Making history By Abbey Cannan History has been made in Queensland with the very first meeting of newly-formed Parliamentary Friends of First Nations People. This non-partisan group has been formed as a place to hold important and truthful conversations as everyone - no matter which side of politics they are from - can and should work together towards reconciliation and a prosperous future for all. Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton is one of the six co-chairs of the group, which she says is an absolute honour. “To bring the many diverse viewpoints together in conversations that need to be had,“ Ms Bolton said. “This collaboratively with empathy for both indigenous and non-indigenous Queenslanders as part of moving forward together united.“ The group held its first ever meeting on Tuesday night and Ms Bolton said the goals of the group were simple. “By bringing all political ideologies together outside of Chamber, gives opportunity to identify what contributions can be made, and how, in Queensland’s Path to Treaty,“ she said. “The first gathering was a wonderful start, with MP’s from all sides of the Chamber meeting some of our indigenous businesses, with our very own Terri Waller from SevGen showcasing both product and their new social enterprise of a native foods farm.“ Minister for Communities and Housing, Member for Algester and proud Quandamooka woman Leeanne Enoch said Queensland was home to two of the world’s longest continuous living cultures in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. “For more than 150 years the Queensland Parliament has determined legislation that has impacted First Nations Peoples in ways that have not always been positive - much of which has led to inter-generational trauma that is still being felt today,” Ms Enoch said. “As governments across the nation work to Close the Gap, and Queensland begins our Path to Treaty, it’s more important than ever to foster constructive, non-partisan conversations across Parliament and seek common ground based on a shared understanding.” Member for Cook and proud Kulkalgal woman from the Torres Strait Cynthia Lui said for the first time in history, Queensland currently has three First Nations people hold seats in the Queensland Parliament at the same time. “We’ve come a long way, but there is still more work to do, and this is what the Parliamentary Friends of First Nations People will achieve,” Ms Lui said. “We will put politics aside to help work towards a more inclusive and shared future.”

Council following the Noosa Waters playground revamp. “The park has ignited our community and brought children and adults out of their homes.” Noosaville’s Pandorea Park and Lake Macdonald Playground next to the Botanic Gardens have also gained new play equipment, including climbing ropes, slides

and swings. Council’s Parks and Gardens Coordinator, Matt Hansen, said staff had been busy beautifying the gardens around the revamped playgrounds. “With the three playgrounds now complete, we’ve been tending to the surrounding trees and upgrading the gardens,” he said.

The playground upgrades are among more than 60 projects funded with the $3.8 million Council has received from the Queensland Government’s Unite and Recover and Works for Queensland funding. Other projects recently completed include new amenities and a kitchen at Cooroy Badminton.

Thanks for gift of life By Phil Jarratt It was a reunion a couple of first responders thought would never happen. But for the two surfers who recently survived brushes with death, it was an emotioncharged meeting. Gavin Garps and Bill McLelland, both 67, are well-known local surfers who would have caught their final waves earlier this year after suffering cardiac arrest in the water, had it not been for the quick action and the expertise of the lifeguards and ambulance officers who saved them. Last week at Main Beach Noosa they were reunited while the cameras rolled for the Sunrise program. But it was away from the cameras that the real emotion came out, as Gav, Bill and their grateful partners met and thanked lifeguards James Cervi and John Jones and ambulance officers Annette Morris and Damien Storywood. John, who dragged Bill to shore and applied a defibrillator to bring his heart beat back, said: “It was a pretty close thing. I’m just glad we were successful.” Meanwhile, the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s Adopt a Defib program has been gaining traction, with several businesses and individuals offering assistance, while Noosa Heads Surf Club is planning to add several more defib stations to its stock.

COVID in Noosa wastewater As we crowded together at Anzac Day events, on the beaches and around the villages in what was a very busy long weekend in Noosa it may come as a shock to hear that COVID19 was last week detected in Noosa wastewater. According to Queensland Health a detection may be related to a recovered case who is still shedding but is no longer infectious, or may indicate that there is an infectious person living or visiting the area who has not yet been identified. It was wonderful to see the many thousands of people who attended the dawn services and parades across the shire. I attended services in Tewantin and Cooroy, listened to the heartfelt speeches and saw the joy on peoples’ faces to be able to gather again as a community. It’s fair to say most of us relaxed our guard over the weekend when it came to taking pandemic precautions. This is a stark reminder that we can’t be complacent. Queensland Health advises a wastewater detection of the virus highlights the importance of being tested if you have symptoms of COVID19 and isolate until you get the results. The wastewater surveillance program is conducted by Queensland Health together with researchers from the University of Queensland and the CSIRO.

Nets to stop trash By Margaret Maccoll After seeing an article in Noosa Today (26/3 Clean up your act Noosa) on the amount of rubbish collected in the March clean up from the Noosa River Paul Bentley contacted Noosa Council to provide a solution. Cooloola Cove man Paul Bentley began 10 years ago establishing a way of collecting rubbish from council stormwater drains before it entered the waterways using recycled fishing nets, in an idea inspired by his daughter Atua when the family was picking up rubbish one day from the beach. “My daughter picked up a fishing net and said what can you do with this, dad,” he said. Paul contacted local fishermen who were happy to offload their used nets to Paul instead of paying a fee to dump them at the refuse centre. Through his company Absolute Environment Solutions Paul has devised a way to attach the nets to drain outlets using steel frames. The nets have now been used in their sec-

Clean up your act, Noosa Absolute Environment Solutions nets are catching rubbish before it enters waterways. ond year at Gympie collecting an astonishing 860 kg of rubbish. “They work 100 per cent. They pick up straws, sushi packets, everything and anything. They even catch sediment,“ he said. Paul said after meeting with Noosa Council they decided to trial three nets over 12 months. Paul said his company would maintain the nets, diverting the waste to reuse. He said the sediment was collected to be used for landcare and the rubbish went to the recycle centre.

By Margaret Maccoll After four years auditing the annual clean up at the Noosa River a scientific analysis of results

The rubbish was collected from about 4kms of river and riverfront land, wetlands and bushland in Tewantin from Ferry Park downstream along the River Esplanade,

“root cause of the problem“. “The results indicate carelessness or disregard in the local community about using and disposing of myriad items of “single-use”

ing“ stormwater drains needed conversion to become eco-friendly. Once rubbish entry sources are blocked Peter suggests a major “one-off“ clean up as well

Noosa Council’s environmental services manager Craig Doolan earlier said litter capture devices on stormwater drains could be difficult to install and maintain. “These have been tested previously and unless they are perfectly suited to the location, they tend to be ineffective,” he said. “With community input, if we can find designs for our river that will work, council would be willing to conduct some trials. “We all recognize that litter into the river just has to stop.” Trading Hours: Mon-Sat - 9am to 5pm • Sunday - 10am to 4pm

Good response to council budget By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Council’s inaugural budget community consultation attracted 67 submissions which a Special Meeting held last Friday considered “a good response“ for its first year of operation. The submissions came from people across the shire with demographics showing 90 per cent were over the age of 30, half were women and half were men, 26 were from business owners, most were ratepayers and 99 per cent were residents. Councillors heard infrastructure investment in roads, bridges, parks and mainte-

nance attracted the most submissions with the second most common issue being the environment. There were requests to increase spending of about $200,000 in the budget on infrastructure and 44 of the 67 who made submissions wanted the environment levy to be increased by $15. Noosa Council was only one of three councils across Queensland to conduct community consultation on the 2020-21 budget. Mayor Clare Stewart said the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) was monitoring Noosa’s progress. Councillors agreed all feedback received

would be considered in the upcoming budget. Cr Amelia Lorentson said council had a statutory obligation to engage with the community. “This is how we make better decisions,” she said. The next step in the consultation process will be for council to put together a draft budget and call for public feedback on it from 24 May to 4 June with another Special Meeting to be scheduled for 16 June. Feedback will then be considered by councillors before the budget adoption on 30 June.

Witness plea over assault Police have launched an appeal to find the driver of a car captured on CCTV in the area of where a woman was allegedly assaulted in Noosa Heads on April 18. It will be alleged a 34-year-old local woman was walking down a thoroughfare between Noosa Parade and Hastings Street around 5.20am, when a man not known to her got out of his car and approached. The man then tried to talk to the woman before allegedly grabbing her and attempting to push her to the ground. The woman managed to struggle free and fled to a nearby business where police were immediately called. The man then left the scene in a car. Ongoing investigations by detectives led to the arrest of a 22-year-old Sunshine Beach man who was charged with one count each of assault with intent to commit rape and deprivation of liberty. Police are hoping to find a potential witness, the driver of a dual cab Amarok seen on CCTV braking on Noosa Parade as the man’s car reverses away from the area straight after the alleged assault. A further appeal has been launched to find three women who spoke to the man at a taxi rank on Noosa Drive at around 2.25am. At around 4.35am at the same taxi rank, two men were also given a lift by a man in a car matching the same description as the alleged offender. Detectives are urging all of the potential witnesses to come forward in order to assist with investigations.

Seven arrested in major drug operation

During the searches of the properties police located and seized 13 ounces of cocaine valued at approximately $132,000.

Detectives from the Crime and Intelligence Command’s Drug and Serious Crime Group and the Sunshine Coast District have closed a major operation focused on drug trafficking, resulting in the arrest of seven people on over 40 charges. Operation Sierra Emperor began in September 2020 to target the unlawful sale and distribution of cocaine and other dangerous drugs on the Sunshine Coast. Multiple search warrants were executed at Sunshine Coast locations including Mountain Creek, Kuluin and Palmwoods on April 21 and 22. During the searches of the properties police found and seized 13 ounces of cocaine valued at approximately $132,000 as well as MDMA, steroids and firearms and around $30,000 in cash. A 27-year-old Buderim man was charged

with 15 offences including nine counts of supply dangerous drug (cocaine) two counts of trafficking dangerous drugs and one count each of possess dangerous drug, receive property possessing obtained from trafficking, disobedience to lawful order issued by statutory authority and possess things used in commission of a crime. He is due to reappear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on June 18. A 27-year-old Mountain Creek man was charged with eight counts of supply dangerous drug (cocaine), two weapons offences and one count each of trafficking dangerous drugs and possess anything used in commission of a crime. He is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on May 19. A further four men and a woman were also charged with dangerous drug offences.

MOTHERS DAY SALE

Detective Acting Inspector Steve Thiry of the Drug and Serious Crime Group said the operation is an example of the QPS’s commitment to actively target and disrupt drug trafficking across the state. “These excellent results are the culmination of a seven-month investigation and reflect the close and ongoing collaboration between the State Drug Squad and regional detectives in keeping harmful drugs out of our communities,” Detective Acting Inspector Thiry said. Detective Senior Sergeant Daren Edwards of the Sunshine Coast District said the arrests would significantly impact the supply of dangerous drugs on the Coast. “People who traffic these types of drugs are profiting from the harm caused to not only users but people who are victims of crime as a result of illicit drug supply,” Detective Senior Sergeant Edwards said.

Tourism set to rebound The Queensland Tourism Awards are back and set to be bigger and better than before, as the tourism industry comes together to champion the outstanding achievement and commitment from operators around the state. Reflecting extraordinary industry resilience, the 36th annual Queensland Tourism Awards - hosted by the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) - will return in 2021 and Queensland businesses are being urged to enter and showcase their efforts and resilience over the past two years. Habitat Noosa Managing Director Wade Batty said that the return of the awards offered tourism operators the chance to celebrate their achievements and reflect on the challenges they had overcome. “Entering the tourism awards offers us as operators the chance to measure ourselves against our peers in the market and truly test our strengths and weaknesses,” he said.

Habitat Noosa are excited about the return of the Queensland Tourism Awards. “We were actually halfway through the construction of another 13 Glamping Tents when COVID shut down the business.

“However, in parallel with many other significant improvements the Company embarked on during the COVID lockdown, when the doors re-opened to Queenslanders - we were ready with a refined product offering that appealed to the Domestic Market.” QTIC Chief Executive Daniel Gschwind said that the return of the Queensland Tourism Awards offered tourism operators a chance to come together to celebrate a path to recovery and reflect on the challenges they had overcome. “Tourism remains a driving force for regional economies and communities across Queensland, accounting for one in nine Queensland jobs, and nearly one in six jobs in Far North Queensland1,” Mr Gschwind said. “The return of the Queensland Tourism Awards signals a significant milestone in confidence for tourism - albeit in the domestic forefront for now - and provides the opportunity to support and re- energise the industry

and unify with those who are working hard to rebuild the sector. “Undeniably 2020 was a uniquely challenging year, however, Queensland tourism operators took it in their stride, and we saw the number of Queenslanders taking a trip in their own state soar - with regional Queensland tourism up 12 per cent in December 2020, when compared to the same period in 20192. “One positive legacy of the COVID-crisis for tourism has been a very effective and agile partnership between industry and government. “The Queensland Government has been very responsive with its support measures and we look forward to building on this solid basis.” Nominations for the 2021 Queensland Tourism Awards are open now.

Dune research leads to restoration models along coast By Margaret Maccoll Protecting the coastline, sequestering atmospheric carbon and providing habitat for wildlife, the coastal dunes are important to our existence but because of the human population’s coastal preference much has been cleared. In line with the United Nation’s 2021-2030 decade of restoration, a University of the Sunshine Coast research project is investigating the best way to restore the coastal dune ecosystem. As part of the project PhD candidate Brittany Elliot has been mapping the coastline

from Peregian Beach to Kings Beach at Caloundra to identify the plants and animals that inhabit the area and their optimal location for growth within the dunes. She has surveyed the fauna and flora at 20 sites along coastal stretch, counting both native and invasive species and shared some of her findings last week at Noosa Parks Association’s Friday forum. The results will be used by future restoration projects to inform councils and environmental groups on the optimal locations for plantings and to provide an indication of environmental change and health.

Through her research Brittany has identified key species that are used as indicator species. Among them are the coastal she-oak which she has found thrives best at 60m elevation and within 500m of wetland but does even better 100m from wetland. Pandanus prefers to live at 8m elevation on the fore dunes and does not like wetland. In addition to identifying key tree species, important locations where the highly invasive asparagus fern and glory lily are likely to thrive were also ascertained. Brittany found asparagus fern to be most

prolific at a 30m elevation and was more abundant in national parks than urban areas. By entering her data into computer statistical software she has been able to create restoration models of the region. In a similar way to surveying plants Brittany was collected and counted insects from locations across the research site, discovering an abundance of insect life including numerous jumping spiders. She aims to create a DNA reference library of the coastal dune insects that can be used as a tool to indicate the health of the environment by their existence or absence.

Rowing anchored By Ian Jobling Rowing has been staged at every Olympics except the first Games in 1896. In the results section of the ‘1896 Official Report of the Games of the First Olympiad’ there is one line for rowing: “No rowing events could be held due to adverse weather conditions.” In keeping with the rise of organised competitive sport, which had evolved and developed in the late 19th century throughout the western world, these inaugural Olympic Games in Athens included a wide-range of events. The Games, spread over ten days, included athletics (track and field), cycling (“the chariot-racing of the modern era”), fencing, gymnastics, sailing, shooting, swimming, tennis, weightlifting, and rowing. The swimming events were held on the sixth day. There was no ‘swimming pool as such, so the Bay of Zea, “picturesquely surrounded by the most pleasant part of the city, constitutes a shallow and calm haven, communicating with the seas by the narrow entrance”. Unfortunately, there was no such ‘haven’ for the rowing events, which were to be held on the eighth day (April 1, 1896) at Phaleron Bay. The morning races were to be for sculling and pairs over 2,000m, and fours with rudders over 4,000m. The afternoon events, all over a distance of 2 miles, were for ‘whaling boats’, and ‘outriggers of 16-20 oars, and 10-14 oars’. The ‘Boat Races are described in the “Official Report”: ... Considerable crowds continually came down by the railway and the tram and took up positions on the special jetties. The wind, how-

ever, continually strengthened and the contestants were hesitant in coming forward. In spite of this it was decided that only the four-oared boat contests should take place, and they were transported to Old Phaleron, drawn by steam launches, to the starting point which is marked by the boats of the Syra Rowing Club and that of the Panhellenic Club of Athens. The bad weather, however, turned the sea rough making their rowing impossible. Owing to this, the contest was postponed until 3 p.m. Yet as the bad weather continued up to then, indeed with greater violence, and the boats and barges were swept ashore, the contests both of rowing and the naval boats were definitely cancelled. However, were there really no competitions held? Possibly, the only photograph of rowing in Athens in 1896 is from German photographer Albert Meyer, which shows the German pair Alfred Jaeger and Berthold K&uuml;ttner from the Academic Rowing Club, probably during training in Piraeus. Years later - 1936 K&uuml;ttner wrote: Finally, our day had come! ... The double scull would be the first to start because the wind had become much stronger. On a fishing boat we took our double scull to the starting line. We already had problems getting into the double scull because of the swells. ... no [opponents] had appeared&mdash;although both Greeks and Italians had applied. Because a longer wait for them seemed pointless, the starter told us to sail without competition. K&uuml;ttner claimed they were the winners; but this is still not acknowledged. Of course, at the 2032 Olympic Games,

German rowers Alfred Jaeger and Berthold Kuttner in the double-scull. when (to be positive!) Coastal Rowing is held on Noosa’s Laguna Bay (Main Beach), one of the few north-facing beaches on the coast line of Australia, no such cancellation will occur. The Melbourne Argus reported that the Victorian Rowing Association meeting of October 14, 1895 had received the following: ‘A programme of the Olympic games to be held at Athens in April 1896, was received, with an invitation for the Association to compete in the rowing events’. No Australian rowers were present. It will be fantastic if we are there in 2032, and what a splendid Olympic event that will be.

Rowing titles in Noosa By Jim Fagan The inaugural Australian Coastal Rowing Championships and Beach Sprints are coming to Noosa’s Main Beach on August 21 and 22 and local coastal rowers couldn’t be happier. Last week Noosa Today exclusively reported local rowers were campaigning for the championships as they saw them as the first positive stroke towards their sport coming to Laguna Bay as an Olympic event in 2032. Making the announcement this week, Rowing Australia board director Sarah Cook said, “We’re excited to launch this new type of championships and are looking forward to working with Rowing Queensland to deliver a fantastic event on the Sunshine Coast. “Coastal rowing is continuing to expand globally with its confirmed inclusion in the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, and consideration being made for its inclusion at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. “I’m looking forward to Australia building a base of highly competitive rowers thanks to these championships.” Sarah added that if funding was available Rowing Queensland could secure the event for the Sunshine Coast for 2022 and 2023. RQ Chair, Nick Parr added, “This area of our sport in Australia is in its infancy and RQ recognises its enormous potential. “We have the climate, resources, and existing expertise through our member club Coastal Rowing & Touring Australia and the Noosa community to ensure that the event is successful. RQ will use the event to grow coastal rowing in Queensland.” According to Ian Holzberger, Rowing Queensland’s CEO, Noosa has all the natural attributes needed for a successful championship. The north facing beach provides a manageable surf and a great platform to host the beach sprint and the endurance events. “The backdrop is spectacular and will be a

association, is “thrilled with the wonderful support in Noosa for the bid to bring the championships here in August. “I would like to particularly thank our local MP Sandy Bolton, Mayor Claire Stewart and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie Noosa Surf Life

Review falls short: FPF

Some tricks up his sleeve From page 1 “Many have the idea that skaters just hang around skate parks causing trouble. It will show the world how hard skaters work, and that they are athletes who practise just as hard as other sports people. “It might also help the Australian Councils agree that better and bigger skate parks are an important sports facility to have in their town.“ After getting his first skateboard for Christmas just three years ago, Freddie has practised daily at his local skatepark. “I love having fun with skating and meeting lots of people of all ages,“ he said. “My favourite part is learning new tricks

and then being able to use them as part of a run in competitions.“ Freddie has received amazing support from his school, who allow him time off to train and compete nationally. He said his biggest achievement was winning the U16 National Skate Competition in Mackay and landing a 540 trick on the Mega ramp, a 27ft ramp in Victoria. “My future goals are to keep training hard and competing across Australia. I would love to go to California to skate with some of the best in the world,“ he said. “I look up to Clay Kriener as he is a great skater and role model.“

Community group Flight Path Forum says solutions need to be found urgently as aviation noise impacts on communities escalate. While community feedback on the second draft of the Community Engagement Plan (CEP) closes soon on 30 April, ASA has pushed the timeframe for completion of Phase 1 of the review out to March 2022, with the number of noise monitors available for the review falling well short at only three. “It seems the urgency to progress the Sunshine Coast review has evaporated, after the community was placed under extreme pressure to comment on the third draft of the Terms of Reference and the first draft of the CEP over the busy Christmas holiday period,” Flight Path Forum (FPF) President, Marian Kroon said. “We are grateful ASA has reduced pressure on the community by conducting review activities for noise abatement procedures and community-suggested flight-path alternatives separately, as FPF requested. However, we will be asking ASA to reconsider the timetable to shorten the overall review timeframe, as aviation noise impacts on communities have escalated with flight numbers now exceeding pre-Covid levels. Solutions need to be found urgently.“ Airservices Australia is currently undertak-

ing a feasibility study to identify ‘zones’ for the placement of the very limited three noise monitors to measure impacts on communities affected by the new flight paths implemented when the new $334 million runway opened in June 2020. “Flight Path Forum is pleased ASA will undertake real time ‘noise monitoring’ as suggested by our group, rather than their proposed ‘noise modelling’, but is shocked ASA has only allocated three monitors to the study,” Ms Kroon said. “This is completely inadequate given the significant number of communities affected over a large geographical area. The noise monitoring done as part of the Environmental Impact Study in 2014 used 12 monitors. We will request ASA allocate additional monitors. “We are also disappointed no community consultation will occur in relation to the identification of these ‘zones’ for the placement of noise monitors. FPF has requested information on the criteria being applied by ASA to identify the ‘zones’ and an opportunity to provide input into the feasibility study.“ ASA has stated it will engage with the community in relation to placement of the “three” monitors within the ‘zones’ it identifies.

Our lifestyle under threat By Jim Fagan Australia’s idyllic lifestyle was under direct threat for the first time in our lifetime from an aggressive and expansionist China, Air Marshall Geoff Shepherd AO said at the Anzac Day Dawn Service at Verrierdale on Sunday. “Cyber intrusions, trade retaliations, culture bending and the like means that all of us are effectively on the front line.” The former chief of the Royal Australian Air Force, who was guest speaker, said: “Our lifestyle and our right to exist as a pluralist and liberal democracy is not automatically guaranteed.” “Australians today face very different challenges than those faced by preceding generations. “Wokeness, cancel culture, climate activism, the erosion of our democracy and escalating grey-zone warfare are not anywhere near as yet threatening as the carnage of WW1 nor the fight against facism in WW11. “These are our today challenges, difficult though they may be to visualise while we live safe and in peace in this beautiful area.” Air Marshall Shepherd said Australia also celebrated ANZAC day under the shadow of serious public and official concern, and even some disgust, at the alleged behaviour of some of our Special Forces over than more a decade in Afghanistan. “The Government and Defence will rightly and scrupulously examine all allegations of war crimes over more than a decade in Afghanistan and, if proven, will take appropriate action. I have no doubt of that. “Our Australian servicemen and servicewomen have never sought, nor glorified war and all its horrors. “The gallant actions and sacrifices of many hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sailors and aviators must not be besmirched by the alleged actions of a few.

Picture: JIM FAGAN “But consider this, we first went to war in Afghanistan in 2001 - it has been our longest conflict. A conflict largely ignored by us here comfortably at home. ”This was a dirty and ambiguous war amongst the long-traumatised peoples of that very divided country. “There were no clear front lines, no uniformed or even identifiable enemy; an enemy who did not abide by any of the hard-won ci-

vilised rules that attempt to govern and ameliorate warfare. “Successive Governments of both political persuasions repeatedly redeployed the Special Forces to that conflict - why? “Because it was seen by Governments that the Special Forces carried less risk - less casualties, less body-bags to come home and thus less public pushback.

“The regular Army was not deployed in formed fighting units, nor were other viable military options accepted by Governments of the day. The Special Forces were always the fall-back choice.” Air Marshall Shepherd said: “So we had young men, mostly in their 20’s, being deployed up to seven or eight times over more than a decade of their lives in a vicious and unconventional war. “A war that saw regular and intense combat and which involved, as a former Chief of Army told me, killing terrorists in industrial quantities. “Even off-mission they were isolated in protected forts where the risk of internal attack from their Afghani allies was always present. “Today’s delicate zeitgeist through social and regular media condemns them for boorish and sexist pranks more worthy of a football club’s Mad Monday. “Careers and reputations are being destroyed in this naive and overly-politically correct pile-on without due process being afforded. “All this without regard for the harm, the moral desensitising and the mental damage we, through our elected Governments, have done to these young men.” Air Marshall Shepherd said Australia needed to consciously try to understand what it really meant to commit our forces to armed conflict. “Whilst always upholding the enduring values of honourable conduct, we should not judge our warriors through the lens of our cosy, safe and somewhat-cosseted daily lives here at home. “We will have need of these hard soldiers again.” Air Marshall Shepherd lives in Eumundi and also spoke at the Eumundi Anzac Day Observance.

Rotarians ride for cause By Abbey Cannan Rotarians have embarked on a 4500km ride and drive in the Get Your Bum Into Gear Queensland tour in aid of bowel cancer awareness. The Queensland Police Union and Queensland Rotary joined forces in the fight against the disease, with Kits for Cops being distributed at police stations along the way. Cyclist Mal Pagett rode through Noosa on Friday and was met by the support of local Rotary Club members, Noosa Councillor Karen Finzel, and Noosa Police Officer in Charge Ben Carroll. Mal said the cause was close to his heart as his brother died from bowel cancer at age 47. “He had three kids, and just this year his two daughters are having babies,” he said.

“So he has missed out on all that and I watched him work really hard to try beat cancer to see these moments. “John, my colleague here, he had bowel cancer 15 years ago. So he’s trying to prevent people from going through what he did and I’m trying to prevent people from going through what my family experienced and still do.” Noosa Police Officer in Charge Ben Carroll said he personally knew colleagues who had suffered from bowel cancer. “Some are currently undergoing treatment for that as well, so from my perspective as an Officer in Charge of a large group of people, it’s important that I keep them well and this is one good way of going about that,“ he said. “Our Queensland Police Union, in which I

am a member, are proud sponsors of Kits for Cops and in particular I suppose the demographic for police well and truly fits into this with a lot of our officers over the age of 30.” Rotary Noosa Heads Bob Birkhead encouraged people aged 50-74 to take advantage of the free government test kit. “Let’s face it, it does impact everyone and the sooner that people start to take their health seriously the better,” Bob said. Rotary Bowlescan Queensland are giving away 750 free test kits along the journey and encouraging those under 50 or over 75 to buy one of the discounted kits during the BowelscanQLD campaign.

Time to grab life by the short and curlies By Abbey Cannan

Men’s mental health charity Grab Life By The Balls has launched a new group at Peregian Beach.

A Sunshine Coast men’s mental health charity has launched a new group at Peregian Beach, with the local bakery getting behind the cause. Grab Life By The Balls was created with the mission to champion the positive and proactive benefits of mateship for men’s mental health, creating a cultural shift in Australia. Organisation founder and Sunshine Coast local Sam Parker said they were taking the movement on a national tour to launch groups around Australia, including one that recently opened in Peregian Beach. “We already have about seven locations and it would be great to grow that to 100,” he said.

The charity creates events for blokes, from all walks of life to connect, hang out and be themselves. “We are championing the overwhelming evidence of the positive and proactive qualities that social connection brings to individuals and communities,” Sam said. “Social isolation is a factor when it comes to mental health. We need proactive strategies alongside crisis and prevention care when it comes to men and suicide.” The local group, which runs every Thursday morning from 6.30am at the Peregian Beach Bakery, stemmed from an initiative created by Pyney’s Pie Day. “Pyney’s a Noosa local and he does pie reviews and he got a bunch of bakeries around Australia to donate $1 to us or another charity

for every pie they sold,” Sam said. “So then Peregian Beach Bakery were just amazing and really got into it and wanted to know more about what we did. “The team has been wearing our shirts and they’re just a really good bunch of people to be involved with.” Sam said he encouraged all local men to grab their mates and get down there every Thursday to have a chin wag. “It’s simple. It’s relaxed. Just come and be yourself,” he said. “If anyone wants to run an event in Noosa that would be grouse.” The Peregian Beach Bakery is located at 10 Kingfisher Dr, Peregian Beach.

World Koala Day is soon “Wild Koala Day” on Monday 3 May, is your chance to see, cuddle and learn about our disappearing koalas at Wildlife HQ , the lovely sanctuary, next to the Big Pineapple on the Nambour Connection Road at Woombye. Unless you know how and where to look or are very lucky, you will rarely see a wild koala now on the Sunshine Coast. In preBushfire and Covid years, The Queensland Koala Crusaders held a popular guided walk through Noosa National Park to celebrate “Wild Koala Day” but photographer Bernard Jean reports there are none currently living there. The drought years followed by the bushfires on the Coast saw our surviving koalas finding fewer and fewer food trees available

due to the massive road and commercial construction taking place on the Coast. Even some private homeowners were removing precious trees to improve their views or extend homes. “Wild Koala Day” at Wildlife HQ from 10 am to 2 pm is a wonderful chance to experience closeness with koalas, to ask questions, learn fascinating facts, see how you can help to save our wild koalas for the next generation and make this a day to remember. You can have a beautiful photo taken with a koala or with Gu’la the Queensland Koala Crusaders’ giant mascot and take home a cuddly koala toy. Of course you will also meet the other wildlife friends of the koalas at the sanctuary.

The son in her heart No one could ever say that Betty Rowe had it easy, raising six children in the bush from the 1950s, one of them with Down syndrome. But Betty always looked for the positives in the challenges she faced, and perhaps the greatest of these has been helping her now adult son, Peter, find his voice. Together, this courageous mother and son have written an inspiring and heartwarming book called The Sun In My Heart, which will be presented by Peter Rowe and his facilitator Tracey Wiggins at a very special author night with wine and cheese at Peregian Beach Community House next Thursday. Today, Peter, despite his disability, is a professional artist, poet and author, living a fulfilling life thanks in no small measure to Betty’s faith and unfaltering love. In 2002 Peter Rowe became the whistle blower on one of the worst cases of institutional sexual and emotional abuse in Queensland, perhaps Australia. But this is not a negative or depressing book – far from it. Peter is non-verbal, but communicates brilliantly through Facilitated Communication, largely with his facilitator Tracey. He says proudly on his website: “I am an author, illustrator, artist, presenter and motivational speaker, and yes, I also just happen to have Down syndrome. I am not ashamed of having Down syndrome, nor do I feel limited or defined by this, in fact I think it is very important to embrace who you are and what makes you different.” What makes Peter different is the extraordinary range of creative skills that have enabled him to publish eight successful children’s books, and speak so courageously about his

ANZAC DAY 2021

A sombre dawn service Amid the early morning greeting from lorikeets and kookaburras it was only the sound of a lone bugler that could be heard at dawn in the township of Tewantin on Anzac Day despite the many thousands of people who congregated up and down the streets. It was a sombre occasion for the crowd who came to witness the annual ceremony. The numbers of people who made the effort was a reflection of how dear we hold Anzac Day in our hearts. It’s an Australian tradition that should not subside, the crowd was told.

Veterans lead the Cooroy Anzac Day parade.

School children return the tablets representing 81 local people who gave their lives in war.

Cooroy parade unites us By Margaret Maccoll Sadly WWII Women’s Australian Auxiliary Airforce (WAAF) centenarian Wilma (Billie) Ayles was not well enough to join the Anzac Day parade last Sunday but thousands came to cheer on the veterans and other participants in the Cooroy-Pomona RSL Sub-branch event. Among those attending was Dennis Thompson (known as Thommo) who was one of only two people in Australia named Anzac of the Year for their service to veterans and the community. In 2010 Dennis began ferrying veterans to appointments and services such as doctors’ appointments. Over the years he has assisted veterans in accessing their welfare entitlements and expanded the voluntary transport service to members of the community. Now with two vehicles and two drivers the

service last year covered more than 27,000km. “We have a lot of elderly who need some sort of transport,“ he said. School children representing schools across the shire also joined in the parade to walk for those who had given their lives in conflict. The children carried tablets containing the names of 81 local people who had lost their life in war. Club president Patricia Geelan thanked those who attended to pay their respects to those who had served or sacrificed their lives for our country. “It’s lovely after COVID to see so many people out there,“ she said. “It’s a very important day in the community. There are very few people who don’t know someone or have had someone in their family who has served their country.“

Praise for the veterans.

The crowd cheered as the parade passed by.

Two Rival Medallists - and good friends, Tsuyoshi Yamanaka and John at the Swimming Training Centre in Rome in 1960.

Ian Jobling and John Konrads who signed 1960 Rome Olympic Games posters for a charity in 2019.

NEWS

Konrads to miss Olympics By Ian Jobling Olympian and Noosa-resident John Konrads (May 21, 1942 - April 25, 2021) had a close link with Tokyo because of a friendship which began when he was selected at the age of 14 in the Australian Swimming Team for the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Although he did not get to swim at those Games, John met Japanese distance-swimmer, Tsuyoshi Yamanaka, who came second to Murray Rose in both the 400m and 1500m Freestyle. John’s friendship with Yamanaka and his love of Japan prevailed throughout his life. Yamanaka died in 2017, aged 78. They began their rivalry when they competed against each other in Japan after John had ‘scooped the pool’ at the 1958 Cardiff British Empire and Commonwealth Games, and returned via Japan en route to Australia. John recalled, “Beating him in Tokyo, we went to

Osaka and the world’s biggest swim stadium of all time with 25,000 seats. The atmosphere was electric. Spectators all wore white shirts; no women of course. I won the 400 and 1500 and he won the 200, in a new World Record! The crowd went wild!” The swimming program at the 1960 Rome Olympics commenced immediately after the Opening Ceremony and the Australian officials would not allow the swimmers to march in to the Stadium. However, John was part of an unofficial ‘Opening Ceremony staged at the Athlete’s Village. The males, dressed in shorts and ties without shirts and the females in shorts and blouses, brandished ‘flags’ - their swimming costumes tied to the top of sticks. They swimmers then marched in a straggling group behind the official Australian team as they boarded buses to the Stadium. Konrads, Yamanaka, and Murray Rose were the three favourites for both the 400m and

1500m Freestyle events. However, Konrads was breaking records regularly, and there was much pressure on this 18-year old. The American publication, Time Magazine possibly placed added pressure when they hailed Jon (yes, they spelt it ‘Jon’) Konrads as the greatest swimmer in history. Referring specifically to the 1500m Freestyle as the “prestige” race of the Olympics, the journalist commented “the 18-years-old swimming ace from Sydney ‘gulps as many as 18 vitamin tablets before a race, treats distance events as sprints, and holds seven world records.” The 400 m results were: Rose first, Yamanaka second, Konrads third. John’s coach Don Talbot said to him post-race, ‘Tough luck, boy, now for the 1500 metres on Friday night ... ’. Konrads has recalled that he knew he was going to win the 1500m before he dived in. He touched in a time of 17 min 19.6 - close to his

own word record (17:28.7): “My overall feeling was one of relief. I was the favourite for the event and both my sister Ilsa and I still held many world records, but the gold medal at the Olympics was my real objective. Yes, I held many world records, but winning Olympic gold was a wonderful feeling of relief, as well as achievement, along with pride in my adopted country. Yes, I was a very proud Australian.” Some time ago, John approached Ian Jobling to co-write a biography. John’s health problems have delayed progress with research and writing. Ian will continue with the research and writing of the co-authored book, which may be titled, ‘John, A Konrads Kid’. Ian Jobling is Honorary Director, UQ Centre of Olympic Studies, and Honorary Associate Professor, School of Human Movement and Nutrition Studies, University of Queensland.

ROCKETMAN NINE, 8.30pm

Epic is one way to describe this excellent biopic on legendary singer Elton John. Beginning at a crucial crossroads in the singer’s life, the ﬁlm then backtracks to tell the story of his meteoritic rise to fame, where he cemented himself as one of the greatest showmen of the past 60 years. A brilliant Taron Egerton (left) brings the great man to life in all his technicolour sequinned goodness, while a grown-up Billy Elliot (Jamie Bell) plays his lifelong friend and collaborator Bernie Taupin. v

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE 7MATE, 8.45pm

TUESDAY

BIG BROTHER

Director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, producer of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch) takes the reins for this big-budget British spy-action ﬂick. Colin Firth (above) plays Harry Hart, a veteran secret agent tasked with showing young recruit Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton) the ropes. But it wouldn’t be an action ﬂick without a bad guy – enter Samuel L. Jackson as a twisted evil genius intent on wreaking havoc. Michael Caine, Mark Strong and Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill also make an appearance in this worthy adaptation of the comic book from Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar.

SEVEN, 7.30pm

Whether you label it voyeurism, a comprehensive insight into human psychology, or simply a fun game, there’s something addictive about Big Brother. Having the unﬂappable and stylish Sonia Kruger as host only adds value to Seven’s ultracompetitive iteration of the ﬂy-on-the-wall reality staple. Strategy, physical strength and endurance are key in a game where the power shifts each and every day. Tonight, Surprise Week comes to an end with the biggest shock of all when Big Brother reveals his secret attic. But the drama doesn’t end there: after a double elimination leaves one alliance in tatters, the housemates face a crucial nomination challenge in “Drop and Pop”.

If any program should take the gong as Australia’s most cheerful and fun TV show, this is it. There are diehard LEGO fans aplenty, including the show’s contestants, but even ordinary folk who have never lifted a LEGO block in their lives enthusiastically get behind this wholesome competition. With a kaleidoscope of colourful blocks as a backdrop, and mirthful comedian Hamish Blake (pictured) as host, it’s a winner. Season three has arrived like a charm, and tonight the teams must build something that ﬂoats. Not only that, it must suspend from a hot-air balloon for 10 seconds. Judge Ryan “Brickman” McNaught is treated to some spectacular creations. Hamish Blake is the aﬀable host of LEGO Masters

Where Dreams Come True

It’s a holiday every day when at home Hidden away in a secluded, leafy enclave overlooking one of Australia’s finest golf courses is a residential precinct which is home to more than 600 people who believe they are the luckiest home owners in the country. Noosa Springs is a world-class gated community made up of beautiful Tuscan-styled homes designed to meld with the environment, where residents enjoy each other’s company in a peaceful and secure setting. Talk to any of these residents and they’ll tell you that, apart from the beauty of the gardens and the friendliness of their neighbours, the best part about living at Noosa Springs is the security of knowing they are safe. The gatehouse is manned 24 hours a day and has proved so successful that there hasn’t been a break-in or burglary in the estate’s 25year history. “It’s a tight little community and we love the security gate,” said Ross McGilvray, who bought a Noosa Springs villa off the plan 25 years ago. “It provides us with peace of mind and when we go out we don’t even have to lock the doors.” The residences are built around the beautiful Noosa Springs golf course, rated each year among the country’s top 100 courses, and ad-

jacent to the wonderful Noosa Springs Golf and Spa resort. Many of the residents are resort members, able to play the course whenever they wish, with ready access to facilities like the worldclass day spa, fine restaurant and bar, fitness centre, tennis courts and swimming pool. IT consultant Ben McCulloch, who bought a villa in The Points precinct two years ago, said his entire family made use of the facilities. An 11-handicapper, he regularly plays golf with his son James, a promising 11-year-old, while his wife Lucie loves the hydro-pool at The Spa. “It’s like being on holidays all the time,” Lucie said. The estate’s landscaped gardens and roads are impeccably maintained, and a joy to drive or cycle through. Lush sub-tropical vegetation attracts the occasional kangaroo or koala, and a wonderful array of birdlife. Residents speak of the warmth and friendliness of their neighbours, and of the wonderful community spirit that flourishes behind Noosa Springs’ gates. “Many residents are members of the resort and play golf,” said Gil Hoskins, chairman of the Community Body Corporate. “Every Friday afternoon they get together, play nine holes

of golf, then enjoy a glass of wine in the clubhouse.” There are two community swimming pools in the estate - one of them a 25m resort-style pool surrounded by stunning landscaping where residents gather for Christmas parties, Australia Day activities and other social occasions. Part of the attraction of living at Noosa Springs is that it’s so close to everything. Sunshine Beach is a five-minute drive, as is Hastings St, the surf beaches and Noosaville. And the outstanding Noosa Springs Golf and Spa resort is within walking distance though many residents choose to make the short journey in their golf cart. Elise Pascoe, a newcomer to Noosa Springs, can’t get over the friendly welcome she received when she arrived from Melbourne in January. “Within two days fellow residents were coming to my door asking me if there was anything they could help with. A neighbour asked me to join them for coffee. It was just lovely.” “It’s so beautiful here,” she said. “I certainly landed on my feet when I came here.”

World class precinct Before it became Noosa Springs, it was an area of overgrown trees and swamps on the banks of shallow Lake Weyba, with some cleared land that was used as a place to breed quarter horses. Owned by John and Donna Hoffman, Weyba Ranch hosted the annual Noosa picnic races - a social highlight for Noosa trendsetters who trekked into the wilderness each year in their finery. But by 1992, the property had fallen into receivership and Noosa architect and developer Alan Starkey - with a dream in his head to create a residential golf course development like no other in Australia - bought 103ha of land, surrounded by Crown land and national parks. Mr Starkey’s vision was to establish a world-class residential precinct made up of beautiful homes, designed to meld with the environment; a superb golf course carved out of the bushland; and a splendid resort offering the sort of activities that would make living at Noosa Springs a joy. Above all, he wanted to create something unique - to pursue a level of excellence that would deliver a development that would stand the test of time and of which Noosa would be proud. He travelled the world, inspecting the best examples of golf-based residential developments, then sat down and drew up a master plan. It specified and positioned the various stages of the residential development - even the number of homes in each precinct. As Noosa Springs took shape over the next two decades, it followed almost every line of that original master plan, testament to Alan Starkey’s skill as an architect as much as to his vision. Noosa Springs grew to become one of the best golf-based residential communities in the country, the golf course one of Australia’s finest, and Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort an integrated resort of national significance. Alan Starkey and his son Phillip are particularly pleased with the community they have been able to nurture, describing the residents of Noosa Springs as a family. “We’ve been able to create a social atmosphere,” Alan Starkey says. “There are different opportunities - golf, tennis and the like - for people to come together, and enjoy themselves as a community.” The Starkey family sold Noosa Springs to a Hong Kong developer in 2014. The current owner, Noosa Springs Investment Pty Ltd, is an offshoot of major Hong Kong-based real estate and resort developer Golden Horse Nine Dragon Lake Holdings. But they remain closely involved in Noosa Springs and its activities, and are justifiably proud of their role in creating such an extraordinary legacy.

Enjoy all the good things As you drive along the charming, tree-lined avenue that takes you to the Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort you know you’ve arrived at a very special place. Almost without thinking about it, you relax and take it all in. Through the trees, you’ll glimpse a group of golfers making their way up the 10th fairway - enjoying the experience of playing one of Australia’s finest championship courses. Then you come to the focal point of the resort - the beautiful Tuscan-styled buildings that accommodate the Golf Shop, one of Australia’s best day spas, Relish restaurant, the bar and Noosa Springs’ function rooms. Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort is a fully integrated, vibrant playground for people looking to enjoy the good things life has to offer. Best of all, it’s not just for those fortunate people who are members. Noosa Springs welcomes visitors and guests, and always makes them feel welcome. It’s as if the staff know they are stewards of something exceptional, and they want to share it with as many people as possible. The Spa, inspired by ancient Roman and Greek traditions and based on European aqua therapy experiences, is all about pampering, good health, and feeling relaxed and fulfilled. It is staffed by highly qualified therapists whose aim is relax the senses and nurture the body, mind and spirit. Noosa Springs’ award-winning restaurant, Relish, specialises in a mixture of delicious Mediterranean and Asian cuisine, and offers seasonal lunch specials at value-for-money prices. There’s a well-equipped fitness centre, tennis courts, and a Golf Shop that not only stocks all the equipment you would expect to find in such a facility, but offers a shopping opportunity not to be missed. Its appeal is largely a result of the talents of buyer Kerrie Stewart, who has been stocking the Golf Shop with bags, purses, belts, hats, shoes and sports and designer leisure apparel for the past 20 years. Apart from the quality golfing ranges of Calvin Klein, Oakley, Greg Norman, Footjoy, Corsican Golf and Daily Sport, the Golf Shop also stocks the latest Ralph Lauren and Under Armour apparel. But it’s the golf course that brings golfers to Noosa Springs. It is an 18 hole, par 72 golfing wonderland, with immaculate fairways, sparkling waterways, tropical trees and bushland. It’s not particularly long, but it is tight - and there is enough water in play to capture the attention of the most accomplished player. Play to your handicap, and you’re entitled to a celebratory post-game beer at the terrace bar overlooking the beautiful course. Noosa Springs offers a tranquil setting for wedding ceremonies, and with its unique photographic locations, great service, deli26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 April, 2021

Relish some family time YOUNG James McCulloch had spent months playing and practicing at Noosa Springs beautiful golf course before he summoned the courage to march into the Golf Shop and ask for a handicap so he could play in club competitions. The Sunshine Beach State School student had clearly been showing some promise and was allocated a starting handicap of 20. He promptly put his name down for the following weekend’s event - as it happened, the first round of the 2020 club championship. Ten-year-olds don’t have nerves, so playing in such a prestigious event didn’t faze James in the slightest. He shot four excellent rounds of golf and found himself runner-up in the C grade division. Not quite as good as his dad Ben, perhaps, who was the B grade champion last year, but pretty good for a youngster making his debut in club competition golf. Since then James’ game has improved even further, he’s playing off a handicap of 17, and is a regular campaigner in junior tournaments throughout the Sunshine Coast. James, now 11, his brother Ryan, 8, and their parents, Ben and Lucie, have been living at Noosa Springs since early last year. Before buying their villa, situated in The Point precinct, the McCullochs had rented a furnished home at Noosa Springs, and loved it. “We told ourselves that if anything came onto the market we’d buy it,” Lucie said. “Then, the family living here decided to move to Melbourne, and we were lucky enough to get this place.” Ben McCulloch is an IT consultant and works from home - a circumstance that allows him to spend a good deal of time with his family, and enjoy the facilities provided by the adjacent Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort.

They regularly play tennis, Ben and James stroll the fairways together, and Lucie enjoys the hydro pool at the day spa. “It’s like being on holidays all the time,” Lucie said. She said Noosa Springs, with its Tuscanstyle architecture, tree-lined avenues and beautiful gardens, reminded her of Europe, where she and Ben first met in 1999. Ben was sent to Germany for IT training and Czech-born Lucie was studying when they met at a nightclub in Munich. They kept in touch and when Ben returned two years later they met up again - this time for good. The McCullochs were living at Peregian Springs in 2018 when they decided on a lifestyle change. They sold their home, took the children out of school and travelled throughout Europe for 14 months. When they returned to Australia they began their love affair with Noosa Springs. “It’s not like living in the suburbs,” Ben said, gazing at the 16th fairway of the golf course which runs adjacent to their back garden. “Everything’s close by - the shops, the school, the library - and the boys get to use the resort facilities. Kids’ membership is so cheap.” Lucie has established a studio in the garage where she makes ceramics which she hopes one day to sell. “We have lovely neighbours and everyone is friendly,” she said. “There are so many talented people living here. Reyna, one of our close neighbours is an expert in violin and gives Ryan weekly lessons.” The McCullochs all ride bikes and often cycle to Noosaville, to Noosa’s beaches, or to access the national parks. “It’s quiet here, and with the security gate manned all the time we always know we’re safe,” Ben said.

Born to have fun

Ross and Caroline McGilvray relax at their delightful Noosa Springs home.

The day Prince Philip really let fly It was almost a ‘state of origin’ contest when two polo teams lined up in a remarkable match at Goondiwindi in 1968. Leading the NSW team was Sinclair Hill, Australia’s best ever polo player, while the Queensland star was Hill’s brother-in-law Ross McGilvray, a sixtime Australian representative. But these two wonderful polo players weren’t the reason the entire population of the iconic border town turned out to watch this particular match. The attraction was Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who had been seconded to play for NSW, and it was the Queen’s husband, an accomplished defender, who lined up on goal shooter McGilvray as play began. Ross, now retired and living quietly at Noosa Springs, chuckles as he recalls the Duke immediately galloping into the action and letting fly with a shot that flew over one of the goal posts. The officiating goal umpire, a local grazier dressed in his best suit, pondered for a moment, then declared the ball had missed, prompting Prince Philip to shout: “Do I have to supply you with glasses?” “Oh, he could be blunt,” said Ross. “But the Duke was great company, told very funny stories and was always the life of every party.” Ross - the son of legendary cricket commentator Alan McGilvray - became good friends with several of the Royals, including Prince Charles and Prince Harry, with whom he played golf at Noosa Springs during Harry’s gap year here in 2003. Harry had spent most of his Queensland stay working as a jackaroo at Tooloombilla, an 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 April, 2021

Injune property owned by Sinclair Hill’s son Noel and his wife Annie, who had been a friend and flatmate of Lady Diana, Harry’s mother. Ross McGilvray and his wife Caroline have enjoyed an association with Noosa that goes back to their honeymoon 60 years ago, spent in a self-contained apartment in a very quiet Hastings St. They returned regularly and, when the first Noosa Springs villas were offered for sale about 25 years ago, they bought one off the plan. The couple first met when Ross, prompted by some university friends whose parents owned rural property, applied to become a jackaroo on Leslie Hill’s 32,000 acre property, Terlings, near Moree. Caroline was Leslie’s daughter, and Sinclair’s sister. Ross worked as jackaroo for three years at Terlings, then took a job as ‘sub-overseer’ at Sinclair Hill’s 8000 acre property at Willow Tree. “I was really the groom for Sinclair’s polo ponies, but the title ‘sub-overseer’ sounded a little better,” he said. Along the way love grew, and Ross and Caroline were married in May, 1961. Ross borrowed from his father and bought a 3000 acre property next door to Terlings which they called Calrossie. “When we moved in, there was no bathroom and we heated water in the laundry,” he said. “We vowed there’d be no children until we got a bathroom.” For many years Ross was the manager at Terlings as well as running his own property next door. He recalls that dinner at Terlings was always a formal affair, to which the property’s jackaroos were always invited as long as

they wore a jacket and tie. “They were tutored on the correct way to dine, which knife and fork was to be used for which course, and always reminded that the plates, once used, were never to be stacked. “On one occasion Prince Philip was a guest at Terlings and he, of course, joined us for dinner. The evening was a great success until, near the end, the Duke took it upon himself to collect the used dishes and stack them before they were taken to the kitchen. “Everybody was stunned for a moment, then collapsed with laughter. The Duke had no idea what had just happened.” Caroline said Ross was ‘fantastic’ with horses - particularly in breeding and training nimble polo ponies, many of which he later sold to Kerry Packer, who developed a passion for polo, and became a highly proficient player. Indeed, Packer’s favourite polo pony Onassis was one of Ross McGilvray’s horses, and the two mates - horse and rider - were buried alongside each other after their deaths. Ross McGilvray, Sinclair Hill and Packer became partners in the purchase of two 130,000 grazing properties near Mitchell in southwestern Queensland. He later quit the partnership and bought another property near Mitchell called Womblebank. “While all this was happening we came to Noosa Springs whenever we could,” he said. “It’s a tight little community and we love the security gate. It provides us with peace of mind and when we go out we don’t even have to lock the doors. “And the people are wonderful. They all have great stories to tell,” he said.

They’re all on the wrong side of 60 and share a passion for music - even though some of them didn’t know they had much of a talent for it until quite recently. They’re members of a unique community band called Rusty Springs formed over a glass or three of wine - that has become a popular feature of many a Noosa Springs social gathering. One of the driving forces behind the group is the band’s ‘manager’ Tony Buss, who did not let his lack of musical experience stand in the way of joining the group. He bought a guitar, took lessons and, before long, was playing and singing along with his mates. Tony said he knew there were several Noosa Springs members who had been musicians - Ross Gilles, for example, who had played guitar in bands, and Jeff Yancey, who was a keyboard player in a band when he was younger. Then there was Mike Weston, who once sang in a church choir when he was a youngster in the US, and who fancied himself as a karaoke singer. So, a month after they made that decision to have fun with their music, Rusty Springs - comprising a retired drug company CEO, a sparky, an insurance broker, an IT specialist, an air traffic controller, an engineer and a chemical plant technician - played in public for the first time. It was the annual Christmas barbecue for Noosa Springs’ residents. “We could play only three songs, had no drummer and no base guitar, and our performance lasted just 10 minutes,” Tony recalls. “But the crowd of about 300 people went crazy.” They still remember the songs they performed that day - Pretty Woman, Brown Eyed Girl and Honky Tonk Woman. Encouraged by the crowd reaction, Rusty Springs decided to make another appearance at a function scheduled for after golf on Australia Day. They were again greeted with enthusiastic applause. During Christmas they recruit Eamonn Owens, another Noosa Springs resident, who played drums 40 years ago in England. And their repertoire has grown to 30 songs. Steve Small (rhythm guitar) and John Glasby (rhythm guitar) make up the current lineup. The band likes to play rock and roll songs that are recognisable, and to which people can dance. They practice in Jeff Yancey’s garage and appreciate that they have supportive neighbours. Rusty Springs has already performed at the clubhouse, at the barbecue area by Lake Weyba and by the Palms pool. “It’s a wonderful example of the great community spirit that exists within Noosa Springs,” Terry said.

Elise finds her paradise After spending seven long and lonely months in lockdown in a Melbourne retirement village last year, Elise Pascoe was counting the days until she could start the rest of her life in her new dream home at Noosa Springs. She was due to fly out of Melbourne on January 13 but, as she watched television a week earlier, she heard Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk warn Queenslanders to return home as the borders may be shutting. At 8am next morning she had a COVID-19 test, at noon she received confirmation that it had proved negative, and by the afternoon she was aboard a jet bound for the Sunshine Coast Airport. “I hated being in lockdown,” she said. “All we had to talk about was the weather and medical problems.” With a spring in her step and a smile in her eyes, Elise has become Noosa Springs’ most passionate admirer - even though she’s lived in the community for only a few months. “It’s just so beautiful,” she said. “I landed on my feet when I came here. “Within two days fellow residents were coming to my door asking me if there was anything they could help with. A neighbour asked me to join them for coffee so they could welcome me. It was just lovely.” Many remembered Elise from her days hosting a cooking program on Network 10, had seen her promote Australian cuisine on Qantas inflight videos, or had attended some of the cooking classes she’d fronted around the country. Elise Pascoe has enjoyed a remarkable career. The only daughter of a mother who was an accomplished cook and a father who was president of Adelaide’s Bacchus Club, she grew up in suburban Adelaide.

Elise Pascoe loves everything about her new Noosa Springs house – especially the pool in the backyard. In the late 60s she began writing a cooking column for the Melbourne Herald. She then moved to Sydney and wrote about food for several Australian Consolidated Press maga-

zines under the editorial direction of Ita Buttrose. Later she joined the Sydney Morning Herald as editor of its Good Food section. But it’s as a cooking school teacher that

Elise is perhaps best known. She has taught thousands of people in regional Queensland and NSW. Her students returned time after time to learn new culinary skills and become acquainted with new ingredients. She has been an international food ambassador for Australian products, was the first female president of the Wine Press Club of Victoria, the first female director of The Wine Society and the international chair of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. She also taught at the International Cooking School at Venice’s Gritti Palace Hotel with Julia Child and Simone Beck, and has been guest chef at many five-star international hotels. “I’ve had a fabulous career,” she said. “But I was lucky. I was in the right place at the right time.” Elise met the love of her life, John Kelly, when he attended one of her classes in Sydney. They spoke briefly and about two months later he telephoned and asked her out to dinner. It was the beginning of 33 wonderful years together. “He loved what I did and gave me the freedom to travel the world teaching and cooking,” she said. “If I was really lucky he was able to come with me.” John Kelly died in 2019 in Melbourne, where the couple had relocated to be closer to Elise’s children, Mark and Charlie, and their families. Elise had visited Noosa many times and became firm friends with journalist Helen Flanagan and her husband Tony. “It was Tony and Helen who found my Noosa Springs villa, bid at the auction on my behalf, and then put me up for 11 days when I arrived from Melbourne,” Elise said. “I can’t thank them enough.”

Beautiful home, beautiful garden.

A touch of Mediterranean Work began in April 1997 on Noosa Springs’ first housing precinct - Cascades 1, which comprised 25 villas. It was the beginning of a residential enclave that would set new standards of elegance, security and community spirit. Noosa architect and Noosa Springs’ developer Alan Starkey and his team designed every home in that first stage, ensuring they reflected “a contemporary Noosa style, with a Mediterranean influence.” Covenants were put in place so all properties would be of the same high standard. The villas each had tiled roofs, painted plaster walls, integrated courtyards and terraces. And, though they were designed to a theme, each had a unique individuality that set them apart. “We chose the best elements and created

a product best suited to the Noosa lifestyle and environment,” said Mr Starkey. And, unlike other integrated golf course resorts, development was done in stages, so existing residents suffered minimal interruption.Villas in Cascades 1 were offered at prices ranging from $295,000 to $485,000 - ridiculously cheap by current standards - and, as with every aspect of this meticulously planned development, the Starkeys took charge of marketing and sales. “We were told we’d be doing well to sell three properties a month,” Mr Starkey says. “In fact we sold all 25 in three weeks.” The heavily vegetated environment attracts abundant wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos and many bird species. Walking and cycling tracks weave throughout the community, al-

lowing residents to adapt to a healthier and greener option for getting around. The gardens are lovingly maintained, with spectacular pools and calming water features that wash away the stresses of modern life. Care has been taken during the design and construction phases of the community to protect the sensitive environmental surrounds. Noosa Springs emphasises recreation and lifestyle while maintaining environmental values. The second precinct - Cascades 2, comprising 34 villas, followed, and the sales came just as quickly. Some property observers expressed their surprise that Noosa Spring’s properties were being sold so readily without expensive, nationwide advertising campaigns.

But word of mouth has always been the best recommendation and news had spread quickly that Noosa Springs was something special. The first two stages were followed by The Woods (48 homes) and the upmarket The Points (37 villas). The homes, on blocks ranging in size from 550sqm to 720sqm, featured granite benchtops, microwaves, wall ovens and gas cook tops in the kitchens; raised corner baths, two-pack finishes and double vanities topped with marble in the bathrooms. Three more residential precincts - Palms, Ridges and Oasis - were developed, homes built and sold, until the master plan first created more than 20 years earlier had been successfully delivered.

The couple who’ve been together since kindergarten Rob and Karin Swan are two people who can truly say they’ve known each other all their lives. They went to kindergarten and state school together, fell in love as teenagers - and have now been married more than 50 years. Rob Swan, a former Ansett and Cathay Pacific pilot, and Karin, who worked as an airline hostess until her marriage, have lived at Noosa Springs for almost as long as the residential community has existed. And, like everyone who calls this beautiful location home, they consider themselves blessed. “We’re surrounded by close friends who often drop in for a cup of tea,” Karin said. “It’s just a lovely place to be.” Rob said apart from the ambience and wonderful neighbours it is the security Noosa Springs provides that makes it special. “We travel a lot and we never ever worry about leaving the villa unattended,” he said. Rob and Karin grew up in St Lucia and, though they always knew each other, it was far from a case of love at first sight. Indeed, it wasn’t until Rob was learning to fly at Archerfield when he was 18 that he ran into Karin Diamond and her father by acci32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 April, 2021

dent. He asked a mutual friend whether Karin was going out with anybody, was thrilled when he discovered she wasn’t, and tentatively asked her for a date. “That was on February 28, 1964,” said Karin, who was working at a bank in Brisbane at the time. Perhaps it was Rob’s role as a drummer in a band, and his brush with fame, that impressed Karin. A year or two earlier he’d joined the Brisbane-based Riverside Jazz Band when its drummer, Colin Peterson, left the group to join the Gibb brothers in England and become the Bee Gees’ first drummer. Later Peterson started a group called Humpy Bong and was joined by singer Tim Staffell from a group called Smile. Smile, who were now without a lead singer, were forced to recruit a new vocalist - a lad by the name of Freddie Mercury! It was another two years before Rob secured his commercial licence with his first job flying shark patrols up and down the Gold Coast beaches. Later he became a flight instructor and, at the remarkably young age of 21, was offered a job with Ansett. Karin, too, joined the industry - as a flight attendant with TAA and, for the final nine

months of her career, with Alitalia. The couple, however, never worked on the same flight. Rob’s career took the couple to Melbourne and later to Hong Kong, but they’d bought a unit in Noosa and headed there as often as they could. In 1999 Karin persuaded Rob to inspect the new residential development at Noosa Springs. They both loved it and asked if there were any re-sales - homes that had already been built, but had been put on the market. There was, and the Swans secured one of the largest homes in the Cascades precinct the home they are living in today. “We thought it would be a wonderful place to retire and perhaps take up golf,” Rob said. “Our plan was to rent it out and continue living in Melbourne. “Then, on the spur of the moment, we decided ‘why not go and live there now?’ We sold up and moved in December 1999.” Though their children - Anthony, Doug and Libby - have settled far from Noosa, they often visit, bringing their children with them. “This is such a great place for grandchildren to come and stay,” said Rob. “They enjoy cooling off in the community pool after a morning soaking up the sun on Noosa beach, which is just five minutes away.”

Relaxed vibe threat As a visitor to the Sunshine Coast since the early 1980’s, I have watched the development of the area with some concern as it threatens to lose its relaxed vibe. An antidote for this has been the beaches of course, where you can still find lonely stretches to yourself and the Noosa National Park. While the Park’s walking tracks are ridiculously busy at times, it was the “action“ out on the water that really jeopardises Noosa’s reputation as a natural haven. The constant roaring of rev-head jetskis in the bay is something I thought that Noosa’s civic leaders would never allow, for the obvious damage it represents. Given the Park’s status I thought at best that jetskis would be subject to some kind of exclusion zones around headlands and beaches as in other parts of the country - apparently not! I saw dozens hooning around the outer bays and others actually pulled up at Granite Bay beach from the early morning. I could not think of a worse advertisement for Noosa than having its reputation as a pristine environment ruined by the noise and pollution of an entitled few. Andrew Barrs Sydney

Thank you David Yes, he is collecting rubbish. No, he’s not a Council worker. They are scarce so David collects the rubbish on the Boardwalk the adjoining streets and our beach at Little Cove. Year in, year out he scrambles down the embankments collecting the beer cans wine bottles and plastic throwaways. It’s his contribution to an area he loves. Not that he lives there. He drives over on his motor cycle. He doesn’t own a car. Took his pic at Little Cove where he regularly collects the rubbish visitors throw over the railings. Have taken his pic and sending it to Noosa Today. He said he didn’t mind. On behalf of all of us, thank you David. Name withheld Noosa Heads

Treasures like this classic old truck are very rare to find these days - the stories that could be told about days gone by... Leanne Airey was ecstatic to have stumbled across this piece of history while she was out and about in our Noosa hinterland. If you have a Lenscape please email newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au predator? Hard to comprehend but at a cost of $3.7 million, you’d think that somebody would know? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Boxes ticked l can relate to your references to those Brasseries in Paris and I am happy to hear that “ Frenchie’s“ has ticked a lot of boxes but still hasn’t got a “House wine“ and I will not pay that ridiculously expensive money for a bottle.

plain Baguette to soak up the juices? I hope you put your foot down for more “local friendly“ establishmens with “Housewines in Caraffes“ and me and my local friends have somewhere to go without paying through the nose. We rely on you. Heidi Schum, Noosa

Where’s the loyalty Only round 7 in the 2021 NRL Season and every day, even immediately after a game, we read or hear from the experts who of the players will, or could be leaving their current team and playing 2022 for another team.

Some players who have no choice and started this year with the hope of winning the comp with their current team and mates. So did their supporters. Loyalty has now been replaced by the dollar and not always ability. It’s not a good example for young supporters who have to adjust to seeing their idols next season as the opposition. Maybe the players would be shown more loyalty if they were valued in Bitcoins. The Coaches too are not exempt and who would have had more chance of survival in the Roman Colosseum. Ernest Wright, Doonan

Next month’s Noosa Festival of Surfing will have a new and exciting addition - a skating arena in the Noosa Woods. The arena will feature lessons for beginners to intermediate, free-skate sessions where skaters can book one-hour time slots, demonstrations with local and interstate pros, and contests for Under 12s, Under 16s and Open divisions, which will include cash and prizes. The centrepiece will be a 8m x 6m x 1.6m halfpipe constructed by Ashley Wild Ramps, with a pop-up Sunset Bar overlooking the arena (open 2-6pm daily), the Red Bull DJ truck and a range of sponsor stands including Vans, Volcom, Yeti and Friends. Surf festival manager Josh Allen says: “This idea is something that I’ve wanted to implement for the last two years but lack of time to plan an additional festival within a

festival made it too difficult. But by postponing the festival this year due to Covid, and meeting Chiggy helped solve that dilemma. “Chiggy (Mat Chigwidden) has been a massive help. I don’t think either of us really had a clue how to go about this, but the idea, vision and passion were there to make it happen. In just over two weeks, the community will witness the first ever Chiggy’s Skate Festival running simultaneously with the Noosa Festival of Surfing. I am excited at the thought of attracting a new audience, but also keeping our existing audience engaged with what we have created in the Woods. There are some amazing events planned so I encourage the Sunshine Coast community to check it out.” The 2021 Noosa Festival of Surfing and Skate Fest will run from Saturday 15 to Sunday 23 May (7am-6pm daily).

Lady Bird Noosa loves all things lingere Lady Bird Noosa is a well loved Lingerie boutique situated in the heart of Noosa Junction. Glenda and Kathy, a mum and daughter team, are renowned both here in Australia and New Zealand for their knowledge, understanding and love for all things lingerie. “Every bra is unique as is every body, it’s just a matter of matching the two together and finding the perfect fit, style and comfort level for our customers,“ Kathy said. So what are the key points to look for in a perfectly fitted bra? 1. Comfort - This is personal and something we take very seriously. Eight hours a day, seven days a week we wear our bras, This need to be at the top of the list of things we need to get right. 2. Wires - If you choose to have underwires we must make sure that they fit fully around

the breast tissue with no digging into the soft part on the side. This is incredibly important for breast and lymph health as well as your comfort level. When it comes to wire placement, another very important area to look at is the the wire under they bust. It must sit snuggly with out sitting heavily on the rib cage, again, this makes all the difference to our comfort level, this comes down to the design and style of the bra, if it sits heavily on the rib cage, it’s not the style or shape for you. 3. Straps - They need to be centrally placed on the shoulder so you don’t get the dreaded ‘drop off the shoulder issue’ but also, it is a suitability issue. Different straps are recommended for different bust lines for support and longevity. 4. Band - Not too firm, not too loose, we are

looking at feel, ridding up the back, how it anchors on the body and no bagging under the arms. 5. Cups - Too many issues to list here! We don’t have enough space. 6. Shape - Every bra design is distinctive, it’s really important to make sure the shape is right for you, your lifestyle and it needs to make you feel confident in your every day life. This is just a snippet of what we look for when fitting our customers so if it’s your first bra fit or one of many, pop in and explore our unique and special lingerie collection and see what we can find for you.

Lockdown leads to inspired art exhibition By Margaret Maccoll Felix Gaborit used the COVID year to express joy and spirituality through art and will be sharing his work in an exhibition during May. The 21-year-old Coolum resident said he found his hidden talent during lockdown when he began painting. Since March 2020 he has completed 40 paintings. “Using acrylic paints on canvas, I like to use bright vibrant colours that are energetic and interesting creating moments of intrigue and inspiration,“ he said. “I hope my artistic expression will bring happiness, tranquillity, motivation, good vibrations, calmness and spiritual healing to the viewer. “I choose to express joy, natural beauty

and calmness to viewers so that they may sit and recognise the beauty and tranquillity of nature which is surrounding them, and which is within them. “My art inspires the viewer and raises their consciousness and enjoyment. It disconnects them from the (rat race) of the virtual world and brings them back to the beauty and serenity of nature and the truth of our reality. It’s fun and vibrant and it lightens up the room and it makes you smile. “I hope my art encourages conservation by recognising the incredible priceless value of nature and our connection to it.“Felix said his art was inspired by his connection to nature and appreciation of it that was cultivated while growing up in Coolum, close to the ocean, the national parks and the natural

beauty of the Sunshine Coast.The artist and musician connected with Tewantin Bendigo Bank and their community development team which offer free community exhibitions promoting local artists. “Extraordinary and very excitingly I will be exhibiting my art collection of 20 plus paintings throughout the month of May,“ he said “This is a wonderful opportunity to share my creative expression with the community and to share my unique message. “It’s wonderful that the Bank is connecting with the community this way, and they are supporting ‘You Turn’ community development support for youth.“ Felix’s exhibition will run from May 4-28 at the Tewantin Bendigo Bank.For more information visit www.felixg.art

Causes and solutions Graeme Sait, the co-founder and CEO of Nutri-Tech Solutions, is an author/educator responsible for over 300 published articles and a popular book, “Nutrition Rules!”. He is an internationally sought-after speaker, specialising in soil, plant, animal and human health and wellness. This has led to an emphasis on planetary health, in recognition of the link between humus and carbon sequestration. At the next Noosa Parks Association Friday Environment Forum, Graeme will consider the role of agriculture in climate change, the urgency of a viable game-plan to address global warming and the powerful link between soil biology and planetary health. Graeme is a passionate regenerative farmer with three research and demonstration farms where he produces chemical free, nutrient dense food with forgotten flavours and enhanced shelf-life. He finds that when people taste this food they are more inclined to support regenerative agriculture in the futures, and that is very much part of the plan. Come along to discover the link between

soil health and global warming, the causes, consequences and solutions from internationally revered Graeme Sait. The Friday Environment Forum will be held on 14 May at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville with coffee, tea and biscuits available from 10am and the program starting at 10:30am.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

All smiles at new eatery Trevor Pepys reviews Eclipse, Noosaville You know a restaurant has style when you can’t book a table. I don’t mean that they can’t fit you in. I mean that their phone is out of order or unconnected and their website doesn’t work. And they don’t care because they know that food lovers will sniff them out. A serious booking sleuth may have found a way, but Trev just hopped on his trundlie and rode up Gympie Terrace to its newest eatery and demanded a table for two that very evening. As it turned out, front of house man Aaron Roussos was as obliging as he turned out to be knowledgable about Eclipse’s varied Mediterranean offerings, when Trev and the missus later took up a table on the tiny terrace. Eclipse has only been open a few weeks and it’s really just a hole in the wall, but the word is out that something good is going on here, and by 6.30pm the hole in the wall gang had packed the joint. Both Australian born of Greek descent, Aaron and his dad, Peter, who runs the kitchen, have paid their dues in numerous successful establishments around the country, Peter most recently with a Greek food cart at farmers’ markets around the coast. So they’ve hit the ground running in Noosaville, with their friends and fans coming from near and far. Eclipse has a no-nonsense single page menu and a limited wine list. We took a chance on the cheapest white on offer, the 2020 Serafino Goose Island sauvignon blanc ($34) from the Adelaide Hills, and although it’s not Trev’s

Eclipse on the river.

favourite wine style, from first sip we knew we were on a winner. With a little nudging from Aaron, we settled on a couple of entrees and a main to share,

Carpaccio.

Sardines.

and rather than try to upsell us, our genial waiter assured us that this would be more than enough. We started with a carpaccio of eye fillet in olive oil drizzled with cognac mayonnaise and served with shaved parmesan, capers, croutons and rocket ($18.50) and crumbed butterflied sardines, pan-fried and served on roasted fennel gremolata ($18). Both were delicious and surprisingly filling. Clearing the plates, Aaron asked: “Would you like to take a rest before your main?” When was the last time, in this dog eat dog, two or three sittings a night world, that a waiter asked you that? This uncommon courtesy transported Trev instantly to one of those long and leisurely lunches he has enjoyed at tavernas by the water in the Greek islands. No hurry here, take your time. Our shared main was Swiss brown mushrooms filled with Spanish fetta, oven baked

with roasted cherry tomatoes and topped with a rocket salad ($26.50). A wise choice, beautiful flavours and ample for two. The panna cotta stared at us from the dessert list, begging us to try, but we were done. Next time. The verdict: Normally when a restaurant has been open for only a couple of weeks, you’d offer an encouraging word about how good it might be when they iron the kinks out. Apart from the booking fiasco – which will probably be fixed by the time you read this – Eclipse has no kinks to iron out. The Roussos père et fils are old pros who understand that the essence of a good restaurant is not just the excellent home-style fare that comes out of the kitchen, but the entire experience. And on his first visit, Trev heard plenty of laughter and saw nothing but smiling faces. Eclipse Cafe Bar Restaurant, 253 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. Phone: Try 0492 091393.

Westerlies are back again As the title says the westerlies have started to show up as they often do this time of year. Fortunately for us the rains have abated and this means the sea conditions will clean up with water clarity improving. This can only mean tuna time offshore and Spanish a lot closer. Westerly winds clean up the sea state and all the suspended matter should fall away. The reef fishing is certainly improving with some solid snapper starting to show up in the 80cm range as well as tuskies and jewies. sweetlip or lipper have been on the catch list for just about everyone dropping baits and plastics on the reef. These fish range from 3748cm and are pretty good fighters on lighter 15-20lb tackle with 16lb fluro leader. When buying leader it is important to buy one suitable for the task with FC Rock one of the best in the rough stuff. If you need help with how to tie a braid to leader knot be sure to pop in and ask us how as this is an essential skill often overlooked with the use of a swivel which is incorrect. Coral trout also feature consistently all along the coast line. These fish are commonly found around the 25-35 meter line. They love live baits but will also take slow pitch jigs, soft plastics and dead baits. Make sure you up your leader size and be ready for the take as these fish will have you back in the reef real quick. The pelagic activity is still plentiful with a lot of anglers targeting both tuna and mackerel. The tuna are feeding hard at the moment but are very flighty so it is best to get ahead of them and cast to them as they approach. The bait they are feeding on is quite small so small slugs in the 10 - 20 gram size is perfect. For those of you chasing mackerel slow trolled dead bait of bonito or gar have been getting the job done. Working these bait along the pressure edges of the reefs is where most of the fish have been congregating. For the beach anglers the condition were also pretty good with only slight winds coming into play. There are some reports of tailor schools starting to move up from the south, pilchards and mullet are the prime baits with the high tide in the evenings the best time to fish. Metal slugs cast into the surf during the day have also seen some good results with trevally and larger dart taken on the turn of the tide. Whiting are in good numbers with plenty of fish taken around Peregian and Marcus beaches, freshly pulled beach worms or pippies have gotten the results.. The Noosa River has been producing some great fish, trevally have been in the systems in good numbers, surface poppers and walkers have been the way to go with plenty of fish taken on the morning tide, these predatory fish following in schools of bait in on the tide so areas like Woods Bays, the current line and the

If you are going to fish the river mouth, have a go with slugs on a fast retrieve, you may also see a queenfish feeding on those bait schools. Whiting have been in good numbers around the river mouth flats and along Gympie Terrace. Live worms, yabbies and peeled prawns are the go to bait. Fishing the mid-sections of the Noosa River has also paid dividends, drifting down with the runout tide flicking prawn profile like the very popular Flick Prawn from River2sea and paddle tailed soft plastics like the Keitech Easy Shiners has seen anglers picking up some nice flathead whilst working the drop

A triple win for Noosa croquet After a whole year of no inter-club competition due to Covid, the Sunshine Coast Regional Club Championships in Golf Croquet commenced in mid-April. This is played at three levels – the Pennant competition for low handicappers, the Shield competition for those on medium handicaps and the new Plate competition for high handicap players/ newer players. On 12 April, the Noosa Club hosted Nambour in a home game in the Shield competition. Noosa came away victors by six games to four – a good start to the year. A good day for James Martin who had three wins, two singles and the doubles. . On 19 April there were two games. The Pennant team travelled to Nambour for an away game, and claimed the day with a 7 – 3 win, a great start to their season. Best of the day were Niven Gugich who won all three of his games and John Dark in his first ever competition did very well with two wins out of three. Also on the 19th, the Plate team hosted the Nambour team for its first game at Noosa. This was a first time for most players in any form of competition and, despite a great deal of initial nervousness on both sides, the Noosa team had a hard-fought six – four win. Everyone had at least one win. Well done to Lorry Ryan, Sally Walker, Susie Locke and Bob Eames. The Plate game also served as the second leg of the Habner – Gugich challenge, which is a friendly competition between Noosa and Nambour for new and high handicap play-

Pat Habner of Nambour hands over the Habner-Gugich trophy to Noosa’s Colin Hindson. ers. The first leg was played some time ago, but Covid and bad weather had prevented the second leg taking place. The Clubs decided to use this first day of official club competition as the second leg of this battle, which meant an overall win to Noosa of twelve game to eight. The Habner – Gugich Shield will now sit in the Noosa Clubhouse until later in the year, when two fresh teams of newer players can compete again when time is available. The Regional Golf Croquet Championships

will be held during May. These had to be delayed as they were originally set for that period of terrible weather during March. Noosa will host the Division 2 Championships at its courts in Noosa Waters on Saturday 22 May. Remember, every Sunday morning we welcome new players to the Club. Come along and see why croquet is such a great sport to play in this beautiful weather. Noosa Croquet Club, Seashell Place, Noosa Waters, ring Niven Gugich on 0428 799 987 for further details.

Noosa Triathlon entries sell out The Noosa Triathlon team are pleased to announce that individual entries for the 2021 event have officially sold out. The remaining entries for the 2021 Noosa Triathlon went on sale this morning and were quickly snapped up by triathletes from across Australia and New Zealand. The 2021 Noosa Triathlon will see more than 9,000 triathletes converge on the region for the 38th running of the iconic event. The festival of events is set to be held between 27 and 31 October, with the Standard distance triathlon to take place on Sunday 31 October. Rob Stalling, The IRONMAN Group Oceania Regional Director, organisers of the Noosa Triathlon, said the team looked forward to welcoming athletes back to Noosa this October. “The Noosa Triathlon is an iconic event on both the Noosa calendar and the Australian sporting calendar, and we’re thrilled with how quickly the remaining entries went today,” said Stalling. “From talking with our athletes we know they’re all ready to be back in Noosa not only testing themselves in the race but enjoying everything the region has to offer. “We have a mixture of athletes who were registered to compete in the 2020 event that couldn’t take place due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and those who claimed their spot on the start line today, and we can’t wait to see them all in October. “The Noosa Triathlon injects more than $25million a year into the region, with more than 30,000 people making their way to Noosa as either an athlete, spectator, volunteer or a part of the event team,” he said. “It’s great that we’re in the position here in Queensland where we can plan for a Noosa

Noosa Triathlon Triathlon with all of the elements that athletes and spectators have come to love over the years.” While the iconic Noosa Triathlon has now sold out there are still entries available in the

Teams category and over the coming months entries will open to the other smaller Festival Events. For more information on the Noosa Triathlon visit: https://noosatri.com.au/

What a splash The Noosa Swimming Club, home of Team JR, has recorded their best ever result at the recent Age & Open Australian Swimming Championships held at the Southport Olympic Pool on the Gold Coast. A small contingent of nine swimmers attended these championships, with 7 making their maiden show at a national level still water pool championship, and their results were outstanding. Nick Sloman was a stand out claiming his maiden National Title in the pool claiming gold in the 1500m freestyle in a personal best time of 15:02.19 As a result of this win he is now the first Australian to win the Open Men’s Surf Race, 10Km Open Water and the 1500m still water National titles. His Coach JR was all smiles after the race and is now planning to attend the Sydney Open in May to give Nick another opportunity to crack the elusive 15min barrier, something he is quite confident Nick has the potential to do. 14yr old breaststroke sensation Harry Wright claimed a bronze in the 100m clocking a personal best time of 1:07:93, also making the final of the 200m breaststroke. Rising middle distance freestyler 13yr old Ella Reynolds has had a break out year, qualifying for the 200, 400 and 800m freestyle. Ella made the finals in both the 400 and 800m and narrowly missed a podium finish with a 4th place in the 800m in a time of 9:29.33, a 2.44 second personal best. Up and coming sprint queen 14yr old Lola Gibbs-Beal cracked the minute in the 100m freestyle in a sizzling time of 59.67 seconds, a personal best by 0.89 seconds, and in doing so marginally missed a finals birth. Kilian Carrel performed courageously and secured himself a place in the final of the 400m freestyle with a time of 4.09.39, a PB of 1.40 seconds, an excellent result given his preparation had been interrupted by illness days prior to his race. 15yr old Taj Ryan, who missed his debut competing last year due to the Covid-19 cancellation, performed credibly in his 3 events. Coach JR (John Rodgers) expressed how proud he was of his young swimmers commenting “if you wish to succeed in this sport you need to have passion and commitment and I have definitely seen a big improvement in both of these areas and our results speak for themselves”. The Noosa Swimming Club squad is very fortunate to have Australian Dolphin swimmers Kareena Lee and Nick Sloman in the squad and they bring encouragement and support to these young swimmers. They all get to witness first hand the intense training regime, positive attitude and solid commitment that is necessary to achieve greatness. Kareena has already secured her spot to the Tokyo Olympics competing in the 10km open water event. Nick will compete to secure his position in the 10km event at the Open Water Olympic qualifier to be held in Portugal on 19th June. Both swimmers are also keen to throw their hats into the ring and compete in the pool. They both attended the open still water championships over the weekend with fellow club mates, Finella Gibbs-Beal and William Thorley. Kareena competed in the 200m, 400m & 1500m freestyle events. Making it to the finals in each race, Kareena came away with bronze in the 400m and silver in the 1500m. Young aspiring open water distance swimmer Finella Gibbs-Beal, who secured her spot to attend this year’s Junior World Open Water Championships after stellar performances at the Australian National competition at the Coolum Aquatic Park in March, competed strongly in her 3 events, securing a silver medal in the 1500m.

What a day! – A field of 135 women lined up for Noosa Springs’ first Ladies Golf Series event last week.

Davo finally gets serious about golf By Peter Owen WHEN Bruce Davidson turned 70 last month, with his golf game going nowhere, the popular former politician had a choice to make – give up a game he’d been playing for more than 30 years, or do something about it, and work harder. The man known universally as ‘Davo’ has never been a quitter, so he bought a new set of Ping clubs, worked out at the gym with a new intensity, and even put in the odd session of practice. Gradually the form that had once seen his handicap drop to as low as eight returned. And last week, playing off the generous mark of 19, it came together, with Davo scoring 43 stableford points in the Tuesday Club competition, notching a three-point victory. “I left a few shots out there,” he said. “But it was a pretty good round of golf. “I’d been having a rough trot, and my handicap had drifted to the point where my mates were calling me ‘a bloody burglar’,” he said. Davo, who served as Minister for Tourism, Consumer Affairs and Regional Development in the Borbidge government, has been a member of Noosa Golf Club for 30 years. With politics and business now largely behind him, he gets to play two or three times a week, and is looking forward to reducing his handicap to 12 or 13. When he’s not strolling Noosa’s fairways, he’s fishing – every morning at 5.30am - helping out a few friends, and enjoying the company of his grandchildren. Scott says No to Olympics PREFERRING to spend time with his wife and three young children, Adam Scott has opted out of the Olympic Games, paving the way for weekend PGA Tour winners Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith to represent Australia in Tokyo. The men’s Olympic golf competition starts on July 29. Scott’s manager John Elliot said that was the 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 April, 2021

only time between now and October that Scott could be with his family ‘for a stretch of time.’ Leishman and Smith who, like Scott, has strong ties with the Sunshine Coast, won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the PGA Tour on Sunday. They beat the South African pair of Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel in a playoff in the team event that gave Leishman his sixth, and Smith his third, PGA Tour victory. Leishman said he was excited about the prospect of representing Australia in Tokyo. “I wasn’t able to play the last Olympics because my wife and I were trying to get pregnant,” he said. Andrew finds form of old ANDREW Seal had played only the odd round of social golf before he joined Noosa Springs 22 years ago. Then, on a schedule of just one round a week, the former Sydneysider managed to reduce his handicap to three. “I started on 21,” he said. “Then things began to fall into place and my scores improved. “My short game was always good. I was never a great ball striker but I was able to keep the ball in play, then get it close to the pin.” Along the way he won three club championships, including the A grade championship, before a shoulder injury put him on the sidelines, and he eventually saw his handicap balloon to nine. That was until Andrew showed a glimpse of his best form with an excellent 41 points in last weekend’s Saturday stableford competition. “I played pretty well,” he said. “But it was from a generous handicap.” Fine way to raise funds for a great cause IT’S impossible not to admire the work of the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice – a quiet, leafy house in Doonan, where more than 100 Noosa residents have spent their final days in a peaceful, caring environment. The hospice, in Beddington Road in the Noosa hinterland, has been operating as a

24/7 facility for nearly three years. It is staffed mainly by volunteers, who operate under the supervision of a small, but highly skilled management team. A retired Noosa couple donated $1 million for the purchase of the hospice, which gave Katie Rose the security to grow and expand. Since then, relatives and friends have raved about the care and support their loved ones have received. To raise funds towards Katie Rose’s $1.4 million annual operating costs, Noosa Springs is hosting a charity golf day on Sunday, May 23. It is a 4BBB stableford competition with an 8.30am shotgun start. The entry fee of $145 ($75 for Noosa Springs members) includes green fees, a motorised cart, refreshments on arrival, a two-course lunch and excellent prizes. Book by going to https://www.scbdwg. com.au/events/95393. Carol takes out first Ladies Day event CAROL Moloney saved her best form for the right day when she scored 41 points to win the first leg of the Ladies Golf Series at Noosa Springs last week. Carol, a Noosa Springs member, was one of 135 women who turned out for the day – attracted by the chance to compete against her friends, then sit down for a gourmet champagne lunch. Her score was two better than runner-up Jill Yeatman. Niki Matthews, on 38, was third. This year’s series continues with events in July and December. Those who play in at least two legs will be in the running for the major prize – a Half Day Spa Escape, which includes a Thermal Suite Experience and a choice of massage, facial or sugar scrub, plus four rounds of golf in an electric cart. Club competitions NOOSA Monday, 19 April Women’s stableford: A grade – Glenys Healey

How can you hit more fairways? Having a target like the fairway as a whole is too broad. You need to narrow your focus to one small specific target that’s ‘interesting’ and stands out - like a tree branch, top of a hill, crest or even the flag in the distance. Although you might not feel you’re capable of hitting such a small target, it is the ability to focus your eyes on a small target that allows your body to hear your mind’s clear instruction, and what it needs to do when you swing.

Pirates battled the Sharks.

Pirates showed their speed.

A busy weekend in sport Sport in Noosa, last Saturday could not have been better. For Dolphins Rugby Union and Pirates Rugby League, it was definitely a big day and with perfect weather it was Noosa at its’ best. With both codes, not only hosting teams from Caloundra, but also acknowledging Anzac Day with ceremonies being performed on their fields, prior the games, it was to be commended. At Dolphin Oval the of the Ode to The Fallen, was read by a young Jack Frey and this was followed by the playing of the Last Post. For Noosa Pirates, the Ode was read by a representative of their long- time sponsor, the Tewantin- Noosa RSL, Phil Granger, in the presence of the RSL President, Captain Adel Amin. However, the playing of Last Post caused something of a sensation when it was played by an 11yr old school boy, Jeremiah Montgomery. His beautiful rendition, was so well received with loud applause, that there can be no doubt that it set the atmosphere for the day. It was good to see the support and respect shown by the big crowds in attendance. For the Noosa Dolphins the day was something of a double header. Apart from hosting four games in the Colts, Women’s, Reserve and Seniors Divisions they also invited all sponsors to be in attendance as guests of honour. It was for the Dolphins, what club President Donald McKill described as ‘Super Saturday.’’ In his welcome speech, he acknowledged the attendance of the mayor Clare Stewart and councillor Alison Hamblin and thanked them for their support. He acknowledged the fact that the council had contributed toward major improvements of the club house. “I cannot say enough about our sponsors, they are our heart and soul- they make the place tick. To Ray White our major sponsor, who has been with us now for several seasons and all other sponsors, thank you for staying with us during these hard times. I would also like our supporters to know that a lot of these people also sponsor other sports.” He then went on to give a special vote of thanks to the women on the committees of the club and acknowledged their attendance. “It is now several years since the women first became heavily involved and some of that original group, is still working for the club; they are definitely fundamental to the running of the club. We are now at the for -front of our community. Thank you, ladies, for your hard work.” Unfortunately, the importance of sponsors within some clubs is often overlooked so it is

Jeremiah Montgomery, 11, set the tone at Dolphin oval with his rendition of the Last Post. good to see some clubs giving public acknowledgment. Out on the playing field for the Dolphins it was their day, winning all four grades. For the Colts it was a 55-5 win, Women’s 57-10 Reserve Grade 38-5.The main game, saw the Seniors complete the rout with a with good tight forward play being the main factor in their 34-12 win Over at Pirate Park, home of rugby league, it was also a great afternoon of football, with a big crowd in attendance to witness the Pirates do battle with the Caloundra Sharks. In the main game Pirates came out the winners 3412. This was a game that was very entertaining: fast and with the ball being moved about, it was an open game. For the Pirates supporters, perhaps the most pleasing aspect was the performance of their back line. Nicely spaced

and running on to the ball, they showed plenty of speed: and with a solid forward pack they have showed the possibility of being a premiership threat. Caloundra performed better than the score indicated: in the second half they started to put on the pressure, but didn’t maintain their push. It is hoped that with the Pirates display on Saturday, the supporters will flock back to Pirates Park. In other games, Division2, Caloundra won 32-18, Under 18 Noosa won 52-20 and, in the Women’s,’ Caloundra won 18-0. Down the coast on Saturday, at Alexandria Headlands and Mooloolaba, the final events of the Australian Surf Life Saving, Surf Sports Championships, in the u/17 to Open category were held. For Noosa the most outstanding performance came from Nick Sloman, who

for the third year in a row, won the men’s open surf race. To win this blue- ribbon event for three consecutive years is indeed an incredible achievement. In the U/17 Iron Woman Fin Ella Gibbs-Beal won bronze , Kirra Moloner won Gold in the open long board surfing Female, and Noosa won a silver in the Open Surfing teams. Several other members performed well to make semis and finals. In the boat section, Noosa had its best Australian Titles ever, with 5 crews making it through to the top twelve in the senior division, to line up on final day. ‘Unfortunately, two crews, the Bandits (Reserve Women’s) and the Scrub Turkeys ( U/23Womens) bowed out in semi-finals. In the Women’s 140+ Masters, the Bandits won bronze and the Kookaburras rowed well to win the bronze in the U/19s Women’s. In the Open Women’s the Chums finished 4th and, in the Reserve, Women was also 4th: both crews being tipped on the line. The results of the Noosa boat crews, at National and State titles, plus other major carnivals during the season, has resulted in the club having its best season ever, in its surf boat history. Well done to all involved. Mid- week saw the Noosa First Aid teams in competition and once again their results have been outstanding: winning 2 gold,2 silver and 1 bronze medal. The Golds were won by the U/15 and U/ 19s teams, the silver by the U/17 and U/19 (second team) and the bronze by the U/17 (second team). With the increase work load for our First Aid people during patrol hours, the standard of training has to be first class: this results in the competition for First Aid teams at State and National Titles being the highest level ever. Now at last, this type of competition is getting its due respect-and rightly so. The overall team results saw Noosa finish 8th in the U/17 to the Opens Division and 6th in the Masters For our mates over the hill at Sunshine Beach, they also had a successful title: winning 2 silver and 1 bronze medal. The 2 silvers medals, came from the ski and board relays in the U/17 girls: the fact that both teams, which consist of 3 members each, had the same three doing both races, has been an outstanding achievement: and the young ladies who performed so well for Sunshine were, Grace Otto, Abbie Talano and Gemna Smith. The bronze medal won in the 2kl swim, was achieved by Clair Gerrington. When comparing the size of the Sunshine competition team to other bigger clubs, their efforts are always something in which to take pride. Friday, 30 April, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 53

Columnist and beloved board.

Kirra takes all.

Bainy takes gas.

Picture: SUPPLIED

I got my boards back! Surfboards are funny things. Basically just inappropriate big chunks of plastic that find their way into your heart. Or sometimes not. In nearly 60 years of surfing I’ve had a lot of surfboards I’ve literally loved to death. Just kept riding them until they could take no more. Case in point: In 1980 the great surfer/ shaper Terry Fitzgerald gave me the board on which he’d just won the Om Bali Pro, saying it was the perfect board for the powerful waves of the Bukit, and Fitz knew I needed all the help I could get. A beautiful, bright yellow and black six-six Hot Buttered stinger that lived at a friend’s house in Legian and was my only Bali board for a decade. When it fell apart at Uluwatu I felt like giving it a decent burial above the cave, but I took the pieces back to the Wira compound and the kids made a couple of crude bodyboards out of the remains. A fitting end to a board that gave me so much pleasure. Since then, in the longboard era I’ve owned so many special boards I’ve had long and lasting relationships with, including quite a few Jeff Hakman cast-off Takayamas, John Carpers and Dave Parmenter mid-range flyers. And then in 1997, veteran shaper Darrell “Rooster” Dell and I were both staying with Hakman at Hanalei Bay, Ka’aui, when Rooster swapped boards with me on a nice day at the bowl. Thus began a long relationship with a fine Queensland shaper that is ongoing. For a long time, Rooster would bring me a new board every Noosa surf festival. I didn’t have to order it, I just left everything up to him. Which is why I expected to find the yellow Rooster with the slightly feminine aloha print comp stripe (his bent little joke) sitting in my board stash when I got home from Sydney late the other night. It was gone, as was my other favourite, a gorgeous, if somewhat rock-weary, Josh Constable Creative Army Jive model with outrageous Echo Beach polka dot cosmetics that Josh took from my favoured retro board shorts of the time. A gift from my daughters when I retired from the surf festival, it had twin places in my heart. A thief in the night isn’t thinking about what possessions might mean to people. In fact I doubt this one was thinking at all, or he may not have chosen two of the most distinctive boards in Noosa. But the boards were gone and I was gutted. I took to social media, mainly to vent, not believing I’d get the boards back. Because of the forum for hate and ratbaggery that social media has become, I often think about abandoning it and resuming the simpler, more private life that came before, but you can’t deny its power to unite a community in a common cause. By the next evening, I had my boards back, thanks to Noosa Community Notice Board and a couple of lovely on-site managers from a nearby establishment. I was double lucky. Lucky to get my beloved boards back, and lucky to live in a com54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 April, 2021

Curly Mal Jam goes off Speaking of Josh Constable, he looked one of the standouts in early rounds of last weekend’s big money Curly Mal Jam, held in pumping conditions at Sydney’s Curl Curl. Noosa’s guru snapper Ian Borland was on hand and captured some great action of Josh powering off the bottom and off the lip, but Curly can turn like a tap, and Josh found himself wave-starved and out of the money in the semis. The Open Men’s went to deserving young gun Declan Wyton, with Jason Livingstone taking the over 50s from former shortboard pro Rob Bain, who won best wipeout for a horrific tumble in the shorey. I had a beer with Bainy at the Narrabeen Pro last week, a jovial, enduring presence in all forms of surfing who has survived a tsunami in Java and a broken neck at Avalon, so a little plonk at Curly won’t be an issue. In the Open Women’s our very own hardworking Noosa World Surfing Reserve steward and surf coach Kirra Molnar put on a brave show to finish second to Lucy Small, but still managed to pick up a handy cheque and win

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Tigers thumped by rivals By Julian Pitts The Roccoco Noosa tigers have slumped to their third straight loss after losing to arch rival Maroochydore by 70 points at Fisherman’s Rd on Anzac weekend.The Roos just much cleaner in their disposal for the entire game with the Noosa boys once again unable to rise to the tempo that QAFL footy requires. And by no means did the Tigers not bring pressure because apart from a final quarter blow out the tackling harassing and general attack on the footy from Noosa was terrific. It was simply the finishing skills all over the ground that made them inferior to their Sunshine Coast opponents. A pretty large Anzac eve crowd were entertained to a fantastic pre game service and four games of senior footy with even the tigers under 10s involved in a game at half time of the senior game reminding this scribe of the old little league of the VFL days. Noosa coach Adam Bovalino was of course disappointed but was frank in saying ‘We have stepped up to a much better competition and what we could get away with the last few years we cannot now. Once again I thought when we moved the footy the way we wanted too, we looked good and dangerous. We had moments once again but just lacked the class to finish off. I was stoked with youngster Jed Aitken who was great and has the enthusiasm needed to play at this level. We will be looking to blood more of his type in the coming weeks. Maroochy just had a better skill set across the board and looked to have picked up some pretty experienced senior footballers to add to what was already a pretty good group’ The Tigers defence was stretched for the most part but the performance of key defender Riley Buntain was just outstanding.

Former champion Bulldog’s player Doug Hawkins will be guest speaker this Saturday 1 May at the first 2021 President’s Luncheon. Without him God knows what the margin may have been as he continued to intercept mark and spoil the Roos forward thrusts the entire day. Buntain has started the year in fantastic form as has skipper Aaron Laskey who again shone in a disappointing day with his non stop intent, run and ball gathering. Deep defender and vice captain Isaac McCrimmon was again impressive in defence gathering 27 disposals and more importantly applying the defensive

pressure required at QAFL level. He too has started the season very well after a strong and disciplined pre season. Youngster Jed Aitken was terrific with his attack on the footy and used the ball well when in possession. Defender Ben Guthrie also deserving a mention with his attack on the footy and opposition a standout on a pretty bleak day for noosa. On ballers Jai Fitzpatrick and Brett Meredith both gathered 28 and 26 possessions

respectively and battled manfully against a pretty strong and robust midfield who are yet to be defeated in 2021. Aaron Wilson and Seb Rodgers both kicked 2 goals for the Tigers with Seb in particular the best of the forwards with his presenting and defensive work rate. Overall a very disappointing day for Tiger fans who ventured down the Sunshine Motorway last Saturday but I’m sure the tide will turn pretty quickly as the Noosa club feels their way through a new competition and realised what is required. All credit to the Roos though just far too good on the day! It’s Sherwood at home this Saturday at roccoco oval with both sides yet to register a win so far this season. Footscray legend Dougie Hawkins is our first presidents luncheon guest from midday which I’m sure will be a ripping function with a feast of footy set for our Weyba Rd headquarters. Colts at 9.30 am, reserves at 11.30 am with the senior game set to start at 2pm. Our Senior women away again this time to Ipswich on Saturday evening! The game will be live streamed through our Tiger tv on our Facebook page and for all other relevant Noosa Tiger information please google Noosa Tigers and head to our social media. Our Mischief Hair Senior women ventured down the Bruce highway to begin their premiership defence only to lose to Alexander Hills by a solitary point. Inaccurate kicking for goal cost the girls as they seemed to have control of the game for the most part. 2020 best and fairest Ragen Mills was the best player for the Tigerettes and great to see the senior debuts of Noosa juniors Elle Reddaway and Lauren Vaughan who didn’t at all look out of place. The girls are away again this Saturday to Ipswich on Saturday afternoon See you at the footy Go tigers!

LANDMARK PROPERTY UP FOR AUCTION PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IT’S been a mystery house for many years ... in a true landmark position among the high dunes at Castaways Beach. With links to the original developers of Noosa’s eastern beaches from Sunrise Beach to Marcus Beach, the 9677sq m property goes to auction in May and is rated a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on an international level. The site has a modest two-bedroom cottage and a second one that is designated uninhabitable. Yet the property offers 246m of direct ocean beach frontage. Noosa Shire Council’s zoning is for low density residential and there is preliminary sub-division approval for two super allotments. Tom Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property to the market at 10am on Saturday, May 15, and has already been receiving strong interest, from Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

locals as well as ex-pats from the US. “It is a real privilege to be trusted with the sale of such an important piece of Noosa property history,’’ Tom said. “The land was used by the developers of Sunrise Beach and Castaways Beach in the 1960s as their construction depot and sold as a single parcel when they finished. “Who knows when it will become available again, it could be lifetimes. “The hot question at the moment is how much will it sell for? “Real estate is a long play, and if you can afford it and hold it long term, then whatever you pay will one day seem ridiculously low. “I don’t know how much the owners paid way back; however, I am sure it would have been a small fortune in those days. “Yet with the benefit of time that sum would now seem cheap. “A reliable adage is that nothing good is ever cheap, and nothing cheap is ever good. “The auction is a buyer’s guarantee that the price paid is fair market value on the day. “A big fear is paying too much, and on a property like this there are no comparable sales because it is absolutely unique. “If others are bidding against you then their bids are underpinning the value. This one is a little different because there isn’t

it is an 0.6ha block. Mal Cox of Tom Offermann Real Estate is getting plenty of interest - and some offers - on a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool and three-bay highclearance shed at 209 Valley Dve, Doonan, that goes to auction Saturday, May 1, at midday. That interest has come mainly from Sydney and coastal areas, with people looking for a less busy lifestyle. “It’s a beautiful property,’’ Mal said. “People love the layout of the home. “High ceilings give an airy feel to the living and entertaining spaces. “There are two separate living areas, while balconies wrap around the front and the side. “The huge entertainment area opens onto the pool - there is a Vergola there and in the back yard as well. “It has lovely the gardens - beautifully landscaped with a restful outlook. “A huge three-bay shed is built with highclearance roller doors and there is a big double garage as well. “The lead-in to the property makes you feel so welcome. “The owners are fastidious with what they have done here … it’s a special property.’’ Adjoining the Noosa Valley Golf and Country Club, the single-level home enjoys the desired northerly aspect.

another is you miss out ... so this is going to be an interesting landmark auction.’’ TM Burke Pty Ltd started its involvement in the Noosa coastline in 1927. The company built the Weyba Bridge, Noosaville, which provides motor-vehicle access to Sunshine Beach. Land sales at Sunshine Beach were terminated by World War Two. In 1959 the company entered into a development agreement with the Queensland Government, exchanging a coastal road construction program for the grant of coastal land for a distance of 8km from Pacific Ave, Sunshine Beach, to Noosa Shire’s southern boundary at Coolum Beach. TM Burke’s road was completed in 1960 and the Sunrise Estate at Tingara Cres was released in 1961. A caravan park was also opened near the estate. Immediately south of Sunrise Beach there is the small suburb of Castaways Beach and then the slightly larger Marcus Beach. Originally named Bambara, Marcus Beach was named after Marcus Burke, son of TM Burke and company chair from 1949 to 1960. The first land sales at Marcus Beach were in 1970. POSITION PERFECT Peaceful, private and with a good lay-out ... it seems to be what a lot of buyers are looking for at the moment - especially when

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT First time offered to the market in 20 years, the top-floor apartment 4/235 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, attracted four registered bidders when put to auction by Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate on Saturday. In small boutique complex of eight, it offered a northerly aspect and beautiful Noosa River views. Offering three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a huge open-plan kitchen/ lounge, it sold at auction for $1.285m to an interstate buyer who saw it for the first time on the day. “He had no intentions of purchasing when he came in,’’ Melanie said, “but left very happy. “He will be using it for personal use as well as putting it the holiday letting pool.’’ Other bidders were local and Brisbane. Melanie now has a two-bedroom, onebathroom apartment to look out for. A real do-upper at 6/2 Dolphin Cres, Noosaville, it will be good to grab and hold, she said. NEW AUCTION LISTING It’s crazy busy with holiday bookings, it’s hard to get in for inspections. Correen Mackay of Richardson & Wrench Noosa has listed a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 30 The Emerald, 42 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, as a forthcoming auction. This is until a date can be found in the bookings. “Inspections are by appointment at this stage. We are getting as many through as can. “A lot of those interested will not need to see it. The Emerald is well respected and the apartments are so big.’’ Most early interest is from interstate, other owners in the building or past holiday makers. In a prime Hastings St position, the apartment is offered as a fully-furnished investment. Overlooking treetops, palms and with filtered park views, it has lift access, airconditioning and fully-equipped kitchen. Richardson & Wrench colleagues Frank Milat and Shane McCauley have just sold apartments 3 and 18 The Emerald prior to auction. RIVERSIDE TRIO SUCCESS It was time for the Noosa Riverfront

to shine, after land stole the limelight the previous weekend when the Tom Offermann-listed 66 Seaview Terrace Sunshine Beach was sold under the hammer for $7.7m, a new benchmark and record price for a regular-sized beachfront allotment. The hammer also fell on the Michael McComas-listed 12 Jailee Court Noosaville, in the Noosa Northrise estate abutting Noosa Waters. After competitive bidding, it was sold for $1m to interstate buyers. Last Friday at 4 Noosa River Quays, 2-10 Blakesley St, Tewantin, the choice of a dusk auction by listing agent Luke Chen paid dividends when neighbouring apartment owners and friends enjoyed sunset drinks on their balconies. Along with 30 interested attendees and five registered bidders, there was cheering when the hammer fell at $1.575m to a local couple. Big crowds were out in force on Saturday morning when two north-facing Noosa riverside apartments with eye-popping views, set a new value benchmark for each complex. At the Rebekah Offermann-listed 8 Driftwood, 9 Barbados Cres, Noosaville, there were 60 on-lookers inside, waterside and also in boats, plus 10 registered bidders ready to wave their paddles at

auctioneer Gordon Macdonald. It was sold by vendors who had bought it off the plan in 1985, to Sydney-based buyers for $2.855m. At a neighbouring complex, Eliza Coppin’s listing of 6 Noosa Haven, 16 Barbados Cres, Noosaville, drew a crowd of 70 plus 10 registered local and interstate bidders hoping it was their turn for a riverside apartment. It had been owned by the same family for 20 years, and after a strong campaign and lively bidding, was sold to local buyers for $2.64m. Agent Chris Miller is negotiating post auction with interested parties for 6105 Viridian Noosa, 5 Morwong Drive, Noosa Heads. Tracy Russell had three registered bidders for the character-filled, high and mighty 282 David Low Way, Peregian Beach, and was negotiating with them and interested conditional buyers post-auction. The Peter Tewhata-listed land at 47 Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach, was passed in and is now listed for $4m.

POTENTIAL MEDIUM DENSITY JEWEL, SUNRISE BEACH PERCHED in the wallum frequented by native fauna, overlooking Sunrise Beach and facing north-east, is La Maison Bleue, designed in 1994 by the late Gabriel Poole, a pioneer of what was considered Noosastyle architecture. Elevated on the side of a gully and striking in its simplicity, the classic family beach house and artist space is somewhat faded, however for an investor looking to reimagine a beachside weekender, maybe build a contemporary family residence or a developer seeking a medium density site, 5-minutes to toes-in-the sand, with potentially stunning Coral Sea and coastal views, this is it. The pole home, a timber version of a quadropod, allows maximum light to drench indoors, thus creating transparency and giving the illusion of a floating roof. Poole applied many other trademarks including shutters and louvres to guarantee cross ventilation between the living areas and the three bedrooms. The simple polished chipboard floors have stood the test of time and add to the overall character. Opening out to the private timber deck, which ‘spills’ over the garden and reserve below, and runs the width of the house, is the main bedroom also the living room. A gas-strutted window opens out from the kitchen. The front entrance to this highly desirable address, is via a level purposebuilt timber walkway. A dedicated path to the sand abuts the site. Life does not get any better than waking to the sounds of waves breaking onto Sunrise Beach, and listening to lorikeets trilling amongst the grevillea nectar, as

dawn sends shimmering rays over the Coral Sea. “La Maison Bleue may be a faded beauty, but it is definitely a potential jewel,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann who is taking the property to auction on Saturday, 8 May, 2021. “Apart from renovating, land banking and rebuilding considerations this presents an enormous opportunity for medium density development of the site. “The location too is second-to-none It’s an easy stroll along the sand to Sunshine Beach cafes and surf club, and a short drive to schools, Noosa Aquatic Centre, sophisticated Hastings Street and the world-famous Noosa National Park”.

PROPERTY NEWS

Noosa Heads. 235719

TIGHT RENTALS BEHIND HOMEBUYER PUSH THE first quarter results for 2021’s Queensland rental vacancies show 78.9 percent of the State’s rental markets remained static or experienced tighter strains on the number of rentals available. It’s a similar narrative for national vacancy rates, with empty rental listings remaining low across Australia. And it has attracted calls for the First Home Buyers Grant to be extended to existing properties. According to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s latest vacancy report, 70.2 percent of the rental vacancies remain under 1.0 percent, with the biggest pinch recorded in Brisbane’s inner city, with rates dropping 0.5 percent over the quarter. “Record-low interest rates, government support and stimulus measures, and the pandemic-driven stampede we’ve witnessed migrating beyond our southern boarders have sent Brisbane’s private rental market into uncharted territory, pushing vacancy rates down to their lowest levels since October 2012,” REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said. “In fact, our capital has seen rental markets across the entire metropolitan tighten quarter-on-quarter for the last four consecutive reporting periods, from Brisbane’s CBD out to the city’s outer rim.” Where the most pronounced rental demand levels far outstrip available vacancies is across regional Queensland, with the tightest vacancies currently to be found in the Fraser Coast’s Maryborough (0.2 percent) followed by the Southern Downs (0.3 percent) and Bundaberg 20 NOOSA TODAY

regions (0.5 percent), while a rate of 0.4 percent has been recorded across Gympie, Rockhampton and Sunshine Coast. Gympie has been below 1.0 percent for almost three and a half years while Bundaberg has been below that figure for the past four quarters. Meanwhile, the Gold Coast has tightened a further 0.3 percent to reach a record low of 0.6 percent in last 15 years of data records. With no support measures announced for the established housing sector in last year’s State Budget, Ms Mercorella said the REIQ believes the government must take immediate action to resolve our current rental crisis. “The rental sector plays a critical role in Queensland’s housing system and the role and size of our investor market has never been so important.

Friday, 30 April, 2021

“The State Government say they want to help households transition from community housing to housing in the private rental market. “Given that, more needs to be done to better support both increased and ongoing property investor activity in the Queensland property market and the contributions they make to the State economy.” The REIQ further supports measures that seek to amend the First Home Owner Grant to reinstate the grant for existing homes. In its current form the grant offers eligible recipients $15,000 towards buying or building a new home – covering new houses, units and townhouses as well as off-the-plan or build yourself options. It currently excludes existing housing. When it comes to new builds, it’s important to understand that the cost

of new construction has increased by 220.3 percent between 1995-2018 while established housing has risen on average 113.95 percent,. This is almost half for the same period, with annual price inflation ranging from 4.5 percent in the early 1990s through to 2.5 percent in the past decade. With CPI over that same period growing by 69.9 percent and mean gross household income increasing by 64.7 percent, it points to a potential housing affordability issue for many first home buyers across regional parts of Queensland in particular. “Moving from renting to owning a house is one of the greatest leaps Australians will make in their lives,’’ Ms Mercorella said. “With current historic low interest rates meaning lower repayments, we’re starting to see cases where mortgage repayments are in fact lower than rent levels. “So, by allowing first home buyers to access property beyond new construction and extend their support to purchase existing housing - to the same current value of less than $750,000 - it will expose them to more affordable price points and help more Queenslanders transition from renting to home ownership. “This in turn will help reduce pressure on the rental market while stimulating economic activity through the introduction of increased numbers to the broader property market. “And this will ultimately lead to increased real estate transactions which means increased taxation for the State.” ● noosatoday.com.au

HOME FOCUS

AUCTION STRATEGY A WINNER IN NOOSA HISTORICALLY Private Treaty has been the preferred method of selling property here in Noosa. Whereby the agent and the seller agree on a price and go to market at that set price. Usually, a sale is secured within a 90-day period at a possible 5% - 10% reduction of the actual asking price. It is human nature and a buyer trait to offer a discounted price, very rarely do we have buyers offer full price on a Private Treaty sale. However, we are finding the exact opposite when we market properties by the Auction method particularly during these very buoyant market conditions where there is a lack of stock and an abundance of buyers.

THE REAL THING OLIVIER MILLER PRINCIPAL LAGUNA REAL ESTATE 0419 472 071

Here at Laguna Real Estate, we have adopted a fast-track Auction campaign whereby we have embraced a strategy which has our sellers’ properties SOLD within four weeks often at a price that has exceeded our sellers expectations. Let me walk you through it. Week 1, photos, floor plans, ad prepara-

tion, upload to online portals and distribute to data base. Week 2, first ad in newspapers, first open home and generally first offer on the property. Week 3, second newspaper ad and second open home. By this time, we would have had up to 50 general enquiries and 25 inspections on the property which usually produces more offers. Week 4, Auction day - The reserve has been set, the auctioneer briefed, there are plenty of buyers and bidders in attendance and the property most probably will sell under the hammer - SOLD. Nine out of our last ten Auctions have sold on or before Auction day. 60% of them have sold above our sellers reserve.

· · ·

So, you can see that our current market conditions are perfectly matched to the Auction method of sale and here at Laguna Real Estate we are well trained and very experienced in conducting first class Auctions where the open forum for the buyers allows them to compete for the property confidently and in a transparent environment. Our sales agents are currently meeting with sellers to discuss various marketing strategies and to guide you on a selling price. Simply call one of our Laguna Real Estate sales professionals or call into one of our three Noosa offices to have an obligation free chat. ●
