Howling good time The sun came out and so did the crowds who flocked to Main Beach last Saturday to see one of the favourite parts of the Noosa Festival of Surfing, the VetShopAustralia Surfing Dogs Championships. It was challenging surf but the pups threw themselves into it. In the end it was an unanimous decision by the judges to award the 2022 Best Wave Award to Team Freddy.

“Opal Jones, Lily Shadforth and Freddy the Pug were on just about every wave and put on a great show for the crowd who just lapped up every second of it,“ one judge said.

Landslip turmoil

By Abbey Cannan

12497020-DL22-21

Noosa Hinterland residents have been impacted by a significant landslip that is expected to block their main road for up to six months.

An area near 359 Black Mountain Road, Black Mountain, experienced the landslip on Friday 25 February as a result of the extreme weather event experienced across the shire.

Black Mountain resident and Noosa Country Cat Hotel owner Amy Langley said the community was stranded for a number of days as their only other road out was flooded.

“A lot of people were cut off from work, school, loved ones, and accessing essentials like visiting the supermarkets or doctor,” she said.

A neighbour highlighted her concern for timely medical attention in the case of an emergency, with no ideal locations for a helicopter to land.

“This is a concern for all of us up here, especially when Andersons Road/Slate Creek is flooded,” Ms Langley said.

“It’s a dirt road which is single lane and very steep with blind corners in parts, so it’s not an ideal road to travel.

“There have been residents close to the landslip evacuated from their homes. These people are the worst impacted, living in temporary accommodation until it’s safe to return.”

Council has engaged a consulting engineer to assess the site and have identified one home where residents are currently not permitted to enter.

Based on advice from the consulting engineer, Council plans to establish an alternate access driveway for this resident to give them pedestrian and vehicle access to their home.

Council is also scoping some improvement work to Middle Creek Road and Andersons

Road while the diversion is in place.

Ms Langley said the landslip had impacted local businesses such as her own, as the distance to reach them has tripled.

“The distance for clients to travel to get to my business has gone from 7km from Cooroy to around 24km,” she said.

“Unfortunately there have been a few cancellations. So it’s a loss in revenue and it’s a fair hit to a small business like mine. I expect that huge impact to continue unfortunately.”

Black Mountain resident and business owner Heidi Veraa wants to see more immediate action from the Council.

“I live behind the landslip and run Sundara Ayurveda Retreat Centre on the opposite side of it,“ she said.

“A business can fold in six months and Council has said that we are a priority, but we’re not seeing any action on that.

“Council says Andersons Road is safe for two-wheel drives but I drove it this morning in a four-wheel drive and there are massive potholes.

“We have guests who are finding the road unsafe as it floods every time it storms. I have staff that we have kept on throughout the whole pandemic. We’re still getting bookings but there’s also a lot of cancellations.”

As bins cannot be serviced at this time, Cleanaway has delivered 20 bins (10 refuse and 10 recycle) to the end of Black Mountain Road for household rubbish and recycling.

“We’re grateful for the bins being put in but there’s 10 bins for between 30 to 50 households and it’s just not enough,” Ms Veraa said.

On Monday 7 March surveyors set up survey pins for monitoring and surveying the extent of the slip.

The temporary 10-tonne mass limit on Pomona Kin Kin Road applied by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads has been lifted, effective Tuesday 8 March.

The temporary load limit was implemented under section 46 of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, in response to the flooding, road closures and impacts to road pavement from the extreme weather event.

The department said lifting the load restrictions would allow community services, local businesses and residents to undertake cleanup and repair activities.

Noosa Council said the Noosa Care Army was ready to roll and it was keen to hear from

any flood-impacted resident who requires help.

If you still need assistance in the clean-up, contact Council’s Community Development team at commdev@noosa.qld.gov.au Skip bins continue to be delivered to floodravaged areas across the shire.

It was hoped residential bin collections would return to a normal schedule on Wednesday, based on access and safety.

Community Recovery Pop-up centres continued across the shire throughout the week with almost 60 people attending in Federal on Monday to gain information on recovery assistance.

The Noosa North Shore Ferry service began operating on Tuesday with restrictions remaining on caravans, trailers, horse floats and campervans.

An environmental disaster in the form of polystyrene particles broken off from pontoons reported to have floated off their marinas in Brisbane during the recent floods has engulfed our eastern beaches.

Maritime Safety Queensland says there are numerous pontoons floating about in Moreton Bay and, unfortunately, the currents have delivered a number of them to the Sunshine Coast where they have been smashed about and broken up.

Many residents have rushed to the beaches to help remove the millions of polystyrene particles that dot the sand and continue to wash in on the waves.

It couldn’t come at a worse time for our turtle hatchlings that are on the brink of making their journey to the ocean and may see these particles as an easy meal.

A preliminary report prepared in Japanese universities on polystyrene waste in the world’s oceans conducted 4000 sand and water samples at deep-sea sites around the world from 2000-2015 and all were found to contain styrene oligomers (SOs), that had been generated from degraded drifting polystyrene (PS). From 1950 to 2015, 4.2 billion metric tons (MT) of SOs were shown to be generated from drifting PS. The SOs in time break down into invisible monomers, considered significant sources of pollution of the marine ecosystem.

So, well done to all those who helped clean up - every little bit counts.

Polystyrene litters beach Residents who’d like to help clean up polystyrene debris along Noosa’s eastern beaches can access rubbish bags at local beach access points.

The polystyrene is from pontoons washed ashore in Noosa after being swept out to sea by the Brisbane floods.

Council and Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) staff spent Monday removing the larger chunks of polystyrene and pontoons from the shoreline.

Acting Environmental Services Manager, Shaun Walsh, said the smaller pieces of polystyrene that would likely continue washing up in coming days posed a serious threat to local marine life.

“We’re seeing waves of polystyrene beads washing up along the eastern beaches. They’re often smaller than beanbag beans but they get into the food chain where they can create all sorts of issues,” he said.

“The more of that small particulate matter that we can remove from the water, the better off our marine ecology will be.”

Council staff are out and about along the beaches during low tide removing polystyrene, while MSQ is coordinating the salvage operation to remove the pontoons.

Mr Walsh praised locals for their clean up efforts over the weekend.

Residents hit the beach to remove polystyrene.

Polystyrene balls litter the beach.

“The Peregian Beach Community Association and the Eastern Beaches Community Bushland Care Groups in particular have done a great job collecting the polystyrene particles to date and we look forward to broader community involvement.”

Mr Walsh urged residents to stay away from sand cliffs – caused by recent big seas – during high tide and to stick to low tide if taking part in clean-up activities.

“We’ll have supplies of clean-up bags at the popular beach access points from noon

tomorrow. Anyone helping with the clean-up is welcome to take a bag to fill up and drop it back to the beach access point when they’re done,” he said.

“Council appreciates residents’ help to protect our local marine life.”

Clean up a long haul ahead Clean Up Australia Day events were cancelled across Noosa Shire last Sunday but some individuals continued their efforts.

At Peregian Beach, the surf lifesaving club and its nippers put in a mammoth effort to reduce the rubbish and styrofoam from smashed pontoons that had been deposited on the beach during the floods.

Noosa councillor Frank Wilkie joined the crew at Peregian Beach and passed on his advice that the Moreton Bay Marine Park was full of similar debris which would continue to wash up on our coastline for weeks.

Marine Services Queensland, responsible for managing marine hazards, has engaged Clayton’s Towing to remove the pontoons from our coastline, including one taken from Sunshine Beach last week, he said.

time and he urged people to continue to leave rubbish at beach access bins for collection.

Other council crews will also be working to address landslips, damaged roads, sewage spills and assist people whose properties were flooded.

The advice is this will be a long-haul, collective effort, Cr Wilkie said.

Cr Joe Jurisevic, who was organising Clean Up Australia Day events, said the recent flooding with rivers and lakes still in flood, and further storms forecast, made conditions unsafe for volunteers, and communities were focused on recovery.

“We will look at rescheduling smaller localised Clean Up events with our community once conditions allow,“ he said.

Flood recovery continues Council water quality testing has shown microbiological contamination levels in Noosa River, Laguna Bay and the open beaches are now within acceptable levels for recreational purposes.

Water levels along Gympie Terrace are still high and residents are reminded to take care when entering the water, as sediment and debris may still pose hazards in local waterways, and elevated pollution levels are possible near stormwater outlets.

Patrolled beaches may be closed if Surf Lifesaving Queensland deems swimming and water recreation unsafe due to debris or dangerous surf conditions.

Unitywater has now advised their sewerage infrastructure is back online across Noosa.

With so many offers of help from local residents keen to support Noosa’s flood recovery, Council has contacted Volunteering Queensland to create a local Noosa Care Army.

You can help support the local clean-up by registering online as a volunteer with the Care Army at register.emergencyvolunteering.com. au/ Anyone impacted by the floods and in need of help to clean up can email commdev@noosa.qld.gov.au for volunteer assistance.

Community Recovery Pop-Ups began Monday to assist flood-affected Noosa locals.

Council’s Community Development Team and staff from the Queensland Government’s Department of Communities will be on hand to provide information about the assistance available.

Visit Council’s website for the list of times and locations - noosa.qld.gov.au/communityrecovery-2022-floods Over the weekend, the Noosa North Shore vehicle ferry will continue to operate from first light until high tide, and resume operations in the afternoon.

The ferry is currently accommodating fourwheel-drive vehicles and cars, but at this stage is not able to transport trailers and caravans.

As floodwaters continue to recede, the arrangements may change.

Several pontoons have washed up on Noosa’s eastern beaches.

Maritime Safety Queensland is inspecting each structure to assess the structural integrity of the pontoons before salvage works can commence.

Where possible, barricades have been put in place to keep people away and Council asks beachgoers to stay clear.

Council crews are out and about removing debris from beaches and coastal areas as the flood recovery continues.

From page 1 Council will then use this data to assess the extent of the work required to address the landslip and advise the community of the next steps, with initial discussions indicating the road could be closed for up to six months.

“The road to get out to Black Mountain is now fairly sacred to us and we need to keep it intact,” Ms Langley said.

“The more sightseers that we get out to have a look at the landslip, the worse our access road will get.

“Our community very kindly asks for the sightseers to be understanding of this and avoid unnecessary travel.”

Ms Langley said the close-knit community has really banded together to support each other.

“There are people who are doing it tougher than us,” she said.

“There are people who have lost everything in these floods, so we feel that we are lucky and we will get through this.

“My husband and I created a Black Mountain Landslide Updates 2022 page on Facebook to assist with important communication and offer support. It’s been wonderful, particularly for those needing to know if the Andersons Road causeway is under water or not.”

Farms rebuild after floods

By Margie Maccoll Local farmers have been hit hard by the recent floods, losing crops, stock and livelihoods.

Among them was Shambhala Farm whose stall was missing from the Noosa Farmers Market for the past two weeks after flood waters inundated their market garden at their Doonan farm and destroyed crops at their sister farms in northern NSW and Lockyer Valley.

It’s the first time in 10 years farm owners Craig and Chrissy Hubbard, with young daughter Birdie, have been unable to bring their produce to market and they have felt the impact for themselves, their staff and their customers.

“Our market garden was inundated,” Craig said.

“Some of the raised beds that have been used for the education centre have survived but that’s not enough to take to market. A lot of bananas survived, some fell over. We had swales around beds that have provided protection and we didn’t lose soil. Some places have lost soil in the torrents. We’re grateful for that.

Some have had it way harder than us.

“Everyone’s safe and that’s the main thing.

We’ve had some help this week, we’ve cleaned up.

“We feel for our customers. We feel a sense of obligation to our customers. We haven’t missed a market for 10 years. The shops have been pretty sparse as well.

“We’re hoping to go to the markets this week.”

Craig said the farm would be able to replant next week and it would take the life cycle of the plants - about eight-12 weeks - to fully rebuild their market garden.

He said the weather event reinforced his belief, one that first became evident in 2020 when Covid hit and shops ran out of food, of the fragility of our food production and the need for all people, even those in units and small blocks to produce some of their own food.

“People who have done our courses and have raised beds can harvest greens that are hard to get. Our food system is so delicate. I feel more strongly that instead of just providing for customers, we need to be educating them so they can have some kind of garden.”

Craig said he would also be transitioning to more resilient crops after seeing crops such as plantain, arrowroot and cassava had continued to thrive.

“The favourite things are harder to grow in flood conditions,“ he said.

“We have to transition to foods that are more resilient. A lot of foods we eat are European foods, they don’t like these conditions.

We should try different foods that are grown in tropical, sub-tropical areas. It’s a big wake up call.”

Last weekend the township of Cooran united to raise money to help their local farmers recover from flood impacts.

Businesses across the town that became isolated during the floods pledged a percentage of takings to the community fund as did the Bunya Bites event held at the community hall.

“We were effectively Cooran Island for a week,” Cara of Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co said. She said animals got lost when floodwaters rose above fence lines and the community was working together to relocate them.

Neighbour and human movement therapist Malcolm said the flood had been 1.2m higher than any he had experienced in 20 years living in Cooran. He said the tight-knit community was used to floods and most houses were built above flood lines, but it would have come as a shock to newcomers.

Cooran’s food co-op, established three years ago to make the most of locally available food, organised Bunya Bites to celebrate the bunya nut harvest and provide people with an opportunity to taste it. The flood and its impact on farmers provided them with a charity for the event.

Quarry court battle starts

By Margie Maccoll In his opening address in the long-awaited case of Noosa Council v Kin Kin Quarry, council’s barrister Mitchell Baty told the Maroochydore Planning and Environment Court on Wednesday 2 March the application filed by council was for relief for the community from haulage trucks in five areas.

In front of presiding Judge Gary Long and with a public gallery filled with hinterland residents Mr Baty outlined Council’s case that centred on the quarry’s non-compliance of its Quarry Management Plan and that the impact of the quarry’s intensification of work constitutes a material change of use.

There has been a failure to avoid convoying of trucks, Mr Baty said.

Trucks have failed to cover loads, which is required in the QMP, apart from haulage of large boulders the quarry has not operated between the QMP-approved operating hours from 6am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 5pm Saturday, the request to reduce quarry trucks on the roads during school bus hours has not occurred, he said.

“All these matter go to the requirements of an approval in 2016 granted by this court to operate in accordance with the QMP.“ The fifth issue relates to whether there has been a material change of use (MCU) on the land.

“The respondents suggest the MCU is determined by two things – the rate of extraction of material from the ground each year and the proper development approval. They say they have an ERA (extraction rate activity) of one million tonnes per year,“ he said.

“We say this has little relevance without the proper development approval.“ Mr Baty said Council’s MCU was not just resolved by the extraction rate but had quantitative and qualitative considerations.

Noosa Council’s current planning scheme,

Noosa hinterland residents hopeful of a favourable outcome from the court case. the number of truck movements on the road, the time of day of operations, resident complaints, impacts on in a rural environment and traffic safety are all considerations, he said.

“It’s inappropriate for tonnage extracted to be the determinant of this issue.“ To support the case Mr Baty and his associate Susan Hedge submitted numerous affidavits from experts including a town planner and traffic engineer, council officers, school bus driver and residents. Included in submissions were measurements of quarry truck movements, photographic evidence and resident impact statements.

The reserves of the quarry are estimated at

24 million tonnes and the quarry life at about 30 years. The QMP that was established for former operator Nielson and not updated since it was taken over by Cordwell Resources about two years ago, outlines activities of the quarry such as safety, ensuring the amenity of the site and environment and fostering good relationships with the local community, Mr Baty said.

A traffic management plan sets out objectives that include managing haulage on the roads that make community safety a priority, that minimise community traffic complaints and ensures no incidents or accidents.

“Complaints are evidence of a very concerned community,“ he said.

Representing quarry operator Cordwell Resources and owners of the land, who did not want to be involved, barrister Errol Morzone, QC, told the court that, in short, the quarry had a development permit to operate as an extractive industry with an extraction limit under a QMP of 1million tonnes per annum.

He said the quarry had a long history of operating approval. It was recognised as a key resource area in the State planning policy, identified as the largest rock resource in the shire and was operated by council from 1995 to 2008, and prior to the QMP of 2016 had no limits on extraction amount or haulage traffic, he said.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Mr Morzone said in 2010 the Kin Kin Community Group challenged the quarry operators, with the court finding the quarry was not limited on amount or size. In 2016 a QMP was set out by council.

Only the provisions of the development approval requires the quarry to be operated under the provisions of the QMP. The QMP is not an approval, it is a management document for the purposes of management, he said.

These allegations deal with breaches of the management plan. What’s been alleged is that breach of the QMP constitutes an offence.

“In this case the council is trying to construe a management document for purposes of committing an offence,“ he said.

Mr Morzone said his client strongly objected to the allegations.

There are only four allegations - travelling during school bus times, operating outside hours, travelling in convoy and with uncovered loads. These are the allegations, not other alleged allegations by material intensification in use. “If there has been intensification of use it has been without authority required,“ he said.

“What is sought is a consideration the development approval has been contravened.“ To support his case Mr Morzone and associate David Purcell planned to call experts including a town planner and traffic engineer as well as quarry operator Martin Cordwell, contractors and employees and submitted a number of affidavits.

With the detail so important to the case the barristers spent hours on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning raising objections to affidavits received, with paragraphs and in some instances sentences ruled inadmissible in the case, before witnesses were called.

Noosa Council officer Gary Dalton was the first witness called by Noosa Council’s barrister Mr Baty and cross examined by Mr Morzone, whose interest was in the location of cameras installed by Mr Dalton to collect information on quarry truck movements.

He was followed in the witness box by Martin Williams, principal of Austraffic, a traffic engineering and information technology business, who Mr Morzone questioned on his methods of obtaining information on truck

Barrister Errol Morzone leaves court with Martin Cordwell. movements and processes of traffic recording and analysis. He was followed by Council’s development engineer Diogo Carrico, who told the court how he recorded breaches by viewing photos from cameras installed by Mr Dalton.

Mr Baty called expert witness, town planner Terence Buckley, who was questioned by Mr Morzone for several hours about the significance of the quarry as a resource, the role of the QMP and the extraction rate of the quarry.

Mr Buckley described the QMP as an inherent link in a planning sense in the approval and conditions and through the management plan limitations are placed on the site and external to the site.

He said the state planning policy goes so far to say the resource was important to the region, not what happens next. The council has to protect the resource but the development approval is subject to normal checks and balances, he said.

“One of the conditions inherent in the rate of extraction is how it is to be carted through a sensitive area. The environment has a particular amenity, a particular value already recognised. The management plan talks about the rural environment. It deals with these things.

There’s evidence there’s been a material change and that’s through the impacts,“ he said.

“There’s a limit to the rate extraction can occur. It’s rural, there are people living there, children going to school there, winding roads. The

people who wrote the plans say we will minimise impact. It’s difficult to see that occurring.

There are expectations these residents in the area must recognise the existence of the quarry but the reasons shouldn’t be put to the scale this has occurred that requires our attention today.“ Mr Morzone called on his expert witness, town planner Steven Reynolds, who told Mr Baty that he didn’t have cause to read the affidavits of local residents or the traffic report from Austraffic.

“I’m aware conditions have been breached in regard to uncovered loads and truck movements,“ he said.

“The approval will authorise the current use or form the basis of the approved development plan.“ The development plan doesn’t place limits on traffic movements, convoying, covering loads. The QMP does deal with these matters. If these have been breached it’s an enforcement question. It’s not a material change of use. It’s a management issue, he said. “In this case the non-compliance is irrelevant in the allegations put in the original application. The impacts are the kind of impacts that are contemplated in the QMP. Every point raised is contained in the QMP for which there are conditions that apply through the QMP. The QMP includes requirements on how quarry trucks are to operate. It’s in a traffic management plan. The community should take into account the relevant approval

has been in place for 30 years,“ he said.

Traffic engineers Stuart Holland (for Noosa Council) and Bryce Trevilyan (for Cordwell’s Resources) followed each other to give evidence.

Mr Holland told the court his analysis of traffic conditions including the pavement width on Pomona-Kin Kin Road of 6-6.5m, (bearing in mind the standard is 7m), road markers close to the pavement and trucks having to move off the pavement to pass made it clear to him how inappropriate the road was for the volume of trucks.

Mr Morzone said crash data since 2010 showed zero accidents.

“If the quarry proposes to send 75 trucks a day improvements need to be make to be safe,“ Mr Holland said. He said his analysis of truck movements through the morning, excluding the first 15 minutes during which there was a rush of trucks heading to the quarry, showed 32 per cent travelled during school bus hours.

With 25 years in the industry and having worked on 80 quarry projects Mr Trevilyan said in his experience quarries initially extracted material at a lower rate before a “ramp up“ period.

He acknowledged there were three categories of extraction approvals - 1-100,000 tonnnes/ annum, 100,000-1million tonnes/annum and 1m plus with Cordwell’s ERA contained in the 100,000-1m tonnnes/annum category.

Mr Trevilyan agreed the width constraints on Pomona-Kin Kin Road made it a challenging experience and accepted it was more challenging with more larger vehicles.

He said Cordwell’s had installed a exit boom gate timed at five minute 15 second intervals to reduce convoying of haulage trucks.

Outside the court Kin Kin residents said the case had been a long time coming and it was good to hear experts telling the court what they had been saying for 18 months.

The roads are unsafe, they said.

“We know people in Kin Kin who don’t go out anymore. They’re too scared to go out.“ The residents said they drive at 40km/hr at heightened awareness which they attribute to being no serious accidents but several had been run off the road.

The case has been rescheduled to resume on Monday 28 March.

Dr Bowden’s lakeside life

By Phil Jarratt On a rare sunny afternoon last week Dr Geoffrey Bowden made himself comfortable in his favourite deck chair, looked out across the trees and mangroves to the magnificent expanse of Lake Doonella and said to his guest: “Until a month ago we had 100 black swans out there, the most we’ve ever seen.”

After more than 50 years looking at this view from the house he and wife Carolanne built in 1971, there was still a touch of wonderment in the voice of the octogenarian as he described in great detail the workings and natural wonders of the shallow lake that might not be his, but for which he clearly feels that he is a guardian. Not fussing or stressing, just quietly overseeing its maintenance and offering advice.

To be honest, I had expected the meeting to be somewhat adversarial, since I had written several articles presenting the views of the Tewantin community group who want to see a public walkway created along the western shore of the lake.

The good doctor (retired 1997) had written to me complaining about the “disinformation campaign which has sucked you in apparently, and [created] a lot of stress for my neighbours.”

But after a brief dance around the issues, we were settled on the balcony and were amicably swapping fishing stories.

“Before my time here the lake was full of mud oysters and mud crabs, but the oysters were wiped out by over-harvesting,” he said.

“Still the odd mud crab though.”

He continued his education of the writer with enthusiasm.

“The strange thing is the swans. I reckon they’re like the pelicans at Lake Eyre.

“They know when the feed is here from the weather conditions over months. Apart from the green stuff around the edges, they like [to eat] the ribbon weed which only grows in the salty water. When we get a lot of fresh, like now,

Dr Geoffrey Bowden at home at Lake Doonella. it bowls it over.

“The best bird time here is winter, when everything is calm and boils of prawns come out of the creek. Then we get cormorants and pelicans. The jabiru only come when the water is really smooth and when it’s a certain depth, usually early morning. We only get one or two, but they’re amazing to watch, the way they dance around chasing the fish until they can grab it with their beak and put a foot on it while they eat it. But we can go three years and not see a jabiru.”

Born and bred in Brisbane, Geoff Bowden was a frequent visitor to Noosa in his early years, but after graduation and a couple of years at Royal Brisbane, he and mate Des Milliner headed west. Des went to Blackall while Geoff became hospital superintendent at Hughenden.

“Actually I was the only doctor for many ki-

Pictures: ROB MACCOLL lometres in all directions,” he said.

“At 25 it was quite a responsibility.”

Des Milliner didn’t last as long in the bush as Geoff, and in 1968 he moved to Noosa where he and a partner bought out the Noosaville practice of Dr Arthur Harrold, co-founder of Noosa Parks Association. But in 1970 Des phoned his friend and explained that the partner had gone “a bit troppo”. Would Geoff like to come to Noosa and join the practice?

Within a few months Geoff and Carolanne and their three young children had moved to Noosa and found a large, skinny, sloping block that stretched from Poinciana Avenue down to Lake Doonella. I asked Geoff to describe what he saw, and we both stood up to better take in the scope.

“There were cattle grazing over on the other side where the she-oaks are. It was just beautiful, looking down on the lake and beyond.

Wifey marched down the back here, stood on the bank and said, this’ll do!

“The story goes that the stage coach used to go through my land coming down from Cooroy. There was a little cottage up the front near the road but it was on this big long block going back to the lake, and that’s what interested us.

“We initially only had one block wide but we asked the bloke next door if he’d sell, and he walked us up the hill as far as he was willing to sell and we amalgamated that into ours.

Over the years we’ve added another two more pieces. Now we’ve got nearly two acres.”

The Bowdens commissioned a house from Job and Froud, the Noosa architects du jour who had a showroom on Hastings Street and whose trademarks were cooling breezeways and big verandahs, and when the large and airy home was finished it featured in all the papers. But there was just one hitch.

Noosa Council had planned and surveyed a major thoroughfare to run along the western shore from the Doonella Bridge to St Andrews Drive, and land resumption orders were already in place.

Geoff took up the story: “We more or less thought we were stuck with it. There was no resumption order on our property because the road would be over water, but most of the properties from Moorindil Street to the bridge had resumption orders on them because the plan was for the road to cut across the land at that point. At least one friend of mine made them pay up once the order had been made and he got $40,000 and then got his land back when they abandoned it.

“In the end we didn’t have to fight, it went away by itself. They would have had to build a big rock wall and destroy all the mangroves, and they realised that all it would be doing was sending traffic into Noosaville and creating a bottleneck with nowhere to go.”

I asked Geoff how he would have felt if the road had gone ahead.

“We would have learned to live with it,” he said.

Despite the heavy workload he shared with Des Milliner, being the only GPs between

got one on its edge on a big tide, the rudder would be scraping the bottom.”

Many years after the planned vehicular road was abandoned, then Councillor Olive Macklin proposed a pathway along the edge of the lake beside the mangroves.

The lakefront residents objected strongly.

Geoff Bowden recalled: “There are dozens of different species of mangroves but the tight little ones we have here, you just cannot build a pathway through them. It was costed by council and it was estimated at over a million dollars, so it never went any further.”

Geoff sees parallels with the current advocacy for a pathway, although as this writer understands it, what is proposed is a path along the grassy bank.

He said: “They haven’t specified what kind of walkway they want but the group is demanding an immediate result, not understanding that the area is within the intertidal zone so you have to go through government planning, as the sewerage line had to. The up-

“I’ve walked across this lake with a kid on each hand and pulled up with a big stingray in front of me,” he recalled, pausing to reflect on a cherished memory.

“You just splash the water with your foot and they’re gone.”

He meant the ray but we were both thinking about our grown kids.

One of their neighbours was a retired fisherman and he lent the family his net boat. Said Geoff: “He had a pathway through the mangroves and on the other side he had his net boat pulled up on these sloping poles to keep it away from the worms. The mangrove roots have taken it over now.

“We’d row across and put pots in or take the kids for a ride and our labrador would swim behind. The kids all loved it.

“We sailed Hobie Cats on it, and when you

He continued: “A slasher appeared one day on my fence-line and slashed along my boundary and disappeared. Next thing they all start walking up and down to create a pathway, people, kids, dogs. Luckily for them, the tides were low at that time or they would have been wallowing through mud. That’s when it got confrontational.”

Although that has now calmed down somewhat, the issue still simmers around Tewantin.

I asked Geoff, given that he said he could have lived with a road between him and the lake in the 1970s, how we would feel if a pathway was allowed.

“I’ll be dead by then,” he laughed, and then continued more thoughtfully: “I’d have to accept it, but what is it going to achieve?

“At mangrove level, they won’t see water, but often they’ll be walking through it. Would I go to court to stop it? No. I’d just suggest that councillors see a psychiatrist.”

Festival focus on women Surfing has until recently lagged behind other sports in recognising women as equals, but there is no better sign that the glass ceiling has finally been shattered than the focus on women at this year’s Noosa Festival of Surfing.

The festival’s celebration of Queensland Women’s Week kicked off last Friday evening at a SurfAid fundraiser in the Beach Bar with a fascinating chat show featuring three women who in different ways have reached the pinnacle of achievement in surfing. Festival regular and seven-time world champion Layne Beachley was joined by Rip Curl chief executive officer Brooke Farris and rising surf star and ecowarrior Pacha Light in a session moderated by surf journalist Nick Carroll.

Layne and Brooke recounted tales of tough love from older brothers and having to fight the boys for waves as they rose to prominence in surfing, while Pacha, growing up a generation later, revealed that while a lot of the prejudice had been broken down, there was still room for improvement.

On Saturday, for the first time in the festival’s three-decade history, a woman, Noosa World

Surfing Reserve president Kirra Molnar, led the traditional paddle-out to open the event.

While competing in the professional and teams events at the festival, Kirra also made time on Tuesday to join in an International Women’s Day celebration in the Beach Bar, featuring Tracey Naughton’s She To Sea art exhibition and guest speakers.

While the men’s surfing divisions still outnumbered the women’s, female competitors of all ages praised festival organisers for presenting perhaps the “least blokey” event ever.

Turtle hatchling loses battle to plastic poisoning The death of a baby turtle named Kiwi is a stark reminder of the real world impacts of plastic pollution, especially microplastics, in our oceans, says SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium.

The baby green sea turtle, estimated to be about three months old, was found last week by a member of the public, washed up on Sunrise Beach amongst a pile of plastic rubbish on the sand.

Kiwi was brought to the aquarium where glucose and fluids were administered to com-

bat Kiwi’s weak and lethargic state.

After three days of rehabilitation Kiwi began to eat, however, with this came the realisation that Kiwi had ingested a number of microplastic pieces which began passing through the turtle’s digestive system.

Tragically, after six days in care, little Kiwi passed away, with the cause of death considered to be internal damage due to microplastic ingestion.

“Turtle hatchlings are very susceptible to ingesting microplastics at their young age as

they cannot dive into the depths of the ocean to hunt for food as their parents do.

Hatchlings can often mistake pieces of microplastic for food, which as we have seen in the case of Kiwi, can have deadly consequences,” Aquarium vet nurse Brittany Attwood said.

CSIRO research from 2020 suggests that there are 14 million tonnes of microplastics on the sea floor globally, which is more than double the amount of plastic pollution estimated to be on the ocean’s surface.

Turtle hatchlings like this one are vulnerable to plastic poisoning.

Remarkable market time The 2021 annual report card for the Noosa property market makes for interesting reading in extraordinary times.

Adrian Reed of Reed & Co Estate Agents said it was a truly remarkable period in real estate history to reflect on, both for Noosa and for the greater Sunshine Coast region.

“It’s a year that has paved the way for a very bright future for Noosa,’’ he said.

“The tension in the Noosa property marketplace in 2021 was palpable and if it wasn’t on the radar as one of the country’s hottest property markets, it certainly is now.

“Price records have been re-written daily, and the sense of urgency to secure blue-chip property is at a level we have never experienced.

“The common misconception is that there is a limited supply, however, the statistics show that the number of sold properties is the highest we have seen in the last three years.

“The newfound sense of scarcity has been driven by the speed that properties are being sold.’’

Shorter days on market meant that stock was not lingering or accumulating on the market, Mr Reed said.

In some cases, discouraging sellers from releasing homes to the market in the fear that they won’t find the right property when they had successfully sold.

“The reality is there were ample great buying opportunities. It’s a year where the old saying fortune favours the brave rang true.

“Noosa’s market has matured beautifully it’s grown from being a relatively volatile market 10 to 15 years ago, to a highly desirable lifestyle market with a strong base of permanent residents underpinning growth.’’

Mr Reed said there was no single reason for the most recent acceleration in the growth more a combination of factors.

“The existing underlying drivers that have

Noosa Heads: A highly desirable property market. 269916 been supporting a buoyant market over the past five years have been tree-changers and sea-changers, positive migration, and holiday home buyers.

“Since the pandemic, we now have to add financially capable families moving away from densely populated urban areas to the mix.

“Couple that with prestige holiday home buyers that are facing limited international travel fuelling the super-premium market and you have the strongest market conditions in the country.’’

In the latest Corelogic property data, the median house price in Noosa Heads grew by 37.8 per cent, while neighbouring Sunshine Beach, which shares the Noosa Heads postcode, increased by a massive 44.5 per cent.

Picture: GREG CARTWRIGHT

Noosaville, which includes Noosa Waters, has also experienced very strong performance jumping 45.7 per cent.

The median price for a house in Noosa Heads is now $2.04 million, while Sunshine Beach is at a staggering $2.45 million.

Noosaville is close behind at $1.91 million.

“Low-interest rates and population growth are likely to underpin the market growth for 2022, and the prospect of international borders opening is likely to drive increased demand,” Mr Reed said.

For Reed & Co, 2021 was a year of significant milestones and proud achievements, both as an organisation and as a high performing sales team.

Adrian Reed of Reed & Co Estate Agents. 269916 “As a group we surpassed $500m in sales, a milestone that has taken many agencies over a decade to achieve, whereas we have been able to do that in just three years.

“The most pleasing result is that the rate of growth for our agents has been three to four times’ the growth rate of the market as they have built momentum in a strong market.’’

Of particular significance, 2021 also saw the welcome return of the company’s charity gala event in collaboration with the Loyal and Humpty Dumpty Foundations.

Along with the help of the generous Noosa community, $437,000 of urgently needed paediatric medical equipment has been purchased for local and regional hospitals.

MEET THE PRINCIPAL

Troy Ascott Noosa District State High School’s principal Brett Burgess celebrating the outstanding academic results of 2020 graduates.

High praise

By Abbey Cannan School principals in the Noosa Shire are being commended for their dedication to the safety and education of their students after leading the way through multiple disasters in recent years.

Often overlooked, principals are the glue holding the entire school community together, supporting and guiding teachers and staff, and setting the tone for productive learning environments.

Throughout the past few years, principals have guided their schools through the Covid-19 pandemic, bushfires, and recent floods that have devastated parts of South East Queensland.

A bushfire emergency situation was declared at Peregian Beach in 2019, which forced the closure of Peregian Springs State School and Coolum State High School.

As many students were already on their way to schools, staff ensured their fire evacuation procedures had been followed.

In 2020, restrictions and school closures as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic meant many students globally could not physically connect with their peers and teachers, but principals held down the fort and continued to lead from afar.

Following the recent closure of schools in the Noosa Shire due to the impacts of storms and flooding, Education Minister Grace Grace thanked school communities in South East Queensland for the ongoing clean up efforts.

“I want to thank principals, school staff, and our entire school communities for the hard work that they’ve already put in, and for their ongoing efforts to get our schools open again,“ Ms Grace said.

“It is this amazing community spirit which will help us to get through this crisis.”

Throughout these testing years, principals have continued their commitment to leading graduating cohorts to a bright future.

Remember to take the time to thank the educational leaders of your school.

Troy Ascott started as Principal at Coolum State High School in September, 2017. In that time, Coolum High’s numbers have grown from 960 to 1470 students and the school has experienced considerable success in both its academic and extra-curricular programs. Troy has worked as a Teacher, Head of Department, Deputy Principal and Principal at a wide range of settings throughout Queensland including Cloncurry, Roma, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Prior to becoming Principal at Coolum High, Troy was Principal at Shailer Park State High School in Logan. Troy’s fundamental belief is that a good education is transformative and that the effects of one transformed life lasts for generations. Troy believes in the learning potential of all students and that good teachers have a profound effect on students’ lifelong outcomes.

Troy has set Coolum High on a path where all students strive to a live a life of choice, not one of chance. Under Troy’s leadership Coolum High has established Academy Programs in cheerleading, basketball, surfing and instrumental music; and Development Academies in AFL, netball, chess and robotics. Coolum High is committed to the success of every one of its students and is prepared to do ‘whatever it takes’ to see students’ succeed.

Host custom wine tasting

By Abbey Cannan With the help of local business Wine Press #1, you can host your own custom wine tasting party for friends, family, and colleagues around Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.

Led by owner/operator and wine professional Lisa Vanska, you and your guests will enjoy world-class wines, learn more about their origins, and have lots of laughs along the way.

Lisa said tastings were a fun and interactive way to learn about wines of various styles and varieties, all handpicked according to your preferences and enjoyed from the comfort of your home or function space.

“Wine Press #1 was born out of a love for wine that goes beyond taste,” she said.

Having travelled the world for five years, Lisa has had the privilege of tasting incredible wines and speaking directly with winemakers worldwide. This is what empowers her to create an international wine tasting experience from the comfort of her clients’ own home.

“Many wines can’t be found at your local bottle shop. Where possible, I use the wine tastings to shine a spotlight on the best boutique wineries Australia has to offer,” Lisa said.

By creating an educational and fun gathering with friends or colleagues, she hopes to heighten her clients’ appreciation for wine.

“At the end of a tasting session, everyone should leave feeling more curious about wine than ever before.” Lisa said.

An educator for 30 years, she knows how to present content in an articulate and engaging way.

NoosaCare’s Dementia Cafe is looking for sponsorship for community packs that support both an individual living with dementia and the carer.

Facilitated by Danah Wood from NoosaCare, the cafe runs every fortnight at various indoor and outdoor venues within the community and provides a welcoming, stigma-free setting for the group to socialise.

“Dementia doesn’t just affect individuals, it can impact entire families and networks of friends and loved ones,” Danah said.

“Often people with dementia feel the need to withdraw from their community due to feeling like society does not understand their condition.

“This was why NoosaCare created the dementia cafe in 2018, as a space where people with dementia and their loved ones can feel understood, respected and supported as they navigate the condition.”

In recent years, NoosaCare produced a dementia-friendly Noosa community memory support pack to assist or support those living in the community with dementia.

“We want to expand on what we already do to ensure that we are supporting the struggling carers with the tools they need to

navigate caring for a loved one with dementia,” Danah said.

“We are seeing our carers struggle and ultimately become unwell from the stress and concern that they take onboard with the caring role.”

NoosaCare’s New DementiaLiving Community at the Carramar site has been created to support the community when the carers can no longer provide this support themselves.

The new site was developed to facilitate leisure and recreation programs that challenge and enhance the social, emotional and physical wellbeing of the residents in a living environment that reflects our Noosa way of living.

NoosaCare chief executive officer Megan D’Elton said it’s important that you are not afraid to challenge the norms of design and building for residents living with dementia.

“Don’t be afraid, be creative,” she said.

“There is no limit to what you can create for building design, decor and gardens. Always ask yourself, would I live here.”

The Rotary Clubs are now seeking the help of the wider local community in a similar vein to the recent raising of $20,000 to support residents of the Maryborough region following the recent floods in that region.

They now hope that the local community

will assist them in supporting the residents in our own backyard.

President of the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads Geoff Bone, who is co-ordinating the new appeal, said, “I would like to thank local residents for their kind donations to the Maryborough appeal and I hope that this generosity will continue.“ Mr Bone said the appeal would focus on supporting residents in the Noosa and Sunshine Coast Hinterland areas affected by flooding. However, support will be given in other affected areas where there is an established need and funds allow.

Rotary will work with the local Councils and welfare support groups to provide support to individuals and families that have suffered significant loss of possessions or damage

to property, particularly where they do not have insurance cover.

Rotary will work with local Councils and other organisations to identify individual residents that require assistance. An initial point of contact can be through the Noosa Council popup locations and other community support organisations to identify residents that require assistance.

Mr Bone said, “Rotary will also liaise with local schools to establish what school supplies students may have lost in the floods and provide support through the schools where necessary.“ Examples of what Rotary supported with funds from the Maryborough appeal included new furniture, appliances, linen, and other household necessities. Support was also provided by referral to other organisations where

those organisations could provide targeted assistance to complement the Rotary funding.

Support also went to schools to provide school books, new uniforms and additional clothing so students could go back to school fully equipped.

All donations will be managed by Rotary volunteers and every dollar donated will go directly to beneficiaries in the form of goods, equipment and the like. No direct cash payments will be made to affected individuals. No administration charges, no fees and no other deductions will be made to the funds donated.

Researching eco-anxiety

A tree planting event will form part of research on youth eco-anxiety.

“Tree planting is a positive action that can be undertaken relatively simply but is often overlooked in its importance in the fight against climate change.

“This study aims to find out whether participants’ concern is changed as a result of participating in a tree planting event, which

aims to plant enough trees to offset their car’s carbon emissions,” she said.

The tree planting event will run during March and April. It will not only be helping to assist the Noosa community reach its target of zero emissions by 2026, it will also aid in the revegetation and restoration of native

habitats for wildlife.

Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation will provide $10,000 to support the research.

A Central Queensland University eco-anxiety research project in the Noosa Shire aims to understand why people, aged 18-35, suffer ongoing feelings of hopelessness and despair about the future due to climate change, and how they can overcome their concerns by taking action.

Recent statistics show that 75 per cent of young Australians think their future is frightening, and 84 per cent were worried about climate change.

Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation chair Rowan Rafferty said this research could help provide answers on ways to improve wellbeing within our community.

“The Noosa Biosphere Reserve has recently experienced climate change evoked environmental disasters, from bushfires to severe wet weather, which are likely to have a detrimental impact on the mental health and wellbeing of citizens, in particular our young people,” said Mr Rafferty.

“Our Foundation is proud to work with partners in supporting this research project to help better understand how positive action and engagement can contribute to improved mental health.”

Along with supporting partners, Noosa Council, Zero Emissions Noosa, Greenfleet, and Noosa Landcare, NBRF’s funding will enable the 12-month long project to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program to decrease levels of eco-anxiety.

Led by Annie Nolan, PhD Student at Central Queensland University, the project team will engage 150 participants and evaluate the impact of their pro-environmental behaviour on their levels of concern.

“Data collected through Headspace Australia has found a sudden spike in the incidence of emotional distress in people aged 18-35 was directly related to mounting anxiety about catastrophic global climate events,” said Ms Nolan.

Solar initiative launches The J Theatre Noosa was the setting for the successful Zero Emissions Noosa Event – Solar for Strata: A New Era. In addition to Councillors Brian Stockwell and Amelia Lorentson, Noosa Council’s Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie was on hand to help launch the initiative and remarked, “It’s a pleasure to help ZEN launch the Solar for Strata: A New Era event today which follows the work begun with the Solar Strata Master Class back in March 2020 at the RACV resort. In 2018 there was 29MW of solar installed in the Noosa Shire. That figure has now grown to at least 71MW. This means, that instead of flowing to electricity providers, an enormous cash equivalent now remains in the hands of Noosa businesses and residents, enriching the local economy”.

This was the first major opportunity in two years for ZEN Inc. to bring industry participants together in this journey alongside ZEN Inc members, Noosa Councillors and Tourism Noosa representatives Melanie Anderson and Juanita Terry Bloomfield.

Over 40 attendees were treated to informative and inspiring presentations highlighting the New Era for Solar Strata after the successful installation of a solar revenue model at Noosa Lakes Resort, where the body corporate diverts income from electricity retailers to the body corporate community by supplying them solar electricity. Industry experts Ian Wright, Gareth Duggan and Andrew Davidson mapped out why solar makes sense and how body corporate teams in the Noosa Shire can go solar and increase revenue through this new process.

Tourism Noosa chief executive office Melanie Anderson said the Noosa Lakes Resort’s successful outcome shows that solar strata is a “no-brainer”.

To help guide body corporate committees through the process, Gareth explained “a dedicated solar champion helps to speed up the process and avoids fatigue. Start saving earlier by enlisting the help of someone with experi-

Vivien Griffin, Sandy Guthrie and Meghan Halvorsen at the launch. ence”. Ian Wright is that person with the experience and passion to get you there.

A key element in ZEN’s project plan is for Ian to work with the “Lucky 8” body corporate committees to develop an individualised feasibility study identifying the key legal, technical, and financial hurdles for their situation and a plan to overcome them.

“Noosa Lakes, has delivered such a great revenue solution and I’m just keen to encourage all bodies corporate to get on board to help reduce emissions, whilst creating a new revenue stream for your communities,” Ian said.

Attendees and any other body corporate

Picture: SUPPLIED

representatives that are keen to know more about this initiative are encouraged to go to the ZEN Inc. web page, complete the nomination form and be in the running to be one of the Lucky 8 body corporates to benefit from this Council-funded assistance. Andrew Davidson is certainly encouraging his portfolio of clients to nominate for the “environmental and economic returns that solar for strata can bring”.

With the current unprecedented weather events bringing torrential downpours and flash flooding to areas across QLD and NSW, there is no better time than now to take ac-

tion. Going solar is one of the best solutions to preparing for a new future aiming to achieve Council and ZEN Inc’s goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Noosa Shire by 2026. An increased uptake amongst the Strata sector would be a great step towards this goal and with the support and experience being offered through this program (made possible through a Noosa Council grant) we can all be assured that our goal is within reach!

ZEN Inc. will be documenting and publishing the lessons learned from these eight case studies so that others can follow in their footsteps.

Enjoy your pool all year From the sand to the hinterland, the owners of new local Coolum business Endless Summer Pool Care want you to enjoy relaxing by your pool all year round.

With a strong local connection to the coast and a long history working in the aquatic and leisure industry, lifeguarding and pool management, brothers Nik and Sven Knudsen are the perfect duo to rescue your pool and keep it sparkling.

“We are a lucky bunch to be living on the Sunshine Coast. Who else can boast to have an endless summer… why let winter interrupt an endless summer?” says Nik. “At Endless Summer Pool Care we want to create the ultimate pool service experience for our clients.

As a small family-run start up that’s less than six months old, we have already made a splash on the coast with our fixed price pool services. No hidden or additional costs for chemicals added.”

The business name pays homage to the cult surf movie, The Endless Summer, which the brothers watched with mates over and over growing up.

“The movie’s theme song by The Sandals was a soundtrack to our youth,” says Sven, “as is the movie’s main themes of following your passion, globetrotting and loving what you do.”

So, it makes sense they would want to share this with the Noosa community and provide a service offering which is unlike any other.

The industry is competitive, but what sets Nik apart from others is his personalised ap-

proach to your pool specifications that incorporates maintenance to all areas within a backyard and swimming pool area, offering fixed priced services and advising pool owners to be conscientious about pool safety, mainly eliminating chemical hazards and other pool risks.

“Details of the service and digital water analysis is emailed directly to the client. Water balance is achieved and based on precise results, no excessive chemical dosage or chemicals left on site, so you can focus on relaxation and fun. Your pool and backyard are a place of enjoyment and where memories are made, but don’t let safety slip,” says Nik. “From the outdoor barbecue to the family celebration, we know the value of those memories and enjoying them in a space that looks and feels special. It’s important to keep the pool healthy by maintaining pH, salt and chlorine levels, combined with regular cleaning and maintenance of expensive and complex filtration systems. Whether it’s your home or a rental property, everyone benefits from a clean and safe pool environment.”

Give Nik a call on 0410 076 192 or email nik@endlessummer.com.au.

Ordinary folk can turn out to be not so “ordinary” as they show off their impressive brain matter in this lighthearted and fun game show.

But plunk a few celebrities into the mathematical and alphabetical flurry and the entertainment level goes up a few decibels. This week, host Michael Hing (pictured) is joined by comedians Benjamin Law, Concetta Caristo, Bob Downe and Carlo Ritchie in a test of their word and numerical resourcefulness.

After more than 30 years of stories revolving around the intersection between religion and life, recently Compass has branched out with a series of “sacred space” episodes. This week, these insightful and intimate instalments return with journalist, podcaster and TV host Marc Fennell opening up his safe space: the kitchen. He chats with host Geraldine Doogue (pictured with Fennell) about his Pentecostal upbringing, multicultural family, complex relationship with food, as well as his hopes for Australia.

SCOTLAND: ESCAPE TO THE WILDERNESS SBS, Monday, 7.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK THE TEACHER ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

Starring Sheridan Smith (Gavin & Stacey, pictured), there’s more than a whiff of melodrama and cheesy dialogue in the four-part British drama. The Teacher is a wayward cocktail of inappropriate behaviour, jealous colleagues and backstabbing friends, which all sounds very promising until it gives you a headache. Is it the story of a popular teacher going off the rails, or a case of some bad decisions and nefarious students? Time will tell, if you choose to partake in this fizzy tale of a flawed female.

It all begins to go pear-shaped as English teacher Jenna Garvey (Smith) is accused of sleeping with her pupil after a night out celebrating a promotion.

The past couple of years have highlighted that escaping to some sort of wilderness is high on many peoples’ wish lists. But we can’t all just pack up and leave, which is where this charmingly therapeutic series punches above its weight. It features wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin (pictured) adventuring with celebrities through Scotland’s picturesque landscapes. This week, actor Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) joins Yassin in the Inner Hebrides and the Isle of Mull.

Michael Kiem using the smoker to calm the bees while he checks the hives. 269073

Michael Kiem checks the hives in the queen bee apiary. 269073

The fascinating life of bees - there’s more to these essential insects than first meets the eye.

ERLE LEVEY takes a deep dive into the hive.

There’s a buzz in the air Bees are branded by their keepers when they are born and counted back into the hives of a night.

That way the beekeepers know if any of them are missing.

That’s just one of the little-known facts I was presented with this week.

Well, that was what the beekeepers tell cattle farmers.

All jokes aside, after a visit to Denmar Apiaries at Cloyna, just to the north of Gympie, I am just amazed at the life of bees.

We had to contend with them on the farm while we were growing up - especially in spring when there were blossoms from the fruit trees and flowers on the clover in the paddock.

The satisfying thing about being stung was you knew that the bee would die.

How things have changed.

We have learned the vital importance of bees to keeping this planet healthy and with food for the future.

Bees are under threat and with that comes the chance to look at our own time on Earth.

Pesticides are the main threat to their survival, as well as deforestation and even the amount of work we give them to do.

Someone who understands bees is Michael Kiem, who has been running Denmar Apiaries for 12 years with his wife Crystal, and their children Ruby and Hayden.

Yet Michael’s story started when working for the previous owners Dennis and Margaret Kidd. That was when he was a schoolboy.

Having grown up on a dairy farm at Wondai, Michael started with Dennis and Margaret in 1997, but they had founded Denmar at least 10 years before that.

Their place was just down the road from Michael and Crystal’s 40-acre property.

It is an ideal spot for beekeeping. Surrounded by gumtrees yet handy to town for services - most of all the courier services.

Denmar specialise in breeding queen bees.

Honey is the by-product - what is collected along the way.

I didn’t know queen bee culture was such a substantial part of the industry.

There are only a handful of queen bee producers in Queensland yet their importance to the beekeeping industry is immense.

The queen bees are responsible for laying the eggs to keep up the life cycle of the hive.

With that comes the essential service the bees provide in keeping the world’s population in food.

About 80 percent of food production is dependent on the pollination by bees to produce fruit and vegetables.

On the road up to the farm I pass a couple of Denmar utes as two of the team head out to check the hives that are scattered among the eucalypts.

Along the driveway are sculptures made out of old mechanical parts as well as heritage 26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 March, 2022

Bees live 40 to 90 days. In that time, they work incredibly hard to produce maybe a teaspoon of honey over their entire lifetime.” farm machinery - giant-sized bees on sunflowers, mosquitoes, pigs that fly.

It’s a bit of fun but helps tell the story of Michael’s journey.

Then the smell of honey signals you have arrived at the apiary.

Michael comes out to meet me, complete with insect-proof veil over his face.

Apart from that he is regularly dressed like any farmer. Broad-brimmed hat, shirt, shorts and boots.

Where are the overalls, the full body protection?

“I started out working a couple of days a week with Dennis and Margaret after I left high school,’’ he said.

“I didn’t like it at first … I got stung a few times.

“I used to put linseed oil on my boots to protect them, but that attracted the bees.

“We worked out what it was … and left the boots to fend for themselves.’’

The Cloyna area is so good for bees, with the diversity of trees and some agricultural crops.

There used to be a lot of cropping but that has given over to grazing more and more in recent years.

Michael got extra work over time until it became a full-time job.

He loves the ability to move around a lot not be in the same place all of the time.

“The bees are pretty simple, once you know what to do,’’ he said.

“The thing is to stay calm, relaxed. Give them a puff of smoke.

“The weather has a lot to do with it … on nice sunny days they are nice and happy.

“If it’s cold and rainy … they want you to leave them alone.

“The protein makes the sting. Clover, spotted gum … you generally find what makes good honey makes the sting is more toxic.

“Everything has different flavours and taste.’’

Michael Kiem demonstrates how frames are readied to have the honey extracted from them.

269073

Do you have a favourite?

“Ironbark, and I don’t mind macadamia. Any honey is good.

“I love it on fresh bread, on Weet Bix - any of the cereals.

“It’s so healthy. You can keep pure honey forever as far as I can understand.’’

The Covid-19 pandemic saw delays in the courier services but increased demand for queen bees and local honey.

“People have definitely learnt to be local,’’ Michael said.

“We market the honey locally, as much as we can, at shops and service stations, but also send some to Brisbane and other smaller honey packers.’’

Denmar supply more than 1000 queen bees a week to beekeepers throughout Australia, except for Western Australia due to quarantine requirements.

Hives are continually being split to create new colonies as the numbers naturally increase.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Hanging out the frame ... Michael Kiem with a frame of queen bee cells at Denmar Apiaries. 269073 The Denmar team then chase the different eucalypt blossoms.

Like father, like son, Hayden is interested in the bees and cannot wait to finish school.

“I’m trying to make it so he doesn’t get stung ... keep him interested in it.

“He will get up at 2am to help me take the bees to places such as Moree.

“He is always wanting to know what’s going on, where the bees have been.

“We take them down there for canola, get a bit of an early start to the season.

“Then we come straight back around here, and up to the macadamias in Childers and Bundaberg.

“We’ve had a good season. The bees are close-by.

“Last year was a bit dry. The end of the season was good but the 18 months before that was dry.’’

Everything at Denmar has been built up by Michael.

“It was an old piggery when we bought the place.

“We knocked the sheds down, and bought in enough equipment to get started.’’

The infrastructure includes an administration building plus a storage shed, workshop and honey extraction area.

The echo of our voices can be heard in the extraction shed as Michael shows how the wax is cut away from the frames of honey, and they are pushed into horizontal extractors.

He slides the frames in, spins them around and lets gravity do the rest.

It’s absorbing to see what goes into beekeeping - it’s not just for hobbyists and singlehanded operations.

Apart from the team-members, his father Phillip is an eager helper.

“Yes, Dad comes up from Hervey Bay and does a lot of odd jobs.

“He packs the honey and spends time with the grandkids.

“Like myself, he cannot sit still.’’

Collecting and packaging the queen bees for transport to the many beekeepers requires time.

Candy is put in the cages for the queen bees to eat along the way.

“We pack their lunch for them, for a few days anyway,’’ Michael said.

“They go straight in the post on the day, and after their journey go straight into the hives.’’

Beekeepers are always replenishing the queen bee to keep the hive highly productive.

For Michael, the queen bee apiary of about 100 hives is like a nursery.

“We trick the top part of the hive into thinking they don’t have a queen.

“Then we graft larvae into the cell cups.

“The bees feed them and they create queen cells … a virgin queen.

“She develops, and after about 10 days we take them into the bush, to smaller apiaries we have scattered around.’’

That is where they take the queen from the hive and replace it with the queen cell, which is the start of a new cycle.

She then flies out, mates with several drones, and returns to the hive to start laying eggs.

This is the start of a small bee.

Worker bees do all the foraging, looking after the hive. They collect the pollen from the stamen and the honey from the flowers … it’s the nectar that attracts them.

“The pollen is the source of their vitamins and minerals.

“They store some honey - which is what we collect - and use the pollen to survive.

“Honey is their energy, pollen is their staple diet.

“The more eggs she lays, the more the hive expands. It becomes a cycle.’’

The eggs take two or three days to develop as larvae.

Queens become full-grown adults within 16 days; drones develop in under 24 days and female workers require 21 days during larval and pupal development.

“Every week we go out and catch the queens,’’ Michael said. “You can pick them up in your hands, pluck them off from the frame and put them into a plastic spout with the sugar syrup-based candy.’’

Selecting and replacing queen bees and managing bee swarms can help maintain a successful bee colony.

Michael tries to breed them to be more workable.

By developing a trust, the bees can be bred to be calmer.

“It’s a matter of picking your stock to breed from.

“Different bees have different traits. People don’t realise that.

“When we started they were angrier, but over the years through breeding, and maybe

the calm setting, they have become easier to work with.

“It pays not to be scared of bees. If someone comes in rushing - they get a lot more attention.

“Move slowly and calmly, and they are not bothered by you.’’

Bringing in young queen bees helps ensure a healthy and probably more docile colony.

These colonies are valued for their high honey production and are less likely to swarm.

The queen is the only fertile female in a honey bee colony.

Over time, the colony naturally replaces an older queen with a daughter queen.

However, this can lead to an aggressive colony that is vulnerable to disease, low levels of honey production, and ineffective pollination.

This is why new queens are brought in from breeders such as Denmar.

The queen is capable of producing up to 2000 eggs each day, using an organised pattern and placing each egg next to others within a cell.

When a colony outgrows a hive, a swarm results.

The mature queen leaves with half of her workers to establish a new colony.

“Swarms are their way of reproducing,’’ Michael said. “And at those times when they swarm on, or in buildings, we try not to extract them.

“You would need to pull a wall apart … we are not builders.

“There are specialists for that sort of thing.

“We specialise in queen bees.’’

Distribution of queen bees to keepers can vary from one or two to 200 at a time, from hobbyists to commercial beekeepers.

Some produce their own queens but normally they concentrate on harvest and pollination.

The biggest problem facing bee colonies is the heat … and flysprays.

Pesticides are extremely detrimental.

Chemicals mean an instant kill yet they also inhibit the bees in rebuilding a hive.

The chemicals get into the wax which has an ongoing detrimental impact on the bees.

With the drought a couple of years ago, Michael had to travel a lot more to places that had rain, and look for different blossoms.

“Bees live 40 to 90 days,’’ he said.

“In that time, they work incredibly hard to produce maybe a teaspoon of honey over their entire lifetime.

“We need to appreciate what they do for us.

“So much depends on them.’’

Driving away from Denmar Apiaries you realise how much the world now depends on dedicated people such as Michael and Crystal.

Teewah litter Last week, when I patrolled Teewah Beach for litter, I found mostly balloons, plastic bottle caps, plastic bottles, micro plastics and lolly wrappers. It is quite a different story on this Clean Up Australia Day weekend. The amount of polystyrene litter, particularly from pontoons which have been swept down waterways, is an environmental disaster. With all the will in the world of volunteers, they will only be able to recover a fraction of the polystyrene which has been washed out into the ocean.

It is time for all such pontoons which remain in any of Australia’s waterways to be removed and dealt with in an appropriate manner.

Sign the petition Congratulations on your feature on the proposal to commercialise the Cooloola Great Walk in your issue of 4 March. Also to Rhonda Prescott from Noosa Greens, Matt Noffke, and Greg Wood as well as the many others who have given their thoughts, time and energy to bringing to the fore this disgraceful proposal by the Queensland Government.

Two issues are worthy of further consideration. This is a landmark proposal by a government which desperately seeks to extend the exploitation of our National Parks by favoured commercial interests, so what happens here has much wider implications.

Second, it is apparent that at the price of $600 to $1000 per person per night this is totally unaffordable for the average family. It’s success will therefore depend on an influx of wealthy tourists from interstate and overseas, a market which in the ongoing Covid situation is uncertain to say the least.

To make this a viable project there will consequently be mounting pressure to permit and facilitate shorter visits, rather than the full fiveday walk, which would require 4WD access to all campsites as well as possible helicopter pads en route. The final environmental impact would be immense as well as unsustainable.

I urge your readers to sign the petition to Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon on Change.org if they want to stop this vandalism.

Issues to resolve The recent flooding of the new Cooroy Hinterland Adventure Playground has revealed stormwater issues that must be resolved.

According to the Noosa Plan 2020, several stormwater pipes empty into the Overland Flow Area that floods into the playground.

The Cooroy Hinterland Park Flood Assessment prepared in October 2019 for Council states that Cooroy Creek flooding is the dominant source of flooding at the site, but goes on to say, “however design of the park will also need to allow for the local catchment Overland Flows from the south. There is a local catchment of approximately 4.1 hectares draining through the site from the south”.

The assessment also notes, “The local catchment land use primarily consists of roads, carparks and commercial areas and therefore catchment runoff will have a potential pollutant loading that is un-suitable for primary contact without treatment”.

“Further consideration on possible treat-

If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au ment strategies is recommended for general water flow along this designated drainage path if it is to remain open and accessible to users of the park. Alternatively, local stormwater runoff could be piped underground to avoid contact with users of the park.”

The Council later sought advice on possible treatment strategies from environmental and hydraulic engineers, who suggested a treatment train consisting of tree pits, bio pods, a bio swale, bio basins, and a vegetated swale capable of removing the gross pollutants, sediment, nutrients and heavy metals from the polluted stormwater runoff.

It appears that most of the above possible treatment strategies were not incorporated into the design of the Cooroy playground or perhaps, if some were implemented, it was only at a very basic level. Now that the Council has firsthand experience of real time flooding of the area, is there a plan to implement further stormwater treatment strategies and make sure it is a safe area for children to play?

The River Stakeholders Committee, having disappointingly failed to achieve significant progress on the proliferation of permanently anchored vessels, now propose a permanent 6kt speed limit for the lower reaches of the river, based on so-called safety concerns held by some of its members.

Their concerns apparently relate to the interaction between boats and jet skis at 20kts and other river users. Such concerns are catered for satisfactorily with seasonal 6kt limits imposed during peak holiday periods. During the vast majority of the year traffic is greatly reduced and that interaction is not a problem and does not justify a permanent limit. In fact, for much of the time there is virtually no one on the water and to require a 6kt limit then would be ridiculous.

The real problem is the lack of compliance with existing rules and the failure to effectively police them. The imposition of a permanent limit won’t fix that and would likely exacerbate

it. During this past summer the start of the seasonal limit was poorly advertised and signposted which led to the issuing of a number of infringement notices. Again, compliance and enforcement!

The committee’s concerns are not reflective of the wider boating and river-using community. It seems the committee may not be truly representative and possibly captive to a small group pursuing personal agendas. There are numerous other issues of a far higher importance to which the committee should be devoting their energy rather than wasting it on this matter.

MSQ have called for community input about the proposal. If you are opposed please make a submission by 16 March, and if you find that too hard there is a petition opposing the limit at change.org/OpposeNoosa6ktLimit which you could sign.

Hilarious opinions Correspondent Woody Dass (NT 4/03) is not the only one who would have found the perennial anti-science, global warming denying and evidence-free opinions of John Turner (NT 25/02) “absolutely hilarious”. Our Prime Minister joyfully carried a lump of coal into Parliament telling us it wouldn’t “hurt you” and has only recently begun admitting that global warming should be somewhere on the agenda, apparently noticing that over 70 per cent of the population want more action to stop the emission of greenhouse gases.

Matt Canavan smirks when challenged on the government’s inaction on global warming.

Angus Taylor, Minister for Industries, Energy and Emissions, once thought arguments to take action on carbon emissions were entertaining but he now finds that major energy companies are leaving him out of the loop when making decisions about converting coal fired power plants to renewable energy power plants.

The Coalition is a wealth of misinformation, lack of planning, lack of policy, lack of commitment and lack of direction, when it comes to

navigating what should now be called climate disruption. The climate is not just changing, it is disrupting society, just as predicted. This Federal government has no plans to reduce the cause of global warming, no plans for mitigating its impact, and inadequate resources to compensate victims of climate disasters, but apparently, this is hilarious.

Neither of our local Members have made any comments related to global warming.

They ignore it when it is doubtlessly the most important issue to be addressed by the government, every bit as significant as the pandemic.

Wide Bay and Fairfax need National Party candidates that understands the negative impact climate disruption will have on agriculture, or a Liberal Party candidate, such as the NSW Minister for Energy and Environment Matt Kean who demonstrates a good understanding of the seriousness of climate disruption. Even better, would be an independent, following the trend of replacing coalition incumbents on the basis of having better carbon emissions policy.

We can’t sit by and watch the floods and fire destroy lives and livelihoods while conservative politicians and deniers laugh on the side.

Steve Hall, Cooroy

A fair run As an artist, I regularly reference history in my work. So, I have an idea when history is written in a one-sided way. Break the Bias is a fine theme for this year’s International Women’s Day. Unfortunately, former councillor Ingrid Jackson’s biased account of her treatment continues in the vein that she was somehow treated unfairly (NT 4 March).

Having ideas voted against is not unusual in a democratic system, and need not be an attempt to silence. I don’t believe Ms Jackson was “treated as a problem”, rather she was more often listened to with respect. In the latter months of the council term, Ms Jackson worked against her colleagues to get a new team of councillors elected. Notably, she backed one woman and two men in the Future Noosa team.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

When the group manager resigned, she even took over as manager of the campaign while drawing a councillor salary. No, I think Ms Jackson had a fair run and her time as a one-term councillor was fruitful for the electorate, and suffered no more political bias than she showed when she ran candidates for an attempt to gain political change. Ironically, far from the community rallying around her, only one of the candidates was elected.

Learn from event The new but as yet unfinished adventure playground in Cooroy was recently inundated with floodwater from both the adjacent creek and a massive amount of storm water from local streets. Before opening, council now has an opportunity to learn from this event and redesign sections of the playground that were not planned with best-practice flood modelling as recommended by their consultant hydraulic engineers. Of particular concern is untreated storm water from 4.1ha of town streets, which drains into the creek through the centre of the playground and could affect water quality in the water play area.

A report detailing damage and the cost for repairs is essential for governance transparency.And while there’s much attention to a coastal hazard adaptation plan, what about incorporating best-practice planning for hinterland hazard adaptation?

Jennifer Sadler, Lake Macdonald

Unacceptable development My husband and I read the recent article in Noosa Today on the proposed Noosa Springs development and were appalled at the idea of such a construction taking place. Does Council have any idea how much damage this would do to the ecology of Noosa. A building this size on recreational land, decreasing koala habitat (or what is left of it), increasing the amount of traffic into the golf course, which is now at the maximum it can sustain, the increase in population and parking problems it would cause.

The increase in golf players, which of course then restricts residents to how often (or how little) they will be able to use the course, which suffers even now, when competitions are cancelled allowing visitors to play.

This building is completely unacceptable to us and to my knowledge all the residents in The Springs.

Trudy and Noel Ryan, Noosa Springs

Development too large I was interested to read a recent article by Phillip Starkey and Ellen Guan concerning the new development proposed for Noosa Springs.

Noosa Springs is already, in combination with the contiguous Parkridge Development, way too large for the available access to and away from existing residences, facilities and services. The access is via narrow, winding and steep roads that are already dangerous for residents, visitors and the abundant local wildlife. Parking is extremely limited and on street parking compromises, still further, already restricted access. Speed limits are too high for the environment and very often ignored by drivers anyway.

The mostly competed Parkridge Development has put both access and parking under extreme pressure and it’s very likely that a major development and Noosa Springs will see a repeat of this for the next 18-24 months.

Council is currently spending millions on rehabilitating an area of land to the east of the Parkridge Development to (hopefully) act as a haven for endangered native flora and fauna (including the Black Cockatoo). Any further development and growth in traffic just a few hundred metres away at Noosa Springs must surely put this vital initiative at risk.

Mark Herbertt, Noosa Heads

Object to proposal As a long-term resident of Noosa Springs I was most interested in your article on the proposed new hotel development in Noosa Springs.

I was a signatory, along with hundreds of others objecting to this proposal.

As for appealing to new visitors to Noosa, one could argue that Noosa is already full. Try getting to the beach over Christmas, Easter etc. when the traffic is backed up passed the roundabout near the post office. What we really need is more car parking spaces?

This little chick has just hatched in Bob and Josie Ansett’s rain gage and survived everything Mother Nature has thrown at it. Bob Ansett took the photo not long after it had poped out of the egg. Along with its very attentive and careing mother, it has survived some of the worst conditions many of us have ever experienced in Noosa - amazing!! If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au The proposed hotel is well away from the Noosa attractions and any form of public transport, and I wonder if a shuttle bus and 100 electric bikes is credible.

As you point out, there was a hotel approved on land that now houses Parkridge but it seems this was sacrificed for more units at Parkridge (wonder how that happened?).

106 rooms in the hotel hardly suggests boutique. What evidence is there that Noosa needs this hotel as there seems to be plenty of accommodation around, and how much bigger do we want Noosa to be, something like the Gold Coast?

The hotel proposal is on two-thirds of land designated by Council, to be recreational open space!

Once again it seems the koalas are the ones to suffer.

Should there be a disaster, how do all the residents in this area get out, one road in and the same road out?

Has there been a study to assess the impact on current Golf Club members and visitors regarding access to the golf course and parking?

Ernie Mason, Noosa Springs

Dismay at proposal As a resident of Noosa Springs for 15 years, I am writing to express my dismay at the proposal for a boutique hotel to be built in the area. Noosa Springs was originally marketed as a golfing estate. As it grew, other facilities were provided. These facilities have been used by residents, friends and visitors for many years.

A hotel owned by another company would obviously give priority to their guests and we would be unable to access these amenities as much as we have been able to do so.

Of prime importance is the recent request from the Australian Government for communities to help in preserving the habitat of koalas before they become extinct. Residents in Noosa Springs have been very supportive of such for some time and several owners have made massive efforts to do so. The building of the hotel would destroy the koala corridors which would endanger species dramatically.

Another very important issue is that of our safety in the event of bushfires which are prevalent in the area and caused major concerns two years ago. With tall trees and considerable ground level with flammable growth, the evacuation of the number of communities that would be necessary would also make it more difficult for the fire brigade to access the area and could lead to loss of property and even lives.

Scrutiny required Regarding the article about Golden Horse’s “New Hotel Plans Unveiled” (Noosa Today 25/2/22) This optimistically describes the hotel as a “five-star boutique hotel”. Note: with 98 standard rooms, each being a tiny 32 sq meters, which includes the bathroom and closet, this cannot be described as being “Luxury 5 star boutique” establishment.

Relish, the excellent restaurant at Noosa Springs is only open for lunch but cannot open for dinner due to a staff shortage. I understand this is a predicament being suffered across the hospitality industry in Noosa.

Golden Horse says that a “200 room hotel has been included in the original Councilapproved resort plans”. What they failed to say was that this was approved to be on the area of land on which the Parkridge apartment complex has been built. Golden Horse tuned down the opportunity to buy that block of land and develop it when they had the chance. Now they want council to rezone the recreational land which happens to also have koala feed trees on it so they can build an inappropriately sized and defined hotel.

We remain hopeful that council will assess this application with the diligence and scrutiny that it deserves.

Rowena Faerch, Noosa Heads

Climate inaction Is now the time to talk about extreme weather events- unprecedented floods, heatwaves, pandemics , bushfires, coral bleaching and

the Emergency Response Fund of $4.8 billion?

Is this the cost of inaction on climate change?

Just asking.

Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Great concerns The debate and discussion regarding the development of a Boutique Hotel adjacent to the Noosa Springs golf course and associated facilities concerns me greatly as a resident of Noosa Springs. Last year I was fortunate enough to be invited to a presentation given by the developers for selected members of the Noosa Springs Community and, as part of that presentation we had a report from a traffic control consultant.

The key point of his report was a study conducted by his staff on traffic flows between 7am and 9am and 4pm and 5.30pm, which would normally be considered as commuting times.

However, it would appear that the traffic study did not take into consideration the fact that the majority of the people living in Noosa Springs, Park Ridge and Elysium are retirees and do not generally travel at the times surveyed.

As a result of the fires which threatened the area in early 2020, a survey was completed which showed that over 1000 cars would need to exit the area in the event of a similar emergency, and that does not include any vehicular traffic sourced from the proposed hotel.

Currently, this whole area is serviced by one road from the Cooyar Street roundabout which is obviously insufficient. In addition to that, the road leading to Park Ridge, The Oasis and The Fairways (two residential precincts in Noosa Springs) is a divided road with trees in the centre which constitutes a severe fire hazard. This issue has not been addressed by the developers at any point and although I have raised the matter with a councillor and had a discussion with a council employee, and both gave me a favourable response, however, the issue has not progressed any further. I believe the proposed hotel constitutes over development of an area which has many favourable features without further development.

Mark Matthews will speak at The J Theatre.

“The Noosa Festival of Surfing is such an iconic event and, after all the delays thanks to Covid, I’m super excited to be able to finally get up on stage in front of a crowd for a face-toface event and share my story,“ he said.

“I can’t wait to get up to Noosa and be surrounded by incredible surfing talent as well as those people who are looking to maximise their performance whether it be in sport, work or other aspects of their lives.

“I am now in a position where I can talk to people about my passion and I look forward to sharing my resilience techniques and empowering people to make the shift in their mindset of embracing fear and finding fulfillment in their lives,.“ Mark explained how his passion for public speaking continues to grow when he hears how his words have positively impacted others and helped them make decisions to better their lives.

“Even though getting on stage is frightening, public speaking is something that has been incredibly fulfilling compared to anything else I have experienced in my career, especially when I hear how I have inspired people to make positive changes in their life,“ he said.

Local artists brighten the bank

By Abbey Cannan Local artists have the chance to showcase their work and inspire the public at the Tewantin Noosa Community Bank (Bendigo Bank) in a dedicated area within the branch.

From Monday 14 March until Tuesday 19 April, there will be a new exhibition by artist Rose Barry.

Rose has been painting for over 40 years, although as a child growing up in Melbourne, art was not a subject at the convent school she attended.

“My life as an artist commenced at the age of 38 when I attended a short course of watercolour painting in a tiny, remote town in South Africa,” she said.

“That was enough to start me on my largely self-taught art journey, moving on eventually to oils, pastels and acrylics.

“I paint for pleasure now that I am an older citizen, but in former days, when I lived in the Northern Territory, I sold many paintings

to tourists in Darwin and Alice Springs.”

Rose was inspired by the majestic landscapes of the Red Centre, and by the lovely water lilies and billabongs of the Top End. “I first started painting in South Africa, in a region known as the Transkei, an incredibly picturesque land with a wild coastline, and countless hills dotted with white rondavels topped with golden thatched roofs.

“As an artist, I have always drawn my inspiration from the environment around me.

In Noosa, I find much of my inspiration from the amazing vegetation surrounding us. I have also lately been inspired by the underwater scenes revealed in the Blue Planet series by David Attenborough. His work is a revelation of the beauty and wonder of the underwater world, and of the importance of the ocean to all life on earth.”

Rose said she was pleased to be able to exhibit her work in the Bendigo Bank in Tewantin.

“For me personally, I will enjoy seeing my

paintings as a cohesive body of work, rather than having them in cupboards and under beds all over the house,” she said.

“I hope that everyone who sees the paintings will enjoy the colour and vitality of my work and relate to the gardens and familiar plants and scenes.

“The paintings are for sale at very reasonable prices, as I do not classify myself as a professional artist, but as a serious hobby artist, who loves what she paints, and is getting better as the years go by.

“I hope my paintings make a trip to the bank a more enjoyable experience than usual, and that the staff also enjoy looking at them.

“I am very pleased that the Bendigo Bank is offering this opportunity to local artists to display their work in such modern, bright premises.”

Visit Tewantin Noosa Community Bank to check out local art at 114 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin.

Noosa Chorale.

Chorale to sing requiem

By Jim Fagan “An evening of beautiful uplifting music”— that’s how reviewer Marguerite Webber described Gabriel Faure’s Requiem 14 years ago when Noosa Chorale, conducted by Adrian King, performed it at the Bicentennial Hall.

And Adrian is promising a repeat performance when the Chorale presents the Requiem and Karl Jenkins’ inspiring Sabat Mater at the J on May 27 and 28.

Adrian has been bringing out the best in choirs for more than 50 years (he started when he was 19) and he told Noosa Today his regard for Faure’s music went back to when he was music master at St James‘ Choir School at Grimsby in the UK. “The School Chamber Choir also produced evening concerts where I programmed works such as Faure’s Requiem, his Cantique de Jean

Racine and Pavane.

“The programmes varied from year to year but included many of Faure’s miniature musical gems such as Berceuse for violin and piano and Élegie, Romance and Sicilienne for cello and piano.

“I believe the Requiem is truly an inspirational work of art. Faure wanted this piece to be different, not just another funeral song.

“His aim was to make it feel like a peaceful transition and he definitely succeeded as you can hear from the calm, lightness and serenity throughout the piece.

“Gabriel Faure said, he wrote this work purely ‘for the pleasure of it’ and unlike many Requiems, the work is imbued with a sense of warmth and optimism.

“Some of the music audiences will recognise range from the well-known Hostias and

Libera Me for solo baritone, the transient purity of the much loved Pie Jesu soprano solo to the memorable In Paradisum, with its magical accompaniment.

“Faure’s setting seems gentle and unassuming, yet it is this very quality of understatement that contributes so eloquently to the work’s universal appeal, and it is impossible not to be moved by the ethereal beauty of this humble masterpiece.”

Asked about Stabat Mater by Karl Jenkins, composer of The Armed Man which has thrilled Noosa audiences in recent years, Adrian said, As a composer, Jenkins manages to combine very different styles of music from classical to pop and to draw on different cultures from around the globe.

“Not unlike The Armed Man, Stabat Mater text is drawn from many parts of the world and

from diverse religions and cultures. In addition, the music too, is cosmopolitan in its inspiration.”

In 2012 Noosa Chorale performed The Armed Man with video footage and images drawn from the military, social and political conflicts of the 20th century.

It was repeated for the Anzac Centenary commemoration of the Gallipoli Landing concert in April 2015.

Adrian added: “We are also fortunate to have three outstanding soloists, soprano Annika Hinrichs and baritone Timothy Newton who will sing the Requiem and mezzo soprano Shirin Majd for the Stabat Mater.”

32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 March, 2022

Trevor Pepys reviews O-Ren Brew House and Modern Asian Restaurant Can it be a whole decade ago that Geoff and Char Hall opened the doors to their woodgrained and sumptuous Coconut Grove in the heart of Sunshine Beach?

To Trev it seems like only yesterday. Of course the brilliant remake of the Duke Street site was only another chapter in the legend of what was Jean Luc Lapene’s Cafe des Amis back in the ‘90s, but it had such style, mainly driven by the work of Geoff Hall, one of Noosa’s finest wood artisans.

When Sum Yung Guys moved in they did their best to disguise all of that with their rock star sensibilities, but it’s hard to disguise a Hall hand-carved bar top. Happily, the current resident, O-Ren Modern Asian hasn’t tried, and seeing the old entry statement revived made Trev smile. (If you want further evidence of G Hall’s genius, see the curved bar at what is now El Capitano pizza joint above Cafe le Monde.)

So Trev’s all smiles as he and the missus walk into O-Ren, but it doesn’t last long. The wine list starts at $47 and so does Trev. The $50 entry point is becoming the new normal around town, so he should be grateful, but no, more like resentful. However, the Farina Pinot Grigio is one of the better Italian quaffers under $20 at most bottle shops, light and dry with a fruity after-taste, which our waitress must have known because she pours without offering a taste.

The O-Ren people are responsible for Cooroy’s Copperhead Brewery, which looks a bit like the 1970s motel it lives next to, but serves a decent mix of brews and tucker. After a false start upstairs in Hastings Street, the beachside brew house and modern Asian restaurant looks comfortable in its skin here. It’s a comfortable, airy space where – top marks for this – you can hear yourself think. Yes, folks, this is

that rare thing – a restaurant where you can have a conversation.

Unfortunately, our conversation on this particular evening is largely about the fact that the missus is not very hungry, so we skip the mains and focus on the sections curiously called A Bit More and Bigger, deciding to share some roti bread ($8) and salt and pepper cuttlefish with fried chilli, garlic, spring onions, lemongrass, and chilli lime for starters, followed by sesame tempura prawns and zucchini ($36) with miso mayo.

The roti arrived burnt to a cinder but the chilli lime Trev was planning to spread on it was non-existent, so we got away to a flyer. The cuttlefish was bland but filling. We were looking for a big comeback with our second course, and we sort of got it. The tempura prawns were tasty and the miso mayo delicious.

But another point on service: because we were intending to share, Trev asked how many prawns were served. Our waitress said we could have four, five or six, and the price would remain at $30. Naturally Trev ordered six for which he was billed $36. He wondered aloud whether the price would have gone down $6 if he’d ordered four.

We shared an affogato ($12) to finish and it too was delicious.

The verdict: Modern Asian is a culinary space well-served around Noosa, so O-Ren might be up against it a bit, especially with one of the better ones just around the corner. But history is on their side. Sure, the upstairs site at 46 Duke has had its ups and downs over the years, but Trev can recall many memorable meals within those walls. Not so much this time, but maybe the next.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Fish to the conditions Well, we certainly got smashed! As a result, the rivers saw record levels of flood water and sediment.

For the Noosa River, and many more, this means a lot of displaced fish and larger congregations of baitfish. For the angler, this means you could find larger schools of fish which should be very hungry.

Offshore has been on hold for many due to heavy swell hitting the bar. We did see a midweek lull and bigger boats punched out to North Reef for a good number of reef fish. As expected, the dirty water has reached out far and wide making for great reef fishing with cobia, pearlies and snapper on the chew for the bait anglers. Popular baits are squid, pilchards and mullet strip. The pelagics will require some finding so try trolling some lures while you are underway, especially if conditions are a bit rough. Higher speed lures like the Nomad DTX range let you cover ground quicker giving you the chance of finding a big mackerel or even a wahoo.

Surf fishing has seen a lot of debris washing up along the coast line including a huge section of pontoon down the coast. If swimming or surfing, please take care as there is going to be a lot of debris floating around. For anglers the chance of jewfish remains strong, especially now we have had the moon a few days ago. Daytime fishing should hold good numbers of whiting which often feed hard after a heavy rain.

The river has been quiet, but it pays to try multiple spots in the lower estuary during the incoming tides. You will notice a delay in the posted high tide times due to the backlog of freshwater in the system which could see a delay in the tide turn by several hours. This cleaner water will see fish feeding and boat anglers should try and fish the dirty water line as

fish will follow and feed in this line. The river mouth, dog beach and the current line are several spots you can try.

Bait anglers will want to use pilchards, squid and mullet and even mullet gut. These baits have high oil content or simply smell great to a fish. You will need to keep baits in an area for longer if fishing hard on the bottom as the scent trail will need to be picked up by your target fish. To help things along a little, pick up some pre-mix burley and some tuna oil. Making small balls and adding these to your fishing area can turn a slow bite into nonstop action.

As we come out of the new moon phase, evening anglers will find areas where the possibility of landing a mangrove jack exists. Jacks are apex predators and love to ambush their prey so think about areas where they are likely to hang out. During tide turns they will break cover and can be caught out in the open. A word of warning though as jacks know where home is and will always charge back there once hooked. Make sure you are running 40lb or more leader and, if lure angling, look at Samaki and Zerek soft vibes and big paddle tail plastics.

Roads heading to Borumba are underwater and Lake MacDonald is closed to all on water activities. Be sure you check on SEQ water website for details on locations you intend to travel to for up-to-date information.

Now for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up-to-date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and remember Tight Lines and Bent Spines!

Pin High Peter Owen

Ryley wants his chance All Ryley Martin wants is an opportunity to ply his trade.

The Noosa-based professional golfer’s game is sharp, he hits the ball so far he can reach many par fours with his drive, and he’ll travel to any part of the country.

He just doesn’t have anywhere to play.

Martin, who plays and practises at Noosa Springs, has no official status – he’s a member of no tour – and his only chance to play in a tournament is to pre-qualify for one of a handful of spots available to hopefuls like him.

He’ll be trying to do just that at next week’s New South Wales Open, and then at the Western Australian PGA next month, and even at the Northern Territory PGA in Darwin in May. But it’s tough for a young man with a burning ambition to become a touring tournament player.

“I’m playing well,” he said.

“I had five-under at Noosa Springs last week and three-under on Tuesday.”

Martin’s hoping to gain his playing privileges through the annual Q School qualifying tournament, which was held last year in April.

“They haven’t posted any dates for this year,” he said.

“But when they do, I’ll be there.”

Meanwhile, Martin’s earning a living working in hospitality, while practising whenever he can.

And he’s enjoying being a new dad. He and his wife Sophie became the parents of baby Theo a month ago. Developer seeks to overturn council decision GemLife, still committed to establishing a retirement resort on part of the Cooroy golf course, will present amended plans and reports from environmental scientists to the Planning and Environment Court next week in a bid to overturn Noosa Council’s rejection of the ambitious proposal.

Independent consultants have been assessing and reporting on the ecology of creeks as seen by the tagging of trees. GemLife is understood to have modified its development footprint to accommodate an increased setback to the northern end of the project and is addressing issues raised by the independent experts.

As part of the development proposal, GemLife has pledged to deliver numerous benefits to the golf club, including a new clubhouse, pro shop, golf buggy storage for 40 carts, new sealed 100 space car park, new entry road and course improvements.

It has also guaranteed 246 new golf memberships (one for every dwelling in the GemLife resort) for a period of 10 years. Understandably, the golf club is supporting GemLife’s appeal.

A good day for Amanda Like many potential golf widows, Amanda Harburg took up golf 20 years ago because it was a sporting activity she could share with her husband, Julian.

These days, though, she’s the one with the passion for the game, competing two or three times a week, enjoying the company of her friends, and playing some fine golf.

On Saturday, for example, she shot net 73 to win the Noosa Springs’ members’ stroke event on a course that had recovered remarkably from the weekend rain.

“I had no expectations,” Amanda said.

“I don’t hit the ball very far, so I just tried to keep it in play, and I just had a good day.”

Amanda and husband Julian were members of Brisbane Golf Club before retiring to Noosa last year. They joined Noosa Springs in October and Amanda says they love living on the Sunshine Coast.

Cassie in the mix again She will probably feel she was a victim of the weather after the final round of the weekend’s TPS Sydney was abandoned because of rain, but Cassie Porter has certainly cemented her 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 March, 2022

The rookie and the veteran. Ryley Martin (left) plays a round with Legends Tour stalwart Glenn Joyner at Noosa Springs. place among Australia’s best professional golfers.

After four holes of that final round Porter, the pride of Peregian, was nine-under-par, clinging to sixth place in the male-female field, and had taken over as the leading female player from a faltering Grace Kim. But when the rain continued to fall, officials decided to abandon the final round and reduce the tournament to 54 holes. That meant positions remained as they were after three rounds, with Porter tied for eighth, one shot behind Kim. The joint third-round leaders – Perth’s Jarryd Felton and veteran Brendan Jones, from Canberra – went to a sudden death playoff with Felton claiming the title with a rock steady birdie on the first playoff hole.

In the six tournaments she’s played since turning professional late last year, Porter has recorded five top 10s – two of them against male professionals.

Burns goes on his winning way Evergreen Yandina Creek professional Brad Burns, one of the most travelled players on the Australian Legends Tour, chalked up another win when he took the Club Mandalay Legends Pro-Am, north of Melbourne, last week.

Burns, who has been one of the dominant players on the tour, topping the Order of Merit for four of the past five seasons, shot four-under-par 68 to share the win with fellow Queenslander Nigel Lane and Kiwi Michael Long.

He followed up with a three-under 69 the following day at nearby Gardiners Run – good enough for tied eighth behind yet another Queenslander Richard Backwell in the Watts Legend Pro-Am. Golfers tackle prostate cancer Golfers will support the fight against prostate cancer when they play in a special event at Noosa Springs on Wednesday, March 30.

Organised by the Noosa Prostate Association, the fundraiser is an Ambrose event with a 7.30am shotgun start.

Noosa Springs’ members will pay $50, which covers the competition fee, a donation to prostate cancer research, a range of prizes, and lunch in the Plantation Room.

Visitors are welcome, but must also pay a

green fee of $89.

Players are encouraged to wear their brightest floral shirt, and a prize will be awarded to the best.

The entry form is in the Noosa Springs Golf Shop and the closing date is 25 March.

We’re second on world golf stage New research has found Australia to be the second most successful country for golf behind the United States.

The study, by the UK-based website money. co.uk, which specialises in comparisons, analysed men’s and women’s major tournaments and World Cups, and looked at the amount of times an individual or team from each country had won.

The United States was way out in front, but Australia’s five multiple major winners - Karrie Webb (seven times), Peter Thomson (five times), Jan Stephenson (three times), Greg Norman and David Graham (both two times) - played a significant role in Australia’s runnerup ranking.

Australia’s victories in the World Cup have been significant - Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson (1954 and 1959), Bruce Devlin and David Graham (1970), Peter Fowler and Wayne Grady (1989), and Jason Day and Adam Scott (2013) all lifting up the World Cup. Major victories to Minjee Lee, Hannah Green, Jason Day, Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Steve Elkington, Ian Baker-Finch, Wayne Grady, Kel Nagle and Jim Ferrier also ensured that Australia finished above England (third), Sweden (fourth) and South Korea (fifth).

Ladies take centre stage Entries are still being accepted for the first round of this year’s Ladies Golf Series at Noosa Springs on Tuesday 22 March.

The 18-hole stableford competition will be followed by a gourmet champagne lunch and presentations.

The cost, including lunch, is $104 ($49 for Noosa Springs members; $94 for social and reciprocal members).

Ladies who play in two of the three events will be in the running for a half-day Spa Escape and four rounds of golf, with an electric cart.

The prize will be drawn after the round on December 6.

Trigger your golf focus TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER Focus is an important part of becoming a better golfer but it’s important that you focus for only the right amount of time – just before and after you play each shot.

All good players learn to switch off between shots.

That’s easy for most weekend golfers. But they then find it very difficult to switch back on.

If you’re like that, you may need a trigger to help you switch on and off.

For example, many leading professionals use their glove as a trigger.

As they begin their shot-making preparation they mentally tune in by putting their glove on.

Then they switch off by taking their glove off and putting it into their back pocket.

It’s a simple but effective way of triggering the brain into focus mode, and then into relax mode.

Two Thunder grand finals

By Randall Woodley Quote of the week from the late Shane Warne“You can’t afford to live your life with regrets.”

Both of the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket team’s semi-final matches were abandoned last weekend due to the state of the pitches.

This means that both the First Grade and the Sixth Grade teams will play off for their respective grade premierships over the next two weekends. (Saturday and Sunday 12 and 13 March and Saturday 19 March).

First Grade will play the strong Caboolture Snakes team at Read Park commencing at 10am on Saturday. The Caboolture team has been one of the most successful clubs for some years and will test out the local boys. Their team includes the competition’s top run scorer and Ex-Queensland Bulls player, Glen Batticciotto and Brisbane First Grade player and the top-wicket taker, Preston White who has taken 52 wickets this season.

However, the Thunder team includes the second highest run scorer, Lewis Waugh with 983 runs and four of the top seven wicket-takers in the competition -(Ben Laughlin 49, Dom Taylor 44, Tom Stewart 41 and Jake Dennien 33).

It is probably fitting that these two outstanding teams should meet to decide the premiership as they are almost 40 points above the third and fourth-placed teams on the season’s ladder.

It will be local cricket at its best and players, supporters, juniors and anyone who enjoys cricket should come to Read Park on any of these days to watch the contest. The club canteen and bar will be open.

Sixth Grade will play the University of the Sunshine Coast on the same days, also commencing at 10am.These two teams are evenly matched and finished only two points apart on the season’s points ladder.

Junior cricket The season has finished for the junior teams, but the club will be entering some players into a winter competition.

Master blasters During the season a number of under 10 boys and girls have taken part in what is known as the Master Blasters on a Friday night. Last Saturday some of the Master Blasters played a trial game against the club’s under 11s players to experience what stage one cricket is all about. Stage one rules- hard ball, helmets, bigger boundaries, wicket keepers and played on a synthetic wicket, not grass.

It turned out to be a great day of cricket, everyone had lots of fun with some players wearing pads and helmets for the first time. Parents were all brilliant helping out with scoring and umpiring.

The Master Blasters batted first, picking off the opening bowlers with ease and scoring freely. At drinks, the Master Blasters were cruising comfortably at eight an over and only two wickets down with Perry smashing 55 off 20 and Hugo 52 off 20. After drinks, the stage one bowlers tightened the screws, bowling some thunderbolts with wickets being broken and catches being taken.

Nate was bowling heat and picking up three quick wickets and Brody bowling leg spin picking up four. The Master Blasters posted a very respectable 8-366 after 20 overs.

With the Master Blasters now needing to bowl extremely well to defend their total, Nigh and Bailey bowled first-class lines. When they were rested after taking four wickets, the Stage one batters went about their work showing the Master Blasters how the game should be played with Archie putting three balls onto the roof with some power hitting.

After some great bowling, powerful hitting and excellent fielding the game came down to the last over. The stage one team had to get 24 runs of the last over. The result- The Master Blasters had won the match with a catch taken by Brody off the last ball of the game. Well done to all the Master Blasters that played on Saturday. These boys and girls are the future of the club, and the skill levels were terrific to see.

Master Blasters at play.

Busy weekend for Tigers

By Julian Pitts

Club founder and Tiger legend Lenny Daddow with junior volunteer of the year Hunter Walker.

It was a busy weekend at Tigerland with practice games and our annual golf day last weekend.

The senior men had their first upgraded hit out with a intra-club practice march in humid, Darwin-like conditions and from the very outset really put their heads over the footy. It’s amazing what a new coach can bring in regard to enthusiasm with the entire playing group on an equal playing field and competitions for senior spots.

Big Jono Freeman was just unstoppable at full forward with his superior body work and high marking a feature of the day’s play. Tyler Stack racked up a heap of possessions on his wing, setting up many forward entries with clever talk and sublime foot skills.

Youngsters Mav Pettigrove and Tommy Maher were also very strong around the centre and particularly in the coal face. Pettigrove, in particular, was just brilliant with his decision-making and skill execution.

Usual suspects Fitzpatrick, Buntain, Laskey and O’Dwyer provided the strong local support throughout the day while up forward, Aaron Wilson worked his heart out the entire day. Lachy Flagg and Charlie Bance were standouts also in the hit out.

New senior coach Chris Rourke was super happy with the intra-club game as the senior men now head down the Bruce highway to face Division 1 team Wynnum in a six-quarter affair this Saturday from 11am.

All junior training is back on from Tuesday and Thursday this week as grading games start the weekend of 18 March.

Vale Terry Skeeter Williams.

The other side of the coin In these days and weeks of hardship and heart break, there are times that makes us proud to be an Aussie, including the way that complete strangers will step forward and put their hand up to help families or a person in distress.

I am happy to relate some who have now been doing this are our athletes.

There is one story that made me sit up and take note and it comes out of my old home town of Gympie. Having been born, raised and educated in Gympie, I have had occasion to witness many years of flooding that cut off the town and left people isolated for a long period of time. Luckily for me, my family residence was in an area of Ashford Hill Road that left us high and dry. But hundreds of others were not so lucky.

Last weekend was fairly rough for a nurse on the staff of the Gympie Hospital. While going about her duties her road home had been cut by the flood waters leaving her stranded.

Imagine the feeling when, on being able to return to her home, she found it, like many others, a total mess. Somehow, through a mutual friend, word of this woman’s distress was bought to the attention of a member of the Noosa, Coolum surf boat rowing fraternity. As soon as was possible, a bus and motor pool 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 March, 2022

were organised and a team of some 20-plus surf boat rowers and supporters travelled to Gympie to assist with her predicament.

“The response from local neighbours was incredible,” said Andrew Fox of Noosa.

“They came from nearby and bought coffee, tea, sandwiches and water. We sat down together had smoko then went back to work.”

The response from our boat rowers was good to see. Not too many of today’s generation would be aware of the fact that in the early 1960s, the Gympie Lions, on becoming aware that the Noosa club had nothing but a very old boat (that had been declared unseaworthy), decided to act.

The Lions’ interest in the club came as a result of the fact that the majority of the Noosa lifesavers were from Gympie. This, plus the Sunday picnic trips via the Gympie Lewis Brothers Bus Service to Noosa’s Main Beach, was a common occurrence. The club was approached by Lions’ representatives, a meeting was held and the Lions took on the purchase of a new boat for the club as a major project, and the rest was history.

To be able to perform even a small service, (despite the years) for the people of Gympie in

thanks for their help in our time of crisis, is indeed a good feeling.

While speaking of our rowers - congratulations to the Coolum reserve grade ladies’ crew who recently represented their state and won the Australian Surf Rowers League Open Championship of Australia.

The Noosa Barbell club, which is an integral part of the Crossfit 4566 community, is definitely going from strength to strength.

The good news just to hand is that 18-yearold Taj Marsh has been selected as a member of the Australian Junior Weightlifting Team for the Oceanic Titles to be held in May. This young man, apart from his weightlifting success, is also a highly respected patrolling member of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club.

Speaking with his very proud father and coach Woogie Marsh, he said, “There is at present one small problem. Being a Kiwi, we are waiting for his citizenship papers to be finalised, and we are holding our breath and crossing our fingers and pulling every string imaginable but we are sure that all will be settled in time.”

Now with the weather starting to settle and the Covid restrictions starting to ease, the

competition program hopefully, will stay as planned . That is five weeks to the State Youth and U/15 Titles, 10 weeks to the Masters and, all being , four months to the Nationals.

For a club that is definitely on the move, we wish the Barbell club and its members all the best.

For the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving club it has indeed been a sad week with the announcement that life member and former chief instructor Terry Skeeter Williams has died.

Skeeter, who joined the club in the early 1960s, was one of those people who served both his community as a lifesaver and his country as a member of the Royal Australian Air Force.

As a member of the surf club, apart from his duties as chief instructor, he was very active as a competitor, representing his club as a surf swimmer, R& R team member, boat sweep and rower. As a junior member of the club, he was chosen to represent Queensland in a state club team that toured New Zealand.

Next week, in Our People we take a closer look at this man who, in his own quiet way, did so much for so many in the world of sport.

Ruff waves for canines Big waves, rips and choppy conditions made for an action-packed VetshopAustralia Dog Surfing Championship on Main Beach last Saturday.

Thousands of onlookers crowded the beach to watch the surfing duos and trios in the much-loved part of Noosa’s Festival of Surfing.

There were plenty of canine capers as old faces mixed with newcomers at the event in its 11th year.

Fourteen-year-old Opal has attended each year since she was four, surfing with her dad, Paul Jones, the three-time winner competing this year with Opal’s younger brother, Huey, 8, and Hugsley. Opal was part of Team Freddie with friend Lily and their black pug, Freddie, taking out the ultimate prize of the Best Wave award.

They were up against some steep competition with 2021 winners Dan and Pickles back in the surf. Before the event Dan entertained the crowds with the acrobatic tricks of best mate, Sage.

Competing for the first time was Team Pickles, the Groodle showing she could stand on two legs like her humans, Michelle and Luke.

And travelling from Melbourne was Rob and rescue dog Spike, whose journey from adoption to surf champion has been captured in a book, Spike Surfs.

Family Challenge finalists the Coles, the Gowers and the Wilsons.

At last we’re on the point!

For the first time in three years, the Noosa Festival of Surfing got off to a first day flyer with a solid east swell producing excellent waves at First Point for the junior, teams and family heats, although the hard-breaking waves proved a challenge for the surfing dogs.

Since the festival changed management in 2019, it has been plagued with a lack of quality waves on Noosa’s fabled points forcing a move to the West Beach breaks, followed by two years of Covid date changes and competitor cancellations. All of that seemed behind the event this year, with borders reopened and a constant stream of swell since January, and then along came the floods.

While many competitors had to cancel at the last minute because they simply couldn’t get to Noosa, local surfers plugged some of the holes and opening weekend was mainly fine with good to very good waves. And the good vibes in the crowded Beach Bar after surfing had finished attested to that.

In recent years the quality of surfing in the junior events has gone from good to great to outstanding, and much of the heavy lifting has been done by our local groms. Last weekend, in challenging conditions, two locals who have learnt their chops at the Noosa Malibu Club took out the doubles with some incredible surfing. Mia Waite won the under 15 girls and then repeated against older opposition, taking out the under 18 girls. Landen Smales did the same thing in the boys. And the standard of surfing throughout these events was excellent.

In the family challenge, in which two generations of a family compete as a team, Noosa Malibu Club president Glen Gower and daughter Jade won, but it was wonderful to see an iconic father and son combo from Victoria’s Surf Coast come home third. Dad Maurice Cole is one of Australia’s greatest surfboard shapers and was a champion back in the day, while son Damian is breaking new ground in sustainable surfboards as well as campaigning for the environment. Neither of them really ride longboards, but while here as guest speakers they thought, why not?

Out of the surf, the Solbar Beach Bar proved a huge hit over the weekend, with its tasteful teepees and cool grooves, with off-beach entertainment venues joining in during the week.

I’ll have a full report on the surf festival next week.

Meanwhile, in Portugal Having surfed and enjoyed the festival all weekend, it was tough for your columnist to go home and watch a surfing event on the other side of the world into the wee hours, but that is what he did.

Partly this was because Sunday produced possibly the best waves ever seen at the Peniche Pro in Portugal, and partly it was because Peniche has been a place of the heart since I first surfed it almost 50 years ago. Back then, the barreling break in front of the sardine factory was a place we walked to only when the waves off the harbour rock wall weren’t breaking, and while we enjoyed surfing it, we weren’t that crazy about the river of sardine blood that flowed into the channel we paddled out through.

It was a barrel feast, and while there were some stellar performances from the usual suspects, like John Florence, Italo Ferreira and Filipe Toledo, it was the young Californian Griffin Colapinto who really stood

out, scoring the year’s first perfect 10 on Sunday and bringing home the bacon with his first tour event victory in much smaller conditions on Monday.

In the women’s, our Steph Gilmore put in a much improved performance to finish equal third, but Brazil’s Tatiana Weston-Webb was the gal to beat throughout and took the final from California’s Lakey Peterson.

Three adjoining properties, each with four apartments, on 2606sq m, at 66 Peregian Esp, Peregian Beach, will go to auction at midday on Saturday, March 25. 270343 directly opposite the beach.

There is flat entry off the street and nicely set among established trees, planted by the family.

There is space between each block of apartments space offering up the chance to landbank, renovate or replace and repurpose.

“There are so many opportunities,’’ Tracy said. “Keep as three adjoining lots or amalgamate them and do one lifestyle home or duplexes.’’

Coral Apartments, 66 Peregian Esp, 1 Martin St, and 23 Avocet Pde. Four nonstrata-titled apartments on each property.

Mark Hodgkinson and Cassandra Young of Reed & Co are taking it to auction on Friday, March 18, at midday.

“It’s a really nice home,’’ Mark said. “A special spot.

“From the veranda you look over the in-ground pool and to Noosa’s Eastern beaches, Lake Weyba, Noosa Heads and beyond.

“The landscaping - the terrace effect is

what people are liking.’’

Interest so far has been local, coastal, Brisbane and from interstate who were flying up for inspections.

Featuring vaulted ceilings, hardwood timber floors and modern renovated kitchen and bathrooms, the property will suit a multitude of buyers, Mark said.

With sealed driveways and magnificent rock retaining walls, there is enough level lawn area for a tennis court and additional shed.

The 12m in-ground swimming pool comes with well-equipped pool house.

There is covered car space for three vehicles and a caravan or boat.

TWO APARTMENTS IN RIVERSIDE PRECINCT Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents is taking a top-floor, riverfront apartment in Noosaville to auction on Saturday, March 12, at midday.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car apartment at 29 Offshore Noosa Resort, 287 Gympie Tce offers privacy as well as a private balcony with river views.

The following Saturday, March 19, Nathan is taking a two-level apartment with two bedrooms plus loft at 20/13-17 James St, Noosaville, to auction at 1pm.

The spacious, updated and centrally located apartment in Pelican Beach Resort has bathroom and car parking.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area are set on the ground floor, along with north-facing rear courtyard.

A laundry and downstairs toilet complete the ground floor while upstairs are the two bedrooms, main bathroom and an upperlevel loft.

NATURAL ASSETS ALWAYS A WINNER A quintessential environmentally-friendly, pavilion-style beach house with a northerly 40m fence-line to nature at its best – Noosa National Park, is in the dress circle of northern Sunshine Beach, and a few minutes to the sand.

It proved a winning combination on auction day.

Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Roark Walsh and Tiffany Wilson’s listing of 6 Silver Gull Ct, Sunshine Beach, attracted much interest from mainly Brisbane and local potential buyers during the marketing campaign.

And on a bright sunny day - finally - one of the three registered bidders opened the proceedings at $3.9m. It was sold for $4.3m with buyers and sellers visibly thrilled with the result.

A five-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 569sq m at 8 Weyba St, Sunshine Beach, is to go to auction at 1pm on Saturday, March 26. 270343 SUNNY OUTLOOK With a sun-splashed address just a minute to Gympie Terrace’s cafe central, also the foreshore of the Pelican Beach section of the Noosa River, Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Jesse Stowers fielded much inquiry from interested parties in Victoria, Sydney and locally, for his listing of apartment 5 Durramboi at 293 Weyba Rd, Noosaville.

Not surprising given the location. Also, the ground-floor, three-bedroom, twobathroom faded beauty has an undercover terrace and is tucked away among tropical gardens.

Thanks to a virtual tour a Victorian buyer snapped it up before the March 12 auction for $1.010m.

Blessed with simply dazzling 180-degree views, the stunning yet simplicity personified Palm Beach-inspired apartment 33 in year-round popular Noosa Pacific, at 24 Munna Cres, Noosaville, was listed

by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin.

It aroused much attraction pre auction from potential investors in Melbourne, Brisbane and other Noosa Pacific owners looking a further investment; however, was passed in, and now listed at $3.2m POSITION, ZONING BRINGING INTEREST Interest is building in the five-bedroom, twobathroom house on 569sq m at 8 Weyba St, Sunshine Beach, that is to go to auction at 1pm on Saturday, March 26.

Rob Spencer and Kathy Wise of Sunshine Beach Real Estate are marketing the large family home with studio on a duplex site.

“It’s going well,’’ Rob said. “There is early interest.

“It’s in a wonderful position, and has a north-east facing back yard.

“Whatever way you look at it this is an attractive proposition … live in, rent out, use as a weekender, update or look to the future.’’

Interest is mainly from locals and plenty from Brisbane, as well as from Sydney, Melbourne and expats from places such as Singapore.

Across two levels and surrounded by lush gardens, it is a beach house by the sea.

The upper level features hardwood timber floors with open-plan kitchen, living and dining spaces that flow onto a spacious under-roof veranda and entertaining area.

The three bedrooms situated on this level are all of large proportions with built-in robes and central to a main bathroom that has been tastefully updated.

The flexibility of this home is encompassed in the family/guest retreat on the lower level, complete with separate entry, living, main bedroom, ensuite and associated facilities.

A fifth bedroom is ideally located if needed as a home office.

A bar and billiard table can be negotiated separately.

READY FOR SUN, SEA AND SAND LURED by affordability and a short stroll to Hastings Street?

Holiday heaven awaits, with a northwardfacing, sun-splashed townhome in a popular boutique complex, with one neighbour, and a generous courtyard with direct access from Noosa Parade, also to the pool.

It’s 5-minutes to Noosa Main Beach, along the boardwalk to the Noosa National Park, for a swim in azure Laguna Bay, coffee in Hastings Street, and taking pooch to the doggy beach. All this and more add up to a not-to-be missed red-hot investment opportunity.

The secure gate opens into a paved and very private courtyard, in fact the largest in the boutique complex. It is drenched by sunshine and fringed by tropical dracaenas and lilli-pillis. Completing the alfresco space is the undercover terrace. Whether enjoying barbeques with friends, relaxing in the sun sprawled on a deck chair under an umbrella after a day at the beach, or a swim in one of the two on-site pools, the good life is all around and doesn’t get much better.

Sliders are easily pushed to one side, and in an almost seamless fashion, outside morphs indoors. Pale mochacoloured floors add a decidedly chic aesthetic, to the bright white and roomy open plan living and dining spaces, with casual beachy-style furniture in timber, and sisal rugs, white dining table plus chairs in a mocha shade, adding warmth and character.

The L-shaped contemporary kitchen with white 2-pac charcoal stone-topped cabinetry, has all the appliances and accoutrements necessary for casual meals

a supermarket, jeweller, hairdresser, liquor outlet, Noosa Ferry stop, plus nationally known restaurants, including Rickys on the waterfront.”

Two additional bedrooms have built-in robes and share a family-size bathroom, which has white tiles as per the ensuite.

“There’s so much to love about a townhome on Noosa Parade,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 26 March 2022,

“especially those looking for a sage investment opportunity in a boutique resort with only nine tightly-held townhomes and back-to-back holiday rentals.

“It is also close to many natural assets for which Noosa Heads is famous. Along Hastings Street, with its plethora of beachside restaurants, bars, boutiques, and art galleries,via the foreshore boardwalk is the Noosa National Park and world-recognised surfing reserve, while at the ‘woods-end’ of Hastings Street is the Noosa Spit Recreation Reserve.

ON THE COVER

LAIDBACK GLAMOUR WITH SUNSHINE BLISS IN the thick of Sunshine Beach’s illustrious beauty, what appears to be an understated modernist residence from the street, makes a quantum leap into an imposing sophisticated residence, 2-minutes to toesin-the sand.

Perched confidently with stunning Coral Sea views, the scene is truly picture-perfect.

Possessing a special blend of laid-back glamour and beachside bliss, the multilayered Villa Isabelle is filled with custom furniture, designer rugs, original artworks and imbued with an oceanic blue plus warm, earth-inflected palette. Chilled coastal accents mingle with European flourishes, and an abundance of light, emanating from numerous terraces, shadow dances on the sprawling clerestory-ceilinged whitewashed timber floors. Elsewhere colour and texture are enriched by natural sisal, rattan, marble, micro cement, stone, and travertine.

The vibe of bringing everything outside in, except the sand, is exemplified in the massive living spaces. Anchored by a distinctive rug inspired by the female form, two modular lounges in creamy ribbed corduroy fabric, are positioned back-to-back to take full advantage of the sea views.

Functionality and entertainment value are also imperative when it comes to dining, hence a monumental 3.5m raw timber table with seating for ten. The adjacent high-end contemporary kitchen has Ibiza pendant lights, a characteristic ceramic caltagirone head from Sicily, a commissioned tongue-in-cheek artwork called Italian Sunscreen, plus all the bells and whistles even a celebrity chef such as Jamie Oliver would love.

Living and loving the good life on this level, also revolves around the north-facing sun terrace with a pearlescent pool. Lolling on the day bed year-round is encouraged thanks to the idyllic sub-tropical climate, and under the stars is clearly a romantic option.

Four over-generous bedroom suites each have sea views, undercover terraces, ensuites, slightly different colour palettes and customised variations of curved and seashell-inspired headboards.

The master suite with walk-in robe/ dressing room also features a custom-made Lelièvere velvet daybed, custom console, and travertine-topped bedside tables. On the lower level every teen and tween’s

dream - a retreat to sleep and a hangout zone. Reminiscent of an Italian villa with arches and a few steps is a sunken lounge where sink-into sofas, television and course plenty of USB ports are de rigueur. Two sets of king single bunks and funky wallpaper complete the playful yet practical space, while in another nod to the Mediterranean is the adjoining a bathroom with custom palladiana terrazzo tiling and a curved shower archway.

Every wine lover’s dream is also catered for with a climate-controlled cellar.

“Swap the alarm for the sound of waves breaking on shore, grab surfboards, kids and dogs, because almost at the bottom of the garden is Sunshine Beach,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Michael McComas who has slated the property for a private auction on 24th March 2022. “For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle, this stunningly beautiful seaside escape, which is awash with views and is in one of the most revered streets in Sunshine Beach, simply has it all.”

SAM NOTCHES 1000 SALES SAM Plummer’s story in real estate started on the Gold Coast.

That was 24 years ago. Now, having worked in Noosa for the past 22 years, Sam has celebrated her 1000th sale.

Today, we look back on her remarkable career but also as to what lies ahead.

Karen Bester and I both came from the hotel and restaurant industry.

I made the move into Real Estate in February 1998.

Towards the end of 1999 we helped a friend relocate to Noosa for work and we discovered the beauty of Noosa and fell in love with the place. Living on the Gold Coast with a 12-month-old border collie, we loved the outdoors, but it was always a 30–45-minute drive just to get us to the beach.

We relocated here in December 2000 and started with Ken Guy Real Estate on Noosa Hill.

We were filled with trepidation as we felt Noosa Real Estate was super sharp and perhaps out of our league.

Our early training in real estate focused on specialising in a specific area and becoming an expert in that area. We chose 28 NOOSA TODAY

|

Sam Plummer: Her 1000th sale was achieved at 10 Safari St, Noosa Heads, 10 years after she first sold it. 270672 Cooloola Hill, behind the Junction because we liked the elevated leafy spot and at that time, no agency seemed interested, and word was “it was too hard an area and nobody ever sold.’’

We had found our market.

It took months of really hard work and constant rejection before we got our first

Friday, 11 March, 2022

listing. The property was 1 Safari St, Noosa Heads, and it had been languishing on the market for six months.

The agent had lost interest and questioned the owner’s choice in changing agents - asking why us as we had only been here for five minutes.

We were out the door every morning from 0.500 hours pounding the streets with letter drops and learnt absolutely everything there was to know about the area - even Bailey our dog got to know every tree.

We did this for many years, until a watershed moment changed our careers forever. We were at a real estate conference and we were being encouraged to hire a PA to better make use of our time as we had been struggling with all the paperwork keeping us in the office instead out and about with clients. We took the plunge and never looked back. Our business doubled and we could focus our energies on what we really enjoyed - listing and selling property.

Your clients are clients for life. If you service your clients well and nurture your client base, you will keep these people forever.

There is no better business than repeat

business and referral business, this is what we strived and worked so hard for.

Communication is the key. Buyers and sellers are human, all they want is help, making it as easy as possible for these people is not difficult.

Selling your asset comes with huge responsibility, and that means you need to be an expert, a professional, be well informed, and be able to provide sound advice.

You reap what you sow, the more you put in, the more you get back, this is so true.

It is a privilege to look after the sale of an owner’s largest asset and we have been privileged to sell many homes more than four times over the years.

We have formed incredible personal and professional relationships and our clients are more like family to us.

Our journey in real estate has been a roller coaster, we have worked through three downturns and three booms, it has been an unbelievable ride.

Both Karen and I retired at the end of 2017 - Karen has remained retired and living the dream. ● noosatoday.com.au

HOME FOCUS

LUXE WATERFRONT LIVING A WHISPER quiet absolute waterfront townhome with a jetty, is seemingly its own secluded paradise in a boutique-style gated enclave on a prized street at the end of a cul-de-sac, which has a pathway to the Noosa River foreshore and parallel to Gympie Terrace.

Entry on the east side is into a courtyard. Open the front door and note how the recently completed renovation exudes the bright languid echoes of summer and fuses them with flourishes of cool luxe style.

The high ceilings have feature beams and natural light dances across the polished Blackbutt timber floor in the generous living spaces. The dining area opens into the courtyard.

The lounge area, with long custom cabinetry has doors which ‘disappear’, thus amplifying the indoors-out effect, with a seamless transition to the undercover terrace, the width of the townhome. Richtoned Merbau timber decking is extended on one side with two steps and walkway to the foreshore and jetty with its deep mooring. The majority morphs into benchstyle seating. This abuts the palm and hedge-fringed lawn or if you prefer albeit small – a putting green.

You certainly get the feeling someone is about to pour a drink before a long lunch!

Don’t worry, the galley-style in-vogue kitchen with long Blackbutt-topped island bench/ breakfast bar works intuitively around everyday life, including all the bells and whistles needed for alfresco entertaining, and of course sundowners.

Look across the wide waterway to a park and imagine fishing from the jetty, kayaking around Noosa Waters or taking the boat through the lock and weir system, to the upper reaches of the Noosa River.

Upstairs reveals bright dreamy bedrooms with plush carpet. In the master suite with its walk-in robe and chic mochatiled ensuite, wake up to choruses from the local birdlife, and look over the waterway from bed as well as from the terrace. Two queen-size bedrooms have built-in robes and share a stunning main bathroom with large marble-effect tiles and deep bath. A custom-made barn door in spotted gum has been upcycled from an old marina in Tewantin.

“This is a must-see, move-in-now waterfront townhome, is in a very soughtafter location,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 26 March 2022.

“Access to the private enclave is via an electronic security gate with wide-arboured Poincianas either side. It really is a blueribbon waterside address which engages visually with the surrounding prestige

residences and is perfect for walking, cycling, kayaking, paddleboard, fishing and boating enthusiasts”.

“The cycle and walkway goes under the Gympie Terrace bridge to the Noosa River foreshore. The Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club is almost a neighbour and Gympie Terrace is nationally known as cafe and restaurant central.”

TALLOW RELEASE A RARE OPPORTUNITY ONE of Noosa’s most highly-anticipated apartment releases is being launched this week followed by an Expression of Interest campaign later this month for the first eight apartments in Tallow Residences at Settler’s Cove.

This final stage in the Settler’s Cove precinct marks a grand finale for what has become one of Noosa’s most popular enclaves among luxury apartment buyers.

These eight ‘Stage 1’ home-size, owneroccupier apartments encompass the first and smaller of the two buildings that make up Tallow Residences, with a total of 22 apartments to be offered to market in separate stages.

With only two Stage 1 apartments on each of the four floors, they provide a level of privacy that is rare even among the most luxurious residences.

Two ground-level apartments open directly onto manicured tropical gardens, while each of the two apartments on the three upper levels enjoy elevated views through and across surrounding bushland.

These beautifully bright and open apartment designs embrace the surrounding natural bushland, giving them a sense of space and tranquillity that is rare in a development so centrally positioned in Noosa.

In fact, it is this combination of innerNoosa convenience and peacefulness that has been one of the great drawcards of the Settler’s Cove precinct, set between the Noosa River and Noosa Junction with no

through-road access, yet only minutes from Hastings Street.

The same thoughtfulness in design extends to the inside of these well-

appointed and beautifully-finished apartments. Excellence in craftsmanship and quality natural finishes shine through.

When it comes to amenities you won’t

be disappointed with underground parking, pool, gym and on-site management just some of the features you can expect in a development of this quality. ●

The 0.67ha property at 168 Eumundi Rd, Noosaville, which has been in the Hanney family’s ownership since the early 1970s, is being offered for sale by expressions of interest.

The 6761sq m site is currently home to long-term Noosa businesses including Haymes Paint, Sunshine State Mowers, Poolworld Noosa and Bridgers Sheet Metal.

It includes five free-standing showrooms and warehouses totalling 1914sq m.

Offering an impressive 107-metre Eumundi Road frontage, the site benefits from a daily traffic count of approximately 17,000 vehicles which is among the highest in the Noosa area.

Major national retailers including

Bunnings, Officeworks, Mazda, Shell, KFC and Bridgestone are located on Eumundi Road highlighting the strips popularity as a destination for large format retailers and service industries.

Marketing agent Nick Dowling of Colliers said the Noosaville industrial and trade showroom market was now almost fully developed and vacancy rates very low.

“Continued growth of the Noosa catchment and its demographics has seen demand surge from tenants and owneroccupiers in recent times resulting in

recent land sales in the industrial estate at over $1000 per square metre.’’

His colleague Johnny Gooderham added: “Opportunities to acquire sites on Eumundi Road don’t come around every day.

“The Eumundi Road strip has evolved to become the premier address in the Noosaville market and 168 Eumundi Road provides opportunity to add value through further development to take a longer term view of redevelopment to capture the strong demand we are experiencing from national tenants.” ●
