Third time’s a charm Threats from bushfires last year and Covid-19 last May twice postponed the Great Noosa Country Trail Walk but last weekend the walk went ahead in the most successful event of its 20 year history. Jim Ennis of event organisers Cooroy Future Group said they had their largest group ever with 165 walkers and feedback was overwhelmingly positive. See page 7 for full story

Feds to shell out By Phil Jarratt The Noosa River oyster reef restoration program seems set to receive a major windfall as part of a $61.7 million Federal Government investment in the environment, through the $1 billion COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund. Announcing the investment last week, Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said that a $20 million reef builder shellfish restoration program would be shared between at least 11 bushfire and COVID-19-affected coastal communities to rescue native marine ecosystems from the risk of local extinction, rejuvenating local fish stocks and creating spectacular tourism dive sites in the process.

The Noosa River program, managed by The Nature Conservancy, is the only Queensland project currently listed under the Reef Builder funding. Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said the announcements showed the Morrison-McCormack Government was delivering practical and lasting environmental outcomes while creating jobs and growing local economies. “Working with The Nature Conservancy, we will restore native shellfish reefs lost decades ago through over-fishing and dredging, creating a paradise for recreational fishers and helping to protect local coastlines from erosion,” Minister Ley said. Although the controversial Noosa River

program has divided the council at times, Acting Mayor Frank Wilkie used the recent council newsletter to praise the work of The Nature Conservancy, saying: “The project is part of a range of initiatives aimed at improving the Noosa River’s health and the quality of water flowing out into Noosa’s much-loved World Surfing Reserve, Laguna Bay and the North Shore.” Dr Chris Gillies, Oceans Program Director of The Nature Conservancy, said: “Rebuilding these reefs will create local jobs, produce millions of new fish, improve water quality, protect coastlines from erosion, and establish new fishing and dive tourism hotspots. “During reef building, a variety of jobs are

created, ranging from barge operators, to truck drivers, to shellfish growers and divers. After construction, the reefs will provide public benefits such as cleaner water and more fish for everyone.” However, in an email to Noosa Today just prior to publication, Dr Gillies was at pains to distance The Nature Conservancy from speculation about the size of the Noosa grant. “No funding allocation towards the Noosa project has yet been assigned by the Federal Government or The Nature Conservancy, and there is no opportunity for local government or the community to influence the allocation of funding for reef restoration in Noosa,” he wrote.

After 10 years of servicing the community, a Peregian Springs doctor has been named GP of the Year at the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Queensland faculty awards. Dr Emily Gordon of Peregian Springs Doctors said she was was humbled to discover she had received the award. “I don’t think I’m better than any other GP on the coast. I just happened to have some proactive patients that decided to nominate me and fill in all the paper work,” Dr Gordon said. “I feel a little bit overwhelmed and certainly grateful for the acknowledgement but I don’t think I do anything different to the many GPs out there that love what they do and look after people every day. “I want to thank the community and the team here as this is not about me. I can’t do anything without the lovely reception staff, the nursing staff and the other GPs here. The practice here is a joy to work at every day.” Dr Gordon said she had always been fascinated with the field of medicine while growing up. “Growing up in a country town, I had always wanted to be a country doctor,” she said. “I initially thought I wanted to be a nurse but I was fortunate enough to get into medicine and I worked in the bush for a number of years.” RACGP Acting President Associate Professor Ayman Shenouda congratulated the award winners. “This year’s award winners highlight

In a week where WHO reports there are 2 million new cases of Covid-19 worldwide each week and US president Donald Trump very publicly flouts his illness it is great to be in Noosa. Not only has our own Covid-testing clinic at The J told us there have been no positive tests locally in the 3000 they have conducted but events and entertainment have begun to return. The J Theatre opened for the first time since March for a production of The Addams Family. The Noosa Beach Classic Car Club held their first car show. The Great Noosa Country Trail Walk went ahead. Noosa was buzzing with people over the long weekend. Restaurants and cafes were full, the beaches and river were busy with people and dogs. Now that the school holidays are over Tourism Noosa is asking locals to keep the momentum going. For the next couple of months until the school holidays roll around again in December businesses and tourism operators are encouraging Noosans to experience the activities available here in your backyard. With bans on international and interstate tourists there’s no better time to take the opportunity to try the many activities on offer. Go and ride a horse or camel on the beach, try stand up paddle boarding or surfing, take out a boat on the river, cruise the Everglades or wander the trails around the hinterland. And look out for the local discounts being offered over the coming weeks.

I’ve had a friend die of breast cancer and so it is important to raise awareness.“ 3.

I think we all know someone who we love dearly who has been affected by breast cancer and that statistics are alarming.“ 12463669-HL40-20

Capacity cap could grow By Abbey Cannan Tourism has been in the economic frontline of the pandemic and the announcement of the Queensland’s COVID Safe Roadmap should give some much-needed hope to Noosa’s business leaders. Despite the State Government increasing event capacity numbers this month to 1000 people, Noosa Council has yet to increase their restricted event numbers from 500. Council’s COVID-19 reference group will have further talks in coming weeks to review the approach to managing large scale events in Noosa, following the release of the new COVID-19 recovery roadmap. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said flexibility was key in the current environment. “The goalposts are continually changing

and it’s important that we look to adapt where possible,” she said. Cr Stewart said Council would continue to take a long-term view to its COVID management response, as community safety was paramount. “We are in regular discussions with our business leaders and Council is determined to support our businesses as best we can in these unprecedented times, while balancing community and ratepayer wellbeing,“ Cr Stewart said. “Finding the right balance is certainly challenging.“ Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced Stage 4 of the easing of restrictions from October 1 included the border zone with northern New South Wales opening, and from October 2 standing eating and

drinking was permitted at indoor and outdoor venues with a COVID Safe Plan or checklist. Stage 5 of easing restrictions on November 1 will see the borders open to New South Wales, provided there has been no unlinked cases in the previous 28 days, and Stage 6 of easing restrictions on December 1 will see outdoor venues increase maximum capacity from 1000 to 1500 and unlimited dancing at weddings with a COVID Safe Plan. The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), Chief Executive Daniel Gschwind said this clarity is what the industry had desperately sought from government. “This is great news for the tourism industry with Queensland destinations being accessible again,“ he said. “We hope bookings will stream in from our New South Wales travellers giving some sort

of relief to struggling tourism operators. “The easing of restrictions on events will also attract visitors to destinations giving the industry hope that things will begin to get back to normal.“ QTIC has been advocating strongly for the easing of restrictions and support for the tourism industry as the industry has been left devasted over the past few months. Mr Gschwind said, “Having a roadmap will allow tourism operators to plan for a strong summer season across the state. It will be a long road to recovery but with a clear plan in place we will now be able to implement steps to get back to business. “We are hopeful that we can soon open the border to our Victorian travellers once community transmission is under control so that we can all enjoy the Sunshine State again.“

Plenty of exposure here By Margaret Maccoll When Rainer Mueckenberger posted his Noosa Nudist Retreat for sale on Gumtree Harcourts Noosa real estate agents Clint Jensen and Jeremy Krieger decided it was right up their alley. They met with Rainer to market his 2.5 acre property and he agreed but reminded them to abide by the dress code on their return to sign the papers. “We went out there in the buff and signed the property up,” Clint said. For 20 years Rainer has owned the Doonan property he loves for being centrally located only 10 minutes to Hastings Street and Noosa River as well as Alexandria Bay which he is sad to say is no longer the nudist beach it once was. Rainer’s foray into naturism began as a 16-year-old holidaying in Italy. He said after spending all day in and out of the ocean wearing wet Bermuda shorts he developed a bladder infection and a doctor advised him to go natural. “Germans are very much into naturism,“ he said. Rainer said since then he had found nudist beaches to be the cleanest and friendliest and he has never looked back. A chef trained in Munich, Rainer ran restaurants in Sydney before moving to Noosa. He said he has future plans to create a seniors retreat in Thailand. The Noosa Nudist Retreat features an outdoor nature gym, a bondage room, a romantic

Noosa Oyster reef recovery project gains momentum From page 1 Noosa Today believes that funding of between $500,000 and $1.2 million has been allocated by the Commonwealth for Noosa. Noosa Parks Association president Dr Michael Gloster commented: “NPA is delighted. In partnership with The Thomas Foundation we’ve been working for an adequately funded and TNC-led Noosa River oyster reef recovery project for over six years. The first breakthrough came when we were successfully match-makers between Noosa Council and TNC. As their relationship grew, they formalised a contractual alliance, with each committing $1.2 million towards reef building, while seeking a further $1.2 million from the Commonwealth. “All credit to TNC and Noosa Council for pulling this off, with the Federal Government now taking it to a whole new level. The Noosa River’s biodiversity, prawn and fish stocks are in decline, caused by excessive sediment pollution which the river can’t handle, following the historic destruction of its former huge natural filtration system - the river’s once magnificent oyster reefs. “TNC are world leaders in oyster reef recovery. In partnership with Noosa Council and the Commonwealth, they’ll start bringing back the Noosa River’s oyster reefs, and in doing so, start bringing back the fish.”

Black Mass calls for protection By Abbey Cannan After calling on the Federal government to cover the costs of security for their upcoming Black Mass, the Noosa Temple of Satan has taken matters into their own hands. In the face of “religious-based threats against its members’ right to express their freedom of religion“, The J demanded that the Temple of Satan pay for eight hours of time for security guards to be present. The Noosa Council-owned venue hosting the Satanic Black Mass advised the Noosa Temple of Satan that it would apply a punitive additional cost of $480 for two security guards to be present at the half-hour event. Brother Samael Demo-Gorgon, who is spokesperson for the Temple, said, “I am shocked to see the gross intolerance shown by Christians towards people of different faiths.” “The Noosa Temple of Satan has been surprised by the large number of threats received on social media directed at the Temple by fanatical Christians. These threats range from burning down the venue with all inside, burning participants alive at the stake and putting supporters of the Black Mass to death,” he said. “All this for merely practicing our right to freedom of religion in community with others and in private. We are simply manifesting our religion in worship, observance, practice and teaching. “These outrageous threats to our event must be seen in the light of the calls by our Christian Prime Minister Scott Morrison for a Religious Freedom Bill. “We have, however, been heartened by the response to these threats by the Noosa police, who have stated that they will be present on the night of the Black Mass ‘to keep the peace’.“ After demanding Noosa Federal MP Llew O’Brien step in and fund the security costs, the group has raised funds of $666 to cover

IN BRIEF Manhunt on Bribie Island after shooting Police have charged two men after a woman was seriously injured in Rothwell on Thursday. It will be alleged a 27-year-old woman was injured and then left at a Kelliher Street address. She was transported to hospital where she remains in a serious condition. Investigations tracked a vehicle of interest to Bribie Island with police declaring an emergent situation under the Public Safety Preservation Act (PSPA) at 10.45am with cordons put in place to assist with police searches. The PSPA was revoked at 2.05pm. A 27-year-old-man was located at Bellara at 3.45pm and charged with two counts of burglary and one count each of enter dwelling with intent, receiving tainted property, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was due to appear in the Redcliffe Magistrates Court on Friday. A second 27-year-old man presented to police in Cleveland overnight and has been charged with grievous bodily harm, dangerous conduct with a weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was due to appear before the Cleveland Magistrates Court on Friday.

Organisers of the Black Mass at The J have raised $666 to pay for security at the event due to online threats. the cost themselves. Brother Samael said that The J could not expect Noosa’s Satanists to have to pay security costs every time they hold a Black Mass. “This would be grossly unfair. Hillsong Church uses the same facility for their Sunday services and is not charged additional security costs by Council for the time they spend at this same venue,” he said. Noosa Council’s standard hiring agreement at The J includes the requirement for hirers to pay for security should Council deem this is reasonable, such as to maintain safety. Community Services Director Kerri Contini said the charge was only implemented for those events where an assessment deems it is warranted.

“We have been advised that members of the public intend to stage protests on the evening of the Satanic Black mass booking,” she said. “Council considers it reasonable that security is on site to ensure event attendees, members of the public and staff are kept safe.” Ms Contini said the cost of security was based on the security company’s minimum charge out rate. “Queensland Police Service do not provide security for private events and their presence on the day cannot be guaranteed given their wide-ranging responsibilities and priorities.“ Ms Contini said Council has never applied security charges to Hillsong Church as their events to date have not presented any safety concerns.

Two male teens were assessed at the scene of a car fire for minor burns and injuries following a ca fire on Yabba Creek Road and Mary Valley Road at 7.06pm. Both patients later declined ambulance transport to hospital.

Covid clinic reduces worry By Margaret Maccoll

Since setting up at The J Theatre car park about six weeks ago the Sunny Street Respiratory Clinic has performed about 3000 Covid-19 tests and helped alleviate concerns in the community about the disease. Sunny Street co-founder Dr Sonya Goodwin said typically people had come to the clinic because they had a runny nose, sore throat, cough or they were worried about the disease and others had been travelling and wanted to make sure they hadn’t caught the virus. Dr Goodwin said the ages of clients attending ranged from babies to the elderly

and no one had tested positive. “We’re doing the swabbing and alleviating a lot of anxiety in the community,“ she said. “A lot of people are concerned. We’re giving people the information they need and de-escalating any anxiety.“ The clinic which is funded by The Australian Government has had its contract extended until March next year. It is open daily and is free to patients. To make an appointment phone 5313 7778.

Have your say on our surf reserve Queenslanders are being invited have their say on how to preserve Queensland’s World Surfing Reserves for surfers and beachgoers now and into the future, canvassing the major issues facing our precious wave zones. Sport Minister Mick de Brenni said the Queensland Government was committed to ensuring the pristine beaches of the southern Gold Coast and Noosa were protected for locals and tourists alike. “We’ve heard from experts - now we’ve opened consultation to hear from the people who visit our beaches, swim in our waters, and surf our waves,” he said. “Our government knows the waves on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are a key driver of economic and social prosperity in these regions. “We’ve committed to consider enshrining these protections in law. “Much of the area surrounding these surf breaks is already protected, such as the vegetation, bushland, threatened species and water quality, but initial consultation has indicated that there could be a gap when it comes to protecting these highly regarded wave zones from developments or uses that could be detrimental.“ President of the Noosa World Surfing Reserve Phil Jarratt said he welcomed the opportunity for the broad community to have their say about how Queensland’s two World Surfing Reserves might be managed. “Since we started campaigning to become a National Surfing Reserve more than seven years ago, our committee has sought to be inclusive not just of the surfing community

Now, as a World Surfing Reserve since February 2020, we have been proactive in guiding the State Government through the process of framing legislation to protect these reserves. We are extremely fortunate in Noosa in that much of the heavy lifting has been done by previous generations in creating a backdrop of national park for our world famous surf breaks, but there is still plenty of work to be done, and our stewardship council looks forward to hearing ideas from the community.“ Gold Coast World Surfing Reserve chairman Andrew McKinnon said the value of the World Surfing Reserves to the community was immeasurable. “They’re important in an environmental, tourism and economic sense, but especially to the thousands of surfers, beachgoers and

boaties who enjoy them every day,“ he said. “Now that these two areas have been recognised globally, we have a unique opportunity to craft formal protections for the waves which ultimately support hundreds of surfboard and apparel shops, surfing schools, hotels, surfing festivals and surf life-saving competitions.” Mr de Brenni said the consultation is expected to be open online until the end of November, before a decision is made on how to best enshrine protections for our surf zones. There are currently 11 World Surfing Reserves around the globe including two in Queensland - places deemed important for preserving due to their outstanding waves, wildlife, coastlines and natural beauty.

The identity of an elderly woman who was left at Nambour Hospital in early September has been uncovered. Police have confirmed public assistance is no longer required in identifying the woman, who is still being treated at Sunshine Coast University Hospital since September 6. The woman was taken to the hospital after a man located her in a frail state walking along Brandenburg Road in Mooloolah Valley and offered her assistance. The woman recently began speaking with police and has clearly indicated she is aware of her identity and does not wish to disclose this information for personal reasons. For this reason, police are requesting the public respect the woman’s privacy as per her request. As no criminality has been detected, police have ceased involvement in this matter and the woman will be left in the care of Queensland Health.

Trail’s third time lucky By Margaret Maccoll First it was bushfires and then a pandemic,but nothing was going to stop the Great Noosa Country Trail walk from going ahead. Jim Ennis of event organisers Cooroy Future Group said they had their largest group ever with 165 walkers and feedback was overwhelmingly positive. “It had to be rescheduled but when it came together it came together beautifully,“ he said.

Mr Ennis said people were keen to get out into nature with about 80 per cent of walkers camping in allocated camping grounds and the rest staying in local accommodation. “About 15 per cent of people had done it before and virtually everybody wants to do it again,“ he said. Unfortunately a number of walkers had booked from Victoria, Tasmania and NSW but were unable to attend and were given refunds, but their places were quickly filled by

Queenslanders, many coming from Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. The Great Noosa Country Trail Walk traverses the country towns of Cooroy, Kin Kin, Cooran and Pomona via 60km of dedicated walking trails through farmlands, natural forests and spectacular lookouts of the hinterland through to the ocean. Mr Ennis said with plenty of open space the event lent itself to being Covid-safe and it was well-supported by governments and

the local communities. “It’s about getting people into the hinterland and supporting the hinterland,“ he said. The Kin Kin community made sandwiches, Tewantin-Noosa Lions provided breakfast and morning teas and Noosa Rotary provided the shuttle bus to transport walkers and move their luggage around. There were 17 experienced guides and a team of volunteers to deliver a fantastic event.

Sky’s the limit for The Lift Project Sunshine Coast Nine well-deserving local “lifters” have secured unlimited access to The Lift Project online wellbeing program created by internationally renowned lifestyle medicine expert Dr Darren Morton. The group was part of the first round of The Lift Project Sunshine Coast cohort and join more than 4000 residents from across the region who have participated in the program. Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said he was pleased to see council was the first organisation to partner with Dr Morton to deliver the program free for all Sunshine Coast residents. “At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic it was becoming clear just how important it was for people to look after their physical and mental wellbeing,” Cr Law said. The online program kicked off in May, and due to popular demand, council rolled out a second round in July. It explores 10 wellness-enhancing topics across 10 weeks, with an emphasis on mental wellbeing, and combines scientifically proven strategies from the exciting fields of

Dr Morton said it was very hard to select just one winner and instead chose all entrants as they were all winners. “There were some truly inspiring stories that were shared by participants,” Dr Morton said.

Zahra Rimmelzwaan from Mooloolah Valley said she watched the lessons at least twice a week. “After battling depression and lack of motivation for years, and from late last year starting to have health problems and feeling fatigued at all times with severe back pains, this project along with live meditations ...

has helped me so much and changed my life around,” Ms Rimmelzwaan said. “I am very much grateful for this project as it has improved my life in many ways.” Patricia Byrne of Caloundra volunteers at St Vincent de Paul and said the program had helped her share valuable tips with those who need help. “Unfortunately these people seem to lack any significant connections and I’d love for them to participate in a program like this,” she said. “It’s so important to live in the now and try and find something each day to be grateful for.” And for Carole Caughey it helped her rediscover a love for the outdoors. “That was so important especially during COVID-19.” The winners will receive unlimited, lifetime access to the full online program.

Check your breasts, now For Rene Neitz, being told she had breast cancer at just 43 was shocking and unimaginable. “It was very scary to think I had this little thing growing in my body and there were no signs presenting to me that it was happening,” Rene said. In February, the mum-of-two was asked by her GP if she had been for a mammogram because she was “of the age” being over 40. “I got back to work and told my work buddy that I was told I should go for a mammogram and shrugged it off, but this little guardian angel friend of mine said she had to book hers in so we booked them in at the same time.” The Coolum Beach resident went for her mammogram and within two weeks was called back for further testing after an abnormal mass was found on her chest wall. Following further mammograms, ultrasounds and a biopsy, Rene - who had no family history of breast cancer - was diagnosed with Stage 1 hormone positive breast cancer. “We lost my husband’s mum to breast cancer and we never imagined it would touch our family again,’’ she added. The 1.6cm growth was removed as well as four lymph nodes - all while the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak. “I’ve gone from being a healthy person who very rarely even takes Panadol to someone who is on a daily cancer drug and monthly hormone blocking injections. This was followed by four weeks of radiation treatment to my breast at the Adem Crosby Centre at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. “Everyone in that Centre is amazing, from the reception staff to the nurses and the radiation therapists. “Daily treatment for cancer was overwhelming but I found myself relaxed and calm from their kindness. We’re very lucky here on the Sunshine Coast to have somewhere so close to home that we can go for treatment and

could be now if I hadn’t gone for that mammogram when I did, but sometimes it pops into my thoughts and the fear and anxiety is real.” October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Rene hopes sharing her story will create awareness for women from the age of 40 to go and get checked. “It’s really important that we spread the word that we check our breasts monthly if not

daily and that we go for a breast screen every two years particularly once we turn 50 any tests that are recommended when we reach the age. “The testing may be uncomfortable but the fear and pain of what could happen if we leave them unchecked far outweighs the small amount of discomfort that comes from having the tests done.”

A Queensland-first for breast cancer patients Sunshine Coast women now have access to Queensland’s first state-of-the-art Lighting and Sensory Distraction Suites for regular and follow-up breast screens. Wishlist funded $25,000 towards sensory lighting and images projected on walls and ceilings within the suites at Nambour Hospital to make a more comfortable breast screen experience for women. BreastScreen Sunshine Coast’s Medical Director Dr Alison Roper said women sometimes put off having a mammogram because they think the experience might be unpleasant. “We want women to have a more agreeable experience because it is so important women have a regular breast screen every two years” Dr Roper said. “If a cancer can be found in its early stages it gives a woman more treatment options

and significantly increases the chances of the treatment being successful.” The new Lighting and Sensory Distraction Suites assists in calming and distracting women during assessment procedures, and

patients can choose music and landscapes captured by local photographer Ross Eason. The funding was made possible by the Wishlist Melbourne Cup 2019 event sponsored by Spire Law, BDO and T-Shop Biz,

and Buderim Foundation. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe said Wishlist had also recently placed an order for a lateral arm accessory for breast biopsy patients at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, worth $15,000. “I have been told this equipment will improve lesion access, improve patient comfort and biopsy efficiency on breast cancer patients,” Ms Rowe said. Currently only 56 percent of women aged 50-74 on the Sunshine Coast have a regular breast screen every two years. It is hoped that, in response to the new therapeutic suites, the breast screening rates in will increase to meet the national accreditation standard of 70 percent.

Taking a leading role The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation has appointed a new executive coordinator to lead its programs and fundraising initiatives and support the volunteer Board of Directors. Noosa local Sharon Wright was recently appointed to the role bringing with her 15 years’ experience in management roles across the social enterprise, tertiary education and tourism sectors. As a member of the previous Noosa Biosphere Ltd Education, Research and Development Sector Board and Co-presenter of the Voices of the Biosphere radio program, Sharon has in-depth knowledge of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve status - an accolade given by UNESCO to Noosa in 2007 for its commitment to sustainable development. “Noosa is a truly special place. I put my hand up for this role as I want to play my part in shaping our future through championing innovation, building economic resilience and protecting our natural habitats and biodiversity,” Ms Wright said. “Maintaining the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere status is a fine balancing act of sustainable development and conservation, but one that we as a community have achieved over many years. It is something we can be proud to present to the world,” she said. The new Executive Coordinator role will support the Foundation’s administration and governance, as well as take a lead role in developing and progressing key projects and fundraising. Ms Wright said she plans to undertake a number of community engagement activities to inform the Noosa community about the Foundation’s current projects and to look for emerging projects to support. “Alongside my colleagues we want to be more accessible to the community,” she said. “We are currently running an initiative with local community groups to help protect the

Rhonda Prescott at Lake Macdonald

Rhonda Prescott

Greens candidate Rhonda Can you tell us about yourself, your work and your family and where you live? I have been part of the Noosa community for nearly 25 years. I became a qualified accountant in 1998 and in those days I worked for an accounting firm in Mary Street, Noosaville, preparing tax returns for local business people. Following that I was the Financial Controller for a leading Noosa interior design and building company for many years before establishing my own business preparing financial reports and conducting audit work for several local businesses. For the past 7 years I have been employed as the Company Accountant for an innovative award-winning manufacturing company based in Yandina. I live at Lake Macdonald with my partner who has a garden maintenance business in Noosa. I have no children. I am busy fighting for a viable future for other people’s children and grand-children! Why have you decided to run for the seat of Noosa in this election? I love Noosa and pay tribute to all who have

fought to protect this area. As well as making this a beautiful place to live, protection of our natural resources is essential to many businesses in this region, from tourism to food production. I am proud to represent The Greens, the only political party for whom environmental policies are central to our world view. To quote from our charter “We believe that contesting elections is a necessary step toward the building of an ecologically sustainable and socially just society”. How many previous attempts have you had to win the seat? I am a first-time candidate but have worked in the background to help our previous State candidates - Phillip Jenkins in 2017, Joe Shlegeris in 2015, Jim Macdonald in 2012 and Steve Haines in 2009. Any one of these candidates would have been a fine representative for Noosa and I thank them for building support for the Greens in this area and paving the way for me to become the Greens candidate this time. What makes this election different? Decisions taken by the Queensland government in the next term of parliament will be critical to the future of the Great Barrier Reef, the Great Artesian basin and food and water security for Queenslanders.

This election will also be a test of the State’s Covid-19 response and strategies to manage the economic challenges arising from the pandemic. What are the issues most important to people in this election? Continued suppression of Covid-19, local infrastructure such as Beckmans Road, economic recovery and employment. What would you do to resolve these issues? Listen to and act upon advice from health professionals regarding Covid-19. Lead a four-year economic recovery plan which will create 78,000 jobs per year throughout Queensland by investing in public services and infrastructure including roads and public housing funded by increasing the royalties paid by big mining corporations and introducing a State levy on big banks. The COVID-19 crisis has proved we should never have allowed Australia or Queensland to lose so much of its manufacturing capacity. The Greens will revive manufacturing in Queensland by establishing a Queensland Manufacturing Authority to provide grants and cheap loans to kick-start clean manufacturing projects including solar panel and wind turbine manufacturing and green steel. This will create thousands of good, secure jobs.

Why should people vote for you? What can you deliver that other candidates can’t? Every vote for The Greens sends a signal to all elected representatives and whoever forms government that there are a substantial number of voters who care about the environment and social justice. This should assist to shift policies in this direction, especially if the Greens gain the balance of power in this election. No vote is wasted because Queensland’s full preferential voting system means that, even if your first choice misses out, your preferences will flow to other candidates. Over the years I have worked in a variety of occupations and industries including farming, mining, hospitality and manufacturing, as well as voluntary work in sporting clubs and other community organisations. My experience and professional qualifications have resulted in the development of a unique set of skills which I am fully prepared to use to serve the Noosa community as their representative in State Parliament. Unlike the other parties, The Greens do not accept any corporate donations. Our policies are based upon evidence, science and consultation with stakeholders. We work for YOU. 12453581-FA28-20

The Noosa-Cooroora story The Queensland electorate of Noosa was carved out of the old electorate of Cooroora by a redistribution before the 1992 election, but not before Ray Barber, the small but perfectly formed Labor candidate, turned nearly 80 years of conservative rule on its head by winning the seat with a massive swing as part of Wayne Goss’s Labor landslide of 1989. Ray was to be a one-term wonder and the new seat of Noosa went back to its Tory roots in 1992 with the election of bait shop magnate and Liberal Party candidate Bruce “Davo” Davidson, but we’ll get to that in a minute. The history of the seat of Cooroora goes back to its creation in 1912, when its first MLA was Gympie war hero and farmer Harry Walker, who had served with distinction as part of the Queensland Regiment in the Boer War in 1899-1902 and had been elected member for Wide Bay in 1907. The conservative parties came and went over the next 35 years, but Harry went on forever, serving the Nationals, the Country Party, the CPNP and the Country Party again, finally being given the agriculture portfolio for longevity, in which capacity he drove in the T.M. Burke cavalcade of bridges in 1929, and proposed several toasts at the opening of Noosa Beach Estate, thus beginning a long association between the local member and the huge developer. After more than a generation of conservative rule, you’d think that Cooroora would have opted for change when Harry retired in 1947, but they opted for the Country Party’s David

Gordon Simpson, Cooroora MP 1974-1989. Low, who soon became known as the minister for T.M. Burke, and was instrumental in securing the land for roadwork deal that created Peregian, Marcus, Castaways and Sunrise beaches. Dave Low won 16 elections over the next 27 years, and when he held the position of

Picture: SUPPLIED chairman of Maroochy Shire as well as MLA for Cooroora, he was all-powerful. The next long-term Cooroora member, Gordon Simpson, was a conservative of a different colour. Over his 15 years as National Party member from 1974 to 1989, Gordon frequently

fought for environmental sanity in Noosa, was a conduit for the Noosa Parks Association into the highest ranks of the Bjelke-Petersen government, and sometimes even fought his own party to achieve the best results for Cooroora. Following Ray Barber’s brief tenure, the new seat of Noosa went to Bruce Davidson, whose visibility through his weekend fishing forecasts on the TV news saw him become Minister for Tourism in the Borbidge government, where he is remembered as the man who tried to buy rhinoceroses from the South African government for a North Queensland safari park. Nevertheless, Davo had plenty of local fans and served three terms before One Nation preferences helped elect Labor’s Cate Molloy in 2001. Molloy increased her majority in 2004 but quit Labor over its proposed Traveston Dam and ran as an independent in 2006, when she was soundly defeated by the Liberals’ Glen Elmes. Elmes, a popular media executive and behind-the-scenes Liberal operator, served 11 years as MLA for Noosa, serving as Minister for Aboriginal and Multicultural Affairs in the Campbell Newman government, and notably putting Noosa before his party in supporting the 2014 de-amalgamation of Noosa Shire. In 2017, Glen lost the seat to independent Sandy Bolton, who had been a high profile councillor. Apart from a brief period when Cate Molloy sat on the cross benches, Sandy’s first term has been the first time that Noosa has been represented by a true independent, and she has proven hard-working and capable.

Young campaign heads Meet Youth Ambassadors Emma Tomlinson and Faith Roche. They are the final two students out of 12 Noosa’s independent MP Sandy Bolton has had the pleasure to work with during her first term of Parliament and are joining her for the 2020 campaign. “They are yearning not only to learn, but to have a platform for the voice of our youth. They seek change from what they see as an outdated mode of politics, and the negative connotations attached to politicians,” Ms Bolton said. “This they see as discouraging many of their age to engage in the political process, or consider becoming advocates or representatives.” Emma is an emerging singer/songwriter currently studying a creative industries degree. “I am currently Secretary of Student Guild USC, Youth Committee member and arts mentor of the Noosa Chamber of Commerce, Official recognized Ambassador for Autism Queensland as well as ambassador for Sandy,” she said. She has appeared on television in Ten’s Creative Generation and The X-Factor, and plans to incorporate her music into a tool of health therapy. Faith is a Year 12 College Captain at St Andrew’s Anglican College who has worked extensively in volunteering across Noosa. In addition to attending a sponsored Global Youth Leadership Summit in San Diego, Zonta International bestowed on her its Young Women in Public Affairs Award.

Faith Roche and Emma Tomlinson with Sandy Bolton. “I have an intrinsic concern that not all aspects of life are represented in government policies or action; this extends from minority groups in society to natural environments and our changing climate,” she said. The pair will experience first-hand the processes of campaigns and elections and follow on from previous students, for examples in the areas of resources for parliamentary opposition members, and our education system including the pressures faced by both students and teachers. And the realities of where changes are

needed in education including NAPLAN testing, is finally being acknowledged. “With a reported 50% of our teachers leaving the industry within five years of graduating, this is a good start,” Ms Bolton said. “Our youngest ‘Noosans’ are our future, and I am thrilled this election to have Emma and Faith alongside me. “When armed with the knowledge and tools to effect change, they are dynamic. Those that are not enmeshed in parties, ideology and combative methods, look clearly and simply without ‘filters’ on how to address

issues,” Ms Bolton said. “With energy spent in collaboration and facts, not misinformation, headlines and adversarial intent, nor needing to engage in protests. “Just imagine what our Parliament would look like if every MP voted independently in alliance with their community, not to a party? It would make a very interesting Chamber! “And as our youngest leaders demonstrated in this week’s Youth Parliament, debate can be invigorating, respectful and refreshing, and I enjoyed ’playing’ Deputy Speaker for a session very much!“

Brightest minds connect Tech company EarthTech has launched a global online program, Together in Action, and now the countdown is on by 30 October for social entrepreneurs to submit their ideas on how to shape our future. Co-Founder of EarthTech co-founder Ant Moorhouse said the program was designed to connect the best and brightest minds in social innovation with an influential network of judges, organisations, industry experts, and impact investors. “We have opened this summit to the world and with less than one month to go, it’s time for the best and brightest entrepreneurs to step forward and share their ideas. This is the chance to turn their idea into reality and get the support they need to accelerate and scale their business,” he said. Together in Action (TiA) comes off the back of the highly successful EarthTech Challenge

held on Sir Richard Branson’s Makepeace Island in February which attracted 855 entries from 73 countries. The TiA program launch coincides with the United Nations’ 75th anniversary and aims to address the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals. “These are unprecedented times. More than ever, we need tech-enabled social innovations that are localised, impactful and supported by a global crowd of experts,” Mr Moorhouse said. TiA partners with leading impact investors, organisations and innovators to bring these ideas to life through EarthTech’s influential network including strategic partners WaterAid and Save the Children. Submissions are open until 30 October with finalists announced on 16 November, followed by an online Global Impact summit on 19 No-

vember to explore sustainable development themes. Following their highly successful global Challenge earlier this year, the EarthTech team saw the incredible potential to make an even bigger difference globally. “We were overwhelmed by the sheer number of submissions we received for the EarthTech Challenge. Our inaugural winning team, Safewheel, has come so far since we first met them and are now successfully helping people in rural Bangladesh to receive emergency and medical services via their innovative tuk-tuk style ambulances,” Mr Moorhouse said.

It has also allowed Coolum and North Shore Coast Care to host a number of workshops, the first focused on protecting the local turtle populations, while today’s workshop is educating local families about our wallum, or coastal, environment.” Assistant Minister for Waste Reduction and Environmental Management Trevor Evans said the Communities Environment Pro-

gram is empowering grassroots community organisations to protect their local environment right across Australia. “The Morrison Government is backing hard-working local community groups such as Coolum and North Shore Coast Care who are making a positive difference and caring for and improving the environment here on the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Evans said. President of Coolum and North Shore Coast Care Leigh Warneminde said the funding was gratefully received. “It has helped us continue to assist in the management of native species, including threatened species, and their habitat. Threatened local fauna species in our patch include

the loggerhead turtle, green turtle, water mouse, eastern ground parrot, acid frog species, spotted quoll, swamp yabby and honey blue-eye fish just to name a few,” she said. Ms Warneminde explained the Wallum Wildlife Workshop, aimed at families with children, was one of a series of workshops the group was holding. “The nutrient-poor coastal dunes and sand plains of the wallum are home to a diverse array of plants and animals, many of which are specially adapted to life in east Australia’s coastal sandy lowlands,” she said. “And today we have hands-on activities for the kids as well as two ecologists to educate us about this fragile environment.”

Smiles for stage return By Margaret Maccoll When The J Theatre opened for The Little Seed production of The Addams Family at 2pm last Friday it was their first show since March and staff were “smiling from ear to ear“. Ticketing coordinator Jess Tye said it had been tricky to organise the event under Covid-restrictions and staff had been on a huge learning curve but it was worth it. “It’s been wonderful to see the children on stage performing,“ she said. “They’ve been training all year but haven’t been able to perform.“ Jess said under the social distancing regulations the theatre is only able to sell tickets for less than half the theatre. Depending on the number of people booking as a group seats booked range from about 113 to less than 180 compared to full house seating of 402. But with performances sold out it is obvious people are keen to return to the theatre. Jess said their next event, a book launch with Trent Dalton was also sold out and productions coming up included the Wizard of Oz and the Sunshine Coast comedy festival. They hope the theatre will be able to return to normal next year.

Grants for tourism operators to adapt during Covid reliant on international tourism to change their businesses to target the domestic market. “International tourism is the bread and butter for many of our tourism businesses throughout the state. That’s why it’s so important that we support these businesses to change their model to make it through the

pandemic,” Ms Jones said. “Tourism will be vital to rebuilding our economy. This is about safeguarding jobs in the tourism industry.“ Applicants who can demonstrate considerable loss of income due to the closure of Australia’s borders would be able to apply for up to $10,000.

“This program is aiming to assist businesses throughout the state so they can target the domestic market or come back when international tourists return to Queensland,” Ms Jones said. For more information, visit dsdti.qld.gov. au/our-work/covid-19-international-tourism-adaptation-grant/

Noosa to be hit by cuts Regional communities including Noosa and Gympie will be hit hardest by the Federal Government’s planned cuts to the Coronavirus Supplement for people on JobSeeker, Youth Allowance and parenting payments, according to the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS). In the Wide Bay federal electorate, there are currently 17,277 people receiving JobSeeker, Youth Allowance and Parenting Payment - an increase of 60 per cent since December 2019. Cutting the Coronavirus Supplement by $150 a week from 25 September is removing an estimated $2,591,550 per week from the local economy. Analysis by Deloitte Access Economics shows that cutting and removing the Coronavirus Supplement will result in the loss of 33,000 jobs in Queensland including 442 in Noosa and 538 in Gympie. The report says regions which have traditionally relied on the tourism and service sectors for employment will be some of the hardest hit, due to rapid job losses as visitor

numbers have fallen. ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie said delivering a permanent and adequate increase to the JobSeeker payment was one of the most effective ways to inject money back into regional communities.

The old Newstart rate was effectively doubled when the Federal Government brought in the temporary Coronavirus Supplement in March. At the same time, the name of the payment was changed from Newstart to JobSeeker.

The Government cut the Coronavirus Supplement on September 25, reducing incomes of people on JobSeeker by $300 per fortnight. Deloitte Access Economics Partner Nicki Hutley said their analysis showed that the Government’s plan to reduce income support would set back the economy further. “We also know that this would take a serious toll on the wellbeing of millions of people who are without paid work, especially those in regional communities,“ Ms Hutley said. Dr Goldie said the doubling of Newstart at the start of the pandemic came as a huge relief, after 26 years without a real increase to the payment support program, people without paid work were finally able to afford basics. “But they now face a deeply uncertain future, with these devastating cuts to their already tight budgets and 28 people receiving JobSeeker for every job vacancy in regional areas. “We’re calling on the Government to move quickly to legislate a permanent, adequate JobSeeker rate that means people can cover the basics,” Dr Goldie said.

Compost probe put to the test in quest to divert waste Local schools and community gardens are working with Council to test a new invention from an Australian start-up that promises to make composting easier and more successful. If the trial goes well, it could help other schools, community groups, and residents compost organic waste and spare it from landfill - fulfilling a goal of Council’s waste strategy. Cooroy Permaculture Gardens, Veggie Village, Pomona State School and Kin Kin State School are working with Waste Education Officer, Emma Menzies.

“The device consists of a thick probe, which sits in the compost and uses sensors to monitor its health,” Ms Menzies said. “It computes the data and provides the school students and community gardeners with instructions, via an app, on when to turn the compost, add water and more carbon, such as leaves and straw, and any other steps they should take, including advice to overcome pests and odours. “The aim is to make the composting process faster and more successful.” Known as Monty, the device is the work

of an Australian technology start-up - Monty Compost Co. Designer, Ashley Baxter, says it promises to turn anyone into an expert composter - a claim Council is looking to test with the current trial. “Organic waste produces methane gas as it decomposes in landfill, trapping 25 times more heat than carbon dioxide. By contrast, composting doesn’t produce methane gas and the finished product is great for use in gardens, so anything we can do to promote and encourage composting is worthwhile,”

Ms Menzies said. “Council staff met Ms Baxter in 2019 and loved the idea of what she was trying to produce as many residents often contact us for help because they’ve tried composting but it didn’t work or it smelt. “Council is looking at ways to reduce organic waste going into landfill, so the more homes, schools, businesses and community groups we can get composting, the better. “We look forward to see whether this device proves a success for our schools and community gardens in the trial.”

Strata changes to be explained at free seminar Sunshine Coast unit owners will have a chance to learn more about changes to Queensland strata regulations and developments with online voting technology at a free education seminar hosted by Smart Strata and Archers the Strata Professionals. Archers the Strata Professionals Partner, Grant Mifsud, said the seminar at Maroochy RSL on Saturday, October 10, will outline how strata communities have changed due to the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Mifsud, who will moderate the session, said the seminar will feature a live and interactive online meeting demonstration to educate unit owners on how to navigate and use strata meeting technology which is now upon us. “The demonstration meeting motions are designed to be informative and deal with hot strata topics including pets, parking and committee elections with a leading strata law expert in attendance to answer audience questions during the session,” he said.

“The need to adopt technology such as video conferencing and online voting has been accelerated by COVID-19 physical distancing requirements. “The use of electronic voting technology as the new normal is also in anticipation of long-awaited legislative changes to modernise strata laws in Queensland. Unit owners are invited to register and join the seminar either in person or online for the live online meeting demonstration utilising the latest

electronic voting technology presented by StrataVote. “An open forum will follow the demonstration and there will also be local suppliers on hand for the networking sessions to keep unit owners up to date with the latest strata product and service innovations.” The seminar will be held from 9am-12pm on Saturday, October 10, at the Maroochy RSL and attendees are required to register online via www.smartstrata.com

Breast Cancer Awareness MONTH

BreastScreen in Cooroy Breast cancer will affect one in seven Queensland women, so there is a fair chance you know a friend or relative who has had it. Finding breast cancer early can increase treatment options and save lives. A breast screen can detect cancer early, before a woman or her doctor can feel anything, and regular breast screening is the most effective way to reduce deaths from breast cancer. Gillian Duffy, Health Promotion Officer at BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast said: “It is really important that during the COVID pandemic, women don’t put off having their regular breast screen or any other health checks.” To make it easy for women to access high quality breast cancer screening, BreastScreen Queensland mobile service will visit Cooroy from 19 October to 6 November 2020. “During Breast Cancer Awareness month, we will be taking our free mobile service to three locations across the Sunshine Coast including Cooroy, to make it easier for women in the hinterland areas,” Ms Duffy said. BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast also has services at Nambour, Caloundra, Caboolture, Maroochydore, Noosa and Gympie. Currently only 56 per cent of women aged 50-74 on the Sunshine Coast have a regular breast screen every two years.

Grant Street.

Grant Street, Noosa Junction In an industry known for its loud and colourful characters, Alfred Grant was a notable exception, the quiet achiever of real estate development during its “white shoe” boom years of the 1960s and ‘70s. Grant is remembered in Noosa through the naming of a street that leads from busy Noosa Junction into a quiet and leafy residential enclave, which is appropriate for the quiet bloke whose development of the Junction as a shopping precinct is one of the lesser known achievements in a remarkable career. Born to a farming family in the Tweed Valley of NSW in 1917, Alfred Frank Gallard Grant started dealing in cattle aged 17, and by 21 had 70 dairy cows, leased a property on the Tweed River and hired a manager to run his farming enterprise, using the profits to put himself through an accounting course in Melbourne, where he worked as a clerk in an accounting firm and a stock and station agency before enlisting in the AIF at the outbreak of World War II and serving with distinction in the Middle East and the Pacific. In 1949 he started selling real estate and was soon appointed by his firm as state manager for Queensland. Grant was quick to pick up on the tempo of the times, and in 1955 he started out on his own to develop coastal properties in Queensland and northern New South Wales. Visits to Florida and Hawaii convinced him that the Gold Coast offered excellent opportunities for canal and country club developments, and he pioneered man-made waterway estates in south-east Queensland. In 1961 Grant began work on an estate he named Kawana Waters, on low-lying coastal land between Caloundra and Mooloolaba, but poor drainage and buyer resistance to the flat terrain and inadequate services caused him fi-

nancial headaches he’d never experienced on the Gold Coast. When he later looked at smaller developments further north at Noosa, he decided to underpin them with a well-planned commercial services centre. That’s not quite the way older residents might remember the haphazard early days of the Junction, but Grant would be well pleased with its current vision, combining amenity with style. Having put together a substantial fortune from agricultural businesses and property development, in middle age Grant concentrated on horse-racing and breeding. His horse Intrepid Clipper won the Queensland Derby in 1969, and he later built up Gainsborough Lodge, near Toowoomba, into a major breeding property, which by 1974 was the largest and best-equipped stud in the Southern Hemisphere. A second stud, Wellcamp, followed and Grant was acknowledged as Australia’s leading breeder. By the 1970s, Alfred Grant Pty Ltd was the biggest family-owned real estate company in Queensland, but Alfred had his eye off the ball and soon got into strife. In 1975 the development rights for the troubled Kawana Waters estate were sold, and in 1977 Grant declared himself bankrupt. The stud was liquidated and a dispersal sale of the thoroughbred stock followed. Alfred Grant returned to the family farm in the Tweed Valley and died in Brisbane in 1983. By all accounts, Alfred Grant was a doer not a talker, for the most part an astute businessman but also a dreamer, and sometimes the dreams brought him undone.

Crowdfunding goal met By Abbey Cannan A Noosa start-up on a mission to eradicate the 23 million plastic cleaning products that enter our ocean every year has reached its crowdfunding target in under six weeks. Having raised $55,000 to allow them to get Pleasant State off the ground, founders Sian Murray and Ami Bateman can now put their bespoke glass and silicone bottles into production alongside product, so they can be in homes by December this year. Pleasant State is Australia’s first-ever cleaning product in a ‘just add water’ format. Sian said their team was overwhelmed by the support from over 900 Australian’s for their crowdfunding campaign. “It has confirmed that Australian’s are seeking effective, non-toxic and single-use plastic free cleaning solutions, and that our customers are demanding more from the brands that they buy from,” she said. “We’re super motivated to keep progressing now.” Ami said it was now full steam ahead for their production process. “We’ve now given the green light on our beautiful glass and silicone bottles, ingredients and our supply agreement with our Queensland based bar manufacturer,” she said. “It’s very exciting to be able to support local businesses and employment during such uncertain economic times. “We feel a sense of responsibility to make Pleasant State successful to play a role in supporting a healthy Australian economy.” Ami said the Pleasant State team and their partners were working around the clock to get their just-add-water cleaning solutions into customers’ homes in December 2020. “While everything looks to be on track, the Covid situation still presents a lot of uncertainty in supply chains,” she said. “We’re committed to transparently communicating with our customers, so if these timeframes change for any reason they’ll be the first to know.”

Research finds new way to help frail older people A $6.9 million global research project involving USC as the only Australian partner has developed a new monitoring and intervention system to slow or even reverse the progression of frailty among older adults. USC neuropsychology researcher Associate Professor Mathew Summers said the preliminary findings were exciting because they indicated that the IT-based tailored health care platform and program could help older adults live in their homes longer. The world-first approach is called MyAHA (My Active and Healthy Ageing). Dr Summers was awarded $496,000 by the National Health and Medical Research Council towards the four-year European Union Horizon 2020 consortium grant project that has just been completed. The Sunshine Coast was the only Australian site for the research, which recruited more than 40 older people between Noosa, Caloundra and the hinterland for an 18-month trial. Dr Summers was one of the project’s principal investigators, alongside colleagues from 16 other universities and private institutions across Europe and Asia. “This new IT-based platform is designed to identify and monitor older adults exhibiting early stages of frailty, then develop individually-tailored interventions that can slow the progression of frailty or even reverse it back to normal function,” he said. “We looked at all types of physical, cognitive and social frailty, such as problems with mental processing and memory, isolation and loneliness, depression and anxiety, nutrition and sleep.” More than 250 volunteers worldwide participated in the project (www.activeageing. unito.it). They were split into two groups, with half testing the system and half acting as a control group. Data from wristband sensors that tracked

physical activity and from surveys of participants’ cognitive health, nutrition and moods was fed into a web-based platform and analysed for changes over time. “We then developed algorithms to automatically identify patterns of change that indicated potential clinical changes in function,” Dr Summers said. “For each pattern, we prescribed interventions targeted towards those weaker areas.” Researchers visited participants individually in their homes and as groups in the community to assess and intervene. “While the results of the research are currently under peer review for publication, we can say we found a maintenance and slight improvement in quality of life for older people who received the intervention, and a significant decline in quality of life for the control group.” Dr Summers said the system supported older people staying in their own homes for longer. “When an older person lives at home, the biggest risk is a fall and the mostly likely trigger is their own physical frailty,” he said. “By targeting early indicators and halting or reversing the progression of frailty, the ongoing benefit is to reduce their risk of falls and increase their likelihood of living at home for longer period of time with minimal support.” Dr Summers said USC’s work within such a large international consortium gave it access to advanced technologies and leading researchers, as well as multilingual platforms for migrants. “The next step is to gain investment from companies to pursue commercialisation, to make the platform available more widely,” he said.

Efforts to protect coastal native wildlife will be ramped up again this spring, with a coastal fox control program starting up again. Sunshine Coast Council, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Coolum and North Shore Coast Care and Noosa Council are working together to carry out the coastal fox control program between October 9 and November 27, 2020. The program is conducted in coastal areas from the Maroochy River to Peregian Beach. Environment Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said the program had been running for six years, with extremely positive results, so it was imperative that we continued the good work. “Protecting our endangered and threatened species is the reason we run the coastal fox control program,” Cr Suarez said. “We appreciate the support our community has given this program in the past and with their ongoing support, we can continue to ensure the longevity and security of native species.” The program is designed to impact fox populations at a time when they were particularly active and reduce fox predation on vulnerable populations of native species, such as water mice, Eastern ground parrots, and endangered green and loggerhead turtles at the egg and hatchling stage. The European red fox is a restricted pest under the Queensland Government Biosecurity Act 2014. Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, managing biosecurity, which includes invasive animals and plants, is a key responsibility of council and every Sunshine Coast resident. Residents living near the program areas will be notified and are asked to ensure their pets do not roam. Areas included in the control program will be clearly identified by warning signs at all entrances. If you spot a suspected fox den in the program area, report it to council on 5475 7272.

In “Pea in a Haystack”, they present ﬂamboyant clocks, get to a microwave in as few steps as possible, propel a pea onto a red carpet and make snowmen. The bizarre assortment of activities concludes with a laugh-out-loud live challenge – balancing as many swedes on a Swede as possible.

ANH’S BRUSH WITH FAME ABC, 8pm

Michelle Payne’s story was told by director Rachel Griffiths and actress Teresa Palmer in Ride Like a Girl, but in the season final of this intimate interview series, the trailblazing jockey puts it in her own words. The youngest of 10 children in a racing family, Payne overcame loss and life-threatening injuries to achieve her childhood dream of becoming the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup, riding Prince of Penzance to victory in 2015. Archibald Prize finalist Anh Do (pictured with Payne) paints her portrait while discussing that journey and her bond with brother Stevie, capturing Payne’s drive and ambition but also her kind and gentle character.

Season eight of this divine crime drama wraps up tonight, but viewers need not worry – a ninth season is already on the cards for 2021. However, the residents of Kembleford might have cause for concern – there’s another mysterious death in their town. When a body is discovered in the grounds of a politician’s home, Inspector Mallory (Jack Deam) gives the case his signature level of care and attention – that is to say, none. Before long, Scotland Yard’s Chief Inspector Valentine (Hugo Speer) is on the case. He’s concerned about links to a murder eight years earlier and enlists Father Brown (Mark Williams, pictured) to help with his enquiries, much to Mallory’s chagrin

Mark Williams stars as the eponymous Father Brown.

Bob at the barricades, 2008.

Picture: SUPPLIED

Noosa councillors, class of ‘88.

Picture: COURTESY PICTURE NOOSA

Noosa’s legendary former mayors Noel Playford and Bob Abbot talk to PHIL JARRATT about success, failure, and the personal toll of political career.

Claiming Noosa back We were moving from the Noel era to the Bob era. Noel: In 1988 the council was broke, so I told them to forget about spending money, we had to pull our heads in and get it under control, which made the vision even more important. But you have to remember that not everything was my idea. At that point Bob had more experience than I did, so there were his ideas, and some of the others had good ideas too. When we were doing the strategic plan, we went out to every community and had sessions in their halls, and then reported back. Bob: We went out grass roots first and built it from there. It was interesting because we did the strategic plan in ’96 and we sent it to government six weeks before the ’97 election, and we had candidates standing in front of the council chambers tearing it up. That was the context. Noel had had enough and was running only as a councillor, and there were three of us from the strategic plan subcommittee in the mayoral race - me, Vivien Griffin and Phil Blakeney. That was the order it finished in too, I won with 53 percent, but Vivienne had 36 percent, so the strategic plan had wide community support, and yet these candidates were

there tearing it up! That gave us the impetus to move forward. Noel, you’d had enough of the top job? Yes, and I didn’t intend to run as a councillor either, but after years of having a stable council through successive elections since 1988, by ’97 quite a few councillors had decided to give it away, and we knew Bob was going to be mayor, and that he’d have no experienced support. Bob, now you’re the boss - are you going to do things differently? Bob: My management style was very different in that Noel led with knowledge from the front, and I didn’t have that. I failed Grade 10 and I found out later in life that I’m fairly severely dyslexic. A lot of stuff I did by rote or by feel, and I’d learnt to trust myself. I led from the middle in the sense that I surrounded myself by people who were smarter than I was. I can remember after about a week as mayor walking into CEO Bruce Davidson’s office and saying, I know absolutely bloody nothing about what I’ve got to do! Bruce gave me a copy of Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Successful People and told me to read it over the weekend and we’d try again on Monday. We did and

a swimming pool. Noel was dead against that because he always swam in the river (laughs), and so did I, but the moment we gave them a pool, things began to happen. We started to do more things like that, including a community grants program. And I could negotiate with the developers. It was easier for me than it was in Noel’s era, because back then we were clashing with them. Now the rules were in place, so we could talk. When amalgamation reared its ugly head in 2007, Bob, you were mayor but Noel had retired. Then suddenly you were shoulder to shoulder at the barricades. Bob: There’s two places you don’t want Noel Playford and me. One is shoulder to shoulder, the other is back to back. And if we’re back to back, you’re in trouble. (Laughs) But we lost that fight. I think that may have been the toughest battle I ever fought. I ended up with a serious kidney infection and I was in hospital for eight days while all this stuff was going on. On the ninth day the big protest march in Brisbane was on. I told the doctor I was going and he argued, but on the morning a car came to pick me up and I went.

YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED WITH OUR CATCH

it worked really well. I now had a real understanding of what my needs were and how I was going to manage this process and succeed. Noel: Bob likes people to think he hasn’t got much brain power, but I think what he just said shows that’s not the case. In ’88 we’d had a plan and we’d essentially delivered on it. The community had gone from calling us watermelons to understanding that we had a formal plan in place and they were generally happy with it. But now I knew that we needed a new narrative to replace environment versus development. It had to be more nuanced than that, and I knew that we had to start anew, and I just didn’t have the oomph for it. That’s when you have to let it go, and Bob started with fire in the belly. Okay Bob, so what is this new narrative? Bob: Eventually it became about sustainability, as in how do you sustain this vision we have of Noosa? And the message to me was pretty clear. A protected environment was no good to you unless the economy was in good condition too, and you couldn’t guarantee that if the population was turning over every few years, so we had to create a community that attracted people to stay and raise a family, so we gave them

Bob and Noel. years, but by the last year of the first term I knew I couldn’t. I was getting death threats slipped under my door at night. The stress was enormous, and the staff down there hated what I was doing. To me it was all about sustainability, putting that Noosa ethos into the whole region to protect it long-term. I don’t want to go over the de-amalgamation campaign too much, but let’s get to 2014. The battle has been won, it’s time to get the band back together, right? Bob: Well, before we go there I have to say one thing, because if I don’t others will. When I was mayor of Sunshine Coast, I wouldn’t come out and defend the de-amalgamation campaign on a matter of principle. The people of Maroochydore and Caloundra had strongly supported me to run a combined council and I couldn’t be seen to divide it. Once I got out, it was different. Noel: I never expected Bob to say anything while he was in power. How could he? But in 2012 Campbell Newman gave us his support and said that if elected he’d put it to a vote, and that was when it was appropriate for Bob to have a say.

Noosa Trailer Hire A wide range of quality, well maintained trailers for hire at our everyday low rates.

Who knew Campbell Newman would be on our side? Noel: There was no point going to Labor. They did it, so they weren’t going to undo it! But Newman became opposition leader and he came up and sat around the table. Campbell was making the right noises but I was down the other end of the table and I said, that’s fine for you to say, but you’d promise anything at this stage. He looked at me and said, I’m a man of my word. Then I knew we had him, because he’s a military guy, his word is his bond. As long as he got elected, we were right. And we walked him out of the office and straight into a press conference. Noosa Council is back and you both stand again, Noel as mayor, Bob as councillor who becomes deputy mayor. Did you feel that short term worked the way you’d expected? Noel: I regret that I got myself tied up in detail. Work had been done to set up the structure again, but it was a nightmare. I said to the councillors, I’m going to have my hands full getting this organisation running functionally, you’re going to have to do the community stuff. But too much attention to detail is one

of my failings, and I would have been better off giving other people more power in fixing the organisation. Bob and I were intending to only be there for two years, to get it set up, but I could have done that better. Bob: We were there for a specific reason. I knew he’d bury his head in the detail and I’d have to explain things to the new councillors. But without wanting to sound arrogant, I felt I owed it to the community to be there. Noel: That’s the only reason I was there too, but we didn’t make the plan well enough over that two years, and I think that’s still being felt today. If you don’t have the vision you become a community services deliverer, and that’s all. I’ve been looking at the current corporate plan point by point, and I don’t see a vision or the goal. Bob: And that’s probably a good note to finish on. We’ve looked at the time before Noel and I were involved, and now we’re looking at the time after our involvement. We’re two very different characters and we do things differently, but undeniably powerful when we’re pulling in the same direction.

Noel: We’re all ready to march to Parliament House, and then royalty shows up in this chauffeur-driven car! Bob gets out, addresses his faithful subjects, then hops back in the car and goes. Bob: Well, I stirred them all up as the march took off, and as it was finishing I showed up and started stirring them up again! But by the time I got back to Noosa I was buggered. Bob, I’ve never understood how you could be part of that fight, put your health on the line for it, then turn around and run for mayor of the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Bob: I thought long and hard about it. I understood people saying that I’d gone to the dark side, but what I understood about myself was that I’m like Noel - I don’t like giving up. There was only one way to be sure that everything we’d fought for was protected, and that was to have somebody in the top job. I got 73 percent of the vote but I copped it from quite a few people. How was your term as mayor of the Sunny Coast? Bob: It nearly killed me. I was going to do eight

Holden’s continue to roar By Margaret Maccoll A one-of-a-kind Holden created and owned by Peter Brock was among a range of 120 classic cars that drew an enthusiastic group of visitors to the Noosa Sports Complex on Sunday for Noosa Beach Classic Car Club’s 32nd show. The first spectator event for the club since Covid-restrictions featured Holdens pre-1989 and was open to 500 guests at any one time under Noosa Council event requirements. Spokeswoman Kate Rider said the not-forprofit club raised funds on the day for the Tewantin Noosa Parkinsons support group and prostate cancer and by the end of the day 1000 visitors had rotated through the gates. On the day the Best Car in the Show award was presented to Juan Kudnig for his 1968 Holden GTS Monaro while Filip Pilitano was awarded Marque of the Show for his 1959 Holden FC Special. Among the classic car collection were two outstanding entries from major sponsor, Bowden’s. Dan Bowden brought along his 1976 Sandman, an Australian icon that attracts a lot of attention for the owner. Dan said he discovered the car in Toowoomba and brought it back to pristine condition. Peter Bowden proudly displayed his 1984 Holden that was bought fresh off the assembly line by Peter Brock without an engine and gear box. Brock installed a modified engine and gear box into the car, one of the few registered to him. Peter said Brock wanted Holden to market his design as the next Monaro. “They said you’ll never market it. It should have gone into production. It’s the best car never to go into production for Australia,“ Peter said. Peter bought the car from a Holden dealer swapping him two for the one prized possession. Alan Kenzler brought along the 1957 FE Holden, a car that has spent its life in Cooroy and one he has owned for the past 40 years. It is one of five Holdens he maintains at his Cooroy home. His collection includes a 1955 FJ ute, 1964 EH sedan, 1967 HD sedan and a 2002 Commodore, but around town he drives a Toyota Corolla and travels in his 1992 Toyota camper van.John Boulton has been a regular racer on the Noosa Hill Climb in his 1970 LC GTR Holden since buying the car about 15 years ago. “I was sitting in a shed having a beer with a mate and he had to just get rid of it,“ he said. The old racer originally came from New Zealand and continues to travel well. “The car goes good, the driver is pretty ordinary,“ he said. John will join other racers at the club’s Summer Noosa Hill Climb to be held on November 14 and 15. For more information visit www.noosacarclub.com.au or Facebook.

Youths take on projects By Margaret Maccoll The Noosa Environmental Education Hub is creating the next generation of environmental custodians by teaching local students about the ecosystems that make up the Noosa Biosphere, co-directors of the hub told guests at Noosa Parks Association’s Friday Forum last week. Co-directors Annika Patrick, Di Seels and Dalia Mikhail work in partnership with local environmental groups to deliver meaningful curriculum extension programs that provide hands-on learning, in support of the environment. The hub began with NPA seed-funding, providing an array of programs that are linked to the Australian Curriculum and will continue to deliver their programs to schools for fees. An array of programs have been created to suit students of different ages and co-directors say the students results have been outstanding.

At Sunshine Beach State School the Year 2 students have been involved in creating a glossy black cockatoo farm on native bushland on the school grounds. Dahlia said the students created a dam and planted feed trees for the birds and when the students are in Year 5 and 6 they will be able to see the glossies coming to feed, she said. In a program run in collaboration with Slow Food Noosa Sunshine Beach State High School students not only learnt more about food preparation, healthy eating and growing micro-greens they established their own micro-greens business. “The kids just blossom when they get out and do these things,” Dahlia said. In another program at SBSH another group of students are linking with Noosa Landcare to plant more than 60 koala feed trees on degraded farmland and in that way are contributing to the koala corridor.

“The kids have planted, staked, named them and sung songs while planting,” Di said. “Kids understand they are doing something that is for a greater good.” At Montessori students met with Kabi Kabi Elder Uncle Brian Warner for a discussion on colonisation, looking at whether it was right for Europeans to come in and take their lands. “To reflect on what to do in the future they decided it was not the best approach but they were happy to be here and we would be able to learn from tech other,” Di said. “It opens up the children’s minds to issues,” Di said. Achieving outcomes are an important aim of the program. One program has encouraged students to learn more about bushfires and as a result of their education aims to develop a bushfire kit for schools.A Year 10 student told NPA guests how the students had gained knowledge about

fire from Indigenous guests and firefighters and conducted their own research to learn more about the use of cool burns, the significance of fuel load and the impact bushfire has on the community. She said she also learnt the greatest cause of bushfire was arson and adolescents were responsible in about half the cases. The Noosa EEhub has also developed the Noosa Youth Advocacy Group as a means of providing an opportunity for young peoples voices to be heard by Noosa Council on the issues that mean most to them.

New police infrastructure for the Sunshine Coast Historic investments in policing will see extra police officers and major new police facilities for the Sunshine Coast. A minimum of 150 extra police officers will be deployed to the new North Coast Policing Region which includes the Sunshine Coast. In parallel with the government’s historic investment in police resources, a $300 million QPS Capital Works Program will deliver new police facilities on the Sunshine Coast. It is full-steam ahead with the awarding of a $10 million construction contract to local Sunshine Coast builder BBN Constructions for a new police facility at Nambour.

In addition, a new $9 million police facility will be constructed at Caloundra South and a $4 million police facility will be constructed at Cooroy. These projects come on top of the new police facilities delivered by the Palaszczuk Government at Coolum, Kingaroy, Nanango, Kilcoy, Maleny and Mooloolaba. Police Minister Mark Ryan said the historic investment in police resourcing combined with a significant Capital Works program would achieve two important objectives. “More police and new infrastructure are an investment in enhanced community safety for the Sunshine Coast.

“And those investments will also support jobs and the economy as we recover from the global pandemic.” Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers said the Palaszczuk Government’s announcements were exactly what the QPU has been asking for in terms of commitments from politicians. “I have never in my 31 years as a police officer ever seen a commitment of increasing the QPS by such a huge amount of more than 2,000 staff and I thank the government for this commitment.” “The biggest thing I have always said is that policing commitments must be fully

funded. Police have been badly burnt by previous sneaky governments who made commitments and didn’t fund them properly so I acknowledge the government who are the only ones who have properly funded and costed their commitment today.” “1,450 new additional police and another 575 civilians to work in roles such as watch houses, communications centres and prosecutions means we can speed up the delivery of frontline services by supporting those police with badly needed assistance as well. The reality is this government listens to the QPU and has works with us to deliver quality outcomes for the safety of all Queenslanders,” Mr Leavers said.

Bridge done, toilets loom Well, as we all collectively breathe a sigh of relief, none more so than the immediate residents, it is my absolute pleasure to announce that the Orealla Crescent Bridge at Sunrise Beach is now complete and the David Low Way has re-opened to through traffic. I would personally like to thank the residents for the cooperation, support and patience and I commend our Infrastructure Department here at Council for their ongoing hard work and diligence in ensuring that the project was delivered on schedule. Many of you may be aware that the Lions Park at Noosa Heads was opened to parking over the September school holidays. Councillors voted to re-open the park during the school holidays to support our local businesses, residents and visitors through additional parking means. We have also written to the State Government to use the Lions Pak to provide paid car-parking during long weekends and further holiday periods while the Covid-19 health directive is in place. This will help to accommodate extra drive-in visitors as a result of the Covid-19 travel restrictions and border closures. It was terrific to be at the Peregian Digital Hub on September 30 to welcome The Honourable David Littleproud MP Minister for Agri-

culture, Drought and Emergency Management along with our Federal member Llew O’Brien MP in recognition of the $700,000 received in Federal funding for our FireTech projects and stakeholders. The Hub’s FireTech Connect is an initiative that is focused on the use of new technology to build regional communities’ bushfire resilience. Launce in March 2020, the FireTech Connect program is made up of over 20 companies developing breakthrough technology solutions to predict, detect, fight, manage and recover from catastrophic bushfires. Noosa is emerging as a national centre of excellence for FireTech. Fire mitigation has never been more critical and we are so grateful to the Federal Government for their ongoing support in this area. Finally, to finish with the very boring but critical topic of public toilet facilities, Council are busily renovating a range of public amenities across the Shire. This is thanks to the $220,000.00 initiative between Noosa Council and the Queensland’s Governments Unite and Recover Program. We’re more than mid-way through the project, which includes various upgrades to toilet blocks right across the Shirefrom Boreen Point to Sunshine Beach. Grass roots spending at its best. Until next month, stay safe, Clare.

By Judy Greaves The Hastings Street resident Albino bush turkey has built a nest at the end of the second Roundabout in Hastings Street. I was walking past last night and witnesses this very rare event. The White Bush Turkey was fluffing around in the nest when a female ar-

rived and after a bit of a scuffle the female scratched out a big hole to lay her eggs. To see something like this happen right in the middle of Hastings Street was truly wonderful. Many of the Locals have been following the Albino Turkey since it was a small chick and its lovely to see it has managed to survive and go onto fatherhood. Friday, 9 October, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 37

OPINION

The Joys Of The Hustings Politics is a fascinating realm, no more so than at election time, and the lead in to October 31 has been interesting to say the very least! We kicked off with some confusing election tokenism, which left me scratching my head. After securing funding to commence Stage 1 of Beckmans Road, which is the Beckmans/ Cooroy Noosa Rd roundabout, we have had one party candidate stating nothing had been secured, and another party candidate saying they had done the work for us to achieve this. Confused? Don’t be. Welcome to the QLD State Election 2020!! In what can appear to be an exercise in keeping constituents informed, residents across Queensland have once again received bulk mail outs from incumbent MP’s and party candidates which may include postal vote application forms and pre-paid envelopes. This cost of bulk mail is funded by the taxpayer through the MP’s Electorate and Communication Allowances. Right or wrong? According to the ECQ, it’s standard practice. When we looked into how to best assist residents in a COVID election whilst sending out the Annual Connect and Survey, there were options. To include the postal vote applications forms or provide a link direct to the ECQ. I chose the link to save paper wastage (how many would get thrown out?) and provided our contact number for those who may not be online or had any issues to prevent a replication of the frustrations experienced in March. We could then lodge their application direct online for them and have done so already for many. However what I did not realise, until complaints came in, including requests as to why I had not sent the forms and the pre-paid envelopes, was that this, a long-standing practice, has another side unknown to many, including myself! The reply-paid envelope enclosed with these mailouts is not addressed to the Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ), but to party PO Box. Apparently, it is then processed by the political party that funded and sent it, before being forwarded to the ECQ for lodgement. Why? To get your details so that you can be targeted with How-To-Votes. Misleading? Yes. Legal? Yes! Have we been hoodwinked all these years? As an MP and fellow ‘Noosan’, I take very seriously your rights to privacy, and knowing what you sign up for. This is about trust. When you seek assistance from our office, your details are captured when we are resolving an issue for you and is not used for anything else. Even when you subscribe to our newsletter, I would not use your email to send out anything else, including requests for votes. However, apparently that is legal as well. Well if all that is ‘legal’ what is illegal? Hmm ... yes ‘corflute waving’! I know it works for pizzas, but for grabbing votes? Apparently yes, otherwise why would you do it? Then there is the ‘too early’ corflutes, ‘wrong position’ corflutes, and font size of authorisation on corflutes. But incumbents can spend taxpayer dollars on billboard signs from the Electorate Office allowance (and no, I do not do, nor any sponsorship signage). Yes, there is work to do as what is ‘legal’ really should join the ‘corflute waving (illegal)! So as we head into the ‘hustings’, thank you everyone for helping me demonstrate how we can lead the way with good behaviours at election time. Even though in the early days there was ruckussing on Facebook, some wrangling over who was telling on who, and yes, ‘tokenism’, the mood on the streets is good so let’s keep it up! Happy 2020 Elections everyone. To fellow candidates and your supporters alike, I look forward to seeing you on the hustings, in the booths, and hopefully along the way or afterwards, for a well-deserved coldy. This to wash down laughs and stories on the classic moments of a COVID safe campaign. And to share why we need to keep Noosa Independent. Noosa MP Sandy Bolton

New wave of reef water quality projects for Mary River catchment Clean water and efficient farms are the focus of new projects announced by Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud and Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien under the Liberals and Nationals Government’s Reef Trust Partnership with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. The $9.4 million Mary River Recovery Project will reduce up to 26,000 tonnes of sediment, nitrogen and pesticide running off into the Reef every year, while another 22 projects have been selected to unlock innovations to improve water quality. Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien said the projects underlined an ongoing commitment to innovation and on-ground actions that protect the Reef and Wide Bay’s unspoilt natural environment. “Landholders and farmers in the Mary when it’s due and criticises when it’s needed. I agree totally with his campaign to get affordable wine on Noosa wine lists. When I go to an eatery and the list prices start at $40 or $50 I see red (pun). The meal starts off badly when I’m asked to pay 200 per cent and more on top of typical store retail. I’d rather drink water (tap, not mineral). The inclusion of a house wine in 500 ml carafes would move a lot of wine for owners rather than leaving overpriced booze to gather dust in their cellars. Martin Field Sunrise Beach

Abortion An Option In reply to Jeffrey Eacersall (2/10/20), Queensland women are able to access a safe and legal abortion because of the law passed last year, otherwise they would have to undergo the dangers of a backstreet abortionist. Women usually only have such a procedure when they are not in a position to adequately care for a child for many years to come. It is

River catchment know the land better than anyone and are already working hard to improve land management practices,” Mr O’Brien said. “This program will reduce harmful pesticide run-off, improve waterway health, and stop 26,000 tonnes of sediment at its source every year in the Wide Bay area, and it won’t just help the water quality in the Reef, it will also help our local economies, which have been hit hard by COVID. “Clean water is crucial to the ongoing health of the Reef and also to the threatened species in the Mary River catchment, reef ecosystems and tourism, which will be essential to our region’s economic recovery from COVID-19.” Projects through the program will include large-scale restoration of eroding riverine areas, lower cost interventions to stabilise erosive areas, and revegetation. particularly sad when young teen-age girls become pregnant and their.education often stops, affecting their whole future life. They definitely do not have the skills to care for another human being. An abortion is a much better option. Anti-abortionists do not seem to think of the fate of unwanted babies, many of them going on to have mental and depressive illnesses later in life or becoming inter-generational welfare recipients. No baby should be born who is not wanted, cared for and loved.

The program is being managed by a consortium led by the Burnett Mary Regional Group and includes the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee, Landcare Groups and Alluvium Consulting Australia. Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said the program would provide a boost to catchment health and farm productivity. “The program will support farmers and landholders from key catchments in the Mary River catchment so they can carry out revegetation, fencing and gully repair activities in like with best practice land management,” Minister Littleproud said. “This will support the Reef to maintain its world-renowned splendour while creating jobs, economic stimulus and reinvigorating local communities.”

Enjoy a soiree at Moon Mountain By Abbey Cannan Perched among the rolling green hills of Eumundi is a beautiful property that comes with an incredible story. The 75 acres property has become a sanctuary to change the fate of several brumbies who now have the freedom to roam the grounds with no fences. What is amazing is that as the owners are lovers of art, they support Noosa Open Studios and have allowed them to create a special ’Moon Mountain Soiree’ to celebrate this year’s 10-day Art Trail event. Of course, there will be plenty of art to see during the twilight hours and Open Studios plan to stir your senses more with food, drinks, music. If you are a lover of sundowners with spectacular views, slow foods, music, and socializing, this is an opportunity to experience it all on Saturday 10 October from 4pm to 6pm, at a beautiful award-winning property in the Eumundi hills - Moon Mountain. Tickets are $75 (Noosa Open Studios artists and members $65) and include a Slow Food Flavours of Noosa epicurean delights picnic box (vegetarian available) by Ohana and a glass of Tyrrells Moon Mountain on arrival.You can experience an audience with Woodford Folk Festival’s founder Bill Hauritz, Adiamus String Quartet, Australian wearable art display, craft beers, spirits, wine and mead. While taking in all of that, you can wander through the grounds of this multi-design winning property that hosts carefully curated sculptures by Nick Warfield and see the unveiling his new work “The Two Sides of Bob Hawke” during the event.

This event is only a slice of what visitors to Noosa Open Studios Art Trail will experience as they undertake road trips to engage with a record 98 artists and galleries over ten days from 9 to 18 October. Noosa Open Studios president Trevor Purvis said this made the Noosa Open Studios art trail the second largest art trail in Australia after only five years in operation. “Our new website and already printed and distributed 100 page artist trail guide will help visitors to the Noosa district to plan their preferred artist visits throughout Noosa and the Hinterland,“ he said. “We recommend that you start your trip at the historic Wallace House in Noosaville, where you can collect your guide and view an exhibition showing one example piece from every artist on the trail.

“The volunteers at Wallace House can provide you with refreshments and advise you on your tailored road trip.“ The Noosa Open Studios Art Trail is the only major cultural event to be held in the Noosa community this year. “We hope that the revitalised, enthusiastic drive market will bring regional visitors flooding in to be part of this year’s open studios ten day event,“ Trevor said. Currently, the Noosa Open Studios Art Trail regular supporters are Noosa Regional Council, and Tourism Noosa, with a very generous sponsorship from Hinternoosa Real Estate, and more recently Lynn and Ron Scott from Moon Mountain Sanctuary.

Renowned artist joins Open Studios By Abbey Cannan A local artist who has held galleries around the world from Paris to Hong Kong will be featured in the upcoming Noosa Open Studios Art Trail event. From her own studio gallery in Noosa, Julia Carter’s paintings overflow with optimism, energy and a sense of celebration; such is her attitude to life. Enjoying an experimental approach, she captures the natural world in breath-taking form weaving together textures, symbols and vibrant colour. Julia said she was excited to be apart of the Noosa Open Studios Art Trail event for the fourth year in a row. “I will be welcoming visitors who can enjoy and relax in my light bright contemporary gallery space and experience the optimism energy and joy of my colourful paintings,” she said. “I will also be having a special Noosa Open Studios sale.” Born in England, Julia received an honours degree in sculpture and literature, from the University of Liverpool in 1989 specialising in decorative arts, alluding to the rich textural quality seen in her paintings today. “When I paint, I believe that the passion, the happiness and the joy I feel for life flow into my work and radiate outward to the viewer, making a positive connection wherever it is needed,” Julia said. “As a child I always enjoyed creativity, but it wasn’t until I began to paint following an accident that I realised it was something I wanted and needed to do forever.” In November 2010 Julia was invited to take part in the International Creative Energy Exhibition, Estense Castle, Ferrara, Italy. “My painting journey so far has been a wild adventure; exciting, demanding, exhausting and incredibly rewarding, with lots of surprises along the way,” Julia said. “From an international show in an Italian medieval castle, speaking on a New York panel of successful artists to having my work hung in the Foyer of the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane. 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 October, 2020

Sunshine Coast goes pink The Sunshine Coast’s two Stellarossa locations will turn pink from 12 October to 8 November, as the cafe chain raises funds for vital breast cancer research. Partnering with the PA Research Foundation’s Project Pink initiative, every customer who purchases a 12 ounce takeaway coffee in at Stellarossa stores in Sippy Downs or Coolum will receive a specially designed Project Pink takeaway cup, which will include a QR code allowing the customer the chance to win a year of free Stellarossa coffee. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Stellarossa customers will also be able to pay it forward by donating the cost of their next coffee towards novel breast cancer research at the PA Hospital campus. The two Sunshine Coast locations, alongside 21 other Stellarossa stores across Queensland will also have Project Pink table decals on tables with the same QR code and opportunity to win a year’s worth of coffee. As well as being able to donate directly in store, coffee lovers who scan the QR code will have the option of making a donation to the Project Pink campaign. PA Research Foundation’s Project Pink Campaign aims to raise awareness of breast cancer and funds for breast cancer research and 2020 marks the 6th year of Stellarossa supporting the initiative. “Each year Stellarossa stores go above and beyond to support Project Pink and we can’t thank them enough,” PA Research Foundation Chief Executive Officer Damian Topp said. “More than $57,000 for Project Pink has been raised by Stellarossa stores with every dollar going towards vital breast cancer research.” “Survival rates are increasing which is wonderful but with 20,000 women and 170 men across Australia predicted to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year alone, the need to drive lifesaving research is still as high as ever.” Stellarossa Sippy Downs store manager Jon Morse said the store was looking forward to turning pink and pitching in to save lives. “Breast cancer is a condition that affects so many of our valued customers either directly or indirectly and we are immensely proud to partner with the PA Research Foundation to raise funds for important research,” he said. “We know our customers across the region are just like us in wanting to make a difference and will be supportive of Project Pink through the whole four weeks.”

WHAT’S ON

NACA a hub for art trail 2020 has brought its fair share of challenges to Noosa Arts and Crafts Association (NACA) but its 430 members are still smiling and doing some outstanding work, some of which will be on show this month when Wallace House becomes a hub for Noosa Open Studios. “Like so many other associations, 2020 has proved to be more of a challenge than anticipated,“ spokeswoman Jan Bentley said. “In addition to all the COVID-19 restrictions, our heritage home was in need of infrastructure repairs which meant vacating the premises. Thankfully, Noosa Council were able to complete this renovation while the association was closed because of the pandemic.“ NACA has a new president Sandy Mackie who has embraced the role in these difficult times and dealt with the re-stumping of Wallace House as well as the pandemic. “Wallace House has required some major renovations by Noosa Council which involved re-stumping and a fresh new coat of paint which took around four months to complete. It was worth the wait as the House looks very smart in its new colours and new sign,“ Jan said. “The new stumps take up much less room then the original wooden stumps and with strategic reorganisation, has meant a much more efficient and light creative space on the ground floor for our ceramic group members. It has given their workspace a new lease on life and our members have been keen to get back to work.“

Members have filled this time under Covidrestrictions with a series of online exhibitions which have showcased their work in a new way. “The Exhibitions have been very popular and our latest Quilting Exhibition - Celebrating Quilting 2020 - attracted a record number of visits to our website,“ Jan said. Their last online exhibition for the year was from their Friday pastel group - Pastel Perfect - which launched last week. NACA will open its doors today until 18 October under stringent Covid-19 guidelines as a Hub for Noosa Open Studios. Weekends will see its pop-up caf¨¦ open which will be stocked and ready to serve light refreshments on its sunlit, airy verandah. “The 87 NOS participating artists have all brought one item of their work to Wallace House and these will all be displayed for visitors to see before they set off on one of the 5 art trails,“ Jan said. “NOS studio guides are available at Wallace House and our volunteers will be ready to give tips on the trails too.“ To top it off NACA has just received a State Government grant to help provide the installation of solar panels and air conditioning to Wallace House. “Our lovely home can be too warm in summer and rather cold in winter this installation will make our much-loved facility comfortable and safe all year round,“ Jan said.

Noosa Eat and Drink event grant to boost local tourism A new hospitality festival will receive $15,000 in funding to boost domestic visitors and support Noosa’s tourism sector following the summer’s bushfires and the Covid-19 pandemic. The 2020 Noosa Eat and Drink Celebration, to be launched in December, is one of ten projects sharing in $245,000 in funding under the $10 million Regional Tourism Bushfire Recovery Grants for projects and events in fire-affected regions in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

“This is a new event, based on the popular Eat and Drink Festival, that will be held across multiple venues and showcase Noosa’s amazing produce and renowned hospitality,” Mr O’Brien said. “Tourism is a significant economic driver for Noosa and creates thousands of jobs for local people, so supporting events like these will make a tangible difference to the region as we recover from the bushfires and the damage from COVID-19.” Mr O’Brien said the events, including a vintage motoring run, art trail, cycling event,

concert and food festival, would assist in boosting the number of domestic visitors to our area when the time was right. This is the second round of funding under the grants program, following $580,000 of funding announced for 24 events and projects in June. Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said with Covid-19 restrictions easing in some states it’s the right time to plan for events which will help to breathe life back into our regional tourism industry.

“These community events and projects are all about encouraging Australians back into our regions, to keep struggling tourism businesses alive by putting dollars back into the hands of local vendors and operators,” Minister Littleproud said. “Each year, Australia attracts close to nine million international arrivals and with no immediate return to international travel in sight, it’s more important than ever that Australians support regional tourism and enjoy the best of what we have in our own backyard.“ Friday, 9 October, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 41

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Cornering the market Trevor Pepys reviews Thomas Corner Eatery I probably don’t need to say this, but Trevor is a big fan of stating the bleeding obvious, and a worthy exponent of it to boot. When it comes to names for restaurants, he likes nothing better than a street address or the name of the chef or owner hanging on the shingle. No need for ick-making clever buggery like Thai Me Kangaroo Down or banal does hip, like the ubiquitous Margaritaville variations for anywhere that puts pineapple on a pizza, for God’s sake. So, Trev’s favourites include Number Six, Bill’s, Casa Anita, Hot Gillies, then cleverly Filligan’s, Palmer’s and Thomas Corner Eatery. It’s a good honest name for what it is, and it evokes some of my fave Brit establishments, like Kensington Wine Room, which tells you exactly what it is, and Jamie Oliver’s 15, which wasn’t the street number but the average age of their chefs, but you get my drift. So Thomas Corner immediately appealed as a BS-free zone when it opened a decade ago under the guidance of David Rayner, a true star in the tucker firmament, local and otherwise. Simple d¨¦cor, verging on industrial chic but tempered by a river view, classy but affordable menu, tailored to very casual thongs and tees folks who have companies listed on NASDAQ. But Trev, (who doesn’t, by the way, have a tech empire, currently) hadn’t visited in far too long when the other night he found himself caught short between legs too wobbly for the walk after a session at the Yottie, and a sudden Uber drought. Staggering to Thomas Street, bride in hand, he trotted gladly up the stairs of the Eatery and was offered a table that afforded the view of stars over the river but was far enough to keep the sea breeze off. Perfect. David Rayner once described his Eatery food philosophy as, “No froths, frills or fancy garnishes. Just food people love to eat.” No better way to put that to the test than to order off the bar bites casual menu, mixing some regional seafood with a local ham hock terrine, and smoothing out the wrinkles with a reliable Tar and Roses Pinot Grigio ($52, and here we go again, Martin Field, where’s the house option!) Tar and Roses is a decent quaffer, no problems there, just the price. But let’s get to the tucker, which was light and excellent, giving Trev pause for thought as to why he hadn’t been back in a long while. Needing to get home to monitor the latest Trump outrage and the Dan Andrews blunder of the day on the

Chic interior. late news, we ordered everything at once, and so it came. Coal-grilled king prawns with smoked paprika and mayo ($18), Fraser Island spanner crab with potato cake ($12) and ham hock terrine with garlic toast and grain mustard ($19). A quirky combo for sure, but this worked a treat and was plenty for two people. The

Picture: SUPPLIED prawns were probably the star dish, but jeez it was close. And the terrine fitted perfectly in the middle, before a perfectly-concocted crab hash brown. Yum. Of course, she who is never satisfied insisted on sharing a honeycomb chocolate mousse ($16), which was a lovely way to finish an evening, can’t think of anything I’d rather do. (And

Trevor’s remains.

if you’re old enough to remember, Trev sings it considerably better than Don Lane ever did.) The verdict: Always had a touch of class, and celebrating its 10th anniversary last month, this place is still delivering the goods. Just get a house wine option.

RECIPE

Eating well with easy rule The pleasure of our warmer months is undoubtedly marred by numerous “diets” and quick food hacks. Sunshine Coast nutritionist of forty years Cyndi O’Meara has developed a simple rule to follow for eating well - no matter what your size. The 2-2-4-4 habit. Cyndi said, “Few people have the time or interest to weigh food, count calories and calculate fat. If you consume quality foods that are free of chemicals in a fresh wholefood state, nutrients will be in abundance and your health

will reflect it. But to be sure, follow the 2-2-4-4 rule. It will become a habit, but this habit will change the way you eat.” “You’ll learn to really look at food, the ingredients and how much you’re eating. Time will ensure you nourish your body well and become aware of the food that fuels your body and mind.” Cyndi said, “How the 2-2-4-4 habit works, is that every day you eat two proteins, two starches, four fruits and four vegetables. This rule applies no matter your weight. The quan-

tity of each of course will vary dependant on your size and situation. The fact is, there is an easier way to measure and control your intake rather than counting calories or weighing foods.” “The idea is to have a variety within all these food groups. Proteins include meats, nuts, legumes, eggs, yoghurts. If you can, have a protein from each an animal and plant source. Starches are in all the grains, but also within foods of breads, pasta, biscuits. Fruit and vegetables are interchangeable, so long as

Try the formula, perhaps start by consuming four fruit portions a day then move onto four portions of vegetables. Take into consideration existing dietary requirements - a type 2 diabetic will require a change in starch portions for example. But do listen to your body and the health it needs. The 2-2-4-4 habit can become the positive change to eating for life.”

Those Dolphins triumph A gallant effort by the Ray White Noosa Dolphins saw the team come up trumps against the USC Barbarians on Saturday. The highly-anticipated grudge match provided fans yet another opportunity to see good-quality and exciting rugby. As both teams continue to pursue the premiership title, Noosa came out firing with early pressure to register first points through a Jordan Mayhew penalty goal. The Barbarians were dangerous, opening up a significant lead with two converted tries, before the brute strength of a Dolphins’ driving maul forced Adam Waring across the line. While the Barbarians carried a narrow 1410 lead into the second half it was short lived, as a try from Dolphins captain Brandon Mayhew etched Noosa into the lead. A penalty goal to the Barbarians closed the gap again until the Dolphins’ bench players came on to make their presence felt. Tries to Niko Waqanisau and Taylor Moffat, and a Jordan Mayhew penalty goal, followed - putting the Dolphins in good position for the run home. The unleashing of Dolphins powerhouse Gary McNeil capitalised on the fight for possession in the scrum but a determined USC kept the score alive at 30-24 with an unanticipated converted try. On the attack the unstoppable Brandon Mayhew found the try line again with trademark flair. Only minutes remained and a 13-point lead to the Dolphins saw the mission all but completed until a penalty try awarded to the Barbarians threatened to rewrite Noosa’s happy ending. Despite the Barbarians’ effort, the Dolphins claimed a 37-31 victory to remain in the top spot. Dolphins Coach Mick ‘Roxy’ Phelan credits his fullback Jordan Mayhew’s ability to counter the Barbarians kicking game and the team’s defensive lineouts forcing turnovers at crucial stages for influencing the win.

A flying try from A Grade captain Brandon Mayhew. Best on field, the three points and the Little Sister Noosa player of the match went to vice captain Wil Rogers, two points to Jordan May-

Dolphins juniors are well and truly back in full swing Noosa Dolphins Juniors Report Under 13s After a loss to the Barbarians three weeks ago, the under-13 Noosa Dolphins came home with flying colours, defeating the Barbarians 50-22 in a hot summer-like game in Gympie. After a well-earned break over the school holidays, the boys came back pulling out all the skills and moves they have learned this season to record a superb win. Alaska R scored five tries this game as well as taking home the Domino’s Pizza player of the match award. Josh was awarded the forward of the day and Ozie (Oscar) was awarded back of the day. Chanar, Josh and Clancy were our other try scores, scoring a try each. It was an exceptional game to watch. Under 12s By Toby Eller, under-12s hooker Noosa defeated Flinders 47-14. Flinders had Noosa on their heels in the first half due to their consecutive counter rucking which later resulted in a converted try giving them a two-point lead, the first team in the season to get the upper hand on Noosa’s under-12s. Noosa was quick to respond with a converted try heading into the sheds, giving them a 12-7 lead at half-time. Noosa was relentless in the second half and added two converted tries quickly but Flinders was quick to respond and score a converted try trying to close the gap. Noosa kept applying pressure in the breakdown and tackles. Both teams dealt out their fair share of hard hits but Noosa took home the victory with some set plays and long support plays. The Noosa Under 12s have won 10 games out of 10 rounds. Keep up the good work boys. Here’s to a Noosa Dolphins under-12s grand final. Domino’s Pizza player of the match went to Charlie Harmer.

Full time 24-7 to the Fins. There were some great pop-ups from Harrison Perkins and Alex Bingham, along with Gus Alty and Jacob Kain with some great steps and runs. We also saw some amazing runs by Flynn Clarke and Cody Monkley. Hamish Payne, Jack Shaw and Curtis Henderson had some great tackles and runs too. Harrison Perkins also scored two tries, one of them being an intercept. The Domino’s Pizza player of the match went to all the players for their hard work. Let’s get ready for next week to win Fins. Let’s do it! The under-10 Reds had a fantastic game on Saturday beating Maroochy 26-21. They started with a converted try to lead 7-0. Soon Maroochy came with a try to tie the scores up 7-7.

Unfortunately some bad luck with missing the goal made it a close two-pointer game, and a 2119 Maroochy lead. All the Reds needed was a try to win, and bam! From a lineout five metres out from the Maroochy try line, Harper Mundey came out of nowhere to score his first try of the season. Harper then converted his own amazing try to put the Reds up to a 26-21 lead. Bring on next week. Reds for the win! Under 9s The under-9 Dolphins faced the Barbarians at Maroochydore on Saturday. Sam opened up the scoring within minutes with a dashing 50-metre sprint down the side. A very physical Barbarians team matched the Dol-

phin speedsters try for try in the first half, but after a good half-time chat the determined Dolphins set out to take control of the game. The team was superb in defence, holding the Barbarians at bay from the try line. On the attack, Lewis found several opportunities to outsmart the opposition swinging the ball to our try scorers who were unstoppable and secured a big Dolphins victory in the end. Try scorers were Jack (4), George (3), William (2), Kellen (2), Cormac (1), Sam (1), Henry (1). They were ably assisted by Riley, who was awarded the Domino’s Pizza player of the match. Junior Presentations will be held this Saturday, 10 October at the Dolphins, from 4.30pm. The bar and canteen will be open, music on, and there will be a sausage sizzle provided for all players.

And now there are six... If there were eight green bottles hanging on the NRL wall last week, then only six remain after week one of the 2020 finals series. The Panthers showed they are contenders, not pretenders, taking the saloon passage through to the preliminary finals. Nathan Cleary displayed all of his talent and class to help guide the Panthers to a one-point win over the defending Premiers, the Roosters. The Panthers, who have not made a grand final appearance since their win back in 2003, are certainly giving themselves every chance in 2020. The Melbourne Storm gave Craig Bellamy the perfect birthday present when they outclassed a wounded Eels outfit to make yet another preliminary final. In an extraordinary run, Melbourne cemented its place in the round of four for the sixth straight season. But a knee injury to Cameron Munster late in the game against the Eels is not ideal, and the week off will be a blessing. Cronulla headed to the nation’s capital for its clash with the Raiders and, like many before them, came away empty-handed as Ricky Stuart’s Pommie collection of players stood tall alongside captain Jarrod Croker when it mattered. The win pitches the Green Machine into a 2019 GF rematch against the Roosters. On Sunday, the Bunnies had coach Wayne Bennett smiling from ear to ear (a rare sight indeed) as they continued their outstanding recent form and skipped into week two after running over the top of the Knights. While the Panthers and Storm will enjoy a week off, it will be all business for the four teams vying for the last two remaining preliminary finals positions. After week one of the finals, the Panthers still hold their position as favourites while Melbourne have leapfrogged the Roosters. Although no team outside the top four has won an NRL GF under this current system bookmakers are taking few chances with the Bunnies, who sit on the fourth line of betting. There is one certainty and that is that the busiest people at all six of the remaining clubs over the next two weeks are not going to be the senior coaches and their staff, or the players. The club doctors, physios and allied medical staff will all have their skates on, trying in an effort to get the fittest of the fit on the paddock. The rewards for our elite players are great but sometimes sport can be a tough task master. Just ask Mika Sivo and Blake Ferguson.

SEVENS SUPERSTAR A ROOSTER As the NRL finals kicked into full swing last weekend, it also heralded the much anticipated start of the short NRLW series. There was a good deal of local interest in the Roosters’ opening game against the Dragons as one of the super stars of women’s sport in Australia, Charlotte Caslick, made her rugby league debut for the Roosters. Caslick, who has very strong ties to the district, became an Australian household name during the Rio Olympics as she and her Rugby Sevens team mates claimed gold for Australia. Caslick said Covid-19 had forced the shutdown of International Rugby Sevens competition but provided her with the opportunity to make the temporary switch to Rugby League something she has always wanted to try. Caslick has previously been courted by the Brisbane Broncos and, although she is a Brisbane girl, said she had never been a Broncos fan - preferring to follow the Cowboys. She has been based in Sydney for several years and lives in the eastern suburbs so the decision to join the Roosters, she said, was “pretty easy”. Caslick said the winning culture of the Roosters club played a big part in her decision. She has also been fortunate to have NRL legend Cooper Cronk take her under his wing. “It was really cool and great to hear from him and get a little insight into how he sees 48 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 October, 2020

Champion Rugby Sevens player Charlotte Caslick (centre) debuted for the Roosters in Round 1 of the NRLW competition. There were plenty of eyes on Caslick, who admitted to nerves before the game. But her performance was eye-catching as the Roosters overcame the Dragons to open their account in 2020. the game and give me really simple advice,” Caslick said. She admits she had never before played competitive rugby league, but she was a star in athletics and a touch football player before being head hunted for the Sevens. “There’s obviously a lot to learn but the skills are pretty much the same, the catch pass, (and) the tackling is going to be the main difference for me,” Caslick said. Before the game she said she was up for the challenge, but was nervous. “I have very high expectations for myself, so I am really nervous, but excited,” she said. The Sevens star ,who is widely touted as the best female sevens player in the world and is a superb athlete, did not disappoint in her opening game. The coaching staff eased Caslick into the game, where she started in the centres before moving to a play making role midway through the game. The Roosters’ coach, Jamie Feeney, said Caslick worked with captain Corban McGregor “beautifully” to allow the playmaker to adjust to the game In an eye-catching performance, she helped the Roosters to an 18-4 win over the more fancied Dragons and finished the game with good stats, having 12 carries, 154 metres, one offload and one line break. Her next outing comes at Bank West on Saturday when the Roosters take on the Warriors. Caslick is not the only Sevens player to try her hand in the NRLW in 2020. The Roosters have also signed Grace Hamilton, and Ellia Green will play for the Warriors. Don’t expect this to be a permanent switch though. Charlotte Caslick is not lost to rugby Sevens. She has her eye firmly on the next Olympics and beyond. After all, what is better than one gold medal? Two of course.

HEAVY BALLS ARE NO PROBLEM In spite of his early misgivings about the change to a heavy match tennis ball, Rafa Nadal raced into the quarter-finals of the French Open earlier in the week, At the time of writing, the 12-time winner of the French Open stormed into the quarterfinals with a straight-set victory over American qualifier Sebastian Korda, who had no answers for his idol Nadal on the clay surface.

Two little boys side-by-side 15 years ago - ball boys for the Roosters - last Friday night the pair, Nathan Cleary (Panters) and Kyle Flanagan (Roosters) faced each other when the defending premiers, the Sydney Roosters, and the minor premiers went head-to-head. They would only have dreamed of such glory as ball boys. Dare to dream, kids. youngster, 19-year-old Jannik Sinner, who defeated Alexander Zverev to progress. Zverev admitted after the game that he went into the match quite unwell. The Rafa clay train is expected to just keep rolling along.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN As the Beerwah Bulldogs prepare to travel to Brisbane in an effort to win their first piece of silverware for several decades, the Noosa Pirates have every reason to feel they have been robbed, and to ask the question - What did the Bulldogs have that the Pirates did not? When Covid-19 effectively shutdown the Sunshine Coast A Grade competition, both clubs applied to the QRL to join the Brisbane Division 1 comp. The QRL answer was one in, one out. After putting together a strong group, Noosa A Grade Coach Brett Winkler was bitterly disappointed at the time with the decision. Perhaps it was the tyranny of distance that swung against the Pirates. In the meantime, the Noosa club is delighted that a Sunny Coast team has made it to the grand final and has thrown its support behind them in the grand final match against the Redlands Parrots. At the same time it has only fuelled the fire in the belly of the Pirates to make amends in 2021.

DOLPHINS’ FIXTURES ARE DRAWING TO A CLOSE With just one round of fixtures remaining in the Sunshine Coast Senior rugby union competition, the Noosa Dolphins prepare to take on Wynnum in an away game. After a tough 37-31 win on the weekend at UNI, the Dolphins sit at the head of the leader board heading into the final fixture game of the 2020 season. The Reserve grade side went down 15-12 in its clash with UNI and will be keen for a win this weekend against Wynnum to cement its place in the top four. The side currently sits in third place but is on level pegging with fourth-placed Gympie. In their last outing, the Noosa Colts defeated their Caloundra counterparts and head the three team comepitition. This week they play USC Colts. There is sure to be plenty of excitement this Saturday afternoon at the Dolphins’ home ground for the junior prize giving afternoon, which starts at 4.30pm.

Kini has found her form Kini Naughton had become so nervous on the tee that she couldn’t even take a backswing. When she did manage a pass at the ball, it invariably trickled only a few metres along the ground. “I just couldn’t hit the ball,” she said. “It was like having the yips - only worse. It wouldn’t have mattered if I used a putter. I just couldn’t get the ball off the tee.” Kini’s panic attacks became so bad that the Noosa Springs member gave the game away, packing away her clubs in the garage and not playing for six months. Along the way her daughter told her about ‘tapping’ - an emotional freedom technique, also known as psychological acupressure, used to treat people with anxiety. Similar to acupuncture - except with fingers rather than needles - the technique uses fingertip tapping to apply pressure to energy hot spots on the body and create a balance in a person’s energy system. Kini gave it a try and, with the encouragement of friend Irene Cordukes, she gradually found the courage to return to the golf course. It took a little time, but last week things clicked for the woman who didn’t take up golf until she was 57, and then saw her handicap drop from 45 to 20 in just 12 months. Playing off 29 - a handicap she says she’s ashamed of - Kini had 43 stableford points to easily win Noosa Springs’ midweek competition. “It was the first time in ages I’d had a good score,” she said. “It was such a relief to be hitting some good shots, and just playing to my handicap.” Justice seals title at Noosa Springs Justice Bosio, the country’s top-ranked junior female golfer, saved her best for last when she shot a brilliant three under-par 69 at Noosa Springs to win the Invincible Tour’s Sunshine Coast Junior Masters title last week. She improved each day, scoring 74, 72, 70 and 69, to win the championship by nine strokes from Redcliffe’s Amy Hodgkins (76, 74, 69, 75: 294). Justice’s four-round total of 285 was eight shots better than the best boy - Harry Takis, of Nudgee, who beat Royal Brisbane’s Yevin Samararatne by three strokes to win the boys’ championship. The Junior Masters, the most prestigious event on the Invincibles Tour, was played over four rounds at Peregian, Twin Waters, Pelican Waters and Noosa Springs. Justice, 16, from Caboolture, has proved herself to be Australia’s outstanding junior this year, winning titles in South Australia in successive weeks in January, and taking the Invincibles matchplay championship. Ionna Muir (Maroochy River) won the girls’ nett title, while Adam Van Dorsselaer (Mt Coolum) was boys’ nett champion. Lucas now among the best The Sunshine Coast-based Lucas Herbert gave notice that he was on the brink of greatness when he played a magnificent final round in the Scottish Open this week to fall just two strokes short of victory. Herbert, 24, had led the tournament after two rounds but struggled in the dreadful Saturday conditions, shooting 79. He threw everything he had into the final round, but came up just short. He shot a remarkable closing 65 at the Renaissance Club to finish tied-fourth, and held the lead throughout a stretch of his final round. In fact, after he made five birdies in his first eight holes, including a chip-in at the par-four eighth, he was threatening to unseat those in front of him. He had come from six shots back. When he signed for seven-under 65 with nine birdies, he realised that it would not be enough. The 264,000 Euro was a nice consolation prize, though. Herbert, who makes his home at Marcus Beach, was ranked 78th in the world going into

Justice Bosio and Harry Takis - junior masters, both of them.

Kini Naughton works on her putting. the tournament and will push closer to the top 50 after this result, a number that would give him walk-up starts in the majors including a potential berth at the US Masters in December. Not only that, he is ranked seventh on the European Tour’s Race to Dubai with its huge carrot of the tour championship and its lucrative bonus pool. It’s official: golf’s good for you An international research study has shown what many of us have been telling our partners for years - playing golf is good for your mind and body. New evidence also shows golf can provide significant health benefits to older players in the form of improved muscle strength and balance. The Strength and Balance Study, carried out over two years by scientists in Britain and the U.S., shows golf can improve quality of life through muscle strengthening, improved balance, aerobic exercise and social interaction. Martin Slumbers, chief executive of the Royal & Ancient, said: “These findings should encourage policy makers and healthcare professionals to consider recommending playing golf to older people as part of encouraging them to adopt a more active lifestyle, as well as tackling physical inactivity to reduce healthcare costs.” Tired Dino bows out A fortnight of almost non-stop competitive golf caught up with Noosa Springs’ Dino Degotardi in the South Australian Amateur Championship last week. He shot scores of 80 and 79 to miss the matchplay rounds of the championship at Adelaide’s Mt Osmond golf course. But another Sunshine Coast star - Sarah Wilson of Pelican Waters - did the region proud by winning the stroke play section of the women’s championship, with rounds of 72 and 71, before reaching the final of matchplay competition. Sarah, 19, then went down to South Australian Charley Jacobs, who produced a stunning birdie blitz to beat Sarah 10&9. Brisbane teenager Sam Slater won the men’s championship.

Harry Takis in action in the final round. Golf booms through pandemic Though Covid-19 has been devastating for many people, and has crippled some industries, it has inspired a golfing boom across the country, and particularly on the Sunshine Coast. Leaving out Victoria, where golf has been closed down for extended periods, the number of rounds played nationally is up four percent to the end of August. In its Australian Golf Rounds - Trends and Impacts of Covid-19 report, Golf Australia says rounds played by people in the 20-49 age range have skyrocketed in the past four months.

All the post full moon fun Offshore, the winds have been a mixed bag of calm to gusting. Most days we have seen light winds early in the morning, building in the afternoon. This has seen the local reefs more popular and the south east winds have made sunshine reef and Jew shoal two great options. With snapper, pearl perch and sweetlip on offer to 60 centimetres, this is the time to run lighter 5 to 8 kilogram spin outfits. For those after braid to get the best from using lures then check out the Suffix 832, which casts really well and gives excellent abrasion resistance. If you are after line don’t forget we spool all reels for free when you purchase line. Off the beaches, the run of dart, bream and whiting around the river mouth continues. As always, fish as light as possible and check out various long ultra light surf rods designed for these species. Small spin reels like the Penn battle will help balance out longer rods, yet keep the price point friendly. Baits are fresh beach worm, salted slimy mackerel, and mullet strip. Reports of longtail tuna are starting to filter through from other areas so you may get a shot at one if fishing off the headland rocks with stickbaits or bigger soft plastics. These fish are full of power and have more stamina than an Olympic athlete so don’t rush to get them in if you do hook up. The Noosa River has seen some great fish caught on the run up to the moon. The everglades has wild bass and even trevally in the lower areas around the mouth of Lake Cootharaba. Tarpon sometimes come through this area toward the river. They are very hard to hook as they have very bony mouths and jump a lot. You will find these fish between the lakes where the darker waters make them easier to catch. If you want to catch one be sure to use the finesse range of jigheads as the hooks are much finer and penetrate easily. Once hooked, allow the fish to run and once in a net let it recover as they don’t cope with being out of the water once exhausted. Still, up between the lakes there have been some smaller jewfish showing up on a range of soft plastics. These fish also love soft vibes during the early mornings. Take a look at the smaller Samaki Vibelicious, which are ready to fish out of the box and have landed lots of fish. Golden trevally, queenfish and flathead have been showing up throughout the lower estuary from the ski run to the river mouth rocks. Trevally and big flathead have also been caught and will frequent the same areas. Flicking small soft plastics on the drop offs and deep water channels is worth a try, especially around the dog beach. Great plastics are Keitech easy shiners, Zman slim swimz and Powerbait minnows. All of these will be rigged differently according to water depth and current speed. If you are starting out with soft plastics then you should take a look at the TT estuary

Tom White caught this 66cm flathead in the lower estuary on a ZMan 2.5 inch GrubZ soft plastic. pack. This pack covers all the popular weight and sizes of jig heads for fishing the local waterways. Come and ask us how we rig out soft plastics and tie the all important loop knot for the very best results if starting out. Freshwater is seeing the bass a popular target as the toga move toward breeding. The water temps continue to climb, although last week we did see a cold snap which quietened

things down a bit. For now, break out the spinnerbaits and work them over dense timber and points.

Croquet club champions The Noosa Croquet Club is continuing to operate under Covid conditions at Noosa, but things are moving forward with champions being named. The club said people were being very good, and playing numbers were well up. “We are missing some of our regulars from down south who visit each year, and our New Zealand friends,” Noosa Croquet Club publicity officer, Colin Hindson said. “Some members are still stuck interstate, but we hope they will return as restrictions ease. In the meantime, the weather is improving, spring is with us, and it is extremely pleasant out on the courts.” The club’s annual budget meeting was held on Tuesday, 22 September. “This was well-attended, and our finances were discussed and a new budget approved,” Mr Hindson said. “We also made some minor changes to our constitution and to our by-laws to tidy up some of the membership categories which had become out-of-date. It was held outside, and was very successful.

Division 3 champion Gus Allan.

Division 1 champion Ray Powley.

Division 2 champion Julie Terry.

“On the weekend of October 3, 4 and 5, our courts will be closed for the ACA Association Bronze Medal Tournament. “This is the only outside tournament we are hosting this year. Other times were made available for our players who missed out on their normal play times. We are hoping for a successful weekend, even with restrictions in place. “Our regular ‘come and try’ Sunday mornings continue and we have quite a few drop in

and try out croquet. Not all return, but there is a regular supply of those in training and new members. Despite efforts to advertise, and promotion, we still find our best method of attracting new members is word-of-mouth.” A recent local council promotion of regular come and try events in Noosa District, in which the club was involved, drew no visitors. “Our Golf Club Championships (Singles) are currently being played, and are very com-

petitive,” Mr Hindson said. “One level has already been decided - Level 1 has been won by Ray Powley, who won narrowly in a countback on hoops from Rob Moncrieff. Well done Ray, Level 1 Division champion. The Level 2 Champion was won by Julie Terry. She was delighted with her win. The Division 3 champion was the last to be decided, and this was won by Gus Allan. Congratulations to all winners.”

Noosa Pirates kick off a bold new community project While the Covid-19 crisis has greatly impacted everyone’s lives, and certainly disrupted the sporting world, the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Football Club has seen it as the perfect opportunity to embark on an innovative new community project. The plan is set to transform the way Noosa, and potentially many other regions, look at how they can better utilise their sporting facilities. “It’s bold, innovative, sustainable... and it’s community.” “It’s more than just sport. It is about delivering a diverse range of health, wellness and recreation offerings that will bring huge benefits and positive outcomes to our community.” Those were the words from Noosa Pirates General Manager Brett Winkler as he launched the new community hub project that will help transform the Noosa District Sports Complex at Tewantin into an integrated active health hub and recreation lifestyle precinct. “As a successful local community organisation that has been around for over 45 years, we see our role as more than just playing Rugby League,” Mr Winkler said. “This club has helped shape the lives of many for the better, on so many levels other than just sport. Therefore, it’s only natural that we encompass the wider benefits of having an integrated health, wellness and recreation focus, as part of our facility and community space.” This latest move comes as the Pirates move forward in a working relationship with Noosa Council in order to find a better model that seeks to optimise and maximise the

Blackwood Architecture and Design’s 3D impression of the Noosa Active Health Hub and Community Recreation Lifestyle Precinct. community benefits of this hidden Tewantin gem. Within the precinct there are nine sporting, recreation and community groups that this project alone will provide direct assistance and help to support and grow their organisations. The Noosa Pirates have been working with Noosa Council for some time after recognising their vision for the precinct, as the new masterplan for the site was developed and adopted earlier in the year by council. The masterplan looks at a significant upgrade that includes new roads, integrated pathways and bikeways, a specialised play area along with better parking and access to the overall site. “It was great that as part of council’s consultation process that we were asked by them to contribute and submit our ideas, next to theirs,” Mr Winker said. “It was pretty clear to us that there was an opportunity for someone to step up and that is just what we did. Maybe that’s part of our culture and DNA as a rugby league club but

we saw it as much more than just about footy. “While we will never move out of our core Rugby League operations and business, we clearly see the need to diversify our services and now focus on being a much more, holistic community partner.” The project will see the current clubhouse transformed into suites for permanent onsite allied health professionals who will service people of all ages in the community. The specialist areas will include the likes of exercise physiology, physiotherapy, social work, podiatry and mental health. Next door will be a new, multi-purpose community hub building that will house modern changeroom facilities (for men, women and people with disabilities), a canteen, and a kiosk that will replace the current outdated 35-year-old facilities. There will also be the inclusion of much-needed public toilets to service the precinct, and upstairs will be community and training rooms that will be made available to the precinct users and other community groups.

In addition, an on-site gym and wellness area will accommodate many of the Noosa Council, State and Federal Government programs and initiatives that are specifically designed to deliver and help support those in the community to recover and rehabilitate from a wide range of ailments and conditions. “This won’t be your standard gym - it will be run primarily to serve these great programs and provide better access to those that will directly benefit people on a whole range of fronts, from senior citizens, to new mums, to young children and families and others,” the Pirates’ GM said. While the project relies on significant Government funding, the signs are promising of getting the required support to make the project happen in the short-term. With Noosa Council continuing to work in progressing key aspects of the masterplan that will add greatly to the precinct’s ‘shovel ready’ viability, current Noosa MP Sandy Bolton has also thrown her support behind the planned project and will recommend it for funding consideration. At the same time, there are existing Federal Government program options already available, with the potential for more as part of the Government’s Covid recovery assistance. “Yes, there is still a bit to do but things are progressing well and are on-track,” Winkler said. “There are real opportunities emerging right now for us to make this great project a reality for the whole of the Noosa community in the very near future.”

Mixed results first up By Randall Woodley Last weekend the four senior teams from the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Club played in the first round of the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association’s fixtures with mixed results. Three of the teams had narrow loses but the sixth graders had a comprehensive win. On the previous Thursday night, the first grade team defeated the Coolum Sharks under lights in the final match of the Twenty20 series. Batting first TNT scored 7/153 with Jarrod Officer the standout batsman, plundering 74 off 39 balls, and Sam Baker contributing 36. In reply, the young Coolum side could not handle the experienced Thunder bowlers and were all out for 97 with Dom Taylor taking 4/12. The TNT boys have now won six out of their seven T20 matches and will play in the finals on Sunday, 18 October. SATURDAY’S MATCHES FIRST GRADE: The team hosted last year’s premiers Maroochydore in the clubs first ever home day-night one day game at Read Park. Batting first, TNT got off to a poor start against some disciplined bowling and from 0/29 fell to be 7/82 before a partnership from teenager Cody Pyne (25) and Brad Thompson (23) regained some momentum and helped the score struggle to 145. Although the target was 60-70 runs below par, the locals were still confident that they could contain the Swan’s bats. When Tom Freshwater took two wickets in the first over, TNT were well and truly in the game. Then three more wickets to Freshwater by the ninth over of the innings (to bring up his five) had Maroochydore 5/39 off nine. From there the Thunder really tightened the screws with Maroochydore only managing 1/60 off the next 30 overs with all of the bowlers doing their job. Brad Thompson got the important breakthrough and Jarrod Officer conceded just 10 runs from his 10 overs. However, Maroochydore reached the target with 10 balls to spare. A disappointing result but some good perfor-

The firsts bowling at Read Park mances all around. Next week the team travels to Gympie and with Scott Aufderheide and Alex Bennett returning the Thunder are confident of a win. THIRD GRADE: After travelling up the range, the TNT boys lost the toss and bowled first. Harrison Lea opened and with pace and good lines finished his spell with 1/19. Robbie Payton opened from the other end and swung the ball troubling all their batsman. He ended with 1/28

off eight. Maleny lost wickets at regular intervals to be at one stage 5/61 but continued on to be 164 after their 40 0vers. Others to take wickets were Ben Giddy (2/14), Nick Bennett (1/43) and captain Jason Toohey (3/39). Wicket-keeper Cooper Lea took three catches but the TNT’s overall fielding and catching was well below par. TNT lost an early wicket but Cooper Lea batted aggressively to register 37. Thunder’s in-

nings then deteriorated with poor shot selection and give away wickets. However, a record ninth wicket stand of 65 from Nick Bennett (34 no) and Mike Thomson (24) gave the team some hope but unfortunately the innings closed just two runs short of the target. FIFTHS: The team went down in a thriller to Cooroy. Batting first, TNT scored 219 on a fast Cooroy pitch. Steven Hill and Brendan Wright got the team off to a good start, before the first wicket fell. The pick of the batsmen was Tony Watson, who scored 60 - supported by Jack Saunders and Kent Officer. Being a bowler down, the order was quickly reshuffled with Jack Saunders taking the opening wicket. Cooroy batted strongly and after 15 overs was on more than 115 and in cruise control. But the TNT spirit remained alive and every player put in a courageous performance. Tony Watson chimed in with a wicket, and Ben Anderson and Ian Brundell took a couple of good wickets each with their tenacious leg spin - swinging the game back for TNT. Cooroy was on the ropes at 9/188, but pulled the game due to some sporadic rain and bad light - ending the hopes of TNT’s thrilling comeback. SIXTHS: Playing at home against WamuranStanley Rivers, the TNT team bowled first and soon had the visitors in trouble. They never regained the ascendency and were all out for 116. The first wicket was taken by Gilbert Fancourt, playing his first senior match. Others to take wickets were Finn Mayo (2/20), captain Jason Talbot (2/17), and Graham Chaplin, Carl Burbery and Shane Gesell all took a wicket each. Craig Moore was exceptional behind the stumps, taking four catches and effecting a stumping. TNT reached the target in the 18th over, losing only two wickets. Top scorers were manof-the-match Craig Moore (45 not out), Shane Gesell (33) and Brian Lee (20). Next week the boys are at Coolum playing the Sharks.

A flag-winning sea change By Russell Bennett Ben Collins still isn’t entirely sure if Noosa’s 55-point triumph over Mayne to claim the 2020 QFA Division 1 HART Sport Cup was his final game of senior footy. But that’s one hell of a swansong to go out on, if it proves to be the case. The 38-year-old former player-coach of Kooweerup, and premiership winner at clubs including Beaconsfield and Cora Lynn - all in Melbourne’s south-east - opted for a Noosa sea-change with his young family earlier this year, and they’re not looking back. The Tigers’ premiership win marked Collins’ sixth senior flag out of nine grand finals - an incredible record over a 20-year senior career so far. And when he stepped up to receive this particular premiership medal, he had a beaming grin from ear-to-ear - knowing his wife Aleisha and young kids Archie and Brighton were there to experience it with him. His last flag came as player-coach of another south-east Melbourne side, Belgrave, in 2012 - before he and Aleisha were married, and before the kids came along. He always had a dream to take his son up to the premiership dais with him, but wasn’t sure he’d ever get that chance - until his win with those roaring Tigers, when Archie was right by his side. But the boys from Kooweerup were never far from Collins’ mind as the final siren sounded. “I thought of all these through-and-through Koowee people that we worked so hard for back there,” he said. “It’ll probably remain the biggest regret of

my footy career that we couldn’t win one there. “That’s not to take anything away from these Noosa boys whatsoever - I’ve had an absolute ball with those blokes - but I had the Koowee guys in my head the whole day. “I guess I wanted to make up for 2018 in some way.” The Collins-coached Kooweerup lost to Phillip Island by 99 points in astonishing scenes back in the 2018 West Gippsland decider. It was the year after he stopping playing senior footy - seemingly for good - while battling testicular cancer in mid-2017. He spoke at the time, acknowledging the need to speak out and raise awareness of the second most common form of cancer in young men aged between 18 and 39. Ben was told he had an early-stage seminoma, and had surgery to remove the canceraffected testicle. He was inspired to step up and get checked out by his GP after AFL key forward Jesse Hogan came forward with his own battle. “I actually texted him and said that, without wanting to dramatise it, I only got checked because he came out publically and said he had it and that could potentially have saved my life,” Collins said at the time. “The reason I’m happy to get this out there is because if we can influence someone else to get themselves checked, and if that person has it and it’s caught early, then this is all worthwhile. “The doc reckons I’d had it for six months before I was diagnosed. I had no pain - it was tender, but it didn’t hurt.” Collins has had the all-clear for quite some

time now and said he no longer really thought about the health battles he experienced, but he was quick to add they did spring straight to mind after the Tigers’ premiership win when he reflected on the journey to that point. “That time in my life was three-and-a-half years ago now, and that time has just gone so quickly,” he said. “We got interviewed by the footy club after the grand final and that was one thing that came to mind - that, and the Koowee boys and what a flag would have meant to them.” Kooweerup’s most recent senior premiership was almost 40 years ago, back in 1981. In some way, he’ll always think of the Demons when he looks at his Tigers premiership medal, but make no mistake, he’ll always cherish the memories he’s made at Noosa. “I’m definitely lucky to have walked in and become a part of a really good side straight away,” he said. “It was pretty awesome - we only drew once and the rest we won.” That one draw came against Mayne back in Round 9, and Collins said it proved to be the kick in the pants the Tigers needed. “We got away with a draw, but the funny thing was that after the game we sat in the rooms and I had a good chat with Hutchy (fellow Victorian ex-pat, the experienced Shane Hutchinson) and Bov (coach Adam Bovalino) and said this could have won us the flag,” Collins said. “It was probably the best thing that could have happened to us as a side, in all honesty. “It was sort like it kicked us into gear - it was definitely the catalyst to us winning the flag, I reckon.”

Collins praised the Noosa group and the impact the likes of Bovalino and Hutchinson had through their leadership. But, by the same token, the talented youth of the group has left the biggest impact on him. “There are a couple of young blokes that Hutchy and I became really close with -Wil O’Dwyer being one,” Collins said. “He’d be one of my best mates at the footy club and he’s 18 years of age, and he can really play. “There are just some of these 18 to 22-yearolds that we’ve become really close with. I feel like we’ve really helped them in that leadership role, and have really helped Bova in that sense too because there was probably me, Hutchy, (former Sydney Swan) Brett Meredith, and a local bloke named Nathan Winter. Other than that, just about everyone else was under that 25 bracket. I really enjoyed that role.” Ultimately, Collins was just proud he could contribute. “I made the decision at the end of 2017 to stop playing and I felt like I was still good enough to give to that (Kooweerup) group something on-field, but I felt like I was better served to them as a non-playing coach,” he said. “This year, from a selfish point of view, I felt vindicated in my thought that I could still play. By no means was I one of the best players in the team or anything like that, but I know that I gave a lot to this group this year, and I knew I could still go out and play a role on-field.” And now, he’ll be forever remembered as a Noosa premiership player - with a group of blokes who’ve rapidly become some of his best mates.

Good start for Noosa’s own The fact that Noosa’s Lana Rogers, winner of the Australian Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Championship and the Coolangatta Gold, was able to maintain a positive attitude during the early months of the Covid-19 outbreak speaks volumes for her coaching panel, family and support group. Her coach and mentor Sharlene Kelly is fast getting a reputation amongst surf club coaches that is second to none. Her ability, to not only write but also action a brilliant training program, is the envy of a lot of people. Add to this the support of specialist board coach veteran Clint Irwin and swim coach Brian Stehr, and you have a coaching team that is the envy of many a budding athlete. Then, to add the strawberries to the cream cake, you have that group that stands silently in the background of every good surf club, the GOM Squad (Grumpy Old Men). Made up of old boys and some life members, these are the members who, having been through the hard times, appreciate and respect the likes of the Rogers’ crew. In a club like Noosa Heads, that for many years went unrecognised in the world of surf sports, you can be assured that the above mentioned will be prepared to assist where possible, not only the Rogers crew, but also the likes of the boat section, the first aid team and the other young guns and coaches on their way up. On Saturday at Alexandra Headlands, Lana Rogers took part in her first carnival of the season when she contested the Queensland Endurance Championships. With a good role up of clubs from all over the coast, the standard of competition was very high and for Lana, who entered three events, the 10km ski, 4km board and 2km swim, the results could not be better: winning the gold in all three. Team mate Electra Outram finished third in the board and fifth in the ski. “I was very happy with the results. Despite all the cancellations and everything else, I still maintained a good, positive attitude. From last experiences I am very confident in what I am doing and know what to expect. I am now well aware of what lays ahead and what is needed to achieve good results. Some of the dates are now being announced and the first leg of the Nutri-Grain is now set down for the weekend of 19 and 20 December. The beach is Kingscliffe and I am very much looking forward to it,” she said. To maintain her level of fitness for such tough events, Lana’s program is a six-day week, with three to four sessions a day. We wish this young lady all the best for the season ahead. Another date on the drawing board is 24 October: this is hopefully the date of the Alexandria Headlands Mini Coolangatta Gold, a race conducted over a distance of 16km. This race will be just a part of a big weekend for Alex: there will be a big skating competition in the local arena as well as gymnastic displays. Pickleball For those of you who are wondering if this new sport of pickleball is starting to take hold, a recent flyer released by the Noosa Club tells us that there is now a large number of people travelling 50-100 kilometres three times a week to play in Noosa. Let’s hope it keeps up. In late September, 18 members of the Noosa Club travelled to the Sleeman Sports Complex in Brisbane to take part in the second Brisbane Open Competition. The tournament was conducted over 26-27 September and it was noted that more players are being coached and more are seeking tournament games: this is resulting in a higher standard of play. Of the 156 players, it was noted that the majority came from south east Queensland. For the Noosa Club it was a good result with eight doubles teams (in the mens, women’s and mixed divisions) coming home with medals. All the teams were competitive, with most reaching at least the semi-finals. Ros Smart and Christine Murphy won the women’s 60-plus Intermediate gold, Ron Gatliff and Ken Solomons the 60-plus Intermediate gold, Glenice Ault and Bruce Winther the mixed 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 October, 2020

Like a lot of other sports, pickleball received a major setback when the Australian National Championships had to be cancelled because of Covid-19. However, the Queensland Open tournament is going ahead as scheduled from 27 to 29 November. With more players receiving coaching and the standard improving, the major tournaments are becoming good to watch. On 10 October the Noosa Club is hosting a one-day tournament at the Noosa Leisure Centre to celebrate World Pickleball Day. For those who are interested and curious to see the sport first hand, this would be a good day to “Go and Look.’’ Once players get a taste for the game, they want to see the sport grow, and not just locally, but right throughout the land. Spokesperson for the Noosa Club Christine

Murphy said, “We need more dedicated courts to be built in Noosa to attract and retain players of all age generations.’’ Further to this it was stated: Pickleball tourism is growing worldwide and Noosa is an ideal location to host international visitors for two tournaments a year. The lack of dedicated courts in the Sunshine Coast hampers the growth of the sport in our region; tourism bodies please take note - remember the old saying, “sport puts bums on seats.’’ According to the World Pickleball Day flyer, some of the side benefits to note are: that it’s easy to learn, inexpensive, socially inclusive, great exercise, now an international game and above all, a game for older players (the retired age group.) It doesn’t cost to look. Football In every football club there is always two major components. First and foremost is, of course, the game itself: a game they play, to not only win but also entertain the community. When the game is over and the cheering stops, they go back to being not just part of the community, but in some cases, they be-

come major contributors. From the local AFL people, there has been an outstanding donation of club premises, time and effort in their fight to improve men’s health (the fight against prostate cancer), a fight that the community supports by its attendance at a yearly fundraising function. Just a short distance away at the Dolphins Rugby Club, a senior player, Sam Koning, (with the club also playing host) some months ago organised and conducted a massive fundraising event. All funds raised, $32,000, were donated to our local volunteer firefighters. Well done to Sam and his club. Now, over at Pirate Park, Tewantin - the home of rugby league - the club is about to undertake a major rebuilding project. Known as “Regen Noosa,” it will not only expand and upgrade the surrounds, but in doing so, will provide a facility for our community with something for everyone, (not just rugby league) from the kids to the senior citizens. The end result could provide an establishment that would be there to assist in our future times of need.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Going back to the bush Well, it had been quite a while, and just when we decided to reacquaint ourselves with the Queensland outback, it seemed every other Covid-crazed baby boomer had the same idea. Still, if you take the road that used to be less travelled and simply look for the biggest loser towns along it, you’ll find plenty of places to park the rented campervan by a quiet river and watch the sunset over a decent glass of wine. There was a time when I knew every back road and one pub town in Queensland, having travelled them all as Queensland correspondent for The Bulletin magazine. I was lucky to work at the now-defunct “Bully” at a time when several of its editors, Trevor Kennedy and Ian Frykberg among them, wanted to take the grand old magazine out of the lattesipping culture of the cities and back to the bush where it started in the late 19th century. I’m sure neither of the aforementioned gentlemen had in mind bringing back the magazine’s original masthead slogan, “Australia for the White Man”, but they did want me to get out the back of beyond, find the bush bards and bulls***ters and capture the essence of the real Australia, just as Henry Lawson and AB ‘Banjo’ Paterson had done in the magazine’s early years. I didn’t need to be asked twice, and the end results were several summer holiday double issues on bush themes, like the routes of the explorers, or our forgotten islands, and two books - My Blood’s Country, which covered the Bicentennial National Trail from Cooktown to Healesville (with your correspondent on horseback for a painful lot of it); and Tracks Winding Back, which focused on the trails blazed by our legendary and lesser known explorers. In those days I’d go bush with a photographer in a serious off-road vehicle with just a swag, a camp oven, a billy and a bush shower. With no mobile phones and no two-way radio, we’d go off the grid for weeks at a time, and somehow make it home in time for deadline. I’d always had an affinity with the bush, but in those years I grew to love its rawness, and as our kids grew up I inflicted upon them an education in rough-house camping. But that was then, this is now. We’re old and we need a soft bed. Fortunately the hired campervan had one. It also had a name, Crystal Dreams, and little crystal decorations glued around its ceiling, so you could trip out as you drifted off to sleep listening to the soundtrack of the wild. We loved it immediately, but unfortunately so had its previous renter, which meant we were late getting away from the Sunny Coast and only made it as far as Gayndah for our first night. It didn’t matter. Gayndah was perfect and perfectly empty. The main street was deserted just before sunset and we crossed a bridge and found a decrepit riverside campground that was equally deserted. The car fridge had chilled the wine and the gas cooker worked wonders on the pasta. If this is what being a grey nomad is all about, I can take a fair bit of it. The next day we ambled along Cania Gorge, through which more than 30 years ago I’d ridden a grey mare, coming down through the harsh and beautiful country of Kroombit Tops. Not quite the same seen from the road, but still beautiful. In the afternoon we left the Range and headed out through the gem fields to Emerald, a lively service town that was full of Covid tourists just like us. Yikes! We were getting into the land of the long horizon now, and I decided to camp the night in Barcaldine, where they’ve built a funny roof over the Tree of Knowledge and two of the town’s four pubs have closed down. The great shearers’ strike of 1893 and the subsequent creation of the Australian Labor Party under a tree outside the railway station have given the place a listing on the heritage map, but strangely the old town was a lot livelier last time I visited 35 years ago. Winton was an easy three-hour ramble the next morning, and we spent the better part

Arno’s crazy wall, Winton. of the afternoon in the North Gregory Hotel, slaking the thirst of the dusty road, as you do. Again, it had been a long time between drinks in Winton for me, but our youngest daughter had taken a gig helping run the entertainment programs at the Gregory not long ago, so she’d given us the drum. Dinosaurs and the film industry have put this crazy old town on the map, but for me it’s still all about the late light on those wide, deserted streets, and Banjo Paterson. We got to feast on both last week, the town having emptied out after the opal festival a couple of days earlier, and only a small audience on hand for local bush poet “Gregory North’s” - get it? - Banjo Paterson tribute, in which he explains how the great bush poet wrote the words to Waltzing Matilda at a homestead not far away, and the song was first performed right here at the North Gregory in 1896. Winton was our most westerly stop and we hit it for the coast, via Charters Towers. Now I’m sitting outside the van on a warm afternoon in a quiet part of the Whitsunday coast - more about that next week.

The median house price increased by 1.9 per cent over the period, making it Queensland’s most expensive jewel in the crown. The super-low volume of listings is helping to underpin the housing market, but there has also been a huge influx of southern buyers keen to purchase sight unseen because of persistent border closures. But it’s not just the house market that is firing, so is the unit market where demand is strong but supply is low. The rental market is also starting to strain from solid tenant demand and an undersupply of properties. Lifestyle and housing affordability factors were part of their decision-making with some buyers who were locked out of southern cities because of high prices seeing they can realise their dreams of home ownership in Noosa. Buyers are also attracted to the region because of their ability to retain their southern jobs and incomes by working from home and then flying down to Sydney or Melbourne when needed as soon as some semblance of normality returns. Whereas unit markets in other regional locations are bearing the brunt of the pandemic, the situation seems to be reversed here, with the median sale price

for the June quarter up an impressive 3.8 per cent. Ms Mercorella said the popularity of Noosa as a holiday destination played a big part in the demand for property. “Why holiday anywhere else? This way they can spend their dollars here instead of overseas. “The property market has definitely got local buyers, but there is also a strong demand from interstate “Noosa is extraordinary. It’s remarkable to think that a regional area is holding top place for the median house price instead of the capital city.’’ The median price for the whole of Noosa Shire is almost $840,000, compared to Brisbane’s $694,000. “How telling is that?’’ Ms Mercorella asked. “It says a lot about Noosa and its popularity. “The buyers know the Noosa market. It’s where we have the benefit. “Even though the borders are closed, people are prepared to buy sight unseen. “It says so much about this market and the appeal.’’ Ms Mercorella said the high end of the market was performing well, with sales of $18m and $14m recorded. “Multi-million-dollar sales are happening,

and while they have been exceptional it would be naive to think it doesn’t have an impact on the property market.’’ POSITION SAYS IT ALL The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 22 The Quarterdeck, Noosa Heads, went to offers very quickly and been placed under contract with Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate. Listed at offers over $1,500,000, there was a lot of interest, Melanie said, due to its location - close to the beach as well as Noosa Junction. “It was a much-loved home in a quiet, elevated position. Architect designed, it had stunning views. “There was a lot of southern interest. “It went to local buyers who appreciated the position. “Local buyer activity is very strong. It’s amazing.’’ Melanie now has a two-bedroom, twobathroom apartment 6/140 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, set for auction Saturday at midday. Marketed in conjunction with Laguna colleague John Swainson, the Tropicana unit is a beauty, Melanie said. “It’s an exceptional unit in a quality complex.

A one-bedroom, one-bathroom beachfront apartment 19 On The Beach, 49 Hastings St Noosa Heads, is listed at $2.25m.

IT says something about Queenslanders that regions such as Noosa have been so much in demand over the school holidays. As the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions eased, people started getting out and enjoying our home state. A consequence is Queensland’s real estate market continues to defy predictions of property price falls as a result of the pandemic. The Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s report, using CoreLogic’s latest data for the April-June 2020 quarter, shows that Noosa is leading the way with a median house price of $836,724 and median unit price of $715,000. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella, speaking in Noosa last Friday, said that with the significant impact on tourism from the pandemic, it seemed a little surreal that a holiday location such as Noosa was the top house performer over the June quarter.

“There is the perfect indoor-outdoor terrace, wrap-around verandas and a fullsize private rooftop terrace with gazebo, kitchenette and shower. “It’s absolutely fabulous. Very private and with views.’’ The sellers have been living there, but work commitments are taking them away from Noosa. “It has attracted strong interstate and local interest,’’ Melanie said. “It’s a really good investment/live-in option. “Holiday rental returns are very strong in the complex.’’ PRIZED LITTLE COVE ESCAPE If history is any indication of the capital growth of the 4567 postcode then Jesse Stowers believes the two-bedroom, twobathroom penthouse at 18/24 Little Cove Rd, Noosa Heads, will be a great investment. He has been getting national interest on the apartment that boasts Laguna Bay views from the balcony as well as the rooftop terrace. That interest has been coming from Victoria especially. “They are looking for a place to holiday and Little Cove is great for that’’ Jesse said. “Here, you just step out the door and within 100metres you have your toes in the sand. “It goes without saying we should have bought back when. “Noosa is seeing the highest capital growth in Queensland.’’ It’s not just the views of Laguna Bay and the Coloured Sands that are capturing interest, it’s also the size of the apartment. There is 313sq m on title. The apartment goes to auction Saturday, October 17, at 1pm. BEACHFRONT WITH PRIZED VIEWS Getting stock is the issue, not selling it. Yet Frank Milat and Shane McCauley of Richardson & Wrench Noosa have what they describe as the only Hastings St apartment for sale on the beachfront with a good view. “Covid is having an anti-cyclical effect,’’ Frank said. “People remember Noosa, and the holidays they have had here. “Now they want a piece of it. They are looking for a better life.’’

ON THE COVER

TAKE THE PLUNGE, THIS IS DRESS CIRCLE BEACH LIVING THE art of beach house living in the dress circle is just a few minutes from toes-in-thesand at Noosa Main Beach. Imagine having an Osprey’s view, sweeping north across Hastings Street, the spectacular azure waters of Laguna Bay, beyond to the Coloured Sands and the verdant hinterland from one of two supersized balconies. They seemingly perch unobtrusively in native forest surrounded with trees such as Bunya pines, Quandongs and deciduous Figs. Open the front door for a reality check and note the almost invisible line between indoors and out to sublime tranquility and those mesmerising views. Designed by renowned architect John Mainwaring, the 2-level residence defines luxury on every level. Generous overhangs offer shade and are designed for the idyllic subtropical climate. Floors and high ceilings are ash, walls lime-washed, and balustrades polished stainless steel. Natural light, breezes and cross ventilation are via banks of glass panes and louvres plus fold-away doors opening from the overgenerous living and dining spaces, which look as though they’ve been featured in the current issue of Belle magazine. Similarly, three grand master suites

which spill out to the north-facing balconies and have free-standing oval baths to drink in the views. Walk-in robes and bathrooms are also commensurate in size. One master also has a lounge/media space. A fourth bedroom would be ideal for children’s rumpus and bunk beds for family fun. The kitchen with stone bench tops, breakfast bar and all the latest whiz-bang appliances including a Smeg gas hob, would suit anyone with a passion for entertaining. On the lower level a fully equipped laundry opens out to a drying court. “Close to the private enclave of beach villas is a magnificent pool and sun terrace,” comments agent Richard Locke,who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 10 October 2020. “Within walking distance is the 477Ha Noosa National Park and the world-famous Surfing Reserve, which is a boon to joggers, walkers, nature lovers and great waves for surfers. “It’s a short stroll to sophisticated Hastings Street with its many bars, restaurants and boutiques, as well as the Noosa Heads Surf Club and sheltered north-facing Main Beach”. ●
