Community cares By Phil Jarratt “In the time of Covid your geography shrinks and matters regarding the health and needs of your local community and environment come into sharp focus.” Jessica Lewis is talking about the fight she and her neighbours in and around Shields Street, Tewantin have taken up to ensure public access to a special part of their world that they want to restore and preserve. The overgrown and neglected wetlands that make up their lakeside backyard are actually a vital part of the Doonella Wetlands Nature Reserve which drains into one of the most important fish breeding grounds on the Noosa River. Somehow, while other lake and creek fronts around Noosa have been maintained and provided with walkways, the lake frontage adjacent to Shields and Werin Streets seems to have slipped through the cracks. To add insult to injury, local residents who like to watch the sunset over the lake from vantage points above the wetlands, discovered last week that a private landowner at the end of Werin Street had blocked off access to the wetlands through the public reserve, and “trespassers” were warned off. But when community spirit is as strong as it is in this historic part of Tewantin, you should never poke the bear. They came in their dozens, an hour or so before sunset, all with masks, some with dogs or children, to defend their right to public space, however small it might seem to the outside world. Just before dark they were joined by Councillors Amelia Lorentson and Joe Jurisevic who listened to the reasoned pleas to restore vegetation and provide access for all to this special pocket of Tewantin. Cr Lorentson later told Noosa Today: “When a community cares, I care. I love the collaborative attitude of this residents’ group. They’re not asking for a handout, they’re asking us to help them clean up the wetlands and preserve this precious asset, just as we’ve done elsewhere in the shire.” The Shields Street group’s documentation references the Creek Rd Foreshore Walk and Mangrove Boardwalk in Noosaville and the Lake Weyba Foreshore Walkway at Weyba Downs as examples of council’s foreshore restoration and asks them to commit resources for their area before it is too late. Says Jessica: “What’s happening at the mo-

Left unchallenged, the integrity of this public asset will be compromised by landgrabs and the eternal loss of a beautiful space for the public to enjoy. “In addition to the matter of setting up a community bushcare group and ensuring public access, the local community has long advocated in submissions to council for a pathway within the bush reserve extending around the lake from Cranks Creek to Doonella St. Long-time locals within the communities of Shields, Irene and Werin Streets remember when children were able to play by the lake.
“We want everyone to continue to enjoy the same experience.” During last year’s long lockdown, Jessica’s husband, planning consultant Jack Lewis turned foreshore restoration into a Covid project, blazing a path through the overhead weeds. “But it’s more than a one-man job,” he says, carefully guiding this geriatric reporter along the rotting walkway to the edge of the lake. Says Jessica: “We would like to urgently work with council to regenerate the areas above the mangrove line, which includes the magnificent Rhizophora stylosa (spotted mangrove) that flourishes around the north-western shoreline, while providing for appropriate public access along the existing sewer infra-

Picture: ROB MACCOLL structure, and make a scenic amenity of this area of outstanding natural beauty. We want this matter to stop being put in the too hard basket by council officers. By doing nothing, council is effectively providing public foreshore areas to private landowners, rather than the Tewantin community.” Councillors Jurisevic and Lorentson aim to change that to ensure a win for the community and the environment – something that Noosa Shire residents and elected officials have built their reputations on. At the time of writing, councillors were studying a proposed timeline for a shared community and council restoration program to finally erase the “missing link” in Lake Doonella’s foreshore parklands.

Noosa is a popular spot for all types of visitors including a number of teenagers who seem to be attracted by the expensive cars and items they can steal, as our police know only too well. Police have arrested and charged a number of youths for a string of crimes across Noosa and the eastern beaches including armed robbery. They are now awaiting the matters in the children’s court. None of the young people involved are local residents but their crimes do raise questions of the youth justice system which is undergoing reform. Extensive research and hundreds of millions of dollars have gone into the Youth Justice Strategy that focuses on early intervention, giving offenders a safe, supervised places to live, keeping youths out of court and into education, sport or arts and keeping them out of custody which research shows encourages reoffending. Will it work? Guess we’ll find out. In broader news this week, the UN marks World Humanitarian Day, Australia marks Vietnam Veterans Day on the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan and our television screens are filled with images of the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of US troops following Australian troops withdrawal earlier this year, in June. It must be a harsh reminder for those who have experienced war of its ravages and uncertainty for the survivors in the days that follow for their safety, their future and at a time when the world is dealing with a pandemic.

Covid book for kids Arrested A combined police operation led to the arrest of two youths who were charged with a string of criminal offences, including the alleged armed robbery of the Freedom Fuels Service Station, Noosaville on 3 August, and a number of related burglary and stolen vehicle offences at both Noosa Waters and Pelican Waters. Officers from the Logan Tactical Crime Squad and Police Dog Squad apprehended the youths after conducting a search of a dwelling in Woodridge on 10 August. Police allege one of the youths fled the dwelling via a rear bathroom window, prior to being taken into custody by dog squad officers. A 16-year-old Woodridge boy has been charged with 16 offences, including robbery with actual violence, whilst armed and in company, five burglary offences, eight stolen vehicle offences along with stealing and receiving tainted property. A second 16-year-old boy has been charged with 24 offences, including robbery, burglary and commit indictable offence, 10 other burglaries or attempted burglaries, five unlawful use of motor vehicle, enter premise and commit indictable offence, stealing and two fraud offences. Both youths have been remanded in custody and will appear in the Brisbane Children’s Court on 24 September. In addition police have charged an 18-year-old Gympie man, 17-year-old Eatons Hill boy and 15-year-old Boronia Heights boy with a string of burglary and stolen vehicle offences in Sunshine Beach and Peregian Springs in late July. A 28-year-old Kallangur man has been charged and appeared in the Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on 12 August in relation to 14 charges including burglary alternatively receiving stolen property, dangerous conduct with a weapon, serious drugs and weapons charges. The man was taken into custody after a firearm related incident allegedly occurred at Kallangur. Police said investigations into the incident linked it to property from a Sunshine Coast burglary. “We are continuing to gather evidence against a number of other associates also believed responsible for these offences and are confident they too will face prosecution in due course.” Noosa Heads police officer in charge Ben Carroll said.
Returning from a holiday in Brisbane last year, Octavia Bickford’s world was rocked when her mum explained that Australia was in lockdown and she wouldn’t be returning to school any time soon. Then aged seven and in Grade Two, Octavia decided to write a book about it, as you do. Says Mum Debbie: “Octavia is very passionate about reading, writing and art. She always has a book and a pencil in her hand. When she wrote the book last year I said we will put this away and one day you can read it to your children and grandchildren. But then I thought I might help her publish it, so we did!” Octavia’s slim volume, called “The Virus Called Covid-19”, is dedicated “to all those who lost their lives during Covid-19 and to my Nana and Pa. I would also like to thank my Mummy who helped me with getting my first book published.” Reading the 39 pages of heartfelt text and simple illustrations, one gets the feeling it won’t be her last. “I found it sweet and actually quite moving,” says bookseller Annie Grossman of Annie’s Books at Peregian Beach. Which is why she’s stocking it and will soon have Octavia along for a Saturday signing session. The book is also much in demand at Octavia’s school library, with a long waiting list. Octavia finished her book as vaccines were being introduced and the Delta variant didn’t yet have a name, so her conclusion reflects the optimism of childhood rather than the grim realities of winter ’21. She writes: “Finally the scientists finished the Covid-19 vaccine. As quick as a flash Australia bought vaccines and saved Australia. In 2021 we still treasure the day when Australia was vaccinated and protected from Covid-19.” Let’s hope she’s right.

Country’s worst tornado It came from the west without warning. A storm system which viciously transformed itself into a tornado and left three people dead or dying and dozens of others homeless. And after a few minutes of sheer terror for those caught in its path, it had gone, evaporating into the night sky. The date was Saturday 14 August, 1971. Some call it the worst day in Kin Kin’s history. A beautiful young girl and a middle-aged couple were killed. Eight homes were completely destroyed. Dozens of others were damaged. The community was shattered. NICK THOMPSON looks back on the tragedy 50 years ago which sits in the record books as Australia’s deadliest tornado. The day started like any other during midwinter in the Noosa hinterland. Cool with blue skies above the rolling green hills surrounding the little town of Kin Kin. The locals were working in the fields, tending their vegetables and looking after the dairy herds. There were no warnings. This was a time without smart phones and computers, weather radars or emergency broadcasts. Even Mother Nature chose not to send any of its tell-tale signals. The birds kept singing, the sky remained within its normal colour range. Everything was normal. Ray and Vera Grady had been in their bean fields on their Wahpunga Lane farm but had quit for the day when they first noticed the wind had started to build. Along with Vera’s father Harold Petersen they settled down to watch some TV after dinner when, without warning, the power went out. They could hear the wind growing stronger but still thought little of it. Vera’s father decided to drive back to his own home. He returned shortly after. He’d come up against a tangle of power lines and roof sheets on the ground and realised it was too dangerous to continue. Not far away, neighbour Mavis Cochrane remembers her husband Alan having to press his weight across a door which kept blowing open. Arland Ussher recalls: “We lost power on Moran Group Road very early in the evening. The storm did last for a reasonable time as a rain storm but with the tin roof we couldn’t really hear much more than that. “While it was a ‘wild storm’ we did not think more of it than that.” For all of these long-term locals, the storm seemed no worse than countless others they had all experienced before. But as they lay in their beds, they had no idea that only a few hundred metres away their friends and neighbours were dying and whole houses were being smashed and torn apart. It’s one of the cruelest acts of any tornado. The random nature of the violently twisting black funnel carving its way through anything in its path but leaving other objects only a handful of metres away virtually untouched. And so it was in and around the northern districts of Kin Kin that night.
Tornado path (Google maps) A Storm With Unimaginable Ferocity The first anybody knew of the disaster was when the first survivors of the tornado began to emerge from the dark. Most of them were in a total state of shock. Their clothes had been torn off, bones were broken, and some were covered in blood. The late Henry Treichel recalled afterwards: “We’d had a very rough storm and I had just gone to bed ... when a light came up the hill. “It was the two Lister boys - John and Fred. Both were injured and in deep shock. We got them inside and put some clothes on John and a blanket around Fred. “They said our houses have been blown away. “I put them in my station wagon and when we got to the bottom of the hill, John, who was coming out of shock, said: ‘We never found the baby Mr Treichel’. A Beautiful Child “I did a quick double take. The wives were in shelter so the first priority had to be the baby. I knew this child, she was a beautiful child. “Fred’s home was completely wrecked ... there were no two boards nailed together. Utter devastation. It was still raining lightly with hail and our only light to help in the search was from a torch with a flat battery and the flickering lightning. “After 10 minutes or so looking I found the little girl who was still alive though nearly frozen “I called the boys who were further down the hill and Fred wrapped her in his blanket.
Moran Group Road after the tornado (in Gympie Times) I carried her as Fred had a broken collar bone. “The station wagon had become hopelessly bogged so we had to walk along the main road. Eventually the survivors came across another neighbour with a ute who took them into Kin Kin before an ambulance carried them on to hospital. The little girl, Deborah Joy Lister, was just 13 months old. She died in Gympie Hospital
the next day. Her parents, Fred and Pam Lister, were both badly injured and were also admitted, along with Beverley Lister. Vera Grady still struggles to talk about the death of Debbie Lister, the beautiful little girl she remembers dressed in pink at a party only a week before the tornado. The memories are still raw, even after 50 years.

Destructive Path The storm developed somewhere west of Gympie earlier in the evening, strengthening as it made its way towards the coast. As it crossed the Woondum Range, the high ridge of hills between Gympie and Noosa, it dramatically intensified, callously creating the deadly tornado within. While it struck in the dark, the tornado’s track through the fields and forests could be easily seen the next day. It had ploughed a wide furrow running parallel to the Kin Kin Creek and through the Wahpunga district. Everything in its path had been destroyed. Then it had crossed another low-lying ridge east of Moran Group Road before tearing into the Buckley Road area, where it smashed through the two houses owned by the Lister brothers, Fred and John, on their shared property. In its final major destructive act, it completely capsized the home of dairy farmer Des Robinson, rolling the house down a hill where it came to rest against a tree. Trail Of Destruction Today, Moran Group Road is a meandering
leafy lane with none of the scars wreaked by the tornado left visible after 50 years of regrowth. The damaged houses have been replaced or repaired, the trees are back. But on the morning of August 15th 1971, the residents emerged from their homes to find a landscape they could barely recognise. Bryant Ussher, only 10 years old at the time, remembers his family’s house at the southern end of Moran Group Road was untouched by the storm during the night. But when he walked out with his father Arland the next morning, they soon realised they were entering a disaster zone which began only a few metres from their own front gate. “It looked like a couple of [bull]dozers had gone up the hillside with a chain between them and just cleared a road. It was so clearly defined where the storm had gone through,” Bryant recalls. A huge fig tree had been completely stripped bare on one side but left wholly intact on the other. Arland Ussher recalls meeting a neighbour, Jim Warren, who asked him to get his tractor to help clear the fallen trees and debris. One of the first properties they reached be-

longed to Bill Fleet (58) and his wife Dorothy (56). Their house had been completely demolished and it was only after a search that their bodies were found 30 metres away. To the south, Ray and Vera Grady emerged from their home and walked up into the fields to see how their crops had fared. They still had no idea of the enormity of the disaster just a few hundred metres away. Then Ray looked across the valley and realised something was wrong. And then it hit him - the Fleets’ house was missing. Henry Treichel recalled: “They were a popular couple and the people who found them the next day said they never had a chance.“ Des Robinson was among the luckiest of the tornado survivors. Mr Robinson, a dairy farmer, had taken shelter in the laundry as all the windows in the house began to smash. After that he remembered being hit on the head by a washing machine as the entire building was lifted off its base and flipped completely over. He was thrown out into the garden where he was able to find shelter behind a water tank. In a stroke of fortune, Mr Robinson’s wife and two sons were away for the weekend.
Along with a number of others in the district, they had gone to Brisbane where the Ekka was in full swing. The Aftermath For those who did survive, new challenges awaited. Many had lost everything they owned and had no insurance. This was a storm with long lasting consequences, even for those who survived.The state government made $500 payments to a handful - a payout equivalent to less than $6000 today. Debbie Lister now lies in Pomona Cemetery. A simple headstone states she was accidentally killed on the 15th of August 1971 - the date on which she succumbed to her injuries in Gympie Hospital. The Fleets are buried together near other family members in the Balmoral Cemetery on the south side of Brisbane.The Kin Kin Community Group delivered floral tributes to the final resting places of the victms last Saturday, the 50th anniversary of the tragedy. Each had a photograph of the Kin Kin hills and the simple message: “Taken from us 50 years ago but Kin Kin will never forget. Rest in Peace.“

Move for Lex By Abbey Cannan The strength of a Noosa triathlete recovering from a horrific cycling accident has inspired a movement across the nation. Alexa Leary, 20, has spent weeks fighting for her life after her usual morning ride at Pomona left her with major brain damage, a fractured scapula, ribs, shoulder blade and wrist, a major knee injury and a collapsed lung. The traumatic crash on 17 July took place after Alexa unfortunately clipped the wheel of a cyclist in front of her and came off at high speeds of over 65kms and landed on her head. Her dad, Russell, was about 15 minutes behind her on the bike and upon arriving at the scene described her as unrecognisable. The ambulance raced her to Sunshine Coast hospital where she was soon helicoptered to Brisbane Royal Hospital and has been ever since. Alexa’s sister, Madison Lee, said every day has been different throughout Alexa’s recovery journey. “She is doing okay. We’re just so grateful that she is here with us,” Madison said. “I think when we posted the photos, I feel like a lot of people look at them and think ’Oh she looks really good’, and sure she looks so much better than she did when we first saw her, but when you actually go in and spend time with her, it’s clear really quickly that this is going to be a really long journey and she’s got a long way to go. “A lot of people who have been in this situation have said there’s going to be good days and bad days and you just have to appreciate the good days when they come and work through the bad days. “She is an absolute champion to have survived multiple surgeries, and to have even made it to the Brisbane hospital given the condition she was in, is honestly remarkable.” The positivity and support from people

I had this crazy idea that we should just ask people to hashtag ‘Move for Lex’ and see if anybody gets involved’. “Within the first 24 hours, it went nuts and I couldn’t believe how many people were getting involved. I messaged my family and said this should have its own account. “We set it up and the response has been massive.” The Move For Lex Instagram account now has more than 23,000 followers and has been

Bravery award for Jack By Abbey Cannan A former Noosa Heads lifesaver has been commended for brave conduct for his actions during the rescue of a woman from rough surf at Peregian Beach. Marcoola resident Jack Mohr, 20, said he felt honoured after being recognised through the Australian Bravery Decorations. Then aged 16 years, Jack and a friend, both off-duty surf lifesavers, were walking along Peregian Beach when they saw a woman struggling in difficult surf conditions about 100 metres from shore. At about 4.30pm on 18 February 2018, another person had entered the water in attempt to reach the woman but the conditions forced him back. While his friend alerted emergency services, Jack swam into the hazardous surf to reach
the woman, who was caught in a strong rip. When he reached the distressed woman, she was having difficulty keeping afloat and was being swamped by large waves. “I dragged her across and out of the rip and then back on to the sand bank,“ Jack said. “At the time I was doing a lot of training with Noosa Heads Surf Club, so I was doing four sessions a week in the pool and I think about six in the surf, so I was pretty confident in the water. “I went on to become a lifeguard for a little while there afterwards as well.“ Jack said he felt appreciative of the recognition. “I think it’s also a recognition of everyone else who contributed to my training at the time and gave me the skills to be able to do that,“ he said.

Masterplan sees trail network updated to world class By Margaret Maccoll A new name, extended connections from the coast to the hinterland and ties with local facilities aims to transform the Noosa Trail Network, now the Noosa Biosphere Trail, into a world class destination. A report on the progress of the trail’s masterplan implementation was raised at Noosa Council’s General Meeting on Monday, with councillor Brian Stockwell saying a recent visit he’d made summed up its value. People are coming to us, looking for these experiences, he said. You see all sorts - horse riders, walkers or mountain bike enthusiasts going past at a rate of knots, enjoying nature as you can for an extended period of time.
The Noosa Trail Masterplan was developed by Tourism Noosa with funding from the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation to improve the network of 103km of trails and provide greater opportunities for users. The change of name to Noosa Biosphere Trail was determined by a stakeholder reference group that was formed last November with representatives from Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa, Landcare, business organisations, outdoor tourism and adventure groups, horse riders, bushwalkers, mountain bike riders and canoeists. The new name gives the trails international recognition and also ties in with with a recent Tourism Noosa campaign, Enter the Biosphere, an officer told the meeting.
He said concerns raised by horse riders that horses had been excluded from the trails had been allayed and signage would be improved and updated to meet current standards. The stakeholder group has raised a number of possibilities for the trail network. They have held discussions with the Kabi Kabi traditional owners on the possible use of Indigenous names for sections of the network. Tourism Noosa has developed a Village Map to guide residents and visitors to local businesses such as accommodation, dining, events and other village offerings which form part of the trail experience. There are also a number of other events that utilise all or part of the trail network such as the Noosa Enduro, the Noosa Strade
Bianche bike event, King of the Mountain MTB event and the Kin Kin Horse Ride. In addition a number of commercial operators offer tours and adventure activities. Another recommendation of the Noosa Trail Masterplan is to investigate funding models to manage the trail network that crosses mostly Council land, but also National Park and private land with the current annual council budget of $120,000 considered insufficient to manage the current trail or an expanded one. New trail facilities planned for town centres include information signs, bike racks and additional parking where required and it is anticipated that work will begin at Pomona and Cooran.

WE’RE VACCINATED, ARE YOU? NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
Heroes lead Covid jabs Local heroes including politicians, sport stars, business owners, emergency workers and volunteers are lining up for their Covid vaccination and encouraging others to do the same. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has issued a plea for Noosa residents to get vaccinated. The call comes as council and Noosa Today form a partnership to launch a community campaign to encourage as many locals as possible to book a Covid vaccination. Cr Stewart, who received her first Covid vaccination last week at Sunny Street clinic at Tewantin, said our best defence against the virus was for people to get vaccinated. “The staff at Sunny Street vaccination hub are doing a wonderful job and are really helpful in providing detailed information about the vaccine,” she said. “Getting vaccinated is our way out of Covid and protects our loved ones, community and businesses. “If we want to return to ’normal’, a large percentage of our population is required to be vaccinated, so I call on everyone to join me in the fight to get our community back on its feet.” Cr Stewart hoped putting local community faces to the vaccination program would be a catalyst to increasing vaccination rates in Noosa. “With more cases of the Delta variant emerging, we need to guard against complacency and we’re relying on everyone to do their bit.” The We’re vaccinated - Are you? campaign has been joined by Olympic legend Dawn Fraser, Noosa businessman Ralph Rogers, Noosa Police Senior Sergeant Ben Carroll, QFES Station Officer Rob Frey, Barb Sheriff from Tewantin Traders Association and many more. Noosa’s professional triathlete Belinda Granger is proud endorses the campaign. “I say, don’t think about doing it for yourself, do it for the greater good of the Noosa

“This wouldn’t be possible without the support of those who agreed to be part of it,” she said. “There is some hesitancy in the community about vaccinations, so we just hope this community inspired campaign will motivate residents to make a booking and regain control

Video shows dingo moves By Rose Astley The Department of Environment and Science (DES) have released world-first footage downloaded from a camera worn by a Fraser Island dingo (wongari). If you have ever wondered how a dingo spends their time, this footage has the answer. According to the series of videos collected, a Fraser Island dingo eats midgym berries, goes for long walks in the bush and on the beach, visits a township and spends plenty of time with his mate. Ranger in charge Linda Behrendorff said the tracking collar captures 30 seconds of footage every 15 minutes and provided crucial insight into the movements of wongari around the island. “The camera and tracking collar, developed by LOTEK, has uncovered the secret lives of wongari on K’gari (Fraser Island),” Ms Behrendorff said. “This is superb footage and shows us where the wongari goes, how and where he finds food and water and gives us an intimate view of the time he spends with his mate. “For almost a month, the camera collar captured footage of the wongari and tracked him travelling hundreds of kilometres throughout the northern part of the island. “We can see him and his mate loitering at the Orchid Beach township and being photographed by residents or visitors. “There’s a scene where he’s eating berries in the bush and fish on the beach and another scene where he’s eating alongside his mate in bushland. “The vision shows the wongari and his mate high in the dunes and looking down on the beach, running through the bush, around inland water bodies, along the tracks and waking up in the morning together. “We have never seen anything like this before, and it shows that wongari are oppor-

time, which allows rangers to track it and retrieve it. “Since 2011, QPWS have regularly used tracking collars on K’gari regularly to monitor the movements of wongari to help us develop better management programs, including people management. “The use of tracking collars is approved by an independent Animal Ethics Committee, and they are used around the world to assist wildlife authorities to manage animal/human interactions.” QPWS remains committed to working closely with the Butchulla Peoples in the management of K’gari’s iconic wongari and its World Heritage renowned natural and cultural values.
Visitors to K’gari are reminded to be dingosafe at all times: Young children must be kept within arm’s reach at all times. Walk in groups. Camp in fenced areas where possible. Do not run. Running or jogging can trigger a negative dingo interaction. Never feed dingoes. Never store food or food containers in tents. Secure all rubbish, fish and bait. Walk with a stick.

Second AED at Tea Tree By Phil Jarratt Following two possibly avoidable deaths at Tea Tree Bay this year, Noosa World Surfing Reserve this week installed a second defibrillator station within the National Park, thanks to the generosity of a group of local surfers and business people. Rob and Charity Warburton, along with friends Adrian and Sonya Stephenson from Noosa Van Lines and Jahna Pearce from Coastal Dry Cleaners and Launderers, funded the new AED (automated external defibrillator), supplied by BCR Medical and installed at the Tea Tree amenities block by senior ranger Eugene Craddock. The World Surfing Reserve and BCR installed the first defibrillator at the Noosa Parks Association kiosk earlier in the year, and with negotiations underway for a third station in the park near Granite and Alexandria Bay, the coastal walk and adjacent surf breaks will be safer for surfers and all park users. When Noosa Heads Surf Club installs its three donated defib stations along Main Beach and West Beach in the near future, the entire coastline of the World Surfing Reserve will have a new layer of protection, enabling more first responders to reach victims of cardiac arrest inside the vital three minutes when lives can be saved. Rob Warburton told Noosa Today that he and wife Charity first started thinking about funding the NWSR defibrillator campaign after two close friends had heart attacks while surfing earlier this year. “Then, not long after, we heard about the two people who died at Tea Tree because there wasn’t a defibrillator close enough, and decid-

Seeing the actual defibrillator going in has made it real for all of us, and the directional signage is really important too, because people need to be made aware of where they are.” With the surf beaches’ defibrillator program nearing completion, the Noosa World Surfing Reserve is now planning a major awareness campaign to be rolled out over the summer.
Covid cash flow relief measures announced Noosa Council has introduced a raft of immediate cash flow relief measures to ease the impact of the ongoing Covid uncertainty. The rates discount period has been extended to 17 September with ratepayers also having the option of deferring rate payments until the end of the year through an agreed payment arrangement. Mayor Clare Stewart said the targeted measures would provide much needed relief to residents and local businesses. “We are facing a rapidly changing environment and it’s important we respond quickly with appropriate measures to ease the burden,” she said. “This is the first stage of a tailored relief package and further measures would be put in place if required.” Council is also deferring the payment of outstanding Health Licence renewals and Footpath Dining permits until 31 December, 2021. Cr Stewart said the ongoing pandemic and lockdowns continued to have an impact on our community and business sector. “These initial measures will allow ratepayers to pay their rates based on an amount that suits their individual circumstances without incurring any penalty interest,” “We encouraged landlords in particular to consider staging their rate payments until December 31 and pass on the cash flow relief to their business tenants where possible. “Councillors are determined to provide as much support as we can without impacting service levels to our community.”
Mayor Clare Stewart said the targeted measures would provide much needed relief to residents and local businesses. Acting Director of Environment and Sustainable Development Anthony Dow said the response provided much needed cash flow relief for many businesses. “The rate deferrals complement a raft of other support measures in place such as free business advice, free government grant writing support and access to a mentoring program delivered by Business Mentoring Noosa,” he said. “We are continually talking to our business associations to explore other options to provide tailored business support solutions in the current economic climate,” Mr Dow said.

Property media harmony Is the data economy confusing, social media overrated and print media in decline? What about all those platforms and how can we turn insights into action especially when it comes to understanding property marketing? When News Corp announced the closure of print edition newspapers in Queensland in 2020, there was outcry in the community, especially from those who relied heavily on the printed word for valuable information, community engagement and a marketing platform. Many readers are not digitally connected or savvy, while others just prefer to consume news and local happenings as hard copy. Noosa Today, one of 30 mastheads included in the independent Star News Group, became that much-needed voice for residents by providing quality news and views for the Noosa region. It also became critical to the local democracy, holding the powerful to account. Paul Thomas, managing director of the group said “Noosa Today distributes 22,350 printed copies weekly, or approximately 90,000 copies monthly and 1,162,200 per annum. “The majority of newspapers are homedelivered and read by several members of the household. “With 2677 digital edition subscribers and over 40,000 weekly, from Queensland, Victoria and NSW, overall readership figures increase exponentially.” In property marketing, the value of print advertising cannot be overstated. Some real estate agents are telling sellers that all buyers and potential sellers, will see the property on the internet, but that is far from the truth. “They are missing opportunities which could be costing those sellers dearly,” explained Tom Offermann, eponymous real estate company principal.

The numbers at open houses can quadruple when an ad appears … the traffic to websites clearly spikes as readers head there for more information” “We gather an enormous amount of data which dramatically demonstrates how powerful print media is. “The numbers at open houses can quadruple when an ad appears in Noosa Today, and the traffic to websites clearly spikes as readers head there for more information. “Property editorials, auction results and up-to-the-minute stories in early general news, are also invaluable.” Tom Offermann, who has been marketing Noosa property for 30 years, is completely candid about which advertising works and what is
a waste of money. “A tailored marketing campaign is an investment to ultimately achieve the best outcome, and the return on your investment to be many times its cost. “Marketing is not the place to take shortcuts if you are aiming for a premium price, and advertising in the local newspaper is inexpensive. “I feel sorry for property owners who have been advised to solely advertise on the web. “It would be nice if it was that simple, but the truth is it is not.
“A lot of work goes into designing and running a comprehensive marketing campaign and agents who think web-only advertising is the quick fix are taking risks with their client’s investment.” Social media is a runaway success story. YouTube currently has most properties achieving at least 1000 views, some up to 10,000, and around 40,000 views a month. Tom Offermann Real Estate has 4000 subscribers, 1.1m views as well as 4500 Instagram followers. Window displays focussing on available properties are also advantageous. Interest piqued outside an office and, one step later, they are sitting indoors with an agent discussing real estate. “It is not until after every potential property marketing source for buyers is accurately explored that sellers can be confident, they will achieve the best price,” concluded Tom Offermann.

Research eyes on whales USC researchers are using advanced genetic sequencing and aerial drones in a study aimed at providing new insights into Australia’s humpback whales and the sharks that prey on them. The three-year research project will also investigate the climate change challenges facing humpback whales and focus on the thousands of whales that deviate each year from their southern seasonal migration along Australia’s east coast into the waters of Hervey Bay. Timed for the start of this year’s whale watching season, the researchers have begun boat-based surveys and using remote aerial drones to monitor seasonal fluctuations in numbers, record whale behaviour and capture interactions between the giant marine mammals and sharks. Fraser Coast Regional Council is supporting the research through a $26,000 grant to USC PhD student Manda Peterson, administered by the Hervey Bay Whale Heritage Site Steering Committee and Fraser Coast Tourism and Events. Ms Petersen is conducting the study under the supervision of USC marine ecologists Dr Bonnie Holmes and Dr Kathy Townsend. Ms Peterson said understanding the impacts of predators, gene flow and the social structure of the humpbacks was vital to ensure the survival and longevity of the whale population in Hervey Bay, recently named the world’s first Whale Heritage Site. “Given the global recognition of the importance of these iconic animals to Hervey Bay and incidental reports of whale numbers being lower than typical during the 2020 season, more current and comprehensive research on the visiting whales is needed,” she said. Due to their massive size, humpback whales have few natural predators other than great white sharks, tiger sharks and orcas, known as killer whales. “There is a general assumption that when

Over a 10-week period during the next three whale migration seasons, the research team will also compare and combine abundance estimates with historical records and environmental data to identify trends, track any ma-

jor anomalies and identify possible mitigation measures. They will also investigate the genetic diversity of the whale population by collecting sloughed skin samples left behind in the water during more energetic activities such as fin slapping and breaching. Dr Holmes said last year Hervey Bay whale watch operators indicated a below-average number of humpback whale sightings, while an increase was reported from Moreton Bay. “We want to know why this happened,” she said. “A focus will be on climate change factors such as water temperature, changes in currents and food availability that could contribute to a decline of the mammals and lead to shifts in range and migration patterns,” Dr Holmes said. Fraser Coast tourism and events general
manager Martin Simons said the whale watching industry was a vital contributor to regional tourism, and monitoring and maintaining the health of the visiting humpbacks would help ensure its long-term sustainability. “Whale watching ticket sales generate between $6 million and $7 million each season, and with additional industrial and impact, the annual value to the region is between $10 million and $12 million,” he said. The study will expand on extensive research conducted for over two decades in the region by Dr Wally Franklin and Dr Trish Franklin through the Oceania Project and will compare the new genetic material with about 1400 historical samples. Ms Peterson was involved with dolphin research and monitoring for the Northern Territory and West Australian governments before moving to USC’s Fraser Coast campus to complete her PhD. She was recently awarded a $64,000 Destination Australia Scholarship towards the cost of her studies as part of an Australian Government scheme to encourage more people to study in regional areas.

Isabella fights ageism Shocked by age discrimination and intimidation after returning to the Sunshine Coast, Isabella Dusi has rejected any possibility she was an old mare put out to paddock and is bent on changing ageist attitudes. “I’m an edgy septuagenarian and reject branding as an older Australian with nothing to offer,” she said. “Refusing to let others diminish my value I am fighting back.” Moving back to the coast a few years ago, Isabella never imagined she would be faced with discrimination and subject to “saccharin branding”. “After a career in business I was told by a financial advisor to slip into oblivion, take the pension and keep my head down; ignoring my achievements and skills, he relegated me of no value to anyone in my elder years,” she said. “I am patronisingly called honeybun, dearie, sweetie and my love by strangers who seem to think that as I have reached a certain age they can safely assume I am brain-dead. Not only shop assistants, but professionals diminish me with thoughtless branding and words.” Isabella said her treatment did not reflect on her extensive international career across London, America, Italy and Australia. “To claim my value, I decided to be courageous and step out boldly, using my lifetime of accomplishments and skill to educate and inspire. Taking a good long look at the skills garnered over a lifetime, more than three score and 10, I realised that I had the opportunity to retool skills. “Everyone has personal skills which can be retooled, and mine provide me with credibil-

Isabella Duci speaking at Capitol Hill, USA ity, which I am determined to use in a later-inlife career.” Isabella studied art and history in Italy and, with that knowledge, led hundreds of cultural and lifestyle tours across Italy and France, as well as Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, and Morocco and Croatia that led her to become a recognised storyteller and an international speaker. To do that she learnt the language and read Italian history. Having lived 24 years in Europe, she is retooling her skills.
“I see an opportunity for action on two fronts. I have opened an Italian Language Conversation group, retooling my language skill, and every second week I provide a venue to practice and speak the Italian language,” she said. “With a repertoire of 20-plus art, history and political stories spanning a couple of thousand years, travel stories from my career as a cultural leader, I asked myself, are there not people wanting to keep learning? I can tell the story
of a Sputnik in Paradise and the Myth of the Sicilian Mafia. I’ll challenge people to ask where the Longbeards came from, and where the Etruscans went! I have so many stories; What was the Renaissance really all about? Is Venice even real? and I take people on an investigation of Eroticism in Art of the 1500’s - and how to read the message in a work of art. “How about finding out how to buy a house in Italy? I bought and restored two of them.” Isabella’s Italian Language Conversation group meets every second week in Noosaville, and this month begins storytelling and illustrated presentations to be held at the Noosa Surf Museum, 3 Hilton Terrace, Tewantin.For more information email isabelladusi039@ gmail.com or visit italydreaming.com.au
Leonie’s Life with Lyme Organic gardening teacher and author Leonie Shanahan will launch her second book, a candid account of overcoming a devastating health diagnosis, at Fresh Holistic Health on Sunday 29 August. Special guest, Gardening Australia’s Costa Georgiadis will be live streaming from Sydney for the event, and Leonie will be joined in person by naturopath and author of Lyme Natural, Amina Eastham-Hillier, and president of the Lyme Disease Association of Australia, Sharon Whiteman. Lyme disease Sucks: the trauma, the truth and the triumph, offers readers an intimate glimpse into surviving life with a life-changing chronic disease. Find out how Leonie triumphed over an everchanging list of debilitating symptoms, all while trying to be a mum to two daughters and attempting to maintain both her career and beautiful Sunshine Coast permaculture property. Leonie generously shares the health hacks that helped, as well as the wisdom she gained on her journey. Long before her symptoms escalated, Leonie was planting the seeds of healthy Sunshine Coast communities by establishing the
Edible School Gardens program, working at many schools including Eumundi State School. Serendipitously, the publishing of Lyme disease Sucks marks the 10-year anniversary of her career-defining book Eat Your Garden: Organic Gardening for Home and Schools and accompanying DVD Edible School Gardens. Dedicated to giving back to those who are still struggling, Leonie will donate $1 from every book sale to the Lyme Disease Association of Australia. “Now that I have my life back, my driving purpose is to help others to get well and stay well,” she said.

Snake warning By Abbey Cannan
Noosa snake catcher Luke Huntley with a 5.5ft Red Bellied black snake he caught in a roof in Cooroy earlier this year.
As snake breeding season approaches, Noosa snake catcher Luke Huntley reminds the community of exactly what to watch out for. Luke said snake breeding season is roughly between September and November, where male snakes will travel great distances to find the females. “They often merge at the same time and then fight over the female for the right to mate with her,“ he said. “These boys entwine around each other and try to knock the other boy’s head down as they twist and thrash at each other.“ Luke said it can look very rough and the
complete opposite to mating. “So when you see snakes entwined around each other, they could be mating or fighting,“ he said. “Fighting is fast and often looks pretty violent as you might expect. Snakes mating is very slow and gentle. “The male and female snake entwine around each other and gently roll around and it looks like they are pulsing. “The two behaviours are very different and once you know the difference, it’s very hard not to know which is which.“ Luke said when you see male snakes having a fight, the female is often close nearby. “I get a lot of calls for noises of banging and
thumping in the roof leading into breeding season,“ he said. “This is most often boys smashing around fighting over a girl in your roof. So, if you’ve got a female python up there, some snakes will form mating balls.“ Luke said mating balls were formed when a bunch of males attempt to mate with one female. “Tree snakes and Keelbacks are an example of this. But for most species it’s the fight for the right to mate,“ he said. “So the snakes are coming out again and I’ll be very busy soon, so keep an eye out. I’m available 24/7, if you need me, call 0499 920 290.“
Koala fence funding Koala protection on the Sunshine Coast and surrounds has received a $5m State Government boost. The fencing funding will cover the Department of Transport and Main Road (TMR) North Coast Region, which stretches from Strathpine in the south to Pomona in the north, and west to Fernvale, Esk and Toogoolawah and surrounding areas. This $5 million will support more regular inspections and maintenance of existing koala exclusion fencing in TMR’s North Coast Region. TMR Minister Mark Bailey said, in some instances, trees close to the fence may need to be removed to prevent koalas using them to climb over the fence and onto the road. “To provide the clear zone, maintenance works will include clearing vegetation, trimming overhanging tree branches and spraying weeds growing on fences,” Mr Bailey said. “A clear zone along the fence line is needed to ensure its effectiveness and keep koalas safe, now and into the future. “TMR crews started removing vegetation encroaching on the koala exclusion fence on the Bruce Highway between the Pine River and Caboolture back in May. “This additional funding will allow them to inspect and repair fencing where needed across a wider area, with some sections requiring urgent attention already identified. “Our crews have started vegetation maintenance and repair works on the koala exclusion fencing on the Bruce Highway around Cooroy, Noosa, Pomona and Federal.” Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the extra funding for koala fence maintenance follows work by the department and TMR to trial koala shields, which are metal guards affixed to posts, along the M1 motorway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. “These shields prevent the claws of koalas and other nocturnal wildlife from gaining purchase on the poles. “This trial delivered very promising results. Not a single koala was able to climb past the shields and in a bonus result, a possum also tried and was unsuccessful,” Minister Scanlon said. “It adds to a number of environmental initiatives as part of our roads investment on the Sunshine Coast, like new fauna underpasses as part of the Bruce Highway upgrade between Caloundra Road and the Sunshine Motorway.“

BACK TO NATURE ABC TV, 8pm
Now is the perfect time to get back to nature. This heartfelt series, fronted by Aaron Pedersen (Jack Irish) and writer Holly Ringwald (pictured), is guided by our First Nations people’s principle that the earth is a living breathing spirit to which we are all intimately connected. It’s refreshing, eye-opening and certainly a salve for our current worries. Tonight, Aaron and Holly are in South Australia. In the Mount Lofty Ranges, they meet elder Uncle Mickey O’Brien.
SATURDAY
ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL 7MATE, 7.30pm
FRIDAY This manga adaptation was first announced in 2003 as a project for filmmaker James Cameron, but it took almost two decades for performance capture technologies to catch up to the Titanic director’s dream of a fully computergenerated lead character. Director Robert Rodriguez and actress Rosa Salazar (Bird Box, above) eventually gave life to the titular cyborg through motion-capture. Scientist Dr Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz) discovers the cyborg lying in a scrapyard and revives her, naming her Alita after his late daughter. Despite Ido’s concerns about her safety, Alita takes to the streets of her post-apocalyptic home, determined to use her prodigious fighting skills to take on corrupt authorities.
THE LIVING ROOM TEN, 7.30pm
As four very unlikely fairy godmothers, straight-talking host Amanda Keller, DIY master Barry Du Bois, energetic chef Miguel Maestre (pictured) and handsome vet Dr Chris Brown have taken to transforming both homes and hearts with their weekly makeovers. Tonight, they’re turning their magic touch to a jaded working woman in need of some inspiration. In a stunning Cinderella-like metamorphosis, the team will revitalise her wardrobe, restyle her hair and turn her apartment into a palace fit for a princess. Barry’s weekly DIY project takes a wave of his magic wand (read: grout applicator) and some bathroom tiles, to turn a very ordinary coffee table into a trendy piece of decor.
So much – or is it so little? – happens on The Block during each week of renovations that you could be forgiven for being distracted by the contestants’ apparent love of frequenting plumbing suppliers, the growing bags under their eyes or the smart soundtrack picked to enliven the tediousness of painting walls. That’s the beauty of the Sunday reveal: you get the shenanigans in a nutshell, and finally a clear gander at what the contestants were (or weren’t) working towards for the past week. Tonight, the teams’ bathrooms are unveiled to judges Neale Whitaker (left), Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. Find out who sinks and who swims. Neale Whitaker is a judge on The Block

E-bike effect study Noosa Shire Council has a vision of an efficient, free-flowing, innovative transport system that enhances resident and visitor experiences which would result in sustainable environmental outcomes. Promotion of electric bikes (e-bikes) amongst a broader cycling-based behaviour change will be the focus of Renee Black’s talk at the next Friday Environment Forum at the NPA Environment Centre on 27 August 27. Dr Carina Anderson will join Renee Black to report on research undertaken at CQUniversity that assessed the potential for e-bikes to reduce commuter car travel in the Noosa Shire and to assess the health and wellbeing impacts related to e-bike usage. In this study 20 participants were given
e-bikes to use for a 12-week period. Pre- and post-intervention health checks were undertaken, and participants were interviewed to gain insight into their experiences of using the e-bikes. Keen to learn more about how Noosa Council aims to improve Noosa for electric bikers and cyclists as a whole? Are you interested in the experiences of people who have used ebikes as their main transport option? Come along to the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville, where the forum starts at 10:30am and coffee is available at 10 am. Entry is $5 by ‘tap & go’ at the door. Registration is essential and the link is available at noosaparks.org.au

Biosphere Awards The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) has launched a new annual awards program to celebrate environmental and sustainability excellence in the Noosa Shire, with entries now open. “The Noosa Biosphere Awards are about recognising those making a difference in our community who are championing environmental and sustainability innovation and excellence,” NBRF executive coordinator Sharon Wright said. “Noosa has a strong track record of protecting our precious natural environment and progressing towards a sustainable future. We really want to give everyone the chance to share in this celebration of our community and environment - it’s what makes Noosa a great place to live and visit.” There are four categories covering land, water, wildlife, and people and economy with two categories already securing high profile sponsors. “We’re proud to announce Tourism Noosa and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) have come on board as award sponsors this year. We would also love to connect with other local businesses interested in sponsoring a Noosa Biosphere Award or supporting our Wild Koala Gala,” Ms Wright said. IFAW Oceania regional director Rebecca Keeble said the Wildlife Award Category sponsorship greatly aligned with IFAW’s values and brand. “The future of Australia’s unique and precious wildlife is under threat. We can all play a part in ensuring their survival which is why it’s so important to recognise the incredible individuals, organisations and brands dedicated to protecting them. We look forward to celebrating these inspirational efforts and hope it encourages others to do all they can to ensure that animals and people thrive together into the future,” Ms Keeble said. Tourism Noosa’s chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said the Noosa community was ready for an awards program like this. “The Noosa Biosphere Awards are a great opportunity to not only appreciate those who are contributing to a sustainable future, but I believe it will also motivate others to appreciate and care for our diverse environment. I’m very excited to be able to celebrate our wonderful Noosa Biosphere status,” she said Entries are open to individuals, businesses, community and charitable groups, collaborations or partnerships within the Noosa Shire and may include a product, service or project. “The Noosa Biosphere Awards are a great way to celebrate your achievements and be recognised for your contribution. We’re looking to hear from entrants who can demonstrate innovation, creativity, community collaboration, leadership and entrepreneurship in tackling key sustainability challenges such as climate change, biodiversity conservation, waste management and enhancing social capital,” Ms Wright said. “Anyone can nominate an individual, business or organisation.” Winners will be announced at the Noosa Biosphere Wild Koala Gala on Tuesday 2 November.

Push to extend bike path Sunshine Butterflies participant and enthusiastic bike rider Bree Johnson is petitioning to get the bike and walking path from Tewantin to Lake Cooroibah extended approximately 1.7km to Silverwood Drive, Cooroibah. The extended path would create greater access for people of all abilities to walk or cycle from Tewantin to one of Noosa’s largest organisations and disability support services, Sunshine Butterflies. Sunshine Butterflies supports more than 150 people living with disability in the Noosa Shire, employs over 100 staff and has a team of 30 dedicated volunteers. Multiple community groups, schools and community members also access Sunshine Butterflies ‘Our Backyard’ facility daily. Bree Johnson said, “The extended bike/ walking path will be great for people that access Sunshine Butterflies services, programs and activities and would encourage bike riding and walking in the area for people of all abilities.” “Having the bike/walking path would be great as people would be able to ride safely around the area without having to worry about the big trucks that use McKinnon drive regularly. “Bike riding is my main mode of transport and without proper paths it makes it very difficult to get around. “Without the proposed bike path, the challenges of riding between Tewantin and Sunshine Butterflies community facility ‘Our Backyard’ and surrounding areas are going to remain. “I would love to see the bike path extended so that myself and others can safely ride around the area.” Community Development Sunshine Butterflies Lucy Mills said, “Currently there is a lack of accessible walk and cycle paths

Good Shepherd senior teacher Mark Davies, who worked closely with the students, said the response from the College community was great. “Once we had the shoes, I took them home and washed them. One of the students contacted a local sports business and received a huge box of brand-new sock,” Mr Davies said. “Once we have all the goods together, they will be sent to Mornington Island and hopefully put some smiles on the faces of those super keen runners.” If you would like more information about this very valuable program go to facebook. com/morningtonislanddeadlyrunners/

When a group of Good Shepherd students heard about the Mornington Island Deadly Runners Program they were determined to make a difference. After contacting staff at Mornington Island State School, located on the Gulf of Carpentaria, they learnt that donations of running shoes and socks would be greatly appreciated. The Mornington Island Deadly Runners is a group that provides motivation and support to help people reach their running goals in a safe, social and encouraging environment. They focus on achieving physical goals and addressing social and health problems through building self-worth and resilience, and celebrating achievements. The Mornington Island Deadly Runners provide coaching and encouragement for all levels of running. All community members are welcome, with particular focus on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The group is led by volunteer coaches, local health, recreation and youth services, with ongoing support from the Indigenous Marathon Foundation. Head of Seniors Years at Good Shepherd Karen Lunn said it was amazing to see the energy these kids brought to the project. “They were quick to come up with fundraising ideas but also concepts to increase the profile of the vital work undertaken by the team on Mornington Island,“ Mrs Lunn said. “Some of the students are big runners so know how important it is to have shoes that fit. “They really couldn’t imagine what it would be like to run barefoot.” Determined to not only raise funds for the

Vale David Sommerlad By John Dunnet The passing of D.J.R. (David) Sommerlad FAIM, AM, aged 92, on August 7, 2021, represents the closure of a remarkable and productive life in the Australian country and regional newspaper industry. David Sommerlad was both a vigorous participant in the country newspaper industry as journalist, editor and proprietor and a dedicated servant of that industry at state and national levels. Mr Sommerlad belonged to a newspaper dynasty centered on NSW’s Northern Tableland; a family devoted to the duty and service which has been a particular characteristic of the men and women who hold dear the conceits and traditions of the Fourth Estate. His father, the Hon. E.C. Sommerlad. CBE, MLC, his brother, the Hon. E.L. Sommerlad, BA, B.Ec, MLC, and his son, Mr J.W. Sommerlad - the members of this remarkable family served at various times during most of the 20th century as journalists, proprietors or in senior administrative roles in state and federal newspaper industry bodies. David Sommerlad not only followed the family’s dedication to the practise of journalism in the newspapers he managed, he responded to the industry’s challenges in industrial relations, governmental and bureaucratic relationships, advertising and commercial arrangements, and matters of ethics and accountability relating to newspaper publishing by accepting executive roles in both the NSW Country Press Association and in the federal body, Country Press Australia. David Sommerlad’s unfaltering drive and energy in all his roles were a source of admiration - awe, almost - among those within his industry and those in related roles, such as trade unions, advertising agencies and other groups which impacted on the continued wellbeing of the hundreds of regional and community newspapers he represented. David
David Sommerlad with his beloved wife Joan. Sommerlad’s determination and dedication to task were often presented firmly, perhaps suggesting irascibility and dogmatism to people unfamiliar with his style. However, in truth, he was a generous, caring individual, capable of courtesy and deep sensitivity when dealing with others. When David Sommerlad entered the regional newspaper scene in the ‘50’s and 60’s, it quickly became apparent the newspaper ‘values’ of his father and brother were well entrenched. He became an enthusiastic member of the NSW Country Press Association. This enthusiasm did not diminish as the decades
moved on and he was ever-prepared to take on roles when the need arose. However, the task of meeting the challenges of the seismic changes which began to affect the newspaper industry at all levels in the 1980s onwards was onerous. The phenomenon of ‘convergence’ (brought about by the digital revolution) and the drift of advertising revenue to social media platforms, the rapid spate of amalgamations of once-independent newspapers into large group-owned strings, and consequent decline of state and federal industry resources, were just some of the problems which saw once-proud associations
such as Country Press NSW lose large numbers of members. Of particular concern to David Sommerlad were indications that some country towns were losing their papers or facing the prospect of reduced scrutiny of local affairs and local activities. He battled at both state and federal levels to try to ensure that regional and rural Australia did not lose their important ‘watchdogs’ and chroniclers of local history. When it came to his retirement, David Sommerlad did so reluctantly, but continued trying his best to encourage and preserve local newspapers because of their importance to the life and progress of local communities. In 1959, for example, NSW boasted 149 independent, feisty and committed local country newspapers. By the early 2000s the number of truly locally-owned papers in NSW had fallen to about 20. The onset of Covid-19 and its adverse ramifications for local advertising on many of the ‘group-owned’ titles saw many of them fall by the wayside, leaving their communities without their mirror on community life. In his lifetime, it was wonderful that David Sommerlad was honoured by his peers at state and federal level with life memberships. The AM was also an appropriate acknowledgement of his long service to an important industry. These honours were welcomed by David but what he loved most of all was organising and taking part in annual gatherings of country newspapermen; he would spark with enthusiasm on such occasions, enjoying the speeches, the handing out of newspaper awards and the warm fellowship of the men and women from far and wide whose company he enjoyed so much. In his lifetime David Sommerlad not only admirably represented his proud family legacy of service to an important branch of the Fourth Estate - through his life and outstanding contributions, he enhanced it.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
Importance Of Well-Informed Council Decisions Rod Ritchie’s letter ‘Short-Term Lets, LongTerm Problems’ (NT 13/8) inaccurately reports my actions and stance on short term accommodation (STA) at the July Council meeting. Mr Ritchie was wrong when he stated that “the mayor called for a suspension of standing orders to create a new policy, and then returned to council business to apply this policy to STA applications”. In fact, no council policy exists about the limits of short term accommodation in medium and high density zones. This policy vacuum was the problem I was addressing. There was no “policy on the run”, as Mr Ritchie claims, perhaps confused by Council procedure. At the meeting referred to by Mr Ritchie, the Council suspended standing orders to consider a motion seeking expert research, analysis and recommendations “to address the shortage of housing availability for permanent residents in Noosa”. This motion was approved unanimously. This was not “policy on the run”, which is generally opinion-based, ill- considered and the opposite of good decision-making. In fact, my motion sought evidence that will enable the Council to determine future policy. Once established, this policy will guide Council in addressing both the current shortage of housing and the quite separate issue of short term accommodation. At the meeting I argued against making policy on the run and in favour of evidence-based decisions, objective decisions and fair play for people who deal with Council. I will continue to advocate a principled approach that honours property owners’ rights to manage their own property and which also provides an avenue for legitimate complaints and the proper investigation of disturbances to residents’ amenity. These matters are being addressed in a Local Law for Short Stay Letting which is about to be finalised. The causes of the current housing and rental shortages in Australia are complex. To assign Short Term Accommodation as their cause on the basis of anecdote and opinion is inadequate. It may be a factor; it may not be. We must first establish the facts, formulate appropriate policies based on those facts and then work with stakeholders in community, business and government to give effect to solutions where we can. This is how good decisions are made, Mr Ritchie, and they have no connection to making policy on the run. Clare Stewart, Noosa Mayor

To All Concerned; Is Council aware of the damage new transitory rules and rates are doing to the economy and owners of short term holiday accomodation, STA? Whilst there are few to no holiday bookings in the area it is unfathomable that Council has increased the rates on these homes by 78 per cent. So residents try to take on board the possibility of long term stays, which is what council may be endeavouring to do, but again punishing us with an $8000 application to return to

transitory accommodation whenever that occurs, which more likely will not be approved by council? So hence owners take the four bookings per year option and go underground for the other bookings or lock up their homes? Then you have council checking on all holiday home users? All whilst 25 million people in Australia are in lockdown not being able to book a holiday abroad wishing to reside at a place like Noosa? Crazy ... and the mayor does not concern herself with this?

Who’s Fibbing? White lies or fibs. Big difference depending on the result. I am referring to the information on availability of vaccines. My wife and I have had our second AstraZeneca brought forward by our doctor. Close relatives have to wait and one classed as Essential Worker. An email from a friend in Waterfall NSW this morning who has had both AstraZeneca jabs early due to respiratory problems. Her daughter, who is her mother and her father’s carers, managed to get the two Pfizer jabs. Alas, her son-in-law and three granddaughters have to wait. One daughter can get a Pfizer jab (which is more advisable
under their conditions) in Wollongong but no second one available. Son-in-law has to wait until next month. They are living in a two-storey house. The daughter and family on lower level but still do their share in looking after the parents/grandparents. Up or down, they are all carers and have grave fears of bringing the virus home. The 80-year-old friend finished our conversation with: “It is an utter mess. People want the vaccine but there’s none to be had. All this bull--t they go about on TV is rubbish.” Ernest Wright, Tewantin
No To VAD I strongly support the superb letter written by Bill Bodkin under the heading ‘End of Life Options’ where he argues persuasively against the introduction of Voluntary Assisted Dying laws in Queensland. Bill rightly urges the government to give much stronger support to the more civilised option of palliative care and draws attention to the patently obvious contradiction whereby, on the one hand, our government expresses concern about rising suicide rates and on the other, promotes the introduction of assisted suicide. An additional concern: the right to conscientious objection. I worry that if, tragically, VAD laws are passed, medical staff expected to administer lethal drugs will not be given the right to say no or
will be forced to refer VAD requests to another doctor who will have no such objections, thus making them complicit in an act which conflicts with their consciences. Surely, the best way to assist those facing the end of their lives is to offer high quality palliative care which provides strong pain relief, both physical and psychological, accompanies them on their end of life journey and upholds one of the most the basic principles of a civilised society: thou shalt not kill. Robert Leach, Doonan
Gold, Gold, Gold Keeping the Olympic theme going, I would like to sincerely thank Ozcare Noosa Aged Care for taking such good care of my 100-year-old mother Gwen Quirk, for the last 12 years of her life. The staff at Ozcare Noosa treated my Mum like royalty. All the staff, including the cleaners, tea ladies, carers, doctors, and admin, gave her the best care any family could ask for. Even after she passed away many of the staff gathered around my Mum to pay their respects as her body was being taken away. We, as a family were so touched, and I know my Mum appreciated their care and kindness. From the bottom of our hearts, thankyou Ozcare Noosa, you all deserve gold medals.

Council delays rentals The Sunshine Coast has a housing shortage, and so does Noosa, where lack of housing availability has been intensified by the Covid pandemic. People in Victoria and NSW have brought forward retirement plans to move here and, as remote working grows in acceptability, middle-aged professionals seek the better quality lifestyle of regional living. These people have bid up the price of properties and rents, creating a boom for owners and a collapse in the availability of affordable housing and rentals for everyone else. Even reliable long-term tenants have been shown the door by investor-owners selling into a hot market, seeking higher rents or moving in themselves. Many long-standing friends and neighbours have departed, no longer able to afford the cost of living in the shire. But there is an aspect of this situation that need not exist. Whenever a Covid-induced lockdown is mandated by the state government it is accompanied by a requirement for people to stay at home if they are not essential workers. In Noosa, almost unobserved amongst the radical shifts in the property market, this has impacted adversely the service delivery of some council departments. In the private sector, flexible and responsive customer or client service is a necessity if businesses are to survive adverse conditions.
The bureaucracy, seemingly unaffected by concerns such as loss of pay or job security, unhurriedly grinds its way through mountains of red tape. The most recent Queensland lockdown (at the time of writing) began on Saturday 31 July. At the Parkridge Noosa residential development, Altum Constructions - a company I’m associated with - was ready for prospective owners to finally settle their purchases in this rehabilitated former sand mine and illegal dump, now a beautiful housing precinct. Final settlement is a big moment for vendors and prospective owners alike. It is the point at which people who have purchased a unit or apartment off the plan can conclude the process and take possession of their new homes. In the current, final stage of Parkridge Noosa, 55 apartments are planned to settle, with the timing of settlements dependent upon certification and planning approvals from council. Prior to settlement, though owners’ units are ready to occupy, they cannot move in and a limbo-like state is created as owners rent nearby while they wait to move into their new homes. Every unoccupied residence is another subtraction from the scarce Noosa housing stock. There is no doubt that these delays could be
avoided. Council’s planning and development department has deemed that, during lockdowns, certification staff are ‘non-essential’, so must work from home. Building work, however, is deemed essential, and at the final stage of delivering a new home, relies on council staff visually checking and approving the works. If projects are not completed within the contracted time, expensive liquidated damages may be triggered which have been known to send builders broke. During the recent week of lockdown in Noosa, no council staff member was able to attend the construction site to certify those apartments which were ready for inspection. Nor were these public servants reachable by phone. Their personal numbers were not made available, presumably for privacy reasons, and no official phones had been issued to fill the gap. Offers by the builder to conduct the inspections via video-conference or via photographic evidence were not taken up. At Parkridge Noosa, final certifications ground to a halt as council policy regarding the lockdown unnecessarily brought the process to a complete standstill. Efforts to contingency plan for a possible extension of the lockdown were met with indecision by planning and certification staff, who explained they were not receiving managerial

direction on how to solve the problem. Meanwhile, buildings sat empty, awaiting distressed owners trapped in unwanted rentals desperately wanted by other people. Covid has meant a huge amount of change and upheaval. Across Australia, the always vulnerable micro, family, small and medium businesses have had to innovate and transform work routines and practices to stay afloat. It’s been a matter of pivot or perish. It is surely not too much to ask that governments make some small effort to understand the impacts of lockdowns and make adjustments to better support the continuation of business. While businesses across Queensland go belly-up waiting for government to act, it is frustrating to imagine bureaucrats tucked up safely at home on full pay and with secure jobs and not even a phone call from a client to bother them. Covid looks like being with us for a long time, likely housing shortages too. It’s time governments got their act together.

Learn to play bridge with new course Bridge lessons are being provided by the Noosa Bridge Club beginning 13 September for eight weeks. This is a twice-yearly offering, held in the clubrooms at 3 Wallace Street, Noosaville. Bridge is more than just a card game as it keeps your memory active and your brain alert, confirming the old saying “use it or lose it”. Bridge is also a game for any age, all generations from six to 106 can play together and, these days, bridge is attracting a younger audience as during the pandemic many people in their 20s and 30s have started learning and playing online. So, don’t wait till you retire before learning, as committee member Julie Scott said, “Everyone wishes they had started playing bridge earlier”.
Helene Proctor, June Drysdale, Margo Mckellar, and Phil Griffiths enjoy a game of Bridge. There is a Saturday session available for the weekday workers. Billionaire investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett has a reputation of a die-hard player, and has been quoted as saying, “Bridge is such a sensational game that I wouldn’t mind
being in jail if I had three cellmates who were decent players.” Once the basic skills have been mastered, they have a number of competitions available such as the recent Novice Congress where players of the same ability compete in a friendly atmosphere. The eight-week course begins Monday 13 September from 9am till 11am. Cost is $80 which includes a copy of Paul Marston’s “Introduction to Bridge”. This beginner’s course will cover all the basic concepts of bridge and includes sessions of supervised play where your teacher will be available for help. For more information or to register phone 54471341 or email info@noosabridge.com or visit the website noosabridge.com

Wearable art fundraiser Not fearing to be ‘haunted’ by the cancellation of so many events due to Covid, the Australian Wearable Art Festival is determined to bring joy and fun to the Sunshine Coast this year through a Halloween fundraiser event on Saturday 30 October at Terella Brewing in North Arm. Australian Wearable Art Festival curator Wendy Roe believes the Halloween fundraiser is the perfect event for the current landscape - encouraging people to embrace costuming (and mask wearing!) and come together to support our local artists who have been doing it tough. “The Halloween fundraiser will be AWAF’s first-ever event fundraiser ahead of the gala to be held in May 2022 and provides an exciting opportunity to get a sneak peak of new work from wearable artists, raise dollars for our arts community and have a trick-or-treat party at the same time,” said Ms Roe. “We know many people love getting dressed up for Halloween and this event provides an exclusive party atmosphere where wearable art will be in the spotlight.” “It is evident with the recent lockdown, we all need to take opportunities to come together when we can and we encourage people to pull together some friends and start planning outfits.” Every ticket includes a complimentary drink on arrival, entertainment with local band Raw Audio who will bring the dance floor alive, prizes for the best-dressed, live auction and a range of fun fundraising activities. A range of up-market food trucks will be available to purchase food and Terella Brewing’s bars will be open until 10.30pm. Newly appointed Terella Brewing chief executive officer Richard Magney said the rural location of Terella Brewing provided a great backdrop for an event of this magnitude with plenty of outdoor space for people to socialise and participate in the Halloween activities. “We are excited to showcase our full range of beers on the night and will also be preparing some Halloween-inspired drinks especially for the evening that showcase our ginger beer and hard lemonade,“ he said. “Supporting our local art community and signature events such as the Australian Wearable Art Festival is really important for the team at Terella. We have experienced the challenges of running a hospitality business over the last year and have jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with this fundraiser to help get the events industry back on its feet.” All funds raised on the night will go towards supporting the much-anticipated Australian Wearable Art Festival’s Gala set to be held in May 2022. The Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation was welcomed as a partner in May this year, enabling the festival to accept donations and provide tax deductibility to its donors. “While we have not been able to host our

Art lovers head to Cooroy Visit the Art Hub Cooroy to view exceptional works of art from four accomplished artists exhibiting this month. Resident artists Gaye Cook, Roxanne Marie, Jennie Lisha, and Peter Scott will be exhibiting from 20 August to 24 September. Gaye Cook grew up on the Sunshine Coast where she has painted most of her life but took it up consistently in 1998 under the tutelage of Sharon Ford. She began with pastels, an unforgiving medium, and more recently added acrylic and collage to the media she uses. The subject matter of her work tends to explore the narrative as she loves a painting that tells a story. Gaye said, “A painting is a conversation between the artist and the viewer.“ Sunshine Coast artist Roxanne Marie celebrates visual expression through a kaleidoscope of colour, light and brilliance as framed artworks and unique hand-painted silk art. She is also exploring the intriguing aspects of more abstract work using a range of techniques and mixed media. For each art piece, she considers the visual language and medium, then develops a complexity of layers that entice the viewer to become a part of the artwork through
their personal experience and interpretation. Gold Coast artist Jennie Lisha studied art at school, then at North Sydney Technical College in 1982 graduated at Gold Coast Tafe with a Certificate of Studio Ceramics. She loved poetry since she started in 1989. Jennie has had an amazing evolvement in her artistic career retailing through an outlet in the Rocks and the Opera House Markets in Sydney. She now specialises in porcelain jewellery which are all one-off pieces. She has exhibited in many group exhibitions on the Gold Coast and Sydney. Peter Scott lives on the Sunshine Coast, and learnt his ceramic art whilst living in Kanzawa, Ishikawa, and Japan. Prior to Covid, he developed a ritual of returning to Japan every two years where his son lives with his family. During his visits to Japan, Peter has been able to further his artistic air and learn new modalities in this fascinating art form. Art lovers are encouraged to participate in the People’s art choice ballot to win one of the artist prizes. The ballot will be drawn at the end of the exhibition. Visit The Art Hub Cooroy at 3/2 Emerald Street. For more information call 5447 6155.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
Maisie’s from the street.
Picture: SUPPLIED
Pacific oysters.
Memory Lane at Maisie’s Trevor Pepys reviews Maisie’s Seafood and Steakhouse Although Trevor missed the first few decades of Maisie’s glorious century-plus reign on the river – the cafe, not the proprietress, who left the building quite some time ago at a grand old age – he goes back far enough to remember Maisie’s brother Phillip wheeling the old pianola out onto Gympie Terrace to serenade the diners with his mellifluous tenor. In those days the finely-honed timber cottage, built by Pattermore and Cash for patriarch Jiddy Massoud in 1920, was known as Maisie’s Favourite Cafe, about which there was no doubt since it was the only eatery along the river. But it was certainly favoured by the men of the 2/14th Infantry doing their Kokoda jungle training in The Woods who flocked there whenever they could, often driving their amphibious Army ducks right up the river bank next to the family wharf. Trev was only a whippersnapper, of course, but he well remembers the smoke from Maisie’s wood-fuelled fire, the bawdy singalongs as the men munched their flathead and chips, washed down with tallies of Brisbane Bitter, while Maisie fussed about them with endless good cheer. Ah, those were the days. Admittedly, Trev’s relations with the formidable Massoud clan took a turn for the worse when he accidentally stepped on a giant turtle sand sculpture that young Dennis M had laboured on for a week at Main Beach. But this too was forgotten in the sands of time.

Maisie’s from the inside.
Picture: SUPPLIED
Still, it had been a long time between mornays, Trev thought, as he and the missus climbed the stairs to enter the time capsule that is now known as Maisie’s. The history of Noosaville and the Massoud clan, as entwined as they are, is all over the walls, and the aromas of 50 years ago still emanate from the kitchen, and beer batter never smelled so welcoming. We chose a Little Angel Marlborough Pinot Gris ($37) from the sensibly-priced wine list and sipped at our corner table while perusing the menu. Maisie’s is styled as steak and seafood these days, but history demands you eat the produce of the river, so we ordered half a dozen Pacific oysters natural ($20) and slurped
Chowder in a bread bowl. Yum. them down while we awaited the seafood chowder served warm inside a crusty bread bowl ($17.50). The oysters were fresh, tangy and delicious with a little Tabasco. The chowder was an absolute triumph, fat mussels and chunks of reef fish in a thick soup, not so hot that it would melt the walls of the bread. Comfort food at its most delicious. Next, purely for tradition, we shared a hefty Fisherman’s Basket ($26.50), which included the usual suspects – fried crumbed prawns, calamari, scallops and battered river fish, all served with fat chips. This was predictable fare, not quite up to the standard of our start-
Fisherman’s Basket. ers, but it seemed an appropriate way to end a meal down memory lane. The verdict: If you’re a fan of Noosa’s foodie history, which Trevor most certainly is, you can’t go past the experience of Maisie’s. But the bonus here is that the simple, honest tucker offered is authentic and excellent. Leave your army duck at the shore, though. Maisie’s Seafood and Steakhouse, 247 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21
Tigers sign up top coach By Julian Pitts The Roccoco’s Noosa Tigers have landed a massive coaching coup having acquired the services of legendary Ainslie Coach Chris Rourke just on a week ago. The six-time Ainslie premiership coach, including a NEAFL flag among them, made Rourke one of the most sought after professional AFL coaches in the country and Noosa was able to successfully win his services. The Tigers beat Ovens and Murray heavyweights Wodonga Raiders with the Noosa brand of wonderful weather, stunning beaches and a to die for lifestyle the keys to Rourke’s signing. The news has brought much positivity around the Tiger camp in a year that certainly has not gone to plan both on and off the field. Another positive for the Tigers is the support being given to a new facility, by not only our federal MP Llew O’Brien but also a fantastic letter of support from AFL chief executive officer Gil McLachlan, which is just terrific, with a big thank you to organiser Tony ‘Charge’ Frawley who has been a wonderful influence over the past three months at Tigerland. Our senior women’s team will host Pine Rivers on Saturday 28 August from 4.45 pm for a chance to progress to this year’s QFAW division two grand final on Saturday 4 September as the Noosa girls attempt to go back-to-back. Junior finals will go ahead on Sunday 29 August. The Tigers have four teams still involved. Senior presentation night has been locked it for Friday 10 September to be held at our clubrooms whilst our junior presentation day
Tigers in action will be held the same weekend on Sunday 12 September also at our rooms. More details to come in later Tiger Talks and through our Noosa Tigers social mediums. Senior vote count night is this Friday 20 August from 5.30pm with all three of our senior men’s grades counting their home and away
fixture votes to determine their club champions for season 2021. Who will be crowned Noosa’s Best and fairest in our very first year in the state’s best competition? Skipper Aaron Laskey surely will poll strongly after another brilliantly consistent year. Riley Buntain started the season terrifically, and I’d

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa
Look back on last week Well here we all are and the offshore crews can again catch all species without restriction, apart from bag and size limits, of course. The Queensland annual snapper and pearl perch closure is now done and dusted and for most it wasn’t too much of an issue as we had some pretty wild weather which gave the fish a break along with our lockdown. So the last week saw anglers experiencing a rather quiet bite post-new moon. There was a big high pressure system that sat over us and gave us perfect weather conditions. For those who got a mid-week fish in, the deeper marks appeared more productive. Without snapper and pearl perch on the take list it was tuskies sweetlip, red throat, cobia and jewies from The Banks and beyond. Double Island, of course, provided AJs, cobia, longtail, and the occasional red emperor. Reports have been coming in that the waters are super clear so drop line and leader strengths if possible. This is where super fine extra strong PE braids excel. If you look at PE2 which is traditionally 20lb you can expect breaking strains close to 40lb. Come in and ask us more about PE braids to get an edge over fussy fish. In closer smaller fish have been on the list with tusk fish, moses perch, sweetlip, undersized reds and some nice cobia swimming about mid-water. During tough times, a steady but light flow of burley can really help fire the fish up. The old saying, less is more, is true as heavy burley trails will bring sharks in. Take a look at our tuna oil which is super thick and goes a long way. Combine this with some pellets and fish scraps to get the best scent trail. Always having a pilchard floater out is best and only use weight if absolutely required. There is a lot of weight in a pilchard and these can be dropped over the side and allowed to float down with your burley mix. Shore fishing has seen a few tailor showing up along with good numbers of whiting, bream and dart. Most fish tend to be smaller in close but those with medium weight rods are reporting better catches out wider of the surf zone. Take a look at our range of Gary Howard rods that just arrived. The “Dart” rod is a personal favourite designed to cast medium light baits the required distance. These will take spin and Alvey reels so there is something for everyone. Inside the river we have seen some big flathead showing up as the seasons start to change. There has been a boost in water temps and smaller flathead still feature heavily around the mouth and sand flats of the Dog Beach and Munna Point. You can get these fish on small baby blue pilchards which are currently the best we have ever seen. These super clean fish suit 1/0 gangs perfectly and appeal to a wide range of other fish including trevally, tailor and winter jacks.
Trevor Rauert caught this 38cm bream on a piece of cooked prawn at Munna Point. If in a kayak, then pick up a few shallow diving lures like the Samaki Redic shallow diver which sits less than a metre deep when worked. As previously mentioned, the waters are super clean so get main lines and leaders down to 6lb max if after better fish. For those in doubt, huge fish can be landed on light lines by setting drags correctly. If you need help with this come in and get the low down before you next trip. Up river around the mouth of Cooroibah you can also expect to find flatties and trevally. Just before the lake the big hold is referred to the Jew hole. Although not always producing jewfish, this area features other fish and often jewies aren’t too far away. Sounding the bottom will show you various areas of structure and, if you dare, a soft vibe can be excellent in this part of the river. Look at the smaller Samaki or Berkley Shimma fork if on a budget. Freshwater has been very much on fire and then quiet. The bite has been later in the morning/afternoon so there is no need to be up before first light. Current water temps are now 18-20.5C depending on where you go and this has the bass on the move. It is essential to have side scan and down scan running here as the fish are scattered or hard on the bottom. Once you find them it’s a case of finding out what they are interested in. Take a range of plastics like Keitech easy shiner and Gulp paddle tail. You should also grab some blades like the Ecogear ZX and also try smaller soft vibes and work them through the schools until you get a bite or two.

Ray’s still a handy golfer Ray Egge, a restless young American not long returned from serving his country in Vietnam, was touring New Zealand in the late 1960s when he first heard of Noosa. “I’d been in Hawaii before travelling to New Zealand and was wondering what to do next when I got a letter from an old mate,” Californian-born Ray recalls. “He said he was in Queensland, at a place called Noosa Heads. He told me I wouldn’t find it on the map and there was nobody living there – but it was a real nice place.” So Ray flew to Brisbane, drove north towards Tewantin, arrived at Noosa – and never left. His original plan was to be a teacher, but within a year of setting up home in Noosa, Ray had opened a pizza parlour in Noosa Junction. Then he became a chef in a Hastings St restaurant and, later, operated a pool cleaning business. All the while he indulged his two great sporting loves – surfing and golf. “I’ve always surfed – still do,” said Ray. “I’ve been back to Hawaii many times surfing.” He’s also a keen golfer, playing three times a week at Noosa Golf Club, where he was employed for a time in maintenance. He played at Noosa Valley when he took up the game, then moved to Noosa more than 30 years ago. He’s a much loved and respected member, and a part of the successful Masters pennants team until this year. And, though he concedes his best golf is behind him, he’s still more than competitive. On Wednesday, for example, he scored 39 points off a 12 handicap to take the Veterans A grade competition. And he’s a finalist in the Tuesday Club’s upcoming annual matchplay championships. “I won the A grade title a few years ago,” Ray said. “Now I’m the new boy in B grade.” Scott pines for his folks and home Though his sudden return to form at the weekend assured Adam Scott of a place in the rich FedEx Cup playoffs in the US, the former Masters champion is looking forward to returning to his Noosa home and showing off his new baby to his Queensland-based parents. Scott, who spent much of last year dodging Covid at his Sunshine Beach home and prepared for his return to the US PGA Tour by playing with mates at Sunshine Coast courses, shot four great rounds in the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina to tie with five others at 15-under-par. He then missed out at the second sudden death hole – his par four falling short of American Kevin Kisner’s birdie in the six-man playoff. Ranked 121st in FedEx Cup standings at the start of the week, Scott improved his position dramatically to maintain his record of qualifying for the FedEx Cup playoffs every year since their inception. He shot rounds of 66, 70, 64 and 65 and the points he earnt for equal second allowed him to jump to 82nd in the standings – well inside the playoff qualification mark of 125th. Before the tournament, he spoke of the challenges he’d faced in dealing with the pandemic and the effect it had on his game. Since returning to the PGA Tour 12 months ago following his extended stint in Noosa, Scott had earned only one top-10 finish in 20 appearances - a tie for 10th at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. As he moves between homes in Switzerland and the US, and unable to return to Australia without quarantining, Scott says he didn’t take into full account the toll that would take on him personally and professionally. He and wife Marie Kojzar became parents for the third time late last year and Scott, 41, cannot wait until the day he can introduce his Queensland-based based parents, Phil and Pam, to their newest grandchild. “It’s very frustrating when you live in one

Adam Scott practices for the Wyndham Championship. place with a policy and you’re operating also in another place with a different policy. That made it very difficult this year,” Scott said. “The US and the UK are seemingly learning how to live with the virus now and it seems like making some progress. I find it frustrating that Australia is maybe lagging behind at the moment and have very strict measures over the virus. “Basically it means I’m not going home anytime soon. I’m more concerned now about getting to see my parents and them getting to see grandkids that they haven’t seen for a long time and some they’ve never met,” he said. Pennant finals on, off, on – and now who knows? This year’s zone pennant finals, featuring teams from Noosa in A grade and Noosa Springs in Masters, are now scheduled to be played at Gympie on Sunday. But don’t hold your breath. The finals, supposed to have been played on August 1, were called off because of the Covid lockdown. When it was lifted last week, the pennant finals became one of those golf events deemed ‘non-standard’ and, therefore, not to be played until after 4pm on Sunday, August 22. But, because the finals were to be played in Gympie – where there was no lockdown and, consequently, no follow-up restrictions – zone officials thought they were safe to conduct them from 7.30am on that day. Now they’re not so sure. A zone official, noting the situation was ‘very fluid’, quoted Queensland Health as stating competitors from an impacted area should ‘reconsider’ their need to travel outside an impacted area to play in ‘any organised community sport’. But what does that mean? It’s clearly not a direction, nor even a recommendation. At best it’s a guideline - one of many in these troubled times, made on the run and left open to interpretation, certain to create nothing but further confusion. Sunshine Coast Golf doesn’t know, adding it had sought clarification from the Queensland Government. So, at the time this column was written, the finals are still on for Sunday. But don’t be surprised if that changes. If, and when, they’re played, Noosa will tackle Headland in A grade, Mt Coolum takes on Peregian in B grade, and Noosa Springs plays Mt Coolum in Masters. James in strong Sunday position Following a fortnight’s break because of lockdowns, Noosa Spring’s popular Sunday Series returned this week, with James Hordern staking an early claim for August honours.
Having a killer short game is very important for scoring well. It can save a poor ball striking round and keep the momentum going during a great ball striking round. With that in mind, it is important to develop a solid technique to pull off those great chip and pitch shots that keep your scorecard looking healthy. Give the following tips a try to help get your short game to the next level. Maintain a light grip on the club. Feel soft in the wrists and arms. Be patient in the transition from backswing to downswing (you don’t want to rush the arms). Use the bigger muscles in your body and keep rotating through impact to the finish. Try it. You’ll see an instant improvement. Good golfing. GREG LYNCH, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs’ senior PGA teaching professional.
Ray Egge – a surfer and a very handy golfer. He scored 39 points on Sunday in the yearlong event which is sponsored by Joe Langley Realty. It gave him a strong chance of qualifying for the December final which will be contested by the men and women who return the best winning score each month. Members and visitors are welcome to compete, with visitors from Sunshine Coast and Gympie clubs able to take up Noosa Spring’s offer of a reduced Sunday green fee of $79 for locally-based golfers.

Brisbane’s Games journey By Ian Jobling Much of the euphoria following the announcement that Brisbane and surrounding regions would host the 2032 Olympic was overtaken by the excitement of the 16 days of the actual Tokyo Olympic Games. It’s been a long time coming but Brisbane’s first bid to host the Games - the 1992 Olympics - goes back almost 40 years! Following the success of the 1982 XII Com-

monwealth Games in Brisbane, the then Lord Mayor Roy Harvey wrote on behalf of the Brisbane City Council (BCC), dominated by the Labor Party, in January 1983 to the IOC seeking the 1992 Olympics. ‘Olympics Down Under’ - July 25 - August 9 -‘when Brisbane enjoys idyllic dry weather’, and athletes in the northern hemisphere are ‘in-season’, was one of the key factor. And when there were some negative rumours about the Games in Korea in 1988, another catch-cry
- ‘Brisbane’s ready’ - came to the fore; Brisbane could host those Games now! However, there were fervent critics; Murray Hedgcock wrote in The Weekend Australian (October 1984): It’s difficult to know whether to applaud, laugh, or cry about Brisbane’s belated campaign to grab the 1992 Summer Olympics ... The last thing they [the European countries] want .. is to face a 1992 trek to the other side of the world ... . In the interim, Sallyanne Atkinson, was elected Lord Mayor along with a majority of Liberal Party councillors. It was she who appointed a key figure in the Australian Olympic Federation (AOF now the AOC) John Coates, executive director of the Brisbane 1992 Olympic Project Office), to head the bid committee and lead the presentation of the bid to the 90th IOC in Lausanne. Brisbane came third, Paris second, and Barcelona, the home city of IOC President, Juan Antonio Samaranch, who was in his final term, was voted the host city for 1992. It was acknowledged Brisbane’s bid was most worthy and highly acclaimed by the IOC. Immediately after the decision, the media queried Sallyanne: ‘Would Brisbane run again for the 1996 Games?’ With council elections forthcoming, her reply was that she would have to ask the people of Brisbane’. The delay
Courier Mail, Brisbane 18 November 1988
created the opportunity for other Australian cities to offer proposals to the AOC to host the 1996 Olympics. John Coates stated in an interview: ‘ ... little doubt the AOF again will endorse Brisbane as Australia’s 1996 candidate if it wants to re-submit. ‘‘Climatically, Brisbane is by far our best candidate. [Courier-Mail, October 22, 1986] Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney expressed interest to the AOF in hosting the 1996 Olympics, and an internal ‘selection‘ process took place throughout 1988. As a member of the Brisbane ‘proposal’ team, I can write some personal recollections. Brief written submissions were submitted to representatives of all State Olympic Councils. who also visited Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney - Perth dropped out. Each city made live and electronic presentations to the AOF executive board at a gathering in the Australian Institute of Sport auditorium in Canberra in mid-November 1988. Melbourne won. While seated in the auditorium of the announcement, Sallyanne Atkinson quietly uttered ‘to members of her ‘team’ - “I accept the umpire’s decision; I just think the umpire was wrong.” Cartoonists in the daily press in both Sydney and Brisbane the following morning depicted the responses of the losing cities.

Melbourne organisers had only two years to prepare their bid for the IOC. One of the slogans and pleas used was that it was ‘Time for another continent’. Not only had the northern hemisphere hosted all summer Olympics apart from 1956, but North America had hosted five. It was expected the Athens bid would be the major challenge as the inaugural Olympics were held there in 1896. However, the bid documents were so sub-standard by comparison and there was to be no centenary celebration. Atlanta, Georgia, the home and influence of Coca-Cola, won; again, a cartoonist (Jeff’) depicted the feelings of many. The Australian Olympic Committee (no longer the AOF) through its new president John Coates decreed there would be no largescale presentations or lobbying by Australian cities. The momentum of Sallyanne Atkinsons’ bid for the 1992 Games, and the follow-up by Melbourne for 1996, was a great asset in trying again for the 2000 Olympics. In the AOC’s 1990 Annual Report: The support for a Sydney bid ‘ ... was done in the knowledge that the residue of goodwill created first by Brisbane bidding for ‘92 and then Melbourne for ‘96 provided the Australian candidate city with a momentum that other cities would be pressing to match’. Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney all nominated but Coates stated, “ultimately we came down for Sydney because it is Australia’s best known city internationally, it is bigger and easier to promote and because Melbourne had hosted a previous Olympics.” Three years later, IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch announced in his unique way that ‘Syd-e-ney’ would host the 2000 Olympic Games.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt
Maximilian sets final sail “I ain’t been twin since yesterday,” the surfing mariner Emmanuel Berque posted on social media last week. “Maximilian fell asleep peacefully, but didn’t wake up anymore … gone naked and without any instruments.” Just as they had made their Atlantic crossings, alone in their tiny sailboats, navigating wild seas by the stars. And with those simple words, Manu brought the curtain down on the strange and wonderful lives that these identical twins shared. Having known them for 25 years and visited them often at the humble family holiday home, I could picture the scene that morning in the tiny bedroom they shared, sleeping side by side on thin mattresses, and it brought a tear. They were born five minutes apart in 1950 in Casablanca, where their father was professor of Islamic studies, spent their early years around the Middle East before returning to Paris for school and university. But it was at tiny Contis-plage, between Bordeaux and Biarritz, that they found their spiritual home, becoming free-living itinerant surfers in the 1970s and shifting their attention to bigger craft in the 1980s. In the loft of the family home in St Julien, behind Contis, they started to build a 16-foot trimaran. It was the simplest boat imaginable, and in it they planned to cross the Atlantic with no instruments, the stars their guide. They named the boat Micromegas in homage to Voltaire’s theories on relativity, metaphysics, love, and sex, which closely paralleled their own. They knocked a hole in the loft wall, lowered it onto a trailer, and launched it off the beach at Contis. After spending the summer sailing the north coast of Spain with a dog and four surfboards, they decided to sail it to the Canaries, but just two days out in the Bay of Biscay they ran into a huge storm, lost the tiller, and had to paddle for their lives for four days. Badly burnt by sun and saltwater, exhausted and sleep-deprived, they headed back to Contis-Plage to lick their wounds. In 1995, the Berque twins crossed the Atlantic for the first time, in three stages, with no radio, GPS, distress beacon, life raft, or motor. They battled storms into North Africa, missing Madeira completely and doing a repair stop in Casablanca before finally reaching Lanzarote. They sailed for the West Indies and made the crossing in 37 days. Max and Manu came home to Contis not quite wealthy and not quite heroes, but deeply satisfied. I realised the Berque boys were consummate crowd pleasers when I saw them in action at the Biarritz Surf Festival, identically dressed, doing their identical walk along the promenade. The visiting legends were mesmerised by them and by their work. When I took the late Midget Farrelly to see the production facility in the loft of the old farmhouse, he couldn’t believe it. We later went body-surfing and spent the afternoon in their garden drinking red wine, mesmerised. One of the funniest images I can recall of my 50th birthday party—held in Dan’s Bar in Contis-Plage—is of the Berque twins, down on their knees in front of the stage, bowing in gratitude to the sexy and scantily-clad Texas blues-woman Dan had somehow liberated from a nearby blues festival to play a cheap gig with a bunch of Austin blues-pickers. The singer thought it so funny she could barely finish her set. But the Berques’ party antics were hiding the glowing beacon of an idea for a new adventure that had begun to consume them. Their father had passed on in 1998 and left them with a small inheritance, enough to finance the construction of Micromegas III. The third Micromegas was a 21-foot outrigger, combining the displacement hull theory of the Pacific seamen with the lugger schooner rig of the sailors of Brittany. People may have scoffed at the seaworthiness of the Berques’ creations, but no one could dispute their cultural integrity. In 2002 they staged it to the Canaries and again they encountered dreadful seas, at one 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 August, 2021

Together alone on the wild sea. stage broaching a rogue wave and almost losing all. The twins went 17 days without seeing the sun, getting a taste of what was to come. But their resolve was unbroken. This time they would cross the ocean direct without instruments or assistance. Stocked with 90 litres of water, 16 kilos of gofio, 90 tins of sardines, 30 bottles of Tabasco, and no cooking equipment, they set sail from Arrecife on the last day of March 2003, with 30 tough days ahead before their prayed-for landfall at La Desirade, a small island near Guadeloupe. I was living in France at the time and sporadically followed the voyage of my friends via a fairly basic website, but I don’t think any of us really understood the physical endurance and emotional complexity of this voyage of two identical twins, a single egg split in the womb, now cocooned again on a raging sea, their spirits so enmeshed by physical and emotional proximity as to threaten their capacity to breathe. And now Max is gone, I hope my friend Manu remembers to breath. FOOTNOTE: Well, we got three Aussies in the final 10 for the World Surf League finals series at Lower Trestles, California, next month. Tour rookie Morgan Cibilic was already in the cut with Sally Fitzgibbons, and seven-times world champ Steph Gilmore secured her place with a brilliant victory at Barra de la Cruz in Mexico last week. The 2021 world titles for men and women will be decided in just one day.

Lift success recognised Last week members of Noosa Cross Fit 4566 and Bar Bell Weight Lifting Club, located in 1/15 Lionel Donovan Drive Noosaville, gathered at the club for a presentation of medals and trophies, won by members at the national and state Titles. The attendance of Noosa MP Sandy Bolton was two-fold. Not only was she invited as guest of honour to do the presentation of medals, but also to receive a big and public vote of thanks for her contribution to the club in obtaining a Queensland Community Gaming Grant. Speaking of the club with head coach Woogie Marsh, our local Member expressed her total support in promoting a sport for the youth. “During her visit I could not help noticing her rapport with the kids as she moved around saying hello, a really engaging personality,” said Marsh, a veteran of some 30 years in coaching. For a club which places such emphases on family first and youth development, it was indeed a very rewarding afternoon. The presentation of medals by Sandy Bolton, plus the display of new equipment, which was the result of the government grant, speaks volumes for the club’s standing in both competition and the community. It was back in 2015, that Cross Fit started and in 2016 we saw the addition of the Bar Bell Club. Among the medal winners in the weight lifting was Taj Marsh, who won the U89kg national gold medal in the Youth Category and also backed up, by being awarded the Best Youth Male Weight Lifter at both state and national level. For this young man who has been lifting for 10 years and competing for four, it was a good result. In the female section, Kaiya Marsh, sister of Taj, won gold in the U15, U59kg division, and a bronze medal in the U59kg Youth Category. Also amongst the medal winners was Alana Castle who, competing in the national titles in the U15 age group, won the U76kg gold medal and in the U17 category, the bronze. This young lady has now been lifting for just over two years and is indeed, along with Taj and Kaiya, showing great potential.
Noosa MP Sandy Bolton presents medals to national and state winners. Following the presentation, Sandy Bolton said, “It was invigorating to catch up with the members of the Noosa Barbell Club and to see the success of our youngsters, Kaiya, Alana and Taj, who took out gold at the nationals. This equipment funded by the Community Benefit Fund will go a long way to assist in their dreams for the 2032 Olympics and enable

all ages to join in getting strong and fit for every day life. Congratulations to the NBC team, including coach Woogie Marsh, president Jason and all members for taking Noosa into the spotlight.” The training sessions for the Bar Bell Club are conducted under the supervision of head coach Woogie Marsh and offers both Olympic
weight lifting and power lifting. The Olympic event consists of two competition lifts ,the snatch and the clean and jerk. Power lifting has three competition lifts, deadlift, benchlift and the squat. For those in the age group eight-16 years interested in joining the club, there is an invitation to drop in for a chat, during one of the Cross Fit Noosa Kids or Teen training sessions. A full explanation will be given and parents are assured that all training sessions for the rookies are under strict supervision. Speaking on behalf of CrossFit 4566, Richard Kelly said, “We cannot thank Sandy Bolton enough for her tremendous support in obtaining the grants. We thank her most sincerely. The new equipment was sorely needed. Our club is very committed to the policy of familyfirst and consider the growth of all kids in the community, to be of the utmost importance. Also, we are happy to relate the increase in membership of young girls.” This is a good indication as to the reputation of the club within the community: also, it tells us that the popularity of the sport of weight lifting and the fitness training available to the teen population, is on the increase. Well done to all involved. When Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien, congratulated the 43 local sports stars who will receive grants that will greatly assist them in participating in state and national competition, it was indeed good to see three recipients of these grants, Alana Castle, Taj Marsh and Kaiya Marsh of the Noosa Bar Bell club, among those named. The outstanding support of Noosa’s local MP Sandy Bolton and Wide Bay’s Llew O’Brien should be noted and acknowledged. The financial burden placed on the parents of our athletes is, in many cases, nothing short of disgraceful. After all, they are training with the burning desire to represent this great country. Following the outstanding success of our team at the Tokyo Olympics, the importance of talent identification from amongst the ranks of our youth, and the role to be played by our dedicated coaches, cannot be emphasised enough.
Olympian a run-away success for Peregian By Margaret Maccoll The physical enjoyment and mental health benefits of exercising in a natural landscape is something Olympic marathon runner Nick Harrison hopes to impart to participants in a new running group he set up at Peregian Beach. The son of Australian 10,000m champion Terry Harrison, Nick “grew up around running“ and was a competent runner in his secondary school days but it wasn’t until he was 24 years old and playing in a band in Melbourne’s pub scene that he launched into his bid for the Olympics. Playing in one of those pubs he saw on a television showing coverage of the Atlanta Olympic Games his junior competitor Julian Paynter running in the 5000m heat and decided he too could shoot for his dream. “I always had a lifetime dream to go to the Olympics. I thought I’d better pull my finger out or I’d miss the opportunity,” he said. Nick joined an elite running club called The Pack which had members including marathon runner Robert de Castella and he was supported with his training. Just a couple of years after joining the club he was selected in the Australian team for the 1999 world cross-country championships which was “very encouraging”. A year later he ran his debut marathon in the Host City Marathon race on the Sydney 2000 Olympic course. By then he was working part-time and had switched his universi-
ty studies from evolutionary ecology to sport science. In 2001, Nick took almost five minutes off his marathon time in Japan and was selected for the 2001 world championships in Edmonton, becoming the first Australian to finish when he came in 23rd place. That high was followed by a low in the following Commonwealth Games’ year when a blizzard hit
runners in the race in Tokyo and Nick’s slower time prevented him making the team. In 2003 he ran a fast time in Japan to make it into the Australian Olympic Team for the 2004 Athens Olympics. “We stayed in Italy till just before the event,“ he said. “There wasn’t really anywhere to train in Greece.” Nick said conditions were tough for the
race with temperatures hitting 32-33 degrees Celsius, but the atmosphere was amazing and he was proud to have finished the event, coming in 43rd place. “It was just a different level of competition,” he said. “We finished in the old stadium. It was an amazing experience for a runner. It’s a small stadium. It was packed. Running into that was just electric.” By 2005 Nick was married with two children and working full time, and decided to hang up his competitive running shoes. Having been a regular visitor to Noosa for warm weather training during winter, Nick and his family decided to make the move from Melbourne to Noosa in 2013. Now a teacher at The Australian Industry Trade College in Maroochydore, Nick wanted to set up a supportive running group similar to those in Melbourne. “I just get so much out of running myself, I wanted to create a bit of community around running.” The Tuesday afternoon running sessions are attracting a regular group of about 10 runners but more are welcome to join the one hour sessions focusing on strength and speed and ranging from short distance efforts, hill repeats and everyone’s favourite, the 3km time trial. All running abilities are welcome, no one is left behind. Each runner comes along for different reasons and running experiences.

Caroline Johnston of Wythes Real Estate always knew the property would bring strong interest, given the Sunrise Rd location, the views and the potential of the house.

Yet it was only after the auction that the successful bidders and the family of the original owners discovered there had been connections through the generations. “That was a surprise,’’ Caroline said. “The old owners loved that.’’ The position was arguably the main appeal of the property. As for the house it was always a question of does stay or does it go? “Everyone had their thoughts - refurbish it, renovate or knock it down. “The new owners will take their time and consider their options. “They had recently sold and were looking for a place to settle. They were captivated by the view.’’

Offers are being invited on the property that comprises two dwellings on 2.96ha of flat land fenced into paddocks and with stables as well as three-bay shed. There are six-bedrooms, four-bathrooms, nine-car garaging and resort-style pool. The contemporary-style home features cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, open fireplace as well as reverse-cycle air-conditioning, timber staircase and oak floors upstairs. There is 12.6kW solar power as well as 3-phase power to the shed. “We had good numbers and serious interest at Saturday’s open as well as the
Thursday afternoon,’’ Caroline said. “They admired the unique setting and the opportunities they see. “Some love it as is - everything’s been done. Others want to make changes to suit their lifestyle. “Some see it for the equestrian value while others just like the expanse of land.’’ Private inspections had been booked for the week and prior offers made sight unseen. Caroline is now working on bringing more Doonan properties to the market later this month and early September - in the small to mid acreage range.

ONE-IN-A-MILLION NOOSA PARADE ADDRESS WHEN it comes to a virtually bullet-proof investment, not to mention the lifestyle value it offers, this is it. An exclusive onein-a million, medium density development opportunity on a supersize illustrious Noosa Sound 1120m2 waterfront site, with the jaw-dropping address of Noosa Parade, is the closest waterfront home-site to Hastings Street. Two hexagon-shaped buildings consisting of three two-bedroom residential apartments with a private jetty, plus a commercial office are currently onsite, however, a long-term prime investment holding, prestige apartment development, or striking residence with no neighbours on the waterside, presents a unique opportunity. “In my 35 years of marketing Noosa Sound property,” explains Tom Offermann, eponymous real estate company principal, “nothing has changed in what buyers search for, and their wish list is quite predictable. They want to be on the water and love a big block, but these are ultrarare, as is being so close to Hastings Street, making this the ultimate dream come true.” “Prestige living on Noosa Parade is also the domain of the canny and on the wishlist of many,” adds Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 18 September. “Coupled with Noosa Sound’s 47-year compound growth rate of 16 per cent per annum, this confirms the property is a bullet-proof investment.” ●

ON THE COVER
NOOSA SOUND’S RESPLENDENT JEWEL, PRIVATE FRONTAGE INDULGE in the ultimate Noosa Sound lifestyle with a classy yet serene sculptured form in moody-hued grey mist, which evokes privacy and mystery, yet defines the streetscape of this prestigious address. Open the bespoke timber gate inlaid with sandblasted stone, into a courtyard dominated by an extraordinary water feature, and thoughtful established gardens. Cross the threshold and be impressed by lavish finishes such as travertine, lava stone, cedar, American oak and tallow wood, however, it’s the magnetism of being in the dress circle, otherwise known as the cul-de-sac that makes it truly breathtaking. The centrepiece of the residence is undoubtedly abundant spaces, such as immense open-plan yet designated living, dining, and kitchen zones, with floor-toceiling ‘disappearing’ doors, fanning and morphing to 90 degrees in a seamless fashion to outdoors. What a masterstroke, especially when one considers it entails an outdoor room with integrated barbecue facilities and servery from the kitchen on the left. The wide, covered terrace with amazing bonsai trees and shrubs, continues across the width of the residence, including the living areas and the master suite, with its walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom. The ‘fan’ opens further, giving way to an almost unbelievable boat ramp and lush lawn on the right and a timber deck which extends to a T-shaped jetty in-between. And what’s on either side? A glistening whitesand beach on the 38-metre riverfront, just pleasure boat-lengths away on the whisperquiet side of the waterway near the Lions Park. In the west wing is a bedroom with built-in robe, media room with custom-built bookcases, bathroom with double shower
and free-standing egg-shaped tub, also a laundry room, and stairs to next level generosity. The retreat with brushbox flooring, currently used as an art studio, has a bar/ kitchenette; the curvaceous wall on the north-side opens to a balcony with those wide water views, as does the expansive office; and the coppertone tiles in the bathroom are genius. In the west wing are two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, one with a balcony looking over the water, and both share a bathroom and powder room. “Living in a residence of this calibre in a privileged location with nothing but sand and water out the front, really is the top prize,” remarks Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Mal Cox, who has slated the property for auction on Saturday 28 August 2021, adding “especially for boating, kayaking and swimming enthusiasts, also those desirous of being a five-minute walk to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach”. The kitchen features stone bench tops, oak trim, all Gaggenau appliances, including a three-door refrigerator, dishwasher, steam/convection ovens, double heating drawer, induction stove top, walk-in pantry, soft-close one drawers and servery with slide away bifolds. Outside there is spotted gum & merbau decking, 50,000l underground rainwater tank, bonsai potted trees (some inclusions), and low maintenance gardens. The land area is 810m2, the water frontage is 38.3 metres and the house area is 587m2. The three car garage and dedicated workshop with sealed flooring includes storage racks and full drive through access to the boat ramp. ●

PROPERTY NEWS From page 3 Coming to auction with Nathan on Friday, August 27, at 2pm is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with single-car garaging at 1/16 Katharina St, Noosa Heads. “It’s a really tidy unit,’’ he said. “ ... a good holiday let. “The interstate owner uses it a couple of times a year, and it has forward bookings through to the end of December if needed.’’ In a small complex of eight, it is seen as a good stepping stone for someone looking to move to Noosa, a perfect holiday unit, or for permanent rentals. FINDING GOLD NEAR THE RIVER If you can find single-level living, privacy, gardens and low body corporate fees in a location near the river in Noosaville then it is gold, especially with the downsizer demographic. Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents had nine registered bidders for the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car villa at 5/36 James St on Saturday morning. Four were on-line bidders, one on the phone and four present - from Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and locals. “There are a lot here in Noosa who just haven’t gone home after the borders closed,’’ Scott said. “It was a good auction. Bidding was from $700,000 and went fairly quickly in 25s then in 10s to $850,000, and fives to $900,000. “It was sold to locals, downsizing.’’ The appeal for most of the interest was the location, in a small complex of eight that were all stand-alone and single level each with their own garden. Scott and Kelsie now have four new listings - two apartments in Munna Cres, one in Lake Weyba Dve, a house in Safari St, Noosa Heads, and a townhouse in Douglas St, Sunshine Beach. They have had a lot of phone calls already on the two-bedroom, two-bathroom Douglas St townhouse, and the first chance to see it at last Saturday’s open home due to tenants being in place. “Generally there is very good inquiry and we are receiving offers sight unseen on all of them,’’ Scott said. “It’s been a matter of waiting for people to be able to come through.’’ HEART-WARMING RESULT With auctioneer Gordon Macdonald wearing the cap “We never give up’’ the auction of the three-bedroom house at 2 Clarinda Rd, Ninderry on Sunday was always going to be a success. The house, on 5156sq m, was donated to the Queensland Lung Transplant Support Group with all proceeds going to the charity. Kate Cox and Tony Cox of Reed & Co were among a long list of businesses to donate their services to the auction. The previous owner, Catherine Davies, was a 14-year heart-lung transplant survivor. After her passing, she left her home and all the proceeds of its sale to the group to provide accommodation for carers and families of the transplant patients. “It was an amazing auction,’’ Kate said. “Incredible. 30 NOOSA TODAY

OPPORTUNITY CALLS ... BUT ONLY BRIEFLY THE developers of Lumina, Settler’s Cove, have announced the final luxury apartment release of the popular L2 development. Consisting of only two apartments, it’s a rare release in what is fast becoming one of Noosa’s most sought-after and tightlyheld enclaves. Set high on the banks of the Noosa River and surrounded by protected bushland, the L2 Lumina Residences is ideal for those looking for a tranquil Noosa lifestyle, yet with the convenience of being only minutes away from the dining, shopping and attractions of Noosa Junction, Hastings Street and Main Beach. Each of these bright and spacious apartments consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a floor area of 262m2. Two large balconies offer views over natural bushland at the rear, and over the resort-style pool and tropical gardens at the front. High 2.65m ceilings in the living areas and bedrooms provide a cool, light airiness to the apartments. The main bedrooms also feature a walk-in robe. The beautifully designed and appointed
interiors include high-end features, such as Italian stone tiling, bespoke timberwork and New Zealand wool carpets. Villeroy & Boch fixtures and fittings are used throughout. The large kitchens feature a soft, curved free-form design island bench as their centrepiece. A continuous 7m Caesarstone workbench leads into a concealed walk-in pantry. American Oak panelling gives the kitchens a luxurious warmth.
For outdoor entertaining, each apartment includes an outdoor servery, equipped with an under-bench fridge, sink and cooktop. The apartments share a private lobby, with a large 17-person lift providing access to the foyer and secure underground parking. Each apartment includes two parking bays with integrated storage. An advanced automated lighting and security intercom system provides great
convenience and security. Common facilities include a heated pool, jacuzzi, parkland barbeque and servery, air-conditioned gymnasium and an on-site manager. With the great interest in L2 Lumina Residences and the Settler’s Cove precinct generally, this final release of Apartments 28 and 29 is being presented on an ‘expression of interest’ basis and closes 31 August. ●

UNDISPUTEDLY STUPENDOUS JEWEL ADMIRE dramatic hillsides sculpted by nature’s best verdant offerings, revel in the sweeping driveway wreathed by topiarised Ficus, be in awe of the centrepiece perched sublimely on an idyllic knoll which steals the limelight of the substantial estate, and sigh. From the residence’s forecourt, step into the vast travertine-tiled vestibule, with timber beams and lofty-ceilings. There’s a sense of indisputable splendour, fashioned with clever design responses, surrounded by Mt Cooroy, lush rainforests also eagle’s eye views over the Coral Sea. This is a private, stunningly majestic oasis that totally connects to the spectacular location. Inside, be instantly besotted. Parquetry flooring flows from the foyer and beyond to a cathedral-height ceiling above designated formal dining and living with travertine flooring and dual stone fireplace feature wall. The spaces extend in a transparent fashion out to a casual rock-walled dining terrace, while on the northerly aspect, indoors becomes outdoors with the most dazzling wet-edge pool and plush lawn on two sides vying for attention. Reminiscent of a museum of modern art and design, is a fine assemblage of chandeliers, lamps, bold lanterns and books, decadent furniture, as well as outstanding artworks and artifacts, many bearing the rich provenance of Africa and Asia. Complementing the clever design and grandeur is the commercial-grade custom kitchen and butler’s pantry with leatherhoned black granite bench tops, dark and light oak cabinetry with inlaid mesh, a wealth of absolutely high-end appliances, a cool room, also a wide electric-powered picture window, which opens to a servery for the Mediterranean-style terrace with its pizza oven and fire pit. The east wing is all about next level luxe, privacy and breathtaking. Occupied solely by the sumptuous master suite, sliding doors access a walkway, the sitting room spells relaxation, chandeliers ‘dress’ the bedside tables, ensuite walls and floors are white honed leather marble, and drink in ravishing views from the over-size freestanding oval tub. There’s no denying the 70m2 dressing room with tactile surfaces and brown suede robe doors is every fashionista’s dream. To one side of the master is a guest suite with marble floors and walls in the ensuite and floor–to–ceiling built-in black suede-covered robes. Joined by covered walkway to the east of the dressing room is another marble ensuited bedroom currently configured as a gym. Downstairs in the east wing is a living area with kitchenette, a master-style bedroom with a bath in the ensuite, walk-in
robe, and access to the covered walkway. In the west wing you find a similar stylish bedroom with matching features although with a more studio layout and views to Lake McDonald. The highlight of downstairs, joining the east and west wings, is the state-of-the-art media room with feature screen, reclaimed Russian elm panelled wall and two portholes looking into the pool. In addition, there’s a second study and access to the humidity-controlled wine room and cellar with provision for 2000 bottles. Adding six-star pizzaz to the understated glamour of this natural paradise is its helicopter landing pad designed by McDermott Aviation, a five-person lift, a Tylo steam room, gymnasium and outbuildings which complement the residence and house machinery to uphold the botanical gardens-style landscaping. “The sensitively crafted estate blends perfectly into the natural terrain and has sublime 180-degree views,” commented Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart and principal Tom Offermann. “It’s a place in which, somewhere between the sea spray of Noosa Main Beach 20-minutes away, and the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, it’s possible to lose yourself completely. ●

LAGUNA RECORDS STRONG YEAR BY ERLE LEVEY THERE was a reason to cheer at Laguna Real Estate's 2020/21 financial year breakfast with the agency recoding one of its best years in four decades. Principal Olivier Miller had the pleasant task of thanking all staff from the Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Tewantin and Gympie offices for their contribution over the past 12 months. "Despite Covid-19, Laguna has had one of its best years ever – something we should be very proud of,” she said. "I commenced my real estate journey in 1980 by completing a full real estate licence course at Nambour with the likes of Warren Evans, Bob Goode and Lochie Leishmann which lead me to start with Laguna Real Estate in 1984. "At this time most of our listings were open listings, hardly any advertising was spent. We sold properties in Noosa very much by word of mouth which could take up to six months to sell. "Now it is all about obtaining an exclusive listing, getting marketing to highlight the property in the best possible light therefore creating competition and achieving the highest price for our sellers. "Covid has come at a cost to our holiday department with the countless lockdowns causing the postponing hundreds of bookings but the team has done it brilliantly and with a smile still on their faces. "The permanent property management department has seen many of their landlords moving into their properties. "All our department leaders and front office team members are highly commended for their outstanding contribution. "It has been very much the changing of the guard this year with some of our senior members retiring and others moving in different directions. "So, a new chapter begins, and I would noosatoday.com.au

Laguna Excellence Award: Anita Nichols Highest Number of Sales: Rob Nimmo Highest Value of Sales and Commission: Melanie Butcher All Rounder Award: Warren Evans Warren summed real estate up perfectly by saying it has been fabulous to work with Laguna for the past 10 years or so. "In real estate there is real camaraderie. "There's nothing better than starting the day in Noosa - to live and sell in one of the greatest spots on earth. "It's a fabulous lifestyle and it has been a wonderful journey.” ●
