Dogs change their lives By Margie Maccoll

It’s four years since PTSD assistance dog Buddy became a companion for Lawrence (Laurie) Cattanach and gave him back his life. From his time as an army infantry man, Laurie was left with nerve damage down his back and legs and in constant pain. “I was always angry. I was always in pain. Buddy has learnt to smell my pain. He stops me from overdoing it, from becoming more angry,” Laurie said. While being treated for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the Cooinda mental health clinic Laurie met someone else with an assistance dog and saw the benefits. His psychologist suggested it might also help him, so when he met PTSD Dogs Australia staff at the Eumundi Markets he started talking to them about it, then volunteering with them. “Buddy became available. We clicked straight away. He’s barely left my side since,” Laurie said. “I’ve got five girls. I lost love from my kids because I was angry. They wouldn’t give me a hug. Buddy always gives me affection even when I’m angry.” Buddy provides both physical and emotional assistance to Laurie. Laurie becomes overwhelmed in crowded places but Buddy senses his need for support and calms him by leaning his body into him, pushing against him and resting his front legs over Laurie’s knees.

Oyster milestone 12497020-DL22-21

The Nature Conservancy Australia (TNC) is set to begin the restoration of oyster ecosystems at Tewantin, Goat Island and lower Weyba Creek in the Noosa River lower estuary. TNC’s managing director Alison Rowe said the start of the Noosa oyster ecosystem restoration project was the result of months of collaboration with TNC’s partners including Noosa Council and the Noosa community. “It is an exciting milestone for the project and the health of the Noosa estuary. “We are delighted to work with members of the Noosa community on restoring shellfish ecosystems. We thank our partners, in particular The Thomas Foundation, for their support from the very early stages of the project,” Ms Rowe said.

The restored oyster ecosystem is expected to add habitat complexity to the river and provide a boost for the local estuarine environment as well as create employment, tourism and recreational opportunities. Noosa is one of 13 sites identified for shellfish reef restoration under the Australian Government-funded Reef Builder initiative. A partnership between the Australian Government and TNC Australia, Reef Builder aims at bringing shellfish reefs back from the brink of extinction and support the economic recovery of communities impacted by bushfires and Covid-19. Noosa Council Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said oyster reef restoration was a responsible, science-backed investment in the Noosa River.

“This partnership is a great opportunity to improve the health of this much-loved natural asset and this project puts Noosa at the forefront of oyster reef restoration in Queensland,” he said. “We are starting to lay the reef foundation, which is made from locally-sourced igneous rock. This process will take several weeks,” TNC’s Oceans manager Craig Bohm said. “The reef base will then be seeded in spring with juvenile rock oysters that have settled onto recycled oyster shells, raised in Queensland Government’s Aquaculture Facility on Bribie Island.“ The Noosa Parks Association (NPA) provided the initial impetus for oyster reef restoration in the Noosa estuary.

NPA’s Michael Gloster said improving the health of the river through the restoration of oyster ecosystems had been a long-time ambition. “It’s great to see restoration of the ecosystems underway in our river. Oysters are excellent water filterers, with one oyster filtering up to 100 litres of water a day. This project is an important step forward in improving the health of our Noosa River Estuary.” The Noosa Oyster Ecosystem Restoration Project is a partnership between TNC Australia, the Noosa Shire Council, the Australian Government, The Thomas Foundation and the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS).

Sprint to win The best way to experience the excitement and beauty of the Historic Leyburn Sprints is being there. The round-the-houses Sprints on Queensland’s southern Darling Downs will be staged on 20-21 August, celebrating the 26th running since its founding in 1996 and 72 years since the little bush town hosted the 1949 Australian Grand Prix.

With more than 200 cars of all types and vintages competing one at a time against the clock on a 1km closed street course around the township, the noise and smell encapsulates the excitement.

Noosa Alive is done and dusted for another year but its 20th anniversary this year was a very special event. The events were first rate, the weather was fabulous and being the first festival since the constraints of Covid lifted added another element of enjoyment. So, thank you to all those involved for making it great. Thank you also this Rural Fire Service week to the rural fire service. It’s just short of three years since the bushfires ripped through the region, destroying much native habitat and a few houses across the shire. At the time, RFS volunteers worked alongside other emergency officers from QFES and QPS, and no lives were lost. Since then they have been busy managing the area with controlled burns to reduce the risks of a repeat of the situation. It may be of interest to the Brisbane commuters to know that the state government is this week surveying the area between Beerwah and Maroochydore for the extension of a long-awaited rail link to the Sunshine Coast coastal area. It’s still a jump from Noosa but that would make a huge difference to travel to the city as well as ease the traffic woes and crashes on the Bruce Highway. It’s aimed at Olympic Games travel. Ten years is nothing compared to the Bruce Highway widening which never seems to end.

Bosch & Rockit was filmed at iconic Byron Bay.

NEWS

Director, writer and producer Tyler Atkins says this was Luke Hemsworth’s best role on film.

Local director’s film debut By Abbey Cannan A former Sunrise Beach resident turned awardwinning filmmaker will celebrate the release of his debut feature film next week and bring his star-studded cast to the Sunshine Coast. Bosch & Rockit will be in cinemas from 18 August, with a cast of home-grown talent including Luke Hemsworth, Rasmus King, Isabel Lucas, Leeanna Walsman, and Savannah La Rain. The film is already receiving rave reviews from industry professionals, and now the community has a chance to see a special Q & A screening at BCC Maroochydore on Wednesday 10 August with the stars. “I’m really fortunate that our film is playing in theatres and getting a theatrical release,“ director, writer and producer Tyler Atkins said. “We’re an independent film. I just raised the money and made it myself without really asking for permission. So it’s my dream for my first feature to play in theatres.“ Filmed at iconic Byron Bay, against the canvas of Australia’s famous east coast surf beaches and rainforests, Bosch & Rockit is a raw and unapologetic exploration of unconscious parenting and the deeper themes of love, forgiveness, and relationships. “I love films that are personal to the filmmakers and they come from somewhere,“ Tyler said. “I’m not a fan of films that are made just to make money.“ Studying acting for more than a decade, Tyler started transitioning to work behind the camera about five years ago. “This story is based on my life and it’s true the whole way through,“ he said. “I obviously had to change things and compress it all into an hour and a half movie, which is quite challenging.“ He spent five years writing the script while working through his childhood trauma. “I got really sick with kidney disease in my early 20s and it was the first time I had to face myself,“ Tyler said.

Rasmus King, who plays Rockit, had never acted before his leading role in the film.

Bosch and Rockit will be showing in cinemas from 18 August. “I started travelling through India and meditating and doing yoga, and I’ve been sober for close to nine years now. “So I started getting my life together and the theme of the repercussions of drugs and alcohol in families kept coming up. “What I was really trying to articulate in this film was mirrored to my journey, and that was instead of being a victim through adversity, you really can rise from it and grow. “Without my parents and without the things that I went through, I never could have become who I am. “I believe crisis is the biggest opportunity

for change. Once you can change that perspective, it’s really healing to forgive people. It took me a long time.“ Tyler shot the emotional film throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, being one of the first productions to successfully shoot through the worldwide pandemic. “Spending all those years in acting class allowed me to seek and see those emotional truths in my actors,“ he said. “I worked with some of the best actors in the business. Rasmus King, who plays Rockit, had never acted before and it was quite challenging, but I had faith in him. When you see

his performance, it’s incredible.“ “Luke Hemsworth, this is his best role by far. To have a leading man who can be a tough guy but can also go into those vulnerable parts is really hard to find. It’s a very powerful role.“ Tyler has surfed and lived around the Australian beach culture since he was born, including time spent living locally in Sunrise Beach. “When this went down, we moved to Sunrise Beach with my mother when I was 12 or 13,“ he said. “I spent my whole life in the ocean, that was my outlet. One of the main characters in Bosch & Rockit is the ocean and that’s where he goes when he’s in a bad place. The ocean is my mother always and forever.“ Bosch and Rockit will be showing in cinemas from 18 August, with a special Q & A screening at BCC Maroochydore on Wednesday 10 August at 6pm. Rasmus, Tyler and Savannah will be at the screening, with Lincoln Lewis hosting.

Barnacles returns to sea By Abbey Cannan A giant green sea turtle was released at Noosa Main Beach on Friday after being treated for a suspected soft shell disease at Australia Zoo. A team of volunteers from Wildlife Noosa carried the 150kg green sea turtle named Barnacles to the water, with excited beach-goers swarming to catch a glimpse of the 70-year-old beauty. Wildlife Noosa volunteer Jarrah Small said it was a memorable moment. “It’s not very often that you see an 150kg turtle released at Noosa Main Beach,“ Jarrah said. “It’s an amazing experience. She’s a massive old girl.“ Jarrah grew up surrounded by the ocean, parks and wildlife, and assists on wildlife rescues with her mum Mel. “The team at Wildlife Noosa went out and rescued the two turtles and brought both of them to Australia Zoo where they were treated and cared for by the amazing veterinary team,“ she said. Wildlife Noosa chief rescue officer and founder Will Watson said Barnacles was rescued from Rainbow Beach with another turtle named Clay. “They had a shell disease, so they were treated with antibiotics,“ Will said. Will began rescuing wildlife around Noosa several years ago when he returned home to help his ageing parents after a serious car accident 12 years ago ended his career in land engineering. Having always worked on the land and with a love for animals, Will began rescuing sick and injured wildlife and now rescues about 600 animals a year and growing. “We have about 20 volunteers at the moment,“ Will said.

Beach-goers swarmed to catch a glimpse of the 70-year-old beauty. Wildlife Noosa volunteers carry the 150kg turtle across the sand on Noosa Main Beach. “With turtles, since we’re on the topic, please pick up your plastic and rubbish. “There’s so many turtles with floating syndrome where they can’t dive. We’ve just got to pull plastic out of our oceans.“ Wildlife Noosa Ltd is a not-for-profit charity which undertakes rescues and the immediate care of all animals, (including domestic pets and livestock), that are ill, injured or at risk of injury in the greater Noosa region. Get in touch via phone on 0419 046 999 for all rescues.

The giant green sea turtle was released at Noosa Main Beach on Friday.

Will Watson and Jarrah Small from Wildlife Noosa get ready to carry Barnacles to the water.

Campaign launched to curb koala vehicle strikes The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation is launching a new driver awareness campaign this month to reduce the impacts to koalas on our roads this breeding season. Statistics released from Wildcare Australia’s Noosa rescue team show that the Noosa Shire accounts for 49 per cent of koala strikes on roads in the Sunshine Coast to Gympie regions. Wildcare Australia rescuer Rachel Lyons said the peak time for road strikes occured during koala breeding season between July and December each year. “During this time koalas are searching for a mate, juveniles are dispersing from their mothers and others are out establishing their own home range,” Ms Lyons said. “Sadly, only around 20 per cent of koalas hit by vehicles survive due to the extent of their injuries.” Significant hot spots include McKinnon Drive and Cooroy-Noosa Road. The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation

has developed the campaign in collaboration with Noosa Council, Wildcare Australia, Queensland Koala Crusaders and Tourism Noosa. Dr Jan Green, a director of the NBRF board, said the Noosa Biosphere Reserve was an important habitat for the endangered species and koalas could be about anywhere, anytime. “This breeding season, koalas are on the move, so we’re asking the community to be aware and drive with care,“ she said. “Look out for our road signage, keep an eye on social media or visit the noosabiosphere.org.au website for more information.” Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said Council was committed to working with the community to ensure that koalas remain an essential component of Noosa’s biodiversity. “They are a national icon and we are proud to support any worthwhile initiative that assists in the safe movement of koalas and further protects the population in

Noosa,” she said. Queensland Koala Crusaders ambassador, Meghan Halverson said their organisation has been pursuing strategies to mitigate vehicle strikes for the past 10 years. “We’re grateful to be part of this wonderful initiative and look forward to seeing measurable, positive outcomes,” she said. Tourism Noosa’s Head of Sustainability Juanita Terry-Bloomfield commented on the campaign, “This is a great initiative, and we applaud the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation for putting the spotlight on helping our endangered species. We look forward to sharing this message with our members and visitors.“ Dr Green said the campaign had been made possible thanks to funds raised at last year’s Noosa Biosphere Koala Gala, Sandy Bolton MP Seeds for Change Funding Program grant and the generous support of Queensland Koala Crusaders and Noosa Council.

Noosa Alive wrapped up By Margie Maccoll As jazz and blues played in the tent on Noosa Main Beach last Sunday, artistic director Ian Mackellar reflected on the 10 days and more than 25 events of the Noosa Alive festival just before the final act concluded. “I think we’ve successfully celebrated our 20th anniversary in style,“ he said. “I think it’s been splendid. “We’ve been blessed with lovely weather. The general visitor had a glorious time and the standard of talent was world class. “I had to pinch myself sitting in The J. It was fantastic to witness the artists in the intimate setting. “The festival opened with James Morrison, closing with Paul Kelly. They were perfect book ends and everything in between was wonderful. “Moonlight Serenade Opera was beautiful. “The long lunch was blessed with perfect weather, the (street theatre) mask characters brought out the child within us. “The little Beanies were fun. “Seaside Vibes was a great success. The talent in Noosa Stars Alive was magnificent.“ So warmly embraced was the inaugural Noosa Stars Alive it will become a feature event in Noosa Alive 2023, Mr Mackellar said. To wrap up with six hours of jazz and blues was a lovely way to finish, he said.

Lives changed by dogs

Two train carriages caught fire at the Mary Valley Rattler on Wednesday of last week. Picture: SHANE ZAHNER

Rattler fire suspicious By Donna Jones Two timber train carriages were all but destroyed in a fire which police are currently treating as suspicious at the historic Gympie Railway Station last week. The fire broke out on two carriages that were not operational just after 5pm last Wednesday at the Mary Valley Rattler compound and took Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) personnel and members of the Rattler’s emergency crew a couple of hours to contain, and stop from spreading to other nearby carriages. According to a QFES spokesman, the fire covered an area approximately 20 metres wide

with flames reaching up to two metres high at the height of the blaze. The inferno also started a grass fire that was one and a half metres wide. The spokesman said four fire trucks (appliances) attended the scene along with personnel from Queensland Ambulance and Police Services, Queensland Rail and Energex. Fire investigators said they were treating the fire as suspicious “until determined otherwise” and that investigations were continuing. It is reported that a spokeswoman for the Rattler has described the loss of the carriages as “devastating” and that with time and funding they could have been restored prior to the fire.

From page 1 “He distracts me,” he said. Buddy’s presence against his legs also provides stability to help his balance. Because of his nerve damage Laurie wasn’t able to get up from low seats or public toilets, further increasing his anxiety about going out. But now Buddy has learnt to sit in front so Laurie can lever off him to push himself up. “I don’t have to worry about going to the toilet,” he said. Buddy is one of 20 assistance dogs Noosa-based PTSD Dogs Australia have specially trained for returned servicemen and firstresponders suffering from PTSD since the

organisation began about four years ago. Charity founder Angie Weeks said the demand for the dogs was there from day one and was only increasing. She said three new handlers would soon be starting training with another 10 set to begin next year. The dogs, many of them rescue dogs, are trained to help people do everyday tasks and activities so they become more independent. The training for each assistance dog is unique and is tailored to suit the needs of the handler. PTSD Dogs Australia is always in need of donations and foster families.

Vandals hit Muster

First to rope-off

By Donna Jones Spray painted obscenities on the main stage, smashed windscreens on the vintage Muster bus and vandalism to one of the stall vendor’s tents is what Craig Campbell, site manager for the 2022 Gympie Music Muster encountered just hours before the first rope off at the Amamoor Creek State Forest site on Saturday 30 July. “It’s pretty devastating,“ he said. “The first day of rope-off and this is what we have to deal with.“ Mr Campbell said people had come to the site the night before and “refused to leave a restricted site“. “Before I could remove them, they’ve broken into the Muster site and painted on one of the stall vendor’s tents. They got into one of my vehicles and stole tools. They’ve painted obscenities on the stage. They’ve tried to kick windows in. “They’ve also smashed windows in on our Muster bus - the windscreen,“ he said. The Muster Bus was, admittedly a rusty old relic, but it has been a part of the Muster for 40 years - and as such, Mr Campbell said it was irreplaceable and irreparable. “It’s the old bus that was originally used for taking the campers to the festival site and back and has now been on display - it’s our display bus,“ he said. “It’s really sad.“ “I caught the culprit - took him back to where he was camped and I asked them all to leave - which they did -but now we have to deal with the consequences,“ he said. Despite this small hiccup, Mr Campbell is confident the 2022 Muster is going to be bigger and better and won’t set back the Muster too much. “Definitely not - the festival is in full swing now - we’re geared up to have an absolutely awesome year,“ he said.

“We’ll put it behind us now and move on and get all these campers in and roped off and they’ll all start to enjoy what they love doing -

they’re meeting their mates and there’s friendship and country music, which is what we are all here for.”

With more than 800 camping passes presold for the 2022 Gympie Music Muster, there was plenty of action at the Amamoor Creek State Forest with the first rope off. Although the festival, now running for the 40th time, is still a whole month away, the annual rope off ritual brings pilgrims from across the country and from our own backyards to stake out their little patch of paradise ahead of the region’s biggest music festival. Some spent a cool night in their car in anticipation of the 7am start, but others had been camping out in the day area for up to a week, to ensure they were first in the queue to get their favourite ’possie’. Craig Campbell, the Muster site manager was very happy with the way the 2022 program is shaping up. “The people that have turned up for the pre-rope off is just unbelievable these Muster people are so dedicated and amazing - they’re just great people,“ he said. “It’s awesome, I mean, to see a kilometre of cars lined up a month out from a festival. “It just doesn’t happen anywhere else in Australia - probably even not the world,“ he said. “We were very lucky and blessed to have this beautiful scenery and to have this festival here. “Unfortunately Covid has put a stop to it for a couple of years, but now we’re back bigger and better,“ Mr Campbell said.

Bribie’s spit breakthrough By Margie Maccoll As Noosa residents keep watch on Noosa Spit amid concerns of waves breaking across the sand dunes, at last Friday’s Noosa Park’s Association environment forum botanist Sue Aspland spoke about the extraordinary channel carved through Bribie Island over a 12-hour period on 2 January during the remnants of Cyclone Seth. Sue told guests records dating back to the 1940s had indicated considerable movement on the sand island. In 1958, records showed the island had migrated significantly southward and the Pumicestone Passage entrance had moved during 1942-61, while a previous breakthrough had occurred during twin cyclones in 1954. Sue said a research project undertaken in 2000 identified the loss of 144,000 cubic metres of sand a year on the island with an estimated 30,000 cubic metres disappearing due to longshore drift. The 2000 report predicted that due to the loss of sand, a breakthrough could occur in 20 years, she said. Sue said while working with Sunshine Coast Council in 2006 storm surge overtopping led to the formation of a Bribie Island breakthrough taskforce and she assisted in setting up monitoring points. “Council was monitoring four areas on the island where there could be a breakthrough,“ she said. On 2 January 2022 waves carved a channel through Bribie Island and surged into Pumicestone Passage near Golden Beach. A resident of Golden Beach, Sue said on hearing the loud roar of the sea all night she knew the breakthrough had occurred and rushed to the site in the morning, recording events from 8.27am. “I stood for one hour and could not believe what I was seeing,“ she said.

On 3 January at 8.49am a breakthrough occurs and the land and vegetation disappear.

On January 2, 2022 at 6.45am the site of the wash over and vegetation remain intact. “2.5m of spit was eroding every five minutes. It was so rapid. By 9am a solid patch of vegetation had gone. There was no stopping it.“ When news spread of the event, people in jet skis and boats came to see what was happening. “The entrance was 50m wide after 12 hours.“ In the past six months it has widened to an estimated 550 metres, creating a north and south Bribie Island.

Sue said debate continued over whether the changes to the island were nature or humaninduced. Since the 1960s hypotheticals for nature induced changes have noted the erosion of beaches and dunes, loss of vegetation, the increased southward movement of the island and the movement of Pumicestone passage boating channel, she said. Potential human-induced actions have included increased shipping and resultant wake of large propellers, 20 years of dredging

and the impact of urbanisation including increased tourist and recreational use. Sue said sand stores had been removed to build structures on the Port of Brisbane and airport runway and the conversion of mangroves to canals and stormwater runoff had diverted much water that would have seeped into the ground but not flowed through pipes to the sea. The changes have caused a loss of habitat, loss of cultural heritage sites as well as navigation changes and residential impacts. She said the Caloundra Coast Guard could no longer gain access from north to south of Pumicestone Passage and Pelican Waters moorings cannot easily access the ocean. In addition some areas of Pelican Waters have experienced flooding which has not previously occurred. Sue said with records dating back only about 100 years it was unknown whether such an occurrence was a cyclical event. Research is about to commence on identifying all possible causes of the breakthrough and subsequent impacts on Pumicestone Passage, the adjoining mainland and habitat-dependent native species.

Noosa Community in focus in new grant round

SCARS volunteer Maureen Camp and president Penny Brischke.

Refuge load By Margie Maccoll Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge Society (SCARS) has been inundated with surrendered dogs and cats with many falling victim to their owners’ struggles to pay bills and access affordable and pet friendly accommodation. SCARS president Penny Brischke said the society, the largest refuge on the Sunshine Coast, had more than 150 animals in care across their shelter and in their foster care program. “It’s hard times in rescue land,“ she said. Penny said the society generally rehomed 1000 animals a year but this year the number of surrenders had increased significantly and the adult dogs, particularly big dogs and cats are not being adopted. She said it was easy to find homes for kittens and small dogs but not larger dogs. At present the refuge, which has a no-euthanise policy, has two senior cats aged 14 and 15 years and their longest resident dog, Gemima, has been in care for more than 390 days.

The refuge hopes when legislation on rental agreements comes into place on 1 October it will reduce the number of surrenders coming to the shelter. From 1 October a tenant will still have to seek consent for a pet, but the lessor can no longer advertise properties with a no-pet rule and must give reasonable explanation, such as body corporate by-laws, inappropriate building size or security, for refusing a pet. SCARS is also working toward the construction of a new shelter to replace their 43-yearold premises. Penny said they had already raised about $100,000 toward the $700,000 build and were seeking donations of money as well as offers from tradesman and suppliers. To raise money SCARS is hosting a Paws for a Cause long lunch fundraiser on 6 August from 12-4pm at BWMCA Memorial Hall, 1 Main Street, Buderim. Tickets are $150pp. For more information or tickets visit sippycreek.com.au

Noosa Council is calling for applications for the next round of Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) and Community Project Grants. Community Grants are provided to help local community groups, organisations and clubs deliver a range of community projects and events. “The grants help organisations and individuals to meet community needs, build community skills, resilience and maintain community infrastructure,” community grants officer Meagan Monk said. Ms Monk said individuals and local organisations should consider applying for a grant because the funding could often go a long way toward helping them achieve their goals. “Local community groups now have the chance to give their projects a real boost and to bring their ideas together,” she said. Community projects may include, but are not restricted to, events or festivals, programs and building, maintenance or infrastructure projects. As in previous years, Noosa Council is providing additional advice and support to applicants and Council encourages applicants to speak to a grants officer before submitting an application. “Our community development team is on hand to help community groups that may need advice about completing the application process,” Ms Monk said. RADF grants are open to artists, organisations and businesses to help them deliver arts focused projects. This round, the maximum grant amount for a RADF grant has increased to $7500. Council will also be offering online RADF information sessions.

It’s a dog’s life on show By Margie Maccoll The many facets of a dog’s life and the enthusiasm Noosa residents have for their best friends was highlighted last Saturday when pet expo, A Dog’s Life, descended on Gympie Terrace. There were 55 stalls showcasing various dog services, retail items and dog activities on show. Among them was Story Dogs, a program now running across 25 Sunshine Coast schools and four Noosa schools - Tewantin State, St Thomas More, Steiner and Sunshine Beach State schools. Spokeswoman Sabine Tedesco said the program has seen amazing results. “You try to have kids read to you and you seen them not wanting to read. With the program, kids rush to read with the dogs. You see their confidence increasing and their mood lift,“ she said. Sabine said the dogs also love it. When she puts on her Story Dogs vest, her dog knows it’s time for reading and can’t wait to get to school, she said. At another stall was Hear No Evil, an organisation that has been caring for deaf and blind dogs since it began in 2014. Spokeswoman Vicky Law said Hear No Evil had 18 dogs in care at present with the number of surrenders increasing as people don’t know how to deal with them. The organisation has no base but teaches people to communicate with their dogs and has a number of foster carers who are trained to communicate with the dogs using hand and touch signals, depending on their ability. “They’re no different to other dogs. It’s just the way you need to communicate with them,“ she said. Active Paws Rehabilitation and Fitness showed off some of the physical abilities of dogs with an agility and tricks’ display.

Rescue dog Jax performs some tricks.

Dogs galore at the pet expo. Established by Sonia Petrack and based in Coolum, Active Paws helps to get dogs, of all ages from geriatrics to elite athletes, in shape, improve their behaviour and improve their overall health through classes and programs.

The funny side of Covid Well, OK, there really isn’t one, not with Queensland’s daily infection rate nudging 5000 as I write. But if there’s anything at all darkly amusing about the fact that after two-and-a-half years of thinking I must be immune, I finally succumbed and brought my wife down with me, it’s no longer a big deal. The mere fact that I’m writing this while still in isolation and still feeling unwell is proof positive that no one gives a damn, least of all employers. Not in my line of work, anyway. No disrespect to the lovely people at the Star News Group, of course, some of whom have sent get well messages by email, and suggested various unlikely remedies that might keep the flow of words coming while I cough and splutter in a garret. All of which I appreciate, while remembering that I’m the one who chose to be his own boss for most of a long career, meaning the show must go on, more or less, no matter what. The broader fact of the matter is that in Queensland, while more of us are getting Covid, fewer of us are ending up in hospital, the wheels of industry are continuing to turn, and if we keep telling ourselves it’s just like a bad cold, all will be well. But in my case I feel a little ripped off because I spent more than a month suffering from cold and flu symptoms I couldn’t shake, and testing negative, over and over again. It seemed like every second day I would wake up feeling lousy and reach for the RAT beside the bed (as opposed to the rats that

live under the bed), stick the swizzle stick up my nostrils, twirl it around in the tube, then squeeze the drops into the test kit and wait for that second red line that never revealed itself. Fortunately, for some reason I’ve yet to figure – age, infirmity, good looks, nice manners, who knows – my pharmacist gifted me a jumbo pack of rapid antigen tests some time ago, so at least my long run of infuriating negatives weren’t costing me anything. And that’s another paradox of the pandemic. Where once a negative PCR was a get out of jail card, now a negative RAT is just delaying the inevitable. Bring it on, you say. Let’s get it over with. Although the more we learn about Covid, the less we know. There is no “over with it”, apparently, until the chief health officer in the sky says there is. We just keep taking more shots and keep telling ourselves that this is the new normal. So to get back to the slightly misleading title of this rant, I searched the web for a really funny Covid joke and failed miserably. I even went back to the toilet paper crisis in search of a giggle, but this was the best I could come up with: Ran out of toilet paper and started using lettuce leaves. Today was just the tip of the iceberg, tomorrow romaines to be seen. Then there was this truism I can vouch for through recent experience. The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house, and their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors. And finally, a slightly tasteless oldie but a goodie. Back in my day, you would cough to cover up a fart. Now, with Covid, you fart to cover up a cough.

Oliver JR! delights all The windy, wet weather of the past week was the perfect backdrop for the set of the cold dark streets of Old London Town, created for this year’s junior musical Oliver JR at Good Shepherd Lutheran College. Over 90 performers, aged between nine and 13, mesmerised the audience for four nights with song and dance while telling the wellknown story of Oliver JR!, the classic Broadway j version of Lionel Bart’s classic musical based on Charles Dickens’, Oliver Twist. Jim Tomkins and Kirsten Lee, junior musical directors, were thrilled at the result of months of lunchtime, after school and even school holiday rehearsals. “It all came together beautifully on the night,“ Mr Tomkins said. “With so many students involved we didn’t

have many opportunities to rehearse the entire show, so it’s always a little nerve-racking but they all did exceptionally well. The standing ovations told us the audience members were impressed too.“ “This production was a year in the making and the children just embraced the challenge,“ Ms Lee said. “They loved the sense of community that comes from being a part of a musical production. I think these students will cherish the memories for a long time, or at least until the next musical.“ While for many younger children it was their first experience of the wonderful world of Charles Dickens, they did enjoy watching mums and dads sing along to the crowd favourites such as Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, and Oom-Pah-pah.

The Artful Dodger finds Oliver lost on the streets of London and offers him a place of refuge, with the true intentions to take his fortune.

Tourism students gain valuable insights into industry Tourism students from Shalom College in Bundaberg visited Noosa last week to gain some valuable insights into the tourism industry. Close to 40 grade 12 tourism students spent time at the Noosa Visitor Information Centre learning about Tourism Noosa and the role the organisation plays in the tourism industry. Visitor services manager Anna Macklin said, “It was lovely to welcome the students and spend time with them talking all things

tourism and inspiring them to consider a career in tourism.“ “The students spent time with our volunteers welcoming visitors and responding to queries as well as hearing from our head of marketing and events about the various aspects of marketing we do for the destination. “A second group of students spent the next day at the Visitor Information Centre and heard about Tourism Noosa’s sustainable initiatives including the Plastic Free Noosa program and discovering Tourism Noosa is the

only local or regional tourism organisation with a dedicated resource to environmental sustainability.“ Tourism Noosa head of marketing and events Adam Townson said, “It was great to speak to the students about how marketing Noosa works, discussing our target markets and different marketing messages, such as the adventure sector, eat and drink, weddings, sustainability and showcasing the various Noosa villages.“ Teacher Penny McKeown said, “Our field

trips to Tourism Noosa each year are always a highlight for our senior tourism students.“ “The staff do a fabulous job of connecting what is studied in our curriculum to relevant, real life examples - from sustainable tourism, push/pull motivations and the marketing of tourism, to client groups, target markets and the ’business’ of tourism - we always come away with a more in-depth understanding of the tourism industry and the Noosa brand.“

Rotary leader recognised A leading light in Noosa’s vibrant community and president of the Noosa Heads Rotary Club, Geoff Bone, was celebrated for his work by gas and engineering company BOC last week. BOC’s general manager, industrial, Troy Harris presented Mr Bone with the BOC RYDA champion award in a ceremony in Doonan. The award commemorated Mr Bone’s 13 years as chairman of the Noosa RYDA Committee. RYDA, provided by Road Safety Education Limited (RSE), has been developed for senior high school students, giving them the tools they need to make good decisions from any seat in the car. Mr Harris congratulated Mr Bone, who founded the Noosa RYDA program in 2009 as a commitment to youth road safety in and around Noosa. “Geoff has served his community with passion and conviction, first joining Rotary in Darwin in 1969 where he was president in 1974 and 1975. He’s been a Noosa member since 1992 and has successfully applied for many grants and local sponsorships for Noosa RYDA,” he said. “It’s heartening to see a community come together with a common goal of saving lives through evidence-led education like RYDA” Mr Harris said. The success of the Noosa RYDA program was helped by its collaboration with the Rotary Clubs of Noosa, Noosa Heads, Noosa Daybreak and Cooroy which signed an agreement to work together to stage events for students at local schools and colleges. During Mr Bone’s 13 years as chairman,

Although Mr Bone has now stepped down in his presidential role at RYDA, he is still an active member of the committee. He continues to work hard as president of the Noosa Heads Rotary Club and recently coordinated two major flood relief programs, raising over $50,000 for flood victims. BOC became a founding partner of RSE and the RYDA program in 2004. Through the sponsorship contribution of partners like BOC, RSE has been able to expand the program from being a local NSW initiative to venues across Australia and New Zealand.

CWA shift meetings from day to evening For the first time in its 95-year history, the Country Women’s Association of Tewantin Noosa is moving its regular monthly meetings from daylight to evening hours in response to the growing number of working women joining the branch. “This is a big change as day meetings have been held ever since the branch opened in 1927,” outgoing president, 91-year old Marcia Dorricott said at last Friday’s annual general meeting. “All formal meetings will be held at night, although the Thursday morning Hobbies will continue the same”. The change in meeting time after so many years marked a significant shift for the much cherished association which held its first meeting under the fig tree opposite the RSL as the Great Depression was looming. The link with the RSL became even closer when the CWA was experiencing hard times and the RSL (whose original sub branch was formed in 1919) stepped up to purchase its precious premises in Poinciana Avenue and allow continuing occupancy. The AGM paid warm tribute to Marcia Dorricott for her leadership of the branch,

which has continued its operations only slightly diminished despite the challenges posed by Covid. Marcia’s account of the activities of the branch in 2021-22 yielded a long list of community support activities. Marcia’s parting wish was that “the branch continue to grow and be part of the Tewantin Noosa Community for many more years”, and that is the goal Leigh McCready has taken on in a accepting the role of president. “The CWA is a trusted, credible organisation and we have a responsibility to advocate for better outcomes for our community,“ she said. “I am fortunate to have a strong team that will ensure the good work of Marcia and her committee is continued: former Noosa councillor Ingrid Jackson (Vice President, Policy and Projects); Jennifer Gleeson (Vice President, Publicity and Membership); Tina Grigson (Treasurer) and Robyn Shillington continuing as International Officer.“ The AGM was attended by CWA divisional president Patsy Lee from Nambour, Cooroy and Eumundi branch members, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Noosa councillors Karen Finzel and Amelia Lorentson.

Mayor Clare Stewart addressed the meeting on the important new draft housing strategy on which the Council is seeking community feedback. Vice president Ingrid Jackson praised the initiative and summarised a proposal she had provided to the Council supporting the strategy and including some suggestions for improvement. The branch later endorsed Ingrid Jackson’s submission, particularly her emphasis on the need for safe and secure housing for victims of domestic violence, older single women be-

reft of savings and low income workers. Also noted was the fine work of the Thursday morning Hobbies Group under the leadership of Connie Beausang where members continue to enjoy the fellowship and friendship of other women. This year the group donated 25 knee rugs to residents of Carramar, Kabara, Oz Care, Calvary and Salvation Army care homes.

Tewantin Bowls Club kicks off huge renovation Over the last 10 years, bowls clubs across the state have been improving facilities in a move to appeal to the broader community. Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club is no different and is about to embark on a five stage renovation project. A key aim is to provide more for their bowls members while also improving the facilities for a rapidly growing social membership base. The first stage of renovations will start in August 2022, with the front of the club receiving a much needed makeover. The bistro is also being extended slightly and a host of back of house construction is set to be done in preparation for the following phases. All this, along with new furniture

DENTAL HEALTH WEEK NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Moreton Dental is growing

The Noosa Gentle Dental team celebrate Dental Health Week.

Gentle care We all know smiling is a great way to boost your self confidence, lower your stress levels and help rewire your brain to expect good things. Smiling also makes you more approachable, and brings happiness to those around you. This Dental Health Week we are focusing on five key steps to keep your teeth healthy: 1. Take your teeth on a date to the dentist. You may not have been for a little while, take this as your reminder to take your teeth on a date and see your dentist. 2. Care for your teeth by brushing every day. Brush two times every day. Brush once in the morning and once at night. At night, brushing is best done last thing before bed. 3. Spoil your teeth by cleaning between them every day. Cleaning between your teeth helps to remove bacteria and food that build up during the day. Not cleaning these spaces can cause gums to become inflamed and sometimes tooth decay can develop. 4. Treat your teeth to healthy foods and drinks. The World Health Organization recommends adults have six or less teaspoons of

sugar each day. Sticking to this recommendation can decrease the risk of tooth decay developing. Choose to drink water during the day and, if having a sweet treat, do so together with a main meal instead of snacking on the treat between meals. 5. Show your teeth love by using them for their intended purpose. Teeth are made to chew and smile. Love your teeth by only using them for their intended purpose. At Gentle Dental, we offer a range of services to help you love your teeth – call us today to talk about our preventative approach on 07 5455 5500. We also offer same day ceramic crowns, veneers, implants and a range of cosmetic dentistry options. We’ll listen to your needs and talk you through the options, explaining every step along the way. Payment plans and Afterpay are accepted. Give us a call today to discuss your next appointment and let us give you a reason to smile! For more information visit gentledentalgroup.com.au

The Morton Dental team prides themselves on providing quality dental care to their valued Noosa and surrounds clientele. Dental Health Week is a reminder of the importance of our teeth, with Love Your Teeth being the theme for 2022. Love that they are strong and allow you to chew, love that your smile is bright, and you are proud to show it. We all hope to keep our teeth for life and as we all know, prevention is better than cure. That is why the team at Morton Dental encourages patients to keep up their general oral health maintenance. This is achieved by making sure to have your check up, clean

and fluoride on a regular six monthly basis. Morton Dental has recently made some changes in the surgery and have had some experienced new staff come on board. There are numerous dentists in Noosa but Morton Dental would like to think that their friendly, relaxed, yet professional approach makes them stand out from the rest. Whether you are needing fillings, crowns, veneers or dentures, they are here to help. Their in-chair whitening is very popular and affordable. They are currently offering a great special on preventative treatment and would love to hear from you to discuss these specials. For enquiries, call Lisa on 5455 3577.

Focusing on your smile Many people are not aware of the difference between orthodontists and dentists, Noosa local Dr Peter Hardman says. Dr Hardman, who has been a specialist orthodontist for more than 30 years, has shared the key differences for the community. Orthodontists and dentists share many similarities, they work together to help you improve your overall oral health, but they work with different objectives in mind. Dentists cover a broad range of oral health issues and are your go to people at the outset, providing treatment and referring to specialists where appropriate. An orthodontist, on the other hand, is a specialist with a more singular focus - straightening teeth and aligning jaws. They look at growth and development of the jaw and teeth and suggest treatment to achieve the best outcome long term. Orthodontic treatment falls under the category of preventative dentistry and endeavours to avoid more significant issues later in life. Not only does orthodontic treatment straighten the teeth, create confidence and a pleasant appearance, it can also help in preventing tooth decay and other oral health issues for all ages. Most treatment occurs in the rapid growth stage (10-15 years), however, early treatment (phase 1) is indicated in some circumstances. There are dental issues to consider as well as the emotional aspect of incorrectly positioned teeth – schoolyard teasing and trauma to teeth. Oral hygiene can also be an issue. Early as-

DENTAL HEALTH WEEK

Don’t delay on dental health An annual customer survey of 25,000 Aussies conducted by the Australian Dental Association (ADA) and released for Dental Health Week (1-7 August), found one in three people postponed dental treatment in the past 12 months due to Covid concerns and more than one-fifth felt adversely affected by it. Almost a quarter (23 per cent) of those who postponed were aged 18-24 years with more than 40 per cent aged 65-74 years and women numbered more than men. Survey respondents cited their main reason for delaying was that their dental problem was not urgent (26 per cent), 17 per cent were concerned about catching Covid at the dental clinic or travelling to it, 16 per cent reported not being in a financial position for dental care and 14 per cent did not attend due to lockdowns. Of those who delayed their dental consultations, 21 per cent felt this adversely affected them, while 17 per cent were unsure whether it did. Residents of Victoria, NSW and the ACT who experienced greater periods of lockdown, more commonly reported that their oral health was adversely affected. “These statistics tell us a lot about where oral health is sitting for people during the Covid pandemic,” said Dr Mikaela Chinotti, the ADA’s Oral Health Promoter and Sydney dentist. “With people losing their jobs or working reduced hours, dental care took on a lesser priority or was inaccessible during lockdowns for some families. “That said though, with two-thirds of people still getting treatments or attending for check-ups, particularly in states less impacted by lockdowns, this is good news for the nation’s oral health because oral conditions left untreated can result in serious consequences including on the rest of the body.”

Dental Week is a good reminder to have your teeth checked. Fortunately many Aussies don’t plan to delay for too long: 54 per cent planned to go in the next one-three months, 22 per cent were going to book within three-12 months and others were either waiting for the pandemic to ease, or to reach full vaccination status or were still unsure. “Anecdotally we’ve heard from many ADA dentist members that with the stress of the pandemic there’s been an increase in cracked teeth, tooth sensitivity and/or pain associated with clenching or grinding of the teeth and an increase in discomfort from the jaw joint,” said Dr Chinotti. For those Aussies who delayed dental care due to the Covid pandemic, Dental Health Week is a great reminder that it’s time to show you teeth some love by taking them on a date to the dentist. When not at the dentist, Aussies can also find up-to-date and evidence-based oral health advice online in the form of short educational videos, articles and a multiepisode podcast on the ADA’s consumerfocused website at teeth.org.au

The Guide Rebuilding notRe-dame With lucy WoRsley SBS, Friday, 8.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK

Most historians don’t live a glamorous life, with many spending their days sitting in a quiet room writing books, or lecturing apathetic uni students. But British historian Lucy Worsley (pictured) has forged her own path as an illustrious TV presenter, fronting more than 30 specials. This latest adventure follows Worsley as she engages with the scientists, historians and craftspeople working to restore Paris’ most famous 850-year-old Gothic cathedral after the catastrophic 2019 fire. gRantchesteR ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm

All together now: Alan Brough, Myf Warhurst and Adam Hills return for a new season of Spicks and Specks. spicks and specks ABC TV, Sunday, 7.40pm

For a show that packed up shop all the way back in 2011, Spicks and Specks has somehow managed to keep the “band” – Adam Hills, Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough – together over the years, with specials and reunions galore. Now, it triumphantly returns with its 10th season. As one of the most-watched shows on the ABC, Hills says they’re back to support the music industry after the perils of the pandemic to give it “a leg up by showcasing some of the best new musicians Australia has to offer”. In tonight’s homecoming, singer Casey Donovan, comedians Rhys Nicholson and Bec Charlwood and Polish Club’s Novak play the musical quiz.

On paper, Grantchester is a British detective drama about the unlikely crime-solving partnership between a priest and a cop. But once you fall into the clutches of this entertaining British confection, you’ll stay for its sublime aesthetics. Even the most stout atheist is forgiven for finding god when faced with the impossibly good-looking, motorcycle-riding priest Will Davenport (Tom Brittney, pictured). This week, the case involves a vagrant found dead, with a mysterious book the only clue. the block Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

Green is the new black as season 18 kicks off in the Victorian countryside. We are only just getting to know the five new couples who will renovate huge, eco-friendly houses on 10-acre blocks, but by the end of the mammoth exercise viewers will have seen just about everything, with some extra mud for good measure. Host Scott Cam (pictured) is doing something different this round by renovating a house on-site himself too. How’s that for moral support?

Understanding and tackling bird carnage on the flyway The international decline in the populations of many species of birds has generated concern and alarm over the last half century. Loss of habitat is certainly a serious and universal cause of population loss. This is far from the only hazard faced by those species that have annual migration as part of their life cycle. Apart from the natural hazards of weather and the threat of avian predators, they must run the gauntlet of humans who, over hundreds of years, have used the collective abundance, or perceived abundance, of the migrating flocks, to trap and kill birds along their migration routes for a variety of purposes. At the next Friday Environment Forum on 12 August, Angus Innes, an environmental lawyer and life-long birder who has pursued both interests in Queensland, the UK and Europe, will describe this horrific carnage on the Flyways. For his work (managing a team of prosecutors of environmental crime) for the English and Welsh Environment Agency, Angus was awarded the MBE in 2011 for services “to the prevention of environmental crime”. From 2015 to 2020, he was a member of the Wildlife Crime Working Group of the Eu-

Migratory birds are under threat on the Flyways. ropean Network of Prosecutors for the Environment (ENPE) whose major priority was the vast illegal killing, trapping and trading of

migratory birds (IKB) in the Mediterranean region, the heart of the African-Eurasian Flyway. He represented that working group at

international conferences on that subject in Egypt, Malta and Crete. “Energetic conservation charities have brought attention to the horror of killing and trapping activities in the Mediterranean region. Birdlife International’s work has brought scientific validation to the scale of the problem. Preventative action by some national governments has followed. It is a guide to action on our own Flyway- the East Asian - Australasian Flyway,” explains Angus. Everyone is welcome at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville on 12 August to understand the problem of carnage of birds on the Flyways and how to help to prevent this senseless killing. The forum starts at 10.30am and morning tea is available at 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door which includes morning tea/coffee. The organisers ask that masks are worn to protect the vulnerable in the audience. Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.

Robert’s creative streak By Abbey Cannan Noosa Arts Theatre’s Robert Boesch is swapping the stage for a studio, encouraging others to get creative as he returns to his artistic roots. The former graphic designer has been treading the boards for 34 years, starring in roles for Sutherland Theatre Company and Cronulla Arts Theatre, and most recently appearing at Noosa Arts in the One Act Plays Festival and Food for Thought. Robert volunteers on the theatre’s committee, painting sets with the theatre’s men’s group, and now he’s combining his two loves while taking those painting skills to a new level. Robert has entered the Brisbane Art Prize, Mosman Art Prize, and Paddington Art Prize with a landscape painting of the Noosa River. “My wife Deb and I moved to Noosa three and a half years ago after holidaying here for all of our married life,“ Robert said. “Noosa was always a haven for us, the only place that would demand you relax immediately from the stresses of work and the world. “I painted the river because water has the ability to soothe and heal. Most mornings I walk along the river’s banks with Deb and it’s the perfect start to the day. “It’s always different, I particularly loved the sky this morning and wanted to remember the feeling so a painting was the obvious choice.“ His landscape painting took about four weeks to complete. “There are at least four layers in the final picture and my medium of choice is oils because you can build up to the effect you want,“ he said. “Painting is one way I know I can freely say what I feel in the most recognisable way.“ Robert believes a picture paints a thousand words.

Noosa Arts Theatre’s Robert Boesch is swapping the theatre stage for an art studio. “I’ve been to a few of the major art galleries of the world, both here and overseas,“ he said. “One of my favourite paintings is The Potato Eaters by Vincent Van Gogh. I remember standing in front of this in Amsterdam being humbled by its honesty and passion and compassion. Here was Vincent, struggling with his own demons, making the world aware of the poverty of people arguably worse off than he was, but doing it with love and respect.“ He believes painting has the power to re-

flect and change the perception of people. “People who have that creative streak usually try different things, whether it’s painting, sculpture, ceramics, theatre, film or whatever until they land on the thing that makes them happiest,“ Robert said. “Let’s face it, why do anything if there isn’t the reward of happiness in the end? You might have setbacks in the process, but at the end of the day if it doesn’t plant a big smile on your face what’s the point? Added bonus is it makes

Robert has entered the Brisbane Art Prize and Mosman Art Prize with his Noosa River landscape painting. other people happy.“ After retiring and reconnecting with his love for painting, Robert said he would like to be known as a fine artist. “I’ve had two group exhibitions of my earlier works over 30 years ago, some sold some didn’t,“ he said. “I’m just starting to paint again and loving it, so who knows, maybe in six months time I may have enough works for another exhibition! Watch this space.“

Felt and colour to go on show at Pomona Gallery Belle Arnold’s felted works in her new solo show Vessel are an exploration of new themes as her works become more complex in shape and colour. This exhibition, to be held in the Carriage Room, also includes some woven and mixed media pieces. Those who know Belle’s work will be interested in seeing the development of her art. Those who do not know her work will be surprised at how wool can be manipulated in the hands of a skilled creator. Vessel opens at 11.30am on Saturday 6 August and continues until Tuesday 30 August.

Climate joke What did the climate scientist say to the climate denialist when he said that he had ‘an open mind but doesn’t rely on the evidence’? Said the scientist to the denialist: “Your mind is so open that your brain has dropped out”. Is that a brain drain? Just asking. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Share the fund It was great to hear the announcement by our Mayor that the Noosa Council now has a big infrastructure fund. This is great, but can some of this be used in the older suburbs and not mainly around the Noosa Head area. I know that there are a few upgrades somewhere in the hinterlands. More than $50 million has been spent around the Hasting St area in the last few years, and now an additional $5 million will be used for the upgrade of Noosa Parade. The older suburbs in the shire have been neglected for many years - maybe out of sight, out of mind. We live in Sunrise Beach South, and only have two streets with a concrete walkway on the footpath. For safety for all, we should all have a concrete walkway on the footpath outside our homes. Having lived here for nearly 30 years, I have not seen the council construct a concrete walkway anywhere in this district. Many owners have put in their own walkway, including myself, but if they are not all connected it’s hard to use them. One councillor stated we should all do more walking, but it’s not safe to do this. Every day we see people walking their dogs, school children walking home from the bus, tourists and residents walking to the beach, young mothers pushing prams and people walking to catch the bus, all on the streets dodging the traffic. This is not safe and the council should do something about this. Most of the footpaths are used for parking cars, trucks, trailers , boats, caravans, you name it, it’s parked here. The council’s change of building laws re residents can now build a garage right out to the footpath, and not having the normal 6m setback, has caused this, so we now do not have enough off-street parking. I ask all the councillors to discuss this safety aspect and start looking after the older suburbs. This is a council responsibility. The $10 million that has been used to upgrade Noosa Parade, (a perfectly safe street), could have provided a whole suburb with a safe concrete walkway on all footpaths in all the street. The previous Mayor did reply to my letter

Chris Lofven sent us this stunning image of Noosa River. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

with a comment like this: The council do not have money for this, and this is not a priority, not very satisfactory, as it is a safety issue. I can only hope for a response from the Councillors. Preben Nielsen, Sunrise Beach

Get the facts straight when making a case It is unfortunate when lack of understanding leads to wrongful accusations. In a letter (Housing is not a council issue (NT 29/7/22), D. Saunders points to Noosa

Council “approving virtually every application they received in regards to STAs”. This altogether misses the fact that Council has been steadfastly adhering to the 2020 Noosa Plan which allows for short term accommodation in units and duplexes, but not in whole houses. The applications put to Council were only those in line with the Plan. In Rod Ritchie’s article (Giving residents a say (NT 29/7/22), his call for community involvement in Council’s destination management project makes sense, but his concern that residents were to be excluded from a project control group (PCG) is misguided. It is standard project management practice to have such an internal oversight committee.

Councillors sit on many PCGs for major council projects. Normally council staff prepare a well thought through community consultation plan which includes suggested ways of involving the community. That is presented to the relevant PCG for comment and the final version then goes to Council for approval. A PCG has no decision-making power. In referring to Cr Stockwell’s recent amended motion about this, Ritchie does not appear to know that motion bypassed accepted governance protocols, mistakenly treating the PCG as if it were a reference group.

Noosa reconnects with the American visitor market This week Tourism Noosa’s trade and business event’s manager, Vynka Hutton headed to the United States of America for the first overseas travel trade event since 2019. The trade visit aims to re-engage with the North American market to ensure Noosa remains front of mind in this highly competitive international source market. “With the recommencement of direct flights into Brisbane from North America and direct flights to Auckland from the Sunshine Coast Airport providing a connection straight into New York City, it is vital that Tourism Noosa invest in these markets to ensure Noosa stays top of mind,“ Ms Hutton said. “The Australian borders are now well and truly open and Noosa is excited and ready for our international visitors to return. “Here’s to a new chapter in a post Covid-19 world with many successes to come for Noosa and Australia.“ The eight-day roadshow visits travel agents, trade partners and tourism bodies based in Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, and Orange County to provide education, updates and itinerary planning to entice visitors to include Noosa in their holiday plans. The Down Under Answers (DUA)/Travel 2 event will engage with over 300 agents and is one of North America’s largest consortia of travel agents that are qualified Aussie Specialists. The DUA event will be followed by Tourism Australia’s Australia Marketplace North America that will take place in Los Angeles from 7 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 5 August, 2022

Tourism Noosa will be joined by other Sunshine Coast businesses including Creative Tours, Eco Safaris, Spicers Retreats, Tasty Tours, Aqua Duck and Visit Sunshine Coast. The North American visitor market is incredibly important to the Noosa tourism industry, as prior to Covid-19, they were the most profitable international market based on spend per visitor. In 2019, Noosa had 11,500 visitors, with an expenditure of $15.1 million from North America. That equates to an average spend of $1.3k per person, which is more than double the average international spend in Noosa from other markets. During Covid-19, High Value Travellers have saved more money than ever before with 16.9 million stating they had Australia on their travel bucket list in 2020. The focus on High Value Travellers, ensures that the destination benefits, due to increased spending across the region that filters down to a broad range of businesses across the Noosa shire. They typically search for destinations that provide great food, beautiful beaches and interactions with nature and wildlife which perfectly aligns to what our incredible region has to offer.

The Hotseat Phil Jarratt

Reset graph.

Stockwell reset Part 2 Noosa Councillor BRIAN STOCKWELL continues in the Hotseat with PHIL JARRATT to discuss his process for engaging the entire community in a “reset”. In the slide show you’ve put together about this proposed reset, you talk about megatrends. I have a vague idea how that works but can you explain? In past decades thinking about Noosa’s future was fairly straightforward – we didn’t want to become the Gold Coast and we wanted to protect nature. In the current context, considering megatrends, that type of thinking is somewhat meaningless. To start a scenario for a planning process, the first thing you look at is what are the megatrends, how they play out locally. I would then ask what are two critical axes of uncertainty. Those factors that the community believe are likely to be the key influences on the types of future we create. The role of technology is going to be very important in this. If you look at what Sydney has mapped in its transport scenarios, the high technology adoption option reduces emissions by 90 per cent, whereas the ‘sustainability slowtech scenario’ model reduces it by 50 per cent. That’s probably the scenario that we are heading towards in Noosa, because there’s still some disagreement in the community, for example using vehicle recognition to introduce congestion charges in key areas. Another big trend that’s increased in the last few years is global instability, which leads into the need for greater focus on self-sufficiency. Am I hearing you correctly that you’re saying we have to slow the processes down in order to get outcomes? If so where does that leave ZEN 2026? I’m not saying we’re slowing down. I’m saying if we look at zero targets for the council, that’s doable. For the community it’s probably doable for electricity but we’re nowhere near it in transport or waste. I think that’s why we need to do what I’m proposing, so that we can get to a shared view about where Noosa is going. We have baby boomers who are at that stage of life where they think about themselves too much, and we’ve got a whole lot of new arrivals who like the place but they don’t have an understanding of why Noosa is different and what we have to do to keep it that way. Then there are the Gen Xers coming into town with money and they don’t realise that too much reliance on traditional economic growth will lead us where everywhere else has gone. They have to be involved in the conversation too. I suppose one way to think about all of this is to consider what your own opportunities were at 18-34 and work out how to offer those same opportunities to that age bracket now. That’s a conversation that’s not happening yet because some people are in denial that there is a housing crisis. But kids today are thinking not only are they never going to be able to buy a house but they also have climate anxiety.

Cr Brian Stockwell.

Stockwell explains his methodology. How important is waste? From the council perspective, the green waste going into the tip is responsible for 63 per cent of our carbon emissions. So, in terms of greenhouse gas, that’s one thing. In terms of landfill, there’s very little space left. While we’re good at recycling and we recycle more and more, we’re still creating more waste. Things like Plastic Free Noosa are working, but they’re still on the margins of the transformative change that needs to happen. And we still have a lot of people putting garden waste into the red bin, and so on. So, we create a lot of waste and it’s going up. We also use more water than all other communities in SEQ. That’s not a factor of tourism, it’s the resident population taking long showers, watering their gardens and filling up their pools. This would be a good place to summarise

the threats to our future in order of the need for immediate action. The most immediate is housing, how we keep our workforce and our 18-34 year olds. The only way we can do that is with public intervention, public dollars. We’re working with state and federal authorities to achieve that. We’re also looking at incentives to secure private investment from developers, where they hand over part of their development to a not for profit housing organisation. It’s called Inclusionary Zoning. We then have the Destination Management Plan which will require new levers to be pulled if we are to address all those issues that can‘t be controlled by a planning scheme. So the DMP should take in Transport Strategy, Cultural Plan, Environment Strategy and the Noosa Plan. On top of that we have to build

our brand but focus on regenerative tourism, which means people who want to experience nature and culture. There will always be people who just want to go to the beach, but we have to focus on fewer people having a richer experience. To achieve that you need levers to control mass tourism. We then have waste. Zero Waste, Zero Emissions, Smart Biospheres, getting people out of cars, these are all aspirations that require transformational change, rather than a gradual transition. In the old lingo we are trying to facilitate a paradigm change. In my opinion before the community can be committed to achieving them, they need to understand them. I am now trying to stimulate thinking within council and the community that to facilitate transformational change we need to engage in a meaningful way to get the current community enthusiastic about a ‘future Noosa’ that respects the principles of the past in terms of environmental protection and growth management, but which doesn’t simply defend the status quo. What’s the time frame? It’s going to be done progressively, and if by budget review time enough people think it’s a good idea, we can get started. Friday, 5 August, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 31

Aussie Liam gets Eirborne By Phil Jarratt Australia’s greatest ever Irish Dancing champion sells taps at his dad’s plumbing supplies shop in Sydney’s West Pennant Hills six days a week when he’s not performing or competing around the world, or doing hard training at home. If it’s the latter, his old man might let him off with doing just six hours on a Saturday, but if anyone is going to keep you grounded, it’s the Irish. Except that Liam Rivers Costello’s parents are not Irish. Well, not exactly anyway. “I believe it was my great, great, greatgrandparents on my father’s side who came out to Australia around 1860 from County Cork, but that’s as much as I know about my ancestry,” he said a little uncertainly during a recent interview. In fact his first encounter with Irish dance was at an end-of-year school concert when he was just six. “I remember liking the music but what I really loved were the steps and how precise they were,” he told the Guardian Australia. Young Liam taught himself the basic moves by watching videos over the summer holidays, and somehow the bloodlines must have kicked in after skipping more than half a dozen generations. “Then, as soon as I could get into a class, I jumped at it”, he says. Now 19, Liam Costello is the youngest and only Australian to win the Irish Dance World Championships three times consecutively, the last being in Belfast in April. In addition to his world titles, he is a 10-times NSW state champion, seven-times Australian champion and has numerous other international titles to his credit. He now splits his time between London and Sydney training and competing, and presumably avoiding counterwork in plumbing shops whenever possible. Liam’s passion is dance, attested to by his

tiple tours with A Taste of Ireland, performing on the stage of Carols in the Domain, Disney’s West Side Story, and performing in London for Joshua Pilmore’s headliner performance at Move It. Now your humble correspondent is no expert on Irish dancing – in fact the last time he recalls seeing it was in a dimly-lit joint in the Temple Bar and there may have been some poles involved – but he did see Riverdance a long time ago and loved it, and he did just watch two videos of Liam Costello winning a world title and loved them too. And now Liam is one of the many headliners in the all-star cast of Eireborne, the Mellen Events Irish-Australian production which begin a 19-show national tour last weekend in Melbourne. The extraordinary cast features the absolute cream of Irish dancers in Australia for a rebirth of Irish dance - an Irish-based rock and theatrical experience. Eireborne boasts one of the most impressive Irish dancing casts ever assembled in Australia with 15 of the best, along with a dazzling live six-piece band making this show one not to be missed. No mime - it’s all completely live and features the music of Van Morrison, U2, Snow Patrol, Van Morrison, Hozier, The Script, The Cranberries and many more. Among the other headliners are vocal virtuoso Reigan Derry who notched up four number one songs in 2021, performed at festivals in Los Angeles and New York, and Pete Murphy, widely regarded as one of the nation’s premier vocalists, who has been performing in major shows and live concerts throughout Australia and the world for the past 20 years in productions such as Les Miserables, Rent and Shout! in Australia and London’s West End production of We Will Rock You. Eirborne will be at The Events Centre Caloundra on Wednesday 10 August, tickets available at mellenevents.com

Warmth, wit and music A night with Dave Graney and Clare Moore is always an adventure, and the multi-talented duo will take to the stage in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 20 August. With their warmth, dry wit and great songs, Dave and Clare return to Eumundi to launch their self-proclaimed “album for freaks“- Everything Was Funny. However they choose to play, they bring their story and vast and splendid songbook which stretches to over 40 albums. Partners in life and music, the pair have fronted numerous bands including The Moodists (1980 to 1987), Dave Graney and The White Buffaloes (1989 to 1990), Dave Graney and Coral Snakes (1987 to 1989, 1991 to 1997), The Dave Graney Show (1998 to 2003), Dave Graney and Clare Moore featuring the Lurid Yellow Mist or Dave Graney and the Lurid Yellow Mist (2004 to 2011) and in more recent years, Dave Graney and the mistLY. Graney was awarded Best Male Vocalist at the ARIA Music Awards of 1996 for his work on The Soft ’n’ Sexy Sound, while Feelin’ Kinda Sporty won Best Video in 1997. He has received seven other ARIA Award nominations.

They make shows like few others. During the initial Melbourne pandemic lockdown, they started doing online shows every week, sometimes twice a week, and revisited songs from all these albums as well as workshopping new material. They kept performing, and kept their playing and writing skills sharp. Then the lockdown eased, and they played some shows around Australia. Then the lockdown came back again. Luckily, their lockdown nerves held too. The duo’s latest album is a classic compact disc packed with too many songs for vinyl. They’ll be playing a lot of the new collection – mixed in with old classics from their songbook – along with some choice interpretations of other people’s songs for this album launch at one of their favourite venues in Queensland, The Imperial Hotel Eumundi. When people ask you in the future, “What was it like in those years - 2020 to 2022?” You can begin by stroking your chin and saying… ”Well… everything was funny.“ TICKETS: $30 (+ booking fee) through Oztix. 18+ event. Doors open at 7:30pm. Dave and Clare will play two sets.

SOCIAL SCENE NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Happy sounds at Sunshine The sun shone and little rockers from Eumundi School of Rock shared the stage with an impressive line-up of seasoned performers at Sunshine Sounds Festival on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 July. Festival producer Katie Noonan was thrilled with the great sense of community and genuine talent that took to the stage over the twoday event, the second such festival. “There were so many musical highlights, but there were huge goosebumps watching our young Eumundi School of Rock musicians seize the opportunity to jam with Tim Rogers,” Katie said. “Tim brought his musical best and also his mentoring best - full of terrific rock n’ roll and life advice for our next generation of musos. “The kids absolutely shone on stage, and I think everyone fortunate enough to be there was blown away by their talent and excitement. “It’s a special little boutique community festival – and a festival with real heart.” The all-ages festival showcased a lineup that also featured Katie and Tyrone Noonan of george, Clare Bowditch, Asha Jefferies, Hat Fitz and Cara, Deline Briscoe, JaZZella, Layla Barnett, Zara, Lyndon Davis and the Gubbi Gubbi Dancers, Andrea Kirwin and the YamaNui Social Club, and Band of Frequencies. In addition to the music, young festivalgoers embraced the craft activities hosted by Mt Ninderry Art House; Sunshine Coast Council’s Wellness Team hosted zumba and yoga classes and Nova star Productions brought their exceptionally long-legged performers to join in the fun (on stilts). Sunshine Sounds Festival was possible thanks to the generous support of major sponsors Sunshine Coast Council and Visit Sunshine Coast, along with key sponsors Regional Arts Australia and Flying Arts, The Imperial Hotel and Eumundi Brewery, Eumundi Community and District Association (EDCA) and Experience Eumundi.

The Gubbi Gubbi Dancers opened Saturday’s program.

Scootering into Noosa By Maggie Maccoll What began as a few friends with scooters getting together has evolved into the Scooter Rally. Last weekend 67 scooter riders based themselves at the Apollonian Hotel at Boreen Point for a few days of scooter riding and good fun. Organiser Ziko Hart said the event was their third rally with scooter enthusiasts bringing their bikes from as far afield as Sydney. The rally drew a variety of scooters including classic, vintage, modern, mopeds and postie bikes. Most popular varieties were Vespas and Lambrettas with the oldest being a 1958 Lambretta and a 1959 Heinkel scooter. “We’re not a club. It was just Steve Sims and

I got together,“ Ziko said. “A lot of people here are from England where scooters became popular in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and the ‘80s when I got involved in them. I came here in the ‘90s.“ Riders took off en masse for rides across the hinterland during the weekend event, stopping at Noosa Marina for lunch on Saturday to highlight the event with a display of their vehicles along the wharf. Ziko said a raft of games was organised on Saturday night at the Apollonian Hotel to keep guests entertained. He thanked Noosa Scooter Style and Tewantin Barbers for their support and due to the growing interest said the rally would become an annual event.

New moon, high tide bring expectations This is a rod that can be held all day long without getting tired. While the river runs dirty from the floods most anglers are focusing their attentions toward the river mouth. The incoming tide tends to bring saltier water back int the river which the fish population loves. Small baits drifted around on light lines is tending to get the bite. You can run a slightly heavier leader when targeting flathead or run a bite leader. If you need help with knots be sure to drop in and chat to one of the boys. If wanting to try a soft plastic, there isn’t much that works better than a prawn. We have the new unrigged Zerek live shrimps in and the smaller size is going to get smashed by flatties and bream which will be hanging around the rocks and fallen trees of the dog beach. When the sun shines, sometimes just going for a slow cruise around the river can show you where the fish are. If you have a sounder with side scan, be sure to run this and zoom out to 10 meters left and right. This lets you spot targets on smaller screens that would otherwise be missed. If you need help with sounders or electric motors be sure to pop into boating and outdoors next door to tackle world. Freshwater still needs to clear up from the recent floods. If heading out try and find clean water, look for temperature spikes and fish areas that receive the most sun. You may have to make several passes over fish on lower frequency sounder settings and cycle through your lure box. Start off in the main basin to see if the fish

are still schooling and work your way up from there. With the middle of next week looking good now is a great time to head out and enjoy the coasts fishing on offer. Now for all the latest information log onto www.fishingnoosa.com.au for up-to-date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Very rarely do we get a chance to enjoy big tides with light winds and a dropping swell. Mid-week and mid-week next week finally allowed those of us who head offshore a few days grace to experience some reef fishing. Out wide North reef saw the cobia showing up along with some chunky tuskies, sweetlip, jewfish, maori and estuary cod. These fish taking a wide range of baits from squid to mullet fillet. Pilchards also work very well and with 2 hook paternoster rigs. The Sure Catch pre made rigs come in many sizes and let you can fish 2 baits at once allowing you to figure out what the fish want. For those on lures, nothing beats a good soft plastic or jig. Out wide the currents have been variable allowing for plastics to be used with 1-3 oz jig heads. Try to keep lines light and leaders around 30-40lb for presentation. With so many options available try to use tried and tested colours of plastic like nuclear chicken and pink shine, pearl colours. In close you can expect to find sweetlip and cod as well as smaller tuskies and the occasional cobia. If struggling to get the bite, try dropping leaders down by 10lb or so. Although this sounds like it may be too light you will often be surprised what you can land on lighter gear. Be sure to use quality leaders like Shimano Ocea or FC Rock. Beach fishing has seen a mixed bag of tailor, bream, whiting and dart during the mornings and into the night. With the new moon the bite period has been first light and end of the day. For those looking to target these fish and still fish light the Crucis VSX Tempesta is a super light blank with the best Fuji components.

George shows you’re xxx He’s a former professional golfer with more years’ experience than he cares to acknowledge, so you’d reckon there was nothing George Bell doesn’t know about the game of golf. Some of it, though, he may have forgotten. Playing in a group that included another professional, Eumundi-based Hugh Dolan, in last week’s Tuesday Club competition at Noosa, George was lamenting that he wasn’t hitting his short irons with the precision he’d like. “Relax your knees, swing smoothly and keep your body turning during your follow through,” Dolan suggested. It is advice he probably now wishes he’d kept to himself. As was the case is almost every fourball played during Tuesday Club competition, the players had chosen partners for an informal contest between themselves, and Bell and Dolan were in opposing teams. Putting Dolan’s tip into practice, George turned back the years, hit the ball cleanly and confidently, and eventually signed for a score of 42 stableford points. It was enough for him to win the A grade prize – his first, he said, for as long as he could remember – and, just as importantly, to collect the side bet from his mates. “I played well, but I did have a bit of luck,” George said. “I got up and down from off the green for three bogeys.” Though he acknowledged he benefitted from Hugh Dolan’s counsel, he said his putting had improved by gluing a sinker to his putter, adding weight to the head of the club and helping him better control the length of his putts. George Bell has had a wonderful career in golf. He grew up in regional NSW – originally at Bateman’s Bay, then at Young, where he learnt the game and became an outstanding junior golfer. He would drive to Sydney at weekends to represent Concord, then later, St Michael’s, in pennant competition. Turning professional in 1976, George won at his first professional start – a 36-hole tournament at Liverpool, NSW. He enjoyed success on the national pro-am tour and finished in the top five at a New Zealand Open. He moved to Noosa in 1981 and was appointed head professional at Tewantin-Noosa Golf Club, where he remained for more than a decade. George won the Caloundra Pro-Am in 1991 and, that same year, he left Tewantin-Noosa to take over the old driving range in Beckmans Road, continuing to teach aspiring golfers until he scaled it down in 2010. He’s always been able to hit the ball prodigious distances, and his name always crops up when golfers discuss the game’s longest hitters. He once smacked a drive on the 577-yard 6th hole at St Michael’s that came to a halt on the front fringe of the green, though he modestly concedes that he did have the wind at his back. George has just turned 80, though he looks and acts years younger, and is a tad embarrassed to admit he now played off a handicap of 10. “I haven’t played off 10 since I was a teenager,” he said. But he still went around the tough Noosa circuit in the mid-’70s on Tuesday, prompting him to recall that he’d ‘broken his age’ – shot a score fewer than the number of years he’d lived – three times from his past four outings. “I don’t think I’ve been playing enough,” he said. “I think I’ll start playing on Saturdays as well as Tuesdays, now that I’ve found a bit of form.” No wonder he’s a coach Terry Price, the veteran Australian professional who regularly conducts golf clinics at Noosa Golf Club, showed he’s as good as any of the old masters when he shot two-under-par 68 to win the City Legends Pro-Am in Toowoomba last Friday. 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 5 August, 2022

Put a smile on your xxx TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER What are the secrets to playing well? Some may say good technique. Others, a good short game. And some may say good rhythm. They’re all right. However, I find that good players play better when they’re in the right frame of mind. What I mean by that is that their mind is settled and they’re happy. Throwing your club on the ground, swearing or getting angry are sure signs that a golfer’s mind is rattled, which will then adversely affect their game. So what makes you happy? What puts a smile on your face? That’s what you have to find. Then keep that thought constant on the golf course, and good golf will follow. Yes, concentrate on your shot while you’re over it, but then stay happy and keep smiling. PETER HEINIGER is Noosa Springs resident PGA teaching professional

George Bell prepares to play at his beloved Noosa golf course. Price beat Victorian Tim Elliott and Legends Tour Order of Merit champion Andre Stolz by a stroke. Noosa’s Hugh Dolan and Mark Tickle finished well back in the elite field. Noosa flexes muscles in pennant victory Noosa returned to top form in A grade pennant competition at the weekend, smashing Mt Coolum 5-2 and climbing to second position on the ladder with just one round to be completed before the finals. Noosa is striving to win the A grade pennant for the fourth year in a row, but is facing a strong challenge from the unbeaten Headland outfit. With No 1 player George Giblett beating Mt Coolum’s Stephan Scheepers 4&3, Noosa was never threatened by Mt Coolum. Ryan Mulder (4&3), Sam Boulden (5&3), Bronson White (5&3) and Grant Baker (5&4) all scored emphatic wins, with only Toby Harding and Tama Stana tasting defeat. In other A grade contests, Headland beat Maroochy River 5.5-2.5 to stay atop the ladder, while Caloundra and Peregian shared the honours with a 3.5-3.5 draw. All matches were played at Noosa. In the B grade Black conference, Noosa beat Twin Waters 5.5-1.5, Shane Dunning and Lee Christie scoring good wins at the top of the order, while in B grade Red, Noosa 2 pipped Maroochy River 4-3. Noosa Springs went down to Nambour 4.5-2.5, despite Josh Constable maintaining his unbeaten run, and Cooroy lost to Mt Coolum by a similar margin. In Masters Red, Cooroy and Mt Coolum drew 3.5-3.5, while Noosa Springs lost to Nambour 4-3. Continuing Noosa’s remarkable day of success, Noosa’s Masters team beat Twin Waters 4-3 in Masters Black competition.

Cricket season is coming By Randall Woodley A sports commentator once remarked that although he enjoyed the footy season with its bumps and bruises, it was only when the first match of cricket season commenced that his enthusiasm and stimulation for sport really reached its climax. The Sunshine Coast Cricket Association will again be organising fixture matches each Saturday from early September in six senior grades and in early October for junior players. And the local club, the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club will be involved in every aspect of the competition. There will be about 10 clubs involved from Caboolture and Burpengary to the south and to Gympie in the north. The First Grade Tewantin-Noosa Thunder (TNT) team, who went through last season undefeated and were the winners of the three competitions (T20, 50 Overs and Two-Day matches) will again be fielding a strong team and are hoping for a repeat of their recordbreaking performances from last season. It is planned that the club will enter five grade teams in the senior section and have junior teams in every age group. Training for all senior players, or any new players, will commence this Thursday 4 August at 5.15pm and continue each Thursday. The initial training will be conducted by exinternational player, Ben Laughlin who was a big part of the First Grade team’s success last season. A free sausage sizzle will be held after training. Registrations for the season are now open for all senior men and women, junior players and for the Master Blasters and Junior Blasters programs. The club has introduced some great registration offers and incentives this year. These include: Discounts for siblings. Discounts for junior players who have a dad playing seniors – a great reason for dad to get back into or start playing senior cricket. Awesome discounts for our senior and junior female players. Full details can be found at registration. The club is excited about entering a senior women’s team and also to have more female

For more information, visit tewantinnoosacricket.com.au/index.../playcricket Women’s cricket To add to the news above, the club is planning to feature one or two women’s teams this season in the association’s women’s fixtures. The launch of this initiative will be held at the cricket club oval, Read Park Tewantin on Friday 19 August from 4-5.30pm. It is hoped to have representatives from

Queensland Cricket, the mayor and possibly local Member, Sandy Bolton in attendance. There will be some low-key coaching as well as an information session and any females of any age who would like to know more about women’s crickets are encouraged to come along. BPL Sunshine Coast Cricket is excited to announce a new initiative in partnership with the Coastal Marlins BPL franchise - The Sunshine Coast’s very own Sunshine Coast Franchise T20 event for local cricketers.

Held over one weekend with four new franchises, the Sunny Coast Smash is a great opportunity for players on the coast to get some quality cricket in before the season kicks off. A great twist with this is that compared to non-traditional club teams, each franchise will be picking players from a nomination pool which means a great opportunity to play with some players you usually play against on your regular weekends. Nominations are now open. To enter the nomination pool head to sunshinecoastcricket.com.au/.../sunny-coast-smash/

Cooroy gymnasts go from Learn Bridge in Noosa now strength to strength The girls from Cooroy Gymnastics Club recently attended an invitational event at Albany Creek Gymnastics Club as part of their preparations for the upcoming Sunshine Coast regional championships. The team had a fantastic weekend with many achieving apparatus awards and a number of overall champions with podium placings. Neve Whitehill continues to go from strength to strength winning the level 3, u9 division and was recognised for her strong work on bars with a special award, while Nivelle Kelly placed third overall in the same division. Emily Alizzi had her first podium placing for the year winning the level 3, u10 division. Anaya Dickson put in another strong performance placing second in the level 4, u9 division along with Grace Henderson placing third in the level 4 Open division. Isabella Dean showed her consistent training is paying off, winning the level 5, u13 division, and Arabella Fancourt stood tall winning the level 6, Open division and was recognised with an artistry award for her floor routine. Girls’ head coach Jamie Cannon was pleased with the progress the girls have made since the start of the year. “The girls have been working hard in the gym and are striving to step to senior levels in 2023,“ Cannon said.

Bridge lessons are being provided by the Noosa Bridge Club beginning 6 September for eight weeks. This is a twice yearly offering, held in the clubrooms at 3 Wallace Street, Noosaville. Bridge is more than just a card game as it keeps your memory active and your brain alert, confirming the old saying, use it or lose it. Bridge is also a game for any age, all generations from six to 106 can play together and these days bridge is attracting a younger audience as during the pandemic many people in their 20s and 30s started learning and playing online. So don’t wait till you retire before learning. As committee member Julie Scott says, “Everyone wishes they had started playing bridge earlier”. There is a Saturday session available for the weekday workers. Billionaire investor and philanthropist War-

ren Buffett has a reputation of a die-hard player and has been quoted as saying, “Bridge is such a sensational game that I wouldn’t mind being in jail if I had three cellmates who were decent players“. Once the basic skills have been mastered, the club has a number of competitions available such as the recent Novice Congress where players of the same ability compete in a friendly atmosphere. The eight week course begins Tuesday 6 September from 1-3pm. Cost is $80 which includes a copy of Paul Marston’s Introduction to Bridge. This beginner’s course will cover all the basic concepts of bridge and includes sessions of supervised play where your teacher will be available for help.

Authenticity stands out By Erle Levey In a world that’s constantly changing, to stand out from the crowd you have to be true to yourself. Authenticity is the key as a new generation of travellers seek more than 20 cities in 20 days from the back of the bus. It’s no longer good enough just to have a fabulous landscape .... millions of places in the world have great landscapes. The secret is to be a great destination - to create experiences that last a lifetime in the memories of those who lived them. Speaking at the Sunshine Coast Business Council’s forum on the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games, Urbis director Kate Meyrick explored how best to activate a vibrant tourism region. Ms Meyrick said it pays to go back to your origins and discover the real story of where we come from in order to decide where we want to get to. “It’s a matter of how do we go from good to great,“ she said. “Do not fixate on 2032 but use it as a springboard for the next 20, 30, 40 or 50 years. “Build and amplify what we have. Ignite our initial opportunity. “Tourism will grow at twice the rate of GDP. We have got a lot to look forward to.’’ Ms Meyrick said it was important to understand what was going on, to be able to reset the tourist industry for the future. It is a matter of asking how can we use that moment, in which the world focuses on Queensland, for the greatest advantage. The first question to be addressed is about what it is like to be on holiday, with the changes in the world over the past two or more years. How have aspirations changed? “The emerging trend is to be a slow tourist,’’ Ms Meryck said, “... someone who wants to understand the culture of the peoples you visit. “The people you meet along the way become more important. “It’s about the small moments in between that create those experiences.’’ Connectivity is such an important issue for visitors, whether it be great walking, cycling or scooters. “If we cannot move around the area we will fail,’’ Ms Meyrick said. “We need to free up the congestion, make it faster and more ecologically sound.’’ Another factor was the natural warmth and nature of locals towards tourists, to give them an experience they will remember. This means whether you are serving coffee, mending a bike puncture, changing light bulbs or fixing the plumbing in an apartment. “Be the best version of yourself but keep it real ... be authentic,’’ Ms Meyrick said. “People need to fall in love with you. “This is a gentle seduction. The slow process of getting to know you.’’ One of the changes in travel is an increase in solo travellers - even grey nomads who may not have a partner. There are so many different demographics now. It is no longer just the self-serviced apartment for a family or backpacker hostel - it could be wilderness lodges or boutique hotels, hiking tours or camping with a touch of luxury. “It’s not just where we stay and go, but how 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 5 August, 2022

The Noosa North Shore. 286205 we get there,’’ Ms Meyrick said. “We need to adapt accordingly.’’ An example of changing modes of transport was EV (electric vehicle) airplanes that can in some instances be cheaper and more ecologically beneficial than conventional airplanes. Then there is the expansion of public transport from buses and heavy rail to light rail, whether relying on tracks or by ground-level power, whether manned or driver-less. There are better footpaths for pedestrians and the burgeoning bicycle market, from road cycling to off-track and mountain biking. “Tourism is taking on a lighter touch - people are more respectful, and wanting to be protective rather than exploitative,’’ Ms Meyrick said. “They are seeking cultural tourism.’’ The key for destinations such as Noosa and the Sunshine Coast is to look at their assets and attractions … it’s the melding together of these things: food and art, sport, leisure and adventure, the man-made and natural architecture of the region. Visitors want to experience home-made food from a stall at a local market as well as that at a five-star restaurant. They want to see an art show as well as a gallery, an amateur theatre production as much as world-famous performers. Staycation is proving popular as people are choosing to stay close to home at this time when travel is so unpredictable. As well as discovering how much variety there is on offer throughout their own region, they are exploring their own state and throughout Australia. Another question is how do we differentiate between affordable and luxury?’ A mistake for the travel industry was to make assumptions about the perceptions visitors may have of their travel destination - the

Urbis director Kate Meyrick. 286205 culture, the customs, the buildings, the landscape. “Instead, embark on a journey of epic ambition,’’ Ms Meyrick said, “ ... one of surprise, delight and discovery of the Sunshine Coast. “Celebrate our story. The key platforms are to be authentic. “Showcase the extraordinary landscape … create experiences and memories around that. “We have an incredible heritage - a story dating back thousands of years. “There are the indigenous legends of the creation of the mountains, the rivers and the ocean. “Think about how to create the story as well as the history.’’ Events such as Sydney’s Vivid, or Bondi’s Sculptures by the Sea, are ways to capture the imagination. Look at our region, where the Noosa Triathlon is as important in attracting visitors as Australia Zoo. Look at our mountains and the legends that swirl around them, at the Noosa River and its role as the lifeline of the region - the people who have gathered along it over many centuries, the part it plays in today’s world. “Build the created world with the natural world. “Tourism is inclusive, it’s for everyone.’’ What would Ms Meyrick advise? What lessons has she learned while travelling the world? “There is always room for improvement. It’s not about positioning yourself for a few weeks in 2032, but for the future. “The places the locals love are what tourists will love. “This is a coastal, creative community. Amplify that without destroying it.

“Let’s create a unique visitor experience. “Ask with every decision if we are building appeal. “We need to start by understanding what we really stand for. The natural appeal, the human capital.’’ Whether it be visitors on business, a staycation or a slow traveller, we need to cater for their experiences, their interests. The underlying question is, do we ask them what they want to experience, or, do we decide what we want them to experience? “Are we competing against ourselves instead of other areas?’’ Ms Meyrick asked. “We need to look at ourselves … sun, sand and landscape. A million places have that, but it’s not just that - it’s what we do with it.’’ Like the infrastructure needed for the Olympic Games, more has to be done to come up with multiple projects for a region to attract funding rather than one-off applications. “Competing advantages need to be built to raise funding to move in the right direction,’’ Ms Meyrick said. “It’s everybody in the region. We need to make visitors feel at home.’’ From her experience Ms Meyrick said everyone was a part of it. “Do not try to go against the grain as you may miss out. “Understand what we have, and protect it.’’ This is a reflection of our approach to sustainability in the region - the fact we are a biosphere, that we have healthy Landcare groups, and there are regular beach clean-ups. It’s a matter of preserving the pristine natural environment but it’s also about providing experiences that people will take with them. The opportunity we have with the Olympics and how we work together in the future is in our hands. We cannot afford to let it slip.

Strong win for under u12s After a missed week to wet grounds, the Noosa Dolphin Juniors were ready to run into round 12. Here’s what happened around the Coast’s grounds for our awesome rugby up-andcomers. Under 12s The Noosa U12s kicked off round 12 with a challenge against the Eumundi Dragons. All the boys arrived at the field wanting to grab victory, starting strong in the first half with a few great tries. When changes were made to the team, we continued to fight hard and took some great opportunities leading to more tries. After a mighty first half, the U12s led the Dragons 34-0. With the physicality and strength at the breakdown, the tries just kept coming and coming. Noosa led 56-0, but the Dragons didn’t want to finish without any points. With Noosa giving too many infringements and penalties away, the Dragons acted and scored two converted tries. The final score was 56-14. Domino’s Players of the Match went to Dane Monie and Siem Vanvelzen who were both physical at the breakdown and executed some excellent tackles. Written by U12s player Alex Bingham. Under 11s A fast start from the Dolphins U11s led to two quick tries to Matthew and Luke. Controlled ball movement and width in attack helped to stretch our Saints opposition and the Dolphins looked set to run away with the game. Again, poor ball security, drive at the breakdown and missed tackles cost us dearly. The Saints capitalised on these with some long-range tries. The score lead fluctuated throughout the game but in the end the Dolphins went down by a conversion on the siren. Thanks to the parents’ support and coaching staff. Under 10s The Noosa U10s Reds played away at Caloundra versus the ever-tight Brothers outfit this round. It was a tough game for our boys against this strong side. We had a lot of opportunities but too often had the ball ripped out of our hands or dropped the ball altogether. However, Kai and Max kept the boys on their toes and we went into the first half with the score tied up. In the second half, we started well but again, our hands let us down. The boys played hard right to the end and never gave in, with a final score of 12-all. Congratulations to Riley and Cooper for being our Domino’s Players of the Match. I’m away for the month. Good luck for the rest of the season boys and be the very best you can be. Look after each other, be kind to each other, play hard, wear the Dolphins jumper with pride, and most of all, enjoy the game. It’s a pleasure to coach you boys and I will definitely be back next season.

Under 9s It was a chill and ominous wind that blew across the playing fields of Grammar as the Dolphins U9 boys warmed up for their big match against the highly fancied Brothers. What a start! From the kickoff Mason gathered the ball and crashed through the opposition defence for the first try after seven seconds. Alas, Brothers had been reading from the same play book and despite some desperate tackling from Harvey they returned serve almost immediately. This set the pattern for the day. We saw

some magnificent work from Emmerson to force a turnover, only to lose the ball and force Jake into a try-saving tackle on the last line of defense. The ball was everywhere and then a tremendous run from Taylor with a slick pass to Ben almost resulted in a try, but the defence arrived just in time to knock Ben into touch. As ever Hudson was in everything, with big hits and great runs keeping us going forward. It was hard to keep up with the frantic pace, Huxley proved a Trojan in tight, shutting down the forward movements. Monty as ever was tireless in both attack and defence, Tom was making searching runs, but the final play of the half saw as good a blindside as you will see with Taylor drawing

the defence to put Ben over in the corner. 2-3 at oranges. The second half was desperation with Hunter leading the way in tackle count He only just shaded Zac in that area, with Zac also working himself into the ground. A couple of tries against the run of play distorted the score in favour of Brothers, but Miller did his best even things up with two great second-half tries. The final say of the match went to Tom with his huge tackle on a Brothers player resulting in an urgent call for the zambuck, but fortunately he was OK. Congratulations to the Domino’s Players of the Match, Hunter and Hudson, and farewell to Harvey and team manager Shane who will be away for the remainder of the season.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Past players day will be on Saturday 13 August.

Tiger girls will play Mayne this Saturday.

Noosa Tigers storm home By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers have dropped to sixth position on the QAFL ladder after a sixpoint loss to Palm Beach on the Gold Coast last Saturday. The Noosa boys started extremely well with their pressure and hunt for the footy far greater than the Lions going into the first break with a two and a half goal lead. For the middle two quarters, the clearance work from Palm Beach, particularly as centre stoppages became crucial and they were able to control the game for the most part and set up what most thought was a match-winning lead. A lack of concentration by the Tigers during a 10 minute period of the third quarter saw Palmy’s lead extend to just on four goals before Noosa again started a mini charge. Controversy played its part on the third quarter time siren after a superb set shot on goal from Aaron Wilson was disallowed by the field umpire who, unlike most others watching, called it a no score due to Wilson going over his direct line of mark. An enthralling final quarter saw the Tigers pushing hard and in the end coming home the better only to squander some simple chances late on goal and repeatedly kick the ball poorly into the forward line. Palm Beach now jump the Noosa Tigers into fifth position with three rounds to play. Of course, the Tigers have one less game to play with a bye this weekend. A win at home on 13 August against Grange will ensure a finals’ spot for Noosa. Plenty of contributors at the Tigers on Saturday with the defence outstanding the entire day. Flagg and Guthrie continued their consistent form continually killing the footy and saving many a goal on the last line of defence. Riley Buntain was a standout when moved back to defence where his high marking and spoiling was a constant reminder of what a great player he has been at Noosa for many years. Tyler Stack was in the thick of things on his wing, particularly in the first half, while the

grunt of Wallis, Laskey and Templeton was prevalent. Will O’Dwyer’s second half was the reason the Noosa side was still in the hunt as he tore strips through Palm Beach with weight of possession and clever decision making. Big Bussey battled hard, as did Jono Freeman up forward or in the ruck, however, in the end Palmy were just that little bit more composed with the footy and got over the line. Media award votes: 5. W. O’Dwyer. 4. R. Buntain.

3. M. Bussey. 2. A. Laskey. 1. B. Guthrie. Our Noosa Tigers Senior women keep going from strength to strength after a thumping 15-goal win against third-placed Sandgate at Sandgate last weekend. The girls head back down the Bruce Highway this Saturday to play Mayne in another tune up for around the corner finals. Our Noosa Tigers inclusion team is the only senior team at home this weekend when they take on Yeronga from noon at Weyba Road.

Bring down some nibbles and refreshments and enjoy watching our inclusion guys run around as they get ready for their national carnival in the Barossa later in the year.

Talking Sport Ron Lane

Cost of no football boots In the world of Australian sport, there is basically two types of athletes - the professional and the amateur. For the professional, one of the biggest money earners would have to be football. Regardless of the code, for those who reach the top the financial rewards, are in some cases beyond belief. Then for the amateur what is beyond belief is the total lack of financial assistance, even for those who have the ability and the coaching to take them to the top of national, international or Olympic fame. To reach the top as an amateur the two most important factors are, of course, their family support and above all the coach. That man or woman who has the ability to recognise the talent, bring it to the surface, know when to push and when to back off and, most important of all, understand what makes the athlete tick. There is that false conception that a great champion will automatically make a great coach. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every community has its coaches, and among the many is that handful who have taken their protege to the very top, both national and international. The four you are about to meet over the next two weeks have all achieved outstanding success and have done so with one factor that is applicable to all. No football boots required. However, this factor always creates two major problems raising finance and gaining media attention. Mick Hooper In Noosa’s Athletics and Little Athletics Club, head coach is Mick Hooper. Despite his quiet disposition, here is a man who now has success as a constant companion. As a coach, Mick has now, for several years, been the proud holder of the International Level 4 IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federation), the highly regarded International governing body for the Sport of Athletics. His achievements, as a coach of both individuals and team events speak for themselves. Under the coaching and guidance of Mick and his coaching panel, club members have won a total of 72 Australian championship medals, 23 of which were Australian champions, five Australian records and also 11 medals both relay and individual, at international level. Most outstanding of all, on 11 occasions, members the Noosa Athletic Club have had the honour of representing their country in Oceania Championships, Youth Commonwealth Games, Youth Olympic Games and World Championships. It is no wonder that early in his career Hooper was, for two consecutive years (20112012),named Queensland Little Athletics Coach of the Year. Now he still holds the reins and, despite the years, is still achieving. “The year 2018 is a year that I will never forget. Apart from having Zane Branco and Samantha Johnson qualified for the Junior World Championships in Finland, it gave me the chance to talk with several European coaches,“ he said. “They were shocked when told, that despite the fact they were representing their country, the parents had to contribute approximately $5000 towards the trip. “European coaches that I spoke to, said all their expenses were paid for by the government. It really made me understand exactly what we are up against in amateur sport.” In summarising their achievements coach Hooper said, “Our pathways are now fully established, with athletes that started with Noosa’s Little A’s as 10-year-olds. “Now they are travelling through Europe, competing as open athletes.” Two such athletes, Zane Branco and Christie Edwards, have both won medals while competing in Norway and the Great Britain

Noosa Athletics and Little Athletics head coach Mick Hooper. National U23 Championships. Bryan Dukas Another of our successful coaches who acknowledges, that in his sport, there are no football boots required, is Bryan Dukas 6th Dan, owner and head coach of Karate Noosa. Bryan, who hails from South Africa, migrated to Australia and settled in Noosa with his wife and two children in August of 2016. Introduced into the world of karate by his father at age five and trained under the Japanese syllabus, it became his life’s ambition. “You could say that I grew up in a dojo. I lived worked and trained there. Always under my father’s supervision.” Born in 1978, his many visits to Japan and countries throughout the world for advanced training, competition and teaching, have earned him success and respect at all levels of the art and resulted in a career that is, without a doubt, beyond reproach. Regarding qualifications, he is now at the highest level, holding the international licenses as an instructor, referee and examiner. Regarding his international experience, he has visited for competition and seminars 16 different countries. His medal count in competition is vast. In coaching his achievements have been many and outstanding. Named amongst the highlights there are 2011 to 2016 chief coach for the WSKF (World Shotokan Karate Federation) South Africa to the World Shotokan Championships, produced 10 national team members (South Africa) over 20 World Shotokan Champions (South Africa and Australia) 3 WKF ( World Karate Federation) bronze medallist (South Africa) and WKF Bronze Certified Coach Australia. In Australia his dojo was named the best dojo in Queensland for 2016-2019, (four years running). Bryan has now been selected as Queensland head Kata coach for 2021- 2022 and has also coached many Queensland team members and also produced Oceania and National champions for Australia from Noosa. As with Noosa Athletic Club, financial assistance and media attention for martial arts is virtually non-existent. A classic example of this, would have to be the career of Karate Noosa’s, Dannica Starkey, a teenage athlete of international renown. Under the training of Bryan Dukas and coaching staff, this 14-year-old student is, despite her youth, definitely one to be admired and above all respected. Her relationship to Dukas and other senior

Bryan Dukas, 6th Dan and head coach of Karate Noosa. instructors such as Mike Hislop 5th Dan, has been one of outstanding success. “Her attitude and approach to karate is very determined and positive,” said Dukas Her list of achievements is also outstanding: five state titles, four Australian titles all in kumite (a section of karate). In 2018 she was named in the Australian team to compete in New Zealand in the Oceanic Cup winning the bronze medal in kumite. Then again in the same year while still representing her country in the Pacific Cup, she won a silver medal in the kata. However, the year 2019 was the one to remember, winning her first Australian gold medal and following this winning the gold medal in Japan in the World Championships, all for this junior Black Belt at age 13. Despite her youth she has not neglected the financial burden imposed upon her family. She undertook to start a small tee-shirt business to help raise funds. On her shirts was her slogan, Kick Like a Girl. It was fun and a success. When chosen to represent one’s country in international competition it is indeed considered an honour, however, when it involves travel to such places as Japan it can come as a

big cost to the family. With no public recognition and sponsorship, it is definitely a burden. “When chosen for Australia, Dannica not only paid $400 for her green and gold track suit, (of course it included the national coat of arms), but also all other sides, travel, accommodation, entry fees and other little hidden expenses. A total of roughly $15,000.” All for the honour of representing Australia overseas against the finest in the world. We can all take pride in the achievements of this young lady and her family but surely it is time that we approach the problems that face families whose sons and daughters choose a sport where no football boots are required. For coaches such as Mick Hooper and Bryan Dukas, they too will often go unnoticed, but with the support of media and sponsors, these people. who bring pride to our communities, will get their well-deserved respect. Next week we introduce two more of our outstanding coaches, Mark Evans, amateur boxing and Yoshi Hasegawa, Jiu-Jitsu. And also announce to the community their champions and achievements.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Surf writer pats the shark Last Friday night on social media I picked up a thread from friend and colleague of many years standing, Tim Baker, and did a doubletake. It contained an element that was entirely unexpected in a man who has proven to be, over the last half-dozen years, one of the bravest I have known. It was plain, old-fashioned fear. Not fear of death. Tim’s been poking that bear for long enough to know there’s nothing to fear down that road, other than a decided and unwanted lack of existence. No, this was the cold fear of consequence that only a writer knows. What if they don’t get why I am so totally exposing myself to the brutal court of public opinion? Although not to the same agonising degree that Tim was feeling the other night, I too have been there. I’ve opened the curtains to the brain, the bedroom, the powder-smeared coffee table and just about everything else, fretted about it until I made myself sick and then just waited for publication day. The occasion the other night was the eve of publication of the first reviews and excerpts of Tim’s long-awaited cancer memoir, Patting The Shark, (the title perhaps a nod to Mick Fanning, with whom Tim enjoyed considerable literary success). Although in the very early stages of this project, I got a hint of where he was going with it through some magazine work I had commissioned from him, I could feel his intensity as publication dawned, and understood for the first time how bare he must have laid himself. We exchanged a couple of matey thoughts that night, and I went to bed thinking that Bakes would have his confidence back in the morning, and that I need to make his book the next read on my bedside table. I knew Tim’s work quite a while before I met him, and he grew up knowing mine. I then met him at a few surf-related bunfights, but only got to understand something substantial about him at the last of the Quiksilver G-Land Pro events in East Java in the ‘90s before Suharto screwed the pooch and we had to stop coming for a while. The contest was reaching its final stages which meant that fewer surfers were still in the mix and more who weren’t were sensibly using the time to go completely berserk in the jungle. So it wasn’t completely unexpected that late one night as I was wending my way back to my bungalow in the pitch dark after a nightcap somewhere, that I should be accosted by two drunken lunatics skipping down the path with open beers, singing a Duran Duran song. This was Derek Reilly and Tim Baker, both magazine editors and fellows of substance, which we began to find out on someone else’s lanai. Roll on into a new century, many books, book launches, book festivals later, and we certainly punched a few out in those years, including one year when we both produced a big fat history of surfing for the same Christmas market. That was a bit unfortunate. Fit at 50, still a fine surfer, at the peak of his literary powers, in love with the family life he shared with wife Kirsten and their two kids, in July 2015 Tim received the news no one wants to hear. He was diagnosed with stage 4, metastatic prostate cancer with a Gleason score (for the aggressive nature of the cancer) of nine out of 10. With appropriate treatments, the prognosis was five years of reasonable health. Three years into it, Tim wrote in an article for Tropicsurf Annual: “No words can adequately describe the sheer, surreal terror of receiving such a diagnosis, or the baffling maze of treatment options, conventional and alternative, you are confronted with by earnest doctors and well-meaning friends.” Editing that upbeat, uplifting article, I first understood the enormity of what Tim was going through. Having had several friends 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 5 August, 2022

In fact, athletic men under 60 produce more testosterone, and therefore have higher Gleason counts. Now here we are another four years on, “patting the shark”.

and conventional therapies, about the bridge between lifestyle and health and about the importance of mind over crumbling matter. But he has never written anything like Patting The Shark. As I read the excerpt that appeared in last Saturday’s Weekend Australian Magazine, I laughed, I cried, I laughed again. Not going to lie, I was a blubbering mess before I finished. Rarely have I ever read the cancer journey told with an honesty and candour borne not of the need to get it off the chest but the need to

Picture: PETER EASTWAY share it in the common good, because much of what Bakes writes, particularly concerning the declining sexuality of the cancer sufferer, is not stuff we really know about. It’s not easy to read, but it is compelling, and only a writer of Tim Baker’s calibre could have made it so. Tim’s defied his prognosis by two years now, but who’s counting? Just go for it, mate. Patting The Shark – a surfer’s journey, learning to live well with cancer (Ebury $34.99) is on sale now.

PROPERTY TANGO IN TEWANTIN PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY TOM Offermann Real Estate agents are offering two substantial properties in Tewantin each with different appeal. One is an executive-style riverhouse offering four bedrooms, five bathrooms, six-car parking and pool on 1.57ha. There is even room to land a helicopter. The other is a two-bedroom, onebathroom cottage on 1.89ha of bushland still within walking distance of the river and a couple of minutes in the car to Tewantin’s shopping centre. It’s rare to get such a holding in Tewantin these days - out-of-sight from neighbours, except koalas and kangaroos, yet with Noosa’s beaches less than 10km away. That’s what’s on offer at 35 George St, with Jill Goode and Robyn Reid having listed the property at $2.45m. The dwelling on site formed part of a 1960s-built motel on Noosa Hill, and includes carports and several outbuildings. Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

On offer is four bedrooms, office, five bathrooms, pool and parking for six vehicles. “Every room is blessed with views, and

for best beaches it’s only 50m to the Noosa North Shore ferry for Teewah Beach or 9kms to Noosa Main Beach,” Patrick said. With the luxury of so much space, river views, a perfect northerly aspect, the location alone cannot be understated. Electronic gates open to lush lawns and a sweeping driveway, with the 670sq m residence sitting on 1.58ha.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car waterfront apartment 13/24 Munna Cres, Noosaville, is set for auction at 10am on Saturday, August 13. 291880 The freshly renovated apartment offers large living spaces and wrap-around terraces overlooking the white sand beach, jetties and pool of the landmark complex. “The Brisbane designer has done a really nice job,’’ Eliza said. “The apartment has been reconfigured to a three-bed with a nice flow throughout. “Waterfront and three bedroom ... you don’t get that often. “It’s a beautiful area. There has been a lot of inquiry from interstate but also local and those who already own property in Noosa. “That speaks volumes for the apartment.’’ The weather has been brilliant for the launch of the campaign and mid-week inspections have been popular, Eliza said. “We’ve been working around bookings for the apartment - it’s a matter of getting in when we can.’’ The apartment features a stone-topped cabinetry kitchen with breakfast bar and all of the latest appliances. From the Hampton’s-inspired main bedroom you can step onto the terrace, with splendid river and ocean views. There’s a walk-in robe and an ensuite with timber and stone cabinetry, plus a shower with curved mosaic wall. Two additional bedrooms have walkin robes and both have access to an undercover terrace. The main bathroom has an oversized walk-in shower with timber, stone and mirrored cabinetry.

A four-bedroom, five-bathroom, six-car riverfront house with office, pool, on 1.57ha at 289 Moorindil St, Tewantin, goes to auction Saturday, August 13, at 11am. 291880

CENTRE OF ATTENTION A newly-renovated penthouse apartment at Sunshine Beach has been really well received ahead of the auction this month. Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two-car garaging, the top-floor apartment in Sempre, 9/28 Duke St, blends sophistication with coastal aesthetics. Marketed by Adrian Reed and Darren Neal of Reed & Co, it is one of six in the Sempre complex at the heart of Sunshine Beach village. As such there are views down to the surf club and ocean from the terrace, living area and main bedroom. A five-bedroom, four-bathroom designer house with pool on 0.5ha at 7 Panorama Dve, Doonan, that went to auction late last month is in the final stages of negotiations. The strong marketing campaign understood the quality of the property and created a great deal of interest that resulted in post-auction offers. A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, twocar townhouse at 6/2 Lake Weyba Dve, Noosaville, was passed in at auction last Saturday, again with negotiations taking place after the event. TOWNHOUSE NEAR THE RIVER A sassy riverhouse townhouse 5/12 William St, Noosaville, is on the market with Jill Goode of Tom Offermann Real Estate at $1.55m. In what could be a three or four-bedroom configuration, it has two bathrooms and two car-parking spaces in what is one of six apartments.

The entrance to William Street is from the north-eastern end of Gympie Tce, where there’s a boardwalk for watching the river and catch the sunsets. The three-level north-facing townhouse has comfortable living spaces with pale floor tiles - evocative of sandy feet and the salty air of the location. White plantation shutters reveal a sunny undercover terrace. The dining area blends with the sizeable U-shaped kitchen, preparation bench/ breakfast bar, pantry and storage. On the south side is another terrace off the living space, also an office/study and a powder room. The upper level is devoted to the bedrooms - the main suite in the northern wing with walk-in robe and ensuite, enjoying access to an undercover terrace The second and third bedrooms have built-in robes and share a bathroom. On the ground level is a fourth bedroom that opens out to a courtyard. EVERY DAY FEELS LIKE A HOLIDAY Another offering in the Noosaville riverside area is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in Noosa Tropicana - 15/140 Noosa Pde, Noosaville Eliza Coppin at Tom Offermann Real Estate said it was a spacious apartment with rooftop and terrace, on the northern side of the resort. Listed at $1.395m, it has been freshly renovated to highlight the open-plan design and coastal lifestyle. “There are 22 apartments in the complex,’’ Eliza said, “and this is away from

Noosa Pde, as it backs onto Woorookool Place.’’ A wide terrace off the living area with a spiral staircase to the rooftop, wraps around to the dining area. Pale sandy-coloured floors are complemented by two white leather sofas, timber dining and side tables, timber and rattan chairs plus accessories and art pieces that add to the feeling of every day being a holiday. The large C-shaped kitchen comes with cream stone bench tops/breakfast bar, 2-pac cabinetry and appliances. The two bedrooms are carpeted and have built-in robes. The main has a queen-size bed, built-in robes, ensuite, television and access to the north-facing terrace. The second has twin beds, a built-in robe and a family-size bathroom has an abutting fully equipped laundry.

ON THE COVER

TALLOW BUILDS ON PREVIOUS SUCCESS THE Settler’s Cove precinct is well-known for producing a string of Noosa’s most recognisable and desirable apartment developments; think Lumina, L2, Emerald, Iluka, Elandra and Riverlight. The latest and last development in the precinct, Tallow Residences, builds on this remarkable foundation of success with apartments that are quintessentially Settler’s Cove in every way. The location obviously plays a big part in the success of these developments. Occupying a rare piece of inner-Noosa, Settler’s Cove is a quiet enclave with no through traffic set between the Noosa River and protected native bushland and only minutes from Noosa Junction and Hastings Street. Embracing its elevated position, Tallow Residences makes the most of its bushland setting and Noosa Hill views. So too in style, Tallow embraces the striking appeal of its sibling developments. The unique external building treatment oozes a certain Noosa quality and prestige. Inside, the design, materials and finishes live up to Settler’s Cove benchmark

in every aspect while complementing the natural bushland surroundings that are a key aspect of the development’s appeal. Enticing natural stone and wood finishes feature throughout. The large, open floorplans are another stunning feature that brings nature to the fore and makes the most of the sunshine and summer breezes for which Noosa is famous. Tallow Residences apartments range in size from 255 m2 up to the spectacular penthouses with over 500 m2 in total area. As with all previous Settler’s Cove developments, buyer interest has been strong with 75 per cent sold of the initial off-plan release. However, with apartments of this quality, there are still excellent opportunities for astute luxury buyers. The next round release of these stunning apartments is coming soon, so register your interest to ensure inclusion in this final chapter of the Settler’s Cove success story.

HOME FOCUS

DREAM LIFESTYLE ON THE WATERFRONT A WHISPER quiet absolute waterfront townhome is a slice of paradise. It has lawn from the terrace to the revetment wall, a jetty close-by, an underpass or alternatively a pathway, leading to cafe central on Gympie Terrace as well as the Noosa River foreshore. Entry on the north side is into a private tiled courtyard. Indoors, a relaxed, holiday ambience exuding the languid echoes of summer is immediately evident. Fused with flourishes of cool luxe style from the dining area through to the breezy, free-flowing, light-drenched living space are glass sliders which ‘disappear’ thus amplifying the indoors-out effect. It’s a seamless transition to the undercover timber terrace, the width of the townhome. Alfresco entertaining takes on a new meaning when looking out to the adjoining park-like area dotted with stately paperbark trees and extending to the revetment wall, albeit the resort’s waterfront. Look across the wide waterway to prestige residences, imagine fishing from the jetty, kayaking around Noosa Waters or taking a boat through the lock and weir system to the upper reaches of the Noosa River. You certainly get the feeling someone is

about to pour a drink before a long lunch! Don’t worry, the generous in-vogue kitchen with stone topped island bench/breakfast bar, ace appliances and heaps of storage works intuitively around everyday life, and of course has all the bells and whistles needed by the consummate entertainer. Upstairs off the mocha-tiled hallway are three bright dreamy bedrooms with plush carpet. In the master suite with its walk-in robe and chic ensuite, wake up to dulcet choruses from the local birdlife, and look over the waterway while enjoying a morning cuppa. Two bedrooms have built-in robes, one has a bunk set-up with under-storage, plus looking out to the view is a custom desk for devices. The third bedroom on the north-side is set-up as a twin and both share the main bathroom. The WC is separate. “This is a must-see, take advantage of the lucrative holiday market or move-in-now waterfront townhome, in a very sought-after location,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jesse Stowers. “It really is a blue-ribbon waterside address which engages visually with the surrounding prestige townhomes, multiple jetties, four pools, and is perfect for

walking, cycling, kayaking, paddleboard, fishing and boating enthusiasts. You can even moor your boat near your townhome. “Nearby is Noosa Village, cafes, takeouts, homewares, hairdressers, library, essential services, transport links, gym and more. Walk to boat hire, Noosa Ferry stops, Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club, also Gympie Terrace’s restaurants, cafes, and boutiques.” Facts and Features: Townhome Size: 180m2 Income Yield: Over 4% About: Private courtyard entry – 5.4m x 3m; waterside partial undercover terrace 5.2m x 3.5m w outdoor setting & BBQ; sandy-hued floor tiles; dining table w bench seating & 2 chairs; modular leather lounge; auto blinds; upstairs w 3 x carpeted bedrooms - 1 master w walk-in robe & ensuite, 2nd w bunk beds incl storage + custom desk, built-in robe & access to attic/store, 3rd bed w twin beds & built-in robes; mocha tiled hallway & bathroom w large shower + storage; sep WC; fans/aircon; lockbox; single garage; visitors parking Kitchen: U-shaped w cream stone-topped bench tops/breakfast bar w counter

HOME FOCUS

TWO DWELLINGS AND TWO DRIVEWAYS LOCATED on a gently sloping picturesque block of 2.67 acres, this property is a mere 20-minute drive to Noosa Main Beach, and 15-minutes’ drive to the beautiful Noosa River. With a large main house and a separate secondary dwelling on the property, there is also the opportunity to earn an income, together with enjoying the lifestyle. The main house, perfect for a whole family to enjoy in its entirety, or a multigenerational family would be suited to elderly parents or young adults’ downstairs in their own fully self-contained area. Alternately, the whole main house could be rented. Entered from Redwood Road, the double storey main house is approached up a tree-lined driveway and is set in an elevated position overlooking the stunning swimming pool and entertainment area, and beyond to the spring fed dam and jetty. Wide external timber stairs lead up to the top level of the house. This level offers an expansive open plan living area and a large state of the art kitchen showcasing thick bookended marble benchtops, a 900mm gas cooktop, and ample slide out storage. A bathroom with separate toilet and two bedrooms on this level, both enjoy the lovely rural views. A wrap around veranda and large timber decks and paving around the pool offer a multitude of areas to relax and soak up the beauty of this stunning location. In addition, there is a huge outdoor area constructed ready for enclosing as additional indoor living space, or to be roofed for shade, leading from the kitchen which provides another welcoming area for relaxation. Downstairs is a large living room and wet bar, ideal for a pool table, media room, or for the largest party! Two bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry make this level ideal for visitors, teenagers, or extended family. The newly built second dwelling, offers complete privacy and separation from the main house and is perfect for a couple, extended family, permanent tenants, or holiday accommodation. Situated approximately 30 metres from the main house and offering seclusion and privacy to its occupants, with two bedrooms, kitchen, large living area, internal courtyard, and a stunning bathroom, the possibilities here are numerous. A spacious undercover outdoor area and a fabulous spa, barbecue area and terraced gardens complete the picture. Endless opportunities indeed. In addition to ample vehicle garaging for both dwellings, there are two large

solidly built sheds on the property, ideal for hobbies or the home handyman. There is also a tandem carport with a gateway entrance off Eumundi Noosa Road, ideal for a boat, campervan, or machinery. Its proximity to Noosa, to the Sunshine

Coast Airport, and the ease of access to the Bruce Highway for commuting to Brisbane, sets this property apart from most Noosa Hinterland properties. With so much else on offer here, there is so much to admire and enjoy about this

property, and only an inspection will do it justice. Be quick to inspect and decide for yourself which of the endless possibilities you will tick on your own wish list! Viewings via private inspection welcome. ●
