Kin Kin road win

By Margaret Maccoll A section of the Pomona-Kin Kin Road between Williams and Turnbull roads, identified as a priority section will be widened through a $6 million project aimed at improving safety.

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien said the Australian Government would contribute $4.8 million and the Queensland Government $1.2 million to make the road safer.

“These are state roads, which means the Queensland Government is responsible for their improvement, repair and maintenance,

but this funding from the Australian Government encourages them to prioritise and fast track these projects and get on with the job of making these roads safer for all road users,” he said.

The funding comes after both Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart have made repeated requests to the Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Minister to act on Kin Kin residents’ safety concerns about the more than 200 a day Kin Kin Quarry trucks using the road.

Ms Bolton thanked TMR Minister Mark Bai-

ley and the department for prioritising 800m of the northern identified section and submitting it to the Road Safety Program for Federal Government funding of $4.8 million and funding the balance of $1.2 million from TMR’s budget.

“As I have said in Parliament, the danger this road presents combined with inappropriate volume of heavy haulage, to our community and visitors, cannot be understated. This is one step in helping to create greater safety, and I am deeply appreciative of all who have worked in these efforts” she said.

TMR have advised that depending on out-

comes from ecological investigations and any influence they may have on the final scope of works, construction could commence early next year and take approximately seven months, she said.

“Yes there will be disruption, as there is also a scheduled replacement of Six Mile Bridge #7 next year. However, the wellbeing of residents and road users is paramount and these works, once completed, will provide the greater safety that has been sought for many years, and I ask for patience in the upcoming months,” she said.

Is everyone sick of hearing about Covid every time they turn on the TV or radio?

I am and I’m fairly news-obsessed.

So for a break, here are a few Covid jokes, courtesy of The Scotsman.

“If I keep stress-eating at this level, the buttons on my shirt will start socially distancing from each other!

Back in my day, you would cough to cover up a fart. Now, with Covid-19, you fart to cover up a cough.

The World Health Organisation announced that dogs cannot contract Covid-19. Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out” I never thought the comment “I wouldn’t touch them with a six-foot pole” would become a national policy, but here we are”.

To get back to Covid seriously, parts of NSW have now been in Covid lockdown for eight weeks and their state government is talking about increasing vaccinations and learning to live with it.

I’m all for vaccination, and following the science, see it as the only effective way forward, but how hard would living with it be if people continue to catch the virus even if vaccinated and people, particularly those unvaccinated, die from the illness, after we’ve all worked so hard and sacrificed so much to try and eliminate it.

It’s an uncertain road ahead, that’s for sure.

“Improvised” Jazz Party After another difficult year, the Noosa Jazz Party has shrugged off its problems and will present almost a week of fabulous jazz at different venues, starting on Wednesday.

The fun starts with two nights of dinner jazz with The Jazz Factory at Fratellini Restaurant in Sunshine Beach. On Wednesday 1 September The Jazz Factory will entertain diners from 6pm, and on Thursday 2 September, they’ll be joined by the renowned jazz trumpeter Peter Uppman. Tickets for those are available from 54748080.

On Saturday 4 September, Jazz with Rhythm Melodique at Frenchie’s in Thomas Street, Noosaville from noon, presented by The Islander Resort, bookings 07 5415 1829.

Noosa Council backflips on Peregian Beach STAs Over four hours of debating, Noosa Councillors at council’s general meeting decided to approve short-term-accommodation (STA) applications for two Peregian Beach properties, a month after rejecting a similar application.

Last month, councillors refused a STA application in a medium/high density zone in Peregian Beach after staff said 50 per cent of dwellings in the area were STAs which was depleting the dwellings available for permanent housing and impacting permanent resident amenity.

This month, councillors approved the STA applications against staff recommendations that mirrored those put forward a month earlier.

Cr Tom Wegener asked officers how amenity was measured and was told it was something planners talked a lot about but could be subjective, with measures based largely on complaints of noise and car parking.

“Amenity is an important asset,” Cr Wegener said. “It’s what we moved here for. STAs are eroding that asset. It’s our job to protect it.”

Cr Frank Wilkie said councillors had an opportunity to not worsen the housing availability crisis facing Noosa. He said visitor accommodation needed to be in the mix but not dominate, and a Scanlon development underway on the former caravan site would deliver ample visitor accommodation with an extra 99 visitor beds to Peregian Beach.

“There is clearly no need for more visitor accommodation in this region,” he said.

Mayor Clare Stewart questioned the data, the number of STA applications council had received for existing STAs and new STAs under the superseded plan and, with the increased migration to Noosa, the number of people living permanently in them.

Cr Amelia Lorentson said of the 334 STAs mapped in the region, 94 were townhouses, 77 apartments, 149 houses, four were home-

hosted accommodation and four were secondary dwellings.

She said the number one industry in Peregian Beach was food and beverage and visitor accommodation was vital to the businesses.

The Scanlon development currently under construction had applied for permanent housing in its development application but was refused by Council, the meeting heard.

Until Council completes its updated Housing Needs’ Assessment which is expected in October it relies on its current Housing Needs’ Assessment prepared in 2017 by Briggs & Mortar Pty Ltd and a “range of data”.

Cr Stewart asked what had changed that had led officers to recommend refusal of the STA application, and was told staff had assessed the application against the planning scheme, the mix of accommodation in the area, and the concern that Noosa was in a housing crisis and STAs were contributing to the housing crisis.

Cr Stewart said the applications met

council’s planning codes and there was no evidence STAs were causing the housing crisis.

It’s about fairness, consistency, an even playing field. If this had come before us in February, it would have been approved, she said.

Cr Brian Stockwell said there were valid arguments on both sides but the difficulty for councillors was the data available to them was dated.

It may be easy to assume we have more STAs but about a year ago Tourism Noosa was saying there were more people moving to STAs to live in them permanently, he said.

Until council has the updated information in October, he would not support refusing the application, he said.

At council’s ordinary meeting the majority of councillors voted to approve both Peregian Beach STA applications with councillors Frank Wilkie and Tom Wegener voting against the approval.

Taking on the Showdown

By Phil Jarratt The brainchild of former Powderfinger drummer and now screenwriter, Jon Coghill and friends, the Sunny Coast Showdown is offering our local creative wannabes the chance to win $5000 in funding and be mentored by film and television heavyweights during the development and production of their projects.

The first of what its organisers hope will become an annual competition fostering filmmaking skills on the Coast, the Showdown is looking for “an awesome idea for a short film, animation project, reality show or music video”.

Well, Peregian Beach’s Di Seels has got plenty of them!

Only a year out of a highly successful but high pressure career in the medical sciences, she credits not her academic background but growing up on a farm in NSW for the creative inspiration behind her favourite entry, a children’s animation called Rise And Shine, which introduces the resilient and colourful bird Happy Humming Heartly.

Says Di: “I’m not an animator but I’m a good ideas person, not so much because of my background in medical science but because I’ve come from a very grounded background, growing up on a farm. The ideology behind Rise And Shine comes from that. My dad brought me up to be quite resilient and be grateful for what we had. These days I don’t see a lot of kids who have that resilience, and in this world of instant gratification they don’t show a lot of patience. Heartly aims to teach them that while entertaining them.”

The projected six-episode series deals with themes such as resilience, happiness, adaptability and gratitude. The script was a collaboration with friends and the voice of Heartly comes from Jasmine Stokes, daughter of the late ABC presenter John Stokes, and a family friend. Along the way, Di has been mentored

Showdown founder Jon Coghill. by film and design academics Wayne Taylor and Uwe Terton – both of whom advised her to trust her instincts rather than study their courses. It was Uwe who put her in touch with animator Stephen Hamacek, and Di is at pains

Picture: SUPPLIED to point out that the actual animation is all Stephen, not her.

She says: “The way I approach animation is that I do the rough sketches and come up with the ideology behind it, where I want it to go.

I doodle while I’m doing Sudoku and I came up with this bird sketch, and I started thinking about it as a theme for a children’s animation.

Di’s second venture into the world of animation is aimed at adults, but again it has a social conscience at its core. Di explains: “Kookaburra Grove is a collaboration with a guy called Richard Foster. It’s about five families that live in a cul de sac, and it’s all about their multicultural differences. There’s an Indigenous couple, a Muslim couple, an Asian family and a Greek family, whose son Con is gay and coming out. It’s about the fact that it’s OK to be different and it should be respected.

So, I’ll be competing against myself in the animation section!”

Di’s third entry is a lifestyle documentary series with the working title Great Australian Beach Shacks and, not surprisingly, she chose a friend’s getaway at Teewah to demonstrate the ethos of the series in her “sizzle reel”. And again, Di puts her strong views about how it should be made ahead of commercial considerations.

She says: “Foxtel wanted to put it on their History Channel but I thought that was wrong for it. My friends couldn’t believe I did that, and it was probably bad judgement on my side. But I just have a vision for it that I don’t think would have been delivered in that environment.”

It’s a courageous approach, but that’s how Di Seels rolls, and she will soon know if she rolls into the money in the Showdown. Entries close on 3 September and the shortlist will be announced on 17 September, with winners announced in October and presented at a gala night in January. For more information go to sunnycoastshowdown.com.au Says Di Seels: “I don’t care if I win or not, I just want to get these projects over the line.

Nothing would please me more than to hear kids running around saying, I want to be resilient like Happy Humming Heartly!”

Vaccine rollout ramps up with the new Pfizer doses “We’ll also work hard to provide vaccines to airport workers and Queenslanders in border communities.

“We are ready. We will continue to ramp up as long as the Federal Government deliver more vaccines.”

The Premier said almost 4200 doses had been administered within 24 hours at the South Bank vaccination location at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

“We’ve nearly tripled the daily output since opening 12 days ago - in total, we’ve administered more than 35,000 doses at this site,” she said.

“This is a great achievement and good news for people living in Brisbane, as this output will progressively increase.”

Across the state, more than 1.21 million vaccine doses have been administered at Queensland Health vaccination locations to

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said this was in addition to the 1.9 million doses administered by GPs and community pharmacies, bringing the state’s total administered vaccine doses to more than 3.1 million.

“Over the next 30 days, more than 141,000 appointments are currently booked for a first dose, and more than 183,000 appointments are booked for a second dose across the state’s clinics,” she said.

Queensland’s vaccine rollout will ramp up even further from this week as Pfizer supply increases.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the first batch of the Pfizer supply sourced from Poland was set to arrive in Queensland this week.

She said Queensland had been allocated 136,000 doses with the first batch of 69,000 doses set to arrive this week and the second batch due to arrive in the week commencing 6 September.

“With the ongoing threat of the deadly Delta variant, it’s now more important than ever before for Queenslanders to get vaccinated,” the Premier said.

“These doses will be administered throughout Queensland, with a focus on Brisbane’s south, Caboolture, the Gold Coast and Townsville.

Hey Bill downsizes

By Margaret Maccoll Concerns were raised when Noosa’s most famous trader ’Hey Bill’ Watson posted his tractor stall for sale on social media, but rest assured, he’s not going anywhere.

Bill said the iconic stall is just to be scaled down to a more streamlined version, which he already has, that will more easily cruise through the beach crowds.

At 72 years, Bill said it was time to downsize, discard some of his items such as coffee, and stick to the essentials of water and shaved ice.

Bill has had inquiries from Townsville and Brisbane from potential buyers.

And will they be keeping the name?

“They’d be mad not to,“ Bill said. “I’m known all over the world.“

Kin Kin works From page 1 This week Ms Bolton passed on the funding announcement to members of the Kin Kin Roundtable, a group initiated by Noosa Council to bring together stakeholders including state and local government representatives and residents.

“In May we conducted a survey as to whether works identified at the ‘bookends’ of the range, totalling three kilometres, were supported by those impacted daily by the deteriorating conditions. Over 83 per cent were in support, with the balance rejecting as understandably concerned that any works may increase the size and volume of these trucks,” she said. “I have been assured this is not the case as the Quarry Management Plan determines volume, and the road classification determines the size. These works do not change the current road classification, neither does it change the commitment from Council and myself to do all possible to lessen the impacts to these communities through a reduction in heavy haulage numbers.”

“TMR have commenced consultation with Council and any neighbouring property owners who could be impacted, and we look forward to seeing the final designs” Ms Bolton said they would continue to advocate for funding for the remainder of the ‘book ends’, approximately two kilometres, for which TMR continues to progress detailed designs.

More information on the project will be uploaded to Noosa 360 at sandybolton.com, with enquiries to North Coast TMR at (07) 5451 7055.

Tewantin’s birthday riddle

By Phil Jarratt So is 150 or 151 this year?

We all know that Tewantin is the oldest real town in Noosa Shire, but was it proclaimed in 1870 or 1871? This is the question that has been burning away since the Tewantin Heritage and Historical Society had to cancel its annual pioneers’ luncheon last year because of Covid-19. It was felt the pioneers had missed out on an important celebration of their town’s rich history.

But then along came historian Jonathan Richards whose attention to detail in tracking

down obscure pieces of Queensland history is legend. Jonathan, who last year was one of two historians-in-residence at Noosa Library, shared some juicy nuggets of information with Noosa Heritage coordinator Jane Harding, and soon found himself with a commission to investigate further.

As was revealed by Jonathan himself at the 2021 pioneers’ luncheon, held at Tewantin RSL last Monday, the township of Tewantin was proclaimed not once but twice, and the second one, in 1871, was the one that mattered.

There was an audible gasp from the pioneers as the truth was revealed, followed by a huge

sigh of relief. Let the celebrations begin!

It turns out, as the learned Richards revealed during an entertaining talk, the August 1870 proclamation was a bit premature, the work of the esteemed but perpetually broke government surveyor Clarendon Stuart, who was touting for the job of surveying the town site. In fact, although the movers and shakers of goldrush Gympie very much wanted a port they could call their own, they were at the time embroiled in a nasty stoush with the burghers of Maryborough, who saw such a move as damaging to the future of their own river port.

While the fight dragged on, no land at the

Tewantin site was offered for sale and Clarendon Stuart’s proclamation was widely ignored.

However, Gympie was not a town of quitters, and by early 1871, they had the numbers to force the issue. On 15 July 1871 the amended Town Reserve of Tewantin – it had to be moved slightly to exclude the selection of Grainger Ward - was gazetted.

So the pioneers missed out again, but only by a few weeks, and that was a cause for celebration in itself. And next month will mark the 150th anniversary of the first land sale, so keep your party hats at the ready.

“A great day will be had and maybe a few adoptions as well,“ she said.

Nicole said there were a number of dogs, particularly large dogs, looking for new homes at the centre as well as cats.

She said with rents rising in Noosa the shelter was finding many of their pet adoptions were coming from outside the shire with some people in the shire struggling with costs.

All proceeds from the day will go toward the animals in care at the shelter.

Sunshine Coast 2032 Olympic Games taskforce

By Ian Jobling Fairfax MP Ted O’Brien hosted a gathering last week of more than 100 to discuss the formation of a Sunshine Coast 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Taskforce.

On 21 July the IOC awarded Brisbane and surrounding regions the 2032 Games and Ted O’Brien, as the Prime Minister’s representative for the Games, was a member of the bidding group.

Mr O’Brien, who was in ‘lockdown’ in Canberra due to Covid-19, spoke by video link to the audience gathered at the Maroochydore Surf Club on 17 August about a local taskforce on the Sunshine Coast to promote and coordinate local opportunities associated with the 2032 Games.

Kevan Gosper, a Noosa resident, 1956 Olympian, and former President of the Australian in Olympic Committee and Vice-President of the IOC, was one of several speakers

who endorsed the ideas and enthusiasm Mr O’Brien had addressed via the big screen.

It was encouraging that several Olympians (Alana Boyd, Barry Cheales, Benny Pike, and Larry Sengstock) joined many other persons associated with sport from the regions along the coast from Caloundra to Noosa Heads and the hinterland. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, and the Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, were also present.

A key aim of the meeting was for a group of

like-minded people from across the region to come together to meet and discuss the ‘why’ (the mission), the ‘what’ (terms of reference), the ‘who’ (the people and organisations) and the ‘how’ and ‘when’ (the next steps) for the establishment of a taskforce. This was facilitated for much of the time when the nine persons seated at the 12 round tables addressed each of the above matters and responded to the entire audience the principal ideas and recommendations.

Missing woman’s car found in waters off Bribie Island Queensland Police investigating the disappearance of a 36-year-old woman, missing since December 30 in the Caboolture area, have located a vehicle following a marine search.

Around 8am Water Police and Dive Squad officers began a search operation in waters off Bribie Island and Sandstone Point.

A submerged vehicle, believed to be a fourwheel-drive belonging to missing woman Amy Schulkins, was found around 11am on Friday 20 August and pulled from the water.

Further forensic examinations of the vehicle are ongoing.

Boats collide in Mooloolaba

Police are looking for further information regarding this vehicle or the man described.

Frangipani thief sought Noosa Police are appealing for information in regard to three evergreen frangipani (plumeria obtuse) trees stolen from Ernest Street in Tewantin.

A man and a dual cab utility were spotted on the street on CCTV footage on 17 March at around 3.30am.

Police are seeking further information in relation to the man who is described as ap-

proximately 180cm tall, Caucasian with short hair or balding.

If you have any information, including CCTV or dashcam vision or you were an eyewitness to the vehicle, contact police.

Extensive searches have failed to locate the vehicle and police are appealing for anyone who has seen the vehicle or driver to contact Policelink.

Sunshine Coast Water Police have advised members of the public may observe debris wash up on local beaches following a two-boat collision off the Sunshine Coast on 21 August.

Initial investigations indicate about 3.40pm, two boats collided off the coast five nautical miles east of Mooloolaba.

Water Police officers took two people to land for assessment of their injuries by Queensland Ambulance Service personnel and both were taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital for treatment.

One vessel involved in the collision has sunk, while the other was towed to land by the Mooloolaba Coast Guard.

Water Police and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority are jointly investigating the cause of the crash.

Debris including life jackets and personal items are expected to wash up on nearby shores over the next few days as a result of the crash.

Members of the public can report found property at their local police station.

Tributes flow for Barb

By Abbey Cannan The community has paid tribute to muchloved Noosa local Barb Hannon, remembering her for her charm and generosity, after she suddenly passed away in her home.

The Noosa Farmers Market, Noosa Women’s Shed and the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club are just a few of the groups to which she devoted her talents and passion.

Barb’s daughter, Georgie Hannon said she hoped she would be remembered as “a selfless, generous mum, and a great, loyal friend to lots of Noosa people, but also from her hometown of Johannesburg“.

Barb was the only child of German parents Werner and Beatrice Schutte, born in Johannesburg, but she spent much of her early life in Europe and Australia.

She worked as a flight attendant and travelled the world, eventually marrying an American, Edward (Jay) Hannon, in the ‘70s and having a son, Matt, and a daughter, Georgie.

The family left South Africa at the height of apartheid wishing to move to Australia to join family in Sydney, however, due to migration quotas, they had to wait five years for their visa, which were spent in Connecticut, USA. The family settled initially in Sydney before moving to Noosa about 20 years ago, following a divorce.

“Selflessly, she gave nearly all of her time and energy to us kids until we were old enough to fend for ourselves, move out and gallivant around the world,“ Georgie said.

“Noosa offered mum a place to rest and recover from the end of her marriage and gave her a place in a friendly community, which she had been missing since leaving South Africa.“ Barb had her own fair share of loss in life, including her parents dying when she was young, but didn’t let that stop her from living a life filled with travel and education.

“She was very easy to talk to and very em-

pathetic to people who needed a chat or just some help working out ’life admin’,“ Georgie said.

Barb was very social and enjoyed art, theatre, music and the natural way of life, so Noosa suited her to the core.

“I used to drag mum to my events that I worked on such as Noosa Tri, Jazz Festival and Food and Wine to help sell tickets or whatever, so that we could spend some time together,“ Georgie said.

“She met a number of other like-minded people at these events and the groups that supported them such as the Lions Club.

“She loved the fact she could help the community and enjoy what Noosa had to offer at the same time - not many other towns offer that.

“Additionally she applied that same principle to her work - she loved public and community services whether it was working for Glen Elmes or Shane Stanley or Noosa or Maroochydore youth services.

“Whenever I popped in, I would hear her on the phone, whether it was state parliament, a person in need or a charity, and she’d be helping them work out ’how to get something done’ quickly and efficiently. She wanted to help people with things that they found difficult, whatever it was.“ Georgie said some of their favourite memories included a trip to Bali for Barb’s 60th birthday.

“As a family, we went on wonderful safaris in Botswana, ski trips in Vermont and many a holiday in Noosa, where we enjoyed mum’s cooking and the serenity of her house,“ she said.

Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien said Barb was a stalwart of the Noosa community.

“Having worked for the former State Member for Noosa Glen Elmes, and then later in my office, and I know that she helped thousands of people over many years through her work

in state and federal spheres,“ Mr O’Brien said.

“Kind, compassionate, creative, colourful, charming, generous, thoughtful and witty are just a few of the characteristics that I think of when I think of Barb.

“The Wide Bay team and I will forever hold Barb in the highest regard and we extend our deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones.“ Georgie said her Mum would be in awe with the amount of love and condolence that has been shared to herself and her brother Matt.

“We are both looking forward to being able to get to Noosa together to hold her memorial service and hopefully meet up with some of her friends and anyone wanting to pay their respects,“ she said.

A memorial service will be held at Gregson and Weight Funeral Directors, Noosaville as soon as border restrictions ease.

Celebrity chefs for gala High profile local chefs Peter Kuruvita and Adriano Zumbo and internationally regarded poet Rupert McCall will come out to shine at a special fundraising gala dinner Under the Stars to support the future re-building of the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

The event, on Saturday 11 September, is the brainchild of two locals, founder and vice president of Peregian resident’s association Peregian Family and Friends Inc, Leigh McCready and Christine Mackay from Key Elements.

This year will be the second annual Spirit of Peregian fundraiser held at Peregian, with last year’s event raising $32,000 for the Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade.

Leigh and Christine first worked together at the Sheraton Noosa back in 2006 and recently reunited to create September’s iconic event to support an important community initiative which will benefit future generations of locals and visitors.

Founder and Vice President of Peregian resident’s association Peregian Family and Friends Inc Leigh McCready and Christine Mackay from Key Elements.

“Two years ago, fires swept through our Peregian community and if it wasn’t for the hard work of our emergency services crews, lives, livelihoods and homes would have been lost,” Leigh said.

“Since then, Peregian Family and Friends has raised funds for the heroic work of the Rural Fire Brigade and this year’s efforts will be

directed to the future re-building of the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

“We are beyond thrilled to have renowned poet Rupert McCall attend the evening which coincides with the 20th anniversary of September 11.

“If it wasn’t for Covid, Rupert would have been in America to mark the occasion with his friends at the New York Fire Brigade, so it’s such a privilege to have him with us, and I have no doubt that Rupert’s moving poem A Firefighter’s Dream will be a highlight of the night.”

Noosa Beach House executive chef Peter Kuruvita well remembers the 2019 bushfires and was quick to jump in and lend his support to the gala dinner.

“None of us will forget the 2019 bushfires. It was incredible to see not only how vulnerable our community could be to natural disaster, but also the amazing strength of the emergency services and community to pull together

and support one another,” Peter said.

“Being part of a seaside town, there is no better home for this community spirit than the local surf club, from housing our volunteer lifesavers to teaching water safety to our youth and as a home for community events.

“I am proud to be involved in promoting the future of Peregian Beach SLSC for the generations to come.”

The event will take place in stunning tipis kindly sponsored by local company Tipi Luxe and commences at 4.30pm.

Tickets are available from $280 per person which includes specially curated canapes and a three course meal by Peter Kuruvita and Adriano Zumbo, as well as live music with Rupert McCall as MC. Tickets can be purchased at events.humanitix.com/spirit-of-peregian If Covid interferes, refunds will be available and the event will be postponed.

Biggest crane carries big opportunities for Wide Bay The largest crane on the east coast of Australia will be used to lift 48 massive concrete bridge girders into place for a new bridge on the Bruce Highway over Tin Can Bay Road, as part of the $1 billion Cooroy to Curra Section D Gympie bypass project.

Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien said the giant pre-cast concrete girders would be transported from Brisbane via the Bruce Highway, Brisbane Road, Cootharaba Road, and Tin Can Bay Road to Lockhart Road at Victory Heights.

“Due to the sheer size of these girders, oversize vehicle permits will be used and they will be transported overnight to minimise dis-

ruption to road users,” Mr O’Brien said.

The first batch of 24 girders will be transported between midnight and 6am, from Monday 30 August to 7 September, excluding Friday and Saturday nights, with up to five girders delivered nightly.

Once they are on-site, the girders will be unloaded at night using a 200-tonne crane and stored until the remaining girders are delivered in late September to late October.

“Once all the girders have arrived, the construction crews will set up a 1200-tonne hydraulic crane, which is the biggest on the east coast, and the girders will be installed overnight during the course of a month,

weather permitting,” Mr O’Brien said.

“The equipment used in these works show the sheer scale of the Section D Gympie bypass project and highlight what a landmark project this is, not just for the Gympie region, but through opening up opportunities for all of Wide Bay and Queensland.

“In addition to building a stronger road network and saving lives on the Bruce Highway, these roadworks are already benefiting Wide Bay by supporting 576 jobs throughout construction.”

Due to these works, temporary traffic changes will be in place at Tin Can Bay Road, Victory Heights, and as work progresses be-

tween Sandy Creek Road and Curra, drivers should also be aware that changes are being made to Harvey Siding Road, Tamaree Road, Bannister Road, and the intersection of North Deep Creek Road and Sandy Creek Road.

Electronic signs will be in place to alert drivers to roadworks including changes to line marking and signage, trimming of vegetation to improve visibility, and speed limit reductions on roads where increased construction traffic, including heavy vehicles are expected.

Traffic control will also be in place during the work to ensure the safety of road users and construction workers.

Milestone plan adopted The release last week of the latest report by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has not necessitated any change to the Climate Change Response Plan adopted last week by Noosa Council.

It sets out actions for Council and the community to boost Noosa’s resilience to hotter temperatures, bushfires, extreme weather events and other climate change impacts.

Developed with community input, the plan also includes actions to slash greenhouse gas emissions.

“Zero Emissions Noosa Inc congratulates Noosa Council for adopting this Plan,” Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN Inc) president Anne Kennedy said.

“It provides a roadmap for us all in the Noosa community to do our bit locally to reduce our carbon emissions to help deal with climate change. ZEN Inc looks forward to working with Council to implement this Plan to help the Noosa community to reach its target of net-zero emissions by 2026.”

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said renewable energy, sustainable transport, waste reduction, energy efficiency and sustainable agriculture were just some of the issues the plan puts firmly on Council’s radar.

“Adopting this plan is a significant milestone for Council. It’s a blueprint for how we tackle a wide range of climate risks as well as reduce our community’s carbon emissions and costs. It is future focused and identifies opportunities for the shire,” Cr Wilkie said.

A new community reference group soon to be established - will help implement the plan’s actions.

“Importantly the plan considers not only the challenges climate change presents, but also the economic, social and environmental opportunities, such as fostering clean

Noosa Council has adopted a Climate Change Response Plan for the shire.

Picture: NOOSA BIOSPHERE RESERVE technology industries and employment, for example.

“A proactive approach also ensures we’re tackling issues like providing a climate-resilient built environment.”

The Climate Change Response Plan sits above the Coastal Hazards Adaption Plan (CHAP), which is at an advanced draft stage following further consultation with key stakeholders and the public.

“Whereas the CHAP deals with just one aspect of climate change, the Climate Change Response Plan goes much wider.

It provides important direction on how we can all do our bit as a community to tackle climate change,” Cr Wilkie said.

“It builds on the work Council has been doing since 2016 to slash its own operational emissions to net-zero by 2026.”

Environment and Sustainable Planning Director Anthony Dow said Council was pleased to receive $310,000 from the state government to collaborate with fellow south east Queensland councils on climate change resilience pilot projects.

“We look forward to working together with our SEQ neighbours to develop a set of robust region-wide actions that benefit all of our communities, while raising awareness of the climate risks and their implications,” Mr Dow said.

Dr Ipek Kurtböke inspects some sea foam samples in the laboratory.

Sea foam in Mooloolaba in 2009.

Sea foam studies search, started in Melbourne decades ago, could help inform public debate and action.

“Natural sea foam, which frequently appears on ocean shores, is due to gas entrapment inside liquid and it dissipates quickly,” she said.

“However, dark-coloured, stable foams are indicators of chemical pollution such as the presence of asphaltene, pesticides or oil.

“Public awareness is very important in preventing these types of outbreaks.

“The Turkish Parliament formed a Parliamentary Research Commission and an Expert Scientific Committee to tackle the issue with urgency, and investigations and formulation of innovative solutions are underway.”

Dr Kurtboke was invited to take part as an external adviser by one of Turkey’s leading universities, particularly for her expertise and research in the application of bacteriophages.

Eighteen years of USC research on the microbiology of sea foam, often seen along Sunshine Coast beaches after cyclonic rains and storms, have put researcher Dr Ipek Kurtboke in the global spotlight.

The Senior Lecturer in Environmental Microbiology has been sought by Turkish media and professional organisations to provide expertise on the biggest ever outbreak of the foam in Turkey’s Marmara Sea. She has been interviewed by SBS Turkish, on a Turkish nationwide TV channel, newspapers and the Turkish Society for Microbiology, and presented a public lecture online.

Turkish authorities have been engaged in a two-month clean-up of sea foam (colloquially known as sea snot), which threatened both environment and industry in the Marmara Sea, which connects the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea. Dr Kurtboke said she was pleased her re-

“Bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacteria and we have proven in the USC lab that it can be used to break up sea foam,” she said.

“This problem is global, and only by bringing countries’ forces together can long-term solutions be implemented.”

Dr Kurtboke is also presenting online to conferences in Thailand, England and the Philippines in her role as re-elected president of the World Federation for Culture Collections.

“Covid-19 has emphasised the importance of culture collections, where microbial strains are preserved and used for diagnostic and vaccine/drug development,” she said.

Her book Bacteriophages has been downloaded more than 60,000 times.

Dr Kurtboke is a member of USC’s Sustainability and Engagement Forum, which focuses on the sustainable and environmentally friendly development of the region.

Council is reviewing Noosa’s Local Economic Strategy to ensure it remains focused and current and is seeking input from the community.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the world had changed significantly since the strategy was adopted five years ago.

“We need to make sure these longterm plans remain current into the future,” Cr Stewart said.

“This document is key to identifying where we apply our economic development effort.”

“Discussions council has had with local business groups and business leaders suggest key elements of the existing strategy continue to resonate with the community and will be retained and built upon.“ Council has developed a discussion paper which outlines the direction of the revised strategy and is seeking feedback from the community. Centred on the concept of a ’Smart Biosphere’, the proposed direction is underpinned by three guiding principles and three key areas to enable economic growth.

Achieving growth in smart industries, diversifying beyond tourism and population growth and being globally connected, are the key principles of the strategy.

It is these concepts and principles that council wants feedback on.

“I encourage anyone who has an interest in the future of Noosa’s economy to have a read of the discussion paper and complete the survey questions,“ Cr Stewart said.

The discussion paper and survey are available at yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au until 3 September.

Indigenous liaison lesson Noosa District State High School Indigenous Liaison Officer Kajal Charlton ran two workshops for Year 9 Humanities students on colonialism and the impact of European settlement on Australia’s Indigenous people.

Year 9 Humanities students are studying the historical movement of people this term, and the focus over the past few weeks has been on the arrival of the European settlers to Australia and the impact this had on Indigenous people.

Mr Charlton worked with the students analysing Indigenous art that formed a symbolic timeline of important events for Australia’s Indigenous people.

Year 9 student Megan Webberley enjoyed engaging with the art pieces supplied by Mr Charlton.

“There are a lot of take home messages embedded in this art. The more you look at it and think about it, the more you understand and see,” Megan said.

The Year 9s discussed difficult and challenging concepts with Mr Charlton who assisted them by providing an Indigenous perspective.

Mr Charlton shared some personal insights into his experience, especially the difficulties he faced as an adolescent.

“The drawing of the Aboriginal man who is

struggling between the two worlds - the Indigenous world and the white European world really spoke to me. I was just like him, I desperately wanted to fit in and belong somewhere,” Mr Charlton said.

The students found Mr Charlton’s insights, anecdotes and the texts he brought into the workshop most helpful for their upcoming assessment in Humanities where they are to required to write a page of an Australian history textbook.

Mr Charlton will also run an Indigenous history professional development workshop for all NDSHS Humanities teachers later this term.

Radio stars surprise Noosa students with career tips Noosa District State High School Year 11 social and community studies students have thoroughly enjoyed a visit from Hot 91.1 FM’s morning crew Sam Coward and Ashlea Gierke.

Mr Coward and Ms Gierke, ‘Sam and Ash,’ as they are affectionately known on the radio, spoke to the students about their careers in radio and provided the students with advice regarding life post-school.

Mr Coward told the students his parents wanted him to be an ophthalmologist, and he faced immense pressure to achieve well at school.

An intentional non-submission of a final physics assignment meant that Mr Coward did not receive the grade required for tertiary entry into ophthalmology.

“I decided to try out for NIDA instead, because that was where my passion lay, and as fate would have it, I failed at the one thing I really wanted to do. I didn’t get in,” Mr Coward said.

Hot 91.1 FM’s morning crew Sam Coward and Ashlea Gierke with Noosa District State High School Year 11 Social and Community Studies students.

A radio gig was a career Mr Coward had not considered, but the position was offered to him due to his involvement with the Sunshine Coast performing arts in the capacity of director, producer and actor.

“It sounded like a good gig, I decided to give it a go, and haven’t looked back,” Mr Coward said.

The early morning starts required for breakfast radio are not difficult for Ms Gierke

who spent 15 years training in the pool in the lead up to World Cup and Olympic swimming events.

“Unlike Sam, I always knew I wanted to do radio, and I was lucky to score my first job on radio at 21 years of age,” Ms Gierke said.

Ms Gierke advised the students to follow their passions and to find a job they love.

“The day I leave radio is the day I no longer have any passion for it,” Ms Gierke said.

The Year 11s were thrilled to have the morning crew in their classroom for the morning, with student Paige Doran stating this was “the lesson of the year.”

“We learnt so much and their banter was hilarious,” Paige said.

Guest speakers are providing the students with important insights into the world of work this term, with a presentation from the Australian Defence Force and NDSHS graduate Lexi Kehl scheduled for later this week.

They’re riding for a cause

By Erle Levey Are you OK? It’s a simple question but one we’ve learned can have a big impact on someone’s life, especially when they are struggling with everyday problems.

It can start a conversation. One that is needed.

That is the philosophy behind TIACS - This Is A Conversation Starter.

It’s also part of the Master Builders on-going R U OK? campaign in which those in the building industry are encouraged to check on each other.

And it includes the rural industry, highlighted by the Dolly’s Dream initiative in memory of Queensland schoolgirl Dolly Everett.

The fact is, it hits home when someone you know is confronted with mental health problems ... problems that can spiral out of control and result in them ending their life.

Mental health doesn’t discriminate. It can affect anyone, at any time.

On Saturday those associated with horse riding gathered with the wider community at Curra for a day to honour the life of Jayson Robertson who died a year ago.

A horse ride highlighted the day, which also served as a charity fund-raiser for the TIACS foundation and young people at risk.

TIACS foundation was created by Brisbane’s Ed Ross and Daniel Allen, as it had became obvious there was a significant lack of understanding around mental health, particularly among young men.

The idea was to give those at risk the ability to reach out and get support when and for however long they needed it.

Jayson Robertson was involved in the horse training industry, both thoroughbred racing and endurance riding.

His love of horses led to a jockey apprenticeship before riding track work at Gympie.

Jayson also had a passion for endurance riding, helping train horses as well as encourage others to take up the sport.

Saturday’s event was held at Kane and Renee Kelso’s property, Bonnybrooke Stud.

TIACS supporter Trudy Archibald said the day was a huge success, one that showed the depth of feeling for Jayson within the community and the horse riding fraternity.

There were many great conversations and about $1600 raised for the charity.

About 40 riders took part in the 10km and 20km horse rides into the Curra State Forest.

“It was a fantastic result to end up with that amount ... it will be donated straight to TIAC,’’ Trudy said.

“It was such a valuable response from the community. We were very happy with the day.’’

The ride started from the arena Jayson helped build with Kane Kelso.

Much of the timber came from the Robertson family property nearby.

The arena will be a permanent memoir to Jayson.

Renee Kelso said Jayson grew up riding horses around the Curra forestry and North Deep Creek area.

He was guided by his older brother Adrian who was killed in a car accident at the age of 24.

Adrian had been a role model for his younger brother.

“Jayson came to help us through horse training,’’ Renee said.

“We had met through horse racing and that led to endurance riding - he was keen to train endurance horses.

“Being a young fellow, he would come out here when he wasn’t at the track.’’

On Saturday there were riders from local endurance clubs, trail clubs, pony clubs and rodeo club that joined the social event. People from the racing club attended after the race meeting.

There was whip cracking, horseshoe throwing and general good conversations in memory of Jayson.

Everyone gathered to watch the sunset from the hill with a campfire and then dinner afterwards.

“It is great that the support was there,’’ Trudy Archibald said. “Gympie is known for that.

“People were turning up, even if they were not involved with horses.’’

Organisers of the event wanted to give something back to the community and embrace the memory of Jayson.

They looked for the right charity. TIACS was a great fit.

It would really reflect on him, and what could have been done to help him.

The organisation gives support - they open up the lines of communication.

Nobody is turned away.

You don’t have to go to the doctor for a referral and you don’t have to leave your own house to get help.

They employ mental health professionals to make sure the best care is provided.

This is all done in a non-invasive way so there is not a barrier to reaching out to talk with someone about issues they may have.

TIACS has a distinctive clothing label, Trademutt, with all the shirts having the conversation starter strip on the back.

More recently they teamed up with Dolly’s Dream in memory of Dolly Everett.

Saturday’s ride showed how deep Jayson Robertson’s relationship with the Gympie community was.

Organisers said the least they could do was to remember his life and talk about this issue.

(TIACS is a free text and call service direct to mental health professionals.

It exists to remove the physical and financial barriers that have previously existed for people needing to seek professional mental health care. Call 0488 846 988 Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.)

Relishing his service

By Peter Owen Peter Van Zijl, a smile on his face and a menu in his hand, has been one of the enduring features of Noosa Springs for the past two decades, welcoming diners to the resort’s Relish restaurant with Continental charm and laidback style.

Van Zijl, a Dutchman who has called Australia home for 40 years, joined Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort soon after it opened. He’s just celebrated 20 years in the job - an extraordinary milestone for the hospitality industry, and one which Van Zijl can scarcely credit.

“The time’s passed so quickly,” he said.

“Perhaps that’s why I’ve stayed so long.”

Van Zijl’s job title has never changed - he’s the assistant front of house manager - but his responsibilities have evolved and extended over time.

He’s still the man in the white shirt who takes your order in Relish restaurant and brings you a drink on the terrace. But he’s also the one who organises your wedding, sees your conference is running smoothly, and ensures everyone is complying with Covid regulations.

And on one memorable occasion he even acted as a sound consultant when iconic Aussie rock band The Angels was preparing for a concert in Noosa Springs’ Plantation Room.

“The band was performing later that night and they were belting out a rendition of their hit Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?,” he said. “They asked me to stand at the back and let them know how it sounded.”

A butcher by trade, Van Zijl worked in hotels in Brisbane, including the Beaufort Heritage - now the Stamford Plaza - before moving to

Noosa, where he landed a job at famous Coco’s restaurant on the doorstep of Noosa National Park.

When he joined Noosa Springs, the resort was little more than a building site, and staff worked out of demountable buildings.

In the 20 years that followed Van Zijl has seen, and been a part of, Noosa Springs’ transformation into one of Australia’s most successful golf resorts.

He’s met, and served, tens of thousands of people including celebrities such as Prince Harry, Clive James and Alice Cooper.

But it’s the people he works with who Van Zijl recalls with most affection.

“It’s been like a family working here at Noosa Springs,” he said. “You get to know your colleagues, meet their family and share their experiences. It’s been a privilege for me. You have some good days, and many great days.”

He also gets great satisfaction from past guests recognising him and acknowledging his level of service.

“People come back and see me and say, ‘Uou’re still here. You must like it.’ And, of course, they’re right.”

He and his family live at Sunshine Beach, just eight minutes from Noosa Springs, and Van Zijl has cut back his work to four days a week. It gives him time to enjoy his hobbies gardening and walking his pet greyhound.

But the face of Noosa Springs has no plans to retire. Not for another 20 years or so, anyway.

Peter Van Zijl - he’s been at Noosa Springs since before it was built.

Suffice to say French filmmaker Luc Besson likes his characters off-centre; in this case it’s 250 years beyond the present, with a NY cab driver (Bruce Willis) and a mysterious waif (Milla Jovovich) racing against the clock to save the world from evil. The visuals, from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s eccentric costumes to intricately detailed sets and panoramas, are dazzling and plentiful. It’s good versus evil presented with visionary gusto and not just special effects.

SUNDAY

LION SBS WORLD MOVIES, 8.30pm

Based on the incredible memoir of Indianborn Australian Saroo Brierley, Lion tells the tale of Saroo, an Indian boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta and must try to survive before being adopted by a loving Australian family. Twenty-five years later, he sets out to defy the odds and find his lost family with the help of Google Earth and a small store of memories. Starring Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire, right) as Saroo, Nicole Kidman as his adoptive mother Sue, David Wenham as her husband John and Rooney Mara (Carol) as Saroo’s girlfriend Lucy, this film is powerful and heartfelt without being sentimental. An uplifting tale of courage and determination.

SATURDAY

CELEBRITY MASTERMIND SBS, 8.30pm

There’s something enticing about watching a “celebrity” version of a game show. Is it the promise of watching someone you feel like you know lose, or possibly win? Perhaps it’s the thrill of getting to know a well-known person on another level? Whatever it is, there’s intrigue around this season of Celebrity Mastermind, with host Marc Fennell (above) grilling former Australian Idol judge Ian Dickson, musician and actor Ben Lee and former Wiggle Murray Cook, among others. Tonight’s premiere guests are James Mathison, cabaret star Hans, actor John Wood and journalist Patricia Karvelas.

It’s not just the animals and nature that are miraculous in this jaw-dropping series; it’s David Attenborough himself. The muchloved naturalist could have been forgiven for taking on easier projects – or even retiring! – when he reached his mid-80s.

Instead, the passionate wildlife and eco activist set himself a new challenge: to revisit his favourite and most memorable locations and animals to capture them in all their amazing glory using the finest filming technology. It ended up being a sevenyear mission. In these testing times, it’s a joy to behold. Watch out for the Great Barrier Reef sojourn in a state-ofthe-art submarine.

CHALLENGING PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR OUR COMMUNITY COVID-19 has created plenty of uncertainty but council staff continue to respond and deliver to the Noosa community.

In over 30 years of local government, Noosa Council CEO Brett de Chastel described the past 12 months “as one of the most challenging and incredibly busiest years” he’s experienced.

In 2020-21, Over 1.6 million general waste bins were emptied, and our street sweepers serviced a total of 3,700 kilometres, equivalent to driving from Cape York to Melbourne.

Apart from “business as usual”, dealing with the ongoing recovery of bushfires and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have been critical.

Crews resurfaced just under 12 kilometres of roads across the shire.

24 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 August, 2021

Mr de Chastel said staff had gone

“above and beyond” to deliver services to our community.

Noosa Leisure Centre welcomed 80,898 visitors.

“We had over 161,000 customers use our waste disposal facilities and customer service handled 71,000 enquiries over the 12 months,” he said.

Our libraries notched another busy year, with 342,781 items borrowed and visitor numbers totalled 186,228.

In this COVID world, visitor numbers to the Noosa Aquatic Centre were 232,074, while the

COMMUNITY HOUSE UPDATE are completed, we are looking forward to the fit-out of the new community house getting underway and the facility opening for business later this year,” he said.

Work has also commenced on the 4000m² landscaped open greenspace in front of the community house which will create a welcoming green heart to the entire precinct. This area will feature sculptured gardens, a play area, winding footpaths and grassed areas.

“In keeping with well-established Noosa design principles, we have reused sandstone blocks from the temporary path to create a moulded landscape feature that will be a popular place to sit and for kids to play,” Adam said.

Stage 3 of the Peregian Beach Community House

Construction of the Rufous Street Community House is progressing well. By the end of this month, structural components including concrete slabs, steel framework for the roof and walls, roofing and wall cladding will be installed and internal construction underway.

Project Manager, Adam Britton said it was great to see the structure come out of the ground

and the vision of the masterplan, developed hand in hand with the community, really starting to take shape.

“It’s been a busy couple of months, with a steady flow of 50 concrete trucks and over 5660 construction hours worked getting the bones of the new community house in place,” Adam said.

“Once the structural components

“The new community house and greenspace will strengthen the community-based connections to the tennis club, kindergarten, veggie village, Di Hurst Oval and the Digital Hub and be a real asset for the whole community.”

Stage 3 worth $5.2 million is jointly funded by the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and the Queensland Government’s Maturing the Infrastructure Pipeline Program.

FUNDING DELIVERS FACELIFT Reseals part of $4.6 million asset renewal investment If you have driven along Langura Street, Noosa Heads recently, you will notice it’s had a facelift.

The resealing and line marking works, valued at $380,000, have been fully federally-funded under the Local Road and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) Program.

project is part of the ongoing $4.36 million worth of asset improvements under LRCI program for Noosa which will continue over the next two years.

“Our next stop with the road reseal program will be Pomona, where we will be working on Ambulance Street, Belwood Place, Pioneer Road, Pottery Street, School Street and Smedley Drive,” he said.

Now complete, these works will improve safety and traffic access through this high traffic area, as well as provide enhanced accessibility for the nearby police station, fire station and ambulance service.

“Later this year, we will move onto streets in Tewantin, Cooroibah and Noosaville.”

According to Alex Neville, Acting Asset Planning Manager, this

The LRCI Program helps local councils deliver priority local road

and community infrastructure projects across Australia, supporting jobs and the resilience of local economies to help communities bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prostate lunch The third annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Lunch hosted by the Noosa Prostate Association has been rescheduled to 2022.

The fundraiser event was not able to be held on 3 August due to a Covid-19 lockdown and has since been rescheduled for Tuesday 1 February at the Noosa Heads Surf Club.

The Noosa Prostate Association committee has considered the seriousness of the current Covid-19 situation with restrictions and lockdowns across Australia, the fact that the vacci-

nation programme has not met expectations, and the availability of the Noosa Heads Surf Club premises.

“We are a registered charity, so cash donations already made by partners and sponsors are tax deductible,“ Noosa Prostate Association chair Ian Miller said.

“These funds will continue to be held by us until the event unless the donor authorises us to disperse the funds to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

A comparison of Games

By Ian Jobling In Noosa Today last week (Brisbane’s Games journey) there was an allusion to the venues which would be utilised and built for the proposed sports to be held for a 1992 Brisbane Olympics.

Brisbane considered it had an advantage over its rivals (Belgrade, New Delhi, Birmingham, Amsterdam, Paris, and Barcelona), as it believed a massive construction program to prepare for the Games was unnecessary because many of the facilities used during the 1982 Commonwealth Games could be adapted.

The map from that bid document depicts the key locations of all the venues.

South Bank, after the Expo ‘88 site had been demolished, would become the Media Village and Centre, which the bid document stated would be ‘the first fully-integrated media and broadcast communication “city“ in Olympic history’.

It can be ascertained that 1992 would have been a ‘Brisbane Games’ - as highlighted with the ‘advantage’ that all sports venues would be within 20kms of the Olympic Village, and less than 30 minutes travelling time.

However, the concept that bidding cities for both the Summer and Winter Olympics should become more regional was already being considered at that time by the IOC. The XVI Olympic Winter Games of Albertville for 1992 was announced in 1986. The bid covered the regions of Albertville in Savoie, France, which embraced 13 different site facilities in a lot of mountain towns and villages spread over thousands of kilometres of tortuous narrow valleys. Similarly, for the 2000 Sydney Games preliminary matches in football (soccer) were played in various cities throughout Australia.

What is of significant interest in relation to the 2032 Olympic Games is that regions north, south, and west of Brisbane are to be utilised.

So, a strength of the 2032 Brisbane bid was that the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, and the Toowoomba region were included as venues for a variety of sports.

As well as the regionalisation of the Olympic Games, as we have seen in the past few 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 August, 2021

The Brisbane 2032 logo has not yet been released.

Expo 88 site, weeks through the television coverage from Tokyo, many new sports, and events within those sports, have been added. This will happen again before 2032 as it is not yet determined which sports will be included.

A comparison of the sports and events included in the 1992 Barcelona and 2020 (2021) Tokyo Olympic Games, provides some background information which may impinge on selection of sports for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.

Space - and time - does not allow for much discussion related to the ‘sports’ which have and/or may be added to the Olympic program of the Games of the XXXII Olympiad in Japan

Los Angeles logo

Paris 2024 logo

Picture: JOHN OXLEY LIBRARY, STATE LIBRARY OF QUEENSLAND In Tokyo there were 5 new sports and 15 new events. New sports included skateboarding, surfing, golf, triathlon and BMX cycling and mountain biking. As examples, the addition of the 10 km ocean swimming and trampolining became events within the sports of swimming and gymnastics, respectively. (See events in bold in the table).

The sports were added, according to a statement by IOC President Thomas Bach, to give the Games a more ‘youthful and urban’ appeal, and to increase the number of female athletes. He added, “The five sports are an innovative combination of established and emerging, youth-focused events that are pop-

ular in Japan and will add to the legacy of the Tokyo Games.”

It was expected there would be 339 events in 13 different sports; the ‘new’ sports were surfing, sport climbing, skateboarding, karate, and baseball.

It is worthwhile stating that the basic requirements for an Olympic sport are that it must have male and female federations in at least five and 40 countries, respectively. An additional guide is that a host country may recommend the addition or deletion of sports based on their strength in the Games or climatic or economic grounds. However, the IOC votes to make the final decision.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Single Coastal Rowing shell in Noosa.

Brisbane 2032 - a decade of decisions.

As journalist Wayne Smith, who now resides at Castaways Beach, wrote under the headline ‘After a mere 2338 days, a dream is realised ... ’: (By 2017) ... “the entire bidding process was about to be turned on its head. Instead of candidate cities being forced to show the IOC what they could do for the Olympic movement, the movement was now bending over backwards to help them. The showcase architecture that had threatened to bankrupt many a host city was giving way to stadiums that could really be downsized. Existing facilities could be called into use. The IOC was even prepared to accept temporary sites that could be removed following the Games.’ (The Australian, 22 July 2021, p.6) At the IOC Congress on July 21 in Tokyo it was announced that Brisbane had been officially granted the right to host the Games of the XXXV Olympiad. This decision was like that LA’28 in that it was decided 11 years in advance. The IOC decisions for Paris, Los Angeles and Brisbane heralded a new policy of awarding the Games.”

There are so many possibilities, questions, and decisions to be made within the next decade, but this article will now focus on the sports and events which may be put forward for inclusion in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

A guide will be which sports have been included in the 2024 Paris Games. The ‘new’ sports in Tokyo - surfing skateboarding, and sport climbing will be retained, and breakdancing will be added. Baseball and karate have been omitted. However, it is likely that both baseball and softball will be included in the inclusion of a Los Angeles Games.

More significantly for the Noosa community is the inclusion within rowing of an event which is ideally suited to Laguna Bay-Main Beach.

What is coastal rowing?

Coastal rowing - where wider and heavier boats venture into the ocean, is officially an event in the 2026 Youth Olympics in Dakar, and has been highly recommended by World Rowing to be considered by the IOC for LA ’28.

Coastal rowers can be seen most days setting off from Pirate Park on Gympie Terrace, out through the Noosa River bar, and into Laguna Bay. Short video clips showing a variety of features of this event may be found on this link: Coastal Rowing and Beach Sprints - Rowing Australia rowingaustralia.com.au Rowing on rough water means coastal rowing is quite different from the flat-water events as it adds a new dimension of understanding

The standard boats are singles (solo), doubles and coxed quadruple sculls and rowers compete in two events. The distances in the endurance event is between 4 - 6km around buoys.

The beach sprint requires a rower running to the boat where its crew is waiting to race around two buoys in a ‘slalom’ route and back to the beach to the finish line.

As mentioned in Noosa Today in past months, the inaugural Australian Championships in Coastal Rowing, which were to be held on Noosa’s Main Beach on August 21-22, have been postponed. Due to recent lockdowns in several states, the event will now be held in Noosa, in 2022, and for the following three years.

Coastal rowing is most likely to be held in Noosa Heads because the north facing Main Beach is protected from the prevailing southeasterly breezes yet regularly provides a half metre swell. It is an event which provides an exciting challenge and spectacle for both participants and spectators.

Certainly, coastal rowing is far better than some other sports which have been touted to the IOC, such as American football, billiards,

There were many sports which were advocated to be included in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

The Brisbane Olympics was to be split into 4 zones - Central City, Boondall, Zone, Chandler, and Queen Elizabeth II – the Olympic Stadium with seating capacity increased from 62,000 to 95,000.

All of us in the private sector understand the urgency of reacting appropriately when outbreaks occur but the consequences of taking actions that close or limit our businesses are massive.

Many businesses have been seriously damaged and even crippled. This cannot go on.

Each time a lockdown is called we are told ‘we are all in this together’, but that is manifestly untrue.

The big boys in town have it sorted as they are permitted to stay open and trade normally.

Meanwhile, independent and small and medium retailers are forced to close, foregoing cash flow and providing windfall profits to businesses allowed to stay open.

This unbalanced response has exhausted or seriously depleted the savings of individual business owners and forced them to lay off most employees.

But it also threatens the whole economy and is killing off innovation, yet government somehow expects all sectors of the economy to survive.

Here in Noosa the tourism, hospitality and accommodation sectors are on their knees.

Government is leaving us to swing in the breeze.

Providing adequate support to small business is now up to government, which needs to pay up, pay amply and pay fast.

Enough is enough, get your act together and save what’s left of our independent business community.

Big business has been favoured for long enough, we cannot over-emphasise the urgency of federal and state governments getting their act together, stop treating small business as disposable and provide an adequate level of financial support required.

The Chamber is calling on Premier Palaszczuk to deliver “immediate and direct” financial compensation for Noosa businesses affected

by Covid restrictions.

While the Queensland Government has imposed these restrictions, it has failed to fully acknowledge or compensate affected businesses that have been directed not to trade or to severely minimise their trade.

Ralph Rogers, Noosa Chamber of Commerce

Who Is Responsible?

On Paul Murray’s Sky News show, Senator Pauline Hanson is using her rights as an Australian citizen to refuse a vaccine that could help protect her from Covid virus, and will take her chances of survival.

As a forgiving natio,n she will be given the very best of our available medical attention to assist her in surviving the initial illness and any rehabilitation needed after.

The question is Pauline, how will you feel if you are proven to be the person that accidentally and not intentionally is found responsible for the death of another Australian? A young child or an elderly person?

Rate Abomination Giving residents an extended period of time to pay their rates DOES NOT change the fact that the rate increase is an abomination. Support would be to readdress what has occurred.

Please council, do not make yourselves out to be the ‘good guys’ here.

Judy Davies, Noosaville

Yes To VAD I’ve just read Robert Leach’ s editorial on the VAD legislation now before the Queensland.

Parliament. I’m told it will be a conscience vote on both sides of party politics.

It is noticeable that Mr Leach doesn’t have one....a conscience, that is.

I doubt Mr Leach has ever witnessed a loved one being treated for a terminal illness while begging for the pain, both physically and, most importantly, emotionally, to end.

You see Mr Leach, it’s not really about the physical pain people have while enduring a life of degradation and despair, it’s about their emotional and mental health.

People like you don’t understand this. And you won’t until it happens to you or a loved one.You and others, including Queensland parliamentarians and bureaucrats, who take the moral high ground and want to play GOD with someone else’s life, have no right to do so unless the person who you love and is dying gives you permission to do so. No one should have the right to deny another person their self respect and dignity when it comes to a choice as to when and how they will die.

You choose increased medication that usurps that choice. You prefer to turn people wanting that choice into mindless vegetables.

And that is why people in their ’end game’ choose suicide.When you’re born into this world, you do not get to choose your parents, your cultural heritage, or your siblings.

But as you go through life, you do get to choose your friends, your profession, and how you treat others. You should also get to choose how you write the last chapter of your ’book’.

“YES“ to VAD. M. Griffin, Tewantin

Tourism - Noosa’s Top Employer Mr Rod Ritchie in his letter (NT 13/8) declared,

“As far as shire employment goes, let’s get the statistics straight. There’s been a lot of misinformed discussion recently about the tourism industry being the top employer”. He then went on to mistakenly assert that in Noosa Shire tourism employs only 12.7 per cent of FTE employees (full time equivalent) whereas, he wrote, construction employs 15.1 per cent and healthcare 12.7 per cent. Unfortunately Mr Ritchie did not get the statistics straight. He only quoted a portion of the economic data on the council’s website, and missed the section ‘Tourism and Hospitality’ which explains the following: “Tourism and hospitality ... has not been well represented in economic profiles in the past, because it actually includes parts of many different traditional industries. The Australian Bureau of Statistics publish the ‘Tourism Satellite Account’ ... which look (sic) at the value and contribution of tourism in the national economy”.

The council’s website goes on to reveal that in Noosa in 2020 the Tourism and Hospitality sector had 4209 FTEs, being 24.1 per cent of the shire’s employees.

This compares with 2806 FTEs in Construction (15.1 per cent) and 2345 in Healthcare and Social Assistance (12.7 per cent), the two percentages quoted correctly by Mr Ritchie.

It was ‘Accommodation and Food Services’, a subset of tourism, which employs 12.7 per cent, erroneously referred to by Mr Ritchie as “tourism”. Tourism is a much larger segment of Noosa’s economy. That is why tourism is often referred to as an important economic driver in Noosa Shire.

Ingrid Jackson, Noosaville

Majority Rule I am really angry with those people, mainly from religious backgrounds, who are doing their best to prevent the legislation for VAD being passed. We live in a democracy and yet a small group is trying to foist their ideologies on to the rest of us. Do they not have compassion for the people who want an exit from intolerable suffering in a painless, peaceful, and dignified way.Just imagine: you are an incontinent bundle in a bed, your once broad horizons have narrowed to four walls, you can no longer see to read the books you loved, nor can you hear beautiful music anymore. Your friends have died, and your children rarely visit because it is too painful for them to see your

deterioration. You have excruciating pain that no amount of drugs can alleviate. What is the point of extending a life that has lost all meaning? Palliative care is extremely expensive and with an expanding, ageing population, it is not supportable.I hope politicians will listen to the majority of the population who sensibly want this VAD legislation passed. If anything, the provisions sound too rigid and will make it difficult for people to access.

Jeanette Scott, Noosa Heads

My View I am a progressive sort of person. I am not affiliated with any political party because I see shortcomings in all of them. I believe in some things and I am curious to know why conservative sorts of people would disagree with the way I feel. I think it is wrong that we do not make an exceptional effort to evacuate all vetted refugees from Afghanistan that became refugees because we participated in the invasion of their country and did not protect them before we left.

I believe it is wrong that the reformation of the NDIS is resulting in the reduction of services to the neediest in our community. I believe that it is morally corrupt to not be taking the strongest of actions possible to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions while simultaneously promoting the gas and coal industries, all the while knowing that global warming is already seriously affecting Australians and citizens of other nations. I believe it is unforgiveable that we have allowed over 475 Aboriginal people to die while in police custody in the last 30 years without a single prosecution for manslaughter to have been prosecuted. I think it is inhumane to not immediately grant Afghan refugees in Australia permanent resident visas so that they can plan a future like most of us do. We have done it for Chinese, Vietnamese, and Syrians. I believe that it is inhumane to not grant the Tamil couple and their daughters permanent visas when it is entirely possible to do so. I think it is incompetent to not have an energy policy for Australia that creates jobs, eliminates our dependence on fossil fuels, stimulates the economy and makes Australia a leader in the world instead of a pariah. Space limits expansion of this list. If you support any or most of these sentiments, then you would agree that we cannot afford to return the Coalition to government at the next election. This is not for political reasons but for the sake of good governance. If you don’t support any of these sentiments, I would like to know why.

NEWS

On The Soapbox

Visitors are Covid-aware on Hastings Street.

The sad war on Covid-19 As a small business owner providing a personal care service, I am face-to-face and touching clients on a daily basis.

I have been in my profession for nearly 30 years and have always loved my job. Talking to people from all walks of life, hearing their views and even helping them with their problems, has always been the highlight for me and something I have always found extremely rewarding.

Sadly, lately I find myself closing my eyes, taking a deep breath and preparing for the ongoing battle of the day. I end most days in tears, feeling broken, tired and mentally exhausted from enforcing my entry rules and having to justifying to some why I choose to follow the Covid safety guidelines. Respect and kindness are much needed in this difficult time, but Covid has sadly divided us and respect and kindness have taken the hit.

I am completely drained from being laughed at and criticised by some, for doing my bit and for following the Covid guidelines. I have been called by customers “ridiculous and stupid for thinking Covid is real”. Told by another “Take your facemask off cause you look like a fool”. And abused for refusing entry to people with colds or symptoms.

It may seem extreme to some, but it’s really rather simple - I do this because if I catch their cold, I am unable to work and financially provide for my family. I am the sole professional in my business, so if I am sick, my business is closed. My whole focus is keeping my business open and financially surviving this time. I am a sole trader, so I do not receive sick or holiday pay and if I am not open, the rent on the shop and the bills still need paying even though I am not earning. It’s just simple common sense but, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be very common these days with some people, and I am left defending my entry rules and rights to keep my business open.

I do not judge others for their opinions and beliefs and I personally think that people’s opinions are often based on their own experiences and fortunately the majority of Australians, are lucky enough to not know anyone who has had Covid, so have no relation to it at all. My opinions are too based on my own experience, I currently have many close family members and friends in other countries that have had the virus. Some were lucky enough to get over it easily and fully, some sadly died and a few still have long Covid months after having the virus. One friend, in particular, has had to give up her job and home, as she is now unable to care for herself and, no, she didn’t have any underlying health conditions previously.

I am thankful every day that we live in this amazing country and that we have been very fortunate so far with our Covid management, but taking the negative abuse from customers, is sadly getting the better of me. It has probably made me more extreme in my management as I feel the need to balance the scale and do what’s right. Sadly I know of other small businesses that closed their doors or sold up, because they just couldn’t take the conflict from negative customers anymore. That’s probably another reason I have been so strict with my rules, in support and alliance with the other business owners that are doing their bit and taking stick for it in return. Many other business I know do not enforce the rules. Possibly because they don’t agree with them, but some because they just don’t want to have the conflict and lose more customers.

It has definitely negatively affected my business and I have lost many regular clients to other businesses who do not enforce the rules as strictly as myself, but I stand by my decision to do what’s right and have to accept the consequences.

I have some terminally-ill clients and vulnerable, compromised clients who I try to protect the best way possible. They come to

my business because they know I clean everything after every client, I wear a face mask and I only allow the person in the premises who is receiving the service at that time. I feel it is my responsibility and privilege, to provide the safest service possible for them and I’m happy to hear that they feel safer and appreciate my efforts.

Many professions such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, hairdressers, beauty therapists, cannot socially distance while providing their service, therefore the professional and the client are advised to both wear facemasks during their treatment and both to be in good health, but many businesses either haven’t thought about it fully, or chose not to enforce it to avoid the conflict.

If all these professions followed the guidelines, it would certainly make it easier for the businesses that do enforce it already and wouldn’t make the ones doing the right thing stand out as extreme. In these difficult times, working closely and touching clients makes my job harder and possibly risky and is what makes me dislike the job some of these recent days but, ironically, it was working closely with people, that made me love my job in the first place. Clients seem to relax and trust you when you have physical contact and are working closely with them, and I have always felt my job was important and helpful to people who wanted to talk and discuss their problems, while receiving their service. Now I find myself rethinking my career and the possibility of changing to a job [where] I don’t have to work with the public and fight every day.

Many industries and businesses are having the same struggles at the moment. I read today about American air hostesses now having to do marshal training to deal with the abuse they are receiving mid-air from people refusing to follow the facemask rules, even though they are fully aware of the rules before boarding the airline. Working and financially surviv-

ing a pandemic is hard enough, but dealing with abuse and conflict on a daily basis from customers that don’t like the rules is making it so much harder.

Today was thankfully a good day. I had all lovely, rule-abiding, mask-wearing clients in and I actually feel good about my job again for the first time in days. I could not be more grateful to the lovely, majority clientele that support my small business. Thank you. They truly are the backbone of the wonderful community that I am so blessed to be a part of and I cannot thank them enough. I am extremely lucky to have such wonderful clients and it is them that has kept me going and helped me push through this difficult time. I do owe them an apology, for the times I have allowed the negative conflict from a client, to lower my enthusiasm, happiness and quality of service to others. Thank you for standing by me and supporting my small business.

I guess the reason for this article is to hopefully raise awareness of the struggles some small business owners are having to endure.

No matter your opinion or belief, please be respectful and kind to others. Choosing to not follow the rules and to not wear a facemask while inside and you cannot socially distance is absolutely your decision, but you are also taking away other people’s rights when you are around others who chose to protect themselves, or when you enter their business. If you do not like the entry rules of a business, don’t go in.

Respecting others or doing an act of kindness is so powerful and we all have the ability to do it and make others feel great. We would all live in a much nicer world, if we care and respect each other more. These are hard times.

Admittedly, harder for some than others, but we are all in this together, despite our views.

Please be kind (Business owner requested anonymity) Friday, 27 August, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 33

Themed art show

By Jacqueline Trewin Noosa MP Sandy Bolton will unveil the first themed exhibition of Max Galleria featuring works from 15 Sunshine Coast female artists.

The long-awaited launch will take place in Tewantin this Friday 27 August from 6pm to 9pm till Tuesday 28 September.

Entitled, ’Wombman - An Intimate Geography’, the gallery’s second group exhibition is a collective anthology inspired by gallery curator Maxine Stibbe who chose the theme to support recognition of women artists.

“While famous Australian art has a history of female artists, men have dominated the art scene and despite some progress, we’re still very underrepresented today,” Ms Stibbe said.

“The exhibition pays homage to the famous book, ‘Woman - An Intimate Geography’, which really affected me when I was younger as I am interested in women’s issues. It explores the essence of what it means to be female - from organs to orgasms - while dispelling myths and misinformation surrounding the female body.“ Proudly sponsored by local businesses, Scotty’s Pizza and The Imperial Hotel, ’Wombman - An Intimate Geography’ will exhibit photography, painting, sculpture, jewellery, prints, mixed media, mosaics and ceramics, while bringing together a diverse range of acclaimed artists such as: Mia Hacker, Maxine Stibbe, Emma Sheldrake, Jane Parker, Sue Hoskins, Angela Davies, Mo Riggs, Charmaine Lyons, Djinda/Denva Eistreich, Meagen Mendels, Alison Taylor, Cortney Davids, T.S. Carghill, Susan Neuvonen, Marina MX Noar and Lizzie Connor.

“Focusing on the concept of this exhibition, artists take the opportunity to explore what the theme means to them - whether it be the body, the female (or male) gaze, a muse, the mind, a fantasy or a faraway place - anything that makes them feel happy, or in

Emma Sheldrake - ‘Dreaming of Egypt’.

Alison Taylor - ‘Temptations and Delights in the Garden of Gondwana’. a space of comfort and knowing,” Ms Stibbe said.

Showcasing local talent is part of building a vibrant creative hub on the Sunshine Coast for Ms Stibbe, who has offered a mentorship to young artist, Courtney Turnbull-Davids, whose work features at the upcoming launch.

“I wanted to create a safe space for Courtney to learn about the logistics of exhibitions and how to prepare her work in the context of a gallery for future projects,“ Ms Stibbe said.

The exhibition will provide a multi-sensory experience for art lovers while exploring the collection amid the live soulful voice of renowned local musician Jeunae Rogers.

Angela Davies - ‘Angela Davis Activist’.

Benefits of eating insects TEWANTIN NOOSA BOWLS CLUB

Social membership valid until 31/12/2022

With current environmentally-damaging food systems struggling to produce enough nutritious food for the world’s growing population, scientists are exploring alternative protein sources.

Edible insects are a promising option. They are highly diverse with more than 2100 edible species, highly nutritious being rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other micronutrients, and have a low environmental footprint.

Farming insects requires less feed, land and water than farming beef, pork or chicken and produces fewer greenhouse gases. Since 80 to 100 per cent of the insect is eaten, little goes to waste and the excrement, or frass, can be used in the garden as a nutrient-rich fertiliser.

Dr Rocio Ponce-Reyes from CSIRO is this week’s guest speaker at Friday Environment Forum. She will present an overview of current edible insect research, emphasising the environmental benefits of insects as a complementary protein.

Rocio says: “hopefully my presentation will

New date announced for first Murder on the Rattler With the south east Queensland lockdown lifted, and travel to regions such as Gympie opened up, Mary Valley Rattler’s first-ever Murder on the Rattler Express is back on track for a dastardly debut on Saturday 11 September.

The fun event will provide a great opportunity for passengers to dress to the nines in 1920s glamour and glitter, and sharpen their Agatha Christie skills to detect the murderer amongst them.

Each passenger will become a character in the drama, and can dress accordingly.

Upon booking, everyone will receive a special name for the journey, along with event money to bribe or blackmail, and an ‘accusation form’ that they can use to smoke out the murderer.

The murder most foul will take place at Amamoor Station, and passengers in each carriage will be able to use the return journey to Gympie to hone their investigative skills for the big reveal over dinner. The clues will be everywhere.

A drinks cart will operate on board the Rattler, and a seated dinner in Gympie Station’s Rusty Rails Cafe will be where the murderer is revealed. There will be prizes for the passenger who solves the murder first, and also for best dressed and richest player as a result of their wheeling and dealing with the event money.

The Murder on the Rattler Express service will depart historic Gympie Station at 6pm on Saturday 11 September, in a steam train that was in operation back in the 1920s.

The Rattler will travel through to the historic village of Amamoor, where the Rattler is rotated on a restored turntable for its return journey to Gympie.

The meticulously hand-crafted carriages and the rolling hills of the Mary Valley will provide an atmospheric backdrop for passengers as they seek to uncover the murderer within their midst.

Tickets are $195 per person, including a set dinner at Rusty Rails Cafe and all the props required for playing the murder game.

General Manager of the Mary Valley Rattler Micheal Green said that while it had been disappointing to cancel the Friday 13 August event, holding the special service on a Saturday would make it easier for visitors from Brisbane and elsewhere to enjoy a full weekend in the region.

Mary Valley Rattler Murder Mystery characters dressed to kill ahead of the special event.

“The romance of the rails brings back all those memories of glamour and glitz and we are looking forward to people dressing up, having fun and getting into the spirit of the occasion,” he said.

“There aren’t too many opportunities for people to dress up and get into character, and with the event now being held on a Saturday, we are hoping that visitors from Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Hervey Bay and

the rest of south-east Queensland will come to the Gympie region for a really fun and entertaining weekend.”

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Mr Jones & Me.

Picture: SUPPLIED

Calamari and chips.

Back to Mr Jones & Me Trevor Pepys reviews Mr Jones and Me Trevor breaks his golden rule this week by returning to the scene of the crime. Never review the same joint twice.

This was the cardinal rule impressed upon Trev back in his early days of semi-professional restaurant reviewing by one of the true masters of the dark art, the late great Sam Orr. Of course, cruelly-honest Sam knew that by returning to the scenes of his crimes he would be risking a severe beating at the hands of the chef, or at the very least, a urine-soaked crème brulee.

Trevor, on the other hand, being scrupulously fair in his critiques and often exceedingly generous, and also somewhat anonymous due to his range of clever disguises, runs no such risk. He simply made a pledge, when Noosa Today begged him to accept this pro bono gig many moons ago, that he would not rest until every shingle that hangs above a kitchen in this shire had received its 15 minutes of fame. He’s not quite there yet, but this week there were exceptional circumstances.

12457459-LB33-20

36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 August, 2021

For one, friends who had escaped from Victoria not a moment too soon, and were staying nearby, were exhausted from madly biking around the district – as you do when you’ve endured too many lockdowns – so the dinner venue had to be in the hood. And as they were also people of taste and style, it had to be good.

Trev consulted his manual of memorable meals enjoyed within a one-kilometre radius of Munna Point and came up with three possibilities. Since Little Humid and Eclipse were both fully booked, it had to be Mr Jones, a stylish bistro named after a song of owners, Paul and Ferne Lammens’ courtship days, housed in an historic cottage.

Trev summed up the history in a pithy paragraph on his last visit and it’s worth a reprise: “Once Durham’s bait and tackle shop, dating back to the ‘30s, the old fishing shack first gained local infamy in the 1960s when its owners gave it a bit of a tart-up and opened as Diala-Bird, which was when the young and frisky Trev rocked up full of fizz and was disappointed in the extreme to learn that they were offering not chicky-babes but chicken dinners.”

We started with a perfectly acceptable bottle of El Nino 2019 chardonnay ($42) from the King Valley – a nod to the Viccos – and ordered a round of duck pancakes ($25) to munch on while we made the serious decisions. This was a wise choice. The braised duck, rolled with cucumber, carrot, spring onion and hoisin sauce was light and a delight, getting the taste buds moving while leaving plenty of room for the mains.

Here our guests opted for the sesame crusted salmon ($35) and the barra bowl ($34), while Trev ordered the seafood laksa off the specials board ($34) and the missus, the calamari and chips ($28), both to share. Last time around Trev had ordered the salmon and reported: “The salmon needed a squirt of lemon, which was forthcoming within a nanosecond of being requested. Then it was perfect. A beautiful piece of fish, cooked and presented just so, with all the flavours of the accompaniments melding into a great dish, simple and fresh.”

This time it didn’t quite live up to that, but our friends pronounced both their fish dishes modest successes. Likewise the laksa, which

did the job without being spectacular. Strangely, given its simplicity, the calamari was the hit of the evening as the huge serving did the rounds of the table – succulent with a hint of spice, and accompanied by delicious fat chips.

We were about to consider desserts when a table full of youthful lockdown escapees on the other side of the restaurant erupted. Trev couldn’t tell if they were hugging or fighting, but you couldn’t hear yourself think, and the restaurant emptied at speed. Just what a restaurant owner needs during these troubled times.

The verdict: When it comes to restaurants, you can go home again, but maybe you shouldn’t review your return visit. Still, it’s interesting to compare the experiences, and while Mr Jones didn’t quite match its previous, it was still a pleasant meal in a pleasant setting, until the feral fools went gaga at least. Effervescent front of house Ferne was absent too, so maybe that took a little of the shine off.

But Trev will be back, again.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Open season on snapper Well the snapper season sure kicked off with a bang!

We have had two consecutive weekends of perfect weather. Although fishing has been a little quiet, some great fish have been caught, with many stories of the one that got away.

The bar has been kind as of late which has seen more boats crossing and fishing the local and far off reefs. The big charter boats went far and wide and from Double Island reports of snapper, pearl perch, amberjack, tuskies, cod and cobia to name a few. Everybody’s friend, the bronze shark has been claiming a few good fish which is now the norm. To avoid this try fishing only one hook vs two hook rigs. Fighting a single fish is going to be far easier to get up especially if it is big. Light jigging is becoming more and more popular and the ocean’s legacy rods are certainly making their stamp.

Come in and check them out as they are super crisp and very powerful.

Local reefs closer to shore feature good sweetlip and, of course, snapper. Last week was a bi,t quiet possibly linked to the neap tides and a consistent high pressure sitting over us. With the change in moon phase, the spring tides often bring swell and more run so expect better things. While the conditions are excellent and the waters are crystal clear it’s important to run light fluorocarbon leaders around the 20-25lb mark or less. For those anglers fishing for snapper, why not try going below 20lb and take your time if sharks aren’t an issue. It’s a great way to fish and huge fish can be caught on light gear.

Surf fishing has shifted focus to evenings over the last few weeks. The clear waters and neap tides during the daytime sees mainly smaller bream, dart and whiting caught. If after big fish, then under the cover of darkness is the better time to chase them. Predators will find it hard to feed in super clear waters where there is no structure to hide behind. Use the tides to your advantage and remember, fresh is best when it comes to bait. Come in and grab some live beach worms and let us know what you are chasing for advice on rigging techniques.

The Noosa River feels like it is taking another shift with the winter bream now returning to the structure of the lower estuary. Their spawn appears to have happened so flicking super light curl tail grubs around bridges and jetties is going to reward those making the effort. Look at 6lb and under for leader and keep rods in the 1-3 and 2-4kg range. If on a budget, the Abu Garcia Rayrex is a cracker for all styles.

Trevally seem to be on the move but the spring tides should see bait pushing over the bar and into the river. This would make the Frying Pan, Dog Beach trees and Woods Bay some great locations for those on foot and in a boat.

Geoff Stirzaker’s quality captures and Colgate smile won him last week’s $100 Tackle World Noosa/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize.

As always, try surface in the mornings as water temps are already creeping up. If you haven’t seen the new Berkley Bender, this lure is a great flathead lure over the flats and grassy weed beds. This lure resembles a wounded baitfish and also appeals to tailor and even mangrove jacks as it sits just below the water line. If after flathead, then they are holding around the previously mentioned locations and everything from plastics to baits work well here.

We currently have some amazing looking baby blue pilchards which make great whole bait options when drifted with the current.

Dam fishing is going through a lull and the bass are proving harder to locate and tempt.

In previous weeks it has been a case of using sounders in side scan mode to locate the schools as they are spread out. While the fish are hard to tempt try smaller than usual lures and plastics in the 2 inch or 40mm size range.

The Ecogear SX40 is a great option for working the edges. The bass’s urge to spawn last month may be the reason for their quiet behaviour and, as such, do not want bigger lure presentations. Try the weed lines and overhanging timber if struggling to find the fish as they may be hiding in the warmth provided from a day’s sun beating down.

Youth key in pennant win

By Peter Owen Noosa’s A grade pennant team, led brilliantly by young guns George Giblett and Cooper Clarke, narrowly beat archrival Headland to land its third straight zone pennant title at Gympie on Sunday.

Giblett (4&2), Clarke (2 up), Sam Boulden (21st) and Ryan Mulder (4 & 2) were the winners for Noosa, who repeated last year’s final success over Headland.

Both clubs have a proud pennant history but Noosa again proved to be the Sunshine Coast’s champion team.

Mulder, Noosa’s No 7 and the first player to tee off, gave his side the perfect start, easily accounting for Headland’s Scott Walker.

Boulden scored an important point when he beat former Headland pennant captain Sean McGill on the 21st hole, after both players were all square after the regulation 18 holes. In pennant competition all matches are played out until there is a result.

Giblett and Clarke – veterans in A grade pennant competition despite their youth – then sealed the deal when they beat Headland’s schoolboy stars Ben Duncombe and Josh Holbrook in tight matches.

And in a great day for Noosa golf, Noosa Springs pipped Mt Coolum, 4-3, in the Masters final to take their second pennant title in three years.

The hero of the day was Noosa Springs’ No 2 player Simon Cotton, who led his team to victory after the two teams were locked at threeall. Cotton beat his opponent Barry Bowditch on the 21st hole to snatch the narrowest of wins for Noosa Springs.

After nine holes, Noosa Springs was down in five of the matches and staring defeat in the face, but with Chris Collinge and Jean Luc Chaudet both winning their matches on the 19th hole, the Noosa Springs men won when it really counted.

In B grade, Mt Coolum’s Mick Mraz played a miracle chip from the back of the 18th green to set up a par and win a tight deciding match to give his team a 4-3 win over Peregian. It was Mt Coolum’s third straight B grade title.

Noosa’s Chris Wright was named the B grade pennant player of the year.

Irene adds to her remarkable golfing record For a woman who is quick to downplay her skills, Noosa Springs’ Irene Cordukes has notched up some pretty impressive performances on the golf course.

Two decades ago she was the first female to score a hole-in-one at Noosa Springs – holing her tee shot at the daunting par three fourth hole.

Years later she again scored an ace – this time at the 120m 18th hole on the difficult Lost Farm course at Tasmania’s famous Barnbougle complex.

And last week the long-time Noosa Springs member scored an impressive 46 points in a stableford competition at her home course.

“There was another golfer in my body,” said the 79-year-old with a laugh. “I should have been tested for performance-enhancing drugs.”

Irene and her husband Peter, a former Washington-based analyst for the World Bank, have been members since the resort opened in 1999, and were some of first residents of the Noosa Springs residential community.

It wasn’t until she settled in Noosa that Irene took up golf seriously, and she hasn’t looked back.

Once a four-game-a week player, Irene has cut her golf back to two weekly competitions – on Mondays and Wednesdays – and practises on Tuesdays.

“But, still, my handicap has continued to go out,” said. “I think that’s one of the reasons I scored so well last week. I’m playing off 34, you know.”

For her efforts, she sacrificed three strokes from her handicap – not that she’s concerned in the slightest.

Pitch shot practice TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER

Cooper Clarke, pictured, teamed with George Giblett to lead Noosa to its third straight A grade pennant title.

And what did husband Peter think of her performance?

“Ever the accountant, he asked me how much prizemoney I’d won,” Irene said.

Ace leads to Cooroy comp win The highlight of Judy Kitcher’s round at Cooroy last Thursday was a rare hole-in-one at the 135m par three seventh hole. It helped Judy to an impressive stableford score of 43 points – good enough for a three-point win from Eve Hunt, on 40.

Maverick’s career began in Noosa Though he faded over the final three rounds to finish 29th, young Queensland golfer Maverick Antcliff made world headlines last week when he grabbed a share of the lead after the first round of the European Tour’s Czech Masters.

Antcliff, known for his long, flowing blond locks as much as his neat golf swing, began his journey to international golf at Noosa Springs four years ago when he won a qualifying tournament which eventually led to him earning a spot on the Australasian pro golf circuit.

Antcliff, 28, who studied at the Kooralbyn International School – just as his hero Jason Day did before he found fame in the US – finished five strokes clear in the 54-hole first round of Q-School qualifying at Noosa Springs, with rounds of 68, 66 and 68 for a 14-under total of 202.

He’s now one of the most promising of the young Australians on the world stage.

Antcliff romped to the Order of Merit title on the China Golf Tour in 2019 to earn his place on the European Tour and had his best finish earlier this season when second at the Canary Islands Championship.

A gift every dad would like With Father’s Day scheduled for next weekend, Noosa Springs has come up with a range of gift ideas for the man of the house.

Your dad can enjoy breakfast or lunch, followed by nine holes of golf in an electric cart, or a Spa Thermal Suite experience, for the reduced cost of $79. Call the resort on 5440 3325 for details.

Who’s the best at Noosa, Cooroy?

Club championships begin this weekend at Noosa and Cooroy.

The Noosa championships – always a stroke event which attract the club’s best golfers – will be played on Saturday and Sunday, then over the next two Saturdays.

The Cooroy club championships will be played over four successive Saturdays, the final round scheduled for Saturday, September 18.

The pitch shot is often misunderstood, and that can lead to the wrong shot being played at the wrong time. So let’s clarify exactly what it is.

The pitch shot sits between the chip and the lob shot. It generally flies 50 per cent in the air and 50 per cent along the ground. The technique is just a shorter version of the full swing and only two variables are used to change the length.

The first is the club. You can use a wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge or lob wedge, depending on the length.

The second variable is the length of your back swing. Most professionals will know how far back to swing. That consistent position will provide them with a consistent length – providing the speed of swing is consistent.

It generally takes 12 months of solid practice to understand the variables with pitching. So make a start today. You can’t afford to waste any time. Better pitching really does equate to lower scores.

USC Spartans swimmer Katja Dedekind will contest the 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 400m freestyle in Tokyo.

USC Paralympic strength Ten athletes affiliated with USC have flown to Tokyo for the Paralympic Games, which began with an opening ceremony on Tuesday 24 August.

Six of the athletes - Ben Hance, Blake Cochrane, Braedan Jason, Katja Dedekind, Keira Stephens and Ruby Storm - are USC Spartans swimmers, while one is former Spartans swimmer Ellie Cole who completed a cross-institutional degree while at USC. The contingent also includes USC graduate and wheelchair basketballer Hannah Dodd, cyclist Alistair Donohoe who trains with the USC-based Pro Racing Sunshine Coast, and wheelchair rugby player Chris Bond who receives coaching and training advice from USC’s High Performance Sport academics.

Dedekind, a USC Bachelor of Arts student, is eager to compete at her second Paralympics after winning bronze in 100m backstroke in Rio when she was just 15.

She said attending the Games with such a large group from USC, including Spartans coach Nathan Doyle, would help her stay re-

laxed ahead of her events in 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 400m freestyle.

“To be heading to Tokyo with the people that I see every day and I swim with, I think it’s going to make it much easier to be away from home for so long,” she said.

“They’re like my second family now.

“I actually don’t have a dream job out of swimming. I think I am living that dream where I get to be an athlete 24/7 and I get to go and represent my country at the Paralympics, not just for the first time, but for the second time as well.”

Five of the other athletes have competed previously at the Paralympics, with Cochrane and Cole now both four-time Paralympians, Bond attending his third Games, and Jason and Dodd making their second appearances.

Dodd competed in equestrian at the London Games in 2012, and her selection for wheelchair basketball makes her one of only two athletes bound for Tokyo who have represented Australia in more than one sport at the Paralympics.

Cricket season looms

By Randall Woodley “There is nothing more pleasant to the ear than the sound of leather being struck by willow,” PG Wodehouse, English author (1881 1975).

And this sound, celebrated by PG Wodehouse, will soon be heard every Saturday up and down the Sunshine Coast as the new cricket season commences on Saturday September 11. And the local club, Tewantin-Noosa Thunder (TNT) is well prepared to make sure they will be a real force in the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association competition this year.

Registrations Senior and junior registrations are well underway and those interested (men and women, girls and boys) can register at tewantinnoosacricket.com.au It is planned to have four senior men’s teams and one women’s team in the competition this season. Junior teams will be entered in every age group, commencing at five to seven years (Junior Blasters) right through to

under 16s. Ages are at 31 August 2021. Training has already commenced on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for seniors with juniors to start in early September.

A lot has been happening with the club during the off-season with a new president, Alec Munn elected, and new members joining the committee. The playing fields have been upgraded and the clubhouse kitchen has been completely renovated costing thousands of dollars.

The club has been able to retain most of last year’s first grade team players but has lost their top wicket-taker, Tom Freshwater.

However, the club has been able to recruit former international player and the BBL’s top wicket-taker, Ben Laughlin and he will be a great asset especially in the T20 and one day matches.

The club won last season’s T20 competition, going through undefeated and is planning to start the season again in winning this trophy. Another player who will join the club is ex-Gympie Gold captain, Lewis Waugh who

had a batting average of 32 and took 24 wickets last season. Also turning out for TNT will be ex-Caloundra all-rounder Josh Peters who will add depth to the teams. Captains of the teams will be announced in the coming weeks.

Ex-international player, Nathan Reardon will again be working with the players in a specialist training role during the season and discussions are progressing to appoint a training coach.

Pre-season match Two pre-season T20 matches will be played at Read Park on Saturday 28 August against a Gold Coast side, captained by Nathan Reardon. TNT will have a strong first grade team including Ben Laughlin, the club’s bowling spearhead, Scott Aufderheide, plus Chris Wright, Andrew Kratzmann and Jarrod Officer. The first match commences at noon and the second at 4pm.

The club is hoping for good local support to watch these matches which will feature the two ex-international players in action. The bar and canteen will be open.

The official T20 competition begins on Sat-

urday 11 September with the first grade team playing two matches (against Nambour, morning and Caloundra, afternoon) at Caloundra.

The following Saturday, the TNT boys will host Coolum and arch-rivals Maroochydore at Read Park. There are a number of matches under lights planned for the season as these were very popular with both the players and spectators last year.

The club is always on the lookout for new senior players and volunteers to assist with the juniors at practice, acting as umpires and scorers. The club is also looking for volunteers to assist with the preparation of the three grounds and wickets each week. The club has some experienced and dedicated grounds people but assistance is needed a few hours each week for the mowing of the ovals. Anyone interested can contact Jarrod Officer on 0478 815 042.

It is promising to be a big season for the club with expectations high and well thought out plans in place to bring home more than just the one premiership trophy this season.

Laskey takes the mantle

By Julian Pitts After four straight years of finishing second in the Noosa Tigers Senior Best and Fairest award,skipper Aaron Laskey has finally broken through to be Noosa’s club champion in season 2021.

The triple premiership player and dual premiership captain polled consistently throughout and finished strongly to overtake gun defender Riley Buntain and run away with the prize for the first time. Laskey, as usua,l was humble in accepting the accolade saying, “look, I can say that team victories and especially winning flags are far more satisfying than individual honours but I’m glad I’ve been able to finally win a best and fairest at this great club“.

Utility Seb Rogers finished third in the voting after polling strongly in the middle rounds while power forward Aaron Wilson was next in line after a super impressive season up forward for the Tigers. Young defender Ben Guthrie rounded out the top five after an impressive and consistent year in defence.

Evergreen Gary Wallace won the reserves’ medal on the last votes of the night pipping Angus Johnston by the barest of margins.The 2010 senior premiership player, life member and all round champion was rapt to take home the chocolates saying, “You know what I’ve really enjoyed this year,just helping the kids

come through has been great and I seriously can’t wait to go around again”.

Lacey Wilson took home the Colts’ prize ahead of Marty Kelly with both having super impressive seasons in their first taste of QAFL footy. Wilson has been a standout on the Sunny Coast over the past three or four seasons with high possession games and exquisite skills on both sides while Kelly was rewarded with a taste of senior footy throughout 2021 for his on field prowess.

All eyes this weekend will be on the Tiger teams playing finals with our senior women the main attraction on Saturday at home from 4.45pm.The girls play Pine Rivers for a spot in the grand final on Saturday 4 August.

Our Noosa Tigers inclusion team coached

by Rob Purvis will be a preview to the women with their game starting at 2.30pm.

Four of our junior teams are involved in finals on Sunday with Noosa hosting five preliminary finals at Weyba Road.

In fact, our under 13 girls and under 12 boys will feature in the first two finals of the day at Rococo oval while our under 14 boys and under 15 girls are at Kerrin and Moreton Bay, respectively.

How exciting - it’s finals’ time.

Good luck to all teams wearing the Tigers jumper this weekend!

Sport’s welcome return With restrictions regarding Covid-19 being eased in Queensland, club training activities and competition will be back on the agenda and our local clubs will endeavour to keep their supporters and sponsors fully informed.

All club presidents, managers, coachers and players have expressed a sincere vote of thanks to those hundreds of sponsors and supporters who have stood by their clubs in these trying times.

A flyer released by Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club general manager Brett Winkler brings supporters and family members of junior players up to date. This Saturday Noosa Pirates will travel south to Kawana and take on the Dolphins and Colts in week one of the SCGRL final series. Both Always Cool Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Division 1 and u/18 teams did a great job finishing in third position on the ladder after regular fixtures and some time off. They are now at full strength heading into the end of season games that really count.

Both Pirates’ teams go round this Saturday 28 August at Kawana, with the u/18s up against the Coolum Colts at 2.15pm and the big Division 1 game, against the Kawana Dolphins at 5.30pm.

Coming up soon in week two of the finals action, the SC Glass & Aluminium open women’s team, go round in their first finals appearance. The Noosa club will be hosting the minor semi final at Pirate Park on Sunday 5 September for senior teams, and fingers crossed, the ladies will be turning out at home.

Junior u/10 to u/17 Pirate teams will conduct their presentation this Thursday afternoon 26 August starting at 5pm.The general manager also expressed his thanks to the diehard rugby league fans for their patience regarding the Melbourne Storm, who are still under Level 3 protocols. As soon as that changes, they will get the opening training and fan day happening.

“Despite the hardship and restrictions,” said club president Paul Dwyer, “we believe that this has been a great public relations exercise as well as a big boost for club morale. To have a top NRL club such as Melbourne training on the fields of a small country club such as ours is not only good for Pirates, but also the game of rugby league in general. It has always been the policy of Pirates to help promote our code where ever and whenever possible.”

Over the other side of town at Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union club, they are also back in action this coming weekend.

With restrictions on community sports being lifted over the weekend, the Dolphins were straight back into training on Saturday morning. All four grades had a light training run in preparation for the final round games of the season this weekend. Teams are heading to Sippy Downs to play University. The outcome of these games will determine who plays the Noosa teams in semi- final match ups, on Saturday 4 August. Dolphin Oval will host all the action in the semi final showdown.

Club president Donald McKill said, “The club is hoping for a huge turnout from the Noosa community to get behind our Colts, women’s, reserve and A grade sides, in what we hope will be a blockbuster weekend of rugby.”

Should the A grade win the semi-final, the grand final will be held back at Dolphin Oval on the 18th September. A loss will see them in a play off game and venue to be confirmed on Saturday 11 September.

On the junior rugby front, the news could not be better.

“In what is the first time in eight years, the Dolphins will have a team from every grade going into the final round,” said junior president Zoe Griffen.

Obviously we wish all our teams and coaches all the very best, and hope Noosa Rugby will have a huge representation down at Sunshine Coast Stadium for the finals on the 11th of September. These results are indeed great for the Dolphins. To have a good junior division creates a milestone for the future. To see that all 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 August, 2021

teams have made the final rounds, tells us that the junior president must indeed, have a great support team, a team working in conjunction with each other. When a junior division develops and becomes successful, the next big component is of course, talent identification. Good luck and well done to Zoe and her team.

Good to see that Noosa Little Athletics was also back at training on Friday nights.

“The response has been good,” said head coach Mick Hooper.

“Our first Friday night of club competition, will be held on September 17 at 5 pm followed by the second, on September 24 at 5pm. These nights are open to the public and those young ones (u/6-u/17) who would like to try the sport, are welcome to come along and have a go at the different events.”

Those who wish to sign up online can do so on Little Athletics Facebook or Little Athletics website.

The long- awaited information regarding the big event of the year, the Noosa Gift has finally been decided and as can be expected, it is very disappointing.

“Because of the restrictions and the situation in other states, and major cities, like Sydney and Melbourne, it was decided at a recent meeting to postpone the event for this year.

Hopefully all will be OK for 2022,” said coach Hooper.

Good to see those brave little athletes of the Noosa Seahorse Nippers, will be back on the sand for four weeks in October. Because of the health regulations, the organiser had experienced several changes to their program: first was August because of Covid, then September because it would clash with school holidays, but now it is settled: four weeks in October. It will be great to see these little people back on Noosa’s Main Beach doing their swims, runs and their ski paddles, assisted by their carers (qualified lifesavers).

This organisation, which has been performing for 10 years, has for all that time been

Seahorse Nipper organisers Stephen Mawby, Lorna Macchia and Nikki Mawby at a Seahorse nippers day. under the management and dedicated care of foundation members, Steve and Nikki Mawby, and their incredible support team, some working on the beach and some in the water. Also, there is that very important team, the bus boys. It is these old boys, who organise the bus service that transports the little nippers and parents from the Lions Park over through traffic to Main Beach (totally supported by our local council). With some of these little warriors, being confined to wheelchairs, the bus service makes travelling from Lions Park to the beach and back so much safer.

It is now 10 years since Steve and Nikki Mawby took the first steps in organising what was to become known as the Seahorse Nippers: a branch in lifesaving, the sole purpose of which is to help families whose children are in need of assistance.

Down through the years there have been many visitors, VIPs from both state and national levels, and representatives from other

Queensland clubs as well as NSW. All were impressed by what they saw and, on several occasions, Steve was invited to visit interested clubs and this he has done. The achievements and respect that Steve and his team have earned have gone beyond all expectations. To see these little athletes swimming and running through the sand has indeed made it all worthwhile.

It is therefore understandable, that this organisation has earned the respect and neverending support of the club’s life members and Old Boys. So, when the month of October rolls around, and health regulations permitting, this group, now affectionally known as the Gom Squad (Grumpy Old Men) will be there to help and handle any problems that may arise.

It’s their way of saying well done and many thanks. Without a doubt the Seahorse Nippers are the most successful team ever in the Noosa club’s 93-year history.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

The Ultimate cast.

Pictures: WSL

Another pretty influencer/model.

The Ultimate Insult Just when you think you can’t take any more surfing excitement following Owen’s medal at the Olympics and Steph’s great win in Mexico, The Ultimate Surfer premieres on American ABC this week.

Since before Covid began the World Surf League has been dragging surfing down into lowest-common denominator content creation on all its portals leading to this, the ultimate insult. But don’t let me put you off. Let their publicists do it: “The Ultimate Surfer gathers some of the world’s most compelling surfers to live and train together as they battle it out on the consistent and perfect waves created at the Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California. The hopes of the contestants are collectively focused on the winner’s prize -- an opportunity to compete on the WSL Championship Tour, the pinnacle of professional surfing.”

So a bunch of swimsuit models and influencers, mostly from Southern California which is their global breeding ground, pout poolside at the sweltering Surf Ranch and mouth cliches like “whatever it takes” and “I’m in this to win it” while a bald, middle-aged man watches them from the sidelines. Whoops, sorry. That’s Kelly Slater, their mentor. Let’s stick to the facts, as revealed by the publicity department: “Jesse Palmer of The Bachelor hosts the eight-episode series alongside commentators Erin Coscarelli and Joe Turpel. Alliances and rivalries are front and centre as men and women compete in individual and team challenges focused on specific elements of surfing. Weekly eliminations will leave two men and two women as finalists, each will vie for the male and female titles of The Ultimate Surfer.”

And a hundred grand, which is peanuts to an influencer.

Most of the competitors are people you’ve never heard of who’ve been around the block a few times, but they sure are pretty. Take Anastasia Ashley, 33, from San Clemente. She finished #312 on the Qualifying Series in 2019 with a highest placing of 17th, so she hasn’t exactly set the surf world on fire yet, but on the other hand she has more than one million followers on Instagram. There’s another guy from Jacksonville, Florida who surfs all day and works in a bar at night, which isn’t very exciting, but he looks a bit like James Dean.

To be fair, whoever came up with this absurd format – say it ain’t you, Kel! – at least knew enough to sprinkle a few real surfers into

the mix, like the Hawaiians Zeke Lau, Kai Barger and Koa Smith. Will it be enough?

You can’t judge a reality show by its trailer, but having seen a two-minute one this week, in the interests of sanity I won’t be watching any more TUS, so if it turns out to be awesome, please let me know what I missed.

Where the defibs are Having installed the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s second defibrillator station (AED) in the National Park last week, ranger Eugene Craddock and his team set about ensuring that people in need knew where to find it.

Of course no one wants to see an overload of signage in such beautiful natural surroundings, but the fact of the matter is that people die while first responders try to find defibs.

Brett Roche of BCR Medical has come up with the answer in the form of discreet but unmissable directional signage.

The AED now sits prominently at the front

Coast Track AED signage.

of the Tea Tree Bay amenities block, joining the previous installation at the Noosa Parks Association kiosk adjacent to the National Park surf break. With one more to come in the park, and Noosa Heads Surf Club about to install three new ones on Main and West Beach, we’ll have the surfing reserve and the trail network through the park well covered.

The trick now is to ensure that everyone in the community knows where to find an AED when it’s needed. That will be our next challenge.

Let the community tour begin Councillor Tom Wegener’s Noosa Communities Tour got off to a great start last week at Annie’s Books, followed by well attended gatherings at Land & Sea Brewery and the Hastings Street Tourist Information Centre.

The idea is to encourage people to share their stories and their history, and to think about Noosa’s future. So far the exchange of ideas has been gratifying, and the stories from

guest speakers have been riveting. At Annie’s, council chief executive officer Brett de Chastel took us behind the scenes in the de-amalgamation battle, while former mayor Noel Playford explained to the Land & Sea crowd how and why the population cap works, and at the Info Centre, Kabi Kabi Elder Brian Warner gave an emotional account of a Cherbourg childhood. All of this and a little bit of promotion for a certain scribe’s new book!

Still to come on the tour Saturday 28 August: Place of Shadows book signing at Berkelouw’s Books, Eumundi, from 9am, followed by a pub lunch with Tom Wegener at The Imperial from 12.30pm.

Wednesday 1 September: With former mayor Bob Abbot at The Apollonian Hotel, Boreen Point, 6pm.

Thursday 2 September: With Landcare’s Phil Moran at Hinterland Brewery, Cooran, from 6pm.

Warren Evans puts the “sold” sign on the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 1002sq m at 11 Goodchap St, Tewantin, after Saturday’s auction. 247266

A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 14 McAnally Dve, Sunshine Beach, is set for auction Saturday, September 4, at 12pm. 247266

Upstairs, the main bedroom suite captures ocean views and breezes. The private sanctuary includes a hydrotherapy spa in the ensuite and an impressive walkin-wardrobe.

On the ground level, is another impressive living space and undercover deck together with a main bedroom alternative with attached ensuite, two queen bedrooms and separate bathroom, plus a separate media area.

The first open house was held on a Wednesday, and Roark said it attracted mainly locals and those who have already located in Noosa.

Some have been renting while they look for property to purchase, even paying Airbnb rates as rentals are in such short supply.

OUTBACK JOURNEY LEADS TO TEWANTIN Laguna Real Estate’s Warren Evans has not been in this situation before ... in his 45 years of real estate he has run out of listings.

This follows the sale at auction on

Saturday of the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 11 Goodchap St, Tewantin.

“I’ve never been in this situation before,’’ Warren said. “Listings are so tight.’’

Saturday’s auction of the original house on 1002sq m saw six registered bidders for the property, in a leafy no-through precinct.

Four bidders were on site and two on the phone which saw a start at $1m then 21 bids later selling at $1.455m.

“It was a terrific auction,’’ Warren said, “and the price was a reflection of how much property values have increased in 12 months.’’

The buyer was a doctor from Central Queensland who has fallen in love with Noosa - the environment, the plants in the garden, the poincianas in the street.

He had just returned from an outback walking journey and was able to be back in time for the auction.

He had seen it before the recent Covid-19 lockdown and the intention is to move in.

Bidders were generally local. The under-

bidder was the mother of a daughter living in Sydney.

SIZZLING ACTION AT PEPPERS Four registered bidders were so eager for the keys to the door of the Tom Offermann Real Estate Chris Miller’s listing of apartment 7404, at Peppers Noosa Resort, they battled it out until the hammer fell at $820,000.

The very private one-bedroom apartment on the top floor and with a serene rainforest outlook, achieved a record price for the resort.

Chris Miller, whose outstanding tally now stands at 25 listed or sold in 20 months, said he was so happy for the buyers, who he had been working with for many months.

“They are Brisbane-based, excited to finally secure their own slice of Noosa and cannot wait to enjoy the property themselves, especially the short walk from the resort to the national park, Noosa Main Beach for a swim and Hastings Street for breakfast.”

Also having a jubilant Saturday was Lauren Chen at 52 Werin St, Tewantin.

After a huge campaign and seven registered bidders, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald called “sold” at $1.310m.

“What a result, and what a response from the market,” said an elated Lauren.

“Old Tewantin is certainly flourishing.

“We welcome our cousins from across the ditch as the new owners, who have been loving Noosa for the past 30 years and will now swap New Zealand for paradise.

“The seller is speechless and thrilled with the result.”

The Mal Cox-listed 1/19 Laburnum Cres, Noosaville, was sold prior to auction.

COSY SETTING CLOSE TO TOWN With just a short auction campaign a threebedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 7 Dunbar Ct, Cooroy, will be put to the market at 11am on Friday, August 27.

The home, on 601sq m and within walking distance of town, is being presented by Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa.

The sellers were originally from New South Wales, Jeanette said, but due to family circumstances need to return.

They have only held the property a short time so it is in immaculate condition.

“It’s in a good area, close to town, and low maintenance, with no neighbours at the back,’’ Jeanette said.

“The pool is at the front to catch the northerly sun, and creates better use of space as well as being private from the street.

“Judging by the amount of interest we are expecting an exciting auction.’’

Dunbar Cottage has a versatile floor plan with air-conditioned living and main bedroom.

Designed to be wheelchair friendly, it has a large, covered outdoor entertaining area with treed outlook.

There are three good sized bedrooms and two separate lounge areas.

The tiled combined living and dining area features raked ceilings while the galleystyle kitchen has been recently updated.

GRACIOUS LIVING A gracious five-bedroom, three-bathroom, four-car house on 0.4ha with pool at 88 Redwood Rd, Doonan, is set for auction at 11am Wednesday, September 8.

Auctioneer Justin Voss conducts bidding at 11 Goodchap St, Tewantin, on Saturday.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool on 601sq m at 7 Dunbar Ct, Cooroy, at 11am on Friday, August 27.

Mark Hodgkinson of Reed & Co is getting loads of interest on the highlydesirable property.

“There has been good engagement,’’ Mark said, “mostly from interstate and locals, with a number of virtual inspections.

“We are looking to go to full auction.

“The character Queenslander has a nice feel.

“People love the location and that it’s acreage living without being full acreage.

“It’s appealing in size, aesthetics and location.’’

Mark said there had been a huge response to the first open house, including a combination of Sydney and Melbourne interest either here or with family inspecting.

Brisbane people are circling and it is attracting Western Queensland interest looking to downsize but not wanting coastal living.

The upper level combines relaxed living with three good-sized bedrooms - a main suite with a walk-in robe and an ensuite.

The lower level features a further two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchenette/laundry and second living area.

It includes period details, hardwood timber floors, and a charming bay window coupled with modern features.

There is a wood fire in the lounge, ducted air-conditioning and solar power.

The property is fully fenced.

A GREAT RESULT It was a fantastic auction at 2/43 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, on Monday, August 16, from all reports.

Sam Plummer and Angela Wood at Noosa Estate Agents took the threebedroom duplex with two-plus bathroom, two-car garaging and pool to the market in the late afternoon.

There were eight registered bidders and a start at $1.6m. Then, 30 bids later, it sold for $1.865m to Melbourne buyers relocating to Noosa.

“There were about 80-90 inspections,’’ Sam said, “and a very relaxed event.

“It was a really good auction, it had a lovely feeling.’’

There were four phone bidders and four on ground - local as well as from Victoria and New South Wales.

ONE SALE LEADS TO ANOTHER ...

Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents have had a real run.

After selling the two-bedroom, twobathroom villa at 5/36 James St, Noosaville, at auction on Friday the 13th for $900,000, they were left with four new listings.

By the end of the week they had sold two, had one under offer and the other under negotiation.

It was one of six and in a beautiful location almost opposite riverside parkland.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 21 Safari St, Noosa Heads, has sold to local interest after multiple offers and a price guide of over $1.250m.

“They loved the central location yet it was still quiet,’’ Scott said. “They could see potential.’’

Negotiations were continuing on the two-bedroom, one-bathroom, ground-floor apartment at 214/24 Lake Weyba Dve that was listed at offers over $500,000.

Walls disappear concertina-style into oblivion revealing a seamless focus of the luminescent pool, spa and terrace from living areas, including a lavish cabana. The play of scale yet intimacy through varied ceiling heights, continues upstairs in the 6-bedrooms and bathrooms.

REACH FOR THE STARS FROM THE PENTHOUSE IF you have set your heart on the stellar address of Noosa Parade, a penthouse with an exclusive-use, over-generous rooftop terrace which almost seems suspended above lush palms and subtropical greenery, plus has 360-degree views stretching to the Noosa National Park headland, paradise awaits.

Suggesting year-round holidays is the sun-drenched interior. The wide open-plan living/dining space with breezy/coastal overlay, extra-high ceilings, neutral palette, natural stone-hued floor tiles and floor-toceiling bifold doors, has a total connection to the outdoors and the two wide undercover terraces, including one looking north-easterly over the resort’s landscaped gardens and pool.

Central to casual entertaining and family meals is a large kitchen with stone bench tops and breakfast bar, a walk-in pantry, every necessary high-end appliance, and appropriate necessity.

Revel in more good times on the rooftop terrace and be spoilt for choice, whether a barbeque under the shade sail, catching

a few rays on the sun lounges, sharing sundowners, and appreciating the good life alfresco.

The two bedrooms are carpeted and have built-in robes. The master with a bathroom ensuite, opens to the generous east-facing terrace, and the twin second bedroom also accesses the terrace. The family-size bathroom has a spa bath, and the laundry is fully equipped.

“Leave the car in its secure undercover space,” says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin, who is taking the property to auction on Sunday 12 September 2021. “Stroll to some of Australia’s top restaurants in Quamby Place, also Gympie Terrace, or walk to Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park with its world recognised Surfing Reserve.

Such are the pleasures of basking in a carefree, sun-splashed year-round idyllic playground, and this is a savvy investment opportunity that has never looked so good.” ●
