Keep quarry trucks away With songs and placards the Kin Kin community made their message heard outside Noosa Council chambers that they want the gravel-laden trucks travelling to and from Kin Kin quarry along their narrow, winding roads to stop.

About 50 to 100 people stood and marched around the chambers on Tuesday afternoon as a roundtable meeting was held inside to nut out the issue.

This was the second roundtable meeting bringing together representatives from the Kin Kin community, Queensland Police Service, Department of Transport and Main Roads, quarry representative Martin Cordwell, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

Too many deaths

By Abbey Cannan Four horrific fatal car crashes on Sunshine Coast within seven days has left police pleading with drivers to be alert at all times.

In the latest of unfortunate fatals, two men died in seperate car crashes on Sunshine Coast roads at the same time on the night of Saturday 10 October.

The first man died following a single-car crash in Little Mountain, with preliminary investigations indicating around 6.15pm, a black Ford Ranger travelling east on Sugarbag Road left the roadway and crashed into an embankment.

As a result of the crash, the car caught fire and the 29-year-old Little Mountain man was declared dead at the scene.

At the same time in Nambour, a 38-yearold Mapleton man died on the scene follow-

ing a motorcycle crash.

Preliminary investigations show the motorcyclist was travelling west on Carter Road towards Blaxland Street when he lost control of the motorcycle and crashed. The Forensic Crash Unit is continuing to investigate both crashes.

Noosa Heads Police acting senior sergeant Troy Cavell said it was rare for four fatals to occur on the Sunshine Coast in such a short time frame.

“With school holidays just finishing and the summer season about to start, everyone that has a vehicle and drives needs to take more care and not be in a rush to get from one place to the other,“ he said.

“When you look at the amount of people that travel to and from the Sunshine Coast, there’s no ifs and buts, it’s when will fatals occur.

“We can’t predict when or where they occur

or what might be the causes but it’s unfortunate that four have occurred in a week.“ Sgt Cavell said Noosa police were planning ahead for whatever Schoolies may bring to the region.

“We’re not sure about how Schoolies Week is going to affect Noosa at this stage.“ The two sad losses on the weekend follows the death of another motorcyclist in Mooloolah Valley on the morning of October 7.

A 63-year-old Mooloolah Valley man was riding east along Connection Road at 6.30am with investigations suggesting he attempted to pass a Toyota Hilux which was turning right into a property and hit the back of the utility.

In the fourth fatal, the family of 90-year-old woman who passed away in a traffic crash at Lake Macdonald on Sunday 4 October have joined police to appeal to the community for information in relation to the crash.

Forensic Crash Unit investigators are specifically seeking information about the movements of a dark coloured VW Toureg travelling in the Cooroy area from about 4.30pm until the crash, which occurred at 7.15pm.

The family of Nancy Thom, who passed away, have appealed to the community to help police investigate this matter.

“We are devastated by the passing of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend who is no longer with us,“ they said.

“She was a much loved member of our family and also contributed as a volunteer in the local community for many years. Her passing has had a devastating impact on a lot of people.

“We are appealing to anyone who has information to please provide this to police.”

Anyone with dash cam footage or in the vicinity of the area at this time are encouraged to come forward.

The successful Gold Coast entertainment precinct, NightQuarter, has announced its highly anticipated Sunshine Coast opening date.

Dynamic duo Michelle Christoe and Ian Van der Woude will finally unveil the weekend destination to the community on Friday 6 November.

The project’s move to the Sunshine Coast was delayed due to Covid-19 in March this year after operating successfully for three years on the Gold Coast.

“We have invested millions alongside Stockland into the precinct to provide immersive entertainment every weekend, a curated selection of global eats and unique experiences,“ Michelle said.

“This extends from Cabaret Thursdays, Friday and Saturday nights to Sunday afternoons with vintage and design markets - and yes you can bring your dogs on Sundays.

“The hospitality and the entertainment industries have been hit hard by the pandemic and we are looking at new and different ways we can reinvigorate the talent that exists on the Sunshine Coast and attract the drive market to the Southern end of the Sunshine Coast.”

The venue will be open year-round every Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 10pm and every Sunday from 12pm to 6pm.

A kaleidoscope of colour and flavour, the precinct will be home to 40 shipping container-based stallholders serving up global eats, desserts, drinks and speciality retailers. Every Friday and Saturday night, the space will come alive with live music across five stages, immersive performances, street art, bars and vintage amusement rides. The Sunday concept is a new addition to the NightQuarter experience set to make the most of the beautiful Sunshine Coast Sunday afternoons. It will be dedicated to funk, flavours and furry-friend outings with a ‘pup-up bar’ for pooches, undercover vintage and design markets, sustainability workshops and blues tunes.

The NightQuarter concert and events venue that won the 2019 Best Regional Venue award at the Queensland Music Awards has

been re-imagined as ‘NightQuarter Live’. Featuring regular ticketed live music concerts, special events and cabaret dinner-and-show style events every Thursday, the precinct is set to reinvigorate the Sunshine Coast music scene following a year of Covid-19 restrictions.

The venue has been purpose-built with a 12m by 6m stage, three storeys of shipping containers and state-of-the-art production.

Partnering with local brewery Eumundi Brewery, there will be the Eumundi Backyard dedicated to local craft beers, live tunes and games. Queensland winery Sirromet have created a cellar door style experience with a wine bar and wine tastings, and Jack Daniels have created ‘Jack’s Bar’ dedicated to great whiskey and live music with whiskey tasting flights.

The precinct will be opening under a Queensland Health approved Covid-Safe plan.

This has led to some innovations in the way that the space will operate to ensure all guests enjoy a safe and socially distanced experience.

Single passes will be available at $5 and single-family passes will be $10. Seasonal passes will provide 6 months of unlimited access for $69 making the entry less than $1 per visit for locals. The first 1000 people to sign up for a seasonal pass will become ‘foundation’ members of NightQuarter and receive a free t-shirt and a ‘golden ticket’ to a concert in NightQuarter Live.

A proven concept like the NightQuarter arts and entertainment precinct delivers on this identified need. It is a project of scale that has been proven to both increase cultural tourism, provide paid performance opportunities for local artists and engage the local community in arts and culture. Projections indicate this could result in an economic impact of $6 million a year, on top of the $12 million injection expected from the NightQuarter regular weekend offer and employ over 400 people.

Local Sunshine Coast-based artist Joel Birch (lead singer of The Amity Affliction) has shown support for the NightQuarter project and designed an external mural.

“I think that Michelle and NightQuarter are pushing the arts scene on the Sunny Coast in

the right direction and hopefully this is going to kick off some more things,“ Joel said.

“It would be nice for Sunshine Coast businesses to follow the lead here and realise that art does drive the economy. The more you have the art, the more you are driving free marketing for the region.”

The venue is in the process of hiring staff for its bar operations and taking on schoolbased traineeships.

Tickets are on-sale now at www.nightquarter.com.au

The editor’s desk As Noosa continues its war on plastic a recent CSIRO study has revealed some disturbing insights into the amount of microplastic on the sea floor.

The scientists took samples about 200 miles off the coast of the Great Australian Bight down to a depth of about 3000 metres. From their findings and calculations they made a conservative estimate there would be between 9million and 15 million tons of microplastic on the ocean floor - about twice the amount of plastic pollution than on the surface.

The scientists don’t know the effect of the plastics on the marine life but hope the study makes people think about the way they use plastic.

There is much work being done in Noosa to reduce plastic waste. Recycle, reuse, avoid it’s use as much as possible or use it to create new products or artworks.

The number of artists in Noosa, not all working with plastic, became more evident to me on the weekend when we set off to visit some involved in the Noosa Open Studios Art Trail.

Even if you’re only mildly interested in art it’s a nice way to spend the day this weekend dropping in on artists across the Shire, seeing the many and diverse styles of art and maybe pick up an early Christmas present or two.

Calling out for assistance

By Abbey Cannan Concerns have been raised over lifesaving practices at Noosa after lifesavers failed to respond on two separate occasions to swimmers in difficulties.

In an email to Noosa Today an anonymous source said a recent second bungled rescue at Noosa’s west beach nearly ended in tragic circumstances.

“Four members of the public were swept out to sea in a rip at access 11 on Monday afternoon, and while the lifeguard tower was manned with four volunteer lifesavers, all four were downstairs sheltering from the north wind and on their phones,” the source claimed.

“By pure chance the lifesaving helicopter was in the area, noticed the four people in trouble and winched all four to safety. The four volunteers or other members on patrol at the

main beach did not even notice the helicopter rescue taking place.

“Lifesavers stationed south of Noosa, who cannot be named, reported numerous radio calls to the Noosa patrol from the SLSQ radio base and the helicopter went unanswered.”

A Surf Life Saving Queensland spokesperson confirmed the incident did occur and that despite the emails, no formal complaints had been made in regards to the matter.

“Surf Life Saving Queensland reviews all major incidents and is committed to ensuring the best lifesaving service is provided,” a spokesperson said.

Noosa Council is aware of the recent incidents at Noosa West Beach and have requested that Surf Lifesaving Queensland investigate as a priority.

“We have asked for detailed information

about the rescues and any related actions or improvements that are being considered by SLSQ,” Corporate Services director Michael Shave said.

“SLSQ is treating the incidents seriously and we are awaiting the outcome of their investigation,” he said.

The anonymous source said this was the second rescue on west beach in the last few weeks that the club members have missed.

“Surfer Josh Van Roon on September 20 rescued two tourists trapped in rip under the noses of lifesavers on the same west beach tower,” they said.

“Once again, the lifesavers didn’t notice the rescue till an ambulance arrived after being called by a member of the public, to treat one of the rescued members of the public.

“Mr Van Roon stated it was the second time

he had to perform such a rescue in the same location.

“Later in the day surfer Eric Davies, visiting from interstate, who noticed the helicopter hovering on west beach for some time, saw a person enter the tower at main beach and shortly after heard him shouting at what he described as “young kids”, “What’s it going to take for you guys to take this seriously, a death?”

Mr Davies said he thought it was “a bit rough for an adult to shout at the young kids like that in public, I could hear it from the boardwalk, and he was sure a lot of the people on the main beach would had heard him as well”.

“He seemed to be a part of the club as everyone knew him, but he didn’t have a patrol uniform on.”

Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club president Ross Fisher declined to comment on the matter.

Funding allows temporary path to become permanent

By Margaret Maccoll The temporary path constructed as part of the Park Road Boardwalk Project is set to become a permanent fixture after it receives a $103,000 upgrade.

The contract for the Park Road boardwalk replacement that was completed in November 2018 included provision for temporary pedestrian access from Little Cove to the National Park.

Council officers said detailed investigations and safety assessment conducted by contractors Hutchinson Builders advised

that given the estimated 600,000 pedestrians over the 9 month construction period the safest option was a fibre reinforced concrete path constructed on gravel base with timber handrails in lieu of a previously proposed gravel path and scaffold concept.

The temporary path was constructed ahead of the boardwalk project construction and was extremely well utilised during the entire construction period and met the objectives of a safe alternative with no recorded accidents.

At Council’s General Meeting on Monday

councillors determined to accept staff recommendations to upgrade the pathway and make it a permanent council asset.

Council heard the pathway was used by residents who live and stay in the Little Cover region use the pathway rather than cross Park Road to the boardwalk.

Joggers also use the path, utilising its steps as part of their exercise regime and to avoid walker on the boardwalk.

Council has received letters of support to retain the pathway and only one request to remove it, Council officers said.

Cr Joe Jurisevic said he saw the pathway as an asset for the community and improving safety for residents who don’t need to cross Park Road.

As Hutchinson Builders are still under contract to Council so it will complete the pathway at a cost Council heard would be less than removing it.

The project will include replacing all timber handrails with aluminium handrails and protect concrete footpath batters. A final decision was due to be made on the pathway at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Celebrity exposure

By Margaret Maccoll What are the chances Chris Hemsworth, Clive Palmer or Kyle Sandilands may be buying a slice of Noosa?

Well, online bookmaker Sportsbet has them odds on favourites among a number of celebrities listed as potential buyers for the Noosa Nudist Retreat which was launched online last week by Harcourts Noosa real estate agents Clint Jensen and Jeremy Krieger.

Clint said in its first week the response had been incredible with 40 million views on the sale of the 2.5 acre Doonan property owned by Rainer Mueckenberger.

“We’ve had so much inquiry on that property from all over the country and international,“ Clint said.

“Forty million views equates to $376,000 free advertising for the property owner.“ Clint said the property was even featured on Kyle Sandilands radio show, the Kyle and Jackie O Show on Sydney’s radio station KIIS 106.5.

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.

The Noosa Nudist Retreat features an outdoor nature gym, a bondage room, a romantic rock cave with a spa bath and massage table and pool.

Odds-on favourites to buy Clint said the property could be used as a bed and breakfast or wellness centre.

It will be auctioned on 6 November.

Protest at meeting demands an end to quarry trucks

By Margaret Maccoll From Page 1 Mayor Stewart said the meeting she organised six weeks ago had been the first time all stakeholders had been brought together to discuss the issue.

“What came out of that was that there are a number of things we can do in regard to the quarry management plan to ensure trucks are adhering to the requirements,“ she said.

Cr Stewart said plans included placing a vehicle counter on Shepperson Road and police were looking at monitoring speeding and driver behaviour.

“This isn’t an easy fix,“ she said. “We hear the community. We will work in the best interests of the community. The quarry has a permit. They have a license and there’s nothing we can do about that.“ Quarry representative Martin Cordwell said earlier that the quarry was a legitimate family business that supplied material across Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.

Protest organiser Anita Poteri said Kin Kin and Pomona communities had only just

Children joined the protest.

Kin Kin residents marched around Council chambers to protest against quarry trucks.

Photos: ROB MACCOLL woken up to the impact of the quarry that some community members began protesting against 10 years ago when there were 40 trucks a day. She said no one then had imagined the impact they now felt with 200 truck movements a day to and from the quarry.

“This daily onslaught has devastated once peaceful hinterland communities, put resi-

dents’ mental and physical safety at risk and threatens many small local businesses,“ she said.

“The community wants the quarry and government to know that they all need to be safe. They want the meeting to take their community and other local business fears and concerns seriously when they are making any final decisions.“ Ms Bolton said the volume of trucks had increased and the road was disintegrating rapidly. She has spoken to Main Roads to say

a larger solution, not a patch up job was required.

“I have lived in the Noosa electorate for 30 years and I know this road very well,“ she said. “It was once an open country road which was an enjoyable experience for motorists - but more traffic and greater truck activity means it’s now more dangerous than before. We have to make sure the road surface can stand the traffic burden, and that drivers are doing the right thing.“ Kin Kin resident Brooke Fehlberg said she had a near miss on her way to the protest with her young daughters.“As I came around the corner a truck was half way over on my lane,“ she said. “You have to swerve out the way and with the kids in the car it gets very scary. That’s a regular occurrence. It’s a nailbiting ride most days.“ Brooke said in addition to the dangerous roads the noise of the trucks was like “thunder all the time“.

Resident Stephen Hilditch said it made a nonsense of the Noosa biosphere.

“The biosphere is man living with nature,“ he said. “With trucks like that it’s unsafe, it’s unhealthy.“ 12465038-HL42-20

Free buses at Christmas cil’s Covid safety team and input from Tourism Noosa, Noosa Chamber of Commerce, the Transport Strategy Steering Group and Hinterland business and residents association.

Over the 2019/20 six week Christmas holidays there were more than 245,000 passenger trips on the Council funded free holiday buses which included five existing TransLink services, 064 Peregian Shuttle bus and the 065 Go Noosa Loop Bus. The daily average of about 5,800 passengers was estimated to be about 30 per cent of visitors to the Hastings Street area.

It was also a 20% increase in public transport patronage from 2018/2019 which was itself a 40% increase in public transport patronage from 2017/2018.

Free Noosa Buses were seen as the key suc-

By Margaret Maccoll With Covid-restrictions easing Noosa Council looks set to approve its Go Noosa free bus service in the upcoming Christmas holidays, include a trial to promote the Noosa Ferry as an alternative mode of travel and include drop and go areas on Noosa Parade and Noosa Drive.

Council aim to provide the free bus service to the 065 Go Noosa Loop bus servicing Weyba Road, Noosa Parade, Hastings Street and Noosa Drive, 064, 626, 627, 628, 632 services and the Peregian Beach shuttle bus from the 12 December 2020 to the 26 January 2021.

If Covid-situations change the CEO will have authority to cancel, stand down or recommence the service on advice from Coun-

cess of all initiatives however, due to increasing public anxiety regarding public transport with reports of coronavirus being spread on public buses and confusion regarding the use of face masks, Council initially anticipated that there may be a significant change in willingness to utilise the Free Buses.

At Council’s General Meeting on Monday Cr Frank Wilkie said with Covid-restrictions and anxiety easing Council should reinstate the free bus service over the holiday period.

He said if the free buses carry only 50 per cent of passengers than experienced last year it would still deliver 120,000 passenger trips and reduce traffic congestion.

The Go Noosa program will include free buses, park and ride locations at Noosa AFL

grounds, The J car park and Noosa Transit centre at Noosa Junction, variable message signs, Go Noosa app, traffic controllers, wayfinding signs, paid parking at Noosa Heads Lions Park and the replacement of eight parallel parking spaces on Hastings Street with parking for loading zones, bicycle and scooters and footpaths.

New initiatives in the program include the active encouragement by Council to use Noosa Ferry as an alternative service and the addition of two temporary drop off zones on the western side of Garth Prowd bridge on Noosa Parade and at the top of the hill on Noosa Drive near the Reef Hotel.

Council will make a final decision on the Go Noosa program at its Ordinary Meeting on Thursday.

Teaching science of coastal erosion to six-year-olds The science behind the likely battering facing Queensland’s beaches this summer might be beyond your average six-year-old, but a USC academic wants to ensure proposed solutions to coastal erosion are not.

USC Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography Dr Javier Leon has invited two Prep children to help him assess whether his Coastal Geomorphology students keep their science talk simple when they make presentations tomorrow on potential ways to protect the region’s beaches.

Dr Javier Leon said it was a fitting time for his students to be studying coastal erosion, as the current La Nina climate pattern looks set to bring more flooding, storms and cyclones.

“We have just come out of a very quiet time in terms of storms but now we are entering what is predicted to be a very active period,” Dr Leon said.

“More storm events will impact on coastal areas and, with steadily rising sea levels, extreme events that used to be rare are happening more frequently.”

Dr Leon said the aims of the undergraduate course were for students to better understand coastal hazards and to present possible long-term sustainable solutions.

“Unfortunately, coastal erosion and sea level rise is going to get worse and there will come a day when current solutions, such as coastal armouring or beach nourishment, won’t be suitable or cost-effective,” he said.

Dr Leon said his six-year-old son Koa and Koa’s friend Marley would be in the audience to help informally assess the university students’ presentations.

“One of the most important skills for scientists nowadays is how to communicate science to the general public who will be affected by the changes we know are happening,” he said.

“With the state of misinformation, mistrust and fake news going around, it is essential that true science can cut through.

“My students’ challenge will be to explain it so that a six-year-old can understand and want to be part of the solution.”

Third-year Coastal Geomorphology students Peter Darvell, Lauren Campbell, Liesbeth Borburgh, Zane Panousley and Matthew Long have their work ‘judged’ by six-year-old guests Marley and Koa.

Lullabies for your baby

By Margaret Maccoll After working with Noosa singer/songwirter Kate Anbeek to arrange music for lullabies from around the world Alison Burnley will next week launch a program for mothers to sing folk lullabies to their newborns.

“Some of the music from different cultures is quite different to English,“ she said. “We have to simplify the tunes to make it easy for people. Some may not have sung before,“ she said.

“It will sound really beautiful.

“Mamas will learn folk lullabies from around the globe, singing to their newborns, creating sublime harmonies, unearthing their creativity and offering a much-needed opportunity to connect with new mums.”

Alison has long been involved in creating “experiential and ceremonial works that provoke the mind and awaken the senses”.

She has worked as a youth theatre director, studied Community Theatre at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and co-founded multidisciplinary community arts organisation, Inside Out Arts.

Alison has worked as a producer for the BBC, a community engagement manager at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and since moving to Australia in 2013 has worked on the programming team at The Edge at State Library of Queensland and produced work for Woodford Folk Festival, BrisAsia and Brisbane Festival.

This is not Alison’s first venture involving mothers and babies.

When she became a mother she wondered how she could use her skills as an artist to support new mums and celebrate their journey of motherhood.

So Alison began training as a postpartum doula, a non-medical role to support mothers after childbirth and The Mama Circle Sunshine Coast was born.

Mums will be connecting to sing folk lullabies to their babies.

“The Mama Circle provides postpartum doula services alongside creative projects for new mamas,” she said.

The Lullaby Ensemble will run for six weeks at the Birth and Baby Village, Noosaville.

Alison has secured funding through Noosa

Council and Arts Queensland’s Regional Arts Development Fund to pilot the project.The two hour, weekly sessions will also include time for meditation, meeting other mamas and sharing a nourishing morning tea. The project runs for six weeks and costs just $12

a session to cover the costs of refreshments.

There are limited spaces still available. To book your place, please visit www.themamacirclesunshinecoast.com/lullabyensemble or by visiting the Facebook page @mamacirclesunshinecoast

Council makes surprise call on Cooroy medical centre

By Margaret Maccoll In an uncommon move a majority of Noosa councillors defied staff recommendations to refuse a development application wanting to remove a heritage character building in Cooroy and instead voted to approve it to make way for the construction of a medical centre.

The proposed development will reconfigure four lots into two lots fronting Maple and Myall streets in Cooroy.

Following a lengthy debate at Council’s General Meeting on Monday councillors Clare Stewart, Amelia Lorentson, Karen Finkel and Tom Wegener voted in favour of the applicant for the Maple Street development despite strong staff recommendations it was

not consistent with the Noosa Plan 2006 in not protecting the heritage character building nor complementing the traditional country streetscape. The development application was also contrary to the 2020 Noosa Plan which seek to protect heritage qualities and streetscape character, staff said.

Cr Finkel said application for the medical and radiology centre proposed for location across the road from Eden Private Hospital was consistent with the needs of the community.

Cr Brian Stockwell argued that to object to staff recommendations would be objecting to the Noosa Plan. “We are statutorily obliged to follow the planning scheme,” he said.

Cr Frank Wilkie also supported staff recom-

mendations, saying Noosa’s different look and feel had resulted from the planning scheme.

“We’ve worked hard to preserve our heritage towns,” he said.However Mayor Clare Stewart said she stood against staff recommendations.

“This should be approved,“ she said. We should be jumping for joy they want to provide a medical centre to service the more than 7000 people in the area, she said.

You can’t do any more for the community than to provide access to lifesaving and radiology services.

Cr Stewart argued the proposed development was in keeping with the Maple Street precinct which already contained medical facilities and commercial premises.

Staff suggested the building be retained and adapted as a medical facility.

But Cr Amelia Lorentson pointed out the extent of modifications that would be required to adapt the character building into a medical and radiology facility and comply with National construction codes would be considerable.

“It’s not practical and it’s not reasonable,” she said.

“We are an ageing population with a need for healthcare services,” she said.

Staff were requested to rewrite council papers aimed at approving the development application for Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening when the final decision on the development would be made.

Bureau predicts more rain, floods The Bureau of Meteorology has released its Severe Weather Outlook for October to April, showing an increased risk of flooding for eastern Australia and tropical cyclones in the north, with roughly average potential for heatwaves and severe thunderstorms.

The current La Nina is likely to bring more rain to eastern and northern Australia, with some drought affected areas already seeing rainfall deficiencies ease and water storage levels increase.

La Nina also suggests an earlier than normal arrival for the first rains of this year’s northern wet season and an earlier monsoon onset for Darwin.

While recent decades have seen a decline in the number of tropical cyclones in our region, Bureau climatologist, Greg Browning, said this summer is likely to buck that trend.

“On average Australia sees nine to 11 tropical cyclones each year, with four crossing the coast. With La Nina this year we are expecting to see slightly more tropical cyclones than av-

southwest Western Australia as forecast, the potential for more fire weather days there could increase.“ The Bureau’s General Manager of Decision Support Services, Sandy Whight, said the lower fire risk across much of Australia is no reason for complacency.

“Southern Australia is one of the most bushfire prone places in the world in any summer and it’s important to remember that, right across Australia, even short periods of hot and windy weather will raise the fire risk, so communities need to have their bushfire plans ready,“ she said.

“La Nina also brings more rain and increased humidity, which can mean fewer extreme heat days. But while heatwaves may not be as severe, the Bureau’s advice is that in southern areas they may last longer and be more humid - both of which can increase the risk to human health. Be sure to monitor the Bureau’s heatwave service, which provides information about the location and severity of heatwaves.“

By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Council’s first budget consultation was disappointing in only attracting 156 responses but did provide an indication of the community interest in not increasing rate charges but maintaining a standard of living.

At the Ordinary meeting on 18 June Council resolved to engage the community on budget spending, asking three questions online: 1. How the allocation of any additional funding should be prioritised if it becomes available through the financial year, 2. Where services/expenditure should be reduced if further budget reductions are required and 3. What was the preferred public consultation model for the 2021/22 budget process.

This consultation was undertaken via YourSay Noosa between 7-27 September 2020. While there were 156 responses received one submission from the Noosa Wedding Organisation requesting Council reduce the cost of wedding permits was supported by its 71 members.

The results indicated that respondents on average want any additional funding available invested in infrastructure such as roads, bridges and parks.

Respondents on average did not want to see any additional funds retained and the operating budget deficit reduced.

Respondents on average wanted delays in non-urgent capital works if Council’s budget position worsened with their least preference being an increase in general rates.In response to the third question respondents wanted community involvement in budget decisions with their preference for an online engagement tool to submit their response.

At Council’s General Meeting on Monday councillors unanimously voted in favour of continuing to gain community input in budget spending and to review technological options on recording input at a future council meeting.

Cr Joe Jurisevic said it was always good to get input but he would have liked to see a larger sample size and broader input.

Cr Frank Wilkie said he supported the use of technological tools to engage the community as well as hosting community workshops to gain feedback.

Cr Tom Wegener said his interpretation of responses was what he expected that people didn’t want services cut, wanted to maintain their standard of living and if there was more money it should be spent on roads and pathways.

“I see it as an egalitarian response,” he said. “Our standard of living is very important.”

erage, and the first one may arrive earlier than normal,“ Mr Browning said.

“Every northern wet season has had at least one tropical cyclone cross the Australian coast, so we can never be complacent. We know that cyclones can develop at any time throughout the tropical cyclone season, which runs from November to April,“ he said.

“This means that communities right across northern Australia need to stay be prepared now, and stay informed from the very start of the tropical cyclone season in October, right though until April.“ After the catastrophic fires of last summer, it’s a very different bushfire outlook this season, with average fire potential for most parts.

“This fire season we’re expecting wetter than average conditions in eastern and northern Australia, so long running large bushfires are less likely, however a wetter spring can lead to abundant grass growth, which could increase fire danger as it naturally dries during summer.“ “Meanwhile, if dry conditions continue in

Increase in air traffic Residents are noticing an increase in air traffic over areas previously never overflown since the new Sunshine Coast Airport runway opened.

Flight Path Forum (FPF) will address these concerns and others on October 24 at the Peregian Beach Community House.

Current October flight schedules list 13 passenger jet flights per week, but as COVID restrictions begin to ease, impacted communities can expect this number to grow to 17 to 18

flights, or more each day.

“Come along for an update on the Airservices Australia Post Implementation Review (PIR), what it means for the community and what you can do to help with the next steps,” FPF spokesperson Vivien Griffin said.

Four Covid-safe sessions, with a maximum of 40 participants at each hour-long session, will be held. Residents are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment.

“I absolutely encourage all concerned residents to attend to learn about the real opportunities the PIR provides to achieve better outcomes,“ Ms Griffin said.

“Especially those in the most affected areas such as Marcus, Castaways and Peregian Beaches, Coolum Ridges, Yandina Creek, Verrierdale, those around Lake Weyba and the hinterland communities.

“This is your opportunity to get involved and learn how everyone can contribute to

achieve better outcomes, in the most effective way.”

Noosa councillors push for flight path fairness Noosa councillors voted unanimously to provide $5000 to Flight Path Forum toward the commissioning of an independent study into alternate Sunshine Coast flight paths.

At their General Meeting on Monday councillors also agreed to authorise Council’s CEO to make representations to Airservices Australia (ASA) on the flight paths proposed review to ensure the process is fair, robust and allows genuine opportunities for the community to influence the outcome of the review. Both these recommendations are to be ratified at Council’s Ordinary Meeting Thursday evening.

ASA have committed to undertaking a post-implementation review (PIR) of Sunshine Coast Airport flight paths in response to the recommendations of the Aircraft Noise Ombudsman (ANO).

The ANO released its report in April 2020 entitled “Investigation into Complaints about the Introduction of New Flight Paths in Sunshine Coast” that was scathing of ASA’s processes and consultation.

Council heard the scope and process to be used in the PIR will be the subject of a terms of reference that were key to ensuring it was undertaken in a fair and proper manner.

Council’s CEO and community group representatives engaged with ASA to provide input into the terms of reference at a community engagement session on 19 September.

The CEO reported ASA acknowledged that it had a “trust deficit” with the community based on its community engagement processes to date and committed to working more closely with the community through this post implementation review.

ASA received significant feedback at that meeting about what the terms of reference

Sunshine Coast new runway should look like and how they should be developed.

They took on board a number of principles provided by the community groups and undertook to draft a community engagement plan as part of the terms of reference process and to consult with the community on this.

One of the most critical elements of the

post-implementation review will be the opportunity for community suggested alternative flight paths to be considered.

Flight Path Forum are proposing to commission an independent consultant at a cost of $20,000 to develop a number of potential flight path alternatives which could be considered in this process.

Macadamia nut plants survive recent fires USC-led research in Bulburin National Park, between Bundaberg and Gladstone, has recorded 83 per cent survival of the wild population of an endangered native macadamia nut plant, following the 2019-20 summer bushfires.

Associate Professor of Vegetation and Plant Ecology Alison Shapcott said the results were encouraging for the conservation of the Bulburin nut, Macadamia jansenii, with many plants already resprouting on the burned rainforest sites.

The Macadamia jansenii is one of the Top 30 priority threatened plant species targeted

by Australia’s threatened species strategy for 2020. It is the most northern macadamia plant and related to the commercial species, but its nuts are not edible.

Dr Shapcott has led recovery efforts and research on the species since 2007.

Eight months after last summer’s fire season, she led a team from USC, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Gidarjil Traditional Owners and the Macadamia Conservation Committee to assess the plants.

“A large area of rainforest burned during that season, including some of the recently discovered sites for Macadamia jansenii. Fortunately, the fire did not reach as far as the original known area,” she said.

“In our pre-fire census, 200 wild plants including seedlings were recorded from a very small area within the park.

“From the post-fire survey, we can confirm that 83 per cent of the wild population has survived. Of the sites that were burned, 77 per 10 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 October, 2020

Since the CEO prepared this report to Council, ASA have published a draft terms of reference.

They are currently being reviewed by the CEO who is consulting with Flight Path Forum and will co-ordinate a submission back to ASA. Feedback on the draft terms of reference are due by 1 November 2020.

Paramedics responded to Moorindil Street at 9.49pm to meet the man who sustained the deep burns at another location on Monday 12 October.

He was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition with a critical care paramedic on board.

This Macadamia Jansenii is reshooting from the base after it was burned. cent of the plants survived.

“Some of the mature trees that were feared to have died have started resprouting from the base and most of the deaths were of seedlings and very small plants. Only three mature adult plants were killed by the fires.”

The survey was part of the Queensland Department of Environment and Science Bushfire Recovery Program and supported by the Australian Government’s ‘Bushfire recovery

package for wildlife and their habitat’.

Dr Shapcott estimated that nine percent of the fire-impacted plants would remain vulnerable to bushfire for at least another year while the resprouts established.

“We are hoping for good rain this spring and summer to promote growth and the future resilience of the Bulburin nut populations,” she said.

Dr Shapcott has been researching the population genetics and ecology of rainforest plants since 1985.

Paramedics attended the scene of a two-car crash on the Sunshine Motorway which occurred around 6.03pm on Wednesday 7 October.

Llew’s budget breakdown Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien has welcomed the Federal Government’s Economic Recovery Plan.

Under the plan, taxpayers in Wide Bay will receive a tax cut backdated to 1 July this year.

People in receipt of the age pension, disability support pension, carer payment, family tax benefit, family tax benefit lump sum, double orphan pension, carer allowance, Commonwealth seniors health card, pensioner concession card and veteran card will also receive a $250 payment in December this year and another in March 2021.

“This means more money in the pockets of local households to assist with the cost of living, but also to help generate economic activity and create jobs,” Mr O’Brien said.

Since the onset of the pandemic, the Government has provided $257 billion in direct economic support to cushion the blow and strengthen the recovery.

The 2020-21 Budget commits a further $98 billion including: $25 billion in direct COVID-19 response measures and $74 billion in new measures to create jobs.

“We’re supporting Australians to get back to work and businesses to rebuild, grow, and create jobs,” Mr O’Brien said.

This Budget is also investing a record amount in skills and training to make sure Wide Bay job seekers have the skills they need to get a job.

“We are also further assisting first home buyers and the construction sector by extending the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme to another 10,000 places and providing an additional $1 billion of low-cost finance to support the construction of affordable housing,” Mr O’Brien said.

Tax relief for Wide Bay businesses includes allowing 99 per cent of businesses to deduct the full cost of depreciable assets in the year they are installed.

The Budget includes funding of $2,307,810 through the Financial Assistance Grants program to the Noosa Shire Council in the 202021 financial year to be spent on the council’s priorities.

Noosa Shire Council will also receive $790,346 funding from the Roads to Recovery program to improve local road networks.

The Budget confirms the Government’s $800 million commitment to the four-lane Bruce Highway Cooroy to Curra Section D

B project at Cooran and $463,661 for the $1,527,322 upgrade of the Wahpunga Lane bridge at Kin Kin.

“Also, the overdue overtaking lanes at Tinana which were announced in 2018 and stalled under the Queensland Labor Government will finally start with a $14,046,955 allocation in the Budget.

“There is an allocation of $1,980,000 from the Australian Government towards the Tiaro bypass but I am continuing my work with Denis Chapman and the LNP for a much needed four-lane bypass to improve safety and

relieve congestion along this section of the Bruce Highway.

“The Coondoo Creek bridge on the Tin Can Bay Road will be completed with a payment of $2,600,000 in the 2020-21 Budget.

The Morrison Government is contributing $5,000,000 towards the State project which the Queensland Labor Government should have funded and completed long ago.”

CAMPAIGN NOTES MARK DENHAM | JAMES BLEVIN

Sandy’s plan for Noosa

By Phil Jarratt Sandy Bolton only knows two speeds: flat-out and sauv blanc sunset. Fortunately, we’re into the latter when we meet on her sun-sprinkled deck looking through the trees to a quiet stretch of the Noosa River, and the energetic MP for Noosa is ready to take half an hour to reflect on the campaign so far.

Can you tell us about where you live?

We [Sandy, her partner bowls legend Ian “Shoey” Schuback and rescue dog Jet] had to leave our forever home of 27 years at Cooroibah and downsize because we we’re never there. We’ve moved into a place that gives us enormous peace and happiness, amongst the kookaburras and the ‘roos on the North Shore. I’m a Piscean but I haven’t lived waterside since I was a kid, so now the moment I drive onto the ferry and look at that glistening water becalms me.

Why have you decided to run again for Noosa?

Simply because we have amazing momentum, which is invaluable. What we’ve achieved and will continue to achieve, the partnerships made, the relationships within and with all levels of government, is irreplaceable. We’ve come out of an emergency and made a significant recovery, and now we are in thrive mode.

We’ve done a lot of work to put us in this place, including through the business roundtable which we set up at the beginning of Covid.

The opportunities now are incredible. This is my and my family’s home, and this is where I’ll die. I want to make sure that we are in a position of strength and surety way beyond this pandemic.

Sandy at campaign HQ. Politics is a lifestyle of highs and lows, as you know, having lost the mayoral race in 2016, then coming back a year later to win the State seat as Noosa’s first true independent. How do you handle those ups and downs?

I consider Noosa my family, so it’s not about me winning or losing. This election is part of a much longer journey for all of our community.

When I lost the mayoralty, it was the voice of the people, and I accepted that. It’s the same

now. Our residents will always decide what’s best for them, and I have full faith in that.

What makes this election different from any other?

The physical restrictions on campaigning make it very difficult. There is nothing like the energy that comes from a gathering of good people with good intent. As everyone knows, I’m a hugger, and not being able to do that is really hard, especially when people are hurting.

The other difference is that the majority are predicted to vote postal or pre-poll with perhaps only 20 percent voting on election day.

It’s shifting sands. So far there seems very little interest in the election because the focus is on borders and reconnecting with loved ones.

Which is an election issue.

It is now, but it might not be come the election with the November 1 date in the air. Those interested want to know what the policies are right now, so it’s changed the timing of communications. That applies to the Electoral Commission also as we still do not know answers to many of our questions surrounding pre-poll etiquette.

Isn’t it weird that the situation we’re in dictates that people have to make their voting decisions earlier than normal, but the volatility of the situation also means that the information they need to make their decision is changing every day?

The shifting sands are challenging, but we’re fortunate in Noosa regarding our Covid recovery. We’ve seen property prices sky-rocket, however this is contributing to our crisis in affordable rentals for our workers. Tourism has recovered to a degree because Noosa is known to respond well to a crisis, and we were the only place in Queensland to initiate a Covid business roundtable, for example. And now that Queenslanders and interstaters are questioning whether they need to go back to the office after working remotely, we are seeing that Noosa is where they want to resettle, and why wouldn’t they?

CAMPAIGN NOTES RHONDA PRESCOTT | SANDY BOLTON What are the important issues for Noosa?

If we are talking in relation to Covid, our businesses are looking for surety that as we recover we don’t have setbacks, and that includes the issue of getting staff back. Reports that property prices have been pushed up is amplifying that issue. Our previous heavy reliance on 457 visa holders also puts us in a precarious position. For our businesses and our community to thrive, we need staff, and that means affordable accommodations. Our newly formed Project Action Group is looking at options, for example whether any smaller resorts who are projecting lower occupancy for another year, may transition into longer term tenancies. The question here is do we need to build it, or can we repurpose to create space?

Commercial tenancies are another issue, and we don’t quite know how that will play out at this time while we work with our Commissioner, but the idea that all commercial landlords are wealthy simply isn’t true. Some may be carrying big mortgages and are unable to help tenants into the future. One thing we can all be doing, and this applies across the state, is buying local rather than sending money outside the community.

But what about people in the street? What are they most concerned about?

Mostly they are asking when. When will we have surety? When does this end? It doesn’t matter what age group we’re talking about, they may have different reasons but they’re all asking when?

And how does the independent MP for Noosa answer that?

Government I see is a reflection of the collective feeling, and part of that is the transition from when to how. In other words, what do we do if there is no vaccine for a long time, how do we work around that? It may be that if someone gets the virus, we hunker them and

Some of our elderly residents have said they are feeling bad that precautions taken for them are affecting their families and the community, and that it’s time for their children and grandchildren to be allowed to get on with it. The word on the street, and via my inbox, is that locking down whole states moving for-

Picture: SUPPLIED ward is unsustainable, and that this is something they fear.

Why should the people of Noosa vote for you?

They know that every single day in every single way, I put them first and foremost. I work hard and take on board all viewpoints, research objectively, and in doing that I say what needs to

be said, without blame or needing to cover for someone. That’s something MP’s with major parties unfortunately are not in a position to do. I am unashamedly Noosa-centric, without any allegiance other than to this community.

And as an Independent I work with all sides at all levels. A huge benefit for Noosa in getting done what’s needed to be done.

Kids screen time coach IT’S a global problem.

Parents right across the world face the same challenge to get kids active, to avoid a range of health issues - but also to stop the never-ending arguing and fighting over time spent on computers, games, phones and other screen devices.

There are systems such as activity trackers to control time allowed, but there has never been a system that answers the problem using the language of the kids themselves - until now.

ScreenCoach - is right here in Noosa, and it will hit the global market in 2021.

It’s the brainchild of Gary Borham, who relocated to Noosa from Melbourne 18 months ago, and who is extensively trialling his creation out of the Startup Precinct in Lanyana Way, Noosa Junction.

“My wife said she would only buy an activity tracker if it turned off all the other devices in this house,” Gary said.

“I thought, what a great idea; imagine how much movement a kid does if it equals a certain amount of time. Once the time elapses, devices get blocked and allows kids to get outside and more active.”

Gary said ScreenCoach was like an electronic version of a star system on the fridge door, “but what’s clever is with our system if your kid empties the dishwasher for example, they earn (say) five minutes (of screen time) but if they empty it without being nagged to do it they might get 10 or 20 minutes”.

He described life for parents as “Groundhog Day which actually wears them down: whose shoes are these; whose turn is it to empty the dishwasher; have you done your piano practice, cleaned your room”.

“We’ve spoken to a family in Noosa; they have to put the gaming console and modem under their mattress. Not their bed - their mattress - when they go to bed,” he said.

Gary Borham and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton “If it’s underneath the bed the kids will come and get it. It’s addiction.”

The system allocates rewards of time onscreen, and teaches kids there is reward and bonuses for co-operating in household chores or taking exercise for example.

“It’s also ‘game-ified’ so as you go up to different levels, you earn more for the same activities. So today’s ‘500 steps’ might earn six minutes, but after a few weeks it could be more.

“This is speaking to kids in their language.”

Gary said he was impressed by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton’s commitment to start-up businesses in the local region.

“I met Sandy at another launch. Talking to her I said start-ups were a fledgling industry here,” he said.

“She said ‘not at all’. And I’ve since found that’s true.

“I’ve done some work with the guys at the Peregian Hub, and we’ve got these guys here.

There is a community of people I’ve met here who’ve got companies in Silicon Valley who live right here in Noosa.

“There is this community here - Sandy’s a connector - an open door of support and a step towards meeting the right people.”

There’s plenty of interest in ScreenCoach, Gary said, including a once-sceptical friend and self-made IT genius who retired in his mid-30s, Pete Kakris, who has become a partner; they’ve both sunk $50,000 into the project.

“Some friends, family and fans have put in another $200,000, he said.

“The Federal Government has given us

$300,000 in Business Entrepreneurs funding, and that’s now been dollar-matched so we’ve raised another $300,000 - so from a little idea 18 months ago we’ve put together $900,000.”

The devices are being made “round the corner here in Noosa”, and all the support services are locally sourced, Gary said.

Tech giants Sony and Samsung have provided advice and are looking closely at it, he added.

Another round of fundraising is underway ahead of the 2021 launch, with $120,000 already raised and Gary said investors - which now includes the Startup Precinct’s owner can visit ScreenCoach’s website (www.myscreencoach.com) for more information.

“And parents are invited to take trials - they can (also) get details from the website,” he said.

Anglican men of Noosa enjoy the first informal lunch for 2020 at the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club.

Anglican men of Noosa enjoy lunch Fifty six men lunched at the refurbished Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club last Thursday in the first informal lunch this year.

The guest speaker was the new Rector, The Rev’d Chris Johnson who was appointed to the Anglican Church of Noosa on 1 July 2020.

Due to the Covid restrictions he was unable to conduct services at the three centres of the parish - St. Andrew’s, Sunshine Beach, St. Mary’s Tewantin or at St. Andrew’s Anglican

College, Peregian Springs.

Both he and his wife, The Rev’d Lynda Johnson, Associate Minister, ran online services for many weeks before restrictions were eased and normal services resumed with restricted numbers.

The Rev’d Johnson was born in Brisbane and after completing primary and secondary years he completed his Bachelor of Business at QIT (now Queensland University of Technology).

He worked as a youth officer before joining ANZ Bank. He also worked in Esanda Limited a subsidiary of the bank. He attended Ridley College, Melbourne to study for the ministry.

Connecting Noosa A new initiative called Connecting Noosa gets underway this week in a bid to bring people together after a tough year of bushfires and COVID-19.

Connecting Noosa is a suite of free community activities around the shire, giving residents the opportunity to engage, socialise and participate in a COVID-safe environment.

The first of the free activities starts on October 14.

Community Development Manager Alison Hamblin said Connecting Noosa was aptly named.

“We really are focused on connecting the Noosa community again.

“It’s been a challenging year after battling the bushfires and then navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic, so we thought it was the ideal time to roll out this initiative to bring the community together at a time when restrictions are easing,” she said.

There are a number of free planned activities taking place including yoga, heritage walks, Tai Chi and tech talks.

“The program will run through until the end of March next year and there is a full timetable in place with activities and events changing every month.

“This really is a fantastic opportunity for people to reach out to neighbours, friends, family and colleagues and get them along to these Connecting Noosa activities.

“The activities are all free but you do have to register online for the activities you’d like to do so we can control numbers and remain COVID-safe,” Ms Hamblin said.

The timetable will change on a monthly basis and can be viewed at www.noosa.qld.gov. au/connecting-noosa

Tai Chi is among the activities included in the Connecting Noosa program.

Domestic violence is everyone’s business Domestic and family violence is everybody’s business and Queenslanders have had their say on the great work of individuals, businesses and corporations who have made it theirs.

More than 130 individuals and organisations from across Queensland have been inducted onto Queensland’s first Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Honour Roll.

Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Di Farmer said the Honour Roll had received 175 nominations from Cunnamulla to Cairns.

“Domestic and family violence is everybody’s business because as Queenslanders we look after each other,” Ms Farmer said.

“The Honour Roll recognises Queenslanders walking the talk in the prevention of domestic and family violence in their communities and businesses.

“Every nominee is working hard to create

a Queensland free from domestic and family violence.

“Every nominee deserves the thanks of Queenslanders for helping to build a safer state from the border to the Cape.”

Ms Farmer said many of the nominations included inspiring and heart wrenching stories.

“Lloyd and Sue Clarke, the parents of Hannah Clarke, were nominated for their tireless and courageous work in setting up the Small Steps 4 Hannah Foundation,” Ms Farmer said.

“In February, the entire nation was horrified by the sickening murder of Hannah and her three gorgeous children in suburban Camp Hill by a controlling and violent ex-partner.

“The Clarke family’s heartbreak inspired the Small Steps 4 Hannah Foundation to encourage Queenslanders to make domestic and family violence everybody’s business.

“While Queensland’s first Domestic and

Family Violence Prevention Honour Roll has recounted tragedy, it has also revealed the remarkable and inspiring.

“Among the extraordinary is John Siaki, a home removalist who is helping people escape dangerous domestic violence situations.

“After witnessing a disturbing family violence incident, John decided to put his team and removal truck to work collecting the belongings of women and children leaving violence.

“Siaki and Sons’ precision removal operation begins once the perpetrator is away from home to eliminate the risk of further conflict.

“Congratulations to all 134 inductees of the inaugural Honour Roll for helping to ensure domestic and family violence has no place in Queensland.”

Council set to deliver projects Infrastructure will take the biggest slice of the pie when Noosa Council hands out more than $225,000 in Community Project Grants this month.

If approved by Council almost $115,000 in grants will be provided to 10 projects including the construction of a car park for CWA Cooroy, a bar at the Majestic Theatre, Pomona and a deck for Youturn.

There will be about $80,000 spent on equipment for 19 community groups.

Among the items earmarked for purchase is a remote controlled life ring for the Coast Guard and a new turf mower for the Cooroy Eumundi Cricket Club.

Programs will receive $20,000 and Events will receive the least amount of funding this year with only $11,000 being awarded to three events.

The Anywhere Festival will receive $7,500, the Australian Body Art Festival will gain $1500 and ARTiculate will be allocated $2000.

Council staff recommend this will be the only Community Project Grant round this year instead of the usual two.

Due to Covid-19 the initial 2020/2021 round in April was halted and Disaster Resilience and Recovery Grants were devised and approved in May, although the Environment Project Grant process continued.

This round of Community Project Grant received 49 applications requesting more than $530,000.

An assessment panel made up of Council staff is recommending 35 Community Project applications receive $225,971.28 funding from the Community Project Grants fund.

At Council’s Services and Organisation Committee Meeting on Tuesday Council heard applications needed to meet various criteria to be eligible.

One of the keys to success was for applicants to consult with one of Council’s community development officers prior to submitting applications.

Council officers said grants were highly competitive and applications needed to tick all the boxes. External grants may be available to some applicants that were unsuccessful in obtaining Council grants, they said.

Following endorsement of this report, grant applicants will be notified of the outcomes. Funding to successful project grant applicants will be distributed in October 2020 providing they have no outstanding debt to Council and they have met any relevant funding conditions.

Queensland is poised to take another bold step in aerospace and advanced manufacturing with a historic opportunity to be the final production home for unmanned defence aircraft - the first military aircraft to be designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia in more than 50 years.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said a visionary new partnership with Boeing Australia means more high-skilled jobs, local supply opportunities and defence industry stimulus as Queensland continues to recover and grow from the COVID downturn.

“The creation of additional new aerospace capability could see unmanned defence aircraft produced here by the middle of the decade, with prototype testing and certification taking place before that,” the Premier said.

“We are carrying out our plan to recover and grow, including into new industries, and it’s very important that we do that not just as a government but with key partnerships.

“The unmanned teaming aircraft is Boeing’s first military aircraft to be designed and developed outside the U.S and uses artificial intelligence to extend the capabilities of manned and unmanned platforms.”

The first aircraft prototype, called the Loyal Wingman was unveiled with the Royal Australian Air Force in May this year.

Treasurer Cameron Dick said the Boeing partnership demonstrated the Palaszczuk Government’s commitment to advanced manufacturing.

“Boeing has 1700 staff in Queensland and supports 400 Queensland-based suppliers.“ Boeing Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific president Brendan Nelson said the partnership with the Queensland Government to develop an advanced manufacturing capability was a significant milestone for the company.

Race to zero emissions Schools across the Noosa Shire are utilising their real time energy data to learn about energy efficiency through Zero Emissions Noosa’s exciting initiative Race to Zero.

The program utilises a mix of direct curriculum teaching with week by week lesson plans and a gamified approach which shows students how their real time energy decisions impact on emissions.

ZEN President Vivien Griffin said, “Schools are high energy consumers and the chance to curb wasteful energy use is important to the goal of reducing emissions across Noosa shire.”

“The lessons learnt in school are taken home making this a highly valuable project for household back pockets as well as school bottom lines.”The program provides students with access to their real-time energy data via www.solarschools.net and the Planet Watch APP. Participating schools have access to their energy consumption and solar production data for use in the maths and science curriculum. The program engages students through a detailed look at how their real energy decisions at school impact on consumption and emissions.

Exploring the data in the classroom is an exciting way to bring life to the classroom education. Participating schools include Noosaville, Tewantin, Federal, Sunshine Beach, Kin Kin and Cooroy Primary schools as well as Sunshine Beach and Noosa District High. Involvement is free of charge to all Noosa Shire schools.

Funded by the Noosa Council’s Environmental Grant schools are invited to participate and access free training sessions and classroom education. ZEN’s call is to curb wasteful energy behaviours and give meaning to the energy curriculum through real time data.

Dui’s Boom Shankar life Boom Shankar launches their summer Island Life collection by celebrating some incredible friends and colleagues within the Boom community - of diverse ages, genders and cultural backgrounds, with a special focus on Pacific Island culture within Australia.

Continuing Boom Shankar’s philosophy of cross-cultural cooperation and inspiration, the brand is harnessing the power of their social media to shine the spotlight on the valuable contribution Pacific Islander culture makes to life in Australia. The summer campaign will feature a range of talented artists, musicians, chefs, performers and journalists with Pacific Island heritage.

Designer and founder Dui Cameron said throughout the last 26 years of designing Boom and living between Australia and India, where the brand began, she’d always been inspired by a great diversity of cultures across the world and the amazing stories and people she’d met along the way.

“I feel fashion has huge potential to bring people together and make positive change in the world, so I wanted to use our social networks, blog and weekly email newsletters to really connect communities and give people the chance to see the world through others’ eyes,” Dui said.

“Sometimes you can listen to a person’s story, and their experiences and ideas can touch you in a way that changes your perspective, influencing how you live your life. I want Boom Shankar to be a place where a wide range of stories are told. The clothes are really just a fantastic way to engage people.“ The Pacific Island inspiration for Boom Shankar’s summer collection came from designer Dui Cameron’s first meeting with model and muse Demi McCallum.

Demi has a diverse background, raised in Australia with a Samoan father who grew up in New Zealand and a Scottish and Austrian mother. Enchanted by Demi’s sunny personality and stories about her recent journey back to Samoa to connect with family, Dui started to design the collection with Demi in mind.

While the pair initially planned to head to Samoa to shoot the collection together, COVID-19 meant they instead explored the riches of the Sunshine Coast’s beaches and hinterland, with Dui turning her attention to the wealth of Pacific Islander talent and contributions to Australian culture closer to home.

“What started as a setback, being unable to leave the country, turned into a huge opportunity. I realised that so many of the artists, musicians and community workers I admire have Pacific Islander heritage and so the idea was hatched to develop a way to share their talents with our Boom Shankar community,” Dui said.

As the summer collection launches throughout the next few months, Boom Shankar’s social media and blog will become a platform connecting the Boom community to a wide range of First Nations, Pacific Islander creatives, foodies and spokespeople, with regular content sharing recipes, music, art, and more. Boom Shankar will also be diving into the important cultural roles of Fa’afafine Samoans, people of non-binary gender, as Tommy Misa and Ella Ganza share their stories and art.

Andrea Kirwin wears the palm shirt.

Musician and potter Ofa Fanaika reflects on her personal story and Tonganese upbringing saying, “My connection to Island culture is everything that is me, my name, my birthplace, my ancestors, my way in the world, the lens I look through, the lens in which I’m often judged by, my spirituality and connection to the sea.”

Also featuring in the summer Island Life campaign, Brisbane-based guitarist Brandon Mamata reflects that his Solomon Island heritage may be the birthplace of his musical style.

“I would say my sense of rhythm was born from my experience with Island culture. Many of the foundations of my musical senses stem from my time within Islander communities both here and in the Solomon Islands.”

“We have got so much to share this season, including songs with talented Australian-Fijian musician Andrea Kirwin, who has just opened a music space in Nambour; fermented and native bush foods with Mikkeline Olsen; and Polynesian dancing with Heimana and Leilani Tahiata who have Maori and Hawaiian roots.

It’s going to be a lot of fun!,” Dui exclaims.

Hearing Diverse Voices As well as celebrating Pacific Island creatives in Australia, Boom Shankar will be taking the time to consider what we can learn from Pacific Island culture and also address some of more difficult areas of our shared histories, which offers us valuable opportunities for learning about ourselves and Pacific Island nations and Australia’s First Nations people.

Melbourne-based Samoan/Australian music journalist Sosefina Fuamoli said it was very important to always be learning and to be proud of heritage.

Dui said she wanted to make sure we weren’t just cherry picking the sunnier aspects of Pacific Islander culture, and to make sure we also give voice to more challenging issues and painful histories. “On our Boom blog we’ll be interviewing Javier Leon about the negative impact of rising sea levels in the Pacific and also Janet Ambrose about her upcoming exhibition exploring the tragic history of enslavement that Pacific Islanders suffered in colonial Australia,“ she said. “We are also thrilled to be talking with Lyndon Davis, from the Sunshine Coast Gubbi Gubbi country, to learn more about local First Nations history.“ “For me, a lot of Island culture is about connection, family and sharing. Even just the little things like, no matter how little you’ve got there is always room for someone else at the table. What’s mine is everyone’s essentially.

There’s always room for someone else if they need to sleep, the house is always overflowing, but there’s always room for someone to stay,” tells Josie Kurukulie after reconnecting with her PNG roots, and meeting her biological father at the age of 25.

As part of this journey of sharing and learning, Boom Shankar is set to launch an in-house book club this summer - starting with Archie’s Roach’s book ‘Tell Me Why’. Sign up to the weekly newsletter to stay in the know or follow @boomshankarclothing.

Finn makes a big splash

By Abbey Cannan A fortuitous meeting in his hometown of Noosa set the wheels in motion for a local teen to make the move to Melbourne and pursue a career in sports media.

As an AFL fan growing up in Queensland, Finn Blake realised Victoria was the place to be.

Growing up in a football family, he felt as though his connection to the sport always allowed him to keep a connection to where he was born, Melbourne.

“I have a huge passion for football,“ Finn said. “While my schoolmates would be playing rugby, I would always be in the backyard kicking the footy with my dad.“ The passion to stay connected is what landed the Noosa student with his dream job.

“I spent my weekends during high school working at Betty’s Burgers on Hastings Street,“ Finn said. “As an avid Collingwood fan in a rugby-centric state, I would always look forward to holiday times when I could discuss footy with the tourists from Melbourne.

“One day a gentleman wearing a Carlton cap walked past the restaurant and piqued my interest. I caught his attention and we began discussing our hatred for each other’s football teams. He wanted to help me out, as I’d mentioned to him that my dream was to work in the AFL media industry. He kindly passed on a contact at a company in Melbourne, which resulted in a meeting just a month later, while I was halfway through Year 12.

“The meeting went well, although I realised I had a lot of work to do before I was able to even think about moving to Melbourne.“ Fast forward six months to January, and Finn had enrolled in tertiary study in Queensland.

However, the same contact from Melbourne was on holidays in Noosa at that time.

“He invited me to breakfast with his family and offered me an opportunity to work at his company,“ Finn said. “Two weeks later, I had

my bags packed and was on a plane to Melbourne, ready to work at McGuire Media, then a year later I started uni and joined the closeknit community on campus at Trinity College, where I’d meet some of my closest friends and extend my network even further.“ Finn said he always wanted to play AFL professionally.

“Once I realised I wasn’t talented enough to run out onto the MCG in a Collingwood guernsey, I knew I wanted to be part of the industry in some way,“ he said.

“Being in the media has provided me with the opportunity to connect to the sport in a way that I always wanted to.

“I have been privileged to be able to work on broadcasts that have been seen by millions of people.

“The people at McGuire Media have become such a large part of my life. It was rather daunting walking into an office at the age of 17 surrounded by so many accomplished and experienced people. However, these people were so willing to spend time with me and teach me about the industry.“ Since undertaking studies at the University of Melbourne at living at Trinity College, Finn has learned that life is all about a balance.

“It has been a great challenge to strike a balance between my professional career, university studies and college life at Trinity,“ he said.

“In many ways, I believe that they all complement each other in terms of allowing me to develop and mature.

“It’s been a period of growth since my return to Melbourne and that’s testament to the people who have guided me through my professional career so far.

“I look forward to continuing my media work, as well as integrating business into what I do. I want to continue developing my media skills so that one day I’m able to host my own show.“

Home-grown talent Finn Blake has made the move to Melbourne to pursue a career in sports media.

Dr Alice O’Hare, co-founder of Noosa District Animal Hospital in Rene Street.

Ask almost any pet owner in the Noosa region and they will likely know Dr Alice O’Hare, cofounder of Noosa District Animal Hospital in Rene Street.

UQ alumni Alice co-founded the iconic animal hospital 12 years ago followed by a practice in Peregian Springs and a second hospital in Maroochydore. All three practices are now owned by the well-regarded National Veterinary Care.

Keeping it in the family, it was older sister Bridget who helped Alice get her start back in the day. Bridget’s family bought a cute little house in the emerging Rene Street industrial precinct and gained a Noosa Council MCU before renovation and fit out.

Now Bridget is selling the cash positive property through Tracey Ryan (0421 981 490) at Ray White Noosa.

The substantial 361 sq m building has multiple treatment rooms, overnight kennels, x-ray and surgical facilities and extensive car parking.

Cash-positive and with only the cutest of furry, fluffy and feathered as your tenants, which savvy investor could resist?

For sale by expressions of interest closing on Friday 6 November at 4pm.

We’re extending the JobKeeper Payment until 28 March 2021.

The Australian Government is extending the temporary JobKeeper Payment to the end of March 2021. From 28 September, businesses must meet the turnover test and submit their declarations by the 14th of each month.

There will be two new payment rates – one for those who work more than 20 hours per week in the relevant period, and another for those who work less. The employee eligibility date has also changed to 1 July, meaning some businesses could claim for more staff.

It’s part of our plan to keep business in business, and Australians in jobs.

Solution to Sunshine Coast pain Doctors are calling for the next State Government to boost pain management services, with more than half of the people with persistent pain on the Sunshine Coast unable to access care in the public system.

In an 11-Point Action Plan, released in the lead up to the October 31 state election, AMA Queensland is calling for $26m to boost local pain management services in Hospital and Health Services (HHS) across Queensland.

AMA Queensland President Dr Chris Perry said the State Government’s own data revealed that whilst there were over 60,271 people with persistent pain in the Sunshine Coast HHS area, 59 per cent of appointments for people with persistent pain were not provided due to lack of services.

“There is an urgent need to create new services and expand existing ones to meet the increasing need for pain management services,” Dr Perry said.

“Chronic pain is the most common and disabling condition in Queensland, costing the state economy about $27 billion a year.

“The Queensland Government’s own data reveals 1571 public patient appointments were needed for pain management in the Sunshine Coast HHS, but only 650 appointments were provided.

“It’s time for political parties to reveal how they will fix this problem.”

Pain management centres offer multidisciplinary treatment including physiotherapy, psychology, sleep therapy, occupational therapy and more for people suffering persistent, chronic pain.

Dr Perry said AMA Queensland was also calling for a review of how the management of pain was taught to doctors, nurses and allied health practitioners.

“Veterinarian students spend about 80 hours on average learning about the assessment and treatment of pain in animals but medical students only receive 4 - 16 hours to learn about it in people,” he said.

AMA Queensland Vice President Dr Bav Manoharan said AMA Queensland was calling on all political parties running in the October 31 election to respond to its 11-Point Action Plan - The Pathway to Better Health for Queenslanders so that doctors and patients could make an informed decision at the ballot box.

“We have called for $641m to improve the health care system for doctors, patients and the community at large,” he said.

“The challenge is now for those political parties seeking to become the next State Government in Queensland to reveal their vision for the future of healthcare.”

Dr Manoharan said the health system had been the centre of public attention during the COVID-19 pandemic and had responded well.

“Now, however, we must take advantage of that focus to ensure that areas of need are properly resourced and that the health system is led by clinical experts, who know what’s best for their patients,” he said.

“By adopting our priorities for patients, the community and doctors, the next state government could save billions of dollars and build a sustainable system that supports all Queenslanders to be among the healthiest people in the world.”

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW

SATURDAY

WIN, 8.30pm

VICTORIA ABC, 7.30pm

Exquisitely designed, with lavish costumes and many elegant bonnets, this historical series is a feast for the eyes. Season three begins tonight in 1848, when a heavily pregnant Queen Victoria (The Cry’s Jenna Coleman, pictured left) is shocked by two unexpected arrivals. Her half-sister Princess Feodora (Kate Fleetwood, Harlots) and the deposed French king, Louis Philippe (Vincent Regan), land on her doorstep seeking asylum. At the same time, the Chartist movement threatens the monarchy.

MONDAY

SAS AUSTRALIA SEVEN, 7.30pm

There’s no cash prizes and certainly no winners at the end of this star-studded reality slough. Seventeen celebrity recruits have volunteered for the Special Forces selection course, a process that will push them to their physical and mental limits, subjected to extreme endurance tests, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing. No allowances will be made for the status, age or gender in the gruelling course, led by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers. Former Bali inmate Schapelle Corby (pictured right) is frank about why she wants to take part in such an unpleasant experience: “I’ve been locked away for a very long time… I’m 43 now. I want to change my life.”

TUESDAY

THE UPSIDE OF DOWNS ABC, 9.30pm

Born a generation earlier, 39-year-old actor Julia Hales (pictured above), who lives with Down syndrome, might have been put into an institution. If she were born today, her mother would likely have discovered Julia’s condition in pre-natal screening and seriously considered a termination, despite the fact that life has never been better in developed countries for people with Down syndrome and their families. In this thought-provoking documentary, Julia wants to know what mothersto-be are thinking when faced with the prospect of having a child with Down syndrome. She also meets several families, while showcasing her diverse community and the value they bring.

Let’s face it, the abbreviated filmedat-home episodes of Graham Norton’s long-running talk show filmed earlier this year belong in a time capsule. While the exuberant host tried his best, they were no substitute for the real deal. For season 28, Norton is back in the studio with a socially distanced audience and a selection of guest stars, both in-person and virtual. The famous big red sofa is a thing of the past, with celebrity guests now separated in pods.

Joining Graham tonight is Hollywood star Ewan McGregor, dancer Ashley Banjo and music superstar Miley Cyrus, who will perform her new hit single Midnight Sky. Coomedian Graham Norton hosts The Graham Norton Show.

Lindsay Marshall showcases her natural art.

Studio Trail open to Shire If you’re artistically inclined or even if you’re not take a step out of your comfort zone, grab one of the Noosa Open Studios Art Trail guide books and roam the shire.

Painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography are among the mix of art on show in people’s homes, backyards and galleries from Peregian to Pomona and all areas roundabout until 18 October.

Last weekend we dropped in on a handful of Peregian Beach based artists.

Fish biologist Lindsay Marshall was finishing her PhD when her supervisor said they needed someone to paint every species of ray - would she be able to do it?

Six years and 1200 species later her work has been included in a book put together by CSIRO titled Rays of the World and her full time job became a natural history artist.

“It’s a dream job I never thought would happen. It turns out it has,“ she said.

Lindsay has since completed commissions and painted fish species for postage stamps.

Last week she held a painting workshop for Nature Art Lab in Canberra and she aims to host natural art workshops as both an artist and scientist.

Alison Comber had always had a love of bits and pieces. While in Belgium about six years ago she discovered ways in which she could combine her love of bits and pieces and her art and what has resulted is an ever expanding collection of fabulous robots.

Michele Rudder at Peregian Beach Community House.

Alison said Yandina markets provided her with many of her items and inspiration and she often combines a few pieces into a themed artwork.

“I’ve always been recycling things,“ she

said. At this year’s Open Studios Alison is showcasing her robots at her home. She is also selling her jewellery to raise money for Rural Aid and Queensland Rural Firefighters.

Goldring have brought their art together to showcase.

“We collaborate and share ideas,“ Rosie said.

Having both been artists for more than 20 years they decided for the first time this year to display their art as part of Noosa Open Studios.

At Peregian Beach Community House artists Michele Rudder and Sharon Jack have taken the opportunity to exhibit their large artworks on the walls of the community centre.

French-born Michele has only been painting for about three years but began drawing and creating art objects as a child.

“It was after war time when I was born,“ she said. “I always wanted plenty of things. We couldn’t afford them so I was drawing everything I wanted.“ In addition to her paintings Michele has produced books of her paintings that include the stories behind them.

For the past 10 years Sharon Jack has created contemporary landscapes, most of that time in the Pilbara District in Western Australia where she was sponsored by BHP Biliton.

When she and her husband moved to Noosa which was a return home for Sharon she discovered the Pilbara didn’t suit Noosa and so has developed a new abstract style.

Noosa Open Studios Art Trail provides locals and visitors with the unique chance to visit artists in their private studios. Whilst there, visitors can learn about the artists’ creative processes, see their work and perhaps make an investment in art. For more information visit noosaopenstudios.com.au

Building a tiny house

Tewantin State School teacher Rick Cass and students.

Noosa Office Choice raised awareness and funds for homelessness.

Homelessness Heroes Kylie Finigan from Noosa Council and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton. rough in our streets doesn’t mean our community is immune to the problem, and there is just not enough affordable accommodation available to us to help home our young people,” she said.

Anyone can experience homelessness with unplanned life events (health, job loss, family breakdown) putting many of us at-risk, and only a few small steps away from needing support or being homeless.

Youturn data shows the number of Australians aged 18 to 24 who experienced higher levels of housing stress increased threefold between April and May 2020, from 10.3 per cent to 27.5 per cent and young service industry employees have been hit hard by Covid-19 impacts.

Homeless persons often experience poor mental health, poverty, trauma, substance abuse, social isolation and are victims of crime. For more information or to donate visit www.youturn.org.au

Hannah attended Tewantin Primary then Sunshine Beach State High, dropping out of school at 15 when she experienced a complete breakdown of family relationships and mental health issues. She landed up living in a dilapidated party house with a group of youths, doing drugs and alcohol.

After six months and a few close calls, Hannah realised that she needed to get out and needed help.

Hannah was referred to Youturn (formerly United Synergies) and was accepted into their supported accommodation program where she lived for 12 months.

“Youturn gave me time to recover and process. I did not need to be nervous, on guard or weary or jump through people’s hoops,” she said “They offered me a safe place - a haven.

Youturn supported me with emotional counselling, teaching me about budgeting and even delivering food parcels when I could not make ends meet.”

After the year, Hannah met a guy, and soon after moving in fell pregnant. Unfortunately the relationship did not last but today she has a beautiful son - Harley, who is her reason for getting up each morning.

Hannah has consistently been employed since 2018, has a healthy lifestyle and has recently reached out to Youturn to help with their fundraising efforts.

“I feel lucky to have received the support I did, and I feel it’s important to give back and do what I can for someone else like me,” she said.

Last week in the lead up to World Homelessness Day on 10 October Tewantin community members swapped their work clothes for superhero suits and took on the challenge issued by Youturn Youth Services to raise money for homeless youth.

Youturn spokeswoman Antoinette Lloyd said all money raised by the Homelessness Heroes would go toward their project to raise $100,000 to build their first tiny house located in the Noosa Shire to provide transitional accommodation for people moving from homelessness to independence.

“There is a gap when they can struggle and need to gain additional support for three to six months,“ she said. “It will accommodate two young people or a mum and children to help put them back on their feet.” Since launching the project a couple of months ago they have raised about $10,000 and are in discussions with Noosa Council on locating a place for their tiny house, she said.

“Noosa-Sunshine Coast is a popular holiday destination, but a tough place to live for many young people to settle due to extreme housing costs, low average wages, social housing shortage and high rental competition,” she said. “Add to this, COVID-19 impacts of business closures, unemployment and health concerns, 2020 has seen more local people and particularly young people experiencing homelessness.”

Over the January-March 2020 quarter, 249 young people presented to Noosa-Sunshine Coast homelessness services.

What’s In A Name Phil Jarratt

Some signs of the times Roadside trivia

And the answer is...

We’re in the zone. the road trivia campaign, which is also nearly a decade old and has been adopted around the state after initial trials on the Bruce. I can see that this real life trivial pursuit actually works on keeping the driver’s mind and eyes active, if somewhat diverted from oncoming traffic.

But the main problem is that familiarity breeds contempt.

I not only know every question and answer between Gympie and Maryborough, but I can

tell you exactly where the prelude, question, answer and farewell signs are located. What I need is solar-powered, frequently-changing electronic trivia signs, and lots of them. Yes, it will cost a lot of money, but these days that doesn’t seem to matter, we can just print more.

Although I am only a humble journo on Australia’s best free weekly newspaper, I am optimistic that the state government will adopt my ambitious program to make Queensland

Australia’s most trivial state by banning Clive, Pauline, anyone called Katter and all the rest of the billboard polluters, and filling our highways with trivia e-signs.

We all know that Stanthorpe is the coldest place in Queensland and Gympie is famous for gold, so the questions need to be upgraded too, perhaps along the lines of Hard Quiz. But I can foresee a day, not far off, when we will all jump in our cars, alert and ready to drive all day and play HARD!

A bit of a departure this week, since the only street your What’s In a Name correspondent has been on is the Bruce Highway (named after Henry Adam Bruce, the Queensland Minister for Works when the first version was completed in the 1930s, in case you were wondering), slowly ambling south from Ayr in a stream of grey nomad motor homes.

The highway improvement roadworks continue apace almost everywhere, so there’s plenty of time to consider the variety of signs that pollute the view every couple of hundred metres. Being a motorist who doesn’t care what Clive says or what Pauline thinks, I could do without these eyesores - although I do note that at least they’ve thoughtfully taken Mr Palmer’s visage off the corporate yellow billboards - and I could also do without a particularly annoying run of variants on “Are we there yet, Dad?”.

There are dozens of these along the long, straight stretches between Mackay and Rockhampton, posing the age-old question from the bored kids in the back seat, and even answering them, as in, “Still two hours to Rocky, kids”, and so on. These signs are part of a decade-old road safety program to make you laugh or get you talking, anything to lift you out of a straight road stupor. But seriously, if you’ve got kids in the back driving you mad with it, do you really need to have your view of a perfectly good gum tree blocked by the sign version of it?

Olympic focus in Songs of Praise

By Ian Jobling With months before discussions begin on the Tokyo Games Olympic historian Ian Jobling suggests Olympic enthusiasts tune in to the ABC’s Songs of Praise 27 September program on iview featuring Lord Burghley which has been among topics in his regular Olympic Talks, as he discusses here.

The program features Burghley House and the nearby Stamford Anglican Church in Lincolnshire, England. The choral music is stunning, as is the voice a young soloist.

An added bonus for ‘Olympic-enthusiasts’ and/or those who have been advised of the ‘Spirit of Olympia” concert series, which was to be held in May 2020 but like the Tokyo Games has been deferred to 2021, a major theme is the history of Burghley House, originally built by Lord Cecil in the 1500s. A more recent family member and resident is the Lord David Burghley, Olympic gold medallist in the 400 Metre Hurdles at the Amsterdam Olympic Games in 1928.

Yes, 1928. You may recall the character ‘Lord Lindsay’ (played by Nigel Havers) in the film ‘Chariots of Fire’ about the 1924 Paris Olympics. Well, Burghley was unplaced in the 110m Hurdles in those Paris Games, but film producer David Putnam and director Hugh Hudson decided he would have the ’hurdler Lord Lindsay’ win that medal in 1924. (So much for historical accuracy) And there’s more. In this week’s ‘Songs of Praise’ feature, Nigel Havers actually recites 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 October, 2020

Burghley House a poem pertaining to running from the Bible, followed by modern adaptation of a hymn based on that passage from Isiah.

Of course, I am assuming everyone has seen the multi- BAFTA and -Oscar award-winning film! If not, there is no need to do so before watching this ‘Songs of Praise’.

Now for ‘Downton Abbey’. There is a most interesting interview with Sir Julian Fellowes, English actor, novelist, film director and screenwriter. More recently he has been acclaimed as the writer and executive producer of the multiple-award winning television series ‘Downton Abbey (2015) and the even more recent film (2019) with the same title.

So, I feel this week’s ‘Songs of Praise’ a most eclectic 30-minutes of ‘culture’ with, of course, a Christian theme is a beautifully presented scenic, historical, architectural treat with wonderful music.

For the first time the cohort of 103 students celebrated the event at school.

“It was a stand up function with canap¨¦s made by our new cafe,“ a spokeswoman said.

Students were treated to a red carpet arrival and mocktails at the Hollywood style event.

On The Soapbox NBRF chair Rex Halverson

Inside the biosphere Two years after taking on the voluntary role of chair of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Noosa Today chats with Rex Halverson.

Can you tell us briefly about yourself, what brought you to Noosa and why you took on the voluntary role?

I was born and raised in Southern California but my work has taken my family all over from the USA to the UK, Europe, Russia, China and finally Australia in 2008. As an expat my eldest enrolled in an International Baccalaureate program in England and wanted to continue in Australia. Landing in Maroochydore, we became involved in productions with the Noosa Arts Theatre and naturally fell in love with this place.

Having lived in Southern California I saw firsthand how an area can suffer from unbalanced development that robs the community of the very reason they wanted to live there in the first place. When the opportunity came to be involved in helping to progress a more sustainable approach in the Noosa Biosphere, I was determined to put my hand up.

NBRF has changed the way it operates now, can you briefly explain it’s role in the community and how it operates.

The NBRF is a not-for-profit organisation established by Noosa Council to enhance the biosphere reserve through research and projects that align with the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program. Our new model is to seek out projects and innovative ideas needing proof of concept research and/or seed funding and then search for funding.

While council continues to provide operational funding, and we can still apply for project funding, we are committed to finding external funds from a range of sources. Combined with in-kind contributions and project management, we’re able to deliver a high return on investment for the Noosa community.

Our new model of developing projects takes a collaborative community approach.

Depending on the project, we may bring together on-ground groups and key individuals with university, expertise resources and local agencies to identify gaps in existing knowledge or actions and define priority actions needed.

We then find funding and deliver a project or undertake research which is used to inform Noosa Council planning and best management practices.

This new approach was successful in developing a roadmap to save local koala populations and we’re now actively seeking funding to implement these actions. In November, we will undertake the same approach to develop a roadmap to conserve the Glossy Black-Cockatoo habitat.

What do you think is the greatest value of NBRF to the people of Noosa?

There are only a handful of UNESCO biosphere reserve sites in Australia, including Noosa. Our recognised balance between people and place doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of a whole-of community approach to sustainable development and a commitment to ongoing research, monitoring and education to maintain and nurture the living systems within it.

Our volunteer expertise-based board is made up of a diverse group with broad and deep experience, and a shared passion for the Noosa region and its people. It’s a free think tank if you will, that adds in-kind value and expertise to every project we undertake and help manage.

The NBRF through its biosphere reserve status facilitates and enables innovative approaches to conservation that has real, lasting impacts on how we live and interact within our environment. Through our projects, we’re linking community groups with research institutes and government agencies to progress research that impacts policy and management decisions, improves on-ground actions and kickstarts further investment in our region.

We aren’t just focused on environmental best practice, we consider the social and economic benefits and sustainable outcomes in our projects and priorities. This is, in essence, 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 October, 2020

NBRF chair Rex Halverson

Our recognised balance between people and place doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of a whole-of community approach” the principle of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere designation.

What NBRF projects have you seen completed over the past two years and what have been their outcomes?

We have completed a number of projects in the last two years, with more due by the end of the year. Notably, these include the delivery of the Noosa Trail Masterplan, the Noosa Hinterland Rural Enterprise Plan, the Noosa River Biodiversity Study and Keep it in Kin Kin (Phase 2) erosion remediation works, the establishment of the Noosa Environmental Educational Hub and the ZEN Business Solar Case Studies. The final reports on the Noosa River Oyster Restoration Trial, Koala Forever Noosa and the Noosa Environmental and Cultural Learning Trail are also in progress. We’ve also engaged a study of oyster species with Griffith University and have some new projects in development.

The outcomes gained through these projects has been three-fold. The information and data gathered has informed council planning and management as well as assisted local organisations in their on-ground actions. The initial seed funding and pilot studies have also been key to attracting further funding commitments. The successful Oyster Reef Trial was a catalyst to a $2.4m partnership between Noosa Council and The Nature Conservancy in per-

manent oyster reef restoration and in recent weeks has attracted further federal funding to upscale the project. In recent weeks we’ve also seen state funding committed to the first stage of implementation of the Noosa Trail Masterplan strategy.

These investments have substantially increased our return on investment on behalf of the community. Specific project outcomes are available on our website.

Do you think the Noosa community engages with NBRF and understands what it does?

There is always room for improvement in this area and we are committed to increasing our community engagement and education activity. As volunteers, we’ve focused our resources more on delivering good outcomes than telling our story, however we recognise that the more the community understands the value of the Noosa Biosphere and the MaB Programme the more we can achieve together. In fact, we’re excited to be hosting a luncheon in November to raise funds for our initiative to protect the Glossy Black-Cockatoo.

What has been the impact of Covid-19?

As you’d expect, it’s slowed down the delivery and execution of projects. One of the biggest impacts was on our university partners as research labs and other facilities were in some

cases closed, and field work was impacted. We also had to postpone launching new initiatives such as the Glossy Black Symposium and Luncheon to November. The good news is, we are back on track and will report on the symposium and future projects as they develop.

What do you hope NBRF can achieve over the next five years?

With a new Executive Coordinator to support the delivery of our program, we are excited for the future. Our goals are to increase the number of new projects for Noosa while at the same time leveraging our seed funding even higher than our current average ratio of 3:1. We’re implementing our fundraising strategy and we have a strategy to deepen our engagement with the community. We will continue implementing our new collaborative model and using this as a mechanism to define projects that will have a real impact on how we maintain the Noosa Biosphere.

We’re working on strengthening our partnerships with other agencies in Noosa and have enjoyed collaborating with Tourism Noosa on their recent Enter the Biosphere campaign. We will also be focusing on improving alliances with our neighbouring Great Sandy Biosphere Reserve, as well as the new Australian Biosphere Alliance and the Pacific Man and Biosphere Network.

Reality Tv Home and Away is one of the most consistently visionary shows in Aus. history. Histrionics aside (which are a relevant portrayal of interpersonal and family relationships) the show has some key themes. Communitarianism The authority of the community relies not on monopoly of force or economic coercion but in the moral consensus of all the residents.

They care for each other to the extent that they are willing to use their individual and collec-

tive power to resolve all issues for the benefit of all. Full Employment- no one in Summer Bay goes for want of gainful employment. Those with the ability to share their economic power do so, this benefits every member of the community and ensures harmony to a large extent (not evident in our society). Solidarity - the people of Summer Bay are the governors of their area, through participatory community democracy. This is done to the point where government, other than a very old fashioned style of community policing and a surf club, is invisible! Summer Bay is what a healthy society looks like. It is proof of utopia. It is proof of humanism. I challenge anyone from our real world dystopia to prove me wrong. Surfs Up! Dylan White Doonan

Corflute Campaign There has been a rash of electoral signs spread across Noosa Shire, mostly on council roadsides, for the LNP candidate in the upcoming state election. In our shire the only place that such signs are allowed are on the boundaries of private properties. The member for Noosa, and other candidates, have adhered to these rules, which disadvantages them when their opposition chooses to flout the rules. Could council please ensure that these signs are removed?

Tony’s quirky creations

By Phil Jarratt A little more than half a year since losing the mayoral election, renaissance man Tony Wellington is relaxed and welcoming as he and partner Judy Ditter host their part of the first weekend of the Noosa Open Studios Art Trail at their hinterland home.

This wonderful concept of personalizing art and artists by bringing the public into the process could not be better demonstrated than by Tony and Judy’s “at home”, because there are some in our community who might have assumed that Wellington, licking his wounds after electoral defeat, had taken to solitary painting of dried arrangements or other grim subjects.

Not at all. In fact either side of - and even during politics -- the man has been a creative powerhouse of art, photography, film, writing and music since university days. Since losing the March election to Clare Stewart, Tony has produced a wildlife photography book (currently at the printer), written half a treatise on music and politics in the 1970s (with a publisher) and added significantly to his stock of super-realist oil paintings, which we are admiring at his Tinbeerwah home today.

The wonderful and seductive trick about Tony Wellington is that behind the gravitas and the genuine commitment to making the world a better place, he seems to be enjoying a private joke which is on display in so many of his oils. He is a visual prankster who brings a little touch of Dali to the Australian landscape, although he insists that he works from imagination rather than memory.

“My landscapes are imaginary but they might be inspired by the local landscape. I’m not trying to represent the local landscape in my painting, if I want to do that I’ll use my photography. I think a painting should take you somewhere completely new.”

While politics rarely rears its ugly head in Tony’s quirky works, one new piece that catches my eye immediately is called Political Expediency, which plays on a simple road sign. He says: “It’s all about the way Australia treats refugees, which I think is a national disgrace. Whenever I drive past a sign that says Refuge Island, I think of the way we treat our refugees. I don’t often resort to making political statements in my painting, but this one gets on my goat.”

The lighter side of the artist is revealed in a piece called That Holiday, which is “based on the notion of the memory of a holiday, so I’ve got reminder post-it notes of what you need to take on a holiday, slapped on top of the image of Old Woman Island, so it’s very much the idea of a Sunshine Coast holiday.”

doesn’t appear to reflect Tony’s current yearnings. He says simply: “I’m in more control of my time now and I’m finding time for the things I enjoy.”

First Nations artists prepare for large local exhibition

By Abbey Cannan After the success of last year’s First Nations Exhibition in Cooroy, the artists and audience have been wanting more and called for a larger scale exhibition.

Cooroy Butter factory Arts Centre is hosting another First Nations art exhibition throughout the whole gallery, offering a larger exhibition for emerging and established First Nations artists residing on Gubbi-Gubbi land culminating in a Gubbi-Gubbi celebration during NAIDOC week.

Alicia Sharples, Gallery Coordinator said, “There is such a diverse expression of arts and culture being shared with us, it is a valuable opportunity to connect and understand our First Nations culture coinciding with NAIDOC week from 8 to 15 November.”

“Thanks to Flying Arts and a Regional Arts Fund we have a real celebration of culture to share with our audience, with over 50 First Nation artists exhibiting, creating artist residencies and hosting masterclasses in our arts centre during the next eight weeks,“ she said.

Ambassadors Dr Jandamarra Cadd, and Uncle Paul Calcott are excited to take this project to the next level, all first nations artists residing on Gubbi Gubbi land were invited to enter and the result will be an exhibition with a diverse representation of the amazing talented first nations artists we have living on the coast.

The aim of this exhibition is “to give these artists a place and platform to share their work while offering an opportunity to show their artworks to a greater audience and gain more exposure. Also giving them a visual voice to share their creative expression, whether it be derived from their traditional stories or individual based pieces,” Dr Jandamarra Cadd said.

This project is proudly supported by Queensland Regional Arts Fund with a community Project Grant.

Noosa artist a finalist

By Abbey Cannan A Noosa-based artist has been announced as a finalist in the prestigious Brisbane Portrait Prize which attracted an astounding 672 entries in only it’s second year.

Georges Soler’s entry is among the 71 finalists selected to show at the Brisbane Powerhouse.

“I’m very happy to be part of such a richly diverse event and to be able to weave my own unique strand into the complex multicultural tapestry that is South-East Queensland,” Mr Soler said.

His painting is a self-portrait and he has chosen to displace the human subject to the edge of the frame to give center-stage to a small stand of rainforest.

“I started this painting a few years ago and worked on it intermittently while building a house and studio,” he said.

“I laid down the first layers quite quickly and then progressively transformed and refined the work by eliminating what I considered excessive and enhancing features which subtly express multi-sensory connection to place and memory.”

Since moving to the Noosa Hinterland his appreciation of the natural environment has deepened and this is increasingly reflected in his growing body of work made in his Kin Kin studio adjacent to a small bushland conservation area.

“The Noosa Hinterland provides a great diversity of well-protected and cared for natural environments as well as a network of likeminded creatives,” Mr Soler said.

“I’ve always known I was an artist at heart, drawing and painting prolifically from an early age and continuing this practice throughout my adult working life.

“I was finally able to attend art-school as a mature age student, and things really took off for me when I built my studio in the beautiful Noosa Hinterland.”

The finalists’ exhibition runs until 1 November and there is extensive coverage on the Brisbane Portrait Prize website.

Caravanning trend for families with special needs With interstate travel off the cards for the near future, this is the year of the road trip, with a rising number of Queenslanders hitting the road to give caravanning a spin.

Caravanning has seen a surge of popularity in recent months with Queensland holiday parks reporting a 40 per cent increase in occupancy rates between May and August this year.

Sunshine Coast family Jodie, John and their two sons are among the recent caravan converts - after finding it the perfect solution to their family’s unique holiday needs.

Having two sons with special needs, the family has had mixed results with holidays in the past, but decided to give caravanning a crack after first trying a camper trailer and realising they needed to go bigger.

“We quickly realised that the camper trailer was quite hard for our family situation.

Plus it took so long to put up and pack away,” Jodie said.

“We saw other people arrive in the park with caravans and how quick the setup was, so we decided that we needed to look at getting a caravan for ourselves. Within two weeks we’d bought a brand new van.

“For our first time in the caravan, we decided to stay local and booked three nights at Ingenia Holidays Rivershore and absolutely loved it.

“We ended up staying for a week - which is the first time we’ve ever extended a holiday. We’ve got two teenage boys with special needs, Ben is 16-years-old and requires full care and Jack is 14-years- old and has autism.

“There was so much to love about Ingenia

Jodie and her son Ben enjoying a nice stroll in Noosa.

Jodie and John and their two sons Ben and Jack decided to give caravanning a crack for this year, staying at Ingenia Holidays Rivershore in Noosa.

Holidays Rivershore Resort- it was so easy to get around. We could just pop Ben in his stroller, put our rescue pup Lily on a leash, and get out and about.

“In the past, we’ve had to cut all of our holidays short, so as soon as we realised this type of holiday worked for our family we were thrilled.

“You can easily drop a few thousand dollars on holiday accommodation, so aside from the upfront cost of the caravan, it’s a really cost effective and flexible option.”

Since their inaugural caravan trip, the family has been desperate to get back out

on the road, but because of John’s role as a FIFO worker, he’s currently stuck in Western Australia.

“After our first trip in the caravan, I had to return to WA for work and because of the current border restrictions, I’m unable to get home for the foreseeable future,” John said.

“I’m counting down the days until I can get back and plan our next trip - it would be great to head up north, I think the boys would love it.”

Queensland has the largest number of registered RV’s in Australia, with this number only expected to rise as more embrace the

transient holiday trend.

Ingenia Holidays Rivershore Resort Manager Shane Sutton said that he’s seen an influx of first-time caravanners as people embrace holiday destinations a little closer to home.

“So many Aussies have had to cancel their interstate and overseas trips this year and have been looking for travel alternatives that don’t involve flights or crowds.

“That’s why caravans are such great fit they are very affordable, and you have the flexibility to pick up and move on to the next adventure whenever you’re ready.”

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Magic from the street.

Picture: SUPPLIED

Years on, it’s still magic Trevor Pepys reviews Magic of India Back in a previous century finding a good Indian feed in Noosa was like finding an honest politician - almost impossible. And then, just like magic, Magic of India popped up on Thomas Street, just a few doors down from where Trevor at that time toiled manfully making magazines, and learning to alliterate.

Magic of India won awards from the getgo, and if you’ve got a particularly long wait between courses, you can read about each and every one of them from page three of the menu. Let’s just note here that the place was featured on SBS’s Food Lover’s Guide To Australia - you must remember that! - in 1997 and is still winning plenty of people’s choice gongs today.

These days we’re a bit spoiled with several good options for Indian around town, but a visit to Magic is like a pleasant trip down memory lane. Okay, it’s not as old as the idea of Maisie’s, just around the corner, but it’s rather like slipping into a comfortable old Nehru jacket, and you never know who you’ll run into. On a visit last Sunday night, Trev and Mrs Tucker caught up with a former politician - one of the honest ones - grabbing a takeout.

“Always enjoy the curry and naans from Magic,” he hooted as he skipped out with a bag of dinner, “especially the malai kofta!”

Trev was after something with a bit more oomph after a week or so in the bland heart of Queensland, but the missus was a bit delicate in the tummy department, so we compromised on a mixed entr¨¦e ($16.90) which we shared as we knocked a hole in a bottle of 2019 Taku Pinot Gris ($33), and note the sensible pricing on this good quaffer, all you surrounding wine gougers, and you know who you are.

Basmati rice ($3.90) just so and a plate of crunchy papadoms ($3.50) and our Sunday arvo Noosaville intoxicological perambulation has reached a suitably happy ending.

The verdict: Still a crowd favourite with good reason, there’s plenty of magic left in the old girl.

Glory, glory to victory In the lead-up to this month’s AFL grand final being held in Queensland for the first time in the code’s history the Sunshine Coast is celebrating its own victory, with council’s Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex being crowned the Queensland winner of a new AFL national award.

The AFL recently created the Ken Gannon Community Football Facilities Awards* to annually recognise best practice in community football facility development across Australia.

AFL National Venues and Community Facilities Manager Shayne Ward said the awards were an excellent initiative.

“The awards allow the AFL to document best practice in facility development for our sport and celebrate the contribution and investment of key stakeholders such as Sunshine Coast Council as well as acknowledging the incredible service given to the game by Ken Gannon,” Mr Ward said.

“AFL Queensland nominated the Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex as Project of the Year (Queensland) for 2019 in support of council’s site masterplan and long-term investment at Fisherman’s Road and this has been endorsed by AFL’s National Facilities Panel.

“This project is a remarkable example of best practice that aligns very strongly to the AFL’s aim of providing well positioned, welcoming, fit-for-purpose football facilities that support our growing game’s strategic priorities.”

Sunshine Coast Council Economic Development Councillor Jason O’Pray said the complex was a game-changer for both local grassroots clubs and national elite sport.

“Council saw the need to upgrade the Maroochy Multi Sports Complex facilities and delivered a new building with administration space, amenities and change rooms for AFL as well as upgraded player and administration facilities for our netballers,” Cr O’Pray said.

“During the AFL December/January 2020 pre-season training camps we proudly hosted Port Adelaide, Greater Western Sydney, Hawthorn, Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and Carlton.

“We also saw Melbourne, Essendon, North Melbourne, Collingwood and St Kilda utilise our facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex will host the AFLQ’s Q-School’s Finals 16-17 October.

Division 7 Councillor Ted Hungerford said Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex was home to 11,500 people in the local football community including the mighty Maroochydore Roos who catered for a wide range of ages across men’s, women’s and junior comps.

“It’s wonderful to see a complex of this

standard is available to players as well as volunteers and the growing community,” Cr Hungerford said.

“The Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex is a major boost to the local sport scene and kicks some serious goals for Sunshine Coast footy. It’s a breeding ground for talented locals

to be recognised, especially with the Brisbane Lions Academy which holds regional sessions at the complex.

“To see it recognised from such a respected national institution is an endorsement of our vision for the region which is to be healthy, smart and creative.”

Patients to benefit from Ambulance research grants Paramedics in space, the mitigation of biological hazards and infection prevention control during a pandemic - these are just some of the topics ambulance officers will soon study in order to create better patient outcomes and safer environments for ambulance staff.

Each year, the KJ McPherson Education and Research Foundation (KJM Foundation) offers more than $40,000 worth of grants to Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) uniformed operational staff to undertake research or professional development activities of benefit to patient care and ambulance services - a vital step in improving patient care across the state.

Grant winners were recently announced during the annual KJM Patron’s Day, this year held as an online workshop and ceremony.

Named after Kenneth James (Jim) McPherson, a Queensland ambulance officer who lost his life in an aerial ambulance crash in Bundaberg in 1987, the KJM Foundation is a not-for-profit entity dedicated to improving patient care by providing research and professional development opportunities for uniformed personnel. Today the Foundation serves as a memorial to all officers of the QAS who have lost their lives in the line of duty since 1892.

Grant funds are used by the recipients to assist them in conducting research, or to fund research and education projects.

QAS Commissioner Russell Bowles congratulated the QAS personnel on their continued growth and motivation toward improving pre-hospital care in Queensland.

“We encourage our staff to be innovative in their approach toward enhancing prehospital care and the QAS has always prided itself on being leaders in our field, contribut48 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 October, 2020

KJM grant recipients for 2020, with QAS Commissioner Russell Bowles, KJM Foundation and sponsors. ing to improved clinical outcomes for our patients,” Commissioner Bowles said.

“The staff awarded today are doing our service proud by undertaking these fantastic research projects.

“The late Jim McPherson was very dedicated in his commitment to training, education and research, so it’s very fitting that the foundation commemorating him is contrib-

uting toward QAS staff training.

“This year’s grant winners have all worked very hard in applying for the grants in their project of interest and are very deserving recipients.

“They will undertake research into topics such as falls management and prevention, business continuity in the absence of computer aided dispatch, infection prevention

and control, traumatic brain injury care, extreme environment paramedicine and much more.

“The QAS has a strong, supportive involvement with the McPherson family and I’m excited at the prospect of what our recipients will do with their research grants and how that will affect the ongoing drive of our people to advance modern medicine.”

Pin High Peter Owen

Going back to the future Wearing a pair of plus fours and with a tam o’ shanter perched on his head, Gratham Leatherbarrow oozes golfing tradition.

Even his impressive moniker - the surname, of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and originally given to a lord of the manor in north Lancashire - conjures images of caddies, courtly behaviour, and a celebratory glass of port in the clubhouse bar.

It will come as no surprise, therefore, to learn Gratham Leatherbarrow enjoys nothing better than a round of golf with a set of hickory clubs at his beloved Cooroy course.

“I’m a lover of the history of the game,” he says. “I’m in awe of great players like Bobby Jones, who played amazing golf with hickory clubs a century ago.”

Gratham first swung a hickory club when he was a 12-year-old in Claremont, Tasmania, and has continued a lifelong love affair with the clubs that were used throughout the golfing world in the 1920s and 1930s.

These days the now 73-year-old sees himself as a promoter of hickory clubs on the Sunshine Coast, and often organises Thursday afternoon games at Cooroy with die-hards like himself, and younger players keen to try hickory golf.

One of them is 19-year-old George Giblett, twice a winner of the Invincibles Junior Masters and one of the region’s best young amateurs.

“I love the challenge of it,” says George, who has a regular golf handicap of plus three.

“It was a little difficult at first, but it definitely teaches you how to ‘feel’ the golf shot.”

Gratham has been collecting hickory clubs for decades - many of them coming to him from Sydney-based former professional Tom Morris, 92.

“I put them together into sets and give them out to players keen to play golf the way it was done in the past,” he said.

Gratham says hickory clubs are known by names rather than numbers.

A typical set might include a brassie (driver), spoon (3-wood), mid-iron (4-iron), mashie (5-iron), mashie-niblick (7-iron), niblick (9iron) and a jigger (chipping iron). There would be a putter, but no sand iron.

If you were a buyer, a full set of hickories two woods and six irons - might set you back $350.

A month ago Gratham, George, former touring pro Jason Norris, and Kaleb Hamilton represented the Sunshine Coast in the Queensland Hickory Masters at Brisbane Golf Club.

And they’ll again fly the Coast flag on Sunday when Cooroy hosts the Sunshine Coast Hickory Championship. A team of up to 20 players from Brisbane will head up the Bruce Highway in quest of the Bobby Jones Trophy.

They will play on a specially-designed composite course, which will be shorter than that normally used by Cooroy golfers, though Gratham says George Giblett has no trouble smacking the ball 260 metres with his brassie.

Gratham, who worked as banker before joining Mt Isa Mines, and then became a landscaper, played at Noosa Valley Country Club before joining Cooroy.

“I love the game and its history,” he says.

“If you don’t know the history of golf you shouldn’t be playing the game.”

Excitement grows in Sunday Series When Andre Smit won Cooroy’s 4BBB Stableford competition on Saturday he knew he was in form. So, the next day, he rode his luck in Noosa Springs’ popular Sunday Series. And it paid off big-time.

Andre, retired these past three years and beginning to take his golf very seriously, scored 41 Stableford points to give himself a strong chance of reaching the final of the Universal Property Sunday Series, and winning a year’s free golf at Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island.

“It was my once-a-year weekend,” An-

The Bobby Jones Trophy, designed by Jason Norris, which will be contested at Cooroy on Sunday.

Gratham Leatherbarrow prepares for a round of hickory golf at Cooroy dre said. “I’ve been having lessons with Peter Heiniger at Noosa Springs, and it’s paying off.

“But it’s one thing to have a lesson - something else, entirely, to put into practice what you’re told.”

Andre is a member at Cooroy and a social member at Noosa Springs, and hits the golf course four or five times a week.

He’s a great fan of Noosa Springs’ Sunday Series - a competition that offers weekly prizes, with that amazing pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

The male and female who record the best Stableford scores each month go into the December final, with the winner of that event claiming the year’s free golf at two of southeast Queensland’s finest courses.

Monthly winners so far are: Murray Hopping and Carol Yancey (March), Paul Bell and Kaye Bollen (April), Dion Gilbert and Sandi Hoskins (May), Greg Johnson and Zen Boakes (June), Koa Wood and Judy Buss (July), Brendon Motley and Judi Barrett (August), and Viv Grayson and Noi Pike (September).

Spring Classic tees off on Sunday The first - and possibly last - Sunshine Coast Spring Classic, an event to showcase four of the region’s finest courses and offer players a feast of competitive golf, kicks off next week.

A field of more than 70 male and female golfers will tee off at Maroochy River on Monday, with the 72-hole tournament concluding at Peregian on Thursday.

Originally branded as the Winter Classic and scheduled for June, the event will also be decided at Twin Waters (Tuesday) and Noosa Springs (Wednesday). Hopefully, as Covid-19 restrictions ease, it will revert to its original date next year.

It presents an opportunity for golfers to visit the Sunshine Coast and test their game at four premium golf courses.

The Classic is a 72-hole single Stableford competition. It is graded and open to men and women, with daily and overall prizes awarded for each grade.

Registration will be at Peregian on Sunday, 18 October, where players are welcome to enjoy a free practice round.

Play each day will be a noon shotgun start with a presentation cocktail party scheduled after the final round.

The entry fee of $695 includes four days of golf, carts, daily lunches, tee gifts, prizes and the welcome function at Peregian. Contact classic@golfsunshinecoast.com.au to see if there are any last-minute vacancies.

Too few want the MiScore app

The MiScore golf app - introduced during Covid-19 restrictions to minimise the chance of spreading the virus - has proved very popular at some Sunshine Coast clubs. More than 70 per cent of Maroochy River members, for example, use it regularly, prompting the club to take out a long term subscription.

That hasn’t been the case at Noosa, however, with only 30 per cent of members using the app at its peak - and even less now that many restrictions have been eased.

The lacklustre response has influenced club management to discontinue its subscription.

Members can buy the app themselves, but would still need to fill in and scan paper score cards each time they played in a competition.

The MiScore app, which allows golfers to score online and lodge their score electronically through their mobile phone, also has a built-in GPS, keeps a player’s statistics, provides individual handicap information, records leaderboard updates and publishes local rules.

Lifeline for Cooroy Noosa Council is considering a plan to build a retirement resort on land next to Cooroy Golf Club - a move that would ensure the future of the club.

GemLife, which has lodged a development application with the council, has agreed to build a new clubhouse, pro shop, buggy storage area for 40 carts, a new sealed carpark, and has guaranteed 246 new golf memberships - one for every dwelling in the proposed new resort.

Cooroy Golf Club secretary Andrew Dick said his club had seen a decline in membership numbers as members got older. “This is a unique opportunity for Noosa Council to assist in securing a sustainable economic future for the club,” he said.

The proposal includes a full-size commercial kitchen and dining/function areas at the new clubhouse, which would open an opportunity to host functions such as weddings, corporate, and community events.

New start time for IBF Classic Covid-19 restrictions have forced Twin Waters to adjust the starting times for the Ian BakerFinch Junior Classic on Sunday, 25 October.

Originally scheduled as a shotgun start, the event will now feature tee offs in groups of four from 7am to 8.30am, off the 1st and 10th tees.

Entries for the popular event are filling fast.

The draw will be published on the Invincibles website and app.

Noosa challenge at Keperra Noosa Springs’ Dino Degotardi and Noosa’s George Giblett are teeing it up this week in the

Keperra Bowl, one of Queensland’s premier amateur events. The Noosa duo is part of an elite field of the state’s best male and female amateurs competing in the 72-hole Stroke event, which ends today.

Good catches over the bar A few charters did well to punch through the swell on the bar and head out to wider marks to score a good mixed bag. Double Island (DI) is always a favourite when the seas allow and the catch consisted of snapper, cobia, tuskies, sweetlip, AJs and jewfish. As mentioned in previous reports, you can access DI by launching at Tin Can Bay. It’s a long trip to the bar, but it’s a safe one and the fishing can be great as soon as you find deep water. When fishing here be sure to have your maps up to date on your GPS as Wolf Rock is a strict no fishing area. If you need help with GPS units, come and see us for up to date maps and sounder help.

Off the beaches the swell has been hitting the coast, which for some is a great time to try for a ‘jewie’. If the bigger surf is something you don’t usually fish then why not try the river mouth. The channels and various gutters will be holding fish and any small baitfish getting washed into these areas will soon become prey. Try not to fish heavier than 10-pound main line so bait presentation is best. Look to use a couple of small snelled octopus hooks and use a whole baby blue pilchard or hardy head. This is a great way to find a big flathead just waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

If you haven’t noticed, the mangrove jacks and flathead have been high on many anglers’ catch lists these last few weeks. The Noosa River is home to some solid fish reaching 60cm for jacks and over 90cm for flathead when the stars align. They will take a variety of lures and baits and are a viable target, even for those without a boat. For land based anglers, try the downed trees around the dog beach and the rocks of the Sand Bags. These spots fish well once you get the right tides and let your lures or baits get carried along in the current while working them.

Be sure to use quality braids to feel even the smallest of bites. We have many new braids in store, so be sure to ask us which one suits your style, target species and location.

Another species starting to feed is whiting. These make a great target for owners of 2kg gear and big fish in the high 30cm mark will certainly account for themselves in shallow waters. Whiting love surface lures skipped across the surface and the Bassday Sugapen is a favourite. Use super light mono leaders to get the best from this and similar lures. Try the sand flats of the Frying Pan and Weyba on a run out tide. You will probably pick up flathead if targeting whiting and they will even hit surface lures. You would do well to grab some Rovex fluorocarbon if you need to increase the bite resistance as small spools are available, which coasts you less. Ask us how to tie a braid to leader knot if you need help.

Away from the river, the freshwater continues to warm up with healthy bass caught around the edges. Now is the time to hit the water first light as we head toward a new moon phase. You can even use weedless soft plastics

Away from the edges, there are schools of bass to be found. These fish are picking plastics off the bottom in the 2-3 inch sizes. Take a look at the new Powerbait power grub in bleak colour.

Use this with 1/4oz jighead or more and slow wind it back to you. For added bite grab a tube

Victories across the board A Grade: Noosa Dolphins d Wynnum Bugs 43-19 The Ray White Noosa Dolphins wrapped up the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union A Grade minor premiership with a commanding 4319 victory over the Wynnum Bugs. The annual trip to Brisbane’s bayside is a highlight for the team, which travelled by bus with the Reserve grade side to claim its sixth consecutive win this season. Both sides struggled to gain the upper hand initially until Dolphins half-back Will Christie extracted the ball from a driving maul to score in the 25th minute. While the warm and windy conditions added to the challenge, the Noosa boys were on track, outscoring the Bugs in the first half 24-7 with two tries to Alfie Hill and a try to captain Brandon Mayhew. Building on the momentum in the second half, the Dolphins were aggressive with Little Sister Noosa player of the match, lock Jonathan Davey working tirelessly. Jonathan’s set piece and high volume of carries proved instrumental in laying the platform from which the halves could attack. It was also another impressive kicking game from fullback Jordan Mayhew, strangling the Bugs’ backline for many periods of the game. The Dolphins added three more tries to the final score through Jacob Spark, Dave Grant and Alfie Hill, who sealed the win when he crossed the line for the third time.

Despite conceding a few tries, it was a clinical performance by the Dolphins, scoring a total of seven tries in the bonus point win. During the after-match team chat, coach Michael Phelan had nothing but praise for his team’s effort in achieving the minor premiership title. Having won in 10 out of the 11 rounds, the Dolphins have proven to be the most consistent team in the Sunshine Coast competition and will now have the advantage of playing the major semifinal in front of a home crowd against Caloundra Lighthouse on Saturday. Kick-off is at 4pm.

Reserve Grade: Noosa Dolphins d Wynnum Bugs 47-17 The Dolphins’ Reserve grade headed south for a must-win game to make the finals. In hot and very windy conditions, Noosa lost the toss to have the wind at the back in the first half. The lost opportunity turned out to be a good one, as the team scored the first try with a driving maul. From there, the team built a lot of pressure on the Wynnum Bugs, and with some very interesting refereeing calls going towards the Dolphins, Ryan Frisby kicked three penalties in a row to take the score to 14-0. The Dolphins had not finished as Jock Hansson did his best Bismarck du Plessis impersonation, scoring a hat-trick and setting up a try for his captain, all before half-time. The half-time score was Noosa 33 to Wynnum’s 0. But, heading into the wind in the second half was a different story for the Dolphins. The Bugs came out and scored two quick tries and left the Dolphins defending their line for most of the half.

Hayden Trask and Josh McMasters managed to score a try apiece from long range to push the margin to 47-12. The opposition finished the game with a try on the hooter to give their ‘Old Boys’ something to cheer about. Noosa plays the Gympie Hammers in the Reserve grade minor semi-final at USC on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 2pm.

A Grade Dolphins Mitchell Duncan and Niko Waqanisau Women: Noosa Dolphins d Gympie Hammers 34-12 After a strong week at training, the Noosa women were more than prepared for the challenge against the Gympie Hammers in the last round before the finals. As expected, the Hammers came out firing on home turf but struggled to match the physicality, skill and passion of the Dolphins. The Noosa side executed its game plan with patience, at no point becoming complacent with the score.

The forwards, led by captain and Little Sister Noosa player of the day Tess Evans, were relentless and as a result, Noosa defeated Gympie 34-12. The energy going into this Saturday’s major semi-final against the Caboolture

Snakes is unstoppable; the team is fitter and stronger than ever to take on the minor premiers. Kick-off is at 12.30pm at Dolphin Oval.

Colts: Noosa Dolphins d USC Barbarians 19-17 The Dolphins Colts played the USC Barbarians in the second last round of the season on a very hot Saturday morning. A strong and tough start by both teams saw hard running and good defence. Playing to team pattern, a good short side passing play by the Dolphins created a great try for Christian Vidic, converted by Casey Allen. A pick and drive try and conversion by the Barbarians equalled the score, followed by a penalty conversion to give the Barbarians a half-time 10-7 lead. The Dolphins’ field position and pressure early in the

second half saw Ben Roberts score. With bench players coming on and playing well, the Noosa side lifted the pressure on the opposition and got another good try to Tyson Schefe converted by Tom Payne, making the score 19-10. Further pressure in the lineout and scrum saw the Dolphins attack the Barbarians’ line for a large period of time. Unable to take a few scoring opportunities, the Dolphins turned over the ball with the Barbarians running the length of the field to score and convert. A tense last five minutes resulted in the Dolphins winning 19-17. The Dolphins’ players’ player went to Tyson Schefe. The last game before the finals is at Dolphin Oval against Caloundra Lighthouse on Saturday. Kick-off is at 10.45am.

A fantastic game played by the under-13s.

There were smiles all around from under-12s, who are undefeated.

A gutsy effort.

Dolphins prepare for finals Noosa Dolphins juniors report - Under 13s The under-13 Dolphins played an amazing game on Saturday, defeating Sunshine Coast Grammar 34-19. They started off a bit slow, letting them score in the first few minutes and again soon after, so they had the lead. Then the Dolphins put themselves into fifth gear and

took back the control. Finbar scored his second try for the season in an awesome contest.

Will A. scored two tries for the day. Alaska had a terrific intercept that allowed him to break through and score from the centre line. Both Ozie (Oscar) and Charlie S. got a try as well.

The team played a fantastic game, sharing and

passing the ball. The under-13s certainly utilised every player on the team. Once they had made their move the defence line were on fire, stopping Grammar from scoring in the second half. It was a great game and kept all spectators on their toes.

Under 12s Noosa defeated Uni 31-14.

Round 11 was another nail-biting game for the coaches and spectators. Consecutive tackles ensured that Uni stayed in their own half.

A gutsy effort ensured that Uni did not break the Noosa defensive line to score several times.

Sweat, blood and tears were shown by both teams as it was not only a game of skill but also a game of mental strength. Noosa won the game due to all players playing their position to the highest standard and the many kilometres run at training to improve overall team fitness.

Congratulations to Hayden Thomas, the under 12s coach who received Dolphins Club Man of the Year for 2020. Noosa is looking forward to

The perfect venue for your Christmas party Noosa Hills is the ideal place to celebrate the festive season with your team this year.

The under-12s took part in a tough contest.

facing off against Grammar next Saturday at Sunshine Coast Stadium in the under-12s final.

Under 9s With the early 8am start, the Dolphins had their shorts pulled down early by Brothers posting three tries before they woke up. Even though the boys’ performance improved throughout the game, they weren’t able to get their usually awesome attack going, and thus couldn’t quite claw back the three-try deficit.

The very physical match ended with a final score of 6-3 to Brothers. It was a very exciting and competitive match to watch.

Noosa had some great defensive efforts from Luke, Jack, Matty, Lewis and Sam, and some flashes of brilliance in attack from Kellen and Will S. Big improvers were George, Mac, Will Mc, Cormac and Riley. Thanks to the coaches, managers and parents for their continued support this year. Noosa had a fun presentation afternoon at Dolphins HQ, which the boys and parents enjoyed. They’re looking forward to a fun last game on Saturday.

It’s a big weekend in sport Things are heating up on the sporting scene.

After the Roosters and Eels exited stage right, we are down to the final four in the NRL comepitition. The AFL is also powering towards its 2020 Grand Final day with a difference. After last weekend’s results the dream is over for St Kilda fans, who were hoping the positive vibe of a few months on the Sunshine Coast would provide the momentum to carry their side from sixth place through the finals rounds.

Sadly, it was not the case and they were bundled out by the defending premiers, the Tigers.

The Cats decimated Eddie’s Magpies in the second semi-final. The Pies and Saints are now free to make their way back to Victoria...

I bet they are pleased about that.

All AFL eyes now turn to Adelaide Oval and the Gabba for the preliminary final match ups.

The Tigers face Port Adelaide in a bid for more grand final glory, and at the Gabba the Brisbane faithful will be out in force as the Lions host the Cats.

In NRL territory on Friday night, the Melbourne Storm will be keen to book another grand final appearance when they meet Ricky’s Raiders at Suncorp.

But the burning question in the NRL at the moment is: Can Bennie’s Bunnies bring down the powerhouse Panthers at ANZ on Saturday night?

In an intriguing aside to the Premlinary finals of both codes, there is also the question of whether it will be the final time we see two of arguably the finest players of their respective codes (Gary Ablett and Cameron Smith), or will football’s fairy godmother grant them each the chance to finish their careers in fairytale fashion?

Ablett has confirmed he is hanging up his boots at season’s end, but Smith is yet to make a public announcement. If reports are correct, Melbourne is preparing to honour their great man at Suncorp.

While all this is happening, punters should be sharpening their pens and pencils and spending the rest of the week referring to the advice of endless experts in an effort to seek out the winners of not just the Caulfield Cup but also the Kosciuszko and Everest at Randwick on Saturday.

If all that does not get the adrenalin pumping, then the grand final of the Suncorp Super Netball will fill your Sunday morning. The Vixens and Fever will do battle in Brisbane.

Rugby Union supporters will keep the faith when Round 2 of the Bledisloe Cup kicks off at Eden Park mid-afternoon on Sunday after the Wallabies went so close to breaking their winning drought in game one in NZ. For supporters the pain of a drawn game, adjudicated by officials with their eyes obviously painted on, was almost more than a bear could bare and will only be eased if the Wallabies can break their NZ hoodoo at Eden Park.

So much excitement; so much at stake; so many sports. I’m like a kid in a candy store.

The remote might just need replacing by Monday.

- Casey As the final touches are put on this Spin column, we have heard the dreadful news that champion mare Winx lost her first foal (a filly) on Tuesday morning.

It is devastating news for not only the connections but for the Australian people who took a little bit of Winxy into their hearts. The mare, who was in foal to champion stallion I Am Invincible, was only weeks away from foaling and has been a picture of health. Details of what occurred have not been released. Champion trainer Chris Waller released a statement on behalf of the owners advising of the sad news. It is understood that the mare has suffered no ill effects but, as you can imagine, she is being very closely monitored.

As one fan said, 2020 really does suck.

St Kilda prepared well at its final training run at its Sunshine Coast home base in the lead-up to the game with the Tigers. Unfortunately for Saints fans, it was not enough and the side was dominated by Richmond last weekend.

DOLPHINS ARE FINALS-BOUND The Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union teams are finals-bound after weekend wins in A Grade, Reserve Grade, Colts and the Women’s.

In the final fixture game of the A Grade season, the Dolphins proved too strong for the Wynnum Bugs coming away with a 43-19 win. In the process, the Ray White Dolphins wrapped up the A Grade minor premiership after a very successful season.

It was the Dolphins’ sixth win on the trot and at the half-time break they led 24-7 on the back of tries to Alfie Hill and captain Brandon Mayhew.

The Dolphins built momentum in the second half with lock Jonathan Davey working tirelessly. Jonathan’s set piece and high volume of carries proved instrumental in laying the platform from which the halves could attack.

Full-back Jordan Mayhew’s kicking game was once again impressive.

The Dolphins added three more tries to their tally with tries to Jacob Spark, Dave Grant, and Alfie Hill, who sealed the win when he crossed the line his third try.

Coach Michael Phelan had nothing but praise for his team’s effort in winning the minor premiership. Consistency has been the cornerstone of the season for the Dolphins, who have won 10 from 11 fixture games.

The Dolphins will play the major semi-final against Caloundra in front of a home crowd on Saturday with kick-off at 4pm.

The Reserve grade Dolphins also claimed a big win over the Wynnum Bugs - with a final score of 47-17.

The Dolphins went into the game with nine of their regular players out due to social events and romantic holidays, (and a stray boot at Oztag) so it was a brilliant effort from the Reserves. Noosa will now play the Gympie Hammers in the Reserve Grade minor semi-final at USC on Sunday; kick-off is at 2pm.

The women’s Noosa Dolphins scored a 3412 win over the Gympie Hammers in the final week of their comepitition. The girls trained strongly all week and, as expected, faced some tough opposition from the Hammers.

The Noosa players stuck to their game plan and were never complacent. The team faces a big challenge this weekend when it faces the minor premiers, the Caboolture Sharks, but after last week’s performance showed they are certainly up for the challenge. Kick-off in this game at Dolphin Oval is at 12.30.

Finally, the Noosa Colts prevailed 19-17 in a tough game against the Barbarians in the sec-

ond last round game of the season in the Colts comepitition.

The strong performance is sure to hold the Colts in good stead for their final fixture game this season against Caloundra. Kick-off in that game at Dolphin Oval is 10.45. The Colts look set to finish their season on the top of the ladder.

WHO’S HUNGRIEST FOR GF BERTH? The Bunnies and Canberra are both just 80 minutes away from a grand final appearance.

They go into their respective games this weekend in red-hot form but the results could come down to who is hungriest for a grand final berth. The Roosters looked shell-shocked as the Raiders bolted to a 16-0 lead after 23 minutes. The green machine dominated through the middle in an eye-catching performance before holding off the fast-finishing Roosters to claim a 22-18 victory and set up a date with the Melbourne Storm at Suncorp.

The Raiders were lethal through their attacking middle and Josh Papalii cemented his place as one of the best big men playing the game. Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad was also superb, with two crucial try-saving tackles on Brett and Josh Morris stopping the Roosters’ charge Melbourne, which has an awesome record at Suncorp, will go into the game with confidence after the week off. News from the Storm bunker is that their game changer Cameron Munster, who has been under an injury cloud, will play. Tui Kamikamica (ankle) and Tom Eisenhuth (calf) are both a chance to feature for the Storm too. If reports are correct it will be Cameron Smith’s last appearance at Suncorp but no doubt he, Bellamy and the Storm have their eyes fixed more firmly on an appearance in the big dance.

While the game will be fascinating, the two coaches Ricky Stuart and Craig Bellamy could provide their very own side show. There are no two coaches in the competition who wear their heart on their sleeves more than this pair.

Don’t expect too much change to the Raiders’ starting line-up. Stuart is unlikely to change the 17 that got the job done against the Roosters. He may well spring a surprise and tweak the starting line up and bench on game day.

At ANZ on Saturday night the red-hot Bunnies take on the Panthers. The minor premiers will be without star second-rower Viliame Kikau, who copped a week’s suspension for a dangerous throw on Jared Waerea-Hargreaves in week one of the finals.

Kurt Capewell is also an unlikely starter due to injury. There have been few chinks in the Panthers’ armour this season. Ivan Cleary’s men have been in sensational touch. It will be interesting to see if the loss of Kikau and Capewell has an unsettling effect. The Bunnies will be sweating on the fitness of Su’A, who suffered an ankle injury against the Eels. Master Coach Wayne Bennett rated the Bunnies at 70 per cent last week. If they are to become the first club out of the top four to make it to ‘the Big Dance’ they will need to bring their very best to ANZ. But never under-estimate the wily old fox, Bennett. Pulling a rabbit out of the hat is what he has been doing all his coaching career.

CROKER, ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS It has been a hellish week for NRL fans with more scandal rocking the code, so it was great to read some positive news for a change.

Jarrod Croker is without doubt one of the good guys in the NRL, both on and off the field.

On Saturday he will be either rejoicing after a win over the Storm, or lamenting another one that got away if the Raiders are beaten on Friday night at Suncorp.

Either way he will be glued to the TV in his “man cave“ on Saturday watching the running of the Kosciuszko at Randwick.

The Raiders’ club captain, his father Greg and a friend have a 20 per cent share in the Goldman trained five-year-old Intuition. The Goulburn galloper has secured a start in the richest race in Australia for country gallopers ($600,000), and will race in custom-made Raiders silks. Croker has pledged he will donate any prize money he wins to the Ricky Stuart Foundation. Intuition is sitting at around $26 in betting. The NRL needs more like Jarrod Croker.

There’s no doubt about it - TNT was playing to win.

Three out of four ain’t bad

By Randall Woodley The summer cricket fixtures are in full-swing on the Sunshine Coast and last weekend the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Teams won three of their four matches played.

FIRST GRADE: After their first round loss, the team was determined to score a win in the goldfields against Gympie. After winning the toss, the TNT boys batted first on a very dry wicket and slow outfield. This made scoring runs difficult and at the end of their 50 overs they had registered 7/189, (probably 220 on their home ground). All the team contributed with seven batsmen getting 20s, but no one went on to post a high score. Andrew Kratzmann top scored with 27 but everyone played their part with Dom Taylor a run a ball 20, Cody Pyne 16 not out off 16, and Scott Aufderheide 15 n.o. off eight at the end, pushing to what was felt to be a competitive total.

Gympie got off to a good start being 1/41 off nine before TNT’s bowling and fielding strangled their run rate and with it, they lost wickets. All the bowlers were on song with teenager Tom Stewart exceptional and, together with Scott Aufderheide (1/24) and Tom Freshwater (3/37), the trio had Gympie on the ropes. Then in the middle and end, Jarrod Officer picked up 2/17, Jacob Dennien 2/21 and Dom Taylor 1/28. In the end it was a comfortable win, bowling Gympie out for 153.

Next weekend will be a marathon for the team at Tewantin with a 50-over day-night match against Glasshouse on Saturday and the Twenty20 Finals on Sunday.

THIRDS: The team was at home to Palmwoods at Read Park in its first day-night match, playing with a pink ball. Losing the toss, the TNT boys bowled first on a quick wicket and lush outfield. Harrison Lea took the new ball and bowled a tight spell early, finishing the day with 2/30 off his eight overs. At the other end veteran Robbie Payton kept the run rate in check and took 1/8 off seven. They were backed up

by Brad Thompson (2/42), and Jason Toohey (1/22). In the end Palmwoods scored 151 with the TNT fielding much improved with the only downside conceding 25 runs off wides.

Blake Steel (42) and Pete Walker (15) got the team off to a solid opening stand of 34. Later Troy Dennien chipped in with 16 but wickets kept falling. Teenager Jack Saunders joined the 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 October, 2020

Jack Saunders was still there at the end with a fighting 34 not out. It was a good win to get the team going for the season. Next week the team plays Caloundra at their ground.

FIFTHS: The team took on the Yandina Club at Dale Officer Oval in a 40 overs- a-side match.

Losing the toss, the boys were sent into bat on what looked like a good batting strip. Openers Brendan Wright and Steven Hill started strongly for TNT, taking eight an over off the first four before both openers fell in quick succession.

Tony Watson and Ben Shaw batted patiently before Shaw was caught out trying to push the runs along. Luke Anstey, on his first game back, batted well for a top score of 19. Tight, intelligent bowling from Yandina kept the middle and lower order quiet, and with only three

players getting into double figures. Dave Baker batted patiently ensuring TNT batted out its 40 overs, finishing their innings on 135.

With an under-par score, TNT’s bowling and fielding had to be spot on. Mike Thompson and Luke Anstey opened the bowling, finding good line and length from the start and had the visitors reeling at 5/35, putting TNT back in the game. However, some dubious umpiring decisions kept the Yandina captain at the crease, and he went on to subdue the bowling attack with a sixth wicket partnership that was hard to break. But with only 135 runs on the board there just was not enough pressure on the Yandina batsmen to keep the game in TNT’s favour, and they chased down the score in the 28th over with four wickets in hand.

Wicket Takers were Mike Thomson (three), Luke Anstey (two) and Wayne Moore. Next Saturday the boys travel south to Burpengary.

SIXTHS: The team scored its second win in a row, playing against Coolum at their ground.

Coolum scored 182 with wicket takers including Euan Buxton with 2/45 (in his first senior game), one wicket each to Naveen Chand and Justin Talbot, and four wickets from the everreliable Graham Chaplin. Again, the chase was on and the challenge accepted from Craig Moore and Shane Gesell, who exploded out of the gates before copping a pearler that removed his off stump for 26. Then Brian Lee played strongly for 43 and, along with Craig Moore (24), helped set the team up for victory.

With some other late order contributions, the team passed the target with five overs to spare.

Next Saturday the team is at home against Caloundra.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Coast of kangaroo dawns About half a lifetime ago the happily loony photographer Stuey Spence and I were on a luxury motor yacht winding through the Barrier Reef islands when the unthinkable happened... we ran out of beer.

I told the skipper he’d better do something fast or Stuey would start up with his gorilla impersonations. “Don’t worry,” he assured me, “if you look up along the port bow you’ll see a narrow passage between island and mainland.

That’s Gloucester Passage and halfway along it is a place called Monte’s Reef Resort, where they’ve always got shedloads of grog. We can buy there.”

That was my introduction to Monte’s, just a strip of dongers and a shade pavilion fronting a glorious white sand beach and the deep, clear waters of the passage, perfectly protected from the prevailing sou’easters. I fell in love with the place and went back several times with family and friends through the ‘80s, and even named a good blue dog after her. And then the resort changed hands, grew in size and cost and fell off my radar.

I was reminded of Monte’s last week when we came rumbling out of the hills in Crystal Dreams, the campervan, and hit the coast at Ayr. And driving through what used to be the pleasant fishing town of Bowen and catching a glimpse of windswept Edgecumbe Bay, I was reminded of the first time I took a group of friends to Monte’s and halfway across the howling water they were sick as dogs and wanted to go home. And then, as we approached, the wind disappeared and we were in paradise.

So we drove the long way round and pulled up at Monte’s to find it closed for Covid, possibly not to reopen. It was much changed and far too big for my liking, but the beach and the view were just as beautiful as they had been all those years ago. We found a campsite nearby and settled into a few days of beachcombing bliss.

Somewhere along the way, someone had mentioned Cape Hillsborough National Park with its gorgeous rocky coves and kangaroo dawns. A place I’d never been, that had to be the next stop.

About an hour north of Mackay, the Cape’s Nature Tourist Park should have been crowded, but it wasn’t, and we found a beachfront site tucked away from company and settled in for more of the same - beach walks, fishing, Scrabble, sundowners, campfire dinners. But the point of difference here is the kangaroo dawn, something I’ve only ever experienced at one beach on the NSW south coast.

It says on the campground info sheet: “Kangaroos on beach 5.10am”, and they know the rules. At 5.09 we scrambled out of the camper and down the walkway to the sand. There they were, about 20 of them, watching the predawn grey turn to yellow.

Farewell to a Pipeline charger I was driving the last stretch home when we got the news that my old mate Michael Tomson had passed away. It was cancer in the end and not unexpected, but the sad truth was that this was merely the final stage of ‘MT’s long and painful self-destruction.

But my god, what a ride he had. Born and well-educated in Durban, South Africa, Michael and his cousin Shaun were already “busting down the doors” at the Banzai Pipeline when I met him in Hawaii in 1976. Having just finished university and evaded the draft, MT was juggling careers as a professional surfer and a magazine publisher, and he was damn good at both. The other ball in the air was a fast-escalating substance abuse, which I would find out about that winter big wave season on the North Shore, as we fell in like thieves.

Fearless, reckless, arrogant and charming at the same time, and two years younger than me, MT was my new hero. We would sit up most of the night in my room at the Kuilima Estates, drinking wine and dreaming up crazed gonzo publishing schemes, some of which came off.

MT deep at Pipeline, 1978.

MT (left) with the author, Sunset Beach, 1976.

I hadn’t seen Michael for a couple of years when he showed up one night at an Italian restaurant in Laguna Beach, California, where I was sitting at an outside table with another North Shore accomplice. “What is this - the ‘70s!” MT boomed, pulling up a chair and ordering the best red on the list. Again, we talked all night, or until the owner threw us out, and then we adjourned to the MT lair on the hill, and resumed.

By this time Michael had launched the surf brand Gotcha, which would become a global sensation and make him a multi-million-

aire, before becoming a parody of itself - the Gotcha Glacier theme park comes to mind and ending up on the supermarket shelves and ultimately selling for a fraction of its worth to the Perry Ellis fashion corporation. “My baby’s turned into a whore,” Michael moaned to me one night in California in 2005.

Michael surfed in two Masters’ Pro events I ran in France at the turn of the century, and still managed to ride big waves in front of his Hawaiian home at Sunset Beach. But after decades of unapologetic cocaine abuse, his health was shot. MT spent his final years in a

quiet part of San Clemente, where his many friends held a vigil last week as he moved on to a higher vibration. He was a tragic genius, and a true friend.

Swan launches Rabbit The former treasurer and unofficial minister for surfing, Wayne Swan, launched Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew’s campaign for the state seat of Burleigh on the Gold Coast last weekend. Apparently the former world champ and patron of the Gold Coast World Surfing Reserve has been campaigning well, and is in with a shot to win the seat for Labor.

The buyers were locals who had sold nearby and were downsizing to a home that suited them ... all on one level, nice sized 598sqm low-maintenance block with a beautiful pool.

“The property appealed to a lot of people as it had some good elevation from the back yard,’’ Rick said. “It suits the downsizers and smaller family demographic.

“Interstate people did inquire, but they were waiting for when the borders open.

“In this market anything that comes up of quality is snapped up fairly quickly.

“The auction process brought pressure on buyers to make a decision.

“It was a great result, a quick result.’’

Hollyhock has been part of a couple of phenomenal sales that Rick has achieved recently.

Included was another in the same pocket that went to Brisbane buyers.

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP Your investment is underpinned by the company you keep.

And in the case of the four-bedroom, five-bathroom waterfront penthouse at 9 & 10 Weyba Quays, Peza Ct, Noosa Heads, you are in a very good neighbourhood.

Listed at $5.5m, Jesse Stowers of Tom Offermann Real Estate has reported the sale in excess of that in quick time.

The wide jetty was a legacy from the 1980s while the complex boasted a boat ramp.

A feature was about 8m of stacker doors from the kitchen and media to the waterfront terrace.

As well as a sandy beach, there was a wide-water outlook wide water to the southeast and a bushland reserve.

The Brisbane buyers were in a multiple offer situation with Sydneysiders.

Whereas the Brisbane buyers walked through it and saw how special it was, the Sydney party could not quite understand the true value, Jesse said.

“There’s a a lot of activity happening.

We are getting the deals done.

“It’s a matter of capturing the right buyers for each property.

“People new to the market can be unaware of how quickly the market can move.’’

Jesse said motivation ranged from upgrading, downsizing or looking to leave the market indefinitely.

“Waiting could mean you potentially miss the property that ticked the boxes.

“Noosa has a limited supply. If you see the property you want, you are better off to grab it.’’

For sellers, it is time to act. With an auction campaign sellers can look at a four-week program but it needs to be ready for the first moment it is listed.

He has had some good interest on it virtual inspections as well as in-person.

“There’s definitely some strong interest there,’’ he said.

RICK DANIEL of Richardson & Wrench Noosa had a flood of inquiries on the threebedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 12 Hollyhock Cres, Noosa Heads, right from the day the auction campaign was launched.

Scheduled for auction on Saturday, October 24, the immaculate custom-built home on one level has sold prior due to the price range and the location.

“We had a helluva lot of inquiries - local and interstate,’’ Rick said.

“The first open had 15 groups through, and from that we had a party that was very interested.

“They followed that up with a second inspection that day.

“By Monday we had the first offer on the table.

“By Wednesday, it needed to be an offer strong enough to stop the auction.

“They counter-offered again at $1.045m.’’

GAME DAY AND GAME ON John Swainson and Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate had a lot of inquiry in the lead-up to the auction of a twobedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 6/140 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, on Saturday.

The renovated apartment featured a rooftop terrace and auctioneer Justin Voss looked to get a start at $650,000 on what he described as “very exciting real estate.’’

Being sporting finals time the auctioneer called half-time to seek further instructions.

After leaving it with a vendor’s bid of $700,000 there was immediate postauction interest, most notably from a potential buyer who arrived late for the auction.

“We are receiving an excellent response to this property post auction,’’ Melanie said. “Many interested parties who could not attend the auction are now making inquiries.

“We have also conducted several postauction inspections with local buyers.’’

LITTLE COVE APPEAL Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate is negotiating with bidders for the two two-bedroom units offered separately at 2 & 3/4 Bayview Rd, Noosa Heads, on Saturday.

In an elevated part of Little Cove, the address was described by a resident as “a beautiful street to live in ... so convenient to everything.’’

The units, two of four in a corner complex, have now been listed with a price of $1.425m per unit.

This Saturday, just around the corner at 1/80 Upper Hastings St, Rebekah will be offering the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with pool to the market at 2pm.

“There have been high levels of interest.

Interstate facetimes are very common these days, people considering as a residence, second home and also holiday home.

“The lift access, rooftop terrace with 360-degree views and northern terraces and pool are the biggest drawcards.

“A number of my colleagues have interested parties also - it’s a team effort.’’

BUYERS, SELLERS NEED TO BE READY The auction of 215-217 Sunrise Rd, Eumundi, on Saturday was always going to create interest - two houses offering six

A five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 194 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, has sold post-auction for $1,250,000. bedrooms, four bathrooms on 1.28ha.

Set at canopy level in the trees, the two houses by Saltair Constructions featured high ceilings, timber floors, and spacious open-plan living.

Marketing agents Jeanette Catalano and Sheridan Hodgetts of Hinternoosa said the dual living already being provided was a major drawcard.

“In the end it came down to who was ready on the day,’’ Jeanette said.

“The people who couldn’t bid on the day missed out.

“In this market you have to be ready.

“Agents will tell you there are a lot of people looking.

“But there is a mix of people at moment who have just started looking.

“You need to be ready to sell, you need to be ready to buy.’’

The property sold for $1.1m to a party that had sold in Brisbane and were renting on the Coast.

They bought in conjunction with a friend from northern NSW who was able to get across the border.

A happy story all round.

A MATTER OF MOMENTUM Dean McLure of Richardson & Wrench Noosa reports strong negotiations on 194 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, after auction late last month finished with a great result.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool achieved $1,250,000 for the sellers.

Buyers, seller and agents saw two houses on 1.28ha at 215-217 Sunrise Rd, Eumundi, sell at auction on Saturday morning. 217768

Not only was this a great result for the street, it also gave Dean the opportunity to help a fellow Noosa Waters vendor who had been on the market for more than six months.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool and four-car garaging at 66 Shorehaven Dve was listed with Dean only two days before he took 194 to auction.

“Off the back of some great momentum created by this campaign I managed to secure a cash offer of $1,225,000,’’ he said, “which was another very pleasing result and certainly a sigh of relief for the sellers.’’

ON THE COVER

PRIVACY ASSURED, ‘STONELEA’ REPRESENTS THE PINNACLE OF HINTERLAND LIVING SURROUNDED by breathtaking panoramic views, it is expertly crafted into the upper limit of ridge line - a masterpiece of elegance and exuberance.

Instilling a sense of occasion before the home is eventually revealed, whether by road or helicopter, you are greeted with dual security gates and a winding driveway snaking through manicured lawn to the main residence.

Stepping out in the stone-paved forecourt, you are encircled by lush green landscaping that conceals the view emphasising the grandness of the travertine staircase. Ascending the stairs your gaze is torn between Noosa and the ocean or forward toward the opulent entrance. It is at this point that you become aware of the sheer scale of the home, the immense weight of the structure and the unimpeded beauty of the hinterland view. Should you wish to avoid the stairs a lift accommodating up to five people will take you from your vehicle to the main level of the residence.

Although the home is of such significant stature, there is a sense of calming and warmth that can be credited to the intimacy of the spaces, astute use of textures and materials and ever-present views reinforcing the proximity to nature. Every occasion is considered in the design, from formal dining to tranquil poolside entertaining and more intimate spaces where the serenity of the surrounding trees provides a calming retreat.

No number of superlatives can adequately encapsulate the entire grandeur of ‘Stonelea’ and its equally breathtaking location. ‘Stonelea’ is a residence that can never be recreated, a one-off jewel hidden in the treasure chest that is the Noosa Hinterland - the ideal residence to immerse yourself in sheer luxury. ●

HOME FOCUS

HOME AWAY FROM HOME DELIVERING consistent high returns and repeat guest stays over the past three years, this little money generator is a no-brainer for the savvy investor. Why limit yourself to an apartment style holiday Investment, when you can have your very own ‘Home Away from Home’ and stay for longer, plus have the same facilities as a resort, which this style of luxury living provides.

The Elysium Estate has a diligent Body Corporate and groundskeepers that look after the entire estate including the pools, tennis court, gymnasium, games/family room and function centre which is all surrounded by lush manicured gardens.

This home is only moments to the Noosa Springs Golf Course, with an awardwinning golf course at your fingertips, why not advertise for group golf weekends away? This home is placed securely at the end of the long driveway providing a very private and peaceful retreat for your guests to relax, surrounded by lush green lawns and tropical gardens.

The functionality of space is cleverly designed, with the open plan living/ kitchen with gas burner island bench perfectly placed at the heart of the home and all complete with butler’s pantry. This fabulous home provides plenty of room for everyone to enjoy time alone, especially when it is movie time in the media room with surround sound and popcorn ready to go! All the bedrooms are located at the other end of the home with a generous air-conditioned master bedroom, ensuite and three good sized bedrooms all with built-ins.

There are so many individual spaces around this home including the north facing, expansive covered entertaining area being the ideal place to watch the kids play in their backyard, with plenty of room for ball games. The additional off-street car parking very welcomed, making six car spaces altogether, including the double lock-up garage….so there is copious room for a boat or caravan.

This prime location in the desirable

Elysium Estate is surrounded by Noosa’s beautiful nature reserve and gorgeous parkland with meandering nature walks through to Noosa and river and our famous Noosa Farmer’s Market, offering the finest of our local produce.

As this is an existing Airbnb business this property is approved by the Noosa Plan and can be sold fully furnished or partially furnished if required by the purchaser.
