The 30th Noosa Festival of Surfing got off to a flyer last Saturday, although not at the beach most competitors would have preferred to surf. With First Point almost flat and Noosa West only marginally better, organisers shifted the junior and teams events to Castaways Beach to take advantage of a south swell and a sand bank producing quality contestable waves. This was the first time the festival had moved away from Laguna Bay for several years, and some were skeptical about the decision, but it proved to be a good one, with the wind remaining light and the swell holding throughout the day, and as of midway through the festival, all of the best waves ridden had been at Castaways. A new swell was expected to form midweek and swing around to the east by today (Friday), with the exciting prospect of finals weekend being held at worldfamous First Point in the Noosa World Surfing Reserve.

Shark net catch By Margaret Maccoll “Humans have a morbid fear of being eaten alive. People are afraid but how dangerous are sharks really?” This was how Professor David Schoeman summed up the dilemma faced by marine experts and conservation group members who attended the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation’s Marine Species Protection Symposium at Sunshine Beach Surf Club on Tuesday. The symposium followed the release of the 2019 report, Queensland Shark Control Program: A Review of Alternative Approaches and plans by the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries to trial alternate shark control measures across the state. Noosa Surf Life Saving Club president Ross Fisher told the symposium it was the job of Noosa’s well trained, well-equipped volunteer lifesavers to protect and educate the public and save lives. The last fatal shark attack occurred at Noosa Main Beach in December 1961 when a 22-year-old surfer was taken by a bull shark. Shark nets were installed in 1962 and there

hasn’t been a fatal attack since. “Would I like the nets removed - no,” he said. “If they come up with a safe alternative - absolutely.” NBRF director Greg Schumann said a local solution was sought that protected beachgoers but minimised impacts on non-target species, including dolphins, turtles, whales, stingrays, dugongs and threatened shark species that fall prey to the nets. Tourism Noosa Head of Sustainability Juanita Bloomfield told participants Noosa was visited annually by 2.46 million people delivering $1.18 billion to our economy and 84 per cent of arrivals came to Noosa for the beach. “We’re one of the most popular tourist towns in Australia,” she said. In an international survey of 500 travellers 40 per cent of respondents said they had heard of shark attacks in Australia and 14 per cent said they would not travel to Australia because of shark attacks. Noosa Main Beach has two 180m long, 8m deep shark nets located about 80-90m from shore and three drumlines. Action for Dolphins CEO Hannah Tait aims to raise awareness of the high killing rate of

untargeted species by shark nets and promote the use of non-lethal shark deterrents. “Noosa wants to be seen to be protecting this wildlife,” she said. Since 2001 there have been more than 670 marine animals captured in Main Beach shark nets and drum lines, including three whales, two dugongs, more than 30 dolphins, 120 rays as well as turtles, she said. Lawrence Chlebeck from the Humane Society International said sharks were the species most impacted by the nets that killed 83 per cent of animals caught and drumlines that killed about 70 per cent caught, but not all shark species caught were dangerous to humans and some were threatened or critically endangered. He said a number of NSW Councils had stopped using shark nets in favour of smart drumlines. The devices alert the drumline contractor when a baited hook is taken giving them about 30 minutes to release them. Lawrence said during a trial of the smart drumlines there were 716 animals caught, 70

per cent of which were target sharks, with less than 1per cent killed, due to a rapid response and the use of large circle hooks. Flinders University Associate Professor Charlie Huveneers who has studied shark bite mitigation measures for the past decade said there was a plethora of alternate shark control measures available with none 100 per cent foolproof. Charlie put forward three methods of reducing the incidence and severity of shark bite. These involved reducing the interaction between sharks and humans with measures such as enclosures and early warning systems, using personal deterrents to reduce the likelihood of shark bite and using specially made swimwear to reduce the severity of shark bite. Having scientifically tested personal deterrents he said only electrical-based deterrents proved to have some ability to deter sharks. Tests on a specially made shark bite resistant neoprene material has shown it to have some effect on reducing the depth and size of shark bites but has not been tested on all species of shark, he said.

Shark net questions From page 1 USC geographer Dr Javier Leon said more and more research had used drones to study sharks. Easily accessible and relatively inexpensive drones can keep a watch on sharks and alert swimmers to their presence through an alarm system. He said it was reasonably easy to establish a logarithm to detect a species such as a shark and drones were already being trialled to monitor sharks. Dr David Schoeman questioned the real risk to humans of shark attack comparing the risk of death by shark bite to other causes of death. In any year 56 per cent of people die from heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease or diabetes and 200 die a year from drowning. More people die falling out of bed or from excessive heat. In the past year five people died from dog bite and three from shark bite. “As many people get eaten by dogs as by sharks but we don’t fear getting eaten by dogs,” he said. “The problem is perceived risk. We need to convince people sharks are not out there to kill them.” David described the death of animals in shark nets which drown “slowly and horribly” as “an inhumane catch”. “We have to have a strong rationale for doing it,” he said. Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Shark Control Program research and policy coordinator Dr Tracey Scott-Holland

Dr Daryl McPhee, Dr Javier Leon and Dr Charlie Huveneers told the symposium the government was progressing with an education program, Shark smart, aimed at curbing risky human behaviour and planned to trail smart drumlines in Central Queensland in the middle of the year. Tracey said much research had been conducted in the Whitsundays monitoring shark behaviour and movements. She said a drone trial had been launched in September 2020 in partnership with SLSC. During the trial 54 sharks were sighted and followed until they left swimming areas with beaches closed on four occasions. She said the department planned to work in partnership with SLSC to trail the Shark smart education program. Greg Schumann said local shark control options put forward during the symposium would be included in a report to be forwarded to the department for consideration.

The editor’s desk Shark nets. No one wants to come face to face with a great white on Noosa Main Beach or any other beach. But no one wants to see hundreds of marine creatures including dolphins, turtles and stingrays drowning 80m off the beach. Lifesavers no longer sit in towers with .303 rifles ready to shoot an approaching shark. Yes, that used to happen in Noosa. Are there better ways to than shark nets and drumlines to deter sharks and protect humans? This is an issue that’s not going away any time soon. What would the cost to Noosa’s tourism and economy of just one shark attack? But as a biosphere can we keep killing innocent marine creatures? It was an issue experts and conservationists discussed this week. What is happening with the Peregian Village eyesore that used to be the Friendly Grocer? As a local resident I see it as a waste of a space that could be a wonderful addition to the Village. While the development application is fought on appeal, the community association says enough is enough. They don’t want more ratepayers money wasted in court on an expired Sunshine Coast Council approval that did not meet Queensland building codes nor do they want something they consider out of character for the village. Why not submit a new plan that everyone would be happen to support?

Tewantin comes to life By Abbey Cannan Mural artists have been painting the walls of Tewantin with their incredible colours in preparation for the community’s street art launch party. Tewantin Traders Association president Barbara Sheriff said they have been on a mission to bring the character of Tewantin to life. “We received grants to commission four mural artists to paint murals on private walls in Tewantin CBD, as well as a mosaic artist to do four mosaic wall murals,“ she said. “It has been in the planning for the last six months and is finally coming to the completion. Everyone in the community has been so excited and talking about it.“ Artist Andrew Kelaher, also known as Grassi, spent two weeks painting a detailed Tewantin themed mural on a wall near the local Woolworths. “So far everyone is really stoked and loving it,“ he said. Although his work is now featured in galleries across Australia, including Nissarana Galleries in Hastings Street, Andrew was initially embarrassed by his talent as a young man. “As a teenager I didn’t want my friends to know I was an artist so I hid behind my nickname Grasshopper. I added an I instead of Y, making it Grassi, because I thought it was more artsy,“ he laughed. “Where we grew up in Sydney was a bit of a rough area and you could get beat up for things like being an artist. “I used to paint in secret. The funny thing was I had this alias for quite a while and I had sold a lot of works at a gallery in Sydney. “This was until I did a snow sculpture for a Corona ad and I got sponsored by them. All my friends came to the next exhibition because

Another well-known artist, Travis Vinson aka DRAPL, completed his massive mural in Tewantin in just two days.

Check out these murals and more as Mayor Clare Stewart launches the street art party in Tewantin on Saturday 22 May from 10am to 12pm. The party will feature musicians, stilt walkers, a roving magician, mosaic demonstrations and a kids painting workshop. The Street Art Project was made possible by

a RADF grant, Tourism Noosa grant and local businesses. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. For more information on Andrew Kelaher’s work visit grassi.com.au

Noosa Junction’s future potential to come into play Noosa Junction’s potential to become an entertainment precinct may rest on a decision by Noosa Council to enable one business to operate and play amplified music any night until 12am. Noosa Junction Properties P/L has applied to Council for changes to the Noosa Plan 2020 to enable its restaurant Herbert at 1 Arcadia Street to operate the same way as surrounding restaurants. Arcadia Walk is home to a number of restaurants that either have no limits on their hours of operation or were approved under previous plans to operate until 12am on any given day. Under the new Noosa Plan the area is identified as a Hospitality Precinct with operating hours for outdoor dining to cease at 10pm Sunday to Thursday and 12am Friday and Saturday and amplified music to cease at 9pm Sunday to Thursday and 10pm Friday and Saturday.

The applicant noted when the Noosa Plan 2020 was initially notified for public submissions, no hours of operation were detailed for the Major Centre zone and Noosa Junction precinct but were later included in response to residents’ concerns. “No liaison with the relevant traders association was undertaken and as a result, inappropriate limitations have been proposed for the major centre zone and hospitality precincts,” the applicant told Council. They said the imposed hours would put them at a disadvantage to neighbouring restaurants. At its General Committee Meeting on Monday councillors said they had received many emails from concerned businesses regarding the operating time restrictions proposed for the restaurant under the new Noosa Plan. In their report council officers considered the plan to be overly restrictive for a business area identified as a major centre but as noise

in outdoor dining areas was difficult to manage and had the potential to impact residential amenity they suggested it be more closely managed. Officers recommended the restaurant be approved to operate till midnight 7 days a week, but that the outdoor dining area cease at 10pm Sunday to Thursday. Councillors decided there was not enough information to make a decision on the material change of use application and deferred their vote until the Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening. Cr Amelia Lorentson called on officers to provide Council with the number and reasons from residents of noise complaints relating to Arcadia Walk. She raised concerns about the high costs of council applications incurred by businesses which in this case could include the cost of the application at about $5000, a noise report at about $2000-$5000 and possibly car parking contribution at about $24,000.

Cr Brian Stockwell said it was standard practise for businesses to obtain some level of approval. He suggested a restriction be made that included a requirement for a maximum decibel level. Mayor Clare Stewart called for a review of the granting of licenses in the area that would include consultation with business associations and the community. Cr Tom Wegener described Noosa Junction as being on the precipice of great changes. He said businesses interested in investing wanted to know where the level playing field was, they wanted certainty to invest and improve the precinct. Councillors unanimously called for officers to provide more information on comparative noise restrictions imposed on businesses in similar context and deferred their vote on the matter to the Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Huge crowds at surf dogs The surfers may have been elsewhere but the crowd was at First Point for the true stars of the Noosa Festival of Surfing – the surfing dogs! Over 4,000 surfing dog fans of all ages gathered in the sun at First Point, Noosa last Saturday for the 10th annual VetShopAustralia Surfing Dog Championships. Held on the first day of the Noosa Festival of Surfing, the Surfing Dog Championships always draws the biggest crowd of the entire festival and the 2021 event was no exception, despite the international travel ban and moving from its usual dates in March. The dynamic duo of Dan Bleicher and Pickles the Pug were the eventual winners of the 2021 Best Wave Award, impressing the judges with Pickles skill in her dismount. The competitors were determined to put on a show for the crowd and had to work hard to impress despite less of a swell than previous years. Leading the pack out for another year was former world champion tandem surfer Chris de Aboitiz accompanied by his dogs Rama and new addition Fearless Foily. Three-time winners Paul “Jonesy” Jones and his 11-year-old Spanador (Spaniel x Labrador) Hugsley were not far behind with kids Opal and Hughie coming along for a surf also.

NEWS

Ray at First Point.

The godfather of surfing By Phil Jarratt When this issue lands on your lawn (we live in hope) none of us will yet know who has won the prestigious open men’s title at the 30th anniversary Noosa Festival of Surfing. But this rather sentimental old writer is hoping like hell that Kingscliff’s Ray Gleave will be sipping champagne from the winner’s cup, just like he didn’t do 30 years ago, when he won the main event at the rather more humble inaugural Noosa Malibu Classic in 1992. Although Ray went on to win many titles at Noosa, he hasn’t competed here in several years but was brought back by the organisers as a special guest at the 30th anniversary. Is the 62-year-old aged carer ready to do battle with young surfers less than half his age? You bet. Ray was a late starter on a surfboard, spending his formative years inland at Uki, near Murwillumbah, on the family’s dairy farm. But when he was 14, dad decided to sell up and move to the coast at Kingscliff. As soon as Ray saw what was happening on the waves at Kingy, he decided to become a surfer. This was the very early 1970s, the start of the shortboard era, and longboards had all but disappeared. Ray borrowed a neighbour’s Joe Larkin pintail and taught himself to surf, soon moving on to a shortboard he got cheaply at the local dive shop. In a flight of unpredictability that would become his trademark, soon after he was old enough to drive Ray took a weekend surf trip to Coolum and saw an old Pacific Star Dunlop longboard for sale at the surf shop for $60. The old D-fin log would have been more than 15 years old when he bought it, and Dunlops were considered “kook” boards even when they first hit the market, but Ray mastered it, and surfed it for years. By the mid-1980s, when longboards started to come back into fashion and the first events

were held, Ray Gleave had a decided competitive advantage – years of experience on an oldfashioned log while the others had graduated from shortboards and were on a steep learning curve. The advantage became even more pronounced when he signed on with shaper Richard Harvey who built him a board just like his old Dunlop – complete with D-fin – only along more modern lines. Now Ray was unstoppable. By the time of the first Noosa Malibu Classic in 1992, his soulful and stylish surfing had earned him the moniker “godfather of soul”, even though he was barely in his 30s. The Deane brothers, Wayne and Robbye, were tough opposition, but Ray blitzed the field at Noosa, utilising his now-trademark drop-knee turn. This week in Noosa I asked him how he developed that classic and beautiful move: “Everyone would say I’d been watching (1966 world champion) Nat Young, but in fact I just worked out my style by myself. I never saw longboarderss in the movies or bought the magazines. I’d just go to work and go surfing. Then one day at Cabarita, a Byron guy named Anthony Stroud-Watts went straight past me and did this beautiful drop knee turn and I saw how he had his back foot, so I took that and perfected it my way. Of all the surfers doing drop knee turns now, I reckon only half of them are doing them technically correctly.” You’re never too old to learn, so I cheekily asked Ray to explain his technique: “The trick is you don’t put your knee on the deck, but you move your back foot far enough back that your knee is where your foot normally would be. Your toes are at two o’clock and your knee is above the deck. That’s how you get your turn in and come out of it with drive. I’ve never really told anyone that before, so keep it to yourself please.” The godfather let out one of his chuckles. Ray enjoyed huge competitive success in longboarding through the ‘90s and into

Ray at First Point this week. the new century, culminating in getting very close to two amateur world titles – second at Lacanau, France in 2002, and fifth in Brazil in 2004 – and also developed his own top-selling “Godfather Model” with Bob McTavish at Byron Bay, an association that continues after 28 years. But Ray also maintained a career in nursing that is now 35 years old. He says: “I started with Blue Care (or Blue Nurses, now Uniting) as an assistant cook and a cleaner, but they saw how well I interacted with the elderly and they put me into nursing. It’s not so much nursing as caring. I’m an aged carer and I just love my job. I was doing a TV interview here for the festival this week, so I rang work and made sure that they told all the old folk that I was going to be on so they could watch. They just loved it. Yes, it can be depress-

Pictures: ROB MACCOLL ing sometimes, not so much when people just fade away, but when you’re talking to them one moment and the next moment they’ve gone. But the highs outnumber the lows, by far.” Ray has been with second wife Linda for 14 years now, and together they have five children and five children and two grandchildren. He still surfs every day there is a wave, and stays as fit as a fiddle not by working out in a gym but through mowing lawns as a lucrative sideline when he’s finished his caring shifts each afternoon. He’s a humble man but he’s still proud of his competitive career, even though he’s given away his 364 trophies to various surfing clubs. And he’s still ripping! His tip for aspiring longboard competitors? “Surf to please yourself, not the judges.”

It’s shuck don’t chuck By Phil Jarratt The final funding instalment for the controversial Noosa River oyster reef project was announced last week, with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) Australia providing an extra $1.2 million for the restoration of shellfish ecosystems in the estuary. And the new motto for TNC Australia’s local shell recycling program is “Shuck Don’t Chuck”. The new contribution, funded from the $20 million TNC Australia-Australian Government Reef Builder Project, complements contributions by the Thomas Foundation and the Australian Marine Conservation Society ($1.2million) and Noosa Shire Council ($1.2 million), bringing the total allocation to restore shellfish reefs here to $3.6 million. But while the latest funding was welcomed by local, State and Federal government, critics of the project labelled it “yet another waste of money” and claimed that the oyster reef initiative was way behind schedule and unlikely to succeed if and when it is finished. On social media some critics reprised the words of fishing identity and unofficial leader of the oyster project opposition Trevor Clarey: “$5.5 million for not one oyster, not one prawn and not one more fish than what Mother Nature would normally give us.” (The amount is derived from adding disputed rate payer contributions). Critic John Lobb added: “The Nature Conservancy still have to gain permits to pollute the river with shell conglomerate but why does Noosa Shire Council have to partner with this long-term project?” Mr Lobb and Mr Clarey (who applied for membership of the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee but didn’t make the cut) are both long-time opponents of the Bring Back The Fish program, designed to restore the river habitat to its former glory, but it is also known that while the new river stakeholder committee members are of like mind on many issues, there

Oysters like these will be plentiful in Noosa’s future, but not for a while. is dissent on the oyster reef project. Committee member Dr Michael Gloster told Noosa Today: “There has been no committee discussion to date on the subject, but over the past few years, before the committee’s formation, some members have expressed different views on the oyster reef project. Since the committee’s formation, members have listened to and respected each other’s views

and found common ground on the issues of river congestion, anchoring, mooring, and live-aboards. I’m hopeful we’ll find common ground on oyster reef restoration in the Noosa River.” Oyster beds are natural structures that provide food-rich habitat for a diversity of fish species. Estuarine fishes use the beds for resting, hiding from predators, spawning and

Former mayor and Noosa River stakeholder committee member Noel Playford on an upriver research trip. Shellfish ecosystems were once common in the Noosa River estuary, but in the late 1800s and into the 20th century, extensive harvesting, along with changes in catchment land use practices and expanding urban development, caused their long-term decline. Noosa Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie welcomed the additional funding from the federal government for the science-backed project, involving three levels of government and TNC Australia. “The Noosa River is among 13 restoration sites around the country where reefs are being used to improve the abundance of marine life and water quality, now and for future generations,” he said. “It’s fantastic to see

this forward-thinking Federal, State and Local Government partnership recognising the long-term economic benefit for communities that can flow from creating healthy, natural marine environments.” Critics of the oyster reef project claim that it is a waste of money, has been delayed beyond reasonable time frames, and will never make a difference to oyster and fish stocks. Says Michael Gloster: “Talk of a significant delay is an exaggeration. My reading is that TNC is making haste slowly to ensure the design and construction for each reef is tailored precisely for each chosen location. A key lesson from earlier oyster reef trials was that in the Noosa River,

one size does not fit all.” During summer 2021 the project plans to establish oyster beds along selected shoreline fringes of Tewantin, Goat Island and Noosa Sound. Part of the restoration method uses recycled oyster shells to add to the rocky base and some shells will be seeded with oyster larvae to fast-track ecosystem development. To support this method, TNC Australia has established a local shell recycling program called Shuck Don’t Chuck. Oyster shells are collected from local seafood wholesalers and retailers, sun dried and eventually added to the rocky base of the oyster bed.

According to TNC, the most recent funding will double the number of oyster reefs to be constructed without significant increase to the rollout time. So does this mean we will soon be able to sit at oyster and wine bars along Gympie Terrace and enjoy freshly-shucked local oysters while the sun sets? According to one river committee insider, this fantasy is one of the reasons the project’s importance is frequently misunderstood: “At this stage oyster reefs are being re-created to filter out silt and mud to bring back the river’s health and to bring back the fish. Removing oysters for human consumption would be counter-productive until this is achieved.”

The residential property, designed by Tim Ditchfield Architects, was also awarded a regional commendation for residential architecture (Houses - New). The homeowners said the design complements their love of water, fresh air and natural light. “From the moment we wake up or drive into our driveway, to the time we retire for the night our house frames our views and highlights an ever-changing canvas around us,“ the owners said. “It’s both functional and fictional. Upon entering the building, people are immediately engaged with the broader landscape context.“ The judges all agreed as they said, “The building itself seems to lap at the water beyond.“ Inspired by a journey to Palm Springs and the spirit of mid-century modernism, the ar-

chitects have taken full advantage of the beautiful location and natural surroundings in the property’s design. Las Palmas compromises a setback front fence which creates a neighbourhood common area. This inviting space enables visitors to appreciate a framed view of the water through a deliberate gap in the built form, anchored by a generous courtyard plan set deep within the site. The built form is modernist, with strongly pronounced horizontal planes, simple forms and honest materiality. Externally the design employs a robust and timeless palette of in-situ concrete walls and roofs, minimalistic balustrading, feature breeze blocks, and honed concrete steps and terracing. All of the region’s awarded projects have now been shortlisted for the Australian Institute of Architects’ Queensland Architecture Awards. The state awards will be judged and awarded in June 2021.

A Noosa Heads home designed by Tim Ditchfield Architects has been named Building of the Year at the Australian Institute of Architects’ Regional Architecture Awards.

Let’s talk about sex Teaching kids about consent via videos about ‘milkshakes and tacos’? What a joke, says local filmmaker and mother Tasha Lawton. Sex and health education in Australian schools is about to get real. Talk Revolution is a new learning resource created to make it easier to open the dialogue around our most taboo topics, in a way that teenagers can relate to. Peer to peer. With more 3,900 young people alleging to have been sexually assaulted in some way whilst at school, Ms Lawton was not prepared to sit back and accept this statistic. “We can do better than that. In 2021, there really is no reason why we should be embarrassed or awkward to talk about sex or sexuality with our young people,” she said With the help of a passionate group of HPE teachers and academics from across Australia, Ms Lawton created Talk Revolution, Australia’s first school-based education program presented by kids for kids. Talk Revolution is a series of eight videobased learning modules covering sensitive teenage ‘talks’: Sex Talk, Drug Talk, Alcohol Talk, Eating Disorder Talk, Gender Based Violence Talk, Sexuality Talk, Period Talk, and Suicide and Self Harm Talk. Sex Talk in particular weighs in heavily when it comes to dealing directly with the matter of consent that is currently plaguing our young people and leaving the government, teachers and parents at a loss. “There really is nothing like this being offered in Australian schools and Talk Revolution fills this gap,” University of Canberra Health and Physical Education lecturer Dr Michael Davies said.

Talk Revolution is designed to get kids talking about tricky topics and removes the taboo and embarrassment that has surrounded these subjects for too long. The program has been developed for students in years 5-10 (ages 9-14) and covers 85 percent of the health content in the National/ NSW and Victorian HPE Curriculum. Taught over a four-week period, the eight modules include more than 70 videos and more than 500 pages of teacher notes, talking prompts, activities, a parent letter and poster. Ms Lawton said real, honest, relatable, trustworthy and effective education around sensitive teenage topics in Australia had been thin on the ground for far too long. “Talk Revolution will not only educate our kids respectfully but will open the dialogue to more meaningful conversations and greater care of one another,” she said. Ms Lawton had a less than ideal upbringing herself and now with two teenagers of her own, she wants to make sure they, and others, are equipped to make positive choices. “By encouraging open, honest, vulnerable and authentic conversations, we can empower our kids to make better, more informed decisions as they grow up,“ she said. “Our goal is to see Talk Revolution in every classroom and every home. This program is crucial when it comes to normalising the conversation and smashing the shame and taboo around these sensitive topics“. Talk Revolution offers an annual subscription for schools, as well as an option for families. Tasha Lawton believes the family program will help parents create a home where uncomfortable conversations can be discussed freely.

Dingo fences for K’gari cidents where people have been injured,“ Ms Scanlon said. “Fencing will protect visitors, Orchid Beach locals and K’gari’s native dingo population, who our rangers believe no longer show apprehension when approaching humans because they’ve either been deliberately fed or eaten food scraps.” Ms Scanlon said the department would engage immediately with the community and the Butchulla People’s representatives on the design and alignment of the fence, including the vehicle entry grids and pedestrian gates, with a tender process for construction to follow. The new fence will add to fencing already

installed around 24 campgrounds throughout K’gari, as well as the townships of Eurong, Happy Valley and Kingfisher Bay Resort. Mr Tantari welcomed the announcement and said K’gari was a key economic generator for the region, sparking $2.6 billion in economic activity each year together with the state’s other national parks. “We want families to continue to visit K’gari, because it means jobs for our community, our retailers, cafes and businesses,” Mr Tantari said. “The fencing will make sure visitors can be as safe as possible when visiting the island, but also that our native fauna populations are pro-

tected from human interaction. “It will also act as an important reminder for people be mindful that they’re visiting an area native to dingoes, and to be dingo-safe every time they visit.” Ms Scanlon said the fencing adds to increased penalties for intentionally feeding or disturbing dingoes, with on-the-spot fines of between $2,135 per offence to a maximum of $10,676. “The Butchulla people have managed K’gari as its traditional owners for thousands of years, and we’ll work with them to get this right,” Ms Scanlon said.

The Queensland Government will invest $2 million to build fencing around Orchid Beach on K’gari (Fraser Island) to reduce interactions between the island’s dingo population and visitors. Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said close to seven kilometres of fencing would be installed around the township after concerns were raised on behalf of the community by Hervey Bay MP Adrian Tantari about recent interactions between visitors and the island’s native fauna. “While families heading to the island have remained vigilant when travelling near dingo habitat, there have sadly been a number of in-

Tourism Noosa’s marketing activity continues to support tourism businesses and provide marketing opportunities for members, with a wide range of activity taking place. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said, “We have a diverse range of marketing opportunities to support our members being delivered at the moment.” “From taking part in mentoring programs, advertising opportunities in business event specific publications, our co-operative marketing campaign and being involved in domestic roadshows to showcase product to travel agents, we offer it all.” Current activity highlights include the Domestic Travel Trade Roadshow, Weekender TV Noosa Episode, Sunrise in Noosa, the new Business Events Meeting Planner, and a Mentoring Program. Tourism Noosa Trade and Business Events Manager Vynka Hutton said, “Working with trade partners has never been more important.” “Consumers will continue to rely heavily on travel agents as being one of the most influential, trusted and important sources when booking holidays, perhaps more than ever. “With borders re-opening and sometimes closing, people will book through travel agents for the security, flexibility and safety they provide, due to the risk of border closures and cancellations.” Tourism Noosa’s new winter campaign has launched in domestic markets and New Zealand, with beautiful new messaging inviting travellers to enter the world of Noosa. Targeting the drive and interstate markets, including cities with direct flights to the Sunshine Coast, the campaign features a range of activity across print, digital, newsletters and social media.

Saving some soil to save the planet

Eumundi Gin charity Desperate to do what they can to assist families in India and Nepal in the midst of the COVID crisis, the team at The Imperial Hotel and Eumundi Distillers have announced they will donate 100 per cent of the sales from their Folktale Gin to registered charity Forget Me Not Australia for the rest of the month of May. Hotel and Distillery Manager Paul Thomas said the Eumundi Distillers and Folktale Gin have a long association with Forget Me Not - a Queensland-based registered charity serving to honour the rights of children in India and Nepal and working to ensure children are thriving, vibrant and connected to family, community and opportunity. “Each bottle of Folktale Gin is embellished with a beautiful, beaded tassel made for us by Banaras Beads in Delhi, who are also strong supporters of Forget Me Not projects in India,” Paul said. “We’ve been absolutely gutted to receive the news that the Managing Director of Banaras Beads, our friend Akash Gupta has passed away due to COVID. “Akash was a fit 48-year-old man, a husband and father of two little girls. He had visited the projects in Kalyanpuri Slums and was diagnosed with COVID 48 hours later.“ The situation is truly catastrophic. “We are told that loved ones are dying at a rate of one person every four minutes in India; there are next to no ICU beds; oxygen supplies are dwindling; and people do not have access to medical care and medicines,” Paul said. “And at its most basic, we must remember that if daily wage earners are unable to work today, they’re unable to feed their families tomorrow.“ Paul explains the complexities around burials. “Hindus must have individual cremations for reincarnation, and every cremation of a loved one requires sandalwood, ghee and timber - all substantial expenses in desperate times,” he said. “Luckily the team at Forget Me Not Australia have the people on the ground in India and Nepal to ensure funds directly assist people in their time of need.“ For the rest of the month of May, Eumundi Distillers will donate 100 per cent of the sales of any Folktale product to Forget Me Not Australia to help purchase PPE, funeral items and food. Direct donations can also be made to Forget Me Not Australia at www.fmn. org.au

By Margaret Maccoll Twenty-six years ago Graeme Sait’s daughter Rachel was hit by a car outside her school. She was taken to ICU in a coma with suspected brain damage and given little chance of survival. Not a particularly religious man Graeme made a deal with God that should she survive he would do something of value. Graeme said she woke from her coma only moments later and he went in search of a project. He developed a passion for soil and made a decision to become an expert in soil health, focusing on the link between soil biology and planetary health. The co-founder and CEO of Nutri-Tech Solutions (NTS), is an author/educator responsible for over 300 published articles and a popular book, Nutrition Rules. 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 is an internationally sought-after speaker, specialising in soil, plant, animal and human health and wellness. With his travel curtailed by COVID Graeme last week spoke at Noosa Parks Association’s Friday Forum. “Top soil is the most precious commodity. It’s what feeds us,” he told full house of guests. “Every year we’re losing 7-10 tons.” Soil is disappearing with erosion from land clearing, poor land management and extreme weather events and each year farmers are pouring more and more fertilisers and pesticides on soil to obtain their single crop yields. After creating a five-day course to teach farmers to grow food in what he calls nutrition farming he has trained more than 47,000 farmers worldwide. “Nature is our whole blueprint,” he said. Graeme considers food production the most important of all professions. He believes farmers must be supported and farming needs to be more profitable and sustainable. To assist farmers and the health of the planet his aim is to improve soil health and consequently plant and human health. Instead of planting a single crop Graeme educates farmers on the benefits of growing a diverse range of plants. The diversity above ground feeds the diversity below ground, feeding the soil, he said. In a natural system each plant feeds a different group of organisms. A healthy system requires five families of

Graeme Sait plants including grasses, cereals and legumes which, he said puts the plants into hypo drive. “If you do that it’s a total change,” he said. In his nutrition farming method plants in combination create a healthy system that feeds the insects that in turn feed the birds and animals, aerates the soil, resists disease, creating more resilient plants that grow without the need for toxic chemicals. By teaching people how to improve soil Graeme is also helping to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere with a little help from fungi, which he describes as one of the most important elements on the planet because of its ability to stabilise humus, the organic com-

ponent of soil, enabling it to hold carbon in the soil. In addition to farming education NTS has developed a range of more than 200 problem solving products, including the world’s largest range of organically certified inputs. Exported to more than 50 countries the products his soil therapy and plant therapy services have become very popular. Graeme is based on the Sunshine Coast from where he operates three local farms including his most recent acquisition, an orchard. He finds that when people taste this food they are more inclined to support regenerative agriculture in the future.

Voluntary Assisted Dying bill in Queensland Parliament A bill to establish Voluntary Assisted Dying laws will be introduced to parliament next week. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the bill’s introduction fulfilled a commitment she made to the people of Queensland prior to the state election in October. “For many, this will be the most important work this parliament will do,” the Premier said. “We’re committed to delivering a $171 million investment in palliative care options but many people who have watched a loved one suffer feel passionately that there must be a dignified alternative. “Equally there are those whose opposition is as deeply and sincerely felt. “That is why, when the time comes, Government MPs will vote according to their conscience. “This must be beyond politics. “I urge all Queenslanders to follow the debate and participate in it with the utmost respect for other people and other points of view.” The Premier said the community could now read the Queensland Law Reform Com14 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 21 May, 2021

mission’s report on a legal framework for voluntary assisted dying and the QLRC’s draft legislation would be considered by cabinet. The bill will be introduced to parliament and referred to the Health and Environment Committee for further public consultation. “I thank the QLRC and their support team for their diligent work and wide-ranging consultation,” the Premier said. “They worked hard to have the draft bill ready by the May 10 deadline. “The commission listened to a range of health practitioners, organisations that support or oppose voluntary assisted dying, religious bodies, unions, legal bodies, members of the public and many more. “The result is proposed legislation that QLRC has intended to be ‘compassionate, safe and practical’. “All interested parties will be able to have their say on the final shape of any legal framework through the committee process. “I urge all Queenslanders to follow discussion about this very important topic and be respectful in how they engage with others.” Deputy Premier Steven Miles said the proposed framework considered Queensland’s

decentralised population. “Similar legislation has been enacted in other jurisdictions,” the Deputy Premier said. “But as the QLRC rightly points out, what works in New Zealand may not necessarily work in a large and decentralised state like Queensland. “Any legislation needs to meet the needs of our diverse population and take account of access to specialists. “It must be fair and equitable for all Queenslanders. “The draft legislation recognises everyone has an inherent dignity and should be treated with respect and their autonomy when making end-of-life choices should also be respected.” Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said previous work of parliamentary committees had found health practitioners are generally supportive of voluntary assisted dying and support it being legalised in Queensland. “It’s important there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect both those who seek to use voluntary assisted dying as an end-of-life option and medical practitioners and entities asked to participate in the pro-

cess,” the Minister said. “That’s what the QLRC has sought to accomplish with a staged process. “Under the draft laws, more than one medical opinion is needed and there are requirements around eligibility and decisionmaking capability as well as provisions for medical practitioners to conscientiously object. The QLRC has recommended that to access voluntary assisted dying, a person must: Have an eligible condition that is advanced and progressive and expected to cause death within 12 months; Have a capacity to make a decision around end-of-life choices; Be acting voluntarily and without coercion; Be at least 18 years of age; and Satisfy residency requirements including being an Australian citizen or permanent resident and have been a resident of Queensland for at least a year. Under the process proposed by the QLRC, a health practitioner must assess a request to access voluntary assisted dying and if that’s approved, it’s referred for further assessment.

Help those with dementia By Abbey Cannan Three local organisations - NoosaCare, Tewantin-Noosa RSL and LiveLife Pharmacy group - are banding together to improve residential aged care services for members of the community living with dementia. As part of the new initiative, NoosaCare will provide the staff and facilities through a new 32-bed, two-storey residential building and welcome centre on the Carramar site at Tewantin. The Tewantin-Noosa RSL and the Livelife Phamacy group will provide additional donor funding for equipment and garden landscaping and this contribution will be recognised in the naming of particular areas of the new facility. “We have always had a very positive relationship with both organisations and we are so thrilled that they have agreed to donate further funding to our new dementia project,“ CEO for NoosaCare Megan D’Elton said. “We already have an existing 32-bed specialist dementia accommodation unit known as the Cartwright community located on the Carramar site. Once the new building is completed later in the year we will have double the capacity to assist members of our community living with dementia as well as their families. “As Mayor Clare Stewart recognised when she turned the first building sod some months ago, the new project is a significant contribution to the local area and will position NoosaCare as one of the largest providers of dementia care on the Sunshine Coast. “By focusing donor funding on gardens, outdoor spaces and specialist equipment we are able to build on existing services to provide additional memory support, activities and targeted stimulations for our residents.“ Tewantin Noosa RSL Vice Chairman Dean Harlow said it has been wonderful watching

Tewantin Noosa RSL Vice Chairman Dean Harlow and Chairman Barry Bridger, CEO of NoosaCare Megan D’Elton, and CEO of the LiveLife Pharmacy Group Clint Coker. NoosaCare grow over the years. “This used to be family property for me at one stage before it was developed so it has a special place in my heart,“ Mr Harlow said. “The RSL loves to do what we can to help the community right through from children to the elderly.“ CEO of the LiveLife Pharmacy Group Clint Coker said creating a friendly environment for the residents was important to them.

“We donate to a lot of community clubs and this just seemed like the natural thing to do,“ Mr Coker said. Ms D’Elton said NoosaCare would welcome further donations from other businesses, organisations or individuals. “As a not for profit we need to rely on very careful financial management of government and resident funding as well as general philanthropy. We would love others to follow the

example of the Tewantin-Noosa RSL and the LiveLife Pharmacy Group and help us to continue to do the extraordinary for residents living with dementia,“ she said.

Queensland community services group Be is celebrating National Volunteers Week by highlighting the contribution and dedication of volunteers across the Sunshine Coast. Local resident Janny McDonald is just one of the incredible volunteers who freely give their time to be a part of Be’s companionship program. Janny’s history with volunteering stretches back 22 years, including the past four with Be. “When I retired, I felt I like there was only so much I could do around the house and I decided I could offer more by volunteering,” Janny said. “Volunteering has changed my life and I can see our clients feel the same. Clients are always very grateful, sometimes I am the only person they have seen for a week or more so when we catch up I can tell that their smiling faces say it all.”

Police are appealing for public assistance following an incident of dangerous driving spanning from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane on Sunday morning. At 7am, a man was driving his vehicle southbound on the Bruce Highway at the Glasshouse Mountains when a 2006 model, gold coloured Nissan X-Trail reportedly cut in front of him, forcing him to take evasive action into another lane. It was then reported the driver of the X-Trail began throwing items from his vehicle at the man’s car before swerving at him and attempting to run him off the road. The dangerous driving continued to be observed by the man for approximately 30mins until they reached the Gateway Bridge where the vehicles became separated. Multiple reports were made to police in relation to the manner of driving of the X-Trail as it continued south on the M1 towards South Brisbane. Officers are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage of the movements of the Gold X-Trail (similar to the one pictured) between the Glasshouse Mountains and South Brisbane to make contact. Additionally, any further witnesses to the dangerous driving are urged to contact police as a matter of priority.

GPS devices to tackle juvenile crime Courts will be able to order that certain hardcore youth offenders are to be fitted with GPS devices as a condition of bail from Monday 17 May 2021 in the latest instalment of the Palaszczuk Government’s crackdown on youth crime. Police Minister Mark Ryan said government’s suite of strong new Youth Justice reforms are specifically designed to target hardcore recidivist offenders. “This trial of GPS monitoring devices gives police and the courts another tool to target the small minority that commit the majority of offences,” the Minister said. “Courts will be able to order 16 to17-yearolds to wear GPS devices if they are given bail, providing an extra layer of security and increased safety for the community. “The devices will be monitored around the clock by Queensland Corrective Services who have extensive experience with this technology.”

Mates raise lots of money for PTSD In 2019, Murph Manthey and Rachel Jarvis and Mr Ian Rowe set out to raise awareness in the rise in Veterans suicides associated with severe PTSD. Murph has firsthand knowledge of this as her son still struggles to this day with severe PTSD after returning from Afghanistan. Their ultimate goal was for Murph and Rachel to summit Mt Kilimanjaro to show that there was no mountain too high to conquer. Over a period of a few months, they held numerous fundraisers to raise awareness and funds. Due to Covid, the chances of overseas travel

and climbing the summit are unlikely in the short term, so they decided there could not be a worthier cause than Mates 4 Mates to donate all the money raised. This month they handed over a cheque totalling $11,922.20 to Mates 4 Mates to assist them with their mission to help our veterans. Murph said none of it would have been possible without generous donations from the public and assistance with the fundraisers. “Special thanks goes to Mr John Verrell, Dr Andrew Spall of Tewantin Medical Centre, Tewantin Vietnam Veterans and John Laws for their donations and to Lucy Sanderson, Cape Tiene, Petra Bensen, Sophie Morgan, Stumpy,

JB, Sammy Goodridge, Lexie Mawn and Mr Bill Kippen for generously donating their time,“ he said. “Also a special thanks to General Manager, Julie McLaws for allowing us to use the Tewantin Noosa RSL to hold fundraisers.“ Mates 4 Mates mission is to provide physical, psychological, and social support services to improve the wellbeing of the military family. In Australia, there is estimated to be more than half a million veterans. Many have been impacted by service-related injuries and need support to help get them through difficult times.

The Sing Thing group dressed for Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

Singing is the thing to do By Margaret Maccoll Not only is singing an uplifting experience it can strengthen vocal cords, improve speech and swallowing as a group of people with Parkinsons and other neurological conditions have discovered through The Sing Thing. Established about two years ago by speech therapist Sarah Lock and singing teacher Kath Williams the group meet weekly for voice strengthening, exercises and singing.

Sarah said about 15 to 25 people come each week and the benefits are physical as well as social and emotional. “It’s a really joyful thing for people to come along to,“ she said. As well as singing and movement to music participants gain much from their social connections. “People have different levels of severity,“ Sarah said.

They have reported improved communication and swallowing and supported each other in various ways. “Parkinsons affects everyone differently,“ Sarah said. “They get suggestions from each other of how to deal with challenges. They can learn strategies from each other. There’s a great sense of cameraderie and increased sense of wellbeing.“ The group is involved in a US-based Parkinson’s Voice Project, a non profit organisation

that has developed an effective program that combines education, individual speech therapy and group sessions. They have also put together a concert and plan another concert at the end of this year. The group meets on Thursdays at 12.30pm at the Salvos Hall in Bartlett Street, Noosaville. New members are welcome as well as volunteers who are interested in communicating and singing.

$30M boost to domestic and family violence services The Palaszczuk Government is boosting support for victims of domestic, family and sexual violence with extra funding for services across the state. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the extra $30 million today during Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month. “While, as a society, we must do everything we can to stop domestic and family violence, recent tragic events have reminded us again of how critical support services are to Queensland women when they come forward,” the Premier said. “The additional $30 million will be delivered over the next four years and is on top of the $7.5 million extra we committed last year to cope with the higher demand on services during the global pandemic.“ The Premier said domestic, family and sexual violence is an incredibly complex issue to tackle - but as a government we are tackling it head on.

“We have invested more to prevent it than any other government in Queensland’s history and have worked hard on generational reforms,” Ms Palaszczuk said. “That includes changing attitudes and strengthening justice responses including implementing respectful relationships in schools, establishing specialist domestic and family violence courts and funding new shelters for people escaping violence and abuse. “We know there is still a lot of work to do and that’s why we have established the independent Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce to examine how best to legislate against coercive control in Queensland and to examine more broadly women’s experiences in the criminal justice system. “Public submissions are now open for women to come forward and confidentially and securely share their experiences and insights and I encourage them to do so.” Treasurer Cameron Dick said the extended funding will provide certainty to vital ser-

vices providers across Queensland. “This commitment means that victims of Domestic and Family Violence will have better access to supporting, counselling and programs that will help them rebuild their lives. “That support involves immediate emergency assistance to provide safety from dangerous situations, but also long-term measures that provide women and children with stability, security and a safer future.” Attorney-General and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Shannon Fentiman said Queensland had seen an increase in demand on services. “This has been driven by recent tragic events, the COVID-19 pandemic and with brave women like our Australian of the Year Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins coming forward and putting women’s safety and sexual assault on the national agenda,” Minister Fentiman said.

“That’s why we are taking action to give services a boost, with extra funding of $30 million to be delivered over four years because we know more needs to be done to end violence against women. “Funding will be made available to help existing services meet the immediate demand in the short term, with consideration being given to how the funding should be prioritised in the longer term to respond to community need.” Minister Fentiman thanked those who had shared their stories, the thousands of women who marched and the leadership of the Premier for putting women’s issues on the national agenda. “This is all a reflection of the thousands of women who marched, who spoke out and who said ‘enough is enough’ - no more violence. These brave and courageous women came forward and forced the nation to take notice - this is who we have to thank,” Minister Fentiman said.

Report highlights the value of volunteers in Queensland Volunteering Queensland last week launched the first State of Volunteering in Queensland 2021 Report. The report found that, remarkably, 3 million people (over 75% of the population) volunteered 900 million hours in 2020, a year that was challenging for all. “We have always believed that the majority of Queenslanders volunteer in some way. Now we have the evidence to confirm that, with over 3 million Queenslanders volunteering - that’s a participation rate of 75.7% and certainly something we should all be proud of and celebrate,” Volunteering Queensland CEO Mara Basanovic said.

“Whilst we now have evidence of the high participation rate in both informal and formal volunteering, there are still many challenges facing the volunteering sector. 38% of volunteer-involving organisations saw a decrease in their volunteer numbers, with time and health reasons being the main barriers to people being able to volunteer.“ The report has uncovered the true value of volunteering in the State, with volunteers contributing almost $84 billion in value to the Queensland community. Another astounding finding is the size of

the volunteer workforce in Queensland. The volunteer workforce is three times the size of the Queensland Government and nearly as big as the private sector. The cost to replace the labour of this workforce in 2020 would have been approximately $37.1 billion. “We have always known that volunteering is a valuable contributor to Queensland’s economy. Now we have the hard facts, each year volunteering contributes almost $84 billion to our state,“ she said. “Not only does volunteering contribute almost $84 billion annually to the community,

it also offers a significant return on investment. For every $1 invested in volunteering, it delivers a return of $4.10 back to the community.”Queenslanders are motivated to volunteer to help each other, the simple act of giving. As we celebrate National Volunteer Week 2021, we recognise the selfless act of over 3 million Queenslanders who are giving their precious time for an average 5.7 hours every week to help others. On Friday 21 May Noosa Council will recognise the many volunteers across Noosa with a National Volunteers Week breakfast at Tewantin Noosa RSL. Friday, 21 May, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 21

High praise for new high wire park

porting strong occupancy. “TreeTop Challenge Junior is one of three new attractions to share in $1.85 million in Palaszczuk Government support to bring more families to the Sunshine Coast for a great holiday experience.” General Manager David Taylor said they were thrilled with their latest venture - a huge adventure park for children up to 10 years old, with challenges they probably hadn’t experienced before.

“Thanks to Queensland Government support, we’ve not only come through last year’s COVID-related problems but created a truly unique and exciting adventure experience that families will love,” Mr Taylor said. “It will be a hit with Sunshine Coast residents and visitors alike,” he said. Open from 9am to 5pm daily, TreeTop challenge operates on land leased from the Big Pineapple.

On Wednesday Queenslanders said thanks to those at the heart of healthcare on International Nurses Day. Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Yvette D’Ath praised frontline staff for their constant care and compassion for Queenslanders. “Queensland nurses are the backbone of our health system and more importantly, they are patient advocates often also counselling families during difficult times,” Ms D’Ath said. “Nurses and midwives make up 63 per cent of the clinical workforce in Queensland. This equates to more than 46,000 individuals supporting our community around the clock. “Since 2015 the Palaszczuk Government has delivered 7500 additional nurses and midwives, and legislated nurse to patient ratios, which research shows can reduce the chance of re-admission and result in shorter hospital stays.” Minister D’Ath said the Queensland Government was proud to support nurses through several nursing initiatives across the state’s hospital and health services. “In March this year, we established a nursing Pandemic Surge Pool to provide nursing graduates the opportunity to start their careers,” Ms D’Ath said. “The Palaszczuk Government has also funded about $245 million for the nurse navigator initiative between the 20152016 and 2020 and 2021 financial years. “I want to congratulate all Queensland’s nurses and midwives for their outstanding work in caring for Queenslanders.”

Australia’s largest high wire park, built specifically for junior adventurers, has opened on the Sunshine Coast. Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton said the Palaszczuk Government had backed TreeTop Challenge Junior Adventure Park with $500,000 from the Growing Tourism Infrastructure Fund. “TreeTop Challenge Junior Adventure Park is a great addition to the Sunshine Coast’s growing line up visitor attractions,” Mr Skelton said. “The Sunshine Coast has always been a family-friendly destination with a relaxed holiday lifestyle and outdoor experiences that everybody can enjoy. “With more than 50 adventures to keep pint-sized explorers and their families engaged and entertained, they will want to return again and again. “TreeTop Challenge Junior Adventure Park has potential to encourage another 15,000 visitors to explore the Sunshine Coast. “That’s why the Palaszczuk Government has backed this innovative project.” Spread over 1.2 hectares of rainforest, TreeTop Challenge Junior Adventure Park has five courses featuring rope bridges, flying foxes, swings and jumps. The park was officially opened for adventure today by Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe. “TreeTop Challenge Junior will be a big hit with young families,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “After a cracking Easter, the Sunshine Coast continues to do well as a weekend escape destination with airport traffic up by 12 per cent and accommodation providers re-

Twin mum cancer shock When Sunshine Coast mother Deborah Butler was told she had stage 4 melanoma, she felt numb with fear. “I was devasted because I had two gorgeous six-year-old daughters and I didn’t want them to grow up without a mother,” Mrs Butler said. “They were too young to watch me die and I had so much to teach them.” The 54-year-old Golden Beach resident is sharing her story to increase melanoma awareness and urged locals not to put off their annual skin check. It comes as Wishlist funds a $9,837 research project for an Australian-first pilot study into the early treatment of skin cancer at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH). “Identification and treatment of early skin cancer is vital to keep people safe from the effects of advanced cancer,” Mrs Butler said. “If my daughters ever get skin cancer I want the very best early detection and treatment options available to them. Cancer is complicated and research is essential to protecting families from the devastation that advance cancer causes. “I’m grateful and proud that Wishlist has funded research in this area.” In October 2017, Mrs Butler went to her doctor because a mole had become ‘scaly’. Following a biopsy, she was diagnosed with melanoma - stage 1B. Despite a 1.4% chance of the cancer spreading, Mrs Butler was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in August 2019 when tumours were detected in her brain. “Thankfully, the treatment for melanoma has advanced significantly in the last five years, to the point where approximately 40% of people with advanced melanoma can survive for longer than five years if they get the right treatment,” Mrs Butler said. Following an arduous journey of medication, immunotherapy, radiosurgery and radiation, Mrs Butler’s scans have shown the tumours are now inactive and shrinking. “The treatment that I received at SCUH has been exceptional, with the equipment to conduct nearly all of my treatment locally. “This is really important because travelling to Brisbane for treatment can become really problematic - you need someone to drive you there and back, or you have to relocate.” “The staff at SCUH have been nothing but wonderful in their care for me. I was petrified

Deborah Butler with her twin daughters. when my husband Adrian and I arrived for my first appointment at the Adem Crosby Centre, but every time I walk into the centre now I feel at peace and protected. “I have no doubt that the excellent care that I have had at SCUH has saved my life.” Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe said more than $270,000 worth of funding had been directed to research projects this financial year, including $9,837 towards the skin cancer pilot study headed by Senior Medical Officer and SCUH Head of Dermatology Dr Leith Banney. “It is vital that we continue to grow our funding commitment for research here on

the Sunshine Coast and we are very excited to fund Dr Banney’s project which is comparing two treatments for early skin cancer,” Ms Rowe said. “This research will hopefully find whether a specific combination cream treatment for early skin cancer lesions is more effective and better tolerated than standard skin cancer treatment. “According to statistics, two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70, so this research will definitely benefit locals and enhance treatment on the Coast.” Wishlist has directed more than $4 million

towards the support of local cancer patients including the $1.4 million multidisciplinary Cancer Centre which opened at Nambour Hospital in 2006, the fit-out of the gym dedicated to Adem Crosby Centre patients at SCUH, and the ongoing provision of affordable accommodation at Reed House and Wishlist House. Wishlist’s latest project Wishlist Centre (to open next year) will offer cancer patients and others a comfortable and supportive environment for patients who are receiving ongoing medical treatment.

Volunteer brekkie The Parkyn’s Hut family of volunteers celebrated 2021 Volunteers Week with a special breakfast, hosted by the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club this week What an excellent venue, on a beautiful Noosa morning to reward these wonderful volunteers who man the tourist information centre in Tewantin.

The Zonta Club of Maroochy along with the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) are delighted to welcome Rosie Batty AO as the keynote speaker for a free forum on domestic and family violence. It commences at 8am on Saturday 22 May in Lecture Theatre 1 at USC but can also be accessed online via Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. Rosie Batty, the 2015 Australian of the Year and a USC Honorary Doctor, has used her position of influence to advocate for systemic and attitudinal change to address the family violence epidemic. Her passion comes from the tragic loss of her son Luke, who was murdered by his father following years of domestic violence despite intervention and custody orders in place. The forum will also include presentations from a variety of key stakeholders on the Sunshine Coast who are involved in tackling family violence. They will outline the projects they are currently running and will cover a diverse range of approaches. Following morning tea there will be a panel discussion that will cover a scenario as well as addressing questions from the floor. Due to COVID regulations, it is requested that people register online to attend. Zoom attendees are also required to register so that the link can be emailed prior to the event.

SunnyKids provides emergency accomodation, counsel By Margaret Maccoll It’ll take a societal shift to make changes to domestic and family violence but SunnyKids is at the frontline of services across Noosa and the Sunshine Coast and aims to be part of the change. Each year SunnyKids provides 8000 nights of emergency accommodation as well as domestic violence and referral counselling to Sunshine Coast families in need. Spokeswoman Alex Comino said it was difficult to gauge the extent of the problem in the region but the organisation had seen an increase in cases since COVID19 hit, whether it was due to an increased incidence or more people coming forward asking for assistance. Alex said just recognising they were in domestic violent situations was difficult for many people. She thinks through education and awareness programs people need to be shown what coercive control or subversive control in a relationship looks like. “People often don’t identify their situation with domestic violence. They may have been raised that way or it’s their culture and they think it’s normal,” she said. In other instances people are embarrassed by their situation or they don’t feel they can afford to leave a bad relationship and live on their own. “It takes a lot to get out of a situation.” Drug issues and children further complicate DV situations as victims and perpetrators may be connected through their drug use or their children’s lives. She said while the organisation worked closely with police on the Sunshine Coast many clients feared involving the police, in some cases think their action could bring consequences that worsen their situation. “We’re lucky we have a good relationship with the police,” she said. “But some families find it hard to trust the police.” People are often let down by the legal system. They don’t have enough evidence for a protection order or fail to achieve results in the courts. Alex said violence in families was displayed in a variety of ways and SunnyKids had seen the whole gamut. “There’s a lot of physical violence, a lot of strangulation,” she said. “There’s all sorts of DV - stalking, perpetra26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 21 May, 2021

The SunnyKids team tors who are mums or grandmums. There are lots of different dynamics.” New technology has changed the face of domestic violence for young people as mobile phones become the tool of choice for perpetrators. “They think it’s cute for their partner to be jealous or controlling,” she said. “I think it’s something that needs to be taught in school so kids have a good understanding of what healthy and abusive relationships look like.” She said the greatest risk for DV victims came when they decided to leave a violent relationship. “If someone calls and they need to leave we will work with them and support them.” SunnyKids works with DV Connect to place victims at risk into hotels or refuges when they have space available and also partners with schools. Alex said working in DV could be difficult and frustrating but they were heartened by the

positives that did occur. “We have progress. We see families come into refuges then see how much they change,” she said. “(Overall) I don’t feel we’re gaining much success,” Alex admits. “We can support people. We can case manage the family, help them move away and find a new place. “But there’s so much that needs to change.” “We want change. We need people doing this job. We need people who are passionate about making a change. “We really want to be part of the change. It may not be in our lifetime but we have to start somewhere.” Sometimes just planting the seed in someone’s mind that they can change their situation and improve their lives can make all the difference but it may be a long time before they see any result. “We may not see the outcome,” she said. “A lot of victims go back to an abusive relation-

ship, then they leave, then they go back. “We have clients we look after for years before they say now I’m ready. “We travel with them and do what we can.” For more information visit www.sunnykids. org.au If you or someone you know needs help phone the domestic violence helpline on 1800 811 811. National Volunteer Week this week highlights the need for volunteers for organisations like SunnyKids. If you’re looking for somewhere to volunteer consider becoming a SunnyKids Village Buddy and volunteer your time to be with young people who has a need for another positive adult in their lives. SunnyKids Village Buddies Program engages the local community to help raise the kids in the local ‘Village’. Village Buddies are screened, trained and matched to young buddies interests and requirements. It may be as simple as kicking a ball around in a park, teaching a child to fish or taking a child to sports sessions or art classes.

SATURDAY

JURASSIC WORLD NINE, 8.30pm

A couple of decades after Jurassic Park scared the bejeezus out of audiences, this new instalment, produced by original director Steven Spielberg, takes the tale of over-eager humans at the mercy of prehistoric animals to a whole other level. Jurassic World is a fully functioning dinosaur theme park that attracts thousands of visitors a day. But when a genetically modiﬁed hybrid dinosaur experiment creates Indominus Rex, well, things don’t go so well. Stars Chris Pratt.

SUNDAY

CELEBRITY APPRENTICE AUSTRALIA NINE, 7pm

Before he was the Twitter-freewheeling US President, Donald Trump did something else with gusto: uttering the catchphrase “You’re ﬁred!” as host of The Apprentice. The saying became a cultural phenomenon and is still used on the show’s oﬀshoots – this one included. CEO Lord Alan Sugar (right) has fronted the British variant for 15 seasons and brings his expertise to this Aussie season, premiering tonight. He is joined by Boost Juice founder Janine Allis and activewear entrepreneur Lorna Jane Clarkson as advisors. While this format is all about charity, pride is also on the line, with the competitive cast including Michelle Bridges, Anthony Callea, Shaynna Blaze and The Veronicas.

SATURDAY

THE SAVOY WIN, 8pm

Featuring cameos from pottymouthed chef Gordon Ramsay (whose production company made this fly-on-the-wall doco), and Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, The Savoy is a mildly entertaining diversion into the lives of the rich (or those who enjoy spending a fortune on hotel accommodation in London). Now that a deadly pandemic has put a pin in most of the world’s luxury overseas holiday plans, this series has a slightly sad, almost outdated, sheen to it. Nonetheless, there is humour to be found. Tonight, it’s Valentine’s Day and the staff are under pressure to cope with the bookings, while florists prepare $36,000 worth of

Over six seasons, comedian, writer and painter Anh Do has interviewed and eﬀortlessly painted a portrait for a who’s who of Australian celebrity and talent. From TV stars, to politicians, sports people, musicians, actors and fellow comedians, Do has been spoilt for choice. Interestingly, tonight’s guest may be a name many have never heard of but it will be one they remember after hearing his compelling story. Tonight, Chinese-Australian ballet dancer Li Cunxin sits down for an expansive chat about his extraordinary life. Better known as “Mao’s Last Dancer”, Cunxin overcame severe poverty in communist China to become a star on the world ballet stage. Anh Do hosts Anh’s Brush With Fame.

Noosa residents may soon get a phone call inviting them to be part of Council’s biennial Community Satisfaction survey. The survey, conducted by independent company Market Facts, randomly selects about 400 residents to provide their views on council’s performance and services. Mayor Clare Stewart said the results are important in guiding council’s decision-making. “This feedback helps us better understand the community’s needs as we look to continuously improve our services and facilities,” she said. The phone survey continues until May 24. This year, residents also have the option of completing an online version of the survey on council’s website. “We really want to hear from as many people as possible and having it available online is a real bonus,” Cr Stewart said. The survey asks about the satisfaction with and the importance of 41 specific Council services and facilities. In the 2019 survey, three-quarters of residents surveyed rated Council’s overall performance as good or very good. The council services with the highest ratings were - Libraries (84.9%), Waste management (81.5%), and Customer Service (81%). Areas with the lowest ratings - although overall satisfaction ratings were still very high - included Parking Facilities (59.6%), Economic Development (66.6%) and Traffic Management (68%). “All participants remain anonymous and can answer questions however they wish, so the outcome is a really useful tool in gauging our performance,” Cr Stewart said. To complete the online version of the satisfaction survey, visit noosa.qld.gov. au before May 24.

Thursday’s Show antics By Rose Astley There was certainly no shortage of entertainment at the Gympie Show on Thursday, the first of three exciting, action packed days. The action kicked bright and early at 7.30am with Show Jumping, followed by miniature ponies, prime cattle judging, dairy cow judging, working dogs, pig races and so much more throughout the day. The evening entertainment was brought to us by Air Time FMX, Horseman Guy McLean, Junior Six Bar and of course, a stunning display of fireworks. There were hundreds of excited show-goers through the gates, even before the fog had lifted bright and early in the morning. The sun was shining and the community was smiling as we welcomed back our beloved regional Show.

Show jumpers strutted their stuff in the main arena.

On The Soapbox Pbca Spokesman Dr Brian Hoepper

Peregian’s climate change Noosa Council has challenged the shire’s citizens to ‘step up, reimagine and create a new, cleaner and safer Noosa’. The Peregian Beach Community Association (PBCA) has responded with enthusiasm. In its submission to Councils’ Draft Climate Change Plan, PBCA is advocating some climate change solutions that go well beyond ‘business as usual’. Here are several ... ‘Crocodiles’ and traffic jams Every school day, so many young students are ‘dropped off’ and ‘picked up’ by family cars at schools across the shire. The daily traffic jams are costly in environmental, social and financial ways. PBCA is encouraging Noosa Council to check out successful ‘crocodile’ projects in Britain. Known also as ‘walking buses’, these are supervised groups of students who walk to school along a set route, with students ‘joining the crocodile’ along the way. Parents and students register for a crocodile pick-up through a special phone app. The environmental, financial and fitness benefits are obvious. Some schools in Noosa Shire seem particularly ripe for a ‘crocodile’ project. Micro-factories and landfill In remote Cootamundra (NSW), there’s been a ground-breaking response to climate change.

Peregian Beach In an ingenious ‘micro-factory’, landfill rubbish is transformed into building materials, household products and an energy source. PBCA is encouraging Noosa Council to explore

this possible answer to Noosa’s landfill problem - a major source of harmful emissions. A Noosa micro-factory could be set up for well under a million dollars. Boldly, PBCA is even

suggesting it could be partly ‘crowd-funded’ by keen Noosa citizens. Food for thought Climate change is deeply connected to the ways we eat and drink. We can ask probing questions about the ‘food miles’ that products travel to us; the energy used in processing, chilling and storing foods; the health risks of some common ingredients; whether packaging can be recycled or composted. We can also think about how far and how often we travel to buy food. PBCA recommends that Council implement a vibrant public education strategy to encourage people of all ages to take a thoughtful, ecological approach to their everyday purchasing, consuming and disposal of foodstuffs. By choosing thoughtfully, Noosa citizens can help create sustainable, prosperous and healthy communities. ‘Micro-factories, ‘crocodiles’ and ‘food for thought’ are only three of the highlights of PBCA’s submission to Noosa Council. PBCA is also offering imaginative ideas about urban planning, energy, house design and public transport - all key aspects of the complex challenge of climate change. You can read the entire submission on PBCA’s website: www. pbcai.org.

Noosa’s green aspirations Aspire Property Management have installed 125 kW of solar across three commercial properties they own in Noosa Junction. Zero Emissions Noosa met with director Dave Langdon to find out more. Dave told us that the buildings are home to Aspire and eleven other tenants. He says Aspire was created to not only manage their own property portfolio, but also other properties in the same way that they expect as owners. The solar installations are 55kW at 24 Lanyana Way, 35kW at 10 Sunshine Beach Road and another 35kW just connected down the road at number 32. Each site has embedded networks which means Aspire is the provider of power to the 12 tenants at a low 15 cents per kWh. Dave says: “I like the idea of being self-sufficient and creating a differentiation for us as a landlord to our tenants. We’ve got some that are saving $3-4,000 a year, which just seems a ridiculous opportunity. I still reckon we’re making 12-13%. “And we’re carbon neutral. There’s ebbs and flows, but on an annual basis, the 125kW is effectively supplying the three buildings. We’re roughly producing what everyone’s using. All three sites export during the day and whatever we export is more than what we use at night.” Dave also says by the end of next year he thinks every site will have batteries. “It’s really to do with continuity of use because the batteries will shape out the fluctuations in energy generated and used.” He also sees a future where much of the electricity for the Junction can be generated locally. “We’ve got big roof spaces with Coles and IGA - enough roof space to run the area, because most of the Junction is day use. As an investment company we’ll definitely have every property running off its own grid. It’s just a no brainer. Why wouldn’t you do it, you’d be crazy not to.” CATCHING THE SUNSHINE - POSTCODE 4567 Noosa Heads and the beach suburbs of Sunshine, Sunrise and Castaways Beach make up postcode 4567, and is the feature in Zero 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 21 May, 2021

Aspire’s Dave Langdon. Emission Noosa’s tracking of how different postcode localities are moving towards the goal of zero community emissions for Noosa by 2026. Local resident and ZEN Board Member Geoff Acton says: “Although the postcode has lower uptake of solar than other areas, it’s really pleasing to see that the amount of solar has increased by almost 70% over the last 2 years, and it’s great to see growing installations in the commercial and tourism sectors.” Postcode 4567 is home to just over 20% of people in the Noosa Council area, with total solar installed at 10.2 MW - more than 35,000 panels. Almost one in three residential dwellings have solar, and almost a quarter of businesses have made the solar investment. Only about 8% of potential roof space is being used, so there’s plenty of space for more solar.

Aspire from the street. Noosa Councillor Amelia Lorentson also lives in the postcode area and says: “My husband is the commercial manager of Page Furnishers at Pomona that houses 850 solar panels. The benefits of solar do not need to be sold to us! We are currently investigating installing solar panels for home.” The solar on roofs and other renewable generation saves about 18,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, but clean electricity at 20% is lower compared to other areas. Details can be found at zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au/4567 Next time we’ll look at postcode 4568 which takes in Federal, Pinbarren and Pomona.

Llew breaks down budget While there are many big numbers in the 202122 Budget for big spending programs designed to achieve big outcomes, the test will be is what difference is made on the ground. These are the thoughts of Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien, as he breaks down what the budget means for Wide Bay. “The headline funding announcements sound impressive, but they must make a practical difference to achieve their stated outcomes,” Mr O’Brien said. “I welcome the $17.7 billion record commitment for aged care, which includes an extra 80,000 new home care packages, but this funding boost must address the serious pressures the aged care sector faces. “Funding for mental health and suicide prevention is also increased in the Budget with $2.3 billion to improve outcomes and access to services, and this must also mean that local services like headspace receive the funding they need to meet local demand.” Around 49,100 taxpayers in Wide Bay will benefit from tax relief of up to $2,745 this year, from the extension of the low and middle income tax offset to 2021-22 and the decision to bring forward Stage 2 of the Government’s tax relief plan. “This means more money for local households to assist with the cost of living, and it will also help generate economic activity to create jobs,” Mr O’Brien said. “We’re also making childcare more affordable by increasing the child care subsidy for families with more than one child aged five and under, which will benefit around 250,000 families nationally by an average of $2,200 each year.” The Morrison Government is doubling its commitment to the JobTrainer Fund to support a further 163,000 new training places to upskill job seekers and meet skills shortages. The Budget also funds more than 170,000 new apprenticeships and traineeships and 5,000 higher education short courses. “An extended and expanded JobTrainer Fund will upskill job seekers and young people, which has supported 1,490 apprentices in Wide Bay. These new measures will lead to more opportunities for apprentices and trainees with expanded wage subsidies,” Mr O’Brien said.

“The Morrison Government is continuing tax incentives that will help around 19,500 businesses in Wide Bay to write off the full value of any eligible asset they purchase. This will help them to purchase new equipment, increasing their productivity and encouraging business owners to hire staff and expand production. “Around 6,500 businesses in Wide Bay will be able to use the extended loss carry back measure to support cash flow and boost confidence.” The Tablelands Road Bridge at Cooran and Wahpunga Lane Bridge at Kin Kin will be completed in 2021-22 with $1,240,949 allocated through the Bridges Renewal Program towards these projects. Noosa Council will receive $1,580,692 the following allocations through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program in the 2020-21 financial year to spend on local priority projects. “Cooroy Badminton Hall receives a final payment of $10,000 out of a total $20,000 Australian Government contribution towards its amenities block upgrade. “The final stage of the Rufous Street Masterplan, the new Peregian Beach Community House, was allocated $1,517,500 out of a total Australian Government $2,550,179 contribution, and I’m pleased to see work is well underway on this fantastic facility for the Noosa community that is due to be finished in November this year.” A $250 million extension of the Building Better Regions Fund will provide councils, community groups, sporting clubs and veterans service organisations in Wide Bay the opportunity to apply for funding for projects that improve local communities. “A further round of the popular Stronger Communities Program will give not for profit and volunteer groups in Wide Bay funding to help them purchase equipment, build new facilities, or renovate existing buildings to create more opportunities for their members and the community.” Mr O’Brien said the real test of the 202122 Budget will be in what impact it has on the ground for local families and businesses, creating jobs and delivering better services. “There’s much to be done, and it’s important that people in Wide Bay benefit from the broader Budget measures,” Mr O’Brien said.

Roads, developments and finance are very important Safety of our residents must always come first, and we’ve called on the State Government to act in response to our Hinterland communities concerns about the number of trucks using the Pomona Kin Kin Road. I have now sent three letters to the Qld Transport Minister Mark Bailey asking for support. Our hinterland residents are increasingly frightened for the safety of their loved ones, especially their children who regularly have to cross roads used by quarry trucks travelling at significant speed. The Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 allows the State to restrict the use of state-controlled roads in order to prevent damage to road transport infrastructure or to ensure the safety of road users. This piece of legislation that I highlighted to the Minister allows for the State to restrict the use of state- controlled roads according to vehicle class, time of day and by load weight. Instigating this legislation (which only the Minister can do) will help safeguard against an accident or even worse a fatality and I have written to the Transport Minister and asked him to act immediately for the sake

of our community. As we move towards the coastline, Council planning staff have finalised a number of amendments to Blue Care’s Sunrise Beach aged care home approval. This development was approved by Sunshine Coast Council prior to de-amalgamation and unfortunately the current Council cannot revisit the original approval granted a decade ago. What we have done is implement minor changes late last year which will improve the environmental outcomes and mean that the site will be cleared in stages rather than all at once, ensuring that large parts of the site will remain vegetated for some time to come. The ecological rehabilitation plan also provides for the retention of some of the glossy black food trees on the site. Council has now finalised its draft budget for 2021/22. This draft will go out for community feedback in early June. Council is committed to being open and transparent in developing the budget and this is the next stage in the budget development process. All Councillors

welcomed the initial feedback from residents, and we hope that the community takes advantage of the opportunity to review the draft budget and provide us with further feedback. Speaking of finances, Council has received a sound credit rating following a credit review by the Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC). This recognises Noosa Council’s strong financial management. The QTC said the sound rating with a neutral outlook is underpinned by Noosa’s historical financial performance, relatively low debt levels and strong cash position. The QTC completed the review based on information provided by Council up to February 2021. As we look to infrastructure around the Shire, early works on the first stages of the Tewantin Bypass are underway. The final design for the new roundabout at the Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road intersection has progressed. The design work completed so far has identified the alignment of the new intersection which means vegetation clearing and relocation of energy and water infrastructure

can now start. Of course, we are offsetting that vegetation clearing with extra tree planting to compensate. This project is one of the most significant infrastructure projects for our community and it is terrific to see that works have finally started. Lastly, as you many of you may be aware, Council’s long-serving CEO Brett de Chastel has announced that he will retire early next year. Mr de Chastel helped steer the organisation through de-amalgamation, his guidance and leadership proving invaluable and I would personally like to thank him for the continued advice and support he has provided us as Councillors since the election last year. Announcing his intention to transition to retirement early gives the Council ample time to find a replacement and ensure there is a smooth handover to the new CEO. Council will enlist an independent recruitment expert to start the search nationally as soon as possible. As we head towards the end of another month, it is all systems go here at Council and until next month, stay safe, Clare. Friday, 21 May, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 37

Doggie disappointment As I do every year, I attended the Dog Surfing event on Main Beach last weekend. This iconic event always draws a crowd, and locals look forward to the one day of the year that they can take their furry pals onto Main Beach. However, this year dog owners and their pooches were left disappointed as all dogs were banned from the beach except for those competing. Announcements on the PA system and Council officers threatening fines took the shine off an otherwise sparkling day. I see no reason for this restriction, as in previous years dog owners have always done the right thing and ensured their dogs were under control. It seems the fun police are exercising their authority yet again.Sadly the crowd may not be quite as big next year..... Gail Rast, Noosaville

The smarts on marijuana Thank you Alex from Coolum Beach for writing an intelligent letter on marijuana (Marijuana is not a dangerous drug). I couldn’t agree with you more and it’s evident the world is starting to realise the same thing as legalisation is spreading like wildfire. Besides the monetary benefits the marijuana industry is providing to the community for schools, roads, hospitals, etc. is the safety factor. I’d much rather be with a group of people smoking pot than with a bunch of drunks. Stoned people don’t fight or steal cars, and marijuana should have never been in the same category as ICE. It’s time for Australia to wake up and realise there’s nothing dangerous about marijuana and they should stop fearing this plant and should stop arresting people who smoke it. It’s not 1950.

Council woes We have just viewed a copy of Noosa Today, (14/5), given to us by a friend in Noosaville because we no longer receive a delivered copy to our address. Copies made to other locations are exhausted from venues in Tewantin, Noosa and Noosaville long before we reach them after being delivered. They seem to disappear in minutes. The point of writing to you, and what sparked astonishment and outrage from us and several friends, was the glowing article on the current CEO of Noosa Shire Council and his wonderful achievements, because there are a considerable number of residents of the Shire who would take issue to his reported excellence actions on several fronts. When we retired and arrived on the sunshine Coast in 2009 and purchased our home on small acreage in Cooroibah, we found it certainly was the wonderful lifestyle we hoped for and expected, but since 2014 services and standards have deteriorated in the area and moved backwards to the twentieth century, if not the 19th. Some of the problems we now encounter, are not perhaps controlled by the Council, but when it comes to health and safety standards, they certainly do. Firstly, we once enjoyed mobile telephone reception at home and were able to receive and make calls to anywhere in the world, but when the system was so called ’Upgraded’

38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 21 May, 2021

Leanne Airey created a nice memory recently of the morning she was waiting for the sun to rise at Lake Cootharaba and a Kangaroo decided to visit the water’s edge. from 2/3G to 4/5G we immediately lost the ability to receive or to send calls unless we leave home and walk to the middle of McKinnon Drive or drive elsewhere to make or receive a call. Hence, we retained our landline, but no longer receive emergency calls. During last year’s dramas of forest fires, we and several other neighbours, did not know of the fires racing towards us until other nearby residents came beating on our front door to advise us of the approaching situation. We were forced to flee at a time that McKinnon Drive had already been shut by emergencies services both northwards and southwards. However, we managed to get through towards Pomona to reach safety in Noosa. We stayed there with a friend for several days until we were allowed home. In addition to this problem, we are constantly told by all-and-sundry that everyone in the world receives mobile telephone reception and in consequence we have been refused services by a number of organisations and businesses throughout Queensland unless we give such a number. Landline numbers are often not accepted to an extent that a few years ago I was told by one tyre supplier in Noosaville it was mandatory and I could not buy from them even when paying cash. We appreciate Noosa Shire Council is not responsible for the actions of telecommunication services, but they should ensure all residents safety is assured and all facilities are maintained and do not deteriorate or regress. Secondly, and even more importantly, we have had an issue of roaming dogs in our neighbourhood due to some residents not containing their animals on their own property due to lack of fencing. On occasions several dogs have formed in packs and we have had two kangaroos mauled on our property and had to call animal welfare organisations to euthanize them. We have also found the remains of a koala and joey that had been torn to pieces. Our courteous approach to new owners of one large dog was ignored. Complaints were made to Noosa Shire Council in 2018 about this problem because my wife was often rushed at and attacked each time she left our house, strolled in the garden or attempted to walk down our shared driveway to obtain mail or enter our garage. On the first occasion it took several months for Noosa Shire Council to take action.

The same problem arose on 07/09/2020 from another neighbour with two dogs and we advised the Council accordingly, but today it still exists after sending over twenty emails of complaint and over forty photographs, many of which are dated and timed. This situation still exists today after nearly eight months due to the lack of effective action and reticence by the Council. Their handling of the matter has, so far, been insouciant, grossly incompetent and has exacerbated the problem. In consequence of the length of time it has taken and the aggravation caused, we have since received profane abuse and threats of violence from the owner’s grandson who resides there with one offending dog. The Queensland Police Service seem to suggest they cannot do anything for our protection until a physical attack takes place. Due the possible bodily endangerment to my wife, in particular from the larger dog concerned, in addition to the constant fear of walking in our own property, I sent an email to the CEO of Noosa Shire Council suggesting a meeting in order to get the Council to enforce their own dog containment regulations. I received no reply and therefore later delivered a hard copy of the email by hand in letter form. This was also ignored and so were two telephone calls I made to the CEO. I could not get through to him or his secretary and referred back to the same Council employees who had not taken prompt and effective action over a period of four months. The matter is still the same today, which is currently in the hands of the Queensland Ombudsman, but delayed due to the Council giving untrue and false information to the Ombudsman by stating the matter had been resolved and they had not heard from us since January 2021. In fact we had sent seven emails to Noosa Shire Council dated 07/1, 14/01,15/01,18/01,20/01,07/02 and 27/04. Most of our friends live in Noosa Shire and have often tried to encourage us to write to Noosa Today to outline our dilemma in an attempt to resolve the nightmare we endure in living in an area where the Council is lackadaisical or could-not-care-less, without mobile telephone reception and a ’Neighbour from Hell’ whose property is full of junk, rubbish and derelict cars and often referred to by others as a refuse tip or dump.

There is also a large ground-swell of very unhappy residents from around Queensland in relation to the dumping of the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club show that has attracted many people to the Coast and contributed a significant amount of income to the Council, businesses and traders in the area for many years. Perhaps you should talk to Mike Rider, President of the club or some of the founder members and many others who have contributed so much to Noosa. I hope this email proves the fact that there are two sides to a story. Ron Mills, Cooroibah

Wrong direction on STA In regard to short term holiday accommodation I am amazed that in 2021 at a time of COVID and economic calamity Council is playing with such ideas. I have studied abroad in New York and Boston and it is very clear to me that Noosa council are on the wrong path with these proposed local law changes to holiday letting. Noosa Council say that the State govt is not going ahead with these changes however the Mayor is proposing changes on her own. Noosa council also say the Qld Government has other pressing things to deal with however the Mayor is pressing ahead with local law changes... so it is council alone making these changes. Then why? I would like to remind all that 2 years ago when Noosa town planning proposed changes were being viewed in council that I attended the deficit of Qld the most bankrupt state of Aust. was 74 billion dollars. Now it is $110 billion. Noosa is a tourist destination with some locals that reside in the area. On a macro economic front how is Noosa Council or the Qld government going to pay back this debt whilst proposing these financially crippling changes? Less people will come to the region as people get out priced from entering Noosa. Noosa is always considered by my guests as the most expensive restaurants and eatery’s with poor to average quality food.

Narelle Hore has been playing at Noosa Hills Par 3 golf course since 2006. “Under new owners, the course has recently had a renewal and is looking really good so I am always taking photos while playing a game.” These decisions by council will make less people visit as travelling to Noosa and the proposed laws you are providing will stifle business as new costs will be once again be passed on to the tourists. Locals don’t spend in Noosa, tourists do! A better way is to get income from these tourists when they are in Noosa. On the macroeconomic front Noosa Council and the Qld government and will end up going cap in hand to China for aid which is what the state government and the council are setting Qld up for. Then they will build infrastructure and you will NEVER be able to repay the debts or get them out. All because a few neighbours complain about noise you want to close down or propose local law changes to stifle the local economy. In the Southern Hemisphere other countries like Vanuatu, Fiji, Africa, went to get aid from China and cannot pay the off the.debt. China now controls these regions. Now it is New Guinea that is seeking Chinese aid. Let’s just allow tourists here without these proposed laws that will hinder tourism in Noosa. We need more money coming into the region. The only difference is for Home hosts is that instead of having friends staying in your house as guests we are receiving income. This income helps us maintain our high maintenance homes due to the weather in the Sunshine Coast. We have had drought, floods, fires and now Covid. This is not the time to rock the boat on new proposed law changes for holiday letting. Re Code of Conduct: Car parking may be an issue an issue with either long term or short term tenants as well as owners bring their water sports. Noise is acceptable from long term tenants or owners however not from short term tenants.

I am the first to control and ban rowdy behaviour or wild parties however when this occurs and hosts that continue to profit from this must be dealt with. There may be an occasional slip up with a dishonest where a holiday tenant has a party however this must be monitored and sorted leaving “home hosted holiday letting” alone. A security company at best may be all we need to arrive at noise complaints. This proposed local law changes at a time when the world is under threat now is the wrong decision.

Bravo Alex from Coolum Marijuana - God’s gift to alleviate suffering and enliven spirits on Planet Earth is of course not dangerous!It is however a danger to the economic hegemony. For at least a century prohibition laws against this medicinal and cosmic substance, have been rooted in racism and essential to maintaining the oppressive discourse of power. Fancy a substance of nature, the work of God, being demonised by Christian groups(the right wing ones)! The fault of the substance being, that it had the unwelcome effect(to the powers that be) of giving vast and staggering insight into the disgusting and exploitative nature of many institutions that govern our life. Now that money can be made from it those powers have jumped on board. But only the

places that have full legalization are getting the total story. Its the same as growing herbs for your health or fruit trees for nutrition. As with all things moderation is the key. You know like moderating consumer capitalism before it completely destroys every living thing on Earth. Dylan White Doonan

Outside of the plan It would seem that it does not matter to Council if there are 4, 78 or 39000 letters of protest when the biosphere or community is impacted by development. The Cartwright Extension to Carramar Nursing Home was completely redesigned for financial reasons. The building now towers some 10 metres over a 1.8 metre dividing fence in a residential area. It is, by the Council’s own admission, outside of the Noosa Plan. It looks directly into bedrooms, bathrooms and private outdoor spaces. This was positively enabled by Council who, along with Noosa Care, chose not to notify neighbours as it is zoned Community Services. Both the Council and Care Agencies espouse care for their communities in their Mission Statements and yet ignore those that lie outside of their own interests. Inconsistent decision-making by Council is viewed as arbitrary and the communities served are rendered powerless. All that remains to them is the power of an “X” in a ballot box to vote in inspired and consistent leadership that acts for the community they were elected to serve. H Walsh, Noosa

Refugees left in limbo The Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, representing legal and policy practitioners and academics with

expertise in refugee and migration law, has criticised the Migration Amendment (Clarifying International Obligations for Removal) Bill 2021 for failing to achieve its stated objective. They say the bill lessens the protection due to refugees and others at risk, who will be detained indefinitely without adequate judicial review. This is contrary to international law and departs from the practices of democratic countries, which limit immigration detention by law and allow for the courts to supervise this kind of detention. In short, the bill passed on 13 May with the support of both major parties fails to comply with Australia’s international obligations. Advocates for refugees have expressed their disappointment and despair that Australia has regressed even further in the domain of human rights. In what appears to be a justification for Labor’s decision to side with the Coalition on this Bill, Labor Senator Murray Watt explained in the Senate that the Bill is aimed at a group of 21 individuals who cannot be returned to their country of origin because they have failed the ASIO character test. However human rights lawyers point out that this amounts to a life sentence with no judicial or review rights. Opposing the measure, Greens Senator Nick McKim told the Senate the legislation undermined Australia’s protection obligations to refugees. “This bill will lead to more refugees languishing in immigration detention in Australia,” Mr McKim told the Senate on Thursday. He added that “This legislation will have serious impacts for the visa cancellation process.” This means that although Australia does not have the death penalty, refugees condemned to a life of detention may well wish for it, as reflected by the number of self harm incidents among the asylum seekers who have been detained many long years.

Focus on natural habitats Noosa Hinterland artist Wendy Catlin will be exhibiting a series of works titled Natural Habitats, an Environmental Art Statement at the J in Noosa Junction throughout June and July. The artist treasures the natural environment and was compelled to use her art to make a statement about seven of these delicate habitats which has resulted in this exhibition. Wendy said, “It is my hope that this exhibition gives each visitor a little more insight into the importance of natural habitats on the planet,“ she said. “To stop, recognise and think about the mini habitats you pass each day in your life.

Appreciate and nurture them. “Due to actions by man and by nature many of these habitats are under threat or disappearing along with all the natural life that it supports. Logging, burning of forests, tearing up of mangroves, polluting the ocean, rivers, and air; the warming of the seas is the main cause of the decline. “The paintings and notes beside them are to remind us all how much each system means to us; the vulnerability of each natural habitat (eco-system) that exists around us and the interdependence of each one to the other.“ Work titled Natural Habitats by Noosa Hinterland artist Wendy Catlin.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Indian gem on Hastings Trevor Pepys reviews Kaali Gourmet Indian, Hastings Street Cruel people say Trev has been going to the dogs for years, but last Saturday there was some truth in it. The surfing dogs, that is – the one occasion each year when your urbane resident restaurant reviewer actually rolls up the legs of his trendy bell bottom chinos and wades into Laguna Bay to cheer on those brave little woofers as their cruel masters force them to perch precariously up front while they ride monstrous waves to the beach. To see the terror on their little faces is almost as good as going to the sundown bullfights at Pamplona after a good sangria-fuelled lunch on the square. So, after such a glorious afternoon on the sand, and after scrupulously removing every last grain of the wretched stuff and putting his pointy-toed cowboy boots back on, and after a couple of restorative Japanese lagers at the beach bar, Trev and the missus were far too excited to consider a TV dinner at home, so we wandered down Hastings Street looking for a feed and stumbled, for the first time in a long while, into the Kaali Gourmet Indian. The Bhogale family from Mumbai have been running this hidden gem on the edge of the Woods for more than a dozen years, but a part of their hearts still resides in Mother India, and at a time of crisis like this, it seemed appropriate to show a little support for an Indian family business. Plus, we were as hungry as hell after all that wading and cheering, and the aromas wafting from the kitchen drew us in. A bottle of la Plancheliere Cabernet d’Anjou rose ($42) seemed appropriate while we surveyed the menu. This light and lovely pinky from the Loire is never far from Trev’s fridge, and at $13 at Dan’s why would it be? So the mark-up was a bit steep, but with Hastings Street rents to pay, entirely understandable. We decided to go classic and go straight to the mains while munching through the first of several baskets of papadums ($4). The missus opted for the butter chicken ($26) while Trev chose the beef vindaloo ($27), and a bowl of steamed basmati rice ($3) was more than enough for two. Now you can’t get more classic (and basic) than that. The test, of course, is how well the kitchen delivers it. And on this occasion, as on the times we dined there in Kaali’s early days, the kitchen passed the test with flying colours. Mild butter chicken is not really a Trev thing – he likes to feel the fire in his belly – but we shared a little and the chicken was full-flavoured and succulent. The beef vindaloo was heaven on a stick – succulent beef in a full-flavoured sauce that took Trev on a spicy little trip down memory lane from Malacca to Varanasi, and street food markets in between. Places both humble and

Ed Kuepper will take to the stage at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi with Jim White.

Ed Kuepper in Eumundi Jump quickly to secure your tickets for what will be a sensation night in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi when Ed Kuepper takes to the stage with Jim White. Ed Kuepper is the co-founder of ’70’s protopunks The Saints, chief architect of the uncompromising Laughing Clowns and The Aints and master songsmith over some 15 solo albums. Jim White is the brilliant drummer of renowned instrumentalists Dirty Three, partner in the genre-defying Xylouris White and disciple of all things Ed. Together, on Saturday 5 June, they will tackle 45 years worth of Kuepper catalogue with a twist that only these two game-changers could apply. Ed said, “Jim is one of the finest drummers I’ve seen and heard anywhere, totally gets inside of whatever he’s playing in an unpredictable and exciting way, been wanting to work with him for a long while.“ Jim said he learnt drums playing with Aretha Franklin and the Saints on his childhood home’s furniture.

“The Saints’ first three record, Laughing Clowns and Ed Kuepper’s solo work have been a huge inspiration for me in my drumming life and beyond, a well of inspiration I carry with me and can dip into at will.” The show will coincide with a trio of retrospective releases from Kuepper covering his solo years, Laughing Clowns and The Aints. All titles will be released in limited amounts, on coloured vinyl and with select CD issues also. It’s the first is a series of reissued releases from Kuepper as he takes charge of his own legacy whilst continuing to move forward. “I like how Ed Kuepper - like Lou Reed or Bob Dylan - doesn’t want to replay the hits as was and at the same time doesn’t pretend to not have a past nor a future,“ Jim said. “In working with the musicians they play with, they revisit their material in new and old ways as well as creating new material and it’s not a binary problem, an ethic that seems relevant to all things to me.” It will be Kuepper, Jim, but not as you know

it ... “Ed Kuepper wrote suggesting we play and that’s why I’m writing this... I said yes and we will see what happens, so see you there,” Jim said.

New exhibition observes Cooroy’s wood-fired practice Noosa Regional Gallery’s latest exhibition Flame Path showcases an array of national and international ceramic artists. The artists featured all share significant engagement with the Sunshine Coast wood firing community. Co-curated by Gallery Director Michael Brennan and Ambassador for Australian wood-fired ceramics, Rowley Drysdale, Flame Path highlights the significant impact the Cooroy Region has had on the growing community of wood firers in Australia and overseas. “The Sunshine Coast, in particular Cooroy, has always been a ceramics producing area,” said Drysdale - an artist local to the Sunshine Coast. “Known for brickworks, and even earlier in the Pomona area for producing fittings for Queensland Railway, there’s always been a historical connection to clay in this region.” Drysdale has forged significant relationships with many renowned international potters, including Japanese, and in particular South Korean, potters. He’s worked closely throughout his career with many of the selected artists both as a teacher and artistic contemporary. 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 21 May, 2021

While some historically travelled to Cooroy to take part in wood firing workshops and conventions at the previous anagama kiln site (now the Cooroy Library) and also at the now closed Tewantin TAFE, others have and continue to travel specifically to join

communal wood firing sessions at Quixotica Art Space. Established in 2000 after the Cooroy anagama kiln - built in 1997 by master Japanese potter Ichino San - was destined to be demolished, Quixotica exists for the prosper-

ity of this ancient art technique, said Drysdale. Gallery Director, Michael Brennan, said Drysdale has been “an important contributor to elevating the status and visibility of wood fired ceramics practices”. “A process which itself is literally a ‘slow burn’, this exhibition provides both the time and space for the subtleties and nuances of this way of working to reveal themselves gradually. It’s an exhibition that definitely rewards slow and attentive time spent with the works.” Artists include Alix Brodeur, Angus McDiarmid, Barry Tate, Gyan Wall, Heidi Kreitchet, Isaac Patmore, Jackie Gasson, Jennifer Halli, Merrie Tomkins, Moraig McKenna, Neil Hoffmann, Owen Rye, Rowley Drysdale, Sandy Lockwood, Shirobey Kobayashi, Stephen Roberts and Wesley Denic, Kim Jung Pil and Kim Se Wan. Flame Path opens at Noosa Regional Gallery on May 21, 2021 and will run until July 11, 2021.

NEWS

Our unknown achievers By Ron Lane Recently, it was on again, the Annual Shotokan Karate Tournament hosted by the Sunshine Coast Martial Arts, Shotokan Karate and Fitness Institute of Noosaville. Now in its fifth year, and despite Covid-19, it was again a success. Under the supervision of Bryan Dukas 6th Dan and Chief instructor of the Noosaville club, the tournament attracted clubs from Brisbane Gympie Noosa and other Sunshine Coast regions. “Naturally our numbers were slightly down on other years,” said Sensi (teacher) Bryan Dukas, “but considering everything we are very pleased, with some 80 competitors entered. On previous years, our tournament had been held at the Good Shepard Lutheran College, but because of ongoing renovations the Tewantin State School offered their help. For this we are grateful and extend our sincere thanks.” It was good to see that amongst the competitors, whose ages varied from 5-45, were two young men from Pakistan and a family of two young girls accompanied by their parents: a family that had migrated from Vietnam. This was very gratifying as it shows the high regard in which our local tournament, is held within the region. For Bryan, born in Vanderbjil Park South Africa in 1978, his involvement with the Noosaville club started in July 2015.During his years in South Africa, Bryan had met a lady, a fellow karate student named Tammy Kelly and when Tammy migrated to Australia and settled in Noosa, they kept in touch : and then in 2015, Bryan received word from Tammy informing him of a dojo in Noosa. As a result of this, in October, he arrived for a holiday and a “bit of a look at this Noosa dojo.” Bryan liked what he saw and decided Noosa was the place to settle. “I returned to South Africa, resigned in December from my place of work and was back in Noosa by January 2016. After spending time teaching at the dojo with Tammy Kelly, I returned home in April, settled all our family affairs, and with my wife Anita and two sons, Brandon and Mikayla in tow, settled in Noosa by August 2016.Liveing in Noosa was different: however, a few things were similar and this tended to make settling in easy. There was a great community within the dojo, people were helpful and we received plenty of guidance. Over all we would have to say that the hospitality of the Aussies was A1.” It was at the inquisitive age of five years, that his father Mike took him and introduced him into the world of Shotokan Karate. “I was trained under the Japanese syllabus,” he adds with a smile, “you could say I grew up in a dojo: I lived worked and trained there. My father, who has made Karate his life, now has achieved the very high rank of 9th Dan, Japanese graded. As a result of his lifetime of teaching and dedication, he is respected worldwide, and now because of his attitude, as well as his dedication, many Japanese refer to him as the Western Samurai: I guess you could say, that coming from the Japanese, it is indeed a high mark of respect. He is now also the Vice President of the World Shotokan Karate Federation. It has been not only his teaching, but also his attitude to my learning the importance of the protocols of karate, that have enabled me to achieve my goals. I have two brothers, Warren and Dylan and Warren, now aged 41, also became dedicated to Karate, obtained his black belt and went on to represent South Africa in international competition. Our mother Marion, like a lot of mothers while not involved physically, became our back bone and kept everything in line; you could say it was a family affair.” It was in 1993, that travelling to Japan with his father, he underwent two weeks of intensive training, at the end of which he was graded Black Belt. On returning home at 16 years of age, he started teaching as well as competing for South Africa. At the age of 18 he was awarded the trophy as the Best Junior Competitor in South Africa by the National Karate Body. Following this in 2003 he opened his own dojo. Regard his very first visit to Japan and his introduction to the what lay ahead, came as something of a shock. “My first impression left me in awe: the intensity,disiplin and the protocol, plus the Japanese attitude to training, which was extremely strict, was to say the least, very educational. We stayed in a youth hostel, rose at 6am, exercised, performed our allocated duties, had breakfast then com-

Bryan at the World Championships in Japan.

The Dukas family

The Dukas family menced training .This consisted of 3, 2 hr sessions each day. This experience which was to result in his acceptance and belief in the Japanese syllabus, has no doubt been, along with the guidance and teachings of his father, the major factors in his chosen way of life. While living in South Africa, Bryans National Karate competition in the Kata ( detailed patterns of movements practised either solo or in pairs) and Kumite (sparring)from 19862008, saw him winning countless medals (Gold Silver and Bronze) in both individual and team categories : the highlight being in 1996 when he was awarded the Best Competitor in South Africa by the South Africa Karate Federation. His International achievements, in various countries throughout the world, has also been outstanding in both categories; including various World Championships. The year 2000 in Wales, at the Japan Karate Association World Championships, was a big one for South Africa; for in this year, they caused a major upset when, for the first time ever the Japanese were beaten for the Gold Medal. “Something which for us seemed unbelievable,” said Bryan. Perhaps the most personal and proud achievement for Bryan, occurred in 2008, when competing as the South African National Team Captain, in the World Karate Federation World Championships, he contested the Individual Kata in the very same event and hall as his famous father had done in1983. ‘’It gave me such a buzz, and feeling of pride,” said Bryan. The year 2011, saw Bryan receive the Best Competitor Award at the WSKF World Championships and International Training Seminar in Japan: then in 2013 in Japan awarded his International Instructor, Judge and Examiner

Licence. Amongst his major coaching qualifications (which again are many) is his World Karate Federation Bronze Certified Coach, Australia. When taking over the Noosaville club as head Sensei, Bryan slowly but surely introduced the syllabus which for his father and himself, has been one of continued success: in this he has been ably supported by Rick Hislop 5th Dan Japanese graded, plus subs .On entering the dojo there is good environment: shoes are removed, the training mats spotless and everything has its place: and noise is kept to the minimum. Classes for the 120 club members, are conducted six days a week with am and pm time slots; with all sessions being properly supervised. Since his involvement, the club has achieved much in the competition arena with members winning medals at all levels, including state and national. Such has been the standard of coaching, that for four consecutive years 2016-2019, our Noosa club was named Queensland Club of the Year. Also, during this time, a young lady, Danika Starkey junior Black Belt, has achieved results that can only be described as outstanding; winning 5 consecutive Queensland titles and four consecutive Australian titles in Kumite (sparring). Then in 2018 she was named in the Australian team: winning a bronze medal in the Oceanic Cup (kumite)and a silver in the Pacific Cup (kata). These results were good but the year 2019 would be a year to remember, winning two gold: the first being at the Australian titles, but the best of all, was winning the second at the World (kumite)Championships in Japan. “Her attitude and approach to karate is very determined and positive: she will never

Bryan and Rick with juniors after grading. give up …simply thrives on hard training,” said sensi Bryan. “However, it is the overall high standard of the coaching panel that is to be acknowledged,” said Bryan. This was achieved in December 2018, when it was announced that the club had then been accepted, as a club member of the World Karate Federation of Japan: and the official badge was then received by the club. It is a big well done to all involved: in particular wife Anita and the ladies’ group who do so much behind the scenes. Just prior to this, the leadership and teaching of Bryan Dukas 5th Dan Head Sensi of the club, had been acknowledged during a club visit to Japan: he was elevated to the rank of 6th Dan by the Japanese. They also awarded him his International Referees, Instructors and Examiners Certificates. To maintain his personal high standard of karate, Bryan trains online with sessions organised by World Chief Instructor H Kasuya 9th Dan once a month. “The Covid has restricted our annual visits to Japan, but hopefully we could be travelling there in August 2022.” To dedicate one’s life not only to teaching the art of karate, but also its ethics, self-discipline, respect for elders and a non- violent way of life, is indeed for Bryan Dukas 6th Dan, a quite achiever, a life well spent. For the Dukas family, this week was a big one: they officially received their Australian citizenship papers. Now, proud to say they are definitely- One of Our Families.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Weekends start to fire up This is the time of year that many of us live for as anglers. The heat of the summer has gone and we now have daytime temps in the mid 20’s. Despite the swell on the bar we have had some magic days and mother’s day was one of them. While many anglers were locked down it was a glass out day with many good fish caught. From that day onward the swell faded and we still had some great days into the weekend. Offshore the longtail were active in close around Halls Reef and the bar. They were skittish but if you approached them the right way then 5-8KG fish were taking small lures and stickbaits like the Bassday Bungy cast. Around the corner heading south, Sunshine reef has been fishing very well for all types of angling. With many anglers dropping paternoster rigs the main species were sweetlip and tuskies. Pilchard floaters have been picking up some solid cobia and the occasional Spanish mackerel. Out wider, North Reef is showing signs of a great snapper season ahead. Solid fish around 80cm are starting to show up. These fish will take big soft plastics like the Berkley gulp grub in nuclear chicken colour. You can also try jigging which appeals to a wide range of fish including cobia and jewfish. Pick up a few slow fall jigs and upgrade the stock hooks to a Decoy middle pike to ensure you have the best chance of hooking up on these finer wire hooks. Surf fishing will certainly start to improve with anglers south of Noosa reporting higher numbers of smaller jewfish coming in. These fish are best targeted at night on mullet and even tailor should you catch one. With evening temperatures starting to drop the ocean temps will also start to fall which will see both of these fish turning up in bigger numbers. Come in and check out the range of rods from MJF if you are looking for a locally built traditional surf rod. The Noosa River has been left behind a bit with all the great fishing offshore, but it still remains a great option for those without a boat. Flathead still feature strongly with most anglers returning bigger 60cm plus fish to protect the fishery. You can find them in good numbers around the mouth and going for a walk around the mouth is a great way to explore and fish. Flicking small plastics like the Powerbait minnow into the passing current and working it along the drop offs is a great way to find them. Bait anglers using simple running sinker rigs will also pick them up with small strips of mullet or squid. Try looking around the mouth and the rocks for trevally and bream and maybe even a school sized jewfish on the turn of the tide. Mangrove jacks will start to slow down but are still a viable target. Fresh mullet for bait anglers and live baits work best now they are becoming quieter. Make sure when using live

Lenny Vale caught this thumper coronation trout at the Barwon Banks. It went for a whole pilchard bait. baits they are of legal size and you don’t exceed any bag limits. Freshwater still ticks along with waters starting to clear up following the heavier rains. Many anglers are looking forward to the big schools which will hold in the lower main parts of the main basins. While we wait for this the warmer weedy edges are where you will find bigger bass.

The annual Noosa Classic returns.

A Noosa Classic Bicycling Australia, Australasia’s leading cycling media brand, is excited to return to the Sunshine Coast with the annual Noosa Classic, after being cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Noosa Classic will be a thrilling festival of cycling to be held over the weekend of 14 to 15 August. The Gran Fondo event will return bigger and better, with the addition of the Gyndier Drive Hill Climb, a fast-paced challenge to be held on Saturday 14 August. The Gran Fondo event on Sunday 15 August has also seen a refresh, with the introduction of the exciting new 65km Rouleurs course. Participants can also choose from the 120km Challenge Classic and 160km Maxi Classic routes. Participants will ride through the beautiful Noosa hinterland and surrounding areas such as Tewantin, Imbil, Kandanga, Cooran, Kin Kin and more. A major coup for the greater Noosa region, a third of riders travelled from interstate for the 2019 Noosa Classic with many international participants along with numerous cycling groups making a multi-day to weeklong holiday of it. The Noosa Classic is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland and features on the It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar. Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the Noosa Classic was a highlight on the local events calendar.

“Noosa is the perfect location for the Classic,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “The Palaszczuk Government is enthusiastic about investing in events like the Noosa Classic because we know they encourage tourism, support local jobs and our economic recovery plan. “In 2019, the Noosa Classic brought more than 1,280 visitors to Noosa, contributing more than $509,000 to the local economy and welcome media publicity for the region.” The 2019 event achieved; $1.4 million added to the local economy over the event weekend, $500 on average was spent by one Noosa Classic rider each day of their stay, and $1.5 million was total achieved media value. Tourism Noosa has also returned as a Major Partner. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said

the organisation has been a proud partner of the Noosa Classic since the debut event in 2018. “It is encouraging to see the event evolve and the addition of the new Rouleurs course will see more riders getting out and about discovering the best of our beautiful Noosa hinterland,” she said. In addition to the government partnerships, event organisers are thrilled to have international brands such as Volvo, BMC, MET, Fizik, Deloitte, GU Energy, Schwalbe, Orbea on board. Local partners including R&W Noosa Holidays and Cancer Council Queensland are also supporting the event.

Gymnasts courage leads to great results The Cooroy Gymnastics Club WAG squad teams competed this weekend at the AGDA Invitational at Deception Bay. Cooroy sent a team of 9 gymnasts from level three to six with great results in all levels. It was the first individual competition for the girls since 2019 so there were nerves, but they were brave putting in some great performances. The team have all been working hard to improve over the four apparatus. There were some new skills competed for the first time and many hours spent to improve their performances with three girls qualifying already for State Championships in September. Level 3 results: Anna Petrides: 6th Floor Helena Risson: 1st Vault, 1st Uneven bars, 2nd All around Jamie Lee Broad: 5th Vault Polly Boyd: 3rd Vault, 5th Uneven bars, 4th All around Level 4 results: Georgia McVey: 4th Floor, 5th Vault Neve Bayldon: 4th Floor 6th Beam Level 5 results:

The second leg of the Pennant and Plate croquet competitions were held on Monday 10 May. These resulted in two wins for Noosa in both grades, but only just. Both teams were level on games and won on hoops. The Pennant team was level on games with Bribie at Bribie Island, but won on a countback by five hoops. John Dark was the standout here, winning both his singles games and also sharing a doubles win. The Plate team playing at home at Noosa was two games down after the singles, but fought back to win both doubles and again get away with a four hoop advantage. The Plate doubles team of Bob Eames and Sally Walker had a very tense finish to win by one hoop and clinch the overall win. However, bragging rights go to the Pennant team in this situation by winning by one more hoop. The Shield team, for players with a medium handicap, also continues and the Noosa team travelled to Bribie Island on Monday 17 May. On Sunday 4 May John Dark and Sheridan Stopps played in the Headland Cup - a Handicap doubles event and won. They stopped the competition midafternoon due to the weather and averaged the wins. Well done John and Sheridan. John also performed well at a Bribie Island mid-handicap competition on Saturday 15 May - he is a busy player, 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.

Thinking gets in the way Carol Moloney’s tip to play better golf is to simply think less about the game. “I try to take my mind off golf when I play – be a bit more intuitive,” she said. “My coach Peter Heiniger tells me golf is really a simple game – it’s just we golfers that make it difficult.” It may sound a little irregular, but it’s advice that is certainly paying dividends for the Noosa Springs golfer. A fortnight ago Carol won the first round of Noosa Springs’ Ladies Series with 38 points, and last week took the monthly Seniors Medal with an excellent nett 68. “Let’s hope the run keeps up,” she said. Explaining her theory about keeping the game simple, Carol says the only things that occupy her mind as she makes a swing are her stance, keeping her head still and maintaining a good tempo. “I watch a lot of golf on television and I’m convinced that tempo is very important,” she said. Originally from Caboolture, Carol and her husband John moved to Noosa nearly 20 years ago and secured a family membership at Noosa Springs. “I hadn’t played golf before that, but figured it would be such a waste if I didn’t use the family membership,” she said. She took lessons, gradually improved and now finds golf has become a major part of her life. She plays competitions on Mondays and Saturdays, represents Noosa Springs in ladies’ pennants, and looks forward to contesting special events, like Sunday’s Katie Rose Charity Golf Day. Her immediate ambition is to get her handicap down to 18 – where she thinks it should be. Noosa women do us proud at country titles Noosa Springs’ Silvana Phillips shot nineover-par 83 to finish fourth in the Queensland Women’s Country Stroke Championship at Bribie Island last week. Noosa’s Tash Baker was eighth after scoring 85. Initially a 36-hole event, the country championship was reduced to a single round after rain washed out play on Tuesday. Earlier, Tash combined with Jill Marrinan, of Bargara, to shoot 88 for fourth place in the foursomes championship, while Silvana teamed with Chrissy Hordern for eighth place on 91. And to prove she was holding her form, Tash scored 40 points on Saturday to win Noosa’s ladies stableford competition. Cooroy’s Carmel Clarke combined with Nambour’s Maxine Gilbert to win the Division 3 foursomes title. Lionel’s the one still standing Lionel Willett describes himself as the last man standing. Back in 1984 he and a handful of mates started Cooroy’s veterans’ golf club, and it was Lionel who nurtured the club in those early years until its initial membership of six reached the grand total of 50. These days Wednesday’s veterans’ competition is the highlight of the club’s weekly calendar, attracting upwards of 100 players and generating remarkable loyalty and enthusiasm. One of the most popular competitors is Lionel himself – now approaching his 92nd birthday, the last of the founders, but still capable of mixing it with the youngsters. Last week Lionel, playing off a handicap of 30, hit his drives straight, made a few putts and signed for 35 stableford points – not good enough to win, perhaps, but certainly clear evidence that this old marvel is still competitive. He’s touched that his playing partners show him respect and courtesy. “My body’s not what it was,” he says, “and the boys will help me tee my ball and fetch it from the hole on the greens. “I get a lot of help.” Lionel, who lives with his wife Muriel on their North Arm property, plays only on 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 21 May, 2021

Carol Moloney – thinking only gets in the way. Wednesdays, and rarely ventures away from Cooroy. It wasn’t always like that, though. From 1984 Lionel played in 31 successive Queensland Veterans Championships, travelling throughout the state and winning once at Oxley, when he played off a handicap of nine. He’s served in almost every possible capacity at Cooroy Golf Club, and, for years, he and Muriel travelled the country in their caravan, playing golf at whichever course they happened across. He figures that now is a good time to slow down, potter around his property and think about retirement – though he has no plans to give away his Wednesday round with his mates at Cooroy. Still time for Noosa Springs Skins A few spots are still available for Wednesday’s team skins event at Noosa Springs. It’s the second round of this year’s Noosa Springs Skins Series, a fun social event with four bottles of wine to win at each of the 18 holes. The team stableford competition, complete with lunch and post-game nibbles, kicks off at 12 noon and costs $85 per person ($39 for Noosa Springs members).

How to swing better TAKE THE TIP

· ·

By Katelyn Must It’s very easy to want to hit the ball with your dominant hand (right for right hand golfers, left for left handers). Often, though, this will result in a scoop action and the leading edge of the club making contact half way up the ball, running it low along the ground or hitting the ground before the ball and the ball not moving far. When you go to play a pitch shot think of having even pressure through both hands through the whole swing. This will allow you to turn your chest more freely, control the distance the ball flies and, most importantly, make better contact through the ball more often.

Pirates footy action.

A good day for the Pirates Saturday was a big day for Noosa Pirates Rugby League when they played host to home games against Gympie: for Pirates it was a clean sweep, winning all three games. There was a good attendance as this was to be the first time that a new trophy the Noel Haslan Shield, was to be played for: this is to be an annual event between Gympie and the Noosa Pirates A grade teams. The trophy was named in memory of a young man who, over the years had the occasion to play for both clubs. Saturday was to be Pirates day when the A grade ran home winners with the final score of 52-12. However, the score was, in all fairness not a true indicator, as Gympie played above their final score. For Pirates, their backline showed plenty of speed and several raids into Gympie territory caused havoc, when Pirates chose to run the ball out wide. After 11minutes Pirates were in front 16-0: however, Gympie hit back when fullback Tyler Drayton running with the backs found a gap and scored, the kick was converted making it 16-6.Noosa regrouped and again scored out wide but missing with the kick ,led 20 -6. By half time both teams had scored again and going into the break score stood at 26-12, Noosa. In the second half it was all Pirates game: by full time Pirates had scored an additional 26-0 points. During this time, it was obvious that a major factor was the superior speed of the Pirates back line as Gympie lacked the fitness to move up fast and smother the attack. For Pirates their number 9 Hayden Trask had a good game, with his distribution from dummy half being good: with Kurtis Shayler in the centres (three tries) and Alex Copelin full back (four tries) being allowed to run, it was a disaster. For Gympie, Ben Buggy at lock had a good game showing lots of heart and determination with his non- stop defence: as did Ryler Drayton. At the completion of the game members of the Haslan family participated in the presentation to the Pirates. This is a good trophy with a lot of prestige and one worth striving for. In other games Nooses Women defeated Gympie 24-16 and their Reserves were to fit and strong, coming home winners 40-10. We remind our

local supporters of our up and coming, home games and look forward to their full support: taking on board the fact that with a fast backline and good continues feed from the number 9 this team is showing great possibilities for the season ahead. A big thank you from the Pirates to their Major Club Partners: Always Cool Air Conditioning, Tewantin- Noosa RSL and Allroad

Surfaces. Without the sponsorship and loyal support of these and others, the road to success would indeed be difficult. The following dates are for the Noosa fans the most important: the home games. With all being Saturdays, the dates are June12 vs Nambour, June 19 vs Caboolture, June 26 vs Maroochydore and July17 vs Beerwah. The grounds for the finals, which start Saturday

July31, are yet to be announced. For the Noosa Dolphins Rugby their seniors had a bye but the senior women played Nambour and in a one- sided affair won 57-0. Saturday May 22 Dolphins will host a full round of fixtures against Maroochydore with the first game starting at 12.30. A great afternoon of rugby is assured. Friday, 21 May, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 53

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Castaways to the rescue As I write this (Tuesday afternoon) it’s been a patchy start to the 30th Noosa Festival of Surfing, with nothing showing on the points so far. Fortunately, a nice sand bank at Castaways proved to be a good early option, and hopefully the predicted swell increase will swing to the east and allow us a big finish at First Point over this weekend. Castaways can be a fun wave, but it has mixed memories for me, and they came flooding back as I trudged over the sandhill for my heat on Monday. When we rebranded the Noosa longboard event a “festival of surfing” back in 1998, we enjoyed a week of small but fun waves at First Point, and everyone loved the carnival atmosphere on the beach and along Hastings Street’s cafes and bars. It was so popular that Breaka Flavoured Milk, a minor sponsor in ’98, decided to become a major sponsor in ’99, and threw so much money at us that we flew in just about every star and legend in the surfing galaxy. The tents went up at Main Beach, the Breaka executives filled Netanya Noosa’s best rooms and we had a colourful Hawaiian-style opening ceremony. And then the surf went flat. For a week. Not one wave of the contest was ridden at First Point. The sponsors would come down to Sails for breakfast and gaze out at nothing. Meanwhile, our small team was up long before dawn each day, building a site at Castaways, hauling tents and chairs and heavy Eskies over the sand dune at the start of the day and hauling them all back at the end. In this way we conducted the first ever world tandem championships, the Greg Noll Legends Classic and the 1964 World Titles Rematch (won again by Midget Farrelly). A lot of old salts who were present that year still remember it as the best Noosa surf festival ever. I certainly don’t, and nor did the Breaka executives, who took their money away and never brought it back. Speaking of old salts … This stylish old gent, seen here apparently shopping for a new tee shirt on Hastings Street after a surf at Tea Tree, thrashed me (yet again) in a heat this week, so I don’t know why I’m feeding his ego, but in many ways Eric Walker exemplifies all that is good about the Noosa Festival of Surfing. He’s not alone, of course, but as a veteran of 27 of the 30 festivals (and with more Noosa trophies than even Ray Gleave, who you can meet elsewhere this issue) I singled him out for a chat on the microphone when sponsor GemLife brought all the senior competitors together for a drink and a nibble in the beach bar on Monday night. Eric, 70, a former jockey who has lived and surfed in Ballina for many years, is a brilliant competitor and strategist, but in all the years of being beaten by him, I’ve never once felt that he won by anything other than skill. No gamesmanship, no temper tantrums, just smart wave choices and great surfing. On Sunday, when we were all groveling in tiny waves at Noosa West, Eric somehow score a nine, which is a near-perfect score. Then the next day at Castaways, Steve O’Donnell, 71, a surfboard builder from Sydney’s northern beaches and a Noosa veteran who’s clocked up almost as many wins as Eric, scored a high nine, with one judge giving him the perfect score. What’s going on? Are old surfers getting better? Maybe, but judging by my performance at this festival, I’d say it’s selective. But not to worry, Gleavey has taught me the secret of the drop knee, and if I can somehow train my knee to get back up before the wave is over, I might do better next year. Place of Shadows Because you’re such a great bunch of regular Brine readers, I’m giving you all a sneak preview of the cover of my new book, which goes off to the printers in a week or so, and will be launched by Australia’s greatest living playwright, our own David Williamson, with much fanfare at the Harbour Wine Bar at the end of July.

Hot Noosa junior Kaiden Smailes nonchalantly hangs ten at the festival.

Cover art by Tony Edwards. may even recall that it started out in 1991 with our founding team – Matt Rees Jones, Alan Jones, Rick Cooper and myself – cheekily calling it Noosa Tatler, after a rather more famous London magazine. It didn’t take long for the real Tatler to get the lawyers onto us, but we managed to get two issues out before changing the name. The second one featured a sensational Daliesque and futuristic vison of Noosa, in which the art deco buildings of Hastings Street were matched in beauty by the rolling green hills behind the village. It was the work of my friend Tony Edwards, the artist and cartoonist behind Captain Goodvibes and Ralph the Rhino, who was also a very fine painter on the side. I was delighted when Tony agreed to paint our cover in 1991, and I was even more delighted when he agreed to let me use it on the cover of my history of Noosa. I don’t think anyone since Walter Hay imagined that Noosa could ever look quite like this, but somehow it captures the wonderful vision of all those who have fought over many decades to keep Noosa beautiful – people you’ll read about at length in my book. Watch this space in coming weeks for more about the launch in July.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Brave play from our team By Julian Pitts The Roccoco Noosa Tigers were gallant but beaten to the tune of 36 points by a wayward kicking Morningside last Saturday at Weyba road.The terribly undermanned Tigers who boast up to 10 senior players injured were superb in their tackling and pressure endeavours the entire day. They laid tackle after tackle and to be honest didn’t get much reward for effort from the umpires, a bit like the Saints on Friday night against Geelong. However umpiring had nothing to do with the result as the stronger and taller Morningside outfit were just too good doubling the scoring shots of the hosts and only errant kicking keeping the game alive to the end. The Noosa lads were just not as clean with the footy and the skill set shown by the 2020 QAFL premiers was noticeably better. Coach Bovalino saying: “I cannot fault the effort! In fact we tackled our hearts out. We just miss a lot more targets than the opposition and make some really basic skill errors at crucial times. No excuses they were better and their tails up the spine never got any shorter. Hopefully we will get a few quality players back in the next week or two.“ Once again Riley Buntain was superb for the locals taking 13 marks and repelling the panthers all day with poise and skill. His presence on the ground an absolute stand out from the beginning. Gun midfielder Jai Fitzpatrick showed why he is more than up to the standard with some scintillating footy at times to give the opposition constant headaches whilst skipper Aaron Laskey again bored in at the contest and finished with 33 possessions.

Noah Gipters plays in the u16s Boys team. Seb Rogers was terrific with the way in which he presented particularly after quarter time to be one of the Tigers best whilst Mav Pettigrove racked up 27 touches in an impressive display on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Ruckman Riley Richard although soundly beaten in the taps, battled manfully the entire day and a special mention to 16 year old debutant Cooper Airey Bamback whose second half was really impressive. It’s Mt Gravatt in Brisbane this Saturday for the Seniors, Reserves and Colts whilst our Senior women are away to Moorooka after a fantastic victory under lights against Hinterland land in a grand final rematch of 2020. Youngster Hannah McKenzie kicked 4

Seniors in action. goals in a super effort to orchestrate the 6 goal victory with Cassy Young and Maddy Trompf also controlling their positions to be major influences on the game. Great work girls in front of a really healthy home town crowd. A massive thank you to Mark Berretta who entertained guests at our second presidents luncheon of the year and to all those that helped organise the event well done. Saturday week is ladies day which is always a big one so check out the noosa tigers Facebook page and see what’s happening at tigerland. Good luck to all those representing the Noosa tigers this weekend!

NEW CHAPTER FOR LANDMARK PROPERTY PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THE auction spotlight was on almost one hectare of absolute beach frontage on Saturday when Noosa principal Tom Offermann brought 2 David Low Way, Castaways Beach to the market. With the ocean frontage the widest on Noosa’s eastern seaboard - the equivalent to two football field lengths - interest in the property had come from far and wide. The property had links to the development of the land from Sunrise Beach to Peregian Beach, and put simply there is nothing else quite like it along the beachfront. A crowd of about 200 attended the auction that saw Gordon Macdonald calling the bidding. He described it as “a once in a lifetime opportunity.’’ So many of us have driven past the property thousands of times and not been aware of what is here.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 2.88ha at 64 Binalong Rd, Pinbarren, is set for auction on Friday, May 21, at 12pm. 237257 The views from the original house on what is known as Castaways Point stretch from Noosa National Park to Point Cartwright. An opening of $12m saw bidding in three to $16m. After extended consultation with interested parties the auctioneer announced that at that stage it was in the best interests of the sellers to continue to negotiate. A result is expected in the near future, opening up another chapter for this landmark property. ATTRACTING ATTENTION Interest in the three-bedroom, twobathroom house at 22 Callitris Cres, Marcus Beach, has been very wide-ranging leading into the auction on Wednesday, May 26, at 11am. Rob Spencer and Pip Covell of Sunshine Beach Real Estate are taking the property to the market. It is attracting all sorts of interest, Rob said, from investors to live-in to weekenders. And it has been coming from Western Australia, Canberra and Adelaide, as well as the eastern seaboard of Sydney, Melbourne. “There have been large open-home

groups,’’ Rob said. “Brisbane people are looking to buy in advance of retirement. “It’s a lovely home. Relatively new, single level home, smart. “People love several things ... the clever design, that it’s fully insulated, the L shape built around the central courtyard. “It’s a tranquil, private retreat. One street from the beach, it is in a lovely enclave as there is only local traffic.’’ The single-level house is as functional as it is aesthetically stunning with extensive wrap-around decking for alfresco entertaining. There is ducted air-conditioning, high ceilings, an elegant kitchen with highend appliances, gas cooktop and butler’s pantry. CHARACTER AND COMFORT It’s a cracker of a property, right at the base of Mt Pinbarren with gorgeous views. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 2.88ha at 64 Binalong Rd, Pinbarren, is set for auction on Friday, May 21, at 12pm. Kess Prior and Graham Smith of Hinternoosa are marketing the property that has been a holiday home. “Interestingly enough, many are wanting to turn it into a retreat,’’ Kess said. “Inquiry is coming from far and wide. “Pinbarren is really on the map. It’s so

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car beachside house at 22 Callitris Cres, Marcus Beach, will go to auction on Wednesday, May 26, at 11am. 237257 pretty out here. “Rolling green hills ... you could hear a pin drop. “It’s a beautiful house that has been refurbished to high end ... everything is to perfection. “The terracotta tiles are gone and there is timber flooring. The exposed beams have been refurbished ... everything is brighter and lighter.’’ Inquiry is coming from the coastal areas of Noosa, as well as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Central Queensland and the Gold Coast. “It’s the essence of country living,’’ Kess said. “The auction is shaping up to be a good one.’’ A HAPPY SPACE Robyn Reid of Tom Offermann Real Estate had just finished a private inspection of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 3/5 James St, Noosaville, when I spoke to her at the weekend. The property goes to auction at 11am on Saturday, May 29, and it is creating a good deal of interest - with a successful open home and several private inspections. “The open home was busy and people have already expressed interest in bidding,’’ Robyn said.

Three two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car units at 1, 2 & 3/16 Ann St, Noosaville, sold at auction for $1.9m. 237257

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 18 Buchanan Cres, Tewantin, has gone under contract after being listed at $939,000. 237257

“It’s so close to the river and the restaurants. “It is of modern design, single level, and in a group of five, with a townhome at the back. “This one is on first floor. You are a few doors from Gympie Terrace yet private. “It has great energy ... it’s a happy space. You just walk in and you lift. There is an open design, so you pretty much have light on three sides.’’ Interest has been mainly from Brisbane, New Zealand, and locals wanting to live in. SPACIOUS SANCTUARY Sharon McLure of Laguna Real Estate had multiple offers on the first day of marketing the versatile family home at 18 Buchanan Cres, Tewantin. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 746sq m was listed at $939,000. Demand was from both local and interstate, Sharon said. “It was a Sydney buyer who won due to the terms. “Price does not always determine the sale. In a buoyant market the terms are still stronger.’’ The buyers are relocating to live and realised the value of the aspect, the elevation and the privacy. ANN ST UNITS SELL Three two-bedroom, one-bathroom units at 16 Ann St, Noosaville sold at auction last Thursday for $1.9m with Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents. Held in rooms at Noosaville, there were

six registered bidders for the units on 585sq m. The local investor saw the property as great value and a toe-hold in a developing street, Nathan said. Interest was a mix of New South Wales and mostly local bidders, all looking to the future. SPACIOUS LIVING It’s a massive apartment in a complex of 12, just 100m from Noosa River. A big plus is it is close to everything in Noosaville and has two off-street car spaces. Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the three-bedroom, twobathroom apartment 3/10 Robert St to auction on Saturday, May 29, at 10am. “Interest has been consistent and strong,’’ she said. “It would make a great investment/holiday pad. “These are the last of the original owners in the complex from the mid1990s. The apartment has been updated over time.’’ Lauren has seen a good response from locals to live in, or use as an investment. “There are some from interstate … people trying to get into the Noosa market and looking to work through things later. “It is a single-level apartment that takes up the whole top floor.’’ AUCTION ACTION THURSDAY, May 13 Noosaville 1, 2 & 3/16 Ann St: Three two-bedroom,

UNDISPUTEDLY STUPENDOUS JEWEL ADMIRE dramatic hillsides sculpted by nature's best verdant offerings, revel in the sweeping driveway wreathed by topiarised Ficus, be in awe of the centrepiece perched sublimely on an idyllic knoll which steals the limelight of the substantial estate, and sigh. From the residence's forecourt, step into the vast travertine-tiled vestibule, with timber beams and lofty-ceilings. There's a sense of indisputable splendour, fashioned with clever design responses, surrounded by Mt Cooroy, lush rainforests also eagle's eye views over the Coral Sea. This is a private, stunningly majestic oasis that totally connects to the spectacular location. Inside, be instantly besotted. Parquetry flooring flows from the foyer and beyond, to a cathedral-height ceiling above designated formal dining and living with travertine flooring and dual stone fireplace feature wall. The spaces extend in a transparent fashion, out to a casual rock-walled dining terrace, while on the northerly aspect, indoors becomes outdoors with the most dazzling wet-edge pool and plush lawn on two sides, vying for attention. Reminiscent of a museum of modern art and design, is a fine assemblage of chandeliers, lamps, bold lanterns and books, decadent furniture, as well as outstanding artworks and artifacts, many bearing the rich provenance of Africa and Asia. Complementing the clever design and grandeur is the commercial-grade custom kitchen and butler's pantry with leatherhoned black granite bench tops, dark and light oak cabinetry with inlaid mesh, a wealth of absolutely high-end appliances, a cool room, also a wide electric powered picture window, which opens to a servery for the Mediterranean-style terrace with its pizza oven and fire pit. The east wing is all about next level luxe, privacy and breathtaking. Occupied solely by the sumptuous master suite, sliding doors access a walkway, the sitting room spells relaxation, chandeliers 'dress' the bedside tables, ensuite walls and floors are white honed leather marble, and drink in ravishing views from the over-size freestanding oval tub. There's no denying the 70m2 dressing room with tactile surfaces and brown suede robe doors is every fashionista's dream. To one side of the master is a guest suite with marble floors and walls in the Ensuite and floor – to – ceiling built-in black suede-covered robes. Joined by covered walkway to the east of the dressing room is another marble Ensuited bedroom currently configured as a gym. Downstairs in the east wing is a living area with kitchenette, a master-style bedroom with a bath in the ensuite, walk-in

robe, and access to the covered walkway. In the west wing you find a similar stylish bedroom with matching features although with a more studio layout and views to Lake McDonald. The highlight of downstairs, joining the east and west wings, is the state-of-the-art media room with feature screen, reclaimed Russian elm panelled wall and two portholes looking into the pool. In addition, there's a second study and access to the humidity-controlled wine room and cellar with provision for 2,000 bottles. Adding 6-star pizzaz to the understated

glamour of this natural paradise is its helicopter landing pad designed by McDermott Aviation, a 5-person lift, a Tylo steam room, gymnasium and out-buildings which complement the residence and house machinery to uphold the botanical gardens-style landscaping. "The sensitively crafted estate blends perfectly into the natural terrain and has sublime 180-degree views," comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart and principal Tom Offermann. "It's a place in which, somewhere between the sea spray of Noosa Main

Beach 20-minutes away, and the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, it's possible to lose yourself completely.

LUXURY PENTHOUSE ON THE RIVERS EDGE THE owners of the magnificent penthouse have run a successful Real Estate Agency in outer suburbs of Melbourne since 1963 taking the area from an orchard and market gardening area to a successful predominately commercial industrial area. They made their holiday home on Lake Eildon Victoria into their permanent address at the turn of the century. Living at the base of Mt Buller, the Melbourne go-to snow resort with it’s cold snaps, led to the decision some 20 years ago to make Noosa their winter retreat. Noosa reminded them of earlier days of starting business, with plenty of greenery surrounding them, and people constantly sharing a warm welcome and a wave. Noosa has its natural parks to enjoy hiking, water so accessible for sports, golf and bowls, and open spaces. A community that never feels built out because of plentiful trees and shrubs always nearby. Every food critic or dietary requirements can be satisfied with the access to some of the most wonderful restaurants available in walking distance. The owners have always been heavily involved in the community and with many community projects still under way in Victoria, they have made the decision to sell and head back to Victoria to help with these projects. However, the fortunate new owners of this Paul Clout designed penthouse in Noosaville will find themselves so blessed. It offers more than can ever be imagined. ●

HOME FOCUS

BOOST FOR THE PROPERTY MARKET

home buyers to finally become owners. One of the many barriers that buyers face at the moment is the lack of listings

currently available so once again to all the sellers out there, if you are considering listing your property for sale, I wish to reiterate that now is the very best time to achieve a premium price. I have never seen so many purchasers eager to get into the Noosa market who are happy to meet sellers expectations. Just last week we had an entry level property come onto the market, with 17 inspections at the first open house, we were able to present our owner with 3 written offers the next day. The cash unconditional offer at the top end of the spectrum truly delighted our seller. The Laguna Real Estate Team would be delighted to step any ‘would be sellers” through the sales process, simply call one of our sales professionals, or call into one of our 3 Noosa offices for an obligation free appraisal. ●

and fully fenced grassed and manicured gardens finishes this “picture perfect“ private sanctuary. This home will impress upon first inspection! ●
