Tewantin turns 150 Timber, then gold, cemented the town of Tewantin in the history books as it became the port town linking people from the capital of Brisbane to the riches of its surrounds. Much has changed in the town that marked its 150th anniversary last Saturday with a mix of historic and contemporary events, but it still retains much of the charm and pace of a bygone era. The natural attributes of the area continue to draw in visitors but fortunately there is more soaking up of its beauty and less removal of it.

Housing options Noosa Council will investigate whether two of its land parcels could be used for affordable housing in response to its Noosa Housing Needs Assessment, released at Council’s general meeting on Monday. There’s a nationwide housing crisis and Noosa, a desirable destination, is at the pointy end of it, the report revealed. Noosa’s property prices and rents have increased significantly, making them unaffordable for medium to low income workers, the meeting heard. The report found 80 per cent of housing was separate houses, with residential units and communal living in retirement and aged care making up the remainder.
It estimated that with projected population increase by 2040 to 65,000, the need for about 6400 more dwellings would be provided through infill development within existing residential areas. The report found the demand for residential property was very high, availability of permanent rentals had diminished, weekly rents increased and incomes were not keeping up with the rises, and opportunities for social housing were limited. The report recommends Council adopt a housing strategy that targets improved housing choice and affordability. At the meeting, councillors committed $50,000 to scope out and test options for the use of its land parcels at Noosa Heads and
Cooroy for affordable housing, in an effort to tackle the shire’s worsening housing crisis. Council called on the state government, as the primary housing provider, to partner with them to deliver more affordable housing. Councillors unanimously endorsed Cr Stewart’s request for Council to lobby the state to audit all of its Noosa housing stock and land to find new housing opportunities. “There needs to be a holistic review of their Noosa land - across all of the state’s many departments – to search out potential affordable housing sites for our shire,” she said. “We’re investigating solutions using our own land, but we’re limited in what we can provide as housing is not a Council respon-
sibility. We need the state’s support to deliver more housing.” Exploring options for the Noosa Heads and Cooroy sites is a key recommendation of the new Housing Needs Assessment, developed by staff with external expert input. “It’s a comprehensive assessment backed up by hard data and it paints a very confronting picture of the housing situation in Noosa,” Cr Stewart said. “The strategy will also canvas potential changes to planning scheme zonings, and other amendments to encourage affordable housing development.” The housing strategy is set to be developed in early 2022.

Feral deer are hunted for meat in Noosa.
Processing plant delay By Margie Maccoll Noosa councillors called on staff to provide a further report on the impact of a meat processing plant at Tinbeerwah before deciding on its approval at its Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening. Before a chamber filled with interested parties, the councillors’ debate was divided between concerns over the impact of the industry on neighbourhood amenity and support for a business providing fresh, local produce to farmers markets. Business applicants and landowners Adam and Belinda Neilson were seeking a retrospective approval to process meat at their homebased plant, described by council officers as “medium industry”, from five wild deer a week that were hunted within and outside the shire. A 52sqm shed on their Patterson Drive property has been retrofitted at a cost of $300,000, the meeting heard, and has been processing the deer carcasses with the meat sold at farmers markets off site. A council officer told the meeting the deer were decapitated, had their offal and hoofs removed, and were bled in the field where they were killed before being wrapped in cloth and transported in the night to the facility. The applicant advised that “...no odour is produced, and the minimal noise generated from the processing of the carcass is contained inside the meat facility. Minimal waste is derived from the use (98 per cent of the animal is harvested), and the waste is taken by vehicle to Council’s Waste Recovery Centre. The ap-
The editor’s desk
plicant also advised that the facility was not expected to expand and that a maximum of five animals were harvested due to the limited cooling capacity of the facility”. Cr Amelia Lorentson questioned council staff about the impact on neighbours 50m from the facility of a compressor running 24/7 and the noise of a bandsaw cutting through meat and bone. Staff said they had not measured the noise and had listened to the plant operating, but without the meat being processed. She also questioned future expansion of the facility, and whether other deer hunters would be using the facility. Cr Brian Stockwell likened the business operation to his son going out at night to fish and returning home with a gutted catch. He said it was the perception of deer processing that neighbours didn’t like, but producing food was a reasonable business in a semi-rural environment, and deer were a feral animal that caused damage to the environment. Cr Tom Wegener said bandsaws were not noisy tools and would be commonly used by woodworkers on rural residential properties. But Cr Frank Wilkie said a key role of council was protecting residents’ amenity and bringing processed meat to market was a good thing. “This is a tough decision,” he said. “I’m not convinced there will be no negative impacts from bandsawing through meat. I believe more may be done.”
Well the borders have opened and all is well. What’s happening with Covid? It’s an ever-changing environment. According to Queensland Health, on the Sunshine Coast there was a low risk contact who visited Dan Murphy’s and Coles supermarket at Coolum Beach last Friday afternoon from about 4.305.30pm. That means if you were there at that time you need to get a Covid test but you don’t need to quarantine. If you do have any symptoms, however, you do need to isolate until you have a negative test. Let’s hope we can keep the freedoms we have been able to enjoy. With the rules changed, don’t forget to check in, sanitise and keep your distance. With Christmas only a week away, are you brave enough to join the buy nothing Christmas movement? I’m not, yet, but I do like the concept of reducing waste, making your own gifts and finding other ways to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. But it is the season of giving and it does give you that warm fuzzy feeling when you find a gift for someone that they really like, even when you spend far too much on it. So happy Christmas shopping.

Backing the Glossies By Margie Maccoll Emeritus Professor Ian Lowe has thrown his eminent environmental credentials behind the community push to save the glossy black cockatoo habitat at Sunrise Beach from destruction to make way for the Uniting Church’s aged care development. The ongoing protest spearheaded by 10-year-old Spencer Hitchen and his mother Maxine has attracted almost 57,000 signatures on a petition, and the interest of environmentalists across the country and internationally. Last Sunday Dr Lowe joined a number of speakers and supporters who gathered at the development site to talk about the need to preserve biodiversity for the physical, mental and spiritual well being of the community, and the value of the wallum environment earmarked for clearance. Dr Lowe praised the way of life of the original Australians who he said worked out how to live sustainably in a harsh and unforgiving climate. They had a system that allowed them to live with sustainable practises, not just in their customs but in a system of law, he said. It’s been 30 years since our government adopted a national strategy of ecological sustainability, but there are serious problems in the way it is governing sustainable living, he said. In 2018, a report revealed that 90 species had been lost since European occupation in 1788. “Ecological understanding is not good enough to know what happens when a species goes extinct,” Dr Lowe said. “There are implications up and down the food chain. We are pulling random bricks out of the wall of life. We are tampering at our peril with natural systems. We cannot afford to lose more. “We don’t know enough about complex ecology to tell when whole ecosystems will collapse.” Dr Lowe urged the group to continue its battle to save the glossies. “Change comes when enough people want it badly enough,” he said. Renowned artist and Yorta Yorta man Jandamarra Cadd spoke to the group of an essence, a oneness with the natural world that was a way of life for First Nations people. He said the birds would know the trauma, feel the trauma of the loss of its habitat. “We are not separate fragments,” he said. “It is difficult to walk in this western way where you are separate, you are a fragment, you no longer belong to something greater. We are this community. We are not separate. This is part of our humanity. This is the truth of who we are.” The Uniting Church has Noosa Council approval to develop a 102-bed residential aged care home and retirement village in the cul de sac location, adjacent their church on Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach, and has a contract with Lendlease to develop it. Noosa Council has committed to discuss a land swap with the Uniting Church to protect the Glossy Black Cockatoo at Sunrise Beach, but this has not so far been taken up.

The land contains a number of mature Casuarina and Allocasuarina on which the threatened cockatoos feed. A University of the Sunshine Coast study found the species was particularly at risk due to the preferential way the glossies select trees on which to feed. Maxine said the group feared for the survival of the birds if the habitat was lost and she was concerned for the mental health of local children who have supported the protection of the habitat. She said the church was acting against its own environmental policies and
should practise what it preached. CQ University academic and environmentalist Dr Sue Davis told the group the wallum country around Sunrise had historically been little valued or understood. “In the 1920s they thought it was rubbish land - swampy, not good for cattle and no timber,“ she said. But with its freshwater springs, it was an important food and wildflower site, recognised by Aboriginal women. Dr Davis said over the years Council had
carved off lots for public facilities and sold land to the Uniting Church to fund the Cooroy Library. “Council has to come to the table and accept some responsibility,“ she said. The last word on Sunday was reserved for Bob Carey, or Glossy Bob as he is known, who asked, “why are we doing this to the land we love?“ “You can build on degraded land,“ he said. “Wouldn’t it be a wonderful Christmas present if (the church) reconsidered.“

Reunion joy at airport Sunshine Coast Airport welcomed fully vaccinated interstate family and friends who no longer need to quarantine when touching down in Queensland on Monday 13 December. Queensland’s Vaccine Plan to Unite Families has reopened the border four days earlier with 80 per cent of Queenslanders on average now fully vaccinated. The easing of Covid-19 travel restrictions brought the celebration and laughter of reunions to Sunshine Coast Airport’s arrivals’ hall. The airport welcomed passengers arriving on direct flights from Melbourne and Sydney with gift bags promoting iconic Sunshine Coast and Noosa produce, tourism experiences and festive treats. Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said she was thrilled to have interstate travellers once again be able to enjoy the Noosa region. “We are so thrilled to be welcoming back our interstate visitors into Queensland and especially into Noosa,” Ms Anderson said. “It’s fantastic to hear that the flight schedules coming into the Sunshine Coast are looking so good! We are excited for a great year ahead with lots of visitors!” Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive Andrew Brodie said quarantine-free travel from interstate was the best Christmas present for the airport and both the Sunshine Coast and Noosa tourism industry. “Today is the start of a new chapter for aviation as we accelerate our recovery from the global Covid-19 pandemic,” Mr Brodie said. “We are thrilled our southern friends from Sydney and Melbourne can travel with confidence to the Sunshine Coast, just in time for

vices was also great news for locals hoping to travel. “Locals now have the option to fly to Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide or Newcastle with four different airlines, knowing they can travel with confidence,” he said. “Whether you’re visiting friends or family, have been putting off that short getaway or need to connect face to face with clients, the time has now come to travel once again.”
Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said quarantine-free interstate flights to the Sunshine Coast were possible because of the great work of Queenslanders. “During the pandemic, Queenslanders have worked hard to manage the health impacts of Covid-19 and rolled up their sleeves to get vaccinated for our Economic Recovery Plan,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “The Palaszczuk Government understands the importance of aviation to tourism recovery on the Sunshine Coast. “That’s why we’re continuing to support Queensland airports to get flights back in the air to the State’s tourism destinations. “Fully booked flights of fully vaccinated interstate passengers is terrific news for local tourism operators and the Sunshine Coast’s visitor economy.”

Spreading tourism word Tourism Noosa recently hosted a trade event in Brisbane connecting Brisbane travel agents with Noosa tourism suppliers at The Calile Hotel. The aim of the event was to put Noosa front of mind throughout the trade distribution network as destinations compete for share of voice as markets start to reopen. Tourism Noosa’s trade and business events manager Vynka Hutton said, “The event was purposefully delivered in an educational, but engaging and interactive way, to connect our operators with key travel trade. “With so much new product and experiences, we wanted to update agents to ensure Noosa stays top of mind as one of Queensland’s destinations that offers so much for visitors to discover and explore.“ Attendees were given the opportunity to meet with each of the Noosa suppliers and increase their destination knowledge, as well as thanking the agents for their support through Covid. The event featured product updates from suppliers with each agent receiving stamps on their passports as they made their way through each station. Once the agents had a completed stamped passport, they went into the draw to win prizes generously supplied by Noosa businesses, including nights’ away in rainforest retreats, beachside apartments, tours to Fraser Island

Each guest also took away their own personal Noosa Keep Cup, created specifically for the event by Pottery For the Planet. To test the agent’s knowledge, a curated Noosa trivia event was hosted to engage the agents with a fun night of laughs and friendly competition, with the host styled in true Noosa fashion – a suit jacket and pair of original Okanui boardshorts! Erina Kilmore, head of global sales for Aus-

was fantastic to see key Noosa members engage with agents and gain their support for the future. There is so much to look forward to as borders open sooner than expected, and this trade event was a step in the right direction. The travel trade will grow in importance as borders open, and consumers seek confidence and security when making bookings, due to the complexities they will face with cancellations, travel insurance and uncertainty.
The value of surfing Noosa Putting a monetary value on a natural recreational asset – in this case a World Surfing Reserve – sounds simple, but in fact it has confounded statisticians and academics for decades. But a soon-to-be-published Noosa-based study, led by University of Sunshine Coast researcher Dr Javier Leon, has taken the science a giant step forward. The preliminary findings of the study point to total direct expenditure in the order of $40-50 million a year by surfers using the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, which includes all beaches and points from the river mouth to North Sunshine Beach. The study also calculated the “consumer surplus” – a common economic tool used to value things that have no apparent market value – that ranged between $35-61 per person per surf trip. It is believed to be the first study dedicated to understanding consumer surplus derived exclusively from recreational surfing in Australia. To put this in context, consumer surplus for NWSR is higher than most other results reported from studies looking at beach recreation, including swimming, fishing and relaxation. Since the study also found that 83 per cent of surfers surveyed were local to Noosa Shire, this represents a significant and hitherto unrecognised economic benefit beyond the well-documented financial benefit
of the annual Noosa Festival of Surfing. Data was collected by USC researchers as part of Dr Leon’s Geography of Surfing course. More than 130 surfers participated online and face-to-face, answering 33 questions about their surfing preferences and habits. Preliminary results have been analysed by a multi-disciplinary team with researchers from USC, ANU, UWA and CSIRO. Over and above the travel costs of surfing in the NWSR, the survey found that average annual purchases of surfing gear accounted for $1300 per surfer, mainly driven by surfboards, wetsuits, clothing and other surf accessories, such as leg ropes and wax. The survey also found that surfers earning more than $60,000 surfed in Noosa 1.7 times more in a year than other surfers, and the age groups of 25-34 and over 55 surfed here 1.6 times more than other age groups. Says Dr Leon: “These and other findings of the study are a significant start to understanding the total value of surfing to local and regional economies. More research is needed to better estimate how many surfers visit NSWR and to include other social and cultural benefits.” The paper, titled Non-market valuation of recreational surfing: A novel application of the travel cost method to the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, Australia, is expected to be published before the end of summer.

Travelling in Cobb & Co style.
Santa steals the limelight.
Cr Karen Finzel and Mayor Clare Stewart.
Tewantin turns back time By Margie Maccoll From Cobb & Co coaches and 19th century dress to history talks, vintage cars, stalls and a visit from Santa, it was a journey through its 150 years that was on show at Tewantin last Saturday. Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart were in Poinciana Avenue to cut the anniversary cake as residents and visitors reflected on the years that have passed. Town crier Frank Wilkie revelled in his role informing the public on upcoming activities. Little Seed Theatre Company members donned fashions from the 1800s made by costume designer Leona Seib. Leona said she sewed the outfits composed of skirts, bustles and overskirts in cotton from Simplicity patterns but in their era they were most probably made of wool and calico with undergarments of cotton, linen or silk. Fortunately the theatre group had, this year, performed period theatre pieces Sherlock Holmes and Picnic at Hanging Rock for which the costumes were created. Gavin and Nara Stevens of Drayhorse Shires
at Maroon brought along their prize Shire horses and one of their Cobb & Co coaches that would have transported residents to and from Tewantin when the township was settled, and are now reserved for historic events, special occasions, weddings and funerals. Gavin said they restored the “posh“ carriage to immaculate condition over four years and also owned a “pauper carriage“, which being smaller in size but accommodating more people, would have transported regular people through the area. There was no one riding “shotgun“ on Saturday but a “gatekeeper“ as they were known would have been a mainstay on all coaches travelling the roads. Loretta Mannon and Gavin Mutton came along with their 1909 hybrid vehicle, capable of running with or without a horse. The only one of its kind in original condition was brought by Gavin from Maine in the United States. The day’s entertainment included history talks at the Royal Mail Hotel, an afternoon of entertainment.

Tewantin heritage lunch With a decidedly carnival atmosphere prevailing inside and out on a hot afternoon in Tewantin’s village centre last Saturday, former Noosa Mayor Bob Abbot delivered a warmlyreceived keynote address at the Royal Mail Heritage Luncheon celebrating the town’s 150th birthday. Bob reminded the packed house of Tewantin pioneers and “first fleeters” that their river town had joined the communities together, even when the shire’s economy and much of its population was centred on the rural hinterland. “It wasn’t the beach, it was the river that was important to the people who came here in the early days. It gave them access to abundant seafood, to farmlands and the other communities, upriver to Boreen Point, downriver to the Heads. “At the time Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and Kin Kin were all growing and becoming important. By the turn of the century there were four dairy co-op butter factories in the shire, and a few years later the banana crop was being freighted out of the shire’s railway stations several times a week. During this time a lot of families came down from Gympie and resettled in Tewantin and the relationship between those towns remains strong.” The former mayor, who became a Noosa councillor just a couple of years after the shire chambers were moved from Pomona to Tewantin, reflected that the old school rural councillors had not been happy to see the shire controlled from “that end”, which was their term of derision for Tewantin and the coast. “They saw a different destiny for Noosa, built around the farming businesses of the hinterland. But that’s not the way it went. Too many people were moving to Tewantin because they could see that it was a peaceful, restful place to live and that it would prosper. “And when you look at the town today, you can see that it hasn’t suffered the ravages of

Police crackdown By Abbey Cannan Noosa Police are preparing for a busy holiday period, with calls for service set to double as they stretch resources between Hastings Street and Noosa North Shore. The station averages 160 jobs a week, and from now until the end of January, they expect to be receiving 250 to 300 calls for service a week. They will be cracking down on late night trading, with a zero tolerance policy to excess alcohol consumption and violent behaviour in Hastings St, Noosa Police acting senior sergeant Troy Cavell said. “With borders opening up, Noosa will be running at 100 per cent until after Australia Day,“ he said. “We’re issuing police banning notices for Hastings St to anyone who is involved in any sort of violent behaviour there. “This means they are banned from attending Hastings St precincts with a licensed premises for a period of three months.“ This follows a string of recent assaults around Noosa Heads, including an incident where two men became involved in five separate assaults within a 20 minute period at 2am on 21 November. “The two men have been charged with multiple assaults and grievous bodily harm,“ Senior Sergeant Cavell said. “One of the men, an 18-year-old, is being held in custody until the end of February for another court appearance.“ There will be extra police patrolling the licensed premises around Bay Village, including Rolling Rock, Little Sister, Laguna Jacks, and Cafe Le Monde, until 3am to combat any sort of violence. “It’s not acceptable behaviour,“ Senior Sergeant Cavell said. “There was an increase in assaults that started 12 months ago when lockdown ended

seen a recent reduction in burglaries, break and enter of businesses, and stolen cars. Senior Sergeant Cavell encouraged the community to be mindful of the extra traffic and their neighbours during the holiday period. “We just want to see people do the right thing, and if they do the right thing, then we don’t have to get in their way,“ he said. “Police have families that they want to get home and see during the holidays too.“
Cash seized Almost $230,000 cash and 120 cannabis plants have been seized in two raids on properties in Gympie and the Sunshine Coast. Around 8am on Wednesday 8 December, police simultaneously searched two properties at Pomona and Nahrunda. More than 90 cannabis plants were located growing in shipping containers at the Pomona property. More than $220,000 was also located. At the Nahrunda address, more than $3000 cash was located along with almost 30 plants growing in shipping containers. A 33-year-old Nahrunda woman has been charged with producing and possessing dangerous drugs. She has also been charged with possessing anything used in the commission of a crime and possession of property suspected to be proceeds of an offence She is due to appear in Gympie Magistrates Court on 7 February.

In addition, infrastructure such as sewer lines and private yard encroachments extend into the Lake Doonella foreshore. The area also has significant biodiversity and environmental values of foreshores and wetlands, with some in good condition, but significant sections requiring restoration.” The report recommended Council create a foreshore plan for the entire lake that investigateds tenure, ecology, access, recreational areas and costs and guided the management of the area.

Cr Brian Stockwell recommended the matter be referred to the 2022-23 budget process for assessment with the Eastern Beaches plan being a higher priority. But Cr Amelia Lorentson said residents may disagree there was no urgency. Cr Karen Finzel asked if something could be done in the short term, saying issues had been raised about the area for the past 11 years. The officer said it was a complex issue involving hundreds of properties around the foreshore and once the plan was begun, with research and consultation, he estimated it

Staff shortages have led Noosa Council to postpone the initiation of a foreshore management plan at Lake Doonella, despite concerns raised by residents over foreshore issues, Council’s general meeting on Monday heard. The meeting was told Council had been approached by two community groups on several issues, including clarity on access to a section of Lake Doonella foreshore, particularly between Shields and Doonella streets, and a report was created in response. The issue has been compounded by council’s Noosa Cycling and Walking Strategy implementation plan 2020-2040 that indicates a network through that location, an officer said. Investigations by council’s environment officer found local representations had been diverse, ranging from seeking clarity about tenure and ownership to addressing concerns over the condition of native and exotic vegetation, damage to native and exotic plants, misuse of the foreshore, and existing and proposed access infrastructure in the foreshore. Many of the requests directly conflicted with each other. For instance, one resident was seeking to entirely prevent access to the foreshore behind their residence, while another group seeks a public path through the same area, the report found. In addition, some residents were seeking to improve views by reducing vegetation, whereas others would like to regenerate and revegetate. The report states: “preliminary investigations revealed a similar level of confusion and potential for conflicting objectives among potential and actual land managers and landowners in the Shields St – Memorial Ave area, including private landholders, the Council and State Government. It is noted that the area has complex tenure arrangements, including a mix of freehold lots held by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, various forms
would take between 6-12 months to complete. Acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock said council departments had been conducting work at the site to address community concerns with information provided to affected landowners in a letter sent to them following a meeting between council officers and residents. Mr Sengstock said public stairs in Shields Street were repaired, a stormwater drain in Werin Street had been assessed with work options put forward, surveyors had been working on identifying property boundaries and rubbish would be removed. A decision on the Lake Doonella Foreshore Plan was to be made at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Candice is Russia-bound By Abbey Cannan Two broken wrists couldn’t keep a Noosaville ballet dancer off the stage, and now the talented 15-year-old has leaped her way into an acclaimed Russian ballet academy. Noosa Professional Dance Academy dancer Candice Desilets has been accepted into the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia. The acclaimed academy has produced some of the most accomplished stars of the current generation, including Natalia Osipova, Alexei Ratmansky, and Polina Semionova. With its nearly 250-year history, the Academy’s curriculum and pedagogy are recognised for their focus on strength, musicality, clarity of technique, and personal expression. Candice was just three years old when a dance teacher in South Africa told her mother, Diane Desilets, that she had potential. Traveling to Russia at the age of 12, Candice’s goal was locked in after watching some of the best dancers in the world perform on stage. “I did a bit of training in Russia but with a different academy and I just saw the different level of technique,“ Candice said. “We had to film a video audition and after that they asked for more details, then you have to do medical reports and full examinations. “I was overjoyed when I was accepted, but I also had been told by friends that I had a chance of getting in.“ Not your expected dance mum, Diane said she was just proud of her daughter for following her dream. “We want to say a thank you to Noosa Professional Dance Academy and all the teachers for their support,“ Diane said. “There’s always hiccups along the road but she’s done exceptionally well.“ These hiccups include an accident earlier this year where Candice fell from a three-

In a normal year prior to the pandemic, the Desilets family would divide their time between South Africa, Australia, sailing the Mediterranean, and traveling Europe, during which Candice wasn’t able to spend as much time training. “I’ve kind of adapted to the constant change while growing up so I’m mostly just excited,“ she said. “The excitement overweighs any negativity. “I’ve danced there before and everything was very well maintained and the cities have
great history. I will be starting in January and the holidays are in June, so it’s a six-month program, then if you get invited back, it’s another three years.“ Candice said she loved the precision required for ballet. “Ballet is a good form of discipline and there is so much hard work and control that goes into it,“ she said. While she is there, Candice will be training six days a week and will be required to learn the Russian language. “They only speak Russian at the Academy and the timetables are written in Russian,“ Candice said. “You have to learn Russian in the first six months otherwise you can’t stay.“ The dedicated dancer said her dream goal was to dance at the Mariinsky Theatre or Bolshoi Theatre. “However, if not, any European country would be great,“ Candice said. She’s worked so hard to get to the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, and now the real hard work will start.

PTSD Dogs Australia will receive $4998 for training courses to assist volunteers in their work with veterans with PTSD.
Funding for groups Nine Noosa organisations will share in $32,360 through the Australian Government’s Volunteer Grants Program in recognition of their valuable work. “Volunteers are the beating heart of our communities, and Noosa and its hinterland areas simply would not be the same vibrant, thriving communities without the energy, expertise and time that volunteers generously give,” Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien said. The grants are between $1000 and $5000, and will enable organisations in Wide Bay to better support their volunteers to purchase small equipment, pay fuel, transport and training costs, as part of the Government’s $20 million Volunteer Grants round, to support the crucial role they play as Australia moves forward out of the pandemic. The following Noosa and hinterland organisations have received funding: Cooran State School P & C Association $1200.00 for an iPad to be used for sales at the tuckshop and fundraising events. Cooroy Golf Club - $2530 for protective workwear and a first aid kit.

The Queensland Government has announced new response measures to Covid cases, commencing on 1 January 2022. Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath said the measures were consistent with Australia’s national plan for reopening. “Queensland’s management of Covid-19 so far has meant we’ve experienced significantly less cases than other jurisdictions, and after hitting that 80 per cent vaccination target, our borders are re-opening,” Minister D’Ath said. “To continue moving forward, we also need to acknowledge that the coming months will inevitably bring a rise in cases and increased community transmission. “For every Covid positive person, there will also be close and casual contacts. Managing the testing, tracing and quarantine of these people – along with bolstering surge capacity in our hospitals – will be key in keeping businesses and borders open. “As with the restrictions that are set to start on 17 December, what you have to do if you are a close contact will be all about your vaccination status.” Requirements for casual contacts from 1 January 2022 are as follows: Get tested immediately and quarantine until receiving a negative result. Encouraged to wear a mask outside the home for 14 days. Requirements for vaccinated close contacts from 1 January 2022: Quarantine for seven days. Get a test immediately and on day five. Move out of quarantine on day eight (if tested negative). Precautionary measures including mask wearing outside the home and avoiding high-risk settings for days eight-14. Vaccinated household contacts of close contacts do not need to quarantine, but will need a test on days one and five. Unvaccinated household contacts of close contacts will need to follow the same quarantine and testing requirements as the close contact, unless they can separate from the contact. Requirements for unvaccinated close contacts from 1 January 2022: Quarantine for 14 days. Get tested immediately and on days five and 12. Vaccinated household contacts of close contacts will need to quarantine for seven days, and get a test on day one and five, unless they can separate from the contact. Unvaccinated household contacts of close contacts will need to follow the same quarantine and testing requirements as the close contact, unless they can separate from the contact. Minister for Employment and Small Business Di Farmer said the new arrangements would minimise disruption for businesses.

Buggy service returns The long-awaited new Noosa hospital buggy service was launched on Wednesday 8 December along with the return of the volunteer-run concierge service. Providing much appreciated assistance, volunteers collect patients from the far-flung reaches of the carpark and transport them in the buggy to the hospital door. As Justin Greenwell, the hospital chief executive officer said at the opening ceremony, reducing the stress of impending procedures can have real, positive outcomes for the patients. “Patients get enormous benefits from the smiles and positive attitudes of the volunteers who transport them. People experience care, right from the carpark,” Mr Greenwell said. After the demise of the old buggy, patients sorely missed the service. Following an approach by John Milland, Community Advisory Committee member, Noosa’s volunteer organisations again stepped forward. The Tewantin Noosa Lions Club, the Noosa Heads Lions Club, the Australian Lions Foundation and local business Gregson and Weight
New buggy commissioned at Noosa Hospital. provided funding for the new buggy. Gregson and Weight had supplied the original buggy, which did great service over many years until
retiring to that great hospital carpark in the sky. Bob Abbott, another Community Advisory
Committee member described the fabulous service provided by the community and noted how wonderful it was to see it coming back into operation. Although other concierge services exist at hospitals around Australia, the one operating at Noosa Hospital is thought to be one of the few run entirely by volunteers. Noosa Hospital, now in its 21st year of operation, provides a vital health service to Noosa’s growing population. With almost 100 beds, the hospital runs three operating theatres and employs 445 staff. Record levels of activity are currently being experienced with more than 21,000 patient interactions and over 18,000 people through the emergency department in the past year. Now, patients will again be able to enjoy being picked up from their parked car and delivered to the hospital door. Dispensing a smile and comforting words, Noosa’s volunteers show us all how to provide a bit of kindness.

Mower for dog charity It was a case of man’s best friend, helping man’s best friend this week when Rover Mowers and the team at Mower and ATV Solutions in Cooroy, came to the rescue of local charity PTSD Dogs Australia, subsidising the purchase of a zero-turn ride-on-mower for their new home in the Noosa hinterland. The charity, which rescues dogs, that rescue veterans and first responders with PTSD, recently moved onto the two-acre hinterland property, but desperately needed a mower to allow them to keep the property well maintained to keep their precious pooches safe from ticks and snakes. It costs approximately $40,000 per dog to fully train, house and maintain an assistance dog, so it is vital they are kept safe in their home. PTSD Dogs Australia, a local charity based near Cooroy, rescues dogs from shelters and pounds, trains them to become highly-skilled assistance dogs, then places the dogs, at no cost, to veterans and first responders suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of their service to the community. Chief executive officer Angie Weeks said she was delighted Rover and Dave from Mower and ATV Solutions were able to assist. “Dave and his team have been absolutely wonderful. We are incredibly grateful to them and to Rover for their support,” she said. Owner and all-round good guy, Dave Mancktelow from Mower and ATV Solutions in Cooroy said, “We’re really happy to support this organisation.” “We really respect what our veterans and first responders do.

The organisation is almost entirely run by volunteers and relies heavily on donations, grants and sponsorships to carry out their great work.

Superheroes go further Being presented with the Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) Inc Superheroes Award in March this year and being environmentally conscious, Jackie and Darren Kennan, of Noosa Sun Motel in Noosaville, were spurred on to look for new ways to be more eco-friendly and further reduce the motel’s greenhouse gas emissions. Said Darren: “Having seen the great savings we made after installing solar PV in 2016, we were keen to reduce our costs from airconditioning. Being successful applicants in the Federal Government’s Energy Uplift grant rogram for small accommodation providers, we were able to improve our air conditioning efficiency by installing eight Solar Ark roof ventilators that let hot air out of the roof cavity. “These ventilators have made a huge difference to the room temperatures and therefore the amount of A/C our guests now use. The upper floor room temperatures have been reduced by four degrees, and the downstairs rooms feel like the A/C is on when it is not, so guests in all rooms use much less air conditioning than before. It also makes it much cooler for us to work when we are servicing the rooms, so it is a win/win for the guests, for us and for the owner, who pays a lower power bill and our emissions from energy use are reduced even further.“ Noosa Sun Motel has also been fitted with a system that Darren and his staff can log into remotely and turn off the A/C if guests have

With LED lighting throughout the complex, solar pool heating, biodegradable coffee pods, recycle bins in every unit, recycled toilet tissue, toiletries that are packaged in bio-degradable and compostable materials and cans and bottles separated and delivered to Containers for Change, Darren and Jackie’s attention to detail is making Noosa Sun Motel a truly eco-friendly place to stay. Well done Darren and Jackie for going all out to reduce the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions of Noosa Sun Motel. You are true ZEN Inc Superheroes!

NOOSA FAIR MASSAGE
The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK KELLY CLARKSON: WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES AROUND SBS Viceland, Saturday, 8.30pm
GARDENING AUSTRALIA: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm
Before you wonder where you’ll get your garden inspiration and nature fix from after the team packs up the shovels and seeds for another year, settle in for an abundance of Christmas cheer and savvy, creative garden ideas. Presenter Costa Georgiadis perpetually exudes a festive cheer and here, he dons Santa’s red hat in an episode jampacked with Yuletide joy. Costa visits Jimmy and Jane Barnes at their country home, while Jerry explores fragrant frangipani. Hannah makes a handmade snack with nasturtium leaves and Jane recommends plants to attract insects.
Go big or go home – that should be the mantra of all Christmas specials, and American singing powerhouse Kelly Clarkson won’t disappoint with this festive spectacular. Hot on the heels of releasing her Christmas album, When Christmas Comes Around, you can expect this stage show, filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood, to be meticulously styled. Her own songs will be sprinkled in with festive classics, along with special guests including Ariana Grande, Jay Leno, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Odom Jr and Amy Poehler, as well as some Oprah-style, feel-good giveaways.
THE ROYAL EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO: CELEBRATING 70 YEARS ABC TV, Monday, 8.30pm
It’s a musical spectacle in a league of its own. Set on the grounds of the majestic Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle and showcasing music by the British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and international military bands, this iconic Scottish event that has traditionally been watched by more than 100 million people around Christmas time on the humble TV. The festival has never been cancelled in its 70-year history, except the past two years during COVID. This special celebrates 70 years of the Military Tattoo by soaking in its best moments.
Christmas cheer: Kelly Clarkson hosts star-studded festive special When Christmas Comes Around.
CHER AND THE LONELIEST ELEPHANT SBS, Tuesday, 8.30pm
This could be the winner of most surreal title for a TV special this year. You might find yourself quietly asking: has Cher waylaid being a singing superstar to become a zookeeper? The truth is not far off that mark, in this gloriously strange and uplifting documentary. In an epic journey edited down to movie-length captivating viewing, we learn how superstar Cher flew across the world during the pandemic to help save a bull elephant that had been held prisoner for 30 years in heartbreaking conditions in a zoo in Pakistan. The awesome nature of the story will stay after the credits.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
Freedom call Llew O’Brien’s freedom call looks like it was made during a cameo appearance on a new series of Mad as Hell. A humorous self-parody. His declaration that ‘Throughout this pandemic, the Queensland government has seized our freedoms’ and his call to ‘lift the restrictions and give our freedoms back to us’, are clearly part of the Morrison government’s main narrative for the federal election campaign. Having backed the wrong horse in the vaccination race, and facing a revolt by a number of its own jockeys, the government seems to find it easier to mouth populist slogans than address many substantial issues, such as the urgent need for an anti corruption watchdog with powers to investigate wrongdoing by federal politicians. This policy drought is obviously the result of climate change. Perhaps it will rectify itself over time if the government continues to do nothing about it. Meanwhile, the cause of freedom has been given a boost by none other than the Nats’ esteemed leader Barnaby. I refer to his contracting the Covid virus while double vaccinated, and then being forced to endure hotel quarantine in Washington. All this while on an exhausting overseas junket - I mean journey made on behalf of the people of Australia. Could there be any better proof of the futility of vaccination, and the horrors of enforced isolation? It is enough to make you stand up and shout, ‘Free Barnaby!’ At least Llew’s clarion call for freedom will remind voters how they got it so wrong when Palaszczuk dished up the LNP at the last state election. Bill Bodkin, Sunshine Beach
Speed danger Just like to wish Noosa council and Coolum police, a happy Christmas for doing absolutely nothing in regards to speeding on Podargus Pde, Peregian Beach. Your total lack of action has sent a clear Christmas message to those responsible for same, that no sign of action means business as usual. Children play, there is a children’s playground and also school buses. Work it out before it’s too late. Stuart, Peregian Beach
Freedom this Christmas? Another year - their ninth locked-up in our prison camps. Our refugees and the Biloela family wait and hope that priceless Christian gifts of compassion, kindness and freedom will bring comfort and joy to their lives. Maybe this year? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach
Anti-vax - Covid hoax While these people are extremely vociferous while putting forward their minority points of views. It seems that they are not prepared to listen to alternative arguments. The word is bigot. I recently watched, on TV, a Covid protester being arrested. He was shouting out,’’ Nazis! Nazis!” Now I would have thought that any protester worth his salt would do a little research
LENSCAPE
Judy Greaves sent in this photo taken by her friend Lee Williams of these beautiful creatures who came to say hello to them on their front lawn at Noosa Waters. before taking to the streets, and shouting slogans. If the policemen had truly been the instruments of a Nazi regime, he would have either been taken to a camp, taken to a cell, and had his finger nails and teeth removed with pliers, or taken to the nearest wall and shot. Perhaps knowing that the police are not really Nazis, he has the false courage to shout his immature slogans. Should an anti-vaxer, or a Covid hoax exponent, end up in ICU, I hope that they have sufficient breath to convince the doctors and nurse that it is all a deception, and not to waste their valuable time in trying to save his life. Anthony King, Noosa
Letters of roads, rates and rubbish What a great Letters to The Editor page this week in NT! Finally, no more about the pros and cons re: climate change, but articles that affect us all as NSC ratepayers now! Roads, rates, and rubbish...the three main concerns we have as ratepayers and getting value for our money is what is on offer... Ingrid’s Tale of Traffic Woes ticks all three boxes, the third being rubbish due to the fact that the continual waste of our money granted by our council to bus companies to give tourists free access to Hastings Street is nothing but a feel good band-aid measure that never did, does, or will ever give us locals reasonable access to the precinct we once called Noosa. Playford and Wellington tried to shut the gate and slow down the soaring rate of tourism during their terms as mayor, but the horse had already bolted. Tourism Noosa, otherwise
known as Old Regret, has made this a fact. And well said to Joy and Adam. Joy gets the tick in the rates category, vaccination rates, that is, and Adam ticks both the rates and rubbish boxes with his comments on Llew O’Brien’s fence straddling position again on vaccinations. One could be forgiven for thinking that he’s got a private line to Novax, The Joker, Djokovic. Getting tips, are we Llew? And anyone that even hints at being empathetic with One Nation and Clive Palmer’s UAP because of their positions on vaccinations, let alone a possible declaration of support via preferences in the forthcoming election to either, can only be considered as complete rubbish. M. Griffin, Tewantin
Jack Newton classic facts I would like to correct some of the statements in the article in Pin High in Noosa Today on 10 December that mentions Jack Newton being honoured by NSW PGA and talks about the early days of the Noosa Celebrity Pro Am. The Noosa Celebrity Pro Am started in 1979 at Tewantin Golf Club. John Piercy, the president of the club at that time, came up with the concept that professional golfers like Jack Newton, Bob Stanton, Bob Shearer, Ian Stanley and Roger Davis, to name a few, would enjoy a post-season, pre-Christmas pro am that also included celebrities, entertainers and sports people. The tournament was a great success and Jack Newton attended every year. After Jack survived his accident, the next event was held in his honour. Jack then formed the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation and the tournament was renamed the Jack Newton Celebrity
Classic. The tournament continued at Tewantin, then moved to Twin Waters and then to the Hunter Valley. Gregg Piercy, Sunshine Beach
Trailer hazard As a new bike rider I tend to look at bike lanes in my travels so I can plan safe bike trips. There are so many empty boat trailers that are regularly/permanently parked on Noosa Parade. Many are so wide or badly parked as to encroach into the bike lanes. Very dangerous considering the reasonably busy the traffic and the number of buses travel up and down the parade. Why are so many empty boat trailers parked in the street? None are hitched to a car. I noticed at least seven during the week. Not only dangerous and unsightly, but these valuable parking spots can be used by vehicles when parking is hard to find. Andrew Papadopoulos, Tewantin
Karen and family say thanks From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all with sincere gratitude for your generous donations for my mum’s life-saving medications, which to date are still working! We are humbled beyond words to have such amazing friends, family and our community supporting us during these stressful times. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year filled with lots of laughter love and cheer. As Mum says: “There is always something to be thankful for”.

Already in 2021, 267 people have lost their lives on Queensland roads, and police are pleading with travellers to reach their destinations safely. Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister for Fire and Emergency Services, the Honourable Mark Ryan MP, joined Assistant Commissioner Ben Marcus to launch the Christmas road safety campaign, Operation Tango Mistletoe. With the commencement of school holidays and the opening of the Queensland border on Monday, police are preparing for an increased number of vehicles on the road as families travel to their holiday destinations. To ensure drivers are contributing to a safe trip for all road users, police will be increasing their presence on highways and roads, with a focus on deterring and detecting speeding drivers and encouraging fa-
tigued drivers to take a break on long trips. Assistant Commissioner Marcus urged drivers to take their time travelling to their destinations, and to plan frequent rest stops. “With the school holidays now upon us and more of us poised to travel to spend Christmas with our loved ones, we expect to see an increased number of drivers on our roads,” Assistant Commissioner Marcus said. “We are asking drivers to be patient and courteous on the roads, but also to enjoy their trip and stop for a break when needed. “Driver fatigue is one of the leading factors contributing to road crashes and can have a direct consequence on your life and those around you. “If you are heading off on a long trip these holidays, take responsibility for your actions. When possible, arrange to share the driving,
and build rest stops into your trip every two hours. “I want to urge all drivers planning to travel long distances these holidays to please take your time, because every decision you make behind the wheel counts.” Minister Ryan said his wish for Christmas was to ensure all travellers reached their destinations safely. “Queenslanders are excited to be able to travel to see family and friends, and to travel to holiday destinations this Christmas,” Minister Ryan said. “We have a beautiful state in Queensland, and it can be a pleasure to take a leisurely drive to your destination. I want to encourage anyone undertaking a road trip to make regular stops along your drive to take in some of the spectacular scenery and local businesses Queensland has to offer.”

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP
Covid journey continues Coming into Christmas, there has been a number of unwelcome hiccups on our Covid journey including the devastation to many in our community through divisive mandates that had never been articulated previously, as well as inconsistences between states creating confusion and uncertainty in efforts to see loved one’s interstate. However, amongst the frustrations and trepidations, there have been some very special gifts. One, wrapped in recycled glittery paper, was the true soul of Noosa. Diverse, inclusive and compassionate. Unprecedented thousands of emails, calls, texts and private messages overloaded our office from residents sharing their opposition to segregation based on vaccination status, with many coming from vaccinated Noosans. As they have relayed, nowhere in the map did it say that as greater freedoms were made available to those of us vaccinated, that current freedoms would be reduced for others. As we have seen, health directives are essential to get through any health emergency. Rising above a handful of extremists from both sides, emerged an incredible sensible centre, focused on unifying our community to get through the coming weeks safely. They have loved ones with differing beliefs about managing their health, utilise businesses that may face closure or have friends about to become jobless. They have parents at our aged care facilities who cannot access registered nurses, or partners who work in, or are patients in various professional health modalities for which Noosa is renowned. Does anyone remember a tourism campaign from many years ago, titled Naturally Noosa? This was not just about an environmental stance, but also our wellness industries. Ever since I have lived here, now 30 years, most of us utilise in some way one of the natural therapies, often not realising it! Whether it is herbal supplements, chiropractors, holistic dentistry or naturopathy, our health beliefs are as diverse as our residents. Many of our psychologists, doctors, counsellors, pharmacists and care workers, as well thousands of clients, share common belief structures around the impacts of what every day we put into our bodies. Their commitment to wellness and healing includes avoiding chemicals absorbed via our skin such as parabens, and what we consume, including sugars, alcohol and preservatives which are considered toxic to our bodies. Their industries, unlike hospital and aged care workers, have not previously required vaccinations as part of their work requirements. They are clear this is not about being antivax. For these Noosans, it is about remaining true to a particular natural ethos and regime. They include residents recovering from cancer or substance abuse, as well domestic violence and rape victims already traumatised by force or coercion. Sadly, they feel vilified and incorrectly labeled by governments and media as hippies in the hills and renegades. These university-educated professionals and trained practitioners, alongside their patients of all ages and backgrounds, are deeply respected in our community. That they have not been offered alternatives utilised throughout this pandemic by them and other businesses, such as telehealth and venue capacity restrictions as we transition, does not make much sense to them or their patients. Given that across Australia, governments cannot keep up with the demands on our systems by poor health choices that lead to diminished immune systems, preventable chronic illnesses and death, we have to ask the question - why are we ostracising those who work in prevention and education? As I said in my speech in Parliament, these practitioners, and the research associated with, are vital components in our health journey into the future. At the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine healing from nature utilising Indigenous knowledge is a focus. The Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research is spending millions developing a treatment to get our immune systems fitter to deal
Noosa MP Sandy Bolton with viruses and other diseases. Who knows, in 50 years we may not need vaccines at all because of their work. Regardless of what occurs in the coming weeks, as we hit further vaccination targets and merge into our new norm, may the discussions around those that practice natural health turn to one of opportunity, and move away from divisive labelling. The logistics of managing Covid is now forefront in our minds and will continue for some time. With the combination of our high vaccination rates and then natural immunity from those who catch it in the coming weeks, we trust that herd immunity is not too far off, though as we have seen, this provides no guarantees. Just like each year with the flu, which in 2019 saw on average five Queenslanders die each week, we will have many sick, and some sadly die. Of note, since hygiene measures were brought in because of Covid, flu deaths dropped from 1080 in 2019 to 55 in 2020. Someone said a coincidence, however, when
you think about the consequences of our actions every day, these statistics say something very important. Regardless of vaccination status or percentages, we cannot let down on our hygiene practices and other safeguards. Hand washing, distancing, masks and getting tested/staying at home if unwell that I have nagged everyone about over so many months is what we need to adhere to especially when outbreaks start. The term recently being bandied about that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated is misleading through its inference. As our vaccination rates have increased, we have seen a decrease in hygiene practices and use of the check-in app which is a vital tool for tracers. If we are not careful, we may become a pandemic of the complacent. Over many months the strategies incorporated has been around logistics and the capacity of our health services. Even without Covid, these have been struggling for many months with extended surgery waitlists, ambulance ramping and up to seven months to see a psychologist. The greatest
Christmas gift would be that Government reconsider directives that are creating so much unnecessary trauma where there are safe alternatives such as telehealth and PPE to ensure we have all hands on deck, as well clarify at what vaccination percentage mandates that are untenable for our businesses will be lifted so they can plan accordingly. So, after unwrapping that glittery present and all it contained, I hope there is respectful vibrant discussion with friends and a glass of bubbles. Now, time for some reminders! Firstly, be ready in all ways for the holidays. Whether it be Covid outbreaks which is all but guaranteed, flood, fire or storm, be prepared including vaccinations or boosters to avoid lengthy queues or supply issues. Make sure you have your Noosa pack always with you. Sunscreen, hat, a good read, water and vitamins to deal with the aftermath of the many events and parties on the advent calendar, spare masks and your smile! As well those links to our local businesses so you can shop online and off. Friday, 17 December, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 29

Countdown on to Carols With less than one week to go until the Peregian Beach carols, businesses are warming up for a night to remember in Peregian Park. “Local musicians, boutique artisan stalls and a gourmet food court will delight every sense as residents and tourists mingle, reflect and sing along,” Peregian Family and Friends president Leigh McCready said. “We are all looking forward to celebrating Christmas, holidays and the joy of spending time with friends and family.” “The event would not have been possible without the support of Noosa Council and we are grateful for all the organisers of the longterm Peregian Beach Carols tradition, now in its 57th year, which was run by the Peregian Surf Club and then continued by Peregian Originals, which runs the monthly music festival in Peregian Park.” Peregian Beach Business Association president Nicki White said they were fortunate to have the support of local businesses who had chosen to sponsor the event. “We have six major sponsors who are really digging deep to make the event one of a kind.
These are Bedouin Traders, Pitchfork Restaurant, Peregian Beach Hotel, Neller Real Estate, White’s IGA and Jet Rose Property.” “We’ve also received a lot of support from other local businesses which have meant we can put on an event which shines brightly and memorably for Peregian.” “Thanks also to Peregian Family Medical, Mortgage Choice Peregian Beach, Captain’s Daughter, Pizzami Gourmet Pizza, Options Eyecare Peregian Beach, Annie’s Books on Peregian, Antiques & Possibilities, Baked Poetry, Flitefit and the Tewantin-Noosa branch of the Country Women’s Association.” “We are also pleased as part of our plasticfree event to welcome Unitywater as our water sponsor so everyone has access to fill up their own water bottles or the Noosa Water aluminium bottles which will be on sale.” “The night will also feature children’s entertainment, a special guest and friends arriving at 5.30pm and a laser show to conclude the evening at 7.45pm,” Ms McCready said.

Jack Robb getting ready to take off on his bike at Christmas in Cooroy.
Christmas fun in Cooroy By Margie Maccoll A summer storm crashed down on Cooroy last Friday evening just as the Santas were getting ready to run in one of the highlights of the annual Christmas in Cooroy event, the Great Santa Race. But the weather didn’t deter participants or onlookers who waited about half an hour for the rain to subside before the Santas took up their positions in front of thousands and Noosa councillor Tom Wegener started the race. King of the Mountain champion Jorge Hernae was tipped to win but the long-distance runner wasn’t used to racing in a Santa suit. It was a close race with first time runner, basketball player Nathan Heran coming in first with Jorge in third place. “It was something I wanted to try,“ Nathan said. “The run was harder than I thought. It was good though and something you remember.“ Christmas celebrations continued in the hinterland over the weekend with the Eumundi Christmas Extravaganza attracting many thousands of people to the festive event. Families flocked to the event, happily queueing for the free rides and the food stalls or enjoying the festive show which incorporated the Hinterland Carols, included a visit from Santa and was followed by fireworks.

On the water and on the land ... the Carols Cruise on Noosa River proved a great attraction. 261870
Carols cruise brings joy By Erle Levey The storm had been building since mid afternoon and reached a crescendo midway though the Noosa Carol Cruise on Saturday evening. Yet the 20-minute summer downpour didn’t dampen the spirits of those who had gathered at riverbank parks, on decks and balconies of homes and apartments or on the flotilla of boats that followed the carol singers aboard the Noosa Ferry Miss Tewantin. It was the second Carol Cruise and was sponsored by Reed & Co Estate Agents in conjunction with the Noosa Ferry. On board were members of the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir who sang a variety of carols and Christmas favourites either at organised stops or while the classic timber ferry glided through the waters of Noosa River and Noosa Sound. The response was one of surprise and enjoyment from those who had not been part of the annual cruise and boat parade before, most of the boats having been decorated in keeping with the theme. The rain squall provided the chance for those on board or on the land to strike up new
friendships through the gift of song. Reed & Co principal Adrian Reed was so proud about the event. He said it was an obligation of business to contribute to the community and there was no better way than to share a great experience together. “Carols on the River epitomises that. “By bringing families together it becomes a celebration of community and the wonderful place we get to live in.’’ Sunshine Coast Oriana and Youth Choir president Melissa Innes said the Carols Cruise on Noosa River was absolutely spectacular. Highlighted by a storm mid-cruising, the Noosa River, the setting sun and local residents really turned it on to support this wonderful community event. “This concept is genius and Sunshine Coast Youth Choir, despite the downpour, loved being a part of it. We loved this event and what it represented in terms of bringing the community together. “Thanks Reed & Co, Noosa Ferry and Noosa residents for bringing the spirit of Christmas alive.’’

Noosa Arts presents classic fairytale with a twist Noosa Arts Theatre is delighted to announce their traditional favourite pantomime show is back with a blast in 2022 after last year’s enforced Covid hiatus. This will be director Susan Dearnley’s ninth pantomime. The show is Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairytale, The Emperor’s New Clothes, with a brilliant panto twist. When the egotistical and clothes-obsessed, Emperor Fancypants engages conartists Nip and Tuck, to make him the most fabulous outfit, they fool him into purchasing a suit of clothes so finely made, that only the most intelligent of people can actually see it. Unfortunately the costs keep escalating, until the kingdom is virtually bankrupt. After much comedy business, the Emperor’s eyes are finally opened by an innocent child, and Nip and Tuck’s trickery is finally exposed. Due to Covid restrictions, the cast numbers are slightly lower but out of the wonderful cast of 21, 11 are returnees to the pantomime stage which just confirms how much actors both young and old love this genre. As we know it’s a huge amount of fun for not only the kids who can get involved, but
The Emperor’s New Clothes cast at Noosa Arts Theatre. the adults who can revert to their childhood days and enjoy the ride too.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
Barefoot ticks the box Trevor Pepys revisits Barefoot Bar and Grill Following a first visit early this year, Trev had actually snuck back a couple of times for a working lunch on the river, and liked Barefoot a lot for its unpretentious fit-out, dependable tucker and easy-going atmosphere. But when a mate grabbed him by the shoulders in a bar queue recently and said, “Barefoot’s new menu is sensational!”, Trev decided he’d better drag the missus down the road on a recent Friday to give it a taste test, getting slightly drenched by a heavy shower on the way, but saved from complete embarrassment by the trusty wide-coverage Bunnings brollie. Not that there was anything wrong with the previous no-nonsense menu, but Barefoot bar and Grill has spread its wings, as it were, while remaining grounded in simple fare done well, with a view and a smile. The new menu is more expansive than the last, but its accent is on light dishes to share, and this is very much to Trev’s liking. We sipped on an Aquilani Pinot Grigio 2020 ($42), a light-bodied, slightly fruity wine from the Tuscan hills, just about perfect for pairing with light share plates, and made our selection while nibbling on a delicious platter of melted parmesan on sourdough with bush basil pesto ($9). We opted for the beef tataki ($22) and the fish tacos ($22), leaving room for a taste of dessert. The tataki consisted of lightly seared eye fillet cut into thin slices and served on a seaweed salad sauced with a fragrant ponzu sauce. The ponzu might have been a little sour for some tastes, but not a bad start. The fish tacos (two) consisted of a healthy-sized battered flathead fillet served with slaw in a soft tortilla, accompanied with taro chips, tomato and onion salsa and guacamole. Trev has noted before that there are quite a few kitchens around town doing a decent fish taco, but this dish was right up there for taste and presentation. With another glass left in the Aquilani, the missus twisted Trev’s arm for a shared Whisky Crème Caramel ($14), which turned out to be the icing on the cake for a pretty damn good light dinner. The verdict: Barefoot Bar and Grill has flown a bit under the radar on a strip that includes heavy-hitters like Gusto and Little Humid, but all that might be about to change. Right now, however, this pleasant terrace offers an interesting and balanced menu at sensible prices. And they support local live music with afternoon sessions most weekends. Trev gives BB & G a big tick. Barefoot Bar and Grill, 269 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. Phone 21023355.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa
School’s out, fishing’s in So here we are, the last few weeks of 2021. What a year it has been for many, and what a year it will be going forward. School holidays are about to kick off and for many they have already started. The good news there are other schools out and about in the form of mackerel! We have seen a few reports coming in from the kayak fraternity who are often the first to start hooking up. Although not big, the fish are around the 6kg mark and make excellent eating. Remember the size, bag, and boat limits on Spanish mackerel. There are also smaller mac tuna, spotty mackerel and even mahi, mahi. Most anglers have been flicking slugs for mackerel and while drifting, having a ganghooked pilchard out just running in the current can get quality fish. The currents have picked up which could be the reason for the mackerel showing up and, as such, sitting on anchor is harder. Other fish taking floated pilchards on gang hooks are cobia around the 4-6kg range. These fish are excellent fighters and big ones will live up to their name of black kingfish and head straight to the bottom. Other fish that head straight to the bottom are XL amberjack. These are often found wide of the Barwon Banks and Double Island. If you are looking for a workout then you best break out PE5-6 gear and run 80-100lb + leader. The beauty of these fish is they they will hit plastics, live baits and, of course, jigs. Come in and check out our range of jig specific gear for one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. From the surf we have seen good numbers of smaller whiting taking beach worm baits. There have been good numbers of worms showing up along the Sunshine Beach stretch. If you need help catching them be sure to come in and ask us how to do it. There have been a few trevally and flathead caught around the river mouth with the change in tide. Whiting have also featured inside the river with fish starting to get near the magic 40cm mark. Although hard to find, you can start around the Dog Beach and along Gympie Terrace. Using simple running sinker rigs works exceptionally well. Smaller shallow diving hardbodies also work well if kept on the move. The good news is that you can also pick up flathead, trevally and even bream using this method. It is recommended to use polaroid glasses to spot the schooling fish and flathead in the shallows so you can cast at them. Look at the many lures in the Berkley pro-tech range and grab some 6lb leader at the same time. Mangrove jacks and mud crabs have also been on the chew and having a few pots out in front of the many drains that can be found between the lakes could land you a nice surprise. This area is a great place to tangle with a jack, especially if you enjoy flicking lures. You can also try pitching live baits into the snags. This obviously requires you to have a cast net. If you need help throwing one, be sure to ask us, espe-

Geoff and Dan hooked and netted these two mangrove jacks at the same time during a night fish on the Noosa River. cially if picking one up for the first time. The dams are starting to clear up a little more following the previous week’s heavy rainfall. Many anglers have reported an early morning top water bite and a good edge bite in Lake Macdonald. Working surface lures away from the weed lines can be done with Atomic Bulldogs and Lucky Craft Sammy 65’s for big bass and maybe a saratoga. In the weed then the Zman Finesse Frogz are excellent when paired with a suitable finesse weedless hook.

Late starter Lane wins A day before the Noosa Legends Pro-Am last week Brisbane golfer Nigel Lane wasn’t even in the field – surprising, perhaps, because he was coming off a win in the previous Legends Tour event on Stradbroke Island. “I am very fortunate as I only received a late entry the day before the event,” said Lane, who spends most of his time these days coaching golfers at his academy near Brisbane airport. Even then, he was placed in the morning field, a time spot filled by professionals not really expected to contend. But Lane defied all of that dubious logic. He shot two-under-par 70 in warm, humid conditions on a course that had been drenched by recent heavy rain, and led the morning wave of players. A lack of breeze added to the discomfit of the 61 professionals in the field, and the tricky nature of the layout largely kept scoring in check. Though several players challenged in the late afternoon, nobody could better Lane’s 70. Two legends of the over-50s game – Yandina Creek’s Brad Burns and current Legends Tour Order of Merit leader Andre Stolz – came closest, equalling Lane’s score. Stolz, in particular, had his chance for victory. “I was five-under through nine holes and double bogeyed the last,” said a disappointed Stolz. Burns, a four-time Order of Merit winner, also faltered late with a bogey on the 18th hole. “I enjoy playing here as the people are friendly and the course is always in great condition, even more so this year,” said Burns. Stolz and Burns, coincidentally, were also joint winners last year, sharing the 2020 title with NSW visitor Peter Fowler. It was the second time this year Lane had made a last-minute decision to contest a Legends Tour event with pleasing results. He was a late entry, and lucky to get a start, in the Bribie Island Legends Pro-Am in July, before going on to post a three-under 69 and share victory with three others. Lane, Burns and Stolz, who each received about $2500 for their day’s work, finished a shot clear of evergreen Peter Senior and Sunshine Coast veterans Anthony Gilligan and Glenn Joyner. Also on one-under was Simon Tooman, a Noosa Golf Club member who is a regular contender in Legends Tour events. A shot further back was Noosa club professional Shane Healey, who rarely competes, but when he does, invariably plays well. Last year he finished fourth in the Noosa Legends Pro-Am, and placed in the top 10 again this year. Anthony Edwards, who spends most of

1-2 Hastings St Noosa Heads (Woods end) 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 December, 2021
Become a great putter TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER By far the easiest shot technically to produce in golf is the putting stroke. You don’t have to be a low handicap golfer to be a great putter. It’s the smallest stroke that requires the least amount of body movement. And that’s the way you should approach when practicing your putting. Parts of your body that should remain still throughout the stroke include your head, hips, legs and feet. Ideally only your shoulders, chest, arms and hands should move with the putter to create a consistent and economical putting stroke. There are several drills that can assist you in consolidating this with your stroke. Putt with the sun at your back and watch your shadow in front of you for any unnecessary body movement. Putt with your tailbone up against a wall to stabilise your hips and legs. Press a small cushion between your forehead and a wall to help maintain your head position. Avoid bringing tension into your stroke whilst trying to achieve this. Remember, good putting is often the result of simply minimising your mistakes by minimising your body movement. Good golfing. PETER HEINIGER, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs’ resident PGA teaching professional.
Sandie Tregaskis (centre) is congratulated by Noosa Springs’ staffers Suzie Smith and Warren Ellis. his time behind the counter of the Noosa pro shop, also did well, shooting one-over 73, former head pro Mark Tickle posted six-over 78, and Andrea Egea, the Wolston Park head pro who spent several years in the Noosa pro shop, scored 80. The Sunshine Coast swing of the Legends Tour ends on Friday with the 36-hole Sunshine Coast Masters at Twin Waters. Victoria’s challenge ends Former Peregian junior Victoria Fricot’s quest to gain entry to the Ladies’ European Tour came to an end on Sunday when she finished well back in the LET’s pre-qualifying school event at La Manga in Spain. Victoria, who is an ambassador for Noosa Springs, shot rounds of 83, 77, 79 and 78 in the event won by Sweden’s Lisa Pettersson. If you can’t beat ’em… Sandie Tregaskis was sitting on a Sydney beach, watching over her two sons, as her husband Andrew played a weekend round of golf, when a troubling thought occurred to her. Her kids would soon grow up and not require her supervision, and Andrew was unlikely to give up golf. How would she fill her spare time? It was then that Sandie decided to share her husband’s passion. She signed up for golf lessons and joined Sydney’s Pennant Hills Golf Club. “I hadn’t played at all before that,” Sandi said, “although I did come from a golfing family.” She quickly found she had a knack for the game and became the club’s B grade champion, playing off a 17 handicap. A decade or more ago, Andrew and Sandie Tregaskis moved to the Sunshine Coast, initially living at Maroochydore, then at Peregian Springs, before moving to Noosa. They joined Peregian, then transferred to Noosa Springs a few years ago when Peregian’s future looked doubtful. It was at Noosa Springs last Tuesday that Sandie had one of her finest moments on a golf course. Still rediscovering her game after a long, health-related break, Sandie scored 39 points to win the third and final leg of this year’s Ladies’ Open Day Series. She prevailed over more than 100 competi-
tors, declaring her victory to be ‘a great thrill’. “I feel that my best is still ahead of me, and I’m very excited about the future,” she said. Giblett turns in professional performance Brilliant Noosa golfer George Giblett shot an astonishing seven under par 65 at Maroochy River on Monday to show the veteran professionals in the Legends Pro-Am how the game is played. George, 20, the Noosa club champion, who played both days of the Maroochy River Legends Pro-Am as an amateur, posted 41 points – the best score of the day. Starting on the 12th hole with a birdie two, he scored eight birdies and a single bogey – on the par four third hole – in his remarkable round. He was six-under for the back nine. On Sunday, he posted a one-over 73 for 33 stableford points. Had he been playing as a professional – and, of course, been 30 years older – he’d have tied for first in the 36-hole pro-am, alongside Legends Tour Order of Merit leader Andre Stolz. Stolz scored 71 and 67 to beat his great rival Brad Burns (72, 68) by two strokes. Sunshine Coaster Glenn Joyner (72, 69) was a stroke further back, as were Darren Rix (74, 67), Peter Senior (70, 71) and Chris Taylor (70, 71). First steps for aspiring golfers A budding champion or two may be taking their first steps towards fame by attending a series of golf camps that began this week at Noosa Springs. The first of five weekly camps, under the supervision of teaching professional Greg Lynch, were held at Noosa Springs’ driving range. Further camps, designed for kids aged eight to 14, will continue on the weeks beginning December 27, January 3, January 10 and January 17. They cater for absolute beginners through to more experienced junior golfers wanting to improve all aspects of their game. The cost is $25 per day, or $110 for a fiveday camp. Bookings should be made by calling Greg Lynch on 0425 228 796 or email greg@ heinigergolf.com.au Noosa Springs is also hosting tennis camps, for kids aged five to 12, this week and for the weeks beginning January 3 and January 17. Glenn Irwin (0414 494 645) has the details.
Our juniors take on the best Noosa youngsters, Jaxon Smith and Nathan Jackson, and Noosa Springs’ Maddison Kelly are representing our region in the Greg Norman Junior Masters at the Palmer Gold Coast course this week.

For Richard Goldsworthy, music has been the constant source of inspiration and passion in his life since studying classical piano as a young child.
Sharing his gift of music In this topsy turvy world of uncertainty, there is one dependable element that brings us all peace, stillness, harmony, reflection, and joy. That element is a gift we give ourselves, and the gift we give to one other - music. For Richard Goldsworthy, music has been a constant source of inspiration and passion in his life since studying classical piano as a young child. As a highly regarded professional solo musician and recording artist, Richard has been a respected face at the Original Eumundi Markets for a very long time. As a solo musician he feels especially fortunate venues such as these famous markets enable him to connect and captivate a willing audience on a regular basis. Richards’ passion and his amazing talent now fully support the lifestyle he loves living and composing at his home of 16 years, Coolum Beach. Living at this idyllic beach, Richard feels he has found his destiny, falling more passionately in love with this beautiful location every day. “I aim to create easy listening, calming music that is also melodic with musical form and structure and most importantly is a listening experience,“ he said. “The ambient, solo piano compositions are used widely for relaxation, meditation, yoga, therapy, and healing ... but not just restricted to those modalities. For some people they sim-
ply seek to embrace the enchanting tones of the piano.” In his profession, Richard constantly meets people seeking calm and stillness in their life. His music not only taken them there, but it also keeps them there without too many notes or sounds to cloud the experience. “One particular defining moment in my life happened in 2005. I scored the dream job as a piano bar entertainer at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Osaka, Japan. Not only did I get to live, work, and eat in this very expensive five-star hotel; daily I was living and exploring this fascinating culture. The inspiration to create came very easily,“ he said. “I regularly take myself on writing retreats to different environments. Each album has been an individual journey, created in faraway places like Japan, Hawaii, and the Arizona Desert. But closer to home, the Hinterland mountains and cliffs overlooking the ocean are just as inspirational. When I place myself in retreat-mode, free from everyday distractions, the inspiration and music quickly come. I find it’s a matter of consciously creating that free space in your head for it to come into being,” Richard said. With the festive season lulling us all into a time of self-indulgence, gift giving and sharing, Richard Goldsworthy has two new musical projects ready for release onto the Christmas market.
The first, Christmas Stillness is a solo piano album featuring gentle, meditative versions of traditional Christmas music. It also includes three original tracks, including Lullaby for the Night Before Christmas. It’s a popular piece Richard wrote for all the children who find sleeping the last thing on their mind on Christmas Eve. The second release Kindred Resonance is a unique musical collaboration with his equally talented cousin, classical cellist Jane Tallon. Their album A Serene Christmas features traditional Christmas carols, gently re-imagined for piano and cello in an ambient, serene, and beautiful way. The Original Eumundi Markets hold a very special place in Richard’s heart. “I receive the most touching feedback from people who listen to my music at any time of the year and feel so privileged to create music that helps so many, including myself, through some personal challenges,“ Richard said. I remember one particular day a young girl picked up my sheet music book at my market stall. I instinctively began playing her a piece and she said she’d like to purchase it. Curious, I asked her how long she had been playing the piano. She told me it wasn’t for her; it was for her father. “She then went on to tell me, her dad had lost his music room and all his sheet music in the fires. She wanted to give him a gift to
get him started again. The piece I had played her was from my album The Quietening. The name of that particular piece – A New Beginning.“ Reflecting back, Richard Goldsworthy had no idea that the funny little pieces of solo piano music he had written in his spare time would end up becoming his full-time career, selling over 40,000 CDs and streaming more than 5 million times around the world through Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube. Thinking back, he said he’d still never know where he would be if he had not found the courage to go out and start playing to people, hoping they would hear what he heard in his music. With all of us looking for that joy and peace this Christmas, Richard Goldsworthy and Jane Tallon will be presenting a live musical performance on Friday 17 December at the Eumundi CWA Hall in conjunction with Eumundi’s Twilight Christmas Market. It’s that time again when gift giving, sharing, and embracing are guaranteed when combined with the wonderment and merriment that comes with a visit to the Original Eumundi Markets. Come join the Christmas cheer with your own visit each Wednesday and Saturday where you too can discover the story behind the stallholder. Friday, 17 December, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 43

Gold medal winning U18 girls team.
Noosa blitzes in water polo pool The inaugural 2021 Water Polo Queensland Junior Country Championships saw regional Queensland’s best athletes converge at St Andrew’s Aquatic Centre for a weekend of action packed water polo. Athletes and teams from the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Dalby, Rockhampton, Townsville, Mackay and Cairns made up the 27 teams who battled it out for the gold, silver and bronze in each division. Noosa fielded four teams with three teams coming away with gold in the 14U boys division, U18 girls division and U18 boys division. There were some tightly fought final games with both U18 teams beating Sunshine Coast
rivals Kawana in their respective finals. The boys’ final featured several Queensland players in both teams with an exceptionally high standard of water polo and was a close game with Noosa coming out narrow winners 8-7. Special mention must go to the U18 Boys B team who, in the absence of an U16 division, stepped up to play in the U18 division. The team was made up of 14 and 15 year olds who, despite staging an epic comeback, narrowly missed out on the bronze medal by one goal against an older and much bigger team from the Gold Coast. A handful of players were acknowledged at the conclusion of the tournament with James
Gardner (U14) and Lucy Wolfenden (U18) awarded as most valuable players in their divisions, and Tom Neal (U18) and Mia Freeman (U18) being awarded as most valuable goal keepers in their respective divisions. Acting club president Glenn Connors said the results were a testament to the commitment of his coaching team and the dedication and determination of the players and that he was excited for the season ahead that will see teams competing in Brisbane in April in the QLD Club Championships and Australian Youth Championships.

Seahorse celebrations on the beach By Ron Lane On Saturday December 18 one of the most important Christmas events of the season will take place on Noosa Main Beach when theNoosa Seahorse Nipper families assemble at 8am for their Christmas celebrations. With the purpose of helping children in need, this Seahorse Nipper gathering should be a great event. Once again under the control of Steve and Nikki Mawby by the founders of the Noosa Nippers, it’s all stations go. For Steve and Nikki to make this event a reality the last month has indeed been a tough one. “There has been a lot of problems, Covid-19, the schoolies, start of school holidays, and the Christmas season and, probably the biggest one of all, parking for the families. However, now all has been resolved and it’s now happening. First, we call on the families wishing to attend to ring the Noosa Club on 544 80 900 and register. Also the busses this time will leave from the 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 December, 2021
Seahorse nippers gain surf experience. Noosa Dolphins Rugby Grounds starting from approximately 7am and continuing on. As per usual, the busses will run back and forth (this time to the rugby field) at the close of the party.’’ Once again, the bus boys, Big Peter Williams, Ken Edwards and their support team, will be controlling the bus service and after years of experience, doing so will be a breeze. Also, the young patrolies from the senior club will be on hand to help with water safety and beach events. And dwelling amongst the crowd, Santa Claus will be sure to create a stir.
It is now 10 years since the Seahorse Nippers were started and despite the difficulties of forming a new organisation, it not only consolidated, but also had the happy problems of having to arrange accommodation and transport for visiting VIP surf club officials and occasional doctors and officials who came for an in-depth study as to the reasons why this new concept was now spreading interstate. Clubwise, the outstanding work and dedication of Steve and Nikki has earned them the undying respect of that hard core element of long serving members whose support will never waive,r regardless of who or what may create problems. These little Seahorse Nippers who are learning that they too can swim and run are considered by us to be the most important of all athletes within our community. We wish all involved the best Christmas ever and, above all, the very best to Steve and Nikki in the years ahead. And above all remember, we stand united.

Thunder bowlers on top By Randall Woodley “Taking five wickets in an innings is known as a five-for, fifer or five-fa. In the common tongue, especially in Australia, the five-wicket haul is termed as, Michelle. This is in honour of the famous actress, Michelle Pfeiffer”. Last weekend the senior Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket teams played the first day of their final two-day matches of the year. Two of the teams have already achieved first-innings points but the highlights of the day’s cricket were two outstanding bowling performances. Playing in second grade Harrison Lea took seven wickets for 17 off his 12 overs, while in first grade, ex-international bowler, Ben Laughlin snared six Coolum wickets for 33 off his marathon 18 overs. FIRST GRADE The team was away at Coolum and was asked to bowl first. They soon had the home team in trouble at 2 for 9, but their batsmen dug in and the next wicket did not fall until they were 60. From then on, Ben Laughlin showed his class and with swing and lift from the red ball, he routed the Coolum tail to take 6 for 33. He had finished their innings with three wickets in four balls and five of his wickets were either bowled or LBW. By stumps, the Thunder batsmen had accumulated 168 runs for the loss of five wickets and had taken the first innings points. Lewis Waugh scored 80, captain Jake Dennien 40 and a quick-fire 20 from Cody Pyne ensured the team finished the day in a strong position to take outright points next Saturday. SECOND GRADE Read Park saw the seconds taking on Coolum Sharks where they were asked to field first on their home wicket. The pitch had a bit in it and the Thunder bowlers started well, although they took nearly eight overs to get their length spot on. Harrison Lea then took three wickets in two overs, Ben Giddy bowled with little luck and Jason Toohey took a wicket in his first two overs. Ben Giddy took a great catch to remove their captain and Harrison came back on for his second spell to finish them off. Coolum stumbled to be all out for 53 (36 off the bat). Harrison finished with the great figures of 7 for 17 off his 12 overs whilst Toohey and Giddy shared the other wickets. Despite a few injuries to their opening batsmen, Thunder finished the day well ahead at 2 for 74, with their sights focussed on an outright win next weekend. FOURTH GRADE The boys were at Dale Officer Oval in a match against Coolum that was crucial to keeping their hope for finals alive. With a pitch that had essentially been a soft muddy mess earlier, the toss was won and they decided to bowl first. A tight opening spell from Luke Anstey and Mike Thomson did not allow many runs and with half chances to no avail, the Coolum bats plodded along. Anstey finally picked up the first wicket in the 25th over but from there the run rate lifted with the next wicket not falling until the 41st over to a great over the head, running back dive catch by Brendan Wright off Thomson. A couple more wickets, Connor Harrison’s first for the club and another to Thomson, saw Thunder back into the match but 60 runs off the last 12 overs and no wickets taken, left Coolum finishing the day at 5 -246. It will be mammoth task next weekend for the team if they are to bring home the final match of the year with a win. BEN LAUGHLIN (Courtesy of Cricket.com.au) On unassuming local cricket grounds along the Queensland Sunshine Coast, a bowler with a devastating yorker has been quietly plying his trade every Saturday since the start of September. That yorker, which has undone the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Shane Watson and AB de Villiers, has been no match for the batters turning out each weekend in the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association. With 36 wickets at an average of 7.14 from 15 games, this right-arm quick has barely conceded above 20 runs this year in any format and looks odds on to take out a league bowling award. It’s a far cry from the glitzy lights of the KFC BBL, but the competition’s highest ever wicket-taker tells cricket.com.au he is enjoying his cricket more than ever since the Covid-19 pandemic upended the world.

Picture: TAISHIDI PHOTOGRAPHY “It’s been highly enjoyable, it’s a bit more of an older man team, we’ve got a fair few plus30s, which makes it a lot more enjoyable,” Ben Laughlin says. He has already helped his club, Tewantin-Noosa Thunder, win both the association’s T20 and 50-over premierships this season. But what’s more remarkable is it could be the only cricket the star seamer plays this summer. Despite being keen to play on, the 39-yearold T20 veteran is without contract on the eve of BBL-11, and barring a call up as a replacement player, he looks set to spend this season watching on. During his 10 seasons in the competition, Laughlin claimed 111 wickets in 96 matches for the Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes, ahead of Sean Abbott on 106. Laughlin says he still loves the game and is enjoying playing with some new teammates. “I still really love the game, it’s just last year with all the Covid stuff was probably by far the most unenjoyable season I’ve ever had with everything going on,” he said. Despite seemingly not being able to go out on his own terms, the BBL’s most successful bowler says that doesn’t frustrate him. “But I think you just get to that point where the hunger dies a little bit and you’re just not as keen as you used to be. In saying that, I still enjoy playing and the rivalry, it’s just the amount of time that has to go into getting ready, I’m not missing all those hours.” The qualified carpenter says he has been spending his down time doing a few little ren-

“I decided this year I would play some games for them. My eldest is now five and a half and just loves cricket, so it’s nice to have him down and running around. He tossed the coin last week and he loved that.” Friday, 17 December, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 45

Welcome to hall of fame In her opening remarks Anne Steward, representative of the Sunshine Coast Hall of Fame said, “Greg Furner does the job that nobody wants to do. He sets up the fields, runs the entry gate (mostly on his own) on game day, helps set up and pack up, maintains the facilities: you name it and Greg does it.” Now, in acknowledgement of an incredible 32 years of continual service and loyalty in all aspects of club life, for this quiet achiever, Greg Furner, life member of Pirates Rugby League Club, comes the highest accolade of all - the Certificate of Merit for outstanding contribution to Sport on the Sunshine Coast and entrance into the Hall of Fame. For Greg Furner who has spent a lifetime working as a highly respected builder within our community, his commitment to the Pirates began in 1988 after playing junior football, and being an avid supporter for several years. On joining he immediately took a seat on the committee and now, 39 years on, still holds that seat. On looking back Greg remembers: “The years leading up to that time had been tough for the club. However, in 1989 a complete new committee had been formed and the fightback really started.” Despite the heavy work load that Greg and the new committee had undertaken, he still found time to fulfil other obligations to the community. This involved his work and responsibility as liaison officer to the Noosa Shire Council, representing the Noosa District Sports Complex Committee. Greg contributed 32 consecutive years to this position. His time with Pirates has seen Greg serve as treasurer for several years and (following his elevation to life membership), a member of the three-man life member sub committee. It is this committee that is responsible for the investigation of life membership nominations, a position that is held in high regard by all sporting organisations throughout Australia. Another of the many unsung jobs that no one wants, but has brought Greg public recognition and respect (for his many years) is that of gatekeeper on game days, many of which are conducted in pouring rain. As one can imagine in this time there have several highlights in which Greg was involved. “There was the building of the Pirates first club house in 2000, working as the club liaison officer for the massive refurbishment of the new lighting system for the entire facilities, and being instrumental in the Pirates obtaining the current scoreboard system,” Greg recalled. “But among the really big ones was back in 2000,when we obtained the honky tonk rodeo. This was to become a major step forward in our fundraising and went on to become an annual event. This was really good for three reasons: one was the fact that it became a great financial winner, the second was it gave us the opportunity to provide great family entertainment within our community, and last it was great PR for the Pirates club. “During the years leading up to the Covid-19 outbreak restrictions, we only lost one year of putting on the rodeo and that was owing to heavy rain. “Then on the football side of things came the project that made us one of the strongest clubs on the coast and that was, following some very tough and sometimes controversial discussions, the amalgamation of our two clubs. “Watching the juniors (from Cooroy) linking up with the seniors as one club was indeed very gratifying. Now we are totally united: working together, playing together and planning our future as one club. It is things like that makes it (doing all the unwanted jobs) worthwhile. Being involved as a committee man has given me something to be really proud of.” When it comes to finance, Greg remembers a 15-year period, ( prior to the rodeo) when, along with a couple of club mates, he spent time doing raffles at the Royal Mail Hotel in Tewantin. “This really started to fall apart,” said Greg 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 December, 2021
Pirates on the field.
Mark Furner addresses the Hall of Fame ceremony. with a laugh, “when the no smoking bBan came into vogue. This prohibited smoking at the bar, so all the boys kept drifting outside for a smoke, and this really threw a spanner in the works. It slowed us right down. We would walk through the bar with our raffle tickets but nearly all the drinkers were outside. “This, I thought, was becoming a bloody great waste of time. However, in recent times, the ladies’ football team has taken over the raffle duties as their contribution to the clubs finance and they have done a really good job.” Down through the years Greg acknowledges the great financial support of Pirates’ major sponsors, people like the Tewantin Noosa RSL, The Viller Noosa Hotel and Bob Borger of Veridian, just to name a few. “There have been many other smaller sponsors, just too many to mention, but we are very grateful and always will be and we will always remember who they are.” Speaking of the Pirates’ playing record, Greg has some incredible memories. “For us it all started back in 1977 when, under player/coach Mick Plant, the club won its first ever A grade premiership, and for us, at this time and place, it was a really big thing. There have over the years been other wins through all grades, the junior divisions and re-

serves. But the proudest time of all was, when under player/coach Noel Goldthorpe, we achieved the impossible - winning three consecutive premierships,2006, 2007 and 2008. For me it was our proudest achievement ever.” Another factor that has been very satisfying for Greg as a committee man, has been watching juniors come up through the ranks and the two he will always remember, Moses Mbye and Jake Friend. Both went on to play NRL in Sydney -with Mbye also playing State of Origin for Queensland. When he speaks of watching the young come up through the ranks, nothing gives him greater pleasure than watching his teenage daughter Stella, play netball. “I have helped the netball club with several jobs throughout the years so it’s a bit of a double header, helping the club while watching my daughter grow up to be fine young lady. All very satifying.” One thing that Greg emphasises is that down through the years the high calibre and loyalty of people who have worked for the club has been second to none. “When you work with good people, nothing is impossible and it also makes the workload so much easier. People like the Christensen family. Their contribution to the club has been nothing short of incredible. Other people such
as John Pulham, Grant Mould, Chris and Sue O’ Grady, Clare Robinson, Peter McGregor, Bob Borger, Brett Winkler and councillor Joe Jurisevic, to name just a few of the many who worked through the years. We owe them a big vote of thanks.” While discussing the golden years of three premierships in a row with Pirates, Greg said, “I have another three in a row away from football. That was in my late teenage years when I was a member of three different cricket A grade sides, Nambour1, Nambour 2 and Tewantin. Believe it or not, I was a member of each team when they won the premership. Three different teams, three years in a row. On remembering those three games, all those years ago, I still get a kick out of it, but I guess that’s life. “One thing I feel I must do is to say thank you to all the well-wishers who have phoned me to say well done. The number has really amazed me.” This tells us that here is a man to whom personal satisfaction is more important than public acclaim. His admission into the Hall of Fame for his outstanding contribution to sport on the Sunshine Coast is, without a doubt, well and truly justified. Proud to say, he is one of our people.

Mono is para surf’s GOAT When it comes to para surfing, there is only one person who can be given the title GOAT (greatest of all time), and that’s my mate Mark Mono Stewart. Mono, who doesn’t get much change out of 60 and has been an amputee since his teens, wrapped up his third ISA World Para Championship title in the freezing cold waters of Pismo Beach in Central California last weekend, spearheading the best ever Australian team performance which saw the Irukandjis take out their first para team gold. The Byron Bay powerhouse dominated the kneel division from the first heat, pulling off his usual hard rail stump pad turns in mostly clean conditions, but the other Aussies had more of a fight on their hands. Australia’s Sarah Jane Gibson put in a strong challenge for the world title in the VI visually impaired division at her first attempt, finishing a close second. Losing most of her vision through diabetes at the age of 10, Sarah began surfing late in life. She told reporters at the event: “I didn’t start surfing until I retired, which was in 2016, and a year after that I broke my hip. So I didn’t get much of a good start.” Her journey to the final of her first ISA World Para Surfing Championship has exceeded her expectations. “It’s so supportive, everyone’s just unreal, really friendly, really inclusive. I love it, it’s really cool.” Other Australians to make the finals were Kirk Watson and Matt Farnston, both in the VI divisions. Class of 2022 Four Aussie men and one woman will join the World Surf League as rookies for the 2022 season which opens at Pipeline in Hawaii next month. In the men, it’s a mixed bag of the old and the new, with Cronulla’s Connor O’Leary (now based at Lennox Head) making a welcome return to the league he left in 2018, following a late charge up the ranks in the Challenger Series events. The big, powerful goofy-footer will join true rookies Liam O’Brien from Burleigh Heads, Callum Robson from Evans Head and Newcastle’s Jackson Baker. Overall, as Swellnet observed recently, the men’s will see the year of the dark horse, with nine of the 12 who made the cut never having previously surfed in a WCT event. In the women’s division, only Torquay’s India Robinson represents Australia in the final six cut, after Molly Picklum missed out on a countback. Here is the full list of championship tour qualifiers: Men: Ezekiel Lau (HAW), Jake Marshall (USA), Imaikalani deVault (HAW), Nat Young (USA), Connor O’Leary (AUS), Liam O’Brien, (AUS), Callum Robson (AUS), Lucca Mesinas (PER), Joao Chianca (BRA), Jackson Baker (AUS), Carlos Munoz (CRI), Samuel Pupo (BRA). Women: Gabriela Bryan (HAW), Brisa Hennessy (CRI), Caitlin Simmers (USA), India Robinson (AUS), Bettylou Sakura Johnson (HAW), Luana Silva (HAW). Overall, this new class of rookie women will bring a huge generational shift to the tour. At 22, Costa Rica’s Brisa Hennessy is the oldest in the class. Robinson is 21. But the others are all teenagers, with both Sakura Johnson and Simmers only 16. Miki’s socks depart the drawer It’s funny how random bits of ephemera can define a surfing life. Like last week up at Agnes when I pulled on a pair of socks to hike the Red Rock track and pushed my big toe right through the thin membrane of Miki Dora’s last pair of socks. Gone, the end of an era. Twenty years ago this month, over coffee at the bar tabac below our apartments in the old seaside village of Guethary in the French Basque country, we said a final goodbye to our friend, the legendary Black Prince of Malibu, Miklos Chapin Dora.

A courageous second place at her first attempt for Sarah Jane Gibson. Picture: ISA Noosa for the holidays, Miki was going home to his father’s home in Montecito, California, to die, which he did, from cancer, little more than a month later. When we returned to Guethary in late January, Harry Hodge, my boss at Quiksilver Europe and the executor of Miki’s will, gave my wife and I the task of packing up Miki’s belongings to send back to his father. Harry envisaged this would take a couple of hours, simply throwing all Miki’s weird bits and pieces in the rubbish, dividing all the unused clothing provided by his sponsor between his friends and putting anything worth keeping for sentimental reasons in a box for Miklos Sr. I knew better. In the course of helping him handle media requests in his final years, I’d had glimpses of the treasures he kept under the bed in his small flat – stuff like uncashed royalty cheques from the Screen Actors Guild for his bit parts in the beach movies of the 1960s, and the many documents carefully burnt around the edges, said by Miki to have been saved from the house fire in Jeffrey’s Bay that claimed his dog, Scooterboy. And so much more from a life lived on the wild side. Finally, we got to the clothes drawers. Packed with Quiksilver goodies. After giving away the golf gloves and the tee shirts and shorts that were far too big for me, I ended up with about 20 pairs of sports socks, which I’ve been working my way through at about a pair a year. Until last week. Now all I have of Miki is a few group photos where he’s trying to dodge the camera, the program for the memorial service we gave him on the cliff above the surf break in the spring, and a chest full of incredible memories. You couldn’t always love him, but you could never forget him.

LAND AHOY ... BUT WHERE? PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY WITH few vacant sites remaining, land has become the golden commodity this year. Tom Offermann Real Estate handled the sale of 2 David Low Way at Castaways Beach, a beachfront parcel selling for circa $20m post auction. The next highest was a 600sq m riverfront allotment on Noosa Sound which sold for $13m. Last weekend, Pandanus Grove, Noosaville, was under the spotlight with the Richard Locke-listed 10 Ely St attracting a crowd of 50, many with their fingers crossed. It was sold under the hammer for $1.475m to a local business couple. “This is the most desirable block we’ve offered since Tom Offermann Real Estate commenced the marketing campaign for this exciting estate,” Richard said. “It is 700sq m block, adjoining a park and has a northerly aspect. “There are about 10 new homes being Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

Two two-bedroom, two-bathroom, plus two one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments at 14 Howard St, Noosaville, are set for auction today, Friday, at 11am. 261452 built in the next 12 months and more on the horizon.” Contact Richard Locke to register future interest. Nearby Northrise Estate which abuts Noosa Waters, at the Tracy Russell-listed 5 Granite Ct, Noosaville, 20 locals sheltered from the hot sun under a pandanus, many dreaming of building their dream home on the site, and still are with negotiations proceeding post auction. A sparkling new beach house indulgence at 5 Maher Tce, Sunshine Beach, listed by Nic Hunter and Mick McComas, attracted exciting bidding action from the registered four until it was passed in at $5.75m. A result is expected in the short term. At the Nic Hunter and Eric Seetoo-listed 1 & 2/31 Orient Dve, Sunrise Beach, negotiations are continuing post auction with several parties interested in the exceptional investment opportunity. The weekend finished on a big high with the auction of apartment two at Offshore Noosa, 287 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, listed by Chris Miller and Tim McSweeney. Bidding was among four registered parties, with a local the successful purchaser very excited to have secured
a riverside investment in such a soughtafter complex. The sale price of $1.445m represents a record sale price for Offshore Noosa Resort. Sold well ahead of this weekend’s scheduled auction were the Tiffany Wilsonlisted 4/2 Barbados Cres, Noosaville, as well as Cameron Urquhart’s magnificent residence at 512 The Ridge, 61 Noosa Springs Dve, Noosa Heads. STRONG WEEK OF AUCTIONS In all my years of property writing I cannot remember a week in which auctions have run so deep into December. There is a strong line-up this week with two last-minute auctions to be called at 3pm and 5pm Thursday, December 23 - a day before Christmas Eve. A one-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment at 9/13 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, goes to the market at 3pm with Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate. Then at 5pm Peter will put 6 White Beech Rd, Noosa Heads, up for offer. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool in Elysium estate is on 707sq m. “Interest is really good on both properties,’’ Peter said. “There have been local and interstate inquiries. “We specifically held the auctions on Thursday as people would have been Christmas Eve by last-minute things to do.’’ The one-bedroom apartment in Caribbean Resort is a beautiful renovation, Peter said, with the resort offering a sand beach as well as jetty. “It’s a good opportunity for entry-level buying so close to Hastings St.’’ LOCATION AN ATTRACTION Select Noosa’s Greg Smith had nine registered bidders for the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 5 Creek Rd, Noosaville, on Saturday, mainly locals and from Brisbane. A start of $1m saw bidding move on to $1.4m where it was announced on the market. That brought another wave of bids before it sold at $1.5m to a local who had already sold and will be an owner-occupier. Their intention is to renovate and take advantage of the location,’’ Greg said.
“Creek Rd is a hidden gem - private, quiet, with more and more families moving in. “Five or six properties have sold along there recently.’’ MIDWEEK SUCCESS CONTINUES Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano at Hinternoosa continued their success at midweek auctions, with both properties offered selling under the hammer. On Wednesday, December 8, the threebedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 0.52ha at 12-14 Capricorn Ct, Eumundi, attracted four registered bidders, all local and Sunshine Coast. All participated in the bidding that started with a bang at $1.25m. That saw spirited bidding to $1.525m when it came down to a battle between two. It was put on the market at $1.55m and that’s when it took off again. “The property was sold at $1.680m to a bidder playing a long game,’’ Jeanette said, “… waiting to hear that it was on the market. “That’s when the game was on. “The buyers liked the position - they have lived in the area so they know it. “They understand the growth in the whole area.’’ Set well back from the road, the singlelevel home has been tightly held for the past 19 years. On Thursday Jeanette and Mario took 39 Lake Ridge Ct, Lake Macdonald, to the market. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 0.99ha had people waiting who could not bid under auction conditions. It was sold under the hammer for $1.5m to buyers who had already sold their own property and were renting. “They had been missing out on a few properties,’’ Jeanette said. “They loved the views, and the home … and will probably do renovations for the extended family. “It’s got everything they could need.’’ Situated to the east of Cooroy, the spacious home on town water acres features panoramic views to the north over the Noosa hinterland.

HOME FOCUS
COOL LUXE DESIGNER RESIDENCE ADMIRE the streetscape and birdattracting sub-tropical shrubs in the front garden, noting how they both complement the exclusive estate’s strong connection to the lake and park surrounds. Open the custom white timber with glass panelled front door of the cool luxe designer residence. Inside is infused with freshness, warmth and it has a monochromatic palette. The open plan, high-ceilinged overgenerous living/dining spaces with banks of windows, plantation shutters and glass sliders, maximise natural light, which seemingly dances across endless supersized muted grey floor tiles, in ’celebration’ of a contemporary lifestyle. Be instantly impressed as indoors coalesces with outdoors thanks to the ’disappearing’ doors revealing a lush lawn and a wide green backdrop to the fence line, fringed by sub-tropical dracaenas and brilliant orange/red heliconias. Taking centre stage and optimising the northerly aspect is an undercover terrace which stretches in an abundant fashion to incorporate a dazzling pool. Easy living is high on the agenda as fun with family and friends underpins a relaxed mood synonymous of every day’s a holiday. Design functionality is very evident in the kitchen with its stone-topped island bench, latest appliances, multi-burner gas cooktop, lustre-tiled splashback, white 2-pac cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry indicating storage is plentiful. In the north wing and accessing outdoors is the master ensuite with plantation shutters of two walls, and a walk-in robe. The grey-tiled ensuite has a double vanity, glass doors on the shower and the toilet, also a big white oval tub especially if you love bubble baths. Nearby is a media room with block-out blinds, also a laundry with heaps of storage and a drying court. In the east wing is every teen and tween’s dream – a retreat with a hang-out zone, three carpeted double bedrooms with built-in robes, shutters, a family-size bathroom with a sky light, plus a powder room. There is lots to love about living here, especially for families. A park is nearby, there are cycle and walking tracks around the estate, along Lake Weyba, through part of the Noosa National Park with its plethora of flora and fauna, and it’s just a 10-minute cycle to the Noosa Civic and Noosa Farmers’ Market. “Nearby is a championship golf course and clubhouse,“ says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata, who is taking the residence to auction on Thursday 23 December 2021, “plus those with a penchant for more serious exercise will
hot-foot it to the resident’s only private recreational facility. It has two tennis courts, two solar-heated swimming pools, a gym and changing rooms. “Adding to the cache of a Noosa Heads postcode, is its proximity to Noosa’s Main Beach, the boardwalk to the Noosa National Park and world-famous surfing reserve, Hastings Street’s boutiques and restaurants, Gympie Terrace plus several shopping centres.

ON THE COVER
5-STAR HILTON PARK RIVERFRONT APARTMENT DISCOVER the epitome of riverside sophistication with a lavish 5-star apartment, dazzling water views optimising the perfect northerly aspect, and an expressive Frank Macchia design juxtaposing the spirit of indoor-outdoor spaces for all seasons, with the energy of a remarkable setting. Open the bespoke statement door and all becomes obvious. The apartment indulges definitive avant-garde flair, and with gallery-like walls adorned with collectibles and massive mirrors, this is hallway heaven. Lofty ceiling heights and the extensive use of glass via floorto-ceiling panes, banks of louvres and disappearing doors, maximise natural light which seemingly shadow dances on endless white terrazzo flooring. Designer leather sofas, ottomans and timber tables in the exhilarating living and dining areas, are in-vogue with the fresh monochromatic palette and pops of colourful artworks. Both spaces have wispy white sheers and open to the undercover terrace with its seamless connection to the luminous blue-green of the Noosa River. It’s a mesmerising scene with bobbing leisure craft, the picturesque Noosa North Shore ahead and the water’s edge below with its bright red Poinciana, white-sand foreshore, enormous pool, long jetty, and a mooring assigned to each apartment. The luxe kitchen with simple lines albeit a curvaceous custom-made Coriantopped island/breakfast bar, caramel-hued cabinetry, and high-end appliances, is the full complement. When it comes to dreamtime, there are three bedrooms beautifully decorated in muted greys and pale yellow.
