Clinton’s big swim for kids

Clinton Stanley in swim mode.

Clinton Stanley, affectionately know as Cooroy’s Super Fish, is on a mission this February to swim 60km and raise as much money as he can for The Starlight Foundation to bring joy to sick kids and improve their health. This is the second year Clinton has participated in the Starlight Super Swim Challenge. Last year he swam 57.1km and raised $5465. Clinton, 45, has always loved swimming. At 17 years of age he began competitive swimming and since then has represented Australia seven times and holds 79 Down syndrome world records. He has been a member of Noosa Masters swim club since 2003 and since 2006 has volunteered with the Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesavers. Clinton just loves to help people. “I am the lucky one, even though I have an intellectual disability I am fit and healthy and live my dream, while every day a sick child is admitted to hospital in Australia,“ Clinton said. “My challenge is to swim as far as I can over the 28 days in February and raise lots of money for as many sick kids as I can. Last year Clinton was invited to swim and raise money for the Starlight Children’s Foundation as a member of the Noosa Masters Team. His incredible effort was a terrific help towards the team contribution. Continued page 3

A frequent user of Council’s Go Noosa free holiday bus, Donelle Shaw was delighted last Tuesday to step off at Hastings Street to be greeted by Noosa Mayor, councillors, council staff and even a band when she became the one millionth passenger of the service. “I love it. I think it’s terrific. We use it a lot, sometimes a couple of times a day,” Donelle said. The Noosaville resident said she had used the free bus service since it began and it was always easier and less stressful that taking the car, even when traffic was at a crawl heading into Hastings Street. “Sometimes it gets held up but you don’t have to find a car park,” she said.

“I just walk out the door and get on the bus.” Noosa Council has been providing free bus trips to residents and visitors over the Christmas and Easter Queensland school holiday period since 2018. Along with free travel on all five local Translink bus routes, the program has introduced the Go Noosa loop bus and a temporary Peregian Beach to Noosa Heads service. “Noosa locals and visitors have embraced the Go Noosa Holiday program since its introduction over four years ago,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “It is exciting to see the program evolve. These school holidays saw the introduction of the program’s first electric bus, powered by 100

per cent renewable energy. “It has been great seeing a large number of locals and visitors giving their car a holiday and making the switch to public transport.” Council’s Go Noosa team boarded the 065 loop bus on Tuesday to celebrate the milestone and Cr Stewart presented Donelle with a $100 EFTPOS gift card and a limited edition Go Noosa beach towel. Building on the demand and benefits of the free holiday buses, the Go Noosa program expanded in 2022 to include a free weekend bus trial. “With free buses during holidays and on weekends, residents and visitors can now travel for free to work, the shops, the hinterland

or the beach for more than 140 days a year,” Mayor Stewart said. The Go Noosa program is all about achieving Council’s transport vision of an efficient, free-flowing, innovative transport system that enhances resident and visitor experiences and results in sustainable environmental outcomes. “It’s about changing the long-term behaviour of travellers, making it second nature to get on a bus to get around,” Cr Stewart said. “The Go Noosa program is becoming synonymous with Noosa and the Christmas and Easter holidays, as well as every weekend throughout the year.” Continued page 8

Noosa residents can help ensure local turtle hatchlings have a fighting chance of survival as they make their way from the dunes to the ocean during February. “It’s easy to get involved in helping a threatened species – join us in taking part in the Clean-Up For Hatchlings beach cleanup morning on 4 February,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. This is Noosa Council’s first year taking part in the annual event, run by Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with TurtleCare Sunshine Coast, Reef Check Australia, Unitywater and SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium. “It’s a long running and successful event – now in its ninth year - and we’re thrilled to become part of it,” Mayor Stewart said. “It’s an incredibly important cause. Ensuring the beach is free of litter helps to give turtle hatchlings a clear passage as they make their way from the dunes to the water after hatching during February. “By taking part, volunteers are helping to ensure the little hatchlings have the best possible chance of survival,” Cr Stewart added.

The dunes near Beach Access 50 at Peregian Beach – a known turtle nesting area – will be this year’s Noosa clean-up site (northern end of Peregian Esplanade, opposite Lowry Street). Volunteers can register now, via Eventbrite, to take part in the clean-up at the Noosa site between 6am and 7.30am on 4 February. Noosa Council Environment Officer, Melissa Coyle, said participants should bring gloves, as well as enclosed footwear, and sun protection. “The event will be single-use plasticfree, so be sure to bring a reusable water bottle or coffee cup,” Ms Coyle said. Noosa volunteers are invited to join the combined Clean-Up For Turtle Hatchlings celebrations at Coopers Lookout Park, south of the Kawana Surf Club, from 8am. “There will be a free barbecue breakfast, a prize draw and other fun activities, plus an opportunity to weigh and sort the collected debris,” Ms Coyle said. Register at Eventbrite.com. Search ‘Clean-Up For Hatchlings - Peregian Beach’.

Australia Day will be celebrated by some next Thursday while others will consider it an occasion to mourned or protest. Increasingly,opinion on the continuation of the event is dividing. Among those celebrating in Noosa on the day will be a number of individuals attending a citizenship ceremony, giving them the right to call themselves Australian. This Sunday, the first new moon of the lunar calendar marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year celebrations, in this Year of the Rabbit, which will continue to the first full moon 15 days later. The Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace and prosperity. The event which is widely celebrated across China, parts of Asia and the world begins 10 days prior to the event during which time people clean their houses to remove any bad luck that might be lingering inside, a custom called sweeping of the grounds. Traditionally, New Year’s eve and New Year’s day are reserved for family celebrations, including religious ceremonies honouring ancestors and people give gifts of red envelopes containing money. The Lunar New Year does not attract a large celebration across Noosa but if you search around there are a few places where you will may find lion dances, lanterns and traditional foods.

Bonza Airlines set to fly It’s the start of a new era at Sunshine Coast Airport with the approval for Bonza Airlines to take to the skies. The announcement that Bonza has been given the all clear by CASA to commence operations opens up new opportunities for the region’s business and leisure travellers as Sunshine Coast Airport connects to more destinations than ever before. Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer Andrew Brodie was delighted to receive this news following Bonza’s proving flights early this month. “This is fantastic news and a great way to kick off 2023,’’ he said. “Bonza will now be able to go on sale and commence flights before the month is over,” Mr Brodie said. “Bonza will initially service 13 destinations directly from Sunshine Coast, 10 of which have never been previously serviced. “This will boost our airport from the 10th to the second most domestically connected airport in Queensland.’’ Based at Sunshine Coast Airport, Bonza will be the first airline to launch in Australia in more than 15 years. The destinations Bonza is opening up for regional travellers is a game-changer for Australians, Mr Brodie said.

Sunshine Coast Airport staff celebrate the approval of Bonza Airlines.315499 They are also providing a critical pathway in unlocking new market opportunities for business to explore. “It is going to be exciting to watch and see how things evolve now that travel between the Sunshine Coast and these new destinations just became a whole lot easier,” Mr Brodie said. Bonza’s start of services will bring an additional 772,000 seats into Sunshine Coast Airport and is expected to generate around $86

million in domestic visitor spend in the first 12 months of operation. Bonza chief executive officer Tim Jordan said it was an historic moment for Australian aviation with the launch of the country’s only independent low-cost carrier. The timing couldn’t be better with demand for domestic travel being so high. Visit Sunshine Coast chief executive officer Matt Stoeckel said the launch of Bonza was in-

credible news for the region. “The new routes will open our destination up to markets we’ve never had direct access from before, and local tourism operators are incredibly excited about the positive impacts this level of connectivity will have on their business and the broader industry,” Mr Stoekel said. Bonza will connect 13 destinations to Sunshine Coast, 10 of which have never been serviced before - Townsville, Mackay, Proserpine (Whitsundays), Rockhampton, Tamworth, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Albury, Avalon and Mildura. This is in addition to existing flights to Cairns, Newcastle and Melbourne. The news that Bonza will soon take to the skies reinforces the role the Sunshine Coast Airport plays as an economic enabler of, not just the region, but across the whole of South East Queensland. The catchment for the airport is from Bundaberg to Caboolture and three hours to the west. “We are forecast to welcome 1.5 million passengers in 22/23, which is up over 80 per cent on the previous year,” Mr Brodie said. “Records were broken in 2022 with increases in passenger numbers throughout the year and we expect more records to be broken in 2023 as Bonza ramps up its services over the coming months.”

Clinton’s swimming to raise funds for sick children From page 1 This year he wants to raise more money and swim more kilometres. Clinton will be completing his swims at the Noosa Aquatics Centre with his laps counted by his coach Jan Croft. When he isn’t working and has time, he will be swimming distances either in the pool or the ocean that will be recorded by his support worker. Swimming is what Clinton is good at and he has used his skill on several occasions to fundraise for other charities. He has a long list of achievements to his name. Before becoming a voluntary lifesaver Clinton was a founding member for Scouts at the Nambour Special School. He was a scout leader who helped the young Cubs for many years and is also a recipient of the Baden Powel Award, the highest award for scouting. Clinton has been inducted into Sunshine Coast Sports Hall of Fame. In 2013 he was an Australian of the Year Local Hero Queensland finalist and was a proud Australian Ambassador in 2015 and 2016. The Starlight Foundation knows that happiness matters to sick kids facing the pain, fear and stress of serious illness. The organisation works in partnership with health professionals to bring the fun, joy and laughter that is essential to sick kids’ health and wellbeing.

Clinton has volunteered with Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesavers for the past 16 years. “It would mean so much to me and The Starlight Foundation if you’d support me in this challenge,“ Clinton said. Clinton has already raised more than $1000 for the challenge. If you wish to support Clinton, visit superswim.org.au/clinton-stanley All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Tackling youth recidivism Welcome to 2023 Noosa! As I sit looking over the vast expanse of inland Australia, there is much to occupy my mind from our inbox. Traffic congestion and the appalling behaviour of some visitors on New Year’s Eve, ongoing youth crime and the outpouring of grief and anger in response to the tragic death of a young mum in her own home at Northlakes during a home invasion. This tragedy has reignited the reality that regardless of efforts by governments to reduce crime, it is very much part of our lives, and could occur anywhere, even here at home. Understandably, the response from many is to lock them up and throw away the key. Emotionally I agree, however, having sat through public hearings in communities heavily impacted by youth recidivism such as Townsville, Mt Isa and Gold Coast, and read the enormous volume of submissions from frontliners, experts in crime reduction, and scientific papers, there is no simple solution, including throwing away the key, in what is such a multi-faceted issue. Many initiatives employed to divert youth from reoffending are successful with 90 per cent of juveniles committing a crime not moving on to what is classified as a Serious Repeat Offender (SRO). According to the Atkinsons Report 30 September 2021 there were 341 youth offenders identified as SROs in QLD, with an over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people and concerning proportions of New Zealand, Pacific Island and African ethnicities. Data shows that the proportion of young people offending on bail has increased from 47 per cent in 2019 to 53 per cent in 2021, and for the same period, the proportion of serious offending on bail increased from 14 per cent to 19 per cent. The number and proportion of young people on bail who committed a further offence that led to serious harm or death, also increased from 60 (five per cent of all young people on bail) in 2019 to 78 (seven per cent of all young people on bail). While there has been much discussion over the relevance of Covid impacts in these increases, I will discuss pre-Covid and our Legal Affairs and Safety Committee (LASC) investigations, including public hearings, where we learnt much on what was already a chronic situation in 2019. Anecdotal evidence was presented that a high proportion of these youths show symptoms of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, which in simple terms means that the damage done in utero to the brain leads to an inability to assess risk to themselves or others, as well as consequences. Currently this is not curable and the many neuroscientists, behavioral specialists

To report a crime in emergencies dial 000. In non-urgent cases use Policelink online forms or call 131444 or contact CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000. and researchers working on this were unable to give our LASC an answer on how these individuals should be treated to prevent reoffending. However, all agreed, including victims of their crimes attending hearings, that prison was not the answer due to the high potential for further criminalisation, leading to increased risk and danger to communities when they are released. We also heard from witnesses, including police, where offenders would cry when not sent to juvenile detention. It shocked me to hear imprisonment is preferable for some to what they experience in their home life. We were told of households with drug and alcohol addicted parents or carers, overcrowded accommodations, domestic violence, and a lack of basics including food. Offenders leaving detention share stories with younger siblings of activities, food, clothing and Christmas presents during incarceration, resulting in a culture that sees imprisonment as a preferable option that holds less fear, and greater care. How have we come to this in our country? In everyday conversations it is agreed that real consequences are vital for those who commit crimes. It is also agreed that deterrence,

education, early identification, and behavioural interventions are key to minimalising criminal behaviours in youth. Queenslanders rightfully should feel safe in their homes, on our streets, and in workplaces. So, what is the answer? We know that in a commonsense world, it makes no sense to punish adolescents through detention for non-violent crimes and then return them to the environment that fostered the criminality in the first place. We also know that our prisons are overcrowded, with inquiries finding that when interred there are critical shortfalls in work programs and skills development, contributing again to the risk of further criminalisation on release. Government funded youth organisations, including counselling, are also often closed when their services are needed the most, such as weekends and evenings. Disturbingly, witnesses relayed that targeted intervention for repeat offenders was not in any way early, with reports that it was only on the fourth or more court appearance that these commenced. Rectifying these shortfalls is a start. An additional option for the courts could also be introduced, and I have supported ‘relocation sentencing’ which has been put for-

ward by the Katter Australia Party and Opposition MPs, based on our communities’ views in previous Noosa MP surveys showing over 70 per cent in favour of boot camps and over 60 per cent for options for youth detention. This has not yet gained any support from government and is where young offenders are relocated to remote properties to work, develop life skills, respect and responsibility to others and self, away from where they can do harm. They would not be released back into the environment that fostered their criminality until they developed the capacity to reform or reject their previous influences. A bonus is that while communities are kept safer, any wages could be saved towards buying their own cars instead of stealing them. Given that the Atkinson Report stated that it costs $1500 per day for imprisonment, it makes logical sense that taxpayer funds be utilised in a way that decriminalises versus criminalises. It has been difficult to access statistics on what has been classified as a failure of a previous boot camp trial, however, there were reports from advocates `that participants did not reoffend at the rate of those who had been imprisoned in the first two years’, however, over a five-year period these statistics showed that there was no difference, hence why governments have not supported.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton. However, we discovered that the trial of boot camps had been hastily implemented with no follow-on monitoring, mentoring or supports to the individual or their families, which leads to questions regarding an adequate analysis of these options. Hence my asking in Statements of Reservation, speeches and of the Minister for an expansion of the pilot program, On Country, designed for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander youth, or similar, to provide an option to the courts for all minors committing nonviolent crimes, indigenous or otherwise. Youth sentencing has again been included in our current annual survey, and I encourage everyone to participate! Given the increase in youth recidivism, for the 10 per cent of adolescents that reoffend, we know current efforts are not enough. With legislation coming before Parliament in February for greater deterrence, understandably we are all concerned that there appears to be little understanding of the particular youth cohort

With farms and cattle properties across the country in need of workers and who could take on these offenders as they have many years ago, this could be a sensible option that should be considered. Locally, there is much we can do to create greater safety. Firstly, lock up! Your car, even when home, your house, and any other valuables. Stay alert for any suspicious behaviours, and report to our local police, whether during station opening hours or not, as there are always police on duty.

It’s time for a safer river By Phil Jarratt When she moved to Noosa 15 years ago, educator, bookkeeper and community volunteer Kate Gardiner found her place of the heart in Noosa River. Inspired by the river, she joined a women’s stand-up paddle group where weekly morning sessions on the lower estuary provided a perfect calming counterpoint to her busy working life. She recalls: “I was still working full-time from home so I had to be at my desk at 8.30 every morning so sometimes on SUP Wednesdays I’d get to my desk still in my swimmers.” Over the years the group, unofficially known as the SUP Babes, has evolved and grown, but at its core it has remained a foundation for the women in it. Says Kate: “The age group is about 50 to 80, so women of a certain age if you like. Some have come and gone, and one lives in the US but comes out for a couple of months each year, but there is a core that’s been there all along. “Stand up paddling for us is about our mental health and our wellbeing. “Our circle of friends has been through losing life-long partners, divorce, other family issues like looking after elderly parents, and we go out on the river and it calms us down. “We come away from that paddle session for another week feeling we can manage our lives. And we look out for each other, in the water and out of it.” But in recent times Kate and her friends have felt so threatened by speeding power boats and river rat hoons that they have had to move up into the quieter stretches of Weyba Creek, launching and returning from mosquito-laden and muddy breaks along the mangrove shore. And the group has begun to splinter, with

It’s the classic case of so-called passive users (ie unpowered craft) coming off second best on waterways that are loved by all but dominated by power boats. Kate Gardiner is not happy about it, and like any good stand up paddler, she’s not going to take it lying down. She says: “I feel very strongly about making our river safer because for 15 years this group of girls has been getting together to enjoy each other’s company and keep fit, but over the past 12 months or so some of them have been saying they just don’t want to paddle anymore be-

cause they don’t feel safe, and we can’t go to the places that suit our needs best, like around the river mouth. “We were rarely concerned about our safety until a couple of years ago. We paddle as a group and make sure no one gets left behind, but lately we’ve had boats speed by very close and others do u-turns around the group creating wash that has caused a couple to fall off. One person who did that saw what he’d caused but there was no apology, nothing. “There was another risky incident with the sand dredge at Munna Point where we had to go on a very narrow route around one side of it to avoid the ferry, and a guy on a jet ski pushed

us into the dredge area, so we had the dredge driver yelling at us. No one really hurt but what concerns me most is the reluctance of some of the girls now to paddle anywhere except well up in Weyba Creek.” Kate first took her concerns to Maritime Safety Queensland about 18 months ago, where she says she was told to produce video evidence of safety breaches. In February 2022 she felt she was finally getting somewhere when she saw a request for community feedback to MSQ on social media on a proposal to gazette a six-knot speed limit for all vessels on the lower reach of the Noosa River from Thomas Street to the Noosa River mouth, a distance of approximately 3.3 km. This year-round speed limit would supersede the normal 20-knot limit and the Christmas and Easter holiday period limit of six knots. At the time Noosa Today quoted MSQ general manager Kell Dillon as saying: “The river is extremely popular with families, non-motorised craft, speed boats, jet skis and moored craft, and this plan is to make the Noosa River safer for all who use it. There have been complaints over near-misses and fears for the safety of swimmers and children close to speeding craft.” Not to mention stand up paddlers of a certain age. Kate and her group duly filled out a questionnaire in which they expressed their strong views about the need for a lower and betterpoliced river speed limit, but were bitterly disappointed when there were no outcomes from the consultation and nothing changed. Kate continued to take up the matter with MSQ and with Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, but last month she and her group were shocked to discover that a second and more formal consultation had been announced by MSQ, this time covering several other aspects of river management as well as the speed limit, including mooring and anchoring limits.

She says: “I think that the current consultation is a sham because it’s clouded by these other complex issues that are difficult to understand and even more difficult to address. “The easy issue is to address speeding on the river, but that’s being diluted by the other things. “Also I can’t find anything in the survey that tells you whether Noosa residents and ratepayers have more sway in this than someone who’s here for two weeks. I don’t think the survey gives enough recognition to the needs of locals.” Kate expressed these views and more last week in a letter to Transport Minister Mark Bailey, concluding: “There is no genuine attempt to protect passive river users from aggressive and uncontrolled motorised vehicles. Many locals have real fears that speeding and hooning could have fatal consequences for passive river users. “With widespread recognition that speeding on Noosa River is out of control I am perplexed as to why MSQ have achieved nothing to address this problem to date… MSQ have failed in their responsibilities to the community and I fear that this issue will only be addressed when someone is killed as a direct result of negligence by MSQ and your department.” Contacted by Noosa Today this week, Maritime Safety Queensland acting general manager Jim Huggett said increased enforcement action during 10 patrols on Noosa River in December had resulted in a significant drop in speeding and unlicensed operation of vessels. “MSQ will maintain a highly visible presence throughout Sunshine Coast waters, including the Noosa River, up to and during the Australia Day holiday period. MSQ, Queensland Water Police and QBFP officers are appointed can all take enforcement action which includes issuing infringement notices. “MSQ started broad, formal public consultation on 9 December 2022 on potential reforms to vessel management on the Noosa River. This consultation concludes on Friday 20 January. “Subject to the results of the consultation process, legislative amendments will be made

to implement the reforms. MSQ is prioritising this matter, working closely with the Noosa Shire Council, and anticipates making further announcements during the drafting process.” Sandy Bolton told Noosa Today: “The MSQ consultation covers a number of recommendations, with some that could be implemented immediately, such as any potential speed changes, while others that require legislative change would take longer. “I am awaiting notification of the timeline for when the outcomes will be released, as well as how long it will take for any changes to be implemented. “It has been a long and often frustrating journey, and understandably I am as eager as anyone to see changes that will result in a safer, happier sharing between users of our river.” Noosa Today understands many longtime local river users feel that we are closer to achieving fundamental changes to river management that will result in a safer river for all. Let’s hope they’re right.

By Erle Levey Auctions in Noosa may have ended on a quiet note in the last two weeks of 2022 but they hit back strongly on Saturday for the start of this year. It was three sales out of three at the on-site auctions, with prices showing just how much they have risen over the years. More than 120 attended the auction of 74 Upper Hastings St, Noosa Heads, with Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate. Held in the street - a testament to the quiet neighbourhood - the auction was of a 686sq m property initially purchased in 1957 for 212 pounds. The modest two-bedroom, one-bathroom house was built in 1972 and has been in the same family ever since. The headline Fifty Years Later, Little Cove Cottage Set to Go World Class, said it all about the listing, which had always evoked incredible interest. Tom Offermann likened it to a barn find: “People see a little cottage and wonder if the owner will sell it. I knew an artist who rented it for many years, and he told me hardly a week went by without someone knocking on the door, asking if the property could be bought.” Last Saturday, after multi-generational family celebrations over the five decades, the modest Little Cove green and cream cottage with frangipanis out the front, and a rear garden melding with the Noosa National Park reserve, was sold that day. There were seven very excited registered bidders and after a start of $4.5m then enthusiastic to-ing and fro-ing, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald declared the landmark property sold for $5.75m to interstate buyers with existing local property interests, intent on building their dream home. At the top of the 200 steps from Hastings St and 700m to Little Cove Beach, it opens up the possibility of Noosa River, North Shore and hinterland views, within a high density zoning of a 12-metre height allowance, subject to council approval. The two-level house features timber floors, enclosed front verandah with view to hinterland, French doors to terrace, frosted glass sash/louvre window, two queen-size bedrooms; and bathroom with shower and WC. The kitchen/dining comes with new Hisense fridge and stove/cooktop. The lower-level features laundry, two store rooms, WC plus carport.

The original two-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 686sq m at 74 Upper Hastings St, Noosa Heads. People have been holidaying in the area over many years, and been wondering what’s going on with the property, Nic Hunter said. “It’s never been for sale, until now.’’ Saturday also saw the sale at auction of a two-storey house at Sunrise Beach for $1.165m, the proceeds going to charity. Warren Evans at Laguna Real Estate took the original ’90s house at 7 Columbus Ct, Sunrise Beach, to the market. It offered four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two-car garaging and pool on 640sq m. The previous owner was an artist and had a studio downstairs which opened up the potential for dual living. His art works had already been sold for charity at the Poinciana Ave gallery in Tewantin, through a silent auction. Proceeds of the house sale were also to go to charity, with the Salvation Army as the main beneficiary. The buyer, from Melbourne, builds homes for those suffering from domestic violence. Meanwhile at Boreen Point, Roger Omdahl of Laguna Real Estate took an elevated 506sq m at 38 Woongar St to the market. Regarded as among the best views in Boreen Point, the auction of the property attracted a crowd of more than 90. With two-street access, the property has a north-easterly aspect looking over Lake Cootharaba to the Great Sandy National Park. The original house, Eagles Nest, had been removed while a steel garage offered secure boat storage to Urunga Pde. Auctioneer Justin Voss declared the property “sold’’ at $1.050m to Brisbane buyers.

Churches’ day of mourning Uniting Churches in Noosa will hold Day of Mourning services on Sunday 22 January to lament the way land was taken from Aboriginal communities and their culture, law and spirituality despised and suppressed. A focus for services in Noosa will be a painting that depicts the story of a massacre believed to have occurred at Murdering Creek. No doubt many people will have seen the Murdering Creek Road sign as they’ve travelled the Sunshine Motorway. The real story of the massacre at the creek, that was thought to have occurred in 1862, is unknown, with the only details of it in historical record to be found in a letter written in 1944 by William Low, who was not alive at the time of the massacre, and published in a book by Dave Bull, titled Short Cut to Gympie Gold. According to Low’s account of the story, which occurred 160 years ago on the Yandina Station, which then extended to the southern shores of Lake Weyba, local Aborigines believed they were entitled to help themselves to cattle on what had always been their Traditional Lands. A number of elements resulted in armed station managers or ’agents of the state’ luring a group of Kabi Kabi people to the creek and killing them. Retired Uniting Church minister Neil Sims said local Indigenous artist, Sam Jones, shared with him the significance of the oral tradition within the Aboriginal community and how he takes seriously the stories passed down. Sam has created an interpretation of the massacre in a large painting that will be a central part of the Day of Mourning services at Sunrise Beach and Tewantin on Sunday 22 January. Sam will also be playing his didgeridoo and singing The Ballad of Murdering Creek. The Uniting Church Assembly has asked all its congregations to observe an annual Day of Mourning on the Sunday before Australia Day.

From about 1940 to 1955, a number of churches observed an annual Day of Mourning for the Indigenous people of Australia. Included in the service is an act of lament, which includes this section: “We lament the way in which their land was taken from them and their language, culture, law and spirituality despised and suppressed. We acknowledge and lament the way in which the Christian church was so often not only complicit in this process but actively involved in it. We lament that in our own time the injustice and abuse has continued. We have been indifferent. Gracious God, hear our confession ---“ In his artistic interpretation of the Murdering Creek massacre Sammy Ray Jones has created a painting across six panels. The panels tell the story of the killing of cattle by Aborigines on Yandina Station, men from Yandina Station planning to put an end to the killing of cattle, the use of a decoy to attact Aboriginals to Murdering Creek in their canoes and station men opening fire on the

Aboriginals, killing most of them. In his painting a high-rise building, palm tree and pineapples represent local white society. But Indigenous and non-Indigenous living together reconciled is the dream of the artist and this is depicted in the surrounds of the painting which are full of the rich animal and birdlife of the Noosa area. The first Day of Mourning of Aboriginal people in Australia was in Sydney in 1938. About 100 Aborigines gathered in Australia Hall and passed the following resolution: “We, representing The Aborigines of Australia, assembled in conference at the Australian Hall, Sydney, on the 26th day of January, 1938, this being the 150th Anniversary of the White man’s seizure of our country, hereby make protest against the callous treatment of our people by the white men during the past 150 years, and we appeal to the Australian nation of today to make new laws for the education and care of

Sam Jones artistic interpretation of the Murdering Creek massacre. Aborigines, we ask for a new policy which will raise our people to full citizen status.“ After this, from about 1940 to 1955, a number of churches observed an annual Day of Mourning for the Indigenous people of Australia, the retired minister said. He said as a sign of their desire for reconciliation between the First and Second Peoples of Australia, the Sunrise Beach congregation has entered into a memorandum of understanding with a local Indigenous group which is using the church grounds as a gathering place. Day of Mourning services will be held at Uniting Churches at Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach at 8am and Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin at 10am on Sunday 22 January.

Great Walk: what’s next? By Phil Jarratt As we reach the end of the 60-day period of grace following the signing of a Cooloola Indigenous Land Use Agreement between Kabi Kabi First Nations and the state government late last year, interested parties are anxious to hear what’s next for the controversial Great Walk ecotourism project. Unable to spend much more time outside the media cone of silence that has enveloped the project, Noosa Today decided to focus instead on the little-known fact that one of the world’s most innovative travel companies is potentially the key player in developing a vision for the Cooloola Great Walk. Last May CABN, the successful commercial proponent for the Great Walk, and Melbournebased Intrepid Travel announced an equity partnership that would see the sustainable travel group with impressive global reach invest almost $8 million in the growth of CABN’s off-grid accommodation business and help integrate it into their own Australian small group travel itineraries. While this barely caused a ripple beyond the travel trade media, it had significant ramifications for the Great Walk, if the Kabi Kabi were to vote in the Cooloola land use agreement. The partnership was also exquisitely timed, as trend watchers in the travel industry were beginning to predict a boom in off-grid travel as we came out of Covid. The EuroNews travel trend report for 2023 dubbed it “regenerative travel”, noting: “The next iteration of ecotourism goes beyond calls to tread lightly and leave no trace. In 2023 the focus moves towards nature-positive and carbon-positive travel. Tour operators, destination bodies and hotels are tasked with the job of actively repairing, restoring and investing in nature in order to keep pace with consumer sentiment. Spurred by the pandemic-born trend for immersion in nature, a growing number of travellers will seek to distance them-

selves from other people by ditching rooms in favour of rural huts and cabins.” While the equity partnership between CABN and Intrepid covers a range of projects around Australia, with the Cooloola ILUA about to be confirmed, Intrepid’s vast experience and commitment to developing First Nations sustainable tourism models is expected to become a major factor in future partnerships with Kabi Kabi. Of course, CABN founder and chief executive officer Michael Lamprell already has a strong track record in working with Indigenous communities, but Intrepid over the past decade has taken it to the next level in Austra-

lia and overseas. Founded by travel buddies Darrell Wade and Geoff Manchester in 1989, over three decades Intrepid has grown to be the world’s largest small-group adventure travel company, made up of four tour brands - Intrepid Travel, Peregrine Adventures, Urban Adventures and Adventure Tours Australia, as well as a not-forprofit, The Intrepid Foundation. The company offers more than 1150 trips across every continent, all designed to offer a true experience of local culture. Intrepid Travel has been carbon neutral since 2010 and is renowned as a leader in responsible travel. Although the company offered First Nations’

Intrepid managing director Brett Mitchell. components on some of its itineraries from very early days, its full embrace of reconciliation began in 2018 with the first Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, introduced to help build respectful relationships with First Nations’ people around Australia. RAP, as it’s become known, guides Intrepid’s commitment to reconciliation, with two First Nations advisors on its working group helping to develop commercial relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, incorporate new experiences on their itineraries and bolster the team’s understanding of the purpose and significance behind cultural protocols.

RAP has helped increase First Nations tourism experiences in Australia from 12 in 2019 to more than 50 by 2022, a year in which Intrepid spent more than $500,000 with Indigenous businesses and suppliers. In 2023, the company’s global trip offering includes more than 100 First Nations experiences in New Zealand, Costa Rica and Mexico as well as Australia. Among these are a Mayan village medicinal garden visit and textile weaving workshop in Mexico and a five-day Queensland Scenic Rim walk, led by host Gurruhmun Old Man Kangaroo, a Ugarapul and Bidjara man. Intrepid’s work with the Taungurung Land and Waters Council in Victoria in developing a cultural tour guide program is another interesting parallel with what they might bring to Cooloola. Aimed at providing the skills and capacity for the guides to confidently tell their story through immersive tourism experiences on country, the program involved identifying potential guides and helping hone their skills, but the learning was a two-way street, with Intrepid’s instructors coming away with an enhanced understanding of the cultural protocols around storytelling. Intrepid Travel’s managing director for Australia and New Zealand, Brett Mitchell supported the importance of sharing rather than giving knowledge in an exclusive interview with Noosa Today this week. NT: Right now, how involved is Intrepid with training Kabi Kabi people for jobs on the Cooloola Great Walk? BM: At this stage it’s still very early in the process, with the ILUA only being signed late last year, too early to give you a timeline, but we’ll be hoping to develop them soon and start to work through what a Cooloola program might look like. But we’ve had our people up there with Michael Lamprell, basically getting to meet the Kabi Kabi people and introduce them to what Intrepid does, what our values are and what the business stands for. NT: And what role does CABN play in that? BM: We haven’t mapped that out at the moment but the intention is to create a genuine

partnership between CABN and the Kabi Kabi community, with Intrepid contributing training programs and product expertise, and distribution when it comes to that, but a lot of this will be driven by CABN and Kabi Kabi working up the commercial models and the skill sets required. But the big element will be learning from the Kabi Kabi about their connection to country and how that plays out in the walk. Intrepid has had considerable experience working with Indigenous people in Australia and elsewhere to develop training programs and to build capacity for their communities in and around tourism. It’s a complex business but we’ve had 33 years of managing sustainable, small group travel and we want to share that with the Kabi Kabi. Being a B-Corp organisation [a global certification program for businesses that demonstrate they benefit people, communities, and the planet] means looking after all stakeholders, and that’s what we intend to do in this partnership. NT: I was aware that Intrepid had been doing small group travel for more than 30 years but the Indigenous involvement is somewhat

more recent, is it not? BM: We’ve predominantly been an outbound international travel business, taking Australians to other destinations, but we’ve had a small component here dating back at least 15 years. But it’s fair to say that in the beginning our First Nations experiences were fairly limited. Our serious commitment came when we started talking about a Reconciliation Action Program in 2016. Then our goal was to introduce First Nations experiences on all of our Australian itineraries. Now we have about 80 Australian itineraries and our goal is to give all of them a First Nations voice. We’re making progress but there’s a lot of work still to be done. NT: How does the Cooloola Great Walk project compare in scope with what you’ve done in Taungurung? BM: I think it’s very different, but it’s still very early stages in Intrepid’s involvement whereas CABN has been there for three years. Over the next 12 months we’ll be spending a lot more time on country with the Kabi Kabi to determine those things, but the work we’ve done

with the Taungurung Land and Water Council has been an important part of our journey in learning how we can make tourism a force for good within First Nations communities. So I think we would want Cooloola to be another embodiment of the same principle of bringing economic empowerment that is sustainable, appropriate and in the interest of all stakeholders. Hopefully we can play a part in that over the next decade. NT: Next decade? That’s an interesting timeline because we haven’t been given a clear indication of when the commercial proponents might bow out and leave it to the Kabi Kabi. Can you explain the long-term vision? BM: I believe the lease is 30 years, and as a business we would want to be able to contribute to economic empowerment and bring in our skill sets where they’re needed, and then work out how we continue to support that over the longer term. Any successful business needs partners, and that’s how Intrepid has evolved. What do we see as success in this instance? Seeing Kabi Kabi fully owning and managing a successful and sustainable tourism business.

Industrial gin bar opened By Abbey Cannan A hidden gem has opened in Noosa’s industrial bar scene as Seabourne Distillery was given the green light to bring their distillery bar to life. Tucked amongst the creative spaces of Rene Street, Noosaville, they’ve been distilling gin, and racking up global awards, since early 2020, yet they’ve been unable to open their doors to the public... until now. After almost two years’ working with the Noosa Council, Seabourne’s bar has been given the tick of approval. “It was great to finally have the support of Mayor Clare Stewart, Leo Jensen and the Noosa Councillors,“ Seabourne’s founder and long-time Noosa local Hayden Weir said. “Our venue has the ability to push the limitations of a what’s possible in a cocktail as we’re able to work with our master distiller to create our own exceptional spirits.“ He has partnered with his mates, who are a couple of familiar local faces, to open and run the distillery’s bar program. Dylan and Duncan Campbell, whom you might recognise as hospitality veterans of Noosa, have taken the reins to showcase Seabourne’s award-winning spirits using seasonal and local ingredients, modern techniques, and native Australian botanicals. “I grew up with Dylan and Duncan, and as early supporters of Seabourne, we often caught up to throw around ideas for the brand. The stars aligned late last year to bring them on as partners and we jumped at the opportunity,” Hayden said. The bar leverages the distilling expertise of Thiago Lopes, Seabourne’s master distiller, with the opening menu featuring cocktails that use single distillates of sea parsley, bush tomatoes, native river mint and maarr (native lemongrass). In addition to native botanicals, the bar is

Seabourne Distillery was given the green light to bring their distillery bar to life. focused on sourcing locally. “Our town has an abundance of great producers and creatives, so it makes sense to think local when it comes to supply and partnerships. For example, we partnered with our friends at Entity coffee (Sunshine Beach) on a Cold Brew and Wattleseed liqueur for a cocktail on the opening menu,” Dylan said. “The liqueur is so good by itself that we’re already talking about it being the first release for a distillery-exclusive bottling.” Armed with a Artisanal license, Seabourne is restricted in what they can sell over the bar. “It’s an interesting challenge with the Artisanal license as we need to produce everything we sell. On one hand, it’s restrictive, and on the other, it’s been amazing to work with Thiago to expand what we produce to include barrelaged gins, liqueurs, amaros and bitters,” Duncan said.

“With the distillery predominantly focused on gin, we’ve challenged ourselves to innovate on the drinks list to ensure that we can satisfy guests that aren’t necessarily keen on gin. For the whisky drinkers, we’ve created CHERRY, an Old Fashioned-style drink with Coastal Dry gin, cherries, toasted coconut and cacao. For the craft beer drinkers, PEACH, a refreshing take on a sour beer with Pacific gin, peaches, mosaic hops, verjuice and local lemons.” The cocktail menu features two sections – SEASONAL and STAPLE – with the former focused on fresh seasonal produce and the latter on classic cocktails done with a Seabourne twist. The menu will change regularly, using abundant local produce in drinks that suit the season. In terms of service, “you’ll see Dylan’s signature charm at the fore. I’ll bear the brunt of the

Lush forest replaces pasture on Sky Ireland’s property, holding back soil erosion.

NDLG begins work with Sky Ireland on her property.

Holding back Kin Kin dirt By Margie Maccoll Sky Ireland was the third property owner to sign on to Noosa and District Landcare Group’s Keeping it in Kin Kin (KIIKK) project, established after University of the Sunshine Coast studies (Lamb, 2011 and Tully, 2012) identified Kin Kin erosion as the key contributor of excessive sediment and nutrient load in the Noosa River Catchment. Further studies revealed more than 2.4 million cubic tonnes of soil eroded over just a seven year period. Sky had been carrying out her own weed management and revegetation works for more than 20 years and was a long term participant in the Noosa Council’s Land for Wildlife program when she contacted NDLG. Her 5.7ha property was made up mostly of native bush with small areas of pasture for her two horses. After discussions with NDLG she decided to reduce her pasture size and restore the riparian area of a Kin Kin Creek tributary and an infrequently flooded gully in order to prevent future erosion. “Having two water courses on my property I have always been mindful of the health of our waterways. I took it a step further and invited [NDLG project officer] Jamie Knight and his team to assess what else we could be doing to Keep it in Kin Kin for healthier waterways down-stream,” Sky said. “The enthusiasm for what we could achieve was fabulous, the end result being a sizeable area surrounding both waterways with a lush forest in the making.” NDLG president Phil Moran said since implementation of the project in June 2020, KIIKK has worked on 25 properties, nine being pastural properties grazing between 400 and 700 head at any given time. “In that time NDLG has completed over 4.3km of riparian zone restoration, 8.9ha of hillside and gully revegetation, put 17,096 plants in the ground consisting of over 250 species (four from our threatened species program) and has erected 2.3km of cattle exclusion fencing to protect waterways,” he said. The reason behind the large losses of Kin Kin soil dates back partly to its geological origins and partly to the period between 1866 and 1900 when the majestic Kin Kin Scrub of Red cedars, giant Kauri pines and incredible Hoop pine was extensively cleared for timber, some even finding its way to the internal staircase of Queensland’s Parliament House. Since then the land has had a myriad of farming uses, including beef cattle, dairy, bananas, beans, peas, pineapples, sugar cane, and other small crops. In recent years there has been an increase in landholders who are looking to diversify, seeking more sustainable uses of the land and the area has seen an increase in boutique crops such as coffee beans, organic greens, alpacas for the fleece and dairy goat farms specialising in milk and cheese production. Lake Cootharaba is fed primarily by two main river systems; Noosa River, fed by Teewah Creek, flows through Cooloola National Park, and Kin Kin Creek. Of the two systems 16 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 January, 2023

NDLG president Phil Moran. USC researchers identified that Kin Kin creek was the major contributor of sediment influx and studies revealed the lake to have unnaturally high levels of Total Nitrogen along with high levels of sediment load on the benthic floor. In addition to the threat to Lake Cootharaba, the riparian ecosystem for this area has a percentage of remnant Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia (LRFSTA), listed as critically endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). After the source of the river catchment’s

Picture: ROB MACCOLL sediment was uncovered about 10 years ago NDLG commissioned a report from Healthy Land and Water (HLW) to provide the data needed to tackle the issue and highlight worst erosion areas. Analysis of remote sensing imagery, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDaR) and the layering of images collected over the period of 2008 – 2015, established the origin of sediment and erosion type. Comparing elevation and slope, geological and soil type and increase or loss of soil levels, problem areas, soil movement, the type of erosion and the likelihood of erosion could be determined.

The study concluded that for the catchment of only 22,000ha, more than 2.4 million cubic tonnes of soil, or the equivalent of 191,284 large dual axel soil delivery trucks filled with soil was mobilized between 2008 and 2015. Phil said the HLW report provided an excellent picture of high, mid and low priority sub catchments as well as “hot spots” and erosion types in Kin Kin. “This allows NDLG to enter any address in the Kin Kin catchment and immediately gauge how important remediation works would be for any given property,” he said. Kin Kin property is primarily privately owned, with a small percentage of State land, Council managed reserves, National Park, and State Forest. Landholders near to the “erosion hotspots” are approached by NDLG and asked if they would like to participate in the project. KIIK is aimed at keeping Kin Kin’s soils in place through reduction of soil movement, stream erosion and fine sediment mobilisation with an expected result being an overall improvement of waterway health and water quality within the Noosa River and Lake Cootharaba systems and an increase in agricultural productivity. NDLG is working with landholders within priority areas of the Kin Kin catchment, including Wahpunga Creek, Kin Kin Creek, Western Branch, Golden Gully and Kin Kin Township. Through the project landholders are provided financial assistance and support to implement improvement strategies such as installing waterway and gully fencing to control livestock, installing off-stream water sources for livestock, planting in waterways, gullies and hill slopes and repairing erosion areas. They are also helped to improve soil health and increase quality of productive top soil on farming land as well as manage weeds. “We want to continue to engage with the community to improve the catchment,” Phil said. In addition to KIIKK’s on-ground works, NDLG has conducted monitoring of the ambient water quality in the main creeks of the priority catchment areas of Wahpunga and Kin Kin. “This monitoring will establish a baseline against which we can compare future water quality parameters in an effort to measure project impacts with ongoing monthly ambient water quality monitoring at 10 monitoring sites - four along Wahpunga creek and six along Kin Kin creek,” Phil said. “We have 23 data points collected from each of the 10 sites and by December this year will have the minimum of 24 data points needed to perform meaningful analyses and be better able to identify trends.” With more landholders keen on adopting erosion measures, expanded water quality monitoring and three-year funding from Noosa Council, Phil is optimistic headway is being made to prevent soil eroding from Kin Kin into the Noosa River system.

The Straya Day date game Opinion by Phil Jarratt Last week Unitywater joined a growing number of organisations and companies offering employees the opportunity to swap the 26 January Australia Day public holiday for another day in lieu. It’s hard to know what it says about our country when a significant and growing number of us are ashamed to celebrate our national day, but Unitywater chief executive officer Anna Jackson said: “There are many things to celebrate about being Australian, however Unitywater recognises that 26 January doesn’t represent an inclusive and unifying day for everyone. Giving our people a choice is another way to demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation and provides a more respectful choice for everyone and for our First Nations team members.” While people who feel uneasy about celebrating the arrival in Sydney Cove of 11 shiploads of British soldiers and convicts are not necessarily swept up in the rhetoric of the Invasion Day protesters, they may well be just as confused as the myriad people who have been debating this issue every January, in the media, the pub and around countless beachside and backyard barbecues since 1994, when Prime Minister Paul Keating, fresh from the triumph of Mabo, confusingly shifted the holiday from the last weekend of January to the specific date of the 26th, aligning it with the events of 1788 just as we were beginning to embrace the concept of Native Title. Clearly Keating didn’t see it as a celebration of an invasion. But some historians and activists certainly had, dating back more than half a century to the late 1930s. The Oxford Dictionary defines invasion as “the act of an army entering another country by force in order to take control of it” and, strictly speaking, that’s not what happened on 26 January 1788. It’s interesting to look back at what actually happened on that date, and to go back 18 years earlier and ponder whether any kind of invasion could be said to have taken place in 1770. Having observed the Transit of Venus in the South Pacific, Lieutenant James Cook and a crew of 94 aboard the brig HMB Endeavour sailed south to New Zealand then west to what they assumed was the uncharted Great South Land and followed its coastline north from April to August 1770, before naming it New South Wales and proclaiming it for His Majesty King George III by hoisting the English colours in the sand at a cay just beyond the tip of Cape York (given the name Possession Island) on 22 August and firing off a few volleys before departing for home. Despite the fact that Cook and his crew had not only seen inhabitants in every place they dropped anchor, but had land parties engage with them and on at least two occasions open fire on them, back in England, Cook and his botanist Joseph Banks informed the government and the Crown that the possession had been made under the then-acceptable doctrine of terra nullius, meaning that no one lived there.

Oil painting of the First Fleet arrival, 1788, by John Allcot, 1937. But terra nullius was not officially proclaimed, with the benefit of hindsight, for another 65 years, by which time the people who thought that living there for more than 60,000 years gave them some sort of rights of possession were mounting a rearguard action that become known as the Frontier Wars. Meanwhile, in the 1780s, the British penal system was bursting at the seams since they’d lost their convict dumping grounds in Africa and America. Although Cook was long dead, murdered by Hawaiians who apparently took issue with his definition of terra nullius, his vision of Botany Bay as the capital of the colony of New South Wales seemed fit for purpose and, in due course, the fleet of criminals and their keepers, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, sailed into Botany Bay on 19 and 20 January 1788. It took Phillip just a couple of days of further exploration to realise that there were better options for a settlement than scrubby Botany Bay, and on 25 January he sailed the Supply north to what would be named Sydney Cove, followed overnight by the rest of the fleet. As the master of historic reimagining, Manning Clark wrote in the first of his six-volume History of Australia: “In the afternoon [of 26], the officers and marines having landed, the flag was hoisted on shore, while four glasses of porter were drunk to the health of their Majesties and the Prince of Wales, with success to the colony. Then the marines fired a feu de joie. The whole group gave three cheers… Such was the display to enliven spirits… on the day European society conducted its first ceremony in Australia.” Clark did not record the reactions of the

inhabitants who weren’t officially there, looking on hidden behind the tree-line around the cove. Two hundred years later, just after midnight on 26 January, I waited with a photographer on a wharf in Botany Bay, then boarded a tall ship called Our Svanen to join the First Fleet Re-enactment as it sailed into Sydney Harbour from first light. The Bicentennial celebration was a riotous, joyful affair, pretty much free of controversy or protest. There were no cheesy costume black/ white handshakes in front of the Opera House, or exchanges of boomerangs for rum, but I doubt that it could have occurred 10 years later. Public sentiment was on the move. It just didn’t know yet where it was going. First Nations’ philosopher Noel Pearson has advocated for a two-day commemoration for about a decade now, reasoning: “For Indigenous Australians and the many other Australians who empathise with the view that 26 January is ‘dancing on our ancestors’ graves’, 25 January should be a most important date. For on the eve of 26 January the entire east coast was held under the ancient sovereignty of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tribes, the First Nations of Australia. This sovereignty existed over the entire continent and its islands. “In retrospect, this 48-hour period is the most turbulent in the continent’s history, and for good reason. It is controversial, and will remain so for as long as we cannot find a way to unite around its meaning and reconcile, because profound things happened in those 48 hours. Sovereign possession extending back 65 millennia existed one day, and then a new sovereign possession was unilaterally asserted

Australia’s three flags. Picture: WIKI COMMONS

Philosopher Noel Pearson. Picture: ROB MACCOLL the next day. The new sovereignty treated the ancient sovereignty as if it never existed. “There lies the pain and deeply held injustice. There lies the reason and imperative for recognition.” Personally, I’m not sold on a black Australia Day followed by a white one, but Pearson hits the nail on the head when he explains our Australian story in these terms: “The ancient Indigenous heritage which is its foundation, the British institutions built upon it, and the adorning gift of multicultural migration”. Let’s choose a day – any day but 26 January – and celebrate all of that, while remembering the injustices and the sacrifices along the way.

Big year ahead for council Transport action 2023 is underway and just like the previous three years at council it is shaping up as a big one. This week our free holiday buses have clocked up more than 1 million passengers. Clearly, Noosa locals and visitors have embraced the Go Noosa Holiday program since its introduction. Along with providing free travel on all five local Tanslink bus routes, the program has introduced the Go Noosa loop bus and a temporary Peregian Beach to Noosa Heads service. This Christmas/New Year holidays also saw the introduction of the first electric bus, powered by 100 per cent renewable energy. On the back of this incredibly popular initiative, Noosa Council has continued to fund another 12 months of the Free Weekend Bus Trial. The trial includes existing Translink services 626,627,628,629 and 632 covering Tewantin, Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Noosa Heads, Noosa Parklands, Noosa Junction, Noosaville, Cooran, Cooroy, and Pomona. We’re encouraging everyone to get out of their cars and on the free buses and take full advantage of the trial. Hinterland works Trail 5 works, including upgrading the trailhead facilities in both Pomona and Cooran will improve the trail experience and town connectivity. Works include realignment and widening of the trail, drainage upgrades and new wayfinding and interpretative signage. In Cooroora Mountain Park Pomona works include sealing of existing gravel car parks, pavement rehabilitation and drainage works,

funding from the Australian and Qld Governments’ Local Economic Recovery Program. Hinterland infrastructure Speaking of the hinterland, roadworks are set to get underway on Middle Creek Road in Federal this week. In a boost for the hinterland, the roadworks will improve safety and road conditions on Middle Creek Road, Federal between Federal State School, and Andersons Road. Middle Creek Road will remain open during the works and traffic control will be in place where needed. Council is conscious of the additional traffic using Middle Creek Road, while the Black Mountain landslide is being repaired. The upgrade of Middle Creek Road will provide a safer route for vehicles, once completed and all efforts will be made to minimise the disruptions during the upgrade works. Council is hopeful works will be completed in three months weather permitting and we thank residents and motorists for their patience while work is under way. Health and wellbeing Like most years, I start the year off with a resolution to be healthier and exercise more. This usually lasts until mid-February and by then life has gotten in the way and my best laid plans are just that, plans. However, with Noosa Council’s 2023 Living Well Programme up and running, getting healthy has become that much more accessible and easier providing low cost and free activities to improve your physical, social, spiritual and mental well-being. Living Well Noosa allows you to try yoga, tai chi, aqua aerobics, plus other activities, and

events specially designed for seniors with our Living Well Seniors programme. The initiative takes a holistic approach addressing a range of health dimensions and is the first fully funded programme of this kind delivered by Noosa Council. Find out more at noosa.qld.gov.au/ living-well-noosa Environmental support Noosa Council is pleased to be a part of the annual Clean-Up for Turtle Hatchlings Day. The event brings locals together to help clean-up local beaches to give turtle hatchings a clear passage as they make their way from the dunes to the water after hatching during February. It’s a long running and successful event, now in its 9th year. The dunes near Beach access 50 at Peregian Beach – a known turtle nesting area, will be this year’s Noosa clean-up site (northern end of Peregian Esplanade, opposite Lowry Street) and volunteers can now register for the clean-up between 6-7.30am on 4 February. Please see eventbrite.com.au/e/ clean-up-for-hatchlings-peregian-beach-tickets-516374208157 Community Support Finally, a huge thanks to everyone who donated as part of the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal. We were able to share several thousand dollars’ worth of gift vouchers between the charities and distribute plenty of wrapped gifts to those in need. A special thanks to the Tewantin RSL for being a collection point. Your generosity has helped make a big difference to those doing it tough at Christmas. Until next month, stay safe, Clare.

The Guide MONTY DON’S ADRIATIC GARDENS ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm

Elegant and engaging, British gardener Monty Don (pictured) has a wonderfully warm manner. His screen presence is intoxicating – is it the curly hair, the lilting British accent or his smooth voice? – but it’s only fair to concede that it’s no match for the scenery in his travel shows, which is uniformly magnificent. In this new three-part series, starting tonight, the plant lover and culture connoisseur invites us on a fascinating journey as he explores the influence that the Venetians have had on horticulture, from centuries past through to the present day. Prepare to lose yourself in the scenery as he begins in Venice, visiting lush gardens along the Grand Canal. Later episodes head to the picturesque coastlines of Croatia and Greece.

JAMIE OLIVER: TOGETHER 10, Saturday, 6.30pm

With Jamie Oliver (pictured), it’s about more than just the recipe: he’s peddling an idyllic, laid-back and good-looking lifestyle. The veteran British chef and cookbook author dishes up simple and colourful fare that looks mouth-watering, but the world he inhabits is just as intoxicating. In this new series, scenes of friends and family relaxing and eating at an effortlessly styled table hit all the right aspirational notes. Tonight, Oliver whips up a gorgeous spread that’s the perfect way to say thank you to those you love. The summery feast includes a Mediterranean salmon centrepiece, served with lemon potatoes, garlic-roasted tomatoes and followed by a unique summer pudding. It’s all washed down with strawberry and prosecco cocktails. LUCY WORSLEY: AGATHA CHRISTIE MYSTERY QUEEN ABC TV Plus, Sunday, 8.30pm

Agatha Christie led a life as intriguing as her work. Historian Lucy Worsley (pictured) discovers the origins of Christie’s storytelling magic through the compelling characters and secrets of the author’s life. After looking at the little girl with the “unsettling imagination” and the troubles of her early adult life, in part three, Worsley examines Christie’s later life and discovers how the turbulent change of the ’30s and ’40s ushered in the golden age of her writing. Christie penned some of her most famous works during this time, including Murder on the Orient Express. Worsley explores how Christie found happiness and global celebrity, but still remained the anonymous observer.

Book skin care checks When the sun feels strong on your skin, it is actually prematurely ageing the skin surface, damaging cells beneath the surface with UVA and UVB rays. The team at Noosa Skin Cancer Surgery is reminding the community that regular skin checks are essential as sun spots and melanoma may not even be visible, but can visibly occur within months. Bronzing gels and tanning creams won’t protect you from sun damage unless they have a Sun Protection Factor built in like SPF50. Tattoo ink will not protect your skin either. Skin cancer begins as skin damage, predominantly by the sun and initially visible as Solar Keratosis – but not only, and not always. A well-trained skin cancer doctor has the extra training and knowledge, the experience,

the eyes and the correct tools to assess sun damage and skin cancers. A good skin cancer surgery will incorporate skin imaging to store images of your sun-skin damage for comparative changes, but not solely rely on AI such as mole scanning. If you had a skin check a few months ago, but have just recognised a new suspicious or worrying spot, a good skin cancer surgery will often fit you in for a quick look at that spot if they have previously looked at your skin. Sun spots can change over short time frames. Don’t just trust anyone, trust an experienced skin cancer professional who has extra training and skills and who looks at skin cancers everyday - Noosa Skin Cancer Surgery.

Activate Body co-founders, head coach Tom Molloy and physiotherapist Dr Viktoria Molloy (PhD).

Activate Body detox By Abbey Cannan There’s no better time to make your health a priority than the new year, says Activate Body Health and Fitness physiotherapy consultant Dr Viktoria Molloy. Together with head coach Tom Molloy, the much-loved Sunshine Beach family has relaunched their Activate Body Detox Program, which has left previous clients raving. “The New Year is a great chance for people to reflect on how they are feeling and what they wish to achieve in the coming months,“ Viktoria said. “There is never a perfect time to start detoxing, and certainly with kids home from school it can be challenging, but with the start of school approaching there is no better time to make your health your priority. “Our detox program goes for 7, 14 or 21 Days, and many clients enjoy the low-carb and fasting approach to eating that they adopt these methods for the long term, as the health benefits are so great that clients don’t want to return to their poor eating habits.“ The team at Activate Body Health and Fitness specialise in the physiotherapy and exercise-based treatment of osteoarthritis (primarily knees and hips) and back pain. Viktoria explains, “Two important components of managing chronic knee, hip and back pain is the management of inflammation and weight loss. Excess weight can impact the joints in two ways – being heavier puts more weight through the joints which may increase pain and excess adipose tissue (fat) has an inflammatory effect on the underlying joints.“ “For this reason we have investigated many different ways for our clients to reduce weight and manage their inflammation without resorting to medications which have significant side effects. Research shows that reducing

simple sugars and carbohydrates reduces inflammation.“ For this reason, the team searched extensively to find a detox program that included a low-carb approach. “We did all the research, so you don’t have to,“ Viktoria said. “Our Activate Body Detox Program utilises fasting, low-carb shakes, and high quality supplements which support the detoxification process, and thereby minimise the nasty side effects from detoxing. “Our clients (and also us) rave about this program, and benefits that have been reported include: reduced bloating especially around hands and feet; reduced fluid retention; weight loss (on average clients lose 3-4kg in a week); reduced inflammation (many clients can stop taking anti-inflammatory medications and stay off them); reduced joint pain; reduced sugar consumption and cravings; improved sleep; increased energy; improved mood; and increased skin clarity.“ Clients are supported through the whole detox process with regular emails, check-ins and support from other Activate Body Team Members in their Facebook Group. They also provide support with suitable exercise advice and other methods to increase the detox process (eg. Sauna and ice-baths). Viktoria said nearly everyone can do this program (aside from pregnant and breastfeeding mothers). “If clients have significant co-morbidities and are on high levels of medications we suggest that they get a medical clearance from their GP prior to starting the program.“ If people are interested in doing the Activate Body Detox they can visit the clinic at 4/18 Duke Street, Sunshine Beach, email at hello@ activatebody.com.au or call 5641 1755.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Voice to Parliament is patronising The Prime Minister’s proposed Voice is patronising to Aboriginal people. Australia operates as a Rrepresentative democracy. Every voting Australian is represented in Parliament already. Our Australian Constitution is far too important for any Albo, Linda or Katy meddling in it to create perpetual racial division. Do you have faith in our current leaders rushing head first into a legal quagmire? I don’t. Australians have been working towards reconciliation for decades since Bob Hawke and recently Rudd’s “sorry day”. All voters have to think very carefully before they allow any change to the Constitution. What will another Voice to Parliament achieve for Aborigines in communities when the myriad Aboriginal organisations over decades have not? Before any more bureaucracies are created there needs to be a clean out of the current Aboriginal organisations. Do not be misled by false prophets. Beverley Prescott Atherton, (frequent Noosa visitor)

LENSCAPE

Cashing in The big banks are telling us we don’t use them any more. Well, twice in recent weeks the ATM at the Bendigo Bank in Tewantin has run out of cash, that’s only my experience. When I went into the branch I was told they’re flat out keeping it stocked since all the other banks have closed their ATMs. Also, the teller made the comment that they had opened 80+ new accounts in the previous month. They have usually two tellers in action, sometimes three, not one and a wall of machines. Anyway I reckon it’s go go Bendigo. Peter Betossi, Tewantin

Greater fines for illegal STAs The housing situation for local residents has not improved with the introduction of a system to report disturbances made by visitors renting Short Term Accomodation houses. Many of these houses are not registered with council, because there appears to be no penalty for operating an unregistered STA, so this situation encourages owners not to register their properties. People living in the vicinity of STAs are still suffering the consequences. Because STAs are about making money over and above a normal house rental, the only way to curb the proliferation of unregistered STAs is to introduce drastic punitive measures that hit the hip pocket nerve. A fine well in excess of $10,000 for operating an unregistered STA would be appropriate. As with a substantial sum in unpaid rates, non-payment of such a fine could mean eventual forfeiture of the property. As for properties that have continual disturbances that are being reported to the council, what action is being taken? Is there a move to have a three strikes and you’re out policy to applied such properties? What are the consequences of having a property reported? If there are no consequences, this system is failing the community. It is just a feel-good measure to pacify aggrieved neighbouring permanent residents.

Charmaine Galloway was holidaying in Noosa from South Africa when she took this photo of a Noosa sunset from Culgoa Resort. If you have a Lenscape please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au Not acting to restrict and police STAs will, in the long term, invite much bigger players. Greece has a massive problem with STAs because big corporate interests have been buying up multiple residences in tourist areas and ruining community life there. We need to do much better than the current, totally unsatisfactory, situation. Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Reduce tourist numbers It should be clear that tourist numbers are at an unsustainable level. Over tourism is damaging brand Noosa and the liveability of Noosa for permanent residents. Noosa Tourism’s Tread Lightly Campaign is an attempt to green wash their credentials without addressing the key issue – the need to reduce tourist numbers. Noosa Shire’s vision for the future is Different by Nature. Given this is the long-term picture for the shire I would expect the new Noosa Corporate Plan to include a clear target and strategy to reduce tourist numbers. How do you do this I hear you say? Here are a few suggestions: The Mayor, Noosa councillors, Tourism Noosa and big end of town tourist businesses, in the first instance, need to acknowledge that tourist numbers need to be reduced. The constant increase in tourist numbers should be seen as a failure on their part to protect the Noosa environment and brand. All decisions by the council, Tourism Noosa and business should demonstrate how they contribute to Noosa Shire being Different by Nature. Reduce the level of promotion of Noosa as a tourist destination particularly in peak periods. The council could encourage Tourism

Noosa to do this by ending the $2.6 million rate payer subsidy to Tourism Noosa. Given Noosa doesn’t have any down time anymore, reduce the number, size and duration of events and cease duplicate events. Stop pushing events out to the hinterland, as this strategy does not reduce the pressure on Noosa and is destroying what makes the hinterland attractive. Get serious about implementing the local law on STA. The implementation of the local law on STA is a giant fail on the part of the council. Set a target and develop a strategy to reduce STA, including testing out existing rights principle in the courts if necessary and investigating council’s discretionary powers under the legislation. Tourists should be confined to properly set up and accredited tourist accommodation in tourist-zoned areas. Stop raising the old chestnut that Noosa is a tourist dependent economy, without acknowledging the growth of the permanent population which can support the hospitality industry and the many other businesses, which previously were tourist-dependent. Jobs are so prolific they cannot be filled. Do not create more car parking or boat trailer parking and fully implement the state government’s proposal to manage the Noosa River. Don’t build another pathway over Noosa Hill into Hastings St. Ensure all boat hire businesses operate within their lease area all the time. Confine jet ski launching to Noosaville ramp. In other words, ratepayer funded infrastructure to support even more tourism should cease. Let’s hope people with strong leaderships skills, who care about the environment and liveability of Noosa, and are willing to make tough decisions despite the pressure of vested interest chasing profit maximisation, are thinking about standing for council at the next election. With-

out these types of people, Noosa is becoming just another overcrowded tourist destination with nothing environmentally special to distinguish it, paradoxically at a time when people recognise access to the natural environment is essential for mental and physical well-being. Jeanette Gentle, Noosa

Make Noosa more liveable Good article by Rod Ritchie ( Soapbox 13th Jan). I agree with his observation that Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa have no interest in environmental sustainability, and don’t seem to have any long term plan to make the area more liveable for residents. There seems to be a groundswell of dissatisfaction with the way we are headed, so perhaps council should take heed, or there may be a big shake up at the next local government election. Bruce Hallett, Tewantin

Build car parks Most locals simply avoid going to Hastings Street / Main Beach during the high season and therefore avoid the traffic jams and crowds. Complaining about the traffic is a waste of breath. The problem will continue to exist as long as there is only one way in and out. The simplest way to improve the situation is to build two three storey paid parking buildings in the same location of the existing parking both sides of the bus terminal. If there were 500-1000 extra car spaces, the ebb and flow would cater for the cars looking for a space and thus reduce the traffic. Woody Dass, Noosaville

Funding fast tracks tours for Qld Chamber Orchestra Camerata, Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, Red Chair’s Compass Project of musical acts, Shake & Stir Theatre Co and Shock Therapy Arts will tour Noosa and the Sunshine Coast this year, thanks to state government funding. “The newly streamlined Touring Queensland Fund (TQF) is investing nearly $892,000 for 11 tours with performances from Mapoon and Normanton in the far north to Mount Isa, Thargomindah and Barcaldine in the outback and to the Sunshine, Central and Gold Coasts,” Arts Minister Leeanne Enoch said. “In addition, five of the recipients will also be supported with a further $273,203 to secure full-time industry placements that will boost touring management and production capacity, grow skills and capacity, and create new employment opportunities 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 January, 2023

touring extensively, presenting multiple productions to Queensland schools,” Ms Enoch said. “These are the first touring outcomes supported through Grow 2022-2026, the second action plan of Creative Together: A 10-Year Roadmap for arts, culture and creativity in Queensland, which is supported with an additional investment of $50 million. “Touring Queensland Fund is also the first to be supported by a new approach to funding assessment with a peer assessment panel comprised of 50 per cent First Nations panel members.” Additional single and multi-year applications to the Touring Queensland Fund are now open, and close 27 February for tours starting from May.

OPINION

On The Soapbox Noosa Parks Association Vice-President Michael Gloster

Slow walk to reconciliation For supporters of practical reconciliation, this is a proud time for Noosa. Proud, pivotal and long overdue. Some 200 years after white people arrived on the Sunshine Coast, the Kabi Kabi people are resuming their responsibility of caring for Cooloola country, just as they had for thousands of years before we got here. Through invasion, dispossession, massacre and forced relocation, they never conceded ownership of country. It is now 30 years since Mabo. These things don’t happen quickly. Last November the Native Title owners of Cooloola negotiated a binding agreement with the Queensland Government that provides a pathway for them to once again meaningfully care for Cooloola country by co-managing with the state, by having a voice, by being able to proudly welcome and guide visitors through this beautiful coastal country North of the Noosa River, by being able to reverse the disrespectful way its beaches are being used. Little wonder that Kabi Kabi voted for, then signed, a historic Cooloola Great Walk Indigenous Land Use Agreement with the government. For them it’s an opportunity to welcome, host and guide guests on the multi-day Cooloola Great Walk, to be trained by CABN (selected as the preferred proponent) to conduct all facets of the Cooloola Great Walk as a responsible eco-tourism business, and if they so wish, to take over the whole business as their own when they are ready. Noosa Parks Association has spent the past 60 years progressively building the 70,000 plus hectare Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park. We are proud of the way we have been able to save Cooloola from the ravages of sand mining, pastoral leases, logging, groundwater mining, jet airports and Noosa to Rainbow Beach coastal development. And we are proud that by progressively winning National Park protection for these hectares, by preventing the progressive freeholding of them, the prospect of Kabi Kabi peoples’ Native Title ownership was kept alive. That is now slowly becoming a reality. The myth of a park free of commercial tourism For over half a century, Cooloola has been a magnet for virtually unregulated “eco-tourism” operators from Noosa, Rainbow Beach and Brisbane. Each year thousands of people are trucked,

Cooloola country

Michael Gloster. bussed or boated in by private commercial operators in something like a wild west version of National Park tourism. Many people appear to have no idea of the scale of this commercial presence. This and the 4WD mayhem on the beaches of Cooloola is a world away from a low-key, Kabi Kabi-guided five-day walk with overnight stays in small cabins that is now proposed. We know there are some who either have environmental concerns or are implacably opposed to any commercial eco-tourism in Cooloola regardless of how small a footprint it leaves, who runs it and who benefits. The reality is that Kabi Kabi stewardship is now at the centre of what happens in Cooloola, as it should be. In a practical sense, Noosa Parks Association has embraced the Kabi Kabi aspirations for Cooloola. At the same time we have worked quietly and respectfully for the best possible environmental outcomes. At the fringes, there have been personal attacks and smears directed at NPA, at Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, at the legitimacy of the Kabi Kabi leadership and anyone who engages with them. For some the inconvenient truth

Picture: ROB MACCOLL of our recent progress towards reconciliation is something to be attacked, rather than discussed respectfully. A partnership to tackle the madness on the beach All of this pales by comparison to the most pressing threat to Cooloola. Hoon behaviour, thousands of 4WD visitors at peak times, tonnes of dumped rubbish and human waste and an anything goes approach to the beach section of the National Park has become a major embarrassment and a threat to safety. Some four years ago the Noosa and Gympie Councils formed a working group of Cooloola stakeholders to advise on ways and means of reversing this. A consensus gradually emerged that both beach camping and beach driving numbers needed to be capped during peak periods, and that there should be zero tolerance for hoon behaviour. Since then Queensland Police and Queensland Parks joined forces in cracking down on hoons. However there has been little progress made in capping beach camping and driving numbers during peak periods. Until November, the Queensland Govern-

ment treated the Kabi Kabi people as one of the key Cooloola stakeholders, but no more than that. Following the state and Kabi Kabi signing of the Cooloola-focused Indigenous Land Use Agreement, the state now treats the Kabi Kabi people as an equal partner in managing Cooloola. This could prove a game-changer. Last month, at what will be remembered as a pivotal meeting of the four-year-old Teewah Beach-Cooloola Working Group, the Kabi Kabi participated as an equal partner with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service for the first time. This was a breakthrough discussion. Kabi Kabi’s Brian Warner stressed that for Kabi Kabi people, Teewah Beach is sacred country. He told us how important it was to Kabi Kabi that beach visitors treat the place accordingly, and how necessary it is that beach camping and driving numbers be capped. Kabi Kabi, he said, are determined to see the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park re-nominated for World Heritage Listing. The diverse group of stakeholders around the table agreed. (Disclosure – I have been a member of the working group since its inception.) Cooloola provides one important pathway for the slow walk towards practical local reconciliation between Kabi Kabi people and the wider Noosa-Cooloola community. Of course it is not the only pathway. But it is full of promise. This article was originally published in Noosa Matters last month. Visit noosamatters. com.au

Are short stay accommodation properties here to stay? Perhaps you really can’t have your cake and eat it too. During the Wellington council, Rod Ritchie and Judy Barrass vocally decried the evils of short stay letting, urging Council to do something about it. Now they each write to complain (Noosa Today 13 January) about the quantum of legally forced short term accommodation approvals which have resulted from regulating STAs via the planning scheme. In 2019, councillors Brian Stockwell and Frank Wilkie led the charge with then mayor Wellington to constrain short term letting through the Noosa planning scheme by making STAs ’inconsistent’ in low density residential zones. I voted against that approach and against the new Noosa Plan for that reason. I pointed to Barcelona City Council’s model, where property owners can pay for licenses

annually, if available. Barcelona council is able to set differing license numbers for different precincts (none, few, many) and can crank the settings up or down as needed by circumstances. I argued that one of the problems with putting the onus on the planning scheme was rigidity. Once a property is approved for short term accommodation, the approval is attached to the property forever. And when economic circumstances and community needs change, there is no flexibility – it is not possible to change the settings. The new Noosa Plan only came to a final vote after the 2020 elections. Mayor Clare Stewart and Cr Amelia Lorentson did not vote for the Noosa Plan because of the STA provisions. But they were outnumbered. And the unintended consequences

were to be borne by Cr Clare Stewart’s council. It turned out that under the Queensland Planning Act, if a planning scheme is changed, for a period of 12 months owners can make applications under the superseded scheme. (There was no such thing as STAs being inconsistent in the 2006 Noosa Plan. The detached house definition allowed for short term accommodation.) Also, there are existing use rights which mean if houses have a couple of years proven history of being short term let before the planning scheme change, council is obliged to approve the STA applications. The upshot is that making STAs at houses inconsistent saw a rush of applications which could not be knocked back under the law. That has been the unforeseen consequence of entrenching the rules in the planning scheme. But the time for such retrospective applica-

tions has now passed, so few further approvals are likely. Now in the latest Noosa Today, Rod Ritchie and Judy Barrass bemoan the number of STAs that have been approved since STAs were made inconsistent, seemingly laying this at the feet of Mayor Clare. As if she could have prevented it. Ritchie correctly points out that mooted planning scheme changes to make STAs inconsistent in medium and high density zones are likely to lead to a similar outcome – a rush of applications under the superseded scheme and existing use rights. Unfortunately Ritchie and Barrass offer no solutions. Only the same old complaint. My response? Give me the Barcelona model any time. Friday, 20 January, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 33

Dog Trumpet to play at Imperial Hotel Dog Trumpet will take to the stage at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 3 February for what promises to be a sensational gig, with the band featuring Reg Mombassa and Peter O’Doherty, original members of iconic ARIA Award-winning and Hall of Fame band Mental As Anything. Shadowland is a distinctive blending of psychedelia, folk and blues. The album probes the perils and absurdities of human existence, kicking off with the title track Shadowland, a nervous musing on digital over-surveillance; followed by Nina Simone, a song reflecting on romance and memory. F***ing Idiots points out the shameful idiocy of our addiction to war and militarism; The Ballad of Clayton Looby is an anti-establishment ode to a larrikin surfer. Along with Mombassa and O’Doherty, the Dog Trumpet line-up includes Bernie Hayes on bass and Jim Elliot (Cruel Sea) on drums. Reg Mombassa and his brother Peter O’Doherty began their musical careers playing and writing in the ARIA Hall of Fame band Mental As Anything. Their songwriting contributions to the Mentals included Berserk Warriors, Egypt, Brain Brain, Apocalypso, Surf and Mull and Sex and Fun, Close Again, and Psychedelic Peace Lamp. The Mentals had 20 songs in the top 40 (a record for an Australian band) and a global hit with Live It Up. In 2000, Reg and Pete split from the Mentals to pursue their own sound. Describing what that is can be tricky – an eclectic blend of rock, psychedelic folk and semi-abstract blues; whimsical, political, curious, intimate, scientific, erotic and witty. They are part of a long tradition of left-field song writers and storytellers relative to the canon of work by such acts as the Kinks, Nick Lowe, Squeeze and John Prine. Over the last 30 years as Dog Trumpet they have released eight critically acclaimed albums including their latest, Shadowland, released in November 2022 on vinyl, CD and 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 January, 2023

Dog Trumpet is coming to The Imperial, Eumundi. digitally worldwide via Demon Music Group. Parallel to their music careers, Peter and Reg are also visual artists. Reg is one of Australia’s most recognised artists, well known for his work for the Mambo label, as well posters, graphics, album covers, and many decades of fine art. Peter’s fine art painting focuses on the urban and suburban built environment and is equally well regarded. For the Eumundi show, Dog Trumpet will be showcasing the new album Shadowland along with old Dog Trumpet and Mentals favourites. Tickets $30 (plus booking fee) through Oztix. 18+ event. Doors open 7.30pm.

Reg Mombasa and Peter Doherty will perform in Dog Trumpet at Eumundi.

Cherry Bright - a real treat Hold on to your seats - you’re in for a treat. Cherry Bright, the Ukulele Lady of Noosa and former president of the Majestic Theatre, Pomona, is excited to be performing her own production called The Cherry Show, a musical comedy filled with social satire to mock the ridiculous. Off-the-wall, funny, intelligent, theatrical, inventive, totally irreverent and just a little bit naughty, this show is bursting at the seams with uplifting good vibes, sing-a-longs and plenty of interaction. Cherry is a musician and quirky songwriter who plays ukulele, keyboard, harmonica and spoons. She likes to mock the ridiculous with comedic songs – entwined with social satire. As part of her former duo, The Cherry Ripes, she has performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and many festivals on the Sunshine Coast and North Queensland and many house concerts. Her original songs highlight topical issues such as – Facebook addiction, on-line dating, trendy cafe blues, her aging body, bloody bush turkeys, Brazilian waxing - Ouch, summertime in Noosa and her infamous Cucumber Song. Cherry’s believes that we need more laughter in our lives especially if we have trauma around us. “If we’re feeling down, we need more joy, not less,“ she said. “Bring on the laughter and share it around. Laughter is good medicine and boosts the immune system better than any medicines. We can’t change what is happening around us globally but we can choose whether we laugh or cry. We need to laugh and a sense of community for our mental health so that we have fuller tanks with which to service all other areas of our lives. We need laughter and connection. Life is short so laugh hard.“ Cherry’s first show is also her birthday which was the catalyst to get back on the stage - “before it’s too late“. Special guests in the show include Cherry Attric, Wild Cherry, Green Cherry, Cherry Tart, Sour Cherry, Cherry on a Spoon and Cherry on Top. As a former primary music teacher, Cherry will have you singing along and joining in the fun. Local support act, the very fabulous Poppy’s Puppets will be special guests at the Cooran and Kin Kin Shows. There are several shows coming up at Cooran, Kin Kin, Nambour and Eudlo, all starting at 6.30pm, giving people a chance to experience local restaurants before the show.

Read these Sunny authors By Jim Fagan It’s summer and time to get comfortable under an umbrella in the garden or maybe lie on a beach towel and enjoy two new books by Sunshine Coast authors, Jenny Wellington and Ian Laver. Damengin by Jenny Wellington A country town is suffering the worst drought in living memory and its locals are desperately waiting for drought relief. Sadly, the money has been sent and then spent by the council’s shire clerk, Shifty Grey, and other villains which include the local bank manager. Politics, embezzlement, romance, bikies, Sydney tattoo parlours and lots of laughs fill its pages. Damengin is a delight. Jenny was a Coast rural reporter for many years with stints for Noosa, Nambour and Gympie newspapers, plus two years in Canberra as press secretary for a federal senator. She is also married to former independent MP for Nicklin, Peter Wellington, so she is well qualified to write about the politics and life in a bush town like Damengin and paint its colourful characters—some honest, some shonky. She and Peter live on a cattle farm close to Kenilworth and she told Noosa Today the idea for the book (her first) came to her during the Covid lockdown. “All these characters I had met in my years a journalist were rolling round in my head, saying let me out.” Noosa will have the chance to hear Jenny talk about Damengin next month when she is guest speaker at Meet the Author Day at Noosaville Library on Thursday 16 February, at 10.30am. Damengin is on sale Annie’s Books on Peregian, Berkelouw Books at Eumundi, Booktopia, Amazon, Angus and Robertson and Noosa Book Store. RRP is $28.95. The audio is avail-

Jenny Wellington with her Jack Russell terrier Pup Pup and her book Damingen. Pictures: JIM FAGAN able on Amazon audible. Uneasy by Ian Laver Another novel with a distinctly Queensland colouring is Uneasy, an easy-read thriller. Set in the late 1990s in Brisbane, it depicts Queensland detective, Rodney FitzMichael who has been demoted because of a slapping incident, caught on video, while interviewing a prisoner. His previous subordinate, Lerlene Diplock, is now his boss and they need to reconcile their differences as they investigate the attempted

abduction of a five-year-old boy and the theft of rare orchids. The trail moves from Brisbane to the hinterland and a farm near Esk, and Fitzy must fight with more than his fists to reinstate his standing with the police. Uneasy is the first in a series and, according to Ian, the theme for the next book is Fitzy on the way back so, naturally, the title is Comeback. Said Ian, “He has to restore his credibility and show his bosses that he’s learnt his lesson. Naturally that will be hindered by some others

Ian Laver around him who have an axe to grind.” A former workplace assessor, Ian has lived on the Coast since 1974 and has several short stories awaiting publication. He has received numerous writing awards, including two Emerging Writer Awards from the Henry Lawson Society-- and has found time to start a Japanese poetry haiku group with the Noosa Arts and Crafts Association at Wallace House. Uneasy is available online and at Berkelouw Books, Eumundi, The Bookshop, Caloundra and Wallace House. RRP is $25.

Cohen tribute cabaret at Majestic Theatre in Pomona Noosa’s own roving troubadour Jonathan Anstock (or should it be Leonard Cohen?) returns to the Majestic Theatre at Pomona next week nearly two years after he and his band channelled the life and songs of the great Canadian entertainer to a packed and enthusiastic audience. In that time he has taken the show to nine different venues including Brisbane (twice), Caloundra, Maleny, Nambour and Maryborough. “It’s been a fantastic tour,” he told Noosa Today. “One couple came to me and said, ‘Jonathan, you nailed it. It felt like Leonard was back on stage again.’” Musical director and keyboard player for the show is Sunshine Coast’s favourite Janet Brewer, accompanist for Noosa Chorale, and instrumentalist extraordinaire. She leads musicians Duncan Macqueen (drums), Adrian Alexander (technical production co-

ordinator and guitar) and husband Warren Brewer on bass. Jonathan said, “We have also added a new song, Democracy - is coming to the USA, and it has become an audience favourite.” Cohen’s tongue-in-cheek dig at democracy and the state of the world was written in 1992. “Another philosophical song is The Future which reveals Cohen’s thoughts about where the world might be heading.” Via his passion for Cohen’s songs like Suzanne and So Long Marianne, Jonathan has developed a deep understanding of Leonard Cohen’s life -- from poet to songwriter; from spiritual journeyman to social commentator; from political/religious commentator to futurist. Cohen’s song Hallelujah is probably more famous than the singer/songwriter himself having been recorded by 300 artists. But who was Leonard Cohen?

His life of poetry, song-writing, drugs, sex, spiritual searching, depression, political thought and eventual peace are all exposed in this biographical cabaret which takes the audience on a transcendental journey through the artiste’s life and music. Jonathan said, “The vision is for the show to grow and develop to perform at the highest possible level in Queensland and beyond. Cohen was 79 when he retired. “I hope to keep going for as long as I can! Thankfully, I’m surrounded by a talented and enthusiastic team who fully support the vision.” This year Jonathan intends taking the show to the Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Logan, Bundaberg, Gladstone and more. Interstate performances are also in the offing. “The Spirit of Leonard Cohen,” Majestic Theatre, Pomona, 28 January at 7pm. Tickets $30, themajestictheatre.com.au/whats-onnew-events

Noosa garden blooming After nine months of hard work, the Noosa Community Garden is looking exceptional. Garden spokeswoman Erika Hackett said through sheer perseverance and hard work they had established the garden with amazing help from Noosa Council, Waves of Kindness, students from the Australian Industry Trade College and other local contributors. The garden’s membership has also grown during this period after it located to a prime position close to other community groups such as the Library, Leisure centre, Noosa Parks Association, Noosa Community Support Services, Meals on Wheels and the Respite Centre. “Our garden group meets every Friday at 7.30am, when people walk past the garden we invite them to have a walk through the garden and tell them how things have developed over the past nine months,“ Erika said. “Community Gardens provide space for people to connect with nature, grow healthy food and form deep connections with other locals. Gardening is a great form of therapy, with benefits to well-being through social connections and also physical and psychological improvements.“ Noosa Community Garden will be officially opened on 7 May.

Our People Ron Lane

SLSA coaching course team Narelle Duggan, Grant Wilkinson, Sharlene Kelly and Tracey Bloxsome.

Sharlene Kelly with other members of the SLSA Women’s Mentor Program.

It could not be any better For Noosa’s Sharlene Kelly, the year 2022 could not have been any better. At year’s end, her position in the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia was at a level she thought was beyond her dreams. It was in 1994 that Sharlene obtained her bronze medallion on Noosa’s Main Beach. In that era, a woman’s role and chances of achievement were still somewhat restricted for it was not until the 1980s that clubs were even allowed to admit women as active members. Even then some kept the doors shut on women until 1985-86. ‘’When I joined, women were still struggling to have a strong voice in SLSC. It wasn’t until some years later, that a women’s mentor program came into being. This was a great concept. To create a support group which would give us a strong voice in gaining knowledge in all aspects of surf lifesaving,“ she said. Surf Life Saving created the first women’s mentor program in 2020, designed to strengthen and support females in positions of leadership in Surf Life Saving. The program pairs 21 mentors with 21 mentees who support each other across the next 12 months. Facilitating empowerment, support and leadership skills were part of the program, which participants could then use, and apply to their paid roles inside and outside of surf lifesaving, volunteer activities and everyday life. This was the second time that the program was drawn up. “For us [the women] it was a massive step forward. I always thought that my achievements were limited to my surf club life. “In the last two years I have discovered so much more that I could have achieved at Surf Life Saving national level” After obtaining her bronze Sharlene was instantly attracted to the world of competition. “My first involvement was in boats. “However, after a few training sessions I decided it was not my bag so I switched to single racing ski. “As a result, I represented Noosa in the ski events at the 1997 Australian titles.” It was during the winter of ‘97 that Sharlene, along with club mate Alison Olander, starting travelling to Mooloolaba surf club where she became very interested in the kayaks. It was in 1998 that she switched to the Mooloolaba club. Also, at this time that she met a young clubbie named Chris Kelly was not only to become her lifelong coach, but also her husband. Away from lifesaving, Chris worked as a plumber. Then as a married couple in 2005, they became the proud parents of a son, Indra, and 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 January, 2023

Sharlene Kelly again in 2009 when their second son, Xander, was born. However, her love for ski racing saw her win the bronze medal for the Noosa club at the Australiansin 1988 at Kurrawa Beach, on the Gold Coast. It was what she described as, “One of the biggest surfs that I ever competed in. The break was full of upturned skis, they were all over the place: it was real - hairy.” But then in the late ‘98 season, she switched to the Mooloolaba club. While in Mooloolaba she continued to be successful, winning two gold and two bronze

medals at both state and national titles. Then in 2003-2006 she competed for Kawana, adding another five medals to her tally with two gold, two silver and one bronze. The highlight was winning the 2006 gold medal Interclub World Championship at Lorne Victoria. “It was just an incredible feeling, the world championship.” However, the year 1999 for Sharlene had to be the big year. Not only was she made an athlete of the Queensland Academy of Sport, but also had

her introduction to the sport of sprint kayaking. This again, saw Sharlene continue to achieve. Not only did she win at both state and national level, but she was also chosen to represent her country in the K2 and k4 division and tour Europe for the World Cup. “However, on looking back over everything, I came to realise that it was a QAS scholarship that I had been awarded back in 1998, that really became the stepping stone to my successes.” In the meantime her husband Chris had also made an outstanding contribution to surf life saving. He drew up a surf education program for juniors. This enabled them to receive a properly structed training program. So successful and well received was this, that it was adopted Australia wide. On returning to the Noosa club, she continued to coach. One young lady in particular really caught her eye. Her name was Lana Rogers and she was “incredibly motivated.” Ably assisted by two fellow coaches, Clint Irwin (skis) and Brian Sehr (swim), Sharlene’s positive and aggressive attitude to coaching took Lana to great heights, among them the Open Iron Women Championship of Australia and the legendary Coolangatta Gold. ‘’Sharlene’s approach to the vital aspects of being mentally prepared taught me so much and for that I am grateful,” said Lana. Then in September 2022 Sharlene was appointed QAS sprint kayak coach. This appointment made her the first full- time paid coach on the Sunshine Coast. When she received this appointment, she was over the moon. “Part of the QAS role is to coordinate the YOU FOR 2032 Talent Identification Program, in preparation for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.” As a future goal, her ambition is to become the national women’s sprint kayak coach. “Within Surf Life Saving this works as a part of SLSA women’s mentor program, a network to support and connect all over Australia.” The success of Sharlene Kelly as a competitor and coach, and her husband Chris as a coach and educator, is something in which we can all take pride. Well done to both. I think that it goes without saying that the women’s mentor program would have to be one of the best incentives that has come out of Surf Life Saving Australia’s think tanks, in the last 50 years. To let women into the life saving movement without having them catered for would have to be the no brainer of all time. From all of us in the Noosa community to the women’s mentor program team, to which Sharlene Kelly has made an outstanding contribution, keep up the good work.

SPORT

Thunder is doing it tough By Randall Woodley Last Saturday all the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder’s senior teams were drawn to play on day one of their two-day fixtures. Unfortunately, Sixth Grade had their match abandoned for the day due to the wet outfield at Nambour while Third Grade are in a sound position after day one. However, First Grade, Seconds and Fifths will all be battling hard next weekend to secure wins. Junior cricket The Tewantin-Noosa Cricket Club have for some years supported and encouraged their junior Under 12 players to trial for the Sunshine Coast Representative team to play in the annual state-wide Ian Healy Cup carnival. This year, three of the club’s Under 12 players were selected in the Sunshine Coast Scorchers team and played in the carnival in Brisbane over the school holidays. The three were Henry Blackwell. Lewis Ramsden and Nate Watson. Although the Sunny Coast only had one win during the five-day (50 overs per team per day) carnival, each of the boys contributed well. Henry achieved a personal best score of 40 not out, Lewis managed a four-wicket haul on day three, contributing 11 wickets in total during the week, and some great batting by Nate who, despite carrying a slight leg injury, scored 23 runs in the final match and also took three cracking catches over the week. In a flashback- the other photograph is of the 2009 Sunshine Coast Under 12 Ian Healy Cup team and which also featured three players from the Tewantin-Noosa Club. The three Thunder players were Matt Smalley (now in the Australian Navy), Lachie Gunner who went on to play first grade for Tewantin-Noosa at 16 and now is playing grade cricket in Canberra and Zac Allen who took up a cricket scholarship with Brisbane Grammar and is now playing grade cricket in Brisbane. One of the other members of this team, Nathan McSweeney now plays in the Sheffield Shield competition for South Australia and for the Brisbane Heat in the BBL. Another player in this team was current Lions AFL star player Eric Hipwood. As a matter of interest, the boys brought home the Ian Healy Cup to the Sunny Coast in that year. Senior cricket FIRST GRADE: In their home match against the Caboolture Snakes, Thunder lost the toss and was asked to bowl first. The very strong Caboolture batting lineup started well with a very quick outfield to assist in the run scoring. The Thunder bowlers kept things tight and at drinks they were 3-68 and later they went to lunch at 3-110. Two wickets in the next hour saw them 5-177 and the day in the balance. From there it was one-way traffic. Knowing they needed 300+ in the conditions, they knuckled down until they were 270 and then went big in the last 15 overs to post 418 all out in the last over. The Thunder boys really only dropped one chance and kept their standards up most of the day despite a couple of injuries to bowlers. Dom Taylor took three wickets and youngguns, Tom Stewart and Talon Reichert snagged two each. It was noted by the Thunder team that the Snakes did not declare at 350 and have a bowl but possibly they were nervous that Thunder could have been 0-50 at stumps. It will be a huge challenge next Saturday for the Thunder players to bat the whole day which will be very achievable if they get the same conditions. SECOND GRADE: The team travelled to Palmwoods and batted first. The scoreboard did not read very well for the Thunder, being dismissed for a disappointing 118 runs. The standout player was Jarred Davis with almost half the team’s runs (51). Batting later in the day Palmwoods was 1 -72 at stumps. The first innings points are still available, but it will take a huge effort, and some luck next Saturday if Thunder is to restrict the opposition to less than their score of 118. THIRD GRADE: The team was at home against one of the top sides, Palmwoods. Winning the toss, Thunder decided to send in the opposition on a green and hard looking wicket and bowl first. It soon proved to be the correct decision when Luke Anstey (4-16) took four Palmwoods’ wickets and Tadgh Crowley another before the drinks break. Tadgh then collected another four to have his best ever figures for an innings. (5-30). Ethan Slaney finished the job

Three local junior cricketers who represented the Sunshine Coast in the recent Ian Healy Cup carnival in Brisbane. They are Henry Blackwell, Lewis Ramsden and Nate Watson. with another wicket and Thunder surprised everyone dismissing Palmwoods for 66. All the bowlers were at their best and were aided by good fielding and wicketkeeper Harper Lee contributing with two amazing low catches. Thunder knew they had to bat on the same wicket and used their local knowledge to do the job with patience. They passed the target score, losing only three wickets with Nigel Webster guiding the team with a crafty 49. Palmwoods immediately turned their focus to winning outright and Thunder lost more wickets and finished the day at 9-150 with Richard Boyd (23*) and Tadgh Crowley toughing out the last 15 overs and adding some very valuable runs. It was a solid team effort and outright points are there to take next Saturday. FIFTH GRADE: The team struggled all day against Glasshouse Rangers at their ground. The Thunder was dismissed for one of its lowest score for some years (50) with Farran Cooke top scoring with 19. Then the bowlers had their work cut out for the rest of the afternoon and at stumps the Rangers were 7-251 with Rory Ramsden the best bowler with 3-39. Significant improvement will be needed next week if Thunder is to avoid an outright loss. Women’s cricket The women, playing one short travelled to Glasshouse to take on the only team (Gold) to defeat the Thunder team so far this season. Batting first the women scored 110 for the loss of two wickets with Melinda and Petrina both forced to retire on 30 and Kirsty made 29. Despite tight bowling and much improved fielding, the Gold team was able to pass the target score and win the match. Best Thunder bowler for Thunder was Melinda with 2-12.

Positive start to new year If there was ever three Surf Life Saving coaches with a positive attitude toward the youth of their club it would have to be Wes Berg former Nutri- Grain Iron Man, Nipper coach and former Iron Woman Jade Berg and Adventure Race Organiser Justin Wyatt. Just recently these three dedicated Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving coachers, kept up the famous annual club tradition known as hell week This would have to be one of the best junior programs in Queensland lifesaving. Having now been active for several years, there is nothing better as a confidence builder for the youth of the club. It consists of five full days of training and runs from 5am till 5 pm each day . It starts with swim training, ocean sessions, adventure races, beach challenges, goal setting, race tactics, surf skills, mentorship, bush runs, journaling and much more, giving the nippers an incredible foundation for the competition end for the season. Over 40 nippers all completed the five-day event displaying the evolving talent in the junior program. With the club nippers taking part in such a wide variety of events, some for the first time, it could quite easy be a great opportunity for talent identification and this can be of the utmost importance where our youth is involved. In early January, 13-year-old Claire Cameron was crowned U14 Branch Surf Rescue Champion. Proud coach Wes Berg said, ‘’This young lady was competing in her first ever championship event and topped the field in the points tally, with an incredible 111.5 points out of a possible 120. With this event open to all age groups through to Masters, only one Master received a higher score.” Claire completed CPR, live patient, written exam, run, board, tube rescue and a swim to win her age group. This shows huge promise ahead for Claire at the State Surf Rescue Championships to be held on 4 February. These results show us that the Sunshine Beach Nipper coaching panel must be doing a lot of things right. With a good panel also training the Noosa Nippers, the future is looking good for both clubs. We wish them well. There are many young people who join our clubs, stay for several years, then move on for various reasons. For some it’s work, competi-

Claire Cameron, 13, was crowned U14 Branch Surf Rescue Champion this month. tion or personal. But whatever, we wish them well and occasional like to keep in touch. An example of this is the Bailey brothers, Cooper and Bailey. With both formerly in Peregian then Noosa and now Alexandra Headlands, Cooper has finally begun what could be the start of a success story. Travelling to Manly for the next round of the Nutri Grain Iron Man Series, the first and second round Friday 13 January would be for Cooper one to forget. “Round 1 finished 16th and Round 2 fin-

ished 11th. I had been sick two days before, missed a couple sessions and I guess it took it out of me. “I thought that I had ruined my chances to achieve my goal to requalify for the next years series, which requires a top 10 finish. However, a big talk with coach Jack Hansen and all was back on track for Round 3 and 4 Saturday.” With brother Cooper giving total assistance and mum in the crowd, it couldn’t be better. Cooper finished sixth in the first race and followed up by winning the second. ‘’This second meant that I would start the

last race of the day, the Handicap, in second and this led me to again finishing the day in second place.” The overall result saw Cooper receiving his first ever Nutri Grain Iron Man podium finish. “It was surreal. I remember giving mum a big hug. The rest was all emotions.” Every ironman I have spoken to tells me that he always remembers winning his first ever podium place. Maybe this first podium could be the start of something big for Cooper Williams, formerly of Noosa now Alex. Who knows? Noosa athletics Our team at Noosa Athletics is now back training and head coach Mick Hooper is very confident for the year ahead. ‘’It looks like a very busy season coming up for both our senior and junior competitors .Our first carnival will be the Regional Championships on 4 and 5 February and this will be held at the Sunshine Coast University. “Those who finish in the top four in their division will contest the state titles. With a team of 54 we should have a good showing.” The next event of note will be 24-26 March at Townsville and will be contested by the U13 age group. A top three finish will see them compete in the Australian Titles at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park Melbourne. It is this sort of competition that can make their sport expensive for the family. If they are successful at Townsville, they have to travel home then on to Melbourne at their own expense. A very interesting point regarding a chance of competition against overseas athletes has come to the forefront. Noosa club officials have become aware that the English Language School in Noosa Junction has become something of a second home for international student, aged 18 to 25. Enrolling for a six-month course to study the English language, several have also started competing in the Noosa Athletics Club. Having a good experience, they don’t hesitate to recommend the club to new students, and on arriving home, tell those about to embark, about the famous Noosa Club. ‘’We have met a few and are looking out for others who would be interested in joining our club. It is a win win situation whichever way you look at it,” Coach Hooper said.

World of opportunity recognised for ‘unique’ park A ‘natural and unique’ part of the Sunshine Coast has gained international recognition that could further boost its appeal, along with business and tourism. After an extensive judging process, the Kings Beach Park and Community Precinct has been awarded the Green Flag Award. It is only the fourth Queensland park to receive this prestigious accolade, joining the likes of South Bank and Roma Street Parklands in Brisbane and the Chinchilla Botanic Parkland located in the heart of the Western Downs. The Green Flag Award scheme recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of recreational outdoor spaces around the world. Winning an award brings with it a wealth of benefits, from the status of being affiliated with a prestigious awards program through to tangible benefits such as boosting tourism and opening up revenue opportunities. Sunshine Coast Council Divisional Coun42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 20 January, 2023

Sunshine Coast Council Cr Terry Landsberg and Parks and Gardens team. cillor Terry Landsberg said the international accreditation recognised Kings Beach Park and Community Precinct as a premier beachside destination for community recreation, tourism, and events. “Receiving this esteemed award high-

lights the amazing work undertaken by our dedicated team across Council,” Cr Landsberg said. “Successfully being awarded a Green Flag Award acknowledges the overall vision for Kings Beach Park and Community Pre-

cinct to capture the mountains to the sea character of the city. “The vision also complements and reflects the natural and unique environments of Caloundra and provides a safe, familyoriented recreation and leisure precinct with opportunities for economic and social benefits. Manager Parks and Gardens Nicholas Coluccio said maintaining open spaces our community loved to enjoy was one of Council’s main priorities. “Many of our staff work tirelessly in maintaining this particular park and I’m really proud that their work has been recognised,” Mr Coluccio said. Council also has recently been recognised at a state and national level for the Sunshine Coast Recreation Parks Plan 2021-2031. This latest Green Flag Award confirms one of the many ways it continues to deliver on its Environment and Liveability Strategy (ELS), which provides long-term direction to guide growth and shape a sustainable future for our region.

The Pacific comes alight Just as our pleasant if hectic Christmas/New Year run of easterly swell started to wane, the northern hemisphere suddenly went nuts. There are many legendary stories of monster swells around the world, some of which get bigger with every telling, but in the modern world of surf media, where every man and dog on every beach and clifftop on every coast of the world is armed with telephoto and drone and good to go, there’s not so much fibbing any more. The first mega-swell that I remember being aware of was the Bells Beach Easter swell of 1965, which I learnt about two months after the event courtesy of coverage in Surfing World magazine. Which didn’t stop me from marvelling at the intestinal fortitude of the competitors in a two-hour final of the Bells Classic which was won by a 17-year-old Bonza Bob Conneeley while three more experienced finalists nearly drowned in relentless and huge conditions. One of them, Rod Brooks, who later became a close friend, once told me: “People often say it gets bigger as the years go by, but that day was big!” Next in my memory bank is the giant swell that hit the north shores of the Hawaiian islands in December 1969. It kick-started a winter of memorable waves but is mostly remembered for a day at Makaha when the legendary Greg Noll rode “the biggest wave ever ridden”, paddled in and never surfed again. Greg, who knew no fear, dined out on that wave for the next half-century until his recent death. I loved Greg and his effervescent spirit, but I always thought that wave might have been a little over-stated. Not so, say two friends who witnessed it from the heights of a Makaha apartment block - Albe Falzon and a very young Shaun Tomson. This month Europe offered a preview of what was to come as La Nina loses its grip with more than a week of strong, groomed swell on the French Atlantic coast, with perfect overhead days at Hossegor’s beach breaks and some powerful sessions further south at Guethary/Parlementia. Sadly the same swell origins claimed the life of 47-year-old Brazilian big wave veteran Marcio Freire, who died at Nazare, Portugal on 5 January after having suffered a heart attack following a drilling from a rogue set. This was the first recorded death at the big wave epicentre. The next day, 6 January, it was California’s turn to cop a flogging as a classic bombing low developed in the North Pacific, delivering the coast’s biggest swell in several decades. But as Surfline editor Marcus Sanders noted in by far the best coverage of the Wild West Swell: “Biggest is not always best. Yeah, we get really excited around giant swells, especially when we can (accurately) throw superlatives around. But in the case of last week’s Wild West swell, truth is, it was only actually good at a handful of spots during short windows of tide and wind… It was a historic swell which’ll be talked about for years, but it (mostly) ended up being more spectacle than participatory.”

Big day in the South Bay, with a surfer barely visible on takeoff.

It doesn’t often get this good under the Golden Gate. Picture: SURFLINE The swell wreaked havoc between San Francisco and the Mexican border, as Erika Ritchie reported for the Southern California News Group: “Big waves – some topping 18 feet in Los Angeles County – wreaked havoc as high tides and a winter swell continued to work over the Southern California coastline leading to beach erosion, pier closures, crumbled asphalt parking lots and boats torn from their docks. In the South Bay, piers at three westfacing beaches remained closed as waves more than 15 feet tall pummelled the structures.” Nevertheless Surfline’s band of fearless pho-

tographers braved the elements to provide an amazing pictorial coverage of the swell, and the pockets of protection where surfers managed to ride a few waves. As the Wild West Swell began to fade, another bombing low popped up north-west of the Hawaiian chain, prompting organisers to call the Eddie Aikau Memorial Big Wave Invitational on at Waimea Bay for “Big Wednesday”, 11 January, the first time it had been greenlighted since 2016. Kelly Slater was called out of the water by lifeguards at an unruly Waimea the next day while attempting a warm-up session,

but by that night the event was called off, with a forecast of strong onshore winds set to make it unsurfable. But this didn’t stop the big wave chargers paddling out, and Surfline provided an all-day live feed of the mayhem. It appears the Pacific isn’t done yet, and with the first event of the WSL world championship tour set to run at Pipeline from late next week, who knows what we’ve got in store. Meanwhile, here at home we’ll have to settle for another nice run of east swell to see out the month. Friday, 20 January, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 43

AUCTIONS BOUNCE BACK IN STRENGTH PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY AUCTIONS in Noosa may have ended on a quiet note in the last two weeks of 2022 but they hit back with a bang for the start of this year. It was three sales out of three at the onsite auctions at the weekend, with prices showing just how much they have risen over the years. More than 120 attended the auction of 74 Upper Hastings St, Noosa Heads, with Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate. Held in the street - a testament to the quiet neighbourhood - the auction was of a 686sq m property initially purchased in 1957 for 212 pounds ($424). The modest two-bedroom, one-bathroom house was built in the 1972 and has been in the same family ever since. The headline ‘Fifty Years Later, Little Cove Cottage Set to Go World Class’, said it all about the listing, which had always evoked incredible interest. Tom Offermann likened it to a barn find: “People see a little cottage and wonder if the owner will sell it. I knew an artist who rented it for many years, and he told me hardly a week went by without someone knocking on the door, asking if the property could be bought.” Last Saturday, after multi-generational family celebrations over the five decades, the modest Little Cove green and cream cottage with frangipanis out the front, and a rear garden melding with the Noosa National Park reserve, was that day. There were seven very excited registered bidders and after a start of $4.5m then enthusiastic to-ing and fro-ing, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald declared the landmark property sold for $5.75m to interstate buyers with existing local property interests, intent on building their dream home.

Bidding was keen at at 7 Columbus Ct, Sunrise Beach, on Saturday for the sale of the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool by Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate. 314796

MOSSMAN COURT ACTIVITY Another momentous achievement was the settlement of 47 Mossman Ct on Noosa Sound for $23.25m. It was listed in early December by Tom Offermann Real agent Rebekah Offermann. “Despite the property only being advertised publicly for five days before going under contract,” Rebecca said. “We had actually already been working with the purchasers to find them a waterfront property, so they were one of our first calls.” Property records show it was the third highest sale price in Queensland in the past 12 months, while 24 Arakoon Cres, Sunshine Beach, sold by Tom Offermann Real Estate for $28.5m in April 2022, took out the top spot. SUNRISE AUCTION BENEFITS CHARITY Not that far away, Warren Evans at Laguna Real Estate had a number of registered bidders on Saturday for an original ’90s house at 7 Columbus Ct, Sunrise Beach. The substantial two-storey home at 7 Columbus Ct offered four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two-car garaging and pool on 640sq m. The previous owner was an artist and

had a studio downstairs which opened up the potential for dual living. His art works had already been sold for charity at the Poinciana Ave gallery in Tewantin, through a silent auction. Proceeds of the house sale were also to go to charity, with the Salvation Army as the main beneficiary. About 40 were in attendance for the auction, which was held in the street. Auctioneer Justin Voss saw an opening bid of $700,000 that went to $1.140m in virtually a two-horse race. That was when Warren was asked for his grandson Lachlan Evans to get the sold sign. “It’s going up today,’’ the auctioneer announced. Left and right continued to battle it out 1.150, 1.155, 1.16 now on the right. Then came fresh bidding from in front of $1.165m and that proved very astute. The SOLD sign went up at that. The buyer, from Melbourne, builds homes for those suffering from domestic violence. They will be relocating to Sunrise. THE VIEWS HAVE IT Regarded as among the best views in Boreen Point, an elevated 506sq m at

A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, waterfront house with pool at 41 Dolphin Cres, Noosaville, goes to auction Saturday, 21 January at 9am. 314236 38 Woongar St attracted a crowd of more than 90 when it was taken to auction on Saturday afternoon by Roger Omdahl of Laguna Real Estate. With two-street access, the property has a north-easterly aspect looking over Lake Cootharaba to the Great Sandy National Park. The original house, Eagles Nest, had been removed while a steel garage offered secure boat storage to Urunga Pde. The land has been prepared for construction - cut and terraced - with council-approved house plans, and a geotech soil test available. With an international phone bidder and three or four registered bidders on the ground, auctioneer Justin Voss suggested an opening bid of $800,000 and was with an 850 in front. Seeking further instructions following a vendor bid of $1m, the auctioneer declared the SOLD sticker would go up at $1.050m. After dealing with phone reception issues from the Hong Kong interest the property was declared on the market and sold to the Brisbane buyers who had led the bidding.

WATERFRONT ALWAYS IN DEMAND Price, presentation and position help determine the sale of a property. And waterfront position seems to always be in demand, especially in Noosa. A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, waterfront house with pool at 41 Dolphin Cres, Noosaville, goes to auction Saturday, 21 January, at 9am with Olivier Miller and Melanie Butcher at Laguna Real Estate. “The Dolphin Cres property is experiencing strong inquiries and attendances at the open houses,’’ Melanie said. “Interstate and Brisbane buyer interest is very strong. “The house offers complete privacy with only one neighbour, and is adjacent to Nancy Cato Park. “Over one easy level, the home was virtually rebuilt a couple of years ago. “The outlook is stunning, with views out across the ever-changing waterways to Mount Cooroy. “An easy stroll finds the exciting Gympie Tce, precinct Ricky’s and Hastings St is any easy 20 minute stroll.’’ A sumptuous kitchen features Miele appliances and a massive butler’s pantry. Raked ceilings encourage brilliant airflow and masses of natural light. There is a media room, study nook, storage, air-conditioning and solar. CAST THE NET With Weyba Creek across the street, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house at Noosaville would be the perfect spot to cast a crab net. Melanie Primmer at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property at 73 Lake Weyba Dve to auction Saturday, 21 January, in rooms at 1pm. “There is serious interest,’’ Melanie said. “The few weeks since Boxing Day have been crazy with inquiries. “This is a great property - ideal for locals downsizing due to its position, private yet close to town, and across the street from the water.’’ A house with timeless integrity and beautiful gardens, it is positioned with a northerly aspect for the kitchen while the dining space opens out to the western terrace. The auction will be held at Tom Offermann Real Estate, 92 Noosa Pde,

· A crowd of more than 90 attended the auction of 38 Woongar St, Boreen Point, on Saturday. The 506sq m block with two-street frontage sold with Laguna Real Estate’s Roger Omdahl. 314796 Noosa Heads. MEANINGFUL INQUIRY Roark Walsh at Tom Offermann Real Estate has been seeing heaps of inquiry and good turn-outs to the opens on all the properties he is taking to auction. They are different properties, with different price-points. The properties range from a fivebedroom house with pool on 0.74ha at 4 Godilla St, Coolum Beach, to a two-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront apartment at Noosa Heads. The Coolum Beach property offers privacy close to shops and beach. Built over four levels and with the site having two-street frontage, it goes to auction Saturday, 21 January, at 11am. The waterfront apartment at 9/6 Quamby Pl, Noosa Heads, is set for auction at 12pm on Friday, 27 January. Step out onto the sand from the living area of this ground-level apartment in Noosa Harbour Resort has been brilliantly renovated with an Hamptons-inspired aesthetic. The wide, north-facing terrace offers long views of the waterways including the Noosa Spit and Noosa North Shore, as well as beyond to the Noosa hinterland. The designer kitchen comes with white stone-topped, two-pac cabinetry and breakfast bar. The main bedroom has an ensuite while the twin bedroom has an adjoining bathroom. A fully equipped laundry is nearby. Furnished and with a fully-inclusive inventory for the high-end holiday market, the apartment has experienced back-to-

back bookings. Roark will also be taking a threebedroom apartment and two-bedroom townhome at Sunshine Beach to auction on Saturday, 28 January. STUNNING QUEENSLANDER A Queensland-style house and second dwelling offering seven bedrooms, threebathrooms and pool on 1.36ha at Eerwah Vale is set for auction at 9am, Saturday, 28 January. Kess Prior at Hinternoosa is taking 1068 Browns Creek Rd to the market. With a permanent creek, bore and shed, the property has established gardens with fruit trees, while tropical plantings surround the house and rolling lawns leading right up to the pool. “It is formidable,’’ Kess said, “... a cracking property that has everything. “The dual living or second dwelling option, that has a lot to do with it. “It really punches at the heart strings. “The land is all useable. There is a tree house, a swing hanging from the tree - you can play cricket, bowls or football in the grounds.’’ With up to 60 people through the first open house it seems like a case of quality rising to the top. The Garth Chapman-built home features high ceilings, double-hung timber windows, timber skirting and architraves, elegant blackbutt floors, brass window and door hardware, and a combustion fireplace. There is full insulation, ducted airconditioning and Luxaflex Verishades while the concrete is barely dry on the brand-new magnesium swimming pool. The air-conditioned second dwelling

HOME FOCUS

STUNNING EAST-BREEZY BEACH LOCATION BEACH-STYLE family living keeps on giving in this stunning contemporary residence with Coral Sea and Hinterland views, just 850 metres to sand and surf breaks. Located in a quiet, much sought-after cul de sac, the Garland Design featuring a façade with timber-hued aluminum powder coated battens augmented by an impressive giant banksia, make quite the statement as do the timber look concrete sleepers, paving the way to the front entrance. Inside seemingly endless spotted gum timber flooring and on-trend monochromatic palette mimic nature, in the near-new build/renovation which focuses on multiple over-generous family living spaces inside and out. The star attraction on the ground level is the massive open plan space with wispy linen sheers which catch the breeze, and open to undercover terraces on three sides. To the north the main view is over the shimmering aqua pool and sun deck. It wraps the east side before stretching both ways on the west side where alfresco dining, lounging and sundowners are part of everyday living. The hinterland views out to Mt Cooroy area exceptional, and it is the perfect spot to admire the beautiful frangipani or watch the kids or pets enjoying the massive playground space, in the rear garden below. If entertaining is on the menu there is a gas strut servery window from the kitchen, and what a domain for any culinary wizard. It is U-shaped and has stone-topped laminated cabinetry including large island/ breakfast bar, two sinks, latest high-end appliances, heaps of storage and of course soft-close drawers.

Bedrooms all have floor boards and beautiful bathrooms that feature Stario Grigio-honed porcelain wall and floor tiles. Two bedrooms on this level have built-in robes, one has a two-way ensuite, the other a powder room. There is also a built in office / study and a spacious laundry on this level. Striking in its form is the engineered stainless-steel staircase with timber treads and glass balustrading. Upstairs is a lounge/retreat space with picture window views over Noosa National Park and beyond.

Along the hallway with another floorto-ceiling picture window is the master suite. It has Coral Sea views down the easterly seaboard to Point Arkwright and Mt Coolum, walk-in robe and lavish ensuite with free-standing oval bath plus hinterland views to Mt Cooroy, from the shower via picture windows. “This stunning family residence is calibrated to climate, environment, outdoors and nature,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tracy Russell. “Adding to its easy-breezy nature is its proximity to the dog-friendly

part of Peregian Beach plus diverse local offerings such as the Peregian Beach Surf Club, and the Peregian Beach Village, with on-trend boutiques, a patisserie, artisan baker also cafes and restaurants, where you can even take your four-footer for a puppacino. “What a sagacious investment opportunity, especially given the quiet yet very popular location, and let us not forget those magical ocean, coastal and hinterland views. Peregian Beach life does not get much better.” ●

HOME FOCUS

DESIRABLE FIRST-FLOOR APARTMENT OFFERED to the market for the very first time in over 24 years by its original owners, is this elegant first floor apartment in Sunshine Central - one of the best-located complexes in all of Sunshine Beach, literally just footsteps to the village dining and retail, and a short stroll to surf club and patrolled swimming. Across a single level, it comprises entry foyer, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, contemporary kitchen, expansive open plan living flowing to a 2.8x8m covered balcony and a second cosy balcony off dining with leafy outlook, and separate laundry. There is also secure basement parking for one vehicle and lift access to apartment. Presented beautifully throughout, features include new air-conditioning, New Zealand wool carpet in bedrooms (new), new hot water system, stunning Carrara marble tiles and heated towel rails in bathrooms, stone benches, quality appliances, plantation shutters, ceiling fans, and a Miele washer/dryer.

The decor is stylish and tasteful, and the entire apartment has a relaxing, welcoming ambience that is so calming and soothing, you will feel immediately at home. It not only looks lovely, but it is also easy to maintain and there is no immediate money needing to be spent; get that champagne chilled, unpack, and head

out to the balcony with an ice bucket to toast the good life! Sunshine Central is a well maintained complex with a private resort pool, framed by lush tropical gardens. It is pet-friendly (subject to body corporate approval), and it’s so close to the village the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of the surf

rolling in will be daily delights to wake up to. Whether seeking a holiday home which you can rent out for attractive returns when not in personal use or a permanent lifestyle-change near the ocean, this apartment would be hard to surpass in terms of location, lifestyle, and presentation. ●
