Ukrainians welcomed By Margie Maccoll Just over a week ago mother and daughter Lillia and Lisa left their home in Kyiv, Ukraine, to escape war, and are now living in Noosa, with their future uncertain and their thoughts with their family and friends left behind. Their journey here began about four months ago when Noosaville residents Adela and her mother Glennice were watching images of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on their home television and discussing what a terrible thing it must be for the innocent victims. “Mum said, well we have room here we could offer,” Adela said. The next day Adela phoned the Ukraine Embassy and the Australian Ukraine Society and posted a message on the Ukraine Society Facebook page. A couple of days later a Ukrainian doctor living in Brisbane, a friend of Lillia, contacted her to say there was a family that would contact them. “Lillia contacted me through Facebook,” Adela said. “She said the family would like to take up our offer.” Ukrainian refugees Lisa and Lillia.

Yurol celebration By Phil Jarratt The ground-breaking and historic Yurol Ringtail Conservation Project was formally claimed by the Palaszczuk Government at Noosa Council chambers this week, in front of most of the conservationists and true believers who had worked since 2018 to make it happen. But if there had ever been any friction over who did what in the process, it had long been forgotten as the key players joined in celebration of a project which effectively doubles the

size of Noosa’s National Park estate, and nearly completes the crescent of perpetually protected national parks and wildlife corridors around our coastal built environment. “This has been the happiest collaboration of governments, industry, conservationists and First Nations people that I’ve ever been involved with,” said Dr Michael Gloster, vicepresident of Noosa Parks Association and acknowledged as the true architect of the acquisition plan. Announcing that the project was now en-

tering its final phase, Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the Palaszczuk Government would now turn the 2400 hectares of the old Yurol Ringtail State Forest into national park, with major revegetation works to be carried out by the Kabi Kabi People Aboriginal Corporation, Greenfleet Australia and Noosa Landcare. Ms Scanlon said it was a great example of collaboration between the state government, councils, First Nations’ communities, industry and environment groups like the Noosa Parks

Association to rehabilitate the environment and sprout new employment and training opportunities as part of the state’s Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan. “Tewantin and Noosa national parks play an incredibly important role in the local environment and also bring in thousands of tourists every year to this area – so any chance to expand it will reap huge benefits for the community,” Ms Scanlon said.

Tourism Noosa’s Visitor Information Centre Volunteers are being celebrated as part of National Volunteers Week. To celebrate the important contribution they make to the Noosa community and our tourism industry each and every day, volunteers will be treated to delicious daily treats for morning and afternoon tea (different shifts of volunteers), receive a complimentary coffee voucher from Cafe Le Mond and a heat band for their Pottery for the Planet recyclable coffee cups which they received last year as part of Volunteers Week. Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said volunteers played an all important role in welcoming visitors to Noosa. “With close to 200,000 visitors each year visiting the Visitor Information Centre on Hastings Street, our volunteers are there to

welcome, inform and assist visitors on things to do in the region 364 days a year,” she said. “Volunteers are part of our local community and they truly are a wealth of knowledge, providing visitors with information on where to stay, what experiences and tours to do, what restaurants, breweries and distilleries are in the region and, importantly, providing that local knowledge and those insider tips that visitors love to know about. “This week marks the all-important National Volunteers Week, and we are pleased to be able to acknowledge our 70 volunteers for their contribution. “I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank them all for the amazing contribution they make to Tourism Noosa and the visitors that we welcome to our region.

Noosa thanks volunteers Volunteers across Noosa enjoyed a thank you breakfast at Tewantin Noosa RSL on Tuesday courtesy of Noosa Council during National Volunteer Week and listened to a Volunteering Queensland representative talk on ways to recruit and retain volunteers and network with other community organisations. Council’s Monique Johnson, who organised the event, said attendees were pleased to have their questions answered and learn more about drawing on the diverse skills of their volunteers and other organisations. Andrew Aves from Rotary Club of Co-

oroy said it was a well established practise for them. Mr Aves said while not an emergency organisation, Rotary had the resources to provide food in disaster and emergency situations and regularly worked with the SES. He said with funds in the bank from fundraising, they were also able to tap into them to assist people in need as had happened recently to helping people who had lost everything in the floods. Council had also planned a volunteer afternoon tea at Pomona but the event was cancelled due to recent flooding and is to be rescheduled at a date still to be confirmed.

The federal election will be held this Saturday to decide our next Prime Minister as well as our local Member for Wide Bay. How will you vote? The Australian National University’s latest Australian Election Study showed that trust in government had reached its lowest level on record, with just one in four Australians saying they had confidence in their political leaders and institutions, according to a major study on the last federal election. The study, conducted on the previous federal election in 2019, also found Australians’ satisfaction with democracy was at its lowest since the constitutional crisis of the 1970s with just 59 per cent of Australians satisfied with how democracy was working. Professor Ian McAllister, who led the research and has been studying elections for more than 40 years, revealed he had never seen such poor return for public trust in and satisfaction with democratic institutions.. He said trust in our politicians had been on a steady downward trend since 2007, when it sat at 43 per cent.. About one in 10 Australians believed the government was run for ’all the people’ with more than half believing it was run for “a few big interests”, he said. Last election, most voters cast their ballots on issues, with economy the most important followed by health, then the environment. We’ll see on Saturday how the votes are cast.

Flooded areas require costly repairs.

February floods inundated areas of Noosa Shire.

State helps with repair bill By Margie Maccoll The February floods have left Noosa Council with a repair bill of essential assets estimated at $20-30 million with more than 500 projects already posted including the Black Mountain Road landslip. Fortunately for ratepayers, Council has been able to access disaster grants from State Government’s Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements that are administered by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) and aim to contract Erscon Engineering Consultants to manage the repairs. In addition, advice to Council indicated they would also have a number of other essen-

tial assets that have been identified as suitable for reconstruction to ensure greater resilience during future events. At its general meeting on Monday, councillors were told by staff that Erscon had been engaged initially during the flood event to gain an understanding of the works needing immediate repair and staff have now recommenced continuing on the much larger repair project. Erscon was a local company, highly recognised, highly regarded by QRA and considered by them to be a preferred supplier, they were told. The contract to Erscon is expected to be for a 27-month period to 30 September 2024 for

an amount of $2.1 million of which $2m will be recovered from QRA with Council to provide payment of $100,000. “We think this is a reasonable amount to deliver this work and maximise the funding available. If we don’t do it this way it would delay the process and we would have to find someone else,“ councillors were told. Cr Brian Stockwell described the works to be done as similar to a Council’s annual capital works program. By getting specialists in, we will be in a position to get it done as fast as possible and have the capacity to deliver our capital works program, he said.

“We don’t have the resources or staff to do this and it’s difficult to get it done in this market. This is the best way to maximise a return in the best time,“ staff told councillors. “This is clearly the way forward ... to ensure these assets are returned to the level they were before if not better,“ Councillor Joe Jurisevic said. The works will be done on a priority rating with the most urgent works conducted first and to a standard required by QRA, council heard. Councillors voted unanimously to proceed with the contract with a final decision on it to be decided at Council’s Ordinary meeting on Thursday.

Project reference group formed for Noosa Drive works By Margie Maccoll Noosa Drive is destined to become the next Noosa signature boardwalk after Noosa councillors Frank Wilkie, as chair, and Amelia Lorentson were this week appointed to represent Council on the Noosa Drive Pathway project reference group. The major entry point to the Hastings Street tourist strip, Noosa Drive links Noosa Junction to Noosa Heads with the Noosa Drive Pathway project to plan and design a pedestrian and cycle link between Noosa Lions Park and Sunshine Beach Road, to be

included in the current capital works budget. The draft vision statement for the project has as its aims to create a design that incorporates natural materials where possible and to enhance the natural environment through the use of streetscapes, capturing of local views, use of trees for shade and natural curves inspired by nature. This will be a legacy project built for the whole community, Cr Lorentson said. The project has so far sought input from only a small section of the community, including the Hastings Street and Noosa Junction associations, but Council staff said a

community consultation plan aimed to identify and engage stakeholders for input into the project. Cr Wilkie said it was timely to start the project now when electric scooters and bikes were at an all time high, meaning the challenge of scaling the hill between the two points had never been less, and the current free bus trial made it easier for all. At Council’s general committee meeting on Monday, councillors compared the project to the Park Road boardwalk. “The boardwalk is a beautiful structure. If it’s represented in this design, it’s going to

be another project the community love,“ Cr Wilkie said. Cr Brian Stockwell said when Council built the boardwalk, it took the path from a place for people to walk to become an experience in nature. In ticking the boxes of improving cycle and pedestrian connectivity, reducing traffic congestion, improving safety and creating an experience, Cr Stockwell said it was important to understand the significance of the Noosa Drive Pathway project. If done well, it will be highly practical and make the experience of riding and walking so much fun, why would you take a car, he said.

Signing off for Yurol park From page 1 “The final harvest of pine and hardwood plantation timber in the state forest is expected to be completed soon, and following that the plantation areas will be revegetated with native species and the restored habitat progressively added to Tewantin National Park.” The transformation of ex-plantation state forests into national park through the Yurol Ringtail Conservation Project began in 2018 as a partnership between the Department of Environment and Science (DES), the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF), HQPlantations, Noosa Shire Council and Noosa Parks Association, with Council, State Government and the Parks Association equally funding the $3.5 million investment needed to secure the land. Despite setbacks along the way, goodwill between the stakeholders ensured the project would not be derailed, particularly after they were joined by the Kabi Kabu First Nations and not-for-profit corporation, Greenfleet Australia. Norman Bond, chair of the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation, said the project was important for the environment and the Traditional Owners. “Kabi Kabi People look forward to working with Greenfleet and Noosa Landcare in providing training and future employment opportunities for our people and long-term protection of our country. “Our goal now is to progressively increase the management role of Kabi Kabi people in working with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service over our National Park country.” Greenfleet Australia, who will invest up to $4.5 million in the project and will secure the exclusive right to benefit from associated carbon offsets for 30 years, have engaged Noosa and District Landcare to assist with tree propagation and planting when conditions on the ground are suitable. Greenfleet chief executive officer Wayne Wescott said the corporation’s work combined

Mayor Clare, Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon and Dr Michael Gloster at the MOU signing with stakeholders in rear. climate action via ecosystem restoration with reconciliation which included financial, training and employment opportunities for the Kabi Kabi People. “This project will reduce the impacts of climate change at an incredible scale- sequestering hundreds of thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions,” Mr Wescott said. “Greenfleet is combining that with a direct revenue stream for Traditional Owners and jobs on Country for Kabi Kabi people in a rich and sustaining partnership of which Greenfleet is very proud.” Mayor Clare Stewart said Noosa Council welcomed the support of Greenfleet, the Kabi Kabi people and Noosa District Landcare for the next phase of the Yurol Ringtail Conservation Project. “Revegetating the former timber plantation with native trees is a critical part of the project to help generate habitat for koalas

and threatened species such as the Richmond birdwing butterfly and giant barred frogs,” she said. “Transfer of rehabilitated forestry to Tewantin National Park will ultimately double the Park’s size and create a protected corridor to the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park. “Today, buoyed by the support of our new project partners, I can say that this is one of the most significant land conservation projects Noosa Shire has ever seen.” Significant it surely is, but outside the stakeholders, few people in the community understand that significance, nor the complex plan that enabled Noosa’s crescent of green to happen. In a special feature article next week, Noosa Today will look behind the scenes of the Yurol Ringtail Conservation Project.

Hinterland cut off By Abbey Cannan Black Mountain residents have spent another five days stranded from essential services with their only access point flooded, while a landslide on the main road continues to shift. Geotechnical engineers are continually finding surprises related to the landslide that occurred in late February, and the recent wet weather has exacerbated the situation. In a recent update Noosa Council said they remained confident of finding a suitable solution but required more time on the site. Black Mountain resident and Noosa Country Cat Hotel owner Amy Langley said their main concern was access to emergency services, including Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) in the case of a structural fire or a car accident. “If a QFES truck needed to get to a property up here or to retrieve someone from a car that’s gone off an embankment; there’s just no chance for them to access us,“ she said. “There was a little boy who was badly burnt and his mother actually had to walk over the landslide to get him to a Queensland Ambulance vehicle.“ Resident Tabatha Harvey told ABC she carried Blake across the destroyed road to an ambulance to save paramedics a 30-minute detour after he sustained significant burns to 19 per cent of his body. She also had to carry her young son back across the landslide to get home from hospital in Brisbane on Tuesday night. “For residents to have to walk across a landslide that the council says is deeply unsafe, to get access to emergency services - it’s just awful,“ Sundara Ayurveda Retreat Centre owner Heidi Veraa said. “There is a man who has quadriplegia who relies on his carers and his carers can’t get through,“ Heidi said. “There’s over 250 people affected by this. If people can’t get into our business, we can’t get paid.“ As the owner of Noosa Country Cat Hotel, Amy agreed it was affecting her livelihood. “I am losing business as a lot of people are choosing to steer clear because of the dirt road access,“ she said.

We didn’t. We purchased on a sealed tar road with no creek crossings after years of living remotely on cattle stations in the Northern Territory and western QLD.“ In an update on 13 May, Council confirmed they had secured support from the Queensland Reconstruction Authority to start

work on building a temporary, elevated crossing over Slate Creek on Anderson Road. “It will be much higher than the current crossing and should provide a more resilient community access point. We expect to have machinery and materials on site shortly subject to weather. Work will start as soon as possible,“ Council said. “We have held further talks with emergency services officials and they remain aware of the current situation at Black Mountain. They have reiterated the importance of contacting Triple zero for any emergency.“

East Brisbane man dies in tragic accident A 59-year-old man has died following a crash at Tanawha on 14 May. Initial investigations suggest the man was changing a tyre on the side of the Sunshine Motorway, underneath the Bruce Highway, when he was struck by a car just after 4.30pm. The East Brisbane man was transported to hospital in a critical condition where he later died. An 18-year-old woman driving the car was not physically injured. Crash investigators are appealing to anyone who witnessed, or has footage of the incident, or of a red utility parked on the side of the Sunshine Motorway, to come forward.

Tom saves wedding day By Abbey Cannan A couple’s wedding disaster was saved at the last minute by a local hero after wet weather flooded their original venue and their backup plan. Newlyweds Rebecca and James Felsch, along with their guests, travelled from Avoca Beach in NSW for their dream Noosa wedding at Maison La Plage. Mother Nature had other plans on Friday 13 May, as flash flooding hit the region after a significant downpour. “With flash flooding warnings coming through via text message from the council, our stomachs began to turn and panic started to set in,” maid of honour Chloe Matthews said. “We contacted our backup ceremony location (covered location of course) only to find out they started to experience some flooding and informed us they could not cater to us anymore. “We couldn’t believe it, at 9am in the morning on the day of the wedding, we were all in panic mode trying to find a location for the ceremony. “Without worrying the bride or groom (who mind you was out surfing with his groomsman the morning of), the bridesmaids and myself continued to work on this assignment in the background while she continued getting her hair and makeup done.” Keeping the bride’s champagne glass full and her belly well fed, the bridesmaids maintained a positive and happy environment, all while panicking in the background. “While we were ticking off the list of potential locations, our amazing hair stylist yelled out, suggesting to try contacting Thomas Bexon Surfboards,” Chloe said. “It was quite ironic that the groom and his groomsmen were out surfing without a worry in the world and we are calling Noosa’s most iconic surfboard shaper to help us out.”

Disaster mapping goes 3D By Margie Maccoll A 3D model system able to show how fires and floods will move through an environment is set to be adopted by Noosa Council for a twoyear trial under a contract with the developer of the simulation tool, Simtable. Estimated to cost $106,000, the trial is expected to be funded jointly via the Cat D bushfire recovery grant and Cat C Community Bushfire grant, then its continued use reassessed at the end of the two-year trial with future funding to be considered through the budget process. Following the bushfires of 2019, Noosa Council established the Firetech Connect program via the Peregian Digital Hub with an objective to help Noosa Shire Council, other LGAs and emergency services agencies adopt technologies that build bushfire resilience in regional communities. A key element of resilience building is preparing regional communities for potential future bushfire events and involves educating people about the behaviour of fires and the importance of evacuation. The Firetech Connect program researched and identified a number of technology companies around the world that were developing solutions in the community education space, including Simtable. Council invited Ku-Ring-Gai Council sustainability program leader Dr Jenny Scott to present at its 2020 Firetech Conference where she demonstrated how Ku-Ring-Gai Council was using the Simtable technology to engage and educate their community about fire behaviour. The hands- on nature of the Simtable had proved to be a highly effective tool for presenting scenarios and building awareness amongst community members. Simtable’s solution includes predictive modelling software for how fire, flood and other hazards evolve within a given environ-

Council will trial technology to help it forecast fire behaviour. mental context, as well as a novel presentation approach using augmented reality to display those predictive disaster simulations on an interactive surface. Using a three-metre table filled with walnut husk and video projection, the tool can provide a visual picture of the local environment and the progress of a natural hazard such as fire or flood. Cr Amelia Lorentson described Simtable

as exciting technology. “The only way to prepare for risk is to understand the risk,“ she said. “This is one of the tools which will help us survive the elements much better and be able to advise the community,“ Cr Joe Jurisevic said of the Simtable at Council’s general meeting on Monday. In addition to its community engagement benefits, by simulating how hazards behave in

a particular set of circumstances, the Simtable can be used to inform disaster management actions such as evacuation orders as well as display other Council data sources from the Living Lab, including realtime weather information, drone footage and user generated photography. Councillors voted unanimously on Monday to adopt Simtable with a final decision to be made at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday.

Buskers bank on Noosa The Noosa Busking Championships are back in 2022 for their fifth year at the Sounds of Noosa Foreshore event. On Saturday 21 May the Noosa Foreshore will come alive for a fantastic free live music event, where talented and aspiring performers take to the Noosa River banks for a variety of street performances keeping audiences entertained for hours. From 9am – 3pm, the Noosa Foreshore along Gympie Terrace doubles as a stage for a wonderful array of artists who will rotate at hotspots dotted along the River performing for passers by. While the genres, talent and music will differ, the performers have a common goal - to get your foot tapping and your smile happening. There is an opportunity for spectators to

vote in the People’s Choice Award by buying busking dollars from the token stands. All money from token sales goes towards the Rotary Noosa & Hinterland Flood Relief Charity to support those in the Gympie region affected by the recent floods. The finals begin at 4pm on the Main Stage at Lions Park (Pirate Park). So grab a sausage from the Lions food van and settle in to witness finalists perform. Top prizes are on offer for such categories as Open, Primary and Secondary Students, Bands, Special Judges Awards and People’s Choice Award to name a few. Tim Rook from Noosaville Business Association said: “We are excited to be involved with this event again in conjunction with Ro-

tary Noosa after last year was such a success.

Noosa shines for international travel trade buyers Over 520 of the world’s leading travel trade buyers are getting a taste of Noosa and are being inspired to promote the region this week at the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE 2022), the largest trade show in the Southern Hemisphere. Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said, “This is the first time in two years that our team will meet face-toface with tourism buyers from key international markets, representing our trade-ready members to increase the number of accommodation and experiences that are sold to overseas visitors.“ With 72 appointments across two-and-ahalf days, Tourism Noosa’s head of marketing Adam Townson and trade and business events manager Vynka Hutton, will be sharing the Noosa Trade Travel Planner 2022-2023.

The destination guide, now in its seventh year is a comprehensive guide of over 40 trade and international ready products including accommodation, tours, activities, attractions and experiences, all perfect for the inbound market. The guide is also filled with useful travel information, suggested itineraries, events and destination information. Distributed nationally and internationally, the Noosa Trade Planner assists and educates wholesalers, inbound tour operators and retail agents on what internationalready product and experiences Noosa has to offer. Josh Donohoe from Creative Tours and Events advertises in the planner and said, “The planner gives us reach into the international market space that would otherwise be

impossible for a small business like ours. It provides opportunities to secure new business and partnerships with international trade partners which is so important to our business.“ Ms Anderson said that these activities are a great way for Noosa to connect with key international influencers and update them on product news for the destination. Trade buyers are always looking for information on what is new, tips on what to do, suggested itineraries and in essence, to discover different ways to promote and position a destination. “Before Covid-19 forced the closure of global borders, international visitors contributed significant spend in the Noosa region and provided essential workers for the tourism industry,“ Ms Anderson said.

“They spent more than $100m each year in the Noosa region, and made up about 14 per cent of our overnight visitors. “They typically stay longer and have a higher spend per person than most domestic visitors and they experience tours and activities while they’re here. “International backpackers also provided a core service by filling essential jobs in our hospitality industry.“ The contingent from the Sunshine Coast includes The Ginger Factory, 4U Transfers and Tours/Croc Tours, Tasty Tours, Australia Zoo, Mary Valley Rattler, Visit Oz, Amaze World, Creative Tours, Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat, Oceanview Helicopters, Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World, Misty View Cottages.

Domestic violence target By Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart Supporting Noosa’s domestic and family violence response is a Noosa Council priority. Domestic and family violence is a disease destroying so many lives in our community and it will not be tolerated. May marks Queensland’s Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month (DFVP Month), to raise community awareness for domestic and family violence, and Noosa Council is working tirelessly in this space to support our local domestic and family violence response. For more than a decade, Shine Houses have been providing those who are fleeing violent family and domestic situations with transitional accommodation and access to support services to help them establish their independence, deal with trauma and get back on their feet. This is one of Noosa’s longest-running and most successful domestic violence support initiatives and Council has been providing land for the construction of the houses, including a land parcel just last year, for which we secured funding from the State to assist with the construction of another house that is now up and running. Similarly, Noosa Council approved charity, Youturn Youth Support’s use of Council land at Tewantin for two tiny homes to provide shortterm, transitional housing to young people in need, before taking the next step to independent living. This is a great collaboration between Council and Youturn in coming together to deliver meaningful and necessary outcomes for our community. We are so proud of this joint initiative and I am very proud of the council staff who worked tirelessly to make this project happen and grateful to Youturn for their work in this space. For Council, partnering with local support organisations and ensuring our non-for-prof-

its specialising in domestic and family violence support have all the help they need is the best way Council can help respond to domestic and family violence issues locally. Noosa Council’s Community Development team facilitates the Northern Sunshine Coast Social Services Network, which brings together around 25 agencies that work with vulnerable people. The agencies take part in bi-monthly meetings to coordinate partnerships and share information, which all help improve domestic and family violence service delivery. Community Alliance Grants are another way Council supports local charities, many of which are working hard to help those impacted by domestic violence, including The Salvation Army, Sunny Kids, St Vincent de Paul and Youturn. Community, too, has a part to play in our domestic and family violence response. The Mingle with the Mayor charity ball is on again this year after last year’s event saw over $250,000 raised to dramatically increase access to specialist DFV counselling services in Cooroy and Noosa. Hosted by Womenkind Australia Inc. it is hoped this year’s gala evening will raise more funds for transitional housing solutions for locals who are experiencing domestic family violence. Some of Council’s other key achievements in the DFV space include providing domestic and family violence leave provisions for all staff, a walk to eliminate gender violence DFVP month advocacy, significant investment in direct service delivery and being the first Council in Queensland to sign the Social Justice Charter, Not in our Backyard pledge.

The Captain signs off By Abbey Cannan A long-time Noosa FM radio presenter who rocked the airwaves has left a hole in the heart of the community station’s listeners and members. Greg Dodds, well known as The Captain, passed away on Thursday 5 May after discovering he was seriously ill earlier in the year. The loyal and dedicated member relocated to Noosa from Melbourne, joining the Noosa FM team in 2017, where he lived on his boat on the Noosa River until it sank and he had to find a new home. Noosa FM president Sibylle Reisch said Greg stayed The Captain and made Noosa FM his new boat. “Not only did he rock the airwaves with his controversial and provocative music program on late Friday nights, he quickly had lots of followers and the station lots of complaints about his music and lyric choice, shaking up the community of community radio listenership,“ she said. Greg had been looking after the outside broadcast audio set up and the station’s event broadcasting since 2018. He served Noosa FM on management for many years in different roles including vice president, youth representative, was an integral member of the training team and programming committee, and since September 2021, was also coordinating production. He presented his controversial music program stirring many people up since he joined the station. “Many people of our community would have met The Captain managing the audio set up during our outside broadcast events,“ Sibylle said. The Captain presented at a number of events such as Australia Day along river, in front of the station outside The J, at the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club (NBCCC) famous Noo-

Noosa FM presenters Mark Panitz, The Captain, and Alfalfa on Australia Day 2022. sa Hill Climb Races, Noosa Chorale concerts, or at the Reed & Co’s Christmas Carol on the ferry. Greg had only known for a few months how seriously ill he had fallen and had been in and out of hospital since that time.

His son, Billy, daughter, Alex and their mother, Anna, visited from Melbourne and were able to be with him during his last hours. “In March he came to visit us at the station and called me after to say that this had been the nicest day he had for a long time,“ Sibylle said.

“He loved Noosa FM’s radio station and helping the youth develop their confidence and talents. “The Captain and his friendship, his incredible knowledge of music, his love for community radio and developing our youth will be missed greatly.“

Fees up, staff down: MP A proposed new National Skills Agreement put forward by the Federal Government involved massive increases in student fees for training and skills courses, Employment and Small Business Minister Di Farmer told State Parliament. Ms Farmer, who is also Training and Skills Development Minister, said the fee increases, if introduced, would result in existing acute staff shortages in health care, child care, aged care and disability care becoming even worse. “With the Federal election imminent, a very serious issue looming for Queenslanders, and indeed Australians, is the Morrison Government’s proposals for skills funding. “The funding model for training courses and student fees under the proposed new National Skills Agreement would have very serious consequences for attracting the urgently needed and appropriately skilled staff in the various sectors providing care services. “The states and territories are united in their condemnation of the draft agreement.

“For more than 18 months the Federal Skills Minister Stuart Robert has failed to enter into constructive negotiations with states and territories, and has persisted with draft agreements that ignore the major concerns States and territories have raised. “Not least of these is the enormous fee increases that would flow under the proposals the Federal Government has put forward. “Australian business, and governments providing public services, are struggling to find the skilled workers they need. “It is essential that states and territories are able to keep training courses affordable and accessible, thus enabling people, and especially young people, to get the skills they need. “It has been shown, and it is a simple truth, higher fees lead to a drop in training enrolments. “So I find it astounding that the Federal Government has rolled up a new National Skills Agreement that would not just see fees

increase, but skyrocket.” Minister Farmer said analysis by the Queensland Government indicated that fees for a student seeking to gain a Certificate 3 in Early Childhood would jump from $316 to between $1000 and $3000 under the proposed funding model, meaning an increase of up to 950 per cent. A Certificate 3 in Individual Support, for students looking to work in aged care and disability care, would leap from $172 to between $500 and $1500. “These projections are supported by modelling by the ACT Government that found the student fee for a diploma of early childhood education and care, or a diploma of community services, could increase by almost 250 per cent. “Huge numbers of people are currently employed in the various care sectors such as health care, aged care, child care and disability care,” Minister Farmer said. “They represent 14 per cent of the

Queensland workforce. These occupations rely heavily on the availability of affordable and accessible vocational education and training courses. “These sectors desperately need more staff – and are struggling to find more staff – and yet the Morrison Government has persisted with a new national pricing model that would make training significantly more expensive for students. “This has other serious ramifications, for example, when it is considered how vital beds in Queensland’s hospitals are being occupied by people who ought to be in aged care, but who cannot transition to aged care because of staff shortages in that sector. “There is a simple remedy to getting the stalled negotiations around a new National Skills Agreement moving, and finalising an agreement that the states and territories are willing to sign up to, and that is to remove the cause: the Morrison Federal Government,” Ms Farmer said.

Wildlife shot with air rifle pellets make full recovery The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital is delighted to have released two patients, Bonnie the common brushtail possum and Cruiser the lace monitor, back into the wild after they were found with air rifle pellets lodged in their bodies. In partnership with Crime Stoppers Queensland, Wildlife Warriors is working towards further protecting native fauna, as the Wildlife Hospital continues to see a significant increase in patients who are intentionally being harmed by humans. “Cruiser, the lace monitor, was shot six times with an air rifle pellet, and was hit by a car. Thankfully, we were able to release him

back into the wild following a full recovery,” Terri Irwin said, founder of Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors. “It is wonderful that Cruiser healed from his injuries, but this is just another reminder that animals need to be protected from such harmful acts, and we hope that our partnership with Crime Stoppers Queensland will lead to information on those responsible.” Cruiser remained in care for six weeks at the Wildlife Hospital and was treated with pain relief and specialised medication. He also suffered a fractured jaw due to being hit by a car. Cruiser was released by the Australia Zoo Rescue Unit.

Bonnie, the common brushtail possum, had three air rifle pellets lodged in her body, and was carrying a joey in her pouch when she first arrived. Thankfully, she too recovered from her injuries and was released back to her natural habitat. “With the lifesaving efforts of our veterinary team at the Wildlife Hospital, Bonnie and Cruiser received a second chance in the wild. Steve always envisioned a world where humans and wildlife would live harmoniously with each other, and we strive towards achieving that every day through our important work at Wildlife Warriors,“ Terri said.

In the last two months, the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital also received an ibis, a cockatoo and a second lace monitor, all with air rifle pellets lodged in their bodies. Sadly, they didn’t make it due to the severity of the injuries sustained. Significant rewards are being offered to those providing information leading to the prosecution of those responsible for such illegal acts against Queensland’s defenceless wildlife. To report a crime against wildlife, contact Crime Stoppers Queensland on 1800 333 000.

UNESCO biosphere bid nears finish line The final countdown has begun as the Sunshine Coast community eagerly waits to find out if the region will be recognised around the world as a biosphere. If granted, it means UNESCO will officially recognise the Sunshine Coast as an international site of excellence and an area of natural beauty. Just four other sites in Australia are UNESCO-designated biosphere reserves including the Great Sandy and Noosa Biosphere Reserves. In 2019, on behalf of the community, Sunshine Coast Council developed the UNESCO Biosphere nomination and this June will find out if the region gains international recognition, joining the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said he was thrilled the nomination had made it to the final leg of the process. “A biosphere is a special place where responsible development and people working, living and playing sustainably sit alongside

active conservation,” Mayor Jamieson said. “This is about celebrating people and nature. “Having this credential will help us protect and enhance our region, communities, economy and natural assets. “Becoming a biosphere will help us create a legacy for our children’s future, care for our beautiful landscapes and stunning beaches, protect, share and celebrate the cultural heritage of our communities and leverage international recognition and economic opportunities to grow local businesses. “With so many markets wanting a clean, green product, our biosphere providence will open up enormous opportunities for our food and agri-business sectors, allowing our local businesses to brand their products and showcase our Sunshine Coast Biosphere. “The UNESCO Biosphere nomination has been informed by our community, a diverse range of industry sectors, interest groups and government and I thank the Sunshine Coast

for their input and support.” Biosphere Community Reference Group chair Will Shrapnel said if the region was recognised as a biosphere reserve then people could operate their business or enjoy the outdoors as they had always done, but with a confidence of a better future through a shared goal of sustainability. “It’s important for our community to understand the fundamental value of sustainability within our region and recognise that we can all play a role in protecting and celebrating this special region where we live, learn, work and play,” Mr Shrapnel said. “Currently, Australia has four UNESCOdesignated biosphere reserves, and across the world there are more than 700 in over 130 countries. “I’m excited at the prospect of our Sunshine Coast joining this World Network of Biosphere Reserves.” Sunshine Coast Council Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said it was an exciting time for the Sunshine

Group Executive Liveability and Natural Assets Bill Haddrill, Community Reference Group chair Will Shrapnel, Community Reference Group member Melva Hobson and Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson. Coast and particularly all those directly involved in the journey to date. “With more than 3000 community members engaged and 609 surveys completed in the preparation of our nomination, it has truly been a team effort,” Cr Suarez said. “We expect an announcement in midJune and we look forward to sharing the outcome with the world.”

Spotlight on mercy ships Since 1978 Mercy Ships have deployed state of the art hospital ships to 14 countries in Africa to provide medical aid and safe surgery to some of the five billion people globally who would otherwise have no access to such treatment. Mercy Ships community fundraising executive Sue Moore will talk about the work of Mercy Ships at the next meeting of Tewantin Noosa Probus Club. “Every day both children and adults die from causes that can easily be treated here in Australia. One in eight children die before they reach school age,“ Sue said. “Our ships are staffed by a team of global volunteer professionals who selflessly provide free life-changing surgeries. They also train and upskill local healthcare professionals so that they can continue providing support to those who need it most. “Last year Mercy ships delivered 11 40-foot shipping containers with much needed supplies, worth nearly $2 million, to

public hospitals in the Pacific Nations of PNG, Samoa, Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue and Tokelau.“ Sue Moore will be guest speaker on Tuesday 24 May at the club meeting held in the bistro at the Tewantin Noosa RSL Club with morning tea at 10am before the meeting at 10.30am. Club president Joan Page said the club offered fun and friendship for all retirees in the Noosa shire. “We meet at the RSL in Tewantin on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 10 for 10.30 starting with morning tea ($5) followed by an interesting guest speaker and a brief meeting,” Joan said. “After the meeting, we enjoy games of trivia followed by an optional lunch so members and visitors can continue to socialise. “During the month, we have regular outings, weekly lunches and lots of activities to suit all interests and levels of fitness.“ Visitors welcome.

Noosa artist Owen colours clubhouse

Shauna Hill at work.

Although we like to think of him as Noosa’s own, big, generous surf artist, Owen Cavanagh is a citizen of the entire Sunshine Coast, spreading his good vibes and talent far and wide, as he’s proven again by project-leading the creation of a bright and meaningful mural for the North Shore Boardriders clubhouse. One of the longest-established surfing clubs in the country, North Shore has a proud record of contest results and community good works, but, let’s face it, the clubhouse was in need of a makeover when long-time member Owen approached Sunshine Coast Council for some funding about six months ago. Councillor Joe Natoli jumped on board, so to speak, and Owen and his team - including local First Nations’ artist Shauna Hill,

Steven Bordonaro from Crazy Horse Studios and Rod Tickle from East Coast Airbrushing went to work. Owen said: “The concept is a story depicting the original landowners and connecting us to country with the art by Shauna. “The kombi van driving up from the northern parts of Brisbane depicts where the original club members lived and how they would drive up here for competitions on weekends, and you can see the van passing the Glass House Mountains. “The mural shows an overview of the beach where the club holds its competitions. To the left is Old Woman Island and to the right is Point Cartwright.” Shauna Hill explained the painting was about sharing the

Sunday Markets

dreamtime story of Maroochydore. “It’s the traditional story of Maroochy whose partner got killed. They say she turned into a swan and cried a river of tears, and that’s how all the waterways of the Sunshine Coast were made. “Not many people know about this story, so when they hear about it, the story keeps spreading and that’s kind of the point of Indigenous art. “We have our history, and we keep it through our artwork and storytelling, so by having it out where people can see it keeps the tradition going.” The project was funded by Sunshine Coast Council’s Division 4 minor capital works budget which contributed $12,500 to complete the works.

Step up for Katie Rose By Jim Fagan Katie Rose Cottage Hospice at Doonan recently received a $1.5m grant from the federal government and, according to board chairperson, Carol Raye, “We are now confident this will take care of the waiting list we often have here.” She told Noosa Today, “We’re thrilled with the recognition of our service and the grant will enable us to offer to the community two more palliative care rooms to the three we currently have. “In addition to the new rooms and renovation to the garage, we will be able to add a much-needed administration office plus more storage areas. Work is due to start later this year.” The Doonan hospice is known as -- “a happy place, where sad things happen”. It is regarded with warmth and affection by the Noosa and Sunshine Coast community as a tranquil haven where people can finish their days with dignity, peace and in a circle of love with their family and friends. Carol said: “The new extensions and services, however, bring with them a vital need for funds to operate the extended service and we are asking the community to continue to support us.” The hospice has launched an end of financial year appeal for donations to offset the increase in running costs which will come with the expansion. There is no charge for this compassionate service and only about 20 per cent of the funds it needs is received from the State Government. The other 80 per cent is from local people who appreciate and admire what Katie Rose represents. Shortly, Katie Rose will introduce a home palliative care outreach service. This will operate on the northern end of the Sunshine Coast and service people from Peregian, Coolum, Noosa and Eumundi—in fact, the whole northern end of the Sunshine Coast.

The hospice is working with Queensland Health to provide the service which, initially, will look after 10 people a day who need end of life care. The move to palliative home care is a significant undertaking as it means more nurses, supply vehicles, mobile IT and software, as well as clinical care kits that are placed in vehicles. The logo of the hospice is the little Forget Me Not flower and it will be the theme of a gala event at Alba by Kuravita at Noosa Heads on 18 June. The event is just one of the vital fundraising activities the hospice has planned for this year— activities like fashion parades, raffles, market stalls and the like, plus the daily efforts of the many volunteers across four op shops on the Coast. Said Carol: “As we approach the end of the financial year, we are asking people to please take a moment to reflect on your year and consider supporting the continued success of Katie Rose Hospice with a tax-deductible donation. We will always need your help.” This year Katie Rose would have been a 17-year-old Sunshine Coast young adult, enjoying her family, texting her friends and thinking with enthusiasm about the future. Sadly, it was never to be as Katie was born “sleeping” and her name was graciously given to the first Katie Rose Cottage by her mother, a palliative care nurse, who also started it. Her legacy lives on, however. The new Katie Rose Cottage hospice in Doonan is now in its sixth year and considered a well-run, fully accredited and much-loved hospice. Carol added: “The biggest credit goes to Noosa and the wider community without whom this could not have happened. Everyone should be very proud of what it has helped to achieve. Katie Rose hospice is indeed one of a kind. “Please visit our website at katierosecottage.org.au to find out how you can volunteer, information on our upcoming events, or make a tax deductible donation.”

Carol Raye with Katie Rose fundraising and partnerships manager Leigh McCready with one of the two new Cuddle Beds at the hospice. The beds, which were donated, are designed to allow families and their children to get close and give comfort to the terminally ill. Each bed costs $21,000 and the hospice is appealing for donations for another three for its other palliative care rooms.

Help Brett help the kids By Phil Jarratt

He recalls: “We ran the whole thing from my verandah, with a handful of foreign visitors helping us to judge, and a domestic flight ticket as first prize. Around 30 surfers shared just four boards over three days of competition, and it was awesome!” From such humble beginnings, associations were founded and surfing has slowly won official sanction. Says Brett: “Now we have a national federation and nationwide leagues competing annually. This year we are finally beginning to get the recognition deserved by the sport, and the minister of tourism has asked us to develop surfing as an international tourist attraction specific to our region.” The potential in Fort Dauphin is for jobs for young people in surf shops, surfboard hire and surf lessons.

In 2021 Brett reached out to friends in Noosa and around the world to help send his young team to the national championships. Generous donations enabled 20 surfers to cross the country for the event and carry off the senior, junior and open trophies. “They cleaned up,” says Brett, “and we can’t let the momentum die.” Now, Fort Dauphin has been selected to host the surfing component of the 2023 Indian Ocean Island Games, and in preparation for this, the first of two events, a regional championships, will be held next weekend, with a major surfing festival, under the patronage of the minister for tourism, scheduled for September. Surfing is on the rise in Madagascar but in Fort Dauphin it still has to pay its own way. Fortunately, thanks to the generosity of Noosa World Surfing Reserve, Noosa Boardriders Club and individual local surfers, the $1500 required to run this month’s regionals has almost been raised, but this small surfing community on the poverty line needs ongoing help.

Former Noosa restaurateur Brett Massoud fell in love with Madagascar the moment he set foot on the world’s fifth largest island back in 1987. But with a lot on his plate locally – like lending his exuberant spirit front of house to Noosa’s coolest bars and restaurants before establishing the funky and never forgotten Bratpackers in Noosaville – it took him a long time to set himself up on the colourful and beautiful but poverty-stricken Indian Ocean island. When he did, he chose isolated Fort Dauphin, from which base he has masterminded a string of ecotourism projects. Madagascar has been kind to him, and for the past couple of decades Brett has been repaying the favour. Despite being the vanilla capital of the world, the majority of people in Madagascar live in extreme poverty, 75 per cent of the population living on less than $1.90 a day. This hits children the hardest, with more than 80 per cent of those under 18 living in what UNICEF describes as extreme poverty, with chronic malnutrition affecting almost half of children under five. While building his tourism business, Brett has also focused on humanitarian endeavours, particularly related to children. Around the turn of the century he noticed that the local kids around Fort Dauphin were getting pretty good at surfing, despite the fact that the only surfboards available to them were a few beaters left by travelling surfers. Says Brett: “For those of us who live in places like Australia where surfing is a multibillion-dollar industry, it is hard to imagine that here there are keen surfers, empty and perfectly-formed waves, but barely a surfboard in sight. “Here in Fort Dauphin there is no surf shop, no boards or wax for sale, no ding repairers, and local kids start out surfing on fence planks,

Helitak receives approval Noosa-based Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment has received further approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to add more Black Hawk model Type Certificates (TC) to the FAA Supplemental Type Certification (STC) of the Helitak FT4500 Black Hawk fire tank. This will bring the current number of TCs to 18 and the total number of approved models to 24. The receipt of this recent Approved Model List (AML) amendment means operators of Black Hawk helicopters issued under these 18 type certificates are approved to install and operate the Helitak FT4500 fire suppression tank. Over the coming months, additional type certificates will be added. As the only FAA certified underbelly fire suppression tank for the Black Hawk helicopter in the world, the proven performance of the Helitak FT4500 fire suppression tank has been further confirmed. As a consequence, sales into the American market and advanced discussions with both

military and civilian operators in South America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region are currently underway. Helitak recently signed sales and service agreements with Arista Aviation and Seaview Aviation and these new partnerships will help further expand the Helitak international footprint, enabling the team to continue to deliver the exceptional product support to customers they have to expect. Helitak previously secured their intellectual property with patent and design registration applications submitted in Australia, the USA and other selected countries and territories around the world to protect their next-generation tank design and tank mounting systems used in connection with the FT4500 Black Hawk fire suppression tank. The inclusion of the newer Sikorsky S-70 models on the Helitak STC is a major progression in securing market acceptance moving into the next few decades on these younger and somewhat more advanced Sikorsky models.

Helitak chief executive officer and founder Jason Schellaars said, “These additions to the STC are very important as it increases the number of helicopters that are approved to operate the FT4500 fire suppression tank, and these operators, who are so instrumental in fighting wildfires and bushfires, will be able to use our tank as part of their firefighting strategies.“ “Of course, if there are any TC’s that we have missed we are more than willing to discuss further inclusions on the FT4500 STC Approved Model List. “Importantly, the FT4500 is light, easy to install, allows for large Type 1 water volume capacity and offers easy plug and play operations allowing for a perfect and controllable drop pattern every time and when fighting wildfires and bushfires accuracy and being able to carry as much payload as the aircraft is approved to deliver is critical.”

Early oyster work success

Griffith University students work on the oyster baskets. more vulnerable marine species from predatory fish, giving them a head start in life. To increase the chances of success of the trial against variable or low recruitment of wild oysters in the gardens, some baskets will contain special seeded shells, local juvenile rock oysters settled on clean oyster shells at the Queensland Government-run Bribie Research Centre. Once the oysters in the baskets are large enough to resist marine predators, they will be released into the nooks and crannies of the oyster reef foundations that the Noosa Oyster Ecosystem Restoration Project, led by The Nature Conservancy Australia, is laying at key sites in the Noosa River.

“Many households, community organisations and schools have let NICA know that they are really keen to be part of the Oyster Gardening Project. “It is a wonderful project for local people to get involved in, share skills and knowledge and help kick start the re-colonisation of Noosa’s lost oyster reefs.“ Mr Western said. For further information or to join the program contact NICA at admin@noosariver.com. au This project is supported by Noosa Shire Council, the Thomas Foundation, the Australian Government and The Nature Conservancy.

A trial exercise for the Noosa River Oyster Gardening Project is showing early signs of success, with juvenile oysters, mussels and other marine species rapidly colonising clean oyster shells deployed in baskets in the Noosa River. The Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) is undertaking the field trials to determine if the oyster baskets can contain the oyster shells, remain robust and attract wild oysters and other marine species. As part of the trial, NICA has deployed 10 oyster baskets into the main channel of the Noosa River estuary, each containing five kilograms of washed, recycled oyster shells. The baskets are suspended into the water column by ropes and wild species can enter them through the large mesh. This week, NICA invited researchers from the Australian Rivers Institute at Griffith University to inspect the baskets and work with NICA to assess the success of the trial. Despite the frequent rain and muddy river conditions, the survey team discovered a plethora of juvenile oysters attached to the oyster shells, some up to 15mm in diameter. Several additional species were also observed in the baskets including juvenile mussels, bryozoans, molluscs, polychaetes, ascidians, crustaceans and even fish. NICA’s project manager Alex Western said it was great news. “Heavy rain and muddy water can impact on marine life, but rain also encourages oysters to spawn. The oyster shells are attachment points for oyster spat (baby oysters),” he said. “They also provide homes for a variety of marine life. The trial is going well.” The success of the trial will lead to a broader Oyster Gardening Project whereby local Noosa residents will adopt and care for baskets of oyster shell over a six to 12 month period. In this time, wild oysters and other local Noosa marine life will colonise the oyster baskets and grow. The baskets will protect these

Brand supports 60 others By Abbey Cannan An idea from two local business women has blossomed into a major brand supporting over 60 of Noosa’s small businesses. During small business month in Queensland (May), Noosa Gift Co is celebrating just how far they’ve come since their launch 18 months ago. With her colleague and close friend, Noosa Gift Co director Sue-Ellen Knox, established the brand during the pandemic and has since sent gifts all over the globe. “We were both operating other corporate businesses and providing staff and customers with gifts designed from local offerings, when we realised just how much incredible merchandise was on offer and, from that, Noosa Gift Co was launched,“ Sue-Ellen said. “We are focused on quality and bringing together amazing creators, makers, and designers, to take Noosa and Sunshine Coast artisans to the world.“ Keeping it local when it came to design, they teamed up with acclaimed and experienced creatives, including local artist and designer Cass Deller who developed their exclusive brand and packaging, and photographer Chevaune Hindley who ensured the collection of gift boxes were showcased to perfection. “Our website and social media platforms also proudly boast the images of local surf photographer Tracy Naughton, capturing the natives and natural beauty of our surrounds,“ Sue-Ellen said. “Together with our amazing stockists we are focused on our environment, protecting

Local energy lab planned

Smile Make Over State of the art facilities with no surprise expenses.

The initial proposal has several components. Firstly, installing increased solar capacity on the Council-owned buildings. Secondly, investigating the optimum use of the extra electricity generated with the possibility of installing a community scale battery or similar storage scheme. In the longer term, once regulatory issues have been addressed, it is hoped the site could become one of Noosa’s first micro grid projects and/or a virtual power plant (VPP). Thirdly, in recognition of the inevitable uptake of solar vehicles, it is proposed that several electric vehicle charging stations are installed around the Rufous Street precinct. Fourthly, it is planned to use the new community house as a venue and focal point for a series of community forums to explain the energy hub concept and to provide a venue for the exchange of ideas as to how the “hub” could be further developed. Finally, it is hoped that links will be developed to possible renewable energy start-ups at the Peregian Beach Digital Hub. Once the success of the project has been

demonstrated, there is no reason the project could not be expanded to eventually embrace the whole village centre of Peregian Beach and not just the immediate buildings in the Rufous Street precinct. Council is currently investigating the optimisation of the roof spaces for solar in the precinct and the opportunities for standalone batteries that could potentially to be shared across the facilities behind the meter, as well as EV chargers at the Rufous Street precinct. In keeping with the vision of the Noosa Biosphere, the energy hub concept has the potential of becoming an energy lab, thus positioning Peregian Beach as the smart centre of the Noosa Shire. Perhaps an energy lab is a better descriptor (as suggested by some) than an energy hub. Either way, Peregian Beach is set to cement its reputation as the smart centre of the Noosa Shire, and it is hoped that the energy lab will attract early-stage renewable energy start-ups to the Peregian Beach Digital Hub. With land zoned for business a finite resource in the Noosa Shire, it makes sense to capitalise on existing resources

Plans to transform and expand the Rufous Street precinct into an energy hub are part of many ambitious projects envisaged by Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. (ZEN Inc.) in 2022. The site at Peregian Beach already houses the highly successful Digital Hub as well as the new community house (which has the potential to become a true community hub, not just for Peregian Beach, but for the wider Noosa community). Proponents argue that the development of an energy hub at the site would complete the trifecta. The germination of the idea crystallised at ZEN Inc’s strategic planning workshop last year and the potential was readily recognised. Indeed, the concept is already attracting interest from a number of players in the energy space. Several of the buildings on the site are owned by Noosa Council and, as such, the installation of increased solar capacity on the buildings would be in accordance with Noosa Council’s Zero Emissions Organisational Strategy 2016-2026, which seeks to install maximum solar panels on Council-owned facilities. The proposal is also in keeping with Council’s Environment Strategy, Climate Response Plan and its Economic Development Strategy.

On paper, Keeping Faith revolves around a mother and lawyer in the Welsh countryside. It sounds run of the mill, until you watch it. Beginning with a thrilling first season as Faith (Eve Myles, pictured) tried to find out where her missing husband had gone, it quickly became apparent that this was a series unafraid to go full throttle. Packed with ambivalence, secrets, moody landscapes and a histrionic soundtrack, it’s back with its third and final season. Eighteen months have passed and Faith is busy juggling motherhood and the biggest case of her career, only to have her idyll threatened by the return of someone from her past – her estranged mother, Rose (Celia Imrie).

These folks can take on anything, from a newborn stuck inside a plumbing pipe, a boa constrictor choking a woman, an airbus plane crashing in water, and a roller-coaster packed with people stuck upside down. You name it, they’ve been there – and lived to tell the tale. This double episode kicks off with the team rescuing a diver who panicked in a shark cage.

If there’s anyone who makes cooking look like a cinch, it’s Silvia Colloca (pictured) – if only we could all look as fetching and joyous while we kneaded mouth-watering bread and simmered a rich ragu. The former opera singer and actress is not a trained chef, but the Italian expat is arguably more at home in the kitchen than Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal combined – she’s effortless. This week, Colloca gets into the spirit of Ferragosto, a mid-summer holiday ritual across Italy where families gather to eat delicious food. Featuring a sumptuous three-course feast with seafood and affogato, it’s the sort of public holiday we all need.

The Pub Test

In readiness for the Pub Test.

The Don’s Party election History and literature both tell us that in politics, things are not always what they seem. Which is why this week’s Pub Test, published on election eve, discusses shoulda/woulda/ coulda aspects of the 2022 Federal Election campaign, and what it means for Noosa. This week’s beer swillers and wine guzzlers included observers and participants from both sides of the political divide, with PHIL JARRATT doing the wrangling. Pack leader: Let’s assume, for the purposes of this conversation, that the election is going to be a cliffhanger, which implies that the country is more or less equally divided about who should govern. What does that mean for Noosa? Female voice: Well, if the government gets reelected it means that the huge amount of funding that Llew O’Brien has secured for Noosa since 2016, around $82 million, will continue. If Llew retains the seat of Wide Bay, which all the evidence points to, but Labor wins government, then access to those funds will pretty much stop. Pack leader: Is pork-barreling a good enough reason to change your vote? Female voice: That’s a personal preference, but $80 million lost to a place as small as Noosa is a noticeable gap. 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 May, 2022

And it’s not pork-barreling because it’s stuff that’s needed, like Sunshine Beach Surf Club, for example, which is now set up for long-term sustainability. But pork-barreling happens on both sides, and to be honest, Llew doesn’t need to do it. Bloke’s voice: If we were in a marginal seat, say Longman, would we have received more funding than Wide Bay over that same period? Female: I don’t know. It really comes down to how hard the member advocates for funding. In our case we’re really lucky because our member has a great record for advocacy, not just in Noosa, but across the electorate. Bloke: You mean the road improvements? Female: Yes, and it comes down to his strengths as a politician and a person. Llew can focus more on making these things happen than say Terry Young in Longman where he has to focus more on keeping his seat. Bloke: Maybe, but he’s got plenty of roadworks happening down there too. Pack leader: So if Llew stays but ScoMo goes, and we accept that pork-barreling happens on both sides, can we expect Labor to look after Noosa? I haven’t heard much local advocacy coming from the Labor candidate. Bloke: There’s plenty of support for Labor in Noosa, but I think it’s mainly of the rusted-on

type, people who’ve voted Labor all their lives, so you don’t hear much from them. I thought it was interesting that in the TV pub test [Good name – Ed] after the third leaders’ debate that Albo came out on top by a good margin right across the swing seats. He didn’t have the magnetism of a Paul Keating, and no real ideas to share on climate change. He was as silent on that as the LNP, but I suppose they just thought he was a good bloke. Pack leader: And did you notice that no one appeared to have been offered a drink! Not like our pub test. Can I top anyone up? Female: Can I go back to whether Labor will look after Noosa? We know they won’t because it’s already not happening at state level. We don’t get any love because they don’t need to show us any. They don’t need our vote so we just get drip fed little bits and pieces that amount to nothing. Other bloke: I don’t think the argument that Federal Labor would do as Queensland does necessarily follows. Pack leader: Maybe a Federal Labor government would have to give Noosa some serious consideration as one of the country’s top tourist destinations struggling with the problem of affordable housing and rental accommodation for staff. They might also be taking a longer view of where the changing demographic might take

us, which might well be into a different electorate. Female: Yes, we’ll definitely become part of Fairfax again in the future, as we were until the 2007 redistribution when we became Wide Bay. As the southern end of the Sunshine Coast gets more populated, a new seat will be created and Fairfax will push north. Other bloke: It seems to me that a lot of conservative voters move here to live and while they might continue to vote the same way at federal level, they feel and vote quite differently on local issues. You see that with support for the Biosphere where they are more or less greenies, but still might vote LNP. Female: And that makes perfect sense. Remember that a third of the LNP is the Nationals, the people of the land, who know that unless they look after their environment they can’t grow their crops. Other bloke: The notion of conservative government was originally about conserving the status quo, conserving the land through small government that doesn’t interfere so much. Now that’s been completely flipped around from conservation values to moneymaking. That happened in the US when the first George Bush chucked out the Environmental Protection Act because it was standing in the way of big business.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Pack leader: We’ve got Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan as the pinup boys for the Nats while being more or less climate change deniers, Barnaby being the less. So it’s a bit of a stretch to present the Nats as the protectors of the land. Protectors of the coal mines of the land, yes. Female: Maybe we should be looking more at the deputy leader, David Littleproud, who represents views that the moderates can get their heads around. What about the independents? Pack leader: If it’s a cliffhanger, the independents are going to be crucial. How do we feel about that? Bloke: I like the independents, and I liked it when they had the balance of power in the Gillard government and Julia Gillard had to negotiate with them on many issues. You see the same thing happening now in New Zealand. I think that helps create a road map for good policy. Pack leader: If a teal is a cross between Liberal blue and Green green, why don’t we have the same connection between Labor and Green? Other bloke: Because purple wouldn’t work. (Laughter) It goes back to what I was saying before, that the roots of conservatism were about protecting the land. Pack leader: I think they were more about keeping things as they were, presumably including the land. Other bloke: That’s where teal is coming from. Greens are actually old-fashioned conservatives. Bloke: I think it’s mainly doctors’ wives, people who’ve made enough money and now want to keep people out and make more national parks. You can see that reflected in the changing membership of organisations like Noosa Parks Association. But I don’t think we really see much of the traditional political groupings of the workers and the bosses here. Everyone has come here with their own story, but we pretty much all have the same mantra – let’s keep Noosa as it is. Female: A lot of the independents have been recruited by various groups like Climate 200, who have advertised for candidates who are then put through a vetting process, like what happens in a party. So they’re not independents in the way we see them at council level. Most of these so-called independents are women, and most have a Labor background. That’s why I think it’s disingenuous to call them independents. I also think it’s important to be a team player when you’re doing something as important as running the country. I don’t think it helps in a democracy when it gets down to one person holding the balance of power. Bloke: In a hung parliament you’re more likely to get members crossing the floor on conscience votes, which is a good thing. Female: Which we’ve seen happening with the vaccine mandates. Pack leader: Rabbit hole, rabbit hole! Let’s go back to the original idea of the Westminster system, which was the representation of individuals, not parties. Good or bad? Bloke: Well, we’ve seen that in Noosa where we made a conscious decision to keep party politics out at the local level. You can sometimes tell where they sit on the political spectrum but they mostly act as independents. Pack leader: The mayor of Noosa is a member of the LNP, so what would happen if council was voting in favour of an issue that was contra to LNP policy? Female: It wouldn’t happen because the LNP doesn’t have local government policies. Pack leader: Well, what about if our population cap bubble was in danger of being burst by the force of the SEQ super-city, a favourite of Barnaby Joyce’s? Female: There’s no problem within the LNP of people speaking out against party policy. The LNP is a broad church, as John Howard once said. Personality politics Bloke: Does anyone find it interesting that Morrison has started to self-reflect, as though he knows he’s going to lose? Talking about things he’d change, like bulldozing and captain’s picks. It makes you wonder why he didn’t

do it 12 months ago. Female: Timing is everything in politics. I think 12 months ago he would have won the election easily. Things change quickly. Pack leader: Going back to the Channel Seven pub test, it seemed to me that Albo won it by default. They both said the same things in different ways but one was like a used car salesman and one was like a favoured uncle. Female: They went for the least worst option. Other bloke: I think Trump put that idea to bed in 2016. Female: We’ve become far too invested in personality politics, which is a factor of low attention span. It would be good if people would focus on the policies and the values they come from, but there’s too much in the way. It’s like Keeping Up With The Kardashians. (Laughter) The dumbing down of politics. Pack leader: And one of the main reasons for that is for decades now the major parties have been moving to a centrist position that’s more electorally appealing because it’s not really very different. Who’s going to protect the coalmines? They both are. Female: I agree that the major parties need to focus more on their points of difference. Bloke: The thing with swing voters is they’re not focused on ideologies. Other bloke: I disagree. I think they’re focused on climate change. Female: You mean you are. Other bloke: No, I mean nationally. Pack leader: The death of the planet is fairly important to most people. Bloke: Don’t look up! Female: If that was really the case, the Greens would be governing. Pack leader: If Bob Brown had been leading them now, maybe that would be so, but they’ve been diluted in their quest to be more than a one-issue party. Other bloke: Bob Brown in his prime would be the most important player on climate change. He knew how to get the message across. Bloke: But his message still wouldn’t influence the major parties who know the voters care more about paying the mortgage. What were the issues again? Pack leader: The beer’s running out, we’re close to a wrap here, so what are the issues this election should have been fought on? Other bloke: At the height of the mining boom John Howard gave everyone a $940 handout which at the time I thought was terrific. Now I think the money would have been better spent on building infrastructure, and we’d be in a much better position. I would like to have seen a vision for Australia’s future as an issue in this election. And waste management. We’re drowning in waste but no one talks about it. Female: I don’t think climate change is even a top three issue for working class families. Worrying about what might happen in 50 years is a luxury they can’t afford when they’re struggling to feed their families. Pack leader: Campaign spending is completely out of hand and yet the campaign rolls on for two weeks while people have already voted in droves. The pre-polls have been packed every day since they opened. If people have heard enough and made up their minds, why don’t the candidates just give it a rest and save a few million? Other bloke: They’ve built up so much nervous energy they have to keep going. (Laughs) Bloke: I’m still going to vote on the day. I think most of the people who vote early are rusted on and they’d made up their minds before the campaign started. The people whose vote could change the result are still voting on election day. Female: I agree that a lot of people who vote early have made their minds up early. They want to cast their vote and switch off because they’ve got election fatigue. But the other side to that is that some people believe they shouldn’t be given the option to vote before they’ve heard all the arguments. Bloke: I hate it because if 50 per cent vote before the election, we’re not going to get a result for weeks if it’s close. How are you supposed to have a Don’s Party?

A Don’s Party primer Since Labor leader Anthony Albanese stumbled on the field and almost kicked an own goal just hours into a six-week election campaign, what had looked in the polls like a decisive win for Labor suddenly looked more like defeat clutched from the jaws of victory. People started making comparisons with the Don’s Party election of 1969, when incumbent war hero and populist prime minister John Gorton almost lost to the sharp and younger Labor lawyer Gough Whitlam. Later immortalised in a groundbreaking play that established the career of our own David Williamson, the 1976 film of Don’s Party, directed by Bruce Beresford with an all-star cast, remains an icon of our film industry, alongside The Castle. Some of the comparisons were obvious, others less so. In 1969, Whitlam was expected to roll the gaffe-prone and womanising Gorton, ending decades of conservative government. In 2022, rough around the edges Albo was expected to demolish smooth-talking Scotty from marketing who wouldn’t hold a hose, ending a decade of conservative but revolving-door leadership. As the ‘60s ended, the global explosion of youth culture and sexual revolution had landed in Australia while our tired conservatives were sending young men to fight someone else’s war that didn’t seem to make much sense. In 2022, a global pandemic and the most hostile geopolitical outlook since World War II fed the appetite for change, alongside

Don’s Party playwright David Williamson. Picture: ROB MACCOLL zero wage growth and the impossibility of home ownership. Williamson’s brilliant play depicts the demise of a suburban election night party as it becomes clear that change she ain’t a-comin’. Dreams shattered, Don and his mates slide into drunken debauchery. Given the advanced demographic and the fact that pre-polling almost guarantees we won’t know the result for several days, the same is unlikely to happen here tomorrow night. But it might.

Council development change.. I refer to the letter to the Editor of Friday 6 May written by David and Betty Rowan and share their concern and disbelief that the approval for the construction of an aged care facility by Blue Care on lots 6 and 9 Grasstree Court has been rescinded. As a former business owner (and valuer), this decision must send shock waves through any prospective investor who might consider investing here with this precedent shouting from the rooftops that it is of no consequence that you have obtained all of the appropriate approvals and commenced work accordingly only to be told they are invalid. It reflects incredibly badly on Council and the Councillors who have apparently agreed to support Councillor Stockwell and begs the question.... who picks up the tab for the project... is this another example of Council blandly spending unlimited money paying costs or defending their decisions in court? As a resident of 24 years, I am sad to see this lack of integrity by our Councillors. M.Hill, Noosa

Politics in community groups How interesting it is to see local community groups openly come out and support one side or the other political party during election time. Do they forget where some of the money they receive in grants come from? If you recently received a copy from LNP Llew O’Brien you will read a supporting statement from the prez of the Noosa Heads Surf Club. Firstly this is against the rules of SLSQ, and secondly what about the $30m that the state Labor government gave them to help them survive. One would think it is time for the person to resign in shame. Mark Denham, Former Noosa Labor State Government candidate

Has NPA lost its way? Thank you Darlene Gower for clarifying the position of Noosa Parks Association on the construction of commercial accommodation within Cooloola National Park. The concerns in the community about NPA’s position on this are not, as you suggest, ‘spurious’. They are well founded in fact, and it is concerning to me and many others that an organisation with a proud history of activism and achievement (as you point out) should roll over and acquiesce simply because ‘the Queensland Government intended to proceed with this concept’. Surely vulnerable places like Poona Lake and the upper reaches of Noosa River deserve the support of your organisation in opposing destructive development. NPA may not want be part of the process going forward but, if it held the right values, it could be part of the rising swell of dissent around commercialisation of National Parks here and nationally. Where is its proud history today? It is true that commercial operations within Cooloola National Park are not new, but an historic lease at Elanda Point (and NPA’s

Keen amateur wildlife photographer John Bennett was driving past Lake Donella in Tewantin recently when he spotted two Jabiru feeding in the shallows and rushed home to grab his camera. “This is an extremely rare find in Noosa,” he said. Here are a couple of his photos. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au own lease at Double Island Point) are hardly reasons to support future open slather commercialisation in some of the most vulnerable parts of Cooloola NP. Perhaps the NPA is compromised by its own commercial lease in Noosa National Park. Ms. Gower suggests the organisation only represents the members, so as a concerned citizen I ask all the members of Noosa Parks Association whether they understand the implications and truly support commercial development in these vulnerable parts of Cooloola National Park or whether they just ignore the realities and allow the executive to speak for them. Perhaps NPA has had its day as an organisation representing environmental values. In this instance I think it has certainly lost its way. Judy Barrass, Noosa

There is no vaccine against stupidity Reading Mr. Steve Hall’s Black Friday contribution (NT Letters 13 May) brings to mind Einstein’s observation that: “It may be possible to fight intolerance, stupidity, and fanaticism separately, but when they come together there is no hope“. Steve perceives an election result of a minority Labor Government relying on the wisdom of Greens and Teal judgement as the only electoral result possible to successfully run Australia and he rejects either a Labor majority Government or the return of a Coalition Government as an acceptable election result. Then, we are asked to believe that such a chaotic, assured disastrous electoral result would magically avoid increasing environmental problems, increasing energy costs, regular blackouts and increasing unemployment. Unfortunately, through his green-left ideology, Steve seems not be to remember the accepted opinion that wisdom comes from experience gained with time and that might be the reason why so many young altruistic greenleftists progress with age and gained wisdom and grow into adult, common sense Conservatives opposed to loss of freedom of speech and action and oppression like Steve’s beloved vaccine mandates. Let us hope that Steve doesn’t get his wish on 21 May and when we vote, remember Einstein’s opinion that “There is no vaccine against stupidity”. John Smeed, Noosaville

Life continues to evolve From our experience we can’t ignore climate

change and our thoughts are with those who have and are experiencing it now more than others. We are also reminded sometimes daily by science through the media, with evidence of fossils of animals and humans millions of years old that the climate change that wiped them out in one sweep was a meteorite or whatever name they wish to describe it. The ensuing explosion robbed them of that we today and every living thing rely on. Whether in one minute, day, or longer, we do not yet know. We do know for a fact and must thank our lucky stars (whoops) with all that space junk we have put up there and those massive hunks of rock passing us by daily that it could all happen again. Whatever the end result, there will always be some form of life evolving later. We are all here today for some reason with different opinions as to why. Maybe it might take longer than seven days next time. Maybe ET is not a just a figment of someone’s imagination. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

SSL update Noosa’s local law on short-stay letting (SSL) was passed on 21 October, 2021. How is implementation going seven months later? Implementation of the law was delayed by three months to 1 February to allow for promotion and implementation. Twelve weeks to launch a community information campaign and mail out to the known 5000 (SSL) alerting them to their obligation to register and for Council to process their applications by the date of effect, 1 February. A big task, 400 applications would need to be processed each week to meet the date of effect. With a lead time of five years over two Council administrations and an implementation budget funded by SSL registration fees, $647 per property x 5000 = 3.235 million, Council should have been ready with an implementation team in place to process applications promptly. What happened? Council suspended registration fees until 30 June. An action that flew in the face of residents’ submissions and starved the implementation program of necessary funds at the outset. There was no information, advertising or mail-out campaign. Council posted information on its website, a strategy that relies on initiative and self-reporting by SSL owners (you come to us, we don’t go to you) and put out a comprehensive Guide to Short-Stay Letting on its website. An excellent guide that could have been written at any time over the last 10 years. Didn’t need a bylaw to do that. Having failed to issue a mailout initially, did

Jabiru on Lake Doonella.

Council utilise the next opportunity, the February Rates mailout to commence a cohesive implementation strategy? Well - no. What happened? Nothing. Council hoped SSL owners and their managers would comply. Did they? 1 Feb, date of effect: SSL registered - nil. Council advises 461 properties have been registered to date. At this rate of processing it will take six years to register known properties, without dealing with others. Is this an appropriate time frame for implementation of any administrative task? The local law is due for review in October. How can it be reviewed when it has not been implemented? Council tells us other Councils and countries are closely assessing this initiative. I presume those organisations are concluding that whilst the local law may have potential, it is difficult to assess its effectiveness without effective implementation. Regrettably, one can only surmise of the damage Noosa Council is doing to its reputation by delivering such a masterclass in failed administration. Residents care. Mayor Clare and CEO: do you?

Data is tracking red foxes The European red fox is one of 24 mammal species introduced to Australia since European settlement and, despite being the subject of widespread lethal control, it maintains an estimated population of around 7.2 million across Australia. While its presence is well known in the Sunshine Coast region where it is also the subject of lethal control, its ecology and function in the hybrid assemblage of native and introduced biota in the region is poorly understood. On 27 May at Friday Environment Forum, Dr Julie O’Connor from the University of the Sunshine Coast will give a detailed account of her study of this introduced pest. The overall aim of the study was to examine the contemporary ecology of the red fox in a section of urban coastal southeast Queensland, focusing on: Overview of the population structure, spatial organisation and habitat selection of foxes living in this modified urban coastal habitat.

The Dawn Light is here The Dawn Light will celebrate the release of their debut album Because of Love with a special performance at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 18 June. Also performing on the night are their close friends, The Peter Hunt Band, along with Pat Tierney. Because of Love is a 12-song album capturing the exquisite singing and songwriting of Japanese born and Sunshine Coast bred Angela Newcomb (whose voice features on Ziggy Alberts’ latest album Searching for Freedom) along with partner and bassist OJ Newcomb (John Butler Trio, Band of Frequencies, Afro Dizzi Act). After many years of deeply connecting with the profound verses of great mystic poets – Hafiz (renderings by Daniel Ladinsky) and Francis Brabazon – Angela began to embrace their poems as lyrics, writing songs that could be described as a dear companion to the human spirit, shedding beams of light, joy and inspiration on the path of life. The album and band also feature highly acclaimed musicians Charles Wall on drums (AKA Bobby Alu, Xavier Rudd), Brodie Graham on guitar (Band of Frequencies), Gareth Mews on violin (Cigany Weaver), Rohan Seekers on keys (Life on Earth) and Nick Garbett on trumpet (The Vampires, The Strides) as well as beautiful string arrangements by Steve Newcomb and Sarah King.

Sounds of Vienna music tour kicks off in Noosa The Sounds of Vienna tour starts with its first concert in Noosaville on 29 May with the stellar international lineup, including the orchestra’s co-artistic director, clarinettist Nicole van Bruggen, who was, until quite recently, a resident at nearby Peregian Springs. The tour invites audiences across five states to journey with them to a magnificent European city at the dawn of the 19th century: Vienna – where music was performed everywhere, from homes to streets and even taverns. The orchestra boasts an international ensemble of leading exponents of historically informed performance (HIP), assembled for this program especially – a pairing of a wellknown masterpiece by Schubert, and a delightful rarity by Joseph Leopold Eybler. Schubert’s towering Octet (1824) for winds and strings is his most ambitious chamber work, and arguably his finest. Eybler, though surprisingly little known today, was in his youth dubbed ‘the greatest musical genius in Vienna’. His sparkling Quintet is a wonderful example of late Classical style.

The orchestra boasts an international ensemble of leading exponents. The Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra’s co-artistic director and clarinettist Nicole van Bruggen said, “One of my favourite artistic aspirations for the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra is to present composers from the 18th and 19th centuries who have undeservedly been forgotten or neglected alongside those we know and love.“ “The Eybler String Quintet is a fabulous

example of such a work. And of course the magnificent Schubert Octet requires no introduction.“ The line-up for Sounds of Vienna tour consists of Nicole van Bruggen, clarinet (Brisbane); Niels Coppalle, bassoon (Paris); Anneke Scott, horn (London); Jenna Sherry, violin 1 (London); Peter Clark, violin 2 (New York); Simon Oswell, viola (Melbourne); Daniel Yeadon, cello (Sydney); Rob Nairn,

double bass (Adelaide). As part of the related Voyage of Musical Discovery education program, guest artists William Barton, didgeridoo, and Veronique Serret, violin, will perform alongside the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra in Brisbane (Tuesday 31 May) and in Sydney (14 June). Part concert, part demonstration, the Voyage events were established by the orchestra’s founder, conductor and music educator, the late Richard Gill AO. They offer adventurous programs for high school music students and their teachers and are also equally popular among regular audience members keen to widen their horizons and explore the new alongside the classics. The Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra’s 2022 Season continues with a large-scale orchestral program Tempestuous Skies in August, featuring some of Mozart’s best-loved masterpieces.

They will be supported by the Hannah Macklin Duo. Hot Potato Band’s larger-than-life brass collective is a breath of fresh air, setting a new bar for energetic and interactive musical performances. Finding home in Sydney, their positive coastal energy pushes euphoric boundaries in their bold quest to reignite acoustic instrumentation. The band’s 10-year street performing history and unique sound is built on the backs of three drummers, a sousaphone and five horns that cover catchy chorus lines, providing a beautiful harmonic cloud for Ben (vocalist) to float above. HPB is un-bound by genres, stages and audiences.

War secrets are revealed Wars are fought on many fronts — not just the physical, geographical fronts of battlefields — but also the rather less visible fronts of secret, covert and intensely dangerous operations and highly classified missions.

A new book by Queensland author Tony Matthews, Spies, Saboteurs and Secret Missions of World War II, now tells the remarkable stories of some of the countless top-secret missions that took place during the Second World War. From highly organised but fatally doomed spy–rings, through to overwhelmingly perilous sabotage operations in enemy territory, these stories of men and women from both sides of the ideological fence, and all walks of life, are nail–biting examples of the courage, stamina, and occasionally the negligence of those who attempted to take the fight into the dark shadows of espionage and secret warfare — what we today would call black-ops. For example, when eight well–trained Nazi saboteurs landed on American shores with the intention of undertaking years of deadly attacks on US facilities, most of them were unaware that their mission was doomed to betrayal from the very beginning, and that six of those agents would soon end their lives in the electric chair. Many of the characters in this book displayed astonishing bravery in the face of almost insurmountable odds, including intellectuals Mildred Fish–Harnack and her husband, Arvid Harnack. The couple left American shores during the late 1920s but had no way of knowing that they would become leaders of a major German resistance group, the members of which would fight doggedly to free Europe from the heel of Nazi tyranny. Mildred and Arvid would go down in history as two of the top espionage agents of the Second World War, and both would end their days within the grim walls of Berlin’s notorious Plötzensee Prison. Mildred Fish–Harnack would be the only American woman executed on Hitler’s personal orders.

Historian and author Tony Matthews.

And then there was Joseph Kennedy, brother to future American president, John F Kennedy, who, after completing his highly dangerous tours of duty with US Bomber Command, refused to go home to see his family and instead volunteered for a top–secret operation so dangerous it was almost certainly going to take the lives of at least some of those who joined the project. What happened to Joe Kennedy and his co–pilot in 1945, in the skies over England, where they should have been relatively safe, has gone down as one of the great personal and political tragedies of the war, for Joseph Kennedy, even then, was being groomed as a future American president. Spies, Saboteurs and Secret Missions of World War II also tells the remarkable story of one of war-torn Holland’s most infamous events. When a group of six Dutch Resistance fighters planned to steal a simple truckload of meat in an attempt to feed at least

some of the millions suffering from deliberately enforced starvation, it would have been unimaginable to them that they could accidentally be igniting one of the most vicious and bloody Nazi reprisal actions of the Second World War. Black propaganda, deep–level espionage, clandestine submarine operations, experimental warfare and deadly resistance undertakings — this is a page-turning true-life spy thriller by one of Australia’s leading war historians. Spies, Saboteurs and Secret Missions of World War II by Tony Matthews tells the actual stories of some of the most difficult and dangerous secret missions of the Second World War. Published by Big Sky Publishing, the book is available from all good book stores or online through Booktopia. Spies, Saboteurs and Secret Missions and other titles by Tony Matthews can be found on the publisher’s website at bigskypublishing. com.au

Clandestino Coffee will bring the world’s most sought-after coffee to town.

Top coffee beans are here A Noosa specialty coffee roaster and retailer is bringing the world’s most sought-after coffee to town, worth $1000 per kilo. To celebrate their 10 year anniversary, Clandestino Coffee will bring microlot Cabana San Jose Natural Geisha from the Esmeralda Special 2021 Grand Reserve to your homes as a limited release. Clandestino Coffee founder Jaxon Taylor said the coffee was in extremely high demand during the auction and ended up being hideously expensive. “We’re only just covering our costs and selling this coffee in 60g tins for $60 ($1000 per kilo), or you can enjoy a cup in our cafe for $25 but it will strictly be brewed as a pour-over

filter coffee,“ he said. “When I first tasted Hacienda La Esmeralda back in 2010, it completely changed my relationship with coffee. “Its flavour range was extraordinary. It introduced me to high floral notes such as jasmine, lavender and exotic bergamot. “This cup is as pleasant as your palette can identify in coffee, yet at the same time retains a full bodied mouthfeel.” The Esmeralda Special has been one of the most anticipated annual coffee auctions in the industry since 2007. The estate releases their highest scoring Geisha varietal coffees which are produced in small quantities for roasters all over the world to bid on.

“Ten samples of this year’s auction lots were cupped by our team at our roastery, five washed and five natural processed coffees,“ Mr Taylor said. Hacienda La Esmeralda LOT ES-N-1-4 Cabana San Jose Natural Geisha was without a doubt a stand out amongst them. “I knew that this was the one for us. Expect a complex cup with a creamy body unveiling in sweet notes of strawberries and cream, jasmine and tropical fruits, be surprised by sweet and delicate acidity,“ he said. Out of the 50 auction lots of green beans available for purchasing, we secured one 50 pound box (22kg) of it. Cabana San Jose Natural grows at high al-

titudes on the Canas Verdes farm, one of four coffee farms in Panama that have been run by the Peterson Family since 1967. With its distinct three to four month dry season, this area produces balanced and fruity Geisha microlots with delicate flavour profile and high complexity, setting records in the Best of Panama competition. This special release comes in tins as a limited edition and is available through online pre-orders only. You can taste the most expensive coffee at Clandestino Coffee flagship store in Noosaville – where it is served exclusively as a pour over. For more information visit clandestino. com.au

Long-awaited launch of limited release wintery brew Heads of Noosa Brewing Co are thrilled to announce the long-awaited launch of their limited release range. This has been years in the making and a real passion project for head brewer Lance Masterton, affectionately known as The Brewmaster, who spoke glowingly of the first brew in the range – the Baltic Porter. “We’ve crafted and tinkered with these recipes over the years to a point where we’re finally happy to release them to the world,” Lance said. “Nothing leaves this building unless it’s of the highest standard, and our limited release range is no different. “This is the first of many to come in our limited release range, which are all beers we simply love drinking. Lance describes the Baltic Porter as “a delicious marriage of chocolate, caramel and raisin notes”. No more than 3600L of the wintery brew are being released and it will only be available in 40 venues across Queensland. Online VIP pre-sale packs sold out in less than a week, and both private launch parties at the brewery, and at Blackwood bar in Brisbane, are also sold out. The team was blown away by the demand and excitement shown by their lagerloving audience to finally try the eagerly anticipated new release, and suggest visiting their Taproom at 85 Rene Street, or keeping an eye on their social media channels, to find exclusive stockists.

LIVE NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

It’ll be an Irish celebration Friday 17 June at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi is sure to be a big night of Irish celebration and good times with The Barleyshakes, featuring brand new material and lots of your old favourite Irish songs and tunes. The Barleyshakes will be supported by emerging act, Jam and Scones. The last three times the Shakes (as they are often known) played the Imperial, it was a total sell out, so early booking is advised. The Barleyshakes are famous throughout the land for their modern yet traditional take on lively Irish music - intense energy, beautiful harmonies, and irresistible dance rhythms. Brewed in Ireland and distilled in Australia, The Barleyshakes have been performing since their inception in Dublin in 1995. They have a remarkable ability to hold hands with the tradition of Irish music while infusing it with a fresh and contemporary spirit. Their live shows have taken them around the globe and they continue to take audiences on a joy-filled ride wherever they perform

The Barleyshakes are famous throughout the land for their modern yet traditional take on lively Irish music. (they were a highlight at last year’s fire event for Woodford Folk Festival, where they performed to 20,000 revellers). They use fiddles, flutes, tin whistle, banjo,

mandolin, guitar, vocals, bass, bodhran, and drums to create their truly wonderful Celtic sound. They have shared the stage with Christy Moore, Damien Dempsey, Lunasa, Metallica,

Kila, Joe Cocker, Sharon Shannon, Altan, and Grada - to name a few. After well over a decade together, this ensemble know each other so very well, creating something fresh every time they perform. Frontman Alan Kelly has won many awards for his songwriting, including a Queensland Music Award for world music. Two members of the band also contributed to the Lord of the Rings award-winning soundtrack. Jam and Scones is a recently formed Sunshine Coast/Brisbane-based band breathing life back into classic rock with their diverse and dynamic arrangements of timeless hits. Having just begun university, this sevenpiece ensemble of groovy young adults complement rock, soul and reggae classics with originals from their new unreleased EP. With their soaring saxophones, rich harmonies and energetic stage presence, these gents are quickly bursting onto the live music scene. Tickets: $25 (+ booking fee) through Oztix. 18 plus event. Doors open 7.30pm.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Wild weather hits fishing With heavy rains, winds and swell smashing the SEQ coast, it comes as no surprise to know that fishing offshore has been on hold. The Noosa Bar will see some changes once the rains recede, so for those heading out once things clear up, you should take your time as your previous track may not be there. Now is a great time for boat owners to do all those tasks we often put off. Checking wheel bearings for play is important, especially if you are planning a trip away. Also, look at condition of leaf springs and rollers too. If you need grease, bearing kits, split pins and rollers for glass and plate boats, be sure to stop into Noosa Outdoors which is next to Tackle world Noosa. Surf anglers will see some big changes along the coastline with a big shift in sands, especially as we approach the full moon. With the flush in the rivers, you would do best to fish around the river mouths with bigger baits of mullet and pilchard as jew and maybe tailor will be on the chew after dark as we have light from the moon. In the river, things will start to run a bit dark and as such smelly baits and vibration lures and plastics should be top of your list. For bait anglers, fishing around the top of the tide where the waters will be at their saltiest will

help you. Try to stay around the dog beach, the mouth and Gympie Terrace as further up river things may be too fresh. Bait anglers should be running 12lb FC Rock leader and smaller size 1-1/0 beak style hooks with mullet and pilchard chunks. You can expect to pick up bigger flathead and maybe a jack, especially if you fish toward last light. Lure anglers will do well with soft vibes from the Samaki range and the new Berkley Shimma pro-rig has just landed. The rig has a big paddle tail and body roll sure enough to tempt the bigger predatory fish. With the big flush you can expect the mud crabs to be once again on the move. With a string of crab pots loaded up with our heads and frame bait, the scent trail is bound to get the interest of a passing buck. Freshwater angling is now on hold with the lakes and dams closed due to excessive flooding and levels. Once these drop down much like the river you are going to have to use vibration baits like vibes and blades. Expect the surface bite to be very quiet as fish adjust to the cooler rain water so fish deep and even break out spinnerbaits as it is likely to remain dirty and the gold blades from the TT vortex will stand out well.

An upgraded car park and course at Noosa Golf Club will create more than 40 jobs and support Noosa’s tourism and hospitality sectors. “The Noosa Golf Club has a growing membership and it’s a valuable community venue for local not-for-profit organisations, however, the course is ageing and needs to be rebuilt, and the existing car park is inadequate and forces people to park on the busy Cooroy-Noosa Road,” Federal Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien said. “This upgrade will not just improve safety with an additional 50 car park spaces, but it will create three permanent jobs, 40 jobs throughout construction, and allow the club to host large-scale golfing events and championships such as the Queensland Veterans’ Championships, which attracts 200 or more players, which will boost Noosa’s tourism sector. “It’s a win for the club members, for the broader community using the venue, for local suppliers and accommodation providers, for local charities supported by the club

such as Noosa Rotary and Zonta, and also for anyone using the Cooroy-Noosa Road.” The $2.6 million upgrade is jointly funded by the Noosa Golf Club and the Liberals and Nationals Government, which is investing $1.3 million through the Community Development Grants program. “The committee and members are very excited to have the Federal Government support and to partner with us in this very important project,” Noosa Golf Club general manager Allan Harris said. “The club will be able to better utilise the clubhouse and facilities for supporting local clubs, sporting clubs and charities along with attracting major golfing events that will contribute to the local businesses.” “This upgrade will mean that the club can further develop programs associated with junior clinics along with adult clinics, particularly women, and with the course upgrade, the club will be able to attract State or Federal golf competitions which will mean that the local community will benefit from visitors to the region.”

Ned’s back with 51 points Ned Richards has returned to golf on the Sunshine Coast in red-hot form. Playing in Noosa Springs’ Thursday members’ competition, Ned scored 51 stableford points for an emphatic win. Despite a quadruple bogey eight on the sixth hole, Ned shot 83 off the stick – a pretty good effort from the tough black tees. Deduct his 25 handicap and Ned returned a net score of 58. That equated to a rare 51 points, and saw his handicap sliced to 19. Ned, an electrical engineer, relocated from Melbourne to Noosa in 2015 and joined Noosa Springs, where he played for two or three years. Golf Services manager Warren Ellis said Ned had recently rejoined as a corporate member after being away for some years. “I can’t remember the last time anybody had 51 stableford points here,” he said.

It’s tough, just keep on going TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER

Judy’s learnt the game well Judy Buss, who learnt how to play golf while living in Singapore rather than become a golf widow, showed how good a student she had been when she returned 40 points to win a Noosa Springs stableford competition before the rain started falling. Judy, a 10-handicapper and a consistent performer at Noosa Springs, had three points to spare over Tracey Carter and Lee-Ann Hay. Judy, who grew up in Canada, was living with her husband Tony in Singapore in the ‘90s when she took up the game. The couple owned a home in Noosa and spent most of their holidays there before retiring to Noosa Springs a decade ago. Rare double for Greg Last week’s drenching rain could not have come at a worse time for consistent Noosa Springs member Greg Taylor, who had tapped into a rich vein of form before the heavens opened. Greg, playing off a handicap of 13, won the Monthly Medal stroke event on Saturday 7 May, shooting a round of 85 for a net score of 72. He beat Steve Walker on countback. The following day he backed up in the Sunday stableford competition, this time from a handicap of nine. Greg tallied 39 points to win by three points from David Wrigley. One of Noosa Springs’ most dependable players, Greg scored a remarkable 47 points in a stableford competition two years ago. Heavy rain closes Noosa courses The week of heavy rain played havoc with golf on the Sunshine Coast, closing courses, cancelling club competitions, and forcing the first round of zone junior pennant competition to be abandoned. The first round, scheduled to be played at Mt Coolum on Sunday and featuring a clash between defending champions Noosa Springs and a team from Noosa Golf Club, has been declared a washout, and will not be replayed. All teams will be allocated one point. Most Noosa region courses were open for play early this week. Olivia and Jen dodge the rain Noosa’s Olivia Dolan was the best performed of a strong Sunshine Coast contingent in the rain-affected Queensland Women’s Country Championship played in Cairns last week. Olivia shot a 12-over-par 82 in difficult conditions at Cairns’ Half Moon Bay Golf Club on Tuesday to finish eighth in Division 1 of the stroke competition. She and playing partner Judy Meager had withdrawn from the foursomes competition a day earlier because of the wet and windy conditions which restricted the event to nine holes. Noosa Springs’ Jen Carr was the individual Division 2 net winner on 73. Her gross score of 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 May, 2022

When things aren’t going well on the golf course, the easiest thing to do is give up. However, in doing so you don’t mature as a golfer and you miss the opportunity of enjoying a great comeback. The sign of a good golfer is one who can still manage a good score when they’re not hitting it well. Making a comeback is all about grinding your way back into it and never giving up. In doing so, you’ll play your way back into form and finish better than doing the alternative. Good golfing. PETER HEINIGER is Heiniger Golf/Noosa Springs’ head PGA teaching professional.

Katelyn Must, who swapped the practice fairway for the golf course last week. 97 placed her 13th outright. Silvana Phillips, also of Noosa Springs, scored 85 in the individual stroke event, and teamed with Mount Coolum’s Kim Cummins to finish 9th in the foursomes. Tick off an item on your bucket list Noosa golfers and their families have the chance to make their dreams come true and attend next year’s US Masters championship. And they’ll be hosted by two very well-informed locals – Noosa Springs teaching professional Peter Heiniger and Teed Up Golf’s Chrissy Hordern. Peter and Chrissy hosted a similar tour in 2018, and describe it as the trip of a lifetime. Tourists will play golf at some great golf courses and witness four days of the Masters, including the par three tournament prior to the big event, and the exciting final round on Sunday. “There will be a lot of fun together as a group, but there will also be plenty of time for guests to do their own thing,” Heiniger said. Accommodation for Masters week will be at the charming Willcox Hotel in nearby Aiken, South Carolina. “If you’ve always dreamt of watching play at Amen Corner from your very own Masters chair and witnessing the presentation of the green jacket on Sunday, this trip is definitely for you,” said Heiniger. Contact Chrissy Hordern at chrissy. hordern@gmail.com for information. Kirk struggling on LPGA Tour Katherine Kirk’s career on the US LPGA Tour may be winding down. The veteran, who still calls Noosa home, has played a limited schedule this year, choosing to remain in the United States rather than follow the tour overseas. She followed a first-round 70 in this week’s Founders Cup at Clifton, New Jersey, with an uncharacteristic second round 80 and missed

the cut by a margin. After competing in five events this season, Kirk was languishing in 128th place on the LPGA standings and in danger of not automatically qualifying for playing rights next season. During an outstanding 19-year LPGA career, Kirk, 40, has won three times, scored 40 top 10s and earned more than $5.75 million in prizemoney. How to produce great juniors Noosa Golf Club’s success in producing outstanding junior golfers does not come by accident. The club has a strong junior program, conducted by teaching pro Jimmy Douris, which helps turn inexperienced youngsters into proficient golfers. Classes are held after school each Wednesday for boys and girls aged from six, and on Friday for older children. To be a part of the program, children must be Noosa members. Beginners can join as cadet members for $49 a year, while junior membership costs $225. Membership includes one clinic a week, a free tee-shirt and free social membership for parents. Katelyn tackles the best trainees Peregian teaching professional Katelyn Must tested her game in the Bribie Island PGA Open Match event last week – shooting one-overpar 73 and finishing only one stroke behind a quartet of winners that included trainee Order of Merit leader Dylan Gardner, of Pelican Waters. The Monday series of 18-hole events is usually restricted to trainees, but professionals engaged in teaching and other areas of the golf industry are allowed to play in some of the tournaments. Must’s days as a trainee are long gone, but she remains one of Australia’s most accomplished female golfers, campaigning impressively this year on the WPGA Tour.

NOOSA TIGERS

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Play goes on for Tigers By Julian Pitts Amazingly some games went on last weekend and seriously I cannot recall seeing more atrocious conditions that faced the Rococo Noosa Tigers at Surfers for well over 10 years. The Noosa locals have copped a barrage of rain already in 2022 and the sideways constant downpour on the Gold Coast the entire day was just insane. A turf cricket pitch in the middle of the ground resembled something like the old Moorabbin days back in the ‘80s where I’m pretty sure the Saints may have helped with the water problem. Sheets of water across the entire ground made for just a good old fashioned slog. Get in, put your head over the footy and get it forward kind of stuff. And the boys from Noosa did not disappoint. In fact, both teams deserve credit. It was a seesawing affair from start to finish. The Tigers in front by three points when the final siren sounded. There is a different kind of steely sill about the boys representing our beautiful resort town this year. It’s a winning mindset. When it would have been easier to take the two points or postpone the game due to horrendous conditions, no not the Noosa Tigers whose sole purpose was to brave the circumstance and grab the four points that was on offer. It’s a massive win and one that all should be proud of.

The Chris Rourke message of ’hard at the ball, hard at the man’ and ‘make sure you always contest’ was on show for all, led beautifully by skipper Aaron Laskey who fitted the conditions perfectly and yet tired his way to plenty of possessions and timely physical hits. His offsides in the centre in Templeton, Wallis and the irrepressible Seb Rogers were more than manful in their total output to the win. Harry Maher across the wing and in particular in the defensive side, was just superb with his reading of the play and crucial marking. Flagg was also a ripping contributor in the back half as were McCrimmon and Opie. Old timer Aaza Richardson loved the conditions and looked at home in his first senior game for the Tigers in well over a decade. Connor McDonald battled manfully as he always goes on a day not for big fellas while Jai Fitzpatrick and Tommy ’prime train’ Baulch added the class and skill to eventually finish the Surfers’ charge. Just a wonderful win that I’m sure will come in handy as the season wears on. Media award votes: 5. H.Maher 6. A.Laskey 7. T.Templeton 8. T.Baulch 9. L.Flagg Well done, Tigers.

One of Noosa’s stars was Tommy ‘prime train’ Baulch.

The whales are coming as migration season begins Its time to keep an eye out for the whales now the humpback migration season has begun with Double Island Point Lighthouse offering some of the best views as they pass by. According to the Department of Environment and Science (DES) during whale season, more than 25,000 whales are expected to swim past Queensland from now until November as they travel from and return to the Southern Ocean. “Many of Queensland’s national parks offer the perfect viewing platform with the best times to spot their breaches and blows in calm morning conditions or late afternoon light. “If you’re out on the water, it’s important to give these powerful marine mammals their space. There are a number of rules in place to make sure marine mammals can live naturally in Queensland waters without being disturbed, while at the same time allowing us to watch them in safety.” The DES said having approach distances in place reduces the risk of disturbing whales or dolphins and applies to boats, prohibited vessels (including jetskis and hovercraft, aircraft (including helicopters ) and people who are in the water. The ‘caution’ zone is an area surrounding a whale or dolphin in which boats cannot travel at speeds of more than six knots or speeds that create a wake. The caution zone extends out 300 metres from a whale. Within a caution zone there are areas designated as ‘no approach’ zones that boats cannot enter. These are the areas closest to an animal and directly in front of and behind an animal. For a whale, the no approach zone surrounds the animal for 100 metres and extends 300 metres in front of and behind the animal. “Saving the humpback whale from extinction is one of the world’s great conservation success stories, and it’s wonderful that we can share the seas with these beautiful creatures.” Friday, 20 May, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 41

Ingi’s story of resilience By Lee Mccarthy Ingi Doyle lived in Rainbow Beach for four years from 2016 until 2020 and competed in triathlons across the country before she and partner Scott Elms moved to Birtinya on the Sunshine Coast. It was a fortuitous move, as one of the fittest women on the circuit, this 53-year-old superfit mother who prided herself on her dedication to sport and thrived on her credibility as a triathlete had a reaction to her second Covid-19 injection and has been in hospital on and off since. Ingi received her first Pfizer injection on 12 June 2021 and the second on 4 July 2021. From the moment she received the second vaccination she said she immediately lacked aerobic energy and on 18 July 2021, 14 days later, Ingi first presented to emergency. Ingi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and lower back. It was getting worse near midnight, so she went to emergency. It was during the Covid lockdown, and she was greeted by a team of doctors at the emergency department who introduced themselves and told her she had a dissected aorta. “My husband Scott was not allowed to come in with me due to Covid. I was quickly attended to and assessed, sent off for a scan. “A dissected aorta sounded to me like a death sentence. I was again sent off for a different scan, so they could pick up more details. “It was confirmed, I had a dissected aorta from below the renal arteries, down to the iliac branch. “Later that morning, I was sent to a ward where I had a lot of tests as they were looking for a cause and signs of disease.“ Ingi was started on blood pressure, stroke, cholesterol, blood thinning, painkillers, and nausea medications and she learnt that there was no obvious reason why this had happened to her. “I had them all puzzled how someone at my age, so fit and healthy, living a fitness and health-based lifestyle, would be struck by this. “I also learnt that they found a condition called Fibro Muscular Dysplasia (FMD), in my posterior neck arteries. This is a condition I had never heard of, but they said, it is likely I have had it all my life. “They found a small dissection on my left side, but I was told it was unrelated as it looked all healed over and old. Of course, they looked high and low for other signs of FMD in all the common places but found none.” After an additional few nights on the ward, Ingi was sent home to manage her new condition with medication as well as strict instructions not to elevate her heart rate or blood pressure. After two weeks at home adjusting to a very slow way of living, Ingi got a phone call asking her to come straight back to emergency. This time she was sent to ICU. “Again, the various teams of doctors were rotating fast, explaining that I had a hematoma developed above my dissection, getting very close to the renal arteries. “They were getting ready for surgery. I was about to get a new piece of aorta with new arteries to my kidneys. I had a massive graft, and it was a huge surgery, that left me with a nasty scar and a pressure sore on my backside.” Ingi said the next week could only be described as a living hell. She has vivid memories of being in ICU, feeling sick all the time, not eating, and hooked to tubes of food. Her kidneys, bowel and liver had stopped working during surgery as the blood supply was cut for some time. “The risk of living without kidney function and/or bowel function forever was an everpresent, terrifying reality and the heavy drugs I was given made me hallucinate badly and I lost time and days.” “Several times I just felt like I just couldn’t go on and asking the doctors if I was going to die was commonplace in my new hell. I was being rolled from side to side to stay off my pressure sore. “My kidneys were hooked up to dialysis. I was trying different drugs for pain to get away from hallucinations. “At the end of my ICU stay I was allowed to drink and eat liquids. This proved to be a real struggle as my stomach would not accept much. 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 May, 2022

Ingi in hospital not knowing what the cause of her illness was

“I also had the misfortune of experiencing two vasovagal attacks, fainting, and leaving me unconscious for a short while. “ After successfully getting on the walking frame with the physios and moving slowly up the corridor it was decided Ingi was ready to go to a ward after two weeks in ICU. She said the surgery had been a success and her failing kidneys were nursed back slowly with regular dialysis. Her liver function improved and continuous blood tests and reassuring scans over the next week made her feel positive. “My weight had now started to plummet, and I was feeling weak rather than sore. The nutritionist team, that is still supporting me, kept a close eye on me. “Short walks up and down the corridor, plus trying to get as much food into me as possible, became my daily routine. “The one thing I couldn’t shake was the constant nausea and an oversized belly. My abdomen was huge, pushed out like a tight drum with skin ready to pop. “The renal team kept trying to get fluid off me, but all it did at the end was dehydrate me without moving the fluid off my belly. “Fourteen litres had been removed from me, but my belly persisted and wouldn’t budge. “ After eight nights, Ingi was told she was well enough to go home. She still couldn’t eat very much, and the constant nausea was still there, and she had crippling neck pain which developed after they removed the final central line coming out of her neck. It was replaced with one that was put in for dialysis use only. Once home, Ingi had to continue dialysis as an outpatient, three times over the next week, five hours each visit. “At my first follow up, my neck was really playing up. It had the doctors concerned and I was called into emergency that same night for an emergency scan. This time my arrival was expected, I did not have to wait even for one minute. “All my details were on their screens ready to go. Within minutes, I was hooked up to machines, blood taken and rushed into the CT

sided, but the neck pain still made her head fuzzy and kept her up at night. The following week she had a follow up appointment with the liver specialist. It was decided she start reintroducing fats into her diet, while keeping a close eye on her belly. This is where Ingi is now, nearly two years later, and she said at the moment it all seems OK. “I feel like I have turned a corner and finally have a little more energy. I have started to do some short walks around our lake. I have even been out of the house for a couple of short trips. “I still have a very long way to go. Each day, as the day progresses, I get tired, and my stomach is bloated and unsettled. “As my haemoglobin is low, I need to inject myself once a week to boost it. This is a job for Scott, as there is no way I could do that myself. It is only for a few weeks, until things go back to normal.“ Ingi said overall she was progressing in the right direction and she and Scott were hoping for smooth sailing from here. She has followups and ongoing treatments for her neck, which is improving. “My now, very thin body is all about getting more energy onboard so I can start rebuilding. “Today, as I walked around the lake, I listened to my running music. It was emotional and uplifting at the same time. As I glance at my shadow and see this stick-like silhouette, I tear up. But I am determined, no matter how long it takes, to get back. “I look well again, but what you can’t see is that I still have ongoing follow ups, scans, and blood tests. I must check my blood pressure regularly and I am still on medications. “My kidneys are only at 28 per cent and it looks like they will stay there. “I have to live with the graft forever and have been told not to exercise at higher levels which means my lifestyle and living has changed forever. “I get tired very easily and I have some weird pains in my hands and feet, still to be investigated and I am trying to find a ‘new me’.“

scan. As my kidneys were only just starting back, I had to sign a special permission slip to be able to have the dye. They weighed up the risks and benefits and deemed it worthwhile. “This gave us both a big fright, as the last thing we could cope with right now, was another setback. In true VIP style, the results were interpreted very quickly, and I was declared safe and stable. No further issues at all! “Over the next few days at home, my belly did not get any smaller, and the renal team was getting more and more concerned. The great part was that my kidneys had kicked in more and more and the decision to stop the dialysis for a week as a trial, was made.” After only a few days off dialysis, a young doctor decided to investigate her belly further. After more scans and x -rays she was off to see the liver specialist and it was decided that her belly was full of fluid caused by a leak from her lymphatic system, so she was called back into hospital for another vacation. “This time, they put a drain in my waistline, guided by ultrasound. After six hours, three full bags of chyle, had poured out of me: 14 litres, just from my belly. “I can’t describe how amazing it felt to lose all that pressure on my organs, ribcage, and spine. I felt like I was melting away. I learnt that chyle is made in the lymphatic system every time you eat fat, and its purpose is to move the fat away.” “As it turns out, my lymphatic system was damaged during surgery, and a small leak had caused my belly to fill up. “Each time I ate something with fat in it, it would leak into my belly. The best cure for this is to be on a no-fat-diet, to allow the leak to heal naturally. “I was again getting advice from the nutritionists. By now, my weight was 53-54 kg. I had lost so much weight. A no-fat-diet just seemed absurd as I already looked and felt completely underweight.” After four more nights on the ward, Ingi was again sent home with strict diet instructions and follow up appointments booked. She said sticking to this diet was incredibly difficult, but the good part was that her nausea finally sub-

Big upgrade for Mudjimba Since the 1970s, the hidden oasis of Mudjimba Beach Holiday Park has been welcoming generations of travellers craving a caravanning and camping escape. The tranquil park, situated directly across the road from the stunning Mudjimba Beach, will soon offer upgraded visitor comfort. Sunshine Coast Council Division 8 Councillor Jason O’Pray said works had started on a modern, sustainable and accessible amenities block. “This home-away-from-home is one of our region’s most peaceful holiday havens which is why council has invested $1.6 million in the amenities facility to ensure they remain contemporary and attractive for all our valued guests,” Cr O’Pray said. “Early works kicked-off in March to prepare the foundations for the new building’s amenities and showers for all campers, including those living with a disability, and a laundry space to wash and dry. “Local construction firm Murphy Builders have been engaged to construct the new building which will also be equipped with solar power generation, battery storage and rainwater harvesting for use in flushing toilets. “The existing amenities building will stay open to campers while the new facility is being built on the south-side of the existing block.

“Once the coastal-style building is ready for guests, the existing amenities building will be demolished and removed from site to make way for open green space.” While campers enjoy soaking up the sun and salt air, council has selected materials, fittings and fixtures to withstand the coastal environment, achieve longevity and reduce maintenance costs. Mudjimba Beach Holiday Park manager Nicole Filippini said the new upgrade would be well received. “This upgrade will meet the demand for the ever-growing number of guests exploring this wonderful part of the Sunshine Coast,” Mrs Filippini said “Each site is private and peaceful away from the bustling crowds and is one of two councilowned, dog-friendly family holiday parks on the Sunshine Coast – the other at Coolum which is also undergoing a very similar amenities upgrade. “The Mudjimba Beach Holiday Park now offers guests 109 fully serviced slab sites, 64 fully serviced grass sites and 10 unpowered grass sites which was also thanks to an upgrade in 2021. “These upgrades go a long way to improving the park, which I’m sure campers will be very excited to see and use from around August.”

Sunshine Coast Council invests $1.6m in Mudjimba Beach Holiday Park and contemporary camping.

Noosa FM sings out for volunteers to join the team Noosa’s popular radio station and community organisation is looking for expressions of interest from locals to volunteer in different parts of the station. Noosa FM’s president Sibylle Reisch said they are looking for people of all ages. “We are looking for new blood to join our colourful team of presenters, some of whom have been with the station since day one in 1995,“ she said. “The first skillset we are looking for in our radio presenters is to have interest and joy in music. We are looking for all genres of music with vacancies for country music, classic rock and classic music.“ Presenters are able to select their own choice of music and create their own programs. “This is quite unique with Noosa FM and we find this reflects the wide variety of people of our community and develops talents and creativity,“ Sibylle said. “Many of our wonderful listeners listen to us all day and we get many comments about how smitten our listenership is with the variety of presenters and their music choice. “Mind you, some say they wait all week for their most favourite program to come on air.“ Sibylle said the team trained new volunteers over a few months. “You will get to know your way around the station, our studios and equipment, and you will meet lots of different people and the thing that connects us all is music.” Sibylle came to Noosa over 22 years ago when she set up a company and air charter business with her partner, Noosa Aviation. When the Noosa airfield closed for commercial usage, they moved the business to the Sunshine Coast Airport and renamed it Sunshine Aviation. “We operated the business successfully for over 12 years and flew 1000s of tourists and local people to Fraser Island, to Hervey Bay, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and on local scenic flight tours, on outback tours from the Sunny Coast to Birdsville, Lake Eyre, Coober Pedy and to Uluru. “I designed a tour and named it pretty woman tour after that movie and thought it would mostly be booked by men to impress their female partners. “Later, I had to laugh at myself over this assumption because the tour was booked to 85 per cent by women who wanted to give something really special to their beloved man.“ Sibylle won a scholarship from the Women Pilots Association to advance her commercial piloting career and to train for regular public transport – in short, to pilot jets.

Sibylle Reisch and Indigo Walsh on stage. “It was time to sell the business and a family from WA bought it and their son, who was a pilot and ran the business for two years until he was too homesick and took it with him back to WA,“ she said. “I became an airline pilot qualified and then decided to go for my dream to become a flight instructor. Again, lots of months of study and training and travelling back and forth to Archerfield.“ Now, the industry has suffered greatly due to Covid and the cancellations of flights and airlines are struggling to stay in business. Sibylle said she was very lucky to find such a wonderful workplace with Noosa FM radio. “I have always loved radio and music has been with me all my life,“ she said. “I am not a musician. I call myself a music consumer. I love technical things that’s why I look after the radio’s technical side, and I take great pride in getting things worked out. “My great pleasure is training people and observing their positive change when they come to the radio. “It is certainly not for everybody, but you can give it a go and experience what it is like to entertain and be behind the microphone and live on air.“

Noosa FM offers many other areas of volunteering; admin, production, sponsorship, marketing, and event activities like outside broadcasts. “Remember, we will train you in all roles, if you have some computer skills that certainly helps,“ Sibylle said. “We welcome you to put your expression of interest forward together with an application for membership. “You can find all forms online on noosafm.org and you are welcome to come into reception and pick up a hard copy if that is easier for you.“ Noosa FM is in The J building at the Noosa Junction and entertains at all hours live on FM 101.3 or on their streamer via the website. Sibylle has two Noosa FM programs at present. “My Pet Purri program on Wednesday afternoons and is dedicated to pets and wildlife and Thursday mornings I mix music with science and environmental matters from all over Australia,“ she said. “Do I still fly? Yes, of course, whenever possible and whenever there is an opportunity to take someone to the sky. “A big thank you to all our listeners, mem-

Co-founder of Lyre’s Spirit Co Carl Hartmann has been providing Oscar with financial support.

Teen’s kite foiling talents Noosa teenager Oscar Timm has been selected to represent Australia at the Youth World Sailing Championships in The Hague, Netherlands in July. Oscar, currently in Year 12 at St Andrews Anglican College, is the national youth kite foiling champion, a member of the NYRC, ASYT (Australia Sailing Youth Team) and QAS. He has a passion for the newest class of sailing and sees this as hopefully the first of many international races. Despite his nomination to represent Australia, as with most sports, Oscar not only has to supply his own equipment, which so far exceeds the price of a brand new mid-sized vehicle, but is also required to pay his entry fee of $6500. Now thanks to Carl Hartmann, serial entrepreneur, co-founder of Lyre’s Spirit Co and a keen local kite boarder, Oscar is starting to receive some financial support. Carl has taken a keen interest in fostering local talent and has put his support behind Oscar, covering half of his entry fee for the World Championships, by linking Oscar to the Australian Sports Foundation, and facilitating a broader fundraising platform for Oscar’s campaign. “I met Oscar out kiting at the river mouth a few months ago and it was very evident he had a huge amount of raw talent,“ Carl said. “After getting to know his parents, Kai and Gabi, who are doing an amazing job in supporting him as much they can afford to, I just wanted to see how I could help. “Kiting has become my passion, but it’s something I discovered later in life when I had the resources to get into what is a very expen-

Oscar proved his skills last month during cyclonic conditions at the Sunny Coast Foil Festival (Qld states), hosted by the MYC and SKR at the Olympic venue. Proudly claiming first place in the Juniors (U19), and second in the Open competition,

Oscar beat the Australian National Champion, Hector Paturau (WA), and was only surpassed by pro kiter, Jean de Falbaire, the African Champion. In a post-regatta interview, Oscar said, “The waves in Mooloolaba were insane but are similar to my training environment hence I had a little advantage over Hector… Jean was in amazing form and I learned a lot from him.” Oscar and his younger brother, Jake (Year 11), only started kite foiling in 2020. Jake is snapping at Oscar’s heels, ranked second in Australian Youth and is a brilliant training partner. They have been very busy training in Noosa and competing up and down the Queensland

coast, in Victoria in January 2022 and three times in WA, consistently with podium finishes. They surf on hydrofoils with parachutelooking kites powered by the wind at about 70km per hour.

Talking Sport Ron Lane

Players came together at Noosa for the classic.

Serious competition on the court.

Progress of pickleball For the members of the Noosa Pickleball Club, last weekend was certainly one to remember. For the third year in a row, the club played host to 150 players from all over Australia who contested the Noosa Pickleball Doubles Classic, a tournament that is now becoming an annual event. Talking with Ron Gatliff committee member and tournament director, it becomes quite apparent that the game of pickleball, while still somewhat new in the world of sports, is now going gangbusters. ‘’To start it off we have a good representation from the Sunshine Coast, with clubs from Wide Bay, Noosa, Moolooaba, Caloundra, Bribie Island. Then of course there are clubs from Brisbane, several from the Gold Coast, also, a club from Ballina in NSW and one from Hampton in Melbourne.” Among those are members from the Gold and Sunshine Coast clubs who have just returned from the USA where they took part in the US open championships. The program, which catered for mens, womens and mixed teams, is now played by members whose age ranges from 21 to 76. Because of the big increase in player registration, what started as a one-day tournament, has evolved into demand for a two-day event. With the two-day tournament Saturday and Sunday, Saturday is now set aside as a day for the Intermediate grade: that is the players who are just starting out. “We created this concept as we believe, and rightly so, that to throw the novices straight into the open division where they wouldn’t stand a chance, would only be discouraging and they wouldn’t come back. We have found this concept to be very successful and accepted by all members.” For Noosa the two-day event was to be held at the Noosa Leisure Centre but because of the torrential rain, condensation occurred on the floor of the courts, making it slippery, thus rendering it dangerous to players. To avoid cancellation, a quick phone call to the Noosa Tennis Club was made, and with the problems fully explained, they agreed to help. One of the problems transferring the tournament to the tennis club, was that the difference between the size of a pickleball court and a tennis court, made the relaying of the lines on the courts a major project. However, with a large number of volunteers showing incredible team spirit, after several hours of dedicated work, the successful change-over was achieved. The hand of friendship extended by the Noosa Tennis Club to the people of the pickleball club, was no doubt well above the norm. Well done to all involved. Following the Noosa tournament, some members will travel to Honolulu where they will contest their national titles and as a follow up, some will then travel to France to again take part in a country’s national titles. Strange as this may seem in a relatively new sport, let’s remember that in the USA there are

Eyes on the ball at Noosa Classic.

Medal-winning players. now some five million registered players. With so many starting to travel interstate and overseas it shows that the sport is definitely on the increase. Add to this some of our local schools are now getting involved playing heavy sessions every week at the Leisure Centre. I think we would have to say that one of the most pleasing outcomes would have to be that of the lady named Debbie, aged 72, who hailed from San Francisco, entered the tournament and in her division won the silver medal. In the months ahead the most important aspect would have to be a strong continued promotion of the game of pickleball within the community and, equal to this, would be obtaining a block of land on which to establish what Ron describes as the home base for the Noosa Pickleball club. ”We have been pursuing this goal for 18 months and it is no easy job. A couple of times we had a good lead but they fell through. We won’t give up we will keep trying.” In the meantime, the club holds seven game sessions each week at the Noosa Leisure Centre, supported by five sessions at the Noosa Tennis Centre.

Winners are grinners. With so many players now visiting from not only interstate but also overseas, the fact that this sport is now established in Noosa is something for both our shire council and tourism industry to take note. When planning a holiday and choosing where to go, the fact that a town has your particular sport available would help in some cases to sway your final decision. Some look for good golf clubs, tennis clubs or a good surfing beach. This may be a small aspect when choosing a holiday destination, but it does count. When tourist brochures advertising sports available in our community are being printed, we should now include the game of pickleball because pickleball is here to stay. Carnival results for our local players were a total of 12 medals: one gold, six silver and five bronze. With the exception of two bronze, all the medals were won in the Intermediate section, the bronze being one each in the men’s and women’s open division. A more comprehensive breakdown in the Intermediate Division for men and women’s doubles age groups, is as followers: men’s one gold, three silver, one bronze, and the women’s, three silver and one bronze.

All in all, it was definitely a great weekend for the sport of pickleball so, a big well done to all involved. And in particular a big thank you to the Noosa Tennis Club for their support. Rugby league For a lot of sporting events, last weekend saw many cancellations, including the Pirates’ away game. However, for Pirates this Saturday 21 May, with weather holding good, will be full on for the club and its supporters, with a total of five games on the program, starting at noon in the women’s, Pirates vs Kawana; 1.30pm u/18s Pirates vs Kawana; 3pm Division 2B, Pirates vs Pomona/Cooran; 4.30pm Division 2A, Pirates vs Kawana; and the main game Division 1, Pirates vs Kawana. Then at 7.30pm there will be a promotional fun game of senior men listed as the International Latino Origan Game, fun for all to finish off an afternoon of good rugby league. For those who saw last Saturday’s game, it was a game that will go down in club history. Once again to the team and coaching panel, you made us proud - rugby league at its best and, who knows - it could be on again this Saturday. Friday, 20 May, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 45

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Caitlin Simmers on fire.

Radical slash from Molly Picklum.

Challenger series ignites It’s been a long time since I sat riveted to a qualifying series surf comp. Maybe a short check in online to see what conditions were like and who was making a noise, but nothing like this week’s opening to the WSL Challenger Series at Snapper Rocks. After a long and exciting afternoon in front of the box watching the Challenger finals day live up to its name in extremely challenging waves on the Superbank, I went to the laptop to see what the trolls were saying, and not much of it was good. I had to wonder if these people had been watching the same event I’d just watched. Even some old and accomplished surfers of my acquaintance were wailing about the coverage being so boring they had to switch it off, and yet they also seemed to have watched enough to disagree with many of the heat results. Go figure. But if the bloggerati had issues, the commentators certainly didn’t. The 1978 world champion and former ASP boss Rabbit Bartholomew is one of the best analysts in the game and he’s done a fantastic job on the WSL commentary team throughout this Australian season, but I’ve rarely seen my old mate Bugs as excited as he was while he talked us through events at Snapper. Strapped in and firmly gripping the armrests like he was on Space Mountain at Disneyland, he was clearly enjoying the ride. And this was just a qualifier! The frequently critical online surf media also got the vibe. Nick Carroll wrote on Surfline: “The pandemic re-arranged many things in our surfing world, and one of those small re-arrangements was the vanishing of the championship tour from Snapper Rocks. So much fuss at the time! “Yet watching this year’s Challenger begin to roll, you gotta wonder if it might have all been for the best - 160 super-psyched surfers from around the world, all showing up at once during maybe the prettiest swell of the year, ripping it up and just hanging out.” Of course, by finals day it wasn’t quite the festival of fun that Nick describes, but for my money the difficult conditions only added to the drama, creating entertainment we have only ever glimpsed at qualifying level before, as Swellnet editor Stu Nettle noted: “After that event it feels like the Challenger Series could perhaps reach its intended potential. “That is, not just a way of deciding who qualifies for the championship tour but as a series in its own right, with fans tuning into each comp, following the rankings, and feeling invested in it the way they do for the CT. “That was the original goal for the WQS back in the day, yet it was never realised. Second-tier and lower comps were only of interest to competitors and their immediate family.” Well, not any more. Maybe. 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 May, 2022

New sensation Nolan Rapoza.

Callum Robson on his way to winning the Snapper Challenger opener. As Stu pointed out, Snapper Rocks is one of the best quality venues of the eight-event series. It finishes at Haleiwa with France and Portugal offering some autumn potential along the way, but we still have to struggle through Rio, Huntington and this week in Manly to get there. Not that Manly can’t produce quality surf. I’ve seen good events there over the years, going back to Surfabout ’78, when North Steyne looked like a sand bottom Pipeline, but I’ve also seen Kelly Slater getting bundled out of a QS by a couple of anonymous Brazilian kids in complete rubbish a couple of years ago. Fickle beach breaks could be the Achilles heel of the Challenger Series, but you’d have to say it’s off to a very good start. I’m sure by now interested readers will

know who the stars were, but a couple of observations. The women’s final was a great battle between next-gen superstars in California’s Caitlin Simmers and NSW’s Molly Picklum. Fighting a vicious sweep all heat long, they traded wave for wave down to the buzzer and it could have gone either way. They are the future of women’s surfing, and the interesting back story is that Pickles won her spot on tour this year courtesy of Caity, whose family decided to knock back 2022 qualification for the teenager. Now, following Molly’s failure to make the mid-season cut, they’re both battling it out on the Challenger tour for 2023 qualification, which seems a mere technicality. In the men’s, Callum Robson from Evans Head continued his charge into the record

Smooth Sheldon Simps in control. books with a convincing win over Sheldon Simkus, who also has a great shot at qualification this series. But Californian semi-finalist Nolan Rapoza caught my eye. This guy combines the backhand power and style of an Occy with the general wackiness of longboarder Jared Mell, whom he resembles just a little. What an entertainer! FOOTNOTE: The 2022 Australian National Titles calendar gets underway at Bells Beach next weekend when the Australian Indigenous Surfing Titles returns to Wadawurrung Country. Noosa’s Kaiden and Landen Smales missed out on their debut in the Indigenous Titles last year when Covid shutdowns got in the way, but I’m sure the lads will be giving it their best shot in the chilly Vic waters this time.

Four two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car fully-furnished apartments at 38 Grant St, Noosa Heads, will go to auction at 12pm on Saturday, May 28. 278991 Step inside and be impressed by the vaulted ceilings, some soaring through the void to the upper level, and the banks of glass panes and louvres which show off the spacious living, dining and leisure spaces. An alfresco entertaining area on the north side enjoys a backdrop of colourful heliconias, comfortable bench seating and a custom cast concrete centrepiece with an eco-oil fire pit and in-laid beverage chill. Banks of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open seamlessly on the eastern side to the 12.5-metre aquamarine pool, day bed and sun terrace. “It’s a really good house,’’ Jill Goode said. “Discerning people understand the quality of the home, the thought that’s gone into it - that’s very much appreciated.’’ On the south-side, backed by the nature reserve, the main alfresco space features a monumental custom-cast concrete table. The gallery-inspired kitchen with black granite bench tops has the full complement of Gaggenau appliances including an induction/gas cooktop. Upstairs, the mezzanine level has beautiful blackbutt floors. The sumptuous main bedroom suite evokes a feeling of calm and being amongst the treetops. Along the hallway with two dedicated study alcoves overlooking the ground floor,

are two queen-size bedrooms and a familysize bathroom. FRIDAY THE 13TH It was Friday the 13th, so Kess Prior of Hinternoosa should have been expecting a wild ride at 655 Cooroy-Belli Creek Rd, Black Mountain. The weather was wild and wet yet eight registered bidders were ready and waiting for the auction of the two-bedroom, onebathroom house with pool. Situated on 2.25ha and with a Christmas tree plantation begging to be revitalised, the property had attracted wide interest at open homes and on the internet. Held inside rather than on the pool deck due to the weather, the auction saw four bidders on the phone - an ex-pat returning home from Switzerland, from the ACT and Brisbane. An opening bid of $1.35m knocked some players out but the overseas phone line remained open and a Noosa couple stayed strong until near the close. It ended up being a battle between the Swiss operative and a former Byron Bay party who picked up the keys for $1.5m. CATCHING THE WAVE There are said to be nine properties available on the dry side of Noosa Waters

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 8 Wave Ave, Noosaville, goes to auction at 1pm on Saturday, May 28. 279916 ... and this is one of them. Naturally Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate has been getting good numbers through 8 Wave Ave. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool is set for auction at 1pm on Saturday, May 28. Proximity to Noosa River, the brandnew pool and the renovation have been attractions so far. “We had 15 groups through the first open for inspection,’’ Lauren said. “The repeat comments have been that it has such a nice, homely feel. “It presents like new but there’s still room to personalise it.’’ The family home has high ceilings, openplan lounge, living and dining spaces, then a wide terrace and a pavilion by the heated pool. The property will be open again Saturday 10-10.30am, then have a dusk showing on Friday, May 27, from 5-5.30pm. Lauren has just listed a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment at 13/86 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, at $1.78m. On the mid level of Noosa Shores, with views up the river, it is the only apartment with direct river frontage and water views on Noosa Pde for less than $2m, Lauren said.

UNDERSTANDING THE VALUES Apartments in Noosa Heads are just as likely to attract interest from local investors and those with property holdings within the vicinity as they are from interstate buyers. Sharon McLure of the McLure Group has been finding this, especially with recent auctions. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom, onecar apartment 105 in Noosa Blue at 16 Noosa Dve, sold prior in conjunction with colleague Brooke Hade. The buyer already held an investment within the resort. On Friday, the single-bedroom, bathroom and car apartment 515 in Sebel Resort at 32 Hastings St, was put to the market and while being passed in at auction, is being negotiated. Listed at $995,000, the apartment had very good exposure and response throughout the campaign, Sharon said. Most interest was from within resort, adding to their portfolio. “There is nothing in one-bedroom apartments in Hastings St quite like for value,’’ Sharon said. “The eventual buyer will benefit once the upgrades to the resort are finished. “We’re finding interstate buyers as well as locals are looking to add to their portfolio, they are ones who understand the complex.’’ On Saturday, May 28, Sharon and Brooke will be taking four two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments at 38 Grant St, Noosa Heads, to the market. The fully-furnished apartments on 642sq m are set to go under the hammer at midday and are attracting strong local interest. “It’s hot,’’ Sharon said. “It’s all local interest, some within close proximity as well as Sunshine Beach and Noosaville. “Interestingly, they are looking not so much from a development point of view but as a solid investment - one with consistent returns in the current market. “Permanent rentals are still receiving high revenue due to the shortage of properties available in Noosa.’’ ROMANTIC APPEAL OF A QUEENSLANDER Sandy Roulston and Kate Mayne have been offering personalised service for 35 years in the Noosa hinterland.

Noosa Hinterland Real Estate and the response has been overwhelming, Kate said. “It’s been a matter of keeping up with the level of inquiry. “We saw a niche in the market, and offer the best service.’’ The boutique agency is based in Pomona and Cooran, serving an area from Eumundi and Doonan to Gympie and the Mary Valley. They are getting an excellent response to the historic Queenslander with additional cabin on 3701sq m at 8 Lenske Lane, Cooran, that is on the market by Openn Negotiation. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two-car accommodation, the house is circa 1883 and has been renovated true to style over time. “The property is well known in the area,’’ Kate said, “and those who missed out last time, are among those popping their heads up. “It has the romance, the charm and the history … and all the things people relate to with Queenslanders such as timber floors, VJ walls and high ceilings. “There is a really pleasant energy about it.’’ Under the Openn Negotiation marketing offers start on the day of the property launch and can be watched on-line or with the agents. The nominated closing date is June 1 but the could sell earlier, depending on registrations and offers under this format. This property is set amid lush gardens and close to the centre of Cooran. There are wrap around verandahs to the front and to the rear, plus a large sunroom

that features a wood-fired heater. The home’s under croft is features under-cover parking and storage for garden tools. A studio cabin is suitable for a bedroom or home office, and has a modern bathroom plus a large undercover verandah and single carport. There is a large shed separate from the main home and studio that offers split level design has high ceilings.

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. Because the prevailing weather was from the south east, no decking was to be incorporated to the south.

STELLAR PALM SPRINGS-INSPIRED LIVING THERE’S much to love about this exceptional location and on-trend residence so close to the shimmering white sand and surf breaks of Sunrise Beach. Admire colourful Heliconias along the entry way, the contemporary façade and charming features such as breeze blocks. Step inside. The serenity is palpable, yet it immediately cultivates a sunny state of mind, with each generous space having a super-chic overlay of super chic ‘Palm Springs’ style of mid-century modernism. It’s all about being spoilt for choice when it comes to living spaces and the connectivity between indoors and out. Vying for attention off the open plan living/ dining area with concrete-look flooring, is a sun-drenched pool with Moroccan tiles in shades of bright blue, turquoise and white. There’s underwater seating, suggesting cooling cocktails, alternatively lounging on a day bed on the terrace, which is fringed by lush gardens on the north and eastern sides. Accessed by ‘disappearing’ bi-folds on the north-side is another perfect-forentertaining terrace. It is covered, has a ‘green’ wall of potted plants, and the garden at the rear has citrus trees, raised vegetable garden beds and fire pit, for the colder evenings. Oversize and superior quality are at play in the central hub of the residence, the galley-style kitchen, with its timber-topped island/breakfast bar, also long mochahued stone-topped preparation bench. Whizz-bang appliances include a 4-burner gas cooktop, and wine aficionados will be delighted with the climate-controlled 2,000 bottle wine cellar – a genius design repurposing a shipping container. The residence boasts two king master suites. Downstairs it has an ensuite and walk-in robe, while also on the southside are two queen-size bedrooms with built-in robes/desk plus a bathroom with bathtub. Adding to the notion of multiple spaces for all seasons and reasons is the adjoining multi-purpose office or perhaps a guest living area. It has a separate entrance and undercover terrace, feature wall of thin corrugated pin timber complementing black steel balustrading in the open-plan space, a kitchenette with the latest Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a plumbed-in fridge, also a hideaway laundry. Upstairs is the piece de resistance, the king-of-kings master suite. With its gas-lift window opening to an undercover terrace so expansive Hinterland views and magical sunsets over Mt Cooroy can be admired from bed, the free-standing bathtub or the shower, perhaps it really is a retreat. “This superb property is an absolute tribute to its Sunrise Beach location,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate

agent Tiffany Wilson who is taking it to auction on Saturday 4 June 2022. “It is an easy 700m walk to the beach access, popular surf breaks, dog-free and dogfriendly areas of Sunrise Beach, as well as Noosa National Park and Sunrise Beach Chalet Cafe, or take a bike ride along meandering streets which run parallel to the coastal contours.” Facts and Features: Land Size: 664m² House Size: 317m² Pool: 3m x 5.4m north & east-facing w Moroccan tiles & seating; sun terrace w day bed About: Versatile floor plan - optional self contained living; concrete-look floor tiles; modern black steel staircase 2 king master suites – upstairs retreatstyle w walnut-toned floors, high ceiling,

ON THE COVER

TALLOW STAGE TWO RELEASE SETS MARKET ABUZZ THE recent stage one release of Tallow Residences highlights just how sought-after apartments in Noosa’s dress-circle Settler’s Cove precinct have become. Seven of the eight high-end luxury apartments were snapped up within weeks of release, and the buzz of interest continues still. The good news for potential buyers is that the stage two release of these home-sized, owner-occupier apartments is coming soon. “We were bowled over by the immense interest in Tallow stage one,” says Development Manager, Shannon Gillard. “That’s why we recommend potential buyers register their interest in stage two now,” he says. So what’s driving the swell of interest in this particular development? For starters, it’s the popularity of the Settler’s Cove precinct in itself. Centrally located yet secluded, and bounded by the Noosa River and native bush reserve, it has become one of Noosa’s most prestige addresses. And then there’s the simple rarity of the release. These 22 off-the-plan apartments in the Tallow Residences are the absolute final to be built in the precinct. Given the success of neighbouring developments,

Elandra, Riverlight, Iluka, Emerald, Lumina and L2, it’s a very rare opportunity indeed to buy off-the-plan in this landmark Noosa property success story. Beyond that is the design of the apartments themselves that draws on the exceptional design ethos and construction expertise gained from earlier developments in the precinct. Each of these wonderfully spacious home-sized apartments boasts over 200 sqm of internal living area plus generous outdoor balcony spaces. The open-plan living areas combined with the elevated views across the surrounding conservation bushland and broader hinterland are designed to provide an intimate connection with the surrounding landscape and make the most of the beautiful Noosa weather. Construction on the final 22 Tallow Apartments is due to begin later this year with completion expected in early 2024. You can find out more about the apartment layouts and features and how to register your interest by visiting TallowResidences. com.au. ●

we see prices start to fall. Do you want to wait until that happens, or would you like to reap the rewards of the market now? Missed opportunities are the ones that sting the most.

HOME FOCUS

IMAGINE THE LIFESTYLE, IT’S ALL HERE WALKING back from my morning swim at glorious Sunshine Beach through quiet, leafy, “Wildflower” Street, I chance upon a “For Sale” sign on a charming, elevated, 506m² Duplex block, which offered the potential of ocean views and a blank canvas for a whole new experience by the sea. My first thought was for the fortunate purchaser who could custom design the most stunning lifestyle home or Duplex and really make a statement in this exclusive beach enclave. With direct beach access only a 300m stroll from this address (via Pilchers Gap), and the Sunshine Beach eateries, village and surf club within 650m, my mind began to daydream over the Sunshine BeachSunrise Beach stretch as an area of natural beauty with excellent beach fishing, surf breaks and lifeguard patrolled beach areas. Whether land-banking for future capital gain or looking to build an exceptional residence to call ‘home’ in arguably one of the Coast’s finest locations my overwhelming feeling was that this was an outstanding opportunity. Sunshine Beach amenities including boutique dining, surf club, local schools,

aquatic centre, and more are quickly and easily accessed; and Noosa’s major amenities are just up the road… you will want for nothing.

· Duplex site, Medium Density zoned, Land · 300m leisurely walk to Beach access size 506sqm · 650m walk to Sunshine Beach village, eateries and surf club. · Coveted, leafy pocket, Potential Ocean views · Walking trails through park to Noosa ●

“MANGO LANDING” ON NORTH SHORE ABSOLUTE riverfront on the glorious Noosa North Shore. “Mango Landing” has been the treasured home of its owners for 31 years. The views of the Noosa River and Estuary all the way to Mt Tinbeerwah from the living areas and across the home’s wide decks are simply magical. It’s time for you to relax and enjoy the calming ambience. After the “busyness” of city life, the owners fell under the spell of this pristine and protected nature habitat and claimed the easy going lifestyle on offer. Reluctantly, it’s time for them to leave. The well maintained home sits on a huge 991m2. Separate living areas boast high, raked ceilings for cooling airflow. With 2 generous double guest bedrooms and a main bathroom, plus the master with ensuite, there’s plenty of room for everyone. The self-contained flat is ideal for guests and family surplus. The large workshop is a perfect space for the hobbyist. A breezeway can accommodate a pool table or other entertainment or sporting equipment.

And if you need to escape to read a book or dream, you can choose a private spot from one of the decks or verandahs – or cast a line from the jetty and throw your catch straight on to the barbie. The jetty is yours, there’s a covered slipway, 3 bay car parking, water tanks and solar panels. Just a tinnie ride to Noosa Marina and Tewantin Village for all the amenities –

shops, cafes, clubs, medical. Five minutes by boat and you’re at Gympie Terrace, 5 minutes more and you’ve arrived at Hastings Street.
