It’s looking a lot like Christmas Christmas celebrations abounded last week with highlights including the Christmas in Cooroy, Christmas Carols Cruise on the river, Tewantin Christmas Carnival and the Noosa Council and emergency services Christmas convoy.

Celebrations continue this week when Pomona hosts a Night of Lights on Thursday evening and next when the Peregian Beach Christmas Carols kick off next Wednesday afternoon and you can catch Santa at local shopping centres and at his shack at Main Beach.

Free bus push on

12572850-DL42-22

Noosa councillors voted this week to call on the state government to make Noosa a future trial site for a “fully subsidised public transport system“ on top of continuing its free weekend bus service.

Riding on the success of a free weekend bus service that has been trialled for 10 months, but acknowledging Noosa’s ongoing traffic problems, Cr Amelia Lorentson put forward a motion to request free public transport at Monday’s general committee meeting and all councillors agreed.

Cr Lorentson said Go Noosa data showed 20,000 people worked in Noosa each day but only 183 used public transport to get to work.

There are about 13,500 cars on the road every day driven by residents to work, she said.

“In addition we have 8224 school kids, many driven to school.

“As you can see we have a problem,“ she said.

Cr Lorentson said the problem needed a radical solution but making public transport free was not a new initiative. It was already being used in 180 cities across the world.

A report prepared by council prior to the introduction of the free weekend bus initiative described its benefits as being habit-changing in reducing car usage and freeing staff from the need to drive.

It would reduce parking issues (particularly during peak season when Hastings Street employs 2800 people), it resonated with council’s “different by nature” vision and would break

the local mindset that Noosa Heads was out of bounds due to parking issues, the report stated.

This month council revealed a report on the free weekend bus trial which showed after a slow start when it began last February, usage had increased each month, more than doubling in August and September with numbers growing from about 6000 in 2021 to more than 14,000 in 2022.

Feedback on the weekend bus trial showed it had other positive outcomes.

Pomona and District Chamber of Commerce indicated the free weekend buses were helping to counter social isolation with seniors using the service to access the Noosa Civic and the Noosa Junction cinema. They were also proving popular with young people in the hinterland accessing attractions on the coast and

in encouraging more travel to the hinterland to activities including the Pomona markets and hiking trails.

Cr Lorentson expected a free transport system would be part of a broader policy that rewarded public transport use and disincentivised car use by means such as priority bus lanes to enable faster travel and paid parking.

Subject to agreement from Translink, council aimed to continue the free weekend bus service trial on routes 626, 627, 628, 629 and 632 until February 2024 and would continue to negotiate with Translink on their ticketing systems, enabling the addition of other routes such as one to Peregian Beach that enters and departs the Noosa Shire.

A final decision on the issue will be made at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday.

A special visitor will be dropping in at Peregian Beach.

Santa ready to drop in Keep an eye on the sky on Wednesday 21 December for Santa’s return to Peregian Beach for the long-running Christmas carols, now in its 58th year.

A committed group of local volunteers and events professionals is gathering each week to prepare what they hope will be the best carols’ event yet, including a host of local entertainers.

Peregian Family and Friends president Leigh McCready said the organisation was collaborating with the Peregian Beach Business Association and the newly incorporated Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club to bring the event back to the park and they would love the whole community to attend.

“This year’s event is going to have all the old favourites like carol singers, musicians singing traditional and modern songs and of course a very special sky-diving guest will be there for the kids,” she said.

“And we’re also continuing some of the new features we added in 2021, such as a local artisan market for those last-minute Christmas goodies, jumping castle and a spectacular laser light show to conclude the evening with lots of surprises in between.

Visit Peregian Beach for its Christmas carols event.

“With the support of Noosa Council we have been able to keep the cost to attend the Carols low, with a $15 per family contribution which covers all rides, entertainment and kids’ activities.”

“We want everyone to come along and celebrate our wonderful community and the spirit of Christmas on Wednesday 21 December from 3pm in Peregian Park, Peregian Beach.”

The Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park is the subject of discussion again this week, not for proposed tourist initiatives but because of an airstrip that the the state government wants to take charge of from council jurisdiction.

A formal request has been made by the state government to the council to relinquish the land of which it is trustee that is being used as a North Shore aircraft landing reserve so it can be included in the Great Sandy National Park.

Some discussion on the matter was conducted by council at its Monday meeting before more information was requested and it was referred to its Thursday meeting.

While the land has been gazetted as a landing reserve since 1948 and had landing strips established since the 1970s only a recent evaluation of the land by council as part of the Planning Scheme Review identified its significant ecological value, with council saying it has zoned the property for Environmental Management and Conservation.

The reserve has two resident clubs, the Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators and the Noosa Model Flyers.

In a report council says there have been various issues with the land including aviation pressures from helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, noise complaints from Noosa North Shore and Teewah residents, disagreements between community clubs and over airstrip maintenance and safety obligations, unlawful land clearing and Civil Aviation Safety Authority investigations into aviation complaints and safety incidents.

Council says it considers the best use of site is conservation.

Visitors told Tread Lightly Tourism Noosa has launched the Tread Lightly Noosa program, providing visitors the opportunity to lighten their environmental footprint while on holiday in Noosa.

Focused on the protection and rejuvenation of the rich biodiverse landscape, the Tread Lightly Noosa program provides visitors with the opportunity to gain hands-on education and insight into local environmental projects and programs making a difference in Noosa today.

Juanita Terry-Bloomfield, head of tourism sustainability and program design said, “Sustainable travel was once the desire for a small group of visitors to Noosa and in recent years we have seen this desire gaining considerable momentum”.

“According to Booking.com’s Sustainable Travel Report for 2022, 71 per cent of global travellers are planning to make more effort in the next year to travel more sustainably. This is an increase of 10 per cent from 2021 - we believe sustainable travel is no longer the ambition of the few but of many to Noosa.”

The Tread Lightly Noosa program features six environment-based experiences to suit visitors’ interests and availability, inspiring them to venture beyond the usual sights and sounds of a Noosa holiday.

Plastic Free Noosa – Beach Clean-Ups Visitors can help protect the Noosa Biosphere Reserve and join in on a Plastic Free Noosa clean-up event. Remove microplastics and other pollution from the coastline, creeks, estuaries, and rivers across Noosa and become part of the solution to plastic pollution.

First event date: 5 March.

Trees for Tourism – Tree Planting Visitors can plant a tree and personally help rejuvenate vulnerable bushland areas of the Noosa Biosphere. Each native tree provides shade for walkers, assists with erosion mitigation, and improves the habitat for local koalas and over 700 wildlife species native to Noosa. ?

First event date: 20 March.

Enter the Flyosphere – Noosa Shorebirds Experience Visitors can take a guided tour of the Noosa River estuary and admire the resident shorebirds and migratory species from a distance in their natural habitat as they rest and forage along the foreshore and islands of Noosa. ?

“The Tread Lightly Noosa program and the environmentally based experiences aim to encourage visitors to holiday in a more mindful and responsible way.”

“We hope to appeal and connect with travellers with a regenerative desire – each experience would allow visitors to help rejuvenate and protect the Noosa Biosphere Reserve.

Travellers could leave the Noosa region knowing it is in a better state than when they arrived,” Ms Terry-Bloomfield said.

As the program evolves, Tourism Noosa aims to expand the experiences to include cultural understanding and connection.

“Visitors are actively seeking destinations to visit that are truly sustainable and we have already seen demand for tourism experiences such as this with corporate companies looking for regenerative tourism products for their teams to experience,” Tourism Noosa’s acting chief executive officer Susan Ewington said.

Some experiences incur a fee for logistics such as boat hire, purchasing of trees, onground materials, and tools and visitor donations go to the not-for-profit partners including Plastic Free Noosa, Noosa Integrated Catchment Association and Landcare.

Christmas joy in Cooroy

By Margie Maccoll Cooroy’s Nathan Horan led from the start of the Great Santa Race, one of the highlights of last Friday’s annual Christmas in Cooroy event, and continued to extend his lead as the Santa runners thundered to the finish line.

Thousands lined Elm Street as men, women and even a father and his young son donned Santa suits and raced from the bottom, up its steep incline to the top of the street, many losing much of their Santa apparel along the way.

It was the second win in a row for Nathan who vowed to compete again next year, with second in the race going to Kyle Gordon who had travelled from Toowoomba to enter and third place going to King of the Mountain champion Jorge Navarro from Noosa.

Cooroy came to life for the free festival, put on by the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce, as people wandered the street enjoying the extended shopping hours, late night restaurant and cafe openings and the activities including those at the Butter Factory Art Centre which hosted a Christmas market, food and drink stalls and exceptional music from local band Claptomaniacs.

People danced and dined and took part in the various activities including the decorated bike competition, Jingle Joggers jaunt, the lighting of the Christmas tree and the excitement of the arrival of Santa.

River rating drops to a B Noosa River has lost its long held A-rating, dropping to a B rating on this year’s Healthy Land and Waterway report card.

The report card, released on 17 November, recorded significantly increased pollutant loads from moderate to very high, with sediment [mud] load increasing from 349kg/ha in 2021 to 1112kg/ha in 2022.

Run-off also delivered very high loads of nitrogen (19.3 kg/ha) and phosphorus (1.6 kg/ ha) to waterways.

The change was attributed to very high rainfall and river flows experienced over the summer months, transporting pollutants from agricultural peri-urban urban areas downstream.

Considered a largely intact coastal lagoon system, the Noosa River stretches from the Great Sandy National Park to the river mouth with urban areas concentrated around the lower estuarine reaches where extensive land clearing has occurred.

The freshwater creeks declined from excellent to good condition, with a decline in macroinvertebrate community health at Cooloola Way. River bank vegetation in the catchment remains good with 89 per cent cover, and wetland extent remains excellent with 88 per cent cover in the freshwater reaches. The extent of wetland habitat in the estuary also remains excellent, with 90 per cent of mangroves and saltmarshes remaining. The report found higher levels of bank vegetation and estuarine habitat supported valuable commercial and recreational fisheries and stoped the erosion of sediments into the waterways.

Estuarine water quality was reported as having a slight decline but was still considered to be in excellent condition.

Turbidity within Lake Cooroibah and Lake Cootharaba declined slightly this year. Nutrients (total nitrogen and total phosphorus) and chlorophyll also declined slightly, though

Noosa River fell to a B-rating on Healthy Land and Waterway report card. remained excellent.

Despite the drop in water quality, the river scored well in terms of resident satisfaction.

It found 78 per cent of residents were satisfied with the local waterways, and 74 per cent gained a very high level of personal benefit from using their waterways, compared to 57 per cent for all of South East Queensland.

The report found 53 per cent of residents used the waterways at least daily, among the highest within South East Queensland with top activities being walking or running (107 days/year per resident), enjoying nature (76 days/year per resident), swimming (28 days/ year per resident), and picnics/barbecues (28 days/year per resident).

The report placed a recreational value on

the waterway at $2865 per person/year.

A number of priority areas for improvement were identified in the report.

Of top priority was protecting and managing existing values from the pressures of population growth, reducing sediment loads and nutrients entering waterways by implementing activities in priority catchments such as Ringtail Creek, Lake Cootharaba and Kin Kin Creek and continuing support of management as outlined in the Keeping it in Kin Kin plan.

It recommended a focus on engagement and compliance within industries with high soil disturbance, such as agriculture and development and continued investment in minimising wastewater treatment plant and other industrial discharges as well as protecting ex-

isting riverbank vegetation and wetlands and making it a priority to increase waterway buffers within the peri-urban/agricultural landscape.

Currently 89 per cent of the river banks in the Noosa catchment are vegetated, and 88 per cent of freshwater wetlands remain, the report stated.

The report recommended supporting community groups to deliver actions to improve catchment and waterway health, providing education campaigns on the respectful use of beaches, state forests and greenspace areas and supporting projects that strengthen Kabi Kabi connection with sea, such as re-establishing extinct oyster reefs.

Ramping up boat access

By Margie Maccoll Former Queensland Tourism Minister and Noosa MP Bruce Davidson has joined forces with Noosa Boating and Fishing Alliance to call on Noosa Council to urgently upgrade the Doonella Bridge boat ramp to help cut the shortfall of boat ramps needed to meet demand.

On Monday Mr Davidson, alliance members Andrew McCarthy and Craig Chicko Vella, and fishing and boating enthusiast Mark Wacker met with the Noosa Mayor and councillors at the Doonella Bridge boat ramp they propose be upgraded to accommodate 25 boat and trailer parking spaces.

Mr McCarthy told councillors Noosa boat ramps were stretched beyond capacity and had been for a long time, describing the facilities as “sub-standard”.

He said figures from an MSQ 2017 Queensland boating facilities demand forecasting study showed there were 4029 registered boats in Noosa, 93 per cent were trailer boats indicating a 50 per cent shortfall in boat ramp facilities, and recommended a new twolane boat ramp with 45 car and trailer parks be constructed, as a priority, at Chaplin Park.

Data from a 2022 boat ramp study showed an increase in Noosa boat ownership to 4671, exceeding a 2036 forecast, and representing a 73 per cent shortfall in boat ramp facilities, he said.

Mr McCarthy said safety and equity of access were also issues with only one floating walkway providing easier access for people with mobility issues, available at Noosaville ramp.

“We have a desperate need for additional boat launching and car and trailer parking,” Mr Davidson said.

“The Noosaville ramp at peak times with delayed launching issues, is at capacity with a shortfall of more than 30 car and trailer park-

Picture: ROB MACCOLL ing spaces. This is becoming an issue for business owners and residents in the Noosaville area with cars and trailers taking up car parks in nearby streets.

“Tewantin boat ramp is at capacity most weekends and there is a major shortfall in peak periods. Moorindal Street ramp adjacent to the car ferry requires at least five dedicated car and trailer parking spaces for those boaties motoring north.

“Upgrading Doonella Bridge represents the most suitable solution. It is an existing ramp that has been operating for many years.”

Mr McCarthy said the pressure on boaties was leading to “boat ramp rage”.

“When you have a situation with not enough facilities, people get hot under the collar,” he said.

An upgrade of facilities at Doonella Bridge as proposed into a modern two-lane ramp with rigging bays, wash lane and fish cleaning area, was not the magic bullet to solving the under-supply but it would alleviate the situation, he said.

In addition, a charge to jetski access rules that would permit them to launch from Tewantin and Doonella ramps instead of only being able, at present, to launch at the Noosaville ramp, would also alleviate the pressure, he said.

Cr Amelia Lorentson thanked the fishing

representatives for taking the lead on the issue.

Mayor Clare Stewart said she could prepare a Mayoral Minute on the issue to present to January council meetings, giving every councillor the opportunity to discuss the issue and determine their support.

Mr Davidson said the group would also be seeking support from Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Maritime Safety Queensland and hoped funding could be accessed from a Maritime investment fund created from Queensland boating registrations.

An online petition has been set up at change.org/NoosaBoatRamps to garner public support.

Fallen hiker winched out The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew has winched a woman to safety after she reportedly fell several metres down a popular hinterland mountain west of Eumundi.

It’s believed the woman and a small group of hikers had been climbing Mt Eerwah when she fell about three metres down a steep rock face.

The rescue chopper was called to the scene shortly after 1pm last Sunday.

Due to the terrain where the hiker had fallen, it was decided it was safest to winch the

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic down to the patient.

Local QAS paramedics and Queensland Fire and Emergency personnel (QFES) were also on scene, assisting the injured walker.

The QAS Flight Paramedic treated the woman, aged in her 50s, for a suspected broken leg before securing her into the patient harness.

The woman and the QAS Flight Paramedic were then winched up into the helicopter.

The hiker was flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.

Survival gift for two towns

By Abbey Cannan After the 2022 floods, the Cooroy and District Local Ambulance Committee (LAC) looked at options to enhance community resilience and found an opportunity to provide community access to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).

A new policy was developed between the LAC and the QAS where they can donate an AED for affixing on the outside of the ambulance station, with the QAS committing to the ongoing servicing and maintenance of the AEDs. After community feedback, the LAC decided the first two stations to receive the AEDs would be Cooroy and Pomona due to their location within the townships and the challenges around accessibility concerns when it’s flooding.

While meeting at the Cooroy Ambulance Station on Thursday 8 December, QAS Clinical Director Tony Hucker said public access to defibrillators meant more lives being saved.

“This is a fantastic initiative by the Cooroy and District Local Ambulance Committee.

It just demonstrates what commitment they have to recovery and survival,” Mr Hucker said.

“I want to make it very clear that in order for us to actually save more lives from cardiac arrest, we need to have more AEDs in the community and more people trained in CPR. There is no doubt that if you get access to someone that is trained in CPR and there is an AED close by, your survival is very good compared to the other option.

“Australia has events every year, whether it be floods, fires, or some sort of disaster, and having communities that get cut off make it more challenging to provide emergency services. This is one of the reasons why we need communities with AEDs, because it doesn’t matter if you’re cut off, at least you’ll have access to an AED.” Mr Hucker said it was important to remember that most cardiac arrests occur in homes.

“Having it outside an ambulance station

QAS clinical director Tony Hucker and LAC Cooroy and District president Linley Macleod. like this is really good as the community can see it,” he said.

“We need community groups like LACs and others to work out ways to have AEDs in local streets. It might be where the phone box is, or where the post office is, or the power poles in the middle of the street...”

He said the first action a person should take when they find someone in need was to call emergency services.

“Triple 000 is the priority because they will talk you through how to do CPR, so you get immediate support when you make that call,” Mr Hucker said.

“They will ask about AEDs in the community, and in the future we will hopefully know about AEDs as well, so we can direct you to them.

“AEDs are absolutely simple to use. You don’t need to have any training to be able to use them. You just need to find the on button and it will tell you what to do.

“It will only shock you if you need a shock, they’re very sophisticated and clever. They’re easy to carry. No-one should be afraid if they don’t have first aid training. But I would encourage everyone to get CPR training.”

The injured woman is winched into the LifeFlight helicopter.

170k drivers caught in first year of new cameras More than 170,000 drivers and frontseat passengers have been snapped doing the wrong thing in 12 months since Queensland’s mobile phone and seatbelt detection cameras began enforcement.

The cameras caught 119,862 drivers using their phones illegally and 52,542 drivers or front-seat passengers not wearing a seatbelt or wearing it correctly.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the shocking figures indicated too many Queenslanders continued to risk their lives on the roads.

“Each offender needs to ask themself what value they place on their life as using a mobile phone while driving or failing to wear a seatbelt or wear it correctly could easily end in tragedy – that’s the reality,“ Mr Bailey said.

“Using a mobile phone while driving is as dangerous as driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.07-0.10.

“By law, you must not have your phone in your hand or resting on any part of your body, including your lap while driving, regardless of whether the phone is on or in use.“ Mr Bailey said all drivers had a responsibility to ensure they and their passengers were wearing a seatbelt and wearing it properly.

“Wearing a seatbelt correctly fastened and adjusted reduces the risk of serious injury in a crash by 50 per cent and death by 45 per cent,“ he said.

“A seatbelt, if worn correctly, should be worn across the shoulder, the chest and buckled low across the hips. A seatbelt is designed to go across these areas as they are better able to withstand a crash than

A driver caught on their phone. other parts of the human body.“ Any driver caught by the cameras can expect to receive a $1078 fine and lose four demerit points for both mobile phone and seatbelt offences.

“Double demerit points apply for repeat offences within a 12-month period, so if you are caught doing the wrong thing multiple times, you could face losing your licence in addition to the steep fines,“ Mr Bailey said.

“Learners and P-platers will face losing their licence when they receive their first infringement for either of these offences.

“The message is simple. If you don’t want one of these fines, do the right thing on our roads.”

Mr Bailey reiterated the cameras could be located anywhere, anytime, across Queensland and drivers should expect to be caught if they are breaking the road rules.

“All money raised through the Camera Detection Offence Program (CDOP) is reinvested in road safety initiatives and education programs,“ he said.

“Road safety remains a priority and this financial year we have invested $1.5 billion state-wide, through education campaigns, road upgrades and new technologies.“

Classy helpers bring joy

By Margie Maccoll For one day of the year, more than 400 families and their thousand or so children were able to put aside their troubles when they were showered with Christmas presents and gifts of food, toiletries and clothes, thanks to the exceptional work of Santa’s Classy Helpers and the community.

“It was just beautiful. Everybody was so happy,“ Santa’s Classy Helpers founder Lorraine Kenway said.

What began 10 years ago by three friends - Lorraine, Rosie Grogan and Chris Parker who approached Cooroy Families Services with thoughts of helping a handful of people at Christmas, Santa’s Classy Helpers has grown enormously as the number of people in Noosa needing help increases.

Over the years they have been joined by an army of volunteers, who due to the year-long fundraising and collection activities of the classy helpers and generous donations of locals, visitors and businesses, bring joy to the increasing number of families who are struggling.

“Over 1500 people were helped this year,“ Lorraine said.

A range of services including YouTurn, St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army, local churches and school chaplains each year refer families in need to Santa’s Classy Helpers.

Toys are selected to match the age and gender of each child.

Last Tuesday from about 7.30am, families arrived at The J Theatre to roam the aisles of the group’s makeshift shopping centre to fill their trolleys with fresh fruit and vegetables, groceries, Christmas treats and a toy for each of their children.

“The community was so generous,“ Lorraine said.

“The Lions club gave families a sausage sizzle while they waited. Salvos gave them coffee

Santa’s Classy Helpers and volunteers set out their Christmas gifts at The J Theatre ready for collection. from their new coffee van.

“Bank of Queensland staff came on set-up day to help unload our massive trucks. Men from the swim club Turtles unloaded trucks.

“So many people just help out. Without them these families wouldn’t get what they get.“ Lorraine said over the years the demographic of people needing help had changed with an increased number now consisting of working poor, unable to make ends meet with rising rents, mortgages and costs of living.

“Every day my phone doesn’t stop from people asking, can you please help me?“ Lorraine said. “They’re not asking for material things, just asking for food.“ A lot of other people don’t ask for help, she said.

Santa’s Classy Helpers have already begun collecting for next Christmas.

If you can help them, email santaclassyhelpers@gmail.com

Beach skills Over the months of November and December, Noosa Heads SLSC educated 35 excited St Joseph Catholic Primary School and Cherbourg State School students as a part of the Beach to Bush Surf Education program.

The Cherbourg Beach to Bush partnership has been running since 2018 and has been growing each year.

Noosa Heads SLSC members and club president Ross Fisher, travelled to Murgon and Cherbourg in November to teach lifesaving skills in the pool which was welcomed whole heartedly by the students and the community.

Ross remarked that the students dove into the beautiful full sized Murgon swimming pool enthusiastically and learnt tube rescues, board paddling, freshwater safety and signs and flag identification.

Teachers marvelled at the smiles on the students faces commenting they were the happiest they have seen some of the students all year.

Ross went on to say that it was a program that the club was extremely proud of and reconnects the club with the regions where many of lifesavers in the ‘60s and ‘70s came down from to patrol at Noosa and keep the club alive.

Some are also now Life Members of the Club and are still involved.

Recently, Murgon’s St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School students travelled to Noosa for the Beach side of the Beach to Bush program.

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School accommodated students overnight before they arrived at Noosa Heads SLSC for a day of beach education and fun.

On Tuesday 6 December, six teachers and Elders chaperoned students from Cherbourg State School to Noosa Heads SLSC to participant in surf awareness, beach games and a club tour including the patrol tower where they learnt all about our patrolling equipment.

Students laughed their way through beach

Students dove into the Murgon swimming pool enthusiastically and learnt freshwater safety.

Six teachers and Elders chaperoned students from Cherbourg State School to Noosa Heads SLSC to learn surf awareness skills. games, became creative geniuses while crafting sandcastles and listened studiously while being taught beach awareness and safety skills.

Everyone associated with the program thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The weather couldn’t have been any better for both programs and these days will be remembered by all who attended for a very long time.

This special partnership is supported by the community with St Thomas More Catholic Primary School accommodating St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School students, Dennis Massoud from Sand In Your Eyes teaching specialised sandcastle building techniques, Betty’s Burgers assisting with burgers for lunch and Noosa Heads SLSC facilitating the days and the overall program.

Library BookShelf kiosk opens in the hinterland Accessing library services in the hinterland is now even easier thanks to a new partnership between Noosa Council and Pomona & District Community House Inc. The Community House is home to the shire’s second BookShelf – a self-service book-vending library kiosk packed with more than 200 items available for borrowing.

Borrowers can browse and make their selection via a touchscreen which guides them through the borrowing and returns process.

Libraries and galleries manager Tracey King said council’s aim was to extend library services beyond the Noosaville and Cooroy Library branches.

“The kiosks are part of our new outreach/community-based library service to provide easier and improved access to library items,” she said.

“The mobile library is a much loved and utilised service visiting Pomona once a week and I’m pleased that we can offer additional access to library items with the new BookShelf.”

Ms King said it was wonderful for Noosa Library Service to work closely with the Pomona & District Community House committee to provide the new service.

“It’s one of many initiatives we hope to deliver together following the signing of our new memorandum of understanding.”

The Pomona Community House – on Memorial Avenue – is a central hub for the Pomona and hinterland communities, offering welcoming and accessible spaces, friendly and helpful staff and volunteers, community support programs and resources.

Borrowers can swipe their library cards to use the new Pomona BookShelf Library kiosk.

Community House coordinators Heather Manders and Susan Schiotz welcome the addition of the BookShelf kiosk.

“It’s an exciting new chapter to have the Library BookShelf complement our suite of community services,” Ms Schiotz said.

Artwork from local First Nations artist and author/illustrator Gregg Dreise is featured as part of the kiosk design.

The kiosk is open for borrowing 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

“It’s free to borrow - all you need is a Noosa library card,” Ms King said.

To get a library card, call Noosa Library Service on (07) 5329 6555 or join online at libraries.noosa.qld.gov.au

100,000 ride the Rattler The 100,000th passenger to travel on the heritage Mary Valley Rattler railway has been identified and received their official acknowledgement at Gympie Station.

The passenger was Andrew Poland, from the Sunshine Coast, who rode the railway in October.

Andrew and Carolyn Poland were presented with two VIP club car tickets and a Gympie regional produce and souvenir hamper to recognise the milestone.

A special anniversary cake was cut for the occasion, and cupcakes offered to all passengers on the day’s train service to Amamoor.

While the Mary Valley Rattler service has a heritage dating back over 100 years, Andrew Poland was identified as the 100,000th passenger to jump on board the Rattler after it recommenced services in October 2018.

Despite bushfires, Covid, closed borders, lockdowns and other disruptions, the Mary Valley Rattler has weathered the storm and remained on track over the past five years, providing an iconic tourism attraction to the people of Gympie and to visitors from all around Australia and the rest of the world.

Mary Valley Rattler general manager Linda Barry said the milestone was a great tribute to the team of volunteers who had put the Rattler back on the tracks and maintained its service during such challenging times.

“We are thrilled to have passed such a huge landmark, and it gives us great confidence for the future,” Ms Barry said.

“We have had so many challenges this year, but also so many triumphs, with the Rattler being included in Tourism and Events

“Even more importantly, we were able to secure a long-term agreement with the Gympie Regional Council to transfer control of the Mary Valley Rattler rail operation to the Rattler Railway Company and provide funding support over the next four years as the Rattler rebuilds its tourism markets.

“So, there is a huge amount to celebrate today, and we’re happy to share the day with our wonderful volunteers, local dignitaries and our passengers.”

A hidden bushland oasis, just minutes from one of the Sunshine Coast’s favourite coastal lookouts, has received a new elevated boardwalk just in time for the holidays.

Nestled among lush rainforest behind Point Arkwright, the rejuvenated boardwalk is located at Yaroomba Bushland Park.

It is not only more accessible and stormresistant, it is also made entirely from more sustainable products such as fibre composite materials and recycled plastic elements.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 8 Councillor Jason O’Pray said the 152-metre boardwalk was a wonderfully easy way for the community to get active and immerse themselves in nature.

“The Yaroomba Bushland Park is a very special place for our community,” Cr O’Pray said.

“It’s much-loved for its picturesque walks, abundant wetland, vine forest, Wallum woodlands, shaded picnic areas and

quiet children’s playground.

“The new boardwalk replaced the aged wooden walkway off Neurum Road with a careful construction approach to ensure zero harm to vegetation and wildlife.

“It now offers a safer and more durable asset for our community to explore this magic pocket of parkland.

“The boardwalk connects to a one-kilometre walking and cycling circuit that’s perfect for people of all ages to enjoy.”

The $300,000 Yaroomba Bushland Park boardwalk project was fully funded by Sunshine Coast Council’s Minor Capital Works Program after receiving support and nomination by Division 8 Councillor Jason O’Pray.

Council thanks residents for their patience and understanding as this community facility was updated.

Shopping local doesn’t just keep money in your community, it creates jobs. Those jobs create happy workers and future ca-

reers for young people, so when you support small local business, you could be contributing to your community’s happiness.

Buying your gifts locally means less shipping, saving the environment. Buying online may be convenient but sending all those packages around the country sends tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Did you know that small businesses are big sponsors of sport? They are. They are also big supporters of charities and are keen on donating to organisations that directly deal with problems within the community.

Quality team is delivering

By Abbey Cannan Everyone wants to fly first class, but not everyone can.

That’s why Sunshine Coast builder Tim Newton aims to provide first-class service to every single one of his clients through his custom designs and builds at Nu Trend Quality Homes.

“We’re honest working people that have built a product that suits everybody,” Tim said.

There’s a reason why they’re known for high quality workmanship and superior customer service.

“We treat people the same way we want to be treated and focus purely on first class service,” the local family builder said.

It all started in 2003, when Tim began Nu Trend Constructions, a carpentry business.

While Nu Trend completed carpentry on homes for other national builders, Tim’s enthusiasm and high quality workmanship drew attention.

The quality of work from Nu Trend Constructions allowed the business to begin a broader range of work from extensions and renovations to second storey extensions.

Tim then created the business Nu Trend Quality Homes in 2011.

As Nu Trend Quality Homes has grown over the years, skilled staff have been recruited to help deliver a high quality home with a high level of customer service.

“We specialise in the complete home experience, meaning you can walk into your brand new home without needing to do or pay for anything extra,” Tim said.

Mark Winnell, Tim Weber, Sally Keyes, Luke Cameron, Candy Coates, John White.

Bell Potter arrives in Noosa Nu Trend Quality Homes have a wide range of fully customisable new home designs to suit both coastal and hinterland properties.

“We have a flexible and creative approach to building homes to ensure it is the absolute best for you and your family.

“Your new home is more than bricks and mortar, it’s a reflection of your lifestyle, and it starts right here with Nu Trend Quality Homes.”

One lucky person will soon get to win one of Tim’s custom designed homes in Little Mountain.

The home is being raffled off by the Endeavour Foundation, raising money through raffle ticket sales to benefit people living with a disability.

“Good luck to all of the entries, I hope you enjoy the home as much as we enjoyed building it,” Tim said.

FootMotion open in Noosa

Noosa-based artist Cass Deller has designed a colourful collection of bedding and cushions for Pillow Talk.

FootMotion has officially announced that it has opened a new footwear retail branch in Noosa.

FootMotion is a footwear store and podiatrist clinic that began in Toowong, Brisbane and has found success among locals for its unique and personalised service.

The company plans to introduce its extensive range of men’s and women’s shoes across multiple categories, including running, training, walking, work and a school range for kids.

The footwear specialists at FootMotion are committed to empowering customers to live life to the fullest, enhance performance and reduce pain. Featuring state-ofthe-art technology that can scan elements of the client’s feet, the recommended footwear is then fitted precisely in order to suit the functional requirements of the unique, natural walking motion.

The new branch owners are local legends Tim and Bec Rook, both of whom have played an active role in the Noosa sporting and business community for a number of years.

They have very keen health and fitness interests and are focused on longevity.

Bec has been a competitive and social runner for several years. As an ultra-trail runner she clocks at least 80kms a week and also enjoys gym and bikram as part of her body maintenance routine.

Tim has been the president of the Noosa Triathlon Club for a number of years and has competed in a massive three Ironmans and several Olympic distance events.

He’s engaged with the business community as president of the Noosaville Business Association and vice president for the Noosa Chamber of Commerce.

Stocking major footwear Brands such as Hoka, Ecco, Frankie4, Ascent, Mizuno and more, there’s sure to be the right for every-

The collection was inspired by memories of family vacations in Noosa.

Joyful prints Just in time for summer, Noosa-based artist Cass Deller has designed a colourful and joyfilled collection of bedding and cushions exclusively for Pillow Talk.

Inspired by the feeling of summer holidays and memories of family vacations in Noosa, the Kalani collection, is an expression of her energy, transferred through the brush, onto the paper and then into a gorgeous quilt cover, comforter, cushions, and silk pillowcases.

“I am so thrilled with how my summer-inspired watercolour paintings have transferred so perfectly into this beautiful range. I feel like together we’ve truly been able to capture that summer holiday feeling,” Cass said.

Arriving in-stores around the country and online just ahead of the official start of summer, the Kalani collection is hitting summer trends on the head.

Pillow Talk buyer Nicci Skinner said, “After a somewhat dark year, colour and joy are the key trends to watch for summer 2022/23. We are loving fresh colour palettes and joyful prints, and there is no one that does this better that Cass Deller.”

Not only does the collection make an ontrend and joyful addition to your summer home, the cushions and silk pillowcases are the perfect gift for the style lover.

As a Queensland based and family-owned business, Pillow Talk was extremely excited to work with one of the state’s most beloved and inspiring artists.

The Kalani collection begins from $34.95 and is currently on sale.

The Guide CHRISTMAS CABARET ABC TV, Tuesday, 9.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK GARDENING AUSTRALIA ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm

It might be a tad twee to say every episode of Gardening Australia is bursting with joyous zest, but it’s true: host Costa Georgiadis (pictured right) and co-presenters revel in nature’s bounty week in and week out. It’s only fitting that the final instalment of the year is an extra-festive Christmas-themed episode. Tonight, expect the enthusiasm to jolt up a festive notch, with Georgiadis known to sport a Santa hat in the past. A Christmas song gets an impressive spin with Clarence Slockee; Sophie Thomson creates flower lanterns; Josh Byrne primes his garden for the holidays and Millie Ross whips up panettone. It’s a jubilant way for nature lovers – and Georgiadis’ fans – to round out the year.

CHEESE: A LOVE STORY SBS Food, Sunday, 7.30pm

Cheese, cheese and more cheese.

Can a cheese lover ever have too much? Canadian Afrim Pristine’s (pictured left) documentary series is a mouthwatering tableau that celebrates cheese from around the world. Despite being filmed during the pandemic, Pristine managed to fly to many cheese-centric destinations in this six-part series to meet noteworthy and innovative cheesemakers, learning their techniques and devouring their creations. In tonight’s penultimate, dairy-centric adventure, Greece is the word. Pristine lands in the motherland of feta, where cheese culture dates back thousands of years in ancient practices.

SNACKMASTERS Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

Most of us probably shy away from pondering just what really is in some of our favourite snacks; we just steadfastly devour them. Besides, the ingredient lists are often a blur of numbers and unfamiliar additives.

This entertaining and fun-loving series, hosted by Scott Pickett and Poh Ling Yeow (pictured left), has thrown some curveballs as the competing chefs try to crack the code to making some of the nation’s favourite tummy fillers.

After delicacies such as Cheezels and Domino’s loaded pepperoni cheesy crust pizza, tonight’s final serves up two classics: a Four’N Twenty Classic Meat Pie and King Sized Sausage Roll. Tune in to find out who has their finger in the pie for a win.

Christmas has almost arrived, and the Santa-themed specials keep coming at a rate of knots, but here’s something delightfully different and merrily modern. This one-hour laugh-and-song fest, hosted by comedian Nazeem Hussain (pictured left), celebrates Christmas by exploring how people of different faiths embrace the season. Guests including Paul Kelly, Kate Miller-Heidke, Claire Hooper and Steven Oliver share their take on festive fun, with Christmas messages from Magda Szubanski, Jeremy Fernandez, Courtney Act, Benjamin Law, and other well-loved Australians.

Senator Jacqui Lambie even dons a Santa suit for the buoyant, jovial occasion.

Transport, value chain emissions, and product strategies, such as circular economy principles, have a significant and critical impact. A big difference can be made by choosing more sustainable options in everyday life.

Human activity has rapidly increased the emission of GHGs to the atmosphere. Since the start of the industrial revolution, human activities such as burning fossil fuels, including coal and oil, have increased GHG concentrations in the atmosphere. According to an ongoing temperature analysis led by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the average global temperature on earth has increased by at least 1.1 degrees Celsius since 1880.

Carbon dioxide emissions are at their highest in two million years.

Climate change already affects current populations and will affect future generations more severely if something is not done in this decade. Human beings produce GHG emissions from everyday activities. Many try to reduce GHG emissions by reducing their carbon footprint, whether by saving electricity, cycling, or reducing the consumption of animal foods.

How can we do our bit to help? Students at Lexis English school were interviewed and shared some of their strategies to reduce GHG emissions: Consume sustainable and locally sourced products In everything we do, we emit a carbon footprint, so opting for local products and foods is

the most environmentally friendly alternative.

By choosing regional foods and products, you will be helping to reduce fossil fuel emissions associated with transportation and refrigerated storage.

Make your food greener The production of plant-derived foods generally emits fewer GHGs and requires less ener-

gy, land, and water.

“Since 2013, I have reduced my consumption of red meat and dairy for health and sustainability reasons,” student Bruna said.

“People think that reducing meat consumption at least once a week makes no difference, but believe me, it can reduce methane emissions by tonnes annually.”

Try a new mode of transport According to the United Nations, modes of transport contribute about a quarter of global GHG emissions, and finding more sustainable alternatives is increasingly common. Most Lexis students travel by bus, train, or electric vehicles, as this is the fastest, cheapest, and most sustainable way out of traffic.

Dress sustainably Choosing alternative ways to dress is also a way to reduce GHG emissions. The fashion industry contributes around 8 to 10 per cent of global carbon emissions, but freight from large companies is one of the biggest villains in the fashion industry. Brittany, a teacher at Lexis English School, points out that older or second-hand clothes are much more durable than fabrics currently produced in the fast fashion industry.

During October this year Lexis English School promoted a Halloween contest between students and teachers, and 90 per cent of the costumes were made with both secondhand pieces and borrowed from students.

Some of the most significant and troubling Halloween-related issues are plastic waste and environmental pollution, to which the holiday can contribute. Thus, it is possible to make sustainable choices and find ways to reduce the carbon footprint with small daily actions, but that can make a difference for everyone’s future if everyone does their part.

Auctions stirs emotions

By Erle Levey It was a day filled with emotion - for buyers, sellers and the agents.

Warren Evans and Roger Omdahl of Laguna Real Estate had five registered bidders on Saturday for the auction of the one-bedroom, one-bathroom riverfront house at 45 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore.

It had been home to Eddie Vaughan for more than 20 years, a retired engineer who spent many hours clearing rubbish from the banks of the Noosa River.

This included a huge collection of fishing lures that had been lost, tangled or discarded by anglers.

The house, on 966sq m with jetty, slipway and long river views, saw auctioneer Justin Voss call for bidding at 11am Saturday.

The auction was held in front of Laguna’s Tewantin office.

Warren rang the bell in the traditional way to start proceedings.

“There were people in the street,’’ Warren said.

“Eddie’s family was in attendance.

“There were people everywhere and away it

went. Justin did a fabulous job.

“A local bidder registered on the Friday and got bidding away.

“Justin then took it to $2m on behalf of the vendors.

“There were three active bidders and he sought further instructions at $2.220m.’’

Bidders were from the Darling Downs, Brisbane and local, and activity quickly heated up.

“Five-60 over two,’’ the auctioneer called, “yabba dabba do.’’

Yet there was more to come - 2.6, 2.610 then finally the knock-out of $2.650m.

It was the locals who won out on the day and there were tears of joy as well as emotion from buyers, sellers and just maybe the agents because Eddie was so well known in the community.

It was a great finish to an exciting year for Warren who also sold the River House by auction, which was virtually next door.

And his golden rule?

“Treat others as you want to be treated.’’

Noosa Chamber steps up to build member services The Noosa Chamber of Commerce plans to make enhanced services to its members a major focus in 2023.

“We’ll be holding a series of member events and learning workshops to assist with running businesses and networking. And our new website is almost ready to go live, which will be easier for members to use and for new members to join,” said Chamber president Ralph Rogers at the Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry December annual general meeting.

Ralph Rogers outlined the 2022 achievements including a new Chamber strategy and road map, an Adopt a Worker program devised to facilitate housing for key workers for which funding is being sought, regular coffee mornings and sunset events for members, and establishing strong engagement

with Noosa Council.

“We meet regularly with Noosa’s Mayor, chief executive officer and council economic development staff on our members’ behalf to discuss and advocate for our resident businesses and the broader community,” Mr Rogers said.

“For this purpose we provided council with Chamber-funded expert reports comparing Noosa Council’s performance with like councils and an assessment of council’s annual budget, both of which we will continue providing in 2023-24 in conjunction with the Hastings Street Association and Noosaville Business Association.

“In 2023-2024 we will build on that foundation of activities and engagement, by enhancing member services and being a strong voice

‘50s boyhood remembered

By Phil Jarratt “Dear Max, when you left home you promised to write, and tell us about your wonderful flight.

“The plane and the pilots and the hostesses too, and all that you learned upfront with the crew…”

Thus begins the somewhat poetic first letter Maurice Bannah ever wrote to his son, Max, on 10 April 1954, a couple of weeks since the sickly seven-year-old had left his family in steamy Cairns to live with relatives in Sydney, where it was hoped the milder climate might ease his chronic bronchial condition.

The gently chiding letter, illustrated with Mickey Mouse and Goofy cartoon drawings he had copied from a comic book, is a strangely eloquent and moving missive from a man who had little education but a natural gift for art and design, and whose love for his little boy shines through the jokiness of the aerogram’s single page.

Any parent would feel as Maurice felt, but few would have expressed it in such a torrent of love, laughter and no doubt tears, as the talented Mr Bannah Sr did.

And those kept letters from nearly 70 years ago provide the perfect platform for Max, now a 75-year-old Boreen Point retiree, to launch into a delightful illustrated memoir of three years of early childhood spent away from his parents and siblings in unfamiliar city and bush environments.

The best memoirs are like jigsaw puzzles in which key pieces guide you to the bigger picture, a life explained through episodes that have defined it.

In Three Times My Grandmother Called Me a Liar, Max Bannah achieves that objective by focusing on three defining and difficult childhood years, and tells us so much more about himself, his family and his time and place.

Of course no one who keeps abreast of the local literary community should be surprised at this.

Just last year Max designed and illustrated the beautifully presented local history, Boreen Point… Not Just Any Small Town, written and researched by wife Sylvia Bannah.

Together for more than 50 years, the Bannahs had rich and fulfilling creative lives in London and Brisbane, she as an academic, he as an animator and illustrator, a bit like Dad’s dream life, before retiring to Boreen Point in 2012.

The book covers the years 1954-56 during which young Max lived with an aunt in a southern suburb of Sydney, and with his aging grandparents at Carmila and St Lawrence on the Central Queensland coast, experiencing life in the big smoke, on a small property and in a declining rural town.

Although the excitement of Sydney was intoxicating for a seven-year-old, particularly after seeing his matinee idol Hopalong Cassidy live on stage at a local theatre, Max’s book really comes to life when he is sent to live with his paternal grandparents, Mabel and Frank Bannah, at Carmila Glen, a small property south of Mackay.

Grandma Mabel is an interesting character

The run to the dunny at Carmila Glen.

Playing euchre with the grandies.

Max Bannah with his new memoir. more than a decade older than her husband, the daughter of French-Canadian migrants whose obsession with Max telling the truth at all times – where the book’s title comes in - masks a rather economical use of it herself.

Grandad Frank is a gentle, likeable soul, also with a colouful and slightly checkered past, whose passion for the demon drink only becomes apparent to Max when Grandma throws him out, banished to their town house in St Lawrence.

While adult Max is honest about the failings of his grandparents, little Max wanders dreamily through the landscape, his fascination with his carers and their environment portrayed in heartfelt prose and black and white illustrations that perfectly evoke 1950s’ rural Australia.

Grandad goes to vote.

When Max and Sylvia retired to Boreen Point a decade ago, the downsizing from their Brisbane home meant eliminating many belongings they no longer needed, but Dad’s illustrated letters came with them.

“High on the list of must-keep things was the album containing my father’s letters,” Max said.

“After some time I decided to deposit it with the State Library, but before handing it over, I felt the letters would be more meaningful if I explained why they had been written and added what I could recall of the three years they covered.”

This was the genesis of Three Times My Grandmother Called Me A Liar.

In his postscript titled Things I know now that I didn’t know then, Max writes: “Once, in

my adult years, when I asked Dad about the effort he had made with his letters, he said, ‘I just did it to keep in touch with you.’ I’d like to think the ‘it’ was more than just wanting to stay in touch.

“If there is a silver lining to my early years of chronic illness, it is surely the power of his letters to reveal something fine – a deep moral core shaped by love and generosity – my father’s best-self acting on instinct.”

This well-crafted book about family could be described similarly - a dutiful son reflecting honestly and lovingly on the events and the elders who helped shape him.

Three Times, launched by former Noosa mayor Bob Abbot in Boreen Point this week, is available at all good book stores. For further information email boreenbooks@gmail.com

The magic of music was there for all to see and enjoy.

The ability of song to bring people together and lift their spirits was welcome after such a challenging year.

Young and old, residents and visitors ... the Noosa Carols Cruise last Friday evening drew exceptional tributes from first-timers as well as those in the community who are making it an annual event.

Picnics were packed and rugs set out at vantage points along the Noosa River from Tewantin to Noosa Heads as the Noosa Ferry’s Miss Tewantin glided along the waters.

On board were the Sunshine Coast Oriana Choirs small ensemble, singing carols from throughout the ages at riverside parks.

At the same time the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir were singing at three of the parks Ravenwood, Noosa West and Noosa Heads Lions Park.

The ferry also stopped at Settlers Cove landing.

Following the ferry was a flotilla of water craft - power boats and party pontoons, water skis - even Noosa’s gondolier.

Reed & Co founding director Adrian Reed said it was an outstanding event.

“It was a huge success and the largest turnout yet, both on the water and in the parks.

“The community’s response has been well received and nothing short of amazing.

“It warmed my heart to see so much effort the community went to with decorating their boats, gathering at the stops in their Christmas spirit attire and hosting friends and family at their waterfront properties just for the Carol Cruise.

“We cannot praise the Oriana Choir enough as their harmonic voices travelled along the river in harmony and lifted the Christmas spirit of many.

“The Sunshine Coast Youth Choir was a lovely surprise for the patrons who joined us at one of the four parkland stops as they sung

For Sunshine Coast Oriana Choir president Melissa Innes, it was a wonderful opportunity to be part of such an event.

“It’s a broad grin of happiness.

“It’s about the feeling of giving, and just being able to use the talent you were fortunate to be born with - to share with others and bring them seemingly a great amount of happiness.

“Watching our youth choir on the shore, and the joy of the children in taking part in something as rewarding and uplifting as community Christmas carols, was also inspiring and extremely fulfilling.

“It was especially rewarding to see hardworking members of the community taking some time out to relax and indulge in a bit of Christmas joy - the faces in the boats and lining the shores were just beaming as they listened to us sing … it felt so good.’’

The performance by Oriana from the top deck of the ferry reflected the adaptability, commitment, and passion of the singers for sharing their voices.

“It’s such a special group of utterly dedicated singers that come together to make this music,’’ Ms Innes said. “I feel indebted to them all.

“We are grateful that businesses such as Reed & Co, AV partners and Noosa Ferries care about and value their role in the community so much that they would invest in an event like this. “Well done to them and congratulations to their team on bringing such joy to their community.’’

The Hotseat Michael Gloster

Reconciliation in practice A newsletter outlining the Noosa Parks Association position on the controversial Cooloola Great Walk ecotourism project sent sparks flying across social media platforms this month. PHIL JARRATT sat NPA’s veteran leader and currently honorary projects officer MICHAEL GLOSTER in the NT Hotseat to further explain the background.

Putting your name on the Parks Association newsletter about Cooloola Great Walk gave the project’s opponents a free hit by allowing them to claim that this was your view rather than the NPA’s.

Can you clarify where the NPA majority sits on this issue?

There is a diversity of comfort level among our membership. Some are very comfortable, some less so, but we’ve had no resignations and very little public or private expression of concern by members. There is a level of trust that we’ll work it through. NPA has not received a single negative member response to my latest newsletter report.

Given that Noosa Parks Association’s entire history has been devoted to creating national parks that pretty much follow the cardinal principle, don’t you think this issue warrants a membership vote?

The 60-year-old culture at NPA is that leaders lead by doing what is right, not necessarily what is popular in the wider community. Culturally, we sort things out internally through respectful discussion, not votes.

The two principles on a collision course here are effectively the cardinal principle of national parks versus Native Title. Can you see any situation where the cardinal principle could override Native Title?

Every situation needs to be treated on its merits. In this case, we judged that neither principle should over-ride the other.

If the environmental lobby beat this up into another Franklin River, do you think the Queensland government would have to seek a political solution?

This won’t get anywhere near that.

We know that the Kabi Kabi people have voted in favour of this land use, but we also know that their leadership has expressed the desire to restrict traffic on the beach. Is that part of the blurring that often seems to surround this project?

What a lot of people don’t realise about the Indigenous Land Use Agreement between Kabi Kabi and the government is that the beach is part of it, which makes Kabi Kabi a very powerful voice in the matter of managing beach camping and driving numbers. Far more people across the Noosa-Cooloola community are concerned about the disgrace that beach camping and driving has become than are

Noosa Parks Association’s Michael Gloster. worried by about the latest great walk proposal. There is no blurring here. Both are in play as part of the government-Kabi Kabi land use agreement.

Some environmental leaders and some Kabi elders have gone public with the view that they want to abolish Native Title and replace it with some form of sovereignty.

Is this a red herring?

For them it’s not, it’s a passionate cause. However, a clear majority of environmental leaders and Kabi Kabi elders do not support it. The recent Kabi Kabi vote to their Indigenous Land Use Agreement was 80 per cent for, 20 per cent against. Almost all the 20 per cent voting against the ILUA favour sovereignty over Native Title.

Can you shed any light on why the key decision makers have entered a cone of silence?

The process proscribed under the Australian Native Title Tribunal is that once the ILUA is signed by the parties, it is sent to the tribunal which triggers a 60-day period in which any eligible person can launch an appeal or make a submission that the process hasn’t been conducted properly. Only Kabi Kabi people can appeal or make a submission. That’s the reason for the cone of silence until the ILUA is registered.

If the Cooloola Great Walk goes ahead with some form of CABN’s glamping model, can Cooloola World Heritage listing ever happen, or is collateral damage?

Now that the proposed Great Walk has been revised to avoid ecologically sensitive areas, it does not threaten the cultural or ecological values UNESCO will judge Cooloola’s World Heritage re-nomination on. Once great walk sites were relocated well away from Cooloola’s patterned fens adjacent to the upper Noosa River and perched lakes like Lake Poona, the proposed Great Walk is no longer potential col-

The Cooloola Walk. lateral damage. Kabi Kabi leaders are strongly supportive of World Heritage Listing for Cooloola, and the recent ILUA will strengthen the chances of realising it.

What role would you like to see the Parks Association playing as this moves forward?

Well, the background to the answer is that Kabi Kabi looked after country for many thousands of years before the Europeans arrived 200 years ago and started shunting them off it. Then 60 years ago we showed up (NPA) and started building a structure of national parks of 80,000 hectares in Noosa and 70,000 in Cooloola. To achieve that we had to knock down sand mining, water mining, coastal subdivisions from here to Rainbow Beach, tourist resorts, pastoral leases and jet airports. Most of these would have led to the affected land being

Picture: DES freehold, and so not be eligible for Native Title.

So, without really knowing it at the time, we held open the prospect for Kabi Kabi Native Title over Cooloola.

We’re hopeful these achievements give us street cred as we reach out to progressive sections of the Noosa community to join with us in building an improved Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park, one we can all be proud of, one that can enhance the natural and cultural values of Cooloola rather detract from them, one that can enable Kabi Kabi people’s Cooloola aspirations rather than stifle them, one that can become an exemplar of practical reconciliation between Kabi-Kabi peoples and the wider Noosa-Cooloola community.

NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

NEWS

As published in The Parks Association Newsletter The Queensland Government and Kabi Kabi peoples, the traditional owners of the Cooloola Section of Great Sandy National Park, signed a Cooloola Great Walk Indigenous Land Use Agreement on 12 November, 2022.

This historic agreement is for a six-day great walk from camp site three on the Upper Noosa River to Rainbow Beach, and a threeday great walk from Rainbow Beach to Double Island Point and Lake Poona returning to Rainbow Beach, providing over-night catered accommodation to paying guests. The longer walk will have five accommodation sites, the shorter walk will use two of these five sites.

Each of the sites is close to but hidden from the existing public Cooloola Great Walk trail that runs between Noosa North Shore and Rainbow Beach. Earlier proposals to locate sites adjacent to ecologically sensitive sites at Lake Poona and the Upper Noosa River have been abandoned, and now all five sites have a modest ecological footprint.

When the Queensland Government called for commercial expressions of interest for the provision of a Cooloola Great Walk, two principles were set on a potential collision course: The prime purpose of National Parks such as Cooloola is the conservation of natural and cultural values, and hence should remain free of commercially provided over-night catered accommodation. This principle has

·

Michael Gloster with Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon. been widely followed for over a century.

Traditional Owners of Cooloola, Kabi Kabi · he peoples, have a moral and legal right to coown and co-manage Cooloola with the State, and to benefit culturally and financially from a commercial Cooloola Great Walk with overnight catered accommodation. This

principle flows from the advent of Native Title in the early 1990s.

With the State Government committed to proceeding with a commercially provided Cooloola Great Walk subject to Kabi Kabi people’s support, the choice for those with an interest in Cooloola’s future became clear - either sup-

port one of the above principles at the expense of the other or support a middle ground balance that retains the most important aspects of both.

Noosa Parks Association favours such a middle ground balanced approach.

The key Cooloola Great Walk decision makers are Kabi Kabi peoples, the Queensland Government, and CABN – the company selected by the government to develop the CGW following an expression of interest process.

As opportunities arose, NPA has held conversations with all three key decision makers exploring the ways and means of achieving a commercial Cooloola Great Walk we can all be proud off, one that can enhance the natural and cultural values of the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park rather than detract from them, one that can enable Kabi Kabi people’s Cooloola aspirations rather than stifle them, one that can become an exemplar of practical reconciliation between Kabi-Kabi peoples and the wider Noosa-Cooloola community.

It’s still early days. From here on in the devil will be in the detail. But on balance, so far, so good.

Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach.

The right to protest We are living in increasingly dangerous times.

Not only are we facing cataclysmic consequences from climate disruption, but the four eastern states have passed anti-protest

legislation to make it illegal to inconvenience the public during protests. Recently, a young protester was jailed for eight months for stopping traffic for 25 minutes on one of the seven lanes of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to draw attention to the urgency of action on climate change.

The argument presented by several conservative politicians is that protesters should not have the right to inconvenience citizens going about their daily business. So, one has to ask, which is the more inconvenient, to be delayed a few minutes in traffic because a citizen is demanding action on climate change, or the people whose homes have been destroyed by

fire or flood over the past few years because not enough action has been taken to lessen the effects of climate change? Both of these inconveniences were preventable but the former only occurred because the latter was allowed.

Many citizens are trying their best to reduce their carbon footprint by driving and flying less, using solar hot water, installing PVCs, cooking with induction, or eating less meat. More advanced activity is epitomised by Noosa’s Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) who are promoting energy efficiency, renewable energy and community batteries with the objective of bringing the Noosa Shire community to net zero carbon emissions by 2026.

Many large businesses, including AGL, have seen the writing on the wall and are gearing up to abandon fossil fuels. All this won’t be sufficient, however, to stop catastrophic climate disruption unless governments take much firmer action, including the cessation of grants for further oil, coal and gas projects and stopping the fossil fuel subsidies, which reached $11.6B this past year. No one knows when the tipping point is reached until it is too late to do anything about it and that point is not far over the horizon, or perhaps we have passed it.

Willows will delight Little Seed Theatre Company invites you to “take the adventure and heed the call,“ as they present The Wind in the Willows in the Noosa Botanical Gardens at the amphitheatre this summer.

Well known for their annual Shakespeare at the Lake, Little Seed Theatre Company is bringing the much loved classic tale of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger back to the amphitheatre after a successful run of shows last February.

Curtis Bock, plays Toad, the conceited, selfish and extremely wealthy lord of Toad Hall bringing the character to life with humour and style.

“It is great fun to play this character,“ Bock said.

“Willows was my favourite story as a child and I loved Toad. Bringing him to life onstage is sheer joy.“ Fast paced and full of humour, The Wind in the Willows is bursting with whimsy and wit and has plenty to amuse audiences of all ages.

A perfect family outing the show will have parents and grandparents in stitches while also appealing to younger audience members.

Playing January 14,15, 21 and 22 at 5pm, this is a perfect event to pack a picnic dinner and head to the Botanical Gardens for an evening of entertainment, ending just before sunset.

Tickets are available via little-seed.com.au

The Noosa Irish night returns to Flanagan’s Noosa Reef on Wednesday 21 December with music starting at 6pm.

Singer songwriter, and guitarist Alan Kelly is Dublin-born and sings original, traditional folk and refreshing and skilful interpretations of well known songs. His songwriting talents have won him several awards including the Queensland Music Award for World music.

Notably, he has recorded as a soloist for the Lord of the Rings soundtrack working with Howard Shore and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

Alan is also the front man and driving force behind the Celtic folk rock band, the Barleyshakes, and his energy as a performer never fails to captivate his audience.

Joining Alan on the night as always is multi-instrumentalist Steve Cook.

Steve is a master musician and plays lively jigs and reels on mandolin and fiddle. He also busts out his self crafted electric guitar to accompany Alan’s songs.

Entry is free and it’s a family friendly venue where all ages are welcome until 9pm.

Noiseworks are returning to the stage after 30 years A revived 1980s rock band is heading to the Sunshine Coast for its only performance in regional Queensland.

At last, Noiseworks will return to the stage after 30 years as part of their aptly named Take Me Back Tour.

The group is dedicating the tour to their guitarist Stuart Chet Fraser who passed away in 2019.

In a tribute to Chet, former Southern Sons frontman, Jack Jones, has joined the band.

The rockers will be playing all their classic hits, including Touch, No Lies, Hot Chilli Woman and, of course, Take Me Back, alongside other fan favourites. This will be their only show in regional Queensland and for one night only.

This tour comes hot off the heels of their number one-charting hit Heart and Soul as the lead single from their new studio album Evolution, released in November 2022.

The album came as a long-awaited gift to

Venue 114 Manager Louise Thompson said

she was looking forward to welcoming the band to the Sunshine Coast “Our performance stage is purpose-built to host music gigs and we are delighted to have these Australian rock legends on that stage,” Ms Thompson said.

“We fully expect a sell-out crowd of 1400 and the energy from our patrons combined with the powerful vocals of Jon, the musicality of the band and the tribute to Chet is going to make for a special night!”

Black Sorrows are coming Put Sunday 15 January in your diary for what will be a sensational show when one of Australia’s most prolific and enduringly popular bands, the legendary Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows take to the stage in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi.

Any examination of The Black Sorrows comes down to one person – Joe Camilleri, frontman and the brains behind the band.

Recently awarded living legend status by Rolling Stone, Joe’s career spans an astonishing 50-plus years.

As a singer, songwriter, saxophonist and producer, Joe Camilleri is considered one of the most genuinely talented figures in Australian music still at the top of his game.

Songs such as So Young, Hit And Run, Shape I’m In, Hold On To Me, Harley and Rose, Chained To The Wheel, Never Let Me Go and The Chosen Ones have become radio staples.

As leader of two of Australia’s most successful bands, Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons and The Black Sorrows, Joe’s music has become part of Australian music culture.

Joe was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 2007. Over the years other greats have admired Camilleri’s songwriting.

Elvis Costello and John Denver are just two who have recorded cover versions of Joe’s music.

Camilleri launched The Black Sorrows, a loose band of like-minded musicians, in 1984 following the demise of his seminal band Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons the year before.

From humble beginnings playing inner-city cafes around Melbourne and selling albums from the boot of a car, Camilleri transformed The Black Sorrows into one of the most sophisticated ensembles in the country.

The independently released album Dear Children, represented a turning point once

Joe Camilleri is considered one of the most genuinely talented figures in Australian music.

The legendary Joe Camilleri.

The Black Sorrows still average 150 shows a year.

CBS/Sony stepped in with a world-wide deal.

When radio picked up the classic track, Mystified, The Black Sorrows really took flight releasing multi-platinum sellers Hold On To Me, Harley and Rose and The Chosen Ones.

The Black Sorrows have won the ARIA for Best Band, played sell-out shows across Eu-

rope and sold more than two million albums worldwide.

The Black Sorrows still average 150 shows a year and since 2014 have included Europe on their touring schedule. In keeping with Joe’s penchant for continually moving forward, the newest version of The Black Sorrows is a

formidable one – Claude Carranza (guitar/ vocals), Mark Gray (bass/vocals), James Black (keyboards/vocals) and Tony Floyd (drums).

TICKETS: $40 (+ booking fee) pre-sale through Oztix or $45 at the door unless sold out.

18+ event. Doors open 5pm.

Peter Meares plays longshot in debut mystery novel

By Phil Jarratt To say that veteran sports broadcaster and journalist Peter Meares’ first novel, Long Shot, gets along at a rattling pace is to vastly undersell it.

Consider the following: black South African batting prodigy Winston Olonga is at the crease at the Sydney Cricket Ground, needing three runs for his maiden century while South Africa need just 45, with three wickets in hand, to win the test match outright.

“As long as Winston Olonga stays at the crease, South Africa should cruise home,” says commentator Lucas Fox, dropping his voice back to a whisper to turn up the tension.

“Now Olonga settles over his bat. A glance around the field… But wait…he’s collapsed!

Olonga has fallen on his stumps! My God… he hasn’t moved a muscle. Something’s dreadfully wrong. Oh my God, this isn’t possible. Olonga has blood all over his face. I think he’s been shot!”

Dead as a dodo in fact, and that’s just page one!

In no time at all we’ll discover that the late young Winston not only knew how to wield the willow but could bowl the ladies over too, having impregnated beautiful young Australian sports reporter Melody Carter, and that Indian cricket boss and high stakes gambler Buddi Kunderan is also a paedophile who, in order to protect his reputation, has arranged the batsman’s assassination by a hitman.

Plenty to be going on with here for cricket commentator Fox, who also doubles as a private eye, and Mearesy is only getting started!

Far fetched? Yes, of course.

A ripping holiday read, especially for the cricket tragics? Hell yeah! I’ve made my Christmas stocking order.

And speaking of far-fetched, the hero of this writer’s one and only novel was a cokesnorting Australian marathon runner having a wild affair with the beautiful daughter of Australia’s biggest media baron, who is not happy.

Peter Meares.

Picture: SUPPLIED

On his way to winning gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Deet is shot dead as he runs the final metres into the Coliseum, thought to be the work of a hitman.

My bloke survived until the last page, but when it comes to far-fetched, I know of what I speak.

And while my publisher missed his mark and published the book after the ’84 Olympics, Peter’s are rushing his out with perfect timing for the white ball holiday madness.

Coolum-based Peter Meares will be a familiar face to many readers following a long and illustrious 50-year career in radio and TV, where his first highlight came as ABC sport

Book cover. anchor at the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games.

He later spent many years with the Seven network and finished off his broadcasting career as a freelancer for pay TV networks.

But Peter has also spent the past 20 years building a reputation as the author of some fine sports books, including the best-selling Tracey Wickham biography, Treading Water.

Not to mention the fact that he is also a much-in-demand celebrity speaker.

Long Shot, published by Austin Macaulay, is his first crack at fiction and, not surprisingly, he draws on his vast experience of cricket, from being a first grade player until he re-

Peter Meares with his first novel.

Picture: SUPPLIED tired at 22 to become a broadcaster, where he spent many years in the commentary booth with the giants of the game.

In fact, the novel’s hero Lucas Fox has a not dissimilar background.

The book was launched by iconic sports commentator Gordon Bray at the Noosa Rugby Union Club this week, and is available through Dymocks and online through Amazon.

Reviews are just pawfect

By Abbey Cannan Standard poodles, Eligh and Bacardi are regulars on the culinary scene when visiting Noosa from the Gold Coast.

During a recent trip to the region, the boys decided to show their appreciation to their favourite restaurants, awarding them the Poodle Paddle of Pawfection, or better referred to as the Outstanding Restaurant of 2022.

Pet owner Evelyn Williams said a total of 10 awards were given out, including three in Noosa.

“They were all worthy award winners,” she said.

YoYo Bar and Restaurant was the first port of call for the poodle boys when arriving in Noosa.

“What better way to settle in to a Noosa holiday than sipping on a cold glass of wine selected from their three wine glass awarded collection and overlooking a sunset on the magnificent Noosa River,” Evelyn said.

“It’s easy to fall in love with YoYo’s Tapas menu, whether starting with the mouthwatering charred king prawns in a verde beurre Blanc where it is perfectly acceptable to drink that buttery goodness up with a straw at the end of the dish, or finishing it with a classic Creme Catalan.

“You will not leave disappointed.

“It’s not only the food that makes YoYo, it is the whole team that elevates our experience from good to exceptional. The loyal front of house staff are friendly, knowledgeable and best of all know how to make an outstanding cocktail. The master solo chef Marc cheffing away in the background, creating delicious meals time and time again with his signature look of determination when peeping out over the pass.”

Eligh and Bacardi lay at the top of the stairs, trying adoringly to win the love of fellow diners by greeting and farewelling them, assuming the role of head waiter.

The second recipient of the Poodle’s Outstanding Restaurants of 2022 was to 250 Grammi in Noosaville.

“This Italian restaurant situated opposite the Noosa River is a gem you do not want to miss when visiting Noosa,” Evelyn said.

“250 Grammi truely excels with some of our Italian favourites, which include Vitello Tonnato, grilled spatchcock, a delicious prawn, citrus

“The chefs hand-make their handkerchief pasta, which is served with crab meat and is like a pillow in your mouth.

“The staff are efficient and friendly and always greet the Poodles with the decorum they deserve.”

The third recipient of the Poodle Eats Outstanding Restaurants of 2022 was Gusto Noosa.

Gusto’s is situated on the corner of Gympie Terrace and Edward Street and is a Noosa institution having opened in 1999.

“We have been dining there since its incep-

tion with many memorable meals over the years,” Evelyn said.

“A change of ownership by Frenchman Tim Lepoutre has only enhanced the decor to new heights, with a beautiful private dining room added to the restaurant.

“The food has always excelled and even with a recent change of chef, nothing has changed in the quality of the food.

“There is something special about sitting at Gustos, wine in hand, apple tarte tatin ready to be enjoyed, overlooking the river that will always hold a special place in my heart.

“The staff at Gustos are some of the best in the business, their knowledge of the menu and attention to guests is second to none. It’s always a pleasure to dine at Gusto and the staff love our Poodles.”

The boys are frequent visitors to Noosa, if they are not out dining on Gympie Terrace or Peregian Beach, you’ll most likely find them either swimming, paddle boarding or boating on the river.

To keep up with Eligh and Bacardi, follow the Poodles Instagram ‘@Poodle.eats’ and keep an eye out for next year’s award recipients.

Organika launches natural spring water refill station and refill their own bottles at Organika’s Water Station or can choose to buy one of the reusable and recyclable bottles available in store.

Program manager of Plastic Free Noosa, Peita Otterbach said, “It is estimated close to a 3 million single-use plastic water bottles are sold in Noosa Shire every year, with over 80 per cent destined for landfill or polluting our waterways and foreshore. Choosing to reuse and refusing to buy single-use plastic water bottles is the best long term solution.”

“Organika’s Water Station has the potential to prevent close to 10,000 600ml singleuse water bottles from circulation in just one week, that’s 520,000 per year.”

“Organika is a Plastic Free Noosa Champion business who continue to expand on their environmentally sustainable operations - the Water Station is just one example of their impressive efforts.”

The Water Station is now one of four refilling stations available at Organika making it easier for the community to achieve or work towards a zero waste lifestyle by eradicating single-use plastics and packaging from their everyday lives.

Customers can bring their own reusable containers and refill with: Bulk raw ingredients and wholefoods.

Chemical and toxic free cleaning solutions.

Natural personal care products.

Pure natural local spring water.

Located at Shop 2/3 Gibson Road in Noosaville, Organika opened its doors 15 years ago and was the first organic healthfood store in the Noosa region.

Organika continues to be the trusted onestop-shop for fresh organic and local produce as well as ethically and fair-trade sourced,

sustainable ingredients and products catering for all dietary requirements including vegan, dairy and gluten free.

The range of products has expanded over the years to now include everything from bulk raw ingredients and unpacked wholefoods, baby and mother care to pet supplies and personal care including an array of vitamins and supplements for every stage of life.

A naturopath is also on hand daily to answer any questions and guide customers to achieve their ultimate health and wellbeing goals.

Organika also incorporates a cafe serving organic cold pressed juices made daily, vegan and gluten free in house made food and treats plus a range of health tonics and healthy grab and go meals - a favourite for locals on the way to work and visitors walking to Noosa River only five minutes away.

Organika has encouraged the community to ditch single-use plastic water bottles with the launch of a natural spring water refill station.

The Noosa community and visitors can now refill their reusable bottles with Mt Beerwah Natural Spring Water available on-tap at Organika’s recently commissioned Water Station.

“Water is an absolute essential for overall health and wellbeing,“ Organika owner and operator Dan Gladki said.

“Our search for the best water in Australia led us close to home, the Glass House Mountains. A natural wonder that boasts the purest water on earth.”

Speaking about the launch, Will Neill from Mt Beerwah Natural Spring Water said, “We are delighted to deliver Noosa’s first natural spring water refill station to the team at Organika.“ “We are proud to support a longstanding, locally-owned and run family business who share the same passion for environmental sustainability and community health and wellbeing as we do.

“Providing the community with the ability to refill their bottles with quality, pure natural spring water sourced locally from the Glass House Mountains hinterland compliments Organika’s very impressive range of certified organic and sustainably sourced products.”

Filtered naturally through the earth, arising pure and pristine direct from the spring, Organika’s Water Station allows customers to refill with local spring water naturally containing essential minerals, electrolytes, and antioxidants. Ethically sourced, the pure spring water is chemical and additive-free.

Where there is a will, Easy as ABC for former there’s a wave for migrants star footballer Robran Forty-five Sunshine Coast migrant residents took the plunge and came out swimmingly after successfully completing Sunshine Coast Council and Royal Life Saving Society Queensland’s Migrant Learn to Swim and Beach Safe Program over the past seven weeks.

Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said council, in partnership with the Royal Life Saving Society Queensland, were able to offer the highly successful program for the fourth year.

“Participants had the opportunity to learn basic swimming techniques and improve their water confidence skills,” Cr Law said.

“The program concluded with a beach safety session earlier this month to get participants ready to enjoy the wonderful beaches we have on offer on the Sunshine Coast this summer.”

Royal Life Saving Society Queensland executive director Paul Barry congratulated all participants on completing the program.

“Participants learnt floating and survival techniques as well as how to swim,” Mr Barry said.

“At the beach safety session, participants

were taught vital beach safety skills about the ocean, safe and unsafe swimming locations (remember to always swim between the yellow and red flags) and learnt about rips and currents.”

Program participant Maria, from Mountain Creek, completed the program this month after moving to the Sunshine Coast from Argentina.

“I registered for the program to improve my swimming technique and am so happy I did,” Maria said.

“The program has made a big difference in my swimming techniques, and it was a great way to meet new people.

“All the participants in the program were like me and were at the same level as me which made us all feel very comfortable knowing we were all on the same page and wanted to learn more.”

44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 December, 2022

By Peter Owen Rodney Robran, a member of one of Adelaide’s most famous AFL families, never quite brought the talent he displayed on the football field to the fairways of Noosa Springs in the 50-odd rounds he’d played there over the past five years.

Not, that is, until he lined up last week for this year’s Peter Millar A, B and C Grade Championship, one of Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort’s premier events.

Showing levels of skill, concentration and consistency that he was hardly aware he possessed, Rodney put together stableford scores of 36, 37 and 43 over three rounds to streak away for a 10-point victory in an event he’d competed in for the last five years.

“The previous best score I’d ever had in any single round was 32 points,” said Rodney, 70, who has lived on the Gold Coast for the past 26 years.

“I hadn’t played much golf leading up to the A, B and C championship – just a round at Bargara and a bucket of balls at Palm Meadows – and maybe that made the difference,” he said.

“I just played really well, kept the ball on the fairway and made a few putts. And on the final day, well, it was just one of those days. I found myself one-over-par after eight holes.”

From 1970 to 1983, Rodney was a star AFL footballer with North Adelaide, playing in the club’s 1972 premiership team, winning the 1976 best and fairest award, and captaining the side in 1980 and 1981. In all, he played 184 senior games and kicked 312 goals.

His elder brother Barrie Robran has been described as the most gifted footballer to have ever played the game. He won three Magarey Medals, seven straight best and

In 2001 he was given Legend status by the AFL – the only player so honoured without having played in Melbourne.

Rodney’s nephews, Matthew and Jonathon were also outstanding footballers, Matthew representing Hawthorn and Adelaide, and Jonathon playing for Hawthorn and Essendon.

Thunder dominates ovals

By Randall Woodley Last Saturday was the first day of the final round of two-day matches for 2022.

After next Saturday the players will take a break and start again on Saturday 7 January.

There were some great performances at the weekend by Thunder players with centuries by each of the Third-Grade openers, Richard Lee and Brendan Wright and a sixwicket haul for young Second Grade bowler, Josh Christensen.

Under 15 player Bailey Hozier also scored a quick fire 90 in his Junior Match. With the final day next Saturday, most of the Thunder teams are in sound positions to end the year with wins.

FIRST GRADE: The team was at home at Read Park against Coolum Sharks who are a team of younger players plus a couple of very experienced cricketers. Thunder was asked to field first which suited their plans.

Opening bowler Tom Stewart cracked them open immediately, as usual, with a wicket third ball and another in his second over, just giving the fielders catching practice. There is no one on the coast better with a new ball and it’s unbelievable how many wickets Tom Stewart takes in his first two-three overs every week.

He finished with 3-5 off eight overs. Talon Reichert (2-16) and the two Ben’s, Claypole (315) and Laughlin (2-16) joined in to have them 6-31 soon after drinks.

They battled to be all out for 72 in the second session. 58 overs left in the day and the plan was pretty clear for Thunder to obtain a lead and have an hour bowling in the late afternoon.

Thunder were 2-10 early but on what was a pretty good batting wicket the batsmen scored freely. They declared on 6-168 off 35 overs.

Runs were shared around between Jake Dennien (38), Jarrod Officer (37), Blake Steel (21), Cooper Lea (24*) and Dom Taylor (34*).

That left Thunder a minimum of 20 overs to bowl.

As expected, Tom Stewart (another Scotty Bowland?) took the new ball and snagged a wicket first ball of the innings. From then on it was a grind, Coolum defending every ball to be 27 off 21 overs before three boundaries in the last over with everyone crowding the bat. They finished the day 1-39 (still 57 runs behind). Excellent bowling again and the game is well set up to push for the outright next week.

SECOND GRADE: The team played a day/ night game against Coolum at their ground and was asked to bowl first on a dry pitch.

Josh Christensen got an early breakthrough followed by Ben Shaw which had Coolum 2-6.

Robbie Payton got a wicket with his first ball and the score was 3-21. Coolum then built a

After the tea break, Christensen came back into the attack picking up a further five wickets (included being on a hat-trick and a brilliant caught and bowled) to end the day with 6 for 16..... Well done, Josh on career best figures.

Coolum ended their innings on 9 for 181.

Other wicket takers were Robbie Payton 1-35 and Ben Shaw 2-23.

Thunder only faced three overs late at night but will be ready next Saturday striving for at least a first innings win.

THIRD GRADE: The team hosted Caboolture at home and was sent into bat on a sticky wicket. The openers played patiently, negotiating the initial jagging of the ball and

·

with the slow start, Thunder was just short of 50 by first drinks.

When their opening bowlers were replaced the Thunder batsmen accelerated as the loose balls came more regularly.

Fortunately their bowlers were not good enough to bowl consistently and the two batsmen, Brendan Wright and Richard Lee set about achieving milestones -100 partnership, then 150 partnership and their sights were then set on the club high for the season so far of 186. The great partnership ended on 256.

Both openers scored 100s, Wright 101 from 198 balls and Richard Lee 124 from 202 balls and set the team up for the team’s highest total for the season at 3-304 after 76 overs. A great foundation for next week and an understand-

ing that the job is only half done.

FIFTH GRADE: The team had a tough afternoon against the Maroochydore Swans. The Swans batted all afternoon and at stumps were 3 down for 233. Wicket takers for Thunder were Kent Officer, David Lyons and Jordan Lane.

SIXTH GRADE: The boys were down at Palmwoods for the first of the two days and after winning the toss elected to bowl first. All the bowlers were on song especially Justin Latimer who bowled a great spell with figures of 6 over with 6 maidens. He was supported

by Wayne Moore with 4 wickets and Shane Gesell 3 for 27. Other wicket takers were Justin Talbot and Graham Chaplin. Palmwoods were all out for 146.

Great day for Outriggers

By Ron Lane Reading the flyer presented by the Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club, covering the annual River Race, it is no wonder that club president Bodo Lenitschek is feeling immensely proud of the club’s all round performance.

On both water and land, everything was first class. Scores of club members provided marshalling and catering, thus ensuring that the hundreds of visitors had a wonderful time in Noosa.

“Noosa’s Outrigger Canoe Club is a successful competitive club with great vibes and an excellent team of coaches. The event bears testimony to that,” said Lenitschek.

Clubs from all over the southeast corner, gathered at Chaplin Park to race over a Short Course 8km and Long Course 12km. Hundreds of competitors travelled from as far as the Fraser Coast, Surfers Paradise, Brisbane, Redcliffe, Mooloolaba, and Caloundra.

The park was packed with sleek hulled canoes and paddlers, all waiting for the racing to start following a safety briefing from the race director, Des Mabbot.

It was a windy day with a few showers, but the racing went off without a hitch. The events were conducted in strong southerly winds, which resulted in very tactical racing. The short course went from Chaplin Park, down river past the Sofitel, around the Sound and back under the Munna Point Bridge, then back up along a windy stretch to the finish line.

The long course had an additional lap of the Sound to evaluate the endurance of the competitors.

Outrigging is usually an open water sport, but this magnificent river race, which complements other events in our unique part of the world, is set to become a staple with many vantage points from which to watch these events.

Noosa finished the day with satisfactory results. In the Long course (12km) ladies’ division they won the Novice, Golden Masters and the Golden Masters Mixed Unlimited. Not to be outdone the men’s teams took out the Novice and Senior Masters Unlimited.

Short Course (8km) winners were Platinum Mixed, Novice Men, Senior Masters Men Unlimited, Golden Masters Men and Golden Masters Men Unlimited.As a courtesy from the club, for the uninitiated, they informed us of the following age divisions. The Opens- all adults 20 and above, Masters 40 and above, Senior Masters 50 and above, Golden Masters 60 and above, and Platinum Masters 70 and above.

As with Pickle Ball, the Outrigger Canoe Club provides great sporting fitness and socialising activity for all ages and not just the young. Thus, these sports are indeed something that should be encouraged supported, and above all, sponsored.

The next big event will be a regatta in Laguna Bay on 28 January. But for now, good luck and Merry Christmas to all.

Jennifer and Dianne Ladewig didn’t stop there, picking up two more gold medals in the U17 girls long jump and the regional Sunshine Coast U17 representative team.

There were many vantage points to watch the race on the river.

Our U9 mixed high jump team, Zachary Nielsen and Macie Rankin won gold, U10 boys high jump, Hervey Zegers and Ben Clayton won silver. Under 14 boys long jump Ben Parker and Luca Gerrard won silver. Great day was had by all, and the Noosa support group could be heard loud and clear in the huge crowd.

Last weekend 10-11 December, we had two of our club members competing for Queensland at the Australian All Schools Championships in Adelaide: Mailee ScottJones finished ninth in the U17 girls 400 m hurdles. Jumping, a personal best, Luca Ger-

rard jumped 12.26 m in the U14 boys triple jump, winning a bronze medal.

“This was a great result from our young Noosa athletes competing against the best in Australia,” said coach Hooper.

“It has been a tough year considering Covid and other problems that we faced.

So as coach, I would like to thank all involved, coaching staff, athletes and in particular our support team, who travelled all over the country. When they started to cheer you couldn’t help but hear them. Definitely great encouragement for our young athletes.”

Warm times at chilly Pismo There were tears of joy and probably a few of disappointment as the ISA World Para Surfing Championships went through a changing of the guard in chilly and challenging conditions at Pismo Beach in Central California last weekend.

On finals’ day [Sunday our time], 13 world champions were crowned on what organisers described as “a groundbreaking day of action in wild and woolly conditions”.

Looking at the livestream, I would have added cold and abysmal, but para (or adaptive) surfers are made of sterner stuff than the rest of us, as they prove each and every time they paddle out and defy the conventions of disability.

Canada’s Victoria Feige won her fourth gold medal in a row in women’s kneel to set herself apart and officially become the greatest of all time in women’s Para Surfing, but Australia’s Mark Mono Stewart just missed out on his fourth gold in the men’s kneel, after making a remarkable comeback from a disastrous first round. Mono will always be the GOAT of adaptive surfing to me, but we’ll come back to his Pismo in a minute.

Gold medals from Sarah Bettencourt (women’s prone) and Liv Stone (women’s stand) helped deliver defending champions Team USA an unprecedented third gold medal

Proud flag-bearer at chilly Pismo.

in the Team World Championship, with Bettencourt and Stone both winning their third World Titles in a row.

The seventh edition of the ISA Para Worlds marked a changing of the guard.

A total of seven first-time world champions were crowned and six of the overall gold medallists were teenagers.

Of the first-time winners, which included Casey Proud (Hawaii), Llywelyn Sponge Williams (Wales), Camilo Abdulo (Portugal) and Rafael Lueders (Brazil), Aleli Medina (Puerto Rico) was the youngest at 13, and also the first to win an ISA Para Surfing medal of any colour for her national team.

The Para Worlds is always full of feel-good stories but few are as heart-warming as that of Australia’s Emma Dieters.

Nearly two years after a surgery that upended her life, the 40-year-old from Sydney’s Northern Beaches won the women’s prone 2 division.

“I can’t even believe that’s happened,” she said on the beach.

“It’s a surreal feeling, and I’m really stoked.”

Emma had suffered from bad neck pain due to a bulging disc for years, and in February 2021 she decided to undertake spinal fusion surgery to help her become more

mobile and pain-free.

But the surgery went horribly wrong and she became an incomplete quadriplegic at the C4 level. She spent five months in hospital and rehab and when she emerged she was determined to return to surfing.

With encouragement from fellow para surfer Sam Bloom, Emma entered her first adaptive competition in August, and finished second in the Australian Surf Championships.

And then she went one better on the biggest stage of all, producing two high-scoring waves of 8.33 and 8.93 in the final in California to win gold, with her two children watching from the beach and her husband her support person in the water.

Fellow Australian and former world champion Jocelyn Neumueller claimed the silver medal.

It was the fourth final in the men’s kneel for Wales’ Sponge Williams, across six years of competing, and this year’s win felt like redemption for the 27-year-old after an interference in the dying minutes of the 2021 final cost him the gold medal to Mono Stewart, who was a close second this time.

“From losing in the last three minutes last year to having it now, it’s overwhelming,” Sponge said. “The whole of para surfing is

Emma Dieters on her way to gold.

building and next month we find out if we go to the Paralympics. So it’s all changing, and we have new people coming on board. It’s going to be a fun few years.”

As I’ve noted in this space many times before, Mark Mono Stewart, the one-legged kneeboarder from Byron Bay is truly the GOAT of adaptive surfing, an inspirational human being whose contribution to surfing was recognised at the Surfing Australia Awards this year when he was made the inaugural Adaptive Surfer of the Year.

A year ago when he was on his way to winning his third world title at Pismo, Mono noticed a small but growing cyst on his chest.

A guy who spent a year in hospital as a teenager after losing his leg to cancer is pretty much afraid of nothing, so he didn’t even mention it when he came up to Noosa to surf last January’s run of swells with me, but it was the beginning of a long period of gruelling treatment of yet another cancer, from which he only just emerged in time for this year’s ISA title defence.

That didn’t work out exactly to plan, but Mono was unfazed, having racked up the tournament’s two highest wave scores, a 9.33 and an 8.9, after recovering from a shocker of a start.

The kid’s only 60! He’ll be back next year.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THE number of people planning to move to Queensland in the next five years has highlighted the need for proper planning.

At the seventh annual Combined Government & Business Forum at Maroochy RSL, government and business leaders explored managing regional growth for the next decade.

This coming together of leaders covered areas such as housing availability, affordability and liveability and attracting funding and investment in major infrastructure such as transport, sports, entertainment, tourism and hotels in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The invitation-only event - hosted annually by the Sunshine Coast Business Council (SCBC) - was attended by around 70 leaders, including federal and state members, regional councillors and representatives from some of the Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

Paul Riga from Urbis, Jess Caire from Property Council of Australia, Sandy Zubrinich chair of the Sunshine Coast Business Council and Matthew Byrne from Stockland. 306755 most influential businesses and largest employers in the region.

Sunshine Coast Business Council chair Sandy Zubrinich said the forum was of particular importance this year with recent statistics revealing one in 20 people from Sydney and Melbourne are ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ looking to move interstate in the next five years, with almost two thirds of those keen to make Queensland their new home.

“Research commissioned by the Property Council of Australia has revealed 220,000 people – a population the size of Townsville and Gladstone combined are seeking to leave the southern states and head north to Queensland in coming years,” Ms Zubrinich said.

“Of these 37 percent said they will be looking to move to Sunshine Coast which, according to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland, already has a vacancy rate of less than one per cent.

“With housing and rental markets already under significant pressure, the forum provided an opportunity to debate

some of these issues, particularly as we head towards the 2032 Games which we know will place even more demands on our region.”

Property Council of Australia (PCA) Qld deputy executive director Jess Caire, presented findings from the PCA’s ‘A Home for Every Queenslander’ report, which was intended to be the beginning of the conversation – an open invitation for government, industry and the community to work together to ensure appropriate and affordable housing options are available for all current and future Queenslanders.

“This research was the Property Council’s housing position paper that led the Queensland Government to convene the housing summit in October,” Ms Caire said.

“This reinforced the need for a collaborative effort to ensure every Queenslander has a safe, affordable fit-for purpose home.

“While the summit has already led to a series of positive announcements, including an expanded Housing Investment Fund and reduction in red tape to respond

“The Sunshine Coast’s rapid population growth and the pressure this is creating is no secret, but this growth also presents a unique opportunity for the region. To capitalise on this opportunity, it is critical that the planning framework allows for this population growth to ensure the region is enabled to grow sustainably.

“While industry stands ready to create the homes South East Queensland needs, it can’t do it alone – it is a collaborative effort between, government, industry and the community.”

This year’s theme for the forum was ‘Connecting the Dots’, to remind local business and political leaders of the continued need to work together to attract the funding and investment required to get the regional infrastructure in place to manage growth going forward.

Cr Maria Suarez from Sunshine Coast Council, Ross Webb from McNab and Jess Caire, Property Council of Australia at the Combined Government & Business Forum at Maroochy RSL. 306755 The Property Council report is a solutions-based report, Jess Caire said.

“We need to make sure we can address the current situation and opportunity, especially as we look ahead of the next 10 years.

“We need to grasp that idea of accessibility and affordability - connectivity is very important and infrastructure is critical to the delivery of housing.

“Growth is inevitable. Noosa and Gympie will be satellites for the growth of the region.

“It’s incumbent on all of us to work collaboratively - and I mean development industry and government and community - to make sure we can deliver the appropriate infrastructure and connectivity.

“We need to make sure everyone has access to a safe and affordable house.’’

With the 2032 Olympics looming, it was essential to ensure planning and development of infrastructure was in place and not lagging.

There is an agreement coming together with the collaboration between

governments, Ms Caire said, with some interesting discussions taking place on how we can achieve that.

“Having that 2032 beacon is absolutely critical.’’

In regard to the housing shortage whether it be a result of Covid or flooding earlier this year - we didn’t get to this situation overnight from an availability point of view.

Why are we at this stage?

“The Property Council has been cautioning for a long time that we don’t have the available land required to deliver on the demand,’’ Ms Caire said.

“Queensland has always been of really attractive investment opportunity, and who wouldn’t want to live here?

“Obviously over the past two years the pandemic has heightened things, especially interstate migration.

“It’s a really exciting opportunity that puts the region in a very unique position.

“Growth has growing pains but it’s an opportunity and we want this region to grow in a sustainable fashion.

University of the Sunshine Coast’s Prof Helen Bartlett and Gavin Keely of Silicon Coast. 306755

“There is the land available - especially infill in Noosa and Gympie.

“The Sunshine Coast has had land available but the planning framework needs to meet market conditions.

“What comes next is making sure that it can be agile and meet the enormous growth, the infrastructure and the funding allocated for the construction of what we are going through.

“A major change is ahead, especially how we get around.

“The key focus is on the Olympics to deliver a green and sustainable Olympics.

“We have seen behaviour patterns change so much in recent years - how people approach day-to-day life because of the pandemic.

“So the next 10 years will be interesting.

“I’m forever the optimist. There’s a lot of opportunity if it’s done well.

“With the right planning and leadership we can deliver a fantastic outcome.

“When we look at the Sunshine Coast, especially the northern end, it is as attractive as anywhere in the world.

“People want to come here, they want to live here because of the incredible lifestyle and the beaches.’’

The coming together of the three levels of government has been welcomed, Ms Caire said.

“Public transport is our main problem getting people to use it is the main issue and a change of behaviour is always very difficult.’’

For Sandy Zubrinich, the main aim was to ensure the community, the visitors and athletes all have a great time on the Sunshine Coast in the lead-up to and during the Olympics.

“We need to maximise the time we have to get the infrastructure and facilities in place and ready to go.

“This is just one opportunity to remind ourselves we are a team and we need to present as a strong team,” Ms said.

The business council will present the key discussion points from the forum, for further discussion and agreement by its members, at the annual strategy directions workshop to be held in late January. ●

ON THE COVER

INDULGENT WATERFRONT STAR LOOK behind the intriguing white slatted façade and beyond as lofty bespoke glass doors reveal idiosyncratic art, avantgarde design and contemporary brilliance leading to an ostensibly tantalizing double life. One moment, it is elegant and lushly glamorous, all cocktail-cool with an after-five air, while the next it casts off its best dress and becomes a warm and vital backdrop of abundant living areas.

Admire the clerestory-height ceilings with glazing echoing the two-level high sweep on the westerly side. The totally private terrace encompassing the splendor of a shimmering pool with bright blue mosaic tiles, a spa and ’floating’ day bed, plus a deck with shade trees.

Naturally attracting sunlight, bounces across endless oak and moody grey tile flooring in the boundless multiple living and dining areas. Predominantly neutral tones are accented by pops of colour with chic furniture including sumptuous sofas, thoughtful lighting, classy silk rugs, woven leather dining chairs, and a gas fireplace with a tiled surround.The designer kitchen has all the hallmarks of luxe with its lashings of matt limestone-topped timber cabinetry benches, including the lengthy island bench, an integrated custom-built fancy black bar with mirrored splashback and wine fridges, a walk-in pantry and highend appliances.

It also has every accoutrement needed by a budding Jamie Oliver to create a culinary sensation. Doors which seemingly disappear and blur the lines to outdoors, exemplify the adage of luxury is meant for everyday living. The ultimate life alfresco begins on the wide undercover terrace which stretches the length of the residence. Those with a penchant for relaxing on lounges, maybe having a barbeque with friends or drinking in the theatrics of sunset, will feel completely at home. Savour some vitamin sea whilst lolling on the timber deck below, which extends to a jetty with a pontoon. And what is in-between? A glistening 20-metre white sand beach on the whisper-quiet side of the Noosa Sound waterway - a tribute to its location and the natural environment setting which on the opposite side of the water is a nature reserve.

Showcasing more unprecedented levels of sophistication continue upstairs. The oh-so-generous master bedroom suite has a lounge with kitchenette, a walk-in robe, bathroom with free-standing tub. Soak away the blues as you drink in the water views beyond the terrace which wraps two sides of the retreat sized zone.

HOME FOCUS

ENVIABLE WATERFRONT LIVING LOOKING for a quiet absolute waterfront town home with multiple living areas, in a slice of paradise, designed to ensure an enviable unretiring life is never-ending, especially for those with a penchant for walking, cycling, boating, and fishing.

Entry on the north side is into a private tiled courtyard, whilst immediately evident indoors is a relaxed, holiday-everyday ambience which exudes the languid echoes of summer. Bright natural light bounces across the sand-hued tiles in the dining area and is fused with flourishes of cool chicness through to the free-flowing carpeted living space with cushy cane armchairs, mocha leather sofas, and sheers either side of the disappearing glass sliders, thus amplifying the indoorsout effect.

In a seamless transition and stretching the width of the townhome, is a generous timber terrace. Chairs for relaxation and others for sitting at the table under big umbrellas, suggest barbeques and fun alfresco for whatever the reason. You certainly get the feeling someone is about to pour a drink before a long lunch! Do not worry, the in-vogue galley-style kitchen with stone topped bench and island/breakfast bar, high-end appliances and heaps of storage, works intuitively around everyday life.Of course, it also has all the bells and whistles needed to conjure up some magic.

Entertaining takes on a new meaning when you consider the abutting park-like lawn area dotted with stately paperbark trees, extends to the revetment wall, albeit the resort’s waterfront. Look across the wide waterway to prestige residences, imagine fishing from a nearby jetty,

kayaking and canoeing around Noosa Waters or taking a boat through the lock and weir system to the upper reaches of the Noosa River.

Upstairs off the hallway are two sunnybright bedrooms with plush carpet and built-in robes. In the king master suite with large bathroom, wake up to dulcet choruses from the local birdlife, and look over the waterway while enjoying a morning cuppa. The second bedroom on the northside has double and single beds plus an ensuite.

Downstairs is a fully equipped laundry and a powder room.

“Choose from four pools and multiple jetties in the resort, and leave the car at home,” suggests Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata who is taking the property to Auction on Wednesday

21 December 2022. Stroll along the meandering pathways or via the underpass to a shopping precinct, cafe central on Gympie Terrace, also the dog-friendly walkway which is parallel to the Noosa River foreshore.

HOME FOCUS

READY TO TAKE THE PLUNGE! IMAGINE the ultimate chic beach-style residence elevated to capture rainforest, river, mountain and ocean views, and just 5-minutes stroll to Noosa Beach.

Designed by renowned architect John Mainwaring, the residence occupies an enviable position, seemingly perched unobtrusively in native forest surrounds on a tranquil ridge. Most interior spaces have an outlook with unexpected fenestrations providing glimpses into the lush surrounds.

Generous overhangs are across five terraces, while natural light, breezes, and ventilation take advantage of the idyllic subtropical climate.

Open the front door for a reality check.

This residence defines luxury on every level. The serenity is palpable, amplified by the restrained palette, neutral tones plus polished timber floors and high ceilings, throughout the overgenerous, open plan living and dining spaces. There’s an easy engagement with the two undercover entertaining-style terraces - one with dreamy day bed.

The galley-style kitchen with stone benchtops including an extended breakfast bar, has whiz-bang appliances aplenty. The adjacent balcony is the perfect location for a barbeque.

A king master suite on this level has wispy sheers on the bi-fold door, also a walk-in robe and ensuite with a spa bath.

The lower level is bliss zone personified.

One king-suite accesses a terrace, an oval bathtub with rainforest views is in the ensuite, and the walk-in robe on the southside opens into a study, which is currently used as a fourth bedroom as it also has an entry door from the hallway.

The third king-size bedroom also has a terrace, plus built-in robes, and an adjoining bathroom with second door opening to a courtyard, where there’s a tropical garden, storeroom, also drying space opening

from the laundry.

“This residence is in a private enclave of 23 with a Resort pool and sun terrace, all Residences have their own double lock-up garage + storage which is a huge advantage being so close to Hastings Street.

“Appreciate the quiet forest ambience of living or investing here, and knowing it is truly a short stroll to what is referred to as the Paris-end of sophisticated Hastings Street, with its buzzy bars, restaurants, beachside cafes, art galleries and boutiques, as well as the Noosa Heads Surf Club and sheltered north-facing

Noosa Main Beach.

“Life doesn’t get much better.”

NOOSA TODAY 25

HOME FOCUS

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXECUTIVE RESIDENCE NESTLED on one of the highest points of Noosa Banks Estate you will want to make this spacious home your own the minute you step inside. Freshly painted and meticulously maintained with nothing to do but simply move in. Surrounded by an enclave of exclusive properties it offers prestige living and privacy in a very desired location.

Upon arrival the wide lush green frontage with driveways either side will immediately impress. One meets the double garage and the other a 12x5 garage with an extra high stud built to accommodate a campervan, trailer, boat or two vehicles. An extended workbench and excellent storage make this a perfect playground for a home handyman offering their very own man cave. To the rear, partitioned from the garage with its own access is an ideal room for an art studio, home business or teenage retreat.

WELCOME TO 3 NOOSA BANKS DRIVE! Double entry front doors invite you to a light filled foyer leading to a sunken formal

lounge and dining room with views and access to a stunning undercover alfresco entertaining space and inground pool.

To the right of the foyer a generously proportioned master bedroom is perfectly separated and private from the other bedrooms and enjoys an outlook to the palm fringed outdoor areas. Walk through robes with a spacious ensuite lead to a private courtyard.

Most rooms in this large home are built to encapsulate the established manicured gardens to the rear of the property with the family, lounge and master bedroom all having direct access to the beautiful entertaining area.

The second and third bedrooms would easily incorporate king size beds and the fourth is ideal as a bedroom or an office.

All are carpeted and have built in robes, ceiling fans and white plantation shutters.

The state of art chef’s kitchen will delight gourmet food lovers and boasts stone bench tops, quality appliances, including a built- in refrigerator, water filter,

self-closing drawers and cupboards. A breakfast bar sits adjacent to the generous sized family gathering and casual dining area and is a perfect spot to congregate and enjoy with family and friends while keeping an eye on any swimmers in the pool.

Low maintenance cool tiles flow through from the entrance to the kitchen, dining and family room. In addition, the home has security lights, an instantaneous hot water system, a 6.6 KW solar power system with 26 panels producing a credit for the current

owner since July 2020. The water usage is minimal as well with two existing 500 litre rainwater tanks feeding the garden and pool.

Stepping outside, the outdoor entertaining area features a clever vergola which automatically opens and closes depending on weather conditions, making for relaxed and easy alfresco living.

Expansive and creatively landscaped tropical gardens form an attractive colourful backdrop to the inground pool and a secret secluded hidden garden provides for quiet reflection or marshmallows around the firepit on summer evenings. Established assorted citrus trees including limes, mandarins, oranges and lemons for your gin and tonic have also been thoughtfully planted. Add the passionfruit vine and dessert is done!

This property delivers the perfect lifestyle for indoor and outdoor family entertaining and will appeal to an executive couple or a family looking for a place to call home! ●
