The joy of Easter By Margaret Maccoll The coming of new life out of death is the message of Easter, for Christians and for nonbelievers who have their own way of looking at the traditional springtime ritual which heralds in rebirth and renewal. This year as the most significant event on the Christian calendar approaches, the Queensland COVID-lockdown has cast a shadow of doubt on the surety of Christian celebration through Easter services progressing as normal. In 2020 the pandemic emptied churches as congregations discovered new ways to worship online. This week clergy can do nothing but wait until the end of the lockdown on Thursday at 5pm to find out if services can proceed as planned. The Anglican Church of Noosa rectors The Reverends Chris and Lynda Johnson had organised a number of special events for Easter. Continued page 2

Egg-stra painful With Noosa booked solid for Easter, accommodation house owners were on tenterhooks hoping the three-day Brisbane COVID19 lockdown announced by Premier Annastacia Palaszcauk on Monday could be lifted for the holidays. Dan Gleeson of The Retreat Beach Houses at Peregian Beach said it couldn’t have come at a worse time. “We’re booked out for Easter with nearly all Brisbane people,” he said. “It’ll be pretty rough if the lockdown continues. We’ve had pretty much everybody who booked in ring us to see what we think. We don’t know. We just have to wait and see what happens.” Jacinta Delahunty from Sunseeker Holiday Apartments at Sunshine Beach said they had a couple of cancellations on Monday from Brisbane people. The apartments are fully booked for Easter

with Brisbane and Melbourne guests and the phones rang hot all day Monday. “It’s very difficult,” she said. Gareth Doran of Hastings Street resorts Ocean Breeze Resort and Saks on Hastings said they’d received cancellations and people ringing to change their dates. “There’s a lot of uncertainty. Everyone is sitting tight,” he said. Gareth said they were fully booked the entire school holidays with guests due to arrive from Melbourne, Tasmania and Queensland. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson agreed the timing of the Brisbane lockdown was unfortunate as we head into Easter and the busy school holiday period and it would have an impact on tourism operators. “We are urging Brisbane visitors not to

travel to Noosa until the lockdown is lifted and encourage any visitors to Noosa to adhere to Queensland Health’s requirements regarding mandatory masks and social distancing,” she said. “Our tourism operators are resilient and we will get through this together.” Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart reiterated Ms Anderson’s comments, saying Noosa was open for business but it was important we all follow the Chief Health Officer’s requirements. She said residents and business operators needed to remain vigilant, in the wake of current restrictions placed on Greater Brisbane and across Queensland. “Masks are now mandatory when entering any hospitality venue or eatery or on public transport, so I encourage all visitors and resi-

dents to follow the new restrictions,” she said. “Obviously the Brisbane lockdown will have an impact on our shire, as we head into Easter, but if we do the right thing over the next few days, hopefully we can get through the Easter break unscathed. “If you are travelling from Brisbane to Noosa, please don’t until the lockdown is lifted. “We need everyone to cooperate,” she said. “It’s been tough for many of our operators and while Noosa is not included in the Greater Brisbane lockdown, it’s important we all stay vigilant and keep up the social distancing,” she said. “As the Premier said this is a highly contagious strain of the virus and if you have any symptoms, no matter how mild, go and get a test. It’s quick and painless.”

If you’d rather hunt for Easter eggs than car parks this Easter, then Go Noosa’s Free holiday buses are for you. All buses that operate solely in the Noosa Shire area will be free from April 2 to 18. Go Noosa Project Officer, Joanna Ferris, said residents and visitors might like to try the popular 065 Go Noosa Loop bus that travels in the busy areas of Noosa Junction, Weyba Drive and Noosa Parade to Noosa Heads. The Go Noosa Park & Ride loop bus will run from the Noosa AFL Grounds. It leaves every 15 minutes between 7am and 7pm and every 30 minutes until 11pm. “You could catch the 064 to travel between Peregian Beach and Noosa Heads or hop on the 632 to travel out to Pomona and Cooran and experience the great Noosa Hinterland,” Ms Ferris said. Park and Ride will also be available again including long stay car parking at three locations (AFL Football grounds on Weyba Rd, Noosa Junction - The J and Noosa Junction Transit Centre). For those just dropping family and friends off at Hastings Street we recommend taking advantage of the free two-minute Drop & Go locations on Noosa Parade and Hastings Street Bus Interchange. Mayor Clare Stewart said stress-free holiday travel can happen on the water too. “Discounted passes on Noosa Ferry are now available, which allow residents and visitors to make a few stops in Tewantin, Noosaville and Hastings Street,” she said. And with nice temperatures for getting active don’t forget the simple pleasures of walking and cycling to get around Noosa. Our pathways allow a pace that reflect Noosa’s relaxed lifestyle.

Go Noosa holiday buses run from 2 - 18 April 2021. Cr Stewart said Noosa locals and visitors have been embracing the Go Noosa program and the range of car free options since 2018. “This initiative is really making a difference and it’s even easier to spend less time in the car and more time at the beach and exploring Noosa’s waterways and towns,” she said. The Go Noosa program is becoming synonymous with Noosa and holiday periods throughout the year. Ms Ferris said that survey results showed that more than 60% of people who caught a free bus last Christmas were Noosa residents. “We’re delighted that locals and visitors are so on-board with the Go Noosa program. What started as a free bus service during the summer holidays twenty years ago has now expanded to take a holistic and sustainable transport approach to travelling around Noosa,” she said. “Once again, we’re delighted to partner with TransLink this Easter.” To know more about Go Noosa head to noosa.qld.gov.au/go-noosa-holidays.

The editor’s desk According to the 2016 Census 55 per cent of Noosa residents were Christians so this weekend more than half our community will celebrate Easter, the highlight of the ecclesiastical calendar, the celebration of the resurrection. However the virus is indifferent to liturgical calendars as it is to tourism and the economy so Noosa remains in a state of uncertainty this week as we wait to be told if Christians will be able to flock to their churches or tourists flock to our resorts, restaurants and retailers. The virus won’t stop Easter. As they have throughout the past year churches have moved their activities to the virtual realm and congregations will congregate online if need be. People may not be able to enjoy the comforting rituals of the season, joyful church services, Easter egg hunts or big family gatherings. But it’s during trying times that the promise of life triumphing over death most resonates. Wherever you sit on the theological spectrum you can take heart in the symbolism of Easter, a story from the ages that reminds us that life is resilient and irrepressible. During the darkest days of war, famine, pestilence and plague, humankind has always yearned to hear a story of incredible sacrifice, enduring love and hope.Happy Easter from Noosa Today

Science behind the sand By Phil Jarratt If you’ve been to Noosa Main Beach or Little Cove over the past 18 months – and is there anyone who hasn’t? – you may have wondered where all the sand came from and how long it will stay. Anecdotally, many old Noosa hands and veteran surfers have been claiming that this is the most sand seen on Main Beach in decades. Scientifically, Noosa Today can reveal that a new study shows that this is the most sand we’ve seen in at least 60 years. But if wide sandy beaches are your thing, you’d better love it while it’s here, because the study also predicts that future wave climates are likely to make this occurrence less frequent, with more erosive wave periods resulting in narrower beaches on average. The research, titled “Influence of wave direction sequencing and regional climate drivers on sediment headland bypassing”, published last week in the Geomorphology Journal, is the work of University of Sunshine Coast PhD student and researcher Daniel Wishaw and USC’s Professor Javier Leon, assisted by Helen Fairweather and Allen Crampton. The research team analysed 60 years of aerial imagery to identify periods of erosion and sand accumulation on beaches around Noosa Headland, comparing beach widths with known wave, tidal and ENSO phase (El Nino and La Nina) data to understand why erosion and accretion occurred, and assessed how projected future changes in the wave climate (less swell from the south east and more from the east) would influence these beaches. Noosa Main Beach is fed by sand that moves around the headland from Alexandria Bay, and that movement of sand is caused by two kinds of ocean swell events that occur only rarely, but happened twice in quick succession in 2019, leading to a larger than normal amount of sand being transported and migrating on to Noosa Main Beach. The USC researchers say that for this much sand to move around the headland a specific sequence of waves was required. First, a swell event of more than 2.5 metres from the south east was required to push sand to the headland apex, before a similar event from the east or north east pushed this sand into the bays on the north of the headland (Granite, Tea Tree, Little Cove) and eventually on to Noosa Main Beach. The result is the greatest volume of sand on Main Beach and the widest strip of beach seen at any time over the 60 years covered by the study. Putting the amount of sand currently on Main Beach in some kind of perspective, researcher Daniel Wishaw says: “The Noosa Council survey team provided survey data of Main Beach that indicated that it naturally loses approximately 10,000 cubic metres of sand per year on average, with the sand recycling system that the council operates working well to balance these losses. But with the sand more or less setting up camp on Main Beach, there has been no need for sand pumping for well over a year. Between winter 2019 and winter 2020 we accumulated 41,000 cubic metres. It seems pretty evident that this rate has continued through to the current time, but I don’t have any survey to back it up. However

USC sand movement researchers Professor Javier Leon and Daniel Wishaw on the low tide sand mass at Little Cove. you could reasonably extrapolate that to being around 60,000 cubic metres now.” While the white sands of Main Beach have been a real plus for the Covid-led boom in domestic tourism over the past six months or so, the sand build-up has been a mixed blessing for surfers. First Point hasn’t broken properly for more than a year, while Little Cove and the outer bays have produced endless days of barrelling surf during quite minor swell events. With one popular break out of the equation, crowds have been more intense at the other points. Long-time local surfers still talk about a similar, although much less significant, sand migration during the La Nina phase of 2010, when sand deposited in Laguna Bay off First Point actually moved the surf break from the point into the bay, before things returned to normal after a couple of months. The intensity of the current sand migration makes it much harder to move, although that will happen soon, according to climate change projections. Says Daniel Wishaw: “For First Point, the sand has really built up there because we have had two relatively quiet summers with respect to wave activity, which would usually push that sand through the system. The combination of having a big 2019 and a quiet 2020 and 2021 so far, means we have had a big build-up, with a lot of backlog still to be cleared from Little Cove. Effectively, that’s sand in the bank for Main Beach, so it’s going to take a considerable and prolonged swell event, or a couple of them in a row, to flush the sand out of First Point and make a difference.” Daniel’s estimate is that a three to four metre east swell over a period of five to seven days is needed to normalise Main Beach. While the Easter bunny is predicted to bring us a two-

Surf comp isolation By Abbey Cannan

The search and rescue operation at Coolum Beach.

Coast drowning Police have located a body believed to be that of a 21-year-old man reported missing in water off Coolum beach since Saturday afternoon.

Police commenced a search and rescue operation after the man was last seen by friends swimming near Stumers Creek Road around 4pm on March 27, where he is believed to have

become stuck in a rip. A deceased man was located within the search area at 2pm Monday. Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

Surfer rescued following heart attack By Abbey Cannan A man was brought back to life by a local lifeguard after suffering a heart attack while surfing at Noosa Main Beach on Friday morning. The man in his 60s went into cardiac arrest and was pulled from the water by two

surfers who spotted the man in the water after falling from his surf board. A QAS spokeswoman said paramedics responded to the incident off Claude Batten Drive at Noosa Main Beach. “The patient was transported to Noosa Hospital in a serious condition at around 8.30am,“ she said.

Noosa Lifeguard Josh Jones came out of the West Tower to assist the surfers and brought the man back to life with a defibrillator. An off-duty paramedic also assisted Josh. The man is believed to be recovering and will be returning home from hospital this week.

Coffee with a cop reconnecting community By Abbey Cannan Noosa police have been reengaging with the community through ‘Coffee with a Cop’ mornings at locations across the Sunshine Coast. Senior Constable Tom Middleton, Sergeant Neil Ashley, and Senior Constable Jessica Phillips from the District Crime Prevention Unit recently spent the morning outside of Nook & Co Espresso Bar in Tewantin answering questions and having a chat with community members. Senior Constable Phillips said her new role was all about getting out in the community and talking to the public. “We want to get across a good prevention message on keeping their properties safe and keeping their vehicles safe, because we have had a slight increase in motor vehicle theft across the Sunshine Coast,” she said. “So we’re just trying to get across the message to keep your keys hidden, not somewhere where they’re typically found. Most of our stolen cars occurs from the keys being taken.” Senior Constable Phillips said it was important that the community did their bit to

prevent crime, while the police did their job to find offenders. “With Covid last year, a lot of police were tasked to the Covid deployments and so I think the public may have felt there was that disengagement and that’s probably across the board with every agency,” she said. “I think this is a good opportunity, we’re going to do Tewantin, Beerwah, and across the Sunshine Coast in the next few months and just try to bring us into the community.” She said people sometimes avoided going into a police station with a question as they felt like they were wasting the officer’s time. “We want people to know that we’re just people,” Senior Constable Phillips said. “We’ve got a job to do but we’re also human and I think this is a great way to start that. “We’ve had some great donations from different businesses to be able to put on free coffee for the community and then we’re giving out some merchandise and getting the prevention message out there. “I think we’ve had 30 or 40 people so far today with different questions, so its been good.”

Noosa Surf Life Saving competitors who attended a competition on the Gold Coast are in isolation following a contact tracing alert issued by Queensland Health. Surf Life Saving Queensland say they were advised by Queensland health authorities that an attendee who has since tested positive for COVID-19 attended the QLD Senior and Masters State Championships 2021 at Tugun Beach event on Sunday 28 March between 12:30pm and 2pm. “If you visited us during this time, you should get tested and quarantine until you have a negative result,“ a SLSQ spokesperson said. “We are working with the authorities to contact those close contacts who also attended the event.“ About 1,500 people were expected to be at the Surf Life Saving Competition, including the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club surf boat section who fielded 11 crews across seven divisions at the event. Nine crews raced their way into the finals and five of those made it to the podium celebrating, before they travelled back to Noosa and heard the news. Noosa Heads SLSC Head Surf Boat Coach David Tomba said the teams were feeling a little nervous about the situation. “We only got the news late last night (Tuesday night) so we’re all in isolation and going to get tested,“ Mr Tomba said. “I’m waiting in line now to get a test done just as a precautionary.“ Other Surf Life Saving clubs from across the Sunshine Coast competed at the event, including Coolum Beach, Alexandra Headland, Maroochydore, Caloundra, and Mooloolaba. Another woman who returned to the Wide Bay region from a gathering at Byron Bay in recent days has returned a positive Covid-19 test result. The woman self-isolated while awaiting test results and is currently at the Bundaberg Hospital. To stay up to date visit the Queensland Health website at www.health.qld.gov.au

Notices out of public view A move by the Queensland Government to allow government agencies and developers to stop placing public notice advertisements in newspapers has been labelled a step backwards in political accountability. Laws requiring the state government to publish Public Notices such as new mining leases or amendments to a land use plan in newspapers will be changed under the proposal to instead be uploaded to the department’s own website or online news sites. Queensland Country Press Association president Phill Le Petit of Noosa Today said that by taking these notices out of the public eye there would be much less scrutiny of government and private development projects. “Development applications regularly generate considerable community debate and it will certainly not be in the public’s best interest or help to achieve practical consultation and beneficial outcomes for communities if the requirement for publicly notifying the general community is removed from public gaze,” he said. Queensland Treasurer Cameron Dick said the shake-up of advertising rules was part of the government’s plan to rein in spending and ballooning debt as well as align with the way the public now access information. “For some years now, the overwhelming majority of Queenslanders have sourced most of their information from online publications,” he said. But Mr Le Petit said the Treasurer’s comments were misinformed. “The Queensland Country Press Association represents 46 newspapers across the state and that number is growing, with 22 new publications joining as members in past 12 months. The combined monthly audience across these member newspapers totals 1,336,953 and that does not include figures for state and national newspapers bought

and read in Queensland,” he said. “When it comes to local news the overwhelming majority of Queenslander get their information from newspapers or news sourced from newspapers.” Under the draft laws, government agencies would have to apply for special permission for compulsory advertisements to be published in newspapers, with exemptions for public health and safety matters, firearms amnesties and matters relating to specific locations or people. The proposed changes and loss of advertising income are another blow to newspapers after News Corp last year closed print editions of daily newspapers in most coastal and regional areas and made more than 20 publication digital-only and in contrast to other governments. “State government advertising in regional newspapers has been virtually non-existent across QCPA member newspapers, compared to what the Victorian and federal governments has done,“ Mr Le Petit said. “The Victorian Government, instead of shrinking their advertising through tough times in the media industry, pledged to spend an extra $4.5 million on advertising in regional newspapers. “The Federal government ran many advertisements throughout the last year, which, no doubt would have helped keep many newspapers afloat. “For the health of our democracy and the viability of local businesses, we urge the Treasurer to reconsider this decision.“ Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said the draft law was yet to come before Parliament so she was not yet across the documentation but it was scheduled for the next sitting. She said she wouldn’t be supporting a proposed law that limited access to online viewing only particularly with such a large proportion of the local population not online.

Teacher in trouble

Boat wreck sails out of Noosa By Margaret Maccoll Maritime Safety Queensland’s War on Wrecks program targeted Noosa waterways again this month with the removal of a 12-metre catamaran from Lake Cootharaba. Funding of $20 million was committed in July 2018 towards the War on Wrecks program to remove derelict and illegally dumped vessels from Queensland waterways over four years. MSQ general manager Angus Mitchell said on 9 March the program removed the 12-metre, full-cabin catamaran “Konnexion” from the Noosa area. “The vessel had been grounded on the shores of Lake Cootharaba,“ he said. On its website Clayton’s towing describe how they moved the catamaran for the War on Wrecks program. “It had split hulls and was stuck up on the bank. Placed our air bags under it, winched

Noosa still on top The latest quarterly data for Queensland property prices (September-December 2020) has confirmed what buyers and sellers already know - prices are rising across Queensland. In fact, figures released by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) via its latest issue of the Queensland Market Monitor show prices increased by an impressive 6.1 per cent over the quarter across almost every region of Queensland in the final three months of 2020. “As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen Queensland’s property market perform in ways that go against every economic prediction made over the last 12 months,” Antonia Mercorella, CEO of the REIQ said. “In fact, Queensland property has remained extremely stable, recording a steady rate of growth that’s really strengthen its market appeal. Between record-low interest rates, low stock availability for sale, improvements in consumer sentiment and Queensland’s unbeatable lifestyle, it’s no surprise we’ve also seen broader increases in values month on month in 2021.” With the highest level of sales across the quarter recorded in Brisbane (13,085), Gold Coast (7,617) and Moreton Bay (6,565), our state capital also reached a new record median house price of $725,000 for 2020. “At the tail-end of 2020, the Sunshine Coast remains the shining star of the Queensland property market. Not only has the Sunshine Coast achieved strong property price growth for houses at 7.7 per cent over the year but the unit market is also firing albeit slightly stronger at 8 per cent,“ Ms Mercorella said. With the Sunshine Coast firmly positioned at the top of the property ladder, it’s no surprise to learn that Noosa retained its title for the most expensive housing market in Queensland, achieving 15.4 per cent growth to achieve a recording-breaking median house price of $900,000. Meanwhile units increased by 14.3per cent to achieve a record-breaking

Noosa hot property median unit price of $710,000. “What’s helping propel property prices in particular is the fact that interstate migration is so strong,” Ms Mercorella said. “In fact, the Sunshine Coast, along with the Gold Coast, have been top destinations for internal migration for years now. And with minimal international migration at present, that internal movement is really benefiting our markets relative to other parts of the country.” Further analysis of the data also shows the fast-tracked regional property rush currently sweeping across Queensland is evident. For example, the figures reveal that out of 56 regional Local Government Areas (LGAs), 52 show positive annual growth, representing 93 per cent of the State’s regional market. These locations are benefiting from the exodus to more affordable lifestyles, with 2020’s topperformers including Cloncurry, Murweih and Isaac. Gladstone was the largest best-performing regional LGA with a median house price of

$300,000 thanks to a strong finish of 9.1 per cent growth for the year. This represents a total gain of 83.8 per cent in reclaimed value from Gladstone’ median house price five years ago of $365,000. Meanwhile, the Gold Coast placed third with the most expensive median house price ($658,250) behind Noosa and Brisbane, with Currumbin Valley recording the highest annual house growth for 2020. “With positive economic results ushering in a New Year, Queensland is shaping up to be a strong bet for investors, with properties from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast selling fast and on a solid foundation for capital growth in 2021,” Ms Mercorella said. “When you consider Queensland’s unique attributes and market characteristics combined with historically-low interest rates, surging consumer confidence, and billions of dollars in infrastructure investment, and the scene is set for some of the strongest property growth we’ve seen in a very long time.”

Cold brew coffee trend hits town Cold brew coffee culture has been spreading through South East Asia for almost a decade now, creating cafe creatures in places where none previously existed. It was inevitable that someone would pick up an element of that and turn it into a trend, so enter Brisbane couple Amy and Brent Poulter, who have apparently been dreaming about bringing Vietnamese iced coffee to Noosa for a couple of years. Cách S?ng, which opened last week on Hastings Street, is the culmination of that dream – “a fun and colourful bar serving Vietnamese iced coffee and desserts”. “Cách S?ng was inspired by my visits to Vietnam and my obsession with the amazing iced coffee you can buy there on any street corner,” said Brent. But hard core coffee lovers needn’t worry. This coffee has a serious kick. Think strong traditional Vietnamese coffee served over ice with a dash of condensed milk.

The house at 10 Ross Cres, Sunshine Beach, that sold recently at auction for $4,000,000. 232683 If 2020 came as a completely pleasant surprise for the property market, what about 2021? “We were wondering if it might slow down a bit after the summer holidays, but as it turns out the market for the first quarter has outperformed every quarter of 2020. “Auctions are achieving approximately 90 per cent clearance rates. Property listings remain tight, and there’s an abundance of buyers waiting for the right property. “It is not unusual for a property being marketed to attract up to 200 enquiries which ultimately converts to five or more bidders on a property.” But when it comes to thinking buyers will pay anything Mr Offermann is adamant that is not the case. “Buyers have a wealth of research available to them and while they know the market is strong and they may have to pay a premium

to get what they want, there is always a limit. “Finding that limit is where a great agent is a property owner’s best weapon.” For people looking to buy it is never too late. Value properties are everywhere and Mr Offermann’s simple investment advice is to buy in the best location your budget allows. Consider it a long-term investment. “In the current market it is important to be ready to act fast, and have pre-approval if you require finance, because a property can sell very quickly, sometimes never hitting the market at all. “One of those properties was apartment 4/ Hastings Park which sold earlier this year for $8 million. By the time the first advertisement was published with an asking price of $8.2 million, it had already been sold to buyers who had been waiting for this type of property. “Hastings Park is an exclusive complex of just nine apartments tiered up the hillside which affords each apartment a commanding

Currently if we had another 10 like this to sell that would not be enough. “There is a lot of financial weight behind this market, with a lot of extremely capable buyers ready and ready to act when the right property comes along. “Our average transaction value for the first quarter was over $3 million which is well into record territory, even though it included many sales under $1 million with the most affordable being a one-bedroom apartment in Peppers Resort, which sold for $492,000. “There are heavy bookings for Easter and expectations are it will be a bumper sales period. “It was reported recently one in six people in capital cities are considering a sea or tree change so inevitably many will be here assessing Noosa for their next move.”

It has been a year like no other for real estate in Noosa. Agents were catapulted into hyperactivity soon after the Covid-19 pandemic began as people focused on collapsing interest rates and the benefits of alternative living and holiday destinations. The sea and tree-change effect became the strongest ever and Noosa was one of the greatest beneficiaries, recording high sales volumes plus the highest price gains in Queensland, with houses recording 15.4 per cent annual growth, and a median price surpassing $900,000. Noosa has long been known as the jewel in Queensland’s crown which leading agency principal Tom Offermann said the figures supported. “It has also been named the most expensive shire in the state, but I think it is more accurately described as the most valuable in the state. “An annual return on investment over 15 per cent is incredible; however, some of Noosa’s most sought-after locations such as Noosa Sound have been averaging capital growth of more than 15 per annum per annum for the past 46 years. “So, will it continue?” Mr Offermann muses. “Of course, it will. Property value is never a straight-line graph yet you can always count on it pointing upwards long-term. “At this rate investors will double their money every five years, something I have experienced throughout my career.” Mr Offermann attributes the phenomenon to continuing superior local authority governance and the shire’s unique natural resources and climate that attract an amazing community. “All these factors combine to underpin a property market that has more potential than any others in the country. It’s highly desirable and very tightly held.”

CHAP extension By Abbey Cannan Noosa Council has successfully received an extension to hit pause on its completion of the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan (CHAP). This follows criticism from a newly formed Noosa residents group fighting to fix the draft CHAP, demanding more work tackling coastal erosion not “buck passing to residents”. The six-week public consultation period finished on Monday 8 March, with Council receiving over 200 responses. Council was granted an extension from the Local Government Association of Queensland, who is coordinating the implementation of the QCoast program on behalf of the State Government. Mayor Clare Stewart said the volume of submissions coupled with the level of detail, Council considered more time was needed to ensure the right outcome for the community is achieved. “We want to ensure Council achieves a sensible and measured response to managing coastal hazard risks now and into the future,” she said. “Council staff have been granted special permission to delay submitting the CHAP so we can ensure all submissions are appropriately reviewed and given due regard,” she said. “There are strong opinions and concerns by some sections of the community and it is imperative that we have enough time to work through these,” she said. “We are using this additional time to explore workable solutions put forward by stakeholders.” Cr Stewart reiterated that Council has heard the community and was committed to reaching solutions that are workable Noosa Council has developed a coastal hazards adaptation plan as part of the state’s QCoast2100 program. “We have certainly been transparent

Man dies in motorcycle crash A motorcyclist has died after colliding with a car at Bald Knob on Saturday afternoon, March 27. Early investigations suggest the motorcycle was travelling along Bald Knob Road when it collided with a four-wheel-drive travelling in the opposite direction. Members of the public provided first aid to the 61-year-old Browns Plains man, however he later died at the scene. Two women, both aged 18, in the fourwheel-drive were not physically injured. Investigations into the circumstances of the crash have commenced. The number of rider fatalities this year is more than double than the same period last year.

Noosa North Shore rollover Paramedics assessed two men at the scene of a single-vehicle rollover on the Noosa North Shore Wilderness Track at 6.45pm on Saturday 28 March. A man was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition. The second man declined transport to hospital. Noosa Council has hit pause on its completion of the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan.

about this plan and provided significant detail, much more than most other councils in Queensland,” Cr Stewart. Noosa is one of 32 Queensland councils developing coastal hazards adaptation plans with the funding from the state. “We certainly appreciate that the State Government and Local Government Association of Queensland has given us additional time to ensure the final result is what’s best for Noosa,” Cr Stewart said. This comes after the Eastern Beaches Protection Association (EBPA) lodged a submission to Council, followed by letters to Noosa Shire Councillors, challenging them to explain their knowledge and involvement in Council sending a letter to the Queensland Government on 29 July last year, “asking permission

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien has welcomed the Federal Government $20 million commitment to assist independent cinema operators. The Supporting Cinemas’ Retention Endurance and Enhancement of Neighbourhoods (SCREEN) Fund, administered by Screen Australia, will assist independent cinema operators who have experienced significant declines in revenue due to the pandemic, with one-off business continuity grants of up to $85,000. Mr O’Brien said the funding will provide critical support for local Wide Bay cinemas, which play an important role in the community. “I would strongly encourage local independent cinema operators to submit an expression of interest for this funding, to help ensure people can continue to enjoy the silver screen experience locally.”

to implement the changes to the Noosa Plan, without informing residents” . EBPA spokesperson Minna Knight said key concerns about the current draft CHAP included it having no measures to tackle beach erosion and inundation or justification for imposing adverse planning changes on a less than one per cent risk of a significant impact in 50 to 80 years from now. “We want to see Council go back and review the draft CHAP so that it actually protects our beaches and low lying areas - something many submissions actually agree with - while monitoring potentially impacted land over time and stepping back from costly pre-emptive planning measures that unnecessarily hurt homeowners and did nothing to protect our iconic beaches.”

Dawn Service cancelled Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club has announced the cancellation of this year’s ANZAC Day Dawn Service on Mooloolaba Beach. MSLSC President Darryl Johnson said it was an extremely tough decision to make as a club.“Traditionally we have around 10,000 people attend ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Mooloolaba Beach,“ he said. “We want to ensure the utmost safety for the public, veterans and especially those that are particularly vulnerable in these times. The local community and our veteran population’s safety is our major priority.”Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club worked closely with the Sunshine Coast Council, Queensland Health, and Maroochydore RSL to try to hold the event, but in the interest of public safety, have had to make this hard decision. “We understand the health and safety of our locals and visitors are paramount,“ he said. “Even with the best planning and preparation for such a large major gathering of our community, we cannot guarantee social distancing and all COVID restrictions that are required for those who were to attend. So it is with a heavy

heart that we have decided not to go ahead with this year’s ANZAC Day Dawn Service. “The Surf Club, Mooloolaba will be putting together a public memorial, with more information to follow. We would like to encourage all members of the public to join the RSL in the ‘Light Up the Dawn’ service as a safe alternative. This is a unique and poignant way to unite safely and honour and thank our nation’s veterans on Sunday 25 April 2021.“ Maroochydore RSL will still be holding its dawn service at Cotton Tree Cenotaph and a Parade on the morning of the 25 April. Although there will be restricted numbers. Mooloolaba Surf Lifesaving Club veterans/ ex-servicemen and women members will be invited to a small, private dawn service at The Surf Club function room. This will be an inviteonly ceremony followed by breakfast. All attendees will be adhering to strict COVID social distancing and sign-in guidelines. The Surf Club, Mooloolaba Restaurant will open to the general public at noon, and the bar will open at 1pm.

Noosa’s mixed reation to loss of Jobkeeper payment By Margaret Maccoll It was a mixed reaction to the end of the Federal Government’s Jobkeeper payments last Sunday but the picture painted by business organisations was more positive than negative. Noosa business groups are hoping the end of Jobkeeper payments will translate into more available staff and are adopting a wait and see attitude to the impact of its removal. Noosa Chamber of Commerce president

Rob Neely said tourism and accommodation businesses were in dire need of staff. “The end of Jobkeeper in Noosa will more than likely mean more staff available to us. It may be injurious to some businesses but overall we’re looking forward to it,“ he said. Mr Neely said half the town relied predominantly on the tourism and retail trade where staff shortages were being felt. The other half was mainly aged care and construction and those industries were thriving. Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president

Chris Bell said the Noosa hinterland was somewhat removed from the impact of COVID19 restrictions felt by the beachside tourism industry and it was too soon to tell what impact the loss of Jobkeeper would mean for them. “Our members have done well during COVID. More emphasis has been put on the hinterland and the general consensus is that it hasn’t been as tough as many people have experienced,“ he said. “I know businesses that have suffered and not had support but

they’re still open.“ Mr Bell said an example of the hinterland’s increased popularity could be seen in the number of visitors to the Cooroy RV Stopover which the chamber manages. In the eight months to February this year they had taken what they would normally achieve in 12 months, he said. “A lot of people are on the road. They stay, spend money in town. That’s a good spin off for us,“ he said. “It’s not a bad indicator of what’s happening out here.“

Hundreds gather at forum More than 200 people united and gathered in anticipation at Twin Waters this week for the region’s first ever First Nations Self-Determination, Representation and Wellbeing Forum. Held in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council, the Healing Foundation and PHN, the event was a key opportunity to forward plan with First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) people while also recognising the needs and trauma experienced by past generations. Sunshine Coast Council Senior First Nations Advisor Stephen Mam said he was pleased to see such a strong turnout. “The forum was all about the importance of self-determination and representation in wellbeing. Without those two we can’t have wellbeing,” Mr Mam said. “It’s important for the First Nations community to be active contributors in key decision-making processes. “Last week we saw our national Close the Gap Day, which highlighted the differences between the First Nations and wider community. “Until our old people are able to teach our young people, and our young people are able

“We focus around the voices of The Stolen Generation, survivors and their descendants,” Ms Burns said. “What we need to do is elevate the voices. We know that communities and individuals within those communities have the solutions and we know a major part of that is putting culture at the centre. “I’d really like to see this not be put on the community to change but broader Australia to step up, become trauma aware and healing informed.” Tribal Elder Tais K’Reala Randanpi said representation at the forum by many different tribes was equally essential. “It’s more important that the First Nation(s) people step up and do things the way they want to do,” Mr K’Reala Randanpi said. The forum included a traditional welcome, cultural sessions and presentations by the Statement from the Heart Working Group, International Peoples Organisation and USC plus Relationships Australia’s Debra Bennet. Sunshine Coast Council this week unanimously endorsed its Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.

An open letter to Premier Palaszczuk

Please don’t kill off Queensland’s independent newspaper revival. Dear Premier Palaszczuk, At a time when the Queensland government should be celebrating and supporting the strong revival ofindependent newspapers currently underway in our state, it appears you’re trying to kill it off. There are now more independent regional newspaper publishers in Queensland than there has been indecades, with new papers emerging to fill the void left by closures made by News Corp. But the new law proposed by your government threatens that resurgence and the greatly improved newsmedia diversity it has brought to regional Queensland. The Victorian government has recenty committed an extra $4.5million to an already healthy budget forregional newspaper advertising in that state, so why would you consider passing a law that will cut evenfurther the relatively tiny support the Queensland government provides to regional independent newspapers? Why do you want to funnel more state government advertising away from locally owned and independent newspaper publishers providing a critical service to regional Queenslanders to digital news sites owned predominately by global news corporations. The law would also be a massive blow to government transparency, with important notices such as mininglease approvals and amendments to land use being published on government websites away from publicgaze instead of being printed in local newspapers, as currently required by law. Premier, the resurgence of local independent regional newspapers currently underway in Queensland is agreat thing for our state - please don’t kill it off. Sincerely, Phill Le Petit President, QCPA.

Wishlist Giving Day raises historic $330,500

Former Broncos player Jack Reed handing a signed Brisbane Broncos jersey to Rotary Club of Noosa Heads Bob Birkhead.

Broncos star helps kids The Rotary Club of Noosa Heads is supporting another program of Mentoring through Sport a program aimed at engaging with school students who are at risk of slipping through the cracks. The program is coordinated by SunnyKids Inc and Brisbane Broncos, and the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads aims to once again part fund a program at a local school. Jack Reed, former Broncos and England Rugby League International player, recently caught up with Bob Birkhead from Rotary Club of Noosa Heads to donate a signed Brisbane Broncos jersey for the club to auction. Jack plays a very significant role in the de-

At the discussion with Bob Birkhead at The Grind on Gympie Terrace, Jack commented on the appreciation of the past support of the program by Rotary and was very appreciative of the planned support in 2021. “How fantastic is it to see the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads link up with SunnyKids & the Broncos to make a real difference in the lives of young people,“ he said. The jersey will be auctioned through the Noosa Heads Rotary website www.rotarynoosaheads.org.au with the bids being updated.

Hospital foundation Wishlist has raised an enormous $330,500 - the largest one-day fundraiser in the charity’s 22-year history. The Sunshine Coast and Gympie communities rallied around the not-for-profit yesterday during the 12-hour Wishlist Giving Day appeal to raise funds for the region’s public hospitals. Each year Wishlist directs more than $1 million to priority needs of the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service including vital medical equipment, services to support patients, hospital accommodation - including new project Wishlist Centre, plus funding innovative research and staff scholarships. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe said the team set out from 6am yesterday to raise an ambitious $300,000 and appealed to the community to ‘give a little, help a lot’. “This annual appeal is such a special fundraiser - it’s the only time where supporters can have their donation doubled by our very generous local businesses and families - also known as ‘matchers’,” Ms Rowe said. “We had 18 matchers this year including Sunshine Toyota, Harry & Margaret Reed, Foam & Rubber Industries, Exemplar Health Care, Just Better Care Sunshine Coast, Club Glass House, The McDowell Family, Telstra Business Technology Centre, QuikCorp, Nestle, NCM Constructions, TKM Construction Group, Protector Aluminium, Travis Schultz & Partners, Sunshine Coast Challenge Golf, Mode Design, Rockwall Partners and Project Urban. “We reached our ambitious $300,000 target at 4.20pm and we were just totally overwhelmed - this is our largest one-day

Born in Buckinghamshire, England, Bob went to Kenya at the age of 19 looking for adventure. He found plenty; hunting big game, when that was still acceptable, rough shooting, playing polo, and sailing. He also found his wife Julie. Together they came to Australia in 1966 and in 1972 moved to Noosa where they raised their family of two daughters, Amanda and Cathryn, and a son, Robert, who all went to Noosa High. Bob worked first in pastoral management and then in journalism, starting as agricultural correspondent for the old Nambour Chronicle. He later was editor of the Noosa News, taking over from Julie, then was appointed features editor and finally property editor for the Sunshine Coast Daily. Though some in Noosa will still remember him from 1972-1973 when he and Julie operated the shire’s first deli and health food shop in the Majestic Arcade, Tewantin, and his brief stint in real estate. He had many interests and hobbies including birdwatching, bushwalking, canoeing, anthropology and palaeontology, camping, tennis, photography, chess, philosophy, poetry and music, especially blues and opera. Like many former hunters he became a keen environmentalist whose quiet but determined efforts helped preserve many a wilderness, especially Noosa National Park’s Lake Webya section. Shortly after Bob’s retirement in 1999 they moved to Mount Tamborine. His was a long, varied and worthwhile life and even though prolonged illness shadowed his last few years he remained active and en-

Native for Noosa Thanks to a Noosa Council Community and Environment grant of $6,818, the Noosa Integrated Catchment Assoc Inc (NICA) has been able to commission the re-building of the Noosa’s Native Plants website. In thanking Council for their support, NICA Secretary Tony Haslam said the work has been done by a local website builder, who migrated the data and functionality of the Noosa’s Native Plants website onto a modern platform with improved access via smart phones, tablets and personal computers. In the process of migration they have incorporated an up to date search capacity. Mr Haslam said the current website was launched over 10 years ago to complement and supplement the information contained in NICA’s botanical publications including Noosa’s Native Plants. The website, an important information and education resource is used frequently and freely by members of the public and NRM practitioners throughout Noosa and South East Qld, and incorporates useful search facilities, that allows the production of information pages on specific plants as well as species lists for several shire locations. Work on the website was overseen by NICA volunteer Stephanie Haslam who initiated this fantastic resource. For more information visit http:// www.noosasnativeplants.com.au/articles/happening-now

A cultural exchange By Margaret Maccoll Ian Grieve’s portraits, paintings, ceramics and life-size sculptures are renowned for capturing the natural beauty of a region or a subject’s expression or personality. The people of Ali Curung were “the last of the artefact makers“ creating boomerangs, spears, music sticks, water carriers, the tools for their hunter-gatherer existence.Ian’s decision to manage an Aboriginal art corporation in Ali Curung, a remote community in Northern Territory for 12 months turned into an 11 year meeting of cultures through art that asked so much more then the job entailed but gave back much more in return for both Ian and wife Judy Hall-Grieve. Ian’s long and impressive career as a painter, sculptor and potter did little to prepare him for the outback venture. His artworks can be found in galleries in Australia, Japan and China. His commissioned portraits of Queensland Premiers Mike Ahern and Russell Cooper grace the walls of Parliament House. Ian was the first Australian to be invited to lecture at the Central Academy of Art and Design in Beijing in 1990. He has hosted visiting artists from around the world and held numerous roles included those of past presidents of Queensland Arts Council (Sunshine Coast Branch), Society of Modern Art (Sunshine Coast) and Maroochy Shire Arts Festival committee, founding member of the Noosa Artisans Group, member of the board of the Noosa Regional Arts Show and coordinator of the International Cultural Exchange Program. To gain the role as manager of the Arlpwe Artists Aboriginal Corporation required Ian to be interviewed by a board of 10 Aboriginal people and they liked what they saw. Ian and Judy visited the community before the job application was submitted and they liked the idea of working with the community.

Working on a new sign

Work meeting It sounded like an idyllic position and before they left their acreage property at Doonan to head west both had visions of spending weekends painting landscapes. In reality they never found the time for their own art. Ian grew up with Aboriginal kids in Griffith but the community at Ali Curung, four hours from Alice Springs and two hours from Tennant Creek near the Devil’s Marbles (Karlu Karlu), were “different culturally”. “They were a bit shy, often had a great sense of humour,” Ian said. “We went with an open mind.” When the couple arrived they decided they would not buy local art, a move that earned

Work days. them respect from all tribes. The community was composed of about 600 people from four tribes who live separated into four distinct region, each speaking a different language. “If you go back 200 years they lived in well defined territories. If you spoke a different language you came from a different country,” Ian said. “It’s a very poor community. There’s no employment and little prospect of employment. Education is poor. People are often illiterate. Health issues are everywhere.” The couple were among about 20 nonAboriginal people who included police and teachers.

They quickly realised there was much to be done and they wanted to help. Through the art gallery Ian and Judy obtained funding to provide employment for six people. With women in the community focused mainly on child rearing it was young men who were most interested in employment. “Often it was their first job,” Ian said. Ian wanted to give the employees a broader experience of work than one they would receive solely at the Arlpwe Artists Aboriginal Corporation. They organised art days in Alice Springs, cultural exchanges to Darwin and Brisbane and a trip to Melbourne to sell their art at St Kilda markets.

“It was very enjoyable working with the young people. There were a lot of funny times, always good times,” he said. When they arrived at St Kilda they lasted only two hours, sold 3500 paintings, but were too cold to remain. Having never left the region their charges found driving on a busy Melbourne highway, flying in a plane and even taking a lift to be daunting encounters. “The experiences showed them there was another life,” Ian said. At the art centre Ian encouraged male and female artists to explore art in different ways and built up the skills of their workers. “I tried to introduce pottery, welding, sculpture,” he said. “When we hired these guys they were terrified of an electric drill. If you used a grinder they’d be out the door,” Ian said. “By the time we left they would do it comfortably.” Through role play Ian built up the confidence of their young employees so they could explain to visiting tourists the stories behind the artwork. “It’s the confidence to work with tools, to work with people. School failed them. They didn’t have the skill level to make them employable,” he said. The gallery grew in popularity and the atmosphere was welcoming. When they arrived the best pieces in the gallery sold for $400. When they left it was more than $7000. In addition to stimulating and promoting local art they wanted to make a difference in the community. Judy completed a number of courses to qualify for various training and administrative roles. She organised first aid courses, helped people gain their drivers licence and taught them how to use the internet for services such as internet banking. With the nearest town, Tennant Creek, a two-hour trip away at a cost of $200 by bus, the internet was a much-needed resource and Judy’s classes became popular.

In the art gallery

Artist May Wilson The art centre became the go-to place, Judy said. And materially they made a difference. They sourced funds and renovated the art gallery, added on additional rooms, improved the air-conditioning, created a lunch room. They created a bush garden and built a laundry. They portioned off an area for use as a child care centre and created a meeting area for senior men to hold discussions. The things we could do materially didn’t mean much but they meant a great deal in a

place were only 30 per cent of people had any white goods in their homes, Ian said. Life situations that we see as everyday activities were very complicated in the community, they said. Judy said organising a funeral for a relative would take 12 months during which time family members would grieve. Funerals involved collecting money from family members to raised the costs of $600010,000 and people had to be informed of the funeral taking place.

Judy said she regularly helped people to post notices of funerals and transported people to the cemetery. “A lot of people in positions of power resent Aboriginal people having power. We took the opposite view that the more power you give people the better over time,“ Ian said. Having returned to Doonan Ian and Judy are readjusting to life in Noosa and aim to write a book on their years at Ali Curung. “It was an experience we loved going through,” Ian said.

DIGESTION & DENTURES DIGESTION: Is extremely important for your health: Eating heathy, nutritious foods is the key to a health digestive system. It is also especially important to consider how we chew and break down food for proper absorption.

Food particles that are not broken down properly can cause bacterial overgrowth in the colon, which can lead to bloating, constipation, and other digestive problems. Good fitting Precision Dentures will help reduce these digestive issues.

You need Good Teeth: to chew and digest food, with the upper and lower teeth meshing with precision.

Does your denture fit securely? When dentures do not fit securely, the pleasure of savouring foods is often accompanied by the fear of embarrassing slips or clicks. Yet, another repercussion of poor-fitting dentures exists: a compromised digestive system. Issues such as indigestion, heartburn, headaches and low energy or fatigue could occur.

Your ability to eat: Missing teeth can also create difficulties in biting or chewing food. If your dentures are older than 5-6 years, it is time for an assessment to discuss the best options for your needs.

Chewing comfort: is often compromised for many people who wear dentures, and you may resort to eating softer foods. However, these foods are often high in fats and sugar, and lower in fibre. Without a diet that includes fibre, vitaminrich fruits and vegetables and protein-rich meats, the result often leads to constipation, and insufficient nutrients being absorbed.

Climate Change response Noosa Council is calling for feedback on a draft Climate Change Response Plan for the shire. It sets out actions to boost the community’s resilience to hotter temperatures, bushfires, extreme weather events and other climate change impacts, as well as reduce Noosa’s emissions, as a community. The draft plan builds on the work Council has been doing since 2016 to slash its own operational emissions to net-zero by 2026. Actions outlined in the draft plan cover a range of themes, including: Sustainable transport. Sustainable agriculture and food systems.

· ·

· Energy efficiency and renewable energy. · Clean low emissions industries. · Zero waste and circular economy. “Each theme has strategic climate risk actions and emissions reduction opportunities for the Noosa community and Council,” Council’s Carbon Reduction Project Officer, Annie Nolan, said. Sea level rise and other coastal hazards associated with climate change are dealt with in the Coastal Hazards Adaption Plan (CHAP), which was recently open for comment. “The CHAP sits beneath the Climate Change Response Plan, dealing specifically

with inundation from sea level rise and coastal erosion, as just one aspect of climate change,” Ms Nolan said. Councillor Brian Stockwell said the risks of climate change inaction were great, while taking an ambitious, proactive approach could provide business opportunities and build on Noosa’s well established green credentials and brand. “Climate change is not just an environmental issue. Taking action on climate addresses social issues affecting the community such as safe and affordable living,” he said. Cr Stockwell said there were important economic reasons to prepare for climate impacts.

“In the past 10 years Queensland paid more than double any other state and territory in recovering from, responding to and experiencing, extreme weather events and disaster losses,” he said. “By 2038, extreme weather events driven by climate change, as well as the impact of sea level rise, could cost the Australian economy $100 billion dollars every year. To put that into context, last year COVID cost us an estimated $160 billion.” Have a say on the Draft Climate Change Response Plan at Your Say Noosa - yoursay. noosa.qld.gov.au

Noosa Heads Rotary give the gift of life Noosa Heads Rotary Club will donate six defibrillators along the Noosa River foreshore as the their 100th birthday gift to the Noosa community. The celebration of 100 years of Rotary in Australia will take place on April 21 and the defibrillators are able to be donated with the assistance of a state government grant. President of the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads Geoff Bone, along with club Director, Bob Birkhead, recently met with local member, Sandy Bolton, to express appreciation for the support from the state government and to discuss the life saving potential of this decision. Geoff said, “As a club committed to providing community service we know that these life saving devices will certainly benefit both residents and visitors to our community - whilst it is Rotary’s Australian birthday but this time we are giving the presents.” Each day hundreds walk along the fore-

shores of the Noosa Rivers as part of their daily exercise routine with families enjoying the relaxing atmosphere around the barbecues, playgrounds and facilities. Sandy Bolton MP began advocating for a centralised Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) register for Queensland in 2018, with the Queensland Ambulance Service commencing this in 2020. Sandy said, “Although it is in it’s infancy it is only for access by Emergency Medical Dispatchers, we do have several suggestions being considered for it’s expansion and to improve the access to the information by the public - this is vitally important as AEDS’s are proven to save lives.” “Our sincere thanks go to the Noosa Heads Rotary Club for their support of AED’s within our community.” For anyone wanting to lodge the location of their AED with Queensland Ambulance Service you can go to their website www.am-

bulance.qld.gov.au/registered As part of the gift to the community Noosa Heads Rotary, it is planned to conduct sessions at Tait Duke Cottage for people to gain knowledge of CPR and the operation of the defibrillators. Geoff said, “Our Rotary Club is firmly committed to making a difference in our community with a number of projects being planned, and this is one very important step in supporting the community. “As a club we would like to engage with people of all age groups and backgrounds to consider being part of our Rotary family.” For more information www.rotarynoosaheads.org.au of give us a call on 0427 708 928.

MOLLY’S GAME SBS, 8.25pm

Renowned screenwriter Aaron Sorkin tuvrns his hand to directing with this entertaining biopic. Jessica Chastain plays Molly Bloom, a world-class skier who decides to run underground poker games for the rich and famous, eventually becoming the target of an FBI investigation. The dialogue is full of Sorkin’s trademark sparkle and the ﬁlm bristles with energy – despite its length and overuse of narration, audiences will most likely ﬁnd themselves drawn into Molly’s world.

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET WIN, 8.30pm

In this car-crash vision of the American Dream gone horribly wrong, Leonardo DiCaprio (above) is fabulous as infamous money market criminal Jordan Belfort. Based on a true story, it chronicles Belfort’s spectacular rise and fall. It’s a long and dizzying ride (the runtime clocks in at almost three hours), but DiCaprio’s performance – his character is fuelled by money and drugs – and his electric chemistry with Aussie co-star Margot Robbie as his put-upon trophy wife make for an eyeopening trip. Jonah Hill is highly entertaining as Belfort’s manic business partner Donnie Azoﬀ. Director Martin Scorsese proves he’s still got it with this rather humorous tale of destruction.

FINDING ALICE ABC TV, 8.20pm

Starring Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard) and Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous, right), and co-written by Simon Nye (Men Behaving Badly), Finding Alice is likely one of those series you either adore or a source of annoyance. Depending on which side of the fence you ﬁnd yourself on, it’s a delightful black comedy, or a confused drama infused with sudden light moments. At the crux of it all is a fancy, smart-technology new home and the titular Alice (Hawes), who has just moved into the abode with her husband – only to ﬁnd him dead at the bottom of their state-of-the-art stairs. Overcome with grief, and debt, Alice’s bereavement is heightened by the unfolding mystery.

It’s a dog’s life at 1770.

Chris at home on The Summit with the pack.

Dog whisperer returns By Phil Jarratt “I like to live and think like a dog,” former Noosa all-round waterman and businessman Chris De Aboitiz recently told the ABC’s Back Roads program. For many of the one-time Waikiki beach boy’s old friends, this admission explained a lot, but in fact Chris was referring to a life-long passion for our four-legged friends which, in the eight years since he moved to Agnes Water, has blossomed into an all-consuming business empire. Chris, Australian-born but raised in Hawaii, rolled into Noosa in the late 1980s and immediately became a force to be reckoned with, both for his uncanny skills on all forms of surfboard and for his business acumen. With what often seemed like reckless abandon, he moved from an ice cream van parked at the beach to establishing one of Noosa’s most successful and long-lasting surf shops with Noosa Longboards, to becoming the world tandem surfing champion and touring the world, demonstrating his ability to pick up girls, to introducing stand up paddling and kite-surfing to Noosa and beyond. (Chris’s son, Keahi, helped out with the kite-surf lessons and went on to become multiple world champion.) But it wasn’t until he decided to combine his love of dogs with the increased volume of stand up paddle boards and virtually invent a new sport that you could share with man’s best friend, that Chris became world famous. Videos of him surfing with one, two or even three of the well-trained dogs from his growing pack went viral on social media. Then he teamed up with Sunshine Coast success story VetshopAustralia in 2012 to introduce the Surfing Dogs Championships to the Noosa Festival of Surfing. Celebrating its 10th anniversary at the festival next month, the Surfing Dogs event was a runaway success from the start, with thousands of dog owners and lovers packing the beach and barking their approval as the dogs and their masters performed tricks as they rode to shore. As the event director at the time, this writer can well remember the delight of six former

Chris, Jacqui and Rama performing at the Noosa Festival. world champions, surfing in a celebrity demonstration event, as the crowd swelled at First Point, only to discover that the huge crowd was there to watch the dogs, not the superannuated surf stars. But, it should be noted, this was not the first surfing dogs event. Owners had been pushing their dogs into waves at surf festivals in California for several years, with the cameras clicking wildly as the frightened animals careened shoreward solo, usually wearing an aloha print onesie, or something even sillier. It was Chris who showed the world how to surf “with” your dog. After many successful years with surf hire operations in Noosa, Chris made the decision to move his operations to Agnes Water and

1770, on the beautiful but remote Discovery Coast. He recalls: “I arrived thinking I’d set up a SUP hire and surf school, but then buying acreage just kind of fell into my lap. I guess I’ve become a surfer trying to be a farmer, although maybe cultivating tourists instead of crops!” The 40 acres he bought just outside Agnes Water boasted a 360-degree view from what has become The Summit 1770, with smart, dog-friendly accommodations to suit all budgets, but we’ll get to that in a minute. First, he smashed it out of the park with his SUP hire and lessons. Says Chris: “With the SUPs, coming up here was a bit of a no-brainer. 1770 is a great location, very user friendly for the clients and easy for me to park the van with all the equipment,

and you’re protected from the prevailing wind, so for me that’s a 10 out of 10. And for quite a while that was the backbone of my working life here. Then I became an owner-builder, and everything else kind of stopped.” As a frequent visitor to Agnes, I’ve watched every step of Chris’s development of The Summit property and his philosophy of the management of dog behaviour with nothing short of amazement. The term dog whisperer began as a joke, based on an American reality TV star, but when Chris gets started on something, he really is like a, ahem, dog with a bone, and he truly is a dog whisperer now, with the ability to change the behaviour of dozens of dogs at a time while minding them and letting their owners have a holiday.

Chris and Rama selfie. The property has been the scene of frenetic tradie activity for years, but things really moved ahead last year when Covid struck and Chris saw Agnes filling with caravan and motorhome tourists. He says: “When C-19 hit, I thought, I’m going to develop a dog-friendly caravan park down on the lower slopes of the property, put in an amenities block and just let it happen organically. It’s been a year now since we started turning the idea into a reality and it’s been a real mission, but we’re on the home stretch.” Now in his late fifties, Chris admits that doing everything from project managing to digging drainage trenches has taken a toll on him. “I wear all sorts of hats and my surfing has definitely suffered through all of this, but now I’m getting back into it. For too long now when I get up in the morning I’m not thinking about a sunrise surf, I’m thinking about how much work I can get done around the place before it gets too hot. “It’s time for me to become the top dog again, and look at everything through a dog’s eyes. Dogs live in the now, they’re not worried about mortgage payments or having three legs, they’re not playing the bully or the victim. If they have a problem with another dog, they move on, whereas we carry it. So I’m not going to worry about any of it - I’m gonna go surfing

Picture: SUPDOGOZ with my pack!” And a lot of dog lovers will be relieved to hear that Chris, his partner Jacqui and his faithful pack will be back at the Noosa Festival of Surfing next month, headlining the VetShop Australia Surfing Dog Championships on opening day, Saturday May 15 from 1.30pm at First Point Noosa. Organisers are also hopeful they’ll be able to include at least one of Chris’s popular dog surfing clinics. I asked Chris what he had in store for the festival. Had he taught his old dogs new tricks? “I haven’t had a lot of time to practise for the festival, but this old dog still has a couple of tricks up his sleeve. And I’ve got a new member of the pack named Foil. He’s a year-old cross between a Jack Russell and a cattle dog. When I got him his name was Disco, so that had to go, and he likes to surf on the foil with me, so that was that. He’s a very confident little dog and he gives a lot of bang for his buck. “Old favourite Rama’s still on the team. In fact every morning when I wake up, he and Max will be running circles around the van, waiting to get in and go to the SUP office at the beach. They’ll sit in the van all day long waiting for the chance to go for a surf. Well, we’ll all be doing plenty of that next month in Noosa.” For more information about The Summit 1770, visit https://thesummit1770.com.au

Queensland lagging behind Mayor Stewart says (NT 26/3) that the new local law re STA’s was “back on the agenda after the state government deferred its plans for a state wide framework to manage short term letting“, because the state has -“other priorities in the wake of Covid 19“. Is every minister within state government really so busy with 1 or 2 current cases? I hear quite a few people have approached the government on various issues and election promises, including a already once postponed, much anticipated and needed proposed bill on VAD - the excuse of “covid“, seems to feature heavily in their responses and ultimate “inability“ to look at other issues. VIC, WA, and very recently, TAS (despite Covid) now have VAD legislation. SA is currently debating... Will Queensland be last -again? Around 7 people suicide in Queensland each month to escape their suffering. Many Queenslanders voted Labor at the last election, because they promised to make VAD a priority. Is this a “How many politicians does it take to change a lightbulb“ moment? M.Gaynor, Noosaville

Still unacceptable Mr Dass, you recently made an incorrect presumption that I was a new, complaining resident after reading my letter. I’ve been a resident for 23 years. You may like to curtail your distaste for any new comer actually having a voice and an opinion. In response to Woody Dass and JS regarding tradies working early. As if I was referring to electricians! And how predictable Mr. Dass was playing the ‘It’s so hot card’. Actually at this time of year there is very little difference in temperature between 7 and 9 and many people have to tolerate hot working conditions inside and out. I was referring to jack hammers and wood planers at 7am. How I would like to stand outside your living space at that hour with these tools going non stop for 8 hours. Still unacceptable.

Duty of care After phoning the council on 4th Feb, to complain that the pathway in our street through to Old Gympie St was over grown. That walking down path 4ft wide the weeds touched your legs from both sides, and needed trimming. Phoned council second time about 10 days later and told it was still on the list to be done. Phoned third time 4th March told again it was on the list to be done. On the 6th March my

neighbour walking his dog spent two nights in Noosa hospital with snake bite. Council was notified by another neighbour, and told it would be classed a priority. Seem’s the council don’t have a duty of care to it’s ratepayers. Wed 24th tried to contact two of our councillors but they did not answer their phones. If that’s the best the council can do I should get a rate cut. Still waiting. Very disappointed ratepayer. Eric Bolesworth. Tewantin

Noosa ZEN Superheroes ZEN Superheroes were a feature at the recent Reducing Energy Costs for Business Forum by Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. (ZEN) as part of Noosa Council’s Climate Week. “Our ZEN Superheroes are the businesses within the Shire that are saving between 33 percent and 100 percent on their power bills by using solar and being energy efficient”, said ZEN vice-president Anne Kennedy. “We had three of our Superheroes, Di Henshall,

Andrew Chapman and Warren Smith as forum panel members talking about their business decisions to invest in solar and energy efficiency.” Award-winning interior designer Di Henshall’s advice for businesses was: “Always look to the future. Invest in solar to future-proof your business. Whether you are renting or own your own building, this is not only environmentally responsible; it is also a very

sound business decision.” Warren Smith, general manager of Noosa Marina in Tewantin, highlighted how businesses can make savings from solar and energy efficiency even if they don’t own their building. “We have 100 KWH of solar power, with one power bill from the energy retailer. Each tenant has their own sub-meter. We read it, charge them for their power consumption, giving them a 20 percent discount on their power

bill. This saves them hundreds of dollars, especially businesses using cooling equipment, such as restaurants.” Andrew Chapman from Andrew’s A Grade Mechanical in Pomona agrees. “Having solar we are drawing energy from a free source - the sun. Even on cloudy days we are still using power from our solar system. I’m blown away by how well this system works.”

A Baptism of fire - Part II By Alan Lander With many new faces, and the immediate impact of Covid-19, it has been a baptism of fire for both ‘new’ and re-elected councillors. Noosa Today asked for their views on a range of issues, after one year on the job. Last week featured responses from Mayor Clare Stewart and Crs Joe Jurisevic and Amelia Lorentson. This week: Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie and Crs Tom Wegener, Karen Finzel and Brian Stockwell. What have you found to be the most challenging aspects of handling Covid’s effects? Cr Wilkie: “The challenge involved accepting the certainty of uncertainty, and that multiple, valid, but conflicting interests can be at play at the same time. “Some in our community have suffered great hardships while others have thrived. “All measures had to be implemented without sacrificing any of Noosa’s key points of difference nor its reputation as a safe and welcoming community and destination.” Cr Wegener: “My problem was understanding the situation. Many businesses were hit hard. Many of my international friends left for home leaving a shortage of hospitality workers. “Noosa, overall, managed exceptionally well with many businesses growing exponentially and housing prices and rents going up. “While many are out of work and being pushed out of the rental market, the Peregian Digital Hub has job openings but can’t fill positions because the applicants cannot find housing in Noosa.” Cr Finzel: “The enormity of decision making for our families and visitors alike brought with it a huge sense of responsibility especially around the unknown risks. “Firstly, I had to remain calm then quickly learn to combine confidence in my own leadership style, while landing in a new role of governance with a team of people I had not worked with before, and weigh up the information from advisors and health specialists. “It has been baptism by fire.” Cr Stockwell: “During the first few months the challenge was to get the new lot together on the same page, [while] giving staff the time and space to respond to keep our community safe and soften the economic impact. “To be honest an immense body of work was shouldered by the staff. “[That] we attracted numerous state and federal grants to help keep local jobs during the recession is a testament to their commitment. “The challenge [now] is getting the huge body of capital works completed on time.” How do you see the next 12 months in terms of Covid recovery? Cr Wilkie: “The community’s council-managed finances are strong so, barring any outbreaks or natural disasters, the long-standing focus on providing quality services, community support, responsible long-view initiatives and upkeep of community assets will continue. “There are some exciting new projects proposed to be delivered in a very, very ambitious, record-breaking public works program, funded in part by a record $25million in state and federal grants. Cr Wegener: “The best service council can provide is to facilitate people pivoting into new jobs and riding the wave of change. “I think the economic development team has been fantastic with collecting information, bringing a sense of hope and control, and pulling the community together.” Cr Finzel: “The recovery will be ongoing. COVID has forced fundamental change. “If we advocate for the implementation of astute policies with sufficiently broad appeal, stay committed to contemporary, valuesbased strategies building resilience in our communities, remaining open to change as opportunity, and respectfully cooperate with each other I believe we can work achieve our social, economic, and environmental goals. Cr Stockwell: “The most confronting challenge now is the secondary impacts, probably the most significant being the housing crisis. “This is not an area where local government traditionally has a role, but we need to do what we can to facilitate more community housing.

“The lack of affordable options for our families and workers from the influx of southerners is causing heartbreak, seeing people forced to give up their pets, leave town and sometimes leave their jobs.” (For new councillors) How different, if at all, did you find actually working in council to what you perceived prior to being elected? What issues have you found to be a bigger challenge than you initially thought? Cr Wegener: “I am very happy with my new role. I love the enormous amount of reading and thinking it takes to do the job. “Literally, many days my brain hurts from exhaustion. The camaraderie among staff and councillors is really inspirational. We are in a place of mutual respect. “I can see we do the best job when we work as a team (and leave the politics from the past election way in the past).” Cr Finzel: “My core values determine my authenticity as a leader and as such they need to be reflected when it comes to leveraging on my strengths around the decision-making process. “The challenge has been to work effectively with intent alongside others who may have opposing ideas. “To build trust with each other and our community within a system which historically works against women. (For re-elected councillors) The last election saw a substantial number of new councillors as well as a new mayor come on board. In what ways, if any, have you changed your approach to working as a councillor in the new

team and how challenging has that been? Cr Wilkie: “It’s been a pleasure to work in with the new councillors who all bring a great range of talents and strengths. “I’ve never stopped learning and haven’t really changed the way I work with council staff or [elected councillors]. “It’s been deeply gratifying to have new colleagues who, after gaining insight on council operations, initiatives and strategies, have shown a capacity to identify views of substance and value to the long-term benefit of the shire. Cr Stockwell: “Your question presupposes that there was a team in the last council. “In fact, there was a councillor who remonstrated that we were not, and did a lot that meant it was difficult to work as a cohesive unit. “It is somewhat of an irony that after one of the most divisive election campaigns in decades we have ended up with one of the most harmonious councils. The propaganda campaigns have dried up and working with a new group of councillors who are intelligent, community focussed and affable has been a delight, not a challenge. “The new dynamic has fostered me to change my debating style: less adversarial, more reasoned. If there was one thing you could change in council, what would it be? Cr Wilkie: “[It has] changed already. “But major projects intended to leave the shire in a better place for future generations ... all take time, effort and co-operation between many departments, individuals and often oth-

er levels of government.” Cr Wegener: “Seriously, I would not change a thing. “I am very impressed with the people and the organisation and, after one year, I feel at home here.” Cr Finzel: “Given the current conversations around the reputation of government in Australia I would like to promote ongoing advocacy for cultural change to specifically address any behaviours that may arise in the workplace which are inconsistent with a safe and supportive working environment.” Cr Stockwell: “Too often our decisions are based on undertaking ‘business as usual’ underpinned by decisions made in an era now past. “We must think long-term; for example, an inordinate amount of our budget is consumed with servicing the private motor vehicle when the future demands that we invest in other forms of transport. “Operationally we are spending far more on chopping trees down each year than planting them. “Forests help draw carbon pollution out of the atmosphere and create shade to help residents cope with the predicted increased frequency of heatwaves in the future. “We have some well thought out and ambitious targets in our policies and plans we need to have the courage to make meaningful investments in them, even if it means foregoing investment in some of the ‘sacred cows’ of the past.” Friday, 2 April, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 31

Surf’s up for Home Bros By Abbey Cannan Waves are pumping and they’re stuck in traffic; it’s the horror film of the century. With broken boards, beers, and backyard cricket, Home Bros is more of a relaxed love letter to the Sunshine Coast surf scene than a thriller. The independent surf film, shot and edited by Tai Jennison, features local surf talents Alister Reginato, Cooper Davies, Noah Stocca, Connor Lyons and Jack Reginato. Lockdown gave these boys a chance to surf their local break without the impending tourists, and they made the most of every wave. The short film has a nostalgic feeling, with the irony of a global pandemic enforced lockdown allowing a freedom like no other. “We were all competing on the QS (Qualifying Series) together as competitors from the Sunny Coast and travelling together like a family,“ Cooper said. “Basically Covid came about and we managed to get back home in time before lockdown. “Being from Noosa, it was pretty epic having the surf break to ourselves during that time. We definitely capitalised on that moment that’s for sure.“ A premiere at the Boiling Pot Brewery was used to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, with the help of sponsors donating goods. Cooper said the cause was important as it had not only affected his family personally, but so many others around Australia. “We’ve had so many generous donations for the auction from all types of companies, both high end brands and local businesses,“ he said. Tai said there had been an awesome re-

Everyone supports each other and we’ve really appreciated it,“ he said. He made it home from Hawaii when Covid hit and was able to spend the year filming with his best mates.

“We’ve always been friends growing up on the Coast since we were young and they’ve always been doing competitions, whereas I was more filming free surfing stuff,“ Tai said. “We realised that we would be home for a while so we decided to link up and spent nearly every day together and just had a great time. “It ended up being a great year for waves

and we just put it all together and ended up with a good film.“ If there’s anything to take away from the film, it’s that Noosa’s pie shop has the best pies in Australia. Head to Tai Jennison’s Youtube Channel to watch the film or visit the link: https://youtu. be/oKX-91vZVyg

Hop on board the Mary Valley Rattler for special Easter services The Mary Valley Rattler is organising a range of special services over Easter to cater for families. Four special ‘Hop on Board’ services have been scheduled daily from 2 - 5 April, with the Rattler’s mascot - Steam Man - joining kids on board and in an Easter Egg Hunt at Amamoor Station, before the train turns on the heritage turntable and returns to Gympie.

Climate watch with Dr Lisa Ryan What is ClimateWatch? How can you be involved in this program? Dr Lisa Ryan, an Environmental Education Officer with Sunshine Coast Council and an Adjunct Research Fellow with the Sustainability Research Centre at the University of the Sunshine Coast, will present an overview of the ambitious ClimateWatch program. ClimateWatch is a citizen science program that aims to understand phenology - the seasonal behaviour of Australia’s plants and animals and how this is affected by changes in temperature and rainfall (eg. flowering, fruiting, breeding, migration and hibernation). Shifts in phenology are simple indicators for climate change responses in the natural world. As one of the first continent-wide phenology projects, ClimateWatch is an ambitious program that enables every Australian to be involved in collect-

Citizen scientists collecting data at Maroochy Wetlands. Picture: DR LISA RYAN ing and recording data that will help shape the country’s scientific response to climate change. Dr Ryan’s experience in the local area is extensive. At Sunshine Coast Council she coordinates Environmental Education Programs across council’s three Environmental Education

Centres including the award-winning Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve and school-based Kids in Action Program. She recently assisted the Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary Support Group establish a ClimateWatch Trail, with funding from the Australian Government’s Community Environment Program. Come along to learn from Dr Lisa Ryan about how you can get involved in ClimateWatch either through established ClimateWatch trails or in your own backyard. The Friday Environment Forum will be held on 9 April at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville with coffee, tea and biscuits available from 10am and the program starting at 10:30am. Entry is $5 by ‘tap & go’ only. All COVID-19 protocols will be followed. Registration is essential via link found on www.noosaparks.org.au/friday-environmentforum/.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Great food, hold the PC Trevor Pepys reviews Sum Yung Guys As an avid fan of anyone who flies in the face of the more absurd dictates of political correctness, Trevor has been trying to get over to Sum Yung Guys in far-flung Sunshine Beach since last February, when Gourmet Traveller magazine belatedly chucked a few hand grenades at a restaurant that opened four years ago over its clever and amusing name. In a pompous and longwinded article, GT opined: “Whether it’s Mexican restaurants that reference the war on drugs or a white-owned venue that serves Asian cuisine while ridiculing Asian languages, when we talk about problematic restaurant names, we need to talk about race. We need to talk about power and who is in the position of privilege. Whose culture is being co-opted for profit? And ultimately – who is losing out in the transaction?” Oh puleez! GT went on: “As a restaurant name, ‘Some Young Guys’ is innocuous enough. Some young men, full of culinary chutzpah, confidence and capital, open their dream restaurant. It’s a familiar story. But what if those four owners are white men? What if … ‘Some Young Guys’ is styled as ‘Sum Yung Guys’ in a deliberate lampooning of east Asian languages, rendered in a font that could be described as a colonial typographer’s day trip to Chinatown? What if, what if? Well, Trev would respond good on you, young guys, for not only being innovative and clever in the kitchen, but for having the cojones (that’s Spanish for testicles, so there’s another PC black mark) to take on the PC idiots with a name that’s about as offensive as the hit film Crazy Rich Asians, which several Asians I know regard as the funniest film ever made. (It isn’t.) But Trevor had better get to the food before he runs out of space. First, we had to eat dinner mid-afternoon (5.30pm) because food lovers have taken such offense to the name that they’ve booked out every sensible dining option for months in advance. When we left a couple of hours later, the punters waiting for the 7.30pm sitting had completely blocked Duke Street, so clearly, the restaurant is in trouble, and this is probably why they’ve bought a much bigger premises in Noosaville and will make the move shortly. We were three, and because it was so early we decided to share a few selections from the small and medium lists, and finish with just one from the large. From a previous visit just after Guys opened, Trev remembered a rather over the top wine list, so he was pleasantly surprised to discover this time several good affordable offerings, and settled on the Cantina Tollo Italian Pinot Grigio ($38), a good quaffer that hardly touched the sides and required a follow-up bottle when we ordered the food.

34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 2 April, 2021

Behind the bar at Sum Yung Guys.

Bright lights of SYG. Off the smalls list we chose King Prawn Toast with gochu mayo and sesame ($15), and the Wagyu Tartare with coconut, cardamom and taro ($17). Our medium selection was the Fraser Isle Spanner Crab Fried Rice ($29) and off the large we went for the Crying Tiger Pork Belly, nam jim jaew glaze and fried garlic ($38). The prawn toast hit the spot for starters but was immediately outgunned by the sensational wagyu tartare – succulent beef pieces with just the right blending of spices to make the dish pop. The spanner crab fried rice was a more delicate version of a favourite of Trev’s

Picture: SUPPLIED

Prawn toast, yum.

Spanner crab and Crying Tiger, delicious.

from fishing ports all over Indonesia and Malaysia, and it melted in the mouth. Crying Tiger is a traditional Thai dish usually based on rare beef, but the switch to pork belly was a masterstroke (from a one-time MasterChef), with the lightly-spiced marinade bringing out the flavours beautifully. We considered desserts, but couldn’t manage. This was ample food for three people. The verdict: Matt Sinclair and his tattooed mates have created a funky and fashionable brand that delivers truly exceptional food at a reasonable price for such quality. Trev and his

team look forward to coming back to the new Weyba Road venue soon. Just one tip – older citizens of our shire tend to eat early, and also tend to enjoy conversation while eating. We couldn’t hear ourselves think for doof doof, and when we asked if it could be turned down, it was politely explained to us that this is what a modern restaurant is like. Well, it shouldn’t be, but persistence paid off, and on the third request the music went down a couple of decibels. Sum Yung Guys, 8/46 Duke St Sunshine Beach, phone 5324 1391

How the Chorale brought a tear to Dawn’s eye By Jim Fagan The little girl was splashing up and down the ornamental pool at Acres outdoor café at Noosaville last Wednesday and quickly her mother snatched her out of the water, scolding, “Other people don’t like getting wet.” A nearby customer called out, “I don’t think the lady will mind. She’s used to water.” “The lady,” Australian swimming legend Dawn Fraser AC MBE OLY whose record as an athlete includes 8 Olympic medals (four gold and four silver), 41 world records and World Athlete of the Century (awarded in 1999 at the World Sports Awards in Vienna) smiled at the recognition. The previous evening she had been present at a Noosa Chorale rehearsal for its “Spirit of Olympia-Music from the Olympic Games” concerts in May at the J. Dawn has accepted the Chorale’s invitation to be its Ambassador for the concerts and we were talking about the practice and how she felt listening to the choir. “I got goosebumps when I heard them sing the Hallelujah Chorus.” To me, music like this brings back a lot of memories. When you are at the Olympics you hear the music but, because you are concentrating on your sport, it goes out of your head. To have it all brought back to me is marvellous.” Dawn, now 83, has been living in Noosa for 12 years. She first visited Noosa in the late 70’s and about 20 years ago purchased a property. “I couldn’t stay there full time because I was still busy mentoring swimmers and disabled athletes and it was better for me to be based in Sydney. “My daughter Dawn-Lorraine who was living in Sydney decided to make her home in Noosa with my grandson Jackson who was then about three. I was in Sydney but I was missing them and feeling very depressed. I came here for his fifth birthday, went home, packed up and came to Noosa to live. “Also, I didn’t have any grandparents and I didn’t want him to grow up like that. I wanted him to know me as his grandmother.” Dawn is relishing life. She described how she is “on call for a lot of swimmers,” is guest speaker at fundraisers for community groups and not for profits like Assistance Dogs in Brisbane. She is also athlete liaison officer for the Australian swimming team. She is a keen mentor for swimmers at championships. “If the kids are upset about maybe their stroke, what depresses them, not happy with their coach, they can come and talk to me. “It’s good that they don’t have to go to their coach and say I don’t like what you’ve done for me. They tell me all their problems and I then go to the coach and say they are not very happy with the way you have them doing this. I say let’s try and do it this way and it works.” Harry Gallagher, the mastermind behind other swimming greats like Jon Henricks and Michael Wenden, was her swim coach. For most of his life she called him Mr Gallagher. “We had a wonderful relationship. He taught me self-discipline. As an example, if I wanted to go to the movies, I would have to do double training. That was why I became so good, I guess. “He was a big influence in my life. His coaching was done in a scientific way that no one then thought was the best way. He wanted to know about the heart so he brought in Professor Edward Both who invented the portable electrographic machine. He trialled it on Jon Henricks and me. “Today everything is done by computers, in swimming and all sorts of sports. Athletes have physiotherapists with them 24 hours a day. We didn’t have that. I couldn’t afford a massage a week which you need to repair muscles that hurt.” Harry Gallagher died early this year aged 96 and Dawn described a visit she made to his aged care home on the Gold Coast. “His name was Henry but he hated it, always insisting on Harry. In the aged care home he was always angry and, when I asked him 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 2 April, 2021

Chorale accompanist Janet Brewer, music director Adrian King, Dawn Fraser and president Kay Cartwright

Noosa Chorale singers Linda Bishop, Marianne Nicolopoulos, Robyn Charlesworth with Dawn Fraser why, he said they were calling him ‘Henry.’ I saw the boss and asked ‘Will you change his name to Harry? “He doesn’t like Henry. That’s why he is so cross.” Dawn agreed she could claim some indelible moments in her life. Post her career as an athlete, she owned a pub in Sydney’s inner west and was the NSW MP for Balmain She also says she opened probably the first cheese shop in Balmain. “It was just down the corner from the hospital and people, instead of getting flowers, would come and get a cheese basket. It became very successful.” One achievement which pleases her greatly is having “worked very hard in getting the amateur status of swimmers removed. Today, if you break a world record or do a better time kit it should be recognised.

“Behind the scenes there are people like Gina Reinhardt directly rewarding swimmers. I feel happy that I was a pioneer in achieving that sort of thing for amateurs. “If I did anything for the television and I got paid 20 pounds, I would have to justify everything, how I spent the money and show invoices and send it to the Australian Swimming Union. “Officials were receiving all the benefits from what we were doing they were getting money from the gate and were travelling first class all round the world. “I had to work two jobs a week and train sometimes seven to eight hours a day. I did it because I wanted to achieve. “A lot of athletes were let down. We had to pay our coaches to train us and that was a terrible injustice.”

Dawn has already started her ambassadorial role with the Chorale. “I told Pat Welsh (sports presenter, Channel 7 in Brisbane) about the concert and how the choir had put together a programme of music from the Opening and Closing Ceremonies from the Games. I also told him the choir thought it was a world first. “He is very interested and he has promised to send a camera crew to a rehearsal.” And what next for Dawn Fraser? She grinned. “Well, I am going to continue to live a healthy life so I can go to the Olympics in Brisbane in 1932. I have also promised Jackson who is 18 that I will dance with him on his 21st birthday. That’s why I keep fit.” Tickets now on sale. “The Spirit of Olympia” at the J, May 28 and 29. Price $45.

SOCIAL SCENE

Trees planted for tourism By Margaret Maccoll Tourism Noosa ended its Climate Week activities with a Trees for Tourism tree planting day at John’s Landing last Friday. With help from Noosa and District Landcare and the community 500 trees were planting bringing to 2378 the number of trees planted since the program started in 2019. Tourism Noosa’s environment and sustainability manager Juanita Bloomfield said the program operates from the collection of $1 per participant in local events with large events including Ironman’s Noosa Triathlon and marathon and Noosa Eat and Drink festival being major contributors. Juanita said the program had raised about $26,500 and planted more than 2300 trees

with COVID19 restrictions limiting contributions in 2020. She said Noosa and District Landcare provided advice on the locations for tree planting with many trees planted previously on the Noosa Trail to provide feed for koalas, prevent erosion and provide shade for trail users. Ironman’s Rob Stalling who helped with the tree planting last week praised the program, saying it aligned with Ironman’s sustainability goals. Since Noosa Council purchased John’s Landing the former camping ground has been cleared of items including old car bodies and buildings and allowed to revegetate. Councillor Tom Wegener said Council had not determined a purpose for the John’s Landing. “It’s a blank canvas as far as Council is concerned,“ he said.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Abundant rains, long tail With the start of the week providing blustery and wet conditions it felt like it was here to stay. Although this stopped a lot of anglers from heading out it did give the seas a break from boat traffic. The flooding rains have pushed a lot of bait out into the bays and as predicted the longtail have followed. Nearing the full moon the entire coastline had longies showing up and gorging themselves. This is of course the time where anyone with a boat can catch anything from a 2kg to a huge 20kg+ fish. Having the correct equipment is important and as a great all-rounder look at snapper rods around 5-8 and 6-10kg rating. These will mostly handle cast weights around 45 grams but have enough backbone to make fighting them enjoyable rather than a chore. Other reef fish are sweetlip and snapper around the 50-60cm size. These are the perfect eating size and will take a wide range of soft plastics, jigs up to 80 grams in shallower waters and even soft vibes like the Zerek fish trap. Keep leaders around 20-25lb especially as the seas start to clear up and use fluorocarbon for its resistance to abrasion. Remember if using braid, you need to learn a knot to tie your leader on. If you need help with this be sure to pop in and ask us how. Surf fishing is producing the usual dart and bream with the occasional tailor and trevally. As we push closer to cooler weather now is the time to practice your rigging skills for making ganged hooks and paternoster rigs for the run of bigger fish. If you have never tried slide baiting then this is the time of year where mackerel and longtail tuna are a great target and will provide some blistering runs. Come in and take a look at our wide range of surf rods for all styles of fishing including Alvey and long cast. The Noosa River as expected is running brown from all the rains. While it is like this you are best to focus your attentions around the mouth and the various points as things start to clear up. Flathead continue to feature and as always will take a huge array of lures and baits. Snelling whole whitebait and hardy heads is a great way to fish. Using the weight of the bait only you can cast these up current and let them drift along. While drifting maintain a slow retrieve so you feel the bite and can set the hook. Another option is the soft vibe in smaller sizes. As previously mentioned, these not only work well offshore but in the river with flatties and trevally being two species that take these lures. Away from the river the freshwater scene is still calming down from the rains. Lake Macdonald reached over 110% capacity and saw the spillways pumping a lot of water downstream. While it is like this the bass will be sitting deep and can be hard to tempt. Reducing presentations to the smallest 2 inch soft plastics or blades may trigger a bite. Lake Borumba continues to sit below 80% capacity. Although

Caleb and Dex Lloyd won the $100.00 Tackle World Noosa/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize with this quality Noosa River mangrove jack. this sounds high the timbers are claiming boat props daily as anglers refuse to go slow once beyond the float line. The bass are schooling up in the main basin and can be hard to get a bite from so much like Lake MacDonald you will have to cycle through your lure box to trigger a bite. Now for all the latest information log onto www.fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

SPORT

Croquet is thriving locally Noosa Croquet Club Continues to thrive in its attractive setting at Seashell Place Noosa Water with membership hovering around the 70 mark, and playing numbers are quite high even though the weather has been so hot. And wet. Players like their croquet so much they play through the rain. The Club has just finished running its internal Golf Croquet Singles competition, the Jan van der Linden Trophy played on a round robin over a number of Saturday afternoons. The competition honours one long serving and hardworking member who passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. The first level contested was for those on higher handicaps, i.e. mostly newer players, and was keenly contested. Cher Boyd won through this level congratulations. The lower level handicap players have just completed their section of the competition and the winner was Rob Moncrieff with John Dark as runner-up. A close finish. The Club was to host one event of the Regional Golf Championships in late March for players from all over the Sunshine Coast but unfortunately the heavy rains meant a cancellation. This may yet be rescheduled. We are preparing for the interclub competitions which begins in April at three different levels - once these start we will be busy for a few months. In particular, the new Plate level of interclub competition looks to be exciting this is particularly for newer and higher handicap players and is to be run with an emphasis on being an introduction to competition with a bit less strain and stress for the more serious competitions. Or so it is said! Nevertheless, social play continues on most days at the Club and fresh faces are always welcome. This Sunday 3 April Noosa will be hosting a friendly competition against Nambour Croquet Club which is for newer players. This Haber-Gugich Shilled is an annual event for

Swinging in the rain.

Competition winner Rob Moncrieff and runner up John Dark. players who are just beginning and are not yet playing in serious competition. It introduces newer players to the rules and regulations of competitive play and has been quite successful. Currently Nambour holds the Shield but Noosa looks threatening. Remember, Sunday mornings are always Come and Try mornings from about 8.30 a.m. so everyone is welcome to join in. Enquiries, ring Niven Gugich on 0428 799 987.

Pin High Peter Owen

How to cut 35 strokes By Peter Owen A normal day for tamatoa stanfield begins at 5.30am with nine holes of solitary golf at Noosa Golf Club, followed by six hours of wedge and chipping practice, an hour or two on the driving range, then, if there’s time, another nine holes in the late afternoon. Often his schedule needs to also include a stint of working in the pro shop, where he collects and maintains the golf carts and sometimes helps out behind the counter. It’s a gruelling grind, to be sure, but that’s the sort of dedication it takes to slice your handicap from 36 to one in just four years, and cement your place as one of the game’s brightest young stars on the Sunshine Coast. Tamatoa hadn’t picked up a club until his mum Kaia persuaded him to join a couple of his younger brothers at a kids’ clinic at Noosa a little over four years ago. Before then, he had been a more than handy tennis player, taking part in regional tournaments and showing considerable promise. “I dropped tennis after I started playing golf,” he said. “But it was really hard for me in those early days. “I just couldn’t get the ball in the air.” But with the encouragement of his coach Jimmy Douris, who found five second-hand golf clubs for him to use, Tamatoa put his head down and practiced. And practiced. And practiced. “I worked really hard,” said Tamatoa, flashing the smile that’s never far from his face. “Once I got the hang of it, I found the more I practiced the better I got.” In his first full year of golf, he took 10 shots off his handicap; in the second year another 10; then another five in the following year. “That’s when it got really hard,” Tamatoa said. His response, of course, was to work even harder. And it paid off. Now established as one of Noosa’s premier players, he travelled to the Gold Coast earlier this year to play in the Southport Open, an elite amateur event. Then, earlier this month, he had a crack at qualifying for the Queensland Open at Pelican Waters. He shot four-over-par 76 in pre-qualifying and missed out. Disappointed at the time at what he thought was a failure, Tamatoa now realises that his performance – a nervous fiveover-par on the first nine, followed by one-under-par on the second – was pretty special for an inexperienced 18-year-old. And, anyway, it gave him the opportunity to caddie for his coach Jimmy Douris in the state championship, where he learned some valuable lessons about playing top-class golf. “It made me realise the importance of a good short game, of planning and preparation, and of never giving up on a hole,” he said. “It showed me where my game needed to be.” Tamatoa, who is of Papua New Guinea heritage without ever having set foot in that country, is the eldest of six boys who live within a couple of hundred metres of Noosa Golf Club. None of the brothers who accompanied Tamatoa to that long ago junior clinic stuck with golf. “They reckon it’s boring,” Tamatoa said. “But I love it. I love the challenge; I love shaping shots. “It’s a tough mental game, for sure, but sometimes I like to be in my zone, by myself, just playing golf.” Like most promising young golfers, Tamatoa has ambitions about making a career out of the game – preferably as a touring tournament player but, if that doesn’t work out, somewhere in the industry. He’ll concentrate this year on playing amateur events, including next month’s Sunshine Coast Open Amateur at Headland, and next year he’ll apply for a traineeship – perhaps even at Noosa Golf Club, where he’s already held in high regard by the professional team.

Tamatoa Stanfield at work behind the counter at Noosa Golf Club. who champions the All Abilities Golf programme at Cooroy, has long respected and admired indigenous culture. Indeed, he’s always included a healthy dose of Aboriginal education and nature studies into his weekly clinics for disabled golfers at Cooroy. So it’s no surprise that Marc is the man behind the innovative All Abilities Golf Cultural Day at Cooroy from 10am to 1pm on Monday, April 12. He’ll be joined by Aboriginal dancers and digeridoo artists, as well as Elder Uncle Allan Parson, who will discuss bush tucker and bush medicine. There’ll be a yarning circle and visitors will sample lemon myrtle cheesecake, made from the lemon myrtle trees growing on Cooroy golf course. Golfers will get to show their skills at pitching, driving and putting. The cost is $20 and you can book by calling Marc Bright on 0402 447 317. Suddenly golf is trendy It’s official – more people are playing golf than ever before. Rounds of golf played were up 15% last year – and that includes figures from Melbourne, where golf was banned for four months during the COVID-19 lockdown in that city. “Young men are taking up the game in droves, and we are seeing pleasing increases in young women taking up the game,” said Golf Australia CEO James Sutherland.

Overall golf participation rates rose to 995,000 in 2019-2020, after falling to 917,000 in the year to June 2019, according to an AusPlay survey. That puts golf ahead of tennis, surfing and netball among Australia’s 15 top activities, but behind yoga (1.36 million) and soccer (1.1 million). The top activity among adults in the year to June 2020 was walking (9.54 million). ‘‘COVID-19 has reminded people about the value of being outdoors and having fun,’’ Mr Sutherland said. Kids are free at Noosa Springs There’s never been a better time to take your kids to Noosa Springs. During the current school holidays kids up to the age of 17 play free every day except Saturday, providing they’re accompanied by a green fee-paying adult. And children aged 12 and under eat free at breakfast every day, and at dinner on Friday and Saturdays, just as long they’re with an adult and take their dinner between 5pm and 6pm.

There’s no doubt golf equipment throughout the whole golf bag has advanced dramatically over the past 10 years. From the ball all the way through into the driver and even down to your wedges. The wedge family has doubled over the past 15-20 years with the introduction of the gap and Lob wedges. Years ago, when I started playing golf, we had only two wedges - the pitching and the sand. It made life so much easier. Hit it high and out of the bunker with your sand wedge and hit it lower with your pitching wedge. Not only do we now need to contend with two extra wedges, with different lofts, we now also have to get our heads around different bounces and grinds. What are they, you say. Well, the bounce of the club is the angle of its base or sole and the grind is the shape of the head, which allows you to manipulate the club head into different positions to execute different shots, and to also suit your swing action. More bounce is ideal for fluffy sand and for golfers who take a larger divot than most. Less bounce is ideal for hard sand and a golfer who takes trim bacon strips for divots. Wedges are more used by weekend golfers than professionals as they hit less greens in regulation and I strongly advise you visiting your local PGA professional for a wedge fitting. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes. Good golfing.

Noosa Heads SLSC surf boat section fielded 11 crews across seven divisions at the Gold Coast over the weekend at the Queensland SLS Championships.

Ruby Anderson with her Gold medal.

Busy time for athletes It has indeed been a busy time in the world of sport for our local athletes. State Championships for our amateur boxers, exponents of the martial arts and the lifesavers who contest the surf sport events. For the members of the Sunshine Coast Martial Arts Shotokan Karate and Fitness Institute, the recent state titles held in Brisbane over two days, the overall results were indeed very good. For our Noosa team they finished with a total of 16 gold medals, 14 silver and 11 bronze: a team effort that saw them finish 2nd in the State. ‘’I am very happy with the overall results,” said Bryan Dukas Owner/Chief Instructor. As a result, two members will be going to Sydney to compete in the Australian Titles in April. When we take into consideration that some Brisbane clubs are four and five times bigger than our local club, it is indeed a great effort. At present the club team is completing preparation for the Queensland Open Titles to be held in June. This is the selection criteria for the State Team to contest the Australian National Titles in October. On 8 May, the club will host the Sunshine Coast Challenge Tournament at the Noosaville State School: this will be open to all local dojos For the lifesavers last weekend was the State Titles and Tugun Beach played host club. For the Noosa club, their boat section came home with a total of six medals:2 gold 1 silver and 3 bronze. The golds were won by the Masters 140 age group and u/19s ladies’ crew known as the kookaburras and the silver was won by the ladies’ u/23 crew (known as the Scrub Turkies).The three bronze medals were won by the 220yr age group the Condors, the u/23 ladies Spangled Drongos, and the Reserve Grade ladies crew, the Bandits. Both boat captain Andrew Fox and boat coach/sweep Dave Tomba, were happy with the results; all crews that were entered for the titles made the finals. “We were very happy with our medal count,” said Fox. “What really pleased us was the fact that all crews made the finals; then with a 1m wave running, being in the right place to pick up a wave on the way home brings luck into the equation.” Coach Tomba, “Our last major carnival will be the Aussie titles and these will be here on

Billy Mahony with his Gold medal. the Sunshine Coast in three weeks at Alexendra Headlands Beach. Alex will be one of the three beaches allocated to host the titles, with Maroochydore and Mooloolaba being the other two. Our last carnival before the titles will be at Dickey beach and this will be a good preparation for the Aussies. At present we have a very strong female

contingent: the stand out crew for the weekend was this years’ Queensland state representative crew the Kookaburras. At these state titles, they went through the heats undefeated to win the gold in the final. They had something to prove to themselves after a disappointing 4th place in the ASRL Australian Open.” In the U/17 to Opens events Noosa won a

silver in the open surf teams female and two bronze in the surf board rescue. This gave Noosa a total of 9 medals overall (the boats plus u/17 to Opens). This gave them an overall placing of 7th. For the Masters who fielded a massive team ,they finished in 3rd place overall: a really good performance. For Sunshine Beach, they had a team of 20 competing and their overall performance was for Head Coach Josh Minogue, very pleasing. “We came home with a total of 4 medals 1 gold 1 silver and 2 bronze. I was very impressed with the performance of our ski paddlers: our ski paddlers train under coach Paul Gilmour: their performance for the future is indeed very promising.’’ In the medal tally the gold was won in the 2km Beach Run, the silver medal was won by the u/17 Female Ski Relay and the two bronze medals, again u/17 female division, surf team and surf board relay. When we look at the finals of the various events, it is pleasing to note that the Sunshine team contested 13 finals and apart from two events, the remaining eleven were contested by members in the u/19s and u/17 age groups: of these, five were team events. Also, this speaks volumes for the seasons ahead and in particular the attitude towards teams. For Sunshine they were placed 14th overall on the points score. For our Cooroy Impact Boxing Academy, the Queensland Novice Titles held in Brisbane were successful. “With a team of 8 fighters competing, our local team had a total of 6 wins with 4 going on to win medals; 2 gold and 2 silver. It was a heavy program with a total of 130 fights over the duration of three days,” said Impact coach Mark Evans. “For our team the females boxed in the 60 and 70 kilo divisions and the male boxed in the 54 and 60 kilo divisions. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of all was the standard of boxing; for novice fighters the standard was indeed very high.” For the club, their next tournament will in the country town of Dysart, west of Mackay. “This will be on 17 April at the big local show. So far, we have a total of 6 fighters who are matched up and as this will be the first- ever tournament, we are going to give the local people our support.” We wish all those involved all the very best.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Easter belongs to Bells It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, standing on a clifftop, struggling to keep out the chill of a freezing Southern Ocean gale while watching surfers riding fat shoulders through the bowl way below, but Bells Beach is a holy shrine of Australian surfing, and I can never to get to Easter without thinking that somehow I should be there. If the world were normal, the Bells Beach Easter Classic would be celebrating turning 60 this weekend. I was there for quite a few of them, including the 50th celebration in 2011 and the 20th in 1981, that remarkable year when Simon Anderson redefined surfboard design with the Thruster in big, booming Bells monsters. And I was there five years earlier when my friend Jeff Hakman became the first foreign competitor to ring the bell, and the year before that, when Michael Peterson made it three in a row. But the world is not normal, and the free surfers have Bells to themselves while the first event of the World Surf League Pro Tour Australian leg is held in a quarantine bubble at Merewether, Newcastle. No offence to Merewether. It’s definitely a B-plus wave and some pretty good surfers have popped out of it – think Mark Richards, Nicky Wood, Matt Hoy, Luke Egan and Ryan Callinan – but Easter belongs to Bells, and while I know the WSL is working against tremendous odds to keep the dream alive, my dream happens on the Surf Coast of western Victoria at this time of year, and sadly it’s not. The first Bells Beach comp was the brainchild of Peter Troy, a good athlete from Torquay, the little fishing village near Bells, who had been introduced to modern surfing at the Melbourne Olympics surf carnival in 1956, when a Californian and Hawaiian lifeguard team demonstrated surfboard riding on the new balsa “Malibu chips”, which were much shorter than Australian “tooth picks”, and more maneuverable thanks to the addition of a dorsal fin. By 1958 Troy had established the Bells Board Riders club and gone into business crafting T-Boards with boatbuilder Vic Tantau. In 1961 they organized the first Bells Beach surfing event, scheduled for New Year’s Eve but postponed until Australia Day, 1962. There are many Noosa connections to this story, the first being that just a few years later Peter Troy would go halves with his dad in buying a small motel on Gympie Terrace and in 1968, he would found the Noosa Boardriders Club. The second, and lesser known, is that legendary Noosa real estate agent Warren Evans was a finalist in that first contest and also took some historic photos of it. Because the summer waves at Bells were pretty much rubbish, the event was held back to Easter the following year, and so began a tradition that is only being broken now, and hopefully only temporarily. Bells Beach hosted the 1970 world surfing championships, more famous for drug busts and bad behavior in country pubs than for the surfing, which was mainly conducted a two-hour drive away at Johanna, but the event launched Rip Curl Wetsuits. When Quiksilver splintered off from it to make board shorts a year later, the two small companies placed tiny Torquay at the forefront of the emerging global surf industry, and over the decades brought it both fame and prosperity. But Bells remained famous for great surfing and bad behaviour. Doing my usual coverage of the event for a surf magazine in the mid‘70s, I finished a close second to 1976 world champion Peter Townend in a purple flyer drinking contest, during which we both set fire to our beards. Driving home to our rented flat a few blocks away, I smashed the company car into a brick wall. I kept my job, but I had to buy my own car. The memories are mostly glorious, and if Bells comes back on the world tour, I’m definitely driving down there before I forget the way. 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 2 April, 2021

Tip time for Bowie Pollard on his way to another Queensland title. Picture: SUPPLIED Noosa all the way at the state longboards If further evidence was needed of the current strength of the Noosa Malibu Club in the longboard world, it was certainly provided at last weekend’s Queensland Longboard Titles, the final event of the Queensland Surf Festival at Coolum. Okay, technically speaking, Bowie Pollard is from the other end of the coast, but he’s a smiling fixture in Noosa where he’s picked up many titles, so let’s start by claiming his win in the Open Men’s, with Noosa’s Nic and Zac Brewer in the minors. Then we had world tour Noosa surfers Emily Lethbridge and Kirra Molnar go one and two in the Open Women, with Em’s sister Charlotte also on the podium. In the juniors, Noosa’s adopted daughters Luca Doble and Mia Waite went one and two in the girls, while the Smales brothers, Landen and Kaiden, did the same in the boys. In the seniors, evergreen Josh Constable took out the over 40 men’s, while Wally Allan and Hayden Swan went one and two in the over 50s, then reversed it in the over 55s. Peppie Simpson took out the over 60 women, while her beau Albie Curtis won the over 65 men ahead of Ian Borland. Apologies if I missed anybody out, but great team effort, Mal Club.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Huge weekend for Tigers By Julian Pitts After months of strength and conditioning, planning and recruiting, and a large focus on intra club match simulation, Round One is finally here for the Rococo Noosa Tigers. With our first game on Easter Saturday at our Weyba Road headquarters, we have the only standalone Aussie rules game in the state, it couldn’t be any bigger! Our opponents? The Brent “Beema” Moloney coached Wilston- Grange Gorillas whose young list are improving and gaining experience each season. Moloney (an ex-AFL player himself) spent three years at Noosa before relocating to Brisbane for the top coaching gig at Grange. Several ex-Tigers have been plying their trade with the Gorillas over the past few years with Oscar Stewart, Charlie Bowes (now with Lions VFL) and last year’s best and fairest Will McKenzie (also with Aspley VFL) among talented Noosa juniors who have made the trek down the highway to play QAFL recently. McKenzie of course the youngest member of the Noosa Tigers premiership team that hammered Maroochydore back in 2019. Now back onto the Noosa boys and I’m certain coach Adam Bovalino and his coaching crew will make sure their physical presence is up and about early on in front of what should be a fantastic Easter Saturday crowd. “We have to make our home ground a fortress.” said Bovalino. “We have done the work, the boys are fresh physically and just so excited about playing on this weekend and in our first QAFL game in the club’s history. We are a very hard-working club off the field and I’ll guaran-

Aaron Laskey on Noosa Main Beach. tee we will be just as hard on it” said the dual premiership captain and coach. As mentioned earlier the Tigers have gone through extensive match simulation during the pre-season and in their only hit out against last year’s QAFL premiers Morningside looked really impressive. Whilst not overly tall, the pace and clarity in which the Noosa boys can move the ball was first class. Victorian recruits Wilson and Fleming look to have slotted in easily and are well

and truly going to make an impact. To have the likes of McKendrick and Holt (both 2019 premiership players) back with their nous and hardness around the contest will be invaluable. The Bovalino coached Noosa Tigers ability to turn defence into attack has been awesome the past two years. Buntain and Laskey are two of the best attacking defenders in the state whilst vice-captain McCrimmon continues to play his stopping but attacking role deep in

defence. Young Angus Smyth (dual premiership player) continues to impress back there whilst Riley Odwyer (2020 premiership player) has a booming right boot that automatically puts the team from defence into attack. Fellow senior premiership player Maccy Johnson just keeps getting better and better in any of the roles he is asked to do. Around the contest Brett Meredith is just a star and oozes class. Tyler Stack continues to rack up possessions and is a model of consistency, whilst our midfield jewel Jai Fitzpatrick loves the big occasion and will relish in the big crowd this Saturday. Premiership stars Seb Rogers and Jack Harper will be lively up forward and continue to provide a target with the skill and craftsmanship of Mav Pettigrove on show once again to the Tigers faithful. Can’t wait! Free entry of course with food and beverages available at great prices, plus we unveil the brand-new Heads of Noosa Beer Lawn where patrons can get themselves some ice-cold Japanese Lager straight from the tap. How good is that! It’s a massive day of footy at Rococo Oval with Colts at 10:00 am followed by “Oggy’s” twos, with the main game starting at 2:00 pm. For all other information regarding the game please just google “Noosa Tigers” and get onto our social media platforms (Facebook). There’s even a pre-game press conference with the opposing coaches! History in the making at Weyba Road this Saturday. From all at the Tigers have a safe and happy Easter and we’ll see you at the footy. Go Tigers Cheers, Pittsy

REMARKABLE REAL ESTATE PRICE RISES PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THE latest quarterly data for Queensland property prices has confirmed what buyers and sellers already know — prices are rising across the State. Figures released by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) through its latest issue of the Queensland Market Monitor show prices increased by 6.1 per cent over the September-December quarter across almost every region of Queensland. The Sunshine Coast remains the shining star of the Queensland property market, REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said. “Not only has the Sunshine Coast achieved strong property price growth for houses at 7.7 per cent over the year but the unit market is also firing albeit slightly stronger at 8.0 per cent.” With the Sunshine Coast firmly positioned at the top of the property ladder, it’s no surprise to learn that Noosa retained its title for the most expensive housing Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A five-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 0.8ha with shed at 219 Sunrise Rd, Eumundi, is set for auction at midday on Saturday, April 9. 232468 market in Queensland, achieving 15.4 per cent growth to achieve a recording-breaking median house price of $900,000. Meanwhile units increased by 14.3 per cent to achieve a record-breaking median unit price of $710,000. “As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen Queensland’s property market perform in ways that go against every economic prediction made over the last 12 months,” Ms Mercorella said. “In fact, Queensland property has remained extremely stable, recording a steady rate of growth that’s really strengthen its market appeal. “Between record-low interest rates, low stock availability for sale, improvements in consumer sentiment and Queensland’s unbeatable lifestyle, it’s no surprise we’ve also seen broader increases in values month on month in 2021.” With the highest level of sales across the quarter recorded in Brisbane (13,085), Gold Coast (7,617) and Moreton Bay (6,565), the state capital also reached a new record median house price of $725,000 (5.8 per cent annual growth) for 2020. The result is also an increase in the median price across Greater Brisbane’s most affordable regions, with houses now

valued at a median of $544,900 while the median unit price is $391,800 (the highest on record for both categories). “While Brisbane continues to strengthen, it’s equally pleasing to see Queensland’s regional markets outperforming our capital city with wide spread property demand and price increases recorded across most areas,” Ms Mercorella said. “What’s helping propel property prices in particular is the fact that interstate migration is so strong,” adds Ms Mercorella. “In fact, the Sunshine Coast, along with the Gold Coast, have been top destinations for internal migration for years now. “And with minimal international migration at present, that internal movement is really benefitting our markets relative to other parts of the country.” Further analysis of the data also shows the fast-tracked regional property rush sweeping across Queensland is evident. The figures reveal that out of 56 regional Local Government Areas (LGAs), 52 show positive annual growth, representing 93 per cent of the State’s regional market. These locations are benefiting from the exodus to more affordable lifestyles. Gladstone was the largest best-

performing regional LGA with a median house price of $300,000 thanks to a strong finish of 9.1 per cent growth for the year. This represents a total gain of 83.8 per cent in reclaimed value from Gladstone’ median house price five years ago of $365,000. The Gold Coast was placed third with the most expensive median house price ($658,250) behind Noosa and Brisbane. Toowoomba also ranked third place for strongest unit growth behind Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, achieving 9.6 per cent annual growth to reach $299,000, with East Toowoomba recording the highest annual unit growth for 2020 - 79.1 per cent. “With positive economic results ushering in a New Year, Queensland is shaping up to be a strong bet for investors, with properties from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast selling fast and on a solid foundation for capital growth in 2021,” Ms Mercorella said. “When you consider Queensland’s unique attributes and market characteristics combined with historicallylow interest rates, surging consumer confidence, and billions of dollars in infrastructure investment, and the scene is set for some of the strongest property growth we’ve seen in a very long time.”

IN DEMAND Holiday guests were booked into the fullyfurnished, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 10 The Colonial Resort, 239245 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, until Tuesday. So Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville of Noosa Estate Agents couldn’t hold the first open home until Wednesday. This was despite having listed it on the previous Thursday. They had multiple offers the afternoon of the open home and the property was sold that night. There were two written sight-unseen offers from Sydney and Melbourne but it was local buyers who snapped it up as an investment. The Colonial Resort has good occupancy rates and low body corporate fees, Scott said. ’’There are now seven genuine buyers ready and waiting for the next one.’’ Overlooking the resort pool, the apartment has a fully covered deck and is big enough to live in. Scott and Kelsie now have a twobedroom, two-bathroom riverfront penthouse apartment 7/1 Howard St, Noosaville, on the market. Facing north in a prized corner position, it offers spectacular views of the Noosa River and out to Laguna Bay. There are eight apartments in the complex and low body corporate fees, Scott said. “The apartment was renovated six or seven years ago, “It has a big, open living space, travertine tiles, is well presented and fully furnished. “The roof terrace is as good as it gets. Part covered, it’s like a second living room but on the roof and some of the best views in Noosa. “There have been good inquiries and 15 groups through at the open house on Saturday … a number of Brisbane people, some from Melbourne, Sydney and a few locals. “A real mix of people looking for somewhere to downsize and live, and investors.’’ PERFECT DOWNSIZER It’s low maintenance, on one level and walking distance to the river. A three-bedroom, two-bathroom house

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with study, two-car garaging at 20 Marlin Dve, Noosaville, is set for auction on Saturday, April 3, at 11am. 232468 with study, two-car garaging at 20 Marlin Dve, Noosaville, is set for auction on Saturday, April 3, at 11am. Marketing agent Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate describes the house as “the perfect downsizer’’ but would also make an ideal investment or family home. An open-plan kitchen and lounge/dining leads to a north-facing terrace. There is air-conditioning, timber-look flooring in the living and carpet in the bedrooms. “We have had an excellent response,’’ Melanie said. “The proximity to the Noosa River, yacht club, restaurants and Gympie Tce precinct has drawn buyers from interstate, Brisbane and our locals are also showing strong interest. “Close to schools library, sporting facilities it has strong appeal to a wide range of buyers. “A freshen up will value-add. “Many absentee investors are positioning themselves now with a view of relocating in the future. ’’ HOME ON THE RANGE Right in the heart of the golden triangle in Noosa’s hinterland is a very peaceful acreage property.

Tucked away from view up a long leafy driveway is the stunning near-new, fivebedroom home with space for all the family. On 0.8ha with shed and high side annex, the house at 219 Sunrise Rd, Eumundi, is set for auction at midday on Saturday, April 9. Featuring high ceilings, ducted airconditioning, open-plan living plus a media lounge room, the house is attracting plenty of interest, according to Jeanette Catalano and Sheridan Hodgetts of Hinternoosa. Buyers are locals or from the major capital cities and are taken by the position on Eumundi Range as well as the privacy. The 9m by 13m shed is insulated and has a drive-through facility. Two solar systems have been installed and there is 3-phase power. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool and shed on 1.61ha at 39 Racehorse Lane, Lake Macdonald, is getting huge interest, Jeanette said. The property goes to auction at 2pm on the same day, April 9. “We are getting so much interest, even for the mid-week opens. “People love the peace and privacy, the big house, pool and that shed.

PROPERTY NEWS

WISE WORDS FROM THE BLOCK WHILE the weather was not favourable, the sentiment from those who attended the first Noosa Hinterland Property Expo certainly was. So much so that the founder of the event Sirah Robb has decided to make it an annual event. The Block co-host Shelley Craft was among the line up of guest speakers and celebrity appearances. “We always felt this event would be popular and we were really pleased the overwhelming response from attendees, sponsors and exhibitors on the weekend was very positive,’’ Sirah said. “Attendees came from across the Coast and Brisbane, demonstrating the strong interest people have in our Noosa Hinterland region, our sustainable lifestyle and acreage living in general. “The thirst for related information, resources and advice from experts was clear and many expressed that having everyone under the one roof was convenient and a fun day out. Shelley Craft said the property expo was a great idea and she could see it going from strength to strength each year. She spoke very highly of the region and mentioned being “a Brissy girl’’ who would come to Noosa for holidays. Shelley did a school horse riding camp in Cooroibah, has brought her family to the Noosa hinterland for holidays a number of times, and her father is even looking at moving to somewhere in the area. Her Q&A style talk with the audience covered many aspects of home renovating, interior design, and all things property. This included The Block and projects she has been involved in, both on and off the TV. Some of the many tips covered included working with a home’s character when renovating instead of trying to force it to be something it’s not. It was important to add a 30 per cent contingency to any renovation budget and remember to budget for landscaping. Other tips included complementing the style and character of a home when decorating rather than following trends, keeping a neutral palette and adding colour with furnishings, and styling for buyers versus yourself when preparing for sale. And Shelley settled a debate in many homes … cushions or no cushions. She believes we have moved on from loads of cushions and can be minimalistic with cushion use now. The expo-style showcase included more than 20 local businesses including everything from sustainable housing to soft furnishings. As well as founder of the expo, Sirah Robb is principal of Wythes Real Estate who were the primary event sponsor. “As the first expo, there were many successes and we have also been able to identify opportunities to make a second event even bigger and bette,’’ Sirah said. “So, we are now planning for a 2022 event and are looking at hosting it in the middle of the year when it is a bit 48 NOOSA TODAY

At each session throughout the day there was a progressive charity auction of 14 items which was not only a lot of fun with antics onstage from Shelley Craft and MC Richard Hansen but also raised $3130 for Drought Angels.

NOOSA TODAY 49

HOME FOCUS

RICH HISTORY TO RIVERSIDE BLOCK IN 1984, just months after Barbara Hunter had built her holiday home at 51 Weyba Esplanade, Noosa Heads, the adjoining lot at number 49 came on the market. Family members pooled their resources and purchased it without any particular plan for it, confident that an eventual plan would emerge. In the following decades, Barbara’s children had their own children, and the vacant lot was mainly used for overflow parking as families descended on the house for family gatherings and holidays, often with boats in tow, kayaks, surfboards and fishing gear. In the late 1980s, the lot hosted a luncheon for a rather exclusive gathering - the surviving Australian members of the Royal Air Force Escaping Society - of which Barbara’s late husband Bob had been a member. Membership of the Society, which ran from 1945-1995, was open to the 2,803 aircrew who failed to return from missions and either evaded capture or, more rarely, escaped from captivity. The

Society’s principal role was to operate a Charitable Fund to benefit their ’Helpers’ - citizens in the then-occupied France and other countries who had taken substantial personal risks to assist the airmen to evade capture and with whom lifelong friendships were forged. The fund was wound up in 1999, but the RAAFS Museum survives in Lincolnshire. Later, it was again the venue for a grand event - the wedding of Bob and Barbara’s granddaughter Maria to her husband Michael. The ceremony was across the road at the waterside and naturally the

party did not need to travel far for stunning backgrounds for their photos. The sun set soon after the top of the tide and the humpback bridge featured prominently. The block was decorated with a chandelier and bunting in the t-trees and a bar crafted from wine barrels. Through the afternoon, the Offenbach Strings played through on the veranda and a gypsy jazz band set up downstairs and played into the night. Barbara passed away some years ago,

just before her first great-grandchild was born. That eventual plan for the lot is now probably as diverse as the visions of her children, grandchildren and their families, who are far flung and making their ways in the world. The only structures to have stood on number 49 to date have been marquees. Someone will soon have the opportunity to change that. ●
