A look back at what made news in 2020
Bring in the New Year 2020 has been a year we will long remember. Covid-19 halted most of Noosa’s famous festivals, kept our national and international visitors away and challenged many businesses and individuals. There was no Noosa Alive, Noosa Eat and Drink Festival, Tall Trees Art Festival, Noosa Tri and the many other events usually held throughout the year. But we were lucky. Tourists have returned, life is becoming more normal and as a community we are surviving together. As we welcome 2021 most of us will be glad to say goodbye to 2020. Noosa Today wishes everyone a happy and safe New Year.

Joint response By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Police have enlisted the help of Red Frogs for the first time as part of a multiagency response including ambulance, Noosa Council and The Hastings Street Association to New Year’s Eve celebrations in Hastings Street. Police senior sergeant Ben Carroll said after working so well together at the recent Schoolies celebration they called Red Frogs to assist them on New Year’s Eve and they were happy to come. He said they’d also requested mounted police but, being a popular policing unit on New Year’s Eve, they had yet to hear if they were available.
Snr Sgt Carroll said the group would be working closely together to provide logistical and other support to an expected crowd of 5000 to 6000 local revellers in the street and on Main Beach. “An emergency services staging area will be established behind the Hastings Street Police Beat, housing a temporary medical facility and other support,“ he said. “The precinct sees a large amount of people gathering to welcome in the New Year. With that comes some risky behaviours particularly within a large cohort of youths expected to congregate on the beach front.
“During the recent Schoolies event police were seizing alcohol from children as young as 13 years as they tried to enter the precinct. Similar behaviours are expected on New Years and police are imploring parents to ensure they know the whereabouts of their children and to also ensure they or a responsible adult is available to collect and care for their child in the event police or ambulance have to contact them. “This has proved problematic in the past with many instances where parents are uncontactable or unable to collect their children, resulting in Police, QAS or hospitals having to
watch over children whilst they sober up.“ Red Frogs founder Andy Gourley said the Noosa Church would be there with their street reach van and they were stoked to be part of that. He said they were so impressed with the way everyone worked together in Noosa during the recent Schoolies celebrations and were happy to return. Red Frogs have only assisted previously at New Year celebrations at Mooloolaba. Andy said the Red Frog team would be mostly made up of Noosa locals with the addition of a few Sunshine Coast volunteers.

A USC PhD candidate who is researching innovative ways to treat chronic wounds has been awarded two major national nursing awards. Sunshine Coast Blue Care nurse Alison Vallejo was recently presented with Uniting Care’s 2020 “Full Circle - Bringing People Together Award” and the “International Year of the Nurse and Midwife” Award. Mrs Vallejo was recognised for inspiring others with her dedicated efforts and drive to complete PhD research to find life-changing solutions for clients suffering from chronic, non-healing wounds. As part of her research, Mrs Vallejo conducted a clinical trial to research new therapies for chronic wounds, in particular the use of lowfrequency ultrasound as a tool to clean wound tissue, combined with a topical antiseptic. “Chronic wounds can be difficult to heal, or sometimes never heal, and current evidence indicates that wound biofilm can interfere with healing,” Mrs Vallejo said. She said the naturally-occurring biofilm, which is produced by microorganisms adhering themselves to the wound surface, was difficult to manage as it protected the microorganisms and prevented antimicrobial treatments and the immune system from reaching them. “The focus of my research is to provide
quality evidence around how to safely and comfortably remove bacterial biofilm from wounds, and prevent it from reforming, to improve outcomes for patients when standard care is unsuccessful.” Mrs Vallejo was the clinical nurse in charge of the Sunshine Coast-based Wound Solutions Clinic, a collaborative project between USC and Blue Care, which provided nurse-led, multi-disciplinary specialised treatment and management of acute and chronic wounds. She also educates undergraduate nursing and dietetic students, community nurses and other health professionals responsible for wound care. With 20 years’ experience in community nursing, Alison said she developed an unwavering passion for wound care early in her career. For the past eight years, her focus has been on chronic wounds, particularly lower leg ulcers. “I just couldn’t understand why these debilitating wounds didn’t heal and thought that there had to be more that I could do to help these people,” she said. “My desire to learn as much as possible about these conditions and my drive to take it all the way prompted me to conduct a clinical trial and pursue a PhD.”
EDITORIAL Phil Jarratt Journalist E: phil.jarratt@NoosaToday.com.au
The editor’s desk How did we end up making January 1 the first day of the year. It wasn’t always the case.Britannica says it was thanks to the Romans who decided January was a fitting month as it was named after the God of all beginnings, Janus. It wasn’t universally accepted though. The Christians preferred March 25 (the Feast of the Annunciation) or December 25 (Christmas) as new year days and China follows the lunar calendar for their Chinese New Year. There is nothing significant about January 1 in a geographical or astronomical sense, nothing in the physical world to distinguish the day from any other summer day. But we humans imbue New Year’s Day with great meaning. It’s a marker in time that expresses our need for a fresh start as we make another trip around the sun. New Year’s Day, as English essayist Charles Lamb put it, is every man’s birthday. It’s an opportunity to put the past behind us while banking its experiences as wisdom that will help lead to future prosperity and progress. What are your New Year resolutions. Eat less, drink less, exercise more is always popular. World peace and an end to hunger and poverty may have taken a back seat this year to rid the world of Covid. Whatever you decide we wish you a very happy New Year.

Mrs Vallejo’s dedication to her patients has been described as an inspiration by fellow USC researchers and PhD supervisors, Emeritus Professor Marianne Wallis, Dr Eleanor Horton and Dr David McMillan. “Alison’s research has led to significant improvements in the healing of chronic wounds, and tears of joy from clients who had suffered for many years, some for decades,” Professor Wallis said.”While her studies have focused on trialling an innovative treatment for chronic wounds capable of being administered by nurses, she has gone one step further and has trained in microbiological testing techniques so that her research is truly bench-to-bedside.”.

IN BRIEF Teenager charged after stabbing A 17-year-old boy has been charged after a wounding incident on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday 19 December. Around 1am three people were involved in a fight out the front of a Kalowendha Avenue address in Pelican Waters. The incident resulted in an 18-year-old Inala man sustaining lacerations to his abdomen and a 16-year-old Golden Beach boy sustaining lacerations to his arm and back. Both were taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A 17-year-old boy has since been charged with two counts of wounding and will appear in Maroochydore Childrens Court next month.
Women taken to hospital after a car rollover A female patient in her 20s was transported stable to Sunshine Coast University Hospital after her vehicle rolled over on Maroubra Street in Maroochydore around 5.56am on Tuesday 22 December.

Dymanic end of crazy year for Tom It has been a tumultuous year like no other for Tom Offermann, with the most outstanding results since he opened his eponymous real estate company in 1990. A tight schedule of auctions in the first three weekends of December with three properties sold prior, and two sold under the hammer, during the last weekend, confirmed the clearance rate for the year of 91%. Despite a year of challenges and adapting to the changes, Tom Offermann Real Estate was fortunate to be at the forefront of assisting people across the globe and in Australia, achieve their goals of living or investing in Noosa. Records have been broken for prices and
volumes of real estate sold, especially for premium lifestyle and holiday properties. The Offermann team was again recognised as number 1, from 300-plus agencies on the Sunshine Coast, also the number 2 highest selling agency among 3500 in Queensland. Stand-out results, achieved throughout the Noosa Shire, included $5.05m on Sunrise Rd, Tinbeerwah; houses and apartments in Little Cove such as $5.2m at Mitti Street and Cove Point, $6.3m at The Cove, and $6.3m in Allambi Rise. At Sunshine Beach, Seaview Terrace recorded two top sales of $6.6m and $7.6m, also Park Crescent at $7.5m and $7.6m, plus Beaches at Sunrise Beach $7.3m also $10m.
On Noosa Sound multiple sales included two on Wyuna Drive, both $7.75m, three on Mossman Court of $8m, $10m and $10.9m, and $9.8m on Witta Circle. A residence on Noosa Parade achieved $9.625m, and on Hastings Street beachside La Mer sold for $7.4m and a penthouse at Noosa Court was sold for $14m. “All of the credit goes to the team,’’ Mr Offermann said. “Our sales volume was triple the closest Noosa competitors working in the same environment.” What is driving this powerhouse market, how long will it last, also full end-of-year details about Tom Offermann Real Estate, are in the Noosa Property lift out.

A 30-year-old man has died following a crash on a property at Diddillibah last week. At 2pm on December 14 a utility, with two passengers, was being driven by a 21-yearold around a property when it entered a deep body of water and became submerged. The driver and a 19-year-old man in the front passenger seat were able to get out of the vehicle prior to it becoming completely submerged. The male rear passenger, who was 29-years-old at the time, was trapped for a short time before being removed via the rear window. He was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a critical condition and remained on life support until he died on the morning of December 18. Investigations are ongoing.
Man charged after serious assault in Maroochydore Police have charged a 31-year-old man following the serious assault of a man in Maroochydore on the morning of December 19. Around 1.30am, a 50-year-old Kuluin man was located with serious head injuries on Main Road in Maroochydore. Investigations suggest the man was punched in the face before falling backwards on a hard surface. He is currently in Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and remains in a critical condition. As a result of investigations, the 31-year-old Maroochydore man has been charged with grievous bodily harm, possessing dangerous drugs and drug utensils. He was due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday 21 December.

Holidays bring out cheer The 2020 Christmas spirit shone a light on those in need in Noosa, with random acts of kindness from locals warming the hearts of those needing a hand up. A Noosa allied health professional chose to gift a dozen clients down on their luck and finances, a family hamper dropped anonymously on their doorstep. Similarly, a generous shopper waiting in line at a retail store came to the rescue of a distressed parent whose bank card was declined, with a quick swipe of his own debit card. A legal firm with heart gifted backyard sports equipment for children in foster care and then negotiated a free trampoline deal for the children from a local manufacturer. The inaugural Noosa Mayor’s Christmas Appeal, and the well established Adopt a Family Appeal for Sunshine Coast-Noosa families doing it tough at Christmas, enabled local charities to on-gift community kindness to their service users. Youturn at Tewantin with the generosity of community donors, gifted nearly 200 gifts, food hampers and several entertainment experiences to young people and children this Christmas. The aim was to give young people, many of whom are under employed in local service and construction industries, a break from their everyday stresses, Youturn Donor Relations Manager, Susan Beaton said. “Low income, irregular work, driving a cheap car which breaks down, no family or financial back-up and debt traps such as After Pay to meet the high cost of living and responsibilities as a young parent, is the cycle of disadvantage we often see in our homelessness services,“ Susan said. “To receive kindness from anonymous donors, when things are tough and you are trying so hard, has been a huge pick-me-up ... it’s not about getting stuff but feeling someone care.“ According to Youturn many different religious faiths and church groups have quietly and selflessly given to people in need this Christmas either by giving to their charity or other local charities they work alongside in the community sector. Noosa Coastal Uniting Church have been giving to Youturn under the Adopt a Family appeal for over ten years and through good old-fashioned word of mouth their support has grown year on year, church member Ruth Wisehart said. “We chose to support Youturn (formely United Synergies) as the local youth charity that operates with no advertising budget but just quietly get things done,“ Ruth said. “Our congregations at Sunrise Beach and Tewantin got on board, we then had conversations with the groups who rent our facilities and they became donors too, so each year support has grown to help meet the need.“ Increased interest in Queensland, already a popular destination for interstate migration, has pushed housing prices up and created fierce rental competition in Noosa-Sunshine Coast’s tight market, which impacts everyone, Youturn General Manager for Homelessness, Darce Foley said.
Two little helpers, donating toys to those children less fortunate. “People migrating from NSW and Victoria are taking on higher debt to move into Queensland ... average incomes earners are forced to compete and pay more rent in a tight market, and low-income earners are being pushed into homelessness ... everyone’s doing it tough in some way,“ Darce said. Mortgage brokers for home loans and government Rent Connect schemes for rental tenants, stipulate only 30 per cent net weekly income (and no more) must be available to pay mortgage or rent costs to meet eligibility for support. On this basis if you earn $1000 weekly net income you can afford to pay $330 in rent, however most local retail and hospitality employees don’t earn this much income and Noosa house rentals are more likely $800 plus. Local business owners, from restaurateurs and tourist operators to retailers, have also experienced a drop in income with business closures and other Covid-19 impacts. Gift a dining or entertainment experience to families was used by Youturn in their 2020 Christmas Appeal to support both local businesses trying to rebuild and young families doing it tough, Youturn CEO, Andrew Anderson said. “Family beneficiaries were so grateful to the donors who gifted them an experience ... overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers and opportunity to spend quality family time, while we hope in a small way it helps stimulate the local economy,” Andrew said. Need across our community is expected to rise again in 2021 and Youturn in collaboration with Noosa Council, Unity Water, service clubs, church groups and sector partners will be rolling out additional supports in response. Free weekly breakfasts in Tewantin, tenants skills training, children’s surf-wellbeing pilot, community pantry and street library, affordable tiny homes and upgraded laundry-shower facilities, are just some Youturn projects in 2021. Throughout December and January, Youturn’s emergency relief (groceries, utilities and more) is available at Ernest Street Tewantin on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings by dropping in or phoning 5442 4277 for an appointment.

Island fire charges Four people have been charged with unlawfully lighting fires on K’Gari (Fraser Island) which resulted in an estimated 87,000 hectares of the Island being burnt. The charges follow a joint investigation involving Queensland Police and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS). It will be alleged on October 14, QPWS rangers on K’Gari were alerted to an illegal campfire within the Duling Camp Zone of Eastern Beach, north of Orange Creek. Rangers attended and located a campfire that was covered in sand though still radiating heat. Native vegetation in close proximity had caught alight and started a wildfire to the north west of the camp site. This wildfire subsequently took hold and over the following weeks burned extensive parts of the world heritage listed island. The fire required extensive firefighting efforts to bring under control. On December 21, detectives from Maryborough CIB charged four people in relation to lighting an unauthorised campfire which was not properly extinguished. A 24-year-old Warwick man has been charged with the unlawful lighting of a fire and leaving a fire unattended. A 21-year-old Rosenthal Heights man, a 24-year-old Rosenthal Heights man and a 23-year-old Massie man have been charged with one count each of the unlawful lighting of fires. They will appear in Hervey Bay Magistrates Court on January 21. A 17-year-old boy will be dealt with according to the provisions of the Youth Justice Act 1992.

Tewantin FOI open By Margaret Maccoll Noosa MP Sandy Bolton was excited to hear the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training had opened an expression of interest (EOI) process for the re-use of the former Tewantin TAFE site. She said all submissions were commercial in confidence but if possible she would look forward to seeing a shortlist of submissions in the new year. Ms Bolton said previous EOIs on the site at 24 Cooroy Noosa Road, Tewantin, had all been of a very high quality, all adhering to the need of the education space and she expected the same parties would re-apply and other join them. She said the site had lay dormant waiting for Council to make a decision and movement on it was delayed while the government was in caretaker mode during the State Election campaign period. Due to the work of Ms Bolton Council was provided with “first option“ to purchase the site. In July Noosa Council decided to stop negotiations to buy the former Tewantin TAFE site on 24 Cooroy Noosa Road from the State Government. Council cited the restrictions on the use of the property due to Native Title and environmental protections and the uncertainties caused by COVID19 as reasons for the decision not to proceed with the purchase. The Tewantin TAFE campus was constructed in 2004 by the Queensland Government, its state-of-the-art building winning a Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) award. It opened in 2006 with 716 students and shut in 2014 with 256 students, many studying off-campus. Since 2014 it has mostly sat idle and been subject to vandalism and building deterioration. A flora and fauna assessment of the site commissioned by Council identified suitable habitat for threatened species, including koala, glossy black cockatoo, vulnerable wallum

frogs and endangered swamp crayfish. Under the New Noosa Plan and State Koala Conservation Plan the site is identified as an area of biodiversity significance and a koala priority area, limiting future development to the existing cleared footprint of the former TAFE campus. In 2018 Council formally offered to purchase the site from the state for $1.7m with funds to be sourced from the Environment Levy and general cash reserves. The state disclosed that Native Title still applied to the site requiring the state to enter into an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the traditional owners, the Kabi Kabi peo-
ple prior to the purchase proceeding. Council determined previously identified options for the site including aged care, Tewantin cemetery expansion, as a Council Depot or for Council administration would be unlikely to be feasible due to development constraints and environmental protections but there may be potential for commercial business use or opportunity for education providers. Anyone wanting to submit an EOI can register to receive site information or submit their proposal and supporting documents by emailing ISD.Corro@desbt.qld.gov.au. Submissions are due by 11.59pm on Sunday 31 January 2021.
Accommodation operators rush to replace Sydney folk Noosa’s accommodation operators have taken yet another blow as they quickly work to replace booking cancellations from locked-out Sydney visitors. Acting Tourism Minister Scott Stewart said Queensland had put in place a hard border excluding arrivals from Greater Sydney until at least 8 January 2021 following the growing number of COVID-19 community transmissions there. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said the Sydney market was a considerable component of Noosa’s visitation over the Christmas holiday period. “So it is disappointing for our industry that we are again having to react and respond to
COVID restrictions,” Ms Anderson said. “Noosa is very fortunate in that we were nearly fully booked for the holidays - and this still may be the case but it is too early to tell and we are all watching and waiting as to what happens with this current outbreak.” She said accommodation providers are reporting that Sydney cancellations are generally being filled quite quickly, so there is strong demand from other markets. “The real issue for accommodation is the time that it takes to reshuffle bookings and also take on new bookings,” Ms Anderson said. “There is a significant resources drain for operators when new restrictions come into play.” When it comes to refunds, accommoda-
tion providers all have their own individual cancellation policies and practices. “As Covid is something we are all learning to live with in the foreseeable future, the operators are using their best judgements and also prepared to offer alternative dates for those affected,” Ms Anderson said. South Pacific Resort Noosa owner Adam Smith said he had lost at least 15 bookings due to the border restrictions. “We’ll get some last minute bookings from Queenslanders to replace them but the rest will remain vacant,” he said. “It’s disappointing, but it is what it is. We’re a lot better off than some.” Acting Tourism Minister Scott Stewart said the border announcement provides certainty for Sydneysiders, the Illawarra and the NSW
Central Coast who had planned to travel to Queensland for the Christmas and New Year break. “We know many holidaymakers from Greater Sydney have booked a Queensland holiday with accommodation in some destinations now hard to find,” he said. “After our Good to Go tourism campaign, demand for a Queensland holiday has been strong this summer with many holidaymakers still looking for accommodation in their favourite destinations. Mr Stewart said Greater Sydney had traditionally accounted for approximately 10 per cent of summer holidaymakers in Queensland. The Queensland border remains open to regional NSW and other states.

Business survives 2020 By Margaret Maccoll Much of the Noosa economy was hit hard by COVID19. Noosa Chamber of Commerce president Rob Neely spoke with Noosa Today about the impact of the pandemic, the community response and the issues moving forward. What was the initial impact of COVID19 on the business sector? Noosa businesses are not like any other businesses around Australia. When COVID hit there was an immediate downturn in tourism. Accommodation and retail industries were hit hard and quickly there was a realisation staff would not be paid. That led to a scramble of grants. What we found was that Noosa had a twospeed economy. Accommodation and retail was hurting very badly. They couldn’t get tourists in and there was no trade. Hastings Street was virtually closed. At the same time industries in Rene Street were flat out. What initiatives were put in place to assist businesses? Around April-May Noosa Chamber of Commerce became very concerned about their business members. They made use of the services of an intern from Southern Cross University who over 70 hours of unpaid work phoned every chamber member to find out how they were feeling and how the chamber could help them.We found businesses in the retail section were under stress, both rental and personal stress. Many of the businesses suggested they wouldn’t make it through the year. Everyone was so pleased we were reaching out. Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Noosa Council started working very closely together. There were roundtable meetings weekly.
Noosa Chamber of Commerce president Rob Neely Noosa struggled more than other regional towns with 50 per cent of turnover taken away. It led to uncomfortable discussions with landlords. Survey results that came out in November on local businesses showed about 68 per cent of businesses were still in some type of distress, some in rent distress. Some have had to change the way they do business. In the dark period when there were no tourists they had to pivot, to change the way they do business. For example, some found in the school holidays where people previously booked five nights accommodation people were only booking two nights. They were making some money but it meant they had to do cleaning more often so they were not making as much money.
There were 310 businesses that accessed a $10,000 grant from the Queensland Government. It helped them get through.The Council and MP Sandy Bolton did everything they could. What have been the positives from the pandemic? Everyone pulled together. We now work more closely with Tourism Noosa than in the past. What we have is an open dialogue. We’re working as one. It’s what has come out of a horrible situation. This spirit of cooperation we’ve never known before. It’s absolutely fantastic. Everyone’s on speed dial with each other. We’re working with other business associations. We’ve seen Cooroy Chamber of Commerce become more active. There’s a new Chamber
of Commerce at Pomona. How are businesses placed moving forward? Since March businesses have been concerned about their staff having an income. They did Jobkeeper, Jobseeker. But a lot of people moved away. Some businesses are struggling to get employees. The other problem is if they come back they can’t find available or affordable housing. Some rents have increased considerably so they can’t afford them. That’s concerning. Council want to assign land and get houses built. What we can do immediately is obtain the ability to provide dual occupancy in houses. The Noosa Plan doesn’t allow for it. You can’t have a second kitchen. If we wanted to do something quickly we could make a change to the Noosa Plan to allow dual occupancy. Not for short-term lettings. That’s the quickest way around it.

Tourism resilience shines By Margaret Maccoll Tourism is one of Noosa’s major industries and one of the hardest hit by the COVID 19 pandemic. As the year comes to a close Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson tells Noosa Today how the pandemic impacted the industry, how it fought back and the lessons learnt from the challenges that presented. What was the initial impact of COVID-19 on tourism in Noosa? In Queensland, the borders closed on 3 April and non-essential travel was banned. This in effect closed down our whole tourism industry, from restaurants, cafes, tour operators to accommodation operators, the whole industry shut down, with employees being stood down and our industry facing uncertainty. The impact felt through the June quarter (three months only), compared with the same period in 2019 saw significant changes for Noosa; Domestic overnight visitors down 65.4%, interstate visitation down 97%, intrastate visitation down 44.2%) and day trip visitors down 53.4%. (National Visitor Survey stats). While the impact of COVID-19 restrictions were felt across the tourism industry globally, Noosa’s decreases were not as significant as regional, state and national impacts. Domestic overnight spend and visitation decreased less during the year in Noosa than on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland and in Australia. What initiatives did Tourism Noosa put in place to rebuild the industry? In order to best serve our membership in early March as an organisation we turned our focus from marketing the destination, to providing support for our members. Sharing information was critical. We provided dedicated team members to be a key point of contact across sectors from Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Services & Retail, Events, Wellness, Adventure & Tours and International.
Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson We created a dedicated online resource for members and businesses of Noosa with up-todate information, links, business relief, grant funding opportunities, tips for the tourism industry, frequently asked questions and other information relating to COVID-19. Acknowledging the financial hardship
that many businesses were going through, we waived the base membership fee for the 2020/2021 financial year not only for our 600 plus members, but opened it up to all businesses in the Noosa region. To date we have over 900 members. We also undertook the most comprehen-
sive engagement consultation process with our members, industry, business associations and key stakeholders to help define our Destination Noosa Strategy 2020-2022 to help rebuild our industry. When intrastate travel options opening up, we commenced marketing to intrastate markets and launched our Enter the Biosphere campaign on the Today Show giving the whole of Australia plenty to dream about with Noosa featured across three days. The campaign was designed with the agility to market to destinations open to our region - from Cairns, Adelaide, Canberra and finally to NSW and Victoria. How has the industry recovered since the first impact in March? Noosa operators are resilient and in the early months, we saw many businesses changing the way they do business or taking the opportunity while they were closed to upgrade and refresh their properties. Noosa is a highly desirable destination for domestic travellers and since borders have opened up, the demand for visiting Noosa has been very strong. What lessons has the industry learnt from the pandemic? The challenges of 2020 have shown our industry (and many others) how important it is to have a business plan in place that can provide agility in business operations. It has also brought out some wonderful creative thinking as businesses have found new ways to continue to trade, develop and change their business. Another important takeaway for businesses is that there is an incredible network of support, within Noosa and within the industry around the State, for example through bodies such as Chambers of Commerce and the Queensland Tourism Industry Council.

Citizen of the Year 2020 Send your nomination to newsdesk@NoosaToday.com.au
Final nominations shine By Phil Jarratt Two great nominations from readers finish our Noosa Today Citizen of the Year campaign. Susie’s pick: Lorraine Kenway Noosa Heads reader and the gossip queen formerly known as Cassandra, Susie Osmaston nominated Classy Lady proprietor Lorraine Kenway for her services to Christmas, especially in this difficult year. As Margaret Maccoll noted in these pages a few weeks ago: “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.” Susie O writes: “Lorraine founded Santa’s Classy Helpers over a decade ago to help disadvantaged families to enjoy the festive season. Backed by a group of right-hand women and a very supportive Noosa community, Lorraine has changed the Christmas fortunes of several thousand families, amassing huge supplies of essential household goods, as well as soughtafter toys and clothing for their children. “Lorraine works tirelessly throughout each year, inspiring local residents and community groups to help her swell the coffers. By early December a shop-style display of goods is staged at The J so that families recommended by local charities may choose what they need. Lorraine Kenway supervises all this, while running her dress shop. She is a selfless heroine
Marc Bright (left) with his All Abilities group. and an exceptional Good Samaritan.” Ron’s pick: Marc Bright Cooroy reader and avid golfer Ron Blount phoned in to nominate former professional golfer Marc Bright for his services to the disabled. “I don’t know the bloke well, but I admire him enormously for the wonderful way he treats disabled people with such dignity and respect,” he said. Our golf expert and Pin High columnist Peter Owen concurs, writing recently: “Marc Bright describes himself as a ‘joyologist’ and, yes, it’s a real word. It means a person whose main purpose is to bring joy to others. And Marc has brought loads of joy to hundreds of disabled Sunshine Coast people through the game of golf.
Susie Osmaston. “Marc has made it his life’s work to introduce disabled men and women to golf, in the sure knowledge it will improve their confidence, give them purpose, and allow them to have fun. He gained the support of Cooroy Golf Club, where he is a member, and his band of ‘All Abilities golfers’ now meets there every Monday to practice their game. “They learn the basics of golf, the rules and etiquette of the game and, because Marc’s interests are wide and varied, other things like indigenous culture, the plant and wildlife that abounds on the golf course, and how better to interact socially. Cooroy members have taken the All Abilities players to heart, often joining in to provide instruction, and caddying for the group when they play a few holes.”
Lorraine Kenway. Winners of the Noosa Today Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year will be announced next week.

Noosa Temple of Satan’s mass went ahead with no protests and only a small group of dissenters.
Locals were encouraged to holiday at home with plenty on offer in Noosa including camel rides on North Shore.
Lead scientist Javier Leon and his USC research team recently published findings that we can expect fewer cyclones but of greater intensity, and they will form in progressively more southerly waters. The ground-breaking research will help predict and prepare for cyclone events with greater knowledge of their patterns and coastal impacts.
With songs and placards the Kin Kin community made their message heard outside Noosa Council chambers that they want the gravel-laden trucks travelling to and from Kin Kin quarry along their narrow, winding roads to stop.
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. 12 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 1 January, 2021
A weekend of heavy rain, gale force winds, abnormally high tides and hazardous surf had surfers heading for the national park, the SES fielding calls, turtle carers relocating nests and holiday makers hitting the shops and jumping through puddles on Gympie Terrace.
COVID19 had Santa keeping his distance at Eumundi and kids wondering what had changed.
Maybe it was the Sunday trips to the beach as a boy or the gun-toting lifesavers that led to a career around water for 89-year-old Lloyd Cairns whose connection with the region tells much about the changing face of Noosa.
In a Paddle for Peace the Women who Surf paddled out to First Point at Main Beach to form a circle in a symbolic gesture of support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Show John a little compassion
Going global A young Sunrise Beach couple’s apparel brand has gone global, giving a voice to First Nation Australians through fashion. Proud Wiradjuri man living on Gubbi Gubbi country, Benjamin Thomson, launched the Take Pride Movement with his partner Tamika Sadler on Survival Day in 2019. The entrepreneurs are fast becoming a well-known catalyst for change in the community, after organising a local Black Lives Matter protest in June this year, aiming to close the gap between First Nation Australians and non-Indigenous Australians.
He went to Sydney to get specialist treatment for a cancer but has since been told its terminal. John Bowie wants to spend his final days at home - but the Queensland government has knocked back his request to be exempt from hotel quarantine. Dressed in yellow, just like the bike he rode frequently along Noosa Parade to the beach, 50 of his friends gathered together at Main Beach to protest the lack of compassion. Read Phil Jarratt’s full story on Page 3.

Parks pay back By Phil Jarrat A new study reveals that the value of a walk in the Noosa National Park is about the equivalent of two cups of coffee ... and much more about the astounding return on investment in our parks. If Professor Richard Brown looks a little distracted as he walks briskly through Noosa National Park on his way to join the Noosa Turtles’ early morning swim at Main Beach, it’s because he’s counting heads. “Even at seven in the morning I’ll count more than 100 most days,” says the Brisbane and Sunshine Beach academic, “which helps me get a feel for the overall numbers of park users in the absence of an official counter.” This is a personal bugbear of the associate professor of economics at the University of
Queensland, who, along with colleagues and co-authors Dr Sally Driml and Claudia Moreno Silva, has spent much of the past three years working on a groundbreaking study of the value of national parks to the Queensland economy. “It would be so helpful if the parks had counters,” he says. The resulting 60-page report, published this month, estimates that Queensland’s 500 parks contribute $2.64 billion in spending per
year and add $1.98 billion - almost 10 percent to the state’s gross tourism product. Measured against the costs of tourism management of the parks, this represents a remarkable $6.30 return on investment for every dollar spent. Noosa National Park was one of four representative sites used for the survey, conducted during 2018, with a third of the visitor interviews being conducted here. Other regions were Carnarvon, North Queensland rainforest and Outback. Although the study, funded by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science, looks at the state overall, Noosaspecific results include an average spend for overnight domestic visitors of $170 (per day per person), and while Noosa had the shortest stays (in terms of hours/minutes spent inside the park per visit) of the four regions surveyed, Queensland’s most popular National Park also
had the highest number of visitors per group. For the purposes of the study, Noosa was classified as “urban”, and according to Pro fessor Brown, this made the visitor spend extremely difficult to “disentangle”. He says: “The main issue of studies like this is that the figures have to be robust. Too many previous studies, including a major one on the Great Barrier Reef, simply counted the expenditur of every visitor along that coast, regardless of their reasons for being there, which might be completely unrelated. In our study we wer very careful to design a methodology that was acceptable to the Queensland Treasury and was specific about why you came to Noosa and would you have come if there was no park, or no access to it? So I can say with confidence that our numbers stack up.” Continued page 5

Survival stance By Phil Jarratt While many of Australia’s leading universities are in grave financial strife as Covid-19 tears apart the international student market, the man responsible for making University of Sunshine Coast a significant player in what is now Australia’s third biggest export industry, says that an overdue trimming of the fat from administrative ranks as part of an early and fast response to the pandemic, is helping save USC. Professor Robert Elliot, who joined USC as foundation Dean of Arts when the university college began with a few hundred students a quarter of a century ago, retired last month as its longest serving senior executive. In an exclusive, wide-ranging and forthright interview with Noosa Today, Professor Elliot reflected on
his role in securing USC a piece of the pie during the rise of Australia’s now-endangered $30 billion international education industry over the past two decades, and his more recent role as acting Vice Chancellor during the Covid crisis in helping secure the university’s future. Somewhat surprisingly, Professor Elliot supports the Federal Government’s exemption of the university sector from JobKeeper support. “In my view USC was top-heavy, with too high a proportion of administrative staff relative to academic. Covid forced us to address these problems, and I’m sure that would be the case for other Australian universities. I think that for many there was a lot of fat in the system, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable of the Commonwealth to be asking the sector to be finding savings on their own behalf. USC has gone through the process of voluntary redun-
dancies and some forced ones, and that will probably continue.” In March this year, in addition to his role as Pro Vice-Chancellor International, Professor Elliot was asked to step in as acting ViceChancellor following the retirement of Professor Greg Hill, just as the grim realities of the coronavirus hit home. He says: “In second semester this year we recruited zero students from offshore. In a normal year we would have recruited around 700 commencing students from offshore, and each of those would have been paying between $10,000 and $15,000 for that one-semester experience, depending on what they were studying.” Faced with an immediate deficit of $7 million to $10 million, Professor Elliot and USC chief financial officer Elizabeth Cannon set up a pandemic response group to first deal with
the lockdown issues, then address the finan cial impact. Within six weeks they had imple mented a package of cost-cutting measur and budget targets designed to ensure USC’ survival. Early in his distinguished career, Robert E liot wrote a fascinating thesis and then a book called Faking Nature, which explored the eth ics of ecological restoration, often a leave pass for companies to destroy a natural environ ment. Now, as he heads into retirement, he says he plans to do some of his own faking of nature, revegetating a hinterland acreage. But he’ll still be at USC at least one day a week, helping guide the international program he created through its post-Covid recovery.

Rescue work never done
By Phil Jarratt An ambitious Indigenous tourism initiative may help to see the resettlement in Noosa of Kabi Kabi families whose descendants were forcibly removed from their traditional country more than a century ago. Already several young Kabi people from the Cherbourg Aboriginal Community, two hours west of Noosa, are living in the shire during the week while completing land management traineeships working with Noosa and District Landcare at Pomona. And while the community groups working on the resettlement concept are reluctant to discuss details at this very early stage, Noosa Today understands that the Landcare traineeships are regarded as a pilot program for what might develop. In an exclusive interview with Noosa Today this week, Noosa Shire Council CEO Brett de Chastel said: “We’ve been in conversations with the Kabi Kabi about the Yurol/Ringtail Creek area and how guided tours might evolve there. There’s a large cohort of Kabi that live at Cherbourg who are from country and want to return (to Noosa), and while there would be many avenues of employment for them, educational tourism is certainly a big one. One of the major growth areas of tourism is experience travel, and the more local and authentic it is, the more people love it. The Indigenous stories that can be tapped into locally are wonderful and we believe there are unbounded opportunities.” Tourism Noosa’s Indigenous Tourism manager Juanita Terry Bloomfield said that, funding permitting, she was looking at a five-year plan to upskill and employ as many as 15 Kabi cultural tour guides who would work in different parts of the extensive Noosa Trail Network as well as the Noosa Headland walk. “Obviously, there are a lot of variables to consider at the moment, but I think that is a realistic time frame,” she said. “There is certainly the will to make it happen. As far as resettlement of families is concerned, that would be something for careful consideration by the Kabi community, but providing local share accommodation for individual tourism workers makes a lot of practical sense.” Although the stakeholder groups recently missed out on a substantial government Indigenous tourism grant to establish the Headland walks program, Ms Terry Bloomfield and Kabi spokesperson Brian Warner were deep in talks with Noosa Council representatives last week

Illness and injury lead pelicans and seabirds on a steady path to the Twinnies, who never say no to helping those in need. Bridgette and Paula Powers are quick to respond to a call to help pelicans and seabirds in distress from Noosa and Gympie to Brisbane and no matter how challenging the rescue of a sick or injured bird they “never give up”. But as the costs mount up Covid-19 has halted the stream of visitors to their rescue centre and reduced their donations. Since March it’s only been the twins, their mother Helen and friend, Ken, to manage a full house of birds of all shapes and sizes. Can you help the Twinnies continue their work? Read their story on page 6.

The Indigenous stories that can be tapped into locally are wonderful and we believe there are unbounded opportunities.” about furthering the scheme. But all involved have emphasised that the sensitivity surrounding the idea of resettlement means that progress will be slow and careful. They also stressed to Noosa Today that the Indigenous tourism initiatives and the idea of resettlement were in no way interdependent. To understand why return to country is such a sensitive and emotive issue, you only
have to look at history. In the late 1890s there were thought to be several hundred Kabi Kabi living in the area that would become Noosa Shire, far outnumbering the European population, but a decade later there were none, due to the passing of the Queensland Aboriginals Protection Act of 1897. This disgraceful legislation was the handiwork of one Archibald Meston, who had been
appointed “Southern Protector of Aborigines while still running a “Wild Australia” touring show that blatantly exploited them. Meston recommended that First Nations people be segregated from the European population to protect them from alcohol and opium and giv them “instruction in industrial habits”. Continued page 7

The ability of property owners to use their properties for short term accommodation divided the community during public forums held to discuss the new Noosa Plan and divided the Council when the Noosa Plan was adopted by a majority at a special meeting last week. During the meeting Cr Amelia Lorentson relayed the astounding fact that Council had received only 32 formal complaints from 2014 to 2020 relating to short-term letting. In comparison Council received 356 dog complaints in the 2019-2020 year. Council later confirmed the figures but noted it did not reflect phone complaints received by officers that were not logged nor the submissions received during planning consultation that were both for and against the use
of houses for short-term accommodation. Council’s Environment and Sustainable Development director Kim Rawlings said new planning regulations were not introduced purely as a result of complaints. “Short term accommodation is a land use and a planning scheme is required to regulate all land uses,” she said. “In determining how to regulate such a land use a range of issues are considered, such as appropriate location, the consistency of that land use within each zone, residential amenity and likelihood of impacts on adjacent or surrounding land uses, community feedback etc.” Mayor Clare Stewart said the 2020 Noosa Plan had many good attributes but she would not support the plan that made short-termaccommodation an inconsistent use in Noosa’s designated low-density housing zone. “It has the potential to impact house prices. It will
drive up the prices in high and medium density housing zones,” she said. She said no impact assessment data had been taken and this was a significant issue with state government. Cr Stewart said many essential workers lived in medium and high density housing zones who would be affected by increased housing prices and subsequent increases in rentals. “Affordable housing is an issue for us all,” she said. A condition of approving the Noosa Plan by the Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning required Council to monitor the outcomes relating to short-term accommodation, tourism and housing supply across the residential zones for the next two years. The monitoring needs to include comparison data to demonstrate the
relevance of the scheme, the economic and social benefits across the residential zones housing supply, diversity and tourism. Cr Stewart said Council needed to amend the plan now not in two years. Council heard there were 6000 properties listed for use for short-term accommodation and 50 per cent of properties have been or could be used for STA. “The purpose of the planning scheme was to manage and guide land use. It is not the purpose to consider individual investment. A planning scheme can influence a market,” a council officer told the meeting. Cr Amelia Lorentson said Noosa needed a planning scheme built on fairness and eq uity that would allow all properties the abil ity to be used for STA not just a select few Continued page 3 12452556-SG26-20

A little piece of reflection NEWSMAKERS OF 2020 RUBY TURNS HER PASSION INTO A GLOBAL BRAND After overcoming obstacles including an overseas move, domestic violence, and suc- cessfully raising two young children, a Noo- sa woman has turned her passion project into a global brand. Ruby Sillato moved to Noosa when she was six months pregnant with her first child, choosing a quiet and tranquil place to raise kids. After running her own Italian restaurant in Noosa, she stumbled into live cooking shows as a creative outlet in a definitive transitional moment in her life. Now she is using her social media platforms with over 80,000 followers, to not only show her love for authentic Italian cooking, but also advocate against domes- tic violence and online bullying. SCHOOL ROCKS WITH KATIE Although Eumundi’s School of Rock students aren’t being taught by actor Jack Black, fivetime Aria award winning singer Katie Noonan takes the same approach to letting their souls shine through music. Katie founded the school five years ago with the aim to provide free quality music education for young people in the area. The students are usually taught by an array of talented Sunshine Coast musicians, but since Covid-19 put a halt to Katie’s tour plans, she has been able to teach the kids first hand. “It’s been amazing and particularly beautiful to watch children go through such significant a stage of their life,” she said. INDIGENOUS ENTREPRENEURS BRAND GOES GLOBAL A young Sunrise Beach couple’s apparel brand has gone global, giving a voice to First Nation
Schoolies turned ugly on the last night.
Katie Noonan teaches School of Rock after Covid-19 cancels her tour. Australians through fashion. Proud Wiradjuri man living on Gubbi Gubbi country, Benjamin Thomson, launched the Take Pride Movement with his partner Tamika Sadler on Survival Day in 2019. The entrepreneurs are fast becoming a well-known catalyst for change in the community, after organising a local Black Lives Matter protest in June this year, aiming to close the gap between First Nation Australians and nonIndigenous Australians. Benjamin, who designs all the apparel by hand, said he wanted people to come together and celebrate the culture. NOOSA SURVIVES SCHOOLIES The week-long Schoolies celebration turned
ugly on its final night 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.
Noel Pearson at home. Picture: ROB MACCOLL NOEL PEARSON REFLECTS ON A LIFE FULL OF CHALLENGE, OPPORTUNITY AND CONTINUED HOPE Lawyer, academic, historian, land rights activist, advocate for social reform, provocateur ... Noel Pearson, now 55, has worn many hats over his illustrious and frequently controversial career. Perhaps the one that fits him best now is philosopher, and he can be seen wearing it as he walks or kayaks along the Noosa River, not far from his home outside Tewantin, lost in his many thoughts. Pearson keeps a low profile in his adopted community, preferring the anonymity of his family’s neighbourhood bubble after more than 30 years as an often-divisive figure at the forefront of Indigenous reforms.

Following big dreams NEWSMAKERS OF 2020 FINN MAKES A BIG MOVE TO FOLLOW HIS DREAMS A fortuitous meeting in his hometown of Noosa set the wheels in motion for a local teen to make the move to Melbourne and pursue a career in sports media. As an AFL fan growing up in Queensland, Finn Blake realised Victoria was the place to be. “I spent my weekends during high school working at Betty’s Burgers on Hastings Street,“ Finn said. “As an avid Collingwood fan in a rugby-centric state, I would always look forward to holiday times when I could discuss footy with the tourists from Melbourne. “One day a gentleman wearing a Carlton cap walked past the restaurant and piqued my interest. I caught his attention and we began discussing our hatred for each other’s football teams. He wanted to help me out, as I’d mentioned to him that my dream was to work in the AFL media industry. He kindly passed on a contact at a company in Melbourne, which resulted in a meeting just a month later, while I was halfway through Year 12.“ Fast forward six months to January, and Finn had enrolled in tertiary study in Queensland. However, the same contact from Melbourne was on holidays in Noosa at that time. “He invited me to breakfast with his family and offered me an opportunity to work at his company,“ Finn said. “Two weeks later, I had my bags packed and was on a plane to Melbourne, ready to work at McGuire Media.“ PEREGIAN DOCTOR NAMED GP OF THE YEAR After 10 years of servicing the community, a Peregian Springs doctor has been named GP of the Year at the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Queensland faculty awards.
Finn Blake makes a big move for a career in sports media.
Pleasant State founders Sian Murray and Ami Bateman reached their crowdfunding goal.
Dr Emily Gordon of Peregian Springs Doctors said she was was humbled to discover she had received the award. “I don’t think I’m better than any other GP on the coast. I just happened to have some proactive patients that decided to nominate me and fill in all the paper work,” Dr Gordon said. “I feel a little bit overwhelmed and certainly grateful for the acknowledgement but I don’t think I do anything different to the many GPs out there that love what they do and look after people every day. “I want to thank the community and the team here as this is not about me. I can’t do anything without the lovely reception staff, the nursing staff and the other GPs here. The practice here is a joy to work at every day.” PEREGIAN COMMUNITY MARKS A YEAR SINCE FIRES Two events held at Peregian Beach raised more than $32,000 for the Rural Fire Service and brought the community together to mark one year since the Peregian fires began in bushland
on the afternoon of Monday 9 September, 2019 and caused the evacuation of the region. The Family Fun Day was organised by Peregian Family & Friends resident’s association, Peregian Surf Life Saving and the Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade, which was granted permission to attend despite a state-wide ban on community engagement due to the COVID situation in Brisbane. “The Family Fun Day was the first time an event had been held in the popular Peregian Park since March, when COVID forced the halt of regular fortnightly markets, Peregian Nippers fundraising BBQs and monthly Peregian Originals music festivals,” event organiser Leigh McCready said. LAURIE CONTINUES TO INSPIRE WOMEN IN SCIENCE A retired Noosaville banker-turned-philanthropist donated a six-figure endowment to extend her annual USC scholarship that encourages regional and rural women to study science, technology, engineering and math-
ematics (STEM) degrees. Laurie Cowled is also donating the proceeds of a new biography on her extraordinary life to the USC Laurie Cowled Regional Scholarship, which provides a high-achieving regional student in financial need with $5,000 each year for a three or four-year degree. “I turned 91 the other day and this makes me feel astonishingly young and vibrant,” Ms Cowled said, who grew up on a farm outside Bethungra in New South Wales and first moved to the Sunshine Coast with her husband in 1984. “I get such a kick out of meeting and supporting these wonderful young women. They’re so enthusiastic and skilled in areas once thought to be male provinces. They make me feel that Australia has a great future.” FEMALE LED START-UP FIGHTING SINGLEUSE PLASTICS A Noosa start-up on a mission to eradicate the 23 million plastic cleaning products that enter our ocean every year reached its crowdfunding target in under six weeks. Having raised $55,000 to allow them to get Pleasant State off the ground, founders Sian Murray and Ami Bateman can now put their bespoke glass and silicone bottles into production alongside product, so they can be in homes by December this year. Pleasant State is Australia’s first-ever cleaning product in a ‘just add water’ format. Sian said their team was overwhelmed by the support from over 900 Australian’s for their crowdfunding campaign. “It has confirmed that Australian’s are seeking effective, non-toxic and single-use plastic free cleaning solutions, and that our customers are demanding more from the brands that they buy from,“ she said. “We’re super motivated to keep progressing now.“

FRIDAY
WIN, 7.30pm
NIGELLA’S COOK, EAT, REPEAT ABC TV, 7.30pm
What better year for the queen of comfort food to launch a new TV series than 2020, a year which many of us have survived with a wholehearted commitment to eating our feelings. Nigella definitely knows how to indulge, that food is far more than just fuel and how to bring good hearty food to every home cook’s weekly repertoire. This new series, premiering tonight, sees Nigella reveal the vintage cookbooks and social media posts that have served as inspiration for her recipes.
TUESDAY
TRAVEL MAN’S GREATEST TRIPS SBS, 9.30pm
In his nine seasons as the Travel Man, Richard Ayoade (above) has been on more than 40 mini-breaks, travelling to cities near and far with celebrity companions for a 48-hour stay. Before Ayoade hands the reins over to incoming host Joe Lycett for season 10, the enigmatic presenter looks back at some of his greatest trips, as well as those he would rather have avoided. From a miniature hot rod adventure in Vienna with Ayoade’s The IT Crowd co-star Chris O’Dowd to scaling the Burj Khalifa with comedian Johnny Vegas in Dubai and rafting in Florence with Rebel Wilson, it’s a reminder of how much fun international travel can be.
SATURDAY
DOCTOR WHO ABC TV PLUS, 7.30pm
There are certain things that are just a given at this time of the year: chocolate indulging followed closely by reviewed resolutions, long lazy afternoons, mozzie bites and the Doctor Who festive special. This year, the dreaded Daleks return and wreak havoc while The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) remains locked away in a high-security alien prison, leaving Yaz (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) to save the day. Captain Jack (John Barrowman) is on hand to assist, but it soon becomes one of the most frightening challenges the gang have faced. Sex and the City’s Chris Noth also appears as the disgraced Jack Robertson.
In case you missed one of last year’s catchiest ad campaigns, Dr Chris Brown, Julia Morris (below) and their cast of celebrities are staying home this year. Unable to film in South Africa’s Kruger National Park due to the pandemic, production is instead heading to the camp in rural New South Wales where international versions of the show are recorded. While the celebrities involved have saved themselves a 13-hour flight and a few travel immunisations, they’re not the only ones who still call Australia home – redback spiders, bull sharks, cane toads and 21 out of the world’s 25 most dangerous snakes are just some of the locals set to join them in the series’ trademark tucker trials.

PHIL JARRATT concludes his search for Cherbourg’s lost history...
King Brown descendant Norman Bond.
Picture: ROB MACCOLL
A sense of belonging At the very end of James Muller’s poignant 2019 documentary, Place of Crowes, Kabi Kabi man and Crowe descendant Brian Warner, standing on country at the edge of Lake Cootharaba, looks directly at the camera and says: “When you’ve got identity, you feel stronger.” He pauses, brushing away a tear, and continues with his voice cracking: “You have that sense of belonging.” It’s a heartbreaking moment because anyone who has studied Indigenous history knows that without doubt we European Queenslanders stole not only the lands of the First Nations but the identity that went with it. We stole their sense of belonging, and nowhere is that better exemplified than in the lost history of Barambah Aboriginal Settlement, now Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire, the third biggest Aboriginal community in Australia. Muller’s important film, funded by Noosa Shire Council, managed by Noosa Heritage Co-ordinator Jane Harding and researched by Crowe descendant Troy Georgetown, was the first real attempt to track the descendants of our Aboriginal pioneers, who were first humiliated and degraded by the white settlers of Noosa Shire from the 1880s and then were forcibly removed to Barambah in the first decade of the 20th century. It’s a dreadful history, and it says much about the moral values and courage of the 2016-2020 Noosa Council that they were prepared to own it and fund this mea culpa. But it’s not enough. You only have to visit Cherbourg today and talk to people to learn that their stolen identity still creates a void that has impacted on the spiritual wellbeing of generations, and is still destroying lives today. All we can do is try to help the healing, and this was at the back of my mind when I recently travelled to Cherbourg, less than two hours from Noosa, for the first time in 30 years. I wanted to get a feeling for the kind of lives people lived there over the five or six generations 26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 1 January, 2021
Barambah schoolchildren, 1914. since the Kabi Kabi were expelled from their Noosa homelands, but perhaps more importantly, I wanted to try to connect the people of today with the faded old photographs we have of their ancestors, those confused, depressed and dispossessed people lined up for the camera with their insulting metal nameplates hung around their necks, sarcastically proclaiming them as kings and queens, concepts that were foreign to their culture. Every time I look at such photos, I wonder
Picture: STATE LIBRARY how they felt about such ignominious treatment. They’d ruled this land by their own terms for 60,000 years and didn’t need a nameplate to remind them, but I wonder if they were truly insulted or if they simply and typically raised an eyebrow at the bizarre and baffling ways of the white man. Photographer Rob Maccoll and I drove up to Cherbourg with Brian Warner, whose emotional closer in Place of Crowes made him a good place to start the conversation about identity.
His identity. “Well, it’s complicated,” he said, dissolving into a guffaw that shook the car. Indeed it is, but if you examine the early photos of the Tewantin Kabi Kabi elders, there seem to be three lines of family - those of King Tommy, King Brown and Willie Crowe (sometimes known as King Billy). But two of these “kings”, Tommy and Willie, were brothers and both seem to have been married at different times, or at least sired children to, the same woman, Emma Dun, often referred to as Dunne.

Barambah schoolchildren, 1914. Although the authorities of the time seem to have misread Tommy’s nameplate, “King Tommy Noosa” to arrive at the conclusion that his name was Thomas King, it was in fact Barlow Crowe, and his father was Jim Crow, who had been a member of the first Aboriginal cricket tour of England in 1868, although he had to return home ill midway through the arduous season. The name being an adaptation of an American racial slur, there were plenty of Jim Crows around in the late 19th century, but dates and locations seem to confirm that the cricketer was indeed father to Barlow and his younger brother Willie. Barlow worked as a timber-cutter in the Lake Cootharaba area, which was where he met Emma Dun, a housemaid at nearby Bundora Station, where she had taken on the name of the owners, Charles and Zorayda Dun, squatters from the Hunter Valley in NSW. According to historian Ray Kerkhove, whose work on the Kabi Kabi is the gold standard, this was common among Aboriginal household staff of the period, the name offering them some form of protection from the authorities. By the late 1880s, however, Emma had moved on to younger brother Willie, and begun a family with their first child, Willie Junior, who was Brian Warner’s great-grandfather. You have to be careful not to skip generations in charting these families, because it is the Aboriginal way to just regard everyone from two generations back as a grandfather, grandmother, aunty or uncle, and even bloodlines can be ignored in the case of close family friends. It is, as Warner says, complicated, but it seems like-

Picture: ROB MACCOLL
Picture: STATE LIBRARY ly that after evading the police around Tewantin for some time, Willie Junior and his wife were removed to Barambah where they raised six children, including Brian Warner’s grandfather. Willie the elder and Emma both died and were buried in Gympie around 1910. Says Brian Warner: “After it became Cherbourg and was a bit better organized, some of that generation managed to get exemption certificates so they could work outside the reserve. My mother was born at Cherbourg but during that time my grandfather won the Lotto and ended up buying a home out near Wondai. My grandmother and my aunties and my mum used to talk about those old times at that house, but when my grandfather died, they didn’t keep the house on, they just went back to Cherbourg. But that was the beginning of my family spreading out. I think they realized that there was more to life than just trying to survive.” Norman Bond, the chairman of the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation, is of similar age to his colleague Warner and can trace his family tree back just as far, and while his line is slightly less complex, the very long life of his great-grandmother gave him a living contact with the beginnings of Barambah Settlement. Elsie Williams was born on the Maroochy River in 1891, the daughter of Albert Williams of Tewantin and Mary Brown, whose father was King Brown, one of the elders of Noosa. In 1907 she was forcibly removed to Barambah as one of the early inmates, and later worked in the girls’ dormitory. Elsie married twice,

Screenshot courtesy Place of Crowes. the second time to Bob McGowan, and had 13 children, one of whom was Bessie, Norman’s grandmother, who married into the Bond family, another Cherbourg dynasty. Four generations of Elsie’s family still lived at the settlement when Norman was born in 1973. He says: “I’m fortunate and privileged to be able to trace my family like this because a lot of people can’t. And I got to know my greatgrandmother before she died here in Cherbourg in 1986 when she was 95. I was about 13 when she passed so I was fortunate enough to get that traditional knowledge and stories from her. She didn’t say a lot about the happenings of the early days, I think because she wanted to protect us from the negative stuff she witnessed. But I remember all the wise things she told me, they’ve stuck with me.” Now 47 and a grandfather, Norman Bond has given up his trade as a carpenter and his most recent job in the local justice group at Cherbourg to put all his eggs in the same basket as his friend Brian Warner. And their mission is to secure a future for all the young people in Cherbourg who are in destructive despair. There are many avenues to achieve this, including traineeships in tourism and land care on country in Noosa and other parts of the Sunshine Coast, but none are without their challenges. As of 2020, several young Kabi Kabi people from Cherbourg and the southern end of the Sunshine Coast were living in Noosa Shire during the week while completing land management traineeships working with Noosa and District Landcare at Pomona.

eeships are regarded as a pilot program for what might develop in the forestry management space. Interaction between the communities of Noosa and Cherbourg is not a new idea. Sporting ties were pioneered by Noosa Heads surf club, which organises surfing and swimming trips to the coast for disadvantaged kids, while on the political level, during the last Noosa Council, the mayors of the two shires formed closer ties and jointly presented a motion of support for the Uluru Statement From The Heart at the Local Government Association of Queensland annual conference in October 2019. It was overwhelmingly passed. Now, the scale of Noosa’s Indigenous tourism initiative takes the potential for closer ties, employment, and, eventually, for a return to country for those who desire it, to a new and historic level. Whatever form it takes, Noosa should welcome and embrace this coming home, this completion of the circle. Friday, 1 January, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 27

Class of 2020 claim ATAR By Abbey Cannan More than 49,600 teenage education “pioneers” have claimed another first, as the first graduates in a new Queensland Certificate of Education system with Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks (ATAR). Good Shepherd Lutheran College Noosa were excited to share the achievements of their 2020 graduates. Nineteen students (34 per cent) received an ATAR of 90 plus, with three students obtaining a 99 plus ATAR (which is in the top one per cent). Thirty eight students (68 per cent) received an ATAR of 80 plus. Across 41 students, they achieved 117 individual ‘A’ results in general subjects. This includes three students with six ‘A’ results and five students with five ‘A’ results. In an applied subject, 21 students received an ‘A’. “While these ATAR and subject results might be in a new form, they continue our history of graduating Year 12s achieving excellent
results,“ a Good Shepherd Lutheran College Noosa spokesperson said. “Along with students who are progressing into non-tertiary pathways based on qualifications commenced or completed in their senior years, these results are recognition of the ability and commitment of our graduating class, supported by college and family. “We look forward to hearing of the next steps of the Class of 2020.“ Education Minister Grace Grace congratulated the Class of 2020 on their efforts throughout an exceptional year, and throughout their “pioneering” school years as the state’s first full cohort of Prep students, and the first Year 7s to attend high schools. “And now, despite the disruptions to their schooling caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the great news is 89 per cent of these young people achieved a QCE,” she said. “Of those, 31,548 also achieved a vocational education and training qualification - making Queensland the leader in VET qualifications achieved at school. “As well 1193 completed a university subject.
“Of the total cohort, 26, 042 students also received an ATAR with 30 placed in the highest possible band of 99.95. “ QTAC chief executive officer Dr John Griffiths said it was wonderful to see Queensland students utilise the three different schemes on offer to achieve an ATAR. “This reinforces the important decision to include VET in the Queensland ATAR and is evidence of a well-rounded and inclusive education for students in Queensland,” he said. The 30 students receiving an ATAR of 99.95 did so with a combination of 16 different subjects including math methods, economics, physics, literature, modern history and engineering. Ms Grace said secondary schooling in Queensland continued to provide valued pathways for all students whether that was to university, TAFE or other training or paid work. “The Queensland Government has invested more than $130 million in the new QCE system to give students the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century,” she said. “Schools across Queensland introduced the
new syllabuses and assessment model with Year 11 students in 2019, and the success of the transition is a credit to the hard work and professionalism of principals and teachers.” Ms Grace said graduates who might not be satisfied with their results still had options. “There’s no need to be disheartened,” she said. “Anyone whose results aren’t what they hoped for can explore alternative ways to enter university and training courses.” Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) chief executive officer Chris Rider said Certificates of Academic Commendation would be sent to 983 graduates who received ‘A’ grades in at least six General subjects. “The commendation is the first category to be awarded in the annual Queensland Certificate of Education Achievement Awards,” Mr Rider said. “Winners in a further three categories, including Queensland’s highest achieving student, will be announced in February.”
Churches adapt to Covid changes for Christmas By Margaret Maccoll As Christian Churches across Noosa celebrated one of their most important events, the birth of Jesus Christ, last Friday clergy reflected on the changes to their services brought about by COVID19. Anglican Minister Chris Johnson and his wife, an Associate Minister Lynda Johnson arrived to take over the ministry in Noosa in July when all three churches, Sunshine Beach, Tewantin and Peregian Beach, under their appointment were in lockdown. Rev’d Chris said from the time they arrived they began online services which were “very well received“ and despite the isolation the couple have felt welcomed and are enjoying their time in Noosa. “We had 43 emails and texts from people welcoming us and enjoying the services online,“ he said. It was August before they were able to open the church for services in restricted numbers and begin getting the know their congregation face to face. “We did a survey before we came back to worship to ascertain peoples’ views,“ Rev’d Chris said. “We were surprised at how many people were tentative. They dribbled back when they became more confident. Many were aching to get back.“ COVID-restrictions meant church-goers had to book a seat prior to the service and there were limits on the numbers able to attend, with room for 130 at Tewantin, 93 at Sunshine Beach and 120 at Peregian Beach. Rev’d Chris said it wasn’t an issue at Peregian Beach where average attendance was about 50 but at Tewantin they had to push
Reverends Chris and Lynda Johnson people to the next Sunday. For Christmas the couple hosted eight services across the region to make sure there was enough space for all to attend. Fortunately the restrictions have not affected parishioners ability to sing. “If you can shout for Queensland at Suncorp you can sing to the Lord in the church,“ Rev’d Chris said.
It was a similar situation for Reverend Jason Middleton at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Church at Tewantin who described it as “certainly not normal“. COVID19 restrictions forced the closure of the church which moved to online services which are continuing as parishioners return to services in the church. “People are becoming more comfortable
coming back to church and we’ve provided them with a safe place to do it. It’s been a gradual increase,“ he said. Reverend Jason said live streaming has been a great move for them in enabling people who were elderly or had health conditions and may not be able to attend church to tune in to the service.

Andrew Brodie, CEO of Sunshine Coast Airport; Vynka Hutton, Trade Manager at Tourism Noosa; and Andrew Fairbairn, Industry and Membership Development Manager at Visit Sunshine Coast.
Qantas ups Coast flights Sunshine Coast Airport has welcomed a new Qantas service between Sunshine Coast and Melbourne which will operate daily. The QantasLink service, to be operated by a two-class 110 seat Boeing 717, will deliver more than 6500 seats a month in and out of the region. Sunshine Coast Airport Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Brodie, said that Qantas choosing to serve the popular Melbourne route is a testament to the demand for travel to the Sunshine Coast. “We warmly welcome the Flying Kangaroo livery serving the Sunshine Coast from Melbourne for the first time in more than three years,” Mr Brodie said. “This service will provide another direct flight for sun-seeking Victorians looking to explore our beautiful beaches, magnificent hinterland and relaxed coastal towns over the summer months,” Mr Brodie said. “And of course it offers Sunshine Coast locals the chance to reconnect with family and friends, enjoy the vibrant city of Melbourne or explore the historical towns and beautiful scenery of regional Victoria.” Mr Brodie said the introduction of the Qantas service offered passengers more choice and highlighted the increasing diversity of our market, with a rapidly growing business sector. “We’ve been proud to work with Qantas, the Queensland Government through its $15 million Aviation Recovery Fund and our tourism partners to add this important service to our schedule.” he said. “Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s largest regional economies, and this service positions the region for continued economic growth by serving the travel needs of our business community. Tourism Noosa Chief Executive, Melanie Anderson, said it was fantastic to welcome the return of the direct service with Qantas from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast. “Victoria is Noosa’s largest domestic market and is very important to our tourism industry and the destination’s economy. The news couldn’t have come at a better time to connect family and friends for Christmas and the holiday period’,” Ms Anderson said. “Melbourne and Noosa have had a long standing synergy, so I have no doubt this has been positive news for many, and we look forward to welcoming Qantas and our visitors back.” QantasLink CEO John Gissing said the resumption of services from Melbourne to Sunshine Coast was great news for visitors and the local economy. “We’re very happy to be doing our bit to help get tourism and local businesses in the region back on track. We know there’s huge demand for Victorians to head north and we’re delighted to have these services operating just in time for the summer holidays,” Mr Gissing said.
Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the Flying Kangaroo service was a boost for Sunshine Coast tourism. “Direct air services are tremendously important to tourism operators on the Sunshine Coast as the industry rebuilds after COVID-19,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “We know Victorians love a holiday in the Queensland sun. And, the return of this QantasLink lands Melbourne holidaymakers in one of Australia’s favourite destinations with a minimum of fuss. “This direct link from Tullamarine is made possible by the Palaszczuk Government’s $15 million Aviation Recovery Fund and delivers jobs for the Sunshine Coast’s economic recovery. “It’s an investment that supports 21 local jobs and more than $2.6 million in overnight visitor spending straight into the pockets of Sunshine Coast businesses.” Visit Sunshine Coast Industry and Membership Development Manager Andrew Fairbairn welcomed the return of the Melbourne to Sunshine Coast Qantas service. “What a fantastic opportunity for our local tourism sector, delivering high value visitors to our region just in time for the summer holiday period,” Mr Fairbairn said. “The Sunshine Coast has traditionally been a popular destination welcoming 415,000 Victorians to the region to the year ending March 2020. “COVID-19 has been tough on the region’s tourism industry and the addition of this service from our key market will be crucial to our recovery,” added Mr Fairbairn.

PHIL JARRATT uncovers an interesting connection between the champion of the White Shoe Brigade and Noosa’s conservationists
Joh’s soft spot for Noosa While the long reign of Joh Bjelke-Petersen over Queensland will always be remembered as the time of the White Shoe Brigade, when a develop-or-perish mentality overtook the Great South-East and turned Surfers Paradise into one endless skyscraper, it is a little known fact that Joh and Flo had a soft spot for Noosa and the Cooloola region and were on a firstnames basis with some of our leading conservationists. Long before Joh became premier, Noosa Parks Association was pioneered by rustedon Country Party men like Arthur Harrold, Jim Fearnley, Max Walker and Guy L’Estrange, and if these rather sedate sea and tree changers looked like a pushover to the development cronies, they hadn’t reckoned on the cunning and the connections that would become their trademark. They could open more doors in Premier Frank Nicklin’s ministry than the development lobby and the council put together. By the end of the 1960s, alongside the 300-strong Noosa Parks Association stood the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland, the National Parks Association of Queensland, the Australian Conservation Foundation and at least another dozen smaller conservation and community groups in a fierce battle to save the Cooloola Wilderness from sand-mining and development. The NPA teamed with Caloundra resident Kathleen McArthur of the Wildlife Preservation Society on a huge “Postcards to the Premier” campaign that resulted in more than 150,000 cards reaching the desk of the new Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen, an achievement Arthur Harrold called “a masterstroke”. It could have also created a permanent rupture in relations with the new Premier, except that the NPA men had become friends with Joh. In 1970, NPA helped establish a Brisbanebased sister organisation called the Cooloola Committee, and also formed an alliance with the Fraser Island Defenders Organisation. Together they put together a petition of 24,000 names in support of a Cooloola National Park, most of them drawn from marginal seats, and provoked a backbench revolt that threatened Joh’s premiership. Again, this might have scuttled the relationship, but Joh reversed his promining stance and supported protection of the dunes. Unlike most who had forced Joh into a corner, the NPA men remained friendly with the premier and he with them, and he soon claimed the park as his own idea. After the park declaration in 1975, the premier and his secretary, Beryl, took the government jet to Rainbow Beach on a few occasions, and, according to the ranger who accompanied them, Bjelke-Petersen actually wept at the beauty of the dunescape he had saved. And his government, for the most part, remained supportive of environmental outcomes in Noosa. But not always. In 1964 two separate proposals had been put to Noosa Shire Council seeking approval for residential development on Hay’s Island, adjacent to Hastings Street. Both were rejected, but by 1969, the council took a different view and approved a proposal from a company called Noosa Island Estates, which was soon revealed to be a front for Australia’s biggest land developer and financier, Cambridge Credit. The proposed development, to be known as Noosa Sound, was massive. It involved clearing the mangroves, dredging sand from the river to raise the land level by a metre, and the building of three bridges. It was expected to take five years to complete, with blocks of land then being offered for up to $10,000. The tender was officially accepted in September 1970 by the hard-drinking Minister for Lands, Vic Sullivan - later to be fired from the ministry for turning a ministerial visit to Torres Strait Aboriginal communities into a boozy fishing trip - who tossed a few down at the official announcement at Brisbane’s Park Royal Motor Inn and declared loftily: “Most of the area ... is an unsightly combination of mangrove swamps, mud flats and sandbanks ... the main breeding grounds for mosquitos and sandflies.” The first stage of the $3 million, 300-homesite canal development of Noosa Sound was opened by Premier Bjelke-Petersen in Decem30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 1 January, 2021
Joh and Flo at the House of Bottles, Tewantin, 1972. ber 1973, with waterfront lots offered from $12,000. Speaking to a large gathering of dignitaries and salivating real estate agents, the premier continued the theme that “a former pest-infested area” had been transformed into “beautiful housing estate”. A month later Cyclone Wanda ripped down the coast and devastated Main Beach and The Woods camping area, and flooded parts of Noosaville and Tewantin. Young solicitor Bob Cartwright donned his wet weather gear and stepped out of his new law office in Noosa Junction to inspect the damage. He recalls: “On the Sound, about 100 metres along, just opposite the Woods, the river level was so high it was lapping the top of the retaining wall, and when there was a set or a surge from the ocean, ripples would break across the road, and wash out holes in the gravel. There was no doubt that it was in danger.” Although not many had seen what Cartwright saw, the rumour mill fed fears that a cyclone could wipe the place out, and Cyclone David in January 1976 forced the Queensland Government into immediate action to find a solution. Inspecting the damage with local MP Gordon Simpson a couple of months later, Premier Bjelke-Petersen vowed he would save the Sound, and so a problem created by man would have to find a man-made solution, despite the fact that for millennium beaches and waterways had done a pretty good job of sorting out the flow of sand for themselves. The solution was that research conducted by the University of Queensland recommending “retraining of the river mouth” would be parlayed into a plan to lengthen the Noosa Spit and increase Main Beach by 500 metres, thereby moving the river mouth north and screening Noosa Sound from the force of ocean swell. It was a stupid plan on almost every level, creating a whole new raft of problems with sand movement and silting, and endangering marine ecosystems. But it won widespread approval and was adopted in 1977, its $1.4 million cost split between the state government, the council and the developers. Joh was seen by many as the saviour of the Sound, and despite creating a problem that still plagues Noosa today, he retained his Noosa friendships, including one with Noosa News founder Sam Griffiths. In fact Sam was such a good mate that Joh allowed him to drive out to his Kingaroy property regularly and dig up white clay to use in his pottery.

What is the price of internet fame? It’s a question echoed throughout theatres across the country and a must for all high school students to experience when Viral, winner of the 2016 Matilda for Best Independent Production and published by Playlab, takes to the stage at Venue 114 in Bokarina next March. Viral is a story about Art and Zane, two boys who seek to attain internet ‘fame’ in order to become more popular at school and to make some money. It examines the role of social media and technology and how it impacts the way we record, communicate and think about events of racism, abuse and violence in our community. Viral directors and performers Hayden Jones and Sam Foster said the play investigates the line between disassociation and raising awareness about such events. “It explores desensitisation, responsibility and the role of social media in our modern world,” they said. “During the development of Viral, we engaged with various demographics and cultural groups on the Gold Coast, to hear a diverse cross-section of perspectives concerning the themes and issues in the play. “This process along with our own research raised many interesting ethical and moral questions about the role of technology, the internet and the media. “We wanted to create a show that raised these themes and issues in an interesting and thought-provoking way by combining episodic action that is held together by a strong narrative.” Viral is an example of Shock Therapy Pro-

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
The best (and worst) Semi-professional restaurant reviewer Trevor Pepys came bouncing into the Noosa Today offices in early June (just as we went back into print) claiming to be a descendant of the renowned 17th century diarist Samuel Pepys, to possess similarly lurid literary skills and to have travelled the globe for decades, familiarising himself with Michelin hats. Brickbats and bouquets have been hurled at his alleged restaurant reviews ever since, but we love Trev, despite the fact that there is a distinct possibility that he’d never eaten a restaurant meal before taking on the Tucker column, and never travelled further than Kin Kin. This was Trev’s half-year. June - Whisky Boy Whisky Boy resembles at first glance a double garage that has been converted into a granny flat and a kitchen, but hey, some of the best meals Trevor Pepys has ever eaten have been in sheds of one kind or another, and this is a pretty classy example of the genre. Oh, and a short note here: Trevor Pepys occasionally lapses into the third person because a) there is no third person, just you, the reader, and he, the writer, and b) he is a bit of a tosser. We opted for a few entrees to share, along with an excellent bottle of Domaine Grand Cros rose ($45). The ice cream dollop of house-made chicken liver pate, served with grilled flatbread ($16), was excellent in flavor and texture, the salt and pepper calamari ($18) made up for in taste what it lacked in presentation. Only the raw tuna special ($16), billed as sashimi, disappointed. Nothing wrong with the tuna strips, as fresh as yesterday, but sashimi needs wasabi and soy, and none was forthcoming, and neither did the kitchen have any. July - Sindo’s, A Taste of Spain Next came the star turns, which looked lonely without another bottle of tempranillo to be going on with. Making a Spanish omelette is not rocket science and yet it’s hard to find a truly authentic one in this country. Chef Daniel Mati is Catalan and it shows. If I’d picked a slice of his tortilla de patatas ($13) off the counter of a tapas bar in Barceloneta, I would not have been disappointed - texture perfect and served warm, not hot, with crunchy Catalan bread. And the same with the albondingas ($18), flavoursome meat balls in a delicate tomato and parmesan sauce. August - Light Years Asian Bar and Diner Then came the dish of the night, so good we had to double down while trebling on the pizzini. The chicken yakitori in a sweet plum glaze ($18) was everything you expect of this simple Japanese staple, and so much more. If you’re going to call yourself a diner, then you have to get the basic Asian street dishes just right, and at Light Years they seem to have got that one down pat.

Paco plays at Sindo.
September - Bombetta While Pascal’s Gaston was a bit like a Parisian bistro without the attitude, Bombetta veers more towards the eclectic/eccentric d¨¦cor of some of Trev’s most-favoured hang-outs. The original Heteroclito on the ocean steps at Guethary in the French Basque country springs to mind, a fabulously loony caf¨¦ and wine bar where Trev would arrive early to grab the most comfortable seat in the house, an old barber’s chair whose sagging springs offered a soothing rectal massage every time he leaned forward to refill his glass. October - Haru Asian Kitchen The missus insists on the beef bibimpap ($25) because of its low chilli rating, Trev opts for the super-charged spicy pork bulgogi ($23). We’re supposed to share, but she finds the bulgogi too hot to go on with, so Trev eats all of that and half the bibimpap, which is more or less a nasi goreng with the egg whipped in rather than sitting on top, but the beef strips are tender and tasty and lift the dish above the ordinary. Trev’s bulgogi is the star of the evening, a scintillating stir-fry of succulent marinated pork with genuine spice flavours, served with excellent black wild rice. This was a Korean dish to bring a tear to the eye, and not just because of the spice. If this is standard at Haru, no wonder the place was full. November - Copper Kitchen The menu at Copper Kitchen is unmistakably dominated by the cuisine of the north (the friendly manager is from Delhi), but there are also a few interesting southern touches, so for our shared main we opted for the Goan fish curry ($22.90), a lightly spiced barramundi with tamarind and coconut cream. It seems unlikely that you would be offered a barra at a beachside caf¨¦ in Goa, but who cares! This was bloody delicious, and ample for two. December - Ricky’s River Bar and Restaurant Having mixed steak and rosé elsewhere recently, Trev decided to give keeping it light over lunch another shot, ordering the pasturefed eye fillet, potato boulangere, caramelised Jerusalem artichoke puree, and red wine jus ($47), medium rare, of course, with a side of chips with chilli salt and aioli ($12), because too much potato is never enough. This was matched with a chilled glass of the 2018 Chateau Peyrol Grenache ($16), and the Provencal pinkie was so good, Trev ordered a bottle of it ($75). EDITOR’S NOTE: Well, of course he did, seeing as Noosa Today management was paying for it! TREVOR’S NOTE: I resent that remark, and to all my readers and fans, please stop sending gifts and money. I do this for the love. And may we all munch and slurp our way through a better 2021.

Team effort brings unexpected victory for Cougars It was a fantastic day of cricket for the CooroyEumundi Cougars women’s team last weekend. Faced with the top of the ladder Caboolture team, Cooroy lost the toss and were sent into field first. In hot, humid conditions the women gave it their absolute all. A fantastic caught and bowled by Margit Cruice (3/17) in the third over, followed by an lbw to Amanda Tie (1/17) in the sixth over, had Caboolture reeling at 2/12. The batters settled a little, before young Alison Lindsay (1/28) enticed a batter to hit it to Fiona Gardiner who took a beautiful catch. We saw some of the best bowling from Kirsty Patten (1/24) this season as well. Carys Underwood(1/25), another of the junior players, came on a clean bowled a batter in her first over. Fielding has improved tremendously throughout the season and this game certainly saw the women stopping everything they could, with Caboolture finishing with 8/137 from their 30 overs.
Knowing they had time to chase, Margit Cruice (50 no) and Fiona Gardiner settled in for the run chase. Unfortunately, in the difficult conditions Fiona found herself needing some rehydration and retired hurt on 13. Amanda Tie (32no) came to the crease with the runs starting to pile on. Petrina McAulay (12) was looking strong before being bowled for the first wicket down at 1/115. Kirsty Patten copped a rough lbw decision, bringing Kat Anderson to the crease. Amanda and Kat comfortably chased the runs down finishing in the 27th over at 2/138. It was a sensational final match for 2020 with the women certainly enjoying their victory. This the first season the women’s competition on the Sunshine Coast has had two tiers of cricket. In the competitive Tier 1 grade, this victory by Cooroy-Eumundi sees the first four teams locked on the same number of points, ensuring an interesting run home into the finals.

Golden opportunities By Abbey Cannan 1. A NATIONAL TRIUMPH For the seventh year in a row, the Noosa Aquatic Centre Masters swimmers won the Vorgee Endurance 1000 national competition in February, beating 142 other clubs in the year-long competition. In 2019, Noosa’s 63 swimmers amassed 21,233 points - 4870 points clear of the runnerup and ahead of 142 other clubs. The competition is a true test of ‘endurance’. Swimmers are challenged to complete 62 timed swims, ranging from 400 metres up to 60 minutes in duration. Remarkably, of the 59 swimmers nationwide who gained top points (1005), six were from Noosa. They were backed up by enthusiastic team mates, including the indomitable veteran Bob McCausland who placed first nationally in the 90-94 age group! From the first day of 2020, Noosa swimmers have been busy piling up Endurance 1000 points, keen to make it eight-in-a-row in 2020. The superb Noosa Aquatic Centre provides the perfect venue for that quest. PHOTO CAPTION: Noosa Masters swimmers celebrate with a ‘victory cake’ at the Noosa Aquatic Centre. 2. LANA ROGERS WINS GOLD In 2019, Lana Rogers went from strength to strength coming third in the Coolangatta Gold, third in the Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Series, she was the Queensland Ironwoman champion and also the Australian Open Female Belt Race Champion, cementing herself as one of the best in the country. The following summer 2019/2020 Lana continued her dominant display and went two further in the Kellogg’s Nutri Grain Series and the Coolangatta Gold becoming the champion of both. In October 2020, Lana Rogers announced her move from the Noosa Surf Club to Alexandra Headland Surf Life Saving Club. The announcement was a sad occasion for the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club veteran members, including Noosa Today columnist Ron Lane. “For the Noosa club, last week was, for a lot of us veteran members indeed been a very sad occasion,“ Ron said. “It was then that we were informed, that Australia’s number one female competitor Lana Rogers, was leaving Noosa for greener pastures and happier times. This young lady always had time for a smile and a chat: a well done from her many admirers, after yet another big achievement, was always greeted with a big, ‘’Thank you.’’ To Lana, our clubmate, your company has been our pleasure and your many successes, our pride. And as always, we are with you in spirit.“ 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 1 January, 2021
3. THUNDER STORMS TO VICTORY For the first time in a number of seasons, the TNT First XI will have a new trophy to display in its clubhouse. The team defeated the competition’s leading team, the Maroochydore Swans, in the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association’s T20 Grand Final at Read Park. In the morning they played Glasshouse Rangers in the semi-final and, by defeating them, qualified for the grand final. In the final at Read Park in front of a big crowd, TNT again batted first and finished its innings with what was considered a below par score of 126. 4. COOPER BRINGS THE BOOTIE HOME Noosa’s Cooper Davies take out the Sunshine Coast Pro at Coolum with a convincing set of performances. Cooper, who just turned 20, nailed the tight final over Alex Headland’s Alister Reginato with an impressive 8.5, adding the title, not to mention a thousand bucks, to his impressive collection, which includes the Australian Men’s Open title in 2018 and a runner-up finish earlier this year. Cooper opened the final with a 6.5, then scored another three throwaway waves and seemed to be out of luck. But in the dying minutes of the heat he managed to score an excellent 8.5 to take the victory. “That was really exciting, I wasn’t expecting that,” he said on the beach. “It’s been a long break since we’ve had competitions, so it feels awesome to get the rashie back on and get a win.” 5. FLAGS MAKE WELCOME RETURN TO BEACHES After 76 days of absence, Surf Life Saving Queensland raised the well-known red and yellow flags on Sunshine Coast beaches Saturday 13 June, in line with the progressive easing of the Covid-19 restrictions. Surf Life Saving Queensland services across the state have remained on surveillance patrol since Saturday 28 March, when flags were taken down. In light of the Stage 2 easing of restrictions in Queensland and in consultation with local councils and the Queensland Government, the decision was made to return the flags to Queensland’s patrolled beaches in order to provide designated swimming areas. 6. NOOSA DOLPHINS WIN GRAND FINAL Noosa’s Dolphins Rugby Union Club won the Grand Final, beating Caloundra. Saturday, at Dolphin Park before a good crowd of supporters from both clubs, Dolphins and Caloundra, Dolphins won a tough game that had it all: despite wet conditions ball control was good. Noosa scored first and after 18 min. led 3 nil but on the 31min. it was 3 all. The game stayed tight with plenty of hard rucking and good sweeping runs from the backs. On 24 min into the second half Caloundra scored giving us a
score of 13 to 10 Noosa’ s favour. Then Noosa scored wide of the left post and what can be only be described, as the kick of the game, a successful conversion by Jordi Meyhew, gave Noosa a 20 to 10 lead. However, Caloundra hit back with a quick try and a successful the kick putting the score at 20 to 17 with 5 min to go. Caloundra pushed hard getting to within five meters of Noosa’s line. A short break by Noosa gained them some 15 meters. Then all hell broke loose. With the score board showing 42 min, the Noosa crowd, thinking the game was over giving Noosa the win, stormed the field: but the referee had not blown time, so the ground had to be cleared of hundreds of Noosa supporters. What followed was a very tense couple of minutes, as Caloundra gained ground but finally the whistle and the mad very upset Noosa supporters were again on the field. And rightly so. It was Noosa’s day. 7. NOOSA TIGERS STEP UP TO JOIN QAFL The Noosa Tigers made a huge move in November after AFL Queensland announced that the QAFL competition would expand to 11 teams in 2021, with the club joining the competition. After appearing in the last four Division 1 Hart Sport Cup Grand Finals and being crowned back to back premiers in 2019 and 2020, Noosa have positioned themselves extremely well to make a seamless transition into the State’s premier men’s competition. On hand at the Noosa foreshore for the announcement, the new Head of AFL Queensland, Trisha Squires, said the addition of two new clubs would only further strengthen the QAFL competition. “It’s fantastic that we have clubs aspiring to play at the highest possible level and Noosa are testament to that,” Ms Squires said. “Noosa have worked diligently for several years to develop a playing list capable of competing at the highest level. “Their promotion creates a clear male youth talent pathway at the northern end of the Sunshine Coast as well as opening up pathway opportunities for those living in the Fraser Coast and Wide Bay regions,” Ms Squires added. Noosa president, Rod Purves, said the club’s elevation to QAFL was the result of a lot of hard work by many over a sustained period. “We have been building towards this step for several years now and it’s incredibly rewarding for the hard work of so many volunteers at the club. “We have tremendous community support and this step up will further enhance our standing locally,” Mr Purves said. 8. SUP CHAMPION CLAIMS USC’S TOP SPORTS AWARD World champion stand up paddleboarder Bri-
anna Orams was named USC’s Sportsperson of the Year for 2020. Brianna won the junior technical race at the Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) world championships in China in late 2019, became the SUPunited 5km and 10km time trial champion in mid-2020, and won or placed well at various SUP competitions in New Zealand. The impact of COVID-19 on elite sport this year has meant many USC student athletes including Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls - were denied the opportunity to compete in any major events. There was so much disruption to sport this year that USC introduced its 2020 Resilience Awards to recognise those who made the most of the changed circumstances through ongoing training and competition, community involvement and study success. 9. BACK-TO-BACK FOR TIGERS The Roccocos Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers trounced Mayne by 55 points at Moreton Bay to go back-to- back premiers for the first time in 10 years. While the opening stanza was tight, it was a totally dominant display by the Noo- sa Tigers after that as their solid defence and class onballers just won too much of the footy, putting Mayne under enormous pressure. There were good players for Noosa on every line, with usual suspects Fitzpatrick and Stack racking up heaps of touches through the midfield and their finishing skills sublime on the big day once again. A massive congrats to Nath Winter on completing a fairytale 200th senior game, and also to the women’s team which, in its first year, won the premiership under club legend Peter Trompf in a thriller against Hinterland. 10. NOOSA PIRATES KICK OFF BOLD NEW COMMUNITY PROJECT While the Covid-19 crisis has greatly impacted everyone’s lives, and certainly disrupted the sporting world, the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Football Club has seen it as the perfect opportunity to embark on an innovative new community project. The plan is set to transform the way Noosa, and potentially many other regions, look at how they can better utilise their sporting facilities.The project will see the current clubhouse transformed into suites for permanent on- site allied health professionals who will service people of all ages in the community. The specialist areas will include the likes of exercise physiology, physiotherapy, social work, podiatry and mental health. Next door will be a new, multi-purpose community hub building that will house modern changeroom facilities (for men, women and people with disabilities), a can- teen, and a kiosk that will replace the current outdated 35-year-old facilities.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World
Different again in 2021 Well here we are again. It’s the end of what has been a crazy year for many. The fishing has been up and down and up again and as we kick back and ease into 2021 you can bet it will be different again. This year and into 2021 we have the La Nina effect and although subtle in terms of weather I am sure the fishing will be different. After the solid rains and the rivers are still running a darker shade than usual and as mentioned the reefs are starting to wake up if you can get to them. Offshore the local reefs have been the go to as conditions continue to be rather bumpy and the bar has some solid swell on it. Sunshine and North reefs have been producing sweetlip, coral trout, cobia, jewfish, mahi mahi, tuna and the occasional mackerel. In previous years we have seen a big influx of spotty mackerel around the first week of January so be sure you load up on all things required. The Gillies baitfish slugs and Arma brass twists are the first to fly off the pegs. For most anglers the 20 & 30 gram slugs are the most popular. To keep things safe, strong and easy switch out the stock treble hook for a 2/0 single hook. A single hook won’t fail if you hook a monster and makes for fast and easy unhooking. If you are going to use wire then the new Superflex single strand in 38lb and a matching Shogun swivel is the go. Be sure you ask us how to tie the haywire twist correctly as this is super important. For leader, running 20-30lb with 20lb braid is all you need for the majority of sight casting. Take a look at the new Shimano Vanford 5000 for an ultra-light compact reel you could comfortably use all day which will hold 280-300 meters of 20lb braid. Surf fishing has also been quiet due to the conditions but decent gutters should be easy to spot when there is swell. Make sure you fish through the gutter and watch for the direction of sweep. Have your baits drifting into the gutter and use fresh mullet, pipi and whitebait rigged on 10-12lb mono for best results. Big dart should be feeding along the surf zone with smaller dart and bream on the inside. Good numbers of whiting are also around and super light 3kg lines and fresh beach worm makes for some exciting fishing. The Noosa River will be busy now we are in holiday mode. This is the time of year when the early bird catches the fish and light lines work best especially as the river begins to clear up from the rains. If you are looking for a quiet place to fish then head upriver between the lakes. If you catch catfish the waters are too fresh so it pays to move back downstream. Between the lakes is often a quiet place to fish and species can range from jacks, jewfish, trevally and even the occasional flathead. This area is best done while drifting and flicking lures along the many rock bars, deep holes and fallen timbers that line the banks. While the wa-

The smallest Samaki soft vibes are also great for this area with trevs and jewies particularly fond of this lure. Further down river the ski run toward the Marina is a wellknown trevally area and the chance of flathead extends to the grassy flats just before it. From here you can fish the Gympie Terrace stretch and into the Frying Pan if you are in a boat. This is where the sand starts to build up and we see a great mix of species. Right now flatties and trevally are the top species with a few good jacks caught around the various rock piles on the tide turn. Again you can use fresh mullet strip lightly weighted and allowed to drift along in the current. If you are on anchor you would do well to burley up. Pre mixed or our 1 KG burley bomb will get the fish biting and now is the time of year where increased boat traffic sees the fish become more cautious. With the fresh still coming down river now is a great time to put a few crab pots out for mud crabs. With the spring tides be sure you add some weight or a house brick to your pot and keep them along the edges and not in the open to prevent entanglement with boats. Freshwater is seeing Lake Macdonald at 100% and overflowing. This will see the bass following flow and even schooling up. Once you find the fish on your sounder be sure to pull away and cast into the school and work plastics

Old Phil’s 2021 Almanac JANUARY Outgoing (hopefully) US President Donald Trump Tweets that America won’t have him to kick around anymore because he is moving to Australia. Specifically Noosa, Australia, having accepted a longstanding invitation from former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to base himself at Ruddy Towers on Sunshine Beach while he accumulates real estate here. Trump Tweets: “It’s not West Palm Beach, but at least I won’t be surrounded by climatefearing Nancy boys who have nothing better to do than rig elections and cheat at golf. Speaking of which, I’ve already made an offer on something called Par Three, and old buddy Clive Palmer, who is also obese and makes me feel good to be around, says he can do me a good deal on some golf resort he’s abandoned in the area. Sounds like you could have a lot of fun with a bulldozer around Noosa.” FEBRUARY In a new and dangerous phase of its trade war with Australia, China threatens to cut off our supply of pop-out surfboards. News of this outrageous move causes an overnight stock market crash as cut-price surfboard warehouse chains begIn to close their doors around our coastline. In Noosa pop-out magnate Chuck Sick says that if the worst comes to the worst he will consider selling Australian-made surfboards, but only at five bucks wholesale and only if they are made more disposable. Councillor Tom Wegener says everybody will just have to get used to riding pieces of wood on their bellies and be happy about it like him. MARCH Trump sightings are reported all over Noosa, including one that he has been seen devouring a rib-eye at the Villa without a mask. Unconfirmed reports also reach us that all residents of Noosa Waters have received a letterbox drop signed by Trump under a presidential seal offering them a flat $10 million for their properties as long as they can settle and get out before the bulldozers come in at the end of the month. APRIL Scottie from marketing shocks political pun-
Gratuitous rear view shot of attractive girl surfer. dits by announcing an early federal election to take advantage of a rebounding economy, despite the pop-out surfboard trade war with China. In Noosa shock builds upon shock as Mayor Clare Stewart declares that she will stand down to seek LNP pre-selection for the seat of Wide Bay, and new Noosa Waters resident Donald Trump says he will run for mayor, despite not yet having paid for citizenship, under the distinguished persons and former presidents’ loophole. Trump tweets: “That’s just a minor detail. I will run and I will win. The Russians, the Chinese and the Nancy boy save the river fakes will not be able to rig this one.” Noosa Sooks and Whingers Facebook page pledges support. MAY The combined Noosa Festival of Surfing and
Noosa Eat and Get Drunk Festival is a phenomenal success, despite 17,000 arrests for Covid violations. In a splendid gesture of solidarity, mayoral candidate Donnie “Doofus” Trump offers to pay all fines after leading the paddle-out in traditional Hawaiian robes then knocking back 15 pints of local craft beer to win the Bob Hawke Memorial Swill before barfing a Technicolor trail down Hastings Street and passing out in a flower bed. “What a bloke,” says supporter and former real estate developer Whattock Hunt. “This is the kind of mayor we’ve been praying for.” JUNE Noosa Shire is closed for renovations while the 30-storey Trump Towers Two is built on the former Noosa Waters estate, next to the MarA-Lago-Nuevo Golf and Gentlemen’s Club.
JULY Donnie Doofus Trump wins the special Noosa mayoral election in a landslide from other candidates Jess Glasgow and Frank Pardon, who was unable to campaign. AUGUST Mayor Trump announces that more than 5000 evicted former property owners on Trump Waters Estate (formerly Noosa Waters) will be temporarily housed at Trump Coolum Resort (formerly Palmer Coolum Resort) which he has just purchased for an undisclosed sum from the other rotund mogul and former politician. SEPTEMBER Noosa reopens for business as Mayor Trump announces scrapping of the Noosa Plan and the introduction of a new population cap (5 million) and 30-storey building height limit, except on Trump Waters where there are no rules. OCTOBER After just two months in the Federal Parliament, the Hon Clare Stewart, former Noosa mayor and MHR for Wide Bay, masterminds a midnight party room coup and emerges as the new Prime Minister, pledging a better deal for the “New Noosa”, including funding for a golf resort and heliport on the site of the former Noosa National Park. NOVEMBER Despite Mayor Trump declaring Noosa a “climate change free zone”, an unseasonal tropical cyclone crosses the coast at Teewah, creating 10-metre waves on the points and demolishing several skyscrapers on Trump Waters, including the recently-completed Mar-A-LagoNuevo Golf and Gentlemen’s Club. DECEMBER Mayor Trump announces that he has purchased the presidency of Botswana for an undisclosed sum and will be moving there immediately. He Tweets: “Noosa won’t have Donnie Doofus to kick around anymore.” Prime Minister Stewart is appointed acting mayor, saying that she will commute from Canberra at weekends to keep the town running smoothly.

DYNAMIC YEAR FOR NOOSA PROPERTY PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY
One of the stand-out auctions for attendance and the number of bidders was a riverside cottage at 317 Gympie Terrace in Noosaville earlier in the year which attracted 200 people including 20 registered buyers. After about 100 bids the cottage finally sold to a local buyer to a roar of applause from the street filled with onlookers. The record price just over $3m did not last long though because it was for more just six months later, also to a local buyer. Enquiries were 120% up on last year, and when the official capital growth numbers are released people will be impressed. The capital growth of Noosa Sound waterfront has been a stand-out with a massive 16% average annual growth, continuous from 1977 when blocks were just $14,000. The highest waterfront house sale was $11.25m and several other sales nearby were close to this level. These have established new benchmarks for prime waterfront locations. Little Cove was another hot spot with the top apartment sale at $6.3m and

highest house sale at $6.2m. Other high performers were Hastings Street beachfront apartments which smashed the Queensland record with a penthouse sale in Noosa Court negotiated at $14m. Earlier in the year the agency transacted a $9m sale in the same complex. More recently, just along the beach in La Mer, an apartment was sold in its original condition for $7.4m. “A shortage of available properties added to buyer frustrations,” Tom Offermann added, “especially for those repeatedly missing out at auctions or multioffers. “Buying property without a physical inspection became commonplace, even for premium properties. Inspections using facetime accounted for about 30 of our sales this year with two in excess of $10m. “The greatest demand has been for properties close to the beaches, river, and canals. “The favourites have been Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Noosa Heads and Little Cove, Noosa Sound and Noosa Waters.

“We are tipping a huge surge of interest and some record sales in the Noosa hinterland.” What is driving this powerhouse market and how long will it last? The interest in Noosa property has always been underpinned by its stunning natural beauty and amenable climate. The catalyst for the increased activity is a combination of primarily three things. First, the ultra-low interest rates make it cheap to borrow and additionally there is no incentive to keep it in the bank, so money is flowing into property. Second, more people working from home, and an increasing number of people leaving big cities for an improved lifestyle are adding to the demand. Looking ahead, Noosa will continue to track as it did during the last half of 2020 with property in supply short and continuing intense demand. There has been a tremendous increase in Australian wealth, particularly over the past decade, some of it self-made and some of it inherited, but one thing is certain, much of is heading for Australia’s favourite beachfront destination.

IN a year of challenges, it is fair to say Noosa is the number one aspirational lifestyle destination in Australia. And while adapting to the current times, Tom Offermann Real Estate is fortunate to be at the forefront of assisting people across the globe and in Australia, achieve their goals of living or investing in Noosa. The past year has been amazing, easily the most dynamic year that the agency has seen. Records have been broken for prices and volumes of real estate sold, especially for premium lifestyle and holiday properties. The Offermann team was again recognised as number 1, from 300-plus agencies on the Sunshine Coast, also the number 2 highest selling agency among 3500 in Queensland. “The results are humbling,” agency principal Tom Offermann said, “however, they were made easier because property is in high demand. “Much of the credit goes to the team. Our sales volume was triple the closest Noosa competitors working in the same environment. “The year began with a lot of uncertainty however as months passed, it was a pleasure to see people pursuing lifestyle changes with such purpose, vigour and happiness. “People were making spontaneous decisions to change where and how they lived, and while it might sound like a cliche, it is very satisfying as an agent to share that excitement. “Buyer competition was strong at auctions with our clearance rates hovering around 90% and typically five to 10 bidders thrashing it out for the prize.”

Vendor Review - Karl & Jennifer 32 Noosa Dunes Court, Castaways Beach
We have owned and sold real estate on three continents. This recent transaction under a very strict COVID environment early in the pandemic was flawless, easy and satisfied all parties. As owners we were unable to get to Australia for any part of the listing, preparation, showing or sale. Kate handled all of the above with complete professionalism.
noosatoday.com.au
Kate knows her market and doesn’t give up. I found her extremely easy to communicate with, and she listens. Nothing is too much trouble for her. I will use her again.
Kate managed to make the experience of selling our property easy and stress-free. Her communication with us at all times throughout the process was consistent and knowledgeable. I would recommend Kate and her team without hesitation.

BADDERAM SITE SEEKS NEW OWNER AND EXPERIENCED DEVELOPER

PICTURED for sale is the Badderam resort development site in Buderim, also known locally for some 50 plus years as - Malumba Estate. Malumba Estate currently operates as one Australia’s most prestigious and romantic Hampton’s retreats and is currently the Sunshine Coast’s most luxurious private-hire accommodation. Whilst operating Malumba Estate and neighbouring Aquila Retreat, property owners Mrs Heidi Meyer and Mr Kim Carroll, have for the past 6 years also been successfully progressing the Badderam resort project. The Badderam Resort DA is important to the couple, as this will see their rare and large land parcel used responsibly to provide their community with an ecologically built luxury infrastructure, jobs for future generations and an increased footfall to the businesses of Buderim village. Heidi and Kim are clear about the legacy they wish to leave. Badderam is recognised as the most community supported development application in Sunshine Coast Councils history.
Friday, 1 January, 2021
Since the DA was approved in 2018 Heidi and Kim have engaged with international resort operators, potential developers and financiers the world over, bringing together the projects moving parts. Having led a team of over 45 consultants to progress this new and exciting ecological and indigenous inspired 5 star resort development, project lead Heidi says she and Kim have now brought the project as far as they can until an experienced developer is found. ● ______________________________________ TENDER Close Thursday, January 28, 2021 5pm INSPECTIONS By appointment CONTACT Matt Diesel 0412 053 117 Damien Michael 0413 024 124 Chris Pace 0417 196 600

SPARKLING BLUE WATERWAYS AWAITS WHEN sitting on the riverfront deck of unit 26, take a moment to appreciate the outlook. What becomes apparent is you’re in the middle of all Noosa offers, but your outlook has virtually no human development. All you see are boats, and birds going about their business on one of the prettiest waterways in Australia. The views are exceptional; sweeping west to east across the confluence of Weyba Creek and the Noosa River as they join and head out to Laguna Bay. Unit 26 has been tastefully renovated with a neutral palate to compliment the white sand and turquoise water at your feet. The unit is air conditioned and fully furnished for letting. Just one flight of stairs delivers you to your door from car park level. Heated pool, spa, sauna, jetty, barbeques and half court tennis are all on site. Within 2 minutes walk are some of Noosa’s finest restaurants, wine shop and supermarket. Hastings Street is a 15 minute flat walk away. ●
