Swell of excitement

Harrison Roach defies gravity at the 2009 festival.

Picture: NFS

With the 32nd edition of the Noosa Festival of Surfing less than a week away, expectations are running high that the surf god Huey and the return of swell action in the Coral Sea will see vintage waves for the record number of local and international competitors here for the nine-day event. As well as age divisions ranging from over 70s to juniors for both men and women, feature events will include the World Surf League qualifying Noosa Longboard Pro, as well as a new high performance event and the return of the surfing dogs and a crowd favourite over decades, the Golden Breed Noserider. Many of the best noseriders in the world will compete in a time-trial event in which they are scored for riding with five or 10 toes over the nose of the board, hoping to emulate the gravity-defying rides of locals Jai Lee, a former champion, and Harrison Roach, current world longboard champion, pictured here as a stick-thin teenager draping 10 toes over back in 2009.

Is Walk on track? By Phil Jarratt

12572850-DL42-22

Exactly a year ago Noosa Today asked the question, “Is the Great Walk off track?” This week we finally got an answer in the form of a joint statement of intent from South Australian-based CABN, the Queensland Government-selected proponent for the ecotourism project, and the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation, its proposed management partner. And while it left a lot to be desired in terms of a clear timeline and roadmap to completion, it did at least lift the cone of silence for the first time in a year to reveal that yes, the controversial “glamping” project is marching ahead, if at a somewhat slower pace than the average walker would complete the five-day walk. The statement, welcomed and endorsed by

Queensland tourism authorities, began: “CABN has confirmed that it will proceed with final design planning for the multi-day, guided cultural tourism experience following endorsement from the Traditional Land Owners, the Kabi Kabi Corporation. The collaborative project between the Kabi Kabi Corporation and CABN will introduce a sustainable, cultural tourism experience, owned and operated in partnership with the Kabi Kabi Corporation and CABN. Intrepid Travel, a shareholder of CABN, will add value in the partnership, drawing on their experience in sustainable First Nations tourism globally.” Last May CABN and Melbourne-based Intrepid Travel, one of the world’s leading small group travel operators, announced an equity partnership that would see the sustainable travel group with impressive global reach invest almost $8 million in the growth of CABN’s

off-grid accommodation business and help integrate it into their own Australian travel itineraries. While the equity partnership between CABN and Intrepid covers a range of projects around Australia, Intrepid’s vast experience and commitment to developing First Nations sustainable tourism models is expected to become a major factor in future partnerships with Kabi Kabi. As Intrepid regional managing director Brett Mitchell told Noosa Today last month: “We haven’t mapped who does exactly what at this stage, but the intention is to create a genuine partnership between CABN and the Kabi Kabi community, with Intrepid contributing training programs and product expertise, but a lot of this will be driven by CABN and Kabi Kabi working up the commercial models and the skill sets required.

“Intrepid has had considerable experience working with Indigenous people in Australia and elsewhere to develop training programs and to build capacity for their communities in and around tourism. “It’s a complex business but we’ve had 33 years of managing sustainable, small group travel and we want to share that with the Kabi Kabi.” As this week’s statement noted: “CABN has consulted extensively with Kabi Kabi in collaboration on all aspects of the proposed walk, including site accommodation locations, cultural monitoring, caring for country and the visitor experience through education and conservation. It represents the beginning of CABN’s long-term partnership with the Kabi Kabi people and the wider Cooloola community.” Continued page 5

Wednesday 4 January, 2023, was a sad day for Oriana Choir, and for the nation. It was on that day that Alan Mackay-Sim AM, the 2017 Australian of the Year, pioneer in bio-medical research, and much loved choir member of Oriana Choir as well as the Brisbane Chorale and Sinfonia, passed away after a long illness. He was 71. Alan had been described as a titan of science, referring specifically to his groundbreaking work in stem cell research and diseases of the brain. He was known and respected by scientists, academics, eminent medical persons and policy makers the world over. His time with Oriana was relatively brief – he was a fully participating, and much valued member of the bass section for five years. But during that time, he made a lasting impression, and he will be both sadly missed and very fondly remembered. Orianians will remember him, not as the high-flying and brilliant scientist and pioneering researcher that he undoubtedly was, but as a friend, a fellow chorister, modest and unassuming, someone who laughed easily, who got on with anyone and everyone, and was happy to be just one of the gang. He had a great sense of humour, great generosity of spirit always willing to help, whatever the task. Oh, and he could really sing, too. Many times I have stood beside him and enjoyed hearing his rich, deep voice. Those of us who were fortunate to be part of Oriana’s 2019 concert tour of Italy will have some great memories of Alan. One in particular stands out. We had several days in Lake Garda, and on one of those days we all took a boat trip across the lake to the village of Sirmione. Alan took great delight in wearing a skipper’s peaked hat and sitting at the helm. With his trademark moustache and delighted grin, he looked for all the world as if he was in total control of our craft. As they say, a picture tells a thousand words. A celebration of Alan Mackay-Sim’s life was held at the Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre at the D’Aguilar National Park in The Gap. It was a life well lived, one in which he was

Oriana’s first concert season for 2023 is titled Oriana Sings – Mozart Vespers and the Music of Ola Gjeilo. Performances: Sunday 23 April, Maleny Community Centre, 2pm; Saturday 29 April, St John’s Cathedral, Brisbane 2pm; and Sunday 30 April, Stella Maris Primary School Hall, Maroochydore, 2pm. We are honoured to dedicate this concert programme to the memory of our dear friend and fellow lover of music, Alan Mackay-Sim. May he rest in peace, richly deserved.

International Women’s Day (IWD), a United Nations initiative, is coming up on 8 March and this year the theme is - DigitALL, recognising the importance of technology but the disparity of its use between the genders. Where would we be without our computers or iPhones to do just about everything from staying in touch to paying bills, booking appointments, gaining directions or obtaining information. According to the UN, almost 40 per cent of women worldwide do not use the internet, and about 260 million fewer women than men have access to the internet If women are unable to access the internet and do not feel safe online, they are unable to develop the necessary digital skills to engage in digital spaces, which diminishes their opportunities to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related fields. The UN estimates that by 2050, 75 per cent of jobs will be related to STEM areas. The UN this year aims to celebrate women who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. There are several events in Noosa this IWD where women in fields from the justice system to politics to sport are championing women’s achievements.

Trailblazers light up IWD This year on International Women’s Day, LNP Noosa is celebrating trailblazers who have achieved huge amounts in their careers, across politics, business, creative industries and sport. LNP Noosa Branch president Leigh McCready said the branch was excited to be bringing such a diverse group of inspiring women together in the same place, at Gusto overlooking Noosa River. “This year, we are supporting charity Share the Dignity, founded by Queenslander Rochelle Courtenay in 2015 and which has now grown to be a national charity with over 6000 volunteers. Her message to all women is a powerful one,” Leigh said. Rochelle said when women support women, it feels like nothing can hold them back. “We may be weak, but we are also strong. We are vulnerable, but we are also invincible. We know fear, but in its face, we can be brave. We too often remain silent, but when we find our voice we can change the world,” Rochelle said. Leigh said on 8 March, they invite local men and women to join them to celebrate all the local inspiring women. Tickets are $100 for a two course meal with drink on arrival, with $30 from each ticket going to Share the Dignity, plus there will be raffles on the day. “We would like to invite attendees to bring something to contribute to the Share the Dignity sanitary product drive which will be collected on arrival,” she said. International Women’s Day panellists are: Sallyanne Atkinson – the former Lord Mayor of Brisbane, the first and only female to have held this position. She is a UQ Senator, board director of numerous companies, the president of the Council of Women’s College at the University of Queensland and holds honorary doctorates from three universities.

Noosa Council approves new venue in Peregian Village Noosa Council last week approved the development of a two-storey development in Peregian Village that includes an upstairs and downstairs food and drink outlet, facing the village square, and able to open until midnight Friday and Saturday nights. The application was lodged by AG22 Pty Ltd ATF Peregian Beach Shopping Centre Discretionary Trust to redevelop 214 David Low Way, a 271sqm site zoned Local Centre with frontages to the David Low Way – Grebe Street service road and the village square. The applicant proposes to partially retain the existing single storey building and remodel it to retain two shop tenancies, currently operating as retail stores facing

the David Low Way - Grebe St service road, and convert three tenancies into a food and drink outlet. A new upper floor level is proposed for office tenancies and a small food and drink outlet and balcony overlooking the square. In reviewing the application council staff said the proposed uses were consistent with the zoning intent for the site and areas of con-compliance with the planning scheme including car parking, landscape open space and setback, they considered acceptable due to the small area of the site, the existing built form of the area and the provision of an infrastructure agreement to address carparking contributions.

The approval included extended opening hours beyond 10pm for the food and drink outlet to midnight Fridays and Saturdays on condition it not result in environmental nuisances such as noise, visual or odour impacts that unreasonably diminish the amenity of the area or surrounding uses. Any live music must be contained within an enclosed acoustically treated environment. Acoustic live music (not reliant on electric or electronic equipment) must cease to operate in outdoor spaces by 9pm Sunday-Thursday, 10pm Friday and Saturday and amplified live music outdoor must shut down by 7pm every night.

Two retail stores will remain in a two-storey development in Peregian Village.

Noosa Today’s PHIL JARRATT speaks with CABN’s CEO MICHAEL LAMPRELL

‘Patience is critical’ - CEO NT: The new CABN artist renderings make it pretty clear that you’re not going to be building huge hotels in the wilderness. Why haven’t we seen evidence of this until now? Michael Lamprell: It’s never been a case of us not wanting to put designs into the public forum, but these are proposed designs from our architects and by no means final. We still have to talk to Kabi Kabi and other stakeholders to finalise them and there have been several iterations so far. Our business is building cabins that blend into the environment in different shapes and sizes, so from our standpoint it was about not wanting to confuse people. These are still working designs, but I can say categorically that the final design will be created to give the best possible chance of working within the environment. Our intention is to never take up space unnecessarily wherever we operate. That’s just not in line with our key principles. The architects we’ve had on this project from day one, Troppo, are award-winners because they understand the environment and creating minimal impact in their construction. I think that’s reflected in the current renderings. NT: I know you don’t want to feed the flames, but I also know that some of the criticism directed at you over the CABN/Kabi partnership has cut deeply. Does today’s statement better explain your motivation? ML: In reference to cutting me deeply, I have been invested in this process with Kabi Kabi with the best intentions from the outset, for several years now. The work that we’ve been doing tirelessly on country and at roundtable discussions with Kabi and other stakeholders is about what this partnership looks like, how we’re going to get people back on country, working through opportunities for their community in a considered way, right from the construction phase which will be on the Sunshine Coast through to the operational, day-to-day functions, the delivery of the cultural product. We’re putting plans in place to build a platform for future generations to get on country, stay on country and build their own opportunities. So when I see and hear those things you mention, yes of course it’s disappointing at both personal and professional levels, but I’m so clear on our partnership and the reasons we’re doing this that I’m not letting these things distract me from our mission. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and to voice that opinion, but I know the truth. And we’ve also had a lot of support at the local level, which is encouraging. NT: Can you take us through the steps remaining to completion? ML: We have to finalise the designs and infrastructure for each site, and then we go back to both councils, Noosa and Gympie, and at that point we’ll be engaging local planners and other external contractors to help in the process. At the same time we’ll be working closely with the Queensland government. These engagements have been ongoing and I’m confident we’re working towards planning approvals. I

look forward to continuing to work with all of them as we bring this important project to life. NT: Will I be joining you for the launch walk in 2024? ML: Hopefully, but I’d encourage you and anyone else interested in experiencing what this place means to Kabi Kabi to come out with us well before the launch and become advocates for what CABN and Kabi Kabi want to accomplish. NT: What have you learnt through this long and sometimes painful process? ML: The takeaway for me is that when you do something with the right intent and for the right reasons, patience is important. A lot of people have asked me how I’ve stuck at it for so many years now, but when I sit at a table with Kabi Kabi and they tell me about their journey, then I’m embarrassed about my own occasional thinking that this is taking longer than I would have liked. In comparison, there is no comparison. Patience is critical, but it’s also really easy when you know why you’re doing it.

Great Walk back on track? From page 1 CABN chief executive officer Michael Lamprell added: “Over the past four years our focus has been to listen and learn from Kabi Kabi about the importance of sharing their deep knowledge of caring for country, with focus on positive environmental impact as well as their deep, rich culture, we hope this partnership can set a platform for many more opportunities on country for the Kabi Kabi people.” The Kabi Kabi Corporation said that the project would help to provide a culturally safe environment where Kabi Kabi are employed with the opportunity of returning on country and to showcase their traditional land to visitors, and educating everyone on culture, the environment, and Kabi Kabi history. “We are looking forward to creating a remarkable, authentic cultural tourism experi-

ence with CABN, where visitors leave inspired and transformed to promote Cooloola as the preferred and desired eco-tourism destination within the region,” Kabi Kabi Corporation secretary Brian Warner said. “The Cooloola Great Walk ecotourism project represents an important step in creating long term opportunities for our people and our future generations.” Noosa Today understands that the Indigenous participation plan will offer opportunities for Kabi Kabi to work with multiple local businesses as part of the project delivery and operation of the walk. This will include construction, maintenance, food and beverage, logistics and operations. Queensland Tourism Industry Council chief executive officer Brett Fraser welcomed the project.

“It’s great to see new partnerships being formed between First Nations communities and Queensland tourism groups. The collaboration between CABN and the Kabi Kabi people will significantly enhance the Cooloola Great Walk and will help solidify the Sunshine Coast and Fraser Coast regions as a go-to destination for unique cultural experiences.” CABN will now proceed with the detailed design of the campsites and seek further approvals, which is expected to take at least the rest of this year, pushing completion into 2024. But the long-overdue release of at least some information on the project’s future, together with artist renderings of preliminary designs for the glamping sites, will possibly quieten the jungle drums of the one or two environmental groups opposed to it. Possibly not.

YouMatter brings mental wellbeing program for youth For the first time, local not-for-profit organisation, Youturn, will be offering a free eight week youth mental wellbeing program at The J in Noosa for teenagers and young adults (12 – 25 years). Supported by Noosa Council, the YouMatter program offers a relaxed non-clinical environment, free of judgement for young people to talk and connect. Delivered by the accredited counseller Leon Stensholm from Body and Mind by Leon, the program will provide them with tools and strategies to deal with life challenges and stressful situations and cover topics that teens typically struggle with such as motivation, goal setting, bullying, resilience building, dealing with anxiety, exercise and nutrition, self care, mindfulness and gratitude journaling. “The increased demand for mental health support, in particular youth mental health, is a large area of ongoing concern both locally and nationwide. There can be many barriers to accessing mental health services, including long wait times, financial capacity, geographical area, stigma, and apprehension surround-

positive, life-changing programs addressing issues such as declining mental health among young people, through the development and delivery of new programs, such as YouMatter. “The YouMatter program will offer a safe and relaxed social space for young people experiencing similar difficulties to meet and connect, while also receiving ongoing psychoeducation, developing coping skills, receiv-

ing mentoring and counselling support in a non-clinical environment. We received some great feedback from our last program run at Kawana late last year and we believe that this program has the potential to make a positive difference in the lives of young people in the Noosa Shire.“ The YouMatter program kicked off on Tuesday 14 February and will run weekly each Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on age and accommodate eight-12 participants. Keeping the groups small will allow maximum involvement and better relationships between participants and facilitators. There is still time to register - so for more information or if you know someone who will benefit from this program or, contact Leon at leon@bodybyleon.com.au Youturn is a not-for-profit charity based at Tewantin that was started over 30 years ago to help address youth homelessness in the Noosa region. Since then, the organisation has grown substantially working with young people and those that support them, expanding their focus to include child safety, mental health, suicide prevention and homelessness.

Redsix app has your back By Abbey Cannan Reaching out for support has been made easy thanks to an app created by Australian army veteran Michael Handley, who has always got your ’six’. REDSIX has pioneered the action step in the mental health market and has become the most downloaded mental health support app in one of Australia’s highest risk suicide markets, the Australian veteran space since its release. In 2023 they are releasing REDSIX 2.0 and will make reaching out for support even easier for everyone and every industry. “I served just under eight years in the military. I was diagnosed with PTSD and a few other mental health disorders due to my service,“ director and chief executive officer Michael Handley said. “As I left the defence force and transitioned into civilian life, I always maintained an active role within the veteran community. As I progressed within this space, the numbers of suicides, losing their battles within, from 2016, 2017 and 2018, the number went from one or two a month to seven to 10. I looked around and thought, what’s happening in this veteran space and why are we losing so many members? “My research showed me that a lot of the services and support mechanisms available to the veteran community hadn’t evolved or moved with time. We were still relying on techniques we used with the Vietnam veterans. We needed something new and something fast, because we were dealing with the loss of human life.“ He went on to self-fund a support app that allowed users to reach out for early intervention peer to peer support or professional support services at a press of a button. The main function of the app allows users to choose one of four mood settings.

Australian army veteran Michael Handley. The Red mood button immediately alerts your pre-programmed support (mates/ friends) via text message with a link they simply press to engage in conversation. The Black mood button is a direct link to 24/7 professional support services. Chair of the Rotarians 4 Mental Health organising committee, Bob Birkhead from the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads said they wanted to work collaboratively with people like Mike to get the message out about applications that worked. “We’re well aware that the Sunshine Coast is somewhere between 15 and 20 per cent above the national average in terms of the level of suicides,“ Bob said. “While a lot of our work has been through the awareness campaign Don’t Bottle it Up, we recognise that we need to move more towards what can be done in an action sense to create opportunities for people to find pathways. “What really excites me about this particular app, is that Mike plans to take it to everyone. I’m just so impressed with what he’s doing and this is an app that will be dynamically

It’s something that we’re all at risk of. Six is a term that we use in the military and the emergency services as a direction. Basically when we’re moving around, patrolling, we use a clock face as a guide for direction. If we’re all patrolling towards 12 o’clock, someone will always ask ’Who’s got my 6?’ Which basically means who’s got my back. I thought that really reiterated the whole support mechanism of what Redsix is about. We’ve always got your back.“ Michael said he’s been approached by people all over the world wanting access to this app. “The direction we’re going now, any organisation or business can download the app and run it in-house,“ he said. “They can then be proactive in providing support to that employee.“ The statistics around mental health at the

moment are alarming and it’s only going to get worse. “So we really need to focus on action now, not just awareness,“ Michael said. “We’ve toyed around with this for too long now and we really need to inject some funding into initiatives that actually make it easier for those who do need support.“ REDSIX has pioneered this process without any funding. “This is a marathon, not a sprint, and eventually we will start to attract the sponsorship and funding that we need to take this even further and get it out to more people. That’s the journey that we’re currently on. “We are actively looking for sponsorship and partnership opportunities from industries passionate about mental health support to our community and would welcome any discussion on supporting REDSIX making this mental health resource available to everyone in 2023,“ Michael said.

Learning to build with cob Permaculture Noosa is offering residents and visitors with a bent for building sustainably an opportunity to participate in a series of community cob workshops. Participants will learn how to build with cob, a natural building material that is made of clay, sand, straw, and water and has been used for thousands of years to construct homes, buildings, and a variety of other structures, while playing an active role in helping finish the walls of Permaculture Noosa’s brand-new council-funded Pavillion Project. The goal for this project, which is taking shape at Cooroy Community Garden, is to provide a place where people can meet, work and share the gardens, pick crops, cook and prepare food in the pavilion, and then leave with seedlings for their own gardens. The vision is to create a hub for building climate change resilience, promoting education and awareness and encouraging community cohesion through the joy of gardening. It is designed to accommodate all age groups and activities with a focus on inclusion for the elderly and gardeners who live with a disability. The community cob wall workshop offers a hands-on and immersive experience, where you’ll be taught by experts how to build a cob wall from scratch. Learn the basics of sustainable building design and cob theory and walk away with a skill that you can put into practice in your own homes and businesses immediately. Whether you are a creative who wants to build a wood-fire pizza oven or a garden wall at home, or you are an experienced builder who is interested in expanding your work into natural building, this workshop is for you. Three experts in cob and other natural building techniques will run the full-day workshops. Brett Grimley is the owner and principal building designer of Ecolibrium Design, which he established in 2006. With a passion for na-

Jodie Land is a mother of four young adult children, an aged and palliative care social worker, and has a passion for natural building, our natural world, writing, gardening, fermenting, sharing knowledge and encouraging connections. Jodie owner-built a Sunshine Coast Council approved, hybrid-cob home in Maleny. With hands and feet in the mud, she was hooked. With her passion for connecting with others, sharing story and cob knowledge, Jodie is excited to be collaborating with the Noosa Permaculture cob build in Cooroy. Elena Moctezuma is co-founder of Nativo Designs (2022) and architecture designer for Hempblock Australia. She has a Bachelor of Architecture (UASLP Mexico 2015), and a Master of Architecture majoring in Sustainability and Social Agency (UQ EAIT 2019). Elena is pas-

Additional workshops will be added to the program soon.

All residents and visitors are invited to register at one of the 18 sites across Noosa.

The Noosa community is encouraged to take part in Clean-Up Australia Day on Sunday 5 March.

Step up for NICA Clean Up Clean-Up Australia Day is Sunday 5 March this year and once again the whole of the Noosa community is encouraged to help remove any litter and rubbish from our parks and streets, waterways, wetlands and along the foreshores and beaches of our beautiful region. The national CUAD event has been coordinated locally for many years by community group, Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA). This year NICA volunteer Joe Jurisevic has organised 18 registration and collection sites across the Noosa region, including six in the hinterland, three along the eastern beaches and nine around the lower Noosa River and lakes.

Between 8am and 11am on 5 March, all residents and visitors are invited to register at one of the 18 sites, search and collect for rubbish in the vicinity, and return it to the sign-on point for proper disposal. Gloves and collecting sacks are provided. The extra river sites have been selected after the Noosa Wetlands survey NICA made last year showed degraded areas of the foreshore and shallows where rubbish and debris can accumulate. Besides rubbish collectors walking along the estuary foreshores, NICA is hoping for a flotilla of kayaks and small boats to register at one of the boat ramp sites and join the RiverWatch crew out on the water.

All who register for CUAD go in the draw for prizes from major sponsors Sofitel Hotels and Resorts and Peppers Resort and Villas, and everyone is welcome to join in a post Clean Up barbecue hosted by Noosa Lions Club at Lions Park on the riverside. Cleanaway and Allcott Hire are onboard once again to assist with the removal of all rubbish collected. NICA president Angela van Boxtel emphasised the value of the annual clean up event to the Noosa environment and community. “On that day, we can all get out and about in our special local places and help to keep them free of damaging rubbish materials,“ Angela said.

“Every piece of litter can smother part of the natural environment, contaminate the soil, vegetation or an aquatic habitat. “Every piece of litter removed improves the natural environment on which our diverse local wildlife depends. “This year we are encouraging greater efforts to clean-up and start to restore natural sites which are damaged and neglected. “This is a key part of catchment management to which everyone can make a contribution, so please step up or paddle up with your friends and families to Clean Up Noosa on 5 March.” You can find the list of sites on NICA’s website at noosariver.com.au/clean-up-australiaday-in-noosa/

Concerted effort required to conserve shallow estuary Noosa Today caught up recently with Peter Hunnam, lead author of last year’s report on the state of Noosa River Estuary in the lead up to Clean Up Australia Day. The assessment report - available on the NICA web site - provided a fresh perspective on the ecology, use and over-use of the lower Noosa River. It highlighted the extent of pressures caused by urban development closely around its margins, notably all the stormwater drains, road reserves, urban parks, jetties and private properties that impact directly on the foreshore and riparian wetlands. When asked what progress he thought had been made towards implementing the report’s recommendations, Peter said that he was hopeful but not overly optimistic. “The Estuary - Pressures Assessment was presented last year to Noosa Council and to Council’s community reference group for improving Noosa River management (NRSAC). The report was well received by council staff and NRSAC Members but no clear road map has been developed for tackling any of the river or foreshore management issues raised

ment need to work with those responsible for managing the large amounts of infrastructure developed on the shore and closely around the estuary,” he said. “There is some talk about increasing foreshore reserves, but I consider this as more of a distraction, really a no-brainer. Far more important is to reduce the amount of infra-

structure and development on the shore and across the littoral and riparian zones. This means removal or re-design and conversion of the many built structures, making them “Low Impact”. There are too many roads, parking areas, jetties, ramps, concrete drains, sewer lines and buildings that do too much ecological damage. We need to stop hardening and sterilising all along the marginal wetlands, and systematically restore and regain more ecologically healthy and attractive foreshore.” Peter was encouraged that this year’s Clean Up Australia Day coordinated by NICA is organising an extra focus on Cleaning Up the River, making use of the Estuary - Pressures Assessment to identify sites where ecological damage and associated rubbish accumulate. And he was also hopeful that NICA and council would soon be working together on a pilot and demonstration project to develop a series of Living Foreshores, looking at effective ways of re-purposing degraded sections to enhance their ecological functions and control the impacts of adjacent urban development.

Hoopers reunite in Noosa The Hooper family reunited on Saturday to renew ties and reflect on a family history in Tewantin which began in Cornwall, England with a downturn in copper and tin mining. Cornwall miner William Henry Hooper married Mary Ann Parkyn whose father, John Parkyn, worked in a nearby mine. In 1888 both the Hooper and Parkyn families left Cornwall headed for the promise of riches in the gold mines of Gympie where William Henry was appointed mining captain at Gympie’s Eastern South Mine. He also took on a dairy farm at Deep Creek, Gympie where his son, also William, began his teacher training and married Beatrice Anne Rowe. The couple moved to Tewantin where William took up the position of head teacher at the state school from 1921 to 1952, a remnant of about 500 pine trees (Pinus Taeda and Pinus Ellioti) he planted from 1937-1939 around the school border stands as a legacy which can still be seen from Poinciana Avenue. The couple had six children, William Henry, Eunice, James, Vivian and Harold, born at Reid Creek where his father had been a teacher, and the youngest, Ronald (who was killed in a plane crash in 1942 at the age of 19 while training to be a pilot), born in Tewantin. William’s granddaughter Lynnette Cameron (William Henry’s daughter), has researched her family’s history, organised last weekend’s reunion and recalled the golden days of the era. As head teacher William immersed himself in community activities. “We know that he was, in one year, Cock of the Walk at the local bowls club. We believe he helped the Parkyn family to set up their boat hire business at Parkyn’s jetty, and that he also helped the Donovan family to establish their transport business,“ Lynnette said. “We know that for some years grandad owned the Jannett, an historic river boat. It was designed and built by Norman Wright (about 1911) for the manager of the Gympie

Gold Mines, Major Reid, who named the boat after his wife.“ Moored at Parkyn’s jetty, the Jannett was readied for trips on the river for visiting dignitaries and used to transport clergy to Halse Lodge, so the family story goes. The Jannett has since changed hands. Lynnette last saw the river boat moored at the Massoud jetty, but it has since disappeared and she fears for its future.

“The Jannett had been a part of the magic of our time here,“ she said. “We must have spent days out on the boat up the Everglades.“ Lynnette has fond memories of time spent with her grandparents in the school house (which has since been demolished) and then after her grandfather’s retirement at the green house he built in Werin Street. “We must have spent hours playing in the

pine forests in the school grounds. On the far side, away from the main road, there was an air raid shelter. I have a clear memory of having to race to that trench one day, peering up and seeing two or three toy-sized planes, black against the sun - Japanese planes. “I remember riding in the school yard sitting behind my older brother Peter as we plodded along on the wide back of the steady, patient horse named Dobbin,“ she said.

Hooper’s reunion at Tewantin. “My strongest memories of holidays spent in the Werin Street green house above the lake are connected to our time spent playing in the very shallow waters of Lake Doonella. “Peter, younger brother Ron, maybe baby Carol and I, and whichever cousins were around, would spend hours down the steep slope to the lake, balancing along the boards across the mud to the water and playing in and out of the float bottomed net boat sitting against the shore. “It was safe for us to walk without adult supervision from Werin Street to the river near Parkyn’s jetty. The whole town watched over us. The river was our playground for swimming, fishing and annoying soldier crabs. There were vast armies of these comical creatures in spots along the riverbank. Now there are none. “We loved going to Noosa Heads. The parking lot next to the surf clubhouse was then a big sand hill which we would scramble up and roll down the other side. “Across the road was a long guesthouse, Laguna House.

As part of the program there would be a Beach Beauty competition where shapely young ladies would parade in their demure swimsuits. For the children there was a sand castle building competition. It took place on the beach where the Sandcastle resort now stands. “Another Noosa Heads attraction was the camping ground at the end of Hastings Street. At Christmas it was always packed with real canvas tents. “It seemed much more romantic than staying in a solid house. “They were wonderful days.“ Lynnette’s grandfather William Hooper died in 1956 only four years after his retirement and following a severe stroke. Her grandmother, Beatrice, passed away just a few months later. Lynette and her husband John returned to Noosa to live a few years ago and at the family’s first reunion were joined by a group of siblings, cousins, partners and their children and grandchildren who travelled from across the state and interstate for the event.

Fire for land management By Margie Maccoll When European settlers arrived in Australia they would have seen a landscape like that of a country estate, with well defined areas of grasslands, trees, forests and deserts, organised by the traditional custodians and managed though the use of fire, Di Collier told guests at Noosa Parks Association Friday Forum this month. 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. She spoke 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’s first successful ecological burn was a cool burn conducted downhill with an outcome that “couldn’t have been better“ leaving the understorey scorched. The second burn, a few weeks later, took more understorey. Four years on, the understorey has returned with an increase in native grasses, seeds that have laid dormant in the ground for more than 14 years have come alive and there are more herbaceous scrubs, she said. Other species affected by dieback have sprung back to life. Initially fearful of fire in the landscape, Di now loves fire. “Fire has been the icing on the cake of managing my property and rehabilitating it,“ she said. About 18 months ago Di joined four neighbouring landowners, all Land for Wildlife members whose properties together comprise about 600 acres, to organise ecological burns. The process was well planned, involving workshops, the creation of fire management plans, fire hazard maps, weather forecasts, identification of fire trails, fire breaks and

emergency exits and consultation with fire services. Di said burns have to be the right burn for the intended purpose and dependent on a number of factors including use of the land, soil type, rainfall, seasonal indicators and the time since the last fire. Her use of fire has changed the way Di views the landscape and made her feel more connected and responsive to it. Looking at the land historically, she said First Nations people managed the country as you would an estate, but using fire. It had healthy grasslands to lure kangaroos, making them easy prey. Hills and slopes with lines of trees. It was nothing like the national parks today. Di said the mosaic landscape as well as frequent burning of areas by Aboriginals was noted in Captain Cook’s journal and evident in early landscape paintings. Di now sees bushland with dense undergrowth as a landscape that has been badly managed due to ignorance and neglect. Forest thickening is an indication of a sick country, she said. “There are many more trees now than at settlement,“ she said. “There’s far more fuel for wild fire than reasonable, fire that gallops up to the canopy.“ Di said her knowledge had resulted from being in one place for one time but there was a vast body of knowledge available from traditional owners, academics and organisations which was vital to share in future management. . “We need to observe and listen before we take action,“ she said. “We need to change the way we think and see, change our colonial aesthetic,“ she said. “There was no wilderness until the Europeans came. Aboriginals shaped Australia. Can we say we are managing our country?“

SYDNEY WORLDPRIDE OPENING CONCERT ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm

Uniting with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, this year the Harbour City is hosting WorldPride – spotlighting the LGBTQIA+ communities of the Asia-Pacific region. It’s the first time a city in the southern hemisphere has been chosen to host the festival, which runs until March 5 and includes the Mardi Gras events, as well as offerings across arts, sport, theatre, concerts, First Nations programming and a human rights conference. Tune in as Kylie Minogue, Jessica Mauboy and Charli XCX take the stage. Hosted by Casey Donovan (pictured) and Courtney Act.

After a well-earned break since stepping down as the host of 7.30, Leigh Sales (pictured) returns to our screens to anchor a new season of Australian Story, which is back to tell more fascinating and inspiring stories about everyday Australians. Tonight, inventor, author, scientist and changemaker Saul Griffiths shares his vision and contagious passion for renewable future energy in Australia. Also this year, the series goes behind the scenes with actor and producer Claudia Karvan (Bump, Love My Way) and takes a deep dive into the incredible story of underwater filmmaker and shark advocate Valerie Taylor.

QUEERSTRALIA ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Across the ditch in picturesque New Zealand, chef Ben Bayly (pictured) had a realisation: as an acclaimed foodie cooking mostly European fare, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what Kiwi food was all about. This new series trails Bayly across breathtaking New Zealand landscapes after he throws the towel in on his role as executive chef at two of his country’s best restaurants to create an eatery that tries answer the question: what is the New Zealand food story? In tonight’s double-episode premiere, Bayly travels to the South Island to learn about koura crayfish and Colac Bay to get to know the Titi mutton bird.

Comedian and “professional lesbian” Zoë Coombs Marr (pictured) uncovers the hidden history of Australia’s LGBTQIA+ community in this landmark docuseries. From gay diggers, lesbian convict gangs and trans pioneers to cross-dressing bushrangers, legendary drag acts and modern-day heroes who have fought for acceptance, the three-part series is an enlightening examination of the community’s past. Performers Hannah Gadsby and Magda Szubanski are among those who share their insights. Asked why she wanted to make the series, Coombs Marr explains: “It’s about finding where you fit and where you’ve come from.”

Sustainability The Noosa Festival of Surfing is one of the leading major events in Australia when it comes to environmental and sustainability initiatives. Our efforts are assessed under the Tourism Noosa Sustainable Event Criteria which aligns itself with GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria) and managed by our Sustainability Officer. All key stakeholders and especially our sponsors are chosen and choose to go out of their way to protect an environment that gives us, as surfers so much in return. But none of this could be achieved without the incredible efforts of our Waste Warrior Volunteers who single-handedly ensure our waste is minimised and diverted from landfill to the max every day of our festival. In 2019, World Surfaris Pty Ltd and The Noosa Malibu Club started recording and reducing their event carbon emissions. By 2021, with the support of SeaTrees we offset over 100% of the carbon emissions produced as a result of the 10-day event.

SURFERS FOR CLIMATE IS A SEA-ROOTS MOVEMENT DEDICATED TO POSITIVE CLIMATE ACTION.

Our benchmarks in energy, water and waste have paved the way for other major events around Queensland and Australia to follow. We acknowledge the work of Noosa Council in its efforts to monitor and require sustainability management in all event applications to ensure minimal footprints of events in this pristine area and to Plastic Free Noosa’s continued efforts to ban single use water bottles and plastics at events.

Festival of Surfing Phil Jarratt

Headland perform in front of surfing archive footage.

Headland founder Murray Paterson.

View from the Headland Giving up work to become a mature age stayat-home dad had unexpected consequences for musician, academic and surfer Murray Paterson, as Noosa is about to discover. Back in 2010, Murray, from the creative heartland of the NSW Northern Rivers, was a part-time rock star, touring with Tex Perkins in their band Dark Horses, and a full-time teacher of contemporary art theory at a university, when the birth of his second son inspired him to pack it all in and take over home duties from wife Betty. He recalls: “I was pretty busy at home with two young kids but I found myself with some creative energy that I needed to expend. People had been telling me I should do a solo album, but this was just when streaming services like Spotify were making a mark, and there was so much music in the world that I realised I didn’t have anything new or interesting to say.” With nothing to say and recording studio time already booked, fate intervened when his friend and surfboard shaper Simon Jones from Morning of The Earth Surfboards asked him if he could use a song that Murray and Tex Perkins had written behind some surfing footage on his new website. Publishing rights got in the way of that, so Murray said he’d create a new song. He says: “I had some old surfing footage of Lennox Head in a shoebox under my bed so I went into the studio with a bunch of friends and we projected this old surf footage on the back wall and played to it, and that’s how the song came out for Simon’s website. “It worked so well as a creative device in the studio, with the musicians responding not just to the cultural aspects of it but to the fabric of the old film, its grainy, flickering quality, I suddenly thought, let’s keep doing this! “I only had a few reels of film, went around to all my mates scavenging their Super-8 from the ‘70s, stuff recorded by girlfriends sitting on the headland and all kinds of wonderful stuff, so we just played it and made music. “That’s how Headland was born.” The band known as Headland brought out that first collection of improvised surfing soundtrack on vinyl, and while it made little impact in Australia, it was a hit in the UK. Says Murray: “In England the record shops were a bit more advanced than here and they could play my digitised film on a monitor and people just fell in love with the whole concept. UK sales made the record company sign us up to do more. Unheard of these days!” In the audience at one of Headland’s early Sydney gigs was a young filmmaker named Jolyon Hoff, whose recently-completed surfing documentary Searching For Michael Peterson had alerted him to the secret vaults of unknown surfing footage collected in basements and garages right around the Australian coastline, just the sort of stuff that brought Headland’s music to life. 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 February, 2023

Headland perform in front of surfing archive footage. He introduced himself to Murray and the band and soon became a card-carrying member of the broad church of the Headland family. Jolyon says: “I was astounded at the amount of unseen footage I came across while researching the MP film: whole rolls lost to the cutting room floor, or footage unused because of a slight flaw, stored away as the march of technology made old formats redundant. “When the pandemic started I decided to act on an old desire, creating the Surf Film Archive to save all that lost and forgotten footage before it turned to dust.” However, rather than just create a bank of restored images, the filmmaker saw potential in all that footage that brought him back to Headland. “I love seeing the towns and places that I know very well,” says Jolyon. “They’ve changed so dramatically, Byron, Noosa, many of those coastal towns. I love seeing the old fashions and the cars and the roads that have changed so much. And, of course, I enjoy the fact that the waves are exactly the same! “Everything has changed, but the ocean itself, the waves, they’re the same as they always were.” Between sourcing, saving, and digitising the old footage presented to him — now well over 100 hours’ worth — Jolyon has been whittling down the very best sections, arranging it

into a running order, and collaborating with old mate Murray on how best to present it. The end result is a film with no narration or dialogue, which turns on a mix of Jolyon’s sequencing and Murray’s music. One pre-programmed, the other played live. As Murray says, what Headland does with surf film is not unique or new. In the 1950s, American pioneer surf filmmaker Bruce Brown experimented with getting a few jazz musicians together to jam to his footage, before settling on Dave Brubeck’s proven catalogue. In the 1960s, filmmaker Paul Witzig locked supergroup Tamam Shud in a garage at Sydney’s Palm Beach while he projected his rushes on a bed sheet screen and they improvised the soundtrack for Evolution. A generation later, members of the Shud would play their soundtrack songs live in front of the remastered Morning Of The Earth. But the collaboration of the Surf Film Archive and Headland that will be presented at The J on 11 March during the Noosa Festival of Surfing takes the concept next level. Murray says: “What we’ll present in Noosa is like the original Headland film and live music performances on steroids, doing the same thing we did back then but with these brilliantly restored historic surf films. The spirit is still the same but on a larger scale, and some of the footage just blows your mind. Like Phil Sheppard’s Hawaii footage of Owl Chapman at

Picture: SUPPLIED Pipe, and Dick Hoole’s early stuff from Indonesia with Gerry Lopez.” To help blow minds, Murray has gathered an eclectic band of Headland stalwarts and special guests as part of an eight-piece ensemble coming together for just the Noosa gig. In addition to himself as guitarist and multiinstrumentalist, Murray will be joined by partner Betty Paterson on vocals and percussion, Cruel Sea bassist Kenny Gormly, Noosa-born drummer Brock Fitzgerald, best known as part of Wolf and Cub, guitarist Christian Pyle from Acre, Cye Wood from Black Rainbow on violin, Headland regular Les Dorahy on synthesizer and accordion, and, perhaps the most eclectic player in the lineup, Melissa Hunt on double bass and clarinet. Melissa is mostly famous for Toydeath, a band that rewired kids’ musical toys and made music with them. The two-hour Surf Film Archive + Headland show will open with a short film from the Lost Track series, filmed by Ishka Folkwell and featuring surfer Torren Martyn, with soundtrack by Headland, followed by an archive chat show with some of the pioneers, and Headland playing live to a tribute reel of unseen gems from early filmmakers like Paul Witzig, Bob Evans and Dick Hoole. A night not to be missed. Saturday 11 March, 8-10pm at The J. Tickets $35, concession $25, available at thej.com.au/the-surffilm-archive/

A wave of surf innovation Since the Noosa Malibu Classic morphed into the Noosa Festival of Surfing in 1998, it has hosted a quarter century of mould-breaking innovative surfing events which have kept competing surfers and excited spectators mesmerised. The first of these, which clicked in for the festival’s debut year, was the Champion of Champions, in which invited world champions in both longboard and shortboard disciplines competed on both short and long boards during the same heat, often with surprising and hilarious results, as shortboard heroes discovered that longboarding wasn’t as easy as they thought it looked, and vice versa. The following year, 1999, saw tandem surfing go pro, with an invitational world championship, and the introduction of the Golden Breed Noserider Pro, in which competitors were timed while riding the board with both feet in front of a line of tape 60 cm from the nose – single second count for hanging five, double for hanging 10. Although the event was loosely based on a time trial format used in the 1960s, it was the first time it had been seen in Australia, and advances in longboard design meant that the world’s best noseriders were able to clock some amazing times. The big money Golden Breed Noserider, sponsored by a retro surf brand making a comeback, attracted huge crowds to watch the tip time battles between the likes of California’s Christian Wach and Noosa’s Jai Lee, with future world champion Harrison Roach also joining in as a young teenager. The Noserider never got tired, and not surprisingly, given its broad appeal, it’s back in 2023 after a long sabbatical, with original sponsor Golden Breed once again taking naming rights to celebrate the opening of a new Noosa flagship store. The Noosa Festival was the first to introduce an alaia division for the wooden finless boards created by master shaper (and now Councillor) Tom Wegener and others. The amazing antics of the alaia riders as they flew free on the face at vast speed was another crowd-pleaser, and it later fed into a highly experimental event called the Jeep Challenge. For the Challenge, first held in 2014, a dozen of the best all-round watermen in the world jumped into a fleet of Jeep 4WDs for the run up Teewah Beach to Double Island Point, where they had to perform in four surfing disciplines in one day – longboard, shortboard, alaia and body-surfing. It was an incredible display of all-round surfing prowess, played out for the cameras. Without doubt, however, the most popular and enduring innovation saw surfers playing second fiddle to their dogs. The Vetshop Surfing Dogs, always a feature of opening day at the festival, attracted the biggest crowds ever seen on the beach, as dog-lovers waded into the shallows to cheer on their favourite canine. It’s still going, and will be a feature of opening day this year. The tradition of innovation continues at the

Also on the retro theme, the popular pre1985 twin fin event returns, alongside the revered Old Mal, in which pre-1968 longboards must be ridden. Something for everyone at the 2023 NFS – pray for surf!

No one draws a crowd like the surfing dogs.

Jewel in Katie Rose Top shorts special fundraiser A fundraising lottery for a very special cause will be launched by Mayor Clare Stewart at Noosa Civic Shopping Centre on Monday 6 March. Long-term Noosa family business Priest Jewellers will be announcing the launch of lottery ticket sales to win a stunning piece of jewellery, custom-designed by owner Eliahi Priest in memory of his wife Kristy-Elle, who spent her last days at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. “Being at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice was the best option for Kristy-Elle as Katie Rose is just like a lovely home. It is non-invasive for people at the end of life,” Mr Priest said. “As a business in the community and as a family in the community we wanted to help the team at Katie Rose and what it does.” Katie Rose spokesperson Leigh McCready said, “Katie Rose Cottage Hospice is a unique facility in Australia, it is the only cottage-style hospice which is not assisted by funds from a church or part of a hospital.” “We are primarily funded by the community, as only 20 per cent of our nursing costs are covered by the Queensland Government. “The 80 per cent gap is covered by wonderful Noosa and broader Sunshine Coast community members, who recognise that having Katie Rose Cottage makes us a better, stronger, more caring place to live. “Not everyone knows that our palliative care service is provided at no cost to the guests and families who stay with us, which means we rely on the generosity and support of our local businesses and community to deliver our service.

Orlebar Brown has introduced an original design for the Bulldog swim short designed to celebrate the sun, sea, sand and natural beauty of Noosa. This exclusive swim short features an iconic aerial photo of Noosa, which has been adapted to fit the many tailored elements of an Orlebar Brown Bulldog swim short. Dave Wilcock is a photographer and artist based in Noosa and focuses on aerial photography projects that capture the essence of a location which can only be seen from the unique perspective of the sky. Dave’s goal is to share the beauty that he gets to witness everyday with the whole world. The resulting garment embodies the simplicity and natural allure of one of Australia’s best-loved holiday destinations. Australia has been a natural home for Orlebar Brown, sharing values of sunshine, travel and good times. Releasing this exclusive design of the classic swim short continues their commitment to the Australian market, supporting stores in Bondi, Bondi Junction, Chadstone, Noosa and now open in Sydney CBD, Martin Place. The Noosa exclusive swim shorts are available in Orlebar Brown stores.

Noosa Civic’s Melanie Noble, Eliahi Priest and Leigh McCready from Katie Rose Cottage Hospice with the Kristy-Elle heirloom bracelet. “Priest Jewellers has been a long-term supporter of the work we do. They came to us with the idea of creating a unique piece of jewellery called the Kristy-Elle Heirloom bracelet, which has a written valuation of $35,000. There will only be 5000 tickets sold, starting on 6 March.

“The bracelet is a stunning combination of diamonds, pink tourmaline, rose quartz and amethyst nestled in 18-carat white gold. Ticket buyers will be able to view the bracelet at Priest Jewellers from 6 March until 8 June. The winner will be drawn on 10 June at the annual Katie Rose Cottage Forget-me-not Gala.”

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS Often overlooked, principals are the glue holding the entire school community together, supporting and guiding teachers and staff, and setting the tone for productive learning environments. A core memory for most adults is their principal giving inspirational speeches at assembly, after telling the students they can sing a more enthusiastic ‘Good morning’ back to them like a choir.

Jeanette Martin

My core memory at Bribie Island State High School is a Year 12 boy getting kicked out of assembly for screaming the ‘Good morning’ back at our principal at a ridiculous volume.

As a passionate member of the Noosa Christian College community, I have been a part of the team since the school’s establishment in 2003. Over the years, I have held various roles, including my current role as principal since 2016. Before coming to Noosa Christian College, I spent 18 years working in the Department of Education. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, I am excited to see the plans for our upcoming celebrations.

That same principal who would give us the ‘ticket out the door for the day’ was Brett Burgess, who went on to become the principal at Noosa District State High School. We remember these leaders for the rest of our lives; and it’s time to introduce a few new faces to the community.

The college is situated on a 28-acre village green campus that includes Cooroy Creek and natural habitats. At Noosa Christian College, we are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and collaborative culture that is based on Christian values. Our values, which include compassion, service, integrity, respect, responsibility, and effort, are integral to our ethos and guide our interactions within the college and the wider community. Our mission is to foster meaningful relationships with our students and provide a holistic education that develops character, values, and life skills.

In 2023, the Noosa Shire has some new and already well-known principals ready to lead a combination of primary and secondary; state, private and alternative schools in the area. The community is ready to get to know Jeanette Martin from Noosa Christian College in Cooroy; AC Prinsloo from Victory College - Aralluen in Gympie; Stacy Wilmore from Noosa District State High School in Cooroy; Rob Jennings from Tewantin State School; Sam Anderson from St Teresas Catholic College in Noosaville; Joel Rioux from Noosa Montessori in Sunshine Beach; and Francis Klugman from Noosa Pengari Steiner School in Doonan.

If you are interested in learning more about Noosa Christian College, I invite you to visit our website at www.noosacc.qld.edu.au or to schedule a tour of our campus.

Remember to take the time to welcome and thank the educational leaders of your school. - Abbey Cannan

Rob Jennings

My name is Joël Rioux. I have extensive experience as a Montessori teacher and in the tertiary sector, in the NT with Indigenous pre-service teachers. The word Education derives from Latin meaning “to pull out from within”. Montessori education promotes a humanistic approach based on the social reformist Maria Montessori. This means Following the Child as we look, listen and learn together. Serving the child, educating the whole child and following the individual development are critical for a Montessori school. “Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think” (Albert Einstein). Thinking is at the junction between Montessori and STEM. STEM is about following the scientific method and children’s interest as well as preparing them for the future! My hope for the school is that the ACARA approved Montessori Curriculum and STEM be both seen as a vehicle for creativity. Montessori means teachers’ high expectations, relevancy in today’s world, and pedagogical vulnerability when working scientifically so to allow children’s imagination, intuition, and passion to mingle and talk to each other.

Sam Anderson

Francis Klugman

In what he describes as a full-circle moment, Sam Anderson has returned to St Teresa’s Catholic College, Noosaville as the new College Principal.

Francis Klugman has been Principal of Noosa Pengari Steiner School for over five years and prior to this he was a teacher and then worked as a Business Manager at Little Yarra Steiner School & Birali Steiner School.

Sam previously worked at the College as the Middle Leader responsible for Senior Curriculum and Acting Assistant Principal of Curriculum.

Francis and his family moved to the Noosa hinterland in 2016 to continue his children’s Steiner education at Noosa Pengari whilst enjoying the beautiful weather and surfing conditions on the Sunshine Coast.

“For me, this appointment feels like coming home,” he said. “I have a deep connection to the College, and I am enjoying reconnecting and making a difference to students and College community.”

During his time at Noosa Pengari he has overseen a time of substantial growth within the school. The resourcing and development of the high school has been a substantial focus during this period of time and as a small school, we are immensely proud to be offering a range of subjects in the senior secondary programme, as well as a comprehensive Steiner/Waldorf curriculum from Kindergarten to Class 12.

“The College sits in an enviable position, with excellent teaching and learning, wellbeing and faith programs for students. I am excited to build upon this great work and lead the direction of the school as part of an already strong and established team.” When speaking about his passion for education he said, “every child has natural next steps.”

Through the Certificate of Steiner Education (CSE), our Class 12 students graduate with a qualification that is recognised as the equivalent of the QCE. With a strong core element and substantial elective offering, the CSE also includes an independent Class 12 project of the student’s choosing.

“I look forward to getting to know my students well and work out where they want to go with their schooling,” he said.

“As a leader I am very interactive with my students, and I can’t wait to connect with them, and stretch them in their learning.” Sam will be at the College Open Day on Sunday March 19, 2-4pm and would love to meet interested families.

The Noosa Community has a special place in my heart and my moral purpose as a leader is to support the success of our entire school community, and make a positive difference in students’ lives. I have worked in Education for 22 Years in a range of Secondary Schools, and became the Principal of Noosa High in 2022. I am privileged to have this role, passionate about the incredible opportunities our school provides to students; and proud of the excellent staff and students that make us who we are at Noosa District State High School. Make sure you join us on our next Principal tour, where you are able to visit our school to see how wonderful it is for yourself.

In addition to the resourcing of this unique curriculum, and significant increases in teacher capability across the high school, there has been a strong focus on improving buildings and facilities to compliment the curriculum. With a newly approved masterplan in hand, Noosa Pengari is now beginning construction of a new art room, staff room and sports precinct for the high school, in addition to the music building project completed in 2021.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Too many visitors It is time to face the fact that Noosa is being overrun by visitors. The quality of life for residents has been deteriorating for several years and something needs to change. This problem is not limited to peak visitor times like Christmas and Easter, but increasingly at other times of the year, even just some weekends when the weather is nice. Locals, many of them ratepayers and voters are locked out from enjoying the very things we live here for by throngs of visitors who are frequently pushy and rude. Additionally, there are real costs associated with all the visitors ratepayers are forced to pay for. It is a double whammy of being crowded out of the very things we love and then getting stuck with the bill for it all. I don’t know anyone living here who thinks we need more visitors. Here are a few ideas that might help solve this problem. The first thing to do is to stop promoting Noosa as a tourist destination. Mission accomplished. The word is out about Noosa. Council and other government funded subsidiaries to Tourism Noosa and all other organisations who try to attract more visitors are no longer needed and should be terminated ASAP. To reduce the burden and cost of too many visitors, we could consider adding a bit of friction to the visitor experience. This can be accomplished by increasing visitor costs. Other locations worldwide do this successfully, so there is no reason Noosa can’t successfully handle this task. Noosa could charge for parking in high traffic areas. If expensive enough, it would limit the number of vehicles entering the high traffic areas. Post signage on parking fees and free buses around town so visitors are aware it will cost them to park on Hastings Street. Maybe they will take the bus instead of drive. Byron Bay has been charging for parking for many years. When in Brisbane recently for a 60 minute park to visit a government office, the charge was $30. Noosa could charge $30 per hour for parking in all parking spots close to the beach and Hastings Street just like Brisbane does. Permits (a sticker for your car?) and free bus passes for residents and local employees can be issued at no cost to provide free parking. Parking four hours for $240 might be a good incentive for visitors to take the bus. It certainly will not reduce bus ridership. Another thing Noosa could do is to introduce a visitor head tax. In the town I used to live in, there was a 12 per cent accommodation head tax. Every hotel room, resort room, bed and breakfast and short stay accommodation paid this tax. It was passed on to their customers just like the GST tax is now. This tax would be in addition to the GST with the revenues going to the Noosa Council. Noosa could start to reduce the number of short term accommodations (STA) over time. Council has already done a good job setting limitations on the number of new STAs. Maybe limiting renewals to an overall lower number in residential precincts would be a good way to do this. Increase the fee to obtain a STA permit to a very high level. Force STAs to adhere to the same standards that any hotel or resort is required to adhere to. Whatever is done, we clearly do not need so many STAs.

LENSCAPE

Marlis Newman captured this image recently of a flowering magnolia in her Sunshine Beach garden. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au Last, Noosa could reduce the number of special events, or shorten the duration of the longer events. Several events block the streets and significantly reduce the very limited number of car parks for days at a time right when we need all the car parks we have. Sometimes residents are blocked coming and going from their homes for unreasonable periods of time. We no longer need these events to attract visitors, so a reduction to a more reasonable level is something that should be considered. This tax, parking and other revenue raised by these initiatives can be used by council to offset the significant expense visitors put on ratepayers. Enforcement for parking and other violations like overnight stays in the National Park can be paid for by the new revenues. Fines for violations should be set as high as possible and need strict enforcement. The visitors coming to Noosa should be the ones paying for visitor associated costs and bad visitor behavior, not the local ratepayer. Most residents hope council will consider doing something about this problem. It is more than an annoyance. It is becoming steadily worse and if nothing is done, our town will no longer be recognizable by those who live here. Scott Thorson, Noosaville

Share houses Mayor Clare is to be commended for her proactive approach to keeping homes available for long term rental rather than going into the

short stay pool and contacting owners accordingly ... good luck. Perhaps a look at a system used in Scandinavian countries whereby people with rooms vacant, probably older single people, of which there are many in Noosa, in exchange for a reduction in council rates take in boarders, long or short term, who provide company and perhaps some assistance to the owner. This perhaps could alleviate some of the chronic shortage of accommodation for workers needed to work in Noosa.... M.Hill, Noosa

the same spot for 11 days. I also like to go to one particular takeaway shop on corner of Quamby Place to buy lunch, but at holiday times I cannot get a parking spot near, so don’t go. The lack of available parking spots must affect all of the businesses on that corner. The previous writer suggested Chaplin Park near the Yacht Club, but why have to take more of open space on the river side. Also, Chaplin Park floods badly after any rain, and cars and trailers would very easily be bogged. The only suggestion I can make is parking spots in Noosa Parade and Quamby Place be signed as passenger vehicles only. Perhaps with a 24 hour limit. During summer and holiday times there is no football played at Noosa Dolphins Rugby field, Noosa Lions Soccer field and Noosa Pirates League field. Make these available for trailer parking in off season and advise trailer owners. Maybe those clubs could somehow charge a fee and make some extra money. Noosa Heads has the same problem as any “ must go to places” all over the world, there will never be adequate parking. The problem at Noosa is probably unique, because in the middle of the “must go to place“ there are houses and accommodation apartments. I have no idea how to fix a problem that has been around for at least 20 years. By the way it is not easy to take your “must have beach gazebo“ on the free buses. John Robinson, Doonan

Stop making plastic I would have thought it a no brainer that to really tackle the problem of our planet being strangled by plastics is to stop manufacturing the stuff. There are alternatives, there is enough of the stuff to reuse and companies need to stop over packaging items. Everyone can make a daily difference by refusing to buy fruit and vegetables, for one example, wrapped in plastic. Judy Davies Noosaville I agree with a recent letter to Noosa Today that boat trailers parked in Quamby Place and Noosa Parade are using parking spots designated for passenger vehicles. I drive along Noosa Parade three times a week and noted one large trailer parked in

Tour de turtle: Mystery movements of ancient mariners Mystery movements of two majestic sea creatures can now be followed in real time. Trackers installed on two critically endangered loggerhead turtles that nested on Sunshine Coast beaches last December (2022) are active and show they have left our shores to migrate home. Follow the trail of First Lady and Bullumby via the live map on council’s website by searching ‘tracking turtles’. Sunshine Coast Council’s TurtleCare conservation officer Kate Hofmeister said excitement was high within Sunshine Coast TurtleCare, with volunteers keeping a close eye on the turtles’ migration movements. “After laying her nest at Buddina, First Lady (identified on the map as 236574) spent her inter-nesting period in the near-shore environment off the east coast of Bribie Island before returning to Buddina to lay her last clutch for the season,” Ms Hofmeister said. “She then made her way around Cape Moreton to the southeast coast of Malgumpin (Moreton Island). 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 February, 2023

“We believe this is her home – First Lady regularly returns to a central location and embarks on what could be foraging trips nearby. The second turtle to be tracked, Bullumby which means “beautiful one’’, was named by Kabi Kabi Lore/Law Woman and TurtleCare citizen scientist Bridgette Chilli and is identified on the map as 133768. Ms Hofmeister said Bullumby appeared to live further afield. “After laying her final clutch for the season, she followed the coastline north past the top of K’gari (Fraser Island) and has now headed north-east, into the Coral Sea,” Ms Hofmeister said. “She could potentially travel up to 2700km back to her feeding grounds and home. “We are excited to further unlock the mystery of our Sunshine Coast nesting turtles.” This data is downloaded into the Wildlife Computers Portal and accessed by Queensland Government and council. The trackers are expected to work for approximately six months. Ms Hofmeister said while it was fascinating

to find out where these turtles called ‘home’ at the end of nesting season, the GPS tracking devices also told an important story locally as they looked to preserve the Blue Biosphere and help the species recover. “Our Blue Biosphere is the first 5km offshore,” Mrs Hofmeister said. “We will use the data to show where they’ve been and use those locations to understand what type of habitat they are using off our coastline between clutches of eggs. “Since the 1970s, loggerhead turtles nesting along the Queensland coastline have decreased by almost 90 per cent due to a number of threats. This makes every nest and every egg critical to the ongoing survival and recovery of this critically endangered population. “This valuable insight into turtle movements helps us to better understand and protect their habitats – with an ultimate goal to support their populations to recover.” This exciting project is part of a collaborative research project with Dr Colin Limpus from the Queensland Government’s Department of En-

vironment and Science. How you can help these precious creatures: Report turtle tracks, new nests and emerging hatchlings to our Turtle Care hotline or Coolum and North Shore Coast Care. For sightings on the southern end of the coast call 0437 559 067 and for sightings from Mooloolaba north call Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0478 435 377. Switch off your outside lights from 8pm as light pollution disorientates turtles and hatchlings. Make sure you take your rubbish with you from the beach so the turtles have a clean environment to lay their eggs in. Our TurtleCare volunteers are highly trained citizen scientists who are making an incredible contribution to the ongoing survival of critically endangered turtles by monitoring nesting mothers, relocating nests if necessary for hatchling survival, and providing essential data to support the protection of these majestic animal.

Llew’s News Llew O’Brien

Health is a high priority The first fortnight of Parliamentary sittings for 2023 has wrapped up and it’s good to be back home in Wide Bay for a few weeks. On the first day of the sitting fortnight, I spoke in the Federation Chamber about the closure of the general practitioner clinics in Pomona and Imbil that are owned by a Brisbane-based company, and the impact this is having on these communities. One of the reasons cited for the closures is the Federal Albanese Government’s changes to Distribution Priority Areas (DPA), which now makes it easier to recruit doctors to metropolitan areas - but as there is a limited supply of doctors, it is much harder to bring them to regional communities like ours in Wide Bay. Another reason is the indexation of Medicare rebates, which under successive governments haven’t been keeping pace with rising costs and don’t adequately compensate GPs. I’m continuing to meet with the Central Queensland, Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast Primary Health Network to advocate on behalf of these communities to try to restore services, but this could take some time due to the warped DPA policy. The Government must fix this crisis so people can access a local doctor when they need it. I finished the sitting fortnight with a speech in the House of Representatives, where I spoke about two causes that are very important to me and my family, and to many people throughout the Wide Bay region. I highlighted the need for the Federal Government to allocate funding for counselling

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien and support services for women with ovarian cancer. This one is very personal to my family, as my wife Sharon lost her mother to ovarian cancer last year. Women with this deadly cancer have a one in two chance of dying, and those who go into remission know it has a very high chance of reoccurring. The second cause I spoke about is the need for funding for Motor Neurone Disease Queensland, the only MND organisation in Australia that is not funded by their state government. I called on the Queensland Govern-

ment to provide funding for this organisation to support them in delivering specialised services to people with MND that would allow them to stay at home and avoid unnecessary hospital admissions. My mum had MND and I am all too aware of how challenging MND is for those who suffer with it, for their families and the people who care for them. Community groups and volunteers play a very important role in our society, offering social, cultural, recreational, and educational enrichment opportunities for the communities they serve. These organisations often need

assistance with funding for maintenance and upgrades to their facilities and equipment, and to deliver programs and services. Currently, there is a great opportunity for service, sporting, and community groups to apply for a grant of between $2,500 and $20,000 to purchase equipment or undertake a small capital project that will help strengthen their community. Round eight of the Australian Government’s Stronger Communities Program has opened, and I encourage community groups in Noosa and surrounding areas to submit an Expression of Interest to this very popular grant program. Expressions of Interest close on 10 March 2023 and in this round, applicants can request up to 100 per cent of eligible project costs. A local committee will assess the EOIs and then invited applicants will proceed to the formal application stage which must be completed and lodged by 10 May 2023. Up to $150,000 in total is available for eligible projects in the Wide Bay electorate. I encourage eligible organisations interested in bringing forward SCP project proposals to contact my electorate office on telephone 4121 2936, or visit my website llewobrien.com. au/ for copies of the guidelines, eligibility criteria, and the EOI application form. Previous rounds of the Stronger Communities Fund have supported a range of projects throughout the Noosa Council area, and I look forward to continuing to work with local groups to enhance Noosa’s vibrancy.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Beating the path to Treaty If you are confused around the many references and intentions regarding Path to Treaty, an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, and other government and political efforts around securing a future that acknowledges our past in efforts to create a better future, you are not alone! When I last wrote of what Indigenous Land Use Agreements and Native Title meant, I promised to investigate further concerns brought to me, even though most are outside of state jurisdiction, and present this in easy to understand ‘plain speak’. How naïve I was to think I could untangle the complexity, similar to those Christmas tree lights I wrestle with every year, in one column. Instead, I will start the journey as I continue researching, including in response to some questions today from our First Nations women which I hope to have answers for in time for International Women’s Day! The Queensland State Government says via its website, that there is no standard format for treaties, and each is shaped by the unique social, political and historical context that exists between the parties who are negotiating the treaty. Treaties can be for the whole state, or individual treaties with specific Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups could be negotiated. Examples of treaties included the recognition of First Nations peoples as the original owners and custodians of the land, winds, sky and waters, to result in a binding relationship that empowers First Nations people and ensures substantive social justice outcomes. According to our old pal Wiki, the Voice to Parliament is the proposed new advisory group containing separately elected Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, enshrined in the Constitution of Australia, which would “have a responsibility and right to advise the Australian Parliament and Government on national matters of significance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples“. The request for creating the Indigenous Voice to Parliament was a result of the May 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart, delivered by the First Nations National Constitutional Convention which met at Uluru. Now that all sounds wonderful, shiny and full of good intent, however, as we are already hearing, there are challenges. Whether on news feeds or in Parliaments, the diversity of opinion, even between First Nations Federal Members of Parliament, ranges from that these are a positive, to that enshrining a Voice to Parliament, or treaties, means little on the ground when it comes to better outcomes for our First Nations people. The narrative against has included Facebook commentary, movements and speeches in Parliament querying the Native Title process, and whether various recognised legitimate claimants are actually legitimate. Given across the country, Native Title processes have been underway for four decades, there has been plenty of time in this realm. Even from my personal experience in the Northern Territory over 30 years ago when Native Title was negotiated for the property we managed, never had I heard this raised, and I had to ask myself ‘why now’? When you look back as to where this all started (Mabo – Uluru Statement of the Heart) I have no doubt that at that time there would have been differing viewpoints between our First Nations people about the path forward, however, had presumed, obviously incorrectly, that the wrinkles would be ironed out, and that what we are attempting to do is what was recommended from First Nations Australians themselves. The question is, have we strayed from their intention, or did we interpret reconciliation from our perspective, instead of theirs? It may be, as one Senator recently requested, that a review on the Federal processes is needed to clear the air, so to speak! The reality is that along this journey there are some upheavals, with aspersions cast on

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton the processes, claimants and intentions that impacts all of us, including state MPs making determinations on legislation and proposals such as the Cooloola Great Walk, and will continue to into the future if we do not get the clarity sought. This whether in relation to Indigenous Land Use or Management Agreements in our own community, Native Title, the Voice or a map of the Path to Treaty from the Queensland Government. Lack of clarity or detail filters down the chain, leading to a vast volume of misunderstandings, misinterpretations and misinformation on the ground. As a previous member of the Innovation, Tourism Development and Environment Committee, I was privy to submissions of dissent between First Nations people in another community regarding the terms of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) and an Indigenous Management Agreement (IMA) , and included in my Statement of Reservation in August 2020 that “It is vital that governments of all levels now make provision to incorporate into consultations and beyond a process of mediation, as the journey forward requires unity, respect and collaboration between and within communities. As well, to review why management documents such as an IMA cannot be made available within our First Nations communities as part of building that unity.” IMAs, like ILUAs, are treated as Commercial in Confidence, however, this may also need to be reviewed, as how do we reduce the incorrect assumptions and misinformation surrounding without being able to access what is actually in them? Recently I investigated the spreading of a most ridiculous story that I was bussing in Kabi Kabi from Cherbourg to create unrest with Indigenous women who were gathering in a sacred spot at Poona Lake. In my time as a representative over the last decade, I have had to deal with some bizarre accusations, including that I was a member of the Temple of Satan! However, this one perturbed me as I have

always been clear I do not involve myself in Kabi business, and needed to understand who was pitting Kabi women against an MP who has been openly supportive of Kabi endeavours in our community? Ultimately, all I could ascertain, woman to woman, was the internal conflict between our First Nations people including who and how legitimate claimants should be rightfully determined by the courts as in Native Title Claims, and a difference of opinion on the path forward. In essence, it seems that there are those who have worked for many years to better the lives of First Nations people, both Indigenous and non, through working within the frameworks we have, and then there are those who wish for a different system, sovereignty, defined as “a state or a governing body [that] has the full right and power to govern itself without any interference from outside sources or bodies“. Currently we are trying to move forward under the system we have. Does it need tweaking? Maybe. However, we must work to what unites, not systems that divide or separate. We are all Australians, and when any Australian is suffering, we all suffer. It is in everyone’s best interests to ensure the wrongs of the past are righted through truth telling and acknowledgments that both Indigenous and non-Indigenous have suffered through our history, and still do. However, as with any representative or advisory group regardless of intent, casting aspersions upon each other does not make this journey any easier for anyone. Having firsthand experience as a representative, there are always those who work to see you unelected for their own reasons and seeing this occur between our First Nations people has been unexpected. However, as recently explained to me by a Kabi woman, they are just like us. They have arguments, disagree with a majority consensus including at election time, and even look to oust their representatives, just as we do! As you have seen for many years now, I

continue to fight for an end to misinformation and misunderstandings through respectful communications and debate, objective research and rejecting the nastiness, mistruths and forms of skullduggery that unfortunately continue. With that in mind, as this is such a complex topic and we have a long journey to go, I have been in contact with the Queensland South Native Title Services and our universities to get the facts around processes such as Indigenous voting, dispersal of funds gained through ILUAs, and recognition of claimants as examples. These we will post up to Noosa 360 once received, as well extra contact details for any person who has questions relating to these processes, and information on a free legal advice service that is soon to be made available. Until then, and the expected media release regarding the ILUA for the Cooloola Great Walk (CGW) from Kabi representatives, CABN and the Queensland State government, I ask everyone to come together and find common ground to move forward. The current Facebook shenanigans, often from outside of our electorate, are detrimental and destructive, at a time where there should be pride in the progress being made, and respect for those who have laboured so hard for decades for reconciliation. Let me assure you that should at any time I find that the intent of the CGW project is not as originally proposed for the benefit of Kabi and our community, I will be the first to let you know, including whether there is any reason to no longer support the project. To do otherwise is slowing down efforts for unity, bettering the lives of all Australians, and getting to that day when we can celebrate an Aussie Day all together, simply because we are proud of who we are collectively, and what we aspire to. Until next time Sandy Friday, 24 February, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 41

Katie’s Blue tribute Tim Rogers Off the back of 10 sold out shows this year, Katie Noonan has announced more dates to her Australian tour as she presents Joni Mitchell’s Blue. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of this landmark album, Katie Noonan will be accompanied by a guitarist, and they’ll perform in intimate mode for this special run of shows. According to Mitchell, Blue was “the purest emotional record that I will ever make in my life… there’s hardly a dishonest note in the vocals.” “Blue is an album that unequivocally

changed my life. From a compositional, lyrical and vocal performance point of view it has inspired me deeply. “I love that the album was gifted to me from another female artist, and it is an album I regularly recommend to up-and-coming female artists also. Joni’s artistry and music genius is unparalleled, and I absolutely love singing her songs,” Katie said. Over the past 20 years, five-time ARIA award-winning artist Katie Noonan has proven herself one of Australia’s most hardworking, versatile and prolific artists. She won praise for her performance of Joni

Mitchell’s Blue by critics including the Sydney Morning Herald: “Noonan, whose vocal acrobatics sent shivers down the spine, is ensuring this beloved old album continues to enchant new audiences. Sure to please not only Joni fans but lovers of music and poetry alike, this concert will be a spine-tingling evening you won’t want to miss”. The tour runs across the country until June with performances on the Sunshine Coast on Friday 9 June at The Events Centre, Caloundra and Saturday 10 Juneat The J Theatre, Noosa. Tickets for all shows are available from katienoonan.com.au/shows

at Imperial Tim Rogers, one of Australia’s most respected and loved artists, brings his band The Twin Set and their rich country-blues rhythms to The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Thursday 30 March. With a career spanning 30 years and a catalogue of fan favs and critically acclaimed songs, Tim’s long awaited return is here with support of his soon to be released record Tines of Stars Unfurled (to be released 24 February). Tines of Stars Unfurled is a bookend to Tim Rogers’ classic solo debut of ‘99 What Rhymes With Cars and Girls, marking the welcome return of his fiddleand-squeezebox country-blues compadres The Twin Set, and the (slightly more temperate) barstool yarn-spinner’s perspective that made the You Am I frontman ARIA’s Best Male Artist 23 years ago. That’s long enough to bring new poetry, wit, and wisdom to the rock’n’roll philosopher’s kitbag as 11 new songs hold hands with their precursors across the chasm of innocence and experience. Like the first single Been So Good, Been So Far says, “Guess I’m doing OK. How about you?“ Kids grow up, adults split up, parents pass on, some nights look better in than out and somehow, the songs keep getting better. The Twin Set line-up sees Jen Anderson on violin and strings, Jeff Consi on drums, Davey Lane on guitar and Richard Bradbeer on bass. This is an 18+ show. Doors open at 7.30pm. Tickets $45 (+ booking fee) available through Oztix.

‘More of everything’ as dates revealed for Horizon Get your calendars out and highlight these dates if you want to immerse yourself in a Sunshine Coast event like no other. Organisers have confirmed that the 2023 Horizon Festival, a 10-day showcase of culture, music, visual art, theatre, dance, comedy and creative workshops, will return in 2023 from 25 August to 3 September. Sunshine Coast Council’s Horizon Festival director Hannah Clissold said audiences and participants could expect more of everything at this year’s festival. “We are excited to again have a strong arts and cultural line up, showcasing an impressive array of local artists alongside some nationally recognised and, for the first time since the 2019 Festival, one internationally recognised act,” Ms Clissold said. “First Nations art and artists will be at the forefront of our programming with incredible cultural experiences woven through the festival. “Homegrown, which is presented in partnership with The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), will return for its fourth year, providing a platform for three talented local artists to present projects across the festival period. “And excitingly, last year’s well received festival hub at Cotton Tree with the spectacular

Wonderland Spiegeltent, is returning this year. “We’ve taken on board all the feedback and learnings from 2022 and in this year’s program we want to bring the community together, offer more free art experiences, more food and family entertainment – just more excitement, made accessible for everyone across the region to enjoy.” Sunshine Coast Council Arts Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the festival lifted our gaze and hastened our hearts as it had evolved to become a real highlight in the region’s calendar of events. “The Sunshine Coast arts and cultural ecology is also steadily growing confident and excitingly ambitious, and the Horizon Festival is a wonderful way to showcase that,” Cr Baberowski said. “In 2022, more than 500 artists presented 161 events across 25 locations attracting more than 21,000 attendances. “During the 10-day festival, those attendees injected more than $1.7 million into the Sunshine Coast economy. “With the dates now announced, I encourage all businesses – arts based, hospitality or tourist-focused to lean solidly into the festival, mark the date in your diary and as much as possible, leverage all the social and economic benefits that this festival provides.”

Neverland comes to Noosa If you asked one of those newfangled artificial intelligence apps on the internet to come up with the perfect person to write a social history of Byron Bay’s surf and associated cultures of 50 years ago, it would probably take a nanosecond to come up with the name Tricia Shantz. A social geographer and researcher who works in journalism, social planning and community development, Tricia is also known as Mrs Rusty Miller, the former US surf champ of the 1960s who created the template for American surfers to flock to Byron in the early ‘70s, with whom she has not only shared the raising of a family in the town but has also coauthored and published two previous books of surfing nostalgia. A third, called No Fixed Abode: stories from the streets of Byron Bay, was published in association with the Byron Writers Festival. So she knows her stuff. It’s interesting to note that Turning Point I, the first Miller/Shantz book collaboration, credited only Rusty on the cover. Turning Point II, published two years later, was “by Rusty Miller with Tricia Shantz”, which is code for a ghost writer or “fixing up the grammar

and punctuation”. Now, eight years later, in Neverland - American and Australian surfers in Byron Bay 1960s and 1970s, she gets a well-deserved solo billing, although Rusty’s own migration story, from San Diego to Byron via some wild times on the garden isle of Kauai, was clearly an inspiration. While Rusty has proven his talent as a writer over half a century of articles in magazines like Tracks and in the family’s own Byron Guide publication, Neverland is Tricia’s time to shine, and it is a tour de force that has attracted rave reviews. “Tricia has successfully woven personal stories of drama and daring into a layered social history of the far north coast seen through the eyes of a community of American and Australian surfers tied through a bond of understanding and respecting a feeling born out of the joy we experience playing in the waves,” wrote Simon Baker, award winning actor and director, and local resident. “Byron Bay is rich in stories … this book is a treasury of those tales that give Byron its unique living spirit, [and] to read it is to feel that you have been welcomed into a tribe”, wrote author,

Peroni Leggera 24 Pack Stubbies $48.00

journalist and surfer Malcolm Knox. “Neverland is an insanely enjoyable, albeit bittersweet read,” said Swellnet’s Steve Shearer. Neverland, illustrated with archival and contemporary photography from the surfing era (much of it by Rusty) is a social history of a surf town. It is the story of the surfers, American and Australian, who made Byron Bay their home in the 1960s and 1970s. These stories, as told to the author, are of a time in Byron that changed its history forever. Culture wars, freedom, rebellion, the new residents believed they were going to change the world. The book explains how a backwater NSW slaughterhouse town became the beating heart of Australian counterculture, a crossroads creative Mecca, a world-class surf destination, and home to some of the planet’s most desirable addresses and expensive real estate. Most of the local surfing community will know Tricia and Rusty from their many years of patronage of the Noosa Festival of Surfing – a true-blue surfing family whose love of our surf culture shines through everything they do. And Neverland, whose title is taken from a hippy clothing shop of the early ‘70s,

is no exception. It is fitting that the Noosa launch of Neverland should take place during the Festival of Surfing, with Annie’s Books on Peregian hosting one of its famous footpath wine and cheese evenings with Tricia Shantz and Rusty Miller in conversation with Phil Jarratt. Says Annie: “Surf-related books are always of great interest to surfers old and young, and Neverland will appeal to those who have loved Byron Bay since its surf breaks were discovered, and those younger surfers who know the great surfing stories and big names such as George Greenough, Paul Witzig, Rusty Miller, Dick Hoole and more. Neverland is packed with photographs and entertaining tales, along with a cultural and social history of one of Australia’s favourite coastal destinations. We anticipate a lively conversation with Tricia, Rusty and Phil – and the audience will be encouraged to tell some of their own Byron Bay stories and experiences.” Free event, 6pm Tuesday 7 March. Author talk with wine and cheese. At Annie’s Books On Peregian. Limited seating - you are welcome to bring a folding chair

Jack Frost and his Best Beach Dub.

Love for the bug unites It was the women who shone last Saturday at Klub VW Sunshine Coast’s Luv a Dub event, taking out top awards for their beloved VWs. Laila Cummings won Best of Show with her 1971 beetle which she has owned since she was 16 years old and restored over the years while trying to keep it as original as possible. Leanne Hodges was over the moon to be presented with the Best Bus award for her meticulously renovated Kombi she calls Dixi, dedicating the win to girl power. Leanne and husband Gary drove Dixi to the

event from Hervey Bay in the Kombi’s first outing since its 18-month makeover. Dixi is sure to become a regular feature at Hervey Bay where Leanne is a member of the Kombi Queens, a group of all-female Kombi owners who get together with their Kombis. The annual Luv a Dub event brought together VW owners from across Queensland’s south east for a meet at Noosa Marina, a drive through the region, and raised more than $500 for the Surf Lifesaving Queensland.

Competitors hit the water running in the Noosa Summer Swim.

Pictures: SUNNY COAST PHOTOS

Friends practised their synchronised technique before taking the plunge.

World swim great success On Sunday morning in the immediate area of Noosa’s Main Beach, some 2000 competitors gathered to contest the events listed on the program drawn up for the World Series Swim. In what can only be described as perfect for this type of program, beautiful sunny day and flat surf, the event was a great success. A two-day lead up saw beach competition area well organised, information sheets in place, and the temporary marker cans for the swim courses laid. This was done late Saturday. Early Sunday morning, the temporary markers are removed and replaced by the swim buoys. Following this, the all- important briefing sessions were conducted and top of the list was, as always, water safety. Under the guidance of the IRB officer Trevor King, all water safety patrol members were fully briefed, six IRB teams (one driver, one crew and a radio) and 23 board rescue patrol members. For events such as this, the board rescue is used as a holding platform. In the event of a swimmer in difficulty, they are held on the board and an IRB team immediately takes them on board.They are returned to the beach. Because of the safe conditions, only three extractions were performed. This was the 10th year of the event and for all these, our lifesavers have performed their duties. Regarding this, event manager, John Giuse said, “The local lifesavers have been with us every year and we cannot speak highly enough of their dedication and overall performance.” Once again, this responsibility was in the hands of our local lifesavers from the Noosa, Coolum and Peregian clubs. These teams were backed up by the paramedics, and you could not ask for better safety group. This will give a behind scenes look at exactly what was needed to provide, not only a well-run event, but above all, a safe one. And remember, there were 2000 swimmers registered. The program consisted of five events: 5k, 3k,2k,1k and for the junior swimmers, the Young Giants, a 300m swim. The big event of the day was the 5km. This was won by Bailey Armstrong in a time 57.32 with Thomas Raymond second in 57.46, Kalian Carrel third. To say this was the race of the day would be an understatement. With the near completion of the 5km, the swimmers, with 100m to go, were swimming shoulder to shoulder and it was in only the short distance that Armstrong pulled ahead. Both contestants are in the Australian team for the World Titles in Israel in March. “However, the most popular event of the day,” said Giuse, “was the 2k swim with around 700 entrants, one of the biggest we have ever held.” This was won by Damian Burke in a time of 17.04. And for the 300m Young Giants, Saman48 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 February, 2023

Olympic swimmer Michael Klim encouraged young competitors in the summer swim. tha Brown finished in a time of 7.09. “It is also interesting to note that some 20 per cent of the entrants come from outside Queensland and this has been a fairly constant rate over the 10 years of the event.” Once again, a big thank you to all involved: the World Series Swim workers, 20 staff plus 20 local volunteers and 35 surf club safety patrol members. Let’s not forget those 2000 registered competitors. All have contributed towards making this, the biggest swim event in Queensland. Surf lifesaving At last weekend’s Youth Queensland State Titles held at Mooloolaba Beach over a four-day period, Noosa Heads SLSC had their best overall results in several seasons. Over 60 Noosa athletes competed from u/11 to u/15 age groups and coach Darren Mercer stated, “It was a good result with the team winning medals in every age group.” Perhaps the most pleasing aspect was the fact that the medals were won across the board in all categories of beach events and water. On the beach 2km runs and relays of 2x500m and 2x1km, saw Noosa finish with

three silver and two bronze medals. In the U15 surf board it was bronze, and for surf team’s silver: and U13 and U15 male board relays also bronze. For the U13 female board rescue, it was silver. For the Noosa club the fact that they were contesting both team and individual events was indeed a good sign. Club spirit. At the same titles, Sunshine Beach was also having an outstanding carnival. At the completion, the points tally revealed that their club finished 5th overall, an incredible result. A count of 22 medals overall (14 individual and 8 team medals) has made the club, “a very competitive squad.” Coaching the athletes all in their youth, are husband and wife duo, Wes and Jade Berg (nee Sutcliffe): with Wes being a former Nutri Grain Ironman, and Jade a former professional Ironwoman. On Sunday, squad members were in nearly every final: and this resulted in a very successful state titles campaign. Good to see both clubs were successful in water and beach events: also, individual and teams. Amongst the team were several standouts:

U11 Liam Wright who took a gold trifector winning the Ironman, Surf Race and Board. For Niamh Arthur it was another trifector: the young lady won the U14 female Ironwoman, Board Rescue and Surf Teams. Other results saw Sunshine come home with awards for Water Events (2 silver 6 bronze), Beach Individual Events (3 gold), Beach Team Events (2 silver 1 bronze) and Water Teams (3 silver). These results in both individual and team events are indeed very comforting. It tells us the good news, that the basic old age virtue of a good lifesaver, is as a team man, or one who can also act alone in a moment of crisis. To both our coaching panels, Sunshine and Noosa, well done and thank you for reviving those traditional, and basic old virtues - team work and individual. Seahorse Nippers This weekend will be the finish of another successful season of the Noosa Seahorse Nippers. Under the guidance of founding senior Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club members, Steve and Nichole Mawby, this club over its 11 years, has gone from strength to strength. A big thank you from Steve and Nichole to all who have been and are now still involved.

This year’s summer swim attracted 2000 participants.

Young swimmers take to the water.

There was no getting lost in the water for this colourful group.

Winners of the 5km swim Chelsea Gubecka and Bailey Armstrong.

“Thank you to patrons Dawn Fraser and Jordy Mercer and our clubbies who work as helpers, those very important Bus Boys, Big Pete and the crew who, along with council support, make access to the beach and parking so much easier. Councillor Amelia Lorentson and the Tewantin Noosa Lions, those beach mats have been a god send. And most important the Water Safety Officers.” There are now 45 registered participants from age 6 to 31. To all sponsors and parents well done, and thank you for being part of this great family. Saturday will see a presentation of awards and President of Lions Ian McGlew, will do the honours. Boxing It is good news from the Cooroy Impact Boxing and Fitness Club. Bryce “The Hurricane” Hegarty, has chalked up another win. Boxing in the middleweight division he scored a 3rd round victory over Connor Napier, when the referee called a halt to the contest in the third round: awarding Hegarty his second KO victory in a row. The end came, when in front of a full house, Napier was caught with a massive right hand which left him unable to continue.

Training under the guidance of Mark Evans of Impact Boxing and Fitness Club this win gives Hegarty three wins from three fights, with two KOs. After leaving a successful amateur career, the Hurricane has developed a very determined attitude. His gym work, in particular his sparing sessions and road work is tops. “We were very happy with Bryce’s performance on the night,” said Evans. “We didn’t get the greatest preparation leading into this bout. A few niggly injuries, and some sparring partners who didn’t turn up to training. However, this did not affect Bryce, he got straight down to business and the night was his” There is a big possibility that this win will set him up for his next step, which hopefully, will be a crack at the Queensland Super Middleweight title. To Hurricane, Coach Evans and team, good luck.

Three big scores in Firsts By Randall Woodley In the second last round of fixture matches the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder senior cricket teams performed above expectations. Four of the teams registered wins, placing them all in good positions to play finals, commencing in early March. But the standout match was where the First Graders scored 456 runs for the loss of only three wickets off 96 overs. If the Thunder batsmen had been able to face one more over it is certain that three of their batsmen would have registered centuries. As it was Ben Laughlin scored 157, Ben Claypole 101 and youngster Cody Pyne was left stranded on 91 when the umpires called stumps. FIRST GRADE: On Day 2 of their match, the Firsts found themselves batting after Glasshouse declared their innings closed setting a target of 308 from 96 overs for first innings points. With the pitch and ground as good for batting as it had been for years the team were very confident. And the confidence was well founded with the day’s cricket revolving around two big batting partnerships, one of 204 and the other an unbroken 179. Openers Lewis Waugh and Ben Laughlin started cautiously to be 19 off the first 13 overs. They went through the gears leading up to lunch to be 100 after the first session. Then after lunch they opened up increasing the scoring rate dramatically. Ben passed 100 for the first time with some brutal 360-degree scoring and the 200 partnership was brought up before Waugh (72) went to a leg side stumping. Laughlin was joined by last week’s century maker Ben Claypole who looked at ease from ball one. Laughlin went for 157 (20 fours and five sixes) in an amazing innings with the score on 243 with the game effectively over and making over half the runs himself. The next wicket fell for 3-277 which brought together Benny Claypole and Cody Pyne and what followed was a 26 over unbroken partnership of 179. Claypole bringing up back-toback 100s with Pyne finishing on 91 not out. The day ended with Thunder at 3 down for 456 and had been an unbelievable day to watch. The pitch can be as flat as you want but you still have to score the runs. Thunder now have three of the top five and four of the top 10 run scorers in the competition. Building nicely for the finals. Next week they are at Maroochydore to take on the ladder leaders in the final scheduled match of the season. The incredible home winning run now extends to 29 wins since the club’s last loss at Read Park. SECONDS: The team lost on the first innings to Glasshouse. The Rangers scored 253 and the Thunder batters were no match. Eventually they were all out for a disappointing 116. Best scorers for Thunder were Jarred Davis 36 and Max Cooper 27. THIRDS: At the start of Day 2 it was clear that Caloundra was in no mood to chase down Thunder’s first innings score of 240. Wickets fell consistently with Thunder’s effort in the field top class on a hot day. Caloundra was all out for 126 and Thunder enforced the follow on, hoping to gain some much-needed points. It did not pan out as hoped and Caloundra’s big hitters found their form second time around and at stumps the Thunder bowlers had only been able to take one wicket. All in all, the Tewantin-Noosa boys played great cricket over the two days, deserved the win and the points which has placed them in third place with a game to go. Best bowling figures- Richard Lee 4-35, Luke Anstey 2-35, Finn Mayo 3-18 and Ethan Stanley 1-17. Their final match before the finals is against Nambour starting next Saturday. FIFTHS: Back at Yandina for Day 2 and defending a first innings score of 226 from Day 1, Rory Ramsden got the early breakthrough after a tactical change of ends. Farran Cooke also bowled very tightly, and he and Rory Ramsden took the first five wickets between them to have Yandina in trouble at 5-17 in the 15th over. Yandina then put together a solid partnership before Rory struck again straight after the tea break with Yandina on 74. From there Yandina tried to hit their way out of trouble with the remaining wickets picked up by Jayke Carlile (2-17) and Sam O’Neill (1/9) to see Yan50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 February, 2023

Thunder’s Ben Laughlin after scoring his 157 at Read Park last Saturday. dina all out for 117. Rory’s 9 over spell included seven maidens to finish on 4-5. The last hour saw Thunder return to the crease to put on a further 58 runs for some much-needed points with the run into the finals. Kent Officer, returning from the Caribbean where he had played in the Australian Over 60 touring team, remained not out on 42. Next weekend is another must win game against Cooroy-Eumundi at Read Park in the final round to make the finals. SIXTHS: On Day 1 the Thunder Sixes had dismissed the USC team for 32, then declared themselves at 2 for 82 and bowled again to USC who at stumps were 2-16.

Finn Mayo had a great match against Caloundra in 5th Grade. He scored 33 and took three wickets for 18.

Day 2 started where Day 1 finished, and Thunder were quickly into the Uni batters. Low scoring and quick wickets had all the Sixers on the front foot, and USC was bowled out for 68. This left Thunder 27 to secure the outright win and the target was reached in eight overs. Every player had done their part with best bowling figures to Graham Chaplin 5-12, Wayne Moore 1-11, Justin Talbot 2-5, Shane Gesell 1-1 and Justin Latimer 1-17. Craig Moore stumped three batsmen off Chaplin who was on a hat trick at one stage. The boys have secured a finals spot again this year and are confident they can carry their form through the last game against

Landsborough over the next two Saturdays and into the finals. UNDER 17S: The team had a big win against Cooroy-Eumundi which sees them finish the season in fourthth place. Next weekend they take on Caloundra in the first semi-final. Great season so far for the boys and they are gathering momentum and confidence. UNDER 15S: The final match for the season was a 30 over hit-out against Coolum. Thunder scored 166 and Coolum replied with 147. Although the team just miss out on finals finishing 5th on the ladder, they have not lost a game since early December. Great momentum to take into next season with the majority of the team able to play U15s again.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Jack leads after opener The WSL’s tour-opening Hawaiian leg certainly had its moments but I’m still trying to understand several of them. Like why, despite all the talk about gender equality, at the Hurley Pro Sunset they put the women out for eight critical heats in absolute rubbish when they knew they had reasonable forecast ahead before the window closed. Steph made it look better than it was, and Molly Picklum was one of only a couple to get a two-wave score in double figures. It was too painful to watch, so I switched off and did myself a huge favour by catching the end of a far more exciting small domestic pro event, about which more in a minute. And how deep do you have to be in the barrel at Sunset to score more than a four? If I ever get another barrel in a comp – and I think the last one was in the late ‘60s – and don’t get a 10 I’m going home! Seriously though, I was astounded by the low scores dished out for technically difficult exits in fairly heavy water Sunset. Jack Robinson was threading them as well as anyone, but being a smart surfer he went to turns to finish up third and retain the yellow jersey. After an ordinary Pipeline Pro, the GOAT, Kelly Slater, 51 last week, needed a result at Sunset if he wants to stay in the mid-season cut conversation, but on the biggest and best day, no matter how far up the point he paddled and no matter how far back down it he came hidden from view under a chandelier of water, the judges remained unimpressed. Kelly now sits below the cut line at equal 16 in the rankings going into Portugal, with the Australian leg to decide who gets the axe. Will Slater realise he’s not rocking their boat anymore and avoid the coldwater face plants of Peniche, the ice cream headaches of Bells Beach and the hold-downs at Margie’s? I’d like a buck for every time we’ve pondered that, but this year I reckon he’s close to an honourable exit, maybe with a couple of wildcards to ease the relevance deprivation. Meanwhile, in the land of the living, rookie Molly Picklum from the NSW Central Coast, is sharing the yellow jersey with multiple world champ Carissa Moore after pulling off a major upset in knocking off Tyler Wright in the semis and going on to win her first WCT. Molly and Tyler and now the only two Australian women above the mid-season cutline, with defending champ Steph Gilmore just outside. In the men’s our Jack Robinson sits on top of the pile above defending champ Felipe Toledo, who won at Sunset, with only Ethan Ewing and Liam O’Brien just squeaking into the 16 for Australia. The Brazilian Storm has twice as many contenders. Sign of the times. Coco goes hard at Caba As I watched the WCT girls struggling in mush the other day, I sought light relief in the form of finals’ day at the Oakberry Tweed Pro, a regional qualifier being decided in pretty little waves at Cabarita. I tuned in just in time to see our own Coco Cairns convincingly take out a semi and make her first WQS final. I’ve written about Coco in these pages fairly recently, so I don’t want to make too much of a fuss, but I could only agree with the commentators who raved about the Noosa girl’s style and flair. Like a new-gen Steph Gilmore, she smashed her turns, then cruised between sections in a little soul arch like a prettier version of Rob Machado. The new maturity in her surfing was wonderful to watch, but she then had what the commentators described as a generational clash when she met the veteran South African Sarah Baum in “a thrilling matchup between two event standouts”. To quote the final report: “Cairns came out of the gates strongly, posting multiple scores early, only to be chased down by Baum, whose backhand surfing had been impressing the judges all week. Baum took the lead and then played defence for the remainder of the heat. Cairns found a couple of waves under priority, but in the end, the experience of South African-born Newcastle local Baum took the win,

Winners and runners up. Coco second from right.

Jack Robbo looking good in yellow.

Coco cuttie at Caba.

The GOAT gets another 4. the biggest and most important of her career.” The win would have been nice, but Coco was stoked, and couldn’t stop saying so: “This is the biggest result of my career, so I’m stoked,” Cairns said. “I don’t have plans to qualify for the Challenger Series just yet, and I’m not putting any pressure on myself, so I’m thrilled to have made it this far and get this experience.”

Coco styles her way to second.

Picture: WSL A couple of days later Coco took out a creditable 13th at the Gold Coast Open, pocketing more than $3500 for her two appearances and rocketing up the QS ladder from 54th to 13th. With top four and a wildcard making the cut for the International Challenger Series (the gateway to the world tour), it no doubt gave the teenager plenty to think about, back in school in Noosa this week.

FOOTNOTE: Another one of this column’s favourite surfers, pro longboarder and Noosa World Surfing Reserve president Kirra Molnar, made the final of the Queen of the Point event in the Philippines this week. As we went to press she’d surfed but was awaiting the result at a presentation, which is quaintly old school. More next week, but for now the photos show that she was having fun!

one of only five waterfront residences on a double block in the exclusive 45-hectare Noosa Waters’ estate. Three weeks into the campaign, Patrick reports a surge in numbers and interest with “a reach of 1.9m people via social media, while the investment in a strong print media campaign is helping to drive passive and interstate buyers alike. “We have had international enquiries including Asia and the United Kingdom, strong enquiry from farming and mining clients in regional Australia plus the usual steam of calls from Sydney, Melbourne and even Tasmania.” PENTHOUSE WITH WIDE APPEAL Inquiry in equal measures has also been reported by Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Lauren Chen and Luke Chen for their listing of the sparkling new penthouse-style apartment number 2 at 6 Angler Street Noosa Heads. It has mesmerising 180-degree views which optimise the perfect aspect sweeping Lake Weyba, Noosa Sound waterways, to the luminous blue-green of the Noosa River, beyond to Rainbow Beach and close to home, the Noosa National Park. Similarly, Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nick Hunter’s listing of 12 Noosa Riviera at 144 Noosa Parade Noosa Heads, a sun-splashed penthouse apartment mere steps away the Noosa River foreshore, and where enjoying balmy nights drinking in 360-degree panoramas on the massive rooftop terrace, is de rigueur. AN OASIS OF CALM The interest in Noosa property has always been underpinned by its stunning natural beauty and amenable climate. A fine example is the Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Julie Bengtsson’s listing of 132 Cascades, 6 Noosa Springs Drive, Noosa Heads. The oasis of calm is fashioned with clever design responses and is totally on par with its spectacular location.

There are two ground-floor apartments offering two bedrooms and a bathroom, and a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment upstairs. Each have a garage on title. “It would be easy to create a connection between the top level and one of the ground-floor apartments,’’ Graham said. “The inquiry level has been good - either local or from Melbourne. “The firmer inquiry has been from people looking to take all three as all apartments have holiday-letting approval. “The projected net rental return is sizeable.

A five-bedroom, six-bathroom, three-car waterfront house with pool, jetty on 1600sq m, at 143-145 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, goes to auction at 11am on Saturday, 4 March. 320165 “The bottom two will be sold fully furnished. There are forward bookings on those. “Upstairs is negotiable with the furniture being included.’’ Purchased in 2015, an extensive rebuild was undertaken to create a true river house, with wide and deep verandahs looking over the park and the river beyond. The result is a relaxed yet elegant main residence above with two smart, selfcontained units below. This leaves the ability to unite one of the lower units (unit 1) with the upper level and create a five-bedroom, three-bathroom and two-living area home and leave the second ground floor unit to use as guest accommodation or provide a robust shortterm rental. The large penthouse-style unit features European oak timber flooring, high ceilings, fully air-conditioned throughout, and glorious bathrooms with Hansgrohe fittings. The bedrooms are spacious, there is Starlink connectivity, back-to-base security, European appliances, butler’s pantry and expansive stacker doors to combine the large verandah space with the comfortable living area. Louvres feature throughout the property, along with LED downlights, feature wall and stair lighting, while the solid masonry/ concrete slab construction provides insulation from heat/cold and noise. The two lower units have large easy-care

floor tiles, living room air-conditioning, and full kitchens in both. The laundry and bathrooms are separate. The property is securely fenced with two separate gates at the street frontage and one gate leading directly onto the park to the rear. The concrete plunge pool is at chest height and is surrounded by lime trees, kaffir limes and lemon trees. The three-car garage features a full-width loft storage, while 16kw of solar panels sit on the roof. Solar hot water is also installed for the penthouse unit with mains override when necessary.

The wide bespoke kitchen features dark timber and stainless steel work spaces. This is where Macchia shines with areas for the whole family to gather and enjoy meals and time together. High gloss two-pack or timber panelling is used throughout, with no plaster walls. Bedroom accommodation is on the first floor, where the main bedroom with ensuite opens to a large private balcony that has direct water views. A retreat or second study adds to the appeal. The media room has a clever built-in study while the private jetty offers direct boat access to the Noosa River.

SASSY BEACH HOUSE STYLE AND TRANQUILLITY THERE really is nothing like waking to the sound of waves breaking onshore, grabbing the surfboard, kids and dogs, and being on the beach in 5-mins, or why not take a bike ride along meandering pathways which run parallel to the coastal contours. From the street, the apply named At The Beach, is an absolute tribute to its seaside location. It immediately oozes character with stately palms, frangipani, buddha’s belly bamboo, cycads and heliconias, a nod to Balinese-style gardens, also the rockstone water feature curvingriver-like around the gardens, and merging into a waterlilytopped pond with fish - a haven for native birds and frogs. Open the arty custom door made from recycled hardwood, admire the bright white interior with vaulted ceilings, banks of high glass panes, plantation shutters and louvres throughout the multiple living and dining areas which stretch the width of the residence, and on the northerly side look out to the gardens. Note the wood-burning fireplace and how natural light shadow dances across seemingly endless polished honey-hued blackbutt flooring. The heart of the home is the galley-style

kitchen with blue/black granite-topped white cabinetry including a semi-island/ breakfast bar. There’s a commercial-grade oven with gas-burner cooktop, roomy pantry and all the bells and whistles a serious cook would expect – even slide away windows plus doors off the dining area, opening to expansive alfresco terraces. Designed for all reasons and seasons, especially for a family who love life, and entertaining, there are lounge and dining spaces, the latter being extra popular in the cooler months, for relaxing near the large fireplace accompanied by waves and choruses from the native birds. Easy-care gardens afford absolute privacy on the east and south sides. They are a stunning combination of mulberry, tamarillo, peach, and bananas, integrated with bleeding hearts, dedicated vegetable garden and a water feature. Generosity of space continues in the north-east wing better known as a serious slumber zone. Four large bedrooms have barn doors and built-in-robes. The master looks out to the pond and courtyard with seating, and has an on-trend dark grey tiled ensuite. One of the three doubles has

access to front garden, there’s a family bathroom with grey tiles, white stonetopped timber vanity, a heater and deep bath. On the other side of the hallway is a powder room, also a laundry with excellent storage solutions. “When it comes to a popular location and the perfect lifestyle, this hot property with a cool beach house vibe takes some beating,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tim McSweeney. “It is a twominute walk to the white sand of Sunrise Beach via the Chalet Cafe and Lookout making every surfer’s dream come true.

ON THE COVER

PINNACLE ON NOOSA WATERS PRIVATE Auction. Attendance limited to pre-registered bidders. There are many things in life that evoke immediate pure joy and envy. Visualise an exclusive deep sapphire blue waterway, a whopping 1600m2 block with a 40-metre waterfront, and the most glamorous yet laid-back styling of classic Palm Springs’ architecture - the distinctively modernist Pinnacle on Noosa Waters. Everything your heart desires... and more, is here. As one of two gates into the private driveway slide away, admire the eyecatching bright white facade. Step inside and sigh. Bespoke American oak doors open into an elegantly pared back doubleheight foyer with a chandelier-style art piece called Navicula, commissioned from the world-renowned designer David Trubridge. Stealing the limelight ahead however is beyond expectation. This residence of formidable quality and genius design, has multiple as well as immeasurable uber-luxe living and dining spaces of varying scale and moods, including enchanting bar and custom feature walls to complement. Natural light shadow dances across the seemingly endless American oak floors, before coalescing with the travertine-look tiles on the oh-so-wide undercover terrace. Unabashedly extolling the virtues of life alfresco, it stretches almost the width of the double block and faces due north, considered the holy grail of aspects, thus ensuring the residence is drenched in subtropical sunshine year-round. Akin to taking a seat in a beautiful theatre, look left to the shimmering aquamarine pool and chill-out cabana; to the right, a long jetty; in between a manicured lawn to the revetment wall, fringed with lush shrubs in white planters and framed by statuesque palms. Look ahead to the broad waterways where paddle boarding and canoeing are de rigueur or jump in the boat and spend the day fishing in the upper reaches of the Noosa River near the Everglades. The world really is your oyster. The custom kitchen and butler’s pantry, with stone-topped island/breakfast bar and exclusive pendant in Tasmanian oak, also multi high-end appliances, have been designed to suit every culinary star, every occasion. Passionate entertainers and storage aficionados will be impressed, also happy knowing a room next door to the

laundry could be a wine cellar. Nearby is also a dedicated gym and a bathroom with access to the pool. The king master suite with wispy sheers, and large north-facing terrace has a calm considered ambience and with a dressing area to suit a princess, a walk-in robe for a fashionista and an ensuite with double size rainwater showers, it whispers luxury rather than shouts it. Take the stairs or the lift if you prefer to upstairs where there are four king size bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms plus the mezzanine has a lounge area. “The location is second-to-none and the resplendent Pinnacle on Noosa Waters is undoubtedly a blue-ribbon residence, “ comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Patrick Sherwood and principal Tom Offermann, who have slated the property for auction on Saturday 4 March 2023. “Noosa Waters is known nationally as one of Australia’s premier housing precincts because of its high calibre residences, award-winning designs, deepwater frontages, and the residents only access via a lock and weir system. Pride of ownership is evident throughout the estate with well-maintained gardens, streetscapes and numerous parks, tantamount to a prevailing overtone of community, family safety and security.” “This really is an extraordinary opportunity to own a substantial slice of Noosa magic.” House Area: 742m2 Land Area: 1603m2; 40m north-facing waterfrontage; jetty w power & water Renovations/additions: architect Jackson Lightbody; builder St Andrews Constructions; completed Nov 22; inside layout totally changed; pool cabana w auto blinds; garage & gym added Pool: resurfaced w pebblecrete; new tiling; new pumps, chlorinator & heater About: ceiling heights 2.7m & entrance foyer 6m w commissioned chandelierstyle pendant Navicular by worldrenowned David Trubridge; American Oak flooring throughout; 4-person hydraulic lift; office/media room; purpose-built gym; storage room/cellar; laundry room w 2 Bosch washers & a dryer; bathroom w access to pool; new ducted aircon; Talltech smart home automation for gates, lighting, security & air-con; gas hot water; bedrooms – deluxe king master opens to terrace w wispy sheers, dressing room, walk-in robe & ensuite w double size rainwater showers, double
