Prost to Oktoberfest Cooroy was awash with dirndl and lederhosen last Saturday when Saw and Mill Restaurant staged its second annual Oktoberfest. With a beer tent, authentic German band and German cuisine the venue was transformed into a scene from Oktoberfest in Munich. Thousands of people turned out to enjoy the dancing, drinking and feasting. Saw and Mill restaurant manager Kimberly Bateman said with more activities planned this year they expected an even bigger crowd than last year and weren’t disappointed. The Oktoberfest was first held in 1810 to honour the marriage of Crown Prince Lud- wig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Sax- ony-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 baked thousands of pretzels for the Oktoberfest in Brisbane said the authenticity of Cooroy’s festival made it unique.

When wild weather hit the Queensland Coast in early July, Sunshine Coast Water Police couldn’t have predicted what was to unfold. What lay ahead of them was a 15-hour rescue of a 71-year-old injured sailor off the coast of Noosa Heads. The 71-year-old man unexpectedly encountered rough seas while sailing around 100 nautical miles east of Noosa Heads on July 6. The man activated his emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) around 9am,

initiating a multi-agency rescue operation. Due to the man’s injuries, rescue helicopters were unable to winch the man to safety. Senior Constable Mark Muddiman was one of the officers dispatched to assist the stranded sailor alongside Senior Constable Murray Lyons and Senior Constable Darrin Tomkins and a paramedic, onboard Police Vessel Norm Watt. “We were dispatched around 6.30pm and spent the next five hours navigating rough seas

to try and locate the man’s vessel,” Senior Constable Muddiman recounts. “A passing merchant ship also attended following the man’s EPIRB activation, however, they were unfortunately unable to pull the man to safety. “Once on scene, the paramedic assessed the man and found he had suffered broken ribs suspected as a result of being thrown around his 10-metre yacht in extremely rough seas.” Once the crew were able to manoeuvre the

injured sailor onto the police boat, he was transported back to Mooloolaba before being taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries. Senior Constable Muddiman said rescues with an outcome like this is what he finds most rewarding about his job. “No two days are every the same in the Water Police Unit and you can never be quite sure what each shift will bring,” he said.

From page 1 “We were fortunate to be able to catch up with this man a week later, seeing him back on the land and in the comfort of his own home made our rescue effort all worth it. “This was one of the most complex rescues we have execute and the moment we brought that man to safety will stick with me for the rest of my life.” Senior Constable Mark Muddiman, Senior Constable Murray Lyons and Senior Constable Darrin Tomkins have been nominated for a QBank Everyday Hero Award for this rescue.

I watched the ABC’s Four Corners program on Monday titled No Place to Call Home that told of the homeless crisis people were facing in towns like Bellingen in regional NSW. Rents had shot up, house prices had skyrocketed, low and middle income earners could do longer afford accommodation and there was none to be had. Families were sleeping in their cars. People with jobs and good references were applying for 60-100 rental properties without any success. Welfare groups were handing out tents to homeless, aware there were no houses available to rent. It’s an interesting story to watch and an issue we are facing in Noosa, as our MP Sandy Bolton summed up in Noosa Today last week, and one that’s not going away any time soon. On a lighter note, plenty of locals and visitors made the most of the long weekend to enjoy themselves. The Oktoberfest in Cooroy was pumping. I don’t know where everyone got their German outfits but full marks for going all out. Noosa Great Trail Walk was again a great success, showcasing the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. And Noosa Open Studios, which continues this weekend, let everyone know just how many talented artists call Noosa home. It does seem like Covid has become a distant memory. Surprisingly Queensland Government figures show in the past week there have been more than 8000 new cases of the illness in the state and 77 people have died testing positive to Covid.

Community bank to stay Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa is here to stay despite recent moves by other institutions to pull out of the local area. Bendigo Bank will remain the only bank branch in Tewantin. The regional Queensland branch is performing very strongly, with more customers than ever before making Bendigo Bank their bank of choice. The Community Bank branch will continue to build on a long history of providing the best quality, full banking service for locals as well as continuing to invest heavily in the community. Operated by Sunshine Coast Community Financial Services Limited, more than $89,000 has been poured back into the local community in the last financial year alone, through sponsorships and grants across many sporting and community clubs including Surf Lifesaving clubs, Lions Club, Ryda, Sunshine Butterflies, YouTurn, Katie Rose Hospice and local schools. Mark Gielis, Branch Manager at Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa said total sponsorship funds distributed since the Community Bank company was established in 2002 exceed $2 Million. “Our purpose of feeding into prosperity, not off it, is our anchor and this philosophy helps inform who we are today and where we see ourselves in the future,” Mr Gielis said. “We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve been able to invest back into our community, and we look forward to helping even more local organisations, clubs, and schools in the 2022/23 financial year. You may not think who you bank with matters, but it does – and for our customers, their banking is making a real difference. Everyday our customers help change lives, simply by banking with us. “I want to assure the local community that our award-winning customer service and community connections are here to stay and that with your support, the future is looking very bright for Community Bank TewantinNoosa. “We are a bank with both heart and heritage, and our culture and values provide us with a clear understanding of who we are, underpinning the way we work, and how we connect with the local community. “For example, we have contributed to the purchase of a new Life Education van with a $40k donation as well as ongoing yearly financial support of $4400. We have also sponsored the local tennis club’s brand new serving machine, electronic displays for both Tewantin and Noosaville Primary Schools and we contributed $25K to save the Noosa Long Weekend arts event (now called Noosa Alive!). “Another great example of our ongoing investment back into the local community is the fact we open our Community Bank Branch for use as a true community hub with a board room, meeting rooms and hot desks available for the community and our customers to use free of charge. “Our meeting rooms are used regularly by WomanKind, a fantastic local organisation who help support women to reach their full potential in their personal and professional

This is why we’re asking people to keep our full-service banking proposition front of mind, keep their banking local and consider us for their lending, saving and business banking requirements. “I’d like to say a massive thank you to our local community from all of us at Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa, your support is vital to the future sustainability and growth of our Community Bank,” Mr Gielis said. Founder of WomanKind Australia Jo Falla said, “What a wonderful service offered free to the community by Bendigo Bank.” “Their facilities are fabulous and the only place in Noosa and surrounds that allows a small community group to gather for both business and education. “The staff are fabulous and even offer coffee and tea facilities, bathrooms and off street car parking. “We appreciate greatly the availability of these facilities offered at no charge to community groups.”

Bendigo Bank will remain the only bank branch in Tewantin.

Trail walk marks a decade By Margie Maccoll Friendships, camaraderie and the beautiful landscape of the hinterland combined to provide the Great Noosa Trail Walk 2022 a successful tenth anniversary walk over the Queens Birthday three-day weekend. About 180 three-day walkers and 20 guides travelled the 56km hike between Cooroy, Cooran, Kin Kin and Pomona with another 40 walkers opting for a one-day walk from Cooroy to Cooran. On Monday morning an energised group enjoyed breakfast at Kin Kin before packing up their camps and heading off for the final 10km leg of the event and a final celebratory lunch at Pomona Distilling Co. Trail walk founder Shaun Walsh said there was no other guided trail in Australia that compared to Noosa’s which enabled walkers to wander across country farms and national parks and at the end of the day finish at a hinterland town to enjoy a refreshing ale and bite to eat. “People are surprised at how good it is,” he said. He said the self-sustaining event benefitted the whole community as participants were happy to pay fees with income dispersed to businesses and groups across the region. This year’s rain on Sunday morning only served to enhance the experience, creating misty conditions for walkers as they travelled through a section of the Woondum National Park. “The mist made it the most beautiful we’ve ever seen it,” he said. Trail guide Laurie Deacon described the walk as “more than a country stroll”. With mountains to scale, valleys to explore and a mix of weather conditions it made for an intrepid trip and even rain did not quench the walkers enthusiasm, she said. Trail guides Kym and Helen Neaylan said walkers enjoyed the camaraderie they experienced and felt secure that assistance was on hand if anyone needed it. “They really enjoyed the friendships and atmosphere,” Helen said. “It’s not a race. You go at your own pace and have the security of knowing you don’t have to carry anything and there’s assistance if you need it.” She said a couple of walkers suffered knee problems and one man went over on his ankle but all were assisted by other walkers including a number of medical professionals in the group and were quickly collected by the team of volunteers and transported to medical care. 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 - 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 Cutters and the Kin Kin Community Group, as well as Tourism Noosa, Noosa Council and Queensland Parks and Wildlife.

Cops spend spring break on the roads Last weekend saw the closure of Operation Uniform Spring Break, the Queensland Police Service (QPS) road safety campaign that targeted dangerous driving behaviour across the state over the September school holidays. During the two-week operation beginning 17 September, more than 7900 traffic offences have been detected across the state, with speeding, not wearing a seatbelt and drink and drug driving featuring prominently. Road Policing and Regional Support Command Acting Chief Superintendent Chris Stream praised the dedication of that state’s officers in enhancing and protecting community safety, and called on the community to join the drive to improve road safety. “In terms of the rubber hitting the road, officers have dedicated more than 18,000 hours toward this operation, with lots of early morning and late finishes through all types of weather to educate motorists and enforce the road rules in a bid to save lives,” Acting Chief Superintendent Stream said. “They see the worst of the worst when it comes to road trauma and their motivation is to see no more lives lost on our roads. “Any police officer will tell you, we never forget the lives behind those numbers – their tragedy becomes our trauma, our motivator is to curb this needless heartache and we no make apologies for doing so. “Officers conducted over 39,000 Roadside Breath Tests, resulting in 521 positive results returned and conducted more than one thousand Roadside Drug Tests resulting in 344 positive results returned. “Of particular frustration to police is the

Had these motorists heeded our warnings, which have been plentiful, and don’t the right thing, they would avoid these consequences.” Acting Chief Superintendent Stream urged motorists planning a trip away to put safety first. “Unfortunately, 13 lives were lost on our

roads during the operation, with the 2022 lives lost amount currently at 225, an increase of 21 compared to last year,” he said. “We cannot be on every corner, and poor decisions can very easily be prevented by checking in with yourself and others. “We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again, road safety is everyone’s responsibility. While calling out a friend or family members poor driving can be a hard conversation to have, it may very well be life-saving—I’d encourage everyone to get comfortable having these chats.

Policy flip By Rod Ritchie, Cooroy Area Residents Association president In December 1981, Cooroy made the national news, when four people were electrocuted in Cooroy Creek, just to the right of the Mary River Road bridge at the bottom of Maple Street. Unbeknownst to local residents living nearby, power lines that had fallen into the water after a storm were live. Looking for some adventure in this popular swimming hole, two young boys launched their homemade raft into the swollen creek. They died instantly when they grabbed hold of the wires. Also killed were one of the boy’s mother, and a young man, who were electrocuted when they dived into the narrow creek to go to their aid. Earlier in the year, Noosa Council rejected an application by the local newspaper, The Cooroy Rag, to erect a memorial plaque because, “it doesn’t meet the criteria of a significant historical or cultural event.” The suggestion that this tragic event in Cooroy was not a significant cultural or historical event for the town is soundly rejected by the community. Cooroy Area Residents Association (CARA) president Rod Ritchie said on the Cooroy Community Noticeboard Facebook Page, more than 180 residents agreed that a memorial plaque on a bench seat, adjacent to the place where the accident happened, would be most appropriate. There were no dissenting views. The good news is that Council has now agreed to reverse its policy and will allow a wooden bench, especially made by the Cooroora Woodworkers Club, to be situated behind the Woodworkers clubhouse overlooking Cooroy Creek, he said. The public unveiling of the memorial will be at a date to be advised.

Indecent treatment The man worked as a casual masseuse on the Sunshine Coast from mid-1990s-2000 and primarily in kickboxing gyms. On 10 August police attended a Sunshine Coast address and took the man into custody. He was subsequently charged with four counts of indecent treatment of a child and is due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on November 18. Detectives are continuing their investigations and are appealing for anyone with information that can assist in this investigation to contact them.

Detectives from the Maroochydore Child Protection and Investigation Unit have charged an 82-year-old Sunshine Coast man with sexual assault offences following ongoing investigations into the alleged abuse of a 14-year-old boy in 1995. The alleged offences occurred over several months when the man was working as a masseuse at a Kuluin kickboxing gym. In 1995 the man was 55 and worked at several kickboxing gyms across the Sunshine Coast including Kuluin, Kawana and Yandina, as well as working from his then home address on the Sunshine Coast.

If you’ve experienced sexual assault, it is not your fault and you are not alone. There are multiple ways to report what has happened to you depending on your situation. If there’s an immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000). You can also report online via: forms.police.qld.gov.au/launch/SexualAssault, over the phone or face to face at a police station. There are also Alternative Reporting Options available depending on your situation.

Crash tragedy By Donna Jones Residents in the Mary Valley are in mourning after the tragic death of a 56-year-old Brooloo woman last Wednesday afternoon after a twocar head-on collision near Melawondi. A 17-year-old passenger was also critically injured in the accident, and had to be air-lifted to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Also injured was a 41-year-old Laidley heights woman who suffered minor injuries. The accident occured on the Imbil Kandanga Rd at just after 4pm when initial investigations indicate a Toyota Landcruiser (travelling north) collided with a Toyota Corolla travelling in the opposite direction, approximately 200m north of the Melawondi Road turnoff. The 56-year-old driver of the Corolla died at the scene while her teenage passenger suffered critical head and chest injuries and had to be treated and stabilised before being airlifted by the RACQ Lifeflight rescue chopper. The driver of the Landcruiser, was transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

Never too late for Ado By Phil Jarratt The good-time music of Adrian “Ado” Spelt’s band The SandFlys has been putting a smile on the face and a spring in the step of baby boomers for quite a few years now, but not many people react the way the late Dennis Ballard did. Dennis, a one-time soapie actor who featured in Number 96, Water Rats, Home And Away and many other shows, and was a production manager on films like The Great Gatsby, had turned a passion for vintage cars into a business called Mob Cars, based in Nowra on the NSW south coast, but he loved to get away to Noosa to visit brother Bob Ballard, a retired engineer. Listening to The SandFlys play their Thursday morning riverside set at Noosaville a few years ago, Dennis was so moved by Ado’s song, Blue Jade, written for his daughter, that he approached him in the break and said, “Mate, you really should record that.” Ado responded: “I’d love to, but we’ve got no money for that.” Dennis said: “Well, I might be able to help you with that. I can make it happen.” The two men became friends, bonding over a love of music, and had further discussions about recording Ado’s original songs. Then Covid intervened, Dennis couldn’t get to Noosa for a while, and when he did he had contracted an incurable cancer. Bob took him down to the river to listen to The SandFlys, and after the gig he renewed his acquaintance with Ado. Drawing him close, he whispered: “That offer still holds, you know, and don’t do it on the cheap!” I joined Ado and Bob Ballard for coffee at a cafe near Bob’s Sunshine Beach home about six weeks after Dennis Ballard’s death. Dennis’s dying wish had been granted. Ado and The SandFlys were in the studio at Dennis’s expense and more than half of an album appropriately called Never Too Late had been recorded. Said Ado: “Dennis and I had a connection straight away, we were mates. Most bands who get to record do it when they’re young and they’re still playing those songs when they get old. Thanks to Dennis we’re doing it the other way around. There aren’t that many musos in their seventies bringing out their first albums! We’re an old schlepper band, but we’re doing it! All Dennis wanted was to be named as executive producer. And he wanted a vinyl edition. Dennis also wanted us to tell the story of each song, so there’ll be a booklet with the CD and the vinyl and a monologue before each song on the USB.” Bob Ballard feels that the album will be a fitting closure to his brother’s adventurous life. He said: “Dennis had 33 vintage cars, then (filmmaker) Baz Lurhrmann bought one of them while they were making The Great Gatsby. Dennis supplied 10 vehicles for that film. The cars started out as a hobby and he turned it into a successful business. His dream was to bring Mob Cars up to Noosa. The drivers dressed in ‘30s suits and had fake machine guns. He was a real entrepreneur, but a suc-

He’d always get cast as a bad guy, which he certainly wasn’t. The album is his memorial, in a way, and I’m just sorry he won’t be here to listen to it when it comes out.”

Ado says the songs on Never Too Late are a mix of rock and roll, country rock, surf instrumentals and soulful ballads. “One of them is called Highway of Life, which takes the piss out of people who build big houses in places like Noosa and Margaret River but don’t live in them. It’s a slide guitar rocker. We’re including

the Tea Tree instrumental we’ve been playing for quite a while, but this time with added violin by guest player Hannah Ryder, which gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.” Never Too Late will be available in November as a CD and download, with the vinyl edition to follow.

Slips wreak road havoc The impact of a series of major landslips caused by recent weather events has been assessed with a dozen Sunshine Coast roads now facing significant repairs. Heavy rain hit the region between February and May with the worst affected areas being Bald Knob, Wootha (west of Maleny), Glenview, Eudlo, Coolum, Peachester, Montville and Towen Mountain. The cost of rebuilding the most damaged roads is estimated at $15 million and could take up to two years with highest priority being given to those with the most significant impact. Local Disaster Management Group Chair and Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson said recovery and rectification works started immediately and would continue for some time. “At the time of the severe weather events, council crews closed roads for our community’s safety, with recovery from these severe weather events continuing for a long time after the immediate threat passes,” Mr Jamieson said. “Geotechnical assessments have identified 12 major landslip sites that require engineered solutions and funding support. “The assistance will be provided through

Aerial image of landslip along Hovard Road, Bald Knob. the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA). “Council continues to work closely with the Queensland Reconstruction Authority, all levels of government, along with emergency and community agencies, to support our community as the region navigates the long-term impacts of the flooding events.” Sunshine Coast Council Division 5 Council-

lor Winston Johnston thanked the community for their patience while council carried out the necessary works and secured the necessary funding. “Some roads have been closed or reduced to single lane access, based on preliminary reports about road stability,” Cr Johnston said. “While this is inconvenient, the road closures are necessary for the safety of residents and road users.

“The landslide at Hovard Road, Bald Knob has closed off the thoroughfare, and I’m eager to see repair works start soon to help minimise the impact on Bald Knob residents and surrounding communities. “Landslip repair works include removing soil and vegetation debris, constructing mass block retaining walls, buried pile and beam walls, drainage works, road reconstruction and stabilising sloped hillsides. “Design works have started for this job which will be a vastly complex construction project which is estimated to cost $5 million and one that is unlikely to be completed until 2024. “We are liaising with the affected local residents, and we are providing as much information as we can to keep the community informed throughout the construction works.” From April to June 2022, council invested $4.4 million into our road network, rehabilitating and resurfacing 10.8 kilometres of local roads to improve community safety. Almost $23 million was invested on a total of 82.5 kilometres of roads across our region in the 2021–22 financial year – that’s 641,418m². This year’s completed works are an increase of 29 kilometres on the prior year.

Funding on offer to help achieve net zero targets Help make a difference to the local environment through a Noosa Council Climate Change Response grant. Applications open on Friday 30 September for projects which help Council achieve the targets and strategies outlined in the Climate Change Response Plan.

Carbon Reduction Project Officer Annie Nolan said the grants cover a broad range of projects. “There is a set criteria but projects can include solar systems for community buildings, education programs and events,” she said.

The projects should contribute to achieving net zero emissions for Noosa Shire by 2026. Assist in the transition to renewable electricity and increase the capacity of Noosa residents to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change impacts.

Not-for-profit groups are encouraged to apply and should discuss their application with a member of Council’s Climate Change Team prior to making a submission. Applications close 31 October 2022. Apply online at noosa.smartygrants.com. au/ClimateChangeResponseRound2

Two weeks in limbo By Margie Maccoll It’s about two weeks since Ernest Wright of Tewantin became one of 10,200 Optus customers whose data was leaked online in the company’s major data breach but after being initially notified of the breach by the company he has yet to hear from them again. The 84-year-old said he received an email from Optus containing a list of documents including his drivers licence, birth certificate, passport and Medicare care, that may have been compromised in the breach. “They said they’d be in touch later on with details on what to do,” he said. “At this stage I’m just waiting to hear from them.” Mr Wright hasn’t yet applied for a replacement documents but every morning, before daylight, he checks his bank statement to make sure it hasn’t been fraudulently accessed. “I wouldn’t like to think they are into my bank account,” he said. Mr Wright views the situation with a mix of confidence the company to which he has been a “loyal customer” will make restitution for their mistake, disbelief they let it happen and a philosophy that there are many people much worse off. “I’m not too sure whether it’s all genuine,” he said. “I can’t see any company being so lapse. “As long as they don’t hurt my family, I mean physically, that’s my only concern.” This week the federal government called on Optus to step up its handling of the data breach. Government Services Minister Bill Shorten said Services Australia wrote to Optus on September 27, asking for the full details of all affected customers whose Medicare and Centrelink details were leaked, but this week Optus had failed to had over that data to the government. “We want to protect Australians’ informa-

The Australian Government’s Cyber Security Centre advises people who think they may be affected by the Optus data breach to contact Optus Customer service on 133 937 as well as secure and monitor their devices and accounts for unusual activity, ensure they have the latest security updates, and be alert for scams referencing the Optus data breach. People concerned they are a victim of a scam should contact their bank immediately

and call IDCARE on 1800 595 160. The Australian Cyber Security Centre reports it is supporting Optus with a cyber security incident response. Services Australia will allow people to replace their Medicare cards for free if their details have been exposed. The government says passports are safe to use for international travel but impacted Optus customers who choose to replace their passports can call the Australian Passport Office and the Foreign Minister has written to Optus asking for any costs associated with new passports due to the breach, to be covered by Optus.

NEWS

Voters safe Enrolled voters who obtain a new driver’s licence or passport number as a result of the recent Optus data breach will not need to update their electoral enrolment. Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers said the announcement provides certainty for voters affected by the data breach. “We know that electoral enrolment won’t be front of mind for somebody affected by a data breach, and for the vast majority of voters it won’t have to be at all,” Mr Rogers said. “The AEC regularly receives licence and passport information from our partners in federal, state and territory governments, which means a change to your licence or passport number will not affect your enrolment.” This advice also applies to enrolment for state, territory and local council elections, for which the AEC maintains the national electoral roll. A person who is eligible to vote but not enrolled, and who obtains an updated driver’s licence or passport, may receive a letter from the AEC prompting them to enrol. If you believe that your or your family’s safety could be at risk as a result of the data breach, please call the AEC on 13 23 26 to discuss your enrolment options.

The announcement provides certainty for voters affected by the data breach.

Mayor meets with chamber By Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

All are welcome to attend the markets at Yandina.

Market for veterans week The Yandina-Eumundi RSL Sub Branch is excited to hold an inaugural Sunshine Coast Veterans Market from 7am to noon, on Saturday 15 October, for Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ Veterans’ Health Week (DVA VHW). All are welcome to attend the markets at Yandina, which will feature over 40 stalls, including arts and crafts, food vans, clothing, jewellery, massage/reiki, animal rescue, demonstrations, competitions and even something for your pets. RSL Queensland will host a stall, along with other ex-service organisations, community groups and veterans, showcasing the range of resources, skills, talents and services available across the Sunshine Coast. Market highlights will include a focus on Veteran Health Week’s theme Eat Well with a “from garden to plate” presentation by vet-

eran, blogger and YouTuber, Mark Valencia from @SelfSufficientMe and music from @ Boiandeskae and Guitars for Vets Australia. Veteran and local State Member for Nicklin, Rob Skelton, will open and speak at the event in a show of support for the local veteran community. The market will be located adjacent to the regular Yandina Markets at 24 North Street Yandina. Department of Veterans’ Affairs Veterans’ Health Week (1-9 October) will see RSL Sub Branches across Queensland host more than 50 events for veterans and their families during the week and throughout the month of October. Many of these events are funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. For other event details visit RSL Queensland’s What’s On website page.

The Cooroy Chamber of Commerce’s annual Dinner with the Mayor is a fabulous opportunity to meet with local residents and business owners and share news from Council. A time-honoured tradition in Cooroy, this year’s event, held on Tuesday night at Saw & Mill, was well attended. There have been many challenges and changes for Council since last year’s event. Firstly, the biggest change - and an incredibly positive one - is the appointment by this council of our new CEO Scott Waters. His new project, Noosa 2.0, developed with council’s executive team, is a roadmap that will lead the organisation into the future and will provide a clear focus on delivering a sustainable, customer-centric agile organisation to our community, our customers and our ratepayers. We have also been working with the new CEO to correct systemic long-term issues within council operations that are the result of the austerity measures implemented at deamalgamation. The second biggest thing to have happened is the flood damage to the region in February and March. The Shire endured one major landslide, 28 landslips, two water crossings and over 100 roads damaged. Council is currently, on average, fixing 70 potholes a day and has advocated the State Government for $37m in recovery funding for the Black Mountain landslide. Despite the impact of these major weather events, in the 2021-2022 year, council delivered $35m worth of capital projects to our Shire, the most in a 12-month cycle. This council has a focus on delivering grassroots projects

to the community and our record $52m capital works programme is a testament to this. Council made a financial commitment of $1.1m in the budget to upgrade the Noosa Trail 5 network and an additional $250k to upgrade trails of high ecological value. We’ve completed two Hinterland bridges with a third to be completed (weather permitting) in November as part of the $4.2m package of works and committed $1.59m to upgrade 2.3km of Middle Creek Road. Concept plans for Cooroy Sports Complex have been completed with a soccer and cricket house redevelopment and expansion of the gymnastics facility. The completion and the opening of the Hinterland Adventure Playground also occurred, with council seeing the project through to completion with a $6.7m investment. The playground has just been announced among the Qld Finalists in the 2022 AIPM (Australian Institute of Project Management) Achievement Awards. This council, as it promised to do, has stood by our hinterland community and has taken the operators of the Kin Kin Quarry, Cordwell Resources to court. Final submissions were heard on 17 June and we are still awaiting His Honour’s judgment. Our draft Housing Strategy is the most progressive in Queensland. We have done a lot of work and there is still lots more to be done. I remain committed to the cause, as do my fellow Councillors. These are just some of the changes and challenges this council has faced since the last Dinner with the Mayor and with so many projects in the pipeline, I look forward to next year’s event.

Stephen and Louise Dando-Collins relaxing at Noosa Junction.

Rebels against Rome, the latest book by Stephen Dando-Collins.

Bestseller an inspiration By Margie Maccoll For 30 years author Stephen Dando-Collins studied Roman history to satisfy his own curiosity, waiting for an academic to write the ultimate book on the legions of Rome. It didn’t happen. After a career in advertising and marketing and having sold the film rights for a princely sum to his first novel, Finkelstein’s Miracle, his New York-based literary agent asked him to come to lunch, at his own expense. So with a world trip part of his payment, he agreed. The film was set to go ahead. It was to be shot in Galway, Ireland, but then news was received the financier for the film had been charged with money laundering, and everything stopped. “At least we have New York,” he told his wife Louise, as they jetted to the US. At the lunch his agent told him his latest novel had been rejected. It wasn’t his first, having received “so many rejections”, but the agent didn’t give up there. “You’re a damn good writer, what else have you got?” he asked. “Louise nudged me and said, tell him about the Romans. “For 30 years I’d been collecting information on individual legions of Ancient Rome.”

“How much,” he asked. “About 10,000 pages,” Stephen replied. “From my knowledge it’s not out there. I’m waiting for someone to write it,” he told the agent. When he returned home he sent the agent an introductory 1000 pages and the reply was, “John Wiley and Sons are very interested. Could you do a series on individual legions?” His first in the series was Caesar’s Legion, completed in about a year. The series of legions of Ancient Rome followed and in 2010 he completed a definitive history in his book, Legions of Rome, which continues to sell well worldwide. Many books have followed. “I made money, won an award or two. It enabled me to be a full time author and write a book a year on subjects that interest me with Random Penguin House,” he said. For Stephen half the fun of writing is in the research, likening it to a treasure hunt, and with his fascination for history it has taken him to some interesting places around the world, access to private libraries and rarely seen archives. He likes to dig deeper into his subjects, describing himself as “rather pedantic”.

Conversations in his historic accounts come from the records and his approach to writing resembles that of a reporter. In one instance he came across a story about an explosive detection dog serving with the Australian Army in Afghanistan that became separated from his master and ended up kidnapped and held by a Taliban leader for ransom. About 12 months later the dog was spotted by an Australian soldier and grabbed back. Stephen pitched the idea of turning it into a children’s story to Random House and was astounded to get a response 29 minutes later to go ahead. Caesar the War Dog was published in 2012 and “took off”. A five-part series followed with Caesar travelling the world dealing with dangerous situations such as drug cartels in Mexico, all researched in depth by Stephen. They were tales about lives neither he nor his young readers would normally encounter, he said. Over the past couple of decades his historic books and adult and children’s novels have brought him great success and acclaim. His first novel made him more than half a million dollars. His first children’s novel,

Chance in a Million, was made into a movie titled Paws, starring Billy Connolly. He is the author of the acclaimed Captain Bligh’s Other Mutiny. Pasteur’s Gambit was shortlisted for the science prize in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards and won the Queensland Premier’s Science Award. Crack Hardy, his most personal history, received wide acclaim. His series about the legions of ancient Rome has found considerable success in the US, UK and Australia and been translated into numerous foreign languages. His latest book is titled Rebels against Rome. The Tasmanian author is grateful to Noosa to playing a part in his career and being a “great hideaway”. He wrote his first international bestseller while living in Noosa between 1996 and 2001 and has returned most years for a month or two during the cooler months. An entertaining speaker Stephen is a regular at writers festivals and will this month be leading a free one-off workshop, which has already booked out, for local writers at the Noosa Library where he aims to share some of his many ideas for stories and inspire budding writers to pen their own best sellers.

Not because the food of each region is local, fresh and delicious beyond words but because the people who produce, process or serve this food are so incredibly passionate, knowledgeable about where their food has originated from, and happy in their immersion in all things related to Italian food and wine.” benefits of eating local, seasonal, and fresh food. Melissa Innes would be delivering a presentation on the importance of capturing and sharing knowledge within Slow Food groups and communities. Fellow Queenslanders Randal and Juanita Breen of Echo Valley Farm at Goomburra on the Southern Downs, spent two days in Spoleto before arriving in Turin. There they stayed on an organic farm Fattoria Biologica Patrice, which Randal described as “an inspiring time spent learning how their agroecological farming model has built community and resilience into their farming endeavours. “Over many years they have slowly but surely developed on farm value-adding initiatives, including: An on-farm stone flour mill for processing heritage wheat, a bakery with a wood-fired oven, a boning and packing room for processing lamb, beef and pork, and an olive-pressing facility for making their own olive oil. “It was great to share the highs and lows of developing a vertically integrated farming system. “They have even converted an old stable into a guest house.’’ The Breen’s run a stacked integrated farm with processes that are good for the animals, the land, the farmer, and people they feed. For Pomona-based mead makers Andy Coates and Nicola Cleaver, their journey to Turin started six years ago with one small idea. That was to create a meadery together, in an idyllic location, using outstanding local raw honey and seasonal fruits, tried and tested recipes, and a lot of blood sweat and tears. A couple of years later accreditation for Slow Food was granted.

“We had heard many wonderful stories from those who had attended Terra Madre in Turin but never thought for a moment we would now share ours,’’ Nicola said. “Whirlwind comes to mind. “Andy submitted the application in late May and by late June we were given the exciting news … 10 weeks later we were flying into Rome. “Exciting, nervous, enthusiastic … anticipation was palpable. “Expectations were high and were met on every term. “The beauty of the landscapes, the friendly locals, the exquisite produce, the history and passion has been evident in every morsel … and that was before we arrived at Terra Madre. “The possibility of meeting like-minded mead producers in Italy was intriguing - their processes, choice of honey and ultimately the final product Italian-made. “We had been informed honey production throughout the country was abundant, with diverse variations of texture, colour, aromatics and flavour. We couldn’t wait for the journey to begin.’’ For Andy, the world of mead has always been fascinating and tracking down mead makers in obscure places around the world is always fun. “Italy has been a bit challenging as mead, or Hidromiel (water and honey) as it is known here is quite rare to find. “We struck gold and happened upon a beekeeper in a small town near Parma. “Manuel is a keen Hidromiel maker. His business is called Nonno Lello, after his grandfather Lello who taught him all about beekeeping and mead making. “The distinctive local honey really comes through in both his sweet and dry traditional

meads. It was great to taste them alongside the original honeys.’’ In Modena, they visited the Leonardi Balsamic cellars founded in 1871. “The oldest barrels were 150 years old,’’ Andy said. “We were very privileged to be hosted a private tour of the cellars and a special treat to have sampled the 100-year-old Balsamic vinegar, rich and smooth with chocolate notes.’’ Another perfect day was spent south of Parma visiting two amazing castles, and a local Parmigiano producer - his grandfather started the business and they currently have in stock 25,000 wheels of cheese.

Too often a holiday can mean focusing on the personal experience. What am I going to do today? What am I going to experience? Which restaurant will I eat at? What food will I have? What photo will I catch myself in to capture the moment? Yet this journey has been completely different. It’s been about the people - the people we’ve met along the way on the road to Turin. It’s about the local people of the destinations in which we find ourselves … and their stories. And it has created such a rich journey of exploration … a journey into their local world and sometimes across the divide. It didn’t start out that way … we wanted to see Italy and experience the food from the regions. We were headed for Slow Food International’s Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, a coming together of producers from the Turin region, from throughout Italy and from around the world. New ideas, new trends, new products with a backdrop of traditional methods. We had learnt about the nature of farming in Europe at school. Yet in recent years it has become important to get a broader understanding of other peoples’ knowledge and perspectives … this is about global food management and the way it is susceptible in times of crisis, such as pandemics, flooding, droughts, and war. Even the way produce is transported. Slow Food Noosa had the largest number of Australian delegates at this year’s Terra Madre. It highlighted the expertise and enthusiasm of the members, the producers and the community. Headed by Noosa president Jason Lewis of Cooloola Berries, the delegates included Scott Andrews of Tagigan Road Produce, Andy Coates and Nicola Cleaver of Amrita Park Meadery, Di Seels of Sunshine Beach State School, Melissa Innes from University of the Sunshine Coast, and committee members Rod and Karyn Lees. From 140 nations, the different delegates made their way across the world. Getting there in itself was an adventure. Some Australians landed in Rome, others in Milan, which opened up a whole series of food discovery tours. As one of two Australian media delegates, it was a privilege to be part of their journey. After flying into Rome, I took the chance to see some of the farming areas of Italy. The journey started in the rich wine-growing area of Tuscany. The thing about travelling in Italy is there’s no time to make notes on the way because you’re always photographing something different. There’s always a different view, a different crop, a different type of vineyard or olive grove. You know you are in Tuscany when you see the old towns and villages, that date back centuries, set on an imposing rocky outcrop or hill. It’s an image you won’t forget. They are positioned high up as part of a fort, a castle or an old church. Originally a place of safety to retreat to, leaving the rich alluvial plains for farmlands. The villages became a market-place or a hub for farmers. The communities were in touch with food and it became so much a way of daily life. The region of Tuscany also highlighted the importance of village life and the way people celebrated, not just food but the produce from their area. At Terra Madre, Di Seels was to team up with Scott Andrews to present a workshop about the Snail Kids program for primary school children, which included a practical display on the benefits and growing of mushrooms. Snail Kids is designed to bring nature into the classroom as well as take the classroom into nature. It is an innovative learning experience for children in local schools, which promotes the

For Melissa Innes, travelling across Italy’s regions on the way to Turin was mind-blowing. “Not because the food of each region is local, fresh and delicious beyond words - but because the people who produce, process or serve this food are so incredibly passionate, knowledgeable about where their food has originated from, and happy in their immersion in all things related to Italian food and wine. “From Tuscany to the slopes of South Tyrol, vineyards and fruit groves have dominated the landscape. “When you take time and care to attempt even a small amount of Italian language to engage with locals, they are happy to walk away from their fruit stalls - or leave the take-away line or tables they are waiting on - to tell you about their food or wine. “What I found most profound about these conversations, and in light of the purpose of my involvement in Slow Food, is the number of conversations that came back to the importance of knowledge. “Knowledge gained through generations of Italian families about farming practices, the value of ancient groves or the secret recipes and history rich in family restaurants. “Shared knowledge has played a key part in Italy’s renowned food success over hundreds of years … and this is why my research aims to create, share and capture knowledge within Australian Slow Food networks. “Terra Madre is an opportunity for Austra-

lian producers and food and beverage processors to broaden their own knowledge and experiences and share their new learnings with those at home.’’ Indeed, this was the chance for us to look at the regional differences … how food is such an integral way of Italian life. The heritage-listed area of Tuscany around Montalcino, Montepulciano and Siena are called Val D’Orcia. It’s a land of beauty, and when you look down from the higher areas you can see that these valleys are carved out by glaciers over millions of years, to leave rich alluvial plains. The people, to this day, celebrate not just food but the produce from their area. What the region is particularly known for is Brunello di Montalcino wine. To earn the esteemed Brunello di Montalcino label, the grapes must come from vineyards in and around Montalcino, with the wine having been produced and bottled in the town. The Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) is a government guarantee or certificate of authenticity, and it’s how the wine-makers of Tuscany have maintained the quality and integrity of the vintage. The DOCG classification for Brunello, given in 1980, also states that the wine must contain 100 percent sangiovese grosso grapes. The food we had in Tuscany in local restaurants was simple but extremely tasty - for example, beans served with locally-produced,

high-quality Italian sausages. Then there was tagliatelle, just a simple dish with gorgonzola cheese and a glass of white wine. Cinghiale (wild boar) features as a rich, gamey meat in several dishes ranging from standard pasta dishes to stews. Truffles have become much more prominent and they add a rich, earthy flavour to most dishes. Italy identifies more than 290 different cheeses, and most are defined by region, particularly around Parma and Bologna. Parmigiano-reggiano is to Italy what champagne is to France. The hard, slightly salty cheese – sometimes referred to as parmesan – can only come from Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Bologna and Mantua (Mantova). Then there is grana padano and pecorino, taleggio, robiola, gorgonzola, and mozzarella di bufala. Gorgonzola is made in Piedmont and Lombardy, while mozzarella di bufala campana DOP is made in the provinces of Caserta and Salerno. In Tuscany, but also up the mountain valleys of the Southern Tyrol, there are apple and pear orchards, often netted and with the branches trellised to maximise productivity. You would more than likely encounter tractors and trailers on the roads, with the fruit available at roadside fruit stalls or in town markets.

There was often terracing of the vineyards to ensure all available hillside-land was utilised. There were all sorts of crops - wheat, semolina, sunflowers, corn and of course the vegetables Italy is renowned for - tomatoes, capsicum, chillies, garlic, just to name a few. And the cattle … some were ranging freely but a lot where restricted to barns for their milking. The milk was labelled by area due to the different cattle, the different environment. Especially in the alpine areas, the milk was collected by roadside pick-up from cans or mini tankers. This was the chance for us to look at the regional differences, in the types of food but also how it is such an integral way of Italian life. The people are immersed or intertwined with food … whether through work or their social life. They are so proud of their own and other regions for the food they specialise in. They all know it; they all seek out what the regions are known for. It’s about the experience. The setting in which we enjoyed food with them. It was just like Sunday roast we enjoyed with the family while growing up on a farm. Indulging all the senses with a lunch outdoors under a spreading grape vine shared with loved ones - just as the Italian people have done for centuries and something many of us wish for.

Bali bombings 20 years on Next Wednesday marks the 20th anniversary of the first Bali bombings which claimed the lives of 202 people, including 88 Australians. The Australian Government will host a memorial service at Parliament House in Canberra While a commemorative ceremony will also be held at the Australian Consulate General in Bali. In these excerpts from his book Bali Heaven and Hell, Noosa Today’s PHIL JARRATT describes the mayhem and horror of that tragic night. Saturday, 12 October, 2002 Wayan Agus Parwita, 23, a recent graduate of Bali Polytechnic’s diploma course in tourism and hotel management, had a spring in his step as he walked the short distance from his sparse rented room to the Coral Reef restaurant to begin his afternoon shift at 3pm. It was a warm afternoon but the intense humidity of the approaching wet season had not yet fully kicked in, and, considering he was deep in the concrete jungle of modern Kuta and could not see much of the sky, Wayan only imagined that the day looked bright and full of promise. Although it wasn’t really what he’d studied for, he liked his job at the Coral Reef, which was why he’d been there for almost a year and now oversaw the whole front-ofhouse operation. A year back he’d merely been filling in time waiting for his results, but he’d come to like the team at the Coral Reef, he had a good relationship with his Japanese boss and he was learning a lot. Although the family compound was only half an hour away in Cepaka, just inland from the beaches of Canggu, working long shifts at the Coral Reef meant he didn’t get to see his parents and younger brother, Made, as often as he liked. And frankly, the tiny rented room, hemmed in by noisy nightclubs, didn’t have a lot of appeal. Tonight, however, they had a private function at the Coral Reef – a Japanese wedding – and chances were he’d get an early finish, grab some sleep and be able to head

home to Cepaka early in the morning. When he got to the restaurant and started laying tables, his work-mate Kadek had an even better idea. “There’s a wayang kulit puppet show at Pererenan late tonight. Why don’t we ride down there after work?” Cepaka was no more than a five-minute motorbike ride from Pererenan. Wayan could sleep in his own bed. It was agreed. The wedding party arrived from the RitzCarlton Hotel on time and the guests were rowdy and ready to move out to somewhere more exciting by 10pm. At 10.30pm the restaurant was empty, the last of the guests weaving in the direction of the Sari Club, a couple of hundred metres up the lane. Although he’d never been inside it, Wayan knew it was way too early for that place, but you couldn’t give a drunken Japanese any advice. He and Kadek had the place ready for lockup by 10.45pm. He contemplated going back to his room and

grabbing a few things, but what the hell, he’d be back in Kuta the next afternoon. The two young Balinese men walked to their motorcycles parked in the small bay around the back, revved their engines and took off northbound for Pererenan. As he negotiated the bike around the Saturday night revellers on busy Jalan Legian, Wayan thought what a lucky break the Japanese wedding had been. Normally he wouldn’t be finishing up and walking home past the Sari until well after 11pm. It was just after 11.05pm when Wayan and Kadek pulled up alongside each other at the traffic lights at Lio Square, Kerobokan. At this rate, they’d easily be in Pererenan for the start of the show at 11.30pm. Suddenly Wayan heard a loud bang, like a clap of thunder. “We’d better go fast or we’ll get wet,” he shouted to Kadek. They looked up at the sky and saw nothing but stars. Wayan shrugged, the light changed to green and they roared into the night.

Charter boat skipper Tony “Doris” Eltherington had had a huge Friday night, celebrating some Mexican sailor’s birthday. Six boats had rafted up together in the Benoa yacht harbour and it had gone on all night. He didn’t want to go anywhere, but the new girlfriend twisted his arm and they drove into the Kuta markets for dinner. Afterwards he sat morose in the passenger seat while his girl drove the obligatory Saturday night lap around the hotspots. They parked illegally and briefly caught up with some friends, drinking beers at a roadside bar. It was on at the Sari Club later on, the friends were saying, everyone would be there. Doris knew that was true; half the surfers in town were at the opening of the Mambo store just down the road, and the Sari would be their after-party. So that would be another reason to avoid it. Doris drained his Bintang and coaxed the girl back into the car. They edged their way through the traffic and headed for Benoa.

The bomb victims memorial in Kuta.

Australian Federal Police at the Sari site, 2002. Doris had barely closed his eyes when a massive impact to the side of the boat knocked him out of bed. The veteran skipper wrapped a sarong around his waist and stormed up on deck, his girl following. He mouthed a curse in silent disbelief as he surveyed the bright red sky above Kuta, just four kilometres away across the mangroves. The girl clutched his arm and buried her face into his shoulder. “My god, what is it?” Doris bent low and plucked a cigarette and lighter from one of his on-deck stashes. He lit it and inhaled deeply. “It’s Hiroshima, babe, that’s what it freaking is.” The Sari Club was just starting to warm up when Melbourne gaming attendants Shelley Campbell, 26, Amber O’Donnell, 27 and Belinda Allen, 23, strolled in just before 11pm. The “old hand” of the trio, having visited Bali a few times now, Shelley was in control of the evening. She took a quick look around the half-full

Picture: AFP club and told Belinda they were heading across the street to Paddy’s Pub. Amber had her own plans. Shelley had heard from a friend that AFL stars Mick Martyn and Jason McCartney had just arrived in town and were drinking in one place or the other. She had met the handsome McCartney before and was determined to find the footballers. On their way out of the Sari, Belinda had to make a toilet stop. Slightly impatient with her friend, Shelley paced up and down outside the cubicles. An explosion shook the building and flung Shelley and another girl against a concrete wall. The Sari Club continued to shake. “What the hell was that?” said the second girl. “It must be an earthquake,” Shelley whispered, choking with concrete dust. As they lay on the bathroom floor, trying to pick themselves up, a second blast blew out a concrete wall, releasing a searing hot

wind. From the rubble, Shelley could make out flames behind it. They stood out in the chaotic darkness. A girl staggered out of a cubicle. It wasn’t Belinda. Shelley craned her neck around. She could make out Belinda’s distinctive white sandals beneath a pile of rubble. She wasn’t moving. Summoning all her strength, Shelley crawled across the floor and tried to lift the toilet door off her friend. She couldn’t do it. She started screaming Belinda’s name and was still screaming when two young men shook her and said: “You have to get out.” North Melbourne team mates Mick Martyn and Jason McCartney had arrived in Bali that afternoon for an end of season holiday, enjoyed a few beers by the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel, grabbed some dinner and headed for Paddy’s to start the serious end of the party program. They had been at the bar for two rounds when a small Javanese man walked through the pub

and stopped at the DJ stand, not far from the end of the bar the footballers were using. He paused momentarily, then reached across his chest and pulled a lever to ignite the vest bomb he was wearing. The impact knocked McCartney to the ground and when he tried to open his eyes he had no sight. Next to him on the ground, Martyn was quicker to pick himself up, but the first thing he saw was a fireball hurtling towards him. With fire burning most of his upper body, he had no time to notice that McCartney was also on fire. By the time he had his own situation under control, McCartney lay seriously burnt, his eyelids fused together. Somehow Martyn got his friend’s burning shirt off him and got him to his feet. They started to move towards the exit but became separated in the chaos. Martyn found his friend stumbling on the road outside Paddy’s. “Jas, it’s me. We’ve gotta get out of here.” “How do I look, mate?” “You’ve got a few burns.” McCartney had started to swell from internal burns and Martin feared for his life. “Mate, I’ve got to get you back to the hotel.” McCartney nodded. Inside a minute Martyn, a big, forceful man, had commandeered a motor bike and driver. “Hang on, Jas, you’ll be right,” he reassured his friend. And to the driver: “Hard Rock Hotel. Now!” Mick Martyn felt his head spinning. He looked around in the weird fiery light for someone to drive him to the hotel. The party was over and it had only just begun.

Forests are growing back Trees for Tourism is all about protecting and nurturing Noosa’s pristine natural environment, one of the main reasons visitors are so drawn to this incredible region. To date, Trees for Tourism has planted over 5700 trees, accounting for more than 700 tonnes of carbon sequestration! This great initiative is funded through contributions from Tourism Noosa sponsored events, which have raised more than $45,000 since 2019. On Friday, the Trees for Tourism biannual tree planting event was held where an additional 500 trees were planted along the Noosa Biosphere Trails nearby the Tablelands Lookout in Cooran. Volunteers who gave up their time to plant trees included members of the Noosa Council, NICA, the Noosa Ultra Trail team, the Great Noosa Trail Walk team, the Noosa and District Landcare Group, Roving Restorers and team members from Ironman who run the Noosa Triathlon. Leanna Ali from Ironman, who has been volunteering with Trees for Tourism since the first tree planting event in 2019 says, “The IRONMAN Group Oceania is pleased to be involved in the Trees for Tourism planting initiative again this year.” “We’re in the privileged position to be able to live, work and play in this incredible location and are committed to doing so in a sustainable and responsible manner. “We look forward to continuing to be involved in this important program for many years to come.” All trees planted are native to Noosa with the purpose of providing shade to walkers, erosion mitigation (deep-rooted plants that hold the soil together) and improving the habitat for local wildlife, including koalas. This most recent event focused solely on providing shade and preventing erosion. This has become increasingly more important due to the heavy rainfall and wild weather that

After a two-year hiatus thanks to the pesky worldwide medical emergency that rhymes with “bovid”, this funfilled talent show is returning with its long-awaited ninth season. The most exciting part, besides a cavalcade of fresh performers promising everything from acrobatics to fire, is the arrival of fresh talent on the judging panel. Along with returning judge Shane Jacobson and host Ricki-Lee Coulter, veteran critics David Walliams and Alesha Dixon have been exported from the British series. Homegrown radio and soapie star Kate Ritchie (pictured, second from left, with Walliams, Dixon and Jacobson) fills out the impressive new panel. With $100,000 and the performers’ pride on the line, viewers should always expect the unexpected.

There’s an absence of female Aussie chatshow hosts and Frankly promises to capitalise on the veteran interviewer’s vast experience chewing the fat with wellknown, interesting and notable people. After 17 years of radio broadcasting, this new venture allows Kelly to spread her wings. Featuring a diverse range of guests, from international and home-grown actors, to musicians, comedians and change-makers, sit back and relax as Kelly fires off the funny and thought-provoking questions.

Aussie comedian Alice Fraser (above) cuts to the bone in this critically acclaimed stand-up show about death and imperfections. “What I wanted to write was a silly, funny lighthearted comedy show...” she begins. The cameras have moments of panning to audience members who are fighting back tears, but who says comedy can’t be heartbreaking and awkward? Fraser’s show was filmed in Melbourne but the comic has honed this set abroad for years. It’s a well-crafted, contemplative and very personal sojourn into her thoughts and experiences, particularly concerning her mother’s battle with cancer. Tune in for an incisive and emotional look at life.

After exploring the confronting, unregulated world of cosmetic surgery and society’s obsession with looking perfect, unflappable Todd Sampson (pictured) turns his penetrating gaze to the pitfalls of the internet. In this new investigation airing over two nights, Sampson examines how the internet is altering the way we think, how our brains are wired, and how we live our lives, with a particular focus on the ways this information highway is potentially derailing children. From influencer culture to conspiracy theories, Sampson delivers a compelling investigation which plays out something like a horror story. He also asks: is it too late to change our ways?

Bird counting is on Australians will be looking upwards for a good cause on 17-23 October for the annual Aussie Bird Count, delivered by BirdLife Australia, and designed to gather data to help the organisation track and protect native birds. By participating in this year’s count, Aussies can unveil their inner-birder and help BirdLife Australia uncover new information about native parrot species, with existing data indicating concerns for the nation’s much-loved, bright-coloured birds. The Aussie Bird Count is the nation’s largest conservation event, and encourages people of all ages to spend just 20 minutes in their favourite outdoor space, counting birds sighted in that period. It’s a simple, fun activity that encourages people from all walks of life to take time out, get back to nature and make a difference for conservation efforts. Taking part is easy, as it can be done from anywhere - a suburban backyard, a local park, a patch of forest, down by the beach, or the main street of town. Yearly data collected since the onset of the count in 2014 has given BirdLife Australia solid insight into how Australian parrots are faring. However, existing data poses questions about the future of vibrant native parrot species, including the Eastern Rosella and the Australian Ringneck. By participating in the Aussie Bird Count, you will not only help BirdLife Australia uncover information about native parrots, but also enable the peak body of birds to learn more about the common species that live where people live. BirdLife Australia’s National Public Affairs Manager Sean Dooley said there was an urgent need for new bird data due to inconsistent trends across the nation, particularly amongst parrots. “In Greater Sydney, the reporting rates of the Eastern Rosella have seen a sharp decline. There are also concerns about the Australian Ringneck, a species showing a steep decline

However, we’ve seen an increase in numbers of the Red-rumped Parrot in ACT, and the Australian King-Parrot is also seeing an increase across Melbourne. “Participation in this year’s Count will enable bird experts to understand more about state-based trends, identify if these trends are continuing for declining species, and help us determine the reasons for the declines”, Sean said.

Taking a count at the same time each year enables BirdLife Australia to have access to a snapshot of how Australian birds are faring, which helps to identify trends over time and gauge the overall health of the environment think of birds as a barometer of nature. There are also more than $10,000 worth of prizes being given away as part of this year’s count. For more information visit aussiebirdcount.org.au.

Alpha start A worldwide phenomenon is coming to Noosa next month. The Noosa Anglican Church is planning “Alpha”, a community program where people are given the opportunity to discuss questions that often get pushed aside in the busyness of life. These are the big first order questions about meaning and purpose. Across Australia, 71,000 people were involved in Alpha last year. Worldwide, in multiple church denominations and organisations, 27 million people have attended an Alpha program since its international launch in the UK in 1990. Rev Chris Johnson, Senior Minister at Noosa Anglican Church said “The free program is for anyone who is wanting to have an honest conversation about life, faith, relationships and what it’s all about?” “Everyone is welcome no matter their background or beliefs,” he said. Each Alpha session starts with food, followed by a 30-minute video and discussion groups where no question is off limits, too simple, too hard, or too controversial. An Information night, with a light meal, will be held at the Anglican Church 17 William St, Tewantin on Wednesday 5 October at 6pm. Another Information night, with dessert, will be held at the Peregian Church, 40 Peregian Springs Drive, (St Andrew’s Anglican College) on Thursday 6 October at 7pm. Alpha runs for eight weeks Wednesday Nights at Tewantin and Thursday nights at Peregian. Further information is available at the website anglicanchurchnoosa.org

Lee’s walk for awareness Former Australian cricketer and Survivor star, Lee Carseldine, is back in training but not for a return to the pitch or another Survivor stint, instead he’s preparing to take on a mammoth 24-hour challenge in honour of his Mum and Dad. Next weekend, Lee will attempt to walk 140 kilometres on sand from the top to the bottom of iconic K’gari Fraser Island to raise awareness of stroke. Adding to the difficulty, he’ll be wearing a 19 kilogram backpack to highlight that in Australia a first-time stroke occurs every 19 minutes. Lee says the training has been physically and mentally tough. “When I trained for cricket I trained in a team. This is very different, it’s a lonely training experience and it’s certainly a challenge getting the legs ready to walk on the soft sand.” Raising awareness of stroke is a cause close to Lee’s heart. His Mum died from a stroke in 2019 and his dad survived a stroke in 2006. “I’ve seen both extremes of stroke by losing a loved one and seeing a loved one live after stroke. Both my parents’ strokes have affected our family differently and it’s driven me to make change and raise awareness.” Lee’s epic journey will kick start Stroke Foundation’s major fundraiser, Stride4Stroke, which encourages Australians to get active for the month of November to reduce their risk of having a stroke. “I had no idea about stroke but I want others to know that it is serious and can be prevented. I hope by doing this challenge I can drive others to set their own challenge, get active and do something they love that encourages them to move.” Stroke Foundation chief executive officer, Sharon McGowan, says Lee is setting a great example and is urging all Australians to make their moves count this November.

Lee will attempt to walk 140 kilometres on sand from the top to the bottom of iconic K’gari Fraser Island. “Walking 140 kilometres is a huge effort and I commend Lee for his dedication and commitment to our cause. He’s risen to the challenge for Stride4Stroke and I encourage others to follow in his footsteps.” Ms McGowan is encouraging Australians to get active, even if it’s just a small walk or bike ride every day. She reminded Australians that stroke can impact anyone of any age, at any time – and does so, every 19 minutes. “Eighty per cent of strokes are preventable and taking steps to adopt a healthy lifestyle can reduce your risk. This includes exercising regularly, eating a healthy well-balanced diet, quitting smoking and reducing intake of alcohol. “By making these changes you reduce your

Supporting education a priority this Anti-Poverty Week Members of Noosaville VIEW Club are calling on the community to give generously this Anti-Poverty Week (16-22 October) and sponsor a child through the nation’s leading children’s education charity The Smith Family. Noosaville VIEW Club helps 11 local children through The Smith Family’s Learning for Life education support program, which provides families with long term educational, financial, and personal assistance so that children have all the essentials needed to fully participate in their learning. This year has been particularly difficult, with the ongoing effects of COVID and now the rising cost-of-living having a major impact on families already experiencing disadvantage and causing worrying disruptions to children’s education. President of the Noosaville VIEW Club Wendy Brooks said supporting a child’s learning has never been more important. “With the rising cost of petrol, groceries,

and housing, we are hearing from the charity that families are being forced to make impossible decisions about where they spend their dollars each week, leaving children at risk of missing out on basic school items such as uniforms, books and devices needed for learning,” she said. “At a time when children are still dealing with the impacts of COVID and catching up on missed learning, the ripple effect of these added financial pressures at home could set them back even further. “This is why VIEW is so passionate about supporting the work of The Smith Family because its evidence-based approach helps children experiencing disadvantage to overcome the educational inequality they face. They support children for the duration of their education, and this helps them build the confidence and skills needed to create better futures for themselves,” Wendy said. VIEW Clubs raised more than $1.1 million last year to support The Smith Family’s vital

work, and they currently sponsor 1550 students on the Learning for Life program. While fundraising plays a vital role in helping children in need, Wendy is also encouraging women of all ages to donate their time and skills by joining a VIEW club. Last year, VIEW members collectively volunteered over 70,000 hours of their time to help young people through homework, reading and mentoring programs run by the charity - but there’s still a need for more helping hands. “Our VIEW members have a unique opportunity to provide hands-on support to children experiencing disadvantage, while also forming meaningful and lasting community relationships,” Wendy said. “Step by step, we are regaining our presence in the community after all the disruption caused by the pandemic, but we need your help to reach even more children in need through our fundraising and volunteering,” she said.

Noosa’s art studios open By Margie Maccoll A steady stream of visitors have descended on Noosa’s art Hub at Wallace House and to artist studios and galleries across the shire since Noosa Open Studios Art Trail began its nine day event last weekend. From painting and glass work to ceramics and sculpture, the works and methods of more than 110 artists are on display until Sunday 9 October and mapped on five geographical trails from the eastern beaches to Noosaville, Eumundi, Cooroy, Pomona, Cooroibah and Boreen Point. Noosa Today visited several artists last weekend to discover their diverse styles and skills. Among them was John Tonkin who creates glass art through a complex process of precise glass cutting and fusing through firing in a kiln in temperatures up to about 800 degrees Celsius. Artists Michele Rudder and Sharon Jack displayed their diverse styles of art in a shared space at Peregian Beach Community House. Sharon Jack uses stencils and spray cans to create her spontaneous, street-art style pieces. With an extensive education in Art from France to Australia, exhibitions in galleries across South East Queensland and written two published art books Michele Rudder said she likes to transport people through a story from imagination to reality in her current works. In her ceramic sculptures Irene Visser strives to recreate the wonder of small things in nature, drawing her inspiration from her environment near the ocean. Throughout a long career as designer and lecturer of communication design, Irene often found refuge in the practice of manual arts and crafts, particularly ceramics and calligraphy. Now that she has time and space to focus on her own creativity, she takes great pleasure in exploring various materials and techniques. Irene is sharing her home studio at Marcus Beach with transpersonal art therapist and artist Deirdre Byrne who creates personal stories through ink imaginings. Noosa Open Studios continues until Sunday so take the chance to meet the artists and learn more about what they do as they step out from behind their canvas’, kilns, lathes and workbenches and share skills and knowledge of their art practice. For information on the artists and trails visit noosaopenstudios.com.au

Springtime on the fly Beatrix Todd has been following the progress of Noosa’s resident osprey parents through this beautiful series of photos. “They have been dutifully watching over and looking after their junior – who finally peeked out of the gigantic nest,” she said. “These guys have been residents in Noosa for years.”

ZEN - ahead of the evolution in Noosa Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate change and environmental sustainability are at the forefront of many global, national and local conversations. Behind the array of carbon and climate jargon, key drivers for action are becoming more robust as the world experiences, by all indications, an increase in extreme weather events and pollution levels. International goals and agreements influence Australia’s targets across all levels of government and beyond. Global Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reporting all indicate the world needs to rethink and reset how we manage our resources, both natural and manmade. The current Australian Government updated the country’s targets with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by committing to reduce GHG emissions by 43 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and reaffirmed the commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The Queensland State Government has recently announced the state’s new renewable energy target of 70 per cent by 2032 and 80 per cent by 2035. Brisbane 2032 is committed to delivering a climate positive Olympic and Paralympic Games, creating lasting benefits to the climate and commu-

nity and accelerating the transition to zero net emissions. From a local perspective, Noosa Council was ahead of its time when it adopted an Emissions Reduction Policy in May 2016. Council is now implementing its Zero Emissions Strategy. According to Council’s website, the strategy sets an ambitious target of zero net emissions for the organisation by 2026. When considering the emissions for the entire Noosa local government area, Zero Emissions Noosa, a not-for-profit community group of passionate volunteers, works with a diverse range of stakeholders in the region with the goal of net zero GHG emissions for the Noosa by 2026. The group supports the community by assisting them to ask the right questions when seeking energy solutions for their home or business. What is net zero? There is a confusing and broad range of terminology used to describe goals and commitments when it comes to GHG emissions. Some terms tend to be used interchangeably such as ‘carbon neutral’, ‘net zero’ and ‘climate neutral’. To clarify a few commonly used carbon jargon terms, national net zero experts, 100 per cent renewables, have created a carbon jargon page to shed light on the net zero terminology. The page states that net zero emissions are achieved when an organisation’s emissions of

all GHGs are balanced by GHG removals, typically over one year. The journey to net zero not only focuses on energy related GHG emissions abatement. Transport, value chain emissions and product strategies such as the Circular Economy principles have significant and critical impact. ZEN initiates cutting edge projects with major emissions reduction impact. It shares inspiring stories of those businesses and households already taking action to reduce their GHG emissions via its website, which shows a range of initiatives and successful case studies. The group is always looking to assist and collaborate with similarly driven local organisations and residents. ZEN was recently part of the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Sustainability Week. UniSC offers a great example of what a local, practical, and successful energy efficiency project can look like. Partnering with global environmental organisation, Veolia, UniSC implemented a unique thermal energy storage and renewable energy solution reducing the campus’ grid electricity use by around 40 per cent. More information about the project can be found on the university’s website. Media Contact: Angela Cooney 0401 026 559

sumably, Noosa’s, sea level. Hmm, well that makes sense. Steve have you noticed reports of the early onset of winter in the Northern Hemisphere? I’m not sure if this is to do with the rise in CO2 levels? Or whether the shut down of energy producing facilities and the introduction of non energy producing equipment is having an effect. I’ll refer to science to solve this puzzlement. Or Galileo. But let’s get to the facts which you insist on. You say: Renewable energy is far less expensive.

1) Is this the reason why energy costs are escalating out of the reach of ordinary people? 2) Do you know where the components of solar panels and wind turbines come from? 3) Do you know how much it costs to produce and erect one turbine? 4) Do you know how this, eventually, billion dollar equipment, will be disposed of when, in approximately 20 years it will need replacement? 5) Do you understand how much prime food producing land will be rendered useless?

6) Do you have any idea of the cost of energy storage batteries and what they are made of? And how much they are able to store? 7) If you do know the answers to these questions do you still think that sustainable energy is in fact sustainable, cheap, environmentally friendly and easily affordable for businesses and ordinary people? Warmest Wishes for your future study of science. Elizabeth Cameron, Tewantin

Dear Steve Hall It is quite difficult to wade through your jungle of mixed metaphor misinformation and your misunderstanding of ‘science’. You scorn a comment from a visitor who says she hasn’t noticed any rise in sea levels in 50 years. This it seems, is connected with her seven yearly replacement of her body cells and your not knowing how much fluoride is in your toothpaste.

New citizens joy Among the emotional high points in the Council’s calendar must surely be the citizenship ceremonies and so it was for ours, on Tuesday 27 September, the J was overflowing with pride, tears and immense joy. As long term residents of Noosa, we could not have asked for a more welcoming and happy citizenship ceremony along with 77 others from 25 different countries and presided over by Mayor Clare Stewart and the wonderful staff at Noosa Council. We joined voices to formally pledge allegiance to Australia and its people. Then, one by one, to loud applause and with beaming smiles, we accepted our citizenship certificates along with the gift of a native shrub which are going straight to the ‘pool room’ and the garden. The MC Ian Mackay read a poem that celebrated and questioned what it meant to be Australian, was it the figures that loom large in poetry and popular culture? Or, as in our case, the diversity of our backgrounds, our unpronounceable names, our cuisines, those things that make us unique. Together we celebrated our shared love of our adopted country and our home Noosa, and recognised that it’s a great privilege to be on this land of the Gubbi Gubbi people and pay respects to their ancient and ongoing culture. As the Seekers, the lovely Jazz Strings ensemble (and a spontaneous flashmob choir outside the ceremony) sang: “...from all the lands on earth we come, I am, you are, we are Australian.” A big heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the day so special. Helmuth and Gertrud Macey, Sunrise Beach

Messages heard After weeks and weeks of reading essentially the same comments, cryptic messages and life’s reflections from the same frequent contributors, I think you could save a lot of space in this column by simply editing their weekly messages to: Margaret Wilkie - Just saying Steve Hall - Trust me, I know all about climate change. Joy Ringrose - I trust Steve Hall. Ernest Wright - Been there, done that. Woody Dass, Noosaville

Earth is not a Greenhouse Joy Ringrose says “earth’s atmosphere acts like glass in a greenhouse . . .” (NT 30/9). Not true. The glass in a real greenhouse is solid but largely transparent to incoming solar radiation which warms everything inside. If the greenhouse had no walls, the warmed air would rise by convection, escape out the sides, and heavy frosty air would take its place. The solid transparent roof and solid walls perform the greenhouse magic - welcoming incoming radiant energy but preventing warmed air from escaping. The atmosphere has no solid roof or walls. It is not a greenhouse. Viv Forbes, Visitor to Noosa

Political turtles While I’m very much enjoying my stay in Noosa Shire, I’ve noticed there’s a significant number of locals who have swallowed the CO2-driven global warming nonsense hook, line, and sinker, but who live in expensive properties mere centimetres above sea-level. I’ve engaged some of them on the atmospheric physics I quoted in my letter published in Noosa Today on 24/08. None knew enough about them to debate them, but they did seem shocked that a woman of colour was a qualified physicist. That was disappointing. It begs the question, why do so many global warming alarmists live at beaches? Moreover, when banks say they believe in the CO2 narra-

tive, why do they write 30-year mortgages for beachfront property? That should ring alarm bells for those with analytical minds. Australia is blessed to have a geologically stable, purpose-built sea-level gauge in Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour. It has tracked sea levels up and down over the decades, but there has been no acceleration in line with atmospheric CO2 content. Another alarm bell. I see in the September 30 issue of Noosa Today that three writers are unable to engage on the level of pure physics but are proficient in arm-waving alarmism. No doubt they live at sea-level, too. The arm-wavers have been trained to believe that thinking is hard, so it’s best left to “experts”. That’s what’s known as the “appeal to authority logical fallacy”. “Experts” have a long history of saying what they’re paid to say. Meanwhile, the seas have not risen in line with predictions, so the ice hasn’t melted, so there’s no “global warming”, so there’s no “CO2 greenhouse effect”. It’s political turtles all the way down. Jennifer Short, Edge Hill

Don’t think too much I feel so forlorn and forsaken after reading a certain correspondent’s, “Too many folks contributing to these pages, seem to think a lot but don’t know so much”. The said corespondent is correct; I shouldn’t think too much. In fact I thought I’d join the Club of Rome (though I’d never join a club that would have me as a member) and get the lowdown on Global Warming, sorry, Climate Change - best to hedge one’s bets. I’m so glad I didn’t since there are obviously Lenin’s “useful idiots” out there quite willing not to think too much before putting quill to parchment. Yes, I feel better already. It’s so much easier not to think too much and let others do the thinking for me, such as: “Renewables with storage are more reliable than coal, oil or gas and are able to meet increased demand immediately…” For instance, it’s so warming to hear that “there is intense effort to make windmill blades and solar panels recyclable”. Well, I think it might take one or two kilojoules input for the hundreds of recycling plants to process the thousands of windmills and millions of solar panels…whoa! There I go again…thinking. Bad Boy! Brian Ford, Noosa Heads

Spreading fear The fear of CO2 gas by Joy Ringrose and Steve Hall (NT 30/9) is the modern version of the fear engendered by the Aztec priests during solar eclipses. To restore the Sun during these events the priests sacrificed human lives. To restore our planet from destruction by a CO2 gas induced climate catastrophe we are being told to abandon our use of fossil fuels.

We no longer fear eclipses thanks to science in particular physics. The aim of science is to understand nature not fear it. Physics is based on the belief the vast array of the different behaviours of matter in the universe (e.g. the interaction of IR radiation from the Earth’s surface with a CO2 molecule in the atmosphere) can be explained by a small number of natural laws, the laws of physics. Einstein said in his address given on the 60th birthday of Max Planck ‘it is the supreme task of the physicist to search for those universal laws’. Physicists devise hypotheses, possible explanations for how nature behaves. A hypothesis must be tested by comparing it with observations of nature and experiments. If it disagrees with experiment its wrong. You cannot prove a hypothesis is true but you can disprove it. The hypothesis that the heating and cooling of the Earth could be caused by changes in the amount of CO2 gas in the atmosphere was used by physicists in the early 19th century to explain major changes in climate such as the Ice Ages. It was challenged by the discovery in 1908 of magnetic fields in the Sun thousands of times stronger than the Earth’s and in 1912 of cosmic rays from outer space. Could climate change be caused by changes in the Sun’s magnetic field? Cosmic rays are high energy high velocity electrically charged particles which produce fragments when they collide with gas molecules in the upper atmosphere. These fragments act as seed particles for water vapour condensation and increase the amount of clouds which cool the Earth. The Sun’s magnetic field controls the amount of cosmic rays which reach the Earth. There is evidence to show that the Sun’s magnetic field changes in a cyclic manner. There are less cosmic rays, less lower level clouds and a warming climate when the Sun is more active and vice versa. This hypothesis has not been disproved. The CO2 greenhouse effect was not mentioned in university physics courses prior to the late 1970’s. It was incompatible with Einstein’s 1917 paper The Quantum Theory of Radiation. The hypothesis was finally disproved by evidence from paleoclimate isotope data from marine sediments which shows there is no relationship between changes in CO2 and changes in the Earth’s surface temperature. There is no reason to fear CO2. Satellite photographs show that increasing CO2 from our use of fossil fuels is greening the planet. The combustion of fossil fuels produces the two most important molecules on Earth water and CO2. John Turner, Noosa Heads

Cost of renewables European countries, which have vigorously followed the Renewable Energy path, are now

facing their winter with dangerously inadequate supplies of power. They are seriously risking the safety of their citizens, many of whom may freeze to death this winter. Australia has huge supplies of coal, gas and uranium, all guaranteed reliable sources of power. Our current government refuses to consider nuclear, and is forcing the closure of coal fired power stations by imposing prohibitive costs to companies which currently produce 24/7 reliable coal. Our countryside is being blanketed with wind turbines and solar panels, which currently produce approx 30 per cent of our power. They are built in China, using our coal, creating a future environmental disaster when they reach their “used by” date and break down. ‘Someone’ needs to face the cost of dismantling and disposing of them. Has anyone estimated the ongoing cost of this to tax payers? The cost of providing the infrastructure to link the inconsistent renewable power grid to a reliable 24/7 power grid, to supply power when there is no sun or wind is a huge, significant issue, of which we hear nothing. What better plan could our government devise to destroy our economy and our country? Val Spencer, Eli Waters

Ratings winner Costa Lotta reports that with a rating of 17 per cent the spud emerged as head of the vegetables in their quest for popularity. Bedraggled Beetroot and country Pumpkins are on the nose. Who’s buying these costly, rancid and withered leftovers? Just asking. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

More debate needed I am the “concerned correspondent” referred to by Steve Hall (NT 30/9) and I would like to thank Steve Hall for donating Two and a half lines of a very large letter, to a very critical question that concerns every Australian. To quote his answer, “there is intense effort to make windmill blades and solar panels recyclable”, funny that there is no mention of the lithium contained batteries. Using his obvious vast knowledge could he please advise which parts of a windmill blade (and what about the blade supports that anchor the blades in our ground and our oceans?) are recyclable?. One wonders why this “intense effort” now, wasn’t thought about prior to these renewable being built, it appears to be a shrug of the shoulders to me. As for the last two lines of Mr Halls letter they seem to be condescending and wanting to stop open debate. Phil Broad, Black Mountain Friday, 7 October, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 33

Time with Myf Is there anyone who isn’t just a little bit in love with Myf Warhust? That unremittingly smiley face and bouncy personality has enriched the spirits of Australians for almost 20 years now, and thank God she’s back on prime-time Sunday nights with the equally engaging Adam Hills on the very welcome return of Spicks and Specks. But better yet, she’ll be here in Noosa next week! Myf is touring in support of her new book, Time of My Life, which her publisher describes as “a captivating and joyous memoir of wisdom, humour and heart that unleashes the music within us all”. As the youngest child, and only girl, in a family of creative types, Myf grew up with the music in her. Whether she was watching Daryl Braithwaite on TV on a Sunday night or listening to the crackle of the needle across vinyl as Abba’s Agnetha and Anni-Frid took her from rural Victoria to Eurovision, music has always shaped her life. Later her love of music (and the realisation that becoming a professional pianist wasn’t going to pan out) would shape her career. But music isn’t just about memories. It’s a safe place for people who feel different. Songs and lyrics helped Myf make sense of the world and deal with heartbreak and uncertainty. Music steered her hopes and fashion choices, cemented friendships and bonded family. In Time of My Life she shares funny, fabulous and occasionally fraught tales about growing up in a small country town with an unhealthy obsession with Countdown, then working in Australian radio and her experiences on the much-loved music quiz show Spicks and Specks, where she was a team captain from its inception in 2005 until it finished in 2011. Back then Myf said: “I’ve been lucky enough to experience many great things. I’ve seen Frank Woodley’s privates, been naked under a desk with Pete Murray, and met many of my childhood musical crushes. Life can’t get

much better than that, so this seems like the perfect time to wind things up.” But no it wasn’t, and a decade and a bit later Myf and the team are back, and at 49 she’s as smiley and liveable as she always was. And in the memoir she doesn’t hold back as she spills the backstage beans on work, fame, feminism, failure, love and success. Like a sommelier matches food with wine, Myf matches hits with memory, and in the process reminds us all that, as Louis Armstrong said, “Music is life itself.” It’s a captivating and joyous memoir of wisdom, humour and heart that unleashes the music within us all, and Myf will be sharing it with Noosa over a literary dinner at Sunshine Beach Surf Club next week. Don’t miss it. Myf Warhurst book launch and dinner, presented by Annie’s Books on Peregian, Tuesday 11 October from 6pm. Dinner and a welcome drink, $75 per person.

It’s been a labour of love spending the past 30 years designing and creating Noosa Arts Theatre costumes for Margaret Courtney. She joined the theatre after moving to Noosa from Sydney in 1991, and went on to create as many friendships as she had costumes during that time. “I’ve been in many productions on stage, and in 1992 I said ‘You don’t have to make a costume for me, I can make my own’, and so I’ve been doing them all ever since,” Margaret said. “I enjoy doing it. It’s very creative and I’m very passionate about the theatre. I’ve made a big family of friends over those years. “I sort of work non-stop. Much to my husband’s horror. It’s a labour of love, as these things always are. We’re all volunteers, we don’t get paid to do it. We just finish one show and then go into the next one. So I’m a busy lady.” Margaret has spent the past four months designing and sewing in preparation for Noosa Arts Theatre’s latest fast-paced production, The Boy from Oz. The production tells the dazzling, funny and moving story of the life of legendary Australian entertainer and songwriter, Peter Allen. “We had a costume run on Sunday and I was pleased with the way it went,” Margaret said. “It was the first time we saw the cast in costumes, and that’s when you find out what’s not working quite right and what needs adjusting.” She said this production has been a massive job. “Peter Allen in the show has 22 costume changes. For a leading man, it’s a lot of costume changes. There are 19 in the cast, and they all have at least five costume changes, so you can do the maths on that,” Margaret said. “I do get some help. I have two or three friends, members of theatre, who give me a hand with some of the sewing. But I do the majority myself because I can design as I go along. “One of these days somebody’s going to have to step up and take over. It’s rewarding when you see the final product at the show. The majority of what people remember is what they see, so if the show looks good, then that’s a real plus for everybody’s enjoyment.” 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. 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. “I’m old enough to actually remember Peter Allen, which helps to know what are the right designs for the right eras,” Margaret said.

Margaret Courtney has spent 30 years designing and making costumes for Noosa Arts Theatre. “This show does cross over a lot of eras, it is set back in the 70s and 80s, and then comes forward to the end of his life as well.” Ian’s vision is to pay homage to the singer-songwriter 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 ‘show-stopping ‘I Go to Rio’. The production features multiple highlighted moments and showcases the wonderful array of talent we have here on the Sunshine Coast, headed by Sam Henderson performing the role of Peter Allen. Tickets are selling fast so don’t miss the opportunity to come along and enjoy this fabulous show. The Boy from Oz is supported by Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF). RADF is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. DATES Cut-price Preview October 27 at 7.30pm.

Noosa artist fulfils dream with book of inspiration Noosa artist Julia Carter is seeing a dream fulfilled with the launch of her new book Love Always, a collection of inspirational quotes and beautiful paintings designed to uplift the spirit and bring more love into the world. Julia’s intuitive, yet intentional approach to her work has gradually evolved over the twenty years when she began painting as therapy following a serious accident, with central themes of love, peace and joy all inspired by the natural beauty of the region. Her love of heartfelt quotes is often interwoven in and around her work, giving the piece greater depth and meaning. “I’ve always wanted to create a little book with my paintings and quotes, as a way of bringing more positive energy, joy, and love into the world,” Julia said. “I also wanted to create a gift which ex-

presses the ultimate depth of caring for another. Love Always is about love in all ways; love for others, love for life, love for our world and love for ourselves.” Just in time for Noosa Open Studios, Queensland’s biggest art trail, Julia is looking forward to bringing together and celebrating art and culture with the amazing people of the Noosa community. This special project, including a book discussion 10.30am on Friday 14 October at her studio gallery at 33 Gateway Drive, Noosaville, is proudly supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and Noosa Council through the Regional Arts Development Fund, for which she is extremely grateful. All are welcome to attend and may view Julia’s website for more details at juliacarterartist.com

New country gallery open Art on Yabba, fine art gallery, is an exciting new initiative of Mary Valley Artslink and opens in Imbil with fanfare at 4pm on 15 October. The gallery at 116 Yabba Road – the main street of Imbil - will be run by the group as a not-for-profit art space. Mary Valley Artslink president Heinke Butt said the gallery fitted the group’s vision of promoting the arts and culture in the Mary Valley. “It presents the opportunity for artists to exhibit their work in a small, friendly country gallery with loads of atmosphere,” Ms Butt said. The gallery will feature both local artists and artists from further afield and will offer opportunities for artists in residence. The opening exhibition From Chatsworth to Arkaroola ... the Spirit of Land will feature two local artists, painter and sculptor Kym Barrett and ceramic and multimedia artist Yeats Gruin. Kym’s work visually demonstrates her love for the outback. Her hankering for a new land-

Ceramic and multimedia artist Yeats Gruin.

Well-known painter and sculptor Kym Barrett. Picture: CHARMAINE LYONS

scape experience came to fruition during a recent trip from Chatsworth to outback Arkaroola. She said her work from both landscapes described the exterior form, the interior aliveness

of the locale and her sense of being in the place. As a visual artist, Yeats Gruin’s work extends through fibre sculptures and ceramics engaging with contemporary forms of artistic expression using texture, colour, form and a dialogue

based on a personal concept or pursued theme. Yeats said she regarded being an artist as a means of creating a personal statement in a poetic or spiritual way. The gallery will also act as a hub for workshops and talks to share art with the community. These kick off with “Coffee and Conversation” with Kym Barrett on Friday 21 October at 10am. Kym will speak about her recent outback trip in a relaxed conversational manner, using a slideshow with photographs, video and interesting art snippets. Kym will also host a workshop at the Imbil RSL Hall on Sunday 23 October, 10am-3pm. Limited tickets $90pp. Bookings to Ms Butt on 0419 024291. While you are at the gallery, indulge in locally grown food and delicious, locally roasted coffee at the Wild Vine Cafe, the Mary Valley’s newest food destination. Find Mary Valley Artslink on Facebook for event details.

Welcome to October and everything we love about the coming month. Although it is still quite cold in the air the water temps are on the rise. We are now starting to see some summer species coming through which means those with casting rods and metal lures can get excited. Offshore has been a mix of glass out and windy days and those who had the time managed to pick a few days of great fishing. Sunshine and North reef along with chardons and jew shoal have all offer up snapper, pearlies, tuskies, cobia, jewfish, tuna and mackerel. There are new changes to the Spanish mackerel fishery so be sure to check these out before they arrive in big numbers. For now we are seeing broad barred or grey mackerel which often get mistaken for Spanish. They are still excellent eating and are well worth keeping for a feed. For those using bait the pilchard floater is the consistent catcher of mackerel and snapper. For lure anglers a well cast sinking stickbait like the rightwing in Bonito colour works very well as do smaller Rapala magnum prey stick baits. If drifting you can try a variety of soft plastics or smaller jigs like the new Nomad ridgeback which is perfect for casting and working the depths for fish. For those dropping dillies for spanner crabs, now is the perfect time to get some of these fine eating critters as this is the final month before the seasonal closure kicks in. We stock all the dillies, rope and floats to get your started. From the beaches those who managed to make the trip to Fraser Island have reported bulk tailor with fish around the 30-50cm size. These fish are well worth experiencing and if you have yet to catch a fish on a slug then you can do this with ease up here. We have a great range of surf casting gear and lines to match your reel. For those on the coast the warmer waters are seeing an influx of small whiting on the low tide and incoming tide. The warm sand heats the water and these fish love this. Try using small baits of beach worm and peeled prawn for the best success. River fishing has seen some chunky flathead and bream from the lower estuary. Peeled prawn, whitebait and herring are proving to be the best baits. Fishing on 3-5kg spin sticks and 10lb braid or mono is getting the job done nicely with some trevally and tailor picking up baits and screaming off with them. For those running lures the smaller Keitech easy shiners are working well in the darker colours following the evening rains mid-week. Between the

Classic cars on charity run Delia and Peter Rayment courted in an MG and continue their love affair with MGs after more than 55 years of marriage. Regular travellers in their 1948 Y-type saloon, the couple last Sunday attended Noosa Roadrunner Car Club’s annual charity car show where they told Noosa Today they see the classic cars as a catalyst for social interaction. And they were on the mark as they joined guests and vehicle owners who chatted over a collection of cars and motorbikes representing every era in motoring. Despite the rain Noosa’s Roadrunner Car Club, whose members come from Brisbane to Gympie and Hervey Bay, persevered in staging its annual charity car show at Chaplin Park, Noosaville, and just as it had done at previous years, donated proceeds to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice at Doonan. Among the vehicles on show was a 1967 Rolls Royce which ferried Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on Australian tours in 1980 and 2000 and is now part of the collection of the Sir Henry Royce Foundation at Coolum. Foundation trustee Frank Carroll, who exhibited the car, said the collection contains the only two classic Rolls Royce in Australia to have carried the Royal couple. The Foundation opens to the public on the first Saturday each month from 7-10am. Parked near the Rolls at the car show was a 1939 DeSoto brought along by Frank Lowndes who inherited the vintage car from his grandfather who bought it new. It was an uncommon outing for the car which has travelled only 5000 miles in the 53 years Frank has owned it. It wasn’t uncommon, though, for Richard and Anne Harris to take their classic car for a spin. Richard said the couple bought their 1936 Rolls Royce after it arrived in Australia from England in 2017 and drive it regularly. In original condition, which they like, the car had the same owner for 55 years and for the past 67 years has been known by the name of Rosie and continues to be.

Rugby league participation reaches ‘significant’ levels Queensland Rugby League has reported significant participation growth across all demographics, with the Sunshine Coast reaching one of the highest growth rates in the state with a 7.95 per cent increase. With 5524 registered players, the increase is driven by Rugby League Sunshine Coast’s vision to make the game accessible to everyone in the community, from juniors to masters. Queensland Rugby League’s Sunshine Coast area manager Nathan Mclean said there were a number of reasons for the participation increase across the region with the main goal to include as many community members as possible. “Following Covid-19 we’ve had an increase in FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) workers decide to stay in the Sunshine Coast as the building industry has expanded. The League has also put a real focus on providing competitive competitions for all players from a young age,” Mclean said. “Juniors play in non-competitive versions of the sport until they are 12 years old, and we’ve introduced a really successful program to the Under 13s competition with an allinclusive finals system, which means every player had the opportunity to participate in finals against teams of similar abilities.” Six new teams have been introduced to the Masters competition in 2022, bringing in 204 new registrations and increasing the mental wellbeing of retired players coming back to play in an adjusted format of the game. “The social aspect is a big driver of the Masters competition and we’ve seen an increase in volunteer numbers too as the old boys get back around the clubs,” Mclean said. A change in grading for the women’s competition two years ago, from Under 14 and Under 16 age grades to Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17 has also had a beneficial impact on participation. The number of senior women’s teams across the Sunshine Coast has increased to seven for 2022, boosting female registrations to 792, up 13.3 per cent on 2021. ”We also look forward to introducing the Sunshine Coast Falcons to the state-wide competition next season,” Mclean said. State-wide, a total of 64,566 players signed on to play the game in 2022. QRL Community Rugby League general manager Glenn Ottaway also attributed the success to the work of dedicated volunteers, leagues and regions throughout the state. “The game is growing across all demographics – male, female, senior and junior,” Ottaway said.

The Sunshine Coast region has recorded a 7.95 per cent increase in participation in Rugby League. “In a period where there is still some uncertainty and challenges off the back of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is great to see the game thriving on the Sunshine Coast and in local communities across the state. “Rugby league is proving to be an attractive proposition to people new to Queensland, and our ability to deliver on national strategies like the Player Development Framework is also a key factor.” To support the Sunshine Coast’s player increases, the Gold Coast (11.9 per cent) and Moreton Bay (6.5 per cent) had all recorded strong participation growth. “In the regions where we’ve got the largest growth in council areas, we’re getting significant growth in participation as well,” Ottaway said. He said the breakdown of playing participants across Queensland also showed both male and female participation had increased. To support the record 55,121 male players registered to play the game across the state,

Sunshine Coast registrations have jumped 7.11 per cent to 4732. Women’s rugby league across Queensland continues to flourish with 9455 players in 2022, an increase of 20 per cent. Ottaway said the adoption of key initiatives within the Player Development Framework had supported participation growth. One challenge identified by the QRL is the need to attract and retain more match officials following a 4.5 per cent decline in overall numbers. “While it is concerning to see a drop in referees this year, the QRL Board has taken steps to address the issue by recently approving a recruitment and retention plan for match officials,” Ottaway said. Promisingly, volunteer registrations have increased by in the Sunshine Coast by 7.03 per cent to 1310, providing vital support to clubs around the region.

The increase is driven by Rugby League Sunshine Coast’s vision to make the game accessible to everyone.

Journey from fine wines to fairways By Peter Owen Peter Marchant, the renowned Sunshine Coast sommelier who has travelled the world judging fine wines, has made a dramatic career change and taken up a new role as Noosa Springs’ Golf Operations Manager. He began his new job this week, heading a new-look team in the resort’s Golf Shop, alongside former tournament professional Tamara Johns and effervescent Gabriella Latham-Callcott, who now has a full-time role. Mr Marchant, who worked for Spicers Retreats for six years, including a stint as general manager of its Clovelly Estate property at Montville, rekindled his love of golf during a Covid-enforced break from the hospitality industry. “I was based at Peregian and began playing regularly at Peregian Springs,” he said. Then, when a position was advertised for a casual golf attendant at Noosa Springs a few months ago, he decided the time was right to follow a new career direction. “I thought it might open up some opportunities in the future,” he said. It did. When the role of Golf Operations Manager became vacant in early September, Mr Marchant’s colleagues encouraged him to throw his hat in the ring. “I don’t have a PGA background, of course, but my past experiences have given me the skills to do the job,” he said. “And I have the greatest respect for Tamara Johns, who has a strong professional golfing background.” Promising to ‘spend a lot more time in front of people’, Mr Marchant said members will

Peter Marchant contemplates his new career in golf. find him working behind the counter, putting carts away and, when he can, playing with members in competitions. “I’m looking forward to the development side of the role, and you can’t do that sitting in an office,” he said. Mr Marchant describes himself as an ‘Excel spreadsheet nut,’ and a manager who relies on statistics, operations and establishing effective systems. “The Noosa Springs Golf Shop is an exceptional operation,” he said. “But I believe we have a great opportunity to build on what’s al-

ready been achieved and, where necessary, to challenge tradition. “I respect tradition and I don’t plan to change things for the sake of it,” he said. “But you should always assess performance and consider what things can be done better.” Mr Marchant’s working life began helping his mother in her Brisbane catering business when he was nine. He worked in a local fish and chip shop at 12, became a waiter at Bardon’s Avanti restaurant at 17, and travelled Europe, where he developed a career in food and beverage. He managed and owned a number of Brisbane cafes and restaurants and won numerous state and national awards. More recently he was resident sommelier at the upmarket restaurant Market Bistro in the Maroochydore CBD, where he curated a collection of more than 1000 wines. For a man who was certified by Australia’s Court of Master Sommeliers in 2007, served as state chairman and a member of the national executive of Sommeliers Australia for five years and was selected as a scholar for the world’s most exclusive wine school, the Len Evans Tutorial, Mr Marchant is remarkably down-to-earth. He claims he doesn’t really know much about wine except that it promotes happiness and joy, insists his favourite beverage is a cold beer and admits he has a lot to learn about his new role. But he pledges to listen to the views of people, tackle the task with enthusiasm and a sense of fun – and play as much golf as the job allows.

Walk, run and honour a loved one The time for the annual Wishlist Fun Run is here for its fourth year, and it promises to be a great time for the whole family, and for a good cause. Wishlist Fundraising and Partnerships Manager Lisa Wilson said the run returns on Sunday 16 October, and expects a strong turnout of 400 competitors from a range of generous local groups. “We welcome absolutely anyone to come along, but we especially think this day will be great for schools, families, individuals and for corporate team building,” Ms Wilson said. “The Wishlist Fun Run course loops around the tranquil Lake Kawana – races will kick off from 31 Sportsman Parade, Bokarina at around 8am.” Funds raised from the event will be directed to patients and families touched by cancer, who will benefit from the charities Australianfirst facility – Wishlist Centre – which will offer affordable accommodation, complementary therapies and primary healthcare under one roof. The three race distances include a 10km course, with an 8am start, a 5km course with a 9am start, and a 2.5km course with a 9:30am start. Dog lovers who wish to bring their fury friend along, will be pleased to know Wishlist has introduced a 5km pooch walk for the first time. “Dogs have a soft spot in all of our hearts, but they mean something even more to us at Wishlist. We currently direct funds to the Delta Therapy Dog program – in which two gorgeous golden retrievers provide special visits to patients – young and old – going through a rough time in hospital.” To sweeten the already great day planned for all competitors, live entertainment, face painting, a jumping castle for the kids, and BBQ and drinks will be available. Since 2018, the event has raised more than $90,000 for the charity which funds for the provision of medical equipment and services to support patients including supported accommodation within the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service catchment area. 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 October, 2022

Spring in the air at swim meet By Brian Hoepper Last month on a sunny day the pools at the Noosa Aquatic Centre sparkled as swimmers, officials and supporters arrived for the 21st Anniversary Noosa Masters swim meet. Meet director Ian Tucker sighed with relief. Two days earlier, Noosa had caught the tail end of storms that caused havoc to the south. The spring weather worked its magic. Swimmers from 29 clubs came from near and far, including one competitor each from Townsville, Sydney and Auckland. This was the largest number of clubs to gather in Queensland this year, apart from at the state championships. And Noosa’s 40-strong team was the largest at any masters’ event in Queensland in 2022. There were races in all strokes from 50 metres to 200 metres, together with freestyle and medley relays. Swimmers could compete in five individual events to score points. Dozens of club volunteers worked behind the scenes - marshalling, timing, recording and providing refreshments to officials and workers. The program moved along briskly, culminating in a barbecue at which individual and club awards were presented. Not surprisingly, the large Noosa contingent amassed a huge points total. But, in true sporting spirit, the club presented trophies based on the average points won per entrant. Among the larger clubs, the always-competitive Miami Masters won the trophy. The trophy for smaller clubs was won by the relatively new Gympie Gold Fins Masters. This team of five, with an average age of only 33, put on an impressive display of powerful swimming. They reflect an emerging trend in masters’ swimming. Young adults, moving on from elite competition, are finding a welcome niche in the clubs. At meets, they produce fast and fascinating clashes in the pool. Two swimmers among the medallists at the meet broke records. Cotton Tree’s Caleb Langelaan (45) swam 2:31.39 to shatter the identical state and national age records in the 200M Breaststroke (2:36.17). He’d set those records only a month earlier! Beerwah’s Lene Knudsen (45) swam a superb 1:10.65 to break the state age record in the 100M Butterfly (1:12.58). Lene just missed Shane Gould’s current national record (1:10.15). It’s not surprising that few records were broken. In masters’ competition in Queensland this year, 235 individual and relay state records have already been broken. Clearly, the bar is being raised, the challenge increased. Anyone interested in joining Noosa Masters is invited to a free Come and Try Day on Saturday morning 22 October.

All senior Thunder Teams entering the series of One-Day matches next Saturday.

Mixed weekend for Thunder By Randall Woodley Last weekend the three Tewantin-Noosa Thunder top grades (First, Second and Thirds) played matches but only one of the matches ended up with a win for the club. FIRST GRADE: From the first series of matches in the First Grade T20 competition it is obvious already that the all-round standard of the eight teams competing has improved over last season. This will be a tougher season for the local team who have been able to retain nearly all of their premiership players from last year, whilst other clubs have recruited well. Last Saturday they travelled to Caboolture to play the next two rounds of the T20 Competition. In the morning match against Caloundra the boys batted first for the 5th time in a row. Ben Laughlin got the team off to another great start, scoring 51 off 34 balls. After the early loss of Lewis Waugh, Jarrod Officer (46) and Ben Claypole (17* off 20) were the only others to register double figure scores. Boundaries were hard to come by in the last 10 and they did well to post 141 on a ground that has seen four T20 matches played on it this season and no other scores were over 100. Caloundra came out and hit 20 off the first two overs before Tom Stewart, bowling with pace and lift snagged a double wicket maiden in the third. From there on Thunder were well on top to have them all out for 92. Best figures of the eight bowlers were from Jake Dennien 4-12, Dom Taylor 3-14 and

Tom Stewart 2-14 In the afternoon Tewantin-Noosa took on Caboolture on the main oval. With both on four wins and one loss, it was a game that will virtually decide who finishes higher on the T20 ladder. Batting first for the sixth time in a row the Thunder got off to another great start thanks to Laughlin who scored 44 off 33 balls. The score was 1 for 52 after 5 overs and a big score was in the offering. However, disappointingly, the team lost regular wickets to their good bowling and tight fielding. Other batsmen to contribute were Ben Claypole 28 and Blake Steel 23 including a massive six onto the clubhouse. The innings finished on 131 after the 20 overs which was probably 15-20 runs short against the strong Caboolture batting line up. This proved to be the case and after losing a couple of early wickets to have them at 2-44 after 7 overs, the Snake’s batsmen, including ex-Queensland Bulls batsmen, Glen Batticciotto batted well and reached the target in the last over. There had been a couple of close calls in LBW appeals and run outs but on the day, Caboolture were the better team. Improvement is needed in all aspects when the semifinals against Caboolture or Maroochydore, are played in a few weeks. Next Thursday night the team will play Gympie Gold under lights (6pm start) at Read Park in the final T20 match and then on Saturday they will play the first of their 50 Over matches, again against Gympie (10am start) at home.

SECOND GRADE: Playing USC at home Thunder sent in the opposition to bat first. Talon Reichert and Tyrone De Kauwe opened the bowling with Talon taking the first wicket with a ripper. Tyrone bowled a good opening spell, and both kept run rate well in check. Two of our debutants, teenagers Will Cooke and Finn Mayo were then given a spell with the ball. Finn bowled his leggies and on a slow pitch was hard to get away. He took a wicket in his 2nd over and finished with 2 for 9. At 2-63 after 20 overs, Thunder was well in the match, but USC piled on the runs finishing on 7 for 172 after their 40 overs. In reply, Josh Peters opened up and scored a classy 40. Adam Curry 14 and Daniel Cooke 25 (playing his first match for the club) were the only others to get into double figures. The team lost wickets in clumps to some poor shot selection and ended up well short of the target. Next week the team takes on Yandina at their home ground and look forward to improving both as a team and as individuals. THIRD GRADE: Playing Coolum Sharks at Yandina the Thirdies welcomed some new faces to the club and a couple of juniors to senior cricket. Coolum chose to bat first. Great opening spells from Ben Shaw 2-24 (8 overs), Joshua Christensen 1-30 (8 overs), Tadhg Crowley 0-17 (6) and Alex Morgan, with fantastic figures of 3-24 (5), saw Coolum struggling to get runs and were at 3-54 at the 20 over drinks break. However, with wickets in hand Coolum increased the run rate in the second 20 overs to

finish at 7 for 173. TNT’s batting innings started shakily with a couple of wickets lost early. But then Anthony Blackwell (41) and Harper Lee (19) steadied the innings nicely and at the drinks break they were in a similar position to what Coolum were at 2-59. When it was Thunder’s turn to try and up the run rate unfortunately things didn’t go to plan and with a lower order collapse, they were bowled out in the 35th over for 92. The effort and intent of the team did not waiver until the final wicket, and everyone will be better for the run next week when the team plays Yandina at Dale Officer Oval. Other Tewantin-Noosa Thunder matches on Saturday 8 October: 5th Grade V Coolum at Coolum (12 noon start) Under 17 V Maroochydore at Maroochydore (7.45am start for Juniors) Under 15 V Maroochydore at Dale Officer Oval Under 13A (Storm) V USC at Ballinger Park, Buderim Under 13B North (Lightning) V Maroochydore at Maroochydore Sate School Under 11 (Lightning) V Maroochydore at Kulin State School Under 11 (Storm) V Coolum at Di Hurst Oval Peregian Beach Sunday 9 October at 9.45am Womens Team V Glasshouse at Read Park

Calls for timely upgrade of Noosa’s boat ramp facilities Noosa locals are being encouraged to have their say on future investment in recreational facilities across the state. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said input from key stakeholders and the boating community would greatly influence planning for future recreational boating facilities. “We’re doing a state-wide study to look at what’s needed for boaties across Queensland in the future and it is now time for the boating community to have their say,” Mr Bailey said. Noosa Boating Fishing Alliance representative Andrew McCarthy said Noosa’s boat ramp facilities were in need of an upgrade and encouraged the community to take part in the survey. “Noosaville and Tewantin boat ramp facilities are poor. The car park and surrounding road congestion is terrible during peak periods,” Mr McCarthy said. “The Queensland government has funds

We should have better facilities. Have your say. It only takes a few minutes.”

Mr Bailey said this important study is timed every five years in connection with the Commonwealth census for inclusion of current demographics and trends. “My department and its partner agencies will use the study to help prioritise the state’s recreational boating investments into the

future,” he said. “The final outcome will be the result of close collaboration with Queensland local governments, port and water authorities boating clubs and associations, as well as the boating public. “I am pleased to say key stakeholder meetings are already underway and providing vital insights. “Community consultation is now open via the QGOV ‘Get Involved’ online survey allowing boaties to have their say, providing valuable input into the state-wide study.” Mr Bailey said interested boaties could view the recommendations across the state via the MSQ website when the study was completed. “We will keep you informed on the study’s progress as it progresses,” he said.

Best athletics results ever For our Noosa Little Athletics representative team, the recent trip to Townsville for the North Queensland Athletics Championships was definitely a trip to remember. Head Coach Mick Hooper was more than pleased with the overall results. “Our team had nine athletes competing over the three-day carnival in beautiful 30-degree temperatures,” he said. “This trip north was the most successful in the club’s history, coming away with a total of 15 medals as well as three Australian qualifiers for the 2023 Australian Championships.” A total of 61 clubs from Australia and New Zealand competed: with more than 700 athletes in attendance. The team that carried our colours and came home with medals were: Luca Gerrard U14 gold 200m Hurdles, silver medal 200m Sprint and bronze in the long jump. Brielle Steel U20 bronze in the 100m and 200m sprint, Mailee Scott-Jones U18 bronze in the 400m hurdles and long jump, Taya Clayton U13 silver 80m hurdles and bronze in the 100m, Samantha Hooper silver in the 800m, Jaxon Retchless U18 silver in high jump, Georgia Grant U13 bronze in the Javelin. To cap it off in the team events, the 4x100 relay for women, saw Mailee Scott-Jones, Courtney Steel, Samantha Hooper and Brielle Steel combine to pick up the silver medal. Definitely a great weekend. When we consider these results plus those from the weightlifting club it again emphasises the high standard of our local coaches. This tells that it is high time that we started to shine the bright lights of success on the lesserknown sports. And remember the next Olympics are in 2024: and with both weightlifting and the athletics well entrenched in this great event, a big thank you to all sponsors is well deserved. Coaches When we talk coaching, another two of our coaches, Sharlene Kelly and Mark Evans, are continuing down the road of success. Sharlene Kelly of the Noosa Heads SLSC, is now enjoying the full support of the Queensland Academy of Sport, and Paddle Australia. Based on the Sunshine Coast Sharlene, who paddled kayaks as a member of the Australian team on a tour of Europe, said, “This sport is definitely starting to grow. We are very excited to see the interest being shown in Kayak Paddling and our goal is to develop future champions on the Sunshine coast.” With the Surf Lifesaving competition season now getting under way Noosa’s Head Coach Darren Mercer and his team of coaches are pulling at the bit to get competitive. So too is Sunshine Beach newly appointed Head Coach Wes Berg. With Wes being the new boy on the block, we wish him well. Up at Cooroy, Head Coach of the Impact Boxing and Fitness Centre Mark Evans has continued to have amateur team members selected to represent Australia at International level. Now also, in the professional ranks, Coach Evans has team members fighting for both State and National titles. Another interesting aspect of the work being done by Coach Evans is as Queensland Futures Coach. This involves the formation of a squad of 20 of the best boxers: boxers who, with advanced training we will see standing on the winners’ podium at Olympic and International events Boxing With information just to hand, Ben CameronHands of the Impact team, will on 15 October, fight for the Super Featherweight Championship of Australia. With an amateur career of 90 plus fights during which, on four consecutive years, he won the Australian Golden Gloves, his chances of adding this, his first professional title to his record, should be good. His opponent will be the present reigning champion, Rocky Ogden of Brisbane. We wish both Ben and coach Mark Evans the very best.

Fresh off her World Amateur Championships campaign in Turkey, Angie came up against the undefeated Angel Rushton. By sticking to the fight plan of Coach Evans, which was to throw good combination punching, she won a unanimous points decision: winning 4 of the 5 rounds. “Her performance has drawn a lot of attention and impressed a lot of people.” said Coach Evans. Definitely a great start to a professional career. Also at the Queensland Novice amateur titles, two future stars emerged. Slade Gray who at age 11, won the 40kg division: boxing brilliantly she had her opponent take two standing 8 counts. Luke Austin won the 75 kg division with a strong forward style, backed up by what Coach Evans described as, “A punch like a Mack truck. Definitely one to watch.” Amateur boxing in Queensland is definitely on the move. It has been a busy time for Boxing Queensland with Development camps held in places such as Hervey Bay and Townsville. Apart for the boxing classes, it also included Level1courses for boxing coaches. Thus, all aspects of the sport of amateur boxing are being covered. It is also interesting to note that a Female Development Camp held at the El Barrio Boxing Club Brisbane, was very well attended. The days of it being a boys only sport, are well and truly over. From the team at the Cooroy Impact club comes an invitation. If you are interested in boxing whether it be for fitness or competition, feel free to drop into the gym at unit 16-17, 5 Taylor Crt Cooroy for a chat, or jump on their webpage: impactboxingandfitnesscentre.com

Back beach, Angourie.

Our last time at this lovely valley cottage.

Chris Davidson, fast and furious.

Picture ASP

We’re on the road again The last time I drove the Pacific Highway to Sydney it was pretty much like the Bruce Highway is now – nothing but roadworks and traffic snarls. Last week, south of the Gold Coast, it was a dream, bypassing all the towns that used to slow you down and force you to eat far too many “authentic” meat pies. All of that is a thing of the past. Now, if you’re hankering for a pie you’ll have to take an exit, otherwise it’s full steam ahead. But our mission was to use the road trip, book-ended by memorial services, to relax over three days of easy driving, admire the countryside and catch up with a few old mates living the rural idyll. First stop was Angourie, a favourite haunt since the early ‘70s, when a surfing friend built a tree house in the bush a couple of hundred metres back from the point. It’s long gone, replaced by a row of multi-million dollar mansions, but a bit of the old Anga can still be found in the back streets and around nearby Lake Wooloweyah, which was where we pitched up for the night, taking over the pool house in the backyard, with lake glimpses through the trees. An electrical storm raged while we ate dinner, but we woke to a perfect north coast spring morning. There being no swell to speak of, I walked the few kilometres of dirt track along the ridge to Angourie Bay, sat and watched some kids trying to surf leftovers on the back beach before I walked back for breakfast. Bliss. Another easy few hours down the road to John’s River, where we exit onto the back road network that leads us to our destination deep in the Manning Valley. Here some friends of many decades are selling their Federation cottage on a couple of acres to spend old age at their city base, ending another chapter of an adventurous life of beach and country living. So it’s a sad visit, our last to this lovely valley, and we spend a good part of it sitting in the paddock sipping rose, telling old stories, hearing the quiet and watching the butcher birds swooping from the trees. Next day I take a diversion from the highway to wander along the Lakes Way, checking out the beach breaks dotted along the coast of the Booti Booti National Park, where once we had to dodge sand mining trucks all the way to the surf. The restoration long complete, it’s a pleasant drive on this blustery, surfless day, getting us into Newcastle in time for a long walk along the beach at Merewether with a buddy, and a beer or two at the Surfhouse. And now here we are on day four at rest on Sydney’s northern beaches peninsula, a place we once called home, in a house overlooking Pittwater, where way below a boathouse bed beckons. We’ve come here to celebrate the life of a dear friend’s mum, who passed away during Covid just a few weeks shy of her 102nd birthday. Molly liked nothing better than a gin and tonic and a good laugh, so there’s plenty of both during a boisterous afternoon and evening farewell. And that was the week that was. Now we have to point the chariot north and make it home in one hit. It won’t be as enjoyable as the

Two old mates enjoying a glass in the paddock. ride down, but at least the road is fit for purpose. Vale Chris Davidson Just as we were going to press last week, news filtered through of the tragic death of former pro surfer Chris Davidson, after hitting his head hard on the footpath after being felled in a one-punch attack outside a pub in South West Rocks. A 42-year-old local man was arrested at his home shortly after and charged with assault causing death. “Davo”, 45, was a 19-year-old Narrabeen local and wild party boy when he shot to surfing fame in 1996 after beating world champion Kelly Slater in two consecutive heats while surfing as a wildcard at the Bells Beach Pro. Despite his natural gifts as a surfer, Davo became better known for his party-time excesses than his competitive record and struggled for years to make the championship tour, finally succeeding in 2010 and 2011. On hearing of his tragic death, Kelly Slater called him one of the most naturally talented surfers he ever knew. “Lost another soldier yesterday. #RipChrisDavo. Had many a good battle with this guy,” Slater said on Instagram. Although I didn’t really know Davo, I encountered him several times surfing hard and fast at qualifying events in Europe around the turn of the century, and raising the roof at the numerous bars of Hossegor with his great mate Nathan Hedge. Davo leaves behind two children.

KEEPING IT COOL: WARM CLIMATE HOMES PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY WE live in a warm region. There are no ifs or buts. While southern states concentrate on keeping their houses warm for eight months of the year it is the opposite here in Queensland. For four months it is about keeping warm. For the other eight months it is a matter of keeping cool. Aspect is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of maintaining a liveable climate within the home. Yet there are many other ways - often at low cost - to soften the environment. At the same time these initiatives can result in dramatic long-term savings in energy costs. Following on from the hugely successful Sunshine Coast Design book – or Yellow Book as it is also called - the Sunshine Coast Council has launched the Cool Homes booklet.

Existing houses can be transformed with some thought but minimal cost. The Yellow Book has won many awards and continues to be used to encourage and inspire good design for our region. The Sunshine Coast Design Cool Homes booklet and compass are to complement the Yellow Book. While it has been designed for by the Sunshine Coast Council, the design elements can apply to most of Central Queensland, South east Queensland and the Western Downs. Cool Homes’ seven design tips include: 1. Consider the location of your rooms; 2. Create and merge indoor and outdoor living spaces; 3. Let breezes in; 4. Use sunlight to illuminate and warm your home; 5. Choose the right building materials; 6. Create shade; 7. Include gardens and trees. In launching the booklet Sunshine Coast

Council design manager Sarah Chalkley thanked those who have supported and contributed to this project including: Laura Hodgson – Homeowner and architect; Chris Hodgson – Homeowner, landscape architect and project officer leading the development of the compass; Dr Rosemary Kennedy – Sub-tropical Cities Consultancy - Architecture and Design Research for Climatically-Responsible Cities; Lindy Johnson – from Lindy Johnson Creative; Liza Neil - Sunshine Coast Regional Chair Australian Institute of Architects; Shane Hastings – builder involved in this project; Iluka Creative for the graphics for the booklet. “We recognise that not everyone in our community understands how the climate and the sun impact their home and therefore how to buy or design the best home for the sub-tropical climate. “We also know that a lot of people

moving here from interstate or down south, don’t really understand how to buy, build or renovate to make the most of this climate. “The new Cool Homes booklet and compass has been designed to make sure anyone buying, building or renovating on the Sunshine Coast has access to information to help them make important design decisions or help them talk to their builder or designer to ensure the best outcome for their family. “We experienced a very hot and humid summer followed by a mild and cool winter – we also have the ability to enjoy a fabulous indoor / outdoor lifestyle – especially if we have a home that is designed or purchased to make the most of our climate. “The owners and designers for the home selected for the book launch, Laura and Chris Hodgson, first bought this property as they could see that it had potential.

The Cool Homes design booklet to assist in the right choices for Queensland living. The transformation with a north-facing verandah opening from the living area. “Now, some relatively affordable renovations have turned it into something more comfortable and definitely more liveable for our climate.” The Hodgson family love how comfortable their home is now: because it has a green and shady garden that cools the house naturally; an outdoor entertaining area that opens to the north and merges with the indoor living space; large sliding glass doors that let the winter sun in when they are closed, and allow cooling breezes through in summer; an east-facing kitchen that fills with winter morning sun; bedrooms on the cooler south side; improved window seals and insulated walls and ceiling; and solar panels on the roof. At the 2022 Queensland Garden Expo there was a lot of interest in the booklet from people buying, building and renovating. It highlights the fact we live in beautiful regions and how important it is to continue to protect and enhance that, and live in a way that doesn’t compromise what we all love so much.

300458

We are moving toward a low carbon, energy and resource efficient way of life and it’s important to maintain and enhance that. Good quality design can be included in our public spaces and children’s play areas. There is a lot we can do to make our homes more comfortable for the warmer and more humid conditions. The booklet can help us understand where to put rooms, how to let light in to warm or illuminate the home, how to let breezes through, which building materials to consider, where to put shade and the value of gardens to help cool the home. But it is not just for those buying or building or for the handy renovators – they can also help the business community, including real estate agents, builders, architects, landscapers and designers. Architect and homeowner Laura Hodgson said her family’s recently renovated home implemented the seven design tips featured in the booklet. With husband Chris, she wanted to

transform their modest beach shack into a home that worked with the beautiful climate and lifestyle. “The original home was a simple box with no direct connection to the front or rear yard and the site was a blank canvas for landscaping with loads of potential. “We initially started by landscaping the yard with native coastal species and a large shade tree in the back yard to help cool the site. “We opened up our small living space by creating an outdoor entertainment area that opens to the north and seamlessly merges with the indoor living space with large sliding doors; these work well in winter as they let the sunshine through and in summer, we get a great natural breeze flowing through the house. “When we purchased the home, we love that the kitchen was east-facing so it fills with the winter morning sun and the bedrooms are on the south side so stay cooler in summer. “The homes north-south orientation was

a deciding factor for us when we bought, and being in the know we had assessed this prior to purchasing. The compass will definitely come in handy to anyone looking to buy or renovate. “I think it’s great these design tools are available free to the community. They can help our newcomers develop a checklist of ideas to take to an open house inspection when they’re looking to buy a new home. “It can be daunting not knowing where to start and the booklet and compass are great starting points to help people talk to a builder or designer about making their home more comfortable, healthy and more affordable to live in without the cost of high electricity bills. “For my family, these renovations have turned our beach shack into something more comfortable and definitely more liveable for our fabulous climate.” These new educational design tools are available at Sunshine Coast Council’s website by searching Cool Homes. ●

WELCOMES CHRIS ROCHE TO THE TEAM

‘I arrived in Noosa thirty years ago from Brisbane and have never looked back. After a couple of years working out where I wanted to live I purchased our family home in Sunrise Beach, where my wife and I raised our two sons. This has remained our home ever since and we continue to enjoy the lifestyle that Noosa offers. After three decades in the finance industry, both working for a major bank and operating my own mortgage broking business, it was time for a change. My previous experience assisting buyers navigate the lending process fits nicely with my move to the real estate industry.

“

I like to work in a methodical way without using any high-pressure sales tactics. My biggest advantage is my extensive knowledge of Sunrise Beach. As a real estate agent, you are helping people navigate the processes of what is usually, the biggest value asset they have. It’s important to understand the reasons why people are looking to buy or sell and take a measured approach to helping them do that.

12571025-AV40-22

In my almost 30 years in Sunrise Beach, my love of running has seen me run through every street in the suburb and develop an extensive knowledge of the area. Being a long time local is invaluable when talking to buyers and sellers; the little insights like knowing the shortcuts to the beach or the best places to eat which gives me opportunity to add value to every transaction.’

I’m very excited to be joining such a prestigious brand and to be focusing on Sunshine Beach, where we’ve lived for 10 years and where my husband owns a successful business, Adrian J Hairdressing. We love Sunshine Beach and its laid-back vibe.

“

As an agent, we’re dealing with the largest investment most people make in their lives, so it can be a very stressful time for buyers and sellers alike; honesty and integrity are key. It is so important to gain the trust of a client given the enormity of the decision. Listening is another important skill to have, to be able to guide a seller or buyer through the process, to the point where they are comfortable and assist them to a successful outcome.

12571030-SN40-22

Sunshine Beach is a complex market, my deep understanding and extensive knowledge gives me an opportunity to create value and leverage great outcomes for both buyers and sellers.’
