Making a difference
Noosa survives Schoolies By Margaret Maccoll The week-long Schoolies celebration turned ugly on its final night last Friday when an alcohol-fuelled mob on Noosa Main Beach pushed the limits of police who were trying to quell their unwanted behaviour. Police on horses and on foot moved into a crowd of thousands on the beach to diffuse a heightening situation and remove a generator and boom box that was further exciting the crowd. Schoolies closed in behind the horses, waving their arms and chanting loudly, but the horses and riders stood firm while a police vehicle moved in, collected the music machine and moved on. Police quickly brought the situation under control, with a couple of men escorted away. See pages 4 & 5 for more. Mounted police ride in to control schoolies mob. Picture: ROB MACCOLL
Heroes with heart By Abbey Cannan The quick-thinking actions of passersby has saved the life of a man who was found unconscious and bleeding from the head along the Noosa River pathway. A defibrillator located at The Boathouse in Noosaville has now saved two lives, with paramedics calling the recent events that followed James Ainslie’s heart attack “a miracle”. Noosa local Lisa Smith used her sports
medicine training to take over CPR from Julie Pyne who was first on the scene. “I was walking as I always do every morning along the river and I saw in the distance that a man had fallen to the ground a lady sitting over him,” she said. “The closer I got, I could see she was doing CPR and she was doing press compressions and I asked if I could help. “I could see the man had fallen down and
cracked his head as there was blood on the path.” Lisa said as she moved around to take over the CPR from Julie, she checked the status of James and noticed he was unresponsive and blue. “I immediately started more aggressive CPR. What Julie had done was terrific but the situation needed a more aggressive approach,” she said.
“I basically did compressions for close to five minutes and during that time a number of people had started to assist. You could tell he had an obstructed airway. We thought we had him a couple of times but he obviously needed a little bit more intervention so we had to continue with compressions.” A lady riding past then jumped on her bike to The Boathouse and brought back a defibrillator.

The Noosa Aquatic Centre was a double winner at the AUSTSWIM 2020 QLD Awards of Excellence, taking out top honours in both the Swim School and Swim Teacher categories. On announcing the NAC as Qld Swim School of the Year, AUSTSWIM Ambassador and Olympic Gold Medallist Brooke Hanson said the NAC had a reputation of exceeding customer expectations. “Monthly visits to coastal and hinterland communities and regular childcare centre visits by the centre’s mascot Sammy Seahorse and complimentary introductory classes to infants are just some of the NAC Swim school’s initiatives to spread the water safety message throughout the community,” Ms Hanson said.
NAC Learn to Swim Program Coordinator Rita Montague said it was wonderful for the swim school to receive this award from the leading peak body in Australia for the training and development of swim teachers. “It’s testament to the passion that our teachers share in educating and giving our community the life skill of swimming,” Ms Montague said. In another coup for the centre, NAC swim instructor Lina Young was singled out to be named Qld top Teacher of Swimming and Water Safety. The award recognises Ms Young’s commitment to teaching vital water skills to our younger generation.
Ms Hanson said Ms Young has a unique ability to engage and connect with her students, gain their trust and encourage them to have a go, regardless of their ability. Ms Young said it was a great honour to be chosen for this award. “I love working within the swimming industry. It is so rewarding to teach children through their different ages and see them develop in their swimming abilities,” Ms Young said. Noosa Council’s Recreation Facilities manager Ashley Saward said it was great for the NAC to receive peer recognition for what they had known for some time - that the NAC offers one of the state’s leading learn to swim programs and has some of the best teachers in the industry. “It’s wonderful for the team to receive this acknowledgement and we couldn’t be prouder of their efforts,” Mr Saward said.

Christmas is almost here, the borders have re-opened and everything has returned to normal - almost. Santa has become a lot more mysterious this year, have you noticed? Maybe it adds to his appeal and just like working from home will become a trend that lingers. Noosa Civic has been very inventive using a green scene to capture photos of the kids with Santa beamed in from the North Pole. At Eumundi last week Santa had barely arrived before he was whisked away followed by a mob of screaming children in hot pursuit.Noosa Council and emergency services are opting for spreading some cheer in a Christmas drive by. This evening come along to Christmas in Cooroy, enjoy the festivities and see if you can catch a glimpse of the man in red. Someone who has now left Noosa, much to the relief of a few, are schoolies.They came, they partied and they made their presence known.Things got a bit crazy on Main Beach last Friday night but hats off to our police and visiting police, particularly Sgt Teala Muller and senior constable Amy Walkden and their horses Idol and CJ, who did an outstanding job keeping order.

Strangers save James
Noosa’s Gemma J, Chloe M, Ivy C and Ayla D will be performing in Brisbane’s historic Christmas Panto ‘Christmas In Storyland’.
Local dancers to star in iconic play Four young dancers from Noosa have successfully auditioned for a part in Brisbane’s historic Christmas Panto ’Christmas In Storyland’. After two decades on ice this iconic pantomime is making a comeback. It was a popular Christmas tradition throughout the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s for many families who would make the big trip into the City to watch the show at Brisbane’s City Hall. The panto always featured a strong cast of talented children who would sing and dance their way through a fun musical Christmas story, complete with goodies, baddies and of course, Santa. This year, four local dancers will make the big trek to Brisbane for intensive rehearsals culminating in three days of performances at South Bank’s Piazza on 11, 12 and 13 December. The girls all dance at Noosa’s new pop-up dance studio ’Studio 4 Dance’, operated by Karla Costanzo who also performed in ’Christmas in Storyland’ for several years throughout the 80’s and 90’s.
Four local dancers will make the big trek to Brisbane for intensive rehearsals. Her daughter Ivy is one of the dancers in the show, along with friends Chloe M, Ayla D and Gemma J.
“When I found out about this opportunity, I just had to get the girls to the audition,” Karla said. “Performing in Christmas in Storyland was such a highlight of my childhood and I’m so thrilled my daughter and her friends will have the same wonderful experience I did. “It’s a magical show and a magical time of year and it’s nice to know the pantomime will be experienced by another generation.” Studio 4 Dance has grown organically from a group of friends who wanted to dance together in a fun, feel-good environment. Ms Costanzo has been able to call on her friends and contacts in the industry to bring first-class instructors to teach a plethora of dance genres to the young dancers. They have been enjoying commercial jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, breakdance and musical theatre workshops and classes in Peregian.Tickets for Christmas in Storyland will be available for purchase from 28 November.

From page 1 “While we were continuing CPR we then instructed her on how to prepare the defibrillator,” Lisa said. “They are very user-friendly but if you’ve never used one before it can be hard to do it quickly in a pressured environment. Unfortunately I’ve had to do it three times now and I worked for thirty years in medicine so I’m quite aware of what has to be done. “We got a reaction from him and we could tell we got him back. We lost him a couple times and got him back so that was good.” About four minutes after they shocked James, the ambulance arrived and took over. “He was a lucky man. It wasn’t his time to go. There were too many good people around him helping,” Lisa said. “His wife rang me and the ambulance and they said it was a great result and called it a miracle.” James’s daughter, Tori Aufderheide, said there were many people she wanted to thank. “I want to thank Julie Pyne, Lisa Smith, there was also a deputy principal from one of the schools who rode down and got the defibrillator and the people at The Boathouse, and the ambulance officers. I’m grateful for the whole lot of them,” Tori said. She said James was still in hospital but was awake and talking. “He’s got a long road to recovery but he is doing a lot better than he was on Thursday that’s for sure,” she said. Noosa Rotary Tess Alexandroff said the Rotary Club have provided several defibrillators along Gympie Terrace. “We’ve purchased six defibrillators over the past 12 months positioned along the river and other places,” she said. “The shame is that there is no signage up and people don’t know where they are. If we could do something about that aspect that would be fantastic because lifesaving is what we’re about.”
A biker rider quickly rode to Noosa Boathouse to get the defibrillator that helped save the man’s life.

Schoolies scolded, Noosa survives By Margaret Maccoll From page 1 Acting inspector Ben Carroll said there had been a change in the crowd Friday night with newcomers bringing in a different attitude from the week’s relatively well-behaved schoolies. He said the situation could have been much worse had police not confiscated and poured out many litres of alcohol before it arrived on the beach. A mob can change in an instant, he said. The week long management of the crowd was a tribute to the skilled work of police and the assistance provided by emergency and community services. It was a relief to all when it ended. We don’t want it again, Inspector Carroll said. We’re too small for it. Mayor Clare Stewart said the priorities across the week were keeping everyone safe and protecting property and the environment

and managing the visitors involved a major collaboration across government, business and service organisations with many people working around the clock. “All in all the kids were pretty well behaved,“ she said. “Going forward these large scale events are best suited for the Gold Coast. They have the infrastructure there. Every year we have people here for end of school celebrations but we are not set up for it.“Acting senior sergeant Troy Cavell said across the week schoolies behaviour had generally been good and the few noise complaints they received were no more than on any weekend. On Friday night police arrested two schoolies and 5 non-schoolies (mostly locals) all for public nuisance, he said. There was no reported damage and after some rubbish was left behind after last Saturday night’s celebrations most schoolies disposed of their rubbish properly with the incentive of receiving a free food voucher encouraging others to help clean up.
Acting sen sgt Cavell said the school leavers gathered at Main Beach in the evenings during the week, “like moths to a tennis court“ before returning to their accommodation. “They were still in school mode,“ he said. “We’d tell them that in half an hour we’re turning off the lights and closing the beach. We’d turn off the lights and they’d all go home. We thought, that’s easy.“ The school leavers themselves told Noosa Today they’d had a wonderful week in Noosa, loved the environment and wanted to return. “We had the best time,“ one girl said. “It’s a lot nicer than the Gold Coast. We just caught up with friends and had fun.“ The school leavers said they spent their days going to the beach, hiking in the national park and visiting one another in their accommodation. One group said they camped at Noosa North Shore and loved the “chilled“ atmosphere. “We just hope we’re not annoying people,“ they said.

The student and the chef A courageous chef and a schoolie with a big heart are this week’s nominations for Noosa Today Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year from Johanne Wright, the former Noosa Alive director and Friends of Noosa activist. Have your say Noosa Today is looking for nominations in both categories 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. Please explain why you have chosen your nominees in 100 words or less, and email with photos if you have them, to phil.jarratt@noosatoday.com.au or newsdesk@noosatoday. com.au The Noosa Today Citizens of the Year will be announced in our first issue of 2021. Johanne’s nominations Citizen of the Year Like so many restaurateurs, Andrea Ravezzani, of Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar, faced a devastating future when full lockdown occurred in early 2020. Like so many of his peers, he had to find a solution or face closing the door. Andrea’s strength and point of difference was his fundamental belief in his staff - they are and always will be part of his family as far as he is concerned, and he wanted to do everything to keep them employed. And they all wanted their customers to be satisfied and for the business to keep going. Waterfront’s take-away business became front and centre of the survival model, creating an extended menu of quality restaurant
Johanne Wright food for people to take away and enjoy in their homes. Andrea also created pasta dishes and pasta sauces for the local hospital, in recognition of the need for great Italian food to be available when sourcing supplies became harder. Customers and locals loved this and came back for more. Andrea has been an inspiration to others, and since restrictions have eased, the restaurant is flourishing with new functions such as the outstanding successful Ruinart “Upside Down Dinner” in October being followed this
Andrea Ravezzani week with the “North Meets South” winemaker dinner. Young Citizen of the Year Lawson Kingsley Smith is 18 years of age and until last month was a student at the Good Shepherd College in Noosaville. He has now graduated. In December last year, after discussions with his family, he decided to become a volunteer at Sunshine Butterflies during his school holidays. Lawson began work in the garden, helping with mulching, building and a host of
tasks that he could do, coming from a farming background. Sunshine Butterflies have come to depend on his skills in the garden and animal farm and are very impressed with his personable approach to all who work there. Lawson has also enjoyed his experience and feels that he has gained far more from his volunteering than he has given to Sunshine Butterflies. Lawson is a shining example of a young teenager who is strongly community minded.

Blackened landscape.
Local crews fight blaze By Margaret Maccoll Thirty Sunshine Coast firefighters headed to Fraser Island Monday morning to battle an out of control bushfire that had already consumed about 74,000 hectares of bushland on the World-Heritage-listed sand island. As ground crews battle, aerial firefighters have saved a campsite managed by a Noosa-based tour company. Sunshine Coast QFES inspector Matthew Inwood said the rural firefighters who accompanied five fire trucks to the island replaced 30 Sunshine Coast firefighters who had been on the island for about three days prior, fighting the fire. Inspector Inwood said QFES ground crews were working together with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation to limit the spread of the
fire and minimise environmental and cultural impacts while 10 aircraft crews fought it from above. He said crews had created fire breaks and were back burning off them but there were difficulties in reaching the fire in inaccessible areas. The bushfire has been burning on two fronts - one front burning north east of Kingfisher Bay Resort with the second front on the eastern side of the island, about two kilometres south of Cathedrals on Fraser. About 4pm last Sunday firefighters contacted James Kendall from Noosa-based Discovery Adventure Group to tell him the fire was just north of the three acre campsite his company leases from the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation and heading straight for the 106 tent campsite. James said the group operates overnight
tours to Fraser Island for visitors who stay at their campsite. The last group to visit the island returned on Friday with this week’s tours cancelled because of the fire. Aerial crews dropped their water bombs on the campsite, saving it from the blaze that circled the camp on its path southward. It was a great relief for the company that has been hard hit by COVID. “It’s been a pretty ugly year,“ James said. “We had a team of 57. We got down to two with COVID, now we’ve built up to 32 with Jobkeeker.“ If not for firefighters the fire believed to have been caused by an illegal campfire would have wiped out their campsite, their infrastructure as well as a house owned and occupied on site by the Butchulla people. The Discovery Adventure Group is one of the few companies with a licence to conduct
guided eco-tours on the World Heritage listed Fraser Island. James said they were fortunate so far that the damage from the fire was in areas they did not visit but it was devastating that about 40 per cent of the island had been burnt. The group has had to cancel five tours this week and will likely have to cancel more next week. “That hurts when you’re trying to rebuild,“ he said. Weather conditions have been predicted to exacerbate fire and smoke conditions with the smoke affecting the island and Noosa. Travel to the island has been restricted and residents, campers and visitors already on the island have been advised to limit their movements to within close proximity of where they are staying and avoid travelling on the inland tracks and roads.

Noosa says no to violence By Margaret Maccoll The fallout from COVID-19 has included a drop in overall crime in Noosa but an alarming 25 per cent increase in domestic violence. Last Sunday Zonta Noosa organised a walk along Gympie Terrace to show a unified voice from the community saying no to violence against women and raise awareness of the issue of domestic violence in Noosa. The walk marked the beginning worldwide of “16 days of activism“ by Zonta clubs to halt violence against women. Zonta member Fiona Jacob said statistics showed raising awareness of the issue definitely helped improve the situation. “A lot of people think there’s no domestic violence in beautiful Noosa, but there is,“ she said. She said raising awareness gave women courage to speak out and alerted people to the issue. Acting inspector Ben Carroll, who took part in the walk, said domestic violence issues took up 30-40 per cent of police time in Noosa. “From a policing perspective it’s really important to be seen in this arena,“ he said. “We see so much of it. Inspector Carroll believes the increase in domestic violence has resulted from the pressures placed on people by the pandemic. He said police knew businesses were experiencing increased financial pressure, the sales of alcohol had increased significantly and the use of drugs had increased. The COVID environment has caused added pressure that has led to unhealthy behaviours, he said. Government welfare payments and stimulus packages had provided money in the community and crimes such as break and enters and robberies have dropped, he said. “People need money,“ he said. Noosa police implore members of the Noosa community who are experiencing difficulties to seek assistance from the various support agencies operating across the Noosa Shire.
Noosa Zonta marches to stop violence against women. Zonta Noosa president Margie Fisher said across the 16 Days of Activism there were a range of actions planned and to draw attention to the campaign has adopted the use of the colour orange. The organisation has worked with Noosa Council to post notices in public toilets to inform victims of domestic violence of local services available to assist them. A banner has been erected at the Lions Park at Noosa Heads, the Hastings Street Association are organising orange lighting for the main Hastings Street roundabout while Bendigo Bank and the Noosa Library are hosting

promotional displays for the whole duration of the event, Margie said. Noosa Zonta also prepares care packages for women and children fleeing domestic violence situations. Zonta member Alison Upton said the packages were made up of 30 items and included toiletries and a document folder with pen and paper. She said each month 6-8 were distributed to victims in Noosa. To make donations for the care packages or for more information visit Zonta Noosa on Facebook.
Mosaics at Cooroy highlight strength and sacrifice brighten the streetscape of Cooroy, attracting locals and visitors alike to view the panels and drawing their attention to the sacrifices made by the Defence Services Personnel who have helped make Cooroy the strong community it is today,” Mr O’Brien said. “I congratulate the Pomona Cooroy RSL on their successful application for funding, and thank the Sub-Branch committee and artist Sue Hoskins for their hard work and dedication in creating this beautiful commemorative artwork.” Other successful Wide Bay applicants in Round 5 of the Stronger Communities Pro-
gramme include Noosa disability service Sunshine Butterflies, Noosa Boardriders, Cooroy Gymnastics, Cooloola Coast Medical Transport, Rotary Club of Murgon, Gympie’s Graham House Community Centre, the Queensland Dairy and Heritage Museum and Murgon Men’s Shed. Mr O’Brien also presented the Cooroy Pomona RSL Sub-Branch and the Noosa Tewantin RSL Sub-Branch with special commemoratives medallion marking the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, which fell on 15 August this year. “Wide Bay was well-represented among the almost one million Australians who
served in the Second World War, and local people took on significant roles in protecting our country,” Mr O’Brien said. “These medallions are an acknowledgement of this remarkable generation who served during World War 2, and they ensure the people of Wide Bay can show their gratitude to veterans within our region.” The medals are now available to every living Second World War veteran, in acknowledgement of their service. Second World War veterans, or their families on their behalf, can apply online at dva.gov.au/medallion or by phone on 02 6191 8217 during business hours. 12453581-FA28-20

Santa’s classy helpers By Margaret Maccoll Despite the COVID disruptions Lorraine Kenway and her team of Santa’s Classy Helpers have managed to pull off a minor miracle to bring together a virtual shop full of toys, food and toiletries to make Christmas a wonderful time for about 300 Noosa families in need. As they have for the past nine years the owner of Classy Lady Noosa on Gympie Terrace and her group of helpers have fundraised and collected donations to make Christmas special for others. Unfortunately this year the group has not been able to find the funds to provide new clothes for each child as they have in past years but there will be toys as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. Lorraine said during COVID-restrictions they were unable for months to conduct their usual fundraising activities. “People have been very generous,” she said.
“There’s about 300 families we hope to look after. “We’ve had a golf day a big garage sale and a lunch at the Boathouse and we’ve been selling raffle tickets.” Next Monday The J Theatre will be set up with all the goodies for families referred by local charity groups including Salvation Army and St Vincent De Paul who will be invited to shop for free. Lorraine urged families who needed assistance to contact the Salvation Army or St Vincent De Paul. She said only this week she’d been contacted to assist a family with four children who were “totally homeless”. “We don’t want to see people go without,” Lorraine said. She said donations of toiletries or money could be left at the Classy Lady Noosa shop on Gympie Terrace.

Mayor’s Christmas Appeal to help families in need Noosa Council is calling on residents to offer those in need a helping hand this festive season, with the launch of the inaugural Mayor’s Christmas Appeal. “The level of need this year is so much greater due to COVID-19, and many of our charities too have been impacted by the pandemic. If ever there was a time to help, 2020 is it,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “Your donation will help our charities to make sure those in need have food on the table and presents under the tree this Christmas.” The appeal calls for gift cards and other
donations to Salvation Army Noosa, St Vincent de Paul Noosa, Santa’s Classy Helpers and Youturn Youth Support. Lorraine Kenway of Santa’s Classy Helpers said this year had been tougher than most to keep up with the calls for help. “It has been an especially difficult year for everyone and we haven’t been able to raise all of the funds that we need to help all of our beautiful families that are in need this Christmas,” she said. “Through the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal, we are asking the community for their generosity, the old saying it takes a village to raise

Guiding emergency plan “To be aware is the best defence against disaster,“ SES spokesman Peter Harcon said on Monday at the release of Noosa shire’s first Emergency Action Guide. Produced by Noosa Council and the Noosa Disaster Management Group, the 56-page guide has everything you need to know to prepare, respond and recover from disaster events. Noosa Mayor and LDMG Chair Clare Stewart said COVID, cyclones, bushfires and even tsunamis were covered in the guide, available online and in hard copy. “This guide is not to alarm people, but ensure we all know what to do, where to go, and how to prepare and survive a natural disaster, “she said. “But as we’re all too aware, Noosa has been impacted by severe weather events in the past.”
“With so much information released during a disaster event, it’s important the community can receive reputable news that is relevant to our shire,” Cr Stewart said. “This initiative is such an important way for residents to keep updated,” “Don’t wait for a disaster to be on our doorstep, sign up today.“ The guide was a jointly funded by Noosa Council, the Queensland Government’s Get Ready initiative and Category C Bushfire recovery program - a joint Queensland and Australian Government funded program. The guide can be easily downloaded on the Noosa Council website. In any potential disaster, residents are encouraged to keep informed on a variety of hazards and topics via council’s Facebook page and Disaster Dashboard.
Noosa’s Disaster Management Group launch the emergency guide book. “This guide focuses on all types of natural disasters with the safety of you, your family and property the fundamental priority.“ Council has also launched a new feature on its Disaster Dashboard with an opt-in notification system.
Known as Noosa ALERT, it provides subscribers with the latest news including weather warnings, emergency news and road closures via email and/or text message. Cr Stewart said it’s another way to stay informed during times of a disaster.
Floods and some fires forecast for the summer ahead Australia can expect a wetter than normal summer, but bush and grass fires cannot be ruled out completely, according to the Bureau of Meteorology’s Summer Climate Outlook released on Thursday. The outlook for summer has been issued as Australia continues to experience an active La Niña event which is expected to remain until at least the start of autumn. The Bureau’s Head of Operational Climate Services Dr Andrew Watkins said this means large parts of eastern Australia have an increased risk of flooding. “While the last three weeks have been dry in many parts of the country - due in part to unfavourable tropical weather patterns - it
does not signal a weakening of La Niña,” he said. “Our climate outlook is the opposite of what we experienced last year in Australia. This summer, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland are expected to see above average rainfall, meaning we face an increased risk of widespread floods.” Dr Watkins said that while the risk of bushfires isn’t as high as last summer, fires will occur. “There’s a great chance of grass fires in some areas as recent rain and warm weather have led to vigorous vegetation growth. South eastern Australia is one of the most fire-prone regions in the world. Even short
Christmas at
periods of hot and dry weather increase the risk of fire in summer.” Dr Watkins said the outlook was also a reminder for communities to be prepared for heatwaves over the coming months. “Every summer we see heatwaves across southern Australia. This summer heatwaves may not reach the extreme temperatures of recent years, but may be longer duration and more humid, which can still have a significant impact on human health.” “Daytime temperatures in summer are likely to be near average, but there will be periods of high heat combined with milder periods.
“It’s important to keep up to date with the Bureau’s heatwave service.” Dr Watkins said Northern Australia remains on track for an average to slightly above average cyclone season. “On average, Australia sees 9 to 11 tropical cyclones each year, with four crossing the coast. The first cyclone to develop in the Australian region occurs earlier during La Niña years. “People in the north of the country should prepare for tropical cyclones now. And don’t forget tropical lows, which can bring heavy rainfall, flooding and cause significant property damage.”
COMMUNITY INFORMATION SESSIONS Sunrise Beach Residential Aged Care Facility and Retirement Village Wednesday 9 December 2020 You’re invited to a Community Information Session to learn about the Sunrise Beach Residential Aged Care Facility and Retirement Village. One-hour sessions are being conducted using an online webinar format to manage Covid-19 risk. Lendlease has entered into a Development Management Agreement with Blue Care to develop, on its behalf, the retirement village. Upon completion, the village will form part of an integrated retirement and aged care precinct in Sunrise Beach. Lendlease is no longer developing the aged care component and road intersection improvement, this will be carried out by Blue Care. Development of this site for retirement living and residential aged care is also an opportunity for the creation of an inter-generational precinct with links to local schools and the community groups. We wish to understand community opinions and engagement options so that we can work together to provide positive outcomes for the Sunrise Beach community.

Green shoots in the news By Phil Jarratt The term “news desert” was coined by American journalist and academic Penelope Muse Abernathy, chair of the Hussman School of Journalism at the University of North Carolina, to explain the impact on society of an economic phenomenon that has been escalating across the United States since 2004. In 2020 in regional Australia, the news desert phenomenon is on steroids. In late March Australian Community Media (formerly Rural Press) blamed the rising Covid-19 pandemic for its closure of about 160 regional newspapers across Australia, saying that they would resume publication in June. As of the end of November, fewer than 110 are listed on ACM’s website. In late May Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp announced the closure of 112 print newspapers across Australia, including 36 that would close completely and 76 that would remain as online presences only. In Queensland alone, 20 print newspapers disappeared overnight. News Corp did not specify how much local reporting would continue in the digital space, but the evidence locally seems to be not much, with digital news mostly consisting of “clickbait” drawn from all over. At the time, Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance chief Paul Murphy told Guardian Australia: “The closure of so many mastheads represents an immense blow to local communities and, coming off the back of hundreds of previous regional closures during this period, it underlines the seriousness of the crisis facing regional and local journalism.” And yet two prominent Australian journalists turned academics see “green shoots” rising up in the Australian news desert. Professor Peter Greste, chair in Journalism and Communication, and Research Fellow Dr Richard Murray at the University of Queensland, working with Dr Rebecca Ananian-Welsh of the T.C. Beirne School of Law, are investigating “local and regional journalism in times of change”. They began their study tour last week with a series of interviews conducted with Star News Group journalists and editors at newspapers across southern and central Queensland. The Star Group, which not only kept regional newspapers alive through the worst of the lockdowns but also brought newspapers like this one back to life in print and created new titles to fill the void in other areas, has been identified as a leader in the green shoots revival. If the name Peter Greste sounds familiar, it’s because in 2014 and 2015 he spent 400 days in Egyptian jails after he and two Al Jazeera colleagues were falsely convicted of “spreading false news and supporting the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood”. He was sentenced to seven years jail but was deported in early 2015 and subsequently returned to Australia, where he has been fighting for freedom of the press ever since, jokingly describing himself as “Australia’s most famous terrorist”. Both he and Murray had distinguished careers as foreign correspondents in war and disaster zones, but both also had beginnings in regional journalism, and they have happily returned to that field to discover what can be done to combat the spread of news deserts. Says Murray: “Murdoch pulling out of regional newspapers really sent shock waves through people who care about democracy, representation and accountability in our communities. Penelope Muse Abernathy has studied the communities of the “fly-over” states in the US where this news void has been a huge problem, and found a correlation between losing their media and a rise in local corruption. She says that when communities lose their media they lose their sense of identity.” Murray is also concerned about social media attempting to fill the news void, “because news media is mediated, whereas Facebook and Twitter are unmediated, and we’ve seen what can happen there, with everyone sharing their own unfiltered truths without a basis of research or facts”. Murray and Greste hope to find answers to what they regard as one of the major problems facing liberal democracies - the need for democracy and capitalism to coexist. Says Murray: “When it comes to media, it’s an uneasy coexistence, and we are now witnessing the ravages of that. Journalism is not like other 14 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 December, 2020

Landline is great and we should make news out of our primary producers, but to say that is all you need from regional journalism is wrong. They have a handful of great regional reporters but they can’t possibly provide adequate coverage of the huge territories they are given.”
The green shoots that the UQ team is finding in regional Queensland are at community newspapers. Murray says: “Papers like Noosa Today are a mirror for the community, but the reality in many areas is that the providers of the content that creates that mirror are overworked and underpaid. We want to examine the economic modelling and see what can be done to change that, but we also want to look

Tourists welcomed back Sunshine Coast Airport has welcomed the arrival of the first plane from Melbourne carrying tourists in more than eight months, as the Queensland border reopened to Victoria and greater Sydney on Tuesday. Jetstar flight JQ792 from Melbourne touched down at SCA at 8:20am with Airservices Australia’s Aviation Fire Fighting Service honouring the aircraft with a ceremonial water cannon salute upon landing. Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie said the arrival was monumental, and provided tears of joy and relief as families and friends were reunited after eight long months. “Today is what airports are all about - connecting passengers to the people, places and experiences they love,” Mr Brodie said. “There were heartwarming scenes as grandparents saw grandkids after many long months, friends embraced and Victorians arrived for a well earned break after many months of lock down. “It is also fantastic to welcome greater Sydney back to the Sunshine Coast, and to see unrestricted movement across the eastern states in time for the Christmas holiday period.” Mr Brodie said the increase in Sydney and Melbourne flights across all three carriers would ensure Christmas was a little brighter for the Sunshine Coast tourism industry. “With Sydney and Melbourne making up around 90 percent of our passenger numbers, the return of these services will provide a welcome boost for many businesses that rely on the airport - like car hire companies, accommodation providers and tourism operators,” he said. Visit Sunshine Coast Industry and Membership Development Manager Andrew Fairbairn said it was fantastic to once again welcome travellers from Greater Sydney and Victoria to the Sunshine Coast. “With the festive season about to start the timing of the border reopening is perfect for
Teams from Visit Sunshine Coast and Tourism Noosa ready to welcome passengers from Melbourne. both our tourism businesses and visitors to enjoy the summer holidays with family and friends,” Mr Fairbairn said. “Prior to COVID-19, the Sunshine Coast attracted 526,000 visitors from New South Wales including 263,000 visitors from Sydney alone and 415,000 visitors from Victoria. “These key interstate markets are incredibly important as they often visit mid-week, stay longer and spend more; and beyond the Christmas period, this will be crucial for boost-
ing bookings during those off-peak times. “This is a major step towards recovery for our region and we are starting to see confidence return to our tourism operators after what has been a challenging year.” Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said Victoria and New South Wales were Noosa’s two largest source markets for interstate visitation, with Noosa receiving record nights and spend pre-COVID. “Needless to say, Tourism Noosa and local
businesses are thrilled to welcome our southern State friends back,” Ms Anderson said. “The flight announcements couldn’t have come at a better time, and we are open and ready to provide our visitors with a wonderful holiday season, celebrating with family and friends”. “NSW and Victoria visitation will remain vital post-holiday season, as generally these markets spend more and stay longer which is imperative to sustain tourism in Noosa.”

Securing their future DNA and GIS research led by USC Australia has identified two unique and genetically distinct koala populations in the Noosa Shire, which could be one key to securing their future. The groundbreaking research led by Dr Celine Frere and the USC Detection Dogs for Conservation team used state-of-the-art modelling to determine genetic connectivity between koalas living in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve. Researchers used geographic information system (GIS) analysis and genetic data from koala scat (poo) samples to determine whether existing habitat corridors are actually connecting koalas. Overall, vegetation and koala genetic connectivity was high across the Noosa Shire. However, researchers found that Noosa Heads koalas are impeded in their connectivity to koalas in other parts of the region by lack of appropriate vegetation connectivity. This has resulted in two unique and genetically distinct koala populations in the Noosa Biosphere. One koala population was identified in the peri-urban area of Noosa Heads and Tewantin; the other among three clusters across the Yural and Ringtail Forest Reserves, Woondum National Park, and West Cooroy and Tuchekoi. To help secure the long-term survival of wild koalas in the Noosa region, Dr Celine Frere says we first need to understand landscape and population connectivity. “We have now gained a much clearer understanding of the fine-scale distribution of koalas throughout the Noosa Shire and, importantly, how they are connected both
through the landscape and genetically. This information was critical to development of targeted management actions,” Dr Frere said. Frere’s report identifies priority locations where vegetation and habitat connectivity should be improved to support mixing of koala populations. This latest research builds on previous work co-funded by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) and WWF Australia, using specially trained koala scat detection dogs to map koalas across the Noosa region. NBRF chair Rex Halverson said Dr Frere’s research was crucial to informing more effective actions that can be taken to protect and restore wild koala populations in the Noosa Biosphere. “We now have a deeper understanding of our local koalas and their movements and this new knowledge will help develop solutions that will make a difference,” he said. A lack of habitat connectivity is one of the major issues affecting the future survival of koalas in the Noosa region - exacerbating common threats such as car strikes, dog attacks, disease and low genetic diversity caused by inbreeding. Across South East Queensland, koalas have suffered population declines of up to 80 percent and are now considered vulnerable to extinction without proactive measures being undertaken. The research project was a collaboration between USC Australia, Noosa Parks Association, WWF Australia and the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation. More information is available at www.noosabiosphere.org.au.

Santa arrives in town By Margaret Maccoll Eumundi kicked off Christmas celebrations in the region with a community Christmas Carols evening last Sunday and a whirlwind visit from Santa. For the price of a gold coin donation to the SES thousands of locals were drawn to the Eumundi Showgrounds to hear the renditions of carols from a variety of performers. About 6pm the excitement mounted as Santa arrived in a red car before making his way to the stage to join in a few bars of “Santa Claus is coming to town“ before making his exit back “to the North Pole“. Children chased his car in and out of the Showgrounds eager to meet Santa who was sadly off limits due to Covid-restrictions.

$20k raised at auction Organisers of last Saturday night’s silent art and artisans auction for the Save Yaroomba campaign are over the moon with the community response. Over $20,000 was raised towards the Supreme Court appeal in March next year. The event was a sellout and involved 58 contributing artists, 21 singers and musicians and an army of more than 30 volunteers that helped plan, organise, set up and implement the event at the North Shore Community Centre in Mudjimba. A total of $100,000 is the target to help cover the legal costs to prepare and present the appeal against the Planning Court Judge’s decision to permit the construction of a highdensity cluster of buildings up to seven storeys beside Yaroomba beach by Sekisui House. Organisers said their fundraising is three quarters of the way there.

Save Yaroomba spokesperson Kathryn Hyman praised the volunteers who worked behind the scenes to bring such a glamorous event to life. “We want people to realise that this project is not just a resort but an urban development that will have a huge impact on the traffic, parking and serenity of the entire Coolum area,” she said. “The old Hyatt Coolum land has the same zoning as the land beside Yaroomba beach. If we lose this Appeal then you will see sevenstorey buildings on that beautiful land as well. The repercussions will transform the area forever and the laid-back lifestyle we see today will be consigned to memory. ”This community has deep pockets and big hearts. Home is where the heart is, and residents will continue to fight to defend their home and their liveability.”

Police dog laid to rest A retired Police Dog who helped capture offenders and even tracked down the odd missing person on the Sunshine Coast has passed away. Police Dog Ajax was a valuable member of the Sunshine Coast Dog Squad, beginning his service in the unit in September 2012. He was medically retired in 2018 and spent his remaining time with his handler and Officer-in-Charge, Sergeant Craig Law. He tragically died at 10-years-old after a recent visit to the vet identified a cancerous tumour. Throughout his six years of service, PD Ajax proved he had a bark like no other and many fleeing offenders across the Sunshine Coast District experienced his tenacity and commitment to helping keep the community safe. He was responsible for the detection and capture of numerous offenders, including those wanted for armed robbery, the unlawful use of motor vehicles and breaking and entering.PD Ajax leaves behind a loving family, who affectionately knew him as Captain Fluffy Bum. Sergeant Law remembered PD Ajax as a loyal partner but, more importantly, as family. “Handlers and their dogs develop bonds during their working lives that cannot be matched,” Sergeant Law said. “While Ajax tracked down offenders with enthusiasm, at home he was a fierce protector of my family and quickly became one of us. “There is no doubt that while he liked being a Police Dog, he found getting spoilt at home was just as much fun as tracking an offender. “His passing was very unexpected and his absence has left a huge void for our family, in particular for his favourite ‘handler’, my wife Abby,” Sergeant Law said.

Residents attend a Flight Path Forum meeting to discuss ASA flight path community consultation terms. engagement in its attempts to rebuild its trust deficit.” In the meantime, as the borders re-open, residents throughout the northern Sunshine Coast are experiencing an increase in flights and aviation noise. This is an ominous reminder that the full impacts of the flight paths associated with the new SCA runway have not yet been felt due to Covid-19 restrictions, Ms Griffin said. “Flight Path Forum have been working hard to raise funds for a flight path review by a CASA accredited consultant with a raffle closing on 5 December,” Ms Griffin said. “We urge concerned residents to support our efforts by buying tickets.” Fight path review raffle tickets are available online at https://flightpathforum.org. au/raffle.html. Community members with an interest in the Post Implementation Review of the flight paths, can register for the WebEX meeting through Airservices Australia Engage page at https://engage.airservicesaustralia.com/sunshine-coast-airport-airspace-changes-runway-1331.

Airservices Australia (ASA) received an astonishing 467 submissions, including a 59 page submission from Flight Path Forum, during the public comment period on the second draft Terms of Reference for community consultation on the Sunshine Coast Airport flight paths which closed on 4 November. This level of public response clearly demonstrates the extent of community concern on the newly implemented flight paths, Flight Path Forum spokeswoman Vivien Griffin said. Just three weeks later, on 26 November, ASA announced it had “considered and applied“ the feedback provided in those 467 submissions to an updated Terms of Reference. ASA have advised it will host an online (WebEX) meeting on Tuesday 8 December to its consideration and response to feedback prior to releasing the third draft Terms of Reference for final public comment. Ms Griffin said Flight Path Forum would have preferred ASA provide each submitter with feedback on the issues they raised and run a community meeting to properly discuss updates to the Terms of Reference. “It is of concern that ASA have chosen WebEX as an engagement mechanism given the high level of community interest,“ she said. “It will make it hard for any community member to have their voice heard. The meeting sounds more like ASA is going to talk to us not with us.“We are also concerned that Airservices are rushing the next round of public consultation in the run up to Christmas, which will overload the community and reduce the quantity and quality of further feedback. “It is hoped the community is given until February, to make comment. ASA is missing an opportunity for meaningful community

Tourism recovery needed Three Sunshine Coast tourism businesses are investing in fresh attractions with the assistance of the State Government’s $25 million Growing Tourism Infrastructure Fund. Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said Aussie World, Bellingham Maze and Tree Top Adventure Park would share in $1.84 million. “We know tourism is critical to the Sunshine Coast’s economic recovery plan,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “That’s why the Palaszczuk Government is working closely with tourism businesses to help the industry come back from COVID-19
stronger than ever. “The three fresh attractions for the Sunshine Coast are worth a combined $4.5 million and are expected to deliver almost 50 jobs during construction and operation.” Aussie World will harness the thrill of speed with a new rollercoaster ride to complement the recently installed Swing Ride. Bellingham Maze is combining its a’maze’ing outdoor maze with an immersive, virtual reality maze experience. And, work is underway on a Junior adven-
ture challenge for 3 to 9-year-olds at the Tree Top Adventure Park. Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton said the Junior Tree Top Adventure would be the biggest of its kind in Australia. “As the Big Pineapple has demonstrated over the years, the Sunshine Coast isn’t half hearted when it comes to the scale of its tourist attractions,” Mr Skelton said. “These projects - funded in partnership with the Palaszczuk Government’s Growing Tourism Infrastructure Fund - continue the
Coast’s tradition of creating destination tourism infrastructure.” Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt said the fresh attractions would bring more visitors to the Sunshine Coast. “Once built, almost 70,000 extra visitors every year are predicted to make their way to the Sunshine Coast for a unique tourism experience,” Mr Hunt said. “Additional visitors to these new attractions alone are estimated to boost the Sunshine Coast’s economy by nearly $4 million every year.“
Australia’s biggest Bakslap challenge launches Last year more than 1000 people packed Mooloolaba Beach for the inaugural Australia’s Biggest Bakslap event to get as many people together applying sunscreen as possible. While Covid-19 has put a dampener on our ability to come together, it has not changed the impact of the sun’s harmful rays and the importance of sun protection that this fun, safety awareness event started last in Mooloolaba. To keep the message of sun awareness going this year founder and creator of Bakslap, Raphael McGowan took the massive sunscreen application event from our beaches to our screens with an interactive game allowing people of all ages to apply sunscreen and sun safety items to avatars. “Anyone, anywhere on their phone or PC can show they are sun safe this year and helping to spread the important message of keeping protected outdoors, especially this Summer,” Mr McGowan said. “Our aim is to have as many young people as possible participating in the simultaneous
sunscreen application game because they are in a high-risk category for melanoma. “COVID restrictions meant we were not able to build on last year’s huge success with thousands of people across different locations bak’slappin on some sunscreen and making a powerful visual statement in their region, but we’re excited to see how people interact with this virtual environment. “The sun safety message, creating awareness around it and the sun’s potential dangers requires constant innovation, so this year we’re having a crack at a new approach.” After this Summer sun smart campaign, Mr McGowan plans to work with the Department of Education in Queensland and other states and work with staff and students to create a new, fun, interactive, phone-based tech game about sun safety for kids. “It’s the ideal age to arm the next generation with the best way to have fun in the sun but enjoy it responsibly,” he said.
Raphael McGowan shows his brother Pud McGowan and mate Fletch how the game works this year for Australia’s Biggest Bakslap sunscreen challenge.

Major tourism blitz launched as borders open The State Government has launched a major tourism campaign in Queensland’s largest domestic tourism markets as the state’s border reopens to NSW and Victoria this week. The campaign comes as new data reveals the government’s successful ‘Good to Go’ campaign has already driven 11 million visitor nights and pumped $1.5 billion into Queensland’s economy. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said an upcoming campaign blitz would reach 8.3 million people in New South Wales and Victoria. “Queensland is Good to Go,” the Premier said.
“Tourism is vital when it comes to rebuilding our economy and supporting jobs. “We’re saying to tourists in NSW and Victoria - we want you. “Coronavirus has had a huge impact on our tourism industry. “We understand that more tourists means more jobs. This marketing blitz will safeguard jobs and help thousands of tourism businesses right throughout the state to make the most of the important summer holiday period. “It’s only thanks to the way Queenslanders managed this health crisis that we’re now in a strong position - and able to welcome back
tourists for Christmas. “There’s nothing better than Christmas holidays in the Sunshine State. If you’re living in NSW and Victoria and you’re looking for a holiday, we’re urging you to come to Queensland where life is beautiful one day and perfect the next.” Treasurer Cameron Dick said the campaign was part of more than half-a-billion dollars the government has invested in tourism recovery since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. “This is a great step towards our recovery,” he said. Tourism Industry Development Minister
Stirling Hinchliffe said the campaign would inspire interstate visitors to stay longer and spend more in Queensland. “This campaign will showcase the breadth of experiences on offer in Queensland to encourage a longer stay - in place of an international holiday,” he said. “Queensland is one of the world’s favourite holiday destinations and we know interstate visitors have been dreaming of a Queensland holiday most of the year. “This campaign aims to convert that desire into bookings over the whole summer period, with a second burst in early 2021 to support bookings later into the new year.”

Sharks getting the blame A USC study will determine if sharks are wrongly getting a bad rap for taking a bite out of Australia’s commercial spanner crab industry. A renowned delicacy, the vibrant red crustaceans are exported live all over the world after being commercially caught in waters stretching from Queensland’s Gladstone region to the New South Wales border. USC marine biologist and shark specialist Dr Bonnie Holmes said fishers retrieving crabs from nets were finding crabs with missing limbs - or sometimes with only the claws remaining - and were blaming sharks for stealing their catch. “The study is one of the first in Australia to investigate the extent of this depredation and establish exactly who is preying on spanner crabs once they are on nets ready to be brought to the surface by commercial fishers,” Dr Holmes said.
A tiger shark preying on crabs in nets. Australia is the world’s largest spanner crab fishery with 80 percent of the total catch coming from Queensland’s South East and Wide Bay regions. “It is important to understand what issues may be negatively impacting the sustainability of the fishery, part of a multi-million-dollar industry worth between $3.5-$6.8 million per
annum,” Dr Holmes said. Dr Holmes is the lead supervisor of the study by USC Fraser Coast Animal Ecology Honours student Jackson Milburn from Hervey Bay, who is collecting data from commercial fishing vessels in waters off Bundaberg, Sunshine Coast, Tin Can Bay and Fraser Coast. “To find out exactly what is going on below the water, I am attaching cameras to the commercial fishing nets, as well as collecting environmental condition data,” Jackson said. “These open-style flat mesh dilly nets are highly effective at catching the crabs while simultaneously eliminating most bycatch, but they do leave them vulnerable to passing predators,” he said. “The cameras will allow us to identify what species are eating these crabs and if the rates of this depredation can be predicted by monitoring different locations, different seasons
and other environmental factors such as currents, wind conditions and water chemistry.” He said the data would help to fill a gap in knowledge of Australia’s spanner crab fishery and assist with the management and sustainability of the industry. “We do know that sharks aren’t the only predators - overseas studies have found that rays, squid, moray eels, large fish and sea birds also prey on them,” Jackson said. “A recent study conducted in Hawaii found sharks were, in fact, more interested in the bait used to catch the crabs than the crabs themselves, often leaving them intact.” After completing a degree in Animal Ecology at USC Fraser Coast last year, Jackson said he jumped at the chance to continue working with world-class lecturers, Dr Holmes and Dr Kathy Townsend, a renowned marine biologist.
Get Ready Queensland schools winner announced A Sunshine Coast school impacted by last year’s bushfires has won a visit from Get Ready Queensland Ambassador and rugby league legend Johnathan Thurston to discuss their disaster preparedness activities. Deputy Premier and Minister responsible for the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) Mr Steven Miles said that Peregian Springs State School had won the lucky draw in the first Get Ready Queensland schools competition. “The schools competition is a great initiative by the Get Ready Queensland program aimed at encouraging meaningful conversations about preparing for severe weather before disasters strike,” Mr Miles said.
“The response from schools across the state surpassed expectations with more than 1500 students getting involved in the competition, including entries from as far as Cooktown State School in the north and Richmond State School in the west. “Almost 100 classes from schools across Queensland participated in the competition, learning about a range of preparedness activities including packing a Grab’n’Go bag, preparing a household emergency plan and what goes into a Pet Emergency Kit. “I’d like to thank all the schools and students involved in this fantastic exercise for sending in their colourful entries and photos, and a special congratulations to Peregian
Springs State School,” he said. Get Ready Queensland Ambassador Johnathan Thurston said he was looking forward to visiting Peregian Springs State School, seeing the students’ completed activities and finding out what they had learned during the competition. “I’m really passionate about disaster preparation and I can’t wait to find out how the students are getting ready,” Mr Thurston said. “We know disasters can develop quickly and often people don’t have much time before they need to act. “The Peregian Springs students and their families experienced first-hand last year the
impact natural disasters can have when their school was closed due to the threat of fastmoving bushfires. “If these students have been able to learn something from this competition, and share that knowledge with their families, then we will all be better off next time a disaster strikes. “I’ve spoken to students from all over Queensland and while the disasters they face may be different, the importance of being prepared is the same. “The Get Ready Queensland program encourages all Queenslanders to take steps now to protect their loved ones in the case of an emergency,” he said.

First turtle nest at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast.
First turtle nest found More than 200 dedicated community volunteers across the Sunshine Coast are jumping for joy at the arrival of the first turtles. This follows the discovery of three nests and one extra set of turtle tracks on the coast’s beaches in recent days. Sunshine Coast Council’s TurtleCare Conservation Officer Simone Bosshard said the TurtleCare volunteers were very excited the season had officially begun. “Yesterday morning (Tuesday 24 November), the first nest at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast was discovered by Turtle Care volunteers as they undertook their morning patrol,” Ms Bosshard said. “They’ve recorded the nest location and will keep an eye on it as the season progresses. “We can expect turtle tracks every few nights now, so keep your eyes open if you’re on the beach in the morning.” On Saturday morning (21 November) Coolum and North Shore Coast Care volunteers discovered a green turtle nest and on Sunday (22 November) morning discovered a critically endangered loggerhead turtle nest at
the northern part of the Coast. Leigh Warneminde from Coolum and North Shore Coast Care said it was an early morning walker who alerted them to the first nest north of the Maroochy River. “Coolum and North Shore Coast Care turtle volunteers were thrilled to get an early morning call from a long-term beach walker on Saturday morning,” Ms Warneminde said. “A green turtle had marched up the beach, laid her eggs and then took a very circuitous route to the Maroochy River towards the lights of Cotton Tree and Maroochydore. “Sunday morning did not disappoint our volunteers either with our first Loggerhead of the season at a different northern beach. “This girl went up and back on the same track due to the darkness at this beach and was not sent off track from artificial light sources. “Coast Care volunteers are thrilled about the start of the turtle nesting season and are very thankful to the beach walkers who call us when they find turtle tracks. We could not manage without their help.”
On Friday (20 November), TurtleCare volunteers at Bribie Island also came across a green turtle track, but the tracks indicated that it was an unsuccessful nesting attempt (also known as a turnaround). Sunshine Coast Council’s TurtleCare Conservation Officer Simone Bosshard said the first track of the season was most likely from a green turtle. “With an injured or missing right back flipper, her tracks look different, but I’m fairly confident it was a green turtle - green turtles only account for about three percent of all nests on the Sunshine Coast,” Ms Bosshard said. “The female turtle aborted her nesting process for an unknown reason. It could have been disturbance, or inability to find a suitable nest site, and returned to the ocean. “Her missing or stumpy back flipper may make it difficult for her to build a proper egg chamber. “However, there are many “stumpy” turtles that have no issues with nesting, so we’ll just have to wait and see how she goes.
“She will likely try again on following nights on the same beach, or a beach close by.” Ms Bosshard highlighted the importance of residents switching off any unnecessary external lighting at night. “Turtle nesting season is a time when the whole community can come together to celebrate and help protect these threatened species - keep plastic waste out of waterways and beaches, and cut the glow of lights after 8pm.” To report turtle tracks, new nests and emerging hatchlings call either Sunshine Coast Council’s Turtle Care hotline or Coolum and North Shore Coast Care. For sightings on the southern end of the coast call 0437 559 067 and for sightings from Mooloolaba north call Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0403 370 157. Residents are encouraged to switch off their outside lights from 8pm as light pollution is distracting for turtles and hatchlings. Turnarounds are unsuccessful nesting attempts and are not uncommon along our coastline.

GOODFELLAS 7TWO, 8.30pm
Positively bursting at the seams with invention and energy few filmmakers could muster, Martin Scorsese’s tour de force gangster epic chronicles the fast times of low-level gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta, pictured). Hill’s rocky romance with New York’s criminal underworld is shared by the firebrand Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) and the shadowy Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro). Scorsese grew up in Little Italy, and he knows every beat and tick of the trade – his depiction is vivid and truthful.

FAMILY FEUD WIN, 4pm
This long-running game show has had multiple hosts and multiple lives in its history and returns to our screens tonight after a hiatus in September. With the infectiously energetic host Grant Denyer (pictured) in the driver’s seat, it pits two families against each other for glory and cash prizes. With only five episodes to go, Family Feud continues to celebrate our frontliners: nurses, teachers, firies and farmers with a staggering $100,000 up for grabs. Tonight, the Unanderra firies, who have been battling fires that threaten their tight-knit community, take on the Martin family, who have for generations been working for the Salvation Army.

THE FEED SBS, 10pm
Sometimes the sheer constancy and mass of news outlets sharing stories can be deafening. How to cut through it all? When switching off completely means we can’t really claim to be informed citizens, it’s best to choose your news sources wisely. The Feed is solid journalism. But it is also refreshing and often-times hilarious, with hosts Marc Fennell, Alice Matthews (pictured) and Alex Lee committed to presenting issues-based reporting delivered from a younger perspective. In tonight’s edition, despite the plethora of dating apps on the market, the team explores why many Indian Australian millennials are opting for arranged marriages through oldfashioned matchmakers instead.
If you are a semi-reluctant TV viewer who feels the need to justify hours spent in front of the box, then period dramas – especially those based on real royal families – are ideal. They are essentially a stylish and engaging history lesson, no? In its third season, we’ve seen Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman, pictured)) navigate ruling a kingdom while navigating messy international politics and the birth of her sixth child. Who says she can’t have it all? In tonight’s season finale, the world is watching as the Great Exhibition in London’s Hyde Park is opened to the public. The anticipation and pressure cause strain on Albert’s (Tom Hughes) health. Jenna Coleman stars in Victoria.

Remembering the battle By Phil Jarratt This month marks the 30th anniversary of the closure of the Noosa Woods campground and caravan park, an event that seems like a nobrainer today but divided the community back then. Few of us who enjoy the tracks, trails and picnic areas of the Woods and Spit for exercise, relaxation and family fun can imagine this natural wonderland at the end of Hastings Street any other way, but after a decade in which it nearly became a Club Med and a monstrous car park, the decision of the recently-elected Playford council to move the campers on and restore the Woods as a nature reserve for all was seen by many as an attack on the rights of the common man. Along with other assaults on Aussie beach culture, like new restaurants with fancy names and prices to match, it was seen as part of a conspiracy to get rid of the average joes and hand Noosa Heads over to the rich and fa-
mous. Noel Playford rejected that idea at the time and he continues to reject it today. He told Noosa Today: “The environment had to be looked after because it was our competitive advantage, and as a community we had to learn that the environment and the economy were inextricably intertwined. To their credit, the business community came around to what we were doing and admitted they’d been wrong, and that they were doing better now because of what we’d put in place.” But part of what was put in place infuriated some residents so much they marched down Hastings Street to loudly protest what they saw as an elitist takeover. Noel Playford saw it as exactly the opposite of that, and the battle went on for a couple of years. The battleground was the Noosa Woods campground. The late author and artist Emma Freeman, who arrived in Noosa in 1950, saw the Noosa Woods as an almost magical place, “a lush rainforest of many species of native trees and
thick, twining vines”. But in 1962 Noosa Council cleared much of it away to make way for campsites. In her lovely Noosa memoir, Hastings Street - Stories from Noosa’s Past, Emma wrote: “Many magnificent trees and undergrowth were loaded onto trucks and taken to the refuse dump ... During the sixties almost every space in the Woods camping area was filled with hippie shelters side by side ... locals were intrigued by the strangely sweet smoky odour emanating from the area. Girls in gipsy dresses sand Bob Dylan and Beatles songs as the men played guitars and lounged on cushions ... Love became their password. But primitive living and matted, long hair on some of the hippies and their children resulted in an epidemic of head and body lice.” People had camped without amenities in parts of the Woods for decades before this, but thus began the mythology of the camping area. Historian and author Stuart Scott, who grew up in Noosa around the time, has established a Facebook page called “Noosa Woods
Nostalgia”, where people gather to recall with pleasure those lazy, crazy halcyon days. He says: “I lived at the Woods end of Hastings Street with my parents from 1956 to ‘68, and look back at the old camping ground through very thick rose-coloured glasses. Perhaps it had become a shanty town by the 1980s - I wasn’t paying much attention by then - but it was magic in my era. In the ’60s there were very few ‘permanents’: some old boaties with waterfront spots, a handful of surfers. The Woods seemed so much bigger than I now realise it was - all those trees and all that space for kids to run around, with the perfect lagoon at the far end. It was largely empty for much of the year but every holiday it would fill with families putting up their tents (seemed that only rich Victorians had caravans) on the same spot. Year after year the Ipswich Railway Workshops families staked their claim to a large patch of the southern side, and I doubt anyone was ever foolish enough to intrude.
When it’s time to say goodbye, remember them forever...with a Memorial Plaque on our wall and have their ashes scattered at sea.

Postcard aerial view shows the space cleared for the campground long before the spit was extended. Picture: SUPPLIED “It was a village, a playground, and also a goldmine. When all those campers went home they would leave behind empty soft drink bottles, neatly stacked at the base of trees, for the local kids -- there were only a handful of us -- to take to Noosa Store and claim the deposit. Metho, kero and turps bottles earned even more. We learned the value of recycling, and I made enough to buy row boats and surfboards.” Scott started his Facebook page in the hope that others would want to share their memories and photos of the Woods. While the feedback has been but a “trickle”, people are still passionate about the place. Grant Cowell posted: “Lived in the Woods for 5 years, Dad, Mum, me with brother, sister plus a dog and cat. 1969 to ‘74 in a 16ft Chesney and Annexe. We still agree it was the best time of our lives. If we weren’t swimming and surfing before and after school we would be fishing or rowing old timber boats through the mangrove canals and up to Stingray Corner.” Judith Horn remembered “camping in the woods each year with my family from the mid1940s. Each morning mum would ask what we wanted for breakfast and we would always answer fish. We were then sent with our hand line to catch our own breakfast which would only take a few minutes. Wonderful memories.” Noel Playford believed that having the Woods as a recreational amenity for all was key to the axis of environment and economics in Noosa Heads, and that meant the campground had to go. He says: “When I was a kid, we’d go the Woods as a family and sure, there were a few people camped there most of the time, but by 1988 there was a barbed wire fence around the whole thing and inside it were all these caravans that Brisbane people left there as weekenders. It was a council-owned recreation and camping reserve but it was a disgrace, and we couldn’t get the people out. One woman had a Hills Hoist next to her caravan, right on the beach, with the best view in Australia. We had to go to court to get her out!” The Woods was cleaned up and new vegetation planted in time for the Christmas holiday season. Says Playford: “We had a community tree planting after the new road went in, and a lot of people came to be a part of it. A group of young foreign backpackers came along and asked what we were doing. When I told them we were creating a nature reserve for everyone to enjoy, they thought it was such a great idea that they got in and helped us. To me that vindicated completely our decision to remove the campground.” Another side of the story emerged many years later on Stuart Scott’s Woods Facebook page when former caretaker Stan Seymour posted: “My wife and I ran The Woods from 1980 to ‘85 (roughly). Had a great time, except for a council which was determined to close it and turn it into a car park for the hotels and motels in Hastings Street. Some of the old councillors from back then should be horsewhipped for their attitude to campers and camping parks.” Ian Christesen replied: “Horsewhip me for allowing a revegetated green space to be created and built on the littoral rainforest that

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart
Christmas is on its way By Mayor Clare Stewart It’s hard to believe that Christmas is almost here. We’ve all had a tough year and with the mantra #weareallinthistogether never more pertinent, Noosa Council is bringing some Christmas cheer to your doorstep. We’ve launched the ‘Connecting Noosa Christmas Convoy’ in an effort to spread some Christmas cheer through the community. The convoy will also help to recognise the efforts of our emergency services during Covid and the bushfires last year who will feature in the convoy along with of course, Santa. The convoy starts in Boreen Point and Cooroibah on Monday night 7 December 2020 and moves to Kin Kin, Pomona and Cooroy on Tuesday. It then travels through parts of Tewantin on Wednesday 9 December 2020 followed by the beachside suburbs of Peregian Castaways and Sunrise Beach on Thursday afternoon 10 December 2020. As many of our regular community events can’t go ahead due to the pandemic restrictions, this will ensure everyone gets to enjoy the Christmas Spirit with neighbours and family. Speaking of Christmas, I am delighted to launch our first ever Mayor’s Christmas Appeal. The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is a way to lend a helping hand to not-for-profits and local charities. Our local charities do a tremendous job but after such a challenging year, any support is greatly appreciated. The appeal is calling for donations of gift cards or gift vouchers to local attractions. I’m kicking off the appeal with $500 worth of gift cards and I’d be
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart so pleased if you would join me in supporting this appeal in any way that you can- however big or small. The appeal is supporting the great works of the Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul
Noosa, You Turn Youth Support and Santa’s Classy Helpers. See Council’s website to find out what our charities need most and how you can help- www.noosa.qld.gov.au
Well despite a tough year for all, we all put one foot in front of the other and marched on. Council’s annual report is now live on our website. It an interesting snapshot of the past year. Despite Covid-19 restrictions, staff answered more than 88,000 enquiries, we emptied more than 1.5million bins, libraries loaned more than 349,000 books and other items, finding new ways to serve our community even with doors having to be closed. Other highlights and one which I am incredibly proud of is that fact that we’ve almost doubled our budget on fire trail building and maintenance in Council bush reserves and we have increased our budget by 71% for controlled burns on Council land. We’ve distributed over $1.3 million in grants to the community an environmental groups plus art and other projects during the 19/20 year. Our Peregian Digital Hub continues to do great things in the digital space and this month hosted the Firetech 2020 Local Government Summit which was hosted virtually and attracted more than 200 delegates from around Australia and the world- including 21 local councils. All in all, it’s be a big year but as the Christmas season is well and truly upon us, we have much to celebrate, reflect on and be thankful for. We hope to see as many of you as possible over the coming weeks on our Christmas Convoy and on behalf of all Councillors and Council staff I wish you and your loved ones a peaceful, joyful, safe and merry Christmas. Stay safe and take care, Clare

Installing residential solar energy Solar power is now the cheapest electricity available so installing a solar system is a costeffective way to reduce electricity bills. Feed-in tariffs also allow you to sell excess energy back to the grid. The average household can expect an investment return in two to five years. First thing to do is take a good look at your electricity bill. How much are you using and how much is it costing you? As a rule of thumb, using 20kWh of electricity per day would equal a 5kW solar photovoltaic system. Next step is to choose an accredited, trusted solar installer who guarantees their work. They will model your estimated annual electricity generation and expected savings. Ensure that your installer quotes on Tier 1 solar panels with a proven inverter. The inverter converts the direct current (DC) energy generated by the panels into 240V alternating current (AC) electricity to power your home. The size and number of panels you install will depend on your daily usage and roof space. Solar panels should ideally face north, but can be placed east and west to catch morning and afternoon sun, and angled if needed to maximize solar capture. Final steps are to upgrade your energy meter and choose a retail electrical provider that delivers you the best deal. Then each time you flick a switch, enjoy using your cheap and planet-friendly electricity powered by the sun. To find out more about solar power check out ZEN Inc.’s Solar Checklist to help you take the right steps to installing solar in your home at https://www.zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au Noosa Council has a free solar and energy advice program partnership with Australian Energy Foundation (AEF).

Mat Colefax’s residential solar success
The Colefax installation.
In early 2020 the Colefax family installed a 6.6kW solar system on their home and Mat Colefax couldn’t be happier. “Our system is right on track to generate the estimated 11,000+ kwh of electricity this year,” he says. “And due to my careful selection of a local installer and quality equipment, the system is actually saving us more than forecast, potentially delivering around 40 percent more savings!” Key selection factors for Mat were the brand quality and value of the panels, the inverter, and the solar system installer, along with guarantees. “Our system was a financed one, with zero upfront deposit and quarterly payments of $387. So instead of looking at payback time, the key question for us was how much do we start saving from the second the solar system switches on, and how secure are those savings,” says Mat. The Colefaxs are a family of five and their house has a pool. Pre-solar, their previous annual electricity bill was around $2580. Since installation, their quarterly electricity bills are now zero, with first and third quarter input credits from solar generation around $100$200. Credit from the winter quarter was only $7, due to higher energy use from heating the house. The Colefax’s 6.6kW Solar Package consists of LG panels with 25-year warranty, SMA SunnyBoy 5.0 Inverter with 10-year full onsite warranty including monitor, installed by a local company with a 10-year installation guarantee. The system is 6.6kw single phase battery compatible. As well as delivering direct dollar savings, the Colefax’s 6.6kW Solar Package is good for the planet.

Climate Hype It is obvious the climate is changing and the future is transitioning to renewable energy. However it is absolutely pie in the sky to believe the escalating average annual temperatures in Australia are going to drop if the Gov’t adopts a zero emission policy. Reversing the trend is not going to happen in the next 10 to 20 years at this stage of the process. Now is the time for scientists to be developing and introducing practical technology for the wider populus to live sustainably in a hotter climate until the collective efforts involving all countries finally pays off. Those working on ways to send teams to Mars for extended periods should refocus their efforts towards surviving on this planet for the rest of this century. Woody Dass Noosaville
Better Times Ahead I had just sat down to watch the horse racing on the Saturday afternoon that was the start of Schoolies Week and a knock at the door turned out to be 3 young girls dressed ready for a dip in the pool next door. It’s recently become a Airbnb. (I think that’s the term.) Anyway they were very polite and asked if the music they were playing was too loud and if so let them know and they would turn it down. I assured them although in my eighties I still enjoy all types of music and to go ahead and enjoy their last bit of freedom before the grind of a 9 to 5 day a week necessity becomes a ritual and they will perhaps only get 1to 2 weeks relief from it once a year. Anyway times have changed and my memories returned to the music that was all the rage when I left school. A smooch to Love Letters In The Sand by Pat Boone. We did go overboard a bit when Bill Hayley came on the scene. We also learnt dancing didn’t require a partner after a few Babychams. Over the weekend the parties next door were well behaved, but I have found out that todays music must have a loud drum as the main instrument. In fact I can’t recall hearing any words being sung. I sincerly hope that 2021 and those following turn out better than the one they have just had to try to get an education through with its ups and downs. Ours in the UK were the sirens the bombings and sleepless nights. Ernest Wright, Sunrise Beach
Schoolies So, our beautiful Main Beach was trashed on Saturday night with rubbish and broken glass to the extent that the beach had to be closed for clean-up and the Little Nippers’ normal Sunday morning get together (local little kids doing healthy activities) had to be cancelled. So interesting that this is the generation many of whom blame older generations for ruining the world. If it wasn’t so hypocritical it would be amusing. What would Greta say? C Hobart Noosa Heads
Help Protect The Birds I read with dismay the article written by Margaret Maccoll in NT 13/11 called Goetz to the
Rescue. The Twinnies and Goetz devote their lives to these birds relying on donations to see them through. If it was not for them the landscape along the Noosa River would look very different If you have not read this article I encourage you to do so. If only mankind would do the right thing. Noosa is a very unique place in the world and if we wish to keep it this way we have to start acting like we care. I have asked the council to do something to prevent these horrible injuries occurring. An introduction of a fine for discarded fishing lines crab pots and unattended fishing lines could be an initial deterrent, with the revenue going to the Pelican population. Thus helping The Twinnies and Goetz. With Christmas just around the corner the situation will only become worse. Perhaps a photograph of the injures that fishing inflicts upon the birds would help.

LETTERS

Don’t Come Back Schoolies Thank you to Alan Golley. His letter to the editor 27/11, regarding Schoolies in Noosa hit the nail on the head. Nobody wants them here. Although I do have to question the big spread in your newspaper of photos of schoolies. It gives the impression that the newspaper, Noosa Today, approved and is celebrating having these kids here. Not what the Noosa community think or want to promote. We live near main beach and walk their regularly. Each morning this week the path has been strewn with cans, bottles and rubbish. If not for those of us who have been picking it up the place would be like a rubbish dump. The pollution extends into the small creek at the bottom of the road.!!!! In response to Alan’s letter my question is what are we as a community doing to ensure that Schoolies do not return to Noosa? Jamie Telleman Noosa Heads
Bring Aussies Home Surely there must be room on the RAAF plane for stranded Aussies who wish to come home by a Covid free flight? Carrying the job seeking ex- Senator around Europe and costing taxpayers $4300 per hour would surely cover the fares for these stranded taxpayers? Just asking. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach
Leave Politics Out What a wonderful SCYT concert we were privileged to attend at the J 27/11. The young children and teens were amazing, and it was very entertaining. Our one disappointment was the politically motivated section on BLM. We think that ALL lives matter and I was disturbed to witness children being used to vocalize their teacher’s opinion. In USA, it appears BLM only if they are killed by a white policeman; most blacks are murdered by fellow blacks and not an eyebrow raised. George Floyd was a hardened criminal, and not an innocent. Hardly an Icon to be revered! Please let the children entertain us with song and dance, and leave their education in the political arena to their parents, not their dance/singing teacher.

It’s Their Right It’s hard to fathom just a how rigid (morbid?) implacably unimaginative the baby boomers, X ers etc etc have become in their attitudes to life perspective and life work balance. Whilst systematically rigging the economic system (through the Liberal Party) to allow them comfortable retirement, access to the housing market, rising wages and a general receivership to their side of the social contract, now they are having a winge at the attitudes of Millennials’. Well it’s THEIR FUTURE. Their world to inherent. If they don’t want to work wage stagnated jobs for Bosses only to be shut out of both
housing and career progression THEN THAT’S THEIR RIGHT. If they balk at some dicktat that says they should have 20 job changes in 20 years and should upskill constantly, and their response is to travel and the two fingered salute then THAT’S THEIR RIGHT. This economic system has been set in vulcanism NOT STONE. Despite what the aphasic political class and moribund economic zombies have said about this life.... Young people know they can MAKE IT BETTER. Apoptosis baby! Dylan White Doonan

Kindergarten comes full circle Horticulturist Ky Koszta’s love for outdoor spaces began when he was just four years old, and he was given the chance to play, learn, explore and grow at Tewantin Community Kindergarten. Now 32-years later, Ky is giving his fouryear-old daughter Ayla, the same first-hand experience to attend the much-loved early learning centre. Nestled on the shores of Doonella, the kindergartens grounds are a perfect environment for young children to explore, filled with a newly installed nature-inspired playground and beautiful gardens that play host to Tewantin’s abundance of flora and fauna. “I remember I loved the nature based outdoor play aspect of kindy, and the freedom I was given to discover,” Life Landscapes owner Ky said.
“My mother has proudly shared with me memories of my extravagant building skills from when I attended. Apparently, the teachers were so impressed that they would always keep my creations to show my mother at the end of the day. Ayla loves Kindy. She is craft crazy and is overjoyed with all the daily activities that allow her to creatively express herself. She loves getting into the dirt, water and sand and really exploring her surroundings letting her imagination go anywhere and everywhere she desires.” Early childhood educator Helen Walsh taught Ky, and today is Ayla’s teacher - said the not- for-profit kindergarten has been focused on providing unique spaces that encourage play in the same quiet, natural setting since 1965.

Investors swoop Tewantin Local investors have swooped on four of five tenanted investments in ‘Shops on Hilton’ - one of the only new retail developments in Noosa. On a busy road linking Noosaville to Tewantin, the 11-19 Hilton Terrace development had a strong visual presence and convenience. Individual tenancies were offered for sale after recent strata titling. Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North’s Louisa Blennerhassett and David Brinkley had been leasing the properties since it opened for trade in 2019. “Yields achieved have ranged from 5.7 per cent to 6.2 per cent with buyers recognising the value of a brand-new building in a prominent location,” Ms Blennerhassett said. “Lease covenants have been strong with all tenants in the early stages of three to five-year
terms, with options. “Buyer enquiry has indicated that people are seeking quality tenants and long-term investments in prominent locations. Given low interest rates, yields are tightening to levels we have not seen before.” “Enquiry has been very strong, coming from Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, and has been varied in terms of demographics and buyer types,” Mr Brinkley said. “We feel that local buyers are witnessing firsthand the strength of the Sunshine Coast and Noosa markets and want to be part of this growth. “These results are confirming what we already know - that the Sunshine Coast is on a strong upwards growth curve which certainly has not slowed in recent months.”

The Year in Cooroy Cooroy Area Residents Association (CARA) is a non-political organisation formed to provide information on issues and development proposals affecting our community, and to give residents a forum to express their opinions. We are independent of Council or business, and do not accept funding from either. Obviously, 2020 was a struggle for many. The virus brought changes to the way we live, work and play. Disruptions were many, especially during lockdown, but the town is back on an even keel and looking to the future more positively now that a vaccine is on the horizon. And Cooroy continues to be the thriving hinterland capital. Council is assessing development applications, and the town centre continues to evolve with its retail mix and is becoming a destination for visitors as much as a service town. Rental properties are in short supply as the town benefits from many people deciding to move from the cities to regional areas for lifestyle and health reasons due to the Pandemic. For all these reasons, CARA believes our role as a guardian of the heritage and character of the town is more important than ever. The Year In late March, a newly elected team of councillors and mayor were elected. The incumbent councillors, Wilkie, Jurisevic and Stock38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 December, 2020
well were re-elected, and they were joined by councillors Lorentson, Finzel, and Wegener. Cr Stewart was elected as the new mayor, replacing Cr Wellington. We would like to acknowledge Tony’s support of CARA for many years, and look forward to working with Clare. Two members of the CARA Management Committee have been kept up to date on preliminary planning for the proposed Hinterland Adventure Playground. Staff have been working through the planning approval process, and adjusting the scale of the development, to suit the budget and requirements of the Cooroy site. Once the process is complete, staff will prepare a report for Council seeking approval to start construction on the revised plan. Our Committee remains disappointed at the lack of public input into the project, and particularly that such a large project is being considered for the CBD before necessary infrastructure improvements. GemLife’s proposal for 242 seniors’ housing units as part of a Gated Retirement Resort adjoining Cooroy Golf Course is still going through the approval process. Part of the applicant’s application is a gift to Cooroy Golf Club of $4.5 m worth of improvements. CARA was unable to hold our usual town meeting to outline the project due to COVID restrictions. Because
we considered the proposal to be an inconsistent land use and will have impacts the town’s infrastructure, our submission objects to approval by Noosa Council. A recent proposal to remove an old Queenslander from the Cultural Heritage Precinct in Maple St drew widespread disapproval from the community after Cr Stockwell employed social media to urge upholding the Noosa Plan. Councillors voted to support the planner’s recommendation to disallow the MCU. New Projects Recently, CARA was approached for support by the Save Noosa Hinterland group who are trying to get some limits put on the Kin KinPomona Rd quarry traffic. With over 200 trucks daily hauling gravel to the Bruce Highway and points south, local residents are facing danger on the roads. School buses must share these roads, and residents have their normally quiet existence shattered by this traffic six days a week. More recently, the trucks and trailers, with 40-tonne loads have been taking the Cooroy route to the highway on some days. Council recently decided to engage a barrister to review all aspects of the Kin Kin Quarry Management Plan. Our plan for a Recreational Cycleway from Cooroy to Tinbeerwah, where it would connect
with cycle paths with Tewantin and Noosa, is being advanced by committee member Ross Hielscher who has had various meetings with consultants and the new council reference group. The Sunshine Coast Airport is having its flight paths re-evaluated by Air Services Australia. CARA understands alternative flight paths proposed by coastal residents may move paths from the coast to the surrounds of Cooroy, and we have therefore put in a submission that seeks to protect Cooroy’s interests. The recent state election saw local LNP member Marty Hunt pipped at the post by new ALP member Rob Skelton. We thank Marty for his past service and look forward to working with Rob on the issues that affect us here. One of these issues will be to progress the transition of West Cooroy State Forest to National Park status. The CARA Facebook Page, Cooroy Community Noticeboard, has grown from around 2,000 members this time last year to over 5,200. The page is a great communication tool and a way of keeping our residents up-to-date with the latest planning applications. Finally, thanks to our committee members and supporters, and to our councillors and local state members for their efforts this year.

The new game is a truly Australian experience.
Noosa in new Monopoly By Abbey Cannan Noosa will soon be featured in a custom Australian Community Relief Monopoly game board to unite Australians nationwide and raise much needed funds due to the impacts of various disasters including bushfires, floods and COVID-19. The edition will see locally themed squares replace Mayfair and Park Lane from the original board and include a customised ‘Community Chest’ and ‘Chance’ playing cards, making the entire game a truly Australian experience. As well as showcasing some of the regions that were severely impacted in 2020, the game
has also been created to highlight the community spirit and strength of these stunning locations. $5 per Australian Community Relief Edition Monopoly game and $2 from each Monopoly Puzzle will be donated directly to The Australian Red Cross, to further assist these areas and people in need around Australia. Charlotte Waalkens, Representative from Winning Moves Australia, the makers of custom Monopoly boards licensed from Hasbro said, “We wanted to provide Australians with something positive in the challenging year that is 2020, and highlight how incredible our
own backyard is, whilst also supporting Australians in need.“ “The communities chosen have all gone through a tough time for one reason or another as everyone has in 2020 and we thought they deserved something special to remind everyone how incredible they are, and help inject some positive spirit through the Australian Community Relief Monopoly game,” Charlotte said. “Choosing which locations to put on the board was unbelievably difficult, as there are so many phenomenal places to choose from in Australia, and we wanted to showcase places
above and beyond the usual cities or hotspots. “We feel that the Australian Community Relief Monopoly board and puzzle capture the heart of Australia and shine a positive light on regions that otherwise may not normally receive such exposure. We hope it will also bring a bit of much needed joy to Australian families over the holidays. “ Launching across the country on Wednesday 25 November, the games will be available at Big W, Sanity, QBD, Dymocks, Toys R Us, The Iconic, Catch, Meeple, Hobbyco, Mr Toys, The Nile, The Gamesmen, Gameology, Gameshop and Gamesworld.
Ballet star heads for Noosa By Abbey Cannan She has spent her life dancing on stages around the world, and now Australian ballerina Mary Li will launch her highly anticipated memoir in Noosa. Annie’s Books on Peregian are hosting a lunch with the author at Noosa Waterfront Restaurant to discuss her book ’Mary’s Last Dance: The Untold Story of the Wife of Mao’s Last Dancer’. The book is the long-awaited sequel to her husband Li Cunxin’s bestselling memoir, Mao’s Last Dancer. Mary said she was excited every time she was able to visit Noosa. “It’s a beautiful place,” she said. “I want people to find persistence and acceptance from this book and discover that love overpowers everything.” She had an idyllic childhood: a rambunctious family full of love and support, in a large Queensland country town, Rockhampton. There she discovered the joy and beauty of ballet, an art in which she very quickly found herself at home. Mary’s dedication and persistence in excelling shone, opening a world of possibility. She said the music was a large factor of her passion for dance. “The training early on was very good and I took to that. I was good at it and the more knowledgable I became the more interested I became,” she said. “I might have some sort of artistry in me that draws me to performance and communication. That’s what ballet is, it’s a form of communication without language.” At the age of just 16, she flew halfway around the world to start a life in London, studying at the Royal Ballet School. Mary’s talent saw her join the London Festival Ballet, where she danced with the likes of Rudolf Nureyev, and then moved on to Houston Ballet, dancing under acclaimed director Ben Stevenson. “I never forward projected my life ever, I just took every opportunity and then bigger
opportunities came my way,” Mary said. That was where she met Chinese dancer Li Cunxin as their chemistry ignited the stage, off stage the two fell in love, becoming darlings of the ballet world. When their first daughter, Sophie, was born, their lives were complete. On her first birthday they started to notice Sophie wasn’t as responsive to noises as she should have been. One doctor cleared her of hearing problems - twice - but still, they noticed a difference when compared to other children. Their fears were confirmed when, at 18 months of age, Sophie was pronounced profoundly deaf. After being told bluntly by a specialist, If you both want to continue your careers, then she (Sophie) probably won’t learn to speak, Mary stepped out of the spotlight to focus on her daughter, determined that one day the two of them would have a conversation together. “It was Sophie’s idea for me to write the book,” Mary said. “I was quite reluctant to start with but she helped me. I actually wrote 160,000 words freehand and she would wake me up for coffee each morning and say ’start writing’. I would go to work and she would type it all up on the computer. So I would come back and be forced to move on. “Li’s editor, who helped him with his book, has been wanting my book for the past 17 years but I certainly wouldn’t have done it unless Sophie wanted her story to be told because it was a big part of my life giving up my career to teach her how to speak.” Mary and Sophie spent years working together to give Sophie a voice. Through hearing aids, hours upon hours of daily speech therapy and fighting for a cochlear implant, all their efforts paid off when a sweet little voice sung along to Rain, Rain Go Away for the first time. It took further years and specialist schools, but Mary achieved her goal: she and Sophie were able to have a verbal conversation together.

“MARY’S LAST DANCE: The Untold Story of the Wife of Mao’s Last Dancer” As much Sophie’s story as it is Mary’s, Mary’s Last Dance, is, above all else is a story of love; a love of art, a love of family, and the unbreakable love of a parent for her child. The lunch will take place on Monday 7 December from 12pm. Tickets are on sale for $60 per person and include a two course lunch and a glass of wine.

Chorale cheer for joy By Jim Fagan ‘Tis the season to be jolly and Noosa Chorale is ready to bring its own brand of cheer to Hastings Street’s “12 Days to Christmas” festivities which start at the end of next week. In groups of 10 they will sing traditional carols each night from Friday, December 11 to Sunday, December 20 and they can’t wait. “I’ve never seen them so enthusiastic. They’re so happy to be singing together again,” Chorale president, Gai Ramsay, told Noosa
Today while her singers practiced at The J last Tuesday. “We haven’t had any concerts this year because of the restrictions so, when the invitation came from the Hastings Street Association to be part of the entertainment, we were thrilled to have the chance to sing carols. “We are also unable to stage our Christmas Cheer Wassail this year and that’s a huge disappointment. “We held our first one thirteen years ago and Noosa has loved it ever since. Our audi-
Join Kong for the surf talk One of the surfing world’s true legends will headline a Christmas fundraiser for the Noosa World Surfing Reserve next weekend, with hopes to raise much-needed funds for the 2021 surf safety programs. Gary “Kong” Elkerton is the son of a Sunny Coast fisherman who finished runner-up in two dramatic World Professional Surfing Championship title races, then went on to win three back to back world masters titles. But above and beyond that, Kong was and still is known as one of surfing’s great characters, a relentless and fearless charger in big waves, a tough competitor and a great storyteller. “I can’t wait to get back up to Noosa and talk story with a bunch of mates, and hopefully make some new friends,” he said this week. “But I’m also stoked to be helping the Noosa World Surfing Reserve make surfing that little bit safer for surfers of all ages.” Money raised on the night will be used for the NWSR’s surf code and surf safety signage program and for defibrillator stations on Noosa’s outer bays. Guest speaker Kong will be joined by Noosa’s favourite surf band, the SandFlys, for a night of fun, frivolity and sensational food at the Surfers’ Christmas Ball at Sunshine Beach Surf Club on Saturday, December 12, 6pm till late. A celebrity surfboard and memorabilia auction will be conducted by legendary surf star, drummer and auctioneer Country Bob Johnson, with a beautiful Fuyu retro pintail up for grabs. 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 December, 2020
ences enjoy coming to the J, sitting at tables, eating mince pies and Christmas cake and joining in with the carols. Gai said, “Our fans say the Christmas feeling doesn’t start for them until they have been to the Wassail. Hopefully, we’ll be alright for next year.” The choir singers will be mainly at the Siebel Forecourt, with one session planned for the French Quarter on December 16. This is just one of the events planned for Hastings Street by former Noosa Longweekend and Noosa
Alive festival director, Ian Mackellar. Just to give you an idea, you may expect to see on different days floating fish, living statues, Cabbage Patch dolls, illuminated butterflies, unicyclists, a flying angel, acrobats, dancers, English Bobbies, stilt walkers, Lollipop Ladies, a jazz band, clowns, carol singers, a harpist, a violinist, Bubbles the Baby Elephant ... the list goes on. “12 Days to Christmas” Hastings Street from 4pm to 7pm, from Friday, December 11 to Tuesday, December 22.
Support local businesses at Christmas in Cooroy By Abbey Cannan
Gary “Kong” Elkerton in action. “This is going to be the surf party of the year,” said a spokesperson for NWSR,” and we’ve still got tickets available.

After a testing year, the Cooroy community is looking forward to the upcoming Christmas celebration, especially young Ashton who is already searching for Santa. Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president Chris Bell said Ashton and his mother dropped into the Cooroy Memorial Hall on Saturday as they were decorating the trees. “He was looking for Santa and to this effect, he will be back again Friday to have his photo taken. In the meantime, he settled for a hug with one of the reindeer,” Chris said. The Cooroy Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to spreading some Christmas spirit around the community with late night trading in Cooroy from 5.30pm to 8pm on Friday 4 December. Most of the local retailers are on board and are keen to welcome shoppers with special offers and promotions. Bring the kids down town to enjoy the entertainment during the evening. Watch out for Christmas Lights Competition and Crazy Christmas Bikes Competition entry forms around town or go online www.cooroy.com.au

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
The grand old girl in all her glory. Photo on the wall at the Royal Mail.
History, grub and lingerie Trevor Pepys reviews the Royal Mail Hotel While the Pepys familial connection with the historic Royal Mail Hotel at Tewantin goes back to great-grand-dad Samuel (no, not that one, a later one) who, as a young man, would ride down from Gympie on the Cobb & Co with Charlie Crank at the whip, and help him tether the horses about where the Woolies car park is now. Late in life old Sam and Trev’s great-grandma Gretel would hobble up the hill and take a window seat in the dining room every Friday night and watch the sun set over the river while they devoured Eliza Donovan’s Cooroy roasted rump or river-caught flathead and chips. But then came the mysterious Tewantin fires of the ‘30s and ‘40s, and the Mail went up in smoke in March 1939, almost taking Lionel Donovans fleet of tourers and limos with it. The new owners the Bulimba Brewery Co, collected the insurance payout and built a modern and larger brick replacement in 1941, just a year after the town’s other pub, Martin’s, also mysteriously burnt down, making the Wanna a one-pub town, which it still is. Funny about that. Fortunately, old Sam had passed away, choking on a wishbone in Eliza’s chicken mornay, shortly before this disaster, and he didn’t have to witness his beloved pub disappear as collateral damage in a brewery stocktake, and Gretel died of heartbreak soon after. But as a result of this tragic end to a beautiful relationship - them and their pub - generations of Pepys peeps have given the Mail a wide berth, although it is possible that Trev went there to see the great Tamam Shud in 1969. If you can remember the ‘60s, you weren’t really there, as they say. But all that changed on the 78th anniversary of great-grandpa Sam’s mornay-munching misery last Friday night. Of course, the Royal Mail has undergone many makeovers since those halcyon days of white table cloths and proper salt and pepper grinders, and now the dining room is a “bistro”, entered from what Trev still likes to think of as the stables side, past numerous closed doors that lead to who knows what pleasures of the flesh or the palate. The bistro is large and airy and benefits hugely from the historic photographs hung around its walls, and if you grab a window banquette, you can still watch the river sunset over the roof of the bottle shop. So Trev and the missus said a little prayer for old Sam and Gretel, slapped down their senior’s cards and hungrily surveyed the seniors menu. (And please 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 December, 2020
The mains - fish and chips and chicken schnitzel. note, Noosa restaurateurs, the Mail is setting a trend here. Check the demographics, count the walking frames, do likewise.) While the senior’s offerings were not as wide-ranging as the main menu, there was plenty on it for Trev and the missus to invoke the memories of the dear departed, while being cheap enough to make pigs of ourselves. So, Trev ordered a bottle of Circa 1858 chardonnay ($25, and excellent value for a 162-yearold wine) and a salt and pepper calamari ($11) to share for starters. Of all the salt and pepper calamaris Trev has devoured over the years, he can truthfully say that this was the most recent. Tastefully presented on a white plate with fat chips and a side salad of droopy leaves and cherry tomatoes. Next, Trev went for the chicken schnitzel ($14) while the missus chose the crispy fish
and chips ($13). These too were tastefully presented on a white plate with fat chips and a side salad of droopy leaves and cherry tomatoes. Full as googs and having suffered no wishbone incidents, we polished off the ancient wine and made to leave, the sun having set and other diners having drifted in to what had been our private parlour. The verdict: If you go with low expectations you won’t be disappointed. This is perfectly adequate pub grub at a price everyone can afford, served with a smile by an energetic and helpful staff, and with Noosa’s living history on its walls. Plus, Trev hears they have lingerie waitresses and a meat raffle in the public bar on Friday nights! Royal Mail Hotel, Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin, phone 54471644.

SOCIAL SCENE
Noosa chances its bets The Noosa Chances Gala Fundraising Dinner, held on Saturday 21 November at Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar, sold out in a day and raised almost $90,000 to fund education scholarships for talented Noosa students facing financial barriers. Launching only a year ago Noosa Chances has already raised more than $230,000 through three events which will translate into 19 scholarships. Next year they are aiming for a further 20. With team members being unpaid volunteers virtually all funds raised go directly to their scholarships. Noosa Chances CEO Tara Bell said the night was a huge success and they were extremely grateful for the incredible support they received. “This included the pro bono culinary skills of five top notch chefs from the area that created a superb course each, as well as canapes, teamed with Veuve champagne, fine wines, and Heads of Noosa craft beer, much to the delight of our guests,” she said. The chefs at the event were Michelin-star chef Michael Bedford, formerly of Trouble House, UK, Andrew Tomlin of Season Restaurant, Andrea Ravezzani of Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar, Zeb Gilbert of Makepeace Island (ex-Wasabi) and desert maestro Adriano Zumbo. “MC Sam Coward was a hilarious and entertaining host, while the school captains of Sunshine Beach State High School and Noosa District State High School, Emily Snell and Tyson Gamble, stole the show and were fantastic ambassadors for Noosa Chances being amongst their first scholarship recipients,” she said. Much of the fundraising on the evening emanated from auction prizes including an exclusive lunch for 10 on Makepeace Island provided by the island’s co-owners Cathie Reid and Stuart Giles, who also hosted a VIP table. Mr Giles described the event as “a fantastic way to bring the Noosa community together and ensure the best and brightest high school students of our region have every opportunity to achieve their full potential and follow their dreams regardless of their specific family or financial circumstances”.
A night of glamour and fundraising.
Noosa power couples enjoy the evening.

Greg Midolo is playing better golf than at any time in the past 50 years, and just wishes he’d joined Noosa Golf Club a few weeks earlier. If he had, he’d have won last week’s Noosa’s Tuesday Club Stableford competition, and happily pocketed the winner’s prize of $150. Instead, his 41 points - two better than anybody else in A Grade - was good enough only to see his handicap reduced by another stroke. “I knew I wasn’t eligible to win anything on the day,” he said. “The prizemoney would have been nice but, really, all I’m trying to do is improve my game and get my handicap as low as I can.” That’s something Greg has been doing regularly in recent weeks. A 14-handicapper just three months ago, Greg now plays off eight - and reckons he can get his handicap even lower. He’s also a Maroochy River member. In fact, he won the midweek comp there the following day with 42 points - but decided to join Noosa because several of his mates were members. “It’s a different sort of course to Maroochy River - more trees, tighter fairways and less wind - and I enjoy playing both courses,” said the Mt Coolum resident. Greg, 63, puts his improved play down to the purchase of a new Scotty Cameron putter, a swing tip he picked up watching a coaching clinic on television, and his decision to use a three-wood, rather than driver, off most tees. He also leaves his glove on while putting - something he says gives him greater confidence on the greens.

Paul praises the real star Paul Liddy won the Calvin Klein men’s A Grade championship at Noosa Springs on Sunday, but was quick to claim his wife Toni was the real star of the family. In a remarkable twist, Toni won the ladies’ B Grade category of the 54-hole championship - and gallant Paul was quick to recognise her achievement. “Besides,” he said, “I want to make sure I get my dinner tonight.” Paul and Toni Liddy have been Noosa Springs members for four years, and concede their experience of the course may have played a part in their wins. “I don’t think I played exceptionally well,” Paul said. “I just played smart.” His three rounds returned Stableford scores of 34, 35 and 34, for a 54-hole total of 103. “While some of the others blasted away with their drivers, I concentrated on keeping my ball in play. You’ve just got to hang in there,” he said. The Calvin Klein A, B and C Grade Championships are played at Noosa Springs late every year. They are contested by golfers from all over south-east Queensland and, normally, from interstate. Despite Covid-19, entries this year were outstanding. Noosa Springs golf services manager Warren Ellis said he had to turn away dozens of golfers who sought to register after the field had reached capacity. Paul Liddy, 69, who retired to Noosa eight years ago after owning hotels in Sydney, has been a golfer since he was 10. He and Toni play at least three times a week - “I’d play every day if she’d let me” - and when he’s not golfing, he surfs Noosa’s beaches. “We just play for fun,” Paul said. “Neither of us practices much.” It is the third time they had each played in the A, B and C Grade Championships. “It’s a lot of fun and we get to meet different people from other clubs,” Paul said. Results were: Men’s A Grade: Paul Liddy 103, Russell Palmer 100, Alex Wheatley 100; B Grade: Chris Wilson 104c/b, Frank Colbran 104, Chris Clarke 100; C Grade: Kevin Bolitho 95 c/b, Bruce Shannon 95c/b, Bill Young 95c/b. Women’s A Grade: Silvana Phillips 102, Karen O’Brien 99, Jill Marrinan 97; B Grade: Toni Liddy 110, Marie Gull 102, Tereza Holley 98; C Grade - Helen Ringrose 111, Carol Yancey 105, Kim Galpin 104. Young champs are going places A 16-year-old girl, who struggled to play to her 42 handicap a couple of years ago, has just won this year’s Peregian open championship setting a course record of 73 in the process. Sami Dryden, a young woman who takes her golf very seriously, shot rounds of 73 and 87 to take out the women’s championship. And in a stunning result for the juniors, 17-year-old Adam van Dorsselaer won the men’s championship with rounds of 74 and 71 - another course record. Sami’s father Matt, who usually caddies for his daughter, is amazed at her rapid improvement. “At the end of her first year playing the game she’d cut her handicap from 42 to 20, then a year later to 10, and now it’s 4.7 or something,” he said. “She just keeps getting better.” Sami, who is coached by Grant Field at Pelican Waters, is a junior member of Peregian, Noosa Springs and Maroochy River, and attends school at St Andrew’s, Peregian Springs. Like Sami, Adam van Dorsselaer enjoys great support from his family. Adam, who didn’t take up golf until he was 12, moved to the Sunshine Coast from Toowoomba, with his parents who are both school teachers. Initially a student of teaching pro Ian Triggs at Brookwater, Adam now works with Dom Azzopardi, the coach of Lucas Herbert, one of the world’s most promising professionals. One good hole pays off for Evan and his mates 48 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 December, 2020
Be smart when you practice Paul and Toni Liddy - each a winner in the Calvin Klein A, B and C Championships. Evan Millar and the rest of his foursome had, by their own admission, played pretty ordinary golf when they reached their final hole in last week’s Noosa Springs Skins event. Evan and two of his mates parred the hole - the short Par 4 10th, a hole that’s not too difficult. With each of them having a shot, and with their team score being the sum of their three best individual scores, Evan’s group signed for an impressive nine points for that one hole. Now, the beauty of Noosa Springs Skins is that nobody knows who’s won anything until all the scores are revealed at the presentation that follows. The best team score on each hole wins four bottles of premium wine. If two or more teams tie, the prize jackpots to the next hole. If there’s another tie, it jackpots again, and again - until there’s an outright winner. Evan Millar’s level of excitement rose as holes five, six, seven, eight and nine were all tied, and with the pot now worth 24 bottles of wine, the question was whether their nine points was good enough to win the 10th hole. In the end, it was. “We let out a roar,” said Evan, a member of Noosa Golf Club and an occasional starter in the Skins games at Noosa Springs. “The organisers were good enough to pack the bottles into cartons so we could carry them to our cars. “The wine will come in handy for Christmas.” Evan and his group have already vowed to return when the series - four games are played each year - resumes in the New Year. Ben in the mix at Maroochy River Noosa’s Ben Palfrey shot an excellent four-over par 76 in testing conditions on Sunday to be the A Grade nett runner-up in a hotly contested Maroochy River Open. Palfrey, playing off a handicap of six, returned a nett 70 - two strokes behind Headland’s Andrew Stirling. Outstanding amateur Zach Maxwell was the Open champion with an excellent par round of 72. Maxwell, 20, from Brisbane’s Virginia, beat Warwick’s Kris McLennan by a single stroke in an event that attracted 195 players from southeast Queensland. Lowood’s Nathan Edwards, who shot 93 from his 27 handicap, returned the day’s best nett score of 66, while Maroochy River’s Keith Horne (77) was the best performed Masters golfer.

By Peter Heiniger TAKE THE TIP So why do we practice? Simply because we all want to improve and lower our golf scores. However, many golfers tend to practice poorly, which can hurt more than help. We all live busy lives these days and finding time to practice can often be difficult. So, when the opportunity arises to practice we have to make sure it’s as beneficial to our game as we possibly can. We can’t afford to waste time. For example there’s no use practicing our driver when we continually have 40 putts per round. So how can we formalise the perfect practice plan? Well, here’s your four point action plan to gain the most out of practice and lower your golf scores Chart your golf with a round analysis over your past 10 games. Data such as fairways and greens in regulation, number of putts and your success with up and downs around the green would be ideal. Then book a one hour lesson with your friendly PGA professional and present to him or her the data from your round analysis to identify how best to improve your problem areas. You should also take any other information you think would be worthwhile. Dedicate at least two one-hour sessions per week to practice the recommendations from your lesson. It may seem a lot but I find one morning before work and Sunday afternoon works well for most people. Take a follow-up lesson to track your improvement. Sometimes it might not be exactly how it may feel. You may even incorporate an on-course lesson, which is a great way to see how the improvements work under pressure. Making it work on the course is the real test. Good Golfing, Peter Heiniger is Noosa Springs’ resident PGA teaching professional

All happening for summer Good numbers of whiting are moving along the beaches with some good schools being spotted at Sunrise and Sunshine Beach and caught on cured or live worms. Tailor have been caught on sunset and after dark at the third cutting and up at Double Island point on the North Shore beach along with the start of our annual dart run. Small school mulloway will start to show up along the metro beaches and if you use bigger baits like mullet fillet or similar you can hopefully attract the better fish, remember big bait big fish! (usually). Peregian beach has been good for whiting, dart and the occasional tailor plus a bonus with some nice flathead caught on the low tide. Tailor have been on the chew inside the Noosa River, especially around the river mouth and the Woods Bays area. This happens most years here in Noosa with the fish making their way back after spawning along the Fraser Coast. The tailor will bite on surface lures early morning and late afternoon and will eat an unweighted pilly as well. Trevally are also on the bite in the same areas with some good GT’s also been found up around the ski run at Tewantin early mornings as the sun is rising. Munna Point has also been fishing well for trevally and tailor, early in the day as well, so it pays to stay mobile if you are land-based. Casting slugs and micro Jigs from these areas can also work well as the fish feed aggressively in the low light hours. Good whiting have been entering the river and are being caught on live worms and yabbies in the Frying Pan area. Whiting lure fishers are doing well on the start of the incoming tide on the sand flats, using the MMD Splash Prawns and the ever-reliable Sugapens. Upriver, the jacks are really firing, in the area between the lakes. These fish are the brawlers of the rivers and pound for pound are one of the toughest fighters out there. Live baits of poddy mullet or herring cast around structure will get quickly gobbled up by jack, but hooking them is only half the battle - getting them out of their snaggy homes is when the reel fun starts. Using good-quality eight carrier braid of around 20lbs, and a fluorocarbon leader up to 25lb, will give you the tools to stay in the game. For the diehard lure anglers, red suspending lures are very popular and are usually the first to hit the water. The Sugadeeps and the Zerek Tango Shades have been flying off the shelves with some great results. With the arrival of the first Spanish and spotty mackerel, plenty of anglers have been out chasing those bait schools looking for their first pelagics of the season. Reports have been there with plenty of undersized Spanish and some good sized spotties on offer. Tuna have also been chewing with most being Mack with the odd longtail amongst them.
Richard from the Noosa Yachtie Fishing Club boated this yellowtail kingfish while on a Trekka 2 charter to Sunshine Reef. Pictures: WWW.FISHINGNOOSA.COM.AU The inshore reefs have been fishing really well when the conditions allow. Plenty of cobia have been caught at Sunshine Reef, along with sweetlip, snapper and moses perch with a few coral trout starting to show up and expect similar fishing at Chardon’s Reef. North Reef produced snapper, some big pearl perch, and sweetlip. Check the FAD and, if it’s not a parking lot, have a go for some mahi mahi on the change of tide. Halls reef has been good for sweetlip as well as cobia, and the odd snapper still hanging around. Trips to Double Island are well worth the effort when the conditions allow, with good catches of tusk fish snapper pearlies and dolphin fish on the closer in drops. Out wider the

The Senior Master Mixed Team Brown celebrating their first place win.
Outriggers shine at zone By Jo Searle Last weekend the Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club had 20 crews racing at the Bell’s Beach Clontarf regatta, hosted by the Scarborough Outrigger Canoe Club. And what a great day it was. Beautiful blue, sunny skies and a relatively calm bay welcomed everyone with the first race at 7.30am. The men’s 10-kilometre long course was the first to hit out, and Noosa teams set a benchmark for the day with Team Bensted placing first in the Golden Master men’s division in a time of 50 minutes 17 seconds. Noosa’s two other Golden Master men’s crews, Bullsharks and Team Dinsey, placed third and fifth in the respective times of 53:28 and 54:15. In the strongly-contested Master men’s division, Noosa’s Team Rocco placed third in 49:06 and Team Bodo was fourth in 49.44. The Platinum men, the only over-70s crew to race, crossed the line in 59:39. The women’s OC1 and OC2 10km longcourse race set off soon after the men’s race. Noosa’s Manu and Cath McKee took line honours and won the Senior Master OC2 division in 58:51. Then Nicola Cameron took line honours in only her second OC1 race ever, and won the Senior Master women’s OC1 division in 1:07:28. The next race for Noosa crews was the women’s 10km long course, with all Noosa teams finishing strongly. Team Phillis won the Senior Master women’s division and crossed the line second in the full field of number crews in 55.30. Team Irving placed third in the Senior Master women’s division in 58:36, very well-placed against the 14 contesting teams in their age division.
Noosa’s Senior Master Men, Team Rocco, were all smiles after placing third. In the Master women’s division, Noosa’s crew finished first in 55.55 and the Golden Master Women’s crew placed third in their division in a time of 1:01:41. The men’s OC1 and OC2 10km long course race set off soon after the women’s race had started. Noosa’s Simon Currie placed first in the Golden Master Men’s division in 1:05:27. Next up, NOCC Juniors Adler, Liv, Ry, Jett, Sam and Jasper had a great day of racing. “They all stepped up and worked with other juniors from our zone so that everyone
got the opportunity to race, which is what it’s all about.“ said Juniors coach Flea White. “I’m so stoked they got amongst it and it all helps towards building better friendships and paddling skills into the future“. Liv, Adler and Ry joined Fraser Coast to win the under-12s. Jasper and Sam helped out Bayside, coming first in U16 and Jett helped out Fraser Coast, placing second in U16. The last races of the day were the 5km short course, with a little more breeze and slight chop in the bay to add some interest. Firstly the men’s race
with Noosa’s Platinum Master men finishing in 37.00. In the women’s race, Noosa teams again placed well in the overall field of 23 teams. Novice women, Team Hegarty, was third over the line and won the Novice division in 34:44 and the Senior Master women’s team was fourth over the line and first in their division in 35.44. The Noosa’s Master women’s crew was sixth over the line and second in their division in 37:39 and Novice women, Team Bluementals, was eighth over the line and second in their division in 38:24. The Platinum Master women’s crew, the only over-70s crew to contest this race, finished in 43:34. The final race of the day was the Mixed 5km short course. Three Noosa teams contested this event, with Senior Master Mixed Team Brown crossing the line in fourth position overall and winning their age division in 32:53. Senior Master Mixed Team Lawrence finished in 38:16 and the Golden Master Mixed team finished fourth in their division in a time of 36:28. Overall, a great day was had by all. In amongst all of the racing there was camaraderie and dancing, with the Noosa ladies taking centre stage. Now the attention turns to the Noosa Outrigger Regatta on Saturday, 5 December in Laguna Bay. Teams from across the South Queensland zone will be here to contest the ocean races. You can catch the action from Main Beach and the National Park headland. For more information, or to come and try, visit: www.noosaoutriggers.com.au
World record haul for USC Spartans swimmers USC Spartans swimmers sent records tumbling at the 2020 Australian Virtual Short Course Championships last weekend, with Kaylee McKeown breaking a long-standing record for 200-metre backstroke. The 16-strong Spartans squad returned to the Sunshine Coast today after claiming 10 world records, one Commonwealth record, and two Asian records in their first return to national competition since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Kaylee swam the 200m backstroke in 1 minute 58.94 to take almost half a second off
the world short course record set in 2014 by Hungarian swimming great Katinka Hosszu. The Olympic hopeful, who earlier this month set new Australian long course records in 100m and 200m backstroke, also set a new Commonwealth and Asian record in the 200m individual medley at the weekend. Australian Paralympian and USC Bachelor of Arts student Katja Dedekind left the two-day virtual meet with four world records - in the 400m freestyle, 50m and 100m backstroke and 200m individual medley. USC Sport and Exercise Science gradu-
ate Jacob Templeton set a world record in the men’s 200m multiclass freestyle, before backing it up with another in the men’s 100m freestyle Other world records were claimed by Paralympians Blake Cochrane (Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Science) in the 50m breaststroke and Braedan Jason (Bachelor of Journalism) in the 400m freestyle. USC Spartans para swimming head coach Nathan Doyle said the team was in sizzling form at the national championships, still fresh from an impressive hit-out at the state
2020 Medal Shots Long Preparation Meet two weeks previously. “The Spartans started with a bang,” he said. “Five world records were broken in the first session and they didn’t let up over the course of the weekend, with no fewer than 10 world records, one Commonwealth and two Asian records broken, and plenty of personal bests to match,” he said. “We are now straight back in the pool with our focusing turning to the State Championships in two weeks,” he said.

Thunder players congratulate Cameron Munster on his wicket.
Cameron Munster bowling his wicket-taking ball.
Munster magic hits home By Randall Woodley Who would have ever guessed that the scorebook of the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder first XI team would have an entry: B. MAHER, caught J. OFFICER, bowled C. MUNSTER - 5. On Wednesday night, 18 November, Queensland number 6, five-eighth, and man of the State of Origin series, Cameron Munster, was controlling the game for the Maroons in their win over New South Wales. A week later on the 26th, he donned a different Maroon outfit and played for the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder cricket team and took a wicket on the fourth ball he bowled in the Twenty20 match. The match, played under lights at Read Park for the local first grade team, was against the Sunshine Coast Scorchers, who play in the Queensland Premier competition in south east Queensland. The Thunder was also strengthened by the inclusion of ex-Bulls and international batsman Nathan Reardon, who is doing some
coaching with the TNT club this season. Cameron Munster turned up early and made himself available to everyone, especially the junior cricketers in having photos taken and signing autographs. He admitted he had not played much cricket in the past few years but had been a left-hand quickie in his teenage years. His only cricket recently was with the Melbourne Storm players, using a tennis ball prior to their training during the footy season. He did all the warm-up drills with the local team and even showed a couple of extra moves to them. At 6pm the Scorchers batted first and the good-sized crowd was thrilled when TNT’s strike bowler Scott Aufderheide rattled the stumps of their opening batsman and captain, Alecz Day, for a duck in the first over. It was then that the Scorchers knew they had a game on their hands. They began to consolidate and at 3/45 the crowd cheered as number 24, Cameron Munster, ran onto the field.
Officer scores another ton By Randall Woodley Following on from the successful night match on the Thursday night, the Thunder first graders had a day out against the Gympie Gold team at Read Park last Saturday. Winning the toss and deciding to bat first, the TNT openers batted very patiently - intent on building a solid foundation so that the later batsmen could build a competitive score. Captain Jake Dennien and Alex Bennett built the score slowly to 46 before Bennett (20) was out. It was 1/61 at lunch. Sam Baker scored a classy 33 and later in the early afternoon the scoreboard showed 3/155. Jake Dennien eventually went for 89, one of the best innings he has played for the club, and then it was time to shake things up and Jarrod Officer led the charge. He scored his century off just 63 balls, hitting 11 fours and five sixes. He was supported by Scott Aufderheide (40 off 30 balls) and the pair put on 87 before the captain declared at 5/312 in the 91st over. The Gympie boys had to play out four overs before stumps and lost a wicket to Aufderheide and will resume next Saturday at 1/11. There’s another 19 wickets to take next week and a great chance for the Thunder to go for an outright win. THIRDS: The team travelled to Palmwoods and after Jason Toohey won his first toss of the season the Thunder batted first. The team started well before losing Cooper Lea (28) and a couple more wickets to be 3/74. With Pete Walker as the anchor-man, Adam Curry (40) and Darcy Morgan (28) pushed the score up to 6/191. Eventually Pete Walker was out for 98 showing skill and poise in his innings. Robbie Payton then blasted a 37 to 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 December, 2020
help TNT to be all out for 257. At stumps Palmwoods was 2/60. FIFTHS: The side travelled to Yandina last Saturday with a new-look team brimming with enthusiasm. Losing the toss, TNT was asked to bowl in the scorching 40-degree heat and it turned out to be a long and frustrating afternoon. Wickets were hard to come by but eventually the TNT boys wrapped up the Yandina innings at 225. Best of the Thunder bowlers were Steve Hill 5/35 off 20 overs, and Ian Brundell 2/64 off 10, with Euan Buxton, Luke Anstey and Naveen Chand each taking a wicket. The Thunder batted out the remaining six overs to be 1/10 at stumps. With the TNT batsmen now very aware that 200 is the benchmark score, the feel in the sheds is that TNT will give the run chase a good shake next week. Game on. SIXTHS: The team took on Coolum at Dale Officer Oval and struck some early gold with one of the best caught and bowled wickets this year. The visitors were in trouble at 8/107 before some sloppy fielding and a few wags of the tail eventually had them all out for 169. Justin Talbot, Shane Gessell, Wayne Moore, Brendan Chaplin and Graham Chaplin each captured two wickets. Special mention to the wizard Finn Mayo, who again at just 14 had the batters completely baffled with his leggies. Batting late in the day, TNT lost a wicket and will need to buckle down next week to gain first innings points. RIGHT: Century-maker Jarrod Officer leads the team off the field after a very successful day’s cricket playing the Gympie Gold team.
He took over from the bowler at northern end and everyone, including the two batsmen, waited, not sure what was to come from the hands over the talented footballer. He bowled left-hand quickies and the batsmen managed a couple of runs off his first three balls. Then he bowled a slower ball out of the back of his hand - it swung late and batsman Brett Maher, sensing there were easy runs to be scored, lifted the ball high into the sky for the catch to be taken by the safest hands in the competition, Jarrod Officer, just inside the boundary. The cheers from the spectators were as loud as if Verat Kohli had been dismissed. Cameron only bowled two overs and finished with figures of 1/16. After the match he spent time mingling with the crowd and even suggested he would come back next year if a similar game could be organised. It was a great night for cricket and the TNT Cricket Club. For the record, the Scorchers scored 5/150 and the Thunder fell just short on 143.

How the Games were won By Ian Jobling After the failed 1992 Brisbane and 1996 Melbourne bids, the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) was adamant there would be no large-scale presentations or lobbying by Australian cities proposing to host the 2000 Olympics. Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney all nominated, but the newly-elected AOC President, John Coates, was cited in the Weekend Australian in November 1989 as stating “ultimately we came down for Sydney because it is Australia’s best-known city internationally, it is bigger and easier to promote, and because Melbourne had hosted a previous Olympics”. In the 1990 AOC Annual Report, Coates wrote that the support for “a Sydney bid was done in the knowledge that the residue of goodwill created first by Brisbane bidding for ‘92 and then Melbourne for ‘96 provided the Australian candidate city with a momentum that other cities would be pressing to match”. Many other commentators, and those associated with both bids, agreed. In May 1991, the Sydney 2000 bid committee unveiled the logo, a ‘flash’ representing the famous Opera House, which was depicted on many publications, awnings, posters, and featured in audiovisuals. Lawyer Rod McGeoch was appointed chief executive of the Sydney Olympics 2000 Bid Limited. A key feature of the bid was the construction of the athletic and aquatics sporting complex at what would become known as Sydney Olympic Park at Homebush Bay, just 10 kilometres from the city. In May 1992, during the euphoria generated at a fundraising breakfast, Prime Minister Paul Keating spontaneously pledged $5 million for the Sydney bid, which cabinet later ratified. Australia’s success at the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992 added further impetus to the bid, both from overseas and within Australia. Tickertape parades for the Barcelona gold medallists and home-state Olympians were held in capital and regional cities throughout Australia and the medal-winning potential of Australia hosting the Olympics in Sydney in 2000 was promulgated widely. By September 1992 a public opinion poll in Sydney reported 90 per cent support for the city to host the Olympics. Sydney’s candidature file, comprising 550 pages, 1500 photographs, and more than 80 technical drawings, was flown under tight security to Lausanne In January 1993. Included in the candidature file were letters of approval from the international governing bodies of all 25 Summer Olympic sports. The next year, 12 IOC members were in Sydney for the Australia Day celebrations and, in March, the 11 members of the IOC’s Inquiry Commission visited the bidding city for three days. When this commission released its findings on all the bidding cities in July, it was stated that Sydney offered conditions beyond what was expected by the IOC, thereby placing them in a favoured position. The three-day visit by President Samaranch to Sydney in May highlighted the excellent progress which had been made in the planning of facilities, and much was made of environmental aspects and guidelines for the proposed Sydney Games. The bid documents showed that major facilities to be built included an 80,000-seat stadium, a 15,000-seat indoor stadium, a velodrome, tennis centre, gymnastics pavilion, and four indoor sports halls. Another proposed feature was that the Games village would house all 15,000 competitors and team officials in one location. Where were you on that 24 September, 1993 morning (4.20am EST) when IOC President Samaranch announced in Monte Carlo that Sydney would be the host city for the Olympic Games in 2000? Istanbul, Berlin and Manchester were eliminated in the first three rounds of voting; and in the final round IOC members voted 45 to 43 in favour of Sydney over Beijing. Hundreds of thousands of Sydney-siders, who had partied all night in anticipation of the announcement, continued their celebration through the dawn and throughout the day. The announcement was well-received throughout the nation and the expectation was that Sydney would stage an impressive Olympic Games. The challenge was there to all Australians to make it worthy of Australia and in keeping with the philosophy of the Olympic move-

The official Olympic Games poster post Sydney being awarded the Games incorporated the bid logo. ment. After 15 days of magnificent athletic performances and the largest group of volunteers at any sporting event. President Samaranch’s parting words were: “The best Olympic Games ever”. A consistent theme of all the proposals and bids put forward by Australian cities was that hosting the Games would be beneficial to the economic, political and social life of the particular Australian city. It would also boost and advertise the city on the international stage. An evaluation of the proposals by Australian cities to host the Olympic Games indicates they were spontaneous and speculative responses to the euphoria associated with Australia’s involvement in the Olympic movement. Melbourne was the first Australian city to put forward a full-scale bid to the IOC. Its bid to host the 1956 Games was the only successful one by a southern hemisphere city for a summer Olympic Games in the first century of the modern Olympics. Following the financial success of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, there has been far greater competition from many cities to host the Games. It became clear that a bid, by a city and a country, might succeed only after several unsuccessful attempts. The Brisbane and Melbourne bids for the 1992 and 1996 Olympics respectively paved the way for Sydney’s successful bid.
The expression attributed to Baron de Coubertin, and certainly an epitome of the Olympic movement, ‘It’s not the winning but the taking part’, is appropriate for all the past Australian proposals and bids. The awarding of the XXVII Olympiad to Sydney was a just and timely reward for past proposals and bids. Late in his life, Pierre de Coubertin was asked to comment on the significance of the Olympic Games. Towards the end of a speech broadcast from Berlin in 1935, entitled ‘The Philosophic Foundation of Modern Olympism’, he stated: “To ask the peoples of the world to love one another is merely a form of childishness. To ask them to respect one another is not in the least utopian (sic), but in order to respect one another it is first necessary to know one another. Universal history such as may be taught henceforward, with due regard to its exact secular and geographic proportions, is the only genuine foundation for a genuine peace.” Throughout his lifetime, the Baron remained adamant that the Olympic Games should be held in different cities every four years. The wisdom of this has been questioned in later decades. Some have argued in favour of a permanent site in Greece, others have favoured the establishment of a ‘neutral Olympic City’. I feel the Olympic philosophy is more
consistent with the concept that the Games should be held in different cities every four years. Although some believe that an open bid system is beneficial to the Olympic movement, the suggestion that the Games ‘rotate’ around the five continents has merit and is worthy of consideration by the IOC. A few days ago, The Australian reported that the Sichuan province and the nearby megacity of Chongqing are teaming up to launch a joint bid for 2032, although this has not as yet been confirmed by the Chinese Olympic Committee. Other bidding cities so far are: Doha, Qatar; Jakarta, Indonesia; Mumbai, India; and a remote possibility of a joint North and South Korea bid. So, is it time Brisbane 2032? Yes. China, Asia and the Koreas are in Asia, which is the region hosting the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028 are in the Europe and North America respectively. No Arabian city has ever hosted an Olympic Games but it is time for the IOC to award the Games to south east Queensland in Australia, as it would only be the second time since 1896 in the Oceania Region of the Olympic movement.

We’re talking Pirates... Despite the Noosa Pirates rugby league team failing to get a game in last season’s Brisbane competition, the club has bounced back stronger than ever. During the past months they have worked in a very positive state of mind. The clubhouse and grounds have been upgraded, the constitution reviewed and re-written where necessary, and following discussions with council they are being heavily involved in the new building project. But probably the most important step has been the fact that the junior and senior clubs are now working and living as one. In part thereof, head coach Brett Winkler said: “I had the great pleasure and privilege to continue coaching and work closely with our older junior teams. I enjoyed it so much, in particular working with our under-18 team, who improved immensely over the season. I certainly learned plenty from them, and it helped myself to improve as a coach”. Their November media release stated: “Moving on from the disappointment from having no senior teams playing in 2020, plus the abandonment of the club’s annual rodeo event, the Pirates, in true never-say-die spirit, will be kicking off the 2021 footy season with their inaugural 9s rugby league tournament on February 5/6 at Pirate Park, Tewantin. The competition will be open to any senior men’s,
women’s and under-18 teams from not only the Sunshine Coast, but Queensland and beyond, as they battle to see who can take the title and the cash. “For us as a club, we have always started the year early with a great social event. Unfortunately, in the current climate we are unable to conduct our annual rodeo due to some Covid-19 restrictions, so the management committee has looked to other means. We believe that the 9s is a great solution and we’re looking at this building into a long-term fixture on the rugby league calendar.” Noosa Pirates club president Paul Dwyer was also confident that the event, which is under the sponsorship of Stay Noosa, who is one of the tourism industry’s leading accommodation providers and managers, will be a permanent fixture on the Rugby League calendar, not only for the Sunshine Coast, but also the wider rugby league community. “As the tag line goes, it is about fun, sun and footy. Rugby league offers more than the sport itself and this is a great occasion for our wider community to come together and collectively kick off our season as one group.

tion fees at $330 per team for up to 15 players per squad. Games will commence at 4pm Friday and progress into the evening, with games all day Saturday and the final being contested at 8pm Saturday evening. Jackpot money for the event will be $5000 plus. “This is bang-on what we are all about at Stay Noosa... giving people great experiences and places to stay while they enjoy our wonderful piece of the world. We are here for the long-haul for this great event,” added Stay Noosa general manager, Liam Kennedy. Following the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club annual general meeting, the club started its 2021 campaign. In what could be classed as their first major decision of the year, the Pirates re-signed Brett Winkler, the 2019 coach, for the forthcoming season. According to their recent media release, Winkler’s appointment also sees him as the head coach for the senior teams in the club. Working with Winkler will be Mick Duffy as assistant coach, along with Tony Mcilroy as the Division 2 coach. Currently he is in discussions about the under-18 and women’s team coaching applications. Despite coming through several hard months, Winkler is still very confident. “I am so looking forward to be back at the helm of the Pirates and I am sure we can build on what has
been a promising 2020. We recruited well, but that means nothing now, as we weren’t able to get back on the field, despite a great preseason preparation and the club trying to get a game in the Brisbane competition. But that’s life and that’s footy”. When asked what the team’s chances are looking like next season, Winkler was quick to add that: “...it is the whole club approach and the lower grades being as competitive as possible, were vital with the top teams’ overall prospects for the year”. When pushed on his thoughts about the prospects of the Division 1 team in 2021, immediate past president Greg Christensen was quietly confident of being up there at the pointy end of the season. “We will be there! The rebuilding process is well on track and there is a great opportunity to capitalise on that next year. I am confident that teams won’t take us lightly,” he said. For the season ahead, the coaching panel has now been announced: Head coach Brett Winkler, assistant Mick Duff, under-18s Barry Goldthorpe and Nathan O’Neill, Reserve grade Tony Mcilroy and assistant Dean Christensen, and women’s open Scott Christensen and assistant Krysti Walk. We wish them well for the season ahead.

The 2019 world champion Italo Ferreira at Pipeline.

A different world tour For those of you still paying attention to surf news from outside our happy bubble, the 2021 World Surf League championship tour kicks off today as the waiting period begins for the Women’s Maui Pro, followed on 8 December by the men’s Billabong Pipe Masters. A week or so out, swell predictions looked pretty good for a day one start for both events, but beyond that, the WSL season is in chaos. The first four stops of the tour are in the United States, where Covid-19 case numbers are currently at the highest level since the pandemic began. Joe Biden will take office just before the tour moves from Hawaii to Santa Cruz, California, at which time, unless there has been a radical drop in case numbers, we could expect to see immediate tightening of restrictions on travel and events as the new President faces the realities the previous could, and would, not. As you would expect from a closed island population, Hawaii’s Covid numbers have been relatively good, but the timing of the season openers is not great for Australian tour surfers, who will face Christmas in quarantine should they choose to return for family reasons. Veteran Ace Buchan has already pulled out of Pipeline to spend Christmas with his young kids, and with the schedule likely to be riddled with event cancellations along the way, this early no-show might spell the end of a great career. Most, however, will opt to remain in Hawaii for January’s men’s and women’s Sunset Open, which signals the return of women’s surfing to the big arena of the North Shore after a decade away. The Hawaiian leg will also include a ‘surfoff’ for the second injury wildcard for the 2021 season between Italy’s Leo Fioravanti and our own Mikey Wright, who will apparently surf three man-on-man heats at Pipeline before the start of the Pipe Pro, which is sure to get a hostile reaction from the locals if the surf is pumping, illustrating yet again that strategic thinking is not what the Wozzle does best. The US leg is meant to conclude at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz in early February, but that’s just two months away, and right now most of California is going through its most severe
Problem solved.
Whoops. Woodie on the rocks. lockdown of the pandemic in response to spiralling case numbers. I had a Zoom call this week with the World Surfing Reserves executive in Santa Cruz, and while they remained positive, there was an overwhelming sense of disappointment and concern about the cold winter ahead. After Santa Cruz, the fourth stop on tour is meant to be the Meo Pro in Peniche, Portugal, but this has already been “postponed” because of the second wave across the Iberian peninsula. Next, the tour moves to Australia for Bells Beach at Easter, followed by Margaret River and lastly the Gold Coast Pro at the Superbank in the first half of May, almost too late for the best swell window. Assuming that all state borders remain open, and that the international surfers allow time for quarantining, this leg seems the most likely to proceed as planned,
Picture: GARY CLIST although the WSL has yet to confirm anything beyond Santa Cruz. The long-awaited return to G-Land is slotted next, but G-Land is in Java, where we don’t even know the true state of the pandemic as yet, and all feasible international entry points, like Denpasar, Surabaya and Jakarta, are problematic now, but maybe won’t be in six months. After that, it’s too far out to predict what will happen as the tour hopes to roll on to Brazil and South Africa in June, then back to California for the Surf Ranch Pro in August, then back to Tahiti, then back to California for a finals series at Trestles in September. And just a thought about all of that - couldn’t the WSL consider emissions, not to mention costs, as surfers flit around the globe unnecessarily? Would it be unthinkable to move Surf Ranch back one stop to save a Pacific round-trip?
Picture: GARY CLIST
Finally, when it comes to the longboard tour, we know nothing, except Noosa won’t be on it. Most likely it will be a US-based tour in the latter part of the year. Meanwhile, the Noosa Festival of Surfing will be a scaled-down domestic event which has been pushed back to the very edge of the swell window in midMay, for reasons unknown. Boys will be boys After all that nonsense about schoolies behaving badly, let’s reflect on some really naughty surf-related behaviour. I remember seeing these shots years ago, but big thanks to surf collector and photographer Gary Clist for refreshing my memory during a conversation on his porch last week. The year is 1968, late May, end of the surf season, and, there being no surf, the boys are leaning on the back of the $50 Ford Prefect woodie shooting the breeze and maybe drinking a tinnie or two in the Nasho’s car park. Whoops, did some one leave it in neutral? What do you do with a woodie that’s had its best years and isn’t worth the price of a tow off the rocks? Well, you remove the Plastic Machines and the racks and you torch it, don’t you! No social media in those halcyon days, but word got around, judging by the crew seen through the smoke enjoying the show. Gary says its remains had disappeared in a matter of weeks... so totally sustainable, more or less. Friday, 4 December, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 55

years ago and was a collaborative journey between client, architect, engineers, builder, and subcontractors, to bring it to life. Since its completion late in 2019, it has already won seven prestigious awards, recognising the project’s distinct design, sustainability and technical innovation. Designed by Noel Robinson Architects, its street presence is low key, while on the beachside it has a striking look that naturally weaves into its local environment. Positioned in a steep cliff face overlooking the stunning Sunshine Beach, the construction presented a number of challenges. Hutchinson Builders took on the massive task of creating this masterpiece, that melds into the dunes and vegetation. Project manager Jarod Dingle and site manager Matt Leake were there every step of the way working with a client with vision and an architect with creativity. One of the most challenging aspects of the job they had to deal with was what noone can see. “The complexity and sheer volume of the groundworks along with the restrictions on accessing the site were one of the toughest I’ve faced,’’ Jarod said.

“The experience was such a positive one and I am grateful to all involved for the opportunity to work on such an iconic project.’’ Hutchinson Builders director Russell Fryer said winning National House of the Year for this iconic Sunshine Coast home was something the team was really proud of. “Hutchies also celebrated 100 years of membership with Master Builders Queensland this year, combining these two achievements is a real honour. “We’ve been building on the Sunshine Coast for more than half a century. Having a local team of experienced builders that can deliver complex projects well underpins our presence on the coast as a builder of choice.“ Master Builders Sunshine Coast regional manager Nicola Scott said the award wins put the spotlight on Noosa in what has been a difficult year for the industry due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “This was a wonderful opportunity, a great reflection on how resilient our industry has been during Covid, and the challenges it presented. “I’m so proud. The awards speak for themselves.’’
Built over three-tiered levels into the hillside, the home features six bedrooms, steam rooms, saunas, and an ice bath. It also boasts a dedicated recreation room, bar, and theatre, along with an open plan kitchen and dining area with fully serviced butler’s kitchen including cold rooms and dry stores, multiple garages, workshops, and live-in staff facilities. A 25m pool is the centerpiece of the outdoor space, accompanied by a spa that sits 6m above ground level and takes in the views of the beach below. The client’s commitment to achieving the best possible environmental outcome resulted in multiple efficiencies being incorporated into the home including solar performing glass, natural ventilation systems, 35Kw plus of solar PV system, 126Kwh battery storage, 30,000 litres of water storage, roof garden for thermal performance, solar orientation and shading. The roof-top landscaping camouflages the building and provides valuable thermal advantages while maintaining sufficient and controlled drainage to the roof. The Seaview Terrace house adds to the stunning array of buildings that have been constructed in Noosa through the years.

Queensland borders this week should see a very busy few months. Sold for $730,000, the eventual buyer at Viewland Dve was from Victoria and had family bid on site. They were looking at getting their foot in the market, leaving the tenants in place and moving up in time. There was a phone bidder who had wanted to put a prior offer in but it was not strong enough to stop the auction. The late registrations came from Queensland, including a local bidder, who also inspected on the day. Rick is now marketing a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 32/2 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads, that he describes as “a hidden gem.’’ It comes with three balconies, including a north-facing front balcony with filtered Laguna Bay and North Shore views as well as access to the Macquarie Lodge river beach. RENOVATOR’S DELIGHT Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate was swamped with inquiries for the twobedroom, one-bathroom house on 999sq m at 97 Moorindil St, Tewantin, that was listed at $645,000. So much so that he had six contracts presented for what can be best described as “a really old house’’ but it was just what the buyer wanted. He just liked the land … the whole 999sq m ... and will clear the house away to eventually build his dream home. Two people from Melbourne saw it and thought it was the block for them, Warren said, but it also attracted local interest and they were the eventual buyers. “It was the ideal renovator … beyond repair. The land content in Tewantin has ramped up considerably. “They understand the vibe of Tewantin, the river, the marina, the facilities.’’ Warren also has a four-bedroom, twobathroom, two-car house with pool on 606sq m at 24 Homestead Dve, Tewantin, listed at offers over $660,000. It’s a family home with two living areas, a nine-metre swimming pool, and he is getting unbelievable amounts of interest. “All of a sudden it’s really lifted. “There are good tenants in place. Many inquiries are from young families. “It’s hard to find anywhere to rent so
they are looking to buy.’’ The property has a double garage, remote security gate, solar power and airconditioning. WATER VIEWS EVERYWHERE Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate has been getting good interest on the twobedroom, two-bathroom apartment 35 Culgoa, 5 Quamby Pl, Noosa Heads, that goes to auction Saturday, December 12, at 3pm. It’s in the affordable band, presents really well, and is on the podium level of the complex. Being on the tip of the sandy peninsula, there are really good water views, and the apartment has glass on three sides. Apartments often only open to the deck, so this is much more open. RURAL RUN OF INSPECTIONS It’s not just the weather that’s hot in Queensland’s regional areas as strong buyer demand for lifestyle homes has raised the mercury in the property market. With interstate borders now open, Ray White Rural Dayboro/Eumundi selling principal Vicki Pain is taking advantage of this demand by scheduling a Rural Run inspection day this Saturday and Sunday The Queensland office will open up nine amazing on-the-market properties to the public over the weekend. “The borders are open and the buyers are ready to move to Queensland, so timing just seemed to be right for another run,” Vicki said. “COVID has really changed our market and we have had a large increase in buyers looking in both the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane hinterland at properties. “From the start, the enquiries have come from local, Western Australia, western NSW and western QLD buyers, while registered bidders on our auctions have come from as far as America and Singapore. We also received enquiries from the UK, producing multiple offers on properties and continued auction sales success.” The Rural Run will start at 9.30am Saturday at Bidawa Farm, 125 Bass Rd, Campbells Pocket. And Sunday 9 am at ‘The Orchard’ 55 McClintock Rd, Wamuran On the Sunshine Coast, Johns Farm at 1495 Kenilworth Skyring Creek Road, Tuchekoi will be open Sunday 10-10.30am, and Bendles Farm, 194 Connection Road,

Glenview, Sunday 11.30am to 12pm. LOCATION, VIEWS There has been quite a bit of interest in the auction of the three-bedroom, twobathroom apartment 1/13 Angler Street Noosa Heads. Tim McSweeney of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the location, within an easy walk down to Hastings St or Noosa Junction, were drivers of inquiry. Scheduled for Saturday, December 5, at 11am, the auction has created a terrific amount of interest from interstate, Tim said. Yet there is also local interest and some from Brisbane. This townhome encapsulates the subtropical lifestyle implicitly with northerly views of Laguna Bay. There’s a private sun terrace and pool designed for entertaining. “It’s nice to see this level of interest in the market,’’ Tim said.

UNPRECEDENTED AUCTION LINE-UP Satisfying the insatiable demand for Noosa property has resulted in an unprecedented line-up of Tom Offermann Real Estate-listed properties going under the hammer, in the first three weekends of December. Kicking off the auctions on Saturday, December 5, are four very appealing properties in Noosaville, Tewantin and Noosa Heads including one residence on 12.5 hectares, a corner-block beauty, and an apartment with Laguna Bay views. Five properties on the weekend of December 12-13 include waterfront houses on Noosa Sound and an apartment on Hastings Street. Included in the locations of the final six properties in the line-up of 15, on December 18-19 are Noosa Waters, Sunrise Beach, an apartment in Noosaville, plus a fully-furnished absolute luxe residence in Sunshine Beach. Consistently high clearance rates will no doubt resonate through December. The highlight of last Saturday’s auctions was the sale of the vacant 531sq m beachfront block at 26 Park Cres, Sunshine Beach, for $7.05m. With 180-degree views from Noosa National Park to Mooloolaba, the property attracted six bidders and 45 attendees on a blue-sky day just a few steps from the beach. Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Eric Seetoo said the event was well attended with extremely happy local/overseas buyers who will maximise the great potential of this unique beachfront block. Bittersweet for the sellers – they were happy with the result but sad to let it go. Apartment 7 Las Rias, 8 Quamby Place, Noosa Heads, was passed in at $3.3m Agents Luke Chen and Tom Offermann say that following post-auction negotiations, a sale is imminent. PENT-UP DEMAND It was a tale of different game plans at the auction of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 4/13 Viewland Dve, Noosa Heads, on Saturday. Rick Daniel of Richardson & Wrench Noosa had early inspections as well as building and pest reports done but there were also late inspections and registrations on the day.

ON THE COVER
BREATHTAKING NOOSA ESTATE ARRIVE at a substantial piece of the Noosa countryside, be guided by the sweeping driveway wreathed by nature’s best verdant offerings, and be indulged by undeniable well-earned luxury, indisputable privacy and quite simply a breathtakingly beautiful hinterland estate without peer. On an idyllic knoll, the glorious Piralilly Estate soaks up endless skies with a vista encompassing majestic natural assets such at Mount Cooroy, Mount Tinbeerwah, Mount Cooroora and Black Mountain; a lush landholding where the freshwater Six Mile Creek meanders through 44.2ha of indigenous rainforest, established and productive pastures, with numerous fish-filled dams; but most importantly manicured lawns and botanic-like gardens dotted with striking sculptures. The spotlight however belongs to the residence. Fashioned with visionary eyes and intelligent structural design, this new-age country dwelling totally connects and enhances the spectacular location. It is from this brooding eyrie that one can purvey the surrounding park-like expansive spread. Upon entering the large double doors, the artistic and original bespoke features are a standout. Hand forged door handles of brass and stunning quartzite invite you into a foyer where you will be delighted by a cantilevered fishpond and its colourful inhabitants. The Zen mood is all pervasive. From the dark wide boards of the Tongue N Groove oak flooring, the minimal harmonious palette invites you to a home reminiscent of a gallery. The open airy interior seamlessly connects one with the everpresent and tranquil landscape. A nod to mid-century modern architecture with the judicious use of dark brick, horizontal lines, connected living spaces and bespoke lighting finishes beyond compare. Robyn Cosgrove rugs, Christopher Boots and Articolo lighting are a feature, whilst ceramic Japanese feature tiles and stunning quartzite used throughout, evokes peace and tranquility. Vaulted ceilings cool and further enhance to expose views of birds flying high up to the tip of Mount Cooroy. The kitchen, which has also been designed to serve as an entertaining bar, is outfitted with the expected highend functional appliances, all nestled in leathered Black Omega quartzite expansive
counters and blackened oak cabinetry. The kitchen is fully supported by a fullsize scullery complete with cooking and dishwashing facilities, so hosts are able to entertain in streamlined style. The spectacular north-facing master retreat is serviced by an award-winning spacious master ensuite, featuring an elegant Victoria and Albert free-standing bath overhung by a pink quartz Christopher Boots pendant. This bath, counter-levered out into the view ensures the most relaxing bath experience. Indulgences continue to the ‘his and her’ dressing rooms which have been thoughtfully outfitted for the discerning fashion conscious. The guest wing provides two king-size bedrooms serviced by a spa-like retreat featuring a private bathroom with a view to lose yourself in, a large four to six person steam room with an ‘open-to-the-garden’ shower. There is a separate powder room. All bathrooms feature Cottlesloe quartzite, aged brass Brodware tapware and Japanese ceramic feature tiles. But there is one problem- where to entertain and enjoy this amazing property. From the north-facing front veranda one can be contemplative and comfortably reclined on the outdoor lounge gazing over the hinterland countryside to Mount Tinbeerwah. However, the pool terrace with its direct connection with the landscape, pool and gardens, stunning sunsets, outdoor kitchen and dining facilities, speak of large, informal fun-filled occasions. Perhaps have it all by opening up all the full height stackers to roam leisurely throughout the whole house. Piralilly Estate is a generous and substantial domain that keeps on giving at every turn. From the tennis court hosting amazing views, the dressage ring, the private walking tracks taking you along the creek, across the pastures through the beautiful gardens from one beautiful water feature to the next. Stop in and visit your guests in the two-bedroom renovated guest cottage and partake in a drink overlooking a deep, dark tree -lined dam. Piralilly Estate truly encompasses the very best of Noosa living. A 15-minute drive to the sparkling blue waters of Noosa Main Beach, maybe cycle, horse ride or walk throughout the hinterland Noosa Trail Network. Indulge the holistic way of life with proximity to some of the best farmers
markets and local producers in South East Queensland or grow your own. “Mick Devlin’s Braeden Constructions, completed the build in 2019,” commented Tom Offermann Real Estate’s principal, Tom Offermann, and agent Cameron Urquhart, “and it’s easy to see why later that year Piralilly Estate won Queensland Master Builders House of the Year plus a number of other awards. “Piralilly Estate is a destination. You have arrived. Enjoy.”

There is no doubting the instant appeal of a plum corner position in a prominent estate. Inside the impressive residence, eyes are immediately drawn to the north-facing great outdoors, thanks to sliders which ‘disappear’, bringing the wide covered terrace and the glistening pool with water feature backdrop, into full view. With a built-in pizza oven and BBQ, the mind goes into overdrive thinking about the options for entertaining and family fun.

Upon arrival to unit 35, you’ll find yourself drawn straight to the railing of your outdoor dining area to absorb unique 180° water views over the white sandy beach. There’s always something to see on the waterways that wrap on 3 sides around this perfectly presented apartment; pelicans landing, locals fishing from the far bank, rays hoovering the river bottom, and an endless procession of watercraft heading out to explore the river.

The magnetism of paradise on a north-east facing, wide white-sand 19m waterfront, with almost 180-degree sweeping Noosa Sound river views, is undeniable. Looks like the alfresco scene is set from lolling on a sun lounge by the pool, lunching with friends or 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.
