Goetz to the rescue By Margaret Maccoll

Neglected crab pots, discarded fishing lines and hooks and young river hoons are major bugbears for wildlife advocate Goetz Schweinfurth who believes education is key to curbing behaviour damaging to wildlife, but his calls keep falling on deaf ears. As the grandson of Baltic German botanist and African explorer Georg August Schweinfurth, Goetz felt destined to work with nature. The Peregian Beach wildlife advocate spends his days rescuing local wildlife, particularly seabirds, and delivering them to wildlife hospitals and carers for rehabilitation and he says the numbers of victims of human contact are increasing. Seabird rescuers Bridget and Paula Powers, known as the Twinnies are so overwhelmed at their Pelican and Seabird Rescue facility at Landsborough they are urging people to contact Goetz to rescue injured and sick seabirds around Noosa instead of taking them away from their critical rehabilitation work. The Twinners fear they will be further overwhelmed these Christmas holidays as crowds head to the beaches and waterways for holidays. The love of wildlife Goetz shares with the Twinnies has been a lifelong fascination for him. Born in Berlin Goetz moved to Australia with his family as a 10-year-old and immediately signed up for the Boy Scouts and Surf Lifesavers. Continued page 6

Schoolies ready By Abbey Cannan As thousands of school leavers pack their bags and prepare to party in Noosa, resorts across town are beefing up their security. Despite the State Government officially banning end of year celebrations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tourism Noosa has been advised to expect about 4000 school leavers to stay in the region from 21 to 28 November. Archers the Strata Professionals Partner, Grant Mifsud, said resort managers had reported of a flood of bookings for the designated Queensland Schoolies week, with school leavers ditching the Gold Coast for Noosa.

A Tourism Noosa spokesperson said this was higher than previous years due to interstate and international border closures. “The closure of formal activities at the Gold Coast also seems to have had an effect on where the students have chosen to go,“ the spokesperson said. Mr Mifsud said resort managers were employing security guards for the week and offering Red Frogs volunteers free accommodation to assist. “Red Frogs are working closely with resort managers, the Queensland Police Service, surf lifesaving officials and other services to ensure the safety of young people,” he said.

“The challenge for resort managers will also be to ensure COVID-safe planning requirements are met. “One resort which normally would be at less than 40 per cent capacity at that time of year is almost booked out by mostly teenagers from Brisbane who will be celebrating the end of school.” Schoolies support organisation Red Frogs spokesperson said they would have 150 Red Frogs volunteers in total for the whole Sunshine Coast and 100 in Noosa specifically. “There are no official events planned, so Red Frogs will be focusing our support in the hotels and accommodation by providing safe

walk homes, pancake cookups, and emotional support and assistance. School leavers can get assistance or request pancakes via the Red Frogs App or by calling the Red Frogs Hotline 24/7 during Schoolies Week on 1300 557 123.“ Tourism Noosa is working with key stakeholders to provide a platform so members can hear relevant information and prepare for this period. “Many Resort Managers have taken the initiative of being prepared, informing schoolies of their rules on bookings, registering with Red Frogs and employing a security service,“ a spokesperson said.

From Page 1 “We are inviting Tourism Noosa members to attend a Schoolies briefing session on Wednesday where they will hear from local agencies including Noosa Police, Red Frogs, Noosa Council, Hastings Street Association and us about preparations that are under way to manage this period in line with community expectations where possible, while making it a welcoming, safe and enjoyable time for school leavers. “The briefing aims to support our members and help them prepare for this period while maximising benefits for businesses by offering experiences and activities to school leavers.“ Mr Mifsud said some resorts raised their prices substantially to try to deter Schoolies, but their parents were prepared to pay up to four times the normal rate for that time of year. “Parents seem to be keen for their children to celebrate Schoolies in Noosa rather than the Gold Coast and they are undeterred by increased prices and having to pay a $1000 bond for each room,” he said. As well as resorts, teenagers are also expected to be staying at Airbnb short term rental properties in the Noosa region during Schoolies week. Mr Mifsud said one of the biggest priorities for school leavers at Schoolies was having their bond refunded after having to pay large deposits to cover for any potential damages. “Any damage to the room or contents during Schoolies Week will come out of the bond,” he said.

Schoolies support organisation Red Frogs expects up to 5000 teenagers will converge on the Sunshine Coast late November.

The editor’s desk A week is a long time in politics but hasn’t it been fascinating watching the US election play out. It makes our own recent election look comparatively civilised. It was neck and neck then it looked like civil war was on the threshold and then it was just time to play golf, and we can only guess at what will happen next. What can’t be ignored in overseas news is the continuing out of control incidence of Covid-19, though the news from drug company Pfizer that they have developed a vaccine proving 90 per cent effective couldn’t have come quickly enough. At the University of the Sunshine Coast a group of researchers have been looking at the impact of Covid-19 in different ways and sharing their findings in a series of webinars in their research unmasked series. Psychology lecturer Dr Jacob Keech is looking to the future and working out how to direct the stress people experienced through the pandemic into positive ways in order to help people in similar situations in the future. Stress is a mindset, he says. You have to get people to change the way they think about stress. Harnessing that energy into doing something positive is the aim of his research. Something to think about.

The show must go on As the storm was hitting Eumundi on Halloween 2020, The Civilised Sultan Production was preparing for it’s premier in the School of Arts Hall. A large cast of local actors, dancers and musicians were all set to go on stage when the weather turned wild and resulted in a total blackout. The wind was howling, the lightning was crashing and a huge tree had collapsed at the entrance of Memorial Drive so guests and cast members who had not arrived yet were either turned away or forced to find alternative routes. A frantic call out for a generator brought no good news. The guests settled into the darkness and the cast meeting outcome established that if the power did not return in a half hour, they would be forced to cancel the show. As the clock ticked and the reality of the situation settled in, the main character, The Sultan, announced to the audience that they would be rescheduling the show. A few seconds after, the front doors burst open, and the Generator Genie yelled down the hall, “We have a generator“. One of the musicians, Zane, determined as he was, had wandered down Memorial Drive and heard the buzz of a generator in a house. Dressed in his Arabian attire, he knocked on the door and spent the next few moments explaining our plight and convincing the man to let us borrow his generator. He agreed, leaving his own house in darkness, and returned with Zane to save the show. Belinda Scarcella said their wonderful sound and lighting team Skyfall Entertain-

The show went on to be a memorable and exciting event, a wonderful example of community spirit, and the perfect Halloween Special. “Due to popular demand, and to compensate the ticketholders who couldn’t make it, we are announcing a third and final show on Sunday 15 November 4pm.“

Aged care wins out over glossy black trees By Margaret Maccoll Changes proposed in Noosa Council this week for Blue Care’s aged care facility at Sunrise Beach will see the clearing of half of the glossy black cockatoo food trees earmarked for removal for the facility in its first stage of construction. Concerns continue to be raised over the environmental impact of Blue Care’s proposed retirement and aged care facility with the proposal on the Noosa Council agenda this month to address requests by the developer to approve design and staging changes. Blue Care seeks approval to amend its proposal to include six additional beds in its Residential Aged Care building and adapt its design for improved functionality and to improve infection control, an issue highlighted by Covid-19. It also seeks to adjust the staging of construction in order to build its Residential Aged Care facility in the first stage of

construction and push back construction of independent living accommodation to later stages. At Council’s Planning and Environment Committee meeting on Tuesday Cr Karen Finkel raised concerns expressed to her from residents about the removal from the site of food trees for the threatened glossy black cockatoos. Officers said there were management plans in place which include the propagation of glossy black food trees from parent trees in a ratio of eight to one within the Girraween estate for those removed as well as the translocation of top soil and vegetation. They said the first stage of the project would require clearing of about .8 hectare of land that contained about half the glossy black cockatoo feed trees earmarked for removal with the rest of the development to include clearing of 4.6 hectares of bushland. Cr Tom Wegener said there had been a lot

of knowledge sharing about black glossies in Noosa recently and people were becoming aware of what “fussy eaters“ they were. He said people would be “up in arms“ about this and ask how this could happen. The site was previously owned by Noosa Council and rezoned in 2006 for aged care use after consideration of the needs of the community.Blue Care contracted to purchase the land around 2007/08, with the contract being subject to gaining a development approval. Cr Brian Stockwell said in hindsight multiple objectives of the site could have been been considered. He said the ecosystem of 3000 hectares was like no other in the world apart from an area on Stradbroke Island. The glossy black cockatoos like it and there must be a reason for it, he said. The matter was moved to Council’s General Committee Meeting on Monday because of its significance to the community.

Where to on waste?

Noosa Tigers president Rod Purves, QLD Community Football Manager Barry Gibson, Head of AFL Queensland Trisha Squires.

Noosa Tigers step up to join QAFL The Noosa Tigers have made a huge move this week after AFL Queensland announced that the QAFL competition would expand to 11 teams in 2021, with the club joining the competition. After appearing in the last four Division 1 Hart Sport Cup Grand Finals and being crowned back to back premiers in 2019 and 2020, Noosa have positioned themselves extremely well to make a seamless transition into the State’s premier men’s competition. On hand at the Noosa foreshore on Tuesday for the announcement, the new Head of AFL Queensland, Trisha Squires, said the addition of two new clubs would only further strengthen the QAFL competition. “It’s fantastic that we have clubs aspiring to play at the highest possible level and Noosa are testament to that,” Ms Squires said. “Noosa have worked diligently for several years to develop a playing list capable of competing at the highest level. “Their promotion creates a clear male youth talent pathway at the northern end of the Sunshine Coast as well as opening up pathway opportunities for those living in the Fraser Coast and Wide Bay regions,” Ms Squires added. Noosa president, Rod Purves, said the club’s elevation to QAFL was the result of a lot of hard work by many over a sustained period. “We have been building towards this step for several years now and it’s incredibly rewarding for the hard work of so many volun-

teers at the club. “We have tremendous community support and this step up will further enhance our standing locally,” Mr Purves said. Having competed in the NEAFL competition since 2011, the Redland Bombers have joined forces with the Victoria Point Sharks to form the Redland-Victoria Point Sharks. “We certainly applaud both the Redland Bombers and the Victoria Point Sharks for coming together to ensure there is an opportunity for players in the Redland Coast region to play State League footy.” Ms. Squires said. “Mergers are never easy, even more so in such a short period of time, however both clubs have had a strong relationship in recent

times and have put their region first and we are extremely confident they will become a club the Redland Coast community embraces,” Ms Squires added. Redland-Victoria Point Sharks spokesman, Nic Aldridge said that with a population base of 160,000 both clubs were committed to providing a talent pathway for those living in the Redland Coast shire. “As clubs we have a role to play in our local community in providing opportunities for our aspiring talent and strong junior base, and this move certainly achieves that objective. “Our playing list is excited at the challenge and opportunity that playing in the QAFL presents,” Mr Aldridge said.

Waste is becoming an increasing issue for Noosa Council and could become increasingly expensive for ratepayers with options on the board but no solutions yet found. At its Services and Organisation Committee Meeting on Tuesday Councillors discussed the problems and next steps forward for the shire. Keeping a watch on what Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast Councils are proposing, putting together a strategy to identify waste requirements and available options and looking at both local and regional solutions were put forward as the next stage in the process. The problems identified are multilayered and include the limited life left in the Eumundi Road Landfill site and the possibility the State Government will stop contributing its $2 million annual levy on domestic waste with those costs being charged to ratepayers. In addition the Queensland Government proposes a 90 per cent reduction of all waste sent to landfill by 2050, the Federal Government is progressively restricting offshore processing of recyclable waste by 2025 and Noosa’s own Zero Emissions Strategy recognises that landfill has the most significant impact on current emissions. “2050 is on the horizon for all of us. We can’t put our heads in the sand and think it’s not going to happen,” Cr Joe Jurisevic said.Noosa Council participated in two feasibility studies to consider regional solutions with councils to the north and south. One study initiated by Unitywater investigated the potential for regional advanced waste treatment to improve the diversion of waste from landfill and the reuse of sewage bio solids in a partnership with Unitywater, Noosa Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council and Sunshine Coast Regional Council. A report on the study prepared consultant, Ramboll Australia Pty Ltd recommended two waste streams. They included the use of anaerobic digestion of organic waste (food and garden waste mixed with bio solids from Unitywater sewage treatment plants) or thermal destruction of combustible solid waste such as waste contained in the red lidded general waste bin using a moving grate incinerator while generating electricity to offset some of the costs and harness an energy resource. The report said the proposal had distinct advantages based on economies of scale but raised implementation challenges.A second study with the WBBROC Regional Councils to the north (Councils from Gympie to Bundaberg) did not produce any compelling options and WBBROC councils chose not to pursue regional advanced waste treatment. 12465038-HL42-20

Surfer beats odds By Abbey Cannan A surfer has thanked the paramedics who saved him after a surfing accident at a Noosa beach, after which he was told he would never walk again. Former patient Andrew Pink was reunited with the paramedics that assisted him after an incident that left him with a significant spinal cord injury on 27 January this year. Andrew suffered an ’incomplete’ C3/C4 cervical spinal cord injury and was advised by doctors that there was a very high possibility he would be a quadriplegic (paralysis of all four limbs). Paramedics Troy Jones, Gary Lewis, Richard Kirkpatrick, Jeffrey Bradfield and Emergency Medical Dispatcher, Hayley Tapia Vergara, immediately recognised the seriousness of his injuries that day. The QAS Triple Zero (000) caller can be heard saying to the dispatcher, “He stood up and then fell to the sand and rolled over pretty hard.“ “The man is in the water not breathing and they’re trying to bring him in and there’s two men in the water keeping him afloat.“ Advance Care Paramedic Gary Lewis said it was a miracle that Andrew was walking. That is exactly what Andrew did as he walked into the room at Noosa Heads Ambulance Station, having beaten all odds to thank the ambulance crews that treated him. “When I came out of the ocean, they were calm, it just made the whole situation calm and I just felt like I was in safe hands,“ Andrew said. “So to see them again now is a really good

Karmen Ellemor was killed in a traffic crash.

Crash call The family of a 47-year-old woman killed in a traffic crash south of Gympie last month have joined police in appealing for witnesses and motorists with dashcam footage. Just before 7pm on Sunday October 25, Karmen Ellemor exited her car on the southbound side of the Bruce Highway near Mary Valley Link Road and was struck by a truck shortly afterwards. Investigations have identified vehicles that have passed the Karmen’s white Subaru XV hatchback parked in the southbound lanes around the time of the incident. While these drivers are not involved in the crash, investigators believe they may have crucial information that could assist with understanding the circumstances of the crash. Senior Constable Tony Noble from Sunshine Coast Forensic Crash Unit has asked for anyone who was in the area between 6.30 and 7.30pm to contact police. “Officers are trying to gather a complete picture of the incident to complete our investigation, but most importantly, so Karmen’s family can gain an understanding of how she died.”

Going through rehab, having my three children was one of the main reasons I needed to get life back to normality,“Andrew’s son Rueben Pink said he got someone from the rocks to help his dad when he realised he was in trouble. “There was only one person, so it was lucky there was someone there to call for help,“ he said. Despite the unfortunate experience, Andrew said he would like to get back out into the ocean. His attitude to overcome the mental and physical challenges is a testament to his strength and character and today.

Goetz giving it his all From page 1 As a boy he was enthralled by insects and reptiles then as an adult he sought adventure and signed on with Foreign Affairs to become a Kiap or patrol officer in pre-independent Papua New Guinea. As a patrol officer with the Australian and British governments Goetz had wide-ranging authority usurping local authorities. He travelled from village to village in his duties, overseeing solutions to local issues. For 30 years Goetz worked in PNG, moving to consultancy after independence. His services to the community were recognised by the Queen who awarded him an Order of the British Empire (OBE). In addition to his duties Goetz sought to assist wildlife and since moving to Noosa he’s volunteered alongside other wildlife organisations across the region. He praised the work of the Twinnies for putting their heart and passion into helping wildlife, particularly the pelicans and seabirds. “What little they have they give it all,” he said. Goetz has noticed an increased number of injuries in seabirds since Covid-19 restrictions increased visitor numbers and identified several issues in the river causing problems for wildlife that he believes could be easily rectified through education. “The local fisherman are no problem. They respect the river,” he said. “Visitors put a line in and go and have a glass of wine. We had a pelican a couple of weeks ago that took the entire rod and line. Last Christmas we lost about 18 ducks. Kids go there with fishing lines. We had a little duckling hanging off a fishing rod.” Goetz said recreational boat users caused ongoing problems. “We had an incident of a jetski run into a pelican on purpose,” he said. “We call them

The Twinnies, Bridget and Paula Powers at their rehabilitation centre. river rats. They just run up and down the river and cause a lot of trouble to other people as well.” “Another one of the problems is crab traps. We have 1800 crab traps. By law no one can touch another persons crab traps. The crabs are dying in there. There’s no proper checks. It should be properly regulated. In Lake Weyba there are traps everywhere. I see pelicans try-

ing to pull fish out of them and catching their beaks.” Goetz said he spent a lot of time educating people and has called on the government to erect information signs similar to those in Noosa National Park along Noosa River to teach people about the wildlife in the region. He wants all government levels and users

of the river to come together for the benefit of wildlife. “A lot of people wouldn’t have a clue,” he said. “If we’re going to be serious about saving our wildlife we have to work together.” If people see a pelican or seabird injured or ill they can contact Goetz Schweinfurth on 0466 307 546 or phone 1300ANIMAL.

Geography students communicate with the BoM Noosa District State High School Year 12 Geography students were thrilled to hear from the Bureau of Meteorology Senior Meteorologist Diane Eadie last week. Ms Eadie responded to the students’ weather-related questions in great depth and detail. Year 12 student Lauren Hall asked why Australia is severely affected by La Ni?a and El Ni?o, with Ms Eadie explaining that this is due to the fact Australia is heavily influenced by sea surface temperatures. “Warmer water equates to more moisture in the atmosphere, which leads to a greater potential for rain,” Ms Eadie said. The students were also interested to learn how the BoM predicts the time and location of cyclones. “The presence of certain tropical waves (Madden-Julian Oscillation, Kelvin Waves,

Mixed Rossby-Gravity Waves) can have an effect on the monsoon. When the monsoon is active, there is an increased likelihood of tropical cyclone development,” Ms Eadie said. The students were relieved to learn that the BoM do not expect to see a bushfire season as severe as last season. “ ... Eastern Australia is less likely to see prolonged and widespread fire activity like we saw last season. That being said, even one bad day can have devastating impacts, and conditions remain dry in the west,” Ms Eadie said. Lauren Hall also asked whether a cyclone could be named in her honour. Ms Eadie said there are many requests from members of the public and it could take over 50 years before a name is allocated. Those who would like to have a name suggested are to submit a written request (including the pronunciation) of the name

to: Manager Tropical Cyclone and Extreme Weather, Bureau of Meteorology, GPO Box 1289, Melbourne, VIC, 3001. Ms Eadie said her favourite aspect of working at the BoM is that she watches the weather all day. “Meteorology is an evolving science, and we don’t have all the answers - that means I am constantly learning new things and being amazed by phenomenon that I haven’t seen before,” Ms Eadie said. Another important benefit of working at the BoM that Ms Eadie noted was that she is “ ... always the one who remembers to bring an umbrella when all of my friends forget and get caught in the rain.” The Year 12 Geography class found the exchange with the BoM to be fascinating and appreciated the time Ms Eadie took to answer their questions.

Nataley shining bright By Abbey Cannan A rising star at Sunshine Beach State High School has been announced as this year’s winner of the Wantima Award for the best academic performance by an Indigenous student. Nataley Evans was presented with a $250 sponsored cheque by Jared Black from Black & More, alongside local elder Les Muckan at a recent school ceremony. Managing director Tony Black said Black & More were so pleased to be involved in the Wantima Award. “This year’s recipient is a very deserving young lady and we are thrilled to be a part of this recognition for Best Academic Performance by an Indigenous Student at SBSH,” Mr Black said. Head Of Year 8 and Indigenous Co-ordinator Shanon Hill said the Wantima Award acknowledges the best academic performance by an Indigenous student in years 7-10 at SBSHS. “Nataley has achieved the highest academic result, in addition she is a very well-mannered and respected young lady who is recognised for her mature and caring approach. A gorgeous young lady who I believe will achieve her dreams.” Ms Hill said the award was created to recognise the school’s Indigenous student’s academic achievements. “The Aboriginal people called Noosa Head, Wantima, meaning rising up or climbing up,” she said. The award was presented by local elder Les Muckan to create a connection between the local Undumbi Tribe within the Kabi Kabi nation and the First Nation people at Sunshine Beach State High School. “I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the country on which I live and work,” Ms Hill said. “I acknowledge them not only as the Traditional Owners but as a part of the oldest, ongo-

We work together to teach ‘Cultural Revival become Cultural Survival’. “He is a very well respected Elder who gives

a lot of his time and wisdom to our school and community.” Mr Muckan said it was important to teach and highlight Indigenous culture in the education system. “The award is used to acknowledge, recognise and highlight our beliefs and our connection to country,” he said.

“Why not do it in places such as schools like this. The education of our beliefs and customs are able to get stronger. A lot of our history and cultural and spiritual knowledge is now gone into the wayside, so we need to start exercising it a lot more. “This young lass is a First Nation person in our country and that brings light on it.”

Anglican Bishop Jeremy Greaves said the campaign launched by the church in September to seek new visionary ideas for the 7,989sqm property had closed and there was a large volume of expressions of interest to be investigated. “There’s been a really broad lot of options,” he said. “Our preference is not to sell but to enter into another lease arrangement.” Bishop Greaves said expressions had flowed in from all around Australia especially from some experienced upmarket accommodation and restaurant business owners. The prime site only 150 metres from Hastings Street and with historical links to the pioneering days of Noosa tourism is currently occupied by a backpacker hostel, with a sub three year lease remaining to Ecolodge Pty Ltd, which operates affordable accommodation and a bar/bistro from its four on-site buildings. With the lease nearing an end it was an opportunity to reassess the return on the property, particularly since there had been a changeof zoning on the property from community to tourism, opening up the potential of it being used for more boutique accommodation within the constraints permitted under the building’s heritage listing. Owned by ACSQ since 1959 the property was taken to the market via an expressions of interest campaign run by Blake Goddard and Matt Barker of Knight Frank.

Iconic Halse Lodge at Noosa Heads. The original building was replaced in the 1920s with a larger building using some of the original materials. The heritage-listed building was then renamed Hillcrest and later renamed Halse Lodge. It is the last remaining timber accommodation building in Noosa and the

longest operating guest house in south east Queensland. Bishop Greaves said the next step in the process will be conducted in stages with a short-listing of expressions of interest then a final decision being made early next year.

Distillery bar closer to opening After reducing its size and hours of operation a bar attached to a distillery at 5 Taylor Court, Cooroy looks set to get the nod of approval by Noosa Council according to discussions at Tuesday’s Planning and Environment Committee Meeting on Tuesday. A resident of Cooroy Cr Tom Wegener said he was very excited about the new facility, considered more of a tasting area for the producer rather than a bar, that would be moving into the industrial area. Cr Wegener said industrial zones were heading more toward an entrepreneurial style where the businesses that made the product could sell the product and it made good sense for a producer of a spirit to provide tastings for consumers to judge the product. “The only way to test it is to drink it,“ he said. A council officer said Council supported a testing area on site and the applicant still needed to apply for a bar but it would be considered an ancillary use for the distillery. Cr Wegener said he envisaged industrial areas to be increasingly used by producers to market their goods including use by agricultural producers selling farming byproducts such as chutneys in the industrial zone.

Noosa retains A- rating in annual waterway report The Noosa River catchment has retained its A- quality rating in the annual Healthy Land and Water Report Card - a result welcomed by Council. The catchment also scored a 4.5-star waterway benefit rating, which reflects the high number of residents satisfied with their waterways, and the level of personal benefit they gain from them. “Noosa River scored a 78 per cent rating, compared to the 61 per cent for all of SEQ,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “It’s great to see our river and the connected creeks and estuaries are so dear to so

many of our residents, and that the catchment remains very healthy.” CEO of Healthy Land and Water, Julie McLellan, said the health of Noosa’s freshwater creeks and estuaries were maintained, with the catchment currently in excellent condition. “It’s good to see Noosa Council is continuing to invest in protecting and enhancing this much-loved community and environmental asset for future generations to enjoy,” she said. “Based on results from our community survey, extremely high numbers of residents

ULTIMATE SHOE

(83 per cent) are satisfied with the access and usability of their local waterways. “With 78% of residents recreating in or alongside their local waterway at least weekly, it is clear that Noosa residents love and value their waterways,” she said. The Healthy Land and Water Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program is regarded as one of the most comprehensive waterway monitoring programs in Australia. Healthy Land and Water is an independent organisation dedicated to improving and protecting South East Queensland’s environment.

Council’s Environmental Services Manager Craig Doolan said Council was pleased to support the Keep It In Kin Kin project in which Noosa and District Landcare and rural landholders work together to prevent erosion and sediment runoff to Lake Cootharaba. “Council is also pleased to support Noosa Integrated Catchment Association’s river clean-ups, shorebird surveys and water quality monitoring in the lower Noosa River, which help to reduce the impacts of litter and plastics on wildlife, and value-add to collection of baseline data about river health,” Mr Doolan said.

Residents have their say Public concern about new flight paths crossing Sunshine Coast skies has reached new heights, with Airservices Australia (ASA) “inundated” by concerned residents having their say on the new flight paths, their impacts, and ASA’s grossly inadequate 2019 community consultation. The public comment period for ASA’s second draft Terms of Reference (TOR) which will form the framework of the Post Implementation Review (PIR) for the current flight paths, closed last week. ASA granted a three-day extension for feedback lodgement due to website problems and prolonged power outages for many residents of the northern Sunshine Coast as a result of severe storms. “We hope the level of community response to the Terms of Reference and concerns raised on the review as a whole, will show ASA how essential it is that they take community feedback seriously and make good on their intimations of wanting to work with the community to find better solutions, to reduce the impacts on newly over flown northern Sunshine Coast communities,” local resident and spokesperson for community group Flight Path Forum, Vivien Griffin said.

CASA submission signing at Peregian Beach Community House. The TOR must provide a clear and effectively designed process which will fully implement the Aircraft Noise Ombudsman’s (ANO) recommendations. “There must be clear and genuine opportunities for community contributions to influence decisions, as distinct from opportunities for input and comment,” Ms Griffin said. “ASA must now be proactive in undertak-

ing the recommended review of the flight path designs and look for beneficial changes and improvements that are not constrained by the 2014 Environmental Impact Statement concepts.” Ms Griffin said other key issues with the TOR included an absence of a Community Engagement Plan (CEP), as well as severe scope limitations.

“ASA was responsible for the flight path and airspace change process, and for assessments of environmental impacts. The PIR must therefore address all the impacts of the changes to airspace and flight paths.” Ms Griffin also highlighted a lack of detail on specific matters to be addressed; inadequate data collection methodology; a weak PIR structure that will potentially compromise assessments and evaluations; and a lack of expressed commitment to providing best available information to the community. “FPF continues genuinely collaborating with ASA to achieve the best possible outcomes from the PIR, and to assist in rebuilding community trust. It is unfortunate that whilst ASA state their intent to rebuild that trust, the documents provided to date, do not adequately reflect that intent. “FPF’s carefully considered and comprehensive TOR submission was presented in the spirit of true collaboration to ensure ASA do not miss a highly valuable opportunity to engage with a fully informed, responsive, and proactive community, which shares ASA’s aim to improve its process and engagement with communities, affected by ASA’s decision-making, both now and into the future.”

NAIDOC Week celebrated along the Sunshine Coast

Traditional performer Lyndon Davis. “Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan supports social and economic opportunities for the Traditional Custodians, the Kabi Kabi peoples and Jinibara peoples and the broader First Nations community on the Sunshine Coast.” “This Plan is part of our ongoing commitment to working in partnership with and respecting, valuing and supporting the culture, aspirations and opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.” Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said he was glad to see a variety of online workshops and library resources available for the community to enjoy. “It’s important for people to come together and respect the past while uniting together for the future,” Cr Law said. “Namba NAIDOC’s family event on Friday 13 November at Nambour Showgrounds is also a great opportunity for families to participate.”

An intimate flag-raising ceremony was held at Nambour to commemorate NAIDOC Week (8 to 15 November) and its important theme, Always was, Always will be. Sunshine Coast Council paid tribute to local Elders past and present during the ceremony. Uncle Tais K’Reala Randanpi, Family Tribal Elder and Ambassador, carried out a Greetings to Country and traditional performers Gubbi Gubbi Dance and Zom Kolbe Kolbe (Torres Strait Islands) acknowledged the Traditional Custodians of the Sunshine Coast the Kabi Kabi peoples and Jinibara peoples. It comes as NAIDOC Week festivities were postponed in July due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to social distancing requirements, the flag-raising event was live streamed on council’s Facebook page to share the experience with our community. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said it was important for all residents to recognise and understand the rich history and continuing contribution to our community of our First Nations peoples. “This year’s NAIDOC Week is about recognising that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for more than 65,000 years and their connection with country is deeply enduring,” Mayor Jamieson said. “I’m very pleased to see this year’s festivities are now able to take place and encourage everyone to pause and reflect on NAIDOC Week’s significance.

Kin Kin support Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has called for an urgent independent assessment to be completed on the Pomona Kin Kin Road. Cr Stewart has flagged the idea in a letter to Transport Minister Mark Bailey and the Director-General of Transport and Main Roads. “We need this road to become a priority for the newly elected government,” she said. “The independent expert review would include a detailed report on the safety and suitability of the Pomona Kin Kin Road and provide a risk analysis and subsequent recommendations.” Cr Stewart has called on the Minister and Director General that the report be conducted as an immediate priority, given the safety issues associated with the road. Hinterland residents told council they fear the worst with up to 69 quarry trucks driving in and out of the quarry everyday. That means 138 in total every day.

In her letter, Cr Stewart said the community is rightly outraged with many suffering mentally because of the toll the trucks are taking on the community. Cr Stewart told the Minister, a number of residents speak of feeling ‘trapped’, being too frightened to leave their homes and drive along the road because of the narrowness and unsuitability of the road to handle both trucks and cars at the same time. “We are strongly advocating for the community and will continue to support residents where we can, so I hope by writing to the relevant Minister and department, we see the appropriate response from the State Government,” Cr Stewart said. Cr Stewart has asked Noosa MP Sandy Bolton to send a letter of support to the Minister and relevant state department. Council plans to engage a barrister to scrutinise the Quarry Management Plan approval, has issued nearly 27,000 in fines for alleged

breaches to the QMP and staff are continually monitoring traffic movements from the quarry. “This council has been very active in listening to the residents and taking action where appropriate,” Cr Stewart said. Cr Stewart said Council is unable to make any changes to the approvals or the haulage route without Cordwells Resources making an application to change it. Council has facilitated several roundtable discussions to provide a forum for all parties, including the quarry operator to address issues and have positive talks about possible solutions. “The roundtable talks have been effective, but upgrades to the road and safety improvements are the responsibility of the State Government, so we need them to be part of future discussions,” Cr Stewart said. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart.

More safe places for women and children on coast Additional safe places for women and children escaping domestic and family violence will be available on the Sunshine Coast following a $2.6 million Morrison Government Safe Places grant announced for Coast2Bay Housing Group. Assistant Minister for Community Housing, Homelessness and Community Services, Luke Howarth joined Sunshine Coast Federal MPs Ted O’Brien and Andrew Wallace to congratulate Coast2Bay. Assistant Minister Howarth said the funding would make a very real difference to Queensland women and children. “The grant will allow Coast2Bay to provide

additional safe places for around 48 women and children each year experiencing violence,” Assistant Minister Howarth said. “Through the Safe Places grant, the Government is helping ensure emergency accommodation is available and delivered to vulnerable women and children.” Federal member for Fairfax, Ted O’Brien, said keeping women and children safe was a priority. “There are women and children living in fear in their own homes,” Mr O’Brien said. “When women make the very difficult decision to leave their home it is vital that they

have somewhere safe to go.” Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace also welcomed the grant funding. “Last year I hosted the Assistant Minister for a Homelessness roundtable and we heard about the demand for emergency accommodation across the Sunshine Coast. Coast2Bay is helping fill this need and support vulnerable women and children,” Mr Wallace said. “Access to emergency accommodation is one of the most important factors in assisting women and children to escape violence within the home, and I am pleased to see that more options are going to be available to women on

the Coast thanks to this Federal Government.” The investment will be used by Coast2Bay to purchase and construct eight new dwellings with a mix of three and two bedroom units across the Sunshine Coast. The $60 million Safe Places Emergency Accommodation program is part of the $78 million funding package which includes $18 million to continue the Keeping Women Safe in their Homes initiative. This funding forms part of the $340 million Australian Government investment in the Fourth Action Plan of the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-2022.

Right Royal send off By Patsy Fayne Davina and Gary Rossiter have been volunteering at Parkyn’s Hut Heritage and Tourist Information Centre for more than ten years. The Hut, as we call it, is on the corner of the main square in Tewantin beside the Royal Mail. Thanks to Chris, skipper of the Noosa Queen donating his time and his boat for the evening, the family of Hut volunteers gathered on board to party and pay tribute to the enormous amount of work Davina and Gary have done for Parkyn’s Hut and for tourism in Noosa generally. “We didn’t have much idea about the Tewantin Heritage and Historical Society, thought Parkyn’s Hut was just another visitors centre,“ Davis said. “President at the time was ex Councillor, June Colley and it wasn’t too long before June coerced Gary to take on the role of roster clerk.” These two have been the backbone of ad-

ministration at Parkyn’s Hut, maintaining the weekly roster, training new volunteers, liaising with Council and organising our annual celebrations. We can add to this list the many and varied familiarisation visits Davina has arranged to keep the volunteers up to date with the multitude of tourist attractions available here in our beautiful Noosa region. Davina and Gary are now seeking some time to themselves, time to tick off their travel list and to really enjoy this beautiful region we all call home. We extend a very big thank you to Davina and Gary and wish them well. Noosa tourism should be forever grateful to the wonderful group who volunteer at the Hut - 7 days a week, spreading the ‘Welcome to Noosa ‘ message. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer at Parkyn’s Hut should drop in for a friendly chat or call Michael 0401 609 133.

Volunteers farewell Davina and Gary Rossiter with a trip on the Noosa Queen.

Public warned about unlicensed fencer Matthew Rixon Queensland’s building industry watchdog has issued a Public Warning about Matthew Geoffrey Rixon, who is alleged to have committed a number of building-related offences in Queensland. The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) has warned consumers, contractors and suppliers to be cautious in their dealings with Mr Rixon, who is believed to be operating in the Wide BayBurnett area, particularly Maryborough. He has also been active in Bundaberg and Hervey Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. QBCC Commissioner, Brett Bassett, said

Mr Rixon does not hold a QBCC licence and is not able to carry out, advertise for, or enter into contracts to carry out, building work in Queensland valued over $3,300. “We warn anyone dealing with Mr Rixon or his businesses to use extreme caution and seek legal advice before making any payments, to protect their interests,” Mr Bassett said. “He is alleged to have taken deposits exceeding the maximum allowed under the QBCC Act. “The QBCC is aware of several complaints of unlawful conduct by Mr Rixon, and that complaints have also been made to the Of-

fice of Fair Trading and the Queensland Police,” Mr Bassett said. Mr Rixon was also the subject of a Public Warning released last week by the Queensland Office of Fair Trading and the Queensland Police Service. He is known to use aliases, including Matthew Douglas and Matt Douglas, and has used names that are similar to reputable companies to try and attract unsuspecting consumers. Mr Bassett said QBCC compliance activities now included new technology targetting unlawful advertising on social media platforms to identify unlicensed individuals try-

ing to work illegally. “Anyone advertising to perform building work, including on digital platforms, must include their QBCC licence number and the name of their business, otherwise we’re coming after them.” The QBCC strongly encourages consumers to always use the free licence check on the QBCC website to confirm if a person is appropriately licensed. The QBCC website also offers a free Find a Local Contractor search to help consumers locate a local, licensed and skilled tradesperson.

Pictures: DAVE ANDERSON 12453581-FA28-20

A picture tells a thousand words is an often used adage that couldn’t be more apt when it comes to the spectacular photography of Dave Anderson who has been rewarding the Noosa community with his images of nature on social media and now shares them with Noosa Today. Growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, Dave Anderson developed a love nature encouraged by his father and had an interest in photographing it. The carpenter/builder moved to Noosa, married and had children and put his interest in nature photography on the back burner. But now, decades on his children have grown and his father, who encouraged his love of nature, has passed away. “He always said when you have tough times go for a walk in nature,“ Dave said of his dad. “As a tribute to him I started 10 to 15 years ago meddling with photography.“

Dave is a self-taught photographer. He said he doesn’t use high end equipment or get caught up with the jargon. “To me it’s like telling a story to people,“ he said. Before work early in the morning he often heads to the Noosa River with his camera to capture the wildlife in the area. “It’s the best time of the day and people are still sleeping,“ he said. “I’m not a night owl. In Noosa there’s not that much to do at night. I’ve just found this creative thing that I seem to have a talent for and I enjoy it.“ It isn’t money that attracted Dave to photography but the joy of sharing the images of nature and raising an awareness of the animals that live around us. “We have a lot of older people living in Noosa and they can’t get out,“ he said. “It’s the joy of it.

Nesting time

The start of the turtle nesting season is a good reminder to look after Sunshine Coast beaches.

It’s turtle nesting season and residents are asked to report turtle tracks, new nests and emerging hatchlings to Sunshine Coast Council’s Turtle Care hotline or Coolum and North Shore Coast Care. For sightings on the southern end of the coast call 0437 559 067 and for sightings from Mooloolaba north call Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0403 370 157. Residents are also encouraged to switch off their outside lights from 8pm as light pollution is distracting for turtles and hatchlings. Sunshine Coast Council’s TurtleCare Conservation Officer Simone Bosshard said turtle nesting season began this month and continued until March. “Mon Repos, in Bundaberg, had the first turtle nest of the 2020 season on Tuesday night (3 November, 2020), which means we can expect our first turtle nest in approximately two weeks,” Ms Bosshard said. “We expect to welcome back many nesting females to our beaches across the next few months, with the peak in nesting occurring over Christmas and New Year. “Our incredible TurtleCare volunteers undertake daily surveys of every beach from North Bribie to Buddina and look out for tracks - about one metre wide - to identify where a nest has been laid and by what species. “TurtleCare volunteers are also responsible for our ongoing monitoring program for nesting activity. “In fact, last season, 186 registered and specially trained volunteers donated more than 8102 hours looking after 50 nests between North Bribie Island and Point Cartwright, making sure the nests were safe from predators and wild weather. Ms Bosshard said all TurtleCare activities were conducted under Queensland Turtle Conservation Project permits. “Our volunteer team in blue shirts have

Currimundi turtle egg cage. undergone professional training with the Queensland Government Turtle Conservation Project, learning how to identify and record species, nesting locations and frequency, protect nests from predation, and monitor the hatchling and emergence success of nests. “Thanks to their efforts last season, more than 4500 endangered loggerhead turtle hatchlings made it to the ocean. It takes around 30 years for those females who survive to come back to our beautiful beaches to lay their eggs. “Loggerheads from eastern Australia are regularly recorded migrating between 1000 and 2600 kilometres between their foraging and nesting grounds. “The turtles coming to our local beaches may have travelled thousands of kilometres, possibly from as far away as New Caledonia or New Guinea. ‘Gandugan’ a nesting female from the 2017/18 nesting season lives in the Swains, in the Outer Great Barrier Reef. “So let’s welcome these ancient mariners and look out for them and their nests this summer season.” The start of the turtle nesting season is a good reminder to look after Sunshine Coast beaches, waterways and parks and keep them clean from litter and marine debris.

Drawing an audience By Margaret Maccoll

The Burgess Creek Project draws a crowd as guest speakers talk about glossy black cockatoos. Pictures: ROB MACCOLL

More than 50 people came to glossy black cockatoo waterhole at Rainbow Park, Sunrise Beach on Saturday to celebrate the bush care regeneration work of the Burgess Creek Project and listen to talks by glossy black cockatoo experts. Project leader Ben Alexander said there had been five working bees conducted on the site,

hundreds of bags of the weed Singapore daisy removed and 500 native trees planted and a further 500 glossy black cockatoo feeding trees were planned to be planted next year in Rainbow Park. He said the Noosa Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed had assisted the project by building a dozen glossy black nesting boxes and another 15 boxes would be built thanks to donations from McGrath Noosa and Noosa Landcare. Ben said volunteers contributed about $50,000 in volunteer hours toward the community through the project. PhD candidate Daniella Teixeira, Dr Gabriel Conroy and Janet Carew spoke to the gathering about the rare and vulnerable glossy black cockatoos. After spending three years recording and interpreting bird sounds of the nesting birds on Kangaroo Island for her PhD Daniella will be able to provide information on the best nesting locations for the cockatoos in Burgess Creek to guide the siting of nesting boxes. She said the cockatoos travelled up to 12 km from nests in search of food for their young. Dr Gabriel Conroy spoke about the fussy feeding habits of the glossy black cockatoos that only feed from the Allocasuarina tree and restrict their diets further to specifically selected trees. Gabriel said research had been conducted on genetic and environmental factors of feed trees to try to determine the reasons for their selection which could inform the propagation of future feed trees that appeal to the fussy eaters. Noosa councillor Joe Jurisevic praised the community effort in bringing together volunteers and experts and capturing local knowledge in the project that was regenerating the bushland to create an improve habitat for native flora and fauna including glossy black cockatoos.Ben said Noosa Landcare would take over care of the bushland restoration over the summer months and volunteers will return to work on the project in February-March next year.

Gala was a cracker event The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) held its inaugural fundraiser on Tuesday 3 November in celebration of International Day for Biosphere Reserves. More than 100 attendees and special guests dressed up for the Black and Glossy Gala to raise awareness for the threatened Glossy Black-Cockatoo. “The Glossy Black is one of Australia’s rarest cockatoos and lucky for us, Noosa is a very significant habitat,” NBRF executive coordinator Sharon Wright said. “The Glossy Black-Cockatoo population is currently under threat from urbanisation and bushfire events, so we wanted to do our bit to protect this vulnerable species.” Guests learned about the plight of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo from local birders “Glossy Bob” Carey and young eco-warrior Spencer Hitchens who explained how to spot a Glossy from the more common Red or YellowTailed Black-Cockatoo. NBRF will host a forum later this month with community conservation groups, researchers and local government representatives to identify opportunities for future management and conservation of important habitat. “We were so happy to raise over $6,000 to go towards outcomes from our upcoming Glossy Black-Cockatoo forum through our Glossy Raffle,” Ms Wright said. Held at Peppers Noosa Resort View Restaurant, guests were served a long lunch featuring local produce prepared by executive chef, Matt Golinski. An eco-fashion parade showcased designs made from upcycled garments and discarded textiles by local designers Larissa Salton, Teddy McRitchie and senior students from Sunshine Beach State High School.

from the event has been overwhelmingly positive and shows that many people would prefer to frock up for a cause as an alternative to the Melbourne Cup,“ NBRF chair Rex Halverson said.For more information visit www.noosabiosphere.org.au.

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

SKYFALL NINE, 8.30pm

TUESDAY

FOR LIFE NINE, 9.30pm

Based on the true story of Isaac Wright Jr., a music producer wrongfully convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to life in prison in 1991, For Life tells the tale of how he went on to fight the system from the inside. Nicholas Pinnock (pictured) plays the down-on-his-luck Aaron Wallace in this re-imagining, which also stars rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Power). Wallace begins his fight by training to become a lawyer while in jail before going on to represent his fellow inmates.

SUNDAY

BLOOD AND TREASURE WIN, 9.30pm

If you were to cross Indiana Jones, James Bond and Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, you’d be close to describing this fun action-adventure. Premiering tonight in a double-episode, Blood And Treasure follows Danny McNamara (Matt Barr, pictured), an antiquities expert who teams up with art thief Lexi Vaziri (Soﬁa Pernas, pictured) to hunt down Karim Farouk (Oded Fehr), a terrorist who steals ancient artefacts to fund his attacks. The pair ﬁnd themselves embroiled in a globecrossing game of dangerous espionage with Interpol agent Gwen Karlsson (Katia Winter) hot on their heels, after items are taken from the recently discovered tomb of Antony and Cleopatra.

SATURDAY

VICTORIA ABC, 7.30pm

Lavish production and a time in the famous queen’s life we don’t often see brought to screen make Victoria every period-piece fan’s dream. In this third season, we’re in 1848 – a turbulent time for Europe and the British Monarchy. As political unrest begins to divide Ireland, an attempt is made on the queen’s life. While her entourage plead with her to take refuge in London, Victoria (Jenna Coleman, pictured) is determined to resolve the conflict and sets off for a royal visit, despite Albert’s (Tom Hughes) objections. During the visit, she meets Lady Palmerston (Pandora Clifford), who opens Victoria’s eyes with her unconventional marriage.

Fifty years and 22 films precede Skyfall, which, on its release, was lauded as the best James Bond film ever. This is James Bond reinvented and Daniel Craig (pictured) gives such a strong performance that we can forgive him for the forgettable Quantum of Solace. Judi Dench as M is practically the co-star of this outing, with plenty of screen time to show off her considerable acting chops. After a botched mission where 007 is presumed shot at M’s misguided order, she is pressured by new boss Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) to retire. Of course, she’s not quite ready for that yet and, with a brilliant baddie in Javier Bardem, breathtaking stunts and an Oscarwinning theme song from Adele, Skyfall will win over even the most staunch Bond critics. Jenna Coleman stars in Victoria

Other high-flying Saffas in the group include Neville Mills, 77, who had a recruitment company specializing in the finance industry, Graham Owen, 65, an IT specialist, and founding member Garth Berg, 73, a retired lawyer. Veteran Californian film-maker Greg Hug-

lin, 68, represents the other side of the world, while long-time Noosans Garth Chapman, 74, whose construction company is still building beautiful Queenslanders, and Tom Mardling, 64, who is the youngest Turtle (known as TIT, or turtle-in-training) and the longest-standing local after 43 years, represent the home side. But wherever they’re from, the Turtles have

one thing in common: none of them have been twiddling their thumbs. Most, but not all, have now retired from stellar careers, and are loving every minute of their active senior lifestyles, not to mention the occasional Friday night beer. “Don’t forget to say we enjoy a good laugh,” says Bob Wood. “After surfing, swimming and paddling, laughter is the best medicine.”

Every beach should have a club like the Noosa Turtles, and a lot do. But I’m not sure too many of them put as much back into the community as these fun-loving septuagenarians do. Founded nearly a decade ago by former Sydney northern beaches surfer and travel industry guru Bob Wood, 78, and a few mates, the all-male Turtles meet in front of the Sails coffee cart at First Point almost every morning to swim a length of the 500-metre beach, run back and settle in for a few laughs and a discussion of world affairs and local politics over coffee. They might also plot one of their many charity fundraising events, which have seen significant Turtle contributions to organizations such as the Noosa Coastguard over the years. Although the Coastguard donations might be seen as a self-serving down-payment on future rescues should they be swept out into the shipping lanes, Bob Wood insists that one of the founding Turtle principles is to make Noosa a better place. “Besides, we’re all elite athletes who can look after ourselves.” “Our morning meetings are a bit like a men’s shed, except we don’t bring our tools,” he adds. On the morning our photo was taken 14 of the 20 or so Turtles presented themselves - a couple had jumped the gun and started swimming - with an average age of 70. An eclectic bunch of high achievers determined to keep fit into the golden years, many of them had already cycled several kilometres to the beach and would cycle home again, jacked up on coffee, in an hour or two. “It’s like a mini triathlon every day,” says Charl Gold, 67, a former clothing manufac-

Bringing Hawaii to Noosa By Phil Jarratt In March 1999, as Noosa’s first big budget surf festival was about to get underway, two minibuses with surfboard-laden trailers pulled into the car park of the newly-opened South Pacific Resort, and a couple of dozen of surfing’s living legends climbed out. Among them were Hawaiian royalty Buffalo Keaulana and his sons Rusty and Brian, pioneer big wave riders Greg Noll from California and Titus Kinimaka from Kauai and surfer musicians Reno Abellira and Melvyn Pu’u. Fetching his boards from the trailer, Rusty Keaulana yelled, “Where’s the beach, bra?” On being told it was a five-minute drive away, his jaw dropped. The organisers sensed trouble. But when the Hawaiians entered the magnificent, high-ceiling reception hall, their jaws dropped for an entirely different reason. Buffalo Keaulana was almost in tears as he said: “We’ve come home.” South Pacific became a home away from home for the Hawaiians for more than a decade. It’s 22 years this month since New Zealandborn builder/developer Jim Tatton realised his dream of bringing traditional Hawaiian style to Noosa, and South Pacific is still enchanting guests who love its polished floors, ceiling fans and Hawaiian print fabrics, and although he’s pretty much passed the mantle to son Sam, Jim, now 72, is still pulling on the boots and the hard hat and helping out on site at Hale Lau Hala (home of the pandanus) in William Street, Noosaville, the latest in a long line of the family’s Hawaii-influenced luxury developments. Jim Tatton, wife Delwyn and one-year-old Sam arrived in Noosa in August 1978, surfed and lounged around with an old university mate for six weeks, then went home and sold up. After building up a lucrative surfboard business to pay his way through uni, Jim had tried his hand at the development game with a few small townhouses, and he liked the way Noosa seemed to be broken up into small holdings rather than monopolised by the big developers. It turned out to be a good punt and by that Christmas he’d sold his first house on the Cooloola Estate. Over the next two decades he was to build many of Noosa’s landmark tourist and residential accommodations, including Las Rias, Noosa Quays, Coco Bay, Coral Beach, Skipper’s Cove and Noosa Outrigger, but on his first trip to Hawaii with Noosa realtor Peter Dowling in 1985, his eyes locked onto a whole new world of possibilities. He recalls: “When I first arrived in Noosa, I built a house for a guy who told me I needed to go to Hawaii. As soon as I got there and saw the Halekulani in Waikiki, I understood what he meant.” Although the fabled beachfront hotel has been through many incarnations over more than a century, the bones of the original colonial mansion were what appealed to Tatton. But when he visited the neighbouring garden island of Kaua’i he had another awakening, and in a strange set of circumstances he was able to capitalise on the island’s worst disaster. When Hurricane Iniki devastated Kaua’i in 1992, causing more than $3 billion damages, Jim had a contract on a house in Princeville, but now he was released from that and found another damaged property for sale in nearby Hanalei Bay. “It was a pole house on beachfront Weke Road,” he recalls. “Solid red cedar with verandas all around, and not too hard to fix up, with some good local help.” It was to be the building that inspired the concept of South Pacific. Jim bought up the caravan park on Weyba Road and as many houses around it as he could, and started planning a concept resort on a five-acre footprint. That local help in Hanalei, Californian surfer and builder Derek Poag, was hired to mastermind the authentic entry statement, and ended up staying for two years. Hawaiian-style bamboo furniture was made in Malaysia and Jim and Delwyn sourced Hawaiian fabrics and art prints on Oahu, while local designer Kim Walker worked on the colour co-ordination of what would ultimately 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 November, 2020

be 104 fully-furnished apartments set in landscaped gardens planted from the Tattons’ Boreen Point nursery. Then they took it to market. In one frantic weekend Jim and sales guru the late Arne Smith put on their Hawaiian shirts and flew to Adelaide where they sold 45 apartments. Although it’s had its ups and downs in the years since, South Pacific has lost none of that “romantic imagery of the South Seas” that Delwyn Tatton conjured up, and it remains a favourite with visiting families and locals looking for a poolside chill in a beautiful setting. Now manager Simone Weatherall is offering a “locals only” special pre-Christmas deal of 12 percent off a minimum two-night stay valid to December 17, 2020. Simone says: “If you stay three or more nights, excluding school holidays, we will include one free night.

Still for sale By Margaret Maccoll The Noosa Nudist Retreat reached $1.1million at auction last Saturday before being passed in with owner Rainer Mueckenberger aiming for a sale closer to the $1.35million mark. Harcourts Noosa real estate agent Clint Jensen said there were six registered bidders at the online auction but as soon as it passed in he was “flooded with phone calls” from people inquiring about the property. Mr Jensen said inquiries came from across Australia with differing ambitions for the 2.5 acre Doonan property from residential to a gay nudist retreat. Sadly there were no bids from celebrities despite online bookmaker Sportsbet listing a few well known names as likely punters. Mr Jensen said the Sportsbet favourites

were removed from their site prior to the auction. The property attracted incredible interest during marketing with 40 million views in its first week on sale and buyer inquiries coming from both Australia and overseas. For 20 years Rainer has owned the Doonan property he loves for being centrally located only 10 minutes to Hastings Street, Noosa River and national park. The Noosa Nudist Retreat features an outdoor nature gym, a bondage room, a romantic rock cave with a spa bath and massage table and pool. For more information phone Clint Jensen at Harcourts Noosa on 0411 113 099 or 5355 7000, email clint.jensen@harcourts.com.au or visit www.noosa.harcourts.com.au

River Retreat receives prestigious prize By Abbey Cannan A local small business has received a prestigious title as they have been named the Boutique Resort of the Year for Queensland. Noosa River Retreat was successfully announced as the winner last week by Corporate Livewire Prestige Awards. Noosa River Retreat managers Geoff and Kate Arscott said it meant so much to be acknowledged for doing a good job. “In the past, having both worked in Emergency Service’s for 20 plus years, we now get to use our people skills in a much happier environment,” Kate said. “We entered into the tourism industry and our first business in March 2020, at what some would think was the worst timing ever.

Four representatives to the conference at Évian including the U.S. delegate, Myron C. Taylor (left). (U.S. National Archives).

Thomas Walter White, the Australian delegate to Évian. (Australian Parliamentary Handbook, 11th Edition).

Chilling Holocaust history This week when the world pauses to remember the anniversary of the end of WWI on 11 November Wide Bay historian and author Tony Matthews talks to Noosa Today about his new book, Tragedy at Évian, that details the chilling background to the Holocaust and lessons learnt from the past. Tragedy at Évian has been released in Australia and internationally to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp and the end of World War II. The book provides in-depth details of a controversial international meeting that took place at &Eacute;vian-les-Bains, France, in July 1938 during which diplomatic representatives of thirty-two countries, including Australia, came together in an effort to find ways of ameliorating the plight of European Jews then suffering beneath the murderous heel of Nazi oppression. It has taken Dr Matthews almost thirty years to write this revealing book which provides the reader with a stunning reality check of exactly how the Holocaust could either have been prevented or, at least, mitigated, saving potentially millions of lives. Sourced from tens of thousands of previously top secret documents from the US State Department, this books reveals a new, extremely concerning and thought-provoking background to our known history of the Holocaust. “There is no doubt that the &Eacute;vian conference was a critical turning point in world history,” Dr Matthews said. “The outcome of the conference set the stage for the attempted annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe. No other international conference in modern history has played such a profoundly significant role in world events and affected the fates of so many individuals, yet details of the conference remain almost unknown today. “I spoke on ABC Radio nationally about my search to find people who had either been at the conference or who had knowledge of the event. “However, despite such wide publicity I was unable to find a single person in Australia who knew anything about the &Eacute;vian conference which made me even more determined to write the book because I wanted people to know what had happened back then. Making people aware of what happened at &Eacute;vian has been a driving force behind the writing of this book. In addition to the classified State Department files, almost all of the firsthand information I obtained about personal experiences of Jewish refugees during the war came from the archives of the Holocaust Museum in the United States. It was from these that I largely gained an understanding of some of the personal experiences of refugees as they had attempted to flee from the Nazis.” At &Eacute;vian, thirty-nine refugee organisations including twenty Jewish groups were to give factual, firsthand evidence of the treatment then being meted out to the Jews under German control. Theirs was a simple cry in the darkness: ‘Help us to get out,’ they told the delegations, ‘or we shall not survive.’ 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 November, 2020

An exhausted Jewish refugee who was fortunate enough to escape to England. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). Unfortunately, with only a few exceptions, European Jews were not welcome anywhere in the world. Many countries were taking limited numbers of refugees but the only country where Jews could find a true welcome was in Palestine, and there, by only the Jewish community. On the first day of the conference the U.S. ambassador, Myron C. Taylor, rose for his inaugural address. The auditorium was hushed, there was an expectant silence as the delegates, the press and the world waited to learn what the U.S. would offer. Speculation was rife that the U.S. would set a high quota of Jewish immigrants from Germany. Many, in fact, believed that the U.S. would announce they were prepared to take up to 600,000 refugees. Taylor’s speech began with details of the need for fast action on behalf of the Jewish refugees but later continued that America’s immigration quota system would not be changed to any great degree in order to accommodate the Jewish problem. He acknowledged that a full quota of German and Austrian immigrants amounting to slightly more than 27,000 people - would be accepted for the following year. However, he failed to point out that a large percentage of these immigrants would be Christians. The Jewish representatives at &Eacute;vian were stunned into silence at the US ambassador’s words. The country that had promised so much was now offering virtually nothing beyond those measures already in place - and Taylor’s proposals were to set the example for the tragic series of events that followed. As the conference ground to its predictable close it became patently obvious to the representative countries - and particularly obvious to Adolf Hitler - that the world generally had little time for the Jews. Even Australia, with its vast open areas perfectly suitable for immi-

White, told its delegates. In Berlin, Hitler viewed the resolution of the &Eacute;vian conference with considerable contempt. He had been hoping that the representative nations would take the Jewish problem off his agenda. Now, however, he believed that he was left with little alternative. Jews were not welcome anywhere in the world. There could be only one solution. Extermination! Golda Meir, future Prime Minister of Israel was later to state: “After the conference at &Eacute;vian-les-Bains, it became chillingly clear that the Jewish people were entirely on their own.”“My role in accessing the highly classified State Department files and writing the book was simply an attempt to demonstrate that we will always have to look for the

warning signs,” Dr Matthews said. “The persecution of the Jews of Europe was a powerful signpost indicating that a great evil was taking place and that greater evil would follow if something were not done quickly to prevent it. We see today many such warning signs with the dramatic increase of ultra-right-wing nationalism and the massive surge in well armed militia groups coupled with insidious political manipulation. Even Germany, which, since the war, has been at the forefront of crushing any semblance of ultra-right-wing nationalism, is now facing considerable problems with the growth of neo-Nazi influences. These are all warning signs of a dangerous future which will be exacerbated by political and social unrest brought about through deadly pandemics, the clashes of political ideologies and other forms of global influences such as climate change.” Tragedy at Évian is being published in Australia by Big Sky Publishers and in the UK and US by Pen and Sword Books.

Every beer has a story Adam Tomlinson’s dream started in December 2008 during a craft brewery tour in the USA and, 12 years later, has come to fruition with the opening of Stalwart Brewing Company at Nambour. The craft brewery, based at the heritagelisted Club Hotel on Currie Street, provides a high-quality range of ales, two of which draw on his Navajo Indian and Kabi Kabi heritage. He uses Sunshine Coast hinterland water, fresh grain, hops and yeast, and no preservatives or additives. “I was so excited to move in here at the start of 2020, but then COVID came, so I was left with a pub with no beer,” Adam said. Despite many challenges, Adam was determined to open his brew pub and achieved his vision on July 18. Stalwart’s core range of beers reflects Adam’s diverse ancestry: The Sacred Chief honours his great great great grandfather, a Navajo Indian from America’s mid-west who immigrated to Australia in the 1800s during the Gympie gold rush. Adam’s second commercial release The Dreamtime Warrior is a golden ale in honour of his great grandmother who was a Kabi Kabi woman from the Sunshine Coast. “A brew pub is about bringing the community together, and having a beer over a great story.” Adam said Sunshine Coast Council helped by identifying suitable brewery sites and provided pre-lodgement planning advice. “Council also expedited approvals for plumbing and planning, having suggested the Nambour Entertainment precinct as suitable

for this development, and that ensured a swift approval process at minimal cost,” Mr Tomlinson said. “I was also invited to participate in a craft breweries and distilleries industry forum hosted by council in January to better understand the needs of this growing industry cluster and to consider this in regard to future iterations of the planning scheme.” His success makes him the perfect candidate for the Local Business Champion series. Economic Development Portfolio Councillor Terry Landsberg said the Local Business Champions series was developed in collaboration with the Economic Resurgence Taskforce to inspire confidence in business and industry, and win back consumer trust and confidence, a key theme of the region’s Economic Resurgence Plan. “Council is working with chambers of commerce, industry groups and the local business community to seek out and promote these great local stories,” Cr Landsberg said. “I encourage the entire community to get behind these Local Business Champions and share their stories far and wide. If we all eat, shop and support local our region will emerge stronger and more resilient as the economy recovers.”

Border pass changes An improved border pass system to streamline the process of entering Queensland was introduced on Tuesday. With Queensland border restrictions on COVID-19 hotspots of Greater Sydney and Victoria remaining in place, all travellers to Queensland are reminded to apply in advance for a border declaration pass. The online application process will remove confusion around pass types by autoselecting passes for applicants based on the information they provide. All applicants will need to upload supporting documents for validation which may take up to three business days to be processed. Travellers should bring their hard copy documents to border control while the new system is phased in. There is no need for people with existing Queensland Border Declaration Passes to re-apply as all valid passes will continue

to be honoured. Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the revamped system was designed to streamline processes while ensuring compliance with border restrictions was maintained. “This is an automated system to remove confusion and assist in speeding up processing at the border,” Deputy Commissioner Gollshewski said. “The improvements to the system will further reduce the risk to Queenslanders by strengthening enforcement measures on those who seek to enter our state with false declarations. “While most people coming into Queensland do the right thing, there have been a number of instances of people attempting to blatantly disobey the directions and make false declarations.

2 old tree huggers

Still hugging - Vivien Griffin and Phil Moran.

Pictures: ROB MACCOLL

Fight for Noosa’s future Former Noosa and Sunshine Coast councillor Vivien Griffin (now chair of Zero Emissions Noosa) and Noosa Landcare manager Phil Moran (who finished just outside the cut in this year’s council elections) have both been environmental warriors for decades. Now they are trying to secure Noosa’s future in the face of climate change. They sat with PHIL JARRATT under the old growth trees at Landcare’s Futures Centre in Pomona for this discussion. Tell me how you got here? Vivien: When I started coming to Noosa I was working with the Nurses Union in Brisbane in the early 1980s, having gone back to university as a mature age student, and decided I wanted to work with the working class. I went to uni late because I’d come from a standard working class family where the girls didn’t do that. In fact, Mum got me a job when I was 14, as secretary to the deputy director-general of health and medical services. How that happened is a wonder of the public service! My parents were probably on the conservative side, but you didn’t talk politics at home, so I was politically naïve until I finally went to uni, where I did a quite useless humanities degree, but then did a post-graduate qualification in industrial relations because I’d decided that was the field I wanted to work in. The Nurses Union was emerging as a reformist group at the time. I started coming to Noosa in about 1981, and in 1985 I bought the block of land that I still have at Marcus Beach, and built a house on it in 1989. Phil: I grew up in Brisbane and started work very early at the Breakfast Creek Hotel and the Tangalooma resort while still at school. My mother wanted me to be a lawyer, my father just wanted me to make money in business. The biggest hotel at the time was the Crest International so I started there as a trainee manager and after about seven years became their youngest ever catering manager. Then I quit and went to Indonesia with a friend, and that was when my education really started, when my social conscience was born, just through seeing how under-privileged these people were and how hard they worked. My friend was always interested in the bush and the environment while I was more in my father’s mould and I wasn’t. We travelled through 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 November, 2020

Vivien and Phil. Indonesia together from national park to national park for months, and by the end I just loved it. When I came back to Brisbane I didn’t want to go back into big hotels so I started my own business. It seems odd that you grew up in Queensland yet it took a trip to one of the world’s most populous countries to awaken an interest in the natural world. Phil: It’s a good point. I left Australia of 13 million people and went to Jakarta of 13 million people - quite an eye-opener. As a kid I was heavily into sports, but I didn’t really do much on my own. I went to Noosa a bit when it was just fibro sheds and caravans at The Spit, but mainly any environmental connection I had came through my friend who lived on 17 acres at Brookfield, where I started to notice the bush. I see a parallel with now, when so many young people put their earphones on and don’t have a connection with nature, and it’s very hard to educate them about the environment.

Okay, you were starting a business. I borrowed a lot of money and bought a gourmet takeaway food and catering business called. Interest rates were over 18 percent and there were Energex strikes with blackouts all the time, I had about seven staff to pay, and my hair went white like yours! I developed a private catering arm and ended up getting into the legal market, doing boardroom lunches and so on for institutions like the Queensland Law Society, Barclays, Lloyds of London. This was an extremely stressful time for me, but my late sister and her husband had a property near Mullumbimby and I’d go down there on my days off and help kill weeds on the block. I just loved it, so when I had to sell the business in 1990 because of arthritic issues, I bought acreage near Cooroy. By this time I was married with a little son, Harry, but we got divorced and I ended up buying a shed on 33 acres in Cooran with no power and a $75,000 debt. But I’d have Harry most weekends and he just loved it. No power so no TV or computer

games, he’d bring his mates with him and we’d play forts or swim in the dam with the dog. And then I got together with the best woman in the world. You’d made a tree change, exchanging a stressful city existence for a rural idyll, did it come with a new outlook on life? Phil: Yes, I took up tree-hugging. I started volunteering for Noosa and District Landcare, doing potting or whatever they wanted done. It was a fledgling group with just two part-time employees and a tiny nursery. I was also setting up a wholesale nursery to supply native plants, which had become fashionable. Vivien, take me through your early years as a Noosa resident. Vivien: I built this shell of a house at Marcus Beach. I would come up at weekends and it was soul balm to me. I’d sit on the deck at night and look at the stars and hear the ocean. It was what I needed. And then I got involved in Greening Noosa. The late Heather Melrose had a treeplanting group that would go up and down the coast once a month, and at the time the big environmental issue was where the next stage of the Sunshine Coast Motorway would go. Heather was strongly involved in that. The proposal was for the motorway to go straight up the guts of what is now Noosa National Park on the eastern side of Lake Weyba. There was a group called STOP (Save Today Our Parklands), which was predominantly Marcus Beach and Peregian people, but Peter Garrett and other prominent people got involved because it would have totally destroyed that magnificent corridor, not to mention the disaster it would have caused by dumping traffic into Noosa Junction. Fortunately, Mayor Noel Playford came up with an alternative proposal to put the motorway further inland, which was passed. My first serious engagement in the environmental movement was quite by accident when a group of the Greening Noosa people were sitting around a picnic table discussing a submission to the public consultation process over council’s development control plan for the Marcus High Dunes, and I said I’d help with the typing. But it was going to be compromise, and I said, why would you compromise? So, I started not just typing but writing the press releases. I’d go back to Brisbane and send them out on the Nurses Union telex or fax.

2 old tree huggers

Phil Moran in the field. Did you come up with “High Noon For The High Dunes”? Vivien: I did, and it was my one marketing success. (Laughs) I’m very proud of it. I got myself elected to Noosa Council in 1994 when the High Dunes issue was being decided, and met one of the unsung heroes in that, planning director Raul Weychardt, who wrote a development control plan that created history by proposing no development. Phil, did you become politically active in the green movement when all this was happening? Phil: No, I didn’t. I was selling my plants, doing some landscaping and volunteering at Landcare. Then a job became available at Landcare as a project officer and I became a full-time employee, and have been for 23 years. But back then I had no political affiliations. I was an apprentice tree-hugger, I probably wasn’t even aware of most of it. My political activism took a while to develop. But through my work I knew Heather Melrose well - a wonderful, strong, savvy woman - and Raul Weychardt, who taught me so much without teaching me anything. People like that created a kernel within me, and I started to become more aware of environmental issues. But even now, at Noosa Landcare we try to be apolitical. You’ve both mentioned Heather Melrose as a mentor. Vivien, can you tell us about working with her on council? Vivien: What a remarkable individual! She’d do her homework so thoroughly. Some people claim the macro approach and say, oh, I’m not good at detail. Heather covered both. When we were fighting the Marcus Dunes battle, we got access to the T.M. Burke files and Heather had a list of documents that she wanted to see. But separating them was too hard so they just brought out all the files and dumped them on a table. We were like kids in a lolly shop! (Laughs) Another time they wanted to plant Mexican palms in front of Halse Lodge, an she fought that as hard as she fought for the Marcus High Dunes. Nothing got past her. Why didn’t she run for mayor after Playford? Vivien: Well, she retired and I ran, and wasn’t that a disaster! (Laughs) But fortunately Heather came back at the next election and served as councillor again. Not to dwell on a disaster, but what made you run for mayor against Bob Abbot? Vivien: It was a dumb decision, but Noel was stepping down and I wanted to see his legacy continue, and I also realised that if Bob got in, there would be no chance of beating him next time. There was no chance of beating him

the numbers to get good things done for Noosa. At the same time, there were some very silly decisions, and I wouldn’t be optimistic about what might have happened if we’d remained amalgamated. Phil: I’d never marched in my life but I was at the Brisbane protest march against amalgamation with my wife Kim. I thought it was a terrible decision. But there were good people within the Sunshine Coast Council and there was more money in the environment levy, so when de-amalgamation started, I was in two minds, but what swung me was the fact that there is something special about Noosa. The Biosphere was happening at the same time and I was on the international recognition working group, so that increased my feeling that Noosa had to be independent. The Biosphere board came up with a slogan, “keep Noosa special”, which was bagged for being elitist. But Noosa is special, and nothing has proven that more than how we’ve handled Covid. Vivien: But Noosa has to get out of its comfort zone, and the first step is to recognize that you’re in one. Years ago my mum had a Davis Gelatine cookbook in which every dish was

made in aspic. Noosa is a bit like that - it’s in danger of being locked in aspic, complacent about its past achievements, but not looking over the parapet at the really serious challenges that face not only us but the whole planet. Our small community could be a world leader in climate change action. To me, that’s the only game in town. I agree there’s only one issue, but climate change is multi-faceted, and the roles you two play are evidence of that. Vivien: It’s economic, it’s social, it’s the environment. It affects every business in town. Most importantly, it’s about what we leave behind. Every grandparent in Noosa should be rising up to help us win this battle for future generations! And economic and environmental benefit has never come together as well as it is now. Right here at Landcare, these guys are about to put 9.4 kilowatts of power on their roof. Phil: And that’s not so much a tree-hugging decision as an economic one. The writing is on the wall everywhere. I’ve had the view for a long time that the economy and the environment are not incompatible.

Peter Garrett joins the motorway fight. then, but I hadn’t realised that. Phil, explain your political awakening. Phil: I started to realise that it wasn’t the dark side, it was the green side. I learnt so much from my property. I always describe my 33 acres as a university without the sandstone. I’d find a butterfly and go back to my books and learn all about it, and I’d teach my son Harry about butterflies. We’d catch fish in the creek and put them in the aquarium until we’d identified them, then let them go. I probably first put my toe in the political water under CEO Bruce Davidson, who was a great operator. We’ve mentioned mentors, and I’d add Paul Summers for his work on establishing the population cap, and the mayors, Playford, Abbot and Wellington, although I may not have always agreed with them. What do you think our environmental future would look like if we hadn’t de-amalgamated? Vivien: It’s very hard to say because the direction of a council is shaped by its councillors, and the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Council that came in 2008 had Bob Abbot as mayor and he was a respected, unifying force, and we had

Canberra Flights Return The article announcing flights from the Sunshine Coast Airport to Canberra as “the first time ever” is incorrect.

In past years we have taken a number of direct flights from Maroochy Airport (as it was then) direct to Canberra, until a general restructuring and reduction of flights from many regional airports, including Sunshine Coast/ Maroochydore Airport took place. However, it will be a pleasure to fly again from the Sunshine Coast Airport, saving at least an extra 1.5 hours on the trip and not to have to drive to Brisbane. Anne Oxley Tewantin

The Queensland Police Service is partnering with the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and Get Ready Queensland to ask everyone to prepare now for the upcoming disaster season. Did you know that Queensland is the most disaster-impacted state in Australia? With the Bureau of Meteorology indicating that Australia is expected to experience an ‘average to above average’ number of cyclones this summer, now is the time to get prepared for extreme weather events. Melissa Dixon from Get Ready Queensland said that there is plenty Queenslanders can do to prepare for natural disasters including floods, storms and bushfires. “Recent history has shown us that Queenslanders can face catastrophic bushfires one month and unprecedented flooding the next,” Ms Dixon said. “This year, we want all Queenslanders to take three simple steps to get ready; prepare a household emergency plan, pack an emer-

gency kit and check your insurance. “Get Ready Queensland research shows almost half of Queenslanders say they will wait for an actual or impending disaster to get prepared. “We need to do better and now is the time to take the steps to protect what’s most important to you.” QFES Deputy Commissioner Mike Wassing said when it comes to storm preparedness, there are a number of simple steps everyone can take to minimise the impact on homes and properties. “Be sure to clear out backyards and gutters, prepare an emergency plan and educate your children on storm and floodwater safety,” Deputy Commissioner Wassing said. “You may be isolated by a severe storm, flood or cyclone for several days without electricity, food or water - make sure you have an Emergency Kit prepared.” Deputy Commissioner Wassing said QFES

was ready for storm and cyclone season, with dedicated specialist swift water rescue firefighters and SES personnel ready to assist. State Disaster Coordinator and Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said police were also ready to support Queensland communities in the event of a natural disaster, while navigating a COVID-conscious environment. “It’s already been a challenging year for Queenslanders and now we need your help in preparing for natural disasters. “It’s important we continue to work together and look out for each other this summer.” Learn more about how you can prepare for disaster season by visiting the Get Ready Queensland website: www.getready.qld.gov.au Call 132 500 if you require the assistance of the State Emergency Service (SES) with storm damage, rising flood water, fallen trees on buildings and damage to your roof. For life threatening emergencies always call Triple Zero (000).

OPINION

On The Soapbox Alan Lander

It’s time for real news Watching the drawn-out drama of the US election will have generated many different emotions and reactions, depending upon one’s world view. So many were transfixed as the results pendulum first took us to the seeming certainty of a Trump victory, only for the lead to be stripped away in onion layers toward Biden, as the metropolitan and postal votes in many states began to overhaul the more regional and rural count completed earlier. There was a different take-home experience for everyone, whether it was wonderment at the sheer complexity of the multi-tier American electoral system, or frustration over the sometimes-archaic methodology in the votecounting. For me as a journalist, it was the moment that most of the television networks said “enough” as Trump railed in rage over the continuing count with lie after lie broadcast to the networks’ huge audiences. It was not the first time the networks had switched Trump off - but it was a seminal moment in an ongoing argument in media circles. It highlights the crisis faced by mainstream

media in what has become a post-truth world. Traditional media reports news in a timehonoured “he said/she said” fashion, not taking a position on whether what is being said is correct or incorrect. And they place opinion in separate categories. Well, they used to, anyway. But “correct or incorrect” has become “right or wrong” in today’s 24-hour online news coverage, where everyone’s now a “journalist“. Because now, actual knowledge and (oftenunfounded, unverified) opinion have somehow been awarded equality in the online environment. And this leads to the question of whether reporting what are clearly lies without qualification makes the reporter an “enabler” of the liar or the falsehood promoter, with the potential to tar the reputation of the media outlet doing that reporting. As Guardian Australia political editor Katharine Murphy pondered last Saturday on Trump’s post-election rant: “Faced with this reality - a lying, dangerous demagogue openly hostile to political conventions and democratic norms - media outlets face difficult choices.

“Do networks refuse to broadcast the lies? Do media outlets disrupt the tirades with live fact-checking? Broadcast the news (and a president speaking meets the news test) without interruption, but put straps at the bottom of the screen alerting viewers to the fact a politician is making false claims? Broadcast minus the filter, leaving viewers to form their own conclusions?” Mainstream media today suffers criticism from all quarters - much of it unfair - as it seeks to either maintain a traditional model of journalism, or satisfy a perceived demand for news plus “professional” opinion in an increasingly polarised society. But in doing so, it often ends up actually increasing polarisation by the stridency and “rightness” of its opinionists. The world is a complex place and there is a huge appetite for simple solutions and explanations, but surely the media landscape would be better off with more news analysis and less news opinion? Fortunately, local community news is undergoing a revival in print, as this newspaper and its sister publications will attest, despite

Rupert Murdoch’s supposed attempts to dominate and control the market (and Kevin Rudd’s well-intentioned but inaccurate claim that Murdoch owns 100 percent of Queensland print media). True, it can’t easily compete in terms of ‘breaking news’, although it has an accompanying website to offer news updates when required. But it will faithfully and accurately report the news that is happening much closer to home - and is therefore much more relevant to local people. It may be old-fashioned, but producing news in print means a journalist’s mistakes are very public and can’t be rectified by a quick visit to a website’s ‘back-end’ to adjust a spelling mistake or amend a wrongly ascribed quote, as frequently occurs in online publications - if they even bother. But it also means the printed publication is thoroughly checked for accuracy and integrity before it goes to print. And importantly, “news” and “opinion” will appear as separate items, usually clearly labelled. Now that’s something hard to find on the internet today.

Migrants ready to soar to new heights on job front Twenty-eight migrants to the Sunshine Coast from diverse cultural backgrounds have put their new job-ready skills into action at Sunshine Coast Council’s Migrant Work Ready program graduation and employer networking event held last Friday in Mooloolaba. It comes after participants completed the eight-week course offering practical tips from professional experts, community organisations and business owners on how to prepare for the local job market and improve prospects of finding employment. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson congratulated the participants for their hard work and efforts. “We strongly believe in the importance of providing access to opportunities for all members of our community and this program is very much targeted at those residents of our Sunshine Coast who have found their way here from many locations across the globe,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Our award-winning Migrant Work Ready program is now in its third year and is a key example of how our council is working with its partners to deliver on the objectives of our Sunshine Coast Community Strategy 20192041. “I’m pleased to see 28 people today graduate with the confidence and skills to make a difference to the local job market and add to our skilled and culturally diverse workforce.” Sunshine Coast Multicultural Advisory Group member Peppi Bueti said recent migrants to the region often faced many challenges in finding jobs. “They may have a lack of Australian work experience and references,” Mr Bueti said. “They may have limited social networks and experience language difficulties, and they may not have their skills or qualifications recognised or know where to apply for jobs. “To see how much of a difference this program makes to these migrants in just a few short months is incredible.” Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said a total of 75 graduates had completed the program since its inception. “The Sunshine Coast normally welcomes an average of 2700 new migrants per year,” Cr Law said. “It’s essential we as a community make them feel welcome and embrace their contributions so together we thrive. “When businesses employ a diverse workforce, it benefits the business, its employees and customers through increased productiv-

Since arriving in Australia, the family has expanded with the birth of their son Martin, one, and in more good news Ms Tsvetanova recently received a job offer in her field after completing the Migrant Work Ready program. “I was having a hard time finding a job in architecture so I decided to join this program

as I felt it would be useful,” Ms Tsvetanova said. “It was great for networking and connecting with local people from the business community. “I really liked the networking and the presentations from the guests and facilitators. They were all very interesting and informative. “We also did some practical work from time to time, such as interviewing and CV writing with mentors.” The program was delivered in partner-

ship with Sunshine Coast Council, Nambour Community Centre, Maroochydore Chamber of Commerce, TAFE Queensland, Volunteering Sunshine Coast and Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance Business Mentor program. In July, the Federal Government announced Sunshine Coast Council had taken out the Multicultural Australia category in the 2020 National Awards for Local Government. The awards celebrate the work of local governments in delivering targeted, quality services to local communities. Friday, 13 November, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 41

New exhibitions Three exciting new exhibitions will open at Noosa Regional Gallery on November 13. They continue the Gallery’s series of exhibitions celebrating Australian artists. Irish-born Queensland artist Miriam Innes brings to Noosa her recently acclaimed work, New York Rambling. Innes is internationally renowned for her large-scale hyper-realistic charcoal sketches of the built environment. Measuring more than 25 metres, New York Rambling took two years to draw. It will wrap around the Gallery’s walls creating an immersive installation celebrating the New York City skyline. Relishing the ‘artfulness of the everyday’, Innes transports audiences to the iconic city and invites a closer examination of its famed architectural splendour and hustle and bustle. “Innes insists that the viewer is implicated in her work,” Gallery Director Michael Brennan said. “Her intention is for the audience to ‘experience’ her work rather than passively observe it. “By revealing the rich complexity of the cityscape, Innes challenges the viewer to rethink the beauty of the built environment.” In a similar theme, Brisbane artist Elysha Rei’s new exhibition also draws attention to the often neglected details found in suburban structure. FURUSATO: Patterns from Pilgrimage features a new series of large-scale hand-cut paper works that map Rei’s personal journey through Japan. Retracing her ancestral steps during a recent artist residency, Rei documented patterns she found on manhole covers in each locality she visited, not realising at the time how they would inspire this new work. “The journey (through Japan) was a life changing experience for me,” she said. “I realised my purpose as an artist was to continue the connection with my Japanese heritage, through studying and celebrating the Japanese design aesthetic within my work.” Practicing the ancient Japanese art of ‘Kirie’ or papercutting, there is no ability to erase lines or paint over a mistake, said Rei. “I am forced to trust my decisions and to invest in my designs with conviction.” Also working intuitively with paper is Melbourne artist Daniel Agdag. Sitting at the nexus of sculpture and motionography, Agdag’s

MIRIAM INNES: New York Rambling; Elysha REI FURUSATO: Patterns from Pilgrimage, and DANIEL AGDAG: Miscellaneous Assemblies will officially open at Noosa Regional Gallery on November 13. They will be on show until January 23, 2021. Book your free ticket to the official opening via the website. Entry to the Gallery is free. Visit: www.noosaregionalgallery.com.au

The Majestic Theatre’s Halloween Party turned out to be a very spooky event indeed. A freak storm hit Pomona at just after the party started, at 7pm, with a mini tornado ripping up Hill St, blacking out the area. The howling winds and driving rain kept everyone inside for an hour, until it eased. With no electricity, the dimly lit theatre, known for its ghosts, became a very spooky place, indeed. However, in typical Majestic fashion, the dressed-up party goers were undeterred, happily drinking and munching on party food while the storm blew over. The evening was scheduled to show the Hitchcock horror film ‘Psycho’, but because of the blackout, and lack of electricity, this was impossible. At 8pm, with conditions easing outside, it was decided to call it a night. The good news is that the patrons who came will be able to revisit Halloween Night on Friday the Thirteenth of November (this Friday), and anyone else who wishes to come can book online to do so. This will be the dress-up Halloween Night that Sat the 31st of October could not be, on another spooky date. This time patrons will be able to see ‘PSYCHO’, and party like it’s, well, Halloween! Because of Covid restrictions there will be limited seats, at $25, or $20 concession. A free drink on arrival, and pizza supper is included. There will also be prizes for the best costumes. Tickets can be booked online at www.themajesictheate.com.au

Doors to open wide for special Christmas Farm Day Join the hundreds of people who have already enjoyed a day at the farm at Yabbaloumba Retreat, at their special Christmas Farm Day on Saturday 19 December. Owners Barb and Lloyd Campbell love to throw open their gates to their picturesque 200-acre property at Cambroon, near Kenilworth, which is a working farm with a wide range of animals including lambs, geese, goats, a horse, a pony, cows, pigs, and more. Families can enjoy a self-guided tour around the property to feed and pat the animals and get a real experience of farm life. There are also lawn games, free face painting and tractor cart tours to feed the cattle, and free festive kids’ activities in the Barn. The special Christmas Farm Day will be held from 9am to 1pm. Property owners Lloyd and Barb said the Farm Days were a great opportunity for kids to learn about where their food comes from and experience a different kind of life. “We love our open space, so we wanted to invite everyone to experience farm life - to feed and pat the animals, enjoy some great fresh and locally-made food and just relax,” Barb said. Lloyd said with COVID-19, life has changed for so many and they want the Farm Days to be an opportunity for people to take some time out for themselves and their family and friends. “We are also proud to have an R U Ok? Blue Tree on our property - they are painted trees that stand out in the rural landscape to prompt people to talk about mental health and ask, “R u Ok?”,” Lloyd said. 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 November, 2020

Homegrown artists wanted for festival If you’re an established local artist working in visual arts, dance, theatre or music, Horizon Festival has a wonderful opportunity for you to be involved in the Homegrown program during the 2021 festival, August 27 - September 5, 2021. Horizon Festival is calling for submissions from established Sunshine Coast-based artists and collaborators to present new or existing works as part of Homegrown 2021. Three projects or works will be selected and presented as part of the festival, with up to $9000 available per project supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund. Community Portfolio Councillor Rick Ba-

berowski said the inaugural 2020 Homegrown series was an important success and we had learned a lot. “Following that success, we will again place local artists and local creative content at the Horizon forefront in 2021, providing a platform for celebrating and sharing the stories and ideas important to locals and visitors of the Sunshine Coast.” Horizon Festival Artistic Director Dr Lynne Bradley said she was looking forward to seeing the incredible projects artists and collaborators would put forward to feature in next year’s festival. “We’re proud to once again offer this plat-

After the success of sold out shows in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Jeff Martin (of iconic Canadian band The Tea Party) is proud to bring the ’Songs of Led Zeppelin’ event to The Brewery at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi. His first two shows in Eumundi on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 December have sold out, and a third and final show on Friday 20 December is now on sale. The solo shows will see Jeff will perform Led Zeppelin classics over two 60-minute acoustic sets using a collection of his rarest instruments. Jeff Martin’s reputation as a worldrenowned live performer is well known and he has been labeled everything from “child prodigy”, “virtuoso guitarist”, and a “singer with perfect pitch”. In addition to his incredible career with The Tea Party, Jeff has carved out a distinctive and successful career as a solo artist and as an acclaimed and highly sought-after producer. His life has vastly been an exquisite journey immersing himself in many cultures and learning to play the traditional instruments from those cultures from the masters of the craft - in particular the Middle East, and subcontinents of India. His home and studio are filled with ancient instruments he’s collected on his travels - all of which he plays fluently. Jeff can’t wait to get back to Eumundi and play these timeless songs - personal and fan favourites from the legendary Led Zeppelin. This event has limited capacity to comply with Covid Safe regulations and is not to be missed for any Jeff Martin or Led Zeppelin fan. Seating is non-allocated, so it’s first come, first served. Doors open 7pm and tickets can be purchased on pre-sale for $55 (+ booking fee) through Oztix.

Mary Valley Rattler introduces new ‘Sundowner’ express The historic Mary Valley Rattler is introducing a new Summer Sunset Express service to celebrate the imminent arrival of summer. Passengers will be able to enjoy a sundowner as the heritage train steams through the spectacular countryside of the Mary Valley. The Summer Sunset Express service will run on Saturdays with the first departure scheduled for December 5. Operations will run through to January 30. The new service departs Gympie at 3pm, travels through the Mary Valley to Amamoor, and then returns to Gympie at 6pm. The $85 adult fare includes an on board beverage and an antipasto tasting plate. Kids enjoy a snack pack and popper and an activity pack to keep them entertained on their journey for $55. There is also the opportunity to travel in the iconic first class Club Car where passen-

gers enjoy priority boarding, a meet and greet with the drivers, choice of beverage and antipasto tasting plate, and access to the verandah to capture great summer sunset pictures. An on-board beverage trolley service is available throughout the journey. “There’s nothing like steaming through the stunning Mary Valley at any time but a leisurely late summer afternoon is even more special,” the Rattler’s General Manager Mike Green said. “We are excited to be able to offer a second service over the summer season. We are currently operating at reduced capacity and we don’t want anyone to miss out over the holiday period. This service allows people to spend the day as they wish and still be back at their home or accommodation in time for dinner.” Bookings are essential and can be made online at www.maryvalleyrattler.com.au

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Indian - now we’re talking Trevor Pepys reviews Copper Kitchen, Noosa Junction. As is well known, Trevor asks only three things of a good Indian restaurant - variety, spice with flavor, and a crisp papadum. Oh, and a decent house wine or equivalent also helps. The fairly recent addition of Copper Kitchen to the ever more interesting Junction tucker offering seems to meet the above criteria, although Trev got off to a bad start when he and the missus decided to eat early ahead of a thrilling night watching the test pattern of the US election on the box. As the sun set over Sunshine Beach Road, we were shown into a perfectly empty restaurant and sat next to a wall decorated with bad paintings of the Greek islands. Marked down for cultural authenticity and, Trev muttered under his breath, if the papadums arrive soggy, we’re out of here. But our mood began to lighten when the papadums ($4) proved suitably crisp, the place began to fill up, the menu revealed a predictable but nonetheless interesting selection, and the wine list, hallelujah, had a sensible starting price. We selected the Jardin des Charmes dry ros¨¦ ($30) and sipped with some pleasure as we selected. In view of the urgency (of the commentariat if not the actual count) in four swing states that would send the Trumpster back to reality TV or eternal damnation, which is more or less the same thing, Team Tucker elected to hurry things along by sharing a couple of starters and just one main, combining a mixed entr¨¦e ($17) with extra spring rolls ($8). While this gave us a pretty good spread over the starters - handy on a first visit - the extra spring rolls were a dry and bland mistake, while the onion fritter and lamb kebab were delicious and left us wanting more. The menu at Copper Kitchen is unmistakably dominated by the cuisine of the north (the friendly manager is from Delhi), but there are also a few interesting southern touches, so for our shared main we opted for the Goan fish curry ($22.90), a lightly spiced barramundi with tamarind and coconut cream. It seems unlikely that you would be offered a barra at a beachside caf¨¦ in Goa, but who cares! This was bloody delicious, and ample for two. Trev added a side of fresh chopped chilli, just to make the veins pop a little, and then cooled down with the recommended pineapple raita ($6), which was the perfect complement to a very good dish. The limited dessert options were particularly limited on this night to just one - the homemade kulfi mango ice cream ($6.90). Fortunately, it too was very good, the perfect palate cleanser to conclude a brief, but happy first encounter with Copper Kitchen. The verdict: At night this basic shopfront spreads itself over Covid-safe distanced tables in front of adjoining businesses, creating a pleasant kerbside ambience on Noosa’s most interesting eat street. If you like your tucker

SPORT NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

The storms bring the bite With a weekend of wild weather across the state seeing massive power outages, downed trees and flooding rain it comes as no surprise conditions have changed. Offshore has been very quiet due to rough, windy weather, however some charters made the effort to head out to grounds around North reef. The fishing was actually very good despite the current and chop. Many anglers boated small jewfish, tuskies, sweetlip, cod and snapper. For any anglers struggling in current to get their gear down then take a look at braid. You can still run long mono leaders for stretch but braid is so thin it cuts through strong current, which reduces the need to use big sinkers. Surf fishing continues to provide anglers with a great mixed bag. Daytime fishing has seen the odd tailor, bream in the mid 30cm range, Dart over 45cm and whiting in the mid 30cm size range. These fish will all take small worm baits or pillie and pipi baits on light mono lines. Evening fishing still has jewfish on the bite but these are becoming smaller as we push closer to the hotter weather. When casting big baits for jewies be sure to use a snelled rig with some bait wrap. Bait wrap keeps baits bound for better casting and it reduces the chances of smaller fish running away with fresh baits. The Morton Bay squid and our fresh mullet is a must if chasing this species. The Noosa River has been a little quieter as the fish adjust to the freshwater coming down from the everglades. Fishing the lower estuary has seen some great tailor caught on surface in the lower estuary. The strong northerly winds earlier in the week saw bait pushed down and across the bar along with tailor. These fish have been actively feeding on the surface, making the Bassday Sugapen a firm favourite as well as the Atomic walker in the larger 80mm size. Flathead continue to be caught but the big girls appear to have moved on. We now have the better sized 50-55cm fish which offer the best eating and less likely to be full of roe. Again much like many other fish the lower estuary is the more popular area to fish and definitely has the cleaner water. Anywhere from the marina toward the mouth holds good flathead Targeting these fish on baits is pretty simple and lures can offer the newbie a great first target. Lures we see as consistent performers are Zerek tango shads in various dive depths, Berkley Shimma Shad and Atomic Plazos Prong soft plastics. Let us know where you intend to fish and what gear you have so we can best kit you out. Other fish include mangrove jacks, which are more active at night, especially during the low light of the moon. These fish will use the lighter tidal flow to move away from structure and explore while looking for baitfish. When you target these fish you will find stepping up

If you are new to jack fishing or wish to tick a red dog off your list, be sure to ask how we do it and the knots used so you don’t get busted off. An interesting fact about jacks is they have to go offshore to breed. Always limit what you intend to keep as the same jack can get caught many times from the same spot if you let them go. Freshwater is ticking along nicely with bass coming from the edges as water temps rise. With SEQ water letting water go from Borumba in preparation for a big rain be careful while underway and go slow in the timber. The levels are at 80 per cent, making snag bashing for bass a great option while the saratoga are breeding. If after a new lure be sure to check out the new range of Jackalls now in stock.

TNT rattles the Snakes By Randall Woodley Saturday’s round of matches resulted in two wins for the Thunder teams and two losses. The highlight of these matches was the firstgraders defeating their long-time adversaries, the Caboolture Snakes, on their Grant Road oval ,which has become something of a fortress over the past few seasons. FIRSTS: The team travelled down to Caboolture where it had not had a win since the 2007/08 season. This was the last of the oneday matches in the season’s fixtures and, after winning the toss, TNT sent the Snakes in to bat on a really hard, dry wicket. The Snakes were without their captain, the ex-Bulls and the competition’s top run-scorer, and the Tewantin-Noosa boys were keen to make the most of the slightly-weakened opposition. Scott Aufderheide and Tom Freshwater opened strongly and, with off-spinner Dom Taylor coming on early and a direct hit run-out from Harrison Lea, Caboolture was struggling at 4/18 after 10 overs. Their batsmen dug in but TNT continued bowling tightly and fielding well, giving only two boundaries away in the first 30 overs. Then two more direct hit runouts - another to Harrison and one to Scott Aufderheide - underlined the team’s fielding performance. Captain Jake Dennien took two wickets through the middle, and Harrison Lea - coming on to bowl - grabbed two wickets in two balls in the 48th over to see Caboolture all out for 134. The best bowling figures for the visitors: Harrison Lea 2/2, Scott Aufderheide 2/17 off 10 overs, and Jake Dennien 2/35 off his 10. When Alex Bennett and Chris Wright came out to bat, it looked like they were playing on a different wicket. Seven boundaries in the first seven overs had TNT at 46 before Wright went for a run-a-ball 20. Then another two wickets fell to slow the scoring down to 3/64 before back-to-back partnerships of 30 saw the Thunder team over the line in the 38th over with five wickets lost. Top run scorers were Alex Bennett (41), continuing his good form, and Andrew Kratzmann who was not out on 31. This was a good finish for the team in the one-dayers but the boys are now looking forward to the twoday games commencing next Saturday against

Chris Wright plays a positive drive off the front foot. the Maroochydore Swans at Buderim. The First Grade ladder is very close, with Caboolture on 53 points, Maroochydore on 52, and the Thunder on 49. A win next match could see the TNT boys into second place or even at number one. THIRDS: Last Saturday the team played against Glasshouse at home in a day-night match using a pink ball. Glasshouse batted first but a couple of run-outs and a wicket to opener Brad Thompson had them on the back foot. They regained their composure and, despite losing wickets regularly, managed to put a competitive score of 9/169 on the board after the 40 overs. Best bowlers for TNT were Thompson 3/33 off his eight overs and Ben Giddy 3/26, also off eight. Batting second with day turning to night is always difficult, and the Thunder boys strug-

gled to put worthwhile partnerships together. At the end of the match TNT was 10 runs short, which was a disappointing result. Top scorers for the home team were Blake Steel (28) and an aggressive 38 not out from Robbie Payton. Next Saturday the team is again at home, playing Maleny. FIFTHS: Thunder, playing at home, took on the top-of-the-table Maroochydore Swans in what was billed to be a season-defining game for the team. Losing the toss, TNT was sent into the field with the opening bowlers Mike ‘Rowdy’ Thomson and Luke Anstey both bowling a superb line and length that had the usually strong Swans opening bats struggling from the outset. With good support from the first and second bowling changes, Maroochydore clawed its way to a total of 6/164 off their 40 overs. Best bowling for TNT: Thomson 1/17, Anstey 1/22, and Steve Hill 2/20 each off their eight overs.

TNT, batting second, started slowly in the chase - losing both openers cheaply with Brendan Wright being caught by a freakish catch at deep point. The always-reliable Tony Watson provided some good glue to the line-up, enabling the axe-swinging veteran Kent Officer to tame the Swans’ bowlers with an unbeaten 65. Naveen Chand chimed in with a wellplayed, quickfire 20 that got TNT into the run rate lead when bad light stopped play with 10 overs to go, and six wickets in hand, giving TNT a well-deserved win. Next week the team is at home again, playing Cooroy. Training is held at Read Park each Tuesday and Thursday night at 5.30pm. Although the club has four senior teams competing in the matches each weekend, any new players who wish to attend training would be welcome.

Bright-ening their lives Marc Bright describes himself as a ‘joyologist’ and, yes, it’s a real word. It means a person whose main purpose is to bring joy to others. And Marc has brought loads of joy to hundreds of disabled Sunshine Coast people through the game of golf. A former professional golfer, Bright has made it his life’s work to introduce disabled men and women to golf, in the sure knowledge it will improve their confidence, give them purpose, and allow them to have fun. He gained the support of Cooroy Golf Club, where he is a member, and his band of All Abilities golfers now meets there every Monday to practice their games. “We look forward to it,” he said. “Each week about 20 players turn up, often with their carers. We all have fun and don’t get too worried about things.” They learn the basics of golf, the rules and etiquette of the game and, because Marc’s interests are wide and varied, other things like indigenous culture, the plant and wildlife that abounds on the golf course, and how better to interact socially.Marc tells the story of Matty, a disabled man who, when he joined the group, found it difficult to walk and to communicate. “You should see him now,” Marc said. “He’s walking everywhere, having a hit with us, and he’s made some great friends.” Cooroy members have taken the All Abilities players to heart, often joining in to provide instruction, and caddying for the group when they play a few holes. And tomorrow (Saturday, 14 November) they’ll show their support in a practical way when they take part in a fundraising day at Cooroy. About 50 Cooroy members and up to 30 All Abilities golfers will play together in a very special morning competition, followed by a sausage sizzle lunch and presentation. The day begins at 8.30am. Noosa pro in the mix Noosa pro Simon Tooman shot a final round 68 to be third in the Australian PGA Seniors Championship at Richmond, north of Sydney. Tooman, who had been runner-up in the Blackheath Legends Pro-Am a few days earlier, played consistently for a four-under par total of 206 - five strokes behind winner, Andre Stolz. Brad Burns, of Yandina Creek, was sixth after rounds of 70, 68 and 70, while fellow Sunshine Coaster Glenn Joyner (72, 73, 68) was 15th. Scott bounces back in top form Adam Scott, fully recovered from his bout with Covid-19 and all the better for an impressive hit-out in last week’s Houston Open in Texas, is leading Australia’s challenge for the US Masters at Augusta this weekend. Scott, 40, who spent much of the year at his Sunshine Beach home, tested positive for coronavirus last month and spent the mandatory 10-day period quarantining in a Los Angeles hotel, practising his putting on a mat, then at a house. “Fortunately for me, the symptoms weren’t too bad and I was really only feeling below par for a day or so and then started feeling a lot better,” Scott said. He said he was utterly surprised by the test result. “I had no symptoms at the time I tested positive, but I developed some symptoms about 12 hours later, and I had a slight fever for 24 hours and a headache and then that kind of passed. Then I continued to get better. “I was in the hotel there in LA for six days. Once I was sure I was healthy and not kind of just feeling okay, I investigated finding a house by myself for the next four or five days to isolate just so I could go outside and get some fresh air. So I drove myself to a house. And again, didn’t have any contact with anyone until my 10 days of isolation was up.’’ He doesn’t know where or how he picked up the virus. Fortunately, none of his family or inner circle were impacted, and Scott said 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 November, 2020

This journey for length has been continually fuelled by golf club manufacturers, who have searched for ways to feed the golfer’s desire of it hitting longer. Sadly, we always rate a golf club on its ability to hit the ball further and not straighter. Many great golf courses have even changed their layouts to combat the evolution of a longer golf shot by making the holes longer. But is longer better for the majority of golfers? Not always. For most golfers, direction should far outweigh the need to hit the ball longer. Generally speaking, by keeping the ball in play more, you’ll have less penalty shots in your rounds which makes for lower scores. For example, the longer you hit the ball, the wider your misses will be. That’s why the cagey, more experienced golfers in our clubs are always down the middle and very rarely lose a ball. So when you’re next in the market for a new driver, the best driver for you will be the one where the miss is still respectable. Don’t necessarily buy it because it’s longer, but because it’s straighter. Peter Heiniger, of Heiniger Golf, is the head PGA teaching professional at Noosa Springs.

Racing on the hill

Noosa Beach Classic Car Club president Mike Rider with his Lotus at a previous hillclimb.

Off and racing up the hill.

Hill climb drivers only The Noosa Hillclimb began as an idea in 1996. Ahead of a drivers-only race to be staged this weekend, founding member and vice-president Rob van Wegen recounts the history of the event regarded as the country’s toughest hillclimb... It was in 1996, I had to go to Cooroy and decided to drive up the old main road, which is Gyndier Drive, instead of the boring new road up the big hill. An idea sprang up to investigate the possibility of holding a hillclimb event on this marvellous 3.3 kilometre old road, which was no longer used, other than to dump rubbish, and for the lads to hoon. A video of the section proposed was made and presented to the Historic Racing Car Club

of Queensland. They had the expertise to run events and the Noosa Car Club and its members were to prepare the track. Council was approached and, after some meetings and lots of drawings to explain our plans, we were given the go-ahead for a one-event trial. The huge task of preparing began, with many members and many working bees. This involved many hours clearing rubbish and cutting back the undergrowth that had crept in from years of neglect. The road was also in need of patching in many places. Concrete blocks were made from leftover jobs at the Sellars Concrete plant. Member Bob Haines made moulds for them and, as they were made, they were placed on the most critical bends with big drop-offs. A one-kilometre section was chosen as the most

exciting for the time trial events. This grew to 1.5 kilometres after the first event. A pit area was handed over to us by the National Parks and we turned a virtual rubbish dump into a nice park, where all the competitors and race cars could congregate. The hillclimb has the reputation as Australia Toughest Hillclimb and competitors come from all over the state to challenge ‘The Hill’. There are 10 grandstands at 14 of the various corners and a bus to transport people up and down the hill, as well as a walking track all the way up to turn 10. The corners are never more than 20 metres from view, so spectators can see the action as they walk the track. We have up to 150 cars competing and the action

is continual. The event runs twice each year. Winter and Summer. The road has now become an asset to the community, being used daily by bike riders, walkers and skaters. It is part of the Noosa Triathalon course. After lobbying to council, the road is now closed to all vehicular traffic, with bollards and gates - all in all, a very proud achievement for Noosa Beach Classic Car Club. This weekend - 14 and 15 November - Noosa Beach Classic Car Club will host the Summer Hill Challenge at Gyndier Drive, Tewantin. Due to Covid, it is a ‘closed event’, open only to drivers, not spectators.There will be an eclectic mix of more than 130 cars set to run up the extended 1.5-kilometre course.

Good Shepherd certainly makes an impressive splash The water polo program at Good Shepherd has been growing in popularity and the hard work and dedication has paid off. As early as Year 4, students are introduced to flipper ball, a modified version of water polo, as part of the Junior HPE program and Junior Years SCISSA (Sunshine Coast Independent School Sports Association) which then progresses to water polo in Years 5 and 6. This year saw the college field nine teams across Years 6 to 12 in the Sunshine Coast Schools water polo competition, three of which went on to produce great results in what was a turbulent season. Both the Intermediate girls A Maroon team and the Intermediate boys A team, made up of Year 9 and 10 students, won their respective grand finals held at St Andrews Anglican College Aquatic Centre. The girls team played against St John’s and after trailing by two points in the fourth quarter (2-4), team tactics were quickly modified resulting in a nail-biting finish. Good Shepherd shot three consecutive goals to win by one in the last minute of the game (5-4). This Intermediate Girls A Maroon team remains undefeated for the third year in a row. The boys’ team had a convincing win against a very competitive St Andrew’s Anglican College team with Augie Korac and Smith Connors working well together to score the majority of the goals (8-2). Water Polo coordinator Meagan Turner said: “The intermediate teams have been a very strong and close knit group this year, with two of the teams proving their dominance by finishing the rounds undefeated. “We are very happy that the hard work and

We are looking forward to another great competition in 2021”. The open first boys’ team completed its season in September, with a narrow loss (87) in the last few seconds of their grand final

against Matthew Flinders. Craig Moore, the coach of the boys’ team, praised the efforts of his team. “The boys fought extremely hard and showed great grit - it’s always a great competition when they play against Matthew Flinders. They are already looking forward to

a rematch next season,” he said. With the majority of players being in Years 9 and 10, these young players still have a few years of competition ahead of them and are looking towards the 2021 season with excitement and anticipation. Friday, 13 November, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 53

Three-time Olympian (1908, 1920 and 1924) Frank Beaurepaire – businessman and leader of the 1956 Olympic bid.

In the lead-up to 1956 By Ian Jobling One year after World War II, a group of Victorians banded together to seek the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne. The Victorian Olympic Council (VOC) had reserves of the equivalent of less than $13 when it reconvened in June 1946, the first meeting in seven years. It is not surprising, then, that there was much laughter when RonaId Aitken moved a motion for the VOC to apply for Melbourne to host an Olympic Games. However, the motion was accepted - unanimously. Edgar Tanner, secretary-treasurer of the VOC, forwarded the proposal to the Australian Olympic Federation (AOF) the next month, and then asked the IOC how to proceed with the bid. Tanner gained support from the then Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Sir James Connelly, and Sir Frank Beaurepaire, a former Lord Mayor. Beaurepaire’s public profile in Australia and in the International Olympic movement was a key factor in the success of Melbourne’s bid. He had won three silver and three bronze medals at Olympic Games (1908, 192O and 1924), and had been an official at the 1932 Olympics. Following his return from the LA Games, he developed his tyre business utilising the brand name ‘Olympic’. When he assumed the presidency of the VOC in May 1947, Beaurepaire was instrumental in urging the Melbourne City Council to establish an invitation committee comprising influential media and businessmen. Lord Mayor Connelly announced an application would be made to the IOC in May 1947 to host the XVI Olympiad and, in January 1948, an invitation was sent to the IOC for consideration at its meeting in St Moritz in Switzerland. Copies of an extravagant ‘Invitation Book’, with additional copies bound in either suede or merino lamb’s wool, were sent to all IOC members, international sports administrators and public figures. The book outlined reasons why Melbourne should become an Olympic Games host: Australia was only one of four nations to attend every summer Olympics and consequently it was the senior Olympic country in the southern hemisphere; if the Olympics were truly ‘world’ games, it was time for them to be held in the southern hemisphere; and, with the development of pressurised aircraft, the 30 hours’ travel to Melbourne was comparable with other venues. The invitation book also claimed that Melbourne’s bid had the “active interests of all athletic organisations, government and the people”. To counter the criticism that athletes in the northern hemisphere would be compet54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 November, 2020

Frank Beaurepaire used his Olympic successes to promote his tyre company. ing ‘out of season’, it was suggested that this was normal situation for southern hemisphere athletes. President of the IOC, Sigfrid Edstrom, commented he had been impressed by the vigour and capacity of Australians when he visited there, stating he would meet with the Melbourne Invitation Committee during the 1948 Olympic Games in London. Beaurepaire was quoted in the Melbourne Argus of 28 October, 1948 stating the ‘betting odds’ as “Melbourne - even money; Buenos Aires 6/4 against; Detroit 2/l; all others Buckley’s chance.” There was also speculation at this time that, if Melbourne did not get the Games in 1956, it was certain to get them in 1960, “provided it kept up the propaganda work”. Frank Beaurepaire’s efforts were extraordinary. For example, he organised the delivery of Australian food and wine to the London Lord Mayor’s Banquet in 1948, which in ration-ridden England was much appreciated. However, gift-giving to IOC members has a long history but in one instance it almost backfired. A case of Australian wine sent by Beaurepaire to Chicago as a gift to the newly-elected president of the IOC, Avery Brundage, to be delivered to his personal residence. This was a ploy, which led to a protracted period of correspondence between Brundage and the Illinois Liquor Board. From the amount correspondence located in the ‘Brundage Collection’ of personal papers, about this ‘gift’, it was clearly not a positive endeavour. Although it was expected the IOC would decide which city would host the 1956 Olympic Games at the London Olympics of 1948, the decision was postponed until the IOC members met the following year in Rome. Australians lobbied extensively during the 1948 Olympic Games, with Beaurepaire and Connelly actively promoting Melbourne’s case in London and Europe for almost three months.

The proposed Olympic Stadium, as portrayed in the ‘bid book’ to the IOC. It was to be built at the Agricultural Showgrounds in the suburb of Flemington. Beaurepaire and the other members of the Melbourne delegation were the last to present their city’s case to the IOC in Rome in April 1949. Six United States cities were bidding, with Detroit and Los Angeles the main contenders. Other bidding cities were Buenos Aires, Mexico City and London. A total of 41 IOC members voted in the fourth round; and Melbourne won narrowly 21 votes to 20 secured by Buenos Aires. ‘Melbourne Gets the Games’ was front page news in the Victorian press when it was announced on 30 April, 1949. This should have completed the story of the Melbourne bid, but it didn’t because Melbourne subsequently came close to losing the Games. The strategy of the Melbourne Invitation Committee before ‘decision day’ had been to proceed with anything likely to persuade the IOC to award the Games to Melbourne. The extravagant plans for a new Olympic stadium and swimming pool complex were two examples. The Olympic Organising Committee vacillated over the site for the main stadium - Olympic Park, Princes Park, the Royal Agricultural Society Showgrounds, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) were all mooted. Avery Brundage expressed deep concern over the lack of progress. On the day Brundage visited the MCG (the Olympic Stadium) in April 1955, “there were only five workers on site trying to do the work of 100 men” because of an industrial dispute. At the end of his tour, Brundage was quoted as stating “I can tell you that more than ever the world thinks that a mistake has been made.” Brundage lamented that in the six years since Melbourne had been awarded the Games at Rome in 1949 there had been “nothing but

squabbling, changes of management and bickering”. He regarded Melbourne’s record in its preparations for the Games as deplorable “a matter of promises and promises”. Brundage intimated that even less than 18 months from the opening ceremony designated for 22 November, 1956, several other cities (he seemed to favour Philadelphia) would be prepared to stage the 1956 Games. Avery Brundage’s scathing criticism seemed to work - it galvanised action and greater co-operative effort among the individuals, committees and agencies. Another problem which surfaced for the 1956 Olympics was the revelation that Australia’s strict quarantine laws would prevent equestrian events being staged in Melbourne. They were held instead at Stockholm - the first time Olympic events were held in more than one country. The quarantine continued to be an issue for future bids by Australian cities. Despite the difficulties and controversies, the Games of the XVI Olympiad were staged most successfully and have been heralded as ‘the friendly Games’ ever since. The proposals for Olympic Games in 1972 and 1988, in two different cities, will be considered in Noosa Today next week, along with a bid city closer to the Sunshine Coast following the success of the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

How can we miss you... ... If you won’t go away? I’m sure after the tedious and often infuriating wait for election results in America, we’ve all heard enough about politics for the time being. But I’ve got so much anger burning inside me right now - tempered only by the joy of seeing real, rational people once again in charge of the free world - that I have to let a little out. Trump lost. In the end the electoral college margin will be about the same for Joe Biden as it was for Trump in 2016, which is to say in Trumpspeak it’s a landslide; in the more measured tongue of the President-elect, it’s a workable majority. Yes, 70 million Americans voted for four more years of divisive and dangerous stupidity in the White House, but 75 million said enough is enough. There is a clear-cut winner and loser here, although maybe they see it differently in a Trump casino or in the White House bunker, which are both eerily similar shelters from reality. And as fast as the Trump fantasy factory throws out the baseless and spurious court challenges, they are being thrown on to the bonfire of Trump’s vanity. Quite clearly he doesn’t like it, but it is the measure of the man that he seems prepared to take down every sacred democratic institution of the United States as he sits alone in his playpen trying to deny that the people have spoken. The only reality that Trump understands is the one claimed by reality TV, from whence his public persona came, and hopefully will soon return. Has anyone ever seen such a moronic, insulting and petulant display from an alleged leader of the free world? When it comes to world leaders throwing wobblies, you have to look to Adolf Hitler and Idi Amin to even come close, and sadly the outgoing President of the United States has sunk to their level in his lack of respect for democratic process. Trump has no friends left in the Republican party, half of which deserted him a long time ago, and Rupert Murdoch has no further use for him. It’s time for him to go quietly into the night, but of course he won’t. The biggest laugh I got last week was from a recirculated video parody of Trump being dragged out of a nursery playpen, clutching at furniture and howling at his minder as tiny children, who would never behave so badly, looked on in horror. Funny as hell and just as scary because it is exactly what is happening right now. Just go, Donald. The world has had a gutful. Here endeth the rant. Honky’s and Sultan’s saved... for now If you’ve ever been to that wonderful playground of waves, the Maldives, you’ll know that Honky’s and Sultan’s, those back to back points across the water from Male International, are the island chain’s most consistent and most crowded breaks. In the last decade or so, most surfers who can will either bypass these breaks completely, or just use them to get the feet in the wax before venturing on to the less crowded atolls. In half a dozen visits to the Maldives I’ve only surfed the hard-breaking left of Honky’s once, and managed to snag a few long ones in a pack of mostly local surfers. But I haven’t been back - happy to leave that one to the locals, many of whom have access to only this surfing area in a chain full of great surf breaks. This is why I was delighted to hear from Swellnet this week that Maldivian surfers have finally won an eight-year battle to protect their access to the breaks from being closed by foreign developers. Swellnet’s Stu Nettle reported: “In 2012 it was announced that a foreign development company named Telos Investments had paid US $5 million for the lease of Thanburudhoo Island at Kaafu Atoll, which included exclusive access to the waves breaking off its southern tip, Honky’s and Sultan’s. “Over the next three years, Maldivian surfers fought that battle, till in 2015 then-President

“I’m sure I put that evidence somewhere.”

Sultan’s and Honky’s, Maldives. Abdulla Gayoom suspended the development. “For the next five years a cloud of uncertainty hung over Thanburudhoo. As foreign investment turbocharged development in other parts of the island chain, local surfers waited for the next proposal at Thanburudhoo. “Last Thursday, however, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih announced that Thanburudhoo Island had been granted protected area status. This doesn’t protect Thanburudhoo from all development, though if any were to

‘FEAR OF MISSING OUT’ A MARKET DRIVER ERLE LEVEY FEAR of missing out (FOMO) is driving locals who are realising that the border closure has been giving them a significant short-term advantage over southern city buyers. However, some Sydneysiders and Melburnians who can now work from home haven’t let this impede their newfound freedom, with sales off high-quality video inspections not uncommon. In his annual report market analyst John McGrath said the Sunshine Coast, in particular, was benefitting from this trend with the lowest number of listings in a decade. This has resulted in exceptional prices for prestige homes in Sunshine Beach and waterfront apartments in Noosa Heads sold to interstate buyers. That was seen this week with a Hastings St beachfront apartment selling at auction for $9.8m, thought to be the record Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

freed remote workers. People relocating to the regions are likely to seek larger, yet more affordable houses with more rooms to ensure a harmonious 24/7-at-home lifestyle. In a short list of hot spots nationally, McGrath has included Sunrise Beach. It doesn’t attract the headlines or celebrity buyers as neighbouring Sunshine Beach, he said. And it hasn’t had the same rate of growth that Sunshine has experienced in the past three years, with the median house price about 45 percent cheaper at $975,000. “However, things are changing with original beach houses being renovated and new listings becoming scarce due to its relative affordability and the appeal of its comfortable beach lifestyle, surf scene and proximity to Noosa National Park.’’ PRIME POSITION What a week it has been for Noosa property sales with a Hastings St beachfront apartment selling at auction

for $9.8m, in what is thought to be a Queensland record for a residential property at auction. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 11 La Mer, 37 Hastings St, was marketed by Shane McCauley and Frank Milat of Richardson & Wrench Noosa. There were 11 registered bidders following hundreds of inquiries from all over Australia, Shane said. From Victoria, Sydney, Noosa and Brisbane. Bidding started with a strong $8.4m that brought it down to four people. There was a young man on the phone to his father but the winner was a Melbourne couple who bought it sight unseen. However, they had been long-term clients of the agents who were able to talk as well as walk them through the apartment with videos. “Our prestige market is certainly spiking at the moment,’’ Shane said. “We are selling beachfront at about $42,000 a square metre.

residential price at auction for Queensland. We also saw riverfront properties in Tewantin achieving high prices - close to $4m for a near-new riverhouse and $2.75m for a riverfront house originally built in 1938. While the Hastings St apartment went to an interstate buyer, sight unseen, the Tewantin properties were snapped up by locals. McGrath said the Queensland Government had lent a helping hand to the Queensland tourism industry by enticing sporting teams to relocate during the pandemic. These included the Melbourne Storm NRL team, several interstate AFL teams and the entire Super Netball series13, with games being played in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. While the Gold Coast has become a hub for Australia’s tech entrepreneurs since the launch of their innovation hub in 2017, the Sunshine Coast is building a reputation for education, health and well-being. Yet the big game-changer, McGrath said, was the new airport runway that opened in June 2020, enabling direct flights on larger planes to more destinations across Australia, Asia and the Western Pacific. The new runway also opens greater export opportunities for local producers in the future. “As a seachange destination, Queensland is likely to benefit most from the increasingly permanent work from home trend. “The irresistible combination of new work flexibility, the best lifestyle in Australia and affordable housing makes the state more enticing than ever as a prime interstate migration destination. “COVID-19 and advanced technology, which has freed Australians from their city workplaces, is set to encourage a great regional relocation ahead as people seek the fresh air and space of regional areas.’’ Since the pandemic began, major regional centres have outperformed their capital city counterparts, with local home values well-insulated due to distance from the afflicted capital cities and rising demand from a growing group of newly-

“Noosa is seen as a safe place to invest with healthy returns but many say they just cannot get there due to border restrictions. The appeal of 11 La Mer was Noosa’s beachfront but mostly the unrivalled position with uninterrupted views from Little Cove to the river mouth. On Saturday Gillian McCauley saw four registered bidders at the three-bedroom, two-plus bathroom apartment 1 Da Vinci, Duke St, Sunshine Beach. One of two house-sized apartments in the complex, it sold for $2.150m. RIVERFRONT APPEAL It was like Christmas in the park as people gathered on the riverbank, waiting for the auction of 49 Hilton Esp, Tewantin, on Saturday. Laguna Real Estate’s Warren Evans had 11 registered bidders as joggers, cyclists and boaties passed by the high-set house originally built in 1938 and which had remained in the same family over the years. It was a picnic atmosphere as neighbours gathered on their balconies, those from down the road stopped in for a look while on their fitness walks. As the clock ticked over midday, auctioneer Justin Voss announced there were now 13 registered bidders. A $2m start saw $50,000 rises to $2.2m, then $10,000s and $5000s until it hit $2.750m where it was knocked down to local buyers. IMMEDIATE RESPONSE A four-bedroom, two-bathroom riverfront house with pool at 41 Hilton Esp, Tewantin, has sold in a matter of days from being listed. It is believed the contract price is close to $4m. Built over two levels and commanding a prized position on a corner block, Noosa Estate Agents Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville listed it on the Friday night and received more than 70 direct inquiries over the weekend. “It did not stop,’’ Scott said. “We had inspections on the Monday and a signed, unconditional contract by 8am Tuesday.’’ Designed by Noosa architect Tim Ditchfield to highlight the river outlook and make the most of its ideal aspect, the house was superbly crafted by awardwinning builder Chris Smith.

The floor plan provides flexibility with dual living zones spread over the two levels. It’s a modern take on a river house that offers views yet also cooler, quieter areas inside. There are decks on both levels, and louvre windows throughout to ensure crossbreezes. While there was interest was from Sydney and Melbourne, it was a local buyer that understood the location better. “It’s amazing,’’ Scott said. “When you stand on the deck you are so close to everything yet have this tranquil outlook across the river to the trees on the far bank. It’s so relaxing. “When you have something like this designed and built so beautifully, it is easy for people to fall in love with it.’’ RIVER PRECINCT OFFERING Nathan Howie at Noosa Estate Agents has been getting conditional interest on the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 4/59 Elizabeth St, Noosaville, but will be continuing to auction on Saturday, November 14, at this stage. “It’s an opportunity to enter into that river precinct, Nathan said. “One street back from the river, and a great footprint for someone to work with.’’ That could be an investor or owneroccupier. Built in 2002, Riverlea is a pet-friendly complex with other owner-occupiers. This apartment has plenty of indooroutdoor living and a huge exclusive-use back yard. ALL EYES ON LITTLE COVE The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 12 Mitti Street, Noosa Heads, has gathered a lot of attention throughout the campaign leading up to auction on Saturday at midday. Rebekah Offermann at Tom Offermann Real Estate has been dealing with inquiries all week in the frantic build-up to the auction. “It’s the only house available in all of Little Cove,’’ Rebekah said. “It’s a much adored part of Noosa with only 97 houses in it. “Typically, we only see one available at a time.’’ Most interest has by Facetime from interstate, also Brisbane and clients who have able to come up.

“It’s very private,’’ Rebekah said. “It feels like you are surrounded by nature. “When you are in the house you just see greenery.’’ The Tim Ditchfield design features three huge living areas yet has a compact footprint to give low maintenance. FIRST TIME ON MARKET A second Little Cove auction is to be held on Saturday, a three-bedroom, twobathroom apartment at 7/18 Park Rd, at 1pm. Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate said that understandably, the apartment has attracted a lot of attention. “Being in that position, you are second only to the First Point units. “There has been interest from some locals, really from everywhere ... Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane. “Many are looking at it as a second home residence.’’ There are eight apartments in the complex and this is at the top level. Built in 1982, it has been with the original owners until now. “It takes markets like this for positions like this to become available at all,’’ Luke said. MULTIPLE OFFERS The six-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 2530sq m at 17 Habitat Pl, Noosa Heads, sold prior to auction for $2.2m with Jesse Stowers and Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate. “There was a lot of good interest and multiple offers,’’ Jesse said. “It was a price the vendors were very happy with. “A good campaign drew a lot of interest ... it worked for them.’’ Interest came from interstate and Brisbane but local buyers took it out. The size of the land and the location were strong drawcards.

ON THE COVER

BASKING IN THE PLEASURES OF PRIZED NOOSA HEADS PICTURE an impressive apartment with an invisible line between indoors and out, seemingly suspended over a white-sand beach, jetty and riverfront with bedazzling seascapes across the Noosa River to the North Shore and beyond to the Coloured Sands. Eyes south along the park-fringed Noosaville foreshore which stretches to the Everglades. Beyond is Mount Cooroy. Gull’s eye views of the azure waterways around Noosa Heads, river mouth and national parks are on the right. There is an air of sophistication indoors, a breezy overlay with a restrained beach-themed palette for furniture, art pieces and porcelain floor tiles, creating a deliberate holiday mood. It is particularly obvious in the wide living and dining space which has a total connection to the expansive undercover terrace. It starts on the south side, where numerous stands of palms address the privacy factor in a perfect fashion. It then wraps around and stretches over 11 metres on the northern side, providing the ultimate place for sundowners, celebrations, lunches and generally appreciating the good life. Those with a penchant to cook for such occasions, will feel at home in the U-shaped kitchen with stone covered bench-tops and breakfast bar, also every high-end whizz-bang appliance. Oh, and let’s not forget the hideaway bar. For those in the master bedroom, with its walk-in robe and ensuite, waking to those sensational views through the doors out to the terrace and wondering whether to kayak or go paddle boarding on the Noosa River or grab a bike and experience innumerable dedicated cycle tracks, marks the start of another brilliant day in paradise. Two bedrooms on the east side have built-in robes and share a bathroom which also has laundry facilities. Leave the car in its secure undercover space, stroll to some of Australia’s top restaurants in nearby Quamby Place, also Gympie Terrace, or walk to Hastings

Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park with its world recognised Surfing Reserve. Such are the pleasures of basking in a carefree, sun-splashed year-round idyllic playground. “Buyers will not compromise on having an exclusive Noosa Heads’ address,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate principal Tom Offermann and agent Luke Chen, who are taking the property to auction on Saturday, 28 November, 2020. “Amongst the hottest locations is riverfront real estate. Sundrenched through the year, it affords the convenience of living in the hub, safe in the knowledge the investment is underpinned by a neverending pool of future buyers also wanting the same.” Facts & Features: Apartment size: 144m2 About: End apartment with long, wide wrap-around balcony/terrace; secure lower level car space and lock-up storage; porcelain floor tiles; aircon. and fans; VJ-profile doors; laundry facilities in bathroom Kitchen: U-shaped with 3.5m breakfast bar; stone countertops and splashbacks; 2-pac cabinetry below; upper cabinetry with brushed aluminium and semi-transparent glass doors; soft close drawers; pantry; hideaway bar; Miele oven, cooktop, micro and integrated dishwasher; Westinghouse full fridge and bar fridge Inventory: fully inclusive Las Rias: small complex; private beach; private jetty; heated pool and spa; sauna; lift; on-site management; free Foxtel and Wi-Fi; tour desk; kayak and paddleboard hire Location: nearby Quamby Park and tennis courts, Quamby Place restaurants, liquor outlet, supermarket etc; walk to Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park and Surfing Reserve; Noosa Village; Gympie Terrace Noosaville riverfront restaurants, cafes and boutiques ●

EPITOME OF AN IDYLLIC FAMILY LIFESTYLE THERE is no doubting the instant appeal of a plum corner position in a prominent estate, especially when the impressive residence has an eye-catching streetscape and gardens, dotted with statuesque pandanas, foxtails, magnolias, and strelitzias. Admire the wide timber-framed glass front door as it pivots to reveal an elegantly restrained design, sandstone-hued ceramic floor tiles complemented by cedar shutters and high ceilings which allow natural light to drench the entire open plan living and dining spaces. Eyes are immediately drawn to the north-facing great outdoors, thanks to sliders which ’disappear’, bringing the wide covered terrace and the glistening aquamarine pool with water feature backdrop, into full view. With a built-in pizza oven and barbecue, the mind goes into overdrive when you think about the options for entertaining and family fun. The alfresco terraces are complemented by a classy U-shaped kitchen with black granite benchtops, top-shelf Belling appliances and a gas-strut servery window. In cooler weather it certainly maintains its usefulness. The highly effective outdoor heater is turned on and the space is reminiscent of a cosy outdoor room. A media/lounge room is a wonderful alternative space to relax, watch a movie or for the kids and their Xboxes. Unwind and get lost in the moment of the east wing’s master suite, or maybe it is a parent’s retreat. Look out to the garden and the sun terrace, soak in the ensuite spa, cool off in the shower with its pebble tiled flooring, and relax knowing there’s plenty of room in the walk-in robe for two people. In the west wing are three queen-size bedrooms. Each has built-in robes, share a family-size bathroom, and have windows looking out to green spaces. The fourth bedroom, closer to the front entry is currently used as an office. The laundry has a hideaway Robin Hood Ironing Centre, and additional storage is accessed via a pull-down ladder from the garage ceiling. “What an enviable unparalleled lifestyle desired by many but not always available,“ enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 5 December. “Until now. You only have to ask the neighbours and Noosa Waters’ residents why they love it so much. It is number one on so many fronts such as a friendly and peaceful, plus real estate in the area screams future prosperity. From the nineties it has been a whirlwind success story, attracting great architecture, spectacular homes and

quickly developing into one of the hottest residential developments in the Noosa region.“ Facts & Features: 2

BEACHFRONT PROPERTY RARELY FOR SALE ‘SANDCASTLES’ are larger, absolute beachfront apartments at the end of Hastings Street and immediately next to the National Park. Of the exclusive apartments that are right on the beach, the most in demand are those on the ground floor that have dual access such that you can walk straight from your apartment to the pool and then onto the beach. Hastings Street living is all about this absolute-ontothe beach access. Completely refurbished, unlike many apartments that are setup for weekend holiday accommodation, this apartment could be happily lived in for months on end. The foodie owners, while loving the plethora of fine, nearby restaurants, realise that from time to time you might want to create your own culinary joy. Accordingly, the fullsize, fully equipped kitchen can ensure that lunch on the balcony does not go wanting. With a foldout sofa bed, not only can you invite family to stay, but the dining and covered balcony areas allow for a degree of separation that few one-bedroom apartments can offer. Renting unusually well in this small wellmanaged complex, this is a property that is in demand, both now and in the future. If you are looking for a liveable one-bedder right on the beach on Hastings Street, this apartment should be given careful consideration. ●

HEART OF HOME AND GARDEN ARTISTRY IF you are lured by affordability and an appealing lifestyle, by George this unmissable beauty on a coveted corner, framed by innovative gardens will enthral by night and blossom by day. Open the front gate from the landscaped nature strip, step across the retro circular stones into the north-facing first garden ‘room’. Immediately cultivate a sunny state of mind albeit Palm Springs with breeze blocks, native grass trees, tropical magnolias, rockeries, succulents, and ‘grass’ around a hippy-style fire pit and rustic railway sleepers made into benches and a bar. It is all about no-nonsense fun, that is for sure, even at night when the gardens evoke a twilight glow. The ambience is replicated under the covered terrace. The western side morphs into a long bougainvillea-entwined colonnade, almost extending to the second entrance. Indoors embraces the home’s position and references the landscaping in the tones and textures of its materials palette and there is an inimitable sense of calm and serenity throughout the natural lightfilled open-plan living and dining spaces. Floors are lime-washed, doors are VJprofile and the galley-style kitchen features driftwood-hued cabinetry and stone bench tops in cool crisp white, as well as all-new premium appliances. An adjacent scullery/ laundry is the perfect addition for those with a penchant for cooking. Another dimension to entertaining on the south side, is yet another garden ‘room’ albeit a secret garden with subtropical plantings and an Asian-inspired gazebo-style structure equipped with a barbecue. The generous master bedroom, with walk-through robe and ensuite has doors opening the front garden where native birds offer mellifluous choruses from ‘their’ bath. Two additional bedrooms (one has purposebuilt cabinetry and is currently used as an office) share a family-style bathroom. “The gardens were designed to complement this fantastic sub-tropical climate,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 5 December 2020, adding “as well as an extension of the house by way of usable outdoor rooms, complete with garden lighting for the twilight enjoyment and entertaining. “There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will capture your heart, and this could be the one.” Facts & Features: Land Size: 505m2 House Size: 184m2
