School year begins School returned for all students across Noosa this week after an extended holiday due to Covid. On Monday Noosa Today spoke to some students and parents and almost all expressed their excitement to be back. For some it was the first time, others were happy to see friends again and some had moved to

the area from southern states and faced some changes to their former routines. At Sunshine Beach State School parents and some students were wearing masks and none Noosa Today spoke to voiced concerns about Covid. More pictures on page 2

Revved up on river By Phil Jarratt

North Shore resident and Noosa River veteran Nick Hluszko is putting his considerable influence as chair of the Noosa River Stakeholders Advisory Subcommittee into a campaign to reduce the speed limit on the river to six knots, no wash year-round. And it is by no means a one-man stand. Currently a six knot limit applies to the river downstream from T-Boats only through December and January and over Easter, but the speed limit reduction was part of a raft

of recommendations presented by NRSAC to Maritime Safety Queensland last September, including introduction of a four knot limit around the narrow canals of Noosa Sound. MSQ has since completed its own review of safety and compliance issues on the river, and is understood to also favour a speed limit reduction. Its findings and a call for community consultation are expected by the end of this month. Meanwhile, a hectic holiday season and increased patrols by MSQ and Water Police have produced statistics that seem to support the calls for lower speed limits.

Noosa Today understands that over 13 days between 3 December and 18 January MSQ intercepted 125 vessels for compliance checks. Of these, 34 drivers were juveniles. A total of 15 infringement notices were issued with the vast majority being for speeding. Water Police patrolled eight days between 6 December and 2 January and issued 48 infringement notices, 29 (60 per cent) for speeding. Nick cites South East Queensland’s phenomenal growth spurt outside of Noosa as a major reason to act now. “SEQ’s current population is about 3.3 million, representing 66 per

cent of the state’s population in just 1.3 per cent of its area. With the state population expected to grow from 5 million to 7.16 million over the next 20 years, it’s logical to expect that we will cop the lion’s share of that, with a population of over 500,000 on the Sunshine Coast alone. Then consider the boating population. There are currently 250,000 recreational boats in Queensland, most of them in SEQ, with annual growth in boat sales between 13 and 15 per cent. The pressure on our waterway is going to be immense.” Continued page 3

There are only four years to 2026 and Noosa Council’s deadline arrives for zero emissions. Council’s carbon reduction project officer Annie Nolan has to be applauded for her Herculean efforts to initiate wideranging changes to reduce emissions including the adoption of solar power on Council facilities and electric cars. In the past year Council produced 51,000 tonnes of CO2, according to the 2020/21 ZEN report revealed at Monday’s meeting, an increase of two per cent on the previous year - attributed to reduced electricity use during Covid closures in 2019/20 . What does that much CO2 look like? Imagine 51,000 hot air balloons or 25 million CO2 fire extinguishers. The real sticking point for Council is landfill which is responsible for more than 60 per cent of emissions. Last year the amount of waste taken to landfill increased by eight per cent. In its latest project Council will calculate the carbon sequestered by bushcare and bush restoration projects which loosely refers to placing a monetary value on the carbon captured by trees. Eventually Council will reach an “emissions floor” where emissions cannot be reduced further and offsets will have to be purchased to reach zero emissions. Cr Tom Wegener revealed the cost of offsets this week. With Australian carbon credit units costing $26-$50 per ton Council is looking at paying about $1m in offsets from 2026. The message - reduce your waste.

Lucky save By Margie Maccoll The keen eye and quick action of Noosa lifesaver Jesse Lloyd Stewart led to the rescue of a 50-year-old man on Monday morning after he fell between rocks at the water edge with the tide coming in. Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club president Ross Fisher said a group of about 15 master surf group lifesavers had headed out for their usual early Monday morning paddle on surfboards about 6am. The group varies their routes but by chance this Monday they headed toward the National Park. Ross said as they surfed near the rocks past Little Cove Jesse glimpsed the man at the waterline. Jesse said he was hard to spot. She paddled over to him to check he was OK. “He must have been sitting on the rocks and slipped over. He was slipping backwards and forwards between rocks. The waves were coming over him,” she said. Jesse said the man named Steve was “look-

ing pretty bad when she got there”. “I was trying to check he was OK. He was semi-conscious, semi-responsive,” she said. “She was holding him above the water while getting bashed by waves,” Ross said. “He was in and out of consciousness and slipping into the surf.” Club member Patrick Lynch arrived soon after to assist before more of the surfing group were were able to paddle over to help. Jesse said the group moved the man further up on the rocks and people on the boardwalk phoned emergency services. She said Queensland Ambulance Service officers arrived as did QFES officers who brought a stretcher down. About 10 people carried the larger man over the rocks on the stretcher, she said. “It was so awkward to get him out of there,” Ross said. “Hopefully he makes a good and speedy recovery,” Jesse said. “I’m glad I was there. I’m a lifeguard. I’m happy I could have helped.” “As a surf club we’re very proud of what we did. It was fortuitous he was seen,” he said.

Close to the limit: The river – park or speedway? From page 1 The river committee’s recommendations cover many associated problems, such as the number of live-aboards who aren’t complying with permit registration or pump-out requirements, but Nick’s current focus is on the speed limit, and he takes it personally. He says: “When the NRSAC met late last year we asked for more patrols over the holidays to increase compliance with speed limits, and we got them. The vast majority of infringements were speed-related and almost all were locals. I was having lunch with my wife at Ricky’s last Sunday afternoon and three tinnies came roaring up from Hastings Street doing wake crossings with each other, all young kids. I grew up on the river and if I did the wrong thing and my old man heard about it I was in big trouble. Parents need to take responsibility for this. People on both sides of the river have had enough.” Nick knows there will be obstacles but he believes the NRSAC can carry the community with it. “From what I see on social media the majority of people would support the changes we’re suggesting. There have been several ad hoc studies looking at peak and off-peak times and the absolute speeds on the river, and during peaks the vast majority of all craft using the river is doing six knots or less already. It could be as high as 70 per cent. So we’re talking about adding a travel time penalty to a minority only. “Of course there will be people who will oppose it. On the North Shore I’ve heard the argument that people use their boats to get to Hastings Street and they want to get there quickly. My answer to that is why is it so important to get to your beer date 10 minutes

faster when we’re talking about safety and ambience and all those values that we associate with the river? We don’t want it to take some one really getting hurt before it’s recognized as a big problem. The more involved I get in river issues the more I ponder the problem of what we think the river is for. Is it a means of getting around the place, or is it a park, a recreational facility? I take the view that it’s a park.” But getting a reduced speed limit gazetted is a long process, for which Nick has a plan.

He says: “Normally legislative change takes at least 12 to 18 months, so what needs to happen next is that MSQ and our politicians reassure the broader community that we are working towards making this happen. The worst thing would be that it gets buried in the bureaucracy and people think that it’s been forgotten. A lot of people have already worked very hard to make this positive change become a reality. “My passion is to keep it on everyone’s radar until we get there.”

Hospital on the storm front By Margie Maccoll Torrential rain from a fierce electric storm on Wednesday 2 February caused water to pour into Eden Private Hospital at Cooroy, flooding both floors and leading to the hospital’s evacuation. SES Noosa local controller Warren Kuskopf said their volunteers raced to the hospital about 6pm to assist but with the roof seemingly intact were unable to work out what was causing the water to pour in. “Water was coming from the roof somewhere. The amount of water was phenomenal,” he said. Mr Kuskopf praised hospital staff for their quick response to the storm. He said staff moved patients to one end of the building then called in ambulances and buses to evacuate them. “It was an amazing operation how quickly they got the people out of there,” he said. Eden Private Hospital CEO Ashley Baker said the cameraderie and support the staff have for each other showed in the way they worked together to care for their patients. There were 31 patients at the hospital at the time. QAS transported 17 patients from the private hospital to nearby facilities after the building was deemed structurally unsafe and the rest were taken home by bus or car. QAS incident controller Tony Hucker said three ambulance units arrived at the facility about 5.30pm and worked till about 1am transferring patients from the facility. “There was water everywhere on the floor. You could see it coming through the ceilings,” he said. He said four patients were taken by QAS to Noosa Hospital, six to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, two to Buderim Private Hospital and four to Nambour hospital. The hospital had its own bus and cars and moved patients as well.

QAS incident controller Tony Hucker. “Eden staff did a wonderful job. It was a good liaison between the services. It was good patient transfer. No one was hurt or injured,” he said. Mr Hucker said the patients had been at the hospital for recovery, mental health and rehabilitation, with none in an acute phase of illness and none with Covid. Some with mobility issues needed to be stretchered from the hospital. “The patients were fine. They were all in great spirits,” he said.

An Eden Private Hospital spokeswoman said the weather event caused water inundation to some parts of the hospital. “In accordance with its hospital emergency response plan, Eden Private Hospital management acted swiftly to assess the situation and mitigate any risk, working in partnership with other services including the Queensland Health Service and Queensland Ambulance Service to safely transfer all patients to alternate nearby hospitals,” she said. “Management is actively working to rectify damage caused by the supercell and expects

the hospital to reopen and resume operations this week. Eden Private Hospital will continue to work with public and private healthcare providers, for the transfer of patients back to Eden Private once repairs to areas impacted are assessed and repairs are complete. The safety and care of all patients is paramount, and has not been compromised.” Cooroy recorded more than 110mm of rain on Wednesday evening in a supercell that the Bureau of Meteorology reported causing severe thunderstorms, heavy rain and power outages to more than 11,000 homes overnight.

Count down for the rare By Margie Maccoll Glossy Black Cockatoo (GBC) nesting sites in Noosa Shire are to be identified using specially designed acoustic software in a new research project undertaken by Bushland Conservation Management in partnership with The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF). The project will use visual and bioacoustics monitoring to record and analyse data on bird movements as they prepare for the breeding season that occurs from March to September. Kim Morris of Bushland Conservation Management said there were three subspecies of glossy black cockatoos - one on Kangaroo Island, a southern species and one in South East Queensland - Calyptorhynchus Latham Latham. The subspecies is considered vulnerable and a third of the entire bird population have been identified in the Noosa Shire, most notably Sunrise Beach, she said. Kim said while bioacoustics technology had been around for a while, this research, to be conducted by a team of four including her husband Joel, will use specific recogniser software developed by Dr Daniella Teixeira from University of Sunshine Coast that can “pick out the glossy call”. “We’ve been following the birds since 2019 through word of mouth, data online and our own observations working in bushland conservation areas,” she said. “The sound recogniser software was successfully used on Kangaroo Island. Being able to use Dr Teixeira’s software here in Noosa will ensure the accuracy of this data.” Kim said the glossies were known to visit Sunrise Beach, Weyba Downs, Cooroibah, Cooloola, the hinterland in Kenilworth area and go out west as far as Toowoomba and Charleville. “They follow the seed source. They do appear to be breeding on the coast as there are sightings of juveniles with parents every year,” she said. “The breeding season is one of the key challenges for the birds. They’re a large bird that struggles to find hollows to breed. Land clear-

Research has shown males will travel up to 12 km to collect food and only 1.5km to carry water for the female during this time. “It makes it extra hard for them with being so fussy with their feed trees,” she said. “A lot of people think they’re just birds, they’ll just sort themselves out. They’re very specialised and loyal to their habitat. They pick out the feed trees. Perhaps they have a higher nutritional value (there’s research being done on this).

They will visit them year after year. They will bring their young to the site and teach them where the feed trees are.” Kim said the birds breeding season coincided with the months during which the seed on their feed trees are ripe and most plentiful, particularly from March to June. She said the 2019 bushfires had a “massive impact” on the glossies feed trees and they were continuing to feel the effects. “38 per cent of GBC habitat range was impacted by bushfires. There were some hot burns and not a lot of recovery. In other areas trees are coming back but not the seeds. It may be another five years before they return,”

she said. Feed trees and tree hollows were destroyed at both Cooroibah and Peregian during the bushfires. The Glossy Black Conservancy, an independent conservation and research association, conduct a GBC bird count each year. “Last year they found there were 164 GBC (subspecies) in total, 86 per cent of GBC were seen in Noosa, South East Queensland and the Gold Coast. The count found one third of all GBC were seen in the Noosa Shire and 88 per cent of those were at one site, the Sunrise site. “I do feel with the effects of bushfires still being felt in the region it’s such an important parcel of land. It’s definitely going to have a big impact losing a land parcel like this at the start of the breeding season.” Kim said a group of scientists had submitted documentation to have the subspecies listed on the Environmental Protection Biodiversity Act 1999 which would provide increased protection for its habitat but it was still in the process. NBRF director Jady Smith said this innovative research was critical to conserving the GBC and followed an NBRF-hosted GBC forum last November where current knowledge and management gaps were discussed. “There are currently no known recorded nesting sites in the region,” Kim said. “Thanks to citizen science observations by passionate community members, we do know glossies are breeding. “This project will supply real data that hasn’t been achieved before in this region.” Monitoring began in January and will continue to June. The NBRF aims for the data gained from the research to inform future conservation management decisions for local GBC populations. Locals can assist the project by registering GBC sightings at different times by emailing info@bushlandconservation.com.au For more information, visit the Glossy Black-Cockatoo Bioacoustics Monitoring project page.

Sandy has skin in the game North Shore in crisis, part 4, by Phil Jarratt On a hot and humid Sunday afternoon when everyone else in Noosa is relaxing, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton pads around her funky repurposed riverside home with a strap purse dangling from her neck as she prepares hors d’oeuvres. In it, of course, the phone that never leaves her, not since her election as councillor in the 2014 de-amalgamated Noosa Council, nor since her election as the independent Member for Noosa in the 2017 state election. She knows that the key to delivering as an independent is to be the genuine voice of the people, and that means being available to listen, and then act, at all times. But on this balmy afternoon it’s a reporter who is doing the listening at the home she shares with partner former lawn bowls champion Ian “Shoey” Schuback and assorted rescued dogs, cats and kangaroos, the location underlining the fact that when it comes to the issues facing the Noosa North Shore, Teewah and Cooloola, Sandy Bolton has serious skin in the game. Not only has she sat, in her role as MP, on the Teewah Cooloola Working Group, formed to identify issues and make recommendations to address them for a sustainable future, since its inception, but since becoming a resident and moving reluctantly to “the other side” – “I fell in love with the feel of the place and its sense of peace,” she says, “so you put up with the access issues and the mozzies” she is acutely aware of the widely-felt concerns for the state of the amenity and the need to retain its unique qualities, the additional health, safety and traffic impacts that have increased since Covid, and that includes the ferry issue. Sipping on a weak spritzer (90/10 in favour of the soda) she says: “Over the years there has been a lot of talk about possible solutions, such as a slip lane for residents and for essential services like carers for the elderly, pump-out trucks and so on. But you have to look at the

Are we trying to reduce the number of people crossing the river through permit reductions to alleviate the impacts and lines, or are we looking at it more broadly? There has to be a solution that works for all of our community, as well as visitors. “The impact goes beyond just the North Shore. You’ve got Moorindil Street with residents unable to access their homes because of ferry queues to Poinciana Ave. When I’ve had to queue for two hours to get home I’ve realized I have to get a little tinnie! It made me think about situations of fire or flood. North Shore residents and visitors have to have a plan for both, and in an emergency it can’t include waiting in line for the ferry. Peak times used to be predictable according to season and tide, but Covid has changed that, with so many more people working from home who might

The recommendation of using permit reduction to iron out the peaks in demand needs to be thought through very carefully.” Back in her office a few days later, Sandy pulls out a huge stack of manila folders and drops it on her desk. She says: “This is all the work in relation to Cooloola Recreation Area, going back to the first advocacy we did in 2018. These are the office records on Cooloola, including the work of the Teewah Cooloola Working Group and where they got to. In 2019 the group presented to [then] Environment Minister Enoch a number of recommendations largely based around management of numbers in the park. [The Group also made recommendations to Noosa Shire and Gympie Regional councils.] Many of these have been implemented, however progress has been

The recreation area was more or less paying for itself – the revenue from permits covering the on-site management – so the recommendation included increased permit fees. In short, whatever percentage you reduced the numbers by, you’d have to increase the permit costs by the same. “This area is the only one of its type in Queensland that still issues day permits, and it also has no limit on day tripper numbers. In the period since our recommendations camper numbers have been reduced to enhance both the resident and visitor experience and safety, but there’s still a lot of work to be done on the overall numbers.”

Unfortunately the Teewah Cooloola Working Group appears to be in hiatus. Sandy Bolton insists that it’s not dead, it’s just having a rest, but the facts are that the group, instigated in September 2018 by then Noosa mayor Tony Wellington and including representatives of both Noosa and Gympie councils, MPs for Noosa and Gympie, plus broad community representation, met nine times over 18 months while Wellington was mayor, the last of them in March, 2020. Since the 2020 local government elections, the group has met once in 22 months (in April 2021). Of course, Covid lockdowns have played their part, but it’s also become apparent that there is waning interest from Gympie council and local MP Tony Perrett, although splinter groups like Keep Cooloola Cool have emerged to push for environmental protections. TCWG was by no means the first working group formed to protect the North Shore and Cooloola, but it was the one that showed the most potential for success in overcoming regional differences and bringing the tribes together with a plan. Sandy Bolton still believes TCWG can play that role. “When the Working Group has its first meeting for the year we need to focus on outcomes from the work that’s already been done, but we also need to look at Native Title and the other issues that have become part of this. We need to incorporate all of these elements and develop a holistic picture. “We need to look at the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) numbers, work out the patterns and whether reducing permits by 20 percent will be enough to successfully manage the peaks. But that doesn’t address the cohort who are determined to spoil the Teewah/Cooloola experience for everyone and for whom a fine of $500 isn’t going to work. And we have to solve this in order to foster the next generation of Noosa residents who want to enjoy and protect that experience, and that experience doesn’t include hooning and creating fear.” Asked to prioritize an action plan for the North Shore, Sandy says: “I can’t place them in order of importance, because they are all equally important, but these are the key issues that must be actioned. We have to take

control of visitor numbers through peak time reductions of permits. We have to develop an integrated system between Queensland Police Service and QPWS so we can identify repeat offenders and keep them out, and we need to monitor the results and the community impact of any changes that are made. In addition, the outcomes from the recent Department of Environment and Science sustainability survey should not end there, and this is an important task for the CTWG to follow up on.” According to a DES spokesperson, QPWS has been using a number plate recognition system for the purpose of checking vehicle access permits in the Cooloola Recreation Area (as well as Bribie Island) for some time, but the system is not integrated with QPS or any other external system. The spokesperson told Noosa Today: “The QPWS does not currently ban individual vehicles or drivers, however, rangers can manually list registration numbers for notification if the vehicle is in the recreation area. This is done

to ensure all required permits are obtained by visitors. The QPWS and QPS work in collaboration regularly, but there is no integration of compliance systems. The QPWS allow police access to number plate recognition system data in appropriate circumstances, such as by formal request to assist with an ongoing investigation and during coordination of disaster management operations.” Sandy Bolton wanders along an unusually lonely Teewah Beach just after dawn, savouring the solitude, remembering when her kids were little, bringing them over to camp or for picnics, or driving them up the back roads of Cooloola in her little 4WD for sporting events up north. She stops to pick up a discarded single use plastic bottle from deep in a tyre track, and murmurs a phrase that is becoming a mantra: “We need to ensure this incredible part of our home is here for the kids of today, and of tomorrow. And we need to get a move on!” If anyone can do that, Sandy can.

Koala group slams build By Jim Fagan The proposal to relocate the koala colony at Noosa Springs and replace the habitat with a five-storey hotel has been condemned by Queensland Koala Crusaders Association Ambassador, Meghan Halverson. “Do I think it is the end of the population of Noosa Springs koalas. Yes I do. “It is ludicrous to say you can tear up the trees and move the koalas and everything will be a-okay. Koalas have a very high stress level and this is going to push it through the roof. “The disturbance to the koala, the glossy black cockatoo, the landscape, the habitat and all the creatures that lie underneath the koala in that umbrella is an absolute threat to their survival.” Meghan is also co-founder and past president of the Crusaders and on Monday she was at the Noosa Springs koala site to meet some of the objectors who don’t want the 112-room hotel with luxury suites, three tennis courts and two swimming pools at the Resort and Spa to go ahead. More than 500 objections from homeowners from Noosa Springs, Parkridge, The Oasis and Elysium, as well as local golfers, have been submitted to Noosa Council which is expected to consider the proposal next month. A 21-point public impact statement has also been given to the council. It pinpoints opposition to the $29 million proposal by the owners, Chinese company Golden Horse Nine Dragon Lake Holdings, a major Hong Kong based real estate and resort developer. Meghan told Noosa Today: “Every time we clear a block of land we isolate koalas. We actually put them in little islands. For genetic diversity, male joeys need to be able to travel between areas of habitat and connect with other males and females. “If there are no corridors connecting the habitat, it is catastrophic. Developers often don’t consider the animals, the destruction

We need to protect every tree. In areas of habitat, we are clearing more trees than we can replace. It takes five to 10 years to plant new trees and grow new habitat.” “I believe the community wants to see koa-

las, glossies and the like in their area for years to come. Continued clearing for development within a Biosphere will lead to a lack of biodiversity and a path to extinction.” One of the objectors, Warner Manning, later said that five years ago he and other volunteers received a grant from Noosa Council to create a centre for wildlife on Noosa Springs body corporate land.

“We volunteered to plant some friendly gum trees for koalas and build a log bridge over Noosa Springs creek to help koalas circulate round the lake, “We have an arrangement with Koala Rescue that, if they do have a rescue they want to release into the wild, we release it into the designated area. We give them a donation for each release.”

Survivor puts love to test By Abbey Cannan Mudjimba couple Ben Watson and Shayelle Lajoie will be pushed to their limit on the new season of Australian Survivor: Blood V Water, with the goal of claiming the title of sole survivor 2022. The season kicked off on Monday 31 January on Channel 10, where Ben, 33, and Shayelle, 31, began to test the strength of their bond as they played the world’s toughest game. Standing at 193cm (6 foot 4” on the old scale), Ben is a standout in the crowd kind of guy and has a drive to win. He hopes to be a player who is a beast at challenges but also someone the tribe trusts. “Before even playing the game, it was super intriguing for me,“ Ben said. “I train six days a week in Crossfit but the challenges are just unbelievable. “When you’re on the couch watching the show with a full belly of food, you think ’that can’t be too hard’, but far out, that all went out the window. “I don’t think I would’ve been able to do it without Shay there. She’s my rock in and outside of the game. If I had to do this solo, it would be a completely different ball game. “I had a fantastic experience, behind the camera, in front of the camera. Every person who played a role in the game of Survivor has a place in my heart forever. “It’s something that I’m never going to forget and I’m itching to do it again.“ The tradie and photographer said it was easy to get used to the cameras being around. “They just turn into parts of the scenery.

There’s a lot of other things on your mind, in 40 degree heat and a lack of food,“ he said. Bio medical student, Shayelle, said she’s always been a fan of the show but nothing could prepare her for the psychological toughness. “I’ve watched so many seasons so I knew what challenges were coming up,“ she said. “The physical aspect of it I loved, but it takes a lot of strength to be able to backstab or lie. I didn’t expect it to be so mentally gruelling. I’m such an empathetic person so it was hard. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a few tears on the show.“ Shayelle said they’ve made incredible friends through filming the show and have kept in touch through a group chat. “We’ve only just adjusted back to being in reality since being in the game,“ she said. “Your headspace is quite detached when filming. Your whole focus is on winning the game.“ Watch 24 castaways, including three couples from the Sunshine Coast, battle it out alongside a loved one in the unmissable Australian Survivor: Blood V Water on 10 and 10 Play on demand.

A slice of Sunshine By Erle Levey It has been part and parcel of the Sunshine Beach landscape for as long as most of us can remember. Next month the 486sq m site in the heart of Sunshine that was originally owned by Tom and Lucy Flood is to go to auction. On two titles and with four tenancies leased until 2023, the property at 36-38 Duke St is to go on the market for the first time in 34 years. Brian Watson, who started as a real estate agent in 1973 and went out on his own five years later, bought the property in 1988. “It was owned by Tom and Lucy, and the house beside it,’’ he said. “They operated a post office, bank agency and newsagency from the store. “Sammy’s take-away was downstairs, as well as a pie shop, and two offices were upstairs.’’ Centrally-located in Duke St, the site is improved with a two-level building comprising of two ground-level shops and two first-level offices. Nick Dowling of Colliers International is taking the property to auction in-rooms at Sunshine Beach Surf Club on Friday, March 4, at midday. Fully-leased and zoned Tourist Accommodation, the site provides buyers with the opportunity to take advantage of the 12-metre height limit, Mr Dowling said. “Its proximity to the beach, surf club and surrounding amenity makes it a very appealing place to live, holiday and enjoy the unique cafes, restaurants and retail experiences the village offers.’’ Mr Dowling said the asset was fully leased to four tenants including well-known local businesses Sunshine Beach Real Estate and Fratellini.

A man was taken to Nambour Hospital with a head injury after his car crashed in Noosa Heads. The man was in a stable condition following the single-vehicle crash on Leslie Drive in Noosa Heads at 12.10am on Monday 7 February.

Warana man dies in Maroochydore crash

A fully-leased 486sq m site over two titles zoned Tourist Accommodation at 36-38 Duke St, Sunshine Beach, is scheduled to go to auction in rooms at Sunshine Beach Surf Club on Friday, March 4, at 12pm. 267009 “All tenants have lease expiries in February 2023 which provides buyers with the ability to continue with the income stream on offer or redevelop the site. “The retail village of Sunshine Beach only comprises five freehold lots and a handful of

strata title shops. “These offerings rarely come up for sale and the towns history of strong capital growth underpins why assets like this are such compelling assets to own.” The site has rear access off Douglas Lane.

An 87-year-old Warana man has died following a crash at Maroochydore on Saturday 5 February. At approximately 8.45am police were called to the intersection of Maroochydore Road and Evans Street where the man, who had been riding a mobility scooter, was struck by a vehicle. He was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries. The driver of the vehicle, a 66-year-old Hunchy woman, was not physically injured in the collision. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the circumstances of the crash.

Disaster assistance is now available for Noosa following heavy rainfall and flooding that caused significant damage to a public footpath and roadway in Sunshine Beach. Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien said the assistance was being provided through the jointlyfunded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA). “Excessive rainfall in the Noosa region in November last year caused a landslip near Adams Street at Sunshine Beach, damaging a highly-trafficked footpath and road that is popular with pedestrians and cyclists,” Mr O’Brien said. “This assistance through the DRFA will ensure Noosa Council can prioritise repairs to the street and the pathway that connects Adams Street and Sobraon Street, so that locals and visitors to the region can enjoy a safe thoroughfare.”

Make your mid-week magic Visitors are being tempted to visit Noosa this Autumn thanks to a range of marketing and promotion activity targeting interstate visitors. Tourism Noosa’s CEO Melanie Anderson said: “Following on from a busy summer period, we are looking towards autumn and are targeting our interstate visitors who we know stay longer and spend more in the region.” “A range of marketing and PR activity has already commenced to continue to keep Noosa top of mind as a desirable, friendly and welcoming holiday destination.” Partnering with Flight Centre, Tourism Noosa’s ‘Make your mid-week magic’ campaign kicked off mid-January, re-engaging with our interstate markets, predominately targeting Sydney and Melbourne. The campaign was constructed to drive traffic mid-week and to encourage longer stays and increased spend during off-peak periods. The Flight Centre packages included lots of experience inclusions and add-ons and was marketed across their consumer newsletters, instore POS digital screens, print adverts, social channels and a Noosa takeover of their Queensland deals page. Initial results saw fantastic uplift with close to 500 individual bookings and nearly $500,000 revenue generated for the region. This week Noosa hosted Channel 9’s TODAY morning show TV program with weather crosses. Presenter Tim Davies was happy to be ‘back in the Biosphere’ and showcased a different slice of Noosa – from the Noosa Everglades to Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort, and one of Noosa’s newest restaurant venues, Alba Noosa.

$10,000 for Twinnies The State Government will donate $10,000 to the Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue to assist them to continue their outstanding wildlife work. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said of the Sunshine Coast organisation deserved support for its great efforts in helping sick and injured pelicans and seabirds. “I was very impressed when I saw Bridgette and Paula Powers on Australian Story,” the Premier said. “Their dedication and passion as wildlife conservationists is truly admirable, and their track record of voluntary work over so many years deserves our backing.” For more than 20 years, Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue has been caring for birds that have been injured by propellers, caught in fishing lines, or injured or sick for other reasons. “The twins’ appearance on Australian Story served to shine a new light on their long-running work,” the Premier said. “Our $10,000 contribution will hopefully inspire others to also support them and their mum Helen to help meet their running costs.” Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt said in every community, there are people who go the extra mile for those who need help. “For Helen and the Twinnies, it’s our beautiful coastal birdlife which benefits from their tireless work and gigantic hearts,” Mr Hunt said. “I’m genuinely delighted to be able to show our Premier the amazing work that they do on behalf of our wildlife. “And I’m even more pleased to be able to assist them in some way in their ceaseless efforts to nurse sick and injured birds back to health.” The Premier said not-for-profit wildlife reha-

Age no barrier for group By Jim Fagan Noosa community group U3Anoosa is looking for new members and president Liz Gleghorn insists they don’t have to be retired or over 65. “I think people have the wrong idea about us—that you have to be a senior to join. That couldn’t be more wrong. We have no threshold on age. Although our members are predominantly seniors, anyone is welcome.” Liz has been president for four years and is enthusiastic about U3A (University of the Third Age) which has groups across Australia. The local U3A which meets in Tewantin was formed more than 25 years ago. “We are all volunteers here, tutors included.” She told Noosa Today: “U3Anoosa is a community association dedicated to promoting the intellectual, emotional, social and physical well-being of its members, using education and structured activities as vehicles to achieve these goals. “We are like-minded people who have common interests and develop beautiful friendships. “The social side of things is certainly just as important as the learning. We believe we have a good mix and that we cater for all sorts of people and their needs.” The organisation has an average annual membership about 650 but it would like more. Liz said: “We want to entice back those members we have lost during Covid but we would also like to expand. We’re looking at establishing U3Anoosa elsewhere, maybe in the Peregian Beach area, but there’s a lot of work to do first.” The group will start its year next Monday with 43 different courses and classes on offer in a curriculum with something for the energetic like line dancing and Scottish

Claire educated me about how the body works on a priority principle with where it actually hurts (muscles and tendons) is the least important body system to heal first.

Turtles return home By Abbey Cannan

Coolum and north shore coast care volunteers move a turtle nest to higher ground. Picture: ROB MACCOLL

Boys aplenty By Margie Maccoll “We have a beach full of boys and that’s not a bad thing,” Coolum and North Shore Coast Care president Leigh Warneminde said of this year’s turtle nests. With the sex of turtles dependent on sand temperature our wet and windy summer has kept the sand temperature average down to around 26 degrees Celsius while it needs to be above 28.5 degrees for females. A bunch of boys may be a welcome addition to sea turtle populations considering a study of green turtles on the Great Barrier Reef by Jensen et.al published in Current Biology in 2018 found the bias toward females ranged from 70 to 99 per cent, raising concerns for the species with global temperature rises predicted. Leigh said it had been an unusual nesting season along the Sunshine Coast. There have been 18 nests - three green and the rest loggerhead turtles - compared to 31 nests last year, and Alexandria Bay has been the stand out destination for the turtles. The nests have incubated 70-80 days instead of

the usual 50-70 days and there have only been two nest runs including one at Peregian Beach Friday night. And we’re still getting nests with the last known one laid at Peregian Beach Saturday night below the high tide mark which volunteers transferred to higher ground to prevent it being washed away, she said. Leigh said considering there are only 600 nesting turtles in Queensland and they take 3-5 years to build up their condition to lay eggs it’s not surprising there are fewer nests this year. As the hatchlings are expected over the coming weeks until the end of April and perhaps early May Leigh is asking beachside residents to cover their windows or turn off lights at night to stop them running toward their lights instead of the sea. She’s asking people to pick up large beach debris to make their journey easier and if anyone sees evidence of hatchling runs such as tracks to give them a call on 0478 435 377 and for more information visit coolumcoastcare. org.au

It’s that time of year again when the baby turtles erupt from their nests and trek down Sunshine Coast beaches. While the annual Clean Up For The Hatchlings event has been cancelled in its current format, the community is being called on to safely pick up rubbish at a time that suits them. The staff of Sea Life Sunshine Coast Aquarium did their part while preparing the beach for a very special double turtle release. Two Green Sea Turtles, Dasher and Blitzen, arrived to Sea Life Sunshine Coast just before the festive season, in need of care and rehabilitation. Dasher was found on 3 December 2021 in the shallows of Mooloolaba Spit weighing 10kg, and Blitzen was earlier on 3 November 2021 washed up on Teewah Beach, weighing 7kg and has proved to have a very healthy appetite – munching on over 500g of food per day. The pair of healthy turtles were released at 8am sharp on Tuesday 1 February on Mooloolaba Beach. Sea Life Curator Kate Willson said the release went smoothly. “They were a little bit slow off the gates getting out, but once they got in that water, they weren’t mucking around. They were like ‘Cya’,” she said. “It’s always a bit of a bitter sweet feeling on the release day. We’re happy to see them go home but we do grow attached to them.” “Everyone can play a part in the Clean Up For The Hatchlings event by going down to your local beach and spending 20 minutes picking up rubbish. “This means that the little hatchlings can have a clean run straight down the sand, and hopefully they don’t come back to me,

The two Green Sea Turtles, Dasher and Blitzen, arrived to Sea Life Sunshine Coast in need of care before the festive season.

Sea life Curator Kate Willson is responsible for the well-being of over 3500 animals. because that’s really sad to see those poor guys coming in. I would much prefer them to be out in the ocean doing turtle things.” Kate said they currently have four turtles being cared for at Sea Life Sunshine Coast.

NOOSA PARADE CORRIDOR UPGRADE STAGE ONE CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED

On-street parking changes Parking bays along Noosa Parade will be used as the temporary traffic lanes while the works progress in the median. The construction will be completed in 400m sections to minimise the impact on parking and ensure work zones are safe and manageable. If you usually park a vehicle or boat trailer along Noosa Parade, you will need to make alternate arrangements while construction is underway in that area. Vehicles in the work zone will need to be towed. Parking bays will reopen as each stage is completed. The first stage of works has started, with parking bays being temporarily closed between Munna Point Bridge to Lagoona Drive on Noosa Parade.

The Noosa Parade Corridor Upgrade is proudly supported by the Queensland

12534977-DL06-22

Access to properties along Noosa Parade will be maintained while work is underway. In the event any disruptions are expected, such as during driveway demolition and construction, residents will be contacted before this work starts so alternative arrangements can be made.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

MIDSOMER MURDERS ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

There are all sorts of players in detective dramas, from petty criminals, to untrustworthy relatives and dodgy businessmen. But when you’re searching for the most entertaining type of murder mystery character, it’s undoubtedly the psychic. This week, Midsomer Murders fans are probably inwardly tap-dancing in delight at the premise of the long-running series latest murder puzzle, “The Witches of Angel’s Rise”. Featuring psychics, occult followers and mediums, it has spooky covered. After a woman’s body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of a psychic fair, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, pictured) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) are plunged into the spiritual world.

RUGBY LEAGUE Nine Network, Saturday, from 4pm

Footy fans can rejoice; the game is back with a triple header to kick-off the 2022 season. After the pandemic played havoc with fixtures and venues last year, Sydney is for the first time hosting the showpiece All Stars event, with a men’s contest, a women’s clash and even a touch football game. Live from CommBank Stadium, the Indigenous All Stars (including South Sydney playmaker Cody Walker, pictured right) will take on the Maori All Stars (featuring Penrith prop James Fisher-Harris, pictured left) in a lively match, with spectators sure to be fired up and in good spirits. The event will hopefully mark the start of a season that returns some semblance of normalcy to passionate fans across the country.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

You vowed and declared that you wouldn’t be watching this latest series of melodramatic matrimony, but after one glimpse of the eye-catching cast your resolve miraculously dissolved like a wayward dose of botox. This season, the brides and grooms are as ambitious, outspoken and as game for a fight – and affair – as ever. It’s sassy, superfluous TV at its lowbrow best. Resident sex therapist Alessandra Rampolla’s (pictured) second-ever intimacy week begins with some couples blooming, while others struggle to connect, both physically and emotionally, with their partners. Whether you tune in for the slim chance of a love story, or the thrill of the petty squabbles and flirting, there’s almost something for everyone.

FRAMED SBS, Tuesday, 9.30pm

Sometimes, the truth really is much stranger than fiction. When awardwinning journalist, presenter and podcaster Marc Fennell (pictured) learnt about the infamous theft of Picasso’s Weeping Woman in 1986 from the National Gallery of Victoria, he was gobsmacked and, in true journalist style, needed to find out more. This four-part true-crime doco launched on SBS On Demand late last year and it’s plain to see why it has become their most successful digital series ever: it’s a largerthan-life riddle which is amazingly still yet to be solved. In tonight’s first episode, the bizarre art theft, complete with outlandish ransom notes, is given the fine-tooth comb treatment.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Political interference Craig Kelly, a defector from the Liberal Party, and leader of Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party, has declared that he will direct preferences in our electorate of Wide Bay, to the sitting National Party member Llew O’Brien. Why? Purportedly because of O’Brien’s objection to vaccine passports. Given that Qld is now subject to the Let it Rip policy that has seen all states except WA open their borders - a policy that has quadrupled Covid deaths, particularly among the elderly - this could well be a moot point in the lead-up to a May election. In the last federal election, Palmer promoted any policy that would appeal to the general populace, regardless of whether or not it was deliverable. He also spent ~$80 million in advertising, in what was effectively a voteharvesting effort for the LNP. It certainly was a major factor in delivering the Morrison Government to us. Palmer’s interest in doing this was to gain approval for his proposed massive coal mine in the Galilee Basin. Palmer has already commenced a very expensive advertising campaign, on youtube and in newspapers, to again try to influence this election. We can only hope that this time around Dear Editor, preferences of this selfinterested person will be ignored. Joy Ringrose, Pomona

LENSCAPE

Half-Baked Kneading the workers’ dough to rise, is the master chef from the Cook electorate offering nothing fresh but his “Shake and Bake’ recipe? Will this half-baked recipe appeal to hard Working Australian Families? Just asking. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

In it for the money Don’t know what all the fuss is about over Barnaby Joyce’s text message and his dislike of Scott Morrison. Or even Gladys Berejiklians dislike of Scott Morrison. Their is a Judas in every Political Party, all in it for their own success and the money it brings. Not forgetting the retirement pension when and if they get caught out. Unfortunately as history shows the wrong person was nailed to the cross. And we are not too far away from paying homage to him as we do every Easter. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

STA detail Are there no good community minded well behaved neighbours in your fictional neighbourhood Ms Maccoll? (Editorial 4 Jan) Noosa used to be full of them. Mind you everyone wants to move to where the local STA is let for only the weekends to families, where the parties are occasional, and there are no abandoned distressed dogs, or illegal parking with jet skis, cars, boats and caravans. I assume the family doesn’t equal 25 plus people? It’s all in the detail isn’t it Mr McLellan. There are approximately 5,000 STA in Noosa. Possibly the highest concentration of STA in the world. Why approximately, possibly?

During the week Sheila McCredie found this baby bandicoot struggling to stay afloat in the skimmer box of her pool. “He slowly and fully recovered over the course of the day and is now being looked after by wildlife carers,” she said. “Unusual to find bandicoots living so close to the Junction.” If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

Noosa Council admits it doesn’t know. There could be more. Council did a mail-out to STA owners during consultation for the new local law. It invited submissions from owners. It seems Council has lost the contact details because it didn’t do a similar mail-out to ensure STA owners registered by 1 February. Why? How many have been registered by the due date? Nil? I am not sure anyone is hell-bent on scaling down the tourist trade or where Mr McLellan’s estimates of 30% less accommodation come from. There are plenty of empty hotel and motel rooms in Noosa. Empty because the guests have been poached by the STA industry that faces less regulatory overheads and where

Covid regulations don’t apply. Why don’t they apply? It is true there is State party-house legislation. This Council refuses to use it. Why? It is encouraging to read Mr Curry acknowledges there are industry issues with residential amenity; noise and overcrowding. It makes a welcome change in tone from the more usual hysterical hyperbole of the industry. Your readership values and deserves accurate reporting. I encourage a little more investigation on the broader social issues of STA proliferation; incisive questioning and fact checking Ms Maccoll. Julia Craddock, Sunshine Beach

Tewantin-Noosa Meals on Wheels has felt the impact of Covid on the community through the steep increase of demand on their service. The number of meals they deliver weekly has increased 50 per cent since Covid appeared in 2020 with a noticeable increase occurring recently. The Noosaville-based service provides a vital service, delivering 570 to 600 meals each week to clients who may be frail, aged, younger disabled and their carers who find it difficult due to age, infirmity or medical condition to prepare their own meals. With more than 3000 recorded Covid cases in Noosa vulnerable people have been advised to stay home. “They just don’t want to go out, go shopping,” facilitator Sharran said. “We put on seven new clients last week.” The service has had to increase its meal delivery runs from seven to 11 and increase staff

from two full time employees to two full-time, three part-time and a casual worker and is assisted with an army of 220 volunteers to provide meals for 160 clients. Sharran said the service was indebted to its volunteers, sponsors and suppliers. “At the beginning of Covid we were one of the few places operating,” she said. Sharran said despite the concerns over the pandemic the volunteers had all stuck with them and they were fortunate only a few had contracted the disease and those had not been badly affected. She said suppliers had made sure they had the ingredients they needed to prepare the meals. Sharran said the service catered to a diverse range of tastes and special needs. There is an eight-week rotating menu that includes meals such as steak Dianne, sweet and sour pork, Moroccan lamb and grilled barramundi. Special diets include those for

diabetics, people with food intolerances or ethnic requirements or those needing pureed or vitamin enriched meals. The meals are delivered to clients and measures are taken to be Covid save as well as caring. “We try and reduce contact as much as we can. Many of our clients are elderly. We try and do as much as we can to keep them safe,” she said. “We’re the only contact a lot of them have.” Meals on Wheels has a variety of fundraising activities. As well as providing food for corporate events they sell pies and relishes and extra funds enable them to purchase gifts for their clients at Christmas, Easter and a warm rug for winter. Tewantin Noosa Meals on Wheels has volunteers ranging from school students to seniors and are always on the look out for more.

Trial of free local buses Free weekend buses become a reality for Noosa on Saturday as council kicks off a 12-month trial that will see free weekend travel on all existing Translink services operating within Noosa. Mayor Clare Stewart said the trial is an extension of council’s popular Go Noosa Free Holiday Bus program which operates during the Christmas and Easter holidays. “We know from the free holiday buses that providing free travel increases the use of public transport,” Cr Stewart said. “It delivers a significant incentive for residents and visitors to use public transport. “This has prompted council to offer the free buses every weekend of the year. “We want to help more people trying to get in to busy locations like Hastings Street, where we know finding a park can be difficult, especially on weekends and during the upcoming Noosa Parade upgrade,” Cr Stewart said. “For staff working in key precincts on the weekend, it will help them avoid the need to drive, plus save them time and money.” The free weekend services also offer residents and visitors a unique way to experience the hinterland and popular day-trip attractions such as the Cooroy Butter Factory, Mt Cooroora (Pomona), Noosa Trail Network and a range of local markets, eateries and shops. This initiative is another step towards council achieving its transport vision of an efficient, free flowing, innovative transport system that enhances resident and visitor experiences, and results in sustainable environmental outcomes. “With the introduction of free weekend

Free weekend buses become a reality for Noosa. buses, along with the existing Free Holiday Buses, means that free public transport is available in Noosa for approximately 145 days of the year,” Mayor Stewart said. “That is a significant amount of free travel we are now offering, and we hope to really change the long-term behaviour of travellers, making it second nature to get on a bus to get around.”

The trial includes existing Translink services 626, 627, 628, 629 and 632 covering Tewantin, Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Noosa Heads, Parklands, Noosa Junction, Noosaville, Cooran, Cooroy and Pomona. Routes 620, 630 and 631 travel outside of the Noosa Shire Council area and are not included in the free service.

Renowned chef Peter Kuruvita at his new Noosa Heads restaurant ‘ALBA by Kuruvita’.

View by Matt Golinski earns a prestigious Chef Hat Award for a third time.

Noosa’s chefs earn hats By Abbey Cannan Noosa’s top restaurants have been recognised as Australia’s best in 2022, earning themselves a prestigious Chef Hat Award. The pandemic has shown the true grit and passion of all those working in the hospitality industry, spending their days fighting to survive while still producing award-winning experiences. “In any fighting sport, you have to be willing to get punched in the face,” renowned chef Peter Kuruvita said. Out of the first 38 days of his new Noosa Heads restaurant being opened, the doors were forced to be closed for 15. That didn’t stop ALBA by Kuruvita receiving an Australian Good Food Guide Chef Hat for the first time at a high level in 2022. “In hospitality, you put your heart and soul into it, so I feel terrible for any restaurant that has had to close throughout the pandemic,” Mr Kuruvita said. “To be totally honest, when I was opening the restaurant, I thought ‘Come on, it’s been two years of the pandemic, what else could go wrong?

“Well, I got Covid, along with the rest of my family. I actually got hit really bad. I’m a healthy, fit person but I think the four months prior to getting the restaurant together really took a toll on my immune system. There were nine days that I really thought I wasn’t going to get better.” Mr Kuruvita said his whole team was stoked about the award. “We like to have a great venue for the tourists but for us, the most important people are the locals and in return we have been rewarded for that,” he said. “The satisfaction of being able to put up good food, entertain locals, and make them proud, is why I do it.” When you start from scratch in the middle of Christmas with a hyped-up venue, you’re just inviting madness, the chef admitted. “This Christmas was like standing on the end of the biggest rainbow and seeing a massive pot of gold, but you could never reach it,” he said. “These next few months and over winter, it will really show who can survive this.” The Australian Good Food Guide awarded a 2022 Chef Hat to a number of other Noosa

favourites including; Sum Yung Guys, Locale, Alba, Miss Moneypenny’s, Noosa Waterfront, Embassy XO, View, Sails, Noosa Beach House, Sumi Open Kitchen, and Rickys. Third-time award winners, View by Matt Golinski, agreed that the Christmas period was an unusual time. “It’s been a really strange two years,” Mr Golinski said. “The Christmas period was unusual in that we’ve had trouble with finding enough front of house staff. “During the period that is usually the busiest time of the year, we’ve kind of just been plotting along in the kitchen. “We’re looking forward to a time when we’re able to be really busy again. “While it’s tough being in the restaurant trade at the moment, we certainly haven’t struck it as bad as people in Melbourne and Sydney.” Mr Golinski said while he was proud of his whole team’s effort, Noosa’s local produce was to thank for their Chef Hat Award. “We have such amazing producers that drop their ingredients at our back door every day, and to me it’s their Chef’s Hat as much as

it is ours because we rely on them so much,” he said. “It makes such a massive difference to the end product.” With a new restaurant manager on board, Mr Golinski said locals can expect exciting new cocktails and a range of upcoming events at View. “He’s been creating new cocktails using a lot of the indigenous ingredients we have available to us,” Mr Golinski said. “Expect to see ingredients like Davidson Plums and cinnamon Myrtles, and we’re also liaising with a lot of Queensland wineries to try and get some of their beautiful wines on our wine list as well.” Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson congratulated all the restaurants. “Noosa has long been known as a great destination for food lovers and the Australian Chefs Hats awards are a great acknowledgment of this,” she said. “It is wonderful to see the diverse range of Noosa restaurants being awarded this year – from one of our smallest, Sumi, to some of our most established restaurants and one of our newest. Congratulations to all.”

Comedy tour set to arrive Bunbury Productions’ first national tour of Mono, a ‘comedy tour de farce’ from three of Australia’s best loved performers, is set to hit the J Theatre stage on 5 March 2022. Noeline Brown (The Naked Vicar Show), Max Gillies (The Gillies Report) and John Wood (Blue Heelers) are the entire cast of ‘Mono’; the brand new classic comedy by Angus FitzSimons (Senior Moments). “It’s always been a dream of mine to perform together individually with Max and John,” says Noeline Brown. “I also still dream about sitting my final Latin exam and realising I have forgotten to wear clothes, but this has nothing to do with promoting ‘Mono’. “It is an honour to be asked to do “King Lear” for the Bell Shakespeare Company,” says Max Gillies. “But they didn’t ask, so I’m doing “Mono”. “I think we could all do with a laugh at the moment” says John Wood “That’s why I watch “Fawlty Towers” after rehearsals for 26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 February, 2022

“Mono” are thankfully over.” Producer and Dictator Angus FitzSimons says, “It is a privilege to have these three legends as the cast. Max, Noeline and John are household names and also recognised in flats.” ‘Mono’ is a comedy revue play in the tradition of Joyce Grenfell, Alan Bennett and Bob Newhart; with nine brilliant comic characters brought to life through hysterical monologues in 90 minutes of wit, fun, and laughter. What is ‘Mono’ about? It’s about 90 minutes. It’s also about a hectoring Headmistress, a bad Bush Poet (and he don’t know it), a puzzled Policeman, a meandering Minister, a chaotic Conductor, a mindless ‘Mindfulness’ teacher, a surreal Sotheby’s Auctioneer, and a very, very sozzled Mother of the Bride. It’s about pure fun and about to be at a theatre near you in 2022. Tickets for ‘Mono’ are available now at monoshow.com.au

A big wave legend Big wave surfing legend Mark Mathews will deliver his award-winning motivational presentation during the Noosa Festival of Surfing next month. The presentation, Life Beyond Fear, has been hailed around the world for the parallels it draws between putting your life on the line riding monster waves and understanding the fulfillment of personal growth in any walk of life. As the one-time Bra Boy says: “Riding the world’s biggest waves takes a great deal of courage and resilience. But the courage and resilience it takes to surf big waves is not reserved for a limited number of action sports athletes and adrenaline junkies. It’s available for anyone. When applied, these principles allow us to live a life without the controlling limitations of fear, a life on our own terms.” Mark grew up at Sydney’s Maroubra Beach and freely admits that he started his surfing life frightened of the power of big waves. That all changed through his friendship with the fearless Abberton brothers and the rest of the group known as the “Bra Boys”, who soon got him into attempting Tasmania’s treacherous Shipstern Bluff, one of the surfing world’s most dangerous “slabs”. Since those beginnings he has become one of the world’s most respected big wave riders, conquering monster waves at home and all over the world, and picking up a slew of Oakley Big Wave Awards along the way. But he hasn’t escaped unscathed. A horrific wipeout in 2016 threatened to end his career when it severed the nerves in a leg. Showing the courage and resilience he talks about in Life Beyond Fear, Mark staged a miraculous comeback and is back riding big waves. His presentation focuses on three surfing reference points that can be applied to “real life”. The first, Out The Back, examines the courage required to commit to taking off on a big wave. As he says: “You have to want it more than you fear it”. The second, Wipeout, looks

Big wave legend Mark Mathews puts it on the line. at how to survive the impact zone, in the surf as well as in life. The third, The Next Wave, examines motivation and stress management to overcome adversity, and after a three-year rehabilitation when doctors told him he’d never surf again, no one knows that journey better than Mark Mathews. Says festival organizer Josh Allen: “This is an amazing opportunity for you and your friends or business team to be inspired by a world-renowned speaker and big-wave surfer. Having personally experienced Mark’s story in the past, I highly recommend his show to anyone, surfer or not.” Live at The J, 8pm, 11 March. Tickets $55 at noosafestivalofsurfing.com

The J to host music royalty The release of The Whitlams’ seventh album ‘Sancho’, their first since 2006, has garnered an impressive collection of great reviews from music critics across the board ahead of their ‘Gaffage and Clink Tour’ which includes a performance at The J Theatre Noosa on Saturday 19 February. “Hearing the familiar voice of Freedman reassuring us that ‘the worse that it was, the better it will be’ might just be what we need in these uncertain times,” is how The Australian’s Andrew P Street summed up their tour. Tim Freedman said, “You have no idea how much I want to get back to the dressing room after a great show and have a beer with the boys in the band. Third time lucky, here we come.” The ‘Gaffage and Clink Tour’ has 36 dates confirmed across most parts of the country including five shows at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, three shows at Perth’s Astor Theatre, two shows at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, and two in the Summerhouse on the River Torrens to close next year’s Adelaide Festival. The ‘Gaffage and Clink Tour’ will see The Whitlams play their usual rambunctious set highlighting the new album and featuring a broad selection of tunes from their six Platinum and Gold albums. It will also feature solo sets from special guests Alex Lloyd and Emily Wurramara on selected dates.With many dates already sold out, there are some tickets still available for remaining shows from: thewhitlams.com/tour

Rebuilding the memories By Jacqueline Trewin Noosa Councillor Karen Finzel will unveil the second photographic exhibition on display at Max Galleria, featuring an international book launch from renowned Noosa-based authorphotographer Matt Bushell. The much-anticipated event will take place in Tewantin this Saturday 12 February from 6pm to 9pm until Saturday 26 February. Entitled, ‘Memories of Australia’, the exhibition documents the architecture and interiors of Australia’s industrial past, inciting wonder of the stories behind beloved monumental relics, once thriving dwellings from a bygone era. Gallery curator Maxine Stibbe who showcased Bushell’s first works at the exclusive Art@16 group exhibition at her Noosaville gallery in 2016, says his career has since skyrocketed. “To see Matt now with an international book launch after giving him his first opportunity to exhibit, makes me happy to share the passion of an enormous talent in our community,” Ms Stibbe said. “He could have launched it down in Brisbane, where he works full-time and has been given lots of opportunities, but he chose the person in little Tewantin who helped him along the way,” she said. When working for five years as a graphic designer in Singapore for global real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle, Bushell discovered a love for photographing graffiti seven years ago. But a much greater love proved monumental. “In Singapore, graffiti is frowned upon and there’s a hefty penalty if you get caught doing it. So, I wanted to go in and photograph it. And one place where you can find graffiti is on abandoned buildings,” Mr Bushell said. “I was fascinated by these abandoned spaces, where nature would overtake the place. You’d get these strangler figs where the tree roots would come down the walls of the buildings, like taking back was once nature. “We’ve come in, we’ve cleared the land, knocked down all the trees and built this building, house or factory there. And once we’ve finished with that space, we’ve just left it, and then nature has come back to reclaim that space,” Mr Bushell said. But it was before graduating with a Bachelor of Design and Communication, with a minor in Photography from the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), when Bushell’s unique gift was formally recognised. In 2017, his USC photography lecturer, Dr Debra Livingstone invited him to partake at the exhibition, ‘How the Light Gets In’ at USC Art Gallery, where viewers explored the unimagined possibilities of digital photography that ‘stimulates the mind, emotion and imagination’. Bushell’s upcoming collection at Max Galleria promises to be no exception. Escaping through an adventurous portal of heterotopic spaces, he allows you to reflect on a social culture time has forgotten. “I think we are losing our industrial past. In fact, from the 80s onwards, we’ve slowly lost it all. We used to make everything in Austra-

We’ve got no textile factories that produce products. We used to make trains here, but now we just import them from India and other countries.” “So, I think it is important to document an industry that was once quite a thing here in Australia,” he said. Bushell has achieved this with a 240-page anthological masterpiece. Published by Schiffer Publishing last year, ‘Memories of Australia – Abandoned Buildings and Their Stories’ will transport you through a nostalgic lens, leaving you mesmerised. Aside from its aesthetic quality that adds character to living spaces, it serves as a coffee table book at best for sparking conversation. A timeless classic of urban exploration across varying landscapes, it educates and inspires thought-provoking reflections of Australia’s heritage. “I think it’s nice to see nice, shiny relics in a museum, but I think an abandoned building is a lot stronger as it shows how it actually operated and how the place functioned ‘back in the day’,” he said. “It’s almost like time has stopped; like the workers were working one day, then left the next.” With his third exhibition underway, Bushell reminds audiences this exhibition is more than a photographic collection of dilapidated monstrosities. “Some people may say these buildings

But once they see the photos of these places, the first reaction is, ‘oh, wow, this is so amazing - look at this place!” he said. Ms Stibbe looks forward to providing her space again for an artist she sees plays a pivotal role in Australia’s cultural legacy. “The immensity of Matt Bushell’s adventures across Australia’s decaying landscape and buildings trigger memories of aeons and lifestyles ago.”

Haunting images of places and things so familiar to the Australian psyche, create a moving, exquisite reflection of Australia and how its culture can deteriorate quickly with mother nature’s growth and loving embrace,” she said. Proudly sponsored by local business, Scotty’s Pizza, the exhibition will feature artist talks on February 12, 19 and 26, with 100 per cent tax deductible art available to ABN holders.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Fresh-shucked Tassie Pacific oysters.

Mussels and gazpacho.

Ravioli mare e monti.

Lucio’s, same but different Trevor Pepys (and friend) reviews Lucio’s Marina Since it opened late last year, Lucio’s Marina has been getting rave reviews, in spite of being plagued by staff shortages (like so many highend venues) over the holiday period, but Trev only managed to get there after Invasion Day, when the hectic season had started to wane. It was immediately apparent that the raves were justified, and we’ll get to that soon, but first a bit of history. You might have read about Lucio’s pedigree in these pages last September when a hack reporter for this paper who annoyingly and ignorantly transgresses onto Trev’s foodie turf from time to time, announced that the Lucio’s brand, honed over 40 years in inner Sydney, was moving to Noosa. Many of his facts were wrong, which is what you get when you hire cheap, but he did establish that, the Sydney restaurant having closed its doors in 2020, the children of the esteemed Lucio Galletta, Matteo and Michela (and Matteo’s wife Dieuwke) were keeping the brand alive with a modern, seafood-oriented version on the Noosa Marina. Now Trev, on his many sojourns south over the years, had made quite a habit of lunching at Lucio’s, not just for the delicious homecooked flavours but for the ambience created by the Gallettas’ cosy, art-filled space and the larger than life personality of mine host. So having finally sampled Noosa’s own Lucio’s, he was about to sit down and write his critique when an interstate visitor insisted on a beer or two at the surf club. “I have to tell you about where we ate last night,” gushed the excitable fellow. As it turns out, this chap was a long-time habitue of Sydney’s Lucio’s, as had been his father before him, a sometime lunching buddy of Trev’s. So excited was he about his experience at Lucio’s Marina that he not only told Trev about it, he then flicked him a written account, pleading that it be published. Trev shares food but not column space as a rule, however this was a special circumstance. This, in part, is what our southern friend had to say: “I went to the restaurant with four friends and obviously had high hopes, given we really enjoyed the Sydney version. The setting is bright and takes good advantage of the location. It has elements of the past but is definitely a new and different offering. We opened with a round of cocktails because that’s what you do in modern Australia. My raspberry gimlet was delicious and others had a gin based, pineapple concoction that was also very well received. We all shared small plate entrees, which were all enjoyed. We tried the crudo,

Michela, Matteo and Dieuwke. which was light and fresh, burrata with San Danielle prosciutto and mortadella, and ciabatta with tomato butter which was a real winner. The gamberoni from the mains section offered prawns grilled and split which seemed too hard to resist, and they were a highlight – sweet, lightly seasoned and buttery. “Mains for all were pasta and it was nice to see the green noodles with spanner crab had made its way north to the new restaurant. This was a crowd pleaser as always. We also had the Moreton Bay bug ravioli with foie gras, which was very tasty but probably not for those who don’t like dill. The spaghetti alla caprese was the showstopper. It was delicate, simple and delicious. There was not an unhappy diner at our table. “Lucio’s Marina is not Lucio’s. That is all for the better. As a nod to its origins, but with a fresh and clean look, I expect it will garner a whole new legion of fans.” Well said, young man. Trev couldn’t have put it much better, although he will now try. We were a thirsty three, and although the wine list veers towards the expensive, we were delighted to find the Karman Rioja Rose ($50),

Lucio’s Marina interior. which slid down the throat happily all night. Lucio’s Sydney always had the best bread, so we munched on an Italian ciabatta with tomato compound butter ($10) while we made our selections. We started with six Tasmanian Pacific Oysters with cucumber citrus dressing ($5 each), Pickled black lip mussels, cherry tomatoes and burnt cucumber and white gazpacho ($19), and the Fritto Misto ($25) of calamari, school prawns, whitebait with bergamot aioli. Moving to pasta, we shared the Spaghetti ai ricci di mare ($35) tossed with sea urchin cream, salmon roe and pangrattato, and the Ravioli mare e monti ($55) with Moreton Bay bug, foie gras and saffron (see above), with an Insalata verde ($15) of baby cos on the side. The verdict: The ravioli was a bit rich for Trev’s taste, and we could have done with more mussels and less gazpacho, but overall this was a fabulous dining experience. Matteo and Michela are busy charmers front of house, and head chef Alejandro Soto is keeping the Lucio spirit alive in the kitchen. Lucio’s Marina, Noosa Marina, Parkyn Court, Tewantin.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Wild winds and big fish Well as the title suggests it has certainly been a big week of weather yet again. It really is a case of having your gear ready to go at moment’s notice, being prepared to make sudden changes to plans once out. The biggest bit of advice is to have mobile phones with the local radar up so you can see storms moving in or have your marine radio on and listen to weather updates. Once out anglers certainly have landed some chunky Spanish to 15kg and cobia around the 7kg mark. Reef fishing has been great with charters bagging out on big nannygai, snapper, sweetlip, cobia and trout. Double island was popular before the weather turned with the local reef of Sunshine, halls and North a short run from home. It appears that floated pilchards and trolled hardbodies are getting the bite with Rapala XRap 30 and Nomad DTX 140’s working well in a spread. Some anglers prefer to troll at highspeed making the Nomad Madmacs the perfect lure. It is thought that high speed trolling prevents total bite off’s so if this is you, try increasing your speed or use a small amount of wire. For those anglers who like to troll big dead baits we now have a return of whole bonito which are one of, if not the best big Spanish mackerel troll bait. Match these to a custom gang hook rig or buy a pre-made one for when the weather breaks. Surf fishing should start to fire up late next week as we push toward a full moon the following week. A lot of fish will start to feed aggressively during the building neap tide phase, and this applies to all areas including the estuary. Be sure to fish as light as you can with 6-8kg ideal as the sweep from the swell will be high. If looking to re-spool an alvey then Platypus Lo-Stretch is our pick with its reduced diameter and increased sensitivity. The Noosa River was starting to clear up and there is bound to be a bit of a cold push coming from upstream. After the weekend things should start to settle down with more bites coming. Around the mouth the early morning low tides will give you a chance to fish the clean run-in tidal waters. Have lightly weighted baits and soft plastics so they look more realistic. The new color range of Squidgy paddle prawns look great with whitebait a great colour for big flatties. You can always expect to find flatties laying in wait around here with whiting and bream lurking in the deep gutters. If you want to try another area then the dog beach will be quieter now and there are a lot of great snags for those on boats. These fallen trees are some of the best structure in the lower estuary and will definitely hold some big fish including jacks, if you can get to them. This area is a must for weedless rigged soft plastics like small Zerek live flash minnow as it is streamlined and has a great side profile.

Jack Dekort with a solid spanish mackerel while Kayak fishing. Upriver, you can try around the ski run and even between the lakes for trevally and jewfish, however if you are catching catfish you need to head down river. Catfish are a classic sign that the waters are too fresh. Noosa tends to clear up faster than other systems and if it is dirty think about strong smelling baits like bonito, frigate tuna, slimy mackerel and mullet. For the lure anglers then nothing beats soft vibes and with hundreds to pick from you can certainly find something to take your fancy. Freshwaters are again overflowing from the heavy falls mid-week. Much like week’s before, the fresh can fire one day and cold the next. Ensure you have at least two rods rigged and ready to go. You should have a TT Vortex spinnerbait on one and a weedless rigged Keitech easy shiner 3 inch for times you suddenly see schooled up bass on your sounder. If surface fishing, try any bays the wind is blowing into and work all the snags in that area only moving on once you have thoroughly worked it. Now for all the latest information log onto www.fishingnoosa.com.au for up-to-date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Judy Patterson (right) with Caboolture’s district representative Sue Graham (left) and outstanding young Maroochy River junior Ellandi Findlay.

Today’s weatherman Tim Davies interviews Peter Heiniger while Michael O’Connor (obscured) hits golf balls in the background.

If there’s work to be done... Bangka is an Indonesian island lying off the east coast of Sumatra. It’s the site of the infamous massacre of Australian nurses and servicemen by Japanese troops during World War 11, and it’s one of the world’s major producers of tin. It’s also the place where Judy Patterson learned to play golf. British-born Judy and her husband Dick, who worked in the mining industry, went to Bangka for a three-year stint, but stayed 10 years. “There wasn’t a lot for the wives to do, but they did have a really nice golf course,” Judy said. “So we took advantage of it.” Judy and a group of friends learned how to play, formed a club, encouraged some of the local ladies to join, and began to compete regularly in the afternoons. And, though she enjoyed the game, she would never have dreamed, all those years ago, just how big a role golf would come to play in her life. Judy is the president of Sunshine Coast Burnett and District Women’s Golf, head of an organisation responsible for the management and administration of women’s golf across 29 clubs, from Tin Can Bay to Bribie Island, and from Peregian to Proston. It’s an awesome responsibility but, somehow, Judy manages to find time for a twiceweekly game of golf at Noosa, where she’s been a member since she arrived on the Sunshine Coast, and competes in most of the open days hosted by clubs in her district. Judy and Dick Patterson retired to Australia after their sojourn on Bangka, and settled at Noosa Waters after falling in love with the region during a motoring holiday. “We were here for only a week before we bought our house,” she said. “That was 20 years ago last year.” Judy, by then a keen golfer, joined Tewantin-Noosa and, to her surprise, was appointed captain after a year. Then she was asked to represent Noosa at zone level, soon became zone president and then district vice-president. “I suppose I’m a bit of a control freak,” she said, then corrected herself. “No, that’s not true. I just like to see things done properly.” Last year Judy was involved in a restructure of women’s golf in the region, which saw the amalgamation of the Sunshine Coast and Burnett districts into a single organisation, representing 2400 female golfers. As well as managing the association’s affairs and funds, Judy’s committee organises golf events, including pennant competitions, across the district. They have introduced a new event this year – Race To The Coast, a

competition where golfers accumulate points in nine open days. It is designed to encourage participation in these special showcase days. She’s also helped rewrite and update the district constitution and revamped the way pennant matches are played. “I’m really enthusiastic about modernising and reinvigorating the game, and doing things differently,” she said. Judy’s particularly proud of her district’s role in developing talented young female golfers. She speaks of the success of their junior development squad, and describes how the district funded a camp for a dozen young girls over three weekends at Maroochy River. “They’re coached by experts, develop their skills and get to know one another,” she said. Judy says the appeal of golf for her is not just the competition, but the social aspect – meeting people and making new friends. Noosa Springs goes national Australians all over the country learnt more about Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort when Channel 9’s Today show weatherman Tim Davies presented his half-hourly weather updates from the resort last week. Affable Tim travels the country, delivering weather updates and forecasts each morning from different spots around the nation. With the help of Tourism Noosa, Noosa Springs hosted Tim at the resort, and on Wednesday he presented five live crosses during the course of the show, hosted by Sunshine Beach home-owner Karl Stefanovic and Allie Langdon. He talked about the weather – and how much he loved the resort - from various locations around the property, including the golf course where he interviewed coach Peter Heiniger and Noosa Springs ambassador, former rugby champion Michael O’Connor. Immediately after the show, Heiniger and tennis director Glenn Irwin were flooded with calls of inquiry, and the phones in resort reception ran hot all day, with people seeking information about bookings. Cassie in the mix in big pro event Peregian’s Cassie Porter showed the step up to professional golf was well within her grasp when she fired four excellent rounds to finish the fifth best female professional in the TPS Victoria tournament at Rosebud at the weekend. Cassie, who turned professional just before Christmas, recorded rounds of 67, 69, 68 and 69 for a 72-hole total of 11-under 273. That placed her tied 23rd overall, seventh amongst the women, and fifth best of the female pros in a unique concept that pits profes-

sional men and women, amateurs and juniors against each other in the same event. She’s now played in three professional events, has shown her game matches up with the best, and promises great things for the future. Oh, so close for Kirk Sunshine Beach’s Katherine Kirk missed the cut by a single shot when she played in the LPGA’s Drive On Championship at Fort Myers, in Florida, last week. Kirk shot rounds of 72 and 72, as she regains her touch after the end of season break, in an event won by Ireland’s Leona Maguire. Legendary club pro dies Peregian member John Klatt, for 40 years the head professional at Brisbane’s Virginia Golf Club, died last week. He was 79. Platt moved to the Sunshine Coast after retiring from Virginia and made many friends at Peregian. He was an outstanding golfer, winning the Queensland PGA Championship in 1972 and 1974. He was chairman of the Queensland PGA and a member of the Australian PGA board. Klatt’s funeral was held in Buderim on Tuesday, followed by a celebration of his life at Peregian Golf Club.

Swing at the ball; don’t hit it TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER Believe it or not, one of the worst things you can do in golf is to try to hit the ball. Always remember that it’s called a golf swing and not a golf hit. Intentionally hitting at the ball will lead one into bad habits, such as throwing the club from the top and an incomplete followthrough. Focus more on what you do past the ball, so it allows you to swing through the ball and lead you into a more desirable fuller follow-through. This will allow the ball to become an object in the way of the golf swing and you’ll strike the ball without even knowing it. Your ball will react to what your swing tells it. Good golfing.

Dancing on the line By Alison Taylor If diamonds really are a girl’s best friend, then dancing can give us diamonds – as well as new friends. The health benefits of dancing are increasingly well known and appreciated. A recent Australian study found that line dancing classes offered older participants valuable opportunities to engage in dance and music, be active and experience successful ageing, health and well-being as well as establishing social connections. All outcomes you would have to call diamonds in our lives as we live to older ages. And these are all benefits mentioned by the Sunny Coasters Line Dancing group who meets in Noosaville and Tewantin to regularly dance together. Heather aged 71 loves the friendship and camaraderie of the dance group. “It’s a great way to meet people – and they’re all people who want to dance, to have fun and to get fit,” she said. “I’m more flexible, stronger in the legs and more stable than I used to be and I have heaps more energy. “I’ve had a hip replacement and a back operation and am just thrilled to have found such a friendly and enjoyable way to get fit. I wish everyone could do it.” Line dancing boosts both physical and mental health. Some known benefits include helping to prevent falls, improving posture and flexibility, lifting mood and easing anxiety. Regular line dancing sessions have been found to be effective in treating chronic neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia and depression. Diane, 75, found herself sitting on the couch after two knee operations. Although she had previously been a line dancer, she didn’t

think she would ever be able to dance again. Eighteen months later, Diane successfully participates in a couple of classes each week and says she has more energy and pep. “Sue is the most fun teacher, she’s a ball of energy and has brilliant footwork. She makes it so easy to follow along and learn the steps.” The leader of the Sunny Coasters Line Dancing group is Sue Ravenscroft, an experienced dance teacher of more than 30 years. Having taught, competed, judged, held workshops and demonstrations in both overseas locations as well as in Australia, Sue is now sharing her love of dance with Noosa locals. She often hears a great tune and choreographs her own dances to teach the group. “I’m passionate about sharing and spreading the joy of line dancing. I love to see people having fun and achieving great results,” says Sue. “My motto is anytime, anyplace, anywhere – and I seriously believe in dancing like no one’s watching.” A couple of years ago, Sue’s English parents

visited at the time of their diamond wedding anniversary. The Sunny Coasters did a special performance for them, dancing to a piece of music entitled “Diamonds.” “They were absolutely thrilled,” Sue said. The Sunny Coasters regularly take their fun routine on the road to perform for community groups and are available for private bookings. “The classes are very welcoming,” said another dancer. “I was going to leave the country; I was so sad and depressed. But now, the happiest time of the week is when I’m dancing. The second I set foot on the dance floor; my whole world becomes a happier place.” If you’d like the chance to improve your fitness, memory and brain function, have fun and meet men and women in a welcoming and inclusive class then dust off your dancing shoes. Up to six classes, including beginners’ sessions are available each week if you’d like to find some diamonds in your life. Phone Sue on 0408337262 for more details.

The young sportsmen and women will each receive a grant of $550 or $750, to the total value of $5,550, through the Federal Government’s Local Sporting Champions grants program which supports participants aged 12 to 18 to help meet the costs of participating in sporting events, including travel, equipment, uniforms and accommodation. “Wide Bay has a strong track record in producing skilled and successful sports champions, and I congratulate these outstanding young athletes on their success in this latest round of the Local Sporting Championships program,” Federal Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien said. “The cost of representing Wide Bay at state or national titles can be quite high, especially when long-distance travel and accommodation is required, so this funding will help to ease that pressure on local families, and help our young athletes achieve their sporting goals.” 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 February, 2022

First Grade is hard to beat By Randall Woodley After two weekends of rained-out matches, the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club was able to complete all four scheduled fixture matches last Saturday and came home with three wins. The First-Grade win adds further to their record, which now stands at twenty-two wins in a row and with three One-Day matches left to play they are looking like finishing the season on top of the ladder. FIRST GRADE The team were at home against Nambour who won the toss and decided to bat first on a wicket that looked like it had something in it for both bowlers and batters. There was a howling wind down the ground so bowling from the northern end was a tough ask for any bowler. Nambour survived the first 8 overs before strike bowler Ben Laughlin came on and took 3 wickets in 2 overs to have them 3-13 off 10. They fought back well through the middle with last year’s competition top run scorer, Steve Ledger making a solid 65. However, Thunder bowlers were always on top and the Cutters were dismissed for 134 in the 46th over. Best bowling figures were from Jarrod Officer 3-17, Ben Laughlin, 3-32 and Dom Taylor 2-30. A really good bowling effort with little match practice the last few weeks. The run chase could have proven tricky but an opening stand of 69 between Chris Wright and run machine Lewis Waugh put the game out of Nambour’s reach. Wright went for a run a ball 40 with Lewis finishing 60 not out and Blake Steel 18 not out at the end. Next Saturday the team will play the second one day match against Nambour again, at home. SECOND GRADE After two losses, the team were keen to win this match against the Lighthouses at Caloundra. Losing the toss, Thunder was asked to bowl first which really suited them. Harrison Lea and Ben Giddy were spot on and strangled their openers from the start, Caloundra losing their first wicket in the 3rd over. Tyron De Kauwe, on debut with the club, took a wicket in his first over and finished with 4 for 8. Talon Reichert and Jason Toohey bowled into the wind through the middle of the innings and continued to take wickets. Caloundra were all out for 66. Ben Giddy took 2 for 12 and all the other bowlers took a wicket each. Mark Kratzmann and Harrison Lea opened for Thunder and scored freely until Lea (19) departed with the score at 1-29 after 4 overs. Adam Curry (15 no) joined Kratzmann (16 no) and they saw the team home at 2-67 in the 12th over. It was a very good team effort and the boys will repeat it again next Saturday. FOURTH GRADE The team also played at Caloundra but ended up being defeated. Batting first, the Thunder team experienced highs and lows throughout the innings and finished with 9 for 153. Top scorers were Billy Lloyd-Green 41 and Brendan Wright 27. Batting second, Caloundra went on a run’s spree, hitting every bowler to all parts of the field. Missed early chances were costly but when the team is having a “day”, these things happen. Caloundra simply took their chances and went on with it passing the target in the 15th over. Next week the team will be up against the same team in a 40 overs clash. SIXTH GRADE Due the rain during the week, the team took on Wamuran at home on a synthetic pitch, in a top 4 race to the finals. Winning the toss, the locals elected to bat and started well to be 0-61 off 10 overs. At drinks TNT were 1-91. Shane Gesell, although injured went on to score 68. Bobby McGhee (40) and Max Cooper (45 no) took to the Wamuran bowling and soon had the score at 194 in the 24th over. Cooper and Kent Officer kept the runs flowing and TNT reached 270 by the end of the innings with Kent Officer smashing 68 off 7 overs. Bowling second the Thunder never let Wamuran into the game and they were all out for 106. The outstanding bowler was veteran Bobby McGhee 5 for 31 assisted by Ian Blundell 3 for 19 and Justin Talbot 1-10. Great effort both batting and bowling that should almost guarantee the team second spot, at worst for the March finals. JUNIOR MATCH The TNT Under 13s match against Cooroy-Eumundi was played under lights at Read Park last Saturday night after the First-Grade match. It was an exciting time for the youngsters playing with a pink ball under lights and the TNT team came out

Busy sporting times ahead Rugby The appointment of the A grade captain for the season ahead, regardless of the sport, always has and always will be one of the most important decisions of the year. The right man or woman appointed to this position, will above all be a person of pride, leadership and have the willingness and ability to listen to things that they don’t wish to hear. It is this last virtue that enables the appointed captain to resolve any problem that may arise from within their ranks For the Ray White Dolphins Rugby Union Club, this season’s appointment of Will Christie is no doubt a man possessing such virtues. Will, who takes over from last season’s captain Nick Colvin, a man who walked away with the reputation of having done a top job, has come up through the ranks. Starting as an under 11 junior tells us that here is a player, who played at scrum half, possessing the most important factor of all. Pride. “I am beyond honoured to be named captain of this club. A club with so much history: great captains and players who have been before me. It is truly an honour and a dream come true.” We wish him all the very best. Word from the Junior ranks tells us that Junior registration is now open and the first kit collection is this Friday the 11th. The second collection day will be Friday 18, 4 -6pm. That all important date for the commencement of training, is Tuesday 14 February for U/12 to Junior Colts and Friday March 4, U/6 to Under U/11 from 4pm. For those wishing for more info regarding registration and junior programs this can be found on Noosa Dolphins www. noosarugby.com.au To all at Dolphin Oval from the groundsmen sponsors, supporters’ players and administrators, happy hunting: and have a great season. Little Athletics The two-day carnival for the Noosa Little Athletics, which was held at the Sunshine Coast Athletics Facilities, was indeed a tough one, with athletes being exposed to two days of severe headwinds and showers: however, the loud cheering of the parents provided a great moral boost for the competitors. “This was indeed a great contribution of support, for while cheering them on, the parents were struggling to keep their family tents from being blowen away. The days were indeed were a great example of a team effort with both the athletes and their families pushed to the limits. The carnival was of the utmost importance as a top four finish in their events would see them qualify through to contest their state championships at the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre in Brisbane over three days from the 11th to the 13th March 2022. Regarding their performance over the two difficult days Head Coach Mike Hooper said, “Our athletes, did an amazing job with 30 qualifying through to the state titles, up from 18 last season. This is a great credit to all involved with people helping every week to keep our club running so well. 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 February, 2022

Taya Clayton U12 girls long jump.

Dolphins Rugby Union Club president Will Christie. Some outstanding performances from our athletes were as follows . Luca Gerrard U/13 boys won 5 medals (gold in the 100m and 200m and triple jump plus silver in the 400m and long jump). Taya Clayton also won 5 medals in the U/12 girls (gold in the 100m, silver in the 200m,80m hurdles, long jump and bronze in the triple jump). Jennifer Ladewig U/16 girls was not to be outdone, winning the gold and breaking the regional record for the 300m hurdles in very tough hurdling conditions. “Now its back to training for the next four weeks before we take on Queensland’s best athletes, at what promises to be a successful State Championships for Noosa.” Boxing Our Impact Boxing team from Cooroy has seen several tournaments cancelled: however, some tournaments are now back on the go. March 5 Queensland Novice titles will get bunder way with 10 from the Impact Club competing. However, on the same weekend the Commonwealth Selection Trials will be held at Acacia Ridge. Regarding this Head Coach Mark Evans said ,’’We have two good prospects Keana Welch fighting in the 57k division and Erin Carter in the 70k. If they win through, they have a good chance of selection in the Queensland team: this would see them travel south for the Australian Titles. A win in this would see them eligible for selection for the Commonwealth Games.” In the professional ranks Luke Martin will fight on March 19 at the Star Casino Gold Coast for the Australian Featherweight Title.

Picture: JACK RIDDIFORD Then on April 29 Kieran Whitehead will fight for the Queensland Super Middleweight Title and on the same card Bryce Hegarty will make his professional debut. Then April 30 will be a big occasion for Ben Cameron-Hands. On that evening he will continue his professional career, by having his third pro fight at the Nissan Arena in Brisbane. “It is this young lad that has drawn a lot of attention by winning his first two pro fights, after stepping up from the amateur ranks, where he made history by winning the National Golden Gloves 4 years in a row.” Surf Lifesaving Competition The cancellation of surf carnivals, either because of health restrictions or surf and beach conditions, is becoming a common occurrence. The last one for the boat section occurred last weekend when the Dicky Beach boat carnival was shelved. However, not to be outdone some rowers got together and as a result Coolum and Noosa assembled on Nooses Main Beach for a morning of inter club boat racing. This may seem strange to some but, with the major carnivals the ASRL (Australian Surf Rowers League) Championships and the National Titles fast approaching, the crews must take every opportunity to compete; even if it is just a two- club unofficial event. With a total of 9 crews in attendance, 4 from Noosa and 5 from Coolum, they organised themselves for a morning of competitive racing, that saw all crews racing six times: this gives them a hit out before the commencement of the championship season. The first major

Jennifer Ladewig U16 girls 300m hurdles. will be in a couple weeks’ time with an ASRL Open Carnival :this will be held at Elouera NSW. Organised by boat sweeps, Coolum’s Davie Tomba and Noosas Mick Gardner and Stewie Hooper, the event was a great success. If we are going to take pride in having these clubbies ware their colours and representing our communities in the major titles, then we should also join in congratulating them on taking Saturday Morning incentive: organising their own two club carnival. For our local girl Lana Rogers, competing in last week-ends Nutri Grain Ironwoman Championship Final, was not the ending she had hoped for. Competing at Kurrawa, it was one of the biggest and toughest seas for many a season. From coach Sharlene Kelly a briefing on what occurred. “While contesting Round 4 and sitting in 4th place in the ski leg, she was unavoidable hit by another competitor’s rogue ski (a loose ski from which the rider has been knocked off) and this all but ended her day finishing 19th. This of course cost her any chance of winning the series.” This type of incident in big surf, is not uncommon: heartbreaking that’s surf. In Rd 1 and 2 she was a bit behind, but in Rd 3 fired up to finish on the podium in 2nd place: the rest is now history. Summing up the series Coach Kelly said, “Fortunately she wasn’t seriously injured. However, looking on the positive side her surf skills this season have greatly improved and we now look forward to next year.”

Finalists share a moment after the result.

Women’s champion Moana Jones Young.

Hip-pip for GOAT and Brine Today, 11 February 2022, is a day that calls for a decent bottle of bubbles to be uncorked and enjoyed, and at some point in proceedings, that is exactly what will happen at our household. Firstly, it’s Kelly Slater’s 50th birthday, and what an extraordinary week he’s had leading into it. Secondly, Life of Brine turns 500. Yes, dear readers, this column came modestly into the world on 27 April 2012, at the request of the founding editor of a lively new local paper called Noosa Today. Although it was to revolve primarily around the surfing life, editor Izzy Coleman gave me license to riff on other subjects, funny or sad, spice it up with hot gossip and generally have fun with it. Some 500 columns later, I’m still having fun with it, and hopefully its generally cheerful and cheeky tone is still amusing readers. Now back to the GOAT. A couple of weeks back I gave the Greatest Of All Time a bit of a raspberry on this page for dropping in on a surfer on a perfect Backdoor Pipe wave. (For which Kelly had apologized before we went to print.) Last Sunday I had to wipe the tears away as an emotion-charged Slater threw everything at his Billabong Pipe Pro final against a surfer less half his age who is already acknowledged as the new and fearless master of Pipe. It was extraordinary stuff, and for fans and friends of Kelly, it was an emotional rollercoaster, as it often is with the GOAT. If you questioned the spirit of an almost-manufactured interference called against Miguel Pupo in Kelly’s semi-final (and I did), you could only put that aside and gaze in awe as Slater and Hawaii’s Seth Moniz hugged like gladiators before heading out, already exhausted, to fight to the death – at least figuratively – in big, gnarly, wind-affected Pipeline at its most dangerous and unpredictable. Kelly was as fired up as I’ve ever seen him. Even his great mate, Strider Wasilewski, reporting from the channel, couldn’t believe how much of himself Kelly had invested in this 40-minute heat, muttering mantras to himself, splashing water and giving situation reports to the Waz as he paddled past at full throttle. Then he let it rip, scoring a nine for a technically perfect deep Backdoor barrel (after which he buzzed the beach on the jet ski assist and fist-pumped the crowd like Medina on steroids) and backing it with a solid seven to combo his young opponent inside the first 20 minutes. Seth Moniz is no easybeat at Pipe – at 24 he is already one of the greats – but it took him until the final minute to show it, when these two incredible athletes, a generation apart, traded near perfect scores for deep tubes, giving the big crowd a glorious finish to one of the

The GOAT in full flight. greatest surfing contests I’ve ever witnessed. Think about the circumstances of finals day. To get to it, he had to be content with a first round second behind Australia’s Jack Robinson, 23. In the third round he crushed rookie Jake Marshall, 23, then won a tight battle against rising Hawaiian star Barron Mamiya. Last weekend he faced off first against Japan’s Kanoa Igarashi, 24, a silver medalist at the last Olympics, in the quarter finals and beat him easily. Next he met Brazil’s Miguel Pupo, 30, in the semis and, despite the unfortunate interference call that cost Pupo half his second score, Kelly was always going to win. After two previous 35-minute heats in difficult and taxing conditions, just six days shy of his 50th birthday, wearing just a hint of a spare tyre around his middle, the greatest surfer of all time paddled out and kicked butt. Can you imagine being one of those talented young men who became collateral damage, and being told that your next round heat is against a 50-year-old. In any other circumstances you’d have a smile from ear to ear, knowing you’ve got a free pass to the next round. Not when we’re talking about a rampaging Kelly Slater, quite possibly the greatest athlete of all time in ours or any other sport. It’s 30 years since he won his first world title, 30 years since he first won Pipe. The GOAT was giving away nothing but tears of joy at the

Pictures: WSL beach presentations, but could he go all the way to his 12th world title in 2022? You can’t rule it out. As we went to press the Pipe Pro women’s finals were held in slightly smaller but still challenging conditions. Hawaiian wildcard Moana Jones Young dispatched our Tyler Wright in the semis and went on to beat world champ Carissa Moore in the final. More next week. FOOTNOTE: Craig McGregor, one of Australia’s finest journalists and authors, and a keen surfer in his day, passed away at Byron Bay at the end of January, aged 88. Over the 50 years since I first met him in the back bar of the Hotel Canberra in 1972, he was a friend, mentor and inspiration. Apart from his many invaluable contributions to Australia’s cultural and political history, Craig is the only person to have co-written books with both Midget Farrelly (This Surfing Life, 1965) and Nat Young (The History of Surfing, 1983). I cherish all my signed copies of Craig’s books, and particularly his inscription in Soundtrack For The Eighties (1983) when he advised, “Don’t look back, says Bobbie.” Craig was a Dylan tragic, so perhaps the last word should go the Nobel Laureate, who referenced Craig’s gentle, avuncular style in a cover blurb for Left Hand Drive (2013): “Craig is hip to the hip but not really hip.” RIP Craig, gone but never forgotten.

RENTAL DEMAND DRIVES LIFT IN PRICES PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THERE’S no relief in sight for Queensland’s excessively tight rental market with Noosa among the regions most affected. The Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s (REIQ) Residential Vacancy Report has revealed just 0.1 per cent properties available for rent in Maryborough in 2021, hovering just above zero in a record low across the history of the report. In neighbouring Hervey Bay vacancies were sitting at 1.0 percent in the December 2021 quarter. Meanwhile, Bundaberg (0.4 percent) and Gympie (0.3 percent), also continued to feel the strain, remaining in incredibly tight territory. Queensland coastal tourism centres of Sunshine Coast (0.5 percent), Caloundra Coast (0.6 percent), Gold Coast (0.6 percent), Fraser Coast (0.6), Noosa (0.8 percent) are still in high demand with vacancies hardly letting up. The record low vacancy rates are due Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A six-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 0.06ha at 43 Regency Rd, Doonan, is set for auction Friday, February 11, at 1pm. 267009 mainly to the impact of Covid-19 and the resulting migration to regional Queensland from interstate or high-density urban areas. Employment is another factor with infrastructure projects and increased manufacturing seeing workers on the move. There is also the ability to work from home. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said she couldn’t recall a time where tight vacancy rates were so consistently and drastically low across Queensland, citing Covid-19 creating unique behaviour. “We’re experiencing the perfect storm of low housing supply levels, incredibly high interstate and intrastate migration particularly to our regions, longer length tenancies as tenants choose to stay put for greater security and certainty, and less shared tenancies as people want more space now they’re working from home,” Ms Mercorella said. “A rental market as extraordinarily tight as this presents challenges to the local economy and to the community. “We acknowledge that while current

market conditions are favourable from an investor’s perspective, no one wants to see people struggling to find a place to live, forced into unsuitable housing - such as big families crammed in studio apartments - or living unsustainably outside of their means.” Demand for rentals in Noosa has been driven by people from the southern states of New South Wales and Victoria looking to move to the area. Laguna Real Estate property manager Kelley Drinnan said that until they can buy, they have needed to rent. Often this is in the higher-end of the rental market and it can take six months to buy a property. “The higher-end rental properties are coming back onto the market when they have bought,’’ Kelley said. “They are stop-gapping. “Sales are so tight, they go to rentals.’’ Residential buyers have paid higher prices and are looking for a return to match the investment. Tightest in affordability is the $550-

$750 a week range. Higher priced properties in the $800-a-week range and above are sitting there longer. Transient workers and those in service industries cannot afford those prices. As a result they are looking to the Noosa hinterland and Gympie region. Kelley said Laguna had a magic number of rentals being valued at 30 percent of a tenant’s income. “We are finding that is not readily achievable.’’ Places to look for affordable rentals include Tewantin, where a three-bedroom house that was $550 is now $750-$800 a week. Units are harder to find as they do not readily suit families or those with pets. Houses are in high demand, and they are taken very quickly. Pricing and appraising is becoming more and more difficult as the increase has jumped so fast. What agents were comparing with six months ago has changed, yet it’s hard to justify that to tenants.

The REIQ’s expectation is that 2022 will bring more of the same competition and more needs to be done to relieve pressure on the rental market. “Demand for rental properties in Queensland will continue to rise along with the rising population and that growing population needs a roof over its head,” Ms Mercorella said. “With international borders opening, over time we’ll see returning numbers of international students, migrants, and holidaymakers, and this too will add to the strain on rental accommodation. “Regional areas growing due to new employment prospects will also need to find housing solutions to take advantage of the economic boost a rising population could deliver.’’ ORIGINAL BEACH HOUSE VIBE EXCITES It’s virtually an original 1980s beach house - the character and the vibe is as much of Sunshine Beach as you can get. Little wonder that Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate is excited about the auction this Saturday at 1pm of the fourbedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 7 McAnally Dve. McAnally Dve is a highly sought-after addresses in northern Sunshine. This is a rare 744sq m in Sunshine and the house steps down from the ridge. Looking out from the loft gives an idea of the ocean views that can come into play. “If you were to push out it would take in more,’’ Chris said. “It has such a cool beach house vibe. “The opportunities for the future are very clear.’’ This Sunday Chris takes the twobedroom, two-bathroom penthouse , Noosa Heads, to the market at midday. The response to this impressive apartment has been exceptional, Chris said. “The elevation, the views and the size of the apartment have been an amazing drawcard. “It’s a very popular position within walking distance to Hastings St and with exclusive use of Brooke’s Pool. “The inquiry level has been a really good mix of people with property already in Noosa, from overseas and interstate.’’ SOMETHING SPECTACULAR It’s a spectacular home, one of those that has been built with a good sense of scale,

Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald saw bidding start at $1.7m at 13 Hill St, Sunshine Beach, on Saturday. 267009 of aspect and really nicely finished. Mark Hodgkinson and Cassandra Young of Reed & Co are taking the six-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 0.06ha at 43 Regency Rd, Doonan, to auction today, Friday, at 1pm. “A lot of the feedback has been how everything’s been done,’’ Mark said. “How well it’s been built and landscaped. “We look like having registered bidders from interstate, wanting to relocate. “Now that they can get here and crawled all over it, they love it even more. “And there are locals not knowing something this spectacular is here. They are looking to upgrade rather than renovate their own property.’’ In an elevated position with panoramic views, the property is a blend of modern acreage living with Queenslander charm and elegance, while offering privacy, comfort and entertainment. AUCTION BRINGS BIDDERS TO TABLE The auction process has brought bidders to the table even if there wasn’t a result on the day. Rob Spencer of Sunshine Beach Real Estate had four registered bidders at 13 Hill St on Saturday for the auction of the three-bedroom, three-bathroom house. Architect-designed in the 1970s and immaculately presented, the property included a self-contained studio. Bidding started at with auctioneer

This Saturday, February 12, Kathy Wise at Sunshine Beach Real Estate is taking 32 Solway Dve, Sunshine Beach, to auction at midday. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool is on one level, which is something of a rarity for Sunshine. “It’s really exciting,’’ Kathy said. “There is international as well as local interest and people who have sold down south. “One street from Noosa National Park, if you build up there is the potential for ocean glimpses.’’ On 611sq m with a huge floorpan and bonus studio, the house is a 10-minute walk to the village, surf club and patrolled swimming.

ON THE COVER

DOORSTEP OF LITTLE COVE BEACH, WITH LUSH RAINFOREST ALLURING Little Cove is where the ocean meets the rainforest, and the world-famous 477-hectare Noosa National Park with walking trails and world recognised surfing reserve is on the doorstep. Minutes away Hastings Street and a sophisticated array of boutiques, art galleries and nationally known beachside restaurants and cafes, meets laidback Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay. A stroll from Little Cove Beach in an exclusive enclave, cosseted by the Noosa National Park, is the aptly called Serenity Cove, a highly desirable holiday home with back-to-back bookings. Easy to see why. From the driveway, beautiful frangipanis, heliconia, bromeliads and golden cane palms at the front entrance, are an appropriate nod to the sub-tropics. Open the impressive glass and timber framed door into the pared-back lobby, note the quality build, contemporary aesthetic, warm soft palate and expansive double height windows attracting light through the void and shadow dancing across the honey-hued Tassie oak floors. Look ahead and instantly picture the good life alfresco. A dazzling pool with custom timber sun lounges, surrounded in its entirety by expansive undercover terraces, and complemented by a lush green backdrop, takes complete centre stage. It suggests serious year-round summery vibes and a menu of easy-going days and nights of entertaining and family fun. Over-generous, open plan living and dining spaces in the north and easterly wings, are connected to the terraces via numerous ‘disappearing’ glass sliders which coalesce naturally with outdoors. A few steps down to a pathway lead to the rainforest where tall eucalypts attract koalas, and peace reigns, except for native birds trilling and the creek trickling over rocks. Commensurate in size and favouring a culinary wizard is the extra-large C-shaped kitchen with creamy-white stone benchtops, 2-pac cabinetry including pantry, high-end appliances and two serveries, one opening into the living area, and the other to the poolside terrace. When it comes to slumber time even two families on holidays would have sweet dreams. In the south wing the upper and lower levels both feature a king master suite with floor-to-ceilings windows and identical fit-outs of walk-in robe, dressing room, ensuite with corner spa, walk-in shower plus views of the pool terraces and the

rainforest. On the north side upper level is a third bedroom with three king single beds, built-in robe, ensuite and adjacent store, while the fourth bedroom downstairs along the hallway with a wall of windows looking to the pool, has two king single beds, a walk-in robe and the bathroom is next door. “Serenity Cove’s address is first class,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller, who is taking the property to auction on Sunday 27 February 2022. “The location is a jewel on Australia’s eastern seaboard, and this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of magic so close to many well-known beaches, world-class surf breaks, and the Noosa National Park. “The regular ‘no vacancy shingle’ makes it a sure-fire investment magnet; alternatively, this residence is a sanctuary for those wishing to escape day-to-day life in the city; but either way it is a winner.” Facts & Features: 2

CLIENTS HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN PRIZES LAGUNA Real Estate has just launched it’s $20K Cash Competition where clients have a chance to win one of three cash prizes! Simply list with Laguna between now and the 31st of October to be in the competition with the winners being drawn and announced in November. Last year’s $20K Cash competition was an outstanding success and to celebrate the draw, clients were treated with champagne and cocktails at the popular Gusto Riverfront Restaurant on Gympie Terrace. The winner “Gillian Knight”, a local of Noosa for almost 20 years wrote a beautiful testimonial. “It was an easy decision to choose Laguna Real Estate to market my property when I was ready to downsize. Their professionalism, local knowledge and database of cash buyers were really important factors, and the team are super friendly. They have all been around much longer than me in this small town. I was also fortunate to buy in the area again using Laguna where we worked together to find me the perfect next step, they really listened to what I wanted and they delivered! I feel so lucky to have won this enormous prize! Laguna Real Estate is a company which does so much good work around the community. The whole team is involved with these projects. They would

The staff. have always been my go-to agency, and now I can say they truly will be”. Olivier Miller the Principal at Laguna said “It was a no brainer to relaunch the cash competition due to the fabulous response from our clients who desire to see it again. We wanted to increase our clients chances of winning a cash prize and this year we will be announcing three cash winners. Winners are grinners and we want as many happy clients as possible. Now is a fabulous time to sell as Laguna has a large number of qualified registered buyers who are keen to purchase. If you are thinking of selling and also like the idea on being in the cash draw call one of our experienced sales consultants today on 1800 357 528 for an obligation free property chat”. ●
