Gentle is Queen of Tri Ashleigh Gentle has claimed a record 10th title at the 40th anniversary edition of the Garmin Noosa Triathlon, while Kiwi Hayden Wilde won his first in a new course best time. Gentle lived up to her billing as the Queen of the Noosa Triathlon as she ran her way to victory, a 10th title and her ninth on the bounce, in a time of 1:55:13. It was an all-Australian women’s podium, with Sophie Malowiecki second and 21-year-old Richelle Hill third. “Each year has been really enjoyable, and I’ve had fun each year but 10 victories, what else can I ask for?” said Gentle. “It’s an incredible feat and I’m actually really proud that each year, no matter what happens, I kind of find a way to bring the best out of myself at Noosa. I think from here on in I’ll just enjoy it even more. “Just before I ran over the Garth Prowd bridge it was a bit of a heck, yes moment, that kind of summarises the day,” she said.

Kin Kin’s revival By Margie Maccoll “When’s the pub going to open,“ has been the most commonly asked question in Kin Kin since it shut for renovation more than 18 months ago. While putting the finishing touches on the meticulously restored hotel, co-owner David Ezrine last Friday announced to Noosa Today it would have a soft opening mid-November as he revealed some of his vision to rejuvenate the rural township of Kin Kin. David Ezrine and business partner Mat-

thew Flynn, through their company Vida, have extensive experience creating destinations, with an award-winning reputation for tentedcamp, eco-lodge, nature-based tourism in places overseas including the Caribbean, Central America and the Pacific, he said. From their home in Britain David and his English-born wife, Ellie, moved to Noosa during Covid and found themselves in Kin Kin, a town where Matthew’s mother had grown up as a child. “We emigrated my family down here on the

’why not’ plan - why would you not live in Australia,“ David said. “We came down here to visit, fell in love with Australia, fell in love with Noosa “Our visas came in and Matthew said, this pub’s up for sale in Kin Kin, let’s look at it.“ Within a week, a deal was negotiated but after the region was hit by floods they shut the pub doors with the intention of restoring the circa 1915 building back to its former glory. Using local tradies, locally-sourced materials and having researched its history, the main

bar has been beautifully restored, the verandah rebuilt with native timber and 10 bedrooms upstairs and bathrooms at the end of the hall completely renovated. Even the paint palette has been matched to a previously used colour. The pub will have a classic heritage bar at the front and a chop house behind, operated by British chef Oscar Holgado mirroring his operation at Coombeshead Farm in Cornwall, where he played a pivotal role in transforming it into a sustainable agricultural paradise.

Noosa Triathlon event organisers are “deeply saddened“ by the tragic death of a Victorian competitor who was pulled from the water at Noosa Main Beach on Sunday morning. “The athlete received immediate aid by fellow athletes towards the end of the swim before being extracted from the water for continued medical assistance by water safety and medical personnel,“ a Noosa Triathlon spokesperson said. A Surf Life Saving Queensland spokesperson said the 53-year-old male was completing the swim leg of the Noosa Triathlon when he became unresponsive in the water. “Members from Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club who were performing water safety for the event attended to the male, initially removing him from the water on a rescue board before an inflatable rescue boat arrived.

“The SLSQ members began CPR and alerted Queensland Ambulance Service and event organisers who attended the situation. A QAS spokesman said paramedics were called to Hastings Street just before 8am. The man was unable to be resuscitated and died at the scene, he said. “Our condolences go out to the athlete’s family and friends, whom we will continue to offer our support, a Noosa Triathlon spokesperson said. “We thank the athletes who stopped to provide aid, as well as the first responders and medical personnel who worked quickly to provide the athlete with medical support.“ Queensland Police are preparing a report for the coroner.

Gentle Queen of the Tri

Hayden Wilde wins the Noosa Tri in his debut run. on the leader Jamie Riddle, but it didn’t take him long to bridge the gap to the front group on the bike and by the 13-kilometre mark he had taken the lead. Wilde had pulled away from Hauser over the second half of the 40km bike to enter T2 with a 33 second lead but after losing his way through transition, he and Hauser would hit the run course side by side. “I ran pretty hard over the first 5k to get a bit of a gap and then I was not letting down over the last 2k, I looked back and Matt was still there – we race each other all season. I know how dangerous he is over the last 2k so I didn’t know I had it in the bag until about 200 metres to go,” he said. “If the schedule permits, if it’s around this

time next year, it’s before the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Taup? so I think it would actually be a really good teaser before that race so hopefully I’ll be back here next year to give it another crack and if I don’t mess up transition, next year I can go a little bit faster,” Wilde said. 2023 Garmin Noosa Triathlon – Results Elite Men Hayden Wilde (NZL) – 1:41:56 Matt Hauser (AUS) – 1:42:09 Henri Schoeman (RSA) – 1:44:20 Jake Birtwhistle (AUS) – 1:45:23 Kurt McDonald (AUS) – 1:47:17 Jamie Riddle (RSA) – 1:48:33 Jack Sosinski (AUS) – 1:49:02

From page 1 Gentle was 12th out of the water, 1:45 down on the fastest swimmer Mikayla Messer. It didn’t take her long to join the leaders on the bike, however, with a group of seven women forming who would go on to ride together for the rest of the bike leg and enter T2 still together as a group. The run is where Gentle really comes into a league of her own, and that was the case once again in Noosa as she hit the front early and kept her foot down for the whole 10 kilometres. By the halfway point she’d opened up a 42 second lead on Hill and would eventually finish nearly two minutes ahead of runner-up Malowiecki. The emotion of her achievement struck Gentle as she entered the finish chute and took the Noosa Triathlon tape for the 10th time. “I actually felt really good today, it was a fast day. I did feel quite calm before and into the race, but there’s definitely been a huge build up to this race, a lot of media interviews and sponsor commitments before the race and obviously the 40th anniversary happened to coincide with going for my 10th win, it kind of added another layer of emotional, not stress, but fatigue during the week so to be able to actually get a good race under my belt and that victory, it was just relief,” she said. Hayden Wilde, a bronze medallist from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, arrived on the Sunshine Coast as the pre-race favourite for his first attempt at the iconic Noosa Triathlon. The Kiwi didn’t disappoint, putting on a show for the thousands of spectators who lined the streets to become the first international male athlete to win the Noosa Triathlon since Joe Malloy (USA) in 2015. “I’m stoked, the day was awesome, the atmosphere was epic,” said Wilde. “It didn’t disappoint, everyone was talking about the Noosa Tri and how awesome it is and finally here myself and really experienced the feelings. The course is amazing, the roads were just pristine out there and just made us ride so fast.” Wilde set a new overall course best time of 1:41:56, lowering the previous best time set last year by over a minute. Australian Matt Hauser finished second, also in a time that was quicker than the previous course best, with South African Henri Schoeman in third. “The experience, even though we’re all suffering out there, even the people racing were giving me a good cheer, the vibe out there was awesome and to get a course record was truly epic. I couldn’t have done it without the boys out there today, they really pushed me, and this is what I needed to do,” said Wilde. “It’s always nice to beat the Aussies. We lost a couple of sports against them over the past couple of months so yeah it was nice to bring it home, especially in Australia. We have that rivalry but we love each other at the end of the day and it’s just nice the camaraderie of everyone coming together here and I was really stoked,” he said. Wilde had work to do after the swim, exiting the water in ninth place and 42 seconds down

Taking off for the swim leg of the Tri.

Getting ready for action.

So many reasons to Tri By Margie Maccoll Gavin Morisset, 80, returned to Noosa last Sunday for his second triathlon after completing his first triathlon in Noosa four years ago. Gavin said a visit to Noosa to see friends who were competing at the time encouraged him to give it a go after he retired at the age of 76. One of three octogenarians in the event he thought his chances of a podium finish were “fairly good“. This year Gavin convinced his daughter Janene and husband Reid, both 50, to join him, the Sydney-siders having trained together for the event. Competing as Team Gav, Janene and Reid also entered the Tri as members of Team Smiddy, the biggest charity group at the Noosa Tri. “It’s a good opportunity to get involved,“ said Janene who was among about 350 people raising money for cancer research at the Mater as part of the Smiling for Smiddy charity. More than 7500 people lined up for the Garmin Noosa Triathlon in its 40th anniversary year to complete a 1.5km swim at Main Beach, 40km bike ride and 10km run, and everyone had a reason to be there. Kerry Dowling, 77, has lost count of the number of triathlons he’s completed since he entered an Ironman event in Hawaii in 1983. The Woollongong resident trains every day with a 1500m swim and bike ride. “It keeps you young,“ he said. Cameron Young and Pete Murray travelled from Melbourne for the Noosa Tri and to raise money to cure brain cancer after both had lost loved ones to the disease.

Bike pick up

Elle Goodall and Loretta Burke were celebrating their first anniversary together, having met at the Noosa Tri last year. Since then the Sydney couple have joined in races “all over the place“. “It’s great for keeping fit and healthy,“ Loretta said. “The best thing is to surround yourself by like-minded people. We’ve lost a lot of weight. We’ve lost 150kg between us. In the last twothree years we’ve both turned our lives around.“ Bondi neighbours Paul and Anna Brennan and Jeremy Garling returned for their sixth or seventh Tri. Anna said it started with a sprint Tri at her work that was “good fun“, and “one thing led to another“. “We all train together. It’s enjoyable,“ she said. Thousands congregated on the beach and lined the race track to cheer on their family and friends. People filled Hastings Street and its cafes and restaurants while a steady stream of competitors and supporters arrived for their start times beginning from 6.15am by shuttle bus or on foot. Among the supporters were Katie Becker and daughter Pearl. While husband and dad, Adam, took part in the triathlon the pair visited official race starter, Olympian and Noosa local Dawn Fraser, bringing back a memorable occasion for her. Pearl’s grandmother Jan Becker (nee Turner) had been a member of the swim team with Dawn during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Rejuvenation of Kin Kin

Ellie and David Ezrine at a Noosa long lunch in 2022. “What I’m more interested in finding is people like Kirsty and Richard I can invest in,“ David said. “My vision of what we want to do with the surrounding acreage I’ve purchased is establish really good market farms - work with local producers in a collaborative way. “I see this as a destination. I see myself as the catalyst to establish it. “I don’t think we can do this by ourselves. We have to do this working with other stakeholders in the area, working in a way that collaborates with people who have been farming here for generations and with newcomers.“ Oscar said the farming side of the operation was a long term project. “By the time we’ve prepared the ground, we’re looking at least a year out,“ he said. “We have to map out the land, look at animal rotations, look at the soil. “It’s my intention to meet local people, reach out to local suppliers, what’s important is what’s here.“ David said his vision for Kin Kin’s entire commercial street was to build a storefront that fitted within the existing entitlement, not trying to go outside the Noosa Plan. “We want to fit within it and be able to draw people here,“ he said. “By doing that we can curate the right kind of offering, bring not only the tourist side of that but the people who live in the region, the people who’ve moved out of Noosa, who’ve seen that change, who want to move to the

hinterland and they’re looking for opportunities for hospitality, opportunities to purchase things. “Beyond the tourist side, there’s an incredible need to create a local housing side. “If we can’t see local rural housing available to people who want to live and work in Kin Kin and be here, that’s going to become a challenge. “We want to see in the future a housing opportunity for people on a pay scale they can afford to buy a house, live and work in the community, contribute to what we’re trying to achieve. “It’s part of the plan and a challenging one to fit within the Noosa Plan. “We need to explore that in the future, once we get established. “That’s a later phase, but its definitely part of it. if we have a robust community that can’t work here because they live two hours away, that’s not going to work so well. “I believe what Noosa wants to be is a blend of retirement and tourism and all the things that make Noosa great, “You also have to consider that people want to live and work in a normal lifestyle and give them the balanced opportunity to be here. “Otherwise you’re going to create an ivory tower that will fall over. “If you don’t have people living and working here you don’t the roots, the diversity you need to create innovation, to create great products,” he said.

“No one’s going to give up their day job overnight. They need a bit of a crutch, a bit of a balance. People who maybe work online and want to do other things and want to have garden or workshop. “One of our things is workshops - invite people in and experience this, experience the reason why we do it this way and discover the differences.“ Until now David’s plans for Kin Kin have been under wraps and a topic of speculation within the community, but he wanted his actions to speak louder than words. “I’m not one to get up on a stump and evangelise about what we’re going to do,“ he said. “I’d rather be in a position to put it in place and let them see what we’re doing. “I think you’re in a vulnerable place, especially something as long term as what we’re going to do, if you preach about it before you do it - you’re going to suffer slings and arrows of criticism without any way to defend yourself. “It’s hard to take an idea like this and in six months open it. “We’re starting to now. By opening the pub, by having the Black Ant, people can judge for themselves and see what we’re doing. “The vast majority of the community are in support what we’re doing. They’ve been able to see we’ve hired local trades, been involved in local trade chains. “There are a few who resist change, that’s inevitable and they’ll be very vocal. But we don’t pay much attention to that.

From page 1 Under his stewardship, Coombeshead Farm became a model of regenerative farming, known for its closed-loop systems, holistic practices, and commitment to biodiversity. “In my last place working on a farm in Cornwall raising pigs, chickens, growing our own vegetables, our ethos was leave it better than it was,“ he said. “We want to get away from the Aussie pub grub of parmy and chips. “We’re taking it down the line of British and European farm house cookery, traditional French-based cookery, something not on the Sunshine Coast. “Everything is about sustainability, working in a closed loop environment where you have to help others in your community. “We hope the success felt here will help local producers as well.“ Having purchased most of the properties on Kin Kin’s Main Street including the Black Ant Cafe across the road, several houses and an acreage property across the road from the pub, David said his intention for Kin Kin was to rejuvenate the small, rural township into a destination where traditional farming practices were celebrated and rejuvenated. “It’s more of a retirement project, less of a commercial project. It’s built around a sense of place to delve into issues I see around the food chain, issues I see around craft. I see lot of these things marginalised or dying away. I’m going to put my money where my mouth is,“ David said. “Kin Kin’s origins were based on forestry, farming. “The reality is small farming has pretty much dried up. What I see around this part of Australia is basically glorified weed management. “The food production, the way it works has changed the culture, also changed the products we can buy and how we go about doing it.“ “I’m not interested in importing storebought products from overseas. I’m interested in what we can grow and produce here, bringing back artisanal skills like the smokehouse, mill house, brining - skills that are decreasing.“ David said he wanted to create a destination which celebrates and rejuvenates traditional farming practices and add value to it by bringing in artisans such as Richard Mundt and Kirsty who have taken charge of the Black Ant cafe. They come from Agnes Restaurant in Brisbane which was this year named Gourmet Travellers Restaurant of the Year. Richard and Kirsty have already made changes to the cafe, introducing in-house baked breads, baked goods, cakes, deli items including sandwiches and salads, a changed interior and a new pizza oven for casual evening dining, and they have more changes in the pipeline, including the name which is under debate. “It’s far away from what it’s going to look like in three-four months’ time,“ Richard said. “It’s going to look more beautiful, be more efficient. “It’ll be good - keep an eye on this space.“

“We have done something similar to this in other countries. “I’m not trying to turn this in to a theme park. “This is a small hamlet that we want to keep that way. We’re not looking to bring in numbers. Less is more. “It’s about authenticity. It’s about being

genuine. It’s not about disturbing the equilibrium. “Many of the people living here already experience those values. I’m giving them a platform to engage with it. “We have an opportunity to, in an appropriate scale, start doing something in the right direction.

“If we dwell on criticisms, if we dwell on complaints you’re never going to get there. You have to make a decision in life whether you’re going to get on and do what you know is the right thing, or stutter and be swayed by people who don’t do anything but complain - that’s my view.“ Oscar said they were looking forward to

people from Noosa coming up and enjoying something different. “What we want to create is an environment where everyone can walk through door and be welcome and want to stay for a couple of hours - have some nice food, nice wine, beer and non-alcoholic options and be friendly as well,“ he said.

Local link in war mystery On 20 August 1940, as war raged across Europe, the body of an unknown man was found by a nine-year-old boy scavenging the coastline near his Ayrshire home in south west Scotland. Two days later, the unidentified individual was buried in an unmarked grave in Girvan’s Doune Cemetery. Earlier this year, 83 years later, detailed research by members of the Girvan and District Great War Project (GDGWP) has revealed his name - Francesco D’Inverno - and parts of his life story have been put together. The attempts by GDGWP to find living relatives of Francesco D’Inverno led them to extended family living in England and through them the story has reached Francesco’s step grandson, Paul Norton, the only member of the family to have emigrated to Australia, who now lives at Lake Macdonald. Born in Villa Latina in the Lazio region in 1901, Francesco D’Inverno (known by the family as Frank) moved to London in 1930 in search of a better life and found lodging with an Italian widow, Ginevra Tasselli (Paul’s grandmother) and her four children while working in a hotel in Croydon, called the Selsdon Park. Despite the age gap – Ginevra was 50 and Francesco was 37 – they married in April, 1939, at St Peter’s Italian Church in Clerkenwell Road, London. It was just months before the outbreak of war when all refugees were classified as ‘enemy aliens’. When Italy entered the war a year later he was arrested and herded along with other internees, mainly Italian, onto the converted liner, Arandora Star headed for prison camps in Canada. Off the Irish Coast the Arandora Star was torpedoed by a U-boat on 2 July 1940. More than 800 lives were lost when the ship sank, only 22 bodies were ever identified from the disaster. A few weeks later his body was found near Lendalfoot - thought to be the only one to have reached the Scottish mainland. It was buried in a plain black coffin in the presence of the local parish priest. It would be about 80 years later that efforts began, almost by accident, to identify who was in the grave. Historian Michael Donnelly of the Italian Garden Improvement Group (IGIG), who runs the Arandora Star Memorial Garden at Glasgow’s St Andrews Cathedral and is dedicated to the enhancement of a Glasgow memorial to Scottish Italians who lost their lives in the wartime tragedy, was working on a project in 2020 with the local council in Barga in Tuscany. They were trying to put together pictures and biographies of the men from the area who died. That led to efforts to do something similar for all the Scottish Italians involved. One of the names on Mr Donnelly’s list was Francesco D’Inverno but he got a surprise when he started his research. “The thing that came up first was his death record, which is extraordinary,“ Mr Donnelly told Scottish news sources earlier this year. “Given that very few bodies were ever

The family’s only recovered photo of Ginevra Tasselli with Francesco D’Inverno found, I was really puzzled that he was a man with a death record in the Scottish system. “And on the death record, when I called it up, it actually revealed that he wasn’t Scottish. His last known address was London.“ It also showed that he had been found drowned at Lendalfoot. Further research with South Ayrshire Council then discovered details of the burial in an unmarked grave at the Doune cemetery. That was where Ritchie and Lorna Conaghan of the Girvan and District Great War Project (GDGWP) came in. They were able to pinpoint the location of the burial site - on common ground - and establish that nobody else was buried in the same plot which would allow a gravestone to be put in place. They describe themselves as a “tiny, tiny wheel“ in the research, but genealogist Raffaello Gonnella said the Conaghans were vital in putting together Francesco’s story. “We’ve actually had a whole history put together, the whole background put together,“ he said. Mr Gonnella knows the significance of the burial site discovery as his own maternal grandfather, Quinto Santini, also died in the

Arandora Star tragedy but they never found his body or received a death certificate. “To get somebody like Francesco found after 80 years, you just couldn’t make up,“ he said. “It’s just something like a documentary, it’s just phenomenal. That could have been my grandfather that was washed up.“ Mr Conaghan said the important thing for them had been to find the story behind the man who has become “one of our boys from the Second World War“ in the local cemetery. “It has got a great resonance because we are getting that very much unknown story of the Arandora Star out to the community locally here,“ he said. “This, I would imagine, will be the very last chance that we would have to commemorate somebody that’s buried from the Arandora Star - I think that is a massive, massive thing.“ For Francesco’s surviving family, the story has been a revelation. Ginevra, his widow, and all four of her children have died, but one daughter-in-law, Doris Tasselli, 93 is still living. Her granddaughter Charlotte Tasselli Arnold said she had no idea about the story, but her nan Doris knew all about Frank, as they called him.

“She said Ginevra always talked about Frank and said all she got was a letter from the War Office saying that he went down with the ship and was lost, presumed drowned at sea. We didn’t know there was a death certificate,“ Charlotte said. “Doris said it was lovely that they had found Frank and that if Ginevra knew he had been buried in a Catholic funeral, she would have been very touched. “And she would have been up to Scotland like a shot to visit his grave. It’s just a shame that she never got that news. The family were never notified that the body was found. She told the story for years that he went down with the boat.“ Mrs Arnold said Ginevra was widowed quite young with four small children and to make ends meet she would take in lodgers, one of whom was Frank. “He came to her from the church and later they had this relationship. There was a 20-year age gap and she would call him “the boy”. The family now hopes to make a journey north to see Francesco’s grave and pay their respects. “It’s just so important to have somewhere to go to,“ Charlotte said. “It is an amazing story and the fact that he has been there all these years and people have worked so hard to track us down. They have made so many people happy by solving this mystery.“ Paul Norton said the story only came to light because of the persistence of the folk in Scotland trying to find any relatives of Francesco (Frank) D’Inverno. “Bloody good on them,“ he said. “They trawled Facebook for a Tasselli and my second cousin’s name (Charlotte) came up so they contacted her to see if she was a relative of Ginevra Tasselli - she was my grandmother (Nonna). “When Frank’s body was found there were some papers so he was identified and they were able to track a marriage certificate to Ginevra. “Charlotte Tasselli registered her name as Charlotte Tasselli-Arnold to keep the Tasselli name when she married Roger Arnold. She also registered the same married name on Facebook. Had it not been for this, it would still be mystery.“ Paul said his sister-in-law Mary had some of Nonna’s old photos and found the only one with Frank which was forwarded to Scotland. The nine-year old boy who found the body was 92-years-old and not in good health when one of the relatives showed him the photo of Frank in September this year. “I know this man,“ he told them. “I have often wondered what happened to that man I found on the beach all those years ago”. The man passed away just a day later. Paul said the family was now trying to contact relatives in Italy and thought there may be some in the US. “The family will be putting up a nice headstone in memory,“ he said.

Azure sale sets new record There was standing room only at 26 McAnally Drive on Saturday as multiple bidders fought for the keys to one of most admired houses in Sunshine Beach. The mood at the auction for Azure, with its explosive 180-degree views sweeping the Coral Sea and awe-inspiring Chris Clout design, was magical. Marketed by Tom Offermann Real Estate, bidding started at $10 million and quickly reached $13.5 million before the gavel fell to a Melbourne family.

Tom Offermann and his daughter Rebekah were co-listers and naturally elated for the sellers, as the house shattered the previous record for a non-beachfront Sunshine Beach property by an impressive margin of more than $4 million. It was the culmination of a marketing campaign that generated national as well as global interest, and it was not just thousands or 10s of thousands who tuned in, it was hundreds of thousands. “The response was phenomenal,” Tom Of-

fermann said. “However, in the end most of the potential buyers were existing customers, who we have known for years. “You can imagine how many are on our database after 30 years of leading the market in Noosa.’’ Inspired by nature, specifically a prized sand dune, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence embraces the idyllic sub-tropical vernacular as well as living with unsurpassed views.

The views can be enjoyed even from day beds, which seemingly float on the dazzling viridescent, mosaic-tiled infinity pool. The home features Italian Carrara marble floors, a ’floating’ marble staircase, Italian blown glass tear-drop chandelier, bespoke cabinetry and eco fireplace. The penthouse-style main bedroom suite is on the top level and has a stylish walk-in robe/ dressing room, a free-standing stone bathtub and a shower with panoramic views. Floor to ceiling doors open to a private terrace.

As Noosa Sound turns 50, with waterfronts fetching $20m, PHIL JARRATT looks back on its rather shaky beginnings.

Shaky ground from start Judging by the fading black and white photos from Tewantin’s Griffith Studios, it wasn’t exactly a huge spectator event when Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen stood behind a monument set on a lonely and dusty paddock built over the mangroves of Hay’s Island and declared Noosa Sound officially open 50 years ago next month. In the heat of early summer, gentlemen removed jackets – some dared to sport combos of crotch-hugging Bermuda shorts and socks – while the ladies sheltered under sun umbrellas and the small crowd listened to interminable speeches from the likes of Cambridge Credit Corporation’s managing director and chief executive officer R.E.M. Mort Hutcheson as curtain raisers for Premier Joh’s quirky and animated keynote address. Despite the low-key optics, it was a momentous day for Noosa, the start of a new era of residential and tourism development, and an ominous one for Mort Hutcheson who, before the building of the bridge across Weyba Creek at the other end of the Sound was completed the following year, would have presided over the most sensational corporate collapse in Australia’s history to that point. Even as the developers high-fived and gladhanded each other on that December day half a century ago, it was becoming clear that Noosa Sound had been built on shaky ground in more ways than one. The Sound, the first major development that would change Noosa’s future, and ultimately pit the “progressives” – as the pro-development lobby liked to be known in those days – against the environmentalists in a long and ongoing battle over the integrity of the Noosa River system, had its origins back in July 1946, when newly-elected Noosa councillor Edgar Bennett proposed the building of a

Picture: GRIFFITH COLLECTION COURTESY HERITAGE NOOSA bridge from near Hastings Street to Hay’s Island, as a first step to stabilising and later developing the river’s mangrove swamp islands. Bennett also proposed a coastal headland road skirting the soon-to-be-declared national park. The headland road idea would rear its

ugly head many times in the future and fortunately never happen, but the reclaiming of Hay’s Island would stay on the radar over the next two decades before becoming a 1970s reality. In 1964 two separate proposals put to coun-

cil seeking approval for residential development on Hay’s Island were rejected, but in 1966 the department of Harbours and Marines, according to Cambridge Credit’s Hutcheson, “made very detailed studies and decided that Hay’s Island was suitable for development”.

First constructions on The Sound. Three years later a new council approved a proposal from a company called Noosa Island Estates, which was soon revealed to be a front for Australia’s biggest land developer and financier, Cambridge Credit. The proposed development was massive. It involved clearing the mangroves, dredging sand from the river to raise the land level by a metre, and the building of three bridges. It was expected to take five years to complete, with blocks of land then being offered for up to $10,000. The tender was officially accepted in September 1970 by the hard-drinking Minister for Lands, Vic Sullivan who tossed a few down before the official announcement at Brisbane’s Park Royal Motor Inn and declared loftily: “Most of the area… is an unsightly combination of mangrove swamps, mud flats and sandbanks… the main breeding grounds for mosquitos and sandflies”. The theme of mosquito infestation continued when Premier Joh and Cambridge’s Mort Hutcheson shared the podium on the dustbowl of the clear-felled island on 17 December 1973. Announcing a gift of 40 shrubs for each buyer of one of the 140 $12,000 blocks on offer, Hutcheson said: “I like to compromise between man and nature, and although nature comes first, man requires to enjoy it… so I

don’t apologise for taking it away from those mosquitoes and sandflies.” Later in his address, Hutcheson made reassuring noises about the F-word – flooding: “We’ve commissioned numerous surveys with particular reference to flooding… and for all those people who were a bit concerned and such like, well there’s no worries here whatsoever.” A month later Cyclone Wanda ripped down the coast and devastated Main Beach and The Woods camping area, and flooded parts of Noosaville and Tewantin. Lawyer Bob Cartwright donned his wet weather gear and went to inspect the damage. He recalled: “On the Sound, about 100 metres along, just opposite the Woods, the river level was so high it was lapping the top of the new retaining wall, and when there was a set or a surge from the ocean, ripples would break across the road, and wash out holes in the gravel. There was no doubt that it was in danger.” The immediate bandaid came in the form of the Mineral Deposits sandmining company, which had mining leases on Noosa’s lower North Shore, with a procession of tip trucks barging across the river and diverting to Noosa Sound every low tide, where the heavy, mineral-rich sand would be packed into the

cracks and holes. But when the problem worsened after Cyclone David two years later, the Bjelke-Petersen government in its wisdom decided that a long-term solution could be found through a “retraining of the river mouth” and lengthening of the Spit by half a kilometre to screen the Sound from ocean swell, thereby creating an environmental disaster, the consequences of which we are still grappling with today. The monumental $1.4 million cost of this was mostly shared by the state and Noosa Council, the developer, Noosa Island Estates, having disappeared like sand through the cracks of Noosa Sound, with its parent, Cambridge Credit, soon to follow. But let’s get back to happier times, and that stinking hot morning in December 1973, when Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen finally gets his turn at the microphone. The Premier continued the almost Biblical theme that “a former pest-infested area” had been miraculously transformed into a “beautiful housing estate”, before launching into an endless paean of praise for the courage and financial acumen of Hutcheson and Cambridge (“an organisation of high repute”) for juggling nine major development projects worth $175 million. It would be another nine months before

Cambridge Credit’s record collapse with liabilities of $190 million left 38,000 investors in the lurch, but in the canyon of O’Connell Street in Sydney’s financial district rumours were already flying that if the Whitlam government’s spending spree brought on the credit squeeze that many were predicting, the debt-heavy Cambridge house of cards would be among the first to topple. Was Joh providing cover for a mate in trouble? Who knows, but in winding up his long address he said: “One of the project managers said to me this morning, ‘It looks all very well now, but there were many times through the project we wondered how much money we were going to lose in this tremendous undertaking.’ “I’m afraid many people overlook these factors… they fail to appreciate the courage and risks involved in so many of the undertakings we see before us today. And so we say congratulations to you, Mr Hutcheson, and to your organisation.” And so say 38,000 investors who lost their shirts! Happy 50th, Noosa Sound.

A local gem Nestled in the heart of the captivating Noosa, Jo Pruss introduces Noosa Rentals, a labor of love born from her deep ties to the community and her passion for real estate. With almost two decades residing in the area and over 10 years immersed in the local real estate scene, Jo began in the administrative and sales realms at Ray White in Tewantin. What makes this journey more endearing? She bought her Cooroibah home from a colleague at the same firm, adding a personal touch to her connection with the region. For the past eight years, Jo has been all about property management and rentals. Starting by launching a Living Here franchise in Tewantin in 2016, she decided to break away from the franchise model, opting for a more personalised touch. She rebranded the venture as 6 Star Property Management, reflecting her commitment to tailored service and innovative approaches. The recent rollercoaster ride of challenges, including Covid-19 restrictions, constant legislative changes, and the rising pressures in the rental market, has yet to deter Jo’s spirit. Instead, it became the fuel for the inception of Noosa Rentals. “Here at Noosa Rentals, our mantra is simple - ’love where you live’. As locals deeply in love with this area, embracing our surroundings is key to finding contentment. For our clients, whether near or far, we aim to make them feel connected to our cherished slice of paradise,“ Jo shared with a relaxed grin. Noosa Rentals isn’t just about property owners. It’s equally about tenants. Jo knows that keeping both parties happy is the secret sauce, and the venture is all about creating an excellent experience for everyone involved. Jo’s life before Noosa was quite a journey across various countries. “I found my heart in Noosa, and I want to share that love through Noosa Rentals with investors and tenants,“ she said with genuine warmth.

Fair focus on remote jobs It sounds like a dream come true to have the career of your choice and work remotely in a beautiful place like Noosa. But not only has it become a reality for a number of local people, the Peregian Beach Digital Hub will be hosting a Remote Jobs Fair this month to help people in the tech space to achieve this goal or learn more about it. In an environment encouraging networking, jobs and good vibes, the Remote Jobs Fair will bring leading tech companies including Telstra, NCS, ENTAG, Deloitte, Octopus Deploy and Toustone to the Hub with information to be delivered through an expo, workshops and a panel discussion. Hub spokesman Sam Pavin said the halfday event, run in partnership with the State Government, aimed to promote remote tech jobs and bring together skilled individuals and remote-friendly tech employers. “We are talking about jobs ranging from software developers and engineers to UI/UX professionals, to digital marketers or product managers (people, in this case, working with tech/digital),“ Sam said. “The workshops will address the specifics of looking for and applying for remote work (and how to best promote yourself ) while the panel (of employers) will focus on bringing insights into how remote work is managed, what it looks like from a practical perspective, and how employees can thrive in that context. The Hub’s digital ecosystem and talent development program officer Deidre Marczynski said University of the Sunshine Coast students and recent graduates would also be involved as both event volunteers and job seekers. “A couple of UniSC IT and Cybersecurity students who are soon to graduate are looking forward to an opportunity to ’experience’ the tech industry and meet the company rep’s coming along to the Remote Jobs Fair with

Sam said while the emphasis of the fair was on skilled individuals some roles may be welcoming more junior profiles. “We do invite motivated students to come

by and meet with employers if they are willing to pursue a career in the industry, but graduate roles will not be the main focus,“ he said. “And, while this all sounds a little formal, it will not be. The event aims to be really welcoming, relaxed, yet professional, and

family-friendly.“ The Remote Jobs Fair will be held on Wednesday 15 November 9am-1pm at Peregian Beach Digital Hub. For more information, visit peregianhub. com.au/remotejobs

Clayton’s historic recovery By Margie Maccoll Whether it’s a breakdown, smash, rollover, sunken vehicle or boat, it’s more likely than not Clayton’s Towing will be on the spot, as they have been for more than 50 years in the region. Based on the Sunshine Coast it was a long haul for the towies when they headed to one of their most difficult underwater rescues ever - to retrieve a 100-tonne, 99-year-old paddle steamer that had sunk six months earlier in the Thompson River at Longreach. Mike Clayton said the historic vehicle, the Pride of the Murray, had been transported from Victoria to Longreach and sunk a year later. Over six months it silted up with mud and sat in water with zero visibility. Another contractor, Baldwin Boats, which had played a pivotal role in the transportation of the paddle steamer to Longreach, contacted Clayton’s for help. Over two months they devised a recovery plan. Mike said they sent a crew of 10 who made the journey in convoy to Longreach with all the necessary equipment, including excavators and a Mega Tow onboard low loaders. “We organised divers (from Abco Commercial Diving team) to put straps around it. It’s so old we were concerned it wouldn’t take the strain. We had to make sure it wouldn’t come apart,“ he said. Mike said the owners of the boat made a ramp down the embankment and they bought in more equipment to smooth the ramp to the boat and ensure there was nothing in its path. The recovery from there took five days, three days dragging it out of the water. “We had to keep stopping, adjusting and moving the straps around,“ Mike said. “There are always challenges as you go. “The boys were pretty confident. In the end it all ran pretty perfectly. It stayed in one piece.“ Mike said it was a team effort that resulted in the success. After the boat was surveyed to see if it could go back in the water it was decided to keep it on the bank, he said.

Claytons begin the process of dragging the Pride of the Murray from the river.

There was little of the paddle steamer remaining out of the water when Clayton’s arrived.

Claytons use a purposely-created ramp to ease the boat out.

Straps placed around the boat were placed by divers and adjusted during the process.

A drone captures the recovery of the Pride of the Murray.

Care is taken to ensure the boat is recovered in one piece.

Good Shepherd wins the crown at National Esports Jacqueline Best (teacher), Brid Hennessey, Jordan Johnston, Jacob Wiener, Kaleb Walker, Noah Simpson, Faith Harriman, Daniel Reeves, Livvi Webster and Andy Riek (teacher) meet Sir Paul McCartney. Picture: MPL COMMUNICATIONS

Beat-le that! The talented students of Suncoast Christian College lived a Beatles’-worthy dream on Saturday as they rocked out with the legendary Sir Paul McCartney at his Gold Coast concert. Sir Paul, a living legend and one of the most influential figures in the history of modern music, welcomed the Suncoast Senior Band, a group of eight exceptionally gifted students, to an exclusive meet-and-greet session. The students had the unique opportunity to share a few moments with the former Beatle, exchanging stories and inspiration with one of the world’s greatest songwriters. This once-in-a-lifetime experience left a lasting imprint on the young musicians and the entire school community. Jacob Weiner, pianist and vocalist in the winning group, beamed with joy. “The entire day was like a dream, I couldn’t believe we got to meet such a huge musical legend. Sir Paul McCartney is my ultimate lifelong musical hero, and it was the opportunity of a lifetime.” Principal Greg Mattiske couldn’t hide his enthusiasm as he said, “This was an absolute helter skelter of excitement for all of us here at Suncoast. To meet a living legend like Sir Paul

Students of Suncoast Christian College lived a Beatles’-worthy dream. McCartney was a privilege and an honour.” Andrew Reik, one of the passionate music teachers who encouraged the group to apply, said “The dedication and hard work of our students paid off brilliantly. Meeting Sir Paul McCartney was a major testament to their talent and effort, and I have no doubt our incredible students will go on to achieve great things in the world of music.”

Two ambitious Year 6 students Ari Waters and Thomas Dixon from Good Shepherd Lutheran College (GSLC), have emerged as national champions, conquering the regional, state, and national finals in the high-octane world of Esports. Their remarkable journey culminated in a triumphant win at the national finals, solidifying their reputation as the rising stars of competitive gaming. The state national finals held on the Gold Coast last week, saw Ari and Thomas face off against fierce competitors in epic clashes of strategy and precision. The state championship matches were incredibly close, with both teams demonstrating outstanding offence and defence, keeping spectators on the edge of their seats. In a nail-biting match, Ari and Thomas emerged victorious, defeating the reigning state and national champions. The national stage was where they secured the top position, earning the title of Fuse Cup National Rocket League Champions. Their dedication, teamwork, and skill were nothing short of awe-inspiring. Mr Rossow, the Esports Coordinator at Good Shepherd, expressed his pride in the achievements of Ari and Thomas, as he said, “The success of Ari and Thomas in the Esports arena is a testament to the dedication and talent of these students.“ “We are committed to Esports here at Good Shepherd, and look forward to supporting more students on their journeys to Esports success in the future.“ GSLC takes great pride in its Esports program, which includes both a social

The competitive teams benefit from regular on-campus training sessions to hone their teamwork, communication, skills, and strategies. The Esports social club at GSLC serves as a welcoming space for like-minded students to connect and bond over their shared passion for Esports. Here, students not only enjoy the camaraderie of fellow gamers but also work together to develop techniques for safe and responsible gaming, whether for casual enjoyment or competitive play.

Critical step in hydro work The Borumba pumped hydro energy project in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, being delivered by public energy company Queensland Hydro, has taken a critical step in delivering the key clean energy project, this week opening Expressions of Interest for underground works. The EOI for underground works marks the first step in the most significant program to be delivered during the exploratory works phase of the project. The package will involve the excavation of soil and rock utilising controlled blast and drilling methods, rather than tunnel boring machine, to form a D-shaped tunnel leading to the proposed site of the underground powerhouse cavern. This tunnelling will complement surface geological investigations, which together will provide a detailed understanding of ground conditions to inform detailed design of the project and how it is best delivered. The works will be accompanied by the required environmental approvals and once complete, the excavated tunnel will be repurposed to become a permanent cable tunnel. The EOI release follows the CoordinatorGeneral’s coordinated project declaration on 12 October 2023, signalling the start of the rigorous assessment of social, economic and environmental matters before the Borumba Project’s Main Works can begin. The first of the Queensland Government’s two foundational hydropower energy storage projects, the 2000MW Borumba project will charge up from excess wind and solar generated in the states south east to keep the lights

on for up to 2 millions households. Once underway, the project’s main works will create more than 2000 jobs during construction, and boost the regional economy by tens of millions. Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen Minister Mick de Brenni said, “Experts and responsible leaders around the world are recognising the critical role of pumped hydropower in unlocking the capacity of renewables and delivering the clean energy transition. “Pumped hydro offers a trifecta of opportunity by driving sustainable economic growth, bringing wealth and equality to more communities, and combating climate change.“ Queensland Hydro chief executive officer Kieran Cusack said, “Queensland Hydro is pleased to release this EOI to the market. We’re excited about this release because it’s the first major package of works since we launched our industry engagement program in July, with three industry events held in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gympie. “Attendees came from a broad range of industry including contractors, local suppliers, service suppliers, consultants, equipment suppliers and potential industry partners. “We’ve been working with industry to ensure we attract the best partners for the project while creating opportunities for local industry involvement. “Queensland Hydro will work with the successful contractor to maximise opportunities for local and Indigenous businesses and workers to be prepared for, and access opportunities on the exploratory works program.“

Myles and Bernice on their wedding day.

Still a perfect love match By Jim Fagan In 1960 Bernice Berry was just 17 when she met Myles Walters at the local tennis club. She didn’t know it then but she was to start a perfect match which is now 60-love. This week on November 9 at Cooroy, she and Myles (83) will celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary with their two sons, a daughter, and two grandchildren and a great grandson who are visiting them from New Zealand. They were married in Gisborne, New Zealand, and in 1991 decided to come to Noosa to live. They had built a house in Tewantin so it was an easy decision, Myles resuming his trade as an electrician and Bernice working at the Sunshine Coast Daily in production. “We chose Noosa as we had friends in

the area and for its natural beauty, climate and lifestyle,” Bernice told Noosa Today. They now live in Cooroy and are happily retired, active in sports like golf and, of course, tennis and touring Australia in their caravan. So what are the values that underpin such a successful marriage? “Commitment to the promise that you make on our wedding day,” they said. “Love, friendship, common interests and a sense of humour are also a great recipe. “It sounds simple but it is 100 per cent important. “I think romance as well. Myles is something of a romantic. I always get lovely presents at birthdays and anniversaries. If he is in the garden, he will pick a rose and bring it in.”

In the spirit for change By Abbey Cannan It’s time to empty that bottle of wine or spirit as you can now score a 10-cent refund at Express Recycling Noosa thanks to the Containers for Change refund scheme. Noosa MP Sandy Bolton joined the team on site at 26 Action St, Noosaville to celebrate Queensland becoming the first state in Australia to accept glass wine and spirit bottles for 10-cent refunds. Express Recycling Noosa site manager Dion Lawrence said people had been looking forward to these bottles joining the scheme. “Everyone’s really excited about this as we don’t want bottles ending up in landfill,“ Dion said. His partner Josie Lawrence agreed, as she said, “Our motto is ’small change, big difference’ because we see every little change make a huge impact and have that flow on effect.“ “While some people come in here and recycle for the money factor, a lot of people have shared with us that it changed their mental health and wellbeing.“ Dion said recycling was super simple. “You bring your bottles in bags and we help you unload through the specialised counting machines,“ he said. “We offer a number of ways for businesses, sporting clubs, and organisations to get involved. We do commercial pick-ups and residential collection. “We know it’s not a one size fits all, so there’s a lot of ways you can do it. We also have a 24bag drop for those who are a part of the Containers for Change scheme.“ The local business owners said the community continued to do an amazing job in recycling eligible beverage containers and saving them from ending up in landfill - leaving a positive environmental footprint. “We have some incredible businesses, schools, charities, sporting groups and individ-

ers for Change launched in Queensland, and in that time we have reached a truly remarkable milestone of more than 7.1 billion containers recycled through the scheme,” she said. “That is 7.1 billion containers that did not end up as litter or landfill. “In addition to environmental benefits, Containers for Change has also delivered positive social and economic impacts, with more than $710 million returned to the pockets of Queenslanders since the scheme began, including almost $11 million which has been paid to charities and community groups. “The scheme has also supported more than 935 jobs across Queensland, with many of

With some wines and spirits having a longer shelf life than other drink products, manufacturers will be given until 1 January 2027 to display the 10-cent refund mark on their product labels.

PICK OF THE WEEK

Host Shelley Craft (pictured) is a stalwart from The Block, but thankfully this series isn’t awash with multimilliondollar priced homes. While The Block sells a certain aspirational dream, complete with the latest gadgets and furniture straight from the stores, this relatively easygoing series – boosted by Shelley’s sunny personality – is about the simple goal of finding beach abode. Bereft of product placement and featuring a mix of homehunters with diverse budgets, it’s an entertaining slice of Australia’s diverse coastal housing stock. Tonight, picturesque Yamba on NSW’s North Coast is the first destination, followed by the holiday hotspot of North Stradbroke Island.

DESSERT MASTERS 10, Sunday, 7.30pm

Perhaps this is the beginning of pastries and ice-cream being blessed as perfectly acceptable Sunday night dinner fare. In this upbeat and unapologetically sweet MasterChef spin-off, premiering tonight, sugar is fundamental. The difference with this confection is that the hosts, former MasterChef judge Melissa Leong and acclaimed Swiss-French pastry chef Amaury Guichon (both pictured), are witnessing 10 expert pastry chef and chocolate aficionados in action. There’s no half measures, with the amateur baking left to the viewers. With a wholesome $100,000 up for grabs for the winner, there are toothsome creations inspired by everything from pure nostalgia to films and nature.

So when the series was abruptly cancelled after season six and Moore called the decision a “mistake”, it’s understandable TV execs revoked their call… No one messes with Hondo. In tonight’s double episode, a home invasion affects a famous gridiron player. Later, the team races to prevent a hostage situation from escalating on live TV.

This superlative series about the magic of music – and the power of heartfelt, vulnerable conversation – wraps up its second season with a bang. Featuring a smattering of salsa, and some stirring, teary moments, musical theatre star Lin-Manuel Miranda shares five songs that have defined him. The Hamilton creator sits down with Zan Rowe (pictured with Miranda) for a colourful chat about his career and the impact of losing his dear friend and mentor Stephen Sondheim. There’s an emotional sing-along to Sondheim’s song Move On, with Miranda also delving into his hits with Disney.

Recycling and a movie A free outdoor movie and a landfill tour are among the fun and informative National Recycling Week activities to encourage Noosa residents to think twice about what they’re throwing away. “National Recycling Week from November 13 to 19 is an opportunity for all of us to pause and think about what we’re sending to landfill and consider whether it is waste after all or whether it could be recycled instead,” Noosa Council’s waste education officer Emma Menzies said. Council will screen Sing 2 on Friday November 17 at 6.30pm at Noosaville Lions Park, Gympie Terrace, with free recycling activities for kids from 5pm. “Bring a picnic blanket and the kids – they’ll get to watch a fun movie, but importantly, beforehand they’ll learn a bit about recycling and how the little changes we can all make at home collectively stand to make a big impact on the environment,” Ms Menzies said. “Reducing our waste not only keeps valuable materials out of landfill, it also benefits the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.” A landfill tour will offer residents an insight as to what happens to material placed in redtop bins. “The free tour of the landfill is on November 29 from 9-11am, with free bus travel from The J at Noosa Junction,” Ms Menzies said. “You’ll learn about the landfill process, see the vast space waste takes up, discover how greenhouse gas is produced in landfill, and importantly hear why taking responsibility for reducing our own waste makes a positive difference.” Book online for the landfill tour at bit.ly/ landfill_tour The Garage Sale Trail is also on in November and Ms Menzies says there’s still time to get involved over the two weekends – November 11 and 12, and November 18 and 19.

Council will screen Sing 2 on Friday 17 November at 6.30pm at Noosaville Lions Park. Noosa Council joined more than 80 local governments across Australia to take part in the national event, which encourages recycling and re-use to reduce waste to landfill. With free registration, how-to guides, and promotional resources available, it’s easy to host a garage sale, and find where to go to grab a bargain, across the two weekends. Visit garagesaletrail.com.au/noosa for details. National Recycling week is also a great time to get to know council’s free AI-powered online Recycle Mate app. “Simply tell the website what items you

want to recycle or no longer need, to find a list of Noosa-specific options to either recycle the item or donate it for repair and reuse,” Ms Menzies said. Council partnered with Recycle Mate, an initiative of the Australian Recycling Industry, in an Australian-first project to create the custom web-based program especially for Noosa locals. Visit noosa.qld.gov.au/sort-waste to find out more. Planet Ark founded National Recycling Week in 1996 as an opportunity for Austra-

lians to take waste and recycling into their own hands by improving their recycling knowledge and building better recycling habits. Since then, the annual recycling rate in Australia has increased from just 7 per cent of all disposed materials to more than 60 per cent. “We have come a long way since National Recycling Week was established in 1996, but there is still more we could be doing to ensure valuable resources don’t end up wasted in landfill, especially when it comes to food waste and recycling our packaging,” Planet Ark chief executive officer Rebecca Gilling said.

Tewantin Noosa QCWA fuels up Wildlife Noosa Tewantin Noosa QCWA will donate all proceeds from a street stall on 7 December as fuel cards to Wildlife Noosa to assist with the costs of rescuing birds and animals in the local area. Chief rescue officer and founder Will Watson said, “Fuel is the biggest single cost for our not-for-profit rescue service and is the biggest obstacle for us in getting volunteers to transport animals or carry out our work.“ “We transport sick birds and animals, patrol the Noosa River, cutting fishing lines out of trees, collecting rubbish along the river and checking the health of sea birds constantly. Volunteers pay for the cost of

the fuel personally, and as the cost rises, the number of volunteers is less. “We are really pleased to have the Tewantin Noosa QCWA help support us and we will be at the stall to tell people about our work and who we are.“ The street stall starts at 8am and will finish at 10.30am or sooner, if sold out. The hard working volunteers from the local QCWA branch will be selling fresh scones with jam and cream, home baking, expert crafts and beautiful plants, as well as Christmas themed items. The public is invited to meet the team from Noosa Wildlife Rescue and the QCWA members at the stall.

Blues Arcadia are returning to Eumundi to perform in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel.

Blues Arcadia returning for electrifying soul stomp revival Three-time Australian Blues Music Award winners and one of the most electrifying blues/ soul outfits in the land, Blues Arcadia are returning to Eumundi to perform in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel on Saturday 9 December. The dynamic Brisbane five-piece combine the legendary soul of Stax and Motown with the heat and power of the Chicago and Memphis blues to create a unique dirty-soul sound delivered with swagger, style, and sensitivity. Blues Arcadia made a huge impact with their debut album Carnival Of Fools (2019), and have since brought their energetic and authentic live show to festivals and venues everywhere from far north QLD to Adelaide. They have taken things to a whole new level, recently unleashing their killer second album Now Or Never with fresh forays into funk and jazz, while never straying too far from their grounding in the blues. Keys player Paula Girvan brings the jazz, while the longstanding rhythm section of bassist Jeremy Klysz and drummer Casper

Hall brings the funk. Guitarist Chris Harvey fuses the fluency of Stevie Ray Vaughan with the more traditional blues stylings of the Three Kings (Albert, Freddie and B.B.), yet his playing sounds thrillingly contemporary. Frontman Alan Boyle sings it like he lives it, wrenching every last drop of sweat, passion and emotion from lyrics that speak to direct experience. Blues Arcadia are five strong individual personalities working together to create something uniquely exciting. It’s almost impossible to choose which of them to watch and engage with during a show, where each player directs their energy into the most important thing – the Song, making it the best it can be. That is the power of Blues Arcadia. If you haven’t experienced Blues Arcadia before, this is one party you don’t want to miss. Book your tickets for an uninhibited old-fashioned soul stomp revival. TICKETS: $30 (+ booking fee) through Oztix. 18+ event. Doors open 7.30pm

Jan Williamson is an acclaimed, professional artist who specialises in portraiture. Her paintings are grounded in memories of a life lived surrounded by family, and observations of children immersed in their own imaginary worlds. Jan has raised nine children, and has welcomed 22 grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. She has been living and painting on the Sunshine Coast for the last 10 years, after having holidayed almost annually at her favourite camping spot in Coolum since the 1970’s. Born in Meanjin/Brisbane, Jan began drawing and painting at a young age. Some of her earliest memories were of drawing horses and cows, and people. She always loved drawing people. Largely self-taught with the assistance of books on painting and drawing, Jan acknowledges that she will always be learning. She has been painting and exhibiting for more than 50 years, and her works are represented in Australian and international private collections. In 2000 while living in Sydney Jan decided that she would like to try entering the Archibald Prize. Her then picture framer introduced her to Tom Carroll, and her portrait was selected as a finalist in the inaugural Sporting Portrait Prize that year, launched in conjunction with the Sydney Olympics. A finalist five times in the Archibald Prize, Jan won the Packing Room Prize for two consecutive years with portraits of Jenny Morris and Rachel Ward (2002, 2003), and the People’s Choice Award in 2002 for her portrait of Morris. Jan is one of only three artists to have been awarded the Packing Room Prize twice, and taken out the People’s Choice Award and Packing Room Prize in the same year in the 100 year history of the Archibald Prize. Jan’s portraits have been selected as finalists in all the major Australian exhibitions.

AI offers access all areas By Phil Jarratt When artificial intelligence apps first hit the radar of Noosa’s extraordinary art photographer Paul Smith, he didn’t know what to make of them. “In fact,” he tells Noosa Today, “I was a little bit of scared of the whole thing, didn’t know what to make of it, but I’ve always been one to embrace the new.” Embracing the new might be an appropriate subhead for his brilliantly shocking Access All Areas exhibition, in collaboration with partner Samantha Anderson of Stone and Metal Jewellery, but in fact his AI-assisted re-imagining of famous people is inspired by his past life as a rock photographer for Rolling Stone magazine. He says: “I always enjoyed showing people behind the scenes at a concert, places they couldn’t get to, like the dressing room. In a way the statement I’m making with this work is going one step further, showing them familiar people, celebrities, in a way they have never seen and could never imagine.” Possibly Paul found inspiration even further back, when as a semi-professional skier and snowboarder based in the Swiss Alps, much in demand to star in action photo shoots for his sponsors, he had an epiphany. He’d get behind the camera instead of in front of it. Professional photography looked like fun and it couldn’t be that hard, so he jumped right in. Faced with an AI revolution within his chosen profession, he’s jumped right in again. Paul says he spent about six months getting to know a variety of AI-derived digital art programs and working out what worked best for him in creating a base for his layered portraiture. Six weeks ago he began the 20 pieces that make up Access All Areas, spending more than 60 hours on some of the portraits of celebrities ranging from royals – the late Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh are there, alongside King Charles – to rock stars and screen sirens. What was the most difficult? “Oh, Paris Hilton for sure. All those dogs! I haven’t really done dogs, and all those eyes to try and get right! I know how to give people a certain look, using the veins in the eyelids, but I was trying to make the dogs look a bit quizzical, like what am I doing here? “The way I use AI in this process is basically as a sketch you’d do prior to painting a portrait. “I’ll program in all the information I want, like camera angle, lighting, how I want them to pose, what I want them wearing, and create a first draft. AI then spits out the basic guideline for what I want to create. “Then I use other programs to size up the image and so on so I can paint the picture. The easy part is that initial composition. The hard part is the detail that follows, but it’s also the part I enjoy the most.” Personal favourite? “Probably Heath Ledger. It’s got a kind of solemn feel, the tortured artist.” The images are confronting and compelling, the familiar subjects meeting your gaze with a riveting stare, their bodies ablaze with tattoos and opulent jewellery. The experience is bewitching, but what got this viewer in was the detail, wondering how much was real and how much imagined.

I asked Paul how he thought people might react to his “re-imagining” of beloved celebrities. “Don’t know yet. Trying not to think about it until after we open. But I like to think I’ve portrayed them in a good way, in a way that they’d like, or at least see the humour in. I walked past a normal picture of the Queen the other day and I definitely prefer her with tatts!”

Samantha Anderson’s incredible jewellery will be featured in the exhibition alongside depictions of it in the portraits. She says: “This collection uses more faceted, polished and refined stone than my usual raw, uncut natural gems. These are going for a more regal, opulent, luxurious feel, but still pared back with organic hand-tooled silverwork. “Inspired by the bold palette of the images, I’ve gone for more richly-coloured gems and

jewels, as well as big and beautiful cut quartz. My work usually has a more rustic appeal but these are statement pieces with a twist. Think hand-forged meets Hollywood glamour.” Access All Areas will be at Paul Smith Images Gallery, 16 Sunshine Beach Rd, Noosa Junction, from opening weekend 18-19 November, 12-6pm. Normal exhibition hours: 18 November – 9 December, Mon-Sat 10am-4pm. Phone 0405 834 864. Friday, 10 November, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 33

Salvo’s appeal launches The Salvation Army is launching its annual Christmas appeal on the Sunshine Coast, which will help The Salvos support individuals and families in the local community who are experiencing hardship this Christmas. The rising cost of living, interest rate and rental price hikes has meant that more people have been turning to The Salvation Army for support, making this year’s Christmas Appeal vitally important. The Salvos are aiming to raise $25 million nationally, so nobody struggles alone this Christmas. The Salvation Army’s public relations secretary for Queensland Simon Gregory said, “Christmas is the busiest time of the year for The Salvos, and this Christmas we expect the additional stresses of this year will result in more people than ever struggling to afford Christmas for themselves and their families.“ “The Salvation Army are here for you. Whether it is practical support like food or presents, or if you are feeling down or lonely this Christmas, reach out to us at The Salvos.” There are many ways that you can partner with The Salvos to support your community this Christmas, including lending a hand, donating products such as gifts and food, or offering a financial donation to our Christmas Appeal.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Focus needs to be on the underprivileged I applaud a letter In Noosa Today (2/11/23) from John Mikkelsen, “No means No”, which sums up the very costly Voice referendum which not only created divisions but took the focus away from the people that really need help today. That is, the Aboriginal people in remote communities who are facing domestic violence, rapes, poor health, and limited prospects. I would also add to that other Australians that are living in cars, being homeless and going without meals due to the rapidly rising cost of living. We also have a housing crisis and youth crime issue. As John pointed out in his letter, the Voice referendum reportedly costs in the order of $450m plus the corporate millions poured into the campaign. You can imagine what that money would do to help the people in need. The Albanese Government appears to have the wrong priorities in appeasing the wealthy virtue signalling corporates, the Canberra elites, and the inner city rich. The Voice referendum clearly showed the only Yes seats were the inner city rich and the Canberra government employees, while the outer city and country clearly voted a resounding No. Albo, forget about making a name for yourself in history or on the world stage, help Australians, that is what you are paid to do! Simply put, 1. A properly constructed group of concerned and knowledgeable people to review/audit where the reported $34b to$45b per year of Aboriginal funding is spent. 2. The same group or subgroup to undertake a complete study into the issues and problems in remote Aboriginal communities and make recommendations on how to help these communities. I do not believe a royal commission held in a room in a large city and calling witnesses would help. Just go and have a look in these communities and talk to people like Jacinta Price who was raised in a remote Aboriginal community and lives in Alice Springs. 3. State and Federal Governments need to make No 1 priority on housing homeless people and reducing the cost of living. John Hayward, Noosaville

Horse Properties have been suggesting that the 400+ objections by local residents to the hotel should be disregarded owing to the manner in which these were collected. A recognised and expedient way to elicit response is to facilitate by pre-preparing a document to sign. We should remember that those who signed to confirm their formal objection to the hotel (and not everyone did), were informed grownups. Name supplied and with held at request, Noosa Springs resident

Survey should be disregarded Endangered list By way of introduction let me explain that I am a resident of Noosa Springs, a member of the Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort and a retired market researcher and former member of the UK Market Research Society. As a market researcher with BP Oil at its London head office, I commissioned many research studies working with the UK’s leading market research agencies and later in my career, applied my research skills for major clients such as IBM and HP at my direct marketing agency. Some eight weeks ago, I was told about the golf club study. I commented that it could not be representative because only polarised, motivated minorities would be likely to participate. However, I added that if the survey was given credence, it could provide worrying ammunition to the club efforts to influence the council members’ decision. It appears that this ‘survey’ is indeed being used in this way. This self-administered study using an unqualified, poorly designed questionnaire based on small, motley group of respondents is fallacious. In order to prove or disprove the point GH wish to make, their study ought to have been conducted independently (to obviate conflict of interest), employing a sound sample design/methodology which would have ensured that all of the various response segments were correctly represented (to ensure no response bias). At a minimum, this would have allowed the valid responses to be analysed in a more meaningful way and would have not led to data massaging and invalid assumptions (eg that “neutral view-holders“ must surely be supportive of the hotel, for example). I could go on, but, in brief, the number of respondents agreeing to participate is only 260. This is a worryingly low figure and can only be attributed to very substantial levels of refusal to participate because, over an estimated eight-week period, “everyone” was being asked, according to the staff member who invited me to participate. It is impossible to give this self-serving study any credence whatsoever. Its findings are worthless and should be disregarded. On the subject of disregarding, Golden 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 November, 2023

Majority rules Re NT letter from John Mikkelsen Fri 3 November, that was the most sensible, well written letter we’ve read in Noosa Today for a long time. Absolutely agree with everything he said in such a succinct way, particularly that Yes voters need to just accept the majority decision, stop analysing it and instead direct their anger or frustration to supporting a move to investigate exactly where the billions of taxpayers’ dollars spent by the government so far, have in fact gone (wouldn’t that open a can of worms)! Surely this is essential to ensure more funds don’t continue to be poured into the same bottomless pit and instead direct the focus to more effective help programs. Why isn’t that so much more important and concerning to Yes voters. Chris Hobart, Noosa

Traffic needs solving now Hello, we have been lucky to be happy residents of Noosa for over seven years now. But this time of year, the same old conversation arises regarding where does all the traffic heading for Hastings Street go. We’ve heard this for seven years and we’re convinced, we’ll hear about it for the next seven years, and beyond. All the combined professional experts, with their wages, in that seven years, still can’t come up with a solution. And it’s like a ball..., it just keeps bouncing around, like we’re all stupid and we’ve never heard about this before. There is only one solution, and that is a multi level concrete car park. And if that car

park was of an attractive design, including tall trees against it, it would be perfect in Lions Park, where everybody could walk to Hastings Street accommodation, the beach, restaurants, shops etc. Otherwise, positioning it anywhere else is going to involve regular mini bus transfers, with the drivers, would be a substantial ongoing cost. But what’s the point in being like an ostrich.. , sticking your head in the ground till the problem goes away. It’s here and it has to be solved by the council, now. Michael and Vicki Neich, Noosa

Benefits outweigh downside The Noosa Triathlon has been running for 40 years and every year brings millions of dollars into the community. Accommodation providers fill up, restaurants and cafes get a boost in business, retailers enjoy the benefit of extra people in town and there is an exciting buzz. Yes, a few people are inconvenienced during the road closures and a few businesses are not able to open Sunday morning but the overall benefits of the Noosa Tri outweigh the minor downsides. The naysayers don’t seem to understand that living in a resort town means there is an economic dependency on the influx of seasonal tourists and out-of-season big events. For those opposed to occasional road closures, moving to Hervey Bay might be a good option. Woody Dass, Noosaville

Become an activist Here is something to think about. This decade is the warmest in the past 115,000 years, since the beginning of the last Ice Age. It is also likely to be the coolest for the next 1000 or more years, even if we reach zero carbon emissions in the next two decades, for which we are not on track. The meaning of this is lost on most of us because we seem not to be able to imagine anything different from what we know. Intellectually, we know it means more floods, more droughts, more fires, but it will never affect me, right? It also means much higher insurance premiums, if you can get insurance at all. According to The Climate Council, 10 per cent of Wide Bay and 8.5 per cent of Fairfax homes are predicted to be uninsurable within the decade due to risks of natural disasters which are the consequence of global warming. Now, that might affect you.

It also means higher food prices because of the increased unpredictable growing conditions. We’ll be able to blame Labor and Coalition in equal proportions for this. It also means our national security is compromised. Admiral Chis Barrie, former chief of the Australian Defense Force, has warned that the threat of climate change has become the number one threat to Australia’s national security. But what would he know? This is not to mention the huge threat of extinction to many of our native species of plants and animals, a not insignificant effect of global warming, but not, apparently, as important as interest rates. Many of us felt so relieved when Labor was returned at the last election to finally take action on climate change after more than a decade of inaction by both parties. But we have been disappointed. Reaching an unexpected majority government without the brakes applied by the Teals and Greens, this government, while flying the flag of action on climate change, has approved over 230 new coal and gas projects that will result in 1.4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere over the life of the projects. This is equivalent to 215 new coal fired power plants being built in Australia between now and 2030, according to The Australia Institute. Somehow, this does not sound like taking action on climate change. All over the world, there are protests about a range of issues, from anger at Israel for over achieving in war crimes, to an assembly at our council offices last Friday to protest against the proposed Noosa River Conservation Park. These issues are important but none are more important than stopping the planet from warming. Three states have passed draconian laws making it illegal to protest in the name of action on climate change. This alone should be raising extreme concern for human rights, but the need for action at all levels is ever increasing. I don’t know why the streets are not full of placards and people demanding action on climate change every day of the week. The seriousness of this cannot be overstated. Write your letters to your representatives (though I must say neither of our Federal members would know what you are talking about) and ministers, buy your induction stove top, invest in an EV, put a sticker on your car, on your mailbox, on your shop window, talk about this issue, and write a letter to your local paper. We all must become activists or we’ll all become victims. Steve Hall, Cooroy

Youth justice committee calls for submissions On 23 October 2023, the Youth Justice Reform Select Committee announced the call for submissions into its inquiry into youth justice reform in Queensland. Committee chair and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton also detailed the committee’s approach to its year-long inquiry. “I would like to clarify the phased approach that the committee has adopted for this crucial inquiry,” she said. “The committee takes its role very seriously and is committed to a process that delivers clear actions along the way. A number of Queensland Parliamentary committees have recently examined issues relevant to the committee’s terms of reference, which included traveling to regional Queensland to consult with the community. “Communities across Queensland expect this committee to move the debate forward, not simply repeat what other committees have already done. “We know that victims of crime want solutions that work to reduce youth offending and keep the community safe. That is why the committee is currently focused on developing its evidence base and identifying possible solutions to this complex issue before consulting broadly with Queenslanders which will include travel to regional Queensland early in 2024.” In response to recent media coverage of youth crime rallies in Townsville, Ms Bolton advised that the committee had accepted the Member for Thuringowa’s apology for misleading comments he made about some committee members and travel to Townsville. “I can confirm no committee member has expressed reluctance to travel to Townsville or anywhere else,“ Ms Bolton said. “There should be no misapprehension or misunderstanding that the committee intends to travel to the regions once it has identified solutions to test with the community.

Tech and innovation to drive five-year waste plan Turning waste into a resource is central to Council’s new five-year plan for waste and recycling. Exploring new technology and forging new partnerships to boost recycling and keep more material from ending up in landfill are key actions. “The state requires all councils to have a waste plan and to renew it regularly. Built into our refreshed plan – From Waste to Resource - is a strong focus on technology, new recycling and reuse opportunities and the forging of partnerships with other councils to deliver it,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. The plan will build on recent new innovations, including launch of a polystyrene thermal compaction machine at Council’s Resource Recovery Centre. “The machine melts down the polystyrene to create a resource useful for manufacturing new products. Keeping this material out of our landfill is set to save Council around $380,000 a year in landfill costs,” Cr Stewart said. “So, it’s a great launchpad for the next five years. As a result of our new MoU with Gympie Regional Council, we’re also processing their polystyrene waste in a circular-economy partnership that benefits both councils. These are the sorts of initiatives residents can expect to see more of.” With organic waste still a big part of most wheelie bin contents, and a major contributor to emissions, the plan commits Council to explore ways to divert food waste from landfill. “We diverted green waste from landfill in 2017 with the broad rollout of garden waste bins, and we were a leader, if not the first in Queensland, to be doing that,” Waste and Resource Recovery Manager Kyrone Dodd said. “Food waste accounts for around 40 per

As it breaks down in landfill, that food waste accounts for a significant 63 per cent of Council’s emissions,” he said. “Under our new plan we’ll be investigating ways for processing food waste and the new infrastructure needed to make it happen.” Mayor Stewart praised the community for helping draft and refine the From Waste to Resource document, which Council adopted with a unanimous vote on Thursday. “Feedback from our community showed strong support for the Waste Hierarchy Principles that encourage avoidance of waste in the first place, reuse, recycling, the use of waste to make energy, with landfill as a last resort,” Cr Stewart said. “There was also strong support for us all taking personal responsibility for minimising waste.”

Aussie saga of 17th doll By Margie Maccoll Seething with passion, disappointment and heartbreak the story of two North Queensland cane cutters, Barney and Roo, spending their annual, five-month summer layoff in Melbourne with two barmaids, Olive and Nancy is about ritual, change, mateship and fragility. Summer of the Seventeenth Doll by Ray Lawler is a captivating drama brilliantly directed by Ian Mackellar and another success for Noosa Arts Theatre. This 17th summer after 16 years, marked by the gift from Roo to Olive of a kewpie doll each year, things have changed. Nancy has married and Olive has lined up the moralistic widow Pearl to take her place. A difficult work season for Roo and Barney has ramifications for the group as well as the young, innocent next door neighbour Bubba and young upstart work colleague Johnnie. Each one of the four core characters must face questions about the kind of life they really want and whether there is something more desirable to be found by the breaking of old patterns. When it was first staged in 1955 Summer of the Seventeenth Doll showed the country and the world how life in suburban Australia could be a gripping yarn without embellishment or sentimentality. It was a benchmark for Australian drama and became an instant hit for the Union Theatre Repertory Company, touring Australia, the London West End and Broadway and catapulting playwright Ray Lawler to prominence. Director Ian Mackellar has selected a very strong cast who all present as real people immersed in the relationships the play presents. Alison Venning shines as Olive Leech, giving the role a vitality and energy; whilst the multiple award-winning Glen Miller gives a solid performance as cane cutter Roo Webber with a quietness and sensitivity that never belies his manliness. As Roo’s offsider Barney Ibbot, Tom Middleton is the perfect balance to Miller and likeable enough for the audience to tolerate his larrikinism. Oriana Packman remains true to her role as the prim and proper Pearl Cunningham even as she becomes swept up in the goings on of the group. Margaret Courtney is very believable as the no-nonsense, all-knowing Emma Leech, Olive’s mum and landlady of the boarding house. Tenai Quinn is perfect in the role of sweet, vivacious Bubba Ryan and Alex Cox is forceful as the adversarial Johnnie Dowd. Every production is more than the actors, of course, and the behind the scenes creatives make for a powerful and seamless show. In her other role as costume designer Margaret Courtney is spot on in delivering the fashion styles of post-war Australia, perfectly complemented with the hairstyles by Mickey Craddock, which convincingly complete the audience’s time transportation. To see the set by Ian Mackellar and David Hill is to step back into a time where an upright piano was expected in the lounge alongside solid, wooden furniture, tablecloths were an essential item and in pre-television Australia no home was without a prominently-placed radio. The comfortable lounge room setting resonates with audiences and enhances the

contrast with the conflict in the storyline. The kewpie dolls, one delivered each year of their visit, are a kitsch addition to the room, striking the audience with an image that declares both the significance of the annual visit and its comparison to an otherwise mundane existence. The warm pink set walls and cleverly concealed but luminous lighting are visual cues of the heat in the unfolding situation and the Australian summer. This Summer of the Seventeenth Doll lets the audience feel they are living the action in a plot just as relevant today as it was in the

1950s, rather than just experiencing a stage show. There’s no doubt that Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is masterfully written, full of intricacies and emotions and still stands as one of Australia’s most praise-worthy plays. Summer of the Seventeenth Doll will be performed at Noosa Arts Theatre until 18 November with evening performances on 10, 16 and 17 at 7.30pm and matinees on 11, 12 and 18 at 2pm.

The Immortals of Australian Surfing by Phil Jarratt (Gelding Street Press $39.99) is available at Big W and all good bookstores.

A very young Mick Fanning.

Phil’s surfing immortals By Abbey Cannan Noosa Today’s Phil Jarratt said he would get me fired unless I wrote a story on his millionth book about surfing, The Immortals of Australian Surfing, so here we go. That’s great clickbait but in reality, he never told us he had a new book launching and reluctantly agreed to an interview after I spotted an email from a publicist. “I might consent to an interview,” the journalist, author, publisher, and filmmaker with more than 50 years’ experience said. I guess I owe him a bit of love after posting his opinion pieces on the Noosa Today Facebook page. The man sure does know how to keep the people talking! He’s now ready to cop a few more punches from those who didn’t make the cut in his latest release, celebrating Australia’s greatest ever boardriders. I may poke fun at him for not being able to turn his neck after endless hours paddling, but ever since reading his Life of Brine column when I was hired at Noosa Today five years ago, I’ve been wondering, ‘How do I get that job where you get to write from beaches around the world?’ Little did I know, he was the editor of Tracks magazine at just 21-years-old, has written more than 40 books, and has received the Australian Surfing Hall of Fame Media Award five times. Phil was also once the editor of Playboy magazine in Australia, which he refuses to delve into, but it’s no wonder he was keen to head to the unofficial nude beach at Noosa’s A-Bay for a story after police made it a priority to hand out fines. “Free the nipple,” he chanted. (Unlike his latest book, that quote is fiction.) Back to surfing, why does Phil get to choose Australia’s Top 12 riders? “Luck of the draw, old sport, but as a lifelong surfer and archivist, historian and documentarian of it for more than 50 years, hopefully I bring some degree of perspective to the job at hand,” Phil writes in the book. “I’ve been dedicated to surf ever since I could stand up on a surfboard, but other things always got in the way, like work and family,” he laughed. “I was never a good enough surfer to make it my living. So I had to find other ways to make surfing central to my life. “I became a copy boy at a newspaper and I was granted a cadetship. I tried to juggle going to university at night and working for the paper by day but it just wasn’t working because there was no time to surf. I had to bail out on something, so I bailed out on the university course. I was a uni drop-out and from there, I kind of stumbled from newspaper journalism to surf journalism.“ At that stage, surf journalism didn’t really exist apart from a few magazines that were gaining hype. “I lied about my age to get the gig at Tracks and put it up two years,“ Phil said. “I was a bit full of myself as a young man, not like the modest chap you talk to today. I kind of went out on a limb often, my opinions weren’t always what everybody thought. 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 November, 2023

It soon became the leading surf magazine in the country. That was good for me.” Humble in his ripe old age, he told me to just look at the pictures in the book, but along with those images of attractive surfers, the words kept me flipping the pages. Growing up in Kingscliff on the Tweed Coast, I knew that everyone wanted to be Mick Fanning or Steph Gilmore, especially since her mum, Mrs Gilmore, was a teacher aide at my primary school. Who knew 20 years later, Phil would be adding them to the list of the best of the best from over 50 years of the local scene and world tour. “It’s a good way to lose friends, writing this book,” he said. “When the publisher told me it had to be just 12 surfers, I soon realised that I was going to have to leave out a whole lot of friends. Having written about surfing for over 50 years, I’ve known most of the people that feature in the book.” Along with the modern era greats, the book includes pioneers Midget Farrelly, Nat Young

and Layne Beachley, and the world champs of the ‘70s and ‘80s such as Mark Richards, Tom Carroll and Pam Burridge. It’s not all waves and sunshine for these athletes, with many of them having experienced life-altering tragedies. From rape, fatal car crashes, suicide, sexism, drug addiction, and that shark-attack seen worldwide, they’ve overcome a lot to be the immortals. “In some cases, really good surfers have come out of broken homes, and tragic childhood circumstances. Because I suppose they could escape those realities by going to the beach and making that their home away from home,” Phil said. “Alongside my wife Jackie, I dedicate the book to a guy called Bobby Brown. There were a few other good surfers where I grew up, but he was by far the best. He was my first major inspiration who I was in the water with. He died at 21 when he got glassed in a pub brawl. It was terrible.” There are more men than women in this book because it’s a fact of surfing history that gender equality didn’t always exist, Phil writes in the introduction.

“Four women just stood out head and shoulders above the others and there was no argument about who would go into the book,“ he said. “The four of them have been incredible performers, champions, and influencers for a whole generation of girls who have gotten into surfing because they’ve seen these iconic women leading the way. “Obviously part of that is the sexism that dominated for decades. It’s a shame but that’s the way history was. I think the balance in the book is right for now. But in 10 years’ time, it would definitely be six-six. We’ve already got three girls who qualified in Brazil last week for the world tour.” What does he have to say to those who didn’t make the book? “Try harder,” he joked. “No, sorry.” The Immortals of Australian Surfing by Phil Jarratt (Gelding Street Press $39.99) is available at Big W and all good bookstores. The Noosa book launch will be a Footpath Fiesta at Annie’s Books on Peregian, from 6pm on 7 December. There will be wine and cheese, and live music from Aido of the SandfFlys.

Tribute to Ned Kelly Timely film By Shell Le Vesconte In the dusty journal of country music history, Soul To Keep emerges as a blazing star in Richo Richardson’s musical constellation. This monumental track, the first single release from his album, Lonesome Cowboy, takes us on a gripping journey through the lives of outlaws, lonesome cowboys, and hearts torn asunder. Soul To Keep doesn’t just hit the mark—it shatters it, leaving an indelible mark on the listener’s soul. The song unfolds with the weight of history, sharing the tales of notorious outlaw Ned Kelly and the lingering echoes of his indomitable spirit. From the very first note, you can sense the approach of a gun-slinger, and as the music builds, the ghost of an Australian bushranger wanders into the scene. Richo Richardson’s velvety, melodic vocals become the storyteller’s voice, expertly weaving the macabre gospel of Ned Kelly’s life and legacy. His performance is enriched by the impeccable musicianship of Craig Morgan from Evertone Studios, who adds a haunting depth to this lyrical tale. The genesis of Soul To Keep is a story in itself. When Kelly Cork wrote this song, he put down his pen and said, “this one’s for Richo“, and indeed, the result is a testament to their shared artistic vision. Soul To Keep now stands proudly among Richo Richardson’s collection of homegrown hits on the Lonesome Cowboy album. This song is not merely a musical experience; it’s a journey through time, a sonic adventure through the rugged terrains of the Australian outback, and a profound exploration of the human spirit. Soul To Keep invites listeners to immerse themselves in the world of outlaws and cowboys, where the legacy of figures like Ned Kelly lives on through the power of music. In Soul To Keep, Richo Richardson has truly found his voice, and when playing live with The Home Grown Killers at his side, he delivers an unforgettable performance that captures the essence of country storytelling at its finest. This is a musical chapter and a lyrical journey that should not be missed. Maleny Hotel, 7pm, 24 November.

At a time when tensions are high in the Middle East, it’s wonderful to be able to find some common ground - a film about food. This month Slow Food Noosa presents another of its highly-popular nights of culinary delights accompanied by a movie. This time it is Breaking Bread, in which Dr Nof Atamna-Ismaeel - the first Muslim Arab to win Israel’s MasterChef - is on a quest to make social change through food. And so, she founded the A-sham Arabic Food Festival, where pairs of Arab and Jewish chefs collaborate on exotic dishes. This is a film about hope, synergy and mouthwatering fare. Breaking Bread illustrates what happens when people focus on the person, rather than the religion; on the public, rather than the politicians. Slow Food Noosa guest chef Joshua Smallwood of Noosa Cartel has put together a menu reflecting the film and utilising local produce where possible. The menu may change slightly depending on seasonal availability of produce. Mains will be shared style combing: Breads – Challah and Taboon (pita bread). Mixed marinated olives/hummus / baba ganoush. Shirazi salad with Noosa Red tomatoes and Woombye Cheese fetta. Eastwell Farms beef kofta, tahini yoghurt, zaatar. Maqluba (upside down Palestinian rice) with Piggy in the Middle chicken, tomato, peppers. Dessert will be Malabi milk puddings, with Cooloola Berries strawberries, rosewater and pistachios. The film with food night will be held at Pomona’s Majestic Theatre on Friday 17 November, 6-10pm. For tickets, contact Majestic Theatre Pomona.

Richo Richardson will perform Soul to Keep at the Maleny Hotel on 24 November.

Pacific Chambers Players bring their Baroque Brilliance By Jim Fagan It’s like a birthday, Halloween, even Christmas. It only comes once a year but when it does it is guaranteed to “baroque” Cooroy! “It” is The Pacific Chamber Players’ annual Baroque Brilliance concert at the Memorial Hall and, according to the group’s spokesperson, Janet Brewer, the concert this month will be as “entertaining as anything in previous years”. Janet plays harpsichord in the nine-strong Players and told Noosa Today the music of five great baroque composers from the 17th and 18th century would be featured. “The programme will open with a quirky Overture by Czech composer Jan Dismas Zelenka, followed by a lyrical Trio Sonata from 17th century Italian baroque composer Antonio Caldara. “Our viola player Andrew Paszkowski features in George Philipp Telemann’s Viola Concerto in G and Neil Heymink (bassoon) in Telemann’s Bassoon Sonata in F minor.” She said any program was never complete without the toe-tapping Italian Antonio Vivaldi and the brilliance of JS Bach. She said the Vivaldi was Concerto RV103 for flute, oboe and bassoon. “It is unusual in that it was written just for these three instruments, i.e., without harpsichord. The work is quite rhythmic and highlights each instrument’s qualities. “We are playing two works by Johann Sebastian Bach: the famous Brandenburg Concerto No 4, featuring two flutes. Our flautists are mother and daughter team Sharelle and Jazmyn Guest. Sharelle has been with us since 2005. “The other work is Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C Minor. As with Bach’s instrumental works,

Andrew Paszkowski (viola), Christy Dykes (clarinet), Anna Moores (violin), Sue Hunkin (oboe), Janet Brewer (harpsichord), Carolyn Moore (horn), Neil Heymink (bassoon), Franziska Frank (cello), Nik Davey (bass). they draw on the player and listener’s emotions. They also require a virtuosic brilliance from the soloists. Soloists are Sue Hunkin

(oboe) and Anna Moores (violin).” Pacific Chamber Players, Cooroy Memorial Hall. 2.30pm Sunday, November 19. $33 adult, $30

concession and $10 school student. Available online at pacificchamberplayers.com or cash at the door. Friday, 10 November, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 41

Mary River Bass booming With the wind still at that annoying 10-15 knots for most of last week the offshore situation was pretty quiet, a few Jet Ski anglers managed to get out and picked up some nice long tail tuna. With hopefully better conditions this weekend anglers will be queued up at the boat ramp ready to hit the water. Mackerel have been on everyone’s mind. I am sure there will be plenty on offer on the closer reef with all the bait that is around at the moment. Keep an eye on the sounder and look for those deeper bait schools, try fishing a live bait on a light enough sinker to slowly get the bait to the bottom. Try a snelled rig of 5/0 hooks with a small wire bit leader to help with those bit offs. Tuna numbers will also be strong with plenty of smaller schools around the closer reefs. Smaller slugs around the 20 to 40 gram mark have been working well, cast to the edges of the schools let it sink a little then retrieve at a steady pace. For those that love bouncing the bottom plenty of reef species will be on offer and with the new Moon next Monday this weekend will be the ideal time to hit the water. With the afternoon tide the bigger of the two, you will have to make sure you have enough weight on board to make sure you can get to the bottom. On the rivers, with the breezes getting up during the day most anglers have been making an early start. For those fishing the run-in tide the trevally have been plentiful with some nice GT, big eye and golden taken. Fast moving plastics, stick baits and smaller micro jigs have been working well. Casting at fish feeding on the surface has

Aiden with a bass. been the most productive. For the bait anglers’ smaller pilchards, whitebait and prawns have been the go. Tin Can/Rainbow area has been good for some nice flathead taken on plastics, trolled lures, and live baits. Fishing the banks and drop offs on the run

out tide has been the most productive. Plenty of whiting have been on the chew with most fish taken on the run in, fish are moving onto the flats feeding on yabbies and soldier crabs. Casting smaller popper around the flats is an exciting way to target these fish, using very

light braids, mono leaders and surfaces lures like the Bassday Sugapens has seen some great fish captures. Crab numbers are also up with a bit of fresh water in the systems after the recent rains. Pot placement is important, making sure you look for those more saline deeper holes should see you come up with some nice crabs. On the beach there are some great gutters after the swells. Dart are in great numbers and there are even some good sized ones amongst them. Worms seem to be the number one bait for the dart and you may also pick up a whiting or two. There are some jewfish being taken at night with the new moon most fish being under legal size, these fish will be coming into the gutter to feed on the bait that has been flushed out with the bigger swells. In the Mary River things are really firing, anglers have reported good numbers of bass both up and down river from the weir. Sooties are also plentiful with most fish holding downstream. Tilapia unfortunately have seemed to increase with reports of large numbers of them around the weir, Kid Bridge and down stream towards Bells Bridge. Remember these fish are deemed a pest and have to be disposed of and not returned to the river.

Thunder in strong position By Randall Woodley After Day 1 of their two-day matches, four of the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder club’s senior teams are in good positions to win their matches next Saturday. FIRST GRADE: The team was at home to play the Caloundra Lighthouses and winning the toss elected to bowl first to give them the best chance of an outright win. Caloundra got off to a flyer with a returning Scorcher batsman riding his luck and giving a couple of tough chances. He was eventually out for 91. Ben Laughlin and Michael Eckard combined to take three wickets early before the aggression continued and Caloundra scoring 140 off the first 30 overs. Jarrod Officer made the breakthrough and then Zac Murray and Laughlin saw blood in the water taking 4-10 to see Caloundra slip to 7-150 at Lunch. Talon Reichert and Murray got the job done after lunch bowling very well to see Caloundra all out for 176 in friendly batting conditions. Thunder had 37 overs to bat and decided to chase the score during the rest of the afternoon. Ben Laughlin came out and smacked 20 off the first 2 overs to get things underway and an opening partnership of 60 off a dozen overs saw the scoreboard ticking over. The other opener, Sam Baker was looking good again but it was the Benny Laughlin show, dispatching balls into the bush over cover and mid-off; it was awesome to watch. Ben fell for 85 off 56 balls in a decelerating innings and if you can believe it they had placed 6 fielders on the rope boundary. Andy Batten (26*) and Andrew Kratzmann (23) ensured that Thunder passed their score to secure points on Day 1, taking a 10 run lead into Day 2. There is a pretty good chance that Thunder will declare and commence bowling at the start next Saturday chasing outright points. SECOND GRADE: The side travelled to Caloundra to take on the Lighthouses. Showing up to a pitch as hard and flat, the skipper won the toss and decided to bat. Oliver Wilson and Tristan Griffin opened up proceedings and after losing Ollie in the 9th over, Billy LloydGreen and Griffin (47) got to work patiently batting together for 29 overs, putting away the loose balls as they came. Griffin was eventually out for 47 after a 59-run partnership with Lloyd-Green. After tea, Billy ramped up his scoring rate, batting with poise and smarts as wickets fell around him. He was treating his team mates to a compelling demo on how to build an innings. Next to bat was Luke Smalley who took their spinner to the cleaners as he blasted multiple

Eleven dads and eleven sons who all play cricket together for the Tewantin-Noosa Cricket Club on Saturdays. Could this be a record? Picture: MATT MAYO 6s and 4s to increase the score from 6-149 to 7-205 in rapid time to make an important 37 off 23 balls. Billy continued on his merry way to post a brilliant 83 n.o. Unfortunately Billy is unavailable next week so replacement Tyron De Kauwe will face first ball on Saturday in his stead. Billy and Finn Mayo saw Thunder through to stumps at 8-217 in an encouraging day of batting. GRADE THREE: The team’s match against Yandina is evenly poised after completion of Day 1. Tewantin-Noosa batted first and made 136 runs, well below what they had hoped for. Top scorers were Luke Anstey 44 and Daniel Cooke 27. At stumps the Pioneers were 4-56 with veteran Mike Thomson taking 3 of the wickets. GRADE FOUR: Fallon Solutions Div 4 team were at Dale Officer Oval playing the Coolum Sharks. Winning the toss they decided to have a bat. Some solid double figure starts from Jeremy Holland (25), Ben Blackwell (12), Aedan Mayo (13), Mark Brady (29) and Alek Dillewaard (25) saw the team at 6-114. Jackson Holland (67) and Matt Mayo (33) then put together an 83-run partnership and along with a brilliant 10th wicket partnership of 43 between

Jackson and Brian Weychardt (22*) saw Thunder all out for 243. An outstanding effort from Jackson when his team needed it most. With 25 mins at the opposition Bob McGhee picked up one of the Coolum openers to see them to stumps at 1-18. Both of these teams are made up of a few father/son combos (with some proud mums watching on) which made for a competitive and fun day of cricket played in the right spirit. UNDER 17S: The boys were against Caboolture at home (two-day match) and were pumped and ready to play. Winning the toss and batting first they started somewhat shakily losing wickets before things settled down. The mid to lower order picked up the pace with some good attacking cricket. Thunder’s top two scorers were Bailey Hozier with 54 with some great shots and Morgan Avery 26 not out. Other contributors were Tom Longhurst 21 and Max Joyce 23. It was a really good team effort today that saw the team share the runs around and bat out the whole 55 overs. They finished their innings on 9-203. UNDER 15As: V Caloundra Day 1. Caloundra elected to bat but with some early excel-

lent bowling Tewantin-Noosa had them 3-13. A couple of middle order partnerships saw Caloundra all out for 101. Rory Ramsden was the best of the bowlers taking 4-5 with Aedan Mayo 2-14. Emile Lewis, Jackson Holland and Eddie Weychardt picked up a wicket each. Thunder started well to be 0-26 but a collapse saw them finish on 5-49 at stumps. With some good batting depth to come, hopefully the team can get the job done next week. UNDER 13 Thunder came up against good opponents in Coolum who taught the lads a lesson. Thunder bowled well to restrict them to 121 but they bowled and fielded better restricting TNT boys to 101 off their 30 overs. WOMENS: The women played a Sunday afternoon game against Maroochydore. They were after small improvements from everyone, and that is what they got. They restricted the strong Swan’s batters to 112 runs with four of the Thunder girls picking up wickets. In reply they were able to threaten the Swan’s score but fell short at 7 for 102. Top scorers were T. Owens with 26 and Tracey Diprose 19. A big all-round improvement from the girls.

Free family-friendly Christmas ballet show at Eumundi Dancers aged from late 40s to early 80s will share their passion for ballet when they perform the Christmas Waltz at Eumundi Christmas Extravaganza on Sunday 3 December. “I’m so excited for my dancers to be on stage. It will be their first performance,“ said Angelika Burroughs, former ballerina from Ukraine and founder of FitBarre Noosa. “The dancers are very nervous already practicing their steps. It’s different to perform when you’re in your 20s let alone when you’re in your 60s, 70s, 80s. “Memory is not as flexible and it takes longer to memorise dance steps so they have to work harder.“ But ballet is not only keeps your body looking young, but keeps your brain young. Looking at these amazing dancers it’s hard to believe some are aged in their 70s and 80s. “Their passion and love for ballet makes them ageless,“ Angelika said. “Leon Daulnais, almost 83, dances solo with grace and sparkle in his eyes. He is so young in his ballet tights and lightens up the whole studio with his cheeky smile and young energy. “Come to the show and support these amazing dancers. You will be pleasantly surprised watching them gracefully waltzing on Tchaikovsky music.“ To see them please check some recent reels of our rehearsals on FitBarre Facebook

Thanking those who give At a time such as this, when a large percentage of our athletes from around the country, gather to compete in and celebrate the 40th occasion of the famous Noosa Tri, it is only right that we should acknowledge, thank and remember, not only those who have given their time to provide the aspect, that enables the athletes to compete in safety, but also the few, who back in time, worked to make this great event a reality. Both categories of men have at some time carried the proud title of Surf Lifesaver. Perhaps the proudest of them all was the man himself, Garth Prowd, the man who for many long years was --the Noosa Tri And by his side was Brian Clancy. Both at some time were members of the Noosa Surf Club. Quiet men whose outstanding contribution, is the stuff that legions are made of. Sunday, as I walked through possibly the biggest crowd of all time, the words of the late Garth Prowd drifted clearly through my mind. “Laney, if we had the right men running this town it could be the sporting capital of Australia.” Now after several years of reporting on the successful achievements of our local athletes, at state, national and international level, the words are there to be noted, and happy to say that the success comes from just not one or two sports, but several. Within our sporting community the successful vehicles of sport have been, just to name a few, athletics, kayaking, jiu jitsu, karate, outrigger, amateur boxing, surf lifesavers and now pickleball. Add to this there is of course the often- forgotten coaches.

Then in the world of surf lifesaving, Woogie Marsh, Wes and Jade Berg nippers, Sharlene Kelly and Darren Mercer, Nutri Grain and Coolangatta Gold. Already medals have been won at state, national and international level. Unfortunately, in many cases achievers remain unknown, simply because the media show no interest in their chosen sport, or to be more brutal, they don’t wear football boots. But also living quietly on the fringe, are those who have been there and achieve it all at international level. Now in their twilight years they don’t, and did not, hesitate to contribute to the sporting community. Dawn Fraser and the late Dave Power, always there. As in previous years, the Noosa Heads SLSC once again responded to the call to provide water safety teams, as did others needed in the various street jobs such as recorders and registration. With regards to the important job of water safety, the club supplied 4 IRBs, (Inflatable Rescue Boats) each with a crew of two, driver and crewie and 28 water safety people. It is these people that paddle the rescue boards: and are positioned at various stages along the swim course. The swim was conducted in choppy conditions and an estimated 7500 swimmers attempting the course, (there were 25-30 extractions performed) kept the board people fully 50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 November, 2023

Also, the radio tower was manned by patrolmen, equipped with binoculars and radios, thus ensuring that all aspects of the swim were, at all times covered. For the water safety people, it is a heavy day with the club captain Roger Aspinall, reporting for duty at 4am and being on until approximately 1pm. As for the crowds, despite the size they were well behaved. It is interesting to note that some of the rescue board volunteers were only 15-year-old girls: and for some it was their first-ever event. The 40th year celebrations and massive crowds. Definitely a day to remember. Pickleball Last Sunday for the Noosa Pickleball club will definitely be a day to remember. On this occasion the inaugural inter-club tournament between the Noosa club and the Sunshine Coast Pickleball club, was held at the Caloundra indoor sports Stadium. According to a very proud club President Ron Gatliff, ‘’A great fun filled competitive day, was enjoyed by all members who participated.’’ The tournament which attracted over 100 players, resulted in a close win for the Sunshine Coast club. Most pleasing aspect was the fact that the standard of play was exceptional and coupled with this, was the great camaraderie shown between the two teams. This event will only continue to grow and become important on the Noosa’s club calendar. The Sunshine Coast organisers earned a very big thank you for inviting the visitors to a social event afterwards. “Pickleball was the real winner and this only serves to tell all that the game is continuing to grow rapidly,” said the Noosa President. Over the last two months the Noosa club has seen a 20 per cent increase in membership. Now the game is being played at the Noosa leisure Centre, the Noosa Tennis Centre, the Olive Donaldson pavilion in Tewantin and the

Noosaville Primary School. All this indicates that the club’s administration, their coaching panel and support group must be doing a lot of things right: so, a big well done to all involved. This event, being the inaugural one and being successful, it can only be a massive step forward for both the Sunshine Coast and the Noosa clubs. Those interested in joining the club are invited to email, info@Noosapickleball.com and join in the fun. Athletics For the Noosa Athletics training squad, last week’s Queensland All Schools Championships, which were held in Brisbane was yet another success. Conducted over a period of four days, starting on the Thursday and going through till Sunday, the squad of 12 members competed in a variety of events, achieving many outstanding results. Head Coach Mick Hooper said, “We had a lot of PBs (Personal Best performances) as well as top 10 achievement: picking up seven medals and nine Australian championship qualification standards. The school season training squad, has been hard at it since early May and all those sessions definitely paid off for these dedicated athletes.” Gold medals were won by Taya Clayton U14 80m hurdles, Marlon Andrews U14 100m hurdles, Silver won by Dianne Ladewig U18 100m hurdles, Bronze to Luca Gerrard U15 triple jump and long jump, Eli Melina 3000m race walk and Mailee Scott-Jones U18 200m. ‘’I am very proud of all our athletes,” said coach Hooper. “They stood up tall against the best athletes in Queensland over a windy and rainy four days of competition.’’ Sunshine Beach Once again, Sunshine Beach SLSC has continued to dominate with an outstanding performance at the Century 21 Maroochydore Carni-

val on Saturday. At the conclusion of Saturdays water events, Sunshine was sitting second in the overall points score behind host club Maroochydore, the first time the club has ranked 2nd in the last decade. The Sunshine club cap of red yellow and black were continually crossing the line in podium positions across all age groups. Regarding their continual improvements and success, Head Coach Wes Berg said, “The surf sports program continues to evolve with an exceptional bunch of kids, with the focus on having a really good time. Its has been an amazing pre- season, the squad has worked hard together: and enjoying turning up and challenging themselves at carnivals.” Some outstanding performances came from; Billie Berg placing in every event she entered winning 4 gold and 2 silver medals. Under 12 Liam Wright 4 gold medals,U13 Miller-May Berg winning the board race and Mils Jones U13 gold in the flags. Then in the surf race and iron events it was a double for Sunshine, when Jake Bower won both the surf race and the iron and u15 Niamh Arthur did exactly the same also winning the surf and the iron. “It’s a great club to be part of. The support network is what make it all come together. A great group of parents and an awesome club, behind the surf sports program.” “Wes and I are enjoying being part of a wonderful club and coaching together,” says (wife and coach) Jade Berg. The beach team solidified the performance with great results across the sand. Outstanding was Mila Jones, undefeated this season in the U13 Beach Flags. In the team events it was 1st U11 Females, Cameron Relay, Board Relay and Surf Teams. Male board relay U12 1st, Male U14 Cameron Relay and Board Relay 1st and U15 Female surf team 1st.

Arcadia lineup.

Winter swell.

Stoke is back in Ukraine When I think back on the numerous quirky surfs I’ve enjoyed in the most unlikely parts of Europe – from Captain Cook’s left at Staithes on the Yorkshire coast, to Capo Mannu in Sardinia in the middle of the Med, to a fun beach break just down the road from the Leaning Tower of Pisa – I have to say that Ukraine doesn’t figure. Not even in peacetime, although the Crimean Peninsula is said to be warm and appealing in summer. But, as I reported in this space early last year when the appalling war began, Ukraine has a surviving, if not thriving surf culture, a national surfing federation and a bunch of quite reasonable surf breaks, the best of them located near the southern port of Odesa, the country’s third largest city, tucked into the north-western corner of the short-fetch Black Sea. The relatively balmy summer climate – air 23 degrees, water 20 – has been attracting seaside holidaymakers for generations, and in the past decade or so, surfers have discovered that when wind and tide are in harmony, Odesa’s Arcadia Beach and its adjacent piers can produce reasonable quality waves. As SurferToday.com noted: “Located in a small southeast-facing bay, the beach break occasionally morphs into a point break thanks to the several piers built in the area. The Ukrainian holiday and health resort channels low-to-medium-period wind swells, creating average, shoulder-high waves. It is the go-to location for those who want to have fun on a shortboard, longboard, bodyboard, and for beginner surfers.” But when the surfers of Odesa woke to sounds of missiles and bombs on the morning of 24 February 2022, The Inertia website reflected last week, “it became clear that their world had changed forever. They would now have to live in a state of war. When the local surfers were enjoying their chilly winter sessions in early 2022, little did they know they wouldn’t be able to surf again for well over a year”. But after testing the waters (so to speak) a couple of times over the summer, Odesa local and president of the Ukrainian Surfing Federation Vasiliy Kordysh and a handful of mates tracked the arrival of an early winter swell last week, decided enough was enough and paddled out. As The Intertia explained: “While Ukrainians still live with the fear of an attack, the city of Odesa has attempted to give some sense of normalcy back to its citizens. This [past] summer the municipality opened up the city’s shoreline for leisure. Wary of stray sea mines and what the Ukrainian military would think of them riding waves, the surfers were hesitant to return to their local surf spots. But last week when a solid six-foot swell was forecast,

Vasiliy Kordysh lines up an Arcadian barrel last week. five brave souls paddled out at Odesa’s Arcadia Beach.” Vasiliy told The Inertia that surfing had been banned by the military for fear of missile barrages and stray sea mines, but he had snuck in a session on a longboard at a secret break along the coast during the summer without incident. “I was thinking it must be fine, but I also understood that when big waves come, mines can possibly be swept in, too. “Actually, during our session a mine washed up on the shore just 30 kilometres away. It reminded us how real that is. It’s still possible. We were a little bit nervous, but we didn’t think much about it.” So how was the long-awaited session? “It was amazing. For some moments I felt like the war wasn’t happening. It was like [the war was] a bad dream and everything was like it was before. The waves were good, but as we surfed we could see some Ukrainian warships cruising around in the background. That brings you back to reality. But overall, I was so stoked!” NWSR Community Surf Awards After an international campaign of more than six years, the Noosa World Surfing Reserve became the 10th World Surfing Reserve in 2020, covering the world class point and beach breaks from the river mouth to

PLENTY OF BLUE SKY AT SUNSHINE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY BRIGHT blue like a cloudless sky - that summed up the mood at the auction of Azure in Sunshine Beach on Saturday. The house at 26 McAnally Drive, with its explosive 180-degree views sweeping the Coral Sea and inspiring Chris Clout design, lived up to its name. There was standing room only at the auction as multiple bidders fought for the keys to one of most admired houses in Sunshine Beach. Marketed by Tom Offermann Real Estate, bidding started at $10 million and quickly reached $13.5 million before the gavel fell to a Melbourne family. Tom Offermann and his daughter Rebekah were co-listers and naturally elated for the sellers, as the house shattered the previous record for a non-beachfront Sunshine Beach property by an impressive margin of more than $4 million. It was the culmination of a marketing campaign that generated national as well as global interest, and it was not just thousands or 10s of thousands who tuned in, it was hundreds of thousands. “The response was phenomenal,” Tom Offermann said. “However, in the end most of the potential buyers were existing customers, who we have known for years. “You can imagine how many are on our data base after 30 years of leading the market in Noosa.’’ Inspired by nature, the five-bedroom, fourbathroom residence is positioned on a high sand dune and enjoys unsurpassed views even from day beds floating on the mosaictiled infinity pool. The home features Italian Carrara marble floors, a ’floating’ marble staircase, Italian blown glass tear-drop chandelier, bespoke cabinetry and eco fireplace.

The auction saw 10 registered bidders with Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa. In a commanding position with an iconic hip roof and white picket fence, the house featured rear lane access. “The auction went really well,’’ Jeanette said. “Most bidders were active. From a $500,000 start bidding went quickly to 700, 800 and then $1m until, after 17 bids, it sold at $1.550m. Interest was mostly local, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, with the eventual buyer looking to come off acreage and wanting to be in town. “The buyer knows people in the vicinity,’’ Jeanette said, “and noticed the auction on the Thursday then made it happen within 24 hours. “It’s a lovely story.

ON THE COVER

WORLD CLASS LITTLE COVE IMAGINE the privilege of building a oneoff show stopping masterpiece, inspired by evocative avantgarde architecture, surrounded by world-class natural assets, in the much-coveted absolute front row of exclusive Little Cove, mere footsteps to sand and surf breaks, and a few minutes more to sophisticated Hastings Street. It is impossible not to be impressed by the moderately elevated 589m2 cleared site with a substantial 16.6-metre frontage to Alderly Terrace, and medium density zoning. Many argue given its location and numerous virtues, this is one of the most valuable single allotments currently available in the region. “Everyone who has driven around Little Cove over the past decade, has noticed 38 Alderley Terrace,” comments agency principal Tom Offermann, “because it stands out like the proverbial sore thumb as the only vacant land in the front row. It is after-all where dreams begin, whether building a luxury home or apartments amongst stunning and exclusive surrounds. “Over the years, many were under the impression they were the first to discover this unique slice of paradise in millionaire’s row, and quick as a flash excitedly made contact, wishing/hoping to purchase it. “The recently erected sale sign has sparked a race amongst seriously interested parties keen to secure this rarity. Blue-chip, gold brick, bees knees or whichever way you describe it, for lovers of the Noosa National Park, Little Cove Beach and Hastings Street, this opportunity is a

tour de force.” Consider the possibilities. From the street, imagine an elevated trophy-like build amongst the trees, embracing the full width of the land which is one of only 15 sites opposite Little Cove Beach and is currently one of only four vacant sites left in Little Cove, which has a total 107 residential sites. If a residence was built, it would be one of only four with a northerly aspect to Laguna Bay; it is the last, yes last vacant site in Little Cove with medium density zoning; and building two or three apartments plus underground parking come with building restrictions, subject to Noosa Council approval. Expect wide filtered views of Laguna Bay from ground level, also beyond to the Coloured Sands from the upper levels. “What an enviable second-to-none location”, says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Lauren Chen. “It could be the perfect base for surfers who want to be close to those famous Noosa National Park surf breaks, explore the coastal and inland tracks, take advantage of sheltered beaches yet be so close to Little Cove Beach, while along the boardwalk is Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street, with enticing boutiques and art galleries, and nationally known restaurants, bars and beachside eateries. “Sun-drenched year-round, there is no place like Noosa Heads, and this truly is an extraordinary fortuitous prospect in Little Cove, known as a jewel on Australia’s eastern seaboard.” ●

SEASIDE SUNSHINE BEACH EXUDES COOL CHARM AND SUNNY NATURE DISCOVER a quintessential easy-breezy design for the good life and proximity to the beach, by award-winning architect David Teeland. Meshed with uber glam features it exudes cool charm as well as a sunny disposition, has a oceanic outlook centred around savvy indoor-outdoor spaces for all seasons, and is certainly exciting. A striking vine-covered granite-paved entry way, uses a raw palette of materials, and a pretty garden with fragrant murraya, ferns and a potted water feature, arouse expectations. Open the bespoke timberframed glass statement door and the reasons become obvious. Look beyond the hallway where the residence indulges definitive avantgarde flair, a muted palette and modernist furniture. There is extensive use of glass via banks of large panes and louvres, also lofty ceiling heights. Disappearing doors reveal an expansive courtyard on the ocean side and a terrace surrounding a shimmering blue pool on the northern side of the super-generous living and dining spaces with custom cabinetry and hideaway wine cellar. Natural light is maximised and seemingly shadow dances on the endless polished concrete flooring, whilst melding effortlessly with the nucleus of the residence. Continuing the sense of drama and edgy design functionality, is a long galley-style kitchen with white Corian-topped cabinetry, window pane splashback, and solid honeyhued timber-topped island bench/sides of the breakfast bar. Appliances including two ovens and a gas cooktop are top of the pops, as is a luxe five-light designer pendant. Adjacent is a laundry/powder room and door to the side pathway where an outdoor shower for returning beachgoers is located. What a wonderful surprise awaits upstairs with its beautiful timber flooring. The north-east wing is totally and seriously devoted to a suite where the king bedroom has a daybed to listen to the waves breaking onto Sunshine Beach, the walkin robe/dressing room would suit any fashionista and the mega-sized ensuite has a free-standing rectangular bath to soak away the blues and drink in the everchanging view of the Coral Sea. The media/leisure space has generous storage and an integrated fridge; two bedrooms in the west wing have built-in robes; there are two bathrooms; and a fourth bedroom/guest room downstairs has a bathroom adjacent plus a courtyard. All four bathrooms have been custom designed with absolute high-end white cabinetry, basin(s) and timber features;

floor-to-ceiling white hexagon mosaic tiles; Italian mocha floor tiles; tapware and drencher shower heads; and Japanese Toto toilets. Next to the staircase is a door to the double garage. “Sand between the toes is 2-minutes away or equivalent to one house block back from the beachfront,” extols Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Rebekah Offermann and Michael McComas. “There’s simply nothing like living the good life in Sunshine Beach, officially recognised as the second most popular suburb in Australia. “Enjoy the amenable sub-tropical climate, also anonymity at the beach or nearby vibrant Sunshine Beach village, with its award-winning eateries, and where the local cafe society preserve the ‘barefoot if you like’ attitude.”
