Kids get say on climate Over her 18 months in office, two things have defined Councillor Amelia Lorentson – energy and enthusiasm. Amelia has an idea a minute, and while not all of them see the light of day, she is relentless in pursuit of support for them. Which is one reason why her recent proposed amendment to the Climate Change Response Plan to include a youth reference group received unanimous support. Another reason is that it’s a good idea. Our kids need to be given a seat at the table on this, a global issue with local ramifications which will potentially define the lives of theirs and future generations here in Noosa as it will around the world. The younger generation has already been given this opportunity in other parts of the world with extraordinary results. It’s time we followed suit. Read more on page 3

Oyster concern By Margaret Maccoll

Noosa councillors are divided in their willingness to continue funding payments of the Noosa Oyster Restoration Project until the long-awaited approval from state government has been obtained. At its General Meeting on Monday, councillors debated the acceptance of a project report that marked a milestone in the payment process.

Council entered into an Alliance and Funding Agreement with conservation organisation The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in 2019, establishing a strategic partnership for the primary purpose of undertaking oyster ecosystem restoration in the Noosa River over three years. The Alliance and Funding Agreement provides for a series of deliverables and measurable outcomes to be achieved, the report being one of those key milestones.

The agreement has four payment milestones for Noosa Council’s contribution of $1.2 million toward the total $3.6 million project. Having paid its initial instalment of almost $180,000, a second payment of $200,000 is due from council upon demonstrated achievement of measurable outcomes which include the state government permits for oyster reef installation, which have not yet been obtained. Council heard the reef installation required

a development application that was referred to various state government departments for approval. Questions were raised about the siting of reef infrastructure in Noosa River, the extent of community consultation and the predicted success of growing oysters in the warm Noosa waters with previous oyster reef projects gaining success in colder waters.

Council to hear youth By Phil Jarratt While not everyone would be delighted to have a couple of dozen fuming Greta Thunbergs lecturing us, most people realise that dealing with climate change is an issue that will most impact the next generation, and the sooner they play an active role the better. As Cr Amelia Lorenston puts it: “The amendment was part of my commitment to include young kids in our political processes and allow them to participate and debate issues that affect them ... and keep us politicians on our toes.” At Council’s August Ordinary Meeting, Cr Lorentson’s amendment was to “request the CEO to investigate options for the formation of a Youth Reference Group, to participate in Council’s climate change response and contribute to practical solutions”. As a result council’s carbon reduction project officer Annie Nolan (who is also completing a PhD on eco-anxiety) has been commissioned to pull a reference group together before the end of the year. Cr Lorentson told the meeting: “We have low or no representation of young people in any of our advisory groups. [She was being kind, we have none.] I acknowledge the great work done by Dalia Mikhail from the Noosa Environmental Education Hub, and expect that members of her Youth Advocacy Group will be represented in this reference group. I also envisage representation of youth ranging in age from eight to 19. The reference group will allow our kids to partake in politics and decision-making in matters that affect them. It is also Council’s opportunity to listen to all of our constituents, including our youth, and to understand what climate change means to them, and how it is impacting their mental health.” As Cr Lorentson pointed out, the Environmental Education Hub has been providing a forum for kids to express themselves about climate change for quite some time, but the point of difference in the council reference group will be that they will play a real role in determining what our climate change response looks like.

Cr Amelia Lorentson.

Noosa Youth Advocacy Group members Madeleine Cleland and Jenna Riddford with Amelia Lorentson and Dalia Mikhail. Picture: SUPPLIED Says Cr Lorentson: “I’ve been meeting up with kids from the Youth Advocacy Group and they ask such tough questions about what we’re going to do about cleaning up the waterways, about landfill, about bushfires, and they literally have no idea about what we’re already doing on these issues. We spend so much time on our resilience programs, providing mental

support to the community, but in my opinion, we’re forgetting the kids. We need to focus more on that. The idea is that they can give us their views and know that we’re listening to them, and they can also see the process of decision-making and debate. “This is about nurturing and empowering kids. The exciting part for me is that every kid

has some understanding of climate change, but it often comes from the doomsday stuff on social media – we need to let them know there is hope.” This last point is one we often overlook when discussing the effects on children when they perceive their world is in crisis. I still have vivid memories of the terror I felt as a small child when the Cold War seemed to be threatening nuclear annihilation. The Berlin Wall terrified me, but the Cuban Missile Crisis brought out the sweaty palms and a hollowness in my gut that never seemed to go away. It must be no different for many children today who lack the filters to tell the difference between scare-mongering and real news about climate change. Council’s initiative will help change that.

A new lease set to revive Sunrise Beach shops An IGA Supermarket could be the new anchor tenant at Sunrise Beach Shopping centre for 10 years, with a further five-year option. Mayor Clare Stewart said the new flagship tenancy was a major coup for the Councilowned shopping village, offering a $130,000 annual return to ratepayers. At Monday’s General Committee meeting, Councillors unanimously supported to fund a $700,000 expansion to the vacant site, to provide the necessary space for the proposed operator. The resolution will be ratified at Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting. The lease agreement will include expansion of the current 305m2 site to approximately 500m2. Cr Stewart said the capital expenditure

was a good investment for the community. “We certainly see this as a worthwhile investment in a ratepayer-owned asset to secure a great tenant to service the shire,” she said. “IGA provides enormous benefits to local residents and would generate a steady income for council over the next 10 to 15 years.” Cr Stewart said the new tenant would certainly maximise the potential of the site. “Our leasing agents and council officers have done a tremendous job to actively find a good quality tenant, which complements existing businesses in the complex,” she said. Council officers will aim to finalise lease arrangements shortly, including a 12-month rent free period, designed to help offset the substantial fit out costs to the premises.

At Monday’s General Committee meeting, Councillors unanimously supported to fund a $700,000 expansion to the vacant site.

A show of success By Margaret Maccoll With perfect spring weather and a thirst for entertainment fuelled by lockdowns and cancellations, crowds poured into the Noosa Country Show last weekend, doubling the numbers seen when it last ran in 2019. Show society president Charlie Pattison said the show pulled in more than 10,000 people over its two days, compared to 5000 last time round. “I’ve been told by a lot of people who have been coming for 20 years, they’ve never seen so many people, it’s never been so good,“ he said. Charlie said the rodeo on Saturday night attracted 2000 people and the Monster Truck show, a huge drawcard on Friday night, had people five to six rows deep around the arena. He said the pony club food store had sold out by 1pm and had to send out for supplies, and he’d received a letter from the Showmen’s guild thanking them for a great show. “They were over the moon,“ he said. “I think a lot of it has to do with not having anything on for almost two years and there’s been a lot of people coming into the town.“ Charlie praised everyone who had contributed to the show and said their volunteers,

Bags galore from Gordon Richards of Showbag Warehouse. many new to the show, had worked hard and were thrilled with the outcome. “They were just driving round with huge smiles on their faces,“ he said.

From page 1 TNC spokesmen said the project’s advisory reference group had helped draft the plan and the organisation had met with state government agencies and responded to feedback provided to them on the project. They said they were confident oysters would survive in the river when provided appropriate structures to grow on as they were already in existence and Noosa oysters would be assisted by oysters currently being seeded at Bribie Island to be transferred to Noosa. Oyster reef sites had been identified for construction at Tewantin and Goat Island. The meeting heard oysters were fairly productive, quick to mature and each one would benefit the water quality of the river system although their overall benefit was difficult to measure and dependent on other inputs into the system. Mayor Clare Stewart said the project had been waiting 15 months for state government permits and there was no further conversation to be had until the permits had been obtained. Both councillors Amelia Lorentson and Karen Finzel agreed, with Cr Lorentson saying the state government approval was simply approval to proceed. “We can’t pay our $200,000 until we can proceed,” she said. The three councillors voted against accepting the report. Councillors Brian Stockwell, Tom Wegener and Frank Wilkie voted in favour of its acceptance with chair Cr Wilkie casting the deciding vote in favour of acceptance. Cr Brian Stockwell said it was no time to put the brakes on the project with the real risks of it being ecosystem decline. It’s important we have the water quality benefit. This is about restoring ecosystems that were once abundant. It’s important to understand there are multiple benefits, he said. Council’s decision on TNC’s report and second payment was to be finalised at its Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Gala night under stars By Margaret Maccoll “This night is about celebrating the good things in life - good food, good times and good company,“ renowned poet and MC Rupert McCall told a dazzling event, Under the Stars annual charity gala, hosted at Peregian Beach to raise money for the rebuild of its surf club. Guests donned dinner suits and ball gowns to sit under the tipi tents at Peregian Park and enjoy a three-course dinner prepared by extraordinary chefs Peter Kuruvita, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Adriano Zumbo. The event commemorated the second anniversary of the Peregian Beach bushfires and the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 Twin Tower tragedy for which Rupert McCall had written

and recited at a poem, A Firefighters Dream, at Ground Zero. Event organiser Leigh McCready told guests how the Peregian Beach Family and Friend organisation had formed in 2017 to revive the surf club closed down in 2014. Since then hundreds of children had joined the nippers and 30 adults had completed their life saver training but there was more to do, including the securing of a long-term lease for the surf club and training of enough volunteer lifesavers to keep everyone safe on the beach. Ms McCready said a survey conducted by Peregian Family and Friends found 80 per cent of participants wanted a traditional surf club with a restaurant, bar and facilities for lifesaving training and activities. “The work is not done,“ she said.

Noosa bid to join Council of Mayors Noosa Council will apply to join the Southeast Queensland Council of Mayors in a show of support for the organisation and its successful bid for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Mayor Clare Stewart said it was important Noosa strengthened its collaboration with other local councils in the south-east. “Noosa’s involvement is long overdue, and councillors feel we need to broaden our engagement with other councils and be part of future discussions on a range of issues impacting the shire,” she said. “SEQ Council of Mayors have done a tremendous job on a number of matters in recent years, including playing a pivotal role in securing the Olympic Games, “Understandably this once in a generation event has the potential to accelerate investment in transport, infrastructure, tour-

ism and so much more across the south-east and it’s time Noosa supported the work of this organisation,” Cr Stewart said. At Monday’s General Committee meeting, councillors were united in their support to apply to the SEQ Councils of Mayors organisation. Council chief executive officer Brett de Chastel said council would most probably be required to pay an annual membership of $35,000 and may also be required to contribute a one-off $40,000-$50,000 toward Olympic Games’ expenses but that was still to be decided by the group. Cr Stewart said previous Noosa Councils decided not to be part of the SEQ Council of Mayors and that was their choice, but the current council considered collaboration and robust dialogue with other councils as vital.

“We need to work as one SEQ region to deliver better outcomes for the business sector and wider community,“ she said. “Working with other councils provides an opportunity to raise issues with the group, who can advocate on our behalf and amplify our lobbying voice to the State and Federal Government. “The 2032 Games are a golden opportunity for our Council to work more closely with other SEQ local governments and to advocate to the State and Federal Government to improve regional connectivity across the Sunshine Coast and secure state of the art community and sporting facilities.“ Cr Brian Stockwell said he supported the move with the understanding of what Noosa could bring to the group and what the group could bring to Noosa.

Call to cut river speed Calls for speeds in the river to be lowered and the identification of inconsistencies in limits has led the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee (NRSAC) to review vessel speeds and prepare recommendations for Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ). The committee will also review plans by Council and MSQ to crack down on unapproved structures and unlawful vessels in the Frying Pan area of the river. Both topics were discussed at the committee’s latest meeting that was chaired by MSQ assistant regional harbour master Jonathan Beatty and Noosa Council chief executive officer Brett de Chastel. Spokesman Nick Hluszko said there were a few inconsistencies between sign-posted speed limits and actual gazetted speed limits.

“It’s important this is resolved to provide clarity for river users and to ensure the speed limits can be confidently enforced,” he said. “There are also growing calls from residents and river users for the lower speed limits in place during the Christmas holidays to apply all year round in some parts of the river to make it safer for all users in the wake of increasing traffic on the water.” With Council and MSQ about to embark on a project to rid the Frying Pan area of unapproved structures as well as unregistered and unseaworthy vessels, the committee will review project plans and provide technical expertise on site rehabilitation. “With more than eight recognised stakeholder groups represented, the committee has a wealth of knowledge to offer the agencies in-

volved in the clean-up and rehabilitation,” Mr Hluszko said. The agencies involved have notified residents and boat owners that unlawful structures and vessels will be removed, and rehabilitation of damaged mangroves will begin. Council is working collaboratively with the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Boating and Fisheries Patrol and MSQ to plan and co-ordinate the clean-up effort. Mr Hluszko said the committee looked forward to working with MSQ over the next 18 months as it reviews anchoring rules for the river, which the community will be consulted on.

Go Noosa free buses locked in for key holidays The full suite of Go Noosa Free Holiday Buses will be back for Christmas 2021 and Easter 2022. Councillors gave the green light at Monday’s General Committee meeting. Mayor Clare Stewart said the popularity of the program and the benefits to providing alternatives to the car made it an easy decision for council to make. “We all know that Christmas and Easter are our peak times for traffic congestion in Noosa, and anything that makes getting around easier and avoids circulating for a car park is a bonus for everyone,” Cr Stewart said. “Local businesses have had another incredibly tough year with trading restrictions and closed borders so making it easier for

locals and visitors to get out and about during these peak holidays will hopefully also go some way toward helping businesses bounce back,” the Mayor said. Subject to TransLink approvals, travel will be free on TransLink buses servicing Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Peregian Beach, Noosa Parklands, Tewantin, Noosa Civic, Cooroy, Cooran and Pomona. Council’s Go Noosa Loop Bus is also here to stay. The Loop Bus will again service a park-and-ride facility at the Weyba Road AFL ground, and The J every 15 minutes until 7pm and half hourly until 10pm. Both sites have ample parking. To accommodate parking demand from those who do drive in, Council will again offer paid parking in the Lions Park at Noosa

Heads, managed by the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club. “Fifty per cent of the proceeds from the paid parking will go to Tewantin-Noosa Lions Club to fund its good work in the community.” Council will continue to encouraging residents and visitors to consider alternative transport options including the Noosa Ferry, e-scooter, e-bike and bike providers. Cr Stewart said the initiatives would all help make getting around Noosa easier for both locals and visitors. Council’s Go Noosa initiatives aim to reduce traffic congestion by providing relaxed and fun alternatives to travelling around Noosa by private car.

Lessons from Tom’s tour By Phil Jarratt The beauty of Tom Wegener’s recently concluded Communities Tour – although more dates are now mooted for late spring – was that since no one really knew what the councillor was on about, expectations were low. It was all a bit puzzling. The fact is, Tom was tapping into a line of communication that normally doesn’t exist for many Noosa residents – the ability to learn firsthand how Noosa got to be an island of sustainability in a sea of gung-ho growth, and what we have to do to keep it so, and the people who came to these small-group chat shows were fascinated by what they learned. When Cr Wegener, who has been a friend for more than 20 years, heard I was launching my Noosa history, Place Of Shadows, in late July, he asked if we could use that as the platform to also launch his Big Idea. By the time he finished explaining it to me, I was in! It was just so brilliantly simple. Take the history of Noosa to the people, let them add their own stories to it, engage with them and paint a picture of what we all want for Noosa in the future. No politics, no pitches, just important conversations between the people who helped make Noosa the way it is, and the people who are enjoying the benefits of that. Of course, it’s in the interest, not to mention job description, of local politicians to talk to their constituents, and few people do that better than our independent MP Sandy Bolton, but most of these conversations are specific problem-solvers, whether it’s a pothole or a noisy party house. Few had ever asked residents outside of an election to just come and have a chat about how Noosa’s going. Would people come? Tom had absolute faith that they would. Both of us knew that the key was to bring chapters of the book to life by inviting people who had truly made a difference to speak to

At the Visitor Information Centre on Hastings Street, Kabi Kabi elder Brian Warner talked about past injustices and future hopes for his people.

Everywhere we went, the reaction was the same, from people who’d been part of the history themselves to newcomers who had no idea of the battles that had been fought - give us more. Let’s be open to further discussion about life in Noosa and how we can make it better. Says Tom: “I’m very happy with what we achieved on this first tour. There will be more! As a fairly new politician, I firmly believe that we have to take the community on the journey with us, and learn from each other.”

Gino to lead our RSL By Abbey Cannan Growing up as a ‘navy brat’ and having spent almost 21 years serving in the US Navy, the new Tewantin/Noosa RSL Sub Branch president is more than qualified for the role. Originally from California, Gino Amarrador moved his family to Noosa four years ago and has been enjoying the lifestyle change. “Travelling is kind of in my blood,” he said. “When I joined the Navy, we filled out a dream sheet and it had three dream places on it and I wrote - ‘Australia, Australia, Australia’. “Throughout my 21 years in the Navy, I never stepped one foot in Australia. So I found it as a challenge to eventually get here. “We moved straight to an Airbnb in Brisbane and then moved to Boreen Point for about a year and now we’re at Peregian Springs.” While volunteering at Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club, Gino met a fellow Navy veteran, who asked him to join him on his rescue boat. “He introduced me to the RSL Sub Branch, as I didn’t really know it existed,” Gino said. After standing desk watch for a couple of months at the Tewantin/Noosa RSL Sub Branch, Gino fell into the role of president, with a little nudge from the departing president Adel Amin. “I’m very honoured to be here,” he said. “There’s a lot of good work to do to support the veteran community and that’s what I really look forward to. “I come from a culture in America where the veteran community and active duty military were very close. And I find that there’s maybe a little bit of a gap here. The gap is getting smaller, as we have a lot of younger veterans from Afghan and Iraq coming in to give some of their time, and hopefully that will continue to grow down the road. “Anzac Day is also getting bigger and bigger for the local area and I find it great that the community is engaging more and that they bring their kids out for the memorial days as it’s really important.” Gino said his family was enjoying the lifestyle change following their move prior to the Covid pandemic. “Coming from California, California has a higher population than the whole of Australia,” he laughed. “So when people complain about traffic here in Noosa, it’s not really traffic. You should drive through LA, at 3am in the morning

Renowned illustrator launches her garden book Illustrative researcher Enid Mayfield, an Honorary Associate of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Victoria, will launch her book, Illustrated Plant Glossary at Noosa Community Gardens on Thursday 23 September. Director of Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens Professor Tim Entwisle praised her

book in a glowing endorsement. “A good botanical glossary - and by good, I mean one that is both useful and used often - is a potent mix of art and science. In this case, the art is both literal, through Enid Mayfield’s beautifully soft and precise watercolours, and in the exquisite way the

definitions are crafted and presented. The science of course is in the detail, and this is exceptional. The result is more than a charming addition to my bookshelf. It will now unseat my previous glossary of choice (from Kew Gardens no less) and sit proudly beside Benjamin Daydon Jackson’s Glossary of Botanical Terms, a masterwork of science

but not of art,” he said. The book will be launched at a garden party at gardens at Tait Duke Cottage, Earl Street, Tewantin at 10am. Numbers are limited so please RSVP by 17 September to June Copeman 0412 384 848 noosacommunitygardens@gmail.com

Tracking nesting sites The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) has partnered with Bushland Conservation Management on new research in an effort to identify Glossy Black-Cockatoo nesting sites in the Noosa Shire. The project will use bioacoustics monitoring to record and analyse calls of the bird across the region. Kim Morris says while bioacoustics technology has been around for a while, this research will use specific recogniser software developed by Dr Daniella Teixeira to identify calls of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo. “The sound recogniser software was successfully used on Kangaroo Island. Being able to use Dr Teixeira’s software here in Noosa will ensure the accuracy of this data. It would be near impossible to do this manually,” Ms Morris said. NBRF director Jady Smith said the innovative research was critical to conserving the Glossy Black-Cockatoo. “The Noosa Biosphere Reserve is considered a significant habitat with up to one-third of the entire known population located in the region. Unfortunately, there is limited data available about their nesting sites and this project will provide some of the data we need for better management,” he said. The Glossy Black-Cockatoo (GBC) is listed as vulnerable in Queensland and faces ongoing pressures of land clearing, bushfire, and habitat fragmentation. The research comes after the NBRF hosted the GBC Forum in November last year where current knowledge and management gaps were discussed. Ms Morris said the forum was instrumental in developing the research project. “I’ve been doing wildlife nesting boxes for years now which led me down the path to Glossy Black-Cockatoos which have very specific needs. The GBC Forum was great to be among other stakeholders and hear their ex-

Thanks to citizen science observations by passionate community members, we do know Glossies are breeding. “Once we can identify the nesting sites we

can really work on revegetation with feed trees and target further nesting box installation to critical zones. “This project will supply real data that hasn’t been achieved before in this region. To have the NBRF fully supporting the project is really exciting.

Monitoring will take place during the breeding season between January to June 2022. The NBRF aims for the data gained from the research to inform future conservation management decisions for local Glossy BlackCockatoo populations. For more information, visit noosabiosphere.org.au

Michael’s legacy lives on Four months after Noosa local Michael Riordan passed away from prostate cancer, his daughters are calling on the local community to fight back against the disease during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (September). The well-known local, who worked for Queensland Ambulance Service for 25 years, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020 and passed away just one year later at age 64. His daughters Jess and Caitie Riordan are determined to continue his legacy by taking part in The Long Run to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia - and would love the community to join them. The Long Run encourages people to run, walk or wheel 72km throughout Prostate Cancer Awareness Month to raise vital funds for prostate cancer research and support services. Jess, who is now a nurse in Brisbane, said she had seen first-hand what patients went through during chemotherapy and radiation therapy - but watching her own dad go through it was harder than she ever imagined. “To bear witness to such a strong man, having to go through that and knowing that it didn’t prolong his life was just awful,” she said. “I’d like to think that there is a better way to treat and eradicate prostate cancer, but it is yet to be discovered. I’m hoping that bringing attention to this cause will assist in finally finding a cure. “I have a husband, brother and son - I’d run to make sure that they don’t have to go through what dad did and prevent any other families from the pain of losing their loved ones. “He was such a special man, he dedicated his career to helping others as a paramedic and continued to work right up until his treatment. Losing him is not only a great loss to us, but the wider community.” Jess said her dad had always been into running and sport, which inspired her to take up

Jess, Katie, Michael, Luca.

Luca Banney, Jackson Banney, Jess Riordan, Sue Riordan, Heather Riordan, Jake Riordan, Michael Riordan, Caitie Riordan. The Long Run specifically. “Dad loved sport and running, so to be chatting to him as I go, gives me strength to keep going on days that are particularly tough,” she said. “We also wanted to raise funds to help vital research into prostate cancer, so that more men aren’t lost to a disease that can hopefully one day be treatable. “As dad was prominent member of the Noosa community - we would love to see locals come together for The Long Run and help love go the distance.” Locals can support Jess and Caitie by do-

nating at thelongrun.org.au/fundraisers/doingitfordad. New participants and teams can also register in one easy step via thelongrun. org.au. PCFA chief executive officer Professor Jeff Dunn AO urged men and their loved ones to come together for the long run. “Many families in the local community are facing prostate cancer right now and will need special care and support,” he said. “This year’s campaign, with the theme Together for the long run, aims to show our solidarity and raise vital funds so that men have access to life-saving support.

Earlier this year, Noosa local Michael Riordan sadly passed away from prostate cancer. “Without community involvement in campaigns such as The Long Run, we simply will not be able to meet the growing demand for PCFA services and programs. “We would love to see the community come together for The Long Run in 2021 and help love go the distance.” More than 3000 people are expected to join The Long Run campaign this year in the hope of raising $1.6 million for prostate cancer research and specialist nurses.

Era ends for River House The death of Noosa and Tewantin identity Dawn Farbach last month signals the end of an era for the Noosa North Shore’s most gracious and historic surviving home, the River House. As the owner of River House for more than half a century, and a long-term North Shore resident, Dawn’s passing closes the page on the most recent chapter in the intriguing history of the property whose previous owners include Noosa Shire’s first chairman, James Duke, and long-serving MP Harry Walker Dawn and her late husband Rick bought the River House, as it was known, in 1967 as a holiday house for their young family. They would travel up from Brisbane each school holiday to enjoy fishing and sailing on the beautiful Noosa River. Prior to purchasing the house they owned another block further up the river where the family camped. Outside the holiday,s the house was rented for a number of years to a group of American hippies who would move out of the house when the family were there. Dawn and Rick retired to the River House in 1980. Rick was a well known Brisbane jazz musician and also musical director at all three Brisbane television stations. The Farbachs hosted many family gatherings and parties over the years, with their muso friends often landing at the River House with instruments in hand. Apart from opening the verandahs that had been enclosed by a previous owner, and adding iron lattice work, the house is still in original condition. Nestled amongst modern homes, the River House harks back to a less frenetic time on the Noosa River. Over the years, Dawn filled the house with

an eclectic collection of curios, knic knacs and memorabilia, and took much pleasure in ringing a ship’s bell and waving as boats passed. The original Crown Land grant for 80 acres on the Noosa North Shore was made to Robert Dath in 1882 and was the site of the Dath Henderson & Co timber mill until it closed in 1892. James Duke, the Father of Cooroy and first chairman of the Noosa Shire Council, was asked to care take the mill site after the closure, and lived in the mill manager’s house before purchasing the land in 1901. Duke built the River House in 1913 as a residence for his family. When ill health forced Duke to move over the river to Tewantin, the property was sold to Rosanna Walker, wife of Harry Walker MP. Mr Walker was a member of the Queensland parliament for more than 40 years, representing the electorates of Wide Bay and Coorooma. Throughout his a career, he was a member of no fewer than six political parties. A portrait of Harry still hangs on a wall at the River House amongst Farbach memorabilia. Rosanna Walker subdivided the land in 1928 and the blocks along the river were progressively sold off. Following Harry’s death in 1950, she sold the River House block to Joseph Miller in 1951. He then subdivided the block into two lots and sold the house to Rick and Dawn in 1967. The historic photos that adorn the walls of the Royal Mail Hotel at Tewantin tell the tale of timber getters of the day. The River House is part of that story. Vale Dawn Farbach. The story of the River House begins a new chapter. by Pia Harrison on behalf of the Farbach family.

Peter calls time After eight successful years, Peter Kuruvita will be leaving the helm at Noosa Beach House to pursue new opportunities. For Peter, the greatest reward has been working alongside his dedicated team and the loyal support of the community. After what has been a most successful joint venture between Peter and Sofitel Noosa Pacific Hotel, both parties said they feel the time is now right for a new direction. Peter, whose final day at the restaurant will be Thursday 30 September, said, “This is the

end of a truly memorable era for me.“ “I’d like to thank all the locals, regulars and visitors who travelled far and wide to dine at the restaurant and attend our events. “I’ve been lucky enough to work with an incredible hard-working team, amazing Sunshine Coast producers and be a part of such a strong community. “Noosa is my home, and my next exciting adventure will remain in the neighbourhood and be revealed soon.” The years Peter spent establishing Noosa

Beach House as a favourite of the Noosa dining scene have been both rewarding and memorable. During his time, the restaurant received many accolades and industry awards including the Business of the Year at the 2019 Sunshine Coast Business Awards and the Bronze Award in Restaurant and Catering at the 2019 Queensland Tourism Awards. News of Peter’s next venture will be released in the coming weeks but locals will be happy to know he is remaining in Noosa Shire.

USC makes steady progress up rankings USC Australia is continuing to make steady progress up the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. In the highly competitive ranking scheme, USC moved up from 681 to 668 over the past year at a time when the scheme expanded from assessing 1526 universities globally to evaluating 2112 of them. This increase means that, for the first time since entering the scheme in 2016, USC has ranked in the top third of universities - an achievement that highlights its success at becoming a globally significant world-class university. The Times Higher Education website explains that its 2022 World University Rankings use 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators to provide the definitive list of the world’s best universities. “It is the only global university league table to judge research-intensive universities across all of their core missions: teaching (the learning environment); research (volume, income and reputation); citations (research influence); industry income (knowledge transfer) and international outlook (staff, students and

ments across all its ranking scores for teaching, research, citations, industry income, and international outlook over the past year. “USC has held its relative position while the number of universities considered in this ranking scheme has more than doubled since 2018,” she said. “In a very short time, USC has gone from being a small university that was serving its local community to one that has a presence on the global stage as a genuine international university.” Professor Bartlett said USC’s objective in joining the ranking scheme was to focus its teaching, research and engagement efforts towards becoming a university of world standing. “It has focused our attention on how to develop excellence in all that we do” she said. With institutional data from 2019 and publication data from 2016-2020 used for this year’s rankings, USC believes its recent achievements (including placing 26th in THE’s Impact Rankings for 2021) will continue to have a positive role on its reputation and will develop stronger global partnerships.

Tourism Noosa recently joined forces with the Queensland Government’s Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) to deliver an informative agritourism development workshop for interested agritourism business operators in the region. Adam Townson, Head of Marketing and Events for Tourism Noosa, joined representatives from DAF, Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism, the Department of State Development, Infrastructure Local Government and Planning, and Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast Councils to present to regional business operators who are considering, or currently planning on, developing an agritourism feature to their businesses. Agritourism encompasses a range of activities where tourism and agriculture intersect and visitors can indulge in an authentic, grazed or grown from the land, experience. The aim of this workshop was to discuss, inform and develop the Sunshine Coast’s Agritourism offerings. Information shared on the day provided insights into state and local government planning parameters and overviews, the agritourism visitor, economic development on the Sunshine Coast, and tourism marketing for the agritourism business. Tourism Noosa’s Food Tourism Manager Lee Huber said “Agritourism is a key aspect of our Food Tourism strategy and this workshop provided a great opportunity to connect with industry and support our local operators“. Presentations were also delivered by two existing agritourism operators who shared their stories, providing insightful, firsthand experiences of their individual business development journeys. Both Lauren Brisbane, from Q Camel and Lisa Paul, from Glasshouse Plantation, provided invaluable information on what business operators could expect when creating and operating an agritourism offering.

Noosa Biosphere awards Noosa’s environment and sustainability champions turned out for the Noosa Biosphere Awards launch event at Land and Sea Brewery on Tuesday 7 September. Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) hosted the free launch and information session to raise awareness of this exciting new initiative. NBRF executive coordinator Sharon Wright said the Noosa Biosphere Awards were a great opportunity to recognise the individuals, businesses and organisations that were implementing innovative local solutions to the global challenges of sustainable development in the community. “The Noosa Biosphere Awards will recog-

nise the people making a real difference in our community, those who are leading the way in environmental and sustainability innovation and excellence,” she said. There are four category awards - land, water, wildlife and people and economy. Each have attracted high profile sponsors, demonstrating strong industry support for this program. “We are very happy to announce USC Australia has sponsored the land award, Tourism Noosa the water award, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) are sponsoring the wildlife award, and Noosa Council have come on board to sponsor the people and economy award,” Ms Wright said.

The awards’ judging panel includes inaugural Noosa Biosphere Ltd chair Michael Donovan; former Zero Emissions Noosa president, Vivien Griffin; Noosa and District Landcare’s Phil Moran, former NBRF director Judy Castledine; and Noosa Shire Councillors Brian Stockwell, Amelia Lorentson, Karen Finzel and Tom Wegener. “We are thrilled to have such a highly experienced panel of judges who will bring their extensive expertise and passion to the awards,” Ms Wright said. Entries are currently open to individuals, businesses and organisations whose activities are within the Noosa Shire and which benefit the Noosa Biosphere Reserve.

“We encourage anyone who is making a positive difference in our community to apply for an award. We’ve aimed to make the application process as easy and inclusive as possible,” Ms Wright said. Applicants should meet the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme objectives and aim to meet at least three of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Entries close Sunday 26 September. Winners will be announced at the Noosa Biosphere Wild Koala Gala on Tuesday 2 November. For details on how to enter, visit noosabiosphere.org.au/awards

Career option-radiography By Brigid Muir Noosa District State High School Year 11 Social and Community Studies students were enthralled learning about radiography, thanks to guest speaker Wibke James. Radiographer Ms James visited the class as part of the students’ study this term of the world of work. She spoke to the students about her training and ongoing studies, the profession itself, and some of the challenges of the job. Ms James decided she wanted to be a radiographer after fracturing her finger at the age of 12 and experiencing a great deal of pain while her x-rays were taken. “She wasn’t a good radiographer, and I decided then and there that I could do a much better job. And now, I do,” Ms James said. A four-year university degree attained in her home country of Germany was deemed as an insufficient qualification in Australia, and Ms James was required to complete the same degree (and another four years of study), when she arrived in Australia in 2009. “It wasn’t easy a second time around. The technology we work with constantly changes, and to complicate things further, I was learning this time around in English, which is not my native language,” Ms James said. Ms James showed the students x-rays and CT scans and explained how different imaging is utilised to form diagnosis. “Due to a shortage of radiologists in the UK, highly qualified radiographers are now able to state immediate findings on plain x-ray films. This is no substitute for a doctor’s report, but helps in managing potential fractures immediately and lightens the workload on radiologists. Hopefully, we’ll

New technologies, including virtual flythroughs of organs were discussed. “Radiographers must keep up with the new technology. Things are changing fast in this profession,” Ms James said. The students were fascinated with Ms James’ personal narrative on her career. “I really enjoyed the opportunity to share my profession,” Ms James said. Many Year 11 students are now considering careers in the healthcare industry, and they were grateful for Ms Wibke’s insights.

Events and marketing officer Ali Kelly-McCudden said, “Sunshine Butterflies Triathlon was such an uplifting and inspiring event for our members and community, we couldn’t wait to do it again this year.“ Sunshine Butterflies Triathlon is based on the traditional triathlon format, but with a twist.

Mural flies By Margaret Maccoll Inspired by the Roman mythological goddess of abundance and orchards named Pomona, Tia Carrigan has created a mural for the hinterland town that brightens the wall near her florist and creative store called The Bird. The artist and florist said the painting was a thank you to the town for the support they had given her over the five years she had operated her shop in Reserve Street. “It’s a big wall at the end of my building. I’ve been eyeing it off for a while,“ she said. The mural combines the goddess with birds signifying their freedom to take flight. “Everyone’s been very supportive throughout the whole process. Prior to starting it I consulted with all the businesses and they were all very supportive.

“It’s nice and bright which we all need a bit of in these times.“ Tia said many people came by to check on the progress of the artwork in the two weeks it was underway. The mural is the largest work attempted by Tia who began the project by measuring it up and setting it out on a grid which she transferred to the wall and used as a reference throughout the painting. But it wasn’t the first building she has adorned with artwork. Recently Tia travelled to Goondiwindi, near the farming community where she grew up, to cover a toilet block in artwork at the request of friends who run a landscape festival in the area.Having enjoyed the mural experience so much Tia is now looking toward other mural possibilities.

Playing Pearls in brewery By Jim Fagan Foaming craft beer and 17th and 18th century baroque music made a heady, if unusual, mix at Glasshouse Brewery, Forest Glen, last Saturday. Chamber music group, the Arioso Chamber Ensemble, has been playing together for seven years and has at last pleased its many fans by making a CD, Pearls, which was launched by ABC radio presenter, Ed Ayres, at the brewery restaurant. Performances by the four musicians, Janet Brewer (harpsichord), Margaret Caley (baroque violin), Belinda Manwaring (baroque cello). and Judit Molnar (soprano) are usually sold out when they play at concerts and festivals in South- East Queensland and northern New South Wales. On Saturday they gave a preview of the CD with a selection of their favourite works, including baroque masterpieces by Handel, Vivaldi and Monteverdi. Soprano Judit Molnar ‘s voice, has been heard in solo and chamber concerts, festivals, oratorios and on opera stages across Europe, the UK Japan and Australia. She has had starring roles in operas like La Boheme, Cavalleria Rusticana and The

Magic Flute and she told Noosa Today singing at a brewery was “very enjoyable”. She said: “Classical music doesn’t have to be in a formal setting. I was with Brisbane Underground Opera for a few years and I sang in caves, a Mount Isa mine, tunnels, even a prawn farm.” Judit, who gave a standing ovation performance at Noosa Chorale’s Olympic music concerts in May, is back with the Chorale this Friday and Saturday with its Majestic Mozart concerts at The J. “I’m singing one of my favourite arias in the first half, Donna Anna from Don Giovanni. The second half is the Mozart Requiem with the Chorale. I am very happy about that. The Requiem is just magnificent. It is always a gift to sing it.” Judit will also sing with Arioso this Sunday at 3pm when the group takes part in the Majestic Theatre, Pomona, 100th birthday celebrations. Copies of Pearls are available from ariosochamberensemble.com Cost is $25 and have a look at the cover painting of the quartet in action. Violinist Margaret’s daughter and talented artist Olivia Rea has produced a brilliant, evocative piece of art.

Tourism Noosa inspires Last week, Tourism Noosa hosted a breakfast for the Hastings Street Visitor Information Centre team of volunteers to connect and be inspired with a general update on Tourism Noosa and the benefits of membership. Tourism Noosa membership nanager Cathy Mitchell said the breakfast was a great opportunity to connect with our valued volunteers. “It was lovely to spend time with the volunteers and to inform them on just how broad Tourism Noosa’s reach is in member support from marketing, media opportunities, to training and more,“ she said. “It is important that our volunteers are well informed on the importance and the benefits of what a membership with Tourism Noosa entails.“ The breakfast also featured an update on the Welcome to Country visual experience which is exhibited nightly at 7pm at the Visitor Information Centre as well as an opportunity

Tourism Noosa hosted a breakfast for the Hastings Street Visitor Information Centre team of volunteers to connect and be inspired. for a new volunteer group photo. Each volunteer was presented with a Pottery for the Planet exclusive Noosa environmental keep cup as part of a partnership with Tourism Noosa which will help save 13,486

single-use coffee cups from landfill if every volunteer and Tourism Noosa staff member on shift had one coffee per day per year. “After so much uncertainty in the current world, it was nice to implement something

concrete and positive out to volunteers and the response to the breakfast and the presentations has all been very positive with volunteers stating that they were all enjoyable and informative,” Ms Mitchell said. Christine Casken, one of the volunteers said, “Merci beaucoup for inviting us to the winter breakfast, it was very enjoyable, and the presentations were interesting. My very favourite part was the gift of the coffee mug, it’s beautiful.” Wendy Cutting, one of the volunteers commented, “What a great morning we had. Thank you all for a very enjoyable morning - generous breakfast, good company, and fun in the park for the group photo.“ “Well worth the wait. Volunteers now have a much better understanding of what a Tourism Noosa membership involves and how they can make known and support the wide variety of products and services offered by members.“

Conservation dog Rocky to sniff out fox dens Rocky the conservation dog will be sniffing out fox dens this month as part of an expanded Coastal Fox Control Program. Rocky and his handler Tom Garrett will survey coastal areas south of the Maroochy River to detect fox dens between September 10 and September 27 after working in areas north of the Maroochy River. Sunshine Coast Council Environment Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said the program had achieved extremely positive results during its six years. “In order to carry out his important work, Rocky has been granted an exemption to en-

ter a prohibited zone in an effort to protect our native wildlife,” Cr Suarez said. “This control program plays an important part in protecting our endangered and threatened species and we’re seeing more native fauna since the program started in 2015. “More than 9100 native small mammal species, 25,200 bird species, 8540 reptile species including turtles and 560 native macropods have been saved since 2015 according to fox diet studies conducted on the Sunshine Coast. “We cannot do this work without our com-

munity. We rely on you to report fox sightings and we appreciate your continued support to protect our native species.” The control program reduces fox predation on vulnerable populations of native species, such as water mice, Eastern ground parrots, and endangered green and loggerhead turtles at the egg and hatchling stage. Once the area south of the Maroochy River is complete, survey work will extend to coastal bushland areas from Maroochy River to Peregian Springs from October 10 to November 26. Sunshine Coast Council, Queensland

Parks and Wildlife Service, Coolum and North Shore Coast Care and Noosa Council will work together to carry out the program in the northern section of the region. More information about the program is available on council’s website. Residents near the control areas will be notified. Control areas included in the program will be clearly identified by signage at all beach entrances. To keep your pets safe, please ensure they do not roam into control areas. If you spot a suspected fox den in the program area, report it to council on 5475 7272.

Island delights Technically part of Australia but a long way from it, Christmas Island is a natural wonder and its unique fauna have been the subject of more than one Sir David Attenborough documentary. Jessica Drake, a wildlife specialist and photographer, will take you on the journey that she took to view the spectacular annual Red Crab migration and breeding event. The talk will also showcase the less well-known but just as intriguing endemic species to be found on

the island as well as the unusual aspects of life on the island. Confined to this very small piece of land, a long way from anywhere, the species which live on this island are vulnerable to environmental pressures and many are endangered. Efforts are in place to try to manage the threats to these endangered species but it’s difficult to get enough resources to such a remote location. Hopefully this island paradise can be protected and nurtured as it deserves to be. Come along to learn more about the en-

demic species of Christmas Island and the threats to these species on Friday 24 September at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville, where the forum starts at 10:30am and coffee is available at 10 am. Entry is $5 by tap & go at the door. Registration is essential and the link is found on the NPA website: noosaparks.org.au/ friday-environment-forum/ Bird Observers meet at the carpark of the NPA Environment Centre at 8:30 am.

ROAR-some Sunshine Beach, looking north to Noosa Head. 249721

Sunshine on walk By Erle Levey Sunshine ... it was nearly too far away in those early days of Noosa. Beach sand would half cover the thin strip of bitumen that was Hastings Street. Yet in the late 1960s our main focus was the road around to Little Cove and Noosa National Park. We would sleep in the car after days of exploring the surf anywhere from First Point around to Tea-Tree Bay. Malibu boards and the new V-shapes were all the go. On the other hand, the road around to Sunshine Beach was like a day trip. The gravel streets, a shop and the heavy ocean swells breaking on the miles and miles of golden sands. That was what the area was first known as ... the Golden Beach at Noosa. How it has changed. How Duke St has changed. Back then it was the general store and a couple of houses. We have also seen the rise of neighbouring Sunrise Beach, plus the development of the sporting and schools precinct. What doesn’t change is the look and feel of the place. Early in 2020, as the restrictions of the first Covid-19 lockdown eased, we were about to start out on the second leg of our coastal walk from Noosa Heads to Caloundra Head. About 100km along some amazing Sunshine Coast beaches and pathways. The first leg was through Noosa National Park, starting at the eastern end of Hastings Street and finishing at the northern part of Sunshine Beach. The plan was to do anywhere between 8km and 20km a day so as to explore the coastline and see it from a different perspective. Today, we are heading out from the central park next to Sunshine Beach Surf Club. Sunshine, especially the northern end, reminds you how good some of the architecture is. It also reminds you how good this walk is. It’s world-class. Like the famed Cinque Terre walk in Italy. Interesting, accessible, surprising, spectacular ... and all within reasonable distances. You can walk 10-12km a day and find a place to rest for the night. Double it to 20-30km if you like. Whereas Cinque Terre is rugged cliffs dropping down to the sea, terraced farms and centuries-old villages, the Sunshine Coastal Pathway takes you along an even more ancient landscape but with some great selections of good streets and good houses. Cutting edge designs by Kerry Hill Architects and Noel Robinson Architects that have been recognised not only for the style and the build but the way they relate with the environment. The shopping centre in Duke Street is bigger than our first visit in late 1968. Yet it still has an intimate feel. It’s where locals meet, where visitors gather. In the early 1980s Sunshine had taken on quite a free-wheeling character. When the surf club was rebuilt, it created new demand and the open beaches had lifesaving patrols. 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 September, 2021

Surfing at Sunshine Beach. 249721

Duke St shops in Sunshine Beach. 249721

Gastons was upstairs and later became Cafe des Amis. There was a surf shop, and a bakery that was a patisserie during the day and served pizzas at night. Sunshine has come into its own as a village everyone can walk to. The surf club and central parkland underpins much of the community feel. It’s probably the ideal community with ocean beaches to the east and national park to the north and west. Sunshine has a wonderful look and feel. At any time you are probably no more than 500m from the natural environment, not just manmade parks and recreation areas. Much credit must go to the Noosa Shire Council in the mid-1980s for ensuring the National Park remained intact and not opened up to further development from the southern end. The trees have grown and softened the landscape. Sunshine Beach shows people will always be lured by its wonderful natural features but also that village feel that offers privacy to people from all around Australia and the world.

Sunshine always been that ‘other’ spot - less protected than Noosa Heads. People can escape to it, do business in shorts and T-shirt, walk down to the restaurants or the surf club. Today we intend to reach Peregian Beach, the last of Noosa’s eastern beaches. It’s about 12km and most of the walk will be on the beach but will also look to see what is happening at Sunrise before continuing to Castaways Beach, Marcus Beach and then Peregian. We have a thermos of coffee while sitting in the central park. A peaceful way to start the walk. The beach is a picture on this day. A good surf break, gentle breeze from the south-east and the sun is shining. There is a picnic lunch in the backpack, and the thought of a gelati for when we reach day’s end. Visit Adventure Sunshine Coast for detailed information on various sections of the Sunshine Coastal Pathway.

NEWS

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

Ligurian Lucio’s in Noosa By Phil Jarratt Back in the 1980s, when we all thought we were bullet-proof, I used to indulge in fairly regular long Friday lunches with my colleagues at The Bulletin magazine in Sydney. On at least two occasions that I can recall – there may have been others that I can’t – our editor David Dale led a small group of us to a newish Italian restaurant in Paddington called Lucio’s, where the food was only surpassed by the atmosphere created by Lucio Galletto and his wife Sally. It was a tremendously convivial place of food, wine, conversation and laughter, while surrounded by the works of great Australian artists which filled the walls. I moved on to Queensland not long after this time, but my friend Dale stayed on and became obsessed with Lucio’s, travelling with the restaurateur to his home country on Italy’s Ligurian coast several times and eventually writing four books about the family and their passion for good food. And it was Dale who tipped me off a month or so ago that Lucio’s was coming to Noosa. If you’re a former Sydney foodie now living here – and they are thick on the ground – this will be good news indeed. But Lucio’s Marina, opening on the Noosa Marina in November, will be missing the ingredient that is Lucio himself, at least for now. Son Matteo, who will be at the helm of the new venture, alongside his sister Michela and wife Dieuwke Albertsma, is hopeful that he can entice his parents, who closed their flagship Paddington establishment early this year, to retire to Noosa, where Lucio could relax and play occasional host at the restaurant that will bear his name. But both Matteo and Michela, who was still in Covid quarantine the day I dropped by the Marina site for a chat, have the restaurant business running through their veins. David Dale told me: “Lucio used to say, ‘I grew up between the tables of my family’s restaurant, but I don’t know if I want that for my children. Running a restaurant is a hard life.’ Dale continues: “Lucio started working as a waiter at the age of 14 in his Uncle Ciccio’s trattoria, Capannina Ciccio, in Bocca di Magra on the Ligurian coast. He never made his children work in his own restaurant, but actually, Matteo and Michela did grow up between the tables. A couple of decades ago, when I was prone to enjoy the occasional long lunch, I would see them arrive in Lucio’s after school. And as they became adults, they decided they wanted to work in their parents’ restaurant, at least part-time.” Says Matteo: “I was always intimidated by Lucio’s. The first time I worked at our second restaurant in Double Bay I was just 16 and I spilled a glass of red wine over a lady’s white dress. Then, not too long after that I went to

Lucio’s Paddington. work in Italy at Capannina Ciccio, where I was still a nervous klutz. But the more I learned, the more I felt drawn to it. It was good to do it that way because I had the time to appreciate what makes a restaurant successful. As a kid I looked at other options but I really couldn’t see an alternative career, and when I left school a few really close friends also went into restaurants, so that helped.” Says David Dale: “I’ve watched Michela grow from a shy kid to a confident hostess. I’ve watched Matteo grow from a slightly hyperactive kid to a charming sommelier. Lucio never knew much about Italian wines, but Matteo filled the gap. Over the past 10 years I’ve learned more about wine from Matteo than from any other restaurateur. When Lucio had a day off, the children provided the sense of security that customers needed -- a sense that the family was maintaining quality control, even if the maestro was away. I think it’s a good thing that the NSW lockdown has now forcibly separated them from their parents because they will make their own way, benefitting from Lucio’s advice long-distance rather than having Lucio and Sally looking over their shoulders.” Although he has had a previous success with opening a restaurant by himself – Capriccio in Sydney’s inner west – for most of the past decade Matteo and Michela have run the dayto-day business of Lucio’s, with Lucio hosting and Sally back of house. It was there that he met and married Dieuwke, newly arrived from the Netherlands via the Cordon Bleu school in

Picture: SUPPLIED Paris, who was hired as pastry chef. When Lucio announced privately his intention to close the Paddington restaurant, Matteo and Dieuwke, now with baby Anna, decided to make a clean break from Sydney and open a restaurant in a rural setting. They looked at the scenic NSW south coast, then looked even closer at Byron Bay before deciding that Noosa offered more of what they were looking for. But even then there was a false start. Matteo: “We were close to taking the former Wasabi site in Quamby Place. It was great but the rent was going to make it difficult. Then we found this on Noosa Marina (the former Riverdeck) and we knew immediately it was just right.” Originally there was no intention to call it Lucio’s, but Matteo flew his parents to Noosa to see the place and, just a week or two after the news of Lucio’s Paddington closure had been released, everywhere they ate former customers were coming up to their table to wish him well in his retirement. Says Matteo: “It suddenly seemed silly not to capitalise on the name, but also the kind of restaurant we were starting to envisage was something Dad and I had been talking about for years, and it related as much to Capannina Ciccio, which the family has run for 70 years, as it did to Lucio’s. Capannina Ciccio’s signature dishes were always seafood pastas, and it’s a trattoria on a river just like this one. And it’s been expanded into spaces beyond the old traditional restaurant, with a deck and a bar,

which is what we can do here. Our fine dining restaurant will seat just 60, although the space will hold twice that, but we’re putting in a much bigger kitchen, cocktail bar and indoor/ outdoor snack bar.” Matteo was delighted when I explained there were even more parallels between Noosa and Bocca di Magra, which is just 30 minutes along the bay from Viareggio, the surfing capital of Italy, where I have spent many fun mornings in the surf followed by leisurely six-course lunches in the beach cafes. And I’m looking forward to some similar experiences in Tewantin this summer. As Lucio’s Marina starts to take shape, Dieuwke is already underway with a dry-aged fish program. She says: “It’s going to be focusing on the fish charcuterie, using kingfish, tuna, swordfish. We’ll be doing a swordfish smoky bacon. Essentially, it’s salting and curing, then using traditional Italian charcuterie recipes, but with seafood.” This excites my palate, but Lucio traditionalists will be pleased to hear that the signature tagliolini alla granseola will be a feature of the fine dining menu, and a feature wall in that part of the restaurant will house a selection of the celebrated art that used to hang in Paddington. Says Matteo: “I think it’s naïve to think you can clone a restaurant, but the things that made Lucio’s successful – the hospitality, the honesty, the produce, the ideals – are what we want to put into this place.” Friday, 17 September, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 31

Climate implications for Noosa We are writing about the recent IPCC report and its implications for Noosa Council. The UN Secretary-General described the report - the most exhaustive and far-reaching published so far - as a “code red for humanity” and that the “alarms bells are deafening”. Further, he said that we are perilously close to hitting 1.5 degrees of global heating in the near term, and only by urgently stepping up our efforts and pursuing the most ambitious path can we avoid exceeding the 1.5 degree threshold. It’s clear that even the 1.1 degree rise experienced so far has been catastrophic for many world-wide. Here in Noosa we were lucky last year to avoid serious impacts from bushfires, but we can expect more such events of an increasingly disastrous nature. Severe flooding and sea level rises are increasingly likely. Noosa Council led the way in Queensland by declaring a Climate Emergency in 2019, and we recognise the efforts made by Council in reducing emissions, as well as participating in the Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership, joining with other councils Australiawide in implementing emission-busting solutions to the crisis. Yet, in light of the IPCC report and Council’s own goal of zero emissions by 2026 as part of the Zero Emissions Organisational Strategy, more bold and visionary steps need to be taken. Science tells us that there remains a narrow path to avoiding climate catastrophe, but only through immediate, deep and sustained emissions reductions - in other words, business as usual is no longer an option, and delays in acting on the Climate Emergency are not acceptable. Speed is of the essence. We ask therefore that Council react with the sense of urgency that the situation requires, and consider how some of Council’s existing strategies could be improved upon and expedited: A change of emphasis in funding transport infrastructure, with more consideration given to active transport, is required. Council’s most recent budget is skewed heavily in favour of motor transport, and infrastructure for walking and cycling is well-neglected in comparison. It is noted that Council’s Cycling and Walking Strategy has a 10 to 20 year timeframe, which hardly reflects the sense of urgency needed. A congestion tax, parking fees and other disincentives to motor vehicle use are needed. Drivers should be charged in a way that closely reflects the actual cost of driving - significantly contributing to emissions, not to mention the cost of congestion, air pollution, road building and maintenance, injury and death. Additional revenue could then be spent improving the public transport and the cycle/walking network. A total rethink of public transport is essential. With improved rail services likely in time for the Olympic Games in 2032, now is the time to liaise with the State Government to develop and implement strategies where public transit becomes the dominant mode in SEQ generally and Noosa in particular. The Sunshine Coast Council is developing a Mass Transit Project which Noosa could emulate, given that the present Noosa Transport Strategy hardly reflects the scale or overwhelming need for urgency that the situation demands. Ideally, the hierarchy of transport options

In a dire situation, such as we face, this should be seen as a priority and quickly facilitated. To help reach net zero, there should be a dramatic expansion of current tree-planting programmes. Increasing the range of mass planting locations, and including urban pathways in Council’s strategy, could tie in with walking/cycling infrastructure providing much needed shade, along with rest benches and water accessibility. Council could establish Streetcare Groups, similar to Bushcare Groups, where residents could be involved in revegetating and caring for local pathways. Most importantly, Council needs to gain community support to bring about the drastic changes needed in our lives so that net zero can be quickly achieved. There is little on Council’s website or in promotional media mentioning the Climate Emergency or Code Red, let alone any indication that urgent action is vital. Promoting an understanding that decisive action now will help avert catastrophe later is essential. In a time of looming crisis, the need to act accordingly is overwhelming.

Loss of trees a concern The entrance to the Noosa Waters canal between Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club and Chaplin Park is a beautiful setting fringed by native trees and plants which provides an animal habitat. On Noosa Show Day 10 September I came across tree contractors chainsawing canal bank trees beside the NYRC. When asked, I was told by the contractors that they had been instructed to lop the trees bordering the car park to free up more room for parking of yachts. This vegetation softens the built form of the club building, asphalt car park and concrete canal walls. One of the contractors told me they weren’t removing the trees as it appeared but reducing them to 1.5 metre stumps. At this

point three trees had been lopped. The workers were already lopping branches of the next tree in line which has a possum box in it. I was shaken by this environmental damage. The Yacht Club manager arrived on the scene and was unimpressed with my concerns. Adjacent to this location I saw a group of people looking up at a fig tree and then I spotted a possum with a baby on its back. They were teetering on the end of a branch while being attacked by a pair of currawongs. Later I walked past the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club and noted the work had been discontinued leaving the three lopped trees. I hope the contractors weren’t just on a lunch break. I am writing this two hours after the event and hope that work has not resumed. I am deeply concerned that mature trees providing a habitat and visual amenity to the public could be lopped for the convenience of the NYRC. I wonder if the provision of bordering vegetation was part of the original planning permit for the Club construction. I hope the Noosa Council shares my concern and didn’t sanction this destruction. Linda Thurmer, Noosaville

World performance On the world stage, Australia was near the top of nations for Olympic and Paralympic Games’ performances. On the world stage Australia is listed as 56th out of 61 nations on the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI). How good’s Australia’s performances? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Resident parking permits Noosa residents provide the social fabric of the shire, volunteer to maintain many of the social services, events and community organisations, and, oh yes, pay the rates and fees which have helped make the shire a popular and classy tourist destination. You’d think we’d be more appreciated. Instead, many feel like second-class citizens in your own shire. In the

rush to provide ever more for our visitors, we need to consider the amenity of our residents. It’s time for council to instigate a free resident parking permit system. Fortunately, Cr Lorentson has publicly declared herself an advocate for permits, will hopefully help devise a scheme in conjunction with council staff and the community, and will then bring a plan before council for approval. With Tourism Noosa now marketing Noosa as a drive destination, it’s time residents had visitor privileges to attractions in our own shire. In other words, give us a reward for creating and maintaining the liveable and visitable Noosa that we all enjoy today. Instead of us visiting and taking friends to our attractions, only to find nowhere to park, why not provide us with parking stickers valid for designated locations? Rod Ritchie, President Cooroy Area Residents Association

Bat preference The Noosa Council has received a $22,000 grant for bat mitigation, however, they do not intend to use any of this money on the Wallace Park roost, even though the sprinkler system they installed does not work. Many of us have have asked that the trees be reduced in height to reduce the roosting area, but the Council just say “that won’t work” although they have never tried this approach. After a three month reprieve, we know that the bats will return in huge numbers for around another nine months. The roof of my outdoor living area has been completely ruined by the bats, and unable to be cleaned - not an attractive sight when sitting trying to relax or eating meals. The Council does have a responsibility to manage the impact of wildlife on humans and more so in this case as they actually planted the trees about which we are complaining. Obviously they value wildlife more than humans. Norah Lilley, Noosaville Continued page 34

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Estimates 2021 Budget Spring has gloriously sprung, heralding new growth, hope and an end to a month of challenges, from Covid lockdowns through to that favourite ‘Estimates Hearings’, or what at times it feels like ‘guestimates’ Hearings! For those unfamiliar, these follow on from the State Budget and many late nights analysing Service Delivery Statements. Over two weeks, MP’s put questions to the Ministers of each portfolio, followed by the tabling of Committee reports with MPs’ Statement of Reservations included. Finally, the delivery of speeches at the following Parliamentary sitting giving voice to budget glee and pleas, which can be found at https://fb.watch/7SP0AOQIht/ As experienced over many months in communities across QLD and Australia, Covid disrupted the hearings, ultimately leading to my attendance at the Legal Affairs and Safety Committee Hearing via Zoom to ask questions of the Attorney-General and the Minister for Police. These included around funding for domestic violence (DV) victims and their families, with prioritisation of emergency and affordable housing essential. Additionally, how funds From page 32

Hinterland STA Last night 30 cars with 10 tents arrived at the party house (which sleeps 20) next door to my home in Cooroibah. There are now over 50 people partying in a once-quiet, semirural area.The owner rented out the place to 30 drunk young men one recent weekend as south-east Queensland went into a hard lockdown. On Monday morning he was there cleaning up after them, having travelled from his home in Brisbane to the Noosa hinterland. At the moment, next door looks like an outdoor music festival. For Airbnb enthusiasts and negative-gearing property investors, Byron is fast becoming overcrowded and overpriced. Now, the affluent speculators of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are looking a little further north for desirable regional locations. The coastal resort town of Noosa itself has long been on the Anglo-Australian, upper middle-class radar, but now these same people are starting to buy up land in the relatively untouched hinterland. So far, we don’t yet have the visible disparity of wealth present everywhere you turn in Byron Bay. We are not yet inundated with Instagram ‘influencers’ or Hollywood megastars. But it is coming. The investors are now looking at the place where I live. For them, the Noosa hinterland is still ‘cheap’ by Byron

for refuges and shelters are allocated as there has been only CPI increases over some years with children of victims also needing support and services to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse. The Attorney-General has offered to work closely with me on this. Questions on Notice targeted funding to address voters’ privacy of information and other misleading election practices, as well as the adequate handling of complaints about public officials, government decisions, and electoral boundaries. A list of these have been included in the 360 update sandybolton.com/estimates2021-2022-summary-2-september-2021/ Within the budgeted increase for police personnel, the Minister for Police did not commit specifically to our request for extra permanent resources in our community and Teewah to see an end to the dangerous and disgraceful behaviour that is impacting our environment, residents and visitors, however we have reiterated the urgent need. Other budgetary questions included the importance of requested training for our SES personnel and volunteers who do an incredible job selflessly giving of their time to keep our community safe. Bushand Sydney standards. And they’re already in my street. We now have a huge unregulated STA (short term accommodation) party house next door to us, while the owner lives in Brisbane and rents it out to large groups every weekend and holiday period. His application was knocked back by Noosa Council many months ago, and still he continues to rent out his house. The minuscule fines this toothless council sends him (when they finally get around to it) do nothing to deter him from raking in thousands of dollars every week. The police do nothing about noise complaints or breaches of Covid regulations. He - like many property investors - seems to be above the law. This type of inaction by councils and state governments breeds resentment, anger and eventual despair among long-term residents. Meanwhile, there is a rental crisis in the Noosa Shire. Lack of housing affordability, soaring rents and homelessness on the entire Sunshine Coast continues to rise among families who have lived here for generations, while short term accommodation flourishes and grows. Noosa can’t find waitstaff, chefs, cleaners and retail workers. The people who fill those jobs can’t afford to live here anymore. They are moving away, or living in their cars, caravans, couch surfing or in shelters. People are frightened of their rent being increased still further or the house they’re in being sold and converted into an STA.

fire resources, pilots for that LAT (the large air tanker that had down time during the Fraser fires from a lack of replacement pilots) - and additional resourcing for youth crime were delivered either verbally or via a Question on Notice. Unlike previous years, I did not attend other Committee Hearings due to the emergencies here at home and constraints within the Estimates Hearings process which, like the Committee process, is fundamentally flawed. Instead, I submitted Questions on Notice to the relevant Committees and 16 Ministers, which were not accepted. This has now been added to the list of reasons a review is needed to make Committee and Estimates processes more effective in holding Government to account. Detailed research undertaken by two of my parliamentary interns outlines how the Government could ‘tweak’ the current format to promote greater scrutiny and efficiency. This information was tabled during my Estimates Speech, located at parliament.qld.gov.au/ Work-of-the-Assembly/Tabled-Papers/Online-Tabled-Papers Previous requests to the Premier and the In the village of Tewantin, 10 minutes from my home, 23 per cent of homes are short term rentals, and the suburb is not even near the beach. Oceanfront homes in the affluent Eastern Beaches suburbs of Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Noosa Heads stand empty all year while others are filled with holidaying, drunken, noisy arrivals from Brisbane and the southern states, even during Covid restrictions. What happens to our sense of community and the impact on the biodiversity of our natural environment if this is now the norm? There is a particular form of torture that occurs when you live next to a party house and wait with trepidation for Friday afternoon, when the SUVs and trailers begin to arrive, spewing forth hordes of people intent on staying up until the small hours around the outdoor fire pit, dive-bombing in the pool, drinking, screaming and shouting, playing doof-doof music and terrifying whatever wildlife is still left in the area. The torture is in not knowing what you’re going to get each weekend. Will they stay up until 2am? 3am? Dawn? Will they smash empty bottles and whoop uncontrollably all night? The trauma is then in trying to recover after they leave, hungover and revving their cars up the long driveway on Sunday mornings. Cherishing your few days of peace and the wind in the trees and birdsong until the strangers next door start up once again. We bought our place on five acres in mid-

Speaker for a review have been unsuccessful, however we do have an upcoming panel in which we can further demonstrate why the review is essential, including that it has been 10 years since the last one was undertaken. As one of this four-person panel, I look forward to the questions especially the ‘whys’! Estimates 2021/22, as last year, was not easy, and the impacts from Covid is apparent in every realm. As resources are stretched to manage the pandemic, the reality is we are seeing many requests that are not considered as vital in the health and economic rebuild arenas relegated to the future. This will no doubt translate to many of these questions being revisited in 2022, with ongoing frustrations for our community which I shared in the Public Health Extension of Provisions Bill speech, which can be found at tv.parliament.qld.gov. au/?reference=0Mba20210902_113230 As always, stay updated by subscribing to our monthly newsletter, and join us on Facebook! Until next month, enjoy the spring weather and all the beauty, and sneezes, that it brings! Sandy 2019. We mistakenly thought that five acres was a lot of space compared to our home on the Northern Beaches, where we’d come from, that we were now protected from neighbours and noise. We never thought that we would be dealing with inner-city problems in our idyllic, rural paradise, backing onto hectares of National Park. We also spent a year in Byron previously, renting a place with views of the iconic lighthouse and the Julian Rocks. We knew Byron was out of our reach when neighbouring homes began selling in the high millions and the traffic started wearing us down. Here, all our permanent neighbours have lived here for decades, some for 40 years. They are helpful to each other, kind, tight knit. They respect their local environment and the native animals and birds we all share this place with. Not so for the absent landowners who rent out their homes to large groups and only come back to check on their climbing assets, after the hardworking cleaners and gardeners have finished mopping up the inevitable mess. A Paris court recently fined Airbnb $9.6 million for illegal listings in the city. (techcrunch.com/2021/07/01/paris-court-finesairbnb-9-6-million-for-illegal-listings/) Maybe our own councillors and MPs need to think hard about the future of our precious regional communities.

Empowering new show Spring is coming and another great show is about to open at Noosa Arts Theatre. Most times when a story or play starts with “a dark and stormy night”, there’s horror coming. Not the case with Pygmalion, the dark and stormy night ushers in linguistic hijinks and class commentary, along with the empowering story of a determined young woman. When Professor Higgins, a scientist of phonetics, and Colonel Pickering, a linguist of Indian dialects, meet in the rain one night at Covent Garden, the first bets the other that he can, in a matter of months, convince London high society that the Cockney-speaking flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, can be transformed into a woman as poised and well-spoken as a duchess. And thus begins the enchanting story that has charmed audiences for over 100 years, especially with a superb cast, great set and fabulous costumes. This play is still as relevant today as it was back in 1911 when it premiered, as it depicts our main character, Eliza Doolittle, proving that with grit and determination, she can become a successful, independent woman, without being manipulated or bullied by a man. Director Liza Park, has updated the setting to ’50s London, instead of the Victorian era. Pygmalion at Noosa Arts Theatre boasts a strong cast, with Rachel Fentiman playing Eliza opposite her real-life husband, Howard Tampling as Professor Higgins. Revered Sunshine Coast actress and playwright Rainee Skinner will charm you as Mrs Higgins, while Jackson O’Sullivan plays the gentlemanly Colonel Pickering with aplomb. Deputy Mayor, and ardent thespian Frank Wilkie, is the irascible Alfred Doolittle. The theatre’s resident genius wardrobe expert, Margaret Courtney, is channelling

Theatre toasts centenary By Jacqueline Trewin Queensland Federal MP Llew O‘Brien and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton are some of the distinguished guests attending The Majestic Theatre’s final 100th birthday celebration this weekend. The much-anticipated community event to be held on Sunday 19 September will see the heritage-listed theatre come alive with an exciting line-up of acts to honour the grand old dame. With the laying of two stars on the sidewalk, including a champagne toast with birthday cake, the event promises to be the cultural highlight on the Sunshine Coast, if not the world stage. Vice president Alison Hadfield said the finale would have more of a cultural theme than the previous three events held this year in celebrating the theatre’s centenary. “We’ll be featuring resident organist and icon Ron West playing the rare 1937 Compton theatre organ during the screening of a short Laurel and Hardy Film,” Ms Hadfield said. “The organ’s pretty special as it’s one of only four in the world,” she said. Following major flooding that hit the theatre 10 years ago, the previous organ was extensively damaged before the Linnett family from Brisbane (who’ll also attend the finale) kindly donated the organ, which took more than six and half years for Don Clark and the late John Brooks to restore. Other highlights of the event will include renowned Brisbane organist David Bailey who is an established player with the highly acclaimed Theatre Organ Society of Australia. “David’s the only other organist in Australia who can accompany silent films,” Ms Hadfield said. “We’ll also be having our resident backup organist Chris Rose playing a beautiful white grand piano owned by Noosa Jazz Society,” she said. Other performances will feature the Arioso Chamber Ensemble - the only baroque group on the Sunshine Coast including Hungarian soprano Judit Molnar, Margaret Caley (violin), Belinda Manwaring (cello) and Janet Brewer (harpsichord). Performing to critical acclaim at the 2016 New England Bach Festival, the group will be playing pieces from their latest CD, Pearls, featuring classic baroque arias and instrumental music. “We feel very privileged to be playing at this special event. We’ve played at the Majestic Theatre at least three times before and the acoustics are excellent, so when we’re onstage we don’t need microphones as everyone can hear us clearly,” Ms Brewer said. Ms Hadfield says the quality of the acoustics could be attributed to the building’s masonry, but also thanks to government grants. “It’s a fibre cement construction, which gives it a fabulous sound. We also managed to secure a grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF) for a brand-new digital sound system,” she said. Noosa Council also provided an $11,500 grant last year towards renovations of the theatre. “Another grant was for new solar panels from Celtic Solar Electrical, which helped us save thousands in electrical bills, plus we’ve got new air conditioning, thanks to Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR),” Ms Hadfield said. But Ms Hadfield said while the grants provided much-needed support, it’s the community effort of non-profit organisation, Pomona Arts Inc which has also played a significant role. “We’ve managed to get ourselves through COVID without it affecting us too much financially,” Ms Hadfield said. “We’ve got a good core team of executives who work well together, including our treasurer Michael Egan who works hard to ensure management is on target.” “The theatre needs people who care enough about it, but it does sit in a vulnerable state as it’s community-owned, run by a volunteer committee,” she said. The previous owner and life-long silent film 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 September, 2021

The Majestic Theatre in Pomona is the longest running authentic silent movie theatre in the world.

The 1937 Compton organ is connected to 750 organ pipes including many other instruments. buff Ron West, who helped put the theatre on the map, said he’s looking forward to the event this Sunday. “The birthday finale is going to be something quite amazing. Whoever thought when I started playing at The Majestic it would end up something like this?” Mr West said. “I didn’t think there’d be much interest in silent film, but it’s grown out of proportion. Even a friend from Brisbane told me over the weekend there were two commercial cinemas running silent films there, which I find quite astounding.” “There’s an increasing number of people interested in silent movies and every Saturday we always have a different audience at The Majestic,” he said. Mr West credits local businessman Mr Ernie Bazzo who bought the theatre from Clara McDonald in 1931, when it was a vibrant social hall screening silent films, for the theatre’s survival. “Back in those days, Ernie Bazzo teamed up with a couple of mates in Pomona and bought the necessary equipment to install talking pictures, which was a big thing back then,” Mr West said. “After WW2 when television was introduced, many country halls closed down because they could no longer compete, but Ernie was determined for Pomona to have a theatre and through thick and thin, he kept it going once a fortnight.”

Pictures: THE MAJESTIC THEATRE, POMONA

Bygone but not forgotten, the theatre is the only one in the world to continuously screen silent films.

Mr West said it was still running like that in 1973 when David Stratton telephoned him about getting a Sunshine Coast film festival off the ground. “David called me and said, “Westie, you were keen on holding that film festival on the Sunshine Coast. Are you still interested?“ Mr West said. “He said, “You’ve got 10 days to find a venue plus a $400 budget for advertising. Here’s your chance, boy! Get moving!” Mr West said. Mr West scoured the area and had countless rejections until somebody mentioned a cinema in Pomona: The Majestic. He bought the theatre from the owner, Harold (the late Ernie Bazzo’s son) who reluctantly agreed but Ron persisted: the deal was sealed. Despite its success, the theatre has had its share of trouble. In 1988, it was almost history until a phone call provided a lifeline. “A lady from the Hyatt rang and wanted me to run a silent film. I ran Son of the Sheik to a busload of travel agents. The word spread like wildfire and it’s been totally silent ever since,” Mr West said. Thirty years later and with the theatre in need of restoration, Ron surrendered The Majestic to community group Pomona Progress Art Tourism Inc (now Pomona Inc) in 2006 when it underwent a major refurbishment with assistance from Queensland Heritage Council and Noosa Shire Council before reopening in mid-2007 as an all-purpose entertainment venue.

Former Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance president, urban designer and architect Phil Smith said the theatre’s structure is unique. “Older public buildings like this are becoming rarer on the coast,” Mr Smith said. “They’re culturally important and help to reinforce who we are. They tell us stories about our cities and towns and create diversity because they’re rare, older timber buildings. They’re also important venues for local musicians, film-makers and artists as they’re fairly flexible bases which you can use for a range of things,” he said. Ms Hadfield, who has recently co-authored a book about the theatre, entitled, 100 Years of Majestic Memories with Kathy Lynch, will be presenting a digital slideshow of historical images at the grand finale, depicting the theatre throughout the decades. Ms Hadfield says the new bar built by president Vince Scheenhouwer would boast an inviting area for guests in time for the event. “We’ll have a much better space for people to sit, chat and have a drink before the show without all the noise travelling through to the hall. And it’s also much safer for social distancing. We’re really excited it’s going to be open for the 100th birthday grand finale,” Ms Hadfield said.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

The floating high-rise on the river.

Pictures: SUPPLIED

Restaurant deck.

Noosa Boathouse redux Trevor Pepys reviews Noosa Boathouse Lest anyone think that Trev has run out of restaurants to review, let me explain that, au contraire, there are many discoveries still to be made, not to mention new places coming on stream as others depart, but Noosa being the magnet that it is, sometimes visitors insist on going to a favourite. Such was the case recently when Gold Coast visitors insisted that nothing could surpass a sundowner at the Sunset Bar followed by an upmarket fish and chips down below. No problem here, Trev could go with the flow, and as regular readers can attest, he is a bit of a fan, having some time ago realised that the only place to truly appreciate the hideous floating thingie is from inside looking out. Same same if you’re ever invited to a cocktail party at an upper level of the infamous Chest of Drawers. But Trev digresses, as he does. These were good old mates from several lifetimes, and the last time we had bro’d down over seafood was on a grungy pier near Johor Bahru’s film industry complex where we ate mud crabs with our fingers and guzzled jugs of Tiger beer. So clearly they were ready for a touch of luxe. The sun having set over the river, we descended to our table where the blokes turned the dial up a little with a round of Peroni ($9.50) while the gals settled into a bottle of Dal Zotto Pinot Grigio ($46) and we all munched on

a round of charred garlic and herb ciabatta ($13) while we perused the menu. Our guests opted for the New England seafood chowder ($26) and the Knobby snapper ($42) off the fish of the day board, while Trev also went to the board for the ocean trout ($38). The missus contented herself with the chowder and the promise of a nibble on Trev’s trout, if you’ll pardon the expression. Well, the chowder was a star, deserving of another round of ciabatta for dunking in the big bowls of delicious thick (but not too thick) broth in which swam big chunks of Fraser Island spanner crab and smoked ocean trout, accompanied by sweet corn and prosciutto. Yum. While we waited for the fish specials to arrive we moved to a bottle of Mountadam Shiraz ($48) which might not normally be paired with seafood, but rules are for fools, and it was superb. The knobby snapper likewise, grilled to perfection and accompanied by a green papaya salad, compressed pineapple, chilli and lime dressing. A simple dish done well. The same could not be said of Trev’s ocean trout, which was bland and somewhat lost under a sea of Penang curry, tomato and Gympie beans. Not bad, but no cigar. The verdict: As Trev noted after another revisit a few weeks ago, no establishment can hope to please you to the same degree every time. But the Boathouse lived up to its considerable reputation for three out of four of us, and 75

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Best time of the year What a beautiful time of the year! Right now has to be the best time to be living on the Sunshine Coast. The daytime temperatures are perfect and the weather, despite a few winds, is also magical! It’s a great time to be an angler and, for those on the water this weekend, the conditions didn’t get much better. We had light swell and winds and with the new moon spring tides behind us. The tides made for a more favorable bar crossing with more water under boats gunning for the first light bite. There was also a competition on which made for more traffic at the ramps. Once out, anglers fished in close around Sunshine for a mixed bag of the usual smaller snapper and sweetlip. A few cobia in the 5-7kg size range were also picking up pilchard floaters. With light winds and current those on anchor who had a light burley trail going were rewarded with pan sized snapper throughout the water column. Sweetlip and small tuskies were also around and taking small 4 inch soft plastics like the Gulp 4 inch minnow. Given the conditions, many anglers went wide to the Banks and the Hards for some deep water angling. Out wide is where the bigger snapper are holding anglers were landing fish in excess of 7kg. Most fish taking big baits of mullet fillet and squid on 7/0 paternoster rigs and snell rigs. The beauty of a snelled rig is you will generally only get one good fish. If big fish are about you should drop to a single hook or run the risk of getting sharked if they are about. Off the beaches, whiting are starting to become more frequent. This popular target species is perfect with ultra-light spin and alvey

rods like the Gary Howard estuary 9. This rod is lightweight and screams fun, fun, fun! Being a fiberglass rod its soft action ensures that even the smallest fish feels massive and is the perfect summertime rod. Other fish to target are bream and dart around the rocky areas like the middle rock wall on the beach and the river mouth rocks. Inside the estuary, flatties, bream and trevally are feeding on the baitfish pushed in on the spring tides. This makes now a great time to fish the flats and the run out tide. Use three inch power bait minnows on suitable jig heads and flick these along the drop offs for the perfect match the hatch profile. With the lack of rains and nice clear salty water mangrove jacks will soon be on the prowl around rock bars, rock walls and jetties. The new Jackall Squirrel, red dog diving lure will be a big hit for snag bashers this year. Run this with 20-40lb FC Rock leader and hang on! Lastly, the freshwater will be more active as the warmer daytime temps continue to heat the edges. The bottlebrush are in full flower and if you see any hanging over the edges it is always worth putting a cast or two directly under them. Otherwise, if new to freshwater don’t forget your SIPS permit and take a troll with a Zerek Tango shad out the back. These little lures draw lots of attention from any passing bass. Now, for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Paul spreads golf love Paul Grant’s been playing golf for 40 years – and he enjoys it so much he’s determined to share the love with the rest of his family. He’s encouraged his two talented sons to play the game. Eldest son Adam is now one of the stars at Noosa – a low marker who’s notched up three holes-in-one, including an albatross on a par four at Victoria Park. Paul’s booked two of his grandchildren, aged six and eight, for a lesson this week with Noosa Springs teaching professional Greg Lynch. In fact his only family failure so far is his wife, who’s just not interested in the game. “I persuaded her to play in an Ambrose once and, on the last hole, she sank a 10 metre putt for our only birdie of the day,” Paul said. “But even that wasn’t enough to get her hooked.” Paul set the rest of his family a fine example on Sunday when he tallied 39 points to win the Noosa Springs Open – one of the resort’s signature events. He put the win down to a recent lesson he’d had with Lynch, who gave him a swing tip about the benefits of sweeping the ball, rather than coming down on it. “It made sense to me, and it obviously worked,” said Paul, 69, who still works in the building trade when he’s not golfing. “I hit the ball well and made some good putts.” Paul’s been a member of Noosa Springs for 12 years and plays the course three or four times a week. Runner-up was visitor David Ly, who took some consolation by snaring two Nearest the Pin prizes. Annette Philp, a 21-handicapper from Noosa Springs, won the ladies Open with 36 points. Giblett is Noosa’s runaway champion George Giblett reversed last year’s result in emphatic fashion, beating good friend Toby Harding on Saturday to win this year’s Noosa club championship. Giblett, who lost last year’s title to Harding in a playoff, shot rounds of 70, 70, 73 and 68 to record a 15-stroke win and become the club’s undisputed best player. Ian Burrough (337) won the B grade title from former rugby champion Michael O’Connor by four strokes, while in C grade Brian Priebe beat Geoff Smith on the first hole of a sudden death playoff after both golfers scored 381 for the 72-hole championship. Three tie in Cooroy Vets championship Keith Harkins shot the best round of the day, a six-over-par 76, to share the lead with two of his good mates after 36 holes in the Cooroy Veterans Club Championship last week. Harkins, with rounds of 79 and 76, completed the championship in 155 strokes – the same as Grathan Leatherbarrow (77, 78) and Andy Stewart (74, 81). The three men were scheduled to meet on the first tee at 9.15am on Tuesday for a playoff to decide the champion. They were to play holes one, 17 and 18, then go into sudden death if they were still tied. Jim Lenske was B grade champion after matching rounds of 83. He was also overall net champion. Denis Beckhaus (103, 92) won the C grade title. Tooman in the mix in Legends pro-ams Sunshine Coast-based veteran Glenn Joyner won his second straight event and Noosa’s Simon Tooman continued his run of consistent form when the national Legends Tour returned to Brisbane last week. Joyner shot five-under 67 to win the Meadowbrook Legends Pro-Am, south of Brisbane, on Tuesday, while Tooman’s two-under 70 was good enough for fifth. Three days later, Tooman fired a three-under 69 for fourth in the Mt Warren Park Legends Pro-Am. Cooroy’s greens staff on the move If you think the fairways are greener at Mt Coolum than anywhere else you may be right.

Answers in the divot TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER Divots tell us a lot about the golf swing and they can help your own game if you know what to look for. First of all, divots are a must when playing any shot with an iron. The depth of the divot, however, will vary slightly from club to club. Shorter irons, such as wedges, will create a deeper divot due to the more upright swing required. A shallower divot will occur with the longer clubs due to the naturally flatter swing. The direction of the divots in regards to the alignment of your feet will tell you whether your swing is on the correct path or not. A slice divot will be heading towards the body whereas a hook divot will be heading away from the body. And of course the ideal divot should start from just past the ball and not before it. Practice with a tee in the ground just outside the front edge of the ball to help you gauge where your divot begins. Assess what divot you consistently take and then make a time with your local PGA pro who is professionally trained to help you with the swing correction to achieve that ideal divot for your game. Good golfing.

Paul Grant and Annette Philp – winners of this week’s Noosa Springs Open. At least, the Cooroy grounds staff seem to think so. Virtually all of Cooroy’s greenkeeping staff have up and left over the past few months – and they’ve all headed for Mt Coolum. Former superintendent Todd McNamee was the first to make the move, quitting Cooroy in June to become Mt Coolum’s superintendent. Now Brendan O’Brien, who filled in for McNamee pending the appointment of a new superintendent at Cooroy, has followed his former boss to Mt Coolum. And casual greenkeeper Rex Williams has joined them. Cooroy president Greg Michael put a brave face on the exodus, thanking O’Brien and Williams for their service over the past few years, and wishing them well. “Cooroy has now seen a complete turnover of greenkeeping staff,” he said. “All permanent and casual staff that were with us at the end of 2020 have now moved on.” Warren Smith, formerly second in charge at Noosa Hills, became Cooroy’s new superintendent on August 9. Dale Scanlan, who will complete his greenkeeping apprenticeship at the end of this year, started the same day. “The club will be looking to appoint more staff in the near future as the weather warms up, the grass begins to grow and more time needs to be spent on mowers,” Mr Michael said. Noosa’s matchplay champs Dee Pugh needed 20 holes to beat Tereza Holley in Noosa Spring’s women’s matchplay final, while in the club championship matchplay title, contested by the top eight players in the stroke play club championship, teenager Maddison Kelly beat Tracey Carter 4&3 in the final.

Kim hands over reins after ace decade

Ace Kim hands over presidency Ten years at the helm of the Peregian Tennis Club has served up challenges, connections and lots of great memories for outgoing president Kim Lahey. Admittedly there are times she’d rather forget, like endlessly chasing up contractors and the on-again-off-again 2020 covid closures. But mostly there are the nuggets like seeing little kids take to tennis like ducks to water, or hearing members say how much they love the vibe at the club. At the club’s annual general meeting last week, court manager Andrew Veale said, “A very big thank you to our president Kim for all her strategic planning and implementation of club upgrades and grants over many years.“ “She is highly effective in getting tasks done and her presence on the committee will be greatly missed.”

Awarded a life membership in 2018 for service to the club, Kim has been involved there one way or another over the last 20 years since moving to Peregian Beach from Brisbane with her young family. She has organised more than $200,000 worth of facilities upgrades in the last five years, represented the club at countless meetings and functions, and established great relationships within the Peregian and local community. At the club’s AGM, Kim said it was so rewarding to be able to give back by helping to run the club over the years. Peregian Beach Community Kindy and Peregian Tennis Club were an “oasis of social community connection” so it was natural to want to give back to both local organisations over the years. Andrew echoed that sentiment.

“It is little clubs like ours who welcome everyone of all ages and stages, that really made a difference to people when they move to the area,” he said. Kim welcomed the new committee of Peter Coleman (president), Bob Tanner (vice president), Heath McOrist (treasurer), Owen Magee (secretary) Danny Tylim and Andrew Veale, saying the club was in a great position in 2021, with a record membership and 40-year track record of diligent saving. Kim said the club’s success came down to a seamless working partnership between the committee and the court manager. The club also welcomes non-members and casual players, with social competition tennis most weeknights and coach-and-play sessions most days. Visit peregiantennisclub.com.au for more information.

Thunder win two clashes By Randall Woodley “I keep telling myself, improve. Improve from the last match and improve from the last shot,“ Indian captain Virat Kohli said, giving inspiration to TNT. MATCHES The Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket (TNT) First Grade team started the season well last Saturday by winning both their two T20 matches played at the Caloundra club’s grounds. They were drawn to play Nambour in the morning in a match that turned out to be a sad occassion. The Nambour captain and their best batsman had suffered a family tragedy during the week and he and some other first grade players were unable to play. Thunder was asked to bowl first and utterly demolished the Nambour team. TNT’s opening bowlers, Scott Aufderheide, and Tom Stewart, had the Cutters reeling at 4 for 12 after their allotted eight overs before TNT’s new recruit, ex-international, Ben Laughlin, was brought into the attack. He took another two wickets and then with some great fielding the opposition suffered a couple of run outs and were only able to put 27 runs on the scoreboard. The Thunder passed this target in the fourth over, losing just one wicket in the process. The afternoon match would prove to be a little more difficult. Caloundra Lighthouses have recruited well with a number of new players and some older hands re-joining the club. Thunder batted first and the start could not have been worse, losing both openers in the first over, one to a run-out. Then Jarrod Officer and Lewis Waugh set about a consolidation of the innings and by the eighth over had put on 58 runs. After Waugh exited, veteran Andrew Kratzmann came to the crease and helped move the scoring along at a better rate. The team put on over 100 runs in the last 12 overs and this would prove to be the difference between the two teams. Officer scored 63 off 38 balls and hit three sixes, Kratzmann put on 42 and Ben Laughlin hit 18 not out off 7 balls. The team ended at 6 for 164 off their 20 overs which was the highest score registered in of any of the eight T20 matches played at the weekend. Caloundra started well taking 19 runs off the first two overs before the TNT boys pegged them back to be 0-38 off the first six. Then with a combination of experience and execution from the Thunder bowlers and tight fielding, Caloundra were squeezed out of the chase.

Training for seniors and juniors underway this week at Read Park. All their batsmen found it difficult to keep up the required run rate and although the game was still in the balance at the 10-over point, the next four to five overs of just under six an over made it too difficult for them to reach the target. Thunder’s bowlers were again all very impressive, with Caloundra falling 32 runs short. Wickets were shared around with Ben Laughlin, Jake Dennien and Dom Taylor taking two each and Tom Stewart bowling their top scorer with a beauty. Next Saturday, the team will be playing a

double-header again, at Read Park. The morning game (9.30am) is against Coolum. In the afternoon at 1.30pm they will take on archrivals, Maroochydore Swans, the only other team to win both their first-round matches last weekend. TRAINING Training at Read Park each Tuesday and Thursday night is now under way and all registered players are expected to attend at least one of the nights each week. It seems that the club will now be able to field four senior teams in the season’s competition which will start early

October. Junior Training also commences this week at 4pm on both Tuesday and Thursdays. COACHING CLINIC School holidays are coming up and again the club will be hosting junior clinics with exInternational Nathan Reardon. They involve plenty of quality coaching, lots of fun and motivation for junior players of all ages. And you do not have to be a member of the TNT club to participate.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Tigers celebrate excellence By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers celebrated both their senior and junior clubs presentation days last weekend with individual excellence both on and off the fields being recognised. The presentations started last Wednesday night when our Coolum Noosa colts and Inclusion teams had their end of year celebration at the footy club in what was just a fantastic evening. Some of the speeches from our inclusion boys were just priceless and a big thank you to coach Rob Purvis and his assistants for giving these guys the chance to play footy and represent the Noosa Tigers which they are certainly proud to be a part of. Shane Dawes spoke glowingly of his charges after a year cut short by Covid ruined the colts’ chances of playing finals footy. Best and fairest Lachy Wilson and runner up Marty Kelly spoke like leaders and will certainly be mainstays of the Tigers senior group in future years. The senior men’s and women’s presentation night was held at the beautiful Boathouse Restaurant on the Noosa River on Noosa Show Day. Of course, our women’s team was duly celebrated for their back-to-back glory with co-captain Cassy Young walking away with the best and fairest after a stellar year for the Tigers. Maddy Trompf finished runner up with older sister Keirra rounding out the top three. Great year girls and a big congrats also to Burgs, Ando and Insy who guided these girls

to yet another premiership win. Club legends Aaron Laskey and Garry Wallace took out the senior and reserves best and fairest respectively while departing coach and one of the club’s all time greats, Adam Bovalino, was given a deserving tribute on the night. Ex-president and Noosa stalwart Rob Purvis did a terrific job as master of ceremonies as he too was farewelled after years of hard work. Cameraman and live stream guru Arnie Schellars was awarded Clubperson of the year and no one could disagree on a more appropriate winner. A big thanks also to club sponsors the Boathouse for hosting the event and to Cass Young for organising the night. The weekend rounded out with our junior presentation day on Sunday which attracted a huge attendance. A high marking inflatable and a sausage sizzle were the order of the day while the bar ticked over beautifully all day. Ollie Caspar and his premiership winning under 12 boys’ team were presented to the strong crowd who responded with rapturous applause while Hunter Walker received our volunteer of the year award after being nothing short of just a magnificent helper the entire year. Just an awesome day to finish the year and special thanks to all those who made it happen, in particular, Lisa Beauclerc and our new GM Jane Davis. Can’t wait for the AFL grand final in a fortnight. I’m picking the Dogs by 11 points.

Noosa Dolphins Juniors had five out of five teams competing in the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union Grand Finals last Saturday with the U12 team crowned premiers after a 32-7 win against Sunshine Coast Grammar Rugby.

Pirates show top performance.

Noosa Dolphins A Grade played off for a grand final spot against Maroochydore Swans last Saturday coming away with a 31-8 win.

Busy week of finals’ play While the recent results of the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Teams saw the senior men and women bow out in week two of the finals, it has, however, been a good year for the club. Despite not being the results that we wanted when our division 1 (men’s) went down narrowly, it was a positive step forward for the Pirates: an improved performance on the previous season. Our women’s team also debuted in finals’ footy this year, which was a fantastic result for the club. For the ladies, they lost a close one at Caboolture, while the Division 1 lost a thriller in the dying moments of a home game. There was a massive turnout by the Noosa faithful, and we are so thankful for your outstanding support of the mighty blue and gold. The players and staff are all disappointed that they couldn’t get the big W for you on the day.” However, for the Pirates there is still one game to go. For next weekend, the general manager has issued a statement. “It is time to set sail, ye ole Pirate faithful, as the mighty blue and gold, U/18s Noosa Men’s team, go round in SCGRL grand final action, this Saturday 11am, at Sunshine Coast Stadium Kawana. Last Saturday, after a tough game at Shark Park, the Pirates prevailed 28-16 in the local derby that wasn’t sealed until the final few minutes of play. It was a great effort from the lads and a fitting reward for those who performed so well in the 2020 competition: now in 2021 with the addition of players from our U/16 premiership team, of last season.” The words of club general manager Brett Winkler summed it up well when he said, “It has been a great result overall for the club: big improvement on all fronts, of the previous season”. With the season being one of the most turbulent in the club’s history, due to all the Covid restrictions and cancellations, the hard work and loyalty shown by the entire Pirates Club, staff, coaches, players and supporters should be one that the club can look back on with pride. And let’s not forget the loyalty of the sponsors and the mums and dads. They didn’t hesitate. They stood by the Pirates throughout the season. So, to club president Paul Dwyer and club general manager Brett Winkler - all say, many thanks for your leadership. The Noosa Outriggers canoe clubs, both junior and senior clubs, are now looking forward to competing in the inaugural Big Splash Summer Stunner regatta, hosted by the Bribie Outriggers on 9 October. They took the opportunity to be fully pre46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 September, 2021

Great result overall for Pirates. pared for the event by participating in the recent Mooloolaba -hosted Bay Relay Regatta. According to a club representative, it was a beautiful day to paddle with clubs from all over the South Queensland zone gathering for a big hit out, after being restricted for so long due to Covid. Mooloolaba promised and delivered a great event with exciting viewing as all canoes had to come into the beach for the crew change overs. The Bay Relay consisted of a total distance of 25 kms, with the crews required to do five laps of 5km, with a change of two or three crews every lap. Exciting stuff as each crew battled for positions close to the beach, while looking for their new crew: a good changeover would enable them to get away quickly, thus maintaining their race position. A rising shore break and a bigger swell in the bay made some change-overs and safe passage a real challenge, with some crews coming to grief as they failed to negotiate the breaks and ended up in the water. Noosa once again entered strong teams thus achieving

great results. Noosa’s brave Mighty Minnows who carry the flag for Noosa’s growing junior program, had to paddle 4 x 1km rounds with a beach change-over and came home in second place with a time of 26 minutes, 47 seconds. Noosa seniors performed well in the seniors’ race of 25kms, with beach change every 5km ,coming home first in the Golden Masters’ Division in 2 hours, 41 seconds, and first in the Senior Master Men’s Division, in 2 hours, 22 minutes. The Golden Masters Mixed crew, finished second in their age group, coming home in 2 hours, 49.39, a very close race with the Masters women who finished third in their age group in a time of 2 hours, 49.16: just centimetres in front of the Golden Masters Mixed crew. With these overall results, it is easy to understand why the Noosa crews are eagerly looking forward to the Big Splash Summer Stunner. This is a sport that is open to both male and female members: right through to the middleage categories. A very important factor is that it is both an international sport and one that

is steeped in age old traditions, traditions, that are not only being handed down from the Polynesian people to us Aussies, but are also accepted and passed on to our younger generation. The importance of successful sporting clubs within our community should never be underestimated at the Noosa Outrigger Club. For the Ray White Dolphins Rugby Union Club, last weekend was full on rugby action. At Sunshine Coast Stadium, the Noosa junior teams turned out for their grand final experiences. The Noosa U/12s got the day off to a great start for the club, winning their grand final 22-7. In all other grand final matches, the under 13s,14s, 15s, and Junior Colts Noosa were represented. All grades did their teams and club proud, with games going down to the wire against Caloundra and Maroochydore. However, it was those two, who took home the silverware on the day. Later that evening at the junior clubs’ presentation, club president Zoe Griffen thanked all players, coaches and managers for what has been a fantastic season for the club. The highlight of the season is the fact that every age group was represented in the finals and finished off what has been a difficult year for community sport: an amazing achievement for our rugby fraternity. This weekend, all four senior grades will travel to the Sunshine Coast University to contest the grand finals: Noosa Colts vs Maroochydore, Noosa Women’s vs Caloundra, Noosa Reserve Grade vs University, and in the big game, the A Grade, it will be Noosa Dolphins vs University. In his comments regarding the clubs’ achievements this season, Donald Mckill made reference to the fact that the nine Noosa teams, both junior and senior, that were eligible to make the grand finals, had achieved their goals. “This is indeed an outstanding effort from everyone involved with our club. And I thank you and congratulate you one and all.’’ For the Dolphins support group, wanting information regarding travel and game times, the Noosa Rugby Social media web page will have all the information. This year has been described by rugby union president Donald McKill and endorsed by rugby league president Paul Dwyer, as being a difficult year for community sport. However, it has also, regardless of the difficulties, been one of outstanding loyalty and achievements by all involved with both Dolphins and Pirates. And this, no doubt, would apply to the rank and file of many other organisations within our proud community.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Lending a hand in Bali Today’s column was going to be all about the World Surf League’s historic and experimental one-day finals series at Lower Trestles, but as a classic California pea-soup fog slowly lifted to reveal that the promised swell hadn’t quite arrived, the big day was kicked back 24 hours, meaning that you’ll have to wait a week for my assessment. In the meantime, here’s something else you’ve missed out on this week. The online auction for this beautifully restored vintage McGrigor single fin ended last night (16 September). When I looked at the bids on the morning of 14 September, they were painfully low, which is good news for the bidders but bad news for Project Nasi, the charity receiving the proceeds. Hopefully there was a late surge. Painstakingly restored by Levi Jones and sprayed by Martyn Worthington, the auction board is an early ‘70s McGrigor down-railer, with Uluwatu-inspired airbrush art on the bottom by Martyn. Martyn worked in the McGrigor factory around the time the board was shaped. Levi and Martyn have formed a formidable team both restoring old boards - such as this one - or creating their own functional art. Many of their boards are sold well before completion, such is the demand for their work. I first reported on Project Nasi (rice in Bahasa) shortly after the pandemic began last year, when alerted to it by my Bali-based friend Matt George – in Matt’s words, “a not-for-profit operating out of Denpasar who supply food staples and domestic needs to cash-strapped Balinese suffering under the pandemic”. Founded by Australian expat surfers and businessmen Sam Mahony and James Foley, Project Nasi was originally conceived as a short-term emergency operation in support of the many families subsisting in the villages when tourism ended and so did their small incomes. But 18 months on and with the Delta variant cutting a swathe through Indonesia, the situation has deteriorated and Project Nasi has had to expand its operations to cover the neighbouring island of Nusa Lembongan, as well as large parts of Bali. “We are determined to stay vital through the entire pandemic here in Bali,” James Foley told Matt George, “and hopefully beyond. It’s just a good way to be a good surfer.” Over the course of its operation, the two surfers have enlisted the support of a wide range of expat businesses to create an efficient cashflow and delivery service for their food drops. The figures are impressive, to say the least. Project Nasi’s mission statement is, “Supplying the bare essentials to Balinese to help communities survive and recover from the impacts of the pandemic”. So far they have distributed 400,000 rice-based meals plus more than 50 tonnes of bagged rice, and 10,000 food packs, which will feed a family of four for four days. Matt George reports: “On Lembongan, Project Nasi has partnered with the Lembongan Surf Team who have been supporting families with baby formula, basic medicine, and even medical check-ups for hundreds of children and the elderly. The LST, led by local surfers Wayan Lena, Komo Wilson, and Robot Wayan, are providing the muscle and the community connection while the Project Nasi Team handles the logistics and delivery.” There’s still a long way to go, but while some expat surfers sit in their hillside retreats sending out Covid denial nonsense on social media while down below them people are dying every day, Project Nasi is keeping people alive in places so dear to so many Australian surfers. Having had so much joy from that island over so many decades, it’s time for us to lend a helping hand.

walk away from their salty passion, but left out the most obvious – as you get older it bloody hurts! I just spent the week at Agnes Water surfing much longer sessions than usual in fun conditions on the point, then rubbing Deep Heat into the back and neck while recovering for the rest of the day so I could get out there again the next. This weekend I’ll be belatedly celebrating with friends a significant birthday which officially makes me a geriatric. Drink will be taken, waves will be ridden. Quit, moi? Not yet. Rather than run a photo of an old bloke trying to pop up and ride a wave, I’m going with a couple of pix from everyone’s favourite surf photographer, Fenna De King, showing the joy of being a grom, just starting out on a journey that will shape their lives.

The joy of being a grom.

PAST AND PRESENT FUTURE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY A SHORT time after Tom Offermann opened his eponymous real estate company in 1992, 21 Bayview Rd, Little Cove, was one of the highest priced properties sold, when it achieved $520,000 for the vacant allotment. It sold by the Hack family who also owned the site across the road known as the banana plantation, these days called Peppers Noosa Resort. The developer/owner’s home was designed by Gabriel Poole and in 1998 was sold for $1.105m. Tom recalled his comment of “you seem super keen, so I will give you a go. And what a great privilege to handle the sale today for the current owners who had spent 23 very happy years sharing holidays with their family.” The co-listing with Eric Seetoo culminated with bids escalating once the reserve had been achieved.

Hinternoosa’s Graham Smith with buyers and sellers at 175 Black Pinch Rd, Cootharaba, on Friday. 250183

At $7.9m auctioneer Gordon MacDonald called “sold” to buyers from Sydney. RIVERFRONT RECORD Rising to the top of the class with a price record for Tewantin is arguably the most desirable and quintessential Noosa River hideaway at 21 Ward Street, co-listed by Tom Offermann and Jill Goode. The auction for this signature 3186sq m site with a 36m foreshore, was underway and excitement building amongst the large crowd, when it was stopped for a late registration. The Victorian who ultimately had the top bid of $5.5m, creating the fresh milestone, is looking forward to moving into the sought-after neighbourhood. SAND BETWEEN THE TOES Success continued at the Luke Chen-listed apartment 5 Sandy Beach, overlooking the Noosa River at 173 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, with initial interest during the campaign mainly from investors. With a crowd of 40, and six registered bids including on the phone from country New South Wales, Melbourne and Bundaberg vying for the prize, a local was the successful purchaser at $1.402m. On Sunday, fellow Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin was on cloud nine when apartment 20 at 140 Noosa

Pde, Noosaville, was sold under the hammer for $1.255m, a new record for a two-bedroom apartment in the complex She had a lot of interest from interstaters in lockdown, so whilst open home numbers were down due to an inability to attend, FaceTime inspections were frequent, with one registering. Three registered bidders all participated; however, it was a family from Brisbane who scored the win. They were thrilled having missed out on several properties previously. The owners on the phone from Melbourne cried happy tears and were drinking champagne to calm nerves as well as celebrate. Recently Eliza sold apartment 22, a three-bedroom with a rooftop terrace for $1.375m. Another record result for Tropicana. NOOSAVILLE IN DEMAND The Noosa River precinct at Noosaville continues to turn heads and see record prices. Bettina Mertel at Laguna Real Estate received strong interest and offers on the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car riverside apartment 11/221-227 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, that was set for auction at 1pm on Friday, September 17.

A Melbourne buyer increased his offer during the week and the $1.3m offer was accepted. The buyer had sent a friend to inspect and do a video call with him. The apartment is on the podium level, just a dozen steps up. “It has been beautifully renovated, which was why so many wanted it,’’ Bettina said. “You can live in it but it has had such strong holiday bookings until the recent Covid lockdowns in the southern states.’’ Bettina sold two other apartments in the riverside complex in May-June to make five for the 12 months. One went to auction and Bettina sold both straight after the event to a buyer who already had a holding in the complex. “They can see the value of the position,’’ she said. “It has direct river views. “There is hardly anything else on the market with such an uninterrupted view.’’ PERFECT POSITION There will be an auction in Regatta Noosa this weekend as Chrissie Baker of Laguna Real Estate will be taking 19/221-227 Gympie Tce to the market at 11am on Saturday. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, onecar apartment is on the top floor and in the north-east corner of the complex.

It is a fantastic position and attracting a lot of interest - especially interstate and from New Zealand but also local. The apartment has a large deck along the the east side as well as balcony looking up and down the river. On one level and offered fully furnished, the apartment is suitable to suit live in or rent out through the holiday letting pool. COTTAGE APPEALS Oh my gosh - that was the response from Hinternoosa’s Graham Smith when asked about the auction campaign for 22 Jirrima Cres, Cooroibah. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, twocar Queenslander on 2.1ha goes to the market at 1pm Sunday, September 19. “It’s been going berserk,’’ Graham said. “We’ve been doing facetime with interstate interest, families driving up from Brisbane. “Locals have also been a strong part of the campaign, looking to move from coastline and wanting privacy. “The house is more than 100 years old and was moved up from Ipswich. “The granny flat was the original shed/ cottage before the subdivision. “The house has all the period features period features such as high ceilings, tongue and groove walls, French doors and wide, welcoming verandas. “Everything is in good order and it is on a beautiful block.’’ Graham and colleague Kess prior also have a fresh listing at 5 Smiths Rd, Doonan, that is attracting plenty of interest. Listed as a forthcoming auction, the pavilion-style home offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and wet-edge pool on 0.65ha with lake, hinterland and ocean views. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 4.86ha with stables and sheds at 175 Black Pinch Rd, Cootharaba, sold at auction last Friday for $1.38m. The buyers were from the Samford Valley and the appeal was the horse infrastructure in place including three fully fenced paddocks, day yards and a round yard. PRIVATE HIDE-AWAY Lian Scott of Wythes Real Estate has experienced strong interest at open homes for the four-bedroom, three-bathroom, six-car house on 1.55ha with dam at 18 Mallee Close, Doonan, that is set for auction on Saturday, September 25, at 12pm.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-car house with pool at 52 Ferguson St, Sunshine Beach, is set for auction at 11am on Sunday, September 19. 250183 Some of that inquiry is coming from interstaters as well as New Zealanders already living here and renting. Brisbane buyers are looking as well, Lian said. The appeal is the flat land and privacy. “It’s a walkable property with a nice big shed ... everyone likes that. There is a beautiful outlook over the land. There is a lovely feel to the property ... you could be anywhere in Australia yet just down the road all the from amenities you want.’’ SURF AT THE FRONT DOOR It’s an iconic home-size apartment on the doorstep of everything - Noosa Main Beach, Hastings St and the national park. On Saturday, September 18, Rebekah Offermann will take the three-bedroom, twobathroom, one-car apartment 8/81 Hastings St to auction at 1pm in conjunction with her father, Tom Offermann. “It has been a wonderful campaign,’’ Rebekah said, “with 150 inquiries so far. “The apartment has been really appreciated by a few different profiles of buyers - owner-occupiers to downsizer holiday homes to holiday apartments. “They appreciate the calibre of the property and the privacy on offer.’’ Presented fully furnished, the apartment is in a small complex of nine with a floorplan of about 246sq m. There are two columns of apartments in the complex - six on the right and three on the left. This one is on the mid level in the northern side.

“You can watch the waves peeling off from First Point,’’ Rebekah said. On Sunday, Rebekah will be taking 52 Ferguson St, Sunshine Beach, to auction with colleague Peter TeWhata. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, threecar house with pool will be presented to the market at 11am. “It has been really well received,’’ Rebekah said. “A Tim Ditchfield design always gets a good response. There is a thoughtful, practical floor plan and it maximises space. People are appreciating the fact that it’s a free-standing home with low maintenance. There is a 12m pool and an incredibly large garage under. It is located right behind the village and so close to the beach.’’ Inquiries have been from interstate, those in Brisbane wanting a weekender, holiday property investors, as well as owneroccupiers. Local interest has mainly been from those downsizing from larger properties.
