Saturday night’s storm lashed Noosa with fierce winds cutting a swathe through Eumundi, snapping 100ft tall eucalypts in half, smashing one roof and leaving debris strewn across roads and backyards. Noosa SES local controller Warren Kuskopf said 96 calls for help were logged on Saturday night and crews were called in from Sunshine Coast, Maleny and Coolum to help. “There were trees down on houses. Some major trees were down on roads,” he said.”Eumundi got really badly slammed. Trees were just slewed off half-way down.” Eumundi resident Zander Skokidis said he looked out his window about 5.30-6pm on Saturday evening to see a pile of large gums trees just snap off. Mr Skokidis said he’d lived in the area for 20 years and had never seen anything like it. “It was like a vortex,” he said. In only 10 or 15 minutes the wind whipped through smashing anything in its path, he said. “We were lucky,” he said. A shed that served as an office for a neighbour was blown apart with its roof left wrapped around a nearby gum tree. Mr Kuskopf said the areas major roads, Noosa-Eumundi and Noosa-Cooroy roads were littered with fallen trees and powerlines were brought down across the area. Powerlines were also downed on Louie Bazzo Drive at Cootharaba. “Fortunately we didn’t have any damage from hail but there was a lot of damage from the wind,” he said. Mr Kuskopf said crews worked through the night Saturday, all Sunday and back on Monday. “We looked at a dozen houses. Some had minor damage to guttering. There was a whole roof destroyed and half a house demolished because of a tree coming down on it,” he said.”It would have been very distressing. They were fortunate they weren’t in that part of the house when the tree hit. There could have been some serious injuries.” Ergon Energy crews worked across the weekend to repair powerlines and restore power to the town of Eumundi with the power switched back on Monday. - Continued page 3

An artwork originally inspired by mental health challenges has turned into so much more for St Andrew’s Anglican College Year 12 student Poppie Thorpe, after Covid restrictions stranded her and her family in New Zealand for four months and forcing her to complete the end of Term 1 and all of Term 2 remotely. Poppie’s artwork Isolated in Ambiguity received an Excellence Award in the Creative Generation Excellence Awards and will be displayed in the central exhibition at GoMA in 2021. Although the talented visual art student had already decided on a piece that explored mental health challenges, her own and shared experiences through Covid isolation, lockdowns and restrictions heightened and emphasised the end result. “It was quite hard seeing everyone back at school once Queensland’s restrictions eased, especially because I was still stuck in a different country without my friends and had to do classes online,” she said. “The beginning of Covid and having to leave Australia for four months caused a lot of stress for me which also influenced a part of my artwork.

The editor’s desk To the casual observer Noosa appears to be enjoying business as usual. There are people on the beaches, at the markets and in the cafes. Covid-19 restrictions have lifted considerably, particularly compared to our Victorian counterparts. But according to Noosa Chamber of Commerce there are many small business owners struggling to survive financially and are hurting emotionally and mentally. The chambers new president Rob Neely says a members survey showed a quarter of accommodation and retail businesses on the glitter strip are not sure they will see the year out. He said Council figures show 20 per cent of Noosa’s industrial sector is having difficulties paying their rent while 30 per cent of services and 70 per cent of residents are in rental distress. These figures are alarming and worse when teamed with state statistics showing a jump in both suicide and domestic violence rates. Four months ago the chamber began phoning all of its 700 members. Rob said they could hear the depression in their voices. Never before have Noosa businesses needed to come together to share a beer and a snag. This Sunday 8 November in Noosa Woods from 1-4pm the Great Noosa Business BBQ will give business owners a chance to take some time out and have a chat, enjoy free entertainment and there will be kids activities. The free event has been put together by the chamber and an array of sponsors including Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa, the Lions Club and Beyond Blue. Because of Covid-restrictions the free event is ticketed with tickets available from the Eventbrite link on the Noosa Chamber of Commerce website.

Poppie Thorpe with her award winning art. “Isolated in Ambiguity represents my personal experiences with anxiety and how it can feel as though I am isolated from everyone around me. “Seeing other people struggle with the same thing all around the world also made me realise that what I was feeling was normal and that my artwork idea was more relevant than ever.” Poppie’s work, which is an augmented reality artwork, with an animation, audio and a printed digital illustration component, showcases various symptoms of anxiety and how it affects her personally. To complete the artwork she composed multiple images of herself into a still digital illustration, with animation and audio files into the EyeJack Creator app which is where the augmented reality feature came to life.

Having her artwork feature at GoMA is dream come true for Poppie, who plans to study a Bachelor of Arts next year and one day feature her art in exhibitions and possibly become an illustrator for children’s books. “I remember going to the visual art exhibitions since I was in primary, all the way through to secondary school and was always so inspired by the Grade 12’s artworks - hoping that my art would be just as good when I made it to my last year of school,” she said. Poppie is the fourth St Andrew’s student in the past five years to be represented in this prestigious exhibition. The Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art recognises and promotes excellence in visual art education throughout Queensland secondary schools.

Narrow escape as trees crash down From page 1 One Eumundi family consider themselves lucky after several of their tall gum trees snapped off in the winds Saturday night and came crashing down around them. Steve, Sue and son Jye were at the home where they had lived for about 20 years when the storm hit. “It was 15 minutes, if that,” Steve said. “It was just chaotic.” One tree fell smashing their three cars parked in their front yard. While the family’s attention was on their damaged cars they didn’t realise multiple trees had toppled in their back yard, crashing on their roof and coming through the ceiling. “We saw the stick through the ceiling and lots of water coming in,” Sue said. “(The house) was buried in trees.” They spent three days removing trees from the house and cars. They were happy to have an “old school” house built “cyclone proof” that withstood the damage with only the roof and ceiling to fix but saddened by the loss of the beloved Hills Hoist.

IN BRIEF Car smashes into tree in Peregian Springs A woman was transported to Nambour Hospital stable after her car crashed into a tree on Emu Mountain Arterial Road and Peregian Springs Drive at 6.39pm on Wednesday 28 October.

Sudden death investigation in Gympie Police are investigating the suspicious death of a 43-year-old man in Gympie. Preliminary investigations indicate at 6pm on November 1 a 2001 white Ford Falcon utility has crashed into the front gate of a property on Burns Road, Ross Creek. Information suggests the ute had been involved in an earlier incident at a John Street address in Maryborough where a man was admitted to a Hervey Bay hospital after sustaining a stab wound to his abdomen. The vehicle was abandoned upon impact and police conducted extensive patrols of the nearby area but were unable to locate persons of interest. At 6am on Monday morning, police arrested a 45-year-old man linked to the vehicle in the vicinity of Burns Road. Shortly after at 10am, a second man was located dead, down an embankment at a property on Burns Road. Police are appealing for anyone in the Maryborough and Gympie area with information or dashcam vision that may assist with the investigation to please come forward. Investigations into the circumstances of this matter are continuing.

Serious crash

What was an office was blown apart in the storm.

A motorcyclist is in serious condition after he was reportedly flung off his bike at high speed and into a tree in Cooroy. The man, aged in his 30s, was airlifted to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital by the Sunshine Coast’s RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter after the collision on Tuesday afternoon. It is believed the motorbike had first collided with a car,on Cooroy Belli Creek Road at 2.25pm The man remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition and has significant chest injuries.

Southern Region police have closed a threemonth operation aimed at reducing road trauma, Operation Seirra Protect. Despite more than 200 lives lost on roads across Queensland, less lives have been lost on Southern Region roads compared to last year. Inspector Lukia Serafim said a three-phased approach to road safety across the region has led to twelve lives lost compared to twenty across the same period in 2019. “We have sought to proactively engaged with targeted groups within the community, including school-aged children and elderly people. “Police have also been conducted various enforcement activities on our roads to ensure drivers are obeying the rules,” Inspector Serafim said. Across the three-month operation, nearly 105,000 random breath tests were conducted which detected 727 alleged drink drivers. More than 9,200 drivers were detected speeding and nearly 200 traffic infringement notices were issued for using a mobile phone.

CAMPAIGN NOTES MARK DENHAM | JAMES BLEVIN

Labor strong By Margaret Maccoll Labor candidate Mark Denham believes the strong stance Annastacia Palaszczuk took on border closures to protect Queenslanders from Covid-19 helped deliver her return to office. It was Mr Denham’s third run at the seat of Noosa and he hasn’t ruled out a fourth attempt. He said he loved meeting with people in the community, discussing the issues important to them and working out what government can do for them. Unlike his day job as a paramedic he’s not just seeing people at their worst. Speaking at his election after party last Saturday night Mr Denham said he saw the fear of the pandemic in the faces of people in Noosa, particularly among the area’s ageing population. Mr Denham said a lot of people got scared when the pandemic infected a cluster of people in Noosa. “They do see the benefit of the border closures. They didn’t want it in Noosa,” he said. Despite the initial impact on tourism of Covid-restrictions Mr Denham said it was clear Tourism Noosa’s marketing campaign aimed at the drive market had paid off with Queenslanders flowing in to holiday at home. He said the State Government had greatly assisted the community financially during the event with relief payments and interest-free loans to small business. “That’s what governments do,” he said. “Everyone loved it.” Mr Denham found the campaign differed considerably this election with a heavier focus on social media contact.

In another change this time and in a bid to reduce waste on how-to-vote cards his team placed QR codes on his corflutes with how-tovote instructions that people could just take a photo of on their iPhones. Mr Denham will return to his paramedic job once the election is finalised in a couple of weeks. Having recently lost an incredible 30kg he looks forward to going back in a much healthier and more energetic state.

Blevin bows out gracefully By Margaret Maccoll First time candidate the LNP’s James Blevin was gracious in defeat, congratulating Sandy Bolton on her win on Friday night. Mr Blevin wished her well on what he identified as a difficult time ahead dealing with local and state issues including the recovery from Covid-19. “I think I ran a good campaign. I fought hard and that speaks volumes for her popularity,” he said. “I probably learnt that the people of Noosa are loyal and they will give their elected officials time to achieve the things they need in the community. What we’re faced with is going to be a tall order.” In addition to the Covid-crisis Mr Blevin cited the Beckmans Road upgrade, the need for expanded hospital services and the management of the Noosa River as major issues affecting the electorate. “I wish Sandy all the best for delivering on the issues and working with the next government,” he said. “I have nothing but hope for Noosa and for Queensland and hope we can recover from the pandemic as much as possible,” he said. Mr Blevin said his desire to enter politics stemmed from his family’s long tradition of serving the community, with his father and two brothers having served in the armed forces. He took three months unpaid leave from his position as senior audit manager with BDO to run for the seat and now plans to return to work. In happy news for his family, his wife Sammy is expecting their child.

Greens down but not out according to Rhonda Prescott The Greens candidate for Noosa Rhonda Prescott congratulated Sandy Bolton and her team “for conducting an energetic and extremely focused election campaign culminating in a landslide victory”. “I also congratulate Noosa voters for having the courage to again elect a candidate outside of the two major political parties,” she said. “We are fortunate to have a hard working local representative committed to achieving the best outcomes for our community and I wish Sandy all the best. Contesting an extremely popular independent incumbent in Noosa was always going to be challenging, and number of primary votes for The Greens in this electorate has dropped in comparison to recent prior elections. “However our local branch has gained

new members and supporters, Queensland Greens have doubled our representation in State Parliament and I have been able to use my candidacy to share our positive message for solutions to combat climate change, create employment opportunities and boost the economy as well as advocating for racial and social justice.” Ms Prescott said her first candidate experience had been positive overall and she appreciated the support and encouragement she had received. “Spending two weeks at pre-polling shoulder to shoulder with the other candidates it was gratifying to discover just how much common ground there was between myself and the other candidates in our collective recognition of the urgent need to dramatically reduce

Greens candidate for Noosa Rhonda Prescott greenhouse gas emissions to avoid runaway climate change,” she said. “The challenges of our time require all citi-

zens, all three levels of government in Australia and the whole global community to put aside ideological differences and work together to achieve solutions. I hope that in the next term of the Queensland parliament we will see some real progress towards the necessary transition towards renewable energy, saving what is left of the Reef, stopping wholesale de-forestation, conservation of koalas and reversing the decline in biodiversity. “I love it when the other parties adopt Greens policies. It was great to see the LNP announce plans for investment in recycling technology including a solar panel recycling facility and Labor committing to a new Renewable Energy Fund to facilitate investment in publicly-owned renewable energy assets.” 12465038-HL42-20

CAMPAIGN NOTES RHONDA PRESCOTT | SANDY BOLTON

The people have spoken By Margaret Maccoll Independent candidate Sandy Bolton retained her seat of Noosa with a comfortable win increasing her primary vote to 44 per cent and in a two-candidate preferred count amassed an amazing 65 per cent. The 2017 election saw a 16 per cent swing away from LNP candidate Glen Elmes. In 2020 LNP James Blevin has retained the polls held by Elmes with 29 per cent of the primary vote. Labor candidate Mark Denham edged forward by 2 per cent this time to gain 14 per cent of the primary vote from 12 per cent in 2017 and retain third spot. The Greens saw a drop in votes this year gaining about 7 per cent of the vote compared to 11 per cent in 2017. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party experienced the biggest swing in this election dropping from 11 per cent of the vote in 2017 to only 3 per cent in 2020. While the Animal Justice Party candidate Darrell Redford gained just 1.5 per cent of the vote. Voting varied widely across the Noosa electorate.

Stall holders Lyndale Hughes, Ray Jackson and Gary Hughes. Support for Ms Bolton was strongest at Kin Kin and Boreen Point where she gained about 54 per cent of the primary vote. At Peregian Beach Ms Bolton polled 38 per cent of the vote with Labor gaining 17 per cent and the Greens 16 per cent. LNP voters were strongest in Noosaville giving first time candidate Blevin 34 per cent of the vote while at Kin Kin he scored only 13 per cent. Pre-polling, postal votes and telephone votes made up about half this year’s vote but there were still plenty of people at the polling booths on Saturday and stall holders were making the most of the crowds with fundraising efforts.

Voters head to the polls for the State Election.

A triumphant win for Sandy By Noosa Mp Sandy Bolton Noosa, we worked and fought hard to keep Noosa independent - AND WE DID IT! How proud I am of this community. In the spirit which has seen us come through fires and pandemics, you have, through your vote, sent some very clear messages. Your voice has been heard. That you deserve to be respected and will no longer accept the behaviours of candidates or political parties that utilise electioneering designed to misinform. That you will not tolerate being ignored, or taken for granted, ever again. You said through your vote many things: to keep the momentum going; to retain our uniqueness; and to be connected through shared aspirations. And to get on with the job. Now, for the next four years we can continue to do that, together. How very humbled I have been with the outpouring of support through this time, and to be given the opportunity to finish what I started - and to commence on the next priorities. A massive “thank you ” to everyone who made this possible - volunteers, campaign workers, advisers, the whole ‘Teal Army’ and

everyone who went to the polls - how appreciative I am of everything you do, have done, and that you aspire to. There are no words, only deep respect and an ongoing commitment to work hard for you. To be elected again to represent this community, in its diversity, passion and at times, opposing viewpoints is the greatest of honours, and a privilege unlike any other. Love Noosa? More than you can imagine! To those candidates and parties who campaigned with respect for our community, thank you and blessings. Your efforts as part of creating elections free of tokenisms, poor behaviors and deliberate deceptions have been deeply appreciated. To those who followed a different path, please reconsider your tactics next time. As I have said, our community deserves much better, and our expectations will be even higher next time. Again, thank you Noosa. With incredible memories, as well a croaky voice from prepoll and election day, I will take a couple of days out whilst we are still in caretaker, however I’m look forward to seeing you online and offline, on the streets, and especially in preparation for what will be an extremely busy Christmas. We have much to celebrate - and do!

RHONDA PRESCOTT | SANDY BOLTON

It’s a Cyclone Sandy win Opinion by Phil Jarratt While the storm and tempest raged all around us last Saturday night, taking the power out in a lot of places, nothing could put out Sandy Bolton’s shining light as she trounced the field and increased her already impressive majority.

At around 9pm the veteran ABC psephologist Antony Green cast his learned eye over South East Queensland seats and declared “huge gains for Labor in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast”. Well, not quite. Certainly it was Labor’s night across the broader region, with a couple of surprise pickups in Caloundra and Pumicestone, but here

in Noosa, Mark Denham once again took one for the team, failing to better his 2017 result after what can only be described as a lacklustre campaign. This was an interesting result in a poll where Labor fared well wherever they ran an energetic campaign, even if it didn’t get them over the line. A case in point being Burleigh, where for-

mer surf champ Rabbit Bartholomew gave sitting LNP member Michael Hart a great fight, considering the former’s complete lack of political experience and the latter’s decent track record as a local member. Whether it was the Covid times favouring the incumbent, or the failure of the LNP to enthuse us with new ideas as opposed to tired rhetoric, the wind was blowing Labor’s way, even in Townsville where the thinly-disguised racism of a youth curfew didn’t wash with the electorate. But in Noosa, no matter which way the state-wide tide was pulling, nothing could blunt the force of Cyclone Sandy. Certainly not the LNP, whose media and mail-drop campaign to paint the independent as a Labor stooge, seen in this paper twice, did no favours for James Blevin, who had shown promise until he had to defend the indefensible, and was rightly carved up like so much boerewors by Annie Gaffney on ABC Coast FM. But James is young and pretty smart, and may rise again. As for Sandy, what can you say about a gal who gives it everything she’s got? Even people who don’t particularly like her position on some issues, invariably admire her never-ending efforts to achieve community consensus and present the Noosa view to parliament. And even in a one-house parliament, the power of an independent with 65 percent of the vote cannot be ignored. Contrary to what the party hacks tell you, she has the power to deliver better results for Noosa than either of the majors. Since it was created in 1992, and long before, when it was part of Cooroora, Noosa has been a safe LNP seat, with a couple of brief Labor hiccups. And even though the demographic has changed considerably, you would expect conservatism to still hold sway. But then along came Sandy, unseating a good local LNP member in 2017, despite his commitment to de-amalgamation, and increasing her majority in 2020 through sheer hard work and commitment to her electorate. The problem for the major parties here is not just Sandy’s ball of energy. It’s that in Noosa enough people look beyond the hype and seek out real values in a candidate. That’s why it might be Annastacia’s Queensland, but it’s Sandy’s Noosa.

Noosa survives a Satanic mass

Charges over death

By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Temple of Satan’s satanic mass went ahead last Friday with no protests and only a small group of dissenters who stood on the footpath behind a crucifix reciting prayers and passages from the Bible. Attendees gathered outside The J Theatre where the event was held prior to its commencement to speak with media and express their views. Describing herself as a heathen lesbian witch Lesley Pantlin spoke about free speech. She said historically Christianity had the right to sway government but they should realise they were only one of the religions in the country. She praised the free speech enjoyed by Australians but said she disagreed with the Freedom of Religion Bill because she felt it would give people the right to be discriminatory.“We have to have tolerance. We need to have respect,“ she said. Members of the Noosa Church came to discuss their Christian views. Church member Chris Symons said he wanted “to bring the love of God“. He said the Temple of Satan had the freedom to express its views. “God is love, love can only be expressed in freedom,“ he said. Noosa Temple of Satan leader Brother Samael Demo-Gorgon blessed some lollies that were dispersed on the footpath before attendees entered The J Theatre for the mass with two security guards on watch. The sold out event featured a sermon deliv-

Brother Samael told the gathering the Noosa Temple of Satan viewed Satan as a powerful metaphor for rebellion against arbitrary authority as well as a champion of enlightenment and had six core principles. The principles included rebellion against

tyrannical authority and compassion for those around them, he said. To achieve enlightenment they encouraged skepticism driven by education and information. Other principles included critical thought based in scientific knowledge, autonomy over ones bodies and indulgence in life’s pleasures as long as it causes no harm to anyone else.

A man has been charged with murder following the death of a 43-year-old man in Gympie on Sunday. It will be alleged that on November 1 a fight broke out between four men at an address on John Street in Maryborough around 5pm. Two men then allegedly fled the scene in a white ute after sustaining injuries. A third man aged 36 was taken to Hervey Bay Hospital after sustaining a non-lifethreatening stab wound to his abdomen. At approximately 10pm on November 1 a white ute crashed into the front gate of a property on Burns Road, Ross Creek. The vehicle was abandoned upon impact and police conducted extensive patrols of the nearby area but were unable to find persons of interest. At 6am Monday morning, police located a 45-year-old man allegedly linked to the located vehicle who was then taken into custody to assist with police inquiries. At 10am a 43-year-old man was located dead, down an embankment at a property on Burns Road. Ongoing investigations by police led to the arrest yesterday evening of a 36-year-old Island Plantation man alleged to have been involved in the initial altercation at John Street, during which the 43-year-old deceased man sustained serious injuries. He has been charged with murder, assault occasioning bodily harm and wilful damage and was due to appear in Hervey Bay Magistrates Court on November 3. Investigations are continuing.

Queensland bid is a-go By Ian Jobling Queensland’s proposal for the 2032 Olympic Games is hotting up. The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) believes Queensland’s bid for selection as host state is “ahead of the pack” thanks to the commitment of all levels of government and Australia’s great experience in running major global sporting events. The AOC‘s job is to select, fund and send Australian athletes to the Olympics and its CEO Matt Carroll, has told Noosa Today exclusively the Games “will supercharge sport in

Australia as well as deliver significant job, tourism and sporting infrastructure benefits.” “With the support of the Federal Government, Queensland Government and the South East Queensland Council of Mayors, the candidature for a Games in Queensland is well advanced and includes the development of a detailed Games’ masterplan. “The impact of COVID 19 has meant the Olympic Candidature Leadership Group (OCLG), whose chairman is the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has pressed the hold button on its discussions with the International Olympic

Committee’s Future Host Commission. “The mandate of the Future Host Commission is to work with potential hosts to help them understand the various elements and opportunities in hosting the Games.” He said the discussions would recommence in due course, with the OCLG hoping to progress a Queensland candidature from the “Continuous Dialogue” stage to “Targeted Dialogue” ahead of an announcement of the successful candidate within the next two years. “As Australia looks to recover from the impact of the pandemic, a ten-year runway from 2022 forward will provide a significant stimulus

at a critical time for our country. “This runway will include a raft of major international events coming to Australia including a Women’s Basketball World Cup, Women’s Football World Cup, a World Road Cycling Championships, and potentially a Rugby World Cup, and the World Track and Field Championships in 2025 before the jewel in the crown, the Olympic Games,” Mr Carroll said. “These are exciting times for Olympic sports as we look to the Tokyo Olympic Games next year.” SEE PAGE 53 for more on the history of Olympic bids.

Local businesswoman creates Noosa’s signature scent Noosa Heads now has its very own scent, capturing the essence of the area’s stunning coastal qualities in a bottle for all the world to enjoy. Local businesswoman and well-known photographer, Katja Anton, was inspired to create the unisex eau de parfum with Australian native botanicals and marine elements after many friends, clients and visitors repeatedly said they wished they could take a little of Noosa’s magic home with them. Now, in these unparalleled Covid19 times where travel has become a rare luxury, loves of Noosa across Australia and overseas can do just that. “I’ve been photographing Noosa’s ethereal beauty on film for some years and I’m very aware of how Noosa’s unique beach, coastline, parks and bushlands, river and overall sense of being an idyllic destination can evoke nostalgic feelings and memories for people,” Katja said. “People commonly say they wish they

could bottle it - and I have. “The sense of smell is a superpower and a familiar scent can return us to a moment or place like no other; I wanted everyone to be able to take a special experience of Noosa into their hearts and homes. “The sensual and saline marine notes of the fragrance can instantly transport you back to Noosa, no matter where you are, so even in lockdown you can close your eyes and return to Noosa whenever you wish.” Katja is a professional photographer who made Noosa her home 15 years ago after leaving Europe with her young family. Her love for Australia’s natural beauty led to creating an aromatic version of Noosa’s best features - its naturally beautiful outdoors. “Many destinations worldwide have created their own scent and I was surprised that Noosa and other Australian locations do not have that, so it was my dream to capture and compose Acqua Noosa,” she said. “Another signature facet is that the bottle’s

glass is imported from France for its superior quality. In keeping with my aim to bring the world together, the name reflects my Italian heritage, the bottles are European, and the perfume is entirely Australian.” The fragrance boasts light, fresh marine and citrus, herbal top notes that open into sensual amber and musk base notes, balanced with Australian native botanicals of sandalwood, lavender, and bush lemon. Acqua Noosa is blended and bottled entirely in Australia by experienced perfumers and is vegan, plant based and cruelty free, without any harsh chemicals or heavy metals. The fragrance is available online and in several landmark locations in Noosa, including high end retail shops and Tourism Noosa’s Visitor Experience Centre on Hastings Street.

Junior doctors exhausted More than half of the Sunshine Coast’s trainee doctors are worried they will make a clinical mistake because they are exhausted from working excessively long hours, according to the latest AMA Queensland public hospital report card. The 2020 Resident Hospital Health Check (RHHC), which compares employment conditions at public hospitals across the state, surveyed 730 interns, house officers and other junior doctors. AMA Queensland Council of Doctors in Training Chair, Dr Maddison Taylor said 52 per cent of Sunshine Coast doctors reported concerns about making an error due to fatigue, and a quarter had not been fully paid for overtime hours worked. “Disturbingly, 29 per cent of junior doctors on the Sunshine Coast were advised not to claim unrostered overtime by an administrative officer or senior medical officer, and 20 per cent felt claiming would negatively affect their assessment,” she said. “This year’s survey also revealed a rise in junior doctors feeling unsafe at work, from 22 per cent in 2019 to 27 per cent in 2020, reflecting the impact of COVID in our hospitals.” Dr Taylor said rates of bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment remained too high in Queensland’s public hospitals. “The overall proportion of junior doctors who personally experienced these behaviours has decreased from 39 per cent in 2019 to 34 per cent this year, however, the rate of staff witnessing bullying, discrimination or sexual harassment of a colleague has stayed the same at just over 40 per cent,” she said. “Of those who experienced or witnessed bullying, discrimination or sexual harassment, less than one-third reported the incident, and only 65 per cent felt the matter was handled adequately when they did report it. We need to do better.” Dr Taylor said hospitals needed to be sup-

The 2020 Resident Hospital Health Check had some disturbing results. portive, safe places for Queensland’s newest generation of doctors. “Doctors need to be able to work in healthy hospitals so they can provide the best possible patient care and thrive in their careers,” she said. “As evidenced in the survey, doctors in training are working exceedingly long hours and in some cases without adequate senior support, this predisposes us to burnout, and increases the rates of anxiety and depression, so it’s important not only to fix the systemic issues at play in our hospitals but also to provide practical support and advice in those early years.”

AMA Queensland has called on the next State Government to commit $1.67 million to fund a Wellness at Work program to ensure all junior doctors receive the resilience training and support they need in their first five years of training. The call for funding is included in AMA Queensland’s 11-Point Action Plan - The Pathway to Better Health for Queenslanders which also calls on all political parties competing in this month’s election to commit to reviewing the mandatory reporting laws. AMA Queensland President Professor Chris Perry said the laws, introduced last year, actively discouraged doctors from seeking medical treatment when they needed it.

“The laws require health practitioners to report fellow clinicians if they believe they have depression, anxiety or another mental illness that could place the public at risk,” he said. “The result is usually revoking of the doctor’s medical licence, even though their illness may be extremely treatable. Practitioners should have equal rights to access confidential high-quality medical treatment for mental health issues without feeling threatened that their medical licence will be revoked. “Every year in Queensland, at least four doctors take their own lives. These deaths could be prevented if doctors were able to seek treatment without fear of losing their ability to practice medicine.”

BEACH PEOPLE

Our ice cream superman On any sparkling blue Laguna Bay day, Main Beach Noosa will be filled with happy people, but it would be difficult to find anyone happier than the muscle-bound bloke selling ice creams out of a van at First Point. For 27 years German-born Rainer Geitl has parked the 1967 Toyota Dyna 900, known as the Frenzy Ice Cream Van, at the east end of the beach and done a brisk trade not just in ice creams but cold drinks, coffees and hot dogs, all served with the beaming smile of a man happy in his work. He’s a gentle, thoughtful giant, whose love of Noosa is written all over his face. “How many jobs are better than this?” he booms. “I’m looking out over a beautiful beach and I’m dealing with people who are happy because they’re buying an ice cream. As far as I’m concerned, we live in the best place on the planet. I’m not a millionaire but I feel privileged to be doing what I’m doing.” Born in Germany in 1962, Rainer left school at 14 to follow his older brother into the chef’s trade, finishing his apprenticeship at 17 as the youngest qualified chef in Bavaria. His mission then was to gain experience working in the kitchens of the best five-star hotels in Europe, but during the long hours and poor pay of his apprenticeship, he had also developed another passion - bodybuilding. “But we didn’t use that word for it,” says Rainer, “because even though Arnold Schwarzenegger was becoming a big star, it was still a little bit ridiculed, looked upon as being narcissistic. I just wanted to be fit and strong. I played

Relaxed Rainer and the Frenzy van. soccer early on, but when I started my apprenticeship the hours were so long I couldn’t do that, so I went along to a little gym around the corner and told them I had no money but wanted to train. They took pity on me and by the time I was 17 I could lift 120kg on the bench. That was a lot then and it’s still a lot today. I just loved it and I learned so much about food and nutrition and training methods.” At 20, Rainer won the first of many bodybuilding titles - Junior Mr Munich. “After that there was hardly a contest that I didn’t win, in

Europe then later in Australia,” he says. “There was no money - you’d win a plastic trophy and a can of protein powder that was most likely expired! But I just loved it.” Fortunately his career as a chef had taken off, working winter seasons in St Moritz and Davos, and summers in places like Jersey. He was planning on taking a job in the Caribbean when a friend told him the new Beaufort Hotel complex in Darwin was hiring experienced chefs. Rainer signed on as sous-chef and moved to Australia, rising to executive chef

The family decided to change coasts and moved to Noosa, where Rainer walked into a job cooking at Jasper’s (now Rococo) on Hastings Street. But something was bugging him. He recalls: “Being a chef is a tough gig. You work weekends and holidays and you work late. It’s not good for family life so I grabbed an opportunity to do something different.”

The Frenzy van had been through a couple of owners since starting in the late ‘80s, but Rainer gave it a spit and a polish and added some airbrushed koalas and new signwriting and opened for business in 1993. With the exception of some down time this year when the beach was deserted during the Covid lockdown, he’s been happily selling ice creams and strumming his guitar under the trees when it’s quiet ever since. “The van is nearly as old as me,” he laughs. “But it’s part of Noosa’s heritage now and I wouldn’t change it.

Blue Heart’s recognition One of Sunshine Coast Council’s region-shaping projects - Blue Heart Sunshine Coast - has been awarded the Regional Innovation Project of the Year at the Cities Power Partnership (CPP) Climate Awards. The innovation award seeks to uncover and celebrate transformative climate solutions and inspire other councils and levels of government to proactively manage the impacts of a changing climate. Blue Heart Sunshine Coast is an area of more than 5,000 hectares within the Maroochy River floodplain. The area is impacted by tidal inundation and, over time, is expected to continue transitioning from predominantly rural lands to estuarine wetlands due to climate change and projected sea level rise. The Blue Heart project seeks to manage the land and water through this transition in a sustainable manner to provide opportunities for our environment, community and economy. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the Blue Heart Sunshine Coast project was an innovative approach to secure opportunities for the future, consistent with council’s objectives in its Environment and Liveability Strategy. “The Blue Heart project is just one of the fantastic examples of how our council works with its partners - which in this case, is the Department of Environment and Science and Unitywater - to take action to identify risks and help our community prepare for the impacts of a changing climate,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Blue Heart Sunshine Coast is an Australian-first project and one which seeks to provide environmental, social and economic co-benefits within the Maroochy River floodplain’s transitioning landscape. “The Sunshine Coast, and our Blue Heart area in particular, is the ideal location to investigate carbon farming and blue carbon opportunities.

Coolum Creek Environment Reserves. “The Blue Heart will support private landholders and the local community to adopt new land management practices that build future economic and environmental resilience, like blue carbon, while contributing to council’s net-zero emission target. “Our Blue Heart partnership is a long-term commitment and one that will continue to grow and build momentum at a regional, national and international scale.” Division 9 and Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said Blue Heart Sunshine Coast was a ground-breaking project and the national recognition through the CPP’s Regional Innovation Award was well deserved.

“I’m so proud of what we’ve already been able to achieve through the Blue Heart project,” Cr Suarez said. “We’ve bought more land and dedicated it to conservation, rehabilitated waterways, facilitated a Blue Carbon research forum to investigate economic opportunities for private landholders and created community spaces like Unitywater’s Yandina Creek Wetland. “And, this is only the beginning. “Blue Heart Sunshine Coast is one of council’s five major green spaces that will contribute to the liveability and identity of our region and reinforce our vision to be Australia’s most sustainable region - healthy, smart, creative.”

An explosion of colour The story you know and love was given the royal treatment by local school students at Good Shepherd Lutheran College. Brought to life with an explosion of vivid colours, textures, song and dance, over 80 students from Year 4 to Year 12 carried the audience to the mysterious far away land of Agrabah. The musical Aladdin Jr., based on the award-winning film and the 2014 hit Broadway show is about the “diamond in the rough” street rat who learns that his true worth lies deep within. As in the well-loved story, Aladdin discovers a magic lamp and the Genie who has the power to grant three wishes. Wanting to earn the respect of the princess, Jasmine, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that tests his will and moral character. Mr Jim Tomkin and Mrs Kirsten Lee, musical directors of Aladdin Jr. at Good Shepherd were thrilled to be able to bring this beautiful story to the stage, especially after months of uncertainty. “The biggest challenge was to keep the performers rehearsing, even when they were at home during COVID-19 and we weren’t certain the musical could proceed,” Mr Tomkins said. “We were so relieved to be able to perform in front of an audience, it was really rewarding for the students, in fact for everyone involved.” Mrs Lee said, “A lot of hard work and dedication went into bringing our vision to life. Over 50 staff members and many parents were on that journey with us. The energy and vibes that the students brought to rehearsals was amazing.” While the four shows were performed with strict COVID-19 compliance measures in place, the level of excitement within the cast remained unaffected and the families were thrilled to return to a different sense of normality.

Garden takes off

NDSHS Principal Brett Burgess with the Year 10 boys who are part of the Achilles program.

Ten Achilles boys celebrate progress Ten Noosa District State High School Year 10 boys who are part of the Achilles program had their progress celebrated in a presentation and barbecue held at the Noosa Botanical Gardens last Friday. The Achilles program supports at-risk students with mentoring, guidance and outdoor hands-on experiences through Strength Potential, the RAGE Program and a Well-Being Program. The boys were mentored one-on-one by Strength Potential over a six-week period and taken through the six-session RAGE Program with teacher Dave Tomba and Youth Support Coordinator Heidi Campbell. Strength Potential Business Development Manager Jesse Gibson thanked Youth Support Coordinator Ms Campbell for her work organising the program at the school. “The past term has been an emotional journey, for sure. It’s been really, really amazing to

see these boys step in from where they started to get where they are now,” Mr Gibson said. Some of the boys have attained work, and improvements in grades across the board were acknowledged and celebrated. Former Year 10 Deputy Principal Renee Rackley made the time to be part of the boys’ celebration, as she was instrumental in setting up the program with Ms Campbell. Ms Rackley congratulated the ten boys. “I had 100 percent faith in all of you,” Ms Rackley said. Year 10 student Griffin Power said the best part of the program was spending time with his peers and mentors, while Year 10 student Floyd McNaughton said the program made school far more enjoyable. “Being able to spend time with my mates and doing more hands-on activities helped me enjoy school more and I’m keen to go back [to

school] now without looking forward to going home,” Mr McNaughton said. NDSHS 2016 graduate Luke Birch is now a mentor with Strength Potential, and he found revisiting his old school to assist the Year 10’s to be a very rewarding experience. “[It’s] A big honour coming back to the school that just helped make me the man that I am. Now I can be in these boys’ lives ... they had a big impact on me as well. It’s just really awesome,” Mr Birch said. NDSHS Principal Brett Burgess said the Strength Potential program was a success with significant improvements seen in the behaviour, attitude and academic grades of the ten boys involved. “In fact, the last time I saw many of them in my office was probably early this year and I can see they have become better human beings as part of this process,” Mr Burgess said.

Just a few weeks into the term and Tewantin State School’s garden project is taking off. Inspired by the Kids in Action theme of ‘We are Botanica: Plants for healthy bodies, minds, spirit and planet’ the Year 6 School Leaders led by Deputy Principal Rick Cass launched in to action. The first stop was a visit to the Noosa Community Garden where the volunteers kindly showed the students around and shared their knowledge on everything from Spring planting, composting and worm gardens to garden design. And what a design it is. All classes have purchased their very own plot and have started gardening. Turning an old, rarely used play space in to a thriving garden space has the whole school excited. Year 6 leaders are doing a wonderful job managing and maintaining the garden and the younger students are excited to see their plants growing already. With a focus on edible produce, the school garden is a great way for students to engage with healthy food choices and an understanding of where their fruit and vegetables come from, as well as providing a wonderful, natural space for students, teachers and staff to come together outside the classroom. Tewantin SS usually has a full calendar of community events every year, celebrating Harmony and NAIDOC weeks, as well as Book Week, ANZAC Day, Booin Gari and ending with the highlight of the year, Spring Fair. Deputy principal Rick Cass said, “Unfortunately we haven’t been able to hold our amazing community events this year, so it was great for everyone, staff and students, to get involved in our new garden.” “The kids have really embraced it and we have a host of eager helpers each day.” Principal Rob Jennings confirmed that after a tricky year the school intends to end on a busy, but happy and exciting note. “We’ve started a whole range of new clubs, activities and programs this term, including surfing, skating, swim squad, Ukulele, Art club, Pokemon club and a whole range of music activities too.” “The garden is in full swing and the school is buzzing.” The school is also in the midst of its Prep Transition program for 2021 Prep students and their families. With spaces at Transition Sessions limited this year due to COVID restrictions, it’s been a new-look program but the students have been thoroughly enjoying themselves and loving getting involved in ‘big school’.

2020 has been a year of triumph for 30 exceptional Queensland independent school teachers including Letitia Thomas of St Andrew’s Anglican College, Peregian Springs who have earned the highest levels of professional career recognition in Australia. The regional and metropolitan teachers have been certified by Independent School Queensland (ISQ) as Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers (HALT). They bring to 86 the total number of HALTs working in Queensland independent schools and join a further 750 certified teachers nationwide. HALT certification is overseen nationally by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) and undertaken locally by certifying authorities including ISQ. Teachers applying for certification undergo a rigorous evaluation process that involves gathering evidence of their teaching practices, classroom observations and peer and student reviews. Year 1 teacher Ms Thomas described teaching as a rewarding profession and credits her HALT mentor and colleague Kerrie Johnstone as being integral to her certification success. Ms Thomas began her working years studying a Diploma in Early Childhood and working within child care centres. “After becoming a young parent I decided to go to University to study Early Childhood Education and become an early childhood teacher. From that point, I have experienced a varied and exciting journey in education,“ she said. “Teaching is such a diverse and rewarding career. Every day is different and despite work-

Letitia Thomas and Kerrie Johnstone with St Andrews students. ing in the teaching profession for years, there is always an opportunity for new learning and improvement. The joy that is evident when a child discovers something new for the first time, is immeasurable. Despite being challenging at times - juggling so many different hats and roles - I truly believe that I have the most rewarding opportunity to build relationships and make a difference in young lives.“ Ms Thomas said taking part in the HALT program gave her the lens and scope to really analyse her teaching. “In some ways I have drilled down to analyse the daily choices that I make and alternatively, have looked at my teaching from a bigger picture,“ she said.Her mentor Kerrie Johnstone acted as a critical friend and assisted me in numerous ways, she said. “Her questioning and discussions around my daily practice helped me to identify how

my work within the classroom exemplified the teaching standards. Kerrie works in the secondary school and it was effective to have someone separate from my daily teaching world gain insight into my practice through our conversations and the examples within my portfolio. Kerrie herself has been through this process, so her advice was very relevant and pertinent to my success.“ 2020 has been a year of adaption and change for teachers. Ms Thomas said online learning had afforded them an opportunity to further extend their knowledge in this area and to do so within a short period of time. “As a direct result of this adaption, we have now further extended the use of the online platform for not only teaching and learning but also as part of our formal reporting processes,“ she said.

No teacher shortage as USC booms While Australia is facing an impending shortage of schoolteachers, USC looks set to graduate a record number of students from its postgraduate education programs over the next two years. On World Teachers’ Day (celebrated in Queensland on Friday 30 October), USC’s Deputy Head of School of Education Dr Susan Simon said enrolments in postgraduate Education programs at USC this semester had almost doubled from Semester 2 last year. “Normally we would have had 50, but this semester we have 90 people commencing in the Master of Teaching programs, which often appeal to non-school leavers with degrees who are considering a change of career,” Dr Simon said. “They can range from doctors, scientists, accountants, or people from the arts sector anyone passionate about sharing their knowledge with future generations, or even to find more secure employment.” A 2017-2019 Quality Indicators for Teaching and Learning survey showed that 92.2 per cent of postgraduate education graduates from USC had found employment at the time of the survey. Dr Simon said a national shortage of schoolteachers had been forecast across the

whole range of teaching areas and phases of schooling, with a particular need to ensure sufficient numbers for rural and remote areas of Queensland. “Population growth in areas such as we are experiencing here on the Sunshine Coast, for example, means that we are going to need more teachers,” she said. “This means we need to be more proactive now about getting more great teachers into the profession, and many of these teachers aim to work here in our local schools once qualified.” As well as the postgraduate education programs, USC also offers undergraduate Bachelor of Education programs in both Primary Education and Secondary Education as pathways to becoming a teacher. Enrolments for USC’s undergraduate education programs rose from 153 in Semester 2 last year to 208 in Semester 2 this year. These programs currently have an 86.8 percent employment success rate. In all pathways, students complete early classroom immersion to solidify their motivations for becoming teachers, and gain skills in leading large groups of learners. Dr Simon said the pandemic lockdown had

increased public appreciation for teaching as a profession, as parents across Australia found themselves supporting their children’s learning from home. “We have close relationships with teachers and school principals across the region and since lockdown they have noticed an increased admiration for the complexity of the profession and what it requires,” she said. “This might also have influenced people’s decision to change career direction and become a teacher. I decided to do my teacher education when my children were little because I could see the importance of contributing to students’ learning, as I was already immersed in the experience.” Dr Simon said World Teachers’ Day was a great opportunity to celebrate what teachers do in their everyday work and acknowledge the extraordinary challenges they had overcome this year. “The amount of work teachers had to put in to transfer learning to an online environment was massive, while they also continued to care for their students in a pastoral way and monitored how they were getting on at home,” she said. “Our teachers have done a magnificent job in very difficult circumstances.”

Ace debate The Sunshine Coast Schools Debating competition took on a different form this year due to the Covid-19 restrictions. While at one stage it looked like the whole competition would become a casualty of 2020 Covid-19, organisers were successful in coordinating with a range of schools across the Coast to run an online version of the competition via Zoom. This online format came with a few technical challenges, however many schools, including Good Shepherd Lutheran College, were still able to enter a team of Year 11 students to take part in this special version of the Debating competition. The schools involved took the opportunity to challenge their speakers to include points of information in their speeches. Debating coach and Head of Senior Years Studies Matt Armstrong said, “These are live interjections while the speaker is talking which requires quick thinking and rapid responses to arguments, and these interjections can make for a really thrilling debate.“ “At Good Shepherd we encourage the students to express their thoughts, argue their case with structure and clarity so it was wonderful to see those practices implemented in this competition.” The Good Shepherd team adapted quickly to the online format of the competition and won two out of four debates. They went on to compete in both the semi-finals and the finals, held in a live format at Sunshine Coast Grammar School, and adjudicated by a representative from the Queensland Debating Union. In the much anticipated Grand Final, the Good Shepherd team came up against Sunshine Coast Grammar School on the affirmative side of the topic, “That health is more important than freedom”. Mr Armstrong said, “All of the experiences of the year meant that the team formulated convincing and compelling arguments, and they won the competition overall and took home the USC Chancellor’s trophy for 2020.“ “It was a great way to end what was at times quite a turbulent journey.” As wonderful experience it was, undoubtedly students are looking forward to the competition returning in its live format in 2021 to enable more teams and students to take part.

Noosa leads the way Well, as the year continues to fly by and we find ourselves in November it was pleasing to see Councils across Queensland come together at the recent Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) Conference which I and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie attended. More importantly it was fantastic that the majority of Queensland Councils backed Noosa Council’s motion calling for a review of the way costs are awarded when councils are forced to defend their planning scheme in court. For years, councils across Queensland have had to foot much of the bill to defend their decisions to refuse planning applications even though the proposed development may have been in significant conflict with the town plan. With a vote of 201 to 15 in support of our motion it means that we’ve won the first major battle in reducing the huge cost to ratepayers when it comes to defending our planning decisions. The LGAQ can now lobby the Queensland Government to review how appeal costs are awarded where a development proposal is found to significantly conflict with Council’s planning scheme. As we edge closer to Christmas it is wonderful to see our ever popular free buses, including the loop bus back on the road this Christmas. Subject to Translink approval, travel will be free on a number of Translink services from 12 December 2020- 26 January 2021. The loop bus will service stops along Noosa Drive,

Weyba Road and Noosa Parade to make getting around town far easier and cost effective. Our other Go Noosa initiatives such as parkand-ride facilities and extra parking at Noosa Heads (in the form of paid parking) in the Lions Park will return. With more people able to get out and about at Christmas it will hopefully go some way toward helping our local businesses bounce back after a tough year due to Covid-19. Talking about tough years, ‘Connect Noosa’ November program is out now. 2020 has been a year like no other and ‘Connecting Noosa’ is a Council initiative to help residents reconnect with friends and make new ones by coming together to take part in free community activities which include yoga, tai chi, tech talks, sewing, dance and art classes. For more information please visit noosa.qld.gov.au for details. Finally, to finish on a high note, the Orealla Bridge underpass has re-opened. Contractors were last week putting the finishing touches on the project. It’s been quite a feat designing and building the new bridge in just over 10 months which is a quick turnaround for a project of this size. Again, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all residents in close proximity of the bridge for their patience and understanding during the construction period. Hopefully it is for them, like the rest of us well worth all the efforts put in. Until next month, stay safe.

Tourism marketing campaign delivers results Tourism Noosa’s marketing campaign ‘Enter the Biosphere’ has delivered strong campaign results and tourism operators are loving it. Capitalising on consumer sentiment with a desire to travel to clean, green and safe destinations, the campaign takes visitors on a journey to discover the many and varied ways they can enjoy the region while sharing what it means to be a biosphere reserve - by showcasing four key experiences; from the beaches, to river life, the Noosa country and the natural wonders of the region. The campaign features a highly targeted digital campaign combining animation and real life imagery across multiple platforms including YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, digital advertising with The Weekend Edition and print advertising in lifestyle and travel magazines, all targeting the drive market and interstate markets that are able to travel to Noosa. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said, “Enter the Biosphere has been a hugely successful campaign showcasing Noosa’s natural assets in a fun and informative way and cutting through the immense amount of tourism advertising currently out in the market.“ “The campaign was founded on a strong strategy using consumer sentiment research and the results speak for themselves with how it’s resonated with visitors. “The campaign results sit high above industry standards and more importantly, our members who have participated in the campaign are delighted with the positive results for their own businesses.“ Geoff Hussin Manager of Ivory Palms Resort took part in the campaign and said, “This campaign, combined with our marketing has worked. “We had our best September ever by 6 per cent. October is tracking level with last year and November, December and January

are tracking far better than 2019. Thanks so much for the huge effort”. Seahaven Noosa Resort took part in the campaign and additionally utilised Tourism Noosa’s campaign assets through their own marketing. Seahaven’s General Manager Alan Golley said, “We ran our Enter the Biosphere cam-

paign from mid-August to 18th September with a dedicated Enter the Biosphere Special.“ “Featuring a number of EDMs with an opening rate average of 39.5 per cent (way higher than industry standard) and boosted activity on Facebook, we generated over 3000 unique clicks, 3400 landing page visits and a reach of 94,260 from the campaign. I think

the campaign has attributed to our mid-week occupancy post September school holidays being so strong.“ The Enter the Biosphere campaign continues with both awareness and conversion campaigns in open markets, as well as continuing to add depth with a new storytelling series about the work of the Man and the Biosphere program in Noosa.

Calming you and the kids By Jessica Macdonald Coaching Have you watched the music video for by George Ezra’s ’Give me a minute to hold my girl’? He is in a small house that’s filling up with water and he rises to the top to get some air. I love the song and the video made me think that is sometimes how we are living inside our minds. It can feel overwhelming and the pressure rises and all we want to do is connect with someone - Give me a minute to hold ... (fill in the blank, who do you need to hold when you are stressed out?). Often, we can feel we are stuck in a small space and just need to move. The problem is when the pressure rises, we may not be in the best space to connect with someone else. That, however, could be what

we desperately need, as we need connection when the pressure rises. Get moving physically. If you are in an office, go to the bathroom. If you can walk around the block, do it. Ideally, when I am cross, I would change my plans and go swimming for an hour. However, having a spare hour free does not always coincide with when I’m raging about something. We can also get our kids moving to release the endorphins. Taking some deep breaths is also useful. It is really tricky to stay mad when we are taking deep breaths and focusing on another activity such as sport. Connect and redirect Connect to the right side of the brain, the side

that runs the emotional show. When it all gets a bit non-verbal, we know how we feel. Our kids can’t always articulate why they feel that way. Naming the emotion we can see can help them calm down. I can see you are really angry. Then, when things have calmed down, redirect with logic and reason. With my kids, the redirect part can come a day later when everyone is calm and are able to talk and listen. Name it to tame it If your kids are talkers, get them to articulate what happened and when, as a coherent narrative can help them heal. It’s as if you’re conducting an interview. You are helping the child articulate how s/he feels and put the story into sequential order. So short sentences

and let the kids do the talking. The event may not seem like a big deal to you. However, if it comes with big emotions or big behaviour then it is significant to the child. Or it could be a big deal for you both. Maybe your child had to unexpectedly go to hospital, talk about how you both felt. If you are interested in learning more techniques on how to create calm from chaos for you and your children, please visit my website or join me for the Keep Calm workshop (two hours) or the Creating Calm from Chaos six-week course, for one hour a week.

6000 young drivers learn By Abbey Cannan RYDA Noosa has reached an incredible milestone this year with 6000 students going through the program that has been running for 11 years. The Road Safety Education Program (RYDA) offers a one day excursion for Year 10 and 11 students at no cost to parents, students and the schools throughout the local area. Five hundred Rotary volunteers from 300 Clubs dedicate their time to the running of this life changing program. Noosa Rotary Club Tess Alexandroff said RYDA was helping to save lives now and into the future. “This program lays the foundation stone for the young learner drivers to become more aware of their rights and responsibilities as they go on the biggest journey of their lives being responsible drivers,“ she said. “I need to recognise the support given to the RYDA program by both the State Emergency Service and The Noosa Surf Club by providing first aid volunteers.“ Tess said the program had to be put on hold from March to August due to the Covid-19 pandemic but had kicked off again in October. “900 students have come through the program this year from six local schools,“ she said. A recent survey conducted by Road Safety Education found that 95 per cent of the classroom teachers surveyed believe RYDA should be compulsory for senior students and 60 per cent said RYDA supports the curriculum they teach in schools. Good Shepherd Lutheran College Head of Senior Students Karen Lunn said their Year 11 students attended the RYDA program in Term 3 this year, a perfect time for the cohort with many of them either having recently got their P plates or working towards it. “The RYDA program offered many pertinent messages about road safety, delivered

them to discuss the important messages that they learned at RYDA with their parents and at school with teachers. “We wish to express our sincerest appreciation to Rotary for organising such a worthwhile program for our students, and look forward to returning next year with our Year 11s.“ This life changing program is offered free to the students.

One session had students complete a personality test in order to assess their strengths and think about how to use these to develop strategies for avoiding potentially risky situations, such as avoiding being passengers in cars being driven by someone under the influence or driving dangerously. Karen said the tips provided in this session were extremely helpful. “Our Year 11 students commented on how valuable the day was for them, especially as they are just starting to gain their independence as young drivers of vehicles,“ she said. “It also provided plenty of opportunities for

Celebrating Ze Pickle By Abbey Cannan

Hotgas staff celebrate 30 years of service.

30 years By Abbey Cannan A Cooroy family business is celebrating 30 years of servicing the community of loyal customers with the help of their hardworking staff. Hotgas, originally known as Cooroy & Hinterland Gas, and later Red-E-Gas, was founded by John Arnold in 1990 when he was strawberry farming at Carters Ridge. John said he had no idea the business would go on for three decades when it first came to fruition. “We had gas on the house and there was an old fellow here that was a local agent. We would buy gas from him but he couldn’t keep doing it. It was offered to me and so I took it on,” he said. Starting out selling 10 cylinders a month from home, John quickly saw further opportunity to deliver to the locals in Cooroy and the Mary Valley from his one tonne Holden ute. “There’s been a lot of opportunities during the last 30 years which we have embraced, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would get where it is today,” he said. “We’ve grown in small steps and at times we’ve had to mortgage the house and the property to get us through things but it’s al-

ways been a steady growth. You do the right thing and people come to you.” The successful business, which is now run by John’s daughter, Shannon Arnold, has grown to a crew of 14 loyal staff members and a large LPG depot in Yandina. “We have a loyal, hardworking and experienced team. Des and Mel our managers have been with Hotgas for 20 years. Our foundations are strong with the business having 144 years’ experience between the team in the gas industry,” Shannon said. “We are members of the local community as well. John lived on a pineapple farm in Woombye as a boy. Jan grew up in Noosa as a teenager, even living on the edge of National Park for some time. Our children grew up here in Cooroy, it’s a family business. We value our community and value our customers and display that in how we operate.” John said 30 years seemed to have passed very quickly. “We have great satisfaction in our achievements,” he said. “Looking forward, we hope for a slower pace as we step into retirement and are so excited that we are keeping the family legacy alive, with our daughter Shannon taking the Hotgas helm.”

An anything but average burger joint in Noosa Junction is celebrating a year of providing the community with some of the most talked about food in town. Ze Pickle isn’t your typical restaurant, it’s a place you can go for a “unique” burger whilst enjoying the best in craft beers or a wine or cocktail in a vibrant atmosphere. Two work mates with young families, Jordan Straney and Jai Dobbie, opened Ze Pickle in Noosa a year ago after trying the burgers in Brisbane. Jordan said they couldn’t believe how good the burgers were and they knew then and there that the Sunshine Coast needed it’s own franchise. “Jai and I worked together in the same mine crew in Central Queensland and we just used to love Ze Pickle in Fortitude Valley and we would always talk about doing something other than working in the mines, and one day we thought let’s just do it,” he said. “We had a few teething issues when we first got up and going as most businesses do, but as of late we’ve been hearing great feedback about the food and service quality from the Noosa community. “Since being able to have people back in the shop after the Covid lockdown period, it’s just been getting busier and busier and it has really kicked us off for the rest of the year. “During Covid lockdown both myself and Jai had daughters two days apart and so we are both flat out with our young families.” Jordan said he still couldn’t find a better burger than Ze Pickle. “I can’t find a better product out there, it’s just fantastic, and that’s the main reason we wanted to get involved with it,” he said.

Ze Pickle’s one of a kind ‘STFU’ burger. “My favourite is the Double Chee-Ze with jalapenos. Everyone overlooks it because it’s simple, but it’s just really well done.” Impressing locals and tourists alike, the Noosa restaurant is split down the middle, where you can enter through a cold-room door into a private bar. “It’s got its own speakeasy style Prohibition bar with its own sound system as a late night spot,” Jordan said. “We’ve been really busy with private functions in that area with birthdays, engagements and parties.” To keep up to date with their latest specials visit www.facebook.com/zepicklenoosa and their website at www.zepickle.com.

Parkridge a success A disused sand mine which has been transformed into the stunning Parkridge Noosa mixed use development has taken out the prestigious 2020 Green Space Urban Award at the 60th annual Australian Institute of Horticulture awards. Developed by Peregian based Altum Property Group, Parkridge Noosa has proven to be a resounding success since its launch in late 2017 with the project recording over $175m in sales while also being recognized with a number of industry awards for its excellence in design and construction. Altum Property Group director Rob McCready said the Australian Institute of Horticulture award recognised the commitment of the developer and their consultants to create a harmonious environment between the mixed use project and the nearby Girraween Nature Reserve. “The feedback from the judging panel is that we won this award due to our commitment to excellence, innovation and exemplary planning and delivery of a seamless interface between natural vegetated areas and the Parkridge development,” he said. “Pathways were installed surrounding the development including plant pallet and landscape design to encourage the integration of wildlife from the reserve and provide a corridor for transition across the site while dedicated park and open landscaped areas are used by residents for recreation as well as habitat for wildlife.” Although the 5.44ha former sand mine is almost entirely enveloped by protected natural parkland, the site had been used as an illegal dump for more than two decades and as a result around 25,000 m3 of waste was either reused or recycled as part of the rehabilitation of the site. “The dumped waste was a combination of construction materials and demolished build-

Parkridge gardens ing waste from neighbouring developments, as well as general waste and green waste. We set up a process to separate the waste, process it on site and re-use where possible and recycle,” Rob said. “The green waste was sent through a tub grinder to create mulch, and we manufactured a topsoil from the fines for the project’s landscaping. To activate the soil, we created an organic, microbial brew and when combined with fish kelp extract created the perfect fertilizer which was hosed onto the

mulched landscaped areas. “The end result has been phenomenal with a stunning subtropical resort style development created in what was once an eyesore for the local council and community.” The Parkridge Noosa landscape team includes contractor Altum Landscaping, landscape architect Conlon Group, arborist and horticulturalist Arboractive and irrigation designer Waterworx.

THE ROOKIE SEVEN, 8.30pm

SUNDAY

MINISERIES: ROADKILL ABC, 8.40pm

There are times when it seems the words “politician” and “scandal” go hand in hand and it is certainly the case in this four-part series behind the doors of London’s Number 10. Hugh Laurie (pictured, House) is Peter Laurence, a politician with eyes on the top job. But revelations of a past aﬀair and a love-child locked up threaten to unravel his plans. Tonight, as journalist Charmian Pepper (Sarah Greene) investigates Peter’s links with an American think tank, his daughter Lily (Millie Brady) uncovers his aﬀair.

FRIDAY

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CHOCOLATE SBS, 8.30pm

A sweet treat for lovers of chocolate bars, boxes and biscuits everywhere, this informative series goes inside factories around the UK to uncover the secrets of the manufacturing process. Tonight’s second season premiere delves into the popularity of Aldi’s Moser Roth chocolate and heads back to 1935 to understand how the Milky Way brand came to represent two diﬀerent chocolate bars in the US and UK. It’s not all about delicious snacks though, the show also checks in on Rosie Dummer (pictured), a Lancashire chocolate and cake artist trying to sculpt a life-sized model of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and chef Seb Holmes, who experiments with insects in chocolate recipes.

TUESDAY

ADDICTED AUSTRALIA SBS, 8.35pm

This new four-part series isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions. It follows 10 Australians battling addiction as they move through a six-month treatment program. We watch as each person – who was brave and vulnerable enough to ask for help – navigates how to ﬁnd a better way for themselves and their families. It’s not always easy viewing, but it is important. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, it can happen to anyone. As Sarah )pictured) says, “I don’t look like a drug addict, so I’ve been told”. This series does a great job of asking us to break down the barriers and become better informed on the nuanced issues around addiction and recovery. A mustwatch.

They say we’ll have up to eight different careers in our working life, but that doesn’t make starting over easy. In The Rookie, Nathan Fillion (Castle) stars as John, who has been navigating the ups and downs as a trainee police officer in this action-packed crime comedy-drama. In tonight’s double-episode, John and Jessica’s (Sarah Shahi) relationship becomes more complicated after she shares some surprising news that makes him question his choices. Then, proving you’re never too old to start again, John’s birthday doesn’t quite go to plan when he has to babysit a crime scene at a law office. Nathan Fillion stars in The Rookie

NBRF Response To Calls Against Kin Kin Quarry In response to ‘Biosphere at Odds with Quarry’ in letters to Noosa Today Fri 23rd Oct, Noosa’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status recognises our Shire for its high values regarding the natural environment and our long-standing community commitment to maintain this balance through sustainable development. While this status provides global recognition, the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) has no legal jurisdiction. The role of the NBRF as managers of a charitable trust and non-profit organisation is to find, fund and deliver research and innovative projects to enhance our Noosa Biosphere Reserve and inform best practice management. The NBRF shares the community’s concerns regarding potential impacts of the Kin Kin Quarry that may not align with the values of UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme, and is pleased to see representatives of agencies with legislative authority like Noosa Council and the State Government engaging with community stakeholders and the operator to resolve the issues. NBRF welcomes the opportunity to be part of the conversation in finding a positive long-term solution. Rex Halverson, Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation

Stop Unwanted Calls It all started with a piece of string and 2 cocoa tins. Then the Pony Express and Carrier Pigeons followed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail and their machine to send messages in Morse Code around the Globe. Alexander Graham Bell then invented the telephone with a fixed home phone and outside Telephone Boxes. Now we have mobile phones linked to satellites so we can speak or send a text message with instant videos and photos around the World. Also face to face a video conversation to relatives and friends anywhere on the planet. Now with an International Broadband

Network Cable and a new 5g network we are promised a safer and more efficient network. Sound good? But with all this technology they can’t prevent some moron on the phone trying to get access to our private business and fleece us every day with threats of Tax Fraud, faults with our computer and immediate end to our NBN if we don’t dial 1. Its always at lunch or tea time depending on how you choose to have your meals. They must be watching as they never ring at more inappropriate times. Background noises there would be not at all acceptable. These calls are daily even though we registered to recieve only calls from registered charities. A polite verbal abuse doesnt deter them and sometimes they seem to welcome it. Perhaps they never had any schooling. Ernest Wright, Sunrise Beach

Freedom For All It’s really very sad to see so many mainly Chrisitian groups protesting religious freedom in Australia and specifically Noosa. Chritistian groups, Christian churches and Christian politicians fought long and hard to have these religious freedoms made part of our laws, many non Christian groups and atheists opposed having a set of laws like this and warned that they would have quite unintended consequences for many people. But the churches and christians demanded their rights and their freedoms, on the whole forgetting that these freedoms would extend to ALL religions. Now they are complaining because they got exactly what they wanted and exactly what they were warned would happen is happening. It just highlights the sad fact that those who have enjoyed such a position of great privilege in our society for so many many years now feel that equality is a form of persecution. While those of us who really do want freedom are still asking for freedom of religion and freedom from religion if that is what we so choose. Doug Steley Heyfield

Gympie detectives have launched a public appeal as part of an investigation into the discovery of human remains in Kybong last month. Investigations commenced on October 11 after a member of the public located the skeletal remains in bushland off Keefton Road. Detectives believe the remains belong to one person who may have died a considerable time ago. The person, whose gender is yet to be determined, had a metal implant in their leg. Investigators are seeking information to help identify the person and are appealing for anyone who may have information to come forward. Items of clothing including a shirt, pants and shoes were found during searches of the surrounding area. At this stage of the investigation, the cause of death remains unknown.

Items of clothing including a shirt, pants and shoes found during searches in the area. Anyone with information that may relate to the investigation is encouraged contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The number of lives lost on Queensland roads this year has now exceeded the total number of lives lost in 2019, following two fatal traffic crashes on the same night last weekend. Just after 9pm on Sunday 29 October, a 25-year-old Upper Coomera man died after a three car crash at Logan Village. Investigations suggest a grey Volkswagon Touareg was travelling south along Waterford Tamborine Road when it clipped a black Suzuki Swift travelling in the opposite direction near Hotz Road. The Volkswagon Touareg has then collided head-on with a blue Mitsubishi Lancer, driven by the 25-year-old man who died at the scene. The driver of the Volkswagon Touareg, a 24-year-old woman, was assessed for minor injuries at the scene along with the driver of the Suzuki Swift, a 51-yearold woman. In a separate unfortunate incident before 11pm, a 22-year-old man lost his life after his car crashed into a tree at Buderim. Initial investigations suggest a black BMW coupe was travelling east at speed along Maroochydore Road when it left the roadway and crashed into a tree. A 22-year-old Diddillibah man, who was the sole occupant of the coupe, died at the scene. Investigators of the two crashes are appealing for anyone who has dashcam footage to contact police.

On The Soapbox Rod Ritchie, Cara President

Hinterland needs a hand As president of the Cooroy Area Residents Association (CARA) and a resident for the past 20 years, I’ve witnessed, as we all have, Cooroy’s incredible growth spurt. This has its good and bad points. The town has a friendly vibe, with and good mix of retail and services, along with top cultural attractions. On the down side, road infrastructure is straining under the increased traffic, and the CBD has a parking problem. The nearby hinterland town of Pomona, and the hinterland villages of Cooran, Kin Kin and Boreen Point have seen lesser growth, but have developed into very livable places, each with their own character. But the hinterland is in trouble from over development, infrastructure which can’t handle the growth, and development applications which could sometimes be described as ambit claims.

Right now, 250 quarry trucks are operating on the Northern Loop of the Noosa Country Drive from Kin Kin to the Bruce Highway. This is six days a week, with 40-tonne loads, often travelling in convoy, and is causing roads to break up, dangerous driving conditions, and a serious reduction in amenity for local residents. As to Tourism Noosa advising visitors to enjoy a day in the country, this puts them in serious danger. For the locals, their once-quiet towns and villages have greatly diminished amenity. Recently, Council voted 6-1 to reject an application to remove a Myall Street house to make way for a Radiology Centre. The application was made, despite the property being protected by a Cultural and Heritage Overlay in the New Noosa Plan. Mayor Stewart, not a

supporter of the Noosa Plan when it was voted in, was the sole dissenter. The decision for refusal at the Ordinary Meeting followed a 4-3 vote to approve the removal three days earlier. Ex-councillor Jackson recently bemoaned the fact that councillors saw the point in rejecting the application, and was upset that they listened to the community after a social media campaign which saw councillors bombarded with emails from those who loved the town’s character buildings. A gated, Over 50s Resort ,adjacent to the Cooroy Golf Club, is also before council for consideration. This proposal would see 246 houses sitting on tiny blocks without backyards, and narrow roadways, on land which is currently zoned rural. The sweetener for the Golf Club includes benefits worth $4.5 m, in-

cluding a new club house and subscriptions guaranteed for 10 years. The drawback for the rest of the town is over-stretched infrastructure and greater traffic congestion. The debate over protection of the Shire’s heritage planning guidelines following the Cooroy application to remove the house, was a touchstone for many residents who see our old buildings disappearing one by one. As they say, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Fortunately, this council is shaping up, not as a regressive council as Ms Jackson suggested in her article, but as a progressive council, aware of its past achievements in creating a social, cultural and environmental fabric to our built environment that benefits residents and visitors alike. This is something to be applauded, not derided.

TOWARDS ZERO EMMISIONS

Want to reduce your business bottom line? Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) Inc’s research shows that businesses which invest in solar regularly report the economic benefits it delivers.However, we also know that small business has little time to do the homework on the best options for them. That’s why ZEN has collated case studies of a range of Noosa businesses which have invested in solar. The case studies, which will appear in Noosa Today regularly over the coming months, document the type of business, the system size, the payback period and the electricity savings for that business. Haymes Paint Shop Noosa Co-owner Mason Powell challenges any business in town to take the time and do the financial calculations. He says, “They would be crazy not to invest in solar. The decision to have solar installed is an easy decision to make financially. If in doubt, seek advice”. Haymes Paint Shop is an example of a commercial tenant approaching their landlord to get permission to install a solar system. The landlord did not pay for the installation, it was the long-term tenant. Mason says despite the fact that Haymes is a tenant, investing in solar still stacks up. Their electricity bill savings covers the finance repayments, meaning the solar system pays for itself.

Tax incentives for Noosa businesses to invest in solar and storage The Smart Energy Council highlights major tax incentives in the Federal Budget that will slash power bills for businesses and drive investment in solar, battery storage and electric vehicles. Temporary full expensing allows businesses with turnover less than $5 billion to deduct the full cost of depreciable assets acquired from 6 October 2020 and first used or installed by 30 June 2022. Instant Asset Write Off allows businesses with a turnover of up to $500 million to claim immediate 100% deduction of depreciable assets up to $150,000 by 30 December 2020. By installing solar and batteries, companies across Australia are saving money.

In this case, the solar system will be paid off before the current lease period of three years is complete, and they also chose a relocatable solar system, if they need to move location. Haymes Paint Shop is a specialist in paint and decorating, operating six days a week. Business owners Mason Powell and Phil Fortington are very renewables focused and wanted to do their bit for the environment while reducing their electricity spend. In 2018, they had their 20KW system installed. Pre-solar their electricity costs were $2,190 per quarter. After solar, they saw an 87 percent reduction. Their estimated payback is 2.9 years, for their investment of $23,796 to finance the solar system, which reduces the company’s greenhouse gas emissions by 24 tonnes of CO2-e per year - a great contribution to making Noosa a more liveable environment while saving money at the same time. In 2020, Haymes went one step further in reducing their electricity costs by investing in LED lighting throughout their store. See for yourself at https://www.zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au/case-studies

Haymes Paint Shop co-owner Mason Powell.

They can fully finance new solar and batteries and save money under these programs. The Smart Energy Council urged the Morrison Government to extend the Instant Asset Write Off because it helps businesses save money and is a critical program for the commercial solar and storage industry.

Noosa’s true Lion hearts By Jane Cullen I want to tell you a story about two Lions, not QLD footballers or the ones that roar but the ones that serve, support and care. Chris and Christine Pullen give generously of their time and energy, despite their Noosa business nearly going bankrupt due to COVID-19. I first moved to Noosa from Newcastle NSW following breast cancer in 2017. I was worn out, tired, and knew no one. I employed two men to paint my house and do odd jobs. Steve and Frank talked about the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club and seemed to love their volunteer community work. I had done my share of volunteer work, Pets as Therapy in Victoria and Meals on Wheels in NSW. The last thing I wanted to do was volunteer. I was burnt out and exhausted. For two years I resisted. One night I got a call from Bev, the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club Membership Officer, to attend an information night. Several members spoke about their Lions story and why they joined. Christine Pullen got up to speak. Her husband Chris had been a member of Lions for 29 years, joining in Altona Meadows Victoria in 1991. Both had a strong family history of volunteering. Christine joined the Lions in 1997 and shared that volunteering was a way of life for them. Christine and her husband Chris work 7 days a week managing a tourist resort in Noosa. Lots of people volunteer their time in the community, yet what struck me that night, was this couple volunteered for the Lions Club on Sunday afternoon, their only time off. Christine spoke with commitment and confidence. “Give 100% or don’t do it!” Yes, they had a choice ... watch TV, rest, go for a walk along the beautiful Noosa beach. “I want to help people less fortunate than I am” explained Christine. This lady genuinely cares. I began to cry. By the end of the night I joined the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club. I want to tell their story. “It’s what we do...” Chris and Christine married in 1974 and had two girls, Erin and Melinda. Chris has had a variety of jobs from plumber, contract driver, welder, kitchen installer, storeman, and furniture maker. His family were always involved in volunteer work. He was on school council from 1979 to 1991. He joined the Cubs at 6 years old, went onto the Scouts and became a leader in 1997. Chris received the Queens Award for 19 years’ service to the Scouts. In 2004, Chris earned the Rotary Award for Excellence in Community Leadership. In 2006 at the age of 54 Chris won the Citizen of the Year Award for Hobsons Bay Council. Christine had a long history of volunteering within her family too. She had worked in insurance, as a nanny and as a Brownie leader for 10 years in Victoria. Chris was presented with a Distinguished Service Award for 25-30 years of Scouts volunteering. “Community Service - it’s a way of life for us” Chris and Christine had wanted to own a

Christine and Chris Pullen have spent their lifetime volunteering. motel, a bed and breakfast or a caravan park for over 30 years. They were drawn to the social and communal appeal of interacting and working within the local community. With the children grown up, Chris and Christine decided they needed a change. Moving from Victoria to Noosa was a common dream for many southerners. They fell in love with Noosa and bought management rights to a resort at the end of 2009. Arriving in QLD on Sunday 14 February in 2010, they went to their first Lions club meeting on the Tuesday 16 February. Yes, within three days, they had joined the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club. Keen to be actively involved and committed to service are understatements. They managed to sell their family home and two investment properties in Victoria in one month to afford their new lifestyle choice. Working 7 days a week from 8-5pm, the phone ringing with inquires during the night were part and parcel of the deal. Christine had no management skills but knew they would be ok at she was organised, and Chris was handy. Their new life began. It didn’t take long for Chris to win the Melvin Jones Award (Lions founder) in 2010. This was the Lion’s Club highest award for service

to the community. Since joining, Chris has been president of Tewantin Noosa Lions Club in 2012 and 2015 and has been a board member. Christine has her own list of Lions accomplishments. For service to the Lions Club she was presented with the Mary Jamison Award in 2000. Christine has also been president, treasurer and a board member for the Altona Meadows Lions Club. “We are all in this together” COVID-19 Working for 10 years in their Noosa tourist business, Chris and Christine spent any spare time volunteering for the Lions. How they did this, is a miracle in itself yet they were always happily present at meetings, sharing, joining in, often being the first to put their name down for the next volunteering gig. They had two breaks in the last 5 years, seeing their grandchildren in 2019, and visiting Yeppoon with the Lions to support our famers. The world had never experienced a pandemic of such intensity with COVID 19 affecting every human and every country worldwide. In Australia, deaths, high numbers of people with the virus, second waves of infection, closure of state boarders, loss of economic security, inability to see and hug loved ones, loss of jobs and income, changes in the

way families live, lack of freedom to move and travel as we once did. In QLD, Chris and Christine’s income stopped overnight. All their eggs were in one basket, their resort. They lost 75% of their income, no bookings, no calls, nothing. Silence was not golden. Due to boarder closures, Easter bookings vanished. Reservations for the school holidays, Anzac Day and Labour day weekend, disappeared. The bank loans were frozen for 6 months. The boarders may open later in 2020. Christine went on job keeper, but Chris couldn’t as he was not an employee and didn’t have a job? He couldn’t access job seeker as he had a job ... yes you guessed it, classic catch 22. Victorians, customers from New Zealand many of whom had been coming to Noosa for 20 years were left disappointed and disheartened. A great deal of their clients were return visitors from New Zealand, NSW and Victoria. Chris’ mood began to change, slowly slipping into hopelessness as his livelihood eroded before his eyes. Chris wanted to just sit and stare at the TV, drink his booze cupboard dry. No one would blame him. Christine felt like she was in shock, not knowing what to do. “ ... our future was in someone else’s hands ... we didn’t drop the ball ... we couldn’t fix it!”

Christine Pullen volunteering with the Lions Club. of endurance. Their decision to adapt to their reality, reveal great resilience. In honesty, they have no other choice with the continual QLD boarder closers. The day to day pressures exist. They suffer from not being able to visit their grandchildren in Victoria, worry about losing their livelihood and only asset. Persistent thoughts about how to pay their bills or questioning what their future will hold, creates feelings of fear and anxiety. Still, they keep going, volunteering their time knowing that there are others who feel helpless and isolated. 2020 has not been a great year for all of us. ‘We are all in this together!’ so the slogan goes. Chris and Christine Pullen actually put that saying into action and give their time and energy to serve and make life a little easier. Christine is 65 and Chris is 68 years old. They have worked hard and volunteered freely their entire life. They continue to give back to the Tewantin Noosa community with dedication to serve and a genuine commitment to care for others. I admire them, value their integrity and am honoured to call them my friends. I know in one phone call they would be there to help. They are strong and courageous. They are true Lions.

Chris Pullen is filled with community spirit. Christine cried a lot as she had no control. Bills kept coming, Foxtel, phone bills, internet, insurance, public liability and car insurance. Little money came in whilst outgoing costs were unrelenting. This was their life and they were facing down bankruptcy. Chris and Christine talked a little but really there was nothing to say. It wasn’t their fault. Chris’ despair started to turn to anger. Speaking to their daughters, they decided they had to adapt, to think outside the box if they were to survive, mentally, physically and financially. On July 10, the 50km rule then 150km rule changed and the state of QLD opened to itself. By Monday the phone was ringing again, and bookings were taken from Ipswich and Toowoomba. Many regulars rang to offer their support. Queenslanders began to book Winter getaways. Christine’s plan was to show guests a great time, so hopefully one day they would return. During such a stressful time, Chris and Christine didn’t drop the volunteering ball. No, just the opposite. They rallied, offering to help those less fortunate, participating in Tewantin Noosa Lions Club meetings via Zoom. This period of great change definitely continues to challenge Chris and Christine. At times they appear to have reached their limits

Koala vaccination nearing roll out By Margaret Maccoll If you haven’t got a tree nothing else matters, Professor Peter Timms said of koalas whose declining populations from habitat loss are also the result of car strikes and dog attacks but it is the diseases they have that most interests the microbiologist. The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) professor has long been researching a vaccine for the two most prevalent and debilitating diseases of koalas - chlamydia and koala retrovirus (KoRV). His next steps involve registering the vaccines and rolling them out in wildlife hospitals in Queensland. Last Friday he updated guests at Noosa Parks Association Friday forum on the progress of his work. In Queensland 30-40 per cent and up to 70 per cent of koala populations have the chlamydia infection but not all individuals show signs of the disease, he said. It is a reproductive tract disease that causes cysts, pain, blockages and infertility. Those infected are generally found to be also infected with conjunctivitis that ranges from reddened eyes to blindness. Dr Timms and his researchers have developed four different types of vaccine. They are designed for koalas not yet infected, those with a high level of infection, ones infected but without the signs of disease and ones with the disease and symptomatic. The latter, aimed at removing the infection in an individual is the rarest type of vaccine. Koalas make it almost impossible for people to help them, Dr Timms said. In order to digest the toxic leaves of eucalyptus trees koalas have guts full of bacteria to do the digesting. Because they can digest the toxic eucalyptus leaves they can also digest antibiotics given to fight the disease. To treat koalas they are prescribed a longer than usual course of antibiotics to avoid them digesting it but the antibiotics kill the bacteria that they need to digest eucalyptus leaves.

Professor Peter Timms with a young koala. “Over 250 koalas have been vaccinated with USC-developed chlamydia vaccine,“ he said. “All vaccinated have produced an antibody response.“ Their data also shows the vaccine to be completely safe to use, he said. A trial of 30 koalas given a chlamydia vaccination did not go on to get the disease. While working on a chlamydia vaccine was challenging even more difficult was developing a vaccine for the koala retrovirus, complex viral disease in the same group of viruses as HIV. All Queensland koalas have KoRV, Dr Timms said. As KoRV exists in the cell of koalas the animals may not recognise KoRV as a foreign body and build antibodies against it.

However after being vaccinated koalas did produce antibodies to it that have eliminated the virus circulating in the body but not those within the cells, he said. Dr Timms said the next step for the researchers is to register the vaccines and vaccinate the many koalas that come into care in wildlife hospitals initially at Australia Zoo, RSPCA wildlife hospital and Moggill koala hospital. The costs of monitoring immunised koalas is beyond their scope but they hope to enlist the help of wildlife carers and rescuers to look out for the immunised koalas who will be fitted with colourful ear tags and to record their condition.

Disaster promotes strong partnerships As our community knows all too well, disaster can strike anytime, anywhere. Sunshine Coast Council and the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) is partnering with Aveo Peregian Springs Retirement Country Club to ensure they are prepared for extreme weather events. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said last year’s Peregian fire ember storm (9 September 2019) was a moment in time the community would always remember. Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with the QFES, has contacted aged care facilities and retirement villages to help them get disaster ready. “Council and QFES Officers visited Aveo Peregian Springs, which caters for active retirees, in late October last year to present a seminar to residents and have continued to work closely with the community’s Emergency Management Working Group,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Council provided three starter emergency kits to the working group to use as prizes and encourage as many members of their community as possible to start preparing.” The kits included a radio and torch, first aid kit, whistle, pliers, gloves, lantern, power bank, planning resources and other items to assist in an emergency event. It’s Get Ready Queensland Week and Sunshine Coast residents and businesses are encouraged to prepare their own kits ahead of the summer storm and bushfire season. “When it comes to disasters, it’s not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ and there’s no better time than now to get ready,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Council will continue to partner with emergency services, the aged care sector and retirement community residents to ensure our senior citizens are well-cared for during a disaster.” Aveo Peregian Springs Emergency Manage36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 November, 2020

and loud hailers.” In mid-2019 council partnered with the Sunshine Coast District Disaster Management Group to hold an Aged Care in Disaster Management Forum, which focused on assisting aged care providers to plan for disasters. Disaster preparedness sessions can be booked by contacting council, email SCC.DisasterManagement@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or phone (07) 5475 7272.

Private bid Since European settlement, hundreds of species have become extinct in Australia, including at least 50 bird and mammal, 4 frog and more than 60 plant species. According to the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment more than 300 species of native animals and 1000 species of native plants are listed endangered or vulnerable. The role of preserving wildlife habitat is become more vital and while speciespreserving national parks dot the shire a lot of this natural habitat is separated by privately owned properties. The Noosa Council-run Land for Wildlife program aims to build corridors for wildlife and strengthen their populations. “We currently have 320 LfW members in Noosa, who are actively managing 2700 hectares of wildlife habitat on their properties,” Council’s Conservation Partnerships Officer Dave Burrows said. “Forty-seven per cent of the shire’s landmass contains remnant native vegetation, and of that 34 per cent is on private property.” Mr Burrows said we have a great network of national parks, but they are separated by private properties. “In addition, some of the 60-plus different ecosystems found in Noosa Shire aren’t well protected in national parks, so private properties have a huge role to play in protecting these ecosystems as well as the animals that live in them, such as koalas.” What’s more, LFW carries a range of benefits for eco-minded landowners like Paul and Kathryn Lloyd, who relocated from Brisbane in 1996 and who signed up to LfW when it started up in 1998. “We looked at lots of different places, but we liked the nature aspect of (Noosa Shire),” Kathryn said. The pair initially planted blue quandongs, silky oaks and red cedars, then started on under-storey plants, and finally grasses and ferns, many of which grew naturally once shade had been established. Paul said part of that was planting butterfly attracting species and admitted as a former IT “suit” he didn’t know too much at first. (Now he can quote the Latin species names.) “The LfW website has a nursery feature, it brings information on plants and has plant, butterfly and bird photos - it’s for dummies (like me) but it’s great,” he said. “So this year I’m doing catbird plants “If I didn’t have that website I probably wouldn’t be as incentivised. I enjoy doing it, and to receive free native plants from LfW is a great thing.” “One year I got nest boxes. Now we’ve got pale-headed rosellas,” he said, with Kathryn adding “and an owl”. Mr Burrows said new members were always welcome and confirmed that benefits included free native plants, training in weed management and access to workshops and field days, which members can apply for. “Initially we do a property visit and talk about how to manage weeds and attract wildlife,” he said. “We provide free reference notes and a follow-up written property report. “Members can apply for native plants and onsite weed management training. “It’s a free service provided by Council, and a cost-effective way of delivering outcomes. People feel they can do their part be managing part of their property for nature conservation.” LfW works with people who have a minimum of one hectare of bushland, “but smaller properties can apply to Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) who operate an urban wildlife gardens program,” Mr Burrows said. “We also work with farming enterprises in preserving native vegetation on their land.” Visit www.lfwseq.org.au to learn more - and sign up.

Plunge into Surf Lakes As unlikely as it seems, Surf Lakes, near Yeppoon in central Queensland, looks set to become Queensland’s first wave park. Phil Jarratt reports With Noosa builder/developer Mark Bain’s proposal for a low-key wave pool on the North Shore thrown out by council - at least in its current form - and the Consolidated Properties/World Surf League proposal for a Kelly Slater Surf Ranch at Coolum seemingly stalled, Surf Lakes, six hours drive north of us and just west of a relatively surf-free coast, may defy the odds and become the state’s first commercially operated wave park. Known to skeptics as “the big coffee plunger”, Surf Lakes opened 18 months ago purely as a research and development facility, but it may now become the first wave park of the modern era to come up with a successful business model, with the pool being adapted for multiple leisure use with and without waves, and a three-tiered eco-friendly holiday park planned for the perimeter of the 15-hectare site, leased from a cattle property. But, apart from a system that can produce 2,000 waves an hour, spread over five different surfing areas on the lake, the main thing that Surf Lakes has going for it is its location. Having previously visited wave parks in California and Europe, when I visited this one last month I was knocked out by the superb panoramic vista over Darumbal country, with its volcanic plugs poking out of thick bushland. The coffee plunger itself is not a thing of great beauty, but it almost seems to complement the plugs that are its backdrop. At sunset it is magical. Certainly it runs rings around Kelly Slater’s California Surf Ranch, which features something that looks like a freight train pushing a wave down a pool in the middle of a dust bowl. It’s little more than eight years since surfer and mining engineer Aaron Travis started using a plunger to make ripples in a backyard pool, five years since he built a crowd-funded 1:25 scale model, four years since he built a 1:10 scale model on a friend’s farm, three years since turning the first sod at Yeppoon. Now the company has raised more than $22 million in investment, fielded enquiries from hundreds of potential licensees around the world and has a handful of actual commercial agreements in place that might see them replicating the Yeppoon model within the next year, and later building a scaled down model suitable for smaller urban sites. So, on the face of it, after less than a decade, Aaron Travis and his partners are about to make a killing, right? Well, maybe but not quite. The patented “5 Waves” technology that produces the 2,000 waves an hour - providing, say, 10 waves each for 200 surfers paying $50

each - is a monster with a mind of its own. At its first public outing last year, the 1400-tonne plunger snapped under the force of pushing out waves, and it took the Surf Lakes team months to rebuild and recover from the embarrassment. The short life of the Yeppoon facility has been quite a battle. “But it’s one that we’re winning,” says operations and media manager Wayne Dart, who has been camped out on the site for months with just his British bulldog, Pumpkin, for company. Like everyone on the Surf Lakes team, Dart is a true believer. He says the kinks in the system are being ironed out systematically, and with every trial session, the artificial waves

produced get more intricate and, well, more real. But what really excites him now is that everyone is united behind the objective of turning the R & D facility into a family-based resort, and have it making money rather than hemorrhaging it. Since this was not the original intent, it involves rebuilding and then disguising the wave-making machinery, landscaping the surrounds, putting in bars, cafes and other visitor facilities, and eventually creating a campground in the nearby bush and eco-cabins on higher ground beyond it. A lot of work, a lot of funding. But Surf Lakes has the backing of the en-

thusiastic local community along this pleasant coastal strip, including the council and the tourism authority, who see it as a low impact addition to the area’s tourism offering. “Everyone is pretty excited about what this could develop into,” says Dart. Meanwhile, closer to home, the Coolum Surf Ranch is waiting for a state government decision on its future as community hostility towards it grows. Last month a petition with 2000 signatures was presented to the government calling for it to be scrapped, and the Sunshine Coast Environment Council called it a “trojan horse for urban development”.

Help for young veterans Veteran’s Health Week turns attention to those who have served our country. In this year especially, with mental health issues and unemployment on the rise, continual support for young veterans is essential as they seek employment opportunities in the local Sunshine Coast area. This week, veteran Tadd Marturano and STEPS Manager Employment Services Liza Brock drew special attention to their new Young Veterans’ Support Program. The new initiative offers free employment support to young veterans aged 19-29 who have moved on from the Australian Defence Force and are seeking open market employment. “We understand the challenges of transitioning from the Australian Defence Force and this program seeks to fill that gap and create opportunities,” Ms Brock said. One of the key differences of the program is in Mr. Marturano’s presence and input, with his hands-on experience allowing for a uniquely empathetic approach. “With our program we walk the path with the veteran; through the Marturano stated. transitions period into employment from the early stages of job seeking, right and continued support thereafter,” Mr Marturano said. “Veterans civilian environment. and sometimes that can be hard to translate into a often speak a different language “Having someone resource as you transition back into a civilian community.” Mr Marturano further reiterated the unique dilemmas that veterans face when reintegrating into society, and the large role that employment has on its success. “When you leave service, you leave your tribe. You leave your identity. There are so many things as a veteran when you’re transitioning that you worry about. How am I going to support who understands and can translate the Defence experience, adds a valuable my family? How am I going to support myself? Where do I find the support I need? “Finding meaningful community engagement through employment can alleviate some of the stresses and provide you with a new support network.” They both have high aspirations for the program, hoping that through the program the stigma of asking for help can be minimised and that support services will become essential in every transitional process.

Veteran Tadd Marturano. “Veterans shouldn’t have to look around for help. We want to always make ourselves available, so that it is just the natural next step if you need someone to talk to” Ms Brock said. “I think this program possibilities of what is out there is a fantastic so you can be better equipped when you decide to leave. opportunity for our serving members.

The most important Mo Australia’s leading men’s health organisation, Movember, is reminding Aussies that in 2020, it will be the most important Mo you’ll ever grow. In what has been a tougher year than most, the charity is calling on Mo Bros to unite, farewell the follicles and shave down on October 30, to raise funds that will stop men dying too young. Now in its 17th year, the annual Mo-growing campaign encourages ‘Mo Bros’ and ‘Mo Sisters’ across the country, to rally in support of Movember’s cause areas; men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Movember’s APAC Country Director Rachel Carr said, “If there’s ever been a time to embrace Movember and shed those lockdown beards, it’s now, in 2020. It’s been an incredibly difficult year for men, which makes this year’s campaign our most important, yet.” “Research conducted by Movember shows us the effects of the pandemic on men’s mental health in particular, is concerning, and is still far from over. Job losses, relationship stresses and social isolation are taking a toll. We’ve been working hard to fast-track digital mental health resources, to address the need. “Every donation, no matter how small adds up. Signing up for Mo-season is also great way to stay connected within your own social circles, it’s been shown that supporting others can improve your own wellbeing.

“With the help of our community, Movember will continue funding and applying research to prevent our fathers, brothers, partners, sons and friends, from dying prematurely,” she said. Figures released earlier this year by Movember, as part of a global study carried out by the Social Research Centre found that over half of Aussie men (52 per cent) said no one asked how they’re coping during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Australia, calls to Lifeline increased by 25 per cent when physical distancing kicked in. Movember’s Global Director of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Brendan Maher said, “Not surprisingly, our research confirmed that the impact of COVID-19 has hit men pretty hard, in Australia and globally. The statistics show us men are anxious and uncertain about the future. “Many guys are isolated and disconnected from their usual social support networks - and the places where men usually go to have those shoulder-to-shoulder conversations with their mates, like going out for a drink or a bite to eat, watching or playing sport, or going to the gym, have been severely reduced. “We know men aren’t great at asking for, or seeking help at the best of times, so we need to do as much as we can to buffer some of the problems they’re facing, now. The programs Movember have delivered this year will make a meaningful impact going forward,” he said.

you to the Members of our already transitioned Vet community that may be lacking the support structures, we can also help them to find their own personal desired outcomes” Mr Marturano said. The program delivers experienced ex-service consultants who can help with resume writing, interview support, identifying viable

career pathways, job readiness training and continued support to maintain success in a new role. If you or someone you know could benefit from the STEPS Young Veterans’ Support Program, speak to one of our veteran support consultants today on 5453 8700 or email youngvets@stepsgroup.com.au.

Shed grants now open Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien is encouraging Men’s Sheds throughout the electorate to apply for funding as part of the newest round of the National Men’s Shed Development Programme (NDSP). Mr O’Brien said Round 21 of the Programme will specifically prioritise applications with a strong emphasis on health, wellbeing or safety, in acknowledgement of the impact of COVID-19 and the needs of Sheds in the recovery period and beyond. Projects procuring IT equipment and training to boost connectivity within the community will be prioritised. “Throughout Wide Bay, local Men’s and Community Sheds have become some of the

most important organisations in their area, where members make meaningful social connections, serve their community, and assist with practical measures to help other local organisations,” Mr O’Brien said. “This year with the COVID-19 pandemic, Sheds have been a focal point for their communities, and have demonstrated the mental and physical health benefits, and general wellbeing that community involvement can bring. “This funding through the Morrison Government can help our Sheds deliver programs with a strong health, wellbeing or safety focus and I urge all local Sheds to apply.” Applications for the current funding round close Friday 27 November.

The agri future is female Women look set to take on a bigger role in the agriculture industry, with more women than men now studying agriculture and environment related courses as the average age of the Australian farmer hits 61 years old, according to the latest ANZ Agri Insight report. Released on International Day of Rural Women, the report found women make up just 34 per cent of agriculture employees and are estimated to provide about one third of all onfarm income today, compared to a significant 84 per cent of off-farm income. However, with the number of women enrolled in agriculture, environmental and related tertiary courses increasing to 56 per cent, an additional 18,445 female graduates are expected to enter the workforce compared to 13,646 males.

ANZ Agri researcher Madeleine Swan said, “The role of women in the Australian agriculture has historically been ‘under the radar’ providing support, advice, labour and alternative income while rarely being recognised as a fundamental part of the Australian agriculture industry’s success story.“ “Many women have been isolated from the broader industry as ‘silent’ participants on farms, however that trend is slowly changing, as more women gain qualifications in agriculture and related disciplines, and the workforce shifts to an increased formal, paid participation from women. “With recent federal government changes to the funding for agriculture courses in Australia is has never been a better time for young women to get into the industry.“ Friday, 6 November, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 39

Two couples to showcase artworks Two couples have combined their artistic talents in a diverse exhibition in the old Commonwealth Bank space at Cooroy for the month of November. “What we want people to see is the joy in the handmade,“ the artists agreed. “ We will be exhibiting small and large scale paintings, beautiful ceramics, superb metal sculpture again small and large scale and exquisite mixed media work.” Kerry Sanders is one half of the very successful locally based Hartfire Design team whose love of nature she expresses in her handmade ceramics. Her works include sculpture, art for your garden, dinnerware and water features. Kerry has completed many commissions, exhibitions, festivals and is passionate about passing on her knowledge through teaching at her Hartfire Design studio in the Cooroy hinterland. Kerry’s husband David Sanders has a pas-

sion for ceramics and metal. Working in metal is second nature to David or Wolf as he prefers to be called and his work is in demand with a waiting list of commissions. Wolf recently showcased his amazing sculptural talent at Swell Contemporary sculpture festival on the Gold Coast. Crowds were amazed not only at the craftsmanship but the sheer scale of his commissioned work “Adam and Eve” that was more than two metres in height. David’s smaller scale work will be on show at the exhibition.Award winning artist Audrey Gunn works in a variety of media including ceramics, sculpture and paper. For the Pop Up Audrey will be exhibiting mixed media work which will showcase her contemporary use of silk embroidery creating life drawings and botanicals. Audrey has exhibited widely and completed commissions held in Australia, England and America.

Ian Gunn has participated in more than 50 exhibitions in Queensland and interstate. His paintings are held in private and public collections worldwide, working from his shared studio just 30 minutes from Cooroy. The subject matter for his small and large scale paintings in this exhibition are based on the landscape, fauna and flora that he loves. Opening night Friday 6th“Obviously it has been a very challenging year for everyone and I decided to create paintings taking inspiration from what was closest to me, our garden. Visitors will see simple still life paintings of flowers to more abstracted paintings which still have as there starting point botanicals and landscape,” he said. The exhibition will open Friday 6 November from 6-8pm at the Pop-Up Gallery, 32 Maple Street, Cooroy and run until 29 November.

No bang to end 2020 Sunshine Coast Council and event partners have made the difficult decision to cancel the New Year’s Eve Mooloolaba event. With community safety top of mind, the event will not be held this year. Notwithstanding the gradually easing COVID-19 restrictions, the annual New Year’s Eve event ordinarily attracts crowds of around 30,000 people along the Mooloolaba Esplanade and foreshore - so the public health implications of a large number of people congregating in one area needed to be a key consideration. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said 2020 had been a challenging year for the entire community and New Year’s Eve was traditionally, a great opportunity to reflect on the year gone by. “When we celebrated New Year’s Eve in Mooloolaba last year, nobody would have predicted what 2020 had in store for us all,” Mayor Jamieson said. “We’ve experienced many ups and downs this year, and it’s unfortunate to cancel the New Year’s Eve Mooloolaba event, but community safety must remain our highest priority. “Our council is encouraging everyone to enjoy a quieter, COVID Safe, New Year’s Eve this year, either at home with family and friends or at a restaurant or venue in your local community.” Division 4 Councillor Joe Natoli said Mooloolaba hospitality venues would still be open and welcoming in the New Year. “While we can’t celebrate New Year’s Eve in our usual Mooloolaba style this year, many of our wonderful restaurants and venues will still be open, so if you’re planning to head out on New Year’s Eve, I encourage you to book early and support our local businesses,” Cr Natoli said. Council is currently seeking advice from Queensland Health in relation to possible opportunities for dispersed fireworks displays at coastal locations, noting that community-run New Year’s Eve events in Caloundra and Coolum have also been cancelled. Further announcements will be made in coming weeks in this regard, dependent on Queensland Health advice.

Historical stories protected by new government grants Sunshine Coast Council’s latest round of Heritage Levy grants have been awarded with nine local organisations sharing in more than $43,000 to help with collection care, exhibitions and public programs. Fairview, often referred to as Pattemore House, is a state heritage listed property built in 1907 in North Maleny and is leased by a dedicated volunteer group, Friends of Pattemore House Inc. The group has received a $7421 grant for a storytelling project - From Forest to Farmhouse - Building Fairview. It is the story of the Pattemore brothers, who built Fairview using pit sawn White Beech, cut and dressed on the Maleny property, and how they, and other settlers in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, were able to convert a rainforest tree into a farmhouse. The story will be re-enacted using a pit saw and other early tools, with the final product a digital story for display in Fairview. Friends of Pattemore House Inc president Gail Denver said they were thrilled to receive the Heritage Levy Grant. “We’re going to work with a conservation architect and local filmmaker to re-enact and film a demonstration of pit sawing and timber hand planing, using tools authentic to the period,” Ms Denver said. “The film will become part of a permanent display at Fairview for our visitors to enjoy.” Heritage Levy Grants are an initiative funded by council’s Cultural Heritage Levy for not40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 November, 2020

Community Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said preserving and hopefully learning from our heritage through sharing our stories were key goals of the Heritage Levy.

“We have a network of heritage organisations across the Sunshine Coast that continue to work hard to understand, preserve and promote our history and create opportunities to share our region’s cultural heritage through new exhibits and creative public programs,” Cr Baberowski said.

“A huge thank you to our dedicated band of volunteers, who work in most of our local museums and community heritage organisations. They do a remarkable job of helping to preserve our Sunshine Coast heritage, both for current and future generations.”

Award-winning Comedian brings her show ‘Black Out’ One of the brightest stars to explode on the Australian comedy scene in recent years, Steph Tisdell is bringing the brightest up and coming Indigenous comedians in Queensland to the Sunshine Coast. Her award-winning show, ’Black Out’ will take place as part of the Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival. Don’t miss Steph and friends Ky Ambrums, Leon Filewood, Jalen Rassip at the deadliest show this year in The Brewery at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 13 November. A luminescent presence on stage, Steph’s warmth and wit has been a hit with audiences. Her solo shows sell out around the country and she’s frequently booked to play the biggest gigs on the most prestigious stages where she holds her own alongside the world’s best. As a result, Steph is fast becoming a ubiquitous presence on mainstream television. being a regular guest on ’The Project’ and ’Hughesy We Have A Problem’. An earlier interest in politics saw Steph first enrolling in law, and this sense of social justice matched with her formidable intelligence, enables her to deliver social insights that challenge cultural stereotypes in a way that is hilarious, relatable and importantly, as a proud Indigenous woman, powerful. Authentic, ebullient and endearing, she’s changing the world while taking the piss all at the same time. As a Ydinji woman, she loves to share her experiences and what her culture means to her, and hopes that her visibility will empower other Aboriginal artists to come forward and to showcase why they’re the funniest race in the world. Steph’s material also covers the spectrum of life as a twenty-something: dating, body issues, mental health. She revels in oddball observations (have you ever considered what animals would look like with eyebrows?) and ribald remarks. Authentic, relatable, hilarious with a wit as sparkly as the mischievous glint in her eyes,

Steph Tisdell is bringing her award-winning show, ‘Black Out’ to the Sunshine Coast. Steph is a joy to watch. She’s performed stand-up on Channel 10’s ’Stand Up for Christchurch Benefit’; ABC TV’s ’Tonightly with Tom Ballard’ and ’Comedy Up Late’, on Triple J, and is a regular on ABC radio guest programs. She co-hosted Triple J Breakfast for NAIDOC week 2019 with David Woodhead and has just wrapped filming her

supporting role in her first feature film “Love You Like That”. Her 2019 spot on ABC TV’s Oxfam Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala went viral and the following year she was invited to host the Gala, one of the festival’s highest status gigs. Steph was also a part of the ’Aboriginal

Comedy All Stars’ line-up, who sold out during their festival run at Edinburgh Fringe, before heading to London’s Soho Theatre. This is an 18+ event and tickets can be purchased through pre-sale only for $35 (+ booking fee) through OZTIX. Doors open 7pm with a seated show to comply with Covid-safe practices.

Pets all aboard the train Queensland’s famed Mary Valley Rattler steam train has gone out of its way to make access available to everyone, and is now extending the commitment further by introducing a new ‘Pets On Board’ service, allowing passengers to share the experience with their favourite fourlegged friend. The service launched with one of the Sunshine Coast’s most special dogs on board to celebrate the special day - Bear, an Australian Koolie. Bear is part of a team at the Detection Dogs for Conservation Centre at the University of the Sunshine Coast (which is supported by the International Fund for Animal Welfare), and is trained to detect live koalas through the scent of their fur. Bear’s obsessive enthusiasm has not always been appreciated. He was surrendered by his previous owners, whose small flat proved too confining for such an active dog, and he began destroying property. After relocating to USC, Bear has put his energy to positive use in the great outdoors, playing an important role during the 2019 bushfires to help locate koalas who were injured, or their habitats were destroyed, to allow them to be rescued, treated and rehabilitated. Bear brought along another detection dog, Maya, for the ride. Recognising that dogs are playing an increasingly important role in the lives of humans, the Rattler has configured a carriage with two segregated booths that can accommodate up to six people per booth with up to two pets per booth from the same family. “Pets are for many people totally part of the family and they would like to travel and share the experience with their favourite pets,” General Manager of the Mary Valley Rattler, Micheal Green said. “We have had many requests from potential passengers asking whether they can bring their dogs. Naturally we’ve allowed passengers with Guide Dogs to travel on the Rattler and every-

Earlier this month we launched an allaccess carriage that was specially designed to facilitate wheelchair passengers and that has attracted a flood of bookings. We believe our pet-friendly facilities will also encourage greater inclusion and participation amongst the community.” The Mary Valley Rattler operates a range of services across the week from Gympie Station to Amamoor in the Mary Valley. The three hour journeys capture the beauty and history of the rich agricultural - and former gold mining - region from the comfort of beautifully restored heritage carriages. The pricing for passengers is that same as the regular service and $10 per pet cost is applied. Pets can travel on board the Rattler on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday services subject to availability and terms and conditions apply.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Entrees.

A tinny taste of trendy Trevor Pepys reviews Gusto “Sir, I can assure you that the best restaurants in the world serve sardines this way. Ortiz sardines are Portugal’s finest, and if you ever dine out in Paris or New York, this is how they will be served.” This was more or less Trevor’s introduction to the new owner of Gusto’s on Gympie Terrace, Frenchman Tim Lepoutre, although he had saved him from a nasty slide on the wet tiles outside half an hour earlier. Now we were both looking at the offending object, a tin of Ortiz sardines with its lid curled back, sitting in the middle of a large white plate. To be fair, Tim delivered this lecture in impeccable Franglais and with a broad smile, but Trev is not used to being lectured by the people who serve him in restaurants, even when he is comprehensively in the wrong, as he was on this occasion. For a start, had he read the menu properly instead of foaming for food, he would have seen the words “140g tin” right after Ortiz sardines on the appetizers list, and would not have questioned the offering, which was delicious, but more about that later. On the other hand, Trev did know a little about Ortiz artisanal tinned fish, produced not in Portugal but along Spain’s Basque Coast on the Bay of Biscay, one of his old stomping grounds. But over many fine meals in San Sebastien, Bilbao, Santander and Oviedo, he had never been served sardines in a tin. Perhaps, like drinks served in jam jars, this was a hipster trend. He made a mental note to Google it when he got home, and this is what he found. Yes, from Paris to New York, and all outposts of cool in between, sardines are being served in tins. Lord help us, trendy tapas bars in places like Berkeley, California, with cute names like Bar Sardine, are - or were, pre-Covid - devoting themselves almost entirely to the art of open42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 November, 2020

ing a can and plonking it on a table at a 500 percent markup. As my friend TB, the corporate coffee tycoon, says: “There’s more money in it than cocaine!” So here at the Oviedo end of Gympie Terrace, Tim and wife Chloe have, since July, been transforming the revered (with good reason) and decades old Gusto into an oasis of cool. Longevity in restaurants is so rare that, like dogs, it should be measured with a multiplier of seven, which makes Gusto nearly 150, but the old girl, with the help of the new owners’ recent makeover, looks great, a simple but charming interior with a big deck facing the river. The biggish menu is also pleasingly simple, with no other concessions to hipster trends that Trev could spot, but to be on the safe side, the missus and I decided to spread ourselves liberally over the appetizers and entrees, beginning with the aforementioned Ortiz sardines ($18) and half a dozen freshly-shucked oysters ($4.50 each), big, juicy suckers that melted in the mouth. Helped along with some watermelon salsa and Trev’s trademark waving of the Tabasco bottle. Once I got over the fact that I would not be eating grilled sardines, the tinned Ortiz were delicious, spread on sourdough with onion salsa, and washed down with a couple of glasses of good and dry Italian Ruggeri prosecco ($11). The next round we paired with the equal cheapest bottle of wine on the list, a Torres de Casta rosé ($39), a Catalan drop which was just a little sweeter than Trev’s preferred Provencal version from just over the hill, but the price was right. And those of you who have been following Trev’s house wine campaign will know that $39 in a restaurant as good as Gusto is a steal.

Oysters and sardines. Back to the tucker. We shared a Moya Valley chicken terrine ($22), some crispy duck spring rolls ($22) and a twice-baked French onion soufflé ($23). The terrine, on charred ciabatta, was sensational. The spring rolls could have been a bit more shredded ducky, but were pretty good. Only the soufflé disappointed - in a word, bland. This was more than enough food for two people, so we declined dessert and raced home to rinse our palates with a decent

Provence light pink. The verdict: Tim’s lecture on world food trends aside, Trev was more than happy with this first taste of the new Gusto. Good fresh dishes served simply, with the odd touch of flair here and there. It’s not cheap, but it’s not outrageous either. And locals should note, there are lunch specials with a glass of wine included. Gusto Restaurant, 257 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. Phone 5449 7144.

Tennis four decades on Tewantin Tennis Club was formed in 1980 by a group of mainly mature-aged tennis players. Several of the founding members still enjoy playing at the current premises in McKinnon Drive where the club has 10 well-maintained synthetic grass courts and a clubhouse. Social tennis is played every morning and most afternoons. New members and visitors of any age are welcome. The club’s ‘Open Social Group’ has matches on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, beginning at 7am. Tennis has recently been recognised as being the best sport for both men and women to continue to enjoy into old age. As an example of this, the social group conducted a photo shoot of 11 of its 14 regular players who are currently members of the ‘Octogenarian Club’. The oldest player, Eric Griffin, is 89 years young! For further information, contact Jason Reynolds on 0412 831 770.

Chris Wright batting at Read Park on Saturday.

Good wins for TNT cricket teams in the latest round By Randall Woodley FIRST GRADE: On Saturday at Read Park the TNT team took on the Coolum Sharks in the first of two weekend matches. Winning the toss, the home captain decided to bat first on the excellent-looking wicket and a fast outfield, despite the rain during the week. The openers started well, with the evergreen Chris Wright scoring at a run-a-ball to be out for 45 with the score on 72 in the 17th over. The Coolum bowlers slowed the run rate down but the anchor-man, Alex Bennett (70), ensured that he and his partners would build a competitive score. After the 50 overs the scoreboard read 7/247, with other good contributions from Andrew Kratzmann (43) and Dom Taylor (23 not out). When Coolum came out to bat there was a gale-like northerly blowing and threatening skies. After only two runs being scored off the first three overs the pressure told on the young Coolum batsmen and great fielding by Sam Baker saw a runout. A few overs later another run-out saw the opposition on 2/8 off 7 overs. Captain Jake Dennien then quickly went to spin to try and rush through the overs to ensure that the 15 overs could be bowled to constitute a match. When lightning forced the players off the field in the 21st 48 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 November, 2020

over, Coolum was 6/31, giving the TNT boys a comprehensive win. Jake Dennien had taken 3/12 off his 7 overs and was backed up by offspinner Dom Taylor with 1/12 off 8. On Sunday the match was against Caloundra and TNT was able to include three Scorchers players in their line-up (Ben Gear, Dan Cummings and Nick Selman). Caloundra won the toss and batted first on a very flat pitch. The bowling and fielding of the TNT boys was first class and all the Caloundra batsmen found it hard to score runs against the opening duo of Scott Aufderheide and Tom Freshwater. The first wicket fell at eight, the second at 37 and the procession continued until the 44th over when their innings came to an abrupt halt on 113. The outstanding bowler of the day was Tom Freshwater with 5/30 off 9.4 overs with his first four wickets all bowled. Other wicket-takers were Aufderheide, Jake Dennien, Dom Taylor and Dan Cummings. TNT had 20 minutes to bat before lunch and after a first-over maiden the batsmen got into their work with 31 coming off the next three before Nick Selman was out, followed by Chris Wright just after lunch. With the loss of the two wickets for one run Caloundra was back in the game but 38 came off the next

four overs to effectively decide the result. The home side passed the target score in the 18th over with Dan Cummins 36 and Ben Gear 35 not out. This win gave the team two out of two for the weekend and its 11th victory in 14 limited-over matches so far this season. Next Saturday the team will face the rival Caboolture Snakes at their ground in the final round of one-day matches. THIRD GRADE: The team travelled south to Burpengary in a must-win game to keep its one-day finals hope alive. Captain Jason Toohey lost the toss (sixth in a row) and TNT was sent in on a soft deck. The start was steady with Adam Curry’s 30 helping the team to 2/50. But then the team suffered a middle-order collapse and slid to 5/56. A gritty partnership between Toohey (23) and Sam Baker (14) ensured the team got to a competitive total of 102, but well below of expectations. Burpengary started strongly, reaching 48 before Jason Toohey got the breakthrough. At drinks they were well on track at 3/68 but the TNT team stuck to its tasks with the slower bowlers taking advantage of the pitch conditions. Then, with the help of a couple of great run-outs, the TNT boys were able to wrap up their innings for 90. The best bowling figures

for TNT were those of Toohey (3/17 off 8), Nick Bennett (2/21 off 8) and Adam Curry (2/12 off 5). Harrison Lea, who was unlucky earlier, took the final wicket. This win puts the team in second spot and a win next week against Glasshouse at home will cement a spot in the one-day final. FIFTH GRADE: After having its Saturday match washed out, the team faced Caloundra on Sunday with a 10-man side. Losing the toss, TNT was sent in to bat on a wet but playable deck. The boys struggled with the bat from the beginning and halfway through the innings were 6/50. Then Blake O’Donnell (38 not out) and Wayne Moore (32 not out) set about resurrecting the innings and managed to build the score to a semi-respectful total of 148. But with one player short in the field it was always going to be an uphill battle. With wickets hard to come by, Caloundra managed to squeeze out the runs with only four down and four overs left. Not enough runs for TNT against an ordinary bowling attack summed up the game. The best bowling figures for TNT were those of Kent Officer (1/33), Bob McGhee (1/25), and Steve Hill (2/25). Next Saturday the team is at home against Maroochydore.

Greg plays to a new beat Having shared the stage with stars like Shirley Bassey, Michael Buble, Wayne Newton, K.D. Lang and Hugh Jackman, Greg Spence can lay claim to being one of Australia’s finest trumpet players. You may have seen him on Dancing With The Stars, Hey Hey It’s Saturday, the Logie Awards and Nine’s Carols by Candlelight. Greg Spence truly is trumpeting royalty. But golf? Well, that’s something entirely different. Greg, who now lives in a beachside apartment at Coolum after moving from Melbourne, has been a golfer for 35 years hitting the course only occasionally and, in his own words, playing ‘very crappy’ golf. When he arrived on the Sunshine Coast, he decided to take the game a little more seriously. He joined Peregian as a lifestyle member and started practicing. Greg, who teaches trumpet online, has never been afraid to take the path less trod. A right-hander all his life - at all things Greg decided he would, in future, play golf left-handed. He talks about ‘neuroplasticity’ and the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt. When we learn something new, he says, we rewire our brain to adapt to new circumstances. Do it often enough and it becomes automatic. Greg put that to the test. Without a coach or anyone to supervise his progress, he visited Peregian’s practice range daily, hitting hundreds of balls - all left-handed - and he gradually honed a new swing. “I’m absolutely certain my swing now is better than it was when I played right-handed,” he said. He entered the Sunshine Coast Spring Classic - a 72-hole tournament played across four of the Sunshine Coast’s finest courses - and it was with some trepidation he lined up on the first tee on the first day at Maroochy River. But he’d played 18 holes of golf every day for a fortnight leading up to the event, launched numerous balls at a screen he’d assembled on his balcony, and he was ready. Greg smashed his first drive down the middle of the fairway and, for the next four hours, showed just how much his brain had adapted. He returned a score of 40 Stableford points - equal with eventual Classic winner Richard Robinson and three more than any other competitor - and was the clear leader of B Grade as the players headed for the second day’s play at Twin Waters. “I didn’t get carried away with my performance at Maroochy River, though I certainly enjoyed playing well,” Greg said. “It’s all part of a six-month project. You have your good days and you have your bad days.” Greg found out about the bad days when he visited Twin Waters. He managed to accumulate only 20 Stableford points, with only one other player recording fewer. He went on to score 24 points at Twin Waters and 19 at Peregian. But Greg was not upset. “This project is an emotional roller-coaster,” he said. “But I believe in it and I’ll stick to it.” And he can always tell the doubters about the day the trumpeter led the field in the very first Sunshine Coast Spring Classic... while playing left-handed. Golf as it was traditionally played Clad in traditional garb and carrying bags that looked older than themselves, 22 golfers gathered at Cooroy in October to pay homage to the history of the game they love. Cooroy Golf Club hosted the Sunshine Coast Hickory Championship, attracting 18 visitors from Brisbane, who took on four locals for the title. They played on a specially designed composite course - shorter than Cooroy’s normal layout - as they competed for the Bobby Jones Trophy. The event was won by Greg Melifont, who also backed up with a prize for the best dressed player. Cooroy’s Gratham Leatherbarrow, who has been a hickory club devotee for most of his life,

Greg Spence reflects on his topsy-turvy efforts after the Sunshine Coast Spring Classic. said it was wonderful to see so many golfers playing the game as it was originally meant to be played. He invited anybody who would like to try hickory golf to turn up at Cooroy about noon on any Thursday, and they’ll be looked after. When you’re on a bad thing, stick to it Sometimes a lesson with a golf pro can do horrible things to your game. You’re concentrating on so many things that simply hitting the ball cleanly becomes an impossible challenge. It’s a familiar scenario to many of us, including Noosa member Bill McCarthy, who sought out teaching pro Jimmy Douris for help after months of poor scores and frustrating rounds. “Jimmy pointed out all the things I was doing wrong, and showed me how to correct them. But nothing happened,” he said. “I was still getting scores of 23 or 25 Stableford points and I told my mates, ‘this is it. I’m giving golf away’.” But he didn’t. Instead he persevered, remembered Douris’ words of advice, and his game slowly began to come together. Then, in last week’s Tuesday Club competition, everything clicked, and McCarthy shot the round of his life - 21 Stableford points on the front nine and a remarkable 27 on the back, for a fabulous total of 48 points. “I was a bit embarrassed by it, to be honest,” he said. “I heard people muttering things like ‘who’s that burglar?’ and ‘why aren’t you wearing a balaclava?’ But everyone’s entitled to one good round, aren’t they?” McCarthy lost six strokes from his handicap, but he’s not concerned. He’s now looking forward to getting back onto the course to show his mates his extraordinary round was no fluke. Scott’s back in action Adam Scott, sidelined for the past fortnight with Covid-19, has entered this week’s Houston Open - the final tournament before the US Masters at Augusta. Scott normally rests the week before the Masters, but has played only a handful of tournaments since the PGA Tour resumed, and desperately needs the hit-out.

He famously won the Masters in 2013, the first Australian to take the revered tournament. Smit set for second Sunday success Cooroy’s Andre Smit, the 22-handicapper who qualified for Noosa Springs’ rich Sunday Series final after recording last month’s best winning Stableford score, is at it again. On Sunday he recorded 42 points in the Universal Propertysponsored event to stake an early claim for November honours. The Sunday Series is conducted every weekend with prizes presented to the weekly winners. But every player - male and female - seeks to record the best Stableford score for the month. Those lucky golfers go into the December final, where the outstanding prize is free golf for a year at Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island. Local golfers - those living on the Sunshine Coast and Gympie - are able to play in the Sunday Series for just $79, which includes an electric cart, plus the competition fee. Coco’s amazing form continues Noosa Springs’ amazing 10-year-old, Coco Moore, scored her second competition win in a fortnight on Saturday when she shot a nett 69 to win the monthly medal. Coco, who has been swinging a golf club almost since she could walk, won the ladies Stableford event at Noosa Springs on 17 October with 41 points. Coco’s sister, the very promising 14-yearold Sunday Moore, finished third on Saturday with a nett 71. Sunday has a handicap of eight, while Coco will likely never play off 25 again. Noosa Springs golf coach Peter Heiniger described Sunday and Coco as ‘great kids’, who spend every spare moment after school practicing. “They enjoy golf and always seem to be having fun,” he said. “It’s wonderful that they’re succeeding.” Competition results NOOSA Tuesday, 27 October Men’s Tuesday Club, Stableford: A Grade Craig Lena 39 c/b, Karl Gottschalk 39 c/b, Rory Bourke 39, Ian Burrough 38 c/b; B Grade - Jim Scholes 41, Dan Harmer 39, Ken Reed 38 c/b,

The storms bring the fish What a week we have had on the coast. With the first heavy rainfalls of the season, the land and rivers have had a much needed flush out. As the rivers turn to a dark brown, this push of freshwater should see the bait, which was scattered far and wide, now become more concentrated in the lower estuary. Offshore the run-off should see the local reefs of Jew Shoal and Halls Reef fire up as prawns and bait fish make the crossing over the bar on the full moon spring tides. Many boats headed out Saturday morning before the northerly winds picked up and the closer reefs of Sunshine and Halls were the most popular. Small snapper, pearlies, tuskies and sweetlip were the fish of choice. There are also smaller mackerel around, with most being school mackerel. If after mackerel be sure to have a 3/0-5/0 pilchard floater on long mono leaders out the back. With leader, keep it around 30-40lb in a floater as the presentation is far better. Look at Black Magic tough trace and make sure you pre stretch your leaders to remove any memory.

Other boats did venture out wider midweek and caught bigger snapper and some stand out tuskies. The usual method in deeper water is to drop paternoster rigs. These two hook rigs come pre-tied and the Mustad big red rigs are perfect for this style of fishing, with three rigs per pack. Other species include tuna, cobia and smaller jewfish. In the deeper waters around the banks yellowtail kingfish were reported, as too were unstoppable amberjack, which took fish on the way up! One thing that has greatly improved is the surf fishing. Standout dart, around 50-60cm, have been caught on beach worm and pipi baits. Don’t forget - we stock live beach worms year round. There are also some good-sized whiting and bream in the mix and nothing beats using light 3-4kg to tackle these light target fish. For the ultimate light tackle surf rod, check out the Abu Garcia Rayrex Secret Squirrell. The Noosa River is fishing well, especially in the lower parts. Following the rains, the bait fish have been pushed down making it easier

Spinnerbaits are also claiming some great fish, so check out the various styles from Hotbite in store as well as the Atomic jerkbaits that suit this style of fishing. The surface bite may slow down with the influx of freshwater, so wait until we get a hotter day and try the weed edges and standing timber. Until then, be safe on the water and be sure to check your SIPS permits are in date. Remember that wild barramundi are now off limits and can’t be caught or targeted until 1 February 2021.

Land-based fishing will see fish holding around the river mouth rocks, and Weyba Bridge, Woods Bay rocks and the bridge around the Noosa Sound are a few great starting points. For those with boats try the drift along the north shore toward the mouth and check out the Frying Pan area. The spring tides peak this week coming and you can expect to see water pushing over sand banks usually left dry. Try using shallow diving jerkbaits and unweighted whole pilchard and hardy head baits on long mono leaders.

Juniors excel in chess Five juniors were among the 15 players involved in the Noosa Chess Club‘s recent Thursday night tournament. Each competitor had four games with 15 minutes on the clock and all the young players put up a strong showing against their more experienced opponents. After two rounds, the top five positions included three juniors with Brodie, Rubin and Patrick having made an impressive start to the event. Round 3 saw Rubin defeat Brodie in a close encounter to be in equal first position with a perfect score of 3/3. Patrick’s game ended in a draw and he was now in outright third with 2.5 points. The final round pitched young Rubin against the tournament’s hot favourite, the very solid and determined Ralph. The number one seed proved a little too strong for the gritty young lad and Ralph finished the tournament undefeated on 4/4 while Rubin and Brodie finished equal second on three points. Two more juniors finished in the top seven with Patrick and Noah both earning 2.5 points. The Noosa Chess Club meets several times each week and welcomes anyone from absolute beginners to experts and every standard of player in between. Coaching is also available.

USC sets wheels in motion for Matthew’s new career When Matthew McCurdy finished high school on Phillip Island 17 years ago, the competitive cyclist completed a biochemistry degree, achieved success in team-racing human-powered vehicles and worked for 10 years in bike shop sales and management. But he left behind one ambition. “I’d always loved maths and science and thought teaching would be the perfect avenue to embrace that passion, but I didn’t have the confidence to pursue it straight out of school,” he said. Mr McCurdy, 35, is now the new science and maths teacher at Warwick State High School, after recently graduating from USC and earning a University Medal for his excellent grade point average of 6.88 out of 7. He, his wife and two young children have embraced regional life in Warwick after moving from the Sunshine Coast where he completed his combined degree in Secondary Education and Science, majoring in Mathematics. “I enrolled at USC because I wanted to be able to look back on my life and be proud of my career and the people I helped,” said the former Landsborough resident. “I felt my life skills and maturity would set me up to come back to tertiary education as a mature-aged student and make the most of all of my opportunities.” Mr McCurdy said teaching was rewarding and challenging, and he particularly enjoyed

seeing students have “lightbulb moments” when he related the content to their own lives. “One of my best experiences so far was helping a boy go from an E to a B in science.” He said his USC degree had equipped him with a solid foundation of maths and science content, along with the skills to tailor learning to a range of classroom environments. “Completing Advanced Reading in Mathematics in a one-on-one setting with Dr Aaron Weigand was a highlight,” he said. “I also set up a maths tutoring group and supported Dr Margaret Marshman in a research project focused on engaging firstyear student with maths subjects. “Completing my final semester over Zoom (because of Covid-19 restrictions) was difficult but our small cohort of graduating teachers banded together and supported each other. “In my final year I enrolled in the Queensland Government’s Teacher Education Centre of Excellence program, which was supported by USC and guaranteed me a permanent position in a regional location on graduation.” Mr McCurdy, whose team won the Australian and International Pedal Prix in South Australia in 2011, plans to continue racing human-powered vehicles when opportunities arise. Most recently, his team won the 2019 Fraser Coast Technology Challenge charity race.

The Dolphins emerged victorious.

Club wins, sad farewells For the two rugby codes in Noosa, rugby union and rugby league, last weekend was definitely one to remember. It started on Saturday when Noosa’s Dolphins Rugby Union Club won the grand final, beating Caloundra, and on Sunday, for the Noosa Pirates, it was another big day: only on this occasion it was in the boardroom, where a very successful, positive and progressive annual report was tabled. On Saturday, at Dolphin Park before a good crowd of supporters from both clubs, the Dolphins and Caloundra, the Dolphins won a tough game that had it all: despite wet conditions the ball control was good. Noosa scored first and after 18 minutes led 3-0 but on the 31st it was 3-3. The game stayed tight with plenty of hard rucking and good sweeping runs from the backs. Caloundra scored 24 minutes into the second half, with Noosa then up 13-10. Then Noosa scored wide of the left post and what can be only be described as the kick of the game, a successful conversion by Jordi Meyhew, gave Noosa a 20-10 lead. However, Caloundra hit back with a quick try and a successful kick, putting the score at 20-17 with five to go. Caloundra pushed hard, getting to within five metres of Noosa’s line. A short break by Noosa gained them some 15 metres. Then all hell broke loose. With the scoreboard showing 42 minutes, the Noosa crowd, thinking the game was over (giving them a win), stormed the field. But the referee had not blown time, so the ground had to be cleared of hundreds of Noosa supporters. What followed was a very tense couple of minutes as Caloundra gained ground but finally the whistle, and the Noosa supporters were again on the field. And rightly so. It was Noosa’s day. In other finals, Caloundra won the Reserve grade 29-28, and the Noosa Colts won 27-10 against University, but the Noosa girls went down to 22-19 to Caboolture. Dolphins head coach Michael Phelan was all smiles: “They are also minor Premiers and now today they won the big one - (the) grand final.” Following the win, a very proud Noosa president Donald McKill spoke, not just of the team, but all its people. “Following on from the grand final win in the A Grade and the Colts, on behalf of the management committee, I would like to acknowledge the effort of all players, coaches and managers. Also, in particular, (I’d) like to thank our sponsors for their 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 November, 2020

It was a tough game won by the Dolphins. support and above all for staying with us during this difficult season. Well done and many thanks to all involved”. Sunday saw a good gathering of Pirates members for their annual general meeting and election of officers. President Greg Christensen welcomed all. After apologies and minutes of the last AGM were tabled and discussed, the president tabled his report and thanked all members for a successful year and in particular the sponsors who have continued their support through a hard year. He made particular mention of the successful amalgamation of the two clubs - the senior

and junior. “We are now one club and I thank all involved in this matter. This will only serve to make us stronger than ever. Regarding club management, all aspects have been endorsed by the state and also the protocol regarding the appointment of life members (as requested by members) all aspects have been addressed and where necessary the constitution has been rewritten and updated.” Speaking of life membership, the president acknowledged the outstanding contribution of Clair Robinson, who after 35 years of loyalty has retired. “We thank her sincerely and wish her well in the years ahead.”

The president acknowledged the work of the young members, both on and off the field. With the A Grade being unavailable because of Covid, the work of senior coach Brett Winkler in preparing the under-18s for life in the senior ranks has been ideal. With the present structure, the management has now become more transparent and the president and general manager will always be available to the members. “As I am stepping aside, I wish to again thank all who have helped down through the years; players supporters and sponsors Thanks for everything,” he concluded.

General Manager Brett Winkler’s AGM report was definitely a positive document. In his opening statement, he( in part) thanked the club and its members for allowing him the opportunity to lead the club’s operations as the its inaugural general manager. Further, he remarked: “The key determinant of any club ultimately comes down to the quality of its people”. Despite the unprecedented and unparallel efforts from the coronavirus pandemic, the club has turned around its financial performance quite dramatically in a single year. He went on to draw the attention to the significant number of great projects completed in 2020. To name just a few there was the lighting upgrading of both the Pirates’ playing fields and the Noosa Touch, a shade sail and seating upgrade at Cooroy, and a facility and business upgrade at the Tewantin clubhouse. But perhaps the most important of all has been the restructure of banking facilities “On a strategic front, we are advanced in our negotiations with council and government MPs to transform the Noosa District Sports Complex facility, where the Pirates club will lead and drive a much-anticipated, new community model that delivers a better outcome, not just in sport and recreation, but also health and wellness for our entire community.” As a result of this, the club will be able to “...give more back to the community. And, the council is fully aware of all aspects of the project.” Treasurer Joshua Harris’ report was very comprehensive and, as a result, few questions were raised. However, his closing statement was well-timed. “While the club is currently in a sound financial position and able to currently meet its current short-term commitments, it must be remembered that the current economic environment remains fragile and that reserves are in place as a necessary contingent for any potential economic challengers that may, and could, arise in the near future.” At the completion of the reports and general business, the following positions were announced: President Paul Dwyer, secretary Kristie Hart, treasurer Conrad Voss, vice president Greg Christensen, independent Ian Williams, junior delegate Tin Payne, and senior delegate Liam Anlezark. Also, it was announced that the head coach for the seniors for 2021 would be Brett Winkler. Working with him will be Mick Duffy as assistant coach and Tony Mcilroy, Division 2 coach. Training for the Pirates kicks off on Tuesday the 24th at the groin rock wall on Noosa’s Main Beach. We wish them well. With formalities over, a very comprehensive video regarding all aspects of the project was shown. On Saturday at Bargara Beach in Bundaberg, Noosa Surf Club boat crews competed in their first races since February. “The carnival, Round 1 of the Queensland Cup, saw the crews rowing in a heavy chop and strong winds,” said boat captain Anthony Fox. “And for some of our under-19 crew, girls aged 15, having their first row, it was tough. The two Reserve grade ladies crews went well, finishing first and second in their division. This is their second season together for the winners, so it could be good times ahead.” Boat sweep and coach Dave Tomba said: “I was very happy with the results, particularly for the young ones. (It was) their first carnival and a great experience: they gave it their best and we couldn’t ask for more.” Their next carnival will be at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast in two weeks: Round 2 of the QLD Cup. Points allocated for places will be for selection to represent the state. Other results at Bargara were: Open women’s division - Noosa 3rd; under-23 women’s - Noosa 2nd and 3rd, and in the masters Noosa finished in third place. For the Noosa club, last week was, for a lot of us veteran members, indeed a very sad occasion. It was then that we were informed that Australia’s number one female competitor, Lana Rogers, was leaving Noosa for greener pastures and happier times. This young lady always had time for a smile and a chat. A well done from her many admirers, after yet another big achievement, was always greeted with a big “thank you”. To Lana, our clubmate, your company has been our pleasure and your many successes, our pride. And as always, we are with you in spirit. Vaya con Dios young lady, Vaya con Dios.

Advocates for the Olympics in Sydney wanted the Games to coincide with the anticipated opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1930 - a non-Olympic year. The Games were held in Los Angeles in 1932 - the year the bridge was actually opened. The photograph is of the Australian team at what became known as the ‘LA Coliseum’. Pictures: COURTESY OF THE IAN JOBLING COLLECTION

Key figures in the early 19th century who advocated the Olympic Games to be held in Australia at some time were IOC Member Richard Coombes, and AAAU Secretary E.S. Marks.

A star athlete sparked it Australia has hosted the modern Olympic Games only twice in its 124-year history - in Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000 - but it has not been through lack of trying. The long history of the bids by Australian cities to host this multi-nation, multi-sport event is studded with attempts - some fanciful, some serious - and it is described here by Ian Jobling in the first of a series of articles. The rules and tradition of cities being awarded Olympic Games seven years in advance changed significantly when the IOC announced that Paris and Los Angeles would host the 1924 and 1928 Olympic Games, respectively. The proposal - an informal expression of interest for Brisbane to host the 2028 Games - has become, by contrast, a formal presentation through the AOC to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Edwin Flack was the sole Australian competitor at the inaugural ‘modern’ Olympics in Athens in 1896. Following his success in winning the 800 and 1500-metre track events, the editor of the Melbourne Argus speculated on 11 April 1896 that these ‘new’ Olympic Games “may even, in due course, offer themselves to the delighted gaze of Melbourne”. A decade later, Richard Coombes, who became the IOC member in Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) in 1906, expressed similar sentiments in a letter to Baron de Coubertin on 19 February of that year: “It is certainly hoped and expected that, in due course, the Olympic Games will be allotted to this part of the world”. Expressions of interest in Australia hosting the Games also emanated from the Commonwealth Government in the early 1900s. In an article in the Referee, the journalist stated that at the IOC Congress Lausanne in 1913 “the claims of Australasia for the 1916 Games were put forward but probably that series will now go to Germany”. Following a request to send a team to Stockholm in 1912 from the newly-formed Victorian and NSW Olympic Councils for financial assistance, Prime Minister Andrew Fisher was reported to have stated “... if the Commonwealth government were to take part... the team should be accompanied by an invitation from the Government to the controlling body 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 November, 2020

Edwin Flack’s times were not as accurate as it was impossible to run at full speed at both ends of the track. to hold the (1916) Games in Australia”. Fisher added that “if Sweden can manage it, surely the same can be done by Australia”. Although the government did not provide Olympic funds, Coombes pursued the possibility of hosting the Games with Fisher, suggesting that, while in Sweden, E.S. Marks should convey an invitation on behalf of the government. Coombes wrote to the PM: “Melbourne or Sydney would be admirably suited for the Games without any expense in the building of stadiums, as both cities have suitable playing grounds that would hold large crowds.” Cabinet decided on 17 May, 1912, ‘not to entertain the proposal’. A further proposal for 1916 came from a syndicate in Western Australia ‘to secure, if possible, the holding of the Sixth Olympiad in Perth at the time of the Trans-Australian Exposition’. The chairman of the exposition, W.B. Cox, with the unanimous backing of the general committee, argued that if Perth got the Olympic Games “it would give a good tone to sport in Australia”. Coombes, editor of The Referee at this time, was optimistic. It appears, however, the Perth syndicate had a limited knowledge of the Olympic movement and its ideals because

their proposed program included reference to ‘professional events’, reporting “Olympian Festival - full programme of athletic events, both amateur and professional, the former to be as far as possible under the conditions of the IOC”. The 1916 Olympics were already awarded to Berlin but there were suggestions that Australia attempt to secure the Games of 1920. Coombes answered critics who felt it was ‘too gigantic a concern for the country to undertake’ by stating: “In all classes of sport in Australasia is not in the rear, and huge concerns have been carried out here, therefore with the combined assistance of all branches, failure need not be entertained.” He added: “The value to the country of such a gathering can be understood, and the publicity gained by an influx of athletes and visitors from all parts of the globe would be the finest advertisement that Australasia could receive”. Unfortunately, Coombes could not attend the meeting of the IOC in Stockholm in 1912. He nominated E.S. Marks, honorary secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union of Australasia (AAUA), as his representative to try ‘to get the seventh Games allotted to Australia or New Zealand”. Those 1920 Games were awarded to

Antwerp, Belgium. The first advocates for Sydney to host the Olympics got it dreadfully wrong when a nonOlympic year was proposed. Dr J.S. Purdy, metropolitan officer of public health, addressed the Millions Club luncheon in 1921 and suggested that a huge exposition should be held in Sydney in 1930 to mark the completion of the Harbour Bridge, and to exhibit Sydney as a model city. Purdy was greeted with applause when he said: “Australia had won the right to have the Olympic Games held within the Commonwealth and no more ideal site or period could be chosen for the great sporting event than Sydney in 1930”. This proposal was interesting in several respects. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened officially in 1932, an Olympic Games year, so the ‘celebration’ would have been appropriate. In response to this proposal, IOC member Coombes added a pertinent reference to what eventually became the Commonwealth Games, “[there was] nothing to prevent the holding of a mammoth international meeting or, failing that, an Empire meeting in Sydney in 1930”. It was a prophetic statement - the inaugural British Empire Games was held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930. Sydney, in 1938, was the first Australian city to host these Games. The inaugural Winter Olympic Games were held in Chamonix, France in 1924. A curious proposal for Australia to host the Winter Olympics was put forward as part of the formal invitation to the IOC in 1948 for Melbourne to host the 1956 Summer Olympics. A journalist in The Age (24 January) suggested that “the Olympic winter sports, which are always held independently of the main Games, could be conducted at Mt Buffalo, Hotham or Koscuisko (sic)”. That proposal was unsuccessful but the bid in 1949 for Melbourne led to the first Olympic Games staged in the southern hemisphere, which will be the topic of next week’s article.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Kong is coming to town Now that the frivolity of the various elections and the Melbourne Cup has been and gone, let’s turn our attention to the serious business of the Christmas party season. The one event I will not be missing for anything is the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s Surfers Christmas Ball at the amazing Sunshine Beach Surf Club function room on Saturday, 12 December. Not only will the fabulous SandFlys be playing their surf tunes and (hopefully by then) dance beats, but special guest for the night will be the legendary Gary ‘Kong’ Elkerton. If you’ve lived under a rock all your life, and not one around which surf breaks, and have somehow missed the life and times of the mighty Kong, here’s a bit of background. Like Simon Anderson, another of those ‘best surfer never to have won a world title’ cases, the man they call Kong bounced back a few years after his retirement from the world tour and won three back-to-back World Masters titles, competing against those same peers who had thwarted his ambitions for more than a decade. While it wasn’t quite the same, it was a gong nonetheless, and the flamboyant Kong grabbed it with both hands. I was there at Lafitenia in France that autumn day in 1999 when he ran up the beach and kissed the sand, and I’ll never forget it. I was also there at the last Masters world titles two years ago in the Azores, when Gary didn’t do so well, but now long past his competitive days, he just congratulated his old mates and we sat down on the cliff and enjoyed a few beers and a few laughs. That’s exactly what we’ll be doing when Kong comes to the Surfers Ball next month. Gary spent his early years on his father’s prawn trawler working the central Queensland coast, and didn’t get much school or surf time until he was 13 and the family settled on the Sunshine Coast. The Elkertons were salt of the earth Australians who instilled in Gary the virtues of hard work and responsible behaviour. Unfortunately, it went in one ear and out the other, and by the time the chunky, powerful natural-footer came to the attention of the surfing media, he was a wild boy who crossed the line repeatedly, in and out of the water. When he won the 1982 Pro Junior at 17, he had already entered the folklore. Quiksilver hurriedly signed him to its team, but the early focus of its marketing of Kong was his dynamic free-surfing. He was the guy who was capable of anything and all they had to do was follow him around with a camera and capture the moments. It was no coincidence that Elko was front and centre in an infamous poster campaign under the slogan, “If you can’t rock and roll, don’t f...... come.” But Quiksilver and filmmaker Jack McCoy really captured the essence of Kong with the 1983 short video ‘Kong’s Island’. Sublimely silly, it documents Gary’s no-holds-barred approach to everything from eating a pie to charging a wave. There was, of course, more to Gary Elkerton than the Kong persona, and when he joined the pro tour in 1984 he started to prove it. He was a natural at Sunset Beach, taking off late on the biggest set waves and drawing long, powerful lines across the face. By 1986 he had become very serious about his pro career and his public image. When I referred to him in an article as ‘Kong’ - as everyone did - I received a verbal thrashing down the phone line. “Kong was yesterday”, he yelled at me. “Today I’m Gary and tomorrow I’m the next world champion”. And he so nearly was. He won two of three Hawaiian events to take the Triple Crown but narrowly lost the 1987 world title to Damien Hardman. It bit hard because Elkerton’s wins were explosive, and achieved in big, powerful waves, while Hardman was a grafter who quietly compiled the points. In 1989 he again took out the prestigious Triple Crown, and the following year was in contention for the world title but again finished a close second, this time to Tom Curren. The frustration was beginning to take its

Deep and committed. Kong at Sunset in the 1980s.

Kong is strong! Azores Islands, 2018. Picture: PHIL JARRATT toll, and Gary became a vocal and boisterous critic of the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) and the surfing establishment. But in 1993 he found himself near the top of the rankings again, coming into his favoured Hawaiian events. This surely had to be his year, but he lost by the slimmest of margins to the late Derek Ho. “This was my title”, he told Surfer magazine. “They just put a knife in my chest and opened it up”. Gary quit the tour two years later, although he accepted wildcard invitations and continued to delight his many fans with gutsy performances at big-wave haunts around the world. He became an enthusiastic tow-surfer and, after his trifecta of World Masters titles, actually relaxed a little about his place in history. It’s okay to call the gentle giant Kong now.

RENTALS REMAIN TIGHT IN WAKE OF COVID PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IN the wake of Covid-19, rental markets across Queensland have experienced shocks to demand and supply over the past six months. Nowhere was this more pronounced than in Noosa which was faced with a dropoff in holiday bookings when the pandemic struck. Yet the region has made a remarkable recovery in the past six months, recording tight rental results according to the latest vacancy data issued by the Real Estate institute of Queensland. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the pandemic had caused a shift for a lot of people in not only the way they want to live but where they want to live, and it seems South-East Queensland has been the biggest beneficiary these past three months.

three months (about 90,000), consumer confidence rising four consecutive months to 98.25 points and a steady inflow of state migration of almost 30,000 over the past six months, the rental sector plays a critical role in Queensland’s housing system. With the first three stages of the Palaszczuk Government’s CovidSafe Plan rolled out during the reporting period, this quarter’s rental vacancy data has been profoundly tighter across all major regions including popular tourism hot spots in particular. The Sunshine Coast saw a sharp dive as we entered spring, with a 1.5 per cent drop to 0.5 per cent. Noosa saw a similar result, with vacancies tightening by 1.8 per cent to 0.6 per cent, showing no side effects from Covid-19. Even inland across the hinterland region the average vacancy rate reflected a 1.7 per cent decrease to 0.4 per cent. Laguna Real Estate property manager

Kellie Drinnan said that in her 15 years she had never seen it like this. “We are having a busy season. “It’s a combination of local interest competing with that from Melbourne and Sydney. “People in Noosa are selling their properties and not being able to find a place so they are renting. “Melbourne and Sydney are selling, then buying sight unseen or renting here. There’s a wait list for that. “They are renting straight from the data base. “When a property goes up on the website, within an hour there are 10 applications even before the first viewings. “We are capping viewings and applications.’’ Kellie said she did not know how long the tight rental conditions would last. Due to the uncertainty of Covid, locals are sitting and renewing their leases. Melbourne and Sydney people are getting out of the cities.

HOW ABOUT A MEXICAN XMAS?

Overall, property owners are being reasonable with rent increases. Yet some properties are sitting on the market due to unrealistic expectations. “This time next year when people start breaking leases we will see the pricing level back out. “Most owners are happy to keep good tenants in and the rent much the same. “There are some responding according to supply and demand.’’ Much of the demand is being driven by people who cannot find anything to buy. However, that is expected to change in six to 12 months time when the bubble starts to flatten out. Holiday bookings are mainly from Brisbane and the Gold Coast for weekends, Kellie said. “Noosa is a hotspot at the minute. The ferry to the North Shore is solid every weekend. “Recent weekends have seen families booking out two or three units for a family holiday.

A WINNING DOUBLE The Richardson & Wrench Noosa team have a couple of good auctions shaping up this weekend. On Friday, November 6, Shane McCauley and Frank Milat are taking 11 La Mer, 37 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, to the market at midday. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment with private roof terrace sits right in the heart of the action. It overlooks the waves breaking from the national park past Little Cove and into the beach in one direction, and in the other direction all the way up to Forty Mile Beach towards Double Island Point. The rooftop entertaining area has internal access - Offering 238sq m including the rooftop terrace with internal access, the apartment has vaulted ceilings and skylights. On Saturday, Gillian McCauley is expecting a good result at 1 Da Vinci, Duke St, Sunshine Beach, when she takes the three-bedroom, two-plus bathroom, beachside apartment to auction at 11am with colleague Kym de Warren. Elegant and positioned perfectly in Sunshine Beach village, it is one of only two apartments in the complex and accommodates the whole floor. PRIVACY, FINISH ATTRACTS BIDDERS It was a case of the early bird catching the

worm at Noosaville last Saturday when Chris Miller and Jesse Stowers of Tom Offermann Real Estate took 33 Seacove Ct, to auction at 9am. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 890sq m attracted multiple registrations, due to its presentation as well as location at the end of a cul-de-sac and adjoining parkland. The large, family residence offered privacy, quality finish and location being at the end of a cul-de-sac adjoining parkland. Expansive gardens opened to openplan living spaces with lime-washed timber flooring and north-facing roofed terraces. There were bidders on the floor as well as on the phone with the property being sold for $1.41m to a Brisbane family. “It was a very good result,’’ Jesse said. “They appreciated the privacy and the finished product ... it had solar and a lot of nice features.’’ AMAZING RESPONSE Laguna Real Estate’s Warren Evans thought he would be in for a quieter day at 49 Hilton Esp, Tewantin, on Saturday. The first two open houses had attracted the most response Warren had seen in his 39-year career. Yet the number and quality of the cars parked in the street last week showed that interest was only continuing to build ahead of this Saturday’s auction at midday. First time offered to the market in 80

or so years, the elevated riverfront house offers potential to extend or further develop. Complete with three spacious bedrooms, relaxed lounge and sunroom, there are original VJ lining boards, high ceilings and front deck. The property has remained in the same family and been well maintained. As well as the quirkiness of the house and the furniture collected through the years, part of the marketing for the property contains glimpses of Warren’s 1960’s EH Holden station wagon parked out the front. “It wasn’t staged to fit in with the era’’ he maintained. “I had been relogated to driving that while my work car was being serviced.’’ That brought back memories for Warren of driving to the beach in the 1960s, a wet towel draped across the top of the passenger door of the family FJ Holden and the wind blowing through the open window to act as an early air-conditioner. That was a time of air vents and adjustable side porta windows for cooling. Continuing that theme, Warren is also marketing an art-deco property at 19 Werin St, Tewantin, for $695,000. A solid 1950s build, it offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and single lock-up garage on 678sq m. And, yes, the EH Holden features in the marketing. ●

“Anything they can get … houses mainly yet units are renting. “Queenslanders are discovering Queensland.’’ A RECORD RUN Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Peter TeWhata had an inspection the day before the first open house at 60 Orient Dve, Sunrise Beach, and ended up negotiating late into the Friday evening. The luxury three-bedroom, two-bathroom beachside house with pool was due to go to auction last Saturday, October 31, at 11am but Peter had it wrapped up about 10pm on that first Friday of the campaign. “The buyer had been actively looking for some time,’’ he said. “He loved the home and the extensive renovation. “To the east/south east the view is all the way from Sunshine Beach to Mooloolaba and Point Arkwright.’’ The Brisbane buyers were wanting to holiday and settled very quickly on that property that featured high ceilings and an over-sized pool. Peter believes it to be a record for the street. He also sold 19 Netherby Rise, Sunrise Beach, earlier this year at a record price of $4m. The Orient Dve sale highlights a strong run of sales Peter has been achieving. Included was full asking price of $4.201m for 20 Cooran Ct, Noosa Heads - a four-bedroom, two-bathroom 1980s classic on a 615sq m waterfront block. The red brick house went to a Brisbane buyer already with property in Noosa Sound and looking to upgrade to a house. There were two buyers in a multiple offer situation and it involved a long settlement, Peter said. “It was at the turning of the market in June-July due to Covid-19. “August turned into a record month.’’ Since then Peter has recorded three sales in Sunshine Beach - 6 Adams St, then 8 Adams St not long after. He then sold 56 Elanda St post auction with Julie Bengtsson. “It’s been a busy few months,’’ Peter said. “The market is so strong. “There are a lot of the buyers who are in the position to run their businesses from home.’’

Hand forged door handles of brass and stunning quartzite invite you into a foyer where you will be delighted by a cantilevered fishpond and its colourful inhabitants. The Zen mood is all pervasive. From the dark wide boards of the Tongue N Groove oak flooring, the minimal harmonious palette invites you to a home reminiscent of a gallery. The open airy interior seamlessly connects one with the everpresent and tranquil landscape. A nod to mid-century modern architecture with the judicious use of dark brick, horizontal lines, connected living spaces and bespoke lighting finishes beyond compare. Robyn Cosgrove rugs, Christopher Boots and Articolo lighting are a feature, whilst ceramic Japanese feature tiles and stunning quartzite used throughout, evokes peace and tranquility. Vaulted ceilings cool and further enhance to expose views of birds flying high up to the tip of Mount Cooroy. The kitchen, which has also been designed to serve as an entertaining bar, is outfitted with the expected highend functional appliances, all nestled in leathered Black Omega quartzite expansive counters and blackened oak cabinetry. The kitchen is fully supported by a fullsize scullery complete with cooking and dishwashing facilities, so hosts are able to entertain in streamlined style. The spectacular north-facing master retreat is serviced by an award-winning spacious master ensuite, featuring an elegant Victoria and Albert free-standing

bath overhung by a pink quartz Christopher Boots pendant. This bath, counter-levered out into the view ensures the most relaxing bath experience. Indulgences continue to the ‘his and her’ dressing rooms which have been thoughtfully outfitted for the discerning fashion conscious. The guest wing provides two king-size bedrooms serviced by a spa-like retreat featuring a private bathroom with a view to lose yourself in, a large four to six person steam room with an ‘open-to-the-garden’ shower. There is a separate powder room. All bathrooms feature Cottlesloe quartzite, aged brass Brodware tapware and Japanese ceramic feature tiles. But there is one problem- where to entertain and enjoy this amazing property. From the north-facing front veranda one can be contemplative and comfortably reclined on the outdoor lounge gazing over the hinterland countryside to Mount Tinbeerwah. However, the pool terrace with its direct connection with the landscape, pool and gardens, stunning sunsets, outdoor kitchen and dining facilities, speak of large, informal fun-filled occasions. Perhaps have it all by opening up all the full height stackers to roam leisurely throughout the whole house. Piralilly Estate is a generous and substantial domain that keeps on giving at every turn. From the tennis court hosting amazing views, the dressage ring, the private walking tracks taking you along the creek, across the pastures through the beautiful gardens from one beautiful water feature to the next. Stop in and visit your guests in the two-bedroom renovated guest cottage and partake in a drink overlooking a deep, dark tree -lined dam. Piralilly Estate truly encompasses the

very best of Noosa living. A 15-minute drive to the sparkling blue waters of Noosa Main Beach, maybe cycle, horse ride or walk throughout the hinterland Noosa Trail Network. Indulge the holistic way of life with proximity to some of the best farmers markets and local producers in South East Queensland or grow your own. “Mick Devlin’s Braeden Constructions, completed the build in 2019,” commented Tom Offermann Real Estate’s principal, Tom Offermann, and agent Cameron Urquhart, “and it’s easy to see why later that year Piralilly Estate won Queensland Master Builders House of the Year plus a number of other awards. “Piralilly Estate is a destination.

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