Enduring emotion

It was a day of emotion and inspiration as Kelsey Irvine rode across the finish line in the 100km endurance event in the Mary Valley on Easter Sunday.

Kelsey, a horse trainer at Canoona, north of Rockhampton, was riding Karma, the last mare bred by her late grandfather Alwyn Torenbeek.

Torenbeek grew up watching rodeos in Mount Morgan and Rockhampton, and became a bush legend as drover, horse whisperer, endurance rider, bronc rider and author.

Kelsey was riding Karma on Sunday at Stirlings Crossing Equestrian Centre for the 100km event, her 12-year-old mare that was bred by the family.

This was after finishing fourth across the line and first in the middleweight division in Saturday’s 80km event on Toy Boi SD, a six-year-old gelding she bred herself.

“It was a trying course due to the hills and slippery conditions on Sunday,’’ Kelsey said, at a stop on the drive back to Rockhampton on Monday.

Heart starters

By Phil Jarratt The Friday before Easter started out much like any other day for Noosa surfing retiree Bill McLelland, 67.

But by the end of it he would have died, been revived, been airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital and fitted out with a lifesaving internal defibrillator.

The lifelong surfer, originally from Merewether Beach in Newcastle, funded a

dream Noosa retirement by building up the Hunter region’s biggest and most successful milk run over 30 years, but it very nearly turned into a nightmare for partner Shari. “I cut it pretty bloody fine,” Bill said over a coffee this week.

“Without the defib station at the beach I wouldn’t be here.” Bill could so easily have joined the 30,000 Australians who lose their lives each year through preventable deaths from cardiac arrest. So could veteran knee-

boarder Gavin Garps, also 67, who blacked out at First Point in January and was revived by CPR administered by an off-duty policeman, and lifeguard Jack Fray who raced from the tower with a defibrillator.

“Our stories are eerily similar,” Gavin told Noosa Today this week. “We’re both surfers of a certain age who wouldn’t have gotten any older if it wasn’t for a defibrillator on the beach.”

Gavin ended up with a double bypass but is slowly recovering at home and expects to

be back in the surf soon. Bill had already had a double bypass four years ago and passed his most recent battery of tests with his cardiologist with flying colours.

So on the morning he decided to give the points a miss and paddle out at the beach breaks of Noosa West on his soft-top, he wasn’t expecting anything more than a pleasant session in the friendly little waves on offer.

The Virtual Everest trek 2021 involves a 42-climb challenge of Mt Coolum over five days starting 26 July, accumulating 8848 metres — the height of Mt Everest and is being run to raise money for Parkinsons’s Disease research.

But could also be completed on any mountain or hill.

The challenge that aims to raise money for Shake It Up Australia and Parkinson’s Disease research could be completed on any hill or mountain, solo or in groups and over a week or three months.

“You can do it locally by trekking your favourite hill, or stairs, it’s up to you, form a team and share the load,” said organiser Gary McKitterick Gillett from Trek Ready Himalayas.

Gary, 60, works at Nambour General Hospital’s Acute Restorative Care (ARC)

ward with Parkinson’s and Dementia patients.

This year’s Virtual Everest Trek takes place on Mount Coolum, from July 26 to 30 and people are welcome to join the team or set their own schedule and location.

“Anyone can get a team together or incorporate the activity into their current fitness regime,” Gary said.

The concept is simple, you just must accumulate 8848 metres over a week, a month, or three months.

Shake It Up Australia fund Australian research into finding better treatments for Parkinson’s Disease.

Easter has come and gone. Many of us were so excited last week when the Premier announced the lockdown was ended and Noosa was open for business for Easter.

Mother Nature decided, like she often does at Easter, that it would be a wet weekend. Although it’s autumn I always regard the Easter holidays as the last grab of summer and I don’t think I’m alone in this.

Despite the rain Noosa was a full house and plenty of people looked like they were making the most of the situation. Rain or shine people flocked to the beaches, headed to the river, dived into the restaurants and shops.

And surfers were out in force at First Point and National Park.

The wild weather brought to the fore the vital role of our lifesavers and lifesaving equipment.

The importance of our lifesaving heroes and equipment couldn’t be more obvious than in the reading this week about the revival of two surfers who would no longer be with us without defibrillators and people with the skill to use them.

While many people enjoyed the beach, Noosa is not just a beach community and we can thank the endurance horse riders who competed across Easter who reminded us that the country is equally vital to our Shire.

Jazz Party now homeless The Noosa Jazz Party is one of Noosa’s most enduring events. It’s had to be, battling council permit issues and falling sponsorship over its more than 30 years, and more recently last year’s Covid restrictions.

But the little festival that could is now facing what might be its biggest challenge, following the loss of its main venue, the Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club. The unexpected decision by a new management team at the club has left the popular September event homeless.

Jazz Party co-founder Richard Stevens told Noosa Today that following last year’s roaring success, despite Covid, plus many other Noosa Jazz Club events during the year, he was extremely disappointed to lose what seemed like the perfect venue. “Of course, the Jazz Party has been in this position before and we’ve always found a solution, but this time around it seems particularly hard to find an alternative home,” he said.

The sousaphone-playing 76-year-old started the jazz festival in 1991 with wife Patsy and the late and esteemed Melbourne and Noosa jazz legend Frank Johnson. “We had a dozen lo-

cal musos and marched down Hastings Street playing music without a permit like we were in New Orleans,” said Richard. “Everybody loved the fun, the relaxed atmosphere and the great music, and it just grew from there.” By the mid-1990s they were signing world class players like Australians Graeme Bell, Bob Barnard and John Sangster and internationals like New York trumpet wiz Jon-Erik Kellso, while leading Australian artist Robert Dickerson was creating brilliant charcoal art for the program cover.

Until the pandemic hit, Jazz Party 2020 was set to be the biggest in years, with Jon-Erik Kellso making a welcome return from New York as headliner, and a huge cast of musos from all over Australia and New Zealand in support. Airline tickets had been booked and paid for when Richard and Patsy got the news that events were off and financial support no longer forthcoming. But thanks to the boundless energy and spirit of the Stevens duo, and the patronage of the bowls club, the Jazz Party miraculously pulled off a winner.

Now they’re looking for another miracle, and another venue. If you can help, please contact Richard Stevens on 5447 2229.

Community House build begins at Peregian Beach Civil works have begun on the $3 million Rufous St Community House at Peregian Beach.

Contractors Kane Constructions have earmarked a completion date of late this year for the multi-use facility. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the project would be a valuable addition to the Peregian Beach community and was part of over a $10 million investment into the Rufous Street precinct.

“It will be a facility that many different groups across the shire will enjoy and also help foster connections within the community,” she said.

Cr Stewart and Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien inspected the progress of civil works on Wednesday. Mr O’Brien said the Coalition

Government committed $2,073,100 towards Stage 3 of the Rufous Street Masterplan in the 2020-21 Budget.

“The Rufous Street Community House is a landmark project that will provide worldclass facilities to meet the needs of its growing community,” Mr O’Brien said.

“This vibrant space will build on Noosa’s reputation as a centre for innovation, creativity and technology, attracting new businesses and diversifying the local economy.

“It will also have an immediate benefit to employment, by creating approximately 300 new jobs throughout construction, with the majority of those workers expected to be local residents.”

Kane Constructions regional manager Mark Grimsey said the company enjoyed delivering quality buildings that had such a strong connection to the community.

The new community house design has been developed in conjunction with Bark Design Architects, the Peregian Beach Community House Association and other stakeholders.

Association president John Hare said the facility that they hoped would become a focal point for the community would provide greater flexibility in meeting the demand for hiring space.

Rufous Street Stage three comprises a Community House with an increased num-

TEAK SLAT BUFFETS NATURAL OR WHITE

ber of hire / meeting rooms complemented by a greenspace of 4000m2 of sculptured gardens, a play area, winding footpaths and grassed areas.

Cr Stewart said once the Community House was completed, work would then start on the expansion of the Peregian Digital Hub into the existing Community House facility.

“The Digital Hub growth has been fantastic and this expansion and further activation of the site provides more opportunities to foster the digital economy in Noosa,” she said.

“It’s so exciting for our shire and another clear example of what we can achieved in collaboration with the community and the Australian Government,” Cr Stewart said.

Car crashes into tree in Tewantin

Teewah patrols

A woman was taken to Nambour Hospital in a stable condition following a car crash into a tree on Beckmans Road and Saint Andrews Drive in Tewantin at 7.26pm on Friday 2 April.

Woman charged with murder in Buderim

By Abbey Cannan Happy campers were joined by police as they flocked to Teewah Beach over the Easter long weekend.

Officers from the Road Policing Unit and Tactical Crime Squad kept a close eye on drivers, with a joint operation between Queensland Police and National Parks ensuring all visitors had the required permits and followed the road rules.

The ongoing efforts from police will continue as the last year has seen a number of serious crashes at Teewah, with most caused by dangerous driving behaviours.

The operation at Teewah saw 560 random breath tests conducted over the Easter weekend, as well as 65 random drug tests.

Noosa Heads Police Officer in Charge Ben Carroll said out of the 560 random breath tests, just one person was caught drink driving.

“Police issued 98 traffic notice infringements over the long weekend,“ Snr Sgt Carroll said.

“These ranged from speeding on the beach, failure to wear helmet, unregistered vehicle, failure to wear seatbelt, and failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle.“ Five people tested positive out of the 65 random drug tests, while eight arrests and notices to appear were issued.

Police have charged a 29-year-old woman with murder following extensive investigations into a traffic crash in Buderim last year.

A 62-year-old Tewantin man was struck by a vehicle while he was in the company of a 29-year-old woman on Stringybark Road around 2am on Saturday, May 16.

The man died shortly after arriving at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

Following forensic investigations, police have charged the 29-year-old woman with one count of murder.

It will be alleged the woman stabbed the man before he was struck by the vehicle.

The driver of the vehicle was not connected with the initial incident.

The woman appeared in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on March 31 where she was remanded in custody to reappear in the same court on May 21.

Armed robbery charge in Coolum Beach Sunshine Coast detectives have charged a teenager following the alleged armed robbery of a Coolum bottle shop on Monday, March 29.

Just before 7pm police will allege the 16-year-old boy entered the Beach Road business demanding cash and alcohol.

It will be further alleged he threatened the shop attendant with a knife, before taking a four pack of mixed spirits and two bottles of spirits.

The 32-year-old male attendant was not injured.

Yesterday police attended a Peregian Springs address where it will also be alleged clothing worn by the youth at the time of the offence was located along with a cannabis plant and two knives.

A 16-year-old boy from Peregian Beach has been charged with armed robbery, weapons offences, production of dangerous drugs and enter premise.

He is due to appear in the Maroochydore Children’s Court this month.

Fatal crash suspected to be deliberate act The Sunshine Coast Forensic Crash Unit, along with local detectives are continuing investigations into a single vehicle crash at Pacific Paradise on Sunday 4 in which two people died.

Detectives are investigating whether this was a deliberate act by the driver with police appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash to contact them.

Police would also like to speak to anyone who saw the vehicle - a 2016 white Nissan Qashqai SUV - driving in the area prior to the crash, as well as any motorists with relevant dashcam footage of the vehicle.

The two occupants of the vehicle, the 68-year-old female passenger and 69-yearold male driver were entrapped for a period of time before being extricated and transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, where they passed away.

The woman and man, both from the Sunshine Coast, were known to each.

Men arrested after Noosa IGA break-in Noosa Heads Detectives have arrested two Twin Waters men following a ram raid offence at the Noosa Outlook IGA Supermarket.

At 3.56am on Tuesday 2 March police will allege a white VW hatchback entered the carpark of the shopping complex on St Andrews Dr Tewantin.

The car pulled up and two men got out, before the hatchback then reversed and rammed through the front glass automatic doors of the IGA store.

A further two men got out of the car and

all four entered the store where they allegedly jemmied opened the two top drawers of the cigarette cabinet and loaded packets of cigarettes into shopping bags.

A large quantity of cigarettes were stolen in addition to the substantial damage caused to the automatic doors.

A seventeen year old man has been charged with a number of offences including Break and Enter with Intent, Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle and drug offences.

He was bailed with strict curfew conditions and is due to appear in the Maroochydore

Children’s Court on 7 April.

An eighteen year old male has been charged with a number of offences including Break and Enter with Intent and Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle. He too was bailed with strict curfew and reporting conditions and is due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 17 May.

Noosa’s check mate

By Margaret Maccoll The best chess players in the Pacific will descend on Noosa later this year to compete in the Oceania Chess senior championship.

Noosa Chess Club were thrilled to be told last Saturday that their bid to host the international tournament had been successful.

Club president Peter Cam said the competition would bring to Noosa the best chess players from across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific for the International Chess Federation (FIDE) event.

“It comprises some very strong players,“ he said.

With a long held love of the game Peter decided on his return to Noosa after years living overseas to establish the Noosa Chess Club in 2015.

“I incorporated the club and it’s slowly progressed from there,“ he said.The club began with a few retired guys having a few games and has developed to attract three demographics seniors, youth and the disabled.

Peter’s weekly chess playing ranges from coaching in schools to competing against housebound seniors.

The club holds games at Peregian Village on Saturday mornings and Cooroora Woodworkers Club, Cooroy and all players are welcome to join in.

Noosa Chess Club secretary Ralph Jackson and president Peter Cam at Peregian Village on Saturday.

“I’ve always loved the game,“ he said.

“I was a reasonable player at school.”

Peter realised the world stage of competitive chess was on a different level from school competitions so her studies the game overseas

for a number of years including in Norway where he lived for a time and where the current world champion Magnus Carlsen resides.

Peter said the Oceania Chess senior championship would bring to Noosa players from

Picture: ROB MACCOLL member countries including Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Guam, PNG, Solomon Islands, Palau and Nauru. The championship will be held in November at the Tewantin Noosa RSL club.

A tale of two lucky surfers From page 1 Bill, a veteran waterman who divides his time between a stand up paddle board and a shortboard, caught a wave to the beach, paddled back out and started a conversation with a fellow surfer while they waited for the next set. For Bill, that next set never came.

Without warning he toppled off his board and started to turn blue. He says: “According to my surfing mate, he dragged me about 20 metres to shore and lifeguard Josh Jones saw what was happening from the west tower and raced down the beach with the defib. He gave me four bursts and nothing happened. If they don’t get anything on the fifth it’s all over, red rover, but there was a faint pulse and they got me going from there.”

Bill woke up in a helicopter on his way to SCU Hospital, wondering what the hell had happened. A few days later he was home with his new best friend, an internal defibrillator implanted in his chest which can correct irregular heart rhythms. He expects to be back in the water in about a month.

Two active local seniors who owe their lives to the fast and expert reactions of lifeguard first responders and to the proximity of defibrillator stations. The endings might not have been so happy had these surfers been enjoying their passion for riding waves at the rivermouth or on the point breaks of the outer bays.

Heart experts say that every minute of

time lapse between cardiac arrest and defibrillation takes about 12 percent off your chances of survival, so three minutes is considered to be as far as you would want to stretch it. It takes around seven minutes by water for lifeguards to reach Granite Bay. Without defibrillation the cardiac arrest survival rate outside of hospitals is less than 10 percent, and around one percent in water.

This is why the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, in partnership with Queensland Parks and Wildlife and BCR Medical, national distributors of the Lifepak CR2 defibrillator kits, last week installed the first of a projected five defibrillators outside the Noosa Parks Association information centre and kiosk adjacent to the National Park surf break. The NWSR is negotiating with Parks and Wildlife about the placement of a defib between Tea Tree and Granite Bays to bring both within that crucial three-minute time frame, and with Noosa Council about placements at Noosa Woods behind West Beach.

Said NWSR stewardship council’s Di Cuddihy: “Of course these stations are not just for surfers. There are so many different kinds of park users out on the headland and at The Woods, and all stand to benefit.”

The first station in the National Park was donated by BCR Medical, through its local agent and surfer Brett Roche. Mr Roche said: “We’re delighted to work alongside the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, as we do with our many corporate clients around the country,

BCR Medical’s Brett Roche helps ranger in charge Aaron Jensen and assistant Eugene Craddock install the defibrillator at the National Park.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL to help reduce the number of preventable deaths from cardiac arrest. And, of course, as a surfer I’m stoked to be making our sport safer for everyone.”

The NWSR is looking for funding assistance to complete its defibrillator program,

Test of true endurance From page 1 “You need to take care of the horse.

“Too fast and there is a risk of slipping and muscle damage.

“By being consistent you get further.’’

Kelsey, who lived outside of Kin Kin from 2016-19, has worked at equine sportsmassage but is now focussed on training her horses.

Being first across the line and winner of her middleweight division in Sunday’s 100km elevator event brought a sense of achievement as she has been working together with Karma to train to a higher level ... a stepping stone to other events throughout the year.

It was a sense of Karma by name and karma by nature as she admitted her grandfather would be pretty stoked to see them performing so well as a team.

“There was a period when I went travelling for a year or two.

“He didn’t say anything as he realised it was something I was wanting to do. But he was very happy when I returned.

“Pop was always happy to support me ... the thing I miss the most is him not seeing me at the rides.

“He was an amazing personality. A welcoming person. A great Australian horseman.

“He is always riding with me.

“Karma is the last horse he bred.

“He bred about 25 foals while I was growing up but he hadn’t seen Karma performing.

“He used to ride her mother, Julieanne.

“This is the best horse he has bred.’’

Kelsey said the priority now was ticking the

boxes to bring Karma up to condition for other endurance events.

Alwyn Torenbeek competed in the annual Tom Quilty Gold Cup Endurance Ride in the event’s second year in 1967. This was after encouragement from organiser R.M. Williams.

Aside from a 20-year break while he was working as a drover, Torenbeek continued to be involved in the event until his death in 2015.

Our homegrown Olympian Mapleton-based Olympic archer Ryan Tyack is on track to clinch another spot on the world podium with the countdown to the Tokyo Olympics in July well underway.

The 2016 Rio Olympics Bronze medallist has secured a spot on the Australian archery team and has been training up to 45 hours a week, firing off an impressive 250-300 shots a day with Sunshine Coast Archery Club, located at Ballinger Park Sports Complex.

Tyack first discovered archery at age 10, when his mother insisted he get off video games and try his hand at a sport.

“I wanted to do archery or fencing because of the video game I played, so I nagged her, she rang the club and they had an open day that same day,” Tyack recalled.

“I was terrible but I loved it. The first coach I had told my mum not to bother bringing me back, I’ll never be good and to just give up.

“She didn’t tell me that, but after five years I was able to win a Youth World Championship and I achieved that from doing it again and again and again and working hard at it.”

While he lived and trained at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra for four years, Tyack, 29, said he really enjoyed the facilities at Ballinger Park Sports Complex.

“It doesn’t have the flashiest technology but it has a lot of things other clubs don’t,” he said.

“The basis of our venue has been the same since 1997, back then we were the only club in the country that had a shaded area to shoot under. That made a huge difference in the summer.

“We also have an indoor facility, when it was built we were the only one in Queensland to have one.

“Providing archers what they need is important and that’s what Ballinger Park allows.

It’s also really peaceful and serene here with the trees and the birds in the background.”

The 2016 Rio Olympics Bronze medallist has secured a spot on the Australian archery team.

Mapleton-based Olympic archer Ryan Tyack.

“It’s been a really unique lead-up to the Tokyo Olympics but we’ve all had a chance to train longer together which is great,” he said.

With the COVID-19 pandemic interrupting athletes’ training preparations, Tyack has not been left unscathed.

“We were meant to go to Thailand in March, Guatemala in April and China in May but those plans were scrapped.”

Sunshine Coast Council Economy Portfolio Councillor Jason O’Pray said it was terrific to see a local club using local facilities and produce an Olympian.

“We are so proud of Ryan’s achievements and will be cheering him on loudly like the rest of the country come July,” Cr O’Pray said.

“We have many sport complexes and community facilities that sporting clubs and community organisations across the Sunshine Coast utilise to their full potential, which is great to see.”

In the meantime, training itself is almost a full-time job for Tyack.

“You do sacrifice a lot of time, my main day job was doing public speaking in schools but that slowed down slightly with Covid. Any support would be very welcome,” he said

One for the Trail

By Phil Jarratt A few months back in Noosa Today we brought you the story of Brian Taylor, the veteran bushman now living in Noosa Shire who worked alongside the legendary RM Williams to establish the Bicentennial Trail in 1988.

Since then the Trail has inspired a small band of rugged adventurers to emulate the feat of diminutive Dan Seymour, who first rode the 5,330 kilometre route alone in 1972 to prove it could be done. A total of 55 people have ridden it end to end since, some remarkable people among them, but none quite like Alienor le Gouvello, one of only two women to complete the Trail alone, and the only person to do it with the same horses from start to finish.

The young Frenchwoman set out from Healesville, outside Melbourne, in November 2015 with a team of three brumbies, and arrived at her destination, Cooktown, in July 2017, after 441 days in the saddle. Along the way, she achieved her goal of drawing attention to the plight of Australian wild horses, or brumbies, kept going despite being stricken by a crippling bout of Ross River Fever, and finally found new love in an Aussie bushman who shared her love of the horses and the wild places.

Now she has published a fascinating account of her grand adventure – not the first in an extremely adventurous life – in a book called Wild At Heart. While some of the power of the prose may have been lost in the translation from the original French, what remains is a heartfelt and page-turning saga of a woman whose courage knows no bounds, and whose love of her animals shines throughout.

As she approaches Cooktown, in agony because of the open sores from her fever, Alienor writes: “At the end of the road is the sea. I’m dreaming of a camp on the beach.” I knew exactly how she felt, because I too had ridden long stretches of the Trail with Brian Tay-

Ali nor guides her team of brumbies along the Trail. lor more than 30 years ago. But there was one significant difference. When I lay sprawled on my swag behind the Lion’s Den pub and hoped it would soon be over, I was just starting out.

She had ridden the length of Australia, along the most difficult parts of the Great Dividing Range.

Alienor continues: “I’ve reached this extremity of the world, where the earth touches the sea. I’m so grateful to Australia for being the country that has given me the strength and energy to bring this adventure to its fruition … I haven’t conquered the immensity of the bush, but it lives within me now.”

She also reveals a very human side, describing nights in one-room pubs downing ales with drovers and horsemen, and becoming

annoyed with people who invade her solitude.

But she is never annoyed with her brumbies, and her relationship with them is quite touching.

Before setting out on the National Trail, Alienor had ridden horses across Mongolia and worked in remote outback Aboriginal communities. Before she’d even arrived in Cooktown she’d accepted an offer to ride across the Gobi Desert in an endurance race.

The girl is tough.

But unless you’ve been out there on the Trail’s most rugged stretches and spent weeks in the saddle sleeping rough by the campfire, you can’t begin to imagine how tough you need to be. My own experiences of it gave me a clear insight into this woman’s achievement, and

Book cover.

Picture: SUPPLIED

I’m in awe of it. However, in this book Alienor doesn’t dwell on her own achievement. Instead she dwells on that of those wonderful wild creatures who carried her to the finish line.

I’ll be discussing all of this and more with Alienor le Gouvello at a Wine, Cheese and Author Talk outside Annie’s Books at Peregian Beach from 6pm next Tuesday (April 13). Alienor will also be showing some stills and video of her trek. This is going to be a great evening, courtesy of the inimitable Annie Grossman. It’s free and booking not required, but bring your own folding chair.

Wild At Heart is published by Affirm Press ($35) and the author will sign copies on the night.

Builders rise to challenge

By Erle Levey The building industry was challenged in 2020 in a way it has never been before.

Just as society faced up to the Covid-19 pandemic Master Builders members excelled in the face of adversity.

Throughout the Covid-19 shutdowns and restrictions of 2020 and now again in 2021 the building and construction industry kept on working, meeting social distancing and hygiene requirements to ensure that projects were delivered on time and essential maintenance services were available to the community.

Master Builders Sunshine Coast regional manager Nicola Scott has commended mem-

bers in the way they faced up to adversity during the past 12 months and the way they are continuing to do so.

The spirit of determination and the exceptional quality of workmanship our Master Builders are renowned for has provided the inspiration for our 2021 Housing and Construction Awards program theme - Built To Rise Above.

With awards being made in more then 50 categories across both residential and commercial sectors, we encourage everyone to enter.

“Whether an apprentice, trade contracts, small family business or one of the big names in our industry.

“This is the chance for our members to put

the spotlight on their hard work and see it celebrated.

These awards celebrate and recognise the work of the entire spectrum of the industry with awards for Women in Building, as well as energy efficiency, kitchens, bathrooms, swimming pools and a myriad of categories renovations, new homes and commercial categories of all values.

Last year the Sunshine Coast-Gympie area took out the National House of the Year (Hutchinson Builders) and Specialist Trade Contractor award (C2 Projects) for a building at Sunshine Beach.

National Contract Home $500,000-$750,000 went to Platinum Residential Designer Homes for a Pelican Waters project.

“After judging the awards on-line during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic last year, our judges are excited to have the opportunity to view all of this year’s fantastic projects in person,’’ Ms Scott said.

“The industry remained open during Covid and has been busy with strong demand, so we’re anticipating good participation and some interesting projects.

“We’ve already received some really exciting and unique entries, and the competition is, as always, shaping up to be fierce.’’

Entries are now open and to find out more head to www.mbqld.com.au/hcawards.

Harmony’s proof

By Arthur Gorrie Regional Queenslander Harmony Douwes has proved that country girls can do anything, as she helps lead the world’s fight against Covid-19.

Harmony has helped develop the technology behind a new quick home Covid test, now the subject of a $300 million deal with the United States Defence Department.

She works for the Brisbane-based biotech firm Ellume, which has been engaged to ramp up manufacture of the company’s new homebased rapid testing equipment for use in what the United States government regards as an issue of national security.

She graduated from Gympie State High in 2012 with the highest possible pass, an OP1, which also helped earn her a scholarship to the University of Queensland. She topped all

her subjects, particularly science and maths, which led to her science degree, majoring in zoology, with a minor in maths. She parlayed that into her first job, as a research assistant with Ellume, after her 2016 graduation.

Now a Senior Scientist and Junior Project Manager with the firm, she recalls working on a number of projects, especially a TB blood test, using technology which can be applied to any disease.

“TB causes the largest number of deaths of any disease in the world,“ she said at her Gympie home this week.

“This was a test which could be used in developing countries with a high burden of TB. “It could be easily transported to outlying areas because it was easy to transport and simple to use,“ she said.

“When Covid happened we were in a good

position because we’d already done a lot of work on this sort of test.

“I had been involved also in developing a ’flu test.

“So we had a test platform that was ready use and we could leverage that to really rapidly develop a Covid test, including a home Covid test, because we had done the hard yards already.

“The project I now manage is a Covid test, but it is not a home test (like the product bought by the US) and it allows quick and effective lab testing.

“It uses equipment which is simple and durable and it can process eight tests, even for different diseases, at a time.

“All the core technicalities had been developed previously for the ’flu test, so we only took a year or less to develop the Covid test.“ The Ellume contract with the US will allow

Harmony Douwes happy in her groundbreaking Covid-19 work. increased production of the testing kits, boosting the number of tests undertaken in the US by 640,000 tests a day by the end of the year.

It allows the government distribution of 85 million kits and will finance a production facility in Maryland.

It is the first at-home test to get US Food and Drug Administration emergency approval, with the company claiming an accuracy rate of about 95 per dent, It is designed to detect virus fragments in a nasal swab and to be performed in 15 minutes.

Chancellor medal winner, Raymart, inspires others From interning at the Australian Embassy in Japan to graduating with near perfect results, Raymart Walker says his experience at USC has gone beyond all expectations.

Raymart, who is a first-generation Australian from Gympie, was awarded the University’s highest honour for a graduating student - a Chancellor’s Medal - at a USC graduation ceremony on Tuesday 6 April.

The former St Patrick’s College student also received USC’s highest academic award - a University Medal - for achieving an outstanding overall grade point average of 6.88 out of a possible 7 during his Bachelor of International Studies.

“For me, the Chancellor’s Medal is an incredible achievement that I attribute to the transformative power of education and the

great local, national and international opportunities afforded to me through my USC degree,” Raymart said.

“This was an award that coming from a regional area, as the first-in-family to attend university and as a first-generation Australian, I thought was unattainable for me,” he said.

“I remember in my first year at USC watching a Chancellor’s Medallist provide the graduands’ address at their ceremony. I never thought that several years later I would be receiving this honour.” The medal is awarded to a graduating student who has provided outstanding support and service to the University and wider community and has achieved a high level of academic performance.

For about 17 months, Raymart studied and worked in Japan under the Australian

Government’s prestigious New Colombo Plan program - a scholarship awarded to the nation’s best and brightest undergraduate students.

He interned at the Australian Embassy in Tokyo and the Australia-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce and represented Australia at a Student Leader Global Summit in the United States, and a United Nations youth symposium and a high-level ASEAN meeting simulation, both held in Thailand.

Embracing student leadership opportunities while studying at USC’s Sunshine Coast campus was a key priority for Raymart, who will also receive a USC Student Leadership Award at his graduation ceremony.

He gained insights into strategic governance while serving on USC’s Univer-

sity Council, led the Student Representative Council and co-created USC’s new Student Senate Governance Framework.

After completing his degree, Raymart was offered a role as International Liaison Officer at USC coordinating programs that provide students with international study, research and volunteering opportunities.

“These programs enrich a student’s academic experience and develop global capabilities and citizenship, which are highly valued skills in the workforce,” he said. “I view my role as giving back to enable other students to undertake similar opportunities that I had.”

Raymart, who also completed a Bachelor of Science in 2019, hopes his story will inspire others to embrace the many opportunities available through education.

Go camping over holidays An additional 500 camping spots were made available at Inskip Point in the Cooloola Recreation Area in time for the Easter holidays.

“Many of our more popular camping areas like Teewah Beach and Bribie Island were booked out for Easter, but there are still many other national parks and forests with camping sites still available,” Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said.

“Our campgrounds allow people to reconnect with nature and experience the beauty and tranquillity of Queensland’s unique environment.

“Many of our campgrounds are perfect for families, with picnic areas, barbecues, and shower and toilet facilities. Other campgrounds are great for fishing and water sports like canoeing and water skiing.

“Or you can take in the lush rainforest, diverse wildlife and bush tracks that lead people into the hills to breathtaking lookouts.

The recently upgraded Boreen Point Campground amenities.

Boreen rest Modern new amenities, complete with family bathrooms and additional unisex toilets await guests at Boreen Point Campground.

The refurbishment is an initiative of the Queensland Government, delivered as part of a $2 million Unite and Recover funding package for Noosa.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the project delivered a more functional layout, plus new tiles, paint, benches, sinks and mirrors among other fixtures and fittings.

“Boreen Point Campground welcomes more than 9000 visitors every year,” she said.

“These new facilities will ensure guests enjoy a more contemporary, comfortable, safe and family-friendly holiday experience for many years to come.”

The facilities are painted in a fresh new colour scheme to complement the natural beauty of the campground’s lake setting.

The $450,000 investment also includes im-

“With unspoilt beaches and sparkling blue oceans, or birdwatching and hiking, Queensland is synonymous with offering the very best holiday experience.”

Minister Scanlon said people taking holidays from central to far north Queensland were reminded to be Crocwise in croc country.

“And campers and visitors to K’gari for the Easter holidays are advised to respect the wongari (dingo) and never approach them or deliberately or inadvertently feed them,” Minister Scanlon said.

“People should also ensure they advise family or friends of their holiday plans, including a departure and return date.”

provements to water treatment facilities and the replacement of concrete water storage tanks. This work will be completed shortly.

The Mayor said the upgrade work was one of more than 10 infrastructure projects Council had fast-tracked with the state funding.

“We’re incredibly fortunate to have received the $2 million Unite and Recover funding on top of the $1.83 million the Queensland Government distributed previously during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the Mayor said.

“We’ve made sure the bulk of the funding goes to projects that provide tangible benefits to our community.”

Other projects include upgrades to more than 10 ageing toilet facilities across the shire, plus playground upgrades, while work will soon begin on new laundry and bathroom facilities at Youturn Youth Support to help those who are at-risk, vulnerable and homeless in Noosa.

Legal lessons shared It’s not often school kids get the inside word on some of Australia’s biggest known legal cases.

But thats exactly what Noosa District State High School Year 12 Social and Community Studies students during a recent visit by veteran lawyer David Muir.

While stories of the past has the students enthralled, his new focus on law-making, including Queensland Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) law reform and the Republic Campaign, also provided some important lessons.

Some of the cases highlighted by Mr Muir included his involvement in acting for the insurer regarding the Childers backpackers’ fire when fifteen young people perished in June 2000.

The investigation team, instructed by Mr Muir on the Childers backpackers fire claim, helped the police to identify that the fire was deliberately lit.

“This was the key part of the evidence that led to the apprehension of the perpetrator of the fire who remains in prison after being convicted for killing two of the fifteen victims of the fire,” Mr Muir said.

Mr Muir also spoke about the Annetts’ case against Sherwin Pastoral Company that went to the High Court regarding a nervous shock claim by the parents of James Annetts.

Teenager James Annetts, 16, died in the Kimberley Desert after becoming lost and attempting to drive his way out of the desert in a dilapidated station vehicle.

“The Annetts’ case, ultimately, changed the law in Australia in regard to the ability to sue for nervous shock,” Mr Muir said.

Mr Muir discussed with the students ‘the bombs in the ceiling’ case at the Kawana Shop-

Veteran lawyer David Muir with Noosa District State High School Year 12 Social and Community Studies students. ping World where he successfully defended an insurance claim over a million dollars in the Federal Court.

Mr Muir, now retired from the law, focuses his attention on law reform as chair of the Clem Jones Group.

“In 2018, the Clem Jones Group commenced a campaign for Voluntary Assisted Dying reform, with this campaign leading to

the Queensland Government instituting a parliamentary inquiry,” Mr Muir said.

This inquiry took evidence throughout Queensland, including the Sunshine Coast, and ultimately, recommended VAD reform to provide terminally ill Queenslanders a choice of treatment, along with palliative care, at the end of life.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk

referred the recommendations of the parliamentary inquiry to the Queensland Law Reform Commission, which has been tasked with drawing a draft bill by May 10, 2021.

This bill will be sent to the Queensland Parliamentary Health Committee for further discussion before a debate on the bill is due in September this year.

“The Clem Jones Group previously provided funding for the campaign in Victoria, which led to the passing of the legislation in that state,” Mr Muir said.

Western Australia, subsequently, passed similar laws, as did Tasmania last week.

A VAD bill is also currently before the South Australian Parliament.

“The campaign for an Australian republic requiring change to the Australian Constitution will take a little longer,” Mr Muir said.

The Real Republic Australia, chaired by Mr Muir, is committed to bring about a republic in Australia like the model in the Republic of Ireland, which will provide for direct election of an Australian Head of State.

“This would result, for the first time, in having an Australian who would be eligible to be our Head of State, instead of a King or Queen of England,” Mr Muir said.

The Year 12 students found Mr Muir’s presentation to be very interesting and relevant to their Legal Studies unit.

Year 12 student Luca Thomas hoped an Australian republic would bring about more opportunity for indigenous recognition in the Australian Constitution.

“We could also have our own national day, an Independence Day, on a date that everyone is happy about,” Luca said.

Busiest day at airport Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie said the record number of flights into the Sunshine Coast demonstrates a continued confidence in the region.

“Today (Thursday) is our busiest day ever with the Airport welcoming 20 flights,” Mr Brodie said.

“We have worked hard to bring back airlines and introduce new routes and additional services that provide passengers with greater flexibility and choice in where and when they want to travel.

“While there is no doubt that COVID has impacted many across the region, the continued growth of flights and passengers visiting our region shows there is still a desire by many

to visit our beautiful region.

“The lifting of lockdown coupled with the 50 percent discount on flights, which also starts today, will certainly have a positive impact.

“Our hard work is paying off with the number of seats and flights this April and across the Easter period higher than they were pre-Covid in April 2019 - a bounce back better than most airports across Australia,” Mr Brodie said.

“We are expecting to see 23 percent increase in the number of flights into the Sunshine Coast compared to 2019 across the Easter weekend and when you think about where we were 12 months ago with our terminal literally closing its doors - that’s a great achievement.

“This is a major boost to our region and local tourism operators who have been so impacted by COVID-19 as more flights means more visitors to our region and April 2021 will see 80,600 seats - more than an 11 percent increase on April 2019 (pre-COVID).

“The outlook is testament to Australians’ appetite to travel and their desire to explore the Sunshine Coast’s beautiful beaches, lush tropical hinterland and delicious local produce at our markets, restaurants and cafes.

“We encourage all Australians to take a trip to experience all that Queensland and the Sunshine Coast has to offer.”

Visit Sunshine Coast CEO, Matt Stoeckel, said that tourism operators were relieved that

the Brisbane lockdown had been lifted from midday.

“Whilst many accommodation operators reported cancellations because of the uncertainty, fortunately, the majority of travellers from Brisbane and interstate maintained their bookings and can now visit the Sunshine Coast as planned,” said Mr Stoeckel.

“The announcement is not the only good news today, with half-prices airfares going on sale to the Sunshine Coast through the Federal Government’s airfares scheme.

“Direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and Adelaide are eligible for the 50% discount, which will give the Sunshine Coast tourism sector a welcome boost over the winter season.”

PUBLIC NOTICE Local Government Act 2009 Proposed Local Law – Short Stay Letting or Home Hosted Accommodation (revised) Background In November 2019, Council publicly notified a proposed local law for short stay letting. A number of written submission were received which identified a range of issues relevant to both the proposed local law and the then draft Noosa Plan 2020.

A revised local law has now been prepared proposing a number of changes, having considered public submissions, legal advice, stakeholder engagement and internal staff review.

Purpose of the proposed local law and subordinate local law 2021 Council is proposing to introduce a new subordinate local law requiring approval for short stay letting and home hosted accommodation.

Generator donation from police Noosa Heads Police have decommissioned their original diesel generator and donated to the Nambour TAFE college to assist students in their electrical apprenticeship training.

The 37 year old Lister Powerlite diesel generator, capable of a 12.5kVa output, was originally installed at the Noosa Station when it opened on 6 August 1984 to provide emergency power during outages.

Over the years, demand for power within the station has grown significantly with the introduction of computers, PABX systems, air conditioning and other essential equipment, rendering the generator unfit for purpose.

The unit has been replaced with a 110kVa Genelite generator capable of powering the station well into the future.

Instead of sending the old diesel generator to auction as is normal practice for decommissioned government equipment, police wanted to find a better use for the unit.

Contact was made with Craig Dillon from Nambour TAFE who is responsible for teaching electrical apprentices and he enthusiastically accepted the retired generator on behalf of Nambour TAFE. “We are thrilled to be able to donate this generator to the Nambour TAFE college to assist in their training our electrical apprentices into the future,” Sen Sgt Ben Carroll, OIC Noosa said.

7. Submissions must be received on or before Friday 14 May 2021 stating— (a) the grounds of the submission; and (b) the facts and circumstances relied on in support of the grounds.

Submissions can be sent to shortstaylocallaw@noosa.qld.gov.au or PO Box 141, Tewantin 4565. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Tewantin teen benefits Going out with her friends on school holidays and weekends is the goal for Sophia Savage, as she continues to develop and improve her speech, communication and social skills with the help of National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports.

The 17-year-old lives in Tewantin and is using her NDIS funding to attend physiotherapy to improve her motor skills, speech therapy to progress her verbal communication, occupation therapy and psychology.

Mum, Khanh, said Sophia - who has an intellectual disability - would hide in the house, refuse to go out in the community and was afraid of animals and pets, until she accessed the NDIS in 2019.

“Sophia is now gaining her confidence to join in the community; she talks more to express her feelings, can walk past dogs now without jumping, screaming or running away,” she said.

“Sophia is now supported in her goal to improve her speech and communication skills so she can interact with family, friends and the community effectively, to continue to build social and community activity participation (and) help Sophia to build her daily living skills in the community.”

Speech therapy is also helping the teen to effectively use her Proloquo2Go app to best express her feelings.

Khanh said Sophia is now doing more activities outside and is accessing a support worker to attend a local service provider every Thursday, taking part in sport activities.

“She loves it and is more confident; she likes to go out more and is now not shy to see people around.”

Khanh said before accessing the NDIS she was concerned about how her family was going to fund supports for Sophia.

“We love our daughter and did worry how we could find money to pay for all her therapy, and also how we could support her when she finishes school this year,” she said.

“We can relax now about Sophia’s future and how she is being supported by the NDIS. “We say a big thank you to NDIS.” Sophia received assistance to apply for and implement her NDIS funding from Carers Queensland’s NDIS Local Area Coordination

Tewantin teen Sophia Savage continues to develop and improve her speech, communication and social skills with the help of NDIS. Partner in the Community Program for the Maroochydore region.

Khanh said Local Area Coordinator (LAC), Shannon, assisted her to use her NDIS funds appropriately to get the most benefit for Sophia.

“Shannon always answers my questions in

a short time and encourages me to communicate with her whenever I need help with the NDIS; I always feel a warm welcome from our LAC.” Carers Queensland can support you to find out more about the NDIS, to apply for funding and to help you get started with the NDIS.

If you have a disability but are not eligible for the NDIS, Carers Queensland can also help you identify and link to options for support in your community.

New program helps Sunshine Coast cancer sufferers A new program at Bloomhill Cancer Care has started this month, helping young people with cancer aged 18-shy; to 50.

The program offers a support group, a free exercise assessment and weekly gym session, a special art therapy group and some cooking classes.

“We are so very excited to be offering the Young People with Cancer and their Partners Program - and plan to help many families on the Sunshine Coast with tailored support,” Bloomhill Cancer Care Clinical Services

Manager, Trish Wilson said.

“Diagnosis of cancer at any stage of life can be a great shock and presents a range of challenges, however being diagnosed with cancer when you are a young person with so much living to do and often a young family who rely on you, adds a whole other layer of complications, fears and worries.”

Thanks to a $31,500 donation from IGA Marketplace Wises Road’s charitable foundation, the pilot program will run for three years.

“The program has been welcomed by existing Bloomhill clients, but we are also opening it to the wider community. If you have been diagnosed with cancer and are aged between the ages 18 and 50 and are not yet part of the Bloomhill family, please reach out to us. Our beautiful wellness centre at Buderim is here for you,” Ms Wilson said.

“Our practitioners running these sessions are highly experienced in helping support people going through cancer. Our clients are treated with dignity and respect, and many find our service life-changing.”

IGA Marketplace Wises Road’s charitable foundation makes philanthropic contributions to help children and their families in rural and regional areas.

“As a cancer survivor myself I know firsthand the many challenges people face in this situation,” IGA Marketplace Wises Road owner Brad Hopper said.

“Supporting Bloomhill’s programs is an easy choice as they have a strong reputation for providing empowering support for cancer patients and their families.”

Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) is checking out how different postcode localities are tracking towards the goal of zero community emissions for Noosa by 2026. This week we’re focussed on Boreen Point, Cooroibah, Cootharaba, Noosa North Shore, Ringtail Creek, and Tewantin, which make up postcode 4565, to see how they’re progressing with their electricity usage.

Tewantin is an anglicised version of the Gubbi Gubbi / Kabi Kabi name for the area, dauwadhum, meaning place of dead logs because of its original sawmilling port. Old Tewantin still reflects Noosa’s rich history, while the new town has a bustling main street and a thriving leisure port with bars and restaurants.

Just over one quarter of the people in Noosa Shire live in postcode 4565, and residents are leading the way with 46 percent of dwellings having installed solar PV, whilst 38 percent of businesses have invested in solar.

Total solar installed is around 14.2 MW which would fully cover about 12 soccer fields.

It’s estimated that less than 10 percent of the solar PV potential on all roof types is being utilised, so there’s plenty of space for more.

About 18,200 tonnes of CO2 per year has been avoided by the solar on roofs and other renewable generation, which would otherwise have been emitted from coal fired power stations.

The electricity from rooftop solar is shared around, with just under 50 percent of the electricity generated consumed on premises and the rest exported to the grid and used by other locals. Overall electricity consumption is going down in spite of the number of electricity customers going up. Over a 10 year period average residential daily usage is down

Animal welfare laws review Queenslanders have been invited to have their say as the Queensland Government initiates a major review of animal welfare laws to ensure Queensland laws keep pace with community expectations.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the review will continue to ensure that our animal welfare laws remain current and protect the welfare of all animals in Queensland .

“I know Queenslanders love their animals as valued members of their families,” Mr Furner said.

“They are also vital to agricultural production, involved in sport and recreational activities, and they assist individuals and services in areas such as quarantine and security.”

“While the current laws have served us well, they’ve been operating for 20 years without a significant review. In that time, the community’s expectations for animal welfare has evolved.

“This review will examine all aspects of the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 to ensure that the Act continues to meet changing community expectations and modern animal welfare practices.

“RSPCA Queensland is an important animal welfare partner with the Queensland Government and we will be working closely with them on this review.

“I encourage anyone who has an interest in the care of animals to have a say as part of the review - whether you have pets, produce livestock for a living, or work with animals.”

As part of the review, we are seeking feedback on issues including: Mandatory reporting by veterinary professionals of animal welfare concerns; Prohibited events, regulated surgical procedures and offence exemptions; The use of baits and traps; Restraining dogs in open utility vehicles and trucks; The use of animals in science; Inspector powers and arrangements for externally appointed inspectors; The management of animals seized during animal welfare investigations; and Penalties for animal cruelty.

NSW stock squad policing livestock Minister for Police and Corrective Services Mark Ryan last week congratulated Detective Superintendent Colin Briggs from the Drug and Serious Crime Group, and the Queensland Police Service’s specialist rural investigators, on their rural-stock investigation course and their dedicated commitment to supporting regional Queenslanders.

Detectives from the Major and Organised Crime Squad (MOCS) Rural - also known as the Stock Squad - are continuing to enhance their skills to be best placed to work with regional communities and ensure the security of agricultural industries in Queensland.

Livestock theft has a significant impact on producers across Queensland, with a total of 203 cattle and sheep occurrences recorded in the past two years alone.

These figures include the theft of more than 7,000 head of cattle, representing a reported value of at least $7 million.

The rural-stock investigation course is hosted yearly by the Queensland Police Service in Millmerran since it commenced in 2001.

MOVE. YOUR WAY. Noosa’s premier health club

2 WEEK FREE TRIAL

PLUS FREE EXTRAS

Each year, the course trains existing and hopeful investigators from across the state, as well as from other policing jurisdictions in the skills required to carry out livestock investigations.

This includes a range of practical components such as equine and motor skills, animal husbandry, navigation, mustering, exhibit handling and brief preparation.

Detective Superintendent Colin Briggs of the Drug and Serious Crime Group said MOCS Rural investigators consistently worked on enhancing prevention and disruption strategies, skills and techniques.

“With fluctuations in the price and value of stock, we know the value these specialist police officers present in their abilities to investigate anything that jeopardises the integrity of the industry,” Detective Superintendent Briggs said.

“Spending time and effort refreshing key skills in areas relevant to these specialist roles ensures that our investigators all around the state continue to be able to efficiently undertake their unique duties.”

Police Minister Mark Ryan said there was the opportunity for the MOCS Rural officers to engage with their counterparts, including the two Rural Crime Investigators from interstate also in attendance this year.

“The course gives investigators the opportunity to come together with their colleagues from around the state and where possible, their counterparts from other policing jurisdictions to share knowledge and experiences.

“With investigators located in regional areas across the state, the community can have confidence that MOCS Rural are committed to investigating and prosecuting farm, stock and rural crime,” Minister Ryan said.

“The skills they are learning and refreshing at this course are only going to better equip them to do so.

“From compliance checks in saleyards and inspecting vehicles carrying livestock to disrupting other rural crime, I’m confident these MOCS Rural officers will return to their respective communities ready to continue the great level of service they already provide to our Queensland rural communities.”

A passion for caring for the Australian landscape has seen the Andrews family establish their home in the Mary Valley and continue a valuable tradition, as ERLE LEVEY discovered.

The journey continues It’s an old landscape. One that has found its natural level over thousands and thousands of years.

Australia is regarded as the world’s oldest continent.

The oldest river. The oldest mountain ranges.

But the landscape is suffering like never before.

Stuart Andrews is continuing the work of his father Peter, who started the concept of natural sequence farming to restore the landscape to its natural functions.

Slow the flow of water, increase the diversity of plants, be aware of the damage animals can do to the land, understand the benefits of filtering the water and its nutrients before they leave the property.

That was in the Bylong Valley in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales.

Now his son Stuart is continuing that work ... from the Mary Valley.

Sharing a cup of tea around the kitchen table of the family Kybong property, you can see the passion of caring for the landscape runs deep.

Stuart’s wife Megan, and their two sons Hamish and Lachlan, are also carrying on the Andrews tradition.

Peter Andrews converted his degraded high-salinity land at Tarwyn Park into a fertile, drought-resistant estate.

In doing so he earned an Order of Australia Medal.

Stuart grew up on the horse and cattle property in what can only be described as “a hidden valley.’’

Prime land sandwiched by ranges between Mudgee and Newcastle.

Megan’s first teaching position was at Bylong Valley school, which had the Andrews property on the boundary.

Was she intrigued by the young neighbour continually mending fences?

Did he go to the tennis club to meet her only to have found she had already left for the day?

Whatever the real story, it turned out to be a turning point in both their lives.

The next pivotal moment was the issues that come with generational change and the running of the family properties.

That was made harder by protracted negotiations with the banking industry.

During all of that Stuart and Megan bought their 107-hectare property at Kybong in the Mary Valley at the end 2015, and moved here at the end 2016.

“I believe this is a model of farming that fits in with natural sequence farming,’’ Stuart says.

“We found someone else to run it. They were in Queensland, so we decided to buy a place here.

“We researched it and found the Mary Valley to be a good area - close to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

“It would work, and we are always ready to

We had a week to make the decision on whether to load the truck up. Queensland sounded good. The easier road would have been to walk away.’’ help give someone a start.’’

Yet that only lasted 12 months so Stuart and Megan had two choices ... shut it down or move up here.

Hamish had just finished school and was doing a gap year, which was a blessing, Megan continues.

Lachlan was still at boarding school and Megan had just finished as school principal.

“We had a week to make the decision on whether to load the truck up,’’ Stuart explains.

“Queensland sounded good.

“The easier road would have been to walk away.’’

The vision was a free-range farm but not the concept of big sheds.

They needed planning approval to do what was regarded intensive farming with the number of free-range chickens and pigs to run on the property.

Once that was in place the task turned to marketing the produce direct to local retailers and consumers.

Part of Forage Farms is to help educate people on the benefits of natural sequencing.

That includes workshops and seminars for farming as well as landcare and community

groups, as well as school tours of the property.

On one recent tour Stuart was asked: “So you want me to grow weeds in my paddock, how do I make money from that?’’

He thought that was a valid question and had to come up with a valid answer.

“This is the model to show we can run chickens and pigs, that work as primary colonisers of a landscape.

“They can work within landscape allowing plants to add to it.

“That allows a farmer to build the landscape to be in a condition to move to the next stage.

“Our product is eggs or meat that gives cash while getting the landscape into condition for running those animals.

“We always had a vision. The vision was to run a poly culture ... to run a multiple species farm with multiple layers.

“Chickens for eggs, pigs for pork, lambs, now chickens for meat and then vegies ... that will be the next step.

“Everything must work in harmony with the other and with nature.

Natural sequence farming is about maintaining ground cover all the time.

You cannot have the chickens remove

They have to work in conjunction, in rotation so one doesn’t impact the other.

At Forage Farms they are also growing a diversity of plants, as many as they can get as that’s what drives the system.

The property is under multi-species pasture. Not simply grass.

“We’re getting there,’’ Stuart says. “Still not where we need to be.

“But the plant cover is a lot more diverse now than when we arrived.

“When we first came there was bahia grass ... a runner. All all it does is grow across the ground.

“Animals cannot chew it out as it is so hardy.

“We went to what was growing under a patch of trees ... it was green panic, a good grass, far taller, much more palatable for animals.

“We thought, right, this is what we can get to. That’s the potential.’’

The trees gives some shelter, some shade and fertiliser from cattle, while moisture drips from the leaves.

“Deforestation leads to a drier landscape which increases wind,’’ Stuart warns.

When it’s time to say goodbye, remember them forever...with a Memorial Plaque on our wall and have their ashes scattered at sea.

“The western side of the dividing range has been dehydrated and denuded of plants.

“We are breaking the rules ... we are putting nature out of balance.

“If we continue doing what we have been doing and it will only get worse.

“Big business wants to talk about sustainability ... sustainability was gone 10 years ago.

“You need to grow ... farming is talking about regenerating, making it better.’’

Stuart believes it makes more sense to fix the landscape to make room for all - diversify the plants in the landscape as diversity means everything can co-exist.

“We need to look at it on a bigger level than focus on a paddock-by-paddock issue.

“We are constantly treating the symptoms, not tackling the problem. Otherwise the symptoms just change over and over.

“If we don’t tackle the problem the symptoms continue to change.’’

At Forage Farms there are sheep breeds of dorper and Aussie white. Both are shedders, so they are not raised for wool.

The dorper has a stronger meat flavour while the Aussie white has a softer meat texture.

Stuart and Megan originally brought up wool sheep from New South Wales but soon sold them off due to the climate.

The Aussie whites were developed at Oberon, near Bathurst, and are a cross of about five other breeds.

The cattle are mostly droughtmaster to handle ticks and buffalo flies as well as the climate.

The pigs are mainly large white, duroc, and berkshire.

The egg-laying chickens are hyline brown, what we would call isa brown, while the meat chickens are a bond broiler.

Maremma dogs are used to protect the

chickens as they range from the caravans that are used to move to new pasture.

On some parts of the property they run “flerds’’ ... a flock of sheep and a herd of cattle.

Stuart describes his father Peter as being obsessed about the rehabilitation of the land.

“Show him a degraded landscape and he’s like a pioneer plant that comes in ... that plant needs to come in to build the landscape so the next pioneer can take over.

“He has made huge inroads ... he has a gift to read a landscape like no other.’’

Stuart has learnt it all. Now Hamish, and in time Lachlan, are set to continue the role of explaining how it works.

It’s what they teach at training courses all over Australia, throughout Queensland from Warwick to the dry tropics, as well as either on the farm or at local venues such as Kandanga Farm Store.

“We run mentoring groups for those who have been through our courses, so they understand that all plants have a role.

“The plants build the landscape, the animals benefit from it ... no landscape has ever been built by animals.

“If you do it right you are just managing the plants correctly.

“What we do is look at the landscape and see it as it was ... read the landscape ... how it used to function prior to our intervention.

“If you imagine the Australian landscape is a dinosaur skeleton ... we can see a foot and a head but we have to make a full piece of it.

“Something very powerful in information is the potential reconnection with Aborigines to the land ... its a connect that’s been broken.

“You have to take people back to those processes and teach them to read patterns in the landscape.’’

The question now is that Stuart and Megan

have found the Mary Valley, has the Mary Valley found you?

They see it as a great foodie area - one that’s going to boom.

“We deliver to a number of restaurants,’’ Stuart says, “but they need to change to encourage farmers ... be prepared to label the food on the menu to promote the clean, green image “The area has a lot of potential to further develop its image of clean, green food. We are in the right position to take advantage of that.

“If you want to catch a wave do you catch it from behind it or the front?

“It’s better to be here before the wave crests, then you can roll on through ... help that wave along, bring the consumer on board.

“People come here for an experience ... they expect local produce.

“It’s a matter of jumping on board or playing catch-up.’’

The Forage Farms eggs are packed the and the family do the distribution of produce themselves, the majority being from Gympie to the Gold Coast.

They attend Witta markets once a month and do home deliveries to the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich.

Farming takes long hours, and it is changing all the time ... like the weather.

Trying to save try and save the Bylong Valley properties for the family was a major turning point for Stuart.

They were important properties and it hardens you for the journey ahead, he admits.

The Mary River is a boundary for their Kybong property and the rotation of animals is a key part of maintaining proper ground cover.

“It’s a matter of look and learn so not to overgraze,’’ Stuart continues. “Develop a pattern of observation.

“See what we need to learn and observe the

regrowth after it.

“Things change all of the time.’’

Even though it seems like a matter of finding order within disorder, Megan says that being your own boss and being able to work together as a family makes it all worthwhile.

Things such as providing good food for the family and being able to share with the wider community.

Now they are looking forward to growing the business.

Farm tours are on the increase and young people are inquiring about this type of farming.

Tree planting has been taking place this year ... bamboo is being used as a windbreak and Hamish has planted the beginnings of a food forest.

It might even become a pick-your-own experience.

Stuart is a very patient person but he believes climate recovery could be done so quickly if natural sequence farming could become widespread.

“I’d like to see this replicated throughout Australia.

“The trouble with property is it is only as good as the person heading it up.

“They have to look at themselves and see what they are capable of.

“Rather than buy more land do a better job of what have, get the know-how.’’

To this end he will continue to run training courses that inspire local groups with mentors.

Encourage farmers and consumers to come closer together about where the food is grown and how it is grown.

Consumers can understand the message through food, Stuart concludes. And in the end, consumers control politicians through the ballot box.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU in order and par for the course. Not surprising that the ethical standards set by the Prime Minister and his ministers and parliamentary colleagues permeates the system. What’s good for them, is good for the rest of us.

The Prime Minister is correct to call out the pervasive influence of social media and the damage it is causing right across swathes of the community. But we haven’t seen him call out the behaviour of shock jocks and the contribution they have made to misogynistic behaviour in our communities. Who can forget the appalling references to Julia Gillard and more recently to Jacinda Ardern? Perhaps the Prime Minister and his colleagues could set the tone by boycotting radio interviews and the late-night TV shows that peddle such unacceptable comments.

It’s one thing for Andrew Laming to engage in some behavioural therapy; the Prime Minister needs to take some counselling (he does have a bloated media unit, after all) on his own body language, particularly during Question Time, and not turn his back when female members of the Opposition ask questions.

There has been a lot of talk about the need for respect in recent weeks. Time to walk the talk.

John Hare, Marcus Beach

Gender stereotype Love the paper but sorry to say, Phil Jarrat’s gender stereotyping is showing (Husband versus wife, Fri Mar 26). Thought for a minute I was reading an article from the 1950’s. How pleased you were that ‘world order had been restored’ and the ‘housewife from Hawaii’ had been kept in her place. We get that satire is your style but perhaps what’s needed is an editor with power of veto over questionable tone, particularly in the current climate. Call me anytime.

Take women seriously At a time when the media is crawling with the issue of consent and how women across the country are asking to be heard and taken seriously when it comes to being seen as more than just a ‘sex object’, I think the choice of image on the front page of Noosa Today 26th March, was a poor one.As you know, I work in the area of body image, sex, sexuality (and many other topics) with kids and am seriously disappointed with the photo that Noosa Today chose to lead with. I thought we were a little more evolved than that. As a result, I’d imagine the majority of people seeing (because that’s more dominant than the words) this article will most likely end up thinking (including young girls) that Imika became a finalist for Miss Universe, first and foremost based on her looks and body.

It’s a shame the paper couldn’t have taken this as an opportunity to help turn the tides on objectifying women at a time when society needs it most by using a photo of Imika clothed with Toybox Australia for example on the front cover.

I get it, we’re talking about Miss Universe and being half naked with a cracking bod is all part of the shenanigans, I just don’t think, ESPECIALLY at the moment that it was a very sensitive or well thought out approach.

At least it’s opened up some conversations with my kids and parents and kids that I work with as to how it makes them feel and what they think (if anything) could have been done better here and what message it’s sending out there.

Tasha Lawton, Noosa

Bikini photo disappoints It was truly disappointing to see an (almost) full page photo of a bikini clad young woman on the front page of the latest issue of Noosa Today.

Imika should be supported in her campaign to raise funds for Toybox Australia and not sexualized to grab attention.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the lovely photo of Imika which was buried on page 6 graced the front page? Or perhaps a photo which shows her engaging with disadvantaged children, given Toybox Australia’s mission is to “light up the faces of disadvantaged and sick children”.

With all the disturbing news concerning women in government, it is surprising more thought isn’t put into local newsprint and the messages being sent.

developers from having to place public advertisements/notifications in newspapers..... (Apr 2/21). The law currently covers such things as mining leases and amendments to land use.....

QCPA President Phill LePetit is of course absolutely correct to be concerned. As we all should be. We should be very concerned indeed.....Mr Le Petit: “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.....”

Treasurer Cameron Dick says this is a good idea because it would help “rein in government spending” .......I would put this to Mr Dick: Were you to put out a call to Queenslanders to make a list about where the government could rein in spending, this newspaper alone would double in thickness the next issue....Mr Dick would also do well to remember : Noosa knows

well how to fight!

What we may also be wondering is that seemingly they are far too busy to see to many other issues, STA’s and VAD included, “because of Covid”, - yet they find time to discuss something like this. Call me cynical......

Thank you to Sandy Bolton, MP for Noosa for opposing this move. Well done also to Mr LePetit and Noosa Today for the full page open letter.

M.Gaynor, Noosaville

Need for respect I think a couple of issues have been overlooked in the commentary on the toxic culture pervading Parliament House and the political environment in Canberra.

The reluctance by the government to proceed with a Federal integrity commission or similar body sends a signal (the wrong signal) that malpractices and gaming the system is

Airbnb and other STA platforms are like a cancer that has metastasised in Noosa destroying permanent residents’ quality of life, creating homelessness for residents who need to rent and impacting negatively on people who run non-Airbnb accommodation. Ultimately uncontrolled STA in residential areas will destroy the Noosa community, leading to no workers for service industries, no volunteers for events and organisations or volunteers who protect the environment, no one to support local business when tourism periodically goes belly up and no sense of community for residents who find themselves with no permanent neighbours. Given STA is an accommodation business incompatible with residential zonings, Noosa Council ought to put a priority on acting with urgency to ban STA in areas designated as Low Density Residential, as an initial response to dealing with the issue.

The modernisation of less serious offences in Queensland in 2004 saw many old, and curious, laws repealed, including the Vagrants Act. It was believed that wearing slippers was an indication of a person’s intention to engage in burglary and/or housebreaking.

Now, the suspicion no longer attaches simply because you choose comfort over style, and most house burglars prefer wearing Nike as opposed to the Ugg. Today, if you wear slippers (or Ugg boots) in public, the only police you have to contend with are the Fashion Police.

More than 50 Sunshine Coast community groups collectively received more than $1 million in donations from Maroochy RSL in 2020.

Maroochy RSL’s donations are part of the organisation’s ongoing pledge to support the local community, with more than $6.5 million being donated to over 350 organisations since 2015.

Maroochy RSL CEO Clare Paton said she was delighted that the Club was in a position to help the Sunshine Coast’s community groups, particularly during 2020 when they had to endure such unpredictable times due to COVID-19.

“Maroochy RSL primarily supports veteran welfare and wellbeing as well as schools, sporting bodies, animal charities, musical groups and other not-for-profit organisations,” Ms Paton said.

“There were many groups who suffered

great losses in 2020 — both in volunteer resources and/or financial support — so it was great to be able to provide a financial relief to these services at a challenging time.

Bev Brocklehurst is a dog trainer and minder at one of the grant recipient organisations, Compass Institute, and said the team were very grateful for the donation from Maroochy RSL, which enabled them to continue their program of gifting assistance dogs to children with autism.

“There was a period for about three months when we were unable to fundraise at our very popular Sunshine Plaza pop-up and we also had to cancel one of our major fundraising events, which left us around 30 per cent down on our fundraising potential for the year. We couldn’t have continued our service were it not for generous donations like that from Maroochy RSL.”

Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre was another of Maroochy RSL’s successful recipients and coordinator Niamh Conway said as her organisation didn’t see an increase in regular state funding, the donation from Maroochy RSL was particularly helpful in supporting the unfunded work they did in the community.

“The donation from Maroochy RSL as well as from so many generous community members make a world of difference to our organisation,“ Ms Conway said.

“Thanks to this support, we could remain open during 2020 to continue supporting the homeless and marginalised by providing up to 112 meals per week, via takeaway.

“During COVID-19, we also saw members of the community who were retrenched, made redundant or who lost their jobs visit the Centre for food support, help with Centrelink, rental and tenancy advice as well as medical support.”

Recovery is slow

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien

Recovery, whether from illness, adversity, or natural disaster, is never a quick process.

It’s been almost 18 months since the bushfires that devastated parts of Noosa, and the Morrison Government remains committing to helping heal the scars these fires have left on our environment and in our communities.

As part of these recovery efforts, I was pleased to announce $149,750 for the Noosa Environmental Education Hub to run a bushfire recovery education program in three local schools and $29,952 for Noosa Integrated Catchment Association to rehabilitate parts of Girraween Nature Reserve.

As we have seen recently with the snap lockdown in Brisbane, we are not yet out of the woods with COVID-19, and if Australia’s

economic recovery is to remain on track, we must remain cautious and adhere to medical advice.

People aged over 70, or with certain health conditions, are now eligible for the vaccine which is being rolled out to more than 4,000 general practices by the end of April including in the Noosa area.

To check your eligibility, or find your nearest practice providing vaccinations, visit australia.gov.au or call 1800 020 080.

You may also be aware that I recently supported a motion for a Royal Commission into Veteran Suicides.

Countless veterans have sacrificed their mental wellbeing to keep us safe, and we owe them, at the very least, our support in their

recovery. With veterans twice as likely to take their own lives as the rest of us, there is clearly a significant problem that we must take action on.

We need to examine how we can maintain the mental and physical wellbeing of veterans, including the provision of adequate funding for the services like advocacy and occupational therapy.

I was also pleased to be appointed to the Select Committee to inquire into Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, which will examine a range of findings and reviews of the current mental health system in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2019 bushfires, working towards better mental health care for all Australians.

On The Soapbox In recent days Noosa Today has been called to task by a few readers for gender bias and stereotyping, allegations which senior writers MARGARET MACCOLL and PHIL JARRATT felt compelled to defend.

Bikinis OK for beach, but not our paper Looking back at Noosa Today front pages over the past two years I noted images of women in swimsuits on about eight occasions. There was never a complaint against images of women surfing, in triathlons or life saving but a photo of Noosa’s Miss Universe contestant brought out the ire from a couple of readers.

Why? Certainly if we lived in Canberra “in the current climate“ an image of a bikini-clad woman would be out of place, but not in Noosa where women and men wander about daily on beaches and across the villages in swimsuits.

Were we objectifying the Miss Universe contestant, Imika Neylan, when we used the very tasteful photo, that she supplied, to announce her place in the international competition? I don’t think so. If a Noosa man made it into Mr Universe would we publish an image of him bare-chested? Undoubtedly.

But the questioning of women in swimsuits in beauty pageants is not a new one. Books have been written about it, numerous research papers have analysed it.

In her book The Swimsuit Fashion from Poolside to Catwalk, Christine Schmidt looks at the changing shape of swimsuits and its links to social mores and codes of morality.

For the past 100 years women’s swimwear has been under scrutiny in various instances from practical athletic activities to its use in film, fashion and beauty pageants.

In the 1900s men and women fought for the right to reveal their bodies in streamlined swimsuits in public spaces.

A hundred years later the swimsuit raises more questions about women’s bodies and how they should and shouldn’t be displayed and the patrolling of different social conventions governing them.

In 1968 feminist protestor of the pageant, Rita Freedman described some of the confused emotions the pageant elicits in women, as those who denounce the pageant also often count themselves among those who faithfully watch year after year.

“It is not beauty per se that corrupts, but the assumption that beauty is imperative to femininity,“ Freedman said.

The beauty pageant also reflects the conflict society experiences when female beauty is equated with competitiveness and must be judged.

At Noosa Today we regularly publish stories about locals who have made it to the world

stage in their chosen field and accompany it with a photo to convey that message.

In this instance the story was about a local women competing in an international competition in which women wear swimsuits. Some people suggested we should instead have used a photograph of the woman depicting her raising funds for Toybox Australia which is a re-

quirement of the competition.

If the story was about a female surfer who had won a place in an international surf contest that also raised funds to rid the ocean of plastics would we have used a photo of her holding up plastic rubbish removed from the sea or one of her in a swimsuit displaying her skills in surfing?

Don’t let humour die One reader accuses me of “questionable tone, particularly in the current climate”, while another, in some detail, explains why my “jokey inferences undervalue women and underpin the belief in men’s superiority in well, everything.”

These readers are quite entitled to their articulate responses to my hopefully humorous and light-hearted take on a humorous and light-hearted event, the recent and historic clash between Sierra Lerback and her husband Zye Norris in a final at the Noosa Logger surfing contest (Husband vs wife, NT March 26), and I thank them for their interest in our paper.

But there was no hidden agenda in what I wrote, no dark underbelly. It was just a bit of fun, similar to what we used to have before the Canberra revelations.

Yes, I think journalists should think more carefully about what they write on gender issues “in the current climate”, but I have also thought that about issues of race, sexuality and in fact all human rights, for quite a long time. And I don’t subscribe to the view, sometimes put out there by the political correctness police, that humour must pay the ultimate sacrifice.

If you analyse just about any line or joke that makes you laugh, it is likely that there will be a certain edginess to it, that it will question mores or elements of behaviour that are not intrinsically funny.

As a male writer, I know that now, more than ever, care should be exercised not to cross an invisible line when writing on gender issues. I don’t believe I have.

Moreover, in my short time on the editorial staff of Noosa Today, I’ve become quite proud of our coverage of justice and human rights issues in the local context, and of our ability to put a smile on readers’ faces.

Packed Majestic for show

By Ian Jobling

Donna and the Dynamos entertaining the crowd.

Mamma Mia

By Abbey Cannan The opening night performance of Noosa Arts Theatre’s Mamma Mia was an absolute hit amongst the crowd, with every audience member getting up on their feet.

Director David Williams allowed every cast member to shine, turning them into the perfect vessels for ABBA’s enduring music.

The Greek Island backdrop set the scene for a vacation-like experience, flying you to another magical place while still keeping two feet flat on the ground in Noosa.

Jo Hendrie is Donna Sheridan, a Donna with a powerful voice and overalls to impress. The motherly love of a single mum who worked hard to raise her daughter and run a business wasn’t going to be effected by three dad’s showing up the day before the wedding.

Frank Wilkie is Sam, the architect and one potential father to Donna’s daughter Sophie,

played by Teyla Brim. Teyla was a star with an incredible voice and professionalism in her performance.

Bill, played by original cast member Danny Fritz, brought the laughs with Stephanie Larmans’ Rosie, one of Donna’s best friends, who knew how to playfully entertain the crowd.

Harry, played by Robert Boesch, gave the sweet touch to the production with a perfect representation of the character.

Donna’s other best friend, Tanya, played by Alison Venning received an overwhelming response from the audience.

Her rendition of “Does your Mother Know” sung to Matty Johnston‘s Pepper, one of Sky’s cheeky best friends, left the crowd cheering, whistling and laughing.

The show was a well put together production, with seamless transitions in between sets, a great director, entertaining choreography, and an amazing cast to match.

Noosa entertainer Jonathan Anstock showed it isn’t only “big names from the glittering world of showbiz” who can pack a theatre.

It was standing room only last Saturday night at the Majestic Theatre in Pomona when Jonathan, in an all too brief two hours, presented ‘The Spirit of Leonard Cohen’ - his personal cabaret-style tribute to the Canadian singer-songwriter who died four years ago.

Complete with hat and charcoal-grey suit, the Cohen look-a-like Jonathan strolled on stage and from the moment he started his first of 17 songs, ‘Dance Me to the End of Love’, he had the audience enthralled.

In addition to his ability to sustain the character of Leonard Cohen, other highlights of the show were the versatility of musicians Janet Brewer, especially in ‘Hallelujah’ (keyboard) and Warren Brewer (bass guitar). Backing singers Sherelle Scott and Marianne Johnston featured admirably in ‘If It Be Your Will,’ and ‘Alexandra Leaving’.

Clearly, Cohen was much more a songwriter than a singer and that is evident historically by the popularity of his many songs recorded by singers who outsold Cohen in sales. For example, k d lang’s ‘Hallelujah.’

All credit to Jonathan as, in his narration throughout the entire concert he provided background and context for the extensive repertoire. ‘Cohen’s’ reminiscences of his time on the island of Hydra with Charmian Clift and George Johnston were one example.

For those who knew little about this acclaimed songwriter’s long and frequent bouts of depression, it helped explain much about the lyrics of Cohen’s well- and lesserknown songs. Anstock’s rendition of ‘Song Long Marianne’ was very moving.

Repeat performances of ‘The Spirit of Leonard Cohen: his story and his songs’ will be on June 5 - Coolum Civic Centre, and June 25 & 26 - Noosa Arts Theatre. Proceeds from the concerts in Noosa will go the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. For more information email inquire @leonardcohenspirit. com

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

More than a floating feed Trevor Pepys reviews Noosa Boathouse Restaurant Trevor has been around long enough to remember all the hooha decades ago when the “chest of drawers” climbed up the hill behind Main Beach in defiance of building height restrictions.

No 1 in Hastings Street was the ugliest building in the shire, but what we found as time went by was that if you were inside it you couldn’t see it, and the views were stupendous.

Trev has fond memories of sunset drinks on the terrace with a panorama stretching from Laguna Bay to the sun setting beyond the river and ducking behind Tinbeerwah, but don’t hold him to the geography. As he said, drinks were taken.

Many years later there was uproar again when somehow some one got approval to plonk a mini cruise ship on our beautiful river and call it a floating restaurant. And, like the chest of drawers, it was an eyesore when it was plonked. And guess what? Once you were inside it, you could enjoy the second-best sunset view in town while sipping on a bevvy or smashing a flathead.

It took Noosa Boathouse a few years to get organised, but for some time now, with the kitchen under the direction of the excellent Shane Bailey, it has hit its straps, with a classy sunset cocktail bar up top, a function centre in the middle and a very good seafood-based bistro at water level.

We were three again, this time with a refugee from the floods down south who had recently seen homes not much smaller than the Boathouse floating down the swollen Manning River. What could possibly go wrong?

As it turned out, nothing. Although the only available dinner booking was so ridiculously early we couldn’t watch the sunset from above, the Boathouse claims that every table in the house has a great water view, and we were afforded a pretty splendid sunset without too much craning of turkey necks. The first bottle of Dal Zotto Pinot Grigio ($46 and worth it) from the King Valley was cracked while we perused the menu, which didn’t take long since the formerly-flooded architect mate had fairly firm ideas about what we should share – fish, fish, more fish and fresh greens.

Which put Trev in mind of another architect, another time, when he shared the occasional repast at Steve and Lisa Cross’s Saltwater with the late and lamented Gabe Poole.

When the waiter came to take the order, Gabe would always say, “Fish.” When asked which fish, Gabe would say, “Your best,” and turn his attention to the liquid refreshment.

We settled on the specials board – a couple of serves of fish cakes with iceberg slaw ($18) to start, with the catch of the day, swordfish, grilled with green papaya salad, compressed pineapple and chilli lime dressing ($36) to

follow, supported by Asian greens ($9) and a serve of thick cut chips with aioli ($7). You can’t get much simpler than this. No skyscrapers of fried delights, no buckets of shellfish, just fresh grilled fish with clean, crisp accompaniments and the odd naughty chip, washed down with good white wine while the sun turns the river red.

Trev thought it was the best fish and chips he’d had in years, and there was consensus at the table as we finished the second bottle of Dal Zotto.

The Verdict: The reader might think that this is very much an entry level experience of the Boathouse, but for Trev the other night it was

absolutely perfect. And that’s the beauty of the place. You can go over the top or stay under the radar, in different spaces on different levels. More than a fish-and-chippery, it’s a Noosa eating experience you need to have.

Peregian Village vibes

By Margaret Maccoll The Peregian Village Vibes Festival kicked off last Thursday and continues across the Easter school holidays with a focus on Indigenous culture, outdoor movies, a live art gallery, twilight shopping nights, live music and great food.

An official festival launch was held last Saturday with a Welcome to Country from Kabi Kabi Custodian Lyndon Davis who talked about the significance of Peregian to the traditional owners, the Kabi Kabi or Gubbi Gubbi.

He spoke of the emu that until recent times roamed the coastal plains area and for which Peregian is named.

“The emu family is a totem for a lot of families in the district,“ he said.

Lyndon also acknowledged the native trees, saying we were honoured to have them to look after and he spoke of the paperbarks in flower that had long signalled heralded oncoming

monsoon weather that was predicted.

Noosa deputy mayor Frank Wilkie officially launched the festival, praising it for enriching the social and cultural life of the village and in support of Lyndon’s stories said when his parents bought a house at Peregian Beach in the 1980s emu could be seen regularly running along beside the highway, though not any more.

Village spokeswoman Nicky White thanked the local businesses, community and Tourism Noosa for rallying to organise the event.

“This is a labour of love and we hope you experience the vibe,“ she said.

The festival will include kids’ craft activities, community wellness classes, a Feast & Forage trail, Ocean Vibes education and beach cleanup and much more.

Frecheville enters The Dry

By Duncan Evans Every actor dreams of appearing in a major film or theatre production. With it comes the possibility of fame and a pathway to secure employment. But more than that, to appear in a great film, one that takes a hold of the public’s imagination and enters the cinematic canon to be watched and re-watched for decades to come, is surely the mountain-top for any creative artist dedicated to the craft of film.

James Frecheville, a 29-year-old actor from Melbourne, can claim to have struck magic twice already in his short career with his small but crucial performance in this year’s remarkable Eric Bana-headlined film The Dry, which comes some 10 years after his breakout performance in the now-canonical Australian crime film Animal Kingdom.

Noosa Today was lucky enough to speak at length with Frecheville in a wide-ranging conversation about his latest role in The Dry, why the film has been so well received by the public and critics alike and how he successfully navigates the tough and precarious world of acting.

The Dry The Dry is based on the debut novel by Jane Harper and Frecheville credits the popularity of the book in part for the film’s astonishing success.

“I think it’s a combination of the success of Jane’s book, and it having a sort of pre-established place in people’s heads. But also, last year was pretty terrible, on many fronts. And I think people just are eternally optimistic. I think people are really excited to get out of the house and do something that they were nostalgic about. Which sounds insane, to say that you’re nostalgic about going to the cinema, but nobody had any of it, for such a long time,” he said.

With critical acclaim and domestic box office receipts breaching $10 million, The Dry is the hit film for the month of January and suggests that there remains in people an entrenched desire to retain the full cinema experience, even in an age characterised by isolated online streaming.

“It’s all about a shared, disruption-free experience,” Frecheville said.

“Being a part of a community, whether you know anybody or not, just in that kind of setting, it’s pretty important.”

Locked in a darkened space before a massive screen, cinema-goers are treated to an entrancing mystery film that unfurls carefully around two shocking events events separated by decades. The film has about it the smack of greatness. Though ostensibly a police procedural, it builds to become a haunting meditation on the power of memory and the majesty of friendship, precisely acted, written and photographed across the desolate beauty of regional Victoria.

“It’s looks great and the film’s great, and it’s as simple as that,” Frecheville says.

Frecheville plays the role of Jamie Sullivan, a gruff young farmer struggling to keep his farm afloat while also looking after his grandmother.

Like the film itself, there is a degree of manipulation involved in how the audience perceives Sullivan, a product of Mr Frecheville’s acting abilities and the careful planning of director Robert Connolly. Sullivan appears to us in a certain light at the beginning of the film, and then our perception of him shifts and changes as the film progresses.

“The trick wasn’t really up to me,” Frecheville said.

“That’s in the coverage, that’s in the editing and the sound, and most of that falls on to Rob. What I tried to focus on was taking as much from the script and from the book as I could to find something to anchor the idea of Jamie Sullivan around. There was a part in the book where it said that he had his fists stuffed under his armpits. And I kind of thought that was interesting, just because, like many people within the film, they’ve all got secrets.

“He just had a pretty high guard. It’s not really a nice place to live. But, you know, he’s not one to complain.”

Initially, Frecheville auditioned for the role of Sergeant Greg Raco, played by Keir O’Donnell.

“I wasn’t right for that part, but my name got thrown into the hat for Jamie Sullivan, and that was it.”

36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 April, 2021

James Frecheville.

Asked whether he can sense a film’s potential for greatness from the script alone, he responds by saying that while a script may be redolent of something, it is always difficult to know how a film will turn out given the medium’s tendency to morph and shift across the multiple stages of the creative process.

“You do get a sense. A good script should convey imagery and thought. And then, you’re on set, and things change constantly. It’s just blueprints layered on blueprints until the edit, at which it could even change quite violently again. Sometimes I’ve seen that with films that I’ve done where the tone of what you thought you were being involved in just becomes completely different.”

Breakout Ten years before he would take on the role of Jamie Sullivan, Frecheville auditioned as a high schooler for the seminal role of Joshua Cody in David Michod’s operatic Animal Kingdom. Listed by Quentin Tarantino as one of his favourite films of the decade, it has since become the source material for a popular television show set in Southern California and is regularly listed by critics as one of Australia’s greatest films.

Frecheville’s stunning performance as an impressionable young man thrown suddenly into a dangerous world and then trying, in his limited way, to extricate himself from an escalating hurricane of violence anchors the film and imbues it with a complex moral code. The

Picture: DANIEL ARCHER film isn’t nihilistic, but it’s brutally jaundiced about human nature and the reach of justice in this world.

The Dry, by contrast, offers a somewhat more hopeful view about the possibility of securing justice, despite the shocking acts of violence that open and close the film and the shadow of abuse that permeates the story. A degree of clarity, at least, is granted to the audience by the end of the film, whereas Animal Kingdom leaves us in a more troubled state.

We are as unsure of Frecheville’s Cody at the end of the film as we are at the beginning. His method of closing out the story is as much a recognition of terrible failure as it is an act of brute righteousness.

Australian Cinema Frecheville lists Wake in Fright, Bad Boy Bubby, Chopper, Two Hands, Babe, Happy Feet and Mad Max as some of his favourite Australian films.

“Australia makes great films. I just hope that the frequency of telling Australian stories can kind of speed up the more the borders open up.”

He is optimistic about the future of the Australian film industry.

“People need stories. I’m interested with what sort of emerging technologies can start making different sorts of stories possible. It seems to me that the Australian industry is just absolutely booming. In the sense that a lot of

James Frecheville as Jamie Sullivan in The Dry international productions are coming there because they know that people work well and that it’s suitable to make big movies on a sort of world-class level.”

Animal Kingdom

The Dry What’s more, alongside Australia’s worldclass human capital and technological sophistication, our relative success in containing the virus also makes us an increasingly attractive destination for film production. This year will see a number of major Hollywood productions shoot in Australia, including the Liam Neesonhelmed action blockbuster Blacklight.

From LA to the UK Frecheville spoke to us from Wales via Zoom, ‘trapped’ in Britain’s extended lockdown restrictions.

“My partner and I came up here for Christmas and then Boris Johnson put the lockdown issue out, so we’re now sort of up here for series two of lockdown, because we were up here most of last year as well.”

When not in lockdown, Frecheville lives in London, having moved there from Los Angeles for a change in scene.

“I spent a lot of time in Los Angeles and ultimately wanted to try out a different setting. I didn’t really want to spend all of my twenties there. And Europe’s great and I’ve got a lot of friends in London. And I have a very soft spot for Ireland.”

James Frecheville in Black 47 Asked whether he thinks the deep friendships that anchor The Dry are still possible in the age of Zoom, Mr Frecheville replies: “I think it’s too early to say. I think sustaining deep friendships is easy. In a way, not much has changed for the way that I sustain my friendships, because I’ve got friends in all these different places.”

“But I’m just optimistic that things will get better. I can’t really see us holding into a sort of new lockdown paradigm for the next 10 years.

And thinking that a whole new generation of kids never go to school. I’m more optimistic than that. But maybe not, maybe this virus just keeps mutating forever and ever.”

A Natural Optimist Though The Dry and Animal Kingdom are perhaps his most widely-known contributions, Frecheville has appeared in an impressive roster of well-received films in a career that now spans more than 10 years. In 2018, he took on the lead role of Feeney in Black 47, an historical drama set in a famine-ravaged 19th century Ireland and in 2015, he appeared alongside Billy Crudup in the critically acclaimed Stanford Prison Experiment.

In regards to his own creative future, he hopes at some point to pursue writing and directing in addition to acting.

“But when I was writing when I was younger, it wasn’t ready or suitable enough to sort of get it to a point where it was fleshed out and out there,” he said.

“And tonally it’s quite different from my acting work. I’m kind of into a bit surreal, mad-cap comedy, sort of insane stuff. But yeah I’d totally want to explore that. But it’s just slowly slowly catchy monkey, is my idea the older I get, because I’m still learning. I’m still learning a lot.

“I came into it having done youth theatre.

Animal Kingdom was a baptism by fire. And ever since then I’ve just sort of been a journeyman. I haven’t gone to a school. I didn’t go to university. I’ve sort of gone all in on this trade, and I’m just learning as much as I can. Seems to be working, somewhat.”

The acting trade has a well-established patina of glamour, full of red carpets and flashing cameras. For many though, it’s a tough and precarious way to make a living, and Frecheville knows both sides of the coin; the struggle involved in simply making one’s way in the trade,

and also its possibility for grandeur and genuine achievement.

“I’ve been living by the skin of my teeth for years, it feels like. There’s nothing stable about it, but there’s also much victory and revelries as well,” he said.

For other young Australians who love cinema and hope one day to be involved in something permanent, Mr Frecheville has some advice.

“Be bold. Find like-minded people. Team up and make things. No one is going to sort of hand it to you. It’s always a great tip to be active. If you want to be an actor, start finding some friends that want to be actors and write silly movies and make them. And keep it fun, I’d say, because you don’t want a learning experience to be too serious or hard-core. I think consume as much media as you can. If you want to learn how to do things technically, you could watch a film and then watch it right back immediately after you’ve finished watching it the first time and pick it apart. Just be bold and be active, that’s what I’d say.”

The Dry is playing now in cinemas and Animal Kingdom is streaming on Stan.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Rough, rainy and ready It would seem that the weather gods have really got the sunny coast in their sights this week. With heavy rainfall, big seas and localised flooding it is more a case of do some much needed repairs and prep for when the sun shines. Those with crab pots are loading up and getting ready so its not a case of stay indoors.

Offshore has pretty much been on hold. A few boats made it out early in the week before the winds and swell arrived. With the windier conditions most anglers played it safe and stayed in close. After the last lot of heavy rains, as predicted the longtail tuna arrived in large numbers. These fish were found everywhere from Double Island to Mooloolaba and beyond to Morton. In the mix a few spotty and school mackerel were also found with some reaching around 90cm’s.

These fish mostly sit below the tuna schools and have not been smashing bait fish off the top. Casting chrome lures into the chaos and letting them sink before retrieval ensures you are getting down to these fish. Spanish mackerel are still patrolling the bait schools and out in deeper water following the rains. Deep dropping the biggest chrome lures through the schools and cranking them back in at high speed usually triggers a bite. Take a look at the Penn Battle Hi speed series of spin reels as they recover line very quickly and could get you just enough speed to trigger an aggressive bite.

The surf will see lots of new gutters and sand getting cleared out so for the serious anglers the drop in water temps and run off may stir up a few big jewfish. Most of the river mouths along the coast will feature deep holes and drop offs where jewies will lay in wait and when the tide turns they often feed before the currents become too strong. Last time big rains fell some reports of big dart around the 50cm range were reported from down the coast around Marcoola. These fish were taken on lighter 8kg outfits and fresh bait rigs of mullet and beach worm.

The Noosa River is now a dark colour of chocolate which will stay with us for many weeks now. As mentioned the mud crabs will certainly be on the move so come in and grab a crabbing kit, some pots and bait and we’ll show you where to go to get a few muddies.

Please remember the new bag limit is 7 and as always only the male crabs can be kept once legal size is reached. Other species are flathead and bream around the rocks of the mouth. Flatties will certainly be where the bait is and the lower estuary is where its going to be at while the fresh comes downriver. If you are catching catfish this is a sure sign you are in the fresh so head downriver. With the expected rainfall try to fish around the turn of the tides as this is often a trigger for fish

This thumper red emperor was boated on a recent Trekka 2 charter to Double Island Point. to feed. If you don’t get a bite try moving on.

Noosa certainly has a huge array of locations that can be fished on different wind directions so make the most of them.

Freshwater is hard going at the moment.

The surface bite is slower as is the bottom bite.

As we push toward a new moon next week this should change, but the big rains often shut the fish down a bit. As mentioned in last week’s report keeping lures and baits small could trigger a bite as a sulking fish is more likely to take a small prey item than a big one. The MMD soft prawn heavy is a great sized lure sure to trigger a bass of yellow belly 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.

Gymnasts finally return This weekend saw the return to full competition for the states senior gymnasts at the Queensland Senior State Championships. It was the first two-day competition for the athletes since the 2019 National Championships which was held in Melbourne.

The event was both the state championships and selection event for WAG, MAG and Acro athletes for the 2021 National Championships. Over 400 athletes attended including Tokyo Olympic Athlete Georgia Godwin and many senior international competitors in both the mens and women’s divisions.

Cooroy sent a strong team of 4 male athletes to compete to the event, Felix Mc William in level 8, Dean Chandler, Lyam Chandler and Finlay Jones in level 9. All competitors took part in the day one all around competition and in the second day apparatus finals.

The first day of all around competition saw many falls from gymnasts including competitors from Cooroy. The pressure of trying to qualify for National Championships and the lack of competition for almost two years led to moments of anxiety for both gymnasts and coach. All gymnasts did their best to put in a solid performance in the all around event. Despite having 5 falls on apparatus Finlay Jones still managed to finish first in the level 9 open division. In what he described as, “not his best day” he was pleased to steal a victory.

Gymnasts usually get a day’s rest between the all around day and the apparatus finals, but due to scheduling in the COVID era, the mens division was required to compete the next day for finals on the six apparatus. Level 8 athlete Felix was unable to take home a medal, but was well placed finishing 6th on vault, rings and high bar - a fantastic effort in his first senior event.

The level 9 boys had a more successful day with a better completion rate on the apparatus than on their all around day. Despite having the best floor routine on the first day and scoring a whole six points better than the first day, Lyam finished just off the podium with a 4th place on floor, pommel and rings scoring. Dean placed well on all apparatus scoring a 2nd on vault and a 3rd place on parallel bars, just missing medals on the other 4 apparatus. Finlay was able to medal on four of the six events winning rings and parallel bars and finishing 2nd on pommel and 3rd on high bar.

The Queensland team was announced at the event’s conclusion and the club will have two representatives again at the Australian Gymnastics Championships which is scheduled to be held at the Gold Coast from the 13th until the 25th of May. Both Dean and Finlay have been selected in the level 9 team with Lyam nominated as non travelling reserve.

The team will resume training as soon as the COVID restriction is lifted.

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 comes to Queensland “Hosting games here in Brisbane will generate cash for local businesses, support local jobs and help us to grow our reputation as a world class destination for major events.

“It’s also great for young girls and women who aspire to play the game on the world stage.”

Tourism and Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the FIFA Women’s World Cup was another great opportunity to show Queensland to the world.

“Hosting elite global sport confirms Queensland’s reputation as a world sporting event and tourism destination and support for up to 140 jobs,” Mr Hinchliffe said.

Brisbane has been named as a host city for the FIFA Women’s World Cup with matches set to be played at Brisbane Stadium (Lang Park) in 2023.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the stadium would be one of 10 venues in Australia and New Zealand.

“This is the largest women’s sporting event in the world. Having the world cup is a huge coup for Queensland,” the Premier said.

“The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 will bring thousands of visitors to the River City and a significant economic boost potentially worth up to $50 million.

“The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup played in France to a global TV and steaming audience of more than one billion fans.

“With international travel expected to be possible before 2023, the World Cup has tremendous potential to promote Queensland visitor experiences to the world.

“The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 will also deliver an incredible once-in-a-generation legacy for women’s sport in Queensland.

“We know when young girls and women see what’s possible on the world stage, they’re motivated to be their best on the field.”

Football Australia Chairman, Chris Nikou said the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™

would be the biggest sporting event on Australian soil since the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

“Today’s announcement of the Host Cities and match venues, including Brisbane Stadium, for the tournament is a major milestone in the build-up to the next FIFA Women’s World Cup™ - a tournament that will unite nations, inspire generations, and provide our diverse and multicultural game with the perfect platform to grow over the coming years.”

Discussions about the scheduling of match events will start soon and be announced in coming months.

Pin High Peter Owen

50 years as rivals

By Peter Owen When Keith Harkins was just a lad growing up on the NSW side of the Murray River, he earned $1.50 a nine for raking the sand greens at Tocumwal golf course.

A few years later he was at the wheel of a borrowed Ditch Witch, digging trenches for irrigation at a course that is now renowned as one of the finest regional tracks in the country.

When he started playing golf at a course he helped to build, Keith would go head to head with his best mate Mark Kelly, who he beat to take the 1975 Tocumwal C grade championship. A year later Mark reversed the result, narrowly beating Keith for the club’s B grade championship.

Fast forward nearly 50 years and the two lifelong friends are still slugging it out on the fairways – only this time at Cooroy.

And they’re no longer just friends. Along the way Mark met and married Keith’s sister Kate, and they’re now brothers-in-law. But they’re still playing great golf.

A fortnight ago five-handicapper Mark scored 39 points to take Division 1 of Cooroy’s Saturday competition. A few days later, in the veterans’ Wednesday Monthly Medal, Keith went around in 75 – his best ever score.

Though his net 66 was an outstanding result it wasn’t good enough to take the A grade trophy. He was beaten on a countback by fellow veteran Bob Noble.

“I didn’t care, though,” said Keith, who turned 65 just two days before the event. “It was just great to play well.”

He put his extraordinary round down to simply swinging slower.

“I’ve been swinging too hard and rocking forward onto my toes” he said. “I decided to swing at about 80 percent and the difference was truly amazing.”

Keith spent most of his working life as an engineer in the food industry, including 22 years in Brisbane. Like many parents, he pretty much gave golf away while his family was growing up, though he became a member of Redland Bay and, later, Brisbane Golf Club.

When he retired and moved to the Sunshine Coast five years ago, he joined Cooroy, where he says he’s made some great friends, and been able to renew his rivalry with his brother-inlaw, with whom he plays most Saturdays.

“I’ve got to admit, though, that being off eight makes it pretty difficult for me to beat him,” Keith said.

Ladies day at Noosa Springs Ralph Lauren – one of the most famous names in golf fashion – has thrown its weight behind Noosa Springs Ladies Golf Series, which kicks off for the year on Tuesday, April 20.

The fashion giant will offer prizes at this ladies-only event where golf and glamour get together three times a year.

Ladies take on Noosa Springs’ wonderful course in the morning, and follow up with a gourmet lunch, complete with glass of sparkling wine, in the clubhouse.

As well as the Ralph Lauren prizes, there is also a chance to win a session at one of Australia’s best day spas. Those who play in two or more of the three legs will be in the running for the major prize – a Half Day Spa Escape, which includes a Thermal Suite Experience and a choice of massage, facial or sugar scrub, plus four rounds of golf in an electric cart.

The cost for golf and lunch is $39 for Noosa Springs’ members, $94 for social and reciprocal members, and $104 for visitors.

Routine is important TAKE THE TIP

By Greg Lynch All golfers would like to be more consistent. But how do we start the process of developing consistency in a game that is anything but consistent?

A good place to start is by developing consistent pre and post-shot routines for every shot.

A sound pre-shot routine should be simple, repeatable and include the following: Assessing the shot at hand and choosing an appropriate club as well as a specific target that is as small as possible. The brain reacts better to smaller, more precise targets.

Developing a trigger. This could be touching the peak of your cap or tapping your shoe with your club - anything that triggers your mind to enter a focused state.

A practice swing that has purpose and is a dress rehearsal for the swing you want to execute.

Aligning your club face correctly and then aligning your feet/body correctly.

Take a final look at the target and then shoot!

Just as important is to have a sound post-shot routine that should include: Controlling your reactions. Give yourself a mental pat on the back for good shots and minimise negativity and over analysis of bad shots.

Acceptance. You can’t change what has happened. Best to accept the result (good or bad) and move on.

Mentally relaxing between shots as it is impossible to focus non-stop for 4-5 hours.

Developing a great pre and post-shot routine requires as much practice as your physical game, but it could just become the 15th club in your bag!

His score of 154 placed him 20th overall in the elite field of amateur golfers.

It was good enough for the five-handicapper to take the Division 1 nett prize (74, 70: 144). Marc also won the senior title by one stroke from Maroochy River’s consistent Keith Horne (77, 78: 155).

Mark, a former professional who is a passionate advocate of All Abilities golf at Cooroy, was part of the capacity field that braved the conditions in what is undoubtedly the Sunshine Coast’s biggest event for amateur golfers.

Noosa golfer Pete Walker (162) was the Division 2 (handicap five to 10) gross winner, George Giblett (74, 74) was the best-performed Noosa representative, his total of fourover-par 148 placing him fifth overall, one stroke better than clubmate Cooper Clarke (74, 75), whose challenge died with a double bogey six on the 17th hole on Sunday.

The event was won by rising Pelican Waters star Joel Stahlhut, who had rounds of 73 and 70 to win by two shots from Atherton’s Will Florimo (71, 74) and last year’s winner Adam Hawkins (76, 70) of Headland.

Joel, 21, who plays off a handicap of plus three, comes from Goondiwindi, where he won the club championship three times while still a junior.

Noosa Springs team takes Rose Bowl A TEAM of women from Noosa Springs upstaged the locals to take last week’s Rose Bowl, one of Maroochy River’s marquee events.

The Noosa Springs invaders - Rosemary Randall (36 points), Tracey Carter (36), Dianne Hudson (33) and Chrissy Hordern (37) – all contributed significantly to a team score of 142 points and win the four-ball aggregate stableford event by seven strokes.

The event, played on a soggy course after steady rain, drew 152 women from 20 clubs throughout southeast Queensland, and from as far away as Murgon and Nanango.

In the single stableford competition, which was run in conjunction with the Rose Bowl, the visitors again dominated.

Alison McCracken, a 16-handicapper from Wantima, won the A grade division with 41 points, while Caloundra’s Heather Busch (39 points) was the B grade winner.

Between The Flags Ron Lane

Introducing Mr Aspinall It was not the way that our local lifesavers expected to finish a trip away to contest a major surf carnival. However, this year on returning home from the annual Queensland Surf Life Saving Championships at Tugan, all contestants and officials that were in attendance, between 12.30pm and 2pm Sunday, were required to report to their local hospital for testing (regarding Covid-19) and quarantine at home until a negative result was achieved.

This allotted time was the period in which the final events were being contested. Happy to report that all our clubbies responded to the club officials’ request.

Head Coach for Sunshine Beach Club Josh Minogue said “There were no problems and the club responded according to our health regulations.” Great results for all concerned.

When the red and yellow flags go up on the weekend and our locals and tourists come to enjoy the surf, they do so under the care and observation of the beach patrols: every-one of which, is under the supervision of the duty Patrol Captain.

There are always two patrols per day, working from 7am till 12 noon then 12 noon till 5 pm: Saturday and Sunday.

During these daylight hours, working quietly in and around the clubhouse is the most important and powerful club member of all.

The Club Captain. He is the Patrol Captains number 1 back up and if need be, on very rare occasions, his advisor. Not even the club President has the power to go on to the beach and overrule him.

When you meet such a man or woman, one who has held the position for several years, on shaking their hand you will usually find yourself in the company of a BP Man: in other words, a quite achiever.

Such a man is Noosa’s Club Captain Roger Aspinall. This man, despite holding the position for five years, would still be relatively unknown in our community. When asked his goal regarding his position he replied, “To serve the community in a highly trained and professional manner.” We of the Noosa community could not ask for more.

Born in Sydney in 1958, Roger grew up in the suburbs of Epping and Carlingford. Attending Epping Boys High School, he graduated Year 12 to study chemistry and become a Laboratory Analyst for a pharmaceutical company.

Then a few years later, he started a contract packaging business with his brother: then 20 yrs on bought a kayak shop, which he and his partner Jules, extended to a three shop and hire business on Cockatoo Island.

However, after years of living in Sydney, being raised, educated and running their own business, Roger and Jules, decided it was time to “quit the rat race for something better.” And what could be better than Noosa Heads “We arrived in 2010 and decided to join the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club. We had never been involved in a surf club before, but as we were both involved in the sport of surf ski paddling, we decided to join.”

Obtaining his bronze medallion in 2011, he commenced patrolling: then as a Masters Competitor took part in surf sports, winning the trophy, Most Improved Competitor.

Working on the beach, he became a Patrol Vice Captain and a year later was elevated to the position of Patrol Captain: Rogers’ career was well under way. Following this he was recruited into the training team as a bronze trainer and assessor and also into the IRB team where he performed the same duties.

His next move was when he was appointed to the Lifesaving committee taking up the duties and responsibilities as a Club Supervisor and Patrol Captains Representative to committee.

In 2015 as a Wave Runner Operator, he became a member of the Operations Support Team and Surfcom Radio Operator.

Also, at that time he was awarded the Dave Higgins Club Person of the Year Trophy. As a re-

On patrol sult of his experience, he was elected Club Vice captain then finally in 2016, was nominated and elected to the office of Captain of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club.

His devotion to the club and performance of his many duties and responsibilities, was, by this appointment fully recognised by his peers.

“I did not seek these roles,” said Roger, “but I just seem to land in them for some reason or other. I don’t do politics (in the club) so I think my leadership style has bought a degree of stability, to the Lifesaving Club over the past few years. I enjoy volunteering my time and serving the community: it’s also about learning new skills and being able to use these skills in a professional manner: don’t make a fuss, just get on with the job and develop a pathway which others members can easily follow.

A very pleasing factor is, that we now have a strong Waverunner (surf rescue skis) contingent in the club thanks to people like Steve Crisp and David James, and also for the first time we have three Surfcom Operators. I am very proud to ware the Red and Yellow, and especially wear the Maroon and White colours of our club: I hope that I have influenced a change in the way in which our members approach their patrolling obligations and responsibilities.”

Too many times in lifesaving, devoted, dedicated members such as Noosa’s club captain Roger Aspinall, go virtually unknown, whereas the surf sports gets the publicity.

Therefore, the community should always be reminded that our core business is still and always will be lifesaving.

It is a sad but brutal fact of life, and let’s face it, that in the last two seasons two lifesavers were killed while in performance of their patrolling duties and another (a female member) suffered a minor shark attack. Let’s not get complacent; after-all the Lifesaving movement is now, and always will be, a very important part of that industry we call TOURISM.

Noosa club captain Roger Aspinall.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Swell at last for Easter It wasn’t the prettiest swell we’ve seen on the Noosa points, and the proximity of the deep low to the coast made it a rather damp one.

But the Easter Sunday pulse certainly got the locals going, even if we did have to share it with about a million Easter tourists.

And it was no place for old men. After enjoying some fun sessions on the buildup days, your columnist took off on what looked like a good one Sunday morning, watched the bottom drop out and retired hurt with a neck wrenched so badly I can barely turn my head.

Noosa Mal Club senior Keith Crocker fared even worse, coming undone on a grinding barrel and creasing a beautiful nine-eight log. (At least he can still swivel his head!)

As predicted by the USC researchers in Noosa Today last week, a decent-sized east swell would rearrange the sand at First Point, and as I write, after two days of substantial push, that is what appeared to be happening. By the time you read this, we’ll have a pretty good idea whether we’ve got our pristine point back, but I was pleasantly surprised to see even smaller sets run through to the beach along the rocks.

Apparently we are also moving out of the La Nina phase and can expect a decent run of swells to continue through the rest of autumn, which augers well for the delayed May Noosa Festival of Surfing. Fingers crossed.

The ubiquitous surf snapper Fenna de King wasn’t about to let a bit of torrential rain get in the way of her coverage of the long-awaited Easter swell, so rather than me rabbit on about it, let’s wallow in some tasty FDK images of the Boiling Pot doing its thing. Photos were delivered in a hurry at the end of another hard day at the beach office, so I can’t tell you who’s who, other than that might be Hayden Cervi pig-dogging past the rock.

Meanwhile, down the road…

The Windansea Club’s annual Ma and Pa Bendall Classic, a great institution since 1974, was on again, off again, on again as the Bureau finessed its high seas forecast, but it ran at Moffat’s over a highly eventful weekend, with the Open Men’s final, won by Curtis Ewing, catch-

ing the peak of the swell with some massive sets.

The wild conditions presented some challenges for junior competitors, but some of Noosa’s young guns showed their stuff with stand-out performances. Noosa Boardriders’ Coco Cairns was the pick of the bunch, claiming second place in the junior girls division and a third in the Open Women’s, clocking up an 8.83, the best score of the day, on the first day of competition.

Ben Lorentson also surfed well for Noosa, taking a fourth in the junior boys, just a week or so since older sister Gia won the Open Women’s division at the Queensland Surf Festival at Coolum. Mum, Councillor Amelia Lorentson, must be bursting with pride. Mind you, Amelia is no slouch herself, frequently hitting the dawn patrol on the points or beaches.

Nippers star in surf safety video The season might be over, but there was still work to be done for Woogie Marsh’s Noosa Nippers squad who graciously shared their knowledge of the beach for a surf safety video.

Tewantin’s Panga Productions filmed the short video for Noosa World Surfing Reserve late last month to complete a surf safety and etiquette series aimed at young school children.

The Noosa Environmental Education Hub is helping introduce it to the Australian Curriculum.

Surf Code – Feel The Stoke uses young presenters to carry the message of how to surf safely in crowded conditions to surfers of all ages, but the role of the Nippers was to explain the basic rules of engagement for new surfers in an introductory episode called “Meet The Beach”.

In it, Nippers Gus Anderssen, Rex McIntyre, Kiani Baker and Jess Porter explain how to identify and avoid rips and currents, what to do if you get caught in one, how to signal for help and what to do if stung by a bluebottle or jellyfish. They also drive home the message about respecting the beach by leaving it as you found it.

The Surf Code video series will be launched during the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Close finish for Gorillas

By Julian Pitts On a pretty miserable windy and dreary Easter Saturday the Rococo Noosa Tigers went down to Wilston Grange by the shortest of margins, one point. In front of a truly bumper crowd with just over two thousand people signing in through the Weyba Road front gates, the Noosa boys came from being 25 points down at the 21-minute mark of the final quarter to nearly snatching what would have been a memorable victory. However, it wasn’t to be and to be honest the better team ended up winning on the day. After a frenetic opening stanza which included much off the ball niggle and some fiercely contested footy which saw both teams square at the first break, it was all the gorillas over the next two and a half quarters whose attack on the footy, cleaner ball use and discipline was superior to that of the Tigers. In fact, discipline played a huge part in the contest with the home side giving away 10 fifty metre penalties and had two free kicks reversed also.

Something Tigers coach Adam Bovalino was pretty quick to point out at games end, “I’m pretty guttered really, our discipline was lousy the entire game and we really went away from our structures and the brand of footy we have been working on. I mean you can’t turn up and play ten minutes of footy at this level and expect to win. Grange deserve their win and were better for far longer than us today. Just really disappointed” Bovalino said.

On the other side of the fence Gorillas coach Brent Moloney (ex-Noosa player) was relieved and extremely happy to get over the line saying “gee they were coming at us late.

I’m just relieved really. We were down to no

Noosa Tigers went down to Wilston Grange by the slimmest of margins.

Picture: CRAIG SLANEY PHOTOGRAPHY rotations and were running on the spot there late but our efforts in those middle two quarters were super. We had 12 boys under the age of 21 out there today and these sort of games in front of big crowds will be invaluable for them.

As usual at Noosa just a great atmosphere and really happy with the win”.

Plenty of good contributors for both sides with back flanker Cory Lobb the best 4 quarter performer for the Tigers. His rebounding and clean ball handling a feature when many

of his teammates were fumbling around him.

Riley Buntain was outstanding in the first half being just a Rock of Gibraltar in the last line of defence. Whilst he did have some moments he might like to forget late, his attack on the ball and ability to continually take the game on was great to watch. Ex-Echuca lad Riley Richard battled manfully in the ruck for most of the day whilst skipper Aaron Laskey never gave up.

Young Mav Pettigrove had flashes of brilliance throughout the day whilst star on baller Brett

Meredith was instrumental in the final quarter comeback with 13 touches. Up forward Aaron Wilson looked a real focal point for the Tigers finishing the day with 4 majors.

The Tiger reserves were thrashed in their first QAFL hit out with a lot of very new faces running around. I know Geoff Ogden and his entourage will work hard and improve his troops going forward in what should be an enjoyable year. Tommy Maher was the clear standout for the Tigers amassing over 30 possessions and certainly putting his hand up for senior selection.

The Shane Dawes coached Coolum-Noosa colts were outstanding in their 10-point win over the highly fancied Grange outfit. Young Cooper Langdon (son of Tiger champion Reece) was brilliant for the victors as was another Cooper in Cooper Airey-Bamback who bagged 3 goals and was super dangerous the entire day.

The Senior men’s group have a bye this weekend before being back at Rococo Oval to face state league heavyweights Palm Beach.

Our women have a practise match at home this Saturday from midday against North Shore!

A massive thank you to all involved in putting on the Easter Saturday game which I really hope continues as the atmosphere was amazing!

For all other news regarding the Tigers just google ‘Noosa Tigers’ and head to our website or Facebook pages!

We might have been done but by no means were we disgraced!

Go Tigers!

PROPERTY NEWS

PLENTY IN THE EASTER BASKET PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THERE has been a strong response to the Noosa property market over Easter - and some interesting new listings.

Adrian Reed of Reed & Co has reported business for the agency in the last week of March was in excess of $10m, and $32.7m for the month.

This is double the same time last year.

A four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront house with pool at 121 Shorehaven Dr, Noosa Waters, sold prior to auction late last month after multiple offers from both local and interstate.

“It was an impatient market,’’ Adrian said, “and we needed to acknowledge that.

“The property offered northerly aspect, long water view and a single-level home.

“We were obliged to honour the market.’’

The property sold for $3.150m to a buyer with existing property in Noosa and looking to upgrade.

A two-bedroom, two-plus bathroom, top-floor apartment with two-car garaging at 10/169 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, goes to auction Sunday, April 11, at midday. 233047 apartment with ocean views at 1/39 Tingira Cres, Sunrise Beach, sold at auction in the same week, well in excess of the reserve price.

“It was a great campaign,’’ Adrian said, “with 65-plus groups through.

“Interest was mainly from Sydney and Melbourne.

“There were three registered bidders, spirited bidding and selling well in excess of the reserve of $3.2m.

“The property previously sold in 2019 for $2.6m and we achieved $3.710m.’’

The property went to Sydney buyers.

A designer four-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront house with pool and jetty at 22 Seahorse Pl, Noosa Waters, has been placed on the market after auction as all interested parties were conditional buyers.

The agency is negotiating on the property at $4.9m.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront townhouse at 1/17 Sunseeker Close, Noosaville, has sold after one week on the market.

This was after a group zoom inspection that resulted in an offer and the property contracted on the Saturday.

“The on-line inspection trend hasn’t stopped,’’ Adrian said. “It’s a matter of how you handle people through technology.

“The client viewed and bought a property virtually ... it was the first time he had done this and was very happy with the process.

“It was the only renovated waterfront townhouse on Sunseeker Close with a private pool, private jetty and ground floor master bedroom.’’

The property was listed at a price guide of $2m.

RIVERSIDE HIDEAWAY It is something that needs to be seen to be believed.

Lisa McKenzie of Century 21 Conolly Hay said the two-bedroom, two-plus bathroom, top-floor apartment 10 Como Resort, 169 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, was attracting a good response in the lead-up to the Sunday, April 11, auction at midday.

“It has a beautiful feel,’’ Lisa said. “The standard of the renovation by Damien Davidson is incredible.

“It’s a house alternative ... it’s been designed that way. It has a nice, wide, open, homely feel.

“Being on the side street gives privacy yet it comes with a river view.

“No expense has been spared in the renovation, they did it all properly.

“It gives a luxury feel.’’

Lisa has had good responses to open homes and received pre-auction offers.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront apartment at 1/18 Munna Cres, Noosaville, is to go to auction Sunday, April 11, at 10am. 233047 “It’s been an absolute pleasure to market this one.’’

The 220sq m apartment enjoys lift access, timber flooring and a new floorplan that offers two bedroom suites, one with a private study area and both with ensuite bathrooms as well as access to a deck.

The third bedroom has been transformed into a high-tech home theatre with full surround sound. A feature hidden cavity sliding mirrored timber panel door becomes part of the lounge room wall.

A fully-integrated Cbus home automation system includes off-site control of electrics and closed circuit video cameras.

BREATH OF SUNSHINE It’s a blank canvas ... something that will appeal to an experienced builder or a firsttime renovator.

A three-bedroom, one-bathroom 1980s house on 506sq m at 11 Depper St, Sunshine Beach, is set for auction on Saturday, April 10, at 10am.

And Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the campaign had attracted interest from far and wide.

While time has passed by the muchloved ’80s beach house, it was a wide, leafy street and surrounded by muchadmired residences.

“It’s a fantastic site, whether to do something with sooner or later.

“There is a tenant in place til August, so it gives time to decide by the time it settles.

“It could be a facelift, very simple, or a dream home - the land value is uppermost.

“For anyone trying to invest in Sunshine, it makes a lot of sense.’’

WIDE VIEWS, WIDE APPEAL It’s a beautiful waterfront townhouse at the end of the building with aspect to the Noosa North Shore and the rivermouth.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 1/18 Munna Cres, Noosaville, is to go to auction Sunday, April 11, at 10am.

Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate said he and colleague Luke Chen had been getting good, strong inquiry on the property that offered wide water views and a park next door.

“It’s an enviable location,’’ Nic said. “It’s in a complex of only six townhouses.

“When you are sitting on the terrace and looking to the water, the world is your oyster.

“Comparable views from a house would be in the double digits but none are available.

“There have been consistently good numbers through open homes midweek, Saturdays and private inspections in between. It’s really encouraging.

“Interest has been a real mixed bag ... live in, holiday let or weekender.

“Melbourne buyers, Sydney ... it just shows Noosa is in demand from a lot of different states.’’

Interestingly, people coming in have been looking for the greater family, Nic said.

“Three generations can hold this property for a long time.

“We have always had strong interest from the Brisbane market. About 70 per cent of our sales have been to Queenslanders.

“Victoria is another strong market, together with Sydney-siders and expats.’’

PLENTY OF OPTIONS It’s the only one available in the street which is symptomatic of stock levels at the moment.

Tim McSweeney at Tom Offermann Real Estate said 3 Creek Rd, Noosaville, had attracted attention from everywhere ahead of its auction on Saturday, April 10, at 11am.

· A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, house with pool at 12 Wyuna Dve, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Saturday, April 10, at midday. has been off the market for 34 years.

“This one has options,’’ Tim said, “... broad market appeal in all residential sectors.

“Investors, renovators, first home buyers or those looking to rebuild.

“It’s one of the biggest park-front blocks in the street.

“The property has attracted interstate inquiry obviously, as Noosa is a hot spot.

“But locals as well at all levels.’’

Leafy gardens frame the single-storey brick and tile home, with Weyba Creek about 50 metres from the rear boundary gate.

MAKING MYLES THEIR OWN At 35 Myles St, Tewantin, with Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate for the auction of this three-bedroom, twobathroom house with pool not far from Noosa River.

A lot of inquiries so far and Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate expected good registrations and bidding at the renovated three-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 34 Myles St, Tewantin, on Saturday ... and he got it.

With Justin Voss is calling the action, bidding started at $800,000.

Then, after to-ing and fro-ing with phone bidders and from the floor, it was announced on the market at $1.1m and sold to Darwin buyers.

Earlier in the week, Laguna’s Chrissie Baker took the six-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 9 Voyagers Pl, Sunrise Beach, to auction at midday.

Justin Voss called it in the mid-level living area, and with bidding from $1m it got to $1.4m “Are you done, are you done, are you done?’’ the auctioneer asked.

That saw a bid of $1.425m from the front of the room, then $1.450 from the back.

“You’re in front. You are looking at the gold medal ... I won’t be giving silver or bronze today.

“Hands in the air ... don’t cross them sir or you madam.’’

At $1.5m the property was announced to be on the market and selling.

That brought $1.515 from in front.

“One five, one five ... it’s easy to call,’’ the auctioneer called.

“One five, one five ... the hammer fall quickly now. Well bid.’’

FRONT OF THE CLASS WITH RIVERSIDE BEACH IF paradise is about exceptional eyecatching views, swaying palms, an idyllic year-round sub-tropical climate, swimming in safe azure waters, lolling on a sun lounge watching kids from the deck almost beside you building sandcastles, it is all here, literally on your doorstep. And there’s more.

How about being surrounded by innumerable natural assets, looking out to pleasure craft and tooting ferries as they play the main stretch of the Noosa River, loading picnic gear into a hired BBQ pontoon boat from the resort’s own jetty, or if fishing is more your speed pull the tinnie onto the foreshore, tie it to the mooring ring on the boardwalk in front of the townhouse, whilst you pack the bait and tackle for a swell day out.

From the pathway to the front entrance of the townhouse, admire the resident’s only pool, gardens, and gazebo. Inside, coastal cool-hued floor tiles, a captivating contemporary fit-out, matching furnishings and the seamless flow from the generous natural light-saturated living spaces to north-facing outdoors, spell year-round holidays.

Whether sundowners, alfresco lunches or inviting friends for dinner, the L-shaped kitchen with island bench, stone-topped cabinetry, and sea-blue glass splashbacks, has every accoutrement you need, including the latest Miele appliances.

Similarly, the laundry, which is next door to a powder room.

Timber-tread stairs with marine-ply balustrading, open out to carpeted bedrooms. Both have built-in robes and a chic ensuite/bathroom with frameless showers and marble vanity splashbacks.

The king master has a balcony with splendid views of the Noosa River meandering the Noosa Sound waterways, the twin bedroom has a verdant outlook, and a loft could be a teen’s ‘hideaway’.

“Life doesn’t get much better, especially when you consider the location,” effuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann, who

has slated the townhouse for auction on Saturday, 24 April, 2021. “Turn left at the Munna Point Bridge to Quamby Place, with nationally known restaurants; turn right to Noosa Village Shopping Centre, also Gympie Terrace’s myriad cafes and boat hire places; the Keyser Island Conservation Park is 6-minutes away; and Noosa Main Beach is a 7-minute drive.

“With solid bookings year-round, this popular complex of nine townhouses is much-coveted, also a sage investment opportunity.”

EYE-POPPING VIEWS LOVE to live 2-minutes to toes-in-the sand revelling in the perfect lifestyle? How about waking every morning to a brilliant sunrise, grabbing the kids, surfboards and dog, and being greeted by waves breaking onshore?

Such is the good life at this duplex on The Esplanade, which has an ultracontemporary facade, and tucks into the corner block located at the northern end of Peregian Beach.

Eye-popping views across the Coral Sea, stretching from the Sunshine Beach headland to Point Cartwright, can be seen from the from the rooftop terrace to the living areas and every living space inbetween, also the wrap-around balcony and undercover terraces, of the luxe whole floor apartment. Making a statement is the front entrance with Pandanus in the sub-tropical gardens, a natural wood-look concrete finish, and a lift in the lobby if you need to get to the underground garages rather than the stairs.

From the front door, eyes are immediately drawn to very generous light-drenched living spaces with Spanish porcelain floor tiles, three gas-lift windows off the dining area, plus wide undercover terraces wrapping the living areas on the north and north-easterly sides. Taking centre stage out front however are those sensational beach and white-water views. Watching kite surfers, hang gliders and migrating whales are also a favourite pastime. Entertaining on the terraces is a breeze thanks to an outdoor kitchen and those with a penchant for catching stray rays in a sand-free environment will adore being stretched out on a sun lounge by your own private pool.

Similarly entertaining indoors is easy in the L-shaped kitchen with stone-topped benches and island/breakfast bar, plus the full range of the latest Miele appliances.

The king master suite has a balcony in-tune with the views, a huge walk-through wardrobe, also an ensuite with double shower, a bidet and outdoor spa bath where you can also drink in those neverending views.

In the west wing are two bedrooms with built-in robes and access to the rear dogfriendly terrace and potential vegetable/ herb garden. There is also a bathroom and a laundry.

“This is without a doubt the perfect lifestyle for a family or investor looking for somewhere to lock up and leave,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Tracy Russell and Michael McComas, who are taking the property to auction on Saturday 10 April 2021.

“Other attributes include being a 15-minute walk via the beach or Esplanade to Peregian Beach Village and patrolled beach at your doorstep. Only 10kms to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach.” ●
