Schoolies here to party By Margaret Maccoll About 5000 school leavers descended on Noosa over the weekend for their end of school celebrations and while emergency services prepared for any consequence the teens have proved to be reasonably well behaved. Though the dumping of rubbish on Main Beach Saturday night led to it being shut and Nippers cancelled on Sunday morning while a clean up of rubbish and broken glass was completed. Mayor Clare Stewart said about 20 additional bins had since been sited at the beach for rubbish. “It is important that any visitors to our region respect the environment that we all hold so dear. It has been disappointing to see litter and glass left on the beach but I commend council staff and Queensland police for all their hard work in ensuring the beach is back to its pristine state as soon as possible,” she said.

Schools out forever.

Genial George By Phil Jarratt We introduce our Noosa Today Citizen of the Year campaign this issue with a double whammy for hardworking and creative George Gleeson, who has just completed Year 12 at Good Shepherd Lutheran College. Both Mayor Clare Stewart and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie independently nominated George in the Young Citizen of the Year (under

25) category for his work in leading a student team at Peregian Digital Hub in 3D printing 1000 face masks to be used by frontline health care workers at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. When contacted by Noosa Today this week, George was watching the sun set on Moreton Island during a schoolies’ break. “This is just awesome,” he said. We’re not sure if he meant the nomination or the sunset. Maybe both.

Noosa Today is looking for nominations for both Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year of people who in this difficult year have shown true community values, either generally or in their specific field of work, sport or passion. These might be drawn from the fields of the arts, sport, education, health, charity, business, tourism, Indigenous affairs, the environment, aged care, government, or somewhere else we haven’t thought of.

We are looking for two people - one just starting out in life, one with considerable life experience - who have exhibited a generosity of spirit and/or inspired others with their commitment to excellence. We are asking for nominations from you, our readers, and from a panel of community leaders. For more details and other nominations see our main article on page 3.

Schoolies made Noosa their destination of choice in a surprise move for most locals. So far it hasn’t been the destructive experience some expected. It may not have been what schoolies expected either. The emergency services and Noosa Council deserve a huge pat on the back for going over and above their normal duties to manage the crowds and keep everyone safe while allowing the kids some space to let off steam. On the whole the school leavers I have met this week have been nice kids who just wanted to have a holiday in a lovely place and hang out with their friends. There have been a few funny incidences, probably many. I was amused when the police felt like parents when they turned the lights off on Main Beach and the schoolies all went home. It was funny when someone gave one of the police horses a red frog and it loved it and was searching for more. What has been a heartwarming development this week is the return of a koala to the national park.It has felt like such a loss walking through the park over the past couple of weeks knowing all the koalas had left.

Nominate Noosa’s best By Phil Jarratt Good Shepherd graduate George Gleeson got off to a flyer this week when both the mayor and deputy mayor independently nominated him for Noosa Today Young Citizen of the Year. This is what Mayor Clare Stewart said: “At the height of the pandemic, George Gleeson, vice captain at Good Shepherd Lutheran College for 2020, led the charge, along with some other high school students, to develop facial shields or masks for our frontline workers at the Peregian Digital Hub. It is my understanding that they produced over 1000, which were sent directly to our frontline workers in the medical arena. As a community we are so incredibly grateful for their hard work, support and help in a time of crisis.” Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie: “George Gleeson emerged from the Peregian Digital Hub’s talent development program to volunteer his time to build facial protection equipment for medical workers during the crisis and help other young people improve their IT skills. He led a team of four students over six weeks who established and ran a 3D printing farm to produce face protection shields for medical workers during a major shortage, and George worked directly with the Sunshine Coast University Hospital to develop the design for the faceshield. “George and the others worked shifts and in the first few days, George actually slept in a swag at the Hub to tend the printers,” Cr Wilkie added. He has provided generous service which has made a tangible difference to this community, while setting an inspiring example to others through using technology to solve real-world problems.” Mayor Stewart nominated St Vincent De Paul president Beryl Rowan for Citizen of the Year. She said: “Around six years ago when involved in human resources, Beryl was alerted to a social injustice and so she approached the St Vincent de Paul Society to see if she could be of assistance and they could make use of her skills. Now, as president of the Noosa Confer-

ence of Vinnies, her role during the pandemic has been one of co-ordination and also assistance in taking calls from people seeking emergency relief. As a community we are very grateful for all the support that Beryl provides for the most vulnerable.” Former councillor and now Zero Emissions Noosa chair Vivien Griffin nominated former mayor Noel Playford as Citizen of the Year, citing his lifetime of service to the community. She said: “Albert Einstein once said that if he could see further, it was because he was standing on the shoulders of giants. So it is today that the remarkable community of Noosa stands on the shoulders of the four decades of unwavering public service given by Noel Playford, our former mayor. “We must never take for granted what makes Noosa special, to think that the lack of high rise, the beautiful North Shore, the remarkable environment, the population cap planning scheme, or even the de-amalgamation of Noosa came about because, ‘of course that should happen’. In fact these things only occurred through hard won battles, led from the front by Noel Playford, and then frequently defended vigorously in the courts. At times both Noel and his family paid a high price. Many politicians take the easy road, run focus groups, look for the safe compromise. It

Christmas convoy connects Noosa A festive convoy of Christmas cheer will come to life over four nights through Noosa this December. The Connecting Noosa Christmas Convoy aims to bring the Christmas spirit to local families and recognise the efforts of our emergency services following one of the most challenging 12 months. “It’s so exciting to be able to bring the festive cheer to the front yards of our residents,” Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said. The convoy is an initiative of Noosa Council with the support of Noosa’s local emergency services. Corporate partners HOT91 and Cricks Noosa have also jumped onboard.

Cr Stewart said the convoy aims to spread the Christmas cheer in a COVIDSafe way in what’s been a challenging year. “It’s unfortunate that many of the regular community Christmas events can’t go ahead due to the pandemic restrictions, but hopefully this will ensure we can all enjoy the Christmas spirit with our neighbours and family,” Cr Stewart said. The convoy runs from Monday December 7 to Thursday December 10. Maps of the routes will be available shortly on Council’s website and will be promoted via Council’s social media channels and HOT91. The convoy starts in Boreen Point and Cooroibah on Monday night December 7 and moves to Kin Kin, Cooran, Pomona and Co-

oroy on Tuesday. It travels through parts of Tewantin on Wednesday December 10, followed by the beachside suburbs of Peregian, Castaways and Sunrise Beach on Thursday afternoon December 11. Noosa Police Inspector Ben Carroll said it’s a thrill to be involved in such a unique COVIDSafe event. “We jumped at the chance to be part of the convoy because it’s a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas with our community,” he said. “Our officers and all emergency service providers have been tested through last year’s bushfires and during the pandemic shutdown.”

Santa checks in with Inspector Ben Carroll, Kent Mayne from QFES and Annette Morris from The Ambulance Service.

Noosa is party central From page 1 Police doubled their resources with mounted police, undercover agents and extra water police on duty for the Schoolies week. Red Frogs group were on hand to lend support to Schoolies, SES were ready for back up, Noosa Council officers provided a 24/7 surveillance and Noosa Surf Life Savers worked into the night to ensure water safety. Schoolies, mostly from Brisbane with others from the Gold Coast, Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast decided Noosa was the place to be this year for their celebrations in a school year like no other. Former Cannon Hill Anglican College student Nathan Langdon told Noosa Today it be-

came the destination of choice for him and his friends for a number of reasons. It was a nice place to come, it was cheaper than the Gold Coast which had cancelled it’s usual organised schoolie events and it was where their friends were going. Some students said it would have been nice for Noosa to have provided some entertainment but it wasn’t something they expected and they planned to make their own fun during the week. A group of All Hallows and St Hilda’s students said they felt regarding COVID it was a safer destination than the Gold Coast, it had been easy to find accommodation at Noosa and they had already made new friends here.

Red Frogs spokesman Andy Gourley said the schoolie numbers in Noosa didn’t compared to the 23,000-strong crowds generally attending Surfers Paradise and their behaviour had changed considerably over the years. “They’re more of a coffee and smashed avo set,“ he said. “There’s less alcohol. They look after each other more these days. But they’re definitely excited” Mr Gourley praised the efforts of Noosa Council and emergency services and attributed their quick response to being accustomed to organising major events.“We’re very impressed with how the Council got on the front foot. It’s like a New Year’s Eve response,“ he said.

“Noosa Council staff have been working tirelessly over the last month with Queensland Police, Hastings Street Assocation, Red Frogs, Qld Ambulance and Tourism Noosa to assist with the influx of shoolies,” Cr Stewart said. A health team from Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Services were also set up on Hastings Street to provide care to any distressed schoolies. Police maintained a highly visible presence across Noosa, non more so than mounted police officers sergeant Teala Muller and Idol and senior constable Amy Walkden and CJ. “The horses are very popular. They’re like celebrities,” Sgt Muller said.

Despite their magnificent appearance the very cool among crowds horses and their riders are an efficient police team, more than capable and equipped for all police enforcement. Noosa Police officer-in-charge acting senior sergeant Troy Cavell was reasonably pleased with schoolies’ behaviour over the weekend. A crowd of about 2500 gathered on Main Beach Saturday night. “There were no assaults, no rapes, no evictions. That’s pretty good for that many,“ Snr Sgt Cavell said, with only a few “tickets“ given out for underage drinking and nuisance behaviour. Schoolies travelled to the beach Saturday night in search of entertainment, but with none on offer, just milled around, some having snuck in a few drinks. Lifesavers extended their watch into the night. On Saturday lifesavers Adam McKane

and Vittoria Farmer were prepared to remain on watch as long as they were needed. After midnight police made the decision to turn off the lights to the beach. Acting Snr Sgt Cavell said the schoolies left the beach within about 20 minutes. We felt like parents turning the lights out, he said. On Sunday night an even bigger crowd hit the beach. Police enforced zero alcohol laws, confiscating bottles of alcohol from about 200 people during the evening and the crowd dispersed about 1am with no major incident. “We acknowledge that the year 12 cohort has had a tough hear and are entitled to let their hair down, but I would implore them to use a bin and clean up just as they would at home as well as be mindful and respectful of the many residents whom they may be staying near,“ Cr Stewart said.

IN BRIEF

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Campsite capacity By Abbey Cannan The Cooloola Coast saw an increased police and ranger presence around beach camp sites over the past week, with numbers expected to hit maximum capacity again this weekend. Police conducted land and water patrols from Inskip Point to Rainbow Beach, right down to Teewah Beach ensuring all school leavers remained safe whilst enjoying their end of year celebrations which began on November 20. Despite the large numbers, Inspector Pat Swindells from the Gympie Patrol Group said school leavers on the beach were very well behaved during the first weekend of Schoolies. “The high level of engagement between the police and everyone camping on the beach worked in our favour,“ he said. “We were providing a lot of education early on and guidance in relation to consumption of liquor and warning about unsafe driving practices. Plus we were letting them know that we had both marked and unmarked cars about so that helped us a lot in managing the beach.“ Inspector Swindells said camping grounds were at maximum capacity over the first weekend. “They had over 1500 up the beach both days and it quietened down quite a bit on Monday but next weekend it is back at maximum capacity again.“ He said they issued a number of infringement notices for drink driving and unsafe driving practices, but those being fined were not school leavers. “There’s been 30 infringement notices issued with only two in relation to Schoolies. On Sunday, 19 tickets were issued by the water police for marine infringements and 14 for traffic,

A 28-year-old Buddina man has died at Mountain Creek after the motorcycle he was riding crashed into a tree. Just after 7.30pm last night, the black Suzuki motorcycle was travelling along Karawatha Drive when it attempted to merge with traffic, lost control and hit a tree, west of the intersection with Lady Musgrave Drive. Witnesses stopped and rendered first aid and conducted CPR on the man before emergency services arrived. He died a short time later. Officers from the Forensic Crash Unit are continuing investigations.

Man Charged In Fatal Accident

Queensland Police, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and the Queensland Ambulance Service worked together to keep school leavers safe on the Cooloola Coast. but none of them were related to Schoolies.“ Unlike Noosa’s Main Beach, the largest gathering on the beach reached numbers of up to 100 young people at Teewah Beach. Inspector Swindells said the crowd was well behaved and dispersed after two hours. “I just want to thank the community for supporting us in trying to manage these young people and we will continue to provide education and guidance to them in relation to camping in our pristine areas,“ he said. Queensland Police in conjunction with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service rangers conducted compliance checks and reminded visitors of the need to display required permits. Mike Devrey, Manager of Compliance said rangers were also educating school leavers

about responsible behaviour in National Parks. “Most visitors to our national parks and recreation areas do the right thing, but rangers can issue fines for not having the necessary permits and for environmental and socially inappropriate behaviour,“ he said. “It is an offence in recreation areas to remove branches from trees or collect fallen branches for firewood in Queensland national parks, and people can be issued with a Penalty Infringement Notice (PIN). “As it is bushfire season, it is absolutely essential to make sure campfires are kept under control and are never abandoned. “People should always use water and not sand to extinguish a campfire, as the coals can smoulder beneath the sand.“

Boy, 15, charged with throwing rocks A boy has been charged following investigations into an incident where two jet ski riders allegedly had rocks thrown at their vessel from a bridge at Maroochydore. At 3.15pm on November 13, two 17-yearold boys were travelling on a jet ski eastbound along Cornmeal Creek when a group of people allegedly threw large rocks at them from the Duporth Avenue Bridge. The boys were forced to take evasive action and swerve, resulting in them colliding with one of the bridge pylons. The pair was thrown from the jet ski into the creek. The driver was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with a wrist injury. The vessel suffered irreparable damage estimated to be worth around $8000. A 15-year-old boy has been charged with endangering the safety of a person in a vehicle with intent, obstruct police and wilful damage by graffiti. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

Motocyclist Dies In Crash

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with endangering the safety of a person in a vehicle with intent.

A 45-year-old Noosa Heads man has been charged after investigations into a fatal traffic crash at Lake MacDonald concluded today. The crash occurred when a Volkswagen SUV and a Toyota Landcruiser Prado were travelling in opposite directions along Cooroy Noosa Road on October 4 when they collided head-on at around 7.15pm. A 90-year-old Cooroy woman died as a result of the crash. The 45-year-old man has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, driving under the influence of liquor and driving without a licence. He is due to appear in Noosa Magistrates Court on December 15.

Car crashes into restaurant in Moffat Beach Police are investigating a serious car crash in Moffat Beach on November 19 afternoon. Around 4.50pm, a 44-year-old man was driving along Seaview Terrace when he lost control of his car before crashing into a restaurant. Two people, who were dining in the restaurant at the time, were taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with minor injuries. The driver and two passengers, an 18-yearold man and a 16-year-old girl, were not physically injured in the crash. Forensic Crash Unit has seized the vehicle and began an investigation into the crash.

Treehouse turmoil By Margaret Maccoll A little over a year ago Ryley Diamond and his mate Jarvis built a treehouse in the Lowry Park across the road from their houses in Juniper Court, Peregian Beach. Overseen by parents the treehouse is a sturdy structure sitting unobtrusively in bushland in the middle of the small street. It has become the much-loved communal meeting place for all the neighbourhood kids. But one complaint about the treehouse alerted Noosa Council to the structure on Council land and it now boasts a council sign informing residents it will be pulled down. A distraught Ryley set out to stop the loss of the local haunt. After putting together a petition he door knocked all the houses up and down surrounding streets to garner support. Signed by 58 residents the petition was tabled at Council’s Ordinary Meeting last week by Cr Frank Wilkie and referred to the CEO to determine appropriate action.

Mates Jonty Wood, Ryley Diamond and Max Mason want the treehouse they built to remain.

Koala sighted in Noosa National Park Queensland Koala Crusaders have reported the return of a koala in Noosa Heads National Park after no koala sightings since August. QKC member Bernard Jean discovered the new girl to be named Servanda in the park last week while looking for a brush turkey he hoped to rescue because it had some steel wool around one leg. “I stumbled on this proud female in a melaleuca tree between the Service Road and the Coastal Walk,” he said. “She quietly looked at me and went back to his koala business, resting and eating. That was a delight to see her as, to my knowledge, there hadn’t been any koala sighting

reported in the Park since 31 August when a koala known as Allegro and Mornington was seen at Tea Tree Bay.” Bernard said last year we had five koalas who appeared around Tea Tree Bay, Zahra (infertile female) and 4 males: Teaboy, Boice, Denzel and Allegro/Mornington. “They disappeared one by one,” he said. “Zahra was last seen on 26/10/2019 at Tea Tree Bay. Teaboy was last seen on the Tanglewood track on 01/05/2020, Boice was last seen at Laguna Lookout on 16/03/2020 and Denzel was last seen at Tea Tree Bay on 10/11/2019.” He said there had been a possible sight-

ing of late Aggie’s off-spring Brynn on the Sunshine Beach part of Noosa National Park and other reports of a male and female at Tea Tree Bay were yet to be confirmed. “Current times are so hard for them with habitat loss, car strikes, dog attacks, stress and sicknesses and bushfires,” he said. “We have to save them from extinction and from our governments’ indifference”. He urged people to assist Queensland Koala Crusaders to make a difference for them, to plant trees and to build a sanctuary for them in the Noosa Region.

Library hits the road A more versatile vehicle and improved outreach services are part of the proposed plans to adapt Noosa’s Mobile Library Service. With the current semi-trailer nearing the end of its life after 14 years, the proposal is to introduce a cost-effective, flexible mobile library vehicle late next year, complemented by a range of book kiosks and new programs. Community Services Director Kerri Contini said the improved services would meet the changing needs of our community. “What people want from libraries is changing and the proposed service model ensures Council can continue to provide quality library services to all parts of the shire,” she said. “Libraries are a crucial part of our community, fostering lifelong learning and connecting residents of all ages. “We want to open up the service to more people, improve access to information and technology,” Ms Contini said. To help deliver a library outreach service that suits the community, residents are being asked for their thoughts on the proposed service and what resources and programs could be included. Senior Library staff will be on hand to talk to residents during the first hour of every mobile library location visit from December 1 to December 5. The mobile library locations for December are: Tuesday 1: 10-11am Noosa Junction; 2-3pm Sunrise Beach Wednesday 2: 10-11am Cooran Thursday 3: 10-11am Kin Kin; 1-2pm Boreen Point Friday 4: 1-2pm Peregian Beach Saturday 5: 9-10am - Pomona

After 13 years of early mornings, packed lunches, ironed uniforms and late nights finishing assignments, today Year 12 students at Good Shepherd Lutheran College will close their chapter of school, with final steps that will stay with them for life. On their final school day, Good Shepherd Year 12 students, were honoured and celebrated by the entire student body on the Good Shepherd Lutheran College’s emotion-charged “Walk of Honour”. Mrs Karen Lunn, Head of Senior Years Students explains that this rite of passage for Year 12 students, as they launch into the exciting challenges of life ahead, started back in 2008. “All students from Prep to Year 11 line the paths clapping and cheering as the Year 12’s soak up the atmosphere and admiration of their peers. Past walkers describe it as one of the most moving and proud moments of their final days of school life,” she said. “The walk through the campus, to music that is a collation of the top songs from each year of their school life, starts at the College Chapel and culminate at the HPE Centre where they will be given blessings for their future.” For College Captains Lonni Miller-Metzner, Cole Suter along with College Vice-Captains Grete Gawthorn and George Gleeson, life is asking them to suddenly take one of their biggest steps forward however after the initial swell of emotions, they are ready to put their mark on the world. College Captain Lonni Miller-Metzner, who has been a student at Good Shepherd since Prep explains, “This is just a massive honour... we’ve been waiting for this since Prep when I was watching the Year 12’s graduate each year and now it’s finally our turn.” When asked about her future Lonni said, “Next year I am planning on studying Information Technology and Business, and I am hoping to enter the field of User Experience and Product Design. Good Shepherd has instilled in me, a passion for creativity, curiosity and life long learning and I am excited to take these values with me as I begin tertiary education and eventually a career.” College Captain Cole Suter said, “I’m going to miss a place that truly cares about each and every member of its wide College community. It really is a wonderful place and environment to learn in and I’m very sad to see my journey at GSLC come to an end. But I’m ready for the next chapter. Onwards to University in Brisbane. The plan is to study Advanced Finance and Economics at UQ. After that...a mystery! I’m quite happy to take it one step at a time and see what life has in store for me.” Vice-Captain Grete Gawthorn, who has also been a student at Good Shepherd since Prep reflected “For me, Good Shepherd, has been an extension of my family, I have met all my friends and mentors who challenged me to give my best” she went on to say “I will definitely miss my teachers the most. Their words of encouragement, guidance and expertise are irreplaceable. However I feel comfortable knowing I am well equipped with a solid foundation.” While Grete is keen to celebrate with her friends, she already has her plan set for 2021.

Young voice By Margaret Maccoll Noosa’s environment has a new group of protectors in the Noosa Youth Advocacy Group formed by the Noosa Environmental Education Hub (Noosa EEHub). Aimed at providing a platform for Noosa’s young people to present their views on community issues the group, represented by students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College, St Andrews Anglican College and Sunshine Beach State High School was officially launched on Wednesday at Noosa’s Community Environment and Sustainability Group Forum. Noosa EEHub started its school extension programs last year after receiving seed-funding from the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation and the advocacy group has received some funding from a Noosa Council Environment grant. Noosa EEHub co-director Dalia Mikhail said the students’ keen interest in environmental issues such as climate change and emissions reduction was a driver of projects studied. Ms Mikhail said the Noosa EEHub took kids out of the classroom to engage then in real life leaning experiences.She said their projects included Noosa District High School students investigating the health of the waterway within the school grounds and other students conducting research on bushland at Peregian Beach damaged by last year’s fire. “The bushfire was so relevant. Now they have a good understanding of bushfire and what impact it has on the environment,“ she said. Advocacy group members Jolie May, Olivia Hoger and Jemima Harman agreed hands on learning from their local environment was much more relevant to them and was more important to getting them in touch with the community. “Students feel they have a voice. It’s so personal,“ they said.

The Advocacy Group’s program is designed by the students and provides a mechanism for them to raise their concerns and be responded to directly by council staff or councillors. “This Group provides our youth with engagement on key council strategies, such as the Climate Change Response Plan,“ Ms Mikhail said. The students said they were looking forward to learning more about rising sea levels in Noosa and its impact on the community. After leaning about sea level rises in Venice this year they will be able to better relate to studies involving their local environment. She said Noosa councillors Brian Stockwell, Amelia Lorentson and Tom Wegener had been very supportive of the initiative.“The world is changing at such pace that now more than ever the informed voice of our youth needs to be heard when developing key policies and plans that affect their future opportunities. While you have to be 18 to vote, all teenagers can actively and meaningfully participate in our local democracy,” Cr Brian Stockwell said. Ms Mikhail said plans were underway to present a Youth Climate Summit as part of council’s Climate Week in March 2021 as well as provide feedback on some key strategies such as the Queensland Government’s surfing reserves survey and sustainable transport solutions. Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation chair Rex Halverson said the Noosa Youth Advocacy Group would provide an important perspective that had been missing on decisions affecting how we live and interact within our Noosa Biosphere. “We look forward to inviting a youth rep to join our advisory board in the new year,” he said. The Noosa EEHub invites other interested youth representatives to make contact and is seeking corporate sponsors to help grow this program. Interested parties can visit www. noosaeehub.com.au.

Grete and Terence enjoyed their final graduation event, held at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, with their proud parents, Susanna and Michael Gawthorn.

Twins eye next chapter Terence and Grete Gawthorn have come to the end of their journey with Good Shepherd when they graduated side by side last week. While both are excited and looking forward to the next stage in their lives, it does come with a little trepidation as they embark on that journey, without their twin by their side. The non-identical twins started at Good Shepherd in 2008, with their very first day of school documented in the local paper. During their 12 year Good Shepherd journey, Terence and Grete were often in the same class and loved being able to support each other and help each other with homework and assignments. Grete said, “It was always very comforting having a sibling in the same class. We are quite close and even though we occasionally have a few disagreements we generally get along quite well.” “During lock-down the benefits of having a ‘study partner’ were immeasurable. Talking to peers and your teacher is such an important aspect of learning and being able to have a brother/sister with you,

whom you can discuss the content with was so beneficial. During lock down we individually joined the Zoom conference with our teacher but completed homework together.” After completing their last exam together, the highlight came with the siblings attending their spectacular graduation and taking their final steps just as they started, side by side. Grete and Terence enjoyed their final graduation event, held at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, with their proud parents, Susanna and Michael Gawthorn. Next year, both will be heading off in different directions. Terence will be moving down to Tasmania to study Maritime Engineering whilst Grete will be staying a little closer to home by moving to Brisbane to study Biomedical Science. It will be a huge change for both and will be associated with some fear and sadness, but as Grete said “it’s a necessary part of ‘growing up’ and something we will have to get used to. While our Good Shepherd journey may have concluded, we are excited for the future.”

Boost in early offers After dealing with COVID-19 interruptions and a new university entry system, more than 1300 new school leavers have snapped up the chance to secure early offers to USC - up 83 percent on last year. USC released its final round of early offers on Friday 20 November, the last day of school for Queensland’s Year 12 students. USC Vice-Chancellor Professor Helen Bartlett said while USC’s Early Offer Guarantee program had been steadily growing in popularity each year, there had been an influx this year of students seeking security around their future before finishing school. “It is pleasing to be able to provide certainty and help relieve pressure on the current Year 12s who have had to deal with the pandemic disrupting their learning and adapt to the new

ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank) university entry system,” Professor Bartlett said. “Previously, our early offers were made on the last day of Year 12. However, this year we fast-tracked the program by releasing them months earlier than usual and, for the first time, introduced weekly offer rounds. “This means that many of the more than 1,300 students already with offers to their chosen USC degrees have had their university plans mapped out for months, without being reliant on their Year 12 results or ATAR.” Until recently, USC was the only Queensland university to consistently administer an early offer guaranteed program, with most others only implementing similar schemes this year. It began as a USC pilot with Gympie schools

in 2014 and was expanded across other regions in 2015 to help provide students with certainty about their future study options and remove some of the barriers. There are 300 schools currently registered for USC’s Early Offer Guarantee across Australia, including every eligible high school in its catchment from Brisbane to the Fraser Coast. On the Sunshine Coast, the scheme has been immensely popular at schools such as Siena Catholic College, where the number of successful applicants this year has more than tripled to around 60 students. It is a similar trend at schools in Moreton Bay, Fraser Coast and Gympie. At St Columban’s College at Caboolture, more than 40 students will walk out the school gates tomorrow with early offers to USC - almost three times

the number of students who did so last year. Professor Bartlett encouraged current Year 11 students to consider taking up the opportunity to apply next year for early entry to more than 100 programs at USC. “Under the scheme, they do not need to be ATAR-eligible to apply, with offers based on the recommendations of their school principal independent of Year 12 results,” she said. “If students can show they have the right level of motivation, commitment and academic ability for success, they are on track to gain early entry to their preferred USC degree.” Normal course prerequisites and other program specific requirements still apply, and some health and science related programs are not available via the early offers scheme.

OzHarvest food appeal seeks help this Christmas Woolworths kickststarted its OzHarvest Christmas Fundraising Appeal with a $500,000 and is now calling on the community to chip in to raise $3 million and provide six million meals Australia-wide. According to the 2020 Foodbank’s Hunger Report reveal shocking facts about the level of food security facing Queenslanders this year. Among its findings the report revealed that a third of people who are food insecure have never gone hungry before the pandemic and charities have reported a 47 per cent increase in demand for food relief. Until December 24, customers at Woolworths Coolum, Noosa, Noosaville and Tewantin who spend over $30 will have the option to make a donation to the Appeal by

rounding-up the cost of their shop to the nearest dollar. Customers can also choose to make a 50 cent donation, with each donation helping to provide one nutritious meal to a person in need or buy their Santa Cookies with 50 cents from each box going to OzHarvest. “The ongoing financial and economic impacts of COVID-19 means more Australians are experiencing food insecurity than ever, with many going without a meal at Christmas time,” OzHarvest state manager Anthony Dunne said. “We’re asking Woolworths Coolum, Noosa, Noosaville and Tewantin customers to show their generosity by donating to this year’s OzHarvest Christmas Appeal to help keep our wheels turning and provide vital

food relief this holiday season and beyond. This fantastic appeal will help provide six million meals to Aussies in need.” With the pandemic, devastating bushfires and drought affecting so many Australians in 2020, new research by Woolworths found that more than 40 percent of Aussies believe it is more important to give back this year than in 2019. Woolworths has partnered with OzHarvest since 2008 to help reduce food waste by providing surplus fresh food to them from their supermarkets.

Indigenous strokes By Abbey Cannan With the help of 60 students and a talented artist, a local high school has unveiled an incredible Indigenous art piece during Reconciliation Week. Artist Michele Campbell produced a Wedge tail Eagle art piece for Sunshine Beach State High School, which holds significant meaning for the Undumbi tribal group of the Noosa region. Indigenous co-ordinator Shanon Hill said the art pays respect to local Elder Tais Muckan and his family in acknowledgment to their country we stand upon. “The National Reconciliation Week 2020 theme ‘In this together’ reinforces that we all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part, we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures,“ Ms Hill said. “Representing power, the Wedge tail Eagle can rise over the world, seeing and understanding all. Possessing keen eyesight, they

Wedge tail Eagle art work by artist Michele Campbell. can have a higher perspective on things and can indicate a talent for problem solving. This totem reinforces the link between the spiritual

words, creation time and the living world.“ She said the totem pictured was flying over the Noosa community, with the Noosa National Park and headlands, main beach, the Noosa River and North Shore. “Everyone is connected to this art piece in some way or another, also protected by our Wedged Tail Eagle,“ Ms Hill said. “Throughout Term 3, all indigenous students of this school were invited take part in the creation of the Wedge tail Eagle artwork. This project was designed to embrace the Reconciliation Week theme ‘In This Together’ through its collaborative construction. The art is a collection of tiles painted by the students that, when brought together, create the totem. “The students were all encouraged to bring along a friend and together they worked to create this masterpiece. “Through the enthusiastic teamwork of the students, we celebrate the diversity of the school and the importance of our bonds to each other and the land.“ Ms Hill said the art piece will be on display for the school to value and be proud of as a school that accepts difference.

Christmas appeal for local families By Randall Woodley The Target store at Noosa Junction is again joining with the Uniting Church’s social justice department, UnitingCare and Disability Services in raising fund for disadvantaged families and individuals. The appeal will run through to Christmas eve and the monies raised and gifts given will be distributed by local charity, UTURN (previously known as United Synergies) in this area. This arrangement has been running for

some years and last year over $1500 worth of Christmas hampers and numerous children’s gifts were distributed to about one hundred families in the Noosa-Tewantin area by United Synergies. These families and individuals were in financial difficulties and their Christmases were made more enjoyable by the generosity of the local public. When visiting the Target Store customers will be asked to purchase one or more packets of attractive Christmas Gift Cards for $3 and these can be used with their presents.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, this year customers will not be able to leave gifts for distribution to needy families as they have done in previous years. This appeal is running at every Target Store throughout Australia and the organisers hope to raise four million dollars to be distributed before Christmas. For more information contact UnitingCare at- christmasappeal@ucareqld.com.au or ring Randall Woodley on 0417 712 616.

A year full of success The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) held its Annual General Meeting on Friday 20 November reporting a strong year of progress, despite the year’s challenges. NBRF chair Rex Halverson said a more challenging start to his term could not have been imagined. “First the fire emergencies and then COVID-19, which impacted every aspect of ours and our project partners’ lives and activities,” he said. While these circumstances slowed down some activities, significant progress has been made transitioning in new Board members and processes, finalising several multi-year projects and preparing the Foundation’s new funding, community engagement and operations model. “Even with the year’s challenges, we were able to bring to completion a number of projects, including the Noosa Trail Masterplan, the Oyster Reef Restoration Trial and Keep on Keeping It In Kin Kin (Phase 2). Each have led to significant additional state and federal funding to implement expanded programs, delivering an even greater return on our initial investment - and validation of the value in new research and pilot programs for the Noosa Biosphere,” he said. “In addition, we helped launch exciting new programs including the Noosa Environmental Education Hub which is already delivering great outcomes for our local schools. We also began delivering on a new engagementfocused model to develop new initiatives.“ The NBRF is a volunteer board which receives funding from Noosa Shire Council and others to undertake research and projects that assist the preservation of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve, in line with the global sustainability goals of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program (MaB). Rowan Rafferty who has been acting in advisory capacity to the board throughout this financial year was officially appointed as a Di-

2020 AGM attendees Noel Playford, Rex Halverson, Sharon Wright, Duncan Thompson, Alison Cooper, Rowan Rafferty, Jady Smith, Judy Castledine, Prof Tim Smith, Cr Tom Wegener and Prof Rod Smith. rector of the Board. “We also launched internal projects to find new sources of funding to supplement Council support, as well as reviewing and enhancing our policies to ensure we exceed community expectations relating to accountability and transparency,” Mr Halverson said. “As part of our commitment to enhanc-

ing engagement, we appointed a new Executive Coordinator who will lead fundraising and community engagement activities for the NBRF. We’ve also collaborated with Tourism Noosa on the “Enter the Biosphere” campaign and hosted our first fundraising event, the Black and Glossy Gala luncheon with event partners, In Noosa magazine and Plastic Free

Noosa, which highlight the social and economic value of our environmental assets - and the need to protect them,” he said. “Through our work, we aim to inform best practice management models for all those working hard to maintain a sustainable and healthy Noosa environment for future generations.”

Blackspot funding open Applications are open now for a new round of the $380 million Mobile Black Spot Program to help expand mobile phone coverage in major transport corridors and disaster-prone areas, Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien announced. “Adequate mobile phone coverage is important in regional all areas, but it’s particularly essential in areas that are prone to natural disasters such as floods or bushfires, as it’s critical to keep people connected with emergency services and loved ones during times of emergency,” Mr O’Brien said.

“I would encourage all local communities and councils in Wide Bay to identify their priority locations for improved coverage, and to work with the mobile network operators and infrastructure providers in support of applications for funding for those areas.” To nominate a black spot in your community, visit https://llewobrien.com.au/nominatea-mobile-phone-black-spot/ and Mr O’Brien will provide this information to the relevant parties. Round 5A of the Morrison Government’s $380 million Mobile Black Spot Program will

build on the progress made since this program began in 2013, which includes $3.4 million to date in Wide Bay to deliver new and improved mobile coverage through a total of 18 mobile base stations. To date, 14 base stations are now operational at Glastonbury, Kin Kin, MaryboroughBiggenden Road, Widgee, Woolooga, Maaroom, Pomona-Kin Kin Road, Tansey, Wide Bay Highway at Cinnabar, Windera, Yerra, Poona, Oakview and Boreen Point. New infrastructure at blackspots on Cootharaba Road, Wide Bay Highway at Oakview,

Central Stations Camp Ground and Eugarie at Fraser Island is expected to be complete this year, and a base station at Wrattens Forest is scheduled to be built next year. Nationally, the first five rounds of the program have funded more than 1200 new base stations in regional Australia, with more than 880 of these already switched on. Applications for Round 5A opened on 18 November 2020 and will close on 10 February 2020.

Funding to drive Indigenous and transcultural insight A USC-led project to help PhD students strengthen their research with First Nations and transcultural perspectives has received an enormous boost from the Australian Research Council (ARC). The ARC this week awarded a Discovery Project grant valued at almost $277,500 to the project ‘Implementing Indigenous knowledge approaches in doctoral education’. USC’s Professor of Education Catherine Manathunga will lead a team of researchers, including her colleague at the Indigenous and Transcultural Research Centre at USC, Professor of Marketing Maria Raciti and academics and elders from other universities. Professor Manathunga said a monocultural approach to research in Australia often missed the solutions to complex problems already used by other cultures - for example Indigenous fire management strategies that have, until now, been largely ignored in Western-led land management. “Multiple knowledge systems exist and,

Professor Catherine Manathunga and Professor Maria Raciti. in order to face the complex problems in the world, we need to draw on them all, including the knowledge systems of First Nations, migrant and refugee peoples,” she said. “Australia would then be in a better position to harness the power of First Nations and multiple cultural knowledges we already have access to in our society.”

The project team will create a multimedia portal that helps doctoral researchers consider and embed First Nations and transcultural perspectives from the outset of their study - from “agency of Country and power of story” to “the ways that knowledge is developed iteratively across generations and cultures”.

USC Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) Professor Roland De Marco said the research would ultimately strengthen Australia’s research sector through collaboration and drawing on existing understanding of traditional knowledge and practices. “This funding caps off a magnificent year for the Indigenous and Transcultural Research Centre at USC, with core member Professor Sandy O’Sullivan also awarded an ARC Future Fellowship in July,” he said. On top of this, a research project into Australian television led by Queensland University of Technology and involving USC’s Associate Professor Anna Potter, also received a Discovery Project grant valued at $385,800. The project, ‘Making Australian TV in the 21st Century’, will look at the implications of non-Australian ownership, technological adjustments, policy changes and support adjustments since the mid-00s that have challenged the making of “Australian” television.

Climate crisis needs us By Margaret Maccoll

Professor Ian Lowe at Noosa Parks Association stands by an image of his granddaughter Maven.

Professor Ian Lowe with the trend increasing. It also showed the number of declared dangerous fire days had increased dramatically while rainfall has decreased 30 per cent. The impact of climate change includes hotter days, more severe weather events, more category 4 and 5 cyclones hitting the Queensland coast, changes to growing seasons, greater fire risk, increasing sea levels and coastal erosion and changes to natural systems including wildlife migration to adapt to changing climates. What will happen in the future? Dr Lowe said if we get our act together and greenhouse emissions stabilise the most optimistic view is a 3 degree increase, the pessimistic view is “off the scale”. “The task is to have a better than ever chance is to have a 2 degree increase,” he said. “The world needs people to emit 45 per cent less emissions in 2030.” If it doesn’t future impacts will be widereaching. Deloitte accounting organisation predicts large impacts from climate change on the economy, particularly agriculture and tourism. “We will need to adapt to hotter, drier weather and water conservation will become

more important,” Dr Lowe said. There will be an increased risk of vector borne disease such as Dengue and Ross River fever, increased risk of heat stroke and pressure on mental health, especially in rural communities, he said. On the plus side the recent CSIRO report indicated the costs of renewable power had reduced significantly and wind and solar power would decrease power prices for the individual. Dr Lowe said South Australia’s investment in wind and solar power has demonstrated that previous beliefs they would only provide 25-30 per cent of power were “baloney”. A NSW university study showed renewables were capable of supplying all our energy needs, he said. SA will reach zero carbon by 2030 and save consumers $50 million. “It can be done with political will,” he said. “Green energy is replacing fossil fuels around the world.” Dr Lowe said on a global scale Australia was lagging behind. President Joe Biden aims to rejoin the Paris agreement along with China. Australia will feel economic and social impacts if it doesn’t meet the same standards.

In western Europe it will not be legal to register a petrol vehicle in 2035. To create change in Australia will require public pressure. “If we want politicians to take action we have to step up and get them to take action,” he said. We will need better public transport and better planned communities enabling walking and cycling access to services, he said. “We have to recognise unlimited growth is not possible. We have to stabilise human growth. If we care for our world the natural systems will give us what we need - breathable air, drinkable water, ways to produce food. If we don’t have that we won’t continue as a species, not only a civilised world.” “Surveys show 80 per cent of Australians think we should be doing more for climate change. People want something better. Two fundamental problems are a political system corrupted by development and ideology that says the best future comes from trusting the market.” In a way COVID has taught the world a couple of significant lessons that people can survive with much less material goods and governments have been forced to accept the word of scientists. 12453581-FA28-20

Although we’ve known about the issue of climate for decades we’ve done little to fix it, Emeritus Professor Ian Lowe told a packed house of guests at Noosa Parks Association Friday Forum this month. Dr Lowe describes the current situation as a “climate crisis” that needs urgent action. “Humans are reaching the planet’s limit,” he said. “Every year there are more of us and we are consuming more. The economy is kept afloat by encouraging more spending. There are limits to what the natural system can absorb and supply.” There is hope though with new sustainable technologies being developed and increasingly used around the world to enable people can live at the same level of comfort they do now, use a quarter of the energy they do now and at lower costs than fossil fuel-burning energies. Formally educated in physics, the Griffith University professor has been working for the past 40 years on aspects of energy supply and use, especially environmental consequences such as climate change, as well as the broader issue of sustainable futures. Thirty years ago the book The Greenhouse Effect outlined the issue but little progress has been made to solving climate challenges and the only significant change has been the halt of usage of ozone depleting substances with the result that the hole in the ozone layer is not increasing, he said. “Climate change is only one of the environmental problems we face,” Dr Lowe said. Fifty years ago the human population was about 3.7 billion. In 2020 it is about 7.8 billion. Humans and ruminant livestock now make up 96 per cent of animals on earth with only 4 per cent comprising all species of wildlife. “We have a biodiversity crisis with mass extinction predicted by the end of the century,” he said. “When a species goes extinct it has implications up and down the food chain. “We don’t know enough about complex ecology to tell when whole ecosystems will collapse.” Dr Lowe praised the way of life of the original Australians who he said worked out how to live sustainably in a harsh and unforgiving climate. They had a system that allowed them to live with sustainable practises in customs and system of law, but the way of life of original Australians has been permanently interrupted by our forebears through robbery with violence, he said. To dispel the beliefs of climate deniers Dr Lowe said there had been significant changes of warmer and cooler periods throughout history but decades of scientific evidence show since the industrial revolution and the burning of fossil fuels global temperature have been increasing at an increasing rate. The average temperature in Australia in most places is getting hotter with some central Australian areas warming as much as 2.5 degrees. A CSIRO climate report released last week showed a record number of days when the mean temperature had increased 1degree

VanderAa’s zero waste Aaron VanderAa gets down and dirty.

Pictures: SUPPLIED

You can tell how serious the VanderAa brothers are about zero waste by looking at their YouTube clips or promotional photos - they wear their shirts until they fall off and then, well, they go shirtless. But the fun-loving and frequently topless multi-instrumentalists, who have been taking the Sunny Coast by storm since arriving from Darwin a year ago, are also totally committed to helping the environment and making the

world a better place. Born and raised in Darwin, brothers Levi and Aaron VanderAa have toured all over the world, but fell in love with the Sunshine Coast and have called it home for over a year. Performing as VanderAa, Levi and Aaron VanderAa have appeared at festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Berlin Travel Festival, Burning Man, and many more across Europe. The name VanderAa is their last name, and it means “of the River Aa” for the part of Holland their family came from. Levi and Aaron have been using their music to create positive change since they offered free downloads of their EP in exchange for an act of kindness. Since then they’ve collaborated with environmental groups including Sea Shepherd, Greenpeace, Take 3 for the Sea, Clean Coast Collective, Will and Bear, and more. “We want to leave behind a legacy that is in the direction of creating positive change”, says Aaron, “Not leave behind a legacy of rubbish and trash and a carbon footprint”. With the help of the Sunshine Coast community, VanderAa successfully ran a 250-people concert in September as a ‘zero waste’ event, generating only a handful of waste. Inspired by this success, Aaron and Levi began researching how to make their 500-people Halloween concert both zero-waste and carbon-neutral. They found the Noosa Environmental Education Hub, who organised a planting of 100 eucalypt trees by students camping at the Mimburi campus of Noosa District High, to restore koala corridors on this conservation site which consists of 300 acres of rolling hills, bordered on the south by Belli Creek, and to the west by the Mary River. Through projects like this, the Noosa EEHub involves the next generation of environmental custodians in protection and restoration of our local ecosystems. The tree planting took place on November 17, made possible from the profits of VanderAa’s Secret Garden event held in Belli Park this month on a private property, and Aaron VanderAa came along to help out. “We’re just so stoked to be involved with this planting and to help benefit the community”, he says. “I really recommend that other musicians and anyone running events takes steps to help our environment. I think it’s really important that we all step up and address issues within our community.” VanderAa plan to continue bringing carbon-offset, zero-waste events to the Sunshine Coast. Head to VanderAa’s Facebook page to see what shows they have coming up, including their two-day New Year’s Eve Secret Garden Experience. The Noosa Environmental Education Hub has an exciting program planned for schools across the Sunshine Coast in 2021. To find out how your school can get involved visit the website www.noosaeehub.com.au.

Visa help According to the Department of Home Affairs there were 657,186 New Zealanders in Australia on a Special Category (SC) Visa subclass 444, as of 30 September 2020. Nowak Migration in Noosa Junction prides itself on quality, hassle-free and efficient processes which allow them to be the agency of choice to help solve your visa issues. SC 444 visa is being granted upon arrival to Australia and comes with work rights and no expiry date on how long they can stay. However, this visa does not entitle its holder to many benefits available for Australian Citizens and Permanent residents. Without being an Australian permanent resident or citizen, they are not allowed to apply for HECS-HELP loan or some social benefits from Centrelink, for example. To become a permanent resident, it all depends on when they first arrived in Australia, how long they have been living here, work, family composition. It is worth to note there are few Permanent Residency visas available just for New Zealanders. Also, there are few ways to become an Australian citizen: Citizenship by Conferral is the one where most people could be eligible. However, applicants must be a permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen when applying for citizenship. Another thing is a residency requirement - an applicant must have been: living in Australia on a valid visa for the past 4 years; a permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen for the past 12 months; away from Australia for no more than 12 months in total in the past 4 years, including no more than 90 days in total in the past 12 months; New Zealand and Australia are allowing dual nationality, so having a NZ and Australian passport is possible.

What a year for the travel industry! Covid-19 has subjected the industry to some pretty harsh treatment and Noosa Travel has had to pivot their business to suit. Manager of Noosa Travel Barbara Sheriff is taking the time to thank their loyal clients during these tough times. “Firstly, I would like to thank all of our valued clients for supporting us during these challenging times and thank them for booking their Australian holidays with us. It is greatly appreciated,” she said. “We moved to a smaller office at 109 Poinciana Avenue and for the last four months, we put together a whole range of independent travel packages to destinations within Queensland and other states as soon as the borders opened.” We had clients asking for escorted group tours so we put together a range of tours that are operated and escorted by our own staff, from day tours to extended tours. “We have been escorting overseas holidays for years, so it seemed a natural transition.” Noosa Travel has just released three of their escorted tours, with more planned. For the tours departing from the Noosa area, Noosa Travel will be offering door to door pick up service. Their escorted groups are small group touring with a maximum of 10 adults. “We believe small group touring will be the way of the future” Barbara said. All of the independent and escorted tours are available on their website noosatravel.com.au or call on 07 5449700 for more information.

Feet First put locals first By Abbey Cannan Despite a testing eight months, a long-standing locally family owned and operated Noosa business has continued to walk the walk in supporting locals. Feet First owner David Garozzo said they wanted to focus on giving back to their loyal supporters in the community. “Like most small businesses, the past eight months have been the most trying times in our business since taking over from the previous owners,” he said. David said the local support of the community had not gone unnoticed throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. “To hear so many local customers express their determination to support small local businesses, has been one of the very few success stories since the introduction of the pandemic,” he said. “This has led to a genuine focus to give back to our locals by rewarding them with savings going forward. “Sue and I have also instilled this philosophy into our own day to day lifestyle by shopping local as much as possible. “We love our community and don’t wish anyone to suffer financially whilst we weather the COVID storm.” Feet First’s new loyalty program will be offering genuine savings on all brands in store. For over 25 years, the store has been servicing the community with the most recognised Premium Brands from Denmark, France, Japan and the US. “For this summer we have added three new international brands from Germany, Spain and Switzerland,” David said. “Since we can’t travel overseas, we have brought more quality global comfort brands to Noosa. All brands offering premium comfort with arch support.”

BEACH PEOPLE

By Phil Jarratt

Master of the trade It’s a rough old head only a mother could love, but under that big, daggy hat it’s been a fixture on Noosa’s Main Beach for more than half a century. “Hey Bill” Watson is arguably Noosa’s most famous resident. According to students of statistics, at least 25 percent of the half billion tourists who have visited Noosa since we started counting, have been served shave ice, iced tea and coffee and mineral waters by William Watson. We might need to have another look at these numbers once those students graduate, but trust me, he’s served a hell of a lot of stuff to a hell of a lot of people for a hell of a long time. About a decade ago, Bill began putting aside 50 cents from every drink he sold, hoping to raise $7000 to purchase a much-needed quad bike for the Police Beat coppers. It took him just over two years, but he did it. That’s 50 cents, two years, $7K. As the Americans say, go do the math. Bill is such a master of the beach trade that he has applied for a Churchill Fellowship to travel the world and share his techniques with beach cart sellers around the great beaches of the world, while compiling an immense dossier on the subject to share with his colleagues when he gets back home to Noosa. But don’t hold your breath, it might take a while. Kuta Beach alone could involve a year’s work. In any case, Covid-19 has killed off any chance of international travel, so the Fellowship will have to wait for a couple of years. But dreams are free, especially for two old blokes sitting in the shade on a warm Friday morn-

ing, watching the schoolies destroying their uniforms in the shorebreak. Not much older than today’s schoolies, Bill rocked into town in 1970, slept in his car outside the National Park gates and sold oranges to the naked hordes at Tea Tree and Granite. He quickly realised that hanging on the beach flogging sustenance to surfers beat real work hands down, although from time to time he was forced to ply his trade as a quick-witted waiter at a succession of watering holes like Belmondo’s and Rio’s. Somewhere along the way, Bill realised that a bikini-clad beauty attracted more of a crowd than a whiskery beach bum, so he started loading up his cart with visiting backpackers as well as the icy stuff down below. Queues formed whenever Bill showed up with his bevy of beach girls, and business boomed. I can hear him now, sharing this intelligence with the Kutarese cart mummas on his Churchill tour of duty: “Have you ever considered hiring a couple of Brazilian girls?” Bill’s had good years and bad years on the beach - and in the good ones he’s always been there to help raise money for where it’s needed - but he’s never seen anything like this year. It started well enough, with a good summer despite the bushfires, the celebration of his half century on the beach in January, followed by his 70th “wake”at Rococo’s in early March ... and then, disaster. Bill’s routine is he gets up at 4.30am, feeds the chooks, walks the dogs, quaffs a Vegemite sandwich, then spends a couple of hours pack-

Hey Bill, the master. ing the cart. He’s usually on the beach by 7.30, ready for the second wave of arrivals. But by 9am this March morning, he was on his way back home. “They closed the bloody beach!” he howls, still not quite believing it. “Sent us home. But I have to say, the council was very kind to give us a holiday on the lease payments. Still, there were other costs to be met and it was a bit of a struggle. And then the weather started to warm up and the crowds came back, particu-

larly the weekends.” So how’s it looking for summer, Bill? “Pretty good, I’d say. Hotel bookings are way up, and we might even get the folks from down south back in the mix. They reckon there might be a bit more rain than usual, but a few drops never stopped anyone from coming to the beach. And I’ll be here, don’t worry about that. I might hang the hat up at 90, but I’ll be here until then.”

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

GREG DAVIES: THE BACK OF MY MUM’S HEAD

FRIDAY

ABC COMEDY, 8.30pm

NANCY DREW PEACH, 10.30pm

Viewers intent on watching this detective revival have had their own mystery on their hands since it vanished from schedules last year, then again in April. Case closed – 10 Peach is at last bringing back the amateur sleuth. When we saw her last, Nancy (Kennedy McMann) was reinvestigating Ted’s disappearance, uncovering links to her very ﬁrst case as a 12-year-old private eye. Tonight, Nancy discovers a connection between the poison that killed Tiﬀany and a serial poisoner from 17 years earlier.

SATURDAY

THE TIME TRAVELLER’S WIFE GEM, 7pm

This adaptation of Audrey Niﬀenegger’s popular novel explores the idea that people destined to be together will ﬁnd each other. Chicago librarian Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana) has a genetic disorder that causes him to involuntarily travel through time. Despite never knowing when he will disappear from the present and emerge, unclothed, in another stage of his life, Henry manages to build a relationship with artist Clare Abshire (Rachel McAdams). Her fate is both lonely and wondrous – her lover can come to her and then go away without notice. Although Bana never quite matches McAdams’ luminous presence, the leads have a pleasant chemistry.

MONDAY

HOME AND AWAY SEVEN, 7pm

The level of creativity required to keep the scandals coming thick and fast in Summer Bay after 33 seasons is cause for celebration. And in tonight’s 2020 ﬁnale, we are given just that, with a movie-length special that is sure to sate our appetites over the summer break. While we can rest assured that Alf (Ray Meagher, 4,159 episodes and counting) will always be part of the furniture, it’s the new arrivals that historically bring the most drama. Luke Arnold, who gave a stellar performance as Michael Hutchence in the 2014 TV special on INXS’ rise and fall, joins the cast as Lewis, whose past with the grieving Jas (The Bachelorette’s Sam Frost) might bring some joy.

Laughter really is the best medicine, and this acclaimed sell-out stand-up performance is sure to have you in stitches. Greg Davies – who you might recognise from The Inbetweeners or Taskmaster – was stung by his mother’s comment that he might not be quite “normal”. Ouch. So he’s on a mission to probe the human psyche to find out if anyone actually is. Quizzing his audience and pondering their responses, this is by no means scientific, but as all good comedians do, Davies shows us our flaws with such wit that we can’t help but laugh at the pettiness of the constant – and seemingly unattainable – pursuit of fitting in. Greg Davies stars in Greg Davies: The Back Of My Mum’s Head

Celebrate the holidays Like many things in 2020, Christmas in Cooroy will look a whole lot different this year. However, the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to spreading some sparkle around the community with its Christmas Lights Competition. It’s a Cooroy tradition that lights up the city, brings the community together and gives you a chance to win $500. To enter, it’s as simple as heading to their website and filling in the entry form. Entries close on Sunday 6 December and displays will be judged on Friday 18 December. The winners will be announced on Facebook and the Cooroy Chambers website. Speaking of lights, the iconic tree on the Maple Street roundabout will be again be lit up, courtesy of the local Energex depot. As in previous years, the local businesses will be competing for the Best Dressed Christmas Window. Cooroy Country Jeanery and Menswear will be keen to make it three wins in a row. Who is going to stop them? Due to the Covid-19 restrictions on holding events, there will be no street parade this year, no Santa Race and no fireworks. Instead the attention will be late night trading in Cooroy from 5.30 to 8pm on Friday 4 December. Most of the local retailers are on board and will be keen to welcome shoppers with special offers and promotions. It’s been a tough year so come and show them your support. Another first time novelty is the Crazy Christmas Bikes Competition. Let the imagination run wild as there will be great prizes on offer for the best dressed bike and rider and it is open to all ages up to 16 years. Continued page 34

Team work makes the dream work at Christmas in Cooroy.

Busking around town will be The Cherry Ripes.

Working for the world From the red carpets of Hollywood to the jungles of Sumatra, the deep waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans and the sometimes, dangerous fish markets of Asia, would be a journey that would turn many an adventurous soul green with envy. But for Peregians’ Paul Hilton, international award- winning conservation photojournalist and wildlife crime consultant, this has indeed been life’s journey. His love of wildlife and underwater photography, which has been the subject of his many awards, has been the reason for his extensive travels and his now obsessive campaign to bring public international attention to the barbaric, but lucrative worldwide business known as the Shark Fin Trade. Because of his outstanding and deep commitment to conservation efforts around the world, Paul in 2009, became a member of the prestigious U.S. International League of Conservation Photographers: an elite group that is considered to be amongst the world’s best. It was his first book, entitled Man & Shark which he launched in 2010, highlighting the global shark fin industry, that resulted in his receiving in 2012, World Press Photo award for his body of work, based on the Shark Fin issue. Then later that same year, he was awarded Wildlife Photographer of the year: an award he was to repeat in 2014 and again in 2016.This was followed by the Asian Geographic Best of the Decade Series and the Ark Trust Award, for exposing bear bile farming in China, for the Animals Asia Foundation. Bear bile farming is a cruel farming system, designed to extract bile from the gallbladder of living bears. The bile is used in traditional Chinese medicine. His photos were published in the book, Black Market which deals with the wildlife trade in Asia and included investigative photojournalism, in the wild-animal markets and theme parks of China.

Old growth rainforest is cleared for palm oil expansion, Sumatra, Indonesia. However, during the last decade, he has spent time following the shark fin trade across the globe, from the fishing ports of Yemen and the middle East to the high seas of the Pacific and Indian Ocean. He has also documented the dry seafood markets of southern China and Hong Kong and many other projects: cooperation with Wild Aid, Human Society International, Greenpeace International and the Hong Kong Shark Foundation. For Paul, he first became fully aware of the shark fin trade when back in 2004/5, while walking the streets of Hong Kong, he noticed outside many shops, lots of shark fins in baskets and on asking questions he became deep-

ly disturbed by what he learnt: he had in fact, stumbled accidentally on what was known as-- the Shark Fin Trade. Further discussions revealed that it was in fact not just a local business, but a multimillion-dollar business, spreading around the world, including Australia. Sadly, to cater for the increasing demand, it required the killing of an estimated 200 million sharks a year from all corners of the globe. The fin is harvested by cutting it off the shark. Once removed, the shark is left to die: a practice known as finning. This is however illegal in Australia. When you consider that a kilogram of fin is worth $75, it is easy to under-

stand why it has become a worldwide trade. A trade which in some places has, for investigative journalist, a certain degree of danger. It is no wonder, that the many photos taken by Paul, of several thousand fins laid out in various market places throughout the world, has resulted in public outcry: it has also been the reason for his many photographic awards. Also, as a side business, there is a definite increase in demand for shark meat from around the world. For Paul, another major project is the manta and mobula ray trade: and like the shark fin trade, it has also spread across the world. Because of this, he set up the Manta Ray of Hope Project to document, in partnership with Wildlife and Mantar Trust, the plight of the great rays: and investigate the use of gill rakers in traditional Chinese medicine. The gill raker serve to protect the gill (of the manta ray) from large debris and to trap food, in particular plankton. “None of these purported medical claims, are supported by science nor are they supported by traditional Chinese medicine text. It is estimated that in the market place for gill rakers that a quantity of 61,000 kg per year will bring $11.3million.” However, it is not only his interest in the welfare of the shark and the manta ray, but also his love of wildlife in general, that has resulted in his reputation as a photographer becoming worldwide. In early October of this year, he received the Wildlife Photojournalist Story of the Year Award: this was presented by the Natural History Museum of London. As a result of this Paul gained massive exposure on international media such as the BBC,CNN and the SBS. Unfortunately for Paul, because of Covid he missed the big occasion: on the time of the presentation he was dining with me at the Surf Club Sunshine Beach. ‘’Ah well, ” he said with a laugh and a shrug of his shoulders, “such is life.” 12471261-SG48-20

The story entitled Backroom Business, revolves around an incident in which Paul found a medium sized, chiefly forest dwelling, old world monkey, known as a Pig tailed Macaque: sitting alone and chained to a cage in an Indonesian animal market. Thinking he was interested in making a purchase, the trader permitted him to photograph the animal. “This young macaque monkey,” said Paul, “was perhaps later sold as a pet to a zoo for biomedical research or later eaten.” Regarding his walking the Red Carpet in Hollywood Paul explained. “It was in 2015 that the film Racing Extinction, produced by Ocean Preservation Society and directed by Oscar winner Louie Psihoyos, was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The reviews were great, it was praised as a return to form for the Discovery Channels and also nominated for an EMMY. Because of this, the team was invited to the awards night and as my undercover footage featured heavily, I was on the guest list. It was definitely a night to remember and I think,” he said with a pause and a laugh, “we should leave it at that.” At present he is working on the Palm Oil issue; documenting deforestation, land clearing and wildlife crimes in Sumatra, Indonesia. “The palm oil industry has been and continues to be a major driver of deforestation of some of the world’s most biodiverse forests (thus) destroying the habitat of some of the worlds iconic species such as, the orangutan, elephant, Sumatran rhino and tigers “When it comes to deforestation, it is not just overseas that concerns me,” said Paul, “but also Australia. We are now world leaders in chopping down trees and the Koala is rapidly vanishing from NSW and QLD: so now it is time to say ‘Wake up Australia’. Look at the world around us, be more aware of what we eat and how we spend our dollars, it’s all connected. Born in England in 1973, Paul along with his family arrived in Brisbane Australia, at the age of 3. After a short time in Brisbane, the family moved north to Townsville and it was here at Pimilica State High School, that Paul received his education. “I left school at 17 did senior and immediately took a job as a kitchen hand on Dunk

After my time on the island, a good mate and I teamed up, bought a combi van and proceeded to travel round Australia. Our van tour finished after we reached Perth: we sold the van and this gave us the money to reach Sydney. It was during our travels that I really started to take an interest in wildlife welfare. Every time we would come across some poor creature laying on the roadside, I would have to stop, investigate and try to help. As a kid, I had always been interested, but during our travels it really took hold. My interest in photography, started after I got hold of my mother’s camera. At 15, I went on a family holiday to the Snowy mountains and took the camera. After taking photos of stunning crimson Rosellas juxtapose on the white snow, which fortunately came out good, I really became interested.” Following Sydney, the next trip was overseas to London and while working there Paul enrolled in a course in photography. “This gave me a good grounding, all the basic principles necessary for me to start my career. From there I went to Hong Kong and obtained work as a photographic assistant” This is just the start to an outstanding career for our quiet living Peregian photographer, whose love of wildlife and the creatures of the sea, knows no bounds. It also leaves us wanting to know more about our neighbour and his quest for a better world.

Consumerism I refer to the recent correspondence headed “An Entitled Life“. If, in society today, there is such a strong sense of “entitlement“ to consume, how can it be explained? Are today’s generations more addicted to consumption than previous generations? An ever-increasing production of commodities, the sale of which is promoted by non-stop blanket advertising and facilitated by easy credit, has created an almost irresistible pressure to consume. It will be recalled that in 1974 the Australian banks sent out unsolicited credit cards (i.e., Bankcard) by direct mail to every customer who had a savings or cheque account. What

followed was like the Genesis story of the forbidden fruit: we liked the look, and the taste was sweet, and we were hooked. But it did not stop there. Whereas we once had to beg the banks for a loan to put a roof over our heads, the banks and other lenders now beg us to take out huge loans, and to use their credit cards for any items we fancy. Moreover, governments strongly encourage consumerism, i.e., the belief that a high level of consumer spending is desirable and beneficial to the economy. From the earliest age, children are led to believe that possessions equate with happiness. So, in a culture such as ours, who can be blamed for thinking that consumption is the only way to have a meaningful life? Furthermore, who can say how past generations would have behaved if they had been given similar opportunities to consume? As for selfish behaviour, was there ever a time when human beings were generally more concerned for the welfare of others than for their own welfare? Nostalgia for the “good old days“ does not solve the problems of today. The Global Financial Crisis and Covid-19 show how easily the whole socioeconomic system can be shaken, and how quickly the demand for goods and services can evaporate. Bill Bodkin, Sunshine Beach

Importance Of Leaders On TV and in the news papers we are being reminded of the dangers of COVID-19. Also we are reminded that until and also after we have a vaccine we may have to learn to live with it. From all reports our close allies and friends in America alas the opposite appears to be message. They every day (with what is hard to accept) continue to have a frightening amount of deaths and are having to learn the opposite and learn to die with it until they get a vaccine. It doesn’t have to be that way. We, like most Nations around the World are fortunate to have leaders in goverment who are not putting themselves and their importance above the people they were chosen and promised to take care of.

Opinion Questioned I refer to your article by Peter Blessing “International Men’s Day show men have rights too“, as published in Noosa Today (29/11). I am all for international awareness days that shine spotlights onto social issues and promote awareness. However I would question this article and where its author actually found his “research and facts“. It seems to be rather one sided from a person who claims to be acting for gender equality. I do realise he is talking about men in particular. Gender equality is something that I have been studying for some years now. Some of the groups quoted by the writer seem to have been such as the The Australian Brotherhood of Fathers, who I have witnessed with my own eyes at the entrance of the Harry Gibbs Federal Law Buildings in Brisbane, claiming all female domestic violence victims are liars. Not sure how you can promote a cause by completely discrediting another that stands against the same acts of Violence against humans, men or women. There is an innate nature in society to victim blame, and with the statistics showing the majority of domestic violence victims as women, they are being targeted for most of these perceived and propaganda driven untruths. I am no stranger to the Family Law system and have seen for myself the allegations and such as lodged by mothers and fathers in an overburdened system with no investigative powers, and little ability and reluctance to apportion blame. I would ask Mr Blessings that when he next time speaks of gender equalities or inequalities that he could actually investigate both sides of a very historical, extremely complex and multifaceted social problem. It is a fair responsibility that should be owed to our citizens to evaluate each side, which does promote awareness. As for Universities and his claims made, I would ask when was the last time he had actually attended a campus in any capacity as a teacher or student, or was involved in any social aspects of campus life that often lead to such issues he discussed. Something to think about when running future articles I hope. Sam (Gender not specified), Noosaville

Schoolies 2020 It has been interesting to watch over the last 2 months how Noosa came to become the “place to be” for Schoolies in 2020. This is not something that the business

community in Noosa wanted, or needed right now, but was completely out of everyone’s control. I think there is a common misconception in the Noosa community that Tourism Noosa or Noosa Council actively went out chasing this business, but it caught everyone by surprise. When the announcement was made that Schoolies on the Gold Coast was cancelled, some resorts started receiving large volumes of online bookings for that week. Word quickly spread through Social Media amongst the school leavers and we ended up with intel that thousands of kids were coming to town. I would like to pass on a sincere thank you to Queensland Police, Noosa Council, and the Hastings Street Association for working hard to manage the situation and keep the businesses and community safe. Right now, it is important that we focus on maintaining Noosa’s reputation and ensuring the week goes off without any major incidents. The effect of Schoolies in Noosa has been quite detrimental to businesses on Hastings Street. The kids are not spending money in the shops or cafes and resorts on the strip have received a large volume of cancellations following national media attention. Not what the business community needed right now, but then again, it is 2020 and we need to expect the unexpected. Alan Golley, Tewantin

Casual leave We all know the role that insecure work and casualised employment status has played in some aspects of the pandemic ...right? Casual undertrained security staff in hotel quarantine/ aged care workers working several different sites sometimes in the same day. Some of the outcomes from this were significant to say the least. Now it is clear that not even a pandemic will stop diehard neoliberals from advancing their undermining of the working class agenda. A person with even a small amount of brain power might agree that Vic move to give casual workers mandated sick leave of up to 5 days, makes a lot sense ? In this dangerous virus ridden environment, giving people an option not to work if they are sick. You know normal humane type protections for hard working people, that also provide a bulwark against unnecessary spread of virus. Well the Attorney- General of this fine nation, thinks that this sick leave is a “job killing tax”. Dylan White, Doonan

A busy year for Noosa Council emptied more than 1.5 million bins, fielded more than 88,000 customer service enquiries and approved more than 500 development applications in the 2019/20 financial year. “2020 was a year like no other with the pandemic and the restrictions it brought, but Council worked very hard to keep services running for our community, which the numbers in our latest Annual Report demonstrate,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “Our waste facilities served more than 141,000 visitors, while the libraries found new ways to operate, ultimately loaning more than 349,000 books and other items. “Our street sweeper swept some 10,724 km of road over the 12 months, while work on im-

portant infrastructure projects continued, including the annual reseal program, which saw almost 11 kilometres of road resurfaced,” the Mayor said. “With the incredible efforts of firefighters still front of mind after the bushfires of last year, we’ve focused this year on boosting local fire mitigation efforts ahead of the next fire season.” Cr Stewart said Council had almost doubled its budget on fire trail building and maintenance in Council bushland reserves and had a 71% increase in its budget to increase controlled burns on Council land. “We continued planning for the Cooroy Noosa Road and Beckmans Road intersection upgrade and secured $600,000 from the

Queensland Government for the design phase. Councillor Community Chats - a new initiative Council started this year to boost engagement with the local community - were proving popular, Mayor Stewart said. Council distributed over $1.3 million to community and environment groups plus arts and other projects during the 2019/20 financial year. “Our 300-plus community organisations do tremendous work, and they’ve been hit hard by the pandemic so it’s important that we are able to continue to support them wherever we can.” The Mayor said significant achievements in the 2019/20 financial year included adoption of Noosa’s new planning scheme.

Other highlights included redevelopment of the Noosa North Shore Beach Campground, re-opening the Noosaville Aquatic Centre after a major refurbishment and introduction of a multi-year, environmental grants program which allocated $750,000 over three years to support projects that align with Council’s Environment Strategy. The Annual Report, now available on Council’s website, also includes interesting information about the shire. Noosa has more than 260 square kilometres of protected natural areas, more than 7000 businesses operating in the shire, more than 26,000 local jobs and a population of more than 55,000 people living across just over 20,000 households.

Sunshine Butterflies launch virtual fundraiser Due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19, Sunshine Butterflies has been unable to host many significant fundraisers and events this year. Sadly, this has resulted in a huge loss of fundraising revenue for the local disability support charity. With the need for their services and equipment still remaining high, the non-government-funded charity had to think ahead and create something to mitigate these losses. Thanks to the generosity of 35 local businesses, they have just launched a giant Christmas raffle to the community. Sunshine Butterflies usually participates in numerous community events, fundraisers and host their own special events every year. They have been innovative in keeping their programs and services going, even in a time of crisis when they weren’t open to the public. During their closure they hosted unique Zoom Sessions with all their members, giving them a virtual experience of seeing their friends and participating in online versions of their usual programs. They have recently managed to host a Mothers Day Morning Tea, a small celebration for their 10th Birthday Party and a firstever Sunshine Butterflies Triathlon at their five-acre oasis ‘Our Backyard’. Community Development, Heather Anderson said, “We have been so lucky to be able to provide ongoing programs, activities and events for our members in what has been a difficult year.“ “We were quite devastated to cancel many events that help raise funds for Sunshine Butterflies and help us to continue to provide vital services and programs to members living with a disability.“ Sunshine Butterflies has thought outside the box once again through the generation of

Sunshine Butterflies members Georgia, Allira and Ebony enjoying Sunshine Butterflies programs. their giant Christmas raffle. “The whole community has come together to donate various prizes, from accommodation, experiences, food and beverage, shopping and health and beauty,“ Heather said. “We reached out at a difficult time and

couldn’t believe the outpouring of support we received from our local community.” In this amazing Christmas raffle, there are three major prize draws all valued at over $2000 dollars each. The raffle launched last week and will run until December 14. Tickets are available online via: https://www.sun-

OPINION

On The Soapbox Ben Jackson

Egos are collateral damage in the push for equality It’s time for Noosa Today to pull ’The Soapbox’ out from under people pushing anachronistic, sexist, mansplaining propaganda. We can all agree that no one - men, women or other - should face discrimination, emotional abuse or physical violence. However, the attempt to portray men as a victimised, marginalised and vulnerable group in the opinion piece “International Men’s Day shows men have rights too“ (Noosa Today, 11/20) is a total nonsense. The figures cited were about as dubious as the moral argument. Here are some real and alarming numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare comparing the impacts of

family, domestic and sexual violence on women and men: 1 in 6 women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by a current or previous partner, nearly three times the rate of men. A quarter of women have experienced emotional abuse by a current or previous partner. The comparative figure for men is 1 in 6. 1 in 10 women have been sexually assaulted and/or threatened. Four times the rate for men. Inequality pervades the workplace too. Australia’s national gender pay gap is 14 per cent and at May this year average full-time earnings for women were nearly $300 less per week than for men - a divergence undoubtedly exasper-

ated by Covid. These facts are not, and should not be taken as, an attack on individual men. Nor does it mean we should categorise people using overly simplistic measures of goodness and badness. However, there are structural inequalities and flaws in our society which fail women more often than men, and which need to be addressed. Instead of being defensive, men must partner with women to work towards greater equity for all. That’s an ambition I believe most people in Noosa are already onboard with and that we are progressing towards.

2020 has seen the re-election of Sandy Bolton to state parliament and the number of women on council increase from one to three. These are great indicators that our community wants gender equality and more women in leadership positions. We’re headed in the right direction and if a few old men’s egos are dented along the way, then so be it. (Ben Jackson is a Sunshine Beach local and communications manager for a major international development program that is strengthening governance, education and health outcomes in Papua New Guinea, including an ever-present focus on gender equity and social inclusion.)

A little car, big pay-off Her vibrant artwork is already wrapped around a MINI art car and roving the streets, but last night the laurels kept coming with Natalya Hughes taking out the top gong at the Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2020 announcement. As the Major Art Prize winner, Hughes walks away with $25,000 sponsored by Argon Law and Sunshine Coast Council for her work Gestural Body Painting. Eminent judge of this year’s Sunshine Coast Art Prize, Tracy Cooper-Lavery said in Gestural Body Painting (2020) Hughes took the male dominated history of Abstract Expressionism and turned it on its head. “This piece was painted in a response to Willem de Kooning’s famed Woman series, the thick, gestural brushstrokes of those original works are replaced with intricate pattern, executed in painstaking detail,” Ms CooperLavery said. “The result is a painting that reclaims the female form, capturing it with a new kind of energy and vibrancy. It is an energy that draws from a decorative aesthetic, reminiscent of retro interior design, redeployed in a critical, contemporary way. Hughes has created a clear framework to investigate the history of figurative art that yields fantastic results. “Natalya has said of this painting, “Maybe I was painting the woman in me”, I can’t help but feel she was painting the woman in many of us. Where de Kooning spoke to the joy of the grotesque in beauty, Hughes’ curves and colours are the joy of self-representation— something to celebrate indeed.” Natalya Hughes said like the other paintings in her ‘Maybe I was painting the woman in me’ series, Gestural Body Painting looks to pattern and decoration to say something that couldn’t be said otherwise. “It’s a joyous work for me. It’s playful, and that’s not something I always get to do,” Ms Hughes said. “I’m sure I am not alone in thinking that 2020 was a difficult year. And artists, like many other people, have seen considerable challenges to their industry. It feels really wonderful to be sent the message that my work is worth pursuing, even at the most difficult of times. I’m so very grateful.” The announcement was made last night at Coastline BMW, where four new winners were

inducted into the Art Prize hall of fame. Winner: Natalya Hughes with Ges· Major tural Body Painting Acquisitive prize of $25,000 cash sponsored by Argon Law and Sunshine Coast Council. The artwork will be acquired into the Sunshine Coast Art Collection. Highly Commended: Bundit Puanthong with Feel Free $5000 non-acquisitive prize sponsored by the De Deyne Family. Artist Residency: Kent Morris with Barkindji Blue Sky-Ancestral Connections #1 Sponsored by Montville Country Cabins and Caloundra Regional Gallery. People’s Choice: Christine Druitt-Preston with Olley Land - Take a place at the table. $2500 non-acquisitive prize sponsored by Caloundra Chamber of Commerce. Community Portfolio Councillor Baberowski said the acquisitive Sunshine Coast Art Prize was steadily becoming one of the most dynamic and prestigious visual arts awards in Australia. “The Art Prize gathers a genuinely remarkable selection of accomplished and emerging artists, at the same time as further establishing our region as a major hub for the arts,” Cr Baberowski said. “The Sunshine Coast has real depth in its spread of artists both mature and emerging and now more than ever, our council is committed to grow, nurture and support artists and the art industry. “Council is delighted to accept another great work of art into our increasingly impressive Sunshine Coast Art Collection.” Gallery Director Jo Duke said this year’s art prize had attracted an impressive and diverse range of entries. “The 40 finalist works, by established and emerging Australian artists is on show at the Caloundra Regional Gallery until 6 December 2020 and reflects outstanding contemporary 2D arts practice in Australia.” The Caloundra Regional Gallery is open to all. Entry is free and as well as the impressive range of art on display, visitors will find unique pieces in the gallery store and plenty of kids’ activities. The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday.

Cheering beers at Noosa Springs

Socially creative

By Peter Owen Few diners can claim to having completed a delicious meal with a dessert featuring strawberries soaked in beer. But that is the delight in store for guests attending a unique summer dinner at Noosa Springs next month, where every course features beer-inspired dishes. Aden Moriarty, the head chef of Noosa Springs’ Relish restaurant, has used all his creativity to design a three-course meal that pays homage to Australia’s favourite alcoholic drink. Each dish has been paired with craft brews from Gage Road and Matso’s Broome Brewery. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of ginger beer on ice with lime - a thirst-quencher that strikes a great balance of ginger and subtle sweetness. The entrée is lemon beer battered Mooloolaba prawns in soft tacos, served with charred sweet corn and avocado, accompanied by a Single Fin Summer Ale. That is followed by chilli ginger beer braised beef short ribs, coconut rice, gai lan, shoots and herbs, washed down by a crisp, refreshing Pipe Dreams Coastal Lager. Then comes dessert - coconut panna cotta and Eumundi strawberries macerated in ber-

occasion - Cheers to Beers. The dinner begins at 6.30pm on Friday, December 4, and costs $70 per person. Book by calling Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort on 5440 3333 or email functions@noosasprings. com.au.

FlamenConbrio performs in Noosaville By Abbey Cannan Coming to Noosaville is a fusion of haunting harmonies, pulsing rhythms and dances from Southern Spain combined with hot Latin American rhythms and passionate songs. You will experience Spanish Rumbas and Tangos, Fandangos and Sevillanas, as well as Colombian Cumbias and Cuban Son montuno with its African influences.

Singer Marina “La Nena” Varney is a veteran Colombian singer who feels comfortable in the fields of Jazz, folklore popular music but her heart thrives when singing latin heart felt songs. Dancer Yioda Wilson made the Sunshine Coast her home where she teaches, performs and inspires. Guitarist Tony Miguel has had a long time affair with Flamenco guitar music running his own flamenco tablao in the UK, and also lived in Spain soaking up the fervent flamenco rhythms.

Donovan Rodriguez, is an accomplished guitarist and vocalist, hailing from Mexico, with vast experience in many music styles, relishing in his latin-roots music which he embraces whole heartedly. FlamenConbrio art form can be described as a “conversation” between dancer, singer and musicians. The performance focuses on raw emotions that are specific to the genres. Flamenco and Latin music and songs are known for their emotional context, chords and lyrics which can be dark and dramatic as much as they can be happy and festive.

Two upcoming exhibitions at USC Art Gallery will offer creative interpretations of political, economic, environmental and social issues through art made from found objects or craft-based materials. Marian Tubbs’ exhibition, ’We need privacy guys here too’, presents new and existing works in a range of media, constructed from the physical and digital detritus of contemporary life. The exhibition’s title is a fragment of conversation and reflects the Lismore artist’s interest in language, gender and the internet. The second exhibition Craftivism. Dissident Objects and Subversive Forms is a collaborative, playful and immersive exhibition featuring work by contemporary Australian artists and artist collectives who use craft-based materials with a political intent. This Shepparton Art Museum curated exhibition, touring nationally by NETS Victoria, features artists such as Catherine Bell, Karen Black, Penny Byrne, Erub Arts, Debris Facility, Hiromi Tango, Michelle Hamer and Kate Just. USC Art Gallery Director Megan Williams said both exhibitions opened at USC Sunshine Coast, Sippy Downs, on Friday 20 November and will run until 16 January 2021. “This is Marian Tubbs’ first exhibition in Queensland and I’m excited that she will present a new, site-responsive floor installation that reflects the artist’s strong personal connection with the Sunshine Coast,” Ms Williams said. Marian Tubbs is an artist and academic living and working on Bunjalung and Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi land who has had her work shown nationally and internationally, including at the National Gallery of Australia. The exhibition, curated by Hamish Sawyer for the USC Art Gallery, features works using low-grade and found materials to question ideas of value and raise economic, social and ecological issues. Ms Williams said the Craftivism exhibition aimed to broaden people’s understanding of craft-making traditions. “These artists subvert and extend these forms into the realm of activism and social change, reflecting on the world in which we live,” she said.

Paul Yore’s work ‘Map’. Dancer Yioda Wilson will be performing.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Winding road to Black Ant Trevor Pepys reviews The Black Ant Gourmet, Kin Kin Although he has spent much of his life travelling far and wide, these days - particularly this year - it is fair to say that Trevor Pepys wouldn’t go as far as Kin Kin for his holidays. At least, that is, until he discovered the Black Ant Gourmet. Certainly, it’s a long and winding road that leads to its door, and I’ve seen that road before... singalong now! And Trevor will definitely have Let It Be on Spotify as he drives out there next time, and there will definitely be a next time, because this is a real discovery. Now read on. When the old bush bugger suggested lunch down in the village, I naturally assumed we would be in for a pie floater at the Country Life pub - and nothing wrong with that, stay tuned - but after the traditional “drink of tea” at the homestead, as we jumped in cars to head down the hill, I enquired if he’d thought to book a table at the pub. “No, no, no. We’re going to the Ant. Just follow me.” To be honest, in the recesses of Trev’s busy but confused brain, there was a short paragraph about some tree-changers who had taken over the old general store and post office and created a little café. Something like that. Loosely connected to this was the warning, sounds like Montville tea and scones. It was possible, thought Trev, that the owners had performed a chalet makeover and would have a local amateur yodeling group for entertainment. Nothing could have been further from the truth. As it turns out Jodie Williams and Brett Cowley had been free-range farming in the region for yonks, established Mayan Farm at Kin Kin in 2009, breeding chickens and ducks among other things, and a few years later took over the general store and performed a sensitive and faithful restoration. The moment we walked in and were shown to a table on the terrace, Trev felt at home. Well, maybe not at his home, but at a nice home with an airy veranda from the early part of the previous century, a bit like his grandparents’ bungalow at Penshurst, but without the steam trains belching fumes along the Illawarra Line at the bottom of the garden. For once in his life being in the company of tea-totallers over lunch, Trev went as close to the dark side as he ever gets and stuck to the Japanese Lager ($6) but asked the waitress to be at the ready with refills. He sipped and surveyed the extensive menu before suggesting a four-way sharing. Now, if you’ve ever lived in or known the country, you’ll understand that this is somewhat akin to suggesting we throw the motel keys in the bowl and take a blind pick. It is just not done, old mate. You eat what you order. So Trev ordered the spiced pulled lamb

Smoked salmon Caesar salad. 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 November, 2020

Spiced pulled lamb leg. leg ($26), his missus the Caesar with smoked lemon myrtle salmon ($22), the bushie had the iron bark smoked beef brisket burger ($20) and his missus the roast Mediterranean veggie salad ($21). It looked so good on the table that Trevor was sorely tempted to plant a bottle of the house riesling in an ice bucket at the centre to complete the styling, but in the interests of propriety he made do with a glass ($8). The Caesar with house smoked salmon was beautifully balanced and Trev couldn’t resist grabbing a few forks full while the girls were engaged in girl talk. The Ant boasts a smokehouse and barbeque out the back where they host Sunday lunches, so obviously homesmoking is part of the farm to plate experience. Old bushie mate is a regular at the Ant, so his choice of the smoked beef brisket burger was clearly well informed, but the closest Trev got to it was watching the beetroot relish and Harissa mayo dribble down his chin, but he declared it much better than saddle bag

brisket, in fact close to perfect. Likewise, Mrs Bushie’s roast Med veggie salad, which looked wonderful and disappeared before there was any argument about perhaps leaving a taste for the semi-professional food reviewer, but she said it was excellent. Which brings us to the Indian spiced pulled lamb leg, which folded up neatly in a roti with steamed spinach, coconut sauce and sprinkle of diced chilli. Succulent meat, crisp roti, fresh flavours and just enough heat to need another Japanese Lager, which arrived before you could say I love Kin Kin. The verdict: Just about the perfect country lunch - great food, great service, great company in a relaxed rural setting. And, having shown admirable restraint in the bevvie area, Trev could negotiate the long and winding road back home. The Black Ant Gourmet, Kin Kin, bookings 54854177.

Life Member and Grounds Keeper John Olsen hard at work.

A frustrating year for those at the Noosa Croquet Club By Colin Hindson - Noosa Croquet Club It is the end of a long and frustrating year for Noosa Croquet Club, as it has been for so many other sporting clubs. With Covid restrictions, we have had to curtail our activities, and our social interaction has been of a limited nature, which is why so many of us enjoy being at the Club with our friends. However, we have coped, and people generally have been very good at adapting to the restrictions and working with us to make sure that everyone is safe and all precautions have been taken. Our daily play numbers dropped off for a while early in the year as people learned how to cope with the restrictions, but these numbers have built up again, and we are now en-

joying a good attendance and playing fees are at a solid level. Although we have not been able to participate in any inter-club competitive play this year in any code, the interest is still high, and we have managed to run a few internal competitions - our Jan van der Linden golf doubles competition was a big success, and our club championships in both golf and ricochet ran as usual with a high level of interest. The only inter-club activity was our “Newish player’s competition”- the Habner - Gugich Shield, which is played between Nambour and Noosa Clubs as an attempt to get new and newish players used to competition play. This is a friendly learning experience as well as a competitive one. We ran one game early in the year before restrictions and Nambour holds the Shield, but another round in

October at Noosa put Noosa ahead with the return game due on 12 December, where Noosa is determined to get that Shield back. This has been a good exercise in getting players who do not usually play competitively involved in competition. We have just held our annual general meeting and the main office-bearers from last year have held their positions. John Round is our president, Sally Stopps is our secretary, and James Martin is our treasurer. We have some new committee members and hopefully this bodes well for the future. Our membership is solid - we are actually above expectations for our November numbers, with a high percentage still playing. Our grounds are looking really good with the ground renovations currently being completed, and our groundskeeper and life mem-

ber John Olsen has managed to combine his hard work on the courts with his development of the market garden which is now starting to surround us. Thanks to those volunteers who have worked so hard on the grounds. So, we look forward to 2021. It appears that we may still have some restrictions with us, but we have learnt how to cope and we are looking forward to what comes in 2021. We are hopeful that we can hold a president’s drinks before the end of the year - in the open, suitably distanced and lots of elbow bumping, but a final drinks nevertheless. Please note our final Come and Try morning for the year will be on Sunday, 6 December from 8.30am on. Please ring Niven for details 0428 799 987. Friday, 27 November, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 49

Pin High Peter Owen

Why he kept victory quiet When Mark Kelly sank a metre putt on the 18th hole at Cooroy last week for a par round of 70, his first thought was a forlorn hope that nobody would hear about his astonishing achievement - the first time he had parred a course in nearly 50 years of playing golf. “I shouldn’t have been there,” he confessed. “I took a sickie from work.” But then he thought for a moment. “Ah, what’s it matter?” he said. “I’m retiring next month. What can they do?” Kelly will retire on 17 December after 35 years in nursing - the last few years as head of Sunshine Coast University Hospital’s $60 million simulation centre. That is the place where undergraduates and post-graduates are put through their paces in simulated emergency situations - every conceivable circumstance medicos are likely to face treating patients from the cradle to the grave. “It’s important work and lots of fun,” said Kelly. “And I can proudly say I’ve never lost a mannequin.” Before becoming a nurse Kelly tried his hand at several occupations - pulling beers in pubs, working in the mining industry, in a milk factory and, when he was 12, running an SP book at his school. After nursing in Shepparton for eight years he moved to the Sunshine Coast and initially worked in Intensive Care at Nambour, before going into nursing education. He’s always been a keen golfer and was once club champion at Tocumwal in southern New South Wales. He would also have won a B Grade club championship at Horton Park 15 years ago, but was so excited after a brilliant final round that he forgot to sign his card. He’s been a member at Cooroy for the past few years, where his quick wit and sense of fun have won him a legion of new friends. But last Wednesday’s round, which gave him 42 points and a victory in A Grade, was his first win in Veterans competition. “I felt in complete control of my game - a very rare experience for me,” he said. “I had four birdies and just played terrific.” Golfers seek to become champions The Calvin Klein A, B and C Grade Championships - a 54-hole tournament for club golfers begins today (27 November) at Noosa Springs. This year’s championships have been affected by Covid-19 restrictions, but Noosa Springs’ golf services manager Warren Ellis said 164 players had registered, and had the capacity allowed it, many more would have played. The event, held at the end of November each year, provides an opportunity to play one of Australia’s finest golf courses and is open to amateur golfers who have a registered A, B or C Grade handicap. The 54-hole tournament is played from Friday to Sunday, with a presentation on Sunday afternoon. Glenn takes centre stage Glenn Sunderland and his brother Kerry are close. They grew up together in Sydney, their families holiday together, Kerry followed Glenn to retirement in Noosa, and they play golf together. In 2012 they even combined to reach the finals of the NSW fourball championships together. But on Saturday Glenn stood alone, as the winner of Noosa Springs’ Stableford competition after returning an outstanding 42 points. Not that Kerry was far behind - he scored a commendable 37 points. “We’re not competitive at all,” Glenn said. “On the contrary, we’re very supportive of each other.” Glenn put down his improved form to lessons he took with Noosa Springs teaching pro Peter Heiniger. “He gave me some swing thoughts which I persevered with, and which eventually paid off,” he said. Generous golfers support All Abilities 50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 November, 2020

Putting ego to one side By Peter Heiniger Take the tip One of the most common problems facing club golfers is forcing the shot, and not taking enough club when hitting into the green. Rarely do you see golfers hitting their approach shot to the green over the back. Rather, more times than not, they can be seen chipping up to the hole from short of the green. This can be traced back to trying to force the wrong club to do the work. In doing so, the shot becomes mistimed and comes up short of its intended destination. Good timing is everything is this game. The solution is simple: When you’re next out playing, take at least one club more than you feel you should. You’ll automatically swing easier, time the ball so much better and, as a result, will hit more greens. Never let your ego stand in the way of a good game of golf is what I say, as it’s the score that counts, not the club you use. Good golfing. Peter Heiniger is the Director of Teaching, Heiniger Golf, Noosa Springs.

What can I say? It was just a great round. Mark Kelly celebrates his win in last week’s Cooroy Vets competition. Picture: SUPPLIED Nearly 100 players took part in last week’s All Abilities fund raising day at Cooroy, raising $3400 for the cause of introducing disabled Sunshine Coast people to the game of golf. That figure will swell when a raffle is drawn on 14 December. All Abilities organiser Marc Bright said he was humbled by the generosity of Cooroy members. Smith leaps into world top 30 Cameron Smith, who honed his golf skills on the Sunshine Coast’s Invincibles Junior Tour, has risen to a world number 27 ranking after his runner-up finish at the US Masters. He is now the third-ranked Australian, with only Adam Scott (15) and Marc Leishman (26) ahead of him. It was a leap of 18 spots from number 45, although he had previously been as high as 24th in the world, soon after he won this year’s Sony Open in Hawaii. Although he became the first player in Masters history to shoot four rounds in the 60s, Smith was equal-second behind world number one Dustin Johnson in the Masters, five shots adrift. “We had a few beers around the fire, really nice,“ Smith said after the tournament. “I spoke to Mum first. She was going on like I won the tournament. She was pretty happy. I spoke to my Nana, I spoke to the old man, just family and close friends. Smith, 27, who is coached by Sunshine Coast-based Grant Field, has twice been in the mix in the Masters in the past three years. He finished inside the top five in 2018. He will play only one more tournament this year. Smith and Marc Leishman will pair up for Greg Norman’s Shark Shootout from 10 December. Degotardi contends in strong Tassie Amateur Noosa Springs’ Dino Degotardi played four consistent rounds to finish 15th in this week’s Tasmanian Amateur Championships, an event dominated by visiting Queenslanders. Degotardi (76, 71, 73, 72) finished eight over par 292, and would have done even better but for double bogeys on the 18th hole in the first and last rounds. The 72-hole event, at Mowbray Golf Club, was won by Brookwater’s Louis Dobbelaar (67, 65, 70, 71), who scored an eight-stroke victory from William Florimo, of Atherton. Queenslanders filled the first four positions. Lindy plays her part Noosa’s Lindy Owen teamed with Maroochy River’s Ngaire Kimball for a stunning win in the Maroochy River Ladies Invitational

Day last week. The two players combined brilliantly for 51 points in the fourball Stableford competition that teamed visiting players with a Maroochy River member. Lindy, a Noosa member, was on the card only six times, but her contribution made all the difference. She birdied the Par 4 second for four points, then birdied the 10th and parred the 11th for a total of nine points for those two holes. New events on pro circuit Australia’s leading golfers are expected to kickstart their 2021 campaigns with a four-week Victorian swing that will feature two brand new events. The inaugural Players Series, hosted by former US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, will be played at Rosebud from 28 January, while the Moonah Links PGA Classic is scheduled for 9 February. The four-week stretch of golf forms part of a seven-event conclusion to the 2020/2021 Order of Merit and gives a host of the country’s best players a chance to compete - something they have seldom been able to do during Covid-19. Legends come to Noosa next month Some of Australia’s most experienced golfers, including Peter Senior, Peter Fowler and British Open runner-up Mike Harwood, will play in the Noosa Legends Pro-Am on Tuesday, 8 December. It is the start of the Legends Tour’s Sunshine Coast swing, abbreviated this year due to Covid-19. The visiting veterans will take on a strong local contingent, including Brad Burns, Glenn Joyner and Noosa’s Mark Tickle and Simon Tooman. The event, which will be played at Noosa Golf Club, will be followed by Legend pro-ams at Twin Waters (11 December) and Maroochy River (13 December).

First signs of mackerel As the winds dropped, the boat ramps were pretty much full midweek and quite rightly so. The Noosa bar has been a bit easier to cross and there have been some great weather windows for all. Out wide, North Reef has been holding medium-sized jewfish over the metre mark. These fish will take a wide range of lures and baits, as well as live baits. If you are a bait fisherman be sure to ask us how to snell hooks together. For lure anglers, jigs and soft plastics are the go. I find slow-moving lures best and the nemesis curly tail in darker colours work best. Try jigheads around 1-1/2oz, depending on your depth and keep braids and leaders around 30lb. For a great PE, braid look at Varivas and run a long length of Instinct mono leader to help with stretch. Mackerel are also starting to filter through with some big spotties and smaller Spanish turning up in shallower waters around Noosa and Mooloolaba. For those anglers fishing for

mackerel around Sunshine and Castaways make sure you have a pilchard floater out for these bigger loan fish. There is no need to run big heavy leaders and 30lb is more than enough. Gang hooks are a must and the Elkat gangs, with a tinsel flasher, are going to be very popular as these help give baits added attraction and mackerel love a bit of flash. Let these sink to the bottom in the hope of catching a big one. Closer in, the stretch from Halls Reef heading north toward DI is always a great starting place for tuna and mackerel. Make sure you have a casting slug always ready and again keep braids to 20lb for max casting distance. Look at the Gillies baitfish slugs which are always a consistent producer of big fish. Surf fishing species consist of flathead, bream and dart as the main fish. Around the river mouth we have seen some big whiting showing up. These fish have exceeded the 40-centimetre mark and are best targeted with

fresh beach worms on 4-6kg mono outfits. If you need help with collecting beach worms, we sell worming pliers as well as live worms. The Noosa River has had a mixed bag of species on offer, with flathead and jacks highly targeted. If you own a boat then heading up around the ski run can offer good snags and it has and/mud bottom that flatties call home. From here you can continue up-priver toward the mouth of Cooroibah for flathead and whiting. Small curly tail soft plastics work very well here, as do small paddle tail like the Keitech easy shiner 3 inch. Cast these on to the drop offs and work them out into the main channels. If land-based then the dog beach, Weyba and Noosa Sound will be holding mixed trevally and flathead. After dark the jacks will come out to play, so be sure you are equipped to stop them. Why not browse our range of Black Hawk rods, which are on special and a very tough blank. For those looking for something different

then why not take a trip into the Noosa Everglades and target the wild Bass. These fish certainly run hard and the scenery is nothing short of beautiful. Take small surface lures like the Sammy 65, MMD slash prawn and the soft shell cicadas and flick the edges. You can also take these lures into any of the dams or lakes in the local area. The hotter weather is providing early risers with a good surface bite, which has to be the most exciting way to fish. Be sure to purchase a SIPS permit if fishing any dams or lakes before you go.

Incredibly, the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder won by the narrowest of margins - one run.

Thunder wins by one run By Randall Woodley Two of the three Tewantin-Noosa cricket teams playing last Saturday (sixths had a bye) won their matches in the first round of the two-day format. FIRSTS: On day one of their match against the Maroochydore Swans played at Buderim, the TNT bowlers had dismissed the opposition for 110 runs, with all 10 batsmen out caught. Later that afternoon the Swans had the Thunder batsmen on the back foot and they finished the day on 5/64. Resuming last Saturday, it was a simple equation for the visitors, score 47 runs and get first innings points. The pitch was flat and incredibly slow (even for Maroochydore standards pitch). Just 17 runs off the first four overs cut the margin to 29 before TNT lost their first wicket (6/81). Then both sides began to show the tension with runs very hard to find and the bowlers and fielders on edge. Soon it was 7/99 when Scott Aufderheide was out for 11, but with only 12 to win and three wickets in hand the TNT team began to breathe a little easier. Then two more wickets fell for only five runs and it came down to Tom Freshwater and teenager Harrison Lea to score seven runs for

the last wicket; and Thunder having taken 25 overs for the last 23 runs this was going be a big ask. But man of the match Freshwater delivered and with a boundary past slips saw his team home, winning by one run. His team had batted 34 overs for 47 runs (31 in the last 30 overs) in the morning and displayed some serious fight and showed that they can win the tough games this season. Maroochydore had 66 overs to bat in the second innings and, after being 2/27, decided they would not try for an outright and put the shutters up. Nine TNT bowlers were used with the six wickets taken shared around. Two bowlers’ figures highlighted the Swans’ efforts. Harrison Lea bowled eight overs, five were maidens and he took 1/11 and Aufderheide’s eight overs went for only 10 runs. After a very frustrating afternoon, the Thunder team drove home with the points in the bag and knowing they now had moved to second place on the premiership table. Next Saturday the boys are at home against Gympie Gold. THIRDS: On day one of the first of the two- day games (played at Dale Officer Oval), Maleny had scored 150 in its first innings against the

local bowlers. Last Saturday TNT resumed at 4/69, still needing to do more to gain first innings points. TNT started the chase badly, losing Steve Gallagher (18) and Nick Bennett (33) plus another two to find themselves in trouble at 8/96. Then captain Jason Toohey (63 not out) and Brad Thompson (31) set about changing the game. The pair put on 90 runs to enable the Thunder boys to declare at 9/203. Batting a second time, the TNT bowlers were on fire and bowled Maleny out again before stumps. The top wicket-taker was veteran Robbie Payton who took 5/24 off seven overs. A great win for the team. Next Saturday the team travels to Palmwoods. FIFTHS: When play resumed on the second day’s play, Cooroy was 3/75 needing only 53 runs to pass TNT’s disappointing first innings score of 128. The TNT bowlers started well, snaring some early wickets, but with some dropped catches and missed opportunities Cooroy got the required runs before being all out for 207. Best of the bowlers was Ian Brundell 3/39, Mike Thomson 2/36, Luke Anstey 2/38 and Brendan Chap-

lin 2/42. With 40 overs left to play, TNT was sent back in to bat under lights - 79 runs in deficit. TNT’s main focus was on batting out the remaining overs and not losing the game outright. After the loss of some early wickets, Kent Officer (20*) and Luke Anstey (17*) ground out play to get TNT to a score of 3/59 when the match was called off. In summary, TNT’s batting again let the team down, posting a score in the low 100s, which was not enough for the bowlers to put any pressure on the opposition batsmen. Next Saturday the team commences its two-day match against Yandina at their home ground. Exhibition night match - Thursday, 26 November On Thursday night the Thunder first XI side will take on the Sunshine Coast Scorchers’ top team in a Twenty20 match under lights, commencing at 6pm at Read Park, Tewantin. The local team will be strengthened by the inclusion of ex-international batsman Nathan Reardon and hopefully one of the BBL’s top bowlers, Ben Laughlin. The bar will be open and the pizza van will be on site.

Brilliant Brisbane’s bid By Ian Jobling Pride and euphoria abounded in Brisbane in October 1982. Queenslanders and Australians generally felt ‘they’ had done such a brilliant job hosting the XII Commonwealth Games in 1982 that the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Roy Harvey, immediately set his sights on the Olympics of 1992. With his council’s backing, Harvey formed a project team which outlined proposals for a new international airport, and an arterial road system to link existing and planned sporting venues and accommodation. That done, the Brisbane City Council (BCC) sent a letter to the IOC in January 1983 outlining their intention to bid for the 1992 Games. The next month Brisbane officials travelled to Lausanne for discussions about the bid process, and in April IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch visited Brisbane. Two years later in June 1985, following changes to the BCC, the newly-elected Lord Mayor, Sallyanne Atkinson, attended the 90th session of the IOC in Berlin in June 1985. Atkinson was the key proponent of this bid and the impact of her intellect, charm, and political sense on members of the IOC had a vital bearing in the subsequent bids of Melbourne 1996 and Sydney 2000. The proposed timing of the Brisbane Games produced some interesting arguments. It was suggested that this ‘Olympics Down Under’ would be held between 25 July and 9 August when Brisbane enjoys ‘idyllic dry weather’. This would be beneficial to northern hemisphere athletes because they would compete ‘in-season’. There was, in addition, the regular refrain that only one Olympic Games had been held in the southern hemisphere - “surely to further the Olympic ideals in Oceania, and throughout the world, it is time to hold another”. The catch-cry, ‘Brisbane’s Ready’ featured prominently in a video presentation. It was argued that most of the venues were already in place, and the plans for the remainder had been finalised when the bid was presented in Lausanne in October 1986. The Brisbane bid organisers were sufficiently confident in the progress of their preparations that they were even ready to take over in 1988, following rumours that the preparations for the Seoul Olympics were ‘tardy’ and the Games there might falter. Brisbane, like any other bid city, had its critics as well. There were many who were scathing of Brisbane’s presumption to bid. Murray Hedgcock wrote in the Weekend Australian in 1984: “It’s difficult to know whether to applaud, laugh, or cry about Brisbane’s belated campaign to grab the 1992 Summer Olympics... The last thing they [the European countries] want... is to face a 1992 trek to the other side of the world and also be asked to compete out of season because Australia’s summer is Europe’s winter.” Hedgcock concluded this article with an unkind yet prophetic remark: “He (IOC President, Samaranch) can hardly be blamed for seeking to round off his term of office by persuading his fellows that Spain is ready’’. Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain, was awarded the 1992 Olympic Games, but Samaranch continued as IOC President. Brisbane came third. Immediately after the announcement in Lausanne, representatives of the Australian media asked Sallyanne whether Brisbane would bid again for 1996. Aware of the imminence of council elections, she responded that she would have to ask the people of Brisbane. In my opinion, it was the ‘delay’ by Brisbane which provided the opportunity for Sydney and Melbourne to make a running as the Australian city to bid for the 1996 Games. John Coates, the executive director of the Brisbane Olympic Project Office for the 1992 bid, was interviewed soon after his return to Australia. He said he had little doubt that the AOF again would endorse Brisbane as Australia’s 1996 candidate if it wanted to resubmit. “Climatically, Brisbane is by far our best candidate. For a Sydney Games, you would be looking at October, and November for Melbourne, which is far too late for the northern hemisphere countries”. Four Australian cities - Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney - expressed interest in hosting the 1996 Olympics and throughout

Cartoonist ‘Jeff’ (Geoffrey Hook) at Melbourne’s Herald Sun expressed emotive feelings when Atlanta became the fourth American city to host the Summer Olympic Games. Atlanta’s success was assisted greatly by the promise of extensive funding by the ‘home-based’ Coca-Cola company. Picture: IAN JOBLING COLLECTION

When the Australian Olympic Committee announced Melbourne had won the right to bid for the 1996 Olympics over Brisbane and Sydney, Sallyanne Atkinson said quietly to her ‘bidding team group’ (of which Ian Jobling was a member): “I accept the umpire’s decision, I just think the umpire was wrong”. 1988 an ‘internal’ selection process took place. Immediately following the decision in Canberra that Melbourne should be the Australian city to bid for the 1996 Olympics, Sallyanne Atkinson said quietly to her ‘bidding team group’ (of which I was a member): “I accept the umpire’s decision, I just think the umpire was wrong”. The next day, ‘Leahy’, cartoonist for the Courier Mail in Brisbane, depicted a frustrated Torch-bearer attempting to kindle the Olympic Flame - in pouring rain. ‘Zanetti’, Sydney’s Daily Telegraph cartoonist, expressed a similar disappointment that Melbourne was chosen by the AOC with the caption, “We thought we were bidding for the Winter Olympics”. Similar sentiments abounded throughout Australia over the next few years, but especially in Victoria when the IOC in September 1990 announced that Atlanta would host the 1996 Olympics. One of the slogans used by the Melbourne Olympic Committee was that it was ‘Time for Another Continent’. Not only had the northern hemisphere hosted all Sum-

mer Olympics apart from 1956, North America had hosted five. Many IOC members and representatives from international sports federations who visited Melbourne were encouraging in their comments; this was evident in their formal reports, in the media, and in more informal comments to particular individuals, including me. David Miller, a respected journalist who specialises in writing about the Olympic movement, supported Melbourne’s case for hosting the Olympics in a London Times article, which was reproduced in November 1989 in the Weekend Australian under the headline, ‘Clean, free, safe... and morally justified’. “Members of the IOC arriving in Melbourne to inspect Australia’s bid for the 1996 Games can stand at the top of the Rialto Tower and see, with a single sweep of the eye, the venues for every sport, bar two. Those two, rowing and canoeing, will be 32 km distant... everything else, except equestrianism and archery at the glorious parkland of Werribee - just beyond the city

Sydney’s Daily Telegraph cartoonist also expressed Sydney’s disappointment for not being chosen as the Australian city to bid for the 1996 Olympic Games. - is contained inside a 10 km radius.” Miller was also impressed with specific venues and the Olympic Museum situated at the MCG, which was ‘without equivalent’. He also quoted opinion polls, which indicated public support running at 85 per cent. Although the sentimental favourite was Athens - to celebrate the centenary of the inaugural modern Olympic Games of 1896 - Melbourne was a most worthy contender. Alas, in Tokyo in September 1990, the hopes of Melbourne’s Olympic Flame being kindled in 1996 were doused again when yet another North American city, Atlanta, was elected - assisted greatly by the promise of extensive funding from its ‘home-based’ Coca-Cola company. However, the formal bids by the AOC for the 1992 Brisbane and 1996 Melbourne Olympic Games set the scene for the successful Sydney 2000 bid, which shall be outlined next week.

Standing the test of Covid In our local world of amateur boxing, our Cooroy Impact Boxing Academy owned and operated by Mark Evans, has survived the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the virus, the club is still operating and with an attendance of 20 to 30 members, it is holding strong. “The good point is that the health instructions that we apply to all members have been accepted with no complaints.” Another positive aspect is that all school-based programs are still underway and boxing classes running as per normal. In the month of September, a back to boxing plan was released to help keep all members positive and active. “For those that are still competing it has been very tough and somewhat weird: they have been competing in what we call Closed House Tournaments. By this we mean that the only people allowed in the gyms are the officials and the fighters. Definitely no spectators: it is a simple case of get in, fight and leave,” said coach Evans. To make people understand just how far and serious this Closed House system has been taken, at the MGM Grand Casino in Vegas recently, a young Australian was fighting for an Amateur World Title with no fans in attendance, just officials.” Recently the Queensland championships were held in a gym, the East End Boxing Club at West End Brisbane; this was the final tournament of a very trying year. For our local Impact Boxing Academy, it was yet another successful tournament, with four of the five team members coming home with gold medals. Angie Harries, Erin Carter, Keana Welsh and Page Robinson all won gold in their divisions with the fifth member, Cohen Robinson, losing on a split-decision. Of these, both Carter and Welsh qualified for the Australian selection trials, for the Youth World Championships to be held in Poland next year. “These titles were to be contested this year, but were transferred to next year because of the virus.” While speaking to coach Evans, it became apparent that here, again, was yet another example of our local people standing by their club, but most important their coaches. This is something that I have witnessed again and again: it is something in which our families should take pride. After 15 years of our Impact Boxing Academy, training in a small gym amongst the trees off Blueberry Drive Black Mountain, the club will, in the new year, move to a state-of-the-art complex in Cooroy. “This has been a long time coming,” said Coach Evans, “but I can assure you the move will be well worth while.” Also, despite Covid-19, our local Aussie Rules club, the Noosa Tigers, is travelling in a very progressive and positive state of mind. Under the leadership of club president Rob Purves and the support of a special general meeting, it was unanimously decided to move their club into the top division of the Queensland State League, the QAFL. “This will be a massive step forward for us,” said Rob. “Not only will we be playing in the top grades next season, but it also creates a pathway for juniors: they won’t have to leave their hometown to play at the top level. Also, it will be great for the community: they can come to their local club and watch top level AFL.” As things stand the present draw indicates that there will be four games on the Gold Coast, six games in Brisbane, and a possible 10 games at home. Formed in 1970, this is a proud club with a total of 10 premiership wins. They now have some 453 members on their books. Despite last season being difficult, the Tigers went well - winning the senior grade premiership, runners-up in reserve grade and, in the first year of women’s competition, their ladies team won the premiership. “For the seniors,” said coach Adam Bovalino, “this was their fourth grand final in a row and our second consecutive win. Also, our move up to the next level has been the result of a lot of hard work over the last few years by our members and supporters; we now have a perfectly good club with a strong junior team to hold us in good stead for the future.’’ Also, during the season, the Tigers had the privilege of playing host to the visiting 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 November, 2020

Mark Evans at Impact Boxing. Melbourne-based AFL club St Kilda: this was a sporting gesture to support the Saints who were inconvenienced by the virus. “Their conduct was excellent and we enjoyed their company: we wish them all the best in the season ahead. Having them train in our community was a great advertisement for our code.” For the Noosa Heads Surf Club boat section, their crews are once again starting to show that this season they will definitely be a force to be reckoned with. At the recent surf boat carnival, Round 1 of the Qld Team Navy Series at Mermaid Beach, their results in a very choppy surf were very pleasing for boat captain Anthony Fox. “The last few months have been trying for our crews, but they have maintained a great attitude to their training programs and their performance at Mermaid Beach speaks for itself.” Speaking with boat sweep and coach David Tomba, he endorsed the remarks of the boat captain. “The performance of the girls at this time of the season is indeed very encouraging. However, we are very interested in increasing the number of men’s crews, so we invite any young fellows interested in a career of rowing to come and visit us at the Noosa Surf Club for

a chat and a look around.” Rowing under their team names, the women’s results were as follows: In the open women’s, the Chums took first and in the reserve grade Woodswallow first and the Bandits third. In the under-23s, Scrub Turkeys were first and the Spangled Drongos third. And, in the under-19s, the Kookaburras finished first. For the men’s section, in the Masters, the Macaws finished second and the Emus third in their class. This weekend at Coffs Harbour the club will be represented by the women’s Woodswallows and Spangled Drongos. The next carnival of the Navy Series will be Round 2 at Mooloolaba on 5 December. This will be the last round for points that will enable crews to be invited to the Queensland Selection Carnival. Because of the large number of women’s crews, the ladies decide to select names for their various crews and the results have been rather interesting. It is good to see the boat crews so strong. As boat rowing is very much a team sport, the team spirit will eventually spread through the clubs and as we all know, a good team spirit is essential in all successful clubs. We wish them well.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Schoolies - why can’t they be like we were? Okay schoolies, you’ve trashed the beach, made a lot of noise and hopefully got it out of your system, but could you please go home now? Apart from the disgraceful trashing of Main Beach last Saturday night, for which the schoolies deserve to be called out loud and clear, I guess it’s easy and predictable for older generations to put down this release valve and coming of age ritual. For starters, we’re jealous. When I finished school more than half a century ago, it didn’t have a name but it was schoolies just the same. In a couple of weeks I would start work as a copy boy while I waited on results, uni admissions and so on, but for now we had a plan, and it involved four mates, a beater of an FB Holden with a pile of trackers and pintails tied to the roof and the Pacific Highway leading north. Our mission was waves, women and whacko-the-diddle-o, and while the summer nor’easters meant we rode back beach dribblers most of the time, we found our nirvana at the Bellevue Hotel in Tuncurry, then home to the best live bands and hottest assortment of femlins on the mid-north coast. Surf all day at Boomerang or Blueys, hamburgers at Forster then on the prowl at the Belly before sleeping it off on the sand. I’m not going into detail in a family newspaper, but we went home tired and happy, the old FB even more beaten up, thanks to Rutile & Zircon’s rough beach tracks. The suspension had gone completely and shifts in the backseat were painful. We had no money to fix it so there was just one solution - write it off in an accident and collect the insurance. The plan was to drive across an intersection as an oncoming car would have to give way to the right, and the FB would be forced to swerve into a power pole to miss it. This was all very scientific, we even had a tape measure. After a couple of aborted attempts, everything looked perfect as a blue Hillman came towards the intersection. The signal went from spotters to driver and it was action! From my spotting position I saw the FB cruise into the path of the Hillman, then swerve hard and aim for the post, which he missed and ploughed heavily into a deep drain as the driver of the Hillman swerved hard the other way and came to rest on the footpath. Our history master got out and grabbed the driver, threatening to call the police unless the accomplices showed themselves. It didn’t end well, but no one was hurt and no one went to jail. And that was before schoolies became a thing, so it doesn’t count, right? That season on the Bukit While hunting vainly through archive boxes in vain for some documents I still haven’t found, I came across two old black and white prints I’d forgotten I had. I think they were taken by Bob Pearson (later Pearson Arrow Surfboards in Santa Cruz) who was my room-mate on my first trip to Bali in 1974. It’s coming up on half a century since these black and whites were taken on a little Kodak, so the images might be sketchy but it’s definitely the Bali we knew and loved so much. It’s ironic that the waves of the Bukit peninsula had never been as empty as this again, until these past few months of lockdown. That’s me on my Bali Easy Rider rented bike ($1 a day for 35 days) at the beach end of Poppies Lane 1 (there was no 2 in those days) just a stone’s throw away from our room at the Kodja Beach Inn. Note the boots, Carnaby Street specials from my London work stint a few months earlier. The shorts are from a new mob called Quiksilver. The surf shot could be anyone but apparently it’s me on the best session I had that

That looks like a fishing prahu almost in the lineup, and count the surfers in the water. We had to walk in from the temple in those days, and apart from the Windro compound about halfway, there was absolutely nothing along that clifftop. Fortunately, Windro’s grandkids would come down with buckets of

warm Cokes to keep us hydrated. By next season those same kids were carrying our boards in and out for a buck each way. By the next year they started venturing out into the surf on broken boards, and the rest is history. Get your tickets for the ball!

The high levels of activity are well reported and attributed to a combination of low interest rates being attractive to borrowers and unattractive for bank depositors, plus more people are working from home and leaving big cities.” The long-term outlook for continuing low interest rates and the influx of southerners expected once borders open, bodes well for an even stronger market ahead. “There is close to zero availability for permanent rentals and we are aware that many people moving here have difficulty getting children into schools.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car waterfront apartment 7/8 Quamby Place, Noosa Heads, is scheduled for auction on Saturday, November 28, at 1pm. 221844

Interest in the three-bedroom, twobathroom riverfront apartment has been strong ahead of Saturday’s auction scheduled for 1pm. Most interest has been from South-east Queensland, Luke said, to use as a holiday apartment but also a weekender. It especially appeals to those with boats as Las Rias has a pontoon jetty at the front. “The proportions of the apartment mean it has been getting lots of interest from surrounding owners looking to upsize,’’ Luke said. “It has one of the longest water views along the Noosa River.’’ The 144sq m end apartment is selfcontained and has a long, wide wraparound balcony/terrace. ELEVATED POSITION It’s a good location, above junction and within walking distance down to the beach. Rick Daniel of Richardson & Wrench Noosa said there is interest in the twobedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 4/13 Viewland Dve, Noosa Heads, that is set for auction on Saturday, November 28, at midday. There has been building and pest

reports commissioned, a prior offer and late requests for inspections on the unit that is tenanted until April. “One party from Victoria has had her mother look at it. She lives in Queensland and will probably be bidding on her behalf. “An offer came from another party, originally from Victoria but who has been living here and looking to find right property.’’ Brisbane interest has been from those wanting to use it as a weekender or to holiday rent. The apartment offers a large, covered balcony with hinterland and water glimpses. Avenal is a small apartment block with pool and low body corporate fees. COUNTRY GRANDEUR Vicki Pain and Jen Galinska of Ray White Rural Eumundi are excited about their latest listing .... a beautiful modern Queenslander on 12.14ha at 1495 Kenilworth-Skyring Creek Rd, Tuchekoi. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom, two-car house overlooks a large dam and the fertile property that goes to auction on-line at 10.30am Friday, December 18. “It’s a grand Queenslander on a beautiful 30 acres,’’ Vicki said. “A blank canvas.

SINCE May there has been an unprecedented level of activity in the Noosa market at all price levels, and Noosa real estate principal Tom Offermann believes there is no reason for the activity to slow down. The team at Tom Offermann Real Estate negotiated 17 sales in excess of $5million since September, including four sales breaking $10 million,” Tom explained. “The $5 million-plus sales include a beachfront apartment in Hastings Street, three in Little Cove in the past month, and multiple houses on Noosa Sound and on the eastern beaches. “It’s an exciting time with a lot of competition for a limited number of properties as buyers scramble to secure what’s available. “A lot of the activity was initially instigated by southerners buying, but subsequently a lot of those sellers have

ON THE COVER

STELLAR WATERFRONT SO CLOSE TO HASTINGS STREET THE magnetism of paradise on a northeast facing, wide white-sand waterfront, with almost 180-degree sweeping Noosa Sound river views, is undeniable. Not surprising, there has been an influx of optimistic wealthy investors and luxeinclined visitors descending the sub-tropics in recent times, turning dreams into reality. The leafy streetscape, bright white wall, and artistic timber struts across the facade of the residence are impressive, as is the front garden with magnolias, sandstone path and spectacular bronze bird bath by wellknown Melbourne sculptor Willie Wildlife. Open the glass-paneled double doors, step inside. Marvel at the ingenious design, and how the clerestory ceiling and banks of glass louvres and panes in the higher part of the void, saturate the massive predominantly neutral toned, openplan living spaces, with natural light. Another deliberate consideration was the north-east aspect, 19-metre water frontage and preened white sand beach, hence the residence’s perfect positioning on a broad curve of the waterway, which incidentally is also close to the actual Noosa River. Capitalising on the attributes, sliding glass doors across the width of the residence seemingly disappear and blur the lines, to timber decks and sandstone terraces on three sides, also the shimmering pool with spa and sandstone water feature wall. Looks like the alfresco scene is set for summer from lolling on a sun lounge, lunching with friends or confabulating over sundowners on the T-shaped jetty. Boating and fishing enthusiasts will be in seventh heaven, while stand-up paddle boarders and kayakers will relish the peacefulness of sunrise. All exemplify the adage that luxury is meant for everyday living. Entertainers will love the kitchen with its stone topped benchtops including the 2-metre island bench, premium appliances, and gas strut servery window for breakfasts alfresco. On this level as well, is one of two master suites. It has lime-washed timber flooring, a walk-in robe and bathroom with bathtub, also doors opening to the side courtyard. In the north-west wing are two bedrooms, a stunning family bathroom including walk-in drencher shower, plus a laundry. Upstairs, the mezzanine/media/family

space overlooks the living spaces and has water views, however not nearly as spectacular as those viewed from the plush carpeted master suite or the balcony. In addition, there is a walk-in robe, large bathroom, kid’s bedroom, and an office/ storeroom. “Noosa Sound ‘wears’ many hats,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter who is taking the property to auction on Sunday, 13 December, 2020. “From the playground of the rich and famous to the locals who call it home and enjoy the convenience of a sound lifestyle, also the location is just a 5-minute walk to Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park. “Whatever the reason, the investment future of properties such as this easy-breezy waterfront residence is totally secure. Bring your boat. Everything else is here.” Facts & Features: Land Size: 663m2 House Size: 328m2 Water frontage: 19m; T-shaped jetty 10m x 4m; boat trailer with electric winch purpose-built on site Garage: 2-car; lime-washed timber flooring; fitted out as gym/recreation space; pull-down stairway to storage in roof; covered 2-car space Pool: new heated Nautilus pool + spa; sandstone feature water wall; sandstone stain proof tiled surround About: bedrooms lime-washed timber or carpeted; tinted windows; aircon./fans; electronic blinds and louvres; security incl alarm + gate code Garden: bronze Willy Wildlife birdbath (value $9,000); Hebel stone garden statue by Imron Abdul in Eumundi Kitchen: stone-topped soft-close 2-pac cabinetry; 2m island bench; gas strut servery window; Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher; Smeg oven and induction cooktop Laundry: fully equipped; access to drying area Inventory: negotiable Location: walk to Hastings Street, boutiques, bars and nationally known restaurants, Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park and world recognised Surfing Reserve; Noosa Village, gym, cafes, Gympie Terrace and Noosa River foreshore; close to transport links, supermarkets and services ●

From the leafy streetscape in a quiet cul-de-sac on Noosa Sound, the bold contemporary design, accented by mature Pandanus, is a standout, as is the slate feature wall, and the wide pivot bespoke glass and timber slatted front door. Admire the evergreen frangipani garden on the right, also lofty ceilings, double height glass panes and banks of louvres. Natural light drenches indoors and casts wispy shadows over the travertine tiled floors, which seem to stretch endlessly from the hallway, to the big tease of being on the waterfront. Take a moment to swoon over the expansive open-plan living areas boasting a sunny design-forward aesthetic, evocative of memorable times hosting family and friends indoors and out. On the northern side, glass sliders seemingly disappear to reveal a private garden and covered terrace, the first of many entertaining options. It wraps around the living and dining spaces and abuts the glistening wet-edge pool with pool deck and copper-look waterfall wall. Overall, the extensive back 'garden' has a dazzling panorama of the wide waterway yet appears to be perched on the 20-metre water's edge. But look, there's more. Four timber steps to the white sand beach make it easy to 'launch' a kayak or stand-up paddleboard into the clear clean river, which is at the end of a quiet cul-desac. There is a pontoon and the jetty is perfect for sundowners, yet long enough for a power boat requiring deeper water. In addition, it is easy access to the Noosa River and the Everglades. With an accent on effortless entertaining, an enticing kitchen is a necessity. From a butler's pantry, long island stone bench/breakfast bar and counter tops, to high-end appliances including a gas cooktop, it is all here. In the north wing on this level, another very appealing feature is one of two king suites. The over-generous space, with walkin robe and granite-tiled ensuite bathroom opens out to a courtyard-style garden. There is also a media room, powder room, storage under the stairs and a drying deck is accessed from the laundry. Upstairs the mezzanine level is akin to a family retreat with a central/media/ library space. The king suite with ensuite

bathroom and walk-in robe has a balcony overlooking the wide waterway and jetty; a queen-size suite with walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom has a northerly aspect; and the fourth bedroom shares the familysized bathroom. "For anyone seeking to cultivate a sunny state of mind in a safe, secure and stunningly beautiful oasis, this residence simply has it all, " enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Julie Bengtsson, "and the millionaire's playground is the perfect destination for high-flyers seeking an unrivalled lifestyle. "Noosa Heads is the domain of many and on the wish-list of many more, however in one of the most exclusive streets and just 10-minutes from Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park, is the current hottest opportunity for a sage investor."
