Surf safe message Holiday season January saw the introduction of two collaborative campaigns designed to make Noosa’s beaches safer for all.

The Surf Safe Noosa campaign, nearly two years in the making, was launched at Noosa Heads Surf Club last Friday.

A collaboration between the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries’ Queensland Shark Control Program and the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, supported by Noosa World Surfing Reserve, Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, Tourism Noosa and Noosa Council, the campaign is a direct result of the Marine Species Protection Symposium held in May 2021, where public education was identified as the highest priority to protect iconic marine species and keep surfers safe.

Last year Noosa Biosphere hosted two workshops involving surfing and community groups who worked with Shark Control Program leader Fiona Burnett and James Cook University’s shark expert Dr Andrew Chin to develop an educational and awareness program suitable for all ages, which was translated into a suite of graphic tools, including a seasonal calendar and interactive spinning game wheel, by local designers Puka Studios with messaging by Dr Sue Pillans.

Bonza flies high 12497020-DL22-21

A sea of purple travellers, including Bonza’s first customers and invited community members, boarded Bonza’s first flight from its home base on the Sunshine Coast to the Whitsunday Coast on Tuesday.

The route was the first of 27 to be gradually rolled out to a total of 17 destinations after Bonza went on sale last week with flights starting from $49 to $79 per person, one way.

The historic flight was said to be a game changer for both tourism markets as well as friends and family who can ditch the 12 hour drive in place of a direct flight.

“Our team of legends couldn’t be more excited to begin connecting Aussies for holidays and time with loved ones. What better place to start than arguably two of the country’s favourite holiday destinations. Whether you are

snorkelling the Whitsunday Islands or grabbing a cold one in the craft beer capital of Australia - the Sunshine Coast - we are humbled to take you there,” Bonza chief executive officer Tim Jordan said.

Mr Jordan said he was thrilled to deliver on Bonza’s promise of stimulating new tourism markets by serving underserved regional communities.

He also revealed that since going on sale days earlier, Aussies had embraced the opportunity to book a seat on the app with over 10,000 seats sold.

“What our first customers will experience onboard is a fresh approach to flying where we keep the bar high on quality, and our costs low,” he said.

The onboard experience includes an all

Aussie menu with items ordered on demand from the Fly Bonza app and delivered directly to customers’ seats.

Local menu partners were also invited on the flight with food and drink suppliers across the country to join future Bonza inaugurals closest to home.

Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer Andrew Brodie said, as the home base for Bonza, it was a momentous day for the Sunshine Coast as Australia’s newest low cost airline took to the skies on its inaugural flight heading to the Whitsundays, making this and other incredible destinations so much more accessible for everyday Australians.

“Bonza’s commencement of services signals a new era for our airport and wider region and over the next 12 months we will see an ad-

ditional 772,000 seats into the region, which will generate more than $86 million in visitor expenditure,” he said.

Treasurer and Trade and Investment Minister Cameron Dick described Bonza’s launch on Tuesday as an important day for Queensland and a great day for Queensland tourism.

“As this Bonza flight takes off this morning, the sound from those engines is Queensland tourism roaring back from the pandemic,” he said.

“This is good news for Cairns, for Townsville, for Mackay and Rockhampton and the Whitsundays.

“And it’s especially good news for the Sunshine Coast.”

Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie, Minister for Tourism Stirling Hinchliffe, Treasurer Cameron Dick and Bonza CEO Tim Jordan.

How about heading to the Whitsundays for lunch or dropping into Cairns for the weekend? That’d be bonza, wouldn’t it?

Well Bonza airlines made it a lot easier this week when they took off for the first time, offering a range of flights from the Sunshine Coast such as Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and the Whitsundays.

A couple of years ago on a trip to Japan we marvelled at the transport system, particularly their Shinkansen bullet train, that travelling at about 300km/hr enabled passengers to travel huge distances, and they did. One day with nothing planned we hopped on the first train leaving Osaka, arriving about an hour and a half later 400km away in Hiroshima, saw what is now a beautiful city, had lunch and returned - an easy three-hour return train ride. It takes longer than that to go to Brisbane and back.

If it’s travelling you like but taking the slow route, on foot, there’s a story this week about a remarkable local couple who decided to take on a marathon run every day for a year.

If that’s not tough enough, one of them had been diagnosed with a terminal illness before setting off on the venture.

The couple made a documentary of their trek which can be seen at the cinema next week.

Marathon effort on film

By Abbey Cannan RAW the Documentary is the incredible story of a local couple in their 60s who broke and set world records by running 366 consecutive marathons around Australia. ?

In 2013, endurance runners Janette Murray-Wakelin and Alan Murray achieved what many thought to be impossible.

But why did they do it?

“In the year 2000 I was diagnosed with terminal cancer,” Janette said.

“They told me I had six months to live. So, I started making some choices that would make a difference to my health. Obviously I’m still here, so it worked.

“Shortly after that six months was up, I was completely [cancer] free and clear. And so my husband and I set up a health place where we were living at the time in Canada. We just started to share the experience that I’d had through this cancer journey.

“From there we moved closer to our family back to Australia. We thought if we were to run around Australia, we could reach more people with our health message.”

The film not only charts the couple’s challenges and experiences on the road, but also delves into the lives of this inspirational couple.

We see love stories unfold with their family, their health, their purpose, their natural environment and each other.

“We started in Melbourne and went counter clockwise around Australia,” Janette said.

“We went down to Tassie as well and did the length of Tassie as well. Some days we went well over 42km in the outback. So that’s the world record and it has not been broken.”

The documentary follows their triumphant journey through one of the harshest climates in the world as they overcome obstacles of severe weather conditions and painful injuries.

“The times when we were injured only happened because of falling. Quite often we’d have to get off the road in a hurry or we’d trip on things that were on the side of the road. We broke a few ribs and things like that, but we kept going,” Janette said.

“The majority of the way we were okay.

Obviously we trained for it. The year before in 2012, we ran about 6000km in training.

“So everyday we went out and we ran. We had to get everything right, especially the nutrition. For about the first 280km we were on concrete because you can’t run on the road in various places in the city. It was horrendous.

“The surprising thing is after we got half way around, things started to get a lot easier.

I’m not saying it got easy, but it got easier.

“We were running more comfortably, we had the nutrition down pat so we were recovering while we were running.

“Most people when they run a marathon, it takes a couple of weeks at least to get over it, or a couple of months depending on the person. We had done it before, so we knew what it was like. It can be not fun. But as we took off, between Melbourne and Sydney, that was the longest stretch we had done previous to that.

“Ten years earlier we ran the length of New

Zealand, which was 50 marathons in 50 days for my 50th birthday. The New Zealand run was much harder because of the hilly terrain, whereas Australia is relatively flat.”

Janette said they got their nutrition down to 80 to 90 per cent fruit for the run to make it easier on their digestion.

“We wanted to show by example what’s possible when you make those conscious life choices,” she said.

“We raised money and awareness for four charities. So, there were definitely days that we were hurting, but we knew we were doing it for a really good reason and we really wanted to show that anything is possible, if you really put your mind and your heart and your passion to it.”

The couple know all too well the pain of Nedd Brockmann, who just ran 4000km across Australia and raised $1.85 million for charity.

“We did hear about Ned and we felt for him for sure,” Janette said.

“Because a lot of what he was going through we experienced. Not to the same extent, we didn’t have quite so much drama because I

“Since we’ve been screening the film, we have had an amazing response from everybody,” Janette said.

“It’s a feel good movie. It really is very inspirational and motivational. It’s a good movie for the whole family.

“We’re excited to do the screening in Noosa and we hope the community come along.”

The Noosa Premiere Screening of this powerful and uplifting film will be held on Wednesday 15 February at BCC CINEMAS NOOSA, the screening features a Q and A with Janette and Alan, with their film DVD and books available.

think we’d done a lot more in training and because we’d been running marathons for a really long time. Good for him. It motivated people to take those first steps to run.”

Similar to Ned, they lost a lot of weight on the journey.

“We actually physically put weight on before we started,” she said.

“And that was gone by the time we hit Sydney. So it was all about getting the right amount of food and nutrients we needed to keep going without losing too much body fat. We were having one or two avocados a day by the time we left Sydney just to keep fat on. It got to the point that we were burning fat we didn’t have.

“I was down to 42kgs. So I thought that’s enough, I’m not going below that. By the time we were coming into Melbourne, we were running faster than what we started. It actually got easier and we were getting better times at the end.”

The Australian cinematically-produced feature film has received rave reviews from around the world, a short version having screened in 2015 at the Cannes Film Festival,

Humble Wendy honoured

By Margie Maccoll Tourism Noosa volunteer Wendy Cutting was both excited and humbled to receive a Medal of the Order of Australia (AOM) in this year’s Australia Day Awards, attributing the honour to the team of volunteers she coordinates and admitting adding the extra letters after her name “might take some getting used to”.

The Noosaville resident who has been a Tourism Noosa volunteer since 2006 and a volunteer coordinator of the 70-strong group of volunteers since 2007 was awarded an OAM for services to tourism and hospitality.

Before volunteering in tourism Wendy had a long teaching career, moving to the Sunshine Coast to take on the role of principal at St John’s College in 1988 before retiring to take on running two restaurants with her husband at Yandina.

After four years they retired from the restaurant business but Wendy “had to do something”.

“Working with Tourism Noosa was a likely path to follow,” she said.

“I love it. I really enjoy it,” she said.

“We get travellers from all over the world.

There’s always challenges.”

Based at the Visitor Information Centre in Hastings Street, Wendy said the role of the volunteer had become more demanding over the years with the variety of tourist activities and programs every expanding and the need to keep abreast of everything increasing.

Volunteers are a wealth of knowledge for the 200,000 visitors that drop into the centre, providing information on where to stay, what experiences and tours to do, what restaurants, breweries and distilleries are in the region and, importantly, that local knowledge and insider tips that visitors love.

Wendy said volunteers were now better trained and regularly attended famils to pass on their first-hand knowledge of places and experiences.

Since she began, visitors have changed, wanting to see more than just the beaches.

Wendy Cutting was recognised for services to tourism and hospitality with OAM. They’ve become more interested in seeing what the hinterland has to offer, taking country drives, hiking along trails, paddling the Everglades and visiting the many breweries and distilleries, she said.

“People are travelling up more to do more,” she said.

The visitor centre opens every day of the year apart from Christmas Day and coordinating a voluntary workforce is often a challenge, particularly during Covid.

Wendy said some volunteers chose not to work during Covid, some were reluctant to return for fear of contracting the illness and

some had taken the opportunity to do their own road trips around the country.

Despite the difficult situation, the centre continued operating and Wendy had nothing but praise for her wonderful volunteers.

“It’s terrific camaraderie amongst people,” she said of the team.

Llew O’Brien MP shares his Australia Day message

By Federal Wide Bay MP Llew O’brien On 26 January 2023 we marked Australia Day, a day where we acknowledge our country’s past, recognise our achievements, and look forward to the future.

On our nation’s national day, right around the country new Australians are welcomed at citizenship ceremonies, the Australia Day Honours List of Australians who have achieved great things for their community is announced, barbecues are fired up, and rubbish bins become cricket stumps as we come together to enjoy the company of family, friends, and neighbours.

Australia Day is not just another public holiday. It is our nation’s biggest annual civic event. It’s a day to reflect on our history, a day to respect the origins, experiences, sto-

ries, and contributions of our fellow Australians, to celebrate our strong and diverse community and honour this great nation, our achievements, and the people who have helped shape the Australia we have become.

While we all have different views, backgrounds, and experiences, Australia Day is a day to respect and share the stories, histories, and contributions of every Australian - like the ones people throughout Wide Bay have made, and continue to make, to our nation.

Thanks to the sacrifices, the hard work of those who have gone before us, and those who have served and continue to serve to secure our freedom, Australia is one of the safest, most economically stable countries in the world, with many opportunities ahead.

Australia’s success today is built upon the

uniquely Aussie characteristics for which we are known throughout the world, of our courage, tenacity, mateship, and our unwavering optimism. The Australian spirit we share is known for its inclusiveness, compassion, and the sheer hard work that has gone towards making Australia strong.

As Australians, we know that our country is what we make of it, and that is why for most of my life I have worked to make our communities and our nation even better. I have seen the good and bad in society, and I acknowledge the work we must continue to do to keep our communities safe, our borders secure, and protect our Australian way of life.

I will keep up my fight to build a better Wide Bay, and to ensure that our nation’s future holds prosperity and growth for all.

Sending surf-safe message From page 1 Speaking at the launch last week, Dr Chin said: “I think this is the best and most costeffective approach to shark management.

It’s based on using common sense, taking responsibility for your actions, being aware and knowing what to do if there is an incident.

This campaign sets it all out very clearly for all ages.”

Following the 2021 Marine Symposium, the state government came back with an approved program of four activities to mitigate shark risk, two of which are already in action in Noosa, with a third on the way.

Shark spotting by drone has been active on Main Beach and Noosa West since the beginning of summer, with drones doing regular 20-minute video flights during patrol hours on weekends and holidays, in conjunction with the surf club. So far the drone flights have clocked up more than 100 km with just three sightings of sharks under two metres, not enough to close the beach.

The trial of alternative drum-lines is about to be rolled out, and the highest priority activity, education, is being actioned now, designed to educate young surfers and tourists alike about how to read local conditions with the key message, “Sharks share our Noosa waters.

Understand your local conditions and Surf Safe Noosa All Year Round”.

As Noosa Biosphere’s Sharon Wright noted at the launch last week: “The messaging is designed to complement the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s mission to share, respect and preserve our special place, and to encourage surfers to follow the Noosa Shire Surf Safety Code.”

The NWSR Surf Code, which aims to promote surf safety as well as surf etiquette in crowded conditions, also received a massive boost over the summer, with the release of new television advertising and online and social media videos produced by Tewantin’s

Barbara from Puka Designs and the seasonal wheel.

Panga Productions and supported by Noosa Heads Surf Club, Sandy Bolton MP and Tourism Noosa.

The TV schedule, seen on WIN through most of regional Queensland, ran from 12 December to 6 January, followed by a targeted so-

cial media campaign which ran through Visit Noosa.

Subsequent exposure on YouTube and the Noosa World Surfing Reserve website, recently revamped by Noosa Media, resulted in huge visitation across the board.

Of course, it’s too early to tell how many surfers actually got the “share, respect, preserve” message, but anecdotal evidence is that apart from a few flare-ups, behaviour in the surf during January’s long run of waves on the points was an improvement on last summer.

American tour for mayors Council of Mayors (SEQ) which includes Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart will lead a mission to North America seeking global insights, partnerships and solutions to tackle some of South East Queensland’s biggest challenges including growth, connectivity, affordability, and waste.

The delegation is poised to meet with key officials including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Metro Vancouver senior transport officials and newly appointed Wisk Aero chief executive officer Dr Brian Yutko.

The group will explore emerging examples of Olympic and Paralympic legacy, as well as innovative responses to public transport, waste management, housing affordability and growth during the 11-day mission.

Council of Mayors (SEQ) Chair, Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games were an incredible opportunity to address the challenges of growth, affordability and connectivity facing the south east corner.

“South East Queensland is one of the fastest growing regions in the world and that’s only going to increase as we get closer to the Brisbane 2032 Games,” Cr Schrinner said.

“Learning how other host cities are using their Games to deliver long-term advantages for their residents is an important step on the runway to Brisbane 2032.

“We want Brisbane 2032 to be the best Games ever but we also want to ensure the legacy continues for many years after the event.

“To make sure that happens, we need to better understand the things that have and are working well for other regions, and more importantly, the things they would do differently.

We’re also keen to understand their legacy focus, and how they’re dealing with challenges at a local level.

“This includes Los Angeles which is delivering the largest mass transit construction program in the United States to connect the Los

2015 – equivalent to removing 250,000 cars – and in 2021 they diverted 420,000 tonnes of food scraps from landfill.”

Mission objectives include: Examining regional and coordinated approaches to growth management, housing affordability, sustainability, waste management and resource recovery (including clean-technologies and the circular economy).

Reviewing how local government is working to improve regional mass transport outcomes and connectivity by supporting the adoption of new smart mobility solutions, including zero emission vehicles and regional energy storage infrastructure to support regional mass movement of people and goods.

Investigating how city-regions leverage the Olympic and Paralympic games to advance a compelling global identity and explore initiatives that promote trade and investment attraction.

Strengthening partnerships between Metro Vancouver and Council of Mayors (SEQ) for areas of shared interests including urban growth management and housing affordability, digital connectivity, environmental waste management / clean technologies and transport infrastructure.

Strengthening the recent partnership between COMSEQ and Wisk Aero. The delegation will visit WISK manufacturing and test facilities to review the latest advancements in AAM technology and aircraft to support the entry of AAM to SEQ. Engaging with civic and business leaders to develop meaningful strategic relationships focused on generating strong social and economic outcomes for each region.

Mayor Stewart said the trip would be particularly beneficial for Noosa as it looks at innovative responses to public transport, housing affordability and waste management.

Cr Schrinner said the mayors would also be looking to strengthen and formalise partnerships, and discuss new opportunities for trade and investment.

He said he was excited to visit manufacturing and test flight facilities of Boeing-backed Advanced Air Mobility company Wisk Aero.

“In July last year we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Wisk Aero which will see us working together to support the introduction of autonomous air taxi service to south east Queensland,” he said.

“Not only does this emerging future industry have enormous potential for commuters, there is also enormous economic opportunities.”

Mayor Paul Antonio said the mayors were keen to explore how Metro Vancouver was addressing the issues of population growth and housing affordability, and opportunities to apply these approaches back in South East Queensland.

“This is critical as our region responds to the housing crisis, and ahead of the upcoming review of the State Government’s SEQ Regional Plan,” Cr Antonio said.

“Metro Vancouver is well advanced on their journey towards a circular economy, providing a blueprint on what we can expect as we work to implement our South East Queensland Waste Management Plan, including the rollout of local food waste recycling services.

Noosa Coast Guard to amalgamate with Volunteer Marine Rescue under new changes.

Coast Guard provides safety watch during outrigger races.

No changes to operations

By Margie Maccoll Noosa Coast Guard is expecting big changes this year in its governance but expects its operations will remain much the same with the Queensland Government set to implement a single integrated statewide marine rescue service called Marine Rescue Queensland which will commence services in 2024.

Currently Queensland’s coastline is serviced by two volunteer marine rescue organisations, Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association (AVCGA) and Volunteer Marine Rescue Association (VMRAQ) which statewide are made up of 3000 volunteers who undertake about 4000 activations each year operating across 47 units.

The change to a single rescue service was the result of recommendations of the Blue Wa-

ter Review released in January 2019 following stakeholder and sector consultation.

“It’s an attempt to amalgamate emergency services. The Coast Guard and VMR are going to come under the auspices of Queensland Police,” Noosa Coast Guard Flotilla Commander Ian Hutchings said.

Commander Hutchings said the process of amalgamation had proved trickier than initially expected, but “it’s coming and moving forward”.

He hopes the changes don’t disrupt current practices because, “what we’ve got works”.

“Nobody’s drowned or sunk or stood there waiting to be rescued. The two organisations work together as we are,” he said.

The final 2022 report for Noosa Coast Guard, covering December showed it to be a busy

month for the volunteer service with a marked increase in vessels using the Noosa River, particularly jet skis, though weather conditions reduced traffic crossing the Noosa Bar. During the month the coast guard took more than 2600 radio calls, 250 phone calls, more than 430 trips, undertook 68 activations and provided 24 incidents of assistance.

In one instance the volunteer service was called to assist a drifting 35-foot catamaran which had drifted up the river impacting an occupied houseboat next to Goat Island. The catamaran owner was on Fraser Island at the time.

“The vessel was rafted to another location in the river and secured with the operation proving quite challenging in the low water available to us at the time,” the report stated.

The Coast Guard also provided assistance

to a number of breakdowns in the river, mainly small tinnies, several operated solely by youngsters.

But there was less action on the Noosa Bar due to weather conditions, strong wave action as well as the channel across the Noosa Bar requiring vessels to travel close to the beach on the Noosa North Shore. “This crossing is not for the faint hearted or inexperienced boatie,” the report states.

Noosa Coast Guard also played a prominent role in Christmas activities over December including the Christmas Convoy and Santa Lolly run which were both well received, its participation in the Noosa Waters Christmas Parade as well as keeping watch over the safe proceedings of fireworks display on Noosa River.

Mayor’s STA letter plea to help ease housing shortage Mayor Clare Stewart has written to hundreds of non-resident ratepayers, pleading with them to put their short-stay let property or vacant holiday homes onto the permanent rental market.

The impassioned plea comes as Council looks at ways to boost the availability of affordable rental properties in Noosa to help ease the shire’s housing crisis.

“We are seeing workers struggling to find homes and the loss of these workers has a detrimental impact on businesses and organisations delivering critical services to our community,” Cr Stewart said.

In the letter, the Mayor outlines the financial and community benefits available to homeowners when they make their property available for rent by a permanent tenant, including cheaper rates, insurance and a guaranteed income.

“We offer one of the best places to visit, but on the flipside, we have a lot of vacant properties that could go a long way to addressing

the current housing crisis,” the Mayor said.

There are about 5200 self-contained homes in Noosa that are used for short-term visitor accommodation. Census figures indicate about 18 per cent of all housing in Noosa was vacant on census night.

Council introduced a Transitory Accommodation rating category for properties used for short- term accommodation. Rates charged for short-term accommodation properties are significantly higher than those properties permanently occupied by the owner or a tenant.

“We appreciate that investors have a right to their holiday home income, but given the current situation, we are simply asking owners to consider helping Keep Noosa Home and ease the problem by making their property available for rent by a permanent tenant,” she said.

Skin Checks, treatments and procedures Noosa’s trusted Skin Cancer Team welcomes the experienced:

“Put simply, there are not enough houses available to rent for the people who live and work here and who contribute to our society and economy.”

Cr Stewart said Council has endorsed a Housing Strategy, which clearly identifies the housing crisis Noosa is experience and proposes a range of initiatives and solutions to assist all stakeholders and the state and federal governments to improve housing choice and affordability.

“It needs to be a collaborative effort and we feel homeowners and investors can also play their part,” she said.

“We are committed to ensuring there is suitable housing available for the people who work here, for the families who have lived here and contributed to the community for many years and for the elderly who have known no other place,“ Cr Stewart said.

Roadmap delivered Noosa Council has joined forces with Sunshine Coast Council to develop a Regional Climate Action Roadmap in its combined response to climate change and in a new report has outlined council’s next steps to addressing climate risks.

Councillors last month approved the roadmap and ongoing climate risk management which has been divided into three themes identified in the roadmap as building climateready councils, empowering climate-ready communities and advocating for a climateready region.

“This work is important as council services are critical to residents, businesses, visitors and everyone who enjoys Noosa. The way we respond to the growing threat of climate change underpins the liveability, social cohesion and economic prosperity of our region and presents an opportunity to improve all of these through sustainable, low-carbon and climate-resilient development and activities.

This work aligns closely with Council’s Climate Response Plan,” staff told councillors.

The Climate Action Roadmap defines climate risk as the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the impacts of climate change on lives, livelihoods, health and wellbeing, ecosystems and species, economic, social and cultural assets, services (including ecosystem services), and infrastructure.

For the past year the two councils have worked to complete the Regional Climate Action Roadmap (RCAR) project which was funded through a $210,000 grant from Local Government Association of Queensland.

The Queensland Climate Resilient Council pilot project was one of only two across the state, setting council up as a leader in this space.

The Roadmap includes a number of focus areas under each of its three themes which will drive the next steps to build a climate-ready region.

The Building climate-ready councils theme

Council takes the lead to address the risks of climate change such as increased flood events with a roadmap. recognises that building the resilience of council services to climate hazards is a core responsibility. Empowering climate-ready communities theme recognises that preparing for a changing climate is everyone’s responsibility, but everyone needs the motivations, resources, and skills to enable them to prepare so council’s role is to lead and support the community to meet their shared responsibilities in building a climate-ready region.

The theme of advocating for a climate-ready region recognises that some major climate risk decisions lie outside council’s control so council needs to advocate for changes to State and Federal government legislation and policies that exacerbate local climate risks, and for improved funding for our regional climate change response.

Staff told councillors throughout the project it became clear that climate change was likely to present a multitude of risks to council including an increased demand on council services, increased costs of service provision, supply chain disruptions, workforce disruptions, health impacts from service failures and cascading impacts.

The project raised awareness of climate risk at organisational level, raised recognition of critical infrastructure failure and cascading elements and improved understanding of the need to develop capacity, capability, policies and processes to enable action to manage risks.

Council has identified its next steps to include an assessment of cascading risks to council services from critical public infrastructure failure, investigating regional heat risks, engaging further with Indigenous and youth groups and the Regional Youth Climate Leadership Group and seeking further funding to complete a draft Climate Risk Management Framework and Guidelines.

The Roadmap was composed following internal and external engagement activities involving surveys, workshops and roundtable discussions.

The activities included a community survey which elicited 1347 responses (234 responses from Noosa, 1113 responses from Sunshine Coast) and 270 responses from youth and an internal survey to all council employees which elicited 383 responses (88 responses from NC staff, 295 responses from SCC staff ).

Liv’s all ears for the coast

By Abbey Cannan Turning beach plastic into sustainable jewellery has earned a Noosa school girl an episode on a popular television series.

Olivia Gilchrist, 14, will showcase her business Ocean Ears Noosa on Channel 9’s My Way documentary, which is due to air on 12 February at 5:30pm.

“The idea of cleaning up and making something attractive is a win win,” Olivia said.

“I love where we live and hate to think of it being polluted by all the micro-plastics.

“Lots of people see us picking up plastic and think it’s great and then they start doing it as well. Every little bit helps.”

It all started when she was walking her family dog Barkley on Sunshine Beach and couldn’t help but notice all the plastic washed up on the shoreline.

“It was so colourful, I thought it might look nice set in resin,” Olivia said.

“I had a business course at school which involved creating an eco friendly product to sell at Eumundi Markets and everything seemed to fall into place. I was cleaning up the beach and up-cycling the plastic at the same time. My sister came up with the tag line Pretty Rubbish.”

Her earrings are now stocked at Entity Coffee in Sunshine Beach, Laneway, Revival Wellness studio, Tres Noosa and the Tourist Information Centre on Hastings St as part of their eco gift guide display.

“I love the process of making the earrings.

We collect the whole rainbow of coloured plastic, so I can make what I like,” Olivia said.

“My signature range is like the beach with sand and blue to white ombre, but I also love rainbow and fruit designs. People request all sorts of colours from my Etsy and Instagram sites.

“I am so happy that people like what I do for a hobby. I keep saying I would like a job, but my parents say ‘You have a job making earrings’.

Rubbish from Sunshine Beach.

At 14, Olivia Gilchrist has created a successful business called Ocean Ears Noosa.

“I am saving my money to buy a house where I can have lots of dogs.”

Olivia said filming for Channel 9’s My Way documentary was a little bit intimidating at first.

“I didn’t really like the attention and the camera in my face,” she said.

“The crew were really lovely and put me at ease.

“They filmed me collecting the plastic and it was a perfect Noosa day.

“They spoke to Ben from Entity Coffee, who was the first person to stock my earrings and also to my business teacher, Mr Nevin, who has been very supportive. They then filmed me at home making the earrings. I am nervous about how it will turn out.”

Australia Zoo welcomes team from YWAM Medical Ships Australia Zoo, home of the Crocodile Hunter, was delighted to welcome 10 inspiring individuals from YWAM Medical Ships for a fun day out to meet the wonderful wildlife.

YWAM Medical Ships Australia and Papua New Guinea deliver training and medical services while building capacity among local health workers in remote communities in Papua New Guinea.

YWAM’s ship manager Jeana Omal said, “We are so grateful for Australia Zoo’s generosity in giving our crew the opportunity to have a fun excursion amidst their faithfulness and tireless efforts looking after the ship.

“Most of our crew are from overseas and are full-time volunteers. Our crew has served with us in Papua New Guinea and are the ones who keep the lights and engines on, navigate

the ship along extremely remote coastlines and rivers, and drive teams ashore in small boats to conduct clinics and bring hope to isolated communities.

“Visiting Australia Zoo is a unique opportunity that the crew may never have again and we know it will bring them a lot of joy, just as they have helped bring joy to people in Papua New Guinea,” she said.

The YWAM Medical Ship team met a koala and fed the beautiful free-roaming kangaroos, participated in the Wildlife Warriors show in the world-famous Crocoseum, explored the African savannah which is home to giraffes, rhinos, zebras and meerkats, and learned about our conservation efforts around the world to protect wildlife and wild places.

Wildlife conservationist Terri Irwin said,

“We were so happy to host the team from YWAM Medical Ships Australia and Papua New Guinea.

“Their inspiring efforts to help and empower people across communities is remarkable, and we were thrilled to provide this special experience with our stunning wildlife at Australia Zoo.“ “At Australia Zoo, visitors can get up close with some of our beautiful animals, leaving them with an appreciation for wildlife and conservation. By educating more people about wildlife and habitat preservation, we can continue to make this world a better place for generations to come,“ Terri said.

Top coach joins Tewantin

By Phil Jarratt Locked down in Melbourne in 2020 and unable to work, successful tennis coach and former pro Pete Taylor and his young family decided to hit the road.

Getting out of Victoria wasn’t particularly easy at that time, but after a police grilling at Tullamarine, Pete, wife Donna and children Milla, 12, and Leo, seven, boarded a flight to Darwin where they settled into 14 days’ quarantine at Howard Springs, beginning a grand touring adventure through the Outback that would eventually lead them to Noosa.

Pete had been to Noosa with his parents as a kid, but for the others it was a discovery.

“We all just fell in love with it,” he said.

“When we eventually got back to Melbourne we started talking about moving to Noosa. It was kind of a joke at first, but it kept coming back into the conversation.” Donna, who had quit a high-flying job in retail management to spend more time with the kids, and had accidentally morphed into a very successful artist, could work anywhere.

Pete was the one holding them back, committed to his position as head coach of Langwarrin Tennis Club, a highly-rated, nine-court facility in outer Melbourne, and at the peak of his powers after 14 years of top-level coaching.

But then, one day late last year he heard about a job going at the Tewantin Tennis Club.

A little light flashed on in his brain. This was their chance.

Born in South Africa, Pete Taylor migrated to New Zealand with his parents in 1995, where his dad helped establish successful dairy farms.

Soon his success led to job offers in the region, and the family chose Australia over Indonesia, settling in Melbourne. Before he turned 12 he’d lived in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

At his primary school in New Zealand, students were given a choice to do a full day of school or play in a tennis tournament.

“So naturally I chose tennis and we made the final in the doubles and I was hooked,” he recalls.

But cricket remained his number one sport in Melbourne, and by the time he was 14 he was playing senior grade.

“The problem with that was I was playing with guys in their 20s or older, so I’d always get put way out on the boundary to field, and it was lonely out there. I’d usually do well with the bat but for me there was no social aspect to it.

“In tennis I was hitting every second ball and people would talk to me. Better value all round.”

After a successful stint in the junior ranks (reaching top five in Victoria and top 20 in Australian under-16s), the bank of mum and dad helped fund Pete’s foray into the world of professional tennis’s touring pros after his graduation from high school.

With the sports media fixated on the Djokovics, Federers, Nadals and Bartys, you don’t hear much about the thousands of aspiring pros who travel a world of pain playing

Twenatin Tennis Club head coach Pete Taylor. low level tournaments in forgotten cities for chump change (or nothing) as they take one step forward and three backwards on the rickety rankings ladder.

In tennis they’re known, perhaps a little cruelly, as journeymen, but as in most professional sport, the grind of the qualifying tour sometimes reveals the true spirit and the real heroes of the game.

And, as a former tennis pro once told me: “If you rank top 200, you’re a bloody brilliant player.”

Pete Taylor ranked top 10 in New Zealand and top 65 in Australia in his pro career. If this qualifies him as a journeyman, then it’s a badge he wears with pride. He recalls: “I spent close to a year trying to be a pro, playing pro tournaments only. As an 18-year-old travelling to all these Eastern European countries (like Slovenia, Hungary, and Romania), I was just trying to survive rather than trying to win.

“I didn’t travel with a coach, no helpers, just me and a mate doing the same thing. It

Picture: ROB MACCOLL was really backs-to-the-wall, just trying to survive week in, week out. You get a payday if you make the main tournament, but I was still playing qualifying rounds.

“The mate made it as a tour pro, I went a different route, but I think we were both happy with the experience and the outcome.

“It becomes pretty clear after a while if you’re going to have to battle, and it affects different players in different ways. If you don’t have the belief that you can beat people, you fizzle out pretty quickly. Then there’s the journeymen - they might not have the results but mentally it doesn’t bother them.”

Fortunately, Pete had a Plan B in the form of a bunch of offers of tennis scholarships from American universities. Knowing next to nothing about the US college system, he passed over some of the majors and chose Morehead State in the pretty mountains of East Kentucky’s bible belt, where five Aussie mates from juniors days dominated the tennis team.

He says: “On the academic level, it was

like doing Year 11 at school. If you turned up for class you got a pass. One time I failed, so I wrote to the teacher and said I was on a sports scholarship and I needed a B to keep playing on the tennis team.

“He wrote back: ‘Done.’ The other Aussies told me when I got to Kentucky, introduce yourself to the teacher, shake his hand and give him a jar of Vegemite and you’re set! On the tennis level the competition was pretty tough though, these guys could all play.”

Asked to nominate the highlights of his playing career, interestingly Pete chooses a moment in his three years of college, studying for a commerce degree, rather than the pro tour.

“I think I played my best tennis in my first tournament. Mentally I got in my own way sometimes, but back then I was beating people I probably wouldn’t have if I’d known who they were, and that got me a few good wildcards in doubles. But I probably had more career highlights in college tennis.

The Taylors at home in Noosa: Pete, Mills, Leo and Donna.

“One I remember is we were playing Tennessee Tech and our school had never beaten them. It was three matches each and the decider was the doubles. I had this shot on the net and instead of hitting a normal volley, I put a huge backhand swing on it. The stand was full of people in our colours and they were all going mental.

“My shot hit their guy in the back and our people were cheering and the other side had really cracked it. Then it was match point and the guy served to me and I hit back a clean winner. All these people charged onto the court cheering. That’s my best memory of my playing days.”

After finishing his degree and college tennis career at Texas Pan American University, Pete returned to Melbourne where he fell in love with Donna and became an elite coach, main-

ly working with touring players like Marinko Matosevic, who made it to a 39 ATP ranking.

“But if you work with those guys, you get no help from Tennis Australia.

“If you say you’re going to a primary school and you want some equipment, they’ll say how much do you need?

“So I was leaning a bit that way, and after Donna and I married and had kids, I realised I couldn’t be touring with the players all the time so I started looking at a club coach role where I could work with kids.”

Over 16 years from 2006, Pete developed into one of Melbourne’s leading head coaches, masterminding elite and children’s programs at three major tennis clubs, while growing their member bases exponentially.

Looking at this background, combined with the Taylor family’s absolute passion to become

part of the Noosa community, the Tewantin Tennis Club had no problems in accepting Pete’s application.

He says: “You could teach a five-year-old a basic top spin in 15 minutes, but it’s not about easy results. The philosophy now is to teach them how to play like the pros from the start, taking a five-year-old and building their skills so that by about 11 they can play club comp.

“It’s about real coaching from the start, not babysitting. That’s the style of coaching I’m bringing to Tewantin. It’s a great club in a great position in terms of finances and membership, but I believe I can add a new element at junior level, and that’s something we can work on from primary school level.

“The other hurdle is getting them from juniors to seniors. If you can nail that, the club booms.”

The Taylors sold their Melbourne home in four days, moved up and settled in Noosa last month.

Pete conducted his first open day at the club last weekend and is well underway with his programs, while Donna is re-establishing her successful Dots By Donna animal prints business here. She says Pete came home from coaching one day and “busted me doing my art”.

Slow Food backs producers Slow Food Noosa is continuing its support for local producers wanting to regenerate their land and strengthen their farm businesses through grants from a new funding program.

The Slow Food movement originated in Italy in 1989 as a response to the growth of fast food and other changes in the food system worldwide.

Today Slow Food groups and supporters can be found across 150 countries around the world, who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment.

They are celebrating and instilling the philosophy of good, clean, and fair food for all.

Locally, Slow Food Noosa, supports growers and food artisans through promotional events and community programs.

All events embrace not only the Slow Food way but also raise much-needed funds to support our community.

These funds assist projects and people who are making a positive difference in the community and promoting the Slow Food philosophy.

In 2021, Slow Food Noosa partnered with a Noosa-based philanthropic foundation, Noosa and District Landcare, and Tarwyn Park Training to start the Regenerative Farming and Native Vegetation Enhancement Funding Program to support local Slow Food Snail of Approval Recipient producers and help towards a more resilient and thriving local food system for the future.

Inspired by the recent COP26 Glasgow summit on climate change and the inspiring speech given by naturalist David Attenborough, the Slow Food Noosa team saw opportunity in the Noosa and surrounding regions to help local producers in their endeavour to regenerate their land and strengthen their farm businesses.

The Regenerative Farming and Native Vegetation Enhancement Funding Program seeks to assist local producers in undertaking specific projects that support farm natural assets, such as waterways and native vegetation, and

Last year was the first year of the program and saw four local Slow Food Snail of Approval Recipient producers receive $5000 each to go towards projects on their land. These producers included Eastwell Farms, Kin Kin, K2 Beef Kandanga, CC’s Kitchen Woolooga and Bunya Grove Farm, Amamoor. The funds supported revegetation works, targeted weed control, the purchase of farm equipment to apply soil preparations and farm planning consultation.

The 2023 round of funds is now available to Slow Food Noosa Snail of Approval producers.

Local producers can access up to $7500 to go towards a project that aligns with the grant objectives and guidelines.

An information session will be held at the Noosa Landcare, Rural Futures Centre in Po-

mona on Monday 13 February, from 6pm.

The evening will provide information on how producers can get involved in the program, eligible projects and application process and tips.

A little inspiration will be followed with presentations from previous grant participants, Noosa District Landcare, and Tarwyn Park Training.

Slow Food Noosa invites all local producers of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Gympie regions to this evening information session.

Light refreshments will be served on the night.

Four turtles rehabilitated The team from SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium has successfully released four rescued and rehabilitated green sea turtles back into the ocean at Mooloolaba Beach.

The quadruple release comes ahead of Clean Up for the Hatchlings on Saturday 4 February, a free event run by Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with ReefCheck Australia, Unitywater and SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, inspiring the whole community to come together to help clean up Sunshine Coast beaches in preparation for the hatchling turtles.

The four green sea turtles named Jake, Luna, Goku and Cavill and came into the care of SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast from August to November last year thanks to Coolum Coast Care, Turtle Care and Noosa Council.

Jake was found floating in the water offshore at Teewah Beach and received treatment to help move the gas build up. Luna was also found on Teewah Beach, lethargic and anaemic.

Goku was found washed up at Marcus Beach covered in marine leeches and burrowing barnacles, while Cavill was found washed up at Dicky Beach with an infected carapace.

“It’s such an amazing feeling to have four turtles going back out into the ocean at once, it’s such a great way to start the year.

It’s always bittersweet to release the turtles that we have cared for as we get so attached to them but it’s certainly a win for the species,” Brittany Attwood, from SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, said.

Last year was one of the biggest for the aquarium’s Turtle Rehabilitation Centre with 74 adult and 44 hatchlings being cared for by the team throughout 2022.

People who come across a sick or injured sea turtle in the wild are encouraged to report it immediately to the Queensland marine stranding hotline on 1300 130 372.

Visitors to SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast can purchase a ticket for the behind the scenes tour to see what goes on in the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre. Guests can also discover a range of other marine and freshwater creatures at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast including sharks, rays, little blue penguins and more.

Nature’s burning question Fire in the landscape has been perceived as a threat to us but this is a relatively new perspective with broader implications than just bushfires.

Is fire a remedy for our increasingly sick country?

Di Collier has a private nature refuge, Dungi Yandi, in the headwaters of the Mary River, near Conondale in the Sunshine Coast hinterland which she has owned for almost 50 years.

In 2018, she was a popular speaker at an Ecological Society of Australia (ESA) conference- “Di was a vibrant and engaging speaker and people were very moved by her journey from someone who initially hated fire (because of the management she had experienced first-hand) to someone who actively uses fire as a land management tool”. (QFBC e-news) Di is passionate about bringing the community together to appreciate the natural environment and thus instigate positive change through knowledge sharing.

She speaks about fire from the perspective of using it as a land management tool.

Hers is a personal story of deep observation and caring for country where the land itself has shifted her thinking and attitudes.

Di proposes, “Can we, as a nation be sensitive to hearing what the country is crying out to us?”

On 10 February, at the next Friday Forum, hear more about Di Collier’s transformation of her property and how she has used fire to rehabilitate the landscape.

Everyone is welcome at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville. The forum starts at 10.30am and morning tea is available at 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door which includes morning tea/coffee.

Drinking water from air

By Phil Jarratt A new company formed by two well-known Noosa locals aims to put new life into a very old idea.

Harvesting water from the air is a practice that has been around for more than 2000 years, and various forms of atmospheric water generator (AWG) machines for more than a century, but in more recent times they have been vastly improved through modern technology.

“Think of an AWG as a dehumidifier coupled with a high-quality water filter system - instead of pouring the water out, you enjoy free pure sweet tasting drinking water,” says co-founder of Noosa-based AirQua, Rex Halverson, former chair of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation.

“It’s safer, sustainable, simple to use and saves money versus the cost of store-bought or water services.”

Rex’s partner in the venture is Jon Rowe of Savemi Digital Marketing in Noosaville, who has been integral in helping launch a number of new businesses and has extensive experience in marketing technology brands.

“It was Jon who came up with the name of the company, AirQua (think ‘agua’) to reinforce the water from the air concept,” Rex said.

Jon and Rex met while serving on the Events4GreaterGood charity, (founded by another Noosa local, Oz Bayldon) focused on helping victims of domestic violence and homeless families.

“Both of us were keen to work on something together and when I learned about atmospheric water generators we determined this was a perfect solution, having compelling social, health, environmental and economic benefits,” Rex said.

But it was the 2022 floods in Pakistan that motivated Jon to get involved.

“They were a wakeup call,” Jon said.

“Many millions were displaced without access to clean drinking water – even though water was everywhere. Then I realised that we faced the same types of challenges with water

AirQua’s mission is to provide a healthier, more sustainable and affordable source of drinking water, and at the heart of the enterprise is an exciting technology which provides free purified drinking water from the air around us, eliminating the need for plastic bottles and as convenient as turning on the tap, but better for you.

“AWGs provide drinking water that’s both better for people and the planet,” Rex said.

After extensive research into the global AWG market, Airqua elected to import machines invented, developed and patented by Australian and US-based AWG pioneer Wallie Ivison.

Airqua AWG models range from conversion of 15 litres to 500 litres a day, with the most popular floor-standing 30 litre unit about the same dimensions as a standard water cooler.

They work by pulling air across an internal

condenser, collecting and then filtering the water through a multi-stage filtration system.

The water is recirculated between two internal storage tanks with UV sterilisation to ensure it’s clean, fresh and ready to dispense at the push of a button.

Says Rex: “I’ve had the countertop model at the house for about a month now and can honestly say it’s some of the best-tasting water I’ve had, and five adults have been getting all our daily water needs met as well. Jon will have a similar story to tell as he’s had the floor standing unit for a few weeks as well.”

The club has also donated to individuals such as Nathan Glarvey, a talented athlete with an intellectual impairment and Chloe Douglas with her sport aerobics. It was an honour to the club to assist these great athletes to reach their full potential.

The club understands the importance of junior development within the local sporting communities.

As a result of the this, the club has donated funds to the Noosa Pirates Rugby Club, the Noosa Dolphins U15 Touring Rugby Team, as well to the Tewantin Junior Cricket team by assisting with funding the laying of a synthetic turf pitch.

The Tewantin Noosa RSL is also involved

with Tewantin Anzac Day Ceremonies and hosts the annual Tewantin Christmas carnival, and the Lord Mayor’s giving tree.

In the last financial year, the club has generously donated $263,550 and it’s their intention to continue its community support program for the long term.

“It gives us much satisfaction to assist so many worthy causes and to know that it makes a difference, and this has continued into the current financial year,“ a spokesman said.

So far the club has supported the local community to the sum of $155,333 for the period of July 2022 to November 2022.

The club receives many requests for assis-

tance from community groups and individuals.

The Tewantin Noosa RSL welcome applications via the community support application form available on the club’s website.

“We, as a club, feel blessed to live and work in such a beautiful part of the country.

However, we also realise there are those in the community who benefit so greatly from the assistance we can provide,“ they said.

“An enormous thank you to our members and guests who make it possible by way of their patronage of the club, without our loyal members we would not be able to assist with the community support program.“

Himalayan trek to help A group of Noosa locals is combining adventure and philanthropy on a trekking holiday to the remote kingdom of Zanskar in the Indian Himalaya, which aims to raise funds for the Australian Himalayan Foundation.

The adventure will be escorted by Noosa local, author and AHF ambassador, Heather McNeice.

“We have five Sunshine Coast locals signed up already, plus several interstate AHF supporters, and we’re well on our way to achieving our fund-raising target of $20,000 – but we’d welcome some additional team members to help make the biggest impact possible,” Heather said.

The trek – which is graded moderate to challenging - begins in Leh, capital of Ladakh (Little Tibet) and traverses high passes that afford incredible views of the Himalaya and Zanskar mountain ranges, and visits tiny traditional settlements and whitewashed Buddhist monasteries, following trails into some of the most remote and dramatic landscapes of the Himalaya.

The trip will raise funds for the Australian Himalayan Foundation – the grass-roots charity founded in Australia 20 years ago and now recognised as one of the most effective aid and development organisations in the Himalaya.

In particular, the trek is focused on supporting the AHF’s life-changing programs for education (particularly for girls); women’s health and conservation.Heather, her fellow trekkers and a group of willing Noosa supporters raised almost $20,000 in October 2022, with a cocktail event held at Noosa Springs Resort and Spa, which was attended by over 100 partygoers.

There are still spaces available on the trip,

AHF Ambassador, Heather McNeice, leading a trekking group in the Himalaya. which is limited to 12 participants, who’ll need a good level of fitness. There’s still time to train.

Departing 3 July, 2023, the 16-day adventure, including the eight-day trek, is timed to coincide with the Karshar Gustor Festival, where masked dancers perform and people from all over the Himalaya come to attend one of the region’s most important celebrations.

The adventure is a HUMA Charity Challenge, the charity division of World Expeditions, which is operating the trip.

With a combination of camping and hotel accommodation and most meals included, as well as porters and camping equipment, the 16-day Ladakh with the Australian Himalayan Foundation adventure costs $4295. The carbon emissions from this trip will be fully offset through purchasing accredited carbon credits.

One Billion Rising is back Join people in over 200 countries, to create a story that turns pain into joy, using music, dance, and awareness through One Billion Rising.

During the annual global event held on or around Valentine’s Day, crowds dance to the song Break the Chain to break the chain of violence against women and children, repeating the story, and aiming to, as per this year’s theme, Raise the Vibration.

The name One Billion Rising comes from its creator Eve Ensler and the United Nations’ report from the World Health Organisation, telling us that one in three women on the planet will experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.

The inspiration for changing life’s narrative from pain to joy comes from the women in the City of Joy in the Congo, also co-founded by Eve Ensler, and 2018’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr Denis Mukwege, where the women came from being victims of war to dancing together in joy.

Here at home, Noosa’s former Senior Sergeant Ben Carroll advises that 60 to 70 per cent of police time is spent responding to domestic violence matters.

Endeavouring to create awareness and change in Noosa, the group gathers together with drums and song, in a family friendly environment.

The local dance is only a little over four minutes long and it is so much fun that they do it twice.

This year they will be connecting on Friday 17 February, between 5-6pm, at the Noosa Surf Club forecourt.

Wear solid black, red or white to show solidarity.

If you’d like to dance, you can learn the dance at free rehearsals at the Noosa Lei-

Death by a thousand cuts

LENSCAPE

Leanne Airey captured this stunning image of Noosa National Park with Mount Cooroora standing strong in the distance.

As part of its response, the applicant offered a financial offset for the koala habitat trees being removed. Sadly, with every offset accepted, endangered species like koala, glossy black cockatoo and others that are lesser known, are facing death by a thousand cuts.

If giving our national icon a better chance to survive and recover does not interest you, consider the unravelling climate catastrophes and our obligations to reduce emissions fast.

Nature is our ally though. Instead of chopping down carbon-sequestering trees time and time again to facilitate tourism, protect every bit of remnant vegetation. It is a lot more effective and cheaper than new plantings which take years to establish and do the job.

We have until Monday 6 February to support council in making the right decision on the development application. Please send in your submission via mail@noosa.qld.gov.au ASAP. Catherine Cheung, Noosaville

the wrong thing, resulting in infringement notices from the police.

We live off Moorindil Street and I have to say, we find the traffic of a Saturday morning extremely frustrating. We often have to manage our mornings so as not to get caught in the queue or blocked from roundabout access, and not be able to get home if we go out.

Saturday week ago, the traffic was banked up to the marina. It is not going to get any better (even with a bigger ferry), increasingly worsening, especially on holiday long weekends. In the four years we have been in the neighbourhood, the car tailbacks have already doubled in length. We used to think it bad when it was backed up to the Shell station.

My husband and I pick up rubbish every day on our walk into Tewantin and on a Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday, the rubbish thrown out of vehicles is disgraceful, especially around the end where the service station is.

Rather than getting a bigger ferry to take even more drop kicks over to the North Shore, why doesn’t council look at charging at least double the cost each way to put people off.

Why doesn’t council look at introducing a permit either for day return access or overnight access and charge a fee just to go over (on top of the ferry cost)?

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A PRECISION DENTURE MAKES

12587864-SN05-23

The letter from Marcus Hare re ending tourism subsidies and divesting the funds into zero emissions initiatives such as electric minibuses is a breath of fresh air.

Indeed, the relentless impacts of tourism on Noosa are both environmental and social.

Tourism development has fueled the destruction of natural habitats, including homes of our beloved koala. Despite it being finally listed as endangered last year, efforts to protect the national icon from development are lacking.

A case in point, the Noosa Council is considering a development proposal from RACV for a material change of use for short-term accommodation and new lagoon pool at 94 and 142 Noosa Drive. The site, while relatively small, is within a core koala habitat with feed trees providing shelter as well as corridor for movements.

According to RACV’s amended proposal, the building of 16 eco-cabins would necessitate the removal of at least 89 trees, 44 or more are koala trees. The applicant argues that the proposal would enhance koala habitat by the removal of invasive frangipani vines and damaged trees, and replanting. My question is, why can’t such good work be done without putting in yet more tourism accommodation and car parks?

Critically, the QLD State Assessment Referral Agency (SARA) advised, “The site provides an important connection between Noosa National Park to the north through to Leslie Park and larger, interconnected areas of bushland that are mapped as koala habitat area (KHA) in a Koala Priority Area (KPA) to the southeast.

Furthermore, there are 107 records of koalas within 1 km of the site, and four records of koalas on the site. SARA considers that the impacts of the proposed development may result in an unacceptable impact on KHA, particularly as it relates to connectivity, fragmentation and safe koala movement.

Based on the information submitted with the application material, it is recommended the applicant consider whether development of the site is appropriate, considering the current threats facing koalas in South-East Queensland.”

around on the beach is going to be up for a lot of money to do so. Hooning should not be a visitor incentive for anyone at any time. With higher or additional visitor fees the money collected per person could be used to employ full time staff to ensure that excrement is dealt with properly, rubbish is removed, fires are put out completely, and people are using the area properly to ensure the safety of all.

High day fees in environmentally sensitive or desirable areas are increasingly common around the world. For example, the visitor cost per person per day for the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador is over US$100. That fee keeps the islands pristine, employs hundreds of local guides and park rangers, and enhances the reputation of the country. It does not lessen the desirability of the area.

We should be respectful of the beautiful place we have there and protect it for those that use it properly, safely and with respect for the land, the other users, and the locals who live there and the wider community.

On one hand, we are all talking about being more respectful of Indigenous people and their culture and looking after their country and in the next breath, the police are issuing over 800 fines of various natures to people not doing that. Changing the name of an area to represent its Indigenous heritage is all very well, but how much better would it be if it also allowed high employment of Indigenous people to actively manage/patrol these places too. If it can work at Uluru/Katajuta why not here too?

This region, Noosa, is relatively small but is devastatingly beautiful and we have managed to balance nature and expansion well.

We still have kangaroos and koalas in our park on Read Street. However, we must secure their future by not letting the tourism element of our region take the upper hand. There are only two roads in and out of Tewantin and when one is at a standstill it puts a heavy burden on the other. We truly need to find a balance that allows everyone to enjoy the space and at the moment that is not happening.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU From page 26

Follow Cardinal principal Two articles recently published in Noosa Today (20/1/23) continue to saturate the narrative that the proposed commercial development of Cooloola National Park is validated by it provision of immense benefit to Kabi people.

Development advocates’ repetitive delivery of this singular narrative amplifies their absolute silence upon two other very significant matters.

One of these is the complete absence of any public benefit from the proposed development other than the alleged returns to Kabi people. Would these wider benefits not be declared loudly if they existed?

The second is the long list of highly significant impacts that arise directly from the proposed private commercial exploitation of public conservation assets. No recognition or concern upon these is mentioned, nor is any useful response given to them when raised.

With no discernible wider public benefit, it is audacious to sidestep these very clearly identifiable public interest impacts by driving attention solely toward aspirational claims of a silver-lined Kabi horizon.

However, it is egregious to do this then those aspirational claims of Kabi benefit are misleadingly overstated, hollow and in large part are downright false. The Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) provides only tiny percentages of project equity and employment targets.

Aside from a small patch of sand atop Double Island Point that few in the Claim Group either would or could regularly access, the Kabi people get no direct or autonomous connection to country or any influence upon it.

Assertions of Kabi co-management of the Park, or influence upon issues such as beach management, are imaginary. They have no formal or factual basis. The ownership and benefits of this plan flow almost exclusively to the private corporate developer. They have the

direct title with the state, not Kabi. Kabi will sub-contract to the private developer.

Repetitive overstatement of the alleged benefits serves strategically to hide and suppress attention to crucial public interest matters, essentially zero benefit and high impact.

Additionally this strategy unfairly sets up the Kabi people as responsible for providing consent to these impacts. Upon that burden it also fails to ensure delivery of the crucially important cultural rights and needs that the developer advocates so piously assert as the pivot of the project.

Were these assertions real, one of these delivered rights would be a compliant and equitable process for ILUA development and consent, rather than the conveniently defective one provided. Another would be the engagement of Kabi from the very outset of project conception, not as a legally required tick box at the decorating end of things, a task now acquitted, commercially and culturally, at bargain basement rates.

Serious impacts obscured by all of this include site degradation upon intact habitat areas (including vegetation loss, micro-climate change, incursion of weeds, pathogens and erosion, etc), absence of public notification and accountability upon future increases to scale of site development, use and site area and to future changes of site ownership, commercial in confidence provisions preventing public knowledge of cost/benefit details, both overall and regarding particular ancillary matters such as public cost provision of service roads and safety management matters (fire, rescue, changed user expectations, etc).

The overarching impact of this Cooloola development would be its destruction of the Cardinal Principle. This principle demands the avoidance of impact upon natural and cultural values within National Parks. This loss would make our National Parks resources for commercial tourism as much as, or even more than, for nature.

Making that fundamental change without

public consultation, and under the cover of falsified benefits to First Nations’ people, is simply disgraceful.

NPA leads the way

Research then decide

After more than half a century of positive environmental activism, the Noosa Parks Association (NPA) is leading the way again, this time with its support for the Kabi Kabi (On the Soapbox with Michael Gloster, Noosa Today, Jan 20). When achieved, the Kabi Kabi’s aims in Cooloola and Teewah will have impact similar to other Noosa milestone events, initiated or supported by NPA – establishment of the headland park and the continuous expansion of associated national parks; the fight against beach mining; the population cap; the high rise ban; the Noosa Biosphere Reserve; and Bring Back the Fish. All have contributed to Noosa’s widely celebrated environmental credentials that benefit all of us. Now the Kabi Kabi aims will further enhance these credentials.

Congratulations NPA, and the Kabi Kabi.

Two letters to the editor in the 27 January edition of Noosa Today were very significant. They were expressing opinions about the potential vote to amend the Australian Constitution to recognise the right of the Indigenous peoples of this land to have an input on matters that directly affect them. What is important about both letters is the fact they are trying to generate further debate on this subject.

Firstly, a disclaimer… I have lived and worked with Indigenous peoples in Central and Northern Australia for over 40 years and have seen firsthand how over those years, local voices were ignored and decisions taken that have cost billions of dollars that have not led to any significant improvement in stated outcomes.

My input focuses on the fact this should not be a politically driven debate but one where all voting Australians should have the ability to just understand the issues and be allowed to vote as their conscience determines. Misleading and emotive media and politically motivated discourse only clouds the issue.

There is plenty of information available on various websites and it is not a difficult task to seek out what ’The statement from the Heart’ asks for and the suggested models on how to achieve this can be found.

Maybe it is time we all did start listening and heeding what the various local voices have been asking for, for so long. An advisory group having input to parliamentary decisions that have a direct affect on Indigenous matters will be a critical step on the path to better understanding why this country still has a group of people who are so significantly disadvantaged.

End tourism subsidy I, too, would like to add my voice to the call expressed by John Hare ( NT 27th Jan) to put an end to the huge subsidy that Noosa Council fork out each year to Tourism Noosa. When the roads and waterways are chockers now, why would you continue to spend money to encourage more people to visit? It is not only Hastings Street and Noosa main beach that are crowded.

I’m sure the money could be usefully spent on electric buses as suggested, or some other equally important project.

Some residents are very concerned about the proposal to destroy more koala habitat for an extension to the RACV resort, so council may earn some brownie points if it bought this

Rescued possum recovers Residents came to the rescue of a baby possum after a night time feline attack.

Beatrix Todd said the incident was heartbreaking at the time but had a happy ending.

“A few nights ago a cat decided to capture this poor possum joey. At only two weeks old, riding on his mum’s back he was unaware of the predators.

“I was able to free the possum from the cat’s mouth and thankfully he was unharmed, as was the cat,“ she said.

“Thanks to Wildlife Noosa, he was transported to emergency for antibiotic treatment, and next day he was taken into care by a carer.

“It is almost a miracle that the possum is unharmed and gets a second chance at life.

Our wildlife is precious.“ Beatrix asked cat owners to remember to keep cats indoors and not let them roam around harming wildlife to extinction.

“Best philosophy: live and let live,“ she said.

The possum receives care.

Sidewalk scrimmage One can only commiserate with Bobby Aitken following his bad day at the beach (NT 27/1).

While not on the same epic scale as the Main Beach mayhem described by Bobby, it is becoming downright dangerous just to walk along sections of the footpath at Noosa Junction which have become the domain of outdoor diners and e scooter riders.

Some bike and scooter riders shoot along the footpath as if they were driving a 4WD on Teewah Beach without a permit. The already limited footpath space is further reduced by the encroachment of dining tables outside popular cafes and restaurants.

As an unsophisticated plebeian, I must admit failure to understand the finer points of kerbside cuisine. It cannot be the exhaust fumes, traffic noise and flies that make footpath dining attractive. Nor the passers-by

inspecting your plate, no doubt passing judgment on the chef’s skills and your table manners. Or even the faithful dog resting under the table, waiting for the crumbs to fall.

I guess it is all part of the Noosa experience.

Nonetheless, if this form of roadside refreshment continues to flourish, something must be done to provide sufficient space for walkers, riders and diners to co-exist in relative safety and comfort.

Strawman haystacks In their letters (Noosa Today 27 Jan) Judy Barrass and Rod Ritchie misquote and misrepresent me, claiming I said things I did not say and then arguing against those things. That approach is called a strawman argument, a classic debating fallacy. Ms Barrass’ letter also contains a factual error.

Ms Barrass incorrectly claims I suggested “planning law changes are so rigid they will be in place forever”.

What I actually wrote, specifically in relation to regulating short term accommodation (STA), was “one of the problems with putting

the onus on the planning scheme was rigidity”.

I elaborated by writing “Once a property is approved for short term accommodation, the approval is attached to the property forever”.

Ms Barrass refutes this. She writes “My understanding is that the use must be continuous for this to be the case. If the property ceases to be used for STA, the existing rights cease.”

Ms Barrass’ understanding is incorrect. She conflates existing use rights with STA development approvals. Existing use rights are in the Planning Act to prevent retrospective application of planning scheme changes. According to Council fact sheets, owners already using their properties for STA were able to apply to council for confirmation of continued STA use without further planning approval and, if those STA uses ceased, the existing use rights might cease. This is in contrast to properties that get full council development approvals for STA. Rod Ritchie claims that “Ms Jackson […] lay blame on those who worked hard to blow the whistle on the STA revolution”. Not true.

I simply wrote “Rod Ritchie and Judy Barrass vocally decried the evils of short stay letting, urging council to do something about it”. This

LETTERS

could equally be interpreted as praise.

Mr Ritchie then goes on to imply at length that my mention of Barcelona’s approach to short stays meant I condoned “forbidding […] home hosted accommodation”. I do not.

What I really wrote: “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.”

It is sad to find myself misquoted and misrepresented so many times with strawman arguments.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU From page 29

Celebrate as a country This morning I completed my normal walk along the riverside on Gympie Terrace ,but it was not my normal walk. Today the river bank was festooned with pop up tents bedecked with Australian flags and mingling with people preparing to celebrate our national day.

The level of activity and enjoyment was very thought-provoking for me and I kept wondering why so many people throughout our coun-

try are ashamed of our history and what has been created here since European settlement.

I am a fifth generation Australian and I am extremely proud of what has been achieved here, not only during my lifetime, but for years before. I grew up in Albury on the Murray River in the post-war years and nearby was a migrant camp called Bonegilla where many refugees from the European War were camped upon their arrival . Some of the children of these refugees were at school with me and I learnt a great deal about the hardships

they had endured.

Many of the male refugees were deployed to the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme which was the greatest engineering project in this country at that time. Since that time we have been the destination for migrants from most European countries and many from Asian countries as well. As Australians we enjoy the contribution made to our culture by those who have settled from all continents of the world. There are a significant number of Aboriginal people who are a part of our society

and have made a very positive contribution to many aspects of our community including art, music, theatre and sport. They are also well represented in our various state governments and our Federal Parliament and we have good reason to be inclusive in our approach to their role in our society. Above all we have much to celebrate as a country and we should be proud of what we and our forebears have achieved and today should be that day to celebrate.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

On the Soapbox Barry Cotterell, PBCA President

Surf club is there to stay This article is the Peregian Beach Community Association’s response to irresponsible, uninformed media speculation about demolishing the surf club and building a large surf club hotel on protected, fragile dunes in Peregian Beach.

The residents and visitors to Peregian Beach want a safe beach.

Most of the time the beach is patrolled by paid professional life guards paid for by Noosa Council.

However, on Saturdays in the season between September and May, volunteer life savers patrol.

For providing volunteer life savers, Noosa Council leases the surf club building to Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club which is

funded by the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Supporters Club.

The club pays a token rent for the lease but is able to use the building located in a prime location in Peregian Park to fund the provision of life saving services. It also allows the club to train nippers which is both a community and a child safety service.

The location of the clubhouse is as far to the east as is possible in the State Coastal Protection Zone and is on the building control line under the Noosa Plan. This is to avoid the loss of the building from coastal erosion, especially due to a cyclone, but also climate change.

While some have criticised the state of the building, it is currently fit for its purpose and the roof has recently been maintained and the building painted. The interior was gutted and

refurbished recently in 2017.

Talk of rebuilding the Clubhouse further east on the dunes is irresponsible and is never going to happen.

Unlike other locations Peregian Beach does not have a rocky headland on which to locate a clubhouse. The location is a sand dune subject to erosion as has occurred previously when an earlier clubhouse was lost.

The location of the clubhouse requires state government approval And the state will not approve changing the reserve required for a building on the dunes.

Surf Life Saving Queensland would not agree to place the clubhouse at risk by such an application, having seen the impact of coastal erosion on other clubhouses.

Locals love local property...

TRUSTED

LOCAL

The president of the surf club has stated that the aim of the recently revived club is to build membership as opposed to a new clubhouse and to attain financial stability.

Put simply, the revived club does not have the $5 million quoted as required for a new clubhouse but has nine more years of the 10year lease of the existing building.

If any further proof was needed, last week, Noosa chief executive officer Scott Waters stated that council had “approved a 10 year lease to the club last year and there are no plans from council for any redevelopment.”

If the community wants to maintain a volunteer life saving service at Peregian Beach, it should work with the surf club and not other fringe groups from outside Noosa Shire who have other conflicting agendas.

Extraordinary life in print Intrigued by her African ancestry, Noosa resident, Jo Braithwaite, has spent years burrowing down the rabbit holes of history, searching for her great x6 grandfather, John Black Randall.

The journey took her through slavery in pre-revolutionary Connecticut, The American War of Independence, industrial Manchester, the rotting prison hulks of the Thames, and finally, a ship on the First Fleet to the penal colony that would become known as Australia.

Although highly fictionalised, the resultant novel, Black Randall, is highly evocative of the historical period and has kept faithfully to the known facts of his life.

“There’s no doubt he was a flawed and broken man, but his efforts helped that tiny starving settlement to survive,“ Jo said.

“And yet, not only do few people know his name, hardly anyone realises that there were 11 African convicts on that fleet. It puts a lie to the notion that Australia was settled only by white people.

“There is a lot of information recorded about him, but I wanted to understand him, stick a toe in the muck of his experiences, explore the roots of his resilience, the costs of his survival.“ The book has been praised by authors, including Shelley Davidow who said, “Black Randall is a beautiful book - almost Dickensian in its tragic scope and careful sensitive rendition of a character and his time deserving of our attention.“ Angela Meyer, award-winning author of a Superior Spectre, said, “Black Randall is a vivid reimagining of the life of John Black Randall. John’s complex inner world, relationships, and motivations, are fascinating and the narrative moves along at pace. Jo’s beautiful sentences bring the historical world to life.“ Award-winning author of Meet me at Lennon’s, Melanie Myers, said, “With sensitivity and imaginative flair and empathic curiosity,

Noosa resident, Jo Braithwaite with her novel Black Randall.

Jo Braithwaite reimagines the extraordinary life of convict John Randall to create an evocative and engrossing tale that seamlessly blends fact with fiction.“ The book will be launched at Peregian Beach Community House, 5-7 Rufous St, Pere-

gian Beach on Friday 17 February from 5pm to 6.30pm.

Wine and nibbles will be served on arrival.

A donation of $10 at the door will be appreciated.

Copies of Black Randall will be available for

Noosa Regional Gallery kicks off new year Those Folk set for four fun gigs Noosa Regional Gallery is excited to kick off the new year with two new exhibitions that focus on local artists of the Sunshine Coast and their relationship with the natural environment.

In an ambitiously scaled installation across the main gallery space, Curator and Noosa Regional Gallery Director Michael Brennan explores a unique perspective of natural Noosa in More Than the Sum of its Parts.

“Like the people who inhabit it, Noosa’s natural environment is richly diverse. From lush subtropical national parks, idyllic beaches, and soaring powder blue skies through to a sweeping river that connects the Hinterland with the Eastern Beaches, these places are often the inspiration for many of the region’s artists,” Brennan said.

In celebration of this significant aspect of Noosa’s identity and the artists who continue to make it the subject of their work, Noosa Regional Gallery has set out to recreate the epic distinctiveness of this prominent environment.

Featuring the work of multiple Sunshine Coast and Gympie artists, the immersive experience that is More Than the Sum of its Parts, results from the ambitiously scaled ensemble of individual artist’s works grouped thematically and chromatically.

Spanning floor to ceiling and across the Gallery’s walls, the expansive salon-style hang results in a grand presentation of a larger local landscape.

Adding to this immersive experience of the natural landscape, is a new solo exhibition by celebrated Sunshine Coast artist Trevor Purvis.

Australian Sienna, like More Than the Sum of its Parts, takes visitors on a journey into the natural world. However, Purvis pushes us deeper.

Ushering the visitor into the landscape’s depths, Purvis identifies the viewer as participant in the exchange rather than simply as onlooker.

Explains Brennan, “A common approach to the long tradition of landscape painting has been to stand back and take it all in. Think

Charismatic, authentic and thoroughly entertaining, Lawrence Menard and Clare Quinn are the transpacific-troubadours known as Those Folk.

The Pomona duo is touring around performing at the Pomona Majestic, Coolum Civic Centre, Eudlo Hall and Maleny Community Centre.

These concerts will be showcases of their original music and storytelling.

Support the local artists at: Majestic Theatre (Pomona): Saturday 11 February, 7pm.

Coolum Civic Centre: Saturday 18 February, 7pm.

Eudlo Hall: Sunday 19 February, 4pm.

Maleny Community Centre: Thursday 2 March, 7pm.

Mat McHugh brings the hits Mat McHugh and The Beautiful Girls are excited to be playing Eumundi on Saturday 11 February and, for the first time, combining the work of both of McHugh’s groups on stage.

The Together At Last Tour will be their first tour in three years.

With combined sales of over 500,000 albums and 100,000,000 streams, all released independently, the music of both Mat McHugh and his moniker, The Beautiful Girls has become firmly cemented in the Australian subconscious.

Raised in Sydney, by the beach, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist McHugh began his career by playing generator-powered guerilla shows at his local skate park, where his mix of bass heavy rhythms, dub, folk, soul, jazz and hip hop started to get people’s attention.

Word of mouth led to one of Australia’s best independent success stories.

Discussing the new tour, and McHugh’s first tour in three years and his first-ever as Mat McHugh and The Beautiful Girls, he admits, “That’s the agenda, just to try and let music help me make sense of it all again, like it always seems to do.”

Like the rest of us, McHugh’s life was thrown into limbo by the pandemic, with tours cancelled left right and centre and lockdown forcing us all to isolate from each other.

Not having the opportunity to perform is tough enough for any musician, but when you’re the kind of creative artist whose career is built around the idea of sharing the music you create, that forced isolation can be doubly difficult. It can make you lose your focus.

McHugh has always been prolific.

“The creative side of it never ends,” he admits.

“It’s just constant little squiggles of expression – you’re just doing stuff all the time.”

When there’s an album to work towards or a tour to organise, there’s always something to

Mat McHugh and The Beautiful Girls are excited to be playing Eumundi on Saturday 11 February. aim for, a focus.

“I always write to a deadline or a timeframe or a purpose and that gives a kind of structure to it or a frame around it – that’s just how my mind works.”

So the pandemic threw a spanner in the works in a way he couldn’t have anticipated.

Luckily, one thing that did come into focus was something that had become an unnecessary problem – how to overcome the issue of having two different catalogues, as The Beautiful Girls and as Mat McHugh?

“I kind of kept them separate for a long time

live for various reasons,” he explains.

“I saw them as two separate bodies of work, but at the core of it, of course, they’re basically the same thing. I mean, I make these records at home and play most if not all of the instruments on them, and so, after this past three years, I thought, ‘You know what? Part of this whole deal of recalibrating and getting back out on the road and seeing people and sharing music was just kind of stepping forward and joining the two bodies of work for the first time.’

“It’s a good healthy step forward and it al-

lows me the luxury of just picking and choosing the best of all of it. I’m very, very proud of the music I released as The Beautiful Girls and I don’t want to stop playing it because I love it.

It means a lot to me. This is a way of tying all those songs that people know, and people love, together so I get to release music in a way that feels honest and has integrity.”

Of course, now there’s a focus for the new songs he’s been writing, which naturally need a bit of road-testing to get them calibrated properly, so when McHugh heads out on the road with his band – bass player and producer Ian Pritchett, keyboardist Shannon Stitt and drummer Carlos Adura – the only problem he’s got is deciding what Mat McHugh and The Beautiful Girls will play.

After all, he’s got to pick the songs the fans want to hear and the songs he wants most to share from six Beautiful Girls and three Mat McHugh albums, let alone the EPs and singles, including his most recent, Lagoon, released in October 2020.

“Just doing The Beautiful Girls Seaside Highlife: Greatest Hits, Volume 1 was really hard,” he chuckles.

“That was a double album, which is probably longer than a gig! Then there are the solo records and then the new songs!” It’s a pretty nice problem to have.”

For McHugh, the point of it all is clear.

“I want to be on the side that art always does the best, to elevate the vibe, the positivity and bring a bit of relief from the doom and gloom. That’s really my only agenda – share love. That’s it. I just want people to have a good time; I want them to be together.”

And you couldn’t ask for a better reason to hit the road again after three years of uncertainty.

THE AUSTRALIAN INXS SHOW

Young Sunshine Coast artist Frances Anschutz is exhibiting her artworks of whimsy and imagination at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery during February.

Frances’s show, Memories of Imaginary Friends, explores and reinterprets the characters and experiences of the Winnie the Pooh stories. These stories resonate throughout our culture with an enduring mystery and enchantment that still touches many.

The dynamic works in this exhibition express a personal connection to the characters through the representation of their expressive imaginings and adventures.

Frances’s practice spans the mediums of drawing, painting, watercolour and digital and video art. She is an individual on the autism spectrum and is firmly established in her art practice, having exhibited solo at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre in September 2017.

Memories of Imaginary Friends will formally open at 11am, Saturday 4 February.

The show runs until 1 March.

Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station Street Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4pm, Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm, Saturday and Sunday.

Sheridan on the footpath Popular ABC Radio broadcaster Sheridan Stewart began a 90-day challenge simply to spend less, but it soon became an exploration of what matters most in life.

Her first book, I Am Enough, contemplates what it means to have enough, do enough and ultimately be enough. Told with insight and humour, it’s an antidote to the constant pressure to do more, have more and be more.

A busy radio presenter and broadcaster, author and mid-lifer, Sheridan Stewart created the 90-Day Enough Challenge out of necessity. She had been struggling with burnout for years but couldn’t find a way to break the cycle of dashing about feeling guilty about spending too much, eating too much and not being a good enough wife, friend, mother, volunteer, work colleague and human being.

Sheridan’s quest to prioritise calm, self-care and what really matters in life is inspirational.

The practical program she has created is in three parts with a detailed timeline, tips and checklists for every step of the journey.

Sheridan will be in conversation with writer and academic, Shelley Davidow, On The Footpath At Annie’s Books, Peregian’s justly famous wine and cheese flavoured lit get-togethers, next Wednesday 8 February from 6pm.

Says Annie: “Sheridan Stewart is a great friend of us all at Annie’s Books. She is a favourite broadcaster on ABC Local Radio, and is passionate about literature, music and the arts on the Sunshine Coast.

“Sheridan and Shelley are both writers, presenters and friends, and we can be assured of a lively and entertaining conversation.”

It’s a free event but seating is limited so bring a folding chair.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

TQ 2023 up and running One hundred and sixty kilometres in one day is the enormous challenge that will face some of Australia’s best endurance horses and riders at Imbil this year.

Preparations and planning for the 57th Tom Quilty Gold Cup National Championship to be held this year at the Stirling’s Crossing Equestrian Complex has got off to a flying start with a highly-successful committee meeting 160 days ahead of the 160km event to be held June 2325.

The Quilty, as it is known among horse enthusiasts, is an annual event and was first run in 1966 when the legend himself, RM Williams, wrote to his friend, Tom Quilty, looking for support to run the race.

Tom Quilty donated $1000 which was used to make a gold cup to be awarded to the winner. The original gold cup now resides in the Stockman’s Hall of Fame in Longreach Queensland.

The Stirling’s Crossing complex is a purpose-built endurance ride base and Arabian horse stud a few kilometres from the picturesque township of Imbil in South East Queensland’s historic Mary Valley.

The Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Club, will be hosting the event this year, which was originally scheduled to be held in Victoria this September.

The race these days is hosted on an annual rotation basis but there have been major disruptions over the past few years due to Covid restrictions and a string of bad weather.

Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Club president Kim Moir said, despite the short timeframe, the club was both grateful and excited to be given the opportunity to host the next Tom Quilty Gold Cup. “Our team of members and volunteers have a great deal of experience and knowledge in running successful endurance events, including the 2019 Tom Quilty.

“To get the event organised is a challenge in

Ride base at the 2019 Tom Quilty at Stirlings Crossing Endurance Complex, Imbil, Queensland. 317363

The Tom Quilty 2023 planning committee at Stirling’s Crossing Equestrian Complex in Imbil. 317343 itself and we are determined to put the Covid lockdowns and horrid weather that have disrupted our sport over the past few years behind us.”

Along with the change of venue, the 2023 event has been rescheduled to the week of the 23-25 June.

The club is expecting about 250 to 300 horses and riders from all parts of Australia and overseas to muster just before midnight for the start of a five-leg course that traverses through the Imbil State Forest.

The Quilty is a test of skill and stamina for both horses and riders who are required to qualify for the ride by achieving open status, and each rider must have successfully com-

pleted a 160-kilometre endurance ride.

As with all endurance events, the health and well-being of the horses are top priority.

Owner of the complex and Tom Quilty Gold Cup winner himself, Matthew Sample said it was a privilege to have this marvellous event at Stirling’s again in 2023, after such a successful 2019 event.

“Our hope is that we can again be a showcase for the sport of endurance and that our venue provides all our visitors with fond memories of what is undoubtedly the premier event on our annual calendar.

“We want everyone who is coming to Stirling’s that week, riders, support crews, volunteers and spectators, to have a great time.”

Time out for race drivers It’s a far cry from the stress, speed and sound of a Bathurst 1000 motor race, but a week at Noosa Springs, on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, was just the ticket for four of Australia’s leading V8 Supercars drivers.

James Courtney, Cam Waters, Thomas Randle and Declan Fraser – all members of the Melbourne-based Tickford Racing team – were at Noosa for training and team-building last week as they prepare for the 2023 Supercar series, which begins at Newcastle in mid-March.

During their stay they worked out in the Noosa Springs fitness centre, swam in the pool, took surfing lessons, cycled, hiked in the Noosa National Park, and relaxed with massages in the resort’s day spa.

They even had a visit from national swim champion Bowen Gough, who finished fourth in the final of the 200m butterfly at last year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. He provided swim tips and spoke to the drivers.

“It always helps to hear from other elite sports people,” said Anthony Klarica, whose company, Elite Performance, conducted the training camp.

Klarica, author of The Performance Mindset, said he chose to visit Noosa “for the weather,” and because the Noosa Springs facilities

provided everything the team needed.

Once known as Ford Performance Racing, Tickford Racing is one of the largest teams in the Supercars Championship, running four cars and campaigning with success across the country.

The team is led by 2010 Supercars champion James Courtney, a 15-time winner who enjoyed an illustrious development career in Europe and Japan before moving to Supercars in 2006.

Cam Waters, who has had podium finishes in the last three Bathurst 1000 races, was an Australian Formula Ford champion, won the 2017 Sandown 500 in just his second full Supercars season, and was the youngest ever Bathurst driver when he competed in 2011 at the age of 17.

Thomas Randle, a former karting star who graduated through the ranks of open wheel racing before stepping into Supercars, is about to begin his second season with Tickford Racing. He won the 2020 Super 2 Series and the 2014 Australian Formula Ford series.

Mackay’s Declan Fraser is the team newcomer, having won last year’s Super 2 Series and finishing eighth in his Bathurst debut alongside Craig Lowndes.

Cooling off in the Noosa Springs pool are (from left) Anthony Klarica, Thomas Randle, Cam Waters and Declan Fraser. James Courtney was already in the spa when the photographer turned up.

Karate kids kick the year off with vitamin SEA You get more than just your average martial arts class with Karate Community.

The new year started off with a healthy dose of vitamin sea, with local karate students attending a special beach karate training session: the theme of the day - throws.

Twenty-two students of all ages and experience levels gathered in karate uniforms at Peregian’s main beach where they were watched by family, friends and passersby.

It was a beautiful January Saturday, with the sun and fine weather warmly welcoming the group.

To avoid the day’s strong UV rays and peak temperature, the event took place in the early morning. While scattered showers were predicted, they were hardly a concern for the group who were already well prepared to get wet.

Karate Community’s business manager, Stephanie, chose this location because of its centralised location to students living around Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, the area’s beautiful scenery, convenient amenities and importantly, the watchful protection of our cape-less heroes, the surf life saving volunteers.

The program began on the shaded grassed parklands with a lesson plan that was going to sweep participants off their feet.

Misunderstood by many, karate is a holistic fighting system.

Stereotyped simply as a striking art, authentic karate in fact includes limb and joint manipulation, immobilisation and submission tactics, cardiovascular/respiratory constriction and take-downs. They call this the “five methods of unarmed combat - Tai-jutsu Gogi”.

Once students had prepared themselves for the rigours of the sessions, it was time to move onto the next phase - SURF-ival of the fittest.

The group was guided to the water where, while still in full karate-gi, were demonstrated how to safely execute the throws.

The beauty of training at the beach is that the water acts as a natural safety buffer for their throws, acting as an aquatic mat for participants to land on. It’s really quite fun, grabbing your friend, waiting for a wave and then, splash.

The beauty of training at the beach is that the water acts as a natural safety buffer for their throws.

The program was such a hit, local Peregian mother of two karate boys, Antoinette, was eager to see this program run every week. This was a sentiment shared by many involved.

Once the official training session was over, everyone enjoyed a relaxing social swim between the flags and a fresh fruit morning tea.

“At Karate Community, we love training outdoors,“ Stephanie said.

“Nature energises and invigorates us, it grounds and connects us. Training on the beach with the sand between our toes and the salty water’s cooling embrace, out in the fresh air and sunshine - it is what helps us maintain great mental and physical wellness.“ Karate Community looks forward to hosting many more events like this including mountain training and river training.

Thundering to another ton

By Randall Woodley

Lewis Waugh sends another ball to the boundary in his innings of 130. able to contain Caloundra’s score to 190, all out. Wickets were shared around between the bowlers with Latimer, Talbot, Gesell and Blundell each taking two and the others to Ron Lewis and new junior, Max Joyce.

Left to face three overs with the bat before close of play Ron Lewis and Naveen Chand played smart and finished the day at 0-5 with an achievable total to chase down next week to knock off the competition leaders.

JUNIOR CRICKET UNDER 17S: The team is finally showing its capabilities with a strong win over fourth placed Coolum. On Saturday they did everything right that they had been working towards including their fielding. They took their catches and bowled tight so that the scoreboard pressure became too much for the opposition.

There were some great performances by a number of the team, however, the Tom Daly and Finn Mayo spell(s) were integral early on a spinner’s wicket and Will Cooke took three in one over, unlucky not to get a hat-trick.

Finn Mayo scored a classy 46, Brandon Henderson took three catches and Morgan Avery, and Max Joyce snagged a wicket each.

The openers set the scene with a 204-run opening partnership on day one.

Great win and a chance to make the finals.

UNDER 15S: The team bowled and fielded well as a team on day two of their match to restrict USC to 8-164 off their 55 overs and take an away win in hot and humid conditions in Nirimba. Thunder did well to keep up the concentration and apply pressure all morning. Best Thunder bowlers- Bailey Hozier 3-7, Harper Whyatt 2-19 and Rory Ramsden and Tom Mason with a wicket each. The team will look to make it 3 wins in a row with their next 2-day game against Coolum.

WOMENS GRADE: The team had a great win under lights over USC in their first mother and daughters match. The Thunder girls scored 5-134 with Kirsty 25 top scoring and captain Petrina 19 no. They restricted the USC girls to 93 runs off their 20 overs.

It was a solid weekend for all the TewantinNoosa Thunder cricket teams, most teams playing day one of their two-day matches.

However, the standout highlight of the weekend was the 130 runs scored by First Grader Lewis Waugh in the club’s match against Nambour Cutters at the showgrounds.

FIRST GRADE The team travelled to Nambour to play the locals at the showground in what some players consider is the steam bath ground on the coast. It was a hot day with not a breath of wind so when the Tewantin-Noosa captain won the toss and batted there were some very relieved Thunder players.

The outfield was slow, and the wicket could be considered a road. Openers Lewis Waugh and Ben Laughlin started confidently and had scored 98 before the first wicket of Ben Laughlin fell for 54.

Jake Dennien, Jarrod Officer (34), Cody Pyne (24) and Andrew Kratzmann (29) all contributed to the score, but the innings was all about Waugh who stayed at the crease until the end when the last wicket fell for 309.

He scored 130 making batting look effortless.

Thunder were all out in the 84th over which was the planned declaration.

All 10 out were caught with a few of the wickets lost going for quick runs. That left Thunder 10 overs minimum to bowl. Both Tom Stewart and Ben Laughlin bowled tightly and at stumps the Cutters were 1 for 30 with plenty of work to do next week! Congratulations Lewis Waugh on another 100.

SECOND GRADE The team had a long afternoon in the heat against the Caboolture Snakes at Read Park.

All the bowlers performed well but wickets were hard to come by and at stumps Caboolture were 2-205. Thunder wicket-takers were Ben Potter and Jarred Davis. Next Saturday will be an interesting day, depending how long Caboolture will continue to bat.

THIRD GRADE The team was playing the first day against the top side in the grade, Maroochydore Swans at their home ground. Thunder was asked to field first, and their opening bowlers held the Swan’s batsmen to about six runs off 12 overs.

This applied pressure led to the inevitable playing of loose shots and in the end Thunder bundled them out for 110. All the bowlers continued with excellent line and length with best figures from Richard Lee 4-18 and Tadhg Crowley 3-24. Tiernan Crowley, Ben Shaw and Ethan Slaney all took a wicket each.

This team continues to improve each week in every department and last Saturday was the team’s best day of cricket this season so far. At the end of play Thunder were 3-70 in reply with plenty of depth still to come next weekend.

FIFTH GRADE The boys were playing Palmwoods at Dale Officer Oval and bowled first. The team were soon on top having them 3 down for 67. That is where the joy ended for a couple of hours with two of their batters putting on a 200run partnership. By the time Thunder got the breakthrough, they were 4-263. To everyone’s credit, the Thunder players stuck it out and managed to pick up the remaining six wickets to have them all out for 356.

Best of the bowlers were Graham Chaplin 4-29 and Wayne Moore 3-111 who could easily had 5. Tony Watson, Finn Mayo and Dave Lyons all snagged a wicket each.

Thunder then had to bat out seven overs at the end of the day which did not go well and at stumps the scoreboard read 3 -27. However the team is prepared to turn up next Saturday and give it a go.

SIXTH GRADE The team was hosting the ladder leaders Caloundra at home and were asked to field in the heat first. Things started well with Justin Talbot taking a wicket first ball and then Justin Latimer removed the other openers stumps soon after. The whole team bowled and fielded well and kept them contained on the small field to be ahead at first drinks. After dropping a few catches, the boys got things back on track and were soon taking wickets again after the tea break and Thunder were

Scattered clouds.

Talking Sport Ron Lane

Wonderful world of sport Despite not wearing football boots, there are three sports in this town that are going gang busters.

The big three, are pickleball, outrigger canoe racing and Shotokan karate.

But perhaps a major plus is the fact that you can be still going strong at age 40. And as we sometimes say of other people, with all due respect, ‘age shall not weary them’.

Figures from America tell us that there are now some five million playing pickleball and that the centre for the sport is East Napier Collier County. This now plays host to the big event the American Open Championship.

In Australia, it is now definitely the fastest growing sport in the Commonwealth, so much so that Tennis Australia has now began to sit up and take note. In a recent press release Tennis Australia has a radical plan to get more Australians playing the game. In America tennis legends John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Michael Chang and Andy Roddick will compete in an exhibition Pickleball tournament with a $1 million prize money.

Tennis Australia plans to capitalise on the success of America’s fastest growing sport by introducing it at tennis clubs around the country.

This controversial initiative, which will also combat the threat posed by the modified version of tennis, has been discussed at TA headquarters since the start of the year, and may ruffle the feathers of purists. One initiative is aimed at keeping ageing players in the sport, given that the court size is a lot smaller than a tennis court.

“There are a number of clubs throughout Australia, who based on some members or word of mouth, want to play pickleball,” TA chief tennis officer Tom Lerner said.

“But there’s also been a substantial increase in pickleball, so both sports have really grown significantly through that period. I think it’s a great example of how they can both grow and co-exist.”

Also from Florida USA, Stuart Duguid Vice President of International Management Group said, “ I can definitely see more ATP and WTA players trying their hand at pickleball.”

To be aware that the future, and indeed the relationship of both sport is being discussed in what appears to be an open minded and level headed manner, at the highest level, is indeed encouraging for all concerned, in particular for those in our community.

Karate Members of our local Karate Noosa, Shotokan Club are very excited. In early February the club will have the privilege to play host to the World Chief Instructor of World Shotokan Karate, Hitoshi Kasuya, 9th Dan. ‘’He is the highest-level international instructor in the world and during his visit he will be conducting a two-day seminar right here in Noosa,” said Noosa Chief Instructor Bryan Dukas, 6th Dan. “After some four years of negotiating, it is finally about to happen. It was originally planned for 2020, but this was stopped by Covid. However, when the tour finally got underway a gap opened in his travel program and the rest is now history. The world’s chief instructor is about to visit our club here in Noosa. ”It is his first visit to Australia in 10 years.

Now at age 74 his knowledge and experience is beyond equal.”

Apart from the physical aspects of the training, Sensei Kasuya will also address the members on the mental approach to karate. This art is not just concerned with winning medals.

The traditions, discipline and history, of Japanese martial arts, known as Budo (the Way of the Warrior) is and always will be of the utmost importance.

“For us the timing could not be better,” said Sensei Dukas.

“This will be a great preparation for our club which is in training for the up-and-coming Shotokan World Titles to be held in Japan in November. Apart from the competition, two 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 February, 2023

club members Rick Hislop 5th Dan and Nicole Thornton 3rd Dan will be experiencing upgrading - Rick to his 6th Dan and Nicole to her 4th Dan.” To train and study under Hitoshi Kazuya a former world champion and member of the Japanese National Team would definitely be an experience not to be missed. Following his sojourn in Noosa, he will travel to Adelaide then Perth. His visit will be the chance of a lifetime.

He will be teaching in not only Australia, but also many countries that are members of the World Shotokan Karate Federation.

Yet again here is an example of the high standard of coaching that has become available to our athletes of the various sports, now being taught within the boundaries of Noosa.

For our three above named sports, things are certainly on the up.

For Noosa Outriggers, it’s the purchase of a new six-man outrigger canoe,($30,000). For that sport with the funny name, pickleball, it’s the news that Tennis Australia will be definitely working closer with them in the future. For Karate Noosa, it will be their privilege to host the visit of the world’s chief instructor for the World’s Shotokan Karate Federation.

The above are three major happenings that will surely be of great importance in the time ahead. All of which speaks volumes for the good work and solid reputation enjoyed by these clubs.

Outrigger For the Outrigger Club, the spirit of aloha was alive and well on Saturday. Paddlers from all over Queensland participated in their Laguna Regatta. The carnival consisted of races over 8km and 16km on the bay (West Beach) and shorter races on the river for the novices.

Surf lifesaving Big weekend for our lifesaving competitors at Maroochydore Friday and Saturday for the annual carnival, sponsored by Murphy Builders, The Summer of Surf.

Lana Rogers, now competing for Alexandra Headlands, finished second in the final of the Iron Woman.

Junior competitors from both Noosa and Sunshine Beach SLSC had a successful weekend of competition.

For Noosa, best of all was the U15 boys performing well in all events, but the greatest moment was getting five into the final of the Iron Man: with Darcy Dunnage finishing second and Charlie Harmer third. And this was from a field of 20. These results look good for Noosa’s future.

Also, great effort from three young Sunshine Beach members all making the final of the U15 iron man. Oliver Dillewaard from Sunshine finished fourth in the U17 ski and team mate, Darcy Lewis, performed well to win the U15 surf race. Then the Lewis brothers, Luke and Darcy, finished second and third in the U15 board race: and Noosa’s Gus Anderrsen and Rory McIntyre came home fifth and seventh respectively in the final.

The open section saw Carla Papa of Noosa in the board, ski and iron finals and Electra Outram also in the board and iron finals: and Jayden Morrow in the surf race final. Great performance from both clubs, in particular from the U15s.

Next weekend is going to be full on for our athletes in the sport of weightlifting and little athletics. Also Saturday 4 February at 8am start for the Noosa Seahorse Nippers.

We wish them well.

Club spokesperson reported that the races were conducted in near perfect conditions, although the easterly swell got up to test the paddlers in the long races. The paddlers battled against choppy conditions and warm temperatures in a race that took over 1 hour 15 minutes for the fastest boat and nearly two hours for the last boat home.

On the river Noosa Recreational team took out the race against other novices. Ably skippered by veteran Paul Redfern, they were the first recreational team to ever win a race.

In the 8km races Noosa’s Novice Women’s and Masters Women’s took out the silver medals, while the men had winners in the Masters Unlimited, Platinum Men and Senior Masters Men. Time for the 8km races took on the average 40 minutes.

The 16 km race for women saw Noosa’s Golden Masters Mixed, and Women’s team take out gold. The overall winner was Coral Sea who travelled all the way from Townsville for the race. The men’s race was won overall by Mooloolaba, with team Bodo, winning their team division for Noosa: The Masters Men, and the Senior Masters Men, unlimited teams also taking out their divisions.

Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligations in return. The respect that canoe paddlers have for each other and the Polynesian culture is amazing. Most teams have a strong contingent of South Sea Island People for whom canoe paddling has a strong cultural significance.

Our local outriggers is a very inclusive club, and anyone wanting to try the sport is invited to join. The club website is noosaoutriggers. com.au It has all the information.

A surfer’s worst nightmare as Keala goes for a deep dive.

Uh-oh! Second of three.

That crazy day at The Bay Last week I wrote this column with one eye on the Mac screen and the other on the rather home-made live streaming of the Eddie Aikau Memorial Invitational from Waimea Bay, possibly the most frightening and fabulous big wave event I’ve witnessed, despite the frequent glitches.

But the fact that chaos ruled the day at The Bay, the commentators had no communication with the judging tower and not even a heat sheet, and at times just had to guess who was behind a wall of spray as a surfer plunged down and down a massive Waimea wall, perhaps all of that made a real point of difference between the silky smooth but same-same presentation of a WSL world tour event.

The first Eddie since 2016, and the first one produced without the rivers of gold chucked at it by Quiksilver, back when it was a real surf company, was definitely old school but also real school, not to mention pretty damn cool.

There were some great and heart-warming side stories to come out of the 2023 Eddie once the spray had settled, none better than the one about winner Luke Sheppardson appearing on the podium to collect his trophy and cheque wearing his red and yellow lifeguard uniform.

Why? Because he was on active duty that day, and his boss had given him an hour off to surf each of his two heats. So after surfing the biggest waves ever ridden in competition at Waimea, if a spectator had been washed out by a rogue set, Luke would have had to find an extra bit of energy and do his thing.

Last week I mentioned that the veterans excelled, with Michael Ho, the grandfather of the event at 65, pulling in to some monsters without blinking, and our own Ross Clarke Jones, 56, surfing fearlessly and hamming it up on some absolute bombs.

But they weren’t the only ones.

Former WSL Big Wave Tour commissioner and Mavericks charger Pete Mel, 53, took the drop on some howlers, and even finished a couple, notably holding hands with Shane Dorian, 50, as they finished a heat closer.

Then, of course, there was the GOAT, 11-times world champ Kelly Slater, 51 next week, who won the Eddie in 2002 and was listed to compete in this one, but, as he told the TV cameras, “I just woke up this morning and wasn’t feeling it.”

At this stage of his career Kelly doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone, and he may have been thinking about the importance of his title defence at the Pipe Pro world tour event this

A surfer’s worst nightmare as Keala goes for a deep dive. week, but maestro that he is, what he did with his invitation had grown men wiping a tear away.

He gave it to Chris Owens, a 60-ish North Shore lifeguard, waterman and inter-island paddling champion and frequent charger on the biggest days at The Bay who had never received an invitation to compete.

Earlier in January, Chris had hit the headlines when he was hospitalised after a surfer who should never have even thought of paddling out, dropped in on him and sent a loose gun careening at his head.

Chris’s big brother Bobby was one of the best surfers and nicest guys on the fledgling

IPS World Tour in the 1970s. I wrote a few articles about him and we became friends – how could you not? – and I kept up with him over the decades as he went through health issues and ran surf schools at Waikiki and Turtle Bay. I met Chris once or twice back in the day too, before he scored the cover of Surfer Magazine with a Peter Crawford shot of him at Backdoor. That great shot, flipped into a left, later became a Jan and Dean compilation album cover, giving Chris another 15 minutes of fame.

But I bet it wasn’t as good as giving Kelly Slater a thank you hug and paddling out at The Bay and showing the stuff you’re made of on the day of all days.

Chris Owens makes the cover. Picture: SUPPLIED Then there were the girls – six of them and all prepared to paddle over the ledge and take on the bottomless pit.

For me the pick was Kauai’s DJ Keala Kennelly, whose heart is bigger than her body. I’ve followed Keala’s career since we looked after her as a teenager in France on the qualifying tour, and if you follow Keala you’ve often got your heart in your mouth.

But this was beyond hero stuff.

She made a few good ones and took a few on the head, as the sequence of heli-shots by the legendary snapper Mike Coots illustrates.

Keala emerged unscathed but says she’s done with the Eddie. We’ll see.

HEAT IN THE MARKET ON NEW YEAR’S WAVE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY CONFIDENCE reigned last weekend at Tom Offermann Real Estate auctions with a high turnout of crowds, and registered bidders hoping for a result in their favour.

It was the first big Saturday auction campaign of the year and was watched intently by potential buyers and future sellers seeking a barometer of the market.

The day was hot, and it was matched by the enthusiasm of all involved.

Twenty-two bidders were registered, and the crowd numbers were high, particularly with locals appreciating the theatre and perhaps wishing at the same time they could be in the box seat one day.

Popularity for the eastern beaches remains strong and there are not many properties to choose from.

Six properties were scheduled for the auction but one was sold just prior.

A three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car townhouse with pool at 2/7 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, goes to auction at 12pm on 10 February. 317298

A jubilant Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tracy Russell at 7/31-33 Lorikeet Drive, Peregian Beach. 317298 “was a textbook example of the power of auctions to deliver decisive and unconditional sales at premium prices,” commented agency principal Tom Offermann.

“The vendors watched on as about 100 visitors arrived including seven couples with bidding cards in their hands hoping it would soon be theirs.

“Twenty minutes later an eruption of applause heralded the finale of the spirited bidding at $3.65m, and the ecstatic new owners made their way to the signing table with jubilant Tracy.

“The auction process is really the best and fairest way to sell.

“The buyers know they haven’t paid too much because other bidders were just behind them, and the sellers know they have achieved the maximum price.“ SUNNY OUTCOME Similar success reigned at the Tom

Offermann Real Estate agent Roark Walsh’s listing of 1/9 Hill Street at Sunshine Beach with numerous registered bidders vying for the keys. It was sold for $1.35m to investors from Sydney.

Meanwhile offers are on the table post-auction for the Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tim McSweeney’s listing of 56 Netherby Rise at Sunrise Beach, and at the Roark Walsh and Tiffany Wilson’s listing of 2/38 Park Crescent at Sunshine Beach, two registered bidders are negotiating post auction. It was passed in at $5m.

NEW RECORD AT PEPPERS Sold prior to last weekend’s auction was the Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller’s listing of 8506/5 Morwong Drive in Noosa Heads.

At $860,000, it set a new record sales price for a one-bedroom apartment at Peppers Noosa Resort.

A few weeks earlier, Chris also achieved another record sale at Peppers Noosa Resort - this time a three-bedroom Tree Top Villa 5102. It sold for $2.8m.

POINTS OF INTEREST Gillian McCauley at Richardson & Wrench Noosa reports outstanding responses in the marketing campaigns of properties at Noosaville and Marcus Beach.

There has been massive interest in the three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car townhouse with pool at 2/7 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, that goes to auction at 12pm on Friday, 10 February, Gillian said.

“The first open house we held saw 30 groups come through.

“There is a lot of local interest but also from interstate.

“The location and presentation of the property are the key interest points.’’

The apartment is open Sunday 12.301pm.

THE HEART OF GYMPIE TERRACE In the Riverside complex of eight, the twobedroom, two-bathroom apartment 8/235 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, goes to auction with Chris Miller at 1pm on Saturday, 18 February.

The top-floor apartment features high ceilings and what Chris calls “a cheeky river glimpse.’’

And the northerly aspect attracts natural through the upper windows, and into the open-plan living and dining spaces.

The U-shaped kitchen has pale grey stone-topped creamy-white two-pac cabinetry, including a pantry and a fourmetre long semi-island bench.

Both bedrooms are carpeted, have builtin robes and louvres.

The main has an ensuite with a spa bath, also wispy grey sheer curtains on the sliding doors to the terrace.

The undercover terrace overlooks the pool, palms and bright red poinciana trees.

What’s not to love about penthouse-style living in the heart of Gympie Terrace?

The next open for inspection is Saturday 11-11.30am.

THE ART OF NEGOTIATION Greg Smith and Tanya Taylor of Select Noosa are deep in negotiation after the two auctions they held last Saturday.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, twocar house at 6 Cambridge Ct, Tewantin, saw seven registered bidders.

Held in the backyard of the property, which Greg regards as arguably one of the best streets in Tewantin, there was a crowd of 50-60 in attendance.

With mainly local interest, the property was passed in at $975,000.

Greg and Tanya are now dealing with prior and post-auction interest, including those who weren’t in a position to bid on the day.

It was a similar outcome at the twobedroom, two-bathroom, two-car duplex at Villa 2/14 Weyba St, Sunshine Beach, later that day.

Greg and Tanya are dealing with overseas interest as well as prior local interest not able to bid at auction.

“There is a lot of activity taking place behind the scenes,’’ Greg said.

Two auctions coming to the market later this month include a three-bedroom townhouse in Noosaville and a vacant block of land at Peregian.

HOME FOCUS

ENVIABLE ADDRESS, 3-LEVEL TOWNHOME ARE you consumed with desire to living and loving the good life every day, a few footsteps from the sparkling Noosa River foreshore, watching kids splash in the shallows and build sandcastles, fishing from a jetty, envying locals who walk their dogs or two-wheel it along the dedicated cycleways, and having classy cafes and waterfront restaurants on your doorstep?

What about making the dream come true with a sure-fire, one-of-a kind investment opportunity, set in a sprawling tropical enclave with palms, three pools and two street frontages, in the absolute cosmopolitan heart of Noosaville?

Picture the sassy bright white façade of a three-level, four-bedroom capacious townhome including a studio and numerous terraces, in a small end row on popular James Street.

Admire the largest pool in the resort from the front entrance, step inside, note sandy-toned tiles and French doors leading out to a terrace with views over the pool and gardens. From the terrace on the north-easterly side off the dining area catch salty breezes off the river whilst sipping sundowners. Certainly, says holidays every day... in spades.

The hub on this level is a C-shaped kitchen with blue/black granite-look benchtops, timber counter top/breakfast bar, cream laminated cabinetry, plus every appliance necessary to create a family dinner or just salads to go with takeaway fish and chips. The wall cabinetry extends into a hideaway laundry and a built-in bar/ sideboard in the dining space.

Upstairs are three carpeted bedrooms with built-in robes.

The master bedroom has an east-facing terrace, a dresser and an ensuite. Two additional bedrooms share a west-facing terrace, bathroom and a separate toilet.

Connecting via exterior steps from the upper level is the studio on the lower level with a terrace at the front entry inside is tiled throughout. It has one bedroom, one bathroom, lounge area, kitchenette, a builtin desk, plus another terrace on the James Street side.

There’s no denying this property is one-of-a kind, and has the genes aka great bones, a makeover specialist/sage investor would cherish. Being three levels with a self-contained studio/hang out space, and six terraces also such close connectivity to the biggest pool and two spas which are heated during winter, plus barbeque facilities, a cabana also gym nearby, this really is a prized investment opportunity.

“And what about the location for pursuing the good life when it is done and dusted,” effuses Tom Offermann Real

Estate agent Melanie Primmer who is taking the property to Auction on Saturday 18 February 2023. “The two-street frontage onto James and Gympie Terrace and environs (plus on-trend restaurant on the corner) will never lose its popularity.

“Gympie Terrace runs parallel to the dog-friendly Noosa River foreshore, gazebodotted park with exercise equipment, companies hiring pleasure craft, also some of the best cafes, bars, restaurants, gift shops and boutiques are on the doorstep.

It’s a couple of ferry stops to Hastings Street, and you can walk to popular Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, also the Noosa Village shopping precinct.”

NOOSA TODAY 21

HOME FOCUS

FAMILY TREASURE IN TEWANTIN HOT SPOT SITTING on the perfect corner of a small cul de sac, almost sequestered on two sides by flourishing gardens of magnificent palms, is a recently renovated residence, suited to a family who love entertaining as well as living the good life indoors and out. Oh and of course being within walking distance to parks, schools, transport links and shopping centres, plus only ten minutes to cafe central on Gympie Terrace and the gazebo-dotted Noosa River foreshore with restaurants, ferry stops and boat hire companies.

From the auto gates there is a timber walkway, a corrugated/timber feature wall and a deck to the custom glass and timber-framed pivot front door.

Inside the contemporary residence with monochromatic palette and on-trend UV polyurethane seamless flooring, reveals expansive L-shaped open plan, multiple living areas, perhaps defined as a lounge as it has a wood burning fireplace, a dining space as well as a living area, which thanks to sliding doors melds with outside.

A 13-metre-long undercover terrace suggests barbeques, the abutting lawn area has a fire pit and is fringed on two sides by strelitzias, better known as the colourful birds of paradise, and the pool with large urn water feature, has a deck for sun worshippers.

The kitchen in the eastern corner looks out to garden, has creamy concrete topped/two-pac cabinetry including the island/breakfast bar, a pantry, cream splashback and appliances including a gas cooktop, to suit the entertainer. From the deck off the dining area fully appreciate some of the ten palm varieties such as golden cane, foxtails and the mighty Cuban.

In the south-west wing with sliding doors out to the terrace and pool, is the master suite with walk-in robe, ensuite creamywhite and feature tiles also double vanity cabinetry. Three bedrooms in the north-

east and west wings have timber-hued flooring and walk-in robes. Two have bay windows and the family bathroom has a free standing bathtub and an etched glass feature shower wall.

Nearby is a laundry, office and storeroom combo plus a WC for pool users.

“This is without a doubt one of the most sought-after central-to- everywhere locations for families in the Noosa Shire,“ comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart.

“It is a 10-minute walk to local shops including the Noosa Outlook IGA, also walking distance to a bus stop, neighbourhood parks including Alec Loveday, River Park and Lake Doonella, which is popular for kayaking. Local public and private schools are just a few minutes’ drive.
