The Doonan set to open

By Abbey Cannan It was all hands on deck during Noosa Today’s visit to The Doonan last Friday as their team prepared for the upcoming opening date this week. Queensland family-owned company, the Comiskey Group has partnered with long-time friends and hospitality veterans, Josh Jones and Neville Allen to bring a unique venue to the Noosa region.

The Doonan has been brought to life with the extensive renovation of the land’s existing structure, originally built in 1990 and operated as a German restaurant.

The Comiskey Group director Rob Comiskey said they were excited to finally be opening the venue after acquiring the two-hectare site at 6 Beddington Rd back in 2006.

“It’s been a long and hard battle but when you see it today, it’s just amazing,” Rob said.

“I don’t think they’re expecting this, when people walk in. It’s more of a nursery than a hotel or pub.

From the menu to the gardens, it’s a really cool concept and you’ll have to come and see it.”

United in victory As we near the 10th anniversary of Noosa’s deamalgamation from Sunshine Coast Council, PHIL JARRATT reflects on our six-year battle for independence “It might just be the strangest war cabinet in the history of conflict. One whose generals wear Michelin hats, and the lieutenants a uniform of fetching cream linen. And when the foot soldiers join the chow line at base camp in this little skirmish, forget bully beef and powdered eggs — they can expect tuna tartare and wagyu carpaccio in their tin pannikins.”

Matthew Condon, Courier-Mail Weekend, 19–20 January 2008 Just after dawn on 18 April 2007, a typically balmy, mid-autumn Noosa morning, former business titan Bob Ansett slipped into his running gear and, following the daily routine he’d established more than a decade earlier when he and wife Josie retired to their beach house, switched on the kitchen radio and made coffee while he carefully stretched his calves and thighs. The volume was low for Josie’s sake, but Ansett suddenly did a double-take when he

realised the ABC announcer was talking about a local government reform commission for Queensland. He flicked the dial up a notch and gave the broadcast his fullest attention while he sipped his coffee. By the time he left the house for his seven-kilometre run through the Noosa National Park to Main Beach, he was very, very angry.

On the previous afternoon Queensland’s Labor government had announced a local government reform commission to investigate widespread amalgamations of regional councils, with Noosa high on its hit list.

The idea of a Sunshine Coast “super coun-

cil” had been mooted for decades, usually whenever Noosa Shire Council acted to constrain unchecked development and control growth to maintain a sustainable environment. Then-premier Frank Nicklin had supported it in the 1960s, and in the early 1980s, Bjelke-Petersen’s “minister for everything”, Russ Hinze, was positively gung ho about it.

Seen from the outside, local government mergers can seem like sensible economic and social decisions, such as when a rural shire merges with its main service town, as in Widgee Shire and the city of Gympie merging in 1993.

Secret Rattler deal doubt

Win tickets to We’re Going To Graceland

By Arthur Gorrie A bid to save the finances of both the Mary Valley Rattler and Gympie Regional Council has narrowly escaped its own form of self-destruction, with both sides of the deal this week appearing to show new signs of doubt.

The plan, to save the Mary Valley Rattler and set it free in the marketplace, has met a surprisingly lukewarm response, even from the council.

And by Tuesday it did not seem to have prompted any response from the Rattler Railway Company.

This was despite the deal offering the Rattler more than $1 million in free public money over the next three years, on top of the council forgiving a debt now estimated to be about $800,000.

The deal was first announced last October at a smiles-all-round media conference at the Old Gympie Railway Station, called by Mayor Glen Hartwig and Rattler CEO Linda Barry.

But continuing secrecy about some aspects of the deal seems to have dampened even councillor enthusiasm.

The split 5-3 vote in favour of the deal at last week’s council meeting, contrasted with generally unanimous votes on other matters.

Those against were Crs Bob Fredman and Shane Waldock, with Deputy Mayor Hilary Smerdon.

Subject to state government approval, the deal as announced on 26 October, recognised “exceptionally difficult trading conditions over the past three years caused by bushfires, Covid, closed borders and floods.“ The council has also agreed to provide funding support of $400,000 a year, for three more years.

The vote followed a lengthy discussion held behind closed doors, on grounds of commercial confidentiality.

That confidentiality is believed to be related to the detail of the arrangement, as set out in a contract which is still secret, despite the involvement of a large amount of public money.

At the time of last year’s pre-announcement, Ms Barry thanked the council for agreeing to measures which she said would give the

Gympie Mayor Glenn Hartwig and Rattler Railway Company CEO Linda Barry addressed a media conference at the historic Gympie Railway Station last October about new financial measures.

Rattler a sustainable business and the Gympie community a significant tourism asset.

“As the Gympie region’s most well-known tourism asset that helps drive visitors to experience the wider Gympie/Mary Valley region, Council’s support for the Rattler is, in fact, an investment in economic development for the region,” she said.

“The support we receive from Council has to be seen in the context of a totally disrupted business environment over the previous three years that could never have been anticipated in the original forecasting.

“We had bushfires, Covid, then floods.

“We have been working closely with Council to put together a sustainable plan to ensure the continued operation of the Rattler, because it benefits so many other operators in the Gympie region.

“The heritage of the Mary Valley Rattler is important to the community, and as a volunteer-driven organisation, we believe there is good reason to continue the support for the Rattler as it returns to more normal trading conditions in the next few years.”

Cr Hartwig said the new deal would provide ratepayers with a clearer idea of what it is they are investing in.

A year ago Noosa residents were beginning a major clean up to rebuild their lives after a week marked by flooded houses, businesses and cars, cut roads, swift water rescues, people left stranded, food shortages and death after nature unleashed its fury.

Businesses were shut and houses impacted by floodwaters as multiple storms and torrential rain descended on Noosa for almost a week in an onslaught that hit many people by surprise.

A landslide on Black Mountain Road closed the road and 10 people were evacuated. A year on work continues to repair the damage.

During that week Noosa’s Disaster Management Group came together to form a coordination centre composed of multiple groups including Noosa Council, Queensland Police Service, Queensland Ambulance Service, Queensland Fire and Emergency Service, Coastguard, Energex, UnityWater, SLSC and Department of Community Services.

Police were called to more than 1000 jobs on the Sunshine Coast to assist people flooded in their homes and cars and close roads from Noosaville to Kin Kin. People were stranded on Noosa North Shore. A woman died at Kenilworth.

As always in Noosa the community rallied to help. Evacuation centres were opened. SES cleared trees and helped police provide emergency supplies of food and medication.

Many helped in the clean up.

Super fish triumphs again Cooroy’s super fish Clinton Stanley has surpassed his fundraising goal for The Starlight Foundation by swimming an astounding 70km over the month of February and raising $7000.

In this, his second year of the Starlight Super Swim Challenge, Clinton aimed to swim 60km across 28 days of the month and beat his previous year’s fundraising record of $5464.

With community backing he did more and thanked those who supported him and donated to the charity to bring joy to sick kids and improve their health.

“My friends from Sunshine Coast community helped me achieve my goal and I raised $7000. With you supporting me, I swam 70 kilometres,” Clinton said.

“You have brought happiness to sick kids and their families and I truly thank you for your kindness.”

Clinton, 45, has always loved swimming.

At 17 years of age he began competitive swimming and since then has represented Australia seven times and holds 79 Down syndrome world records.

He has been a member of Noosa Masters swim club since 2003, and since 2006, has volunteered with the Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesavers.

“I am the lucky one, even though I have an intellectual disability I am fit and healthy and live my dream, while every day a sick child is admitted to hospital in Australia,“ Clinton said.

Rising costs mean festival won’t Come Together in 2023

By Abbey Cannan A Noosa festival that has spent years raising money for disabled community programs will not be going ahead in 2023.

While thanking the major sponsors, event organiser Oz Bayldon is encouraging the community to get behind their local groups and donate what they can.

Last year the Noosa Come Together Festival attracted thousands and had grown to include three separate live music stages, specialty food trucks and market stalls, an epic kids’ field, and Noosa biggest laser show.

“Last year was huge. It was a massive festival, but we raised bugger all,” Oz said.

“The amount of effort that we put into that, versus the amount of ‘giving back’ that we’re giving, makes it hard. We have three major sponsors but that’s not enough to cover the event. We’re all doing this voluntarily and I have to look at our priorities. I’ve got charity events coming up in the Amazon and in Nepal, and that’s where my focus is at the moment.”

After hearing that Noosa Sailability was struggling to fund its sailing program for children and people with disabilities, a group of enthusiasts joined together to raise funds to ensure it would continue on the Noosa River, and the Noosa Come Together Festival- was born.

Since 2017, the annual event has brought the community together to enjoy live music from experienced musicians and showcase emerging local artists, while raising money for several disabled community programs.

Ineligible for Noosa Council Grants due to its fundraising aspect, the event runs annually with thanks to its sponsors, in-kind services from local businesses and donations for its online auction, musicians, and members of the community who volunteer their time and talents.

Unfortunately, due to increasing production costs, rising insurance premiums and limited sponsorship, the festival will not be going ahead in 2023.

Noosa resident Bob Birkhead said the

Noosa Come Together Festival event organiser Oz Bayldon. general community doesn’t understand the importance of this festival.

“I don’t think Noosa can afford to lose an event like this. It’s all about giving back,” Bob said.

“A community is a body of people who get together to try and make people’s lives better, and this bloke [Oz] does it all the time.”

Founder of The Active Community and Events4GreaterGood, Oz has a heartfelt focus on consistently raising money and awareness for numerous causes and charities, with music as the consistent theme.

Along with organising various music festivals and charity events, Oz also claimed the title for The Guinness Book of Records Longest Gig in London in 2005, World’s Coldest Gig in Mt Snowdon, and currently holds the world record for The World’s Highest Gig achieved in 2005 and 2014, with plans to make and break new records such as The World’s Longest Gig and The World’s Craziest Gig in the near future.

“Please donate to our local disability groups, and if anyone wants to get onboard with the festival next year, many hands make light work,” Oz said.

Since 2017, the annual event has brought the community together to enjoy live music.

Last year the Noosa Come Together Festival attracted thousands.

The Doonan offers a paddock-to-plate dining experience.

Doors open at The Doonan From page 1 Known for developing and operating some of Australia’s most successful hospitality and entertainment venues, the Comiskey Group has injected $200m into the Moreton Bay region with award-winning venues, Sandstone Point Hotel and Eatons Hill Hotel at the forefront.

“If they know our other venues like Sandstone Point Hotel, it’s very different to those, so when they come here, they won’t get the cookie cutter, it’ll be a totally different feel and something that is definitely worth travelling for,” Rob said.

The Doonan offers a paddock-to-plate dining experience, sourcing local food produce and craft beer made in the local breweries of the Sunshine Coast. The venue has a large outdoor dining space and playground, encouraging families to take a scenic drive to Doonan.

The property is home to a new cellar door which stocks beers, wines and spirits, with a focus on locally produced liquor.

Co-owner and Noosa local since 2017, Josh Jones said he was looking forward to sharing the venue with the community.

“It’s going to be good vibes. The Doonan is a hub of a hub. It’s casual dining but everything is going to look great on the plate,” Josh said.

“You will have your staple meals but we’ve also got an Italian pizzeria here. There will be a big focus on sharing dishes as well.

“The opening hours are going to be 10am10pm during the week and 10am-12pm during Friday and Saturday nights. The Bottle Shop is open 10am-9pm seven days a week.”

The private opening party of The Doonan took place on Sunday 26 February where friends, family, staff, and industry partners were able to take a taste of the menu, featuring delicious wood-fired pizza, gelato, and frozen margaritas.

The Doonan has been brought to life with the extensive renovation of the land’s existing structure.

Strange bedfellows united From page 1 But, as former Noosa Shire Council chief executive officer Brett de Chastel explained: “Amalgamations are successful where there is a set of common values or a shared sense of place. The Noosa and Sunshine Coast amalgamation never had that.”

On the morning of 18 April, as he sipped his post-exercise coffee at Cafe le Monde’s “table of knowledge”, Bob Ansett felt that Noosa was about to begin the fight of its life, and he had a strong sense of foreboding about it. But he’d been a fighter all his life, and he had plenty of allies. He only had to look across the table to know that. And in the restaurant just above them, the big and brash New Yorker, Jim Berardo, would be thrashing around, issuing orders for the day to his restaurant staff in between obscene sprays about Premier Beattie’s duplicity. These were strange bedfellows indeed, but they were fighters, and they were accustomed to winning.

Arguably the most important early development in the fight was the establishment of an organisation called Friends of Noosa (FON), which came out of a meeting called by Noosa Mayor Bob Abbot, with most of the more vocal opponents of amalgamation present. Although they’d had a nodding acquaintanceship since his arrival in town in the ‘90s, Jim Berardo and Bob Ansett weren’t friends and their personal styles were quite different, but Ansett admired Berardo’s fierce commitment to stopping an injustice, and agreed to join the board of Friends of Noosa (FON) under his presidency, with both men providing the public face of the defence organisation.

On 27 July, the Local Government Electoral and Boundaries Review Commission recommended a program of compulsory amalgamation that would reduce the number of local councils in Queensland from 157 to 73. On the Sunshine Coast, their recommendation was that Caloundra, Maroochy and Noosa councils

Huge protest rally in Brisbane, 2007. amalgamate to form a Sunshine Coast regional council. On 3 August, FON, along with Noosa Parks Association and other community organisations, marched on Parliament House to protest the amalgamations. More than 10,000 people turned out, the vast majority of them from Noosa, having arrived in buses organised

by Noosa council.

On the steps of Parliament House, Bob Abbot, who had been suffering from a kidney infection and checked himself out of hospital against doctor’s orders, whipped the crowd into a frenzy of righteous indignation and called on the government to take note of the will of the people. He then staggered back into the crowd, supported by his old colleague, former Noosa mayor Noel Playford.

On the issue of amalgamation, the two mayors were determinedly back to back, but it was too little too late, and the recommendations of the commission were passed into law amid great acrimony around the corridors of power in George Street, Brisbane, in the early hours of 10 August.

Picture: TONY WELLINGTON Former media executive Glen Elmes had won the seat of Noosa for the Liberals at the state elections in September 2006. He’d been in the House not quite a year.

He recalls: “I was absolutely opposed to it.

There were some councils where it worked but it didn’t fit Noosa. My colleagues in the Parliament were behind me all the way, so we started organising against it.”

Just before the dinner adjournment on 9 August, Elmes rose to speak against the Local Government Reform Implementation Bill: “This bill represents tyranny in its operation and the destruction of Noosa in its performance.”

It was a powerful speech, which in some ways defined Elmes’ stance on Noosa throughout his political career, but it fell on deaf ears because Beattie had the numbers. There were many in the House on both sides of the chamber who felt that it was a lost cause, that the Noosa elite should just suck it up and start living in the real world.

But they didn’t understand the strength of

The “declaration of war” scroll, 2007. commitment felt across the community. The battle lines had been drawn.

A few days after the Bill was passed, Glen Elmes and Jim Berardo stood on the steps of Parliament House in front of a media scrum and read a “declaration of war” from a scroll.

As media stunts go, this probably wasn’t their best work, but the declaration of war on the Queensland Labor government was deadly serious. The rationale was that Labor had been talking about this for years and wouldn’t give it up despite the clear and expressed will of more than 80 per cent of the Noosa population to remain an autonomous local council.

Regardless of political leanings, there was a growing belief that there was no point in trying to press the case with a government that had been in power for too long and many believed had lost touch with the people.

It was time to go to a higher authority.

Former Noosa MP Glen Elmes

Reflecting 10 years later Noosa Today asked some of the leading players in the de-amalgamation drama to reflect on the fight.

GLEN ELMES, former Noosa MP The Noosa community led the charge on the issue state-wide. We were better financed and strategically ahead of the game. More importantly, the old phrase people power, was central to the win. Make no mistake, our campaign and overall presentation was far superior to the other communities who wanted to de-amalgamate, but it wasn’t possible just to let Noosa Shire reform on its own, which is why Livingstone and Port Douglas were also recreated.

BOB ANSETT, de-amalgamation leader As time marches on it’s worth remembering that thousands of Noosa residents and employees worked tirelessly throughout a sixyear period to restore our council. And when

the Newman Government came into office, Glen Elmes helped us secure an opportunity to vote for our future. As it turned out we won the right to de-amalgamate Noosa from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Not only did we win, but we won with an unheard of 81 per cent of voters saying YES. TONY WELLINGTON, former Noosa mayor, de-amalgamation campaigner From 2008 I was fighting for Noosa from inside the belly of the beast, having been elected to the Sunshine Coast Regional Council on a de-amalgamation platform. That made me something of a pariah amongst my fellow councillors. Initially, Mayor Mark Jamieson had promised that he wouldn’t stand in the way of Noosa if it wanted a divorce. Like the rest of the councillors, he didn’t really believe it could happen. But when de-amalgamation became a real possibility, he went straight to

the trenches, rolling out a scare campaign that threatened massive rate rises for Noosa residents. I found myself in an ugly war with the mayor and many of my workmates.

DREW PEARSON, Friends of Noosa board member FON worked for many years to achieve deamalgamation. I know at times it seemed that the task was too great, but the determination of everyone involved was simply unshakeable.

I think the leaders of the various community groups realised that because our case for deamalgamation was so compelling that eventually a political event would occur that would see the Noosa Council reinstated.

JOHANNE WRIGHT, manager, Noosa Independent Alliance As the voluntary manager of the Noosa Independent Alliance (NIA), an alliance formed between Friends of Noosa, the EDV Resi-

dents Group, Noosa Biosphere Association and the Noosa Parks Association, and represented by their respective presidents, I was in a wonderful position to work closely with not only my fellow presidents and other NIA committee members, but to work with the behind the scenes players whose sterling efforts in the main have been left unsung and largely forgotten.

MICHAEL GLOSTER, former councillor, deamalgamation strategist My peak moment of exhilaration arrived one month before voting day [9 March 2013] when Noel Playford and I were confidentially briefed that the Yes vote would be between 75-80 per cent. A generous NPA member had commissioned a $30,000 pre-poll survey by one of Australia’s most respected market research companies. Only a significant campaign blunder by our side could deny us victory.

Managing Eastern Beaches Dogs on beaches and beach access have topped the list of issues raised by residents who voiced their opinions this week during Noosa Council’s community consultation for its Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan.

Council is calling on the community to provide feedback on the way Noosa’s Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserves are managed and is garnering public opinion through a series of information sessions, workshops, beach popups and online.

At a pop-up at Peregian Beach on Tuesday council’s environment officer Melissa Coyle said feedback from residents had focused on issues surrounding the access of dogs on beaches and facilities for dogs. People also raised issues about general beach access and dune erosion around beach access areas.

When the foreshore management plan was raised in council last year, much discussion focused on encroachment by private property owners on to council-owned land.

However Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said council planned to develop a separate policy regarding encroachment on to council land that would apply shire-wide.

The Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserves (EBFRs) are a series of eight naturally vegetated council-managed coastal foreshore reserves and near-coastal bushland reserves stretching more than 11.5km from Sunshine to Peregian beaches and covering about 122 hectares.

The draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan outlines the importance of these reserves, the community and environmental values of these reserves and the threats they face.

“Our goal in this Plan is to provide a guide for sound decision-making that protects all of these values,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

“To ensure the reserves are protected for future generations to enjoy, we’re formalising, in consultation with the community, how we look after these natural assets.”

Council environment and sustainable development director Kim Rawlings said mitigating coastal hazards and other climate change

Council officers Michael Lyons and Melissa Coyle with Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie at a Beach Popup at Peregian Beach. risks was fundamental to the plan.

“We’ll continue to see the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more intense and frequent storms and coastal erosion,” she said.

“The reserves play a key role in protecting Noosa residents from the impact of these changes, with their natural vegetation and landforms providing a natural buffering between the foreshores and our communities.”

The plan will also inform aspects of Council’s Environment Strategy and Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan.

Residents can read the draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserve Management Plan and submit feedback online at yoursay.noosa.qld.gov. au or visit the council booths across the shire at the following locations: Beach Pop-Ups, 7-11am: Thursday 2 March - Beach access 36, Tingira Crescent, Sunrise Beach.

The grants will be awarded to eligible notfor-profit community-based organisations that need assistance for various projects that will benefit Noosa and typically would align with council’s environment strategy.

Acting environmental services manager Rebecca Britton said council was pleased to be able to support projects that provide significant long-term positive impacts on the local environment.

The Environment Project Program Round 18 funding is for environmental projects

that make a positive and ongoing contribution to the region’s biodiversity, waterways, sustainable living and climate adaptation and resilience.

The multi-year Environment Grant Round 2 funding supports projects that run over several years to allow support of larger scale strategic initiatives.

Finally, the Climate Change Project Round 3 is to fund projects that will contribute to achieving net-zero emissions for Noosa Shire, assist Noosa Shire to transition to 100 per cent renewable electricity and increase residents’ capacity to reduce emissions and

Previous grants recipient Mary River Catchment Committee (MRCCC) received funding support for a variety of projects including its community citizen science program, Find a Frog in February.

MRCCC catchment officer Eva Ford said last year’s Find a Frog in February was a great success but would not be able to continue without support through the council’s environment grant program.

The environment grant application period closes at noon on Wednesday 12 April.

Driven batty by bat colony

By Margie Maccoll A group of elderly residents at Hibiscus Retirement Village have been stressed, sleep deprived and suffering headaches and respiratory issues since a large colony of bats decided to make their home in a narrow stretch of trees known as the Waratah Reserve at their back doors.

Pam and Bill Birch moved from the country to their retirement village unit about eight years ago, attracted to the site, in part, because it backed on to a strip of bushland.

On Monday they said they would happily sell up and move because the bat colony was making their lives unbearable, but they are certain no-one would buy their unit now. A neighbour who recently moved to a nursing home has been unable to sell, they said.

“The smell is horrendous,“ Pam said.

“We have to keep the unit locked up.“ The Birch’s neighbour, 92-year-old Daphne, who has been a village resident for the past 23 years, said the bats had forced her to live locked inside her unit, which without airconditioning, only ceiling fans, has been hot, uncomfortable and isolating.

“It changes your lifestyle,“ she said. “It’s the noise and I can’t hang out the washing. I can’t go into the garden - I love my garden.“ Each evening residents watch as the flying foxes take to the skies in unison to forage for food, leaving behind the babies they have nurtured since arriving at the site.

“It’s quite frightening,“ Pam said of the evening exodus.

“They’d be fascinating if it wasn’t so distressing.“ Pam, who is on the village committee, said residents had written to Noosa Council for assistance.

She said a council officer visited, counted 650 flying foxes, but said there was nothing council could do about the protected species.

Pam said the flying foxes arrived about 12 months ago at the back of their property with the population increasing dramatically since October.

Mayor Clare Stewart visited the residents on Monday to view the situation.

Residents have been notified by council of a meeting arranged on 8 March at the village to discuss the situation, calling for residents to forward any questions prior to the meeting.

Council’s Acting Environment manager Rebecca Britton said Grey-headed and Black Flying-foxes have been roosting in the Waratah Reserve for at least the past decade, with numbers remaining relatively stable at less than 1000 or so bats.

“Recently the roost has grown significantly due to a large seasonal influx of Little Red Flying-foxes,“ she said.

“Council appreciates the impact this is having on nearby residents.“ “Little Red Flying-foxes seasonally migrate to Southeast Queensland coinciding with the annual blossoming of bloodwoods and other eucalypt species.

“Typically, they arrive from late Spring and can establish roosts in any location. In Autumn

they tend to vacate the shire, often overnight, to inland and northern Australia.

“With the onset of cooler weather, residents impacted by Little Red Flying-fox roosts should soon experience relief.“ Rebecca said council worked closely with residents most impacted by the noise, smell and mess associated with living near flyingfoxes and its Flying-fox Subsidy Program offered subsidies to eligible residents for products and services which may help ease flying-fox related impacts.

Flying-foxes and their roosts are protected under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the Commonwealth Environ-

a very challenging time for residents located close to Waratah Reserve and we will continue to work closely with them.“ Rebecca said it was important to note that the risk of catching diseases directly from flying-foxes was extremely low.

“Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) is not spread through droppings or urine but can only be caught from bites or scratches from infected bats,“ she said.

“Residents should never touch or handle a sick or injured flying-fox. Instead, contact RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625) for help.“ For more information on flying-fox health visit Queensland Health.

ment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

The Acts prohibit unauthorised disturbance to flying-foxes, or interference with roost habitat.

“While council doesn’t support flying-fox dispersal as the outcomes are unpredictable and it’s usually unsuccessful, we’re working with the Department of Environment and Science and expert wildlife consultants to monitor Waratah Reserve flying-fox numbers, the size of the roost and its impact on residents,“ Rebecca said. “We are preparing a Flying-fox Roost Management Plan to evaluate future management approaches for this site.

Big tennis has gone mad

By Phil Jarratt With Australia’s summer of tennis officially wrapped up two weeks ago in Burnie, Tasmania, Noosa’s Wimbledon and Grand Slam veteran Ron McKenzie’s blood is finally heading south of boiling point.

At the height of the Australian Open controversies in late January, the 81-year-old Noosa Waters resident wrote to Noosa Today: “Every year at this time my temperature rises at the sheer inanity of the anonymous officials who make decisions about the rules of tennis.

The latest piece of crass stupidity is allowing coaching during a match. I nearly smashed my TV when the commentator stated that Casper Rudd was asking his father where he should stand to receive serve!

Tennis grand slams, or at least the men’s singles events, are an incredible test of skill and athletic speed and stamina where the single aim is to beat your opponent.

How anybody with any tennis knowledge could think that allowing coaching would help the contest or spectacle is beyond me.”

Clearly a product of his times, long before gender equality in sport was a thing, Ron continued his rant: “I played all the grand slams in the ‘60s, albeit as a very mediocre hacker. Back then men were real men and the rule was that play was continuous.

I played Wimbledon three times and there were no breaks, not even after the third set. After three years on the circuit neither myself nor any of my opponents had ever left the court for a toilet break.

This week Djokovic wanted a break before he had started! Players blatantly abuse the system calling for trainers, toilet breaks, medical time outs, different coloured underpants and whatever else they decide is reasonable, but only when they are losing.”

Ron signed off as “Ron McKenzie (irritable, geriatric octogenarian)”.

I decided to drop into his Tewantin office to see if maybe his bark was worse than his bite. A tall, upright fellow with a moustache of Newkian proportions (“I had mine before he had

black and two in the other fist.

Clearly a man of manners and a stickler for punctuality. We’re off to a roaring start.

While Ron pulls out some memorabilia, including the program from his first Wimbledon in 1963, we talk about his years on the circuit: “The first year I toured with a friend and after the season was over we stayed in a flat in Putney over Christmas and both got jobs.

I sold ski boots in Lillywhites in Piccadilly Circus until the circuit began again on the Riviera.”

At the end of the European season, travelling from tournament to tournament in an old car with a couple of mates, Ron heard that the American players association had organised a free charter flight to Forest Hills, so he hopped on and played in his only US Open.

He recalls: “After that I was on the West Coast and looking for the cheapest passage home.

I ended up on a Swedish freighter from Los Angeles to Brisbane, chipping rust off the deck every day for 17 days to pay my fare.”

It all sounds like a grand adventure, but Ron remembers tough times along the way.

“I think the difference between my day and now is that most of the players are doing it for a living.

“In my time only the greatest could make a living, the rest of us were doing it for the experience and the adventure, not expecting any money, just hoping to survive.

And the depth of talent today is a thousand times what it was back then.

“I got into Wimbledon three times without having to qualify, that tells you something.

At Wimbledon we got 50 pounds for expenses and free lunch tickets for the players’ restaurant, and also two guest passes every second day for the centre court, which we flogged for 20 quid.

Now you get $85,000 if you’re in the first round!”

Like new Tewantin Tennis Club coach Pete Taylor, Ron takes some pride in having been a “journeyman”, but he had his moments over a decade of top flight tennis.

“I beat some good players in my time. I beat John Newcombe in the semis in a big country tournament in Warrnambool, then lost to Tony Roche in the final.

I was always fairly realistic about my ability, that I was nothing flash.

“I was top 10 in Victoria at a time when there were no national rankings, and I played to the best of my limited ability.

I got into Wimbledon the first time because I beat UK number one Billy Knight in Manchester two weeks before.

That was splashed all over the papers, ‘Aussie unknown beats our number one’.”

Ron puts the changes in the modern game down to the enormous prize money now on offer.

“The gradual growth of prize money changed the game. I remember playing the

First Nations mentors to support creative business

St Andrews Year 10 team win gold at ethics Olympiad.

Ethical gold Five year 10 girls from St Andrew’s Anglican College are now international champions.

The team from the Peregian Springs-based school, won the gold medal in the International Ethics Olympiad on Thursday 23 February.

Sophie Turner, Madeline White, Abbie Tremlett, Lucy Shelley and Samadhi McLennan also secured their place in the history books as the first Queensland team to win a medal in this competition.

Forty schools from around the globe, including one from every state in Australia competed in the online event which, consisted of three heats, which went over a four and a half hours.

Teams discussed ethical theories across a

range of eight case study scenarios and were scored according to criteria that rewards clear, concise, respectful discourse around interesting ethical cases.

“They worked hard to prepare for this final and were a little anxious as this was our first year competing in the competition,” head of thinking and learning enrichment Jillian Green said.

“They were having high level discussions on consequentialism, utilitarianism, deontology and virtue ethics.

“It was so good listening to our students undertake such depth of analysis on some very difficult topics and were great representatives of the College.”

First Nations creatives who are looking to start a new business or grow an existing one can, for the first time, take part in three mob-only sessions in addition to the core 10-week Refinery program as part of a new First Nations-led series.

Sunshine Coast Council Arts Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said Council was a major investor in The Refinery and nominated program partner, Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance, the region’s peak arts body, to deliver the main program.

“We’re now concentrating on adding even more value to the already successful program with a dedicated First Nations Led stream,” Cr Baberowski said. “Our Creative Development team identified an opportunity to better support First Nations Refinery participants and encourage more applicants.

“As a result, we’ve added another five placements to the program, which will be allocated to First Nations creatives with successful participants taking part in both the main program as well as a dedicated First Nations led series.

“The series will be curated and facilitated by leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mentors and creatives and delivered by council.” Sunshine Coast Council’s First Nations Creative Development officer Cholena Hughes said they had observed a need to address culturally specific business requirements within the program.

“Blak Business is different to general business,” Ms Hughes said. “First Nations people operating business have to consider cultural protocols, especially if there’s a focus of culture in the business.

“We’re adding Mob Only spaces that are First Nations-led so that culturally specific

Sediment overload worry

By Margie Maccoll Sediment plays a critical role in supplying nutrients to ecological systems in waterways but Noosa’s urbanisation has led to changes to the natural waterway, the distribution of sediment and the waterways natural uptake of it in mangroves and wetlands, resulting in excessive sediment levels impacting the ecosystem.

Funded by The Nature Conservancy and Noosa Parks Association with assistance from the Noosa Men’s Shed, aquatic ecologist Dr Simon Walker of Ecological Service Professionals, has been conducting the Noosa Sediment Accumulation Study.

Excess fine sediment in the Noosa estuary has been implicated in a reduction of diversity in benthic invertebrates and changes in the extent of important estuarine habitats such as seagrass meadows and mangroves, Dr Walker said last Friday in a talk on the study at Noosa Park’s Association’s Friday Forum.

He said understanding the patterns and drivers of sedimentation rates was important to inform management decisions for Noosa River.

Sediment transports energy from hinterland areas along rivers and flood plains to the near shore environment. Particularly during floods, sediment is spread across wetlands and mangroves, deposited in varying quantities along the meandering waterway, enriching the habitat.

“When we develop rivers we straighten them, protect properties with rock walls. During floods it speeds up the flow of the river, creates more sediment build up and makes floods catastrophic,” Dr Walker said.

“There’s been substantial disruption through the catchment due to excess sediment, particularly during floods.

“Too much of a good thing can go bad,” he said, adding that nutrients sediment carried toxins and pollutants.

Sediment buildup is evident in Noosa River.

Noosa Sediment Accumulation Study used sediment collectors made by Noosa Men’s Shed.

“Excess sediment causes build up, loss of natural systems and results in a negative downhill slide.

“We know the Noosa system has changed over time. We have changed the entrance to the river. There’s been extreme modification to the natural sponges (such as mangroves) that would have soaked up the sediment and sediment lasts for a long time.”

Dr Walker’s study builds on previous studies conducted in recent years on the Noosa River.

A University of Queensland project looked at the ecological diversity in the benthic layer (river bottom) and found diversity of species including shellfish and crustaceans dropping off over 20 years.

Seagrass mapping has identified substantial changes in distribution of seagrass and decline with no seagrass now occurring upstream of the car ferry, little in the river mouth and deposits mainly restricted to areas of Lake Doonella and Weyba. There’s been a loss of 23

hectares of seagrass with an 83 per cent loss of sea grass over the past 33 years.

Seagrass decline has resulted from sediment excess which has caused decreased light needed for plant growth due to increased water turbidity, direct smothering from sediment and an inability of seeds to sprout due to being buried in sediment.

Other river studies have included annual reports by Healthy Land and Waterways on water quality and ongoing water quality monitoring by Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA).

Dr Walker’s study included the measuring of sediment distribution over 30 sites along the river and lakes using a collection device built for the purpose by Noosa Men’s Shed. The results are to be collated in a map marking the variation in sediment buildup across the waterway and Dr Walker hopes to co a sediment fingerprint that would link sediment back to its source.

Sediment excess is a problem being experienced in waterways globally and management options are available, Dr Walker said.

“We need big manoeuvres to make big changes to go on into the future,” he said.

Among the options in use around the world is the rewinding of rivers - returning rivers to their natural state, reintroducing its meanders and creating areas for sediment to be deposited.

“If you keep the edges intact with vegetation it will slow down the water flow and allow sediment to spread,” he said.

Other places like the Yarra River in Melbourne have created floating wetlands to absorb the sediment.

“All management cost dollars, but it can’t just be about planting trees. In terrestrial systems it’s more complicated,” he said.

Types of things that should happen include restoring the function of the wetlands, providing buffers to water flow and restoring the hydrology.

Other options include dredging which already occurs in the Noosa River or vacuuming sediment from the river floor and using it to build habitat.

“Wetlands are declining faster than the world’s forests,” Dr Walker said.

“Now is the time to do something.”

Bony Mountain Pink Ride brings endurance riders together from throughout Queensland and Northern New South Wales in fight against breast cancer. ERLE LEVEY got amongst the colour and the horses.

Pink ride for breast cancer

By Erle Levey We can confront a serious issue by bringing some light-hearted moments into our lives.

The McGrath Foundation has shown this with their Pink Test at Sydney Cricket Ground that was launched in 2005.

It’s a similar story with the Bony Mountain Pink Ride for Breast Cancer.

Hosted by Warwick Trail and Endurance Riders Association, this month marked 18 years of holding the charity event - with just two years missed due to wet weather.

Queensland Endurance Riders Association (QERA) president Dick Collyer said the Warwick club was formed in the late 1960s.

This year’s event was significant for a number of reasons.

It is not simply a fundraiser for the fight against breast cancer but an event that highlights awareness within the community of the threat the disease presents.

Nine Australians lose their life every day to breast cancer.

The fact is that cancer doesn’t just happen to those diagnosed, it impacts the whole family.

The McGrath Foundation has become one Australia’s most recognised and respected charities since Jane and Glenn McGrath’s very public experience with breast cancer. And the Pink Cricket Test has taken on many different aspects to provide support to those facing cancer.

Bony Mountain also provides a chance for riders to judge the fitness of themselves and their horses for the year ahead.

This year’s event was highlighted by the life membership awarded to club secretary Jenny Noffke, who has dedicated more than 35 years to the sport.

The award came as a complete surprise to Jenny, who said there were others who had been in the sport just as long.

Jenny explained that the idea of having riders and horses dress up in pink for the ride was about approaching a serious issue in a lighthearted way.

“I don’t do this for me ... I do it for all the women who have fought breast cancer and survived.

“And all the women who have fought and not won, in the hope that one day we don’t have to fight.

“There are a lot of people who know someone or have someone who has suffered from breast cancer.

“Women have a one-in-four chance of getting breast cancer.

“Nearly everyone knows someone who has it or has died from it.’’

Three weeks before the ride a good friend of Jenny’s was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of breast cancer.

Jenny also tells of a sister who had breast cancer 30 years ago and is still a survivor. Her daughter has the gene as well.

“The genetic part is always going to be there - but if we can get early diagnosis and treatments - and maybe even a vaccine - it would save thousands of lives.’’

Jenny has grown up with horses and started endurance riding in 1987, when the Warwick Trail and Endurance Club was based at Maryvale.

Living at Maryvale at that stage, she took part in the 50km ride.

Jenny started riding in England on her fifth birthday.

Her parents travelled widely as her father worked in heavy engineering.

As a result, Jenny got to ride horses in some weird and wonderful places. This included polo ponies on the beach in Nigeria at the age of 10, and then in Libya when Muammar Gaddaffi came to power.

Her grandfather was in the British cavalry and told the five-year-old Jenny to always put her horse first.

“He told me to look after your horse, and not to expect tea until your horse has been fed and groomed.

“He’d sit with me as I cleaned my bride and 18 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 March, 2023

Riders set out through fields of sunflowers in the 40km Saturday event at the Bony Mountain Pink Ride for Breast Cancer. 320630 saddle - and point it out if I missed something.

“As a result I’ve always been super-cautious and careful with my gear and looking after my horse.

Jenny’s advice now is ride to your horse’s capabilities.

“From a people perspective … go out there and have fun. Enjoy the horse and scenery don’t worry about where you’re coming.

“Everyone likes to win or place but the most important thing is to do that distance and be fit enough to be able to go out and do it again.

“With endurance riding, to complete is to win.

“To get through under whatever conditions, is to win.

“You need to adapt. One lady came through just four minutes before cut-off time - she was in so much pain and rode the last 50km in agony but she got through.

“They’re the heroes - that’s courage.’’

The 2023 Pink Ride was the perfect opportunity for a lot of riders to get 20km and 40km rides under their belt, Jenny said.

“We do so many rides over those two days, but it’s a flat track with one small undulating hill.

“It gives the more experienced riders and horses a feel of how things are going before the ridgy-didge points start.

“Is the horse and rider’s fitness at the level it should be?

“This weekend gives them a feel of the future.’’

With horses as well as riders and supporters being encouraged to show their backing of breast cancer by dressing in pink it allows some to really go to town.

“Some of the younger riders did a marvellous job,’’ Jenny said. “The way they painted their horses pink was brilliant.

“They are putting a light on this serious issue and getting a bit of fun out of it as well.’’

Since its inception, the ride has gone from strength to strength, with competitors from throughout Queensland and Northern New South Wales taking part.

There were 140 entries overall, in 20km and 40km events on both Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, as well as a six-km on the Saturday.

Saturday’s 40km event saw 50 entries with 88 percent completion rate while Sunday’s ride had 42 entries and a 92 percent completion.

The Bony Mountain Pink Ride is always an

enjoyable weekend, and momentum for the year ahead in endurance riding is really building.

Riders were excited at the prospect of what the year is about to deliver in regard to some enormous rides.

“People have new horses,’’ Jenny said, “and it’s the perfect opportunity to see how they respond in a semi-stressful state with other horses around.

“They are taken out of their comfort zone, so it’s a good chance to see how they are travelling in a foreign environment.’’

Jenny said the feeling in 2023 has been more relaxed as last year everyone was still observing Covid protocol and there was anxiety about flooding.

“This year, everyone seems happier. They understand that Covid is here to stay in one way or another, and we’re getting our heads around it now - it’s not such a big deal anymore.’’

The 2023 endurance riding program involves getting riders and horses qualified for the Tom Quilty 2023 in June at Imbil.

Many are also still deciding or planning to do the historic Winton to Longreach ride a month later. That ride is to celebrate 100 years of the Queensland Country Women’s Association but also recreate the rides of the 1980s and ’90s to promote the Stockman’s Hall of Fame.

“There’s a sense of excitement about the Tom Quilty and it seems to be driving everyone’s motivation to get their rides up and stay fit,’’ Dick Collyer said.

“A lot are talking about the Easter Riding Carnival at Imbil over Easter that includes a 320km marathon, and the Stirlings Classic, also at Imbil, in May.’’ From a spectator’s point of view, the Bony Mountain Pink Ride highlighted the way people networked in regard to horses but also for personal support and for issues such as breast cancer.

The venue was spectacular. The conditions were beautiful, especially for the Sunday ride that set out at 5am.

The Saturday rides were put back 30 minutes due to the warm weather, with the 40km event starting at 3pm.

You couldn’t help but be amazed by the young riders - some aged six, eight, and 10 years old who took part in the 6km ride on early Sunday morning.

Then 10 and 12-year-olds competing in the 40km event who are already looking forward

to competing in much longer events this year.

“There’s always been a reasonable cohort of junior riders,’’ Dick Collyer said.

“It’s not a sport that appeals to a lot of kids... it’s not fast, play the game and win as a team but rather it’s a sport where you can test yourself.

“We see instances where the whole family is coming through, and that’s a good thing mum and dad supporting or tagging along.

“We look to provide a safe environment.

If you can look after a horse, you would hope they understand responsibility.

“They have to do a lot planning, thinking, and saving money.’’

During the weekend we met riders and families who had driven from more than four hours away, after school.

They simply got in the truck, drove down and set up camp for the night.

Then there were fly-in, fly-out mining workers who looked forward to riding as a way of grounding themselves.

Volunteers came far and wide as well. People such as Ray Vlad from Hamilton in Brisbane, who used to work at the shipbuilding yards on the Brisbane River.

Dressed in his distinctive pink flamingo shirt and cowboy hat, Ray has been around horses for many years and was doing the temperature, pulse and respiratory (TPR) checks.

Born in Hungary just after World War Two, right near the border with Ukraine, his playmates would be from Ukraine and they could just jump across the border any time they wanted to play.

Ray’s enthusiastic engagement with the horses and riders is an example of how contagious the energy among volunteers at Bony Mountain can be.

The Pink Ride highlighted how happy everyone was to be back riding. The energy was there, and people were up for a story.

They were enjoying each other’s company, and sharing their ambitions for what they want to achieve this year.

Riders of all ages were organised and committed to what they’re doing, which showed so much respect for their horses.

In addition, the willingness and professionalism of volunteers, led by veterans of the sport such as Jenny Noffke and Dick Collyer, demonstrate the ongoing commitment to make important events like this possible.

Olivia try on their 1850s garb.

Not for the faint-hearted, this grisly two-part series investigates the cause of the deaths of two of Britain’s most famous and historically significant monarchs – Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) and King Charles II (1630-1685).

In each episode, Professor Alice Roberts and forensic pathologist Dr Brett Lockyer conduct simulated autopsies on each of the rulers using a blend of prosthetic bodies, toxicology testing and forensic analysis. Tonight’s postmortem examination brings to life the final days of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign.

VERA ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

Devoted fans of this long-running detective drama can breathe a sigh of relief – no-nonsense sleuth DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn, pictured) will return for at least one more instalment after this latest four-episode run wraps up next week. Rest assured, Vera isn’t hanging up her iconic green mac and fisherman hat just yet.

In tonight’s penultimate episode of season 12, simply titled “Blue”, Vera gets her teeth stuck into another baffling mystery when a second-generation police officer is found dead floating in a park lake.

The unorthodox but perceptive crimesolver treads carefully on both sides of the thin blue line as she bids to uncover the truth.

Propelled by an energetic beat and an unforgettable horse-riding dance, the viral phenomenon went on to become the first video to rack up one billion views on YouTube. In this series premiere, dapper host Alexander Armstrong visits Gangnam, the Seoul district immortalised in the catchy tune. He even gets the chance to record a K-pop banger of his very own.

PETstock Noosa will play host to its local animal rescue organisation.

National Pet Adoption Month is the perfect opportunity to meet pets searching for a new family.

Pets for adoption in Noosa On Saturday 18 March, PETstock Noosa will play host to its local animal rescue organisation as part of National Pet Adoption Month, an initiative of The Petspiration Foundation (formally PETstock Assist) with support from event partner PetRescue.

With one in five families adding a new dog or cat to the family unit in recent years, the Petspiration Foundation is encouraging Australians to Adopt Different this National Pet Adoption Month by considering a pet most in need, with more than 7400 animals currently looking for a forever home.

Sherralea Cassidy, Petspiration Foundation’s charity and events lead, said the charity was on a mission to have cats, large dogs, adolescent dogs and bonded pairs that can’t be separated, adopted as they remained the most vulnerable in 2023.

“All pets deserve a safe and loving home, and National Pet Adoption Month is the perfect opportunity to meet pets searching for a new family,” Sherralea said.

Natural disasters, increasing living costs, inflation and access to housing are impacting pet ownership and leading to surrenders of pets.

PetRescue founder and director, Vickie Davy, is seeing great dogs coming into rescue care, ready for a new home, even if some training is needed.

“The fact is that only a small percentage of pets are surrendered due to their behaviour which - like any animal - can be negated through dedicated training,” Vickie said.

Animal behaviourist, Dr Kate Mornement, said, many rescue pets have been house pets in the past and are already toilet trained, with basic manners so you’re not starting from scratch - it’s about reinforcing the existing desired behaviours and building on these.

“There are so many options when it comes to adoption. Cats are wonderfully intelligent animals, fantastic for any size home, and can be easily trained (just like dogs) using positive reinforcement,” Kate said.

“I also encourage would-be rescue pet owners not to be put off by a large dog because you think it will need more exercise, as it is very much dependent on the breed, age and individual personality of the dog.

For those concerned about being in the office and leaving their pet, a bonded pair could be the answer as they have each other for company.”

The Petspiration Foundation exists to strengthen the rewarding bond between pets and people and has found homes for more than 13,000 rescue pets since its inception in 2007. 6.9 million Australian households currently are pet owners.Animal lovers are encouraged to visit petstock.com.au in March to find a pet that needs a forever home.

On Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 March head to selected PETstock stores to meet rescue pets available for adoption or fostering.

SAVE THE DATE What: PETstock Noosa’s National Pet Adoption Day When: Saturday 18 March Time: 10am – 2pm Where: PETstock Noosa, Noosa Homemaker Centre, 18 Thomas Street, Noosaville.

Who: Local partner rescue groups will be available for expert advice, with rescue pets available for adoption or fostering

PETstock Noosa’s National Pet Adoption Day is on Saturday 18 March.

Coastal fox is a dangerous pest that must be stopped The battle against one of the most serious threats to Sunshine Coast native wildlife is about to resume.

To protect native animals, Sunshine Coast Council is running its Coastal Fox Control Program, for the ninth year.

Fox control will be undertaken in coastal areas of known activity between the Maroochy River and Peregian Beach.

Starting 27 March, the program area includes council-managed and state-managed lands as well as some private properties.

The aim of program is to decrease fox populations at a time when they are particularly active and to reduce their predation on vulnerable native species.

These include spotted tail quoll, water mice, Eastern ground parrots, as well as the endangered green and loggerhead turtles at the egg and hatchling stage.

The European red fox was deliberately introduced to Australia for recreational hunting in 1855 and has become a significant contributor to native animal decline 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 March, 2023

across the nation.

This autumn trapping campaign involves using soft-catch foothold traps placed across selected bushland and private properties in areas of known fox activity. Traps are checked daily or continuously by telemetry camera.

Control activities are conducted by qualified and experienced invasive animal officers.

Officers operate under council’s policies and procedures and in line with Queensland’s animal welfare laws.

Environment Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said this latest program would help protect the Sunshine Coast’s native wildlife from this introduced species.

“Foxes pose a serious threat to unhatched turtle eggs and threaten species such as the endangered Mary River turtle, and green and loggerhead sea turtles,’’ Cr Suarez said.

“They’re also a threat to our livestock and domestic animals – especially chickens.’’

Sunshine Coast Council, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Coolum and

North Shore Coast Care and Noosa Council will work together to carry out this program.

Residents living near the program areas will be notified. Residents are reminded it is their responsibility to ensure their pets’ safety and not let them roam.

Areas included in the control program will be clearly identified by warning signs at all entrances.

If you spot a suspected fox den in the program area, report it to council on 5475 7272.

You can also view the fact sheet to learn how to identify a fox den on council’s website.

The European red fox is a restricted pest under the Queensland Government Biosecurity Act 2014.

Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, managing biosecurity, which includes invasive animals and plants, is a key responsibility of council and every Sunshine Coast resident.

More information about the program is available on council’s website.

#EmbraceEquity Honouring those who came first

Mayor Clare Stewart with daughter Amelia and mum Noelene Sultmann.

I am fortunate to be the mother of three children, my third a daughter who will, as time goes on, realise the significance of celebration and the importance of coming together.

When I think of International Women’s Day and the message I would like my daughter to know and the lessons she should learn, I will tell her the following: I will tell my daughter that anything is possible, that her education will provide her the same opportunities as her brothers. I will tell her to

Noosa and District Landcare Group Inc (NDLG) is proud to have a team of dedicated, talented and passionate women helping lead the protection of our unique local landscapes for us all to enjoy. The organisation is bucking nationally-low work-sector percentages by striving to #EmbraceEquity for women every day. Women in our workplace:

study hard. To surround herself with loyal and like-minded girlfriends. To embrace the gifts that she has been given. To work hard at whatever she chooses and to never be afraid of having a go. I will tell her ‘dare to fail’ even when the odds are against her.

It won’t be easy, yet nothing in life worth having is. Yet, perhaps most importantly, I will tell my daughter that when adversity strikes, and trust me it will, what will define her is how she handles it. Her attitude, her ability to cope, her resilience. I will tell her that two steps forward are often followed by one step back but that is life’s challenge for us all. To move forward in the face of adversity. That, for me, is the greatest lesson I can teach my daughter and that indeed is something to celebrate and to come together for. As I share a picture of the two most important women in my life, my daughter and my mother I reflect on the words of Nicole Kidman, who in accepting her first Oscar win in 2003 said: “My whole life I’ve wanted to make my mother proud.

And now I want to make my daughter proud.”

Indeed, I do. Happy International Women’s Day. I salute all of you.

Like so many other celebrated dates, 8 March comes around all too quickly.

International Women’s Day is nearly upon us and women around the globe will come together. It’s a time for us as women, to reflect, unite and remember and most significantly celebrate.

It’s a day to think of all the women that have gone before us - the trailblazers, the suffragettes, those brave individuals who have been so strong and fought so hard for us to be in the position we find ourselves today.

Being the first woman to be elected Mayor of our magnificent shire, these women are always top of mind. It’s also a day to remember those women who don’t have freedom of speech, who are oppressed, marginalised, discriminated against, abused and demeaned because of nothing more than the fact that they were born a woman. It’s a day when we should hug our daughters, our mothers, our sisters and our girlfriends just a little tighter. We are all in this together and it’s our day to celebrate.

I’m fortunate enough to be the daughter of a woman whose sacrifices have enabled me to be where I am today, whose, love, care and support has made me the woman I am.

KATIE ROSE COTTAGE HOSPICE

Women of Hinternoosa Hinternoosa have been leaders in the hinterland property market for 34 years. They are a great example of how continually challenging gender stereotypes in the real estate industry, by promoting equal opportunities in their agency, have paved the way for their success. With a skilled team, over 50% of which is female, backed by strong female leadership, Hinternoosa #embraceequity.

Katie Rose Cottage Hospice welcomed Leigh McCready to the team one year ago, in the newly created role of Head of Fundraising & Partnerships. Leigh had previously been assisting us with fundraising advice in a voluntary capacity and helped secure a federal grant of $1.5m to extend our facility to five guest rooms.

In her short time with us, Leigh has created two new bespoke events for Katie Rose, which not only help us with sustainability of income but also build awareness in the community of the work we do.

The teams female administrators, agents, property managers, Principal and Director all have extremely important roles to play at Hinternoosa, not only for client success, but also to demonstrate on a daily basis exemplary leadership and mentorship to those who will follow in our footsteps.

Leigh has built strong relationships with many local individuals and businesses who value the work that the hospice does in the community and has successfully engaged new supporters to generously donate their time and financial assistance.

Katie Rose Cottage Hospice is proud to celebrate Leigh on International Women’s Day this year.

#EmbraceEquity Samantha has been coaching corporates to become better public speakers for decades, and she particularly loves empowering women and children.

She loves to work with women who have overcome significant challenges, and coaches them to be able to share this on the world stage and inspire others via TED talks, social media and TV. “Unfortunately the tall poppy syndrome in Australia is still prevalent and as a result we have a culture that tends to be humble and minimise our achievements and credentials.

“My coaching is all about fertilising the tall poppy so that it stands tall, proud and blossoms in its full glory! I help women own their power and strength, acknowledge their credentials proudly, and be very mindful of the gifts they have to offer the world so they are ready and able to confidently and succinctly articulate this at every opportunity.

“Whether it be a boardroom meeting, the stage, social media or TV every interaction is a chance to make a great impression with your personal brand and being aware and proud of it is the first step.

Becoming a more articulate and confident communicator is empowering and will pay dividends socially and professionally for the rest of your life!”, said Samantha.

Lindell has lived in the Noosa area for 23 years after relocating with her family from Sydney in 2000.

In 2010, Lindell joined Coast2Bay Housing Group, the Sunshine Coast’s largest community and affordable housing provider. Lindell, as the Affordable Housing Manager for the organisation, lead the team that implemented the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) which saw 494 affordable housing properties built on the Coast. The 10 year Scheme saved eligible tenants 25% on market rent and many used the savings to purchase their own homes.

As a child growing up in Poland, I had no idea that one day I would have my own business in Australia, helping international people to achieve their migration dreams. So, after 15 years living in Down Under and 10 years running this company, today I am assured that I was always on the right pathway.

On International Women’s Day, BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast would like to celebrate the dedicated team of women who provide our free breast cancer screening services for their local communities.

At our Noosaville service in the Professional Centre, Goodchap St, we have our very experienced radiographer, Chris Drysdale.

Chris, who is a long time resident of the Noosa area, has worked for BreastScreen Queensland for 22 years and has been screening Noosa women for twenty years – first with the relocatable x-ray machine, before the current service opened in 2006.

Chris said “I enjoy meeting women from our community and looking after them when they come for a breast screen. The thing I love most about my job is the feeling that you’re helping local women by providing free breast cancer screening.”

The aim of screening is to detect breast cancer as early as possible. This gives women the best chance of effective treatment and increases survival.

BreastScreen at Noosaville is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday every week and one Saturday every month. Early and late appointments are also available.

Celebrating WomenKind

By Abbey Cannan Ahead of International Women’s Day, WomenKind Australia founder and chairperson Josanne Falla takes a look back at just how far the local not-for-profit organisation has come.

“Over the years, first in radio interviewing and talking to local women, I became really inspired by their resilience, their dedication, their determination, their grit and their grace,” Josanne said.

“I admired each woman that came to chat with me over the years and I wanted to do something to show their worth, let them be seen and heard... sing their praises to everyone.

“So, I set about connecting them, bringing them together to inspire and be with each other. We created retreats to showcase their knowledge, monthly breakfasts to connect and share, and then came lunches. We thought, if we could afford a nice meal, we could put $5 aside for those that couldn’t.”

This opened her eyes to some of the real problems that women and families in the Noosa area are facing.

“The Noosa circle needed more than just me and my small ideas,” she said.

“It needed to become a NFP to enable us to create a tribe, a team of helpers, to continue to make a good idea into something magnificent.”

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Councillor Amelia Lorentson supported the endeavours and a ball was created from nothing during the heights of Covid.

“We created not one but two balls, as we were closed down six hours before our first ball started, and then went in to create another four weeks later,” Josanne said.

Last year this small group of women raised the following for the community with your support: $280k for counselling services; $25k for homelessness; $5k for sexual abuse vic-

“Not too bad for our first year and a bit,” Josanne said.

This year, their aim is to create housing availability for domestic and family violence (DFV) families in the Noosa Shire.

“Yes, it’s a big need here. Everyone thinks it’s a rich area, but be assured it definitely is not, unless you want to buy a house,” Josanne said.

“Our Raise the Roof by Buying a Brick campaign has begun with over $50k raised already.

“We’ve had donations from Noosa Pirates, Sandy Bolton, Reed and Co, Alishwa.

“Once you pull your head out of the sand, you can’t unsee what is happening.”

Josanne acknowledged the women of the board, including Nicky Roche, Liz Bear, Magdalena Lyle, Char Elena Sommerville, Linny Studs, Narelle Cameron, Jules Rosenberg, Fiona Jacobs and Ruby Noos.

“These women are doing the hard slog behind every breakfast, lunch, and event. I am in gratitude and in awe for all they give,” she said.

“We of course have others helping out including you, our community. Thank you for your gifts, your donations and your sponsorships which help us help others.

“Special thanks to Peppers Resorts, Isabellas Fine Jewellery, Diablo Ginger Beer, Pomona Distillery, Suter, Cleine and Smith, Sails, Rococos, Beach Road Holiday Homes, Noosa Pirates, Chimu Adventures, Revival Wellness, Buy Local, Superfierce, Platinum Tax Solutions, Noosa Gift Co, and so many more who

Sustainable tourism Clean Up For 20 years Kanu Kapers has been a leading voice for truly sustainable tourism in Noosa.

The natural environment is at the core of its business, as is evident through its tours, operations and marketing. Its vision is to preserve the Noosa Everglades and promote and educate sustainable tourism to consumers, industry and community.

Says Kanu Kapers’ marketing director Hayley Gee: “We have promoted ecotourism to over 20,000 international guests. We have also given talks on sustainable tourism at industry events, in schools and we’ve formed partnerships. We are Biosphere partners, and work with similar minded organisations to raise awareness and funds for projects aimed at protecting the environment.”

In 2019 Kanu Kapers launched a carbon offset scheme for their guests, raising funds to purchase trees for koala habitat which are planted by local charity, Koala Crusaders. To date they have raised over $5000 and, since recently revising the scheme, donations are soaring. This is a valuable local partnership between a sustainable tour operator and a wildlife charity that also offers education to thousands of tourists to the Noosa region and reduces emissions through offsets.

In addition to environmental conservation, Kanu Kapers aim to negate the impact of carbon emissions caused by its operations.

In 2017 the organisation undertook a full environmental evaluation of its business. This concluded that its tours have very little impact and are carbon neutral as there is no use of motorised watercraft.

However, an impact from the carbon emissions produced by its guests and staff travelling to the launch site was identified. This trig-

gered researching how and where customers and staff were travelling to site and an analysis to define an emissions offset strategy.

Fast forward to now and Kanu Kapers have an eco-tree online carbon calculator for customer and staff use which calculates carbon usage on a kilometre basis. Based on the calculated outcome, the organisation requests a monetary donation to cover the estimated cost of the emissions. It generally equates to approximately $10 per car for a return journey from Noosa, which is what it costs Koala Crusaders to plant and maintain one tree.

The Kanu Kapers team pride themselves on meeting five of the global sustainable develop-

ment goals; sustainable communities, responsible consumption, climate action, life on land and partnerships.

Says Hayley: “The simple model of carbon offset calculation and local partnerships is something that can be easily replicated anywhere in the world. We find that customers want to give back after gaining so much from their experience in Noosa’s pristine nature. It makes both good business and good environmental sense to us.”

For further inspiration to support Noosa’s zero emissions goals, head to ZEN’s website zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au Join ZEN to donate to its work or help out with projects.

This Sunday 5 March, join the team at Pottery For The Planet to help clean up the Sunshine Coast.

From 8-11am, they will be collecting rubbish from Sunshine Beach in an effort to reduce plastic waste and keep the planet and our beaches vhealthvy.

Pottery For The Planet are giving away a prize of five Travel Kits (Reusable Travel Cup and Reusable Travel Bowl) for those who collect the most rubbish on the day.

Participants who collect the most rubbish on the day are in with a chance of winning one of these sustainable prizes. Attendees will be able to purchase from Pottery For The Planet’s Reusable Range onsite.

The Reusable Range includes the Original Travel Cup and Travel Bowl, Pottery For The Planet’s sustainable alternatives to single use coffee cups and takeaway lunch containers.

“Today the focus of Clean Up Australia is as much on preventing rubbish entering our environment as it is removing what has already accumulated,” chief executive officer of Clean Up Australia Day, Pip Kiernan said Clean Up Australia is the largest community-based environmental event in Australia and has been running since 1989. Since then, over 35 million volunteer hours have gone into cleaning up over 3,000 sites around the country.

What happened to me in 1974 As you get older one tends to think about things in the past.

Recently I have often thought of an event that occurred in 1974 in Noosa Heads that defined my life.

I am 65 years old, have been married for 42 years, have two fine sons, two great daughtersin-law and three beautiful granddaughters and have lived a wonderful life for which I am extremely grateful. This would not have been possible if a surfer had not rescued me in 1974 at Noosa Heads.

In 1974 I was 16 years old, in Form 5 at Shepparton Technical School and we embarked on a school bus trip to Central Australia.

We got caught up in major floods in SA so the decision was made not to go home but go to Queensland instead.

We got to Noosa Heads and I went for a swim in the surf with my mate Doug.

I was not a strong swimmer nor did I have any awareness of rips so it was not long before I was swept out to sea and in real trouble. I can still remember my feelings as the waves were breaking over me as I was gasping for air.

As panic started to set in, and as I was about to go under, a surfer went right past me at speed.

He must have seen that I was in trouble as he came back and took me back to shore. If he had not, I would have surely perished. I have no idea who he was and I am not sure if I even thanked him.

I often think I would like to acknowledge his good work but how could I do this?

Maybe he is still in the area and reads your newspaper and he may remember this event?

I surely do.

Free storage at Quamby Place Yes that’s right free trailer storage at Quamby Place in front of the tennis court and the park’s recreational area under the shade of the trees and street lights for added security.

You can take up as many parking spaces as you want for as long as you want with your trailer, boat, caravan or whatever registered trash you wish to leave for 11 days, 11 weeks, 11 months or, in the case of the man who lives on his catamaran between Noosa Woods and The Sound Park, you can permanently park for over 11 years, pay no council rates for your waste or river fees for mooring and fill up your jerry cans full of free water from Quamby Park.

Why is this allowed? …… because in 2019 Noosa Council removed the Sunshine Coast “Trailers Prohibited” sign - thereby opening the floodgates and encouraging others alike.

In support of Margie Maccoll, Trailer parking hurts Noosa (NT 27/01,) and John Robinson (NT 24/02) for passenger vehicles only with a time limited parking.

Noosa Council Transport & Traffic Infrastructure Planning may be forced to use the 4P timed parking solution which is the only mechanism left to help control this nuisance parking issue in Quamby Place, Noosa Sound.

As noted and voiced by residents and visitors to the shops, restaurants and professional businesses in Quamby Place are very much negatively impacted by this invasion of trailers because their customers have nowhere to park their cars (especially those with a pram or wheelchair).

The accommodation business would not be negatively impacted by timed parking because all the holiday resort units have off street car spaces.

So, having received numerous written complaints from the community, why has Noosa Council not acted to stop this opportunistic freeloader trailer litter?

Give devices a miss How sad to see a young couple at the beach boardwalk today, pushing a baby in a stroller no more than 12 months of age. What is sad is the baby was holding a phone engaged in the screen rather than the stunning scenery beyond the stroller. Put the phone away, enjoy the moment. There’s enough years ahead for that.

Walk off track Is Walk on track? asks Phil Jarratt (NT 24/2).

Reading between the lines and noting the

LETTERS

LENSCAPE

Barry Hanrahan snapped this stunning sunset over Lake Weyba from his balcony at Park Ridge three weeks ago. If you have a Lenscape please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au many issues and permissions still to be resolved, my answer is that the Cooloola Great Walk ecotourism project could hardly be more off track.

Phil Jarratt’s comments on the ‘one or two environmental groups opposed to it’ are very far from doing justice to the many independent, well-informed and financially disinterested parties who see this proposal as a total desecration of our shared natural environment for the profit and enjoyment of a privileged few.

The artist’s impression of a solitary glamping cabin is just that – an impression which attempts to convey the idea that this is a minimal impact project, which ignores the plans to include five or more such cabins on each site – 25 in total. It also overlooks the question of whether each cabin will have independent toilet and catering facilities, or will each site have separate facilities, further expanding the environmental footprint?

I could expand on the vagueness of the wording of this article which includes a few too many mays and mights as does the proposal in general, but I will leave this to others who can do so more effectively than I can. Instead, I would like to do something which the various proponents have conspicuously failed to do, at least publicly – attempt to forecast the economic viability of the project in the near and distant future.

CABN and Intrepid Travel must surely be aware that such a large investment cannot be expected to return a reasonable profit in the short term. The international market for adventure travellers who are willing and able to pay a substantial amount - in excess of $600 per night – plus travel and other costs, for a five day wilderness experience is surely limited. The total cost for a typical Aussie family of two adults and two children could amount to $10,000 or more – far more for overseas visitors.

Once the proposed Cooloola Great Walk has established a foothold, the proponents are very likely to pressure the authorities to further enable access for limited trips of two days or more, which could involve clearing more native vegetation to allow for all-weather 4wd tracks and even helicopter pads, expanding the environmental footprint by three to five times.

Finally, historical records show that all the sites are subject to adverse weather events, such as bushfire, flooding and extreme temperatures, which could confine usage of the glamping cabins to as few as seven to eight months each year, further diminishing the

economic viability.

In conclusion, I offer my own interpretation of the true value of our shared natural heritage, in particular of our precious National Parks: The only imprints we have the right to make on Nature’s evolving tapestry are our own fleeting footprints in the shifting sands of time.

Noel Bird, Boreen Point

National Parks for profit Michael Lamprell (CEO of CABN) says he “knows the truth” about the Cooloola Great Walk.

The truth is: this will be a development for profit in the National Park. Our taxes pay for the protection of National Parks, not the exploitation.

There will be clearing in the National Park.

There will be more tracks.

Sewage will have to be removed.

Water will have to be supplied.

There will be more people, staff and clients.

There will be more vehicles, boats and quad bikes.

Aren’t we already doing enough damage on the North Shore without adding to it with this development.

Why not employ the Kabi Kabi people to advise and work alongside the National Parks rangers to maintain, explain and protect the existing great walk trail. Perhaps the tourism subsidy could be used for this.

No matter what spin is put on it and how often the Kabi Kabi people are mentioned, this fragile sandy area should be protected from development.

Sue Mills, Boreen Point

Loved to death Three cheers for Scott Thorson’s letter last week and his very sensible suggestions to save Noosa from being loved to death. We saved our shire once before, rescuing it from amalgamation less than a decade ago, now we have to save it from being swamped by day trippers and STA visitors, most of whom spend little to benefit our business community.

In fact, instead of three cheers for Scott, it should be well over 30,000: one for each voter at next year’s council election. After three years of pro-business, pro tourism, pro events, anti conservationist and residents-be-damned, let’s save Noosa again by voting in a majority of environmentally astute and resident-friendly councillors. The amazing efforts of past lead-

ers have created the beautiful place we live in today. Previous councils worked on the basis that you make Noosa a paradise for local residents and tourism will prosper. The current mantra seems to be to make Noosa a paradise for outsiders, while residents have to lie back and think of England.

Hooray for Scott, would he like to stand for mayor ?

Susie Osmaston, Noosa Heads

Build gates Rather than adopt the proposals set out by Scott Thorson that will lead to a prolonged slow death of the Noosa economy, let’s bite the bullet. It’s time council erects massive gates on all the roads leading into Noosa and keep everyone out that doesn’t live here.

Aboriginal recognition While I thank Vivien Griffin for her comments regarding Australia Day, she is factually incorrect about what happened on 26 January 1949, when she states that Australian citizenship was not granted to Indigenous Australians along with non-Indigenous Australians on this date. I suspect Ms Griffin is confusing that date with the date that Indigenous Australians were given the vote, as she then goes on to talk about this in her letter. In fact, on 26 January, 1949, both non-Indigenous and Indigenous were recognised as Australian citizens (rather than British). There are many places online where Ms Griffin can learn more about this, so I’ll just quote one source, from the Australian Government’s Parliamentary Education Office website, where it states: “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were granted Australian citizenship along with all other Australians in 1948 (before this all Australians were British subjects). Citizenship did not give voting rights to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples though. This was guaranteed by the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1962.” Let’s have a mature debate to be sure, but let’s also make sure we stick to the facts.

Professional ballerina from Kiev, Ukraine, ANGELIKA BURROUGHS, who now teaches ballet to adults in Noosa, talks about the benefits of dance to physical and mental health.

Dancing cuts dementia risk As we age, we often become more susceptible to various health issues, including dementia.

Dementia is a condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior, and it is more common in older people. Fortunately, research has shown that engaging in ballet and dance can help reduce the chance of developing dementia in older people.

Ballet and dance require a great deal of mental and physical engagement.

Dancers must remember complicated routines and sequences, and they must also have the physical ability to execute those movements with precision. This mental and physical engagement is what makes ballet and dance such effective tools in reducing the chance of dementia.

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois found that dancing has significant cognitive benefits for older adults.

The study involved a group of adults over the age of 60 who participated in either a dance class or a fitness class.

The participants in the dance class showed significant improvements in cognitive function, including memory, attention, and taskswitching ability. The participants in the fitness class did not show the same level of cognitive improvement.

The benefits of dance on cognitive function can be attributed to the fact that dancing requires the use of several brain regions simultaneously. Dancers must use their visual, auditory, and motor systems in order to remember and execute dance routines. This constant mental engagement can help improve brain function and reduce the chance of cognitive decline.

In addition to the cognitive benefits of

Angelika teaches ballet to adults in Noosa. dance, there are also physical benefits that can help reduce the chance of dementia.

Ballet and dance can improve cardiovascular health, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve balance and coordination. These physical benefits are especially important for older adults as they can help prevent falls and other injuries that can lead to cognitive decline.

Another study conducted by researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that dance has a unique effect on the brain that can help reduce the chance of developing dementia.

The study involved a group of older adults who participated in either a dance class or a non-dance exercise class. The participants in the dance class showed a significant increase in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is responsible for memory and learning. The

participants in the non-dance exercise class did not show the same level of hippocampal growth.

The results of this study suggest that dance can help promote neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to reorganise itself and form new connections. This neuroplasticity is important in reducing the chance of dementia, as it can help the brain compensate for the damage caused by the condition.

In addition to the physical and cognitive benefits of dance, there are also emotional benefits that can help reduce the chance of dementia.

Ballet and dance are forms of expression that allow individuals to connect with themselves and others. This social engagement can help reduce stress and promote positive emotions, both of which are important in reducing the chance of cognitive decline.

In conclusion, ballet and dance are powerful tools in reducing the chance of dementia in older people. The mental and physical engagement required by dance can improve cognitive function, promote neuroplasticity, and provide emotional benefits that can help reduce the chance of cognitive decline. As we age, it is important to engage in activities that promote brain health, and dance is an excellent option for those who want to stay mentally and physically active. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a beginner, there are many ways to incorporate ballet and dance into your daily routine, and the benefits are well worth the effort.

First Nation fashion show A range of First Nations and slow fashion garments will be on show at a beautiful twilight event at Fairhill Native Botanic Gardens on Saturday 18 March.

Indigenous designer Julie Appo will join forces with local Sunshine Coast designer Louise Visser of Sinerji organic clothing, and fashion guru Linda Jackson to showcase a range of ethical fashion and accessories.

They’ve been brought together by Sunshine Coast wild/flower woman Sue Davis, who has connected with both designers through her wildflower walks, workshops, and art exhibitions.

The creative collaboration between the designers will feature local models showcasing a mix of Julie’s hand-painted and plain garments, selected fashion from Sinerji’s range, and a new collection of collaborative pieces with Sinerji garments embellished with Julie’s hand-painted designs.

Julie is a Gooreng Gooreng elder who has multiple degrees in fashion and visual arts and a passion for slow fashion over fast fashion.

Julie was one of the first recipients of the new Australia Council for the Arts Flourish fund for First Nations fashion and textile design.

Her project is focussed on establishing a new fashion line under the Gnarla Fashion label. Gnarla means message bird in Gooreng Gooreng language. Linda has been a creative mentor on the project.

Louise is the owner and designer behind Sinerji - an eco-label designed on the Sunshine Coast and made using organic natural fibres, non-toxic dyes, and fair-trade partnerships.

Linda Jackson has been a pioneering figure in fashion design since the early 1970s. Her successful label, Bush Couture, has seen her working closely with a range of Indigenous communities on textile designs, in particular Utopia Station in the Northern Territory and Daintree Rainforest Queensland. This year she

Julie’s dresses on display at Bundaberg show. has been working with Julie as part of Julie’s Australia Council funded project.

Julie Appo is excited to bring her work to the coast saying, “I’m interested in bringing people back to slow fashion, and creating garments that draw from the Australian landscape, my First Nations heritage, and rich collaborations with other artists. In coming to the Sunshine Coast I’ve been made to feel very welcome and there’s been a lot of interest in my work. So this is a great opportunity to create an event to show how artists, designers and different regional communities can work together.”

Her meeting with Louise immediately sparked new ideas and synergies in concerns and approaches.

Sinerji’s Louise Visser affirmed, “I couldn’t be

Louise Visser and Julie Appo. more thrilled to be collaborating with Julie on such a fun and creative project. After 16 years of designing my own signature fabrics, it’s exciting to joining with women of such strength.

“Julie’s passion for sharing art and story through fabric is something that I share. I’m honoured to have the privilege of working alongside her as a proud First Nations designer and hearing her very important yarns. Fashion can be a catalyst for change through the stories the fabrics can tell.

“To have Linda, a pioneering change maker alongside us both just adds the cherry on the top. This is going to be one inspiring event.”

All the women involved have a longstanding love of nature which is often reflected in their designs, and so it seemed the obvious

choice to hold the event at Fairhill Native Botanic Gardens, Yandina – one of the Sunshine Coast’s original native plant nurseries.

Fairhill has been experiencing a refresh and revival over the past year, and as well as the garden setting and plant range, is home to Catbird cafe. The soiree will include some of Catbird’s locally sourced, healthy Australian cuisine as well as a glass of bubbles on arrival.

Tickets for ‘Gnarla Sinerjies’ are $45 and $35 Concession (plus booking fee) and can be purchased on Eventbrite.

The show will begin at 5.30pm at Fairhill on Saturday 18 March.

Oriana choir concerts kick off with Mozart Vespers Acclaimed Sunshine Coast ensemble Oriana Choir will present its first concert for 2023, Oriana Sings Mozart Vespers and the Music of Ola Gjeilo on 23 April at Maleny Community Centre, 29 April at St John’s Cathedral in Brisbane and 30 April at Stella Maris School, Maroochydore.

The choir will be conducted by Kim Kirkman and accompanied by Oriana artistic director Fay Baker and a string quartet.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Vespers is a masterpiece of profoundly expressive and lyrical composition with shining, brilliant baroque allegros.

Mozart wrote the Vespers in Salzburg when he was 24 years old, shortly after his mother had died in Paris.

As with several other compositions from this period, he used this piece to work through his grief, especially apparent in the

Laudate Dominum, described as one of Mozart’s finest tunes.

Also being performed will be a selection of stunning and sublime works by contemporary Norwegian composer, Ola Gjeilo.

Past patrons of the choir will recognise the composer’s work from the choir’s celebrated productions of Sunrise Mass.

Ola Gjeilo is one of the most frequently performed composers in the choral world.

His emotionally charged compositions are admired for their hauntingly beautiful melodies and harmonies, moving lyrics and sparkling accompaniments.

“Oriana is so excited to be back for a new year of singing and we’re looking forward to inviting audiences to this concert series,” said president, Melissa Innes. “The music is joyful, moving, exhilarating and simply delightful.”

Powers Ultra Lager 24 pack Stubbies $48.00

Oriana choir will perform its first concerts of the year in April.

This concert series will be dedicated to the memory of late Oriana member, Alan Mackay-Sim. The 2017 Australian of the Year and a pioneer in biomedical research, to Oriana he

Threatened Go behind the scenes of latest greatest exhibition species plan Queensland is the custodian of a globally and nationally significant proportion of Australia’s biodiversity.

It is home to 50 per cent of the nation’s threatened species despite only representing 24 per cent of the landmass.

As at 31 August 2020, there were 1000 threatened species listed under Queensland legislation including 230 animal and 770 plant species. Of these, more than 40 per cent of the fauna and more than 70 per cent of flora are endemic to the state.

Despite recovery efforts by state and local governments and many non-government organisations, the threat of extinction is still very real for threatened fauna in Queensland.

What about Noosa?

On Friday 10 March Noosa Council’s fauna

management project officer David O’Gorman will outline council’s draft Threatened Fauna Recovery Road Map. The roadmap is intended to guide Council’s approach to the ongoing management of regionally threatened fauna.

Nine fauna species have been selected by council for prioritisation and development of species recovery plans.

Do not miss this opportunity to contribute to council’s plan. Everyone is welcome at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville from 10.30am and morning tea is available at 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door which includes morning tea/coffee.

Bursts of colour, dark and moody works and beautiful landscapes… ever wondered what goes into creating a major art exhibition?

As Latest & Greatest II, featuring many amazing pieces acquired into the Sunshine Coast Art Collection, opens at Caloundra Regional Gallery, its curator has shared some rare insights - literally taking us behind the scenes.

Sunshine Coast Council’s art collection curator Nina Shadforth said the tight fourday changeover period between exhibitions was a frenzy of excitement and activity that required all hands-on deck.

“We have opened Latest & Greatest II and our visitors are enjoying the serene space, marvelling at the works on show but blissfully unaware, as they should be, of the frenzy that ensued behind closed doors during the changeover,” Ms Shadforth said.

“For this very special exhibition, we had to gather the works from council buildings and libraries – where they may have been on display – and our collection stores, and then create a neutral backdrop to display them.

“The previous exhibition had charcoal walls, so once the works were pulled down, packed and collected, we rolled four coats of paint on the walls to return them to their usual neutral white.

“You never quite know what the final exhibition will be until you have all the works in the space— and while the layout is preplanned on paper it is only when you see the works together and look at how they sit with each other, that you see how they sometimes clash and then you have to think on your feet to quickly come up with a new plan.”

What do people gravitate towards?

“In terms of where to hang pieces, Gallery 1 is considered prime real estate. This is the first section you see when you walk through the Gallery doors and it’s visible from outside,“ Ms Shadforth said.

“We tend to place key works in this space and those pieces are decided upon based on value, scale or simply what looks right.

“That said, there is no set way to traverse the gallery. We can’t, nor do we want to, lead visitors. People will naturally gravitate to works that they connect with and that’s OK. “With that in mind, in this exhibition, we’ve tried to highlight key works in the collection, selecting pieces that have broad appeal to the general visitor.

“Some visitors enjoy bursts of colour, others prefer dark and moody works or beautiful landscapes, but I think we can guarantee there’s something for all in this exhibition.

“We have some beautiful maquettes – these are little model versions of the public artworks that people may have seen in public spaces within the region – in our collection and the detail is quite exceptional.’’

Highlights of the exhibition include a collaborative ceramic piece, Springbrook,

by Errol Barnes and renowned contemporary artist Joe Furlonger valued at about $7000 and a must-see is the collection of three works by Indigenous artist Joe Alimindjin Rootsey (1918–1963).

Latest & Greatest II is on show until 19 March at Caloundra Regional Gallery, 22 Omrah Avenue, Caloundra. Entry to the allaccess gallery is free to enjoy. Opening hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am2pm Saturday and Sunday. More information at gallery.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Bonza’s Melbourne sale

Carly Povey, chief commercial officer at Bonza.

Parashos welcomed the news.

“Melbourne Airport is proud to be the only capital city destination on Bonza’s launch network as well as the airline’s second hub. Having Bonza’s brand new aircraft and crew based in Melbourne is a huge win for the local economy and means more jobs for the state’s aviation and tourism sectors.

“Many of the routes going on sale today are not currently flown and will give Victorians more travel options while also making it easier for regional Australians to visit the nation’s capital of food, sport and culture.”

From here, the airline will welcome its fifth aircraft which will also call Melbourne home.

“After that, we focus on earning the right to grow. Our intention is to have up to eight aircraft in our first year of operation which will enable us to connect many more communities where travel right now often means impossibly long road trips or flights connecting through major city airports,” Ms Povey said.

Bonza has sweetened the deal for Aussie travellers by putting its Melbourne base on sale.

12592808-JC09-23

Australia’s newest airline Bonza has sweetened the deal for Aussie travellers by putting its Melbourne base on sale with some routes available to travel for Easter.

Twelve routes to 11 destinations have been added to the Fly Bonza app with prices starting from $49 to $89 per person one way.

The news comes as Bonza continues to get wheels up across its route map of 17 destinations and 27 routes including its first flight to Victoria on Tuesday when the inaugural Sunshine Coast to Avalon took flight.

The purple party continued as Bonza arrived into Townsville for the first time and the airline touched down with customers for the first time in Rockhampton.

“Today is a huge day for Aussie travellers as we deliver on our promise to make air travel accessible to the many, not the few,” Carly Povey said, chief commercial officer at Bonza.

“Today millions more Aussies have the chance to book a low cost flight to see a loved one or explore their own backyard. As a proud Melbournite, I’m very excited to have the opportunity to fly directly to regional destinations to catch some winter sun in Queensland or explore the wine region of Mildura,” Ms Povey said.

The news means all of Bonza’s initial routes are now on sale with Aussies said to be embracing the airline’s app first approach.

“The routes on sale today use our Melbourne-based crew and aircraft including our fourth plane, Malc, named after a dear legend who recently passed away.“ Travellers can book now for Easter, July and September school holidays with flights available until the end of October.

The first flight from Melbourne Airport is confirmed for 30 March and travellers are encouraged to get in quick to be part of Australian aviation history that day.

Jack Lewis, who last year scored the only perfect 10 in the history of the event.

Australia’s premier Body Surfing Festival will be held from 24-26 March.

The Coolum Wedge is the first World Qualifying event for the IBSA Bodysurfing World Tour Championship in Hawaii.

Lyla Crouch.

Coolum Wedge a qualifier

By Abbey Cannan Now in its third year, the Coolum Wedge is making waves after being selected as the first World Qualifying event for the IBSA Bodysurfing World Tour Championship in Hawaii.

Australia’s premier Body Surfing Festival will be held from the 24-26 March, and registrations are now open for the competition, sponsored by the Marcoola Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank.

Competition organiser Darren Verrenkemp said the Wedge was not merely about qualifying the sport’s best athletes for the World Titles.

“The overriding goal of The Wedge was always to act as the annual gathering for all the bodysurfing tribes around Australia and indeed the world – a gathering of the fraternity, a sharing of stories and a weekend filled as much with friends as with friendly competition,” Darren said.

“The Wedge is open to five divisions, so anyone can come and they’ll be guaranteed two swims for the weekend. I encourage anyone to get involved, you don’t have to be a great bodysurfer.”

Darren said it’s a culture that really values inclusiveness.

“The first wave that anyone in Australia usually catches is a bodysurfing wave, and the last wave they will take in their life is probably a bodysurfing wave. For some people it becomes a massive part of their life. Case in point is the Coolum 79ers, who are the body surfing club or community in Coolum, which has been going for 40 years, and there’s people in the club who are the original members. We just want to celebrate the diversity and bring other bodysurfers together, from ages 10 to 83, and that’s how we started that festival.”

With six internationals attending the event, including New York Times bestselling author Christopher McDougall, there’s plenty of reasons to be spectating from the sand.

Two local event champions to keep your eye out for are Jack Lewis and Lyla Crouch, who can’t wait to hit the waves again this year.

Peregian Beach local Lyla, 17, has won three

Jack’s trophy. titles at the competition, and will be competing this year alongside her dad and sister.

“They’re like the royal bodysurfing family here on the Sunshine Coast,” Darren said of the Crouchs.

Lyla said she’s been bodysurfing since starting out in surf lifesaving as a young girl.

“I had never tried a bodysurfing competition before the Coolum Wedge and I was a little bit nervous on the day, but as soon as I got to the beach those nerves had just completely disappeared because everyone was there to have a great time,” Lyla said.

“It’s such an amazing sport. Especially because it is quite new to competition here on the Sunny Coast. It has amazing people in it and great opportunities, especially with this

new international competition as well. It really is a massive community. It’s the most uncompetitive competition.”

Open champion Jack, who last year scored the only perfect 10 in the history of the event, said he was honoured and proud to have won the competition.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re coming first or last and that’s the beauty of this competition,” Jack said.

“My involvement with bodysurfing has been since I was two-years-old through surf lifesaving. I’m more of a surfer these days, but nothing beats the smile on your face after catching a wave with nothing else but your body.”

He’s heavily involved with Noosa Surf Life-

saving Club and Noosa Boardriders Club, and also won the Twin Fin division of Noosa Festival of Surfing last year.

“We’ve got these beautiful waves in Noosa which are perfect for longboarding, whereas Coolum is more of a bodysurfing mecca and community,” Jack said.

“When my cousin from Sydney told me she was visiting for this Coolum bodysurfing competition, I wanted to check it out. I missed the first round because I was taking my kids to sports, but I got in there for the second round and I didn’t know what to do.

“I found out there was this whole subculture and whole tribe of people who love bodysurfing. It’s not the same energy as surfing, it’s a more pure form of the sport. It’s just you and the ocean. There’s big tribes all over the world who share this same stoke.”

The Marcoola Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank is proud to be the major sponsor for The Coolum Wedge festival.

“It is a privilege and an honour to be able to contribute and be part of an event and organisation that brings the community together,” Community Banks (Marcoola, Cooroy and Tewantin-Noosa Branches) senior manager Melanie Jackson said.

“When you bank with your local Community Bank, up to 80 percent of profits go back into your community.

“It’s a win-win situation – customers choose to bank with Bendigo Bank and the profits are returned to the community; the bigger the customer base, the bigger the opportunity for community contribution.”

Darren said Bendigo and the Coolum Wedge both share similar aspirations.

“It was a very natural fit for the two organisations,” he said.

“Bendigo goes above and beyond what you would expect from a traditional bank. That community support is culturally embedded in them. We’re really honoured to have them as the major sponsor for us.”

Pirates launch new season

Noosa Outrigger crews had a new course taking them out through the Heads in Sydney.

U7 and U8 athletes Eleanor Tillotson, Stella Zegars, Mackenzie Hyde, Clara Hermus, Leo Speldewinde (Axel Chandler absent) with senior captain Jaxon Retchless. supporter , people that we will meet as the season progresses.

On a lighter side, I had the pleasure of meeting the new head coach of the women’s team, Robert Burgin. If there was ever a man who came to a new coaching job with interesting credentials, it would have to be Burgin.

“My wife and I are just back from helping coordinate the Brazilian team at the Rugby League World Cup in England. It was the first time that a team from Latin America was in attendance at the sports showpiece event.” ‘’Numbers are strong for our Pirates girls.

They are preparing for a 9s competition at Kawana, their first hit out of the year,” said Burgin.

“Our big aim is to drum up interest in our new U/13 and U/17 groups, so we can finally have a pathway, all the way for the local girls.

We would love to see more Noosa District girls sticking with the club from a young age through to seniors.”

With women’s competition conciliated in our game, it would seem that Pirates have, in Burgin, the right man at the right time. So, to our people, one and all, the season has started: so, go out there and take it.

Little Athletics Following our policy, support our little athletes, here are results from the recent Sunshine Coast Regional Championships for the U7s and 8. For Noosa, six young athletes, Mackenzie Hyde, Axel Chandler, Clara Hermus, Leo Speldewinde, Eleanor Tilloston and Stella Zegars, all ran, jumped and threw over two days of competition.

Special mention goes to Speldewinde and Tillotson. Leo won the shot put with a throw of 6.64m and came second in discus. Eleanor won her 200m and came second in her 70m sprint. Finally, a great effort by Alex Chandler who finished second in her 200m.

It is great to see sporting organisations running these regional competitions for the very young. Who know what talent lingers amongst our youth? To all involved we wish them well: and our continued support.

Outriggers For our Noosa Outriggers Club the Sydney Harbour Challenge is done and dusted for another year. To make things interesting the crews had a new course that took them out through the Heads.

What started out as a calm morning with ideal racing conditions for the mixed crew, later on turned windier and rougher for the ladies and men’s races, creating very testing conditions. There was a lot of Harbour traffic on the water with boats, ferries sail boats and sea planes for the crews to navigate around.

Noosa was well represented with one mixed crew, three women’s crews and six men’s, taking on the challenge. For the first race, the Golden Mixed Masters won the gold in a time of 2h 9 min. A big well done to the ladies and gents.

Next race saw three women’s Masters crews, performing well to finish fifth, in 2hr 21min.

Noosa Outriggers compete in the Sydney Harbour challenge.

This team had two novice ladies and it was also the first time for all crews, to contest the Harbour Challenge. A great experience for all.

Up next were the Golden Masters Women’s who performed well to win the bronze medal.

This qualified them for the world training selection camp. The Seniors Masters Women finished in ninth place: good effort considering they only came together recently as a team.

Last in the agender, the men’s races were held in very windy, testing conditions. There was a shortened course for the Platinum men: great performance saw them win silver.

This also qualified them for the worlds training selection camp. Despite not finishing in the medals the Seniors Masters Men’s performance, also saw them qualify for selection in the training camp.

After a somewhat turbulent year, the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club have once again, rallied to the colours.

They closed off their 2022 season with their annual presentation of trophies evening and such was the attitude, that a new and successful season is definitely on the board for 2023.

On Friday 17 February at the Heads of Noosa Brewing Company, the Always Cool Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club launched their 2023 season. To a full house of management, coaches, players, supporters, sponsors and special guests, club president Liam Anlearkz, gave a very warm and sincere, ‘’Welcome one and all. And in particular to Sandy Bolton MP and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart.”

He then noted the work being done by his current committee and acknowledged, the outgoing members for their hard work.

“It was their dedication that enabled them to achieve their goals.”

Head coach Mick Duff and senior coaches spoke about the season ahead and their plans for the future.

This year the club is proud to be associated with another premier sponsor, Bendigo Community Bank and bank representative Steve Clark was in attendance and introduced. The crowd celebrated their sponsorship of the open women’s team, with Ms Bolton unveiling the new players jersey.

In discussing the season ahead, DeboraJane (DJ) Gillard, social media, sponsorship and functions coordinator said, “Our 2023 committee and coaching staff has hit the ground running. Some exciting projects and plans are underway for the season. A major focus for us is our junior development program with great relationships formed, with both the Brisbane Broncos and the inaugural NRL Dolphins, we have some great initiatives under way.”

Registration has opened for the 2023 season from U6 to senior grades. Visit their website for full details, noosapirates.com.au When we weigh up what is necessary for a club such as Pirates, to achieve that ultimate goal, playing in the grand final, we soon realise that it takes lots more than just a great team headed by an even greater coach. What goes on behind the scene is of the utmost importance.

First there is the president and his committee. Already established is club president Alazar and his committee. Recently the club constitution and the management committee structure were upgraded, and under the guidance and assistance of Brett Winkler and Joe Cirillo it was a success and the club hasn’t looked back since.

Along with management, the club structure consists of the following - coaching panel, sponsorship, functions, and social media, life members and old boys ( the grey beards): and also, those vital for the future, the junior coordinators.

The recent club workshop for the U13 to U17 players and families, yet another success story, would come under the help of the junior coordinators. Such fund- raising events as the annual rodeo carnival (always a great family outing) and legends of league, would be guided by functions.

Then there is the life member group. To mention just a few, Greg Furner, Chris and Sue O’Grady, the Christensen family and Clare Robinson. Once again, they are ever-present.

And of course, there is that group who occupy the hot seats of the club structure: the senior coaching panel.

This season, they are head senior coach Mick Duff Division 1, reserve grade coach Dan Riddle Division 2, women’s coach Robert Burgin and U/19 coach Clinton Lewis.

Then on the sideline there are our first aid officers, game stewards, announcers and time keepers, all necessary to make game day run smoothly. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are young people such as junior girl coaches, every day workers and the diehard

Strong end to regular play

By Randall Woodley Following the debacle last week in India for our men’s Test team, I received the following story from one of my friends.

I thought it was worth publishing.

“A terrible mix up has meant Australia’s National Croquet Team, and not the Australian Men’s Test cricket team, was forced to face up against ferocious Indian attack at Arun Jaitley Stadium last week. It is believed the mistake was made when the croquet team accidentally boarded the wrong bus in the morning outside the hotel where both teams were staying. “We misread the sign on the front of the bus,” a spokesperson said.

Unsure of the rules, or how to play the game at all, the croquet team collapsed, losing their last eight wickets for just 28 runs. Spectators said it was tough going for the croquet players, who were not prepared for the ball to spin off the court with such deviation.

“I had my mallet out ready to hit the ball through the hoop, but then there was a guy running at me and I missed the hoop,” one croquet player said.

Another player said he was totally confused about what was going on.

“I walked out onto the pitch and then moments later I was asked to leave after the ball hit me on the leg. Maybe I did a double tap without realising it? I’m really not sure”.

Luckily for the croquet team the ordeal was over in about an hour. Reports about the cricket team’s performance playing the Indian Croquet Team are yet to be provided.”

If it was not so serious, it would be funnyRandall Woodley Last weekend all five senior Tewantin-Noosa Thunder teams played Day 1 of their final scheduled matches for the season. It is possible that the club could have four teams playing in the semi-finals and finals this year.

FIRST GRADE: After day 1 the team is in a strong position against the ladder-leaders, Maroochydore Swans at Buderim. The boys have already secured first innings points and next weekend will be pushing hard for the outright win. Bowling first the Thunder’s top class openers, Scott Aufderheide and Tom Stewart had the Swans on the back foot, right from the opening over. The first wicket fell to a run-out from a huge outfield throw from Aufderheide to the bowler’s end and from then on their batsmen struggled. By lunch the home team was 8 down for 54. They found some form in the early afternoon but eventually were rolled for 103. Wicket takers were Aufderheide 2-17, Tom Stewart 3-30 and Ben Laughlin 4-20. The bowlers were backed up by tight fielding and some spectacular catches from Laughlin and Blake Steel.

At stumps, Thunder was 4 for 128 with Lewis Waugh not out on 49 and Cooper Lea on 18 not out. Another 100 quick runs will be the order of the day next Saturday and then allow the Thunder bowlers to go flat out for the rest of the afternoon.

SECONDS: Playing Maroochydore at home, the seconds scored 155. The total should have been higher than this with Adam Curry (65 off 33 balls) and veteran Chris Wright (42) scor-

Master Blasters (Under 10s) and the Under 11s after they played their last match of the season at Tewantin School. ing most of the runs themselves. In reply, the Swans were 1 for 79 at stumps.

THIRDS: With four teams vying for third and fourth places, the team headed to last-placed Nambour with a good win their goal. Nambour batted first and eventually was all out for 127. It was Thunder’s worst day in the field for some time with several chances missed and the bowling not as tight as it has been in previous matches. Six bowlers took wickets with Ian Brundell snagging three and Finn Mayo and Richard Lee two each.

After losing an early wicket, Nigel Webster and Brendan Wright steadied the ship and scored quickly finishing the day on 1-52.

Thunder is in a great position to claim first innings points next Saturday.

FIFTHS: The team were playing Cooroy-Eumundi at Read Park and batted first. Veteran Tony Watson (53) and Ben Blackwell (24) put on an opening partnership of 60 and set the scene for a good team score. Anthony Blackwell continued the positive batting and scored a controlled 81 with 10 fours. Kent Officer relished the conditions and finished with 41 to have the team at 8 -245 at stumps. Next week, the team will be going all out to collect the first innings win points.

SIXTHS: The team travelled down to Landsborough and were sent into bat. The openers started well with both getting off the mark on a pitch that was staying very low and a ball moving in all directions. After losing two wickets, Shane Gesell and Wayne Moore came together in the middle to settle in for a good partner-

A few quick wickets fell but runs were steadily scored with Thunder registering a score of 211 with Wayne Moore contributing a patient 81 no. At stumps, Landsborough was 0-5. With decent runs on the board and a good bowling line up, the boys are confident they can take the points next week and move onto the finals with a win.

UNDER 17S SEMI-FINAL: The team were playing Caloundra at their ground in the competition semi-final. Batting first, things did not go well for the Thunder batsmen losing their first three wickets for seven. Some good partnerships were needed, and Will Cooke (20), Harper Lee (12), and Ethan Slaney (15) and Tom Daly steadied the innings, but the team could only put 91 runs on the scoreboard.

The Thunder team needed to bowl and field out of their skins to remain in the game. Early wickets came with Caloundra being 2-6 and later 4 for 44. But Caloundra, to their credit, held their nerve and finished the chase at 6-95.

They are an impressive unit and have not been beaten all year.

The coach and supporters are very proud of this team as they always had a never die attitude and it was great to see them, the cellar dwellers early in the season make the finals.

JUNIOR CRICKET: To finish the season, the club’s Master Blasters (Under 10 boys and girls) had a great time last Saturday playing against the club’s Under 11s in a practice match to see what U11 cricket is like. Everyone had a great time. A big thank you to Ben Shaw who has run the Master Blasters program for the past five year.

Recalculated point scores for Youth Championships After a thrilling four days of competition at the Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) Youth Championships on the Sunshine Coast last weekend, the final overall point score went down to the wire.

SLSQ announced Sunday afternoon that Maroochydore had won the overall point score by five points ahead of North Burleigh.

However, an error in the LiveHeats scoring system meant that a full record of the points was not calculated correctly, and the results of the top two clubs was incorrect.

After a review of results, SLSQ advised clubs that the revised overall point score that now accounts for all results saw North Burleigh take out the top spot on 422 points ahead of Maroochydore on 419 points.

While the error in results is disappointing, especially for members of Maroochydore and North Burleigh Clubs, SLSQ general manager, Kurt Wilson, said it by no means diminishes the extraordinary results achieved over the weekend.

“Surf Life Saving Queensland regrets the 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 March, 2023

human error that occurred in the calculation of the overall point score and offers its apologies to Maroochydore and North Burleigh SLSCs who were impacted,” Mr Wilson said.

“While these errors are unfortunate, it does not take away from the fact that we had an incredible four days of competition that saw more than 1500 juniors from right across our State achieve wonderful results.

“The strong club camaraderie on display from our juniors is something we celebrate, as our clubs are at the heart of surf life saving and we know our members have pride in representing their clubs and regions.

“Thank you to all those that took part in the Surf Life Saving Queensland Youth Championships and we look forward to welcoming our senior and masters competitors this weekend for the State Championships,” he said.

Final placings for the Surf Life Saving Queensland Youth Championships: (1) North Burleigh 422 points (2) Maroochydore 419 points (3) Alexandra Headland 275 points.

An error in the LiveHeats scoring system meant that a full record of the points was not calculated correctly.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Let surfing games begin Because when I started surfing there was no such thing as a surf report, other than the weather map in the newspaper, which was dead to us unless it showed a big fat low pressure system forming off our coast, because of all that, I was a fairly late adopter when technology brought us modern swell forecasting.

But oh boy, for the past 20 years or so I have been totally addicted to the dark art, often stacking up no more than my meagre knowledge of weather systems and a gut feeling against the cumulative wisdom of the website experts whom I imagine pacing up and down in front of a hologram of the Coral Sea, occasionally pointing at something using a stick produced from the pocket of a white scientist robe.

Of course the couple of swell forecasters I know are nothing like this, and they spend most of their days surfing, but it’s human nature to be suspicious of what you don’t really understand.

My obsession with swell forecasting began back in the ‘90s when the estimable Mike Perry would, for a few shekels, fax you the latest forecast (if you’re under 40, ask your dad), but it stepped into high gear over the many years when I was chiefly responsible for the running of the Noosa Festival of Surfing, and also in the eyes of some for the provision of perfect waves throughout the event.

This fearful responsibility, however real or imagined, made me start examining every known source of oceanic information available about a month out, and turned into a frenzy of hourly checking of military-generated WAMS and NOAA charts about a week before the first heat was due to hit the water.

As I write it is five days before the first heat, and prospects from two promised tropical depressions have weakened, one just fizzling and the other changing direction and heading out of our swell window aimed at New Zealand, but with much less oomph that Gabby.

This is a bit depressing for festival week, but fear not. Many times I’ve seen it all change around again two days out, and hopefully by the time you read this, that will have happened.

Meanwhile, the world’s biggest surf festival will charge ahead regardless, and thankfully some of the first surfers in the water on opening day won’t give a toss how big the waves are. I speak, of course, of the VetShop Australia Surfing Dogs, who for 11 years now have embarrassed organisers and some of surfing’s biggest living legends by drawing a far bigger crowd to the beach than any human surfer (except perhaps the GOAT) could hope for. And it’s not a gimmick, I tell you! It’s an actual contest for best wave, with a trophy for the master and a bone for the little fella doing the real work.

Old mate Naomi from VetShop tells me: “This year’s line-up features some old favourites, like three-time winners Hugsley and Jonesy, as well as some new pups on the block.

Watch out for Dane, who will be shredding the waves with gorgeous Bu the staffy, or Banjo the ball obsessed kelpie, who will be showing off his skills with owner Chris Oakley. And let’s not forget Poppy the groodle, or Anna the chocolate border collie who will be riding the waves with owner Zane and little human Koa.” What’s not to love about that?

The dogs are on at First Point from 3pm Saturday, but be warned, get there early if you want a prime viewing position.

The traditional opening ceremony, welcome to country and paddle-out will follow at 4pm, with the beach bar on the sand rocking until 8pm. And from there it’s surfing from sunup to sundown for the next eight days.

I snuck a look at the talent lineup on LiveHeats, and as well as recent regulars and favourites like Kaniela Stewart and Mason Schremmer (via Noosa) from Hawaii, and Avalon Gall and Kaimana Takayama from California, it’s great to see old favourites Jared Mell and Taylor Jensen from California back in the draw. On top of them, and a huge array of homegrown

Well, you can breathe easy now, because Kirra is the queen, taking out an exciting final at MonaLisa Point (hope I’ve got that right) from second placer Hiroka Yoshikawa.

By Kirra’s account, it was a really fun event, bringing together longboard stylists from Australia, the US and all over Asia.

THERE’S LOTS TO LIKE ABOUT PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY NOOSA’S eastern beaches never cease to amaze ... I was down at Peregian Beach the other day and reflected on the changes that have taken place over the years I have been writing about property here.

The central swimming pool at the shopping centre is long gone and in its place is the beautiful, shaded parkland at the heart of the shopping centre where people can relax, interact and take advantage of what’s on offer.

All of the eastern beaches are home to some wonderful architect and designer houses that sit well within the landscape.

It’s hard to find a park in the morning with all the people frequenting their coffee shops, the bakery and the IGA store, those doing yoga on the beach or having an early morning surf.

Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Chris Miller post-auction of apartment 8 in Riverside at 235 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. 320944

Two renovated apartments offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two-car parking at 14 and 15/9 Albert St, Noosaville, are set for auction at 11am on Saturday, 4 March.

streets as people rebuild, remodel or refurbish existing houses and some of the locations are quite magnificent.

That’s why I was at Tristania Drive the other day - one of the most tightly-held streets along the coastline.

This precinct is home to some people who enjoy the seclusion - many from Brisbane looking for a getaway or locals wanting privacy.

People understand the value of this location.

It’s very rare that I get to go in there to see a property that’s for sale … more likely to go there as part of the Master Builders awards programs to inspect the quality of work being carried out anywhere from Peregian, to Marcus, Castaways, Sunrise and in Sunshine Beach.

I was at Marcus Beach with Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate to get a “first look’’ at a brand-new luxury retreat.

Designed and project managed by

Alessia Capriccioli, it was to be a spacious family home but things have changed and they need to relocate overseas.

When we talk brand new, it couldn’t be anything but. Seachange Builders are scheduled to hand over the keys today, Friday.

Alessia is an energy engineer and interior designer. The three-level house is in an absolute beachfront location on 971sq m with unrestricted 180-degree ocean views.

It’s a magnificent family home with up to six bedrooms in a flexible floorpan that can make the most of study areas, balconies, media room and temperature-controlled wine cellar.

It would make for extended family living as well as home office, with a spacious guest suite and bathroom on the ground floor that has external entry. An internal lift operates to all three levels.

The sustainable and eco-friendly house

320165

has solar panels, Smart Home System featuring air-conditioning and dimmable lights all connected to a smart phone app that can be controlled remotely.

Here you have everything. As well as double lock-up garage there is a separate boat garage or gymnasium.

The size of the block gives you a goodsized garden, a big pool, spacious home and perfect aspect. It’s 30 seconds and you are right on the beach - there is no need to cross a road.

Everything blends together - the colours, the textures, the finishes.

There is a simple uniformity throughout the whole house … the darker stone, the timber, the marble as a backdrop.

The tone of the bathrooms is easy on the eye and sets a nice mood.

There are extra-high ceilings throughout, together with full-size planks of UVresistant European oak engineered timber flooring.

ON THE COVER

LIVE THE DREAM NOOSA RIVER-STYLE CLOSE TO FORESHORE A MARVELLOUS modernist Duplex, mere footsteps to the sparkling shallows and boardwalk of the Noosa River, has an innate sense of gravitas and material sincerity which stems from an awardwinning ingenious design by Chris Clout.

Exterior western red cedar aluminium sections provide shade from the western sun, also privacy from the street, whilst slatted panels allow filtered light indoors, also a visually interesting dimension to the sandstone wall at the front entry. Admire the bridge-like walkway over a cool blue pond and hear water trickling.

Open the double height glass and timber-framed door to perfect spatial planning, which is enhanced by a bold statement pendant in the void over the generous open plan dining and living areas creating volume, also allowing an abundance of natural light to ‘float’ upstairs.

Full width timber framed sliding doors seemingly disappear, extending indoors out to the expansive undercover entertaining terrace with outdoor kitchen, timber shutters and integrated barbeque.

Frameless glass fencing gives a totally unobstructed view of the glistening aqua pool, sun worshipper’s deck, garden and sandstone rear wall with water feature.

Specially designed lighting adds a romantic glow.

Stunning New Guinea rosewood is used extensively to add warmth to white floors and walls. It features in a wall of custom cabinetry housing the television and ecofireplace, also in the stone-topped galleystyle kitchen including the long island/ breakfast bar.

Naturally, the kitchen with the latest high-end appliances, picture window splashback, stunning white lampshade pendants, double pantry and every necessary accoutrement, will attract any budding Nigella Lawson.

Also on this level is a powder room, and laundry with access to a drying court.

The staircase with blackbutt treads leads to the sweet dream zone. In the south wing the master suite has a terrace overlooking the pool, timber shutters, walkin robe and a lavish ensuite with Italian porcelain tiles and white stone bathtub.

Along the suspended blackbutt timber walkway in the east wing are two bedrooms, one a queen, the other with king singles, both with built-in robes, also a share bathroom.

“This location really is second-to-none,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eric Seetoo. “Several doors away is the water’s edge, a boardwalk for delightful sunsets, watching activity on the river, casting a rod for delicious flathead, or walking a few steps further, where it joins with Gympie Terrace and myriad well-known restaurants, cafes, bars, and take-outs beckon. There are jetties to catch the Noosa Ferry to Hastings Street, leisure craft hire companies, shallow waters for safe swimming and an adjoining parkland dotted with gazebos.

“Unique award-winning investment opportunities so close to the water and in such a prestigious location are ultra-rare, and this is the domain of the canny and on the wish list of many.”

SECONDS TO EVERYTHING WITH Sunshine Beach almost on your doorstep, forget the alarm clock and wake to the sound of the surf. Check the whitetipped waves from the terrace, grab the surfboard and it is toes-in-the water and surf breaks galore in two minutes. If that’s not your cup of tea, don the walking shoes and stop or order a take-out-of-choice, across the road at the vibrant Sunshine Beach village, which is already abuzz with coffee aficionados and their four-footers.

Inside from the entry way, the allure of this mid-floor dream apartment is obvious. It is always in a sunny mood and naturally it is in-vogue with a fresh monochromatic palette of primarily shades of blue mimicking its surrounds, plus there are banks of white plantation shutters.

Coalescing is an abundance of natural light emanating from the private undercover terrace. It drenches the open plan living and dining areas which have sink-into grey fabric-covered sofas offset with cushions, timber console, seaside themed artworks and pots of ’greenery’, plus glass-topped table and timber chairs.

From the terrace drink in those views of the Coral Sea, stretching from the north to the east, loll on a sun lounge, enjoy a casual lunch or look over into the garden canopy which attracts myriad birdlife. It is not unusual to find guests feeding the family of kookaburras.

If entertaining is on the menu, the kitchen with deep blue laminate topped 2-pac cabinetry including a semi-island/ breakfast bar, has plenty of storage, every whizz-bang appliance plus accoutrements aplenty.

In the west wing are two bedrooms which continue the blue and white aesthetic, and both have built-in robes.

The king master has an ensuite with spa bath for those who love to totally relax-bysoaking, and the second bedroom, a twin has an adjoining bathroom.

“If you’re thinking about basking in the pleasure of a sage investment, it is all here,“ suggests Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jill Goode, adding “especially when the boutique Sunshine Vista complex also has lush tropical gardens with an outdoor dining set-up for barbeques plus umbrellas and sun lounges around the pool and spa.

“Those who know Sunshine Beach appreciate the superb location and amenable sub-tropical climate, also being able to enjoy everything about being near one of the world’s best beaches or at the vibrant Sunshine Beach village where the local cafe society and vibe preserve the ’barefoot if you like’ attitude.”

DRESS CIRCLE COOLUM BEACH LAND LOOKING for seaside treasure? The ultimate prize is building a visually arresting residence with edgy design and a northerly aspect, on an elevated site in the dress circle, five minutes away from toes-in-thesand of Coolum Beach.

Held by the same family for over 30 years, the cleared site is at the end of a quiet cul-de sac, and potentially is awash with extensive views of the Coral Sea stretching from the Sunshine Beach headland in the north, to Point Arkwright and beyond in the south, also the

vegetated ridge-line of the Noosa National Park to the west.

Bask in the pleasure of a dream home in a serene bushland setting, coming true.

Wake to the sound of waves breaking on the beach, watching dawn send shimmering rays over the ocean and board riders peeling off popular surf breaks.

Got your morning cuppa? Grab the kids and the family four-footer and mix fitness with pleasure taking the Point Arkwright trail with its glorious rocky headland and foreshore. Alternatively walk along the

boardwalk fringed by a grassy foreshore and parkland, to the vibrant Coolum Beach village with popular restaurants, cafes, boutiques, the Coolum Surf Club and patrolled beach .

Sound tempting? This site is without a doubt a rare find. Check it out before it is too late, also the pristine environs.

Local volunteers, committed to the care and preservation of the environment, have created wonderful sanctuaries for flora and fauna, boasting many natural bushwalks from the northern Mount Emu, winding

through Coolum Beach to Yaroomba and Mount Coolum. The landmark mountain which greets you as you drive north towards Noosa Heads, requires a good level of fitness to climb but for the views alone, is worth it.

“The surf’s up in Coolum Beach for a dream build investment opportunity,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin, “and this land speaks only of potential financial success. There’s simply nothing around like it.” ●

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

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

Welcome to 3 Noosa Banks Drive.

Double entry front doors invite you to a light filled foyer leading to a sunken formal lounge and dining room with views and access to a stunning undercover alfresco entertaining space and inground pool.

To the right of the foyer a generously

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

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

The second and third bedrooms would easily incorporate king size beds and the

fourth is ideal as a bedroom or an office. All are carpeted and have built-in robes, ceiling fans and white plantation shutters.

The state of art chef’s kitchen will delight gourmet food lovers and boasts stone bench tops, quality appliances, including a built- in refrigerator, water filter, self-closing drawers and cupboards. A breakfast bar sits adjacent to the generous sized family gathering and casual dining area and is a perfect spot to congregate and enjoy with family and friends while keeping an eye on any swimmers in the pool.

Low maintenance cool tiles flow through

from the entrance to the kitchen, dining and family room. In addition, the home has security lights, an instantaneous hot water system, a 6.6 KW solar power system with 26 panels producing a credit for the current owner since July 2020. The water usage is minimal as well with two existing 1000 litre rainwater tanks feeding the garden and pool.

Stepping outside, the outdoor entertaining area features a clever vergola which automatically opens and closes depending on weather conditions, making for relaxed and easy alfresco living. Expansive and creatively landscaped tropical gardens form an attractive colourful backdrop to the inground pool and a secret secluded hidden garden provides for quiet reflection or marshmallows around the firepit on summer evenings. Established assorted citrus trees including limes, mandarins, oranges and lemons for your gin and tonic have also been thoughtfully planted. Add the passionfruit vine and dessert is done!

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

With an attached single garage, off street parking and wide side access, there’s room to park the caravan or boat.

Located in a quiet pocket of Maroochydore backing onto parkland, just minutes to Maroochydore’s amenities including schools, Sunshine Plaza, new CBD development, cinemas, patrolled beach, and easy access to the motorway.

Everything here to make your life easy.

See you at the open home. ●
