Going global A young Sunrise Beach couple’s apparel brand has gone global, giving a voice to First Nation Australians through fashion. Proud Wiradjuri man living on Gubbi Gubbi country, Benjamin Thomson, launched the Take Pride Movement with his partner Tamika Sadler on Survival Day in 2019. The entrepreneurs are fast becoming a well-known catalyst for change in the community, after organising a local Black Lives Matter protest in June this year, aiming to close the gap between First Nation Australians and non-Indigenous Australians.

Parks pay back By Phil Jarrat

Queensland, who, along with colleagues and co-authors Dr Sally Driml and Claudia Moreno Silva, has spent much of the past three years working on a groundbreaking study of the value of national parks to the Queensland economy. “It would be so helpful if the parks had counters,” he says. The resulting 60-page report, published this month, estimates that Queensland’s 500 parks contribute $2.64 billion in spending per

had the highest number of visitors per group. For the purposes of the study, Noosa was classified as “urban”, and according to Professor Brown, this made the visitor spend extremely difficult to “disentangle”. He says: “The main issue of studies like this is that the figures have to be robust. Too many previous studies, including a major one on the Great Barrier Reef, simply counted the expenditure of every visitor along that coast, regardless of their reasons for being there, which might be completely unrelated. In our study we were very careful to design a methodology that was acceptable to the Queensland Treasury and was specific about why you came to Noosa and would you have come if there was no park, or no access to it? So I can say with confidence that our numbers stack up.” Continued page 5 12463630-DL43-20

A new study reveals that the value of a walk in the Noosa National Park is about the equivalent of two cups of coffee ... and much more about the astounding return on investment in our parks. If Professor Richard Brown looks a little distracted as he walks briskly through Noosa National Park on his way to join the Noosa Turtles’ early morning swim at Main Beach, it’s because he’s counting heads. “Even at seven in the morning I’ll count more than 100 most days,” says the Brisbane and Sunshine Beach academic, “which helps me get a feel for the overall numbers of park users in the absence of an official counter.” This is a personal bugbear of the associate professor of economics at the University of

year and add $1.98 billion - almost 10 percent to the state’s gross tourism product. Measured against the costs of tourism management of the parks, this represents a remarkable $6.30 return on investment for every dollar spent. Noosa National Park was one of four representative sites used for the survey, conducted during 2018, with a third of the visitor interviews being conducted here. Other regions were Carnarvon, North Queensland rainforest and Outback. Although the study, funded by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science, looks at the state overall, Noosaspecific results include an average spend for overnight domestic visitors of $170 (per day per person), and while Noosa had the shortest stays (in terms of hours/minutes spent inside the park per visit) of the four regions surveyed, Queensland’s most popular National Park also

ARIA nod for Katie By Abbey Cannan Eumundi’s own Katie Noonan has been delivered her 27th ARIA award nomination for the 2020 ARIA Best Jazz Album. In her 20th studio album, The Sweetest Taboo, Katie gave listeners a taste of their younger years with unique covers of iconic 1980s pop songs. Katie said the nomination was just as special as the first time.“The album has been in the ARIA Top Ten Jazz and Blue charts for over 20 weeks and it has only been out about that long,“ she said. “So, it’s very special and just to be shortlisted for the award is incredible. “You’ve already kind of won if you’ve been shortlisted because that means your peers

think this record is in the top five of the year, which is extraordinary.“ The hugely successful Australian singer was first nominated for an ARIA award in 2001, and has since won five ARIA awards across a number of diverse genres. “I remember going for the first time in 2001 and freaking out just being there,“ Katie said. “Then we won the breakthrough artist with George the next year in 2002 and that’s when we actually performed in the ceremony which was pretty wild. “It’s a great honour and I think Australia makes world-class music and we have incredibly talented jazz musicians.“ Katie said her love affair with pop music started in the 80s and she wanted to bring that

fun back to the latest album. “I wanted to take it back to just pure joy of pop music, dancing around my rumpus room with my hair brush microphone and just having fun,“ she said. Katie is now preparing for a tour with Louise King called Sunshine Sounds. “We’re finally able to do some gigs which is exciting,“ she said. “We’re going to places like Toowoomba, Gold Coast, Ipswich and then Caloundra, and Eumundi. The Eumundi gig is already sold out but we just put a second show on sale on Saturday 21 November at Eats Restaurant.“ For more information on how to get tickets to the tour head to www.facebook.com/katienoonan

The editor’s desk It was a session of swings and roundabouts for Noosa councillors last week when the application to develop a medical centre at Cooroy had some passionately debating for it on Monday and against it on Thursday. What happened behind the scenes between those three days remains a mystery. But that wasn’t the only turnaround. Back in June all councillors apart from the Mayor agreed to defend an appeal against a jetty in Noosa Waters that was just too Hamptons to be classified Noosa. Last Thursday the issue just slipped through with an agreement to settle the appeal.Well, voting began this week for the Queensland Government election with Election Day not until 31 October. If you’ve been driving around the Shire it would have difficult not to notice with the abundance of corflutes lining the streets. We now have six candidates to decide between with the late additions from the Animal Justice and One Nation parties. What I want to know is, with early voting and postal voting more popular in this time of Covid-restrictions, where will the cake stalls and sausage sizzles be happening? Will they be happening?

Quarry trucks return By Margaret Maccoll A third stakeholder meeting has been scheduled this Friday at Noosa Council offices to discuss truck movements to and from the Kin Kin Quarry and their impact on the community. Kin Kin Community president Jann Bonsall said this week a representative from Transport and Main Roads would be present, having not been in attendance at last week’s meeting. Residents say the movement of about 200 gravel-carrying trucks a day through their town and along the narrow winding Kin Kin-Pomona Road is damaging the road and threatening their safety, affecting local businesses and residents’ mental health. Ms Bonsall said at last week’s meeting quarry operator Cordwell Resources had provided the quarry’s own nine-point traffic management plan and said they would decrease the number of trucks going through the town. “I don’t think anybody’s going to get too excited until we see changes,” she said. Mayor Clare Stewart said the most recent stakeholder meeting discussed Cordwell Resources plan which focused on reducing truck movements on Saturdays to an absolute minimum and to limit loading during peak school bus periods.

Kin Kin community members protested against quarry trucks outside Noosa Council offices last week. “This is encouraging and council will continue to monitor any traffic breaches under the traffic management plan,” she said.

Council announced they would be issuing a breach notice of traffic requirements on Cordwell Resources which Cr Stewart said indicated how closely council staff were monitoring the quarry operator within the approved management plan requirements. She vowed that council would continue to strongly advocate for the Kin Kin community to ensure the quarry was adhering to the approved plan. “The operator has the right to conduct their business within the strict approved management plan, while police, Council and Transport and Main Roads also have specific responsibilities,” she said. “Kin Kin Pomona Road is a state controlled road and therefore Council has limited control over any improvements or upgrades. “There’s no doubt the quarry operations have a significant impact on other road users and residents along this route.” Ms Bonsall said at the last meeting stakeholders heard the quarry had a contract to supply material for the Bruce Highway upgrade on the Sunshine Coast and supplied material to their concrete holdings at Yandina which they were expanding. They also heard under its management plan the quarry trucks were only able to use an alternate route along Dr Pages Road to deliver

locally to the east of the quarry, she said. Council’s Development Assessment manager Kerri Coyle said the quarry approval was in place until May 2033. “The quarry was approved by Council in July 1987 subject to 12 conditions and under the planning legislation there is no ability for this approval to be revoked,” she said. “Council actively monitors and takes necessary action when required and on three separate occasions have issued notices or infringements to the quarry operators for breaches of the approval.” Ms Coyle said monitoring also included regular site visits and joint inspection with officers from the Department of Environment and Heritage. Council has instigated and facilitated regular round table discussions involving residents’ groups, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, Police and Quarry operator Cordwell Resources. “These discussions are certainly productive and are helping to open the dialogue between all parties,” Cr Stewart said “I empathise with the residents and understand their concerns about truck movements and ongoing speed issues.” Cordwell Resources representative Martin Cordwell was contacted for comment but failed to respond.

Maybe their sound lacked their usual pitch and precision but for the singers from Noosa Chorale and the Sunshine Coast Choral Society the chance to sing “Happy Birthday” was something to relish. After eight months of no concerts and weekly choir rehearsals because of the pandemic, they were just happy to be able to sing together - even if they were a bit rusty. And the occasion at La Balsa Park near Point Cartwright was worth celebrating, their choirmaster and music director, Adrian King, was observing a birthday “smilestone-his 70th. It all came as a complete surprise for popular Sunshine Coast musician Adrian who thought he was having a quiet picnic with wife Helen and their family. About 80 singers and musicians (he also conducts the Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra) turned up to not only celebrate his great day but to honour this year as being his 50th as a choirmaster. Sadly, because of restrictions like social distancing reducing the number of singers allowed for rehearsals and performances, he hasn’t had a choir to conduct. Adrian conducted his first choir in the UK when he was just 19 and Noosa Today asked him what it felt like being unable to observe his golden anniversary choral year. “It’s been really strange not being involved with singers and an orchestra.

A question of character By Margaret Maccoll In a spectacular turnaround Noosa councillors refused a development for a medical centre in Cooroy at its Ordinary Meeting that the majority had approved at its General Meeting three days earlier. On Monday last week a 4:3 majority of Noosa councillors defied staff recommendations to refuse a development application, that sought to relocate a building within a “heritage character area” to build a medical facility in Cooroy, and instead voted to approve it to make way for the construction of a medical centre. The proposed development of a specialist radiology medical centre aimed to reconfigure four lots into two lots fronting 45 and 47A Maple and 9 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 medical 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 seeks to protect heritage qualities and

Premises across the road from the proposed development. streetscape character, staff said. After social media lobbying and a flurry of emails councillors reversed their decision 6:1 in favour of staff recommendations to refuse the application and so retain the Queenslander house that sits opposite Eden Private Hospital and commercial businesses and is flanked by a vacant block then brick and tile home one side and 1970s timber house the other. At Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting Cr Brian Stockwell moved to reinstate staff’s original motion to refuse the application, retain the heritage character building and uphold the Noosa Plan.

Three out of the four councillors who had voted against staff recommendations only days earlier followed suit. Cr Tom Wegener said as a councillor he was elected to follow the town plan. Cr Amelia Lorentson said after speaking to heritage architects she had a better understanding of character buildings. She said the application was not consistent with the Noosa Plan and approving it may set a precedent that would see further erosion of heritage precincts. Cr Karen Finzel said the building was a character building that reflected the charac-

ter precinct and removing it would erode the character precinct. Councillors voted 6:1 in support of staff recommendations to refuse the application. Only Mayor Clare Stewart stood firm in voting for the application to be approved. The Noosa Plan should be upheld and character areas protected but that needs to be balanced accordingly with the needs of our community, she said. Cr Stewart said a Heritage Impact Assessment conducted in March was provided in support of the application and asserted that the house had no heritage significance as it has not been placed on the Noosa Council Local Heritage Register, the character area had been already substantially eroded by prior contemporary redevelopment, streetscape analysis supported removal and it was no longer a residential precinct. “After a site visit, I concluded that this was in fact the case,“ she said.“I also argued that the benefit to the wider community of providing necessary and vital medical services should be of high importance. We are an ageing population. Our hinterland residents deserve access to the same facilities as those residents in Noosaville and Noosa Heads. “I argued that the house should be protected but that it should be relocated to a precinct that was more suitable.“

Indigenous entrepreneur’s brand goes global By Abbey Cannan From page 1 Benjamin, who designs all the apparel by hand, said he wanted people to come together and celebrate the culture. “I started off by making myself a custom leather jacket and everyone liked it, so it just went from there,“ he said. “I know what designs I like, and I just wanted to put that out in the world and see how they felt about it, and I’ve had really good feedback. “I created the designs from scratch from the patches, to the jumpers, hoodies, shirts, socks, and I then contacted a local screen printer.“ The young family sends all the stock from their home, with Tamika managing the brand online. Since the launch, the business has taken off with 26,000 followers on Instagram and packages being shipped around the world. “I think it’s a great way to get the message that we’re sending across to all people, especially to the younger generation,“ Benjamin said. “Each piece comes with a message.

Woodworker rushed to hospital The Sunshine Coast RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has airlifted a man to hospital, after he was critically injured in a woodworking incident. The rescue chopper was called to the Noosa region, just after 10am on Monday. It’s believed the patient, aged in his 70s, had been operating a piece of machinery at a recreational facility, when a piece of the wood he was working on came loose and hit him in the head. Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics initially treated the patient at the scene, before transporting him to a nearby sports oval, to rendezvous with the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue crew. The aeromedical team worked alongside QAS, to treat the man for significant head injuries. He was flown to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, in a critical condition, under the care of an RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and QAS Flight Paramedic.

New flight paths aim to share the load Flight Path Forum (FPF), representing a community of community groups, has seized their initiative by commissioning a flight path expert to evaluate flight path options for the area. The group is looking for options to share the load to alleviate aviation impacts forced on newly overflown Sunshine Coast residents who were not properly consulted during Airservices Australia’s failed 2019 community engagement process. “This proactive step by FPF in hiring an independent, accredited aerospace designer to review flight path options for the Sunshine Coast’s new runway, seeks to minimise the noise and environmental impacts on all communities across the Northern Sunshine Coast, FPF spokesperson Vivien Griffin said. A recent Airservices presentation addressing flight path design considerations stated that “we must balance all of these flight path, airspace and other operator considerations”. It also stated “CASA requires that our activities ensure equitable use of airspace for other aviation users” and that “flight path design must avoid other air route corridors and airspace, and must minimise the impact of operations on community wherever practicable.” Ms Griffin said, “We strongly question whether the recently implemented flight paths are balanced and equitable. Not for aviation users, but for residents.“ “We also assert that the impact on the community has not been minimised, with aviation operations including recreational

It must embrace the valuable contributions of residents and businesses, and must provide for independant and adequate assessment of

existing and alternative flight path proposals. “FPF is calling on all concerned residents to jump on board. Together we can help bring about a much better outcome for our community. “You can start by coming along to this weekend’s Community Update Sessions at Peregian Beach Community House on October 24. There are four, Covid-safe session times to choose from.

Park plus From page 1 To the layman, close reading of the full report can induce a severe case of bleeding eyeballs and drowsiness, but one figure that stuck out to this reader, was Noosa’s “consumer surplus value” of $7.70 (or two cups of coffee) per visit. Put simply, because National Parks are free, this is an estimate of the non-monetised value of the experience, over and above the amount spent by the visitor getting to and from the park. Now, if you add up a nice walk and a surf or swim at Tea Tree, and throw in a family picnic, that’s damn good value. The actual survey was completed in 2018, with the report written in 2019 and the review process taking up most of this year, but in the year in which the interviews were done, Queensland national parks had five million domestic visitors, almost equally divided between overnighters and daytrippers. In addition to this, an estimated one million plus international tourists were park visitors. In 2020 anecdotal evidence from park management personnel indicates that, while international and interstate visitation has been seriously reduced through Covid, many parks, including Noosa, are busier than they have ever been. Says Professor Brown: “The information we are getting since the study was completed is that Covid-19 has created new highs in visitor numbers and expenditure, and in Noosa you can see that in terms of traffic that you normally only see at Christmas or Easter.” Interestingly, Noosa seems to have benefited more than the parks of the greater Gold Coast, with many visitors choosing to take refuge in places perceived to be quieter and safer. Richard Brown, who in his late sixties is still a keen and active swimmer, walker and standup paddler, is at pains to point out that this study is much more than an academic exercise. He says: “I think with any academic study, we have to answer the question, what’s the point of all this? It’s because the true value of our parks and protected areas is often hidden, and if people don’t know the numbers they’re more likely to think about repurposing these places to turn them into money. So apart from all the other important functions of our parks for the environment and enhancing quality of life, it’s vital that we can demonstrate their economic value both to protect them and to ensure that they are given adequate budgets.” Fortunately, this is already happening, with the study being used as input into the new Queensland Government Protected Areas Strategy announced recently.

Faith in beating cancer By Margaret Maccoll The diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumour in June completely shattered the life of otherwise healthy Cooroy Mountain woman Faith Wild and led her to adopt an array of natural treatments and a positive attitude in a bid to beat the cancer. So rare is her cancer, known as pineal parenchymal tumour of intermediate differentiation (PPTID), it was only classified by the World Health Organisation in 2000 and accounts for only a fraction of central nervous system tumours. Because of the small number of people affected only limited studies on the cancer and potential treatments have been conducted.Before her diagnosis Faith had worked hard for the past 25 years in her Barkbusters dog behaviour business and had a fiveyear plan to pay off the mortgage on her home. She went to see a doctor because she “was feeling a bit off and dizzy”. The doctor suggested a brain scan. “An hour and a half after, the doctor rang and said you have to get to hospital now,” she said. She went to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital on the Friday and they operated on the Monday. They drilled a hole in her head to release blocked cerebral fluid but were unable to remove the tumour, she said. Faith said the doctors suggested radiation but she decided radiation was not for her and she couldn’t risk the severe potential side effects that included blindness. “If I had the money I would have run straight to (brain surgeon) Dr Charlie Teo,” she said. “I thought this is no good I’ll have to do my own research and come up with a treatment.” Nine years ago Faith was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a lumpectomy doctors told her the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and she needed more surgery but she decided instead to beat it on her own. Faith said she worked hard to beat the breast

cancer, using a combination of yoga, acupuncture, diet and supplements. She gained advice from doctors overseas, developed a protocol and beat the cancer. “When I got the brain tumour I thought that

was the training ground,” she said. “But brain tumours do not behave normally. This is rare.” Faith has stopped work, is selling her house to find somewhere cheaper and more accessible and her car as she is now unable to drive. She

is investing all her time and money into getting well. “It takes five hours a day to do the protocol,” she said. “That includes meditation from the minute I open my eyes.” Faith’s range of heath treatments include skin brushing to remove toxins, coffee enemas, exercise, yoga, red light therapy, pulsed electro-magnetic field therapy, specialised supplements and a clean, organic, vegan diet. She takes advice from a homeopath and an expert doctor in India and is constantly researching new treatments. Last week she had an episode of extreme nausea and dizziness and rang an ambulance. She said a brain scan showed an improvement in her condition and she will have an MRI at the end of the month. Faith praised her doctors and oncologists for their support despite her not progressing with their recommended radiation treatment. “They’ve been fantastic. They are keeping an eye on it,” she said. She worries about her pet dogs who are very important to her and sometimes wonders how this could have happened to her when she was so healthy. Faith is now on a pension and has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to help pay for her treatments. “I am dedicated and single minded and making all the necessary changes to get well,” she said. “It’s all very daunting but I am determined to get on top of this and I will need assistance to pay for treatments, moving costs and any related expenses whilst dealing with this new life. This is uncomfortable for me to ask for help, but at this time, I am putting my story out there and hope one day to report I am cancer free.” For more information or to help visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/faith-has-arare-brain-tumour

Satan flies over Noosa By Abbey Cannan The Noosa Temple of Satan raised funds to fly a Satan sky banner over the Sunshine Coast to promote their upcoming controversial event in Noosa. The aircraft departed Caboolture at 1pm, flying up the coast and arriving in Noosa at 2pm on Wednesday 21 October, before returning to Caboolture along the Bruce Highway. Brother Samael Demo-Gorgon from the Noosa Temple of Satan said the event was to publicise the upcoming Satanic Mass at the Noosa Council venue The J on 30 October. “Australian skies have often been emblazoned with religious signwriting so the Noosa Temple of Satan has decided it was time that Satan should also be seen flying across our beautiful skies,“ he said. “We would also like to use this opportunity

to thank PM Scott Morrison and the LNP Government for the recent work they have been doing around the issue of Religious Freedoms. “Thanks to the concerted efforts of our PM there has been a phenomenal growth in Satanism in Australia.“ In a letter to Noosa Today Noosa Anglican Church Reverend Chris Johnson expressed his disapproval of the upcoming satanic event.“It is sad that we have come to a point in our Australian society that the active seeking after darkness and the work of Satan is now acceptable,“ he said. “Many will see the worship of Satan simply as a curiosity and not realise the dangers. There are many societies in our world today facing the full fury of evil. “We need to realise that our society cannot hope to maintain the liberties we have enjoyed in the past if people choose the darkness. There is a better way.“

Hidden passenger located Police have discovered a Victorian woman hiding in the cabin of a truck during a major COVID-19 compliance operation targeting freight vehicles in Queensland. Officers from Taskforce Sierra Linnet and the Road Policing Command’s Heavy Vehicle Enforcement Team joined local police in key state border control sites as part of Operation Sierra Angle. Under Queensland COVID-19 Border Direction, heavy vehicle operators travelling into Queensland on a Freight Border Declaration

Pass must comply with restrictions and departure requirements to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19. More than 180 heavy vehicles were intercepted for compliance checks across three sites - Cunningham Highway at Goondiwindi; Leichardt Highway at Goondiwindi and New England Highway at Wyberba. Officers also conducted heavy vehicle road safety patrols on major highways including intercepting vehicles for roadside breath and drug testing as part of the operation on Wednesday.

Cupcake? What cupcake? Be quick to snap them up.

Cupcake Day at RSPCA Noosa RSPCA will this Saturday hold its annual fundraising Cupcake Day and plant and garage sale. The local RSPCA animal care centre is instrumental in giving second chances to animals in need. More than 1100 animals find new families each year through the Noosa Centre but they couldn’t do their work without the assistance of the community. This year the shelter was forced to shut down to the public due to Covid-19 restrictions while it continued its work helping animals in need but it has reopened under Covid-guidelines. Its online adoption applications will continue to operate and people can check out the animals available for adoption on the website. The RSPCA call centre is also open for animal rescue and cruelty complaints to call on 1300 ANIMAL (264 625).

Anyone can host a Cupcake Day to raise money for the RSPCA but this year in its fifth year of the event Noosa RSPCA will hold its Cupcake Day on Saturday 24 October from 8.30am to 4.30pm. Shelter manager Nicole Cleary said this year there would be plenty of plants for sale as well as Bric a brac, clothing. shoes, loads of books, DVDs and other Op shop items. “We are also selling yummy cupcakes, slices drinks and hot dogs,” she said. And pets won’t be missing out with microchipping and hydro bathing available on the day. “We are hoping to raise $3500 and that will take the Noosa grand total to near $10,000,” she said. The Noosa RSPCA Cupcake day and plant and garage sale will be at the RSPCA shelter, Hollett and Noosa-Eumundi roads, Noosaville.

Bridges funding flows in Four bridges in Noosa will be replaced or upgraded with almost $5 million in funding from the Morrison Government’s Bridges Renewal Program. Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien said the funding would be matched and the projects would be managed by Noosa Council. “These important infrastructure works will deliver safer bridges for Noosa and generate jobs throughout the construction phase,“ Mr O’Brien said. “This vital funding will allow Noosa Council to fast-track their highest-priority infrastructure projects, and it will support local workers, households and businesses through a difficult time, positioning Noosa’s economy for a strong recovery. “There will be long-term economic benefits as well by ensuring improved access for local traffic, freight and tourism to keep Noosa and its hinterland areas open to all road users.“ Noosa Council will receive funding for the

following projects:

· $2,000,000 to replace Doonella Lake Bridge to replace the existing timber Co· $450,000 oroy Belli Creek Road Bridge with a concrete bridge

to stop corrosion and strengthen · $1,750,000 Garth Prowd Bridge to replace the timber Lawnville · $755,437 Road Bridge with a concrete bridge “These works will make Noosa’s bridges and road network safer for all vehicles, as well as provide work for local construction companies and keep cash flowing through local businesses and into the pockets of local families,“ Mr O’Brien said. Round 5 of the Liberal and National Government’s Bridges Renewal Program is delivering more than $145 million to upgrade and replace 205 bridges which have been damaged or are deteriorating and improve transport infrastructure. “By improving our road network this funding will also make key freight routes more efficient, delivering long-term benefits to driv-

ers, businesses and local communities,“ Mr O’Brien said. “This includes our truckies, who form an essential part of the backbone of our national economy and have been working tirelessly during COVID-19 to keep shelves stocked, hospitals supplied and the economy moving. “As we start to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our economy, the continued roll-out of road infrastructure projects is important to support local jobs, drive economic growth and ensure all Australians can reach their destinations sooner and safer, and that is what the Morrison Government is doing with this funding in the 20-21 Budget.“ Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has welcomed the new Federal Government funding for bridges, saying it will be a huge boost to the shire. “It is perfect timing as we prepare for the post-COVID-19 future,“ she said. “Building infrastructure is the ideal way to create jobs, stimulate the economy and improve the liveability for residents,“ Cr Stewart said.

Cr Stewart said the Federal Government has invested significantly in the Noosa Shire and its ongoing support is certainly appreciated. “Improving the road network helps attract investment but more importantly caters for the future growth of the shire,“ she said. Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport Scott Buchholz said 50 per cent of this funding would benefit communities impacted by the ongoing drought and earlier bushfire events. “$146.97 million in funding through these rounds will go to councils affected by bushfires, drought or both - providing secure work for local construction contractors and businesses who have felt the cumulative impact of these events and now COVID-19 while delivering lasting infrastructure that will benefit the region for years to come,“ Mr Buchholz said. “This includes livestock transport industry projects that will directly support communities currently impacted by drought, being funded under Round 7 of the HVSPP.

Early voting starts this week for the State election Early voting began this week for the State Government election and in Noosa registered voters can vote until Friday 30 October at Units 4&5/6 Swanbourne Way, Noosaville from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm on Saturday. You’ll hear a lot about preferences during the Queensland election campaign. This election you have to number every box on the ballot for your vote to count - a change that first took affect at the last state election in 2017.

In Noosa you’re voting in a seat with six candidates. After the first count of votes, the candidate with the lowest vote is eliminated. Anyone who put that person at #1 will see their vote redirected to the person they put as #2. That process continues until somebody hits 50 per cent of the vote, winning the seat. Political parties don’t get to decide where your vote goes - only you can do that. But they can provide a how-to-vote card, suggesting how to number the candidates.

Political parties make decisions on how to direct their supporters to number candidates in order to maximise their chances of winning seats, or make it more difficult for their opponents to win enough seats to form government. Voters don’t have to follow any party’s how-to vote card. Just number every box, based on your choice. On Election Day on Saturday 31 October polling booths will be open at Sunshine Beach State School, Bicentennial Drive, Noosa Bap-

tist Church, 1 Weyba Drive, Noosaville, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 115 Eumundi Rd, Noosaville, Tinbeerwah Hall, 863 Sunrise Rd, Tinbeerwah, Tewantin State School, Goodwin St, Tewantin, Noosa District SHS, 2 Tulip St, Cooroy, Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten, 13 Rufous St, Peregian Beach, Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club, 24 Boreen Pde, Boreen Point, Pomona Memorial School of Arts Hall, 6 Reserve St, Pomona, Cooran State School, 31 James St, Cooran, Kin Kin State School, Main St, Kin Kin

Darrell Redford feels privileged to call this beautiful area his home, where he lives with his wife, two daughters, and companion animals. Darrell is committed to enacting positive change for animals and the environment. “As a father and uncle, I am deeply concerned about the destruction of our natural habitats and loss of both land and sea biodiversity, and I am determined to leave a better world for our younger and future generations.” Darrell has had a successful career in management within the horticulture sector, and is now semi-retired with a small tourism business. “As a manager of people, I bring with me excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to listen effectively and work in a collaborative manner, traits I believe are essential if I am to properly represent both human and non-human animals.” Throughout his life Darrell felt an affinity with the ocean and all its inhabitants. With a keen awareness of the need to protect our most precious resource he has been a long

Darrell promises to work tirelessly to protect both land and sea animals, to staunchly oppose the continual eradication of wildlife through land clearing, and advocate for the growth of a plant-based economy beneficial for all.

Noosa Today did not receive a response from One Nation candidate Tracey BellHenselin to questions on her background, the issues important to Noosa or her proposed actions to resolve them. The following has been extracted from her Facebook site. I have a Hertiage of Patriot passion running through my veins, second youngest of five children of a hard working and sporting rural living family. I love sports such as backyard cricket,touch football, tennis, and keeping active with bush walking in the Glass House Mountains and hinterland, snorkelling, and walking on our beautiful beaches with husband Paul (local business owner) and adult children. I feel honoured to stand for the Australian people, which both my Grandfathers did in WW2. Having worked with crops and sheep/ cattle myself, I have a heart for the farmers and producers of Queensland.My career background started in my business, sales and marketing with a Diploma in Business and Marketplace that is the foundation of my entrepreneurial vision in my own business - Women of Worth and Identity - which I founded and have directed since 2014, connecting the vision and bringing change to younger peoples’ lives with employment/ skill set barriers by implementing business mentoring and references to expand their employment capabilities. Formerly I had worked in child services/ protection which lead me to be Queensland

State Manager for Destiny Rescue which rescues children trapped in sex trafficking. Working internationally in this area has given me a unique skill set revolving around the protection /safety of children and the family unit.I have had the privilege of working with government corporations, medium business, community groups, notfor- profit organisations, children’s homes and women refuges. I regularly engage in public speaking on these topics and co ordinate corporate events that bring positive change into the lives of women, men, children and the family unit. I advocate against the sexualising of our children in the school through the deception of the safe school program at cost of $8 million to the tax payers. No program has the legal right to take away the parents authority and go against the parents core and moral values that they raise there children on. I believe in traditional marriage and value the family unit. Every child needs a mum and dad both are equally important and designed to nurture identity, worth, character and love in each child’s heart, soul, mind. I feel Australia’s cost of living is too high,putting pressure on families that are in debt for electricity and water. The Hinterland and Coast is the most beautiful place in Australia - the best place to live, work and raise a family. Let’s protect our community, land and families and stand united under One Nation and the Australian law and put the people’s hearts and voices first.

CAMPAIGN NOTES RHONDA PRESCOTT | SANDY BOLTON

Online election battle By Phil Jarratt While staggered voting over two weeks seems to have taken the drama out of the election countdown and much of the wind from the sails of election campaigning in Noosa, on social media the good fight is still being fought with considerable enthusiasm, although far too much of it is coming from the spittle-flecked haters who inhabit the Noosa Whingers, Sooks and Crybabies Facebook page. This Village Glee Club for ancient vendettas, conspiracy theorists, Covid and climate change deniers and retired develop-or-perish lobbyists, where potshots are frequently aimed at this newspaper for an alleged political bias that doesn’t exist, seems to be broadly in support of the LNP’s James Blevin, although as I have pointed out in these pages before, young James is perfectly capable of taking care of himself without the hindrance of the haters, as he proved with a solid performance at the Chamber of Commerce debate last week. The non-appearance at this event of Labor’s Mark Denham, who pulled the pin at the last minute, citing personal reasons, sent the Whingers into paroxysms of anti-Labor tirades. While this was totally over the top, Mark hasn’t really explained himself adequately, and dodging a debate at this late stage of the campaign sends a signal to the voters that your heart’s not in the race. Meanwhile for the three candidates who showed up - the One Nation and the Animal Justice candidates didn’t bother to respond to the invitation - the debate was an adequate if

Canines for Sandy. uninspiring forum for them to strut their stuff. Watching the streaming, which unfortunately left out the opening remarks, my first thought was that it showed that in Noosa we have three strong candidates who are worthy of consider-

Picture: COURTESY GAIL RAST ation for your vote. Maybe we have four, but Mark was otherwise engaged. Since the debate debacle, however, Mr Denham has stepped it up on his Facebook page after what can only be described as a lackluster

start, and has been showing some spirit in his attacks on frontrunner Sandy Bolton, although he could make more use of Spellcheck and perhaps an editor. Although I’ve had trouble deciphering the true message of the Greens in recent years, I was impressed with the style and substance of Rhonda Prescott’s debate performance and her subsequent social media content. Soft-spoken but authoritative, she is the best Greens candidate we’ve had in Noosa for a while and I’m sure the polls will reflect that. James Blevin is a bit wet behind the ears, but he’s a charmer and he’s proving to be one hell of a grass roots campaigner. It also doesn’t hurt his cause that he’s got a couple of cagey old operators like Bruce “Davo” Davidson in his corner. Perhaps his most embarrassing moment was when the Feds’ Llew O’Brien left him looking like a tree in the forest when he ignored him at the Black Mountain bridge photo call and presser, but Llew made good with songs of praise at a later stop. And that leaves the indefatigable Sandy Bolton. Anybody who thinks it’s easy being an effective independent in Queensland’s one house simply hasn’t tried it, but Sandy keeps smiling across both sides of the aisle and never gives up. Like Jacqui Lambie, she’s smart and she’s a sponge and her limited experience in politics has become an asset rather than a liability. And her love of her community is what drives every level of her campaign. It’s a formidable combination and right now she’s in the driver’s seat.

Investment boosts algae Noosa biotech company Provectus Algae has raised US$3.25 million in seed funding to further cement its position as an emerging leader in the optimisation of algae to produce speciality ingredients. The seed round was led by Hong Kong based Vectr Ventures, with participation from Maropost Ventures and additional family offices and private investors. “Our vision is a world where sustainable high-quality ingredients for all industries are produced in a way that has a positive environmental impact, Provectus Algae’s technology has the potential to do just that,” CEO and founder Nusqe Spanton said. “We are extremely excited to welcome this stellar group of investors aboard our journey to assist us in making this happen” The Provectus Algae team operates out of their recently completed biotech foundry in Noosaville where they have begun the scaleup of their next-generation synthetic biology platform. Provestus Algae has developed a process to accelerate nature, optimising micro-algae to produce a whole new range of natural prod-

Untapped potential for products from algae. ucts, in a process described as “Precision Photosynthesis“. Their technology autonomously programs the algae using a combination of proprietary lighting, robotics and predictive intelligence to produce valuable speciality ingredients.

“Using Precision Photosynthesis&trade; and high throughput experimentation we are able to quickly learn the perfect environment each species requires to produce high-quality ingredients for a range of industries,“ Mr Spanton said.

“We estimate there may be more than 5 million algae species on our planet, and only a handful of these have been commercialised to date, we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of what’s possible with algae.” In just a few short months, the company has secured its first commercial partnership with a global food and beverage ingredients supplier, focusing on producing algae derived natural flavourings, fragrances and colourants. As part of the next phase of growth, the company has also appointed Ryan Bethencourt, CEO of WildEarth and renowned food and synthetic biology investor as a company director. “COVID-19 has accelerated the importance of rethinking the utilization of resources across our food and agriculture industries,” Vectr Ventures managing partner Alan Chan said. “The Provectus platform, in many ways, shows that the solution already exists in nature. By programming microalgae to produce a diverse spectrum of ingredients and compounds for global partners in a way that is more efficient, clean, and secure is an enticing proposition that we are excited to get behind.” For more information visit https//:provectusalgae.com

Business Survey checks on local COVID recovery Noosa businesses are being called on to help gain a better understanding of the shire’s COVID-19 recovery. Noosa Council has launched Phase two of its Business Roundtable Resilience Survey - a follow-up to the one done in June this year. Mayor Clare Stewart said the latest Pulse Check survey is vital to helping plan the shire’s ongoing economic recovery. “The information will help us to better advocate to Government for more business

support initiatives and track how the pandemic has changed local businesses’ needs,” she said. “The results will guide where we need to focus and identify exactly what businesses need so we can develop appropriate initiatives to help them bounce back,” Cr Stewart said. The first survey, supported by the Business Roundtable, revealed that while 80 per cent of Noosa businesses managed to remain

open during the most restrictive period of COVID-19, about half experienced a fall in revenue of nearly 60 per cent. “The easing of restrictions have certainly been a catalyst to a stronger economic outlook.” “But this will be a long, challenging recovery for everyone,” she said. Economic Development Manager Anthony Dow encouraged local operators to provide feedback.

“We appreciate things are still difficult, but we need the data to track how the continuing impacts have hit local business,” he said. “There were over 680 responses from the last survey, so it would be fantastic if we could generate a similar response,” Mr Dow said. The survey is open until November 1 and can be found here https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/upCNkb

Food school for future By Margaret Maccoll

Farm school at Shambhala

Craig Hubbard, children Isaiah, 13 and Kaia, 11 his partner Chrissy and baby Birdie Skye. for the community was limited so he decided what he needed to do was teach people to grow their own. “It made me see how vulnerable we are as a community,” he said. Craig has developed a 12 week garden transformation course teaching people to transform their backyards or even balconies into food growing spaces. “Each week builds on the next. At the end they will have a perpetual garden they can keep harvesting from,” he said. Now online the course is being accessed by people locally and across the world.

Shambhala Farm

“Covid has given people a wake up call. We can start making a difference. We can do it one seed at a time. Just start growing some and get back to nature.” Craig said growing food wasn’t something he was taught as a kid but he now knows people can grow a significant portion of food. His course he believes demystifies farming and makes it accessible. He said there was some work involved initially in establishing gardens in beds, backyards or pots but then maintaining it could take as little as 20 minutes a day. “It can be the most enjoyable time of the day if it’s done

right,” he said. Shambhala Farm sells its produce each Sunday at Noosa Farmers Market and Saturdays at Kawana Waters Farmers Market as well as through its FarmBox Home Delivery service. They offer regular yoga classes, workshops, women’s circles and retreats. “Our vision is to encourage others to grow and live an inspired life by growing real food, nourishing our body and connecting through movement.

It was the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008 that led Craig Hubbard from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast to become a farmer and the Covid crisis that launched the Shambhala Farm owner on a path to teach a million people to grow their own food. Craig had a successful wheatgrass business supplying restaurants in Sydney but knew nothing about farming. As a dad he felt a responsibility in growing food. “I realised vegetables is where real health is at,“ he said. Craig soon discovered older farmers were retiring, taking their knowledge with them. After moving to the region to follow his farming aspirations Craig searched for and found an farmer in Maleny and worked for him, learning his methods of organic farming then went looking for his own farm. Craig found a 12-acre property at Doonan owned by a retiring farmer who tried to discourage him from his ambition, telling him he was receiving the same income for his produce as he had 20 years before. “He didn’t want me to end up broke like he was,” he said. But Craig’s belief that every community needs good access to food pushed him forward and he decided to give it a go. “I’d implemented everything I’d learnt from the farmer,” he said. “I continued to educate myself from farmers around the world. We realised it was more than a farm, it was a way of life.” Shambhala Farm uses organic farming methods based in strong soil and ecological health with compost the lifeblood of the farm. Backpackers came to stay and work and the community supported them through sales at the Noosa Farmers Market. “That gave us fuel to keep going,” he said. Craig said he found it tough going. The days were long and he was falling into unhealthy habits. He needed to put his life back into balance. “I had to remind myself I was here to be healthy,” he said. Having been a yoga teacher he brought yoga on to the farm and started sharing his farming knowledge through workshops, teaching people about composting and farming techniques. His relationship ended and he carried on alone for a few years. Then at a yoga holiday in Bali he met his current partner Chrissy and returned more inspired with a more balanced lifestyle and in June the couple welcomed baby, Birdie Skye. When Covid-19 hit they felt themselves fortunate to be able to grow food and were committed to provide food for the community. Their farm box sales increased significantly. To meet demand a network of sustainable farmers has been formed . Craig said most people’s daily lives are unconnected with nature and the growing of food but the Covid-crisis made people realise the value of locally grown food. It made him realise his ability to grow food

Turtles poisoned

Rising Star award winner Dr Krystina Lamb.

Business leaders celebrated at USC A business leader whose collaboration skills brought about success for a large group of companies in Papua New Guinea while also tackling the widespread community issue of domestic violence has been named USC’s Outstanding Alumnus for 2020. Colin Vale of Caloundra, who graduated with a Master of Business Administration from the University in 2010 while leading the Anitua Group on Lihir Island in PNG, was among four winners announced today. USC’s Regional Achievement Award went to 2010 Business graduate Raphael McGowan of Mooloolaba whose social enterprise, called ‘bakslap’, produces a sunscreen application device. And the Rising Star award was shared by 2016 PhD graduate Dr Krystina Lamb, who is now researching renewable and hydrogen energy technology, and 2010 Business (Tourism) graduate Ali Couwenberg, who is a senior property marketing professional in Melbourne. Colin, who completed his MBA at USC while working in PNG on a fly-in fly-out basis and raising three sons with his wife, Lynette, on the Sunshine Coast said he was thrilled to be named this year’s Outstanding Alumnus. “I’m super impressed that I’ve received this award,” he said. “I think it’s fantastic and very much appreciate it. “When I was in the classrooms here (at USC), I often thought I can take this straight back to the workplace and then implement those things.” Under Colin’s leadership as Executive Director of the Anitua Group, the organisation transformed into the most successful and largest landowner group of companies in PNG, growing to more than 4,500 staff and 20 companies ranging from mining, security, property, construction, camp management, retail, investments, logistics, farms and drilling. Colin also demonstrated his commitment to the people of PNG through training, personal development and initiatives that resulted in a reduction of domestic violence. “One of the things I was most proud of was the elimination of violence against women campaign that we undertook, starting on Lihir in Papua New Guinea,” he said. In his initial role on Lihir as a hospitality manager, Colin noticed many of his female staff were subjected to domestic violence. So he led a massive program across the Anitua Group to educate all employees that domestic violence was unacceptable. 18 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 October, 2020

“This included meetings with employees and partners as well as having all males employed by the Group and partners of females pledge to end domestic violence,” he said. “Anitua joined forces with White Ribbon and the Business Coalition for Women and we were instrumental in initiating the fight against domestic violence - first within the Group and then the greater Lihir and other parts of PNG.” After almost three decades of working overseas, Colin recently returned to the Sunshine Coast and started a health and fitness centre, Impact Strength and Fitness, at Warana. He describes the centre as “edgy, fun, modern and motivating” and plans to franchise it. Regional Achievement Award winner Raphael McGowan had worked in Sydney after graduating in 2010 and became involved in initiatives, such as cycling and walking across the USA and Australia, to raise awareness and funds for research for melanoma skin cancer. In 2017, he returned to the Sunshine Coast

to create his sunscreen application device ’bakslap’. Working from USC’s Innovation Centre, his first product was designed, manufactured and launched with the involvement of more than 30 USC students, and he gained a Sunshine Coast Business Award. Dr Krystina Lamb is now based at the National Hydrogen Materials Reference Facility at Griffith University in Brisbane, which has had a significant impact on promoting hydrogen technology in Australia. In 2018, she and her team at CSIRO demonstrated a world-first technology of producing ultrahigh purity hydrogen from ammonia, with the technology helping to unlock the potential of renewable hydrogen energy. Ali Couwenberg (nee Marshall), works for international property and infrastructure group Lendlease. She is currently leading the marketing and placemaking for Melbourne Quarter, a $2.9 billion development and sustainable urban regeneration project in Melbourne’s CBD.

A world-first USC study will examine if toxic chemicals from ingested microplastics could be harming Australia’s marine turtles. USC PhD candidate Caitlin Smith’s research will build on previous studies that have confirmed that about half of the world’s sea turtles have eaten plastics. “We know that marine turtles are dying from ingesting plastic particles,” Ms Smith said. “However this is the first study to explore the toxicity of these particles and the health risks to turtles from chemical and heavy metal exposure.” The research will quantify the amount of microplastic found in the gastrointestinal tracts of turtles and use biomonitoring tools to calculate the oxidative stress, which can lead to cell and tissue damage from chemical exposure. “While plastic can cause blockages in turtle’s intestines and even pierce the intestinal wall causing septicaemia, there may be other factors contributing to deaths,” Ms Smith said. “Along with conducting necropsies on dead turtles to determine what they have ingested, we will gather blood and tissue samples from live turtles in the field to provide a wider picture of their health. “The study will look at the correlation between the health of individual turtles to their exposure to debris ingestion and answer the question of whether poor health is due to the physical presence of debris or its associated toxicity.” Ms Smith, a Marine Species Conservation Officer with the World Wide Fund for Nature - Australia (WWF-Aus), has relocated from Canberra to USC’s Fraser Coast campus to conduct her PhD research under the supervision of Senior Lecturer in Animal Ecology Dr Kathy Townsend. A recent study by Dr Townsend, a renowned expert in plastic ingestion in marine turtles, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) found that a turtle had a 22 percent chance of dying if it ate just one piece of plastic. Ms Smith’s study will focus on populations of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) found in Queensland waters off Heron Island, Lady Elliot Island and Stradbroke Island, and in Moreton Bay and Gladstone Harbour. “This will allow us to compare the health of turtles from more pristine areas with others where there are environmental pollutants originating from human activity and high levels of chemical and heavy metal contamination from industrial run-off,” Ms Smith said. “These chemical and heavy metal contaminants have the ability to bind to biofilm that often coats plastics floating in the ocean, increasing the risk of toxic effects once ingested.” The research project is funded by USC and through a Destination Australia Scholarship from the Federal Government.

Trick, treat or stay home a socially distanced trick or treat · - While we love it spooky and creepy, not · Creating treasure hunt in your front yard, even if it is everyone does, so make sure your costume

By Andrea Beattie, Founder and Publisher Of Hallozween, Australia’s First Halloween Magazine Last week, Sunshine Coast Halloween fans got the news they’d been waiting for with Queensland Health giving trick or treating the green light across the state. With Halloween becoming more popular in Australia, it’s welcome news for lovers of the October 31 celebration. But how can you safely celebrate in a pandemic? In Australia’s first Halloween magazine, Hallozween, we outline some of the many ways you can stay safe - and have fun - this Halloween including:

· · · ·

just for kids in your neighbourhood; Have plenty of sanitiser on hand and make it fun with handmade labels such as ‘Boo to the Germs’, or ‘Vampire Rid’; If you usually get a lot of visitors, use skeleton hand garden stakes to mark out 1.5m waiting spots at the entrance to your display; Make sure everyone in your trick or treating party is safe, and accounted for, at all times. In all the fun and excitement it’s easy to get distracted and the next minute, “where’s Timmy?!”; Take younger kids during the afternoon, and always carry a torch and phone at night;

isn’t too scary if you’re going to a party with preschoolers. Some Halloween fans who welcome trick or treaters have gone to great lengths to keep everyone safe this year by building candy slides that dispense treats at distance, so post in your local Facebook community groups to seek them out. If you hand out lollies, wash your hands well before preparing treats and regularly on the day. All treats should be individually wrapped. Not trick or treating? Here’s how you can still get into the spirit of Halloween: Get the kids to help you decorate your home

THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN

and yard with spider webs, fake tombstones in the yard or creepy skeletons, and try to make it drive or ride-by friendly; Host a virtual MASKerade party or costume parade via Zoom or play pin the nose on the witch; Play Halloween games such as spooky tenpin with ‘ghost pins’ made from cardboard rolls and a pumpkin ‘ball’; Decorate a ‘Halloween’ tree with spiders webs, tinsel and homemade trinkets; Paint or carve some jack o’lanterns; Make some creepy cool Halloween party food and cocktails. And if you don’t love Halloween, just remember that kids have already missed out on so much this year. So if they want to get dressed up or go trick or treating, let them and don’t be a Halloween grinch. Hallozween is available from hallozween. com.au/hallozween-magazine

Open Studios come alive By Margaret Maccoll Artists opened their doors for the second weekend of Noosa Open Studios Art Trail and visitors travelled across the shire to see their diverse artworks. At Doonan Bronwyn Innes displayed her animal-inspired sculptured lamps at her studio alongside the wooden furniture of Kevin Hart. Bronwyn, who raises funds for the RSPCA and rescues dogs from drought areas, said dogs were the preferred subject for her works. She doesn’t sell her lamps to the public but does commissions and loves teaching others,

offering regular one day workshops. A cabinet maker by trade Kevin Hart normally works on oil and gas rigs offshore but his work came to an abrupt halt with the Covid-19. With bills and a mortgage to pay Kevin turned his hand to creating bespoke wooden pieces. Sculpture dominated the Moon Mountain Gallery at Eumundi with the works of Nick Warfield a standout exhibition. Warfield who grew up in Gympie and has a brother in Peregian Beach, now lives south of Coffs Harbour. He had hoped to reunite with old friends during the Open Studios exhibition but was unable to attend because of Covid-

restrictions. His works, made from recycled car panels, bring to life local wildlife including parrots., kangaroos and an award-winning brush turkey. Around the corner from the gallery, three women came together to showcase their painting, pottery and mosaic. Kerry Norman has been creating her quirky pottery figures for the past 10 years. The faceless works depict mannerisms that people identify in their friends and family. Lisa Jones was painting a portrait of a man one day when she looked for a way to make him appear happier.

“I put a goldfish on his head,“ she said. “It made him happy. I liked it. People started liking it. It’s fun.“ Since then her collection has included Elvis with a hound dog on his head and the Queen with a corgi. Jackie White has been creating mosaic artworks for the past 20 years. It’s a hobby that occupies her at her Sunshine Beach studio that continues to grow. During Open Studios she sold a number of her works and several commissions.

Who are we parenting? Do you repeat the mistakes of your past? Are we driven to action by the nagging thought that my parents should have done this or that. For example, my parents should have pushed me to study chemistry. Is there a wish for our past rolling around in our minds? If we can right that wrong then our children’s lives will be, well, perfect. Then there is the ‘it was good enough for me, it is good enough for you’ mindset. For example, ‘I never went to private school, why should I pay for you to go to a private school when there is a perfectly good school down the road’. We see our children through the lens of our past and our successes and failures are amplified. Are you guilty of directing them into things we did or maybe we wanted to do as I am when sending all my kids to karate classes? In reality, I should have enrolled myself, not my kids, in karate. COVID came, we stopped karate and no one missed it. We did less and they enjoyed their other sports more. We see our kid’s future and potential and send a decree from our heart that our children will succeed. Then there is the other modus operandi for parents of placing themselves last on the list. The problem with this is the parent ends up stressed, tired and cranky with their kids. When we are with them, we are not showing up as the parent we want to be. I have been guilty of this, too. My challenge for you is to notice, just be mindful of which pattern you are operating in today. Is it a thought, a mindset or just

your default mode of putting yourself last? Is it helping or hindering you and your family? Trying to fix the past could be the best thing that you ever do for your child. For example, maybe as a child your family was evicted, and now you own your own home and are mortgage-free. When you are being triggered by your kids? Are you hungry, thirsty, tired or stressed? Or has their behaviour reminded you of something that happened in your past that you don’t want to see in their future? I know I am being triggered when I join the screaming match. This parenting gig can be tricky and there is no magic bullet. The good news it is just one day at a time. It is easy to focus on the behaviour we don’t like. However, that behaviour is a message that someone’s brain is not coping. I invite you to join our Keep Calm workshop where you will learn Mindful parenting tools to keep your cool and adopt frameworks to change your mindset. Mindful parenting techniques can help you connect with your kids during conflict. My objective is to give you skills to keep calm so you can calm the farm. Often it is our reaction that can derail the day. If you would like to participate in a twohour workshop, Keep Calm, it is on November 14, 2020 at Noosa Leisure Centre. Start 9.00am. Cost $80. Please email me to book your place. If courses and workshops are not your gig and you would like the faster, bespoke approach, I also offer one-on-one coaching.

in Australia for Mortgage Stress and deferrals along with rocketing unemployment reaching 20 per cent in the 18-25yo age group. Businesses are also now have great difficulty finding employees which may seem odd given the unemployment, and employees are now finding it almost impossible obtaining accommodation that is affordable. Historically in our town we have had division over development/business working with other community groups and that has caused friction. Now more than ever we must all work as one, as the tough times are actually still in front of us, and not behind us as many think.

Hospital celebrates Noosa Hospital is celebrating an important milestone with more than 1,000 local residents accessing its ophthalmology services in the past year. Private ophthalmology services recommenced at Noosa Hospital in August 2019, giving residents the latest eye surgeries, right in their own shire. Chief Executive Officer Justin Greenwell said it was wonderful residents no longer needed to travel for the treatments. “It’s so important to have this service close to home because when we’re talking about people’s sight, it’s vital that they get any problems sorted quickly,” Mr Greenwell said. “We are so fortunate to have such skilled surgeons performing these procedures out of Noosa Hospital and we’re pleased to provide them with the latest technology to do their work. It’s all about aiming to provide the very best health care to Noosa residents.” In the past year, Noosa Hospital’s private ophthalmology services have included cataract surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, eyelid surgeries, laser treatment for glaucoma, and injections for diabetic eye disease and agerelated macular degeneration. Approximately 50 per cent of patients underwent cataract surgery. Associate Professor Kristopher Rallah-Baker said the Noosa Hospital facilities allowed locals to be treated quickly. “A diagnosis like macular degeneration needs to be treated quite rapidly to prevent permanent vision loss and we know timely cataract surgery reduces the risk of falls, broken hips and extended hospital stays so it’s im-

portant people are seen quickly,” Assoc. Prof. Rallah-Baker said. “A lot of people hold off because they’re frightened of surgery but people shouldn’t be afraid. The surgical team is absolutely fantastic, they’re patient-focused and my patients are always thrilled with the level of care they receive.” Dr Madeleine Adams said Noosa Hospital offered great convenience for locals because many older patients were reluctant to drive long distances for treatment. “World Sight Day was October 8 so if people are concerned that something isn’t quite right with their eyes, don’t sit on the problem. See your optometrist or GP and get a referral so that you can claim the consultation with us on Medicare,” Dr Adams said. “I really enjoy operating at Noosa Hospital the members of the theatre team have a great depth of talent with extensive experience in eye surgery.” “Ramsay has invested in good technology as well and that really does make the difference. We have cutting edge technology here and continuing that investment will maintain Noosa’s position as a top ophthalmology provider,” Dr Adams said. Noosa Hospital is an acute medical and surgical facility located in a peaceful bush land setting. It provides a comprehensive range of inpatient and day services across a wide range of specialties. Equipped with advanced medical, surgical and diagnostic technology, Noosa Hospital is able to provide high quality care to patients.

Council receives top nod Sunshine Coast Council has been awarded the Australian Achievement of the Year Award at the MAV Technology Awards for Excellence for the delivery of its International Broadband Submarine Cable project. The MAV Technology Awards for Excellence recognise outstanding team and individual efforts in the use of technology to improve service delivery and efficiency to local government organisations or communities. Award judges commended council for delivering an amazing project and noted that the cable would provide Queensland’s first direct international data and telecommunications connection to global markets. Council facilitated the connection of a new international submarine cable to Maroochydore in March, following an international submarine cable contract agreed between Sunshine Coast Council and RTI Connectivity Pty Ltd (RTI-C). Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson welcomed the recognition of Coun-

cil at a national level for improving service delivery and efficiency for our community. “The cable network has provided our region and beyond with extraordinary capacity to accommodate fast, reliable transfer of data across the world,” Mayor Jamieson said. “This award reinforces our council’s position at the forefront of thinking outside the square, securing new revenue sources and pursuing opportunities to generate economic and employment growth as a major dividend for our residents, supporting our aspiration to be Australia’s healthy, smart, creative region. “This project was jointly funded by Council and the Queensland Government’s Jobs and Regional Growth Fund, which contributed $15 million towards helping make this investment-generating project a reality,” Mayor Jamieson said. Sunshine Coast Council shared the top gong with Alpine Shire, a Victorian Regional Council.

Who will win art prize? Forty incredible artworks by artists from across Australia are now adorning the walls of Caloundra Regional Gallery for the Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2020 exhibition. From a record 711 entries, the finalists are vying for the major acquisitive prize of $25,000 sponsored by Argon Law and Sunshine Coast Council. This year’s exhibition reflects exceptional 2D arts practice across Australia, encompassing a variety of mediums. Finalists include established and emerging artists, such as Michael Nelson Jandamarra, Hiromi Tango, Natalya Hughes, Bundit Puanthong and Joanne Currie Nalingu as well as Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2015 winner Robert Fenton and local artists Stefan Dunlop and Veronica Cay. Community Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the exhibition demonstrated a shift towards artworks with stronger narratives and bolder expressions of feeling, colour and pattern. “From COVID-19 inspired work to abstract,

poignant and thought-provoking reflections on the world in which we live, this year’s exhibition has it all,” Cr Baberowski said. “In the 15th year of the Sunshine Coast Art Prize, and the 20th anniversary of Caloundra Regional Gallery, it’s an extra special year for the selected finalists to be involved. “Don’t miss this must-see exhibition, and when you visit, make sure you cast a vote for your favourite work in the People’s Choice prize.” The Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2020 will be judged by high profile and accomplished HOTA Gallery and Visual Arts Director Tracy Cooper-Lavery. The winners will be announced on Thursday, November 19. The exhibition will close on Sunday, December 6. The 40 finalist artworks can be viewed online by visiting the gallery website - gallery. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au. People’s Choice votes can also be submitted online, as well as in the gallery.

Tourism industry welcomes plans for the future The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) welcomed the recent election announcement at the Sunshine Coast by the Premier, Hon Annastacia Palaczszuk, of tourism initiatives under her future government. QTIC Chief Executive, Daniel Gschwind said, “Tourism operators and employees are watching eagerly to see how the major parties propose to work with the tourism industry to unlock its potential to drive Queensland’s economic recovery. “The investment measures announced to-

day are a welcomed indication that tourism, a front-line casualty of COVID-19, is in not forgotten as policies are mapped out. The $74 million promised investment goes some way towards meeting the industry’s priorities for the next term”. QTIC presented a full set of policy and funding priorities to all election candidates, including recommendations for regulatory reforms and public infrastructure investments. On the list is an expectation to see the tourism portfolio allocated to a senior

cabinet Minister and additional support to re-build aviation access in Queensland. “Funding allocations for visitor attractions, a Tourism Activation Fund and additional resources for Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs) were all on our list and we are pleased to see these commitments. We look forward to further announcements, including from the LNP, about the other policy measures that will allow tourism operators to re-boot the enormous capacity that tourism has to deliver jobs, regional growth and sus-

tainable development for our state. “Additional investments in tourism generates rich returns for all Queenslanders across all regions and communities. “When that tourism dollar stops, entire communities suffer. “Needless to say, we are also looking for the next government to provide clear steps towards a timely re-opening of borders that allows for an effective continuation of our great health record and also a return to business with some certainty,” Mr Gschwind said.

DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY 7MATE, 8.10pm

The jokes come thick and fast in this riotous comedy. Ben Stiller (pictured) is way over the top as the sleazy, narcissistic owner of Globo Gym, who wants to take over a nearby gym run by slacker Vince Vaughn. Needing $50,000 to save his club, Vaughn assembles a team of no-hopers to compete in a dodgeball tournament against Stiller. The banter aims low and hits every time in one of the ﬁnest dumb-but-fun comedy you’ll ever see.

STACEY DOOLEY: LOCKED UP WITH THE LIFERS SBS VICELAND, 10.35pm

Never one to shy away from tough topics, English journalist Stacey Dooley is at one of America’s most radical women’s prisons, Iowa Correctional Institution for Women. Warden Sheryl Dahm is determined to make a difference in the facility, reconsidering the way her inmates are treated. Historically, prison rules are created to control violent men, but the women who end up in her care are more likely to be victims of violence and as such, Dahm is trying a different approach. Dooley is keen to discover how allowing therapy dogs, makeup and sartorial freedoms is affecting life in the facility, particularly for the 10 per cent of inmates serving life sentences.

SUNDAY

A STAR IS BORN SEVEN, 8.10pm

Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut was a box-office winner, with the heartfelt remake proving that the Hollywood star is a talent behind the camera as well as in front of it. The familiar story follows a musician named Jackson Maine (Cooper), who helps gifted young singersongwriter Ally Campana (Lady Gaga) find fame, although Jack’s numerous personal problems threaten to derail his life. Nominated for eight Oscars, A Star Is Born is undeniably a tearjerker, but it is a convincing take on a well-worn story. Lady Gaga is a revelation in her big-screen role, confirming her as a major acting talent in addition to her status as a modern pop icon.

Week-in, week-out, the Have You Been Paying Attention? gang are putting their tremendous comedic chemistry and broadband connections to good use, delivering a consistently hilarious show every week without even being in the same room. With consummate quizmaster Tom Gleisner at the helm, no topic is oﬀlimits, from unusually named Aldi products and contentious current aﬀairs to reality TV and politicians behaving badly. This week, Gleisner is joined by regular Sam Pang, radio presenter Ash London and The Masked Singer judge Urzila Carlson, along with comedians Lloyd Langford and Tim McDonald, to see who can remember the most about the week in news. Ash London appears in Have You Been Paying Attention?

STEPPING INTO A NEW ROLE

IN BRIEF Meet your councillors Councillor Community Chat sessions are on again on Friday, October 30. Residents can catch up with councillors from 10-11.30am at: • Mountain Stop Cafe - 4/8 Reserve St, Pomona • Outside Cooran Community Store12 King St, Cooran • Larder and Baked - 1/29 Sunshine Beach Road, Noosa Junction No need to RSVP, just turn up.

Are you ready? The bushfire and storm season is here, so it’s important to be prepared. There are simple steps you can take. Visit getready.qld.gov.au for details. COMMUNITY MINDED: Cheryl Pattison oversees the Ageing Well Noosa program which helps local seniors stay active and healthy.

Cheryl Pattison’s personal experience as a volunteer helps her in her work within Council’s Community Development team. “I know how important it is for community groups to have somewhere to turn for help even if it’s just a hand to navigate red tape.” Cheryl and her colleagues work with Noosa’s 300-plus community groups and oversee programs such as Ageing Well Noosa, which helps keep local seniors active and healthy.

Cheryl’s just been seconded into a temporary State-funded role to help boost Noosa’s disaster resilience and support the recovery from last year’s bushfires. “From last year’s fires we learned that staff at evacuation and recovery centres, for example, weren’t prepared for some of the challenging conversations they had with people impacted by the disaster. So we’ve run a series of mental health first aid workshops to help them better assist the community in tough times.”

RESIDENTS HELP TACKLE DUMPING Council staff investigate tip-offs to nab offenders Council staff have issued more than $7000 worth of fines for illegal dumping in Noosa’s parks, bushland and other public areas recently. Waste Collection Officer Gary Dolton says information from residents has led to many of the fines. “There seems to be more residents working from home and observing incidents of illegal dumping, and we’re grateful for their assistance,” he said. Information such as a description of the offender and the make, model and registration number of the vehicle are all useful. Council also runs a surveillance program which catches a lot of illegal dumping on film.

Mr Dolton said with fines ranging from $266 to more than $2000 for illegal dumping, it wasn’t worth the risk. “Many items we see dumped illegally can either be recycled for free, or disposed of for a small fee. By comparison, the fines for illegal dumping are significant.

Soon, “accidental counsellors” such as coordinators of community organisations will be offered similar training. Cheryl’s also running Connecting Noosa – a program of free activities. See noosa.qld.gov.au for details. “It’s been a tough year for our residents. This is an opportunity for people to connect, get outdoors and meet people, which helps to improve mental health – the better we all feel the more emotionally resilient we become as a community.”

COULD YOU BE OUR NEXT RADF VOLUNTEER? Put a spotlight on your passion for the arts. Council is currently seeking nominations for Noosa’s RADF Committee. If you have an active interest in the arts, and you’re available to attend two meetings a year, plus you have a good understanding of the creative and community sector, you could be the ideal candidate. The voluntary role will be pivotal in promoting the grants program and assist in assessing applications. Nominations close November 8. Applications are also open for the latest RADF arts grants. Apply before November 23. Visit noosa.qld.gov.au/radf to find out more.

Tense Council Decision It was a nail biting few days in Cooroy after the 4 new councillors voted at Monday’s General Meeting to allow a 100 year old house be removed, against planning staff recommendation, from the Cooroy Character Precinct. Thankfully the residents of Cooroy rallied around and showed their displeasure at their heritage being chipped away, and the Noosa Plan ignored, and let the councillors know how they felt. By Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting Crs. Wegener, Lorentson and Finzel had had the good sense to inform themselves about the importance of conserving the Character Precinct intact, and voting within the framework of the Noosa Plan, and voted for the staff’s recommendation, along with Crs. Juresivic, Wilkie and Stockwell. Cooroy residents are very happy with the outcome. Thanks to all 6 of those councillors. The one dissenting voice was that of the mayor.

Satanic Concerns I am writing to express my concern about the Satanic worship that is planned for Noosa on 30 October Halloween. The reports about what is planned are very disturbing and it is sad that we have come to a point in our Australian society that the active seeking after darkness and the work of Satan is now acceptable. This is a sure sign we have lost our way. Many will see the worship of Satan simply as a curiosity and not realise the dangers. There are many societies in our world today facing the full fury of evil. Why would you want to put your foot on the slippery slope that leads to so much pain and suffering? Unfortunately the flagrant celebration of darkness that is planned is but a sign of the wider rejection that this is God’s world. We are accountable to a good, loving and just Creator who has shown us how to be in right relationship with himself and with one another. We choose to go our own way to our peril. We need to realise that our society cannot hope to maintain the liberties we have enjoyed in the past if people choose the darkness. There is a better way. Rev Chris Johnson Noosa Anglican Church

Living With Covid Governments thrive in times of crisis, with politicians and the media openly exploiting popular fear to further their own agendas. Covid is a typical example. Fortunately the good people of Noosa seem to understand this, and I’ve been impressed by the extent of their knowledge. One neighbour pointed out that the reason Queensland has succeeded so well in containing Covid lies in one simple thing: pure dumb luck, while NSW had very bad luck and Victoria suffered from acute government incompetence. Another friend asks why, when the government’s original brief was to “flatten the curve”, it embarked on a futile attempt to eradicate the virus while simultaneously trashing the economy. Another wonders why media “experts” tells us a vaccine will save us all, but those who have recovered from a Covid infection (and therefore have at least temporary immunity) must still abide by all social restrictions. Yet another tells me his GP has advised him not to line up too quickly for a vaccine, as it can take up to five years or more for longterm effects to appear. Finally, another questions the accuracy of Covid tests, noting he has been unable to find figures on its “sensitivity and specificity” (medical terminology for false positive and false negative readings). The latest medical data suggest that Covid is now considered a “mild” disease for most of the population, with 80% asymptomatic, but potentially deadly to the elderly and infirm. With its high elderly population, Noosa residents are rightfully grateful to have avoided contagion but let us not be too quick to praise government alone for this. There are many factors involved and we must learn to live with Covid, just as with influenza or any other communicable disease. I do not, however, want to live in fear in a world dominated by exaggerated media hype and bloated political egos. To be truly well-informed, we should look away from the biased mainstream media and consider other portals such as online websites, podcasts and dedicated opinion pieces. My own views, for example, have been broadened by the likes of Skynews and Alan Jones, and the coming election is an opportunity for us all to have a say in our future direction. John Boland Noosa

Thanks For Saving Building Many thanks to councillors Stockwell, Jurisevic, Wilkie, Lorentson, Wegener and Finzel, who voted in support of the council staff’s recommendation to refuse the development application for removal of the beautiful old Queenslander from Maple Street in Cooroy. The new councillors, after considering feedback from the community and further information from heritage experts, clearly showed how much they value community input and the new Noosa Plan. Julia Walkden Cooroy

Biosphere At Odds With Quarry The absence of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation in the community debate about quarry trucks passing through the hinterland villages reinforces the perception, however ill-deserved, that the Foundation operates remotely from our daily lives. I note these words on its website: “Our Biosphere reserve status helps Noosa demonstrate to communities around the world how environmental protection lies at the heart of a community’s prosperity and success.” How does that worthy aspiration sit with the reality of an extractive industry plundering the natural assets of OUR biosphere, and trucking it past our doors every few minutes in an operation set to continue until the Kin Kin quarry operating licence expires in 2033?

How can Noosa councillors sit comfortably; simultaneously administering the quarry management plan that allows this to occur while promulgating a Noosa Plan that proclaims an objective of maintaining the lifestyle and peaceful ambience of idyllic rural villages? On this matter, they are hopelessly compromised. Perhaps the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation and Noosa Council will take notice should the people of the Hinterland mobilise to petition the United Nations Economic, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, which has conferred world Biosphere status on Noosa, asking UNESCO to revoke the official Biosphere designation because the operation of the quarry and the truck movements it generates runs counter to the Noosa ethos of humankind living in harmony with nature. Maybe that is what’s needed to convince the Foundation and the council to take decisive action on the Kin Kin quarry beyond merely counting trucks and holding roundtable discussions. Brian O’Connor, Pomona

Put Money In Public Transport Deb Frecklington’s policy to rebate $300 for every car registered costing $1.15 billion would be better spent on making public transport free in Qld. This would get more cars off the road, reduce congestion and resultant road upgrades, and allow the State a chance of catching up with the maintenance of the poor condition of much of the existing road net-

work. Noosa has proven the value of free public transport for reducing cars on the roads for years now. Surely it’s time. Refunds will do little more than funnel the most money where its needed least - Clive Palmer’s car collection. Joe Jurisevic Tewantin

Valued Art Like so many other locals and visitors, I have had the pleasure and privilege of visiting numerous artists studios during this year’s Noosa Open Studios events. This celebration of local artists started on October 3rd, with an auction at the Noosa Botanical Gardens, of 29 locally made deck chairs, each having a work by a local artist. The auction raised $14,500 for NOS, and was a great showcase for many of the 92 artists who opened their studios to visitors, and potential clients. Two soirees were held during the NOS, featuring art and music. In the first, an open garden sculpture event at the property of Lynn and Ron Scott, was a sell-out, featuring a sculpture tail of exotic metal birds and animals. Two

models of wearable art ventured into the landscape to be photographed, and were a magnet for Lynn’s heard of Brumbies, who wanted to see if wearable at was edible. The purveyors of wearable art are keen to expand this feature of the NOS next year, as it has already become a very popular form of art in New Zealand. NOS was supported by a handful of generous sponsors. Hopefully, in future, more sponsors will come on board to facilitate the continuation and growth of this event. We are very fortunate that Noosa has attracted so many talented artists. This year’s NOS has been a huge success, with many artists experiencing a constant stream of visitors, and many sales being made. Congratulations must go to Trevor Purvis, President of a hardworking team of ten people who have made

this year’s NOS such a terrific event. It has opened up the possibility of Noosa becoming a pivotal centre for the visual arts. Also to Yanni Van Zijl, whose deckchair event kicked the NOS off to a great start. Joy Ringrose, Tewantin

Dear Ms Coleman I would like to draw your attention to an article published in Noosa Today on Friday 9th October written by Trevor Pepy. I am referring to the restaurant review regarding Thomas Corner in Noosaville. The article showed a complete lack of journalism skills and research by Mr. Pepy. Thomas Corner changed hands in January 2020 whilst the article implied David Rayner was the current owner/chef of the es-

tablishment. Mr. Rayner was the only person mentioned in the article and he has had no affiliation with the restaurant since early January 2020. The new owners and entirely different staff team were not mentioned or given any credit for the different direction they are taking with the venue. In fact, there was no reference to any of the new initiatives they have commenced. Blinda Frew Trevor Pepys responds: I was referring to David Rayner in a historical sense only. Trevor welcomes criticism, but please try to spell his name correctly. And speaking of keeping up, it has been quite a few years since Ms Coleman was associated with this newspaper.

On The Soapbox

Look to future, not past By Ingrid Jackson Thursday’s Noosa Council Ordinary Meeting was déjà vu. On livestream before our very eyes, we watched the metamorphosis of the newly elected council into the old council. Hopes of a more progressive approach were dashed. Just as the Wellington council did in 2016, the new council voted against a medical centre, this time in Cooroy, reversing an earlier 4-3 vote in committee. It left Mayor Clare Stewart alone standing in the interests of the health and medical needs of the community. The Cooroy locale applied for is directly across from the Eden rehabilitation hospital. But staff recommended refusal of the application on the basis that under the Noosa Plan this is a ‘character precinct’, although the house is not heritage listed. The old timber house on the block is not fit for medical purposes under Australian standards. The applicant, Dr McMenamin of Noosa Radiology, undertook to conserve the house but move it elsewhere, replacing it with a new medical building with its design echoing some features of old Queenslanders. In the committee the vote was 4-3 against the staff’s recommendation to knock back the proposal. But the losers in this vote - Crs Stockwell, Jurisevic and Wilkie - who favoured the refusal - decided to use the next three days to fight back. Instead of getting a medical centre and a heritage building on an appropriate site, the community missed out on both. So how did a 4-3 vote for the medical centre turn into a 6-1 vote against it? Immediately after Monday’s meeting, Cr Stockwell posted a home-made video of ‘character’ houses on his Facebook page, urging people to “let my colleagues know your views” to oppose the original vote. This was shared immediately by Cr Jurisevic on his Facebook page and Cr Wilkie followed suit with a call to action on his own page. This one-sided advocacy stimulated much social media comment and many emails to councillors urging them to change their mind and refuse the application. And so three councillors back-flipped and the proposal sank. Only Mayor Stewart voted for the centre, pointing out that by 2036 30 per cent of the Noosa population is forecast to be over 65 and 44 per cent over 55. She also revealed the owners of the ‘heritage’ house had told her it had been renovated and no longer reflected its previous 100-year old character. This stupefying decision took me back to my days as a brand new councillor in 2016. Back then Dr McMenamin of Noosa Radiology had proposed to purchase and develop a block of land opposite Noosa Hospital for a medical centre incorporating a PET scan and angiography, which Noosa lacked - and still lacks. Even though I argued in favour, the council unanimously knocked the proposal back, my novice vote included. This turned out to be a momentous turning 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 October, 2020

Former Noosa councilor Ingrid Jackson point for me. I reflected that, in meekly following the mob, I had participated in a decision that was not in the community’s best interests. I understood that, having been elected as an independent, I should always carry that obligation to place community interest first. And, furthermore, I suddenly realised that I was now part of a regressive, negative, narrowly-focused council. I resolved I would never again allow sectional pressure to trump community interest. The next four years of my term saw me battle for better governance, greater openness and a will to always act in the best interests of the

community, no matter what pressure was applied to me. I beat a lonely but successful path to secure significant improvements in transparency. And the council experienced its own comeuppance at the 2020 election when the shire voted for a new mayor and, for the first time, put three women councillors in office. In both 2016 and 2020, the proposal to build a medical centre adjacent to an existing hospital was a progressive and logical attempt to provide a health hub in a medical precinct. I fear that this 2020-2024 council is showing the same signs of regression that I fought dur-

ing my term in office. Meanwhile, Noosa’s hinterland population is growing and the need for a medical centre is real. Oddly the Noosa Plan provisions for medical precincts only in coastal areas. So here we are. Another application for a medical centre refused by Noosa Council, with no attempt to find a suitable solution. It seems that in Noosa Council, everything new is old again. It’s time for the community to back its mayor and demonstrate to councillors that they are there to enhance the shire, not regress it.

New coordinator Lea Bye said the market layout had been changed to create a food market in the middle and stalls separated to comply with covid-restrictions. She said the online radio Liquid Radio would be streaming from the markets and other new items included a jumping castle with a climbing wall to follow. Lea also runs the Noosa Junction Twilight Markets and Mooloolaba Sunset Markets as well as other local events and music festivals. She said stallholders were pleased to be back. “Some of the stallholders have been here for 30 years. They haven’t missed a market,“ she said. Lea said she expected the Noosa Junction Twilight Markets to reopen next month when Covid-19 restrictions were relaxed. Market income goes toward funding Peregian Surf Life Saving.

The European invasion By Phil Jarratt In her 1996 Noosa Cook Book, restaurant pioneer Leonie Palmer writes: “What really brought me out of my inherent AustralianBritish food fixation was the arrival in town of two larger than life characters - Luc Turschwell, a Frenchman brought up in North Africa, and Pierre Otth, a Swiss-Frenchman - who brought with them a lifetime of culinary influences.” This urbane yet eccentric duo was to dominate Noosa’s emerging food scene from the mid-1970s until into the new century, creating landmark establishments like Coco’s, Belmondo’s, Gaston, La Sabbia, La Plage and Café le Monde whose influences are still felt today. How Luc Turschwell ended up in Noosa is a story that would fill a book, and one day it will, but not until the sprightly 79-year-old quits his current job teaching cooking. Born in Algiers in 1941, the son of a French military officer stationed in the then-French colony, his first memory is of running through the streets to a bomb shelter, but his second is the smell of his mother’s fresh-baked bread. At university he was caught up in student resistance during the war of independence and, after a pitched gun battle in the streets in which more than 40 were killed, he was forced into the army. On his discharge in Paris, he hitch-hiked south, and in Greece he met a beautiful Australian girl called Lyn, and together they worked in an Israeli kibbutz, were robbed of their passports and savings at the Iranian border, worked their way through the subcontinent, spent Christmas 1968 on the deserted beaches of Bali, and finally made their way to Sydney, where they started a family and a successful clothing business. But the road beckoned again, and this time the plan was to drive around Australia to Perth, then ship their van to India and travel overland to France. But paradise got in the way. Pierre Otth’s early life was equally glamorous and adventurous. Born in Lausanne after the war, he discovered cooking when he earned a merit badge for it in the Boy Scouts, and decided it would be a useful trade to have when he realized his ambition to travel the world. After an apprenticeship at the BeauRivage Palace, he cooked for the Aga Khan and numerous royals in St Moritz before running restaurants in London and attending the Ecole Hoteliere Lausanne.

Pierre, the over-qualified hippie, 1970s. in a kombi, his light bulb moment came while swimming naked in Goa - this was what he wanted to do with his life! Arriving in Australia, he ended up in a commune near Yandina, which inspired him to put his last cash into a plot of land in the Obi Obi Valley to start his own. But the need to work first brought him to a little village on the coast. Luc: When I was living in Sydney I was in the

Picture: SUPPLIED bridge world and one of the players told me about a place called Noosa Heads where I should look up a lady who was also a bridge player. By this time Lyn and I had two boys, Jean-Pierre who was two-and-a-half and Pascal who was six months. We arrived in Noosa and I discovered a restaurant called Chanson de Mer whose owner was going to France for three months and she needed a replacement chef. So I took the job.

Pierre: I drove my kombi into Noosa in 1975 and saw a place called Chez Fred. I was the most over-qualified hippie in Queensland, and when I told the guy what experience I had, he said no one could afford a fully qualified chef in Noosa. So, I kept looking and I got a job at The Grotto in Noosaville for $4 a night. Luc: We called it the grotty Grotto because it was disgusting. Pierre: The woman in charge was taking the fish out of the freezer in the morning and putting it back at night, so I wasn’t impressed with that. I worked there every night and every day I was at Granite Bay swimming naked. I met Luc on the beach one day and a couple of weeks later he comes up to me, we’re both naked, of course, and says that he’d been offered a restaurant but he couldn’t take it because he already had one organized in Hastings Street. He’d told the guy I’d be perfect for it. Luc: I got him into Coco’s and he gives me 10 percent discount on the first night! (Laughs) I always call Pierre Mr 10 Percent. Pierre: It was called Coco’s Bar and Lattice Courtyard Restaurant [actually Coco’s Palm Garden Caf¨¦], so it took me three weeks to remember the name of my own restaurant! I changed it around a bit and just called it Coco’s. Luc: No, you called it Coco’s because at the time you were going out with a girl called Coco, you were sleeping with her in your kombi. Pierre: Really? I don’t remember that. It had been a Japanese restaurant for a few months, operated by two lovely gay guys, but they couldn’t make it and they bolted. It was beautiful. You sat on the veranda and you could watch the moon rise over the ocean. Luc, let’s go back to Chanson de Mer. You’d never been a chef or managed a restaurant? Luc: No, it was an accident. The only thing I knew about cooking was my mother’s North African food, and as a student I’d worked in a few restaurants, so I told the owner, sure, let’s do it. Lyn was the waitress and I was the cook. One night a local guy took me out fishing and we caught a lot of fish, so I made a bouillabaisse and put it on the menu. Lyn comes to the kitchen door that night and says a guy wants to talk to me. I went out and he said, you made this? You must open your own restaurant in Noosa. He was a bank manager named Owen Putney but we called him Owen Plenty.

Luc and Pierre, South Pacific Resort. Pierre: Owen became everyone’s manager. Luc: He was the only guy who could get money for us. I found a place on Hastings Street and got a cheap lease, put a kitchen and a courtyard in and opened Belmondo’s. It was the first time there had been tables and chairs on the street, and the council didn’t like it because they said it wasn’t hygienic. I said sorry council, this is the way we do it. A few years later they were allowing us to do it and charging royalties. Pierre: Renting the footpath to the restaurants was my idea, I convinced the council. Luc: In no time at all - I don’t know if it was the smell of the garlic or the chillis frying - we became very successful. Pierre would come in sometimes and tell my customers, I have a restaurant down the road, you should come! Pierre: It was difficult because Coco’s was so far away and at night it was very dark to walk out there. But every Sunday night we had a jam session and everyone came. There’d be hippies sitting in the street outside listening to the music. I had a really good customer who used to book a table full of adults and one full of children. He came to see me one Sunday and said he had to have a table that night, but I said it’s Sunday jam session and it’s booked out already, but I said I could make him a table next to the garbage bins. Well, he came with some people that night but it was all crazy busy in the kitchen, so I didn’t take much notice. A week later people started telling me that [restaurant critic and wine merchant] Len Evans had reviewed the “world class” dishes he’d had at Coco’s. He didn’t mention the garbage bins. I didn’t even know who he was, but it worked! Luc: Len came to Belmondo’s in a table of 10, we had Barry Charles playing so it was noisy, I didn’t know who he was either, but the following weekend there was a page on Belmondo’s in The Australian, and after that I was packed day and night. Pierre: To be honest, before this I think the locals were not taking me seriously, just this hippie in a sarong. At the time Hastings Street had two vegetarian restaurants, a Bali shop and a bong shop. It was an alternative but progressive place to be. The mixture of different people was fascinating. Even the straight people were not that straight! We thought we could create a society of free spirits. I sold Coco’s after a few years and then I met Bill Shipton, the developer doing Noosa International on Noosa Hill, so with the help of architects Gabriel Poole and John Mainwaring, I designed a restaurant which they called Pierre’s. Luc: At that time I was doing Belmondo’s II, which was a much bigger, modern extension of the same restaurant, where Moneypenny’s is

And then I got a divorce and I got ripped off by a developer, so when I opened Caf¨¦ le Monde on the site of Damiani’s, I had to borrow money at 15 percent, but it was the biggest success ever in Noosa. Pierre: After doing Pierre’s, I went to Sydney for a while, but when I came back I found my new restaurant site at a place on Hastings Street called the Bavarian Inn, just a hole in the wall, very ugly. But I knew I could make it work. My wife Colette and I bought it and stripped the whole thing, took the lederhosen off the wall and used an unused outdoor area, and we called it La Plage. Luc: I opened La Sabbia in 1991 and had it until ’98. It was amazing. We had a pool table and live bands, and then one day some of the business guys came to me and said, this is not good

We’re going to run out of space, so tell me about your last Noosa restaurants. Pierre: After La Plage I got divorced and went to India to an ashram. When I came back in ‘95 I started The Boathouse in what was an old fish and chip shop. It had been a derelict squat for a long time, it was horrible and it had no zoning. The Melbourne owner sold it to me at a very reasonable price, and [mayor] Bob Abbot helped me get the zoning through council. I opened in ’97 and sold it in 2002. Luc: Pierre put me in touch with the owners of South Pacific Resort and we designed a really

cruisy space in keeping with the whole place, Hawaiian themed and called Hula Moon. I put on some great chefs, and we had a terrific time there, we looked after all the Hawaiians who came for the surfing festival. What are your favourite memories of the Noosa you found all those years ago? Luc: Arriving here and finding this lack of modern housing and such beautiful scenery everywhere. There were still timber shacks on Main Beach and only a couple of thousand people. Pierre: For me Noosa represented a place that was like Goa with an idyllic lifestyle but where I could make a living. It was easy living. Coco’s didn’t even have a lock on the door, I just shoved a pot plant against it. It was paradise. Friday, 23 October, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 37

In uncertain times the committee of Noosa Arts Theatre is looking to food to calm their thoughts and their latest production Food For Thought is sure to be a night of laughs and fun. Join them for an entertaining evening of one act plays penned by talented playwrights and performed and directed by local Sunshine Coast members. There is something for everyone, quirky, funny and thought provoking all in one package. Cupboard Love written by Jean McConnell and directed by Miranda’s Dressing Room, is a hilarious two hander. Peggy (Jenni McCaul) and Jane (Jane Rivers) come to rest after jogging. They find to their delight that they have much in common: both are excellent cooks and both are fighting the flab acquired through preparing rich meals for a new gentleman friend. The second comedy is Chook Chook by Fiona Farrell and skilfully directed by John McMahon is a quirky yet hilarious play about, yes you guessed it, chickens. Valmai (Sarah Blaike), Chrissy (Meidyschka Hall) and Georgia (Mia Hollingsworth) are three battery hens living out their existence in a Chicken Shed, and generally keeping their heads down to avoid being gathered up in The Big Black Bag at the end of the week. Then they are joined by Bron (Tracey Simpson) who has seen the outside world of blue skies and green grass and life will never be the same. The third One Act Between Mouthfuls is written by the infamous Alan Ayckbourn and is directed by Sue Clapham. A fateful dinner encounter featuring two couples and a seemingly impersonal waiter highlights simmering tensions in the two fraught relationships - Alan Ayckbourn’s usual light-hearted but insightful look at a tense and serious moment - no happy endings here. It stars; Sam Henderson, Robert Boesch, Yvie Somerville, Angus Macklyn, Davina Gilbert. Tickets are $28 adults, concession $23 and members $23. Groups (eight or more) $20 and under 18 $20. Doors will open 30 minutes before the performance so guests can be seated early to minimise queues. The details of all guests will be recorded at

GRANITE BELT ART TRAIL

30 & 31 Oct to 1 NOV 2020

Come to the Granite Belt The Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail is announcing a strong artisan line up for the 2020 open studios event. Over thirty artisans will be exhibiting on the trail at 17 different venues, from wineries to art galleries and beautiful small community halls. Event founder Rosy Chapman reports that new and returning artisans are experiencing first-hand what the arts trail is doing for the Granite Belt’s economy and bringing the community together. “Our artisans are good to go! We have an Indigenous collage artist, a contemporary dot painter and an indigenous arts collective, potters, street art, fibre artisans including that wonderful Mongolian Ger, leadlight artisans, fine art photographers, a candlemaker, watercolourists, a precious metal jeweller, and many more. “Amiens History Association will be hosting a range of experiential activities for kids and the grown-ups: panning for tin, the 1920’s resplendent replica Railway Carriage “fit for a king“ and much more.“You can enrol in a class; you can watch a demonstration and you can get in and have a go. It is a great opportunity to get behind the scenes of creativity and be engaged in art yourself. “Thanks to our 20-strong ukulele group The Graniteers, the entertainment at our small halls and surrounding venues is shaping up to be lively. Over the last few weeks GBART has hosted workshops and photo shoots to help artisans promote themselves in the lead-up to the October event. “GBART is actively promoting the artisans to the broader community and our weekend drive market through digital marketing cam-

paigns, a new website and media liaison. Rebel FM and The Breeze have just come on board as sponsors, and we look forward to working with them in the lead up to the event. “The Granite Belt has experienced extraordinary interest from major metro newspapers, travel writers and Channel 7 over winter, with accommodation houses booking out and a massive influx of tourists from our weekend drive market. “We hope that this event will support the Granite Belt in its best spring season yet! So many Queenslanders are looking to holiday here this year in support of regional economies. Many of our cellar doors are reporting that the majority of visitors are first-time visitors to the Granite Belt. This will be the year of road trip adventures for many Australians!” says Ms Chapman. This year marks the second inauguration of the arts festival which provides a fully immersive experience of the rich tapestry of culture, talent, history and artefacts in the region. There will be a three-day, COVID-sensitive event opening at 10am on Friday 30 October and closing on Sunday 1 November at 4pm. Organiser Rosy Chapman was inspired by the Silo Art Trail, which resulted in international media attention, an influx of tourists to the region, and expansion of the trail into a 200-kilometre-long outdoor art gallery. Today the Silo Art Trail has expanded into SA, NSW, WA and Qld, and delivers ongoing benefits to tourism in each region. The Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail - Open Studios Event follows a trail map to discover a variety of local artists, as they exhibit at studios and galleries as well as taking up residence in community spaces.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Tasty Mexy pop-up fiesta

Oops, Trevor’s leftovers.

Charlie and Tosh making music. Well, Trev and Mrs Tucker got there a bit late, and a ravenous full house had already devoured a few of the options, but that didn’t stop us weighing into an excellent and juicy shredded beef feast, popping a few margies and grooving to the sidewalk sounds of the very talented Charlie Pearson and Tosh Kachad. All of this for $50 a head. We’ll be back for the next one. The verdict: If Telephone Call wasn’t an excellent Turkish caf, it would make a great Mex

Trevor Pepys reviews a fun Mex popup at Telephone Call From Istanbul When it comes to Mexican food, Trevor’s knowledge and experience is so vast that it could not possibly be rolled into even a giantsized tortilla. Not that there’s a huge amount to know. Meat, beans, a side of thick mole and a bowl of red hot salsa and you’re good to go. But beyond the mostly, let’s face it, basic elements of its construction, there is a culture even richer than the food. It’s not widely known, but back in the roaring days Trev was briefly the Australian cultural attach¨¦ for Northern Baja California, until an unfortunate incident one night at Hussong’s Cantina involving a donkey, a schoolteacher and a lapsed priest. It was suggested with brute force that Trev might like to relocate his official post somewhere else, which he did by moving to the other end of the peninsula and setting up a base at the Tropicana in San Jose del Cabo for lunch and evenings out of harm’s way at Zac’s bodega and betting shop at Zacatitas. These seasons in the sun gave him a wellrounded appreciation of basic tourist Mex, but it is not until you get to know the mainland that you discover the hidden intricacies of Mexican cuisine, a confusing mix of Native, Mayan, Aztec and European influences, all condensed into a frypan and two pots. Of course, in the trendy parts of Mex City, Cancun, Oaxaca, San Cristobal and San Miguel de Allende, you can find purportedly authentic dishes that have almost disappeared up their own complexity, but in real towns - try Merida, Puerto Morelos, Puerto Escondido or Zihuatanejo - the best dishes at the cantinas and tacquerias come randomly and haphazardly and flavours trump presentation. Sandy and Scott Kachad are Noosa residents who know the Cali-Hawaii-Mex surf and tucker trail like the backs of their hands. They’ve travelled widely, soaking up the culture and the cooking as they go, so when Trev got wind their Noosa Salsa Company was hosting an authentic Mexican fiesta for owner Ken at Telephone Call From Istanbul, the first of a couple of Sunday arvo Mex popups leading up to the Day of the Dead, wild caballos wouldn’t have kept him away. Last Sunday in the Arcadia Walk wind tunnel, the first popup - codename Telephone Call From Tijuana Prison - went off like a cracker. Sandy’s Noosa Salsa Company is already famous for creating fresh organic salsa and traditional Mex in the artisanal style, so with plenty of beef, port, prawns and vegetarian option, hot tortillas, salsa and a mango side to die for, plus ice-cold Pacifica beers, good margaritas and artesan Mescals to wash it all down with, what could possibly go wrong?

CoVibes is back Following the sell-out shows of CoVibes 1, 2 and 3, The Imperial Hotel Eumundi has announced ‘CoVibes 4’ will take place on Saturday 28 November, with the incredible Emily Wurramara set to take to the stage in The Brewery. CoVibes is all about bringing the live music back in an intimate, seated event in the beautiful Brewery room in a Covid-safe environment. Originally from Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, growing up Emily loved hearing her uncles sing, but also realised that women from her community rarely sang in public. Wanting to inspire and empower members of her community, especially young Indigenous women, to find their voice, Emily embarked on a musical journey that has touched the hearts and minds of audiences across Australia and internationally. Emily’s debut album received an ARIA nomination and AIR award for Best Blues and Roots Album. She is a six times Queensland Music Award winner and has toured extensively across Australia, Canada and Ireland. Joining her on the night are Volcanic Lovers and Jem Cassar-Daley. Made up of old school friends and sweethearts, Gold Coast hinterland-based Volcanic Lovers blend their influences in Afro-Latin rhythms with their love of rich harmony and heartfelt storytelling, with a sound likened to a blend of Fat Freddy’s Drop, Jamiroquai and Paul Simon. Taking their first giant leap onto the scene in mid-2019, Volcanic Lovers have already graced the stages of much-loved music and arts festivals Caloundra Music Festival, Bello Winter Music Festival and Mullum Music Festival and pre-COVID19 were announced as semi-finalists in the Byron Blues Fest Busking Competition, as well supporting local legends Cheap Fakes, Hot Potato Band and Band of Frequencies on tour. Their show is like a warm embrace on your favourite, most colourful

memory of Sunday afternoon. Brisbane-based singer songwriter Jem Cassar-Daley has a captivating stage presence and plays piano across a variety of genres. Her interest in music began at a young age, inspired by artists including Missy Higgins, the Dixie Chicks and Carole King. She has recorded and performed live with her father Troy Cassar-Daley at events such as the Sydney Carols in the Domain, as well as being the opening act for his Greatest Hits Tour in 2019. This year-long tour of perform-

ing provided Jem with invaluable musical and industry experience. Celebrating amazing local talent, the CoVibes series is a collab between local artists, agencies and the Imperial Hotel, and is proudly supported by the Queensland Government by Arts Queensland.This is an 18+ event. Tickets to CoVibes 4 are just $35 and numbers are strictly limited. Pre-sale only through OZTIX. No door sales.Doors open 7pm. Seated show to comply with Covid-safe practices.

This year Sunshine Coast Stadium has hosted major concerts with Elton John, multiple NRL matches, and most recently the National Youth Touch Football Championships drawing in thousands of players from across Queensland to our beautiful destination. The next thrilling event for the stadium will showcase some of the world’s greatest Monster Trucks including Australia number one - Outback Thunda and USA Legend Bearfoot on Saturday November 21. The show will include a water screen, five huge trucks and even a monster truck jumping a fighter jet! This exciting event will also have Sunshine Coast and State of Origin legend Chris Flannery behind the wheel. With a COVID capacity limit in place, just over 4500 tickets will go on sale tomorrow from 9am and are expected to be snapped up by punters keen for some monster truck madness. Divisional Councillor Peter Cox said it was great to see the stadium calendar growing with events again after a hugely interrupted year. “The Monster Trucks have been popular in the past as a great family night out and we are working with the event organiser to ensure our venue offers a COVID safe event space for locals and visitors to feel comfortable in,” Cr Cox said. This one night only event is presented by Monster Truck Promotions Australia. Tickets available via www.ticketek. com.au

Outriggers have a blast By Jo Searle

Alan Franks, Moses Kim, Bernhard Trauer and Stephen Gardner.

Steve Gardner’s tipping is on point Picking the winner on finals night at the Noosa Table Tennis Club has always been a tricky affair. Form can often go out the window. Bill Brown was freely tipped to take out honours in A Grade. But there was a problem: Bill was carrying some weight in his saddle. Bill, a self-confessed failure at doubles, was handicapped from the start. Would he win enough doubles matches on the night? The answer came in the form of Steve Gardner. Steve won all three doubles, while Bill could only win one. However Bill avoided any cognitive disso-

nance by rationalising that singles is the main game. And on that account, he was a winner, at least in his own mind. Unfortunately for Bill, the trophy had gone to Steve. In the Wannabes final, Moses Kim, being undefeated throughout 11 weeks of the rounds, was the red hot favourite to take the title. However, under the spotlight of finals night, Moses faltered. It was David Perriman who won his three singles, including an upset win against Moses. But it was not enough for David to win on the night. It was again a case of he who wins his three doubles stands tall.

Bernhard Trauer clinched the title by winning two singles and all three doubles. The B Grade final came down to the wire. The fate of two players, Alan Franks and 13year-old George Scott, depended on the outcome of the final doubles match of the night. Alan and George found themselves on opposite sides of the table. If George won he would take out the title. If Alan won he would force George into a countback to decide the winner. Alan won the doubles and claimed victory by the narrowest of margins, winning 14 games to eight against George’s 14-11 in the countback.

Simply sensational finals for Dolphins Noosa Dolphins juniors report - Under 13s This week the under-13 Dolphins played the top team, Maroochydore, in what we all knew was going to be a tough grand final. The Dolphins unfortunately finished second to Maroochydore, defeated 24-12. The game remained tied at 0-0 for the first 15 minutes. We knew it was going to be close. Maroochydore then got two tries ahead and Noosa was unable to catch up again. The team members all put in their best efforts. They chased, they tackled and shared a never-give-up attitude, which showed throughout the game. They showed true guts and determination right until the final whistle sounded. Maroochydore just got a few breaks and scored those extra few tries. A massive thank you to all our fantastic coaches - Wade, Jason and assistant helper coach Zak. They have helped the boys become who, and what, they are today throughout the season. Thank you to Kirrily, who has been our manager ensuring we are all kept up to date with game and club information. Over and out until next year, Jules Rosenkranz, under 13s photographer. Under 12s The undefeated Noosa under-12s defeated Grammar buy four points in the grand final. The final round of the under-12s’ 2020 season was another nail-biter for all spectators and coaches. Grammar scored first in the first minutes, and kept Noosa on their heels and struggling to get out of their own half. Consecutive rucking work and defensive plays ensured that Noosa scored a converted try soon after. Grammar went into the sheds at half-time in front by three points. It was the first time in the Noosa under-12s’ season where they were not in the lead. Noosa came out to the sheds firing with a small tactical change that saw them scoring a converted try soon after. The second half was a rollercoaster ride for both teams with Noosa scoring three converted tries and

then Grammar scoring two tries in the last five minutes of the second half. A determined team effort and outstanding coaching ensured that the Noosa under12s kept their undefeated season intact. Thanks to the incredible coaching team, Hayden Thomas, Scott Cairns and Brandon Olver, who led the side to victory by making us run on average three and half kilometres per fitness session. And lastly - thank you to our dedicated parents who have cheered us on and encouraged us, no matter what the score, got us to and from training and our games on time, washed our sweaty training gear, and took turns in washing the team jerseys. Without you we would not have a team. Thanl you. To the team of 25 boys - thanks for a great season of under-12s rugby. We look forward to seeing you all in the 2021 season. Under 10s The Reds had a sensational last game of the season, winning 22-21 over Flinders. Starting the first half down 14-0, soon we scored two unconverted tries - going to half time 14-10. The second half started with Flinders scoring to make it 21-10 until the Reds scored again to make it a closer match. The Reds needed a converted try to hit the lead by one point. At one stage one of the Flinders players started punching Curtis and was sent off. The Reds scored a finishing try to make it 21-20 to Flinders. With one goal until the win, Jacob Kain had the winning kick in his hands. The kick hit the crossbar but it went in. It was now 22-21 at the last play. Then Flinders stole the ball off the Reds. One of the players went for the corner but Alex Bingham and Jacob Kain got him out at the last second to end the match with a win. The Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match went to Ishaka Morgon and Flynn D’brae. The Fins had a cracking last game of the season - winning 27-19 over Maroochydore. At half-time,

the Fins were leading 17-7. Maroochy hit back with an unconverted try to bring the score to 17-12 to Noosa. But the Fins got over for the fourth time to have some more breathing space. The Maroochy team came with a try that was converted to make a score of 22-19. At the very end the Fins got over to seal the match 27-19. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match went to Cody Monkley for scoring his first two stellar tries of the season, Conner Lee for his first try of the season, and Jack Shaw for his hard work with tackling, running and getting into the ruck. Well done Fins. Under 9s The last game for the year was on a magic day at the Sunshine Coast Stadium’s side field, and the boys were keen to go out on a high. There were a few big boys in the Eumundi team but the Dolphins were not fazed and the boys showed all their skills as they started running in tries from the start. Tries went to Luke, Will, Jack, Callan, Sam, Matthew, Lewis and Luke. We did the basics well with the some straight running, securing the ball at the breakdown and tackling low and hard impressing the parents and supporters. Thanks for the assistance to our coaching staff from Rob, Andrew, Richie and Craig, thanks to our managers Jarad and Rachel, great photos from Craig Brook and Jarad, and appreciated admin from Tash and Sam McKerrow. And, lastly, a big thank you to all our parents. All of the boys’ skills have progressed massively over the season, as has the intensity of the matches. We’ll look forward to seeing everyone back for full-field rugby next year. Please bring a friend to join this great team as we will need more players going to 12 players a side. Have a great summer offseason, whatever you are doing.

Outrigger canoe events can come in many guises, involving six-man, three-man, twoman, and one-man canoes over sprint and various long distance events. It was 13 years ago that Port Douglas Outrigger Canoe Club (PDOCC) introduced a unique event capturing a fun-filled, yet arduous, event - running from Yorkey’s Knob to Port Douglas in Far North Queensland, just north of Cairns. The event runs in the direction of a following sea and this year nature played her part. A lovely south-easterly wind of about 10 knots arrived, which caused the sea to develop very pleasant choppy conditions to assist paddlers surfing and tapping the ocean’s energy. The 43-kilometre long course is broken down into four legs of approximately equal lengths, allowing relay teams as well as iron paddlers to enter. Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club representatives were Flea White, who won the Master Women iron OC1; Peter Braden and Phil Bensted, who won the Golden Master Men OC1 relay; and Wendy and Des Mabbott, who won the Golden Master Mixed iron OC2. All Noosa paddlers finished within two minutes of one another in total times of four hours and five minutes. Each leg of this intense race had its challenges and everyone had their own story to tell at the end. All competitors were indebted to the PDOCC for their extensive efforts in organising the race, especially in these current times. A couple of weeks prior, many NOCC members travelled to the Gold Coast for the first race for the South Queensland zone. Hosted by Southport Outrigger Canoe Club (SPOCC), both long and short course races were held within the Broadwater across the day. Conditions in the Broadwater are always interesting with changing tides and winds and many pleasure craft to dodge. Noosa paddlers entered many of the events and achieved great results. The first race of the day was the Men’s 10-kilometre long course and Noosa results were Senior Master Men first in 49 minutes and 42 seconds, out of five crews in their age group and eighth over the line out of a field of 37 crews. In the Golden Master Men division, the Noosa crew steered by Roger Chaffey placed second in 50:42 and the crew steered by Marco Rocco placed fourth in 51:37. The next race was the women’s OC1/2 10km long course with Noosa results including Cath McKee and Manuela Frank second in Senior Master Women OC2 in 59.52, just 13 seconds behind the winners and second over the line in the field of 16. In the Senior Master Women OC1 division, Nicola Cameron achieved one hour, nine minutes, and 31 seconds in her first OC1 race, and the third single craft over the line. The Mixed 5km short course, was next with Noosa also entering three women’s crews. Noosa results were the Master Women finishing in 34:19 and 14th over line in a field of 46 mostly mixed teams. Other Noosa results in the short course were the Novice Master Mixed, who placed third out of seven crews in the division, in 35:59, the Senior Master Women in 36:23, and Novice Master Women in 39:24. The final race of the day was the women’s 10km long course, with Noosa’s Senior Master Women crew steered by Stacey Phillis taking line honours in 51:47, after starting in the second wave with all Open and Master crews having started in the first wave. In addition, the Master Women’s crew was first out out of 10 teams in its division and sixth over the line in 54:07, and the Senior Master Wonen’s crew, steered by Gina Kenny, placed fourth out of six crews in its division and eighth over the line in 55:07. A great day of racing was enjoyed by all, with thanks to SPOCC for hosting a grear event. Now preparations are underway for the next race in Scarborough on 21 November, ahead of NOCC hosting the third race on 5 December - the Laguna Bay Challenge.

It’s a grand time for footy What a week it has been in sport. The NRL and AFL grand finalists have been decided, and while they may not be your chosen teams, there is no disputing the right of the four teams involved to have their chance at a unique piece of sporting history in this strangest of years. The Storm showed why they are consistently among the finalists in any year and although the Bunnies were good against the Panthers you can’t drop balls and make errors against a minor premiership side and expect to win preliminary finals. All indications seem to be leaning towards the retirement of Cameron Smith, who is yet to make the call. After Friday night’s game you would have to think he could go on forever. Perhaps a big clue is his purchase of a home in Burleigh recently, and his kids being enrolled in school on the Coast. It was great to see Jack Wighton pick up the Dally M and I can’t really see why all the fuss about his win. Anyway, no matter, you have to think he will play a major role in Sunday’s grand final. Before then, however, the Cats and the Tigers will write their names in the history books when they face off at the Gabba for the AFL grand final. Unfortunately, the Lions won’t be there. They kept pace with Geelong until midway through the final quarter of the prelim last week but were blown away at the very back end of the game. Again, just not quite good enough, but Lachie Neale did grab the Brownlow. I’m a bit of a Richmond fan but am wary of the Cats and Ablett on Saturday. In the meantime, take up an early position for the running of the 100th WS Cox Plate. I favour Master of Wine, Russian Camelot and Probabeel but don’t forget Humidor, who is sure to run another mighty race. That will, of course, lead you into the AFL decider - leaning slightly towards Richmond. On Sunday, having recovered from all that excitement, strap yourselves in for a mighty NRL game. This might just be one of the greatest grand finals of all - I think it will be Cam Smith and the Storm raising the trophy. Casey

Campdrafters are back in the saddle this weekend. Facebook.com/GoodSportsClubs.

CAMPDRAFTERS BACK IN SADDLE The Campdraft community took a hefty blow when Covid-19 restrictions forced the cancellations of the famed Warwick Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft. This weekend, however, riders will be back in the saddle for the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society’s camp draft event on Saturday, 24 October. Organisers are delighted with the nominations they have received for this weekend’s event. There is already a full draft and entrants in novice, maiden juvenile and junior drafts. Under Covid-safe guidelines, up to 1000

spectators are expected to celebrate the much anticipated return of the sport. Every cloud has a silver lining and some competitors get the opportunity to compete in the Warwick arena for the first time. The draft will have a particular focus of family and a fun filled day. The action starts early at 6am and there will be bar and canteen facilities operating all day. Entry will be through Gate 4, so head down to the Warwick Showgrounds and help the Warwick Show society and Campdraft committee to thank the sponsors and volunteers who have supported them throughout this difficult year.

Dallas sends a reminder Dallas Furner, who has seemingly spent more time over the past two decades guiding the direction of golf on the Sunshine Coast rather than playing the game, reminded everyone of his ability when he scored a remarkable net 62 in a club competition at Noosa last week. Playing in Noosa’s popular Tuesday Club, Furner was superb, winning the B Grade category by three strokes, and returning the day’s best net score. “Yeah, but I was playing off 14,” said the modest Furner, who for most of his golfing career had been a single-figure handicapper. It was a recent golfing foray to Bargara, Bundaberg and Maryborough with a group of seven mates that was the catalyst for his return to form. “I’d been playing only about once a week, and I wasn’t doing much,” he said. “But while I was away I started to hit a few good shots and sink a few putts. I think it was playing for three days straight that got my game back on track.” Furner, who set up his own plastering business just over three years ago - another reason his golf has deteriorated, he says - is a legend in golf administration in our region. He’s been the Sunshine Coast zone president for seven years, the (Sunshine Coast and South Burnett) district president for 16 years, and a director of Noosa Golf Club for 30 years, where he is also a life member. And he’s heading back to single figures. Furner’s heroics last week saw his Golf Australia handicap slashed from 13.8 to 10.3. That’s good enough for him to be off nine next time he plays - off the white tees, anyway. Luke Parker hangs on for victory It wasn’t a fear of failing that concerned Luke Parker as he took a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Queensland PGA Trainee Championship at Windaroo Lakes last week it was of not fulfilling his destiny. “I’d worked so hard to get to that point,” he said. “I’d contended in events before and fallen away. There I was in the lead, and I just didn’t want to let the chance of winning slip through my fingers.” He needn’t have worried. The first year trainee professional from Maroochy River, who played his junior golf at Peregian, stuck to his guns for a one-stroke win in an event of enormous significance to young professional golfers. Parker, who picked up a welcome $6000 prize, shot rounds of 70, 71, 72 and 74 for a one over-par total of 287 and a one-stroke victory over Mackay’s Elliott Beel. He put his name alongside previous winners Greg Norman and Rod Pampling. His story is that of a young man who lost his way after an outstanding junior career, questioned whether golf was a viable employment option, then found his inspiration from a couple of fellow members, wise in the way of playing golf for a living. “When I joined Maroochy River I was playing terrible golf,” Luke recalls. “I’d lost confidence and really questioned my ability.” But playing regularly with David Grenfell and Craig Jones - former professionals who had tasted success on world tours - gave him the inspiration he needed. “I saw how they played the game and particularly their strategy,” he said. “I began to concentrate on playing, rather than making a perfect swing, and learned how to practice effectively. “I had some success in A Grade pennant, and then I won the club championship. I realised I could play this game.” Club professional Sean Seymore offered Parker a traineeship, and the young man hasn’t looked back. Now he’s setting his sights on loftier goals. “My win in the Trainee Championship gets me into the Queensland PGA next year, and several other events,” he said. “I’ll be seeking as many starts in tournaments as I can get.” Parker has always dreamed of becoming a touring professional and is confident he’s

An excited Luke Parker displays the Carnegie Cup, the trophy for winning the Queensland PGA Trainee Championship. heading in the right direction. “My win last week was a vindication that what I’ve been doing is working,” he said. “The hard work is paying off. It was the best thing I’ve ever done - by far.” Mt Coolum trainee T. J. King (73, 73, 74, 75) took fourth place, while the low round of the final day belonged to Headland’s Jordan McDonald, whose two under-par 72 helped him into 11th placing. Coco, 10, upholds the family tradition Coco Moore, the youngest of a remarkable trio of golfing sisters, showed she’s inherited the family talent by winning last Saturday’s women’s Stableford competition at Noosa Springs with 41 points. Coco, just 10 years old, played off 25 - a handicap she’ll never see again - and was, of course, the youngest player in the field. Sister Sunday is already an accomplished golfer with a handicap of seven, while eldest sibling Naomi was an outstanding junior a few years ago. Coast star takes a break Lucas Herbert, after a disrupted campaign in the US and Europe when he lived out of a suitcase, is completing his second week of quarantine before returning to his Marcus Beach home for a few weeks’ rest. He’ll stay on the Sunshine Coast until the end of November, when he resumes his European Tour campaign in the Middle East, the scene of his most significant victory - the Dubai Desert Classic in January. That win catapulted him to number 64 in world rankings, and into third place on the Race to Dubai standings - the European Tour’s order of merit. He returned to the Coast and sat out the coronavirus-forced disruption to world golf before heading off to the US to compete in a couple of WGA events and the US PGA Championship in New York. “I had five weeks off between the PGA and US Open and I focused on getting myself in

a good head space to be able to play under tournament conditions, such as not getting too hard on myself after making mistakes,“ he said. After finishing a commendable 31st in the US Open, he returned to Europe for the Irish Open, where he finished seventh and the Scottish Open, where he was fourth after a remarkable final round six under-par 65. Herbert is now ninth on the Race to Dubai standings, with the top 10 players earning big prize money at the end of the season, as well as invitations to some of the world’s top tournaments. “I try not to think about the standings too much, but that being said I want to have a solid finish to my year in Dubai,“ Herbert said. McCulloch falls short by a single point James McCulloch played outstanding golf to score 40 points and win last weekend’s Universal Property Sunday Series event at Noosa Springs. But, though McCulloch happily claimed the winner’s prize, his effort wasn’t quite good enough to get him to the final stage of the series. That honour goes to the player who has the month’s best winning score - and, right now, that rests with Cooroy golfer Andre Smit, who won the previous weekend with a score of 41 points. The players - male and female - with the best winning score each month compete in December for the grand prize, a year’s free golf at Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island. Visitors are welcome to compete and, if they’re local, they need pay only $79 to play, which includes the cost of an electric cart. Our biggest golf events cancelled Australia’s biggest golf events - the Australian PGA Championship, the Australian Open and the Women’s Australian Open - have been cancelled due to Covid-19. The three events were due to be played in February, but the impacts of coronavirus, most notably in assembling international fields and

ensuring the safety of players, spectators and officials, has forced the decision. The Australian Senior Amateur Championships - both men’s and women’s - have also been cancelled. Giblett does Noosa proud George Giblett, with rounds of 75, 72, 71 and 72, was the only Noosa representative to make the 36-hole cut at the Keperra Bowl - one of Queensland’s most significant amateur events. Giblett, with a four-round total of two over-par 290, finished 20th in the elite field 27 shots behind Elvis Smylie, the remarkable lefthander who shot a final round 10-under 62 for a runaway 13-shot win. Noosa Springs’ Dino Degotardi (76, 74) failed to make the 36-hole cut. In the women’s tournament, Caboolture’s Justice Bosio, 16, scored the biggest win of her career. She won by a shot after her nearest challengers, Hye Jun Park and Minji Kweon, both bogeyed the final hole.

The new moon produces This week saw some hot action for many anglers, as we pushed toward a Friday new moon. With offshore continuing to blow, the focus has been on mangrove jacks and flathead in the estuary. The big flatties have been around, although a little quieter. Mangrove Jacks are becoming more popular and this week we have seen some cracking fish landed with as many lost. Offshore a few bigger charter boats made the crossing, with the bar holding a solid ground swell. Experienced boaties also made the crossing without any complications. Be sure to log on with coastguard if new to the area so they can monitor your inward or outbound bar crossing. Those anglers lucky enough to make the crossing caught many different species, with snapper still on the chew. Other fish were gold band snapper, cobia, tusk fish, longtail tuna and jewfish coming from Double Island. In closer, Sunshine Reef has small snapper and sweetlip which are great fun on lighter 7ft estuary combos. Small reefies will really put your angling skills to the test on lighter gear while using soft plastics and lightly weighted pilchard baits. For a great combo be sure to

check out the new Abu Garcia Slaty fighter. This comes rigged with a full spool of braid on a graphite built reel and rod making this a team favourite. Surf fishing continues to produce whiting, dart and tailor from those heading to Fraser. Weed can be problematic but there are definite patches of clear water and the humble slug or chrome lure cast out and wound back has accounted for many fish. Check out the Arma 30 gram slugs for a must-have beach fishing lure. With the bigger tides still hanging around, be sure to check out the lower tides and fish an hour either side for best results. As mentioned, the river is holding big flathead and Mangrove Jacks. Both of these fish can be targeted on the same combo but you may find you will have to increase your leader strength and length for jacks. Jacks inhibit rocky, snag-ridden parts of the river, whereas flathead will be found along sandy bottoms near rocks. In an ideal world, 12-15lb is the lightest you should attempt to land a jack on. Check out our wide range of 4 strand braids, which are very user-friendly and do very well

Freshwater is still picking up, as is the edge bite. The local dams are holding a decent amount of water, making the edge bite great first light, and in the evenings if the wind isn’t too strong. During the day try running tail spinners and Jackson iga jig spin lures through any schooled-up fish. Be sure to crimp the barbs on these as they are small and the bass hit these with a lot of aggression. Elsewhere the saratoga are breeding and should be left alone as these mouth brooders are self-sustaining in both lake MacDonald and Borumba. Should you catch one, be sure to release it where it was caught and keep it in the water as much as possible. Lastly, be sure you have an up-todate SIPS permit before using these areas.

around the rocks. If after jacks, then try fishing around the downed trees of the dog beach and the rocks of the river mouth. Flathead can be found throughout the estuary and they love sandy drop-offs. A great starting point would be around the river mouth, as there are many channels and pools that provide flatties the perfect ambush point. As things warm up, the high tides often bring bait into the river and with it come the trevally and queenfish to name a few. Try any of the small surface lures we stock, like the Bassday Sugapen 95 - which is a trevally weapon. Cast this out early morning and skip it along the surface for best results and explosive takes. These also work well for whiting, and don’t be fooled into thinking they are too small. Elsewhere, the middle reaches of the river have small soapy jewfish, which have been hitting small prawn style and curly tail soft plastics on 1/6 jigheads and lighter 8lb leader. The waters are clear with the lack of rain, so drop down in leader thickness to get the best bite. While you are up here, be sure to throw a few soft vibes as these are also great fish catching options, especially if new to lure fishing.

They’re grand final bound A Grade: Noosa Dolphins d Caloundra Lighthouse 25-19 The Ray White Noosa Dolphins A Grade side has booked its place in the 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union grand final with a thrilling 25-19 win against Caloundra Lighthouse. The Dolphins, who finished the regular season as minor premiers, will make their 33rd grand final appearance in front of a home crowd with the four-tries-to-three win over Caloundra granting the club hosting rights. Passionate rugby fans filled Dolphin Oval on Saturday to watch the top teams clash, and the on-field performance did not disappoint with both teams bringing plenty of passion and intensity to the contest. A Jordan Mayhew penalty kick delivered first points to the Dolphins but it was the Lighthouse who charged ahead in the first half with two converted tries - taking full advantage of the Dolphins’ inability to gather momentum. Unruffled by trailing 14-3 at half time, the home-side prepared to take control of the game with patience and smart play. With the ball in the Dolphins’ possession and a side-

line scuffle distracting the opposition, veteran prop Gary McNeil wasted no time when the opportunity presented to take a quick tap. McNeil charged across the white line assisted by Jarrad Postle who successfully grounded the Dolphins’ first try that was converted by Jordan Mayhew. At a frantic pace, the Dolphins were soon back on the attack. Vice captain Wil Rogers’ brilliant ball pick up and reach over the line pushed the Dolphins into the lead. The reigning premiers threw everything they had at the Dolphins and their persistence paid off as they crawled back, scoring a try to come within a point of the Dolphins. But the mammoth second half was not over for the Noosa men, from precision backline passing came a last minute try to Jordan Mayhew - resulting in a 25-19 Dolphins win. The Little Sister Noosa player of the match and three points went to Will Christie for his enormous work rate, two points went to Adam Waring, and one point went to Gary McNeil. This Saturday’s Maroochydore Swans and Caloundra Lighthouse clash will determine who the Dolphins will

face in the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union grand final at Dolphin Oval on Saturday, 31 October. The grand final will also feature the Dolphins Women after their victory over the Caboolture Snakes 24-7, while the Dolphins Reserve Grade season has come to an end after being knocked out in the minor semi-final with a 0-7 loss against the Gympie Hammers. Noosa Dolphins Colts d Caloundra Lighthouse 51-12 On a hot Saturday morning the Dolphins Colts took on Caloundra Lighthouse for their last round game of the season. An early backline passing movement saw Kynan Ashton-Martin score a good try, which was the start of his man of the match performance. With limited field position and possession, Noosa made good use of its chances with tries to wingers Alex Tollis and Ethan Richardson. The final try of the half came from an outstanding long range stepping run from Kynan, where he beat numerous defenders to off-load to Tyson Schefe to score. Some clever kicking from Caloundra

got them two tries for the half, which made the half-time score Dolphins 26 to Lighthouse 12. With the big Lighthouse forwards getting tired in the hot midday sun and better field position and pressure, Kynan again produced a good stepping run down a tight sideline to score. A strong run gave Christian Vidic a try and good support play was finished off with a try to Harry Langbridge. Some nice passing gave Tom Payne a gap to run into and score. With only a few minutes to go, Tom Payne put in a good grubber for Casey Allen to dive on the ball for the final try to give Noosa a good win, 51-12. Remy Livingston was very impressive in the lineouts, winning a number of Caloundra’s throws, and Leo Langbridge worked hard around the field at the breakdown and in defence. Noosa’s backline worked well with some good ball movement and straight running. The final game of Noosa’s season will be against USC Barbarians in the grand final. Players’ player and man of the match went to Kynan Ashton-Martin.

It’s the end of the season for much-improved Dragons Dragons under-11 match report The last game for the season saw the Dragons take on Grammar at Brothers on the weekend. Dragons made a vast improvement on

their tackle count this weekend, with every player in the team making tackles. There were impressive displays from various players today, but it had to be said that

the whole team worked well and worked hard all game. This team has all grown as individuals and improved so much this year, and they have done themselves, and the club, proud.

The Best Team Mate for this game was Matt Paul, who had some charging runs and crucial tackles. Thanks for a great season, under-11 Dragons - we are all very proud of you.

St Kilda farewells Noosa St Kilda captain Jarryn Geary has penned a letter to the people of Noosa, thanking them for their support. “It’s been a bittersweet week for myself and many of my teammates and coaches who have begun the journey back to Melbourne,” it states. “While we are looking forward to our own beds and seeing loved ones in Victoria, there are certainly mixed emotions to be leaving Noosa. “Back in early July, we had less than 48 hours’ notice before departing Melbourne and arriving at the RACV Resort for what was initially a 32-day campaign.

“More than 100 days later, and Noosa really did become a home away from home. “For me, it was a morning swim and takeaway coffee from Sails, walks out to Hell’s Gates, and a little bit of fishing on our days off. “For others, like Dan Butler and Brad Hill, it was surfing out on the point, and coffees from Café Le Monde. “For everyone, it was Bananarama smoothies from Blended on Hastings St. “They became what we competed for in the small games we play at the end of training. “Whoever lost had to buy Bananaramas for their whole line groups, and I hate to think how

many we drank over the past three months. “While the crew at Blended might miss us, I’m sure others won’t mind not seeing the Thrifty minibuses driving around town. “For my wife Emma, my daughter Harriett and me, Noosa was already a favourite holiday spot. But with everything that has happened this year, it has become a place that will always hold a special place in our hearts. “Not only is it where we set ourselves up as a club to return to the AFL finals for the first time in nine years, it is where we welcomed our little boy Freddie into the world. “The doctors and midwives at Buderim Private Hospital were outstanding, and they couldn’t have done any more to look after my wife Emma and Freddie when he arrived a week out from the finals. “Their care from early on this year put our minds at ease and took away any stress of having a baby in the hub. “It’s a small world too it seems, as our midwife Ally was the wife of the president of the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club, where we did a lot of our training. “The Dolphins crew were so accommodating, as was the team at Noosa CrossFit and

the Noosa Tigers Football Club, where we also spent time training. “The entire town was so welcoming, and while we weren’t allowed to sit in at your beautiful cafes, we did enjoy them via takeaway. “A special shout-out to the nurses who conducted our twice weekly Covid tests and were so lovely to deal with. “And, finally, to Darren, Jordan and the team at RACV Resort, thank you for looking after us like you did. “Nothing was ever an issue and you went out of your way to do the little things that made the place feel like home. “I know we have converted a few Saints fans amongst the staff, and hopefully the entire town felt a little bit of ownership of how we performed this year. “We wouldn’t have achieved anything if weren’t for you and the Queensland Government allowing us to relocate to complete the season. Whether it’s for a pre-season camp or potentially a mid-year escape, we would love to come back again. “And if we do, we’ll be sure to phone ahead to Blended and ensure the Bananaramas are ready.”

Ironman racing is set to return to Australia and New Zealand in style in 2021, with all races across the region open for entry from today, including Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast. Following a year of uncertainty, postponements, and unfortunately a number of race cancellations, Ironman is launching its 2021 Oceania season with a bang, will a full schedule of racing across Australia and New Zealand locked in from February until December. For the first time ever all 2021 Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events in the region will be open for entry at the same time, giving athletes the perfect opportunity to plan their racing season and lock in their entries from Thursday 15 October. Dave Beeche, the managing director of the Ironman Group Oceania, said that by launching all 2021 events at the same time athletes had a chance to plan out their year and lock in their racing calendar. “This is the first time we’ve been able to launch all of our events at the same time and we’re looking forward to having athletes from across the region get their schedules locked in and begin working towards what we hope will be a massive 2021,” Beeche said. “This year has been challenging for so

many and we hope that by opening up the full season of events we can give our athletes that light at the end of the tunnel that they’ve been training towards. “We know that our athletes have been training away at home and want to get back racing again, we had great support at recent events in Queensland and we can’t wait to get back in action across Australia and New Zealand,” he said. Those athletes wanting to test themselves against the world’s best at the 2022 Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Taupo, New Zealand, will have the chance to secure a spot at all Ironman 70.3 events from Sunshine Coast in September onwards. With thousands of athletes already deferred or transferred into 2021 races, capacity is set to be limited at a number of events and sell outs are expected, so those wanting to make their comeback in 2021 are encouraged to get in early to avoid disappointment. Those who get in early and lock in their race schedule before 12 November 2020 will receive Ironman merchandise gift cards and also go into the draw to win one of four Ultimate Race Packs worth more than $3000.

The Tewantin-Noosa Thunder grand final winning team.

Thunder storms to victory By Randall Woodley For the first time in a number of seasons, the TNT First XI will have a new trophy to display in its clubhouse. Last Sunday the team defeated the competition’s leading team, the Maroochydore Swans, in the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association’s T20 Grand Final at Read Park. In the morning they played Glasshouse Rangers in the semi-final and, by defeating them, qualified for the grand final. In the final at Read Park in front of a big crowd, TNT again batted first and finished its innings with what was considered a below par score of 126. Top scorers were the club’s leading run-getter, Jarrod Officer (46) and captain Jake Dennien (23). With the championship in sight, the TNT bowlers knew they would need to bowl tightly, restricting the strong Swans lineup to less than six runs an over. Opening bowlers, Scott Aufderheide (0/15 off 4) and Tom Freshwater (3/23 off 4) carried out their assignments admirably and strangled the opposition batsmen. Wickets kept falling and their target was almost out of reach by the 15th over. In the end, the team, considered the favourite for the championship, was bowled out for 107 - giving the home side a much-deserved victory. Other wicket-takers were Jake Dennien 3/22 and Dom Taylor 2/21. The TNT boys have been the dominant team in the T20 competition, winning eight of the nine games they have played. In the morning’s semi-final, TNT scored 6/145 off its 20 overs with top scorers Jarrod Officer 28, Jake Dennien 26 not out and Alex Bennett 23. Bowling second, the TNT team kept pressure on all the batsmen and Glasshouse never managed to get ahead of the required run rate. After 20 overs, they were 9/120. The top wicket taker was Jake Dennien with 5/23 and another outstanding wicket-keeper performance by Cody Pyne with three stumpings and a catch. Now the next targets for the TNT team is the Limited Overs Championship and, later, the premiership. SATURDAYS MATCHES THIRDS: Losing the toss against Caloundra, TNT was asked to bowl first. Harrison Lea (2/30 off 7 overs) opened up and bowled a good first spell. Mike Thomson, as reliable as ever opened from the other end and took

First grade players are winners.

1/27 off his 7. Other wicket takers were Robbie Payton (1/20), Jason Toohey (3/33) and Adam Curryu (1/16). Caloundra finished on 138 after 40 overs. Cooper Lea opened up and scored 27 off 28, hitting the ball well but will learn to be a little more patient. Blake Steel then ignited the innings, smashing 42 off 44 balls including three sixes. With Adam Curry then belting 53 off 27 balls, the team cruised to a win in the 20th over. FIFTHS: The team went south to Burpengary to take on the Brumbies. Losing the toss, TNT was sent into bat and with tight bowling from the opposition, runs were hard to come by. Brendan Wright showed patience with the

bat for 32, whilst the evergreen Luke Anstey again top-scored with 35. After 40 overs the team had registered a disappointing 6/131. In reply the TNT opening bowlers Anstey (3/18) and Naveen Shand (3/24) had the Brumbies in trouble at 4/27 after the first spell. However, the fifth wicket was hard to break and - with some poor leg-side bowling - the Brumbies were let of the hook. The TNT team rallied well and took the game to the line, almost stealing it. The Brumbies got home with two overs to spare. With the fifths still winless after three rounds, the team is certain a win is just around the corner. SIXTHS: The team took on Caloundra at Dale

Officer Oval and, with new opener Jake Shenton to partner Shane Gesell, the home side batted first. Gesell exploded out of the box, belting boundary after boundary to get TNT off to a great start. The pair had put on 119 by drinks and soon after Shenton was out for 23. Euan Baxter came in and, after watching Gesell pass his century (132), crafted a stylish 52 not out that assisted the team to 267 after 40 overs. The Caloundra batsmen struggled all afternoon and were 100 runs short at stumps. The best bowlers for Thunder were Graham Chaplin (4/37) and Ben Anderson (2/27). Three wins from three matches for the team - a great start to the season. Friday, 23 October, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 53

Between The Flags Ron Lane

Vital progam introduced The two major rescues recently carried out in Noosa’s National Park (one of which took three hours to complete and required helicopter medivac) have resulted in the introduction of a new training program. This will be of the utmost importance. Known as the Noosa National Park Induction Course, it is under the guidance of Noosa senior lifeguard Isaac Smith with senior lifeguard Adam McKane supporting. It also has the total support and involvement of Noosa Surf Club Captain Roger Aspinall and Noosa education manager, Jonathan Donnelly. Another to express concern regarding the need for such a program was Noosa’s Patrol 14 Captain, David Tomba. “Our patrol had discussed the possibility of obtaining a map of all vehicle tracks and also advance training for drivers; what lifeguard Isaac Smith and his team have formulated is spot-on and has our total support. “Tomba’s Patrol 14 was one of the patrols involved in the recent major rescues in the National Park. Because of the number of major rescues in the Park being on the increase, a full knowledge of vehicle (ATV) access and travel, not only for our lifeguards and lifesavers, but also for Paramedics, Police and Fire and Rescue, is of the utmost importance. This sort of program, will guarantee that fully trained personal will be available to board the ATVs when called upon.” After discussing the basic concept with McKane, Aspinall and Donnelly, Smith was invited to present it to a meeting of all Noosa patrol captains and vice captains. All aspects of the induction were well-received and had the total support of all present. It was unanimously agreed that it should be immediately actioned. This sort of program will guarantee that an emergency call to the park will ensure that only fully-trained personnel will board the rescue vehicle. At present, the course is being undertaken by the club captain and patrol captains. Once this is finished, the course will cater for more senior members, until all are fully aware of all pathways and also have the capabilities to communicate with all support team members: Paramedics, Fire and Rescue and Police. Also, radio operators will be made aware of the black spots (areas that make radio communication impossible) in the park, thus ensuring good radio communication at all times. With the Christmas holidays just a matter of weeks away, the timing is perfect. Basically, the course will involve the total familiarisation of all aspects of the vehicle and walking tracks, into and out of the National Park. Major danger areas, such as the Fairy Pools and others will be identified. The time taken to travel from places such as the Park gates, to the Fairy Pools, will also be noted. Information such as this can be of the utmost importance when the attendance of paramedics or helicopter crews is in urgent need. When a patrol captain is advised of an emergency, he immediately notifies his vicecaptain who assembles his team and moves into the park. As the patrol captain must, in all situations, stay at his post on Main Beach, it is the vice captain who takes charge of all call outs. His team will consist of hand-picked lifesavers who have completed the induction course. With regard to support teams, there will be times when, in the park, an approach to a patient from land could be virtually impossible. On occasions such as this, the support teams of either IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boats) or Wave Runner (Jet Rescue Skis) are called upon to assist by approaching from the sea. ‘The whole concept has now changed,” said senior Lifeguard Isaac Smith. “It is not just Noosa Beach, but it is now more like Noosa District: areas that we are now being called upon to respond to in times of emergency. Stretching from Teewah Beach to Alexandria Bay: this of course includes the Noosa Bar, West Beach and of course National Park: its unpatrolled beaches and danger spots such as 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 October, 2020

Sunshine Beach Surf Club is ready for business. the Fairy Pools. (I’m) happy to say that with the acceptance of the Induction course, our lifeguards and lifesavers are now working closer together. Despite the fact that the lifeguards do all patrols during the week and the volunteers do the weekend, if there is an emergency on the weekend and some of our people are in the vicinity, we of course help out: we all work together.” Speaking on behalf of the lifesavers, club captain Roger Aspinall said: “The Induction Course has our total support. Absolutely. Our two groups are working together and it is good for our new members to get to know the lifeguards: it is interesting to note that some of these lifeguards have come up through the ranks of the Noosa Surf Club. Our major concern is, of course, Noosa’s Main Beach, but as Isaac has said if there is an emergency then we will of course respond. The old days of just caring for those bathing between the flags is well and truly over.” This is, of course, correct: however, people must accept that they take responsibility for their own safety and that both the lifeguards and lifesavers are not there at their beck and call. The National Park is becoming something of a problem. Because of its beauty and scenic walks, it is definitely a tourist attraction and brochures encourage the tourist to visit. Therefore, it is a must, for those in charge to ensure that all pathways are top class and the necessary signage at unpatrolled beaches is in place. With interstate travel being what it is, and overseas holidays now a thing of the past, the politicians are encouraging the holiday makers to visit their local resorts. Many will do so and, as a result, crowd numbers could spiral out of control. So, enjoy, be safe and - above all - ask for advice. Over at Sunshine Beach Surf Club, the Supporter Club is slowly starting to move again in the social arena. Club spokesperson Warick Redwood said: “We are up and running with a few wedding functions and they have been good. Everything went well and according to health regulations. With the functions being held in the upstairs room, with its unbelievable ocean views and great sunny days, it could not

Life savers take to the ATVs for rescues in Noosa National Park. be better. All indications are that (with health regulations being followed) we are in for a big Christmas.” With the upstairs room being what it is, the club has created an atmosphere that is ideal for special occasions: what could be better

than the Melbourne Cup. “Already it is booked out for this year’s cup and if it goes as we think it will, it could become a major annual event: the hottest ticket in town”. We wish them well.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Nightsurfing with the girls at Surf Lakes, Yeppoon.

Picture: COURTESY OF SURF LAKES

It was longboards by night Last Sunday’s Cuervo Longboard Classic at the Surf Ranch had a few interesting moments, but mainly it served to further demonstrate just how far the World Surf League has strayed from its original purpose into a lifestyle content provider - and not a particularly good one. Admittedly, pro surfing’s governing body and owner didn’t have too many options open to it, once the departure gates all closed on international travel soon after the completion of the last big WSL longboard event, the Noosa Open, and the entire 2020 pro season went out the window. But clearly there is a limit to how many previous season “highlights” packages you can watch, and somehow, for me at least, being shown around Shane Dorian’s temporary house in San Clemente as entertainment isn’t cutting it either. So the Cuervo Classic was designed not so much as a real test of longboard skills on the sometimes difficult Slater model artificial wave, but more as a lifestyle exposition of those cute kids and funky old dudes who like the slide - seen against the exotic backdrop of floodlights sending shards of silver across the otherwise featureless Central Valley dustbowl of California. Representing the old dudes in the male division, we had reigning Noosa champ Joel Tudor, Hawaii’s Kai Sallas, hipster rock star Alex Knost, and current world champ, chunky Justin Quintal, who looks older than he is. Representing the here and now we had Kaniela Stewart from Hawaii and California’s Kevy Skvarna. On the female side of the ledger, good ole Kassia Meador took the seniors’ gold watch, just ahead of Professor Lindsay Steinriede, with Honno Blomfield and Soleil Errico representing the now and Avalon Gall and Kelis Kaleopaa the future. Very good surfers all, some past their best, others not quite there yet. But sorry WSL, longboarding in the tank just isn’t doing it for me, particularly when you’re looking at surfers who never wear legropes trying to make it look

Winner Soleil Errico in sparkling form. natural. And I know that commissioner Devon Howard, looking positively spiffing in a Covid bushranger/hipster beard, had tweaked the settings to make the barrel section more compatible with a mal, but it just wasn’t exciting, and the lifestyle cutaways were often excruciating. And then came the night. Honestly, I’ve been to the Surf Ranch and looked in every direction and it is not pretty, but somehow under lights the whole thing became surreal. Even Chunky Quintal’s backside barrel looked elegant - almost magical. Some of the greentinged still photos don’t do it justice, and it was never going to match the night vista of Yeppoon’s Surf Lakes (more about that in coming weeks) but it was something else. Compare the female forms of Surf Ranch and Surf Lakes and make your own judgement. Suggestion for WSL management: Run all Surf Ranch events at night, get rid of all the reality show lame crap and just run expert commentary while the machine reloads. Oh,

if you’re interested in the meaningless results, Soleil Errico beat archrival Honno Blomfield in the women’s, and Chunky beat Kevy in the men’s goofy foot showdown. Trashing our treasure Last Saturday night, while we were all sleeping off Brisbane’s loss in the AFL, a couple of large groups of party animals (perhaps just animals might be more appropriate) were spending the wee small hours noisily drinking themselves into oblivion on the beach at Little Cove and inside the National Park at Nationals and Tea Tree. We know this because residents complained and the police were called to move them on. Apparently no arrests were made or charges laid - just a bit of Covid-induced craziness perhaps - but first light revealed a sorry trail of litter and broken glass extending from the outer bays almost into town. My first question is what the hell is the matter with these people? Apart from the obvious resident and visitor benefits of having the

most prized national park asset in the state on our doorstep, the NNP creates wealth for our community at a multiplier of 6.3 for every dollar spent on its management. Elsewhere in this week’s issue, Sunshine Beach’s Professor Richard Brown outlines the considerable economic benefit shown by a recent study. My second question is: who had to bear the responsibility for cleaning it up? Unconfirmed reports suggest that council flicked it to Parks and Wildlife, who passed it on because it was mostly at the waterline. The Noosa Heads surf club patrol, who made the discoveries on their early Wave Runner tour of the bays, were too busy saving lives, and the police simply don’t do that sort of thing. Of course, it should have been the offenders who were forced to clean it up but apparently that bird had flown. While the park officially opens only during daylight hours, no one wants to see it looking like a prison. But no one wants to see it trashed by visitors, either.

community. They are looking for the safety, the security, the space, and the affordability regional areas offer. Infrastructure such as education, health and communication has improved in these areas. So, in many cases, it is now a work-from-home situation rather than a commute. Leading Noosa principal Tom Offermann said there was a strong underlying interest in almost every class of property on offer at the moment. This includes buyers from interstate who are competing with a large number of active buyers living in Queensland. He said Tom Offermann Real Estate agents were gauging that by the high level of inquiry every time a property was listed. “Sometimes there are as many as 50 inquiries in the first days of a fresh listing hitting the market. “While a large proportion of these people are looking, waiting for the day they can cross the border, those that are buying sight-unseen are having a significant positive impact on property prices.

VESPAs have been responsible for a record increase in the number of sales during the winter months and a median sale price increase of 8.3% in the hinterland against the corresponding period last year. More than 60% of Hinternoosa sales are now multiple offers which reinforces a sellers market condition. That has seen a dramatic drop in days a property is on the market. HISTORIC HOLDING SELLS The respect, the manners and common courtesy found in regional areas has a lot to do with the shift from the cities. Drew Fenton at Hinternoosa took 641 Eumundi-Kenilworth Rd, Eerwah Vale, to auction at 5pm on Saturday. He said one of the driving factors was the appreciation of what the hinterland offered and the community orientation. The three-bedroom, one-bathroom circa 1900 house on 4.23ha with shed attracted interest from across a lot of groups – Melbourne but also Brisbane and local.

“It will be interesting to see the level of activity once the borders open. “It is not a given that it will be positive. It may have the reverse effect if the fear of missing out disappears once southerners have their freedom. “As I always say, real estate is a longterm investment and will always reward those that take that view.’’ The Noosa hinterland market is being seen as a direct beneficiary of this demographic change, according to Hinternoosa agents. Sea-changers who made the move from the major capitals 20 or 30 years ago are now adopting the tree-change mentality. Millenials, as singles, were drawn to the vibrancy of inner-city living but are now reaching the family stage of life and are seeking an affordable, sustainable lifestyle. Traffic congestion, security issues and lack of privacy are reasons they are being “pushed’’’ from cities. Better internet connections, space for home-grown vegies, farmers markets and sense of community are “pull’’ factors.

In the end it was knocked down to the Brisbane buyers for $790,000. “The house had oodles of character,’’ Drew said. “The property was a Cobb and Co coach transfer station more than 100 years ago, and would suit horses and livestock. “The buyers liked the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle. “People are getting out, looking for a more balanced lifestyle. “This is a safe bubble in their minds. “The demand for hinterland properties is coming from people have had the ‘want’ to move. “Once Covid hit, they discovered they need only be in the office a day a week so they are making the move now.’’ LAGUNA BAY OUTLOOK Little Cove was the place to be on Saturday with two well-positioned and presented properties being taken to auction by agents at Tom Offermann Real Estate. The first was 18/24 Little Cove Rd at 1pm, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse in The Cove, with Jesse Stowers. Held on the rooftop terrace with Laguna Bay views behind auctioneer Gordon Macdonald, phone bidding started at $2.750m. The response, also from a phone bidder, was $2.90m. It continued back and forth with $2.925m then straight back at $3m. And then 20 with starter, and $3.1m in reply. With the sound of waves crashing in the background and a sea breeze, the auctioneer reminded that Double Island Point would virtually become your new backyard. Bidding continued at $3.130m, then $3.20m. The strong bidding seemed to be having an effect with the auctioneer seeking some shade and time for negotiations. There was an increase to $3.30m where it was called three times and sold. ELEVATED POSITION Auctioneer, agents and a good percentage of the crowd then made their way up the hill to 1/80 Upper Hastings St where Rebekah Offermann was offering the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with pool and rooftop terrace.

With wide views of the Noosa River, the auction had created a great sense of anticipation. “Many have been watching the market,’’ auctioneer Gordon Macdonald said. “Let’s see if we can satisfy that interest.’’ There had been a stack of registrations and with a chorus in the kitchen of agents answering phones the bidding got under way at $2.4m. The phone bid was answered by $2.5m from the floor then $2.6m offered and $2.7m in front. immediate retort Fresh interest of $2.9m came from out on the deck, then increases of $100,000s to $3.6m in front. A bid of $3.750m on the deck looked to have the competition beaten but that saw $3.8m. Yet a further increase to $3.850m won the day. WIDE VIEWS, APPEAL When it comes to location, 2/37 Sobraon St, Sunrise Beach, has got it. The three-bedroom, two-plus bathroom apartment with rooftop pool is one of just two in the C’Vue complex. It goes to auction on Saturday at noon with Gillian McCauley and Leanne Southwell of Richardson & Wrench Noosa. There have been close to 100 inspections on the property, Gillian said earlier this week. Interest has been mainly from Melbourne but with quite a lot of locals looking to downsize and improve their position. Brisbane interest has been more for use

as a weekender. “Position is the most talked about aspect,’’ Gillian said. “Anything with a lift and double lock-up garage in this area. “The views are just incredible.’’ And if C’Vue is not enough, Gillian has a three-bedroom, two-plus bathroom beachside apartment at 1 Da Vinci, Duke St, Sunshine Beach, set for auction on November 7. Again, it offers elegance and position along with lift, two-car garaging and being one of two in the complex. PERFECT FOR FAMILY LIVING Cathy Fraser of Tom Offermann Real Estate is dealing with three post-action offers after Saturday’s on-site event at 14 Habitat Pl, Noosa Heads, and negotiations are continuing on the four-bedroom, fivebathroom house with pool on 2100sq m. This Saturday at 11am Cathy is taking the four-bedroom, three-bathroom family home with pool at 9 Ridgeway St, Sunrise Beach, to auction.

HOME FOCUS

INCOMPARABLE NOOSA HEADS IF you have your eye on the prize albeit a house-size apartment in an award-winning precinct, this is it. From the elevated prodigious alfresco living space on the ground floor, nature rules imposing its quiet strengths, with filtered views through Paperbark trees in the reserve abutting a waterway on Noosa Sound. There’s an emphasis on privacy; the only intrusion is birdsong. And that’s just the beginning to finding an extraordinary piece of paradise. A classy interior design, neutral palette, marble flooring, exquisite artworks and pops of colour, create an ambient atmosphere. It exudes a special kind of serenity yet spells escape, unwind, enjoy. Ceilings throughout are lofty and have a VJ-profile, however in the open-plan living space which extends seamlessly to outdoors, they soar to three metres. The kitchen with Caesarstone bench tops, integrated refrigerator, wine chiller and highend Miele appliances including a steam oven, is augmented by a butler’s pantry - akin to a second kitchen. The dining space, media room and office are also very generous as is the master ensuite with spa bath and walk-in-robe, which opens to the alfresco terrace with a louvred awning and glass balustrading. To the right of the lobby is a family-sized bathroom and two large bedrooms with sliders, open to a covered courtyard. It’s not just a very private alternative space for alfresco entertaining but there’s another

piece de resistance. Open your gate and unrivalled facilities such as a heated 25m lagoon pool surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens, a gazebo, pavilion with outdoor kitchen, indoor plunge pool, change facilities and a gym, are steps away. “There’s so much to love about this apartment in Settler’s Cove, an award-winning apartment precinct with exceptional design standards,” exudes Tom Offermann Real Estate’s number 1 agent Eric Seetoo. “There’s nothing comparable in Noosa Heads. And did you know a jetty is just three minutes away so why not book the water taxi to whisk you away to your favourite restaurant near or on the Noosa River”. Facts & Features: Total floor area: 284m² Outdoor kitchen: under-bench refrigerator, storage and barbecue Laundry with Miele appliances Multiple storage options Fully ducted, multi-zoned reverse-cycle airconditioner Touchscreen video intercom Ducted vacuum system Lift access from garage Secure 2-car basement parking with lockup storage Indoor plunge pool, change facilities and gym Heated 25m lagoon pool, gazebo, pavilion with outdoor kitchen No holiday letting ●

ON THE COVER

HIDDEN TREASURE IN NOOSA’S ALLURING LITTLE COVE JANINE Allis, Boost Juice founder and entrepreneur extraordinaire, is relinquishing the family’s ultra-luxe Noosa holiday haven. First impressions count for everything, especially when you are near the entrance of world-famous Noosa National Park and admiring the head-tuning almost celestial-height foyer of the ravishing residence, which mimics the landscape with a sophisticated yet laid-back, shoes-off mindset. Expansive interiors exemplify a sense of calm, with the most critical living spaces responding with patterns of northerly light via glass louvres, large panes and banks of bi-folds. The design including the restrained natural palette of finishes, colours and materials such as polished Spotted Gum floors, statement walls of woven coconut fibre and textured linen, also sumptuous leather furniture and striking artworks, really is reminiscent of a glossy spread in the latest Belle magazine. Relaxing or entertaining options offer class or casual, indoors or out. You choose. The lounge with its bespoke cabinetry extends in a seemingly transparent way to the covered western deck, similarly the dining space which sweeps out on the north side, totally wraps around the eastern side with rainforest backdrop and has a gas-lift servery from the kitchen. Needless to say, every high-end accoutrement awaits the enthusiastic cook. The design of this residence was driven by a desire to maximise space and enhance liveability, and it all comes into play with a deliberate mood swing on the entry level. The living area, kitted out with

couch, pool and ping pong tables, flows out to a massive ultra-private terrace and pool, which is fringed on two sides by exotic Rhapis palms. Rinse the salt off from a day at the beach under the rain shower and note how inviting the egg chair looks. In the north wing, a chic master retreat with walk-in robe and large travertine bathroom with double shower, has a private deck and rainforest views. Morning coffee accompanied by birdsong whilst deciding on surf breaks, sounds de rigueur. Two queen sized bedrooms share a family bathroom which also has travertine wall and floor tiles. On the lower level is a true teen’s domain, a living/media space, with a custom built desk, bedroom big enough for four, eye-catching mural, a bathroom, also the laundry. This simply irresistible beauty on the doorstep of Noosa National Park and world recognised Surfing Reserve, is also just 5-minutes to Little Cove Beach and 8-minutes via the foreshore boardwalk to Hastings Street’s boutiques, art galleries, bars and beachside restaurants. Buoyed by Noosa’s booming property market, Janine Allis, a self-made business woman, Boost Juice founder, and chairwoman of Retail Zoo which also owns Betty’s burgers, is relinquishing the current family holiday haven, in favour of a more substantial property, also in exclusive Little Cove. Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann has slated 12 Mitti Street Noosa Heads for auction on 14 November 2020. ●
