Noosa seniors end with a splash In traditional Noosa style, Year 12 students celebrated their last day of school with a dash into the ocean.

Good Shepherd Lutheran College students led the cohort when they completed their school formalities and farewells on Thursday before charging down to Noosa Main Beach for the ceremonial swim, marking the end of their school life and the beginning of their journey ahead.

Other schools followed suit on Friday with schoolies celebrations officially beginning on Friday evening.

Oysters on rocks After three years and $3.6million the Noosa River oyster restoration project took a significant step last Friday when scientists from Bribie Island Research Centre joined The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and local volunteers to seed recently created reefs at its restored Tewantin site with oyster spat.

A group of about 20 participated in the historic occasion to seed Sydney rock oysters for the first time ever in a river.

Nine months ago a brood stock of adult, naturally occurring Noosa River oysters, Saccostrea glomerata, better known as Sydney rock oysters, were harvested from the Noosa River and taken to the Bribie Island Research Centre for spawning in laboratory conditions.

At the same time local restaurants collected and donated hundreds of oyster shells which

were cleaned and prepared by a team of volunteers in readiness for the oyster spat.

Senior research scientist Max Wingfield said the oysters which are spring season spawners were held in controlled tanks at the research station and fed a diet of five varieties of carefully prepared micro-algae.

“We have to culture the algae. It’s nearly as much work growing the micro-algae in laboratory conditions, making sure there are no bacteria,“ he said.

Oysters spawn by releasing a gonad that is either egg or sperm. While the fertilisation process occurs naturally in the river it’s important to manage the fertilisation in a tank as the presence of too much sperm attempting to fertilise an egg can void the process, Max said.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has launched the annual Mayor’s Christmas Appeal, urging locals to support six local charities who are helping those in need during the festive season.

“If you’re able to make a donation either in the form of a present for a child, food items or vouchers for food and back-to-school items, our local charities greatly appreciate the support,” she said.

The appeal supports the work of Salvation Army Noosa, St Vincent de Paul Noosa, Santa’s Classy Helpers, Youturn Youth Support, Sunny Kids and WomenKind.

“We’ve made it easy to help – council’s website lists the six local charities seeking support this Christmas and details of how you can contribute.

“2022 has been another difficult year for many in our community in the face of the current housing crisis and the lingering impacts of the global pandemic.

“This year, our local charities are looking for donations of presents for children, food items and vouchers, including vouchers to help par-

ents cover the cost of school supplies.”

Mayor Stewart kicked off the appeal with $500 worth of stationery store vouchers.

“Our local charities are doing such a great job to help those in need in our community, but they are stretched and they can’t do it alone.

“Your contribution will help ensure every child receives a gift at Christmas and families have food on the table, and that kids have the supplies they need for when they head back to school next year.”

See Council’s website at noosa.qld.gov. au for the list of charities in need of support and how to donate to each or you can drop off gifts and vouchers at the following locations around the shire, Tewantin-Noosa RSL Club, Memorial Avenue, Tewantin, Noosa Council, 9 Pelican Street, Tewantin or Cooroy Library, 9 Maple Street, Cooroy.

“Every donation, no matter how small, helps make a difference to those dealing with significant hardship this Christmas,“ Cr Stewart said.

The $8 million Noosa Heads upgraded section of Noosa Parade was celebrated this week but I’m still not sure that I welcome the new look.

Perhaps when the trees grow, it’s filled with cyclists and walkers and the traffic has decreased, I’ll appreciate more the advantages of the $6666 per metre 1.2km stretch.

At the moment it feels a little stark, especially compared to the magnificent paperbark-lined section of the Parade heading into Noosaville.

And I wonder how much difference that extra width of footpath will mean in the scheme of things.

But, as was mentioned at its launch on Monday, it’s a mindset that needs to change before a behaviour change follows, before people decide to leave their cars behind and walk or cycle instead, and maybe the new-look strip will help that along.

In other news, this Sunday Zonta will host their walk against violence against women along Gympie Terrace. Sadly there’s much domestic violence in Noosa with increasing amounts in recent years.

Also, Christmas is coming fast so look out for local celebrations, buy local when you’re searching for the perfect gift and spare a thought for those in need. The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal launched this week with proceeds going to six local charities, each one worthy.

Millionaire’s row delivers A 10 month and $8 million upgrade of 1.2km of one of the shire’s busiest roads, Noosa Parade was officially opened on Monday with Noosa councillors, Noosa MP and interested parties test driving the widened bike and pedestrian path of the active transport corridor.

Councillor Amelia Lorentson, standing in for Mayor Clare Stewart, joined Noosa MP Sandy Bolton to open the upgraded section.

It provides an improved and safer access for all-round users and promotes happy and healthy travel, Cr Lorentson said.

Cr Lorentson said council’s recent Liveability survey showed increased walking and riding infrastructure were a top priority.

“Residents tell us they would use their bikes more if there was more infrastructure,“ she said.

“Bike riding, whether it is for sport, commuting or just for recreation, is a popular activity in Noosa. The 1.5 metre on-road bike lane and permanent reduction in the speed limit to 40km will help improve road safety for all users.

“New LED lighting will provide a much needed safety boost for those bike-riding and walking in the evening and early mornings.“

All bus stops in the corridor were upgraded to meet disability compliance standards and three Noosa-style bus shelters were also installed to make public transport in the area more accessible and convenient.

Cr Lorentson said 350 new mature trees and 8000 shrubs had been planted along the corridor to provide shade and improve the visual amenity.

Ms Bolton acknowledged the community concerns that were raised when trees were removed from the corridor at the start of the project but said the new trees had been planted in consultation with the community.

She congratulated council and contractors for a “fantastic job“ and praised residents for their assistance during the construction period.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey congratulated the council on completing the work, which was partially funded through the State Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants program.

“Investment in safer bike-riding infrastructure helps get more people riding, more often, and promotes healthy travel,“ he said.

“Our investments in bike-riding infrastruc-

ture are targeted at the highest priority cycling routes that improve connectivity across the local network.“ Mayor Clare Stewart said council’s vision for the project was a safer street that works for everyone, “whether you’re on four wheels, two wheels, or your own two feet“.

The upgrade delivers new disability compliant refuge islands and wider pathways, including a 1.5m southern pathway and 2.5m northern pathway.

“By providing dedicated on-road bicycle lanes, as well as safer pathways and pedestrian crossings, we hope to see more residents and visitors choosing to leave their cars at home,” she said.

Noosa Parade is a core route in the Principal Cycle Network Plan for south-east Queensland.

Construction of the $8 million Noosa Parade corridor upgrade was funded by state and local government.

The bus stop upgrades were funded by the State Government’s Passenger Transport Accessible Infrastructure Program which provided dollar for dollar funding support to Council for the civil works and $19,000 per shelter under the Bus Stop Shelter Program.

Cr Tom Wegener has a test run of the widened 2.5m walk and cycle path.

International study finds that K’Gari ’made’ the reef

By Arthur Gorrie A major international study has found what researchers claim is a new discovery about the role of the Cooloola sandmass region and K’gari (Fraser Island) in making the southern Great Barrier Reef possible.

AAP reports that a peer-reviewed study found evidence K’gari formed between 0.7 and 1.2 million years ago and promoted coral reef formation by effectively cleaning sediment from adjacent waters.

It dramatically reduced sediment supply to the continental shelf to its north, the researchers say.

Writing in Nature Geoscience, the University of Queensland researchers found K’gari facilitated widespread coral reef formation in the southern and central Great Barrier Reef and was a necessary precondition for its development.

The island acted as a barrier to longshore drift which redirected sediment off the edge of the continental shelf, resulting in an increase in carbonate sedimentation and reef growth north of the island.

But before it existed, northward longshore drift would have interfered with coral reef development in the southern and central GBR, according to ocean drilling program results.

The research also looked at sediment and soil sequences along Rainbow Beach and the Cooloola Sand Mass cliffs.

It indicates the island prevented northward terrestrial sand transport, decreasing sediment across the southern reef.

From this, carbonate sedimentation dominated and was vital to reef development.

The Cooloola sand mass region, from these sand cliffs north to Rainbow Beach and K’gari (Fraser Island) played a vital role in forming the Great Barrier Reef, scientists say.

Whether longshore sediment transport also contributed to reef development further north requires more research, they said.

The joint study from the University of Queensland, University of Canterbury, The Australian National University, Flinders

University, University of Western Australia, Stockholm University can be found in Nature Geoscience.

Misconduct a ‘mistake’ Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie has admitted he engaged in misconduct at two council meetings in June 2018.

Acting on the findings and orders of the Queensland Councillor Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Cr Wilkie made the admission and said it was a genuine mistake at last Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting.

Allegations were made in 2019 that his conduct a year earlier involved a breach of trust placed in him as a councillor as it was inconsistent with two principles of the Local Government Act - “Transparent and effective processes, and decision-making in the public interest” and “ethical and legal behaviour of councillors and local government employees”.

The tribunal this month determined Cr Wilkie failed to inform meetings on 12 and 21 June, 2018 of a conflict of interest in relation to an application for a $2000 grant by the Peregian Beach Community Association (PBCA) to create a ring of 10 sandstone blocks in a public

space adjacent the Peregian Community Kindergarten, which was on the council agenda for approval.

Cr Wilkie’s personal interest included his late father having been PBCA president, his own previous membership of the association from 2014-2017, and a donation of $200 for his 2016 election campaign from the then PBCA vice president Barry Cotterell, with whom he had a longstanding association.

In his address to council Cr Wilkie said he genuinely did not believe he intended to engage in a conflict of interest.

“I should have declared a perceived conflict of interest,“ he said.

“I admit I made a genuine mistake. I acknowledge the finding of misconduct. I take full responsibility for my error of judgement.“ The tribunal also found that Cr Wilkie gained no personal or material benefit from the project which was recommended for ap-

proval by staff and unanimously approved by councillors. And the funding was not eventually granted as council created the proposed ring of stones as part of the planned upgrade to the Rufous Street Precinct.

The ruling also included an order for Cr Wilkie to complete training, at his own expense, on identifying real or perceived conflicts of interest within 12 months of the tribunal’s determination.

Cr Wilkie said he would be seeking a review of the decision from the tribunal.

He made a pledge to council to continue to disclose any perceived conflict of interest.

“This is a timely reminder we do need to get this right 100 per cent of the time - it’s what I always endeavour to do,“ he said.

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie has admitted misconduct.

Placing oysters on the rocks is a postive step forward From page 1 The young oyster larvae hatch about an hour after fertilisation and within 24 hours have gone through the larval stage to already resemble an oyster but at a size of only 70 microns.

Over about three weeks they increase to about 320 microns and grow a foot enabling them to crawl rather than swim. Then they move to a shell, find a place to attach and never move again, he said.

Last Friday 40 bags of oyster shells, each containing about 320 shells with each shell carrying about 10 oyster spat, adding up to about 280,000 oyster spat were seeded in the reef.

Scientists and volunteers carefully placed the spat-filled oyster shells within the crev-

ices between the rocks.

So far they’ve had a nice diet delivered to them but the filter feeders will now fend for themselves.

“That’s what oysters are good at. They filter food for nutrition, cleaning the water in the process,“ Max said.

“It’s good for the environment on both fronts - cleaning the water and providing habitat and refuge for other species of invertebrates and fish.“ TNC will take over monitoring of the oysters from the research scientists.

TNC’s Megan Connell said the oysters would mature over 12-18 months, become adult Sydney rock oysters in three years with the colony expected to continue to reproduce and expand across the restoration site.

Seeded oyster shells are secured into crevices in the rocks.

Walk of honour and pride On their final school day, the class of 2022 Year 12 students were honoured and celebrated by the entire student body during the Good Shepherd Lutheran College’s emotion charged walk of honour.

Head of senior year students Jo Foley said all students from Prep to Year 11 lined the paths clapping and cheering as the Year 12s soaked up the atmosphere and admiration of their peers.

“Past GSLC graduates describe it as one of the most moving and proud moments of their final days of school life. It is also a very touching moment for parents to be part of the celebrations as they witness their children commence their journey into adulthood,“ she said.

“To music that was a collation of the top songs from each year of their school life, the walk through the campus started and finished at the College Chapel where, in front of their families and friends, they were given blessings for their future.”

The walk of honour has become a tradition at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, since 2009, as a rite of passage for Year 12 students as they come to the conclusion of their school years. Many of the graduating 2022 Year 12s first walked the grounds as young students in the junior years, enjoying the challenges and highlights of their educational journey which would conclude with their graduation before they launch into the next exciting phase of their life ahead.

As they transition from Good Shepherd student to Good Shepherd alumni and prepare to say goodbye to their school days forever, College captain Jolie May reflected on her years.

“It was an amazing journey of growth and development. We have precious memories and friendships that will give us the courage to take the next exciting steps as we all move in different directions,“ she said.

College captain Logan Connors is excited about the future but relished the moment.

“We are here today as the sum of 13 years

Prep and Year 1 students gift each graduate a sunflower, a symbol of loyalty and adoration. of change and growth, the sum of 13 years of schooling. While we are done with school forever, and we are moving onto a new period of change and excitement, there is one thing that won’t change, the fact that we will forever be the GSLC class of 2022, with all its precious memories and friendships,” he said.

Jolie, who has been at Good Shepherd since her Prep year, encouraged her peers to be brave, by quoting a Taylor Swift song: “Everything you lose is a step you take. So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment, and taste it.... You’ve got no reason to be afraid.

So please embrace this next big change in our lives but don’t forget to take in these last moments and proudly celebrate all that we’ve achieved and experienced together.”

Good Shepherd principal Anthony Dyer said it was always an emotional moment when all the students and staff come out to wish them well.

“There are many celebrations, but none will capture the student experience and essence of GSLC like the warmth expressed at the walk of honour. We are confident that these students will go on to do great things and we look forward to watching their journey and wish them well as they do so,“ he said.

High fives from the middle years.

Tears of sadness but also joy.

Zonta takes action

DV pledge

By Arthur Gorrie

Each year, from 25 November to 10 December the United Nations Women’s 16 Days of Activism campaign calls for action against one of the world’s most persistent violations of human rights - violence against women.

During the 16 Days of Activism, people around the world will unite to raise awareness about gender-based violence, challenge discriminatory attitudes and call for improved laws and services to end violence against women for good.

The Zonta Club of Noosa will play its part in raising awareness by holding an event at the Riverstage, Lions Park, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville at 5.30pm on 27 November to highlight the issue of gender-based violence against women in Australia.

A candlelight vigil and walk along the river will be held to honour those who have lost their lives through domestic violence.

The superficially dull wording of an annual report reviewing domestic violence deaths, contrasts with its dedication, almost a prayer - a pledge by government agencies to learn from tragedy and do better in future.

“We honour those who have lost their lives to domestic and family violence and extend our sympathies to their loved ones who are left behind, their lives forever changed by their loss,“ the report begins.

“We seek to ensure that domestic and family violence deaths do not go unnoticed, unexamined or forgotten.“ Fortunately, helping services are learning to work together, according to the annual report of the plainly named Domestic and Family Violence Death Review and Advisory Board, which aims to save lives by learning from sometimes tragic past failures of inter-agency co-operation and understanding.

The past two years were “milestone years“ in improving these services, according to board chairperson and State Coroner Terry Ryan. The annual report was presented to state parliament earlier this month by Attorney General and Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Minister Shannon Fentiman.

“The board is required to identify common systemic failures, gaps or issues and make recommendations to improve systems, practices and procedures that aim to prevent future domestic and family violence deaths,“ the report says.

“In particular, the board acknowledges and recognises significant work by the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce. “[It] made 277 recommendations, all accepted at least in principle by the state government, covering legislative, policy, program and practice changes.“

Deer in the spotlight again

By Margie Maccoll A year on from Noosa council’s 12-month approval of a wild deer abattoir in a rural-residential zone, the owner is asking for unlimited approval and a doubling of production and commercial collections, while neighbours say the industrial enterprise does not comply with the Noosa Plan, is destroying their amenity and ruining their lives.

Business and land owners Adam and Belinda Neilson retrofitted a 51sqm shed at a cost of $300,000 on their battle-axe property at 82 Patterson Drive, Tinbeerwah, for processing wild deer carcasses before obtaining council approval last year.

A wild game harvester and meat inspector accredited with Safe Food Queensland, Adam Neilson hunts Chital deer west of Gympie.

In line with council approval the animals are eviscerated in the field where they are hunted before being transported in the night to the facility, inspected and processed during the day, with the meat sold at farmers’ markets off site.

Council approval of the meat works expires on 17 December and the Neilsons have enlisted the services of Russell Green Strategic to apply for indefinite approval, an increase of processing from five to 10 deer carcasses per week and access for commercial collections of their products.

Council imposed conditions on the homebased business that it was to be operated solely by the resident, the deer were hunted one night a week and covered before transportation to the facility, the meat would be processed between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday and would be transported to market Saturdays and Mondays.

Council last year demanded the meat processing be contained within the insulated shed, would not impact on residents’ amenity, that the application was compliant with the

Australian Wild Game Harvesters hunt and process wild deer for local sale.

Wild deer from the Tinbeerwah meat works is sold at Noosa Farmers Market. planning scheme for the zone and would not be able to expand without being in breach of its approval.

Extra conditions required the operator to use a covered truck to transport the carcasses, dim vehicle lights at night, turn off the refrigerated trailer on-site and landscape and maintain a green screen between the driveway and neighbours.

They say in their application that they have complied with all of council’s conditions and deny the validity of neighbours’ complaints.

Neighbours say the abattoir is not a small scale home business and has no place on a property smaller than four hectares in their quiet, tight-knit rural-residential neighbourhood. They say it should be relocated to a commercial zone.

Neighbours also say it does not comply with the Noosa Plan for a home-based business because it is not domestic in scale, does not protect the local amenity, is not compatible with the character of the area, produces large volumes of waste and generates increasing traffic.

A year ago 500 people signed a petition opposing the approval of the meatworks and 24 people wrote submissions but they fear their concerns are being ignored.

Neighbours say they are woken in the night by high beam lights and vehicle noise when the applicant returns from hunting and every Saturday and Sunday when they take their meat-filled refrigerated trailer to market.

They say the applicant’s new request for

commercial delivery trucks was “beyond a joke“ and would add to the increasing traffic to the property in addition to its harvesting vehicle, septic trucks, refrigerated trailer and sludge truck used to pump waste from their grease pit.

Complaints were raised that the business owner’s vegetation planting was inadequate to screen the meat works which forced neighbours to invest in their own screening plants to provide privacy.

One neighbour raised concerns about waste disposal with the property bordering a riparian zone running down to Lake McDonald.

“We don’t have sewerage. Everything goes into the ground,“ the neighbour said.

Another neighbour raised concerns the business would devalue property prices, citing an instance where a buyer took back her purchase deposit on a property after being told of the abattoir in the area.

A year ago councillors voted to impose a condition to lapse the permit in 12 months until a council assessment, that took into account resident complaints, could be made.

The application is expected to go before council in December.

Kilian’s time was 1:57:48.10; and Tom finished 21st in 1:47:13.50.

Tom started the race fast, setting the pace from the outset. This can be seen when watching the full race on YouTube, as he stayed in the top three for much of the race. He said: “My Israel experience was one of a kind. Flying in over the sand dunes and then visiting the Red Sea to race in was eye-opening and to see where my swimming could possibly take me was a humbling experience.

“It was my best race to date and was truly amazing. Leading Into this race I was definitely wanting an improvement and to say I achieved that would be an understatement.”

Teenage up and coming champion swimmers, Kilian Carrel and Thomas Raymond, returned to Noosa last weekend after their trip to Israel and, according to Tom, having had an adventure which was “one of a kind.”

Three weeks ago told how the boys were raising funds to go to Israel and compete in the 10km Open Water event at the FINA Marathon Swim World Cup Series.

The Noosa community rallied and the boys left on November 4 , recovering from their jetlag by training for three days at Israel’s National Institute of Sport in Wingate.

They then flew to the race-venue at Eilat where they prepared for the race off the Eilat foreshore of the Red Sea. In an email to Noosa Today, Kilian said:

“Both Tom and I agreed this was the nicest water we’ve ever swam in – the blue skies made the water so clear and we really enjoyed the fish and many shipwrecks.

“The race was held on November 12 and there were 52 competitors. I was next to the Gregorio Paltreneri of Italy, current world champion in both the 1500m Freestyle in the pool and 10km Open Water Marathon swim.”

[Paltreneri won the race in 1:46:41.80] “I stuck to the main pack for as long as possible. The pace was so fast. The water was very salty, which made everyone more buoyant, and the race was a lot more physical.

“I learnt a lot during the race, was happy with the result, and consider it to be a huge improvement from my first international race in Paris earlier this year. Tom and I copped a

of the race on YouTube. The excitement of the final 6 minutes of the women’s race won by Australian Chelsea Gubecka is ‘must-see viewing’. Chelsea won by 3.8 seconds in a time of 1:56:19.80.

Next challenge for both lads is the Australian National Championships in late January.

They want to qualify for the Australian team and according to their coach John ‘JR’ Rodgers, “overall it was a superb performance by both Tom and Killian and they have a future in Marathon swimming.”

Kilian and Tom both stated how grateful they were to Noosa Today and the Noosa community generally for the encouragement and financial support in their bid to gain more experience in international Open Water swimming at the highest level.

Jobs come with housing Noosa’s housing crisis has had a significant impact on a number of local industries including hospitality.

Well known hospitality identity Peter Kuruvita has come up with a solution which he believes will help attract and retain quality staff for his Alba restaurant.

Alba by Kuruvita at Parkridge Noosa opened to rave reviews early this year, however, securing staff has been an ongoing issue.

Peter decided to team up with Parkridge Noosa developer Alex Rigby and Rob McCready from Altum Property Group who developed Parkridge Noosa to offer accommodation as part of an employment package with his restaurant.

“Most of our current staff are locals so they have their accommodation needs sorted but we are looking to attract new talent across the whole business including appointing a functions manager so we needed to get creative to provide a more attractive solution,“ Peter said.

“As you can imagine there’s lots of people who want to move to Noosa and there’s plenty of jobs around but finding suitable accommodation is an ongoing issue. We feel this will give us a real point of difference and help us secure quality staff.“ Altum Property Group director Alex Rigby said Parkridge Noosa recently won the 2022 UDIA Queensland Award for the best medium density project in the state and Alba was an important drawcard for investors and residents.

“We’re in a fortunate position to be able to put aside several residences at our latest project, The Whitely on Noosa Eumundi Road for Peter to use as part of an employment package

Peter Kuruvita has come up with a housing solution for staff. for potential staff members,“ he said.

“As far as we know this is a first for Noosa whereby a privately owned hospitality venue has offered accommodation to lure and retain staff. As a long term local developer we have seen the current impact of housing scarcity from both a demand and supply point of view and we are confident this will help Peter ensure Alba Noosa can continue to grow and prosper.

“The Whitely apartments will be completed in mid 2023 so we’re looking forward to casting the net wide to secure the best possible talent,” Alex said.

Flooding drenches Freya’s fine jewellery store dream

By Abbey Cannan Thousands of dollars worth of jewellery has been ruined in a Hastings Street store after a water filter burst and flooded the shop.

Eumundi’s Lilli Frey was all smiles at the grand opening of her store, Freya Fine Jewels, in August this year.

She was shocked to see water flowing out from underneath her store door last week, causing extensive damage and an unsafe workspace.

“The water filter burst... and then all of the water just poured through into my shop and it saturated everything,” Lilli said.

“The first thing we saw was water all over the entire entrance to the food court and the next thing we saw was water just flowing out from underneath my store door. We could see water pouring through the light fittings.”

Lilli said she’s lost about 80 per cent of the store fit out, with cabinets and shelves destroyed.

“I’ve also lost about 40 per cent of my jewellery stock,“ she said.

“The worst part of it is, I don’t have loss of trade insurance, and I can’t open because the whole store smells damp and mouldy.

At the moment I can’t let anyone in there because it’s not safe.

“We’ve just started the Christmas season and I was expecting it to be the time to make back some of the money we spent setting up the shop.

“It’s just been a massive shock. Everything was just starting to work in our favour and suddenly we’re back at square one with massive financial loss that we won’t be able to cover.”

Eumundi’s Lilli Frey was all smiles at the grand opening of her new Hastings Street store in August.

Picture: CASSANDRA ALEX PHOTOGRAPHY Although she would like to move the business to another location to open for the Christmas period, Lilli said it’s not as easy to pack up and move as there are leases to navigate.

“The heart of our business is connecting with our customers on a personal level and it’s not quite the same through a website,“ she said.

“The undamaged stock is on our website and that’s how the community can support us to get us through the Christmas season until the extensive repairs are done to the building structure.“ To shop online to support the local business visit freyanoosa.com.au

John’s party of the century

By Phil Jarratt Turning 90 is certainly something to celebrate – perhaps a few friends over for a quiet sherry or a glass of bubbly, followed by a three or four stage careful blowing out of all those candles – but throughout his colourful and productive life, Sunrise Beach retiree John Fraser has never been one to do things by half.

This becomes evident as the former timber baron ushers me into his Stephen Kidd-designed Provencal mansion, Villa des dauphins on the Sunrise seacliffs, via his garage so he can show me the gleaming red Ferrari he has just bought as an early birthday present to himself.

“Haven’t driven it yet,” he calls over his shoulder as he guides me into the villa, “but she’ll do 210 kph.”

I’m a little taken aback at the thought of a frail 90-year-old behind the wheel of a red speed machine, but this pales into insignificance as John walks me through the eclectic interior of the split-level home and explains how what may well be Noosa’s party of the century is going to roll next week.

“There will be 102 guests from all over the place.

“They’ll be offered Moet et Chandon on arrival and whatever they want to drink throughout the night. They’ll sit down to a three-course dinner, and the entertainment, oh, let me tell you about the entertainment!”

We’re in his large and messy office now – he might be retired but he’s still busy - and he rummages through a mountain of paper to find the list of performers.

“OK, I’ve got a brilliant opera singer and his pianist, a bloke called The Piano Man who does incredible impersonations, and three dancing violinists… people don’t just want to hear music, they want to be entertained!”

I ask who the opera singer is.

John has another rummage.

“Ah, here it is. His name’s Virgilio and his pianist is Kylie.”

Wait, what! Not Virgilio Marino, the star tenor of Opera Australia, most recently headlining in Madame Butterfly at the Sydney Opera House?

“Yep, that’d be him.”

God knows what that’s costing, but I’m guessing Virgilio doesn’t do private recitals for a free feed and a few glasses of Moet.

Well, you’re only 90 once.

But John Fraser wasn’t to the manor born.

After finishing school he did six months compulsory National Service and loved the army life so much that when it was over he re-enlisted, eventually becoming a commissioned officer.

Then one night he and another officer were out at a suburban dance hall not far from their barracks when the friend asked if he could borrow John’s car to take home a girl he had his eye on.

John reluctantly agreed, but a short time later his mate returned despondent.

“She won’t even dance with me,” he wailed.

John said: “I bet you 10 bob she’ll dance with me and I’ll take her home.”

Picture: PJ

John and his new Ferrari.

The first Ferrari makes the cover!

They shook on it and by the end of the night John was 10 bob richer and he’d met the love of his life.

“Pat and I were married six months later – I was 23 and she was 18 – and we’re still together 66 years later.”

The army life involved too much moving around for a married man, so John resigned his commission and decided to give the wheels of industry a spin, starting his own small timber business at Toongabbie in Sydney’s west.

“I became a production engineer although I’ve got no degrees in that, but I built three factories and two houses and renovated eight, and I didn’t have degrees for that either! But I did have an accounting degree, so I knew how to make the numbers work.”

He certainly did.

Travelling to plantations in Malaysia, the Philippines and Canada three or four times a year to secure the best prices, John built Fraser’s Timber into a huge manufacturer of hous-

ing frames and trusses.

By 1973 he was able to indulge a midlife crisis at age 41 by buying his first red Ferrari, which featured on the cover of a motoring magazine.

When he finally sold the business two years ago at 88, it was for an undisclosed but huge sum, and last year he sold the six acres it stood on at Toongabbie to Microsoft for a data centre for almost $20 million.

Like a lot of self-made millionaires, John became passionate about yachting, buying and skippering a string of ocean racers, including his pride and joy, Evelyn, a 55-footer, but he also loved the cut and thrust of Etchell racing.

It was yachting that brought him to Noosa, and he and Pat fell in love with it, buying their clifftop block and commissioning award-winning architect Steve Kidd to build the holiday home of their dreams, now their permanent residence.

So it’s been a full and happy life, peppered

with smart moves, good fortune and outrageous gambles.

Why not go completely over the top to celebrate it!

“At my age I’m here for a good time, not a long time,” John says as he shows me the multicoloured water fountain he’s just restored, and demonstrates how he can change the colours using an app on his phone.

He grabs my arm to emphasise a point.

“This is going to be a hell of a party. The whole night will be videoed and a copy sent to every guest.

“Everyone will have a name tag because guests are coming from all over and we might not have seen each other for a while.

“Some of my old sailing buddies are coming, not all because most of my friends are dead.

“But the ones who are left are going to remember this night forever.”

“I am so excited to be a 2TM Radio Discovered for the very first time and looking forward to co-hosting with Monte on the show! I’m a bit of a chatterbox, so hopefully he doesn’t pull the pin on me,“ Sari laughed.

“It’s going to be a very busy month in January as I’m also attending the Academy of Country Music from 3 January and merging straight into the 51st Tamworth Country Music Festival.“ Sari joins fellow finalists Jess Holbrook, Mackenzie Lee, Beth Lucas and Georgie Durr to perform at the 2TM Discovered concert at

Centrepoint Tamworth on Friday 20 January from 10am.

The five 2TM Discovered finalists will perform in front of a panel of judges including Golden Guitar winner Aleyce Simmonds, Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson and 2TM program director, Jarrad Brooke.

2TM Breakfast Announcer, Monte, will host the 2TM Discovered concert and the winner receives $500 cash to spend at Centrepoint Tamworth and 2TM will present the winner with a beautiful trophy.

The winner will also be considered for airplay on 1287 2TM. 2TM General Manager, Nikki Kenwrick said it was important to continue 2TM’s history of nurturing talent through the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Sari released her third single, Too Much Space, on 8 August prior to her performances at the Gympie Music Muster where she was a finalist in the NAB Talent Search.

Darren’s home for Sam Penny takes on the TEDx Talks stage Christmas

Sunshine Coast local and champion of Australian small business, Sam Penny, has been named a speaker for TEDxBrisbane 2022, as it returns for the first time since Covid-19.

After three reschedules and more than three years of planning, TEDxBrisbane will return on 3 December with a showcase themed Engineering Impact.

The one-day event will feature 15 TEDx Talks, highlighted by five incredible performances from local artists.

TEDxBrisbane executive director Juanita Wheeler said the showcase would bring together provocateurs of change including Cheesemonger, Sam Penny.

Sam is the co-founder of Buderim-based Cheese Therapy, Australia’s largest artisan cheese retailer, and is a champion of small business.

He is an entrepreneur with a passion for making micro changes that have compounding benefits to individuals and communities.

Cheese Therapy began as a small family business and grew into a venture focused on supporting Australian traditional cheesemakers impacted by bushfires, droughts and Covid, while providing consumers with the best boutique, artisanal products delivered straight to their homes.

“I’m excited to share my ideas and experience to the people of Brisbane,” Mr Penny said.

“It’s a unique opportunity to join others in conversation and discuss how we can support Australian producers while growing business at the same time.”

Ms Wheeler said: “There was always a strong demand for TEDxBrisbane, from people across

Noosa’s Sari Abbott can’t put a foot wrong this year.

South East Queensland who have attended before and want to soak up the experience again, and from those who love TEDx Talks and want to experience them live and local.”

The event will also see the launch of the The Advocate Program with attendees paired with experts with shared interests to help promote discussion and accelerate change.

“Advocates play a pivotal role in TEDxBrisbane’s Engineering Impact strategy,” Ms Wheeler said.

“The Advocate Program allows participants to stay inspired, put their ideas into action, and stay connected in meaningful and benefi-

cial ways with the TEDxBrisbane community.”

This year, TEDxBrisbane is also providing attendees with the option to Pay It Forward and purchase a scholarship ticket for people who would otherwise be unable to attend.

Attendees can sponsor 20 per cent or 100 per cent of the scholarship ticket. Applications for the scholarship tickets will go live in the coming weeks.

16 Days of Activism Commencing annually on 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) and running until 10 December (Human Rights Day), the 16 Days of Activism campaign was started by activists at the inaugural Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991 and continues to be coordinated each year by UN Women. It is used as an organising strategy by individuals and organisations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

16 ways to call it out 1. Don’t laugh at sexist jokes.

Give a disapproving look to show a behaviour or statement is not okay.

2. Shake your head or roll your eyes.

3. Leave a pointed and uncomfortable silence.

4. Make a light-hearted comment: “What century are you living in?”

5. Check in with the person affected: “I heard what he just said – are you okay?”

6. Privately let them know the behaviour is not okay: “The joke you made in yesterday’s meeting was not funny, and actually not okay.”

7. Calmly disagree and state that the comment is wrong or unacceptable: “I know you probably didn’t mean it, but I found what you said to be offensive.”

8. Speak up and educate by explaining why you disagree: “Actually evidence shows the vast majority of women do not make up false claims of sexual assault” (you could use the Key Facts in this toolkit).

9. Challenge the logic: “That’s not my experience.” or “What makes you think that?”

10. Stand up for the person affected: “Michelle was saying something, and you cut her off again.”

12579347-AV47-22

11. Make eye contact with the person affected – let them know you’re an ally.

12. Show your emotion: “It actually makes me sad/uncomfortable when you say that.”

13. Support others when they call it out: “I agree, that’s not funny.”

Be an active bystander Bystanders may observe gendered violence in any of these environments and have the capacity to act.

Bystander action refers to ‘how’ a bystander calls out, or engages others in responding to incidences of violence, sexism, harassment, or discrimination.

There is no ‘right way’ to be an active bystander.

14. Appeal to their better self: “Come on, you’re better than that.”

15. Report the behaviour to management, or via incident reporting systems if available.

16. Disrupt or distract the situation to redirect focus from the incident to something else.

Depending on the situation at hand, various forms of intervention can be deployed, and a bystander should consider their own comfort and safety above all else.

Giving back at Laguna Laguna Real Estate held their annual cocktail party at Gusto Restaurant on Wednesday 16 November where clients and staff were treated with canapes and drinks.

The event involved drawing their three cash winners from the $20,000 cash competition that was run over the year.

Laguna clients automatically went into the draw to win if they listed their property with Laguna during the eligible dates.

This year there were three cash draws, increasing everyone’s chances of winning.

The largest cash prize of $12,500 was awarded to Billy and Jessica Thoroughgood, the second cash prize of $5000 was awarded to Max Carlton and the third prize of $2500 to Bryan and Julie McLean.

In addition to the cash draw, Laguna ran a charity holiday suction where proceeds went to disabled children in the community and they were excited to announce the amount raised was $1500.

Thanks goes to Di Henshall for outbidding all others to win this holiday and to help raise money towards this wonderful charity.

Two sales consultants at Laguna Real Estate were given special mention on the night, one

being Rob Nimmo at the Laguna Gympie Office for having the most sellers in the draw.

The other agent was Melanie Butcher at the Laguna Noosaville Office for having the second most sellers in the draw and for being recognised as a finalist for residential salesperson of the Year in the 2022 REIQ Awards for Excellence.

Gusto Restaurant manager Timothy kindly donated a $200 dinner voucher for guests and the lucky winner was again Di Henshall, a fitting result given her generous donation.

Olivier Miller, principal of Laguna Real Estate gave a special thanks to Justin Voss, auctioneer extraordinaire who gave up his valuable time to be MC for the event.

Overall, the night was a huge success enjoyed by all of Laguna’s clients with a fabulous selection of food, wine and most importantly company. Laguna looks forward to next year and meeting their new clients from Noosa up to Gympie.

Giving back to the community that gives to them is something Olivier and her team always focus on, now and in the future.

Laguna endeavours to be seen as the real estate agency giving back to those who generously support their business.

Feeling fab with cancer After being diagnosed with low-grade serous ovarian cancer last year at the age of 42, Jo Yates of Noosa has completed treatment, beaten the cancer and set up a website containing all the information she struggled to find to help other women in the same situation.

She researched cancer-focused Facebook groups, surveyed other cancer patients and spoke with the people supporting patients to come up with content that patients and their supporters were looking for before launching FUCancer.network (Fabulous You During Cancer).

“Until my diagnosis I hadn’t really heard of ovarian cancer, which is traditionally thought of as an older women’s disease. I was shocked to receive this diagnosis and am now determined to raise awareness for other women with the aim of getting more women into treatment early,“ she said.

Jo had no obvious symptoms of her cancer which was diagnosed after her doctor sent her for further testing when a regular Pap smear result detected some strange cells.

The doctor ordered an ultrasound, suspecting Jo had endometriosis, but the scan found tumours on each of her ovaries.

She had surgery, with pathology determining the tumours to be benign, but cancerous cells were detected in her omentum, a sheet of fat that stretches over the abdomen, protecting the organs, and so her doctors recommended she be treated with chemotherapy.

“While I had all the confidence in the world with my medical team, I really struggled with my changed appearance and body as I went through treatment. I also found it hard to find un-medical, more relatable information to help me feel my best despite what I was going through,“ Jo said.

“It’s a crappy thing to go through. You want to be reading something positive.“ At the time of her diagnosis Jo was fit, healthy and enjoying an active lifestyle, but

Jo celebrates her birthday during treatment with Ale Rose and Scarlett Rose. really struggled with the way the treatment changed her appearance and her body. She was unable to find easy to access information on managing these changes in a way that spoke to her. There was plenty of medical information available but it was pretty dry and there was a lack of information on the softer side effects of treatment, hence why she decided to create her site.

“I was losing hair and eyebrows. It was very hard to deal with as well as nausea and weight gain,“ she said.

Her website contains tips like using a cold cap before and after chemo to reduce hair loss, the pros and cons of wig wearing and the changes to your hair when it regrows.

Content covers skin care and changes to body to help patients understand what to expect and how to manage these with recommendations on products that she found helpful.

A friend who had been through supporting her mother with breast cancer arranged a chemo care pack for Jo which she said was incredibly helpful.

“I had no idea what I might need to get through chemotherapy so having that pack was not only a thoughtful and practical gift but took away some of the mental stress in preparing for treatment. I have taken this idea and curated chemo packs supporters can send to someone starting cancer treatment.”

It is estimated there will be over 162,000 cases of cancer diagnoses in Australia in 2022.

Around 89,000 of those are male and over 73,000 women. That number is expected to rise in the coming years.

Jo intends to regularly update content as she is always learning from her fellow cancer patients.

“I wasted a huge amount of money on various products to try to manage these appearance changes and I know other women have too. I wanted to recommend products I found helpful to help others avoid wasted money at a time when finances can be a struggle,“ she said.

There are also articles for family and friends of cancer patients such as What Not to Say to Someone With Cancer that are filled with advice from first hand experience and the feedback of other patients.

“You won’t believe the amount of people who told me they knew someone who died of cancer when I told them I was in treatment. I know it’s coming from a place of (misplaced) empathy but it isn’t helpful and I wanted to help spare other people from this conversation,“ she said.

At the start of her treatment Jo found her friends and family struggled with knowing what to do to help.

Jo wore hats after chemotherapy to hide her hair loss.

With an aim to help Noosa’s ageing population, Icon will build a new, state-of-theart radiation oncology service in Noosa at Stockwell’s Noosa Civic Medihub.

The Noosa and Noosa Hinterland region has experienced an annual population growth of 2.3 per cent in the past decade, compared to 1.5 per cent across the state, with over 25 per cent of the region’s population aged 65 years and older.

With latest figures showing one in two older Australians will receive a cancer diagnosis by the time they are 85, Icon Group chief executive officer Mark Middleton said they know how important access to cancer treatment will be for the community to meet this growing need.

Icon Cancer Centre Noosa will provide cutting-edge radiation therapy technology, including an advanced Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator. The service will treat all tumour streams and provide over 900 new courses of radiation therapy each year.

“Icon Cancer Centre Noosa will deliver the best possible cancer care closer to home, making a significant difference to local cancer patients and their families for many years to come,“ Mr Middleton said.

The Noosa Civic Medihub is part of the Noosa Business Centre owned and managed by private Queensland property company Stockwell and is the first step in providing tertiary health care for the local community with no need to travel outside the local area to access services.

The Medihub was approved by Noosa Shire Council in August.

Cr Clare Stewart, Mayor Noosa Shire Council said, “To have a world-class cancer service in Noosa is a major benefit to our community and provides high quality health services closer to home.“ “This investment is good for the local economy and important for those living with cancer in the community,“ she said.

“I am very proud of Noosa Council’s support of the Medihub which will provide life changing and life saving medical ser-

vices to our community. No longer will our residents have to leave the Shire for treatment. It is a game changer for so many in our community, not just those dealing with cancer and other critical health issues but also their families, friends and loved ones who provide care and support.“ Along with Icon Cancer Centre, Noosa Civic Family Practice will be relocating to the Medihub. Leases are also being finalised with Cardiology and Pathology service providers. Stockwell’s managing director Mark Stockwell said he and the team at Stockwell were excited about what the future holds for the Medihub and broader Noosa Business Centre with Stockwell being the original creator and builder of Noosa Civic.

Damian Glover, Medical Centre operations manager said, “Noosa Civic Family Practice is very excited to be relocating into the Noosa Civic Medihub. The increased space and modern facilities will allow us to recruit quality General Practitioners which will result in greater access to healthcare for the Noosa community. We are also confident our patients will achieve improved health outcomes thanks to the integrated health care environment that the Medihub development encourages.“ “We developed Noosa Civic 17 years ago and the Medihub is the first development since 2006. We are continuing to work with Council and the community to deliver on the Noosa Shire Council’s vision to broaden the economic base.

“We enjoy continued support from the local community and enthusiasm from businesses such as Icon to join us which has given us the confidence to move ahead with our plans.

“We recently completed subdivision works for the Business Centre delivering roads and infrastructure and creating opportunities in areas of commercial, residential, medical and health, start-ups, entertainment, and leisure.“ Stockwell Design and Construction has been appointed as builder with works set to commence in March 2023.

PICK OF THE WEEK

Brimming with wholesome wit, not to mention a decidedly photogenic troop of animals, it’s delightfully easy to surrender to the charms of this British drama. The lush, rolling hillsides and the leisurely trickle of quaint cases for vet James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph, pictured) to solve promise to induce a sleepy, warm-hearted stupor. There are no racing pulses here, only coos of delight and the occasional warm tear drop. In tonight’s season two finale, when James’ parents come to visit, he makes a big decision about his future.

HOME AND AWAY Seven, Monday, 7pm

It’s a time-honoured tradition for Home And Away’s season finale to lay on thick stories of disaster, tragedy and heartbreak. Car crashes, fires and terrible accidents have all featured heavily in past season-ending cliffhangers, and it’s commonplace to witness a wedding day go terribly, horribly awry. For viewers who are hooked on this macabre tradition, they are in luck for the season 35 finale tonight. Felicity’s (Jacqui Purvis) car trip to meet Tane (Ethan Browne) at the altar is unexpectedly and catastrophically interrupted, while Bree’s (Juliet Godwin) menacing husband Jacob (Alex Williams) is back in the Bay, but is he responsible for gagging her and leaving her bound up and unconscious?

HUNGRY 10, Saturday, 6.30pm

After a hiatus from TV and the world of restaurants following the collapse of his dining empire and the end of his more than decade-long stint as a revered judge on MasterChef Australia, George Calombaris returns with this personal ode to his heritage. The fiery and passionate chef promises to show a more mellow and intimate side of himself as he embarks on a delicious journey back to his roots. Calombaris is joined by a familiar face to MasterChef junkies, with 2014 and 2022 alum Sarah Todd (pictured with Calombaris) co-presenting this food lovers’ extravaganza.

UKRAINE: LIFE UNDER ATTACK SBS, Tuesday, 9.40pm

Wedding day drama: Tane (Ethan Browne) waits nervously at the altar for bride Felicity (Jacqui Purvis, inset).

Displaced families, civilians and first responders tell their stories in this penetrating American doco, which hands the spotlight to Ukrainians fighting to survive amid Russia’s invasion. This heart-wrenching exposé of the everyday realities of war is narrated by Aussie Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett, and was filmed on the ground over the first three months of the war in Kharkiv. It’s a story of resilience in the face of adversity; the world thought the city would fall in days, but the people of Ukraine didn’t surrender. From families battling to survive, to first responders risking their lives, it’s an unflinching revelation.

Koala on road to recovery The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital is currently in Trauma Season, receiving an influx of sick, injured and orphaned native animals for lifesaving treatment and care, treating more than 200 patients a week.

The busiest and most confronting time of the year, Trauma Season begins as weather heats up in Australia and wildlife is on the move, with patient admissions almost tripled.

Animals are on the lookout for water or a mate, and young ones are beginning to explore, leading to the crossing of busy roads either on foot or overhead. Often, this is a challenging and dangerous time for wildlife in our increasingly man-made world.

Donald is a koala who was found near a fuel station in Doonan after being hit by a car.

He suffered from severe face and neurological trauma, and a fracture to his left foot causing him to limp while attempting to walk or climb.

Wildlife conservationist Terri Irwin said, “The primary causes of koala admittance at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital are vehicle strikes, along with disease and domestic pet attacks. Since the start of Trauma Season, we’ve received 146 koalas in just six weeks, which is a grim reality of how tough these beautiful animals have it in the wild.“ “Our Wildlife Hospital is playing a pivotal role in koala conservation to protect animals like Donald. The incredible veterinary team goes above and beyond to rehabilitate each animal, no matter how big or small, with the goal of releasing them back in the wild where they belong,“ Terri said.

RACQ principal technical researcher Andrew Kirk said RACQ received 11,134 insurance claims for vehicle collisions with animals in the past three years.

“We tend to see an uptick in car and animal collisions during spring breeding season when animals are on the move,” Mr Kirk said.

The Wildlife Hospital’s new ICU Unit.

The Wildlife Hospital’s new ICU Unit.

“Wildlife can be highly unpredictable, especially when caught in headlights, exposed to loud noises like horns or confused by fastmoving vehicles.

“Colliding with an animal can cause significant damage to your vehicle and not only harm or kill the animal, but potentially put you and your passengers at risk of being injured in the crash.

“Drivers should be extra vigilant, particularly around dusk and dawn when animals are more likely to be active. If you can’t avoid driving at these times, make sure you always stick to the speed limit, use high beam headlights where appropriate and never to swerve to avoid hitting an animal.

“Erratic manoeuvres can put you at greater risk of causing a collision with another vehicle or roadside obstacle. If it’s safe, try to brake or pull over, and call for help if you have struck an animal.”

Donald the koala is being treated with pain relief and fluids at the Wildlife Hospital to help

improve his health. He underwent surgery on his foot to treat the injuries associated with his fracture, and is receiving specialised treatment for head trauma.

Donald is also receiving specialised treatment in the state-of-the-art hyperbaric chamber, situated in the Wildlife Hospital’s new ICU Unit, the Perry MacFarlane Intensive Care Ward. Donated by the Hyperbaric Veterinary Medicine (HVM), the hyperbaric chamber is used to increase the speed of healing by increasing global tissue oxygenation in the patient.

“Donald has had four sessions in the hyperbaric chamber so far, and has improved wonderfully since, especially with his head trauma.

When he first arrived, he was unable to climb a tree, but that changed after his first session as Donald climbed up the tree to eat his eucalyptus leaves.

“We are hopeful that this sweet boy recovers and can return back to his natural habitat,“ Terri said.

Koalas are now classed as endangered across Queensland, NSW and the Australian Capital Territory. The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital has treated over 10,000 koalas since opening its doors in 2004, giving these iconic animals a second chance to survive in the wild.

The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and treats thousands of sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife, having treated over 115,000 animals since opening its doors.

This Trauma Season, it is encouraged to slow down on the roads at dawn and dusk, to secure your pets safely at night, and to contact your local rescue group to help an animal in need.

To support the efforts of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital this Trauma Season, visit wildlifewarriors.org.au RACQ supports the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital by providing the two animal ambulance vehicles for their Rescue Unit, and covering associated costs like maintenance, registration and insurance.

Sunset over Rosecliffe.

Hilltop hideaway harmony

By Phil Jarratt If I have a complaint about Rosecliffe Boutique Farm Cottages it is this: no one warned me about Ewart’s Road!

OK, I’m old and I ride an e-bike with a heavy battery attached to it, but I thought the only street in Noosa Shire that could stop me was Bayview Road, above Little Cove.

And then I discovered Ewart’s, which rises ridiculously steeply from the beautiful Pinbarren Valley for 2.5 kilometres before depositing one at the gates of Rosecliffe at an elevation of 300 metres. And I had to push a bike the whole way.

On the other hand, pausing to catch my breath on several occasions, I turned around and marvelled at the view, a panorama of lush green slopes punctuated by the occasional volcanic plug.

It doesn’t get much better.

And then, following instructions in the absence of my hosts, Nadia and Paul Bellerby, I parked my bike outside the restored Melbourne tram that would be my home for the night, found a bottle of good bubbly generously left in the fridge, stripped to my boardies and sat in the cooling water of the infinity pool and drank it while I took in the view from Double Island Point to Noosa Head, turning golden in the late light.

A three-times finalist in the accommodation category of the Sunshine Coast Business Awards, Rosecliffe Cottages this month took out the coveted Land award at the Noosa Biosphere awards gala for following “a key tenet of regenerative farming - working in harmony with the environment”.

Says Nadia: “In our submission to the awards I focused on humans living with nature, how we’ve put up signage for the Noosa Trails Network and now we’re identifying plants along it, giving some history about them.”

There is much to discover and learn right across Rosecliffe’s 37.6 hectares of wildlife sanctuary and conservation preserve, but at its heart is a charming small farm, using regenerative practices, lush paddocks that are home to a small herd of Belted Galloway Cattle (“Our pandas”, says Nadia) plus horses, alpacas, a llama, miniature ponies and chickens.

It’s the perfect kid-friendly hilltop farmstay, with a beautiful relocated kauri wood homestead, and fabulously eccentric guest accommodations tucked behind screens of trees nearby.

Everything up here has a fascinating story behind it, so let’s start with the owners.

US-born and educated, Nadia came to Queensland in the 1980s to work with the Pacific Whale Foundation, researching the southern migration from a base on Stradbroke Island, which led to seven years focusing on humpbacks for Queensland Parks and Wildlife and the University of Queensland, working on pilot studies at Hervey Bay. Frequently travelling between Brisbane and the Fraser Coast with two young kids, while her then-husband completed a PhD, she stumbled upon Rosecliffe, then just pasture with no dividing fences or road access.

The tram is here! 2020.

Paul and Nadia at Rosecliffe.

She recalls: “I was just 22, I must have been nuts, but I thought, I can do this!”

By the time Nadia found the kauri cottage at Northgate in Brisbane and worked out how to relocate it, her marriage was over.

On the positive side, the rough access track she’d put in had been upgraded, although not gravelled, but it was enough to enable a bulldozer to haul a prime mover up the mountain carrying half a house each time.

In 1994, when she met musician Paul Bellerby, who was working the resort circuit between the Whitsundays and the Gold Coast, Nadia’s mother had come to stay, so one of his first missions was to buy an unwanted schoolroom at Yandina, bring it up the hill and create a guest accommodation now known as Tree Tops.

Paul fell in love with the property, as well as its owner, and together they stripped back old wood, repainted, cut tracks, planted trees and created beautiful gardens.

Their first venture into farm-stay tourism came about when the Sunshine Coast chapter of Riding For The Disabled came looking for a home.

They stayed for 12 years, with up to 70 riders camping at Rosecliffe for a week at a time.

The road was upgraded again, corrals were put in, new tracks made around the perimeter of the property.

Says Nadia: “Then we invited the Noosa Trail Network through the property, which also helped us create purpose-built tracks for the disabled. We didn’t really have a vision for the

Picture: PJ place as such, it just came together by chance.

The Leyland bus is a good example of that.”

Paul and Nadia were out looking for parts for their old ‘63 Bedford at the truck wreckers when they noticed an old bus in terrible condition parked in a corner of the yard.

It was a 1952 Leyland Tiger, one of only four or five in Australia in one piece, according to Paul.

It was a veteran of the Sydney northern beaches run, and it was off to a new and loving home. It started out as a bunkhouse for woofers (volunteer farm workers), but it is now the beautifully restored Rosecliffe Bus Stop, with an adjoining pavilion with claw foot tub, granite-topped kitchen and large deck with pool and ocean views.

The story of the Melbourne tram is equally oddball.

Says Nadia: “Our son saw an ad for the Melbourne tram, asking for submissions for public and community use.”

Paul: “They were basically giving them away, but the submissions would go to a board and they’d select who got them.”

Nadia: “We got the St Kilda. We had two cranes here to lift it off and Paul arranged a giant tow truck to get it up the hill, but the truck driver was a rock star, just drove it straight up the hill, 17 tonnes of it, so we didn’t need the towie.”

From the tram’s guest compendium: “The Melbourne Tram sleeps one couple. It is an historic W Class Tram number 1004 built in

The Art Deco bath in the tram.

1955 and it ran Melbourne’s iconic Spencer St to St Kilda line until it was retired in 1992.

With the assistance and guidance of Bendigo Tramways and the Newport Workshops, this tram has been lovingly restored and is now fitted out in Art Deco 1st class saloon car style with inlaid Art Deco furniture, and overstuffed Victorian brocade couch, brocade upholstered tub chairs, a mahogany butler’s kitchen and a high-backed claw foot bath. The toilet is a trip to the conductor’s front cabin where the folding driver’s seat and wheel remains.”

It is fabulous. My one-night stay was nowhere near enough, I needed more luxuriating in the tram or exploring the beautiful wilds of Rosecliffe.

Housing for women in need “Single women over the age of 55 are the fastest growing demographic affected by homelessness in Australia. They have longer life expectancy, but on average have accumulated lesser levels of wealth.”

Better Together Housing “Family and domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children.”

-Equity Economics, Nowhere to Go Noosa Council just approved its Housing Strategy – Keep Noosa Home.

But does the strategy do enough to address the housing issues faced by vulnerable women?

According to the 2021 census, 12,947 women in Noosa Shire are over 55 – that is 45 per cent of females. This older demographic is forecast to increase over the next 20 years.

Meanwhile in its report Partnering for Impact, the Queensland Department of Housing and Public Works revealed that the number of Queensland women over the age of 55 seeking homelessness assistance increased by 21 per cent between 2011 and 2017. And since then the issue has been exacerbated with the Covid pandemic seeing house prices and rentals soar.

For these reasons, it was heartening that in December 2020, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart succeeded in getting unanimous councillor support for addressing affordable housing.

Leigh McCready, president of the Tewantin Noosa CWA branch, has 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.”

Tewantin Noosa CWA branch made a submission to Noosa Council’s draft Housing Strategy, emphasising the need for safe and secure housing for women, particularly those who are victims of domestic violence and older single women who are bereft of savings and superannuation.

So does Council’s new Housing Strategy address the housing needs of vulnerable women?

Of the 80 written submissions received by Council during its public consultation, 15.2 per cent urged housing support for older women and another 15.2 per cent flagged the need for housing for vulnerable groups/people in crisis.

But the 69-page consultancy report on the community’s feedback made scant reference to these issues - only one statement: “Those most in need of social and affordable housing in Noosa Shire were identified as being key workers, older women and vulnerable groups, or people in crisis receiving equal support (sic).”

CWA Tewantin Noosa vice-president Ingrid Jackson and president Leigh McCready As the Housing Strategy was prepared by Noosa Council’s town planning team, it is not surprising that it is mainly concerned with how town planning can facilitate more affordable housing in the Noosa Plan. Of its 48 recommended actions, 42 are about town planning or advocating about town planning policies, vis-à-vis other levels of government.

The Strategy does acknowledge that domestic violence victims have unmet housing needs, but older women ageing into poverty and homelessness get no mention.

Also, while Council’s Housing Stakeholder Reference Group includes homelessness support services and community housing providers, it has no representatives from Noosa women’s associations.

The Tewantin Noosa CWA branch asked to join the group to ensure women were appropriately advocated for but were advised that women were adequately represented by other agencies.

It is gratifying to find a number of Housing Strategy’s actions are relevant to addressing vulnerable women’s needs: A monitoring program to track supply of social housing, affordable housing, small dwellings, and accessible housing.

Investigate Council-owned land for desperately needed and currently lacking housing such as social housing, affordable housing, or crisis accommodation.

· ·

the community sector to review their · Support land holdings for potential community housing or transitional/crisis accommodation. community initiatives to provide · Support crisis accommodation and night shelter in existing buildings. programs to encourage more effi· Develop cient use of existing housing stock through sharing houses and encouraging secondary dwellings.

Continue to work with the housing, homelessness and community service providers on wrap-around services for people at risk of homelessness.

Review where relocatable home parks could be allowed, including tiny homes on state, council or community owned lands.

As the Housing Strategy is basically a town planning strategy, it does not consider whether council might provide or subsidise housing for the vulnerable. Nor has there been much mention of the crucial work of council’s dedicated community development team.

Council community development work is to be applauded and includes regular community roundtable meetings for social services providers and a social service hub at Tait-Duke Cottage, which brings together a number of not-for-profit organisations fortnightly with services for people facing hardship.

Also in February 2022, Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with

·

·

community and affordable housing provider, Coast2Bay Housing Group, to collaborate and explore opportunities for social housing on council-owned land. This is included in the Housing Strategy.

Tewantin Noosa CWA vice president Ingrid Jackson stressed: ”The housing issues faced by vulnerable women have many layers.

“There are particular factors that push women into poverty including education inequity, the gender pay gap, pauses in paid work and careers to care for family, and inadvertent outcomes of government programs.”

“Whenever federal, state and local governments make policy decisions, we encourage them to consider the impacts on women.”

Noosa Council’s Housing Strategy has addressed strategic matters within council’s ambit, in particular, recommending changes to the planning scheme to facilitate affordable housing, and advocacy about federal and state government policies and programs.

But what needs further focus is the immediate need of low income or no income women to find somewhere safe to live, attainable rents, and preventing women falling into poverty and homelessness in the first place.

As an organisation with over 100 years of experience in supporting women and families, the Queensland Country Women’s Association stands ready to offer Noosa Council assistance at any point to advise on improving the housing options for Noosa women.

Strategy not improving housing The report on the Noosa Council Housing Strategy (NT, 11 Nov) should have been qualified as false hope. While I am sure that the councillors’ efforts are well intended, the proposed actions will not lead to any substantial improvement. The causes of the shortages are well known, and the solutions obvious, but not addressed in this superficial approach.

Noosa has two intractable problems, the other being congestion. Any gains achieved will be offset by its impacts. It is unfortunate that council has chosen to abandon its commitment to the 20 year struggle to retain the population cap, and transferring the problems to the hinterland is a poor substitute for addressing the root causes.

John Clark, Cooroy

LENSCAPE

A different solution needed Noosa Today (18/11) revealed that Noosa Council has doubly disappointed ratepayers.

Not only have they increased the number of STAs in the shire, they have also proposed to increase the height limit of residential properties, using affordable housing as an excuse for the thin edge of the Goldcoastification edge.

Neither action is acceptable. People here are wanting a different solution to the problem of providing affordable housing: a dramatic reduction in the number of STAs in the shire, so that those people surrounded by party houses can once again have a peaceful existence, and permanent neighbours, while the number of rental houses in the shire would be greatly increased.

One of the great attractions of Noosa Shire is its low rise buildings, and while affordable housing is the excuse for this thin edge of the wedge accommodation of developer demands, it will set a precedent for all other developments - if not now, in the foreseeable future.

If newly-built accomodation is in private hands there is no way of guaranteeing that the cost of this housing will stay low. We know from past experience that what developers agree to, and what they actually do, can be two very different things.

Action not excuses The Short-Term Accommodation (STA) monitoring report provides damning evidence of council’s inadequate action on the exponential increase of STA, detailing significant damage to the community during this council’s term of office. Rather than lead, this council has been entirely content to allow the STA market to dictate outcomes and deleteriously change Noosa. Council is entirely responsible for prioritising STA growth and tourism over residential and local business welfare during its term of office. The detrimental effects of unsustainable STA growth were well documented and recognised by the time this council took office.

Claims of “not my fault” or “we got it wrong but there’s nothing we can do” simply do not wash.

Council cannot evade responsibility for the damning outcomes of its governance by attempting to claim it has no control over existing use rights or superseded planning scheme approvals.

Council has discretionary powers to sever, limit or deny existing use rights and superseded planning scheme approvals in the interests

of the community. It simply lacks the will to do so. I suggest Mayor Stewart re-read the superseded Planning Scheme section of Council’s Short-Stay Accommodation Guide, and the Local Law and its supporting Public Interest Test Plan, all of which refer to council’s powers of discretion. There is a conflict between the documents and council’s recent public statements. They are diametrically opposed.

So which is correct? The documents or current public statements? What does council propose to do to resolve the discrepancy?

If Mayor Stewart doubts her powers I suggest she go back to the state and clarify them, as I have done. I am sure Mayor Stewart will be advised, as I have been, that council not only has the power to exercise discretion and act in the interests of the local community, it is obliged to.

If council continues to refuse to use it powers, amendments to the Noosa Plan will only result in another explosion of STA as it did in Low Density Residential zones, documented in the monitoring report. It’s a neat trick. Claim to be acting to reduce STA when you are aware that action will exponentially increase STA.

Time to acknowledge the problem. Time to accept responsibility. Time for leadership.

Time to cease hiding behind excuses. Time for action that will result in reducing STA, not increase them.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Act now for sustainability Similar to an adjournment debate speech or other limited allocated speeches in Parliament, I use every opportunity to raise aspects of our world that impact upon every single person in our community, as well as across Queensland and Australia.

The aspect this month is the buzzword sustainability which is used in every government document, policy and strategy to the point where it may have become white noise. The underpinning contributors to unsustainability are rarely spoken about, with speeches rarely watched, as they do not attract headlines that the symptoms of inefficiencies promote such as ambulance ramping or homelessness.

What is it to sustain? Wikipedia says to ‘strengthen and support physically and mentally’.

Sustainability? Described as ‘the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level’.

Whether we are talking our environment, economy, or our household, sustaining is multi-faceted, and includes affordability. What use is a sustainable product, or endeavour, if you cannot afford to use it, or for governments to implement it?

There are many examples in our legislation, policies and strategies where we are not thinking with sustaining in mind, and I will share just a couple in among the hundreds For two years we have been advocating for passive wastewater systems, which are economical and have been proven successful across Australia and internationally. These units are used where there is no connection to town sewage infrastructure, and where it is environmentally not suitable for the use of other systems such as septics.

However, the proposed new Australian Standard for on-site sewage treatment, being made mandatory under Queensland’s Plumbing and Drainage Act, will implement a minimum eight-person capacity for an onsite domestic wastewater treatment system.

This, in an era where households are growing smaller, with an Australian average now 2.6 persons, and the demand for granny flats and tiny homes growing due to our housing crisis.

This will mean, one-bedroom households that are required to install these treatment systems will need to use larger units with bigger holes dug, causing construction, maintenance, and electricity to be more expensive, when these sizes are not actually needed.

Affordability is a part of sustainability and in this case, we are making sustainability unaffordable. Makes no sense, does it?

And then there are Environmental Upgrade Agreements, or as we call them EUAs, which we have been seeking since 2019 for both commercial and residential buildings as they are an affordable way to install solar panels and create less emissions. EUAs are an innovative financing arrangement, where a building owner borrows money from a financier, which can include local governments, and makes the repayments through the council rates system.

It is voluntary, with long payback times which can be passed along when the building is sold rather than the finance having to be wound up.

This is sensible if we want to transition faster to renewables. The State Government has just announced in the Energy and Jobs Plan they will be implemented, however, only for commercial premises, whereas in Victoria they have upgraded the legislation for EUAs to include residential dwellings.

In our electorate, by far the larger number of buildings are residential. EUAs will make a difference to our businesses, and our emissions, however, with half of our homes without solar panels, residentials should be included.

It sometimes seems that while we take two steps forward with some policies, we take one step back with others. Overreach is not the answer with wastewater standards, nor is underreach with EUAs. And then we get to the tangled, unsustainable web that is our public service. The recent Coaldrake and Auditor General reports highlighted what has already been known re-

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton garding the issues affecting the public service sector. Do not get me wrong here, we have incredible people who do a phenomenal job in increasingly difficult times, where expectations, often unrealistic, are higher than at any time in history. This combined with increasing legislation, boxes to tick and risks to manage, results in greater workload and stress, with less dollars for essential on the ground support, whether it be housing, child welfare or health services.

It is vital that this, as I requested in a recent speech in Parliament, is not relegated to the ‘chamber scream’. Instead, we must strive for a collaborative agreement that moves beyond election cycles on how government departments, agencies and statutory bodies can make the improvements required, and retain them.

To be sustainable, governments must identify emerging issues and respond in a timely manner to community concerns before they lead to even bigger issues, become headlines, or sadly may lead to fatalities.

Local examples include efforts to address the volume of visitors to the Teewah North Shore in the Great Sandy National Park which has been unsustainable for years, with recommendations in 2019 from the Cooloola Teewah Working Group still unrealised which would have gone a long way to addressing issues.

With an upcoming meeting to look at the outcomes from the Visitor Capacity Study, may any actions that emanate be implemented promptly after community consultation.

Add in the wait for needed integrated IT systems between Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and Queensland Police Service as part of effective management of dangerous behaviours, and outstanding overarching strategies such as the Cooloola Recreational Area and Great Sandy National Park Management Plan which are outdated, one by decades, we live daily the ramifications of delays and inaction.

Another is under-utilised social housing, yet nothing was done to provide our agencies with adequate numbers of one-bedroom units or share homes, so badly needed to free up family-sized homes, which would have lessened the impacts of our housing crisis, as well alleviated public service staff duress.

When I first became an MP I outlined the costs to everyday Queenslanders, to our public sector workers, communities, businesses, and our future when governments are slow to act.

Waiting until an issue is front page news is expensive, reactive, stressful and unsustainable.

The question is, what mechanism exists to ensure that information from the front-line staff of agencies turns into action? And what

are the barriers? Is it a lack of funds, culture, monitoring, independent assessments, or political will?

And who is ultimately responsible for ensuring efficient action, with the needed foresight, risk management and innovation as part of an effective and sustainable Queensland public service?

With the Public Service Commission responsible for building a highly capable and responsive public sector workforce, this logically is a starting point.

Ultimately every Noosa electorate resident, and Queenslander, is a stakeholder in creating sustainably. May the government response to the Audit Office deliver answers and create a public service and system that rewards the efforts from public sector workers and all Queenslanders to resolve issues before they become a crisis.

As much as I loathe to suggest a full analysis, I am unsure how else we can move beyond what has and is being experienced. Whichever way is undertaken, it must be supported by all, and not used in the blame game of politicking, as that gets us nowhere.

Until next month where happily I get to do a celebration of our community in true Christmas spirit, enjoy our beautiful home and all within, as well those holiday preparations!

Hot new single is coming

By Abbey Cannan Fresh from their European tour, Sunshine Coast acoustic indie-folk duo The Dreggs are set to release a hot new single on Friday 25 November.

Running on just three hours sleep after two sold-out gigs in Western Australia, Zane Harris and Paddy Macrae spoke with Noosa Today about their latest track Madeleine, when they’ll be playing in Noosa again, and how they can help you win a Thomas Surfboard.

“If you feel like listening to a song that you can scream on the way to work in the car, and that will hit you in the feelings, then this is the track for you,“ Paddy said of the single they named their new tour after.

“It’s an introduction into a newer scope of music that we’re edging into. We’re trying to experiment with different sounds and a slightly gospel approach.“ It was a quick and natural process writing and recording Madeleine, and the boys were eager to play it to crowds.

“Zane suggested we play it for the tour prior to Europe, so within a week we started playing it, and it got a really cool reception from the crowd,“ Paddy said.

“We sometimes play songs to the crowd before releasing them just to get a feel, and it was a really good feeling from this song.

“We’re super excited to release it to every streaming service on Friday.“ They might also be excited to inspire requests to play their latest track instead of the first song they ever wrote, Give Myself To You, which now has more than 11 million streams on Spotify.

“We’re pretty done with playing Give Myself To You, but I think we’ll have to keep it on our set list otherwise people will kill us,“ Zane joked.

“I think the song which is the most fun to play in our set at the moment is Madeleine because it’s new and exciting.“ With live music back with a vengeance in

Popular Sunshine Coast duo The Dreggs, Paddy Macrae and Zane Harris.

The Dreggs will be back on the road in support of their latest single.

The local boys have spent the year playing massive shows across the country.

2022, The Dreggs have spent the year playing some of their biggest shows across the country, including Splendour and the Tivoli, before packing their guitars onto a 22 hour flight to Europe.

“It was something that we never expected was going to happen,“ Paddy said.

“The planning was pretty stressful. It’s a bit of a stab in the dark as you don’t know what to expect at venues on the other side of the world.

It was daunting but equally exciting.“

Zane said they were stoked with how the gigs turned out.

“I think Amsterdam or London were our favourite shows over there. We had three weeks at the end where we had free time, so we got to check everything out.“ The Dreggs will be back on the road in support of their latest single, playing at Miami Marketta on the Gold Coast on 27 November, followed by Sydney on 3 December and Melbourne on 4 December.

“We’re constantly looking at the next thing but it’s good to stop and smell the roses every now and again,“ Zane said.

Noosa fans will be happy to hear the duo will soon be back in town to entertain the locals by the beach.

“It’s not announced yet, but we might be headlining a show in Noosa very soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for that,“ Zane said.

“We’re also giving away a Thomas Surfboard. Go to our Instagram and click on the link in the bio to enter before 30 November.“ To enter the summer giveaway competition visit thedreggs.lnk.to/SummerPackageCompetition Keep up to date with The Dreggs on Instagram at instagram.com/thedreggsmusic

Parkbench Ukulele unites players for fun and friendship The Parkbench Ukulele Players began eight years ago with a few ukulele beginners getting together to play and sing in Tewantin Park, before they were invited to play at Noosa Marina Wine Bar. Now 80 players turn up each Monday. The players have an all-weather venue and in return liven up the beautiful location.

Terry Nolan leads the group of all ages with everyone playing and singing along.

It is now amplified with the addition of a bass guitarist and accordian player, performing from 10.30am to noon, bringing business and fun to the Marina for locals and tourists, some arriving by ferry from Hasting street.

Line dancers and Sunshine Butterflies regularly attend, enjoying singing and danc-

ing to the music.

To make it easier for beginners to join in, Terry has set up a Facebook page for the ukers and a digital songbook.

As a consequence, quite a few players have learnt to become digital for the first time and interstate and international visitors on holidays return year on year to join in.

The ukulele players’ fee is $2 and proceeds go towards musical equipment, a Christmas party, and worthy causes.

The group is often invited to entertain at fundraising, social and council events.

Another bonus is the many great friendships that have formed within the group which has become a welcoming fun activity for many in the Noosa community.

The Qantas connection A Noosaville woman’s family connection to the birth of Qantas has been included in best-selling author Grantlee Kieza’s latest book.

The book, Hudson Fysh, tells the story of the best known of the founders of Qantas, a Tasmanian World War I hero who would go on to lead the national airline for nearly half a century. And it mentions Lis Thomson’s grandfather, John, who was an initial financial backer and director of the airline.

Fysh and Paul McGinness had fought at Gallipoli, then joined the Air Force, engaging in dogfights with Germans in the Middle East campaign. As McGinness’s gunner, Fysh was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Three years after the war, Fysh and McGinness, with the support of some graziers in western Queensland and the Northern Territory, launched their little bush company, the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services, QANTAS. They hoped to interest people living in remote areas to use aviation to overcome the tyranny of distance. But they needed capital, and one of the graziers came to the rescue.

Fergus McMaster put up 1000 pounds, but more was needed, so he called on wealthy friends in Brisbane seeking loans.

One of these was John Thomson, who owned a bookshop in Queen Street and had fought alongside McMaster in France. Two days before the Armistice, Thomson had been shot in the legs.

When McMaster asked, Thomson told his old war buddy he was happy to put up “a cool 100 pounds”.

Qantas was incorporated in 1920 and John Thomson was a member at the board’s first meeting in Winton in February 1921.

Lis Thomson’s family has understandably held great regard for Qantas over the years, always travelling with the airline. Earlier this year Lis flew Qantas to Europe for the umpteenth time.

Author Grantlee Kieza met Lis in Noosaville recently and presented her with a signed advanced copy of Hudson Fysh.

“It was a pleasure to meet Lis and see her affection for Qantas,” he said.

“The story of Hudson Fysh and his airline is one of the great stories in Australian history - the story of a World War 1 hero who started a little bush airline with two rickety biplanes and was still running it when Qantas ordered its first jumbo jets.“ But Grantlee learnt something from the Thomson family that his meticulous research had not uncovered.

“When [then Qantas chairman] Fergus McMaster came to give my grandfather his money back, my grandmother told him to keep it,” Lis told him.

Hudson Fysh, published by ABC Books, is available at The River Read in Noosaville and Annie’s Books at Peregian Beach.

LIVE NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Neo exhibition launches Directors of The Gallery Eumundi, Karen and Steve Beardsley, recently welcomed excited contemporary art lovers to the gallery on the opening night of the new group show Neo Non-objective.

Collaboratively curated with Studio 26, showcasing minimalistic non-objective reductive, abstraction works by four talented and innovative local artists, Jaime Kiss, Petalia Humphreys, Michael Ciavarella and June Sartracom.

Guest speaker, Dr Kellie O’Dempsey, renowned educator, visual artist and installation aficionado, officially opened the show with eloquent and considered reviews of the works.

Each artist’s work was meticulously observed by Dr O’Dempsey.

“Michael’s work reveals his construction experience as a tradie, displaying beautifully finished semiotic objects paired with subtle conversations of colour and tone creating what could be described as a language of cyphers,“ she said.

“We are blessed to be witness to Petalia’s ongoing debate with the reordering of architectural space. Creating both formalist and playful illusions, her work both challenges and seduces us with clean angles in delicious rich hues of pinks, blacks and the occasional deep blue.

“In a homage to modernist Italian design, Jaime’s considered kinetic constructions are a conversation or a performance of the monochromatic that invites us, the audience, into a sensual and an experiential visual encounter.

“As does the quietly sophisticated works of June Sartracom. This work metamorphizes the flat into the sensitive, presenting the canvas as sculptural relief. When engaging with June’s work in a sea of white we are left with a state of calm considering the unique mathematical puzzle she has offered us.“ The audience was swept along by the prose complimenting the stunning, geometrical, monochromatic forms.

The works of these four artists sit perfectly

What a night of education and thoughtprovoking journeys of the history and presence of non-objective abstraction.

Slow Food Noosa delegates to world conference share their experiences at dinner and movie night.

ERLE LEVEY was there to capture the flavour.

Bringing home the good Slow food just doesn’t taste good, it is good for you.

Fresh food is the pathway to good health.

Grown and presented in a good, clean and fair way, it is not just for you but for community.

It benefits the consumer, those who grow it, and the planet.

This is particularly so when you realise the benefits of the way money circulates through a local economy, and the impact of low food miles in the growing and distribution of produce.

A Slow Food Noosa movie and dinner evening at Pomona’s historic Majestic Theatre on Friday highlighted the benefits of local food in sustaining a community.

The movie, Haute Cuisine, was accompanied by almost exclusively locally-grown produce catered for by Black Ant Gourmet of Kin Kin. Slow Food Noosa president Jason Lewis welcomed guests to the French-themed evening and highlighted the fact that the people involved in putting on the event were those who Slow Food Noosa sponsored to attend attend the Terra Madre food festival in Turin, Italy, in September-October.

The festival, which brings delegates and food lovers together from more than 150 countries, highlights produce not just from the different regions of Italy but from around the world.

Noosa had the strongest representation from throughout Australia and what the delegates have brought back is the enthusiasm for such events, new ideas about the food industry, and how they can contribute through their commitment to Slow Food Noosa.

The knowledge that they gained also brought about the realisation of the strength of the food industry in the Noosa, Cooloola, Mary Valley and Gympie regions, along with the Maleny, Montville, Mapleton areas.

It highlighted the fact that we can hold our heads high in regard to quality and innovation as well as diversity of product.

What the Italians showed was the passion they hold for food, built up over many generations - its production and presentation. As well as the respect in which they hold farmers and producers.

As one of only two Australian media delegates to the conference, for me it highlighted the inspiration needed for good food, the benefits of local produce … the value of sincerity rather than frivolous and decorative, especially when it comes to the presentation of food.

Mushroom grower Scott Andrews of Tagigan Road Produce at Goomboorian, said the region could hold its own on the world stage in regard to food and needed to stand behind that growing reputation.

“We do amazing food,’’ he said. “There are so many good restaurants, which is something you don’t necessarily see when you go abroad.

“The Italians though are so passionate and proud about what they do. And they do it very well.

“Food diversity has not been as prominent as our efforts and has not had as great an im-

“They are old cities that have always done it that way ... traditional ways.

“They do things really well.

“Yet we do amazingly, while not focussing or concentrating on certain things … we tend to go for a broader range or style of dishes.

“We do not compete all on that one style.

“In Turin their market is traditional Italian food. It is not a tourist city at all, so why branch out when it’s not their market.

“They’re not concerned about what other people think.

Bringing home the good From page 51 “I’m not worried about generating 10 or 20 percent more sales for that week. My quality is so high.

Swapping notes with some of best mushroom growers and chefs in Italy, Scott regarded we were as good as any.

“The mushroom world in Italy is a little bit different to here, as it is a natural mushroom environment.

“They are foraged for rather than grown in a farmed environment.

“It’s different in that context, but to show pictures and exchange words and ideas on what I grow, they were like ’Wo!’ “That opens their eyes to a different world of what’s possible when you don’t have those perfect growing conditions like they do.

“To see what’s possible.’’

Jodie Williams at Black Ant Gourmet has been cooking in Noosa since the age of 13.

Having learned through some of Noosa’s best chefs, including famous French chefs, she went on to create her own catering business.

Then in 2013 Jodie renovated the old Kin Kin General Store and created Black Ant Gourmet, stocking mainly locally grown produce.

Having started growing everything from chickens and ducks to pork, lamb and beef, she still has beef and does the greens, the garnishes and fruits in the subtropical garden.

For the menu on Friday night Jodie chose eggs and livers by Bunya Grove at Amamoor; beef and mushrooms by Eastwell Farms at Kin Kin; chicken by Forage Farms at Kybong; local greens and yams by PermEco, and lemons, herbs and garnish grown at Black Ant. In organising the movie and dinner evening Andy Coates and Nicola Cleaver of Amrita Park Meadery at Pomona said planning started before the Italy trip.

“We were looking at different events to hold for Slow Food Noosa and I knew about the Majestic,’’ Andy said.

“We have been to a couple of events here and it was a no-brainer.

“In the hinterland a great number of businesses have earned the right to a Snail of Approval for clean, green and sustainable produce.

“This was something not Noosa based so much but in the hinterland.

“We wanted to keep everything fair for everybody.

“Slow Food is reminding people of that sense of community.

Jodie Williams, centre, of Black Ant Gourmet with Andy Coates and Nicola Cleaver of Slow Food Noosa. 309062 “Most are wanting to do the right thing.

“This is good for you at all levels ... it’s an awareness of things that can be produced in your community and you may not have been aware of.

“You may only look at what’s on a menu instead of choosing a menu that’s seasonal ... what’s available in the area.

“It always tastes good if it’s in season.’’

Di Seels, who encourages nature in the classroom at schools in the Noosa and hinterland areas, said the main lesson gained from Turin was the need to be respectful, kind and caring ... to be grateful.

Italy showed the collective power of the family. The connectivity.

“The ability to slow down, slow eating, slow travel and the enjoyment that comes with it.

“It’s not just the siesta they enjoy, it’s the connection ... the whole package.’’

Di said poor food choices could lead to a decline in childrens’ behaviour and well-being.

Slow Food is about promoting something that is not just in your 9-5 working day.

It makes you aware of something bigger, and the outcomes are so massive “It goes back to childhood,’’ Di said. “To family dinners, laughter, and happiness.

“To making sourdough from scratch.

“In Italy this is a generational thing with

recipes handed down.’’

University of Sunshine Coast associate business lecturer Melissa Innes, who presented at Turin on the benefits of forward vision and shared knowledge, said there was no question about why the Slow Food movement originated in Italy.

“It makes total sense. A country where people truly understand the value of quality food, company and what the land can produce when carefully managed over centuries.

“Take time to talk to any local Italian working in hospitality and you’ll discover the ingrained culture of passion for food, and life in general.

“In fact, the Italians have a way of making you feel like they’re not working at all.

“Instead, they’re investing time in something they’ve grown to appreciate, savour and love – producing food, serving food and celebrating food. And wine of course.’’

Melissa said that as you travel around the scenic and sometimes ruggedly beautiful country – if you listen carefully, you will hear centuries-old stories of family farming culture.

Stories about farming methods, family commitment, and the ways in which communities and villages have supported, nurtured and respected food production through time.

“That’s why Slow Food – a global organisa-

Pauline and David Whitman of Brisbane. 309062

tion embracing 160 countries – was born in Italy.

“The Italians truly understand the importance of food production, supply, and sustainability in people’s lives.

“Slow Food encourages local, fresh produce, with producers working directly with restaurateurs and other distributors using quality ingredients with farming practices that look after the land and promise a food and farming future for generations to come.’’

The journey to Turin for Terra Madre held some surprises for the Australian delegates and ambassadors.

For Noosa committee member Rod Lees, who has been to three Terra Madre festivals now, it was there that he really got the idea of the depth of it all on such an international scale.

“Turin was where we discovered the Snail of Approval concept.

“That was a significant thing for Noosa and the hinterland.

“Our approach is based on a concept of food that is defined by three interconnected principles: good, clean and fair.

“Good quality, flavoursome and healthy food.

“Clean production that does not harm the environment.

“Fair - accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers.

“If businesses and producers qualify on those counts they are recognised with the Snail of Approval.’’

What impressed Di Seels was the time and the knowledge people would share.

At the final dinner of the Slow Food Noosa delegates in Turin, she said the waiter was incredibly generous of his time.

“That comes from a place in your heart.

“It’s a cultural thing that runs through generations.

“What stood out was the connection we all had at the end as a group.

“It showed there is so much scope for Slow Food here ... Italy is living proof.

“It made me aware of a much bigger picture.

“We need to utilise the experience.’’

Judging by the way the Turin delegates and committee members worked together at Pomona to present a heartfelt experience, we can look forward to some inspiring, passionate and productive Slow Food events in the future.

First Grade opening bowlers, Scott Aufderheide and Tom Stewart who took the first six Maroochydore wickets last Saturday.

Teenager Ethan Slaney scoring his maiden ton, 129 off 82 balls against Nambour last Saturday.

Slaney scores maiden ton

By Randall Woodley Last Saturday the final round of the one day competition for the senior men was played.

Next weekend the two-day (red ball) matches start and will continue through for the rest of the season.

The club teams finished reasonably well in the round, but the highlight was another century by a teenager playing senior cricket.

Ethan Slaney, playing in third grade, scored a great 129 off 82 balls against the Nambour team. With teenagers scoring runs and taking wickets nearly every week in seniors, the future of the club appears to be in good hands.

FIRST GRADE The team was at Read Park to play the last of their 50 over matches against ladder leaders Maroochydore Swans.

Asked to bowl first, the Thunder opening bowlers, the experienced Scot Aufderheide and the exuberant Tom Stewart responded with speed and swing. The wicket had some lift in it early and these two bowlers took advantage of the conditions and soon had the Swan batsmen reeling.

In the second over they were 1-4, then 2-14 after four, 4-19 and by over 15 they had lost nine wickets for only 34 runs. Aufderheide had 3-10, Stewart 3-12 and Ben Laughlin 3-12.

It seemed the Thunder would be chasing less than 50 runs for a win.

Then, as happens often, in the unpredictable game of cricket, the Swan’s numbers nine and No 11 batsmen dug in and resisted for an hour and a half against seven of the Thunder bowlers to add 101 for the last record to finally be all out for 135. Surely a record.

Although there was a considerable air of disappointment in the Thunder sheds at the break, the Swan’s final wicket stand did provide an opportunity for the Thunder batsmen to spend some time at the crease which was needed.

Lewis Waugh, last year’s top scorer had been finding runs hard to come by and opened scoring a very patient 34 before he was run out.

Jake Dennien scored 37 off 89 balls and the prolific Jarrod Officer hit another 50 not out to finish the day with a win for the team.

This was the First Graders 27th win in a row playing at Read Park over the past three seasons. Also, interesting to note that Gympie Gold defeated the star-studded Caboolture team last Saturday.

Next Saturday the team travel to Gympie to play them on day one of their two-day match.

SECOND GRADE Playing Maroochydore on their ground, the seconds fielded one of the youngest Tewantin-Noosa teams seen in this grade, with at

Sam O’Neil and Jack Caspers were welcomed into the side.

Batting first Thunder started well with Max Cooper and Tyrone De Kauwe, but wickets began to fall to the experienced opposition bowlers. At drinks, Thunder was 4-57 but after that, poor batting and three run outs cost the side dearly and they were all out for 74.

Only De Kauwe, Pete Walker and Dan Cooke reached double figures. At Maroochydore you have to pitch up, which the inexperienced Thunder bowlers failed to do, and this allowed them to dictate the scoring and win the match.

THIRD GRADE Playing at home and winning the toss against Nambour, Thunder batted first and hit their first goal of 40 runs after 10 overs but fell just short of the second goal of 80 by drinks.

From there the second highest partnership for the club this season of 184 runs was compiled by Ethan Slaney and Ben Shaw in a near flawless exhibition of strong hitting, deft touches and great running between wickets.

Slaney achieved his maiden century - 129 from 82 balls in a mature and calculated in-

nings. Ben Shaw scored a solid half century in similar fashion.

With 253 on the board and a dejected Nambour at the crease, Thunder set about dismantling them. Nambour showed some resistance, but Thunder stuck to the task every ball and took consistent wickets rolling them for 117.

Top wicket takers were Tadgh Crowley (3), Ben Shaw (2) and Richard Lee (2) This was the team’s best performance this season and this win should place them in the top four for Grade 3. The team is feeling very much like an actual team, all playing for each other.

FIFTH GRADE The team faced Cooroy at their ground in a top of the table clash with the winner securing a spot in the one-day final. The afternoon started well, winning the toss and electing to bat but Thunder lost three early wickets.

Teenagers Rory Ramsden (12*) and Farren Cooke finished well to see the team register a competitive score of 196. Top scorers were Brendan Wright with a courageous 52, Anthony Blackwell 47 and Kent Officer 13.

Cooroy made a solid start to get to 34 before the loss of their first wicket with a great run out from Farren Cooke, who also ended up with two catches for the day.

Ethan Slaney in action.

Cooroy continued to bat well after the drinks break but Thunder also took wickets regularly to slow the run rate and keep in the game.

Unfortunately, the team lacked a bit of their usual strong consistency with their bowling and fielding which Cooroy capitalised on and they passed the required score in the 36th over.

Best bowlers were Kent Officer 2-49, Farren Cooke 1-17 and Jordan Lane 1-8.

Next Saturday the team is at home and will play Coolum in the first day of their match.

SIXTH GRADE The team took on Glasshouse at home needing a win to have a chance at finals. Winning the toss the opposition was sent in and they scored freely, ending on 4 -240.

Thunder started confidently with the bat and quickly started running down the total before Craig Moore fell for 22. Shane Gesell joined veteran Tony Watson and they pushed the score to 119 before Gesell fell for 39. Watson played one of his best innings to date and eventually was out for 70. Wayne Moore again batted well for his 49 and Naveen Chand for his 26, both not out.

The team reached the required target in the 27th over to record a very satisfying win.

Noosa Little Athletics has 28 participants in the Little Athletics Queensland state relay championships.

Great team spirit has been a major factor in the success of Noosa athletes.

Noosa’s Little Aths excel

By Ron Lane At the recent regional relay carnival held at USC, Noosa Little Athletics had 28 athletes qualify for the Little Athletics Queensland state relay championships.

These will be contested on 3 December at the Queensland Sports and Athletic Centre in Brisbane.

According to Noosa’s head coach Mick Hooper, “Our athletes competed against 13 other clubs in our region from Deception Bay to Gympie with the top two in field and the top three in track progressing to the state titles. A major factor in our success has been the great team spirit shown by all athletics and parents, cheering each team on from the U9 to U17.

“There were some outstanding performances by our 4x100 teams. They took first place in the U10 boys and first place in both the U13 and U17 girls. Regarding our training program we will be putting emphases on our baton changes, to get them spot on before we take on the best in the state.”

Last weekend at the Australian All School Championships held in Brisbane a young 12-year-old athlete competing in his first year of track and field turned in a performance that can only be described as outstanding.

Competing in what coach Mick Hooper described as his strongest event the 200 mt sprint, he finished in sixth place in the final. In doing so he ran his personal best in a time of 25.74 sec down from 26.77. For a first-time rookie to make the Australian final, was indeed a great success but to also produce his PB, certainly adds to his effort.

Add to this, representing Queensland, he backed up next day to run a leg in the final of the 4x100m relay, winning the bronze medal.

“Making the final in the 200 mt plus winning a bronze medal in the relay has shown us that this youngster has great potential. Other senior athletes, that we now have winning medals at national titles, did not show this potential at such a young age.”

This weekend is the Queensland Athletic State Relay Titles. This carnival which will be held at the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre, more commonly known as the ANZ Stadium or QE2 Mt Gravatt, will once again have Noosa teams competing.

For this carnival we will be represented by eight senior relay teams and two long jump teams. With the Noosa Athletics club having a good season so far who knows what lays ahead. We wish coach Mick Hooper, his coach54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 November, 2022

Pickleball This relatively new sport with the funny name is certainly on the move in Noosa. Woody Dass, president of Noosa Pickleball has passed on a flyer that keeps one informed.

Pickleball players in Noosa are looking forward to the new two court, covered pickleball facility that is being built as part of the new multi- purpose facility at the Noosa Sports Complex.

The old Sea Cadet building complex that doubled as changing rooms and additional toilets for the cricket and nett ball players has been demolished. Work will begin in January to build a beautiful new facility that promises to benefit a host of local sports clubs.

The new multipurpose facility at Noosa District Sports Complex includes four changing rooms, a kitchen, six unisex toilets, storage space, first aid, umpires’ room, large multipurpose area and two undercover pickleball courts. Construction is expected to be completed by June 2023.

The Noosa Pickleball Club donated the $258,900, Building Better Communities Grant they received, to Noosa Council to help get this project started in 2023. Pickleball is a fun social sport that anyone can play. Interested new p[layers are welcome to attend free introductory sessions. For more information visit noosapickleballclub.com Originating in Bainbridge Island, Washington State USA 1965, pickleball is now considered the fastest growing sport worldwide. Similar to tennis, it is a game that can be played

either in doubles or singles.

The sport came into existence when three friends, Joel Prichard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum did what a lot of dads do to keep their kids happy during the summer months.

They came up with a new idea, something that would keep the kids busy while having fun. And the name they settled on was pickleball There are now 2500 registered players in Australia and another 8000 casuals. Introduced in Australia in 2015, an incorporated association was formed in 2017. Then in 2020 the Pickleball Association of Australia was formed. Now every state and territory in the country is playing the sport.

Such is the growth of the game, that playing groups are now well connected with the rapidly growing pickleball community worldwide.

Men such as Danial Moore of the USA, nine times national champion, professional player, coach and owner of the Pickleball Trips, is doing all he can to promote the game at an international level.

So far, to his credit, he has taken the game to such unexpected countries as Japan, China and Kenya. Now this new sport, that is still playable into our 70s, has established great foundations in Noosa.

Now with the new multipurpose facility on the way and our local club going from strength to strength, who knows what lies ahead.

Noosa Outriggers Colin Jones of the Noosa Outriggers is very happy with last weekends National Sprint Titles held at Kawana Lake, and rightly so.

This was indeed a great showing by the Noosa teams.

Gold medals to our Platinum (70 and above) men and women and a silver to the mixed team. Gold medals to Senior Masters (50 and above) women, and silver to the men’s, followed by a bronze to the mixed team.

The men and women Masters’ teams (40 and above) both scored silvers. In the novice division, the women came home with a gold and the novice mixed the silver. ‘’This was definitely a great result for our club in the lead up to River Regatta which we will host on 3 December,” Jones said.

From the sideline Now into the off season for our local weightlifting club, their work will revolve around technical training. Full on training will recommence end of January. Head coach Woogie Marsh is very happy.

“It has been a great year for our Barbell club and on behalf of our club I would like to take the opportunity to publicly thank our major sponsor Chartists and others. Also thank you to our local council for their ongoing support.”

On Sunday 20 November, members of the Noosa Heads SLSC, gathered to bid a sad farewell to one of their long serving and highly respected members, Tony Wetherell, who passed away during the week.

Tony, affectionally known to his club mates as Old Tony was a solid club man. Not only did he perform his patrol duties, but he also involved himself heavily in the area of competition, not hesitating, as a masters, to represent his club in board ski or swim.

Tony, a devoted family man with wife Kim Chi, children and grandchildren will be sorely missed . Now at age 82, he leaves us all.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

First Point going off, quite a while ago. Found this one while searching through files, photographer unknown. May we see days like these again, soon.

When Bali came of age with 600 of his followers, but just two days later the arrival of another kind of monarch from across the seas proved that this peaceful place had finally reached five-star maturity.”

The sight of Albo and other world leaders lining up in their batik print shirts at the ASEAN summit in Bali last week brought the memories of many such gatherings of politicians in silly shirts flooding back.

Ngurah Rai taken over by US military

Silly shirt parade, Reagans and Suhartos In particular, it brought back memories of Bali’s first big silly shirt fest on the global political stage, back in 1986 when US President Ronald Reagan was doing so badly with his Asian allies that he invited himself to the first ever ASEAN summit in Bali as part of his Wings of Freedom tour to shore up the region.

President Reagan at Bali ASEAN 1986 When I was in Bali a few months ago, ASEAN 22, the island’s first big event since the Covid crisis, had created a flurry of makeover activity, upgrading the airport to Nusa Dua freeway (again) and tarting up shopfronts and hotel lobbies in the upmarket hotel precinct. But this had nothing on the preparations for Reagan’s visit back in ’86, when Bali was still in the first flush of the surfer-led tourist boom and was more or less a collection of villages connected by narrow lanes. The airport Nusa Dua road, although only a couple of years old like the resort village it led to, wasn’t wide enough for Reagan’s bullet-proof limo and Secret Service motorcycle outriders, and had to be ripped up and made again, sacrificing rice fields on either side.

The American media reported in the leadup to the visit: “Trucks and bulldozers are making a new beach of white sand for President Reagan to lounge on when he visits the tropical island this month … A special driveway is also being built to Mr. Reagan’s $600-a-night suite, so that state guests will not have to go through the main lobby of the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel.

“The hotel is installing bullet-proof glass in the presidential suite, which includes two bedrooms, a lounge, study, dining room, kitchen, and a private swimming pool with direct access to the new beach. The entire resort village of Nusa Dua will be blocked off during Reagan’s visit to the Indonesian island, known for its coral reefs and gentle Hindu culture.”

In fact the village was blockaded almost a week before Reagan’s arrival, at the same time that nearby Denpasar, the island’s capitol, was also blocked for the royal cremation of the raja of Badung, Bali’s biggest religious event in a generation, with the extended families not just of the raja but of 600 of his followers who were to be honoured by sharing the funeral pyre. So it wasn’t just a busy week in Bali, it was complete and utter mayhem. Adding to the chaos was the fact that President Suharto had placed a complete ban on Australian media covering the Reagan visit in retaliation for a Sydney Morning Herald article exposing corruption and cronyism in his family, which didn’t stop photographer Rob Walls and I from sneaking in as cultural tourists, there for the raja’s bonfire.

In an article for The Bulletin titled Not even Reagan can compete with a funeral in paradise, I wrote: “The royal cremation signalled the beginning of the most important week in Bali since the opening of the Ngurah Rai International Airport in 1969, when Paradise was dragged kicking and screaming into the realities of the jet age. In this week not only was Pemecutan [the raja] sent on to a better world

Finished result

Bulletin article filed from Bali Not to mention five-star mayhem. Black suits and uniforms were everywhere.

The Reagan entourage brought some 700 military, Secret Service and White House personnel to Bali. Warships stood off Nusa Dua and Kuta Beach.

With no media credentials, we couldn’t get near the action, although the off-duty Secret Service guys filling the bars were pretty talkative for the price of a beer or two. Still, the fact that we snuck in and no one else did meant it was a cover story.

And once the eagle had taken off again, I even got a few surfs in. But Bali was never quite the same.

Community surf awards The Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s community surf awards presentations, held at the Boiling Pot Brewery last Friday night, were a huge success, a sellout thanks to the fabulous beats of Raw Ordio and the patronage of a growing number of Friends of the NWSR, plus some great sponsors. Special shout out to legend shaper and designer Ross Wilson who produced the incredible fin trophies. (Wish I had one!)

PROPERTY NEWS

THE LURE OF NOOSA RIVER PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THE Noosa River continues its allure this time with a remarkable offering that stretches back almost four decades.

The one-bedroom, one-bathroom riverfront cottage on on 966sq m with jetty and slipway at 45 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore, was home to Eddie Vaughan.

Eddie was a familiar site along the river for more than 20 years, cleaning the rubbish from the water’s edge while dressed in his T-shirt and football shorts.

In that time he built up a remarkable collection of fishing lures that had been left, lost or discarded by anglers.

The lures formed a colourful but also confronting reminder of the state of the river.

Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate built up a strong friendship with Eddie over the years and in conjunction with Roger Omdahl will take the property to auction in rooms at 11am on Saturday, December 3.

It is one of the most interesting listings Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A one-bedroom, one-bathroom riverfront cottage on on 966sq m with jetty and slipway at 45 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore, will go to auction in rooms at 11am on Saturday, December 3. 306874 as while the riverfront property is not a blank canvas, the cottage and shed are near the road, Warren said, so the new owner could build on the water side.

It gives deep water access, has a floating pontoon and slipway, as well as a good retaining wall.

Eddie’s cottage is positioned next door to the river house that Warren sold earlier this year and is being renovated, so it’s in a good neighbourhood.

Originally an engineer from Melbourne, Eddie loved fishing and chose Noosa to live.

He first lived at Noosa’s eastern beaches but 20 years ago bought the North Shore cottage and became the beachcomber.

The initial response from the listing has been heartfelt for Warren as well as quite overwhelming.

He would often take a ride in his tinnie across to see Eddie and sit at sunset, swapping stories.

Now it is time for new owners to Inquiry has come from all over - a lot of Brisbane people are seeing it as the ideal getaway,

yet also Sydney, Melbourne and local.

The property has views over the widest section of the Noosa River, views that continue to the western shore and Mt Tinbeerwah.

The original cottage features a wide verandah for river gazing, a bedroom, kitchen, and living room with access the rear east-facing deck.

The near-level block of almost 966sq m is well above river level.

Eddie’s Shack is to be sold at Auction on Saturday 3 December at 11am at the offices of Laguna Real Estate, 111 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin.

BEACH-SIDE PEREGIAN ALWAYS A WINNER The unprecedented response during the pre-auction marketing campaign for the Tracy Russell-listed 54 Lorikeet Dve, Peregian Beach, is consistent with the demand for properties on the eastern beaches, especially the calibre of this Bahamas-inspired beach house, which is seconds away from the sand, thanks to a pool-side gate.

The main interest for the two-level,

An ecstatic Tracy Russell at 54 Lorikeet Drive, Peregian Beach. 309100 five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence with vaulted ceilings and multiple living areas came from interstate and Brisbane; however, the ones with serious eyes on the ultimate prize were locals.

There were four registered bidders and it took just three bids before auctioneer Gordon Macdonald declared it sold for $5.127m to Peregian Beach residents, excitedly upgrading to good times almost on the beach.

CAPTURING NOOSA LIFESTYLE A four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 20 Headland Dve, Noosaville, has been listed for sale by negotiation by Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents.

Elevated from the street with a northeast aspect and capturing summer breezes, this immaculate home is of splitlevel in design.

It offers a home cinema room, spacious open-plan living, a large executive-style home office and all-white kitchen with Caesarstone waterfall benchtops.

“It’s a great location,’’ Scott said, “handy to everything.

Endless muted grey tiles draw your attention to open plan living and note in the central area, the coffered ceiling with a honey-hued timber inset.

MID CENTURY MODERN AND TIMELESS HOME BOLDLY staking its claim in a sequestered whisper-quiet street, this super cool sassy residence cleverly takes its place in the sun on a prized perch, a stone’s throw from the Weyba waterways.

Along the timber walkway past olive and lime trees, open the front door almost expecting an artist-in residence. There’s a unique sense of young at heart playfulness, pops of brilliant colour especially wallpaper, and all shrieking mid-century modern, yet juxtaposed by the natural shimmering textures and clever use of endless polished concrete.

Indoors open plan living, and dining areas radiate timeless integrity, flair, scale, functionality, and coalesce seamlessly with the expansive terrace with its lush verdant backdrop, thanks to an uncomplicated twist. A custom easy lift powder coated aluminium & glass garage door rises to every occasion, whatever the reason and season.

There is a servery from the kitchen which continues the avantgarde aesthetic.

Concrete-topped benches and island/ breakfast bar with designer elongated pendants, butlers sink, gooseneck tapware, a high-end wide Blanco gas/electric cooktop/oven, Asko dishwasher, plus a walk-in pantry features a wine store and interesting shelving made from repurposed timber.

Evocative wall paper showy peacocks are a talking point in the outdoor alfresco hangout space, while toucans ’watch over’ the oval bath in the burnished copper-hued tiled ensuite of the king master suite.

An office has two access doors, and the laundry is kitted out with plenty of storage.

top space and soft touch drawers for that all important storage. This area has its own split system air conditioner whilst downstairs has ducted air conditioning. On a lower level is more lockup car garaging plus another ensuited bedroom. If so desired, this garage area could be made into more living or even as a large work from home space.

Outside is the extremely generous timber deck area for covered outdoor dining or entertaining adjoining the perfectly positioned concrete saltwater pool with

travertine tiled edge, just the spot to cool off this summer. There’s wiring for speakers and a spot for the TV too. Throughout the home the owners have included special mood lighting, an all important benefit when unwinding and relaxing of an evening.

Some more features include two large open sheds offering room for storage of cars, boats, caravans, etc, 3 phase power, deep bore, dog fenced perimeter, remote control gated entry with intercom, fruit trees including 2 spectacular mango trees, and 70,000 litres (approximately) rainwater storage. The real bonus is a separate building with timber verandah. This would be an ideal project to convert to liveable accommodation with part of the work already done!

Situated in the picturesque Noosa hinterland yet so close to all the activities of the coast, this exciting property offers a fantastic relaxing lifestyle you’ll be proud to call home. Inspection is at the bi weekly open homes. ●

NOOSA TODAY 19

Don’t let your home get lost in the digital noise In property marketing, the value of print advertising cannot be overstated. Some real estate agents are telling sellers all buyers (and potential sellers), will see the property on the Internet, but that is far from the truth. “Sellers are missing opportunities which could be costing them dearly” explained Tom Offermann, eponymous real estate company principal. “We gather an enormous amount of data which dramatically demonstrates how powerful print media is. The numbers at open houses can quadruple when an ad appears in Noosa Today, and the traffic to websites clearly spikes as readers head there for more information. Property editorials, auction results and up-to-the-minute stories in early general news, are also invaluable.”

“Add cost. Marketing is not the place to take shortcuts if you are aiming for a premium price, and advertising in the local newspaper is inexpensive.

I feel sorry for property owners who have been advised to solely advertise on the web. It would be nice if it was that simple, but the truth is it is not.

A lot of work goes into designing and running a comprehensive marketing campaign and agents who think web-only advertising is the quick fix, are taking risks with their client’s investment.”

Ask your agent - will my home be seen in a local newspaper and online by an engaged local audience?

HOME FOCUS

INSPIRING AND IMMACULATE HOME ARTISTIC, architectural and simply sublime, this stunning beachside abode is bursting with personality. A seemingly endless list of meticulous modern updates has transformed this Sunshine Beach beauty into a remarkable residence that will inspire and amaze.

A gorgeous combination of brick archways, tall beamed ceilings and bespoke detailing adds to the character of the light-filled interior. Spanning two levels, you will enjoy four bedrooms and three bathrooms including a separate and selfcontained guest retreat where loved ones can share in this serene setting.

The main floor provides open-plan, indoor-outdoor living with multiple spaces to rest and recharge. There’s a good-size lounge, with a fireplace, alongside a dining area plus a deck, verandah and patio with a built-in BBQ. For the cook, the quality kitchen is modern and sophisticated with an ILVE deep fryer and a suite of Miele appliances including a steam oven, coffee machine, heat-warming drawer, pyrolytic oven, teppanyaki plate, induction cooktop and an induction wok hob. There are

also sweeping benchtops, dark-coloured cabinetry and a servery to the outdoors.

Completing this main floor is a bathroom, laundry and dedicated office for those who work from home.

Three large bedrooms are located upstairs including your opulent master suite with a retreat area, huge walk-in robe and an ensuite with a walk-in shower, freestanding tub and private water closet.

Whether you’re after room for visitors or you’re looking to generate a short-term rental income, the guest house will delight.

There’s a combined bedroom and retreat along with an ensuite and a deck.

All this is set on a generous lot with manicured landscaping plus there’s a 3.5x1.83m (deep) magnesium plunge pool, a 3-person Sunlighten mPulse infrared sauna, a 10.36kW solar system, airconditioning, Omvivo Washplanes in the bathrooms and off-street parking. You’ll live close to Sunshine Beach or you can head into the vibrant village with shops, restaurants, cafes and entertainment to explore. ●

PERFECTLY POSITIONED APARTMENT THIS stylish, light-filled apartment is perfectly positioned in arguably one of the best located buildings in Sunshine Beach, Craiglea Lodge, directly opposite Webb Park, just 50-metres to the surf club and patrolled beach, and footsteps to the vibrant village dining hub - showcasing glorious white water views, it offers the very pinnacle of desirable coastal living.

Across a single level it comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, well appointed kitchen with adjacent dining, elegant sunken lounge, expansive alfresco terrace to truly savour the outlook and soak up the gentle sea breezes, and separate laundry; the apartment is fully furnished, and there is secure parking for one vehicle.

Split system air-conditioning, high ceilings, plantation shutters, stone benches in kitchen, separate shower and bath in main bathroom, ceiling fans, and good storage - are all features of note, and the decor is fresh and crisp, very much in symmetry with the surrounds.

Immaculately presented there is no

money to be spent, and fully furnished you can rent out immediately or move straight in - current long-term investor owner of 25 years has holiday let for income, and it is certainly in the more prime position for this purpose and would also make a fabulous weekender/holiday home for a city or country dweller.

Located in a boutique complex of only

4 - there are lush tropical gardens and a communal inground pool onsite, plus it is pet-friendly (stbca). So close to the beach and village, you will rarely need to use the car, nor will you have to walk far; the convenience is exceptional.

Wake to the sound and the sight of the sea, if you’re up early enough you can admire a spectacular sunrise over your

morning cuppa, and at certain times of the year you may even spot the humpback whales on their migratory journey from the comfort and privacy of your sundrenched terrace. Sound inviting?

First time to market for quarter of a century; this will attract masses of attention from buyers across the nation.

Make it yours, it’s an investment not only in a blue-chip location that rises in value across all market conditions, but it’s also an investment in your very best life.

Elegant, light-filled apartment opposite park 50-metres to surf club and patrolled beach Glorious white water views, gentle breezes Fully furnished, tasteful fresh crisp decor 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sunken lounge Quality kitchen, expansive alfresco terrace Boutique complex of only 4 - pool onsite Tightly held for 25 years by current owner ●

WIDE RIVER VIEWS FROM PENTHOUSE THERE is only a limited number of residential properties along Gympie Terrace, often referred to as Noosa’s “Golden Mile”.

These properties are tightly held, highly prized, and snapped up quickly when they come onto the market.

And that is very easy to understand!

Lucky owners and holiday makers who live or stay on Gympie Terrace enjoy fabulous views of the pristine Noosa River and of the picturesque adjacent parklands and shady trees.

They can watch the colourful variety of watercraft floating by, including ferries, yachts, kayaks and stand-up paddles.

Swimmers can enjoy the clear waters and sandy riverbanks.

A variety of fabulous coffee shops, restaurants and clothing shops are on their doorstep, and the large Noosa Village Shopping Centre is only a short walk away.

The outstanding top floor penthouse at 3/235 Gympie Terrace is in the heart of all these attractions.

It will have enormous appeal for permanent living or for buyers looking to enjoy holidays in a prime location, and earn an income at other times of the year.

The apartment would also be an ideal

“lock and leave” home for the many buyers who are now down-sizing from larger homes and wanting to be able to travel without worrying about a larger, high-maintenance property.

It would be a perfect home for a buyer wanting a beautiful, quiet environment for a work from home office.

Situated on the top floor of a small, boutique complex, this large apartment boasts a highly sought- after northern aspect over the river, which bathes the apartment in light and provides cooling river breezes through the large sliding glass doors and windows.

The sparkling river views can be

enjoyed from most rooms in this spacious apartment, and from the sweeping front balcony. A fabulous spot to enjoy beautiful sunsets and sunrises over the water!

The main bedroom even has its own private balcony with river views, and on a still night the sound of the ocean waves beyond the river mouth in the distance can be heard!

The living areas feature soaring raked ceilings which create sensational volume and a modern architectural feel in the apartment.

The apartment has been immaculately maintained and improved by its current owner, so there is nothing for the new

owner to do except move in and enjoy!

White plantation shutters and quality blinds throughout, cool tiling, fresh painting, huge re-modelled kitchen, and new bathroom fittings have given the apartment a sharp, stylish look.

Ducted and split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans throughout, ample storage inside and out, a sparkling pool in the complex, and spacious bedrooms, complete a very attractive property which many local and interstate buyers have been waiting for.

Be quick to arrange your private inspection! ●
