social media sensation a couple of weeks ago, and he also scored some nice Keramas with the Wozz. This week a Bali-based mate flicked me a photo on WhatsApp simply tagged, “KS GLand yesterday”. So now the GOAT is in Java, safe in the eastern jungle while the pandemic rips through the north and west of the most populous island of the archipelago, looking relaxed enough about it as he banks off the bottom and sets up for the run through Speedies. It could have been a one-day helicopter hit mission from the Bukit, of course. That’s how he rolls. We’ll probably never know. Points turn it on at home Not that we have anything to complain about here in Noosa. Until the northerly devil wind kicked in this week in time for the school holidays, we’d had a great run of fun waves on the points, with even sand-screwed First Point weighing in with some great sessions out wide with only light crowds. Despite my relatively new role as a cub reporter for this august organ of record, I was making time to score a few myself until I popped a rotator cuff, which has taken away my fun tickets for a while. There were some great waves at different times on all of the points, but the sessions I enjoyed the best were at First Point with Josh Constable and family having fun - the former world champ leading the way with some graceful glides on his ten-footer. Farewell Murph the Surf Of all the crims who one way or another became “legends” in our strange small world of surfing, none got quite up my nose like Jack Roland Murphy, the Floridian jewel thief and convicted murderer known in Miami and Cocoa Beach as ‘Murph the Surf’. I found this particularly galling because it sometimes caused confusion, not only with Rick Griffin’s cartoon character, but with my late friend Francois Lartigau, the artist and French surfing champion also known as Murph. The fake Murph died of natural causes in the US a week or so ago at age 81, having spent about a third of his life behind bars, a third masquerading as a television evangelist, and about five minutes as a real surfer. Jack Murphy emerged from the Florida swamp during the early ‘60s surf boom, and won a couple of minor surf comps at Cocoa Beach - a decade before Kelly Slater was born there - before hitting the headlines for the first time in 1964, when, according to his obituary 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 September, 2020

‘Murph’ in handcuffs, New York, 1964. in the New York Times, the “tanned, roguish, party-loving beach boy from Miami transfixed the nation by pulling off the biggest jewel heist in New York City history — the celebrated snatching of the Star of India, a sapphire larger than a golf ball, and a haul of other gems from the American Museum of Natural History”. Murphy and his accomplices left a trail of amateurish clues to the museum theft and were caught by New York detectives two days after the crime, although the loot - worth more than $3 million in today’s dollars - was still missing, stashed by then in waterproof pouches in Miami’s Biscayne Bay. They did time for the heist, but by 1967, Murph was on the surf beat again, showing up at trade shows and

But in that year he also took two female accomplices out for a speedboat ride, beat them to death and threw their bodies overboard, attached to concrete blocks. Murph went inside again, emerging only in 1986 as a happy clapper thrilling daytime TV audiences in the Deep South. “For much of his adult life, Mr Murphy was a caricature drawn from the publicity that engulfed him,” the New York Times eulogised. “Even the mainstream press portrayed him as a kind of folk hero,” the NYT concluded, doing exactly that. In 1996, Murphy was inducted into the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame.

ERLE LEVEY their mind, have a plan they might retire here. “When shopping to buy, it’s part of their motivation. “We could live here, we could retire here. “Since March this year some of those people have started thinking more seriously about that idea and have advanced their plan. “Working from home is really happening. “An example is a Brisbane client who owns a unit and it occurred to them they don’t need to commute to the office, and can run their business from home. “If they can work from home, why can’t they move home to Noosa? “Clearer air, uncluttered streets ... why wouldn’t you?’’ Luke said Noosa was also seen as a safe haven, especially with people who spend significant amounts on travel. Now they cannot. So they think maybe Noosa is a good spot to grab a bit of property. Luke has reported the sale prior to auction of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom beachside apartment at 2/28 Tristania Dve, Marcus Beach. Scheduled to go to the market Saturday at 10am, the property went to a local buyer wanting to holiday with family. Luke said that during the campaign there was good interest from dog owners as the apartment was right by the off-leash beach area.

Currently split into two tenancies of 119sq m and 77sq m, it is partially leased with the potential to occupy or lease out the remaining space. The property allows for a mix of uses and has rear roller door access for loading and unloading of stock. Interest has been mainly from local businesses or investors. Nick said the market was starting to feel the shift in sentiment as businesses look
to relocate to the regions due to the impact of Covid-19. “The Sunshine Coast has been on fire,’’ he said. “We have sold 40 blocks of industrial land since March. “Most of that has been at Chevallum, Coolum Eco Park and Aura. “The office building at Foundation Place in the new Maroochydore CBD is 75-80% leased and it’s not finished yet. “We are certainly bucking the trend. “There has definitely been a rush of inquiry and deals done.

SITTING at Aromas in Hastings Street, it reminds you of how good Noosa is after an overnight shower of rain. Everything is that bit fresher. It’s like being in the tropics and the rain clears the air. That’s what I love about Noosa. With Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate, we are kicking back over a coffee ... remembering old times but talking about what’s happening now in the real estate market. Noosa is flavour of the month ... yet it’s been like that for so many years. “Remember the Ken Rosewall Tennis Centre that used to be on this site?’’ I ask Luke. “I used to play there,’’ he replied. “It was a short-cut through to Hastings St. “There was Sandy’s deli, San Sebastián shoe shop, the Bamboo Hut restaurant, a chemist. “You could play under lights. It had a resort feel.’’ “Steve Williams used to coach there.’’ That attraction of Noosa is still at front of mind for property buyers, Luke said. “They are moving their decisions forward. “Some might own a holiday property and most of those, somewhere in the back of

196sq m retail premises at Lot 18, 18 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Friday, September 25, at midday.
THE VALUE OF LAND Karen Harman has shown the value of property as an investment with the sale this week of a beachfront block of land at Sunrise Beach for $6.65m. Karen originally sold the 775sq m block in the Beaches enclave about 19 years ago and has kept in touch with the owner ever since. That sale in January 2002 was for $1.350m. “He was one of the original landowners,’’ Karen said. “Lot 7 is one of the nicer ones, and long considered to be one of the best. “It has a higher elevation and a beautiful, big 25m frontage. Subdivided in 2000 from what was the Sunrise Beach Caravan Park, six of the eight blocks in Beaches have been built on. The property was not actively on the market and was purchased by a Brisbane family looking for a holiday home. “The market is very strong,’’ Karen said, “and beautiful pieces of land are highly sought after. “Beachfront is finite. You get incredible beach views and access from that enclave.’’

LOCATION AND PRESENTATION Sharon McLure at Laguna Real Estate has sold the two-bedroom, two-plus bathroom townhouse at 10/148 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, ahead of auction. Scheduled for November 7, the auction process brought several private inspections as well as multiple offers to the table. The property had already been renovated by the owner who had been there 11 years and used it as a weekender, Sharon said. It went to a local buyer who plans to live there forever. He had just sold and was downsizing, and needed to be near the river. He told me ‘This has not just made my day but made my life’. “Everyone is oh, so happy.’’ Sharon now has a beautifully-renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 8 Berrima Row, Noosa Heads, that is listed in the mid $1.4m. “Beautifully renovated and with two living areas, there is not a thing to be done “It’s the perfect holiday home or permanent residence due to it being low maintenance. “There is room for a boat or a van as
it has its own slab as well as double-car garaging.’’ EUMUNDI CHARM ATTRACTS BUYER A four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 9 Burrell Avenue, Eumundi, has gone under contract with Jen Galinska of Ray White Rural Eumundi. As well as additional passive income through Airbnb, the house had a craft room/study. The low-maintenance home 1km from town centre also had a large shed accessible from a double side gate. Jen had an offer in the first week from people moving from interstate who were attracted by the easy access to town and the highway. The shed has an office so it appealed as a work-from home situation, especially with storage and extra vehicle garaging. The buyers were from Victoria, and relied upon on-line as well as family inspections. The price was expected to be well into the high $600,000s. Now Jen has a block of land at Amamoor Creek for sale in the high $200,000s-early $300,000s. The 27-acre block provides the basis for an affordable self-sufficient lifestyle.

BEDAZZLING WATER VIEWS, SUNNY DAYS STEP inside an elevated, brand spanking new apartment with grand terraces on three sides, is close to the resident’s only pool and speaks only of carefree, sun-splashed days. What an enviable unparalleled lifestyle of unequivocal luxury it offers, desired by many, but rarely available. Until now. The jewel in the crown is in the exclusive praise-winning enclave of Parkridge Terrace which is poised on a ridge, appears to hover over the Noosa National Park and boasts bedazzling 180-degree views of Lake Weyba, Mt Coolum, Noosa Springs golf course, the hinterland and beyond. A subtle contemporary earthiness establishes its roots in the pale oak flooring which travels from the front door through the hallway, past a study to the expansive open plan living/dining area. It is obviously designed for sophisticated entertaining. In addition, the smooth indoor/outdoor connectivity to the private expansive low-walled sun-drenched terraces on three sides, suggests living the good life continues alfresco from sunrise to sunset and beyond. Open the back gate from one of the terraces out to lush lawn and the short pathway to the residents-only glimmering pool and serious swimmers, shallow-end splashers and sun worshipers will be in their element. Ceilings throughout the apartment are lofty, and bright natural light is the sort that invites itself in through the banks of sliders. Motorised roller blinds add a practical and decorative aesthetic. Also complementing the core fundamentals of a truly functional and a well thought-out interior design is the sizeable kitchen with designer pendants, walk-in pantry, Vintec wine fridge, stone-topped 3.5m island bench, Miele appliances and a lengthy picture window in place of a splashback. At the end of a second hallway in the north-easterly wing, is the luxe king master suite which opens out to a private terrace. The large ensuite has stone floor tiles, a double vanity with a full wall mirror plus translucent glass doors to the shower and toilet. The walk-in-robe would suit a fashionista. Two queen-size bedrooms with built-in robes share a bathroom. “This outstanding location places you within absolute close proximity of everything Noosa Heads,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Julie Bengtsson and Cameron Urquhart. “There are no through roads, so it is a true residential enclave with an abundance of protected nature including established walkways and bikeways leading to Lake Weyba. It is minutes to Noosa’s Hastings Street, multiple shopping precincts and pristine beaches, yet tucked away in a verdant oasis.”

ON THE COVER
LAVISH APARTMENT LIVING MINUTES TO NOOSA MAIN BEACH CLEAN lines and bold colours were synonymous with revered architect Gabriel Poole, and his building ‘Alkira’ - a group of 3 luxury apartments, 400metres from Hastings St - has been a coveted Noosa landmark since 1997. Admire the national park-like backdrop with giant staghorn-studded Norfolk Island pines fringing the exterior. Step inside the front entrance, look through the ground level apartment’s oh-so-wide double glass doors and along the light drenched hallway with a picture window out to a green space. Note, it is all about halcyon days with a unique splash of luxe cool at every turn. Stone floors, lofty ceilings, plantation shutters, VJ-profile doors, banks of louvres designed as breezeways plus over-generous open-plan living and dining spaces effectively join up in a seamless fashion to the wide terrace. It wraps around on the north-westerly sides, has a backdrop of filtered peeks of Noosa waterways and the hinterland, and a few steps down to the pool terrace. Yes, the pool is exclusive to you and the options of where to entertain or catch the sun’s rays are numerous. Stunning furniture, artworks and accessories add an interior designer tone throughout, similarly the long galley-style kitchen with its lush brick toned cabinetry, stainless steel/granite benchtops, long
island bench/breakfast bar, and premium appliances. Off the kitchen is a covered terrace with outdoor kitchen and barbecue, also steps down to the pool area. Wine aficionados will be thrilled with the dedicated cellar and everyone loves lots of storage. In the north wing, everything about the master suite is oversize including the fully tiled ensuite with walk-in shower, double vanities, walk-in robe, and courtyard with spa/hot tub. Two queen-size bedrooms with robes share a family-size bathroom. One has access to the main terrace. “The lure of heading to the idyllic climes of sophisticated Noosa Heads and enjoying everything about this ground level lavish apartment is irresistible,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jill Goode, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday, 26 September 2020. “Leave the car in the garage, walk to Noosa Main Beach and some of Australia’s top restaurants in Hastings Street, or take your surfboard on the pushbike to Noosa National Park where you find some of the world’s best surf breaks. “From the playgrounds of the rich and famous to locals who call it home, the convenience of a Noosa lifestyle can never be underestimated. Whatever the reason, the investment future of properties like this, is totally secure”. ●
