Tourism changes By Phil Jarratt

12497020-DL22-21

Proposed sweeping changes to the constitution of Tourism Noosa and the composition of its board have divided Noosa’s biggest industry, just as it starts to haul itself out of the near abyss of Covid-19. While some in Council and in tourism and allied industries contend a complete overhaul is necessary and overdue as Tourism Noosa

celebrates its 20th anniversary, others say that the timing could not have been worse. “You don’t rewrite your constitution while you’re fighting World War Three,” one retiring board member told Noosa Today. “Not while you’re fighting a rearguard action to prevent half your members from going broke.” However, acting chair of the Tourism Noosa

board, Louise Formosa, says: “I think this is the best possible time to do it. Streamlining operations and bringing in directors with appropriate skills sets will set us on course as tourism gets back on its feet.” Ms Formosa, who has been acting chair for the last couple of months in the absence of chair Richard Stephens on personal leave, was at pains to point out that the proposed “incre-

mental reforms” were to be reviewed in a year. “It would be prudent if the amendments were passed to help us move forward as tourism opens up again,” she added. The proposed amendments are built around two fundamental ideas that are by no means new in discussions about the future of Tourism Noosa. Continued page 5

Pubs, clubs, nightclubs and music venues will be freed of all restrictions provided all patrons and staff are fully vaccinated. The Premier said these measures were a reward for vaccinated Queenslanders and a greater measure of protection once borders re-open. “This pandemic has been a long, hard road,” the Premier said. “Soon our borders will open and Covid will be in our communities. “This is about keeping our freedoms.” From 17 December: Events at all Queensland government stadiums including Suncorp, The Gabba, Queensland Country Bank and Metricon will be for the fully vaccinated only including staff.

The editor’s desk The State Government recently announced 27,000 small businesses had taken up the joint state and federal funded Covid-19 Business Support Grants that businesses can still apply for until 16 November. In addition, businesses can apply for other support packages including cleaning rebates for exposure sites, Covid adaption support grants, Jobs Support loans, Big Plans for Small Business packages and a 24/7 small business hotline can help businesses access support. Two new programs have also been initiated - the Tourism and Hospitality Sector Hardship Program and the Major Tourism Experiences Hardship Grant. On Tuesday the Premier announced changes to Covid restrictions in preparation for border openings that will return life to normal for people fully vaccinated and begin in just five weeks. If you’re planning to be vaccinated, the time is now if you want to enjoy the new freedoms next month. Despite government funding, Noosa Chamber of Commerce president Ralph Rogers says the shire’s economic activity has decreased by 40 per cent and businesses are hanging on by a thread. Figures from an industry roundtable show over the past two years hospitality had dropped by 47 per cent, retail by 45 per cent, accommodation by 42 per cent and the arts sector was almost wiped out, he says. With Christmas around the corner, the message is to support our local economy.

Many Noosa small and family businesses are barely keeping their doors open waiting for interstate visitors to return. Shadow Minister for Small and Family Business Brent Mickelberg says the State Government must provide a clear roadmap so Noosa businesses can prepare. “Noosa business owners need to know exactly what is expected of them and their staff, and if any restrictions will continue to be enforced,“ he said. “Many Noosa small and family businesses have closed or are hanging on by a thread after spending so long without interstate and international visitors. Some have lost up to 25 per cent of their cashflow over the last two years.“ Noosa Chamber of Commerce President Ralph Rogers says Noosa was a hidden victim of the pandemic and it’s already too late to save some businesses.

“A roundtable of local industry leaders put a case to the Member for Noosa to advocate on our behalf a particular policy of cash flow support, but there has been no response from state government,” Mr Rogers said. “We believe the State Government does not have a good understanding of the financial impacts Covid has had on Noosa and other similar local economies. Support should be offered based on the comparative difference between gross financial margins in 2020-21 compared with pre-pandemic margins. “Many businesses have been depleted of financial reserves - they have no more cash and cannot further increase borrowings, compensation offered from the state government has been minimal and many are heading towards insolvency and closure. They’re on the brink of giving up.”

Builders bear cost brunt By Margie Maccoll Noosa builders are being “massively” impacted by the rising costs of building materials and trade workers as well as delivery delays, leading some to halt future work in fear of ruination. In its September survey of members, Master Builders Queensland found “unprecedented supply issues” which were having a significant impact on the progress of building works. The survey revealed massive spikes in costs with some timber deliveries being delayed by 12 months and bricklayers, tilers, and other trades people impossible to secure even at significantly higher rates. Master Builders chief executive officer Paul Bidwell attributed the situation to a “perfect storm” of factors. These include a global surge in demand for construction materials, a local surge created by the HomeBuilder grant, interstate migration and low interest rates. In addition ongoing natural disaster insurance repair work continued to monopolise trade contractors and imported materials were still being delayed by Covid supply chain disruptions. Noosa master builder Doug Walker said in his 25 years in the business he had never seen the situation they face today. Doug said he’d signed a contract to build a house in Boreen Point last December but in that time costs had soared from $1300sqm to $2500sqm, materials had increased 80 per cent, timber had gone up 60 per cent and steel prices rose each month. “Some things you get they can’t tell you the price until they land them,” he said. Doug said pre-Covid window orders would be delivered within 10 working days but it now took three to four months. He believes Covid was being over used as an excuse for the situation that had resulted from a number of factors. He attributed some of the problems to large companies dominating trade workers, priva-

Building and renovation costs blow out in Noosa. tised forest owners selling timber at higher prices on the world market instead of in Australia, tradies such as roofers turning to higher paid insurance jobs and a lack of national manufacturing resulting in the need to import materials. “Most of the builders are in a fair bit of trouble,” he said. “There’s going to be blokes going broke everywhere.” GJ Gardner Homes Noosa construction manager Phil Vanderneut said the company was currently working on eight to nine houses with delays stretching completion dates by weeks or months. “Builders out there are trying to do our best.

It’s a crazy time,” he said. “We’ve got plenty of sales. A quarter of our market is people from down south moving up. The hard part is trade allocation. Six months ago we were hit with price rises every day. We have fixed price agreements. Every day out leaves you with more time to absorb price rises. We try to absorb as much as can but it has to be viable.” HinterNoosa Builders’ Adrian Batista said with big jobs “too risky” to price, they had decided to restrict their business to smaller jobs such as bathroom renovations and decks. Adrian said if they priced a job at a fixed price then were unable to obtain materials or

trades people, the job would risk running behind or at higher costs, leaving them to absorb the extra costs. “Our last two jobs we’ve already had to put back to next year. We couldn’t get tradespeople,” he said. Mr Bidwell said to assist builders and consumers find a way through the current challenges the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) had introduced the Accelerated Billder / Consumer Dispute Framework to act as a temporary independent mediation service.

Noosa Lions named as state’s best community club Clubs, referees, coaches and players gathered at Brisbane City Hall for Football Queensland’s recent awards night. As one of four finalists, club president Brian Stockwell was on hand when Noosa Lions Football Club was crowned the best community club of 2021. “It was a wonderful acknowledgement of the huge on field efforts put in by all our players and our coaches, and the hard work of our small group of paid staff and volunteers on the committee. We were really pleased to be named the champion club of the Sunshine Coast with 21 of our 24 competitive teams getting into the finals. But this is something special. “For me, as a referee, it was also fantastic that this achievement also came after receiving the least number of yellow and red cards over the season and winning the Fair Play

Club president Brian Stockwell. Award for the region. “Our players should be really proud to have their combined efforts being crucial in winning this state -wide award.” Mr Stockwell said.

Now the largest club on the coast, Noosa Lions Football Club scored at the top of every criterion considered in the awards. The award acknowledges both the club’s on-field performance and sportsmanship but also their commitment to growing female football and community sport. Technical director Craig Goodall said this year has had its ups and downs. “We started the season with only two of last year’s premier men’s players returning. We rebuilt our top sides, with a new coach, Ben Amson, and a throng of players coming through from juniors, many of whom could still be playing under 18s. For our top side to finish second in these circumstances, together with the high performances across all age groups is a testament to the development program put in place by my predecessor Kevin Ahern-Evans.”

The club was also rocked by the tragic loss of one of last year’s young premier men’s players Nathan Weckert. Noosa Lions took out the premierships in the U12 div 1, 13 div 2 and 3, U14 div 1 and 2, U 16 div 1 and were prolific champions in the junior competition winning the grand finals in the U12 div 1 and 2, U13 div 2, U14 div 1, and U16 div 1 competitions. Our top women’s side was also terribly unlucky, dominating for much of the grand final only to go down by a single deflection into the goal. Both existing players and members of the public are welcome in the club’s social summer sixes competition, which kicks off in January. Registrations are now open for teams from Under7/8 through to senior men’s, women’s and mixed sides on the club’s website noosalionsfootballclub.com

Trent on the job for Love Stories.

Pictures: SUPPLIED

Author Trent Dalton shares love stories By Phil Jarratt Best-selling author Trent Dalton spent two months of this year sitting at a busy street corner in Brisbane with only a table, a chair and an ancient Olivetti typewriter for props, asking people to tell him their love stories. Which they did, enough to fill a book, which is apparently very good. I had several interesting questions I wanted to ask him about this process, but Trent is obviously better at getting people to talk than I am, because over the past two weeks I couldn’t get him on the phone for 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes is all I asked! That’s roughly how long it takes me to do my morning ablutions. Perhaps we could have timed a bathroom to bathroom FaceTime so that no schedules were interrupted, but it wasn’t to be. Perhaps I should have set up a table with a typewriter outside his Brisbane office. Yeah, nah. I don’t blame Trent for this. It’s what happens when you have back-to-back monster hits, stage and screen adaptations etc, and you’re not bad looking. The star system kicks in. People have to go through people, and his people weren’t talking to my people, ie me. Never mind, I’m assured he’s a good bloke, as well as a great writer, and you can talk to him in person at Annie’s Books On Peregian,

buy the new book, maybe even tell him a quick love story in case there’s a sequel. And Love Stories (HarperCollins) does sound absorbing. From the publisher’s blurb: “A blind man yearns to see the face of his wife of 30 years. A divorced mother has a secret love affair with a priest. A geologist discovers a three-minute video recorded by his wife before she died. A tree lopper’s heart falls in a forest. A working mum contemplates taking photographs of her late husband down from her fridge. A girl writes a last letter to the man she loves most, then sets it on fire. A palliative care nurse helps a dying woman converse with the angel at the end of her bed. A renowned 100-year-old scientist ponders the one great earthly puzzle he was never able to solve: What is love? “Endless stories. Human stories. Love stories … an immensely warm, poignant, funny and moving book about love in all its guises, including observations, reflections and stories of people falling into love, falling out of love, and never letting go of the loved ones in their hearts. A heartfelt, deep, wise and tingly tribute to the greatest thing we will never understand and the only thing we will ever really need: love.” Trent Dalton will be at Annie’s Books On Peregian from noon, Friday 12 November.

Police have expressed disappointment at the number of people being intercepted travelling at extremely high speeds across the Sunshine Coast, including one man detected on a motorbike at 225kph. On 27 October police were conducting mobile patrols of Caloundra Road when they saw a motorbike being ridden at a high speed and splitting traffic around 8.45pm. The 31-year-old man was detected travelling at 225kph prior to being intercepted and was arrested and taken to Maroochydore Watchhouse. He was charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle and is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 15 November. The bike was impounded. In addition to this incident on 26 October, a 19-year-old man P-Plater was caught exceeding the speed limit by more than 40kph travelling on the Bruce Highway through Federal. The driver from Gladstone was fined $1286 and eight demerit points, as well as having his licence suspended for six months. Later that day around 5.20pm a 62-year-old man from Bundaberg was intercepted travelling 110kph in a 70 zone in wet weather on the Bruce Highway at Black Mountain. He was also fined 1286 and eight demerit points. Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho from Sunshine Coast Highway Patrol said when the P-Plater was quizzed why he was driving at that speed, he indicated that “he was just overtaking”. “As far as I’m aware, no low flying jets were observed in the area that needed overtaking,” Senior Sergeant Panoho said. “It has been proven time and time again the dangers of travelling at excess speeds on our roads. “Road trauma affects everyone – don’t let your family’s door be the next one we knock on to tell them you won’t be coming home.”

Tourism funding remains Noosa Council proposes to postpone its new Tourism Noosa funding agreement for 12 months while both council and TN resolve changes being undertaken by both bodies. The current agreement expires on 30 June 2022 but Council was looking to finalise arrangements for any new agreement by December 2021. Council raised the issue at its Services and Organisation Committee meeting on Tuesday, delaying discussion to its General Meeting on Monday. On Tuesday Council’s acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock said Council was to regulate the new agreement but there were a number of things Council was doing and they were aware TN was going through changes, so it was in everyone’s best interests to continue the current contract for another 12 months. According to a Council report, the issues for Council include determining its role as a destination management agency and how it can better define its expectations in terms of

destination management from a resident/ visitor perspective as well as finalising its next local economic strategy. Tourism Noosa is in the process of reviewing and updating its constitution which will likely bring changes to the Tourism Noosa board - both in terms of the number of board members and also the membership of the board, the report said. In addition, Council has still to appoint a new chief executive officer after the retirement last month of Brett De Chastel and the delay would allow time for the new CEO to review the relationship between TN and council which has been managed at a CEO to CEO level. Under the current agreement, which looks set to continue until 30 June, 2023 Council will provide funding to TN of $2.52 million per annum.

Members at a recent Noosa Tourism meeting.

Noosa Tourism Board makes changes to its constitution From page 1 The first is to reduce the size of the board of directors from an unwieldy 13 to a manageable seven, and to make it skills-based rather than entirely representative. The second is to divide the powers of church and state, so to speak, with Tourism Noosa preaching the tourism gospel while Noosa Council takes over much of the responsibility for destination management. In other words, split marketing from management, a move which was first flagged in Tourism Noosa’s 2020-23 Strategic Plan. The details of formulating Council’s approach to destination management have been tasked to economic development manager Anthony Dowd, and may not be clear for some time, but TN acting chair Formosa is confident that such a transition will be handled carefully and with consultation. “For example, we regard Plastic Free Noosa as a branding exercise as well as a community responsibility. Likewise, event management would be off the table.” The proposed amendments to Tourism Noosa’s “objects” have also ruffled feathers around town, mainly because a red line has been drawn through much of the communitybased aspects of its current operations, such as the vision of “a community and tourism industry that works so well together that Noosa is internationally recognised as an innovator in achieving interdependent economic, social and environmental sustainability”. This, and several other red lines, can be explained by the transfer of responsibility of destination management to Noosa Council, outlined above, but Cr Tom Wegener sees it differently. He told Noosa Today: “I believe Tourism Noosa under Mel Anderson and her team, including the enormous volunteer base, is a

phenomenal success. All the awards speak for themselves. So when I looked at the constitutional amendments up for adoption, I was shocked by the massive changes on the table from the board of directors. It seems almost all of the objectives which have made Tourism Noosa what it is today have been deleted. It seems clear that the board wants Tourism Noosa to narrow its focus to simply benefiting its members. “I then looked to the Tourism Noosa Annual Report 2020/21 to learn more. The Vision and Purpose statement proclaims: ‘Through excellence in marketing, position Noosa as the most desirable and sustainable tourism destination for our visitors, provide economic benefit and value for our members, our community and tourism sectors.’ I believe the proposed changes in the constitution would result in this statement becoming, ‘Through excellence in marketing, provide economic benefit and value for its members’. To be honest, I do not know what to make of these changes.” Cr Amelia Lorentson, who is the council observer on the TN Board, offered a slightly different view: “It is timely to review and update the constitution. Council is supportive of this process and believes Tourism Noosa is on the right track in terms of heading for a ‘skills based’ board rather than the historic representation model. As a result of the review, it will be likely that there will be changes to the Tourism Noosa board, both in terms of numbers and membership. I have looked at the working draft version and although I do not agree with some of the changes, which I will communicate with the board, I acknowledge that this is a matter for the board and its members to reach agreement on, not Council.” While board members have told Noosa Today that tempers have frequently been frayed

over the many months of deliberation on the proposed amendments, on the operational side, although it has certainly not been “business as usual”, the list of achievements over a very difficult period is considerable and commendable. (See the TN “report card for 2021” elsewhere in this issue.) But the challenges that lie ahead as Queensland opens up are equally daunting, as chief executive officer Melanie Anderson commented: “The year has continued to present Covid challenges to our region, and the staff at Tourism Noosa have risen to meet those challenges head on and achieve results for our industry, including increasing length of stay and overnight expenditure. The challenges ahead for this Christmas holiday season are immense, with borders opening and the po-

tential of having Covid in our shire, and how businesses are supposed to manage in that environment, and the vacuum of government information and mandates to manage, a housing crisis and of course, the significant issue of staff shortages. “There are few answers, but Tourism Noosa will hold an industry Thought Leadership Forum, on Tuesday 23 November at the Sofitel Noosa Resort, to hear from leaders how they are getting prepared for the high season, share their thoughts and ideas, and to work together to get through the impending difficult times.” Tourism Noosa members will cast their votes on the proposed constitutional amendments at the annual general meeting on Friday 19 November.

Brain drain concerns COMMENT By Phil Jarratt There are problems inherent in both areas of the proposed Tourism Noosa amendments. While the primary objective of shrinking the board is to move from a representative model to a skills-based model, many of the most skilled members of the current board have resigned or are about to resign after the annual general meeting, a brain drain that has been partly caused by the physical and mental stresses of voluntary directors juggling a major restructure while running their own businesses in tourism’s darkest hour. These departures include current chair Richard Stephens, acting chair Louise Formosa, highly-regarded chief executive

officers Brett Kapernick (Queensland Tourism Industry Council) and Andrew Brodie (Sunshine Coast Airport), Australia Zoo’s Erica Kilmore and Noosa Longboards owner Michael Holmes. Concerns have also been expressed about the selection processes for the new-look board, which would be made up of four TN board-appointed directors, two memberappointed directors and one appointed by the Hastings Street Association (HSA), which would effectively give a voice and a vote to only one community or industry representative group. While there has been HSA representation on the board for some time, the fear was that it would wield more power over a smaller board.

Noosa lifesaver honoured Noosa lifesaver Vittoria (Tori) Farmer has been honoured by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) after a brave and challenging rescue in Cornwall in south west England that saved the life of a former police officer. Tori and fellow RNLI lifeguard Alex Ashen were awarded a Bronze Medal for Gallantry for their “courage, selflessness, determination and surf skills in challenging conditions“ for the rescue of a man caught in a powerful rip on Mawgan Porth Beach. Fellow lifeguard Theresa Morokutti received a framed letter of thanks from the chairman of the RNLI. It was only the third time in the charity’s 20 year existence that such an accolade had been bestowed. Jon Marshall, from Yorkshire, was on holiday in Cornwall at the time the rescue took place in the late afternoon of Thursday 17 June 2021 on Mawgan Porth Beach, four miles north of Newquay, Cornwall. It was about 4pm with an ebbing tide and big surf conditions when RNLI lifeguards Tori and Alex were patrolling the water’s edge. “It was a pretty standard day at Mawgan Porth. We did have an increasing swell throughout the day, but Mawgan Porth is renowned to be quite rippy at times, so it is nothing out of the blue for strong rip currents to appear. The significance of this rescue was just how quickly the situation escalated; it was like something I have never seen before,“ Tori said. Alex and Tori noticed a swimmer drifting out into the middle of the breaking waves. They could see he was being hit by large heavy waves and was losing his footing. The swimmer was being dragged further out to sea by the powerful water movement. Describing the moment, he was pulled into the flash rip current Jon said: “I’d just gone down there for no more than a paddle and then suddenly it was like trying to walk up a water flume, it hap-

Jon Marshall (middle) with lifesavers Alex Ashen and Tori Farmer. pened that quickly. The current moved into where I was and I immediately knew I was in trouble.“ Alex grabbed his rescue board and began to paddle out towards the casualty. Tori, who had climbed onto the lifeguard truck to get a

higher view point, noticed more surfers waving for help. Knowing she had to act quickly she radioed the lifeguard unit to request back up safety cover as she had to leave her position on the shoreline. By this point, Jon was struggling to keep his

head above the water, when he remembered a technique called float to live from his training as a former police officer and the RNLI’s safety messaging. By leaning back in the water, extending his arms and legs and resisting the urge to thrash around, Jon managed to gain control of his breathing and stay afloat whilst the lifeguards made their way towards him. In response to Tori’s call for back-up, lifeguard Theresa drove the Rescue Water Craft (RWC) down to the shoreline in case she was needed to assist them in the water. Alex and Tori manged to get to Jon, but by now the powerful rip current and large crashing waves had depleted almost all his energy to keep himself above the water. Encouraged by the lifeguards in the relentlessly challenging conditions, Jon managed to get hold of one of the rescue boards. “Alex and I reassured him saying, ’look Jon, you are in great hands, we are nearly there, you are doing a great job. Just keep holding onto the handles of the (rescue) board’. That is all we could say at that point, he remained in a very calm manner, almost too calm. I think it’s because he fully understood how much danger he was in,“ Tori said. Due to the sheer power of the conditions they were in, Alex and Tori were unable to get Jon fully onto their rescue boards and surf him back to shore. The rip current was pushing them all further away to deeper water. “Initially we were about 20-30m from the shore but we were rapidly getting pulled out and before we knew it, we were edging towards the northern corner of the beach, way out of our depth. We were still figuring out how we were going to get him back to the beach. We’d been battling in the powerful vortex with really large swell for at least 20 minutes, the rip was raging. It was definitely the most physically demanding rescue I have ever been involved in,“ Tori said.

for Cornwall rescue “Alex and I definitely had a few moments when we looked at each other. We were alarmed, it was a very difficult situation to be in. But we’d spoken to Jon and we’d exchanged words, we’d reassured him telling him we were going in soon, but we weren’t exactly sure when or how that was going to happen. One thing was for sure; we were never going to give up! We were not going to not bring him back home to his family. That was just not an option for us.“ Seeing the situation unfold from the shore, Theresa knew her fellow lifeguards needed help, so she launched the RWC and headed straight towards the group. The sea conditions meant manoeuvring the RWC alongside the casualty was a difficult and serious challenge. Using her skills and wave sense to judge her timing, Theresa managed to get alongside Jon. Alex and Tori helped Jon onto the sled at the back of the RWC but he was repeatedly knocked off by breaking waves. By this point Jon was exhausted and completely unable to help himself. Theresa, having to circle around again because of the breaking waves, positioned the RWC alongside Jon once more. Tori and Alex used all their skill and strength to haul Jon up and secure him. This time they succeeded, and Theresa was able to take Jon back to the beach, where he was treated for exhaustion and potential secondary drowning by senior lifeguard Tom Houghton. “Jon did an amazing job at remaining calm and listening to us, he didn’t fight, he didn’t panic. He preserved his energy, not wasting it on those things and did such a phenomenal job. I think that is one of the main reasons why he is still here today. He did such a great job of listening to our advice, hanging on and fighting for his life,“ Tori said. “I tried to do everything right but it was completely out of my control,“ Jon said. “As a

former police officer of 25 years, I’ve been in all sorts of high stress situations, as every cop has of my service, but this was different. I’ve never felt as small as I was in that water. You’re completely insignificant compared to the size and the power of the waves. The waves were taking me under, I was rolling and getting back up, getting a breath and then my head was back under and that was when I thought ‘this is it.’ When I saw Alex, I had never been so pleased to see anyone in my life.“ Speaking about how she felt in the moment she saw Jon being taken back to shore, Tori said: “It was relief, it was shock, it was adrenaline, so much adrenaline. It was absolute satisfaction and pure happiness as well.

been praised for his leadership and trust in his team’s capabilities that allowed him to oversee the situation from the shore. The lifeguards were informed of the awards by RNLI area lifesaving manager Dickon Berriman, who said: “In recommending these awards, the RNLI Trustees recognise the difficulty of the rescue which took immense skill, determination and fitness. Tori and Alex willingly placed themselves in harm’s way to rescue a stranger. Had they not acted as they did, Jon would almost certainly have drowned. Theresa was absolutely instrumental in securing a safe and successful outcome for Jon and her colleagues, her skill and surf sense and her intuitive actions by launching the RWC to assist saved a life.“

There were points in that rescue when I was questioning how I was going to get out of the situation. Alex and I are both surfers and we spend a lot of time in the water in big swell, so we knew we could have gotten ourselves out of there if we absolutely had to. But like I said before, there was no way we were leaving without Jon. Twenty minutes is a very long time in those sorts of conditions in the sea. You’re exhausted but you don’t feel it as your adrenaline is pumping and you are just focused on getting this person to safety. When he got to shore and we followed in behind, it was just this instant weight lifted off my shoulders thinking; ‘right we’ve done our job’. I know this rescue will stick with me for the rest of my life.“ Senior RNLI lifeguard Tom Houghton has

Students embraced the opportunity to create some delicious meals for those less fortunate in the community.

Over 80 meals of fresh pasta bolognese ready for dispatch.

Students share meals With the planned re-opening of the Queensland borders just before Christmas, many families are busy preparing for a grand festive season. However, students at Good Shepherd Lutheran College are very aware that there are others in the community who will struggle to find a roof over their head or a warm meal to enjoy and so were very keen to support Youturn Youth Services. According to Mrs Jansen, head of hospitality at Good Shepherd, the College has always had a servant leadership focus. “Hospitality students prepare meals that are given to support our college members

when the need arises,“ she said. “When the opportunity to take this initiative to the community was presented, they embraced it.” Almost 80 delicious home-made meals were provided by the Year 11 hospitality students. These will be used for emergency relief for people that contact Youturn for support. People may be experiencing temporary or ongoing homelessness, significant financial or personal hardship, or challenging personal circumstances, and these meals provide an opportunity for them to connect with Youturn as an organisation. Over a home cooked meal, people can have a conversation about

accessing suitable support. Youturn provides more than 3000 meals per year to people between the ages of 16 and 25 in the local community. Head of senior years studies at Good Shepherd Matt Armstrong said, “Caring for the wellbeing of others and engaging in community service is something that Good Shepherd takes very seriously and is purposely included in the learning programs. “It was great to see how enthusiastic the students were and proud to see how their learning was having a positive effect on those less fortunate in the local community. “The College is looking forward to further

opportunities to engage our students in ongoing service-learning activities like this one, for Youturn as well as other important community services.” Youturn Youth Services is a not-for-profit that was started 30 years ago to help address youth homelessness in the Noosa region. Since then, the organisation has grown substantially, working with young people and those that support them, expanding their focus to include child safety, mental health, suicide prevention and, of course, homelessness.

Survey assesses Noosa’s future skills hub need A survey is underway to better understand the education and training needs of Noosa. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the survey was critical to exploring and assessing the feasibility of establishing a Future Skills Learning Hub. “This survey is targeted at students, parents, educators, trainers as well as business and industry leaders,” she said. Establishing a Future Skills Learning Hub would expand the choice of learning opportunities available locally from a range of education and training providers and offer business and industry increased opportunities to drive the types of education and training delivered. The project is an initiative of the Noosa Education and Training Alliance (NETA), an association of key education and training providers in the Noosa region, which is sup-

ported by Noosa Council. ‘Study choices for the Noosa community are really important as are links to industry and developing pathways to home grown employment opportunities, particularly around jobs to support future focussed industry development,” Cr Stewart said, “A Future Skills Learning Hub could deliver leading-class education and skills training and the facility could also assist us to diversify our local economy and ensure business and employment opportunities evolve to be high-value, resilient, environmentally sustainable” she said. Noosa MP Sandy Bolton is also a big advocate for education and training in our region. “The loss of our TAFE some years ago, as well the Central QLD University facility last year, has heightened the need for a sustain-

able and relevant model for our community,” “The impacts of the global Covid-19 pandemic has impacted Noosa in multiple realms, with waiting lists for school entry and need for facilities that can accommodate in demand school based training, including advanced manufacturing.” she said. “As well the challenges of a lack of affordable housing for workers that has put increased pressure on the staffing requirements of local business. “The opportunities in our Noosa region for increased access to training and education through the establishment of a Future Skills Learning Hub is important, and why we are keen for our entire community to feed in to this survey.” Ms Bolton said. The survey can be accessed via the business pages of Council’s web site.

Jack’s long RSL service The Maroochy RSL family — including more than 40 World War II veterans — will pause this Remembrance Day at the Cotton Tree Cenotaph to acknowledge those who bravely served our country. Maroochy RSL president and a veteran himself, Michael Liddelow, said as the 2020 Remembrance Day events were limited to invitation-only due to the pandemic, this year’s events would be particularly special for the community to come together and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. “We don’t underestimate how important Remembrance Day is for our veterans — irrespective of their age, where they served or how long ago they returned home,” Mr Liddelow said. “Services such as this. along with the other support provided by Maroochy RSL, ensure our veterans feel appreciated for the sacrifices they made and. for many, form an important part of a lifelong connection to the RSL.” This is certainly the case for Australia’s longest serving RSL member and Buderim local, Jack Alsbury, a World War II veteran who will celebrate his 100th birthday in January next year. “In 1944 I was nominated to be a member of the RSL by my father who was already a member after having served in the First World War — so this year I have been a member for 77 years,” Mr Alsbury said. Mr Alsbury served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) from 1942, as a Leading Aircraftsman, in the New Guinea theatre of war. He said while there were many things from the war he would like to forget, he will always

remember proposing to his late wife, Dorothy, who also served in the RAAF, via a letter he wrote while in battle. Mr Liddelow said the Maroochy RSL team was well aware of the important role they play in the lives of veterans such as Mr Alsbury and the many others that call the Sunshine Coast home. “The Sunshine Coast is currently sixth on the list in Queensland as Local Government Areas (LGA) with the most veterans and the fourth highest in regards to the number of war widows,” Mr Liddelow said. “Remembrance Day is an opportunity for veterans who have served over a number of conflicts to congregate with the friends and families who have supported them on their journey and to reflect. It provides a unique opportunity to stop, to remember and to say thank you. “Due to Covid-19 restrictions last year we had to livestream the service, however, this year we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to the Cotton Tree Cenotaph to pay their respects and commemorate this national day of remembrance. We expect 60 distinguished guests and politicians to be in attendance as well as a large crowd from the public. “On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of warfare, bringing an end to the First World War and seeing this day come to represent all those who have served before and since. “We welcome anybody to come down to the Cotton Tree Cenotaph to pay their respects and commemorate this national day of remembrance.”

Mr Alsbury served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) from 1942 as a Leading Aircraftsman in the New Guinea theatre of war.

Australia’s longest serving RSL member and Buderim local, Jack Alsbury, is a World War II veteran.

Noosa’s Scottish warrior By Phil Jarratt Her many friends call her the Scottish warrior and, while comparisons with William Wallace are a bit of a stretch, it doesn’t take long in the company of Noosa’s Karen Griffin to realise she truly has the bravest of brave hearts. Born in Dundee and raised on farms near the village of Killin in central Scotland and near Inverness in the Highlands, Karen grew up tough but happy, revelling in farmyard chores with her four siblings in the sleet and snow, and the long walks down the lane to catch the bus to school. She recalls: “It was a great upbringing. As kids we were able to run free, eat strawberries from the garden, tear into the rhubarb and make pies, collect eggs from the hens … not my favourite job as I’m afraid of birds, so I’d do a runner when that was being done! But it was real salt of the earth stuff, it was awesome.” With an adventurous spirit in her DNA, she went to college in Perth (Scotland) and studied hospitality with a view to travelling the world. After stints in Switzerland and at Scotland’s famous five-star golf resort the Gleneagles Hotel – where she served the likes of Jackie Stewart and Sean Connery – Karen and a few friends applied for one-year working holiday visas for Australia. She says: “At that time it had become a fashion in the hospitality industry for young workers to do that, so it was a long process but we got our visas in the end and we came out to Brisbane in 1989.” The girls spent their first night in a Brisbane backpacker’s hostel, where they were told there was only one place for work in hospitality – the Gold Coast. Says Karen: “So off we went to the Goldie, got jobs, and that was where I met Joe.” Joe Griffin was Karen’s boss at a Cavill Avenue restaurant, a successful entrepreneur, somewhat older, and swept off his feet by this spirited lass. But falling in love with a back-

packer is never easy. They were in constant contact, but Karen was off hot air ballooning, exploring the outback, climbing up Uluru when you still could, and then her visa expired and she returned to Scotland. Karen’s husband of more than 20 years leans in conspiratorially across the table in their sun-filled living room in Noosaville.

“What could I do?” Joe asks, beaming. “I sold my business and followed her.” The couple spent a few years in Scotland and travelling around Europe before the climate started to get to Joe. Karen applied for permanent residency and they returned to Queensland, fetching up at Airlie Beach where they joined forces with some Gold Coast friends to establish Barrier Reef Bungee Jump-

ing which, at the time, was the highest bungee jump in Australia. Joe and Karen spent six years at Airlie, marrying on the beach at Hayman Island towards the end of their stay. Next, they spent another year in Scotland before settling in Noosa in 2000, where their daughter Isla was born a couple of years later.

So far it’s a happy story of romance, travel and restless adventure with which so many readers will identify. But fate can play cruel tricks. The Griffins established several successful businesses in Noosa before a heart attack forced Joe to scale back his activities. Then, as the couple planned to enjoy their golden years with Isla, now a teenager, in 2018 Karen was diagnosed with an aggressive, metastatic melanoma cancer, after having a mole removed from the same spot in 2006. She says: “I was getting ready to go on a walk through the National Park with my daughter when I found a tiny little lump, smaller than a pea, in my right groin. My doctor sent me for an ultrasound and some tests straight away, including removal of lymph nodes, and the results came back that the melanoma had moved to my liver. “I had a meltdown when they told me, I was in total shock. I didn’t understand the whole journey that was in front of me and my family. But I was referred to the Adem Crosby Centre at Sunshine Coast University Hospital and within three months on targeted therapy tablets, the cancer had shrunk. After a total of six months, the tests showed it had gone.” But the journey of the Griffin family took a terrifying turn in January last year. “Without warning, the cancer just turned up in my brain,” Karen says. Since that diagnosis, Karen has had surgery to remove tumours from the back and front of her brain, many hours of intense radiation treatment as well as numerous cycles of immunotherapy, which have ultimately proven to be unsuccessful. Karen now lives with incurable Stage 4 cancer. She says: “I’m pretty tough, but I think it’s harder now than when I was first diagnosed because it’s never-ending.” To make matters worse, her current medication of targeted therapy tablets is not listed on the pharmaceutical benefits scheme (PBS), which means she and Joe are out of pocket more than $1000 every week. Karen explains the dilemma: “The Department of Health keeps moving the goal posts. Today, if I was a new patient going into the hospital, I would

Isla bedside with Mum in hospital. go straight onto intravenous immunotherapy and then onto the targeted therapy in tablet form – and would qualify for PBS. But because I started on targeted therapy tablets, and then moved to immunotherapy, I can’t go back to the targeted therapy without paying for the tablets.” This cruel bureaucratic twist has taken its toll on the family finances and daughter Isla, now studying to be a nurse, has put together a GoFundMe campaign, hoping to raise at least $50,000 to keep her mother alive for another year. Says Karen: “I’m at that nervous stage now where the medication has been working for a

Picture: SUPPLIED year and we have to keep our fingers crossed that it will keep working. There’s just no evidence on how long patients like me can last on these tablets. I encourage everyone not just to get their skin checked, but to keep getting their skin checked, and checked again!” Despite her situation, Karen Griffin, now 56, remains sunnily optimistic. She says: “I just take one day at a time, and some days are better than others. But my best medicine is to be outdoors as much as possible. Walking the beach, having a swim, being on the river, listening to live music, enjoying a glass of fizz …” It’s the Noosa lifestyle we all take for grant-

Award opens new doors

Local Greens candidates: Nicole Cornish, Penny Allman-Payne and Craig Armstrong.

Meet Greens candidates The Queensland Greens introduced their local candidates for the next Federal election at an event in Hervey Bay on the 24 October 2021. Nicole Cornish, who has a degree in human services and works in disability support is standing for the seat of Hinkler currently held by the Nationals’ Keith Pitt. Nicole spoke with conviction about the Greens plan for a transition to a low emissions economy which will boost employment as private investment moves away from fossil fuels into emerging green industries. Craig Armstrong, who was the Greens candidate for Maryborough in the last two state elections, is contesting the Wide Bay seat currently held by the Nationals’ Llew O’Brien.

Craig’s work as a chef providing meals for people in aged care and the disability sector has made him acutely aware of what he describes as government neglect of vulnerable people. Craig spoke of his concerns for the future of the National Disability Insurance Scheme under the current government. The Greens’ lead senate candidate for Queensland, Penny Allman-Payne, travelled from Gladstone to attend the event. Penny spoke passionately about the need to restore integrity into politics and for Australia to take meaningful action to address climate change. The next Federal election will be held during or before May 2022.

When Angelique Hallett was nominated for a Sunshine Coast Australia Day Award, she confessed to not knowing too much about them, but since being recognised for her outstanding achievements on the Sunshine Coast, she’s found doors are wide open and the award was very much just the beginning. “Winning the Young Citizen of the Year award has created so many amazing opportunities for me, both personally and professionally,” Angelique said. “I’ve become more confident, my business Loving Hope Bears has been given a platform, and it was rewarding to be acknowledged for the work I have done.” The business Loving Hope Bears offers a touch of comfort to children, who have escaped domestic violence situations, by way of a teddy bear. Angelique is on a mission to ensure every child has something to cuddle through the good times and the bad. Currently studying for her Year 12 exams, Angelique said since winning the award, she had met a great network of professionals who wanted to share their time and experience to assist her. “I went on to be nominated and win other awards including 7NEWS Young Achiever Create Change QLD award and the Secondary Schools Citizenship Award 2021 QLD presented by The Order of Australia Association in Parliament House. “I’ve been invited to many functions that have supported Loving Hope Bears with purchases and donations. “I’ve also been given the amazing opportunity to feature in a book along with other inspirational women leaders. “Perhaps most importantly, this award has brought me a few steps closer to my long-term goal of providing all children across Australia living in domestic violence shelters with a teddy.”

Angelique Hallett created the business Loving Hope Bears. Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson said Angelique embodied everything the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards are about. “The Sunshine Coast Australia Day awards recognise the outstanding achievements and contributions of members of our community to the social fabric of our region,” Mayor Jamieson said. “We all know inspirational people who go one step further to make the Sunshine Coast great and I encourage you to recognise and reward their efforts and achievements by nominating them for an award.” Sunshine Coast Australia Day Award nominations close 6 December. Nominating is simple. Fill out a short online form in one of seven categories, provide 300 – 500 words that highlight your nominee’s achievements or contributions, and upload any documents to help the judges know they’re the one.

Let’s Get Moving!” COMSEQ chair, Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, said the Let’s Get Moving! campaign would highlight the pressing need to get started on planning the world’s greatest sporting event. “The mayors of South East Queensland put our state on this journey to hosting 2032 Games because they recognised it was a unique opportunity to get all levels of government working together to deliver for our region,” Cr Schrinner said. “Now the Games are locked in, we need to start developing a detailed plan on what investment and infrastructure we will need to ensure the Games deliver an economic and social dividend for all residents. “That’s what our Let’s Get Moving campaign is all about, starting the conversation about what’s required to not only deliver the best ever Games, but what’s needed to ensure we protect our region’s incredible lifestyle. “Things like cleaning up our river and waterways, creating new greenspace and delivering better transport connections between venues can be achieved so they deliver benefits before, during and after the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympics Games.”

The Zonta Club of Noosa will again stage a walk as part of its international anti-violence campaign, Zonta Says No. This event is part of 16 Days of Activism held in collaboration with Zontians worldwide and aimed at a local, national and international level to influence the creation and implementation of laws, and to change gender-based attitudes and behaviours to end violence against women and girls. In Australia, one woman in three has experienced physical or sexual assault in her lifetime. This year’s event is a twilight walk and candlelight vigil to be held on Sunday 28 November from 5.30pm at the Lions Park River Stage on Gympie Terrace. Noosa police officer in charge Ben Carroll will speak about local violence against women, followed by an update from Zonta Noosa president Margie Fisher on Zonta In-

ternational’s efforts to assist abused women and girls – particularly those affected by the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan. Tealight candles will be distributed for attendees to carry on a short walk along the river and upon return to the River Stage, the lights will be placed in 50 odd empty shoes, symbolising the Australian women who have been violently killed this year. The event will end with a minute’s silent vigil. Zonta Club of Noosa invites you to wear orange and come walk with us to show support of women around the world by attending our event at Lions Park. From 25 November to 10 December, Zonta Noosa will be spreading the word about this important topic. Look for the Noosa Says No banner in Lions Park, visit our information stands at the Noosa Library and Bendigo Bank, like us on Facebook and follow our journey for those 16 days.

Walk with Zonta Noosa and say no to violence.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has thrown her support behind a region-wide effort to force urgent action on key transport and liveability projects in time for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympics Games. Cr Stewart joined other South East Queensland Mayors in Brisbane on Friday to launch the Let’s Get Moving! campaign to draw attention to the small window of time to begin major projects and have them completed in time for the Games. She said the campaign would highlight the pressing need to get started on many of the projects needed to host a world-class sporting event. “The Council of Mayors started the bidding process for the 2032 Games to put a clear deadline on building the roads, bridges and rail our region will need for the next 20 years and beyond,” Cr Stewart said. “We need to invest in projects that protect and improve our way of life – not because of the Games, but in time for the Games. “But we don’t have a lot of time. Major road and transport projects can take a decade or more to plan and build so we need to get moving to ensure we put our best face forward to the world in 2032.” Cr Stewart said many of the elements needed for a good Games’ experience would be delivered through the SEQ City Deal, and she urged both the State and Federal Governments to sign on as soon as possible. “The Foundation City Deal currently on the table is a good starting point for us to begin work on those regionally important projects. There are certainly more projects that we would like included, but the SEQ City Deal is a starting point for all three levels of government to work together. “Along with all my COMSEQ colleagues, I urge the other two levels of government to sign up to the deal, even if we need to keep talking to make it bigger and better.

Grants to defend islands The highly successful $13.2 million QCoast2100 program will be expanded to defend Queensland’s coastal communities from climate change sea level rises, storm tides and coastal erosion. An additional $3 million will be provided to expand the Coast2100 program, which will help 31 local councils including Noosa Council, implement their Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategies and enable councils to begin critical on-ground works to safeguard coastal communities. Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said another $500,000 provided through the Queensland Climate Resilient Councils (QCRC) grants program would help four islands to plan for and respond to the challenges and opportunities arising from climate change. “Our Queensland Climate Action Plan is supporting communities across Queensland to do their bit to drive down emissions and protect their communities,” Ms Scanlon said. “We know that coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and the Palaszczuk Government is acting to support these communities. “It is vital we understand the threats to these homes and businesses and how we can best manage those risks. “This new funding will also help communities in Far North Queensland and Cape York develop strategies for their communities. “But we also need the Federal Government to step up and act quickly to help these communities in this fight against climate change.” The funding boost is a partnership between the Palaszczuk Government, Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) and councils across the state to tackle climate change at a local level. LGAQ president and Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson welcomed the extension of the QCoast2100 program which he said

Funding for climate change action. has been well supported by councils. Mayor Jamieson said coastal councils across Queensland had produced some outstanding work in developing coastal hazard adaptation strategies to better enable their communities to respond to the impacts of a changing climate. “The extension of the program provides all 31 coastal councils with the opportunity to complete this important work on behalf of their communities,” Mayor Jamieson said. Great Keppel, Palm, Masig and Magnetic islands have all begun exploring how they can reduce their emissions and waste through community-developed and led measures, while also creating jobs as part of Queensland’s Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan. On Palm Island, the council will start an environmentally-friendly bus service for the community and also refine plans for a waste and recycling facility. On Masig Island, a dedicated sustainability officer will trial smart solar streetlights and a community market garden, lead a campaign on reducing waste and support communityled traditional knowledge-sharing and education.

Funding boost to defend against climate change. Magnetic Island will install a community bio-regen machine to turn food waste into fertiliser, host workshops for community and business and begin studies on the feasibility to establish a microgrid for solar energy. Great Keppel Island will roll out a household and resort composting system to capture 30 per cent of food waste, create a campaign to promote sustainability to both locals and visi-

tors, and develop a climate resilience plan. As a pilot project, the diversity of the four islands provides novel environments to deliver tailored project proposals aimed at lowering emissions and improving resilience. This funding for the four islands is part of the larger $3.5 million QCRC partnership helping councils develop alliances and strategies to tackle climate change.

Research boost A USC researcher who has designed a novel 3D system that can mimic the cellular architecture of a human placenta has been awarded a Federal Ideas grant to continue her innovative research. USC lecturer in biomedical science Dr Georgia Kafer said the new in vitro modelling system would lead to better understanding at the cellular level of the early cause of placental defects that could cause pregnancy complications. She has secured almost $395,000 from the National Health and Medical Research Council Ideas Grant scheme for the research, being conducted with research partners Dr Melinda Dean and Dr Jo James at USC’s Moreton Bay campus. “Through our approach of growing cells in a hanging culture system on 3D-printed scaffolds, we have created the only known model which can mimic the true structure of the placenta,” said Dr Kafer, who specialises in stem cell and placenta biology and regenerative medicine. “The placenta supports the life of the baby, and during pregnancy, nutrients, waste and oxygen cross special placental cells – called trophoblasts – which are the key to this exchange between the mother and growing baby. “Trophoblast dysfunction is a major contributor to medical conditions during pregnancy, such as fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preeclampsia, which can have severe health consequences.” Dr Kafer said fetal growth restriction was strongly associated with oxidative stress which could lead to inflammation and the death of the specialist placental cells. “Early in pregnancy, these cells may experience premature rises in oxygen levels that can damage the placenta and risk the health of the mother and fetus, including failure of the baby to reach its growth potential,” she said. “Until now, we have not been able to ac-

So, many questions remain unanswered regarding the role of oxidative stress in influencing the health of the fetus.” Dr Kafer said the research project would investigate the impacts of using a combination of methods, including using a high-resolution microscope and specialised molecular biology techniques. The USC research was one of 248 projects announced last week by Minister for Health and Aged Care Greg Hunt to share in $239 million of funding made available through the

National Health and Medical Research Council Ideas Grant scheme. USC Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) Professor Ross Young congratulated Dr Kafer and her team on their success in securing the funding. “This is an exciting project that aims to establish in placental villi modelling as a tool to broaden the international capability of placental research that we hope will have a substantial impact on pregnancy and fetal health,” Professor Young said.

Bear ‘nose’ he’s just awesome USC’s Detection Dogs for Conservation team is celebrating an international award for intrepid Bear, the six-year-old former rescue dog now known across the world for his work in tracking koalas after Australia’s 2019-20 bushfires. Research Fellow Dr Romane Cristescu, who leads the USC team, said Bear received “extra pats and extra play” after he was honoured – via video – by IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) at the Animal Action Awards event in London’s House of Lords. She said Bear’s sense of smell, energy and enthusiasm for play had made him ideal for research projects such as recognising the scent of koala fur in the bush. IFAW, which sponsors Bear, said the dog had been “a ray of hope” as he searched burnt habitat to help the USC/ IFAW team and their partners rescue koalas. Dr Cristescu, an ecologist and former veterinarian, said the USC/IFAW koala detection dog was continuing to contribute to wildlife rescues and research with the team’s other canine colleagues. “Bear and our team are studying the effects of the 2019-20 bushfires on koala health and habitat density in collaboration with IFAW,” she said. “In addition, Bear has an ongoing day job of locating koalas for welfare rescue missions, in collaboration with local rescue groups. He is always happy to give a paw to find koalas as part of the Detection Dogs for Conservation’s other research activities.”

Ketamine boosts brain Neuroscience researchers from USC Australia have found a link between low-dose ketamine treatment and increased grey matter volume in areas of the brain associated with depression and suicidality. The study, from USC’s Thompson Institute, was published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, with the team behind it now looking to conduct a similar study for post-traumatic stress disorder. Lead authors Cyrana Gallay and Grace Forsyth said that after a six-week treatment of low-dose ketamine, areas of the brain associated with depression and suicidality showed improvement. “In people suffering from depression, we expect to see atrophied brain tissue in certain regions, meaning that brain cells may be shrunken, shut down or not communicating properly,” Ms Gallay said. “After six weeks of low-dose ketamine treatment, we found increased grey matter volume in key brain areas associated with suicidality and depression; effectively mirroring what a healthier brain would look like.” The team clinically administered oral ketamine in micro-doses ranging from 0.05 to 3.0 mg/kg, which is far below the dosing commonly used in medical anaesthesia. Ms Forsyth said previous studies had shown low-dose ketamine promoted cell function and increased cell branches and communication pathways within a matter of days. “Low-dose ketamine activates the glutamatergic system, an essential, naturally occurring chemical in the brain responsible for the promotion of learning and memory, among other key brain functions,” Ms Forsyth said. The findings follow an earlier published paper by the same author group in Translational Psychiatry, which found that 69 per cent of participants reported clinically significant reduction in suicide ideation. Director of the Thompson Institute and

Grace Forsyth (left) and Cyrana Gallay at USC’s Thompson Institute. senior researcher on the study Professor Jim Lagopoulos said an increasing number of similar studies were showing positive impacts from low-dose psychedelic treatments. “Psychedelics delivered in a clinical setting are a growing field of interest and there is enormous potential for developing treatments that are accessible, sustainable and potentially more effective than the treatments we have now,” Professor Lagopoulos said. “Ketamine is used as a medical anaesthetic, particularly for children because it is so safe

and well-tolerated. It has an incredible history of helping burns victims and veterans recovering from surgery and was discovered almost by mistake for use in mental health after medical patients began reporting better moods after their treatment.” “However, during the post-war era, misuse and social stigma eroded the public perception of ketamine. But despite concern that it can be addictive, in a clinical setting we find that people tend to be able to go longer periods of time between low-dose ketamine treatments.”

Professor Lagopoulos said there was a pressing need to consider new and alternative treatments for mental health conditions. “The mental health system is facing unprecedented demand, so we need to look past the treatments that really haven’t been updated for a long time and consider new options that have a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests they are safe and effective,” he said.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK RIDLEY ROAD ABC TV, Saturday, 8.20pm

Based on Jo Bloom’s hit novel, you can expect an edge-of-your-seat thriller that ticks all the boxes, featuring romance, a period setting and espionage. To top it off, the story is loosely based on real events. It’s the kind of show that you could easily find yourself bingeing on all four episodes in one sitting – you’ve been warned. Starring Rory Kinnear (Black Mirror), Tamzin Outhwaite (New Tricks) and captivating newcomer Agnes O’Casey, Ridley Road is soapishly compelling from the get-go. In 1960s London, a young, soon-to-wed Jewish hairdresser risks her life when she joins an underground movement trying to stop the rise of the far right.

BLITZ SPIRIT WITH LUCY WORSLEY SBS, Friday, 8.30pm

The saying “keep calm and carry on” – seen on tea towels and posters in kitchens and living rooms worldwide – is simply a motivational phrase for some. Indeed, it may be a shock to learn the saying’s origins in this gripping documentary presented by historian Lucy Worsley (pictured). Used in British propaganda material during Hitler’s relentless bombing campaign in the UK, known as the Blitz, the words take on a much darker meaning. Worsley explores the lives of six real people who lived, worked and volunteered during the Blitz, using archive material to reveal the myth behind the Blitz spirit.

THE BACK SIDE OF TELEVISION SBS Viceland, Monday, 9.20pm

Sometimes, it’s hard to know whether to cringe or be thrilled by another series based on a great book. Normal People recently proved how expertly the tricky adaptation process can be done, but the jury’s out on this reworking of Malorie Blackman’s acclaimed book in which racism is inversed. The premise of an alternate world where Europe has been colonised by black people is arresting but this six-episode series never seems to shift gear out of the young adult genre. In the second instalment, the Romeo and Julietesque Callum and Sephy (Jack Rowan and Masali Baduza, both pictured) are desperate to be alone together.

Here’s a great new three-part series that dusts the cobwebs off the weird and downright misjudged moments in Australian TV history. It’s not a celebration of the most terrible soundbites, but rather an insightful and humorous exploration of what happened, and why. Hosted by comedian Mitch McTaggart (pictured), it’s a shrewd look at the worst on the box throughout the past 70 years. In this premiere episode, many things are explored including how true crime has gotten worse, how psychics are never much help, and which network is preoccupied with missing British tourist Peter Falconio. It’s fascinating stuff.

Raising PTSD awareness By Abbey Cannan A free family fun day raising awareness and providing help for those living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) will be held in Noosa on Saturday 20 November. Independent marquees with representatives from an array of Noosa’s dedicated health service providers will be available to help you create your own pathway to mental fitness. The event will feature PTSD Dogs, chair yoga, Tai Chi, interviews, entertainment by the SandFlys and a free sausage sizzle. This initiative is a joint project of Noosa’s five Rotary Clubs; Noosa Heads, Noosa Daybreak, Noosa, Cooroy and Eumundi. Rotary Club Noosa Heads member Bob Birkhead said attendees could chat with up to 16 service providers for their own plan for PTSD support. “The great part has been watching the way the five Rotary clubs have all collaborated on this event together,“ Mr Birkhead said. “We intend to make this an annual event. If this works, this could very easily be a transportable hub that could be applied to other Rotary clubs around Australia. “We’ve spoken with a lot of people and we’ve been amazed at the positive feedback. The spirit of the Noosa community is going to rise off something like this.“ Mr Birkhead said most people had been through some type of trauma throughout their life. “We’ve all got a story to tell. If you’ve got an issue, you don’t have to think you’re alone. Come and get help,“ he said. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the collaboration typified the ongoing community spirit of Noosa’s community. “It is so heart-warming to see five local Rotary clubs work together to initiate this type of event,” she said. “Council continues to deliver its highly suc-

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said PTSD was often a hidden affliction affecting members of our community. “Early intervention and support are essential, and it’s wonderful that five of our local Rotary Clubs plus one Lions Club are collaborating to facilitate this event, Beautiful Day by the River,“ Ms Bolton said. “The concept was presented to me by the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads where the impacts of lengthy delays between PTSD diagnosis and specialist appointments are profound

Speak up on liveability It’s time to rate your neighbourhood and provide thoughts on what’s needed to make Noosa’s suburbs and villages even better places to live. Noosa Council has teamed up with independent research agency PlaceScore to conduct a Liveability Survey for Noosa. Mayor Clare Stewart said the results would help create an even better Noosa for tomorrow. “We want to understand what the community considers to be an ideal neighbourhood, it could be parks, public spaces, buzzing shopping precincts or community safety,” Cr Stewart said. “Accurate, rich data is vital as council determines how to allocate resources in this post COVID world. “A strong response rate will give us solid evidence based data to help make good decisions for the future, particularly with our budget planning about to start.“ In a recent Australian Liveability Census conducted by Place Score, over 70 per cent of respondents valued spending time in nature when incorporated into their neighbourhood. Since Covid, the survey recorded a nine per cent increase in how much people value walking/jogging and bike paths. “I really hope every Noosa residents from teenagers to the elderly take the time to provide their thoughts in this 15-minute survey,” Mayor Cr Clare Stewart said. Simply complete the survey and you have the chance to win one of five $100 vouchers to be used at a number of Noosa businesses. The survey is open until midnight December 5. Council’s principal strategic planner Michelle Tucker said the survey was a vital tool in helping to plan and develop suburbs. “We see this as a way of better understanding what the community values and cares about,” Ms Tucker said.

A Noosa resident completes the Liveability Survey to help create an even better community. “Anecdotal evidence suggests more people are selecting nature, the outdoors as well accessibility of local amenity, as being important in their ideal neighbourhood. “We really want to be able to delve down into good quality information and we really want to work with the community to provide us with that information.“ Ms Tucker said the survey would provide diverse information broken down into specific suburbs and aged groups. “This really enables us to tailor our services and facilities to particular communities.“ Cr Stewart said, “Please take the time to share what really matters to you and how your local neighbourhood is performing.” Take the survey at placescore.org/noosa

The Ussher family has turned to Africa as part of its plan to revive its Kin Kin property with chemicalfree grazing and mushroom farming, as ERLE LEVEY reports.

Out of Africa to Kin Kin herd each year. Genetic benefits aside, these cattle are an inherently docile breed - something which is valued dearly, Bryant said. “We want the animals to enjoy their life on the farm while we do the same alongside them, and thus love having cattle which bring calm to the property.’’ The Eastwell name has a deep history in the family, originating from Ireland. There were two dairy farms, Bryant said. The back farm would bring the cream to the road on a sled. There was no power, no running water. Arland made great efforts to shifting the property to beef. He adopted a pasture improvement program with the intention of ensuring the land could provide produce for more than the short term. New plant species were introduced to improve biodiversity. Arland brought Santa Gertrudis in but they didn’t do well. Instead, he became one of earliest farmers to introduce Brahmans to the area. It was about the same time as Spring Valley Brahmans were being bred at Gympie. This had followed the discovery of the susceptibility to ticks of British breeds. The switch to Brahmans eliminated the need to spray the animals with tick-resistant chemicals. Through maintaining ecological balance and genuine care for the environment, Eastwell has flourished over many decades of farming, and was set to provide a healthy and happy basis for the family’s second generation of farmers. After graduating from Ag College, Bryant managed properties at Chinchilla. They were living in Toowoomba where Susie was working in education. Bryant became a board member of Resources Consulting Services (RCS) - holistically-integrated education, training and advisory services to the agricultural sector, both nationally and internationally. RCS works with individuals, families, corporates and government groups, helping them to grow productive, profitable agricultural businesses within regenerative landscapes. “It allows us to work on our business in a board structure,’’ Bryant said.

They are doing it by introducing a new breed of cattle to Australia, but one that has been on the African landscape for many years and developed a natural resistance to ticks and disease.

Bryant discovered the South African breed Nguni were better suited to the tick-prone environment of the Sunshine Coast. Highly praised for its fertility, the breed also provides a natural resistance to other diseases. Nguni were introduced to Eastwell in 2019, and are gradually occupying more of the farm’s

It was like being in Africa. The lush grass, the treed backdrop, the thunder clouds looming in the north-west over the range. In front of us were cattle of many colours. Some looked like zebras with their black and white markings. Others had distinctive red markings. Then there was the dominant shape of the long-horned bulls. Strong. Exotic. Revered. Graceful white birds rose and flew off, silhouetted against the green of the foliage along the creek. It was almost as if you expected to see Robert Redford and Meryl Streep having a picnic under one of the age-old Moreton Bay fig trees. A scene from Out of Africa. It was not hard to picture a Zulu or Masai warrior standing there on one leg, the other balanced against his knee and using a spear as his support. Standing, watching the herd of cattle grazing. I was with Bryant and Susie Ussher at their Kin Kin property, Eastwell Farms. It’s an undulating chemical-free property of 400 acres that has been through a number of incarnations since Kin Kin was first settled in the mid 1800s. Bryant’s parents Arland and Annette moved to Moran Group Rd from Longreach in 1969, changing the property from dairying to beef cattle. There was small cropping in the valley as well as plantation timber - tea was even being grown. Part of the reason for the move was to provide better education for their children, rather than having to rely on the distance learning. That eventually led to Bryant attending Gatton Agricultural College and gaining two associate diploma courses - in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Today, Susie, son Alex, and Bryant each share a passion for preserving the earth and working with nature, not against it. They understand the necessity for a holistic approach to agriculture and practice with the future in mind. In doing so they have been the latest to be

“We developed the farms into cells for timecontrolled grazing, and I saw the benefits really quickly. “I was convinced the same approach could be used here.’’ After years of preparation, Bryant and Susie officially took over the family farm in 2018. Their sights were set on improving soil quality through carbon sequestering, making great sacrifices to achieve such. Quite simply, they came, saw what was needed to be done, and evaluated. With these short-, mid-, and long-term gauges of success in place, the journey began with the gradual implementation of infrastructure to support rotational grazing. “We have put a lot of money into infrastructure in a short space of time,’’ Bryant said, “but the benefits came extremely quickly. “We set a priority list of things needing to be done. Water, fencing, yards. “Pastures come from being able to manage the animals. “We can see some serious movement in pasture health by being able to manage the animals on the grass. “When you can allow plants to grow to good second stage growth and not be chewed - they look fabulous.’’ This meant the need for the 400-acre property to be divided into more than 40 paddocks, each with access to plumbed troughs. By installing troughs shared between paddocks, cattle would be less likely to disturb natural water systems. This is of great concern, as the Kin Kin Creek flows through the property. Ensuring a constant water flow means the cattle would be less stressed. They would not feel the water could run out on them which causes aggressive behaviour. A system of six-way paddocks meant one trough could serve six paddocks. All had electrified fencing with aluminium posts and plastic droppers. A Bos bag fly treatment and detergent back rub were installed near the troughs, along with a supplement trailer. The idea is for cattle to move paddocks daily, meaning there is no over-grazing and ground cover can flourish. Developing the infrastructure was initially a steady process, but Bryant managed to wrangle the assistance of younger members of the family to speed things along. Fencing and yard construction was completed two years in advance of the initial target, allowing for other goals to be pursued. New yards were started in 2020 with the thought of handling 400 head, Bryant said. “We started a herd with whatever breeds we could. Most of it was out of necessity. “The cattle go through the race monthly so we can keep an eye on what they are doing. “They are weighed for growth rates. Report-

ing will show if there’s an issue. “It’s been pretty full-on. The old yards were near the creek to make it easy for the dip. “We moved them back to higher ground so they would not be as boggy. “Susie was on board very quickly as to the business value of the investment. “Dad said he had poured 100 ton of gravel as foundations for the old yards ... but they were still boggy.’’ The Nguni cattle have their heritage in the tribes from Africa. Their colouring indicates the different tribal background. They came into Australia from a small gene pool. At Kin Kin they are mixed with Droughtmaster, Brahman and some Brangus as well. “Crossing only with Nguni bulls we hope to have a high Nguni content cow to cross back to beef breeds if needed. “They make exceptionally good mothers, - highly fertile, placid, and with a lovely temperament. “They are very inquisitive … they come up to the buggy and all want to say ’good day.’ “They have good traits, including the reputation of being the most productive beef breed in the world. “They are highly fertile - up to 20 years come into calf early, mature early and go longer than most. “Most breeds can be docile if treated right but these are intelligent. They know what’s going on. “They would have been shepherded everywhere, corralled at night to keep them safe from lions. “Each have their own personalities. “They are a bit of a smaller animal. On this sort of coastal and hilly country, big cattle struggle.’’ After years of interest, developments started in late 2020 on the infrastructure to support gourmet mushroom farming. The farm was set to become multi-industry. The world of fungi had perked Susie’s interest so four shipping containers were set and repurposed on-site. Two plumbed, wired and lit 20-foot storage containers, as well as two 40-foot containers which house automated temperature control, humidity and oxygen regulation, and routine light-cycling capability. The layout of these containers was carefully devised following many consultations with cultivation experts. Early 2021 saw the harvest of the farm’s first oyster mushroom crop. After months of finetuning and process development, Eastwell was ready to host a gourmet mushroom farm with publicly available produce. August 2021 saw the farm putting product to market.

“We are at about half the production we think we can manage,’’ Bryant said. They sell at Noosa Farmers Market as well as provide to wholesalers and restaurants in Noosa, Organika in Noosa and Kandanga Farm Shop. This week sees the start of the beef products also going to the market. The meat will be processed in Gympie and then the Mary Valley. Drop-off points will be arranged from the Sunshine Coast to Gympie as well as their stall at Noosa Farmers Market. “It’s a good-tasting beef,’’ Bryant said. “We think it will make for a better sized cut. “There has been quite a lot of interest. “It will be a boxed selection of cuts. “There is interest from restaurants already because it’s grass fed. “Noosa has the name … you can have it on a table from Melbourne to Mackay.’’ On the way back from looking at the cattle

Bryant told me a bit more about his father. Along with then neighbour and later Noosa shire councillor Tos Barnett and Chris Chapman, Arland used to own the old Kin Kin Butter Factory that was right in the centre of town. It was a creative arts centre and incubator of local talent. But it had to be demolished after a mini tornado ripped through the town in the mid 1980s. I remember following council heavy equipment out that was clearing the road of fallen trees. The butter factory was badly damaged so the three men donated the land to the people of Kin Kin for community purposes and has been transformed into Central Park. So, what a day it turned out for me. Not only reliving those roaring days of Kin Kin but being able to help out in the paddocks, then get a ride back on the tractor to the homestead. It took me back years.

Coast puts cash to care The Wishlist Spring Carnival lunch raised $280,000 for life-changing health support of Sunshine Coast children and their families. A record crowd of more than 820 attended the event at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre, Twin Waters last Friday. It was a welcome back after the 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid-19. Now in its 13th year, the Spring Carnival luncheon has raised more than $1.5m for lifesaving research, hospital accommodation close to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, vital equipment and invaluable therapy services. Event founder and managing partner at Travis Schultz & Partners, Travis Schultz, said he was inspired by this event every year. “The Sunshine Coast community never ceases to blow me away with their giving camaraderie and generosity,” he said. “After last year’s hiatus, it was exciting to see the spring carnival concept we coined 13 years

ago back in action and fundraising for Wishlist. “Thanks to the generous organising committee, sponsors, supporters and guests, we raised a record amount yesterday which will go a long way towards helping shape Australia’s first Wishlist Centre.” The Wishlist Centre is the latest project being undertaken by government, business and the community - an additional 18 rooms of low and no-cost accommodation for patients receiving on-going treatment at Sunshine Coast University Hospital. It is Australia’s first facility to provide patient accommodation, primary healthcare and complementary therapies under one roof. The event included an impressive lineup of speakers including Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM, Dr Rachel Taylor, Australian poet Rupert McCall, and hosted by Hot 91’s Sam and Ash. There were several identities in the crowd from Noosa helping to raise funds for Wishlist.

Noosa Parade needs a cycle way I am writing to you regarding the urgent need for a dedicated cycle-way through Noosa Sound. As a resident of Noosa for the last seven years and visitor for the last 60 years; I am surprised that a locality such as ours, with natural beauty and great weather, all so conducive to exercise and outdoor activity, is lacking in not offering a safe alternative to vehicular transport. Generally, the Noosa area is well provided for when it comes to segregated cycle-ways, except for the important and busy route along Noosa Parade between Nancy Cato Park and Noosa Central. I travel this route almost daily to swim, so have a good understanding of the dangers presented along this important corridor. I personally was involved in an incident when riding within the marked cycle way, only to have had a car door flung open directly in front of me, resulting with me careering over the car door and landing on my back in the middle of the traffic lane. I was really lucky as no car, truck, bus or ute was speeding past at the time, as is frequently observable. Perhaps, and thankfully, because I am a reasonably fit 67 year-old, I received only severe bruising, no broken bones. I logged this incident with council in January 2020. The nature of the problem here are the existing line markings which are designated for a cycle way, yet don’t allow for situations where a cyclist is forced to avoid an open vehicle door, and/or share the road-width with buses, boat trailers, trades utes and trailers, trucks, garbage bins and alike. Cyclists either have to stop or move into the vehicle lane to avoid an accident. The current speed limit is 50kph. I contend that as a large percentage of cyclists are older people, mostly travelling between 5-10kph, this is a huge speed differential and causes cyclists and motorists stress. Potential exists for serious injury or death. Nearly everyday I witness incidents of frustrated cyclists and motorists along this route. I see parents with toddlers in cycle trailers being passed by vehicles travelling 50kph with less than a metre clearance, unaware of the danger an open car door would present to them. I have warned them as best I can to the dangers involved and always much appreciated. What’s to be done? As an interim measure, within the existing 50kph zone, vehicles should be restricted to 25kph when cyclists are passing parked vehicles. The most cost-effective long term solution would be the removal of vehicle parking along one side of Noosa Parade, and creation of a dual direction cycle way as has been done successfully in cities throughout Australia and overseas, along with the construction of bridge widening or dedicated bridge crossings for cyclists at Noosa Park East and Noosa Park West. The above solution could be achieved with minimal cost and inconvenience as most residences along Noosa Parade have off street parking and/or driveways for service vehicles, and it also leaves the centre verge intact. There are approximately 90 parking spaces along the entirety of the north side of Noosa Parade between the bridge at Noosa West Park and Noosa Central a distance of approximately 1km. Council would have the best idea which side of Noosa Parade, north or south, would be preferable for removal of parking. The south side has a bit more verge and more holiday accommodation with off street parking.

LENSCAPE

Ray Collins of Sunrise Beach “rescued this little fella from two marauding black crows / ravens”. The very cute ringtail possum later returned safely to his nest, Ray said. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

A more expensive solution would be to remove or narrow the centre verge along Noosa Parade and removal of the existing five turnoff lanes at street intersections, and replace these with small circumference drive-over roundabouts for garbage trucks and alike. This would create a uniform width for roadway cycle way and footpath. The rebuilding of the existing footpath and creation of a one-way cycle way beside the footpath inside parked vehicles, thus creating necessary separation between cyclists and vehicular traffic. Any solution that continues to have the cycle way next to the traffic lane doesn’t solve the dangers of proximity and speed differential. It’s very important to segregate cycles and vehicles so any solution that involves parked vehicles must put cycles on the footpath side of parked vehicles. There must be separation for safety. Ultimately a long term solution would be a dedicated cycle way boardwalk routed away from Noosa Parade. Ross Marks, Noosaville

Self-reflection before insults As one of three people who commented on the School Strike 4 Climate, I found the next week’s comments by Steve Hall and Dylan White very interesting. How often do we see where those who are incapable of rational debate resort to insults. So we three simple people are accused of “raving idiocy“ “blighted idiocy“ and we “should shut our stupid ignorant mouths“. We obviously do not understand basic science and should know about “the increasing severiity of drought, flood fires and storms“ and pay no notice to the fact that the IPCC has comprehensively debunked this claim. And of course “Australians are the worst in the world at reducing emissions“ so we have to ignore the fact that a nation like China is currently producing 28 per cent of the world’s emissions and ignoring the rest of the world. Sorry, unsubstantiated rhetoric is not science and one should look at oneself before calling other people ignorant. John Havilah, Noosa Heads

We need to do better It boggles me that people are still coming out of the woodwork to deny global warming. I will be equally gob-smacked if people believe that the Morrison Government is serious about reducing emissions. 55 per cent of their proposal to reduce emissions to zero by 2050 rely on technology. This is the same party that, as soon as they came to power, gutted the CSIRO, by slashing 500 jobs from our premier scientific research body, and closing eight research sites. Those CSIRO scientists worked in areas of climate adaptation, biosecurity, digital productivity and services, renewable energy, biosensor technology in food manufacturing, preventive health measures, medical research, sustainable agriculture and marine science, to name a few. If you are reading this on a device connected to wifi, thank the CSIRO. In an unprecedented move, the Australian stand at the Glasgow climate summit was fronted by a placard advertising a gas company, proposing the very expensive and unworkable ‘carbon capture and storage’ technology. Given that the gas industry is a very large emitter of methane - a greenhouse gas at least 25 times more potent than CO2 - this really is very inappropriate. As a nation we can greatly improve, and a sensible start would be to re-fund the CSIRO,

to bring home many scientists who have had to go offshore to obtain employment. We also have to wean ourselves off fossil fuels ASAP. Unfortunately, the federal government gives over $10 billion per annum to the fossil fuel industry, which, in turn, donates generously to both major parties. We need to do much better than this! Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Zero emissions The article “ Youth For Climate Action” (NT 5/11/21) portrays a group of teenage hypocrites fretting on the lack of action by our politicians on climate change. These school children are indoctrinated in air-conditioned classrooms, classrooms that have ultra large modern TVs, computers and other electronic equipment that consume vast amounts of electricity. Their parents drive them to school in gas-guzzling fossil-fuelled SUVs. Almost every child has a mobile phone and laptop. At home, one or more TVs, air conditioner, a myriad of electronic devices that consume electricity, electricity generated by fossil fuels. And don’t forget the fossil-fuelled gasguzzlers for mum and dad. If these hypocrites really cared about climate change they would ask the teacher to turn the permanently on air conditioner, the TV and other electronic equipment off. They would ask their parents to switch off all the coal-fired carbon-producing electrical devices. These hypocritical children have forgotten what legs are for, try walking to school, ride your bike, use a pen and paper to make notes instead of the laptop. The elusive unicorn of zero emissions can only be achieved when childish hypocrites stop destroying the planet they profess to protect. Colin Bond, Tewantin

Consult science If Richard Deane (NT 5 Nov) was serious about wanting answers to his climate-related questions he could have consulted some of the scientific papers in which they have been answered comprehensively. For example, he asks why the greenhouse effect of H2O is ignored by climate experts. The answer is that it isn’t ignored. All climate models fully account for the effect of water vapour in the atmosphere. Similarly, climate models don’t omit the sun as the source of energy – they include it as the fundamental source. The rest of his questions are equally misleading. His notion of calling climate experts to account is farcical. Has he no idea how science works? Climate scientists, like all scientists, account upfront for their own findings by exhaustively publishing their evidence and analyses for anyone to examine and challenge. They have been doing this for decades now. Over ninety-nine per cent of them agree that present climate change is the result of humanproduced greenhouse gases. If anyone should be held to account it’s those who can’t be bothered checking the science yet continue to repeat falsehoods based on no evidence at all. Graham Coghill, Marcus Beach

Face reality Unfortunately I missed the recent Kids for Climate Action rally at Cotton Tree. No doubt

John Havilah, who wrote the letter titled, Climate talk child cruelty (NT 29/10) wasn’t there either. What dismays me is the constant climate change sceptic rant put forward by the likes of John Havilah, under the guise of protecting our children and making them less fearful. Fortunately, most of our young adults and children can see through the lies they are being fed by sceptic adults and dishonest, untrustworthy governments like our own. They are not stupid and many of them are extremely knowledgeable and articulate. Dishonesty and denialism makes young people angry, and rightly so. They are witnessing the effects of climate change. Many have suffered the ravages of bushfires and seen millions of our wildlife dying and habitats destroyed. We cannot protect our youth from these disasters, and to try and sugar-coat what’s happening all around us is despicable and shameful. What we need to be doing is facing up to the reality by allowing our youth to speak out and show their frustration. We need to build hope by putting them in touch with all the wonderful, innovative and exciting things that worthwhile human beings are doing to combat climate change. They don’t want to hear lies about temperature and emissions. To quote the Climate Council of Australia, “the standard process for accounting for a country’s emissions is based on domestic emissions only. Australia’s exported fossil fuels result in an amount of emissions that is about 2.5 times greater than our domestic emissions. If our exported emissions were included (and our imported emissions excluded) Australia would be the world’s fifth or sixth largest emitter”. Morrison’s performance at the COP26 has been woeful. As the Climate Council of Australia states, “ meeting the goal of net zero emissions in 2050 means that no new coal, no new oil and no new gas projects of any kind can be built- anywhere! We already have the technology needed to replace most coal, oil and gas consumption worldwide. Instead of pouring money into unproven technologies, we need our government to deliver an effective climate policy that enables existing technologies to drive down emissions this decade”. This is what our youth is asking for. Is it too much? Horrible things happen and it breaks my heart to see young people suffer. However it breaks my heart even more when young people are not supported in their fight for honesty, action and justice for our world. Greta Thunberg is a fine example of honesty and integrity. She has put herself through excruciating pain and anguish to carry her message to the world. It heartens me to see young people taking inspiration from her. Children are not being used “cruelly”, as John Havilah puts it. Honest people are supporting our kids by giving them correct facts. Youth respects honesty, not hogwash. We need to hold their hands and walk with them; to show compassion, respect their anger and foster hope. Our leaders need to take firm and responsible action. That is the only true thing that will alleviate fear. Kathy Sweet, Tewantin

Provide answers, not names The three letters regarding climate change in NT 5/11 are worlds apart. Richard Deane’s letter was intelligent with five scientific points refuting CO2 as the cause of global warming. Steve Hall and Dylan White’s main thrush of their letters was using derogatory names against people who may disagree with their views, a practice commonly used by the the Green/Left to shout down nonbelievers. A couple of points I like to refute in Mr Hall’s letter, firstly, out of control bushfires are caused by global warming, the undergrowth which the Green/Left local councils and state governments refuse to control burn before the start of the fire season, for reasons I cannot understand, are the reasons for out of control bushfires. Australia’s First Inhabitants knew how to manage the land with fire. Secondly Mr Hall, you state that Australia’s efforts to reduce CO2 emissions as the worst in the world. It’s on record Australia is performing better than a lot of countries including Canada and New Zealand. I cannot also understand how the Green/Left will not chastise the world’s largest CO2 emissions of 40 per cent by China, the second largest world economy and not a developing nation. Maybe you might get Greta Thunberg to sail to China and tell them to rein in their CO2 emissions. I challenge Steve Hall and Dylan White to answer Richard Deane’s five scientific questions by intelligent answers and not by your customary name calling. Tom Byrnes, Noosa Heads

Boost for sport fans Australia’s first dedicated outdoor pickleball venue is coming soon to Noosa and it’s sure to be a big hit for local players and the economy with a $248,900 Australian Government investment contributing towards the $497,800 project through Round 5 of the Building Better Regions Fund. This project isn’t just a win for fans of the sport - think combining tennis, badminton, and table tennis into one dynamic game - the venue will host multi-day tournaments for hundreds of players, providing a real boost to Noosa tourism and hospitality sectors generating an estimated economic benefit of more than $2.2 million. Noosa Council will also receive $50,000 towards its Noosa Shire Industry and Employment Activation Plan, a strategy to create highvalue jobs, support existing businesses and

attract new businesses and entrepreneurs to Noosa, diversifying the local economy. With investments such as the Peregian Digital Hub, Noosa is already known as a centre of tech-innovation and this roadmap will provide a clear path to build on that reputation, creating new job opportunities for future growth. As the end of the school year rapidly approaches, year 12 students will also have one eye on the future – and I have produced a School Leavers’ Guide for 2021 to help them plan for life after school. The guide has been delivered to local high schools or it can be downloaded from my website llewobrien.com.au/one-stop-shop Finally, a reminder that if you’re thinking about Christmas shopping – don’t forget to shop and buy in local businesses, where every dollar you spend maintains local jobs.

Round up of Noosa Council actions and opportunities We all know Noosa is a terrific place to live but we’re here to prove it. Noosa Council has teamed up with independent research agency PlaceScore to conduct a Liveability Survey for Noosa. We’d love to hear your thoughts on what’s needed to make Noosa suburbs and villages even better places to live, work, visit and shop. By taking part you can help shape your ideal community. We want to understand what the community considers to be an ideal neighbourhood- whether it be parks, public spaces, buzzing shopping precincts or community safety. We want to hear from you, and a strong response will give us solid evidencebased data to help make good decisions for the future, particularly as we prepare to start our budget planning. By completing the survey, you are not only helping to shape our future direction, but you could also win a $100 voucher. This survey is open until 5 December 2021 so please head to placescore.org/noosa to have your say. As many of you already know, Noosa Council has re-joined the South East Queensland Council of Mayors. The SEQ Council of Mayors has done a tremendous job on a number of matters in recent years, including playing a pivotal role in securing the Olympic Games. The Olympics is a once-in-a-generation event that has the potential to accelerate investment in transport, infrastructure, tourism and so much more across the south-east and it’s time Noosa supported the work of this organisation. Along with Councillors Wegener and Jurisevic and our acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock, I was fortunate enough to be on hand for the launch of the SEQ Council of Mayors Let’s Get Moving Campaign in Brisbane which calls on much-needed transport and liveability projects in time for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games. The Let’s Get Moving Campaign is about starting a conversation about what’s required to not only deliver the best ever Games but what’s needed to ensure we protect our combined SEQ region’s incredible lifestyle. For Noosa to have a voice in this space, we must be sitting at the table and with the re-joining of the SEQ Council of Mayors we are doing just that. The process of recruiting a new chief executive officer is well under way. Former CEO

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart. Brett de Chastel retired on the 2 November 2021 bringing to end a local government career spanning more than three decades. He guided three Mayors and groups of councillors, the executive and over 450 staff through the challenges and opportunities found in leading local government. Currently, until a new CEO is appointed, our Infrastructure Director Larry Sengstock is acting in the role. As we edge closer to Christmas, let’s do our bit to be protected when the borders re-open.

While Noosa continues to have one of the best vaccination rates in Qld, we do need hinterland residents to roll up their sleeves urgently. Our coastal fully vaccinated rate is 71.4 per cent compared with 60.6 per cent in the hinterland (at the time of writing). The Hinterland are providing increased vaccination venues which include Livelife Pharmacy Cooroy; Livelife Pharmacy Pomona; Amcal Pharmacy Cooroy; Maple Street Surgery Cooroy; Coorora Family Health Pomona. For all locations please

visit, health.qld.gov.au Our new local law to manage the impact of short-stay properties on residential amenity is set to take effect next year. It gives Council powers to ensure short-stay property owners deal with issues as they arise. Problems associated with short-stay accommodation properties in residential areas are an issue for our community, and with the State Government shelving plans for a state-wide framework, we must act. Elements of the local law ensures Council establishes a 24-hour complaints hotline and trial the use of a security firm to monitor problem properties. The law also requires owners to appoint a manager or contact person with the complaints hotline number and approval number to be displayed on the front of the property. The local law introduces an approval for short-stay and home hosted properties to take effect from February 2022, which is required to be renewed annually, plus rules around vehicle and trailer parking. Finally, as we head into bushfire season, Noosa Council has established an online quiz and profile tool which is being piloted here in Noosa to help residents better prepare for the bushfire season. Council is partnering with Victorian-based start-up FireThrive and Queensland tech-hub Firetech Connect to develop a behaviour change pilot programme. The How Prepared Are You For A Bushfire quiz is made up of 25 multiple choice questions and takes around 10 minutes to complete. Based on your quiz results, a personalised profile is generated to help you address specific areas for improvement. This profile also includes personalised educational resources like Q & A audio clips from a firefighter, and conversation tips on how to reach out to a neighbour. The results will also help us better understand our community’s perceptions of bushfires and give Council valuable insights into vulnerable areas of the community through anonymised data. Please take the quiz at quiz.firethrive. com Make sure you are prepared if and when disaster strikes so please also download our Emergency Action Guide for practical advice on what to do before, during and after a range of disasters.

Peregian Beach carols to make welcome return to park Keep an eye on the sky on Wednesday 22 December when Santa returns to Peregian Beach for the Sunshine Coast’s longest running Christmas carols, now in its 57th year. A committed group of local volunteers and events professionals is gathering each week to prepare what they hope will be the best carols event yet, including a host of local entertainers. “Following 18 months of Covid uncertainty, it is exciting to bring such an iconic event to the community, especially being the longest running carols event on the Coast,” Peregian Family and Friends president Leigh McCready said. “Last year, we ran a small carols’ event at the Surf Club due to restrictions on numbers,

but this year we have teamed up with the Peregian Beach Business Association (PBBA) to bring the event back to the park and we’d love the whole community to attend.” “This year’s event is going to have all the old favourites like carol singers, musicians singing traditional and modern songs and, of course, a very special guest will be there for the kids,” PBBA president Nicki White said. “We’re also introducing some new features such as a local artisan market for those last minute Christmas goodies, jumping castle and a spectacular laser light show to conclude the evening with lots of surprises in between.” Ms McCready said the cost to attend the carols had been kept low with the support of

Tony’s festive freak out Former mayor and prolific creative soul Tony Wellington drew a full house to the Noosa Surf Museum for an entertaining evening of music and chat last week at the launch of Freak Out, his excellent history of the ‘60s music-led revolution. Songster Katie Noonan was scheduled to make a cameo for a few trills but called in sick. Never mind, Tony, a budding rock star in his teens, and still very competent on the double bass, proved a more than adequate substitute, playing the opening notes of famous songs of the swinging ‘60s, in a parlour game that soon had ageing groovers dancing in the aisles. The splendid evening was courtesy of Annie’s Books On Peregian, Monash University Publishing and host Noosa Surf Museum.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Snapper fillet.

Roasted salmon.

Little Humid impresses Trevor Pepys reviews Little Humid, Noosaville As keen Tucker readers will know, Trev only returns to the scene of the crime for two reasons: 1) they must have been having an off-night the first time, or 2) he trusts them to get it right every visit. So, as an unabashed Humid fan of some 17 years standing, Big and Little, Trev was most certainly back at Michelle and Mary’s for Friday lunch for number twos, if you’ll pardon the expression. If that’s a plot spoiler, please forgive me, but it was fairly obvious where this one was going anyway. Trev loves quality and consistency delivered at a fair price, with no BS. There are a handful of restaurants in Noosa that meet those lofty standards, but not for 17 years without fail! And it’s worth noting here that Mary and Michelle faced up to the potential financial disasters of extended Covid lockdowns with typical can-do spirit, stripping back to a twogal operation and when they couldn’t open for service they transformed into the best takehome dinner operation Trev sampled during the troubles. Twenty bucks a box, heat in minutes, just like a bought one! But it’s so much nicer when you’re there, which is why when an old mate and colleague (ie another reprobate) suggested a celebratory lunch on him, Trev didn’t hesitate. Naturally we were shown to the best river view table on the terrace and Trev was about to order French bubbles to come with the menus when old mate dropped a shocker. “No alcohol for me.” Now we’ve darkened more than a few dingy doors around the planet, me and him, so this news was seriously unsettling. “Doctors, cops, clergymen or the missus?” Trev enquired sadly. “A bit of each, but you go right ahead.” So Trev ordered a glass of Logan Pinot Gris 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 12 November, 2021

($13), the mate a sparkling mineral water ($8), and so began a rare, if not unique, experience for your humble correspondent – a sober lunch. We munched on a hot crusty baguette with oil ($8) and a bowl of Ligurian small black olives ($10) while we surveyed the always interesting menu. Now Trev is a huge fan of the braised rabbit and leek pie (a Humid house special since forever) but today the fish mains caught both our eyes. Old mate chose the snapper fillet, rosemary and pinenut crumbs, roast pumpkin, beetroot, bean and feta, with a remoulade sauce ($37) while Trev opted for the roasted salmon with fresh tagliatelle and chorizo ($36). Old mate pronounced his snapper as the tastiest, most succulent fillet of fish he’d eaten locally for a long, long time, and the accompaniments were ideally suited to his delicate digestive system. Trev swooned so much over his perfectly roasted salmon that he had to keep the Pinot Gris coming, which meant in the end it would have been much cheaper to buy the bottle, but who’s counting? Oh, that’s right. Old mate was. The only slightly awkward moment occurred when Trev pulled out his trusty phone camera to capture the mains for posterity. Maitre d’ Mary quietly but efficiently shirt-fronted him and said: “Trev, I’ve told you before, put that cracked screen iPhone 1 away. We’ll send you some professional photos of your meals.” The moment passed and the conversation with the mate flowed like an alpine river, and similarly fresh and clear for once, Trev remembered most of it later. The verdict: Lunch or dinner, inside or outside, Little Humid never fails to impress. Little Humid, 235 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, phone 5449 9755.

Stylish Little Humid.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Land based fishing time With the recent winds and swell persisting with us, this is the time of year where land based angling tends to favor most. The beauty of fishing around the Noosa region is that the estuary has so many locations that work in a multitude of wind directions. We also have the freshwater dams which allow you to find a secluded spot in a bay or take a kayak out and explore the Noosa Everglades. Offshore has seen bigger boats heading over the bar with the local charter boats doing well. Earlier in the week they did manage a trip out wide to DI and there has certainly been a few red emperor and big nannygai coming onboard. Some anglers are fishing in close from the Wide Bay bar and reporting good snapper and pearl perch catches. This is, however, an area for experienced boat owners. Don’t forget when crossing any coastal bar, if your boat is under 4.8m you must wear a life jacket when crossing. We stock a wide range of jackets, flairs and epirb as well as everything else boat related. Sunshine Reef has been fished a few times with the odd coral trot coming in as well as good sized sweetlip. With the forecast rains, we could see a change for the better if fishing offshore. The surf scene should see a few changes as the increased swell and rains often causes the water to get a bit dirtier which many fish love. Previously we had super clear waters which isn’t conducive to catching big fish. If you are after a big fish, be sure to break out your surf gear once the rains die down. If looking to get a jewie setup, we have the Penn long cast back in stock. This reel allows anglers to punch out big baits and lures with ease. Pair this to a suitable 12ft surf rod and off you go! With the river soon to become busy, now is a great time to go explore. With south easterly winds the most popular you will find plenty of spots.

Noosa Golf Club results Noosa Tigers Australian Football Club’s initial building plans of the proposed $1.4 million community health and wellness centre.

Health focus in Tigers building plan By Abbey Cannan Noosa Tigers Australian Football Club has released powerful plans to build a $1.4 million first class community health and wellness centre. The hub is set to provide educational and physical support for the general community, sporting clubs, and schools. The man behind the plan, Tony Frawley, was inspired to prevent mental health issues, after his brother, AFL great Danny Frawley, passed away following his battle with depression. “About two years ago, my brother Danny, who was a high profile AFL player and commentator, died by suicide,” Mr Frawley said. “We’re now building a $20 million mental health facility at his old AFL ground in Melbourne. “I’ve worked with the AFL for over 30 years as one of the CEOs, and when I moved to Noosa they asked me to look at their facility development. “I thought, well let’s try and put a mental health hub inside the sporting hub in Noosa because it’s just so important. “One of the best places to talk about mental health is in a sporting club because you’ve got so many diverse groups of people there.” The plans feature educational facilities, consulting suites and structures for information and education on mental health issues for school kids and other community groups. “The AFL has developed three mental health courses that people can do to receive accreditation once completed,” Mr Frawley said. “The Noosa Tigers will be the first club in Australia doing these courses and it will be like a testing ground for the AFL. “It’s not just focused on AFL. I want to make sure every club on the Sunshine Coast can receive access to the courses. “We specifically want to teach people how to identify the triggers that cause mental health issues.” The proposed funding target includes $600,000 from the Federal Government, $400,000 from the Queensland State Government, $200,000 from the Noosa Shire

Firsts Thunder to 16 wins By Randall Woodley Quote of the week “Part of the art of bowling spin is to make the batsman think something special is happening - when it isn’t.” - Shane Warne The First-Grade team made it 16 wins in a row after a tight finish last Saturday against archrivals, Maroochydore Swans. The team had defeated each of the seven other clubs in the T20 competition then went on to win the semi-final and final. Now they have completed a clean sweep of the 50 overs a side round. They will play the final of this comp next Sunday. Club historians are checking to ascertain when was the last time the club won 16 in a row. On the Saturday, the team hosted Maroochydore at Read Park for the last match of the one-day round. The boys were looking for a victory to secure the one day final and keep their unbeaten run going. They knew it would be a tough ask with two of the competition’s best bowlers, Scott Aufderheide and Ben Laughlin, absent for the day against the young Swan’s strong batting line-up. Batting first on a well prepared pitch, Thunder lost Lewis Waugh early but Chris Wright picked up the slack and went on to make a brilliant 87 including 11 fours. At 2 for 134 off 28 overs, the team was set for a big score but losing wickets through the last 20, they only managed 238 all out, in the last over. Jarrod Officer had made 32 off 25 and Blake Steel smashed 39 off 30. With the two premier bowlers away, the Thunder opened up with the two young guns, Tom Stewart and Harrison Lea, who did their job as per the script. Tom claimed a wicket in the first over and the two bowlers kept the scoring rate to a minimum. At drinks Maroochydore was 2 for 67 off 17 and the game was still in the balance. Then the brakes went on with only 18 runs coming in the next eight overs. Captain Jake Dennien took two wickets in two balls and finished with 4 for 51 off his 10 overs. However, the Swans kept battling from 7 for 160 until the 48th over when TNT took the last wicket, 17 runs short of their target. Dom Taylor also picked up four wickets to make it a day for the spinners. The other outstanding feature of the afternoon was the great fielding and catching from the Thunder boys. Next Saturday the team is at home to Gympie in the first match of the twodayers, commencing at 10am. SECOND GRADE The team played the top team in the grade, Yandina at their ground. Batting first, the TNT boys were out for a disappointing score of 97. Yandina passed TNT’s score with four wickets down. FOURTH GRADE The team travelled to Maroochydore for the last of the one-fay fixtures. Winning the toss, Thunder decide to bat on what looked like a good pitch and, at 0 for 21, they were confident of a good score. However, the familiar pattern emerged and the team was bundled out for 93. The only batsmen to show any fight were Brendan Wright with 15 and top scorer Harper Lee with 16. Tight bowling and the taking of chances were going to be Thunder’s plan but, unfortunately, it did not turn out this way, and the opening bowlers were put to the sword early. The Swans passed the target in the 23rd over. The two-day matches start next weekend, and the team believe they will start to show what they are capable of in this format. SIXTH GRADE.

es, the team lost to Caloundra Lighthouses. UNDER 13. Playing at home, TNT won the toss and sent Nambour in to bat. Noah Marshall again took two wickets in his opening spell before some big hitting steered Nambour to a reasonable position. The TNT bowlers kept the pressure on with Benny Boden’s two wickets cleaning up the tail. Nambour was all out for 85 off 20 overs. The Thunder then knuckled down to work, passing Nambour’s score and batting out the 30 overs, finishing 6-163. Top scorers were Marcus Medoro, 44 no, Alec Dillewaard 27 and Matt Riddle 25 retired. UNDER 12 Storm. The team batted first and scored 6 for 72 off their allotted overs but Yandina was able to score 7 for 149 to win the match. While down on numbers, the boys put in a massive effort and their cricket is improving each week

So close.

What golf means to Josh When Josh Constable followed the World Surf League tour around the world he took with him three bags – one for his clothes, one for his board, and one for his golf clubs. When he wasn’t competing against the world’s best surfers, he would head to the nearest golf course, honing a swing that would eventually lead to the Noosa star owning a four handicap. “I’ve been playing golf for 15 years,” said the former world longboard surfing champion. “It’s addictive. I just love it.” Now 40, Josh has never lost his competitive streak – in golf as much as surfing – and is looking forward to rejoining the World Surf League as soon as travel restrictions allow. “The tour closed down in 2020 because of Covid,” he said. “It opened this year but only in the US, which was difficult for us to get to. “But I’m looking forward to touring again as soon as it’s possible. I was ranked in the top 10 for the past three or four years and reckon I’ve still got another title left in me.” During a stellar career which began when he was just 15, Josh collected 51 titles, including an ASP world longboard championship, six Australian longboard titles and four Noosa Festival of Surf victories. He now operates his own company Creative Army Surfboards, where he designs, shapes, tests and builds custom boards. And he plays golf whenever he can. “At the beginning of Covid, I had a handicap of seven,” he said. “Knowing I’d have more time on my hands, I set a goal of getting it down to five.” He’s done even better. After winning the Tuesday competition at Noosa Springs last week with 35 points, followed up by 41 points in the Wednesday comp, Josh’s handicap has been cut to four. He’s achieved that level with the same dedicated training regime that made him such a successful surfer. He practices constantly, sometimes spending hours on the chipping green, perfecting his short game. “I love practicing; love hitting balls,” he said. “Golf’s a little bit like surfing in that it’s just you, and any success you have is determined entirely by yourself and what you do.” Josh learned the game from former Peregian pro Wayne Rostron, before transferring to Noosa Springs, for which he is an ambassador. He says he loves the mental side of the game, focusing and grinding out a good round, even when he may not be hitting the ball as well as he likes. He plays at Noosa Springs most Tuesdays and Thursdays, and he’s encouraged wife Anna and sons Jet, 15, and Jive, 12, to take up the game. He says they’re all hooked. Course record for Marc Marc Bright matched the course record when he shot 67 in Saturday’s monthly medal at Cooroy. Despite his memorable three-under-par round, Marc, a former professional, won only a voucher in the rundown, the A grade prize going to club captain Mitch Davies, with a net 65. These days, Marc’s passion is encouraging disabled golfers to enjoy the game through the All Abilities classes he runs at Cooroy on Mondays. He says playing golf improves their confidence, gives them purpose and allows them to have fun. Amy too strong in Noosa junior event Amy Hodgkins, the long-hitting former Redcliffe golfer who is now a member of Royal Queensland, played brilliantly on Sunday to score a three-under-par 70 to win the Noosa Junior Classic – the last Invincibles Tour event of the year. She set an Invincibles’ course record, three shots better than the score set by Rhianna Lewis in 2016, to beat Maroochy River’s Ionna Muir by four strokes. Another visitor, Virginia’s Jedd Brady, shot 71 to win the boys’ section of the event, one

So close for George Noosa star George Giblett shot rounds of 69 and 74 to finish a close third in the Burleigh Cup, one of the state’s elite amateur events, on the Gold Coast last week. Giblett’s total of 143, with both rounds played on the same day, was three strokes shy of Royal Pines’ Conor Whitelock, who won with rounds of 68 and 72. Herbert back for December tournament Lucas Herbert, who won his first tournament on the US PGA Tour a fortnight ago, plans to return to Australia in December to compete in the Sandbelt Invitational, a new event that will be held at four world-class golf courses. Herbert, a former Victorian who is coached by Peregian’s Dom Azzopardi, will take part in the event, a creation of former touring pros Geoff Ogilvy and Mike Clayton, from December 20 to 23 at Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath, Yarra Yarra and Peninsula Kingwood. It will include male and female professionals and amateurs. Herbert will be forced to miss the Australian PGA at Royal Queensland in mid-January as his win in the Bermuda tournament qualified him to play in the lucrative Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii that same week. Ladies’ day at Noosa Springs Ladies take centre stage at Noosa Springs on Tuesday, December 7 – the last in a series of three events for women to showcase their skills. As usual, the 18-hole stableford competition will be followed by a gourmet champagne lunch and presentations. The cost, including lunch, is $104 ($39 for members; $94 for Links Hope Island members, social and reciprocal).Ladies who play in two of the three events will be in the running for a half-day spa escape plus four rounds of golf at Noosa Springs.

Take what comes TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER A better understanding of the game of golf will make you a better golfer, according to golf psychologist and author Dr Bob Rotella in his book, Golf is not a game of perfect. Through experience, better players understand exactly that about the game, and are able to move on after a bad shot or a bad hole. They realise a game of golf is not always a bed of roses and either bad shots, bad holes or bad luck will happen in a round, as it’s all part of the game. I find the sooner golfers understand that, the better they play, as they’re more relaxed and never appear flustered, whereas players who can’t accept bad outcomes will often destroy their round with a stretch of bad holes They only start playing well again after they calm down. Unfortunately, by then the damage has been done. Accepting whatever comes your way, as soon as it happens, will allow you to remain calm, think more clearly and lead to better golf. It’s the game, that’s why we love it. Good golfing. PETER HEINIGER is Noosa Springs’ resident PGA teaching professional. Jeucken 66c/b; B grade – P. Buchbach 66, I. Lumsden 68; C grade – L.

Crews sweep to victory At the recent North Australian Surf Lifesaving Titles held at Mackay, the Noosa club was represented by four boat crews: two women’s, the Bandits reserve grade, and the Sparrows U/19, and two men’s, the Condors, masters and the Peacocks u/19. Sweeping the crews were sweep and head coach, Mick Gardner and Stewart Cooper. ‘’For us, it was a great result and good start for the season. All of our crews won their races and with the surf conditions being very flat, it gave us a good indication as to their early season fitness,” said coach Gardner. With boat crews travelling from Currumbin, Mooloolaba, Dicky Beach and Noosa, all agreed that despite the nine-hour drive, it was a great start to the season. Speaking on behalf of the Noosa team boat captain Anthony Fox remarked, “Apart from the early season hit out, the really good point was the support that our boat crews from down south showed the boating fraternity here in North Queensland. They are very isolated up here so our support for boat racing is of the most importance.’’ As a result of Noosa winning the overall point score for the boat section, they were awarded the Gold Cup. Definitely a good start for the season. Next weekend, it will be Noosa’s turn to host a two-day boat carnival and this will be held at Main Beach in front of the Noosa Club. Saturday will be the Youth Junior Carnival for the U/19 and U/23s. Sunday will be an open carnival for everyone: the opens, reserves, u19 and u/23s and as this is round one of the Queensland Cup the results go towards the 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 12 November, 2021

state selection. With this being a major carnival of the boat season, and gratefully, once again sponsored by Richardson and Wrench of Noosa, a big day with plenty action and good racing is assured. The first race goes off at 8.30am. Also, we should give a big warm Noosa welcome to the girls’ u/19 crew, the Yeppoon Yahoos. All being well they will drive down from Yeppoon, and rowing for Noosa, will take part in the carnival, down and back a round trip of 19 hours. We wish them well. The Coolangatta Gold After last year’s cancellation of the 2020 Coolangatta Gold, this Sunday at 7.30 am we will once again see our finest iron men and women gather on the sands to contest the Coolangatta Gold for 2021. However, this year there will be a slight change in the course, with all legs of the event starting and finishing at Coolangatta. Speaking of this, coach Sharlene Kelly who guided Lana Rogers to win the last Gold said, “We are all very excited to be back after a lapse of two years, and I think the new course will be fantastic for spectators.” In preparation for the event, Rogers has been on a 24-week, gold pre-deason training program. “I am really looking forward to this,” said Lana. “It has been a long journey, two years in the making, but now it’s happening - it is very exciting.” Good luck to Lana and her team. The Noosa Club will be taking one of their biggest teams ever to contest the Coolangatta Gold. Head coach Darren Mercer, a legendary figure in this event, was full of confidence and looking toward a big season.

“This is a really big squad and perhaps the really good aspect is that we will be competing at all levels from the u/17s right through to the masters.” A pleasing aspect of the Noosa team is the number of youth coming through the ranks: u/17s, u/19s both male and female. With these young competitors competing in both individual and team events in the Short Course program, the experience gained will be invaluable. The future is looking good. For the Sunshine Beach SLSC, Sunday’s event will certainly be a big occasion for U/19 competitor, Sam O’Connor. Sam who has just turned 18 will be competing in his first ever U/19 Coolangatta Gold Short Course event. “Sam will be up against some of the best young iron men on the coast and this will be a good test. Some of the great iron man legends, started their career in this event and have gone on too very successful careers.: it will definitely be a great experience,” said Head Coach Josh Minogue. The Sunshine beach team got their club off to a good start for the season, when they competed in the recent Queensland Beach (events) Series for junior and senior competitors at Mooloolaba. The overall points tally saw Sunshine finish in third place. “This was an outstanding result and we congratulate beach coach Pauline Gleeson and her assistant Alice Jones. The highlight for us was winning the bronze medal in the final of the all-age relay, U/11 to U/15. This was the first ever medal in this event,” said Minogue. Rugby For those who have no plans for the weekend,

the Dolphin oval, home of the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club, will definitely be the place to go. Why? The answer is simple. At the weekend, the Dolphins Rugby Union Club will play host to the long-awaited Queensland State 7s Rugby tournament. In the words of club President Donald McKill, ‘’The oval will host some of the best Rugby’s 7s talent both in the men’s and women’s category. The Queensland State 7s is a combination of prem clubs from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Central Queensland and a Stingray select side which is representing all the clubs here on the Sunshine Coast. The game is fast, open, entertaining and if you have never watched, take the opportunity come down and see this event. We feel you won’t be disappointed. Also on display for the non- rugby supporter is a craft beer festival full of local product.’ If we can’t whet your love for the game, we will certainly wet your whistle. On Saturday, you will be entertained by the live music of Tess Fapani and Brad Schultz and on Sunday, Rennie Field and Sexual (you gotta be kidding) Chocolate. This is a club that down through the years has not only promoted the game of rugby, but also taken big steps to promote our town as a friendly, entertaining and sporting tourist resort. The visit from such as the British Lions Touring Rugby Union team and the Melbourne Storm Rugby League squad, just to mention a few, speaks for itself. Your attendance at this carnival of rugby would be a nice way to say thanks to this great rugby club for their contribution to our community.

And the nominees are … Nominations for the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s inaugural community awards are flooding the stewardship council’s inbox ahead of the closing date of Monday 15 November. Mums, dads, coaches, mentors, maybe even mates, get your nominations in before it’s too late. The motto Share. Respect. Preserve. encapsulates the goal of NWSR to preserve our local surf zones and their surrounding environments, and by recognising and protecting the key environmental, cultural, economic and community attributes, to ensure they are around for future generations. There are numerous people who contribute to these goals within the local community, and the NWSR stewardship council would like to publicly acknowledge these wonderful contributions. Here are a few of the nominations received so far, starting with the Community Surfer of the Year awards, which will be offered in male and female, junior and senior categories, based on a person whose performances in the water have been matched by contributions of all kinds to the benefit of the wider local community and /or NWSR. Hawaiian-born Mason Schremmer, 21, Sunrise Beach, nominated for Senior Women’s: “I compete in contests around Australia and the rest of the world (not the world at the moment though, thanks to Covid) and I have had good results in the last year at the Noosa Festival and Noosa Logger. I hope to carry those results onto the world stage via the WSL Longboard Tour once it is safe to travel again, representing the Noosa Malibu Club and the Noosa World Surfing Reserve. “I also really enjoy being a part of the Surfrider Foundation on the Sunshine Coast and I hope to continue volunteering for this organisation into the future. Being part of Surfrider is awesome; it brings a greater community awareness to protecting our oceans, beaches and land and I believe that is immensely important everywhere, but especially in a special place like Noosa. Preserving our oceans and beaches should be something greatly valued by all. The Surfrider Foundation and the NWSR are two things that can go hand in hand in protecting and preserving Noosa for future generations. I’m also studying to be a nurse, so hopefully one day that will be a skill I can use to help the community.” Jack Lewis, 37, Tewantin. Serious waterman, teacher of water skills to our First Nations, nominated for Senior Men’s: “Thanks to the Noosa World Surfing Reserve for the nomination and the coming together of the tribes. “Cherbourg to Noosa program: over the last decade Noosa has started to reconcile with its Indigenous history and the involvement with the kids in Cherbourg is an extension of my love for this saltwater country and sharing the skills of surf safety/riding waves. I love being involved with Noosa SLSC and their community engagement program that provides surf safety skills to every school in the shire, and also Cherbourg State School. We are now into the fourth year of the program with a trip to Murgon pool on 22 November and at Noosa SLSC on 1 December. This is an important activity for these kids and their families to feel welcome to this special place we choose to spend our time in and around this saltwater country. “Noosa SLSC Nippers and Surfing Program – I’m the under eight age manager of one of the largest nipper groups in the country (600 nippers with about 100 in each age group). We all volunteer our time to pass on our ocean skills as well as carrying on the culture and environmental stewardship. “Although I do like the inside paddle at Tea Tree, I also like to share the fun of the points with all in the water. I love running around to Granite or A-Bay and surfing back to First Point, catching up with the various people at the different breaks and having good, insightful conversations. The energy in the water is always positive and this is what also make Noo-

These are parts of our culture that are constantly evolving, but also respect its past and many elders with their years of wisdom.” And the first nomination for the NWSR Respect award in memory of Bill Wallace, is for veteran surf events’ volunteer Alan Thomas, a competitive surfer in his own right and a great club man, Al has given up opportunities to compete over decades to instead help get the event run. A stalwart of the beach marshalling tent at the Noosa Festival of Surfing over many years, and at a host of other events, Al has been a true servant of the sport and lifestyle he has always loved. Fuyu for you? Part of the fun of the awards night and summer party at the Noosa Surf Museum will be a surf auction, with the first item to be announced, courtesy of Paul Winter’s classic Fuyu label, a six-two Glass Bomb model, inspired by the boards of the 1970s Morning of the Earth era. Says Paul: “Works for a variety of waves, multiple options for fin set up. Before the quiver became a thing, boards had to be made to be surfed in a large range of conditions. That’s where this guy is coming from. Glassed in traditional resin tint with cut laps.” More auction items next week.

RENTALS TO IMPACT MARKET PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY QUEENSLAND’S tight residential vacancy rates appear to be stabilising with minimal movement over the past quarter, according to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s (REIQ) September 2021 Residential Vacancy Report. Regional areas logged the tightest vacancies, including Maryborough (0.1%), Tablelands (0.2%), Southern Downs (0.2%), Gympie (0.2%) and South Burnett (0.3%). Noosa’s rentals have been consistently less than 0.8 percent for the past 12 months, having tightened from 2.4 percent in June 2020 at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said declines in vacancy rates may have stabilised overall, but owner-occupiers were still active in the market and buying up residential property. “This puts owner-occupiers in competition with potential investors in the Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

property market,” Ms Mercorella said. “In addition, some investors are taking advantage of high capital growth and making a decision to sell their existing properties, which is exacerbating the limited supply of rentals.” Ms Mercorella said migration from interstate, the return of foreign expats and the popularity of Queensland’s regions had put pressure on residential vacancy rates. RUSH TO SUMMER It’s six weeks to Christmas Eve and the earnest desires of many wanting to enjoy the festive season by moving or investing in this idyllic sub-tropical paradise, have been added to the FOMO effect. Last week’s auction and pre-auction results are testament to the Tom Offermann Real Estate team, which made many of those real estate dreams come true. The Jesse Stowers-listed apartment 27 at Noosa Pacific, 24 Munna Cres, Noosaville, attracted much interest from Sydney, Canberra and Victoria during the campaign. Yet on the day from the six registered bidders, and an opening bid of $2.4m, the

two highest bidders, both from Sydney, fought it out until it was declared sold at $2.855m. Jesse had another successful outcome, this time apartment 310 at the French Quarter, 62 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, with six registered bidders and a Victorian buyer paying $1.055m - a new record for a onebedroom apartment at the French Quarter Resort. Local families longing to live close to the beach were out in force at Eliza Coppin and Peter TeWhata’s listing of 72 Mahogany Dve, Marcus Beach. It was sold under the hammer for $2.15m. Peter TeWhata’s listing of 11 Cooran Ct was passed in, but given the popularity and sage investment opportunity on Noosa Sound, it won’t last long. Sold prior to last weekend’s auctions: The Jesse Stowers-listed apartment 2/165 Gympie Tce, Noosaville; Richard Locke-listed apartment 15 at Noosa Pacific, 24 Munna Cres, Noosaville. Sold prior to this weekend’s auctions: Nic Hunter-listed apartment 4 Little Cove Court, 2 Pandanus St, Noosa Heads; Mal Cox and Peter TeWhata’s listing

of beachside 57 Orient Dve, Sunrise Beach. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom house with pool went to Brisbane buyers captivated by the beach and ocean views. GAME, SET AND MATCH It was a first for the auctioneer in his notable career when a beautifully manicured lawn tennis court was offered as part of the property at 26 Livistona Dve, Doonan, on Wednesday. The quintessential Queenslander on 0.97ha featured five bedrooms, four bathrooms and newly-constructed 15m lap pool. It was taken to the market by Mark Hodgkinson and Cassandra Young of Reed & Co. During the campaign it attracted a mixed bag of interest - local and from interstate. The presentation was exceptional, Mark said. There were five registered bidders with a start at $2.3m and selling at $3.660m. Mark and Cassandra now have a fullyrenovated four-bedroom house with new shed on a 1230sq m block at Cooroy set for auction on Sunday, November 17. Then on December 8 they will be taking a four-plus bedroom pavilion-style house on 1.5acres in Doonan to auction. There was a huge response to the first open of the Cooroy property, Mark said. The majority were local but some Brisbane interest as well. It will be a good entry-point property for families and first home buyers. KNOCK-OUT CONTEST On Wednesday Adrian Reed and Darren Neal of Reed & Co took the one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment 5/49 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, to the market. “It was a good location so you can understand the interest,’’ Darren said. “There were five registered bidders locals and interstate - and a start in the mid $500,000s. “Bidders kept coming back in, trying to land a knock-out blow with $5000 and $9000 bids, and it just wasn’t working.’’ In the end it was a buyer from New South Wales who picked up the keys by offering $671,000.

The top-floor riverfront apartment 30 Noosa Shores, 86-88 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, that sold at auction Friday with Gillian McCauley and Kym de Warren of Richardson & Wrench Noosa. 256660 the market at 11am. “There are ocean views at the front for whale watching,’’ Melanie said, “and it’s an easy walk to the beach - perfect for a family to walk down.’’ Positioned at the rear of the block to get the best elevation, the house is also protected from the south-easterly breezes. Melanie said the family had the house built because it was such a quiet street and three generations have enjoyed it over two decades. Features include beautiful old timber floorboards, good separation of bedrooms and two north-east facing decks - one off the family room and the other off upperlevel living room. There is a double lock-up garage with separate lockable storage underneath. Early interest was from all over Australia, Melanie said, with local buyers certainly showing up and inquiries from southern buyers as well as Brisbane. “People are now realising they can work from anywhere.’’ Melanie said Coolum had come alive as a destination. “The shopping is so active yet Coolum has not lost that family charm of holidays by the beach.’’ Melanie has recently sold the twobedroom, one-bathroom apartment 60 Noosa Place, 28 Munna Cres, Noosaville, after it was listed at offers over $825,000. There was a huge amount of interest in the top-floor apartment with a great offer from Brisbane buyers securing the property. SIZE AND LOCATION Roger Omdahl of Laguna Real Estate has

been getting offers all week on the threebedroom, one-bathroom house on 1058sq m at 18 Jacaranda Pl, Tewantin. They included a strong Sunshine Coast offer at the weekend that is being considered by the sellers. The interest in the property has been from locals, New South Wales and Central Queensland, Roger said. “They like the land size, the privacy and the location ... quiet yet close to facilities. “It brings the opportunity to renovate or the rebuild because of the land and location.’’ The high-set house has hardwood floorboards throughout, an L-shaped front veranda and staircase with a return. It has been re-stumped on steel posts into concrete and the main bearers have been replaced. The large back yard part backs onto a reserve.

LOCATION COUNTS Kate and Tony Cox of Reed & Co had four offers at the start of the week for 7 Habitat Pl, Noosa Heads, which was due to go to auction this Saturday. Three of the offers were local and the fourth from Sydney for the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 2100sq m. Yet an offer from locals who had missed out recently in same area managed to stop the auction with an offer of $3.2m. “They just loved the location,’’ Kate said. “Locals are wanting one-level living on a large block … that’s what it was and what attracted them, as well as having a pool. “All those who presented offers had a rural background.’’ WEDNESDAY SUCCESS IN EUMUNDI Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa met with auction success in Eumundi on a Wednesday. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 9119sq m at 1-15 Bush Tucker Ct, attracted 56 inspections in the two-anda-half week auction campaign and seven registered bidders on the day. “It was a great auction,’’ Jeanette said. “There were 19 bids from $1m up to the sale price of $1,615,000. “The eventual buyers lives here on the Coast, and wanted a bit of acreage. “They loved the spot and the opportunity to build a second dwelling if they decide.’’ THAT’S NOOSA ALL OVER Gillian McCauley and Kym de Warren of Richardson & Wrench Noosa had 175 inquiries in the lead-up to last Friday’s auction of 30 Noosa Shores, 86-88 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads. Interest came from all over, Gillian said, local, interstate, New Zealand and further. On the day there were 15 registered bidders for the two-bedroom, two-bathroom fully-furnished apartment on the top floor and north-east corner of the riverfront complex. There were 23 bids on the day, finally selling for $1.595m to Brisbane buyers. COASTAL VIEWS TO NOOSA HEAD With fabulous coastal views north to Sunshine Beach and Noosa Head, the fourbedroom, two-bathroom house at 14 Barra Cres, Coolum Beach, is attracting plenty of interest ahead of Saturday’s auction.
