Tapping into Oktoberfest By Jacqueline Trewin

Dust off your dirndl and don your lederhosen for the second annual Oktoberfest in Cooroy set to be a day jam-packed with activities for the whole family. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart will open the free event expected to draw bigger crowds this year on Saturday 1 October at Saw and Mill Restaurant in their outdoor Beer Hall on the Green. “Last year we had a really successful event with over two thousand people attending. This year we’re expecting even more, but we’ve also got more activities,” Saw and Mill restaurant manager Kimberly Bateman said. “Lots of planning is involved to ensure it’s a fun and safe event for everyone,” she said. The Oktoberfest was first held in 1810 to honour the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen through several days of public drinking and feasting that helped to unify a kingdom. Third generation master baker and German Bakehouse owner Sven Noack who is currently busy baking thousands of pretzels for the Oktoberfest in Brisbane says the festival in Cooroy is unique. “A lot of restaurants and cafes do not do Oktoberfest like we do. We have a beer tent, an authentic band and everything else that reminds you of Oktoberfest in Munich,” Mr Noack said. Featuring authentic Bavarian music, the Oktoberfest Show Band will transport you to Munich, where the largest beer festival in the world is now in full swing. Continued page 14

For 37 years, the Chittick family have been creating magical memories while visiting the exact same site every September at Noosa River Caravan Park. They’ve had births, laughs, big storms, celebrations, and gravel grazes, including a fall on the day of the interview by Barb Chittick, 83, who says she’s been clumsy since she was a kid. Together with her husband David, 88,

they’ve celebrated their 40th, 50th and 60th wedding anniversaries at the Noosa park. “We first came up from Victoria 37 years ago and met a friend of ours here that showed us around. We chose Noosa River Caravan Park by sheer chance,” David said. “We would fish in the river all the time and we made a lot of friends in the park. “We had our kids, so we started coming during the school holidays, and then their kids started coming as well. The kids have

grown up with other kids in the park. It’s like coming home for us.” The great grandparents said they still love Noosa as much as the first day they visited. “Dad gets home and counts how many weeks it is until he’s back,” Emma Chittick said. “It’s a wonderful place to keep coming to.” Barb said they’ve created some funny memories over the years. “Along with our wedding anniversary cel-

ebrations, we also renewed our vows here,” she said. “We drove off after the ceremony with metal cans on the back of our car. We’ve had a fancy dress party here. We got in a lot of trouble doing silly things over the years. “We got together a little golfing group from here where we had 35 to 40 golfers from the park and we’d have a barbecue every Thursday. And it’s still going.” Continued page 2

Noosa’s happiest campers From page 1 When asked what his favourite activity was to do in Noosa, David said, “Happy hour is pretty good”. “We played golf until we couldn’t play anymore and we would go to the beach at Bay 13,” Barb added. “I’d wait for the water to get warm so I could get in.” After nearly four decades, their camp is still standing, even surviving a few big storms. “Our camp set-up is starting to fall to bits by now. It looks like a hillbilly’s camp,” Barb joked. “Now the grandkids do it for me. Oscar is in control of what happens.” David said he would recommend all families try a holiday at a caravan park. “We try to sell the place to everyone we speak to,” he said. “I still love Noosa. We’ve got a boat and love fishing. We use the boat to get to Hastings Street because it’s too hard to get a park down there. “The image of a caravanner has lifted a lot. Before, if you were a caravanner you were a basic struggler. Seventeen years ago we spoke to the newspaper and I said we make a good contribution to the town because we all buy our meals, maintenance and petrol here, and it’s to the advantage of the town. “I’m happy that they’ve kept coverage of all types of people in Noosa, from high-rise, to camping, to caravanning and we all contribute.”

It’s odd to be celebrating the Queen’s birthday this weekend, so soon after her death and it always seemed unusual that it didn’t mark her date of birth. The Queen’s actual birthday was April 21, 1926. King Charles III was born on November 14, 1948. When Queen Elizabeth II had her coronation, the event was combined with the Queen’s Birthday public holiday on June 2, similarly to her father King George VI on May 12. In Queensland the holiday officially titled the Birthday of the Sovereign and informally known as the Queen’s birthday has moved about a bit. The Queen’s birthday was shifted in 2012 to October for a better spread of public holidays. It changed back to June in a change of state government in 2013 and Labour Day was moved to October. In 2015 Labour Day shifted to May and it moved back to October. We have yet to learn when it will shift to the King’s birthday, what date it will be then or when the coronation will occur. Whatever the reason for the holiday Noosa is bursting with activities this weekend. There’s an Oktoberfest celebration in Cooroy. The Great Noosa Trail Walk will be highlighting the natural beauty of the hinterland. And artists will be opening their studios and galleries for Noosa Open Studios.

Police still have hoons in sights Quarry owner Martin Cordwell and workers attend the accident scene.

Gravel truck dog trailer rolls, ending up across Pomona-Kin Kin Road.

Gravel spilt from trailer roll over.

Quarry truck spills By Margie Maccoll A Kin Kin Quarry truck rolled on Pomona-Kin Kin Road about 2pm on Monday, blocking the road and spreading gravel across the road and shoulder. Residents reported the truck’s dog trailer came off the road on a corner and rolled, emptying its load. Quarry owner Martin Cordwell and a team of about 10 workers were seen arriving soon after the rollover to clear the spilt gravel from the area. Pinbarren resident Sarah Keating said it was the third accident involving a quarry haulage truck in recent weeks. She said there had been an accident between a truck and car at the corner Louie Bazzo Drive and another accident on PomonaKin Kin Road involving a truck and motor bike. The drivers of the car and motorbike had

been taken to hospital in both incidents, she said. Residents have been waiting for three months on a decision from the Planning and Environment Court on the quarries safe use of the road for haulage in a case initiated by Noosa Council against owners of the quarry, Cordwell Resources, in relation to the number of trucks daily using the road, truck use during school bus travel times, covering of loads and truck convoying. Residents say the number of trucks using the road had increased significantly since the court case final summing up in July. “It’s not safe. They’re doing as much as they can. The quarry is blasting every two weeks. It used to be once a month,” Ms Keating said. “We’ve had so many accidents recently. They can’t let that go on. Someone’s going to die soon.”

Police have continued to target beach hooning during September school holidays between Noosa North Shore, Teewah Beach and the Cooloola Coast as part of Operation Sandstorm. Sandstorm began in 2020, incorporating increased beachside patrols and enforcement activity at the popular tourist spots. Over the weekend of 16-19 September, officers conducted over a thousand Roadside Breath Tests and issued 119 Traffic Infringement Notices (TINs). On 17 September a 22-year-old McKenzie man was charged with mid-range drink driving after he was intercepted at Teewah Beach. He returned a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.123 per cent and is due to appear in Noosa Magistrates Court on 27 September. At Cooloola a 20-year-old Mermaid Beach man returned a positive Roadsie Drug Test (RDT) and was found to have drugs in his vehicle. He was charged with drug driving and possess dangerous drugs, and is due to appear in Noosa Magistrates Court on 25 October. Last weekend 57 Traffic Infringement Notices (TINs) were issued to speeding motorists. This coming long weekend Queensland Police will be out in force targeting a range of driving related offences to ensure the ongoing safety of beach visitors. Sandstorm quick stats: Speeding TINs: 57 Defect TINs: 45 Fail to wear seatbelt TINs: 8 Total TINS – 119 Total RBTs – 1092

Holiday haven: New Vert Ramp ready to ride It’s been delivered in time for the school holidays and the youngsters are loving the new Vert Ramp at Sunshine Beach Skate Park. The $300,000 project has revamped the skate park with a new prefabricated ramp structure and improved texture for skating consistent with those used in international vert ramp competitions. Mayor Clare Stewart said the upgrade replaces a 34 year old structure. “This new surface reduces the maintenance requirements as it doesn’t rust or require painting like the previous steel surface,” she said. “It’s certainly going to provide hours of entertainment for our young community,” she said.

Judging by the crowds this week, it’s already proving a bit hit. The new prefabricated ramp structure includes a modern “Redz” ramp surface made from a phenolic resin and paper laminate. It’s predicted the new structure will have a 20 to 30 year life span. Noosaville youngster Charlie Cee was all smiles after his first run. “It’s so much fun,” he said. Infrastructure Services Director Larry Sengstock said the ramp was much more practical for the Queensland weather. “This surface doesn’t heat up like the old steel surface plus it will provide more grip when wet, “ he said.

The new Vert Ramp at Sunshine Beach is completed.

Housing - the big picture By Noosa MP Sandy Bolton Affordable housing as most know, is an issue I have spoken/written about and raised in Parliament many times over the years including in these columns and had hoped all that needed to be said had been. However, with the Queensland Government announcing a Housing Summit for October, and amendments regarding ‘granny flats’, there is plenty to share, as well ask! This summit is well overdue and like so many others, I scratch my head as I cannot understand why it has taken this long, given the advocacies not only from myself going back multiple years, but also other MPs and the many working within the realm of ‘housing’. These stakeholders, who hopefully will be at the Summit, have been advocating for years on accommodation issues as well how to resolve, and yet here we are. This should concern us all, as if it takes that long to convene a summit, how long will it take for any actions to be realised? This includes an audit of unused state land which we have requested for 3 years now, especially considering the Queensland Housing Strategy 2017-2020 action plan noted that

its very first action was to identify and develop vacant and under-utilised government land. For housing, like other issues, the ‘devil is in the detail’, and you can only get to that detail through questions! Hence seeking clarification from the Premier on who will be at the Summit and the agenda, so all stakeholders who should be there are invited to ensure items that have been submitted previously, including solutions, are included. Unfortunately, Noosa appeared to be impacted by the housing crisis much earlier than other regions. ‘Fortunately’, this gave us a ‘head start’ in resolving, with our formation of the Housing Action Group in 2020, followed by Noosa Council’s Housing Needs Assessment, then their draft Housing Strategy which included community consultation, and an ongoing Housing Roundtable. As posted in Noosa 360 on my website, we have had several really good outcomes from the collective efforts over the last 2 years, with private/public development applications already submitted, an announcement shortly on another site purchase, and a host of initiatives such as one we funded from our office Seeds for Change grants regarding

accommodation sharing. With State planners currently working with Council on options such as upzoning existing state-owned properties, we have appreciated the efforts of all who have sat at our ‘tables’. They have worked with us to pursue all possible options for our electorate (and sometimes beyond!) including emergency accommodations, Help to Home program, and the repurposing/reconfiguring of houses into micro units as examples. Of special mention is the Department of Housing, who ensured anybody coming to our office homeless, even in the worst of the crisis, was always offered a bed and never forced to sleep in a car or tent. Sadly, offers are not always accepted, however that is for another discussion. The recent announcement after our advocacies going back some 5 years that secondary dwellings or ‘granny flats’ can soon be rented to those other than ‘family’ over the next three years is already being celebrated, however again, why has this taken so long? Understandably when State offered for Noosa to ‘trial’ this via a Temporary Planning Instrument in 2021 there may have been concerns that this would create even more STAs instead of permanent rentals, hence why it was not implemented.

However as we know, any new builds can be registered for long term, and any existing I have no doubt have been used for permanents for many years. For anyone concerned that this will ‘blow’ the planning scheme up with thousands being built, be assured that Council could identify that very quickly and address with State, and there is a following review to ensure there are no unintended consequences. As you can see, idleness has not been part of Noosa’s DNA on this crisis, and we have made substantial progress. However, we now need concrete, fast and decisive action by all levels of government, as we have just seen with the ‘granny flat’ amendment, on the remaining issues we are confronted with, including shortage of builders and supply of materials that will hold up both government and private projects. As well, an immediate continuation or alternative to the Federal Government National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) which was introduced in 2008 to provide rentals at least 20 percent below market rates and offered incentives to homeowners. Without such a program, further pressure will be placed on our already overburdened social housing system.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton There have been many initiatives, incentives and disincentives, options and partnerships discussed and actioned within our own meetings, and no doubt they will be raised at the Summit. Many of these you are familiar with, such as consideration for incentivising pensioners to downsize by giving them a full tax break on the stamp duty when selling their house, even if only for a limited time, and a proper analysis on short stay accommodation and consideration of how any impacts throughout Queensland can be mitigated. Others you may not be, such as building codes that those who specialise in sustainable design and construction say are way behind the times and add to the cost of builds! Meeting discussions also included concerns around the perception of ‘affordable housing’ and how you achieve it! One fallacy we tackled was that an increase in land released for building equates to greater affordability. Wrong. As you have seen in high demand areas such as our electorate, this is incorrect, as houses on new land are quickly bid up to unaffordable levels, hence why ‘community managed’ housing is a key strategy for our low-income workforce to retain affordability. As a state and country, we are well below comparable countries in community housing. For example, at 17&percnt; is the United Kingdom, versus 2.9&percnt; in Australia. With existing housing trusts and investment by superannuation funds, we need a realistic plan from

this Summit, and sustained commitment from both Federal and State governments to reach comparable percentages, with local planning law considerations to incorporate options that ensure communities can customise for their needs, with designs considerate of each other’s amenity. The bottom line is we need to ensure that our very own can continue to call Noosa home as their circumstances change, including aging, and we have seen some incredible projects that do just that! Another fallacy or misunderstanding is the perception of ‘who’ lives in community or affordable housing. It’s not, as some online and off have labelled as ‘those’ people, it is ‘our’ people - fathers, sisters, loved ones. Our carers, nurses, teachers and lifesavers. Our fabulous volunteers, those who make our day in a cafe…the list goes on. ‘Not In My Backyard’ (NIMBY, or NYMBYISM!) is an attitude, not a fact, and should be ‘adjusted’ for these efforts on behalf of much-loved members of our community. When we started this housing journey, we knew there needed to be short, medium and long-term solutions. Whilst we have dealt with the emergency period, and have longer-term solutions very much underway, we have the imminent ‘now’, the next couple of years, in which we still need to house our workers and matriarchs and patriarchs. From back when I was a Councillor, and still

very much now, is a need for a modern version of ‘Bougainvillea Gardens’ (Big4), that is home to a combination of permanents (over 50’s) and short-term accommodation via transportable and caravans. How many times we could have used that over the last 2 years! Frustrating? Yes! Similarly frustrating, has been efforts to use a site of many cleared hectares for the last 3 years that has sat unused in a close neighbouring electorate with infrastructure to support transportables. Despite the success of the many of our initiatives, and callouts for residents to headlease a room or a whole house, for landlords to opt for permanent rental versus short term or utilise ‘adopt a worker’ strategies- the reality still is that we need housing for our workers NOW. We are still in a staffing crisis, born from the housing crisis, that is now impacting our businesses and local economy. That is a whole other column, however, of mention are the incredible efforts of many of our organisations and businesses to improve housing for workers in Noosa, including Noosa Care and their untiring efforts to secure staff, now participating in the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) system which includes accommodation for these workers. Back to the Housing Summit. It is wise not to see it as a panacea, as the outcome may be ideas that have already been submitted, are well known and not ‘instant’, including those that will take a large amount of funds to fast

track, attempting to fix the shortfalls of roughly 50 years of under investment in social and community housing. And as to those granny flats? It is not an instant relief either, as any in our communities are already rented out, and any new builds would be months away. What I hope does come out of the Summit ‘must haves’, is a recommendation for an independent inquiry as to why all levels of government failed to make adequate provision to avoid such a crisis, took so long to respond to all our pleas, and what must be put in place to avoid a repeat in the future. So, until a magical urgent ‘solution’ emerges from the Summit, we ask landlords to continue to consider offering properties for permanent rental to our workers whether through the private market or community housing providers, for residents to think of ‘sharing’, those who have been waiting to build a ‘granny flat’ to get on and do so, for permanents, not STAS. And for everyone to continue supporting all efforts as we work our way through the coming months. For anyone needing contact numbers for housing assistance, or to sublet a room or house through a housing provider, please go to https://www.sandybolton.com/keycontacts/ or call our office on 53193100 See you shortly with some of the news I couldn’t yet share!

Property law under review Draft legislation intended to replace Queensland’s outdated property laws has been made publicly available for community feedback. Attorney-General and Justice Minister Shannon Fentiman said the Bill had been developed to modernise property laws in the state with contemporary language that reflected current commercial practice. “Owning and dealing with property, establishing co-ownership arrangements, signing and enforcing lease agreements and managing mortgages are major concerns that affect Queenslanders everywhere, so it is essential that our property laws are modern and robust,” Ms Fentiman said. “The current Property Law Act 1974 has generally served our state well for nearly 50 years, but it’s time for it to be repealed and replaced with modern legislation. “Before we introduce the Bill to the Parliament, we want to hear from stakeholders and interested Queenslanders to better inform policy options that need settling in the Bill. “This is legislation that will most likely ef-

fect everyone in our State at some stage of their lives, so all Queenslanders deserve the chance to have their say.” Ms Fentiman said the Bill had been developed based largely on the recommendations of the Commercial and Property Law Research Centre at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), following its broad-ranging, independent review of current legislation from 2013 –’18. “QUT’s final report made 232 recommendations, the bulk of which are for the repeal of outdated provisions or the redrafting of existing provisions in modern language,” she said. “While QUT’s recommendations have generally been adopted in the Bill, some property industry, legal and academic stakeholders expressed disagreement in certain areas during recent targeted consultation. “To assist the public in considering and commenting on the draft Bill, areas of disagreement have been highlighted in the Consultation Paper so that submissions can been well-informed.” Ms Fentiman said the Department of Justice

and Attorney-General had also recently consulted on a draft Bill for implementing a statutory seller disclosure scheme in Queensland. “The results of that consultation are currently being considered, and it is expected that a new seller disclosure scheme will be incorporated as part of the Property Law Bill 2022,” she said. “However, further consideration needs to be given to whether flooding history information should be included in the seller disclosure statement, so this new consultation will also seek views on that matter as well.” Written submissions in response to the draft Property Law Bill can be emailed to PropertyLawActReview@justice.qld.gov.au. The closing date for written submissions is 5pm on 21 October. Further information is available at justice. qld.gov.au/community-engagement/community-consultation/current Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman

Granny flats for rent: Crisis prompts rules change Homeowners will be encouraged to rent secondary dwellings for the next three years under emergency planning changes expected to house thousands of Queenslanders. Deputy Premier and Minister for Planning Steven Miles said the changes, suggested by stakeholders at the Queensland Housing Roundtable, will remove restrictions on people who can live in secondary dwellings. “Many homeowners have granny flats that they’ve built or converted for family members or teenagers who have since moved

out,” Mr Miles said. “Right now, most homeowners can’t rent secondary dwellings, such as granny flats, to anyone other than their immediate family. “At the same time some Queenslanders are sleeping in their cars or in tents. “It just makes sense to allow existing accommodation to be occupied by someone other than a relative to provide more affordable accommodation for Queenslanders. “It also allows homeowners to earn rent,

helping them meet the increased cost of living. “We can move people in to underutilized granny flats much more quickly than constructing new properties.” Minister for Communities and Housing Leeanne Enoch said it was one of many great ideas raised at the roundtable held ahead of the Queensland Housing Summit next month. “These proposals will provide greater

housing choice and diversity within lower density residential areas to accommodate smaller households such as students, single persons, older people and couple-only households,” she said. Mr Miles said the changes would be reviewed after three years. “Each homeowner will of course need to ensure their secondary dwelling complies with fire and building provisions so accommodation for renters is safe,” he said.

Rental crisis hits home By Margie Maccoll After more than 20 years finding homes for abandoned, surrended and abused animals Noosa RSPCA manager Nicole Cleary is in dire need of a home herself after rent hikes have made it too expensive for her to remain at the Noosa rental she shares with her 26-year-old son. Last year her rent rose $15 but this year it jumped $75 from $545 to $620 while her wages at the not-for-profit organisation haven’t gone up at all. And the rent increase also includes the top up of her bond by $300. Nicole said not only does it make her rent unaffordable, with so many other people in a similar situation, the difficulty is trying to gain even the chance of applying for another rental. “You get 60 people per house (applying),” she said. “They’re asking you to offer more than is advertised and pay six months in advance.” Nicole said she had sent a plea letter to her landlord, explaining she’d had no pay increase, could not afford a rent increase and asking to pay the same amount as the previous year. “I’m happy to accept a rent increase but not that much,” she said. But she believes they’d be happy for her to go, so they could ask $720 a week. Nic said she’d scoured rentals around Noosa and was looking outside the shire. She’s applied to rent units in Maroochydore but was told they already had 35 people on the list and weren’t accepting more applications. To contest her rent increase Nicole said she would have to sign a new lease, pay new terms then go to a tribunal hearing. If she was unsuccessful and then had to break her lease she would be charged a break lease fee, advertising costs, jeopardise the return of her bond and pay double the rent until a new tenant was found.

Nicole Cleary is seeking a home to rent in Noosa so she can continue to look after animals in need. “I don’t know what you do about it,” she said. “I can’t get another job. I don’t want to ask my boss for more money. “I have a job that’s emotionally fulfilling. I love what I do. “I have an adult son whose living with his mum. He doesn’t earn enough to pay more rent. I don’t want my son to have to stay with me so I can afford to live.

“I could share but we’d have to have approval as a component of the rent agreement.” The 57-year-old said she knew she wasn’t the only one in Noosa faced with this nightmare. “You work your whole life and end up in this situation,” she said. According to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) Queensland is experiencing record low vacancy rates with rates in Noosa at 0.8&percnt; and neighbouring

Picture: ROB MACCOLL centres no better. They report vacancy rates at the Sunshine Coast at 0.5% and Gympie at 0.3%. Ray White Noosa River lists median house rentals in Noosa at $700 per week while realestate.com reports their median three-bedroom house rent in Noosa at $850 per week and median two-bedroom unit rent at $627 per week.

Hopes high for habitat By Margie Maccoll

Queensland Koala Crusaders ambassador Meghan Halverson, president Linda Barnes and committee member Kurt Jones. Picture: ROB MACCOLL tree but reject the next one.” Meghan said they hoped the key to their preferential feeding might be found in current research into leaf and soil chemistry. “It’s one of the projects we’re keenly interested in getting involved in,” she said. “What we’re doing is reaching out to universities and people working in research and asking what is your dream project? What do you think needs to happen?” QKC president Linda Barnes said. One project raised is the creation of an App

in which records of koala sightings could be kept and added to by members of the public, she said. The group has been talking to CSIRO about the project and are seeking funding of $200,000 through grants or private funding to cover its costs. “There’s a lot of speculating on how many koalas there are,” Meghan said. “A lot of areas have not been mapped. There are areas where no surveys have been done.” Through the work of the USC Detection

Planting trees, strengthening habitat corridors and increasing the genetic diversity of local koalas are just some of the endeavours in Queensland Koala Crusaders sights in their multi-faceted, collaborative efforts to ensure the survival of the koala, now listed as endangered. Last Sunday, during Save the Koala month, QKC members joined Sunshine Butterflies to plant almost 300 trees at the Alsahwa retreat at Verrierdale in a commemorative act to honour The Queen’s 70 years reign and unveil a plaque to mark the occasion. QKC, which was formed following the Sunshine Coast Koala Summit in 2012, is working with governments, universities and wildlife organisations to advocate for the koala and improve its conservation outcomes. On the ground they are planting koala food trees to restore habitat, rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing sick and injured koalas through the Noosa Region Koala Rescue Group they founded with the assistance of Wildcare Australia, and helping to educate the community about koalas. Through communication and collaboration between stakeholders QKC seeks to facilitate fresh cooperative approaches to the chronic challenges regarding the sustainability of the wild koala as a species. Much work and research is being undertaken by a multitude of groups including the University of Sunshine Coast (USC) with significant projects including the creation by Professor Peter Timms and his team of a vaccine which is currently being trialled, with great success, to treat chlamydia, a sexually transmitted and devastating disease for koalas. “There’s so much more to be done,” QKC ambassador Meghan Halverson said. “We don’t understand what koalas do when relocated. We don’t know why they feed off one

Dogs Conservation Team founded in 2015 by USC researcher Dr Romane Cristescu and Associate Professor Celine Frere USC and drone monitoring as well as help from other researchers and citizen scientists they hope to gain a better understanding of the size of the population. What the group do know is that koalas living in urban areas are suffering with loss of habitat from development, car strikes and dog attacks. Development has restricted their ability to travel across their natural environment to find mates to maintain a healthy genetic diversity. Genetic testing has shown the local koala population are a match, sharing the same genetic make up, Meghan said. The group hopes recent changes to laws allowing the translocation of rescued koalas to be increased from 5km to 50km from their point of rescue, and a research program underway at University of Sunshine Coast (USC) would enable the introduction of rescued juvenile males to breed a more genetically diverse and healthier population. A strong focus for QKC is the planting of trees to re-establish koala habitat. QKC would welcome a Koala Protection Act that would offer greater protection for koala habitat “but getting the government to come on board might take forever” and action is needed now before time runs out for the species. “They need all the help they can get and my hope comes from the many trees we are putting into the ground to connect and regenerate the landscape for koalas and other species,” Meghan said. QKC admit many people they speak to have given up hope of the survival of the iconic species but many have not. “Hope is contagious and so is despair,” Linda said. “If we can’t be hopeful, why are we here.”

Gem of a gift for Katie Rose By Jim Fagan Thirty-six-year-old Kristy-Elle Shepherd lost her year-long fight against Stage 3 cervical cancer on May 14 this year and died at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice with her loving family, the Shepherd’s and the Priest’s, around her. And the family, so moved by the level of compassion and care she was freely given, are donating an 18-carat white gold bracelet packed with diamonds and other precious stones like pink tourmaline, rose quartz and amethyst for the hospice to offer as first prize in an upcoming fundraising lottery. Kristy-Elle’s husband and Noosa Civic jeweller Eliahi Priest (41) of Priest Jewellers told Noosa Today the bracelet, when finished, would be valued at well over $30,000. “Kristy-Elle loved big, chunky pieces of jewellery and we have sent all the material to one of our custom jewellers, Chris Rackley of Sandgate, who is, I believe, one of the best in Queensland. His work is of such high quality, and he does some of our unique and important pieces. “Chris said to me: ‘This is going to close my workshop for two weeks. It is a big piece.’ Eliahi’s family celebrated 75 years in business as jewellers last year. They came to Noosa from New South Wales in 1995 and were a fixture for 25 years at Noosa Village Shopping Centre before moving to Noosa Civic. He said, “The care at Katie Rose is remarkable. It borders on the spiritual. “It is a very heightened time for everyone and to have that level of love and compassion from people who are strangers when you first come in is amazing. Noosa is blessed, absolutely blessed, to have a Katie Rose. We, as a family, came out of there and we thought this sort of thing needs to be everywhere for everyone not just for Noosa.” He said Kristy-Elle’s admission at the hospice was organised through the home

palliative care service. “It was the best option for Kristy-Elle as Katie Rose is just like a lovely home. It is noninvasive for people at the end of life. As a business in the community and as a family in the community we wanted to help the team at Katie Rose and what it does. “Dad had the idea of supporting the raffle and my team member Katelyn and I came up with the Kristy-Elle bracelet. We thought it would attract people to this important fundraiser. “Kristy-Elle was a remarkable 36-year-old. She always lived a healthy life, never smoked, was always exercising but cancer is indiscriminate as to who it goes after. She fought such a courageous battle. Even in pain she was always lovely and strong. “The Priest family so appreciates everything Katie Rose has done for us, and we are delighted to give back for Kristy-Elle with this beautiful bracelet,” Eliahi said. Katie Rose chairman, Carol Raye, said the hospice was extremely proud that its nursing care team was recognised as being so “supportive of our guests and their families at such a difficult and sad time. “Our nurses are the backbone, supported by our carers and volunteers, in all that we do. It is such a privilege to be a part of this time in a family’s journey. “All of us at Katie Rose are especially touched that Kristy-Elle’s family felt our care and support worthy of such a magnificent prize for our next lottery. “This generous donation by Eliahi and his family to honour Kristy-Elle’s life brings an opportunity for the community to support the work that we do at by raising much needed funds for our palliative care nurses,” Carol said. Details on how to purchase lottery tickets will be announced shortly. Donations may be made to Katie Rose online at www.katierosecottage.org.au

NoosaCare leads the way By Abbey Cannan A little support makes a big difference was the theme for Dementia Action Week (19-25 September), and not-for-profit organisation NoosaCare continue to lead the way for the community. They kicked off Action Week with a walk to raise awareness, joined by staff and residents along Noosa River on Friday 23 September. Dementia Australia chief executive officer Maree McCabe AM said, “A little support for people living with dementia really can make a big difference and communities can play a big role in learning more about how they can support people living with dementia.” “This support can include creating physical environments that are more dementia-friendly and improving understanding and awareness of dementia amongst the community and health care professionals.” NoosaCare has been incredible at creating these environments, with their Dementia Cafe, and a new 32 bed, two-storey residential building, welcome centre and cafe designed specifically to support those living with dementia. The dementia cafe runs on a fortnightly basis and is facilitated by Danah Wood from NoosaCare and amazing DementiaLiving volunteers, including Bobby Jory. Bobby, who has been volunteering with the group for five years, said she encouraged everyone to volunteer. “I feel personally that I get back a lot more than I give. Once you volunteer, you realise that there’s a lot of history and a lot of love that these people have to give,” Bobby said. “Everybody needs to be aware that they will be touched by dementia or Alzheimers at some stage of their life. They should learn that it doesn’t discriminate, and to accept the fact that a lot of people living in our community are still isolated due to the diagnosis. There is a lot

But we do need to get more information out there and take away the stigma from the word.” Danah Wood said the Dementia Cafe was getting bigger and better. “We just want the community to know that there is support for them,” she said. “Anyone can come to the cafe, it’s a free service and we will connect them to support groups if they need any further support. We have so much fun at the cafe and create such amazing relationships. “We’re constantly connecting with other community providers to put the right tools out there for people who are going through the

initial diagnosis or progressing further down, for both the carer and the person living with dementia.” NoosaCare chief executive officer Megan De’Elton said they were always thinking outside of the box. “I think that we’re going to start seeing a younger cohort of people living with dementia, from 60 and up. And I think you need to look at the model that you’ve currently got in aged care and you need to adjust it, not only for the new aged-care reforms coming through, but also for the staffing,” Megan said. “We want to be one step ahead of everybody, so it’s important for us to start that whole change process and really bring our residents

So the board is actively reviewing our strategic plan in line with the aged care reform, to see what other services we could potentially implement to support our community. So that’s really exciting.” For more information on NoosaCare’s dementia project and dementia cafe visit noosacare.com.au Head to discrimination.dementia.org.au to find out more about how a little support makes a big difference and how you can be part of the change.

Over 230 walkers will take to the Noosa Biosphere Trails from Saturday 1 to Monday 3 October.

Hundreds set to walk trail The Great Noosa Trail Walk 2022 will celebrate its 10th year running this October long weekend. Over 230 walkers will take to the Noosa Biosphere Trails from Saturday 1 to Monday 3 October to walk 56kms between Cooroy, Cooran, Kin Kin and Pomona. With the support of local businesses The Pomona Railway Station Art Gallery, Black Ant Gourmet, Hinter-Coast Transport, Noosa Hinterland Brewery and the Pomona Distilling Co from these Hinterland Towns, this is a true community event. The event is run by volunteers from the Cooroy Future Group Inc and supported by groups such as the Rotary Club of Eumundi, Cooroy Pomona Lions, Pomona Cooran Cut-

ters and the Kin Kin Community Group, as well as Tourism Noosa, Noosa Council and Queensland Parks and Wildlife. With open borders, the event organisers from Cooroy Future Group Inc can welcome walkers from around Australia, and the usual route has been flipped around which will bring a fresh perspective to the route for those repeat walkers. An amazing team of local volunteer trail guides will walk with the participants over the long weekend to provide insights in to the local area and reassurance on the route. Participants can keep an eye out for koalas, as trail guides have recently spotted koalas during their preparation walks for the event. Attendees will walk through the Noosa

Council’s ‘Yurol and Ringtail Project’. Permanent protection for this important corridor between Cooloola and Tewantin National Park will provide valuable habitat for a range of threatened species including the koala. Part of the rehabilitation for this project includes the planting of suitable trees, particularly koala food trees. For the first time ever, the event will also provide a one day experience, which will give walkers a chance to join in the fun for just one day if they cannot commit to getting away for the weekend.

One of many giant hot dogs yet to be devoured at last year’s eating competition at Oktoberfest, Cooroy.

The Cooroy festival has grown rapidly since its inception with the support of patrons and the community.

Frauleins serving delicious pretzels at Oktoberfest, Cooroy, 2021.

Tapping into Oktoberfest From page 1 Three local breweries, such as Eumundi Brewery, Heads of Noosa and Your Mates Brewing Co. and Alphen Liquor Wholesalers will be providing premium beverages, giving the perfect opportunity to say, ‘Prost!’ But the Cooroy gala is not all about drinking beer. With local businesses and charities coming together to celebrate German culture, it will be a major highlight on the community calendar. “We wanted to do something for Cooroy that involved a lot of businesses out there and to give back to the community with the charities and all the free activities for kids,” Ms Bateman said. Lifeline Cooroy will be parading its fashion on the catwalk and hosting a best-dressed competition for those embracing their inner Bavarian. The charity will also be holding a stall to raise funds to support its 24/7 Crisis Support Line. Hoofbeats Sanctuary, an equine therapy centre in Doonan delivering therapeutic intervention programs for survivors of trauma, will entertain the kids with the popular lob-a-choc game to support their valuable work in the community. Other activities for the kids include a petting zoo, jumping castles, face painting and balloon animals, or they can join the adults in the crowd-pleasing giant hot dog eating competitions. But the festival would not be authentic without the interactive Bavarian shenanigans, such as: Hammerschlagen where contestants compete to hammer nails into a wooden stump. Stein Racing where contestants carry a litre stein of beer without spilling it. Stein Holding competition where contestants hold a litre stein of beer with a straight arm parallel to the ground. The ultimate Strongman weight-lifting competition. Hosted by event organisers German Bakehouse and Saw and Mill Restaurant, Ms Bateman says the Cooroy festival has grown rapidly since its inception with the support of patrons

and the community. “We sat down in April last year with the staff from German Bakehouse and discussed the idea of Oktoberfest,” she said. “It started off as basically a simple picnic and then evolved into this massive event involving communities and charities. “We thought it would be great to do together because German Bakehouse has strong connections with the German community on the Coast,” Ms Bateman said. Coolum manager of German Bakehouse Jacinta Ward says Mr Noack, who will be baking over a thousand pretzels for the event, is looking forward to the festival. “Heritage is very important to Sven and to be able to celebrate Oktoberfest where he lives now is pretty amazing,” Ms Ward said. “There is a big German population on the Coast and so I think it is important to celebrate German culture here,” she said. German heritage on the Sunshine Coast dates back to the late 1800s when German farming communities influenced the development of local communities, notably at Witta (formerly Teutoberg), Buderim and Peachester. According to a 2021 demographic survey of the Sunshine Coast population by.id Informed Decisions, 6.6 per cent are ranked as having German ancestry and 6.1 per cent spoke a language other than English at home — the dominant being German (0.4 per cent of the population). Ms Ward says the Oktoberfest would be enough to lift everyone’s spirits in the community. “Considering what we’ve all gone through these past couple of years with limited events and places to go, I think it’s important we carry tradition, have fun and give something to the community to look forward to,” she said. Sponsored by Aaction Traffic and Noosa Party Hire, the event is from 11am-9pm. VIP tickets are available via Event Brite (search for Oktoberfest Cooroy).

What does snake season mean here By Abbey Cannan With snake breeding season in full swing, Noosa snake catcher Luke Huntley reminds the community of exactly what to watch out for. So what does snake season mean? Do I need to be scared? What should I do? “First off, don’t panic,” Luke said. “Everything’s all good. Snakes aren’t out to chase or kill you. They’re much more interested in finding a mate and having something to eat.” Snake breeding season is roughly between September and November, where male snakes will travel great distances to find the females. “This can be hard, so the females do what’s called ovulating. Basically they put a smell into the air and the boys follow it to find them,” he said. “Sometimes the boys will meet the female at the same time and a fight for the right to mate is on.” Luke said it was easy to spot the difference between fighting and mating. “Fighting will have the combating males out in the open twisted around each other with their heads up, trying to push the other snakes head down. It’s a very violent affair,” he said. “Mating is very different. The male and female will lay down next to each other and their tails (snake bits) will connect. They will be in a secluded spot away from interruptions.” To avoid snakes inside your home, Luke said it’s best to keep doors and windows shut. “Openings like that are a welcome sight for snakes and horrible mosquitoes. Screens are absolutely fine and will keep them out. Apart from that keep the yard open and exposed to minimise snakes and you’ll be fine,” he said.

A man had his 2017 Ford Mustang stolen at gunpoint in Maroochydore.

A massive Eastern brown snake caught by Luke in Noosaville.

Snake breeding season is roughly between September and November.

“If you don’t feel comfortable with the snake on your property or if it gets inside, give me a call. “I’m always happy to come out and relocate it to a more appropriate place. “Keep an eye on the snake and remove any

kids or pets from the area. If you want to leave it, same rule applies and let it go along its merry way.” “Call me if you need me. Myself and my team are based locally and are available 24/7. If you need us call 0499 920 290.”

A report from the public helped Sunshine Coast police find a missing Mustang after a man had his car stolen at gunpoint in Maroochydore. Just after 5am on 21 September, a 57-year-old man was driving a grey 2017 Ford Mustang through the rear carpark of a shopping complex on Maroochy Boulevard when he was cut off by three people in a white Ford utility. Two men passengers exited the ute, one of them producing a firearm and threatening the man, ordering him out of his vehicle. The victim complied and the man entered the Mustang and drove away behind the ute onto Plaza Parade. On 22 September police located the stolen Ford Mustang following a report from the public. Investigations are still ongoing into the initial offence, and members of the public with information that may assist police are asked to come forward.

More than 100 on art trail By Abbey Cannan Queensland’s largest open studio art trail is set to delight Noosa locals and visitors from 1-9 October, as 117 artists unlock the doors to their private studios. Noosa Open Studios Art Trail is an opportunity to be creatively inspired by painters, ceramicists, mixed media artists and other artisans, whilst driving through the picturesque shire of Noosa, discovering back roads and hidden treasures in this wonderful corner of the world. Whilst there, you can learn about the artists’ creative processes, see their work and perhaps even make an art investment to call your own. Now in its seventh year, this is the biggest event yet. One local artist who has been thrilled to watch the event grow over time is Michele Knightley from Boreen Point. She’s been taking part in the art trail since they kicked off in 2016 with just 39 artists. “My whole art practice is about nature,” Michele said. “I get inspired by walking out the front door. I do a lot of paintings of Cooloola National Park and I particularly like native plants. I’ve got big canvases with native scenery and then I’ve also got small things that I do like little wildflower portraits and all sorts of different mediums.” Her gorgeous eco-studio at 34 Woongar Street, Boreen Point was constructed by a local builder out of local spotted gum and recycled timber. It has no power as she prefers to work during the day to get the best colours. “My studio is on the edge of the lake and it’s a nice place to visit anyway, let alone for Open Studios,” she said. “I really would like people to appreciate the natural beauty that we have in Noosa. We’re so lucky and we really need to preserve what’s left of the natural environment.”

Her parents were potters, and she has lived in the Noosa Shire since moving to Tewantin at the age of ten. Michele’s first exhibition was at the Eumundi Tea House while she was still at school, and she went on to spend 20 years selling her pottery at Eumundi markets. When she had kids she switched mediums as the pottery was “too breakable”, so she moved into painting and paper-based work with her eco-dying and Lino prints. Michele sells her beautiful cards and prints at Pomona Landcare and Pomona Gallery, Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre and at the Noosa National Park store. “Life without art would be a bit boring I think,” Michele said. “I think everyone loves it, but some don’t know it yet. Once they buy their first piece, and come home after work to a beautiful piece of art hanging on the wall, it just makes you feel like you’re at home. It’s a personalisation of your space.” Her work is making patients at Sunshine Coast University Hospital feel like they’re at home, after she was commissioned to create 17 large prints. “I’ve had some feedback from people who have been in the hospital and seen my paintings and they’ve contacted me,” Michele said. “I had one young lady from Caloundra who had her first baby and she said ‘I just spent 12 hours staring at your picture while I was in labour and now I want to buy one’. So it was nice that she wanted it as a memento of her birth.” Michele’s studio will be open 10am - 4pm from October 1-9 at 34 Woongar Street, Boreen Point 4565. Street parking available. View all 117 artists over five trails and start planning your trip to Noosa Open Studios 2022 at noosaopenstudios.com.au/art-trail-guide/ For more information on Michele’s art call 0437 479 872, email micheleknightley@gmail. com or visit micheleknightleyartist.com

Kuruvita passion on a plate By Abbey Cannan Renowned chef, restaurateur, and television presenter, Peter Kuruvita, has created a mouth-watering menu featuring abalone and sea urchins to kickstart the future viability of the species and the marine ecosystem. For years, he’s been quietly campaigning for unique wild-caught sustainable Australian seafood to be made more affordable and accessible locally to Australians at home. The initiative is now diving in the deep end, as Peter is joined by Greg Ryzy of Abalone Association of New South Wales (AANSW) and Greg Finn, second generation professional abalone and sea urchin divers and specialists. For an incredible price at just $105, the trio wish you to experience these prized and unique species, while learning how these fascinating creatures are harvested using an ageold technique. Don’t miss the special event on Thursday 13 October, when Alba by Kuruvita in Noosa Heads hosts an evening of seafood decadence, featuring a four-course feast with premium wines. For Peter, his love of abalone goes back decades. “Thirty something years ago when I first met my wife Karen, one of the first things she told me was that she didn’t like seafood,” he said. “I thought, that’s going to be difficult. Our first date was to a restaurant called Golden Century and I ordered an abalone. I guess for someone who says she doesn’t like seafood, to buy her an abalone was probably not the best start. But it ignited a love for seafood and we loved going going back regularly to that same restaurant for years to come.” Over time, the overseas market for this species expanded so much that abalone became unaffordable for Australians. “And now when you ask anybody about ab-

For Peter, his love of abalone goes back decades. alone, they’ve got no idea,” Peter said. “It’s something most restaurants wouldn’t put on the menu due to the price. And if you did go to ChinaTown and buy it, you’re expecting to part with up to $500.” “When you price it out of the range of the average person, that’s fine until the export market collapses. And that’s exactly what happened with Covid. “Australian abalone is prized world-wide. This is a great opportunity for everyone to try a product that has been out of reach for a long time due to its pricing. Along with Greg Ryzy from Abalone Assoc. NSW, Alba is bringing you the opportunity to try beautiful black-lip abalone and sea urchin, along with local Mooloolaba king prawns. “This product is delicious. People will love it once they try it, but it has always been unaffordable for the general population.” With so much abalone in the water, Peter said he hopes to see the ingredient in restaurants all over the country. “Everyone loves a new dish and a new ingredient,” he said.

Grilled and devilled Mooloolaba prawns, masala sauce. At the special event on Thursday 13 October, there will be cocktails to start, followed by four courses with beautiful premium wine to match. “If you’ve got a spare $105, come on down, it’ll be an amazing night. At this price, it is a culinary bargain not to be missed!” Peter said.

Sunshine Coast in awards The first round of judging has been completed and the Sunshine Coast Business Awards are excited to announce the finalists for the 2022 Awards. There are 143 finalists across 17 industry categories including 21 Noosa locals featuring the likes of Team BnB, 99design, NOOSA alive!, Kaali Gourmet Indian Restaurant, Moonstruck Noosa and Youturn. Sunshine Coast Business Awards Chair Jennifer Swaine said this year’s entries were again of a very high calibre, with all entrants doing a lot of work putting their entries together. “I would like to congratulate this year’s finalists and also thank everyone who entered,” Mrs Swaine said. “Past entrants and finalists have told us they found the entry process worthwhile so we hope everyone will use what they learnt about their businesses during the application process to advance them.” Mrs Swaine said now the finalists would enter the next stage of the judging process with interviews taking place over the coming weeks. “In addition to the interviews, Finalists will also have the opportunity to participate in the Masterclass to assist them to make the most of being a finalist.” Mrs Swaine said the Sunshine Coast Business Awards were only possible thanks to many volunteers involved in the awards and the support of sponsors who financially supported them. “The Awards are reliant on sponsorships to ensure we can deliver the program throughout the year, leading to our Gala Awards Celebration in November, and we are delighted to have a record level of support from our sponsors this year, including naming rights sponsor, LPE.” Mrs Swaine also said that all the judges for the awards were highly successful businesspeople, who all volunteered their time to read through the entries and now would participate

Combined that is more than 2.8 million words read, or like reading all seven Harry Potter novels 2.6 times, so it is a lot of work. “We couldn’t provide such a high calibre of Awards without our cohort of experienced

judges, and we are very grateful to all of them. “We now look forward to working with our Finalists as we complete the judging process and are excited as we head towards our celebration gala event that will be held on 12 November at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre. “I would also like to acknowledge the committee members who are also volunteers and

who contribute around 100 volunteer hours a month to deliver the awards year after year.” The Business of the Year winner is chosen from the winners of the categories. Hall of Fame Awards are awarded to those who have won their category three years in a row. To find out more about the Awards visit sunshinecoastbusinessawards.com.au

Model’s big break Eleven years of persistence in the modelling industry has finally paid off for Noosa local Elke Kahler as her career has just taken flight to America - on Qantas Airways to be specific. The 26-year-old recently made the move to the US - one that many models only dream about - after three years of being the face for Qantas helped her take her career from national to international level. “I’ve worked for Qantas on three different occasions over the past four years in numerous digital and print ads, however, the most recent, and my favourite, was an ad shot in Perth which is currently airing,” Elke said. The 2013 Sunshine Beach State High School graduate hoped the move would help take her modelling career to a new high and she was ready and excited to “make a splash” in the commercial market in Los Angeles. “I’m excited to see what opportunities arise for me in the US,” she said. “At this stage I see myself based here for at least three years and I definitely hope to keep working with Qantas in the future, they’re one of my favourite clients.” It’s been a long road to the limelight for Elke though who started modelling from humble beginnings on Noosa’s picturesque beaches to relocating to Bondi Beach just a few years ago. “My parents put me into modelling from about six and I’ve loved it ever since,” she said. “I think my very first job was a print ad in a magazine for the cinema at Sunshine Plaza with my brother. “From there I’ve done a lot of fashion, fitness, swimwear and lifestyle modelling, as well as now having done countless TV and social media ads including being splashed across buses for a national Amazon campaign.” Elke said her key piece of advice for others aspiring to follow a similar path to her own was to never turn down an opportunity. “My advice would be to try and get in front

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK Keep On Dancing ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Even if you’re afflicted with two so-called left feet, no one is ever going to claim that dancing is bad for you. But that doesn’t make this doco any less entertaining and heartwarming. In this two-part special, Myf Warhurst (pictured, Spicks and Specks) sets out to discover if dancing is a shortcut to better health. The music lover presents the experiment following a group of over-65-year-olds as they try to slow the affects of aging through dance training. Under the guidance of choreographer Kelley Abbey (Happy Feet), the group takes on 12 weeks of intensive training, with the crescendo a unique performance for their family and friends.

Former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc (pictured) brings her unique brand of wide-eyed wonder and cheeky commentary to this hands-on reality competition series. The calibre of Giedroyc’s timber-based puns is a joy to witness as 10 British woodworking enthusiasts enter the Welsh woodland workshop for the first time in tonight’s second-season premiere. They will showcase their sawing, turning and joining skills to create dining tables inspired by a country of their choice, hoping to carve out their place in the next round by impressing the new judges, design historian Tom Dyckhoff and wood sculptor Sophie Sellu.

Pink-haired comedian Cal Wilson (pictured) is a perennial favourite guest on this long-running and much-loved musical quiz show. Tonight, Wilson showcases her music knowledge once again before she puts home bakers to the test as the new co-host of The Great Australian Bake Off. She’s joined by former The Voice Australia contestant Thando and one half of the electronic music duo Peking Duk, Reuben Styles, along with fellow stand-up Nath Valvo. Host Adam Hills and Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough banter in the way only old friends can, before a stirring performance from Melbourne-based international outfit Ausecuma Beats.

The writers of 9-1-1 are a creative bunch. Pumping out disaster stories ranging from the silly to the obscene, the title for the premiere of season six can only be seen as unashamedly tongue-in-cheek. In “Let The Games Begin”, viewers will no doubt be expecting the unexpected and, as usual, 9-1-1 delivers over-the-top disaster fare. Athena (Angela Bassett, pictured) and the 118 must rise to the challenge when a blimp encounters mechanical failure and its engine catches fire outside a jam-packed sports stadium. Meanwhile, emotions run high when Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) go to couple’s therapy.

Board Meeting raises bar By Phil Jarratt A record crowd of more than 600 helped the Board Meeting charity celebrate its 10th anniversary at Twin Waters last Friday by raising almost $100,000 to help out Sunshine Coast families in need. But no matter how deep the lunching revellers dug into their pockets as surfboards and surf art fetched crazy prices at auction, no one would have left feeling they didn’t get their money’s worth. Apart from the obvious feel-good factor of helping founders Mark and Bev Skinner make a difference in the lives of so many needy local kids, the reason was that keynote speaker Shaun Tomson, the 1977 world professional surfing champion, proved once and for all that he is not only surfing’s greatest orator, but can stand tall as a speaker in any company. Shaun held the audience in his thrall for more than two hours, joined by good pal Rabbit Bartholomew, who succeeded him as world champ in 1978, for a robust final session, moderated by MC John Charlton. But this was far more than old surfers relating tales from their long-gone glory days. Shaun took us on a wild ride through the highs and lows of his adventurous life, culminating in what he has done since hanging up the competitor’s jersey for the last time 20 years ago. To be honest, life coaches and self-help gurus are not really my cup of tea, but Shaun Tomson has so perfected his low-key approach to moving seamlessly from life story to life lessons that you hardly notice you’ve been blindsided. For me the realisation that I’d been well and truly Shauned came when I found myself willingly writing an “I will” affirmation and texting it to be flashed up on the big screen along with hundreds of others. I think mine was: “I will try to be a less grumpy old man.” It was a remarkable gathering of the surfing tribe, from octogenarian pioneer Hayden Kenny down to pre-teen tee shirt designers, with a whole bunch of surf champions in the middle, but the Board Meeting lunch was also an opportunity to show the general community that surfers care about more than the next wave.

It’s always best to do nothing I would like to have seen the police respond to the protesters in Melbourne, on Thursday last, burning the nation flag, foul language used to denigrate our late Queen, in the same way they responded to those people whom left their homes during the Covid lock down. No shortage of force or equipment that day. But of course one must be careful not offend anyone. Barry Simpson, Noosaville

PLANNING 101 -- “What’s the purpose of a development approval” While most people realise you shouldn’t go to a real estate agent to get planning advice, comments made by a prominent Noosa agent in last week’s front-page article are just so flawed that they need correction. Mr Neyland poses the question “What’s the purpose of a development approval” and then goes on to suggest it is just about “determining the type of the building that gets built” and implies that Council in some way errs by using the process to “determine how it can be used”. While Council does consider amenity and aesthetics within the development approval process, the primary purpose of a Planning Scheme is regulating land use, not structures. The purpose of the Planning Act is to establish “an accountable system of land-use planning” that ensures development assessment “facilitates the achievement of ecological sustainability”. The Act outlines that ecological sustainability is a balance that integrates the ecology, economy and social well-being of people and communities. This involves making decisions to build healthy and liveable communities. That’s why Council has taken steps to ensure short stay accommodation requires impact assessment in residential zones in the Noosa Plan 2020. Our focus for visitor accommodation is in the Tourist Accommodation Zone. The Planning Act stipulates standard definitions, in this case there is one for a ‘dwelling house’, which allows the residential use of a premises, and another for ‘short-term accommodation’, which provides for accommodation of less than three consecutive months for tourists or travellers. If you don’t have existing use rights you need apply for a “Material Change of Use”, not a ‘material change of building appearance’. The new council short stay local laws are designed to protect the amenity of those living in residential precincts. Just like speed restrictions, the local law is about setting responsible standards for operators of commercial short stay premises. Council understands the importance of peaceful residential enclaves, where suburban life is protected and valued. So that’s why Noosa Plan 2020 and the Local Law both prioritise the wellbeing of our residents. Brian Stockwell, Noosa councillor

melting, the major cause of sea level rise is that water molecules jiggle faster when given extra energy, and move further apart, so increased temperatures cause water to expand, and that is the major cause of sea level rise. The earth’s atmosphere acts like glass in a green house, allowing short wave electromagnetic radiation from the sun to penetrate and strike the earth’s surface. These waves are then radiated back as heat, which has a longer wavelength. Certain gases in the atmosphere: water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide absorb this heat energy, and radiate it in all directions, including back towards the earth, hence heat energy is trapped, and maintains our environment at a liveable temperature. However, the amount of the three later named gases in the atmosphere has increased steadily since the industrial revolution. CO2 by 47&percnt;, Methane by 156&percnt; and N2O by 23&percnt;, meaning that more heat is being radiated back to earth and hence we are experiencing increasingly hotter weather. Increased atmospheric temperatures have subsequently affected our weather patterns, bringing more intense flooding, droughts, and more frequent hurricanes. The science has long been in, and all the factoids in the world will not alter that reality. We need to deal with it. Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Dangerous contraptions Scientific intellectuals of the Flat Earth Institute report that solar panels increase the infrared spectrum of freckles; electric vehicles cause haemorrhoids (Ley’s Law) and wind farms will blow the Earth off its planet. Will the proliferation of these dangerous contraptions be stopped? Just asking. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Hard to believe what you cannot see One correspondent (NT 23/09) shocks us by

saying that she cannot notice a rise in sea level since her last visit here 50 years ago. I bet she also did not notice, since her last visit, that the level of CO2 has increased by over 33&percnt;, the moon has moved about 1.25m further away, the average ambient temperature has increased by just over 1 degree and that all of her body cells have been replaced about 6 times. The sea actually is about 18 cm higher. Our visitor can easily be dismissed as an outlier on the spectrum of confusing perception and intuition with evidence but we all do it. I, for example, do not know that the toothpaste I use is any better than others. But her comments raise the importance of trusting science over our limited senses. We just are plain not good at perceiving long term changes around us. It requires quite sophisticated equipment to do so and to warm us about things that are coming. That’s why the scientific method is so good. It can predict things. A sense of the common good, community spirit and cooperation are traits that seem to be missing from some of your correspondents the week before. They put the argument that “Australia only produces less than 2&percnt; of the world’s fossil carbon dioxide so anything we do here in Australia will mean nothing and it will cost us jobs, income from exports and more expensive power”. Imaging if each voter, soldier, or potential litterer thought that way. No one would vote because each vote is so tiny amongst all the others. Soldiers wouldn’t go to defend their country because each one of them makes such a little difference. The roads would be covered with litter because each person believes they contributes so little of the lot. For the world’s highest per capita producer of CO2 (Australia, and not counting all of the fossil fuel we export) to cut production down to 50&percnt; of their 2005 level would be world leading and set the example for other nations.

After all, the combined CO2 produced by all the nations that produce about the same amount of CO2 that we do make up more than half of the total. So, it would make a difference! It is well established that electricity from renewable energy is far less expensive than fossil fuel power (and has been since 2017). Renewables with storage are more reliable than coal, oil or gas and are able to meet increased demand instantly, opposed to the others that take up to half an hour to ramp up. There is no need, what so ever, to build a fossil fuel power plant ever again, especially in emerging nations. Renewable power plants are cheaper and faster to build and much cheaper to run. They also generate more jobs per KWH. And, to answer one concerned correspondent, there is intense effort to make windmill blades and solar panels recyclable. I don’t know where Denis Ives (16/09) gets his information. He claims that the AEMO warns that there are serious security risks with renewable power. Their most recent publication is a report to “get cracking on rapid renewable roll-out”. It doesn’t sound like a warning to me. Besides renewable energy is far more secure than a few large power stations subject to sabotage or supply of fuel. Finally, a person should be advised to distinguish between what they know and what they think. Before Galileo in the 1500’s founded the scientific method, knowledge was based on what people thought, and society advanced very slowly because what many thought often did not turn out to be true. When science became the mode of operation, knowledge could be verified and the living standards of people rapidly began to improve. Too many folks contributing to these pages, seem to think a lot but don’t know so much. Steve Hall, Cooroy

Council sets future course Council is about to give its Corporate Plan an overhaul. While legislation requires councils to develop Corporate Plans, it is also an opportunity to set a direction for the organisation for the next five years. With so much change in recent years it’s pertinent that we review the Corporate Plan and the direction of the organisation. The new plan will provide a 2023-2028 blueprint for the Shire. There will be a series of community workshops, an online survey and session with the industry to ensure we get a good cross section of input. With assistance from Nicholson Sheehan Consulting group, this new plan will reflect the community’s changing needs and priorities. Community consultation will start in the next few weeks with a focus to have the plan adopted in January 2023. The new Corporate Plan will help guide Council’s decisions every day and outline key strategic issues or projects Council will prioritise and advocate for on behalf of the community. Recently, I ventured to Canberra as part of the Council of Mayors (SEQ) first official visit to Parliament House since the election of the Albanese Government. Over the course of two days we met with 18 Ministers, Shadow Ministers, Senators, Leader of the Opposition and Chief Advisors to the Prime Minister and Treasurer. Topics included natural disasters, climate change, the importance of skilled migration and the importance of collaboration between all levels of government. The Brisbane 2032 Games present an enormous opportunity for all levels of government to respond in a co-ordinated way to some of the many challenges our SEQ region is currently experiencing. Challenges include housing availability and affordability, attracting skilled labour and critical investment in infrastructure to improve connectivity. Dealing with population growth and tackling traffic congestion will continue to be one of our combined region’s greatest economic,

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart social and environmental challenges. Without significant support from other levels of government we will struggle to cater for this

growth let alone the additional load the Brisbane 2032 Games will bring. SEQ is the fastest growing region in Australia and councils are

the ideal delivery partners when it comes to investment in this region. It’s important that Noosa has a seat at the table and a voice in these discussions. As one of the 11 SEQ councils working together as part of the Council of Mayors (SEQ), we are now involved in the shared commitment to improve the region. To deliver better outcomes for the business sector and wider community we need to work collaboratively. Noosa Councillors, by committing to join the SEQ Council of Mayors, have stood up for the Shire and highlighted the important role Noosa plays in the future prosperity of Queensland while still maintaining our uniqueness and what makes Noosa so special. Closer to home, our operational and capital works continue to forge ahead. Works start on 3 October 2022 on remedial tree pruning and removal along Walter Hay Drive from south of Noosa Civic to the Emu Mountain Road roundabout. Work will take around six days to complete, weather permitting. The new vert ramp at Sunshine Beach Skate Park has been installed and is now open. The new surface has an improved texture for skating consistent with those used in international vert ramp competitions and the ramp will perform better in the tough Qld weather and not heat up like the old steel surface. Finally, the application period is now open for the first round of Noosa Council’s Community Disaster Response and Recovery Grants.

Australia’s Local Hero to inspire at zero waste breakfast People, place and planet will combine in Venue 114’s next signature In Conversation event. In Conversation – Life Repurposed will feature special guest OzHarvest founder and chief executive officer, Ernst and Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year and Australian Local Hero of the Year, Ronni Kahn. Scheduled for Friday 7 October, at Venue 114, Bokarina, this will be a breakfast not to be missed. After a successful career in corporate events, and after a visit to her country of origin South Africa, Ms Kahn was galvanised into action and embark upon a challenge to make a difference to people’s lives. Ms Kahn established OzHarvest in 2004 and was instrumental in changing food waste legislation across Australia, allowing the organisation to deliver more than 218 million meals to women, children and men in need – while also rescuing over 72,000 tonnes of food from ending up as landfill and waste. Listen to her inspiring keynote speech as she reflects on her journey to find purpose in life and in business. Ms Kahn is feeling energised and looking forward to sharing how to channel her skills, knowledge and passion to contribute to a greater good. “Living a life with purpose is our birthright,” Ms Kahn said. “I’m committed to shining a light on where it is we find our purpose.” Ronni Kahn will be joined by special guests including MC Deb Caruso who is a local publishing legend with a passion for slow food, and a panel of local change agents

who are creating a greater good through doing things differently: Christine Ballinger, Farm Manager at The Falls Farm. Naomi Elliot, General Manager at Concept Labs. Tracey Morris, CEO of charity No More Fake Smiles. Alana Kennedy, founder of Ochre Sun. Venue 114 manager Louise Thompson said sustainability was “at the core of who we are and how we operate at Venue 114”. “As one of only two venues on the Sunshine Coast which has acquired EarthCheck Evaluate status, we continue to implement sustainability initiatives and endeavour to educate and empower our community by curating impactful In Conversation events,” Ms Thompson said. Echoing the event’s theme, guests will enjoy the exquisite flavours of a local, seasonal, ethical and zero-waste menu curated by much-loved local caterers, Penfolds Catering. Walk away inspired, with new connections, crafting your own story of purpose and supporting innovative, positive change.

Noosa welcomes a legend The Boy from Oz – tells the dazzling, funny and moving story of the life of legendary Australian entertainer and songwriter, Peter Allen. From humble beginnings in the 1950s, growing up in Tenterfield NSW, to his catapulting rise to fame as a global phenomenon. Peter was singing in country pubs at age 11. He survived family tragedy, to become a teenage TV star. Discovered by Judy Garland, he married her daughter Liza Minnelli and went on to achieve international stardom as a performer and song writer. Director, Ian Mackellar has assembled a vibrant and talented cast and can’t wait to present the show in October- November at Noosa Arts Theatre. Choreographer Nicole Kaminski breathes life into some great show-stopper numbers and Lighting Designer Travis Macfarlane weaves his magic into a stirring lighting design. Ian’s vision is to pay homage to the SingerSongwriter and Entertainer that was Peter Allen. His lyrics are emotional and poignant and his music stirring and memorable says Ian. Get ready for a toe-tapping, vibrant musical that includes many of Peter Allen’s best loved hits: ‘Quiet Please, There’s a Lady On Stage’, ‘Not the Boy Next Door’, ‘Everything Old is New Again’, ‘I Honestly Love You’, ‘I Still Call Australia Home’, ‘Tenterfield Saddler’ and the ‘showstopping ‘I Go to Rio’. This fast-paced production also includes some wonderful – production numbers complete with dazzling costumes designed and made by Margaret Courtney. The Boy from Oz will take the audience on an emotional, humorous and entertaining journey celebrating the life of Peter Allen and paying tribute to stars like Liza Minnelli and the late great, Judy Garland. The production features multiple highlighted moments and showcases the wonderful array of talent we

Steve Kilbey to Eumundi from The Church

Steve Kilbey, frontman of The Church, to play at Eumundi.

Tickets are now on sale for what will be a night of nostalgia with Steve Kilbey, frontman for Australian dreamy psychedelic rock pioneers, The Church. Steve will be performing in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 14 October, supported by Alys Ffion. Steve Kilbey is Australian contemporary music royalty. A prolific artist, he has written, performed and produced over 22 solo albums, 30 with rock legends The Church, and frequently collaborates with notable artists worldwide. His creative oeuvre spans 45 years, and includes three books, 750 songs, pages of poetry and hundreds of paintings. For the Eumundi performance, Steve will be performing all The Church’s singles from 1980 – 1992, bringing his diverse and iconic

The

discography to life and honouring one of Australian music’s most cherished catalogues. Playing hits from this extensive back catalogue, the set list will include: She Never Said, The Unguarded Moment, Too Fast for You, Tear It All Away, Almost With You, When You Were Mine, It’s No Reason, Electric Lash, Metropolis, You’re Still Beautiful, Ripple, Feel and Under The Milky Way just to name a few. Supporting Steve on the night is singersongwriter Alys Ffion, who has returned to the Sunshine Coast with more to say than ever before. In the past 12 months alone, the songbird has seen success as the pen behind #1 Country radio hit Get it Girl by Sunshine Coast alumni Taylor Moss, and I Move Slow on Jimmy Barnes’ most recent release. After 10 years dedicated to honing her craft and living between Nashville, LA and Australia, Alys’ deeply personal storytelling

style paired with an intricate knowledge of alternate guitar tunings has made her a soughtafter musical collaborator on an international level. The prolific songwriter emerges from a five-year hiatus rearing to release her own music as an independent artist for the first time in her career. Reintroducing herself with the heartfelt confessional I’ve Never Loved Anyone and the uncomfortably honest Please Don’t Say Hi (both efforts in collaboration with Jay Bovino - ARIA Award winning songwriter, producer and founding member of Sheppard), Ffion makes it plain that she’s here to tell her own story - on her own terms now. Tickets to the 18 plus, seated show are $45 (plus booking fee) through Oztix. Doors open 7.30pm.

Hammer’s pants-seat ride By Phil Jarratt Although his four published books since his 2018 crime fiction debut have all been international bestsellers, author Chris Hammer still regards himself as a writer with L plates on, a “pantser” rather than a “plotter”. The pantser description, he told writer Susan Chenery a couple of years ago, comes from “seat of the pants” which he says is how his plots develop, their creator never knowing exactly what is going to happen on the next page. He says he threw away at least 100,000 words to get to the final version of Scrublands, his first novel. If that’s the case, it certainly wasn’t wasted effort, because for my money that book is the very best so far of its genre – Aussie bush crime. Hammer, now 62, is something of a Covid phenomenon, with his three follow-up novels, Silver, Trust and Treasure And Dirt, all having sold like crazy while we were mostly in lockdown. The real test might come with The Tilt, published in Australia post-Covid (more or less) next week, but I rather think that he might have already become an acquired habit for many readers. Forgive me a trace of envy here, but Chris Hammer’s overnight smash success, with sales to die for and more literary awards than he can possibly fit in the pool room, is enough to make a mere toiler in the field smash down the lid of his Remington manual and go surfing! Admittedly, success did come fairly late in life, but no one was more surprised than the author himself. After more than 30 years as a TV and print journalist, dividing his career between covering

Hammer and The Tilt.

Chris Hammer. Australian federal politics and international affairs, including stints with SBS TV, and Canberra-based political correspondent for The Bulletin, The Age and Fairfax Online, Hammer had just taken a job as a political advisor with Labor MP Stephen Jones when a publisher made him an offer for Scrublands he couldn’t refuse. He laughed, he cried, then he went in and resigned. A little hasty perhaps, but within a couple of months he’d signed an international publishing deal and a television deal. Hammer’s fifth thriller, The Tilt, will be published in Australia next week, with the author making his only Noosa appearance at a literary lunch at Pitchfork restaurant in Peregian next Thursday, 6 October, where he’ll be in conver-

Pictures: SUPPLIED sation with author, artist and former Noosa mayor Tony Wellington. As the publisher blurbs, this novel “follows newly minted detective Nell Buchanan, who returns to her hometown to follow up a decades-old murder. It’s no ordinary cold case, though, with a harrowing investigation bringing dangers to the present. Gripping and multi-layered with atmospheric quality, the story will have you in its thrall.” I’m sure it will, but I rather miss the love-hate relationship I developed with Hammer’s first invented detective, the deeply troubled Martin Scarsden and his wild gal Mandalay. The author introduced Detective Ivan Lucic in Trust, his third book and gave him a

female assistant Nell Buchanan, in Treasure And Dirt, his fourth. Lucic is also apparently back with Nell in The Tilt, although since the publisher doesn’t mention him in the blurb, (spoiler alert!), I can only imagine he quickly becomes one of the many corpses that litter Hammer’s bloody pages. As well as blood and guts, Hammer is particularly fond of taking his protagonists back to the old home town, which gives him the opportunity to utilise his quite magical skills at putting you in a place, making you feel the heat and dust or the salty grim of a port, as well as revealing character traits hidden in the past. See, I’ve already talked myself into it. Chris Hammer in conversation with Tony Wellington, is presented by Annie’s Books On Peregian, from 12 noon Thursday 6 October at Pitchfork, Peregian Beach Village. Tickets $70 include two-course lunch and welcome glass of wine. Bookings essential: 5448 2053 or info@ anniesbooks.com.au

Creative experience: Living forces at Pomona Gallery Dianne McInerney is exhibiting her exciting glass and painted works at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery during October. Dianne says the experience of contemplating the splashing waves on the beach relaxes her and helps her become one with nature. Her show pays homage to the sea. “Glass is transformational,” Dianne says of her slumped kiln-formed sculptured glass works. Her show “Living Forces” is on show in the Carriage Room from 1 October to 2 November, with its formal opening at 11am on Saturday 15 October. Meanwhile in the Banana Shed, artist Lee Birch is undertaking a solo show. Lee is an intuitive artist and the creator of joy-filled art workshops at beautiful Cooroy. Her art journey is one of a love of vibrant colour and the healing that this can bring to both the artist and the viewer. She uses art to express emotion and to tap into her own intuition and body sensations, allowing them freedom through choice of and the stimulation of colour. Lee’s exhibition is from 24 September until 26 October.

Dianne McInerney’s solo exhibition Living Forces is at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery during October. Pomona Railway Station Gallery is on this year’s Noosa Open Studios art trail, and is located at 10 Station Street Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.

Lee Birch’s intuitive art is at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery until 26 October.

Busking good move The Noosaville Business Association and Noosa Heads Rotary held the Sounds on Noosa Foreshore - Noosa Busking Championships earlier in the year along the beautiful Noosa River Foreshore. This event is so well supported by both local business sponsors and the viewing public, that

for the last couple of years it has been able to make a sizeable donation to its chosen charity. This year’s worthy cause is the Noosa and Hinterland Rotary Flood Appeal, and the $5000 donation will go towards helping a single mother in the hinterland repair access to her property after her drive was washed away.

Presenting the donation on Friday 23 September were Noosaville Business Association committee members Stephanie Clunies-Ross and Caroline Edington, Anne and Tony Oxley, the Noosa Busking Event Founders to Rotarians David Bell, Geoff Bone, and Tex Pipke on behalf of the Noosa and Hinterland Combined Rotary Clubs.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes tried their paw at painting with Frida’s Sip n’ Paint Noosa, had a play in the zone with Wunderdogs, learnt some manners with Salty Pack dog training and enjoyed some treats from Hugo’s Doggy ice cream and even Muttinis from Peticular. The Peregian Springs Veterinary surgery and RSPCA was on hand and Smart Pups showcased the talents of their assistance dogs. And there was entertainment for the humans as well.

SPORT

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Perfect catch conditions What a turn out for the books with some simply perfect days. The sun is out and the temps are on the rise. This has got some quality fish moving, especially inland and on the estuaries. Offshore we have had a mixed bag of conditions ranging from a solid mid-week swell to variable winds building in the late morning. For those offshore ,snapper are still very much on the menu as are pearl perch. We have also had a few reports of school mackerel out in the deeper water of the banks. With most of these fish sitting close to the bottom those anglers dropping baits on 8 ball sinkers and snelled octopus hooks are doing well. Of course, the humble pilchard floater has picked up a few longtail tuna in the 3-4kg size which make great eating. We have also seen a few good sized cobia around 6-8kg and again perfect eating size. Given that mackerel are around, we can only assume they will continue to make their presence felt. This makes having a pack of Superflex single strand game wire handy for times when mono isn’t enough. If you need to learn how to tie a haywire twist, make sure you ask us how as this is how to attach hooks to this wire and requires no tools. From the surf there are still a few tailor passing through the river mouth at dawn and dusk. Gang hooks in the 3/0-5/0 size are preferred with many options from Halco that even come with a short wire trace attached. From here you can use ocean stream bait elastic to secure a pilchard for big powerful casts and stop small fish running away with your bait. For those fishing the daytime we are seeing bigger whiting and bream showing up in the inshore gutters. To make things better why not pick up a bag of pre-made iCatch burley pel-

lets and throw small handfuls into the surf to really fire up the fish. Inside the river, flathead continue to hang around the mouth along with some big bream. Both of these fish can be caught on pilchards, mullet, whitebait and squid baits. Lure angler swill do well with soft plastics and the new Keitech colours are in making the 3 inch easy shiner a great go to. When fishing soft plastics, make sure you use a loop knot to give your plastic the best action. We always talk about action in lures and presentation, and this helps a lot. While you are at it you can also try using scent from Pro lure. These gel scents stay on very well and have helped many a novice angler catch trophy fish. Further upriver can be a lure fisherman’s paradise with lots of snags to cast at. Beyond the lakes opens out to several kilometers of pristine waters with trevally, jewfish and mangrove jacks calling it home. Beyond this you can fish the mouth of Lake Cootharaba for flathead or head even further across the lake and enter the everglades to fish for wild Australian bass which will start to fire up with the warmer weather. Up here a well-placed Tiemco cicada lure will get crunched! No matter where you fish this holidays things are warming up along with the fishing. 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.

Gardening guru Phil Dudman takes a sustainable look at life with ERLE LEVEY.

Life’s what you put into it Grow your own food, says gardening guru Phil Dudman. It’s easier than you might think. We were speaking at the Queensland Garden Expo and the larger-than-life horticulturalist and garden designer was touching on subjects ranging from flood relief to mulching, from citrus growing to tomatoes. As home gardeners, we can choose from an amazing array of heirloom tomatoes of different shapes, colours, flesh textures and flavours, from which many growers can save their own seed. And they are such a versatile crop for use in the kitchen from salads to frittatas to sauces. Funnily enough, this same crop is arguably responsible for causing gardeners more heartache and frustration than any other... “Why can’t I grow a good tomato?” It’s one of the most common queries Phil is faced with. So, it’s not just me. Much of the growing success comes down to selecting the right tomato variety for your local conditions as well as knowing a few localised tricks that can only come from years of growing experience. Phil has a way with words. As a gardening writer, presenter on radio and TV, and a passionate environmental and organic gardening campaigner over the past 20 years, he has contributed to many of Australia’s leading gardening magazines, written three books for ABC Books and worked as a TV presenter. His backyard patch is Lismore, Northern New South Wales, which has been devastated by a series of floods this year. This highlighted the need for secure supply chains with supermarkets running out of stock - just like during the Covid pandemic at its height. At the same time corner shops were stocked with local produce and there were neighbourhood food exchange systems - similar to the bartering of old. People would swap fresh milk and butter with garden produce such as lettuce, asparagus, potatoes or tomatoes. “It’s good to see more and more people coming on board because we need that kind of thinking, and you know even the entrepreneurial approach to make our local food systems more resilient … it offers some kind of level of food security. “We’ve seen recently how vulnerable we are to problems.’’ The issues around Covid were driven by the fossil fuel industry, Phil said. A lot of fertiliser is needed for large-scale farming and there are a lot of logistics involved. “If you need a lot of imports, then you have to cart the stuff all over the country and use a lot of resources - to chill it and keep it going, and it’s not necessarily nutritionally of the highest quality. “Food tastes much better when you have just picked it. “If you can wrap your teeth around a corn cob while it is still on the plant, you’re in heaven.’’ It’s the same with tomatoes. So why do I have trouble with some of the larger varieties, most recently Roma tomatoes? The cherry tomatoes are great on the coast but even they can be susceptible to a black spot. “Well, the thing about tomatoes is timing,’’ Phil said. “You have got to think about where tomatoes grow well. “They tend to grow really well in a classical Mediterranean climate - you go to Italy and see all these tomatoes - it tends to be a sunny but dry atmosphere. “If we try to grow them in summer here, it’s the humidity from heavy rainfall but in winter it’s warm enough during the day to grow them really well. “That’s probably the best option because there’s no pests around in winter. “Plant them in autumn, especially the Roma variety as I’ve got some huge winter crops. Another option is to grow them in spring.’’ To keep them pest-free, as soon as the fruit starts to form you can put a pest exclusion bag over it - that could be as simple as a paper bag, Phil said. 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 September, 2022

Food tastes much better when you have just picked it. If you can wrap your teeth around a corn cob while it is still on the plant, you’re in heaven.” That brings us to composting and if you think you are going to have a good food garden, you need to be a good compost maker. “You can’t make too much of it … it becomes very addictive once you figure it out and get it right. “Making compost becomes a way of life. “It’s a part of my blooming routine. “Every day I probably visit my site three times … minimum. “It’s because of the way I’ve set it up. “My grandfather came from the UK and he was annoyed at gardeners tilling the soil. “I don’t turn the soil at all - sometimes I’ll open it up but I just put newspaper down and compost in say a 3cm to 5cm layer on the surface.’’ Start by mowing the chosen area quite short, then spread a little blood and bone about to activate the soil. After that, cover the area with wet newspaper about six sheets thick.

“That’ll form a barrier that smothers out grass and weeds. Just make sure you overlap the paper so there are no gaps. “Next we’re creating our new soil. I start my mulch from scratch. “The best way to do it is to have a bay at least a cubic metre in size or even bigger. “I prefer an open system, one in which you will be layering new materials in there. “You’ve got things that break down quickly - things like grass clippings, pruning, vegetable scraps, manure, straw, woodchip shavings, newspaper, cardboard. “You layer the damp and the dry layers in equal sizes and they build up your heat.’’ I asked Phil about his 30 years of gardening, and what changes he has seen in Queensland gardens in that time … is it still gerberas out the front and old tyres around the palm tree? The first big change was water features, Phil said. “I think design has become a thing that we

finally realising it is important, not just for visual interest but for practicality - so the advice of a good designer is really worthwhile, especially if you’re starting out. “If you have no experience in designing a house, you wouldn’t just go and have a go at it and hope that it’s all going to fit and work. “You want it in the right place and to optimise the location. “It’s the same with a garden - you know the place and you will spend a lot of time there. “You can have a go yourself, but it’s great if you have someone who can give you some advice on where to place things and how to make things flow, how to make the most of your small or large space. “You’re going to have a garden that you will really enjoy being in and that you’re not going to have to change one million times. “If you’re going to be at home you may as well enjoy it … that’s the same as in your house.

“We are in Australia and it is an outdoor lifestyle. We all want to be in nature, so why not create your own piece of nature in your backyard. “I feel like I’ve created my own paradise so it’s my hobby, it makes me feel good and I get to eat what I’m growing - it’s like, I’m a happy man.’’ Phil has got a 770sq m block in East Lismore - between the city centre and the suburbs. It’s not a big property but he grows 75 percent of his vegetables and fruit. It’s all about these no-till techniques that he uses. This results in less effort and more enjoyable gardening. What about weeds? “For years we were getting an explosion of weeds. I used to dig the soil to make the beds look nice but was creating the conditions for the weeds to flourish. “Now I am not disturbing the soil and actually burying the weed seeds by putting the compost on top - you’re not bringing them to the surface.’’ Born in Brisbane, Phil moved to Sydney and with his wife took off overseas to travel in Europe and South east Asia. That was in the late ‘80s and the trail included dysentery in Kathmandu, Bali belly, Delhi belly. “I really didn’t discover horticulture until my late 20s when I was studying architecture in Sydney. “We had a band as well - Phil Dudman and

this whole thing … and can’t wait to go and try it.’’ PHIL’S TOP EASY-TO-GROW EDIBLES Lettuce – Very little bothers lettuce. As long as you feed and water lettuce well, you’ll enjoy lots of crisp and delicious leaves for your salads. Growing loose-leaf varieties such as mignonette allows you to pick off outer leaves as you need them. Plant a few seedlings every 2-3 weeks to ensure an ongoing harvest. It will grow in all but the hottest and coldest weather. Beans – Climbing or pole beans make a happy low-maintenance crop as long as you provide a decent frame or trellis to support them. Pick the beans regularly to keep plants productive. Bush beans are also very productive, but they are short-lived so plant fresh seed every month or so for an ongoing supply. Beans are very happy in warm conditions. Grow snake beans in hot weather. Asian Greens – Easy, space-saving and fastgrowing. They’re also one of the simplest vegetables to grow from seed. Seeds germinate in a few days and with good care, you can have something to harvest within 4-6 weeks. Sow seeds once a month for a continuous and satisfying harvest. Cool to warm weather is the best. Cucumbers – It’s hard to find a crop as prolific as cucumbers. Four to five plants will return more than enough cucumbers for the average family, with a few left over to share. Plant when all dangers of frost have passed

the Pressmen.’’ He settled in Brisbane and Canberra to stay in horticulture again, and ended up in Lismore. It’s an interesting place and it feels good to have gardening as part of his daily routine. “Even if it’s five or 10 minutes, that’s all you need. With a complicated life you spend so much time running around like a headless chook. “Covid saw a lot of people turning to home. “We have some very healthy farmer’s markets in the region, so we are well-serviced for local food. “It’s not just about only paying $2 for a lettuce, it’s about connecting a restaurant with local produce.’’ During the Lismore floods, Phil said there was often a real desperation in people. “They were just grabbing whatever off the shelves. “I was actually thinking I’ve got plenty of stuff … there’s always stuff in the garden to eat and to give to someone.’’ Speaking at workshops such as those at the Queensland Garden Expo, Phil can see how much a benefit they are. “There’s less and less ability for people to get from the suburbs to a farm, and I find these workshops are fantastic … for someone who is not sure about growing to actually be in a place where it is happening. “You can feel it, and people go away from the workshops after you have really simplified

and provide a trellis to save space and keep fruit off the ground. Zucchini (squash, courgette) – These fruit prolifically on fast-growing vines. The plants are sensitive to wind damage so provide some protection. Plants have male and female flowers which you can easily pollinate by hand if there are not enough bees about. Just two plants are enough for a household of four. It dislikes cold weather but thrives in warm conditions. English spinach – This is the best of all the so called ‘spinaches’ for flavour. It hates hot weather so grow it when temperatures are cool to mild. Start picking the outer leaves once the plants are established and water and fertilise regularly with liquid fertiliser to guarantee a long continual harvest. Peas – Fresh peas from the garden are sweet, tender and delicious and they’re easy to grow. Most varieties need a tepee or trellis to climb, but dwarf forms are largely selfsupporting when they are planted in blocks of 2-3 rows. They enjoy cooler weather. Sow seeds directly in the ground every six weeks or so. Spring onions (shallots, scallions) – Forget about store-bought bunches that go slimy in the fridge. Springs onions are incredibly easy to grow and having them on hand guarantees the freshest and firmest spring onions for cooking. Seedlings are easier to plant than seeds and save lots of time. Grows in all but the hottest and coldest temperatures. Friday, 30 September, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 41

Undefeated run is over By Randall Woodley The Tewantin-Noosa Thunder First Graders suffered their first defeat last Saturday after a record winning streak of 27 matches, including being undefeated in every match they played in the 2021-22 season. FIRST GRADE: The team travelled to Maroochydore for Rounds 3 and 4 of the T20 Competition. After comfortable wins in the first 2 rounds, against Nambour Cutters and Glasshouse Rangers, they were looking to continue their remarkable record. With 4 players from the winning team the weekend before unavailable and another 3 of their premiership team out for various reasons, they fielded a different team but one still with plenty of talent. Things started off well in the morning against Coolum. On a slow deck Ben Laughlin and Lewis Waugh got the boys off to a great start piling on 48 runs in the first 5 overs before Ben went for 35 off 16. Waugh batted through for a classy 48 having a great partnership with Michael Eckard who with 42 off 28 saw the team post 153 off their 20 overs. Coolum had a couple of quality opening batsmen, but some tight bowling saw the Thunder restrict them to 29 runs from the first 7 overs before removing both openers in the 8th and 9th overs. At 2-39 off 10 overs the game was virtually over. At that point Talon Reichert had bowled 3 overs for only 8 runs, Scott Aufderheide 3 overs 0-15 and Ben 1 over for 1 run. The three quickies were rested from there allowing the spinners to finish out the innings. Jason Toohey picked up 2 wickets and Jake Dennien, the wily fox came on to pick up 4-9 off 2 overs at the end. Coolum finished at 9-105, giving the Thunder a comfortable victory. That saw the club’s winning the streak reach 27 before it ended in the afternoon. Taking on the old adversary, Maroochydore Swans, Thunder batted first, and a rare top order collapse saw them reeling at 4-15 off 5 overs. Jake Dennien and Jarrod Officer consolidated the innings and pushed the score to 59 before Officer went in the 13th over for 36. Peter Walker came out and hit great 16 before he and Dennien (22) were dismissed. A rear-guard action from the tail managed to get the score past 100, at least 20-30 runs short of what was required against the Swans strong batting lineup and the slow pitch. Maroochydore came out batting aggressively at the start, but the Thunder bowlers kept attacking and managed to snare two wickets in the initial powerplay. The boys fought back really well from there and took the game to the 2nd last over before Maroochydore got over the line. It took a lot of Thunder spirit to keep going right to the end and make a close game of a sticky situation which could have easily been all over sooner. The experienced club all-rounder, Jarrod

Tom Menzies bats for U16s. Officer commented after the match, “We didn’t enjoy losing today, so we will be working hard this week to see us bounce back next week.” Next Saturday the team travel to Caboolture to take on Caloundra Lighthouses in the 9.30am match and in the afternoon, they face arch-rivals Caboolture, hoping to ensure they win and jump above them on the T20 ladder. SECOND AND THIRD GRADES: Next Saturday 1 October the Second Grade, Third Graders and Junior fixtures commence. The Second-Grade team will be playing at home, Read Park, against the University team in a 40-overs a side match commencing at 12 noon. The Thirdies will be playing Coolum at Wonga Park, Coolum also starting at 12 noon in their 40 overs game. Both these teams have new players and are confident that this season they will be stronger and more competitive than they were last year. Fifth grade will start their matches on Saturday October 8, playing Coolum at their home ground.

Having the northern clubs come together to promote the sport of women’s cricket is a great initiative,” said Fayne. “Women’s cricket on the coast is going ahead in leaps and bounds” said Cooroy Eumundi captain Amanda Tie. “There are two divisions, Tier One and Tier Two, the Cooroy team will be hoping to go one further this season, after making the Tier One finals for the last two years, since the women’s team started.” Players from the Gympie region will be joining the Cooroy team this year with hope that they will field their own team in the near future. Tewantin-Noosa will be fielding a tier 2 side as it re-enters the women’s competition after a couple of years break. “We are attracting a wide range of players to the sport, some are mums that have been

Noosa Lifesaver’s Emergency Response Group are ready to assist 24/7.

Busy patrol season ahead What better way to start the new season than to invite club sponsors, council representatives, VIP guests and surf club executives to a 7.30am breakfast on the morning of 16 Friday prior to the start of the new season: Saturday 17 September at 7am. The view from the veranda of the Noosa Surf Club and the food supplied by the Surf Club Restaurant was, thanks to Peter Thynne and Head Chef Campbell McClelland, tops. After a welcome from the club, MC Jack Lewis introduced Lenore Grice OAM Life Member, Ron Lane Life Governor Life Member, and Ross Fisher Life Governor Club President. An apology from Ian Young,OAM, Life Governor, Life Member was received. All named were thanked for their outstanding service to the Noosa club. Following this President Ross Fisher extended a very warm welcome to major guests, the club sponsors and valued partners. “Without your support, life in our club would indeed be difficult: we cannot thank you enough. Major sponsors, new sponsors, everyone, we acknowledge you all.” Also, council representatives Scott Waters, Karen Sinzell and Amelia Lorentson were acknowledged and made feel most welcome. Following this, a senior member whose role in the club is of the utmost importance to our future, was introduced. Shaun Baker Director of Junior activities. His dedication and leadership of the Juniors is outstanding. His speech was most enlightening as it gave everyone an

inside into the training of our youth. Another guest with ambassador qualities, was Tokyo Olympic Bronze Medallist Karena Lee. Kareena spoke of her Olympic experience and training routine and came across as charming young lady. Amongst those named in the many Valued Supporters, was the Noosa Hospital. Too often these dedicated people are taken for granted but I can assure you that amongst the patrolling lifesavers of both Noosa and Sunshine Beach, they are not, and never will be. They are definitely part of the Noosa Family. On the beach On Saturday morning 17 September 2022/23 surf lifesaving season for our volunteer lifesavers, got under way. For the Noosa club, if present conditions are any indication, they are on the way to a very busy season. With Noosa’s Main Beach now bigger and better than ever, and crowds stretching from First Point to the Rock Wall, who knows what lies ahead? It is now some six months since the Main Beach access matts were laid and to describe it as a big success would have to be the understatement of the year. To see the smiles on the faces of the elderly, the wheel chair people and the young mothers with strollers, some being doubles, is indeed very gratifying. Once again, we say a very big thank you to our three sponsors Local Member Sandy Bolton, Noosa Shire Council and above all the mighty Tewantin Noosa Lions Club.

Senior Noosa Lifeguard Adam McKane said, ‘’The mats have been fantastic. For all our disabled people and others, it is a great success. “It is to be hoped that powers to be consider another set of access mats somewhere between the existing set and the rock wall. Those who hesitated to help finance this set, should learn the lesson and dip in toward the laying of a second set. Our people, whose movements are restricted to wheel chairs, and there are in the thousands, would be eternally grateful.” With regard to the first weekend of patrols Noosa’s Club Captain Roger Aspinall said, “It was a good safe first weekend. Saturday crowd was average but Sunday was big: our only problem was some large sea craft anchored in to close to the beach. We had a quiet chat and they moved out. Our courtesy IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat ) patrols are once again active from Granite Bay to the Noosa River mouth. No incidents were reported. Also, I would like to add a reminder to those people, locals, tourist or joggers who have taken the opportunity to “take one of the many Noosa trails to enjoy the natural environment and land based wild life,” to be aware of the golden rule of these Noosa tracks. If you see people in trouble ring 000, give details, location and number of people: then most important of all-stay where you are. When you see the IRB patrol approaching, wave a towel, shirt or something, this tells the crew that they are in the right area.”

Saturday 8am the Seahorse Nippers held their last morning of swims and beach events. This was flowered by their presentation of trophies, gift bags and certificates. Presenters on this occasion was Steve Mawby Seahorse Nippers Co-ordinator and Councillor Amelia Lorentson. A Seahorse Nipper mother thanked all the workers, the Bus Boys and all who worked for the children. The Bus Boys extended a big thank you to the Sunshine Beach Surf Club for the use of their courtesy bus. The Noosa bus was away on tour. The next big day for the Seahorse Nippers will be Saturday 17 December at 8am: this one of course will be Santa’s’ visit. Good news for the senior Noosa club. After a lapse of several seasons the NOBBs, (Noosa Old Boys and Birds,) club is about to be reformed. This came about after several old boys, assembled for yet another funeral, remarked jokingly, ‘’We are all good mates been through some hard times, so we have got to stop meeting at funerals.” After much research and telephones calls by Brisbane and Noosa old boys, it became obvious there was definitely support for such a move. We are now happy to announce that the date and location has been set. The date for this historic occasion is October 22, at 3 pm at the Noosa Club. We therefore ask any old members who are not on the mailing list to contact the club on 54745688 . “It isn’t nobody’s funeral but make sure you attend.”

Better boating behaviour on Noosa River after blitz There’s been a decrease in the level of poor boating behaviour on the Noosa River, following a Maritime Safety Queensland enforcement blitz. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said combined on-water patrols between Maritime Safety Queensland and the Queensland Police Service had recently brought down rates of non-compliance. “MSQ and QPS have increased their presence on the Noosa River over the past five months,” Mr Bailey said. “MSQ’s personal watercraft-mounted enforcement team and its new Noosa based high-speed enforcement boat Caruso have

intercepted more than 500 vessels during this period.” Mr Bailey said the efforts had made a significant improvement in overall compliance rates, increased on-water education and halved the number of marine infringement notices issued. “MSQ’s compliance officers are now noticing the number of boating offences is declining and the nature of offences is less serious. They can be dealt with by cautions and education, rather than fines,” he said. “That said, MSQ will maintain a strong compliance presence during September and the coming school holidays.

“This will include holding two boating safety days in Noosa that will feature demonstrations on how to use marine flares and information about lifejackets.” The boating safety days will form part of a state-wide campaign focusing on two of the fatal five – carrying and using the required vessel safety equipment and proper trip planning for boaties. Queensland boaties have been invited to have their say on future investment in recreational facilities across the state.

Cyclone swell.

Hayden’s mysterious north.

The most wonderful wave in the world.

In ‘The mysterious north’ By Phil Jarratt While many people know that the postwar pioneers of modern Noosa were fishermen and surfers, always looking for schooling fish and better waves around that next headland, what is not so well known is the strange relationship that developed between the town and the surfing community throughout the 1960s. First it was a secret, then it was a northern Nirvana and surfing its points was “like having a cup of tea with God”, and by 1968 the question was being asked “Is Noosa dead?” even as surf magazines devoted entire issues to illustrating that the answer was, well, not quite. When I first surfed the points more than 50 years ago on the tail of a cyclone, First Point and the Boiling Pot were as crowded as the northern beaches of Sydney where I’d driven from, yet a friend and I surfed wild and bumpy Granite Bay almost to ourselves, and I fell head and heels in love, eventually making Noosa my home 20 years later. Having forsaken my own substantial surf magazine collection in the interest of downsizing a couple of years ago, I’ve lately been reacquainting myself with this forgotten side of Noosa history through the remarkable Al Hunt Collection of more than 20,000 magazines and books, now housed in the reading rooms of the Noosa Surf Museum. It required a bit of digging, sometimes getting sidetracked by the discovery of my own articles I’d forgotten ever writing, but I managed to track the main parts of the story. The first article published about surfing on the Sunshine Coast, Notes From The North, appeared in the fifth issue of Surfing World magazine in January 1963, submitted by “Queensland surfer-photographer Chick Graham” who failed to give Noosa a mention, perhaps intentionally. “I find the boys are now occasionally riding the Point Cartwright killers,” Chick revealed, alongside a few photos of straight-handers and ugly wipeouts. “The waves here are really murder but they keep rolling when they won’t roll in other spots.” My own surfing journey was just beginning that summer, so I’m not sure if surfers actually spoke like Chick, but I somehow doubt it. Noosa fared somewhat better (or maybe worse) six months later when Surfing World Vol 2 #6, published in August 1963, included an article titled The Mysterious North, in which SW correspondent Hayden Kenny barely mentioned us by name but featured a lineup shot of “Tea Tree Bay, Noosa, yet another great Queensland surfing spot”, with easily the best waves in the coverage. This may have been a case of Kenny, who had been riding the Noosa point waves in splendid solitude since the late 1950s, being coy about revealing the location. But editor Bob Evans’s expansive caption blew a hole in that. In fact it was the long-departed Evo, also a one-man surf film factory, who really put Noosa on the map with his 1967 offering, High On A Cool Wave, which featured world champion Nat Young and surfboard shaper Bob McTavish using the Noosa points as a research and development centre in preparation for the 1966 world titles. By this time secret Noosa was well and truly outed, but in 1968 Evo reflected on happier times: “At the end of May 1964 I drove north from Sydney with the specific purpose of finding out about Noosa. The bays looked just as I’d first seen them, shimmering in the autumn 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 September, 2022

Bob McTavish on a set wave at Nationals. sun, sloping tree-clad foreshores reflecting vividly in the mirror of the quietest and calmest ocean. At that time estate agents had no argument with surfboarders, and my enquiries soon had me directed to an apartment on the hillside between Main Beach and Johnsons. From any point in the house I was able to watch the ocean, the schooling tuna leaping in their sunrise exhilaration, feeling the slight chill of an early morning westerly, through to the daily glass-out as the breeze turned to the south-east.” That trip had provided the substance of the first major coverage of Noosa, published in the September 1964 edition of Surfing World. Having received a batch of exciting photos of a good autumn swell from photographer Mal Sutherland, Evo, accompanied by young emerging photographer Albe Falzon and Californian surfer-shaper Bob Cooper, struck out for the mysterious north, but they had left their run a bit late in the season for quality swells, and had to rely on Sutherland’s photos. The next time Surfing World went overboard about Noosa’s charms, they didn’t just catch any old swell – they caught Cyclone Dinah, still regarded as one of the truly epic swell events in Noosa’s history. For the March 1967 issue, new editor John Witzig organized a cover photo of a group of surfers, himself and Bob McTavish included, looking hippie-ish and vaguely threatening (or stoned!) in the National Park undergrowth. The 20-page cover story was titled The Wild and Wonderful Days of Noosa, but the opening article, by surf-crazed Dr Robert Spence, avoided the hippie blah and stuck to the facts. It began: “A call from Noosa, collect. Will you take it? This is my secretary on the intercom. Nothing special about collect, but Noosa, priority. Put the call through. The surf here is rising, there’s a cyclone out at sea heading our way. You coming?”

Hell yeah! But Bob McTavish’s bliss attack could not be contained: “The North is ultimate summer in Technicolor. It rains up here too… The waves of National Park are the best things I know in surfing. Riding them is second best. What is a National wave? A series of incidents that add up to a tale of being. One minute a pressure, then a cruise of ease, next a calculus, and finally, always finally, satisfaction.” Noosa was back on the Surfing World cover with the line, “The most wonderful wave in the world” in 1968 for a special issue with 30 inside pages devoted to our breaks and the Noosa beach lifestyle. Half a dozen surfers and writers had a go at describing it, but the best of them was local surf girl Lynn Jones, in a piece she called, When Noosa calls, answer it”. “Countless are the times I’ve seen happy people, happy because they’ve found the perfect wave. It’s a weekday as the tiny lines push across the four bays at Noosa and you can feel a friendliness amongst the different bodies of surfers in Noosa, some seeing the place for the first time, others making another trip to renew their Noosa experience and prove it was no hallucination… Perhaps the best time you can experience in Noosa is when the day is almost over, you’ve surfed until your mind thinks only of wave upon wave, and although you’re greedy as you enter the water for a final session at Main Beach when it’s almost dusk, the waves are so hollow all the strength you thought you’d lost reappears to burn to its end.” By now Noosa was crowded for every major swell event, but with swell forecasting virtually non-existent, if it didn’t make the nightly news it wasn’t happening, and quite a few medium swells were left to locals only. But there was bound to be kickback sooner or later, and it came later in 1968 when Surfing World ri-

val Surf International published a multi-page whine called Is Noosa Dead? The uncredited author began: “It’s a very easy thing to be sour grapes about Noosa. Surf [magazine] has been there four times this year and the place has been like a mill-pond… Bob Aitken, one of the more stoic surfers with the patience and resourcefulness to live there semi-permanently, has seen at most two periods of surf worth remembering in 1968… Noosa, along with many other places formerly able to be surfed comfortably all day with just a handful of people, has been inundated with crowds…” But it wasn’t just the mill-pond of Laguna Bay that irked the writer: “Noosa is full of expensive cars, of charming, well-spoken elderly couples, often still elegant, strolling along the walks of National Park accompanied by a bitchy, neurotic Pekingese dog. Not only is this crowd welcome as the landlord’s prayer – no breaking open of the coin TV boxes [remember them?]… no Jimi Hendrix Experience thundering into the star-laden Noosa night.” While this brilliant evocation possibly inspired the later creation of Noosa Waters, the writer must have felt that overall he’d gone a bit hard, adding a footnote of recognition for Dr Arthur Harrold and the Noosa Parks Association pioneers: “It was only due to the efforts of a small group of dedicated people that a large road lined by houses does not now exist along the foreshore between National Park and Sunshine Beach.” Things went a bit quiet in the 1970s, with surfing’s transition to shorter boards making the breaks of the Gold Coast now the focus, but in March 1980, Tracks magazine ran a short article with no photos that lamented Noosa’s growth spurt and crowded waves. The headline really said it all: NOO$A.

Harry, Harry, Oi, Oi, Oi! Noosa’s Harrison Roach goes into the last WSL world title event of the season, the Cuervo Classic Longboard Pro at Malibu in California next week, as a firm favourite, but in this threeevent tour, nothing can be taken for granted. For starters, the final event is worth double points and all competitors get a throwaway result, meaning that if any of the top seeds win the 10,000 points on offer for first place at Malibu, they will almost certainly be the next world longboard champion. For example, the men’s winners of the two events held so far, Harrison Roach and old rival and three-times world champion Taylor Jensen, each have 5000 points in the bag, with the same ninth place backup of 1575 points. If either wins at Malibu, they take the title. Next best placed are current rankings leader Kaniela Stewart of Hawaii and UK’s Ben Skinner, both with a second place of 3900 points. If either of them wins, Roach or Jensen would have to place second to tie and force a surfoff for the title. The only other real chance is Australia’s Declan Wyton, fifth in the rankings, who is holding a best score third place of 3042 and would need to have Harry and Taylor drop out at the quarters latest. Of course, anything can happen in a world title decider, but Malibu is not a fickle wave, even this late in the season for a south swell, so we really have to look at known performers at the Bu with a chance from the outside. For mine, it boils down to two surfers who skipped an event but are both holding third place 3042 points. California’s Kai Takayama is a fine stylist with explosive touches who knows Malibu well and could shine. Justin Quintal is a Florida goofy-foot who already has a world title under his well-stretched belt and can turn it on anywhere. So it gets down to form, which is really hard to judge when you see so little of the longboarders on the world stage, but to start from the top of the rankings, Kaniela Stewart has to win at Malibu or it’s all over. He’s number one for being consistent on pretty ordinary beach breaks over the two events this year, but having watched him mature as a competitor in Noosa and in Mexico, I know he’ll get there soon for a title, but maybe not this year. Harry Roach and Taylor Jensen have been slogging it out in finals for more than a decade, with about equal returns, and I hope that’s what it comes down to in Malibu. Although worlds apart stylistically when they first hit the radar, they are now balanced in their ability to play to conditions. But the most important factor might be attitude. Harry wants a world title, no question about it, but it’s also not the only thing in his surprisingly intellec-

Harrison Roach on his way to victory at Manly earlier in the season. tual world. And he and partner Edie have just bought five acres outside of Noosa, so there’s that to think about too. Taylor and wife Nava are still adapting to post-Covid situations, free at last to travel with the kids between their home bases of San Diego and Angourie. Plus he’s nudging 40 and he was a stranger to the podium after a few lean years when he won at Huntington in August. He’s a far more relaxed dude than he was when I met him on a boat trip long ago, but I’ve never seen a more determined competitor. And he’s got everything in his arsenal to win at the Bu. The prediction: I think Harry can do this, and he deserves it. If he doesn’t, it won’t break

him. He told me on the phone the other day, there’s still the housewarming party to come home to. But I hope it’s his time. Spoilers? Kani is a bigger threat than Taylor, in my view. But watch out for Quintal in the rear view mirror. The women? Three-times world champion Honolua Blomfield of Hawaii has an almost unassailable lead with a first and a second. Her only threat is the elegant Brazilian goofy-footer Chloe Calmon, holding a second. I’ve seen Chloe surf in Noosa and at Malibu and she has a touch of Joel Tudor about her backside approach. She could do it, but my money is on Honno for a fourth title.

Picture: WSL FOOTNOTE: Apologies in advance. I couldn’t resist sharing the undoubted high point of my long ago and somewhat brief career as a male model. My good mate and former colleague Steve Cooney found a bunch of shots we did together for Rip Curl wetsuits when he was researching for his recent book Unearthed. I’d overlooked them but found them again the other day. Look, we were both working for Tracks magazine. I was the new editor, he was the new ad manager. Rip Curl was not then the global titan it would become, but we’d got a back cover ad out of the bastards and we were on deadline. No one else was around to pose in the new long john. We did our best.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY WHILE the end of a financial year is a chance to look back on the past 12 months, it is also an opportunity to predict what the next period holds for the Noosa property market. Amid an unusual year, Reed & Co managed to deliver their highest volume of sales ever, marking their most successful year as a business. Principal Adrian Reed said the group worked hard to maintain connections between buyers and sellers in a time that threw curveballs at every turn. A total of 95 properties changed hands for more than $236,000,000 in sales. “It is clear now that the peak energy in our core markets was spring of 2021 where we experienced the combined effects of the highest price and volume. “Since then, we have seen a slight disconnect between seller expectations and buyer enthusiasm which resulted in a Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

Noosa Heads. 299487 significant decline in the volume of sales. “The first half of 2022 brought clarity and confirmation that the market was in for some change. While questions remain about what is next, there are clear themes now driving momentum. “In our core Noosa markets, current stock levels remain reduced to an extent that our clearance rates at auction remain high as almost all of the properties that we take to auction are selling under the hammer or soon after auction. “At the moment wherever we are seeing reduced urgency from buyers, we are also seeing fewer homes on the market, that counterbalance is sustaining price levels. “This could be a different environment if stock levels shot up along with less competition from buyers.’’ Reed & Co is predicting that this low stock level market condition will continue, with sellers that have been planning to make a move launch into spring campaigns. “Our tactical marketing campaigns are still driving foot traffic to Reed & Co homes,’’ Adrian said, “continually getting over 20 buyers through properties on launch weekends, on par with what we see in periods of higher demand. “In particular, new or completely renovated homes are peaking the interest

of the market. “With the increased costs of building and renovating buyers are appreciating the value of high-quality construction and homes that are on trend.’ Preparation and presentation have never been more important to ensure that a property is standing out. “Noosa’s market has matured beautifully,’’ Adrian said. “It’s grown from being a relatively volatile market 10 to 15 years ago, to a highly desirable lifestyle market with a strong base of permanent residents underpinning growth. “The underlying drivers that have been supporting a buoyant market over that past five years have been tree-changers and sea-changers, positive migration, and holiday home buyers. “Since the pandemic, we now have to add in financially capable families moving away from densely populated urban areas to the mix. “Couple that with prestige holiday home buyers and you have one of the strongest and most resilient markets in the country.’’ For the financial year, the wider figures show that Noosa Regional house prices finished up 22.8 percent (Core Logic), despite rising interest rates, an election and generally cooling market conditions. The bulk of the growth and momentum

was felt through the first half of the year, that is now being offset by some more recent month’s showing accelerating decline. The median house price in Noosa Heads grew by 25.8 percent, while neighbouring Sunshine Beach, which shares the Noosa Heads postcode, increased by 14.2 percent. Noosaville, which includes Noosa Waters, has also experienced very strong performance jumping 17.3 percent. The median price for a house in Noosa Heads is now $2,310,000, while Sunshine Beach is at a staggering $2,730,000, Noosaville is close behind at $1,910,000. NOOSAVILLE Noosaville remains a popular choice for many with its proximity to the river and its extensive restaurants on Gympie Terrace. The median house value in Noosaville has shown strong growth since August 2020, with the average value for Noosaville now at $1,910,000. To context this, in June 2018, just three short years ago it was $999,000. This is an effect of the pandemic and people’s desire to live in a safe and beautiful haven. Data ending in June 2022 shows that the value continued to be strong through the back half of 2021 then peaking in March 2022 with a growth rate of 24 percent. Homes in Noosaville are taking on average 26 days to sell, this is up from 19 days last year. What is consistent is that homes that are new, renovated or wellpresented will move fairly quickly to sold as buyers continue to seek homes they can move straight into and unpack their bags. Looking at the non-waterfronts in Noosa Waters and its immediate surrounds of Northrise and Headland Estates, a total of 52 homes sold in the past 12 months, a small decline in transactions from the prior year. Of note is that half of these homes (26) were sold at $2,000,000 or above. In the same 12-month period the year prior, that number was four homes above $2,000,000.

Over the past 12 months, we have seen buyers equally split between Brisbane buyers making a permanent move or looking for a weekend abode, interstate buyers and locals who wanted to make their next move, mostly downsizing to a smaller home. The increased capital value of their current home enabled them to free up some cash while securing the right home. Transacting in the same market makes good sense. Tips for Sellers: It has never been more important to get your marketing strategy right. You only get one chance for a first impression - make it the right one. Tips for Buyers: Whilst stock is limited, keep looking for the right home and be ready to act once you see it! EASTERN BEACHES “Queensland’s first $3,000,000 million suburb” was a great headline for Sunshine Beach residents to wake up to when the suburb reached the milestone early in May. This is an understandable accomplishment considering the ultrapremium sales at 24 Arakoon Crescent at $28,500,000 and 4 Arakoon Crescent at $21,500,000 and five additional sales between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000 within the financial year 2021-2022. Examining the most recent data, Sunrise Beach is the best performing suburb of the two with a year-to-date median value increase of 26.3 percent, outperforming Sunshine Beach at 18.8 percent while also ahead of neighbouring Noosaville and Noosa Heads. The top two sales in Sunrise Beach were 57 Orient Drive at $4,370,000 and 34 Orient Drive at $3,750,000 bringing the suburb’s median dwelling price painstakingly close to $2,000,000, while when specifically looking at houses the median is now $2,200,000. Key indicators across both suburbs are showing a reduction in value for the past three months which appears to be declining in a more rapid rate within the most recent month. The trend is common among the majority of the Noosa suburbs as factors such as rate rises and overall global uncertainty slow the uptake of property along the coast.

Tips for sellers: Home preparation and presentation is more important than ever. Listen to the feedback from the market and prepare to be more flexible around contract terms as finance and subject to sale condition become more common. Forward predictions: While still being some of the best performing areas of the state, the slight downturn is already here. We don’t expect there to be a dramatic decrease in price, more a stable plateau after what was an astonishing increase over the past 24 months. NOOSA HEADS A very different scenario exists on the ground compared to previous editions of this narrative on the Noosa Heads property market. At the back-end of 2021 buyer depth had begun to thin and less competition for many properties was the order of the day. The key holiday period across Christmas saw many prospective buyers being able to access Noosa for the first time in two or more years and they just wanted a holiday – their focus wasn’t buying property. March/April saw interested buyers emerge but the fact they could see properties themselves meant they could see the quality of finishes and they could better form their own opinion around respective values – overall just a higher level of discernment on the part of buyers. The threat of interest rate rises dampened buyer enthusiasm every bit as much as actual rate rises have. The Numbers The Covid-induced run-up since 2020 has seen the median increase by 56 percent, fuelled by a dramatic reduction in days on market, from over 50 in 2020 to 23 currently (Core Logic). With many of the factors responsible for that rise now not being in play we can see the rate of growth has begun to dip slightly. Given the way the numbers are calculated median figures from September 2022 onwards are likely to be quite a bit lower as the last of the site unseen surge is removed from the rolling 12-month figures. The time to negotiate will be in the period July through September as expected lower figures bring more buyers out seeking a ‘Noosa bargain’ from September onwards.

Many of these buyers will submit offers below market value stating the median has dropped not realising vendors in the previous few months which make up those numbers were the ones who met the market. From 2008 through to 2016 the median virtually tracked sideways. Within that period there were rises followed by retracements. Then 2009 saw a decline in median prices of 15.9 percent following strong rises in 2007 and 2008. Similarly, a decline of 15 percent in 2013 followed an increase of 25 percent in 2012. From 2015 there has not been one retracement in the median price in Noosa Heads. There has been a shift towards more people moving here to live. Council regulations around short-term holiday letting has seen well-positioned holiday homes utilised less as owners remove them from the available holiday stock or transition to principal place of residence. The key outcome of this has been the rise in pricing of three-bedroom apartments, the nearest house-sized substitute, which will continue to attract a premium. Forward predictions: My Advanced Corporate Finance lecturer said forecasting is a mug’s game. Presently, it is difficult to draw clarity in where the market will head with people still wanting to buy, perhaps with a reduced budget compared to as recently as six months ago. The one constant is that the number of people who wish to live or have a discretionary property in Noosa exceeds those who wish to release the one they currently own and we feel something very dramatic would have to happen for that situation to change. “Overall, we are seeing a much more balanced market where both buyer and seller have some leverage in the negotiating process.’’ - Kate Cox. MARKET PUTS SPRING IN THEIR STEP With temperatures rising, there’s a spring in the step of the team from Tom Offermann Real Estate team as auctioneer Gordon Macdonald’s gavel falls to much applause, vendors and buyers are thrilled to bits, and all parties concur each auction has been an exciting event.

Such were the reactions and the mood last Saturday at the Tracy Russell and Roark Walsh-listed 12 Wavecrest Dve Castaways Beach, a contemporary beach house, five minutes’ walk to the sand and top surf breaks, plus a rear garden with shimmering pool and custom seating, totally dedicated to the good life alfresco. There were four determined registered bidders with $1.5m the opening bid and ultimately the last at $1.79m, both made by the successful purchasers from Newcastle, who intend making it their new home. “Still can’t believe we are about to own such a beautiful house,” said ecstatic Kerri and Richard Parker. Sold prior to auction day was 65 Orient Dve, Sunrise Beach, listed by Peter TeWhata who received multiple offers for the three-level, four-bedroom, threebathroom residence. The Brisbane-based buyer is very happy knowing the prized address is three minutes to the beach and has unimpeded Coral Sea and white-water views. More memorable results from Tom Offermann Real Estate included the undeniable riverside glamour of apartment 13 at Noosa Pacific Resort, 24 Munna Cres, Noosaville. Listed by Eliza Coppin and Richard Locke it sold post auction for $2.55m. Jesse Stower’s listing of 14 The Entrance, 67 Gibson Rd, Noosaville, a three-bedroom townhome offering a dream lifestyle on the waterfront, was sold for $1.8m; listed by Robyn Reid 2/65 Bluefin Ct, Noosa Heads, a classy four-bedroom duplex with a pool, was sold under the hammer for $1.355m; and the Richard Locke-listed apartment 8 at Bermuda Villas, 7-13 Howard St, Noosaville, was sold for $975,000. When it comes to being on the wish list of affordability for investors and top of the pops for visitors, talk to Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller about Pepper Noosa Resort & Villas at 5 Morwong St, Noosa Heads. The contemporary one-bedroom apartment 9411 on the top floor, seemingly perched unobtrusively in a canopy of rainforest on a ridge of the Noosa National Park, sold for $750,000 post auction. It was Chris’ 36th sale in the resort since January 2020. ●

ON THE COVER

SPANKING NEW GEM, UNDENIABLE LUXURY AT SUNSHINE BEACH WITH a commanding street presence echoing the landscape and taking many cues from evocative modernism, is a dazzling brand-new Sunshine Beach superstar.

UNMISSABLE OPPORTUNITY ON 1.89HA IF you are lured by the possibility of a dream residence remarkably sequestered by pristine bushland, totally out-of-sight from neighbours, except koalas, kangaroos and amazing birdlife, and located 9.3km to Noosa Main Beach, what an opportunity. Say goodbye to a dilapidated dwelling which formed part of a 60s-built motel on Noosa Hill, also carports and several outhouses; admire majestic native forest trees such as blackbutt, bloodwood, tallowwood and eucalypts; think spring when mature fruit trees including lime, mango, dragon fruit, jaboticaba and black sapote attract the bees; and check the trickling creek which crosses a corner of two boundaries. Blessed with the luxury of a nearly 2ha estate and being a stone’s throw from the Wooroi Creek-end of George Street, where numerous high-end contemporary residences have been built, is the 200.1m north-facing street frontage - also rear boundary. Dotted with statement grass trees, it has an imperfect circular driveway, however it’s impossible not to think about a splendacious residence indulging every personal need and whim including innovative gardens which will enthral by night, blossom by day, yet be totally onsong with nature. The location is classy and much coveted. Tewantin Village has myriad restaurants, cafes, boutiques, supermarkets, schools, as well as the Noosa Marina and essential services. Twominutes away is the Noosa River Ferry with access to Teewah Beach and the World Heritage-listed Great Sandy Region, also Cooloola and Fraser Island. “There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will capture your heart, and this could be the one,” remarked Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jill Goode. “Located in Australia’s favourite holiday destination, it is 16 minutes to Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach, and Noosa National Park with its world recognised Surfing Reserve, also sophisticated Hastings Street with its bevy of boutiques, art galleries, bars, and beachside restaurants. An unparalleled lifestyle awaits.” Facts and figures Land: 1.89ha/4.67acres; Wooroi Creek end of George Street; north-facing 200.8m frontage, also rear boundary. Zoning: It is zoned Rural Residential in the Noosa Shire Council. For interest only, size is equivalent to ten conventional house blocks. About: Two-bed dilapidated dwelling part of 1960-built Noosa Gardens motel/guest house on Noosa Hill and was relocated.

LIVE THE DREAM RIVERSIDE WITH VIEWS WISH for a pool atop a luxury townhome on the foreshore of the Noosa River at the quiet end of Gympie Terrace with a northerly aspect, stunning 360-degree views sweeping Noosa Heads, Noosa River Spit, Noosaville and beyond, plus yearround lashings of sun? Here it is. And all yours. Open the front door into the sandy-tiled entry way where the lift will glide you to living-central on the second level or, if you insist, take the stairs. Notice how brilliant light dances across the honey-hued timber floor in the over-generous, open plan living and dining spaces, whilst practicality, calmness, plantation shutters and an affinity for neutrals underpin a Bahamasinspired chic aesthetic. It coalesces in a harmonious fashion with the north and westerly L-shaped alfresco terrace, which is perfect for all seasons and any reason lunches and dinners. If you have a penchant however, for the more laidback style, pop up the circular staircase for an incomparable space - the rooftop. Apart from drinking in aweinspiring wide panoramas including direct water views to the main channel of river, see the passing parade of pleasure craft, fishermen on the riverbank, and pelicans hoping they get lucky too. Sip sundowners and enjoy a barbecue on the large terrace, up a few steps is perfect for catching stray rays, or lolling on a sun lounge under an umbrella, and when it is time to cool off, the pool awaits. The contemporary kitchen with grey stone-topped white cabinetry and island/ breakfast bar has all the bells and whistles for culinary creations to suit every taste bud and whim. On the same level in the easy wing is the master suite, with a north-facing terrace, walk-in robe, and ensuite with granite mosaic feature tiles. Nearby is a powder room and a laundry. On the lower level are two queen-size bedrooms with built-in robes, bathroom with a tub and a separate toilet. The location really is second-to-none. Fifty metres away is the water’s edge, a boardwalk for delightful sunsets, watching activity on the river, casting a rod for a delicious feed of flathead, or walking a few steps further where it joins with Gympie Terrace and a myriad of well-known restaurants, cafes, bars, and take-outs beckon. There are jetties to catch the Noosa Ferry to Hastings Street, leisure craft hire companies, shallow waters for safe swimming, and an adjoining parkland dotted with gazebos. “Opportunities so close to the water and in such a prestigious location are

ultra rare,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Lauren Chen who is taking the townhome to auction on Saturday

8 October 2022. “This is the domain of the canny and on the wish list of many looking for the

magical power of a lifestyle change or investment, in Australia’s favourite holiday destination.” ●
