Housing report 12497020-DL22-21

An independent report into Noosa’s housing situation will be commissioned by Noosa Council. The request for a “detailed, independent, data-driven analysis on potential short, medium and long term solutions” to an identified “housing crisis” in Noosa, in part due to an increased migration since Covid of almost 50 per cent, won unanimous support at last Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting. The move followed Monday meeting’s vote to write to the state government for permission to make a Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) to make short-term accom-

modation an inconsistent use in medium and high density residential zones. On Monday Cr Amelia Lorentson said the reason behind the request was that STAs were depleting the housing supply for permanent residents and posing a “significant risk of serious adverse economic and social conditions in Noosa Shire”. On Thursday Mayor Clare Stewart said it was fundamental to obtain empirical data from industry, experts and government partners to find what was really going on in the housing market. Where is the evidence STA has any impact

on housing, what are the impacts to visitors, tourism, she said. “We can’t assume it if we don’t know,” she said. “This is no time to make any policy on the run. “We can’t fix this crisis on our own, it needs a lot more money from state and federal governments, but we are facing a housing emergency that is having an impact on the economy, on our businesses and affecting the liveability of our communities.” Cr Brian Stockwell said while the respon-

sibility of housing rested with higher levels of government, council’s involvement in community housing was new. Cr Stewart acknowledged it was not council’s space but, in addition to advocating for more investment from state and federal governments, it was a space they needed to be in. Council has been investigating options for community and emergency housing on community land to target the most affected demographics such as hospitality, health and other essential workers.

Festival fun is back and let’s enjoy it while we can. But be mindful Covid is ever a possibility. Last week a vaccinated woman who has tested positive for Covid flew from Melbourne to Brisbane and visited sites in Noosa on Thursday 15 July at Feet First Footwear from 10.45-11.10am and Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club from 11.26am-noon. She also visited shops and eateries in Buderim, Montville, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba before boarding a bus the next day from Maroochydore to Landsborough and train to Brisbane This Sunday the King of the Mountain race up Mt Cooroora will go ahead in Pomona after missing last year due to Covid. The event, which is celebrating its 42nd year, will be slightly scaled back this year so some of the rides and markets that usually accompany the event will be missing, but the prince and princess races and main King and Queen races will be on. Also on in the hinterland town on the weekend will be an antique and collectibles fair at the memorial hall, car and vintage engine display and art exhibitions. The Noosa Alive festival continues for the next couple of days, having brought back an energy and vibrancy to Noosa that has been largely absent over the past 16 months. Over the weekend the Heart of Gold Film festival, Cirque Bon Bon, David Williamson’s play Up for Grabs, comedian Akmal and High Tea with Booff are sure to entertain audiences at the festival. There are more events to come, particularly for cyclists over the next month with the Noosa Enduro off-road cycling festival, Noosa Strade Bianche and Noosa Classic cycle.

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien will be wearing a neck brace for six weeks after an accident left him with a fractured skull and vertebra.

Multiple crashes

O’Brien crashes By Abbey Cannan Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien was rushed to hospital on Saturday after being injured in motorbike crash at Lakeside Raceway. Mr O’Brien’s scheduled media events for Gympie on Monday were postponed following the accident which left him with a fractured

skull and vertebra. While being assessed and treated in a Brisbane hospital, Llew shared on Facebook that he would be wearing a neck brace for the next six weeks. “Had a good day on the bikes with William and Michael at Lakeside Raceway yesterday,“ he wrote.

A man has been charged with multiple offences after he allegedly used a weapon to seriously assault a police officer in Minyama on 15 July Police conducting proactive road patrols intercepted a white Mitsubishi SUV on Nicklin Way at about 8pm. After speaking with the driver, further inquiries led to the passenger of the car, a 36-year-old man, attempting to run from the scene. Police alleged that when apprehended moments later, the man used a weapon to shock the police officer, a 35-year-old male senior constable. The man was taken into custody and charged with two counts of possess dangerous drugs and one count each of serious assault police, unlawful possession of weapons, obstruct police, possession of a knife in a public place and possess utensils. He was refused bail and was due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 16 July. The officer was not seriously injured in the incident.

“Well, mine wasn’t a full day after I overdid a section of the track and went down. Bike’s fixable.“ Mr O’Brien said he had a “bit of bruising, strains and soft tissue injuries, a fractured skull and vertebra“. “Other than that all good and should be out of hospital soon,“ he wrote.

Two people were taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in stable conditions after a car crashed into a ditch on Mckinnon Drive at 2.33pm on 18 July. In a separate incident, a car crashed into a tree on Beach Road at 2.06pm on 17 July. The person was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition. And in yet another accident, paramedics took a person to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition after a twovehicle crash on Emu Mountain Arterial Road and Peregian Springs Drive at 8.35am on 16 July.

Fines issued for hooning behaviour at Teewah beach sulting in additional infringements notices being issued. Police action from the weekend included NTAs issued for drink driving, dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving without due care and attention and driving unlicensed. Police also issued TINs for not wearing a seatbelt, speeding and for the driver not having proper control of vehicle. In addition, police were advised of three vehicle rollovers which thankfully did not result in any injures. Gympie Patrol Inspector Pat Swindells said police continue to urge anyone who may have witnessed dangerous hooning behaviour or had vision of any incidents to come forward. “Hooning on beaches not only puts the occupants of the vehicle at risk of serious injury, but also the lives of innocent campers,” Inspector Swindells said. “Families have the right to enjoy our local beaches without fear of anti-social behaviour or vehicles being driven at unnecessary speeds. “Police will continue to be out in force over coming weekends targeting hooning and will not hesitate to take necessary action against repeat offenders.”

Police have handed out fines following complaints of hooning at Teewah beach over the weekend.

Police responded to further complaints of hooning at Teewah beach over the weekend, including a makeshift drag strip which had been set up at low tide for cars to conduct burn outs. Officers attending on Saturday morning found witches’ hats and glow sticks which formed a course for motorists to speed through, along with alcohol cans and fireworks littered across the beach. Police returned to Teewah on Saturday night and issued Notices to Appear (NTAs) for drink driving, driving without due care and attention, and speeding offences. On Sunday a 20-year-old male driver and his female passenger were seen by police sitting on the window sills of either side of their vehicle as it travelled along Rainbow Beach. When questioned, the pair advised police they had been trying to take a “good photo”. The man was issued with an NTA for dangerous operation of a vehicle, and the 22-yearold passenger was also handed a Traffic Infringement Notice (TIN) for failing to wear a seatbelt. Officers received further complaints from people at campsites nearby who had camera vision of motorists conducting burnouts, re-

STAs – time to draw a line Earlier this year, from January to March 2021, I strenuously argued for councillors and staff to change their policies towards the expansion of short term accommodation (STAs) into Noosa’s medium and high density neighbourhoods. I stated in a speech to council: “The reality is, as we continue to approve STAs in medium density, the amenity will be lost, precedents set, and the expectation of a predominantly residential neighbourhood will be turned to a tourist precinct. This change is consistent and inevitable with staff’s interpretation of the town plan as supporting STAs.” I lost the council vote 6-1 back then and I thought I had no influence on staff. Since I made that speech, and subsequently posted it on social media, council planning staff have received information relating to the extent and impact of STAs on beach and riverside communities, and have found that 23 per cent of residences in these areas have become STAs. It is clear that this is exacerbating our workforce housing crisis. The planning staff in council have shifted their position and have determined that most coastal medium density and high density areas have passed the “tipping point” and are no longer predominantly residential neighbourhoods. They have also found that amenity in these neighbourhoods had deteriorated. In their view, the town plan no longer supports STAs in these areas, which is the exact position I was advocating from January to March. The town plan did not change, the residential environment changed and staff have responded. The next question is whether the councillors will support staff’s changed position.

Councillor Tom Wegener. Picture: ROB MACCOLL Two weeks ago, four months after I presented my arguments, four new STA applications came before council, three of these in medium density and one in high density. This time staff recommended refusing all the applications. The one application for an STA in Peregian, on the west side of David Low Way, was refused by six councillors and the staff recommendation was supported. My arguments presented here are in regard to the other three applications, one in Noosaville and two in Sunshine Beach. When councillors began to discuss the rec-

ommended refusals, the issue of precedence set by the January to March 2021 decisions became the centre of attention. Councillors were concerned that refusals of STA applications would be subject to legal action because they were inconsistent with the decisions that they had made four months earlier. They felt that making such a broad change in their thinking would lead to confusion and legal battles with those desiring to make future applications for STAs. Instead of refusing the applications, Mayor Stewart and Cr Lorentson brought a motion to create a study that will give an overview of the housing situation in Noosa and make recommendations. If this study recommends limiting STAs in Noosa, then the councillors will act. This would be the line in the sand, stating clearly, and based on evidence, that we need to address the housing and workforce crisis. I argued that a study was fine, but staff had received sufficient evidence to change their position and, furthermore, we are faced with stories of housing and worker shortages every day. I argued that we have all the tools and evidence we need already and we must make hard decisions now. We cannot use this study to kick the can down the road. We have to do our job and refuse the applications. I argued that the line in the sand has to be drawn now. I offered the analogy that the ship Noosa is sailing out on the ocean watching a super tanker on the radar. We think we are going to miss the tanker, but then it changes direction and speeds up. It is obvious the situation has changed and we must change course. I also suggested that Noosa is like a restaurant which was very successful two years ago, but now we have added many tables and cut staff. Things

are not going to end well unless we manage the situation. It is our job to manage the shire. I also argued that precedence is not an issue because we are still supporting the town plan. The rules are the same, it is the residential environment that has changed. Some councillors responded to comments from the public that the council was “making policy on the run” and that the STA applicants and consultants were “laughing at us” because they believed they would easily win in a legal battle if we supported the staff recommendations. I responded that they are not laughing because they would win, but they would be laughing all the way to the bank because if we approve these applications, a precedent will be set based on the new residential environment, and we will then never win in court. We should be supporting the clear meaning and principles of the town plan by refusing the applications. This is far from making policy on the run. Five councillors voted to approve the applications for STAs in Noosaville and Sunshine Beach. Only Cr Frank Wilkie voted with me on refusing the applications. Sadly, my predictions from March have come true. There is little to prevent STAs from spreading into medium and high density for a long time, or until the proposed study confirms what we already know - that amenity is deteriorating, these are no longer predominantly residential neighbourhoods, and we have a housing and workforce crisis. Despite my difference of opinion, I support the council’s decision and look forward to the findings of the report as well as a lively debate on the STA local laws.

Independent study sought into Noosa’s housing

“It’s important to have the empirical research and conduct further consultation with key stakeholders before making any decisions,” she said. Cr Stewart said all councillors acknowl-

edged the current housing crisis was the worst in Noosa’s history. “Apart from the already commissioned research being done, this report will provide us with a plan, identify potential solutions and

give us the data and possible interim policy responses to address the shortage of housing availability in the short, medium and long term.” Councillors have asked for the report to include a myriad of options in the hope it will provide a strategic process and necessary tools to help Council make informed future decisions. “This is a global pandemic issue, this is unheralded, and it needs a committed tripartisan approach,” Cr Stewart said. “We need to advocate for more state and federal government investment into social housing and we need to look at what planning opportunities are available to enhance the level of housing availability in the shire.”

From page 1 Cr Stewart said the independent report would investigate whether to supplement the ongoing research into this issue ahead of mid-term planning scheme amendments by also engaging an independent consultant to conduct an extensive 360 review of Noosa’s housing situation, collate existing data and conduct further analysis. The report would consider whether adopting a Temporary Local Planning Instrument could help facilitate secondary dwelling units in appropriate locations, she said. It will also investigate Ministerial condition requirements for the Noosa Plan 2020 relating to short term accommodation.

Singing for the glossies By Margaret Maccoll A Glossy Black Cockatoo music video is the latest tool to be used in the fight by conservationists to save the habitat that has been approved by Noosa Council for a Uniting Church aged care home and retirement village to house 260 people at Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach. Professional songstress Mish Shell offered her expertise to help Sunshine Beach students and parents create the Glossy Song which they plan to record at a Belli Park studio offered by recording artist Ravind Sangha before it is uploaded to Youtube and social media platforms. “I was asked to come along. It’s good to be a part of it, to contribute in any way I can to make this world a better place,“ said Mish who was assisted by co-writer Mark Gerrett. Beginning with a melody, Mish encouraged students and their parents to contribute their ideas and within a couple of hours a song had been created. “I’m of the strong belief anyone can write a song,“ she said. Last Sunday a group gathered at Grasstree Court to rehearse before a recording session next week. “The rehearsal was a great way for us to get ready for the day of recording as it’s a big thing, especially for someone who hasn’t had any experience in a studio,“ Mish said. “It’s also a great opportunity for kids and parents alike to do something that’s fun, but also good for humanity and Mother Earth.“ Led by 10-year-old wildlife warrior Spencer Hitchen and his mother Maxine, the Glossy Black Sunrise team has worked fervently to retain the Sunrise Beach habitat, containing 104 mature glossy feed trees and is regularly visited by about 30 of the rare birds, from clearing to develop a 102-bed residential aged care home and retirement village. Having secured more than 51,000 signatures on a petition to support the retention of the habitat, Spencer and Maxine two months ago attended Noosa Council’s Ordinary Meeting to stand up for the rights of the glossies and voice their concerns at the efficacy of a proposed “offset site” planted with trees that will take years to mature and may not produce trees suitable to the glossies that are very selective feeders. They also requested Council consider a land swap with the Uniting Church between the proposed development site and a suitable Council-owned site. Mayor Clare Stewart responded to them by saying council would be willing to enter into a discussion with Uniting Church Australia about a land swap if the church wished to discuss such a proposal. Council confirmed their planning officers recently met with Blue Care to discuss the community’s suggestion of a potential land swap. “Council officers told Blue Care that there was limited land owned by council that may be suitable for the development and free of environmental constraints, however, if they were genuinely interested, council would undertake further work to identify if a suitable site existed,“ council confirmed in a statement.

Musician Mish Shell with Spencer Hitchen and Huon Bohm. “Blue Care Group general manager for property advised council that a land swap was not practical given the significant investment into the current design and approvals.” Uniting Care property group manager Lavinia Dack said the precinct design had been adapted to retain more than 20 per cent of site vegetation identified in their Ecological Management Plan which was available on the Noosa Council website. She said the development would be staged to meet the community’s request, resulting in a reduction in the extent of vegetation clearing at one point in time, giving the trees they are replanting at a ratio of 8:1 on the nearby three hectare rehabilitation site at Girraween Nature Refuge more time to mature.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

“Clearing and construction of the residential aged care home on Lot 6 of 9 Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach will now occur before clearing of Lot 9 where the adjacent retirement village is destined to go.” Ms Dack said Blue Care was committing more than $500K towards land rehabilitation works on Noosa Shire Council-owned land at the nearby Girraween Nature Refuge over the next five years to support habitat creation and carbon capture in Noosa Biosphere. More than four hectares of land surrounding the precinct site had been dedicated to conservation as part of the purchase process with Noosa Shire Council, providing valuable habitat connectivity to Girraween Nature Refuge, she said. Ms Dack said Blue Care has

been advised no glossy black cockatoo nesting trees were on the precinct site and a local cockatoo drinking site was also not on the precinct site. Maxine said Glossy Team Sunrise’s efforts had recently been recognised by international conservation group, the Jane Goodall Institute, which applauded their work to retain a habitat described as being of international significance. Maxine said she held concerns for the mental health and hopes for the future of the environment of the many children from the nearby schools who had come to know the site and its population of Glossy Black Cockatoos if the habitat was lost to development.

Noosa Jazz Club presents Jazz in the Woods.

Noosa Alive with festival By Margaret Maccoll The Noosa Jazz Club teamed up with Noosa Alive for the first time on Sunday presenting a Jazz in the Park event, filling the seats and spilling on to the parkland in Noosa Woods. Club president Richard Stevens said the best jazz players in Queensland came together to form the band. “Over the years we’ve gathered a lot of good musicians in Queensland,“ he said. Among the players were saxophonist Paul Williams who has played and recorded with many of Sydney’s top bands and trumpet player, vocalist and multi-recording artist Peter Uppman. Richard said a couple of players booked to

play from Sydney were forced to cancel due to the lockdown. He said Covid-19 had been a constant issue for the jazz scene with lockdowns across the country raising the ongoing potential of cancellations for performers and audience members and he hoped this year’s Noosa Jazz Party would run as planned from 2-5 September. Musician Dave Burrows said despite the restrictions, Queensland performers had been luckier than some across the country in being able to perform. “We’re fortunate to live in this part of the world,“ he said. Jazz in the Park was one of an array of events that kicked off the Noosa Alive Festival on its opening weekend with others including

the Starlight Opera, Queensland Ballet, Picnic in the Park and Seaside Vibes on Main Beach. Brilliant weather has enhanced the festival that has run like clockwork with a team of volunteers. The festival hosts a lineup of exciting events including a tribute to 50 years of playwright David Williamson’s career, High Tea with Booff and Cirque Bon-Bon. Sadly Covid-19 has claimed one performance temporarily with cabaret act Meow Meow in lockdown in Melbourne and ticket holders given the option of a refund, a swap to another act or to hold their tickets for a postponed performance on 8 September at The J Theatre.

Hungry Tinmug.

Bud wants out of Africa By Phil Jarratt “Our country is in a total shambles,” former Noosa chef and caterer Bud Higgins wrote to friends here last week. “South Africa has not seen this (kind of) total mayhem since freedom, and it’s scary indeed,” Bud wrote. “Supermarkets, businesses, even the blood bank has been looted, and the army has been deployed to help police diffuse the volatile situation.” We’ve all seen the alarming and tragic news footage of the Covid-inspired rioting in South Africa, but nothing brings the horror of it home like hearing from someone you know who is caught in the front lines. But the many people in Noosa who know Bud Higgins will know that the feisty, spirited and immensely capable businesswoman, who sold her Noosa Catering company in 2012 to return to her beloved Africa, is not one to duck a challenge. She is toughing it out at her Cape Town home for now, from which base almost a decade ago her life was transformed by the poverty she saw all around her. “Tell everyone I’m doing fine,” she cheerily reports to Noosa Today. “A bit like a 1950s Vauxhall, a few dents and dings along the way but still going strong!” Long-time Australian resident Bud arrived

in South Africa as a young bride in 1969, and her sons Shane and Callan were born in Cape Town during the early 1970s. During the most disturbing days of the apartheid regime she took the boys to be educated in Sydney and utilised her skills as a chef to open a restaurant in Mosman. In 1990 she moved to Noosa and created Noosa Catering, running weddings, parties, anything, with her capable team, for the next 22 years. Bud maintained her strong feelings for South Africa and there were many safari holidays in her other home while the boys were growing up, but Shane’s tragic death in 2006 made her begin to reassess her life. She says: “Sadly Shane, a pilot and father of three little girls, was killed in a helicopter crash while conducting a rural survey in NSW. In the wake of the tragedy, a few years on I sold Noosa Catering to head chef Matthew Conquest and moved back to Africa, to dwell in the shadow of the mountain under which my lost pilot had been born.” Newly-arrived and uncertain as to what the future held for her, Bud allowed her adopted South African family to drag her along to a fundraising event for AIDS victims. She recalls: “A famous broadcaster named Solly Philander was compere and pleaded with the audience for volunteers to help feed 2000

children on Christmas Day, so I joined a group of kind-hearted souls in an impoverished settlement and got to work. Having spent my entire working life preparing upmarket food, nothing prepared me for standing on the back of a truck stirring massive pots with paddles! Gone were the stuffed artichoke hearts and Vietnamese rice-paper rolls. “As is sadly typical in Africa, the hungry 2000 swelled to over 3000 and, in the absence of divine intervention, it was on my head to do a loaves and fishes with the food. The generous, but uninitiated food volunteers were busily piling the small bowls high, before I called out in my bossy Australian accent, ‘Half fill the bowls and we will feed them all!’ That day 3000 hungry kids went home to their inadequate shacks with full bellies and smiles. “I recognised Africa needed me, and that day Tinmugs Africa Trust was born.” Through Bud’s hard work and generous donations from friends and business associates in Australia, Tinmugs has since gone on to feed thousands of African kids and help them get an education, but early in the process, while feeding children at a shanty settlement known as Overcome Heights, Bud met a family who asked her to help them educate the eldest child, a beautiful eight-year-old girl named Kristy.

Says Bud: “I realised it would only work if I became legal guardian of the child and she moved into a safe suburb with me. I spoke to friends in Brisbane who enthusiastically agreed to contribute to her school expenses and to help move the family out of their shack into a small flat in a safer suburb where Kristy could visit them. Now she is 17 and in her second to last year at a good school. And she has visited Australia four times.” Success stories like Kristy’s inspire Bud to continue her work with Tinmugs, despite trying and dangerous times. But, at 72 she also has to be realistic about the dangers, which is why for the past several months she has been trying to organise a flight home to Australia. She has built up a strong support team at Tinmugs and can manage the administration from a safe distance where she can enjoy her six grandchildren. But hopes of a return any time soon were dashed earlier this month when the number of overseas arrivals was slashed. A November booking on Qantas now seems likely to be kicked into the middle of next year, or beyond. Locked away in a residential compound, unable to leave it while gangs prowl the streets, Bud remains optimistic, as is her wont. Let’s hope that this good and worthy woman is soon back in Noosa.

A 9677sq m beachfront estate at Noosa’s Castaways Beach has sold after 12 registered buyers battled it out at auction in April, when the property was passed in at $16 million. 244452

Castaways’ haven sells Tom Offermann and Cameron Urquhart of Tom Offermann Real Estate have announced the sale of a 9677sq m beachfront estate at Noosa’s Castaways Beach. The property at 2 David Low Way was auctioned in April, however, it fell short of the $20 million expectations. This was after 12 registered buyers battled it out to $16 million before being passed in. “The sellers had a higher regard for its value which has now been vindicated,’’ Tom Offermann said. “Post-auction, we continued to work with

those buyers and searched for new buyers. “In the finish, the successful buyers were the next generation of long-term clients who have bought and sold many times through our company over the past 30 years. “We are pleased for the sellers and very excited for the buyers. They have purchased a one-of-a-kind beachfront estate. “The day they first inspected it was during a torrential downpour and, despite the drenching, it was easy to tell from the smiles under their umbrellas that they could not

conceal their excitement. “It’s highly likely that no amount of money could buy this again in the future because these rare estates often become generational assets, treasured and kept in the one family.” The land was used by the developers of Sunrise Beach and Castaways Beach in the 1960s as their construction depot. The exposure to the beach is amazing. A normal beachfront block is about 16m wide. Agents think it’s great when they have one 20m wide to sell.

This is more than 10 times as wide, more than two football fields end to end, and it is just five kilometres from Hastings Street. “It is a secure haven, totally out-of-sight from neighbours and beach-walkers,’’ Mr Offermann said. “Yet from the grounds or interiors, the views would be intimate and unrivalled.’’ So what are the buyers’ plans? “I think it’s a matter of just watching the space to see what happens,’’ Mr Offermann concluded.

The Hotseat Phil Jarratt

A genial giant reflects Larry Sengstock, Noosa Council’s new Director for Infrastructure Services, has returned to the Noosa of his youth after a distinguished and storied career as a pro basketballer, Olympian, educator, sports administrator and marketer, and wizard of big ticket infrastructure. It’s an impressive CV and a big story about sport and life skills. In this, the first of a two-part Hotseat interview, PHIL JARRATT sat down with the former Brisbane Bullet and Boomers captain as the Tokyo Olympics got underway to discuss how sport can mould your life.

12505124-AV30-21

So this giant kid emerges in Maryborough in the late ‘60s and he’s good at swimming, surfing and basketball? Well, I was never a great surfer, and now I can’t do it much because of my banged-up shoulders and hips, but it’s something I really want to get back into. I was a swimmer firstly, and then basketball took over, but I’ve always had a love of the water. I was a good swimmer and every holidays I’d go down to Brisbane to train with [legendary swim coach] Harry Gallagher. Then when I started in basketball, I’d go to Melbourne to train with the squads down there. When I came through as a kid, it was right after the 1976 Montreal Olympics where Australia did nothing, and the edict went out in all sports to look for new talent. I was this six-foot, six-inch newcomer, a 16-year-old from Maryborough already playing in the national championships, so I was asked to try out for the Australian squad and became the youngest ever to play for the Boomers at 17. What do you put that rapid ascent down to?

12 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 July, 2021

Larry Sengstock. Right time, right place, and a great mentor in Ray Alloway, who was my teacher at primary school, a basketball nut way ahead of his time in terms of the fundamentals. He nurtured a group of us and we won the under 16s national championship for Queensland. You often find that’s the way it works in sport – one person will take charge and bring you along the way to success. Ray was that person for me. I vaguely remember hearing Maryborough

Picture: ROB MACCOLL mentioned as one of a very small number of towns that seem to breed champions. Yes, and what you’re thinking of is that at the time of the Sydney Olympics they established Walk of Fame parks in different towns. In Maryborough, David Tyler was a swimming hero and we all swam in the David Tyler Pool, but when I was captain of the Boomers, Maryborough could also claim the captain of the women’s hockey and the men’s hockey teams.

Not bad for a town of 20,000. Do you still have family connections in Maryborough? Not really. My parents moved to Noosa 40 years ago, and they’re still here in their 90s. I started surfing at Main Beach in 1970 when I was 10 when we used to holiday here, before Mum and Dad sold their business and moved here for good.

Your first Olympics was Moscow 1980, which seems to me to have some parallels with Tokyo 2020, in that there has been a tremendous amount of pressure on athletes to make personal decisions about whether to go. It was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan back then, it’s Covid now, but the pressure is much the same. Do you agree? Yes, I do. In 1980 the government of the day was putting pressure on athletes not to go, and the Tracey Wickhams of the world unfortunately decided not to go. But I think there was more pressure on the individual sports than there was on the teams. When we got to Moscow I remember coach Lindsay Gaze saying to the team, “This is the Olympic Games, of course we’re marching!” I was just an innocent young kid. (Laughs) Did the political pressure die away once the Games had begun? Absolutely. The US wasn’t there, of course, but there were plenty of good teams and we just wanted to do well, and we did. We were in the mix. Was it the next Games, LA, when the Boomers almost medalled? That was Seoul in ’88. We made the final four but then America lost to Russia and had to play off for bronze with us, and they got it. That was as close as I got to an Olympic medal. Going back to the pressure on athletes, we’ve seen two leading Australian players, Liz Cambage and Ben Simmons, bow out of the Olympics in the past few weeks, citing personal pressures. Is it harder on them than it was in your day? It’s a different kind of pressure. We were more contained in our own world, with no pressure from social media. We could get into our own space. Yes, there were pressures on us but nobody talked about it. Now people are always asking athletes if they’re feeling the pressure

and it becomes self-fulfilling. If you had still been running Basketball Australia, what would you have told Liz and Ben? I think they both had to make their own decisions. I know Lizzie and she’s a lovely person but she does get caught up in this stuff and influenced by it. Ben’s situation is more like that of [former NBA player] Andrew Bogut where tremendous amounts of money are involved and they have to look after their careers. I would have loved to see Ben go to the Games. It would have been good for him to loosen up a bit and hang out with Australian team-mates, which is quite different to the NBA. Is that the reason you didn’t play in the NBA? No, it was because I wasn’t good enough. (Laughs) The history tells me otherwise. Yeah, in those days it just wasn’t the done thing. Foreign players were rare on the NBA and you had to be exceptional to crack it. It wasn’t on my radar, although I had offers to go to college in the US. You had an illustrious playing career by anyone’s standards – four Olympics, five world championships, five NBL championships and much more. What stands out as the highlight? In my international career it was finally cracking it to top four at the Seoul Olympics. In Australia all five club championships were wonderful. It was at the time that basketball had just taken off, and we rode that wave, going from paying to train to getting paid to play in front of huge crowds. They were special times. You played for the Brisbane Bullets for several seasons but you probably spent more of your career in Victoria. Do you still consider yourself a Queenslander? That’s one of the reasons I’ve come back! I’d spent more than half my life in Victoria, but I’ve always been a Queenslander.

Georgia plays to outwit By Abbey Cannan A forensic psychologist from Noosa is using her profession to play the most mentally calculated game Australian Survivor has ever seen. Although Georgia Ray, 35, may seem like the girl-next-door, she’s spent years delving into the mindset of Australia’s most devious criminals and will use her razor-sharp judgement to profile her Tribe mates on the hit TV series. The mum-of-two grew up in Noosa and has been itching to get onto the series to test her skills. “I actually applied the traditional way a few years ago and the first time I was meant to go on Survivor, a week out from filming I broke my foot. So unfortunately that dream wasn’t realised and then I got another opportunity and I grabbed it with two hands,“ she said. “It’s the ultimate test and ultimate psychological game in my opinion and I really wanted to put everything I know as a psychologist into application in the most challenging way possible.“ Georgia, who has been a forensic psychologist for 13 years, said she had always been fascinated by human behaviour. “I’ve always been interested in how the mind works. especially deviant behaviour and understanding why criminals do what they do and why humans behave in certain ways,“ she said. “As a forensic psychologist, you’re trained in psychological profiling, and profiling involves understanding people’s personalities and traits and you use that to then predict their behaviour. So that came in handy quite a lot in the game of Survivor.“ She said the audience could expect to see her playing up her girl-next-door persona on the show. “I’m really taking the strategy to a level that is more psychological than probably anyone

The cast of Australian Survivor Brains V Brawn. has ever seen before.“ Given that it’s not a world she usually operates in, Georgia found her first time filming a television show very fascinating. “I found it really interesting how everything works behind the scenes of a really big and exciting TV show,“ she said. “I’ll be watching alongside the rest of the nation for the first time so I’m very nervous but excited. “It’s all positive in my eyes, whatever goes

down. You don’t go on the game of Survivor if you can’t handle the twists and turns of reality TV.“ Her two young children are just as excited to watch their mum on screen. “I grew up in Noosa, I went to school here at Good Shepherd and then I went to Sunshine Coast Grammar. I moved to Sydney for about 10 years and moved back with my children to have them go to school here,“ she said. “The last few weeks they’ve been asking ev-

ery single day, ’Is it on tonight?’ “I hope I represent Noosa well because I am a proud Noosa girl and I hope people enjoy watching the show.“ The season premiered on Sunday 18 July at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play on demand, where the two tribes began their war to settle the ageold question: brains or brawn? Watch Australian Survivor to see if Georgia will successfully outwit, outplay and outlast, to claim the title of sole survivor 2021.

Nervous smiles and anticipation before the challenging 26km hike.

Students from Good Shepherd enjoy a well-deserved breather on top of Noosa National Park.

Noosa students walk on Living on the Sunshine Coast, it is understandable that many students take for granted receiving a good education in a safe learning environment. When a group of Year 9 students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College learnt of the plight of children experiencing a very different childhood in Kenya, they wanted to make a difference. During Term 2, as part of the Rite Journey at Good Shepherd, the focus for the term was service with students looking at various charities and the impact they have on communities and individuals. Good Shepherd teacher Matt George said, “We felt it important to not just talk about the

benefits and great things others are doing but to act on it and do something that will benefit others.” “We chose to support the Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) which reaches out to people hurt by poverty, injustice and crisis. “Using the ALWS campaign platform Walk My Way, students raised money through sponsorship with every $26 enabling a refugee child who has escaped conflict at the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, get an education by supplying teachers, textbooks and tables.” While other students enjoyed a more relaxed end to the school term, this group of 30

students walked 26km, from the college campus in Noosaville, through to Castaways, along the beach up through the Noosa National park and eventually finishing at the Pirate Park on Gympie Terrace. Mr George spoke highly of the students. “The students did really well,” he said. “They promoted their hike which resulted in generous donations and raised awareness of the importance of education for children forced to flee to refugee camps. “These kids now understand that school helps children recover from trauma, make new friends, follow a routine, and learn.” Year 9 student Flynn Price said, “We’ve en-

joyed every minute of the journey and loved reflecting with friends along the way.” “It’s hard to imagine what those kids in Kenya have experienced and if we can make a small difference, then it was definitely worth the blisters and sore feet.” The students’ original fundraising target of $2000 was achieved quickly thanks to the generous support from the community. With a final total of close to $3500 being raised, these students were able to make a difference to the lives of less fortunate children on the other side of the globe.

in the hinterland, which received a $30,000 grant to upgrade its lighting. Club spokesperson Andrew Grennan said the grant was well timed. “With the current metal-halide lighting, our club was struggling to meet the requirements to host night games in Cooroy. This funding will enable us to continue playing competitive games at night and maintain a positive light reading that exceeds the standards set by our local and state governing body,” he said. “With the new lights being LED it will reduce our power consumption, as well as contributing towards a reduction in our carbon footprint. Requiring lower maintenance and infrequent replacement it will dramatically reduce yearly costs of running the facility. Along with Noosa Council, the club would also like to thank the Office of Liquor and Gaming as well as the hard work of our club committee over the last five to six years for making this project a reality. “The sports fields are used all year round as the cricket club takes over when the football season finishes, plus we play a summer soccer competition so the new lights will get lots of use.” This grant round will also help Noosa Rugby Club host a marquee sevens event in the competition’s inaugural year. “Noosa Rugby is delighted to receive support from Noosa Council that will see the club host the Queensland State 7s on November 13 and 14,” club president Donald Mckill said. Other grant recipients include the Tall Trees Art Exhibition in Cooran and the popular Noosa Strade Bianche Vintage Cycling Festival. Event spokeswoman Lee Newton welcomed the Strade Bianche funding. “It will mean we will have the capacity to have a greater number of community partnerships each year, with the long-term view to engaging as many small local groups as possible,” she said. The many groups that use the Lawson Shed at Pomona and District Community House can look forward to better acoustics with a grant set to provide new wall panels and curtains. Pomona and District Community House Coordinator Heather Manders said a wide range of groups would benefit from the improvements. “We have a lot of people who come along for our cuppa and conversation mornings at the shed where our volunteers provide tea, coffee and homemade morning tea. We typically get 15 to 20 people come along to have a chat at those events,” she said. “The shed is also used for art classes, French lessons, Rummikub, library story telling sessions, Pilates and our young men’s and young women’s groups on alternate fortnights, so it’s very well used.” Mayor Clare Stewart said council was pleased to boost community grants funding in this year’s budget. “Residents told us, during our budget consultation, they wanted more money for community initiatives, and council is pleased to deliver,” she said. Cr Joe Jurisevic said Noosa was home to more than 300 community groups that all contributed greatly to the shire’s social capital. “In this round there’s more than $10,000 for community events, just over $18,000 to answer community groups’ new equipment requests, $122,000 for infrastructure needs, and just under $10,000 for various other projects,” he said. “Council is delighted to be able to invest in our community organisations and the important work they do.” Cr Jurisevic said council’s grants team was on hand to offer community groups advice on eligibility criteria and the application process. “As well as the council community grants program, our staff can also provide details on a host of other external funding opportunities,” he said.

Noosa Masters enjoy triple treat in Bundy By Brian Hoepper The Rum City Masters swim meet in Bundaberg is always a treat. Each year in mid-winter, swimmers from around the state receive a typical country welcome from the host club. Last week, ‘Bundy’ proved to be a triple treat for the Noosa Masters team. The 10 members won eight individual medals and four relay medals. Noosa won the splendid shield for top points in a tight field of 17 clubs and four Noosa swimmers combined to break a state medley relay record held by arch-rivals Miami Masters since 2013. The relay triumph of Jacky Shields, Rob

Jolly, Jo Matthews and Brian Hoepper was matched by superb individual races by Anne Besser, Linda Hogg, Liqun Hussey, Wendy Ivanusec, Sam Penny and Ian Robinson. Rum City Masters turned on the country hospitality after the meet, serving a hearty dinner with celebratory drinks before the trophy and medal presentations. The Noosa team gathered the next morning for breakfast at a popular local cafe followed by the obligatory visit to the Bundaberg Rum distillery. Heading home to Noosa, everyone agreed that, once again, ‘Bundy’ was their favourite ‘away’ competition.

Satanists call for end to prayers Parliament, politicians, staff and members of the public gallery are asked to stand to recite the Lord’s Prayer at the opening of the day’s business,“ he said. “Our petition calls for the prayer to be replaced with a moment of silence for reflection or silent private prayer. “This House will soon consider a Religious Discrimination Bill. It would be hypocritical to consider that legislation while subjecting nonChristians to such a discriminatory practice,” the petition says.

“Large numbers of Australians are not Christian. Indeed, a growing section of society identifies as non-religious. For many of these people, having to stand for the recital of religious prayers is humiliating. “By continuing with this practice, our nation’s Parliament says to them that they are not welcome and they are second-class citizens. This is not good enough. Our parliament should be secular, welcoming and inclusive.” The petition can be found at bit. ly/3wHdUKI

Direct NZ flights begin Air New Zealand’s direct service between Sunshine Coast and Auckland began last week as part of the recommencement of quarantinefree trans-Tasman bubble arrangements between New Zealand and Queensland. The Auckland service was the first international commercial passenger flight to land on

Sunshine Coast Airport’s new runway since it opened last June. The arrival of the A320 aircraft also marked the start of a year-round service between Auckland and Sunshine Coast, thanks to the support of the Queensland Government’s Aviation Recovery Fund.

Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive Andrew Brodie said the year-round service and the reopening of the trans-Tasman bubble was tremendous news for the Sunshine Coast and the local tourism industry as well as the many friends and families who have been eagerly awaiting this news. “We are so excited to connect people across the ditch for the first time since October 2019 and to welcome our first international passenger flight since the runway opened 12 months ago,” he said. “New Zealand has traditionally been the largest source of international visitors to the Sunshine Coast, and the additional year-round flights will deliver an extra 14,000 seats to the route every year as well as a further $8 million boost to the local visitor economy. “It also gives Sunshine Coast residents, including the many Kiwis that call the region home, the chance to fly out of their local airport to Auckland and connect with other transTasman destinations such as Queenstown and Dunedin.” Air New Zealand’s chief customer and sales officer Leanne Geraghty said the service provided more opportunity for Queenslanders to discover New Zealand any time of the year. “We’re looking forward to welcoming Queenslanders to our shores to experience everything New Zealand has to offer - from our wonderful winter playground to the stunning wineries, there’s something for everyone,“ she said. “With our year-round direct service launch-

ing and good connections onto our domestic network means more opportunity for Queenslanders to discover New Zealand any time of the year.” Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the year-round service was an extension of the existing June-September seasonal services through to May 2022. Visit Sunshine Coast chief executive officer Matt Stoeckel said, prior to the pandemic, New Zealand was the Sunshine Coast’s number one international market with 84,000 annual visitors, 650,000 visitor nights, and an economic value of $110 million. “We know there is huge pent-up demand in New Zealand for international travel, and the expansion to year-round direct services to Sunshine Coast Airport will provide a massive boost for the Sunshine Coast tourism industry,” he said. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said the direct flights from Auckland to the Sunshine Coast provided a welcome opportunity to increase visitor nights and spend into Noosa. “The commitment from Air New Zealand to providing a year round service is fantastic news for our region,” she said. “New Zealand has always been a very important visitor mix to our tourism industry and the destination’s economy. Noosa operators are looking forward to welcoming back our fellow Kiwis, and sharing our beautiful sunny winter days, sparkling beaches and rolling green countryside”.

Championship deal set The Australian Surf Life Saving Championships have been secured for the Sunshine and Gold Coasts with a decade-long deal set to deliver more than $100 million for the State Government’s Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan. Tourism and Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said Tourism and Events Queensland had secured the agreement in partnership with Major Events Gold Coast (MEGC) and Sunshine Coast Council. “This is a significant deal for Queensland’s economic recovery and locks in eight Australian Surf Life Saving Championship events between 2023 and 2032,” he said. “Over the years, the championships - affectionately known simply as The Aussies - have become an iconic Queensland event, bringing more than 7000 competitors annually from more than 315 Australian clubs. This year, the Australian Championships were held on the Sunshine Coast, generating more than 78,000 visitor room nights, and $16 million for local businesses. “The experience on the Sunshine Coast this year demonstrates the value of this event to our visitor economy, particularly now the championships are locked in for Queensland over the next decade,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “The agreement with the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships is a clear vote of confidence in Queensland’s ability to host major events and our world-class visitor destinations on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Caloundra MP Jason Hunt said Australian Surf Life Saving Championships events from 2023 to 2032 would be shared between the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. “We saw how important this year’s Aussies were for the Sunshine Coast’s Economic Re-

covery Plan with $16 million added to our visitor economy,” Mr Hunt said. “I would like to think the Sunshine Coast will be a strong contender for the 2024 championships to mark the Alexandra Headland surf club’s centenary celebrations.” Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Ja-

mieson said he was delighted to have certainty that the national surf lifesaving championships would be returning to Sunshine Coast beaches again after outstanding events in 2016 and 2021. “Surf lifesaving is part of the DNA of the Sunshine Coast and we know our region, our clubs and our community welcome the pros-

pect of again hosting the national titles,” he said. Surf Life Saving Australia president John Baker said to be able to lock in eight editions of The Aussies, their membership would be looking forward to returning to the sunny beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast in Queensland again.

Enter the 2021 Sunshine Coast Business Awards With less than six weeks until entries close, the 2021 Sunshine Coast Business Awards are set to be another great celebration of business achievements across the region. Sunshine Coast Business Awards’ chairwoman Jennifer Swaine said everyone was really excited to have the Awards back for 2021 following one of the most challenging business years in living memory. Mrs Swaine while the applications process for the awards was something that took a little time, previous entrants had said the process was a great opportunity to step back from day-to-day operations and critically examine their own business. “We pride ourselves on the quality of the awards’ applications process - it’s not a popularity contest, but instead entrants are judged according to the criteria, by business experts, with finalists also participating in interviews,” Mrs Swaine said. “Already over 100 businesses had begun the application process with more than 90 attending information sessions to get tips direct from judges.

Sunshine Coast Business Awards head of judges Bruce Williams, 2019 winner Naomi Campbell from Concepts Lab, Awards chair Jennifer Swaine with sponsors LPE’s Damien Glanville and Sunshine Coast Council’s Mandy Day. “We still have three workshops left in the schedule including Wednesday 21st July from 5.30 to 7.30pm at LPE in Foundation

Place building in the new Maroochydore CBD; on Wednesday 28th July from 5.30 to 7.30pm at The J in Noosa and a Zoom Q&A

session on Tuesday 3rd August from 9am to 11am.” Judging chairman Bruce Williams said businesspeople who had been nominated, or were considering entering the awards, should not be daunted by the process. “In fact, we are hosting a series of information sessions across the Sunshine Coast and Noosa as well as online to give people an opportunity to find out more and ask questions,” Mr Williams said. Mrs Swaine said it wasn’t too late for new businesses to enter the awards. “Simply jump on the website, register and you can download the application. Then you can work through the questions and upload your application to complete your entry. Applications close on Friday 27 August at 5pm. To find and register for one of the information sessions, go to sunshinecoastbusinessawards.com.au/information-sessions To find out more about the awards, nominate a business or enter your own business visit sunshinecoastbusinessawards.com.au

OLYMPIC GAMES TOKYO 2020: OPENING CEREMONY SEVEN, 9pm

There’s no denying sport’s ability to transcend barriers and entertain. Tonight’s Opening Ceremony, from Tokyo’s National Stadium, promises to be a triumph of optimism and spectacle. The primetime Olympic broadcasting team includes Hamish McLachlan and Abbey Gelmi (right), along with veteran commentator Bruce McAvaney.

FRIDAY

BIRDMAN SBS WORLD MOVIES, 9.30pm

Washed-up actor Riggan (Michael Keaton, above) – famous for portraying comic book superhero “Birdman” – as he struggles to mount a Broadway play, is the subject of this black comedy. In the days leading up to opening night, he battles his ego as he tackles run-ins with his volatile leading man (Edward Norton), recently rehabbed daughter (Emma Stone), a grudge-carrying critic (Lindsay Duncan), amateur starlet (Naomi Watts), panicked producer (Zach Galiﬁanakis) and ex-wife (Amy Ryan).

FRIDAY

CONTROL ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

Photographer and music video director Anton Corbjin’s debut feature pays a fitting tribute to Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, whose personal, professional and romantic troubles led him to commit suicide at the age of 23. Corbjin, who worked with the Manchester band, steers clear of the flashy music biopic trend, using black and white footage to detail how young Curtis (Sam Riley, right) dreamt of becoming a star like his idols David Bowie and Iggy Pop, but was instead struck down by depression, epilepsy and grief. Torn between his wife Debbie (Samantha Morton) and girlfriend Annik (Alexandra Maria Lara), while grappling with medication side-effects and the physical toll of performing, this elegiac film offers an inside perspective into Curtis’ anguished spirit.

Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper, below) is down on his luck to say the least. After spending time in a mental health facility, losing his wife and his house, he’s living with his parents (Jacki Weaver and Robert De Niro) and trying to get his life back on track, all the while sharing his family’s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When he meets the equally messed up Tiﬀany (Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence), his clear plan to win back his wife gets complicated. To say this ﬁlm is a mere romantic comedy is to do it a great disservice. It is sweet, yes, but also moving, heartbreaking and with bitingly funny scenes. The topnotch cast make this a must-see movie.

Bradley Cooper stars in David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook.

GRANTS PROGRAM DELIVERS $162,000 BOOST More than 18 community groups, events and projects set to receive funding in Council’s latest round of Community Grants Council has answered more than 620 community grant requests since 2015, distributing more than $3.8 million to a wide range of not-for-profit organisations. The Community Project Grants program supports eligible events, building works, equipment and programs. There are also threeyear funding grants, such as the Signature Events Agreements

which support not-for-profit events like King of the Mountain festival. “We are grateful to have the funding from Noosa Council and we use that for infrastructure, sound and other key needs every year,” spokeswoman Heather Manders said. Council’s Community

Development Manager Alison Hamblin encouraged Noosa community organisations to contact Council for advice on a wide range of council and external grants. Eighteen recipients shared in more than $162,000 in the latest Community Project Grants round, among them Noosa Trailblazers Mountain Bike Club.

“By applying grant funds towards maintenance and improvement of the Wooroi mountain bike trail network, the Club is able to return the benefits these grants make possible directly back to the all trail users from the community,” spokesman Rick Tate said. The next Community Project Grant round opens for applications August 25.

EMBRACING CIRCULAR ECONOMY He added that it makes sense to keep products and materials as long as we can. “Not only does it benefit our local economy, but also helps build a stronger community. I base my business around the idea of a circular economy.” A new website is set to play a pivotal role in helping Noosa businesses to also divert waste product from landfill. The digital platform ASPIRE acts as a marketplace for business. It works on circular economy principles, connecting producers of waste with those who can reuse, repair, remake and recycle the products.

Noosa local Keith Hamlyn makes his business work for our environment. Keith owns Loop Oils, and with each step of his business process he teams up with local businesses to make a difference. “I sell my oils in recyclable steel containers and, after use, they go to recycling,” he said.

lockable tins which I use to collect the used oil in. “It’s stored in 1000 litre plastic containers from a local brewery and then sold for stock feed and biodiesel manufacture. “I then give the plastic containers to the Mary River Catchment Committee which they use as cane toad traps,” Keith shared.

Noosa Council’s Waste Education and Sustainability Officer, Emma Menzies, said Council had invested in a license to help local business to improve its recycling efforts. “Businesses can trade, exchange or sell unwanted waste with the ASPIRE program, reducing waste disposal costs and the amount of waste sent to landfill.” “Any business with less than 100 staff can register for free via council’s website,” she said.

IN BRIEF Show time! The 2021 Noosa Country Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, September 10 and 11. Friday September 10 is a public holiday for Noosa Shire

Strategy adopted More off-road paths and bike ways, more separated bike riding paths and better connections between paths and shops are the top three actions in the Noosa Cycling and Walking Strategy and Implementation Plan adopted by Council. The Plan is designed to get more people riding a bike and walking by making it so convenient and safe that it is the preferred mode of transport for our residents and visitors. Check out the full plan on Council’s website.

THE GOOD FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19 Helping local businesses navigate safety requirements Protecting the health of Noosa is a focus for Environmental Health Officer (EHO) Lorena Miralles. She’s part of Council’s fourmember EHO team that has played a pivotal role in guiding Noosa businesses through the pandemic. “The recent snap lockdown was challenging, but generally our community reacted well,” she said. EHOs visited over 90 businesses still trading, reinforcing the importance of the QR code and helping owners understand the rapidly changing requirements.

“Many appreciated our visits because it helped clear up some of the confusion,” Mark Borgert, Council’s Environmental Health Coordinator said. “Their knowledge and support have been invaluable,” said Noosa Boathouse owner Sarah Bradford. Council plays a vital role in reinforcing the constantly changing Queensland Government directives. “Our EHOs have done a wonderful job handling such a difficult period for business owners,” Mr Borgert said. With a decade of experience in

public health, dealing with a pandemic is uncharted territory for Lorena and the team. “It’s been a steep learning curve, marked by rapidly changing clusters and restrictions.”

TIME TO ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES Locals are being urged to get the COVID-19 vaccination at the Sunny Street clinic in Tewantin. Located at 10 Pelican Street, next to Australia Post. You can call 5313 7778 to have a chat and make an appointment. The clinic provides the AstraZeneca vaccine. Not only does the jab protect you and your family, but every test and jab by the clinic helps support Sunny Street. Sunny Street is a volunteer outreach clinic for people experiencing homelessness and have barriers accessing health care across Queensland.

NEWS

Local practice leads way A general practice in the Noosa hinterland is leading the way in a national trial of an innovative mental health service developed by the Black Dog Institute. StepCare is an online assessment tool which can help detect symptoms of depression, anxiety and risky drinking in patients visiting their GP, simply by answering a series of questions on a tablet as they wait for their appointment. Once the survey is completed, an assessment of their mental wellbeing is generated and securely sent to their GP’s clinical software. The results, along with personalised treatment options if needed, are already in front of the GP when the patient’s appointment begins. Cooroy Family Practice has screened 1000 patients using the tool since joining the trial in November 2019, more than any other clinic taking part across the country. Practice owner Vivianne Dawalibi said her staff’’s holistic approach to person-centred care has helped make their use of StepCare so successful.

Cooroy Family Practice has now screened more than 1,000 patients using the tool. Picture: BLACK DOG INSTITUTE “Our practice nurse started including the screening as ‘business as usual’ when conducting patients’ observations and other care plans, and our GPs were incredibly supportive

of the initiative,” Ms Dawalibi said. “They found that StepCare was an important step in initiating conversations about mental illness for those who otherwise would or could not disclose their concerns, including those at risk of suicide. “Now, for Cooroy Family Practice patients, talking about their mental health is just part of attending the surgery.” Five other local general practices have been part of the StepCare trial, which launched in 2017 and is supported with funding from Central Queensland, Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast PHN. The PHN’s senior manager Robb Major said there was strong evidence early identification of mental health challenges played a crucial role in early recovery. “Implementing opportunistic screening like this in general practice has shown to be an effective way of offering the right level of support at the right time,” Mr Major said. “We are pleased to fund an initiative that has made a difference to the mental wellbeing

of the local community. “It is great to see that the program has been so well received.” The Black Dog Institute’s Head of Implementation Practice Janey McGoldrick praised the team at Cooroy Family Practice and their proactive approach to screening for mental health. “Cooroy Family Practice has demonstrated a huge commitment to people in their local community, which has ensured many additional people can access support,” Ms McGoldrick said. “For every 16 patients who were offered StepCare screening [across Australia], the service identified one patient with undiagnosed mental health symptoms. “Overall, we have been finding that StepCare detected depression and/or anxiety in more than 40 per cent of patients who were screened at their general practice.” The StepCare trial will finish in September, with related findings to be published in 2022.

Can walking in water ease Parkinson’s symptoms? A new USC study by an exercise physiologist aims to discover the potential benefits of aquatic walking compared to land walking for people with early stage Parkinson’s Disease. Sarah Latif, a 2010 USC Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science graduate, is undertaking the Master’s research after 10 years working in her private practice across the Gympie region. “Parkinson’s is a neurological condition that’s becoming more common, and walking is recommended for patients,” she said. “However, there is a knowledge gap for

specific exercise measures and aquatic rehabilitation for non-motor symptoms such neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on changing body position). “This hypotension can cause dizziness, increased risk of falling, fatigue and neck/ shoulder pain.” Ms Latif plans to study 60 participants in the USC pool and on USC walking tracks three times a week from August, to examine the effects of aquatic versus land-based walking on those symptoms.

“I will also investigate whether both types of walking alleviate anxiety, depression, sleeping disorders, fatigue, pain and apathy, which are other common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease that contribute to reduced quality of life,” she said. The Caloundra resident said she was inspired to upskill by specialist colleagues she worked with in the region. “I spent 10 years using exercise to rehabilitate patients with a multitude of chronic and acute conditions and I’ve come back to

university to learn more about exercise rehabilitation to improve community health and help prevent the progression of diseases like Parkinson’s,” she said. Anyone with Stage 1 or 2 Parkinson’s Disease interested in participating in the study can call 0434 178 547 or email Sarah.latif@ research.usc.edu.au Her research will be supervised by Associate Professor Suzanne Broadbent who leads Clinical Exercise Physiology at USC, and lecturer Dr Sonja Coetzee.

Mystery of model ship By Abbey Cannan Museum staff are searching for anyone with historic knowledge of a mystery antique model ship found in a Noosa shop. The antique model of the HMB Endeavour is thought to have been built sometime between 1888 to 1890. Christopher Nelson from the Maryborough Military and Colonial Museum said the ship had been left at a Noosa shop on consignment by someone, likely a Noosa resident. “The rigging on this model is amazing and accurate down to the smallest detail and only someone who had ’served before the mast’ would have known how to rig it like it is,” Christopher said. “We had a wooden boat builder look at it and he was amazed at the detail of the masts and rigging and confirmed that it is actually an older antique. “It was located in a Noosa shop that had been purchased by a lady to start a hairdressing salon. “The lady that bought the shop and the model ship retired in 2000 and returned home to Tobinga near Kingaroy taking the ship with her. She then donated the ship to the Kingaroy museum who has since gifted it to Maryborough.” Christopher said they were hoping to discover a local family who may know the history of this antique mystery ship. “It’s so big and detailed that it has to be a family heirloom or someone must know where it has come from,” he said. “If you are able to assist we would be extremely grateful.” Anyone with information on the antique model of the HMB Endeavor can contact Christopher Nelson on 0407 966 037.

Scholarship for Arwen Noosa District State High School Year 9 student Arwen Underwood has been awarded with a life-changing Harding Miller Education Foundation academic scholarship. More than 700 students applied for the scholarship this year and Arwen was selected as one of the 150 winners. The scholarships are awarded to students in Year 9 and at the end of year 10 the recipients are invited to reapply for another two years of support. The four years of scholarship support is valued at over $20,000. “This scholarship means so much to me as it has helped me so much since I have received it. It has provided me with so many opportunities and activities that I am interested in and that will help me in the future,” Arwen said.

The Harding Miller Education Foundation is focused on supporting hardworking and academically high achieving young women. The scholarship program provides scholarship winners with valuable tools and support to help optimise academic success and achieve their career aspirations. Scholarship recipients receive new laptops, high speed internet, face-to-face and online tutoring, subject, and career guidance, mentoring and financial support to help cover the costs of uniforms, books and school expenses. Harding Miller Education Foundation executive director Cara Varian said Arwen was very deserving of the scholarship.

“We are so pleased to announce Arwen as one of the scholarship recipients for 2021,“ Cara said. “The Harding Miller Education Foundation’s vital support for high-potential young girls experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage has become even more critical as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. “At the Harding Miller Education Foundation, we are focused on providing talented, hardworking and high achieving young Australian women with tools, resources and support to help them reach their full potential. Our scholarships are more than just financial support. Our scholars are also paired with a coach who provides them with support

throughout the year. “Arwen is well deserving of this support, and we are sure it will help her achieve success in coming years and put her in a position to fulfil her academic goals and future career aspirations. “We encourage any other local young girls who may need support to consider applying for a Harding Miller Education Foundation scholarship this year.“ Applications for scholarships for 2022 will open from mid-July and close in mid-September.

New degree boost for students A new USC degree for 2022 aims to amplify the scope and skills of the next generation of music industry artists and professionals across the Sunshine Coast, Australia and the globe. USC Sunshine Coast is offering a Bachelor of Music next year for the first time to encourage sustainable careers in an industry working on new opportunities for success during Covid-19 restrictions, such as global online markets. It will be taught by award-winning industry professionals and recording artists including major label songwriter, producer and performing artist Dr Andy Ward, renowned music producer Dr Lachlan ‘Magoo’ Goold, and cutting-edge music theorist Dr Briony Luttrell. Dr Ward, a lecturer in contemporary music, said the degree was based on the creation of original music, with a songwriting and music industry focus. “We want to develop practitioners and industry members who have a diverse knowledge of how the industry works and how to navigate it ethically and sustainably in the years ahead,” he said. “Australia’s music scene is a vibrant, essential part of our culture worth billions of dollars to our economy, but it has been reliant on live performance and touring. So not being able to move around geographically has been enormously hard for artists trying to earn a living. “We hope to shape interdisciplinary musicians who can work anywhere. They will play a major part in supporting the inevitable reemergence of the great Aussie music industry in the future and will do so with collaboration and contribution to community in mind. “By their third year, USC Bachelor of Music students will be working towards producing singles for commercial release, playing showcases for industry partners, and producing event and video clips for their future careers.” Dr Ward recently spoke about music education and industry in an Australian Music Vault digital series called Banding Together.

Distorted view of park Your article (NT 16/7) ‘Great Walk irks Greens’ presents two radically different views on the Queensland Government’s proposed ’upgrading’ of the Cooloola Great Walk in the Great Sandy National Park. The headline, together with the somewhat dated picture of those present for the initial award of the tender for provision of the accommodation, also gives a distorted picture of what is really happening here. As Rhonda Prescott, the spokesperson for the local Greens branch, points out, there has been inadequate open public consultation on the entire process. Initially the project was on a much smaller scale, but even at that early stage many serious and scientifically based concerns were raised by QPWS staff regarding the impact on the natural environment. These concerns have never been adequately addressed, instead the Qld Government has come up with an augmented proposal with an even greater potential impact. The only opportunity to comment for those concerned about this new proposal since its modification was a submission to the Federal Minister for the Environment which closed some weeks back. The benefits to the Kabi Kabi people and to local businesses have not been quantified or demonstrated, nor has there been any disclosure of who will be charged with conducting the guided tours and the promised cultural education sessions. My concerns are also raised by the comments of the CEO of CABN, winners of the accomodation tender, that ’the product will not affect current visitors’. How can this not be so, with the inevitable noise and disturbance implicit in construction and maintenance of the cabins and vehicle access tracks? Quite apart from the fact that the new cabins will not be accessible to the general public unless they are prepared to pay the fees of the proprietor, as yet undisclosed. There are many better models for the management of National Parks and World Heritage Areas which, as a rule, involve eco-cabins and accommodation with associated services outside the Park boundaries. We must question the true objective behind this, clearly a test case by the current Qld Government in their indecent greed for commercialisation of our inadequately funded natural heritage. Noel Bird, Boreen Point

National parks not for profit It’s not surprising that the Greens are irked by the Cooloola Great Walk proposal (NT 16/7). National Parks are not a commodity to be exploited for commercial gain. Historically, they were established to protect and preserve areas of outstanding natural beauty and now, in a world of fast vanishing species, out-ofcontrol atmospheric pollution and increasing mental illness, their role is more important than ever. As well as providing a safe haven for vulnerable wildlife and rare plants, they provide an easy way for people to connect with the natural world, with well-established benefits for physical and mental health. There is no evidence that catering for a relatively small number of “high end” tourists will enhance their value to society in general or in any way improve their natural values - just the opposite in fact, with many legitimate concerns that the Cooloola proposal may impact

LENSCAPE

Judy Greaves snapped this stunning sunset at Laguna Bay on Sunday evening. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday. com.au on a fragile and unique environment and create adverse effects for low-key users, the very ones who should be encouraged. Cooloola is part of the Great Sandy National Park, with K’Gari (Fraser Island) being the dominant part. K’Gari is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and there are moves afoot to include Cooloola as well, thus bringing international recognition, with increased tourism and considerable economic benefits for communities at Noosa and Rainbow Beach. Has this been considered by the State Government in promoting high-impact ecotourism for the Cooloola Great Walk? Would it not be better to retain and promote the very attractive and unspoiled features of our national parks rather than descend the slippery slope of commercialisation? John Burrows, Lake Macdonald

Facts on CHAP Minna Knight’s lengthy letter (NT 16/7) provided a critical commentary on Noosa Council’s Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan (CHAP). Representing the Eastern Beaches Protection Association (EBPA), Ms Knight indicated that the EBPA was one of ‘seven community and resident groups publicly stating their lack of confidence in the draft CHAP’. The Peregian Beach Community Association (PBCA) is keen to make it clear that PBCA is not one of the seven. Far from having lack of confidence in the CHAP, PBCA has applauded this timely and urgent initiative. Further, PBCA is one of seven community groups participating in the council’s CHAP Roundtable. PBCA welcomes honest and spirited public debate about the CHAP, but feels compelled to point out inaccuracy and misrepresentation. Among the most serious allegations in the EBPA letter was that ‘many of the arguments in support of adverse planning changes are based on flawed, misleading data’. Let’s be clear. The ‘data’ underpinning the CHAP is impeccably sourced, particularly in relation to the vital issue of ‘climate change’ that prompted the CHAP initiative not only in Noosa Shire but in every affected Queensland council area. The data concerning climate change, and the resulting strategies for adaptations related to coastal hazards, reflect the ‘Representative Concentration Pathway’ (RCP) developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The Queensland Government has specified the particular RCP ‘pathway’ that local councils must use in developing their CHAPs. In response to EBPA’s criticism of the CHAP, the council arranged for the Queensland Government Principal Coastal Scientist Mr Sel Sultmann to address the CHAP Roundtable meeting on 8 July. An EBPA delegate participated in that meeting and heard Mr Sultman’s explanation of the scientific basis of the CHAP. His accompanying graphic examples of coastal damage and loss were sobering. The Council’s ‘risk assessments’ of the future impact of climate change on coastal environments flow from this scientific basis. The prospect of climate change impacts is unwelcome. Similarly, some essential adaptation strategies will also be unwelcome. But climate change cannot be ‘wished away’. Rather, citizens can support the scientificallybased adaptation strategies that might ensure the future survival and flourishing of Noosa’s beachside communities. To that end, PBCA is engaging with Noosa

Council through a strategy of coastal dune protection and rehabilitation - an effective ‘natural’ response to coastal erosion. Taking a wider view, PBCA is also urging Noosa Council to do more in the spirit of its own ‘climate emergency declaration 2019’ and its ‘Climate Change Response Plan 2021’. Dr Brian Hoepper, PBCA representative, CHAP Roundtable

Surfing in Olympics? How can surfing be considered an Olympic sport? Your article “Surfing goes Olympic”. The Olympic motto is ,(faster, higher, stronger) That means capable of being judged by a stopwatch, measurable or weighable. Surfing like so many “sports”, doesn’t cut it. Winning is a purely subjective opinion of the judges and not measurable. So are many Olympic “sports” because the Olympic games are merely an entertainment and not a genuine sporting contest. Perhaps that is why many of us cannot watch this charade which allows money to override the Olympic ideal. Tom Mulligan, Noosaville

Invest in quarantine Well, isn’t it ‘rich’ that Peter Vlandy and the NRL administration are prepared to save the 2021 NRL season by spending approx. $100 million of “their money and shift the NSW-based NRL teams north across the Queensland border... permanently until the end of the regular season and the results of the grand final. And the grounds now chosen for said event here in Queensland are where??? BTW, the supporters from ’ down Mexico way’ will most likely be unable to attend due to Delta and Anna having their say. But $100 big ones to cater for players and their families? NO WAY!!! Roy and HG have got it sussed for a mere fraction of that cost! 1.) Hire Sid Fogg’s coachlines in Newcastle and transport the teams and families up here ’no worries’! Already a couple of $mill saved! 2.) Instead of turfing out wannabe newlyweds in our local resorts and upsetting the Aussie public at large, players and their respective entourages should be billeted in their ’bubbles’ in salubrious accommodation similar to Hampton Springs south east of Darwin. Areas suitable would be Biloela, St George and Mt Pinbarren. This will give players (example: Dragons, Tigers and Sharks) a chance to bond more closely while not playing. When the WAGS join them after their two week quarantine (thanks Anna), they’ll be kept busy by learning how to cook damper. This would save Vlandy and The Boyz another $95 mill. 3.) and, this will benefit our local community by freeing up our local resorts to be more flexible and avoid going into lockdown/ closure should a player or family member test positive. Yet Noosa/Tewantin will enjoy the increased number of NRL games that’ll be played at Stockland’s, Kin Kin Oval, and Pirate Park in Cooroy. Hence, Mr. Vlandy, please, by all means, come to Queensland with the lads and their ladies, but spend your money where it’ll benefit us most...

Camp site questions I would like to congratulate you on the first part of the article ’Great Walk irks Greens’, (NT 16/7) for being the first newspaper to alert the public to the fact that there is another side to this on-going ’Isn’t it great’ Cooloola Great Walk private enterprise venture promotion. The first part of the article touches briefly on some of the many environmental issues arising from this proposal; to bring private enterprise infrastructure into the National Park, and some of the many questions that remain unanswered. For that you ought to be congratulated. However, the second part of the article; the response from KABN CEO Mr Lamprell, contains several inaccuracies. 1. How much ’low impact’ is it to construct glamping tents with hot showers, flushing toilets and a mess tent in close proximity to a very sensitive wetland, containing Patterned Ferns and threatened species of flora and fauna? 2. How much ’low impact’ is it to construct cabins site with hot showers, flushing toilets and common mess cabin within the watershed area of the ONLY perched lake on mainland Australia (Lake Poona)? 3. How much ’low impact’ is it to construct a 450 - 500 m. new 4x4 vehicle access road to access the ’low impact’ site, south of campsite three, traversing over a walking trail? 4. Considering that the main reason offered by Mr Lamprell (in QPWS documents released for the EPBC consultation) for the insistence on campsite number nine (south of three) is “The View“... how come Mr Lamprell remains unwilling to have a look at other sites offered, (east of campsite three), that pose far less environmental issues, and offer similar if not better views? 5. Considering that the new road will go through campsite three, and a further 450 500m along the walking trail from campsite three to two. And considering that various 4x4 vehicles will travel on those roads most days delivering water, food, beddings, towels etc., and taking away refuse and sewerage for disposal, back through campsite three. And considering that campsite three, which is the biggest of the remote camping sites north of Harry’s Hut, and is a favourite of many camping groups and families, as well as a stopover for the many river visitors wishing to climb the sandpatch, how can Mr Lamprell say or even suggest that “The product will not affect current visitors” ? This ’product’, if not changed, will have long lasting negative environmental impacts, as well as greatly negatively affect the camping and river experience of all public visitors to campsite three. If KABN truly wants to make it’s first foray into Queensland national parks a flagship to it’s environmental credentials, it should rethink it’s insistence on campsite number nine (south of campsite three) and campsite P (Lake Poona watershed catchment), and move both to more appropriate sites.

On The Soapbox Rod Ritchie, CARA President

A different perspective

Cooroy Area Residents Association (CARA) president Rod Ritchie ture of the concerns facing this new council. As well, an inherited Noosa River Plan and the Oyster Reef Project were two items that called for compromise and a plan for a way forward. Not long after taking office, Crs Stewart and Lorentson voted to reject the New Noosa Plan, the basis of shire planning decisions and the document that ensures Noosa protects its built and natural environment. However, at subsequent council meetings, there has been a willingness to embrace the proud Noosa traditions of ethical governance and the environmental ethos that has seen Noosa develop and grow into one of the most desirable places in Australia to live and visit. While decisions have

been arrived at with plenty of informed debate, the ability of Crs Lorentson and Wegener to pivot on decisions after listening to the community has been exemplary, even a gamechanger. Cr Wegener recognised the environmental problems with the North Shore Wave Pool, and Cr Lorentson listened to community outrage on the Myall St character building demolition proposal. Lorentson also sincerely apologised to the community after alluding to fraud and corruption in community environment groups. New councillors soon realised residents wanted more of the same when it came to conservation of the built and natural environments. This was evident when the Noosa Biosphere Reserve and its managing Foundation, one of ex-councillor Jackson’s greatest concerns, had new life breathed into it so that The Biosphere now has a future hopefully free from political acrimony. More recently, councillors have postponed making several crucial decisions. When the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan came before council, instead of debating and voting on the staff report, the submission date was delayed for seven months, citing wider consultation. It’s obvious that such a small shire could not foot the bill for coastal repair work to a standard that would protect property, and it’s also obvious that council has no power to alter insurance premiums, or that somehow new maps will solve this huge problem, despite additional community meetings. The Kin Kin quarry truck issue, a legacy problem for the new council, has seen residents given hope

for a better outcome by alluding to a potential legal solution, and fines for breaches by the quarry transport vehicles. Meanwhile the trucks keep rolling. Likewise, the STL dilemma has been put on the back burner while consultants are hired to assess the causes and extent of the very obvious housing crisis in the shire. While much of Jackson’s one term in council was marred by disharmony, the baton of her advocacy for more transparency and community consultation, that she handed on to the new council, has not been taken up to its full extent. For instance, when event crowd numbers were due to be altered after what was considered to be the worst of the pandemic, the staff report recommended no changes to event crowd limits and community consultation. Councillors rejected this advice and voted the numbers be subject to state regulations, and rejected the consultation. Also, when new fiveyear Tourism Noosa funding arrangements came before council, the notion that residents might have a say on this important budget item was rejected unanimously. While there are differences of opinion, as you would expect, this is a group of councillors who get on well, are more often cohesive than not, and who exude good will. The mayor and new councillors, along with the returning councillors, have put aside differences to make a significant contribution to the council’s efficiency and engage in civilised, informed debate. There appears to be a desire to achieve common good and put betterment of the shire put ahead of personal aggrandisement. This is no mean feat.

The account of the last 15 months of Noosa Council politics, Inclusion and Balance, by one-term, ex-councillor Jackson needs a response that puts this important time for the new council in a truer perspective. Rather than asserting leadership, the new mayor has taken many months to understand that, as just one voice out of the seven councillors, she needs to be a team player that listens to the community as well as the team. This was very important in the early Covid times. Once elected Deputy Mayor, Cr Wilkie offered his whole-hearted support to the inexperienced Cr Stewart and the other newbies, who relied on his extensive knowledge, and that of Crs Jurisevic and Stockwell, to get up to speed on the procedures and protocols necessary to understand the processes of local government, and contribute meaningfully to the running of meetings and the making of decisions on complex issues that came before council. All this time, chief executive officer Brett de Chastel was at the meeting table advising and guiding councillors who were on the steepest of learning curves. Far from being yesterday’s men, the incumbents and the chief executive officer held the show together for the first several months. It would be difficult to imagine a worse time for the formation of a new council than April 2020, with the Covid lockdown in full swing, an affordable housing and rental crisis brewing, the closing of state and international borders greatly affecting tourism, and a ShortTerm Letting avalanche only months away. Add issues such as hinterland quarry trucks and flight path problems and you get the pic-

Trio of exhibitions The historic Butter Factory Arts Centre in Cooroy building will transform into three vastly different gallery experiences throughout July and August. There will be three solo exhibitions on display, each one as unique as the other. Individually the artists excel within their genre and showcase a mastery in their specific mediums of paint, abstraction, and assemblage. They are the Creamery exhibition, Flora Collective by contemporary painter Carley Bourne, the Butterbox exhibition Trial No. 8’ by emerging abstract artist Odessa MahonydeVries and the Foyer exhibition Legends Of Objects Of Desire (O.O.D) by sculpture and assemblage artist Manuel Bugallo. Carley Bourne’s colourful and extraordinarily detailed paintings will fill the Creamery space. Highly sought after for her unique style, Carley‘s artwork is heavily inspired by the natural world. Her exhibition Flora Collective represents plant life present in a particular region or time. With a focus on shape and movement, from a delicate leaf, a flower that has burst open, or the tiny details of a seed, this solo exhibition is a unique contemporary collection revealing Carley’s interpretations of Flora. In the Butterbox we are thrilled to debut young and emerging abstract artist Odessa Mahony-deVries. The exhibition Trial No .8 will feature huge abstract artworks, draped from the ceiling, along with videos and images revealing the artists (public and private) process of ‘making’. Whether it be locked in a jail cell with four instructions or tiptoeing along scaffolding, the performative and laborious act of painting is fundamental to this bold exhibition. Odessa’s playful multi-disciplinary art practice talks about concepts of ‘disruption through limitation’ by pushing or conforming to time, duration, and spatial constraints.

Sculpture and assemblage artist Manuel Bugallo. The third solo show which will be on display in the Foyer will feature French-born artist Manuel Bugallo. Manuel’s art practice includes collecting discarded spare parts and forsaken scraps of history and transforming into a new life. These objects once undesirable become desirable again. This exhibition Legends Of Objects Of Desire (O.O.D) is an unfolding story/fable much like the continuity of humanity through storytelling to ignite imagination and interpretation. The three exhibitions open Friday 23 July, tickets are free but booking is essential via the website. The opening event is on 23 July from 6 to 8pm at 11A Maple Street Cooroy. Exhibitions run from 23 July to 29 August. Book online for free at trybooking.com/ BSWJR

Ian’s ‘Crucial Step’ book By Jim Fagan Before he retired, Sunshine Coast workplace assessor Ian Laver was already assessing a new career for himself; writing fiction. He will launch his first novel, ‘Crucial Step’, an adventure mystery set in Malaysia, at Wallace House on 31 July. He has a second novel and two collections of short stories awaiting publication as well as already having short stories in several anthologies. Along the way he has received numerous writing awards, including two emerging writer awards from the Henry Lawson Society-- and has found time to start a Japanese poetry haiku group with the Noosa Arts and Crafts Association. Noosa Today spoke to him last week about his new book and why he wrote it. “I visited Malaysia in the late 1990s and started writing some short stories that linked together but the stories expanded and the idea grew into a book. “‘Crucial Step’ explores the journey of

Ian Laver (far right) with the Wallace House haiku group. From left: Jo Fagan, Celia Esplin, Jan Bentley, Kay Wright, Robert Patch, Laurie Wall and Greg Northby. young Australian, Theo Perry, who travels to Malaysia in search of answers about his estranged father, Vince, following his recent suicide. His father returned from the Vietnam War and, unable to settle back into suburban life in

Australia, abandoned his family to return to Asia. “The book takes the reader on a journey from Kuala Lumpur to Penang as Theo discovers as much about himself as he does about his father. “It’s a backpacking journey of adventure and mystery aimed at baby boomers and also many younger readers wishing to explore the heady days of the hippy backpacking trails through Asia when the world was a different place. “I feel that people who travelled through Asia in the ‘60s and ‘70s will relate strongly to the content of the book. “I think many young people will also be interested in this colourful bygone era of far-off places where policing and laws were different to today and their counterparts took all sorts of risks as well as enjoying freedoms they had never experienced at home. “It would sit comfortably alongside ‘Shantaram’ by GD Roberts and has parallels with the movie, ‘Midnight Express’.

“There is a strong Australian point of view throughout this novel.” Ian has lived on the Coast since 1974 and his connection to Wallace House and the Noosa Arts and Crafts Association stems from his introducing a Japanese haiku poetry group to the association three years ago. “I am not a rampant poetry person but when I hear a good poem that really nails it, no matter what the format, I really love it. “Haiku does that for me because it is a form of poetry that, at its best, is short, punchy and conveys a thought-provoking meaning to the reader within arguable rules. A bit like the short story - not putting in words that don’t need to be there. “So, with the support of Jan Bentley, who was president of the NACA at time, we started up a haiku writing group. That was three years ago and we are still going strong.” The launch of “Crucial Step” by Ian Laver is by invitation only and will be held at Wallace House at 3.30pm on 31 July.

Incredible rescue mission highlighted in new film The world’s first dramatic feature about the cave rescue of a Thai soccer team hits Australian cinemas on August 19. Filmed in Thailand, The Cave tells this true-life story with powerful authenticity, and delves into the deep spiritual and cultural resonance the event had on the Thai people, as well as on the millions worldwide transfixed by the unfolding story and hoping for a miracle. Based on the incredible rescue mission of the “Wild Boars” Soccer Team, 12 boys and their coach, who in June 2018 became trapped in a northern Thailand cave by flood waters. Against all odds, a team of cave divers and responders rushed to the site from around the world to undertake the largest international cave rescue mission in history. Director Tom Waller was the perfect person to create a film about this event. Born in Thailand to an Irish Catholic dad and Thai Buddhist mum, but educated in the UK, he said, “I’m neither fully Thai nor fully British. I speak Thai, I’ve been living here and working here for 15 years and I understand the culture.” He wanted the film to be an honest portrayal of the events that took place at Tham Luang cave, and decided to go for a more authentic approach. Rather than trying to depict the “helicopter view” of the events at Tham Luang - which were followed so avidly by tens of millions of people around the world, Waller has told the story through the eyes of Jim Warny, one of the rescue divers. Warny played a key role in chamber six on days two and three of the rescue, administering top-up injections to the boys to

The film is based on the incredible rescue mission of the “Wild Boars” Soccer Team, who in June 2018 were inescapably trapped in a northern Thailand cave by flood waters.

The Cave hits cinemas across Australia on August 19. keep them sedated (so they didn’t panic and drown) as well as helping dive and carry the team through the cave. He, along with Canadian cave diver Erik Brown and Finnish cave diver Mikko Paasi who were both also stationed inside the cave as part of the ’international all-star team’ that brought the kids out - play themselves in the movie. This is because Waller wanted the film to have a cinema verite, voyeuristic feel to it. The real life moment when Dr Harris taught the 11 other divers how inject someone with Ketamine, by practicing on a plastic drink bottle, is depicted in the movie - as is

Warny’s subsequent “45 seconds” of training with Harris when he joined the mission on the day of the rescue. The film also features several hundred extras, a mix of actors and those who were present at the event itself. At the time there was an influx of people who dropped everything and drove for many miles to go to the mountain to help, and were “turned away because they didn’t have the right badge or a permit,” Mr Waller said. “The farmers closest to the site whose crops were flooded and destroyed, and (who) refused to accept the compensation money the government offered them. The man who

drove his water pumps 900km from Chang Mai.” Nobody really knew about the sacrifices these people made, until now. Thai teen heartthrob Ekawat Niratworapanya plays the football coach, and Thai folk artist Jumpa Saenprom plays Mae Bua Chaicheun, a local farmer who dropped everything and headed to the mountainside to help. Actors also play Australian divers Richard Harris and Craig Challen, who won the Australian of the Year award for their efforts. The Cave hits cinemas across Australia on August 19.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Tasty Asian by the river Trevor Pepys reviews Rasa Modern Asian Cuisine Another week, another cheap Asian BYO! I know what you’re all thinking – Trev’s blown his fortune on cryptocurrency, which he might have done, if he knew what it was, and if he ever listened to the advice of his wise old grandson. But no, it wasn’t about the money, it was about having an old mate in town with whom Trev has trudged up many a dark lane on the wrong side of lawless towns, seeking sensory and culinary delights. Or was it sensuous? Doesn’t matter, too much water under that bridge, move along, nothing to see here. We were always looking for new experiences, the mate and I, and yes, it sometimes got us into trouble, but more often it got us a free plate of sardines in a harbour-front bar in Portugal, or fish and chips and a pint for next to nothing in a seedy Cornish pub. “Are there any Portuguese sardine bars or Cornish pubs in this part of Noosa?” the mate asked. No, but remember that mad night in Malacca when you could hear the pigs squealing in the kitchen as the blade came down? “No.” Trev’s managed to unsee that one too, but you get the general idea, cheap as chips Asian-Malaysian served with a smile. We can do that a short hike along the river. The mate was happy. We filled an Esky with litre-bottles of Bailey and Bailey pinot gris (about $10 at Dan’s) and wandered into a splendid river sunset before arriving at Rasa, to find it already half full of locals and the kitchen puffing out the exquisite aromas of the East. The missus and a daughter on the cadge materialised moments later, having done their bit for the hole in the ozone layer by driving the few hundred metres from home. After a brief lecture on environmental responsibility, and a few slurps of the vino, Trev took charge and ordered starters for the table – vegie spring rolls ($9.20), Thai-style fish cakes ($8.40) and Bert’s Steamed Balls – don’t ask ($8.90). The spring rolls and the fish cakes were average to goodish, Bert’s balls a triumph of reality over fantasy – lean pork marinated in tasty spices. Excellent. The mate was in his element now, quaffing the pinot and making guttural noises as he ate enthusiastically. The women looked on horrified, but Trev knew he was back in the Malacca of the mind, reliving it all. Trev allowed personalised choices for the mains, on condition of sharing, and took the lead with the Seafood Hot Thai Chilli ($23.60), while the mate chose the Prawn Rasa ($23.60), the daughter a Vegetarian Thai Green Curry ($16.90) and the missus a humble Gado Gado ($17.90) and steamed rice for the table ($4.90). Trev’s chilli mixed seafood extra hot, off the

chef’s specials board, featured tasty homemade Thai chilli paste and a mix of spices, wok-tossed with seasonal vegetables, all of which made up for the fairly lacklustre seafood mix. Rasa knows her pastes, that’s for sure. The mate’s Prawn Rasa was much the same, except more prawns, less paste. The vegie green curry

was a little under par, but the huge gado gado was another triumph, proving yet again that a good kitchen can make the simplest dishes sing. The verdict: Overall, a little uneven, but we were hungry and probably should have put more thought into ordering instead of bogging

straight in. Even on a chilly winter evening, it’s a good room right off the street, tables full of people enjoying the simple ambience and the cheerful service. If you’re not already a regular, it’s worth a try. Rasa Modern Asian Cuisine, 255 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. Phone 54740263.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Clearer times to come What a mixed bag of weather we have seen this week. From crazy winds, swell, no swell, rain and clear skies, light westerly winds and a great day for all. South east Queensland sure has the ability to throw a few curve balls when it comes to weather so trying different styles or locations can keep you fishing rather than wishing. Offshore saw a big race to get the last snapper and pearl perch before the seasonal closure came into effect. Many anglers caught smaller fish around Sunshine, Halls, North Reef and Chardon’s with a few bigger, older fish upwards of 85cm. These fish were smashing slow presented soft plastics and bigger baits. Should you catch a pearl perch or snapper it must be returned. Now is a great time to purchase a release weight so you can do your bit to protect the spawning fish and make the closure a success. Other species to target through winter are big cobia, jewfish, amberjack and sweetlip as well as deep water tuna and the occasional mackerel in the warmer waters offshore. If looking for another method, then give soft plastics a go but speed up the retrieval. Try not fishing the bottom so closely and try swimming the plastic up off the reef bottom. Cobia are a sucker for the style of fishing as are amberjack. If using baits, then drop paternoster rigs back to one hook. Should you hook snapper at least you are only catching one. Try to note what they look like on your sounder so you don’t continue to catch them. Surf fishing is showing signs of better fish turning up. There are more sporadic reports of tailor from the various river mouths but mainly inside the estuaries. Woods Bay is a great spot for tailor as they can ball baitfish up against the edges before decimating them. Dart continue to range from small to impressive 40cm-plus sized fish. The winter bream are also showing up as you head south from Noosa around Castaways and Peregian. With many owners of Alvey reels on the coast, the new range of MJF rods is taking them back to a time when super lightweight glass rods were in favour. The Inskip model is proving popular with bream and whiting anglers and are constructed using Schneider blanks and stainless Alps reel seats and guides. These are best suited to 6kg lines and smaller reels for a combo you can fish all day long. The estuary appears to be loaded with smaller flathead right now. The size ranges from 40-70cm and these fish are hungry! Following the bigger tides, a lot of baitfish got washed into the river which brings the predators out. Take a drift along the stretch from Noosa Marina to the Dog Beach. Here you will find many undulating drop offs, holes and flats. Soft vibes work very well, especially if the drift is quite fast as they can be cast ahead of

Keegan Moore-Shearn caught this 85cm snapper off Noosa on a 7 inch jerk shad just before the season closure your drift easily. The new Nomad Vertrex swim is catching some great fish including trevally and queenfish. There are also good numbers of smaller golden trevally which have to be one of the prettiest fish in the river with super bright yellows and blacks against a silver body. These fish love chunk baits like prawn, mullet and pilchard. Fish these lightly weighted and let it drift along in the current near structure or deep holes. Freshwater will see an influx of anglers to Borumba next weekend for the annual Fish Headz Noosa campout. With more than 90 anglers on the water, the competition is all about bass, so expect a review next week. Until then, if hunting for a fish, try working the edges as the warmer weather this week will have warmed the weed which traps the heat. Try small suspending jerkbaits like the

Cliffe’s Chevy Chase By Margaret Maccoll The 1959 Dodge Custom Royale is the ultimate car, according to Cliffe Ellis, and as the owner of five of the flashy American classics, he should know. “No other car looks like a ‘59,” he said at the Noosa Beach Classic Car Show at Noosa Districts Sports Centre last Sunday. “They’re just different.” Cliffe believes the ‘59 epitomised the peak of perfection in cars built by Chrysler Corporation. “They just got bigger and better, then lost the plot in ‘60,” he said. Cliffe has 11 Chryslers including a 1957 station wagon he bought in New York and which he and his wife drove across the country on the infamous Route 66 highway. His prized yellow ‘59, which he spent about $50,000 restoring, was proudly displayed at the car show alongside a variety of classic cars, including a very tiny BMW Isetta and an elegant 1936 Rolls Royce sport saloon and 1938 Rolls Royce Phantom III. Scholtz Van Der Walt found his 1957 BMW Isetta in the basement of a Melbourne building resting up on a loft. “It was completely taken apart,” he said. “I had to restore it from the ground up.” Scholtz owned an Isetta in South Africa but sold it before migrating to Australia. “I missed it - it’s uniqueness,” he said. He said the 330kg car was a perfect town car, easy to find a park that drove well up to about 70km/hr, but was not so good on the open road. For more classic cars, look out for the inaugural Noosa Classica on Hastings Street, bringing about 100 classic and super cars to the tourist strip on Saturday 11 September from 4-8pm.

Safety is paramount for Noosa lifeguards.

The shark nets of Noosa By Ron Lane Once again, they are in the news. The shark nets of Noosa. These nets were laid following a number of shark attacks along the Queensland coast, one of which occurred, unfortunately, at Noosa’s Main Beach, about 6.30am on 18 December 1961. As a result of this and other incidents, many projects were undertaken by both government and private groups to find a solution that would hopefully establish a method of safety to protect our beaches. Finally, the idea of the nets was accepted. The next step was where they should be placed. These areas were selected after an expert on the shark problem conducted a survey from a light aircraft, and the project was soon under way. For the coastal area of Noosa, nets were laid at Sunshine Beach and Noosa Main Beach. This was, of course, a welcome sight for our locals as the recent tragedy had a massive effect on the struggling tourist industry. But most of all, it came as a blessing to the volunteer lifesavers who, for several years, had been patrolling Noosa’s Main Beach with the shark problem being of major concern. The cause of our concern was the fact that least every second or third weekend a patrol would sound the shark alarm and the surf would have to be cleared. This often resulted in lifesavers, some not knowing the whereabouts of the unwanted visitor, having to swim out and either drag or assist swimmers back to shore. So common were these incidents, that on occasions when a shark was spotted cruising around the thensmall reef at First Point, a patrolman would paddle out on a surf ski, and sitting some 50-80 metres west of the Point, watch the activities. If it turned and started swimming toward the beach, the patrolman would raise the alarm and the beach would be cleared. If it turned out to sea, then he would follow for some distance, then give the all- clear signal. Two types 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 July, 2021

that were most common were the tiger and the bronze whaler with the tiger being considered most dangerous. Before the trendies discovered our “quiet, very quaint, sleepy little fishing village, called Noosa,” our beach would have very few visitors, so, when Noosa’s First Point was at its best with a nice green 2-3-metre body wave (a common occurrence in those days), the members would body surf to their heart’s content. This was also before the invention of the surf board. The only problem that would interrupt a beautiful morning was when, and this was a common occurrence, some clown would call out, “Look behind yuh.” On doing so we would turn to see our few visitors, jumping up and down on the beach and pointing. Sure enough, there would be fin breaking the surface as a “munchie” cruised slowly up and down the gutter between us and the beach. After scaring the hell out of mum, dad, kids and clubbies, it would turn and go out to sea. Our saving factor was, according to the Massoud family, (our local legendary fishermen), that the North Reef, a mile out from Main Beach and Jew Shoal, out from National Park, was loaded with fish. Jew Shoal in particular, was once referred to by a team of professional divers as being home to the big menace, the tiger shark. At this stage, there was not a clubbie who did not have his favourite shark story with some encounters being up close, like when a shark swam between the legs of clubbie Merv “Sputtie” Cummings while body surfing. Then there was the happy proud mother, watching as her five-year-old son, standing in waist deep water having fun jumping up and down in a gutter. It was 6am on a Saturday and the flags were about to be raised. Suddenly the cry of “shark!” made the patrol look toward the gutter. There, some 60 metres away, a two- metre bronze whaler was slowly moving towards

the child. Dropping the flagpole, patrolman Norm Adams, known as Nudie, without a moment’s hesitation ran into the water, picked up the child and backed up onto the beach. The shark swam past, turned and moved out to sea. The hysterical mother grabbed her son and then gave Nudie the biggest hug he had ever had. Nudie’s patrol mates gave him a big thumbs up and yelled “Good on yuh mate!” That was it. No big deal, just another shark incident in the “No Net Days at Noosa’s Main Beach”. The shark netting came about as a result of a shark control conference, initiated by the Nicklin Government in January 1962, resulting in the first permanent netting in November of that year. As a result of this, 32 sharks were netted in the first week that the nets were introduced in the Noosa region. However, one problem became apparent. The big boys, five and six metres, were too big and strong to hold. This was resolved when a stronger type of mesh was used in the making of the nets. But for us on patrol, we started to notice a change. Since the introduction of the nets, the shark incidents and alarms started to diminish. Happy to relate, this in fact became a reality. In discussions with several veteran patrolman, they agreed that in their 10-year period they had experienced very few incidents. Also, the number of sharks netted was reducing. Why is hard to answer. It doesn’t mean that more sharks are being killed. However, more than one experienced underwater explorer has come to believe nature has created a type of warning system within the body that causes sharks to avoid certain areas or objects. Unbelievable as it seems, it does make us wonder. The manufacture of a successful shark repellent has been tested by some of the world’s best, the US Navy and, most important of all, what many experienced divers class as one of the best underwater exploration teams, the

Calypso-Cousteau people - neither of which have come up with a 100 per cent repellent. But again, it brings us back to our experiences at Noosa’s Main Beach. This tells us that, believe it or not, since the Noosa nets were introduced in November 1962, our shark incidents have been reduced by a massive 80-90 per cent. So why is it that when we have had hundreds of lifesavers, who over the years have patrolled our beach and can confirm these statements, that the five-minute experts, who are unknown to our experienced patrolmen, come into our “quaint little sleepy fishing village” and tell us that, much to their frustration, ‘’it (the shark netting) is not even effective”. As a result of their research, they have also discovered that the nets are located “about 8090m from the shore” when, in fact, they are set some 200-300m out to sea. Regarding our tourists being upset having to watch humpback whales drowning while on a shopping expedition in Hastings Streets shows the lack of respect for the mentality of our visitors. It is absolutely impossible to view Main Beach from Hasting Street. This, however, could be overcome if our tourist industry was to publish a travellers’ brochure advertising the where and how to hire extension ladders. Hysterical statements and rash actions will not help provide solutions for other resorts that have not been fortunate enough to have achieved a successful shark net system such as we have at Noosa. Only the foolish would want to destroy what has worked for us at Noosa Main Beach when they do not, repeat, do not have another system ready to go already tested and perfect. This is something that man will never find as the ocean has and always will be home to what the legendary Jacques-Yves Cousteau once described as the perfect killing machine, the shark. Experience, the greatest teacher of all, tells us that Noosa nets, must, for now, stay as is.

Noosa Enduro returns for its biggest year yet after a ten-year hiatus.

The iconic Noosa Enduro returns after a decade Billy and Tess tie the knot.

Champions tie the knot By Joy Ringrose Cooran’s Billy Raymont is now ranked as Australia’s number one onshore showjumping rider by the Federation Equestrian International after a very successful ’20-’21 season. More important to Billy is his newly changed marital status. Last Friday Billy, and fellow World Cup show jumper Tess Cook tied the knot at a relaxed celebration at Hidden Cove, near Noosa Woods. This was followed by five hours of merrymaking that included witty speeches, concentrated cake cutting, great eats, drinks and a lot of vigorous, enthusiastic dancing, cruising the Noosa Sound on the Catalina. The many Cooks and the Raymonts were joined by friends, and a host of show jumpers, mostly from Queensland and Victoria, in this joyous evening of celebration. The newly-weds will continue living on their property in Cooran with frequent competition and coaching trips to southern states. Both Billy and Tess have several new and exciting showjumping horses they are already competing at a high level. You can see them in action this weekend at the Sunshine Coast Equestrian Club’s July show. It will be held at Nambour Showgrounds over the three days of the 23, 24 and 25 July. The main events will be held on the grass of the showgrounds with smaller classes in the nearby indoor arena. Highlights of the show include the Saturday’s 1.20m championship, starting in the middle of the day, which will be followed by the junior championship, featuring the SCSJ club’s large pool of up and coming young talent.

Over a long European-style course, it will challenge horses to really open up and cover the ground at high speeds. All available stables and yards have now been fully booked as more than 300 horses and riders will be coming to compete. This show is free and open to public spectators.

The two-day cycling festival, Noosa Enduro, returns for its biggest year yet after a 10year hiatus. Taking in some of Noosa’s most spectacular off-road real estate, riders will be guided through stunning trails, tracks, mountains and tablelands while tackling some of the Coast’s most difficult terrain. The brainchild of USM’s Geoff Myer and local resident Scott Woodward, the event was championed by none other than Garth Prowd, godfather of Australian triathlon, pioneer for Australian sport and a passionate athlete advocate. Billed as a marathon mountain bike event for elite competitors, the Noosa Enduro attracted some of the best riders from around the world. Garth tragically passed away three years ago and since then his son-in-laws, ProcuSports founders and former professional cyclists, Matt Wilson and Ben Kersten have looked for ways to continue his legacy. The discovery of some archived coverage of the original Noosa Enduro coincided with 2020’s Covid-19 lockdown and an idea was born. With elite, mass participation and e-bike categories, Noosa Enduro has something for the avid rider, the beginner and those who just really want to push their limits. The mass participation ride takes on the same course as the elite riders over a mixed terrain of gravel and private roads, single track, pitted fields and some technical sections. Noosa Enduro director Matt Wilson said the event had already had a massive amount of interest with tickets selling fast. “We’re excited to be bringing an iconic event back to Noosa and, judging by the amount of interest we’ve already received, riders are pretty keen too,” Matt said. “The courses that have been mapped out are epic and there’s something for every age group and ability. “With six different rides on offer you can tackle the Enduro on the Saturday and finish the weekend with the Noosa Fondo, a road and gravel ride through the hinterland.” Participants can also test themselves on one of Noosa’s most well-known climbs nicknamed ‘Mother’, a climb so tough only a handful of riders on the original enduro

have ever completed without putting their feet down. Turning the Noosa Hinterland into one giant playground, the epic trails have been tried, tested and ready for those up for the challenge. The two-day cycling festival will also feature a festival village with entertainment, a cycling expo, food stalls, local craft breweries, and kids’ events.

Noosa into semis Noosa’s A grade team, the defending champions, scored a stunning 6-1 victory over previously unbeaten Maroochy River in the season’s final pennant fixture round on Sunday to book its place in this weekend’s semi-finals. It was a win against the odds, as the powerful Maroochy River team had taken all before it this season, and Noosa’s form had been inconsistent. But the defending champions did it easily – with Toby Harding (1 up), George Giblett (3&1), Alec O’Brien (3&2), Cooper Clarke (1 up), Sam Aboulden (2&1) and Ryan Mulder (6&5), all scoring impressive wins. They will take on Mount Coolum in Sunday’s semi-final at Noosa Springs with the winner going straight into the final at Gympie on 1 August. And in what was a great day for Noosa, the club’s B grade and Masters pennant teams also won their way into the semi-finals. In B grade, Noosa beat Twin Waters 5-2, with wins to David Mills, Michael Nasseriddin, Justin Morgan, Chris Wright and Ben Meredith, while Noosa’s Masters team, led by Graham Farrell, Darren Wylie and Nev Hazlett, crushed Twin Waters, 6-1. Both Noosa teams will play sides from Mount Coolum in Sunday’s semi-finals at Maroochy River. Cooroy’s team in B grade, led by colourful former professional Marc Bright, maintained its unbeaten record to whip Maroochy River 5.5-1.5 and secure a semi-final spot against Peregian at Maroochy River on Sunday. And Noosa Springs, with Michael Mason, Andrew Horner, Andrew Tregaskis, Simon Cotton, Chris Collinge and Jean Luc Chaudet all notching wins, beat Gympie 6-1 to book a semi-final spot against Headland in the Masters division. New greens super at Cooroy Warren Smith, currently second in charge at Noosa Hills, has been appointed greens superintendent at Cooroy. He will take up his new role on 9 August. Smith, who managed the private course at Cooroy Mountain for many years and was responsible for most of its construction, replaces Todd McNamee, who has moved to Mount Coolum. Experienced in all aspects of the role, Smith has made plans to meet Cooroy’s greens staff and inspect the course before he starts. Brendan O’Brien has been filling in since McNamee’s departure, and club officials say he has done a superb job. Noosa veteran in the mix at Bargara Noosa’s Simon Tooman, after sharing the overnight lead on five-under-par 67, faded slightly with a second-round 73 to finish fourth in last week’s Bargara Legends Pro-Am. Tooman, a member of Noosa Golf Club and a consistent performer on the Legends Tour, was four strokes behind red-hot Andre Stolz, who scored his second straight victory, shooting matching rounds of 68 for an eightunder total of 136.

Cooper Clarke, a winner over Maroochy River’s Tyler Quaill, is looking forward to Sunday’s semifinal. Stolz, the reigning Australian Seniors champion, had also won the previous event at Yeppoon. Golfing legend Peter Senior was runner-up both times, prompting him to comment: “I wish this Stolz fellow would go back to where he came from.” Tooman picked up $1164 – more than meeting expenses for his Bargara trip. He didn’t have the same luck at Hervey Bay at the weekend, however, shooting rounds of 75 and 77 to finish in the second half of the field. Who won? You guessed it. Andre Stolz again – this time shooting rounds of 67 and 66 for a four-stroke victory that took him to a commanding lead in the tour’s Order of Merit. Tash and Tracey in district team Tash Baker (Noosa) and Tracey Carter (Noosa Springs) have been named in a six-woman district team to compete in the Meg Nunn Salver tournament at Toowoomba’s Middle Ridge golf course in early September. The annual inter-district tournament, usually contested by teams from six districts across Queensland, is a matchplay event for women on low handicaps. Tash and Tracey, along with golfers from Bribie Island, Headland, Pelican Waters and Caloundra, will represent the Sunshine Coast and Burnett district. Good showing by Bronson Bronson White was the best performed Noosa representative in this month’s two-day Winter Classic at Brisbane’s Keperra golf course, shooting rounds of 77 and 81 to finish 19th in the event which was contested by southeast Queensland’s best juniors. Bronson, a Noosa member, finished 16 shots behind the winner, Southport’s highly promising Billy Dowling, who scored 73 and 69 for the 36-hole event. Wine down for Skins series

Registrations are now open for the third of this year’s Noosa Springs Skins Series, where golfers vie for prizes of bottles of premium wine in a fun, social team stableford competition. Teams of four players play a ‘skins’ event, seeking to get the highest number of points on each hole, and win four bottles of wine for the team. If there is a tie – as there often is – the prize jackpots to the next hole, and keeps jackpotting until there is a clear winner. The next event is at noon on Wednesday 8 September. The cost is $85 ($39 for Noosa Springs members), which includes lunch and post-game nibbles.

Useful tips to control your pitch shots By Peter Heiniger Several things are needed to achieve consistent distance control with your pitching. One involves your angle of attack - that is, the angle at which your club face strikes the ball or the angle of your shaft at the point of impact. If the angle is too steep your ball flight will be too low and the ball will run further, whereas a shallower angle will see the ball fly higher and stop quicker. The different angles of attack can be attributed to your ball and body weight position at the moment of impact, referred to as 48 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 July, 2021

TAKE THE TIP your dynamic angle of attack. Having the ball back in your stance with your weight positioned well forward steepens your angle of attack and de-lofts the club face angle, turning your wedge now into the

equivalent of a nine iron. Moving the ball forward, with your weight centred, will shallow the angle of attack and increase your loft. Consistency in achieving both will control your flight and distance. How the ball lies and what lies between you and the hole, will then determine what ball position and club best suits the shot. This, of course, comes with experience. Good golfing. PETER HEINIGER, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs’ head PGA teaching professional.

Lions give heart hope The life of a young lady, who suffered a major heart problem while training at a local gym, was saved by the fact that a defibrillator was nearby, and a staff member, trained in the application, was on hand. This only tends to emphasise the fact that this apparatus is not only for the older generation: heart problems do have a tendency to not only hit the young but also, strange as it may seem, the young athletes. When the Tewantin Noosa Lions received a request from the Tewantin school for assistance to obtain a defib to be stored on the swimming pool premises, they took immediate action and as a result a defib was donated by them to the school swimming club. In a quiet, early morning ceremony, two members of the Lions board of directors, Michael Roach and Bill Battilana, arrived at the Tewantin pool to make the presentation. In attendance for the presentation, was pool lessee Margaret Rogers and daughter Lana. Accepting the defib on behalf of the school Lana, Australia’s current reigning Nutri Grain Iron Woman champion and pool assistant said, “On behalf of the school I would like to thank the Lions for this donation. It is a fantastic gesture, one that the school really appreciates. With swimmers of all ages attending aqua aerobic classes and training sessions, it is good to know that we have the defib on the premises. It is will be available for adults as well as students.’’ Speaking on behalf of Lions ,Michael Roach said, “We are very proud to be able to make this presentation. However, this is not just our only involvement. We are also funding three disabled children in learn to swim programs, just one of the many projects that we have undertaken for this year.’’ Projects for which our community should be very grateful. For the Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club, this promises to be a big weekend. This Friday at noon, the club will host what is always looked upon as the ticket of the year - the now-famous Dolphins Long Lunch. The big attraction, apart from the good food, wine and friendship, is the list of guest speakers. Drawn from the legends of the game, they will be sure to hold your attention. Last year saw the cancellation of the event because of Covid-19 so the demand for tickets this year is sure to be big. So, for late bookings call 0437 013 648.

In the A grade, debutants Ben Condon, Tyson Schefe and Ben Ashman, gave a standout performance in Noosa’s winning margin of 47-10.Despite being on debut, Ben Condones’ game saw him win the Player of the Day. All indications are that the Dolphins will be looking forward to a successful finals’ series. We wish them well. Saturday for the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club was indeed a busy day with a reunion for the Old Boys and Life Members, and playing host to the visiting Beerwah Club. With three games on the agenda, it was a full- on afternoon.The ladies went down to the visitors 20-18, beaten on the bell, and for the u/18 it was not their day, going down to Beerwah 4010. With the A grade taking the field at 5.30pm, the Pirates ran out hoping for better things. Beerwah was first to put scores on the board, when a good break by their left wing was finished off by their hard running centre, Melino Fineaganofa . The kick was unsuccessful but it gave a start of 4-0. Following some good work in centre field, Pirates hit back when Seaton Reid broke through on the 14th minute to

score near the posts. A converted try saw Pirates lead 6-4.However, in what can only be described as a lapse in defence two minutes later, Beerwah centre Melino Fineaganofa again ran almost the length of the field to score wide of the post. The conversion hit the post but it gave Beerwah a lead of 8-6. Beerwah scored again, with some heavy barging up centre field to score near the posts and convert. Beerwah 14-6. With Pirates running out wide, a loose ball on their left wing saw Beerwah in again 18-6.Things did not get better for Pirates when the opposition right wing made a good clear run and turning infield, cut the defence for some 40 metres to make it 24-6 at half time. It was obvious at half time that the major problem for Pirates was a combination of erratic defence plus being up against a forward pack that was twice their size. With their size advantage, plus two fast running forwards, they had total control when attacking up the centre. Noosa hit back quickly in the second half with a try by Curtis Schaller following a good break by Seaton Reid, to make it 24-12 Beerwah. With the big forward pack continuing to dominate, the score moved to 28-12, and with their ability to keep the play, for the majority of second half in centre field, they continued to cross the Pirate line, winning with a final score

But with the bigger Beerwah forwards moving up, there was little protection for the halves, thus putting a stop to the sweeping runs of previous games. However, our smaller pack never faltered. They continued to hustle the bigger boys. It was not enough and the day definitely belonged to Beerwah. Friday, 23 July, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 49

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Sensational airs are a Wilson trademark.

The Wilson family.

Picture: JULIAN’S INSTAGRAM

Olympian Julian bows out By Phil Jarratt When world number 17 Julian Wilson called time out on a decade-long and highly lucrative career on the World Surf League last weekend, the only real surprise was the timing of the announcement. The former Noosa champion, who these days calls Merewether Beach in Newcastle home, was about to fly from the Australian Olympic training camp in Cairns to Tokyo where he is the number eight seed in a field of 20 as surfing makes its Olympic debut this week. Possibly Julian felt that taking the WSL weight off his mind might focus him on going for gold in Chiba, which on recent competitive form, would be one of the great surfing comebacks, but what a great way to exit stage left! The truth is that those close to him have seen this coming for months, since Covid made travelling to the events with a young family an impossibility. Then the loss of longtime major sponsor Hurley added a financial element to the equation. And when he was one of several tour surfers who pulled out of last month’s Surf Ranch Pro in California, friends knew the writing was on the wall. Not that Jules himself is calling it stumps. He posted on Instagram: “I would like to take this time to let you all know I’m taking a break indefinitely from the WSL world tour for my own wellbeing and that of my family. By no means am I calling it a retirement from professional surfing and the decision I have made is in line with what I value most in my life and that is my family. The inability to travel internationally with them now and for the foreseeable future is enough for me to take a step back and be there for my wife and children.” Wife Ash posted: “We’re so excited for what’s to come as a family and so grateful for everyone’s support. I have loved sharing so much of Julian’s career, from the people, the places and the countries travelled, they will always be held dear to my heart.” Although Julian’s statement seemed to be leaving the door open to a return to the tour in a post-Covid world, it’s hard to see how that could happen, particularly in light of WSL chief executive Erik Logan’s official statement: “Julian Wilson has had a fantastic decade-long career surfing against the world’s best on the WSL Championship Tour. He’s a five-time CT winner, a Pipe Master, a Triple Crown winner and has been a perennial World Title threat his entire career. We support his decision to spend time with his family and hope to see him ripping again soon, whether that’s in or out of a jersey.” Logan continued: “After the Games, he will not be joining the Championship Tour in either Mexico or Tahiti, and will not seek a WSL wildcard for 2022.” 50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 23 July, 2021

Julian deep and committed at Cloudbreak, Fiji. So, unless he was given a sponsor wildcard or two next year – highly unlikely – one of Australia’s greatest surfers of the past two decades would have to spend the fading years of his career on the gruelling qualifying tour, and given Julian’s huge commitment to wife Ash and their two young children, that ain’t gonna happen. The youngest of three sons of pioneer Noosa surfers Nola and Mick Wilson, Julian learnt to surf on a longboard soon after he could walk, and at the age of nine, by which time he was the cutest grommet competing at the Noosa Festival of Surfing, he jagged a major sponsorship with the O’Neill surfwear brand, and became the poster child for its children’s lines around the world. After signing with Quiksilver in 2002, he became one of the Young Guns in a highly successful video series that created his name as a shortboarder. In 2006 Julian won his only world title to date, the ISA World Juniors, and went on to a successful pro junior career before qualifying for the World Championship Tour in 2011, just weeks after inking a rumoured $5 million, fiveyear deal with Nike. In 2012 he had his first tour victory, defeating the young Brazilian Gabriel Medina at Peniche, Portugal, followed by his most significant tour triumph, in the Pipe Masters in 2014. But it was his equal second placing at the JBay Open in South Africa in 2015 that cemented his place in surfing history. During the two-man

Andrew Bock’s imagining of the surf storage idea. final Mick Fanning was attacked by a Great White shark, and seeing his friend and rival in trouble, Julian fearlessly paddled towards him to help. It was a moment for the ages. In 2018, Julian came closest to a WCT title when he won events in Australia and France, and finished second, with form that he hasn’t been able to replicate since, at least not while competing. Julian has given us many great moments in a stellar career, and whatever path in surfing he chooses to take next, I’m sure we’ll see many more.

FOOTNOTE: At last Thursday’s Council meeting, Cr Amelia Lorentson asked Noosa Council to investigate options for surfboard storage racks and lockers at designated beachside locations, to provide secure storage and a meeting place for locals. The intention is to reduce reliance on car transport and get people on free buses, bikes, scooters or walking and running. Amelia, a keen surfer and Council observer on the Noosa World Surfing Reserve stewardship committee, presented ideas and a design by local architect and surfer Andrew Bock. Great idea, Amelia.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Tigers roar at reunions By Julian Pitts Well, what a massive day had by all at Weyba Road on Saturday. And whilst none of the senior men’s teams got the result they wanted, a wonderful president’s luncheon, two premiership reunions and a solid victory by our top of the table women’s team ensured plenty of happy patrons. In fact, the crowd was massive as the two 51-year rivals once again bashed and crashed into each other in a very entertaining first half. It was only half way through the third stanza that the finals bound Roos took a stranglehold on the winless Tigers to run away eight goal victors. Teenager Shadeau Brain was just outstanding for the Tigers and received the Doug Murray $100 award while skipper Aaron Laskey again dominated the entire day and got his half a dozen Coronas for his efforts. The captain is really having a wonderful season. Both our Colts and reserves started well like the seniors but were over run in the end by more skilfull outfits. It was a great victory for our Mischief Hair women’s team which continues to go from strength to strength. Ipswich provided strong opposition and this writer believes they will be there at the end but the class of Cass Young, Ruby Hamilton and the Trompf girls was too much in front of a ripping night time crowd. Essendon great Terry Daniher was superb at our third president’s lunch for 2021. His raw and bushy way of reflecting on his sporting life was just so refreshing. A massive thank you to all those who helped set up and run the lun-

Great day for Tigers cheon. Carlton great Jimmy Buckley, our next speaker on Saturday 7 August, is a real larrikin of our great game and one not to be missed. It was great to see so many wonderful faces from both our 1980-’81 and 2010-11 premiership reunions. Names like Townsend, Fox, Gunn, Roberson and Gardiner all made it down to the footy while plenty of the ‘10-’11

boys loved the luncheon and, I’m sure, enjoyed a wonderfull weekend. The men are away to Wilston Grange this Saturday with all three grades heading down the Bruce confident they can can home with the four points. It would be great to have a few of the Tiger faithful come down snd cheer the boys on.

Our women are away to Sandgate as they attempt to continue this terrific winning streak. Best of luck to Noosa girls Bella Smith and Maggie Harmer as their draft week approaches and, of course, to all those teams representing the Noosa Tigers within our junior ranks this weekend. Go Tigers.

AUCTIONS GEAR UP: BUYERS SEEING VALUE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY LESSONS learned in the changed Noosa property market in the past year have seen the return of well-established values when conducting business. Clients have become more trusting of real estate agents in the year of Covid-19, especially when making decisions to buy a property sight unseen. Yet this brings with it much more responsibility on the part of the agent. After all, people are about to make one of the biggest decisions of their life and they need to have faith in the person helping facilitate this. It’s a time when people are prepared to make those decisions. They may have been long-held ideas to leave the city and make the sea change to areas such as Noosa. Covid has been the trigger to make that happen. A wake-up call as to why they are making do in a crowded situation when they Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

could be enjoying life in a more natural environment. Some are bringing the decision forward, moving straight away, especially now that working from home is a real option. Meanwhile others are putting the shift to Noosa as something for the near future buying now and moving to two to five years. What it needs on behalf of the real estate agent is authenticity. Speaking with Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate he says it’s not a value you understand that well, but it is needed if you want to be successful. Noosa is being seen as a safe place that has a lot to offer. It’s a great alternative to city living regional yet it has everything in regard to shopping, services and natural attractions. EXCEPTIONAL INTEREST Designed by Chris Clout, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom, three-car house with pool at 8 Stevens St, Sunshine Beach, goes to auction Saturday, July 31, at noon. Peter TeWhata said it was a stunning home that has been beautifully crafted by the current owners. “It’s on three levels with lift access to all levels,’’ Peter said. “The house faces north, with banks of sliding stacker doors to regulate the sea breeze.’’

There was active bidding on the day with auctioneer Justin Voss but it was after the event that local buyers stepped forward and placed it under contract. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom fully-furnished unit 18/272 Weyba Rd, Noosaville, was sold prior to last Thursday’s scheduled auction. To be held in rooms, a contract was placed on it and conditions met prior by Sydney buyers looking at it as an investment that brings income as well as holidays. A CALL TO ACTION Lauren Chen at Tom Offermann Real Estate has called a snap auction of a threebedroom, two-bathroom, one-car house at 13 Belfa Pl, Noosa Heads. Listed last Thursday, the decision to go straight to auction Saturday, July 31, at 10am, so that interest in the property would be fully transparent. “It’s a cutie,’’ Lauren said. “It’s sure to attract attention. “That’s why we decided on a short, sharp campaign. “It’s on a single level so it will appeal to all demographics. “With the same owners for 15 years, it is really well kept. “With north-east aspect, it’s real little sanctuary.

Completed in March 2020, there are 2.8m ceiling heights and polished concrete flooring throughout including a courtyard. There is a heated pool, and three carparking spaces on the basement level with built-in storage. An advantage of the property is not having direct exposure to the salt breezes but has an easy, flat access to the shops and less than 200m to the beach access. “There has been exceptional interest,’’ Peter said. “We’ve had large numbers at the open homes. “Local buyer interest is very high, as well as Melbourne. “People from throughout South east Queensland are attending the inspections. “There are a lot of well-positioned Brisbane buyers in the market. “We are meeting people of all ages and demographics.’’ Peter also has an auction at 23 Honey Myrtle Rd, Noosa Heads, on August 7. “It’s a great property in an excellent location,’’ he said. “Plantation style with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and double garage.’’ TWO FROM TWO Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate has reported the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 14 Flame Tree Dve, Tewantin, went under contract post auction.

“There is a family of kookaburras so the new owners will inherit an extended family.’’ The house is not original and has been updated over the years. It would suit a beach shack theme with a Hamptons vibe. Keep a watch out for a fresh listing by Lauren and her father Luke Chen on a fabulous waterfront property in Noosa Waters. THAT PEACEFUL RURAL FEELING “It’s a little ripper,’’ Hinternoosa’s Jeanette Catalano said when asked about the three-bedroom, one-bathroom, three-car house on 1.01ha at 30 McPauls Rd, Lake Macdonald. “It’s a really nice block of land … with a northerly slope and so gentle. “It’s lovely to walk up the driveway in the sun.’’ The property, on the outskirts of Cooroy, is scheduled for auction on Wednesday, July 28, at 2pm, in conjunction with Jeanette’s husband Mario. “You could walk it into town,’’ Jeanette said. “It’s a kilometre, if that. “You are surrounded by farmland so it has that rural feeling. “It would be over the fence and out if you were playing cricket in the paddock.’’ The brick and timber house is very neat and tidy, with the family having been there 30 years. It features raked ceilings with exposed timbers in the open-plan living area. Glass sliders connect to the timber verandas. There is the option to build in underneath, where the space is being used for car parking. The land is brown soil, with a dam. There are some lightly treed bush areas and vines. TRANQUILITY ON MOONBEAM Castaways Beach is a popular estate due to the close proximity to the beach and national park. As such, the boutique estate is popular with owner-occupiers. Chrissie Baker at Laguna Real Estate has a four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house on 635sq m at 8 Moonbeam Cres listed for auction at 11am on Friday, July 30. “It’s a fabulous family home,’’ Chrissie said. “A solid home that has been well cared for, in a quiet, private street and three or

Open homes have seen excellent numbers through. “It definitely has fabulous bones. That’s something they all comment on. “And being on one level, with room for a pool. “There is a lovely alfresco area on the northern side, while on the opposite side it flows out to the gardens. “The home has a lovely feel, especially the way it opens up to cathedral ceilings as you move into the heart of the house. “People love the privacy.’’ SOMETHING OF VALUE People who understand the Little Cove property market will realise the value of a two-bedrrom, one-bathroom apartment in a complex of four.

ON THE COVER

PENTHOUSE ROOFTOP WITH POSTCARD VIEWS WHEN the views from the exclusiveuse, over-generous spirit-stirring rooftop terrace, atop a penthouse apartment on Noosa Parade are 360-degrees, dubbing it Noosa Tropicana is appropriate. After all, it is surrounded by and ostensibly floats amongst and above lush sub-tropical greenery and beyond to the Noosa National Park headland. Let the good times roll knowing there is nothing like being spoilt for choice, whether a barbeque lunch under the shade sails, catching a few rays on the sun lounges, or sharing sundowners with friends. And that is just on the rooftop. It is next level quiet luxury reigning within the apartment. It combines a sunny state of mind with function, flair and with three terraces, the clever open-plan design is calibrated to climate and the great outdoors. It totally complements an everyday-is-a-holiday contemporary lifestyle. Extending the dining space is a terrace overlooking the resort’s pool plus a spiral staircase to the rooftop. Off a living/media space is an undercover terrace with both north and westerly aspects. A lounge area opens out on the northerly side to an undercover terrace. It overlooks parkland.

The happening hub is a large kitchen with stone bench tops and breakfast bar, timber-look cabinetry, and every necessary whizz-bang appliance for those with a penchant for entertaining. The three bedrooms are carpeted and have built-in robes. The master bedroom with a bathroom ensuite, opens to the north-facing terrace, two additional bedrooms also access terraces and share a family-size bathroom. The laundry is fully equipped. “If you aspire to investing in a sunkissed penthouse and equally large rooftop oasis with the premier address of Noosa Parade,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday, 7 August 2021, “this is a one-off grand opportunity that has never looked so good.” “The central location too is superb. Nearby is Quamby Place, home to restaurants and cafes, a bottle shop, general store and onwards is Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach, and the Noosa National Park. Turn right out of Tropicana and head to Noosa Village, also Gympie Terrace restaurants and Noosa River activities including boat hire.” ●

PROPERTY NEWS

LISTING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE THE REAL THING OLIVIER MILLER PRINCIPAL LAGUNA REAL ESTATE 0419 472 071

YEARS ago, when I first started out in real estate listing your home simply involved erecting a For Sale sign in front of the property and placing an ad in the local paper. Today it involves so much more with the emphasis being on a strategic marketing and sales campaign. Currently advertising typically includes professional photography and a comprehensive media campaign covering online, social and print media. This usually includes internet listing, a sale board, several ads in the local paper, brochures with a detailed floor plan and a window card display. Some properties can also include a video, 3D tour, national magazines, TV, and radio advertisements. First impressions are critical so the agent in discussion with the seller will point out the best way to present their property to maximise the sale price. This sometimes

JUST LISTED – 10 Honey Myrtle Road, Noosa Heads – Auction Onsite Saturday, 31 July, 11am. View Saturday, 10 - 10.30am, Call Sharon McLure on 0400 084 975. may entail decluttering the property and may also involve moving old furniture out and new furniture in. Presentation is the key! Once your property is advertised there are two options with regards to inspections. The first being a home open

which is a time advertised for prospective buyers to come and view the property. These home opens are usually conducted on Saturdays for 30 to 60 minutes. The agent will record details of all parties who enter the property. The second is an inspection by

appointment which usually is a one-on-one appointment. There are advantages to both methods these being that home opens create a competitive edge whereas private viewings are more intimate and allow more time for detailed discussions in relation to the property. Our team at Laguna Real Estate will always discuss which method suits them best, but no matter which one is used we encourage our sellers not to be present. Here at Laguna Real Estate our agents are trained in conducting 1st class home opens and are well versed on what is required to comply with COVID regulations. We also provide professional brochures detailing information on the property and provide buyers with market analysis on similar properties that have recently sold in the nearby vicinity. This allows buyers to make informed and confident decisions when making an offer on a property. All prospective buyers are followed up and our sellers are given regular feedback to ensure they are always in the loop throughout the whole sale process. If you are thinking of selling now or in the future, contact one of our Laguna Real Estate specialists today who would be happy to personally run you through the listing process. ●
