Queen’s honour for music man By Margaret Maccoll When your day job is something you love to do, being awarded an OAM in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for it is just icing on the cake. “Oh well, wow, thanks,” was Linsey Pollak’s reaction to this week being listed to receive a Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the performing arts and to music. “It’s a great honour. It’s nice to be acknowledged for what one does,” he said. For 50 years the long term Kin Kin resident, who now resides in Maleny, has delighted audiences with his musical instruments made from found objects such as his carrot clarinet or watering can clarinet, his incredible talent and his extensive list of community music projects.

Ferry change up By Abbey Cannan

12497020-DL22-21

Noosa North Shore Ferries are set to trial EFTPOS payment following a petition calling for a change to their policies. Tewantin resident Greta Sluce started the petition in the hope that the ferry managers would accept silver coins or implement card facilities after allegedly being “verbally abused” by a worker for using silver coins. “My husband and I are local Tewantin residents and use the Noosa North Shore ferry ser-

vice one to two times a week to take our dog to the beach,” Greta said on the petition. “On Monday 7 June we were verbally abused by a worker for handing over $1 in silver coins (50c, 2 x 20c, 1x 10c) to help make up the $16 fair it costs to get there and back on the ferry. “This ferry is the gateway to major tourist attractions here in Noosa and sees thousands of visitors to the area yearly to access Teewah and Rainbow Beach, as well as tradies and staff that work on North Shore. “It’s time Noosa council stopped burying

their head in the sand and started acting on the numerous complaints made against Noosa North Shore ferries and their ridiculous ‘cash only’ policy.” On Monday the petition reached 370 signatures out of the goal of 500 people. The operator has a lease with council to operate the North Shore Ferry. Council officers are in regular discussions to ensure all conditions are being adhered to and takes any allegations of poor customer service seriously.

Property Manager Clint Irwin said the current lease permits the ferry service to operate as a “cash only” business. “However we acknowledge that provision of EFTPOS by the ferry service is an expectation of the community and in our discussions, the operator has committed to providing this service initially as a trial with a view to introducing it permanently as soon as possible,” he said. Noosa Today contacted the ferry owners but they chose not to comment.

Last weekend like few before has the diversity of Noosa been more obvious to me. The Noosa Eat and Drink Festival brought to the fore the excellent food producers and chefs in Noosa. It made me appreciate them more when I saw how keen some of the best chefs in the country were to be in Noosa to experience the food. And it made me realise what a great job Tourism Noosa does in putting on a party. That was the type of event you’d expect to find in any capital city around the world, not the country town that is Noosa. From Hastings Street we travelled to the Botanic Gardens at Lake Macdonald for the Festival of Water. Relatively it was a much smaller event but it catered perfectly to its audience. It brought together the region’s environment and wildlife organisations. There was information from regional experts on all aspects of nature from landcare to river health to animal welfare. And the food and entertainment was excellent. The same weekend we visited the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show and while it was held in Nambour Noosa farmers and schools are contributors to it. The show jumping was world class. Living in an urban area it’s a nice change of pace and a real pleasure to get up close to farm animals and learn more about them.

Kabi welcome in Hastings By Phil Jarratt At the end of a week of high tension as Noosa’s politicos tore each other’s heads off, a bridgebuilding exercise on Hastings Street was just what the doctor ordered. As she climbed onto a podium for opening remarks at the Tourism Noosa launch of the Welcome To Kabi Kabi Country audio-visual experience last week, Mayor Clare Stewart joked that Tourism Noosa CEO Mel Anderson had invited her up so she could push her off – a reference to the stoush between council and the tourism industry over the tourism levy. The opening gambit was perfectly timed, allowing the elephant a clear exit from the room, so that we could get on with the celebration of this wonderful collaborative effort between tourism and Noosa’s First Nation. From last Friday, every night at 7pm, a sixminute Welcome To Country virtual experience, beautifully produced by film-maker James Muller, will play on a big screen outside the Tourist Information Centre, with Kabi Kabi dancer and storyteller Lyndon Davis leading the explanation of Kabi Kabi Country and its ancient linkages. As Tourism Noosa’s blurb asserts: “This is an exceptional blend of traditional messaging with contemporary, innovative projection techniques that will provide a unique and moving experience of the Kabi Kabi story.” It really is, and every Noosa resident should see it.

Kabi Kabi spokesperson Brian Warner addresses the launch.

Launch crowd ready for the big screen debut.

An emotional Brian Warner, secretary of the Kabi Kabi People’s Aboriginal Corporation, reminded the gathering of the need for truth telling in every depiction of the Kabi Kabi story.

He said: “Almost every Aboriginal nation has a massacre story to tell, and here we have Lake Weyba, Teewah and Tuchekoi. Did you know that? Through truth telling we need to find

Pictures: SUPPLIED common ground, which is built on friendship and trust. I think that Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa and the Kabi Kabi people are moving forward in that direction.”

We are asserting our independence: Mayor By Alan Lander Mayor Clare Stewart has hit back at former Noosa mayor Noel Playford’s criticism of increased staff numbers in council. As reported in last week’s Noosa Today, Mr Playford said the council’s staff cost was “far higher than at any time in the history of Noosa Council”, and he criticised newer councillors for not staying on top of wage bill management. Mayor Stewart said Mr Playford had done an important job in his time by ensuring fiscal rectitude as the council emerged from de-amalgamation in 2014 to validate its independent stance “and we can be thankful for what he did”. “But we’re seven years past de-amalgamation,” Cr Stewart said. “Now we are asserting our independence, and I think all the projects we [currently] have are really highlighting that.” The mayor said the council was now busier than ever. “We have so many issues on the go. We have short-term accommodation, the CHAT, the Kin Kin Quarry issue, the river which now has a lot of confidence that we can now get right, we’ve got an active business community which is fantastic.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart “So we have so many things we are dealing with other than business-as-usual - and we’re coming out of Covid.” Mayor Stewart said FTE staff numbers in July 2014 were 344.

“In July 2020 we had 375,” she said. ”That’s basically a 10% increase. And if you look at temporary project people, it was 29 in July 2020 then six months later it was 40 - but a third of those were to implement the Tewantin bypass, the new Noosa Plan and capital works [which is] the biggest ever. “A lot of those plans have to be implemented and you need staff to implement them.” Mayor Stewart said staff were working at “capacity”. “I am proud of staff, as are all the councillors. In my 18 months as mayor, I have repeatedly observed personnel going well beyond expectations,” she said. “The rising to the challenge and going ‘above and beyond’ was clearly evident during Schoolies Week when many of our staff were literally working around the clock. The mayor said she found Mr Playford’s suggestion new councillors did not “have a handle” on the details was “regrettable”, and that no figures were being hidden, saying the council website now had more detail for those who chose to look. “We’ve increased transparency and consultation for our budget process - indeed for all our documents through the instigation of ‘Open Council’ on our website and have

increased community engagement through our regular community coffee chats,” she said. “Let me assure Mr Playford we have a handle on things, and we are a council that brings together experience and fresh eyes.” Mayor Stewart said while it was true much of the council workforce did not live in the shire, it had as much to do with housing affordability as anything else. “I am sure many of our staff would prefer to live here if they could but housing affordability for workers is such a big issue for many businesses which operate in our shire, including council. We are not immune to this,” she said. “Fifty per cent of our staff live outside the area, but who can afford to live in Noosa if you haven’t had a house here for 20 to 30 years? “We’re in an affordable housing crisis.” The mayor also said location was not a determinant of someone’s values, in response to Mr Playford’s query on ‘Noosa values’. “I know I consider inclusiveness, honesty, openness, transparency, kindness, hard work, care for the environment, a clean, healthy lifestyle for our families,” she said. “You don’t have to live in a particular postcode to epitomise these values.”

Lamborghini up for grabs A customised Lamborghini coupe seized by police under Queensland’s tough anti-hoon laws will go up for auction next week. After spotting the distinctive purple Lamborghini Huracan travelling at high speeds and then subsequently evading police interception, officers from the Nambour Road Policing Unit seized the luxury sports car under Queensland’s tough anti-hoon legislation. In total, the driver has been linked to 20 traffic offences including evading police and disqualified from driving offences. The driver, a 28-year-old Sunshine Coast man, also appeared in court on a raft of serious charges including dangerous operation of a vehicle, evade police, driving under the influence of drugs, attempting to pervert justice and other traffic offences. He was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment and disqualified from driving on February 19, 2021. Following the seizure of the car under Queensland’s tough anti-hoon laws, inquiries were undertaken into the driver’s actions over several months which led to police obtaining a forfeiture order under the Criminal Proceeds Confiscation Act 2002 for the car with all funds raised from the sale forfeited to the State. Police Minister Mark Ryan congratulated police for their perseverance in investigating hooning activity and, when appropriate, seizing vehicles under Queensland’s tough antihooning legislation. “With the recent amendments to legislation which enable officers to deem the owner of a vehicle responsible for hooning offences, Queensland takes an even tougher stance which means we have the toughest most robust anti-hooning laws in the country,” Minister Ryan said. “This case should send a very strong message to would-be hoons that if you are con-

Police Service’s tough stance on hooning and drivers putting other road users at risk. “Police will not tolerate reckless and dangerous behaviour on our roads which put the lives of all other road users at risk,” he said. “No matter how powerful your vehicle may

be, the law will catch up to you and you will be held accountable for your foolish behaviour. “If you have a need for speed, take your car to a race track - it is as simple as that.” The Lamborghini will be up for online auction from June 17 through Manheim Auctions.

Musical journey leads to OAM honour From page 1 Linsey Pollak is well known across Australia as a musician, instrument maker, composer, musical director and community music facilitator. He has toured his solo shows across Europe, Canada and Asia since 1996. He established The Multicultural Arts Centre of WA and has co-ordinated five Cross-cultural Music Ensembles in three different States. He has performed at most major festivals around Australia and recorded 34 albums (solo and with various groups). He has devised many large festival pieces such as BimBamBoo! (Woodford and Brisbane Festivals), Sound Forest (Qld Music Festival) and The Dream of Zedkat Nabu (APRA Performance of the Year in Qld 2013). Linsey views his life as a series of random opportunities that “grabbed him“ as he stumbled along his journey. “At the time I wasn’t even aware of mak-

ing the choices that have had huge impacts on my path,” he said. “It feels as though I’ve sort of improvised my way through life and in many ways that is how I approach the music that I make.” His musical journey began as a 19-yearold when he took a gap year before beginning a science degree (still deferred) and found a bamboo grove which inspired the creation of his first musical instrument - a bamboo flute. He discovered Macedonian Folk Dance from an album in a friend’s collection that began his love affair with the gaida (Macedonian bagpipe). On a trip to London he came across a band of Macedonian folk musicians missing a gaida player so he filled the spot, before travelling to Macedonia and finding a gaida teacher to hone his skills. His association with Macedonian music led him, back in Australia, to eventually establish The Multicultural Arts Centre of WA. Hi knack for making instruments and his use of technology led him to create travelling

shows and community projects. While living in Kin Kin Linsey started to focus on the use of the percussion instrument, Marimbas in community music workshops. This led on to The Big Marimba, a community music project that involved 400 people making a 320 metre long marimba that stretched across the Brisbane River. The journey continues for Linsey, even during COVID when musicians felt the impact of isolation and the few gigs that were available were online, he saw it as an opportunity to be more creative.Linsey used his time to create 30 tracks and raise money for Oxfam. In a collaboration with singer Lizzie O’Keefe, the performance combines the human voice with the sounds of endangered animals as a way of honouring ecosystems and species, gone and going. He’s played and recorded music with birds in the local rainforest and put more time into making instruments, where it all began.

Trucks on route to Kin Kin Quarry.

Plea to cut quarry traffic By Margaret Maccoll

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton everything in their role to increase safety, it cannot offset the danger of high volumes of trucks,” she said. “Access routes were independently assessed as not capable of dealing with this volume. That Council and State powers cannot reduce these numbers, is the worst case of system failure I have ever seen,” Ms Bolton said. Cr Stewart last month wrote to TMR Minister Mark Bailey to request he exercise his legislative powers under Section 46 of the Transport Infrastructure Act (TIA) to restrict the number of quarry trucks travelling along Pomona-Kin Kin Road. But in reply Mr Bailey said TMR had limited powers under section 46 of the TIA which can only be implemented by the TMR Director-General and had historically been used temporarily in emergency situations, such as flooding or similar events, while infrastructure was assessed for safety and damage and to undertake remedial repairs. “In regard to heavy vehicles on Kin Kin Road, the current safety record and road condition does not provide a strong enough rationale or defence for implementing section 46 of the TIA at this time,“ he said.

“It is important to note that placing temporary restrictions on general access vehicles on Kin Kin Road could also have a negative impact on important community services, local businesses and residents, such as potentially restricting access by refuse trucks, fire trucks and some buses. Restriction could result in an increase in heavy vehicles using the road when loads are separated.“ Mr Bailey placed the onus of responsibility back on Council saying the quarry at Kin Kin was a legally operating business, operating under a local government development approval and TMR had no authority to retrospectively place conditions on an existing approved development application. “The issues around the quarry’s operations, including its suitability for the area, its impacts, the volume of heavy vehicles and haulage routes, are matters for Noosa Shire Council (NSC) and the operators of the quarry,“ he said. Mr Bailey noted that the quarry management plan nominated Kin Kin Road as the primary route for heavy vehicle drivers travelling to and from the quarry and said TMR would support NSC considering amendments to the

Having been knocked back by the Transport and Main Road (TMR) Minister in a request to use legislative means to halt quarry haulage trucks on Pomona-Kin Kin Road Mayor Clare Stewart, joined by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and mother of four Anita Poteri last week sent an impassioned plea to Cordwell Resources. Cr Stewart published an Open Letter to Cordwell Resources last week calling on the company to as a good corporate citizen, to stop trucks during school bus times and to significantly reduce truck movements to a more manageable level. “This would clearly show Cordwell Resources is community-minded and shares our concerns about safety, especially for our local children,“ she said. “Safety continues to be our number one concern. Not only for our residents, but also our local bus drivers and even tourists are becoming increasingly frightened for the safety of their loved ones. “I fear the worst is inevitable unless something is done. “None of us want to see an accident involving a quarry truck and our local school buses.“ Ms Poteri said the rural life of Kin Kin had been shattered by the more than 200 quarry trucks that pass along the main road and school bus route and had impacted the lives of everyone in the hinterland. Kids can no longer ride their bikes to visit friends or ride horses along the road and every school day bus trip was filled with anxiety for parents, the driver and the kids, she said. “There are quarry trucks passing by repeatedly. They don’t slow down. They don’t show any care for the school bus,“ she said. Ms Poteri said some children had refused to continue taking the school bus which had encountered “many incidents“ with quarry trucks along the route. Ms Bolton said the trauma to the community could not be underestimated. “Even though TMR and QPS have done

plan with the quarry operator, in order to share haulage routes across the surrounding local network to reduce the impact on Kin Kin Road. He said TMR was committed to maintaining Kin Kin Road in a safe and serviceable condition for road users. “TMR’s maintenance activity on Kin Kin Road has included pavement repairs, vegetation maintenance to reduce potential roadside hazards, and drainage works to help reduce the risk of future pavement damage. TMR is preparing for a program of road edge strengthening works at priority areas identified along Kin Kin Road. Additionally, the speed limit on several sections of Kin Kin Road has been reduced to slow traffic and improve safety for all road users. I am advised that general access vehicles (including truck and dog trailer combinations used by the quarry) can access all Queensland roads, and that TMR has not approved any vehicles above general access limits for Kin Kin Road,“ he said. “TMR has also started design investigations for road improvements for two priority sections of Kin Kin Road, totalling three kilometres, between the southern foot of the Kin Kin range and Kin Kin township. Any outcome or future works identified through this process will need to compete for funding against other statewide priorities.“ “I understand this is a challenging issue and that Kin Kin Road is an important link for the Noosa Hinterland communities. Heavy vehicle transport is also vital for construction projects and other services at a time when the construction industry and maintaining jobs in communities has never been more critical. Sharing the road with heavy vehicles, especially on narrow sections of road can be intimidating, and extra caution is needed. The Queensland Government encourages all road users to share the road network safely and drive to the conditions for the safety of all road users.“ Mr Bailey said TMR was continuing with investigations and assessments relating to Kin Kin Road, and would update stakeholders with available information.

Kareena on way to Tokyo By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Heads Surf Club is rallying to give Olympic hopeful Kareena Lee a warm send off on Sunday before she makes her way to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to compete in the Women’s 10km Open ocean swim event. A shining light in open water events, Kareena was the first Australian swimmer to qualify for the Olympics in 2019 after she placed 7th in the Women’s 10km event at the 2019 World Championships. Lee made a blistering start to her 2019 season. After claiming silver medals in the Women’s 10km Open events at the past two Australian Open Water Championships, Lee beat her friend and fierce competitor Chelsea Gubecka to take home the top honour in 2019. Carrying the momentum into her next event, the long-distance swimmer won the Midmar Mile - once known as the world’s largest open water event - in South Africa a few weeks later. A silver Pan Pacs medallist, Lee is based in Noosa and trains alongside fellow open water

swimmer Nick Sloman, who narrowly missed qualifying for the Olympics in 2019 but has a second chance at qualification this weekend. Nick is also hoping to make a splash at the Olympics and will be competing in Portugal on Sunday in his bid to qualify for the Mens 10km Open ocean swim event. Surf club president Ross Fisher said one local club member Kareena and perhaps two club members, should Nick qualify, in the Olympics was “a big deal“ and the club was keen to support them. “It’s a big achievement to have a Noosa person to compete in the Olympics,“ Ross said. “We’re having something to raise a few dollars for them to take to the Games.“ The club has organised a fundraiser/ farewell event on Sunday from 2.30pm at the clubhouse. Olympic boxer Benny Pike will MC the event and Olympian Dawn Fraser will be a guest. The community is invited to attend. There will be auctions and raffles.

Noosa is photogenic Noosa has been named in the 10 top most scenic places in Australia by top photographers. International travel site Big 7 Travel released the 2021 list of the ’15 Most Scenic Places in Australia’, as chosen by award-winning Australian travel photographers. For the final results, they put it to their Instagram audience of 404K and their own team of travel experts to vote on the Top 10 ranking. The list includes Australia’s most photogenic places, with Noosa coming in at number eight. Editor of Big 7 Travel said, “Noosa has it all when it comes to scenery: beautiful beaches, lakes, national parks and famous saltwater fairy pools.“ “You can experience uniquely Australian sights such as the Noosa Everglades and spend your evenings snapping photos on a sunset cruise. This chic coastal town ticks all the boxes.’ The top three places on the most scenic list included Uluru, Esperance and Byron Bay.

Games bid closer By Ian Jobling The bid for Brisbane to host the 2032 Olympic Games has cleared the penultimate hurdle: the IOC Executive Board approved Brisbane as host city at its meeting on Thursday 10 June. President Thomas Bach acknowledged there was great support from the public and from all levels of government across the political spectrum, including those in the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. An Olympic infrastructure agency is set to be established for the 2032 Games and will be jointly run by the Queensland and federal gov-

ernments. So, it is certainly time for the people of Noosa to get behind the inaugural Australian Coastal Rowing Championships to be held at Main Beach in August this year. Coastal Rowing is an event within International Rowing and will be introduced at the Youth Olympics in 2026 in Dakar, Senegal. It has been highly recommended as an event at the 1928 Los Angeles Olympics. If included, the potential for the discipline to be included in the subsequent 2032 Olympics would be high. Ian Holzberger, CEO of Rowing Queensland, which with Rowing Australia is hosting the

Australian championships at Noosa for the next three years, is enthusiastic about coastal rowing and the possibility of the discipline being included as a demonstration sport in the Los Angeles Olympics and beyond. Peter Watson, Secretary of the Coastal Rowing and Touring Australia, based in Noosa, said, “Coastal Rowing are developing initiatives in schools to encourage young teenagers to develop an interest in rowing in larger and more stable shells which venture from beaches into the ocean” By the time of the Olympics, young rowers entering the sport now would be at their peak in age and ability.

Noosa was named the eighth most scenic place in Australia by top photographers.

Changing of the guard lifesaver who believes the future viability of the Club is dependent on building a new clubhouse to improve safety, access and visibility for lifesaving operations and generate income which would underpin its long-term financial viability. “I’m most proud of the fact that 100 per cent of our Peregian lifesavers are planning to stay on and patrol with us next season. “Everyone knows how important it is to build our surf club back. We have created a family-focused culture - we’re all friends and we all look out for each other. “There have been obstacles along the way, but we have been highly motivated to succeed in this journey and I’m moving on with the confidence that our Club has the best possible foundation to succeed. Ms McCready is passing on her leadership role to former Coolum SLSC President, John Roderick. “The Peregian Club won’t be successful without our wonderful community’s support,” she said. “We have big dreams and would love Peregian people to join us in making them happen. “I urge people to please join by emailing hello@peregiansurfclub.com.”

Leigh McCready, the woman who has steered the revival of surf lifesaving at Peregian Beach, has decided to step down from her leadership role, as the first new surf club on the Sunshine Coast for 25 years nears the date of its re-establishment. The Peregian Beach SLSC Advisory Board, established by Surf Life Saving Queensland to oversee the governance of the new club, paid tribute to Ms McCready’s service, stating she had done an “outstanding job in getting Peregian Beach surf lifesaving to this point“. “Leigh McCready has led the revival of surf lifesaving at Peregian Beach for the past three plus years, working with the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club,“ the board said. “During this time, the Peregian Nippers program has grown from zero to 160 participants and an additional 30 new volunteer patrolling members have joined Peregian patrols.” Ms McCready said her growing community responsibilities, especially her election in February as Liberal National Party Noosa Branch chair and new role advocating for a Noosa domestic and family violence service made it the right time for the change. “It’s been an incredible journey over the last three and a half years since our vision of having a sustainable surf club at Peregian again started gathering momentum. “There’s been a huge amount of hard work to demonstrate to Surf Life Saving Queensland and Noosa Council that we have the determination, community support and local Peregian surf lifesavers to drive the growth of the new Club.” Ms McCready is a longstanding Peregian

Sengstock joins council Noosa Council’s new Director for Infrastructure Services Larry Sengstock’s resume packs quite a punch. Sengstock comes to Noosa fresh from planning and delivering Victoria’s $57 million Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre and the $19 million transformation of Traralgon Sports Stadium for Latrobe City Council. He’s a former Chief Executive of Basketball Australia and was head of Sport and Operations for the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. Mr Sengstock is a highly regarded local government executive with extensive experience in business and project delivery. He’s excited about his move to Noosa. “I’m really looking forward to working in Noosa and using my knowledge and experience that I’ve gained over my wide and varied career to support and further develop the initiatives that are already in place for Noosa Shire,” he said. The Maryborough-born Queenslander says teamwork is an important ingredient in success, and something he credits for his own achievements in the corporate and local government sphere as well as on court. “Having played a team sport at the top level, you appreciate that nothing is achieved as an individual and that’s how I approach my senior management roles,” he said. “My focus has been to make a difference and ensure I create a positive legacy.” Noosa Council CEO Brett de Chastel said Larry’s experience and management style would be a huge asset to Council and the community. “Larry has an impressive resume and is a quality person with extensive leadership experience, “His proven track record of delivering a diverse range of significant infrastructure projects will prove invaluable, particularly as we

Larry Sengstock ready to put his mark on Noosa Council. prepare to deliver our biggest capital works program,” he said. “In his most recent role at Latrobe City Council, Larry oversaw the delivery of $70 million in sporting facilities and that wealth of knowledge will be important for our Infrastructure Services department, particularly as we prepare to deliver our biggest ever capital works program,” Mr de Chastel said.

The four-time Olympian played more than 290 games for Australia, attended four World Championships, and was part of five National Basketball League championship winning teams. A Basketball Australia Hall of Fame inductee, Sengstock holds a Masters of Business Administration from Victoria University, Bachelor of Applied Science and Physical Education and a Diploma of Education.

The 61-year-old has a close affinity with Noosa. “In fact I started surfing at Main Beach Noosa in 1970 when there was wasn’t much more than a surf club and a few shops,” he said. “My parents have lived in the Noosa area for 40 years and I have always considered Noosa to be my home base.” He started work Monday June 14.

The kings of the river With Tewantin’s Parkyn Hut tourist information centre celebrating its 20th anniversary this week, PHIL JARRATT looks at the Parkyn family legacy in this excerpt from Place of Shadows, The History of Noosa: In the decade between the end of World War I and the opening of T M Burke’s bridges at Doonella and Weyba Creek, fishing and tourism became locked together in a death grip of economic survival, held together by the two families who ruled the waterways — the Massouds and the Parkyns. Since Ted Massoud first bought the Riverlight, it had fished by night and ferried schoolkids up and down the river by day. After the war, it also became a ferry for Noosa Heads tourists arriving at Tewantin, and for daytrippers wanting to explore the waterways or be delivered to the Noosa Woods for a picnic. These duties the Massouds shared with Jack Parkyn and his sons, Howard and Cloudsley, who, in addition to having the main fishing wharf at Tewantin and leasing the riverfront at Munna Point as a campground, owned the Miss Tewantin, the sexiest boat on the river. It was the Parkyns who got the better of the trade in arrivals for Noosa Heads, particularly after the Donovans took over the Royal Mail Hotel. Young Lionel Donovan would pick up the tourists from the train at Cooroy in his latest gleaming Tourer, drive them to Tewantin for a refreshing drink or an overnight stay at the Mail, then hand them on to the Parkyns, who would motor them down the river to the Noosa inlet in the Miss Tewantin and carry their bags along the sandy track to the Donovans’ Laguna House. By 1927, the connections were impeccable. It took approximately six hours to make the 150-kilometre journey from Brisbane to Noosa Heads, but it could be done in one day, barring

Rallying behind Sara By Abbey Cannan The Noosa community has rallied behind a local single mum who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. In the past week over $15,000 has been raised via GoFundMe for Sunrise Beach resident Sara Di-Nuzzo who had to endure a full craniotomy. Diagnosed only seven weeks ago, Sara required surgery immediately as the placement of the tumour was causing fast deterioration of her condition. The Sunshine Coast resident of 21 years said it was hard to put into words how tough the experience has been on herself and her daughter Isabella, 17. “I am just the person who always soldiers on and gets things done and I’m actually struggling with how little I can do right now,” she said. “I only got home Sunday but staying upright for ten minutes seems to be about all I have in me.” Sara said the first signs of the brain tumour began about four years ago with pins and needles in her hands. “It eventually got to a list of some 40 odd symptoms that make me sound completely crazy,” she said. These symptoms ranged from feeling pressure in the head, to memory loss, to complete loss of consciousness. “I’ve had doctors tell me to bleach my hair so I don’t notice it’s falling out, to one even after seeing the MRI tell me that’s not causing your symptoms,” Sara said. “I was deflated and exhausted; eight odd doctors later, two episodes where I had blacked out in excess of 13 minutes, and my speech was deteriorating. “I found a surgeon in Sydney who had viewed my scans and had a Skype consultation telling me pretty much, ‘Operate or you’re dead’.

“Unfortunately interstate patient insurance issues meant I’d waited a further seven weeks and still no operation. I was deteriorating fast.” A member of the pineal tumour group Australia on Facebook had mentioned a Queensland doctor and Sara managed to get a referral to see him. “Dr Tollesson took one look at my scan and said ’You are in trouble’,” Sara said. “Friday evening I was having a CSF flow study done on my brain showing next to no flow and tectal plate pressure. I was operated on Tuesday morning, full craniotomy with one less tumour. “I owe this humble beautiful human my life.” Her recovery time is at least four months, and seeing as she is self-employed, she’s reaching out to her community for support. “I have spent most of my life as a PAYG employee, so not having it when you need it most is hard,” she said. “I’m one of those people that work 10 to 12 hours a day. I was even at work Friday morning before the doctor’s appointment but I’m in for a tough few months ahead.” Sara has private health insurance, however she still faces substantial out-of-pocket costs with $55,000 worth of surgeon and anaesthetists fees. “I think the system is broken to pay $450 a month in private health insurance and to still walk away with a significant debt and no support is a hard pill to swallow,” she said. “I’m currently having issues with my hearing and tinnitus which I hope settles, not to mention the having a cut in my head, but I just have to remind myself I was split like a watermelon. “I’m stubborn and I’m a fighter... so I will get there.” To donate visit www.gofundme.com/f/ saras-brain-tumour-surgery-recovery

Stars join Charity Gala Tennis champion Pat Rafter returns to Noosa to help raise funds for vital paediatric medical equipment at the Reed & Co. Charity Gala. Every second counts when a child’s life is on the line, which is why Reed & Co. Estate Agents, in collaboration with the LOYAL Foundation and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, have committed to raising funds for vital paediatric medical equipment for Queensland Regional Hospitals. The Charity Gala on Saturday 19 June at Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort will be hosted by Humpty Dumpty patron and TV personality, Ray Martin. The starry night will feature a panel discussion with Pat Rafter, Tim Horan, Layne Beachley hosted by one of Australian’s most loved sports reporters, Erin Molan. Guests will have the opportunity to select and purchase a specific piece of paediatric medical equipment in their name from Humpty’s Wish List, which has been formulated based on the hospital’s most pressing needs. Throughout the evening, guests will also have the chance to bid on some incredible items and experiences as part of a live auction, all of which have been kindly donated by local businesses. Local real estate agency, Reed & Co. Estate Agents has helped raise more than $180,000, going directly to purchase vital paediatric medical equipment since opening its doors in 2018; proving they are much more than a real estate agency. Reed & Co. founder and principal Adrian Reed said that his company felt privileged to be able to give back to the community. “When we opened the doors to Reed & Co. Estate Agents in 2018, our intention was to create a fresh approach to real estate centred around the community. Together with the LOYAL and Humpty Dumpty Foundation, our goal for hosting the Charity Gala is to ensure that Queensland Hospitals have adequate and often life-saving medical equipment for sick

Ray Martin with Reed & Co Estate Agents director Adrian Reed and injured children,” he said. Karl van de Merwe, a doctor at the Noosa Hospital, said the Emergency Department Team at Noosa Hospital have used the pieces of equipment donated at the 2019 Charity Gala many times and have been able to save the lives of children. “Specific equipment like the Hamilton

Ventilator, paediatric airway carts, and the neopuff infant resuscitator has assisted in providing the best care to critically ill paediatric patients.” “Thanks to the generous donations, we now have the same equipment as the Brisbane retrieval teams, which means critical time is saved when the retrieval teams arrive to trans-

fer the child to Brisbane.” Guests who are unable to attend can still be involved by making a donation or purchasing a piece of medical equipment from the Wish List prior to the event.

Adversity drives speakers Noosa District State High School senior students have learnt about overcoming adversity, aiming high and developing resilience through inspirational speeches. The speeches were delivered by Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and three University of the Sunshine Coast athletes including ocean ski world champion Jordan Mercer, wheelchair basketballer Steven Elliot, and cross-country Queensland representative Ben Tacey. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart began the proceedings on Thursday afternoon, sharing her story of survival and determination following a horrific accident 20 years ago. “I was working as a graduate in Sydney at KPMG, living in Bondi Beach, jogging 10 kilometres every day. I crossed the road at the pedestrian crossing, as I did most days, and a garbage truck, that was doing its rounds, collected me,” Mayor Stewart said. The Noosa Mayor was trapped under the vehicle for 37 minutes and was conscious for the duration of the rescue efforts by the emergency services. “The paramedics put towels over what was left of my legs, because they didn’t want me to see the mess, blood and tissue,” Mayor Stewart said. The Noosa Mayor advised students to never let adversity define who they are or who they become. Ocean ski world champion and Iron Woman Jordan Mercer spoke to the students about her career journey from a gymnast to surf lifesaving, paddle boarding and AFL. Ms Mercer views her injuries and setbacks she has faced along the way as positives that have helped her to achieve her proudest moments. “They’ve made me stronger and wiser,” Ms Mercer said. She told the students that it was all up to them to decide whether to make an experience

Wheelchair basketballer Steven Elliot told the students how transverse myelitis changed his life forever with the condition causing his immune system to attack his spinal cord and leaving him with limited movement from the waist down. He spoke of his love of the rough and tumble of wheelchair basketball and his plans to compete at the 2021 Tokyo Paralympic Games. Mr Elliot showcased his speed and agility in his custom-made basketball wheelchair, taking on cross-country Queensland representative Ben Tacey and Year 12 student (and keen runner) Luke Gregory.

Cross-country runner Ben Tacey encouraged the students to adopt positive attitudes. “The mind is a powerful tool. What we invest a lot of time thinking about can end up as our result. That’s why I don’t ever think about having a bad race,” Mr Tacey said. Mr Tacey told the students that preparation is crucial for a positive mindset. The senior students felt empowered and thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. Year 11 student Jannali Shorey said the speakers provided the students with practical and useful advice. “We might not all become athletes, but what they had to say was very poignant and has come at a very helpful time for us.

Laura and Philip Bunting reading with their three children.

Laura reading to baby Leo.

Dad’s got stories to tell By Melissa Grant Caring for a sleep-troubled baby put Philip Bunting on the path to becoming one of Australia’s most popular children’s picture book authors. Philip and wife Laura would read picture book after picture book to their son Leo in a seemingly never-ending battle to get him to nod off. “When our son Leo was born, he was a terrible sleeper,” the Eumundi dad explained. “For the first year and a half of his life he didn’t sleep for more than two consecutive hours. “But the thing that always got him was reading. “We read heaps of picture books to Leo when he was little - we were probably reading about 20 a day.” Philip is now a prolific children’s author, having published 23 picture books in just four years.

He writes and illustrates the books. His illustrations are distinctive, although he jokes this is because he can’t actually draw. His first book, Mopoke, actually started out as a self-printed first birthday gift for his daughter, Florence. “A couple of people said to me, you should send some copies off to the printers,” he recalled. “I remember thinking ‘oh yeah, I’ll see what happens’. “I sent them off to eight publishers. I had eight offers in two weeks - they all wanted it!” Mopoke, a cute story about a little owl’s struggle to find peace, was the first of four books Philip had published in 2017. The father-of-three is now averaging seven to eight books a year after becoming a fulltime author in mid-2019. Beforehand, the English native was in magazine publishing. He worked for Time Out Magazine in the UK, Dubai and Sydney before

moving to Brisbane to be closer to Laura’s family. They moved to Eumundi in 2017, a place Philip describes as having a “solid community“, good schools and great outdoor adventures with mountains and beaches. Philip said simply being a parent taught him what works when writing children’s books. “A good book always has to work on two levels. You are writing for the adult and the child at the same time,” he explained. Good humour is a must, and it’s good to have a simple message although sometimes a book can just be a platform for fun between parent and child, he added. Philip has co-authored books with his wife Laura, who was a journalist before she became a mum, and has also collaborated with others, including comedian Dave Hughes. Philip and Laura usually only read their books once to their children Leo, 8, Florence, 6 and Arthur, 3. “It’s probably because Laura and I have seen the book so many times that we don’t

want to read it to the kids,” he said. It’s an exciting year for Philip. Apart from publishing four books and another three due for release, one of his titles is in the running for a coveted award and another has been read from space. Not Cute is on the shortlist for the Children’s Book Council of Australia Picture Book, a highly sought after award. Give Me Some Space! was selected as the book for National Simultaneous Storytime. The book was read by astronaut Shannon Walker from the International Space Station on 19 May. But there’s another book he holds close to his heart. “The one that means the most to me is Mopoke as it represented the biggest change in my life. As soon as that book was done and signed I knew I wasn’t pursuing the dreams of my 20s any more - I was on a different path.” You can check out Philip Bunting on Instagram and at philipbunting.com

Youturn unveils space Youturn has unveiled upgraded amenities at Youturn Youth Support centre in Tewantin, which will provide tangible benefits to the local community who are at risk, vulnerable or homeless. The new facilities have been created as part of the Queensland State Government’s Unite and Recover Stimulus Package in association with Noosa Council. CEO of Youturn Youth Support Andrew Anderson said, “For most people a morning shower is something you take for granted, but for someone living on the street or in a car, a simple warm shower and a place to wash their clothes can give them a little dignity and mean the world.” “We are grateful to Noosa Council and the Queensland State Government for muchneeded funds, which has fast tracked a number of critical infrastructure projects, such as

Laura Fox, Tanya Bell of Youturn, Tina Donovan of Unity Water, Darce Foley of Youturn pictured in front of the new laundry facilities available for those seeking emergency relief. the Youturn laundry facilities for those who are doing it tough and sleeping rough.” The upgrades to Youturn’s Shower, Laundry and Toilet Facilities are now complete and of-

fers a more functional layout with new tiles, fresh paint reflecting our Youturn branding, benches, sinks and mirrors among other fixtures and fittings. Equipped with two washers, two dryers, three showers and three toilets, including disabled amenities, the upgraded facilities will be a welcome addition to the Emergency Relief services and support that Youturn offers. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said Youturn’s upgraded Community Space would help meet an important need in the local community. “The refurbished facilities will cater for increased demand and ensure those doing it tough in Noosa always have somewhere to turn for a hot shower, a place to wash their clothes and a healthy meal while they wait,” Cr Stewart said. “Council is really pleased to support this project as part of a package of works we’re de-

livering with Unite and Recover funding from the State Government.” “In addition to our new bathroom and laundry amenities, we are also pleased to unveil a new kitchenette and decking / seating area for those accessing emergency relief. These upgrades have been made possible by the generous support of local businesses including Unity Water, Commonwealth Bank Tewantin, TURSA Employment and Training and Bunnings Noosaville,” Mr Anderson said. The number of Australians aged 18 to 24 who experienced higher levels of housing stress increased threefold between April and May 2020, from 10.3% to 27.5% according to the Australian National University, COVID Data. “These are sobering statistics, and more so during this time of COVID, when many in our community have lost their jobs and fallen on hard times,“ Mr Anderson said.

Celebrating new Coast bowel cancer nurse role This Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, Bloomhill Cancer Care is celebrating the achievements of its new Bowel Care Nurse. Kirsty Ferguson took on the role in February, and said she’s already helped many Bloomhill clients with individualised support. “We’re working with Bowel Cancer Australia to support the first dedicated Bowel Care Nurse in the Queensland region, for the next three years,” Ms Ferguson said. “I provide patients with a constant, dedicated point of contact throughout their care, and offer ongoing support during and after treatment. “It’s been great enabling people to take a more active role in their bowel care treat-

ment and helping to improve awareness in the wider community of how to prevent bowel cancer.” Diagnosed with bowel cancer at age 38, Sally’s two young boys were by her side when she was delivered the news, “I’m sorry you have cancer”. Sally was quickly admitted to hospital for major bowel surgery, which removed the early cancer, and she did not need chemotherapy. Sally came to know Bloomhill’s staff and volunteers shortly after the diagnosis. With an ever-positive attitude and a beautiful smile, Sally considers herself fortunate in so many respects. “I am extremely lucky in that I followed

my gut instinct,” Sally recalled. “I sought medical advice and have a GP who referred me for appropriate screening which identified my early cancer.” An advocate for bowel cancer survivorship, Sally says she is excited that Bloomhill now has a dedicated bowel care nurse. “I was so excited to hear the news that Bloomhill had secured funding for Queensland’s first Bowel Care Nurse,” she said. “This is a huge win, not only for the Sunshine Coast, but also for the Australian bowel cancer community. Australia has one of this highest bowel cancer rates in the world, with 1 in 13 Australians developing the dis-

ease in their lifetime. “Many people with bowel cancer need specialist support to help them to manage symptoms unique to their condition- including ongoing changes to bowel habits, dietary and nutritional challenges, emotional and social strain, sexual dysfunction and support returning to work and their community. “It’s fantastic that bowel cancer patients within our community will have access to this crucial nursing role, in the same way that we have the amazing specialist McGrath, Prostate and Leukaemia nurses. Well done to the Bloomhill team for being a part of nursing history.”

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

TRUE GRIT SBS, 9.30pm

SUNDAY

HUNGER ABC TV, 9.25pm

The history of Northern Ireland can be shocking to revisit in earnest. In 1981, a number of Irish prisoners went on a hunger strike in protest at the British Government’s refusal to classify them as political prisoners. Steve McQueen depicts the final six weeks in the life of Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender, left), the first of 10 hunger strikers to die that year. An incredibly bleak piece of work – it is more a film about human suffering than political propaganda. Difficult but essential viewing.

SUNDAY

AUSTRALIAN NINJA WARRIOR NINE, 7pm

A mammoth task is set for this season of Australian Ninja Warrior. How do you eclipse season four when videographer-turned-muscleman-extraordinaire Ben Polson was ﬁnally the ﬁrst contestant to conquer the near-impossible obstacle course, Mount Midoriyama, after seasons of nail-biting drama, pocketing the jackpot of $400,000? Well, recruiting Aussie tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios, who is famed for being unable to bite his tongue, to join hosts Shane Crawford, Ben Fordham (right) and Rebecca Maddern could be the ticket to success. On top of that, there are 26 new courses, including the intriguing ‘Dragon Back’ and ominous ‘Underwater Escape’. But, let’s face it: fans love this adrenaline-packed show any way it comes.

FRIDAY

MASTERMIND AUSTRALIA SBS, 7.30pm

When SBS premiered Mastermind Australia in 2019, it seemed like a gamble. Who wanted to watch a quiz show inspired by the Gestapo’s interrogation methods? But what sounded dark and sombre turned out to be a riveting show, with just the right measure of intensity and levity. Most of all, the incredible and detailed knowledge displayed by the contestants has been enthralling, quickly catapulting the show to one of the most watched on the network. Now, with Marc Fennell having found his groove in the hosting chair, we come to season three’s nail-biting ﬁnal. Four remaining contenders put their skills to the test: who will be the next Australian Mastermind?

Jeff Bridges (below) reunites with Big Lebowski filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen as he takes on the role of Rooster Cogburn in this gritty western. Drawing inspiration from Charles Portis’ original novel rather than the 1969 classic that earned John Wayne an Oscar, the Coens return the focus to Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), a vengeful 14-year-old girl who enlists the help of the ageing lawman to track down her father’s killer (Josh Brolin). Matt Damon saddles up alongside the pair as a Texas ranger also hunting down the murderer. The definitive adaptation of the novel that firmly stakes its place in the American Western hall of fame.

NEW PLANS TO QUELL BUSHFIRE THREAT More planned burns, extra fire trails, additional staff and new equipment to help mitigate Noosa’s bushland reserve fire risk Lives and homes will be better protected from bushfires with the launch of a raft of new fire mitigation measures for Noosa’s bushland reserves. Council will clear an additional two kilometres of fire trail and widen a further 1.7 kilometres of existing trails. More planned burns will help

reduce the threat to residents, while appointment of a new Bushland Reserve Fire Management Officer will allow Council to carry out its own burns. “We’ve typically relied on contractors, but they are spread thin across Australia,” Principal Environment Officer, Peter Milne, said.

“Building our capacity to carry out that work ourselves will put us in a much better position to conduct an average of seven planned burns a year.” The fire mitigation measures are detailed in a Bushfire Reserve Strategic Fire Management Plan, developed by Council with community input.

“Bushland reserves account for around 4% of the shire. “Nevertheless we have quite a lot of bushland areas adjacent to our urban areas. “Our aim is to mitigate risk to people who live near these areas, anyone who visits these areas and the risk to biodiversity.”

FIGHTING FIRES WITH NEW TECH day at the Hub could be used to prevent and fight them.” Over the past year, Chris and his team have built a global network of over 70 technology companies working on promising bushfire resilience solutions and provided them with commercial support through mentoring and industry events. In December, council was awarded a $2M grant from the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments under Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements to develop a ‘Living Laboratory’ in Noosa that could help to fast-track the adoption of these technologies.

Chris Boden, Director Peregian Digital Hub

If you ask Chris Boden, Director Peregian Digital Hub, the best part of his job he will tell you it’s learning and working on innovative projects. And his latest project certainly ticks those boxes. The Digital Hub is developing what’s known as a ‘Living Laboratory’ which will gather and process a range of data which

can be used to detect and predict bushfire behaviour using artificial intelligence. “The Hub nearly burnt down 18 months ago in the bushfire that swept through Peregian Beach,” said Chris. “Following that event, I took a keen interest in the bushfire crisis and wanted to know how the technologies that I see every

“In the first phase we are rolling out a network of cameras and LoRaWAN gateways on high altitude locations. These cameras provide bushland imagery for the purposes of predicting and detecting bushfires using artificial intelligence,” said Chris. “Providing facilities for the best bushfire technology will help Council and partner agencies like QFES get access to the latest and greatest solutions to prevent future catastrophes. It’s an exciting project and I’m still learning every day!”

Cash injection to double efforts towards bushfire resilience

Don’t wait for a natural disaster to happen.

A newly proposed annual levy will help boost bushfire management and ensure the future of the shire’s volunteer firefighting heroes.

August is the official start of the bushfire season so now is the time to be prepared and check out the shire’s first Emergency Action Guide.

The Bushfire Resilience and Response Levy is part of the 2122 Council budget. The minimum charge that will be payable by all properties will be $10, with a separate rate in the dollar applied to land values to determine the total amount payable by property owners. “This allows us to double our current funding towards bushfire resilience and increase our

bushland reserve hazard reduction burn program,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. The levy will raise $600,000 a year and some funds would be allocated to support volunteer rural fire brigades. Cr Stewart said the levy would assist in the purchase of equipment for rural firefighters. “QFES currently jointly funds the rural fire services including necessary fire fighting vehicles and equipment, but some of the levy funding could be used to purchase other equipment and cover operational costs not funded

by QFES,” she said. Upgrades and maintenance of fire access trails will also be a focus from the levy funding.

Produced by council and the Noosa Disaster Management Group, the 55-page guide has everything you need to know to prepare, respond and recover from disaster events. The guide focuses on all types of natural disasters with the safety of you, your family and property the fundamental priority. Head to council’s website to download your own copy today.

Sign of stronger ties A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Noosa Council and the University of the Sunshine Coast is set to pave the way for new education, research and on-thejob training opportunities. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the MoU would formalise council’s strong working relationship with the university. “We’re excited to strengthen our ties and work more closely to develop new opportunities for our community, the university’s students, council projects and staff,” she said. USC Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Helen Bartlett said USC is committed to building strong partnerships with local government, community and business and she is confident that this agreement will lead to a range of significant outcomes for the region. “Together we will seek to identify, promote and deliver research projects and activities that progress the economic, social and environmental development of the Noosa Council region,” Professor Bartlett said. “This agreement presents great opportunities to assist local industries including tourism, provide work-integrated learning for our students, and contribute to important environmental initiatives. “I am delighted to see this agreement come to fruition and look forward to establishing a close working relationship with the council into the future.” Councillor representation on a management panel will rotate annually, starting with Cr Karen Finzel for the first 12 months. Cr Finzel said research projects involving PhD and other USC students to support Council initiatives, are among potential opportunities to be explored. “This partnership may open up new professional development avenues for staff, as well

Mayor Clare Stewart signs the MoU with USC Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Helen Bartlett (l) and Cr Karen Finzel (r). as new educational opportunities for Noosa residents,” she said. Cr Finzel said the partnership could provide new avenues for students to gain realworld work experience with council business areas to help them graduate industry-ready. The MoU will establish a working group of

USC and council staff to identify projects the two organisations can work together on. “We may be able to link innovative businesses in the region with USC researchers to develop new products and services - there are all sorts of possibilities we can jointly explore,” Mayor Stewart said.

“The University of the Sunshine Coast is our major university. In addition to its campus at Sippy Downs, USC has maintained a physical presence in Noosa for almost 15 years. “We’re pleased to formalise our working relationship with this Memorandum of Understanding,” the Mayor said.

Agreement to boost Bisophere role as living lab A Memorandum of Understanding between USC and the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) looks set to strengthen the biosphere reserve’s ongoing role as a ‘living lab’. The agreement was signed recently by USC Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Helen Bartlett and NBRF Chair Rex Halverson and has a keen focus on research and learning that relates to conservation and sustainability. It formalises an existing relationship between the two organisations and paves the way for important research activities, education events for the public (such as symposia and conferences) and more educational opportunities for USC students. Professor Bartlett said the university was looking forward to working closely with the NBRF on a range of projects that will have a regional, national and global impact. “Together we will support and coordinate

research and education that enhances biodiversity conservation and promotes sustainable living in Noosa,” Professor Bartlett said. “This will be achieved through collaborative research partnerships, joint education events, and delivering education initiatives such as undergraduate work integrated learning opportunities or postgraduate scholarships for Master and PhD students.” The Noosa Biosphere Reserve encompasses the local government area of the Noosa Shire plus three kilometres offshore. Mr Halverson explained Noosa gained UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 2007 in recognition of the community’s commitment to achieving a balance between environmental conservation and sustainable human development. “This internationally recognised status presents a unique opportunity to establish the region as a ‘living lab,’ a place to encourage scientific experimentation, research and

the development of sustainable solutions to contemporary challenges and issues,” he said. “The MoU with USC reflects our shared aim of meeting the global goals and spirit of biosphere reserves, where community work together towards a sustainable future. Through this partnership we have made significant advances in koala research and the MoU will continue to deliver long-term benefits for the Noosa region.” The MoU’s management committee will aim to develop and implement undergraduate workplace integrated learning initiatives for disciplines that include environmental management, urban design and town planning, law, business and communication. It will also investigate mechanisms to deliver a Noosa Biosphere Reserve ‘report card’ that regularly reports on the state of the reserve in line with UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program objectives.

Frank Wilkie.

The new theatre, 1975.

Picture: COURTESY NOOSA ARTS THEATRE

The art of being Frank By Phil Jarratt Frank Wilkie, deputy mayor of Noosa and a man who wears many hats, is sitting in the front row of his happy place, the Noosa Arts Theatre, telling me about growing up in the Brisbane northern suburb of Ashgrove with his talented mate, Keith Urban. “Keith lived across the street,” he says. “We were both about nine or 10, but he was already pretty good with the guitar. He’d hang out on the corner in his embroidered shirts and denims with a bunch of girls surrounding him, and he’d start to play Creedence’s Bad Moon Rising, and the girls would all be swooning. I remember thinking, I want to be able to do that. So I started learning guitar, and my first song was ‘What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor’ because it only had two chords.” I tell him my first song was ‘Tom Dooley’ for the same reason, but I never progressed much beyond that. Without warning, the deputy mayor leaps out of his seat and bursts into song. “Hang down your head, Tom Dooley, hang down your head and cry, hang down your head, Tom Dooley, poor boy you’re bound to die.” His rich, powerful baritone fills the small, cosy theatre. It’s an attention grabber. You wonder why he doesn’t use the technique to enliven the drone of debate in council meetings, but in fact Cr Wilkie takes his political career very seriously, and although he doesn’t perform as a musician, he regards his 50-plus roles in Noosa Arts Theatre productions over 20 years as simply “food for the soul”. The Urban family moved to Caboolture and Frank lost touch with his mate, who went on to become a musical megastar and still has girls swooning in his late middle age. But inspired by his musical dad, who used to play the Brisbane folk clubs with swimming coach Laurie Lawrence, Frank jammed with his mates and busked his way through uni, opening his guitar case on Queen Street and nodding his Afro and earrings appreciatively as coins were dropped in response to his renditions of Bob Dylan and Eagles’ songs. He qualified as a teacher and then did postgrad journalism, but adventure beckoned and he ended up in the Whitsundays, working in tourism. The human resources manager on South Molle Island, an attractive girl named Palmira, gave him a gig and they became an item, buying a house near Noosa and moving to town in 1996. They were married in 2000 and have a 19-year-old daughter, Zigi. In Noosa, Frank worked as a journalist, first at the now defunct Noosa Citizen and later for the Sunshine Coast Daily and the Noosa News, where he was the editor for a couple of years. One evening, in his role as film and theatre critic for the paper, he sat in the Noosa Arts Theatre watching a production, and, he recalls: “The hairs on the back of my neck just stood up, and I thought, I want to do this. And I followed through on that idea, joined the group, took acting lessons and worked with a really good director named Mary-Ann Vale who was from the Griffin Company in Sydney, and she started me on script work too.” At that time there was a dressing room audition for a production of Hotel Sorrento, and Frank read for the role of Dick the journalist and got it. He says: “I had no previous acting experience or training, just a sense I could do it. Soon after I joined Noosa Arts I was reading some David Williamson plays over the Christ34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 June, 2021

Well, within a month or two of that I was in a Williamson play with David and Kristin at the inaugural Noosa Long Weekend. So dreams do come true. Because I’ve been so lucky in that regard, I’m now trying to give back and help young actors achieve their dreams.” Frank Wilkie, now 57, is into his seventh term as president of Noosa Arts Theatre, and having played an important role in the second half of the company’s colourful 50-year history, he takes great pride in showing me around the memorabilia on the walls, pointing out his own inspirations amongst the revered writers, actors, directors and producers who have flourished under patron David Williamson. Plans for a 50th anniversary celebration last year were scuttled when Covid closed the theatre for a long period, but it bounced back earlier this year with a sell-out season of Mamma Mia, with Frank in yet another leading role. And the Queensland premiere of Williamson’s latest (and possibly last), the “R-rated” Up For Grabs, with David and Kristin’s son Rory directing, will play next month as part of the NoosaAlive! Festival. But what I find really fascinating about Noosa Arts is its humble beginnings when Noosa was still a village and the people who did all the heavy lifting, from writing and performing to selling tickets and beer and putting out the bins, were the same pioneers who were busily saving Noosa from mindless development and the rule of the bulldozer. Environmental warriors like Dr Arthur and Marjorie Harrold, Nancy Cato, Emma Freeman and Cecily Fearnley dominate the early history because they had a dream of preserving the natural beauty of this place while making it a hive of cultural activity, but to be fair it was realtor Roy Osment who got them a shed for $500, and car dealer and

footie fan Len Daddow who arranged a lease on land adjoining the AFL ground. Be it ever so humble, Noosa Arts Theatre had a proper home by 1976, when it was opened by the company patron and former Queensland treasurer Sir Thomas Hiley. The tin shed theatre has seen many expansions and improvements since then, but at the start it immediately became the hub of Noosa’s cultural life. Says Frank Wilkie: “When the Noosa Arts Theatre was established it was the entire arts centre of Noosa, everything from art exhibitions to film society nights to music concerts and plays. Now it’s more egalitarian, I think, with all of the groups and associations that have formed since working together. “We don’t want the arts to be exclusive, we want to throw open the doors and keep it fresh. There are a lot of retirees involved in the arts, of course, and they’re living rich and fulfilling lives through that involvement, but also there are so many more young people keen to get involved, and there’s no longer this stigma about it – like are you going to play footie or be in the school play? Now they’ll do both, and come to rehearsals straight from footie practice or doing patrols on the beach. That’s what I love about what’s happening in the arts in Noosa. Post-Covid, people are craving arts and entertainment, cultural enrichment because they’ve realised what’s important – storytelling and music.” Meanwhile, Frank has this other life. After a decade of reporting on Noosa Shire Council, in 2007, when the inspirational Vivien Griffin resigned, he decided to try to get inside the tent, and won the by-election convincingly. Just as well, because his newspaper told him he could run for council or be a journalist, but not at the same time. But then Premier Peter Beattie announced that Noosa was on the target list for council amalgamations. He fought tooth and

Picture: COURTESY TRAVIS MCFARLANE nail against amalgamation, but within a year he was out of a job. Deciding you had to be in the game to win it, he ran for Noosa representation on the Sunshine Coast Council, but was defeated by Russell Green. He recalls: “It was the blackest night of my soul! Not because it was close – it wasn’t –it was just devastating, but in retrospect it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I took a job teaching at the Noosa Pengari Steiner School, and for me it opened up a way into education that was a two-way process. At Steiner you learn from the kids as much as they learn from you. It was humbling and enlightening at the same time.” After Noosa won de-amalgamation in 2014, Frank was elected to Mayor Noel Playford’s caretaker council, then won again in 2016 and was appointed deputy mayor under Tony Wellington. In 2020 he became deputy mayor under Clare Stewart. Of his political philosophy he says: “I think that teaching experience (at Steiner) led me to realise that there’s a better way to get things done in politics than kicking heads. Outside the party system you can get so much more done for the community, as Sandy Bolton has shown. In council there are always stoushes happening or about to happen, but the apocalypse never seems to arrive. And for me it’s always about the issues, not the personalities. You can be robust about the issues but you have to remember that the people you are dealing with are members of this community, so you have to be gentle and understanding.” Ambitions for the future? “It’s an honour to be deputy mayor, I’m happy where I am. Let’s leave it at that.” Beyond politics? “Well, I hope I continue to win roles at the Arts Theatre, but maybe later in life I’ll put a little band together. It’s fun to play music with your friends.” Watch out, SandFlys!

Whale hearing will be the focus of the next three years of research as part of long term studies that has made Peregian Beach the base for the biggest research project on baleen whales in the world. Led by University of Queensland humpback whale researchers Professor Michael Noad and Dr Rebecca Dunlop the studies have investigated the population and songs of the humpbacks on their annual migration from Antartica to their breeding and birthing grounds in Hervey Bay. Last Thursday Dr Noad spoke about some of the findings from his 25 years of research, at the Association of Independent Retirees Noosa Branch meeting. Humpbacks are baleen (toothless) whales that use baleen plates to sieve krill and small fish enabling them to feed in mass quantities. As they pass our shores travelling north the polygamous males are looking for a female mate while the pregnant females are heading to the warm waters to give birth to their calves after a year’s gestation. Whales are sexually mature at 5 years of age and the females can produce a calf every year throughout their 50 year lifespan, Dr Noad said. Scientists estimate the east coast migrating population to have been about 30,000 before hunting of them began in the 1950s. Dr Noad said between 1952-62 humpbacks were hunted from stations at Tangalooma and Byron Bay under a government quota of 700 whales a year (600 at Tangalooma). But in 1962 only 62 whales were caught and, thinking there were no whales left, the stations were abandoned. Dr Noad said in two years from 1960-62 a Russian whaling processing ship, The Slava,

Humpback whale researchers Professor Michael Noad and Dr Rebecca Dunlop. had taken 22,000 whales in the Antarctic, wiping out 99 per cent of the population leaving only about 300 remaining. “We didn’t know until 1990 when the information came out with the fall of the Soviet Union,” he said. Surveys of the migrating humpbacks began in the 1970s, the last in 2015 counting a population of 25,000. Now nearing its pre-hunting population the researchers predict after years building their population the next decade for the whales could bring a period of adjustment that could include beachings, a die off or thinner whales. Dr Noad’s whale song research began in 1995. About 3km off shore from Peregian Beach the researchers have anchored acoustic but

as they record and try to analyse the meaning behind the whale songs. By triangulating the acoustics they can work out which whales are singing and where they are swimming. What the researchers do know is that only males sing, some sing louder than others, they don’t sing in unison or chorus and while they will sing beside a female they stop singing when swimming beside a male. “They usually sing for 1-2 hours. Each song is 5-10 minutes. There’s about seven themes in a singing session,” Dr Noad said. What they don’t know is why whales sing but they suspect they sing as a strategy to attract females or interrupt other males. The songs are complex with a tremendous variety of pitch and all males in the population sing the same song.

The team discovered in 1997 how much they crave a new song when a group of whales started singing a new song and two months later the new song had taken over. “It was a complete song change not just a small change,” he said. The adoption of songs from other whale populations around the world has led researchers to consider the songs may be tied to the communication of weather predictions or food availability. While the whales migrate north out to sea they hug the coast on their return journey, particularly the mothers and calves that prefer the shallow waters, giving both researchers and residents fantastic access to the migratory corridor.

Show time a hit for all By Margaret Maccoll World champion show jumper Billy Raymont may have had his overseas competitions halted by COVID but last weekend he was riding full tilt on his trusty steed Anton at the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show with big plans for the future. Billy’s lineup of competition engagements included the regional shows of Childers, Gympie, Maryborough as well as last week’s show at Nambour, followed by World Cup show jumps at Gatton this month and Caboolture later in the year. With his new horse, Black Jack, Billy hopes competitions on the world stage will return next year. While show jumping was a dominant feature of the Nambour show crowds flocked to the event for the side shows, exhibits and livestock. Among them was Marko Mircic from Ottawa Llamas who had brought a few of his 30 llamas to the show to talk about his easy-going, therapeutic animals. It was after losing some sheep in a dog attack that Marko decided to get some llamas to protect the herd and discovered their appeal. He now takes tourists on a variety of walks with the llamas from trail walks to winery walks at Kilcoy.

Festival of Water entertained and informed visitors By Margaret Maccoll So far 100 Noosa residents have joined the Urban Wildlife Gardens program run by Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) to increase native habitat in Noosa across urban gardens. The program along with the promotion of NICA’s recently released fourth edition of its book on Noosa Native Plants was among the information NICA provided to visitors at the Festival of Water at Noosa Botanic Gardens last Sunday. NICA joined other environmental groups including wildlife rescue groups, Noosa Biosphere Foundation Reserve and Mary River Catchment Committee (MRCC) which provided information to visitors. MRCC spokesman’s Brad Wedlock tested 25 water samples brought by visitors during the day from their dams or bores. Mr Wedlock also spoke about MRCC’s program to reduce the erosion of soil into the river. He said the organisation spent much time educating farmers on the rehabilitation of riverbanks and grazing numbers in their bid to reduce the sediment load in the river. “There are a lot of new farmers in the region. They’re willing to learn,“ he said. Festival goers also enjoyed entertainment, good food and there were plenty of children’s activities. 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 June, 2021

Impressive numbers at Memory Walk

Glen Elmes is farewelled by Mayor Clare Stewart and LNP Noosa chairwoman Leigh McCready.

Elmes makes the leap from Noosa By Margaret Maccoll Glen Elmes won high praise from LNP Noosa party members last week when he bade them farewell before making a move from Noosa to Redcliffe. A stalwart of Noosa for the past 30 years Glen was Noosa MP for the party from 2006 until 2017 and held a variety of roles in government including Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and Multicultural Affairs, temporary Speaker and shadow whip. Newly-elected LNP Noosa branch chairwoman Leigh McCready said it was Glen who took her under his wings two years ago when she made a move to join the party and helped her navigate the treacherous waters of politics. That Glen held so many roles was tribute to his ability to get along with everybody, Leigh said. When you think of Glen’s achievements in

politics what stands out is his work to achieve de-amalgamation for Noosa, despite the costs to his own political career. “He really sacrificed himself for the community,” she said. Leigh told the meeting how Glen had led a rally of 7500 people (most from Noosa) in Brisbane with megaphone in hand to protest the amalgamation of Noosa with Sunshine Coast Council. He battled for de-amalgamation against Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson and took the fight to then Premier Campbell Newman along with signed forms from 30,000 Noosa residents - an amazing feat for a region with 35,000 voters at the time. Newman said it would go to a vote and Noosa voted 83 per cent in favour of de-amalgamation, Leigh said. “I’d like people to remember what a quiet achiever he was and we are all the beneficia-

ries of it,” she said. “There are few members in Parliament for so long.” Glen said it had always been an honour to have been a Member of Parliament especially for a community that you really love. He said the de-amalgamation battle had taken up years and years in Parliament but it showed they should never again try to move Noosa from its rightful place. Glen told the meeting he’d joined the Liberal Party as a 17-year-old in Mt Isa and moved to Noosa in 1985 when the area was National Party heartland. Glen said his move to Redcliffe would take him closer to his business in Brisbane but he would continue to be a regular visitor to Noosa. A party man, Glen said it was unfortunate Noosa now had an independent member.

New funding for bypass alignment for this new highway.” Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien said the funding commitment for a four-lane bypass was a major win for road safety, a significant economic boost for the Fraser Coast, and a victory for common sense. “The bypass will dramatically improve road safety with a four-lane divided road that will prevent head on collisions. It will give traffic space to move around in the event of a breakdown, and improve flood immunity to keep traffic moving when the Mary River floods,“ Mr O’Brien said. “Industry and manufacturing rely on a safe and efficient transport network and a four-lane Tiaro bypass will increase the carrying capacity of this section.”

The federal government has announced up to a further $183 million towards the construction of a four-lane bypass of Tiaro on the Bruce Highway, which takes its total commitment to $268.8 million. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the Australian Government’s new commitment would support the increasing capacity of current and future traffic demands. “The proposed bypass will remove a large portion of heavy vehicles from the Tiaro township, improving safety and liveability for residents whilst future-proofing the highway for the years ahead,” the Deputy Prime Minister said. “Field investigations have been underway within the bypass corridor study area since March 2020, helping identify the best

An amazing 410 people from the Sunshine Coast and beyond turned out on Sunday in support of Dementia Australia’s Memory Walk and Jog fundraising event. Together they raised more than $34,000 at at Kawana Surf Club, Buddina. Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe said it was a wonderful day and extended her thanks to everyone who participated, helped raised funds, spread the word, or gave a donation. “We are delighted with this fantastic turnout and the enormous levels of community spirit and support demonstrated,” Ms McCabe said. “Many people impacted by dementia find these events a great way to connect with other local people in similar circumstances. And from what we witnessed at the Sunshine Coast this event was no different!” Ms McCabe also acknowledged everyone who volunteered at the Sunshine Coast Memory Walk & Jog. “Our many volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure it ran safely and smoothly, and was enjoyable for all,” Ms McCabe said. “The success of this event simply would not have been possible without their support.” The event saw attendees take part in walk, jog or run of 2.5km, 5km or 9km. The money raised will help provide invaluable support, education and resources for people impacted by dementia in the Sunshine Coast and across Australia. Currently there are an estimated 90,000 people living with dementia in Queensland. With that figure projected to increase to about 207,000 by 2058, events like Memory Walk & Jog play an important role not only in funding support, but also in raising awareness of dementia. They are now encouraging Sunshine Coast locals who were unable to attend this event to get involved with a ‘MY Impossible Walk & Jog Challenge’.

A triumph of good food By Margaret Maccoll It may have been scaled back for COVID requirements but Noosa was abuzz last weekend as glamorous foodies descended on the shire to celebrate Noosa’s Eat and Drink festival. Some of the country’s top chefs were clearly excited to attend the festival that provided them the chance to cook amazing food using some of the region’s rich source of produce as well as having opportunity to come together and share stories. Celebrity chef Alastair McLeod said the Noosa event was the first opportunity for chefs to meet since COVID. “The cooking industry is a real family. We don’t get together that often. When we get together we talk about food,“ he said. Alastair said the chefs drew inspiration from each other at the event and returned to their restaurants promoting the virtues Noosa has to offer. Pastry chef Anna Polyviou came to the festival with plans to enjoy the activities such as the Long Lunch and after parties as well as sharing her acclaimed sweets. Mark Jensen from Sydney’s Red Lantern

Restaurant came to the festival to showcase Vietnamese cuisine. Having been to the festival three or four times it was the attitude of Noosa residents that kept drawing him back. “The locals are so enthusiastic,“ he said. “They get so excited having us here.“ It was the first Noosa visit for Masterchef 2017 winner Diana Chan who was “super excited“ to attend while chefs Max and Laura Sharrad arrived from Adelaide keen to “soak up a bit of Noosa“ and highlight their pasta dishes. Local chefs kicked off the festival with the event’s signature Long Lunch, dining the length of Hastings Street in an extravagant tribute to food and culinary skills.Guest and local chefs showcased their skills at restaurant events across the shire, shared drinks with locals and demonstrated their dishes at The Chef’s Kitchen in Noosa Woods. The relaxed atmosphere and joy of the festival was seen across the weekend and captured on Sunday when celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge teamed up with Australian Pork Limited spokesman and former The Block contestant Mitch Edwards to cook a pork roast and delight the audience with their hilarious banter.

Big Boys Business Initially war was over lands, then churches grew and religion was it’s rod. Once the automobile arrived it was oil. The recent need is drugs. Vietnam was about heroin, Afghanistan was poppies. I always believed the Chinese introduced opium to the world but the English used this to conquer China. Empress Cixi after 25 years of successful governing knew her country would no longer succeed as the country’s tradesmen were addicted to opium. Coca-Cola’s main ingredient was cocaine. Now we have pharmaceutical drugs and recreational. What I don’t get are those who take a drug and claim it ‘legal’ because a GP prescribed it. The GPP’s (General Prescription Pushers) are awarded a holiday cruise if they can peddle enough for big pharma. The recreational peddler gets a jail sentence. But a drug is a drug. Whether your poison is Oxycotin - now illegal in USA ($10 bill law suit) and known as the hillbillies heroin, antibiotics or rohypnol, just because it’s come via the hand of a doctor’s prescription seems to make it ok. Recreationally, cocaine, speed, ice or any laboratory made drug have caused enormous health/wealth issues with the consumers. I’ve had the ice manufacturers, dealers and users living beside me while the mother had 3 children in the house. Reporting the threats and smell I felt more the problem than the actual users? There is most definitely a problem when you note our elderly on 40 tablets a day, yet another when an ice addict loses control in your neighborhood. So war ... what is it good for? Absolutely nothing except yet again what it was really for is keeping the population down so the filthy rich can still eat their caviar. There’s a difference from the wealthy and the rich. Wealthy have intelligently earnt and respect money. The rich have gotten through illegal means - gambling, tax evasion, fraud etc. That’s why it’s coined ‘the filthy rich.’ Society would be shocked just ‘who’ governs the whole drug trade and it’s not as obvious as the mafia or triads. The truth behind the illegalization of marijuana goes back to Du Pont. Bangladesh were to manufacture underwear in hemp. Du Pont so threatened by this, through his USA government contacts had the countries crop removed and hemp ruled as illegal. Yet hemp is not marijuana. The truth behind the manufacture, transportation and dealership of drugs is immense. Try naming a house that is drug free - either recreational or bigpharma. It’s big boys business.

They are a group of over-rated, over-paid, over-exposed NRL players. Recently the Sunshine Coast Queensland hosted the “AUSSIES”, Surf Life Saving Australia National Championships.Some 6,000 Volunteer Surf Life Savers from all over Australia, over 8 days of exciting competition. There were a lot of Winners. The Sunday Mail gave a quarter page mention to two of the events the day after it finished. Surely this was a Good News event rather than a story about a group of losers... WHY do so many Bicycle riders around Noosa persist in wearing all dark clothing on black bikes with black helmets.? It is very difficult to see them on Eumundi-Noosa Road or Eenie Creek Road early in the morning when the sun is low and shadows are across the road. I would suggest, for their own safety and the safety of vehicle drivers, they should be obliged to wear hi-vis clothing and have bright flashing tail lights on their bikes. I also notice riders on black, rented electric bikes. Many of these riders are inexperienced and are wearing black clothing.I suggest the Company renting these Electric Bicycles,be obliged to supply Hi-Vis Bibs which must be worn while on the bikes, and also fit the bikes with bright flashing tail lights. WHY do so many joggers using Noosa Pa-

rade break the law by running on the road, many times on the wrong side, and again many times in dark clothing. Very hard to see them.. The law states that pedestrians may only use the road when there is no footpath available. There are footpaths on both sides of Noosa Parade. I don`t know what to do about the Broncos, maybe follow the Melbourne Storm, they spend a lot of time in Queensland.. Maybe hope a new Fashion trend may encourage bicycle riders and joggers to wear bright colours... after all Noosa is number 1 and a Bright Place... Best Wishes to All Noosa Today Readers..

Problems Of Politics One of the more perplexing conventions of modern living... It is rude to discuss politics in a social setting. Just like other people I do find politics an intrusion and a vibe killer (of course this disruptive and divisive nature is designed to be thus). But seemingly unlike others I realise politics for all its unsavoriness is something that seriously effects and can in fact rule a person or families, or community’s entire existence. In that respect it must be discussed.

It must be analysed. And hopefully in the long run it can be banished from existence!Despite what some folk say there are commonalities to human life on Earth that cut through all political persuasions. This has been obvious to people with a shred of grey matter for a long time. Now forgive me for being political but one side of politics is an exercise is personal vanity, self-worship, the practice of wilful ignorance and more tellingly an outright creation of fictitious, odious malarkey. It has no vision, no plans for the children of life and steeps itself in a nightmare of pugnacious primitivism.On that note the NSW government is presiding over the extinction of the koala. The National Party should be named the Mad Max party. If they hold sway for much longer the Earth will be dead ... and we’ll watch the movies for a more detailed outcome. Dylan White, Doonan

Time for tourism change There’s always two sides to every story, and only one side was featured in Noosa Today, 11 june. In recent years Tourism Noosa has been operating without meaningful council input and without residents having a say in how the money might be spent in their best interests, not just what suits the industry. Now is the time to let Tourism Noosa become self-sufficient financially, like other industry bodies. Since council now considers tourism and economic development core business, they have proposed that they be funded by general rates that would be applied only to those properties that are currently paying the Tourism and Economic Levy. This is a necessary change to the transparency and protection of how Noosa Council accounts for ratepayers’ Tourism Levy funds, and if they are being used in the best interest of tourism and the economy, businesses and community in Noosa. It provides council with the necessary

power to decide the best way funds are spent on promoting the tourism industry. Times are changing, top-heavy tourism bodies are being replaced by more nimble media consultants which don’t have the inbuilt inefficiencies of a cumbersome, publicly funded entity such as Tourism Noosa. Council will now be able to make tourism in Noosa more on the terms that suit the Shire, and can call tenders for tourism marketing services that meet these aims. Plus, council is committed to providing high-quality tourism infrastructure, and this is at a substantial extra cost to ratepayers. Put simply, residents and ratepayers are going without essential infrastructure at the expense of an industry which is not pulling its weight financially. The Noosa community requires complete transparency and answers on how tourism is managed in the future: Can council provide the exact breakdown of the total funds being provided to tourism

in Noosa, and how they plan to source that funding? Since tourism is a core responsibility, when will specific tourism infrastructure appear in the accounts so that the true extent of council’s spending on tourism is evident? Noosa Council should make a public commitment to reduce funding to Tourism Noosa over the next five years with the aim that it become fully self-sufficient by then. Noosa Council needs to audit the impact from tourism on our economy and support alternative industries that don’t have the same impact on resident amenity. Tourism Noosa is essentially asking that it continue as a monopoly without the checks and balances that ensure that the visitor and resident experience can co-exist. After 20 years it’s time for a change. Rod Ritchie President Cooroy Area Residents Association

Postcode 4569 Cooran leads race to zero emissions Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) has been tracking how different postcode localities are moving towards the goal of zero community emissions for Noosa by 2026, and this week we focus on the village of Cooran which makes up postcode 4569. The name Cooran is derived from the Kabi Kabi word meaning “tall” or “high up” and is also a name they give to the Moreton Bay Ash tree. ZEN met up with Avid Marshall, president of the Cooran Hall Committee, to find out more about the town. Avid told us the hall is the oldest in the Noosa Shire, being built in 1906, with the first meeting of the Noosa Council being held there in 1910. Whilst the official name is the Cooran Memorial School of Arts, Avid likes to refer to it as “School of Hearts”. He says that best describes the hall being the vibrant hub of the eclectic, inclusive community, featuring live music and theatre events, private functions, workshops, classes, community gatherings and more. Avid’s particularly passionate about the Cooran Acoustic Nights, which are held every six weeks, and have been running continuously

for 32 years, apart from a COVID enforced break last year. “It’s an institution, a supportive environment where we have a range of performers, from seasoned professionals all the way through to people who are getting up on stage for the first time.” Avid’s also proud of the hall’s solar system and energy efficiency improvements. The grant-funded solar system has been running for 10 years and they’ve never paid an electricity bill since, even though they now have air conditioning. All the lighting’s been switched to LED, and Avid’s pride and joy is the recently installed state of the art LED stage lighting. We also met with the folks from Cooran Earth Rights who are dedicated to protecting the local environment. Their crowning achievement has been the extinction of the coal and gas exploration lease following their amazing door-to-door survey, which found 98 per cent of locals wanted Cooran to be free from coal and gas field exploration. Noosa Council followed up with a similar declaration for the shire, and with local member Sandy Bolton’s advocacy, the State Government decided not to renew the exploration permit.

The group’s still active, last meeting chatting about the proposed bike path to Pomona, quarry traffic, green thumbs, community groups, plans to grow and networking within the community. Spokesperson Ann Gardiner proudly told us, “Cooran is currently generating 46 per cent of its electricity from renewables. 56 per cent of homes have rooftop solar and 42 per cent of businesses. This is reducing our CO2 emissions and making Cooran a cleaner and green-

er place to live. Living in one of the sunniest parts of the world it makes sense to generate as much solar power as we can. It saves the consumer money and saves the planet emissions. Well done Cooran - if we can keep up the steady pace of solar installations we will be on track to be Zero Community Emissions by 2026.” Fellow Cooran Earth Rights member and local resident, June Norman, is equally passionate, telling us, “I installed solar on my home nearly two years ago. Whilst it has reduced my power bill significantly, my motivation is to reduce my carbon footprint so that I lessen my great grandchildren’s adverse experience of climate change. By my calculations the solar installation will pay for itself within four years. I’m very proud that Cooran is leading the Noosa region with the uptake of renewable energy.” Use your favourite search engine to find more about Cooran Acoustic Nights, the Cooran Hall and Cooran Earth Rights.

Cohen live By Jim Fagan “So come my friends be not afraid, we are so lightly here, It is in love that we are made, in love we disappear.” These words from Leonard Cohen’s song “Boogie Street” will have special significance for Noosa entertainer Jonathan Anstock when he presents his fourth hugely successful tribute to the singer-songwriter at Noosa Arts Theatre on June 25 and 26. He told Noosa Today he had experienced at first hand “the love that is provided at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice when visiting a Noosa Chorale colleague there and that is one reason why I’m donating proceeds of this concert to it and its nurses and volunteers. “Also, my wife Belinda has been volunteering at KRCH for many years, having been influenced by family members who have volunteered, and still do, at other hospices. “From an early age she has experienced a number of deaths in her family and so personally appreciates the love and care received by guests at their ‘home away from home.’” Jonathan’s personal cabaret-style tribute to the Canadian singer-songwriter, who died four

years ago. has already played to packed houses at Pomona, Nambour and Coolum Beach. “I got the idea while singing with Noosa Chorale backing singers in “A Migrant’s Son” at a Noosa Alive event in 2019. It’s the story of a Greek immigrant family and it instantly appealed to me as a theme for the Leonard Cohen story. “Michaela Burger wrote and performed “A Migrant’s Son” and the emotion in her performance seemed to say the same things in Cohen’s songs-- yearning, longing, the search for love and spiritual truth.” Guitar player Jonathan is a popular entertainer in the Noosa cafe and restaurant scene. He sings bass with Noosa Chorale and helping him sustain the character of Leonard Cohen at Noosa Arts Theatre will be Chorale singers Sherelle Scott and Marianne Johnson, choir keyboard accompanist Janet Brewer and her husband Warren Brewer (bass guitar). “The Spirit of Leonard Cohen show”, Friday June 25, 7pm and Saturday June 26, 7pm at Noosa Arts Theatre. Tickets are $30 ($25 concession) Bookings via Noosa Arts Theatre. More information, inquire@leonardcohenspirit.com

Still upbeat from his gold medal Olympic success with Noosa Chorale, Sunshine Coast music director and orchestra conductor Adrian King is presenting another hugely entertaining programme. Calling it the “The Power of Two” he has combined the Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra and the talent-filled Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra to create what he believes is the largest assembly of musicians ever to have played on the Sunshine Coast. In fact, to house the concert on Sunday, July 25, the organisers have had to search for an extra large venue--St Andrew’s Anglican College in Peregian Springs, whose hall can fit 2500 people In all, there will be 130 musicians and conductor Adrian predicts the sound will be “awe inspiring.” Among the selections in the programme is a medley of the timeless tunes from Les Miserables, the musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel of the same name. As well, there is an arrangement from the soundtrack of the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Harry Gregson-Williams composed the soundtrack, which was released in 2005 by Walt Disney Records. The equally famous Procession of the Nobles from Rimsky-Korsakov’s half opera, half ballet Mlada, first produced in 1892, is also there. The music bursts with life with a rousing brass flourish and followed by noble processional music. Experience the sound on Sunday, July 25, 3pm at St Andrew’s Anglican College in Peregian Springs.

Stage ready for Matilda A Noosa school is now just weeks away from showcasing the outstanding talents of their awesome actors, dynamic dancers, and sensational singers in their latest musical. This follows the disappointing postponement of the highly anticipated Noosa District SHS production of Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical due to COVID last year. Rehearsals are hotting for the excited and proud cast and crew as they add the finishing touches needed to make this production Noosa High’s biggest and best yet. The Roald Dahl children’s classic tell the story of Matilda, a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other’s lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognise but also appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however - the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace! Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination. Performances will be held at the Noosa District State High School Hall at the Cooroy Cam-

WHAT’S ON

July at Pomona Gallery Colourful artists and exciting exhibitions can be seen this July at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery. In the Carriage Room, Glen Buckley, presents his exhibition Draw The Line. His new exhibition stems from his love of graphic art and artists such as M C Escher, Gustav Klimt and Aubrey Beardsley. Glen said, “I am fascinated by the flow and curve of line where movement is seemingly random yet designed. The work finished yet ever evolving.“ In this art selection, imaginary and abstract elements are combined to create distinct graphic groupings. Draw the Line exhibition is in the Carriage Room 3 July to 5 August. The artist will be in attendance at the gallery every Wednesday between 1pm and 4pm or by appointment.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Nostalgic night at Bert’s Trevor Pepys reviews Bertoni’s Pizza and Pasta Way back in the mists of time, when the T of Thomas Street was an outpost of empire between the lonely river and the barren wastelands of the emerging Noosa Waters estate, Trev labored daily in an upstairs office above an Italian restaurant called Roberto’s. Now Roberto was a fake Italian chef, but a damn fine one. (He was actually Rob Davidson, brother of our local MP, the estimable Davo, and the family hailed from the Murray, not the Arno.) And as Trev and his colleagues toiled away on a local rag of an earlier time, the smells from the kitchen would waft through our louvred windows, and like the pied piper, lure us down the stairs and into a long and liquid lunch. This became a tri-weekly, if not daily indulgence, mostly paid for in advertising. Just as Trev’s waistline was reaching Abbotonian proportions, Rob shot through, taking Roberto and those sensational smells with him. So ended a short but memorable era in the annals of local publishing. The stylish little building, designed by Paul Harbour, is little changed, although it now resides in the middle of a metropolis. And for the last several years it has been home to Bertoni’s Pizza and Pasta, which is also in Maroochydore, which might explain why Trev had never darkened its door until recently, when craving a classic margarita at The Mexican Joint and finding it shut, his fired up nostrils suddenly picked up on the aromas of an Italian kitchen, just across the road. Just like in the good old days, the smells drew us in, which was just as well for Bertoni (Could his real name be Ro-bert?) because the place was otherwise empty. We were three, the missus and Trev having been joined for the evening’s festivities by a distant relative, possibly a daughter. A round of the garlic, cheese and rocket pizza ($12) got us started alongside a bottle of Mister Fox Cabernet Merlot ($30), a no-nonsense drop at a price that put Trev in a good mood for a change. We each opted for a selection from the pasta menu, planning to share, although the distant relative has always been a bit covetous. Trev ordered the chilli chorizo fettucine ($25), the missus the Mediterranean penne ($25) and the relative chose mussel-lini spaghetti ($28). As it turned out, a lot of sharing was done since no one seemed to want to eat what they ordered. Trev’s fettucine was your common or garden plate of pasta with feta, red wine vinegar and Napoli sauce thrown liberally over it, and tasy salami, chilli and olives being the saving grace. The Mediterranean penne looked the goods, but didn’t quite live up to its potential. Ancho-

Bertoni’s.

The Mussel-lini.

The Mediterranean.

vy, red onion, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, capers, chilli and garlic oil is a pretty enticing combo, but maybe not enough anchovy this time. The cleverest thing about the Mussel-lini

turned out to be its name. Mussels, anchovy, cherry tomatoes, chilli and garlic oil – pretty basic and quite well done but not exactly exciting. The verdict: It was great to go down memory lane with Roberto, but, to be honest, Bertoni

couldn’t match him. That said, it’s a nice room for a winter’s night, the service was good and the pasta helped soak up the excellent Merlot. Bertoni’s Pizza and Pasta, 12 Thomas Street, Noosaville. Phone 54424444.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Winter weather is here Finally the weather winter is known for showed up this weekend. With calmer seas, westerly winds and low 20 degree daytime temps this is fishing at its best! Offshore conditions allowed anglers to head both far and wide and with the tuna and mackerel still hanging around it was on for most. The tides were less strong during the day with the new moon on Thursday. Offshore anglers headed to Sunshine Reef, North Reef and up toward Teewah to chase the longies. The main species from North included bigger snapper than previous weeks. These fish are taking dropped bait on Black Magic Paternoster rigs and soft plastics like the bigger Nemesis from Berkley on 6/0 hooks. When working soft plastics try starting with 25-30lb fluorocarbon leader to give the lure the best action. Check out the Shimano Ocea for a slighter softer less springy material. Other fish from out wider included tuskies, pearlies and sweetlip. Mid-water there are cobia and these fish often get hunted by sharks, especially when high on the surface. Be sure to get these fish in fast or it could just be a head. Sunshine has good sweetlip, tuna and the odd coral trout. These fish can be found around pinnacles and ledges but running heavy leaders like Black Magic fluorocarbon in 60lb is a must to cope with the reef. In close always have a gang hooked floater out as bigger snapper and midwater cobia and Spanish will take these. Remember to always have a small 20 gram slug ready to cast as the tuna have come back in and there is nothing better than being prepared. Try longer 20lb leaders if the fish are line shy and remember always go upwind and drift back toward them. Surf fishing should also fire up around the moon with the drop in temps many jewie anglers are on the prowl. Tailor fishing has yet to fully kick off but they are showing up sporadically. Super clean pilchards on Tru-turn gangs is the go and if your baits get a little soft then break out the bait buddy. The river has seen some changes with tailor coming into the estuary in low light periods and with the bigger tides next week should see bait getting pushed into the river. There is a lot of bait offshore and the spring tides will see many fish crossing the bar in search of a feed. Now is the time to throw small poppers and stickbaits especially around Woods Bay, Munna Point and Noosa Sound. Come in and check out our range of estuary specific tackle and lures. The flathead, bream and whiting are on the move with medium sized flatties holding around the mouth and current lines. The Frying Pan, now broken through will see trevally alongside the whiting and bream which normally hold in good numbers here. During the tide change it can be a great idea to fish the run off flats areas as flatties will lay in wait.

Kiah Pita caught this trevally and tailor while fishing the Woods Bays with his father Dorian. Lastly the freshwater is a bit quieter but with a rise in daytime and evening temps we should see the fish feeding a bit harder. After the moon often fishing will go through a lull so expect next week to fire up a bit more. As always, run sounders and use side scan mode on bigger waterways like Borumba Dam. Jigs and spinnerbaits trolled slowly like the Hot Bite Spectre assist work very well on deeply schooled fish. As always ensure your SIPS permit is up to date and remove any weed on trailers when leaving Lake Macdonald. Now for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Newcomer is a winner Three weeks ago Steven Burr wasn’t even a member of Noosa Springs. Today’s he’s club champion, outlasting a host of hopefuls over four gruelling rounds of strokeplay. He shot rounds of 78, 86, 82 and 78 over the past two weekends – not particularly impressive figures for a man who’s used to breaking par as often as not, but good enough to do the job on a tough course. Steven is an example of a growing trend sweeping Australian business in these strange pandemic-influenced days. A prominent figure in the specialist equipment finance industry for the past two decades, Steven discovered last year that he could service his clients just as well from his home office as from his company’s St Kilda Road headquarters in Melbourne. So he and his wife fled Victoria just in time to avoid last year’s long lockdown, quarantined with their two young kids in Caloundra for a fortnight, then moved in with Steven’s parents at Peregian Springs until they decided where they wanted to live. The choice was Noosa, and last month the Burr family settled into their new Noosa Heads home. A few days later Steven joined Noosa Springs, and then teed up for the first round of the club championships. “We’d regularly visited my parents and we loved the Sunshine Coast,” Steven said. “So we thought ‘why not move there now while we can?’ Life’s too short to waste any time.” He still flies to Melbourne every few weeks for meetings, but the rest of the time he works from home, establishing a work routine that allows him to spend more time with his family, and enjoy the benefits of living in Noosa – like playing golf at Noosa Springs. Steven took up the game at 16 and began taking golf seriously when he was about 18, joining Eastwood Golf Club in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. As his game progressed he transferred his membership to Huntingdale, a quality course on Melbourne’s famous sand belt, which hosted the Australian Masters for many years. He remains a member of that club, where in 2017 he won the Huntingdale club championship. “I was playing a lot better then,” said Steven, who owned a plus-one handicap before he joined Noosa Springs. Curiously, he began the four-round club championship on a handicap of one but, by the time he’d completed his fourth round on Sunday, it had crept out to three. “This is a challenging course,” he said. “I’ve played most of the sand belt courses in Melbourne – Huntingdale, Royal Melbourne, Metropolitan and the like, and Noosa Springs is as tough as any of them. “If you’re just a little bit off with your game, you’ll be found out,” he said. “Your ball will be in a hazard, and the greens are very tricky.” Steven went shot for shot in the final round with Dino Degotardi, and eventually prevailed by two strokes. “We both lost balls and couldn’t get anything going,” he said. “It was pretty crazy.” In the women’s club championship, outstanding junior Sunday Moore (85, 73, 81, 81) led throughout to beat Tracey Carter (86, 83, 75, 82) by six strokes. Vesna’s now a fan of Noosa Brisbane’s Vesna McLean didn’t think much of the Sunshine Coast before last week. A Brisbane resident for 20 years, the former Sydneysider considered our region, in fact, to be a retirement centre – too dull and quiet for her taste. That view changed significantly when she stayed with friends at Sunshine Beach while she was playing in the Sunshine Coast Winter Classic last week. “I loved it,” she enthused. “What wonderful restaurants you have in Noosa, and what fasci-

Short game in focus TAKE THE TIP By Hamish Robertson Only have a small amount of time to practise during the week? If this is the case and you want to know what to practise, I would strongly suggest your short game from 15m to 35m. Practise with 1-3 balls only, putt out if possible and record your attempts and how many times you fail to get down in three shots. This will make you focus and have accurate data to go on. Taking three shots to get each ball into the hole is the skill you want to achieve. The reason why this 15-35m zone is so important is because statistics prove that a golfer will first start to lose simple shots from the 15m distance because the first shot is simply not placed in a good position. Research Dave Pelz, Phil Mickelson’s short game coach, if you want to learn more.

Winners are grinners – (from left) Richard Robinson, Vesna McLean and Chris Brown, who took the trophies at this year’s Sunshine Coast Winter Classic. nating people. I’ll be back for sure.” The fact Vesna scored a thrilling one-stroke win in the ladies section of the Classic might have influenced her thinking. But, whatever, she’s already told organisers she’ll be lining up to defend her title next year. Vesna, an Indooroopilly member, had scores of 37, 35, 34 and 30 stableford points to hold off a late-charging Dawn Lake (32, 34, 28, 41), of Redland Bay. More than 120 golfers – most of them from Queensland, but a sprinkling from other states – played rounds at Maroochy River, Peregian, Noosa Springs and Twin Waters, and marvelled at the quality of the region’s courses. Coolangatta-Tweed Heads golfer Richard Robinson won the men’s division of the Classic – defending the title he won when the Classic was held for the first time last year. He had rounds of 31, 34, 38 and 36 points for a five stroke victory. Fellow CoolangattaTweed Heads member Chris Brown was the Division 2 champion. Noosa Springs’ general manager Mark Brady, one of the organisers of the Classic, said next year’s event would be bigger and better, with COVID-19 restrictions almost certain to be eased and more interstate and international visitors likely to compete.Noosa Springs’ girls make finals Though they sat out the final round at Maroochy River on Sunday, Noosa Springs’ allgirl team of sisters Sunday and Coco Moore and Jasmine Lena have secured a place in the semi-finals of this year’s zone junior pennants competition. Despite having a bye, the girls had accumulated enough points to earn a shot at taking down the unbeaten Maroochy River 2 team in Sunday’s semi-final at Peregian. Three wins from four matches left their Noosa Springs 1 team in second place in the competition’s Blue conference. Coco Moore and Jasmine Lena have been named finalists for the Junior Pennant Player of the Year award. Sunday’s semi-final is scheduled for 7.30am, and visitors are welcome to go along and give the girls their support.

Sunshine Coast hockey club hitting bigger The Sunshine Coast Hockey Association will be scooping at an international level with a new world-class field. The field is now available after Sunshine Coast Council and the Queensland Government completed a major $489,000 upgrade. In November last year, the existing turf was pulled up at the Ballinger Road, Buderim clubhouse to make way for the installation of stateof-the-art synthetic turf. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said projects like this allowed our rising stars to access the very best of facilities. “It’s great to see a place where our up and coming hockey players and elite athletes can play on top quality fields,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Having sporting facilities like these in place affords opportunities for more people to participate in their chosen sport as well as improving our capacity to attract high calibre sporting events to our region.” Divisional Councillor Ted Hungerford couldn’t agree more and said the facility would support and service the entire Sunshine Coast community and beyond. “This field will provide benefits to the Sunshine Coast community and to teams from Caboolture through to Gympie,” Cr Hungerford said. “It’s an outstanding place to play. Who knows - we could be harbouring the next Olympic competitors right here. “Hockey is a sport that is played by a broad cross section of our community with both male and female participation, along with all ages from as young as five through to 80 and older.” Sunshine Coast Hockey Association President Warren Flower said the new surface was

opportunity to play on the same surface being used at the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games. “What a great way to commence our 2021 season with a state-of-the-art turf and brand new underlay to play on,” Mr Brennan said. “The new surface allows our members to experience the exact same surface that will be used at the Olympics later this year. “All of our players who have been fortunate enough to play on the new surface have been amazed at the quality.” The Sunshine Coast Hockey Association funded $39,000 towards the cost of the project.

Another win for Pirates On Saturday afternoon at Pirates Park, their A grade Division 1 Rugby League team, the Noosa Pirates, made it two wins in a row, when the defeated Nambour 36-12.Prior to this win they beat competition leaders Kawana, 6-4 in a very tough game. Before a good size crowd of supporters, this win will certainly fuel the fire for a possible grand final finish. Judging by their overall performance, it would have to be rated a possibility. First points came from a try by Dan Robinson converted by Seaton Reid, which gave the Pirates a 6-0 lead. Noosa then, playing good fast open football, made several good sweeping runs, but with some good cover defence by Nambour’s’ forwards, they were kept at bay. However, two quick tries just three minutes apart, saw the Pirates in front by 18-0. Keeping up the pressure the Pirates went into the half time break with a 26-0 lead, resulting from a penalty and a converted try. Noosa dominance in the first half, came as a result of some very fast play the ball, followed by good fast feeds from the dummy halves, with Jacob Spark in particular: this gave support runners room to move. A solid game from the halves, with Seaton Reid, being outstanding in both attack and defence, was a major factor. Just minutes into the second half, Nambour’s No 6 Dylan McGrath, caught the Pirates napping and a try between the posts, which was converted, resulted in a score of 26-6 Pirates: however, in the second half the pace from both sides dropped off considerably. Nambour was unlucky, when on two occasions, good attacking runs from both wingers fell just short. Had it not been for some worrying stand- up defence from the Nambour centres, the final score of 36-12 would have been wider. The main curtain raiser, saw Nambour claim a win in a very see -sawing game 2218.With Nambour leading 16-6 at half time, Noosa hit back scoring next to the post and with the try being converted, score stood at 1612 Nambour: but minutes later Noosa scored again making it 18-16 Noosa. However, with just minutes to go Nambour hit back with a converted try making the final score in this exciting game 22-18 Nambour. In the U/18s game Noosa played good football to defeat Nambour 48-8,and in the ladies’, it was a 32-10 for Noosa. The club extended they’re thanks to Cooroy Supa IGA, for Sponsoring, the entire Saturday Game Day, and Always Cool Air Conditioning as Sponsors of the A Grade: also, all who helped make it a great family day of football. A major highlight occurred at half time in the senior game, when, to the delight of the crowd, the Pirates Little Legends 6 and 7year old’s ran on to the small field for their game. For Noosa Pirates, Saturday was definitely one of the best: not only did their win make it two in a row, but sitting on the reserve bench waiting to be the first on, was an 18 yr. old Noosa High, school boy named Heath Robinson. For this young man it was his big day: after starting his career as a U/8 Pirates Junior he was about to play his first game A grade: a shining example of what is being achieved by the Noosa Pirates Development Program. After school, you can find this tall rangy teenage second rower, working at Davo’s North Shore Bait and Tackle Shop. A young athlete with his feet firmly on the ground: we wish him well in the seasons ahead. Over at Dolphin Park, it was also a home game for the Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club, as they played host to the visiting University team. Their program of three games ,the ladies, U/18s and the As, was a bit disrupted when the U/18, was cancelled because of a minor incident regarding the Covid regulations. This was indeed a bit sad: but a big well done to the rugby people for it shows that they are doing the right thing, regarding current health regulations. Well done to those involved. For the ladies, their game, according to a flyer released by club President Donald McKill, was a one- sided affair. As a result of some out-

With captain Tess Evans leading the forwards and Vice-Captain, Naomi Tomlinson feeding the back line they were just too strong. However, the spirited University ladies never gave up the fight. The A grade turned out to be a much tighter affair with both teams playing some expansive football: however, Noosa’s performance saw them leading 14-7 half- time. This resulted from tries by Jock Hanson and Brandon Meyhew and supported by brother Jordan, who converted both. The second half, saw Noosa extend their lead with three quick tries’, one of which came from some great rugby from by Brendon Meyhew: a move that was supported by some outstanding ball handling skills by former Wallaby Rod Davis. This gave Noosa a 31-10 lead which gave the local supporters the feeling that the game was theirs. But Uni hit back with three quick trie’s of their own, giving Noosa a reduced lead of just 31-28: with two minutes to go and Uni needing 5 points to win. But it just wasn’t to be. From a great game of Rugby, Noosa’s young gun, Harry Langbridge, emerged as the winner of the Little Sister Man of the Match. This win sees Noosa still at the top of the competition ladder. Next week, Noosa travels to Brisbane to play Wynnum Bugs: a must win game for the Ray White Noosa Dolphins. Last Saturday, was also a very busy day for members of the Sunshine Coast Martial Arts: commonly referred to as Karate Noosa. During the course of the morning, five people were graded for their Black Belt. The results of these gradings are fully recorded and sent to the World Shotokan Karate Federation in Japan for endorsement The exam for these grades, is conducted over a period of approximately two hours, with heavy emphasis on technique and mental attitude.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

A treaty for all surfers? Surf journo Sean Doherty, a former Tracks editor and now the owner/editor of Surfing World and chairman of the Surfrider Foundation, is fast developing into the conscience of Australian surfing. A guy who writes with a light touch yet takes you deep into the issues, Seano tells it like it is, whether it’s equal purses for women, the oil wars or the black/white cultural divide. And so it was when surfer Jack Lewis sent me a link to Seano’s latest on Surfline early on Tuesday morning. I was halfway through a Brine column about something completely different, but I thought that this was so relevant to us right now, that it needed further airing. Doherty’s article, “What are we gonna do about it?”, came in the wake of the recent World Surf League season-closing contest on Rottnest Island, and referenced the role played in it by Whadjuck Nyoongar elder and academic Lenny Collard, who is also a fine local surfer. As soon as I began reading it, I understood why Jack Lewis, who has played a significant role in introducing the Kabi Kabi youth from Cherbourg to the pleasures of surfing, had brought it to my attention. Elsewhere in today’s paper, Kabi spokesperson Brian Warner’s brief but groundbreaking speech about truth telling, made in Hastings Street the other night, is quoted. Brian didn’t hold back, and in Seano’s article, nor does Uncle Lenny. As a guest on the global WSL broadcast, Lenny explained, “in between (descriptions of) backhand rotors and rock ‘n’ roll floaters, the island’s dark colonial past as an Indigenous prison during the Frontier Wars. Uncle Lenny’s words carried a powerful weight of history. He described what happened on the island as ‘dark deeds on a sunny land’. For the usually sugary WSL broadcast it was uncharted territory.” Doherty continued: “He saved his best line for last. ‘Someone asked me, do you want the WSL to come back?’ Lenny paused for dramatic effect before answering, ‘I thought… nah, probably not.’ Lenny immediately achieved cult status.” Doherty goes on to explain that Wadjemup, the Indigenous name for Rottnest, “is the final resting place of 373 Indigenous patriots; Nyoongar, Njamatji and Wongai men from all over the west, brought to the island on the chain as prisoners between 1838 and 1904. Lenny describes Wadjemup today as ‘a conflicted space’ as the true history of the island becomes more widely acknowledged. ‘But the reality is, it’s a bloody holiday island where people go out to get full of swill and have a good time. We can tell the truth (until) the cows come home, but what’s after that? I’m saying, okay, boys, you’ve already heard the yarn once. Now, what are we gonna do about it?’” Doherty writes: “And this is where the second part of Lenny’s plan comes in. ‘We want to bring crew together, we want a treaty settlement among surfers.’ As both a Nyoongar elder and a surfing elder, Lenny has a foot in both camps and is aiming to bring them together to create a national Aboriginal and Islander surfing association. The idea is that the association would help create cultural engagement and dialogue between surfing groups – national, state, local, recreational – and traditional owners all over Australia.” It’s a brave and worthwhile idea. As Sean Doherty concludes: “While that kind of engagement is already taking root in some places, Lenny wants something a little deeper. ‘If you’re gonna run something at Bells on Wathaurong country or on Wadjemup, or wherever it is, no more turning up … and saying, can you do a dance for us? Can you put a bit of white paint on me nose? Nah, let’s go back to the start. We wanna be involved in the planning phase right through, so if you want to deal with storytelling or culturally appropriate dialogues or truth telling, we can deal with that.’” LOCK UP YOUR GRANDMA Or your grandpa, for that matter, because in 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 June, 2021

But it brings a lot of old mates (and rivals) together in a setting that evokes the club comps of yesteryear when our spring was still tightly sprung and surfing was young. Of course, the peer judging system, in which competitors get to decide the points value of

their rivals’ performances, sometimes leads to a bit of turbulence around the camp, but not since David “Mexican” Sumpter came last in his heat and paraded around the tents in his Speedos while berating officials, has there been a sight so offensive that people had to leave the beach. (I have a picture somewhere, but I can’t find it. Sorry, Mex.) Look out for the Wrecks comp this weekend, hopefully with finals on Sunday at the point!

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Drawing on experience By Julian Pitts The Mischief Hair Noosa Tigers played Redcliffe at Rococo Oval on Saturday, in a game where the Tigers focussed on some previous learnings. In season 2021, the Tigers have dedicated their time to skill improvements and “footy IQ”. Effort and intent are always there with this group of girls, but coach Graham Burgen says “learning and focusing on numbering off and covering exits around the stoppage must be a priority, as we strive for improvement. Our defensive work rate was also something that we will continue to work on. The game was played predominantly in our front half, so it was difficult to assess how successful some of our key areas were.” Throughout the game, the Tigers set up well behind the ball, with Maddie Trompf instructing and intercepting well and Ruby Hamilton’s run bouncing us off half back. Up forward Shauna Kelly led the way with speed and manic attack on the footy, and youngster Chloe Gallio just keeps improving. Sian Murray got to great spots in the ruck and apart from some wayward kicking at goal the Noosa Tigers effort was huge. This group of girls have a great chance to improve and become a great team, with dedication and commitment to training and work ethic the key, said Coach Burgen. They are at home again this Saturday (June 19) at Rococo, against Sandgate at 2:00pm. Get down to support our girls! With the Senior Men, Reserves and Colts heading to Chelmer Oval to take on Sherwood this Saturday, I think it’s the perfect time to remind all the Tiger faithful of our 50-year cel-

ebrations on Saturday 26th June. Starting midday at the Noosa Tigers clubrooms, we invite all who have been involved with our great club over half a century. We are the only Senior and Junior Football club on the Sunshine Coast that has made it to 50 years, and as co-club founder Len Daddow puts it “I have always believed we as a club have batted well above our weight”. We have a massive day planned, with our Men’s teams up against Gold Coast heavyweights Labrador on Rococo Oval. There will be complimentary finger food, live music and the Heads of Noosa team pouring tap beer. A special memorabilia wall with historical club images will be on showcase, plus the best Tiger teams of each decade will be unveiled. Names such as Bones Murray and Buster “Bunney” Fox surely certainties for the 70s whilst Sorrell, Townsend and youngster Chapple will be in the mix for the 80s team. This writer saw plenty of the 90s and I found Aaron ‘AJ’ Jaques to be peerless in that era. Ford, Batty, the Hunt brothers, Pollock, Horwood and Panemberg should pick themselves. The early 2000s involved the strong Pineapple Hotel Cup, with names like Langan, Hicks, Duke, Isles and Mathews sure to be around the mark. The 2010s onwards was a very successful era for the club twice winning back-to-back flags. Fierce skipper and dual premiership coach Adam Bovalino will be an automatic pick on the half back flank, whilst names like Brain, Breuwer, Trompf and Brewster will be mentioned. We look forward to seeing lots of Tigers faithful there on the day, it will be a fantastic celebration of 50 (plus 1) years! Go Tigers

Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate said that after about two months of no FaceTime inspections, she had done three last week. This was in addition to internet bidders at a Sunshine Beach auction held on Saturday. “Many Melbournians were just sitting around on the websites and inquiring,” Rebekah said. “There have been lots of phone calls and emails.” Rebekah is taking two Noosa Heads properties to auction this month and said the campaigns for both were going well. A five-bedroom, four-bathroom, four-car house with pool at 51 The Quarterdeck is set for auction on Saturday, June 26, at 11am. Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 6 Wyandra St, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Wednesday, June 30, at 12pm. 240057 Then on Wednesday, June 30, a threebedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 6 Wyandra St will go to the market at 12pm. “There is a huge demand for central Noosa Heads family homes. “Quarterdeck is a near-new designer home with all the bells and whistles, leaving nothing to want for the busy family that values proximity and oversized living and playing areas. “Wyandra is also attracting investors and downsizers.” SUNSHINE DELIGHT The auction this Saturday at 9am of 36 Enterprise St, Sunshine Beach, is sure to attract attention. Rebekah Offermann and Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate have been getting strong interest from far and wide for the six-bedroom, three-bathroom house with sweeping coastal outlook. “The consistent feedback is about the jaw-dropping views,” Rebekah said. “With 685sq m of living, the house is offering a lot to a lot of people. “We have been really happy with the open homes and the response to the campaign. “As well as locals, we have Brisbane interest and from interstate. “They have been driving up from

Brisbane, and those from New South Wales have been staying around for the auction. “Locals have been waiting for something in there to come up. “There’s simply nothing like living at Sunshine Beach. “It’s been confirmed by latest data from the REA Group as the second top luxury suburb in Australia.” The property has 270-degree grandstand views from three levels, stretching from Noosa National Park, past the white-sand of Sunshine Beach in front, then to Point Cartwright, Mooloolaba and beyond. FOMO FERVOUR BUILDS Noosa is continually touted as the hottest housing market in the state and for good reason. Last weekend’s overall result was further testimony, and with 14 of the 15 bidders registered pre-auction for the Lauren Chen and Luke Chen-listed, two-bedroom, twobathroom, stand-alone duplex 1/3 Ann St, Noosaville, it was also a clear case of FOMO - fear of missing out. More than 70 interested people, mainly locals, gathered in Ann Street while hopeful investors and residents from interstate had their phones firmly gripped as bidding quickly passed the reserve.

A five-bedroom, four-bathroom, four-car house with pool at 51 The Quarterdeck, Noosa Heads, is set for auction on Saturday, June 26, at 11am. 240057 a successful phone bidder, who will be relocating from regional New South Wales. With FaceTime the logical option for two potential Melbourne buyers to inspect the Rebekah Offermann and Eric Seetoo-listed 25 Adams St, Sunshine Beach, serious interest from other states and Brisbane, a crowd of over 40, plus five registered bidders, it was destined to be an exciting auction. The property sold for $5.15m. Three of the six Tom Offermann Real Estate auctions scheduled were sold prior. The Rebekah Offermann-listed 14 Stevens St, Sunshine Beach, was sold before the start of the advertising campaign; buyers came from Sydney and snapped up Nick Hunter’s listing of 51 Tristania St Marcus Beach; and Chris Miller’s listing of 21 Coco Bay Resort, 287291 Weyba Rd, Noosaville, was a record price for the complex. The neighbouring north-facing Chaplin Park with its Noosa River foreshore, was a fitting backdrop for the late afternoon auction of Eric Seetoo’s listing of 128 and 130 Gympie Tce, Noosaville. The two sites zoned for duplex developments and/or single/double residences, were passed in at $6m. Negotiations continued post auction with several interested parties.

PRIZED OPPORTUNITY ON NOOSA SOUND IT’S time to say goodbye. Built in 1984, it was Wesley Court’s first home, and whilst the neat-as-a-pin bungalow with great bones remains intact and in its original condition, innumerable precious family memories go with the vendor. Whether an arch-defender of contemporaneity, or a traditionalist with a penchant to landbank or extend by retaining part of the footprint, there’s much for the opportunity-seeker to contemplate about this Noosa Sound property, just a five-minute walk to Noosa Main Beach. The solid virtues of the brick and tile structure built on a concrete slab play to its strengths in two main directions, north and south. A lemon tree and stands of strelitzias adorn the front garden with its carport and large covered patio. On the water side, a substantial lush lawn is framed by a 20 metre revetment wall with glistening saltwater lapping the white-sand foreshore on a secluded part of the Noosa Sound canal development. Take the steps to swim in the safe shallows or launch the kayak or paddle board to

check out the meandering long and wide waterways which form part of the artery of the Noosa River. Boat owners will be thrilled to know a jetty at the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort and Hastings Street is minutes away and onwards the river wends its way past classy restaurants on Noosa Sound and, ultimately, the Noosa Everglades. “Surrounded by much-admired and sought-after multi-million-dollar contemporary residences, the location on tightly-held Noosa Sound is second-tonone,” explain Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Rebekah Offermann, who are taking the property to auction on Friday 25 June 2021. “The investment future is secure when you buy a property in this exclusive precinct. It’s so close to the absolute best of Noosa’s natural as well as outstanding attractions such as sophisticated Hastings Street, north-facing Main Beach on Laguna Bay, plus surf breaks and walking trails in the Noosa National Park.” ●

ON THE COVER

PRIZED LOCATION, VIEWS OVER NOOSA RIVER AND BEYOND WHAT is not to love about sun-splashed days in a striking Trevor Reitsma-designed showstopper with unerring class, which commands an enviable vantage point, and views that arguably surpass all others on Noosa Hill. Opening the statement door into the foyer and the open-plan over-size living spaces, is akin to taking a seat with the audience, in a beautiful theatre to watch the light and sun move across views over the Noosa River, Lake Weyba, its waterways, Mt Coolum, Mt Tinbeerwah and Mt Cooroy, throughout the day. Of course, an evening ritual is clutching a glass of bubbles and seeing the glorious sunset from the wide undercover deck and the glistening pool, which have an unequivocal connection to indoors. With so much drama outside, it is fitting the interior is considered and calm, yet it exudes function and flair with lashings of natural stone and timber. It whispers rather than shouts ultra-luxe. Central to the living area space is a fireplace and making quite the statement is a bespoke black, glass and mirror-backed wall cabinet and bar with integrated Vintec fridges. Complementing the ‘look’ is the very generous monochrome kitchen and scullery with black and timber cabinetry, white stone tops including the island bench, glass splashback with garden view, plus every accoutrement and top-end appliance on the entertainer’s wish list. Also on the entry level, is an office with custom-built double desk and storage, a designated quiet space with floor-to-ceiling shelving for displays and books, also a guest bedroom with built-in robe, ensuite and 2-way powder room. Upstairs is a serious bliss zone. The king master bedroom has banks of plantation shutters, a fashionista-style walk-in robe and a fully tiled ensuite with double shower, separate toilet, freestanding bathtub, and for those who like a fresh start to a day, there is an alfresco shower (with verdant view) on the balcony. Three additional bedrooms also have carpet and plantation shutters, built-in robes, one has an ensuite and two share a 2-way bathroom with double basin plus separate shower and toilet. On the lower level when it comes to the ultimate recreational zone, it is here, and best described as a super man-cave.

Personable, stylish and smart

Extremely good

Fun and Professional

Theodora sold us our house on the river and it was not a particularly simple sale. She is an excellent communicator and kept us well informed throughout the process and anticipated the issue that arose. This all resulted in a relatively seamless process and a smooth transaction. We were very happy with the outcome, which I think resulted in a ‘win-win’ all round. I would strongly recommend Theodora for either a buyer or a seller of properties in the Noosa and Hinterland region. G.B & L.B, BRISBANE

So glad I called Theodora for an initial appraisal. When engaged she worked tirelessly to obtain an amazing result, way above expectations, and went above and beyond organising everything when I had to go to hospital. Cannot recommend her highly enough. L. L, NOOSAVILLE

Theodora is a no BS Agent and brings in the fun aspect of selling which can be stressful, I have bought and sold with Theodora and each time is a good experience, such good local knowledge of not only the area but has good communication relationships with all her clients present and past. Thank you. M.B. NOOSAVILLE

Vendor Recommended Best Negotiator, Dynamic Sales Agent Most people are missing out if they have not given Theodora a chance to sell their property. She is by far in my experience, a superwoman, who naturally is gifted with excellent communication skills, goes above and beyond the call of duty working tirelessly to achieve the best result. In fact, she is generous beyond belief with her time, energy, patience, advice and knowledge. Relocating to Melbourne, we still keep in touch. It is about honest relationships with Theodora – a vibrant breath of fresh air in this real estate game. She has now sold two of my properties. H.N, SUNSHINE BEACH

Vendor Recommended Vendor Recommended Above and beyond the call of duty!! Our situation was complex. The was a court order. Multiple parties with different agendas. These waters demanded careful navigation to bring about the outcome needed. Theodora & David’s teamwork to achieve a fantastic result for all, was like watching a precision engineered machine, never faltering, no matter how much pressure was exerted. Their class act is the epitome of professionalism in a volatile & competitive industry. If you seek estate agents with impeccable credentials, utmost honesty, integrity & years of experience then Garwoods are a safe & sound choice for your major life change or investment portfolio. On top of all these attributes, Theodora & David are genuine people, exhibiting heart & soul in there every step forward. I highly recommend Garwoods and know, should you engage them for your realty needs, you will not only be a satisfied client but you will likely recommend them to your friends also, knowing all will be well. Thank you so much Theodora and David.. You guys really are the best. K.G. NOOSAVILLE

Theodora was fantastic and a pleasure to deal with Thanks to Theodora’s experience and knowledge of the local market and conditions, I achieved a record price for the sale of My unit, Outstanding result! T .M. NOOSAVILLE

Vendor Recommended Knowledgeable, reliable & trustworthy Having purchased the property through Theodora, she has kept in touch over the years about market conditions and was always happy to give advice and listened to me and what my expectations were which is a great quality. She has always been pleasant and has become more of a friend and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her if you’re either selling or buying. J R. NOOSAVILLE

Buyer Recommended Goes above and beyond!

Agent extraordinaire Professional, Caring, Informative and Kind

Theodora combines a friendly, easy going approach while being a master negotiator. Both her and David bring a level of experience and professionalism that makes them a stand out agency, always with their clients best interest in mind. M D.

We would highly recommend Theodora, she is unlike any agent we have ever met and we have met a few. The words above say it all and she has all of that and more. M. P. and J.W,

Theodora has provided not only superb and professional advice on helping me with my sale but it is coupled with care, empathy and humour such that the stress has been removed from what can be a very stressful situation. Anyone who accesses Theodora’s expertise is fortunate indeed. L F, SUNRISE BEACH.
