Vaccine is key By Margaret Maccoll

Vaccination of all is the best weapon in the fight against Covid but not the sole defence, says Noosa specialist emergency physician Dr Ian Norton, whose social enterprise Respond Global has been at the forefront of Australia’s battle against the virus since it began. “Vaccination is a big area. It is one tool,” he said. “In the UK and US they have reached 80 per cent but still have infection rates. “We will need to have other forms of de-

fence such as screening and tests. We need to remember all public health measures are going to be here for a lot longer. Freedom Day won’t be happening.” With 20 years’ experience in emergency medicine across the world, including heading the World Health Organisation’s Emergency Medical Team (EMT) Initiative program and being deployed to an Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Dr Norton and his team are at the ready to manage the Covid crisis. In the early days of the pandemic he was called to assist when the now famous Ruby

Princess cruise ship sat off Sydney with a quarter of the crew infected and 100 people symptomatic. When Victoria was hard hit by the virus in 2020 the Federal Government called on Dr Norton to come to the aid of an aged care sector in crisis. Ninety-seven per cent of aged care facilities had said they were ready for Covid, but clearly being ready on paper and truly being ready weren’t the same, he said. His team returned to Queensland from Victoria and left behind an incident management

electronic system and a preventative system that was working well and an aged care system “in a much better place”. During the latest wave of Covid in NSW, the Federal Health Department called on Respond Global to conduct rapid tests in affected local government areas. “We were the first group using rapid tests,” Dr Norton said. “We did it at Howard Springs [quarantine facility]. It’s well used in the UK and USA. Continued page 3

The editor’s desk This week Noosans have been involved in a few significant activities that deserve a shout out. Well done to the team that put together the Mayor’s inaugural ball and raised a whopping $300,000. That’s an incredible effort, even with the help of an Olympian and a mining magnate, and will surely go a long way to help the victims of Noosa’s unfortunately increasing domestic violence situation. What a great effort from Paralympic guide Briarna Silk who spent four years training with seeing and hearing-impaired athlete Katie Kelly. Briarna travelled from her Sunrise Beach home to the Gold Coast to train with Katie and help her compete in her second paratriathlete event in Tokyo. Congratulations to our lifesaver of the year Isaac Smith for his ongoing commitment to saving lives on our beaches. And what an amazing effort from our specialist emergency physician Dr Ian Norton who is fighting the Covid fight across Australia, introducing rapid Covid testing and taking vaccination to people in the country and the Pacific. This Sunday is Father’s Day so we wish all fathers a happy day. And to mark the occasion I’ll sign off with a couple of dad jokes. How do you row a canoe filled with puppies? Bring out the doggie paddle. Why couldn’t the bicycle stand up by itself? It was too tired. Why are spiders so smart? They can find everything on the web.

Huge crowd at protest By Abbey Cannan Hundreds of people gathered outside the Noosa Council Chambers on Tuesday in a silent protest against mandated Covid lockdowns and vaccinations. A poster encouraging people to attend the protest was shared among the community and stated the agenda as, “A time for Anzacs to stand across Australia and New Zealand. Our Government is abusive. Enough is enough.“ The sign went on to give community members directions for the protest, stating, “No signs, no speeches, no noise. Our presence is deafening. We stand in silence on Tuesday 31 August from 9am outside Noosa Council.“ A Queensland Police Service (QPS) spokeswoman said police monitored the crowd of between 200 and 300 people throughout the protest which finished at 12.30pm. “There weren’t any major dramas. There was no mention of any arrests,“ a QPS spokeswoman said. “Police take a compassionate approach to dealing with these sorts of things and supporting everyone’s right to protest. “But obviously there are still the directions in place from the Chief Health Officer that have to be abided, so that’s what police were monitoring today.“ On the advice of Queensland Police Service, Council temporarily closed its customer ser-

not a way of getting to zero.” Dr Norton said he didn’t expect NSW would return to zero Covid cases but saw the path forward would involve multiple health measures including high rates of vaccination to obtain herd immunity. “It’s about joining the rest of the world living with Covid. We have to alter our perspective. “When we open we will see local transmission. We still have a 30 per cent chance of catching it when vaccinated. If enough of us

are vaccinated, if we get into 90 per cent vaccinated, we’ll see the herd immunity kick in. We’ll see less spread.” He was disappointed at the roll out of health information on vaccines that has impacted vaccine uptake, saying AstraZeneca was a safe vaccine. While Victoria and NSW were building their vaccination numbers, Queensland was lagging with vaccine hesitancy and supply shortfalls as dominant issues, but he expected vaccines supplies to increase across Octo-

ber, November and December. The next phase in the vaccination rollout will be younger children. Dr Norton said with the Delta strain of Covid infecting children, discussions needed to be had with parents on vaccination and the risks. “We should follow what the rest of the world is doing,” he said. “Studies are occurring in other countries. We know vaccines are safe in pregnancy and that’s a good indication of the risks in young children. “To get truly herd immunity, we need to vaccinate children.” Respond Global is also branching beyond the Australian borders to assist countries in the Pacific. It is negotiating a vaccination rollout to Vanuatu using supplies of AstraZeneca from Australia, together with vaccines donated from other countries and their own funded supplies. The group plans to base themselves on a luxury vessel to conduct the rollout. For more, visit respond global.com

From page 1 “We did 300,000 tests over seven months. We were the best ones to roll it out in Sydney.” The tests take 10-15 minutes to provide a result and are 95 per cent accurate in people with Covid symptoms and 50-60 per cent accurate for asymptomatic people, who are less infective, he said. Respond Global has also been contacted by the Commonwealth Bank and other businesses to conduct rapid testing of their staff as part of ongoing management of the virus. In Queensland the group has been involved in vaccination, focusing on priority areas and with a team on the ground. “The state government has prioritised food and manufacturers as the need to supply food is essential and we are helping them vaccinate workers on site,” he said. Dr Norton described Australia as being on a knife edge in its effort to keep Covid out while dragging the chain on vaccination. “If people can get access to vaccination, they should step forward,” he said. “Vaccination is a way out of lockdown but

Briarna Silk and Katie Kelly wait 3.48 minutes for the signal to begin the swim leg of the race in Tokyo Bay.

Briarna Silk’s family cheer her and Katie on from their Sunrise Beach home.

Briarna’s valiant effort By Margaret Maccoll Triathlete Briarna Silk has won world championships, competed across the world and in consecutive Noosa Triathlons since 2003 and, last Saturday, she competed at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, not for herself, but as a guide for Paralympian Katie Kelly. For almost four years the Sunrise Beach triathlete has trained alongside the para-triathlete in preparation for Katie’s second Paralympics after she won gold in Rio in 2016. Briarna was looking for a new challenge when her coach passed on an email he’d received from Triathlon Australia seeking a paratriathlete guide for Katie who has Usher Syndrome causing her to have tunnel vision, no peripheral vision and partial deafness. “I thought that that could be interesting,“ Briarna said. After making it through testing and selection, Briarna began running alongside Katie, the two connected by a cord hooked at their hips. There’s a lot of preparation prior to the race, mapping out the course and practising transitions. Briarna said it had been a great experience and one that had forced her to push herself much harder as an athlete. “When you’re running yourself, you’re only thinking of yourself,“ Briarna said. “It’s more mentally fatiguing than you’d think. You’re making sure you’re guiding her. It’s challenging in that aspect. You’re always thinking ahead. “I felt I had to go 110 per cent. We are a team and you don’t want to let your team member down.“ During the swim leg of the race Briarna and Katie are clipped together with a bungie cord linking Briarna’s calf and Katie’s thigh. “It’s so I can guide her around without going off course,“ she said. “We swim quite freely but do knock each other a bit,“ she said.

The cycling section is raced on a tandem bike which Briarna, riding upfront, said was “a lot different from riding solo. “There’s a lot of weight. Riding tandem is a lot of effort. The flats are fantastic though, you go really fast.“ Competing in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was “an amazing experience“, Briarna said. “Obviously we didn’t have the crowds. We had fellow team members come along and support us and being an open event the locals were able to line the course, fully masked. It still felt like a really big deal. Being my first Olympics I didn’t know how that feels.“ Race day was particularly hot and humid for the competitors. It was 34 degrees Celsius and felt like 39 degrees and about 80 per cent humidity. “It was one of the hottest races ever experienced,“ Briarna said. “It definitely caught up with all the athletes.“ Due to the difference in disability, their Spanish competitors were given a 3.48 minute lead which proved insurmountable on the day with Briarna and Katie coming in sixth place. “It was a torrid race, but we gave it all we had right to the end,” Briarna said. Briarna said full credit went to the coach Dan Atkins who had two athletes in the Olympics and two athletes in the Paralympics. “His training and dedication has been amazing,“ she said. “It’s definitely been a team effort from everyone.“ Briarna said Katie had decided to retire from future Olympic goals after achieving everything she had wanted to accomplish and ending the partnership. “It’s a little sad but we’ve had quite a journey together,“ she said. Briarna left Tokyo Thursday night heading to Sydney where she will quarantine for two weeks before returning to Noosa to prepare for the Noosa Tri in November.

Wahpunga Lane Bridge.

Bridge limit to increase to unlimited.

Big bridge cost blowout By Nick Thompson Budget blowouts on Kin Kin’s Wahpunga Lane Bridge and Cooran’s Tableland Road Bridge were outlined at a Special Meeting of Noosa Council on Monday. The projected cost of building a new bridge in Kin Kin has soared by 80 per cent and the Cooran bridge by 40 per cent since the council’s budget was signed off only two months ago. A report drawn up for the councillors by project coordinator Dennis Luinstra also revealed three significant developments: 1. Early talk of the new bridge being “double lane” has been dropped with the council now referring to a “wider single lane” bridge design. 2. The new bridge will have an unlimited load limit - meaning that large ‘truck and dog’ combinations servicing the nearby Kin Kin Quarry will be able, should they want, to use Wahpunga Lane for runs into the Gympie area for the first time. 3. Previous announcements referring to a 2021 start date for the Wahpunga Lane Bridge (along with even earlier statements in 2019 and 2020) can also be forgotten. The latest plan sees “an anticipated construction start date” in January 2022 following the completion of the Tableland Road Bridge scheduled for construction from October to December this year. Readers of the author’s publication Kinnections will be aware that many politicians and government bodies have announced the Wahpunga Lane Bridge Replacement Project over the years - without any of them actually getting round to building it.

Throughout that time, the total project cost has always been set at just over $1.5 million with the funding split evenly between the Federal Government and Noosa Council. Federal MP Llew O’Brien set the ball rolling when he made the first announcement about the bridge back in May 2019. At that time he said each party would put in $763,661 towards the cost of a new concrete crossing over the Kin Kin Creek. This same figure was quoted when details of the project were tabled in the Federal Senate hearings in October 2020. The Queensland Government also used this figure when it included the project in its Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program 2020/21 - 2023/24. Most recently, Noosa Council included a total of just over $1.35 million to be spent on the bridge as part of its capital works program in the current financial year 2021/22. That program was approved and signed off by councillors as part of the council’s Budget process on 30 June - just 61 days before the meeting. But in his report for the special meeting chaired by Mayor Clare Stewart, Mr Luinstra revealed the project cost has now soared by 78.97 per cent to more than $2.7 million Officially, there are three principal reasons why the costs have ballooned - and it seems we can blame the Covid-19 pandemic for two of them. Tenders submitted by four companies hoping to win the contract have come in higher than originally expected because current market saturation - in other words, an increased demand for qualified bridgebuilders - has resulted in tenders “higher than budget“.

The price of steel for construction projects has risen steeply. An “identified scour issue“ (erosion of the river banks) on the north-east side of the bridge will have to be resolved with steel sheet piling and extended guard rails. This was not included in the original project plans. The companies bidding for the project have been named as Ark Construction, DavBridge Constructions, Hall Contracting and SGQ. Having assessed all of the bids, council officials have described SGQ’s submission as the “most favourable“ on a number of grounds including its “experience, capability, and resourcing to carry out the works“. SGQ also “scored highest for non-price criteria and combined price and non-price criteria“. Mr Luinstra is recommending the council awards the contract for the bridge renewal to SGQ Pty Ltd. On 30 June, just 61 days ago, councillors unanimously approved a budget for the current financial year. At that time, the total expected cost of the Wahpunga Lane Bridge project was expected to come in at $1.52 million with $1.35 million of it falling due in 2021/22. Now, on 30 August, the project cost is sitting at more than $2.7 million - an incredible 78.97 per cent increase. Well, it turns out that council officials, having discovered the size of the blowout, have already contacted the Federal Government and have sought extra funding under the national Bridewal Program. And the good news is that the Feds agreed to provide some additional cash on a 50 per cent co-funding from council basis. They are going to tap into the taxpayer-

funded Bridges Renewal Program in order to provide additional funding of nearly $568,000. Unfortunately, Noosa Council’s application for additional federal funding was made when global steel prices were rising. And the price has continued to rise since then. So while the application was approved, not all of the extra steel cost will be covered by the national bridge building fund. And that means the project is no longer a 50-50 deal. Noosa Council will need to an extra $638,000 compared to the federal share of $568,000 to meet the budget shortfall. And Noosa’s ratepayers are going to have to cover that. One item of good news for local residents is that disruption during construction will be kept to a minimum. “Weather permitting, Wahpunga Lane Bridge will have a relatively short construction duration of 12 weeks, due to the prescribed construction method using mostly prefabricated bolt-on components, combined with a bored piling solution,“ the report states. “During the temporary road closure, a detour will be made available along Sister Tree Creek Road and Gympie Kin Kin Road.“ Emergency services, local residents and road users will be advised “well up front“ before the contractor introduces detours in advance of the planned bridge deconstruction. The cost of the proposed Tablelands Road Bridge replacement project has increased by 43 per cent - an extra $409,000. Once again, Canberra will contribute $204,000 towards the budget shortfall but Noosa Council will need to find an extra $206,000 from somewhere.

Isaac’s service honoured By Abbey Cannan Noosa’s Isaac Smith said he was honoured to be named Regional Lifeguard of the Year. “I feel very chuffed, especially amongst all my peers, because there’s so many great lifeguards here on the Sunshine Coast, both male and female,“ he said. Although Isaac has been in countless major incidents throughout his career, he said it was the little things that meant the most to him. “It’s not about how many rescues you’ve done, it’s the little bit extra that you do,“ he said. “Whether it’s someone’s having a bad day in a major incident out at the National Park and being able to assist them, or reassuring someone’s loved one who has been hurt that they’re going to be fine. “It’s about being that person that they remember as being there for them in a time of need.“ His career highlights include being a mentor to the junior lifeguards, some of his peers and showing leadership. “I’ve loved watching the nippers and aspiring lifeguards come through the ranks. Over my years I’ve seen a lot of little nippers start in under fives and now they’re professional lifeguards, which is great to see,“ he said. Isaac implemented the interservice Noosa National Park induction which has seen countless lifeguards and lifesavers become familiar with the dangerous Noosa National Park Area that is the subject of numerous calls for assistance every year. “A lot of years ago we found that we were getting called into the National Park more and more,“ Isaac said. “We don’t just do the typical lifeguarding in front of the tower at Main Beach. We get called to the River Mouth, the North Shore, the street for first aid, and also to the National Park.

Although Isaac has been in countless major incidents throughout his career, it’s the little things that mean the most to him. “The National Park, as you know, is so big and vast. It’s very populated but very isolated, so if someone gets injured in there, whether it be at Tea Tree, Granite Bay or Hell’s Gates, regardless of what injury they had, we were finding we had a lot of communications problems with radio dead spots.

“I came up with the National Park induction to teach safety, risk assessments, what equipment to take, and all that kind of stuff.“ This induction has been rolled out to all emergency services including QAS, QPS, QLD Fire and Rescue. “It’s made a huge difference to our response

times because everyone knows the best tracks to take and how to relay messages to our communications centre,“ Isaac said. “It makes rescues a lot more streamlined.“ Isaac said he would continue lifeguarding as long as his body will enable him to. “It’s a healthy, happy job,“ he said.

Taskforce success Police have released the six-month results of a multi-agency taskforce dismantling criminal networks attempting to import illicit drugs and firearms into Queensland. Taskforce Sentry comprises of members of QPS’ Crime and Intelligence Command, the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the Australian Border Force (ABF) and the Department of Home Affairs, collaborating to gather intelligence, implement investigative strategies and take action against syndicates smuggling and distributing illicit items including through postal and cargo streams. Established in February 2021, the taskforce has achieved a series of operational results, charging a total of 90 people on 414 offences, including drug trafficking, production and possession charges. Significant quantities of drugs have been seized through taskforce tactical action including more than six kilograms of cocaine, two kilograms of methylamphetamine, one kilogram of MDMA, 67 litres of GHB and 391kg of cannabis. These seizures are in addition to more than $19 million in drug border seizures referred to Taskforce Sentry for investigation, including border seizures of heroin, methylamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA and GHB. Assistant Commissioner Katherine Innes, Crime and Intelligence Command, said the colocation of taskforce members at Queensland

Significant quantities of drugs have been seized through taskforce tactical action including over six kilograms of cocaine, two kilograms of methylamphetamine, one kilogram of MDMA, 67 litres of GHB and 391kg of cannabis. Police headquarters was an important measure in disrupting criminal syndicates and stopping the distribution of drugs and weapons into the Queensland community. “As a result of excellent cooperation and investigative work, Taskforce Sentry has seized 10 firearms, $2.6 million cash and $10.7 million worth of drugs, bringing the total value of drugs seized from criminal networks operating in Queensland to close to $30 million,” Assistant Commissioner Innes said. “Organised crime syndicates use their networks across the country, and across the world, to facilitate a range of criminal activi-

ties including the activities linked to the illicit drug and firearm trades. “By working together across national and international borders, we gather important intelligence to assist with targeted disruption activities and build our intelligence holdings to support current and future investigations.“ AFP Assistant Commissioner Lesa Gale said Taskforce Sentry was a testament to the AFP’s determination to work with partners to stop the importation of drugs into Australia. “The Australian public can rest assured that the AFP and its partner agencies are committed to keeping the community safe. This taskforce aims to disrupt criminals who seek to profit from bringing illicit substances into Australia and protect Australians from the terrible social damage caused by drug abuse and addiction,” Assistant Commissioner Gale said. The taskforce has also provided tactical support to major multi-agency drug operations, including AFP-led Operation Ironside. During the course of Operation Ironside, Taskforce Sentry assisted in dismantling a Brisbane-based drug syndicate that was allegedly hiding drugs inside computer hard drives mailed from the United States. Police removed the illicit drugs before delivering the packages to a Woolloongabba address on 17 May, where a criminal safehouse was discovered and following investigations, three alleged syndicate members arrested.

Sunshine Coast teen killed in tragic crash A Sunshine Coast teen has been killed in a horror crash while waiting for emergency assistance on the side of the Bruce Highway. Police are investigating the crash that took the life of the 17-year-old in Palmview on Monday 30 August. Early information indicates the young

man was travelling north on the Bruce Highway when his car collided with the guard rail. He exited his vehicle and was waiting for assistance in the emergency stopping lane. At about 8pm another vehicle, also heading northbound, hit the youth. The teenager was pronounced deceased at

the scene and the driver of the second vehicle was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Anyone with information relating to this incident or relevant dash cam footage from that area is urged to contact police. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

Spirit House restaurant destroyed By Abbey Cannan The Sunshine Coast’s most awarded Asian restaurant has been forced to close for six weeks after a man completely destroyed their kitchen. The Spirit House at Yandina’s co-owners walked into their wrecked kitchen at 5.30am on Monday to find the man still smashing up the restaurant. A 43-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has been charged with a string of offences including two counts of wilful damage. The Spirit House owners said the six-week closure and extensive damages would cost them anywhere between $850,000 to $900,000. “He must have had a hatred for red wine, computers and anything electric as they were all destroyed, and then he dusted the entire place in fire extinguisher dust,“ they said. “The Cooking School can continue to function but it will be around six weeks or so before repairs are completed to the restaurant.” Spirit House will be contacting everyone with a booking and will update the community when repairs have been completed. “Thanks for all your kind wishes and support, it means a great deal to all of us at Spirit House,” they said. “We hope this man gets all the help he needs and look forward to seeing you all again once the repairs have been completed.”

Peregian gala marks fire and fundraising effort

Council and quarry meet A “without prejudice” legal discussion was held last week between Noosa Council officials and representatives from Cordwell Resources operators of the Kin Kin quarry. The discussions followed months of public protests, community meetings and council initiated roundtable meetings regarding the impact on the community and road safety of more than 200 quarry haulage trucks travelling on the narrow, winding Pomona-Kin Kin Road. In a statement, council said due to Covid restrictions and lockdowns, it was the first time the two parties have managed to arrange a suitable time to hold such talks with their legal representation. “At last week’s Kin Kin Roundtable, members were told the talks considered possible options to prevent proceedings being filed in

the Planning and Environment Court,” the statement said. “Last week’s discussions would remain confidential to allow both parties to consider their options, prior to any proceedings being lodged.” Kin Kin Community president Jann Bonsall said the community had worked hard to gather evidence over the past months. She said they couldn’t predict what would result from the discussion so would just need to take a breath and wait. Mayor Clare Stewart said Council has advised Cordwells and members of the Kin Kin Roundtable there were plans to commence proceedings in the Planning and Environment Court in about three weeks, if further agreements haven’t been reached.

Brisbane based poet Rupert McCall holds a special place in the hearts of the New York Fire Department following his critically acclaimed tribute, A Firefighter’s Dream, written in response to the tragic events of 9/11 which he will recite at the Spirit of Peregian Gala Ball on 11 September. New York’s Captain of Rescue 2 Liam Flaherty said he was so impressed when he first heard Rupert’s critically acclaimed tribute that he contacted Rupert and invited him to New York to recite the poem. Captain Flaherty said in the years following 9/11, he had heard speeches, songs, poems and sermons from poets, priests and politicians alike, but Rupert’s poem was head and shoulders above the rest. “I could not believe that a person a half a world away - someone I had never met - could strike a chord so closely with our experience in New York. This man has an incredible gift. “In 2011, I invited Rupert to New York and, on the night of 9/11, in a sunset ceremony at the site of the World Trade Centre, he stunned a crowd of thousands when he recited those magical words on the very ground where so many of my brothers were lost. “There wasn’t a dry eye on the street that night. It remains one of the most powerful moments I have ever experienced.” Rupert will be the special guest and MC for the 2021 Spirit of Peregian Gala Ball on the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attack at a fundraising dinner under the stars to support the future re-building of the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club. Peregian Family and Friends Inc founder and vice president Leigh McCready said she

Rupert McCall and New York fireman Liam Flaherty. was delighted to have Rupert participate in the fundraising event. “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. “For more than 25 years, Rupert’s tributes to special events and occasions have become highly sought-after and treasured for the indelible mark they’ve left on audiences everywhere.” Raised in Redcliffe, the father of four is the author of six anthologies of verse that have collectively sold over 120,000 copies and has been a regular on radio and TV. The gala event commences at 4.30pm with tickets at $280 per person which includes a specially curated canapes and three-course meal by acclaimed local chefs Peter Kuruvita, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Adriano Zumbo as well as live music.

Cupcake treats for RSPCA By Margaret Maccoll Animal lovers tread a steady path to RSPCA Noosa on Saturday to support the shelter at its annual cupcake day and garage sale. RSPCA Noosa founding members Margaret Eldridge and Joyce Burton were there to see how the shelter had progressed since it began with funds raised through many raffles. “It’s changed a lot,“ they said. “The facilities are much better and the gardens are fabulous.“ Shelter manager Nicole Cleary said she was thrilled with the support they received from the many people who attended the event and the money raised for the shelter. She thanked the people who had cooked cupcakes including some ladies from local aged care homes, Annemarie for her popular tomato relish, and the many others who donated and volunteered for the event.

Gym junkie By Peter Owen She might not be as sprightly as she once was, and she sometimes has trouble remembering birthdays, but Jessica Benton never forgets her appointments at the gymnasium. She turns up twice a week at Noosa Springs Fitness Centre for her regular workouts. Not bad going for a woman just a few weeks short of her 100th birthday. Jessica Benton, who grew up in England and migrated to Australia in the 1950s, lives in Tasmania, but spends three months each year in Noosa, where she stays with her daughter Patsy Fisher at her Sunshine Beach home. Patsy, herself a remarkably youthful 66, is a fitness instructor at Noosa Springs and Jessica tags along twice a week, where she undertakes a program specially designed for her by an exercise physiologist. “I use all the machines,” Jessica proudly declares, as she leads the way into a fitness centre which is crowded even in the early afternoon. “I love it,” she said. “Training has become part of my life. It gives me a reason to get up every morning.” Jessica, the mother of four children and a widow for 20 years, continues her training regime even when she’s home in the Hobart suburb of Kingston. A friend picks her up at 6am three mornings a week - even in the cold darkness of winter - and takes her to the same neighbourhood gymnasium she’s been using for years. “Of course it’s easier for her here where the weather’s so much nicer,” said daughter Patsy. “She’s a marvel - an absolute inspiration,” Patsy said. “Everybody knows her here and she’s always made so welcome. “There’s a more mature clientele and it’s a very safe environment and culture. It’s given mum a whole new lease on life.”

Shrubs and gardens down Eumundi’s Memorial Drive.

Eumundi park turns over new leaf for visitors

Jessica Benton tackles a strengthening machine at Noosa Springs’ fitness centre.

Allan Templeton Park in Eumundi has received an upgrade, providing a fresh, new look for visitors. Works started at the end of July giving the green heart a welcoming look. Sunshine Coast Council Division 10 Councillor David Law said he was glad to see the ageing steel and timber shelter replaced. “The shelter was well passed its use by date and we have also removed the shelter furniture and associated water tank,” Cr Law said. “The dead tree behind the shelter and the timber bollards along the park access way have also been taken away. “Council has installed a new picnic setting on the existing, refurbished concrete slab, which was pressure cleaned and modified in size. “I think the new setting is more inviting and I hope families, friends and locals will

get better use out of it. “As the park name suggests, we have taken on former Maroochy Shire Councillor Allan Templeton’s green thumb approach by increasing the grassed area where items were removed and have planted new trees to help act as vehicle barriers. “The late Mr Templeton was a councillor from 1970 to 1988 before becoming a leading ginger farmer. “I’ve been told that it was Allan who put the green into Eumundi by planting shrubs and gardens down Eumundi’s Memorial Drive. “Now the bustling town is bursting with shady nooks and green parks for generations to enjoy. “It’s amazing to see how a small difference can go a long way, especially when you view the before and after pictures. “I hope the community enjoys the new look as much as I do.”

Works to ease congestion Safety is set to be improved and congestion eased with preliminary works starting on Stage 1 of the Tewantin Bypass later this month. State Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said water main relocation works would prepare for major construction to start on a new, two-lane roundabout at Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road later this year. “This Queensland Government-funded project is being designed and built by Noosa Council to improve safety and ease congestion at this busy intersection,“ Mr Bailey said. “We have committed $9.81 million to this project as part of our $27.5 billion, four-year roads and transport investment plan supporting our Covid-19 economic recovery. “This investment is expected to support an average of 24,000 direct jobs, while also improving roads across Queensland to provide better connections for communities. “We are continually looking to strengthen

Queensland’s transport network, particularly in growth regions like the Sunshine Coast.” Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the intersection upgrade would boost safety and efficiency on one of the region’s busiest local roads. “The Tewantin bypass is the final link in Noosa’s major arterial road network with planning identifying the Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road intersection as the first location for an upgrade,“ Cr Stewart said. “The new roundabout will facilitate freeflowing traffic to improve congestion and the design will tie in with long-term plans for a future bypass road. “The inclusion of pedestrian refuges and provision for on-road bike riders also means the roundabout will safely accommodate all road users. “With final design nearing completion, preliminary works to relocate the water main can begin, followed by major works to build

the new roundabout. “We are excited to see the project get up and running and we will keep the local community and motorists informed about its progress.” Ms Stewart said the start of preliminary works would see some short-term changes for motorists. “Lower speed limits will apply, and motorists are reminded to take note of changed traffic conditions and any directions given by traffic control,” she said. “Fortunately, the new roundabout is positioned away from the existing intersection, which will reduce some of the impacts and inconvenience. “Council will post updates to Facebook to let motorists and locals know when to expect changed traffic conditions. “We thank the community for their patience while this important project is underway.”

Final stage of early works on Stage 1 of the Tewantin Bypass kick off this week, with the relocation of the watermain on Beckmans and Cooroy-Noosa roads. For more information about the Tewantin Bypass project, visit noosa.qld.gov.au/community/major-projects/tewantin-bypass and check Council’s Facebook page for updates as the project progresses.

New climate change grant to help Noosa reach zero The Climate Change Response Grant is a new addition to Council’s Community Grants Program.

grams must address one or more of the themes identified in the Noosa Climate Change Response Plan. “This is a brand-new category of grants available from Council and it is envisaged that a variety of projects and programs will be put forward for consideration that could include, but not limited to, education programs, pilot programs, studies, events and sector specific programs to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change. Alison Hamblin, Community Development Manager said, “The new grant is being added to Council’s already robust Community Grants Program, which includes Environment Projects Grant, Community Projects

Grant and Regional Arts Development Fund grants.” “Our grants are intended to help meet community and environmental needs, build community skills and resilience and develop and maintain community infrastructure. We encourage anyone who meets these requirements to submit an application,” Ms Hamblin said. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. Grant applications for this round can be submitted from until noon 6 October 2021.

Landmark Noosa auction By Erle Levey It’s a landmark site that is being regarded as an opportunity of a lifetime. The auction this month of 7 Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads, marks the first time the site has been offered for sale since the original development of Noosa Sound in the 1970s. Marketed by Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate, the 1120sq m property enjoys 20.2-metre frontage to both the water and to Noosa Parade. Included are three two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartments, a commercial office and jetty. It has complete parkland frontage to the east and at the waterfront to the west. Agency principal Tom Offermann said 7 Noosa Parade was one of those sites that won’t be fully appreciated by most people until it is redeveloped into the most luxurious apartments or a stunning home. With parkland on both sides at the waterfront, and Noosa’s Main Beach just two minutes across the road, it is regarded as an opportunity in a lifetime. “To obtain a waterfront site like this on Noosa Sound would normally require buying two adjoining properties which is virtually impossible, making this a one-off opportunity which cannot be repeated. “The holding income from the existing three properties on the site is a bonus.” With Noosa Sound having been developed in the 1970s on the former Hays Island, the site has more than 40 years of history. It was the original sales office of Noosa Sound. Chris Miller said it was an honour to be marketing the property, especially with the multiple opportunities it provided. “What sets it apart is the size, and that it has street frontage and river frontage,’’ he said. “It is an exciting opportunity for a water-

International interest as well as a substantial portion from interstate.

Yet there has been a really strong contingent of locals who have looked at that site for decades. “It’s interesting when you see what has been happening in Noosaville with high-end apartments. “That has not been tested so close to Hastings Street without being on the beachfront. “It’s one of a kind. “The owners have progressively secured the four lots over a period of time.’’ Noosa Sound waterfront sites were marketed

Just Skin ready to open Just Skin Treatment Clinic, with clinics located in Noosa, Maroochydore, and Gympie, is one of the only private clinics in Australia to offer Superficial Radiotherapy; a revolutionary, evidence-based, non-surgical treatment for nonmelanoma skin cancer. With skin cancer affecting two out of three Australians by the time they’re 70, having a choice when it comes to treatment options is exceptionally important for the overall health and wellbeing of those impacted. Non-melanoma skin cancers such as Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) are the most common type of skin cancer and, fortunately, are also the most treatable. BCC account for approximately 70 per cent of all non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosis in Australia, with SCC making up the remaining 30 per cent. For these types of skin cancer, superficial radiotherapy is an ideal treatment option, particularly when surgery isn’t suitable. There are a variety of reasons why surgery may not be suitable and can include when blood thinning medication is being taken, if there are concerns around wound healing, when multiple skin cancers present, or if avoiding surgery is a personal preference. Superficial radiotherapy has been used to treat non-melanoma skin cancers for hundreds of years. In fact, the first documented case was in 1902 where a BCC on the nose was successfully treated. Today, superficial radiotherapy is known the world over for its extremely effective treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers. This treatment also differs from the more commonly known types of radiotherapy. As the term ‘superficial’ suggests, it only penetrates skin deep, making it ideal to combat non-melanoma skin cancer, while offering results on par with surgery. Superficial radiotherapy works by using a

Add 2020 to the top shelf There’s no slowing down what is arguably one of the state’s booming industries, gin and whisky distilling. Adding something unique to the top shelf in 2020 is the aptly named 20 20 Distillery founded by FIFO mining construction manager Brian Bedding. Opened in Cooroy in the Noosa Hinterland in May 2020, 20 20 Distillery has been a labour of love for Bedding for the past two years with locations and plans having shifted over that time, largely due to the hefty Queensland fire levy. 20 20 Distillery’s product range will be idyllically Queensland, with a beautiful range of gins, single malt whisky and delicious liqueurs

using seasonal fruits from the Sunshine Coast’s fruit bowl. “At 20 20 Distillery we believe in not overcomplicating things, and taking things back to their roots,” Brian said. “Our East London Dry Gin has only seven botanicals that are very similar to the botanical makeup of the early 1800s original London Dry, and our single malt whisky will be mashed using similar methods that date back to the beginning of Scotch Whisky in Scotland distilled in a traditional copper pot still.” All of the distilled products will be cut on the still “the old fashioned way” - by smell and taste - and hand bottled and labelled.

Wildlife wait counted By Margaret Maccoll How many sick and injured wildlife are rescued each year, how long do they wait, suffering, before help or pain relief is given and what happens to them? These are just a few of the wildlife rescue mysteries University of Queensland PhD candidate Gloeta Massie is trying to unravel through her research and she is calling on people to help fill in the blanks by filling in her survey for her project titled Bodies in Boxes. A wildlife biologist Gloeta spoke to wildlife carers and wildlife hospital staff before taking on a research project that would assist their work and could be conducted within Covid restrictions. Gloeta said statistics on rescue numbers were inadequate but the ones kept show the number of native animals being rescued was vast. The RSPCA Wildlife Hospital at Wacol in Brisbane cares for about 27,000 wildlife a year, making it the largest wildlife hospital in Australia, she said, and data in NSW shows annual rescues of 50,000 from rescue groups. As there is no national database, many wildlife rescues are not reported. Individuals take home wildlife, care for it and release it. Many people take wildlife to local veterinarians which may go unreported and creates another dilemma. Gloeta said vets do not charge to care for wildlife but must rationalise the care they are able to provide for free to wildlife with the viability of their practices. “These are stressful choices,“ said Gloeta who also pointed to the limitations of veteri-

narians who were well instructed in the care of domestic animals through their training but were not as well trained in the care of Australia’s 450 or so wildlife species. She said being able to access a wildlife specialist or hotline would be a valuable resource for vets and may be an issue also considered in her research. Gloeta also asks how many roadblocks there are to people transporting a sick or injured animal they discover to available medical care. She said it would be more efficient if a system was put in place that could alert people to a medical facility able in real time to provide care to wildlife. Gloeta wants to know how long wildlife wait after being discovered ill or injured, captured, placed in a container or box and transported to a wildlife carer, wildlife hospital or veterinarian before they receive care and pain relief. “Waiting in pain is horrific,“ she said. “It may have taken several hours to get to care. The key aim with hospitals is to find out how to improve the treatment.“ There are also questions to be asked on the expected outcomes of communities of wildlife rescue and the funding they are willing to contribute to it. To answer her questions and improve the care for wildlife Gloeta aims to reach people across Australia to ask about their thoughts and experiences with wildlife rescue, whether they’ve ever rescued wildlife or not. To complete her survey visit uniofqueensland.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/ form/SV_4HnGwY6BbIVB9nE

Father’s Day in the garden By Alan Lander Where’s a good place to enjoy Fathers Day on Sunday, September 5? Noosa Botanic Gardens - that’s where. There’s a host of happenings at the gardens on that day, starting with a Bird Walk at 8-9am where noted avian photographer Karl Granzien will identify some of the birdlife that calls the gardens home. From 10am to noon, you can head down to the poinciana trees near the Shade Garden to listen to the Noosa Orchestra Wind Quintet. The Botanic Gardens Friends have also organised for a coffee van to be on hand to quench the thirsts, and you can bring a picnic down and grab one of the many little hideaway spots next to the lake to enjoy some good family time. It’s all taking place Sunday, September 5, from 9am at Noosa Botanic Gardens at Lake Macdonald. Meanwhile, the Friends of the Botanic Gardens are excited they have received $500 in a community grant, which is to be the first step towards providing an electric golf buggy for people with mobility issues, to enjoy the gardens. For more information visit noosabotanicgardensfriends.com

David Brownlee, his son Indie and their dog Bowie enjoy time in Noosa Botanic Gardens.

Glamorous for a cause A night of glitz and glamour was promised at the inaugural Mingle with the Mayor Ball and delivered along with an extraordinary $300,000 for Sunny Kids to provide emergency accommodation and support to mothers and children affected by domestic violence. About 150 guests dressed to the nines at the Sofitel Noosa Resort Saturday night including special arrivals Olympian Dawn Fraser, mining magnate Gina Rinehart, rugby player Michael O’Connor, television presenter Kay McGrath and former Getaway presenter Kelly Landry. The Voice runner up Luke Kennedy entertained the crowd with four inspiring tunes while funds were forthcoming with $17,000 in direct donations and $222,000 raised in live auctions of items donated by local businesses on the night with pledges and silent auctions left to tally later. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart welcomed guests to the event before taking to the stage to acknowledge special guests and pay tribute to those who made the event a reality. “Tonight is about courage, it’s about speaking out and it’s about speaking up,” she said. “Standing firmly for what you believe in and being a voice for those with none. There is no greater champion of this than one particular person - Dawn Fraser or rather as Ted O’Brien MP refers to her: ‘Her Royal Highness’. “We have another Australian hero and according to our Olympic athletes the woman ‘who saved swimming’. Like Dawn, Mrs Rinehart has been a huge supporter of our country, our athletes and our community. “They say it takes a village. Indeed it does. Tonight would not have been possible without a group of remarkable women who came together for the very best of reasons and I thank the Ball Team of Action wholeheartedly for their remarkable efforts. I’d also like to personally acknowledge the women’s circle, Leigh McCready and the legend that is Josanne Falla. Josanne has led the team and championed this cause from the very beginning and worked so incredibly hard. “Noosa is at its best when it gets behind its own. The community support and business support for tonight has been overwhelming. The organising committee have given hundreds of hours of their time and the community has rallied. “Domestic violence. We all hate it. We all want to eradicate it. It’s a disease destroying so many lives. Here in Noosa, incidents of domestic violence have increased by nearly 50 per cent since Covid. Our local police are spending 40 per cent of their working lives on incidents relating to DV. These stats are frightening but they are real. We can talk the talk but what we must now do is walk the walk. We must continue to advocate for more funding from government and we must continue to speak up. Tonight we speak up and all here tonight have stood up.” Luke Kennedy echoed the mayor’s sentiments during the night when he sang his rendition of John Farnham’s song, You’re the Voice: We have the chance to turn the pages over; we can write what we want to write... Believing we can make it better. we’re not gonna sit in silence, we’re not gonna live with fear ... make a noise and make it clear. 24 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 September, 2021

WALTZING JIMEOIN TEN, 4pm

Stand-up comedian Jimeoin (pictured) proves camping isn’t so bad in this lighthearted series road-tripping from Sydney to the Whitsundays. The Irish-born funnyman has an easygoing humour; many will remember his namesake TV series from the mid-’90s, with a handful of specials since. So it’s no surprise that he tickles the funnybone in this camping, chatting and stand-up show hybrid, showcasing beautiful Aussie destinations as he cruises around in a stylish light-blue Volkswagen Kombi.

SATURDAY

THE KING’S SPEECH SBS, 9.40pm

Tom Hooper’s moving tale about the little-known relationship between King George VI and an unorthodox Australian speech therapist is a feelgood tale wrapped up in royal intrigue. Colin Firth delivers an Oscar-winning performance as the stammering king, struggling to overcome his impediment in order to present a composed, eloquent figure to the English public as World War II breaks out. Equally inspiring is Geoffrey Rush, whose quirky, cheeky Lionel Logue bounces brilliantly off the reserved, austere royal he is trying to help. Aussie Guy Pearce is the abdicating King Edward VIII and Helena Bonham Carter (pictured) is as composed as she has ever been as Queen Elizabeth. A rare work of art and a must-see.

HYPOTHETICAL SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm

You’re invited to join the ridiculousness with comedians Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster (pictured above). Let your mind drift, the giggles escape and a general feeling of silliness overtake you. With Acaster’s signature blend of awkward, nerdy humour and Widdicombe’s comical sidekick role, it’s the show’s freewheeling sense of fun and creativity that makes it unique. Unlike Would I Lie To You? and Mock The Week, which sometimes feel staged, Hypothetical appears to ﬂy by the seat of its pants. In tonight’s season one ﬁnal, Guz Khan, Cariad Lloyd, David O’Doherty and Sara Pascoe join the merriment with answers for absurd hypothetical situations. It’ll test your imagination.

After almost two months of feverishly tuning in three nights a week, the moment fans have been speculating about has arrived: the winner will be crowned. With their pride and a whopping $500,000 on the line, which contestant will leave the ﬁnal tribal council as the Sole Survivor? The spectacle of pure determination, manipulation and brute strength has seen the 24 contestants push themselves to their absolute limits in the outback of Cloncurry, Queensland. Even host Jonathan LaPaglia, who “couldn’t speak it was so hot” at times, wasn’t immune from the harsh conditions. Billed as a battle between brains and brawn, who will triumph? Jonathan LaPaglia hosts Australian Survivor.

Tourism takes a back seat Ms Jackson questions my tourism employment figures (NT 27 August) using outdated data to extrapolate inflated estimates of the flow-on effect from tourism to other industries. For the past year or more, there has been been much less benefit for our ancillary industries as lockdowns and border closures have had drastic effects on the hospitality industry. In fact, the flow-on effects to other industries from our booming construction and health sectors will likely push them well ahead of tourism. It’s important that, at the time when council is considering a new three-year funding agreement with Tourism Noosa, there is open community discussion on how much one industry should be subsidised at the expense of others. Especially since council has only observer status on the Tourism Noosa board. Currently their prime marketing campaign consists of promoting the drive market and asking residents to consider staycations. Considering these markets know the place, what sort of value is this that warrants a $2.5m hand-out each year? Rod Ritchie, Cooroy

Dawn rising In the chook pen, Top Cock laid it on the line to the huddled, silent flock: “The dawn is not far away and we are working towards that dawn and we are hastening towards that dawn. We should not delay it. We should prepare for it. We should not fear it. We should embrace it”. How good’s radiance? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

The need for energy policy change The fiscal impact of the projected immense debt from the Covid-19 Relief Package confronts Australia with an unacceptably dangerous fiscal position, necessitating the urgent reestablishment of viable local manufacturing industry. This objective is unattainable without the availability of abundant, internationally competitive, reliable electricity supply to the manufacturer. As Australia must re-establish manufacturing to survive and grow, an affordable, reliable energy with low ‘emissions’ is politically critical for manufacturing to be re-established. Meeting this imperative will provide the path to avoiding a fiscal calamity. As the intermittent wind and solar energy sources cannot provide reliable and competitively priced energy to Australian industry, another low emissions solution must be found. Existing Australian coal-fired power stations provided well-priced energy in the past and can do so again if relieved of the renewable energy operating constraints and penalties. Unfortunately, the carbon dioxide emissions from the coal-fired power generating plants fail to meet agreement commitments; again requiring an alternative solution. However, the existing steam turbine generators and their electrical distribution arrangements do not contravene existing regulations and are energy efficient. In combination with Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMR) now becoming available, being incorporated into a new power generation package, there is a technical solution to these emerging problems.

Rolls Royce has developed an SMR of attractive capacity for possible Australian main power station application, becoming available from about 2030. It has a capacity close to the average capacity of each of the approximately 60 existing generators. Remarkably, Australia alone in the world bans nuclear power generation and this unique, outdated ‘Nuclear Ban’ legislation can be perceived as being readily repealed. If Rolls Royce SMRs can be used to incrementally replace the existing steam raising plants of the main Australian power stations at the rate of just four SMR conversions per year from 2030, it would be possible to provide zero carbon dioxide emissions from Australian electricity supply to the grid by 2050. It must be noted that any undertaking to achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 applies only to the existing system electric power generation and excludes all other human-generated carbon dioxide activities, particularly agriculture and transport industries. The present moderate proportion of the power generating market occupied by wind and solar can compete unsubsidised on merit alone against this nuclear SMR adaption scheme. Therefore, from 2030, this solution can produce “Zero CO2 emission from power generation by 2050”. If this concept was developed and implemented, it is considered that a significant step will have been taken toward avoiding the present potentially catastrophic fiscal disaster from the Covid Relief Package debt and make a paradigm shift into a new and better era of energy and environmental policy in Australia, enabling safe, affordable, reliable power for the rebuilding of Australian manufacturing industry.

Time to reflect Many thanks to Gail McBurney and the Tewan-

tin Historical for the Pioneers Lunch in Tewantin and to Phil Jarratt for the story in the Noosa Today. Remember well that inaugural public meeting in Tewantin to form the Tewantin Historical with June Colley as president, Bev Menkens as secretary and myself as treasurer and all the information from George Pearce to get it all going. Also thanks to Jane Harding and Jonathan Richards for all the research done of Tewantin and district and history of ‘locals’. 1871 must have been a good year....Tewantin formed and my grandmother born in Gympie that year!

Wine whine Started reading Trev’s dissertation about Mr Jones & Me in today’s paper and was disappointed that he didn’t mention that it is no longer BYO, a favourable consideration for many local residents. He now appears to be happy paying $42 for a bottle of chardonnay that can be purchased for $14. John Eldridge Trevor Pepys responds: Thanks John. You’re the first reader to whinge about Trev not having his usual price of wine whinge. Duly noted and stand by.

Who is responsible? This is a very good question, from Ernest Wright (NT 27/8). I for one like to take responsibility for my own health and not to blame others for my condition, especially my respiratory health, unless the cause is related to air pollution. The problem arose more than 150 years ago when Louis Pasteur shot to stardom. His promotion of the Germ Theory of disease in the mid 1800s led that theory to gaining prominence, and then dominance, in western medicine as the preferred way of managing human health. During that time, the pendulum swung so

far that all bacteria were seen to be bad and needed to be destroyed. That pendulum is now on its way back and people are starting to take account of other observations that may counter this 150-year-old view. At the time of Pasteur’s promotion of the Germ Theory, he had an intense rivalry with a French research scientist, Antoine Bechamp, who was the proponent of an alternative theory called the Host Theory. Germ Theory proposes that disease is caused by particular micro-organisms (or germs) that are found outside the body and make their way into the body to cause the disease. Host Theory believes that disease arises from micro-organisms inside the body and that the internal condition of the body is the primary causal agent. Germ Theory also proposes that every disease is associated with a particular micro-organism, while Host Theory believes that micro-organisms become pathogenic as the health of the host organism (human) deteriorates. In this theory, micro-organisms are not the cause of the disease but a symptom of the imbalance. So given that long history, I would expect people to want a vaccination and wear a mask, now there is a growing number of scientists, doctors and microbiologists who are revolutionising the way we think of viruses in our lives. They do not believe that they should be destroyed, but rather that we need to embrace them. These modern revolutionary medical voices propose that our micro-organisms that live inside us and on us play a critical role in our survival and adaptation, and that their genetic material is essential in delivering the messages that our biology requires. This is inspiring for humanity! Humans are part of the joyous dance of life, viruses and bacteria are our dance partners, and without them we will trip on our own two feet and fall flat on our collective faces.

Council news round up Well, in what has been a huge lead up for our community and Council, myself and senior Council staff met with the operators of the Kin Kin quarry, Cordwell Resources and their representatives. We were able to advise the latest meeting of the Kin Kin Roundtable that the talks considered possible options to prevent the matter going to the Planning and Environment Court. This ‘without prejudice’ meeting is the first time Council and the quarry operator have been able to arrange a suitable time to hold such talks with legal representation, due to Covid restrictions and lockdowns. The discussions must remain confidential to allow Council and the operator to consider options prior to any proceedings being lodged. We’ve begun a nation-wide search to fill the role of chief executive officer at Council. As many of you know, our current CEO Brett de Chastel has announced his retirement and will step down in November 2021. Brisbane recruitment firm Davidson Recruitment is overseeing the recruitment process. We are looking for an experienced, inspirational leader who can work collaboratively with councillors to deliver our strategic vision. We will be finalising a recruitment panel shortly, and the final appointment will be a decision of the full Council. As Covid-19 continues to impact our community and our businesses, Council has announced financial relief measures to help residents and businesses impacted by the recent lockdown. We’ve extended the rates’ discount period to 17 September 2021 and rates payments can even be deferred to the end of the year, by arrangement. Council is also deferring the payment of outstanding Health License renewals and Footpath Dining permits until 31 December 2021. For the full list of relief measures, see our website. It’s been an incredibly busy year for Council, made that much more challenging by Covid-19. The CEO’s Year in Review report makes for positive reading. Some highlights include: 71,227 customer service enquiries handled, 18,228 visits to our libraries, 1,608,228 bins emptied, and 11.88km or roads re-surfaced. Important achievements also include the Queensland Audit Office giving Council another clean bill of health, issuing an unmodified audit opinion, and the Noosa River catchment maintaining its A-rating in the 2020 Healthy Land and Water Report Card, with the river also scoring a five-star economic and social benefit rating. We adopted the Noosa Bushland Reserve Strategic Management Plan and the Noosa Bushland Reserve Strategic Fire Management Plan, both of which will outline how we will

better manage our bushland reserves and, in particular, how we will manage fire risk in our council bushland reserves. We’ve also worked closely with local businesses through the Business Roundtable to provide targeted economic development support through the Covid-19 pandemic and we’ve signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of the Sunshine Coast to see more collaboration on projects, joint research and to enable work experience opportunities for university students. Securing over $23 million in funding commitments from the State and Federal governments for our region and to support our community, our infrastructure budget at $51 million is the largest it’s ever been. The Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee has been established in line with Maritime Safety Queensland to advise on priorities for our Noosa River and we’ve introduced a new online portal called Open Council to make our Council more transparent. Above are just some highlights, but it’s fair to say there’s lots going on with much more to do over the coming months to support our community and our residents, but all councillors and council staff are well and truly up to the challenge. Finally, to end on a high note, the inaugural Mingle with the Mayor Ball was held Saturday evening at the Sofitel Noosa in support of the charity Sunny Kids to raise awareness and funds for their organisation to assist victims of domestic violence in our shire. With a final count still pending, we have raised close to $300,000 dollars for this remarkable organisation, making the night a huge success. Over $222,000 was taken in live auction items during the event with thousands more to come in via donations and silent auction items. They say it takes a village and, indeed, it does. This phenomenal result could not have been made possible without the ‘Ball Team of Action’ led by the legend that is Josanne Falla and so many wonderful women in our community. As I said, Noosa is at its best when it gets behind its own. Saturday night was testament to that. Our sponsors and our local businesses all dug deep and donated so generously, and our speakers were courageous and strong. As the famous lyrics of Johnny Farnham’s legendary song go: ‘This time, we know we all can stand together: with the power to be powerful, believing we can make it better. We’re not gonna sit in silence; we’re not gonna live in fear; make a noise and make it clear’. Our community stood up and on Saturday night, we made that noise!! Never been prouder. Until next month, stay safe, Clare

Noosa prepares for a safer summer With the weather soon to warm up, it’s a reminder that August is the official start of the upcoming bushfire and storm season. Are you ready? We’ve all experienced how quickly weather events can develop and threaten homes and lives, so Noosa Council is working closely with hinterland communities to raise awareness of the need to be prepared. In partnership with Pomona Community House, council is offering residents in the hinterland communities information sessions to assist with disaster preparedness and building resilience leading into the bushfire and storm season. Understanding local disaster risks is vital for our communities. The sessions will provide an opportunity for the hinterland residents to talk to emergency services personally. The first of these is a Bushfire Information Night on Tuesday 7 September from 5.308.30pm at Cooran Hall. Topics covered will

range from how to prepare your property for a bushfire, making an evacuation plan, and plant and animal responses to fire. There will also be practical advice available from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, Biodiversity Consortium and Noosa Council. Attendees are requested to register for this information night by contacting Pomona Community House on 5485 2427. Mayor Clare Stewart said disaster preparedness was a community effort which required everyone to do their part. “We can all help protect our communities by taking responsibility for being prepared and supporting our neighbours to do the same. Inaction puts homes, neighbours and our emergency services workers at risk but if we all have a plan in place, it helps when natural disasters strike,” she said. Additional disaster and hazard preparedness information days will be held on: September 10 and 11 - at the Noosa Show

(Pomona Showgrounds) from 9am-4pm. September 18 - at IGA Pomona from 9am4pm. September 24 - at The Lawson Shed, Pomona from 9-11.30am October 1 - at Ridgewood Hall from 10am1pm. All events are family-friendly, free and subject to Covid-19 and QLD Health event guidelines and are funded by Cat C Bushfire Recovery/Resilience funding. For more information on all activities call Pomona Community House on 5485 2427. Noosa Council’s Resilience Officer, Cheryl Pattison said community workshops were well attended last year and communities embraced the opportunity to engage with the emergency services volunteers and staff. “Our community spirit is strong at the best of times, but it shines brightest with extreme weather events and we help each other out,“ she said.

Those marvellous Monks By Phil Jarratt When you write a history of the relatively small town you live in, as I have just done, it is inevitable, no matter how much research you do, that something or someone will slip through the cracks. In the couple of months since the completion of Place Of Shadows, several such small failings have been pointed out, but the epic fail I can’t forgive myself for is that I didn’t fully appreciate the importance of the creative legacy of the Monks family. Eight generations of this pioneer family have come into the world since John Monks migrated from England in the 1850s, and six of them have built their lives around Gympie and Noosa. There are a surprising number of pioneer families who are still active in Noosa, but even by their standards, the Monks lineage is impressive, and few families have left their stamp so comprehensively across generations. The key figure in this is the photographer John George (JG) Monks who documented Noosa from the late years of the 19th century through to the middle years of the 20th, from lantern slides to impressive black and white film prints, but whose work over time has been disguised through much of it being credited to Griffith Studios and other agencies. In fact JG, known as George, was present at every triumph, celebration, fire or flood that shaped the Noosa story over more than 50 years, and many of his pictures, such as the breast-plated portrait of King Tommy outside the Royal Mail Hotel, or the automobiles lined up for the opening of the TM Burke road and bridges linking the river towns in 1929, have become iconic Noosa images. Now, sisters Jeniffer Petty and Sharyn Rieger, granddaughters of JG Monks, daughters of historian Colin Monks, and descendants of triple-great uncle John Monks, are working to preserve JG’s photographic legacy and, through it, tell the family story, and what a story it is. While Jeniffer has been working on techniques to produce high quality scans from the rapidly deteriorating magic lantern slides, Sharyn has been researching the family tree and all the attendant documents. She says: “My research tells me that John Monks, my great-great-great grand-uncle, born in England in 1822, was actually in this part of the world before the Gympie goldrush began, making him one of the very earliest settlers. When the goldrush started he was one of the first to get up there, and he did quite well with his North Smithfield claim, although it almost claimed his life when the horse securing him to his whim bucket was spooked by a passing circus elephant, leaving him dangling above the mine shaft for some time before being rescued by his goldminer mates.” By 1870 John Monks had built a home in Gympie, squatted on a large water frontage on Weyba Creek (not far from where the Monks Bridge crosses it today) and paid for the passage of two nephews, George and Walter, who came out from England to help him on the properties. Although he didn’t officially get title to the Weyba land until 1901 (paying just under 40 quid for 319 acres), from 1880 John and his brood built a substantial 12-room homestead and adjacent cabin which was rented to visiting fishermen. On a cleared part of the acreage, the Monks established an extensive market garden and an orchard with enough grape vines to keep them in white wine. John Monks seemed to enjoy every minute of his long and busy life, dying in 1914 at the ripe old age of 92. Sharyn Rieger writes: “His obituary, along with our family stories, paint him as an adventurous spirit and larger than life colourful character, sporting a long white beard, teaching and playing the violin and piano accordion for everyone’s enjoyment, and to add a bit of humour to the long trips back and forth to Noosa, where he pushed his wheelbarrow to Gympie, loaded with salted and smoked Lake Weyba fish, to sell to the goldfield prospectors.” The ‘wheeling a barrow full of fish to Gympie’ story is also part of the folklore of Joe Keyser and his sons, neighbours and fishing buddies of John Monks, and the Monks girls hold it to be true. This writer is sceptical but, short of filling a barrow with fish and attempting to wheel it along Walter Hay’s overgrown “shortcut” track to prove a point, he will accept its veracity. 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 September, 2021

Bridge opening day at Tewantin, 1929. Sharyn continues: “[Uncle John] also had a curious mathematical and scientific mind, and a keen interest in the natural world, pouring over a bank of biological slide specimens which his British relatives shipped over to him, along with a then-state of the art microscope that we still have today. When the Weyba Homestead was established and guests started arriving, he and the family would hold ‘movie nights’ projecting these natural specimens and lantern slide photographs, (later taken by George and John George Monks), onto the walls of the homestead, using the family’s ‘Magic Lantern’, which we also still have today.” Although his son JG would become the star photographer of the family, George Monks was a keen chronicler of the natural environment and also brought with him from England the family tradition of painting, signwriting and decorating. Says Jeniffer: “John George was a great photographer, and all the men through the generations were good signwriters, so I think our generation of girls inherited an artistic streak. Sharyn is very creative and I’ve studied art. There’s something in our lineage pushing us into creative pursuits.” Although JG worked hard at the family signwriting business in Noosa and Gympie, he couldn’t disguise the fact that photography was his passion and where his true talent lay. Writes Sharyn: “John George used to take his cameras and bee light meter on many trips around Noosa, capturing the land and seascapes of the area. No doubt the family affinity with the land and aesthetic appreciation was

in his genes, as he developed an early passion for capturing light in his photography, aided by the latest photographic equipment shipped over from the Monks relatives in England. He became Noosa’s earliest photographer and from a young age seemed to have an eye for composition. While he probably didn’t realise it at the time, the many photographs he took during his lifetime have stood the test of time, preserving special moments of Noosa’s social and environmental history. “JG’s photographs are now housed in the John Oxley Library in Brisbane, the Monks photographic collection, and on the Noosa Heritage Website. His photography arguably became a vehicle for opening up the beauty of Noosa to others in those early times. I find it fascinating, and an honour to JG, to see that so many Noosa locals still have the same passion for capturing the early and evening light of the Noosa landscape and how much everyone still appreciates the beauty of it with their photographs today.” John George Monks died in 1960, before Sharyn was born, but Jeniffer remembers her grandfather as being very busy with the two threads of his career and a bit aloof with children. “He was a man’s man who loved a beer and a day at the races, but he was also a good father. Our dad adored him, to the extent that when JG died our father kept the ‘Monks & Son’ signs on the business premises at our then-home at Munna Point and at Gympie for many years.” Although he was a good student with an enquiring mind, JG’s son Colin Monks left school

early to go into the family business. Writes Sharyn: “My father’s final ‘test’ as an apprentice to his father, was to paint the perfectly proportioned letters on the roof of Laguna House, a huge task back then without any templates or scaffolding.” Then the war intervened. Stationed on Bougainville with the Australian army, Colin was approached by his sergeant to do something about the alarming number of Americans who were drowning in the surf. “You’re from Noosa,” the sergeant said, “Surely you can teach them about the waves.” So Col Monks started a surf club patrol from scratch, improvising belt, reel and everything else. After the war Col married Jessie (known as Millie) Tebutt from Gympie and began a family. Says Jeniffer: “Dad always put family first, he worked very hard to provide for us. He’d work from early morning until late at night, making his own paints. He was loving but a strict disciplinarian. I always remember him in relation to his love of the water. He’d shuck oysters and I would eat them, over and over again.” Sharyn: “He was passionate about Noosa and worked hard to preserve it. He wrote a 500-page submission to save Weyba from development. Because of his war service he was also passionate about the Tewantin-Noosa RSL where he worked as a welfare officer and became a life member.” Colin Monks published a colourful and entertaining local history called “Noosa: the way it was, the way it is now” in 2000. He died in 2015, just a month short of his 90th birthday.

Brad and Hannah Millard at their Beenham Valley Passions property near Wolvi. 247305

Grafting the passionfruit vines at Beenham Valley Passions. 247305

No pavlova is perfect without the sweet tang of fresh passionfruit. And growing the exotic fruit to perfection is Brad and Hannah Millard’s passion, as ERLE LEVEY discovers.

Passionfruit perfection It’s a fruit with attitude. A passionfruit vine is easy to grow yet the fruit is so complex. Hidden in a tough protective skin is an exotic pulp - sweet yet with a hint of bitterness. You are not prepared for the taste sensation that comes from such an everyday covering. And while we take the fruit for granted, there are so many variables in bringing them to premium quality. Speaking with Brad and Hannah Millard at their Beenham Valley Passions property near Wolvi, you get a glimpse into this amazing yet often over-looked delicacy. Passionfruit have a mind of their own. They are extremely sensitive to their growing conditions, most of all the climate. Overnight, large numbers decide to “drop’’ - that’s the sign they are ripe, not when they change colour. You don’t pick passionfruit - they pick you. Well, they pick the time. The farmers pick them up from the ground, not from the vine - when the fruit is heavy enough it will fall. Picking uphill is easier than downhill. You don’t have to bend as far. Something else I didn’t know was that if they are not collected by mid morning in Queensland’s sunny conditions the fruit will risk sunburn. Hannah is explaining the process to me as Brad and his team graft new vines for planting. Brad’s family has been on the farm for three generations since the 1940s. Originally his grandfather sent beans to Melbourne and the family continued with small cropping until 1999 when Brad and Hannah switched to passionfruit due to the favourable growing conditions. Beenham Valley have 10,000 vines planted on the 16ha property and each year about one-third are renewed to ensure consistency of cropping. The sweetheart variety has been chosen due to the sweet taste. Brad collects the tips of vines early of a morning to be grafted onto stronger root stock. It’s intricate work but necessary as supply was not consistent. Standing among the discarded leaves, Han36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 September, 2021

We chose passionfruit as small crops can be labour intensive and open to market fluctuations.” nah tells me the property suits the vines due to a consistent climate and rainfall. The valley attracts coastal breezes while being sheltered from westerly winds and has a low chance of frosts. Once the cut and splice of the graft is carried out the new vines are left in greenhouses resembling the humidity of Far North Queensland in summer. At Beenham Valley the vines are on easterlyfacing slopes and the rows run north-south. Everyone can relate to passionfruit vines ... there would always be one growing on Grand-

ma and Grandpa’s fence. Get it to catch the morning sun and dig some lamb’s fry in when you plant it, was Grandpa’s advice. And he had it next to the chook house to get the manure. It’s what Hannah tells me. Keep the roots consistently well watered and fertilised. The result is cropping averaging two good cartons of fruit a year from each vine. The fruit is sent to Melbourne and Brisbane markets, also to Queensland Yogurt and The Meadery at Pomona. Extra fruit is sold at markets, as well as

Just as you should never judge a book by its cover ... the sweet, decadent insides of a passionfruit should never be judged by their challenging exterior. They are such a part of everyday life yet we easily overlook them. No pavlova is perfect without the sweet tang of fresh passionfruit. Neither is a fruit salad. They are an essential part of many Australian family celebrations, breakfasts or fruit snacks. The list is virtually endless ... passionfruit soft drinks, tropical juices, home-made cordial and of course icecream or yogurt and on cereal.

Award-winners at the 2021 Gympie Show. 247305 Then there was Passion Pop which made its name in the late ’70s-early ’80s ... but let’s not go down that path at the moment. The exotic nature of passionfruit was adopted by the wine industry. Yet the name comes from an entirely different source. History shows that Catholic missionaries in 16th-century Brazil named the native fruit after the appearance of the flower from which it comes. The passion flower’s individual features were found to be symbolic of the crucifixion of Christ, or as known in biblical history, the Passion of the Christ. Passionfruit has health benefits such as a source of Vitamin C, as well as giving your body calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. While the skin is seemingly indestructible, two hail storms that hit one after the other in the early summer of 2018 ripped through the crop at Beenham Valley. Yet it had a way of strengthening Brad and Hannah’s resolve. There were two storms in two months with hail as big as the fruit. “We had just put a lot of baby vines in and that damaged them,’’ Hannah said. “We got some fruit off them. Then in December we got another storm. “I was more upset than Brad. “As a farmer he learns to cope with the seasons. “We know that we lost a lot of fruit that year.’’ Hannah said Brad’s parents have worked together their whole life, so they know the hard times as well as the good. She describes her and Brad’s natures as very complementary. “Brad is honest and has a good sense of humour. “I’m from the business side and, like farming, businesses have ups and downs. “If you can weather those, then it can be very fruitful. “We chose passionfruit as small crops can be labour intensive and open to market fluctuations. “We thought passionfruit would be easier ... you can pick them off the ground and the vines are in there a longer time.’’ Brad and Hannah went to school together. Not the same primary school but both were at Gympie High at the same time. “My grandmother Phyllis Little is a part of Little Haven,’’ Hannah said. “My parents had the 4WD centre in town and my brother and sister own that now. “We met after leaving school and went out together. “Brad is a very hard worker.’’ Hannah manages to balance teaching with helping out on farm, especially driving tractors and the like.

Hannah Millard of Beenham Valley Passions at the Cooloola Farm Trail market weekend. 247305 Covid-19 has taught people to be more aware of locally grown produce, she said. “Since Covid a lot ask if we sell locally. “That would mean selling at the gate but there is not a lot of drive-by traffic. “But we take extras into town. “The focus is on quality but in summer there is quantity as well. “In winter there is not the same amount of fruit but in summer we can have surplus.’’ Brad loves that every season is different and that makes growing passionfruit a challenge. Even after more than 20 years he is still keen to learn more. Field days are a way of learning from others and there is always something to learn.

NEWS

Growing passionfruit isn’t for the fainthearted as he has had broken wires to contend with, and full moons at Christmas time when the pick is so heavy. “The season is from mid-November through to September,’’ Brad said. “You just need enough people when the season hits ... sometimes in summer it can be very hectic. “You need enough people to have them off the ground by nine to 10 o’clock. “There’s no choice to do longer days. If they’re on the ground, they have to come off.’’ As Hannah said, passionfruit are very unpredictable. “It’s where the cost comes in. They are harder to grow due to their unpredictability.’’

“They won’t wait,’’ Brad said. “They do what they want.’’ He also said that big fruit don’t like to ripen unless they are in full sun. They like to grow up over things. Which reminds me of an uncle who had a banana passionfruit vine growing over the packing shed at his orchard, and you would always find us climbing up there as kids. Then again, a colleague told me they had a vine big enough to have its own postcode. Brad and Hannah are keen involved in the Cooloola Farm Trail to show people what a working farm is like. A common misconception is that a wrinkly skin is not a sign of the fruit being ready to pick - it is past the ideal time. They need picking when it feels heavy, and full of pulp. The Australian passionfruit industry is trying to breed a lot of different varieties to suit the areas and what grows well in those situations. While they have a hard skin they are susceptible to mildew and bugs. “We use bugs for bugs,’’ Hannah said. “And hang fruit fly traps.’’ “It’s not just the fruit but the flower that can be bitten. “Brad still picks with the workers so he’s in the vines and seeing what can go wrong. “The risk is if you leave it to others you might not see what the problem is. “He very much keeps in touch. Walking through is a way of managing it much better than waiting until you’ve had a problem and trying to figure out how to deal with it. “Get to the problem before it becomes one. “He’s very good at spotting things, such as bugs on leaves, and very good at diagnosing problems. “From having different crops over the years he’s very good at understanding what the plants need, and solve the problems.’’ At Beenham Valley they mulch the vines after pruning, along with the cut grass and discarded fruit. It is put under the vines to preserve moisture, instead of leaving the ground bare. The decomposing leaves add nutrients and helps the soil regenerate. “If you slash and spray you are depleting the soil,’’ Hannah said. “Brad keeps in touch with what he’s doing. “It’s a much better way of managing, spotting things. “I’m not a fruit eater - apart from watermelons and strawberries. “But he loves to grow all types of fruit. “He’s very passionate about farming.’’ After spending the time talking with Brad and Hannah you realise that not only are their natures complementary but, just like the fruit, they are resilient. And that’s what you need in farming. Friday, 3 September, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 37

Student sets up non-profit to champion plastic-free A Noosa student has created a social enterprise with a mission to lift awareness and inspire action towards a plastic-free coast and ocean for her eighth grade project. Grace Good, a Noosa Pengari Steiner School student who created OceanGrace, said she started out wanting to do coastal photography due to her love for the ocean. “My mum suggested I make a 2022 calendar with my photos to sell at the markets where all the proceeds could go to non-profits supporting ocean and coastal health, starting with Plastic Free Noosa,“ Grace said. “Then I started thinking I could make other beach and nature-inspired objects to help raise fund, and I created OceanGrace as the brand name.” Noosa and Sunshine Coast locals have been quick to support the 14-year-old’s initiative. The Travelling Kimono founder Janelle Rawlins donated 10 oversized tote bags made from 100 per cent recycled linen, while Jenny Nunn from Breakaway Embroidery embroidered the bags with the OceanGrace logo at no charge, and Nikki Hann from BriSky Creations created stickers and metal straws to help Grace champion Plastic Free July. Anita Butler, the program manager for Plastic Free Noosa, showed early support for the project by welcoming Grace’s request to fundraise on their behalf and offering to promote the sale of calendars and other OceanGrace products. In late July, Grace proudly presented Plastic Free Noosa with her first $100 donation, proceeds from the sale of the first OceanGrace products, and became the newest ambassador for Plastic Free Noosa. Tourism Noosa’s head of Tourism Sustainability and Program Design Juanita Terry-Bloomfield said, “I am inspired by Grace’s enthusiasm and passion to help. She is a great role model to others and already other students from Steiner have come on board and are participating since Grace began the project. “It is so wonderful to see kids getting involved with the Plastic Free movement.” Grace is working to create a line of OceanGrace products to be completed by the end of year, including driftwood sculptures, shell necklaces, candles, calendars, metal straws, talking sticks, tote bags, caps and bamboo cups and is asking for donations of products that can be branded with the OceanGrace logo. Products will be sold through the Noosa Pengari Steiner School markets and direct via the OceanGrace website or Instagram, with 100 per cent of all proceeds going to Plastic Free Noosa and other non-profit initiatives such as Clean Up Australia and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. Grace intends to continue growing and building OceanGrace as a collaborative

It was a great tradition, and won us a lot of friends. (Luckily we had a contra back page ad deal with Eumundi Lager for endless quantities of giggle juice.) One of the regulars at those parties was a young interior designer named Di Henshall, who is now reviving the tradition with a launch party for every edition of her travel and lifestyle magazine, now called Di Henshall’s Inspired. To be fair, it’s only her second edition, but she won’t stop now. She’s even put the old team back together, with fellow partygoer and Noosa Blue designer Sean Parer of Parer and Co on board.

Noosa Lakes Resort Body Corporate have installed Noosa’s largest solar array.

Making money in the sun When the sun shines, you can see the smiles on owners at Noosa Lakes Resort Body Corporate, as they’ve just installed Noosa’s largest solar array. It is believed to be the biggest solar system in a strata titled development in Australia and the first project of its kind in Queensland. Two years in the planning, the 550kW system will produce 125 per cent of the resort’s energy needs making it carbon positive. Project leader Ian Wright said he loves that they are making money from sunshine. The innovative system owned by all lot owners, and funded by a strata loan, creates a revenue stream of 108 per cent of the resort’s historical electricity spend. “Considering the short payback period and long life of the high-quality components, the investment in sustainable solar energy really is a no-brainer,” Ian said.

“On the back of the success of this solar revenue project, I have already been approached by other body corporate committees to advise them on a possible solution for their properties.” Noosa Councillor Brian Stockwell, who until recently was the chair of the body corporate committee, believes the model is widely applicable across not just the tourism accommodation sector but many other strata titled properties in Noosa. “We provided our lot owners with a 10-year financial forecast for the sinking fund and consulted with them throughout the development of the concept,” Cr Stockwell said. “At the end of the day the project received 94 per cent support. It is projects like this that show how we can achieve the target of being a carbon neutral community by 2026.” Designed by local solar specialists Home

and Energy, the system tracks how much solar energy is used by individual lots and how much is exported to the grid. Each of these flows provide a revenue stream for the body corporate projected to achieve a return of more than 20 per cent in the first year. Clean Energy Council Accredited Solar Designer Gareth Duggan said, “This was a complex site with many different roof orientations and shading issues, but using 3-D modelling software to test varying technologies against each other we determined the optimal system.” Project leader Ian Wright acknowledged the success was in no small part a result of “working with a local company with the expertise, that not only aligned with our sustainability goals but with the resources and knowledge to go above and beyond your ‘run of the mill’ solar offering to provide a solution

that exceeded all others”. Resort manager Ryan Rae and his team have been working tirelessly to increase the resort’s sustainability credentials. Nestled between the shores of Lake Doonella and the Noosa River, the resort is installing timers and LEDs to reduce energy consumption, has a water harvesting scheme for its three large lagoon pools, and is embarking on a progressive landscaping refurbishment to replace exotics with local native species. According to Cr Stockwell, “The recent IPCC 6 Report and the declaration of a ‘Code Red for the Planet highlight how important it is to transition rapidly to a renewable energy economy. “This project proves that you can be both environmentally responsible and economically rational on the path to reducing our impact on the climate.”

Men’s shed opens up By Margaret Maccoll It was less about making money and more about letting people know what goes on at Noosa Men’s Shed when they held their annual sale day last Saturday, according to president Steve Phillips. And there was plenty to see and buy at the event with activities to showcase including woodwork, metal work, artworks, plants and a band that was formed at the mens shed and entertained on the day.

Steve said the group had about 130 members which swelled to about 200 with members from southern states who have been unable to visit because of Covid restrictions. Steve said with a background in management, his focus was on the administrative side of the organisation but at the upcoming AGM in a couple of weeks, he would be stepping aside to give someone else the opportunity to take charge. New members are also welcome.

Opera star Anne to sing with Chorale By Jim Fagan Opera Queensland mezzo soprano Anne Fulton is “super excited” to be singing with Noosa Chorale at its Majestic Mozart concerts at The J this month, particularly as the latest lockdown has caused the postponement of three other engagements. “I feel very lucky that it’s only been three as many of my friends have lost months and months of work that represent huge chunks of their livelihoods. “The arts has really been decimated by the pandemic. This is the reason that performances like these ones with the Noosa Chorale are so special.” Anne will join three other opera singers soprano Judit Molnar, tenor Greg Massingham, bass Mark Jowett and the Chorale in performing Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor as well as arias and ensembles from Mozart operas. “The Mozart Requiem is an iconic choral work and has some of the most sublime music ever written for the voice. I always enjoy performing it and, in particular, singing the solo ensembles movements with the other three soloists,” Anne told Noosa Today. Asked why she decided to become a professional musician, Anne said, “I guess music was always part of who I am. It’s hard to explain but it’s in my soul. I have been singing since I was two (so my mum tells me). I have always loved getting up on stage and singing so to be to still be doing this is such a blessing. “I have been singing for over 25 years now. I have sung in over 100 productions with Opera Queensland.”

Anne made her debut with Opera Queensland singing the role of Kate Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, and Giovanna in Rigoletto. She has also covered several principal roles. Other roles with the company include Olga in The Merry Widow, Wowkle in La Fanciulla del West. She has also been an ensemble member and soloist for Bach’s St Matthew Passion and Brisbane Festival’s Opera on the Riverstage with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. Asked if there were any singers who may have influenced her musically, Anne said: “I love all genres of music but I guess in terms of classical singers the wonderful American mezzo soprano Joyce DiDonato is a favourite of mine. “Her technique is wonderful and she is such positive and generous performer.” Majestic Mozart, The J Theatre, Friday 17 September at 7pm and Saturday 18 September at 2pm.

Orchids on display.

The largest national survey of local news audiences in Australia reveals the passion people have for their local newspaper and has found they want a much bigger say about its future The survey asked almost 4200 Australian country press newspaper readers in rural, regional and outer suburban areas about the role of local newspapers within their communities A number of results reveal…

Readers overwhelmingly view a printed copy of their newspaper as an essential service for the community There is continued strong demand (and passion) for the printed product in rural and regional Australia Readers are 2.6 times more likely to read their local newspaper in print than in a digital format Readers are FIVE times more likely to go directly to a local news website rather than Google or facebook and 10 times more likely than a council website The majority of audiences prefer a printed newspaper with younger generations also part of this trend 59% of readers believe the role of a local newspaper is to act as a community hub 52% of readers have read the same local newspaper between 11 years and 30+ years

Floating Land to return Floating Land Biennale returns to Noosa this October. This year, Australia’s premier art-in-the-environment project draws on Noosa’s international reputation as a community and destination focused on caring for, and engaging with, the natural environment. The 16-day event will feature 30 curated projects across two key sites – Boreen Point and the Park Road Boardwalk at Noosa Heads. Installed along the foreshore of Queensland’s natural saltwater lake, Lake Cootharaba, a trail of contemporary art pieces will guide visitors on a journey of quiet reflection. While the projects presented this year will bear a light touch and fleeting presence in the natural environment, Noosa Regional Gallery director and Biennale curator Michael Brennan said their brief occupation is intended to thoughtfully provoke the audience. “Disarming attendees with humour, Fabrizio Biviano’s Black Swan Theory resonates on a number of levels,“ he said. “The artist’s embrace of that distinctively Australian garden ornament – the tyre swan – appears to take joy in the kitsch. An element of dark irony, however, is that car tyres account for the second largest source of micro-plastics polluting the world’s oceans and waterways.“ “The title of the work,” Mr Brennan continued, “might be seen to apply to both our inaction on climate change, or even the spe-

Fabrizio Biviano, Black Swan Theory 2021. cific onset of the current global pandemic. The Black Swan Theory refers to a metaphor that describes an event that both comes as a surprise and has a substantial effect, yet is typically and inappropriately rationalised afterwards, with the benefit of hindsight.” Using art to provide an opportunity for audiences to engage in conversation about

Picture: JENNIFER DEAN the environment, Floating Land: at the edge of ideas will include an abundance of site-responsive projects, tours, artist-led workshops, symposium, performances and unique opportunities for visitors. Floating Land Biennale has a significant history at the picturesque Boreen Point. After the resounding success in 2019 of

Floating Land’s presence at Noosa National Park, the event is poised once again to present a unique opportunity for visitors to ‘happen’ upon art while exploring the stunning beach landscapes viewed from along Noosa’s acclaimed Park Road Boardwalk. “Weaving amongst the trees, the works presented will borrow potency from their location, collaborating with the environment to add other layers of meaning to this picturesque space,” Mr Brennan said. “Artist Debbie Symons’s acclaimed installation Sing, for example, features a collection of intricate, hand-woven pendant bird nests delicately suspended from the trees, playing prerecorded bird songs of birds whose native environment is being lost exponentially through deforestation. “Like many of this year’s exhibits, Sing explores emotions of wonder and loss, initiating our reflection of the intricate lives of our wildlife, and the rich biodiversity they are part of.” Featuring local, national and international artists at varying stages of their professional careers, Floating Land: at the edge of ideas will run from 9 to 24 October. For full details of the artistic program and associated events, visit floatingland.org.au Floating Land: at the edge of ideas will launch with a free community event at Boreen Point on Saturday 9 October, from 3 to 6pm. All welcome.

Sunshine Coast Art Prize Exhibition gets people talking What do a single roll of toilet paper, Einstein, gym socks and a stand-up comedian have in common? They all feature among the finalist works in the 2021 Sunshine Coast Art Prize exhibition at Caloundra Regional Gallery. The exhibition is on show 27 August to 10 October and features 40 finalist artworks, all vying for the attention of our voting public and guest judge Renai Grace, director/chief executive officer of the Museum of Brisbane. Local finalists include Trevor Purvis from Cooroy and Jennifer Herd from Eumundi. Sunshine Coast Art Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said each year we were attracting more entries from across Australia. “The inclusion of so many national artists in the Sunshine Coast Art Prize exhibition makes this a great showcase of art of the moment as well as a testament to our Art Prize’s standing on the Australian stage,” Cr Baberowski said. “I’m also more than pleased to see that six of the 40 finalists were from the Sunshine Coast, a reflection of the creative talent of our own region” Cr Baberowski said. “These are remarkably challenging times and I find it fascinating how this exhibition provides an insight into the feeling of the creative community at this time. “Years from now, I wonder if we looked

had been an incredible response to the nationwide call for entries. “The range of artworks demonstrates the breadth of contemporary 2D art in Australia right now, and it is particularly exciting to see

some really significant contemporary First Nations works in the finalist selection. “This year’s submissions are of an exceptional standard in line with the prominence of the Sunshine Coast Art Prize as the flagship art prize for our region,” Ms Duke said. “From exploring fragility through toilet paper to portraits captured by a stand-up comedian, this exhibition will challenge, inspire and start conversations. “I encourage everyone to view the exhibition and vote for their favourite piece in the People’s Choice category. For our national audience who may unfortunately be unable to travel due to border restrictions, the artworks can be enjoyed on our website and online voting is open Australia-wide.” Christine Druitt-Preston, winner of last year’s People’s Choice Prize, described it as an honour to have her work chosen by the voting public. “In these Covid-19 times, visiting a gallery - in person or remotely online - takes commitment and a degree of dedication. I know all the artists involved really appreciate it,” Ms Druitt-Preston said. Winners will be announced on 23 September, with the event livestreamed on Caloundra Regional Gallery’s Facebook page. The major prizewinning artwork will become part of the Sunshine Coast Art Collection.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

A dinner with The King Trevor Pepys reviews GT’s Bar and Restaurant This was a spur of the moment thing. Having been sent out on a late afternoon supplies run, Trev was cycling along Gympie Terrace when he espied the unthinkable. On the terrace at GT’s Bar and Restaurant some uncouth piece of riffraff was leaning on the Elvis statue, slopping beer onto his gold lame jacket while his girl took a photo of this heresy. You don’t lean on The King, and Trev quickly geared down, spun the e-bike around and climbed the stairs to tell him so, and came out with a dinner reservation for two in 30 minutes. Look, Elvis and Trev were not particularly close, although I did advise him to wear bigger trunks during the Blue Hawaii phase, but he is the true father of white trash rock and roll, and although his kitsch memorial long predates the GT’s mob, and several times Elvis has indeed left the building, souvenired by tourists or stashed in a storage shed somewhere, only to mysteriously return to his riverside lookout, he deserves a bit of respect. And the GT’s founders seem to be providing that, so there’s a bonus point before we even start. Trev seems to remember GT’s starting off a few years ago as more of a party house, the joint venture of a bunch of mates who enjoyed letting their hair down as the sun disappeared in a blaze of colour even more than their customers did. On several occasions when Trev wandered up the steps for sundowner or three he had the distinct impression he was gatecrashing a private party, but all of that has now been replaced by a friendly but highly professional approach from a trimmed-down management team. Dismounting elegantly from her side-saddle position, the missus scampered up the steps and claimed a table while Trev locked the bike to a lamp post. By the time he joined her, she was already halfway through a bottle of Wildflower Pinot Grigio ($32), a good value gargle from Margaret River, so well done on the choice, but I had to dock her pocket money for starting without me. Looking around the neighbouring tables, we noticed the starters were rather large, so we decided to focus on them, thereby enabling Trev to order another Wildflower. A platter of Bitterballen ($12) got us going, followed by the pork belly ($19) kingfish ceviche ($23) and a side of shoestring fries ($9). This might not sound like much for two grown people, but, as The King used to say as he downed another bowl of grits, oh boy. For those of you who have never snacked on bar food in Amsterdam, bitterballen is a tasty crumbed and deep-fried ball of savoury ragout and mustard. Wicked but good. Could have done with a bit more zest, but there

were plenty of them and they all disappeared. Likewise the ceviche was a giant stack of fish, bulked out by tomato, onion and avocado. Filling, but a little on the bland side, as ceviche should never be. The star of the evening was the pork belly, slow roasted just so with a Hervey Bay scallop or two for a bonus, and rounded out with apple, coriander and jus. And the fries were a good accompaniment.

The verdict: Hard to beat for the sunset, but you could say that about a dozen places along Gympie Terrace. GT’s is fun, friendly and offers good value if you order wisely. The tucker didn’t send Trev into paroxysms of glee, but it was pretty good and certainly filled the hole. And it’s always good to pay homage to The King.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Nannygai, snapper and pearl perch from a recent Trekka 2 charter to Double Island Point.

Catch the end of winter Well that’s it folks! End of winter is here and it really feels like it’s having one last go. As I write the morning temps are 7C and the skies are clear with light winds. To me, this screams snapper, especially with 2-3 foot of clean surf hitting the coast. The water clarity has been crystal clear and the best fishing appears to be in the deeper waters around the Banks and the Hards if looking for a big red. In close, Sunshine has been holding very fat flathead which comes as a surprise. These bigger females have been reported as being very fat so if you do find one please consider returning them as we near their breeding cycle. Other regular catches of cobia, sweetlip, pearl perch and cod continue as do the occasional school mackerel. Schoolies have been on the bottom taking soft plastics, chrome slugs and even pilchards on gang hooks. If looking for a great slug, then the TT Hard core is short and fat with great flash. North Reef features smaller mid 40-50cm

snapper, tuskies, pearlies, cobia and a few various cod and mid water cobia. Always have a pilchard floater out this time of year as everything will take one. Currently the pilchards are fat and very clean and perfect for 4/0-5/0 hooks sizes. The up and coming neap tides should see some great times to run a burley trail for those who sit on anchor. Be sure to pick up some tuna oil as this is the basis for any good burley mix. Surf fishing has been picking up with a few good sized tailor getting caught along the gutters. The swell has possibly brought them in on the hunt along with the cold snap. One method to try is casting long slim hard body lures into the surf and wind and twitch them back with a medium fast pace for the bite. The new Berkley Pro Tech jerk 90 will also suit big flathead and trevally too. The Noosa River still runs super clear and flathead continue to dominate most daytime catches. These fish tend to be around the 3055cm mark making them a great target. If you

fish. Have sounders running in down scan and side scan, keep leaders as light as you dare and work edges exposed to the sunlight. Small weighted plastics like ZMan Slim Swimz on 3/8th jigheads worked through schools often get the bites. For fish holding tight into structure a small jerk bait will often tempt an edge bite. Look at small Zerek Tango shads and even the Berkley Pro Tech bender in the smallest size. These often get hit on long pauses if you suspect there is a surface bit happening. It won’t be long so get your casting accuracy up in preparation for the warmer weather just around the corner.

have yet to try soft plastics the humble flatty is a great first target. Be sure to look at plastics with inbuilt action like Powerbait grubs or Nemisis. Both of these are proven performers and when used with a fluorocarbon leader you will soon find the bites will come. Stay around the mouth, the rock wall and the dog beach on the turn of the tide for success. Trevally are still about and as things start to warm up you can expect to see them exploding on the surface first thing in the mornings before the boat traffic builds up. Both GT and big eyes will hit surface lures as well as tailor. This makes the next few weeks a great time to throw a few lures about. Try around Noosa Sound, Woods Bay and Munna Bridge. The ever popular MMD Splash Prawn is a great all round lure that works very well if you fish the flats for whiting. The freshwater scene is still very much hit and miss. One day reports are amazing and the next the bite is quiet again. It is best to try everything in your power to locate the

Pin High Peter Owen

Golf is in Peter’s blood By Peter Owen Golf is in Peter Zipf’s blood; a part of his DNA. His earliest memories are of a golf course, and he’s been playing the game for almost his entire life. Peter’s mother was born on a family-owned golf course in Melbourne. And when he was a toddler, his parents would take him to the Mundubbera golf course, place him in a playpen with the rest of the young kids, and go and play 18 holes. “My earliest memories are of the Mundubbera golf course,” Peter says. “I began caddying there when I was eight, and I started playing as soon as I could.” Readers may be familiar with the name. The Zipf family has operated successful IGA supermarkets in Cooroy and Pomona for the past 20 years. And for much of that time Peter has been playing golf at Noosa, where he is a longstanding member. But it wasn’t until last week that he won his first Noosa Tuesday Club competition – and for Peter it’s a significant milestone. “I’ve had seconds and thirds, and I’ve been part of Ambrose teams that have won,” he said. “But this is the first time I’ve won an individual event.” Peter, a nine-handicapper, shot four-overpar 76 on Tuesday and tallied 41 stableford points. “I hit the ball long and straight and managed to make a few good putts,” he said. “That always makes the difference.” Peter, 63, puts his improved recent form down to a fitness regime which includes boxing training. “It’s improved my stamina and given me a lot more flexibility,” he said. Peter is from Mundubbera, in the North Burnett, where his family operated a citrus farm and grazed cattle. When they decided to sell up and move to the Sunshine Coast in 1996, they settled near Cooroy and bought the Four Square grocery store in the nearby town. That later became an IGA supermarket, and the Zipfs were away. The family still operates the Cooroy and Pomona IGA stores, and they still play golf. Peter is also a member at Cooroy and Mundubbera. Peter and his son Anthony are strong supporters of the Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Golf Tour and sponsor the organisation’s annual corporate golf day. Coast star tackles the best in Europe Victoria Fricot, the former outstanding Peregian junior with dreams of becoming a world golfing star, earned a start last week in the rich Skafto Open on the Ladies European Tour, but found the wet and windy weather too much of an obstacle. Victoria, 26, turned professional and headed for Europe after practising and playing for more than a year at Noosa Springs where she was a resort ambassador. A former student at Peregian Beach College, Victoria had won three club championships at Peregian before she was 17 and was ranked one of the country’s leading amateurs. Though she failed to make the 36-hole cut at the Skafto Open – she shot rounds of 79 and 78 – Victoria put the exercise down to experience. She’s made five appearances on the Ladies European Tour this year, one of her highlights being an Aramco Team Series event in England last month, in which she was a member of Minjee Lee’s Australian squad. Her teammates were Steph Kyriacou and Whitney Hillier. While golf is very much Victoria’s priority, she has more than one string to her bow. She has a business degree, has been modelling since she was 17, is a graduate of the Sunshine Coast business mentoring program Generation Innovation Challenge, and is planning to become more involved in media work.

Good chipping is key TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER PGA touring professionals hit about 12 to 13 greens in regulation each round, but the average club golfer hits considerably fewer. So a good chip will go a long way to salvaging a par. The most common fault is a duffed shot where the club digs into the ground and the ball travels only a few metres. This is a result of leading too much with the top hand through impact. The stronger hand of many golfers is the bottom hand and I’m a great believer in working with your strength and not your weakness. So a great drill is to use only your bottom hand when practising pitches and chips. It will improve so many facets of your chipping, such as releasing the club head, distance control and body rotation.

Peter Zipf – a golfer for as long as he can remember. Burns back on winners list Prolific Yandina Creek veteran Brad Burns has added the Wynnum Legends Pro-Am title to his long list of victories, adding to pro-am tournaments he collected at Wynnum in 2014 and 2018. Burns, who has won the Legends Tour Order of Merit a record four times, shot fiveunder 65 to win this year’s event from David Hando, who had a hole-in-one at the 156m par three ninth hole. It was the first win this season for Burns, who jetted to the US for the US Senior PGA Championship earlier in the year. Noosa’s Simon Tooman was tied 35th after shooting 78, while Mark Tickle had 80 for tied 44th. The Legends Tour then moved to North Queensland, where Burns shot two-under 70 to be tied third in the Cairns Legends Pro-Am, two strokes behind the winner, Victorian Tim Elliott. Play Noosa Springs for $79 It’s an opportunity to test your game against quality opposition and to play one of the region’s best golf courses at a heavily reduced cost. Noosa Springs annual Open is scheduled for Sunday, September 12, with all players teeing off at 8am. Green fees are usually $120, but with Club Car sponsorship, players in the Noosa Springs Open need pay only $79 ($29 for Noosa Springs members). The 18-hole stableford event is open to all golfers with a Golf Australia handicap and there are some excellent prizes to be won. Register online or call the Golf Shop on 5440 3325. And bookings are still being taken for the Noosa Springs Skins event on Wednesday, September 8. It’s a fun, social competition with teams in the running to win four bottles of wine on each hole. If anybody aces the par three 4th hole they will win a Noosa Springs corporate membership worth $2250. The cost, which includes lunch and postgame nibbles is $85 ($39 for members).

The last few weeks have been quiet at Noosa Croquet Club as Covid restrictions have hampered play. There has been no inter-club competition and numbers at social play have been restricted and generally not well-attended. No-one wants to play while wearing a mask! This is now changing, and we hope it remains so. Our inter-club competition has recommenced. On 23 August our Shield team played Headland-Buderim at the Noosa courts and went down 6 - 4. This should leave Headland on top of the ladder with Noosa second. Sheila Moncrieff and Richard Bawden won two out of their three games. On Monday 30 August the Pennant team played Caloundra at Noosa, and went down vey narrowly - games were tied after the singles and doubles, and a countback on hoops showed that Caloundra had won by just one hoop - a very exciting finish. Galina Makarova and John Dark won all their games, but just by not quite enough! On the same day the Plate team played Caloundra at the Caloundra courts and this was a different story - the Noosa team won eight games to two. Susie Locke and Lorry Ryan won all their three games, and Lorry’s handicap was cut. This team remains on top of their ladder. The club championships are also now commencing. The first stages of the Division 2 Golf Championship was played on Saturday 28 August and there will be a second round on Saturday 4 September. The Division 3 Championships, where we expect keen rivalry amongst our newer players, will commence on Saturday 18 September and should run for another two weeks following that. The club is having its annual finance meeting in September, and generally the financial position is sound and membership is good. The club is holding its monthly Come and Try Day on Sunday 5 September at its grounds at 9 Seashell Place Noosa Waters commencing about 8.15 am. Anyone interested, come and talk to us. Please wear flat-soled shoes and a hat. Tuition is available for free. For more information ring Niven Gugich on 0428 799 987. Anyone interested in finding out more about croquet and how the modern sport is played, please come down to the lub grounds at any time, or contact the club or Niven. We welcome new members and with the spring coming and Covid restrictions easing, this is a perfect way to relax and yet still be part of a competitive sporting experience.

Straight for the wicket.

The start of spring marked the launch in Pomona of the Noosa Ultra-Trail, a trail running and active lifestyle festival.

Noosa Ultra-Trail event puts Hinterland on map The start of Spring marked the launch in Pomona of the Noosa Ultra-Trail, a trail running and active lifestyle festival. The event has been conceived following recommendations in a report commissioned by Tourism Noosa concerning the Noosa Trail Network Masterplan which was released in April 2020. Promoter of the Noosa Ultra-Trail festival, Nick Stewart said he was encouraged by the report’s findings and by the level of support he received from Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa in giving the Hinterland greater recognition within the Noosa Shire. “There are many stakeholders in this project from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa, the Hinterland towns, the trail running community and of course the local residents,“ he said. “We are all passionate and knowledgeable about the importance of conservation and sustainability in the parks and forests in our Shire and this event will be a showcase for the region.” The Noosa Ultra-Trail will be held from

23 - 27 March with the running events to be held on Saturday 26. There will be six different distance options ranging from 15km to 100km with events in the morning and afternoon. As part of the active lifestyle festival, there will be opportunities for visitors to enjoy the Noosa lifestyle with organised activities including yoga, river cruises, ocean swim, sunrise and sunset treks, a women’s luncheon and a few casual runs. Four national identities have been secured as event ambassadors including Australian representative trail runner Kellie Emmerson, three time Ironman world champion Craig ‘Crowie’ Alexander, international yoga and wellness practitioner Kat Harding and celebrity chef and trail runner Matt Golinksi. Significantly the Noosa Ultra-Trail will be a qualifying event for the new UltraTrail Mont Blanc (UTMB) World Series. The weeklong UTMB event in Chamonix, France attracts over 10,000 runners annually from all over the world. For more details go to noosaultra.trail. com.au

Pre-season successes By Randall Woodley The pre-season cricket matches played last Saturday at Read Park gave 15 players a chance to show their form before the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association season proper commences on Saturday 11 September. The Tewantin-Noosa Thunder (TNT) First Graders took on the Surfers Paradise Club, captained by ex-international player, Nathan Reardon. They played two T20 matches and the locals won both against the visitors. Game one: TNT was sent into bat and things looked disastrous after three overs with the score at 3 for 7. The Gold Coast opening bowlers were lively and three sharp ,close in catches had the early batsmen in trouble. However, new player, ex-Gympie batsman, Lewis Waugh steadied the ship and held the innings together. He combined with Jake Dennien (20) and when he was eventually out for 34, Dom Taylor took over, hammering eight fours in his 43 not out. The TNT boys finished their 20 overs on 7 for 119, well short of the planned target score. When Surfers Paradise opened their batting, what happened mirrored the TNT’s start to their innings. The visitors lost three early wickets, two to Scott Aufderheide and the other to new player, ex-international bowler, Ben Laughlin. Laughlin took a wicket for the club with his second ball, a one-handed screamer, caught and bowled. The visitors struggled all through their innings and finished on 9 for 83 after their 20 overs. Aufderheide took 3-19, Laughlin 3-5 and Jake Dennien 2-13, off their allotted four overs each. Game two: This time the visitors, Surfers Paradise batted first and posted a score of 125 with Laughlin and youngster Tom Stewart taking two wickets each. Batting late in the day club stalwart, Chris Wright got the team off to a flyer, posting 46 with shots all around the field. With a solid start, the TNT batsman took the opportunity to practice their batting and after the 20 overs, the team had put on 153 runs for the loss of only four wickets. Blake Steel, Andrew Kratzmann and Jarrod Officer all put 30-plus runs on the board. This was a really good day to start the season off and games were played in great spirits with the Surfers boys. There were star sightings everywhere with

It’s a catch. three former Australian players - Reardon, Laughlin and Craig McDermott (watching his youngest son bowl) there all day and our own former first-class player Bob McGhee spending a fair bit of time at the match. The First Graders take on Glasshouse this Thursday night (2 September) at 6pm under lights in the last trial game before fixtures commence on 11 September. It would be great to see good numbers down for training and then stay to watch the locals take on the strong mountain team. TNT will have a full-strength team out for the game so another chance to see Ben, Scott and Tommy Stewart let a few rip!

Outrigger members on Noosa River.

Flowers offered as part of the ceremony.

New outriggers given traditional ceremony.

Blessing for outriggers By Ron Lane It was 9am on Saturday and some 60 members of the Noosa Outriggers Club gathered at Chaplin Park, Mill Street, Noosaville for a very special occasion. The purpose for the gathering was to take part in a traditional ceremony, one that has been handed down for centuries, by those masters of the outrigger - the Polynesians. And the very special occasion, was the Blessing the Canoe and Paddles Ceremony, a tradition that is not only known to the Noosa club, but also respected and upheld Two new canoes had been recently purchased, and in keeping with the age-old traditions, the blessing was a ceremony not to be missed. Club president Peter Williams welcomed members and visitors and took the time to explain the ceremony they were about to witness. For the club, it is going very strong: a membership of 220 up from last year’s 140. It now has some 19 craft available to the members, extending from OC1, (Outrigger Canoe 1 person) to OC4 then some OC6. With the age of members stretching from 10- 89 and craft now available Monday to Sunday (with coaches), the club has a lot to offer. The canoes, known as the Malolo OC6 Unlimited, were purchased at a cost of $29,000 each and the design is such that it is able to be used in rough seas as well as the flat: it has a crew of six and is 13.4 mts in length and weighs 65.7kg. Each craft had a name - one being called the Wantima and the other Kaile’a. The first name is an Aboriginal word taken from the Gubbi Gubbi people, and the second from the Polynesian dialect. When we consider that a canoe such as the outrigger is centuries old and a major part of the history of the island people, it is only natural that many traditions have developed and now play a major role in the life of the craft. The club president explained some of these proud traditions: when on land should always be left facing the water, never sit on them or step over them, never drag them across ground and above all never stand up when on water. That is considered as a sign of disrespect to fellow crewmen. What follows is the text of the morning’s blessing. With a spirit of heart and commitment, we, the gathered members of the Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club, name and bless this canoe, Kaile’a, and this canoe Wantima and everybody who shall paddle in them. Through the spirits and souls of the people who participate and paddle in them, these canoes will become entities. We ask that these canoes unite our individual strengths. We ask that they keep us in rhythm with each other and with the ocean. We ask that they lead us to our own personal victories and that they bring us safely ashore with their amas down. May the spirit of life watch over all 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 September, 2021

Members take part in the traditional ceremony to mark the arrival of new outriggers. who paddle in Kaile’a and Wantima. Paddle strongly and paddle safely, strive to reach your goals, and above all, enjoy the Aloha of our sport. In today’s society, the importance of pride and tradition in some modern day clubs, sadly tends to be overlooked or completely forgotten. Therefore, with this so-called modern era being what it is, it is indeed very pleasing to meet a sporting club that has respect, not only for its customs but, above all, its age old traditions. To hear the club president, explain the necessity of their place in club life was indeed like a breath of fresh air. To the Noosa Outrigger Club, we say well done and all the best for the future. From our local Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club, comes good news. They have earned the right to host the major semifinal at Dolphins Oval this coming weekend, 4 August. Club president Donald Mckill confirmed the club has a team from every age group from u/12 right through to A grade competing in this weekend’s semi-finals. “This is indeed a huge achievement for our

this weekend and get behind our juniors, colts, women’s and men’s teams.’’ The gates will open 10am Saturday, with games due to kick off from 10.30am with Noosa Colts vs Caloundra. This will be followed by Noosa women’s vs Nambour, Noosas Reggie’s vs University and the A’s vs University. A big weekend for our local rugby.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Waxhead’s swell style So we had some pretty fun waves around Noosa last week, and about time. There were some glorious glassy mornings on the outer bays, open beachies and at the river mouth, and your geriatric columnist managed to sneak a few. But south of the border at the same time, down in locked down, depressed Sydney, OMG! A weird, erratic mega-pulse hit midweek, bringing with it big, clean waves and freezing temperatures. I was talking to a Sydney friend on Tuesday night and he told me a six-metre swell was forecast to hit in the early hours. I told him to leave the beach and head for the hills, but of course he didn’t, and a day later he texted that in a day of high performance, the Waxhead had been a standout. Matty “Waxhead” Chojnacki is hands down my favourite surfer du jour. I’m a bit old for a bromance but I love the guy’s style and energy. We’ve got some history, done some fun stuff over the last decade or so. Earlier this year when I was competing in a heat of an old guy division at the Noosa Logger in deplorable conditions at West Beach, a shadowy figure paddled up the line from the river mouth and plonked himself within earshot. “Paddle 50 metres up the beach,” the Waxhead called. I did, a wave came and I was through to the next round. Thanks, buddy. After last Wednesday’s mega-swell on Sydney’s northern beaches, Waxhead posted: “Beautiful raw energy yesterday, couple of cleanup sets caught us out every hour... my orange board is 9’6” to put it in perspective... I did catch six waves though!” He certainly did. Primarily known as a longboarder with plenty of trophies to prove it, Matty, now 32, is really an all-boarder with a preference for the offbeat and retro, but picking the surfcraft for the job at hand. Which is why he was on a gun for Sydney’s powerful snap swell, although that didn’t stop him copping a few beatings. I’ve had the pleasure of surfing with the Waxhead in Bali and Mexico as well as here in Noosa and in Sydney, and wherever we meet up I always appreciate his unfailing good humour and his profound knowledge of, and respect for, the surfing culture. I remember one time we filmed him in the dusty surfboard storage loft at the Barry Bennett factory in Brookvale, just around the corner from where he restores vintage cars at Taylor and Botham Body Works, and he was like a kid in a lolly shop, running his hands across the pitted decks of ancient but beautiful surfboards. Love his spirit, his style, his go-for-it approach, as evidenced in these shots from last week. Dad’s Day ideas Being a father and a grandfather, an embarrassment of riches is always thrown my way on this special occasion, to the point where thinking of something new and different for the old boy has become harder and harder for my offspring. Perhaps it’s the same in your family. Well, consider the problem solved. A thoughtful PR person sent me the skinny on the “much-loved Aussie brands The Oodie and Calming Blankets”. The Oodie, it turns out, is “Australia’s longest-lasting wearable blanket brand” and Calming Blankets are “a premium, science-driven weighted blanket, designed to assist individuals who suffer from troubled sleep, or stress or sensory conditions that impact sleep quality”. According to the publicist, “Dads who like lounging or working in comfort will love The Oodie. Featuring a luxurious two-layered combo of flannel and sherpa fleece, dads will feel wrapped up in a cosy hug.” Well maybe, but are they cool? Old mate Peter Townend used to wear something similar on cold mornings at Bells back in the ‘70s, and no one laughed. (At least not to his face.) And many years later, greatest of all time Kelly Slater took to wearing a black one during the autumn European tour. So the answer is still, no, not very. Apparently you can pick up an Oodie for $109, or if you’re not sure about dad’s reaction,

And a couple of weeks later, the WSL longboard tour will emerge from the long shadows of Covid, with events at the Surf Ranch and Malibu, and Aussies Tully White and our own Harrison Roach listed to compete. More on that one next week.

EYES ON THE PRIZE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY WHAT a perfect day for the auction by Tom Offermann Real Estate eponymous principal and agent Mal Cox, of 33 Mossman Ct, Noosa Sound - a Tim Ditchfield-designed trophy home on an 810sq m site with a 38m river and beach frontage. It attracted seven registered bidders on Saturday morning and a crowd of 150 that watched pelicans glide by and boaties drop anchor before auctioneer Gordon MacDonald called for an opening bid. Quick as a flash $11m was offered and bids followed in quick succession thereafter and rising to $17.1m. Negotiations continue post auction. At midday the action turned to the Las Rias complex in Quamby Place and on a salubrious stretch of the Noosa River frontage of Noosa Sound, the Eric Seetoo and Tom Offermann-listed penthouse apartment 23 with sky terrace, there were nine registrations and 85 interested onProudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment at U17 Noosa Harbour Resort, Quamby Pl, Noosa Heads, is set for auction Saturday, September 4, at 2pm. 248442 lookers. It was sold under the hammer for $7m to out-of-town buyers. “This Las Rias sale established a new price benchmark for riverfront apartments plus it reinforces the value buyers place on being on the beachfront or riverfront,” Tom Offermann said. “Everyone wants a great view and investing in the front row offers the security of knowing they will never be lost. “Half a dozen buyers missed out at the hotly-contested auction, so we are now searching hard for properties to offer them.” TOES IN THE SAND A ground-level apartment U17 Noosa Harbour Resort, Quamby Pl, Noosa Heads, will give buyers a chance to get their toes in the sand this weekend. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is set for auction on Saturday at 2pm with Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate. It is seen as entry-level for Noosa Sound, with inquiry from people

looking for a toe-hole property, Luke said, especially when close to the river. Giving an indication of the value of Noosa property through the years, this unit sold in 2001 for $128,000, and a one-bed apartment on the water sold for $420,000. The last sale was more than $1.1m last year. If you were to to buy a two-bedroom waterfront apartment in 2001 it would have been for $455,000. Today you would have to pay more than $2m if you could even get someone to talk about selling. “Those with properties in prime positions at Noosa are so grateful they have held onto them, and not letting go,’’ Luke said. NOOSA RIVER DREAMING What a ripper … that’s the way Luke Chen describes the three-bedroom, twobathroom, riverside apartment 5/173 Gympie Tce, Noosaville. Luke is taking the Sandy Beach Resort

apartment to auction at midday on Saturday, September 11, and said there has already been lots of inquiry on it … especially out of the capitals. “They are either moving here or want to holiday. “There was a good turn-out at last Saturday’s open. “Since then we’ve had a lot requesting private viewings or friends are doing a viewing on their behalf. “We have also done FaceTime viewings.’’ It’s an interesting property, looking north to the water, and proving popular with holiday-makers. All of the cafes and restaurants along the river are helping to attract interest. “It has a good lay-out,’’ Luke said. “Bedrooms 2 and 3 are a generous size … they raise eyebrows. “Eyebrows are raised even more when people walk into the living and main bedroom where extra-high ceilings follow the roofline as you are on the top level.’’

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, four-car house on 0.61ha at 39 Arbour Pl, Doonan, is set for auction at midday on Friday, September 3. 248442

12510925-DL36-21

GARDEN PARADISE It’s been a great campaign, with plenty of inspections. Kess Prior of Hinternoosa said she and colleague Graham Smith had more than 40 groups through the four-bedroom, twobathroom, four-car house on 0.61ha at 39 Arbour Pl, Doonan, by the halfway mark of the auction campaign. Set to be taken to the market at midday on Friday, September 3, the property has attracted a lot of inquiry from interstate, including FaceTiming. “It sits in a good price bracket,’’ Kess said, “attracting a lot of family attention. “It’s had a good renovation - there’s nothing much needs doing to it. “People like that it’s fresh and new.’’ The house was built in 2004, and been updated with hybrid timber flooring and fresh paint in contemporary neutral colours. The open plan design and living spaces include a large chef’s kitchen with new appliances and granite-look benchtops. Multiple glass windows frame the garden outlook and open onto a large timber deck. This includes a covered alfresco dining and entertaining area. “They also like the cul-de-sac location,’’ Kess said. “That’s a pleasant surprise. “We’ve had offers but looking to go to auction.’’ HAMMER TIME The auction last Friday of Dunbar Cottage at Cooroy was Hinternoosa agent Jeanette Catalano’s eighth for the year and can claim a 100 percent record for 2021. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 7 Dunbar Ct reinforced Jeanette’s confidence in the sale process. “Such interesting times,’’ she said. “I’ve never seen anything like it in my 18-year career of selling property in the Noosa hinterland. “Interestingly, multiple bidders are not always guaranteed. “It’s nice when that happens though. “The 7 Dunbar Ct auction was looking like there would be three bidders; however, two of them fell away 24 hours before the auction, so we had just one bidder on the day. “We still achieved an excellent price and the seller is so happy that she can move on without any strings attached to the offer.’’

PRIZED SHOW STOPPING PENTHOUSE IF you’ve had your eye on the prize of living in a Manhattan-inspired 5-star penthouse, with a sky terrace overlooking scintillating Noosa Sound waterways, this is number one. And that’s just the beginning to finding an extraordinary piece of paradise. Step inside. Exceptional luxury is obvious in the entrance way, the prodigious marble tiled, lofty ceilinged living areas and beyond to the seemingly endless terrace, where nature rules, imposing its quiet strengths through the Paperbark trees. Organic materials, a neutral palette, textural wallpaper, monochromatic accents and sumptuous sofas, add Manhattaninspired class, however making design statements are oversized mirrors and artworks, imposing artefacts such as six pendants handmade by a Spanish artist hanging over the dining table, also custombuilt cabinetry with a wall mounted eco fireplace. The wallpapered/sound-proofed media room is also of a grand scale with a clerestory ceiling height and sky lights thanks to a void, as well as bespoke cabinetry with integrated sound system and screen. Flowing seamlessly from indoors in the very generous entertaining northward terrace which has high VJ profile ceilings, marble-tiled floors to complement, and integrated outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, sink, and barbeque. There are stairs to the rooftop terrace which like the one below has sweeping filtered views across the Noosa River, Noosa Sound and Noosa Sound waterways. Perfect for sundowners. The kitchen has every accoutrement needed by a passionate cook and entertainer from marble-topped benches including an island/breakfast bar to highend appliances such as integrated Subzero wine fridge, refrigerator, and freezer, and Gaggenau ovens. More can be found in the butler’s pantry where there’s also a wine store. Oh, and let’s not forget the pop-up television in the kitchen. The king-size master bedroom which accesses the main terrace, has an ensuite bathroom with bath, a separate toilet, and a walk-in robe. Again a substantial space and reminiscent of a boutique hotel. A large office has a custom-built desk and shelving, while two king-size bedrooms in the east wing have ensuite bathrooms, built-in robes and share an undercover terrace which looks out to bushland and over the resident’s only-use pools and beautiful gardens. “First impressions do count, however with additional smart inclusions there’s much more on offer than what meets the eye,“ comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart. “The location in the heart of Noosa

HOME FOCUS

LAKESIDE SERENITY – DUAL LIVING WELCOME to your own private hideaway just footsteps away from the serene shores of Lake Cooroibah, caressed by the whispering breezes off the water. Positioned on 607sqm in a quiet street and a block back from the shore, the home offers numerous living alternatives for families and those with elderly parents, and has attractive potential as an income earner for the live-in owner or investor. The home is spacious and comfortable to move in as is, or can be easily upgraded to suit your own design and lifestyle choices. A versatile split level configuration incorporates mid level open plan lounge, dining and kitchen flowing to the back deck with a treed vista and glimpses of Lake Cooroibah where you can kick back, relax and relish the stillness of rustic living. There is also a bathroom and toilet on this level. Ceiling fans and part airconditioning provide seasonal comfort. The lower level ground floor has its own separate entry and consists of a very generous living area and third bedroom

with bathroom and toilet. These quarters are currently tenanted. The lovely, near new granny flat is a surprise factor, incorporating a spacious kitchen, sunny living space, large bedroom, bathroom, own laundry and attractive courtyard. Every home needs a workshop and this

home has a great one already kitted out with handy benches, a bonus for tradies or the handyman. There is a two car space underhouse, a small rear yard and low maintenance gardens, the property is fully fenced suitable for pets, and construction is sturdy brick and tile.

An opportunity awaits for you to enjoy all the benefits of this “back to nature” location – beautiful trees and parks, walking trails, swimming, fishing, boating, all only 8 minutes to Tewantin Village and urban amenities or 18 minutes to Noosa Heads for more sophisticated delights. What are you waiting for? ●

“IT’S THE SERENITY” PERFECTLY positioned within a tree-lined street, a short walking distance to Lake Cooroibah and a mere 7 minute drive to the Tewantin township, this beautifully presented private 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home is the ideal place to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of the Noosa region. The upstairs level of this lovely highset home has been designed to capture the wonderful lake breezes and natural light. The spotted gum floors of the open plan kitchen, dining and living area lead out to the expansive deck, perfect for entertaining. The master suite and second bedroom with built-ins are located upstairs along with a large bathroom tastefully decorated in neutral colours. Gas hot water and ceiling fans throughout deliver extra convenience. Downstairs you have two further bedrooms, laundry, bathroom with a separate toilet. In addition you have a living room with a kitchenette with its very own external access and parking perfect for the extended family, teenage retreat or for friends to stay over. This entire level is fully tiled.

The block is a generous 607sqm² and is fully fenced. At the rear of the property is a shed and carport ideal for storing the jetski, dinghy, tools or other assets you may have. Cocooned from the “busyness” of the main townships, this slice of quiet, lakeside living will appeal to those seeking a peaceful village lifestyle. ●
