Cattle prices highest ever By Margaret Maccoll
Saleyard owner and auctioneer David Stariha.

Cattle sales have rocketed with record prices reached at the first sale of the year held at the Eumundi Saleyards held on Tuesday. After tough years marked by drought and bushfires stocks across the region have been greatly diminished, making sales of the scarce available cattle beyond anything ever before seen. Stariha Auctions owner David Stariha said the price of cattle had more than doubled in the past year. Animals that would have sold for $500 a year ago were now fetching more than $1000. “It was an extremely good with incredible prices,” he said of the auction. David said many farmers were forced to sell their stock during the drought and were now looking to build up their herds. The high prices are a boon for farmers with stock and are creating challenging for others. “A lot of people don’t have the cattle. Some
people can’t afford to restock,” he said. There were just over 200 beef and dairy cattle at this week’s sale which would normally attract more than double that number and buyers came from across the state. Steers were selling for $1200 to more than $1700 and the top sale for the day was a cow and calf that went under the hammer for $2280. “After the drought numbers are greatly diminished. That might be the norm now,”David said. David said most of the cattle were picked up by west Queensland buyers from areas including St George and the Condamine. “A lot of locals were there to buy but they wouldn’t have bought anything,” he said. Two Conondale farmers watched the auction unfold in disbelief of the prices. One was hoping to buy 30 to 50 cows and calves and the other wanted steers but neither placed a bid. Continued page 4
Seachange surge By Phil Jarratt In the post-Covid world, more and more Australians will flee the cities for the coast, according to population analysts. But while the Sunshine Coast population is predicted to crash through half a million by 2041, Noosa Shire’s controlled growth over the same period will be a modest 8000. These projections, based on figures released by the Sunshine Coast Council late last year and by the Queensland government’s 2018 population projections for Noosa, are not expected to be changed significantly by the evolving coronavirus situation, although much of the net growth in the coming years is likely to be driven by interstate rather than international migration.
From Noosa’s perspective, average growth of around 400 a year is unlikely to endanger the zoning-controlled “population cap” within the life of the new Noosa Plan, but what is concerning is the expected growth of more than 8,000 a year in the neighbouring Sunshine Coast local government area as part of an ongoing population explosion in South East Queensland, which is certain to push the “daytripper tsunami” into unprecedented levels, creating new pressures on traffic flow and infrastructure. Just to put this in perspective, population growth of our neighbouring shire is expected to be 20 times our own growth every year for the next 20 years. Meanwhile, although no post Covid-19 population modelling has been done here, Noosa Shire Council’s Principal Strategic Plan-
ner and “population guru” Rowena Skinner says: “Certainly our observation at the moment is that any immediate loss of international students or immigrants has been more than replaced by expats who have returned home and interstate migration from people departing Melbourne and Sydney. Even Brisbane residents who have gained a taste for working from home have departed the capital for coastal locations like ours.” Rowena points to University of Queensland research which suggests Australia as a whole will experience a significant reduction in international migration with up to a four percent reduction in the forecasted 2040 population, adding: “However, historically international migrants predominantly settle in inner city, higher density environments, so it is expected
the capital cities will feel their absence the most. Interstate migrants are particularly attracted to coastal destinations like the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. In the 12 months ending June 2020, Queensland had the largest net gain of people, compared to all other states and territories in Australia. Brisbane had a net inflow of 13,500 people while the areas outside the capital city had a net inflow of 11,800 people. The Australian Bureau of Statistics, in its December 2020 Population Statement, predicts the “rest-of-state” (the part of Queensland that isn’t Brisbane) will have the highest level of net internal migration in the country over the next decade, driven by the high growth in coastal areas, such as the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Sixty-seven years and a wealth of broad global experience in several professions separate Noosa Today’s two Citizens of the Year for 2020, but Maureen Farrington, 84, and George Gleeson, 17, have this in common - they both grab opportunity with both hands whenever it arises, and they use it to benefit their community. Maureen, nominated for Citizen of the Year by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, won the award for more than 20 years of tireless work for charity, including board and management roles with Noosa Regional Gallery, the Red Cross, and more recently a decade of volunteering with St Vinnies. Along the way, she has helped thousands of local people through times of trauma and crisis. Says Sandy Bolton: “Regardless of the day or time, Maureen has taken calls from me to provide advice and specific assistance for those who are isolated, require shelter as domestic violence victims, or families that need goods and furniture. Sometimes it is just someone to talk to, or help to fill out confusing documentation. Maureen’s passion for helping those in need is second to none and her dedication is inspiring to all of us.” It all began when Maureen retired to Noosa after a varied and busy career based in Sydney and overseas, working at different times with the NSW Police Force, the department of Foreign Affairs and Trade at various Australian embassies, and with the Canadian government’s immigration bureau. She put her feet up for 12 months and then decided to get active in the community, and nothing has
Man trapped Cal oundra detectives arrested a man after he became trapped inside a roof cavity during the alleged break and enter of a Landsborough hotel in the early morning of January 6. Around 6am police were called to the Cribb Street licensed premises after staff heard noises of a person inside the rear toilet block. Police gained entry and discovered a man stuck in the roof cavity. It was established he had been trapped for several hours. He was helped down and arrested. Entry had been gained to another room of the hotel via the roof where damage was caused to equipment and roof sheeting. The 30-year-old North Booval man has been charged with break and enter and was due to appear before Maroochydore Magistrates Court on January 7.
stopped her since. George, who graduated from Good Shepherd Lutheran College last year, was nominated twice independently (by Mayor Clare Stewart and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie) for our Under 25 Citizen of the Year for his ground-breaking work and leadership in developing facial shields or masks for our frontline workers at the Peregian Digital Hub. The Hub’s talent development program also led to a networking connection with exciting Noosaville biotech start-up Provectus Algae, where he is now working before heading to the Queensland University of Technology to study science and engineering. Says George: “I’m working with Provectus in genetically modifying algae to allow the production of rare compounds. I got involved with that 13 months ago through the Hub and it’s been incredible to see it grow from just an idea and now it’s a 20-person company. I hope going forward I can take opportunities like that, and like the face shield program. My main ambition is to find solutions to problems. I’m not too worried about making money. It’s more about having fun making stuff, and ultimately about helping people, helping the world.” The final wise word, prior to accepting their awards from Star News Group Queensland sales manager Phill Le Petit, went to Maureen: “I don’t give advice but I loved hearing George say he takes opportunities when they arise, because that’s what life is all about. You never know what is going to come through the door, so take it, and if it doesn’t work out, move on to the next opportunity. That’s the way you’ll find success. Doors open for reasons.”
The editor’s desk When Covid concerns were heightened again in Noosa last weekend due to the lockdown of Brisbane and surrounding council shires people reacted in different ways. There was an obvious increase in mask wearing, whether this was general precaution-taking or a result of medical advice is unknown. People queued, often in the rain, for Covid testing. Some people stocked up on items such as toilet paper (yes, again) leaving stores shelves empty, despite reassurances there was no shortage of groceries. On Sunday morning Rob and I went for a walk along Park Rd and into the Noosa National Park, dodging the many joggers who took to the path. To avoid the crowd we decided to try the alternate path that was built as a temporary walkway from Little Cove to the National Park entrance while the boardwalk was being constructed. We were surprised to find we had the walkway entirely to ourselves. I don’t know if visitors are unaware it exists but if we keep it to ourselves it’s a lovely walk. It’s great to see Noosa so busy with guests filling up our resorts and hotels, eating at our restaurants, shopping in our stores and enjoying our natural assets. But if you want a little break from the crowd, take the path less travelled.

Sea-change on steroids From page 1 The increasing flight to the coast is what is driving housing prices up and rental availability down, according to data released by CoreLogic this month, and its impact is being felt along the east coast from Bells Beach to Noosa. According to CoreLogic, the Victorian Surf Coast (centred on Torquay) had zero rental availability last month while Noosa had just 0.2 percent, down from 1.8 percent in December 2019. Their survey of housing prices across eight popular coastal regions is even more revealing, with Noosa leading the way with a 15.2 percent increase over the 12 months to December 2020. Byron Bay was next with a 14.3 percent increase, but Byron was the winner in median house prices with $1,218,616, well ahead of Noosa’s $866,178. The only other coastal zone
to break the million mark was Victoria’s Surf Coast with $1,038,253. Interestingly, apart from Noosa, none of the eight coastal regions surveyed has any kind of population capping strategy in place within its town planning. Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula does, but it wasn’t in the survey, and with a current population of 165,000, the horse may already have bolted. In Noosa we can thank years of responsible local government for our control of growth, but as the new sea change gathers momentum all around us, don’t expect to find a car park at the beach. But, as a reader noted last week on the surf forecast website Swellnet,“The problem isn’t that people are moving into surf towns, it’s that housing is used as an investment tool to create wealth.”

Cattle prices highest ever From page 1 Former sale yard owner Terry Murtagh has been a fixture at the Eumundi saleyards since he helped his father-in-law build it in 1968. “I’ve never seen this sort of money when I was in the game,” he said. “I wish I had I’d be a millionaire. They are breaking all records.” Terry began working for Bill Boxall at 12 years of age, married the boss’ daughter, Lolie, and inherited the business. Terry said his father-in-law used to travel the area on horseback visiting farmers and buying unwanted cattle before the saleyards were established. Terry sold the saleyards to Mike Wheeler then David Stariha took it on, but he never misses a sale.For the past 10 years Evelyne Atkinson has also been a stalwart of the sales, providing food and drinks to the buyers and sellers. Evelyne brings along everything she needs for her canteen (including the water) and her corned beef sandwiches are her best seller. She said attendees were about half the usual number and while not an auction participant the cattle prices had come as a surprise. The Eumundi sale yard auctions are held every second Tuesday.

Covid lockdown impacts By Margaret Maccoll The Covid-19 lockdown of Brisbane and surrounding councils had accommodation operators hopping to adjust affected bookings, people donning masks, queuing for Covidtesting and stocking up on groceries. Last Friday accommodation operators were busy changing bookings to deal with tourists wanting to extend their stays, book in early before the lockdown or cancel because they were no longer able to leave their homes. Accommodation operators said the holiday season had been a busy one but were well aware COVID-restrictions could quickly impact business. In Hasting Street, Gareth Doran from Ocean Breeze Resort said the bookings and cancellations due to the lockdown announcement had just about cancelled each other out. “We’ve had a lot of people cancelling because they can’t leave Brisbane, a lot of people wanting to extend their stay and others wanting to come in early,“ he said. People booked in until Sunday wanted to extend until Tuesday rather than spend time in lockdown in Brisbane, he said. “There’s been a lot of moving around.“ Gareth was concerned if the lockdown had continued it would have a negative impact on their bookings which were heavily reliant on the Brisbane drive market. Alan Golley at Seahaven Noosa said their bookings for the week were all from Victoria so they had been unaffected by the Brisbane lockdown. Alan said about 80 per cent of their bookings through January had been from Victoria including last minute bookings which was a new trend for guests who usually booked well in advance. He said when Covid restrictions were imposed on Sydney hot spots they had received a number of cancellations but with a long waiting list were able to fill their vacancies. Alan said the season so far had been very good, a sentiment also held by Dan Gleeson of The Beach Retreat Houses at Peregian Beach who said it had been “an awesome season“. Dan said they received a few cancellations last Friday but the bookings had been replaced by people from Toowoomba and area’s further

There were queues at Covid-testing clinics set up across Noosa, a noticeable increase in mask wearing and supermarkets were brimming with customers buying up basics. Shops and restaurants posted signs to remind people to hand sanitize and isolate where required. Noosa Police said people were generally taking infection precautions and there were no concerns with Covid breaches over the weekend.
Some basics flew off the shelves when the lockdown was announced.
Out of isolation: Greater Brisbane lockdown ends After three days Greater Brisbane’s strict lockdown came to an end at 6pm Monday night, although the mandatory mask rule will stay in place. The need for some sensible precautions will remain in the Greater Brisbane hotspot, and for people who have been in the Greater Brisbane hotspot since 2 January, for a further 10 days. Until 1am, Friday 22 January, masks must be worn in indoor places including shopping centres and supermarkets, gyms, workplaces where people cannot socially distance and
where it is safe, places of worship, libraries, public transport, taxis and ride share vehicles. Restrictions on visits to hospitals, aged care, disability accommodation and prisons remain. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the gradual easing of restrictions follows the best health advice. “The evidence tells us the lockdown has done its job,” the Premier said. “Dr Young has asked for these further 10
days of measures in the Greater Brisbane area. “It’s better to be safe than sorry and it’s better to be sure.” Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said this was the first step in easing out of the lockdown restrictions. “We must not get complacent,” Minister D’Ath said. “This decision was not made lightly. We know this new variant is much more contagious, which is why it is so important we continue to have some restrictions in place for a
short period of time. “We must remember why we are doing this - to protect ourselves, and the people around us, especially those most vulnerable.” Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said the measures mirror those in other states. “The pandemic is still with us,” Dr Young said. “We have achieved so much this past weekend. “It’s important we come out of it carefully and sensibly.”

Cats off the python menu By Abbey Cannan The cats at RSPCA Noosa have been lucky to escape the fate of a hungry carpet python that had managed to sneak inside their enclosure. The huge python had been hanging around the cat patio for a few days but kept disappearing into the tiny roof cavity, waiting patiently for its next meal. Snake Catcher Noosa Luke Huntley was equally as patient, waiting for the call to grab the snake as soon as it was spotted again. “The snake had moved from the side they moved all the cats from, to the side with all the cats inside,“ Luke said. “It was actually with a cat and waiting for it but luckily the staff grabbed the cat and called me.“ Luke said the snake was in a “pretty good mood“, despite the catcher depriving him of a meal. “There was some blood on the floor, so there had definitely been a conflict,“ he said. “It would seem the snake had tried to get a cat but failed. Luckily for the snake and all the cats, everyone was okay.“ Aside from saving cats, Luke said he had been keeping busy catching snakes as there were “so many“ around Noosa due to the weather not being as hot. “I caught a massive Eastern brown snake in Noosaville a few weeks back,“ he said. “It was the first brown snake I’ve ever caught in Noosaville and it was literally just down the road from Aldi and across from the dog park.“ Luke said the snake was over six feet long. “I couldn’t believe it.

Unravelling the US saga By Margaret Maccoll As Australians watch with interest the political happenings in the US and consider its consequences for our country for University of Sunshine Coast lecturer Dr Stefanie Fishel the saga is both of professional and personal interest. The American academic who lectures in politics and international relations has family in the US and used to live near Washington DC. “It’s been horrifying to watch,” she said. “I think the important thing to remember is it’s been four years in the making of Trump inciting violence.” She said what surprised peoplein the US was how brazen the attack on the Capital had been and how limited the police response was despite warnings from the FBI of the impending event. Dr Fishel said while she could not possibly predict what was in Trump’s brain while he remained president he could not be prosecuted for any crime but once he steps away from the presidency he may face a number of charges for high crimes and misdemeanours. “His life could be very different after the 20th,” she said. She said people were no longer afraid of the repercussions of pursuing Trump
Dr Stefanie Fishel over legal charges and there may also be consequences for those Republicans who sided with him. Dr Fishel said the Democrats pursuit of impeachment of President Trump may extend beyond the inauguration of President Joe Biden and have longterm consequences for Trump. “It’s important because it stops him from
running for office. It protects America from him,” she said. The impeachment will also prevent President Trump from receiving the privileges enjoyed by other former presidents including a wage and travel. Dr Fishel said the questions that are arising over President Trumps future options such as his ability to pardon himself from any crime were ones that had just never arisen before. She said the possibility of Vice President Pence taking over the role of president and pardoning Trump may not occur as their relationship has soured and Trumps’ personality may not allow him to give up his position. Whatever the outcome in the US what is important to both Australia and the US is the alliance between them. Dr Fishel said there has been much discussion on how President elect Biden will manage China. “The more tension between the US and China the more difficulty it causes Australia both diplomatically and economically,” she said. She said it was more probably Biden would step into a leadership role and open discus-
sions similar to ones conducted by presidents prior to Trump. However Biden faces his own problems moving into the role of president. While the impeachment process continues he will be unable to get his cabinet members in place and he is already behind in being able to access funds. On top of that as he steps into the role of President he faces an escalating Covid crisis and foreign policy crisis without having a cabinet to back him. Stefanie Fishel is a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the USC and holds a PhD in Politics and International Relations from the Johns Hopkins University. Her research engages with political ecology, environmental humanities, philosophy, and feminist approaches to theorize new forms of global environmental institutions and legal regimes that support biodiversity, earth system governance and Earth jurisprudence. She is coauthor of “Planet Politics: A Manifesto from the End of IR” in Millennium: Journal of International Studies. Dr. Fishel’s 2017 book, The Microbial State: Global Thriving and the Body Politic, is available through the University of Minnesota Press.
New information hub enhances council transparency A dedicated information hub has been launched to further enhance transparency and accountability at Noosa Council. Mayor Clare Stewart said the Open Council webpage provides residents with easier access to a raft of council information. “This council remains committed to being as open and transparent as possible,” she said. “Much of the information has always been
available on council’s website, but staff have now collated it and placed all relevant links and information in one section so the community has easier access and can better scrutinise how council spends ratepayers’ money.” Information published on the webpage includes detailed financial records from council, purchasing data, current tenders, councillor expenses, capital program delivery schedule and allocation of council grants.
Cr Stewart and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie flagged the idea of an Open Council webpage, after attending a presentation at last year’s Local Government Association Queensland convention. Cr Stewart said transparency, accountability and trust are at the heart of good governance. “We are here to serve the community so it’s important we provide the mechanism for
residents to monitor our decisions,” she said. “The Open Council Hub has the full support of all councillors and demonstrates responsible and transparent decision-making.” “I encourage residents to make use of the site to better understand how council operates and to stay well informed on a range of council’s financial decisions,” she said.

Wet, wet week in Noosa By Phil Jarratt As the rain bucketed down in Noosa last week, Sunrise Beach resident Jim Kennedy put on his raincoat and his wellies and did what he does same time every morning - he checked his rain gauge. Jim, 82, has been monitoring local rainfall for a few years now and in 2019 he began charting the fluctuations. He says: “What’s the most talked about thing in the world and what is the thing we can have least effect on? It’s the weather of course. And rainfall is generally the aspect of weather which gets the most attention.” So Jim set out to become our own unofficial weatherman, and the first thing he can tell us is that last week’s consistently glum weather from midweek through the weekend was nothing compared with last January when Jim recorded 268mm of rain, nearly 60 percent of it on the one day, January 19. But that was by no means our wettest month, that honour going to February with 677mm, 274 percent of the February average. Jim is at pains to explain that his gauge readings, on the coast at Sunrise, can be different from the official reading upriver a few kilometres at Tewantin, due to local topography, but they tend to average out. The long term (since 1996) average annual rainfall for Tewantin is 1,669mm. For 2020 Jim recorded 2072mm of rain, or 24 percent above the yearly average. During the year we have wide fluctuations, with the wettest month being February with 677mm, 274 percent of monthly average. The next wettest was January with 268mm or 116 percent of the monthly average. “Furthermore, says Jim, “We had rainfall on 111 days during 2020, or roughly one wet day out of three. August was the driest with just 21mm or 58 percent of average. The longest dry spell for the year was 27 days, at the

end of September through to the third week of October.” Jim’s prediction for the rest of 2021? “Well,
we’re off to a pretty wet start, so we can only but hope that the rain gods will be just as kind to us this year as they were last year.”
Spoken like a true farmer, rather than a beach-loving tourist. Let’s hope the rain gods aren’t too generous.

Sekisui appeal plea
Coolum parking changes proposed to make way for extra traffic. lose their loading bay and one of the two carparks. This is to extend the left-hand lane coming down the hill towards the ocean, to cater for both left and right-turning traffic. “How much harder are we going to make it for these Beach Road businesses to function when they have nowhere sensible to offload their goods? Or will they lose all adjacent customer parking to keep a loading bay?” Ms Hyman said. “On completion, this one development will more than double Yaroomba’s existing population with over 1500 new residents and up to 440 hotel guests. To drive anywhere they
would either go via Coolum which would add extra vehicles to the already congested motorway roundabout near the Coolum Primary School, or they would head south along David Low Way. The traffic report also outlines changes for the one kilometre stretch of David Low Way in Yaroomba from Warran Road to Tanah Street. There will be two sets of traffic lights, two large roundabouts plus another secondary road on the eastern side. That is double what is there now. “This will be about the same amount of stop/start driving as on Nicklin Way past
Kawana Shoppingtown or Brisbane Road into Mooloolaba. “This is dangerous in times of emergency, and impacts residents’ liveability, access to already struggling local businesses, our tourism industry and our brand as a laid-back destination.” Ms Hyman urged residents to help their own local businesses retain their existing trading conditions by donating to the Save Yaroomba fighting fund for the Supreme Court Appeal in Brisbane on March 10 and 11 against the approval of the Sekisui project.

Parking is already at a premium at Coolum during the summer holidays and the situation is predicted to worsen, according to Save Yaroomba spokeswoman Kathryn Hyman who said the situation will be far worse if the Sekisui project at Yaroomba goes ahead. “Mooloolaba has just opened an ugly but useful multi-deck car park close to the beach and has parking meters. That could easily be the future for Coolum too as the traffic crush is already intense and distressing,” she said. Ms Hyman said Coolum’s popular beachfront restaurants and businesses will be the big losers with the removal of car parking spaces to cater for significant extra traffic that would be generated by the development. The group is fundraising for an Appeal in the Supreme Court on March 10 against this project’s approval with $20,000 still to raise. “People may think that a multi high-rise development in Yaroomba will be tucked away and not cause impacts elsewhere. But the anticipated flow-on traffic impact onto Coolum’s main intersection at the traffic lights and out to the motorway roundabout would be significant,” Ms Hyman said. Court documents show that the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) has made its approval of the Sekisui development conditional upon changes to the busy Beach Road/Coolum Esplanade intersection. “The documents clearly show that nearly half of the car spaces on David Low Way opposite “My Place” and “Canteen” will be removed to create a second lane for traffic turning south onto David Low Way from Beach Road. “Not only that, you will have to reverse park to get into half the remaining spots rather than drive in as we do now. This will hold up traffic. With the lack of parking spaces in central Coolum already, you will need your hiking boots to trek to these restaurants.” Other changes will affect the shops fronting Beach Road near the traffic lights.

Returning lost treasures By Margaret Maccoll Dynamic diving duo and father and son team Daren and Elliot Styles have become local legends for spending their spare time cleaning up the Noosa River and returning lost items to their owners. Their efforts began a few years ago when they came across an outboard motor while enjoying their favourite pastime of snorkelling to view the rich marine life in the river. “We enjoyed dragging it out and cleaning the river up and it grew from there,“ Daren said. “We started going a lot more and cleaning up the river.“ Elliot said while the river looks beautiful on top underneath is teeming with a mix of discarded goods, rubbish, lost items and the occasional treasure. The pair’s exploits have become popular viewing for their Facebook followers who love it that they pick up the rubbish in the river and are also keen to see what treasures they have discovered. “Rubbish is important to get out. The treasure is the thing the community get into,“ Elliot said. In a recent haul the snorkelers discovered a couple of drones, one worth about $2500 new, but worthless after its river dip. “We find phones, GoPros, rings, watches, wallets and heaps of fishing gear,“ Elliot said. “We find lots of bottles. We pull out as many as we can.“ They have also collected heaps of fishing rods, anchors and sunglasses. Each time they dive under the water the shifting sands reveal items they haven’t seen before. “We scratch around the rocks and pylons where the sea life is and that’s where the fishermen target,“ Daren said. “You see bait bags, hook and line. About a year ago we did a clean up under the Sofitel. We found trolleys and a Garth Prowd sign that we helped make its way

The duo hope by sharing their finds on Facebook they are increasing awareness of the litter in the river and encouraging others to also pick some up. “Noosa has a great community spirit. Everyone does their bit. We’re doing our bit,“ Daren said.
Daren made the switch from surfing to snorkelling a few years back and makes sure he is in the river a few times a week. He will be snorkelling solo in the near future with Elliot in Tasmania to continue his studies in marine antarctic science but Elliot insists he will be heading back to Noosa every chance he can.

BOM report on 2020 The year 2020 was the fourth-warmest year on record for Australia, with the nation’s area-averaged mean temperature for the year 1.15 ºC above the 1961-1990 average according to the Bureau of Metereology’s Annual Climate Statement, BOM’s official summary of the year. The report showed for Queensland rainfall was below average across much of the southeast and parts of the east coast and close to average everywhere else. Mean maximum temperatures were above average across Queensland, with small areas of the northern tropics the warmest on record. Mean minimum temperatures were above to very much above average across the state. Many catchments experienced flooding in early March from the remnants of tropical cyclone Esther. Nationally mean annual maximum and minimum temperatures were above average for all states and the Northern Territory. While rainfall for 2020 was close to average overall, easing drought conditions in many areas, some regions received below average
rainfall, including the west of Western Australia, southeastern Queensland, and western Tasmania. In the Murray-Darling Basin, southern water storages saw significant increases during 2020 - rising from 36.8% in March 2020 to 68.8% at the end of November. In the northern Basin water storage levels also increased from a record low of 5.4% to around 25% at the end of December. Senior Climatologist Dr Lynette Bettio, said that: “The mean temperature for the 10 years from 2011 to 2020 was the highest on record, at 0.94ºC above average, and 0.33ºC warmer than the previous 10 years. “Rainfall for Australia was close to average for the nation as a whole at 483.4 mm: 4% above the 1961-1990 average of 466.0 mm.” Annual rainfall was above average across large parts of New South Wales, parts of South Australia between the Flinders Ranges and Lake Eyre / Kati Thanda, much of northern and eastern Western Australia and much of the Northern Territory. Flooding impacted eastern Australia during February and March, par-
ticularly through Queensland and New South Wales. Daytime temperatures were especially warm for Sydney, Hobart, and Darwin. The annual mean maximum temperature was above average for Perth, Canberra, and Brisbane; close to average at most sites across greater Adelaide; and close to average or slightly below average in Melbourne. All of the capital cities, except Adelaide, observed warmer than average annual mean minimum temperatures. Nights were especially warm in Sydney, Darwin, Hobart, Canberra, and Brisbane. “Globally, every year from 2013 onwards has been among the ten warmest on record, with 2016 and 2019 being the hottest (0.85± 0.1ºC and 0.81± 0.1ºC above the 1961-1990 average respectively) and 2020 was among the top three, despite the onset of La Niña which has a suppressing effect on global temperatures,” Dr Bettio said. Australia had its warmest spring on record in 2020.
Stolen car chase ends in Caboolture Police have charged a man after he allegedly stole a car from the Sunshine Coast and drove it to Caboolture. The car is understood to have been stolen from a Maleny Stanley River Road address in Wootha within the Sunshine Coast hinterland just before 5pm on Sunday afternoon. At 8am on Monday police patrols were alerted to a stolen black Audi S5 allegedly seen driving at high speeds throughout the Moreton area.
It will be alleged the vehicle was pursued southbound along Morayfield Road just before 10am where it mounted a roundabout and exited onto Uhlmann Road towards the Bruce Highway onramp. At this time, police stopped their pursuit of the vehicle after it allegedly went through a red light and Polair2 continued tracking the car along the highway. The Audi was followed to a home in Burkeley Court, Caboolture where a man
was arrested without incident. A 22-year-old man has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, evade police, burglary and possess dangerous drugs. He was expected to front the Caboolture Magistrates Court on Tuesday 12 January. Anyone with further vision or information about the incident is urged to contact police. Investigations are continuing.

Noosa tyre shops flat out By Abbey Cannan Tyre shops in the Noosa area have been flat out fixing punctured tyres, with at least 10 people a day needing assistance. Bob Jane T-Marts Noosaville franchisee Graham Greenwood said there were two reasons why they had more tyres to fix than usual. “What’s happened is our weeks have been condensed over the holiday period and people still get those punctures regardless of whether it’s a work day or not. So all of a sudden we’ve got 60 punctures from six days work being condensed into four or three days,“ Graham said. “We stand around doing puncture repairs all day long and it’s not just Bob Jane getting punctures, it’s all the tyre shops in the area. So there is a lot of them at the moment.“ Graham said they also got a lot more punctures after heavy rain. “The rain seems to wash nails and screws onto the road or they get washed out of tradies’ utes as they’re driving along,“ he said. Graham said they got just as many punctures from husbands leaving screws around at home as they would from tradies leaving stuff on the road. “There has been situations, such as at the Gold Coast recently, where a whole box of screws fell off the back of a tradie’s ute and I think there was about 30 or 40 vehicles with damaged tyres.“ Graham said unfortunately, no one was immune from this occurring. “I’ve had both my rear tyre’s punctured on the same day, just through sheer bad luck,“ he said. “But if people keep their tyre pressures higher, they are less likely to have punctures.“ He said the average cost to repair a punctured tyre was between $35 and $40. “However, high performance tyres on prestige cars can run up to $70.“ Noosa police Sergeant Neil Ashley said despite the high amount of tyre punctures in Noosa, they hadn’t received any reports in regards to the matter. “Clearly it’s an offence not to secure your load,“ he said. “There is a problem with having injurious material on the road which can be dangerous for cyclists and motor users.“
Tyre shops in the Noosa region have been busy fixing large numbers of tyre punctures. Under the “insecure or overhanging load“ section of the road rules the Queensland Police Service confirms there could be a maximum penalty of 20 units, up to, $2200 or an instant $256 ticket fine. “People with utilities and trailers, if you’ve got loose items in those areas and you have a traffic accident then those items can become projectiles which can cause serious injury to people,“ Sgt Ashley said. “Another issue is you may be driving along
and items fall out, which can cause danger to other road users or pedestrians. We’ve had instances where things have jumped out of trailers when someone has hit a pothole then those things can pose a risk to someone who might be around that vehicle. “We’ve also had things like paint come out of cars and people run over the paint causing a lot of damage to vehicles. Not to mention, you’ve got other things like oil that can cause slippery conditions for motorists and can cre-
ate a dangerous situation. “For these reasons, it’s important to ensure your load is properly secured in your vehicle.“ Noosa Council Acting Infrastructure Services Director, Bryan O’Connor said many of the busier Council roads in the shire are swept either weekly or fortnightly. “If there are any concerns about nails being deliberately dropped on local roads then this matter should be referred to Queensland Police for investigation,“ Bryan said.
Road to recovery: Funding to boost jobs and economy Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien has welcomed the approval of funding for 10 road upgrade projects in Wide Bay, which will support 64 local jobs and improve road safety across the region. The Federal Liberal and Nationals Government has approved funding for projects in Noosa, Gympie, Cherbourg and the South Burnett as part of its $1.5 billion Local Road and Community Infrastructure Program.
“This new program will support jobs, construction businesses and economic growth across Wide Bay, and it will also improve road safety and bolster the resilience of our local road networks, improving access for freight, tourism and local road users,” Mr O’Brien said. Noosa Council will receive $790,346 towards the $790,346 project costs to upgrade drainage on Sobraon Street, supporting 6.8 full-time equivalent jobs.
“We will work closely with the Noosa, Gympie, South Burnett and Cherbourg councils to ensure local projects get underway, supporting jobs and businesses, and helping people in Wide Bay get home sooner and safer.” “Getting shovels in the ground on local construction projects is important for maintaining jobs and economic growth in Wide Bay, and every single job we support makes a huge difference in our local community as our economy recovers from the pandemic,”
Mr O’Brien said. “This funding boost from the Morrison Government is helping Councils to bring forward projects to get people into jobs and stimulate our economy,” Mr O’Brien said. “Communities have tackled drought, bushfires and Covid-19, and our Government is supporting practical projects to create employment and business opportunities while cutting travel times, as well as making our roads and communities safer.“

John Bowie dies at home By Phil Jarratt Just over three months since the protests of his many friends resulted in a quarantine exemption that allowed him to come home to die, John Bowie - the bloke in yellow - passed away at home in his beloved Noosa last week, surrounded by friends, his dog, Buster at his side, in the loving arms of wife Chris. A broken-hearted Chris Bowie told Noosa Today: “It was so amazing to spend the last three months saying goodbye to everyone. Our 45th wedding anniversary was on New Year’s Eve and I think he had that goal in mind, to be here for that. He was such a strong-willed man. I managed to get him to the beach or the river every day up until last weekend.” Born in West Wyalong, NSW in 1947, John grew up at the beach after his teacher father was transferred to Port Macquarie, and developed a lifelong love of surfing. He also became an excellent rugby player, joining Gordon Rugby Club in Sydney after he finished school, and later playing for the combined services team while serving in the RAAF at Williamtown. After his air force days he played first grade rugby for Stockton and Merewether, prompting an old Newcastle rugby hand to comment: “I can honestly say that pound for pound I never saw a better centre than John. His tackling and strength was unbelievable.” John met Chris in 1970 and they married on New Year’s Eve in 1975. She became a teacher, he a signwriter, and after a few years moving around, they made their home back in Port Macquarie, where John built their dream home in 1981. From an early age John had been a talented cartoonist, often doing funny drawings of his teachers in primary school. But at Port Macquarie he started cartooning in earnest and soon had black and white cartoons published in Australian Playboy, before progressing to full-page colour cartoons. This writer, who was Playboy editor at the time, was a particular fan of his work. The Bowies moved to Noosa in 2002 and, says Chris: “John started a love affair with the place that never waned. He loved the surf, the people, the strong sense of community, and he did his utmost to engage as many people as possible. Telling jokes and making people laugh was his main aim in life, all the while dressed in his sunny yellow outfits.” John was hard to miss around Noosa, pedaling his little yellow fold-up bike to beach or river every morning, usually with Buster in a trolley behind him, Chris bringing up the rear. Everyone he met was an instant mate, and his unfailing good humour was infectious. But the Bowies were rocked in the middle of last year when John was diagnosed with cancer, and after chemotherapy to reduce the tumour, they flew to Sydney for specialist surgery. Unfortunately the cancer was too advanced to be removed and John was given a

terminal prognosis. With little time left, John’s greatest wish was to get home to Noosa, so the Bowies applied for a hotel quarantine exemption but were rejected. That was when John’s army of Noosa mates stepped up. After their “Yellow Shirts For John” Main Beach protest hit the headlines, the case was reviewed and John came home to say his goodbyes. I said mine one beautiful spring morning, at John’s spot, just along from the lifeguard tower. A smiling presence despite the tubes and the oxygen tank, he leaned in and said, “Wouldn’t be dead for quids, eh!” That combination of sunny disposition, wicked humour and tremendous courage is what his many friends will remember. Vale, John Bowie, a life well lived. (Sincere thanks to Chris Bowie for assistance in the preparation of this article.)

Happy hens make a home By Margaret Maccoll Despite being a working farm for more than a century it was a growing interest in locally produced food in just the past few years that made farm gate trade a success and lifted the profile of the region’s family farm. That Dragonfruit are in season and plentiful on the farm this month seems appropriate for a farm named Dragan but it is not the reason behind the name of the family run farm operated by Alexi Cox and Mark Dragan. The fifth generation 90-acre farm is located just 10 minutes west of Peregian Beach Village and owned by Alexi’s mum who allows her 40 cattle to roam the property like pets and they in turn keep the grass down. Alexi and Mark use nine acres of the property to run their free-ranging chickens and grow a range of produce including dragonfruit, watermelon, bananas and lemons. The low-key operation doesn’t rely on seasonal workers but on family and locals. Mark does the fruit and veg with family help and neighbour Mike helps out in the paddocks and works with the chickens, Alexi said. Another local, beekeeper Alan Dellaway identified the farm as an ideal spot for his bee hives and the farm now sells his honey in its store. Alexi said the farm has about 1000 chickens which are housed in mobile containers from which they roam during the day. Every two days the chickens mobile homes move on to a fresh paddock to peck and wander. “They’re pretty happy,“ she said. “They don’t go too far from their homes.“ Alexi said the chickens were protected from predatory wild dogs and dingoes by an electric fence but attacks from above from birds of prey the greatest threat to the fowl. The family only began selling produce directly from the farm 5-6 years ago when young son Lenny set up a roadside stall selling eggs.

Over the years people have become more interested in knowing where their food comes and having a farm so close to an urban community has become a most welcome asset. Alexi said the neighbours encouraged Lenny and the shop just took off. In addition to their own produce Dragan Farm began sourcing local produce to fill demand. “Always organic and local“ was the criteria, Alexi said. Their farm store now opens three days a week and stocks a range of fruit and vegetables. They have recently expanded further with the installation of refrigeration and stock Eumundi meats and Shore to Shore locally caught wild seafood. Last September Dragan farm installed a vending machine to dispense eggs, honey and recently dragonfruit seven days a week. Dragan Farm is on Old Emu Mountain Rd, Peregian Beach.

A former fly in-fly out mines driller who recently graduated from USC with a psychology degree is taking his career change even further in 2021 after getting into medicine. Brad Lines, 33, of Landsborough, has been accepted into his first preference - Griffith University’s Doctor of Medicine program at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH). “To get a place in this program is amazing,” he said. “My wife Sam works at SCUH as a nurse and we have family nearby, which will be wonderful for our baby daughter and an essential support for us over the next four years. “I didn’t know that a career in medicine was an option for me as a mature-age student without an OP score until I began studying at USC, which helped me identify my strengths and gave me the confidence to pursue the goal of becoming a medical doctor.” Brad joins two fellow USC 2020 graduates whose paths to postgraduate medicine in 2021 differ from the usual USC Bachelor of Medical Science, linked to the SCUH program. Biomedical Science graduates Theo Mostert, of Glenview, and Rees Telford, of Nambour, plan to move to New South Wales this year after they were accepted into medicine at the University of Notre Dame and the University of Sydney respectively. While COVID-19 restrictions may delay their travel plans, the 21-year-olds are looking forward to their studies. “I’m super excited,” said Theo, a graduate of Fraser Coast Anglican College. “My dad is a doctor and I idolised (science commentator) Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. USC gave me a fantastic foundation, with Biomedical Science preparing me for medical entry exams and interviews.” Rees, a graduate of St John’s College Nambour, said he was stoked with three offers and keen to learn about all areas of medicine. “I’ve been working part-time at Noosa Hospital’s emergency department and that’s given me the idea of a career in retrieval medicine (emergency patient response often via helicopter).” Brad, who attended high schools on the Sunshine Coast and Proserpine, last year
Theo Mostert, Rees Telford and Brad Lines farewelling the USC campus at Sippy Downs. earned USC’s top award, the Chancellor’s Medal, for his outstanding voluntary service as well as academic achievement. He also worked at USC as an Ability Adviser. “I enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Science (psychology) to work to improve people’s mental health in therapeutic settings,” he said. “I discovered it was possible for me to be-
come a doctor. My undergraduate GPA and my GAMSAT score met the requirements for an interview at Griffith University and everything progressed from there. “I am confident my initial nerves will fade once I sink my teeth into Semester 1. I’m looking forward to meeting the people I’ll be studying with for the next four years, as we examine the life of a doctor.”
Fightback starts against fall armyworm The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) has received approval to import a biopesticide for research purposes, marking a significant step in the fight to combat fall armyworm (FAW). Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the Federal Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) approval to import Fawligen meant the Queensland Government could start working on management packages for impacted industries. “Since the initial detection of FAW in Australia in January 2020, DAF has worked closely with industry to find ways to address the threat posed by this voracious invasive pest to
Queensland’s agriculture industry,” Mr Furner said. “Fawligen is a biopesticide targeting the FAW caterpillar which ingests virus particles, becomes infected and dies, spreading the virus to other FAW larvae in the crop. “DAF first applied in March 2020 to bring Fawligen, which is produced in the US by Australian company AgBiTech, into Australia. “Getting DAWE’s approval to import Fawligen, a naturally occurring caterpillar virus which targets FAW, is a key step forward as it has the potential to be a game changer for producers.” Mr Furner said having access to Fawligen would allow DAF researchers to immediately
commence small scale work with AgBiTech to assess its performance on FAW populations, under local conditions and in various crops. “This will generate information for an Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Authority (APVMA) regulatory submission,” Mr Furner said. “Natural biological control agents, like Fawligen, reduce grower reliance on conventional insecticides for FAW control, reducing the risk of insecticide resistance development. “Another significant advantage of this biopesticide is that it only kills the FAW and is non-toxic to beneficial organisms including honeybees and beneficial natural enemies such as spiders, wasps and ladybeetles.”
Free USC course can open doors With many adults reassessing their career options as 2021 begins, USC is offering those looking to upskill or reskill a free course as an introduction to higher education. The two-day University Skills for You course will be held at USC’s Sippy Downs campus on 19-20 January. University Skills for You coordinator Liz Davison said the course was ideal for anyone contemplating university or TAFE study this year who is unsure about what’s involved. This USC course presents an obligation-free and cost-free opportunity for people looking towards university study as an option,” Ms Davison said. Facilitated by experienced USC advisers, it caters for people aged 18 years and older who may have not formally studied for many years or did not finish high school. “There are no tests, assignments or exams,” Ms Davison said. “Instead, the emphasis is on helping people build their confidence and develop new academic skills in a supportive group learning environment.” Another key focus is helping people to recognise the transferable skills they have gained from work and life experience. “They are then taught how to turn this formal and informal learning into academic reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking skills,” she said. At the end of the course, participants will explore their higher education pathway options and can arrange to have individual sessions with USC advisers to help develop study and career plans. Workbooks are provided for free and there are no tuition fees. Places are limited and registration is essential. To register go to www.usc.edu.au/us4c or email pathways@usc.edu.au.

PLANET OF TREASURES SBS, 7.30pm
Lately, when we talk about humans’ effects on the Earth, it’s in terms of deforestation, pollution and climate change. This six-part series looks on the bright side of history, highlighting some of the planet’s greatest testaments to human ingenuity. The tour of man-made masterpieces is led by historian Sir Christopher Clark (pictured left). Tonight, he’s in South-East Asia, uncovering the cultural wealth of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple complex, the old royal cities of Hue in Vietnam and Luang Prabang in Laos.

BOWLED OVER: UNTOLD AUSTRALIA SBS, 8.40pm
The documentary series coming out of the SBS studios of recent years just keep getting better. They aren’t afraid to tackle the hard truths but always have the human story at the heart. In this latest Untold Australia series, the stand-alone documentaries delve into some of Australia’s most unique communities. Tonight, we meet a colourful troupe of drag queens who helped save the North Ipswich lawn bowls club from financial ruin, thanks to the spectacular success of their monthly shows there. But now, Crystal Heart (pictured above), Wanda d’Parke and Candy Featherbottom are fighting to save their own careers and dreams.
SUNDAY
GRAND DESIGNS: HOUSE OF THE YEAR ABC TV, 7.40pm
If your own lockdown-inspired renovation projects sit around you half-finished, you’d be best to tune into this new Grand Designs four-part series to get the boost to finish the job, if for nothing more than to put things into perspective. Host Kevin McCloud (pictured right) is in his element here as he visits contenders for Royal Institute of British Architects House of the Year Award. In his trademark manner, which teeters on the edge of supportive and dismissive, McCloud won’t hold back his critiques as he tours homes in the ‘experimental’ category tonight, of which all the builders aim to stand out of the crowd.
Director Mike Newell (Donnie Brasco) and writer Richard Curtis (Love, Actually, Notting Hill) brought back old-fashioned eloquence and rocky-road romance with this delightful story of London bachelor Charles (Hugh Grant) and his repeatedly blighted efforts to win the woman of his dreams, American Carrie (Andie MacDowell). Well-defined characters and sharp, witty dialogue propel this nuptial nightmare to its welcomely satisfying ending. Kristin Scott Thomas, Simon Callow and John Hannah, in a star-making turn, make excellent supporting contributions.

Alternative view After reading various versions of history in your paper, I feel compelled to send these reader views of proceedings in part of Noosa as printed in Noosa Citizen in 1994. Graeme Lenton, Sunshine Beach
LENSCAPE
Thanks heaps (letter appeared in Noosa Citizen (12/10/1994) Thanks to Noosa Waters for cutting down the forest and replacing it with a pseudo Mediterranean housing estate. Thanks to Noosa Waters for all the dead koalas found on the site during the initial clear felling. Thanks to Noosa Waters for the asthma attacks and the black soot on our washing, during your midnight burn-offs. (cheaper than recycling). Thanks to Noosa Waters for dividing our recreation park with your canal. Thanks for costing ratepayers money defending your selfish court appeal, because you won’t accept the will of the people. Please stop pretending that your plans are about benefiting the community. They are not. They are about profit. Thanks to Noosa Council for doing all they can to keep the circling sharks at bay. We are going to have a new shopping centre in Noosaville. It is enough. Thanks to Noosa shopkeepers for providing good quality shopping and preserving Noosa’s village lifestyle. Small is good. Darryl Fry, Sunshine Beach
Choose another venue Why has the busy Noosa Leisure Centre been converted to a Covid Testing Station when schools are all empty for the Summer Holidays and could be used with far less impact? The Leisure Centre hosts all sorts of sports and activities and is in use practically all day. Its conversion to a Testing Station will adversely affect many people for whom it normally provides physical and social interaction. Adrian Prince, Peregian Beach
Shock at church development I was shocked when I heard that the church is behind the proposed aged care facility at sunrise. -- And how come a Biosphere Council approved it? How is it possible that a Church could kill God’s creatures? That it could commit a violent act against thousands of animals ( insects etc ) and plants and destroy the home of the cockatoos and other birds? Yogis understand that Covid 19 is a reaction, an echo of Nature against humans and their destruction of this planet. If you kill you will also get killed. They recommend repentance and planting trees. Do not contribute to the imbalance of the Earth, Churches don’t do that, only greedy businesses do. Protector of the Earth and Wildlife Angie Billenstein, Tewantin
Bring back the brollie Hey Noosa main beach, what happen to the humble beach umbrella, hopefully this cabana trend isn’t the norm from now on, as I
Leanne Airey sent us this photograph of this lovely sight at Lake Cootharaba last Wednesday. “I was up very early and it was so nice to see such a lovely start to the day early this morning. It would have been a shame to have missed the glorious start to the day,” she said. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au would like to see the sand. P Newall, Cooroibah
Trailer parks needed Can I make the suggestion that the Council open up Chaplain Park (which sadly lost its ‘dog off leash’ status and is now a waste of unused space) for boat trailer storage during our very busy Christmas time. Many streets, in particular Noosa Parade are littered with boat trailers. The Council could charge a small fee and have the storage overseen by someone from the Council. Judy Davies, Noosa
Trevor’s Ghost “Life of Brine” used to be the first article I read
every week and I love it, always loved it. Now it’s “Tucker with Trevor” I read first and I am so intrigued by that guy that I have to ask you WHO is the ghostwriter? Who is the one travelled the world for decades, familiarising himself with Michelin hats? I wonder. His reviews are so honest and direct, e.g. “house wine please”, and funny.

Trumped As a young boy in the UK we were always taught to watch our ps and qs in describing certain happenings or events in every day life. One comes to mind recently because of whats on every TV channel every minute is whenever anyone broke wind we were told to say politely he/she had just trumped. Later we learned it was farted and describes it better. Which then the usual laugh or quiet giggle followed. Trump in the news at the moment could be better described as a big fart but no laughs or giggles as this one is more like Mt Versuvius with the damage its done or could still do if they can’t find a cork bigger enough to block its flow.

Social media giants need new rules that meet Australian community expectations, according to Reset Australia. “It’s time for social media to grow up and accept public oversight is coming,“ executive director of Reset Australia, Chris Cooper said. “Regardless of how we use social media, or whether we use it at all - we are all affected by the current lack of accountability.” The Australian affiliate of a global initiative to counter digital threats to democracy backs the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s call for new rules about how the platforms can operate, sparked after the tech giants closed Donald Trump’s social media accounts. “Regulating social media is a tricky policy issue. But if we start from a position that these decisions shouldn’t be left to a few
tech billionaires with no accountability then we’re on the right path.“ Mr Cooper said the likes of Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are not neutral platforms or democratic public squares, but curated spaces where algorithms supercharge sensational and conspiratorial content to keep audiences engaged for longer. “Social media has supercharged conspiracy theories and misinformation, pushing some of people into echo chambers where false information is all they see. “We don’t have oversight on how these algorithms operate, only that they amplify the most sensationalist content to keep us online and keep the platforms making mega bucks from our engagement.“ New rules for social media need to come with greater transparency and understanding of how these algorithms operate and the
extent of misinformation and hate speech online. Reset Australia has been campaigning for a Live List, which would see digital platforms compelled to maintain a list of the most viral covid-related URLs being shared on the platforms. This list could be used by public health officials, journalists, and academics to effectively track and trace misinformation online and then better target public health messaging. “Australian authorities and the Australian public should be able to answer questions like: What kind of content is being amplified by these platforms? Who made it? What kind of demographics are consuming it? To do that we need a live list of the most contentious issues our society is facing, so we can begin to tackle misinformation collectively and transparently.”

Cool savings: Summer tips By Zero Emissions Noosa How do you cool your home, save money and reduce your emissions? Follow these 10 steps from the Australian Energy Foundation to keep your house cool, reduce your energy bill and help save the planet by reducing emissions. When using your air conditioner, set your temperature wisely by setting your thermostat to cool at 23-26 degrees in summer. Every degree higher can reduce your running costs by 10 percent. Use fans only for some welcome cooling air, or use them with your air conditioner to help circulate the conditioned air. Fans cost only $5-$20 per season to run, so using them as much as possible helps lower your energy bill. Install your outdoor air conditioner unit in a shady place, or protect it from direct sun-

Case study: Noosa Meat Centre Steve Young highly recommends investing in solar and an energy management solution to provide energy security for your business and to also reduce your electricity costs. Steve and Stacey Young, owners of Noosa Meat Centre, found that their business operations were regularly tripping the mains power supply, especially when the smoker ovens were fired up. The business has three smoker ovens, several cold rooms, freezers, window display units and freezer pack cabinets all requiring power. The issue of losing power posed a major risk to their business interrupting retail service to the public and shutting down all

light with an awning. This helps it run more efficiently and protects it from overheating. Do regular maintenance using the maintenance schedule contained in your air conditioner’s manual. This prevents many energysapping or expensive-to-fix issues before they begin. Clean the filter regularly. Clogged filters make your air conditioner work much harder to produce the same effect. For optimum energy use, clean or replace them every 1-2 months. This can lower your air conditioner’s energy use and costs by 5-15 percent. Only cool occupied areas. Use room sensors (available with most current air conditioners) to automatically lower conditioning in unoccupied rooms or program your air conditioner to only cool often-used areas. If your air conditioner doesn’t have smart controls, set a timer to turn off your aircon after a period of time, or turn it off when you equipment. According to Steve, “By installing solar and an energy management solution, we have resolved the power supply issue by reducing demand on the power grid, while also avoiding the cost of upgrading the Energex transformer in the area. The installation of the solar system has also resulted in a reduction in electricity costs.” Steve & Stacey Young’s award-winning Noosa Meat Centre has been located on Eumundi-Noosa Road in Noosaville since 2014, and operates 5.5 days per week.

temperatures low. In an open plan home, use a door curtain in hallways to keep in cool air. If you live in a climate where nights are cool, open your windows at night to take advantage of cooler evening air.All of the above tips are convenient and require little commitment or up-front cost. However, if you’re looking for significant (40 percent or more) savings on your electricity bill, take the steps below and save thousands in the long run. Insulate your house. This is the most cost-effective way to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your home. A fully insulated home compared to a non-insulated home can reduce the cost of cooling a home by 40 to 50 percent. Buy an energy-efficient split-system air con-
ditioner. If you have a ducted air conditioner system, you’re spending $100-$300 more per season than you need to. Energy-efficient split-system air conditioners are cheaper to buy and install, and also cheaper to run at only $20-$75 per year. If your split system aircon is over 10 years old, there’s also a good chance you’ll save with a new energy-efficient split system air conditioner. Go Solar. This is the biggest investment, but it also gives the biggest savings by far. Solar systems save their owners 30-60 percent on their energy bills, and pay for themselves in 3-7 years.

Channelling the Artastic It’s Artastic time again! Noosa Arts and Crafts’ annual Art Sale sees our members fill Wallace House with their artwork. This year Artastic will also be a celebration of the life of its founder and life member Tricia Bradford who died in May 2020. Tricia was a dynamic force within the art world and local community. Awarded a Queensland medal for her services to art in the community in 2015, she will long be remember as an inspirational artist and mentor. Local art should always to be celebrated it is an important activity not only for the artist but also the viewer. Art is an expression of thoughts and observations by the artist which in turn inspires differing interpretations and emotions in the viewer. We aspire to channel
Tricia’s Artastic spirit throughout the year. The Artastic sale features all media - from acrylics to watercolour and from ceramics to fabric art. This weekend event was originally created by Tricia to not only showcase the outstanding work of our members but also to give visitors a chance to chat to the artists while experiencing our centre for creativity at its best. Wallace House has undergone major renovations and made great strides towards reducing its carbon footprint with the addition of solar panels. Our Ceramic Centre is now a light, airy and efficient work space for members. After a long period of inactivity, with renovations and Covid-19 restrictions, the
kilns are once again firing and our ceramicists back working. Each participating artist will have space to display their work. Visitors will be able to stroll around the gallery and rooms at their leisure and perhaps enjoy some freshly-baked goodies in our Pop-up Cafe served on our sunny verandah. An Artastic chance to immerse yourself in creativity for an hour or two. We are justifiably proud of our members for their wide-ranging and innovative skills which they willingly share for us all to enjoy. The Tricia Bradford Memorial Artastic Art Sale will be at Wallace House, 1 Wallace Drive, Noosaville on January 23 and 24 from 9am to 3pm.
Young artists disrupt the arts scene After the widely successful first 40 Under 40 Exhibition, which saw 450 people pre-covid cram into the Butter Factory Arts Centre in Cooroy, the second exhibition is promised to rival the first. Artist, art student and curator Amanda Bennetts created the exhibition and event after being disheartened by the lack of opportunity for younger artists on the Sunshine Coast. The exhibition aims to showcase the local young, vibrant and talented art scene in the region by incredible artists who are 40 years old and under. The visual arts, surf/skate culture and music scene are incredibly intertwined on the Sunshine Coast. Amanda believes this unique Coast culture should be nurtured, promoted and funded for the benefit of the greater community. However the exhibition opening is not your typical art cheese and wine event. Amanda and her co-creator and fellow artist Prudence Swann wanted to create an opening event that is inclusive to those who aren’t regulars in the arts community. “Our opening event is promised to be on the fringe and fresh,“ Amanda said. “We are going for the anti-art opening vibe with a bar stocked with drink from Land & Sea Brewery, art demonstrations, local bands Old Home and Cupid and the Stupids, dancers, DJ, street food, and poets lined up for this mini arts festival to kick off the exhibition.“ This year’s exhibition sees the inclusion of The Bentleys’ 40 Under 40 Art prize, which will see some of our most talented young artists awarded and recognised for their achievements in the arts. Brendon Murray, partner at Bentleys Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors said, “Bentleys is proud to help to foster young artists to help enrich the fabric of the culture in our hinterland community. Without art, culture and community we are just a group of houses where we survive rather than thrive.“ 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 15 January, 2021

Amanda Bennetts and Prue Swann prepare for the exhibition.
Alicia Sharples, the Coordinator of The Butter Factory Arts Centre, said art practices are not limited to the older generation, but the demographics on the Sunshine Coast has traditionally seen the older generation of artists exhibit. “Amanda Bennett’s recent successful Regional Development Arts Fund through Noosa Council has enabled the second exhibition and art prize to be held at BFAC in January and February 2021,“ Alicia said.
“It is exciting to be co-curating and collaborating with Amanda on this dynamic and edgy show. “The work expected will include many disciplines including but not limited to ceramics, jewellery, printmaking, installation, photo art and new media“. This unique exhibition will be held from 15 January to 14 February, with the opening night on Friday 15 January at 6pm.
Taking time for live band It’s a welcome return to Tewantin Noosa RSL for five-piece Noosa band The Claptomaniacs, one of the most popular club bands on the Coast. Like every other club, Tewantin has undergone a challenging year in 2020, but the Claptomaniacs event, which starts at 7pm, marks the beginning of a return to (near-) normal for the popular venue in entertainment, while the usual Covid precautions still apply. The Claptomaniacs, meanwhile, have been chipping the rust off their repertoire in preparation for 2021, opening their return account with a New Year’s Eve gig at Sunshine Beach Surf Club, and have added a few new numbers to their set lists. As always, the band focuses on transatlantic sounds primarily from the 70s and 80s, picking memorable material not often played on local hits’n’memories radio, but well-remembered by those who grew up with the music - along with a lot of younger people who have taken to enjoying the sounds of that era. So if the likes of (UK) Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, and (US) the Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan and the Steve Miller Band are your cup of musical tea, head on down to Tewantin Noosa RSL’s Bistro bar on Friday, January 15 and get your fill of high-quality tight sounds from one of Noosa’s best. It might also be wise to book a table ahead, which you can do on 5447 1766. The Claptomaniacs will play at Tewantin Noosa RSL, Memorial Ave, Tewantin on Friday January 15 at 7pm.

Pam Taylor will be displaying ’A Walk in the Park’ in the Carriage Room, with paintings that are full of colour, reflecting her determination to heal. “This exhibition is a visual story about my journey during and after knee surgery that I went through almost two years ago to replace both my knees,“ Pam said. “The recovery was not a walk in the park, but I eventually did walk on the beautiful new boardwalk from Noosa Beach to Noosa National Park, almost, with determination, this was my aim and what I was working towards. “This same walk I have since taken several times, but one evening at sunset, I was entranced by the colour reflections of the trees and shadows cast from the foliage and architectural structures of the timber and steel handrails.“

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
Dining with the Joneses Trevor Pepys reviews Mr Jones and Me “And we all want something beautiful, man I wish I was beautiful,” Trev started humming involuntarily as he passed under the facade of Mr Jones & Me into the stylish but laidback interior of this much-renovated but ever-classy cottage at the river end of Weyba Road, on one of many recent rainy Noosaville nights. Reopened after a shocker of a 2020, with Covid closures, renos gone wrong and a burst pipe causing untold pain (that’s Mr Jones, not me), Paul and Ferne Lammens’ chic bistro is looking welcoming again, but with a history like this building’s, what else would you expect! Once Durham’s bait and tackle shop, dating back to the ‘30s, the old fishing shack first gained local infamy in the 1960s when its owners gave it a bit of a tart-up and opened as Dial-a-Bird, which was when the young and frisky Trev rocked up full of fizz and was disappointed in the extreme to learn that they were offering not chicky-babes but chicken dinners. But the place got its first dose of real fame as Anita’s in the late ‘80s, when Anita Lane and partner Peter Bain opened it as a brilliant little BYO, serving truly innovative dishes like Anita’s Ajillo prawns and avocado and grapefruit salad. Trev salivates over the memory, so let’s quickly jump to the more recent past, like a few rainy nights ago. It still being maxed-out holiday season despite the weather, and perhaps because of the impending Brisbane lockdown, we had to take an early sitting too soon after lunch for Trev’s liking, but it only took a brief purview of the menu to get him hungry again. We ordered a bruschetta ($12) to nibble while surveying the wine list, which, while not extensive, is interesting but sadly starts around the high $40s. But, Trev feeling expansive and in a bit of a white wine mood, ordered the Principato 2018 Pinot Grigio ($56) and to hell with it. Indulgent, si, but if you can find this beauty from the foothills of the Dolomites in the bottle shop, which is unlikely you won’t get any change out of $30, so the mark-up is reasonable. and it’s a fresh, fruity, true gold standard of the style. But a quick word about the bruschetta before we move on. Shoving some chopped tomato, red onion and basil on a chunk of ciabatta is not rocket science, but it’s surprising how ordinary this simple starter often is. This was perfect - fresh and flavoursome. We skipped the entrees and made straight for the mains, the missus opting for the sesame crusted salmon ($35), which was my first pick, served with pea puree, greens, potato gratin and a caper and pine nut topper, but I agreed to the choice with the usual stipulation that we share. Trev went for the crispyskinned pork belly ($34) with Asian noodle

Mr Jones & Me at sunset. salad and fresh herbs. Now, as loyal Tucker readers well know, it goes somewhat against the grain for Trev to find nothing to whine about, even if it is only the price of the wine, but here at the Jones’s the service, from hostess Ferne on down, was impeccable - friendly, efficient and paced just so. And if the simple pleasure of the bruschetta hadn’t already got us, the first succulent forkloads of the salmon and the pork belly certainly achieved that. The salmon needed a squirt of lemon, which was forthcoming within a nanosecond of being requested. Then it was perfect. A beautiful piece of fish, cooked and presented just so, with all the flavours of the accompaniments melding into a great dish, simple and fresh. The pork belly, ditto. All flavours present and accounted for, no teeth broken in negotiating the skin. We shared a cr&egrave;me brulee ($13) because we still had half a glass of pinot to be going on with, we were having fun and we still had 15 minutes left of our sitting, not that anyone was even hinting that we should be calling for the bill. Not to be boring, but in taste and presentation, this classic dessert was about as good as it gets.

The verdict: Apart from the slightly twee love story on the opening page - “It all started with a song” -- you know from simply opening the menu that this dining experience is going to be good, but just how good caught Trev by surprise. He left in high good humour, singing the words of the Counting Crows’ classic: Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones Believe in me Help me believe in anything ’Cause I wanna be someone who believes.

Cabana trend takes over By Abbey Cannan The humble beach umbrella has been blown away by the massive rise in popularity of cabanas, making it hard for some to spot the sand at Noosa Main Beach. As Noosa local Paul Newall puts it, “Hopefully this cabana trend isn’t the norm from now on, as I would like to see the sand.“ Despite the concern, CoolCabana stockists at Paradise Lifestyle in Noosa Hastings Street said the trend was here to stay. “The cabana trend has changed the beach landscape forever,“ a staff member said. “I think it’s a pretty serious turning point for beach-goers because it allows you to stay at the beach for longer.“ He said sales on cabanas had gone through the roof compared to previous years. “We’re selling out most of the time, it’s been hard to get stock. The demand has exploded massively this year.“ Although the beach trend only seemed to be taking off as of recent, the CoolCabana has been around for five years. “It was designed locally on Little Cove Beach by an award-winning New Zealand architect Mark Fraser,“ Paradise Lifestyle staff said. “He was watching people dealing with umbrellas and them blowing away from the wind and he started sketching it at Little Cove. So I think that’s a really nice local aspect to it as well. “They’re more stable than umbrellas and they’ve got the vents in the top of the canopy which allows air to pass through the top more easily. Since it’s anchored in five spots, it’s a lot more stable rather than simple anchored in one point.“ For the people complaining about cabanas taking over Noosa Main Beach, Paradise Lifestyle staff said to just buy one and join the party. “They just have Cabana envy,“ he said. Noosa Council Acting Community Services Director, Ash Saward said generally speaking, beach shelters aren’t deemed to pose an issue so long as they’re being used in a reasonable manner to provide shade and shelter for beachgoers. “If cabanas or gazebos have been erected as part of an event and are of concern for some reason, Council is able to investigate whether they comply with the required permit conditions,“ Ash said. Paradise Lifestyle staff said the good thing about the CoolCabana was that you can see through it to what’s in front of you. “So even if you’re sitting behind someone with it on the beach, you can generally see through it to the beach which I think is really nice,“ he said. “I encourage people to always use sunscreen as well but they are all UPF 50 rated which is the highest rating design standard for fabric.“ Paradise Lifestyle have partnered with CoolCabanas to create a fun competition where they are giving away: One Large CoolCabana, a CoolCabana Grass Kit, a CoolCabana Beach Mat and a Paradise Lifestyle Gift Voucher valued at $300.

Volunteering a proven way to boost our wellbeing From making us happier and improving our health, to increasing our sense of personal satisfaction, the benefits of volunteering are boundless. University of Sydney’s Associate Professor Dr Michael Bowen is an expert on the effects of brain chemicals and said that helping others triggered the reward pathway in the brain, releasing ‘feel-good’ neurotransmitters such as oxytocin. “The buzz you get from these neurotransmitters is sometimes known as ’the helper’s high’,” Dr Bowen said.
So what are you waiting for? There are plenty of opportunities available to volunteer at Bankfoot House Heritage Precinct in the Glasshouse Mountains where weekend Visitor Experience Guides are needed. Sunshine Coast Council’s Cultural Heritage Coordinator Peter Connell said volunteers didn’t need any specific skills, just an interest in history and people. “We give full on-the-job training, so just a desire to learn, enthusiasm and the ability to engage with others is all potential volunteers need,” Mr Connell said.
“We receive applications from University or TAFE students looking to further their careers or research studies, retirees wanting to connect with and help the community and those with a passion for heritage. “Volunteers become part of an amazing network and receive free workshops, annual bus trips and many other opportunities to learn and participate in our heritage.” Volunteers can choose from one of the many exciting roles in Museums and Heritage on the Sunshine Coast including: event assistant

The serious business of dance.
Pictures: ROB MACCOLL
Forward step, back step.
Stepping up with Andrew By Margaret Maccoll An afternoon of dance may sound like a bit of fun and it is but many are finding out about its wide-ranging benefits. Andrew Hansen grew up going to country dances with his parents in Gayndah and dancing the night away himself as a young man but never imagined himself running dance classes decades later. But 20 years ago he decided to return to the Old Time dance of his youth. He discovered New Vogue dancing had largely taken over the ballroom dance scene and he had to learn quite a lot of new steps. Dances such as The Pride of Erin had been replaced by the Gypsy Tap, Tangos and Swing Waltz. Andrew was quick to pick up the sequence dances and when his dance teacher left to mind someone else’s goats on a NSW farm and didn’t return he quickly stepped into the role. With an incredible memory for dance steps Andrew can recall and teach about 200 dances. He began running classes at Tinbeerwah Hall, then Cooroy and for the past 10 years found the ideal location at the Tewantin Masonic Hall. “I love it. It’s a good pastime,“ Andrew said. Last Sunday as the afternoon light filtered through the north-facing windows of the Masonic Hall Andrew walked about a dozen couples through a series of dances before the music came on and away they went. It was a diverse group that turned up for the first class of 2021. For one couple the dance
LLEW O’BRIEN
class was their first visit, others were regular attendees and some were serious competitors. “There are different people at different levels,“ Andrew said. “It’s a good fun thing to do. It’s the best exercise to ward off dementia.“ One participant agreed it was good for the brain, as well as good for the body, the posture and good fun. Another told how it had given him the confidence to be in the spotlight at dance competitions, an experience he would never have previously entertained. The benefits of ballroom dance are backed up by a growing body of research. A study by Abreu et.al. that appeared in the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy explored the effects of dance, confirming its benefits to physical and mental health. Several studies have explored the effects of dance on mental health, balance, fall risk, and function. Even individuals with serious mental illness have showed significant improvements in anxiety, depression, balance and confidence, led to reductions in the use of therapeutic doses of some psychotropic medications and improvements in mood, selfexpression and mental processes. While dance is rapidly being adopted as a medicine for better health for most of Andrew’s dancers on Sunday it was a fun way to spend the afternoon.Andrew’s dance classes are held on Sundays from 12.30pm at the Tewantin Masonic Hall, Moorindil Street, Tewantin. They can also be found Thursday mornings from 9.30am to 1pm at Woombye Hall and at Pomona every fourth Friday with a dance from 7pm on 22 January.

After studying for three years in Melbourne Kristian returned home to the Sunshine Coast and began his venture. Kristian said the majority of the business was for adults with most people booking in for four classes and going away with 10 to 15 works of pottery, while others opt for the all day workshops and enjoy a lunch at nearby Vanilla Cafe.

Employer recognition at RSL A welcome start to the New Year, Tewantin Noosa RSL has been recognised with an award as part of EPIC Assist’s Supportive Employer Recognition Plan. This plan recognises organisations who are committed to providing employment opportunities for people with disability and creating a supportive and inclusive working environment for all. EPIC’s Supportive Employer Recognition Plan was launched in October 2020 as a way of recognising and rewarding long term, inclusive employers. Employers are awarded a level depending on the years they have worked with EPIC, number of participants they have employed, and number of current participants. Tewantin Noosa RSL qualified as a Silver member, having worked with EPIC Assist for a decade and employing over seven participants, 50 per cent of whom are currently employed. “We are very excited by this recognition, particularly as it reflects some of the core values of the club of being inclusive and creating a supporting environment for our community,” said General Manager Julie McLaws.

Pelagics filter through What a mixed bag of weather we have seen this week. As predicted last week the spotties have started to show up along with the Spanish. Although not in large numbers they are definitely up on the last week. With this rain and the new moon the Noosa River will be flushing bait into the bay which means the reefies will be chewing too. Offshore those boats who struck it lucky have found trolled gar, slimy and floated pillies have been getting the bite on the mackerel. The bite has been on and off so moving around has been very important, especially around the busier Sunshine reef areas. Trolled hard bodies like the ever popular Halco Laser Pro and Rapala Magnum are also working well. If you are looking for a quick way to change lures offshore the Mustad Fastatch with swivel clip are perfect and very strong. The tuna are about and there are some bigger 10kg plus fish about so its always worth pitching a pilchard into the school if you don’t have a metal lure on. We can always tell when the fishing is getting better as mackerel lures fly off the shelves. Be sure to grab some on your next visit as the fish aren’t too far away. Reef fishing around North Reef is also productive although sharks are plentiful at times. Besides the odd mackerel there have been a few tuna, sweetlip, tuskies and snapper. With a reduction in current the old school pilchard floater has been getting the job done. The beauty of this method is hooking up mid water gives you a better chance of getting your fish to the boat. Keep burley trails light and have a couple of baits dropping at different times to ensure the water column is getting properly fished. Away from the offshore scene, the beaches have been pretty quiet. The water clarity is yet to clear up with the rain and swell. Trying around the river mouth on the last of the run in tide will see the clearest of water and the turn in the flow is often a great trigger for fish to feed. Try oily baits like fresh mullet, slimy and small pilchards. For lure anglers smaller 3 inch soft plastics and shallow diving lures are a great option. The shallower Atomic jerk minnow will be great over the flats and be sure to secure a flathead or two. The Noosa River will be fishing better closer to the mouth after the steady rainfall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The continued run off will see the fish moving downstream to find saltier waters. The bait will also get pushed downriver making areas like the Noosa Sound, Gympie Terrace, The Frying Pan and Woods Bays ideal for anyone looking to try their luck. Keep in mind next week we will see a

Pictures: WWW.FISHINGNOOSA.COM.AU new moon and with that the currents will be strong. If you are crabbing be sure to have pots weighted down and keep them closer to the sides of the river. While we have fresh mullet be sure to grab a couple as the head and frame makes an excellent crab bait and then you have 2 fillets for fishing. With the big spring tides early next week be sure to have pots tied off and not out in the open as they will get dragged. Many anglers fish at night and pot floats in the channel often cause entanglement with outboard motors and pots are then lost. Lure anglers should take a look at the new Chasebaits flick prawn in the smaller sizes. This size will suit the river very well and will be a hit while the fish aren’t committed to larger lures or baits. Drift fishing around the dog beach toward the river mouth should see some great flatties getting caught. Flicking the jetties should see you pull out a few estuary cod and trevally making the Noosa Sound a great starting point. Freshwater is fishing well and Borumba is reported to be low at under 80% capacity. Many anglers have come in contact with trees sitting just below the surface so caution must

Covid, rain dampen games By Randall Woodley All cricket matches in South-East Queensland were called off last weekend due to the Covid-19 Lockdowns in this area of the state. The wet weather would have stopped matches progressing even if Queensland Cricket had not made this decision. However, during the holiday period some of the local Tewantin-Noosa Club’s junior players were involved in cricket matches, representing the Sunshine Coast in various age groups and playing in state championships. One of these championships was the State Under 15 Summer Carnival which was played at Read Park Tewantin, Cooroy and Coolum ovals. Local TNT cricketers, Ethan Slaney (9 wickets) and Tom Daly (8 wickets) were the outstanding bowlers in their teams. Their team, Sunshine Coast won three of the five matches they played with the last being washed out. Next Saturday all the Thunder senior teams will play One-Day matches due to the cancellation of Day 1 of their two-day matches. With the season’s ladder very tight in all the grades, it will be important for every team to ensure they win their respective matches. GRADE 1: Currently the team is 4th on the ladder behind, Glasshouse, Maroochydore and Caboolture but well ahead of the fifth team. It is almost certain that these four teams will play-off in the semi-finals but the order in how they finish will be important. (Home semifinals etc.) Next Saturday the boys will play he Nambour Cutters who are running 6th, in a 50-overs a side match at Read Park. Then following will be games against Coolum (7th place), Caloundra (8th) and Caboolture (3rd.) The team that will take the field this Saturday will be one of the strongest of the season with middle order batsman and off-break bowler Dom Taylor returning from injury. GREDE 3: The Thirds have improved their position on the ladder and are now running second behind leaders Maroochydore Swans. This Saturday they are away to CooroyEumundi (4th Place) at their ground. After that they have matches against two top-four teams and will finish the season against 7th placed Glasshouse Rangers. GRADE 5: The boys have moved up the ladder and are sitting in 4th place. This weekend they are away to 7th placed Maleny which will be a very crucial match in the ladder placings. Their next two games are against teams lower than them on the ladder but their final game

is against Maroochydore who are top of the ladder. This match could be a rehearsal for the Grand Final. GRADE 6: The team has some big matches ahead to win if they are to figure in the semifinals in March. They are currently running

Australia and India pad up for Gabba Fourth Test The Australia versus India Fourth Test at the Gabba on Friday will go ahead. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said it was good news for Queensland cricket fans. “Like most elite events last year which saw Queensland host several sporting bubbles, COVID-19 has made preparing for Friday’s Test anything but routine,” the Premier said. “We’ll keep listening to the strong medical advice of the Chief Health Officer to keep Queenslanders safe and our economy strong. “The Fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Gabba is no exception.” Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said new health precautions would apply to the
Fourth Test at the Gabba. “These new precautions for the Gabba will allow the Test to continue safety and help us to protect Queenslanders and players,” Dr Young said. “These precautions for the fourth Test are consistent with the SCG and the MCG for the earlier Tests to reduce the risk of seeding COVID, particularly the new UK strain we’ve detected in Greater Brisbane,” Dr Young said. Sports Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said it was important people adhered to the rules to ensure a safe event. “These are small sacrifices to make to ensure we can enjoy cricket at the Gabba and keep Queenlsanders safe,” the Minister said.
“I want to thank Cricket Australia and the BCCI for working closely with the Chief Health Officer and the Queensland Government to make this a COVID-safe Test. “With the extraordinary spirit of cooperation behind the scenes, I’m confident we’re going to witness a great Test at the Gabba this week.” Nick Hockley, CA’s Interim CEO, said the ongoing safety of fans, staff, players, broadcast partners and match officials is the number one priority ahead of the fourth Vodafone Test in Brisbane. “We have been working closely with Queensland Health to ensure our strong biosecurity plans guarantees the fourth Test at
the Gabba is played safely,” he said. “Throughout the season, we have developed a strong track record for a safe and responsible return to sport thanks to our well-established biosecurity protocols, the ongoing support from public health officials and the incredible hard work of so many people across Australian cricket. “I want to thank the Queensland Government for their cooperation and willingness to working closely with CA and the BCCI so we can deliver the fourth Test as planned, but more importantly delivering on a plan that places the safety and wellbeing of the players, match officials and the wider community as a top priority,” Hockley said.

There’s no place like Noosa Adam Scott, Australia’s top-ranked golfer, believes the three months he spent at his Sunshine Beach home was his highlight of 2020. “I got to spend three months at home,” Scott said from Hawaii this week where he played in the PGA Tour’s Tournament of Champions at Maui. “That was fantastic. “It might be until the end of this year before I do get back home, and that’s a long time away, because I enjoy my trips back home.” During his COVID-19-enforced stay at Noosa, Scott played golf regularly with his friends, indulged in his lifelong love of surfing, and enjoyed spending time with his family. Scott, 40, had an interrupted year in 2020 after winning early in Los Angeles, then contracting Covid-19. And, realising his time as an elite, world-class player is limited, Scott is keen to achieve his ambitions while he’s still able. “If I’m out here playing, I want to make the most of it,” he said. “I would like to contend a little more and win a little more before my time’s up.” Scott played the Hawaiian tournament this week with a shorter putter but said it was not necessarily a permanent change from the longer putter - more a ‘horses-for-courses’ strategy. “I had the arm lock putter here this week, so it might have looked like a short putter, but it was an arm lock style, and I putted like that a couple years ago. “It’s just kind of what I like on the type of green here this week and, quite grainy, quite slow, a lot of slope, and can be a lot of wind around as well and the long one, I feel like I’ve battled with a little bit out there in the past.’’ Scott said he would consider playing for Australia at the Tokyo Olympics this year, having previously been cool on the concept of Olympic golf. “I would consider playing,” he said. “It’s still not my priority for the year. That’s for sure. But I wouldn’t rule it out because you can never really say never, but it will certainly be something I’ll look at. Who knows where we are in the summertime?” Scott, the world No. 17, had an interrupted 2020 because of his contracting COVID-19. “I just had nothing organised coming back from COVID and that momentum was gone and I tried hard and I played okay, but okay gets average results out here.” He said he had set himself a target of reaching 20 wins on the US Tour - six more than his current tally of 14. Scott is eyeing off both the Players Championship and the Masters as early targets to add to a world-class resume that boasts 31 tournament wins, including the 2013 Masters, 2003 Players and two World Golf Championship titles. He shot four sub-par rounds in Maui - 68, 71, 68 and 70 for a four round total of 15 underpar 277 - to finish in the top 25. Giblett’s solid effort in Melbourne George Giblett played four consistent rounds of golf in difficult conditions to finish 18th in the Australian Master of the Amateurs at Melbourne’s Victoria Golf Club last week. Noosa’s Giblett shot scores of 75, 76, 74 and 77 for 72-hole total of 302 in weather that was often wet and windy. Victoria’s Lukas Michel, who contested last year’s US Masters, birdied three of the last four holes to win the tournament - one of Australia’s premier events for amateurs. Queenslander Lion Higo, who is about to leave to study and play golf at California’s Pepperdine University, birdied the final three holes to win the women’s section of the tournament.Justice Bosio, the Caboolture teenager who won the Sunshine Coast Junior Masters last year, finished third.

Drive to put a smile on your face TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER What are the secrets to playing well? Some may say good technique. Others, a good short game. And some may say good rhythm. They’re all right. However, I find that good players play better when they’re in the right frame of mind. What I mean by that is that their mind is settled and they’re happy. Throwing your club on the ground, swearing or getting angry are sure signs that a golfer’s mind is rattled, which will then adversely affect their game. So what makes you happy? What puts a smile on your face? That’s what you have to find. Then keep that thought constant on the golf course, and good golf will follow. Yes, concentrate on your shot while you’re over it, but then stay happy and keep smiling. PETER HEINIGER - Noosa Springs resident PGA teaching professional Adam Scott hits from the bunker.

Marie kept her head still, her eye on the ball and her weight on her front foot, and went on to record 43 stableford points - good enough for an easy win in the women’s competition. Indeed, her score was better than any of the men on a hot and humid day. “It came as a surprise to me,” she said. “It was very unexpected.” Marie and her husband Graham Young live at Park Ridge - just a wedge shot from the golf course - and she usually plays three times a week. “My husband is a good golfer, but I wasn’t particularly interested in the game when we lived in Brisbane,” she said. “Then, when we moved to Peregian Springs to a house on the 18th fairway, I had some lessons and started to play.“I thought, if nothing else, it was an opportunity to spend time with Graham. Now I’m as hooked on the game as he is.”

A teenage sensation If one were to stop and wonder, exactly what proverbs would best suite Cooroy’s 13-yearold Dannica Starkey, junior Black Belt member of the Sunshine Coast Martial Arts, one could not do better than to quote Mark Twain: “It is not the size of the dog in the fight that counts but the size of the fight in the dog.” This young lady, despite her youth, has made people in the International world of Martial Arts, sit up and take note. In the words of her Sensei (teacher)Bryan Dukas 6th Dan, “With her dedication, self-discipline and mental outlook of never giving up, her fighting spirit is beyond question.” This assessment came about in 2019 after she had achieved what many thought, was impossible: she, in her division, won the gold medal for Kumite (sparring) at the World Shotokan Karate Championships in Tokyo Japan. “This of course was very good and exciting,” she said, “but when it was over it was a big relief. It was not easy, as the rules in Japan were a bit different and the standard was very fast.” Add to this Sensei Dukas said, “We were all very proud, our team members, supporters, all of us: this was an incredible achievement. At this tournament she was up against the very best,” For Dannica, a grade 8 student at Sunshine Beach State High, it all started at the age of 3, when she went along with her brothers to join the Sunshine Coast Martial Arts Club at Noosa, then known as the KBI and started in her kindy classes. “Some people might think that that is too young, but there are a lot of sports and hobbies that the children can start at that age, ballet and gymnastics for example: they are often referred to as Kindy classes and they just learn structure, have fun, and begin to develop their personalities,” said her mother Jennifer. It was in 2016 that sensei Bryan Dukas, entered her life. Following a suggestion from friend Tammy Kelly, a former South African martial arts student now living in Noosa, Dukas, arrived in October 2015 for a look at the dojo and a bit of a holiday. Liking what he saw he spent time with Tammy teaching at the Noosa dojo: then in April 2016, returned to South Africa, settled all family affairs and with his family arrived back August 2016:then he bought the dojo and started to teach his style and philosophies. For Dannica Starkey, her relationship with Dukas and other senior sensei has been one of outstanding success. “Her attitude and approach to karate is very determined and positive: she will never give up-- and thrives on hard training,” said sensei Dukas. With a support team of instructors, such as Rick Hislop and Tammy Kelly both 5th Dans, (Japanese gradings) the success of this young girl is understandable. Through the years her achievements have been outstanding: five consecutive Queensland titles and four consecutive Australian titles, all in kumite(sparring): then in 2018 named in the Australian team. Representing Australia in New Zealand for the Oceanic Cup (which is the Oceanic region), in kumite, she won a bronze medal. Also, in 2018, again representing her country, this time in the Pacific Cup, won a silver medal in the kata competition ( a detailed pattern of movements either solo or in pairs ) and a bronze in the kumite. The Pacific Cup was contested by teams from Australia, New Guinea ,Fiji, New Caledonia and other Pacific regions. These results have been outstanding. But of course, for Dannica the year 2019 would be the year to remember, winning an Australian gold medal then following this, her success in winning the gold in Japan at the world championships. It is no wonder that for this young lady, Karate has become a way of life, with the possibility it could be a life- long commitment. Being aged 13, she at present holds a junior Black
Danika Starkey Belt, but on reaching age 15 she could, if considered ready by her sensei, sit for her senior Black Belt. When a young athlete embarks on a sporting career and starts to achieve success, you will often find that apart from her coaches, a major component has been out sanding family support. And the Starkey parents(Jennifer and Danny) are a classic example. Apart from facing the financial aspects of having an international athlete within the family, the parents showed total support when they utilized some space in the home to build her own dojo: and the floor of which, is properly covered with karate mats. This home dojo has been an outstanding success. Apart from normal training times, the outbreak of the Covid virus, which saw the clo-
sure of sporting facilities, resulted in Dannica using the home dojo to the utmost. Despite her youth, she has not neglected the financial burden imposed upon her family: she has undertaken to start a small T shirt business to help raise funds. When asked about the shirts she said, “I came up with the slogan, Kick Like A Girl, and so far, it is going ok.” A wonderful gesture from someone so young. When chosen to represent one’s country in international competition, it is always considered an honour: then to travel to such places as New Zealand and Japan to compete (and attend training seminars) makes it more so. But for these young athletes it often comes as a big cost to the families. Unfortunately, because there is little or no public recognition, for the martial
arts, the cost to the families can be enormous. When Dannica was chosen to represent Australia, she not only paid $400 for her Australian track suit (of course complete with the national coat of arms ! ) but as stated there was also the financial burden: all coaching and competition entry fees, travel and accommodation to be paid by the family. For the year 2018, (which included overseas travel to represent her country,) this total was an estimated $15,000. Because of the lack of media exposure and public awareness, there is virtually little or no sponsorship for the martial arts. This then results in the financial burden being shouldered by the families. For someone so young to achieve so much, is something that we in the Noosa community can take pride. Well done to Dannica and family. Friday, 15 January, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 45

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt
World surf tour in tatters I don’t want to be the doomsayer, especially after predicting that the Covid outbreak at Pipeline last month would dash the hopes of a 2021 WSL world tour, but it’s looking seriously dodgy again, following the WSL cancellation of the Sunset Pro in Hawaii this month and the Santa Cruz Pro in California in March. World Surf League CEO Erik Logan announced: “The decision to postpone the Santa Cruz Pro, the last planned event of the US leg of the Championship Tour, is based primarily on the surge of Covid-19 cases in California. The postponement is also heavily influenced by the length of time our athletes have been away from home, and by the complexities of global travel during this pandemic, which would have caused significant logistical challenges for athletes and staff to travel home and return to California for the event. We look forward to safely continuing the 2021 CT season with the Australia leg starting at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach in April. Use of the word “postpone” in relation to Santa Cruz, like G-Land and Peniche, Portugal before it, is code for “it will happen at a later date if several miracles happen”. Which they won’t. So that’s four of the 11-event tour already out, but worse is still to come. Given the time frame for widespread vaccination to take effect following its introduction in Australia at the end of February, and the harsh realities of the new state-based short and sharp lockdowns, Logan is off with the pixies if he really think the Australian leg is going to happen in April. On Surfline last week, Nick Carroll wrote a comprehensive explanation of the difficulties the tour might face, largely for the benefit of the website’s American audience, who were probably too busy watching democracy disintegrate in Washington DC to pay much attention. It was a good piece, as they usually are from Nick, but it was outdated within hours of it being posted, with the flash Brisbane lockdown providing further evidence of how volatile the Covid travel restrictions are and will remain for most of this year. The WSL tour is supposed to kick off at Bells over Easter, then head to Margaret River before heading back to Queensland for the Gold Coast Pro end of April. Assuming that 50 or so surfers and another 50 officials could get sporting event exemption to get into Australia - and if the Indian cricketers and the Australian Open tennis players can get in, we must think that the door is at least slightly ajar - this then means negotiating with Dan Andrews, Mark McGowan and Annastacia Palaszczuk, the three toughest Covid premiers. As Nick pointed out, you could do your $3000 forced two-week holiday in a Melbourne hotel, head down to Bells for the comp and find yourself in a lockdown, stuck there for a month. And nobody closes a state border faster than Mark McGowan. Above and beyond all of this, when it comes to presenting a convincing Covid-safe event plan, as Cricket Australia and the ATP had to do, all the WSL can point to is its disastrous cluster within the event group at Pipeline, and the hasty cancellation of the January permits by the Hawaiian authorities. It’s not a good look. I can’t see the Oz leg happening, but there is a wildcard in the mix, and its name is Andrew Stark, the WSL manager for Australasia. Starky is a terrier, and if anyone can somehow make this happen, it’s him. Mel’s wave of passion at Mavericks Speaking of the WSL, as we were, did anyone not see commentator Peter Mel’s monstrous barrel at Maverick’s last Friday? The frothers were calling it the wave of the decade, which might be a bit extreme, but then again, the 51-year-old’s drop down a bottomless face into an ugly and menacing pit and finally emerging with his palms splayed, as if to say, what the hell just happened, well it was pretty extreme. “Everyone on earth should see this ride,” Pete’s good mate Kelly Slater posted. I’ve watched it about a dozen times, both for the intensity of the ride and for the long after46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 15 January, 2021
Mel’s monster at Maverick’s.
ride during which Mel, who is one of nature’s gentlemen, seems truly humbled by the experience, just floating in the channel, not knowing what to do next. I know what I would have done - jumped on the next jet ski in, ticked that box and never gone out there again. But nah, Pete eventually paddled back out for another dig, as he would. Pete’s son, Jon, who was with him at Mavericks and watched the ride from the channel, posted: “Words can’t describe what I watched today ... 51 years old and just set the standard of what everyone will now be chasing to get the best wave out there. Congratulations ... I love you dad!”

He said there has been intense speculation about Australians choosing to relocate regionally during the pandemic, as working from home arrangements make it easier for people to move away from big cities where major employers are typically based. There was now enough data both out of CoreLogic and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to back up this speculation. “I think this trend is quite entrenched now and it will persist into 2021. “Perhaps as we go into mid-2021 we will start to see affordability diminish between capital and regional markets,“ Mr Lawless said. The hottest markets are those that were only a few hours drive from major capital cities. “They’re leading the pack in terms of strongest growth,“ Mr Lawless said. “People can have the best of both worlds and live in a marketplace with lifestyle benefits and lower prices, as well commute back to big cities if they need to.’’ Mr Lawless said it was not as simple as saying the pandemic caused the regional demand. It was more likely Covid-19 had sped up an existing trend of people wanting a sea or tree change. While ABS population data out in November did show regional relocation trends during 2020, it also showed this trend had been happening in some locations pre-Covid.
With an asking price of $939,000, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 20 Lomandra Place, Tewantin, has sold. 224849 Mr Lawless said if this trend continued into 2021, it may lead to homes in regional Australia becoming even more expensive. That may be good news for investors in regional markets, but it is not good for renters in regional locations who have previously been settled there with cheaper rents compared to big cities. “We are seeing demand going into those regional markets. Supply is low. Homes are selling quickly. “Perhaps as we go into mid-2021, we will start to see affordability diminish between capital and regional markets. “If we look at the trend where regional house prices and rents are rising quickly, at a time when incomes are quite stable if not falling, with JobKeeper declining as well, I think we will see affordability issues creep into these markets.“ HOMES OF DISTINCTION Roark Walsh of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the past year had reminded people in Noosa to be thankful for what is on offer here. There has been a lot of interest in
Christmas-New Year, with a lot of Victorian visitors already in Noosa from when the borders were open. Roark has listed two distinctive Sunshine Beach properties as forthcoming auction campaigns. One is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with pool at 2/38 Park Cres, Sunshine Beach. The other is a fourbedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 14 McAnally Dve, listed in conjunction with colleague Tiffany Wilson. “We are getting interest on them,’’ Roark said. “Both complement each other in an apples and oranges context. “Park Cres is perfect for a baby boomer downsizer or anyone wanting to improve their position. It has first-class finishes, and is directly opposite the beachfront and park. The owner has cleverly built two houses on the block. This one was for the owner. “The house next to you in Webb Rd sold for $18m,’’ Roark said. “This house is brand new, private, secluded, and once you’re in there you feel as if you are right on the beachfront.’’

THE holiday period and the Covid-19 lockdowns have shown the natural appeal of Noosa. Driven mainly by buyers from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as locals looking to upgrade, downsize or improve their position, the property market has moved into unprecedented waters. CoreLogic’s price of homes in coastal locations has seen Noosa top the chart with a 15.2% increase in the 12 months to December, and a median house price of $866,178. This is compared to Byron Bay’s rise of 14.3% to $1,218,616, and Wollongong’s 12.4% to $1,038,1053. This rush to regional areas has seen rental vacancies at Noosa drop to 0.2%, compared to the 1.8% of 12 months ago. CoreLogic research director Tim Lawless said regional markets have outperformed the capital city markets for the first time since 2004.

The house at 14 McAnally Dve has exceptional pedigrees with Chris Clout design and Damian Davidson build. “It is an exceptional coastal offering,’’ Roark said. “Pure elegance combined with relaxed sophistication. Perched on the highly sought-after eastern ridge of McAnally Dve, it offers 180-degree beach and ocean views. A glass lift operates from the open living area on the top level to the pool and guest retreat on the bottom level with direct beach access. Floors are of European oak and Italian Carerra marble, there are 40 solar roof panels and Tesla storage battery as well as electrical car-charging set-up. The pool features a magnesium water system and heat pump to 26c. WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS The family home on a large flat block … it seems to be what so many people want. At least that was the case with the fourbedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 743sq m at 103 Goodwin St, Tewantin. The property is under contract ahead of the scheduled auction on Friday, January 15, with Rick Daniel and Leanne Southwell at Richardson & Wrench Noosa. “It has been pretty exciting,’’ Rick said. We listed it midweek and inquiries flooded in from all over .. local and interstate. “A professional couple from Gympie had an inspection on the Friday morning and made a verbal offer but the vendor wanted a clean contract to stop the auction. “While leaving the property I had another phone call, from a Victorian couple heading home on the Sunday. “They wanted a look as they had missed out on another place through a multipleoffer process. “They loved it, made a verbal offer and went straight into getting everything in place including a building and pest report. “We got that done, even though it was a busy time, and went to contract. “They snapped it up and went back home with copy in their luggage.’’ Much of the appeal was the way the kitchen servery opened to the pool, the sunroom and backyard. A new 6.6kw solar system is in place, there is insulation throughout the ceiling, two air-conditioners in the living and main bedroom.
With award-winning builder and designer, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom beachside house at 14 McAnally Dve, Sunshine Beach, is listed as a forthcoming auction.

UNIT BLOCK HEADED FOR AUCTION Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents is marketing three units on three titles at Noosa Heads that are headed for auction in one line. There is one three-bedroom, twobathroom apartment and two two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments on 611sq m with pool at 1, 2 & 3/63 Noosa Pde. They are set to go to auction on Wednesday, January 27, at 5pm. It will be an in-rooms and on-line event at Heads of Noosa Brewery, 85 Rene St, Noosaville. The offering presents a rare chance to secure a whole block of units zoned medium density in such a key location. “The units are original 1982 solid brick construction with a suspended slab floor, all impeccably maintained and beautifully presented,’’ Nathan said. “Each unit features open-plan living, a spacious kitchen and access out to a northfacing balcony that overlooks the pool. “As you would expect, inquiry has been from all over. “We were always going to get interstate interest but there are locals as well, and from overseas.
“What’s happening with the borders is why added in the on-line method to the auction as well as holding it off-site.’’ SOLD BEFORE FIRST OPEN Sharon McLure of Laguna Real Estate has sold the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 20 Lomandra Place, Tewantin, in conjunction with colleague Melanie Butcher. With an asking price of $939,000, it sold to Brisbane buyers as an investment and will go into the Laguna rental pool. Sharon said the buyer had missed out previously on a property and was confident of the growth in the market. The offer was made and accepted before the first open home. It was purchased sight unseen, but the buyer inspected it afterwards and was happy with the decision. The house offers stylish, private living at the end of a cul-de-sac and overlooking a lily-filled natural lake.

Open the doors and let the eye treat to a wonderful surprise, a beautifully renovated house that keeps on giving. Elevated on a ridge, sweeping views over bushland, Mount Cooroy and beyond are sensational. Ditto sunsets. Yes, never judge a look by its cover.

ON THE COVER
MAGNIFICENT ESTATE; ABSOLUTE LAKE MACDONALD VIEWS LOCATED a scenic 10-kilometre sealed road distance from the shores of the Noosa River, this exceptional lakefront estate sits on a grassy knoll and encapsulates all that is wondrous about the Noosa Hinterland. One of only thirteen properties with absolute lake frontage and riparian water rights, the sub-tropical sanctuary offers a perfect balance between the vibrant hinterland villages and all the seaside excitement and colour of Noosa Heads. The asphalt private lane carries the name of its original owner, feeds just three other exclusive properties and culminates in a post and rail security keypad gate at 81, with just a hint of what lies ahead. The driveway rises gently along a tree lined drive of Poinciana, Frangipani and Leopard trees to deliver you into a wide forecourt approach, and the distinctive roofline of the beautiful homestead. Having purchased the property in early 2000 in a private transaction with the original owner, this is the first time it has been offered to the market since the initial subdivision in the early 1980s. There is a delightful sense of arrival as you step from the vehicle and approach the large timber pivoting door formal entry. The home is cocooned in a sub-tropical wonderland of lush plantings created and nurtured by the present owners over two decades. Built in the eighties and sympathetically updated under architectural direction, the solidly constructed home of rendered brick and hardwood supports a broad roofline inviting year-round entertaining, dining, or quiet time to immerse yourself in vistas of the lake and hinterland mountain peaks. Lush gardens of Heliconia, ginger and a host of exotic topicals thrive in the rich soil. With abundant water supply from the lake and an extremely efficient bore delivering potable water, all backed by 57,000 litre rainwater capacity tanks, the property is essentially drought proof. The chimney climbs to meet the peak of raked ceilings and the open plan layout delivers privacy to three bedrooms. The tranquil main bedroom sits facing the lake and enjoys a large walk-in robe and ensuite with floor to ceiling travertine and double vanities in floating cabinetry. Step out to the adjoining garden and you may shower under an open sky. A flue climbs through the pitched
ceilings, while a delightful mezzanine hovers over living rooms, and adjustable glass louvres and walls of sliding glass regulate a breeze. The sleekly construed galley kitchen anchors living areas, with a large walk-in pantry and a servery window linking to the poolside patio. The large pebblecrete pool is in tip top condition and what was once a large garage space, has been deftly converted into a serene self-contained guest suite privately positioned to the gardens and pool. The brief by the owners for construction of an oversize shed running parallel to the pool is more than capable of housing bikes, boats, vehicles and all the essential coastal toys. In addition, there is a traditional covered area for farm machinery. As you stroll the house grounds a vegetable garden supplies an abundance of produce, mature citrus hang laden with fruit and a large mango tree stands proud. Amazing to think that this property was a blank canvas apart from its early life as home to a 7500-strong palm plantation. Mighty Cuban Royal and Triangle Palms have been selectively maintained and the open grassed slopes skirting the lake are interspersed with the remnant forest of Brushbox, Eucalyptus and the sight of a towering Hoop Pine commanding one slope. If a property is the sum of its parts, then this sublime lakefront estate and enchanting residence, come to the table with bountiful rewards. Facts & Features: Land Size: 9,629ha House Size: 474m2 Garaging: 138m2 Studio: 46m2 Pool: 10.5mx4.5m; north-facing About: built 1980 by Maurice and Joan Hamersley; plantings incl. 7500 palms; bought by current owners in 2001; one of 13 properties around the lake with riparian rights; renovated extensively 2002/3; 22 panels - 3.75 solar system; productive veg garden and orchard; total 57,000L in 3 underground concrete water tanks; sep. auto water system; underground bore produces 2200L per hour potable water; septic system; 2.7 tonne vehicle hoist (in shed) and 75hp 4WD tractor with slasher and Cub 54 ins. commercial zero turn mower (130hrs) and Toro Workmate electric buggy - all negotiable. ●

Darren has excellent market knowledge. He was extremely professional, and personable during our property search and ultimate purchase with Reed & Co. I appreciated his respectfulness towards the seller and his endeavour to assist us as buyers.
Darren & Adrian helped us to find our dream getaway in Noosa. Never in our wildest dreams did we believe we would find our dream home that had ‘it all’. They took the time to listen to our hopes and dreams and to get to know our family. We are so happy with the property we selected and highly recommend Darren & Adrian for genuine advice and local expertise.
Darren is knowledgeable, professional, cheerful and positive. During those inevitable times when selling seemed a daunting affair, Darren’s prompt responses to perceived ‘issues’, lifted the spirits, sorted the problems and carried us onwards to that hoped for ‘sold’ sign! We have since recommended Reed & Co. to others and will continue to do so.

ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED HOMES PARKRIDGE Noosa has been one of the major success stories of the Queensland property market this year with record sales and the recent release of the $70 million third and final stage of the award winning master-planned community. Included in the final stage is a number of two level designer homes with four bedrooms, two bathrooms across a massive 300m2 and perched high on the ridge with panoramic lake and hinterland views which will never be built out. Parkridge Noosa sales manager Jeremy Gilmore said six of the nine designer homes have already been sold to local and interstate buyers keen to secure a quality, brand new home with uninterrupted views set amongst the calm and tranquility of protected parklands. “These homes are due for completion in the third quarter of 2021, however buyers have been getting in quick as they don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to claim their piece of paradise where they can entertain family and friends in a stunning world-class location. “We expect enquiry to be strong over the festive season break with Brisbane and interstate buyers making their way to Noosa for their annual holidays. A number of our purchasers this year have chosen to make the move and purchase now before prices continue to rise and the supply of quality brand new homes becomes even more scarce,” Jeremy said. Parkridge Noosa residents enjoy a range of outstanding amenity such as a boutique professional gymnasium and 25m lap pool, while the stunning Fish Parkridge restaurant and a local convenience store all spill out
onto an expanse of lush grassy parkland. Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort Is within walking distance and golfing enthusiasts have provision for golf buggy access and parking. Noosa’s stunning
beaches, world class restaurants, cafes and boutiques as well as local entertainment, sporting and cultural centres are all within easy reach. The Parkridge Noosa sales office is

Warren Berry
Penny Neep
Great Result We would like to thank Warren for really listening to how we wanted to market and sell our property. Warren worked with us to achieve an outstanding result in the sale of our property prior to auction for the price we wanted. His knowledge of the Noosa Hinterland, property history and values gave us confidence to list with him. His positive sales skills gave us the results we hoped for. Thanks again Warren for doing your job so well!! Michael and Karina, Cooroy
The Best Experience We Have Had We have bought six and sold five properties in Noosa over the past six years. The best experience we have had with an agent has been with Penny Neep at Wythes. Her most valuable assets are regular communication and availability. Penny is honest, open and proactive. She listens and doesn’t talk over you. Her local knowledge is excellent which helps when the bank valuer has limited knowledge. We have no hesitation in recommending Penny as an agent. Bronwyn and Paul, Doonan
Lian Scott
Alisa Wythes An agent that exceeds expectations and gets the job done.
Lian worked extremely hard to make our three contracts come to fruition all at the same time. To make three contracts come to fruition at the same time was a mammoth task and Lian did it with her knowledge and experience in a constantly changing real estate market. She communicates with dignity, efficiency and friendliness. I would recommend Lian as an agent if you are looking for the best possible results in the real estate market. Noela, Pomona
Alisa was absolutely amazing to deal with. She was our second agent to take on our property, and straight away we had numerous inspections, and ended up with multiple offers within weeks. Alisa had a lot of knowledge in the area, which was demonstrated. She was professional, kind, easy to work with and went above and beyond, helping us when we were in another state. I’d recommend her to anyone needing to get a job done. Sarah, Cooroy
