Lack of staff hits family business By Abbey Cannan

Sunshine Coast Marine owner Ray Scholes is shutting his doors in June after almost 50 years in business.

A Noosa family business that serviced the community for almost 50 years will be closing its doors for good, due to a lack of staff. Long-time local Ray Scholes says it won’t be a sad ending for Sunshine Coast Marine, which he opened with Norma and Mark Horton in 1974. “The thing I’ll miss the most is the banter that happens every day with the customers and the staff,” Ray said. “It’s always a pretty lively, happy place. We’re not afraid to give the customer a bit of tongue in cheek, and they do the same thing to us.” Over many years they built a reputation for excellence in service and customer satisfaction, and showed pride in offering value for money Quintrex, Mercury and Yamaha boating packages. Ray said the reason for closure came down to the after effects of Covid. Continued page 8

Act now demand By Margie Maccoll

An ambitious plan to immediately implement a Threatened Fauna Recovery Road Map was hatched by Noosa Council this week which may result in stepped up enforcement measures this Easter to halt illegal driving on Noosa North Shore’s coastal dunes to protect turtle hatchlings. With sea turtles identified as the priority species to save in the road map’s first year of operation, Cr Brian Stockwell called for a raft of actions to be introduced in the Easter holiday break which coincides with turtle hatching season. Cr Stockwell wants a zero tolerance approach to driving on coastal dunes with enforcement action on peak times during the turtle nesting and hatching season, fixed and drone surveillance cameras and closure of North Shore beach either side of high tide. He requested staff start immediate negotiations with the Queensland Parks and Wildlife,

Queensland Police Service and the Teewah Cooloola Working Group to develop a joint education, compliance and enforcement regime and advise state government of council’s position. After much discussion, including questions over whether council had the capacity or authority and budget to carry out the actions, councillors decided to leave the matter on the table so that budget implications could be discussed before a decision is to be made at Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting. Cr Tom Wegener suggested the Noosa community would expect council to support the measures. “The thought that there will be dead baby turtles on the ground with people driving over them would be a nightmare for us,“ he said. “We want to stop this.“ Prior to the meeting, the road map which sets out council’s approach to ongoing management and recovery of threatened fauna, had more conservative actions planned.

With a proposed budget of $15,000 the road map actions for the recovery of sea turtles included sea turtle signage, beach clean up, light pollution awareness education and an action plan of mitigations and initiatives to be developed. The road map is aimed at following on from the endorsement by council in 2019 of its Noosa Environment Strategy (NES) which committed to “significant implementation actions“ relating to the long-term survival of threatened and protected fauna. Officers working on the road map shortlisted 29 significant native wildlife species and enlisted an expert panel of 10 people to nominate nine species, regarded as the Noosa Nine, for priority management. The nine priority species selected were the giant barred frog, glossy black cockatoo, Greater glider, koala, tusked frog, Mary River turtle, acid frogs (Wallum froglet, rocket frog and sedge frog), water mouse and loggerhead turtle.

WEATHER TODAY 21° - 32° Sunny Chance of any rain: 10% SATURDAY 21° - 30° Mostly sunny Chance of any rain: 20%

Brace yourselves, folks: our resident rainman Jim Kennedy has some shocking news. After the flood, cometh the drought. Well, maybe not quite, but over the first two months of 2023 the heavens opened only enough to offer 18 per cent of last year’s deluge over the same two months. Says Jim: “Rainfall figures for January and February 2023 are 59mm and 119mm respectively, with the total 178mm. This gives us a measly figure of just 49 per cent against our January/February average rainfall of 365mm. By this time last year we had recorded a staggering 994mm.” Of course, Jim was predicting a dry ’23 as early as mid-January and the BOM has fallen into line with him in its full climate statement and predictions for the

year, saying that La Nina is definitely on the way out with dry times ahead. And a bit of March drizzle hasn’t changed Jim’s thinking either. Jim, 84, has been monitoring local rainfall for several years now and in 2019 he began charting the fluctuations. He is at pains to explain that his gauge readings, on the coast at Sunrise Beach, can be different from the official reading upriver a few kilometres at Tewantin, due to local topography, but they tend to average out. And since Noosa Today first met him two years ago, his predictions based on the evidence of his backyard gauge have been right on the money.

The world’s sea turtles have been around for millions of years but are facing an uncertain future as they battle the various impacts from human interaction. They have to contend with millions of tonnes of plastic in the oceans and the harm that comes to them from ingesting it. The beaches they nest on are threatened by development and, as is the case on Noosa North Shore, traffic. Turtles regularly get caught up in fishing nets to be injured or drown or tangled up in fishing line. And more recently in the region they have been suffering from a mystery shell melting disease. The flagship species has become the first to be selected by Noosa Council in a new program targeting the recovery of threatened species in the area. I know it has raised questions in the community not only about the needs of all our threatened wildlife species but also about the ability to monitor the impact of such a program on an animal that spends the majority of its life somewhere else. It is an iconic species, loved by many. Its plight covers many of the issues facing Noosa and it’s a great face for the road map ahead. In other news Noosa Council has a great new look after updating its brand to the 21st Century.

Review praises STA law By Margie Maccoll A 12 month review of Noosa Council’s Short Stay Letting Local Law has determined the law is working well and requires no changes but improvements were needed for application processing, compliance and enforcement. The results of the review were delivered this week to council’s general meeting on Monday where officers reported the review involved consultation with stakeholders from Noosa’s short term accommodation (STA) industry, residents and community interest groups. As a result of the review a number of actions were proposed, officers said. The actions include employing two extra staff in work involving application assessment and compliance including undertaking enforcement action on properties operating STAs without approval or displaying approval notices and introducing an annual renewal fee. “It’s a good step forward,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “It will improve the efficiency of the process approval, take action on compliance and it has responded to industry feedback. “I think these recommendations will go a long way to addressing most if not all of the concerns raised by our community. We are the first council in Queensland to enact a local law for short term letting. We’re making huge

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie reflected on the

local law enactment which began with a call to action from the community to protect amenity. He said STA’s had resulted in the highest number of complaints compared to any other issue coming to council. The local law was put in place in the face of enormous criticism including fears it would kill off tourism, but figures show tourism has

returned to pre-Covid levels, he said “Feedback from residents and industry indicate we’re on the right track,” Cr Wilkie said. “It is protecting the resident and visitor experience in Noosa.” A final decision on the review will be made at council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday evening.

Consultation seeks feedback on community batteries Zero Emissions Noosa is proud to announce they are leading the charge in the implementation of community batteries in the shire, and they want you to be part of it! Noosa and Hinterland residents are invited to come along to interactive sessions about community batteries being held in Cooroy and Noosa Heads. “This is a real opportunity for residents to check out if a community battery would be right for their neighbourhood, and for us to seek genuine community feedback,” said ZEN chair Anne Kennedy. The Cooroy session will be held on Saturday 18 March from 10am-1pm in the Cooroy Memorial Hall, and the Noosa Heads session will be held on Saturday 25 March from 9am-12pm at The J Theatre, Noosa Drive, Noosa Junction.

just that. By storing excess solar energy, these batteries can reduce carbon emissions and increase the hosting capacity of the network, allowing for more rooftop solar. With community batteries, you can put downward pressure on energy bills while also building community action in response to climate change.

“ZEN is among the leaders in the country working towards a network of community batteries in the shire,” said Ms. Kennedy. “At these sessions we want to inform you about community batteries and most importantly find out what your opinions are. We know that storage is essential to respond to the need for power when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. We’ve all heard of big batteries, and home batteries, but now community batteries are becoming a viable electricity storage option at the local level. “Community batteries can help with emerging problems of the grid being able to cater for the growth of rooftop solar, and can also reduce our dependence on coal-fired power in the peak evening electricity demand periods by soaking up excess daytime solar for release at night. “At the information sessions you will hear about what a community battery is, how it works, what it looks like, why it helps the energy transition, and most importantly, how to bring one to your neighbourhood. We want to

hear from residents why they think a community battery would be a great initiative in their neighbourhood, and the last hour of the event is an optional session on how to select a location and engage your local community. “We are already significantly advanced on bringing a community battery to Noosaville, through a partnership with Noosa Council and Yarra Energy Foundation, to access a $500,000 Federal Government grant. We are confident of success with the application, and look forward to beginning the project in July this year. “We intend that this will be the first of many batteries to roll out through the shire, and we are grateful to have received funding support from the Queensland Government’s Community Sustainability Action grant program to enable the development of a business plan for a network of community batteries in the Noosa LGA.” Can’t make the sessions?

Shane Stanley talks with Minister Mark Furner and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

Minister Mark Furner samples market produce with Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

Market farmers go online By Margie Maccoll Noosa Farmers Market expansion attracted the interest of Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Minister Mark Furner who drove up from Brisbane Sunday morning to wander the market, chat with local food producers and launch its foray into online sales through Click and Collect and home delivery services. Three years ago Mr Furner was in Noosa to launch the Local Farmers brand which aims to reinforce the bond between community well being, healthy and nutritional food and local food security and the markets expansion online builds on that stance. “People need to have access to clean, healthy food and have food security,” Mr Furner said. “What you see in a lot of places, people want food direct from producers. This is giving them the option of delivering it or picking it up. “Supporting your local farmers market means supporting local farmers and local jobs, so it’s fantastic that you can now do that from home at the touch of a button.” Shane and Ish Stanley recently celebrated the 20 year anniversary of the market that now boasts about 100 stalls selling local produce and this week marked its expanded trading online. “It started with a small business grant from the state government. We were able to build a website and expand our services to create more opportunity,” Shane said. “We created a platform for farmers and the farmers get 100 per cent of profits with market stall fees covering all expenses.” The Noosa Farmers Market Click and Collect and home delivery kicked off on Sunday with about 10 customers and 35 stall holders. Shane expects within about two weeks every stall in the market should be onboard and click and collect pickups will occur from 11am to avoid clashing with morning market traffic. “We expect 100 deliveries a day and we can supply restaurants. It’s all local produce,” he said. Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said it was good to have the Minister in the community and for him to be able to talk to growers to hear not

As the Minister visited stalls, turkey and chicken farmer Ewart Sylvester of GreenAg, raised with him the problems small produces have in being able to slaughter their animals for market. Having been a cattle farmer for most of his life Mr Sylvester said his biggest challenge had been having to transport cattle hundreds of kilometres to an abattoir and losing the condition of the meat in the journey. He began farming turkeys and chickens about 12 years ago on a property

outside of Gympie. While he now has the advantage of being able to kill his own animals on his property many small growers do not and he had looked at introducing a portable abattoir, he said. “We’ve got people who want to do this,” he said. When he first raised the proposition he’d been told it was not allowed in Queensland, but rules had since changed, he said. Ms Bolton said the local interest from people in the community wanting to eat local produce, wanting reduced travel distances from grower to buyer and being involved in diverse farming methods such as regenerative farming had grown substantially since she’d organised

Council refreshes brand A refreshed council brand that is more accessible for the visually impaired and articulates the aspirations of Noosa has been endorsed by councillors. At Monday’s General Committee meeting, councillors agreed that after 30 years and to complement the soon-to-be released Corporate Plan, it was opportune to undergo a brand refresh for the organisation. Chief executive officer Scott Waters said the Corporate Plan was a legislative requirement for council and given the extensive work on developing a new blueprint for council, it was timely to implement a more modern, flexible refresh of the council brand. “The previous logo and branding has certainly served the organisation well, but as we move to an agile, contemporary organisation, it’s important to respect the past and acknowledge the modern, professional approach of this council,” he said. “This work has been done within the existing Corporate Plan budget and has had no impact on any other programs or initiatives,” “The change really allows us as a major employer in the shire to show who we are, what we deliver and what we value.“. Mayor Clare Stewart said the evolution of the brand had been truly a local affair with Peregian Beach-based business Saturate providing its expertise. “This work is part of the extensive CEO Roadmap, endorsed by councillors last year,“ she said. “As an organisation we continue to evolve

Noosa’s refreshed brand. beyond the pandemic to become a vibrant, progressive and agile council without losing sight of the things that make us unique,” she said. Mr Waters said it was another key component of the extensive Noosa 2.0 change management program being rolled out across the organisation. The brand refresh has been designed to respect the integrity of the iconic Boronia wildflower, which was part of the 1990 design, however consultants have provided a refreshed image and identity that clearly portrays a modern, agile and customer-centric organisation. “This has been done within existing bud-

gets, respects the integrity of the past and Saturate have done an exceptional job in representing our landscape, shire and natural environment,” he said. The process included in-depth research and analysis of existing council strategies and results from the Liveability Survey by design consultants Saturate. A series of internal workshops helped inform the development of a unified brand strategy and architecture. “Our dedicated team took a rigourous approach to distilling the essence of Noosa’s brand heritage and upgrading it to a dynamic and versatile new aesthetic,“ Saturate creative designer Andrew Maccoll said. “The new refined boronia was derived from

a deep analysis of the flower itself. It was important to us to respect the heritage of this beautiful place we call home yet also ensure the Noosa Council brand is future proof. We wanted to provide a brand the Council team can be proud of as they serve the shire.“ Mr Waters said council would implement the refreshed brand on a gradual basis as it replaces supplies, equipment and signage. Elements such as the website and social media accounts will be changed immediately. “We are taking a conservative, cost-conscious approach to the rollout, however, elements such as the website and social media accounts will be changed immediately,” he said.

Cr demands immediate action to save hatchlings From page 1 However during council’s general meeting Cr Brian Stockwell said he had a different view to the panel, calling for the Mary River Cod to be added to the list, citing 30 years work in the recovery of both Mary River Cod and turtle and a knowledge that the cod were evident in Noosa Shire but there was not the certainty of the turtle. The addition of the Mary River Cod upset the Noosa Nine catch cry which had previously been established and was expected to be used as a marketing tool for the venture, but the suggestion was made it be replaced with Noosa Nine and Co. Council officers said a consideration of the selection panel was to choose a species from each of of Noosa’s seven identified habitat types which are rainforests and scrubs, eucalypt forests and woodland, combined habitats, waterways and wetlands, heaths and coastal communities, saltmarsh and mangroves, and coastal and marine. The panel selected three species - koala, glossy black cockatoo and greater glider, all

listed endangered - from eucalypt forests and woodland habitat and one from each of the other habitats. Benefits delivered to the selected species through the road map actions are expected to also benefit other species in the habitats. Due to limited resources the decision was made to prioritise only one species and sea turtles (including the Loggerhead turtle) were chosen with selection of the remaining species expected over the next seven years. Officers said sea turtles were chosen because of increased occurrences of turtle strandings, the likelihood of obtaining other funding grants, council’s involvement in Sunshine Coast Council’s Turtle Care programs, the impacts on the species of climate change and decreases in recorded nesting, which this year numbered only two known nests in Noosa and none on Noosa North Shore. In response to questions raised by Cr Joe Jurisevic, officers said council’s ongoing restoration work conducted with community groups and organisations would be continued in addition to the road map.

Showdown winners named A Sunshine Coast film and TV competition that uncovers the region’s best up-and-coming screenwriters and producers has announced its 2023 winners. Each winner will receive mentoring, support and funding to elevate their projects, produce them locally, and deliver the final product at the Sunny Coast Showdown showcase festival on 24 June. The Sunny Coast Showdown also gives locals the opportunity to showcase their talents nationally and globally, with the potential to kickstart a career in the screen industry. Winner of one of two scripted categories, Ryan Butler, a video editor and director from Beerwah, hopes the accolade will help him return to an industry he loves. “I took a pause from making films to have a family, and this year was all about getting back into it,” he said. The Showdown received more than 90 high quality submissions from local writers in scripted, unscripted, music video and Indigenous categories, with organisers stunned at the amount of talent the event has uncovered. Learning and development professional Adam Szubrich moved to Mooloolaba during Covid and was “in shock” after winning the second scripted category with his screenplay, Slow Dating. “I did not expect to make a professional film on the coast,” he said. “I thought moving here was potentially limiting or destroying my writing career. This is bloody amazing.” Former federal cop from Bokarina Stephen Walker was the committee’s choice winner with his comedy script, Stripper Trade Off. He said the Showdown proved there was a bright future for a local screen industry. “I’m continually overwhelmed by the industry talent situated here,” he said. “We have the will here, the talent here, the

Maritime Safety Qld says speeding boaties risk lives The Noosa River was a non-compliance hot spot during a summer operation by Maritime Safety Queensland, where 55 per cent of vessels stopped were operating outside the rules. MSQ is now appealing to boaties to improve their attitude to safety after an operation over the school holidays to Australia Day found too many were ignoring the rules. MSQ’s specialist Maritime Enforcement Team conducted more than 400 hours of patrols over 5500 kilometres in 20 different waterways.

The most common offence was speeding followed by failure to carry or correctly use safety equipment. The Gold Coast Broadwater was the most troubling area, with 76 per cent of vessels intercepted being non-compliant and 65 per cent of boaties who were intercepted requiring action. MET officers intercepted 894 vessels and took enforcement action with 339 between 1 December 2022 and 31 January 2023. Of these, 48 per cent were found to be breaking the safety rules. Across the entire area covered by the MET,

the most common fines and warnings were for speeding (43 per cent). Safety equipment infringements, including lifejacket offences, were the second most common offence category. Speeding and failure to carry or use safety equipment are two of boating’s ‘fatal five’ mistakes followed by poor trip planning, failure to keep a proper lookout, and alcohol or drug use. Maritime Safety Queensland will redouble its efforts to educate boaties on the fatal five. Transport and Main Roads Minister, Mark Bailey MP said, “Boaties need to clearly un-

derstand the message that speeding costs lives on the water, just as it does on the roads.” “It is concerning that enforcement officers found such a high rate of unsafe behaviours out on our waterways this summer. “Having one in every two boaties doing the wrong thing is simply unacceptable. “In increasingly busy waterways, it is important boaties operate within the rules, use safety equipment and travel at a safe speed “Boaties can continue to expect to see MSQ enforcement officers active on the water this year.”

Lack of staff hits business From page 1 “Basically, we’ve gone from seven staff back to three, and we can’t find replacement staff, from technicians to sales people,” he said. “We went on Seek Employment, and the last application came out of Russia. We had plenty of applicants from Malaysia and Indonesia, but noone who was actually in Australia. Peter is the only senior staff member left, and he’s reaching 60 and looking like it’s time to hang up his boots so to speak. If I was to lose him, then I’d be in real strife. “Due to the after effects of Covid, you can’t get stock, and when you get it, you don’t know when it’s coming. It either comes three months earlier than they forecast, or 12 months later. I think every business is in that situation. “I turned 76 last October and I thought, I don’t need to do this anymore.” Sunshine Coast Marine will be closing the business at the end of the financial year in June. “We’ve started a closing down sale already. We’ve got 20 per cent off all our boats and trailers. We’ve got a big sale area in the middle of the shop with 50 per cent off what’s on the tables,” Ray said. “We certainly are encouraging people to come in for our closing down sale.” It’s been quite the journey for the business owner, who gave us a look back at where it all started. “We opened as a family business with myself, Norma and Mark Horton, who have passed away. They were well into their 90s, but they were with me all the way through. We started up at the end of Traders Lane in a shed, back in those early days in ‘74. Then we bought the place we’re in now around 76. It was a tin shed on Eumundi Road. We were here originally for 16 years until we bought the place opposite Madills and renovated that. Then we sold that and we moved back here four years ago.”

Ray Scholes from Sunshine Coast Marine. Ray has seen the Noosa Shire progress and change over time, having first moved to Noosa with his family at the age of 12 in 1958. “I moved to Tewantin Primary School in 6th Grade, and then went on to Pomona High School, and then went to university and failed. I tried to become a chemist, but that didn’t work,” he laughed.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL It worked out alright in the end. “It won’t be a sad ending. I’m not personally leaving the area. It’s just time to pull up stumps so to speak,” Ray said. “I’d like to thank the community and our staff immensely for their support. We’ve been providing a service, both in sales and service... whether it was good or bad, but we were here

every day for an awful lot of years, and we couldn’t have done it without our loyal customer base.” Visit Sunshine Coast Marine at 122 Eumundi-Noosa Rd, Noosaville to say goodbye to the team and check out their closing down sale.

Final blueprint review opportunity for community

A recent accident on Pomona Kin Kin Road.

Slowing on Kin Kin Road In response to community concerns, the speed limit on Kin Kin Road in Pomona, between the Exhibition Street and Subway Avenue intersections will be reduced. A speed limit review had been completed on a 1.2-kilometre section known locally as Factory Street. The new signs will be installed in midMarch. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said, “When looking at speed limits a range of factors are considered, including road function, roadside environment, prevailing traffic speeds and crash history.“ “Driving to the conditions, including speeds appropriate to the environment, saves lives and I urge all motorists to observe the

changes when they come into effect. “The Palaszczuk Government will be delivering almost $3.1 billion worth of road and transport infrastructure projects across the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas over the next four years. “We’ve listened to the community and the existing 60km/hour speed limit will be reduced to 50km/hour on this stretch near the shops. “The recommendation to permanently lower the speed limit was endorsed by the local Speed Management Committee following the review. “The committee included representatives from the Queensland Police Service, Noosa Shire Council and TMR.“

It’s time for the community to give Noosa Council’s Corporate Plan 2023-2028 the final tick of approval. The strategic, high-level visionary document outlines a roadmap to advance the vision of council and the community around five strategic pillars. Council wants feedback from residents, business owners and other key stakeholders to ensure the plan caters to the community’s changing needs and expectations. The plan can be reviewed on the Your Say Noosa website until Sunday 26 March. “We have consulted extensively with the community, receiving over 1000 submissions to identify the key strategies, initiatives and service areas that will help council deliver our shared goals and outcomes over the next five years,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. The Corporate Plan is structured around five strategic pillars: Environment, Future, Prosperity, Community and Excellence. Supporting each pillar are clear objectives, key performance indicators and proposed outcomes. Cr Stewart said the corporate plan has a key focus on protecting the amenity of Noosa, enhancing our lifestyles and preserving our rich natural environment. “Noosa and our council are going through a period of change, so we need to ensure that we continue to focus on the prosperity of the shire, protect the local environment and improve the community’s social wellbeing,” she said. “Central to the success of this plan will be our commitment to continued discussions with the community plus providing sound financial and asset management,”

Noosa Council Mayor Clare Stewart with CEO Scott Waters. Cr Stewart said. Council wants to hear from the community about the draft plan, prior to its formal adoption. “As a council, we remain committed to collaborating with our residents, business leaders and community groups to continue to make Noosa a great place to live, work and visit. “This has been a robust and important piece of work to ensure the plan accurately reflects our community’s aspirations for the future,” Cr Stewart said.

Call to protect our wildlife By Abbey Cannan A Noosa wildlife rescuer is calling for people to take more care after an ‘ongoing failure to protect our wildlife’. Peregian Beach wildlife advocate Goetz von Schweinfurth has spent years rescuing local wildlife, particularly seabirds, and delivering them to wildlife hospitals and carers for rehabilitation. Goetz said there had been an influx of wildlife injuries and deaths in the area from bush turkeys being killed by dogs and people, seabirds being injured by jet skiers and fishing hooks, and freckled ducks being run over by reckless drivers. Goetz said one of the worst areas for wildlife injuries was Noosa Woods. “It’s turning into a killing field as every day people go to the dog beach, let their dogs off the leash, and they go directly after the bush turkeys who can’t get away,” he said. “There have also been serious ongoing injuries from fishing lines and hooks to seabirds. The local fishermen are great, and they are also fed up and sick of these careless idiots causing deadly injuries to seabirds. “One of the worst injuries recently was to a beautiful seagull, which had such a large hook, it had broken its hip and was bleeding badly. “People do not even report most cases as they don’t want to be caught, or are embarrassed and just don’t care.” Goetz said a girl reported to him another horrible incident that happened three weeks ago in Noosa Woods on the oval. “Three baby bush turkeys were caught by eight young boys who then cut their heads off and laid them back on the ground off the footpath,” Goetz said. “It was reported to me as I go through the Noosa Woods every second day, through to the mangroves, and check on every turkey mound and all the wildlife. A young girl saw the inci-

Two speckled ducks which were allegedly killed by a driver in Noosa. dent and drew me a map of exactly where the bodies were dumped.” He said there was another incident where two freckled ducks were killed by a reckless driver. “We believe it was on purpose, as the two ducks are a pair that cross the road at the bottom of Safari Street, Noosa Heads from their safe retreat in the National Park. Again, the driver did not care and was witnessed by a family walking on the footpath. “It’s very critical that we care and look after our wildlife, as Noosa is a magnet for tourists, who do not know, or do not care about wildlife. “We need more awareness and signs, as there are no signs anywhere along the river telling people to be careful and protect our wildlife. “We have so many committees and river authorities, and no one works together. If we don’t work together, all is going to disappear, as serious pollution and the killing of innocent wildlife continues.” If people see a pelican, seabird, other wildlife injured or ill they can contact Goetz Schweinfurth on 0466 307 536 or phone 1300ANIMAL.

Vale to Alan ‘Fox’ Rogers By Phil Jarratt Former clown and hippie, lateral thinker, sometime novelist and Noosa Council’s director of community services until his retirement in 2018, Alan ‘Fox’ Rogers died peacefully last week after a long battle with cancer. Fox was the name he used during his clowning career, but over a 30-year career in local government, including 14 years with Noosa Council, it remained apt, for beneath an easy-going manner and relaxed presence was a keen mind and a store of wisdom – crazy like a fox. In his retirement, Fox wrote a novel, Wanderer, in which his hero, perhaps based on his younger self, travels the country roads of Queensland and beyond, finding camaraderie with the characters of the road. Reviewer Alan Lander wrote: “Wanderer is an easy pageturner, a classic Australian yarn that shows an understanding and an appreciation of the history, splendour and complexity of this vast land. It should be required reading.” Noosa Today asked two of his former colleagues and closest friends to remember their Fox. FORMER NOOSA MAYOR TONY WELLINGTON Fox Rogers was a most unlikely bureaucrat, which is probably why he was one of the best. From an early life as a clown and hippie he morphed into a long and successful career in local government. It was a strange trajectory, but the nickname and earring were a constant reminder of the real Fox cunningly lurking behind the civil servant. I met Fox when I was elected to the Sunshine Coast Council. Among other duties, Fox expertly ran the Local Government Disaster Management Group. From my perspective, he kept me sane during my time on the regional council, regularly walking into my office for an in-depth chat about anything except council business.

Fox Rogers (right) with then mayor Tony Wellington in 2018. Fox was a deep thinker and armchair philosopher. He was also incredibly empathetic. This trait came into play when he took over the thorny issue of John’s Landing under the revamped Noosa Council. Around 90 adults and children were living rough in a dilapidated camping area on the Noosa River. When Council purchased the land, Fox established the Noosa Community Partnership Roundtable that brought together government agencies, service providers and welfare organisations. Under Fox’s leadership, all of the individuals living at John’s Landing were relocated, with family groups mostly being housed in the local area. In a very real way, dozens of lives were improved. Other projects which have Fox’s influence indelibly stamped on them include the

Peregian Beach Rufous Street development, including Digital Hub and new Community House, the rescue of the Cooroy Memorial Hall, and the Noosaville Library upgrade. Fox’s humanitarian leanings were also an asset in developing a range of policies and strategies for Council, not the least being the Noosa Social Strategy and even a Human Rights Policy. Fox was also committed to the rights of First Nations people, and he developed strong, cooperative ties with the Kabi Kabi representatives. I’m just skimming the surface of Fox’s legacy here in Noosa. His greater legacy, of course, is his influence within his family and among his circle of friends. I was honoured to be one of those friends. Life doesn’t reward you with meeting truly exceptional people very often,

but I can genuinely say that Fox was one of them. A more honest, intelligent and compassionate individual I have yet to meet. FORMER NOOSA COUNCIL CEO BRETT DE CHASTEL I worked with Fox on and off for 15-plus years and visited him a lot during his battle with cancer over the last few years. We were good friends so this has been a pretty tough week. He was a genuine character and I will miss him greatly. Fox was one of the true characters I worked with at Noosa Council. Innovative, dedicated and community minded, Fox was the driving force behind many of Council’s best projects, including the Cooroy Library, and making sure that our community was protected during natural disasters. I will miss him as both a colleague and friend.

Trailblazers share tales of women supporting women

Leuca is in hospital undergoing treatment for burns.

Help Leuca A Pomona family is in need of assistance after their young son, Leuca, sustained horrific burns to his feet, ankles and legs in a freak accident, and is receiving ongoing medical treatment in Brisbane. Klyne Love, a friend of the boy’s parents, Ben and Ruby Smith, set up a gofundme page to provide some financial aid so that they can be present with Leuca during his treatment without additional stress and worry. Leuca received severe burns to his feet after the accident at their home involving a hot water system that malfunctioned and overflowed. The 16-month-old is unable to walk and is expected to remain in hospital for weeks undergoing surgery and treatment.

“I created this Gofundme as a way for their community near and far to come together to offer them some tangible support to help alleviate some of the financial burden from all of the additional costs involved in an accident of this nature, such as transport and being unable to work,” Klyne said. “Hopefully we can create a buffer so that they can be present with Leuca without additional stress and worry. I’m sure they are maxed out in this department already.” Any donation would be so gratefully received. For more information and to donate visit gofundme.com/f/support-for-sweet-leucafamily

On International Women’s Day LNP Noosa hosted an event entitled Trailblazers, attracting a diverse guest list including small business owners, leaders, advocates, and newcomers to the Noosa community. Event organiser and LNP Noosa branch president Leigh McCready moderated a panel discussion at the event, featuring accomplished women who shared their unique stories of perseverance and success. “We had an incredible panel who were inspiring to listen to,“ Ms McCready said. “Former Brisbane Lord Mayor and UQ Senator, Sallyanne Atkinson, entertained the audience with her humorous stories about leadership and recognition of generational changes, as well as her experience as a grandmother to 13 children. “Sharlene Kelly, a successful high-performance coach and recently appointed Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) canoe sprint coach, shared her inspiring journey of being hired for her first full-time role at 41 after years of dedication to a male-dominated sport. Sharlene spoke passionately about her dreams of ensuring the Olympic podium was full of athletes from the Sunshine Coast under her leadership and her own achievements in breaking the glass ceiling in the surf lifesaving culture. “Roz White, a dear friend, and owner of five White’s IGA supermarkets and chair of the Sunshine Coast 2032 Olympics board, spoke of her resilience and decade-long journey starting with packing shelves at their first convenience store. She shared how she built her business empire in a male-dominated industry and succeeded through hard work and determination.

Leigh McCready, Sallyanne Atkinson, Roz White, Sara Leonardi McGrath, Sharlene Kelly and Mayor Clare Stewart “Fashion designer Sara Leonardi McGrath, a global citizen and Noosa resident, emphasised the importance of friendships and shared the importance of checking in and maintaining her long-term friendships while forging new connections as a fashion designer and Noosa resident. She also highlighted the need to acknowledge the men in our lives who are some of our biggest supporters.’ “The LNP Noosa event showcased the diversity of experiences and backgrounds of women in leadership and their contributions to society. The panellists demonstrated the importance of women supporting each other and the power of collective strength and resilience in inspiring change.” The LNP Noosa Branch’s celebration of International Women’s Day was a reminder of the incredible accomplishments of women and the critical role they play in shaping our communities, Ms McCready said.

Retired judge speaks out We all know most victims of domestic violence are women. Twenty-three per cent of Australian women have been sexually assaulted and the incidence is increasing, retired judge Margaret McMurdo told guests at The Zonta Club of Noosa’s International Women’s Day event last Wednesday. It’s little wonder International Women’s Day theme Women’s Rights are Human Rights has

encouraged people to speak out about these issues, she said. A trailblazer in the world for women, whose legal career which began in 1976 and has been marked with a long list of achievements and accolades, Ms McMurdo sparked hope when she spoke about improvements to the way victims of DV have been treated during her time in the legal system and the crimes against

them addressed. The community’s understanding of women’s issues had improved, she said. “There have been changes in my court in the treatment of sexual assaults.” Many have looked to politicians for change, calling for an end to gender violence. In 1991 Ms McMurdo became the first

woman to be appointed a judge of the District Court of Queensland and the Childrens Court of Queensland (1993–98). She was appointed president of the Court of Appeal, Supreme Court of Queensland in 1998, the first woman appointed as a presiding judge of an appellate court in Australia and in 2001 received a Companion of the Order of Australia for services to the law.

Slow Food dinner to recognise Gympie, Noosa producers and providers as momentum builds for 2023. ERLE LEVEY takes a look at what is on offer.

Slow Food gathers pace It’s the chance to meet and support the farmers, producers and suppliers from the Noosa and Gympie regions who put good, clean and fair food on our tables. Slow Food Noosa president Jason Lewis said it would be a night of celebration on Monday 20 March, when members and friends welcome the 2023 Snail of Approval recipients. The evening is in recognition of the quality of food and produce available, whether at the farm gate, community markets, retailers or on the plate at restaurants and cafes. “Here is the opportunity to meet with our amazing farmers and producers and enjoy an outstanding dinner from local produce created by the dedicated staff at View Restaurant at Peppers Resort Noosa,’’ Jason said. “The bespoke dinner includes a threecourse meal, and beverage on arrival supplied by Amrita Park Meadery. “Head chef at View Restaurant, Andy Wilcox will be sourcing the freshest local produce available so expect a treat for the senses.’’ A local producers’ expo will be set up at 5pm prior to the dinner, which again provides the chance to get to know the faces behind the farms. Slow Food Noosa delegates who attended the Slow Food International food festival - Terra Madre Salone del Gusto in Turin, Italy, last September - will be present at the night. Historically the strongest delegation from Australia, included were Jason Lewis, Noosa school teacher Di Seels, Scott Andrews of Tagigan Road Produce at Goomboorian, Andy Coates and Nicola Cleaver of Amrita Park Meadery at Pomona, and University of the

After that is the chocolate brownie with Cooloola Berries sauce and chantilly cream, or the tiramisu with Noosa Black coffee. OVERCOMING CHALLENGES For Kilkivan producers Piggy in the Middle, the objective of Mason and Krystal, Dean and Kate Mayne, has always been to employ ethical farming principles and practices. Primarily, this applies to the way they treat their animals and the land they farm. As regenerative farmers they utilise farm management systems to improve their land. This involves using our animals to graze in the same way that animals do naturally. Eating and foraging in one area, before moving on to another, fertilising, aerating and improving the topsoil as they go. Dean Mayne said farming was forever challenging. One of the biggest lessons learned in the past seven years has been you cannot do everything. “It’s often best to do less ... and better.’’ After last year’s damaging floods the two families had to rebuild the farm, the fences and the roads. “There were some stock loss and it was pretty hard there for a while,’’ Dean said. “Other than that it’s been awesome. “We’ve created some new markets within our Gympie, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane catchment. “It was an amazing winter and that set things up for summer. “The heat has been stressing out the chooks, but it’s simply a matter of keeping the water up to them and keeping them cool.

From page 17 That helps to ensure the the stability of the community, and the goods and services it can offer. “It will be a celebration of new and existing Slow Food Noosa members who are doing so much to put Noosa and the Gympie regions on the map as far as fresh, quality food grown and produced right here,’’ Jason said. “The dinner signifies the momentum that is building this year. “It’s an opportunity to get all the producers together and recognise these efforts This is also an opportunity to get all the producers together, and meet View Restaurant head chef Andrew Wilcox who will tantalise taste buds by utilising food from among our producers. “Members and guests will get to learn and know who our producers are, and discover the quality we offer here. “It’s good for the farmer because they can get their product out there, but also good for the consumer as they can make an educated choice … am I going to buy my tomatoes from the market, from the grower or from the supermarket? STANDING UP FOR LOCAL PRODUCE The critical point is about utilising slow local food here, in our restaurants and cafes for the local people to be able to enjoy it. It’s a driving force of what is being sought with a Snail of Approval - that suppliers and businesses are proud to display the fact they are using local produce. The three-course dinner with choice at View Restaurant will basically be 90 percent local. Andrew Wilcox is a Noosa local and has been at Peppers Noosa for eight years. His biggest learning curve was having worked with highly-regarded professional chef Matt Golinski for five years. Matt has a passion for creating cuisine with fresh, seasonal and local ingredients. “He’s a friend of mine so I’ve been learning

“The pigs love it ... they’ve always got mud holes.’’ The philosophy at Piggy in the Middle is to provide their animals with the best life possible. In turn the animals improve the condition of the land. Their aim is to produce chemical-free products that are of the highest quality, that are better nutritionally, and that have great natural flavours. Using ethical farming practices is more difficult and labour intensive but more satisfying and produces a much better environmental outcome. The farm was set up in 2016 and by moving the animals around the farm they started to see the benefits for them and the land. Their business was built up at farmers’ markets but now is more interactive for customers with drop-offs or pick-ups. The pigs are raised on pasture, and are heritage bred, creating more flavour. The animals are processed on the farm. The sausages are preservative free and by using a smoker they can provide nitrate-free bacon and smallgoods. “We are getting a lot more restaurants looking for clean, wholesome, free-range, pastureraised food that is local,’’ Dean said. “They really want to know the farmer. “A lot of the chefs come out to the farm and see what it’s all about and then update their staff on it.’’ THREE GENERATIONS OF FARMERS At Forage Farms, right in the heart of the Mary Valley at Kybong, the Andrews family live and breathe regenerative farming. They have been farming regeneratively for three generations. Peter Andrews, Stuart’s dad, is the pioneer of Natural Sequence Farming (NSF). Stuart runs courses in NSF via their business Tarwyn Park Training. While Stuart and Megan’s boys, Hamish and Lachlan, work full time at the farm and in their training business, learning from their dad and Grandad to improve their land. Hamish and Lachlan run regular farm tours.

I spoke to Megan on the phone from Tasmania, where they were running a natural sequence farming field day at Ripple Farm, near Richmond. “They did our training course in New South Wales years ago and have been waiting for a chance to have us do a walking tour of their farm and and advise on contour ploughing to slow the flow of the water from the land.’’ Saying that, Forage Farms fared well in last year’s flooding of the Mary River. Due to the forward planning of paddocks, most of their animals were on the high ground while cattle were moved up from the river flats. “It was fairly busy for a while though,’’ Megan said. “It’s amazing what that bit of land can cope with.’’ The production of eggs at the Forage Farm is going well, Megan said. While the disruption to transport from Covid and the flooding impacted major retailers,

it was the local farmers such as Forage who kept produce on the shelves at the smaller, independent outlets. They have been building the meat chickens and beef side of the business, and that has been well received. A farm store is operated by appointment, but most produce is sold on-line and clients can choose whether it’s to be a farm pick-up or delivered by courier to the door from Gympie to the Gold Coast. Greater rotation of crops and animals on the farm is working well, Megan said. “It’s important to have biodiversity of animals and plants to keep everything ticking along. “Managing the hydrology of the property is important for us ... slowing the water down and utilising it and the nutrients rather than losing it out to sea. “You are filtering that water in the process.’’

Megan said it was important to support local farmers. “It’s a matter of knowing where your food comes from. “We have seen that supply chains can disappear overnight. “Build a relationship with your local farmer and know how they grow their food.’’ Slow Food’s night to celebrate Snail of Approval recipients raises community awareness about what is needed to ensure communities are founded on good, clean, fair food and environmental practices. Isn’t that something we should all aspire to? SNAIL OF APPROVAL In 2017, Slow Food Noosa launched Australia’s first ‘Snail of Approval’ program after delegates visited Italy for Terra Madre Salone del Gusto the year before. The program is to recognise local participants in the global Slow Food philosophy of ‘good, clean and fair’ food. It continues to attract a diverse range of producers and food artisans; restaurant owners and chefs keen to be part of a global network actively working together and towards educating and engaging consumers on the benefits of choosing fresh, local and seasonal food with a focus on fairness. The program features a snail logo that provides a quality assurance guide for clients and customers. It also encourages stronger networks and relationships with producers and outlets including cafes, restaurants and retailers. The program currently has about 80 recognised Snails from Caloundra to Gympie involved in food production, creation and directly selling to consumers. Businesses can be recognised if they are making efforts to produce food which is good, clean and fair. GOOD: seasonal, local, quality, flavoursome and healthy food CLEAN: sustainable production with low impact on the environment FAIR: accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers and staff/ workers.

The loss of a pet can be heartbreaking, according to a long term diary study conducted in the UK from 1925 – 1960 where three pet owners were encouraged to record on a daily basis their life with a pet. In all three diaries the pain of pet loss was recorded reflecting the immense emotional power of the animals. Mary Valley Pet Cremation has recognised the importance of the special role that pets now play in day to day lives. Which is the reason they honour pets with the same respect and dignity they would extend to any other beloved family member. Mary Valley Pet cremation began with an idea by German born Matthias Lochthofen to offer a personalised service to the people of the Gympie region. They offer a regular service in the Fraser Coast, Sunshine Coast, Noosa and surrounds and most recently the South Burnett.

They have many package options to suit their clients, all designed to honour and remember that special four legged family member. Their service is available from Monday to Friday and on the weekend by appointment. Owning a pet will change your life and bring you joy, offering unconditional love and are always there when we need them. And when the time comes to say goodbye Mary Valley Pet Cremation will be there when you need them. Phone Matthias on 0456 001 585 for dignified collection, respectful and individual cremations. Along with their exclusive basic package, they also provide a variety of wooden boxes, urns and keepsakes.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK IN OUR BLOOD ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

The poignant music of the ’80s is the entrancing extra character in this musical drama based on the play by Adriano Cappelletta. Starring Matt Day (Rake), Tim Draxl (A Place to Call Home), and Jada Alberts (Mystery Road), it’s a moving and at times surreal four-part drama exploring a pivotal moment in Australia’s history when the AIDS crisis hit. Embracing hope and the power of the individual, it chronicles how this country became a world leader in AIDS prevention. Tonight’s engrossing premiere kicks off on election night, 1983: in a crucial turn of events, for gay man David (Draxl) it means a new job as the senior adviser to the Health Minister.

GETAWAY Nine, Saturday, 5.30pm

Former MasterChef contestant turned TV foodie marvel Poh Ling Yeow (pictured) returns to the Getaway fold for a new sightseeing excursion fresh from her French river cruise jaunt. The home-taught cook is a dab hand at teaching anyone how to whip up delicious fare, but it’s Poh’s inspiring zest for life and fun-loving personality that make her the perfect travel presenter. Tonight, she rugs up to explore a magical, wintery Budapest. On the other side of the world, David Whitehill pulls on the togs for an epic day at Jamberoo Action Park, NSW’s biggest water park, and Matty Mills visits WA’s World Heritage-listed Shark Bay. It’s an exciting weekend escape – from the comfort of the couch.

CHEF ANTONIO’S RECIPES FOR REVOLUTION SBS, Monday, 9.25pm

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? UK SBS, Tuesday, 7.30pm

Cooking shows are traditionally catnip for hungry people who are at a loose end about what to serve their ravenous and demanding clan each night. This new feature-length documentary, starring Antonio de Benedetto (pictured), is something else: food for the soul. From Australian filmmaker Trevor Graham (Make Hummus Not War), it follows the Italian chef and his restaurant and hotel, which is staffed by young men and women living with Down syndrome who come from across Italy to train and work in hospitality. Spiced with humour, the delicious food, gorgeous scenery and fascinating characters give rise to a delectably sweet, inspiring story.

When a series has confidently pedalled through a whopping 18 seasons like this one has, it’s something of a cultural phenomenon. The older generations are traditionally WDYTYA’s biggest fans, but this season there’s perhaps a shift to nab a younger audience – a new generation of ancestry buffs. A younger cast of participants, including comedian Joe Lycett and soccer player Alex Scott, have traced their family tree and the trend continues tonight with Pixie Lott (pictured). The singer-songwriter is keen to confirm the family story that she has Italian ancestry from Verona, but instead she discovers ancestors battling poverty and hardship in London.

Eye of the storm: Tim Draxl leads the cast of In Our Blood as David.

The Katie Rose fundraising committee led by Carol Raye has had its first meeting and already has an impressive line-up of events underway. “And we have always room for more suggestions,” committee secretary Lena McCormack said. “Carol retired as board chairman at the end of last year but she still has our hospice very much at heart and in her new role she has the enthusiastic backing of the rest of the committee - Pat Atkinson, Helene Greg, Renee Smith, Kay Hennessy, Sarah Grandison and Simon Gamble.” She said local fashion label Exoticaathletica had generously donated a huge amount of stock – Palazzo Pants, crop tops, dresses, tshirts, Capri leggings and the like. “They are currently on sale at our Pop-Up Shop at The J until this Friday (March 17) from 8.30am -5.30pm and Saturday(March 18) from 8.30am – 2pm. All items are $20.” Lena said the committee had also introduced a weekly draw for $2000 and a video asking people what they would do with $2000 if they won it was being made. “We already have people signed up and we are stepping up advertising. “We’re holding a $1000 Reverse Raffle Lunch on Monday, March 27, at Noosa Golf Club in Tewantin starting at12pm. Tickets are $45 each and includes a two-course meal and a ticket into a $1000 Reverse Raffle. “It will be a lot of fun. A reverse raffle is a bit different. It is not the first ticket that is pulled from the barrel that wins, it is the last ticket drawn that is the winner. We are very grateful to Noosa Van Lines who have donated the $1000 prize and the Noosa Golf Club for their generous support. “We also have gift baskets as prizes and a beautiful, knitted bed cover donated by the Anglican Church of Noosa. “To book tickets go

Food waste is an enormous worldwide environmental issue, from emitted greenhouse gases to the resources wasted in creating that food. This is the focus of our next Friday Forum on 24 March with Michele Lipner, the coordinator and founder of OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie. Since its foundation in 2014, this local OzHarvest program has diverted and redistributed over 800,000 kg of quality food – the equivalent of over 2.2 million meals – to community members in need. Michele will expand on the topics of food insecurity and food waste, providing an overview of the challenges and achievements in the Sunshine Coast and in Gympie over the last 8.5 years. She will delve into the issue of food waste, including why we waste so much food, where in the production/consumption cycle we waste the most food, the impact of food waste on the environment and what each of us can do to reduce the amount of food going to landfill, thereby not only helping feed people in need, but helping save our planet. Michele spent almost 25 years in the international aid and development sector and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie. She was recently recognised for her efforts on behalf of OzHarvest by being awarded the 2023 Sunshine Coast (Council) Citizen of the Year.

Appreciation for veterans Australia owes a great debt to our veterans who helped secure our freedom, and the Australian Government is releasing a new certificate of appreciation to honour their service and sacrifice. Veterans who served overseas in Australia’s Defence Forces from the Second World War on, and those who served on the home front during the Second World War, are invited to apply for the certificate. Veterans who served overseas in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations, who provided logistics support in Vietnam, or served on the home front during World War II are eligible to receive the certificate under the guidelines set by the Australian Government. Please contact my office on 4121 2936 or email llew.obrien.mp@aph.gov.auto apply for a certificate of appreciation. Interest rates and cost of living We have now seen 10 consecutive interest rate rises by the independent Reserve Bank of Australia. The banks need to pass on these rises to deposit holders quickly as they move to raise interest rates on borrowers. These interest rate rises are biting, and the cost of living keeps on going up, despite the government promising lower interest rates and lower living costs. The cost of living will be made worse if the government’s proposal to impose a 10 per cent increase on fuel taxes and registration charges on truckies proceeds, costing the sector an additional $2.6 billion, which will be added onto the price of everything travelling on a truck, so we’ll all end up paying more.

Llew O’Brien is calling for mobile blackspot funding for Wide Bay. From 20 March there will be an increase to the age pension and supplement of $37.50 for singles and $28.20 for each member of a couple. If you would like a copy of my age pension guide, please contact my office and I’d be pleased to send one to you. Mobile black spots With the threat of natural disasters in the Wide Bay region like bushfires, floods, and our many dangerous roads, it’s important that people can contact emergency services. We also need to make sure that families and businesses can connect and communicate, so it’s important for the government to keep on working with telecommunication companies to extend and

improve the mobile phone network. The former Liberal and Nationals Coalition Government understood this and extended the mobile phone network into black spot areas by providing subsidies for telecommunication companies to install towers in communities and in locations where it wasn’t economically viable for them to do so alone. Across Australia, the Coalition Government’s Mobile Phone Black Spot Program leveraged $875 million to invest in 1270 new mobile stations. In Wide Bay, the Coalition Government worked with telcos to extend the mobile phone network to 19 locations. There are still many areas across the 14,227sq km Wide Bay

electorate that need coverage, which is why it’s disappointing that the Labor Government’s Improving Mobile Coverage Round of the program cherry-picked 54 sites, with just four of them in Queensland, and none in Wide Bay. The Coalition’s Mobile Black Spot program was driven by the community, with people able to nominate black spot locations. In contrast, the Labor Government’s Improving Mobile Coverage Round was only available to the 54 locations that were hand-picked by the Minister. According to the government’s own website, the roll out of this round won’t be completed until 2025. More rounds of the program are expected, but the government hasn’t released details as to when these will be available. If you live or travel through black spot areas like so many of us do here in Wide Bay, the Labor Government needs to continue to support new investments to extend the mobile phone network, just as the former Coalition Government did. Easter road safety Easter holidays are a great time to get away for a short break, but our roads are always extremely busy with everyone keen to make the most of their time off. Please, put road safety first and drive to the conditions, wear your seatbelt, observe the speed limit, and don’t drive tired or impaired by alcohol or drugs. Every decision you make behind the wheel is important. Let’s make sure that everyone gets to their holiday destination and home again safely.

Hospital parking needed I am not aware of who is responsible for the current insufficient parking at Noosa Hospital. Trying to find parking to visit ill relatives, take a sick child or relative to triage. Or keeping a PM appointment with a specialist is a nightmare. Even more so if you are elderly and walking far is a problem. Perhaps some arrangements with current paid transport by mini buses from a nearby designated parking station (with ample parking) to deliver visitors to the main entrance and return on the hour could be considered. A taxi is sometimes out of the question due to the cost in today’s current economic climate for the elderly. In fact, not only the elderly. I realise there are places providing this type of free transport and in return they provide excellent food, service and entertainment. Noosa Hospital is pushed to their limits trying to continue with their record of excellence. Mostly due to the amount of new arrivals as permanents or holidays makers. We read about Hastings Street traffic problems and its affect on business there catering for those out to enjoy what it has to offer. At the other end of town is a resort catering for the sick and in some cases due to incidents in Hastings Street and surrounding areas. We boast free bus service’s to entice and ease our traffic problem. There are other very important areas requiring free assistance without the long walks to reach that final destination we all may take one day. Noosa Hospital. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

Rework beach plan Reading the Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan (EBFMP), myself and other fellow residents are quite concerned with the hidden intentions and motive of Noosa Council and are seeking clarity, honesty and a reworked plan. Firstly, the core basis for the EBFMP was to set out strategies to manage erosion. Despite this, the Plan does not give priority to addressing the main causes of erosion on the Eastern Beaches which occurs as a result of stormwater and other discharge into the sand-based creeks, which then flow onto the beaches and into the sea. Over the years there has been a substantial increase in the volume of runoff through these creeks as the built environment to the west has expanded. Council’s stormwater discharge policies and requirements are directing ever increasing volumes of water into these creeks and this is causing obvious and increasing erosion when the discharge crosses the beach. In addition is the problem of the discharge of treated sewage and other pollutants into Burgess Creek by Unity Water with Council’s full knowledge. To launch a draft Plan and budget without dealing with the erosion issues as the main priority is a poor use of ratepayer money as it doesn’t fulfil the original purpose of this plan. If Council is serious about dealing with erosion, the obvious major causes need to be addressed first. Secondly, Chapter 25 of the plan – Foreshore Tenure and Gazettal – references potentially altering the status of the dune and vegetated areas which would mean potentially

restricting recreational activities. Would this mean the community won’t be able to access the foreshore and will be locked out of these natural areas? Noosa residents and visitors cherish the Eastern Beaches as a highly valued community asset for recreational purposes and we take great pride in looking after them. It feels like Council, as Trustee of these areas, doesn’t understand or care about this and has no qualms preventing future generations from experiencing the enjoyment and beauty they provide. The plan needs to be amended so erosion risks are addressed and so the vague yet alarming language around gazettal changes make it clear Council has no intention of locking up our foreshore. If these changes aren’t made, it will be devastating for this community. Rod Sykes, Sunshine Beach

Foreshore plan fails to address fire risk Noosa Council’s Foreshore Management Plan fails to address the real and inevitable threat of bushfires due to increased fuel loads. For our community, it’s hard to forget the devastating Peregian Beach fires of 2019. It’s high time an on-ground assessment took place along the foreshore to measure the potential impact of a fire to the community and ascertain appropriate prevention activities to minimise this risk. The Be prepared for storm and bushfire safety guide that local libraries are currently distributing, quotes Rural Fire Service Sunshine Coast Area Director, Andrew Allan, stating ‘People who don’t live in the bush are still truly affected by the fire – just look at the Peregian fires recently. Just because you don’t live in the bush doesn’t mean you’re safe from wildfires.’

It shouldn’t just be on residents to get ready for fires, we need Council to come to the party too and apply its own bushfire management plans, before it’s too late. Pat Rogers Sunrise Beach

Memory virus We don’t think, we know that an epidemic of memory loss affected witnesses who doubled down at the Robodebt Royal Commission- two former PMs, four former Department Ministers and Public Service bosses/staff. Was there a virus inside the Canberra bubble? Just asking. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Helmets save lives Has Noosa given up enforcing helmet rules for riders of bicycles and electric scooters? It seems every second cyclist and e-scooterist on our paths and roads does without. I partly think if riders eschew these obvious life-saving casks that’s their freedom of choice, but I’m badgered by my children asking why they have to wear bike helmets and others don’t. I explain everyone must, it’s common sense to do so, and there’s a fine ($143 in case you were wondering) if they get caught. “Why don’t the police catch them?“ the kids ask. I say I don’t know. As a non-helmeted pre-teen e-scooted past me last weekend, eyes fixated on the phone in his hand ($1078 fine, in case you were wondering), it hit home that if there’s no fear of laws being enforced, why bother complying? The number of new laws for e-scooters and e-bikes may be overkill, and some of the fines brutal, but why have them if they’re not policed? You can’t ride an e-scooter over 12km/h

on footpaths; kids under 12 can’t ride them nor can you have a passenger, while under 16s must be supervised by an adult. Have a day out in Noosa and you’ll see all these rules - plus the helmet and phone ones - are regularly ignored. This isn’t just some old man rant. I, and no doubt others, would love to hear from local police on the issue, and from local medical professionals who, very sadly, must deal with the life-changing injuries (or worse) when things go wrong. Please, riders, protect your peanut and put a helmet on. Iain Curry, Castaways Beach

The poverty cycle When I was at Coolum High a wonderful history teacher (Mrs Lawrence) taught us about the Cycle of Poverty. Without going into details it was a idea validated by generations of social scientists and research. It seemed to have a lot to do with the existence of poverty itself. Why does poverty exist, I asked Mrs Lawrence? Well, she said it does have something to with educational opportunities but more to do with structural economics. She was not willing to go into the details of that at a high school level (not her remit) but bless her for telling the truth. Poverty is an entirely artificial construct that has very little to do with the actions of families. Many studies have concluded this. Community breakdown and its juvenile crime element is a direct result of anti-social capitalism and its friend, poverty. The answer is more community investment in people. Full employment. Diversifying educational institutions. The community as a whole is responsible for juveniles feeling alienated and acting rashly. No family is an island. Dylan White, Coolum Beach

It’s then all about the music (through until 5pm), with a line-up featuring Ampersand, Daryl James, Jam and Scones and The Steele Syndicate. About the bands: AMPERSAND Ampersand is an entertaining, energetic and ever evolving line-up of some of the best young and upcoming talent in Noosa and surrounds. Performing music from a variety of genres, with a distinctive and unique fusion style, the members share a strong work ethic and love of creating music. Ampersand took out the 1st Place Best Band and People’s Choice Awards at the 2022 Noosa Busking Competition and are working on originals with the goal of a debut album/EP. DARYL JAMES Multi-instrumentalist and award nominated singer songwriter Daryl James fuses heavy blues with the raw Celtic roots of his North Wales homeland. Wielding a wild array of stringed instruments and custom foot percussion, many a tall tale is sparked to life through his captivating live performances. From his humble beginnings as a factory worker and street busker, Daryl sold everything he owned and purchased his tickets to Australia, armed

Two EPs and a critically acclaimed album later, he has two international tours under his belt and has become a festival favourite. With an earthy blend of pure acoustic and gritty overdriven guitars, he plays with innovative tunings, intricate finger-picking and body percussion, to all-out driving blues/rock riffs and powerful solos. JAM and SCONES Having formed early last year, the 8-armed organism that is Jam and Scones are rapidly bursting onto the live music scene in Brisbane.

THE STEEL SYNDICATE The Steele Syndicate is all about the groove. The Brisbane-based octet is raucous, punchy and fun, with a genre-bending sound that reimagines elements of old school funk, reggae, ska and indie rock. The band packs a roaring, four-piece horn section and a rhythm section to match. They’ve completed numerous east coast tours and expanded their reach on the festival circuit, unleashing evolved, groovier-than-ever tunes onto audiences all around.

St Paddy’s Day at the Reef This Friday 17 March is St Patrick’s day, and Noosa is set to go all green and celebrate in true Irish style, with lots of music, dance, games, and craic at Flanagans Noosa Reef. Noosa’s only Irish pub is based on the hill near Noosa junction and live music begins at 11am with Those Folk, continuing until late with The Barleyshakes and the Alan Kelly Trio.

The Barleyshakes are one of Australia’s finest Irish bands having recently returned from touring Queensland, the ACT and New Zealand, they are thrilled to be back on home ground for this year’s Paddy’s day celebrations. Also performing with the Barleyshakes are the SAR Irish dancers and this promises to be a highlight of the day’s entertainment.

The Shakes kick off their lively set of music from 3.30pm. Those Folk are an amazing duo who blend Americana with Celtic music effortlessly. This duo specialise in beautifully crafted songs, embellished with beautiful harmony and world class musicianship. Alan Kelly hails from Dublin and will close live music for the day with his trio of Erin Sulman on drums and

Steve Cook on mandolin, and fiddle. A local DJ will spin fun party tunes until the wee hours from 11pm. The event is free entry, family friendly, food and drinks a plenty, and there will be games run throughout the day. Visit facebook.com/TheBarleyshakes for more info.

Celebrate Harmony Day with free events in Pomona Pomona and District Community House celebrate Harmony Day by hosting a range of three free events at the Lawson Shed on Friday 24 March. The day will start with an amusing and interesting sharing of cultural knowledge, a story telling workshop (9-11.30am) facilitated by local Albertina Banks, an Australian of Indonesian-Dutch ancestry. A teacher of 30 years, Albertina and her family migrated in 1962 as political refugees from West Papua, Indonesia. Not knowing a word of English, nor any clue about Australian culture, she has firsthand knowledge of the enormous challenges faced by new immigrant families in their resettlement and adjustment phase. The workshop will explore interesting topics of cultural differences in relation to: Respect and courtesy. Individualism and Collectivism; considered one of the most significant differences between Western and non-Western cultures. Communication issues due to language barriers that can cause serious misunderstanding. The workshop is appropriate for ages 10 years and up and also includes a very tasty morning tea where attendees can sample an interesting range of snacks from different cultures. The second event is from 3pm and open

Kirkman knows the score By Jim Fagan Man of action Kim Kirkman has three credos that he lives by: “Do it now,” “Catch the energy wave,” “Act.” And Noosa Chorale singers have responded to their guest conductor for their Magnificat concerts in May with an enthusiasm that’s made even taskmaster Kim, master musician, former Ten Tenor, charcoal entrepreneur and belly breather a happy man. Kim (49) from Conondale is a professional singer/violinist/harpist plus choir conductor for five choirs on the Sunshine Coast plus a music educator, arranger and instrument dealer. To find out more, Tune In asked him: What age were you decided to be a musician? I was 15. I had lots of wonderful music teachers. One man was very emotional about feeling music, his name was Colin Fox, and he was a conductor. He would get so animated with his conducting sometimes he would knock the cello player’s music off the stand during the performance. What did you do about it? I started on the violin when I was six. I didn’t practise and by the time I was 12 the inevitable came. “Look, you can’t really play the violin, why don’t you try the viola?“ So, I mangled that for a few more years and finally gave up when I was 15. After six months I asked my Mum why I was so sad all the time and she said maybe it because I had given up my music. So I took it back up and decided then that it really was essential for my mental health, which I thought was more important than other people’s ears. I did a Bachelor of Music in viola first, then a post grad diploma in voice and I took up the harp about 15 years ago. How did the Ten Tenors come about? I understand you were a co-owner, music director and performer. The Ten Tenors were put together for Channel

Annika Hinrich (soprano) and Leon Warnock (baritone) are two of the five soloists who are singing with Noosa Chorale in May.

Noosa Chorale rehearse for “Magnificat” with Kim Kirkman. 10’s 25th birthday party. It was meant to be a one off. We were asked, however, to do more and more gigs. The owner got sick of trying to hold together a bunch of silly boys so offered it up for someone else to take over. My business partner and I decided to do just that. We took it from a corporate act to a profitable business turning over $1 million a year in six years. When did you leave? I left in 2001 after six years. Once I was out of the way they got much better! What do you think of the music for the Chorale’s upcoming concert? I love the Magnificats we are performing. I think it is very interesting to have such different composers writing about the same subject. Vivaldi’s music is very close to my heart. I have this very strong sense of how his music should be performed. JS Bach is of course the epitome of genius. The CPE Bach is also interesting as a bridging work spanning the rococo period into the classical. It’s really great that we will be performing with professional soloists and or-

chestra. Working with such class really inspires a choir and I’m absolutely positive we will rise to the occasion. Is singing good for you? I believe so. It releases endorphins, makes you fit, keeps the brain active and provides excellent social opportunities, to name just a few of the benefits. Confidence is found inside the belly. I teach belly-breathing to singers. Low breathing will change your life! What’s life like for you now? I really enjoy doing lots of different things. I love physical labouring and am just about to start a biochar business. Biochar is basically charcoal that is put on the garden. It aids water and nutrient retention, provides homes for soil microbes and helps plants flourish. It is also a great way of stopping carbon dioxide escaping into the atmosphere. Magnificat Noosa Chorale. The J Noosa, Friday May 26 at 7pm and Saturday May 27 at 2pm. Tickets $45 at thej.com.au and 5329 6560.

Competitive play is heating up, literally, at the Noosa Croquet Club. The hotter humid weather has players on the courts with sunhats and suncream but lot of enthusiasm. A new program of coaching for less experienced players has begun, with those taking part pleased to be able to learn and practice some of those skills that they may have neglected during ordinary play. This program, organised by coaching coordinator Ed Boyd, will continue with short sessions each week, some on skills, some on rules. This innovation will hopefully see a general improvement in play. Some competitive play has begun. The regional Golf Croquet championships are currently under way, being held at different clubs on the Sunshine Coast. Noosa club hosted the Division 2 Singles Championships on Saturday 11 March. This was very well organised and ran like clockwork with a good team of helpers. The day was won by Sam Oaten from Caloundra Club, second was John Dark from Noosa. The Division 1 Singles will be held at Nambour on Wednesday 15 March and Noosa will then host the Division 3 Singles on Saturday 25 March. This will be a very busy day with a number of participants, many who have not played competition before. Referees will be on their toes! Again, Noosa will provide a well organised framework for this event. The Regional Doubles tournament was held at Caloundra Club on the 9 and 10 March. No results are available from this but a number of Noosa pairs competed and commented that it was a very busy and lively day.

Talking Sport Ron Lane

Pirates women fly flag On Saturday the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club played host to the Toowoomba South Tigers in their first home game of the season. Despite it being a trial game and inclement weather, the supporters were witness to some entertaining football. Unfortunately, the U19s missed out on a game as the opposition was unable to form a team. In the women’s game it was one sided with the Pirates winning, 50-0. However, this came about with the Tigers arriving with just 10 players. Good to see the Pirates sporting gesture when they supplemented two Pirates in each half, thus enabling the visitors to have a game rather than sit in the stand. Coach Robert Burgin praised both teams for their effort. “There was a bit of miscommunication about the format so I applaud Toowoomba Souths and truly hope they have some success in their local league this season. We must not get carried away with the results, but can be pleased with their goal- line defence and support play. This was a big focus for us after letting in some soft tries against Wondai last week and on this, we will continue to focus.” Rookie Keara Woods, playing just her second full game of rugby league, starred with four tries and two goals as the Wenchers collected 13 tries. So, it is well done to the Bendigo Community Bank Ladies.” In Division 2 ( Reserve Grade) Coach Danny Riddle said following a 20-20 draw, ‘’Our game was a good first hit out. The boys have a bit of improvement in them but we are looking strong and ready for Round 1.” The importance of the Reserves and the U19s cannot be emphasised enough as they also have the important role of being the support groups to Div. 1. In Division 1 club Head Coach Mick Duff was also pleased with the trial. “We had a good win Saturday, 38-10. Again, we played some great patches of footy, but we still have some areas of our game to work on. This is to be expected with lots of new combinations to settle in. We have two weeks before the season starts. There are plenty of players pushing for starting positions in Div.1.” Despite being an early trial, it was a good open game with plenty of fast ball movement and support running. The pace of the game was a good indication that a large percentage of both teams are approaching the season with fitness as a priority. If these fast open patches of football are an indication of the season ahead, the Pirate supporters are in for some great games. For one Pirates A grade player, Saturdays will definitely be a game to remember. His name is Khris Williams and Saturday’s game was his 20th year since he first played Pirates A grade, as an 18 year old. Affectionately known as Buddha, he will celebrate his achievement by having his first year as the Pirates U14 coach. Good luck Buddha. Athletics Mick Hooper, head coach of Noosa Athletics, has spent four days at the Queensland Athletics Championships, 13yrs to Opens, at Brisbane’s QE2 Stadium, Thursday 9 March to Sunday 12. Once again it was a successful occasion. ‘’We had 21 athletes representing Noosa, against Queensland’s best, and again our small club came away with some outstanding results.” There were five athletes crowned Queensland Champions Dianne Ladewig, U18 400m Hurdles, Eli Melinz U14 300m Walk, Zane Branco Open Long Jump, Marlon Andrews U14 400m, Taya Clayton U14, 80m Hurdles. Also, Marlon picked up silver in the 100m and bronze in the 200m sprints: while Taya pickle picked up silver in the triple jump, bronze in the long jump and bronze in the 100m sprint. Other medallists were Jaxon Retchless sil40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 March, 2023

It was the first game of the season for the Tigers.

Pirates played Toowoomba South Tigers last Saturday. ver in the U18 100m and bronze in the 200m sprints and Livio Kurz bronze in the open long jump. We also had many athletes achieve top 10 placings and personal best performances with national championship qualifiers. Yet again the team had great support from wonderful parents and friends in some trying conditions over four days. For the next major carnival the club will travel to Townsville for the Queensland Little Athletics State Titles, U19 to U17. This will be contested from the 24-26 March, then its back to Brisbane for the big one - early April- Australian 2023 Athletics Championships.

Close finish for Marlon Andrews in the 100m Final.

Water safety I was recently handed three small pamphlets entitled, Surf Safe Noosa-All Year Round. Sponsored by Noosa biosphere, and the now international renown, Noosa World Surfing Reserve, its purpose was to give hints regarding the habits of those cranky, nasty, overgrown fish, that on occasion, have a tendency to bite people. Well drawn up and illustrated, it definitely gave some good advice. Sharks share our Noosa waters. Understand your local conditions. Schools of bait fish can attract sharks. After

heavy rain - avoid the river mouth The illustrations have been presented in a somewhat lighter fashion, thus avoiding the usual horrific statements made by an actual incident. These are the type of document that mum and dad can use when talking to their young. So too, Kirra Molnar, president of World Surfing Reserve, well presented by all involved. Surfing On this Saturday Sunshine Beach SLSC, celebrates 40 years of service to our community. Best wishes and happy birthday to all involved.

My coach from Austria is here so we were training for two and a half weeks together and he really wanted to see me race and this was a great opportunity and it’s great to race in front of the community, in front of my hometown nearly, I can’t complain, it’s not something I want to miss out on because it’s so close to home and I love to support the area,” she said. Wilms’ victory in Mooloolaba kicks off a busy period of training and racing both at home and abroad. “I’ve got two more weeks of training and then we go to IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong, then another block of four weeks and then we go to Europe for six weeks to race and then for the second half of the season we’ll be back here in Australia which I’m really looking forward to,” she said.

Nicholas Free and Lotte Wilms have claimed victory in the men’s and women’s open races at the Mooloolaba Triathlon, with both athletes impressing on their way to the top step of the podium. Thousands of athletes took part in Sunday’s event, racing across a 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run, with 2023 the 31st edition of the Mooloolaba Triathlon. Free crossed the line on the Mooloolaba beachfront in 1:46:45, just over 30 seconds clear of Caleb Noble, with Kurt McDonald third. “It was good, the swim was really fast, Josh Amberger always makes it a fast swim, that’s his race plan to get out quick and get rid of as many people as possible,” said Free. “On the bike I just didn’t have any legs today, I was really just hanging on and then on the run I got gapped into T2 and had to chase my way through and caught them maybe 5km into the race and then made the decision to just head out as hard as I could and I made it to the line. “I really didn’t want to have a sprint finish and have to run all the way to the line so I made the decision to go early and kind of cruise up the hill on the last lap so I didn’t really have to gas myself. I had a little bit of a lead, I had everyone telling me how far Caleb was behind me and I made it to the line,” he said. Athletes were greeted by clear skies on Sunday, but the high humidity that came with it made for a tough day on course. “It was so humid, Brisbane at the moment is just brutal and this is just another one of those brutal days where you’re grabbing waters at every aid station and it just doesn’t seem to make any difference, you’re still hot, it was hard,” said Free. Free has had a mixed start to 2023, unfortunately not finishing IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania following a mechanical issue on the bike leg, but then going on to claim victory at the Australian Long Course Championship in New South Wales a fortnight ago. “It’s been good so far, I’ve had a couple of good races, disappointing at IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania that I couldn’t really go out and show what I had but I get another opportunity in Geelong in two weeks’ time now and it’s another strong start list and I’m really looking forward to heading down there,” he said. Dutch-born, Coolum-based athlete Wilms led from start to finish in the women’s race, taking the win in 2:03:06, almost a minute clear of a fast-finishing Madi Roberts, with Richelle Hill a further three minutes behind in third. “It was tough, I’m full in training at the moment. I did a full swim, bike and run yesterday so I could definitely feel it in my legs from the first step into the water, so I was just pushing, pushing, pushing and that was the plan and it’s great to win,” said Wilms. “The plan was really to push on the bike

Families celebrate the final game of the cricket season at Read Park.

Junior players are presented with trophies for the cricket season.

Thunder out of the finals By Randall Woodley In a very disappointing end to the season for the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club, none of their three senior teams involved in last weekend’s semi-finals will be playing in the competition’s grand finals. The results came about due to a mixture of below par performances from some players, the toss of the coin and the unfavorable weather conditions around the district. FIRST GRADE The team had finished third on the ladder and were required to play the second placed team, Maroochydore Swans at their home ground in their semi-final. The First Graders were very confident after defeating the Swans the previous weekend although in this semi-final Thunder had to win the match to progress whereas all the Swans needed to do was draw the game. The main concern for Thunder was the unstable weather and a couple of key players being unavailable. So, on winning the toss Maroochydore were sent into bat first with the plan to bowl them out and then pass their score for a first innings win. Maroochydore started batting patiently and progressed to be 0 for 64 after 19 overs before some great bowling from Ben Laughlin and Scott Aufderheide inspired a mini collapse with Swan wickets falling at 64, 70, 73 and 75. Then as the match progressed the Thunder fielders put down three chances which did not help the plan. However, the Thunder bowlers persisted, and Maroochydore progressed to be 6 for 124 before they shut up shop, 55 runs coming from the last 34 overs. The day ended at 6-179 off 80 overs and with the new ball available from the first over on Sunday. Things started well for Thunder on Sunday morning dismissing the last four Swans batsmen for 12 runs to see them all out for 191. Laughlin had taken 5 wickets, Aufderheide 2 and Tom Stewart 1. Thunder then set out to pass their score but from the first few overs it all went astray. Wickets fell at 15, 18, 29, 45, 46, 56 and by the time the storm clouds gathered, and lightning threatened mid-afternoon, the Thunder team were in big trouble at 9 for 90. The only batsman to show any real fight was veteran Chris Wright who scored 34 off 70 balls. The Thunder First Grade team are a very experienced group of players but on this occasion they were beaten by a young team who showed unlimited enthusiasm and a desire to win. This team had scored more runs than any other team in the grade during the season but when it really counted they fell short of what was required. The First Graders, last year’s premiers will need to regroup over the winter break and work on using their experienced players to pass on their skills to some of the club’s younger players. 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 March, 2023

Thunder juniors mark the end of the cricket season. THIRD GRADE The team was playing their semi at Palmwoods but lost the toss and were asked to bat on a sticky sweating pitch. After losing an early wicket Harper Lee and Nigel Webster consolidated for a handy partnership before rain delayed play. An hour later the rain cleared but Palmwoods tried delaying tactics as they did not need to win the match. The umpires rejected their pleas and eventually the game continued. Webster scored another 50 before getting out to an unlucky dismissal. Harper Lee was asked to bat and bat which is what he did, contributing 32 runs off 160 balls on a difficult surface, playing anchor as batting partners came and went. At the end of Day 1, bad light stopped play with Thunder on 8 for 140. The plan for Day 2 was to continue batting and score 180. Day 2 saw the goal of reaching 180 cut short

with Thunder managing only one more run to their total. With the target for Palmwood’s batsmen on 142, Benny Shaw took two early wickets. Then Palmwoods consolidated and they added valuable runs in their 3rd wicket partnership before some sharp fielding by Tiernan Crowley and keeper by Harper Lee saw an unlikely wicket fall in the form of a run out right before drinks. From there Thunder toiled without much success to eventually see Palmwoods pass the target losing only five wickets. Palmwoods definitely had the best of the conditions, with the Day 2 deck the polar opposite of Day 1. Thunder had batted on a particularly difficult surface with no value for runs through a wet outfield whilst the opposition batted on a far truer surface with dry, fast outfield. There is no doubt that the toss had a huge influence on the outcome of this match. It has been a very good season for the team, with their five-game winning streak allowing

them to take part in the finals. All the players are looking forward to the next season and with a little more experience under their belts they will give the premiership a nudge. SIXTH GRADE Playing Caboolture at their ground in their semi-final, the match scorebook should show “Thunder defeated by the rain.” Batting first in unfavourable conditions the Sixers were compiling a very competitive target but declared on 6 down for 148 to give themselves a chance of a win by bowling out the Caboolture team. Top scorers were Wayne Moore (49), R Lewis (21), Brendan Chaplin (19) with Justin Talbot not out on 13. As rain threatened the Thunder team took a wicket early but that is where the match and the season ended for the Thunder boys, with the weather deciding the outcome of the match. It was a disappointing end to a very good season for the team.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Many friends at surf fest One of the abiding pleasures of surf festival time in Noosa is catching up with old friends and making new ones. Last week I did a bit of both. First up my old pal Takuji Masuda messaged me a couple of days beforehand to tell me that he and 13-year-old son Ryjii were jumping on a plane from Los Angeles so that Ryjii could spend a week training at the Surfing Australia High Performance Centre on the Tweed Coast with super-coach Andy King. But first they were going to sneak up to Noosa and see what all the fuss was about. It’s often funny to gauge reactions of firsttime visitors but Tak and Ryjii took the cake. Stoked doesn’t even begin to tell you how happy they were, and since they live just up the hill overlooking the immaculate waves of Malibu’s Surfrider Beach, that’s saying something. “It’s like you got the whole world visiting,” Ryjii said excitedly as he settled himself into a booth at Cafe Le Monde. “Since we got here we’ve heard German, French, Dutch, Portuguese and Japanese.” I asked him how he could tell the difference between all those European languages. “He understands all of them, plus a couple more,” said Tak, flicking his skateboard into his spare hand, having ridden up from Hotel Laguna to join us. “He has Belgian citizenship because his mother was born in Antwerp, and he was born in Zurich where my father lives, so he has a Swiss birth certificate. For Japanese, we’re very European.” I first met Tak nearly 30 years ago at the Biarritz Surf Festival in France where he was a leading longboard competitor (later to win a Japanese national title) and just starting out as a publisher in California. Along with collaborators Craig Stecyk and Art Brewer, he occasionally published a tri-lingual and extremely avant garde arthouse surf-skate-music magazine called Super X Media. But he was also into film, and developing an obsession with the surfer/shaper/hedonist Bunker Spreckels, the stepson of movie star Clark Gable and heir to the Spreckels sugar fortune. Tak did a lot of other stuff in his life, like collecting university degrees and for a time running his family’s international real estate development empire, but the Bunker movie idea lurked in the shadows for decades.

Takuji and Ryjii Masuda in Noosa. Because I did the last interview with Bunker in Hawaii at the end of 1976 a couple of weeks before he died of a drug overdose at 27, Tak flew me back there to film segments about a decade ago, and in 2017 we both screened our surfing lifestyle documentaries at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. But back to Noosa, where Tak and Ryjii can’t quite believe that so many volunteers are out on the beach with trash bags, cleaning it up. “It’s not dirty!” says Ryjii. Tak: “I think it’s amazing that they care enough to clean it anyway. That wouldn’t have happened 20 years ago.” Father and son are also amazed at how nice we are! Ryjii:“One big difference between Noosa and Malibu is there are much better surfers here, people that can ride a wave and get out of the way. In Malibu it’s like speed bumps.” Tak: “This is generalising, but I think there’s better etiquette in the surf here, and people seem to care more about each other. In LA we’ve lost that a little bit. There’s so much bad stuff going on, like homelessness, that you have to put the blinders on. Once you start caring, there’s so much to care about you can’t get on with your daily life. So instead you become

Poster for Tak’s Bunker 77 movie. a complacent nihilist, and that carries into the surf. Ryjii: “Everyone I’ve seen in the surf seems to be having fun. They don’t seem so weighed down by city life. I like that.” A couple of nights after the Masudas had departed, I had the pleasure of meeting Hunter Williams, who stood up in the audience at a book launch and thanked the authors for creating such a lovely testament to the spirit of surfing. Hunter said he hoped it would inspire everyone to look after their beach. Not bad for a nine-year-old! But Hunter’s self-assurance and perfect manners, not to mention his fast-developing skills on a longboard, have already made him a surfing celebrity, whose travel journal features in the current issue of Pacific Longboarder. He made himself right at home on the footpath in front of Annie’s Books, chatting to the old surf dogs, even sharing board design ideas from his work book. From Phillip Island, Victoria, the Williams family are on an extended caravan road trip along the east coast, taking in the surf festival, but mum Briony says they’re pretty hooked on Noosa and are hoping to become residents soon.

Talk and Ryjii check out the new surf etiquette sign at First Point.

Apartment eight in On The Terrace ,21 Elizabeth St, was listed by McLure Property for sale by negotiation. It was the perfect downsizer with lift access and close to the Noosa River. Locals and neighbours bought it for the position and and lift access. Secure, private and peaceful, yet right in the heart of everything, the apartment offered river views. The living is all on one level, with high ceilings and direct lift access from the garage to the apartment. A covered entertaining area overlooks the resort-style pool, while to of the three bedrooms offer private access to balconies. There is a gourmet kitchen with European appliances, C-bus technology, ducted air-conditioning, and double side-byside secured parking. TOP-FLIGHT APARTMENT Rick Daniel and Pat Johnston of Coastal Noosa are also marketing a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car apartment at Noosa Heads that is right on the pathway down to Hastings St. One of 13 apartments in the complex, 10/30 Edgar Bennett Ave is a multi-level penthouse with an exclusive-use rooftop terrace that has its own bar/kitchen. Conveniently located right next to a rainforest pathway that to Hastings St, Main Beach and the national park walks, it offers filtered views of the river and ocean. “This is one of the better positions on the hill in regard to holiday rental and proximity to beach as well as Noosa Junction,’’ Rick said. Situated on the top level at the northern end of the complex, spacious, air-conditioned, open-plan living and dining areas encompass a large gourmet kitchen. A wrap-around balcony extends the living spaces on this level. ORIGINAL SUNSHINE BEACH HOUSE Anne Powell at Laguna Real Estate has an interesting new listing at 18 Hill Street, Sunshine Beach.

This property represents an outstanding opportunity for an astute buyer, Anne said. On a flat block, the double-storey home has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the perfect northern aspect. Wide balconies and outdoor living areas embrace the winter sun and the summer shade. A very large garage to the rear of the property is accessed easily along the side of the home, providing ample storage for a caravan, boat, jetski, or additional cars. Due to the zoning, the large, wellmaintained home would be ideal for a savvy investor to rent out and earn an income while waiting for plans and building approval. This is an elevated Sunshine Beach address just a short, shady walk to the sand, the shops, and the surf club. It would suit a renovation to create a fabulous holiday home, or to keep it just as it is as a perfect lock-and-leave.

BEACHFRONT AND ENDLESS SEASCAPES WHEN the stars align into five, and it’s seconds to toes-in-the dazzling white sand, be in awe of a three-level contemporary masterpiece, perched sublimely in the front row with salty breezes and unrestricted 180 degree-plus Coral Sea views, on the largest highest site of Marcus Beach … and sigh. Surrounded by the immense natural assets of Noosa National Park and five kilometres of dazzling white sand between Sunrise and Peregian, is Marcus Beach, regarded as an exclusive hidden utopia by the locals, rarely available and desired by many, especially those looking for a stupendous jewel with lush Italian style.

Commensurate with the contemporary design and space is the galley-style kitchen with buff stone-topped white cabinetry, including a long island/breakfast bar, pantry with pull-out drawers and high-end appliances to suit a wannabe master chef.

Also on this level is the king-size master bedroom wing, with terrace access, an extra roomy walk-in robe, as well as an ensuite with buff-topped white cabinetry and basin.

RED HOT INVESTMENT MINUTES TO BEACH LOOKING for a lucrative investment opportunity in a world-class resort surrounded by the tropical wilderness of Noosa National Park, that is close to Noosa Main Beach, and has year-round high occupancy rates? Take the plunge and live that dream at Peppers Noosa Resort. The ultra-chic two-bedroom apartment embraces its position, with the perfect northerly aspect, seemingly perched amongst the rainforest trees where koalas call home, the chorus of native birdlife is a sheer delight. Open the front door, breathe in the fresh salty breeze, automatically unwind. Time to relax and appreciate the absolute serenity in the generous open-plan living area which opens out to those generous balconies. Decide which is the perfect one for morning coffee. The neutral palette including floor tiles, carpet, contemporary furnishings, and art works reflect the verdant outdoors as well as the beach. The master bedroom has a walk-in robe and an ensuite which includes a bathtub; the second bedroom also has an ensuite; adjacent is a fully equipped laundry and a powder room. Prop at the breakfast bar/island bench and watch a lover of good food cooking in the galley-style, bright white kitchen with

stone bench tops and every accoutrement necessary to entertain friends. That is, of course, when they are not basking in the sub-tropical sun on Noosa Main Beach, warming up after a swim in the safe turquoise waters, walking through the Noosa National Park, or lunching on the beachfront. There is also much to do around the five-star resort, which is within cooee of Hastings Street or just a buggy ride away. Set unobtrusively into the hillside, the

internationally acclaimed Peppers Noosa Resort, cleverly designed by the renowned architect John Mainwaring, defines Noosa naturally. With solar energy and rainwater irrigation, it is the absolute word in ecoconscious sustainability. Adding to the overall appeal is the immensely popular restaurant View. The lap pool is heated, and massages are a must at the multi award-winning Stephanie’s Day Spa. “When it comes to indulgent adventures

and good times for all the family, the nation’s favourite holiday destination is unquestionably Noosa,” Tom Offermann agent Chris Miller said. “Investment properties in Peppers Noosa Resort are much coveted. Bookings are year-round, mostly back-to-back and continually exceed expectations, which is not surprising given it’s position, amenity and thanks to a solid schedule of corporate functions utilising the world-class conference facilities.” ●

A HIDDEN GEM AND A RUNNING CREEK CAN you imagine? A gorgeous creek running behind your home where you can throw in your tinnie and glide up to Lake Doonella waterways and the Noosa Marina for a spot of lunch – any style from fish’n chips to gourmet Italian fine dining - or relax with a vino and catch the regular “music maestros” playing at the bar, all within 15 minutes! (Rest assured, the creek is flood free). Or laze with a book on the spacious rear deck of this impeccably neat home overlooking a shimmering saltwater pool, beautiful gardens and green parkland where kookaburras and other birds sing their songs of happiness. This fine home sits gracefully on a large 813m2 allotment with lovely views to Tewantin township and footsteps access to walking and bike trails. The home is fully fenced, absolutely ideal for children and pets. The location is neighbourhood friendly and peaceful with local traffic only and harks back to a time when children could roam safely, free to explore. The modern kitchen was renovated around five years ago to include a very workable space pairing fresh white decor with wide benches, numerous storage drawers, cupboards and appliance areas.

The cook will love the calming aspect of nature’s artistry framed by picture windows whilst preparing meals and snacks. Gleaming hardwood floors in the living, dining and TV room echo the outdoors and bring a classic elegance, while carpets provide softness underfoot in the bedrooms and lounge room. The generous master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe opens to the deck and captures the first rays of the

soft morning sun. Two additional double bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom and separate toilet. The laundry sits adjacent to the garage with its own internal entrance. Solar assisted power will help to reduce your energy bills. Airconditioning and ceiling fans provide temperature control all year round. But the features don’t stop there! The home is elevated at the rear and includes

a workshop/studio underdeck. Work from home in peace and quiet, paint, practise yoga, listen to music away from all distractions. The allure of this delightful home can’t be overstated. A short drive to shops and cafes. Five minutes to the Noosa Golf Club. Public schools and transport closeby. We call it a “locals’ secret”. Inspect for yourself and you’ll see why. ●
