Wet, wet, wet Heavy rain and strong winds of 20-30km/ hr kept all but the bravest of Noosans inside with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting a week of wet and windy conditions, continuing across the weekend. After months of wet conditions and recent damaging floods some locals were on edge fearing what might eventuate. SES Noosa local controller Warren Kuskopf said they’d received a number of calls mostly to assist with leaking roofs and requests for sandbagging. “People are getting prepared,” he said on Tuesday. “All the creeks are up, particularly in the Doonan area and everything is full. Reports are the rains are more north. We’re so saturated it won’t take much.”

Connecting food By Phil Jarratt It was billed as the Noosa premiere of Damon Gameau’s film Regenerating Australia, a timely polemic about the virtues of regenerative farming practices, but the Country Noosaorganised soiree at The Apollonian Hotel the other night was so much more. Part country fair, part old-time revival

meeting, and a little bit Woodstock without the music – although whistling accordionist Nicholas Reefman delighted the patrons on the terrace - it brought together the leading lights of Noosa’s growing new farming movement along with a lot of new and old residents just feeling their way with permaculture gardens or small acreages. After a rousing and entertaining Greetings

to Country from Udjeee Tais, Country Noosa’s Bryant Usher explained some of the objectives of the night. “What we’re trying to do is create a connection between consumers and all our people who produce food locally. We want to get into the restaurants and let them know that we can provide good, healthy local food. Regeneration is what we have in our minds and community

and connection are at the forefront of that.” With air travel and carbon offsets coming back into focus as travel restrictions ease, Bryant hit the nail on the head with this analogy. “We want to eliminate food miles – there’s food that travels way too far to be consumed, and we want to reduce or eliminate that in favour of good, locally produced food.” Continued page 2

Cutting food miles From page 1 Guest speaker Dave Rastovich, equally renowned as a champion free-surfer and committed environmentalist, explained his unique take on permaculture. “Over the last few years we’ve been creating what we call the Surfers Garden, which is basically bullet-proof. It can handle the laziness of surfers, and that enables us to be sustainable when things go pear-shaped. “In the last couple of months we’ve experienced two floods and over that trying time it was so wonderful to be able to supply food, on a small scale, to our own community. “The need for that is only going to grow with climate change and it’s good to know that our garden can withstand our surfer’s work ethic, which is pretty small when the waves are pumping.” Rasta won the hearts and minds of the surfer/growers in the audience when he concluded, “Look, we’re complete novices. I don’t have much wisdom to share, other than this – after all the wonderful times we’ve had through surfing in our family, really none of it compares to the joy we get from being able to grow food for family, friends and community”.

Next week is National Volunteer Week running from 16-22 May. Without our volunteers, Noosa would grind to a halt. There would be no more community organisations and no festivals, no Noosa Arts Theatre, galleries, historical societies or Noosa Arts and Crafts. Who would clean up the beaches, look after the natural habitat, monitor the waterways and look after those in need. We wouldn’t have Red Cross, Rotary, Lions, Katie Rose Cottage Hospice, St Vincent De Paul, Lifeline, SES, Rural Fire Brigade, Sunny Street clinic, Salvation Army, NICA, Noosa Biosphere, Landcare, Koala Crusaders or wildlife carers. Who would run the sporting clubs, school fetes and tuckshops? And who would keep us safe on the beaches without our life savers? There are many more volunteers groups and individuals not mentioned who give of their time freely. Why do they do it? There are many reasons people volunteer but without them our lives would be much poorer. Also next week on Tuesday 17 May is IDAHOT Day, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. In past years, Noosa Council has celebrated the day by raising a rainbow flag and organising events. We have yet to hear of any events to mark the occasion this year to raise awareness of LGBT rights and work.

Inclusive play area open The Hinterland Adventure Playground was officially opened on Friday 6 May by Noosa Council Mayor Clare Stewart. The high-quality architectural playground, pathway connections and carparks represent an investment of $6.7 million in the community including $2.788 million from the Queensland Government as part of the Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program. “We are absolutely thrilled to be officially opening the Hinterland Adventure Playground to our community today,” Mayor Stewart said. “The vision of creating a nature-based space where children can experience adventure play has been realised in this fantastic playground which will bring entertainment and joy to our community and visitors to our region for decades to come. “Whether you want to climb the rocket-ship to the big slide, throw a frisbee or kick a ball on the open oval, get wet in the splash pond

or challenge your balance on the fallen logs, or chill out in the quiet retreat space, there is an activity for everyone.” The Hinterland Adventure Playground offers all-abilities play and fully accessible amenities including a Changing Places room with height-adjustable adult-sized change table, a constant-charging ceiling track hoist system, a centrally-located peninsula toilet and an automatic door and privacy screen. “It was important to design this playground with the entire community in mind. The inclusive flying fox and inclusive swing play equipment provide movement and social interaction for users of all abilities and are key features of the playground,” Cr Stewart said. Deputy Premier and Local Government Minister Steven Miles said the new playground would make a positive impact on the Noosa community. “The Hinterland Adventure Playground

has supported 45 jobs, which is great for local tradies and local families,” Mr Miles said. “The Queensland Government’s successful Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program is creating real jobs across Queensland and improving liveability for communities.” The Hinterland Adventure Playground is an important recreation destination which will meet the needs of the growing hinterland area, while also supporting ongoing growth for the region. “Detailed economic and financial analysis of the playground undertaken in February 2019 by AEC Group Pty Ltd estimates over 85,000 visitors to the playground each year with an additional $344,000 injection directly into the Cooroy economy in food, beverages and retail spend,” Cr Stewart said. “In addition, visitor spend from non-locals visiting the Council area because of the existence of the playground is estimated to range

from $87 for day trippers to $163 per person for a domestic overnight visitor which represents a win across the entire shire.” In addition to the Playground construction, Council has also completed 34 new carparks, 22 overflow carparks, a new raised pedestrian crossing, additional disabled carparks as well as pathways to provide connectivity to the playground and the township of Cooroy. “Our focus throughout this project has been on engaging local contractors and local suppliers to build our local playground. Over the course of the build, we have directly engaged 37 contractors with almost 70 per cent being either local to Noosa Shire or the Sunshine Coast,” Cr Stewart said. “I welcome everyone from Noosa and surrounding areas to come and experience this truly unique adventure-based play space and congratulate all involved for creating this significant asset for the entire community.”

Wet and wild 515km race unveils champion in Brown By Abbey Cannan Markcus Brown was named the Ultraman Australia champion of 2022, finishing in first place with a sensational run in wet conditions. Over three days from Saturday 7 May to Monday 9 May, competitors undertook a gruelling 515km endurance race, starting and finishing in front of the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club. Mr Brown’s overall time was 22 hours, 51 minutes and 16 seconds. “In comparison to last year it was tough out there today,” he said. “Straight off the bat. I think my shoes were pretty much drenched within the first kilometre, so dodging the puddle game sort of gave up quickly. And it didn’t get any better. The water kept rising.” The 2022 overall female Ultraman winner Jacqueline Gaffey finished with a combined time of 28 hours, 43 minutes and 13 seconds, and was still full of energy when she spoke at the day three run event with Tim Franklin. “I was going to run that as hard as I could while smiling,” she said. The champion said she had never run in conditions as wet as that before. “It was wicked. I loved it. It was so much fun.” Mrs Gaffey said her support network had been incredible throughout the event. “Everyone else’s great support teams have helped me out too. I still think mine’s the best,” she said. “I have never ever done an event like this in my life. It’s just been extraordinary. What an amazing family. I don’t know how you’ve

fostered it or where it comes from but it affects you as you go along. It’s beautiful.” The annual event is divided into four stages over three days, and each day has a 12 hour cut-off. Day one sees a 10km swim and 140km bike ride, followed by another 281.1km on the bike on day two, and finishing with an 84.3km run on day three. Moama farmer Luke Barlow was across the finish line in 23rd place and reached his goal of raising more than $11,000 for Dolly’s Dream to take a stand against childhood bullying and cyberbullying. Founded in memory of Dolly Everett, who took her own life at the age of 14 following an extensive period of bullying and cyberbullying, Dolly’s Dream’s yearly Do It For Dolly Day aims to empower and educate the community to prevent all forms of bullying and raise awareness about its devastating effects. “It’s one thing to complete the event but to get that much support for Dolly’s Dream has just been phenomenal,” Mr Barlow said. “When I signed up for this thing, my run has always been my weakest link, so day three was always going to be the hardest day. “After an exhausting couple of days on the bike, to hear that rain on the roof all night, and to get to the start line knowing I had to run two marathons, I knew it was going to be a tough day. A lot of the streets were like rivers. My pacers kept me on track to get finished. “Once you see that surf club lit up in the rain and you can hear your name called out, it’s pretty sensational.” For more information on results visit ultramanoz.com.au or facebook.com/UltramanAustralia

A wishlist for Wide Bay The Federal Election is just a week away on 21 May with early voting having already begun on Monday. As votes are being cast for one of 10 candidates, pictured, vying for the seat of Wide Bay, Noosa Today asked Noosa’s local and state government members and community organisations: What three things would be on your wishlist from a newly elected Federal Government? Here are their responses: Noosa MP Sandy Bolton A solid commitment to resolving our housing crisis/emergency and homelessness via affordable homes/accommodations with specifics beyond for first home buyers. This is affecting not only our most vulnerable, it affects our workers and retirees, our businesses and social fabric, our domestic violence victims, and our children and grandchildren. This takes all levels of government to resolve and needs more than bandaids and shelving responsibility to another level of government. A solid commitment to the funding of hospital and health services, including ensuring that our elderly and those through the NDIS are cared for. There can be no more maybes in relation to either the level of care, including palliative, or salaries for those who do this care. A solid commitment to really listen to what our communities seek from government, versus blanket policies developed through party ideology that can have vested interests and a lack of understanding as to what is sought at grass roots. This includes surety around adaptation to climate change and reducing emissions, environmental processes and protections under the EPBC Act, and appropriate consultation

processes that include the Councillors and MPs that represent these communities. Noosa Shire Council - Mayor Clare Stewart Noosa Council has identified key sporting precincts as potential funding priorities for the next Federal Government. Council has developed masterplans for Noosa District Sports Complex and Cooroy Sports Complex. Mayor Clare Stewart said Council is at the frontline in shaping liveability of their communities. “These are shovel ready projects and funding them would significantly enhance the prosperity of Noosa residents,” she said. Council also supports any move to make the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program a permanent, federally-funded initiative, to support important infrastructure projects. Noosa Council remains committed to working with the Federal and State Government on practical solutions to address the affordable housing crisis. Noosa Chamber of Commerce - president Ralph Rogers The chamber thinks three vital initiatives we would like the federal government to consider introducing are: Instigate a policy of providing low cost loans (rather than grants) to each LGA (where required) so that each local area can (within their local economic plans) set up on a private public partnership basis local economic development corporations charged with the responsibility to grow/rebalance local economies. This would assist in transitioning to Australian made as and where its practical. Negotiate with state governments to re-

· ·

move stamp duty on real estate transactions to assist with housing affordability. Move federal government departments to regional centres, which would assist in getting well paid jobs and skills into regional Australia. Where an entity is primarily overseas owned and where there is a significant disparity between total sales and income. In other words where multinationals are using transfer pricing and licence/royalty agreements to ensure minimal or no tax is payable introduce a turnover tax rather than the current tax on nett income to ensure multinationals pay their fair share of tax on sales earned in Australia.

Tourism Noosa - chief executive officer Melanie Anderson A dedicated, ongoing tourism infrastructure grant fund for regional Australia. To change the old age pension so that retired Australians can earn up to $50k per year and still receive the pension. Therefore, encouraging older workers back into the workforce which will help the tourism and hospitality sectors. That the visitor visas are changed so that international visitors on a work visa can work at the same place for 12 months. Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation As the effects of climate change continue to wreak havoc on our communities, our infrastructure, our economy and our natural ecosystems, seeking local solutions to the global challenges of climate change is now critical. We would request a solid commitment from the Federal Government to take urgent action on addressing the socio-economic drivers of climate change, by moving swiftly to a carbon neutral future, restoring natural habitats, controlling groundwater and runoff,

increasing water capture, reducing waste and securing local food networks. The MAB programme puts people at the centre of finding local solutions to achieve sustainable development and conserve biodiversity while supporting happy, healthy and thriving communities. We would ask the Federal Government to provide greater support to the existing biosphere reserves and to extend the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme across Australia. Noosa has a strong track record of achieving this fine balance between people and nature and would seek support to establish a national centre of excellence for research, education and community action programs in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By sharing our knowledge with our local, national and international networks, we can find solutions to the global challenges of climate change. Noosa and District Landcare - president Phil Moran Extend Reef funding to Noosa River catchment or at least acknowledge water quality issues in wetlands of national importance which Noosa is listed - environment.gov.au/ cgi-bin/wetlands/report.pl More money to tackle priority weeds – Cats Claw Creeper Vine and Madeira Vine without the need for it to be innovative approaches. Threatened species funding expansion with climate change considerations in mind. Greater support for land and river resilience in the face of a changing climate – strategic restoration and protection. Appropriate development planning to reduce valuable vegetation and fauna loss/impact and improve community safety. Support for green retrofitting our urban spaces.

Candidate answers questions on issues Last week Noosa Today asked our 10 candidates vying for the seat of Wide Bay: 1. What do you identify to be the top three issues affecting the people of Noosa? 2. If you were elected to represent the seat of Wide Bay what would you do to fix these three issues? Candidate Andrea Newland, Informed Medical Options Party, responded after our deadline. Here was her response. 1. As the Covid narrative has shown, you can’t be 100 per cent reliant on any one industry. Noosa needs to take away its reliance on tourism and hospitality by offering a larger array of jobs for our locals such as an education sector, tech industry, medical industry, etc. 2. Restrictions and mandates revoked, ex-

cept in business, the fact is, it’s hard to get a job when you need to show proof of vaccine status. New workers are being asked to show proof of the tick and vaccinated workers are asked to keep boosters up. Stop the mandates on business to get people back in work to increase the economy, encouraging needs and personal security. 3. Unemployment (benefits) of $45 a day is not enough to live on. Jobseeker benefits needs to be increased to assist the cost of living expenses as deciding between either groceries or power or medical bills should not be a choice. Stop business mandates to increase employment opportunities. Noosa needs an increase of one to two

bedroom units to accommodate safety and security needs. Dental, health and mental health on Medicare needs an overhaul to better cover costs, and alternative traditional and natural therapies options should be developed.

Llew O’Brien LNP Youturn Youth Support As a youth not-for-profit working in South East Queensland for over 30 years, Youturn Youth Support would welcome additional commitment and funding in these areas: 1. Housing and homelessness. We would love federal government commitment to a long term housing strategy. Specifically, mobilising additional funding to local and state government to boost supply of affordable housing. 2. Mental health and suicide prevention: The mental health and suicide prevention plan is a massive step in the right direction. It would be great, regardless of whomever is elected, if they can honour the commitments from the plan. 3. Noosa specific: Youturn manages four full headspace sites and one satellite site. One of these full sites is the Maroochydore headspace. 12 per cent of the young people attending Maroochydore headspace are from the Noosa LGA, and five per cent of the young people attending Gympie headspace were also from the Noosa LGA. However, Maroochydore headspace is funded less than any of our other sites and is one of the busiest in the country. There has been no CPI-type increase in the headspace contracts since they commenced in 2012, despite inflation and increase in fixed costs during this time. As a result, it is difficult to attract and retain clinicians in a competitive market. With such tight funds and limited clinicians we can only support so many young people. This at times can end up resulting in a waitlist of up to six months. More funding for this essential program is required to ensure the young people in Noosa receive timely care. NoosaCare aged care provider 1. Increased and secure funding. 2. Reduced red tape and compliance obligations. 3. Better recognition of the valuable contribution of the aged care workforce.

Man charged with multiple sex offences Following a public appeal, police have laid further charges in relation to Operation Uniform Strix with a further five complaints from women who came forward following a man being charged in March. The 24 latest charges include rape, deprivation of liberty, disabling in order to commit indictable offence and stalking, following the investigations of a joint operation by detectives from the Sunshine Coast Criminal Investigation Branch and the Sexual Crimes Group. Operation Uniform Strix began after police received a report through the QPS Alternative Reporting Option (ARO) from one of the women, and initial investigations identified the three other victims. The series of sex offences are alleged to have occurred against a total of 24 victims aged between 15 years and their mid-20s. Police will allege the man’s offending involved a protracted series of incidents which included stalking, hacking computer devices, accessing social media accounts, breaking into a home and exerting coercive control/threats over the victims. The man was set to reappear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 6 May and this operation remains on-going with detectives appealing for anyone with information relevant to the investigation to contact them. Anyone wishing to make a make a complaint to police in relation to sexual violence can do so via the link to the guide, My questions and my choices.

Nod for ag tourism Coolum Beach will become home to a 6.8 hectare agri-tourism venture promising a paddock-to-plate experience after Sunshine Coast Council gave development approval to Barns Lane Farm. The brainchild of co-founders Helen Grant, Jason Grant and Jonathan Leishman it plans to showcase the region’s best of everything and connect locals and tourists with the hinterland with a 2000 sqm Produce Hall that will trade seven days a week and house over 50 shortterm and long-term stallholders. “The Produce Hall will provide a neverbefore-seen opportunity for local producers, without being subjected to trading restrictions and weather conditions. It will offer multiple connections to the market including selling

direct to the public and supplying on-site restaurants and vendors,” Jason Grant said. “It caters to the many tastes and needs of families and foodies. Other attractions include a distillery, brewery, dining, adventure play areas, animal farms, tours, a performance stage and much more,” Helen Grant said. Visit Sunshine Coast chief executive officer Matt Stoeckel said the project would cater to a huge demand for agri-tourism experiences. “The new product will go a long way in cementing our profile as a leading agri-tourism destination,” he said. Coolum State School principal Anthony Ryan said having the farm on their doorstep was really exciting. “We’ve already implemented Barns Lane

Farm themes into our curriculum, and we look forward to furthering partnership opportunities,” he said. It’s expected Barns Lane Farm will create over 170 full-time equivalent jobs across a range of industries and provide vast community and educational opportunities. “We’re growing and supporting local in every sense of the word, including through our Joint Venture with josephmark for the Agtech incubator Dirt Lab, which will nurture local innovation,” Jonathan Leishman said. Construction will commence soon, with the opening set for mid-2023 with future stages planned for a 26-room boutique hotel suite and a 150-seat function venue, ideal for rural destination weddings and events.

Capital works delays pose a challenge By Margie Maccoll Floods, Covid and staff shortages have impacted the delivery of Noosa Council’s Capital Works Program with four major projects delayed, 130 Council assets impacted and ongoing rains creating unexpected works that are further delaying projects. At its services and organisation committee meeting on Tuesday, councillors heard how floods in February had redirected staff and resources away from capital works as were slippages at Sobroan and Adams streets, Sunrise Beach and a major slippage at Black Mountain Road which continued to be unstable. The meeting also heard how Council was having difficulties recruiting staff to fill vacant positions in project management, design and supervisory roles which further impacted project delivery.

Council heard only one applicant had responded to a recent advertisement for a project superintendent and that person was finding accommodation hard to get. “We’re having to work with that person to find accommodation,” a council officer said. “We have a program but it’s the things we can’t control, those are the unknowns. “Every week we lose another million we haven’t achieved to our end goal.” Council also heard Covid had disrupted both council staff and contractors and the current demands generally for labour, equipment and materials in a “hot” construction industry was proving challenging. A report on the Capital Works program up to 31 March that was delivered to the meeting showed capital works expenditure for the 2021-2022 financial year was $48m with 49.6 per cent of the budget spent.

On a positive note, the road reseal program was on track for completion by 30 June having expended $3.9m of the $5.3m budget. There are 26 multi-year projects in various stages of completion and Council’s Design Services team were working on the design of 13 projects with a design value of $970,000 and estimated construction value of $19m and the team were supporting the Delivery team in the construction of more than $20m worth of infrastructure and the disaster recovery effort. Councillors praised the efforts of staff in accessing 73 per cent of capital projects through state and federal government funding grants delivering a huge saving for ratepayers and thanked them for their efforts in delivering the recently opened Hinterland playground at Cooroy and the soon to be opened Peregian Beach Community House.

Village history launched By Phil Jarratt A rain-bomb was predicted to arrive at any minute but nothing was going to dampen the enthusiasm of the Verrierdale pioneer families as they gathered at their beautiful tongue and groove community hall to celebrate the launch of a history written by the community, for the community. I previewed History of Verrierdale 18601960 in these pages a month ago, but I hadn’t seen the finished product until last weekend. It’s a little beauty, all the more to be treasured because it is almost entirely the work of the descendants of the settler families, working alongside more recent arrivals who have also embraced the village’s rich and previously untold history. Of course, Sunshine Coast Council helped to fund the print bill and, following some pressure from the cheekier pioneers, Ninderry LNP MP Dan Purdie agreed to cough up for some other outstanding bills, but by and large it was 18 months of self-funded hard yakka for the group assembled by editor Kathy Lynch and her husband Phil Connard, long-time residents who’d gone looking for a local history and found there wasn’t one. As Kathy told the launch crowd: “We started this project at an Australia Day gathering in this hall last year, not really knowing how we were going to get a book done, so we just talked about it to the audience that day and asked how many people would be prepared to help. “Suddenly there was a sea of hands and we had our core team. Over many cups of tea and a few drinks, we got this book together. “There wasn’t very much information around about the early Verrierdale community and how it came to be, but we looked high and low through the various websites and archives and books until we began to find our story.” Within the core team of five who helped Kathy and Phil research and write the book

Accordionist Rose entertains the gathering.

The people of the book. L to R front row: Bill Barry, Dan Purdie MP, Fay Wiggins, Kent Hartshorn. Kathy Lynch, Phil Connard, Cr Maria Suarez. Back row: Sue Fingleton. Fay Rimmington, Yvonn Astill. were two descendants of important settler families. Fay Rimmington’s grandparents Robert and Lizzie Butler arrived from England in 1913 and took up 320 acres, where they cut timber and ran dairy cattle, later supplying cream for the Eumundi Butter Factory. Later, Fay’s father Frank moved from dairy to banana growing and small cropping. Her early memories include riding her horse to school. Fay Wiggins was one of five children of Ted and Thelma Lynch who arrived in Verrierdale in 1943 and grew bananas, pineapples and paw paws, as well as keeping dairy cattle and pigs. Ted later expanded his interest in beef cattle and crossed breeds for better results.

A resourceful and hardworking couple, Ted and Thelma used to split fence posts together, and as a young girl Fay also became proficient with the crosscut saw. Former Maroochy Shire councillor Kent Hartshorn was also part of the broader team, and could claim his own settler stock, having been born in Verrierdale soon after his parents Fred and Win arrived in 1954 to start farming. There being no house on the property, Kent and his two older brothers got their first taste of Verrierdale life in a 24 x 12 foot packing shed. As the formalities drew to a close at the Verrierdale Hall, former students of Verrierdale State School (closed 1963) were asked to come forward. Half the audience got up.

Then Kent Hartshorn called for the telling of tales from the legendary past, promising there would be free beer to follow. A little old lady stood up and nervously told how she and her sister had gone to a fancy dress party at the hall in blue crepe paper dresses their mother had made. Finding form now, she added: “But that’s nothing compared to my Uncle Frank, who went to a New Year’s Eve party here dressed as a baby. He borrowed a bed sheet from his mum and made a nappy, then he went down to the creek behind their house and smeared mud all over the back of the nappy and down the back of his legs. Apparently it caused quite a stir.” Huge applause and the flood gates had opened. While blokes vied for the microphone to recall having to push the family ute up the big hills to get to the Saturday night pictures in Eumundi, it was time to slip out the back, Jack.

It’s what Friends are for the community that came together this morning for our Noosa Beach Clean Up!” But Kirra also noted things are not always what they seem at the beach. “At first glance, our beaches seem pretty clean, but if you look a little closer you’ll be amazed at what you’ll find, from micro-plastics to polystyrene, confectionery wrappers and more.” The beach cleanup was supported by Noosa Council, who supplied the jumbo size cleanup bags, and Plastic Free Noosa who recorded and separated the rubbish. In addition to the Noosa World Surfing Reserve and its growing band of Friends, volunteers included members of Noosa Malibu Club, Noosa Boardriders Club, Noosa Heads SLSC and Surfrider Sunshine Coast.

About 40 Friends of Noosa World Surfing Reserve gathered under threatening skies at dawn last Saturday to give the wide expanse of Main Beach a good clean. Isn’t that what friends are for! Since the Friends program was launched earlier this year as a support force for the 10th world surfing reserve, the NWSR stewardship council has been building an events schedule to engage the growing number of people signing up as Friends, and the humble beach clean-up was the first. Chris Doney, who has represented Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club on the stewardship committee since its inception in 2014, and has also been key man on the Friends project, enlisted the support of surf club president Ross Fisher and his crew who put on a barbecue breakfast for the volunteers. NWSR president Kirra Molnar was thrilled the first Friends event attracted such great support, posting on social media, “Absolutely massive thank you to

Shark nets are removed Forecast bad weather has forced the temporary removal of Shark Control Program nets from Sunshine Coast beaches. Fisheries Queensland Shark Control Program Operations Coordinator Sam Fary said a significant weather event with winds predicted to be around 30 knots and up to four metres of swell was expected to affect the majority of Queensland’s east coast until Sunday. “Shark Control Program nets have been temporarily removed from all Gold and Sunshine Coast beaches, however, drumlines will remain in the water,” Mr Fary said. “We will keep a close eye on the weather and teams are ready to respond to re-install the gear, or check gear that couldn’t be removed, when the weather conditions allow. “Removing the nets is normal practice when rough weather is predicted.” Mr Fary said temporarily removing the equipment was also a public safety issue.

“High seas can cause some equipment to come adrift, and loose shark control equipment can be a danger to swimmers and boats,” Mr Fary said. “Anyone who sees any unsecured shark control equipment including ropes, netting or buoys, should call the Shark Control Program Hotline on 1800 806 891. “Swimmers are also advised to follow safe swimming practices, including swimming between the flags and not swimming at dusk or dawn, particularly with the shark control equipment out of action temporarily. “In rough conditions, it’s important that people take advice from lifesavers and lifeguards as to whether they should go into the water.” Forecast bad weather has forced the temporary removal of Shark Control Program nets from Sunshine Coast beaches.

Industrial vacuum plan for beach polystyrene clean up The latest weapon in the battle to rid Noosa’s eastern beaches of tiny polystyrene particles is set to hit the sand in coming weeks. Noosa Council will deploy an industrial vacuum to two of the worst affected areas, after the recent heavy rain has passed. Acting Environment Services Manager Shaun Walsh said the vacuum – mounted on a four-wheel-drive vehicle - was equipped with a screen to filter the polystyrene from the sand. “We’ll be concentrating on the dune areas behind the beach where a lot of the smaller particles have settled, carried by the wind,” he said.

Council staff will follow behind the beach vacuum crew collecting remaining mess by hand. Mr Walsh said residents had done a tremendous job supporting the clean-up by collecting particles by hand, but Council was working hard to find a more efficient solution. “Unfortunately there is not really any technology purpose-built for removing polystyrene from sand – it’s an unusual situation and certainly not a problem we’ve seen before, but we are delighted to be using this commercial scale equipment in the cleanup,“ he said.

“Stakeholders from across the state are very interested in the outcomes of these works as there’s no known technology to deal with this mess. “In the meantime, bags will remain at the busier beach access points and we greatly appreciate the continued efforts of residents who grab a bag and help collect the polystyrene.” The polystyrene is from pontoons that washed ashore during recent floods. While the pontoons were removed in a complicated joint salvage mission by Council and MSQ weeks ago, tackling the polystyrene particles left behind is an ongoing challenge.

Councillor Joe Jurisevic said it was exciting to see Noosa become part of a true circular economy initiative. “We need to get better at recognising that products we would have only thought of as waste in the past can actually be reused, and this is a tangible, productive way to reduce what goes to landfill and help minimise our impact on the environment,” he said.

For the last 12 months, Lifeline warehouses have been scoured in the search for high-end denim and country apparel, resulting in a bountiful collection. With a shop full from the time it opened each day, Cooroy Lifeline store manager Deborah Daybell said the highly anticipated event hadn’t disappoint with some spectacular items being available. “Vintage denim, leather boots, leather bags, leathers belts, we have got it all,” Ms Daybell said. “Not only have we been collecting from our warehouses, but we sourced from overseas suppliers, and you’ll be amazed at the authentic variety of pieces we have available.“ Amongst the sale items were leather belts, bags, jackets, RM Williams goods and DrizaBone jackets and the stocks were refreshed continuously. The sale, taking place this year from 30 April, has become a staple on the Sunshine Coast’s fashion calendar with people travelling from the Gold Coast, Brisbane and beyond to see what gems they can find. “Over the years, this sale has developed a reputation for having high-quality, incredible pieces, and it’s something we are really proud of,” Ms Daybell said. “It’s a mammoth effort each year, but we love it. “It’s just fabulous when people come in, and find something really unique, something that you won’t otherwise find off the rack in other stores.“ The sale will continue over the next couple of weeks depending on how fast the stock disappears.

CWA gives The Tewantin Noosa branch of the CWA hosted Michelle Lipner from Oz Harvest at their evening recently to learn about the vital role of Oz Harvest in distributing food to local people in need. Oz Harvest is focused on food security and food waste in Australia. More than 7.6 billion tonnes of food is wasted in Australia each year. Vegetables, bread, fruit, bagged salad, and leftovers are the top most wasted food. The biggest challenges Oz Harvest has identified for people receiving donations are the cost of living, casualisation of the work force and job security. Oz Harvest figures show that 64 per cent of people needing food are employed. The Tewantin Noosa branch presented Michelle with a cheque for $300. During 2021 the local CWA branch made several donations to enable Oz Harvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie Chapter to buy food

during the Covid epidemic when donations were limited with supply chain problems. There has been a 50 per cent increase in demand during Covid. Currently Oz Harvest is supporting an extra 50 families in Gympie who have lost their homes in the recent floods as well as 40 local agencies and charities. More funds will be raised by the Tewantin Noosa CWA at their next street stall on Saturday 16 May outside the hall in Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin (beside the Post Office). Sales of home baking, preserves, plants and expert handicrafts start at 8am and finish at 10:30am. If you need food or would like to volunteer to help collect and distribute food, please contact Oz Harvest by registering online at ozharvest.org or on Facebook by searching for Ozharvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie.

Shared story helps others Noosa resident Jo Yates was diagnosed with low-grade serous ovarian cancer in 2021 at age 42. She’s sharing her story as part of a global campaign by research charity Cure Our Ovarian Cancer to raise awareness of symptoms in younger women for World Ovarian Cancer Day on 8 May. Over 1600 women in Australia will receive a diagnosis of ovarian cancer this year. According to Professor Anna DeFazio of the University of Sydney and the Westmead Institute for Medical Research, too many of these women have never even heard of ovarian cancer before facing the realisation that they now have a life-threatening disease. “While the symptoms are subtle, women need to be aware and know that if they have a combination of these symptoms, and if they are persistent, that they should see their doctor,“ Professor DeFazio said. “The symptoms include tummy pain, bloating, urinary urgency and changes in bowel habits.” Jo said she was told her situation was pretty rare. “Because the masses on both ovaries weren’t cancerous but when they did a biopsy after my hysterectomy they found cancerous cells elsewhere,“ she said. She was diagnosed with ovarian borderline tumours which are a pre-cancerous condition. At least 10 percent of people with advanced borderline tumours go on to develop lowgrade serous ovarian cancer. Borderline tumours are normally treated with just surgery, but because low-grade serous ovarian cancer was also found Jo’s doctors recommended chemotherapy. “Dedicated research over the last decade has led to the recognition that ovarian cancer is not the same in every patient. There are different subtypes of ovarian cancer, and some are so different that they could almost be con-

It is challenging because even within low-grade serous ovarian cancer, there can be marked differences in the molecular tumour characteristics in one patient compared to the next.“ Though ovarian cancer isn’t detected by

cervical screening, it was an irregular Pap smear which lead to the scans which found her ovarian tumours. Jo said she was fit and healthy and enjoying an active lifestyle at the time. “It was total luck,” she said. “I’m eternally grateful to my doctor for taking it seriously as other doctors have said they wouldn’t have worried about it. “I had no idea I had anything wrong with me. I hadn’t really heard of ovarian cancer and had no idea of the symptoms.”

Jo is sharing her story as part of a global campaign by research charity Cure Our Ovarian Cancer. She is coming to terms with the changes in her body. “I feel confident in my medical team and for a good outcome but hate the way I look at the moment,“ Jo said. Cure Our Ovarian Cancer founder Jane Ludemann said stories like Jo’s showed that ovarian cancer could affect women of any age. On World Ovarian Cancer Day, they are hoping women will visit ovariancancerchecker.org to complete a short symptoms checker to understand if they could be at risk.

Care in play By Abbey Cannan Noosa’s first Neuroplay Australia facility has opened and is set to support children’s wellbeing through science and play therapy. Neuroplay Australia founder and registered play therapist Talia Antoni said play therapy is for children what ’talk therapy’ or counselling is for adults. “We are committed to creating a safe and supportive space for children and their families that is deeply embedded within the Noosa community and directed at ensuring their safety and wellbeing,” Ms Antoni said. “It is estimated that 70 per cent of childhood mental health issues can be solved with early intervention and therapy. Appropriate interventions for children not only benefit the child and family, but also have broader community benefits.” With a Master of Child Play Therapy from Deakin University, Ms Antoni said play therapy was a valuable, credible, and professional therapeutic intervention. “Children aged three to 13 benefit from this approach as an appropriate intervention when they are experiencing emotional, behavioural or psychological difficulties,” she said. “Neuroplay Australia aims to raise the selfesteem and confidence of all children, to create a sense of cohesion and belonging, a sense of connection with others, to increase emotional expression appropriately and to experience fun and joy.” Neuroplay Australia is located at the Noosa Leisure Centre and offers humanistic play therapy, family filial therapy and the Learn to Play program. The Neuroplay program and group play therapy sessions are held at Sunshine Butterflies community facility, Our Backyard, on a weekly basis. Talia is also able to provide a mobile service and this may include a child’s home, hospital, educational setting, or care

Maybe you’d like to share what makes them special in the eyes of your club or organisation? Celebrating its sixth year, the latest opportunity to honour our unsung heroes comes in the form of the 2022 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards.

Sandy Bolton MP joined award partners Helen Hollingworth from Cooroy RSL and Noosa Today’s Abbey Cannan to give us a look at the medallions to be presented to each of the award recipients. “Queensland Day is an opportunity to celebrate our culture, heritage, people and unique identity. “We also get to honour our inspiring Queensland role models who encourage us all to do better and be better. So many of our Noosa locals do this by volunteering for the benefit of others and for our collective community,” Sandy said. A great response is expected again this year and nominations will be accepted until the Sunday 15 May deadline. The awards are open to first-time award recipients who have volunteered for a minimum of two years for the Noosa electorate. There is a limit of two nominations per organisation. Every completed nomination will see the recipient presented with a personalised Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award Medallion and a certificate of recognition at a Queensland Day Ceremony on Monday 6 June at The J.

Our therapeutic program can assist with: • Parents and Child relationship • Build regulation capacity & aid anxiety • Support externalised behaviour systems & meltdowns • Help establish a basis for strong mental health Please contact us for further information, or to arrange an initial parent consultation to assess whether play therapy is suitable for your child.

The music runs from 2-5pm with another great local line-up featuring Sari Abbott, Patch Brown, Staple and Lucid Safari. Pack your picnic rug for this fabulous family-friendly afternoon of free live music in Dick Caplick Park, right in the centre of town Eumundi. Sari Abbott is a powerhouse of an original singer/songwriter and guitarist, unapologetically standing on her own two feet and letting her soothing vocals, stirring words and gentle acoustic evoke emotions. A 2021 graduate from The Academy of Country Music, Sari is constantly testing her songwriting skills. She was awarded runner-up in the Tamworth Songwriter Association’s Talent Search 2020/2021, won the title of 2021 TSA National Junior Songwriter, was Top 10 in the 2019 Gympie Music Muster Talent Search, and Top 30 in the Australian Songwriters Association 2021.

Patch Brown has been entertaining since his teens. Starting out as a busker while living in London, Patch cut his teeth playing over 225 shows a year touring the Whitsundays in Central Queensland, Canada and Spain, where he was based for a spell. Long time guitarist with Sarah McLeod from ARIA award-winning band The Superjesus and side-man to Jeff Martin from Canadian band The Tea Party, Patch now resides on The Sunshine Coast where he performs regularly.

It’s all about the animals Mary Valley Artslink’s annual event, the Mary Valley Art Festival, is playing host to a very special project for young people in 2022. The Youth Art Project invites high school age youth to take part in a series of four mural paintings led by the award-winning artist Fiona Groom. It’s all about animals in Fiona’s world, with her art capturing the humour and quirkiness of animals. Some of us have special memories of favourite pets that make us smile and feel special inside. Or maybe it’s wild creatures that stir you, with their majesty and beauty. Well, now is your chance to capture this experience in your writing. Participants are requested to submit stories or poems in any form, for example rhyme, free verse, limerick, or haiku themed on animals, pets or fauna to approximately 100 words in length. Whether you submit written work or not, young people can then be involved in painting the animal-themed murals which will be on display in Imbil during the festival. For more information and key dates, contact Jo Buchanan on 0408 881 256. Written submissions close on 27 May. You can find out more about the artist at fmgfionagroomvisualartist.com The festival runs from 21 to 24 July at the Imbil Public Hall from 10am to 3pm daily. Celebrated festival partners include Ron Jeffery Realty, Gympie and District Bendigo Bank, Mary Valley Chamber of Commerce, Twin Bunya Park, Thunderbird Demolition and Lady Penelope.

The Guide MY MARKET KITCHEN SBS Food, Friday, 5pm

One of the hardest things about being an adult is working out what to eat each day. When you’re a kid, no one really warns you that one day you’ll have to cook yourself three meals a day – every single day. That’s why fun and lighthearted shows like this exist: to inspire eaters to create a different dish besides slapdash roast chicken or pasta. Tonight, Khanh Ong (pictured with co-host Elena Duggan) whips up a traditional Vietnamese savoury pancake; you won’t be the only one wishing he was cooking in your kitchen, instead of the one on your TV. THE YORKSHIRE VET 7TWO, Saturday, 7.30pm

The green pastures and hay meadows of Yorkshire are a sight to behold, but it’s the camaraderie between vets Julian Norton and Peter Wright (pictured) that offers the real feel-good viewing. Tonight, season 11 of the family-friendly series premieres, and it’s not without its unique countryside challenges. Julian heads to an emergency at Jackie’s alpaca farm, but two tractors stand in his way. Peter returns to the Greens’ farm after lockdown, where there’s a heap of veterinary work awaiting him. LEGO MASTERS Nine, Sunday, 7pm

Creativity is the name of the game in this lively competition hosted by comedian Hamish Blake (pictured), and tonight it pays for the teams to have their heads in the clouds. With an elimination looming at the end of the episode, the teams are given a LEGO cloud and challenged to build something amazing to live on it. With 14 hours on the clock to whip up their creations, it’s much more than an average day’s work – but for these teams it’s a dream come true. After all, most of them dedicate hours on a normal day to LEGO.

PICK OF THE WEEK SPACE 22 ABC TV, Tuesday, 8pm

What’s this mysterious Space 22, you ask. It’s not a new sci-fi series or a funky new drama, but rather a bold, heartwarming social experiment. Named after the large warehouse space where most of this six-part documentary was filmed, it follows seven diverse Australians with mental illhealth as they embark upon a journey of creativity and art therapy to improve their wellbeing. Hosted by former Neighbours star and singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte (pictured), along with art psychotherapist Noula Diamantopoulos, this emotional premiere sees multimedia artist Abdul Abdullah guide the participants, including former police officer Tracey, to project their emotions onto an object.

Under the guidance of Noosa’s renowned painters, Dale Leach and Fiona Groom, and with the help of volunteers, the ladies enjoyed a wonderful, inspiring time and completed a painting to take home.

Orchids may challenge the grower but Lois steps up By Margie Maccoll Lois Walters became hooked on orchids when as a 12 year-old Sydney girl she was given a handful of cymbidium back bulbs and told if she looked after them they would flower in five years. “When I was 17, they flowered,“ she said. Growing orchids has presented her with a challenge ever since. Sadly, when she moved to Noosa 20 years ago, the differing climate prevented her from growing the same orchids she had in NSW and despite her efforts, her Sydney cymbidiums have never flowered in the sunshine state. Last weekend Lois won second and third placings at the Noosa Orchid Show at Cooroy with John Green, the Noosa Orchid and Foliage Society life member and local orchid legend submitting the show’s champion. “The thing with orchids is you have to replicate the conditions they came from in the world,“ Lois said. Things can go wrong without the right amount of watering, the right potting mix, keeping them tight in their pots or having the right climate. Grown under shade cloth at her house is her collection of a variety of orchids and foli-

Rainbow exhibition unites By Jacqueline Trewin Noosa MP Sandy Bolton will open a group exhibition at Max Galleria to celebrate its first birthday featuring works from 12 Sunshine Coast artists. Entitled Rainbow Planet, the muchanticipated launch will take place in Tewantin on Friday 20 May from 6pm to 9pm with the exhibition running until Saturday 11 June. Inspired by gallery curator Maxine Stibbe, a finalist in the national Lyn McRea Contemporary Drawing Prize 2021, the vibrant artworks reflect the theme of all things rainbow at a time of geopolitical unrest. “I chose the theme after realising that the happiness created from rainbows from children to elders was a beautiful symbolic gesture in times of war and recessions worldwide,” Ms Stibbe said. “I feel in times of uncertainty rainbows are a sign of hope, luck and happiness.. simple joy of light arced in the sky, adored worldwide for its simplicity and beauty.” But celebrating the rainbow of multiculturalism with polyculturalism also adds meaningful colour to this collective, inviting viewers with the perspective of embracing a common humanity, which resonates with Ms Stibbe. “This exhibition is a reference to the polycultural, multicultural genetics of the Australian population. We are a rainbow-blooded people,” Ms Stibbe said. “I grew up in a very multicultural town in West End, Brisbane, and when moving to the Noosa Shire I found gorgeous pockets of rainbow-coloured diversity and inclusivity,” Ms Stibbe said. “My genetic ancestry has Celtic and Hebrew roots. The art gallery beside me has an Irish-Indigenous Australian. My landlord is German-Australian. I have Maori, Polish and many other peoples from various ancestries

side me has a New Zealander, and a chef who’s originally from the Philippines. There’s a genetically diverse group of people in the one spot. “And of course, the rainbow is also a reference to our fabulous LGBTQIA+ community in the Noosa Shire. So, I believe we really represent the local population like a rainbow,” Ms Stibbe said. Drawing parallels between ancient stories with contemporary dialogue, Ms Stibbe reflected on the mythological representation of this natural phenomena, which plays a significant role in traditional folklore. “Most cultures love rainbows, having similar mythology. For instance, the Rainbow Serpent of our Australian Traditional Custodians and Quezatacotal, the feathered serpent deity of the Aztecs. Also, the Norse had Bifrost, a rainbow bridge, as do the Japanese with the Floating Bridge of Heaven,” Ms Stibbe said. “Buddists believe the rainbow is the highest state achievable before Nirvana. Iris the Rainbow goddess in Greek Mythology linked the gods with humanity between heaven and earth. Then there’s the Irish legend about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and the Chinese Rainbow Dragons. “Symbolism is powerful, and the intent of this exhibition is to recognise we are all human regardless of our ideologies, theories, races or genders.” Contributing artist Jane Parker said she looked forward to presenting her work at the exhibition where there was the unique opportunity to collaborate with local artists. “I’m really excited about this exhibition and grateful that Maxine has this gallery as a community-orientated space for local artists. It’s a venue where people can share views and feel free to exhibit their work. There aren’t very many art galleries like that on the Sunshine Coast at all,” Ms Parker said. “My work is mainly based in dreams. I see

a theme and it’ll be in a dream. The rainbow theme to me is an inclusive, positive theme which incorporates all different elements in harmony with various colours. It can also incorporate many different interpretations. “I know with this exhibition there’s a huge range of ideas about rainbows that invites a lot of different ideas about the world,” Ms Parker said. Rainbow Planet will be exhibiting painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, ceramic, prints and aerosol from renowned local artists, including: Maxine Stibbe, Jane Parker, Denva Estreich/Djinda (Kabi Kabi/Wakka Wakka), Susan Neuvonen, Alison Taylor, Domenique Wood, Matt Bushell, Tracey Mills/ Jingiwalla,(Bundgalung/Maori), Mia Hacker, Angela Davies, Kennedy Webb and Laurie Brown. Community-focused Ms Stibbe was thrilled to support this colourful art collective in the local community. “I’m very proud to be representing a local Indigenous Kabi Kabi artist Denva Estreich/ Djinda whose work is exquisite, gentle and timeless. Dominique Wood has superb, layered Klimt-like mixed-media works. Mia Hacker has hauntingly beautiful, dark, and emotive large-scale digital photography. “We also have Angela Davies presenting a huge mixed media works made from stamps. Kennedy Webb has got the most amazingly intricate, geometric drawing in print form. And there’s some stunning photography of the local area by Laurie Brown. “So, this exhibition has some extraordinary pieces from diverse artists to lift everyone’s spirits,” Ms Stibbe said.

Mayors group delivering By joining the Council of Mayors (SEQ) for an investment of $70,000, the Noosa Shire has already benefited by receiving $3.58 million in funding from the first round of the SEQ City Deal to kick-start liveability projects across Noosa. Through the SEQ City Deal, the Noosa Council will continue to receive funding for projects of social and economic priority based on new project submissions throughout the life of the 10-year deal. The SEQ City Deal is $1.8 billion worth of funding supported by a $667.77 million investment from the Commonwealth, $618.78 million from the state and $501.62 million from the Council of Mayors (SEQ) plus $75 million from industry, to better connect South East Queensland as a region through key transport projects, the creation of more jobs and protecting liveability. What does this mean for the Noosa Shire? It means critical investment toward our community infrastructure, creating new jobs and allowing Council to plan for a more affordable, connected Noosa. It means our local rivers, waterways and bay will receive a much-needed boost through $40 million of regional funding over the next five years to deliver priority, on-ground works to improve overall health and resilience through the Council of Mayors (SEQ) Resilient Rivers Initiative. It means our waste infrastructure will be improved thanks to more than $105 million being invested in furthering the south-east’s

It means $5 million will be invested to jointly identify the infrastructure and land use planning needed to keep pace with SEQ’s growth, enabling better investment by all tiers

of government and industry towards things like transport and services. It means we will also benefit from more than $400 million in funding being aimed at creating new jobs, supporting emerging industries, enhancing the local environment and boosting innovation and connectivity

across the South East. In addition to this, joining the Council of Mayors (SEQ) means we have the ability to work together with larger and smaller councils across the SEQ region to share expertise in areas such as waste, economic development, healthy rivers, animal management, infrastructure, planning and development… the list goes on. Working together also provides an opportunity to raise issues with the group, who can advocate on our behalf and amplify our lobbying voice to the State and Federal governments. As one of the 11 SEQ councils working together, we are now involved in the shared commitment to transform the region. To deliver better outcomes for the business sector and wider community we need to work as one SEQ region. Being part of such an exclusive group benefits our residents, our shire and our region. The question is, why didn’t we join sooner? Noosa’s involvement in the Council of Mayors (SEQ) was long overdue. I thank Council for supporting my call to join. I strongly advocated for Noosa Council to join the organisation and received full support from all councillors. By re-joining the Council of Mayors (SEQ), Noosa Council has stood up for the shire and highlighted the important role Noosa plays in the future prosperity of Queensland but still maintaining our uniqueness and what makes Noosa so special. We are indeed ‘different by nature’.

Wrong season for bridge build Why would Noosa Council authorise a contractor to build a million dollar bridge on Wahpunga Lane in the wet season. Local farmers watch the weather forecasts closely and act accordingly before a weather event, like removing pumps etc . This contractor building the new Wahpunga Lane bridge did nothing, thus we the public are left with higher insurance costs , and further delays for the locals with prolonged detours. Everyone living in Wahpunga Lane and Moran Group Road, Kin Kin, knew commencing construction of this bridge in the wet season was total madness. Trevor Gough, Kin Kin

Councillor needs to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes “It is clearly time to take action” was Councillor Brian Stockwell’s epiphany after conducting a social media straw poll on traffic. This conclusion could have been reached by speaking to almost any Noosa resident over the last decade. It could also have been reached around the time the council’s 10-year transport strategy was launched in 2017 after extensive consultation. The community knows what the problems are. Instead of echoing these complaints, we need elected officials to take forward some real solutions. For a councillor to offer – after more than six years in office – that he’s disappointed people don’t just walk and ride bicycles is not good enough. It ignores the realities most people face. Families, the elderly and working people take multi-destination journeys over long distances. They need to get to school drop-offs, doctors’ appointments, the shops and other activities.

summer’s day or during a torrential autumn downpour. Suggesting people walk or ride a bike is not a solution, it’s gaslighting the community to shift responsibility away from the local government on to individuals.

Policies and people matter I don’t see the justification in who is the best leader to take Australia through the next three years. Having seen the disasters in over countries with reliance on their leader with presidentional elections from Hitler, Putin and how far Donald Trump was and still is prepared to go for power. No thank you. It’s the policies and what’s best for all Australians not just climate change or Royal Commissions. It’s mums and dads and the future for their children that matters most. Leaders can be changed if not performing to expectations and what their promises were and made prior to election. We saw it with Rudd and Gillard and also with Turnbull and Morrison. Who’s the best man debates is showing no more than two cocks in a chook pen and who can hand out the most insults. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

These are uncomfortable words for conservatives, but the change will come in one of two ways. It will either be methodical and reward us for the effort, or it will be laissez-faire and penalise us for procrastination. The action we take, or not, to reduce our carbon dioxide production, will determine a lot about the severity of change we experience in the near and distant future. If we are smart enough to elect a minority Labor government with a balance held by Teal Independents and Greens, we stand some chance of achieving the former change. If it is any other way, a Labor majority or a Coalition government of any kind, we will have no one but ourselves to blame for increasing climate destabilisation, more expensive electricity, unplanned unemployment of coal workers, regular blackouts as AC use surges, missed opportunity to create manufacturing jobs, and continued corruption of politicians by big business. The Pub Test (NT 6/05) offered some interesting comments. It is unclear why getting older would make someone more likely to vote conservative. I am evidence that it isn’t true. My experience reveals that most of the progressive people I know are, indeed, older. I am in qualified agreement with A Voice in Phil Jarratt’s article. The Teal Independents are certainly worth supporting and they are all dedicated to action on climate change. We have no Teal Independents in this electorate. The independents and occasional parties in this electorate are nothing of the sort. None of them mention action on climate disruption and none have the air of knowing how to represent the majority of the population here. One even says she will work toward removing all mandates. That, of course, means no laws. The results of this election could be the deciding factor in whether Australia benefits from the changes needed to reduce carbon emissions, and thus global warming, or whether we suffer from not acting. Steve Hall, Cooroy

On The Soapbox Darlene Gower President, Noosa Parks Association

The Great Walk and NPA There has been a good deal of speculation and some spurious assertions about Noosa Parks Association’s (NPA) approach to the State Government’s proposed commercial venture known as the Cooloola Great Walk. The Cooloola Great Walk running from Noosa to Rainbow Beach was built in 2010 by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service for selfguided walkers. It became clear three years ago that the State Government planned to allow a commercial operator to utilise the trek, including some form of glamping style accommodation as it takes five days to complete the hike. From the outset, NPA expressed its opposition to commercial accommodation along the Cooloola Great Walk. However, on learning that the Queensland Government intended to proceed with this concept, NPA determined it should seek to influence the decision-making process with the primary aim of minimising negative environmental impacts on the National Park. NPA thus determined to continue working for the best possible environmental outcomes. NPA has advised the State Government that, if they proceed with their proposal, we believe the walking trail must not become exclusive to the commercial operators and should remain available to anyone wishing to experience Cooloola. Furthermore, it is essential that any commercial accommodation, whether tents or cabins, should only be for people traversing the walk. Importantly, we believe there should be no accommodation within the catchment of environmentally-sensitive Lake Poona. None of these recommendations should be taken as an overarching endorsement by NPA of the commercialisation of the Cooloola

Great Walk. The final details remain under discussion by the State Government, the Kabi Kabi Traditional Owners and the proponent, CABN. NPA is not part of that decision-making process. Nor does NPA ever suggest that it represents the Noosa community. Rather, NPA represents the environmental values of its membership. It has been suggested that the proposed deal with CABN will establish a problematic precedent for commercial use of the park. In fact, private businesses have been operating inside Coooloola NP for many decades. Under a lease arrangement, commercially operated accommodation began in Cooloola National Park’s Elanda Point in 1985. That development now includes a restaurant and brewery.

Also, under permits, commercial tour operators have long been accessing the park by utilising the Noosa River. That such activities occur is not an endorsement for the Cooloola Great Walk proposal but rather a reflection of commercialism that currently exists. NPA acknowledges that there are a wide range of reasonable views regarding the broad issue of commercial activity in national parks. The NPA played a decisive role in the creation of the Cooloola section of The Great Sandy National Park, whilst also fighting off logging, mining and development interests as far back as the 1960s. Over six decades, NPA has achieved huge conservation gains through constructive engagement with every state government as well

as other relevant stakeholders. As a completely volunteer association we are grateful to our members who continue to work towards better outcomes for the local environment. Importantly, NPA looks forward to increased participation by Kabi Kabi traditional owners in the management and custodianship of Cooloola. We respect their crucial role as original custodians of this land.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton

Walking consultation line The word consultation conjures up different meanings for all of us, however, the Cambridge Dictionary defines it as ‘discussing something with someone to get their advice or opinion on’. Regardless of which definition you use, all require you to be involved. Varieties and expectations around consultations can be wide ranging, as well as extremely complex. One that has caused confusion and social media commentary, surrounds the Cooloola Great Walk (CGW). Amongst the usual processes and considerations, there is Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA’s), a Native Title claim, two levels of government, two state electorates, two local governments, as well as two very different cultural backgrounds. There have been questions to our office surrounding the level and type of consultation between Kabi Kabi themselves, between governments and Kabi Kabi, then finally government, state and federal, to the broader communities. Add in volumes of studies, assessments, drafts, and policies that require further consultation, interdepartmentally and between agencies and stakeholders, you can see why investigations can be frustratingly slow, as well as extremely tangled, reminding me of my Christmas tree lights that never fail to have me at screeching point! If that is not challenging enough, there appears to be a lack of knowledge around the structure of Indigenous representation and the confidential nature of agreements such as ILUA’s and native title, much of which is covered by the federal Native Title Act 1993. Negotiations on these as part of the CGW have led to misunderstandings and misinformation abounding on Facebook, which is not conducive to achieving the best outcome. Especially concerning has been where credible conservation volunteer organisa32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 May, 2022

tions, who have toiled for decades to care for and add to the protected areas we all enjoy, are targeted in a totally inappropriate manner in public domain. Given it is International Volunteers week, I ask that respect be given to all of our volunteer organisations and their incredibly deserving members, and for detractors to step up and join in their efforts, keeping personal vendettas where they belong. As can be seen from the CGW example, consultation or seeking opinions travels across a broad landscape, and there are many types in the consultation journey, including one route called community consultation, defined ‘as a method for gathering community input’. This can be obtained via meetings and events, roundtables and forums, inboxes, calls and written submissions to various inquiries or consultations. Social media (SM) may appear an effective tool for community consultation, however, increasingly pages are switching off this method as well as comments due to the inability to manage volume and content of responders. Multiple posts and conversation threads are difficult to track and retain, hence why it is important to for opinions, concerns and questions on any issue be emailed to our office for investigation and collation! Then we have our annual Noosa Community Survey to find out how Noosans feel on major issues, or that may come before Parliament. Regardless of efforts to get greater involvement, the responses, even though an adequate sampling similar in number to Noosa Council’s annual survey, falls far short of what I would like to see. Delivered to every postal address within our electorate as part of our annual Connect, as well via social media, roughly 32,000 households are not responding. Is it because everyone is happy, or believe

that nobody listens? The difficulty with surveys or polls is how to obtain a qualitative response to serious issues without drowning readers in reams of information that could be leading or even inadvertently misleading? We have all seen questions worded or information provided in such a way that it can elicit a certain type of response, but this defeats the purpose of true consultation. Lastly, we have the consultations to our communities that governments do to tick those boxes whether during inquiries into bills, initiatives they are proposing, or projects. Since being an MP I have seen some good examples, as well not so good. Whether from limited durations, or as we found with the flight paths, inadequate or non-existent notifications to those facing impacts, or confusions with the CGW mentioned previously, ultimately, are all consultations sufficient and meet community expectations? No, and this is something I have spoken about during Parliament, and the ongoing work needed by all involved, which leads me back to where we started. If you are not getting involved, please do! Is that the end of the consultation story? Not at all. When the consultation process is complete and adjustments made in response, there are many more processes. One example is the proposed speed reduction on Noosa River. Whilst MSQ has called for community opinion to the proposal, they consider responses received along with a host of other data, including from partner agencies, before making a determination. Sometimes these determinations may include legislative changes, and as we have previously seen, from the time of initial consultation and subsequent tweaks, governments can change, as well the

order of funding, social or environmental priorities. We have some that believe everything should be consulted on, however, if we did that, would we ever get anything done? And then some believe there is too much consultation, slowing down what needs to get done. Given most of our community (remember that 32,000 households I referred to?) do not respond to requests for their opinion via government surveys, information and alerts sent, nor attend workshops and public meetings invited to, it seems the appetite is low for an increase. It appears that the quality, not quantity, of consultation needs work, as with the CGW. In addition, that the channels already provided for advocacy need to be better utilised as they were intended, which needs your commitment to be involved, which is again, where we started this column. Heading back to the CGW, we continue to investigate and obtain clarity around the tangled Christmas lights I referred to, as well the long overdue review of the Great Sandy National Park Management Plan that I have done a Question on Notice on. As always, all of our findings will be posted to sandybolton.com/ noosa360 Before I go, don’t forget, get involved. Check out current consultations via our Friday End of Week Facebook update, MP monthly newsletter, or government websites, and please respond to surveys. Having your say takes many forms, including writing to me. Time spent on these, versus social media comments is far more effective to see the change you wish to see. Blessings to all from Parliament, and as always, if you have any questions or need assistance just email us noosa@parliament.qld.gov. au or call my office on 5319 3100.

and ultimately most enduring comedy, The Importance Of Being Earnest. While the audience was laughing and applauding uproariously in the auditorium, Oscar, banned from sitting out front, was going through emotional confrontations backstage, and his nemesis, the deranged Marquess of Queensberry, was marauding outside with a prizefighter companion, seeking an opportunity to assault him. The irony of these contrasting circumstances surely did not escape Wilde, whose tragedy ultimately had such an effect on today’s very different moral attitudes.

Rattler features on UK TV The globally popular documentary series, the World’s Most Scenic Railway Journeys, has filmed Gympie’s Mary Valley Rattler for inclusion in its latest series. The fifth series will go to air in July on the UK’s Channel 5 with an audience of over 1.5 million viewers, and will then be released globally over the next year. SBS TV has previously broadcast the series in Australia. Famed actor Bill Nighy narrates each episode as cameras follow trains travelling though some of the most scenic landscapes in the world. The stories of these iconic railways are told by those who travel on, work on and live beside them. The film crew spent over two days filming the historic Rattler and the surrounding Gympie and Mary Valley region, including the village of Amamoor. They also went in pursuit of platypus, which are to be found in the Mary River. The Mary Valley Rattler joins many of the world’s most famous rail journeys and was selected because of its rich history and the spectacular landscape the train traverses. The program synopsis says: “It’s a chance to stop off and travel back in time. It was gold that brought the railways to Gympie, and the Mary Valley Rattler offers a chance to experience Queensland as it was in the pioneering days, as we join a train pulled by a 1920s C17 loco, No 967, one of 182 built in Queensland. It will pull us high into the Amamoor National Park where we’ll spend some time with one of Australia’s strangest beasts. The duck billed platypus - a mammal that lays eggs.” Channel 5’s commissioning editor, Daniel Pearl, has described the series as “a beautiful and indulgent treat, taking our viewers to places of truly outstanding natural beauty.” Volunteers of the Mary Valley Rattler shared their stories of the railway, and the film crew was given access to both the C17 steam train and the RM76 Railmotor which provided passenger services on the line from 1928.

A special guest of honour at the filming was Gympie Regional Council Mayor Glen Hartwig who joined Rattler Railway Company chair, Ian McNicol, and the Rattler’s team and volunteers to show their support for the production. Mr McNicol said that inclusion of the Mary Valley Rattler on such a popular program would provide tremendous promotion for the region. “The UK market is renowned for their love of heritage railways and with international borders now open, and with greater confidence returning to international travel, showcasing the Mary Valley Rattler through this series will provide a great incentive for visitors to include Gympie on their Australian travel itineraries,” he said. “Prior to Covid we had strong support from overseas markets, not just the UK, but also Europe and the Americas, which have deep connections to and affection for heritage train travel. “We were fortunate to have beautiful weather for the filming, with the Mary Valley looking at its greenest and most attractive. It was also very pleasing to have Mayor Hartwig and our volunteers present during the filming.” Full details of Mary Valley Rattler’s history, visit maryvalleyrattler.com.au/ourstory/

Since 1978, Noosa Arts Theatre has run the National One-Act Playwriting Competition. With an $8000 cash prize pool, it attracts entries from playwrights not only from Australia but across the world. Scripts are judged anonymously by a panel of readers who are experienced in directing, acting and producing plays and a shortlist is then judged by a panel of three professional industry experts. The three finalists are selected on the quality of the writing, not on subject matter, and the winning order is decided before the plays are presented in this Festival. Many emerging playwrights have been discovered through this process. During the Festival, the audience is asked at each performance to vote for the Nancy Cato Audience Choice Award. Other awards include Best Director and Best Actor. Presentation of the awards takes place after the final performance. The play’s the thing and without plays there is no theatre. Noosa Arts Theatre is proud to offer this opportunity to aspiring and established playwrights. This year they have a wonderful array of plays to tempt your theatrical pleasure including: A Wilde Night by Robin Hawdon – directed by John McMahon The fate of Oscar Wilde is well known. His trial for indecent acts, his subsequent imprisonment in Reading Gaol – which virtually destroyed his enormous popularity both as a playwright, and as a society celebrity – and his subsequent descent into depression, alcoholism, and illness, leading to his premature death in Paris at 46 – all these have been well documented, and often portrayed on screen and stage. What is not so well known is that the whole tragic saga really came to a head on the occasion of the first night of his most successful,

The journey into the heart of big wave surfing continues with this sequel of acclaim surf documentary, The Big Wave Project. The film will be on show in Noosa at Events Cinema on Monday 23 May at 7pm. This production has taken Tim Bonython around the planet to interview the world’s most renowned big wave surfers and to record the biggest and most death-defying waves. It’s a narrative that will scare viewers as much as it will exhilarate. How can monster waves be surfed both in paddle and tow? Are there any limits? What are the stories behind the biggest waves too big to paddle? The Big Wave Project 2 takes on those questions by traveling to all the big wave spots on the planet with the world’s most respected big wave surfers. Locations include Nazare (Portugal) – the home of the biggest ridable wave, The Right, Shipsterns (Australia), Cloudbreak (Fiji) and Teahupo’o (Tahiti), Mavericks and Jaws ( USA). Featuring legendary Hawaiian surfers Kai Lenny, Ian Walsh, Kohl Christensen and Aussies Jamie Mitchell, Kipp Caddy and Brad Norris, this sequel documentary brings up very special inside stories like how big wave surfing has changed at Mavericks with Jeff Clarke, or covering unique moment of bravery with the story of Ramon Navarro’s greatest moment at Fiji’s Cloudbreak.

A world class tribute to STING is set to entertain a crowd in Noosa for one night only. Since forming in 2019, Blue Turtles, The Music of STING has won critical acclaim and rave reviews from audiences for its outstanding delivery of STING’s vast catalogue of songs. Queensland’s very own Neil Wickham is the show’s musical director and saxophonist, and he is excited to bring the show to The J Theatre at Noosa for the first time. “Our show is very much a celebration of Sting’s unique song writing that features his hit singles and beloved album songs from his time with The Police, but mostly from his award-winning solo albums,“ Wickham said. “As an artist, Sting can move so effortlessly from reggae to jazz, rock to bebop, country to soul, and funk to ballads. This is a unique gig to play as it covers so many musical styles. Additionally, he has recorded and toured with some of the greatest musicians on the planet as members of his bands. “Sting can pen a great love or pop song but doesn’t shy away from topics like separation, divorce, death, prostitution, reconciliation, war and genocide - real world stuff. “For example, if Roxanne were released as a single today as an unheard song, the world would listen in awe, to both the story and his voice, and be talking about it as they did when it was originally released. “I started playing music when his Dream of the Blue Turtles was released, so I spent a fair bit of time learning to play these songs. As a saxophone player, I am a huge fan of the great Branford Marsalis, but all the musicians on this album blew my mind.“ Blue Turtles, The Music of STING pays tribute to an artist of exceptional talent and skill, arguably one of the finest songwriters of our time. “We’ve done our very best to put together an eclectic show where every single song has been arranged carefully so as to pay our respects to his wonderful talents and all of those who’ve worked with him. There’s lots of memories, magic and, especially, ear candy,” Wickham said. “I should add, that the audience will be asked to sing along with us!” Blue Turtles, The Music of STING plays for one show only at The J Noosa on 21 May. Wickham said, “I love playing in Noosa. I performed there for many years at the Jazz Festival. More recently, I performed at The J with the mighty Hindley Street Country Club and have some gigs there with them in early May. It appears Noosa and the Sunshine Coast love great live music, so we are keen to share our hard work with everyone.” DATE: Saturday 21 of May 7:30pm VENUE: The J Noosa, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Junction TICKETS: thej.com.au l Ph: 5329 6560

I admire artists, and their art ... because they make our world a better place!” Major prizes also include the Bendigo Bank Open Award for $1500 and Highly

The exhibition is showing works by four local artists, Erica Evans, Natalie Barlow, Jeff Fraser and Erica Harvey. Natalie Barlow and Erica Evans both have the same love of painting birds and landscapes. “We have come together in this exhibition with our own realistic styles of painting,“ Natalie said. Natalie’s oils and Erica’s acrylics complement each other in their interpretations of the view of the natural world. Jeff Fraser is a woodturner/woodcarver, transforming pieces of wood into bowls and hand carved spoons and hearts. Erica Harvey uses discarded nature elements and integrates them into living botanical artworks. She also carves artistic spoons and hearts. Diversity in Nature’s is set to open on Saturday 7 May at 11am and the exhibition continues until the 1 June.

Rainbows light up Factory

Ginger Factory tourism manager Brenda Bailey, artist Sophy Blake, and Buderim Ginger chief executive officer Andrew Bond.

The team at The Ginger Factory has collaborated with local artist Sophy Blake to create a joyous explosion of colour, aptly named the Rainbrella Project, an installation artwork nestled in the rainforest gardens of The Ginger Factory on the Sunshine Coast. Sophy is an award-winning, multidisciplinary artist specialising in ceramic sculpture, illustration and sustainable sculptural works. The free installation is made up of nearly 1000 rainbow-coloured umbrellas suspended above the rainforest via a network of interconnected steel structures designed to last. The stunning display has had guests craning their heads skywards over the past few weeks as it has been installed. It’s also proved a practical protection from the unusually wet weather experienced across SE Queensland this autumn. “It goes without saying that the last two years have been difficult time for our world,” Ginger Factory tourism manager Brenda Bailey said. “It is our hope that being the first artwork of its kind on the Sunshine Coast, the installation brings joy, happiness and peace to all who journey through its colourful paths.“ This is Sophy’s first collaboration with The Ginger Factory. “The artwork explores the theme of hope

Local artist Sophy Blake created the Rainbrella Project. and new beginnings,“ Sophy said. “Historically, rainbows are known as a symbol of hope, a symbol that, despite the darkness, storms or tribulations of life, can appear, evoking a feeling of peace. “With each colour signifying an expression of hope, rainbows bring the promise that the troubles of today will come to pass.“ The Rainbrella Project is a permanent free display and is open daily to the public at The Ginger Factory, 50 Pioneer Rd, Yandina.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

The calm before the storm Well, here we are again with an impending storm about to hit the coast. This need not be a bad thing so read on so you can make a plan. Mid-week the winds dropped out allowing those not doing the 9-5 daily grind a chance to hit the offshore scene. We also had a great start to Saturday morning and many anglers took full advantage. Sunshine and North Reef are the most popular spots as have been the northern areas toward Double Island Point. For many anglers, the mixed bag that sunshine offers keeps them coming back. For the pelagic anglers there have been some nice Spanish mackerel around. These fish aren’t the huge monsters associated with the end of the month and into June, but 5-10kg range which is the perfect eating size. Spanish can be hard to get, but ensure you are running a gang hooked rig and a small top shot of single strand wire can certainly help you land a few. For those trolling lures then Samaki Redics have been catching a few fish as have smaller Halco lures. Lastly always ensure you have a few TT hardcore slugs rigged up to 20lb combos as long tail tuna are around and likely to show up at any time. Snapper are showing up and there are some solid fish coming in around the 4kg mark. This year could be a bumper season with the heavy rain falls to date. For many anglers these fish are one of the best fighting reef fish around and, fortunately, they are a great lure and bait target. For lure anglers, you have so many options from jigs to plastics and everything in between. For the beginner, come in and let us pick some of the most popular options for you and show you how to rig them for success.

Sam Rush boated this quality bream in Lake Cooroibah while on a Noosa River Fishing Safari. Pictures: NOOSAFISHING.COM.AU Surf fishing sees quality dart, tailor and even snapper coming in for those with longer 12 foot combos. Having a long rod with a softer tip allows you to fish light but make the most of getting more distance. For those on a budget, look at our range of Crucis Tempesta rods which are built on light weight carbon blanks so you can flick lighter baits out and hold the rod all day long without getting tired. Now is the time of year where many anglers

are gearing up for tailor so be sure to get all your sinkers, gang hooks and bait thread before the fish arrive. The river will see a big push in bait fish if the rains come. Fish will sense the pre-storm build up and begin feeding hard. The first few days following a rain event can be excellent. Reports of bigger bream are coming in and as things cool even further you can expect to find bigger high 30cm fish.

When rains hit, lure anglers should break out prawn-style plastics. Many rivers are holding big numbers of prawns and the Atomic prong is a great hybrid plastic with lots of movement sure to gain the attention of flatties too. If you like snag bashing around Woods Bay and the Noosa Sound, try a TT HWS jighead on a 2-inch grub as the internal weight allows the plastic to fall horizontal and slowly. This action on 4-6lb line will see big fish come out from hiding to smash your plastic on the drop. We also have the popular Cranka crabs which are designed for this style of fishing. Those with crab pots should be gearing up as the creeks and feeder drains start to spill and see mud crabs on the move. If you require any pots, floats or tags be sure to pop in. Freshwater dams and lakes are sitting at just over 100 per cent with Borumba now releasing water before the rains come. It is always a good idea to check SEQ water online to see if your chosen dam is open before you leave. As waters cool the bass will start to move down from the upper reaches and start schooling in the main basin. If you find these fish they love a metal vibe, jig or spoon. If you don’t already have an Ecogear ZX blade in your kit make sure you get one as these send out massive vibration that drive bass crazy. 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!

Right now, 24-year-old Melbourne local, Sean Bell, is running 3700km from Cairns to Melbourne to raise awareness and much needed funds for Make-A-Wish Australia. Sean’s goal is to raise $60,000 for MakeA-Wish Australia in 60 days and has so far raised over $20,000 which will go towards granting the wishes of critically ill kids. Sean has already run more than 1000kms, passing through Gympie and Yandina on Wednesday 4 May, where there are 210 seriously ill children waiting for their wish in Queensland. Sean said he was inspired by the lifechanging work that Make-A-Wish Australia does. “In chasing my dream and doing what I love (running and helping others), I can play a small part in helping make the wishes of sick children come true,“ he said. “When Make-A-Wish Australia grant their life-changing wish, they show that child and their family that the impossible is possible. “They help the kids believe that they can do anything they set their minds to. This is what my run is all about.“ With more than 800 seriously ill children waiting for their wish to be granted due to the disruption and ongoing uncertainties of Covid-19, chief executive officer of Make-AWish Australia Sally Bateman, said the need for community support was greater than ever. “We are incredibly grateful to Sean for undertaking this inspiring run in support of Make-A-Wish. His fundraising efforts will go towards making more wishes come true, encouraging sick kids to dream bigger and to believe that anything is possible,“ she said.

Melbourne local, Sean Bell, is running 3700km from Cairns to Melbourne to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Australia. Make-A-Wish Australia has been supporting Australian children in the community for over 36 years.

Shaun owes a lot to Covid Shaun O’Brien is one man who can see the bright side of Covid-19. After all, it’s the reason he’s living in the region, and playing golf at Noosa most Tuesdays and Saturdays. Shaun and his wife were Sydney residents on a fortnight’s holiday to Noosa in mid-2020, when Queensland closed its borders to many of the southern states. They looked around, liked what they saw, and decided to stay put. Shaun contacted the head office of the Sydney-based insurance broking firm he worked for and put it to them that they needed a Queensland representative. They agreed. “They’ve been terrific and very supportive about the whole thing,” Shaun said. “It made sense – they couldn’t reach their Queensland clients because of the borders, and with me here that problem was solved.” Shaun joined Noosa Golf Club straight away and now works four days a week. Tuesday’s out because that’s a golf day. The change helped his game – at least until the border restrictions were eased, and travel was again possible between Queensland and NSW. “I had to fly down to Sydney for meetings and it cost me a lot of golf time,” Shaun said. “My game dropped off and my handicap went out.” Shaun was playing off 24 last Tuesday when he had his best round in months – scoring 19 points on his first nine and 23 on the second to comfortably take the C grade prize. And it could have been the start of an extraordinary golfing week for the former Englishman who now lives at Doonan. He and partner Ted Robinson were finalists in Noosa’s handicap fourball matchplay championship on Saturday, Ted having won the semi-final playing on his own the previous weekend after Shaun had to fly to Melbourne for a family function. Fairytales, however, rarely come true and the duo went down on the 17th hole to their rivals Phil Bowden and Damien Hopkins, who were defending the title. Shaun, however, saw the positives from his improved form and is looking forward to cutting his handicap even further in the coming weeks. Noosa Springs seeks second straight pennant Noosa Springs begins the defence of its zone Junior Pennant title when it takes on crosstown rivals Noosa in the opening match of pennant competition at Mt Coolum on Sunday. The same three girls who won last year’s prize – Jasmine Lena, Sunday Moore and her sister Coco – will again represent Noosa Springs in this year’s Division 1 matches. They will be joined by Alex Bray, who is a member of both Noosa Springs and Royal Queensland golf clubs. Alex, who lives in Brisbane, will travel to the Coast each weekend to compete. Noosa Springs will also field a team in Division 2 of the competition. That team, which tackles a Maroochy River combination on Sunday, includes James McCulloch, Angus Thompson, Josh Bell, Jack Dopper and Cormack Lena. Noosa will also field teams in each division. Junior pennant competition runs until early July. This week’s matches begin at 7am and spectators are welcome. Best score good for only sixth place When two players have the same score in a club competition, it is an accepted practice to use a countback system to decide which player takes the prize. In most cases it is simply a matter of considering the tied golfers’ final nine holes, and declaring the winner to be the one who took the fewest number of strokes on holes 10-18.

Pick the best tee spot to play TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER Avoiding trouble on the golf course goes a long way towards lower scores. That starts straight from the tee where your first decision is about which side of the tee block to hit from. Always try to tee off from the place which will force you to hit away from the trouble adjoining the fairway. Keeping the ball in play is the best way to avoid having unwanted penalty shots which hurts your score. Play smarter, aim straighter and score greater. Good golfing. PETER HEINIGER, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs head PGA teaching professional

Last year’s winning Sunshine Coast zone Junior Pennant team, (from left) Coco Moore, Jasmine Lena and Sunday Moore, will again represent Noosa Springs this year. If that doesn’t separate the players, the final six holes are used and, if that still fails to solve the dilemma, the final three holes. If a tie still persists, the score on the final hole inevitably does the trick. Sometimes, more than two golfers shoot the same score and the countback becomes a little more complicated. But it is rare, indeed, for six golfers to shoot the same winning score in a single competition and be ultimately separated only by a countback – as happened last week in Noosa Springs’ Monday members’ competition. Paul Grant, Kevin Perkins, Michael Mason, Ric Holm, Paul Sprunt and Craig Willian all scored 33 stableford points, with two other players on 32 points. When the dust settled, Paul Grant was declared the winner on countback, with Craig Willian able to tell the sorry tale of the day he shot the equal best score of the day and finished no better than sixth. Missed cut for Martin Noosa professional Ryley Martin, who has been competing on the Australasian Tour in Victoria and Western Australia, failed narrowly to make the 36-hole cut in the Northern Territory PGA Championship in Darwin at the weekend. Martin, who plays and practices at Noosa Springs, shot rounds of 71 and 75 for a fourover total of 146 and a tie for 76th. Sydney’s Austin Bautista shot 20-under-par to win the title by seven strokes. Strong Noosa challenge in state foursomes Players were anxiously watching the Cairns’ skies this week as rain threatened to disrupt the women’s Queensland Country Foursomes Championships, where several Noosa teams were contending for the title. Michelle Linklater and Sharon Vickers were representing Noosa, as were Olivia Dolan and Judy Meager, Allana Moore and Paula Jeffrey and Tracey Whitbread and Judy Patterson.

Noosa Springs’ teams included Kelly Lynch and Tracey Carter, Tereza Holley and Jen Carr, while Noosa Springs’ Silvana Phillips teamed up with Kim Cummins from Mt Coolum. Christine Michael and Wendy O’Hare represented Cooroy. The 18-hole championship was scheduled to be played at two courses – Cairns and Half Moon Bay. Time’s running out for Cooroy Open Nominations close on 12 June for this year’s Cooroy Men’s Open, one of the club’s signature events which will be played the following Sunday 19 July. Nearly 70 players have so far registered to compete in the event and the field will be capped at 116. The cost is $35, which includes lunch and a player pack. It is an 18-hole stroke event with an 8am shotgun start. Nominations can be made online by visiting Cooroy’s website.

Dolphins lock in fourth By Jon Lewis Two wins on the trot for the Ray White Noosa Dolphins A grade sees them secure a top four position after the first round of the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union competition. Travelling to Wynnum on Saturday saw the Dolphins take the points with a 25-7 victory in wet conditions in a match with the return of captain Will Christie and Borore Howton from injury, providing additional experience to the backline. Christie was particularly impressive in his return, taking out the man of the match honours. “Whilst it was the defence in challenging conditions that was a standout, our attack took another step forward in development,” coach Matt Buckland said. “We say it each week, our attacking combinations are a work in progress, but this week, we could really see the benefits of the work the boys are putting in on the training paddock. With our forwards dominating the scrum and ruck, our backline was given great front football.” Centre Tyson Schefe continues to show his skill, both in defence and attack taking on much bigger opposition. Second row Tom Warriner, given his opportunity in the top grade, was another standout. Relentless in defence and with ball in hand and prop Taylor Ryan, new to the Dolphins this year, continues to prove his worth in such a vital position. With round two starting on Saturday, The Ray White Dolphins take on second placed Caloundra at Sunshine Beach in only the second home game of the year. Going down to the Lighthouses 30-13 in the first round, the Dolphins are keen to make amends in a match up against one of the competition favourites. In the first-round clash, the Dolphins were matching the Lighthouses for 60 minutes of the match, however, the defence dropped away allowing Caloundra to add late points.

Tyson Scheffe on the attack. “We are better placed with three games since we last met, so looking forward to the challenge on Saturday. This will really let us show where we are against the top sides,” Buckland said. A grade 3.30pm. Reserve Grade 2pm.

Junior Dolphins show their talents across the ages By Toby Eller U14s Noosa 19 defeated by Uni 35. It was a rerun of the U13s semi final in 2021, but this time Uni came out on top. It was a physical clash with many players going down with injuries. Uni dominated the first half scoring three converted tries but Noosa fought back with two converted tries. There was a lot rucking both in attack and defence which made it a forwards-dominant game. Wishing Gus and Jake C speedy recoveries after sustaining injuries. Domino’s player of the match was Conor (Ted) Thomas. U13s Noosa v USC Barbarians. After a promising start to the season, the Noosa U13s played USC Barbarians in a game that presented an opportunity to try a few different combinations and for players to broaden their skills in different positions. Despite multiple attacking raids from the Barbarians, the Dolphins were able to keep the opposition scoreless with a strong defensive performance across the paddock. The number-one danger man in the backs this week was Jacob, scoring two tries to add to a hat-trick from Noah, a couple to Reiker and one to Jett. The coaches were particularly impressed with Fisher, awarding him the Domino’s Player of the Match. U11s Relieved to see the rain hold off, we knew we could play the more open running rugby style we enjoy. After a top training week the boys were keen to make amends for the last couple of games. This week we met a large, well-drilled Brothers team who wanted to move the ball like ourselves and the two teams went for it from the kick off. Special mention goes to our forwards, especially front rowers Noah, the two Georges, Cormac and Aidan. They consistently drove their bigger opponents backwards in the scrums, rucks and mauls. The backs did equally well defensively to repel the charges from the Brothers’ backs, especially Luke, 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 May, 2022

Lenny and Will. The score was 0-0 at half time, after which Brothers came at us again. The constant pressure led to a couple of Brothers tries. Final score was 10-5 to Brothers. U10s Wow, the U10s Fins’ side showed real team effort, camaraderie and support against Brothers at Maroochydore on Saturday. The game ended in a draw after a tightly contested 40-minute arm wrestle, to the thorough enjoyment of both the boys and spectators. Max Coonan captained the side and led by example with good hit-ups, clean outs and he dominated the line outs. The forwards had some devastating scrums with position won against the feed. The backs found their groove with periods of good structure and formation, which led to points, though we still have work to do in this. Domino’s player of the match was Riley, who didn’t take a backwards step all game with great defence and solid runs forward. Our try scorers included Archie, Alby and Marcus, with Perry converted two from three. The coaching team is very proud of every single player today. U8s Round 3 saw the U8 Reds take the early game at a wet and wild Maroochydore for the second straight week. Mr consistent Zach was leading from the front again. Harry was also running at Will, while the big boys Jack and Jenson are getting more and more confidence with each outing. Some great cover defence saw the boys get up for another win. The team started like a house on fire with some fantastic cleaning out by Teddy and Ari. They created clean ball for Stella to run the show. Fin displayed some ferocious tackling, while Hugo showed some great cover defence and passing, leading to some great tries. Malik made some great runs and Ari scored tries in the corner. Some great running rugby from Mason finished the morning nicely. Keep up the good work Noosa Reds.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Senior women will play at Jindalee from 4.15pm.

More work to go for Tigers.

Fantastic crowds have flocked to watch the new-look Tigers.

Tigers welcome a big rest By Julian Pitts A week off for the Rococo Noosa Tigers with even the Thursday night training session bypassed after a pretty grueling five rounds. The Noosa Boys sit sixth on the QAFL ladder after five rounds with the highlight of the opening few rounds obviously the magnificent win over Aspley in round two. Even the performance against Broadbeach in round one was more than memorable. Fantastic crowds have flocked to watch the newlook Tigers under the tutelage of legendary exAinslie coach Chris Rourke who has brought a new professionalism and positive manner around the football department. The Tigers football director was recruited accordingly after a winless 2021, however, all in the inner sanctum know that there’s heaps more hard work to go yet, starting with 2019 QAFL Premiers Surfers paradise on the Vegas strip this Saturday with the main game starting at 1pm. The Rococo Noosa Tigers should be strengthened by the return of intimidation unit Bussey, local Mav Pettigrove, former club champion Mitch Woods and hard-as-nails defender Charlie Bance. Surfers also had a weekend off after their

Mt Gravatt fixture was called off due to poor ground condition in Brisbane last Saturday. It’s likely the Tigers will be without champion key defender Riley Buntain who split webbing in his hand against Sherwood a fortnight ago. Buntain, up until then, had just been devastating in defence with his take on the game at all cost and timely spoiling technique. Clearly the standout player among the opening five rounds. Josh Wallis and partner in crime Tommy Templeton have been outstanding in the middle with locals Laskey and Fitzpatrick prevalent as usual playing a variety of roles. We’ve been super impressed also by the form of Lachy Flagg in defence and the busy ness of small forward Ethan Johnston. The work rate of ruckman Connor McDonald has also been noted. Reserves 11am. Seniors 1pm. Colts 3.30pm. Senior Women 4.15pm at Jindalee. Good luck to all those wearing the Noosa Tigers jumper this weekend with our youth and junior grades all up and going. Go Tigers

Maroons share their vulnerable backstories in book To sports fans, the Queensland Maroons are the bulletproof gladiators who dominate public attention through the months of May, June and July each year. But as a new book by Noosa Pirates’ clubman Robert Burgin illustrates, it is the oftenuntold stories of hardship and vulnerability that make them relatable to people from all walks of life. The early popularity of Burgin’s book The Maroons is evidenced by it being stocked in Big W, Target and QBD outlets – a major breakthrough for the local author. “On the day it was released, I walked into Noosa Civic and saw it positioned between Shane Warne’s biography and a book about Rafael Nadal. That was a buzz,” Burgin, currently assistant coach of Noosa’s women’s rugby league team, said. “What I’ve endeavoured to do with this book is unveil the experiences and mindset of each of the 221 players to represent Queensland since 1980, detailing how they

were able to overcome different experiences in their childhood. “Some of the Maroons were bullied, some were adopted, some were racially vilified, others experienced the death or disability of someone extremely close to them at a young age. “There’s something equally sad and inspiring when you realise where each of the players came from, and how being a part of State of Origin either resolved or papered over some of their early challenges.” A lifelong rugby league fan, player and coach, Burgin was previously a journalist for Rugby League Week magazine for 20 years and worked for the Queensland Rugby League and Brisbane Broncos, among other roles. “Part of the genesis of this book was being at Broncos training the day that Scott Prince found out his father had been killed in a car accident. I’ll never forget that day,” Burgin said. “I looked around and saw others like Shane Webcke, who lost his father in a work-

place tragedy, and Wendell Sailor, who was always very coy about his upbringing, and I realised these guys may be our heroes, but they are often dealing with very heavy topics at a young age. “There’s a line Wayne Bennett once said – that he is constantly in contact with young men dealing with a sense of abandonment – that also stuck with me and made me want to bring this to life. “I think if you’re a rugby league fan, you’re going to enjoy the memories and untold stories in The Maroons, but more importantly, if you are a young adult or parent of a child going through difficulties, there are chapters that will speak directly to you and hopefully provide light on the horizon.” Burgin is open about his own background. Like Noosa’s own State of Origin star Moses Mbye, Burgin grew up in Housing Commission, his parents separated at a young age, and he was raised by a single mother. After writing his previous book, Poolhall, Jail, Library, about living in a low socio-eco-

nomic household, where violence, substance abuse and suicide were all present, Burgin realised the best way to talk to a bigger audience about the important topic was by using his contacts in the rugby league world. “There were more than 100 interviews and 5000 source materials used in compiling The Maroons,” Burgin said. “Once I explained the intent of the book and how I’d like to see it perform two roles – one as a historical document that captures every single player, not just the stars, and secondly as a handbook for people facing rough times – most players gave their time freely. “The Former Origin Greats (FOGs) organisation were particularly great in connecting me with many of the players, and I was surprised how open most were with the truth. “Not every player had a terrible childhood, but they still identified little tricks and tips that they used for goal setting and keeping on track for the great ambitions they aspired to.”

Noosa Heads speed star races to state championships Noosa Heads racing star Oscar Ray last weekend won the final of the Cadet 9P at Ipswich Kart Club (home of motorsport in Queensland). The track is most known as the hardest and most technical in Queensland and the best competition in race at this track.

At age seven, Oscar is racing the seven-nine year old category. In the first three heats, Oscar achieved two second places and a first place and managed to qualify for the final in pole position. The final was at night (6pm) under lights

where Oscar lead all eight laps to win his first final, hitting 90km/h per hour on the straights. Oscar has been working very hard practicing for the past 12 months. His ability to stay relaxed in such a tense environment is a testament to his character.

His ability to execute a perfect race in the final when it counted was an incredible achievement for his age. Oscar will be heading to the Queensland Karting State Championships in July where the race will be broadcast live online on the my sport live app. Friday, 13 May, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 43

Running all hot and cold By Phil Jarratt When I was a kid at high school in the 1960s, I became friendly with an immigrant Finnish brother and sister whose dad had installed a wooden box sauna out the back of the humble commission house next to the bathroom and laundry. Unable to replicate the snow-covered lawn to roll on or the ice pond to jump in, the dad would fill the bath with cold water then nick down to the ice works and get a block to throw into it. I knew nothing about recovery science or hot and cold exposure but I knew that after a long session in the surf, the aches and pains subsided with every transfer from the steaming box to the icy bath. I was thinking about all of this the other day as Chris Mallac and Freya Simmonds, along with their Brisbane-based associate Nathan Carloss, were walking me around the slick recovery machinery, infra-red saunas and hot and cold water contrast therapy pools at their recently-opened Integrated Rehabilitation Centre at the Noosa Lakes Resort. I was thinking, this is old Heikki’s dream come true. “If you went down to the Broncos high performance centre in Brisbane you’d find what is essentially a much bigger version of what we offer here,” says Chris. “And no one else in Noosa has the same variety of equipment and expertise,” adds Nathan, “but what we’re doing here is actually based on a very old and simple idea. It’s what the Finnish people have been doing for 1000 years – frequent saunas followed by jumping in the frozen lake. “The anecdotal evidence is that for centuries they were a lot healthier than their neighbours and didn’t have the same mental health concerns. Eventually the scientists started looking at it and found the benefits were enormous.” Apparently, heat acclimation and cold exposure create a little bit of stress and you get a massive body response which is protective. Nathan continues: “They did a 20-year study on Finnish people and found that, among many other benefits, if you had a sauna four times a week you were 66 per cent less likely to get Alzheimer’s. “Saunas mimic the effects of exercise, so you can achieve the same benefits through sensible exercise programs. But if you’re injured and can’t exercise, then hop in the sauna.” The trio behind the large and gleaming Integrated Rehab Centre below the Noosa Surf Museum in what used to be the Noosa Convention Centre know their stuff. Chris Mallac has degrees in sports science and physiotherapy and has been a practising physio and educator for 23 years, spending a lot of that time working with elite athletes, including at the highest levels of rugby. While working as a high performance coach with the Queensland Reds, he took on physio Nathan Carloss as his 2IC. When Chris eventually travelled interna-

IRC team at the ice pool. tionally to further his experience with leading teams in Europe, Nathan decided to give the wheels of industry a spin, opening his own physio centre in Brisbane. By the time he and Chris hooked up again, Integrated Physio Centre and associated businesses were a roaring success, so the two men started talking about working together again. Meanwhile Chris had met Freya Simmonds while they were both working on contracts at the same Noosa gym. A physiologist for 14 years, Freya had also worked in rehab and physical therapy for mental health patients. She thought Chris was “super arrogant” at first, but mellowed towards him as he worked on her shoulder injury. She became the third amigo at IRC. According to Nathan, the philosophy of both IRC in Noosa and IPC in Brisbane is that the same processes used to rehabilitate an injury can be used to allow us to live better for longer. He says: “As a physio you’re looking after people’s injuries, but you’re also trying to make them as healthy and strong as they can be so they can live better for longer. That’s not just a slogan, it’s a form of wellness, and it’s where the hot and cold thing comes in. “In my late 40s, I’m halfway through life and I’m wondering what the next 40 years is going to look like. Selfishly, I’m trying to protect myself now for the rest of my life, but in doing that I can use what I know to look after my clients as well.” Chris adds: “You come to see a physio in re-

It’s about wellness, longevity and general health, so you don’t have to be an athlete to get benefits. Nathan: “What we do is to take what we’ve

learned from working with elite athletes and apply the same techniques to everyone. You take the same principles and tone them down as required.” An active septuagenarian whose athleticism is far from elite, I took the plunge (literally) and came away from a recovery session pretty much sold on what it offers. I can’t say it’s all fun, but I want to surf to 100, so I’ll see you in the ice pool or the sauna! For more information call Integrated Rehab Centre on 5324 0080.

Pirates Division 2 went down to Coolum and Caloundra on the weekend.

Lachy, Harry, Patty, Roddy and Kurtis celebrate after the game.

Victory in the last minute Somebody once said, the party isn’t over till the fat lady sings. Well, those of us who were at Noosas Pirate Park watching the dying stage of the A grade game between host club Noosa Pirates and Caloundra, they had the unforgettable experience of watching this old age proverb come to life. At approximately 7.15pm with only two minutes remaining in the game, Caloundra was leading 22-18. And holding Pirates deep in Pirate territory. From the start, both teams had been playing good open attacking football with Pirates scoring first in the 1th1 minute to make it 6-0. Then Caloundra scored out wide to make it six all. Just prior to half time, Caloundra scored again but missed the conversion, making it 10-6 Caloundra. In the second half, Pirates seemed to lack cohesion, discipline and displayed ball control, that left a lot to be desired. Caloundra’s sweeping runs on the left wing also caught Pirates napping, and two big attacking runs resulted in two tries to give them a 22-6 lead. However, good solid work by Pirates’ front row resulted in a try, and, following this, a fastrunning sweep by the backs saw them score another try out wide, thus making it 22-18. With Caloundra having Pirates pinned deep in their half, and with just two minutes to go it seemed that all was lost. Suddenly, the ball went loose. Picked up by Pirates the carrier swung around and headed for what seemed the impossible dream - the Caloundra try line. The Pirates support runners were all around and the ball started moving through several sets of hands towards the centre of the field then back again to right wing. With the Caloundra defence starting to spread, gaps appeared and the Pirates took advantage. Then, with just one minute left on the clock the Pirates scored what moments before seemed impossible - a try next to the post. The score Pirates 22 Caloundra 22, with the kick to come. The crowd erupted. Noosa supporters, along with all others in the grounds had thought that two minutes ago, with the play back deep in Pirate territory, it was all over for their beloved club. But now a successful conversion would give the host club a two-point victory. With the kicker walking the ball back from the try line for the kick, approximately 20m out, he walked that short distance with the crowd, all on their feet, in complete silence. A successful kick would give both the team and their supporters one of the most unforgettable wins in the club’s history, a Pirate victory 24-22. In the commentary box everyone was on their feet - the announcer, timekeeper, game official and the camera man, and no one spoke. The kick was good, the ball flew between the posts and it was then that the fat lady sang. The crowd jumped the boundary fence and coming from all directions of the field grabbed their heroes of the moment amid much back slapping, hugging and kisses on the cheek. It

Pirate U18s played Caloundra who won 32 to Noosa 14. was all over and it was their moment. A very emotional club president Paul Dwyer said: ‘’This has been a big win and to think we did it on the bell. It was a remarkable comeback and I hope it will be the kick off for a good season ahead”. Back in the dressing room head coach Brett Winkler congratulated his team and all concerned. “What you did tonight you did not only for your club and all of us, but most important you did it for yourselves.” Another club official who spoke was very encouraging when he said: “You are the side to do it [take us to the premiership]. We just have to look close at our discipline”. A big factor that made the win so outstanding was the way in which head coach Brett Winkler and his staff handled the major problems that evolved as a result of Covid. With players being quarantined, reserves had to be bought in, (two of who were U18s playing their first A grade games), and the game plan, repeatedly reviewed. Also, a positive attitude, regardless of the situation, had to be maintained throughout the team. Taking all into consideration, this makes the end result one in which the club will forever take pride. That big win on 7 May 2022. Noosa Pirates 24 Caloundra 22.

Already we have athletes competing with the Oceanic Junior team, the Youth Olympic team and attending World Masters Games. The experience and exposure these athletes gain from competing at these events is immensely important to their growth in the sport and also as individuals. This funding has already created a buzz in the club with members seeing their goals becoming a reality because of this outstanding support.’’ For sponsor Nick Radge, his involvement comes as a result of his personal experience since joining the Barbell club. ‘’Since joining the club at 55 I am the strongest and fittest I have ever been and I have expanded my friendship base. “Woogie Marsh is an incredible coach. I won’t get to the Olympics but my hope is that these funds will help our younger members achieve their Olympic dreams.” The Noosa Barbell club trains Tuesday through to Saturday and welcomes new members.

Isabella Nichols charging her way to victory at Margaret River.

Ciao Bella: Coolum queen Somehow I’d missed most of the rise and rise of Coolum dynamo Isabella Nichols these past few years, but all that changed as I watched her charge through the draw to win the Margaret River Pro last week. It wasn’t just the power and graceful style of the 24-year-old – who has been described as a cross between Steph Gilmore and Carissa Moore – but more the whole package. As well as being an extremely talented surfer who has picked up a bag of tactical skills and smarts in just a season and a half on the championship tour, the 2016 world junior champion has developed into a smart, sassy and stylish young woman who seems right at home in the WSL legends factory. But her joyous celebration on the beach at Margaret’s, having beaten the best in the world to secure her first WCT win and her spot on tour into 2023, showed that she is still a stoked grom. I like that in anyone who suddenly gets thrust onto the world stage, so I did a bit of overdue homework on Bella. Born a twin in Denmark in 1997 to Danish mum Lisbeth and Aussie surfer Ron Nichols, Isabella and sister Helena moved to Australia at the age of three after Ron could no longer resist and had to trade the cold climate for some warm water Sunny Coast barrels. The move to Coolum suited the whole family, and Ron was soon pushing Bella into tiny peelers at Double Island Point. But childhood wasn’t all beer and skittles. As Bella told Kate McMahon in an exclusive interview for Australia’s Surfing Life, in grade one she and Helena fell sick on the same day with the same condition. “We ended up in hospital, diagnosed with a hereditary blood disorder called spherocytosis. My spleen completely shut down because it had to work overtime to filter the red blood cells, and my sister’s was badly damaged. “This means, if I get sick I can get a little sicker than a fully healthy person. I have to be super careful with bacterial infections and cuts as those are the ones that can really make me ill.” While the condition made life even more difficult than most during the pandemic, Bella told Kate her challenges continue. “I can get tired a lot quicker so recovery for me is crucial, and looking after the body. I’ve also had my gallbladder removed as a result of the blood disorder. I was in and out of hospital quite regularly as a kid.” None of this stopped her from dreaming of becoming a pro surfer, and at 13 she began her advance through the junior ranks. In 2015 she claimed the Australasia Junior 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 May, 2022

The following year she found tabloid fame as the surfing double for Hollywood star Blake Lively in the hit shark scare movie The Shallows, shot on Lord Howe Island, winning the job when the producers contacted Surfing Queensland’s High Performance Centre on the Sunshine Coast, looking for “anyone who was tall with blonde hair and the same kind of figure as Blake and could surf”, as Bella told the girl magazines, possibly underselling herself. This brush with fame as she finished school didn’t help her much on the rough and tumble qualifying series, and after a string of disappointing results on tour, Bella started to con-

sider an alternative career path. While she stepped up her yoga and gym sessions to improve performances, at the start of 2019, she applied to study for an honours degree in mechanical engineering at Victoria’s Deakin University as a backup if her surfing dreams didn’t pan out. After finishing runner-up in the first two big qualifier events of the year, it looked like she mightn’t need the backup, but throughout the pandemic and the tour cancellations, Bella kept studying remotely and is nearing the end of her studies this year, much to the delight of the faculty at Deakin, who posted: “Congratulations to elite-athlete student Isabella Nichols on winning the Margaret River Pro in Western Australia this week! Perfecting her technique

as a teen, she went on to claim a series of national competitions in recent years to secure her WSL debut in 2020. “Isabella was also named our Rising Star Award recipient in the 2020 Deakin Sport Awards, an annual event which recognises and celebrates the achievements of Deakin’s eliteathlete students.” Although her rookie year on the championship tour was delayed by Covid, she hasn’t looked back since joining it last year, and sitting in fourth place on the rankings going into the back half of this season, Isabella Nichols has a chance to claim a world title at the highest level. And if not, she’s going to use her degree skills to design a better wave pool.

RECORD ACHIEVEMENT FOR NOOSA WATERS PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY UNDERSTANDABLY, the Tom Offermann and Nic Hunter-listed 60 The Peninsula, a private albeit lush oasis on Noosa Waters, attracted national publicity and massive buyer interest in the lead-up to Saturday’s private auction. There were six pre-registered bidders, all super keen to secure the northfacing residence, boasting flourishes of Hamptons’ inspiration, whispers of cool Palm Springs, and a sense of grandeur on the wide waterfront. Bidding commenced strongly, was bolstered with large dollar increments and ultimately two families going head-to-head for the prized keys. After 20-plus bids, the knock of the auctioneer’s gavel sounded. It was a new record price, and although undisclosed, it is well in excess of previous sales for a single allotment in the prestigious Noosa Waters estate.

A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house, pool, on 704sq m at 12 Headland Dve, Noosaville, has sold prior to auction. 278991

The successful buyer is from Melbourne. LIKE LIVING ON AN ISLAND It’s arguably the closest thing to owning your own island in Noosa – without the hefty price-tag. Just a tinnie ride to Noosa Marina and Tewantin Village, the rambling fourbedroom, three-bathroom, three-car riverfront property at 51 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore, is a breath of fresh air. It’s also a journey back to a more relaxed way of life. Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate is bringing Mango Landing to the market for the first time in 31 years. Listed in the mid to high $2m, it includes slipway, workshop and jetty as well as extended decking with views back to Tewantin and Mt Tinbeerwah. “It’s one of the best positions,’’ Warren said, “with long water views and great sunsets. “It was an old shack for many years, then a Brisbane couple saw it as their future retirement, bought the land and built a house in front of the shack. “The property goes back to the timber industry days on the North Shore.

“The mango trees are about 130 years old ... and still fruiting.’’ On 991sq m of riverfront land, the home is all western red cedar with cathedral ceilings, a self-contained one-bedroom flat and a workshop. There is three-bay car-parking, water tanks and solar panels. The property will be open for inspection Saturday 12-1pm. AWASH WITH SUCCESS It was a holiday weekend of bitter-sweet emotions at Tom Offermann Real Estate auctions. The Lauren Chen and Luke Chen-listed 2 The Peninsula, Noosa Waters, attracted four registered bidders on the Saturday for the waterfront residence. It was sold under the hammer for $3.6m with vendors bidding a fond farewell to their much loved holiday home and a big warm welcome to an ecstatic Sydney family who have started packing and will be heading north as soon as possible. Six registered bidders battled it out for the Tracy Russell and Mal Cox-listed duplex two at 22 Avocet Pde, Peregian Beach. It sold for $1.95m and the Brisbane-

based vendor passed the baton to fellow Brisbanites who already own property in Peregian Beach and cannot wait to entertain family and friends on the big deck. ELIZA STRIKES TWICE Hot on the heels of the two-bed apartment 7 Offshore Noosa, 221-227 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, selling prior to auction, Eliza Coppin of Tom Offermann Real Estate has done it again. This time the beautifully refurbed penthouse apartment 21 Noosa Tropicana at 140 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, has sold before auction day on May 7. A Tasmanian couple who missed out on apartment 22 last year, had been waiting for a three-bedroom penthouse with rooftop terrace, hence the early offer, also superseding the record by $225,000. The Offshore apartment was due to go to auction on May 14 but a Brisbane couple snapped it up. SETTING SALE IN BLUEFIN The three-bedroom, two-bathroom villa at 1/61 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, sold at auction with Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville of Noosa Estate Agents.

THE ULTIMATE SUNSHINE BEACH HOUSE THIS Gabriel Poole masterpiece has stood the test of time. Located along a high ridge in Parkedge Road connecting to Enterprise Street in Sunshine Beach, this is a highly sought after address. Built initially as a holiday house, the client’s brief was for a quadropod built as high as possible with large glass walls to maximize the view south and putting the deck northfacing overlooking Noosa National Park However the glass walls above the handrail height and at floor level in the living area were designed to maximize openings with the intention of creating the feeling or character of a verandah on days when they could be opened. A small shelter deck faced north towards the Noosa National Park. As a result of these requests Poole designed a free standing quadropod house where an internal stair was incorporated between the separated towers. A walkway connected to the entrance at street level. A fifth pod on the living room section supported the deck facing north. For the first time Poole designed the stairs with glass risers so that upon entering the house the vista was into green foliage underneath. His intention was for thick foliage to be planted underneath the building so that the house would appear to

float above the shrubbery. The glass riser was a feature learnt from his student days designing hair salons with Robin Gibson. The living area which formed one half of the house was, with the exception of a kitchen wall, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass walls. To achieve these expansive spaces, a complex steel structure had to be designed. The floor girders ran through to form exposed steel posts on the exterior walls which supported the steel beams for the roof. The posts were braced by horizontal bands of steel between the glazing. Thus there was no load bearing on any of the glass or the timber framing. Cool clad Custom Orb lined the ceiling of the living area. Gabriel Poole is known as the godfather of architecture in Noosa and this minimal example of his work, is arguably one of his best. The house has not been offered to the market in 16 years and the current owners have maintained the property in immaculate condition in keeping with the integrity of the design. The house backs onto the Noosa National Park and is also 500m to a Patrolled beach, the Sunshine Beach Surf Club and the Sunshine Beach village with all its great restaurants & cafes. ●

SPECTACULAR WATERFRONT HOME EXOTIC fox tail palms swaying in the breeze make an unforgettable first impression, while a white façade evokes a cool sunny vibe, as well as the idea of seducing escapes to a perfect salty lifestyle on the waterfront. Open the statement timber and glass panelled front door and behold the enticements of a strikingly sophisticated, Bahamas-infused mid-century modern, design-forward marvel, which scales the height of delectability. The serenity is palpable in this expansive residence with endless lavish travertine, a restrained palette, neutral tones, clean lines and easy engagement by creating a connection via banks of glass panes and louvres to the view wherever possible. The play of scale yet intimacy through ceiling heights is evident throughout. Look left of the hallway, admire the stunning courtyard with pearlescent pool surrounded by ‘lawn’, with a bespoke stone water feature and wonder whether you’d choose a lounge in the sun or a comfy chair on the undercover terrace. Look ahead to what is undoubtedly nirvana for chic albeit casual living, relaxing and entertaining in the wide-open space. There’s certainly a feeling someone is about to mix a cocktail and the aromas suggest lunch is on the menu. Indoors coalesces naturally to outdoors thanks to sliders disappearing into oblivion, revealing an ever-so-generous dining terrace where memorable times alfresco are created. Beyond, two levels of manicured lawn occupy an enviable position on the unusually large site with the north-facing waterfrontage is on the idyllic tranquil broad curve of the dazzling waterways. With proximity to the residents-only lock and weir system, which accesses the upper reaches of the Noosa River, also The Woods near Hastings Street, the boat rarely lays idle on the pontoon next to the jetty. Avid cooks will appreciate the galleystyle kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry including island/breakfast bar, an extralong bench with a window as splashback, looking out to the heliconias and crab claws in the side garden. Of course, it has every high-end appliance necessity, as well as a butler’s pantry with floor-to-ceiling storage. The master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite has north-facing views of the garden and waterways, and in the south wing are three queen size bedrooms. One has a courtyard and is currently used as a study. The other two have front garden views and all share a family-size bathroom with a walk-in shower and deep oval bathtub. “There’s so much to love about this utterly ravishing absolute waterfront 12 NOOSA TODAY

residence,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Michael McComas. “Living in such a desirable culde-sac, just a few minutes to everything wonderful about Noosaville including the Noosa River foreshore and cosmopolitan Gympie Terrace really does capture the imagination and is evocative of when the hustle stops, summer begins... every day. “The Noosa Waters Estate has become well recognised as one of Australia’s premier housing precincts for its high calibre of housing design, also for great community spirit.

QUEENSLANDER STYLE HOME THIS lovely Queenslander style home offers character and comfort. Wide, full wrap around verandahs ensure you can find a sunny spot or shade all-day. The covered entertainment area overlooks the inground pool and through the fence beyond, into the fenced paddock with small dam. If you have dogs, or want to keep your kids secure inside the boundaries, this property is fenced. On a slight slope, but with enough flat land for the kids to play, a small creek traverses the property and the birdlife is amazing. It’s just a quick few minutes drive to the bustling township of Pomona, in Noosashire. The living kitchen and dining are open plan, the bedrooms all a decent size and all rooms open to the verandahs. Reclaimed timber floorboards are throughout, the ceilings are high and it’s

ready to move straight into. The cladding is cedar so you can leave for minimal maintenance or brighten with a coat of paint. Parking is in the three bay shed ( two doors, the third bay is being used as a workshop) and under the verandah of the home is space for another two cars, trailers etc ●

HOME FOCUS

PROPERTY WITH PEACE AND TRANQUILITY THIS still new, one year old home positioned on a 4.8 acre allotment in the heart of nature’s stillness is just one dimension of an exciting opportunity to accommodate a multi-generational family. The four bedroom, two bathroom main residence is light, bright and open plan with high ceilings to encourage air flow. The spacious kitchen overlooks the family area and through to the calming bush backdrop. Boasting a 900mm freestanding oven, stylish stone bench tops, dishwasher, a new LG plumbed fridge/freezer and a butler’s pantry, everyday cooking and entertaining will be a pleasure. A thoughtful floor plan places the master bedroom with walk-through robe and ensuite at the opposite end of the house from the other bedrooms, a private retreat from the family or guests. Sliding doors open to the covered outdoor patio where you can talk to the birds, sip your morning cuppa and relax with the paper before the day starts. You might even spot a shy kangaroo! Windows and doors are fully screened and ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning ensures all year-round comfort. High quality flooring creates a welcoming, country feel, while the double garage provides
