Rescue tragedy By Margaret Maccoll The brave action of three young surfers saved the life of one person caught in a rip at Peregian Beach on Sunday morning but sadly a 67-year-old man could not be saved. Sunshine Coast Surf Lifesaving duty officer Sebastian de Paula said the man who was at the beach with his carer had been swimming about 200m north of the flagged area about 10.30am. Coolum police acting sergeant Craig Hughes said the man got caught in a rip. “The carer went to assist him and also got caught in the rip,” he said. “Three juvenile surfers went to assist and saved the carer. Then they ran to alert surf lifesavers.” The lifeguard said the man had been face down in the water and was unconscious when lifesavers pulled him from the surf and tried to resuscitate him.

Tragically the man could not be revived. Sebastian said the weather had been good at the time but the surf was unstable with many rips. “It’s very sad for the family,” he said. Acting Sgt Hughes praised the three young surfers for their lifesaving action and said the tragedy showed how important it was to swim between the flags. Police cordoned off the beach while investigations on the man’s death were conducted. A report is being prepared by the coroner. Peregian Beach was very busy on Sunday with fine weather, the Peregian Beach markets and the Village Vibes Festival attracting locals and tourists to the beach and village. As a mark of respect the Ocean Vibes Sounds by the Sea concert was relocated from Peregian Beach Park to the village square and a Peregian Family and Friends meeting to have been held at the surf club was cancelled.

Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was recently mistaken for an Uber driver by a bunch of tipsy tourists in Noosa. In a Twitter story told by his daughter Jessica Rudd, she explained how the politician ended up giving a lift to four young visitors from Melbourne. “Dad just dropped us off at a restaurant in Noosa then went to find a park because it’s raining,“ Jessica said. “Then I thought I saw some people pile into his car, told myself it wasn’t, must be a similar looking Uber.“ But it wasn’t a similar looking car, unbe-

knownst to the people jumping in for a lift, it was Kevin Rudd’s. “The lovely but tipsy crew had been at the restaurant since lunch and asked for a lift to Hastings Street,“ Jessica said. “Said they’d pay. He said he’d give them a lift. Took them half the ride to discover who their driver was.“ Kevin confirmed his new role giving free lifts to Hasting’s Street as he said, “Guilty as charged.“ “Four young Melburnians getting drenched in a Queensland subtropical downpour at Noosa last night with no Uber in sight... So what’s a man to do? Good kids. I hope they’ve had some fun up here.”

If you haven’t been to the Village Vibe Festival at Peregian Village then you’ve really missed a fantastic event. Its two week program which continues to this Sunday has been packed with activities, events and entertainment for adults and children. The festival has included the local businesses in various ways highlighting all the village has to offer in the way of fashion, food, wellness practitioners, books and art. It has expanded its reach to include the nearby community garden and it has hosted many local performers. It wasn’t the only festival last weekend with the Body Art Festival at Cooroy drawing crowds to its unique artistic expression and the camping and caravanning expo at nearby Nambour attracting large crowds showing the surge of interest from holiday makers deciding to see Australia instead of seeing the world. Hopefully conditions will allow for the mask-wearing COVID restrictions to again be lifted allowing people the freedom we so enjoy.The progression of the COVID immunisation program continues to be a moving feast. The latest information from the Federal Government is that the Pfizer vaccine with a 90 per cent effectiveness is preferred to the AstraZeneca vaccine with its 80 per cent effectiveness and side effect concerns. The Federal Department of Health reports one in every 250,000 people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine in Europe was diagnosed with rare blood clots and only one person in Australia. What has been your experience?

Temporary walkway stays By Margaret Maccoll Only a casting vote from Noosa depity mayor Frank Wilkie decided the temporary Park Road walkway will become permanent. With voting three in favour and three against it, Cr Wilkie used his casting vote to protect the future of the walkway.. There was robust debate amongst the councillors over the future of the pathway that was constructed to provide pedestrian access to the Noosa National Park only during construction of the Park Road Boardwalk between April and November 2018. Council heard that the cost of upgrading the temporary path to meet footpath standards would be about $100,000 and the cost of removal about $130,000. A council officer told the meeting while the path was only meant to be temporary council had received three submissions from residents to retain the path and one submission to remove it. The officer said the pathway could again provide pedestrian access if repairs were required on the boardwalk, residents would be disappointed if it was demolished and it would have been remiss of him not to bring residents’ requests to council attention. “It was only planned as temporary. Is it perfect, no. It’s an opportunity to retain it. It’s a higher cost not to keep it,“ he said. However Cr Tom Wegener said the pathway would only provide alternative pedestrian access for a short area of the boardwalk if repairs were required and would otherwise service

only four properties (including 11 strata title properties). He said it also posed a safety issue for pedestrians who would need to cross the road near the entrance at the national park to access it. “$100,000 is a lot of money. The public would want it to be used for the public, not for these four properties,“ he said. Cr Wegener said he supported an alternate option to block the path to permanent use but retain the structure for future temporary use, if required. Cr Karen Finkel described council’s action on the footpath as “ad hoc“, saying the footpath’s removal would have been costed in the original boardwalk project, which the officer admitted it had been. She said plans for a permanent footpath on the site should follow the process required of any other project in the shire. Cr Frank Wilkie said it made good sense to leave the footpath that had been used by “hundreds of people“. Mayor Clare Stewart said she had recently walked the footpath, had found no one else on it and that it did not provide disability access. Cr Brian Stockwell described the footpath as a “valuable asset“. We can retain it, upgrade it for less than the cost to take it down, he said. A final decision on the footpath was to be made at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

“Noosa’s natural beauty is at the heart of it all - it’s why our region is globally recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a World Surfing Reserve, is home to one of only two everglades systems on Earth, and has a World Heritage-listed wonder on the doorstep. A two minute video showcases this and I encourage everyone who loves Noosa to vote,” Ms Anderson said. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said Noosa has all the attributes to be a clear cut winner. “It would be such a fitting reward for our community,“ she said. “We have such a strong commitment to tourism and to delivering outstanding visitor experiences, whether it be at one of our superb beaches, in the picturesque hinterland or on our waterways.“ “I encourage everyone to take the time to make their vote count.“ The awards featured 37 finalist and the public are invited to vote for their favourite from 11-26 April. Votes have the chance to win a $2000 Apollo Motorhome travel package just by voting. To vote visit www.qtic.com.au and find Top Tourism Award - Top Town Voting.

“Snapshot” finally here By Phil Jarratt Following Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s surprise announcement just over a year ago that her government would draft legislation to protect Queensland’s two World Surfing Reserves in Noosa and on the Gold Coast, a “snapshot” of the results of community consultation was finally made public last week. During the eight-week consultation period last spring, 86 responses were received, including 72 online survey responses and 14 written submissions. Of these 43 percent provided feedback on the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, which was dedicated as the 10th World Surfing Reserve in February 2020. The snapshot report noted: “Overwhelmingly, consultation revealed a desire to protect Queensland’s World Surfing Reserves from environmental damage, future development and increased population, as well as preserve the cultural values of both First Nations peoples and surfing heritage. Although there were varying opinions on the best way to do this, results largely indicate a strong desire to protect these areas through government legislation.” Key themes emerging from the consultation were preserving the quality of the waves, the environmental and natural characteristics, and the First Nations and surfing culture of the reserves. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Gold Coast respondents “stressed the importance of maintaining and enhancing vegetation and trees on the foreshore, and expressed concern about the human impact to wildlife and local ecosystems”, while Noosa respondents “noted the human impact on the environment; raising concerns about the impact of tourism, events, parties, thrill boat operators and jet skis, and expressed a desire to see this impact limited”.

The Gold Coast World Surfing Reserve stretches from Burleigh Heads south to the NSW border, taking in all the region’s world class point breaks. Since its dedication in 2015, the reserve’s stewardship council has often found itself at loggerheads with the Gold Coast City Council, which likes to term the World Surfing Reserve status as “ceremonial” only, while it leaves its options open for coastal development. Noosa’s much smaller reserve, which takes in five point breaks and four beach breaks between North Sunshine Beach and the Noosa River mouth, has by contrast enjoyed a close working relationship with Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa as its stewardship council strives to create a safer, happier and more sustainable surfing environment in a crowded surf zone. The NWSR is currently working with Council during a series of roundtable meetings on self-managing surf safety issues. The consultation found that the majority of respondents for Noosa were satisfied with the existing management of the Noosa World Surfing Reserve. Responses were mixed when asked to consider the establishment of a statewide oversight mechanism. Although many responders agreed with the idea, some believed this mechanism should not replace local stewardship committees or restrict existing local government powers. The release of legislative options is expected to follow later this year after further stakeholder meetings.

Youngcare facility on track in Noosa after approval By Margaret Maccoll The benefits of providing young and middleaged people with high disability support in a beautiful location in Noosa Heads, adjacent the national park, far outweigh the costs, Noosa councillors decided at their General Committee meeting on Monday. The application for a Youngcare development at at 32 Viewland Drive, Noosa Heads, from Deluca Charitable Foundation Limited aims to provide 20 beds to accommodate people with disabilities aged from 18 to 65 years and two onsite carers in the only facility of its type in the shire. “There are no other facilities in Noosa for young people with high care needs,“ council heard at the meeting.

Cr Amelia Lorentson acknowledged concerns raised by residents relating to the development, including land clearing, traffic and parking, noise and the suitability of the site. She said she was satisfied the development would be suitable for residents, that the vegetation was not of biodiversity significance and the applicant wanted to retain as many trees as possible, that noise would be minimal with deliveries confined to daytime hours and parking could be accommodated with little on-street use.Council called for an investigation to be undertaken into traffic issues in Viewland Drive. Ms Lorentson said the project highlighted the residential crisis for young and middle

aged people with high needs. “There are 100,000 people left behind in inappropriate housing in aged care, hospital beds and rehabilitation centres,“ she said. “These are not the place for these people who are not sick, they have broken bodies. These are not the places to restore dignity, not a place to call home.“ Cr Brian Stockwell said it was important to acknowledge the facility as a key new asset for the shire. If approved at its Ordinary meeting on Thursday evening, the proposed Residential Care Facility be accommodated within a lease of land to be secured by the applicant from the land owner. The proposal comprises 4 separate build-

ings made up of 1 x 2 bedroom, respite care unit in a single storey building, 1 x single storey 2-bedroom villa, 1 x 3 bedroom, single storey share house including a fourth room for on-site overnight accommodation for a care worker and 1 x 2 storey building accommodating 5x 2 bedroom units and 1 x 1 bedroom unit and a further 1 bedroom for onsite overnight accommodation for a second carer. Each accommodation unit is to be constructed to suit the needs of disabled adults with high care needs including emergency management measures with back-up power management, emergency lighting, protected paths of travel and emergency fire equipment and services and seven car spaces including an ambulance bay.

We’re calling on people to honour our unsung heroes and nominate those who volunteer or give their time, expertise or services to the Noosa electorate for an award. This week the award partners came together for a sneak peak at the medallions to be presented to each of the award recipients. “Queensland Day is an opportunity to celebrate our culture, heritage, people and unique identity. We also get to honour our inspiring Queensland role models who encourage us all to do better and be better. So many of our Noosa locals do this by working for the benefit of others and for our collective community,” Sandy said. With so many worthy recipients in our community we are anticipating a great response but we urge people to nominate soon with the deadline looming on Monday 17 May. The awards are open to first-time recipients who have volunteered for a minimum of two years with a limit of two nominations per organisation and whose community work is within the Noosa electorate. Every completed nomination recognised will see the recipient presented a personalised Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award Medallion and a certificate of recognition at a Queensland Day Ceremony on Thursday 3 June at The J Theatre, Noosaville. Bendigo Bank’s, Trish Radge said continuing the partnership of the awards continues to be a great fit. “Like our other award partner, Noosa Today, our point of difference is our connection with our community. We’re proud of the fact that our Noosa branches work so closely with so many of these groups. Our branches exist so we can return profits right here, where we live. It’s great being part of this annual Queensland Day tradition and honouring our local treasures,” Trish said.

Sunrise Beach Shopping Centre gains anchor tenant After sitting vacant since Foodworks convenience store vacated the premises in 2018 the Sunrise Beach Shopping Centre has gained a new anchor tenant in Tanglewood Company. There was unanimous approval from councillors at their General Committee Meeting on Monday when officers put forward a proposed five-year lease of Shop 8 to Tanglewood Company, expected to com-

mence from 1 June. The commercial agreement on the 305sqm premises includes an annual rental fee of $85,400 (excluding GST) with an initial six month rent free period, intended to assist the leasees establishment and fit out costs and the possibility of four 5-year lease extensions. Council heard Council’s managing agent for the centre, Colliers International, had re-

ceived four or five rental applications on the site over the past 12-18 months but they had all fallen away. Tanglewood Company are proposing to lease Shop 8 for both wholesale and retail food production, grocery, organic and whole foods purposes in a style similar to their business at Belmondos Organic Market in Noosaville. Cr Amelia Lorentson said given their suc-

cess at Belmondos, Cafe Le Monde and El Capitano she was comfortable the operator would continue their success at Sunrise. Cr Joe Jurisevic said the new store would add colour and vibrancy to the shopping centre and Cr Brian Stockwell said they would complement and benefit it, building more foot traffic to the area. The decision on the rental was to be ratified at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Alicia models Fran Catford’s winning time travel design.

The beauty of body art By Margaret Maccoll Science and art collided at Cooroy over the weekend when body artist Fran Catford drew inspiration from Einstein’s theory of relativity for her winning air brush art on model Alicia at the Australian Body Art Festival. Body artists explored time travel in a myriad of ways through art and clothing at the festival held over the weekend and enjoyed by many. Fran Catford used a mix of images to relay her message of technology through the ages from Einstein’s portrait and images from ancient Egypt to depictions of black holes and scenes of futuristic cities. Fran said the images of space and black holes added a fourth dimension to her three dimensional art as it told a story of the need for the wise use of technology to obtain a better future. Lorien Dalcastella also won both the first prize and people’s choice award for her wearable art, worn by model Oliver. Her outfit showed the results of a time trav-

eller spirit travelling through time and collecting rubbish along the journey, she said. For her take on time travel body artist Corina Wagner chose a moment in time, the 70s, in her aim to “embody psychedelic art“ on firsttime model and friend, Lauren. Noosa Councillor and acclaimed surfboard shaper Tom Wegener was on hand to judge the painted surfboard competition, adding another dimension to the event by telling the stories behind the surfboard as well as the story behind the art. Billy Baxter claimed both first prize and the people’s choice award for her design titled, Enjoy the Ride, which Cr Wegener informed the audience graced a Kelly Slater design which was not long lasting but had helped hime become world champion. Cr Wegener described the Body Art Festival as a display of a modern trend of ephemeral art which is here for a moment, tells a story, and then is gone and was supported by an army of volunteers and sponsors.

Lauren shows off Corina Wagner’s 70s themed art. “It is like most of life events, like the first sip of coffee in the morning. Here for a moment, hugely enjoyed, then gone,“ he said. “The body art is beauty on beauty, ideal on ideal, philosophic idea on a moment in time which will never be the same again. It may be the ultimate expression of ephemeral art, or what is ephemeral. “it is a new, growing, deeply philosophical

Koala vaccine trial begins in Noosa Noosa koalas will be involved in a landmark koala Chlamydia vaccination trial led by University of the Sunshine Coast professor Peter Timms and supported by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation. The trial which is scheduled to commence June or July recently received $98,000 in funding through the Queensland Government Community Sustainability Action (CSA) grants, to be used for vaccine production, koala tracking platforms and wildlife hospital support to deliver the vaccines to koalas. “Timing is subject to things like permits and vaccine production. We have received Animal Research Ethics approval from USC Australia and have engaged with CSIRO Manufacturing in Melbourne for the large-scale production of the vaccine,” said Prof Timms. “This is a very exciting project. After more than a decade of research, we are now ready to trial the vaccine in the real world.” Professor Timms said the USC Australia trial would be the largest of its kind, with up to 500 koalas being involved over a year-long period. The initial trial would take place at Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, with koalas coming into the trial from across South-East Queensland, including the Sunshine Coast and Noosa. He said key to the trial’s success will be a number of groups working together. Koala rescue groups will be directly involved in infield monitoring of the koalas once they are released back to their location after being treated and vaccinated. “Our goal is to determine if the vaccine can protect animals that are released from care by reducing the number of koalas that subse-

Yet another near-shore landslide has appeared at Inskip Point, in the location where barges were loading vehicles to go to Fraser Island. Wayne Dean took the photo as he watched the landslide appear just after cars and passengers passed through the area near Rainbow Beach. The instability event has occurred over decades, with the most memorable landslide taking large and expensive items and swallowing them into the ocean. On 26 September 2015, a nearshore landslide occurred within the north facing beachfront at Inskip Point, eventually regressing to a camping ground and engulfing a four-wheel drive vehicle, a caravan and a camper trailer. The nearshore landslide occurred late in the evening and was in the form of a retrogressive which gradually increased in size over several hours, eventually forming an arc shaped scarp over 200m wide. To avoid this mishap from reoccurring, Queensland’s Parks and Wildlife Service rangers are currently monitoring the area, with visitors being advised to stay away from the impacted site.

Big walk is over

Armed person impersonates police Sunshine Coast detectives have charged a 36-year-old woman with multiple offences after responding to a report of a robbery at a Maroochydore pharmacy on April 8. Police will allege around 12.15pm, a woman entered the Denna Street business wearing an imitation police uniform and armour, armed with a replica handgun and a knife. The woman allegedly made threats to arrest staff before leaving the pharmacy with a number of controlled substances. A short time later, police observed the woman driving a silver wagon along Denna Street. She was stopped by police and arrested on the corner of Denna Street and Bradman Avenue before being taken to the Maroochydore watchhouse. The Maroochydore woman was charged with one count each of carrying an exposed weapon in a public place, possession of a knife in a public place, possessing a restricted item, namely an extendable baton and handcuffs, personating a public officer and stealing. She is due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on May 21.

By Margaret Maccoll Brothers Joe and Vince Kelly ended their nine day Really Big Walk to raise awareness of Parkinsons disease and more than $53,000 in funds for Parkinson’s Queensland at Coolum at noon last Sunday, on World Parkinson’s disease Day. Greenslopes MP Joe Kelly said with their mother a Parkinson’s disease sufferer and their father having died from complications from Parkinson’s disease as well as fundraising having been difficult for Parkinson’s Queensland during the COVID year the brothers decided to embark on the Really Big Walk. The plan was to walk from Joe’s electorate in Brisbane to their mother’s Coolum nursing home but the COVID-lockdown impacted those plans and they instead ended their walk at Stumer’s Creek, Coolum, contacting their mother by phone. The brothers’ five siblings each played a support role in the challenge. “It was long,” Joe said of the walk. “There were five days of rain and four days of absolutely beautiful weather.” For Vince it was a way to begin retirement after a 35 year career in the police force. Along their journey as they battled the physical challenge they were buoyed by the generosity of people who shared their own Parkinson experiences. “Every day people had a story to tell about their loved one with Parkinsons,” Joe said. “An old bloke handed me $50 to support the cause,” Vincent said. “We were overwhelmed by peoples’ generosity. It was a beautiful part of the country and we met so many people with Parkinsons along the way. “We thought maybe we’d raise $5000 so this was just extraordinary.” Parkinsons Queensland chair Professor George Mellick praised the efforts of the brothers, saying the disease that affected 18,000 Queenslanders and 100,000 Australians was

The report of an independent investigation into the Fraser Island bushfires is still under wraps in the office of Emergency Services Minister Mark Ryan, despite being presented to him more than two weeks ago, a ministerial spokesman has confirmed. The spokesman told Noosa Today Mr Ryan expects to release the report soon, but is waiting on responses from government agencies, particularly the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service. The inquiry followed the revelation in Noosa Today that a large fire fighting aircraft had sat idle on the tarmac in Bundaberg for six weeks while the fire burned out of control, eventually destroying wildlife and vegetation over much of the northern half of the island.

Quarry fight continues The Noosa Hinterland community is keeping up the quarry fight and has now been joined by Federal Senator Larissa Waters. At a recent meeting in Pomona’s Majestic Theatre, Save Noosa Hinterland members received an update from president, Sarah Keating and other committee members, along with a reminder - “the fight against Kin Kin Quarry is far from over“. Noosa Council recently received legal advice from a preeminent Brisbane based Barrister, detailing its legal options over community impacts associated with the Kin Kin Quarry. While the advice identified that the quarry has a legal right to operate, based on the legal advice provided, it proposed that Council

“We’re under no illusion that Council’s court case will solve all our concerns,“ she said. “So we can’t leave it all up to the Council to fight for us. We have to do everything we can as a community, to help Noosa Council’s case ... and ultimately to help ourselves. Our community is determined to fight.“ This week, the Save Noosa Hinterland team were buoyed when Senator Larissa Waters offered to help the hinterland community. Senator Waters was set to hold a public meeting at Black Ant/Kin Kin General Store on Thursday 15 April to hear the community’s concerns first-hand. The community plus Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Councillors, Cordwell’s Resources, Dept of TMR and Police were all invited to attend.

The all new S-Class.

Three years ago Michelle Johnston and her husband decided to invest in the latest in luxury caravans and take to the road. Their children were established in university and work and they needed an adventure. They bought a HQ caravan, converted its back deck into a mobile coffee shop and haven’t looked back. “On the road we’ve made so many friends,“ Michelle said. “We’ve simplified our lives. People ask us if we miss our jobs, the big house and the pool. We no not miss it. It’s taken the stress away.“ The couple have picked up a variety of jobs along the way including managing bush

camps and telling their story to visitors at Caravan and Camping Expos, which is what they were doing at Nambour last weekend. Since COVID19 the couple have noticed a steep increase in caravaners and campers, particularly first timers and the increased demand for caravans has lengthened wait times for the mobile homes to 6-12 months. Bob Carroll, director of Australian Events which organised the South Queensland Caravan, Camping, Fishing and 4x4 Expo, said over the past year bookings had increased 35 per cent for powered campsites and the increase in people going off-grid could only be estimated by the increased interest in equipment such as solar panels.Bob said a recent caravanning report showed the benefits of camping and

Masters back in the swim By Brian Hoepper With three days of intense competition ahead, Noosa Masters swimmers approached their State Championships with a heady mix of excitement, celebration and anxiety. Excited to be celebrating a return to competitive swimming after COVID ravaged the 2020 swim calendar; apprehensive about the long haul back to race fitness in the past months. For most, the anxiety evaporated with the first race, as they realized that their speed and fitness had both returned to surprising levels. Indeed, the three days were punctuated by numerous personal bests (the elusive PBs) by young and old alike. Every heat was contested with the ‘fun, fitness and friendship’ that is the masters’ motto - one which attracts so many to the sport. The drenching rains of the previous weeks had ceased by day one, and the Kawana Aquatic Centre was bathed in brilliant sunshine. (For the Queenslanders, the only ‘dark cloud’ was the ‘invasion’ by the 12-strong Malvern Marlins (Melbourne) who managed to snatch the

Most jubilant were the three ‘virgins’ who, competing at their first state championships, all won gold. Congratulations Liqun Hussey, Trevor Mathews and Dianne Scott-Davies. There were heart-warming

cheers for Noosa’s local hero Clinton Stanley as he returned to competition. Clinton famously still holds seven world records in swimming’s multi-class division. A special claim for the ‘older and fitter’ was staked by the men’s 4X100m Freestyle relay in the 280+ category (average age 70+). They smashed the state record by a whopping 41.88

seconds, taking the title from arch-rivals Miami Masters. Well done Rob Jolly, Brian Hoepper, Trevor Mathews and Ian Tucker. Masters swimming is back, and not a minute too soon! Buoyed by their performances, the Noosa contingent is already training for next month’s Great Barrier Reef Games in Cairns.

A rugby based occupational therapy program designed to help kids become part of a team has recently launched in Noosa. Founded by occupational therapist, Carlien Parahi and Australia’s Rugby Sevens Olympian Jesse Parahi, Sense Rugby gives kids a safe environment where experienced paediatric occupational therapists work with trained rugby players to help kids achieve success. Along with her partners, occupational therapist Michelle Flaherty will be bringing the program to Noosa to help local kids and families. Michelle said the program not only offered benefits for the children involved but also their families participating.

“We are currently servicing our therapy clients but are hoping to make this more accessible for other children and their families on the coast,“ she said. “We work on skill development in regards to motor skills, social skills, and learning how to play a rugby game. “We want them to feel included in a supportive environment, while finding connections with other families. “The initiative gives the kids the opportunity to experience a club environment as we are linking within the community including the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club.“ Michelle said there was a real need for further opportunities on the Sunshine Coast for kids that had been missing out on sport. “Sometimes we have kids who have big

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien is urging drivers to take note of upcoming road closures as part of the $1 billion Cooroy to Curra Section D Bruce Highway upgrade. “From Monday, April 12, a section of Gympie Connection Road will be closed for about three months to facilitate the necessary upgrade of Gympie Connection Road and future interchange bridge,” Mr O’Brien said. “Traffic will be temporarily detoured via Ascot and Tin Can Bay roads, and as this is a high traffic area for access to and from Rainbow Beach, Cooloola Cove and other coastal communities, I would ask all drivers to please be mindful of traffic and the road conditions, and particularly careful around construction workers and machinery.” Heavy machinery will be used to remove the existing road pavement and vegetation to prepare the bridge location areas, and there will also be equipment such as piling rigs and cranes, asphalting trucks and compactors in the area for earthworks, mulching, construction of drainage and construction of a road pavement. Mr O’Brien said traffic management is expected to be in place on Gympie Connection Road between the North Coast Rail line and Ascot Road from mid-April for about 14 months. The Gympie Bypass Section D project will create 576 direct jobs throughout construction, and is expected to be complete by mid-2024, weather permitting.

Marine species fleeing With tropical fish and other marine creatures already shifting south along Australia’s east coast, a new global study involving a USC ecology researcher has confirmed a drop in species numbers in the warming waters near the equator. USC Australia Professor of Global-Change Ecology David Schoeman co-authored the study ‘Global warming is causing a more pronounced dip in marine species richness around the equator’, published this week in journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA). The research, led by the University of Auckland in collaboration with USC, the University of Queensland and the CSIRO, examined data on the distribution of 48,661 marine species since 1955 to assess the impact of climate change on species diversity across latitudes. It also found that diversity either stabilised or dropped at latitudes with an annual average sea surface temperature warmer than 20 degrees Celsius. Professor Schoeman said the dip in biodiversity suggested that rising sea temperatures

were already creating conditions that were too warm for some species to inhabit. “Although the number of benthic species (organisms attached to the seafloor, like corals, oysters and seaweeds) has not actually declined at the equator, the number of freeswimming pelagic species (like fish) dropped significantly between 1965 and 1985, and had dropped further by 2010,” he said. “The decrease in numbers of species at the equator doesn’t mean that sea life is becoming extinct from the planet. Instead, it means extirpation, or local loss of those species. “The ‘missing’ tropical species are likely following their thermal habitat as subtropical waters warm, exactly as we predicted in a paper published in 2016 and as demonstrated in fossil records from 140,000 years ago when global temperatures were as hot as they are now. “This results in a process called tropicalisation, where species with warm-water affinities become more common, and those with coolwater affinities become less common. “This process is visible here on the Sun-

shine Coast as tropical species become more and more common. And along the Australian east coast more generally, this is clearly visible as far south as Sydney (where tropical fish are now regularly appearing on reefs) and even as far south as Merimbula, in particularly warm years.” Professor Schoeman said the planet had in the past 50 years endured only a fraction of the warming expected by 2050. “The implications of our research are serious. Declining numbers of species at the tropics might expand to declining numbers of species in the subtropics,” he said. “Some fish species we commonly see now might become less common here and more common in New South Wales. “Declining numbers of species at the tropics also puts the livelihoods of our tropicalisland neighbours at risk, both in terms of seafood resources and tourism attractions.” He urged individuals, corporate Australia and all levels of government to take seriously the threat of climate change and the potential of renewable energy.

A morning in the rain with By Phil Jarratt “I was actually born in an aeroplane,” says Kabi Kabi Elder Aunty Beverly Hand, waving her arms through the air like a plane as we sit by a pot belly stove on a damp, misty morning in the forest near Mapleton. “Mum was being taken from Goroka to Mount Hagen to have me, but I couldn’t wait,” she continues. “At least that’s the story she always told me, but I never got any details beyond that. She also used to say that I was born with a veil over my face. Sailors believe that this is a good omen, and if a member of the crew was born with a veil, you’ll be safe from shipwreck. Mum said if ever I was on a ship, I should tell the captain and I’d be put at the top table!” Aunty Bev’s laughter rocks the annexe of her simple shelter on a beautiful property within the Mapleton Forest. Like her Kabi Kabi mother, Bev Hand likes to leave her stories dangling, perhaps to entice listeners to use their own imaginations. The effect is quite mesmerising. The stories, whether you believe them or not, blend into a sense of beginning to understand an ancient culture, knowing that it’s a small step down a very long road. Sitting with Bev while the rain tumbled down in the forest, I was reminded of a time long ago when our children were small and the great actor David Gulpilil, who was working in the neighbourhood, came to our house and put all of us under the spell of his Dreamtime stories. Aunty Bev weaves a similar web. Her father, Australian born of English and Welsh parents, met her mother, Penny Bond, at the Kangaroo Point Methodist Training College, where he was studying for the ministry and she was working in the kitchen and learning public speaking part time. But for her father, the law proved a stronger calling, and in 1962 he accepted a position as a chief magistrate in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Unable to marry in Australia, the couple tied

Aunty Beverly Hand. the knot in Port Moresby before heading to the back country. Four children followed, Bev’s airborne birth being the last. Bev and her siblings spent their formative years on Huli country in the Highlands where, under the protectorate, “The magistrate and his family were like royalty,” she recalls. But when independence came in 1975, the family was sent home to Brisbane, where Bev encountered

Picture: PJ racism for the first time at Milton State School. Her father left the public service for a time to renovate and sell houses, but when he rejoined to become an Aboriginal Affairs manager, the family was on the road again, from Bundaberg to Townsville and finally Roma. Bev says there were racist episodes at every school she attended, but with the quiet counsel of her mother, she rose above it.

“I actually loved moving from school to school because I could rebirth myself. Mum always said, write your own story but continually edit it. Going to new schools always made me step up to the plate, because you have to. I finished year 10 with a high distinction. I was in the debating club, the photography club, the student council, the school plays. On my first day of year 11 at Roma I got called to the headmaster’s office and he said he didn’t think I should continue at school because I’d be a bad influence. He said if I put one foot out of line I’d be gone. I told mum and dad and they just said, don’t worry, keep going. I was going to be a lawyer. I had one teacher who stood in my corner, but I didn’t last long. You can only take so much. “So I left, had a child and started waitressing. A friend got me into a place at Toowoomba called The Haven, which was a kind of youth refuge run by Baha’is, and they got me into stuff like Bach flower remedies. I volunteered at the neighbourhood centres, working in the garden mainly. At 17 I became a charter member of Roma Rotaract Club. I was community services director and sergeant at arms. I loved the whole Rotary thing. You learn how to handle situations and protocols. Both my parents were political so I had that grounding already, but this reinforced it.” Aunty Bev says her mum had “drummed the Kabi Kabi culture into us from the moment we could listen, and she’d sing us the songs.” Without prompting, Bev breaks into song. The rain is beating down on the other side of the thin wall of the annexe, but her rich, strong voice cuts through the sounds of the forest. She says: “That was a lullaby created by my great-grandfather Fred Embrey, who was a songman. (Radio and TV funnyman) Jamie Dunn bought Fred’s king plate at a secondhand shop on the coast and he went looking for Fred’s family to give it back, so it ended up at Cherbourg State School. They filmed that for Aggro’s Cartoon Connection.”

stories from Aunty Bev Bev crosses the room and takes an ancient photo from the wall. “It says: “Fred Embrey, King of Mount Mia Station, Kilkivan, February 21, 1927.” The breast plates were a contentious part of the institutionalisation of Aboriginal people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, promoting a hierarchy that didn’t exist, but there is a certain pride in being able to track your lineage, by whatever means, and Bev Hand’s lineage is a proud one indeed. She continues: “My favourite song of my great-grandfather’s is called Jalan Jingu, and it’s about when the djan ‘djaris come.” She bursts into energetic song again. “Fred Embrey was under a bunya tree collecting bunya nuts and putting them in his bag, and he started to get hit in the head by nuts. He looked around and couldn’t see anybody, then he looked up the tree and there was a djan ‘djari up there and it said to him, hey, only take what you need. So he emptied most of the nuts out of his bag and left, and later he wrote that song to remind people of that. Only take what you need.” I confess I’m not sure what a djan ‘djari is. She explains: “The djan ‘djari is the hero of plenty. It’s real enough for us. He can also become a spark of light and teach you how to use fire. He’s also the keeper of the law. We didn’t have a written book of laws, so the best way to keep in touch with law is through those stories, and through being in touch with those cultural, ancestral beings. A lot of our stories talk about how to deal with the law without taking it into your own hands.” She works a cleaning job to keep the wolf from the door, but the lesson in Kabi Kabi culture I received in her annexe the other morning was more in line with where Aunty Beverly Hand’s heart resides today. A committed environmentalist who likes to use the stories of country to illustrate the culture, she has worked with other researchers, historians and anthropologists on the cultural heritage

aspects of numerous Environmental Impact Statements. “But I had to give it up,” she says. “It was too heartbreaking.” These days she prefers to work with agencies like the Noosa Environmental Education Hub, delivering “Indigenous perspectives to schools, bringing culture in via the environment”. And Aunty Bev’s guided walks on country have become hot tickets whenever they are announced. Moreover, for the past 14 years she has been committed to revitalising one of the most important and historic cultural gatherings on the Aboriginal calendar, one that fell away during the decades of institutionalisation. She says: “Bunya Dreaming is not about teaching other people about our culture or about teaching our people about themselves. It focuses on the tree. It’s a way for me to get people together so that we can break down barriers. It’s been

Aunty Bev leads a walk on country. bloody hard, trying to revive a traditional event in a contemporary way. I’ve got to get corporate about it somehow or it won’t survive. People come along and want to make it bigger, but bigger isn’t better.” But Bunya Dreaming needs funding nonetheless, and Aunty Bev is planning a fundraising Bunya Banquet for October.

GOING PLACES WITH ERNIE DINGO

SPICKS AND SPECKS ABC TV, 7.40pm

Almost 10 years since the last proper season, Spicks and Specks is back for a full outing. Fans can rejoice! A decade will feel like yesterday as host Adam Hills (left), along with team captains Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough, settle back in to the feel-good, music-loving game show. Tonight, the panellists kicking oﬀ the return are singer/ songwriter and drummer G Flip, singer Linda Bull and comedians Frank Woodley Dilruk Jayasinha. It’s the panel show equivalent of a mug of hot chocolate.

MONDAY

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY 7MATE, 8.30pm

James Cameron’s all-conquering sequel to his 1984 sci-ﬁ classic occupies the same iconic status as Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 and George Lucas’s Star Wars series. Arnold Schwarzenegger (above) returns as the cyborg protagonist – like the tin man in search of a heart – to defend the Connor family (Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong) against a liquid-metal killing machine (Robert Patrick), and hence, prevent a nuclear apocalypse. Like Arnie’s classic phrase, “I’ll be back”, to be short and to the point, the special eﬀects are extraordinary.

TUESDAY

THE GOOD DOCTOR SEVEN, 9pm

Now four seasons into the lives of doctors and patients at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, the feeling of a fresh, new show is gone. In its place we have characters, such as Dr Shaun (Freddie Highmore), who viewers feel they know intimately. Afraid of change and stuck in his ways, this nonetheless brilliant doctor has grown up a lot. Tonight, in “Spilled Milk”, we are reminded of Shaun’s emotional limitations in an episode that fervently plays with viewers’ emotions. Claire (Antonia Thomas) is shocked when her absentee father rocks up. After the show’s reality-check COVID storylines, fans will probably be relieved for some good, oldfashioned, emotional manipulation.

The beauty and diversity of Australia is explored in this laidback travel show which celebrates the traditional owners of our land. Host Ernie Dingo (below) doesn’t appear to be interviewing anyone he meets; he eﬀortlessly engages, chatting with them about their beloved surrounds and life stories. The actor and comedian, who many will remember as the aﬀable host of The Great Outdoors for 16 years, is in his element as he explores the Murraylands region in South Australia tonight. He cruises on a historic paddle steamer, meets a keeper of African carnivores, and shares a special moment with actor David Gulpilil (The Tracker).

Painting the town By Abbey Cannan Three lucky community groups have won a free supply of paint to freshen up their premises from the Haymes Paint Shop Helping Hand Campaign. Gympie Meals on Wheels, Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club and Tewantin Traders Association are the three lucky winners, with one of these groups set to win the major prize of a tradesman to help them get the job done. President of The Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club Brett Lea said it was a fantastic result for the club.

“It’s much appreciated from the local business supporting our local people,” he said. “It’s going to help us tremendously going forward where we can touch up or start the repaint of our much needed club rooms, inside and out, and hopefully we’ll have enough to even look at our white picket fence,” he said. Brett said as a non-profit club they run a working bee once a year where members give a helping hand. “We’ll call on all our members to bring a paint brush down. We’ve got a very good core group of members from juniors to mums and dads, male and female cricketers, and even old

members,” he said. “We’ve also recently received a grant from the state government for $20,000 to upgrade our facility which was much needed. “We’ve had a fair bit on over the last two to three years with projects completed but we always need to move forward with future projects.”

Cycling and walking strategy – have your say If you have ever thought that you would do more cycling and walking if only you had better pathways in your area, or maybe if only that key missing link was completed, now is the time to have your say. Noosa Council has its draft Cycling and Walking Strategy out for public comment, and your local knowledge is critical if they are to get it right. The Strategy includes a Project Prioritisation list of nearly 400 walking and cycling projects from the hinterland to the coast, with a priority for each project. Although consultation closes today, we are sure that your comments will be considered if you get them to your councillors quickly. Transport emissions represent 33 percent of Noosa’s total emissions, so Zero Emissions Noosa believes swapping some car trips for cycling, walking, skateboarding or even scooting can help us get to our zero emissions by 2026 goal.

The recent Noosa EV Expo demonstrated the huge interest of the community in all these modes, particularly with electric assist. Along with the uptake of electric bikes, there is a quiet revolution happening with electric scooters, which are light, affordable and foldable and have a range suitable for many trips. Several of Noosa’s great bike retailers participated in the Expo, including Giant Noosa, Le Cyclo Sportif and Ecotekk and many Expo visitors took the opportunity to test ride e-bikes and e-scooters. However, Noosa will lag behind other communities if it does not give priority to funding better pathway linkages to schools, shopping centres, and sporting grounds. Council’s Climate Change Response Plan, now also out for public comment, identifies the goal to “accelerate active transport infrastructure investment” and it is important that Council gets the message that this is important to you, your family and your community.

Get your tickets for the chance to win a VW Polo and support Katie Rose Cottage hospice.

Car lottery drives funds By Jim Fagan “Where Moments Matter” are the compassionate words Doonan charity, Katie Rose Cottage Hospice uses to describe its caring for the terminally ill and their families. Right now, however, raising money is also what matters and a confident Katie Rose has events already underway to do just that. The hospice provides its services 24/7 at no charge. People come to it from Noosa and throughout the Sunshine Coast and it usually has a waiting list. This year it has plans for expansion like lifting the number of its three guest suites to five and a new administrative block. It is also looking at introducing an outreach service for home palliative care. Last year Katie Rose took a hit when it had to close its volunteer Op shops for a lengthy period due to Covid trading restrictions. “It was tough going for a while,” Board chairperson, Carol Raye, told Noosa Today. “The income from the Op shops helps pay for our nursing services and essentials like linen replacement, cleaning products and medical supplies. “We have put all that behind us now and we have arranged whole lot of fundraising events, including a charity golf day next month

at Noosa Springs, a car show in August and a fashion spectacular in September. “Support from the community is an integral part of the continued success of the hospice,” Carol said. “We should all be very proud of what we have achieved to maintain this very special and unique service right here in our community.” At this moment, the hospice is raffling a car and its dedicated professionals and volunteers are hoping the tickets now being sold will result in $40,000 as a contribution to maintaining its respectful and considerate palliative care. Thanks to its lottery partner, Cricks VW at Maroochydore, Katie Rose has as its first prize, a brand-new Volkswagen Polo, valued at $22,568, with $3,000 cash second and $1,000 third prizes. The draw will be made on April 30. Only 3500 tickets (“great odds,” says Carol) at a cost $20 each or a book of 10 for $150 are being sold. They are on sale at the hospice Op shops in Tewantin, Cooroy and Maroochydore and its warehouse in Noosaville. The hospice is hoping for a last-minute rush for tickets when the car is on display at Noosa Civic from next Monday, April 19 to Tuesday, April 27.

Now’s the perfect time to make-over your house, new curtains, new cushions or recover your outdoor lounge.

The evolution of holiday letting Re: “STA Cancer” letter by Jeanette Gentle (NT 9/4) your choice to use the words “cancer” and “metastasised” in reference to holiday letting in Noosa is both melodramatic and repugnant. An apology is owed to everybody touched by cancer and I hope you must never face a doctor to hear these terms. Now let’s get our facts straight. Noosa Shire comprises 56,587 permanent residents and 25,000 dwellings, of which 4,900 are estimated by council to be available as Short Term Accommodation (STA). So under 20% of dwellings are used as STA in Noosa with accommodation being our Shire’s largest industry generating the greatest share of our $3B annual GRP, keeping many in employment. STA is a natural evolution of holiday letting, just as Uber is evolving the taxi industry and Bitcoin is evolving banking. Like it or not Noosa must evolve with the rest of the World and contrary to your letter, Noosa Council imposes strict rules around STA with 4 planning zones defined: Tourist, High, Medium and Low-Density zones. STAs are not permitted in Low-Density zones, plus Medium and High-Density residential zones are intended for permanent residents with STA only possible upon approval (with only 8 applications received by Council from mid-2020 to February 2021). This leaves the Tourist zone where STAs are concentrated and these areas are generally in premium locations that tourists find attractive. So STA is not “uncontrolled” as you claim, but this well-defined zoning likely exposes your true gripe. Jeanette, you appear to want to keep Noosa all to yourself and feel as a “local” you deserve a premium Noosa property in the Tourist zone, one you likely cannot afford. The reality is no one can claim to be a permanent “local” other than our custodians, the Kabi Kabi tribe. Further, Australia is a capitalist society and like everyone you must work harder and smarter than most to afford the better things in life, which now includes residing as a permanent Noosa resident in a premium location. STA is now a natural element of the tourism industry in Noosa and it is here to stay. Fortunately, it appears your entitlement and offensive misinformed histrionics may not. Rod Gamble, Noosa

No dogs in cafes What happened? For years now we have been allowed to take dogs to these cafes. I refer to 2 lovely cafes on Gympie Terrace. I would walk my dog and on the way home, stop with her, for a coffee and occasionally breakfast and then continue our walk home. The Body Corp has suddenly decided—NO DOGS allowed at these cafes. Why after all this time? Definitely spoilt our morning routine, as well as many other patrons with dogs. It is also very sad for the cafe owners as they are losing a lot of business, having to turn many dog walkers and their dogs away. Some probably go to other cafes which allow dogs. It seems so unfair, as these cafe owners have also had to struggle, and survive through COVID and now we can no longer support them. Liz Clayton, Noosaville

Cycling strategy disappoints The measures outlined in Noosa Council’s Draft Cycling and Walking Strategy, if implemented, should go a long way to normalise cycling as a clean and healthy transport choice. However there are some aspects of the Strategy that are disappointing. For the hinterland in particular, there’s not much joy in the short-term. The Cooroy Area Residents’ Association has long called for a bike path from Tewantin to Cooroy - this was identified in the South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan as a priority route in 2007, only to be ignored by every Council since then, and should be a high priority for the current Council. Other hinterland cycle routes in Council’s Draft Strategy involve “on-road provisions”, rather than separated cycle paths. Cycling should be an option for the entire community - ages eight to eighty - and is only feasible if it’s possible to ride without having to share space with motorised traffic. There’s no doubt of a strong community demand for safe cycling facilities. In 2018 residents in Cooran - over 800 - signed a petition for Council to build a bike path following the railway line to Pomona. What better way for Cooran kids to get to the high school in Pomona? This doesn’t rate highly in the strategy, yet Council has already begun work on a longer and hillier alternative route to Pomona as part of the Noosa Trails Network Master Plan. This is aimed at recreational cyclists, walkers and horse-riders in a bid to generate tourist activity in the hinterland, rather than for locals wanting to get from A to B. Yet most tourists would actually prefer to cycle on paths that locals are demanding - sealed off-road paths without too

many hills offering a fast direct route, they’re just as scenic and provide a much more relaxing experience compared to trails designed primarily for horse riding. The other shortcoming of Council’s strategy is that there is not a mention of lower speed limits. The World Health Organisation has launched a campaign to make 30 kmph streets the norm worldwide, proclaiming 2021 -2030 the Decade of Action for Road Safety, and next month will see the UN Global Road Safety Week, with the slogan “Streets for Life #Love 30”. Both initiatives aim to make streets healthy, green and liveable, and safe for all users - cyclists, pedestrians, mobility scooters and the increasingly popular and versatile escooters. Council should seriously consider this lower speed limit on Noosa’s streets as part of its Cycling and Walking Strategy. It’s inexpensive, effective and could be implemented immediately.

Stop dumping rubbish This week I walked in the Lake Doonella Reserve along the Cranks Creek path to the playground as I do regularly to find that rubbish is still being dumped in the bush within the Reserve. If you enter Alec Loveday Park at the corner of Hooper Cres and Woolumba Street Tewantin you will find some properties that back onto the path seem to use the Reserve at their personal dump with the right to toss palm fronds and other green rubbish into the bush. Timber off cuts from a new timber fence that faces onto the path have just been tossed

into the bush. This property that as just been sold. Just along from this location you will find masses on palm fronds piled up and encroaching over the pathway. At this location if you leave the path and walk down to the Creek you will discover an area where the grasses have been deliberately flattened, a fire lit and trees marked with blue raddle. As you walk further along there is very recent dumping of green waste from a red bougainvillea and a grevillea. The bougainvillea use to look amazing gracefully hanging over the back fence of the house with the exquisite garden. Before you reach the bridge there is of course the huge mountain of green waste that has been reported to the Council. Reporting the dumping of green waste seems to fall on deaf ears in the Council and yet they spend time and ratepayer money on erecting signage to discourage this willful act. The signage reads “ Do Not Dump Green Waste or Other Refuse in this Reserve. Offenders Will Be Prosecuted.“ What a joke!! This is only a fifteen minutes walk and I challenge any relevant Council employee or Councillor to walk with me to observe the continuing contemptuous disregard for our community and the environment. J Ashwin, Tewantin

Empty shells In the chook pen, the Strutting Roosters were crowing that the pen’s best laid eggs would bring health, wealth and glory to the Rulers of the Roost.

Overreaction I am in total agreement with both Margaret Maccoll and Phil Jarratt in their well written replies to the two posts about the front cover and articles in Noosa Today 26/3 and responses 9/4. One writer states that “The majority of people seeing this article will most likely end up thinking that Imika became a finalist for Miss Universe based first and foremost on her looks and body.......” Being one of this “majority”, but still able to think for myself, I can honestly say that this never even occurred to me, but then I am aware that these days there is far more to these competitions, as I am sure most people are.....The writer needs to also know that this photo was approved of by this lovely young woman, therefore she is hardly being “objectified”. I would also suggest that this is precisely the type of over-reaction that will do the “Cause” more harm than good, as people will simply turn off, especially if it’s over talked and over analysed, - especially to children.

Hospital changes needed Due to population increase on the Sunshine Coast, the emergency patients at the University of Sunshine Coast Hospital have been experiencing life-threatening delays. As the population is set to increase further, this situation needs to be remedied. Here are there things that can be done quickly and effectively to dramatically reduce waiting times, to aid everyone on the Sunshine Coast, and to also make hospital services much more accessible by public transport for the people of Noosa Shire: 1. Re-fund Noosa Hospital so that it can be returned to the largely public hospital that it was designed to be. That is, 65% public and 35% private. 2. Increase beds and services at Nambour hospital, so that once again it can serve the people of Noosa Shire, and the northern end of the Sunshine Coast Shire. 3. Re-fund Gympie hospital to increase its capacity to properly serve people of Cooroora Shire. Yours Sincerely, Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Sexual harassment In the news daily, it seems, a real sign of the times. Woman in Politics woman in sport woman in law, the list goes on. I witnessed, as a young lad back in the fifties and sixties, my father beat my mother under the influence of alcohol. So I have an axe to grind here. The government is about to change the laws regarding sexual harassment. And about bloody time, as I know of a case, where a male employee of a large business in Australia has still got his job after mollesting multiple women at a Xmas function. You know the disturbing thing to me here is, I just wonder what does this guy does in private. Bring on the change GOVERNMENT. RodRocketShark, Noosa

Show some respect Ms. Gentle, your comparison of STA’s to cancer was fairly harsh and very disrespectful to cancer sufferers. Unfortunately many STA owners who are NOT onsite and are unaware of the occasional disturbance to neighbours have demonised those who try to make a small living renting out a room or flat within their premises. We are one of those. We cater for travellers who choose not to stay in mainstream accommodation. We DO NOT deplete the general rental accomodation pool as our flat is only used at other times by family or friends. Our small business has allowed us to meet hundreds of interesting people and kept us out of the dole queue. We do not allow parties, we have off street parking and we take up the slack for accomodation availability which the Council promotes as a tourist town. Many resort managers also mange STA within their complex. So please, do not put all of us in the same basket. Thankfully owners not onsite will need to have a nominated contact in the event of any problems arising from their STA. We pay tax on our small earnings and contribute to the Noosa Council’s Economic and Tourist Levy every six months. Name supplied, Sunshine Beach

Is this armageddon? I know I’m not alone when I ask ‘is this Armageddon?’ All our problems are man- made. If we were a community that concentrated on healthy living rather than development/money and ensured our agriculture sustained that Shire, then each and every region would become self-sustained. It is really that simple. Water catchment and all. Greedy man makes it hard for the worker. They are our Politicians/Corps/Councils aka Developers, those who honestly believe that money/prestige will bring them heaven. They are the saddest most depressed on our Earth. No pharmaceutical/recreational drug will ever satisfy them. That’s why women are now becoming prominent. My only disappointment will be if as in the past such women choosing to enter a ‘mans world’ do so in collar and tie. Please girls, leave your skirts on. Our community future needs nurturing not ‘Neds level.’ Right now what the world needs are lots of hugs, caring and wholesome foods. Mankind lost the plot when our mothers were sent to work and put their child into a stranger’s hands. Who rocks that cradle?

Takeaway foods and not knowing whose fingers have wrapped that food in is more than COVID issues. Big Corps don’t care for hygiene, too much money in training and gloves. Our current generation are fighting pollution, so they should it’s their eating/living ways that have caused the build up of pollution. All because mumma wasn’t home to cook their dinner and prepare breakfast. Plastic free. Our solution goes back to mumma running the household as she once did and now the country as her man shown by history that he can’t. Hence why we’re here- the XX factor becoming more prominent (more on that in next letter). Women have held families/communities up for centuries while man played with his trombone. Women need to keep their skirts on, sensually not sexually. We don’t need to become men to enter their world, we just need to be true. Jen Oakley, Noosa

Look, but don’t touch I am getting very fed up with “Political Correctness”. Your readers complaining about seeing

a beautiful young body in a bikini or twisting a husband versus wife surfing competition into a gender discrimination issue for example. It’s as if they go hunting for anything that they can twist to fit their own agenda. In doing so, they are missing the point of abuse and discrimination. Abuse is the fault of the perpetrator. Not the gorgeous girls and boys who choose to show off their bodies at the best time in their lives to do so. They’re proud and have a right to be. Let’s face it, we don’t have a big window in our lives when our bodies are at their best, and it’s wonderful to be proud enough to show it off. It isn’t an invitation for abuse or insult. If you don’t like it, then shut up and don’t look. It’s up to families to raise their children with respect for all. Seeing a beautiful girl in a bikini means just that! Admire, but don’t touch unless you’re invited to. Respect is taught at home and starts early. If things are going wrong it isn’t the fault of the paper or a surfing couple or a bikini clad body. It’s how we’ve been taught and what we’ve been allowed to get away with. Stop trying to blame the wrong things and try practicing tolerance, open mindedness and down-right friendliness instead of puritanical finger pointing.

Must - see exhibitions The Art and Sculpture Gallery at The Art Hub Cooroy will be exhibiting the amazing creative artworks of Regina Vaughton, Kerry Keyte and Michael Mitchell. Regina lived in Whyalla South Australia, Wollongong and Bundanoon in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. A year ago she and her husband moved to Noosa. She worked for many years for BHP and studied at the South Australian School of Art and retired as a practicing psychologist in 2010. After retiring Regina resumed her lifelong interest in Art and has continued to develop her skills. Regina enjoys experimenting with various mediums and her ink works in particular. She finds that there is a resemblance between the way nature creates patterns of colour in a landscape and the way water and pigment mixes together on paper. There is always the element of the unexpected that happens when painting in this medium and creates a unique visual experience. Regina said, “In some of the pieces in this exhibition I explored the idea of how nature depicts the colours and patters of heat and fire”. Kerry creates works of art in mixed media which gives her the ability to adapt and change her artwork inspired by the light and ocean lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast. Her art has a reflective quality using light to bring up the colour and intensity of her artwork. She mainly works with resin, mosaic, wood and fused glass upcycling her objects into works of art. Most of her artwork encompassing ocean themes or dramatic tones

Artist Kerry Keyte creates works of art in mixed media. which are practical and can be used not just as ornamental art hung on the wall for display. She describes her artwork as evolving always experimenting and looking for new ways to creating and having fun. Michael’s passion to work with wood has developed in creating unique handcrafted bowls and platters. He uses a diverse range of locally sourced timbers, and also makes children’s toys, cars, trucks and trains. Visit The Art Hub Cooroy on opening night to meet the exhibiting artists scheduled for Friday 23 April. The exhibition will run from 23 April to 1 May at 3/2 Emerald Street, Cooroy.

be performed on Saturday 8th May at 2pm at Coolum Civic Centre, 2-4 Park St, Coolum Beach. Pieces include the well-known Blue Danube Waltz, The Pearl Fisher Duet, Handel’s Water Music, and Mendelssohn’s The Hebrides “Fingal’s Cave”. Tickets are $25 and include a program, and can be purchased on the SCSO website: www.sunshinecoastsymphonyorchestra. com Under 18’s are free.

The Sunshine Coast’s renowned Oriana Choir will be presenting Mozart’s Requiem May 15 at The Events Centre Caloundra and May 16 at St John’s Cathedral, Brisbane City. Conducted by internationally acclaimed choral and orchestral director, Andrew Wailes, the choir will be joined by Sinfonia of St Andrew’s and soloists Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke, Soprano, Anne Fulton, Alto, Philip Prendergast, Tenor, and Shaun Brown, Bass. The choir and orchestra will also present Sunrise Mass, a stunning modern sacred work by Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. The combined program is a reflection of current times with the Sunrise Mass depicting hope, peace and light in a dawning world and the Requiem mourning for all that has been lost. The Mozart Requiem was the grand master’s final composition. Left incomplete at Mozart’s death, the Requiem has always been surrounded by mystery and intrigue sparking numerous romantic exaggerations. A lucrative commission by an anonymous stranger - portrayed as a herald of the composer’s own premature death - led to many tales and stories in the nineteenth century and became the basis for dramatic works on Mozart’s life in the twentieth century. While the reality is somewhat more prosaic, the Requiem itself remains one of the most intimate, fervent and profound of Mozart’s works.

“Andrew’s knowledge of composers and classical music knows no bounds,” said Melissa Innes, President of Oriana referring to Wailes, Oriana’s seasonal Musical Director, who is travelling from Melbourne and his regular engagement with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic to conduct Oriana for select weekend rehearsals, in addition to the direction of the concerts in May. “During rehearsals he shares many anecdotal gems from history and his personal interpretation of the music, and from his own performance experience. The works spring to life with Andrew bringing context, meaning and significance to the music.” Oriana’s regular patrons will remember Ola Gjeilo’s exquisite Sunrise Mass from the choir’s highly acclaimed 2017 present. This evocative and captivating modern mass paints a series of emotional landscapes, combining voice and strings to create a sublime musical experience. Listeners are taken on a journey from the starry heavens to the darkest emotions of human existence. Tickets for the 7pm May 15 concert at The Events Centre, Caloundra can be purchased through the venue (theeventscentre.com.au phone: 5491 4240).

Watch a pooches play in the park A play set in a park on the Noosa River where six dogs meet daily to discuss their lives, loves and social media status. There is a beautiful moral that dogs teach us everyday if only we listen. Meet Gussy, played by Neil Nash, the Golden Retriever who practices Buddhism and is determined to win the heart of Honey, a botoxed Insta-star with 50,000 followers. Neil played the Toad in the award winning 2018 play The Rogue Toad which was performed on the Noosa Ferry. Ali Lambole plays Missy, an anxious little whippet who longs for a life of security with her best friend. Ali has won awards for acting, play writing and production, she is a Clown Doctor with the Humour Foundation and is a highly sought after actress here on the coast and in Brisbane. Glen Miller plays Jock, the friendly Bull Mastiff, who’s dopey demeanour does not attract the ladies. He is also an award winning actor and is a very popular actor at Noosa Arts Theatre. Zoe Griffen, who’s most recent credits included her role as Felicity in Noosa Art Theatres Daylights Saving, plays Honey the self obsessed Pooch-fluencer from Instagram who refuses to connect the way dogs do. Roscoe, played by Curtis Bock, is a Jack Russell who can’t control his anger and, Lily, played by the playwright, Tania Nash is an elderly Labrador who’s old way of life has long gone. Is Insta-fame all its cracked up to be? Is botox the answer to the beauty ideal? Will Gussy get his authentic connection?

Ariso plays Vivaldi By Jim Fagan Two legends of the Baroque era, Antonio Vivaldi and JS Bach, will feature in an exciting program of virtuoso arias and solo instrumental works by Arioso Chamber Ensemble next month in Pomona. The Ensemble, Judit Moln&aacute;r (soprano), Margaret Caley (baroque violin), Belinda Manwaring (baroque cello) and Janet Brewer (harpsichord) are now in their eighth year of performing together. “Although we are all “grounded” now by the pandemic, music continues to connect us with people around the globe,” said Janet. “Even in the 16th and 17th century-before international travel and being whisked across the world in only a day or so-- musical styles and influences still travelled between centres such as Northern Italy, to Germany and England. “As composer-performers like Vivaldi and JS Bach, moved from one city to another, the latest musical fashions travelled with them.” Following the Pomona concert, the Ensemble intend sharing its musical journey with audiences in South-East Qld, and at the New England Bach Festival, Armidale, NSW http://www.nebach-festival.com/ Bach And Vivaldi - the Legends of Baroque, Majestic Theatre, Pomona, 2.30pm Sunday, May 9.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Tewantin Bliss, no probs Trevor Pepys reviews Bombay Bliss, Tewantin Already pretty blissed out after a couple of glasses of wine and a Sunday sesh from the extraordinary Barry Charles at the Harbour Wine Bar, Trevor and the missus decided to spice things up with a nosh at the nearest Indian, which happened to be just up the hill in Poinciana Avenue. Now Trev’s frequent cravings for curry are well known and he has sampled just about every Indian in town on multiple occasions, but never the Bombay Bliss, which turns out to be part of a substantial chain, kind of like an Indian KFC. This is never a good sign but when you’re doing your research on your phone while walking in the front door and sniffing the garlic naan smells wafting from the open kitchen, what are you going to do? Well, throw caution to the winds, of course. As it turns out, the Tewantin Bliss is more of a take-out depot than a real restaurant, with just a few bench-style seats and the feel of street food about it, authenticated by the Indian art one the one painted wall. Trev likes it immediately, especially when the wine specials list reveals an extremely passable Yalumba Wild Ferments rose ($35). I’m not much on the local pink stuff, preferring the Provencal, but the Wild Ferments range is a little bit special, smooth and fruity but dry, the best of the Barossa. So we’re off to a good start as we sit at our lonely bench, the only eat-in customers, and sip the fine Yalumba as we peruse the fairly ordinary menu. The special prawn entree sounds enticing, but they haven’t got it so we settle for a prawn pakora ($11) alongside a mixed entree of kheema samosas and chicken tikka ($14) and a serve of papadums ($3.50) followed by a main of Kashmiri rogan josh lamb ($19.50). Our waitress is sweet and efficient, but if she punctuates another sentence with three “no problems” again, we are all going to have a problem. Fortunately, the food comes fast and furious so, as she suggests yet again, we have “no problem”. Left alone, we pick at our supersized entrees. Too bad they didn’t have the first special prawns because the pakora is dull and tasteless. Fortunately the mixed entree pairing of kheema samosas (tasty lamb mince sauteed with onion, ginger, garlic, green peas, a dash of potatoes and fresh coriander) with chicken tikka (succulent and marinated to perfection) works pretty damn well for such a simple dish. The rogan josh (ordered medium to appease the missus) is a huge serving of spiced lamb that comes apart on the fork and is not swamped in curry sauce, allowing the individual flavours to sit on the tongue to Trev’s satisfaction. The verdict: Not your big night out special,

SOCIAL SCENE

Catch the village vibes By Margaret Maccoll Live music, author talks, art classes and forage trails are just some of the ventures making Peregian Beach Village buzz like never before as the Village Vibes Festival continues into its second week. Over the weekend live music drew crowds into the village square, artist Tara Sage introduced guests to watercolour painting at Pizzame Restaurant and chalk artist Mieke van den Berg left her mark on the sidewalk in the form of swimming turtles and inspired a young generation of chalk artists. On Saturday Veggie Village volunteers Carol and Lis took visitors on a Feast and Forage Trail to learn a little more about Peregian’s community garden and sample some of the tastes at local restaurants. Guests heard how Veggie Village was first

established 13 years ago and expanded about six years ago with raised gardens and a shade area built for the benefit of members and their monthly social events. Carol explained the processes involved in enriching the soil, pointed out the many herbs and vegetables planted and the success of the group. She told the group how they planted flowers to attract bees, grew greens to build up garden beds and how thrilled they were to host gardening guru Costa Giorgiadis. Before guests departed chef Olly Vallis provided them with dips created from garden produce, then they continued on to sample the food at some of Peregian’s restaurants. The Village Vibe Festival continues this weekend with highlights including a Walkabout Fashion and Pooch Trail Friday, kids craft on Saturday and a book signing and live music on Sunday.

A night of music and words

Self care book launch in Noosa By Abbey Cannan After a particularly tumultuous year, bestselling author and acclaimed artist Meredith Gaston has created a perfectly timed self-care book and will be visiting Noosa for the launch. Due to celebrate the publication of her tenth book this year, Meredith continues to grow her prolific and diverse creative practise. “I started at 20 in the world of books and I’m 36 this year so I’ve been loving the process as it’s my absolute passion,“ she said. “Each book has changed my life.“As an internationally acclaimed speaker and passionate wellness advocate, her new book, At Home Within, explores pathways to peace, balance and contentment in our daily life. “The very simple message that this book has is that we all have a home within ourselves and it’s a very sacred, private place and it warrants our time and care,“ Meredith said. “Feeling at home within ourselves involves caring for ourselves in loving, thoughtful and joyous ways; noticing, honouring and meeting our unique needs.“ The affirmations and inspirations in these ten chapters will assist you to create positive change within. “The words and the pictures work together in harmony,“ Meredith said. “The process is that I generally write the manuscript first and then I take to the illustrations and bring the concepts that I have explored to life with watercolours and ink on beautiful Italian cotton paper. “It’s almost like a meditative process; I find the art aspect very therapeutic.“ To celebrate the launch, Annie’s Books on Peregian will be hosting an author talk with Meredith in conversation with Mary Lou Stephens. Meredith said she was excited about com-

Author Meredith Gaston is due to celebrate the publication of her tenth book this year. ing to Peregian for the event. “Annie has always been absolutely amazing and stocks a number of my other titles,“ she said. “I absolutely love the community there in Noosa and Peregian. It’s an interactive event with the audience and I’d love to answer any questions readers may have,“ she said. “This sort of subject matter is for everybody and my hope is that anybody that wants to explore this that they might want to come along and have a listen. “There will be a lovely atmosphere and I will be signing copies of the book on the night. The free event with wine and cheese will take place on Wednesday 28 April at 6pm on the footpath at Annie’s Books on Peregian.

Meredith Gaston is an internationally acclaimed best-selling author, artist, speaker, and passionate wellness advocate.

The phenomenal Jeff Lang will be taking to the stage in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 1 May for what will be a very special night of words and music. Jeff has built a reputation for making startling and influential music that is accomplished, intricate, gutsy, melodic and loaded with soul. Often taking unexpected turns, he has consistently inspired his audiences by creating a stylistically diverse catalogue of more than 30 albums. But with every well-credentialed artistic soul, evolving and diving into the unknown, is a step that is never too far away - and so in 2019, Jeff sat down and began to write what would become his first book. ’Some Memories Never Die’, the resulting memoir of three decades on the road, contains memories of gigs where the pay was akin to blood money, and reflections on how the road’s twists and turns can be lightened by the presence of fellow travellers - and occasionally darkened by them too. Each purchase of the book comes bundled with a download code for an exclusive 22 track album of re-recorded versions of Jeff Lang classics, explicitly produced for the book’s publication. To celebrate the book’s release, Jeff’s Eumundi show will combine music with an ‘in conversation’ and Q and A session. A limited number of spaces will be available for ticket purchasers to register for an hour-long workshop with Jeff, where he will give detailed insight into his songcraft, guitar techniques and much more. Slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Please forward your proof of purchase email to: jefflangworkshop@gmail with the Subject line EUMUNDI WORKSHOP to register. He will then be in touch with timings and further info. TICKETS: Pre-sale $25 (+ booking fee) through Oztix. 18+ event. No door sales. Doors open 7.30pm. To comply with Covid-safe practices, there is LIMITED seating at this event. Seating is non-allocated - first come, first served. There will be plenty of standing room.

There is limited seating and you are welcome to bring your own folding chair. For more information about the event call 07 5448 2053 or visit www.anniesbooksonperegian.com.au

Sunshine Coast songstress kicking goals Sunshine Coast singer-songwriter Taylor Moss is making the country industry and music fans stand up and take notice with her new single, You Ain’t Getting A Song, racking up the accolades on release day, April 9. Moss ups the ante and brings the sass with her new single, ’You Ain’t Getting A Song’, which has debuted at No. 5 on the iTunes Country Songs Chart, been added to iHeart Radio Country Australia, is No. 1 on the Apple Music Aussie Country playlist, No. 3 on the Apple Music Today’s Country playlist, and No. 3 on Spotify’s Fresh Country playlist. You Ain’t Getting A Song is the follow-up to ‘Ain’t No Girly Girl’, which has racked up nearly one million streams, and the new single looks to be following its footsteps. An ex-boyfriend inspired her to pen the song, after he demanded Moss promise not to write a song about him when they broke up. “I said I was a songwriter, what do you think I’m going to do?” she laughed. “The problem was... I had nothing to write about because our relationship wasn’t overly amazing and we had very different interests.” It appears that some boyfriends just aren’t 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 April, 2021

Taylor Moss kicking goals with sass in new single. worth writing a song about, even if you are one of Australia’s freshest young singer/songwriters. Having road tested the new song live, Moss said ‘You Aint Getting A Song’ was already turning into a genuine crowd pleaser.

“People seem to love it because it’s sassy and to the point because we’ve all had someone we’ve realised wasn’t worth it in the end,” she said. “Both ‘Ain’t No Girly Girl’, and ‘You Ain’t Getting A Song’ have strong women-empowering messages and both were crafted by the same team. The song was produced by pop legend Stuart Stuart and written by Taylor and her frequent collaborator Jesse Emmanuel (Hinterland). Moss said this was a message she wanted to spread through her music. “I want girls to feel inspired and strong by this new single, but I also hope the boys can singalong and get with the humour too” she said. And what happens if the ex texts Moss when he hears the song? “If he texts asking if the song is about him, I’m gonna flick him the Spotify link to ‘You’re So Vain’.” ‘Ain’t No Girly Girl’ remains in the top 20 of the Fresh Country Spotify playlist. Taylor was the Playlist Cover Star for three weeks.

Jeff Lang will be taking to the stage in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi.

Craft beer brewed by EU The brewers at Eumundi Brewery love conjuring up new recipes and flavour combinations for their seasonal beers. Keen for some new inspo, they are now throwing out the challenge to Sunshine Coast beer-lovers to get creative with the launch of the ‘Brewed By EU’ competition. Head Brewer Chris Sheehan said the challenge is to create a beer that is inspired by Eumundi and the Sunshine Coast. “For some it might be a particular place, be it the surf or the hinterland; maybe the Coastal vibe; or perhaps it’s a particular song that really captures the essence of what it means to live here,” Chris said. “It’s also important to give your beer a name that will really resonate with beer drinkers across the Sunshine Coast, one that tells us what inspired your thinking, or makes us laugh. “And when you’ve come up with the concept, think about some suggestions for ingredients and a type of beer - be it a lager, ale, sour, stout - that, when brewed by us, will translate into a beer that can be enjoyed by visitors and locals alike. “By way of example, some of our seasonals to date have included the Autumn Spice Ale made with local honey and turmeric, or the Cannabock, a German lager infused with hemp. “We’ve also partnered with locals to make a Coffee Porter with Eumundi Coffee Co, and a Macadamia Dunkel we called Mac Dunk with Nutworks.” Chris said entrants need to be 18+ beer-lovers residing on the Sunshine Coast. He emphasizes that entrants by no means need to know how to brew beer - as the actual brewing will be done by the team at the Eumundi Brewery. Crafty beer lovers keen to enter the competition can register their ideas at eumundibrewery.com.au between Monday 19 April and Sunday 9 May.

Eumundi Brewers Allan Tilden, Cleve Holloway and Chris Sheehan.

Head Brewer at Eumundi Brewery Chris Sheehan.

The Eumundi Brewery team will then choose two shortlisted beers as the finalists which will be announced on Eumundi Brewery’s social channels and website. “We will then brew two 20L kegs of the two finalist beers to go head-to-head in a public vote and tasting on the Saturday 26 June at the Hinterland Craft Beer Festival at The Imperial Hotel, home of the Eumundi Brewery,“ Chris said. “People can also vote without trying the

cash and one carton (24 x 375ml cans) of Eumundi Lager or Pale Ale per month for 12 months to share with friends! Anyone who votes on the two shortlisted beers will also be entered to win the first carton produced of the Brewed by Eu winning beer, a $250 voucher for the Imperial Hotel Eumundi, two cartons of Eumundi Lager or Eumundi Pale Ale, five tickets to attend the Brewed by EU’ launch Party, and other Eumundi Brewery merch.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Green light for Anzac Day What a wet and blustery Easter! The coast sure copped a drenching with huge falls from sustained downpours throughout the Easter break. Although wet we didn’t see any flash flooding the rivers swelled and become very dirty. This weather put a much needed break in the offshore fishing which will see the reef fishing come really good with a drop in swell and winds predicted. All too often after a prolonged rain event the fishing can be epic and with a drop in temps the fish will be feeding hard, especially on the lead up to the new moon. Offshore the inshore reefs will be dirty but live baits on run out tides should be dynamite on trout and big lipper. Snapper will also be featuring as the water temps start to drop and the amount of bait getting pushed out into the bay will see the tuna not far away. Noosa is known as a good prawn river so you can expect prawn profile soft plastics to work very well. Some great options include the Chasebaits flick prawn, Storm shrimp and Zerek ultimate shrimp. Don’t think these are just an estuary plastic so put a big jighead through these and send them down deep and hang on! Another overlooked lure style are soft vibes. The Nomad Vertrex has become popular and with BKK treble hooks as standard this is ready to fish out of the box. If you are after a Spanish mackerel try to find the dirty water line/ tide change line. All too often anglers will burn through this but it can be a great place to find feeding pelagics. This line often holds bait fish and a temperature break which many fish enjoy. You will also see a current line around this area so watch sounders and see the breaks in temperature and get some big lures and dead baits down deep and work these lines if struggling to find a feed. Surf fishing is often over looked when conditions blow hard and the swell is up. This is however a great time to fish as reefs become exposed and new gutters are formed. Larger predatory fish can feed in the daytime as the turbulent water offers camouflage. Using fresh oily baits is a must, so big slimy mackerel, mullet strip and pilchards are the go on snelled rigs and bait thread to keep baits in place during rougher conditions. We have a wide range of surf casting rods from light surf to rock and heavy big fish surf fishing. If getting started then the Penn Spinfisher is a great starter reel that is built to resist sand and salt. The Noosa River is now pumping and it’s brown! Much like last week’s report you are best to fish close to and even around the river mouth. You will also notice that the high tide or incoming tide may not happen even many hours after the posted time. With the river so full of fresh water the pressure of this is stronger than that of the tide so don’t think the times are wrong. If this is the case you may want to try and fish around the Noosa Sound, Woods

Mick Hardcastle from Tackle World Noosa boated this quality amberjack on a recent trip to The Hards. Bay and the Frying Pan which all offer some respite from the stronger currents at times. Bigger bream and trevally, especially GT will be on the prowl feeding on prawns and other prey items getting washed out. Fresh baits of worm, mullet and pilchard will work well. Try to use lighter lines and sinkers to give your bait the best possible presentation and keep soft plastics loaded up with scent like the new Gulp. This is a gel and stays on soft plastics very well. After dark as we run toward the new moon often produces mangrove jacks. These

NOOSA WEATHER FORECAST

Tide Times Time

fish will often break cover and feed in the open around tide changes. If you know the times of tide changes give it a try with big paddle tail soft plastics and fresh baits. The freshwater continues to fish hard. Lake Macdonald hit 115% capacity and has been spilling consistently. SEQ water are holding Borumba at 80% so as always extreme caution should be taken once beyond the ski zone. There should be a few opportunities as we see the end of the rains and some warmer weather hitting the water. Surface fishing is still viable

From Noosa to Nationals - Off to Australian Age Champs Two local swimmers have secured their place at the Australian Age Championships being hosted at the Gold Coast this week. Teagan McGowan and Scarlett Clarke, along with Performance Coach Brian Stehr, will be attending the National Age Championships representing their local swim club Good Shepherd Aquatics. Teagan and Scarlett have shown great resilience and flexibility throughout the 20-21 Season, quickly adapting to the challenges that emerged in 2020 and swimming with determination to achieve National Qualifying times for 2021 Australian Age Championships. The Australian Age Championships were under threat last week when the Commonwealth declared the Greater Brisbane COVID-19 Hotspot. Luckily the Lockdown served its purpose and ended in time for Easter. There was relief, and plenty of excitement amongst the swimming community when Swimming Australia announced that the Australian Age Championships would go ahead as scheduled on the Gold Coast, 5 to 12 April - and our GS Aquatics Swim Stars are ready to race. Teagan, age 15, has been swimming at the Good Shepherd Swim Centre since she was nine.

GS Aquatics Swim Stars Teagan McGowan and Scarlett Clarke are set to race at the 2021 Australian Age Championships. Teagan currently swims in the Diamond Swim School’s National Squad with Coach Brian Stehr and has been racing as a Member of Good Shepherd Aquatics Swim Club since 2015.

Teagan highest achievement to date is winning a Gold medal at School Nationals in Tasmania and breaking a QLD State Record in Brisbane for 50m Backstroke, which she still holds. Teagan has been training hard for Nationals and says she’s looking forward to racing on the Gold Coast. Her pet event is the 100m Backstroke, and her personal goal for National Age Champs is to make the Finals this Saturday. When asked what her biggest challenges were regarding training and competing under COVID-19 conditions, Teagan said “When we couldn’t train at the pool it was hard to keep motivated and I missed racing.” It was her Friends, her Coach Brian and her love of fitness, and enjoyment racing that kept her motivated to train. Scarlett, age 14, has been swimming at the GS Swim Centre with Diamond Swim School for 10 years, and now swims with their National Squad. Scarlett enjoys swimming with her friends and competing on weekends; and joined GS Aquatics in 2016. Scarlett’s highest achievements to date has been setting a 100m Butterfly record at Gympie Aquatic Centre and breaking her own record in the 200m IM at the

Hervey Bay pool during the Gympie and Hervey bay meets. A highlight of Scarlett’s season so far has been making it to finals for the 200m Breaststroke during the Queensland Championships in December and qualifying for five events at the Nationals. Scarlett said, “I am really excited to compete at such a high level.” When asked what her biggest challenges were regarding training and competing under COVID-19 conditions, Scarlett said “One of the biggest challenges I faced was not being able to train at the GS pool. Instead I trained in a friend’s freezing 20 m pool (it was June) and in the ocean, which I have never done before.” “I want to become the best swimmer I can possibly be and that means putting in the effort and training.“ Her pet event is the 200m IM.

Mick, Fatty learn their place in golf You can just picture it, can’t you? Paul ‘Fatty’ Vautin and Michael O’Connor, two lovable Aussie larrikins, were spending a northern winter playing rugby league for St Helens and, to fill in time, had just finished 18 holes of golf at Royal Birkdale where, two years later, their countryman Ian Baker-Finch would claim the 120th British Open title. As golfers, Fatty and Mick weren’t quite in IBF’s class; nor did they attract the same sort of veneration. After a few post-game drinks, the lads found themselves in Birkdale’s plush snooker room, where they put down their tankards and reached for a cue. “Members only after 4pm,” droned a pompous member as he entered the sanctuary. “You two will have to leave.” The mists of time have clouded the specifics of the response, but whatever it was, and by whom it was said, it was enough for Fatty and Mick – two of the most decorated players to have represented Australia on a rugby league field in the past half-century – to be shown the door and invited to never return. That story, recalled with a quiet chuckle, was one of the reasons Michael O’Connor fell in love with golf, a game that tests a person’s skill, integrity and commitment, and unearths characters that become part of golfing folklore. Michael’ O’Connor’s ability as a footballer – a dual international in league and union and a NSW State of Origin legend whose kicking skills still send shudders through Maroons fans – is well known. Not so widely recognised is his talent at golf. Mick, who has been a Noosa resident for the past 25 years, first took up the game on that fateful journey to northern England in late 1988 and early 1989. He and Vautin were Manly team-mates and had signed up with St Helens for the season, partly for something to do, partly for the money – but mostly because it just sounded like so much fun. “We trained on Tuesday and Thursdays and played on Saturdays,” Mick said. “That was it – we had nothing else to do.” So they turned to golf. “Fatty had played a bit and was quite good, but I’d had only an occasional hit,” he said. “The first time I was invited to play in a corporate golf day over there I had a fresh air swing on the first tee.” But he persevered, and with his natural athletic ability and refined hand-eye coordination, he was soon hitting balls down the centre of northern England fairways. He borrowed a set of clubs from team coach Alex Murphy, and Fatty and he became regulars at the Ashton-in-Makerfield public links and, when they could get on, at the more exclusive Grange Park country club. “Grange Park is the Noosa Springs of St Helens,” Mick said. “It is a lovely course but some of those English members and officials could be real sticklers for protocol. “Fatty used to wear his socks on the outside of his long pants to keep out the cold, and he was reminded several times that such a thing was not allowed at Grange Park.” When Mick settled at Noosa after his league career was over, he joined Noosa Golf Club, or Tewantin-Noosa, as it was then known. “The first handicap I ever had was 13. Now, all these years later, I’m still on about that – so I guess I’m a slow learner,” he said. “But I do think I’m a much better golfer now.” Mick showed that was certainly the case last Thursday when he scored 37 stableford points – five more than anybody else - in a Noosa Springs club competition played from the tough black tees. He followed that up with 36 points in Noosa’s Saturday stableford competition. 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 April, 2021

How to live up to your potential TAKE THE TIP By Hamish Robertson

Jaxon Smith shows his style on the golf course. He usually plays in Noosa’s Tuesday Club event with a group of mates, and joins another group of buddies at Noosa Springs on Thursdays. He’s a member of both clubs, and usually fits in a third round each week if he can. “I love golf,” he said. “It gets me out of the house, it’s always a challenge because you always want to improve, and I love the social aspect. “You can play against anybody – it doesn’t matter how good or bad they are. The handicapping system makes you equal,” he said. “And, really, you’re playing against yourself every time. “After playing sport in a team environment all my career, it’s really enjoyable to get out there and be entirely responsible for what you do.” Mick and his wife moved house a couple of years ago, and for the past few months they’ve shared their home with their daughter, son-inlaw and new grand-daughter Raina, now six months old. “She’s just wonderful, and it’s given us so much pleasure having her around and watching her grow,” Mick said. “Better even than golf.” JAXON IN THE MIX Noosa Golf Club’s Jaxon Smith shot rounds of 80 and 76 to finish fourth in the boys’ 11-12 age group of the Australian Junior Age Division Championships at Royal Pines on the Gold Coast last week. Juniors from throughout Australia and the Pacific competed in the event, which was a qualifier for some of the United States premier youth tournaments. Peregian’s Ellianna MacRae, with rounds of 82 and 83, was third in the girls’ 11-12 age group. MURRAY AT HIS SUNDAY BEST Noosa Springs member Murray Hopping gave himself a good chance of becoming the monthly winner of the Sunday Series when he returned a competitive 36 stableford points to win Sunday’s round of the popular event. Murray’s score is the best of the month so far, the first round called off because of rain. If nobody beats his mark of 36 points in the next two weekends, Murray will qualify for the endof-year final and be in the running for a Noosa Springs’ holiday and unlimited golf. Visitors are welcome to compete each Sunday in the event, sponsored by Universal Property. And, if they live on the Sunshine Coast or in Gympie, they need pay only $79 green fee,

Expectations can affect us at different times on and off the golf course. Something I learnt from my playing days is how to handle them. An example of this was when I was contesting a big two-day 72-hole tournament called the Whanganui Open. A teenager with about a 2 handicap, I was expecting to shoot a couple of 72s on the first day to put me into contention, but at day’s end I had shot 83 and 81. Nothing when right. I was puzzled and thought it just couldn’t get any worse. After waking up fresh with a new attitude my tactic for the second day was to relax and just play golf without getting ahead of myself. This resulted in scores of 71 and 70. Looking back, I had made the tournament so big in my mind that I forgot about the process. Moving ahead as a professional, the key thought I have is to simply play the shot in front of me and nothing more. If you can learn to handle your expectations you will have every chance to turn your practice into great golf. HAMISH ROBERTSON, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs’ senior PGA teaching professional

Noosa Main Beach tower

Noosa’s trio of towers The increase in visitation to not only our local beaches, but also our beaches around Australia, make it obvious that we in lifesaving, keep abreast of modern technology and rescue procedures. This year, the Noosa club will celebrate the 21st birthday of a rescue system that is unique in Australia; the Three Tower Concept. With two towers on Noosa’s Main Beach manned by Lifesavers and Lifeguards and the third, in the mouth of the Noosa River manned by Noosa Coast Guard: this concept, the first of its type to be built on the beaches of Australia, has now paid for itself many times over. The overall cost of $60,000 fades into insignificant when we consider the lives that have been saved as a result of this concept. It is now obvious that with the roving patrols being on the increase, a major factor is now Elevation and Communication. By this we mean high towers, manned by patrol members equipped with radios and the now essential powerful, binoculars and telephones. During the last several months, mother nature has imposed upon us a new sand bank, that during low tide, can be seen stretching west some 100 meters from the Second Point in National Park. With this bank being incredibly shallow at low tide, it becomes something of a novelty attraction for visitors wishing to go wading in the shallow waters: this will sometimes lead to all sorts of problems. In particular when children are involved. It is times like this, that high- powered binoculars become an essential piece of equipment: with these it is possible for the Tower patrol to properly assess the condition of people at the end of the bank. The old days, when those in trouble would raise their hand has for some, become a thing of the past: this is why

binoculars must be top grade. An experienced patrol member, will be quickly able to assess body and head movements and thus evaluate their state of mind: is it panic or play? Many of todays’ procedures would have been impossible in the old days, when lifesavers walked the beaches between the flags, with virtually only the reel, line and belt and a small tower. No radios telephones or binoculars. The first steps towards the Three Tower Concept came in 1978, when as a member of the Australian delegation to the World Lifesaving Congress USA, I was requested by officials of both Sunshine Coast Branch and Queensland State Centre, to have a close look at the American Tower system being used on the famous Huntington Beach: the reason being that visitation of our beaches was on the increase. With this being a reality, our people were starting to look at some type of Extended Bathing reserve, which would see the red and yellow flags greatly extended on selected beaches: this would only occur when beach and safe surf conditions permitted. State officials already had several beaches in mind, one of which was Noosas Main Beach. It was quite obvious, that with Noosas First and Second Points, calm conditions prevailed on most occasions. When this occurs, it would be possible to patrol with one flag in front of the club house and the second in a close proximity of the rock wall. On arrival at the Congress, the team manager made this known to the American delegates and two days later, during a rest break, I found myself in a patrol vehicle with American lifeguards, being driven along the famous Huntington Beach: a beach that extended for 13.7 kilometres. On this vast stretch of beach were thousands of beach goers: and all under

the observation of the tower system. When I remarked on the crowd size the driver replied, “Yeah Aussie but today it’s a bit quiet there is only about 60,000. On a big day there will be upward of 100,000:like we had on Mother’s Day. People everywhere- and,” he added with a laugh, “some of them don’t even speak English.” Stepping out of the vehicle, I walked into the water for a better view and just then I heard a voice behind me say, “I know what thinking. This tower system is perfect for Noosas Main Beach.” On turning, I found it was a team mate and member of National Council(our governing body) Trevor Hoskins of the Gold Coast. “When you get home, get straight on to it-don’t muck around.” Following this, Huntington officials made themselves available for further discussions and also presented me with a set of plans for the construction of the towers. I was totally convinced that this system was the way to go. Study the plans, and make alterations to cover our needs. However, on arriving home I hit a brick wall: it was a “Yank idea” and some officials just were not interested. On presenting my four- page report, I stood stunned as a high-ranking executive, without reading a word, threw it into a rubbish bin, stating as he did so, “Listen mate we teach the Yanks, they don’t teach us.” The years dragged on, then suddenly in 1991, right out of the blue came a phone call from clubmate and Noosa Lifeguard Peter Whadcoat. “Listen mate, are you still interested in that tower system for Noosa Main Beach?’’ Answering in the positive, he then informed me that he had friends who were interested and felt that this time we should get the support. He had held discussions with State Centre, (the governing body of both Lifesaving and Lifeguards) and Coast Guard and their response, was full sup-

port. Three towers were proposed. One tower front of Noosa Club would be manned by the lifesavers, the second on the rock wall, at the end of Main Beach, by lifeguards and the third in the river mouth by Coast Guard. The manning of the third tower in the position suggested, Coast Guard was in complete support. This would give them an all- weather surveillance- second to none of the Noosa Bar. A meeting was called and representatives of all parties involved were named. The group would be known as the Noosa Beach and Bar Safety Committee (N.B.B.S.C.) with representation as followers. Coast Guard, John Mountford (Chairman) Bill Asmar and Bruce Murrie, Noosa Shire Lifeguard Service, Peter Whadcoat and Scott Braby, Noosa Heads S.L.S.C.Doug Barnes and Ron Lane. For the design and construction, local architects Hurst and Harris were named and the appointed builder was H & H Boreham. All towers would contain telephones, binoculars and a radio system that would give direct communication to emergency services such as, Jet Boats, Rescue Helicopters, Police and Paramedics. The modern rescue craft, the Jet Rescue Ski has since been added. The overall tag was $61,480, thus giving an individual cost of approximately $20,000.A major highlight was the fact that all three groups would be working in harmony. Proud to say that no such system exists anywhere else on the Australian Coast. The important factor of Elevation and Communication cannot be stressed enough. All towers should be of a good height, have verandas and be fully equipped with the latest radios. With such a system in place, absolute surveillance for Noosa Beach and Bar, North Shore, plus a section of National Park is now a possibility. The lives saved by this system is now many.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Timor mourns music man Although I had no personal animosity towards HRH Prince Philip – in fact my monarchist mother named me after the playboy Greek naval officer who had recently married the heir to the throne, and I rather admired the old chap’s appallingly inappropriate sense of humour – I thought 2JJJ got their priorities right when they led the news with the death of rapper DMX and slipped Prince Phil in down the line. Besides which, on the same day, along with most of poor little flood-battered Timor-Leste, I was already in mourning for a courageous and spirited man whose small life passed unnoticed outside his beloved island home, but meant so much to those who knew him and his incredible story. Tewantin-based filmmaker Shaun Cairns and I first met Toto Lebre a few years back when we were just starting to film a story about how art and music had made such a significant contribution to the Timor Leste resistance movement, leading to the country’s independence in 2002. Our first point of reference was Toto, then in his early 60s, an amazing multi-instrumentalist who was the youngest member of the groundbreaking Cinco Do Oriente band in the early 1970s, and was by then its sole survivor. Although they played mostly Creedence and Hendrix covers at the start, Cinco had attitude, and they didn’t like being subjugated by the Portuguese, and then by the Indonesians. They were card-carrying members of the Fretilin resistance, and when revolutionary sentiment began to infiltrate their lyrics, three of their members were “disappeared” outside the Hotel Dili after a gig, and were never seen again. Toto, still a teenager, ran for the hills. Toto had just driven 10 hours of bad road from his home in Kupang, West Timor and was exhausted, but we sat in his mother’s tiny courtyard in Dili while I interviewed him on camera through an interpreter. When I asked him about the murder of his band-mates he wept. We all wept that afternoon, then Toto disappeared inside the house and came out with an ancient accordian and played a happy song. Then we sent out for beers and wept again. Although our common language was limited, we formed an immediate bond. At about the same time as Toto was hiding in the mountains in the 1970s, four-year-old Ego Lemos and three siblings were taken by their parents into a hastily-built camp deep in the jungle, where they were to spend the next half-dozen years avoiding militia patrols and living hand to mouth. But malnutrition and bullets claimed most of the family, and only Ego and his mother survived, eventually moving back to a safe house in Dili. By the mid-1990s, the Indonesian occupation force had begun to loosen its ban on Timorese music, and Ego Lemos had formed a band that was soon the most popular in Dili. One night at a gig he was approached by Toto Lebre, who suggested that he call the band New Cinco Do Oriente, and once again carry the resistance flag on stage, at least metaphorically. Frightened of the possible consequences, Ego accepted the challenge anyway, and Cinco was once again the voice of free Timor. In 2019, as Shaun and I approached the end of filming Generation 99, we realised that there were huge gaps in our Timor music archive, so, working with Timorese singer/songwriter Joviana Guterres, I put together a three-hour show at a moment’s notice and on a shoestring budget. The legends of Timorese popular music gathered in front of a small crowd at the rundown Esplanada Hotel on the waterfront, led by the country’s most popular troubadour, Ego Lemos, and its most revered musical pioneer, Toto Lebre. That wonderful afternoon we brought together the surviving members of three generations of bands whose music, banned for many years under occupation, had been the salvation of so many people, the soundtrack of the resistance. Toto never forgot, and he was present a few months later when we premiered our film in Dili during the 20th anniversary of the 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 April, 2021

Tigers eye QAFL victory By Julian Pitts It’s Sponsors Day this Saturday at Roccocos oval as the Noosa tigers take on Gold Coast heavyweights palm beach and look to register their first QAFL win in club history. And more importantly get their season back on track after a heart wrentching 1 point loss at home on Easter Saturday. Palm beach themselves were beaten by Morningside in round one and so too will be eager to snare 4 points at Noosa this Saturday. As mentioned earlier it’s Sponsors Day on the Heads of Noosa brewery lawn which always attracts a terrific crowd and is ripping day. Of course without sponsors our club just couldn’t survive so a massive thank you to all our platinum, gold, silver, bronze, signage and player sponsors for season 2021 and see you down on the lawn this Saturday. The Senior or main game will start at 1 pm followed by our colts at 3.45 pm as the Shane Dawes coached under 18s go for two in a row to start their qafl campaign. Geoff Ogden’s reserves will kick off proceedings at 10.30 am and I’m sure Oggy will have his boys ready and champing at the bit to improve on their first round showing. Back to the seniors and believe it or not back in the Pineapple Hotel cup days Noosa and Palmy developed a fierce rivalry with both clubs competing in big finals games and even two grand finals which were shared one apiece. And to be honest both clubs have continued to consistently contend since in their respective competitions. Roccoco Noosa tigers Senior coach Adam

Bovalino saying, I remember and cherish the rivalry I had as a player with palm beach particularly the 2011 grand final’. But really this week we have concentrated on reviewing and rectifying the things we weren’t happy with 2 weeks ago. The focus is all on Palm Beach and it’s a shame we had the bye because the boys just can’t wait to get back out there and have a crack. I can guarantee the Tiger faithful one thing our pressure and hunt this weekend will be enormous. Noosa again will look to skipper Laskey and team leaders Buntain and Mccrimmon to lead them in the back half whilst Meredith, Stack, Pettigrove and O’Dwyer will be looking to dominate the midfield and give gun forward Wilson opportunity after slotting four goals in an impressive debut at Weyba rd a fortnight ago. All set for another big day on Saturday. Our under 13 youth girls and senior women had practise games against the north shore jets on Saturday with both tiger teams looking impressive and recording solid wins. In particular the outside run carry and take the game on style of the women’s team was a feature with co-captains Cass Young (6 goals) and Eliza Trompf outstanding in the victory. No game this week for our women who begin their premiership defence against Alexander Hills in Brisbane on 24 April. Keep referring to our social media avenues particularly Facebook for all up to date footage, interviews and information and of course see you the footy on Saturday. Go tigers

AUCTIONS A-PLENTY FOR APRIL PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY AUCTIONS have really come into their own in the Noosa market with almost a 100 percent success rate in the past week. Of the 13 properties marketed in Noosa Today 12 of them sold on or before auction day and the other one is under negotiation with conditional interest. The auction success rate comes as buyers and agents scramble to deal with the number of multiple offers being presented. Buyers are looking for transparency in the process and auctions give them that, seeing an open and even forum for determining what market value is. For more than two decades I have been attending auctions, as they give the most immediate look at what the market is doing. It does depend on the properties being presented on the day, the sellers expectations and the agent conducting the campaign. Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

What we are seeing is shorter auction campaigns being run to meet the demand from buyers wanting to secure a property. FIVE FROM FIVE It was an exciting weekend of auction action for Tom Offermann Real Estate, with cashed-up interstate, Brisbane and local buyers splashing out and many missing out on five properties, all sold under the hammer. On Saturday at the Rebekah Offermann and Michael McComas-listed auction of 11 Depper St, Sunshine Beach, more than 130 people lined the verdant nature strips as 12 registered bidders held paddles up high and had their fingers crossed. It was sold for $2.1m, and the Sydneybased vendor was happy to hand over the reins to thrilled local buyers who plan to build a family home. There were close to 100 on-lookers and eight registered bidders at 3 Creek Rd, Noosaville, 84-year-old Una Johns’ home for the past 34 years. The opening bid of $1m advanced quickly to $1.3m. A Brisbane couple with a small bub were ecstatic to have found their Noosa address. Fifty groups inspected the Tracy Russell and Michael McComas-listed, locally owned luxury apartment at 1/80 Peregian Esp, Peregian Beach. The auction attracted 30 people, three bidders were registered, and it was sold for $2.7m. Brisbane buyers intend to use it as a weekender or second home. SUNDAY, SUNDAY On Sunday, Tom Offermann auction action continued its fast pace at the Nic Hunter and Luke Chen-listed 1/18 Munna Crescent, Noosaville, a waterfront townhouse. The beautiful day attracted an audience of 60 who arrived via the front door as well as the beach. There were seven registered bidders, two groups, waist-deep in water listened as auctioneer Gordon Macdonald’s called “sold” at $3.45m. Rebekah Offermann said, “it was a pleasure representing my Melbourne-based clients with FaceTime bidding today, helping

Rick Daniel of Richardson & Wrench Noosa at 3 Natasha Ave, Noosa Heads. 233745 them secure this primo riverfront at Bella Vista.” With a blue-sky dotted with brahminykites, families enjoying activities on the Noosa River foreshore, plus 40 people and seven registered bidders the Eric Seetoolisted, 4/267 Gympie Tce Noosaville, an original from 1972 with amazing views, had all the hallmarks of success. A short, sharp campaign generated plenty of interest and at the short, sharp auction the hammer fell at $915,000. The price exceeded the vendor’s expectations and local retirees were over the moon. FRIDAY ON MY MIND Who said auctions don’t work of a Friday? All four properties offered last Friday sold with good results. If you have the right property at the right price people will put their hand up regardless of the day or time. That’s what Janet O’Brien of Match Property found with 49 and 51 Weyba Esp, Noosa Heads. The creekfront properties have been held in the same family for more than three decades. The 516 sq m of vacant creek-front land was to be auctioned first, then the house - an unrenovated 1983 three-bedroom, twobathroom high-set house on 516sq m. Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald said the level of interest in the properties had meant they could have been sold several times over but the intent was always to go to auction.

As it turned out there were 19 registered bidders for the two properties. Bidding on the vacant block started at $900,000 then $1m before rising in mostly $25,000s from those on the phone as well as on the ground. It sold for $1.415m to local interest. Janet O’Brien said the decision to go to auction was easy as there had been no comparable sales to put a value on the properties. The two-level house saw a start of $800,000 then 900, and 25s to $975,000. The auctioneer called for $1m but got $1.020m instead. That stumped him for a minute but bidding resumed in 20s to $1.180m where it was sold to the under-bidder on the vacant land. AUCTION SUCCESS There are so many benefits to doing auctions on a Friday, according to Jeanette Catalano at Hinternoosa. Jeanette took two properties to the market last Friday - one with colleague Sheridan Hodgetts at 219 Sunrise Rd, Eumundi, and the other with husband Mario Catalano at 39 Racehorse Lne, Lake Macdonald. “We made sure plenty everyone had the opportunity to view the properties prior auction, with weekday evenings and weekend open for inspections,’’ Jeanette said, “then everyone made themselves available on the day to help with the process. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house and shed on 7996sq m at Sunrise Rd sold under the hammer for $1.325m. “It attracted so much interest, mainly due to the location,’’ Jeanette said, “... coastal and Tewantin. “There were four registered bidders, a $900,000 start and all were participating right up until it sold to a family from in the area.’’ The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 1.61ha at Racehorse Lne attracted three registered bidders and spirited activity until it sold at $1.930m. There were coastal and Brisbane bidders with Noosa Heads interest winning.

“They loved it,’’ Jeanette said. “It was everything they were looking for ... the peace, the quiet, and a single-level house.’’ LOCATION THE KEY It took some negotiations but the position and privacy of the four-bedroom, fourbathroom house with pool at 3 Natasha Ave, Noosa Heads, has seen it go under contract. Rick Daniel of Richardson & Wrench Noosa took it to market by tender and as we could imagine, that saw a number of parties respond at the right level. Most were from Sydney and Melbourne but in the end it sold to a Sunshine Coast buyer at an undisclosed price. “It was more than just a house,’’ Rick said. “More important is the location as you literally have only a handful of properties that sit on that ridge line. “There is nothing else quite like it unless you are at Sunshine Beach or on Noosa Sound. “That was the attraction. “Quieter, not the exposure. Purely the location. “There are only a limited number of opportunities to get those views, not just Noosa North Shore but also Noosa’s waterways.’’ A property such as this brings a lot of challenges to bring the sale together but Rick is building a reputation on results, and a solid work ethic. It’s a matter of understanding what vendors go through, as well as the buyers. “There were plenty of hurdles to negotiate,’’ he said. “The key is having a good buyer-audience reach and identify then qualify them, understand their requirements. “That’s the most important thing.’’ STRONG EARLY OFFERS Reed & Co had strong offers early in the auction campaign for the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 12 Wyuna Dve, Noosaville. Yet most interest was conditional so the decision was made to negotiate directly with a price guide of $3m. “It’s one of those great positions,’’ Adrian Reed said, “within walking distance to Hastings St, Noosa Main Beach, Noosa Junction and Gympie Terrace. “It’s a superbly presented residence that is also very private with only one neighbouring property.’’ Selling prior to auction Saturday was the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home by Tim Ditchfield design at 537/61 Noosa Springs

ABSOLUTE NOOSA RIVERFRONT, SPELLBINDING SEASCAPES IF your idea of bliss in the sub-tropics, is an apartment in a quiet location, seemingly perched on manicured lawn, bright whitesand beach, as well as the sparkling aqua waters of the Noosa River, this is your haven. Picture yourself on the north-facing deck enjoying coffee and birdsong, watching kayakers and stand-up paddle boarders, kids splashing in the shallow water, the ever-hopeful throwing a line in from the jetty, while ahead pleasure craft on the main stretch of the Noosa River, head for a day out to the upper reaches and the Everglades. Note the residents-only pool, sun terrace and sub-tropical gardens on the pathway to the apartment at the end of the small complex, which is next to a park. Inside there is a cool-hued contemporary aesthetic and luxe fit-out working in harmony with the dazzling exterior, to achieve a relaxed beach-holiday vibe for the modern family or down-sizer. The generous high-ceilinged living and dining spaces with lime-washed timber flooring, are drenched with natural light. They seem to extend to the over-size timber deck and beyond to the river, thanks

to ‘disappearing’ sliders which have the added advantage of inviting the cool summer breezes indoors. Next to the living area, also enjoying the alfresco aspects of the deck, is the pretty master bedroom with a queen-size bed, built-in robes and ensuite bathroom with double vanity unit. The L-shaped second bedroom also has a queen-size bed with built-in robes plus a single bed. An adjoining family-size bathroom has aqua tiles and a bathtub. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, microwave, oven, and dishwasher plus every culinary necessity to create a fancy dinner, salads to accompany the barbeque or something casual for sundowners. “It’s a 5-minute walk to Quamby Place with its nationally known restaurants,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 24 April 2021, “also take-outs, boutiques and supermarkets, and the Noosa Ferry stop. It is a 15-minute stroll to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach. With bookings yearround and mostly back-to-back, the muchcoveted holiday haven is an unquestionable investment opportunity.” ●

LUMINOUS LITTLE COVE THE luminous turquoise of Laguna Bay and beyond to Noosa North Shore, seemingly just beyond the balcony, is matched by an interior which is as fresh and exhilarating as an early morning swim at Little Cove Beach, two minutes away. The relaxed and beachy look is also elegant and strikes the right balance between spectacular and practical, as evident in the on-trend monochrome palette of white, black and grey in stunning artworks, plus high-end furniture and finishes. Splashes of natural tones such as the washed French oak flooring echo the national park surrounds. The centrepiece of the living space is a custom-made, modish marble dining island, designed to seat eight. It is complemented by an L-shaped kitchen with marble splashback, stainless steel-topped benches and island servery/bar with a wine fridge. Extending the living and entertaining spaces is via an almost transparent connection to a large balcony. It has the perfect northerly aspect, brilliant ocean views and a few steps lead to the residents and visitors only pool and sun terrace. In the south wing the master suite opens
