Take time to remember Today, on Remembrance Day, a minute’s silence will be observed as it is every year on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month to commemorate the loss of Australian lives from all wars and conflicts.

Tewantin-Noosa RSL will hold a Remembrance Day ceremony at the war memorial on Poinciana Drive with troops assembling and the march to be held from 10.45am. The ceremony will include laying of wreaths.

In Australia and other allied countries, including New Zealand, Canada and the United States, 11 November became known as Armistice Day – a day to remember those who died in World War One. The day continues to be commemorated in allied countries.

After World War II, the Australian Government agreed to the United Kingdom’s proposal that Armistice Day be renamed Remembrance Day to commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars and has since been extended to all lives lost in wars and conflicts.

We remember.

Plan builds hope Council will consider development and rates concessions, partner with community housing providers and allow four-storey construction in district centres such as Noosa Junction and Tewantin, relaxing the 3-storey limit, for the creation of social and affordable housing under its new Housing Strategy.

Under the strategy adopted at a special meeting last Friday, councillors say they have taken a significant step toward meeting the shire’s social and affordable housing needs.

The strategy aims to support a vision for an inclusive Noosa community where everybody has access to safe, secure housing they can afford.

Released along with the housing strategy was a summary report prepared by consultants, Articulous, and details of community consultation on the Draft Housing Strategy which took place earlier this year in July-August.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the strategy responded to the growing community need for greater housing choice.

“Affordably priced housing plays a critical role in the health and wellbeing of people and their families, and social housing provides an important safety net for the community,” she said.

“This council is proactively addressing the worsening housing crisis and the strategy provides a clear direction of what steps are within our power to ensure people have access to safe housing.

“Right now there are 140 members of the community living rough, 15 with children.

“Workers can’t get accommodation. Businesses can’t find staff. They have no where to live.

“People are looking for accommodation.

They’re being forced out of rentals.“ Fundamental to the strategy’s success are strong partnerships with the State Government, Community Housing providers, private housing developers and on-going dialogue with the local community.

During the consultation on the draft strategy, 84 per cent of respondents were supportive of affordable and social housing in Noosa and 72 per cent supported council involvement in the process of securing it.

There was also strong support for residential development and redevelopment, in appropriate areas, to facilitate housing that is affordable for households on low to moderate incomes.

And survey respondents also supported the idea that Council should consider subsidising the delivery of more affordable housing

through reduction or waiving of fees, charges or rates.

“We need to work with all stakeholders, existing property owners and levels of government to keep pace with growing demand for social and affordable housing,” Cr Stewart said.

The Housing Strategy identifies planning scheme amendments to allow further small dwellings and housing choice within larger centres.

“It reinforces a recent change by the State Government to allow secondary dwellings (such as granny flats) to be rented to people outside of the household.“ “What we’re doing is looking at what the community told us to address as the most pressing issue in our shire,“ Cr Brian Stockwell said at Friday’s meeting.

EDITORIAL Phil Jarratt Journalist E: phil.jarratt@NoosaToday.com.au

We’ve become so inundated with scams it’s gotten to the point where you’re surprised to hear a human voice on an unknown phone call and not an automated voice threatening you, and you question the truth behind emails, websites, almost everything.

If you’re one of Medibank Private’s 9.7 million current or former customers or 500,000 health claimants you’d be concerned about the whereabouts of your hacked data and probably more concerned this week after the hackers demanded ransom or the release of data with Medibank’s understandable refusal, but the only advice to customers being to “remain vigilant“.

It’s not your imagination that we’re being scammed from every direction.

The latest report from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) estimates Australians lost about $2 billion in scams last year, just in financial costs, without calculating the emotional or life-changing toll that may result.

Topping the losses to scams were investment scams ($701m), payment redirection ($227m) and romance ($142m).

Topping the complaints on scams were identity theft (93,000), threats to life or arrest (32,000), false billing (21,000) and online shopping (20,000), but ACCC says only about 13 per cent of victims complain.

ACCC suggests we need to focus more on preventing scams connecting to victims and stopping money reaching scammers.

But how well can individuals protect themselves when big organisations like Optus and Medicare are falling victim?

Perhaps being vigilant is the best advice.

John praises organisers

By Ian Jobling Noosa Triathlon athlete John Grant is now back in Sydney with happy memories of Noosa hospitality and being one of the 48-strong Beyond Blue Support team that raised $133,000 for the charity.

John’s story started last May when he tried to enter the Triathlon and found all entry quotas were full.

“I emailed several charity groups in case there were cancellations and kept training.

“After the call from Beyond Blue telling me I was in the team, my training intensified. I had never competed in a Triathlon so I had no idea what to expect.

“After arriving in Noosa, our team, which had runners from New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, had a photoshoot on the beach and lunch the day before the event. What struck me was the friendly team spirit.

“I have a job with some responsibility on a large construction project. We employed several thousand workers through Covid and the strain on the mental health of our workforce has been very evident.

“My company offers several free counselling services to our direct employees including Mates in Construction and Beyond Blue.“ “On race day I was so incredibly inspired by all the warmth and kindness that surrounded the event. The volunteers were tremendously helpful and the other athletes kind and good natured. Families with homes lining the route were kindly hosing the runners down in the mid-morning heat.”

Then after the race John realised he had a problem – he had forgotten where he had left his rental car.

For many years, volunteers have organised the parking of vehicles and management of the Noosa Tri shuttle bus to transport athletes in the individual and team events, along with their support groups and spectators from St Andrews Sunshine Beach Church on Bi-Centennial Drive to the Hastings Street assembling area.

John Grant and the 48-strong Beyond Blue Triathletes on Noosa Main Beach; they raised in excess of $133,000.

The Noosa Tri volunteers, all from the Anglican Church of Noosa, also provide hospitality with complimentary tea, coffee, cool drinks, and a sausage-sizzle from 4am until 2pm.

It was near pack-up time when John Grant appeared on Bi-Centennial Drive – not on a returning shuttle bus – but very slowly on his bike.

He had finished the swim, cycle, run (his time was a commendable 2:51.29) and he was pleased with his effort, but very weary.

The trouble was he couldn’t recall where he had left his car hours earlier before boarding the shuttle bus.

When he asked for directions, John recalled that he had got on a bus near an oval. The helpful volunteer immediately thought of the rugby union ground at Sunshine Beach and

sent him off in that direction.

John knew he was lost when he was greeted at St Andrews Anglican Church alongside the ground by an offer of “coffee, water, sausagesizzle and chair” from Noosa Tri volunteers Joan Trusler and Jenny Marks.

After the break he gratefully accepted a carride to where he had parked his rental vehicle - the Australian Rules Football Oval on Weyba Road.

In an email to Noosa Today this week, John referred to the help and hospitality of the volunteers.

“I sincerely thank you for your kindness on Sunday, I was very grateful to receive a lift back to my car. A decade ago I would have had a paper street map with me; today, no smart phone, no map … different times.”

IGA open for business at Council-owned Sunrise shops exposure for the other businesses.

“Plus, the IGA’s opening offers Sunrise Beach residents another grocery shopping option, close to home.”

Council has signed a 10-year lease for the 305sqm tenancy, with further options also available.

The new store is the third in the Sunshine Coast region for franchisees Rachael and Todd O’Reilly, creating new job opportunities for Noosa locals.

“We’re really grateful to all of the locals who’ve stopped by to let us know they’re pleased that we’re opening. It’s made us feel really welcome,” Ms O’Reilly said.

“It’s a great mix of tenants in the complex.

There is a bit of everything here, which is fantastic, and the complex is beautiful - it’s surrounded by bush and it’s anchored right behind the whole suburb.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity with no other convenience options nearby until the Junction.

“The store will provide the usual convenience offering, however if you wanted to do your whole shop here you could,” she said.

Council opened Sunrise Shops in 1996.

The complex is a quintessential neighbourhood shopping centre with eight tenancies across 927sqm of floor space, including a chemist, GP clinic, bakery and liquor store.

Following an extended vacancy period within the anchor tenancy space, the Councilowned Sunrise Shops have welcomed an IGA supermarket to the retail precinct.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the opening of the new IGA supermarket on Wednesday was a win for ratepayers, local residents, and neighbouring businesses in the complex.

“Having a quality, long-term tenant in place ensures a steady income from this asset in support of Council’s strong financial position, which is good news for our ratepayers,” she said.

“The addition of a permanent anchor tenant to the complex will also boost foot traffic to the shopping centre, which helps provide

Noosa inclusion post-war

By Phil Jarratt While many Australians still pause for a minute’s silence to remember the fallen of the Great War of 1914-18, the “war to end all wars”, every year at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, since making a study of our local history, I choose on Remembrance Day, today, to also reflect on what I regard as the birth of an inclusive community in the newlyminted Noosa Shire.

It’s a story that begins at the turn of the last century, in the Lebanese town of RaasBaalbek, when young Nahum fell in love with a girl called Etore, whose parents advised her to flee the hardships and violence of the Ottoman Empire and make a new life in faraway Australia.

Nahum’s parents agreed and provided a willing uncle to chaperone the young couple on the long sea voyage. Within days of their arrival in Melbourne, they were married in St Patrick’s Cathedral, and soon after sailed for Queensland.

By the time they reached the Gympie goldfields in 1906, they had basic English, had anglicised into Ted and Edith, and had started a family.

On the goldfields, Ted formed a friendship with another miner, Ned Ely, whose father Bill had followed the path of several Gympie miners who had made good, and resettled the family on the banks of the Noosa River.

Ned painted such an appealing picture that Ted was soon sold. Soon after third child Maisie’s birth, the growing Massoud family moved to Gympie Terrace.

Here, over the years to come, the patriarch and matriarch would become better known to their small community as Jiddy and Sitty — Arabic for grandpa and grandma.

With several mouths to feed, the Massouds began fishing, and generally caught enough to sell a few fillets in their general store on the riverfront. At first they caught bream at night on lines, then progressed to nets to haul in large mullet catches.

After Jiddy bought a boat called Riverlight early in 1914, the family had to hire staff to help out with their fast-growing river enterprises.

In business and in community affairs on the Noosa River, the Massouds were only just getting started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated in Sarajevo in June 1914, setting off events that would culminate in World War I. In the coming years, the Massoud homeland of Lebanon, nominally allied with Germany as part of the Ottoman Empire, would be caught in the Middle Eastern crossfire and see half its population starved to death as supply lines were cut off.

We don’t know how much of an impact this had on the stolid Jiddy and Sitty when Australia entered the war as a member of the British Empire, and local boys began enlisting for the “grand adventure” that would see so many slaughtered on the beaches of Gallipoli and on the Western Front.

Since their culture had been subsumed by the Ottomans, many Lebanese in Australia

Jiddy cleaning the catch.

Three generations of Massouds, 1947. (known until the 1940s as Syrians) had little or no political affinity with their homeland, yet they were technically the enemy. Even while Jiddy and Sitty raised funds for the Noosa Shire Patriotic Appeal, hundreds of equally patriotic migrants were being herded into a hastily built internment camp next to the Enoggera Army Barracks in Brisbane.

Lebanese–Australian historian Dr Anne Monsour, whose grandparents came from the same village as Jiddy and Sitty, and who is related by marriage to the Noosa clan, wrote of the situation: “For Lebanese families in Australia, the First World War exacerbated their experience as outsiders and reminded them their acceptance was tenuous … In October 1914, the Commonwealth Parliament passed the War Precautions Act. As Turkish subjects, Lebanese were declared enemy aliens and placed under surveillance”.

Many Lebanese were interned for the duration of the war, but to the eternal credit of the new Noosa Shire, the hard-working, community-minded Massouds were among the new settlers who were protected from the authorities.

Noosa was not slow to answer the call to duty.

By February 1916, the shire chairman was able to report that more than 200 men from the shire population of 2000 had volunteered for the front, with many casualties and several deaths (by the end of the war, it would be 350 injured with 40 dead). On the home front, more than £3000 had been raised for the Patriotic Fund, a thousand of it on one day, with Jiddy Massoud and older sons George and Bill prominent among the fundraisers.

Then finally, on 11 November 1918, peace.

In Noosa Shire a week-long celebration

culminated in a torchlight Saturday night procession through the streets of Tewantin to the green beside the 400-year-old fig tree, which had been a meeting place for the Kabi Kabi for several hundred years before the arrival of the Europeans.

The civic fathers and business leaders gave thanks for the end of hostilities and paid homage to those who had made the supreme sacrifice.

Last but one to speak was Ted Jiddy Massoud, who stood proudly in the warm night air with his work shirt buttoned to the neck and his hair neatly slicked down, and, representing his extended clan and the fishing fleet of Noosa, gave thanks for the tireless work of the entire community — one they now called their own.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk addresses the party faithful.

Raucous welcome for PM

By Margie Maccoll About 2000 party faithful gathered at Novotel Twin Waters on Saturday for the 2022 Queensland Labor Party conference to hear from Labor Party elite including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Party members, many with children, greeted each other outside like family before entering the auditorium where they rose to their feet, clapping and cheering, as political leaders took to the stage in a presidential-style address.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Treasurer Jim Chalmers revved up the audience before some stirring music was played and a beaming Prime Minister made his way through the crowd to the stage to rapturous applause.

“What a cracking Queensland welcome. I’m happy to be leading a Labor government,” he said.

“I love Queensland. Some southerners have moved up here, figures show that’s happened, and why wouldn’t you want to live in Queensland.”

He praised party members for their efforts in gaining Labor’s election win.

“Never underestimate the difference you make, giving your time and energy, knocking on doors,” he said.

And he praised Annastacia Palaszczuk’s leadership, saying Queensland was a template for all governments, operating through respect, straight talking, taking responsibility and matching words with actions.

On a national scale Labor was now tasked with “cleaning up the mess of a wasted decade,” he said.

Labor would do so with a majority of women - the first government in Australia to have more women than men with 54 out of 103 women in the Caucas, Mr Albanese boasted.

A 15 per cent pay rise to aged care workers - “the heroes of the pandemic”, a commitment to build one million affordable houses, renewable energy and the implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, were commitments he gave from Labor.

An elated Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

“A better future is what we will deliver together,” he said.

There were a few jibes at the former LNP government which brought some laughs from the crowd.

The Prime Minister reflected on his amazement at former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who being given the honour of being the PM, chose to provide himself several more ministerial positions - “and not tell anyone”, calling the action “an extraordinary series of events”.

He spoke about the LNP’s opposition to Labor’s push for increased wages, saying, “they looked at the title [of the report] - “Secure wage, better pay” - didn’t read it”.

Before the Prime Minister’s arrival, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk spoke of her improved

relationship with the Federal Government.

“He gets Queensland. He understands our issues. Instead of attacks, I get phone calls, meetings and good, firm handshakes,” she said.

“We have a government that’s agile and driven by Labor values of fairness, equality and dignity.”

Ms Palaszczuk spoke about the state government’s energy and jobs plan that would provide 70 per cent of renewable energy by 2032 through a clean energy revolution and the construction of the largest pumped hydrogen facility and delivery of 100,000 new jobs.

She said the government would deploy Qbuild to manufacture prefabricated houses from a new factory in Eagle Farm to help ease

Treasurer Jim Chalmers speaks to the crowd. housing pressures, 2500 additional hospital beds would be delivered over six years and a $700 million cancer centre would be built in Queensland.

“We have the strongest economic growth in the nation. The opportunities are endless,” she said.

“Our best days are ahead of us.”

Treasurer Jim Chalmers spoke about a global economy downturn and the pressures of an ongoing war in Europe that would mean hard days ahead giving rise to a responsible budget, but an optimistic Prime Minister he knew would make the right call for the right reasons.

“We know a changing government is our big chance to change the country for the better,” he said.

Council plan builds hope From page 1 There were concerns raised during consultation that the provision of additional housing should not be at the expense of other values such as other protection of open space and conservation land, low scale / low rise-built form character, nor should it lead to congestion and overpopulation.

Cr Stockwell said the building of more houses at the loss of green space was “unacceptable“. We’re not sprawling. We’re trying to ensure more housing within walking distance of schools, public transport, service centres, discouraging the use of vehicles, he said.

Cr Stewart said the strategy continues to protect the character and cultural values of the community, while integrating new affordable and social housing within the community.

There was strong community sentiment that the existing housing stock should be used to house residents rather than be used to accommodate visitors or be locked up for the occasional use by absent owners as holiday homes.

The Housing Strategy highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of short-term accommodation in the shire and flagged further amendments to planning policy and compliance if it continued to limit permanent housing opportunities.

Council figures determined there were more than 5200 self-contained dwellings used or available for short-term visitor accommodation.

On Census night last year, Noosa had 4810 unoccupied private dwellings which didn’t include motels or resort.

Mayor Stewart plans to write to vacant and short term let property owners, asking them to consider renting out their properties to locals amid the deepening housing crisis.

“By writing to these property owners, we’re acknowledging that this crisis can’t be addressed in isolation and requires a community response,“ she said.

State government-bought land at 30-32 Doonella Street, Tewantin and is working with council to build social and affordable housing.

“This is a social disaster that impacts everyone in Noosa because business owners and social services are unable to fill vacancies, which affects everything from your morning coffee to provision of health services.“ Further community concerns were raised about more housing taking the population above the region’s carrying capacity or population cap.

Cr Stockwell said the last Census reported

21,000 houses in Noose with two-thirds of them one or two person households. He said the carrying capacity that was calculated in the 1990s had not taken such low household rates into account.

Cr Joe Jurisevic said the carrying capacity had been calculated in the 1990s at 65,000 people so Noosa’s current population of 56,800 provided scope for growth.

Cr Stewart said the Housing Strategy in-

cluded regular monitoring and review to ensure any actions implemented were successful in meeting the strategy’s objective to enable housing choice, diversity and affordability to meet the current and future needs of the community.

“We’re not there yet but this is one step closer to addressing community needs. The community told us they want action. This provides tangible outcomes and action,“ she said.

Tourism operators awards Noosa’s tourism and hospitality providers have been recognised with multiple top placings at the Queensland Tourism Awards 2022.

After a bounce-back year, more than 1000 tourism operators and individuals from around the state came together for the 2022 Queensland Tourism Awards at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre last Friday night.

RACV Noosa Resort scooped up two prestigious awards, once again taking out the RACQ People’s Choice Awards – Accommodation, as well as gold in the Self Contained Accommodation category.

Creative Tours and Events won gold for Excellence in Food Tourism, and Noosaville landmark Pelican Boat Hire won gold in the Tourism Retail and Hire Services Award.

Sunshine Beach destination restaurant Humble on Duke won silver for the Tourism Restaurants and Catering Services award, while the Noosa Visitor Information Centre won silver in the Visitor Information Services category.

Beyond Noosa, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort won the Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism, while Australia Zoo won bronze for the Outstanding Contribution by a Volunteer or Volunteer Group award, Montville’s Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat took silver in the Hosted Accommodation category, and Amaze World won bronze in the Tourist Attractions category.

Lady Musgrave Experience took home two awards, with silver in the Unique Accommodation category, and bronze in the Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism.

Tourism Noosa Acting chief executive officer Susan Ewington said it was testament to the strength of the local tourism industry that there were so many Noosa businesses among the top placings.

“I applaud this great industry and its people for the innovation and resilience they have displayed,” he said.

Queensland recorded its highest ever intrastate visitor rate, noting a 21.5 per cent increase totalling $12.4 billion.

It’s special to be able to celebrate Queenslanders supporting Queenslanders at this year’s awards after what has been a tumultuous couple of years for the industry,” Mr Fraser said.

“The past two years have redefined how people live, work and travel, and the intrastate tourism we

are experiencing is directly correlated to this. But this exponential growth doesn’t come without major challenges for our operators who continue to battle with a lack of workforce.“ Queensland Airports chief executive officer Amelia Evans said this past year has been a mix of recovery and rebuilding for Queensland Airports Limited and the entire Queensland tourism industry.

“It’s so pleasing to be able to bring the industry together again after the challenges over the Covid-19 impacted period, in which the aviation and tourism industries were hit hard, following by a period of passenger numbers rapidly rebuilding,“ she said.

Great Walk cliffhanger OPINION PHIL JARRATT The long-awaited decision on the future of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) governing the controversial Cooloola Great Walk ecotourism project is expected to be decided by a small handful of votes when the Kabi Kabi community meets in Gympie tomorrow (Saturday 12 November).

Sources close to the government-backed project and to the Kabi Kabi Native Title claimant group told Noosa Today that it could go either way after a frenetic week of lobbying, with a non-Kabi environmental protester being escorted from a Kabi Kabi consultation on the issue last weekend, and a Brisbane online newspaper claiming “the Queensland government has delayed key private ecotourism projects in national parks for ‘further government consideration’,” only to retract the article the next day.

The first was an attempt to infiltrate a meeting that had been advertised as being for the Kabi Kabi community only, apart from the invited presenters from the Great Walk proponents.

The second was a clumsy attempt at declaring the Cooloola Great Walk a dead issue, based on a new Queensland government tour-

ism report which said no such thing.

It seemed everyone was getting a little overexcited, but this can happen when there is a void of information surrounding an important decision.

However, both these seemingly inconsequential events have apparently achieved the objective of realigning the voting body.

The problem is that no one really knows how many, if any, have crossed the floor.

And the Kabi Kabi community is maintaining the cone of silence.

It’s trickier to pick than an ALP faction fight.

A few weeks back in this newspaper I wrote that the smart money was on the ILUA getting up.

Well, the smart money has left the table. No one really knows.

What does it mean if the ILUA is rejected?

It would mean that one of the two future guardian groups of the Great Sandy National Park Cooloola Wilderness (Queensland Government and Kabi Kabi) had said no to the Cooloola Great Walk Ecotourism Project, and it would be political suicide for the other group to think that it could proceed.

QCWA backs housing bid

By Ingrid Jackson At the state-wide Queensland CWA conference in Toowoomba, Tewantin-Noosa branch joined forces with Eumundi branch to support QCWA’s motion on advocating for more affordable housing, especially for older women.

Tewantin-Noosa also supported Eumundi’s addition of an important clause – advocacy to prevent women ageing into poverty and homelessness.

The motion was carried unanimously with applause by CWA conference participants from all over Queensland.

Tewantin-Noosa branch president Leigh McCready said, “Affordable housing is one of the key issues facing women in Noosa Shire, since house prices and rents have skyrocketed.

Our CWA branch lost a wonderful contributing member because she could no longer afford to rent her Tewantin home.”

Janet Millington, president of the Eumundi branch, said, “Providing affordable housing only addresses the final symptom of a raft of problems. It is essential to address the root cause.”

Jennifer Gleeson, Tewantin-Noosa vice president who seconded the amendment, later said, “It’s about preventing the descent of older women into poverty.”

Stephanie Ryder, QCWA Eumundi branch advocacy chair and co-author of the research paper Queensland Women at Risk of Aging into Poverty and Homelessness – How Should We Respond?, warned, “We are already seeing a tsunami of women - the girls of the 1950s,1960s and 1970s - facing poverty and

Ambulance officers came to the rescue of a 95-year-old Carters Ridge farmer.

Janet Millington, Jennifer Gleeson, Ingrid Jackson and Stephanie Ryder homelessness. If we do not take action in addressing the causes that overpowering wave will be followed by an even larger one as the girls from the 1980s and the 1990s begin their journeys into aging and potential poverty and homelessness.”

Ingrid Jackson, Tewantin-Noosa vice president, added, “Whenever governments make policy decisions, we encourage them to consider the impacts on women. For example, women are more likely to be casuals, yet JobKeeper did not apply to many casuals. Instead the government encouraged people to dip into their superannuation. A large number of women, who in the first place had less superannuation than men, now have nothing for their old age. Such unintended consequences must stop.”

Elderly man stuck for days The Queensland Ambulance Service on Tuesday went to the rescue of a 95-year-old Carters Ridge farmer who had fallen off his bogged tractor and got stuck in the mud for several days.

QAS operations supervisor Shaun Bright said man stepped off the tractor after it became bogged which caused him to fall and suffer a medical incident.

Officers considered the man to be hypothermic and severely dehydrated and with several other co-morbidities, he was transferred to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

“It was absolutely incredible to see the condition he was in,“ Mr Bright said.

“He was in an altered conscious state. He was covered from head to toe in mud. He had cuts and abrasions and bruises, trying to get himself off the ground.

“It was sad to see his injuries. He was very stoic. He works a property himself without assistance.“ Mr Bright said a neighbour alerted emergency services to the man’s predicament after finding him on the farm.

The neighbour had planned to conduct some work with him on the farm and had been trying to ring him but after a couple of days of no contact he went to check up on him.

Countdown to schoolies The countdown until school’s out is slowly but surely approaching zero, with just one week until thousands of school leavers prepare to descend on holiday locations around Australia for Schoolies Week.

Simultaneously, anxious parents are preparing to send their children away for the celebrations.

Some parents can feel nervous about their child being away for an extended period of time, and that’s why the Red Frogs are here, to provide tips to parents to best prepare their teen for safe celebrations!

Tourism industry unites to champion First Nations The Queensland tourism industry has come together to champion First Nations tourism at the state’s premier Indigenous tourism event, the 2022 Destination IQ conference.

An initiative of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), hundreds of industry delegates and operators gathered on Wednesday to deepen relationships and understanding in the state’s tourism sector.

QTIC chief executive officer Brett Fraser said as an industry that puts people and land at the core of its service, the relationship our sector has with Indigenous culture and Country is hugely important.

“Destination IQ showcases First Nations tourism throughout the state and encourages everyone within our industry to collectively support the development of First Nations tourism experiences and products,” he said.

“We hope to lead the way in increasing the representation of Indigenous-owned businesses and Indigenous voices in tourism across Australia.”

The spotlight at this year’s Destination IQ was on the introduction of a Best Practice Guide for Working with First Nations Tourism in Queensland.

The Best Practice Guide represents a first in the state’s tourism arena.

The Queensland tourism industry has come together to champion First Nations tourism.

A collaboration between Indigenous groups, QTIC and the Queensland Government, the Guide was produced in response to a growing demand from industry for protocols on engaging with Country and First Nations people in culturally appropriate ways.

“We’re increasingly hearing from operators, visitors, and agencies who want to properly understand the practices involved in acknowledging and respecting Indigenous

nesses and visitors alike. From the boardroom to the tour bus, the protocols can be followed by anyone who wishes to engage with First Nations people in the tourism sector.”

The Best Practice Guide is free to use and widely available on the Queensland Tourism Industry Council website at qtic.com.au/indigenous-tourism/best-practice-guide-forworking-with-first-nations-tourism/

culture, commodities, and Country,” Mr Fraser said.

“As more and more visitors seek out authentic cultural experiences, there’s a growing awareness of the need to respect the traditions and practices of the people who have lived on Country for 60,000 years.

“We hope that the Guide will help ensure that the lands, cultural practices, and stories of Indigenous people are respected by busi-

Parkridge Noosa’s glory Peregian Beach-based developer Altum Property Group has won the UDIA Queensland’s prestigious best Medium Density Development for their Parkridge Noosa project at the 2022 UDIA State awards.

Altum Property Group director Rob McCready said he was thrilled to win the award as it was testimony to the vision and dedication of his staff, contractors and suppliers.

“Parkridge Noosa was developed on a unique 5.44ha parcel of land which was almost entirely enveloped in protected parkland which sits between Noosa National Park (Weyba Section), the Girraween Nature Reserve, and the Noosa Springs Golf Club and Resort and delivered unparalleled views of Lake Weyba.

“This project has been an incredible journey for our business over the past five years and the pinnacle has been the UDIA Queensland award.

“Alex and I grew up in and around Noosa in the 1980s and we knew this location really well. Unfortunately over the past two decades it became an illegal dump site so it’s been very rewarding to transform it into a multi-award winning subtropical resort style development.

“Our ability to take a disused sand mine and transform it into a stunning 179 dwelling mixed use development highlights the skill and dedication of our team and our collective ability to create a harmonious environment between the mixed use project and the nearby Girraween Nature Reserve,” Rob said.

Fellow director Alex Rigby said feedback from the judges has been based around the project’s ability to deliver much more than the residential aspects of the development.

“The community and social infrastructure which includes Peter Kuruvita inspired Alba restaurant and providore, a high quality gym as well as the landscaped open spaces and paths which provide great connectivity to the Noosa National Park and surrounds which provides benefits to the whole community.

“The pathways which were installed surrounding the development included plant palette and landscape design to encourage the integration of wildlife from the reserve and provide a corridor for transition across the site while dedicated park and open landscaped areas are used by residents for recreation as well as habitat for wildlife.

“From our point of view this feedback from

Alex Rigby and Rob McCready. the judges is really rewarding as all of the social and community infrastructure doesn’t necessarily benefit the developer from a financial perspective but it does provide a significant positive lasting legacy for current and future residents,” Alex said.

Parkridge Noosa also took out the 2020 AIH Green Space Urban Award.

1EIGHT takes on van park A new operator will take over the management of Council’s Noosa River Holiday Park this month.

Council has awarded experienced management company 1EIGHT a five-year contract for the holiday park, with further options to extend.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the company was an experienced provider of accommodation management services, adopting an innovative and modern approach.

“1EIGHT manages seven other holiday parks in Queensland, including Noosa Council’s other campgrounds at Noosa North Shore and Boreen Point so they have a sound track record, and we know firsthand the good job they do,” she said.

1EIGHT was one of two companies to tender for the contract, with the current operator

opting not to apply for a further term.

“We will start a contractor handover period early this month and look forward to working with 1EIGHT as they take the reins.

“We thank our outgoing operators for the great work they’ve done overseeing the management of the popular holiday park over the past five years.”

Noosa River Holiday Park offers 102 powered sites and 22 unpowered sites, with the riverfront facility accommodating more than 15,000 domestic and internal visitors each year.

The site is a State Government Reserve for Camping and Recreation under control of Council as Trustee.

“The new contract will pave the way for a range of innovations to enhance the guest experience at the holiday park,” the Mayor said.

The Chittick family, with a photo taken 17 years earlier, have been visiting the same site at the Noosa River Caravan Park for 37 years.

Funding make Noosa Coast Guard training possible

By Margie Maccoll Noosa Coast Guard has been able to train a group of new recruits to operate an inflatable life raft, a requirement of their accreditation, thanks to a $5000 donation from Bendigo Bank enabling the purchase and repacking of a reusable demo model life raft.

Flotilla training officer Phil Gallagher said it was only in a “worst case scenario“ and one not to date faced by the local Coast Guard to abandon their rescue vessels but the shipboard safety procedure was an Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) requirement of staff training.

The compact, eight-man life raft was deployed and inflated in a couple of minutes with the help of Coast Guard veterans on Sunday while new volunteers were taught how to operate and manoeuvre the vessel.

Bendigo Bank Tewantin-Noosa branch manager Mark Gielis said the bank was happy to support the voluntary service that re-

ceived little government support and relied mostly on donations.

“They exist as a community service to help people in distress in the water,“ he said.

“We’ve been supplying them for a good number of years. They wouldn’t have been able to do the training if they didn’t have a demo life raft.

“One of the things for us is sponsoring a lot of organisations. We try to find ones that have an enduring impact. This is a very solid community endeavour we should support.“ Noosa Coast Guard commander Ian Hutchins said they were grateful to Bendigo Bank for sponsoring them and to Servitec: survival technology company that went out of its way to deliver the life raft in time for training.

With the Coast Guard in operation 24 hours a day and their busiest time of year during the summer holidays just around the corner, they welcomed the new team of volunteers.

In search of the Shortcut

By Phil Jarratt At about 8.30am on Wednesday 26 October 1870, five members of the Gympie Progress Association’s Noosa Route Inspection Subcommittee set out on horseback from the brandnew Northumberland Hotel in the centre of the collection of mining camps that was rapidly becoming a town.

Their mission: to see for themselves the progress of the horse and coach track taking the most direct, albeit it rough, route from the goldfields to the proposed township and port facility on the lower Noosa River, for which the Progress Association had commissioned, somewhat reluctantly, the services of the wellknown bushman and entrepreneur Walter Hay, later to become famous as the father of Noosa.

One hundred and fifty two years and one week after the route committee saddled up and left the pub, I set out on my trusty e-bike on much the same mission, although mine was more to report on the ravages of time and neglect on this once and briefly important trade and tourism route.

Never having seen a detailed map of the track that became known as The Shortcut, I had only a newspaper report of the route committee’s findings to guide me, plus Walter Hay’s frequent outpourings in the letters’ columns of the Queensland colonial press about his obsession with turning the flow of the Six-Mile Creek from west to east, in which he indicated that no white man knew the creek better, since he had once slashed a track along its banks.

Oh, and I could follow the road signs, although this can be fraught with furphies.

For example, Old Noosa Road is a good one, whereas Old Coach Way may lead to a replica tavern built a century later, or a new estate of colonial-style McMansions.

By 1870, Walter Hay, then 37, had already made a lot of money (much of it from ownership of the Prince’s Ferry service at Marybor-

ough, which carried prospectors’ drays and carts from the port to start their journey to the Gympie goldfields) which was why, before receiving the commission to begin cutting the Shortcut, he had already cut his way through much of the scrub and had indicated his confidence in the new Noosa River town by snapping up portions of land around the site under “conditional purchase”. In fact Hay was cutting his way along Six-Mile Creek when his wife Mary Ann went into labour with twins at a family property near Tiaro in June 1870 and died in childbirth. Hay didn’t receive the news

for more than a week, missing the funeral in Maryborough.

But he was undeterred and as a tragic year neared its end, he was close to completing the task, telling the Gympie men in November that it would be coach-ready by Christmas, he just needed another £2000.

In response to the demand for transport to the goldfields since Nash’s famous 1867 strike, the Cobb and Co coach company had begun a twice-weekly service from Brisbane along a track known as the Gympie Road, a tortu-

ous three-day journey over mountains and through river fords and punt crossings, with 10 staging points along the way.

As the enormity of the goldrush became known, the return journey from goldfields to Brisbane also became the target of bushrangers, eager to relieve the diggers of their new wealth. There had to be a better way, and Walter Hay believed it was his direct coach connection with a new port on the lower Noosa River, which had been surveyed for the first time in 1869 and was already being used by steamers to cart timber floated downriver from Mill Point over the bar and on to the capital.

The route committee men reported in 1870: “The road, which runs in a south-easterly direction to the sea coast, is variously estimated at from 30 to 35 miles in length from Gympie.

The road for the first 16 or 17 miles lies chiefly through ridgy country, is well-defined, and available for ordinary traffic.”

Which is pretty much as a cyclist finds it today, once the bustling city of Gympie has been cleared.

The morning the committee men rode out, the Northumberland Hotel was a very basic, one-level watering hole, but a decade later it was replaced by a glorious Victorian era building that burnt to the ground 90 years later.

The ‘70s vernacular-styled thing that replaced it now functions as council office space.

Forever the romantic, your cycling correspondent decided to move the starting point just around the corner to the magnificent heritagelisted Railway Hotel on Station Street, which seemed more appropriate and from which point it is an easy cruise on the tourist route around the eastern fringe of town, past the beautiful Lake Alford Park and mining and historical museum at Monkland to join the Noosa Road.

Actually, the suburban street called Noosa Road heads east out of town in a wide loop, which was probably designed to flood-proof the coach route, but meeting it south of Monkland is more direct and a lot more interesting.

From here you only have to pass the Gympie bypass roadworks and Mothar Mountain Speedway before you are into the “ridgy country”, following the Six-Mile valley upstream from close to where the creek drains into the Mary River.

Cruising through forests on an empty road this sunny spring afternoon, I felt I’d ticked all the boxes when the Cobb and Co Nine Mile Campground came into view, not long after the road had gone to gravel at Tandur, and mysteriously, Noosa Road had become Old Noosa Road.

I felt in need of a cold beverage and my bike battery needed a charge, so I pulled into this lovely bush camping and glamping site that was once the first staging stop on the Shortcut, known as the Nine-Mile.

While the bike charged I took my drink into the tin shed museum on the property and browsed the random collection of old tools, saddles and a couple of sulkies before I found on a wall in a row of old pictures framed under dirty glass, my own little motherlode.

It was a replica map of the Shortcut, showing in some detail the route, the horse changes and ale houses – the best I’d seen, and if not entirely accurate, at least making geographic sense.

I took a photo of The Era Cobb and Co Gympie Service map, along with the next frame, which was yet another telling of the myth (I think) of Noosa fisherman Joseph Keyser pushing his wheelbarrow along the rough and tumble 60 kilometres of the Shortcut to sell his fish and mud crabs on the goldfields.

I’ve always doubted the veracity of the story, but now, having cycled the entire route, I’ve firmed into disbelief.

Joe Keyser was about the same age I am now when he is supposed to have pushed his laden barrow over tracks I struggled through pushing a bike.

The relatively short hop to Cooran was hilly and tough in parts, but the heat of the sun had gone and I stopped to explore the crossings of Six-Mile Creek as I got closer to town, imagining where old Walter might have made camp long before publican William Casey had established Casey’s Halfway House and Stables (long gone) in what is now the centre of Cooran.

Casey sold to Bill Martin in 1881, whose son Dan Martin owned a carrying team carting goods from Tewantin to Gympie.

His team of “six lovely greys” was the pride of the district, according to Tewantin pioneer Charles St John Carter.

While the entrepreneurial Bill Martin expanded his hotel interests in Gympie and elsewhere, and built the Railway Hotel when the line reached Cooran in 1889, Dan became the Noosa representative on the Widgee Divisional Board and went on to establish Martin’s Hotel in Tewantin, which by the turn of the century had a reputation rivalled only by the Royal Mail.

These days in Cooran the thirsty traveller can remove the dust of the road quite efficiently at the Noosa Hinterland Brewing Company in the former Alfredson’s Joinery, a heritage-listed remnant of colonial slab carpentry which makes a perfect pub.

I shouted myself a Cooran Crusher (“pilsner and pale ale malts, neutral ale yeast, designed to drink cold when you’re hot”) and sat out on the verandah and reread the subcommittee’s 1870 route notes, saved on my phone: “The chief obstacles to traffic on Mr Hay’s track consist of three or four scrubs, about the same number of creeks, and some low-lying swampy country within three or four miles of the proposed township. Of the scrubs referred to, two have been already cut and cleared, and the third (a very heavy scrub, of about a mile in length, and six or seven miles distant from Tewantin) is now being cleared by Mr Hay, who has also cut the approaches on either side of three creeks, and logged several of the crossings in the gullies and creeks.”

I knew that to remain true to what I knew of the route, I’d be mountain biking parts of the Noosa Trails Network recommended for experts only, which indicated an arduous day ahead, so it was only the one Crusher for this traveller, whose digs for the night were up a long and winding incline several kilometres out of town.

A quick stop at the general store, and equipped with the makings of a basic dinner in my backpack, I cycled into the hills with the lowering sun at my back.

Next week, the intrepid but elderly e-biker gets a little bit lost in the Ringtail scrub.

Elwood is home again An endangered sub-adult green turtle has been released back into the wild by Sea Life Sunshine Coast Aquarium with the assistance of Coast Guard Mooloolaba.

The turtle named Elwood was found stranded at North Peregian Beach on Thursday 30 June.

Coolum Coast Care volunteer Jo safely transported the unwell marine turtle to Sea Life Sunshine Coast for specialised veterinary assessment and rehabilitation.

“After a thorough veterinary assessment it was determined that the turtle was suffering from low blood glucose, abnormal liver enzymes and a nasty burrowing barnacle wound,” said Brittany Attwood, Vet Nurse at Sea Life Sunshine Coast.

After 125 days in care, Elwood, who now weighs in at 33kg and 70cm in length, was finally given a clean bill of health and cleared for release.

The team at Sea Life Sunshine Coast along with the generous support of Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association (AVCGA) boarded one of the fleet’s vessels with their very special cargo and set sail to Old Woman Island (Mudjimba Island).

Once a suitable location was determined, Elwood was carefully lowered by the team towards the water’s surface for release before disappearing back into the big ol’ blue.

There are seven species of marine turtles in the world and six occur in Australian waters.

All six species have suffered population declines as a result of pollution, entanglement in fishing nets, plastic bag ingestion, depletion of food stocks, boat-related injuries, loss of

Sea Life Sunshine Coast’s Turtle Rehabilitation Centre is behind the scenes due to the high level of care the team need to provide each individual turtle.

Sea Life Sunshine Coast runs a Behind The Scenes Tour, which gives guests the unique opportunity to visit the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, meet the rescued sea turtles and learn how the team plays a key role in their recovery.

Check out this pathway to your next adventure An exciting new link in the Sunshine Coast’s beautiful coastal pathway is open and ready for adventure.

Whether you’re riding a bike, enjoying a scenic stroll with family and friends or tackling a cardio-boosting run, this is the place to be.

The 850-metre Warana section of Coastal Pathway, which straddles the Division 3 and 4 boundary, forms part of the 73-kilometrelong route from Bells Creek in the south to Coolum in the north.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 3 Councillor Peter Cox said he was pleased to officially open the new link which had been well received by the community.

“What don’t you love about the sweeping vistas as you walk, ride, run, scoot or skate alongside the open beach,” Cr Cox said.

“One of my favourite sections is between Palkana Wetland and Beach Access 234, where there’s a 100-metre raised boardwalk allowing users to travel through a seasonal tea tree wetland.

“This section offers a chance for our community to hear the site come to life during frog mating season or see it explode with butterflies at various times of the year.”

Bush revegetation works are ongoing, including managing weeds and assisted generation of native vegetation.

The long-term bush regeneration and offset planting is an important part of the Coastal Pathway project which has seen almost 900 plants and trees planted in this stage of works.

The Coastal pathway is part of the Sunshine Coast Council Community Strategy 2019-2041 which empowers our community to live a healthy and active lifestyle and

The pathway is being completed in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said as a keen bike rider and runner, he understood the importance of delivering more active transport infrastructure for Queenslanders like this shared path in Warana.

“We know that on average, every dollar we invest in active transport infrastructure will return nearly five dollars in economic benefit to Queensland with improved health outcomes, reduced traffic congestion, and lower transport costs.

Koalas on the Move.

Be aware!

The number of koalas being injured or killed on Noosa roads is increasing each year.

Most strikes occur during breeding season when koalas are on the move. Juveniles are dispersing from their mothers to find their own home range while others are looking for a mate.

BETWEEN JULY AND DECEMBER KOALAS ARE ON THE MOVE. BE AWARE. DRIVE WITH CARE.

If you see a sick or injured koala, call it in! Phone 5527 2444.

The Guide THE LIVING ROOM 10, Friday, 7.30pm

NUDE NEXT DOOR ABC TV, Tuesday, 9.30pm

Have you ever wondered how the fun-loving presenters on this longrunning lifestyle show manage to whip up vibrant and inspirational segments week in and week out?

The Living Room has been a reliably jovial Friday evening stalwart for the past 11 years, but the show is taking a year-long break so that Amanda Keller, Miguel Maestre, Barry Du Bois and Dr Chris Brown (pictured, right, with Maestre) can have a well-earned breather. While fans fret about whether they’ll temporarily defect to Better Homes and Gardens, lap up these final episodes.

Tonight, Miguel helps throw a surprise 60th anniversary seafood lunch and Chris lands in Fiji.

Digital reporter Siobhan Marin (pictured) lifts the covers on the booming business of “democratised” porn in this timely, thought-provoking Compass special. In recent years, the rise of OnlyFans has seen women and amateur makers of erotica disrupt the male-dominated business of online porn. Today, everyday people can sell their own content for a subscription fee online, with OnlyFans amassing than 1.5 million creators. But is it an empowering movement or merely another form of women being taken advantage of?

It’s a disheartening insight as Marin speaks with the young women using the platform, laying bare the risks and repercussions.

SILENT WITNESS ABC TV, Sunday, 9.20pm

It was only a matter of time. After years of fruitless flirting, are the writers behind one of the longestrunning forensic crime dramas in Britain finally giving into the romantic pressure? In tonight’s season 24 finale, Nikki (Emilia Fox, pictured) and her sidekick Jack (David Caves) share a moment that will have fans either all flustered or covering their eyes. It’s a bold move for a series’ two main characters to cross the flirting boundary: once done there’s no going back. Despite Nikki declaring that their romance would be “totally unethical,” temperatures rise, with the background emergency situation edge-of-your-seat stuff. Season 25 can’t come quickly enough.

Reality check: Brihony Dawson hosts new series The Challenge Australia.

PICK OF THE WEEK THE CHALLENGE AUSTRALIA 10, Monday, 7.30pm

There’s something oddly gratifying about witnessing this lineup of former reality TV contestants get pushed to their absolute limits in this new series, premiering tonight. Hosted by Brihony Dawson, who takes the mantle as Australia’s first non-binary TV presenter, the players are thrown together as couples at the whim of an algorithm to compete in back-breaking challenges. Featuring Brittany Hockley (The Bachelor) Cyrell Paule (MAFS), Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm (I’m A Celebrity) and Ciarran Stott (The Bachelorette), among others, there’s a $100,000 prize for each male and female winner. Meltdowns and hookups promise to be the name of this game.

There is nothing quite like fresh fruit and vegetables. ERLE LEVEY catches up with Kay and Jeff Kelloway of Pomona’s Little Pantry.

The little shop that could You can always put a couple of extra spuds in the pot ... it’s a saying mum lived by when unexpected visitors would drop by for a meal.

It’s just as relevant today as people come to terms with the ever-changing world.

That’s what Kay and Jeff Kelloway are finding at their fruit and veggie shop Pomona’s Little Pantry - you cannot beat good quality fruit and vegetables as they stretch the budget that bit further.

Just as importantly, it’s healthy food.

What started as a laneway in the 1980s has been transformed over the years into a vibrant hub for the local community to do their shopping.

The Little Pantry is an outlet for farmers and producers within the Gympie, Noosa and Sunshine Coast hinterland areas to display their goods, whether that be locally-grown organic avocados or tomatoes, exotic fruit such as black sapote or red angel pears, honey, jam or chutney.

The shop has evolved over time but more recently under Kay and Jeff‘s care the amount of shelving has been increased dramatically and so has the range of products.

Most are locally sourced but others come from areas such as Byron Bay. And when produce is not available locally in season they rely on North Queensland or southern markets.

It’s a little shop that can offer fresh, local and wholesome produce, much of it organic as well as conventional, gourmet groceries, dairy and health products, also more general lines.

On the wet morning when I visited the shop, Kay tells me she is a Mary Valley girl who grew up at Amamoor, while Jeff is from Pomona.

That’s where they met and recently Kay has been able to encourage Jeff back to the Valley where they have a 56-acre property that helps supply the fruit shop.

There, with Mount Cooroora to the north and Kenilworth Bluff to the south, they grow everything from sunflowers to spinach, silver beet and kale to zucchini, pumpkin, capsicum and a variety of herbs.

The sunflowers are just about to bloom, while the capsicum, chillies and pumpkins have been planted.

Deliveries are coming in the back of the shop from trucks and utilities as I look around.

Kenilworth and Cooloola dairy products are stocked as well as Coyo organic coconut yogurt that is produced on the Sunshine Coast.

Pomona honey, eggs from Bunya Grove Farm, Sandy Creek and Forage Farm, mushrooms from Tagigan Road - it’s a fascinating list.

Kay and Jeff bought the Imbil farm four years ago after living in Pomona for almost three decades.

“It’s an old dairy farm originally,’’ Kay says.

“There’s really good soil but a lot of old pineapple farms are in the surrounding area they take a lot of the nutrients out of the soil.

“There used to be a lot of beans grown in the region as well.

“The farm has got the same cottage on it that was the original farmhouse.

“The main house is further up the hill.

“We don’t grow a lot of produce yet. Just the small crops but it’s pretty intense so we don’t need much.

“The rest is for grazing. Sometimes the neighbours put their dairy cows on it if there’s no feed.’’

Jeff is a chippy and he does a lot of work with Mitre 10 hardware stores - repairs and maintenance - and spends as much time as he can improving the farm.

“The farm was pretty rundown when we bought it,’’ Kay tells me. “The grass was waist high.

“Jeff stopped work for a couple of years when we bought the farm to tidy it up.’’

Before they bought the shop Kay was working at the markets with some friends - in the fruit and veggie side of things.

Kay had worked there for a couple of days a week prior to taking the farm on.

“When I heard it was for sale I went home and said to Jeffery, okay I think we gonna buy 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 November, 2022

It pays to buy quality. It’s going to last longer, it’s good for you, and it goes a long away when you’re making something.’’ that because I could see the potential.’’

As I look at the town and the busy main street, even on a wet morning, you can see how it is really thriving.

“At weekends people come up here hiking, cycling and, yes, thokay I think we’re gonna buy that, because I could see the potential.’’

As I look at the town and the busy main street, even on a wet morning, you can see how it is really thriving.

“At weekends people come up here hiking, cycling and, yes, the mountains are big attractions,’’ Kay says.

“As well as the King of the Mountain Festival we’ve got the Noosa Trails, which people come up for, and we have even got a cycling event that starts in Pomona.’’

The idea behind going so local is about supporting the community as well as businesses.

That way everyone helps each other to survive.

Kay and Jeff went out to seek these producers and suppliers but others started coming in looking for them to stock their produce.

By relying a lot on small croppers and seasonal produce it’s a matter of continually turning over stock.

Continuity of supply is a little bit of an issue but when it’s not there customers get what they can and then come back when it’s in stock again.

“It pays to buy quality,’’ Kay believes. “It’s going to last longer, it’s good for you, and it goes a long away when you’re making something.’’

The past two years of the Covid pandemic, interruption to supply from floods and staff shortages with transport and major food companies has shown the value of local retail.

“It’s taught me that some of those old values are just as true today,’’ Kay says.

“Relying on people in the street and them relying on a local produce store like like this.’’

“We’ve had a pretty rough season that has included two floods … the one in February was the one that was really damaging.

“Imbil’s pretty much a food bowl for the area.

“Queensland grows really well now until summer, then we have to start relying on the southern markets a bit more.

“Yet they’ve all been flooded too so I’m not sure what will happen there.

“Gatton is the major food bowl for Queensland and it got hit in the February floods but it’s just getting back on track again now.’’

The Little Pantry opens at seven in the morning and closes at 5:30 but Kay is in early to take the deliveries and set the shop up.

More people are buying organic now, she

believes, as a result of Covid but also the lifestyle.

With many people now working from home or working remotely, they can structure their day better and lead a healthier lifestyle as well as being more productive.

“It’s just that people are thinking much more about what they eat, how they eat ... they are very much more aware of the health side of eating properly.

“If you eat healthy, you’ll be healthy.’’

THE FARM AT IMBIL Two days later I am out at Imbil. The sun is shining and I stop while driving down the track to the farm.

There are treed areas along the ridge that is a habitat for wildlife.

The farm is basically east-facing, down and across Yabba Creek that runs through the neighbouring property.

Jeff has significantly enlarged one dam, built another and improved the fencing.

The farm was originally part of a larger dairy property but had been used for horses in more recent times.

Jeff points out that the cottage was constructed by using an adze - an axe-like tool - to flatten bearers and joists.

“There was a lot of regrowth on the creek flat,’’

Jeff told me as we made our way up to the main house for a coffee and caramel/macadamia tart - locally baked of course.

“You couldn’t walk through, it was that thick. I used the excavator to open it up … take out wattle and rubbish.’’

Finding the property and having the vision of what to create was something Jeff and Kay agonised over for months.

They had looked at another property at Tandur but on the way into the property decided this was the one.

“It had that connection.

“We came in with a vision of growing things for the shop.’’

However, Jeff was called into work at Mitre 10 to help develop the Nambour store.

“It’s hard to walk away from what you know.

There’s security in that.

“I’ve been in the building industry all my

life, and I’ve never been shy to try other things.’’

Jeff initially did a fruit season in Victoria before working for a builder in Pomona and attending TAFE in Brisbane.

He tried professional fishing at Tin Can Bay, then went with a mate to Goodooga, in western New South Wales, and did fencing on one property.

It was a sheep station and Jeff learnt a lot, especially about the value of diversity.

From there he did a cane season in the Yandina-Bli Bli area, which taught him about long hours.

“There was never any hesitation when we learned the shop was for sale.

“Most tradies don’t have anything to sell when they retire except a ute full of tools.

“There’s something tangible about the shop to move on to.’’

The farm house was here, together with the

cottage, but also a substantial machinery shed that had been used as an arena for horses.

The whole property had two plain-wire and electric fences. Under each was a water line.

Jeff put a solar pump in from the dam yet there’s also a bore to a tank that gravity feeds to each paddock.

“We pulled the fences out and the waterlines.

“We put those underground. You only need a grassfire to go through and you’ve lost the water.

“The excavator has paid for itself.’’

The plan is to grow the farm from the small crop area on the slope.

“It’s the best soil. Red volcanic style.

“We got the soil tested and the organic matter is very good.

“It’s not organic but we are working on

An example of Jeff’s ingenuity is a mulch harvester he has developed.

By adjusting the blades on a slasher he can direct the grass upwards into a catcher behind the tractor.

The mulch is then used on the crops.

Orchard-style rotating sprinklers have been installed on the cropping area..

There is green space in between the plant beds and to conserve water they just direct it where it’s needed at the time.

“If you can walk away from a farm and it’s in better condition than when you came then you have done a good job,’’ Jeff believes, then adds “... even if you may not have made any money on the way through.’’

He likes the fact that a farmer can take produce to a shop or the markets and sell it, but when produce is brought up to the markets from Brisbane and sold, it is in direct competition to those that grow their own.

There’s a satisfaction in farming of being able to work in the sunshine then sit on the verandah at the end of the day and reflect on what has been done.

Much of that has been pulling out invasive plants.

Yet there is also a small orchard at the front of the house that needs caring for - white mulberry, lemons, lime, mango and avocado, pomegranate, feijoas, finger lime, lychees among them.

Lessons learned so far have been - there is not the need to spray as much.

“We’ve never had to,’’ Jeff says. “It costs money.

“If you do not need it, why do it. It impacts the soil.’’

Another lesson is that you need to be on the farm virtually every day, instead of waiting for something to become a problem.

As for the shop, Kay says it is a matter of listening to the customers and if they want something then get it in.

“When you do, someone else will want it as well.

“Keep the produce fresh.

“You have to sell what people want. That’s why it’s worked.

“I never have an issue with staff talking to customers. It’s all about personal contact. It’s the shopping experience, a social outing.’’

Jeff and Kay use Vegipods on the farm to grow the greens - raised up off the ground with a shade cloth cover and self watering.

That way it keeps all the bugs off and creates a micro climate by keeping the direct sun off and the moisture in.

“We are looking to do baby spinach next time,’’ Jeff says, “... it’ll be more suited to having the cover over the top.

“It becomes very hard to close the lid as the greens grow so much.’’

The aim is to increase the area of crops and include lavender, passion fruit, then blueberries on a couple of beds.

“We’re getting some herbs up for Christmas,’’ Jeff says. “I like to keep the door open on ideas.’’

That’s what’s so refreshing about Jeff and Kay’s approach – they’re open to new ideas that support local farmers and open the door to sustainable food practices for our future.

Counting costs of cancer New University of the Sunshine Coast-led research has for the first time estimated the healthcare costs of Queenslanders who survived cancers in the 20 years to 2016.

A team led by Dr Katharina Merollini studied the long-term health service costs of more than 230,000 people between 2013 and 2016 who had been diagnosed with a first primary malignancy from 1997 onwards.

“We found the average health service cost per person each year was $15,890,” said Dr Merollini, a Health Economics academic from UniSC and the Sunshine Coast Health Institute.

“Breaking this down by types of malignancies, the highest annual health service costs per person were for the bone marrow disease myeloma ($46,000), brain cancer ($30,300) and liver cancer ($29,600).

“These figures counted all medical and allied health services, hospitalisations, emergency admissions and prescribed pharmaceuticals in that period, both related and unrelated to cancer.”

The paper Cancer Survivors’ Long-Term Health Service Costs in Queensland, Australia is published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

It is co-authored by Associate Professor Louisa Gordon of QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, The University of Queensland and QUT, Dr Yiu Ho of Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service and UQ, Professor Joanne Aitken of Cancer Council Queensland, and Professor Michael Kimlin of QUT. Professor Aitken of Cancer Council Queensland said, “Given the enormous cost of cancer to the health system and knowing that one-third of cancers are preventable, a strong and clear message from this research is the importance of more investment in cancer prevention.”

Dr Merollini said the cumulative average annual healthcare expenditure on all cancer

“According to the data, the highest costs were incurred by patients with a history of prostate ($538 million), breast ($496 million) or colorectal ($476 million) cancers.

“These costs were typically highest in the first year after diagnosis and decreased over time.”

She said it was the first population-level research on the health service costs of Queensland cancer survivors beyond the initial years of treatment and including all age groups and health conditions.

“It reveals a huge impact to health services,” Dr Merollini said.

“We hope the results will inform planning by policy makers in Australia, provide data for economic evaluations and reinforce the benefits of investing in cancer prevention.”

Fast facts on cancer survivorship: Worldwide, there are 19.3 million new cancer cases per year, expected to increase to 28.4 million cases in 2040.

Study of urban heat traps A study is underway to find the hot spots of the Sunshine Coast – and then use high-tech 3D modelling to inform ways to cool them down.

The Cool Urban Forests project is being delivered through the University of the Sunshine Coast and Sunshine Coast Council’s Regional Partnership Agreement.

The research aims to investigate hot spots, and better understand how urban forests can minimise heat risks.

Project lead Dr Silvia Tavares, a UniSC Senior Lecturer in Urban Design and Town Planning, said heat absorbed by buildings and pavements became trapped, which could cause urban areas to heat up, sometimes up to five degrees Celsius hotter than rural areas.

An urban area where higher temperatures occur from trapped heat is known as an Urban Heat Island (UHI), and the UHI effect adds to heatwave risk.

“Planting trees in the streets, parks, and gardens of our urban areas is vital to reduce UHI effects and prepare our community for the heat-related impacts of climate change,” Dr Tavares said.

Trees provide shade, and the water in their leaves also cools the air by taking heat energy from the environment and lowering the air temperature.

The two-year project will look at how mapping technologies like satellite imaging and airborne surveys using laser and thermal sensors, can find neighbourhood hot-spots that may be trapping the heat.

“Once potential hot-spots are found, we will create a sophisticated 3D ‘microclimate model’ for various neighbourhoods, to help us understand what might be causing the overheating down at the street level,” Dr Tavares said.

“We can also change the 3D model and look at possible future urban developments, to look at different sizes or species of trees, improved building and roof materials, or

“The research will help council understand how mapping, sensor and modelling technology can help inform and improve policy and

planning for urban design.

“Development rules and urban design processes can be complex, and this research will help guide council to find the right place for

the trees, so they can keep us cool.”

Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said the Cool Urban Forests project would help us understand the impacts of rising heat and enhance the future liveability of our region.

“These types of projects and partnerships demonstrate what it means for our region to be a UNESCO Biosphere as we continue to learn and deliver sustainable outcomes,’’ Cr Suarez said “This is a really exciting project and council looks forward to seeing what the results mean for future urban design.

“In 2016 Sunshine Coast Council commissioned a CSIRO report – ‘Future Climate of the Sunshine Coast’, which showed we will be exposed to increases in average temperatures and more days over 35 degrees Celsius.

“This information can help planners and designers provide cooler and more comfortable open spaces for our community.

“This research will provide evidence to support council’s efforts to advocate and regulate for positive change, while informing future design opportunities and communicating ways of using our urban forests to mitigate the heatwave impacts of climate change.”

World-class ballet staged

By Margie Maccoll World-class ballet was enjoyed by Noosa audiences at full house shows at The J Theatre over the weekend when Queensland Ballet and Noosa alive! presented two exclusive ballet performances.

It was a display of vibrancy, skill, strength and colour by young members of the company as they performed Act 1 from Bespoke, choreographed by Head of Academy Paul Boyd, which brought to life of a Caravanserai along the famous Silk Road trading route with all its energy and excitement.

The second performance, Aurora’s Wedding, from Act 1 of Sleeping Beauty was choreographed by the company’s chief ballet master Greg Horsman.

All eyes were on Sleeping Beauty, Aurora, and her Prince, Desire as they dominated the stage with their performances, but the audience was equally enthralled by the other characters and their dazzling costumes as they performed the story of the wedding celebration.

A special treat for the audience was an onstage session with Queensland Ballet’s artistic director Li Cunxin who gave an insight into the behind-the-scene happenings of the company. There was much oohing and aahing from the audience, many aspiring young dancers, as they hung on his every word.

“One of our favourite events each year is coming to perform in Noosa,“ Li said.

“Eight years ago Ian (Mackellar) contacted me saying we’d love you to be part of Noosa alive!“ Initially Li had concerns about the small size of the Noosa stage but agreed and hasn’t looked back, saying it had been “wonderful to be here and perform to such an enthralled audience. We found the staff wonderful to work with and hope it has had a wonderful impact for the community as well“.

After two years of Covid, Queensland Ballet was prepared for a big comeback in 2022 but it did not begin smoothly.

Li said earlier in the year the company had sold out its classic performance of Giselle but two weeks before it opened they had to cancel when the Playhouse Theatre at Queensland Performing Arts Theatre (QPAC) was flooded.

“Since then we have performed most of the season. It’s been wonderful to perform with full audiences,“ he said.

Having just finished Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s spectacular Manon, making them one of only a handful of companies in the world to be given permission to stage the ballet, the company is preparing for a holiday favourite, The Nutcracker, in December.

Celebrating 10 years with Queensland Ballet, Li said the highlights included the opening this year of the redeveloped heritage building that was once a shoe factory into the Thomas Dixon Centre, becoming the home of Queensland Ballet, and containing a theatre with a stage the size of the Lyric but only 300 seats - every seat a premium.

“I’ve travelled the world. All major companies have beautiful homes - our home is the best. It’s going to be such a legacy. I can promise magic for many years to come,“ he said.

And magic is promised in next year’s Queensland Ballet season.

Among the highlights is the return of the ballet, Giselle. There will be a ballet based on the novel, My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin.

Heleen and Kurt Kubik attend the ballet.

And there will be a blockbuster - Strictly Gerschwin - involving 50 musicians, four singers, ballet, tap, ballroom and Latin dancing and Gershwin’s iconic songs of the 20th century.

Li is also proud of the company’s training of the next generation of dancers with regional satellite programs and their premier training combining world class ballet and an academic curriculum at the Queensland Ballet Academy at Kelvin Grove State College.

“I went through that training at the Beijing Dance Company - everything happens at the same place. The dances can be so focused,“ he said.

“We offer a clear pathway for young kids to professional level.“

Banks in the community When I moved to Tewantin eight years ago, the big four were here, along with a couple of community banks or credit unions. The last of the big banks, CBA will close in the next few weeks. The Bendigo is the sole survivor. Thank goodness.

In this community, some people either do not have access to computers to do their banking, or are mistrustful of cyber security which is not entirely surprising in the light of recent Optus issues.

Recently I drove to my bank at Civic (“we’re moving to Civic for your convenience.) Not! I wanted to arrange to buy some foreign currency. “We don’t do foreign currency any longer” so I then had to drive to Maroochydore to get what I needed. Guess that was for my convenience too.

Due to changing providers, I needed to have the bank reverse a scheduled payment.

Went to the branch. “No we can’t access that from the branch, you’ll have to phone the help line”. I guess that was for my convenience too.

Made the call “ We are unable to take your call at this time, please call again later.”

Next day, made call, waited on the line for an hour, while the anonymous voice tells me that they know how valuable my time is, but that someone will be with me shortly.

After an hour I hung up.

Issue still not resolved.

My point is, that if you can’t get local or foreign currency from your local(ish) bank, and they are not able to assist with transactional queries - what is their purpose.

The current rash of TV ads telling us that they are “taking it to the next level” DON’T. Do what people need you to do. Give them access to their money and resolve transactional enquiries.

Animal prisons Its not often a person thinks about what it’s like to be an animal in a zoo. The incident at Taronga prompted such a reverie. Most people think zoos are a good thing. The terms educational and better than extinction are often bandied about. Both pure nonsense, of course. Zoos as a bulwark against extinction just prompt one to realise how low humans have sunk. How about following the African model. Defending huge viable conservation parks with weapons.

River rats have been an unnerving issue on Weyba Creek. For the past five years neighbours along with the authorities have attempted to remove their need to use our peaceful region as a speedway track. But they keep coming back. Bad blood handed down.

The problem is more about lack of good parenting.

Obviously these brats have no parents or such parents are absent.

Riverbank erosion has resulted and numerous calls/emails have gone unheeded by Council except for balustrades to be implemented. Yesterday (a Sunday) Frank Wilkie appeared to inspect the neglect and obviously got the ball rolling as this morning at 7am a council worker came with… yet another sign.

I suggest to council to bill the parents of the river rats for erosion costs, evidence of their backwash activities is numerous. Including environmental damage, these kids steal boats, motors, fishing gear, jetty stools and the law states ‘they can’t be touched?’ I don’t think so, their parents’ wallets/assets can.

Same as North Shore abuse, however, those idiots weren’t given a licence to abuse. These kids don’t even have that, yet a riverway is shared no differently than our roadways.

Along with such laws, one questions who makes them?

Obviously the lawmakers are just as negligent as the river rats, their parents/guardians and why the world is breaking up.

We’re coming.

Red moon captured Across the country on Tuesday night keen photographers like Beatrix Todd pointed their cameras skyward to snap the blood moon during the total lunar eclipse.

Beatrix captured these images of the eclipse, describing the event as “a treat and a rare occasion“ with the next total lunar eclipse three years away in 2025.

“What a special position for earth to be between the sun and the moon, so we could all watch earth’s shadow on the humongous, orange moon.

These photos were taken in Noosa, showing off the moving shadow earth cast on the moon,“ Beatrix said.

“Patiently awaiting the next one, and celebrating all the wonders of the universe; big and small.“ During totality, the moon turned red, giving it the name blood moon.

This effect is caused by the bending of light through earth’s atmosphere.

Is the office really dead after Covid-19?

By Phil Jarratt Did you know that before Covid disrupted our lives so completely, only eight per cent of Australians regularly worked from home?

Or that during the peak of the lockdowns that number jumped to 40 per cent, and is still hovering around 30-40 per cent as the pandemic (hopefully) fades away?

But the bigger question is this: is the office dead and buried?

In Canberra, no. Everyone still goes to one, but everywhere else, the old nine-to-five is proving very hard to revive.

Of course, if you’re a stop-go worker on the main roads or a checkout worker at the supermarket, it’s rather difficult to make a case that you can work more efficiently from home, but nearly four out of 10 Australian workers are already getting away with it, and the experts tell us that there are a lot more who want to join them and are planning their lives accordingly.

“There’s no doubt that Pandora’s box has been opened,” author and trend forecaster Michael McQueen told the ABC last month.

“And it’s unlikely we’re going to go back to the way that things were in the pre-pandemic days of people working in an office full time.”

According to some commentators who have made the demise of the office a study, the pandemic made us realise that for many people, working from home was a viable, even preferable option, but there was an assumption that, like eating out, as soon as we were allowed to do it, there would be a bun rush not just back to restaurants but to the office water cooler for some good old work-based gossip, which is basically the appeal of shared work space or hubs.

But it hasn’t happened, and the main reason, in the cities at least, is the commute.

Before Covid, full-time workers in Australia’s capital cities spent an average of 67 minutes a day travelling to and from work, but with city housing prices and rentals rising an increasing number were doing double that.

Of course, if you work in an office in Noosa Shire, all you have to worry about is the school drop-offs on Beckman’s Road, but spare a thought for hospitality workers forced by economics to live outside the shire and use public transport to get here.

A global study released in September by the National Bureau of Economic Research in the US found that 35 per cent of Australians said they would quit their job or start looking for another if their employer forced them to return to the office full time, and would be prepared to accept a five per cent pay cut if they could work from home two to three days a week.

According to forecaster McQueen, despite a pre-Covid fear amongst employers that working from home would damage productivity, a large group of workers has now settled into a pattern of working from home Mondays and Fridays and heading into the office Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, thereby earning themselves the acronym, TWATs. The Australian Government’s Productivity Commission’s working from home research paper released late last year called the forced

The water cooler chats no one seems to miss.

You can’t do this from home. On the job in Noosaville 1976. experiment “a major change in the labour market that has occurred at unprecedented speed”.

The paper also found that most workers would be willing to take a pay cut or change jobs in order to keep doing it. The primary reason? To avoid the commute.

The Productivity Commission concluded: “Working from home represents a potential overall gain to society, and there is a strong case to allow workers and firms to negotiate mutually beneficial outcomes.”

The vast majority of 50 major Australian companies employing more than one million workers between them, polled by the Nine Newspapers late last year, agreed. Forty-two of the companies surveyed “explicitly confirmed the permanent adoption of hybrid [part-time at home] working policies for office-based employees”.

Of course, those of us who work and never (or rarely) have to darken an office door are still in the happy few.

But I’ll share a secret: I’ve been doing it for

most of my half-century-plus working life.

It began in the ‘70s when I edited a surfing magazine at Sydney’s Whale Beach and never worked if there was surf, and it continued through the ‘80s when I shared a cubicle at The Bulletin magazine in Sydney with a former seminarian who, like me, didn’t come in much. I guess that made Tony Abbott and me proto-TWATs. In December 1989, just after Labor’s historic victory in Queensland, I was bushwalking in the Blue Mountains with my editor and frequent lunching pal at The Bulletin, David Dale, when he confided that the magazine’s Queensland correspondent had resigned his post.

“I’ll do it on one condition,” I hurriedly offered.

“That I don’t have to live in Brisbane.”

By February I’d moved the family to Noosa and never went to the office again, apart from five years in France, where they do things differently.

Wicked Sister here

From Vegas Fresh from celebrating 10 years and over 3000 shows headlining on the Las Vegas strip, the Australian Bee Gees Show will be heading down under for the Australian leg of their 25th anniversary tour performing at The Events Centre, Caloundra on Wednesday 30 November.

This new show will be presented in two parts and will feature all of the hits in a nostalgic trip down memory lane in a multimedia concert event.

The group has racked up over 3000 performances on the Las Vegas Strip and was recently voted Best Tribute Show in Las Vegas by the prestigious Las Vegas Review Journal and has made the top 10 in the Overall Best Show category, an amazing achievement in Las Vegas.

From their first shows in 1995, the Australian Bee Gees Show has conquered Las Vegas and has played to capacity houses around the world, cementing their reputation as an exceptional live concert act and the world’s leading Bee Gees Show.

For one night only be a part of the magic that is, The Australian Bee Gees Show!

VENUE: The Events Centre, Caloundra DATE & TIME: Wednesday 30 November at 8pm TICKETS: From $52.50 BOOKINGS: Call 07 5491 4240 or visit theeventscentre.com.au

Hot on the heels of their runaway success at the Norfolk Island Theatre Festival (Best Original Script, Best Male Actor), Buderim-based 3bCreative is presenting Alma De Groen’s Wicked Sisters for Tewantin.

First performed in 2002, this play with four strong female characters is experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

The flawed genius and social Darwinist Alex Hobbes has passed away, but his experiment in artificial intelligence lives on, and is still working away, maybe even evolving, in his study.

His wife, Meridee, has withdrawn from life on their Blue Mountains property. Concerned for her welfare, three of her best friends decide to visit and shake her out of her malaise.

Sisterly solidarity seems a fine idea, but things go awry quickly.

Do these women support each other, or will they use their sisters to advance themselves?

This interesting and edgy play has some great laughs, but also strikes some uncomfortable notes.

The highly experienced actors Liz Bear, Lynda Canning, Sharon Grimley, and Louise Tasker bring their characters to life with sharp wit and intense emotion.

There will be only three performances in small venues, so bookings are essential. Wicked Sisters will be showing at the Tait Community College in Tewantin on 26 November.

There is a women-only event at the She Shed, Marooochydore on 24 November, and everyone is welcome at the Maleny Playhouse on 25 November.

Thelma Plum set to wow crowds at Offbeat Festival Tickets for the third annual Offbeat Music Festival in Eumundi are on sale, with a line-up that brings some of Australia’s top acts to Eumundi for the first time and confirms that live music is back and better than ever.

The festival will take place on Saturday 25 March from noon, with two stages and a first announcement line-up that boasts Thelma Plum, Gretta Ray, Electric Fields, Clews, and Brisbane-based Clea, alongside local favourites Blues Arcadia and a stack of fresh acts like bogan-funksters Playlunch and indie rockers Eastbound Buzz and Tommy Gun. “We are thrilled with this first announcement line up and with limited ticket numbers to this boutique event, we are pretty excited to get tickets on sale,” festival director Alice Jones said.

“Without the assistance of the Federal Government’s RISE grant, acts like Thelma Plum, Gretta Ray and Electric Fields would not be seen in Eumundi, we are very lucky.“

Alice says Offbeat promised to be just that.

“A little offbeat, a bit quirky, a little off the beaten track, and a bit of the unexpected,” she said.

The weeks ahead will see the announcement of further Offbeat events that will form part of the Offbeat Music Festival weekend running from Friday 24 March, through to Sunday 26 March in various locations throughout the village of Eumundi.

“Offbeat will offer the best of what locals hold dear” Alice says, “A weekend of incredible music, great vibes, and creativity, all set in the beautiful town of Eumundi.”

The 2023 Offbeat Music Festival is proudly supported by Restart investment to Sustain and Expand Fund (RISE) - an Australian Government initiative and is an 18-plus, Covidsafe event.

THNDO powers to the stage

Carols will be final act for conductor Adrian King.

Angelic voices rise

By Cal Webb Adrian King (that really should be King Adrian) arrived on the Sunshine Coast from the UK back in 2006 with his wife Helen. He joined Noosa Chorale as a tenor (and Helen as a soprano) before taking over the baton in 2007 from retiring music director Leonard Spira.

And as they say… the rest is history. Sixteen wonderful years later, he has decided to retire, and the choir’s annual Christmas Cheer concert next month will be his final bow.

Chorale singers are setting aside their sadness at losing Adrian to concentrate on bring-

ing a truly joyous programme of Christmas carols to our audiences at the angelically decorated J Theatre.

Among the festive songs and carols are some of Adrian’s all-time favourites and the choir is responding to his delight in conducting these by producing the most angelic of sounds—and yes, even the basses are sounding like angels at practice.

Many of the chosen pieces are by one of the best-loved, living choral composers, John Rutter who, along with David Willcocks, edited the collection that choirs everywhere tend to think of as their Christmas carols bible, “100 Carols

for Choirs”.

Along with the less well-known carols will be traditional ones like “The First Nowell” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” for the audience to sing along with the choir.

Noosa deputy mayor Frank Wilkie is MC and, as in previous years, will bring his characteristic wit and charm to the event.

Powerhouse vocalist THNDO will take to the stage in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel for what will be an extraordinary night of music on Friday 18 November.

She’ll be supported by songbird Andrea Kirwin.

Following her critically acclaimed performances on The Voice Australia earlier this year, the widely-loved Zimbabwean-born First Lady of Soul and R and B, THNDO presents The Reintroduction Tour.

Her journey begins a new chapter of immersive song writing and emotive performances.

With a statement as bold as her stage presence, The Reintroduction Tour will invite new audiences into THNDO’s genre transcendent world of music and is sure to delight audiences from all walks of life.

The Australian music scene is no stranger to THNDO, having commanded massive crowds at festivals such as Bluesfest, WOMAdelaide, Adelaide Cabaret Festival and Groovin The Moo. Her sold out shows at Chapel Off Chapel stunned audiences to a point of standing ovation with rave reviews following in their wake.

Every performance is a statement – a triumph of powerful lyricism, richranged vocals and smooth backing instrumentation – turning onward the wheel of live music, show by show.

This new era of THNDO’s artistry is cementing the legacy of one of Australia’s most captivating vocalists.

Supporting THNDO on the night is an Australian/Fijian soul artist and producer Andrea Kirwin.

Bloom is inspired by and dedicated to Andrea’s love of her fiance and partner of 13 years, Claire.

Recorded during 2020, the concept behind the record was a call to resilience, and includes Andrea’s wonderful supporters from Patreon, who also sang on the album on We Shall Overcome and appeared in the music video as well. Andrea has released Bloom on vinyl and CD, and digital downloads are available from her website.

TICKETS: $25 (+ booking fee) through Oztix. 18+ event.

Campfire stories inspire

By Abbey Cannan Noosa’s own celebrity chef Matt Golinski has shared his story of overcoming tragedy in the first book in an upcoming series, Campfire for the Heart.

Airlie Beach author Natalie Stockdale wrote the book while living on her boat on the Sunshine Coast, to showcase the indomitable human spirit.

Published by Big Sky Publishing, the uplifting books were written to help mental health and suicide prevention through the sharing of inspiring, true stories of recovery after experiences of tragedy, loss, injustice, natural disasters, war, trauma, terror, illness, injury, abuse and disability – life experiences shared by humanity.

Natalie said that currently, nine Australians die of suicide every day and one in eight people were experiencing high or very high psychological distress.

She believes there is power in storytelling to heal ourselves - and help others.

“By learning how other people have converted their darkest times to personal growth and success, we can discover how we too can grow from hardships - and help others in theirs,” she said.

The 30 storytellers in Campfire for the Heart are mostly unknown heroes of their personal journeys, but several names from the Sunshine Coast stand out including Lindy Chamberlain, Steve Parish, Ann Ballinger, Brent Mickleberg MP, and celebrity chef Matt Golinski.

“The idea came about because as a resilience coach, I remember very vividly one of my clients was pacing up and down suffering with anxiety and he said ’how do other people find happiness again’,“ Natalie said.

“I thought that was a very good question.

While living on my boat I began writing this book about incredibly inspiring people who have overcome adversity.

Natalie’s book launch will be held around a campfire at Noosa Eco Retreat on 26 November.

“I wanted to cover a very wide range of life experiences and tragedies. In Matt’s case, he lost his wife and three daughters in the most tragic circumstances, and also endured his own physical and mental struggle after the fire.

“When I met Matt, he came to my yacht and I interviewed him and I was just so genuinely in admiration of his recovery and his warmth and kindness and generosity of spirit.

“All the storytellers have a generosity of

spirit because they’re wanting to share their stories, only for one reason, and that is to help people.

“They don’t share their stories to glorify themselves, they share their stories to inspire and help readers. So it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to hear Matt’s story.“ Campfire for the Heart has been praised by national mental health leaders, other authors, respected journalists, Dr Arun Gandhi (Mahat-

ma Gandhi’s grandson), and various Australians of the Year, including cave-diving legend and Australian of the Year 2019, Dr Craig Challen, who wrote the foreword.

The book launch will be held around a campfire at Noosa Eco Retreat in Pomona on 26 November from 5pm to 9pm, where you’ll get to meet the author and some of the extraordinary and inspirational storytellers.

“It will be nice and relaxed, around a campfire as that is the traditional place to share stories,“ Natalie said.

“We’ll have a beautiful backdrop of the Noosa Hinterland and there will be food, drinks and live music. It’s going to be a wonderful fundraising event.“ All profits raised from the book launch ticket sales will support local wildlife charity, Noosa Koala Rescue Centre.

The second book in the series, Campfire for a Woman’s Heart, features the remarkable stories of 25 international women including an Australian Paralympian champion, a gutsy barrister who stood up to ICAC, a legendry icewater swimmer from the UK, a brave young student from Afghanistan, a mother from war-torn Ukraine, a former First Lady of Timor Leste and many other extraordinary resilient women.

Campfire for a Woman’s Heart will be released early next year.

Campfire for the Heart is available now online through the publisher (Big Sky Publishing), and at local book shops, news agencies and some post offices.

Books will be available for purchase for $29.99 at the book launch at Noosa Eco Retreat on 26 November.

Ticket prices: adults- $110, children up to 17 years old- $70 (All inclusive). RSVP at mygivingtable.com.au BYO outdoor chairs, if possible.

New bridge is crossed The Cooroy Golf Club now has a new bridge thanks to the floods earlier in the year.

Six Mile Creek runs through the golf course and earlier in the year caused considerable damage and one consequence was the washing away of the bridge on the creek crossing on the sixth hole.

It’s taken a long time to replace but is now

completed thanks to some dedicated volunteers particularly Grant, Bob and and our greens superintendent Warren.

The Queensland Government Special Disaster Assistance Recovery Grant also provided the funds. Thanks also go to local contractors including Roberts Bros and suppliers Cooroy Landscape Supplies.

Flathead was caught and released in the lower estuary by Ken Mason.

Abundant offshore catches of snapper are encouraging derway and thinking of heading home.

Off the beaches the reports of Tailor have been a bit patchy but those willing to find the productive gutters are getting results. If the Tailor are hard to find, then a light setup can be a blast on the whiting and dart and even a standard 7-foot estuary rod can be used. Come and grab some beach worms along with a few sinkers and hooks and you are into the action.

In the river we have seen some flathead coming into anglers’ nets. These fish have been caught not only in the day but at night. If after a big one don’t be afraid to go BIG! A fish in the 80-90cm mark will have to eat and when they do they will snack on something worth their time. Besides live bait there are a multitude of lure options. A big paddle tail plastic like a Zman Swimmerz or another lure would be the MMD Whiting glide bait fished slowly over some shallow yabbie flats.

Traditionally we start to see some warm and humid conditions fall upon us and this means Jacks! If after the jacks get up into any little creeks, inlets, and fish around structure. If using plastics go weedless and slow roll or burn them back out and use appropriate leader and braid strength.

Whiting, bream and flatties can also be found together so look around the frying pan, dog beach and the river mouth. Small cube style baits of mullet, pilchard and prawn all work well here when allowed to drift lightly around.

Whiting fisherman would be best to use peeled prawn, squid strip and live worms all lightly fished for maximum bait presentation. Elsewhere trevally can be found and will take everything from a prawn to a plastic or metal jig.

Now for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Davo’s Tackle World, Davo’s Boating and Outdoors in Noosa and Davo’s Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and remember Tight Lines and Bent Spines

The freshwater impoundment scene has still been a little slow with constant influxes of runoff and fish loses making a trip to Borumba or Lake MacDonald a hard task but those willing to persist should start thinking about surface presentations. Head out early and look around the timber and lily edges. Once the sun comes up a bit switch to smaller jerk baits like the Jackall squirrel 67 and put in a long pause.

As we welcomed in the start of November the warm spring days have been replaced with cool rainy conditions.

Reports from offshore have been encouraging with good catches of Snapper, Pearlies, Tuskies and various other reef species abundant. That’s not to say they have come easy as some anglers can tell you, with some finding it difficult to locate quality fish.

These species will take single and double hook paternoster rigs with pilchard and squid baits the most popular. If drifting, then jigs also work well with good reports of Amberjack and Yellowtail Kings appearing in anglers’ happy snaps.

Sunshine has been a little tougher but for those heading out there you would be wise to slow your drift by way of a drift anchor or electric motor. You can still fish live and dead baits here and of course soft plastics and lighter jigs too. Load up with live bait before heading out that way.

Another option is to deep drop your live bait and drift it above the structure. This could trigger a reaction bite from a hungry reef fish as it passes overhead so hold on. If on anchor be sure to let out plenty of rope to help soften conditions if a bit choppy. We should start to see a few Mackerel start to show up soon, so a pilchard floater will always be successful if drifting or on anchor when conditions are favourable. During other times you can troll a wide range of lures from Halco, Nomad or Rapala or a simple rigged dead bait can be effective. Be sure to have a few of these in your kit when it’s too rough to travel at speed as you could pick up a cracking fish when you are un-

Sunny.

Packed month of activity Sunshine Coast residents are being urged to break away from their day-to-day and enjoy some stellar events to keep many entertained this month.

From rugby to disc-golf, bowling and canoeing, plus cabaret, the arts, comedy and a free family-friendly festival there really is something for everyone to experience and enjoy.

Suncity Bowl will be busy with the International Bowling Federation presenting the Para Bowling World Cup from November 3-10, and IBF World Cup will run from November 11-23.

Held in partnership with the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council, the event is expected to attract 1700 visitors.

Sunshine Coast Council Economy Portfolio Councillor Jason O’Pray said sporting events did really well in terms of participants and numbers with the Ironman 70.3 held in September sold out this year.

Our cultural events are really important to the community, and to ensure they continue to be offered in the future, it’s important people support them,” Cr O’Pray said “What would really help our local businesses and event organisers is for people to make that decision early, and essentially invest in the event.

“We need to move away from the last minute culture when it comes to buying tickets for events, so event organisers can gauge product and service levels needed to put on a great event.”

The Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival has a series of events from November 10-13 with an opening night extravaganza at NightQuarter (Birtinya) and shows at Brouhaha (Aura), The Events Centre (Caloundra), The Imperial Hotel (Eumundi), The Power Boat Club (Golden Beach), Solbar and The Nautical (Maroochydore), and Your Mates (Warana).

If you need a free laugh, two Laughable competition heats are happening on Saturday, 12 November from 2pm at Peace Run Records in Queen St, Nambour and at The Imperial Hotel, Eumundi.

Sunshine Coast Stadium offers a variety of events including their first ever Stadium Cabaret which will bring together two worlds of drag and cabaret on November 12 (18+event); a night of action-packed family fun on November 26 with the Monster Thrillmasters Spectacular, while on November 27, STEPS will host their special Christmas Party for young people living with a disability and autism.

The free exhibition is open to the community every day from November 20 to December 4 between 9am and 3pm.

Disc Golf is a growing sport in Australia, and with 192 participants the sold out Australian Disc Golf Championships will take place

at Landsborough on November 18-20.

Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a flying disc (or frisbee) with the object to complete each hole in the fewest number of strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws).

It’s a great outdoor game for the family, so get along and see what it’s all about. Spectator tickets from $5.

For a spectacle on Lake Kawana, check out the Australian Outriggers annual National Sprint Championships with junior and senior outriggers vying for a National Title from November 18-20.

Social afternoon introduces visitors to joys of croquet

By Colin Hindson On Friday 25 October, 33 visitors from Provectus Algae attended the Noosa Croquet Club courts in Noosa Waters for a social afternoon and to try their hand at croquet.

Provectus Algae is a locally based firm which, according to its website, offers environmentally sustainable manufacturing with the development of novel natural and biosynthetic high value products from microalgae. Most participants were younger and it was an interesting afternoon, as many had taken this very seriously, having researched the background of croquet beforehand.

Two games of golf croquet were organised, with people in pairs – lots of laughter, lots of self-congratulations on discovering that they could play the game! The group broke for drinks and then played a second game.

This was a successful money-earner for the club, and helped to break down the image of croquet as just an old person’s game – the participants really enjoyed it, and will spread the word. Enthusiasm shows in the photographs.

Noosa Croquet Club’s new membership year commenced on 1 October.

The club’s membership is in the mid 60s (numbers, not age) which is very encouraging.

Our Come and Try days on any Sunday morning from 8.15am on are proving popular, and anyone wishing to come and have a look and try their hand is welcome. Just turn up.

This has developed into a very friendly sociable event, and is a relaxed way to introduce our new players to a competitive game with less pressure. Everyone enjoyed the day.

Noosa currently holds the Habner–Gugich Shield for the event, but no-one really cares who wins. Noosa won the first leg of this double-header, 7 games to 3, the away match to be played at Nambour early in 2023 – a chance for Nambour to even the score.

Dennis Coulter from Noosa was the standout on the day, winning all three of his games.

The club’s AGM will be held on Thursday 24 November, and we are looking forward to another successful year. If the nice weather continues, we will be crowding out the courts – great to see.

Thunder is back in form

By Randall Woodley Last weekend provided some better results for the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club with wins in First, Second Grade and in the Women’s competition.

There were also some great performances by some of the junior teams, including two tied matches.

First Grade The team was at home at Read Park playing the Nambour Cutters and Captain Jake Dennien had no hesitation in deciding to bat first.

With a fair amount of green on the wicket, the Nambour bowlers were able to get some swing and lift early and the home team were in some trouble at 3-21 after nine overs.

Then Jarrod Officer and Ben Claypole came to the crease and played smart but attacking cricket to get the score to 80 at the first drinks (17th over). After this they accelerated to 205 after 37 overs with a 300 score a possibility.

Their partnership of 184 was close to a club record. Officer was eventually out for a great 114, despite a broken thumb, in his first ton this season. Ben Claypole’s innings of 88 (run out) was his best for the club and included some glorious shots. The team then batted out their 50 overs to be 9 for 275.

Nambour had a couple of the 1st Grade Scorchers from last year playing along with a couple of the best bats in the competition, so Thunder knew they had to bowl well. Scott Aufderheide started out bowling a superb spell of eight straight overs for just 19 runs. The Cutters were contained for 18 wicketless overs before Ben Laughlin picked a wicket up in his first over to see them 1-68 off 19. From there the pace came off and the spin trio of Dom Taylor (2-36), Dennien (2-11) and Michael Eckard (3-49) strangled Nambour to have them all out for 181 in the last over with a bonus point win secured.

Next Saturday the team are away to Glasshouse Rangers who are sixth on the ladder.

Second Grade The boys travelled to Caboolture searching for a victory and decided to bat first. Both openers were out early and then it became the Adam Curry and Leon Beatty show, knocking the Snake bowlers all over the park and bringing up the 100 in the 15th over. After both these batsmen were out, Beatty for 27 and Curry for a classy 56, Jarryd (33) and Dan Cooke (29) kept things on track for a good score, finishing on 208.

Bowling wise, Thunder started well with almost perfect line and length bowling as well as brilliant support in the field. Crowley broke through first and he and Tyrone De Kauwe (230) kept them really dry in the runs. Then Max Cooper (2-34) helped to continue restricting runs. At the 20 over mark they had only scored 56. After the break it became a game of keeping pressure on. Wickets were shared, and, in the end, they were all out for 161, with Jayke Davis finishing them off with his first wicket in seniors and figures of 2-7. Great win for the team. Next weekend the team is at Read Park against Glasshouse.

Third Grade The team was at home to the undefeated Maroochydore Swans and batted first. The top order, Brendan Wright, L. Preet, Harper Lee and Ethan Slaney set the team up and at 20 overs the score was 2-82. The middle order did not really fire, and the team ended on 152. Ethan Slaney was once again the stand-out batsman.

Defending 152 was always going to be hard, but the Thunder bowled and fielded well making the Swans earn their eventually victory. All the chances were taken, and few runs were lost due to sundries or misfields. The captain summed the match up by saying, “A solid effort against a quality opposition that all the guys can be proud of”. Next week the boys travel to Caloundra.

Fifth Grade Playing at Palmwoods, the team batted first and could only muster 75 runs. Top scorer was ever-reliable, Tony Watson 32 and Jordan Lane 10. Bowling second the Thunder struck early and had Palmwoods 2-22. Thunder rotated the bowlers and at one stage the home team was 6-40. However, the possibility of a win finished there, and they passed the Thunder’s score in the 12th over. Best bowlers for Thunder were Brendon Henderson (2-22) and Rory Ramsden (3-14). Next Saturday the team will be playing Yandina at Dale Officer Oval.

Sixth Grade The team was defeated by Caloundra Lighthouses at their ground.

Junior Cricket Under 17s. The team was playing the University at their ground in a two-day match and batted first. The Thunder captain declared on 252 allowing the USC batters a few overs at the crease to finish Day 1. Top scorers for Thunder were Jack Caspers, who batted brilliantly for 104 and Ethan Slaney 64. Also playing in the match were 100 match milestone players, Finn Mayo , Ethan Slaney and Harper Lee who watched Jack Caspers scoring his maiden ton.

Under 15s Playing Caloundra at home, the local boys were sent into bat and lost both openers early. Then Rory Ramsden (35) joined Aedan Mayo (32) and they put on a solid partnership of 81. The team were all out for 159 with Bailey Hozier adding 21. At stumps Caloundra were 0-68 and Thunder will be chasing early wickets next Saturday.

Under 13s B. The team played Nambour Whites at the showgrounds last Saturday and the exciting match ended in a draw with each team scoring the same number of runs (125).

Best Thunder bowlers were Archie Wyles, Liam Sweet and Ollie Everlyn, all taking two wickets each. The top scorers in Thunders innings of 4-125 were Lachlan Davis 30*, Liam Sweet 24* and Lewis Ramsden 17.

Women’s The team had a good win against the USCBuderim girls. Thunder scored 5-130 with Petrina McAulay 34* and Kirsty Patten 25. They restricted the USC team to 7-102 to take the points.

Talking Sport Ron Lane

The other side of the coin Every year at the completion of the annual Noosa Triathlon, there is always one or two stories behind the scenes that is often not just of interest, but also beneficial to our community.

As the saying goes, there are always two sides to a coin. And this year is no different.

If a gruelling pre-season training campaign isn’t enough to get you motivated for the upcoming 2023 NRL season, then one should add a dose of the Noosa Triathlon to really get you in the groove.

According to the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Flyer, this was exactly the mind set and approach of Moses Mbye. Now playing for St George and formerly Noosa Pirates Rugby League club, he headed home to put himself to the test during the Garmin Noosa Triathlon.

But that was not the only reason for him to come home. He was also here to rollout his Treasure Chest Initiative that will directly help support local Noosa junior players and their families.

As part of the recent NRL grand final weekend, Moses returned home to host his inaugural event at the Noosa Golf Club, bringing to life a major fundraising event that incorporated a golf day and sporting luncheon. The day was a huge success. Players, present and past, club supporters and local business man from across the coast were in attendance.

Also in attendance was another former Pirate and now retired NRL great, Jake Friend.

Along with Jake was ex-NRL star Reni Matau.

Both took part in the day’s activities.

The event raised well over $10,000. This will now go directly towards making life better for some families who might be doing it a bit tough while also helping to grow the game of rugby league in Noosa.

Moses said, “I am excited to be back home to take part in the Garmin Tri and launch the Treasure Chest Initiative. It’s something that I am really proud of, proud that I can now give back to Noosa and the Pirates club that helped me greatly to have the privilege career that I still enjoy today.

“Personally, I can’t thank the Noosa community enough. They really got behind me to make the event such a success and it’s great to tie it all together while I am back home. And also, being lucky enough to be competing in such an iconic event as the Noosa Tri, (virtually) in my own backyard.”

Treasure Chest Initiative As part of the Treasure Chest Initiative, Moses who is also a member of the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) Player Advisory Group, will work closely in partnership with the Noosa Pirates to distribute financial assistance in the following ways:

“Rugby league and the people of Noosa have done so much for me. I have never forgotten the sacrifices that my family and those in my local community made for me.

“It was a great struggle for my family at times, but the support I received enabled me to embark on the wonderful sporting career.

Now it’s time to start giving back and pay it forward.’’

Like a lot of other Pirate supporters, I had the pleasure of watching this young man’s last game at Pirate Park, before embarking for the greener pastures of Sydney NRL. His ball control and his well- balanced, swerving runs was a joy to watch.

Having now reached the top in the NRL as well as having played State of Origin for Queensland, he was now visiting his home town. Visiting to not only say thank you, but also launch a program that will greatly assist young players, and most important of all, the player’s family.

In a time of such financial difficulties, when so many families will struggle to make ends meet, this gesture by Moses Mbye and his support group, should not go unnoticed.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Milius (centre) on location in El Salvador, 1977.

How about a profit share? Steven Spielberg (left), John Milius and George Lucas make a plan, 1977.

Best Big Wednesday tale Just when you think it must be, oh, six months or so, since you heard a good story about Big Wednesday, along comes one I’d never heard before, courtesy of surf historian Matt Warshaw and veteran film-maker Greg MacGillivray, and it’s a cracker.

We’ll get to that in a minute, but first a little background for the uninitiated on the most revered and ridiculed surf film Hollywood ever made.

By the mid-1970s veteran Malibu surfer John Milius was becoming a hot item at Warner Bros, having written the screenplays for the first two Dirty Harry movies, and written and directed The Wind and the Lion for Sean Connery.

OK, he wasn’t yet in the league of Warners’ other “it” directors, like his pals Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who had bigger offices just along the lot, but he could pretty much choose his own next project.

And he did.

Malibu surfer, muso and writer Denny Aaberg had written an amusing short piece for Surfer and Tracks magazines called No-Pants Mance which marginally fictionalised the bad behavior of the ‘Bu brethren in the early ‘60s, of which Denny and Milius had been a part.

This became the skeleton of Big Wednesday. In California in October 1976 Denny lined up an interview for me with Milius at the Warner’s lot where he was working with Spielberg and John Belushi on a film called 1941 while Big Wednesday was in pre-production.

I later wrote: “Milius was a big man with a penchant for a grand gesture and grandiose turns of phrase. Waving his stogie around, his feet on the desk, he said: ‘This is probably the most personal film I will ever make. This is surfing’s How Green Was My Valley – the loss of an aristocracy, the end of an era.’”

Milius would later regret those words when, after Big Wednesday’s release in 1978 a New York Times reviewer wrote: “John Milius got millions from Warner’s to make a ’personal movie’ about surfing, and if anyone liked it except him, I’d be surprised.”

Just about all the big names in surfing at the time were involved, but it was a monumental flop until home video turned it around and made it a cult classic.

But it didn’t hurt Milius’s career too much – he went on to write the blockbuster Apocalypse Now with Francis Ford Coppola in 1979 and was nominated for an Academy Award.

He also managed to sneak in a brilliant battleground surfing scene, in a subtle finger to everyone who’d rubbished Big Wednesday.

But back to the Warshaw story, which he shared on his Sunday Joint blog from Greg MacGillivray’s new book, Five Hundred Summer Stories. Greg, one of surfing’s greatest chroniclers, was second unit director on Big

Peter PT Townend surf doubling for William Katt on the Big Wednesday shoot, 1977.

Molly Picklum joins the world tour in 2023.

Wednesday and in 1977 found himself in Milius’s office at Warner Bros on an almost-daily basis.

He takes up the story: “Spielberg, Milius, and their friend George Lucas were challenging the status quo with enormously profitable films. One day the three of them were in John’s office and we were all joking around. I would later learn that they had each agreed to share two points of the net profits from the three personal projects they had in production. Lucas’s film was Star Wars and Spielberg’s film was Close Encounters of the Third Kind. John’s film was Big Wednesday.”

Big Wednesday cost $11 million to make and returned $4.5 million at the box office. Star Wars cost $11 million and returned $775 million, while Close Encounters cost $19 million and returned $306 million.

Ryan Calling at Bells. A welcome return in 2023.

“The deal worked out better for some than others,” Spielberg later told MacGillivray, laughing at the lost millions.

“We haven’t repeated the practice.”

Challenger Series at pointy end With the Saquarema Pro in Brazil done and dusted this week, and the Haleiwa Challenger closing out the series in Hawaii later this month, the list of qualifiers for the 2023 WSL World Tour is almost complete.

But, there is still room for surprises.

The story so far for the Australians: in the women’s division, in which the top five join the World Tour, Macy Callaghan and Molly Picklum have qualified, currently sitting at one and two on the rankings, Molly sharing that slot with Caitlin Simmers (USA). WA’s Bronte Macaulay, currently sitting at seven, pulled ahead of Nikki Van Dijk, now eighth, who didn’t go to

Brazil. Both are still outside chances to make the tour but will need to do very well in Hawaii.

In the men’s, Ryan Callinan has qualified to rejoin the big tour at three in the rankings.

Our other likely qualifier is Liam O’Brien, now sitting back at sixth, after Morocco’s Ramzi Boukhiam’s second to Medina in Brazil saw him jump 10 places to sit at fourth, and another solid performance from Hawaii’s Ian Gentil taking him to fifth.

Dylan Moffat and Morgan Cibilic, sitting either side of the cut at 10 and 11 with just five points separating them, need to pull out all the stops in Hawaii, with so many form surfers now ahead of them. But, as Ramzi showed us, it can be done.

It’s an interesting scenario. We have four horses in each race, but, depending on Hawaii in two weeks, could end up with only three qualifiers all up.

That is why the auction of a five-bedroom Bahamas-inspired beachhouse with pool at 54 Lorikeet Drive will be eagerly sought.

Tracy Russell at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property to the market at 9am on Saturday, November 19.

“It’s a beautiful home,’’ Tracy said, “in a great location.

A five-bedroom, four-bathroom beachfront house with pool, two-car garaging at 54 Lorikeet Dve, Peregian Beach, goes to auction at 9am Saturday, November 19. 306672 “It’s a generational opportunity,’’ Tracy said. “They just don’t come up, it’s a very tightly held area.’’

The property has been with the same family for 16-17 years and most interest is as an owner-occupier, Tracy said.

Included have been quite a few locals as well as Brisbane parties looking for lifestyle, location, and a walk to the beach.

From the street, with sandstone features, a pristine white facade, and stately palms swaying in the breeze, the property has a luxury resort vibe.

The foyer with vaulted ceilings leads to banks of plantation shutters, louvres and long casement windows that create shadow dances across timber floors.

Inviting breezes and wide ocean views feature in the main open-plan dining and living areas as well as the undercover terrace and bar area.

The L-shaped designer kitchen comes with black granite-topped benches, island/ breakfast bar, and walk-in pantry.

There are three spacious bedrooms, one with an ensuite, a retreat/lounge

with steps directly to the beach path, and another two queen/double bedrooms with a separate bathroom.

Downstairs, a second living area looking over the aqua mosaic-tiled pool, outdoor shower, and gate to the beach.

There are two bedrooms on this level, including the main that looks out to the pool, has a long walk-in robe, and an ensuite with a bath.

The second bedroom opens into the front garden, has a built-in robe, and a separate bathroom with a drencher shower.

DOUBLE CELEBRATION It’s been two out of two with auctions this month for Sam Plummer and Angela Wood at Noosa Estate Agents.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 5 Limosa Cct, Noosa Heads, scheduled for auction on Monday, November 7, sold prior.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 14 Wyona Dve, Noosa Heads, sold at auction on Thursday, November 3, for $1.51m.

The buyers are moving up from Victoria.

“It was a great result,’’ Sam said. “There was strong inquiry on both properties.’’

Sam and Angela will be bringing two more properties to the market with auction in December.

One is in Noosa Waters and the other in Noosaville. Both are four-bedroom, twobathroom houses with swimming pools.

HIGH DEMAND When it comes down to a pretty-as-a-picture apartment in one of Noosaville’s most sought-after locations, just 20-metres to the Noosa River’s white-sand shore, also close to Gympie Terrace’s cafe central, and the world-famous Hastings Street and Noosa National Park are a cycle or ferry ride away, it’s easy to understand why the marketing campaign attracted much interest from interstate, Brisbane and locals for apartment 1 Riverhaven at 7 Russell Street.

Similarly on auction day when the Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Lauren Chen had five registered bidders including three locals hoping for the keys, and a raft of others wishing they were in a position to buy.

A three-bedroom house with one-plus bathrooms, three-car garaging and pool on 4.5ha at 154 Lehman Rd, Traveston, goes to auction Saturday, November 19, at 2pm.

And so would the affordability for that precinct.

Most interest is coming from interstate, either for holidays or as an investment, Clare said. On the first floor with northeast facing balcony, the apartment has an immediate connection to its surrounds with palms wherever you look, and is so close to Gympie Terrace.

There are high coffered ceilings, pale terracotta floor tiles, and a wall of white plantation shutters in the open-plan living and dining spaces.

Sumptuous sofas in mocha fabric, the latest smart TV on a timber entertainment console, a glass-topped occasional table plus artwork, cushions and throws are designed for comfort.

The glass topped timber dining table has six chairs for dinner parties while the large, recently upgraded, U-shaped kitchen has white gloss cabinetry with white stone benchtops/breakfast bar, glass splashback, and the latest appliances.

Bermuda Villa’s pool and spa are heated during the cooler months.

ALL ON ONE LEVEL A five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on a level on 5167sq m at Cooroibah will suit all ages.

The single-level house is of amazing design, according to Scott Cowley of Noosa Estate Agents.

“It’s a nice property with great space,’’ Scott said. “There is a beautiful big pool adjacent to the entertainment area and firepit.’’

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom fully-furnished apartment 7/7-13 Howard St, Noosaville, is set for auction at 1pm on Saturday, November 19.

Marketed in conjunction with colleague Kelsie Melville, the property has a price guide of $2.30m. mostly locals through already Positioned well back from the street, there is dual access from a choice of driveways and separate gates - one leading into the double lock-up garage with storeroom and internal access; the other goes down the side of the property to a large four-bay shed and adjoining full-length concrete slab, ideal for a van or motorhome.

The house is a picture of style and sophistication - the main living zone features a modern kitchen with light stone bench tops, a 900mm wall oven and gas cook top.

The spacious dining room connects to the outdoor entertaining.

In addition there is a purpose-built media room and a separate multiplepurpose room or play area.

The main bedroom suite overlooks the front gardens and comprises a large walk-in robe and chic ensuite, with full-size bath and double floating vanity.

Next to the entry is a large home office, which could also be converted to a fifth bedroom.

A covered outdoor deck overlooks manicured lawns and the in-ground pool.

There is a 3.8m by 4.4m studio with ensuite, and a large covered entertaining pavilion with full wet bar that leads onto a stone fire pit.

There is fully ducted and zoned air-

conditioning as well as a 6kw solar system.

As expected, bidding was vigorous, the reserve was quickly surpassed, and auctioneer Gordon Macdonald declared it sold at $1.36m.

PICTURE PERFECT It’s part of Traveston’s pioneering history - a beautifully-renovated Queenslander on 4.5ha at 154 Lehman Rd goes to auction Saturday, November 19, at 2pm.

Rob Nimmo at Laguna Real Estate described the three-bedroom house with one-plus bathrooms, three-car garaging and pool as “postcard perfect.’’

There are breathtaking views toward Mothar Mountain from the house and infinity pool.

That’s what is appealing to most interested parties. That and the privacy, the tranquillity.

The house features open-plan living with modern kitchen and hardwood floors. There is air-conditioning, a fireplace, under-house games area and storage.

Then there is the in-ground pool with bungalow, a 9m by 7.5m shed, two dams and a seasonal creek through rainforest areas.

ATTRACTIVE ON MANY LEVELS Location and affordability are two of the key points of a two-bedroom, two-bathroom fully-furnished apartment at Noosaville that is set for auction at 1pm on Saturday, November 19.

Clare Sherwood at Tom Offermann Real Estate Noosaville is marketing 7/7-13 Howard St and said the location, right near Noosa River, was proving very appealing.

LAST CHANCE IMAGINE swimming in a swell of Sunrise Beach’s natural charms. Turquoise Coral Sea, glistening white sand, endless bright blue skies, and living in the front row with an eagle’s eye view from Lions Head in the Noosa National Park to the north, Mooloolaba and Point Cartwright to the south.

This epic absolute beachfront site, the eighth and last available in the exclusive highly prized Noosa’s Beaches enclave is poised perfectly mere footsteps to the white sand pearlescence and comes with an avantgarde design by Chris Clout which has development approval.

Picture a 6-star 3-level beach house measuring 716m2 internally, a 5 bedroom masterpiece of global standard, which indulges every possible personal extravagance, need, whim and necessity, with the latest aesthetics, materials and technical excellence throughout.

The mosaic-tiled pool and terraces naturally coalesce with the ocean and white-tipped surf; the entertainment level includes a wine cellar, bar, games room, gym, and sauna; vast living, dining and kitchen spaces awash with limestone and bespoke cabinetry; wake to the sound of waves breaking onshore from the decadent master suite and open bathroom; and note the multi car stacker on the lower level has

a showroom-style window.

Located in Noosa, Australia’s favourite holiday destination, and 5kms from sophisticated Hastings Street with its bevy of boutiques, art galleries, bars, and beachside restaurants, “this is a rare opportunity on an international level,” effuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart and principal Tom Offermann, who have slated the land for auction on Saturday 19 November 2022 in their Noosa Sound office.

“It’s highly unlikely that any amount of money could buy this in the future, because land of this calibre in the front row on Noosa’s eastern beaches, so close to the sand, is almost gone forever.”

Facts & Features: Land Size: 775m2; last remaining Extra Wide Beach frontage: 25m Exclusive gated enclave of 8 luxury homes; 6-min drive to Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and Noosa National Park Views from north Sunshine Beach Headland south to Point Cartwright.

LA BELLE L-AUBERGE WITH GARDEN TERRACE INSPIRED by its French name L’Auberge, the boutique complex has a distinctive modernist design, is complemented by signature pink, lush garden surrounds, and is located in a quiet street near the cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Heads.

If you aspire to an exceptional lifestyle walking to almost everything you need and love around the neighbourhood, this rare and romantic apartment hits the spot in every respect.

Along the sandstone pathway, the pool set amongst rock gardens on the right arouses a sense of French Polynesia. Open the red cedar statement door and quickly realise life really is like a box of chocolates, full of wonderful surprises.

Besides being the homeowner’s micro gallery, albeit an eclectic assemblage of memorabilia from all corners of the globe, the living spaces with tumbled white limestone floors laid in a French pattern, are undeniably sophisticated.

Slide away the doors, note how indoors coalesces naturally to out, admire the undercover terrace, perfect for say entertaining, then realise there is more.

Close the plantation shutters for maximum privacy or open to reveal a massive terrace with garden, a thatched Polynesian-style gazebo is an alfresco dining option, also there are a few steps leading to a gate into Natasha Avenue. Great for taking the fourfooter for a walk.

The designer kitchen cabinetry including the island bench, has white stone benchtops, a Tuscan ceramic tiled splashback, butler-style sink plus all the bells and whistles such as highend appliances to suit the consummate entertainer.

The master suite looks out to garden, has two built-in robes and a Moroccaninspired bathroom with floor and wall tiles in the same pattern however different colourways. The aged walnut vanity has a white basin and there is a large bath tub

and walk-in shower.

“It’s certainly a chic apartment, incorporating the core fundamentals of what can only be perceived as the perfect lifestyle for the downsizer, a single person, couple or sage investor,” effuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart.

“It is so easy to see why you can leave the car in the garage. The quiet leafy street is so close to buzzy cosmopolitan Noosa Junction with its plethora of boutiques, supermarkets, cinema complex, myriad ontrend bars and cafes plus medical services and the transit centre. Noosa Main Beach, Hastings Street and the main entrance to Noosa National Park, with its world-famous Surfing Reserve are a walk away too.”
