Olympic dreams By Phil Jarratt

The exciting format of beach sprint rowing, part of the Coastal Rowing discipline, will make its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles Games in 2028, paving the way for Noosa to emerge as the frontrunner to host the event at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. Following the International Olympic Committee’s announcement last month, an excited Sarah Cook, chief executive officer of Rowing Australia, emailed her delight to rowing officials around Australia, noting that, “Collectively we have been working together to … build this discipline in Australia … and Rowing Australia is well positioned to continue … the

growth and development nationally.” But if anyone could match Ms Cook’s excitement over this hard-won Olympic inclusion, it would have been Peter Watson, secretary of Coastal Rowing Noosa, one of just two official coastal rowing clubs in Australia, and an acknowledged leader in promoting the fast-growing discipline, with a successful 2022 hosting of the Australian championships. Peter told Noosa Today: “What’s going to be required to get Noosa up as the venue in 2032 is a good marketing campaign from Rowing Australia, Rowing Qld and from Noosa itself. I think if we combine we can present a compelling campaign, and time is on our side. We have nine years to keep building our sport.”

As the IOC noted in its October announcement: “The inclusion of Beach Sprint Rowing in the 2028 Olympic Games programme is the outcome of a decade-long development of Coastal Rowing with the active support of our 159 members and rowing communities across the world. World Rowing has embarked on an ambitious, global growth strategy for the discipline, underpinned by increased investments across geographies and participation in highprofile multisport events. “In 2023, Beach Sprint Rowing was featured at the World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals in Barletta, Italy, after being part of the Mediterranean Beach Games in Greece. “The format will also be part of the 2026

Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal and the 2026 Commonwealth Games, in addition to other high-profile Continental multisport games and World Championships taking place every year. That global growth strategy will continue with the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.” In other words, everyone from the IOC down has recognised that coastal rowing, and particularly its marquee event, the beach sprint, is the sexy young sibling of traditional rowing disciplines which has the potential to bring surf life saving with it into the broad church of Olympic open water events, alongside recent additions like surfing.

Art tribute to parrot Work on the final stage of the Rufous Street Precinct at Peregian Beach will commence shortly, with a new public artwork taking shape in front of the Peregian Beach Community House. A selection committee chose local artist Tia Carrigan of This Bird Florist and Creative Studio with her proposal Grounded, which draws inspiration from the vulnerable species, the Eastern Ground Parrot, a secretive ground dwelling bird seldom seen. “I’m so grateful to be managing this project and bringing to life my ideas for a colourful and interactive ground mural in the Peregian community,” Ms Carrigan said. The ground parrot’s stretch of habitat along the east coast includes the Peregian Beach area. “This is a fantastic artwork that the selection committee has chosen,” Noosa Council’s Arts and Culture Manager, Paul Brinkman, said. “As an interactive and engaging piece that reflects the fauna and flora of the area, it will do so much for the space.” The new public artwork, in the greenspace in front of the Peregian Beach Community House, will complement the sculpted gardens, play area, footpaths and an open grassed community space.

A browse of community social media Facebook sites just about any day will reveal posts from people looking for somewhere to rent in Noosa. It’s no secret over the past few years property prices here have skyrocketed, interest rate rises have driven up mortgage repayments and rents have gone up in leaps and bounds with the median rent for a one bedroom unit $550, two bedroom $620 and three bedroom unit $820 per week. According to the Rental Affordability Index released this week by National Shelter, the Brotherhood of St. Laurence, SGS Economics and Planning, and Beyond Bank regional Queensland is the most unaffordable place in Australia to rent. The index, which cross references median rents with average incomes, shows the median regional Queensland rental at $553 a week costs 30 per cent of the average annual rental household income of $96,033. This has the biggest impact on lowincome households. A single person on JobSeeker would have to spend 98 per cent of their income to rent a median one-bedroom home and it would cost a single pensioner 59 per cent of their income. The least affordable suburb in regional Queensland is Eumundi where a median rental of $1050 week costs 58 per cent of the average regional Queensland rental household income and Tewantin, Cooroy, and Noosa Heads have all been classified as severely unaffordable. SGS economics principal Ellen Witte said in the past it was primarily an issues that was urgent in the big cities, but we now see that in all regional areas. Migration away from capital cities has put increased pressure on regional areas, she said. “The main takeaway really is it’s now a national problem.”

Springs hotel halts again An application by GH Australia to develop a $50 million, 106-room hotel on land within Noosa Springs has again been halted by the applicant during Noosa Council’s decision process. At its general committee meeting on Monday, councillors announced that the applicant had made a change to the application which prevented them from dealing with the matter. The application, an initiative of GH Australia, the Australian arm of Hong Kong property and development firm, Golden Horse Group and owner of Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort, had proposed the construction of a fivestar hotel spanning five buildings of two and three storeys, and featuring a two-level lagoon style swimming pool. A report for the initial application was presented to council at the planning and environment committee on 11 July which raised a range of issues including the site’s split zoning, the potential odour impacts of the nearby sewage treatment plant, bushfire risk, koala habitat, carparking and built form. At the time council staff recommended the application be approved, but councillors voted to refuse the application at council’s general committee meeting on 17 July. On 19 July the applicant withdrew the application, stopping the decision-making period until 29 September. As this was done prior to the ordinary meeting of 20 July, council was not able to finalise a decision on the application. The decision-making period recommenced on 29 September. In their report this month council staff said the applicant had not amended the layout of

Artists impression of the proposed hotel at Noosa Springs. the proposed development but had provided several written submissions which included an analysis of the submissions made during the notification period, a letter from a solicitor reviewing the proposed grounds of refusal, and a further letter from the applicant’s planning consultant seeking to justify grounds to support the development.

The matter was referred without debate from council’s planning and environment committee meeting last week to its general meeting this week. Council staff again recommended the approval of the application, further recommending the deletion of condition 13, which re-

quired guests to be advised of the potential for odour from the sewage treatment plant. Staff said the grounds of refusal proposed at the general committee on July 17 had been reviewed by a planning solicitor and updated grounds of refusal were included in their report this month.

Bus espresso ‘too successful’ and braced to move on By Margie Maccoll Sitting among the trees in a rural setting to sip coffee and socialise has proven so popular at Cooroy’s Bus Espresso cafe it has attracted neighbourhood complaints about traffic, road safety and amenity and now looks set to lose its approval to trade as a food and drink outlet. About 18 months ago Noosa councillors were unanimous in backing the continued operation of the roadside stall which had grown into a food and drink outlet, enabling the operator time to apply for the appropriate permit to continue serving coffee at its onsite dining area. At the time, the application sparked discussion on the value of small scale rural businesses to the community and tourism as well as the limitations in the planning scheme to enable a path of growth for small scale rural produce and creative industries that do not adversely impact the region. Rob Noy submitted an application to council to retrospectively approve his Bus Stop Espresso that serves his own and locally

Rob Noy at his Bus Stop Espresso with employee Maya in 2022. Picture: ROB MACCOLL sourced food and beverages from a 1948 Victorian omnibus at 201 Mary River Road, Cooroy. The stall sells honey and eggs, produced

on his property, fruit, vegetables and herbs grown on his and nearby properties, coffee processed and produced by Cooroy Coffee Roasters and had aims to expand its range, stall structure and dining opportunities. At council’s general meeting on Monday staff said a number of complaints had been received and, while they were supportive of the roadside stall structure, they were not supportive of the food and drink outlet. Staff said a food and drink outlet was more suitable for an urban location, not a rural area. It was outside the urban boundary, had insufficient car parks and, being located on a 80km/hr road, raised safety concerns with cars pulling in and out and parking on road verges, they said. Cr Frank Wilkie raised a motion authorising the chief executive officer to work with the applicant to find an appropriate location for his food and drink outlet/bus before reading out a plea from a neighbour. The neighbour wrote of her life and dream of living in a rural zone being turned upside

down by the roadside outlet which, being located opposite Cooroy dump zone, added to local traffic, increased the risk for her children crossing the road and led to customers wandering her property. Cr Tom Wegener said he felt for the neighbour but the real problem was the business was too busy because it was too successful. It’s providing a serious need, he said. “The problem is there’s not enough of these places. Bringing locally made products to a place to sell them is something council has been striving for,“ he said. We should hammer out a lot of these issues. We haven’t really addressed them, he said. All councillors except Cr Wegener voted against approving the food and drink outlet application and a final decision on the matter will be made at council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday evening. If carried, the applicant will be advised the food and drink outlet must cease operating from the site within three months with any unapproved structures removed.

Noosa’s Olympic dreams From page 1 As World Rowing president Jean-Christophe Rolland noted at last month’s announcement: “The inclusion of Coastal Rowing at LA28, through the Beach Sprints format, is expected to be transformational for our sport in terms of global exposure, and in making an exciting form of rowing accessible to new populations. We believe Beach Sprint Rowing has the potential to enhance the Olympic programme by embracing beach culture and our shared values of universality, gender-equality and sustainability, while delivering genuine innovation in sport, broadcast and fan entertainment.” According to Noosa’s Peter Watson, finally including the coastal beach sprint in the Olympics (following a rejection for Paris 24) makes a lot of sense. “Coastal rowing has a lot of advantages for Olympic hosts because you don’t need an Olympic rowing course. You run it off the beach, and the beach sprint is an exciting event for spectators. “It starts with a sprint across the beach to the boat – a single, double or quad – then you row a slalom course 250 metres out and 250 metres back, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but if you’re going flat-out in challenging conditions, it can be pretty tricky. “The final part is a sprint back across the beach to the timer button. You get some really good rowers in this, and they learn to row between the swells and maintain that speed, and sometimes that’s very hard. If a wave catches you, it’s going to roll you, which doesn’t mean you’re done, but it generally means you’ve got further to run to the finish than the others.” Although the coastal rowing discipline has been growing quickly around the world, particularly across Europe, for more than a decade, its growth in Australia has been slower. The Noosa club, which has about 20 members, operates pretty much out of sight, out of mind, tucked behind the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, but the bigger Brisbane club, based at Redland Bay, doesn’t enjoy the ideal trifecta of river, bar and surf conditions for training that Noosa has.

Picture: SUPPLIED Peter Watson believes that Noosa has all the right elements of beach culture in place to make it the best choice for this kind of Olympic event, and he is not alone. “It will be a much more exciting event if it happens in Noosa. Locally, we have had productive discussions with Noosa Council about their ongoing support – we even got Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie out on a boat and he loved it – and Noosa surf club president Ross Fisher is also supportive.” Ross told Noosa Today: “Our surf club has a strong female and male surfboat rowing section in U17s through to U23s, so there may be an opportunity for both clubs to work together

down the track.” Noosa Today understands that a memorandum of understanding is being finalised between Rowing Australia and Surf Life Saving Australia to work jointly to maximise the potential of the coastal beach sprint event. Says Peter Watson: “The SLSA has basically looked at our sport and gone, we can do this. In the past Rowing Australia has been the only pathway to the Olympics for rowers, but this memo is about opening those doors and having surf life savers come into rowing. “Of course, the IOC will make the final decision, but we see this as a great opportunity to get the 2032 event held on the Sunshine

Peter Watson (left) and Ian Jobling toast Noosa’s chances for an olympic rowing event. Coast, and the best venue would be Noosa, with its beach ideal for a large number of spectators. Our initial thoughts are that we’d be looking at 15,000.” Noosa-based Olympic historian (and NT contributor) Ian Jobling has been following the rise of coastal rowing and the enthusiasm for it among the young. He believes the beautiful backdrop of Noosa’s beaches and rocky points will make the event compelling viewing. “And we have nine years to prepare so we can build this sport up so much now that youth will love it.”

‘Happy to be alive’ Plane flips The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew plucked two men from the ocean on Friday 10 November after the light plane they were in ditched into the sea off the Sunshine Coast. The aeromedical rescue helicopter was tasked by the Australian Maritine Safety Authority (AMSA) to the crash site, about 35 nautical miles off the Mooloolaba coast just after 9am. QAS Flight Critical Care Paramedic (CCP) Michael O’Brien said, “The report was that it was descending and not able to make it back to land and they were going to do a controlled ditching into the sea.“ “The two occupants were a 59 and 51-yearold male. They were actually in not too bad of spirits. They were giving us the thumbs up as we originally circled.“ The chopper crew first spotted the Cessna’s tail, then saw two men floating close by, one inside a small life raft, which was starting to sink, and the other clinging onto the edge of it. RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Aircrew Officer Dan King winched the rescue basket down and bought the men up into the helicopter one at a time. They were safely inside the helicopter within minutes of it arriving at the scene. “The pilot and the crew did an amazing job on this particular case,“ Michael said. “They were very excited and very happy to be alive [when they got on to the helicopter].“ RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter pilot Andrew Caton said it was crucial to locate ocean incidents as soon as possible, before they turn into a much wider and more challenging search. “We were able to launch in a short period,” Andrew Caton said. “Our response was so fast that we reached

Picture: LIFEFLIGHT the crash site within minutes of them ditching, before their aircraft had disappeared completely under water. We could still see part of the wreckage. It made them easier to locate and rescue safely. “Certainly, training and experience all come into being successfully piece together a complex rescue mission like this one.” Aircrew Officer Dan King said it was incredible to see both men were OK. “It’s not every day that you are tasked to a light plane that has confirmed it was going to ditch,” Dan said. “We knew we were going to a plane that had ditched into the ocean, but we had no idea what to expect, fortunately as we approached, we could see the men and the life raft.” The plane had left Sunshine Coast Airport

and was bound for Atlanta, with numerous planned stops on the way. It is believed the Cessna 421C began having engine problems. The pilot turned the aircraft around but when he realised they weren’t going to make it back to land, he started to dump fuel and made a call for help just minutes before ditching. A Royal Flying Doctor Service fixed wing aircraft was nearby and shadowed the stricken Cessna, keeping authorities informed as the plane went down and the rescue chopper responded. The men were airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, under the care of the Queensland Ambulance Service Flight Paramedic, for assessment but reportedly had no major injuries.

Police work to improve home security This Crime Prevention Week, Queensland Police Service is working to support the community to enhance their personal, home and business safety. Across the state, QPS officers are on the ground conducting proactive patrols, property crime operations, responding to intelligence and incidents – to enhance community safety, deter criminals and locate active property crime offenders. With the majority of property crime offences being opportunistic, Crime Prevention Week is all about supporting the public to evaluate their security and ensure they’re best placed to be protected. Crime intelligence shows the majority of criminals will move on from a property when deterred and prevented by strong security and prevention measures. Community Engagement Acting Superintendent Rob Fleischer says measures like sensor lights, good quality locks, security systems and CCTV can assist in deterring would-be thieves seeking out an easy access to a property.

“The vast majority of these criminals are opportunistic and unsophisticated, seeking out an open window or unlocked door, and will move on when those access points are secure,” Acting Superintendent Fleischer said. “Security is not the solution for preventing all offences, but putting in place crime prevention strategies will absolutely put you in the best position to protect yourself and your loved ones.” “If you ever do find yourself in the position where your home is broken into – the best thing you can do is stay in a locked room, make noise and alert the intruder to your presence and immediately call Triple Zero (000), and police will take immediate action.” District Crime Prevention Units across the state have been running community events this week, and all year, to raise awareness and educate the public on crime prevention tips – focusing on home and property crime, along with installing free anti-theft number plate screws.

A couple is lucky to be alive after a plane “cartwheeled end to end“ in a backyard when it tried to land on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. A woman in her 50s was airlifted to hospital after the light plane flown by her husband crashed near a private airstrip at Cootharaba near Noosa on Sunday. It is believed the husband, aged in his 40s, was trying to land at the grass airstrip when he lost control of the recreational aircraft, possibly due to an unexpected wind gust. “The light plane was coming into land on a private airstrip and ended up somersaulting and crashing into a tree,“ RACQ LifeFlight rescue aircrew officer Scott Reeman said in a statement. “It clipped a palm tree in a house yard while it was airborne and then cartwheeled end-to-end across the yard and clipped another tree.“ The couple was able to get out of the plane’s wreckage by the time the rescue helicopter arrived. Mr Reeman said they were “very lucky“. “I think the lady... passenger said she thought she was going to die,“ he told Nine Network. The woman was airlifted to a Sunshine Coast hospital with suspected neck, chest and abdominal injuries in a stable condition. The man suffered minor cuts. It was the third light aircraft incident rescue helicopters had attended on the Sunshine Coast in as many days. Two men were winched to safety from a sinking life raft on Friday after their light plane suffered engine failure and crashed into the sea off Mooloolaba. And a man was airlifted to hospital when he crashed his paraglider on to a beach in the Gympie region on Friday night.

Council report tick Be fire ready It’s been another 12 months of progress, hinterland bridge improvements and the delivery of legacy style projects, as highlighted in the Noosa Council 2022-2023 Annual Report. Adopted at Monday’s General Committee meeting, the report highlights council’s activities between 1 July 2022 – 30 June 2023. The report demonstrates Council’s ongoing operational resilience, amid floods, supply chain challenges and the rising costs of goods and services. Council, which maintains $1.4 billion in public assets, achieved another positive net operating result of $4.11 million which includes Council’s equity share of profit in Unitywater. Acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock said the organisation continued to meet all three of its financial sustainability ratio targets. “This is a credit to our staff because achieving all three ratio targets is something not all councils are able to achieve, particularly meeting a 90 per cent target for the asset sustainability ratio. “This ratio indicates that council is responsibly reinvesting in the renewal of its assets for the long term,” he said. Mayor Clare Stewart said she was pleased to present an annual report, which showed just how much had been accomplished. “I am immensely proud of the array of projects, services and improvements we have implemented, despite the tough conditions and ongoing external challenges,” she said. “We adopted a new Corporate Plan, finalised a Housing Strategy, delivered key infrastructure like a new roundabout for the future Tewantin Bypass and upgraded several hinterland bridges,” Cr Stewart said. She said the Tablelands Road Bridge replacement was named Queensland’s best public infrastructure by the Institute of Public

Council acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock and Mayor Clare Stewart Works Engineering Australasia. Council received three other awards in the year: a gold in the South-East Queensland Local Government Mutual Scheme Risk Excellence Awards, joint winner of the Gallery and Museum Achievement Awards for the 2021 Floating Land exhibition and Noosa’s communication team was recognised for Excellence in Local Government Communications by the Local Government Association of Queensland. There was a 20 per cent growth in Counci’s digital media audience during the 12-month reporting period. The largest growth was 29 per cent on Instagram and 25 per cent on Linkedin. Council’s customer service centre handled 47,309 calls, while 546,000 items were borrowed from Noosa Libraries in 2022-23.

Other notable achievements included the delivery of an improved mobile library van, two library kiosks were installed in the shire, council added more Voluntary Conservation Agreements and completed the partnership with Nature Conservancy on the Oyster Reef Restoration Project. Council opened the $1.68 million Cooroora Trail upgrade, supported by the Australian Government and completed work on the expansion of the Peregian Digital Hub. “I also congratulate our hardworking staff for their continued dedication and efforts in serving the community.” The full Noosa Council 2022-2023 Annual Report can be viewed online at noosa.qld.gov. au

Noosa residents are invited to attend an expert discussion hosted by residents’ association Peregian Family & Friends Inc, titled fires fought and communities saved. Association president Leigh McCready said: “Each year around this time, it pays to get prepared for the upcoming bushfire season. With the El Nino weather system likely to last until February, it is forecast to be a hot and dry summer.” “Our committee invites members and guests to join with fellow community members to hear from two local firefighters about the fires they have fought and how residents can get bushfire ready. “Hear from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Noosa First Officer Rob Frey who will describe how Noosa is getting ready for the bushfire season and his firsthand experience fighting local fires. “He will be joined by Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade First Officer and volunteer Duncan Hall-Brown who will talk to us about his experience leading a volunteer fire crew, the activities and training they complete and the likely challenges they will face through summer. “Following a brief AGM to appoint our executive committee for 2024, our firefighters will share their insight and help us to prepare for the remaining months of 2023, forecast by scientists as likely to be ‘hot and dry, particularly in the eastern states’ (Bureau of Meteorology via ABC News).” Drinks and snacks will be served at the event to be held on Tuesday 21 November from 5-6pm at Peregian Beach surf club.

Local film industry shines Plans to propel the region as a centre of artistic excellence and complement the thriving Queensland screen industry have been unveiled in a landmark report at the Sunshine Coast Screen Summit on Monday night. The highly anticipated Screen Production on the Sunshine Coast Report has been a year in the making, and outlines the strategic direction required for the region to foster growth in the screen industry. Sunshine Coast Council launched the report in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC), Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and local screen advocacy body, the Sunshine Coast Screen Collective. Mayor Mark Jamieson said the report provided goalposts to help shape the region as a creative screen hub. “This landmark report highlights our region’s diverse film locations, the wealth of talent available, and underscores the undeniable potential of the Sunshine Coast as an ideal location for screen productions which further enhances Queensland’s offering to the industry,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Beyond the economic benefits, council recognises the profound cultural advantages a thriving screen industry can bring through cross-collaboration and innovation.” The report found: The 2021 ABS Census showed there were 270 people were working in the Sunshine Coast film and television industry. Of these, 81 were film and television specialists (e.g. producers, directors, editors), 105 were other creative specialists (e.g. musicians, make-up artists) employed in the film and television industry, and 54 were support workers (e.g. accountants, carpenters). ABS data states showed a 3.2 per cent annual growth in the workforce between 2016 and 2021. There are about 115 corporate production companies based on the Sunshine Coast.

Sunny Coast Showdown winners. 2000, 22 feature films have been made · Since on the Sunshine Coast or made by Sunshine Coast based producers including 13 Summers, The Gorge, The Edge and Perfect Messy Love. UniSC Lecturer in Screen Media Dr Phoebe Macrossan co-authored the report and said the Sunshine Coast had a strong screen community. “Some of the key recommendations of the report are about supporting and growing this community through professional development, and investing in a local production support scheme that develops local screen projects for emerging practitioners making content,” Dr Macrossan said. “Exciting opportunities lie on the horizon,

including attracting increased federal and state government funding and support and the ever-expanding landscape of emerging technologies such as streaming content, digital games, plus virtual and extended reality.” QUT Professor of Film and Screen and report lead author Dr Mark Ryan said a growing number of independent feature films and short-form grassroots production occurred in the region. “There is also a group of screen workers who are very experienced, and in some cases quite senior practitioners including Daley Pearson from Ludo studios behind Bluey,” he said. President of the Sunshine Coast Screen Collective David Edgar said the screen production

numbers were at record levels. “In FY23 screen production totalled $2.439 billion in revenue for Australia and $615 million for Queensland which is growing at rate of 25 per cent year on year,” Mr Edgar said. “While these numbers are impressive, there is still plenty of opportunity to grow the revenue by making more studios available, and the Sunshine Coast is ideally suited as a location.” To help increase visibility of the Sunshine Coast’s film locations, a dynamic new online gallery was launched which feeds into Screen Queensland’s film locations gallery and the global locations hub database. The Sunshine Coast Screen Locations Gallery will become the region’s ‘shop front’ for filming locations and provide a searchable database of locations to help recruit and attract screen productions to the state. The Sunny Coast Showdown Screen Incubator and Showcase will return in 2024 with entries opening from January for local screenwriters, filmmakers and crew to produce and deliver projects and then showcase them at a community festival event in June.

Staines to run for council Local teacher and founder of Maternity Consumer Network, Alecia Staines, is thrilled to announce her candidacy for the local council elections in 2024. With a strong commitment to the community and a proven track record of leadership and advocacy, Alecia is poised to bring a fresh perspective with proven results to Noosa Shire Council. Alecia spent her early teaching career during her rural service in the border town of Goondiwindi, where she collaborated with local agricultural industry to develop a “grow your own workforce strategy” with local farmers. “This was the first of its kind in the state. What we were doing inside the school gate wasn’t necessarily transferring to the skillset farmers needed, so we all sat down at the table and developed a solution to their workforce needs, whilst also getting kids to develop a real appreciation for the agriculture sector,” Alecia said. “It was a highlight of my early teaching career, after growing up on a farm and spending school holidays driving tractors and helping my grandparents in the wool shed at shearing time.“ After becoming a mum and realising the lack of maternity services needed a spotlight, she founded the national organisation, Maternity Consumer Network. It now has 1200 members, provides hospital training for maternity staff, campaigns for better maternity services and provides strategic advice to all levels of government. “Our most recent campaign was in Queensland, where we campaigned for rural maternity services,“ Alecia said. “This was one of our most successful efforts with the Queensland Health Minister dedicating $42 million to rural maternity services this year.” Working for the community and getting the

Since moving to Noosa Shire, Alecia has grown her family and had several of her children here, who attend local schools and kindy. “We are spoilt for choice in this shire. From small schools, private and less conventional education styles, as a teacher, I am impressed,” Alecia said.

On weekends you’ll find her sitting fieldside during the rugby season watching her eldest son play for Noosa Dolphins. Alecia has spent the best part of this year talking to community and community groups about what they want for their Shire. “I believe proper community consultation needs to be done fairly and all stakeholders should have an equal voice. I will represent all sections of the community,“ she said. Meet Alecia at her upcoming campaign lunch with a side of social good, helping San-

ta’s Classy Helpers. This event will feature a panel discussion on Raising Tomorrow’s Leaders with guests: the inspirational Loraine Kenway, founder of Santa’s Classy Helpers, Llew O’Brien, Federal MP for Wide Bay, and Sophia Li, millennial and federal Senate candidate.

Gallery named as finalist Noosa Regional Gallery is thrilled to be recognised by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation in the 2023 Noosa Biosphere Awards as a finalist for their art in nature event, Floating Land: Us and Them. Nominated for the People and Economy (Individual/Not-for-profit) category, alongside Noosa Environmental Education Hub (Noosa Youth Advocacy Group), Tourism Noosa (Tread Lightly), and Zero Emissions Noosa (Community Battery/EV Expo), Noosa Regional Gallery is excited to have been included within such a highly respected field of finalists. Noosa Regional Gallery director and Floating Land curator Michael Brennan said, “Being recognised by being shortlisted for this award is a great compliment.” “The gallery team is dedicated to the delivery of considered cultural experiences, and 2023’s Floating Land: Us and Them reflected this.” Presented by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation established by Noosa Council in 2015 to progress the global aims of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve (the Noosa Shire), the Award celebrates the efforts of those working to address the impacts of climate change and build a smart, healthy, and prosperous future within our Noosa Biosphere Reserve. “The Noosa Regional Gallery team continues to raise the bar with each iteration of our internationally respected art and environment event, Floating Land as it reflects so much of what Noosa is about,” Mr Brennan said. “This year, Floating Land audiences em-

New research on Bull Shark activity in Noosa region New research led by the University of the Sunshine Coast is hoping to provide greater understanding of bull shark activity across the Sunshine Coast and Noosa Biosphere Reserves. UniSC Animal Ecologist Dr Bonnie Holmes said the collaborative project aimed to unravel the complexity of bull shark ecology to improve shark bite mitigation methods and water user education. “We’re all well aware that we share our waters with bull sharks, yet we have minimal interaction with them. Why is that? We still don’t know how many there are, whether numbers are increasing or decreasing, what their seasonal drivers are, and how climate change is impacting their movements,” Dr Holmes, who leads the project, said. “What we’re hoping to achieve with this research is to understand the level of human risk so we can make better informed decisions when it comes to shark bite mitigation and education,” she said. The three-year research project will track bull sharks in the waterways of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. Researchers will use acoustic tags to correlate movements with environmental data to explain fluctuations

Picture: UNISC know some bull sharks travel up to South East Queensland in the cooler months from Sydney Harbour and will utilise the river mouth more,” Dr Holmes said. “And with climate change impacting rainfall and water temperatures, long-term data

is needed to understand its impacts.” The project has brought together a diverse industry collaboration. Organisations including UniSC, Griffith University, Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Queensland Department of Agriculture & Fisheries, Sunshine Coast Council, and SeaLife are getting involved to advance conservation outcomes for these apex predators in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserves of the Noosa and Sunshine Coast region. Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Chair, Fiona Berkin says the project will enhance Noosa’s shark smart education initiatives and inform decisions about beach trials of new and non-lethal technologies. “We’re proud to be partners in this muchneeded project. It’s research such as this that enables our communities to make better informed conservation management decisions in how we respect and co-exist with nature.” A key outcome of the bull shark research will be to inform decisions about trials of alternative shark mitigation methods, with minimal risk to beachgoers.

Thrifter’s lucky find wins By Abbey Cannan Noosa local Rebecca Williams was the lucky winner of a celebrity item during Vinnies Queensland’s three-day treasure hunt, Finderfest. In the event, Vinnies Queensland partnered with seven new celebrities who donated unique items hidden in shops across the state. Vinnies Queensland general manager of operations, Drew Eide said after the success of the first Finderfest, he was excited to give Queenslanders another chance to find a preloved celebrity treasure. “With more Queenslanders than ever struggling with cost-of-living and housing insecurity, Finderfest is a fun way to give back, while sharing in more than $100k worth of prizes, plus unique celebrity and designer goods.” The celebrity line-up included Ricki-Lee Coulter, Reece Walsh, Ball Park Music, Jem Cassar-Daley, Troy Cassar-Daley, Rachel Burke and Thessy Batsinilas, who donated one-of-akind items from their personal wardrobes. Rebecca Williams said she was thrilled to find singer/songwriter Ricki-Lee Coulter’s Adidas jacket from the Do it like that music video. “I was just coming to have a look and didn’t think I would actually find the golden ticket,“ Rebecca said. Vinnies Noosaville store manager Jacqui Kimber said, “Finderfest brings in a lot more foot traffic for us having all these celebrity items donated.“ “We were lucky enough last year to have Bachelorette Angie Kent’s top that she wore on one of the episodes. So two year’s in a row we’ve been lucky enough to have celebrity

State of Origin winner and NRL sensation, Reece Walsh, gave Queenslanders the chance to walk in his shoes, donating a number of his favourite sporting items. “I’m stoked to be part of this great initiative and what makes it even more special for me is the chance to give back to the community,” Reece said. ARIA nominated Brisbane-band Ball Park Music donated priceless memorabilia, giving Queenslanders the chance to own their own

piece of musical history. “We’ve always been big fans of Vinnies, and we can’t wait to see customers find some of our music history while supporting a great cause,” they said.

Bushfire recovery help from Noosa to Tara with love The township of Tara in the Western Downs area of Queensland was devastated recently when a huge bushfire ripped through 26,000 acres of thick scrub and causing widespread destruction of property and infrastructure. More than 50 homes were lost in the inferno, leaving more than 300 people in desperate need of accommodation and everyday essential items like toiletries, clothing, school supplies and nappies. Local residents Leigh McCready, Carl Beck and Bob Birkhead have launched a Disaster Drive to support the residents of Tara seriously impacted by these devasting bushfires. A bushfire survivor himself, Bob knows well the challenges facing the township of Tara. “My family and I lost everything in a bushfire in southern Sydney in 1994, when a neighbour tragically lost her life and 86 homes were destroyed, so we know firsthand the importance of community support in recovery process. In our case community support, both locally, Australia-wide and internationally, played a huge role in rebuilding our lives,” Bob said.

Adventure in Antarctica A trip to Antarctica is a bucket list item for many intrepid explorers. A vast, captivating expanse that is one of the last truly wild places on the planet, it is difficult to comprehend the magnitude of the place until one experiences it firsthand. Aurora Expeditions, the Australian-owned expedition travel company, has been taking travellers to Antarctica for more than 32 years, beginning when its founder, renowned explorer and mountaineer Greg Mortimer, brought small groups of adventurers on inspiring voyages of discovery to the white continent. Today, Aurora is an award-winning, 100 per cent Climate Neutral company specialising in small-ship expeditions to Antarctica and other remote wilderness regions where nature rules, and where few or no others venture. Commenting on why he comes back to the region time and time again, Greg Mortimer says: “It’s simple – it’s never the same. From the chemistry of the people you travel with to the impact of the weather and the ice, and those things that come along that nature just throws at you. The chance encounters you can have on an expedition are wondrous.” It helps to have a broad understanding of Antarctica’s regions, seasons, and experiences before locking in your chosen adventure. The travel season for Antarctica begins in late October and ends in early April, and there are dozens of immersive voyages to choose from, ranging from nine days all the way to 24 days in length. Antarctic Peninsula An epic wonderland full of penguins, whales, seals, birds, breath-taking ice formations and steep-sided mountains descending dramatically into the sea, the Antarctic Peninsula is the quintessential location to explore on an adventure to the region. The vast majority of Aurora’s voyages visit the Peninsula, but each expedition is different. Some sail over the famed Drake Passage

Aurora Expeditions follow the experience rather than a strict itinerary, where unparalleled opportunities to connect with nature are top of mind for the team.

crossed the famed Antarctic Circle, or seen the tremendous tabular icebergs of the Weddell Sea, renowned for its heroic history and vast amounts of ice. Wildlife enthusiasts and history buffs may like to consider the sub-antarctic island of South Georgia, best known for the perilous history of Sir Ernest Shackleton, beaches lined with elephant seals and Antarctic fur seals, or its enormous king penguin colonies – the largest in the world – which elicit emotion from even the most seasoned travellers. Life on board and in the action Aurora’s two new vessels, the Greg Mortimer and the Sylvia Earle, are purpose-built for discovery in an intimate and informal setting, holding a maximum of 132 passengers. Their small size means they can go where larger ships cannot, they have greater flexibility to change plans based on conditions or chance wildlife encounters, and passengers can enjoy more time exploring, whether on land or water. Each voyage is accompanied by Aurora’s highly-skilled expedition team, many of whom are leaders in their fields and share their wisdom during onboard lectures, Zodiac cruises, citizen science projects, landings and more. Passengers are also spoilt for choice when it comes to activities that facilitate deeper exploration. There’s Zodiac cruising, hiking, photography with our onboard professionals, and optional add-ons such as sea kayaking, camping, alpine trekking, snorkeling and scuba diving – even in the icy waters of Antarctica, where expeditioners swim among icebergs, penguins and unique marine life.

Presenter Alex Easton and the team will be kicking off their shoes and dipping their toes in the water as Noosa Heads warms up for summer. They are teaming up with the surf club to start the weekend off well, with a bit of fun, catching up on the important issues to Noosa, and a bite of breakfast too. “Noosa is one of my favourite places in the world,“ Alex said. “I live down the road at Cooroy, so it’s where I go for a swim or a bushwalk, it’s where my kids go to surf, it’s where we go to celebrate important moments in our lives.

“I’m incredibly excited about this broadcast. It’s going to be a chance to spend the morning sharing this beautiful place with our listeners.“ The live broadcast will be an opportunity for anyone to go along and meet Alex, and see radio being made behind-the-scenes. “One of the great things about radio is how interactive it is,“ Alex said. “Our shows are as much a real-time conversation with our listeners as they are a venue for hearing music and stories from the community, and this broadcast will be a chance for people to get involved in the show even more directly than usual.“ ABC Sunshine Coast will broadcast in the front of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, right on the beach, from 5-8am, on Friday 24 November.

On 11 November, Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin were thrilled to welcome guests to the Steve Irwin Gala in Brisbane, marking an extraordinary evening that honoured the life and legacy of the original Wildlife Warrior, Steve Irwin, and over 20 years of conservation through Wildlife Warriors. An important day on the Wildlife Warriors calendar, the Steve Irwin Gala brings together passionate people to support the protection of wildlife and wild places, celebrating everything Steve was most passionate about – family, conservation and fun. In a khaki-clad ballroom, guests were treated to a night of wild fun and dancing as Lee Kernaghan performed, along with a scrumptious three-course meal, entertainers, guest speakers and a live auction. Wildlife conservationist Terri Irwin said, “We were delighted to receive incredible support at the Steve Irwin Gala, helping us raise vital funds for our charity Wildlife Warriors. Our not-for-profit organisation is achieving monumental strides in the protection and preservation of wildlife species and natural habitats around the world.“ “We would like to thank everyone who joined us on this special evening, and we hope to continue to inspire more people in honouring Steve’s important legacy through our work at Wildlife Warriors,“ Terri said. Wildlife Warriors was founded by Steve and Terri Irwin in 2002, as a way to include and involve people in the support and conservation of the world’s most threatened wildlife species and natural habitats, from an individual animal to the entire species. In Australia, Wildlife Warriors provides lifesaving treatment and care to wildlife impacted by road traffic accidents, domestic animal attacks, and disease. The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital treats up to 10,000 animals every year including the koala, an iconic animal which was classed as an endangered species in 2022. Since opening their doors in 2004, the specialised facility has

FOCUS ON WASTE NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Councillors test out the new reverse vending machine at Noosa Landfill.

Lola and Fletcher earn some cash from recycling containers.

Ecoboxtec recycling boost About 1.4 trillion beverage containers are used worldwide every year. Many containers are sadly disposed of in landfill or waterways, but Noosa’s new reverse vending machine is looking to reduce and recycle containers bit by bit. The Ecoboxtec machine, based at the Resource Recovery Centre in Noosa is starting to gain momentum, attracting about 3400 items weekly. Waste Services manager Kyrone Dodd wants to significantly increase that number and is challenging residents to become change makers. “This machine can handle nearly fourtimes what we are currently recycling, so I en-

courage locals to start earning from what they return,” he said. “It’s quick, convenient and accurate and recycling containers, cans and bottles are a great way to earn some extra cash,” Mr Dodd said. Statistics show aluminium cans account for nearly half of what is recycled, followed by glass. Every item recycled is worth 10 cents and as from the start of November, wine and spirit bottles are also accepted. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the machine can play an important role in conserving landfill space. “We have just adopted a new waste Plan for

the shire and this council has a goal of continually increasing diversion of recyclable material from landfill. This is a simple but effective way to start,” she said. The facility at Doonan is fast becoming a recycling hub. The new polystyrene recycling machine is crushing about 286 cubic metres of polystyrene a month. We are now taking a regular load from Gympie Regional Council. The Reviva Shop, operated by Resource Recovery Australia, is like stepping into a hidden treasure trove on steroids. Council has partnered with the not-forprofit social enterprise to transform waste into opportunities . The shop is at 561 Eumundi-

Noosa Road, Doonan adjacent to the Reverse Vending Machine. “We have really established a convenient one-stop recycling hub where people can make a difference to the environment,” Mr Dodd said. Reviva Noosa is certainly not your ordinary garage sale. You will continually find a mesmerising array of homewares, furniture, plants, garden ornaments, jewellery and much more. So if you plan on recycling some cans and bottles at the reverse vending machine, take some time to explore, discover, and potentially snag yourself a bargain before they vanish into the homes of other lucky treasure hunters.

Noosa, it’s time to earn from what you return Make some extra cash by visiting our state-of-the-art reverse vending machine at the Noosa Resource Recovery Centre. Become a change maker today. Get 10 cents for every eligible can, container and bottle. Wine and spirit bottles are now accepted.

Turning trash into cash plays a part in reducing waste going to landfill and helps our environment for future generations. Recycle right! Noosa Resource Recovery Centre Eumundi-Noosa Road, Doonan Open daily from 7am - 5pm

Improved transport is key Better transport, greater accessibility and further progression of the Sunshine Coast’s Blue Heart initiative have been featured in the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Strategy. The 20-year journey to a healthier, more active and inclusive society has been laid out with the release of the 2032 Games Legacy Strategy. This follows almost a year of community consultation and work with the Queensland community and Games Delivery Partners, including Sunshine Coast Council. Elevate 2042 has the bold mission of making Queensland, Australia and the Oceania region “better, sooner, together through sport’’, as a direct result of our Games. The vision is that by 2042, we will all be living in an inclusive, sustainable and connected society, with more opportunities in life for everyone. Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson said the strategy was an important step in achieving positive outcomes for the Sunshine Coast from these Games. “We want our Sunshine Coast community to be the beneficiaries of our involvement as a Games Delivery Partner in the 2032 Games, with an enduring legacy for current and future generations to enjoy,” Mayor Jamieson said. “I am particularly pleased with the commitment to a more connected and accessible South-East Queensland through the development of a transport and mobility strategy, which will prioritise improvements to the region’s transport system. “The Sunshine Coast’s Blue Heart initiative and our Mobility Mapping project which improves accessibility for people with a disability in our region are strongly featured in the Legacy Strategy and great examples of positive local projects that will be bigger and better because of the Games.’’ Mayor Jamieson said he was proud of the

The Sunshine Coast’s Blue Heart initiative have been featured in the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Strategy. collaboration that went into creating the Brisbane 2032 Legacy Strategy. “I would like to thank everyone who completed the survey or attended the Legacy Forum – particularly those from the Sunshine Coast – your commitment to our future is truly appreciated. In particular, our Sunshine Coast 2032 Legacy Community Reference Group who assisted us in providing feedback into this process.” Elevate 2042 reflects the aspirations of the community, with more than 14,000 ideas submitted through the Hopes and Dreams survey, Legacy Forum and Elevate 2042 consultation paper. Sunshine Coast Legacy Community Reference Group Chair and Paralympian Dr Bridie

Kean said the Brisbane 2032 Legacy Strategy was the catalyst to create a truly inclusive society for all. “From universal design underpinning everything we build to providing sport for every Queensland child with a disability, I cannot wait to see what we have achieved by 2042,” Dr Kean said. Council will now join other Games Delivery Partners to play a key role in the next step, which is to map out the first Implementation Plan, to be developed during 2024 in conjunction with each individual region, that will drive delivery of the early legacy activities up to 2029. The Plan will identify the priority programs, projects, targets, partnerships, policy levers

and funding sources that will be needed to make the legacy goals happen, with local communities and businesses helping prioritise the most important projects for their own areas. Sunshine Coast Council undertook its own community engagement with the 2032 Sunshine Coast Legacy Community Reference Group (CRG), to develop a vision and set of aspirations that are bespoke to the Sunshine Coast. The 10+10+ Vision was launched in early 2023 and aligns with Elevate 2042. As a Games Delivery Partner, the Sunshine Coast is set to host seven Olympic events and two Paralympic events across four key venues at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Annastacia Palaszczuk, Premier and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games said, “Hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games has never been about a few weeks of spectacle. “It is about making the most of this once-ina-lifetime opportunity to provide lasting benefits for our communities.“ Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee President Andrew Liveris AO said, “The Games will deliver the biggest event in south-east Queensland’s history and a moment in time to be remembered, but our legacy will evolve for generations to come.“ “This is our opportunity to work as one to ensure no-one is left behind and equality and inclusion shine through before and beyond 2032. “From inclusion to sustainability, First Nations peoples to economic prosperity, this is a strategy with purpose and the outcomes and successes will elevate the strength of our communities and nation like never before. “My thanks to Games Delivery Partners for supporting the development of the strategy to this starting point, and to the thousands who shaped the framework and will continue to contribute as elements of the strategy are delivered over the next two decades.”

BUSINESS PROFILE NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Debra’s new Migrants well-equipped and ready for work lease on life When she moved from Brisbane to Noosa Springs last year, Debra Briscoe knew she’d have to change the way she lived if she was to fully benefit from living in one of Australia’s premier lifestyle destinations. Debra had spent years at a desk in her role as a human resources executive. Raising two kids, coping with Covid and working long hours had taken its toll, and Debra’s weight had dramatically increased. She decided that, at 60, it was time to do something about it. Debra consulted her doctor, made an appointment to see a dietician, started a disciplined regime of walking – 12,000 steps a day at least – and signed up with Noosa Springs’ Fitness Centre. A year later, the transformation is astonishing. Fit, confident and healthy, Debra has shed 50kg and says she’s never felt better. She’s talking about now adding muscle to her svelte physique and is keen to not just walk, but take daily runs around Noosa. Her personal trainer Matt Upton is amazed at the discipline and commitment that Debra has put into her makeover. “I help her by showing her what to do in the gym,” he said. “But that’s only a part of it. Deb’s done it herself – she’s amazing.” Debra said the secret was to put a good system in place. “I listened to the advice of my doctor and dietician and followed what they said. I drink lots of water – I don’t go anywhere without my water bottle – count calories, and I work with Matt for three hours a week. I did my research, listened to podcasts and tried intermittent fasting. Most of it is just common sense, really.”

Debra’s gym work involves resistance training, building muscle mass and increasing bone density. “I feel so much better,” she said. “I’m healthier, stronger and much more confident, and excited about the next part of my journey. I’ve been lucky because I have people in my corner. Having people to support you is very important. Matt’s been fantastic.” Debra now weighs 77kg, and says her ideal weight is probably about 70kg. There’s no doubt she’ll reach that goal before too long. But that won’t be the end of it for this mother of two adult children. Her journey has been not so much about setting and reaching targets, but creating an entire new lifestyle that she’s convinced will make her a better person.

Networking at the sixth annual Migrant Work Ready graduation event has given skilled Sunshine Coast multicultural workers an opportunity to rub shoulders with Sunshine Coast businesses. A year-long program of workshops, talks, individual case management, job-brokering and placements has prepared graduates for the local job market. The Migrant Work Ready program this year was integrated into a new Queensland Government Diverse Queensland Workforce program, with Baringa Community Centre having implemented the 12-month pilot program this year. Sunshine Coast Deputy Mayor and Division 1 Councillor Rick Baberowski said diverse teams brought rich perspectives, varied experience and a tapestry of ideas that fuelled productivity and innovation. “When businesses employ a diverse workforce, it benefits the business, its employees and customers, not only through improved cultural insights but also through increased productivity and creativity and access to a wider range of skills,” he said. “Diversity isn’t a check box, it’s a catalyst for success.” Caloundra Community Centre, coordinator of the Diverse Queensland Workforce Program, Stella Romagnoli said the program helped migrants put their experience into practice at the same time as getting a job in a new place and country while also providing employers with highly resourceful and educated staff. “Global research has shown many benefits of employing a diverse workforce, in-

Innovation Trekking for Parkinson’s that pays off The Generation Innovation 2023 GI Challenge has come to an electrifying conclusion, with Noosa local Liv Gilchrist emerging victorious in the fiercely contested Pitch finale. Her groundbreaking venture Ocean Ears captivated the panel of Sunshine Coast Business professionals, earning her the top honor and the $10,000 prize package to fuel her enterprise. This year’s GI Challenge showcased a remarkable range of entrepreneurial ventures, demonstration the vibrant potential of young innovators aged 15-25. Through rigorous workshops, valuable mentoring sessions, and relentless dedication, participants brought their unique business concepts to the fore. On the final pitch night, three exemplary finalists presented their visions to the Sunshine Coast community: Liv Gilchrist with her eco-friendly venture Ocean Ears, Ryan Morrison with the sustainable venture PelletPonics, and Millie Toy with her innovate venture Bin Buddy. Zoe Sparks, chair of Generation Innovation, reflected on the event’s success. “This year’s GI Challenge has exceeded all expectations,“ Zoe said. “The record number of applications and sheer quality of the ideas presented have been phenomenal. Liv’s venture Ocean Ears is a beacon of innovation, merging creativity with ecological stewardship. “Each entrepreneur who stepped forward this year has not only contributed a business idea but has also made a statement about the power of young minds to effect change.“

In April 2024, a Sunshine group will return to Nepal, to trek to the world’s highest mountain base camp, Mt Everest Base Camp, at 5346m above sea level. To add a new level of adventure to this, a part of that group will also attempt to summit Mt Labouche at 6119m. Trek Ready Himalayas organiser Gary Mckitterick Gillett said they would be raising awareness and funds to help put an end to Parkinson’s Disease. “Labouche is a village on the EBC trail, and so on our return from base camp, a few of us will venture up the mountain, camp in a tent at 5500m and then get up very early to trek the remaining 600m over a five-hour period,“ he said. “This will be the highest I have ever been and likely as high as I will ever venture.“ Gary said their focus for the past two years has been on Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD). “Earlier in 2023, we took a young lady with YOPD to Mt Annapurna at 4110m, which she achieved, and was a terrific effort,“ he said. “The end is in sight with advancements

Noosa local Liv Gilchrist has clinched the top spot as winner of the $10,000 prize package. In addition to the winner’s announcement, the GI Challenge was proud to present the Spirit of GI Award to Kaila Freeman for her Eco-Savers venture, honoring her adaptability and tenacity as an entrepreneur and her commitment to the GI Challenge program. “We are in awe of the talent that has come through this year’s challenge,“ Zoe continued. “It’s more than just a competition. It’s a movement towards a future where entrepreneurship and innovation are at the heart of community growth and environmental responsibility. Congratulations to all our young entrepreneurs who are now well on their way to becoming the change-makers of tomorrow.“

happening all the time, so we need to keep pushing and see an end to this terrible affliction. “It is estimated that over 2000 people on the Sunshine Coast may have Parkinson’s Disease and 20 per cent of those have Young Onset Parkinson’s disease. “It is someone we know, a family member, a friend, a colleague, or it could be you.“ Once again, they are supporting the Shake It Up Australia foundation, with the confidence that all funds raised go directly to research to find a cure. Their group size is currently at 10 and will likely go to 15, with four of that group to attempt Mt Labouche. “We have a weekly wellness walk on Mt Coolum every Tuesday at 5am which is free to join in,“ Gary said. They have arranged a free Christmas walk at Mt Ngungun on Wednesday 22 November at 4.45pm, and various fundraising events around the Sunshine Coast which are soon to be announced.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND THE CANOE Seven, Friday, 8.30pm

You’ll scratch your head in spellbound disbelief, laugh and perhaps have an anxious knot form in your stomach through this darkly comic four-part caper. Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan) and an unrecognisable Monica Dolan deliver superb performances as John and Anne Darwin, but perhaps the most intoxicating element of this riveting miniseries is the fact it’s firmly based on a wild, but true, story. True crime is elevated with tragicomic wit in this crazy chronicle of a harebrained insurance scam. Premiering tonight with a movie-length double episode, it’s a measure of clever, striking storytelling when compassion can be felt for two idiotic criminals.

SHAKESPEARE AND HATHAWAY ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm

True lies: Eddie Marsan and Monica Dolan as John and Anne Darwin. LUXURY ESCAPES 10, Sunday, 4.30pm

Budget, what budget? In this aspirational travel show, decadence and luxury in the world’s most stunning locations and hotels are the order of the day. When living through a cost of living crisis, the finest antidote is perhaps discovering what financial freedom (aka lots of money) affords. In tonight’s sun-soaked season finale, two of TV’s most entertaining hosts, Love It or List It’s Andrew Winter and Neale Whitaker (both pictured), lap up some breathtaking Aussie hedonism. The impish real estate and interior design aficionados bring their jesting banter along for their glorious getaway, basking in the glow of Sydney’s beautiful sights and lounging around on Lizard Island.

If murderous whimsy is a style, this British crime candy has nailed it. Featuring the playful vibrancy of Jo Joyner as hairdresser turned investigator Luella Shakespeare and the droll swagger of Mark Benton (pictured, left, with Patrick Walshe McBride and Joyner) as Frank Hathaway, tonight marks the end of season four – one of the most watchable yet. Frank is lured onto a hiking walk to find a killer, only to be arrested for murder by DS Keeler (Tomos Eames). Entertainingly told though flashbacks in an unconventional way, this amusing mystery also paints Frank in a different light, with romance in the air and a date. Season five is yet to be given the go-ahead, so this amusing yet slightly predictable episode might be a bittersweet ending to this much-loved show. THE GARDEN HUSTLE Nine, Saturday, 7.30pm

In this fresh new garden makeover series, premiering tonight, there’s an abundance of creative homeowners and renters ready to get their hands dirty to transform their outdoor space in unexpected and inspiring ways. It’s a fertile idea for a show in a nation of garden lovers, but this delightful new series stands out from the bunch thanks to its exciting hosts: actress Lisa McCune and The Block’s resident landscaping expert Dave Franklin. The Gold Logie award-winning star is a natural as she and Franklin support participants racing against the clock to bring their garden ideas and dreams to life. From sprawling backyards to snug balconies, no outdoor space is left in the shade.

Optus offer an insult As an Optus Customer for 24 years and have always paid my monthly due accounts well before their due date, I feel Optus offer of 200 GB and obviously not first taking into account me on a personal level is an insult. Firstly, my last three monthly accounts were each $73.25 with each showing a total of unused data for my mobile phone and iPad as 22.44GB. So another 200GB is just an insult to me and just also proves my account with them is nothing more than a phone number and drop in the ocean. In August I approached them to come up with another plan including internet as a Smart TV I have purchased needed a stronger wifi to use all of its capabilities without going over my allocated GB. The plan they offered and I chose was exactly what I needed. I refused to accept the terms as they are now, after 24 years requiring access into my bank account. The reason I gave them was I felt it an insult to my loyalty and age. I then gave them a reminder they had lost my driver’s licence details in 2022 and didn’t feel their so called 100 per cent security was safe enough to trust with my bank account. I must add this doesn’t in anyway refer to the Optus Shop in the Civic who in the past have given me excellent service and respectable attention. I realise there are millions of Optus customers with more reasons than mine and more justified financially and personally feel the offer of extra GBs is an insult to their past loyalty and it’s an easy way out of another Optus lack of accountability.

Production blowouts Is it true that in the next exciting outer space episode of Uncle Ted’s Incredible Nuclear Adventure, the small modular nuclear reactor will not be available for the foreseeable future due to production cost blowouts? Just asking for friends. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Use fossil fuels Steve Hall’s (NT10/11) call for action on climate change is based on an ideology not science. He believes the planet is rushing towards a climate catastrophe resulting from the use of fossil fuels by advanced countries. Fossil fuels contain energy which is released when they burn. This process also produces CO2 and water. Climate activists are terrified by CO2 because they believe this gas causes global warming. Activists never discuss the science of CO2. Either they have no understanding or are reluctant to explain the role of CO2 in the atmosphere because it would destroy their belief.

LENSCAPE

Leanne Airey captured this image on Remembrance Day of “two of our treasured Australian icons, the Kookaburra and our lovely Mount Cooroora in Noosa’s hinterland. It is a gentle reminder to me of how fortunate we are to be living in Australia and how lucky we are to feel relatively safe in Australia”. If you have a Lenscape please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au Remembrance Day 2023

Science is based on evidence not belief. Ice core samples taken from Antarctica and Greenland show that CO2 follows temperature increases it does not cause them, contrary to the false claims made by Al Gore in his science fiction movie, An Inconvenient Truth. When the energy from the sun warms the oceans they release CO2 into the atmosphere. CO2 does not emit UV or visible radiation and cannot warm the oceans. The Federal Labor government should reassure the Pacific Island nations they have nothing to fear from increasing levels of atmospheric CO2. The tide gauge at Fort Denison in Sydney shows no evidence of increasing sea levels in the Pacific. Tides are related to the orbits of the moon and the sun, not to CO2 or cattle emissions. The Teals were elected by misinformed voters to take strong action on climate change. There is ample evidence from isotopes contained in ice cores, rocks, ocean floor sediments and limestone caves to show that over the vast span of geological time the climate always changes and the important point to realise is the climate changes in cycles. Science is never settled. The early belief that CO2 from the burning of coal could cause the planet to warm has been disproved and replaced by the discovery of the sun’s magnetic field and how it shields the earth from bombardment by cosmic rays from outer space. There is evidence to show that changes in the sun’s magnetic field control the extent of clouds hence temperature and the climate.

Fossil fuels have improved the lifestyle of modern societies. Australia is most fortunate to have ample deposits of the high grade coal and gas. These fuels will keep energy costs low and our lights on as we transition into the electrical age. John Turner, Noosa Heads

No superglue required We should all become climate activists to save the world from impending doom, according to Steve Hall (NT November 10). Well before we buy a few tubes of superglue to anchor ourselves to Hasting Street during the pre-Christmas rush or catch a flight to Paris or London where we can visit the world’s leading art museums and deface Van Gough or Picasso’s priceless works to save the planet, it’s worth taking a step back to ponder some other dire warnings from some leading climate alarmists: Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the University of East Anglia, in 2000 said, “within a few years winter snowfall will become a very rare and exciting event..Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.“ Less than a decade later, former US Vice President Al Gore predicted sea levels could rise by seven metres “in the near future“ . But then he bought a 20-room mansion that reportedly “guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years.” Former Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd

warned “climate change is the great moral challenge of our time“ before jetting off to a climate change talk-fest in Copenhagen where delegates had to scramble home before the airport was snowed under. But the claimed sea level rise didn’t put him off purchasing a multi-million dollar beachfront mansion at Noosa’s Sunshine Beach a few years ago. Professor Tim Flannery of the Climate Council in 2007 claimed: “Even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams... “ Oops, keep trying Tim, there are thousands of subsequent flood victims who might not believe you. But when it comes to alarmist predictions, this one takes the cake: “… As all the ice at the two poles melt, a stupendous volume of water will be released. Fish will swim in Buckingham Palace … the Sahara Desert will be a great inland sea … New York will be marked by taller skyscrapers … the climate will be as when dinosaurs roamed the earth…” This piece from the woke left’s prized New York Times is dated - May 15, 1932. Well it hasn’t happened in the last 90 years, I don’t think King Charles and Queen Camilla will have to vacate Buckingham Palace any time soon, we’ll still have to walk a couple of hundred metres from our home to let our dogs enjoy the beach for the foreseeable future. So I won’t be buying any super glue unless something really needs mending. John Mikkelsen, Noosa

Survey shows workers opt for a greener commute Maroochydore City Centre enjoyed an encouraging shift towards eco-friendly commuting during Sustainable Travel Week, with survey data showing almost a 20 per cent reduction in single occupant car travel to the city during the five-day challenge. Hundreds of people took part in the inaugural event, organised by SunCentral Maroochydore and Sunshine Coast Council’s Think Change Team, aimed to encourage workers, residents, and visitors to the Maroochydore City Centre to rethink their travel routines. Those who chose to ride, skate, scooter, walk, carpool or bus into the city were rewarded each day with free coffee, food, and go cards, while the MET came alive throughout the week with music and activities to promote the benefits of sustainable travel. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said every small step towards sustainable transport was a giant leap for the environment. “The success of Sustainable Travel Week proves that change is possible. Let’s keep the momentum going, one eco-friendly trip at a time,” Mayor Jamieson said. 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 November, 2023

Andrew Zarb - Sustainable Travel Week winner. “The community’s positive response to Sustainable Travel Week demonstrates a willingness to embrace eco-friendly transportation options and create a positive change in their weekly routines,” SunCentral chief executive officer Amanda Yeates said. “Making the switch to sustainable travel may not seem easy at first, but it is undoubtedly worth trying, even just once or twice a week as a start. “Not only does it ease road congestion but it’s better for our physical and mental

health,” Amanda said. Research shows 85 per cent of Sunshine Coast residents still rely on private vehicles, while just three per cent using public transport and 12 per cent opt for active transport like walking, and bike riding. Maroochydore City Centre Travel To Work data shows 62 per cent commute by car (which includes 20 per cent carpooling + park and ride figures), while 38 per cent of City Workers use active travel and seven per cent take public transport. A survey undertaken during Sustainable Travel Week captured the shift in commuting habits of more than 150 people during the week, as well as what would motivate the switch to more eco-friendly travel. The survey found a 19 per cent reduction in single occupant car travel into Maroochydore City Centre for the week based on those who had already, or intended to, make an eco-friendly switch. The survey also found the top three factors which would encourage people to use Sustainable Travel options to travel to work in Maroochydore City Centre in the future were safer bike routes, express bus services and greater frequency of bus services.

Maroochydore City Centre commuter Andrew Zarb was rewarded for his sustainable travel efforts, as the lucky winner of a $1000 voucher to a local bike shop. Andrew and his wife are commendable advocates of sustainable travel, foregoing car ownership for the past year and a half in favour of a motorcycle, e-bikes, walking, public transport, and the occasional Uber or taxi ride. Andrew is going to put his voucher towards a new bike for casual cycling and commuting to work where he can access the city’s end-of-trip facilities in City Hall. Sunshine Coast Council has already reported an increase in bikes and e-bikes parked in City Hall end-of-trip facilities since Sustainable Travel Week. “Maroochydore City Centre is planning ongoing Sustainable Travel Challenges throughout the year to continue to build on the positives we’ve seen from this year’s inaugural event. The shift toward eco- friendly transportation is a collective effort to make our City more environmentally friendly, healthier, and less congested, one step at a time,” Ms Yeates said.

Noosa Regional Gallery and Noosa Council have introduced a new creative arts program supporting quality of life and wellbeing for people living with dementia. Brushing Memories: Artful Journeys for Dementia Wellness is a creative program that engages participants through artmaking and conversation. The free program will commence in 2024 with sessions made available to residential care facility residents in addition to members of the public. The program will be delivered by a Sunshine Coast-based artist educator, and supported by Noosa Regional Gallery volunteers. In readiness for the new program, the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) in collaboration with Noosa Regional Gallery will present a specialised training workshop for local arts and health professionals. Noosa Regional Gallery Education and Public Programs Officer Brooke Bowtell said, “Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of participants, the workshop will foster community partnerships in building a sustainable program suited to the local community.” “Conversely, the workshop will also provide professional development that will enable participants to develop similar programs within the broader community.” Trained educators who are already delivering Art and Dementia programs at the National Gallery of Australia will facilitate the training workshop over two days, in readiness for the 2024 public program. Dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia and their care partners through the program, Ms Bowtell foresees

Brushing Memories: Artful Journeys for Dementia Wellness.

John’s big show goes on By Phil Jarratt Do you remember John Fraser’s 90th birthday bash, previewed in these pages a year ago? No one who was present for the extravagant bash at his Stephen Kidd-designed Provencal mansion Villa des dauphins on the cliffs above Sunrise Beach ever will. More than 100 guests sipped Moet et Chandon and enjoyed three sumptuous courses while Virgilio Marino, the star tenor of Opera Australia, heading a stellar cast, entertained them at their tables. Oh my, what a night it was! Time marches on, and the former timber baron lost his beloved wife of more than 67 years, Patricia, just last month. But with 91 just around the corner, he picked himself up, dusted himself off and resumed his daily early morning hour of table tennis, traded in his Ferrari for a canary yellow Porsche 911 Turbo (“Best car I’ve ever owned,” he winks. “Superior engineering.”) and started organising the next big bash. Mind you, the party won’t quite match last year’s. This one is not a number that ends in 0, for one thing, and many of the friends he would have liked to invite are unavailable for reasons that go with the territory for another. But none of that has stopped John from getting on the phone to the biggest names in Australian music, the best caterers money can buy, and setting up the best party tricks his agile nonagenarian mind can conjure, all for the enjoyment of 60 or so of his nearest and dearest. Heading up the opera stars is Neapolitan tenor Raffaele Pierno, born on the same Naples street as Enrico Caruso, whose greatest hits he will cover, along with those of Lanza, Pavarotti and Bocelli, accompanied by pianist Leanne Warne. Also on the bill is Sydney’s versatile virtuoso violinist Melissa Voyias who moves from classical to contemporary and back again in a

Ladies are asked to come in “elegant attire” while gentlemen are requested to don “smart long sleeve dress shirt, long dress trousers, and shoes.” As they work their way through three courses from oysters to lemon meringue pie, they may well be hoping for a cooling sea breeze, or they may be too thrilled by the entertainment

to notice. (John thinks the latter is likely.) For a man who made his money travelling the world to source the world’s best timbers at the right price, then built up Sydney’s biggest high-end timber company and mass producer of frames and trusses, and finally sold the business for a motza and the land it stood on to Microsoft for $20 million, there is no excuse for holding back.

Legatee’s lasting impact By Abbey Cannan Noosaville local, John Reid’s connection to Australia’s service community runs deep, having lost his veteran father when he was just two years old, and having served himself. Following in his father’s footsteps, John, 77, joined the army as a surveyor, and was deployed to New Guinea where he carried out mapping operations. “I don’t have a memory of my father but I just know that he wasn’t well after he returned from fighting in the Middle East and New Guinea,“ John said. “My mum re-married so I had a really wonderful step-dad who was also a veteran. In terms of following in their footsteps, I was a national serviceman so I didn’t have a choice. “My birthday got drawn out of a barrel by a celebrity and they said ’You’re in the army for two years’. That was in the Vietnam era and I was a surveyor at the time. I went to New Guinea for nine months doing mapping.“ After retiring from the army, John became a Legatee for Legacy Brisbane in 1996, allowing him to give back to the families of veterans, offering them the same support that he and his mother received all those years ago. “I felt that as soon as I had enough spare time on my hands that I would join Legacy. It’s terrific,“ he said. “I remember when I was a child, Legacy helping us with dental work and getting support from being able to talk to them. My mum got a lot of support and we ended up in a war service home through the government. “I can remember a big pile of dirt arriving in the yard one day and a whole lot of guys with wheelbarrows and shovels and rakes showing up. That was the Legatees and they planted shrubs and spread and seeded the soil. I can remember the sprinkler going on it and when the grass grew, I was able to run under the sprinkler, as kids do. “We still have that Backyard Assist program today, helping any widower who can’t handle their backyard. The Legatees attack a backyard and bring it under control.“ John has been living in Noosaville since 2010, and has continued his work with Legacy

Following Remembrance Day, John is encouraging Sunshine Coast locals to support Legacy Brisbane’s work, and its ground-breaking new Legacy House project, donating via bringithome.org.au Legacy House will offer a ‘single front door’ for a range of support services for Queensland Veterans and their families, simplifying the process of receiving life changing care and support. A multi-million-dollar development, Legacy House’s Model of Care was informed by Legacy Brisbane chief executive officer Brendan Cox’s years of national and international study, as well as his own experience as a veteran. The Queensland State Government will contribute $3 million to the Legacy House project, adding to a recent donation by Gina Rinehart in what was the project’s largest philanthropic donation to date. Sunshine Coast Legacy Group is always in need of new Legatees and anyone interested can contact chairperson Rhondda Poor on 0418 184 402.

Tips for keeping students safe during Schoolies Week Noosa residents can remain calm as Schoolies is set to be quiet in 2023, avoiding a repeat of the Main Beach mayhem of 2020. Police doubled their resources with mounted police, undercover agents and extra water police on duty for the Schoolies week in 2020 when about 5000 school leavers descended on Noosa. “We don’t want it again. We’re too small for it,” former Noosa Police officer-in-charge acting senior sergeant Troy Cavell said at the time. Lucky for the new officer-in-charge, the Gold Coast is back in prime selection for school leavers with their formal activities, and only a small number of groups looking for a more relaxed celebration week are expected to descend on Noosa. As these school leavers are crossing off each day on their calendar with excitement, anxious parents are coming to terms with sending their child away for the week-long celebration. Wherever the students have booked, some parents can feel nervous about their child being away for an extended period of time. It may be the first time their child has gone on holidays with their friends and without parental supervision. This is where the Red Frogs crew come in handy to provide schoolies preparation tips for parents to encourage safe celebrations and to be a positive peer presence at 13 Schoolies locations. Here are the Red Frogs Top Tips for Parents: It’s easier said than done but take the time to talk to your teen about Schoolies Week and how they plan to celebrate. Be a listening ear and share in their excitement for this next chapter of life. We know it can be tempting but do not call or SMS your teen while they are driving down or home again. They don’t need the

Encourage them to call 000 in emergency situations, the official services are here to help. It can be scary for your teen to call emergency services but let them know that first responders have their best interest at heart. To keep up to date on all things Schoolies, parents can also join the Red Frogs Schoolies Advice for Parents Facebook Group. There are also local support services and government safety responses in place to keep Schoolies safe over the next few weeks, for more information, visit saferschoolies.qld. gov.au/ If your young person is planning to head to Schoolies, Red Frogs can be contacted 24/7 through the hotline number 1300 557 123 or by downloading the Red Frogs App. For more information on Red Frogs, visit redfrogs.com.au

This will make sure they’re having something nutritious that will support their overall wellbeing throughout the week. Do not provide your teen with any alcohol. Although this might feel like you are protecting them, research has shown that providing them with alcohol actually leads to more risky behaviour.

It can be an easy one to forget, but hydration is so important especially during the hot summer days. Watermelon and electrolyte drinks are also super helpful and delicious. Agree on check-in times and stay in touch during the week to make sure they are OK. Remind your teen that, it’s OK to not be OK but it’s important to tell someone about it. Keep those communication channels open so your teen knows you are there for them. Remind them to always stay with their friends. It’s always nice to have someone

Coolum State School students sang at the ceremony.

Remembering lives lost By Margie Maccoll Silence fell on the Western Front of WWI at the signing of the armistice between the Allied forces and Germany at 11am on 11 November, 1918, in a war in which 416,000 Australians enlisted and more than 60,000 lives were lost, Ninderry MP Dan Purdie told guests at the Remembrance Day ceremony at CoolumPeregian RSL subbranch last Saturday. For a nation of five million people it was a terrible price to pay, but it was a moment of truth for the nation - the courage, mateship and honour borne out of those days is a legacy we should never forget, he said. Remembrance Day services were held across the region to remember more than 100,000 Australians who have paid the ultimate price in various conflicts and to pay respect to all defence men and women who keep our country safe and secure. Coolum Beach State High School students Noah and Holly spoke to attendees about the significance of Remembrance Day to them. Noah, who told of his family’s history of military service, said it was appropriate for young Australians to look to history and remember stories of the past. Remember them because their sacrifice affords us every freedom we enjoy today, he said. Holly said she hoped young people would use the opportunity of Remembrance Day to express gratitude to all those who served and whose sacrifice should inspire us in the future. Coolum Beach Baptist church pastor John Curtis spoke of the thousands of soldiers lost at Gallipoli and of one of the last soldiers evacuated from Gallipoli, Jack Tarrant, who left something more behind. Gathering up unused ration packs he left them for Turkish soldiers with a message inside telling them the food was not poison, it was good to eat, alongside his address. He counted as one of the highlights of his life attending the wedding of a daughter of a Turkish soldier who was a recipient of the rations he provided. Stories like that make me proud to be an Aussie, the pastor said.

Gusto Restaurant provided the perfect backdrop for the event.

Lunch fights endometriois Gusto Restaurant played host to the inaugural Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty Ladies Lunch that not only delighted the attendees with culinary delights but also contributed significantly to the cause of Endometriosis Australia on Friday 27 October. This philanthropic event, organised with purpose and flair, successfully raised an impressive $2500 to support the ongoing efforts

against endometriosis. Gusto Restaurant, known for its delectable cuisine and chic ambiance, provided the perfect backdrop for an afternoon filled with camaraderie, compassion, and charity. As ladies from the community gathered to enjoy a sumptuous meal, the atmosphere buzzed with conversations and laughter, cre-

ating a sense of unity among attendees. The highlight of the Ladies Lunch was not just the culinary experience but the shared commitment to making a positive impact. Through a combination of ticket sales and an abundance of generous donations from local businesses, the event successfully raised $2500 to support Endometriosis Australia.

This financial contribution will go a long way in advancing research, awareness, and support for those affected by endometriosis. The success of the Ladies Lunch wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of the community. Local businesses and individual contributors rallied together, demonstrating the power of collective action in driving positive change.

Colourful Christmas market By Jim Fagan Ceramics, hand-crafted batik scarves, bags, embroidery delights, even haiku booklets— Wallace House, the home of Noosa Arts & Crafts (NSACA), has been the place to shop every year since 1993 for unique Christmas gifts. And this year, to celebrate its 30th anniversary, its artisan crafters are offering their highquality products at prices to meet the rising cost of living. “We’ve always tried to keep our Christmas Market reasonably priced,” said president Jan Bentley who has been with the association for 22 years. She told Noosa Today. “Everything seems to be going up so this year we have tried especially hard to try to make the presents round the tree affordable.” “And there are lots of choices. The embroidery group, for example, has over 60 new items for sale.

“Fabric arts have a wonderful selection of purses, totes and bags and there are full tables of pottery in the Ceramic Studio on the ground floor.” “Every item is handcrafted and created by members from quality materials.” She said Wallace House had 370 plus members and 25 groups meeting for some form of creative activity like painting or knitting. “We have a haiku class and it has produced a booklet of original haiku poems for the market.” Jan said all the proceeds from the Christmas market would go to the upkeep of Wallace House. “We are an independent not for profit Association and rely heavily on these fundraising events to improve and maintain our creative facility”.

The Drowning with Bryan A large and enthusiastic crowd filled the Boathouse last Friday night for the Noosa launch of Aussie icon and actor Bryan Brown’s first novel, The Drowning, presented by Annie’s Books on Peregian. The international screen star took a career sidetrack in 2021 when he published his first book, the well-received short story collection, Sweet Jimmy, which was so successful his publishers urged him to turn his hand to a novel. The result is a fast-paced murder thriller set in a beach town not unlike the one he and wife Rachel Ward call their second home on the NSW north coast. Over a fabulous dinner and a very special Noosa sunset, Bryan shared his journey from film to the printed page in conversation with our own literary icon, David Williamson, much to the delight of the audience. More of that in Phil Jarratt’s what-you-seeis-what-you-get profile in next week’s NT.

From the corporate world to his first art exhibition Former business owner and corporate sales manager Robin Ramage will be holding his first ever art exhibition at the Tewantin Noosa Community Bendigo Bank Art Space from Monday 13 November until Friday 15 December. He began taking art seriously during the pandemic, using painting as a form of meditation. “After searching the internet for online art courses, I discovered Scott Christensen Paint the Ocean and his art literally spoke to me,” Robin said. “The online courses and Scott’s tuition are very easy to follow and they are designed to inspire and create your own colourful creations. I’ve found I have used both Scott’s and my own style of painting to create some vibrant local beach scenes that are easily recognised.” The Sunshine Coast and Noosa have always been Robin’s favourite places, being inspired by the colour and beauty of the beaches and the Noosa River precinct. “I hope my paintings reflect the passion I have for the area,” he said. “Inspired by Noosa is a collection of my work that I am proud to present and I’m also very fortunate that the Bendigo Bank Art Space have allowed me this opportunity to show my art in a public venue,” he said. “My art is simple, I work with both acrylic and oil to create both colourful and bold scenes whilst others are more subdued and serene.”

Josh Pyke. Robin Ramage will be holding his first ever art exhibition at the Tewantin Noosa Community Bendigo Bank Art Space. Having had only minimal tuition in the past, he’s considered himself a novice and never considered becoming or being called an artist. “There is a great art community in the area which has groups from the beaches to the hinterland and I’m looking forward to becoming more involved with them,” Robin said. “Having recently rearranged my garage I now have a small area setup for a little studio where I find time just disappears as the colours flow onto the canvas.” Robin’s exhibition will be at the Community Bendigo Bank Tewantin Noosa Art Space, 114 Poinciana Ave Tewantin from Monday 13 November to Friday 15 December with all paintings available for purchase. He will also be at the art space every Tuesday and Thursday between 11am and 1pm.

Josh Pyke is coming to The J with his Revisions album Josh Pyke is a prolific songwriter, with a successful and critically acclaimed career both domestically and overseas. He hits the road this November to showcase his album Revisions, and will be performing in Noosa on 1 December from 7.30pm at The J Theatre. Josh’s six studio albums to date have all debuted in the ARIA Top 10. Among numerous other honours, he has received four ARIA Awards, 10 ARIA nominations, and gold/ platinum accreditations. “I loved recording the studio versions

of these songs with piano, cello and accordion,“ he said. “People have hugely embraced the Revisions album, so I’m really excited to perform it live for the first time in these beautiful venues.” For these intimate performances, Pyke will be joined on stage by Elana Stone and Freya Schack-Arnott, who both appeared on the recorded album.

Record breaking flight Sunshine Coast pilots have welcomed and celebrated a 17-year-old solo aviator. Advanced Flight Theory (AFT) is a specialised aviation theory school based at the Sunshine Coast Airport. AFT recently celebrated its 30th year and trains a high percentage of Australia’s Airline Pilots to Air Transport Pilots Licence (ATPL) level, which is the highest qualification a pilot can hold. They are thrilled that Chloe Familton, the 17-year-old aviator circumnavigating Australia as a solo pilot, has chosen AFT to welcome her on the first overnight stop on the 7600nm journey around Australia. Chloe is excited to be setting out on her record-breaking flight, to be the youngest woman to circumnavigate Australia solo in a light aeroplane. She is proud of her remarkable aviation achievements at only 17 years of age. “I feel so blessed to have been able to follow my passion at such a young age, to reach new literal and metaphorical heights,” she said. Chloe’s journey will raise awareness and funds for the charity, A Start in Life, an organisation providing support for students under 25 years of age who experience financial barriers to achieving their educational potential. She is enthusiastic to support other young Australians to achieve their goals and says she values the mission of A Start in Life. “It is a small Australian charity who believe that young Australians without life’s necessities deserve a brighter future,” she said. Chloe departed her home base, Blue Sky

Chloe Familton is a 17-year-old aviator circumnavigating Australia as a solo pilot. Airways at Cessnock Airport early morning on 13 November, stopping for fuel in Port Macquarie before arriving at the Sunshine Coast Airport around 3pm. Her flight instructor and mentor, Janaya Di Pietro, is a previous AFT student herself and

recently visited AFT with Chloe to introduce her to the AFT team. Vanessa Adamson, AFT Operations Manager, has been delighted to follow Chloe’s progress in the lead up to the record-breaking project.

“We can’t wait to greet Chloe at the completion of her first flying day, our AFT family loves to celebrate the achievements and milestones of past, present and future students,” Vanessa said. Follow Chloe’s journey at chloefamilton.au

Students tee off with new sporting partnerships

Environmentalist scientist, Di Seels, who runs the permaculture garden program at Sunshine Beach State School, shares her wealth of knowledge with Year 6 learners.

Outdoor classroom day inspires play and learning This year, on 2 November, Sunshine Beach State School joined the global celebration of Outdoor Classroom Day. However, the Outdoor Classroom Day movement is more than just a single day of fun and learning. The objective is to inspire and celebrate outdoor learning and play year-round. The advantages of an outdoor classroom are numerous and well-documented. For starters, it enhances the general health of students. It boosts their motivation, reduces stress levels, and helps develop valuable life skills. Very importantly, it instills a deep appreciation for the environment and the joy of learning and playing outdoors. As adults reminisce about their happiest childhood memories, outdoor experiences often feature prominently. It’s where they honed skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity. The global Outdoor Classroom Day movement aims to convey that time spent outdoors is as pivotal for a child’s development as reading and writing. They emphasise that outdoor learning engages and excites children in remarkable ways, im42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 17 November, 2023

proving their health, wellbeing, and happiness. Children today spend less time outdoors than ever before, which is believed to affect their overall health, wellbeing, and development. Sunshine Beach State School believes that encouraging time outdoors, not just on Outdoor Classroom Day but every day, is the key to ensuring children grow up happier, healthier, and equipped with essential life skills. As the late Sir Ken Robinson once said, “Academic research shows that active play is the natural and primary way that children learn“. Sunshine Beach State School’s fortunate location adjacent to Noosa National Park makes it home to a diverse range of native flora and fauna. This unique setting, combined with spacious shady play areas and outdoor learning spaces allows students to connect with the environment on a daily basis, nurturing a deep sense of responsibility for the planet. Developing environmentally responsible learners is one of the school’s core values.

Sunshine Beach State School (SBSS) is going above and beyond to provide its students with unique sporting experiences that extend beyond the usual curriculum. For the fourth consecutive year, students in Year 6 have had the opportunity to explore sports not commonly found in primary physical education programs such as lawn bowls and golf. The initiative has been made possible through partnerships with the Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club and a professional golf coach, offering students a chance to step out of their comfort zones and into the world of various sports including lawn bowls and golf. In collaboration with the Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club, students were introduced to the world of lawn bowls, guided by volunteer coaches who brought their years of experience to the bowling green. For many students, it was their first-time setting foot on the lush green lawns, and they soon discovered the surprising challenge that lawn bowls presents. Some of the students reflected on their initial experiences and growth in the sport: Jazmine said, “It was really a lot of fun, and the instructors were very helpful, even though I tried hard I struggled to get the hang of it.“ Harvey added, “I liked it a lot. It was a lot of

fun to play with your friends and have a bit of competition. It was difficult but super exciting when our bowl got close to the kitty.“ The golf sessions brought an equally exciting change to the physical education curriculum, with a professional golf coach guiding students through the fundamentals of the sport. Emphasising stance, balance, and form, students embarked on a journey to master the tiny white golf ball. Competition among students was fierce as they vied to see who could send the ball the farthest down the oval. Here’s what a couple of students had to say about their golf experience: Koby said, “It was very interesting. Difficult at first, but as you practised more, it became easier and more enjoyable.“ Azarni said, “Golf was a great time out of class. We were able to partner up with our friends and learn how to swing an iron. The instructor was kind and patient with everyone.“ Mr Black, Year 6 teacher at SBSS, expressed his excitement about the initiative, saying, “This adds an element to our week that is exciting and out of the ordinary. It is fantastic witnessing different students shine with these less common but very challenging sports.“

SBSS Year 6 students take on the challenge of lawn bowls, partnering with Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club for a unique sporting adventure.

Noosa Tri boosts economy The Garmin Noosa Triathlon continues to provide a positive impact on the local community, with the 40th anniversary event benefiting numerous groups and areas. While much of the focus on the incredible racing performances on Sunday, including Ashleigh Gentle winning a historic 10th title and Kiwi Olympic medallist Hayden Wilde setting a new course best time on his way to a debut victory, the event continued to boost and benefit those involved away from race day. The 2023 Noosa Triathlon has already raised almost $1.2 million for charity, injected more than $28 million into the local economy, along with $50,000 in honorariums being provided to volunteer groups. The event also works closely with local businesses, with 20 from Noosa engaged to deliver a range of services, with an additional 12 contracted from across the Sunshine Coast. More people than ever before were able to be a part of the action, with the broadcast of this year’s event beamed into more places than ever before, with Super Saturday and Sunday’s elite race available through Kayo Sports, YouTube and Facebook. Geoff Meyer, managing director of Oceania for The IRONMAN Group, organisers of the Noosa Triathlon, said it was great to see the event continue to benefit the local community. “We were thrilled with the support from our athletes, the local community and businesses for the 40th anniversary of this much-loved event,” Meyer said. “The Noosa Triathlon is a highlight on the local events calendar, bringing athletes and their supporters from across Australia and around the world to the region and we look forward to it continuing to grow in the years to come. “The event team loved seeing the no vacancy signs up at hotels across the region, and with restaurants and cafes busy there was a great buzz wherever you turned over event week,” he said. “This event provides an up to $30 million boost to the local economy, with that flowing through to businesses of all sizes across countless industries. “It’s incredible to see that almost $1.2 million has already been raised for numerous charities, and with donations to continue to flow in for the next six weeks we look forward to seeing that total continue to grow,” Meyer said. The event provided a number of opportunities for the local community to be involved, including through the Noosa Run Swim Run, Tour de Noosa, ASICS Noosa Breakfast Fun Run, 2XU Noosa 1000 Ocean Swim, Noosa Superkidz and Tingirana Noosa Special Triathlon. A key partner for the Noosa Triathlon is Mater Smiling for Smiddy, with 350 athletes taking on the event and raising $590,000 along the way for the Mater Foundation. Rowan Foster, Director Corporate and Community Engagement, Mater Foundation, said that the Noosa Triathlon played an impor-

Through new targeted treatments, researchers are taking key discoveries from the lab to the clinic to improve patient outcomes.” While fundraising is a key part of the event for Mater Smiling for Smiddy, an added benefit is seeing people come together to train for a common goal and then race together. “Triathlon can be an individual sport, so the wonderful thing about being part of Team Smiddy is the purpose and a real sense of camaraderie amongst those that participate,” Foster said. “People from all walks of life and abilities come together across the weekend to make it about more than the finish line, dedicating their race to helping people fighting cancer.” The 40th running of the Noosa Triathlon saw thousands of athletes taking on a 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run. Noosa Triathlon is supported by the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland, and features on the It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar.

Tornadoes blow Outlaws away in table tennis finals The Tornadoes went into finals night at the Noosa Table Tennis Club as warm favourites. Their opponents the Outlaws had unexpectedly snuck into the finals on a countback and were certainly seen as the underdogs. The early matches went according to form. The Tornadoes wunderkind Jonny Pace, the most improved player in club, made heavy weather of Brendon Crabtree, finally accounting for him, 11-4, 11-13, 11-4, 8-11, 11-8. Next up was John Cocks for the Tornadoes who had no answer to Eli Kulugin’s barrage of forehands going down 11-3, 11-9, 12-10. The match was evenly poised at two games all. But the Tornadoes took charge of the match winning the next three games to establish a solid 5-2 lead. Things weren’t looking too good for the Outlaws. The Outlaws’ Steve Gardner attempted to

stop the rot by comfortably accounting for Jonny Pace 12-10, 11-4, 11-7. However the Tornadoes continued on their merry way, winning a match they weren’t supposed to. John Cocks with one of the heaviest chops in the club caused the first upset of the night. He downed Joe Laffey in five games, but only just, scrapping home in the fifth – 15 - 13. Things were looking a bit grim for the Outlaws trailing 3 – 6. And there was to be no silver lining in this black cloud. The Tornadoes took five of the next seven games to end up with a comfortable 10-5 win on the night. Player of the match was 17 year old Zac DiFabrizio who won his three singles and helped to make the Tornadoes’ victory possible. Noosa Table Tennis club plays every Wednesday at the Noosa Leisure Centre from 6.45pm, come down for a social hit, all are welcome.

Families fish the beaches Starting with the beach, the Noosa North Shore came alive with plenty of families heading up for a day’s fishing. The kids love catching dart and whiting in the close gutters, with pippies, yabbies and beach worm perfect baits for these feisty little fish. If you are not into collecting your own baits, then prawns, cured worm and squid will get you catching. For the more serious angler, the night fishing is the go with some bigger tailor, trevally, bigger bream and even the odd jewfish on offer. The beaches just north of Rainbow have become a hot spot for quality whiting over the last couple of weeks. The start of the run-out tide seems to be the best fish with some real elbow slappers amongst them. For the Rock hoppers, the Noosa National Park, Double Island, and the Rocks at Yaroomba are all prime spots for snapper, sweetlip and long tail tuna. Jewfish are also a great catch, and plenty of these have been taken from the rocks. Larger baits of fresh mullet, bonito fillet and tailor fillet are all great baits when it comes to chasing jew. In the Fresh, Borumba Dam is a great place for those with a boat to get into those bigger bass and saratoga. With water temperatures rising, the bass should be very active and can be taken on sub surface lures including Dawia Double Clutch and the Duo Realis cranks. First light has been the best time, with fish feeding very hard. Frog profiles and Vortex spinnerbaits have also claimed some fat bass and toga during the daytime. If the fish are schooled up and you are struggling to get a hit, then working a Micro jig through the schools can quite often get a reaction bite. In Tin Can and Rainbow things are also on fire with the mangrove jack chewing hard. Water temps are increasing so these fish are in good numbers.

Travis caught this nice flathead from the Noosa River. In Noosa, Jewfish numbers are also very good with plenty of soapy and larger fish taken around the deeper holes along the Ski Run stretch and the mouth of Lake Cooroibah. Larger paddle vibes and swim baits have been working well, with the Zerek Live Mullet a real favourite with anglers. Around the Tewantin stretch of the river, flathead numbers have been good with plenty of larger females taken on soft plastics. The Keitech 4 inch Easy Shiner soft plastics has been fantastic on the flathead. These lure are made of a vinyl material and swim beautifully. Make sure you are using the correct weighted jig head to get you to the bottom with a slow roll across the bottom seeming to be the most productive recovery.

The Frying pan has been good for whiting with plenty of fish taken on live beach worms. On the offshore scene there has been plenty on offer with both pelagic and reef species on offer. Sunshine reef has been fishing well for grass sweetlip, Venus tusk fish, squire and Coral trout. Some thumping great trout have been caught on live baits, with tusk fish and sweetlip being taken on pilchards and squid. Long tail tuna are still about in good numbers with both metal slugs and smaller sick baits claiming some nice fish. There are still plenty of Mackerel hanging around and they are taking large trolled baits like whole bonito and slimy mackerel. Nomad DTX minnows have been the stand out lure for catching these fish with their deep

diving, and can be trolled at up to 12 knots. North Reef has produced good catches of maori cod, tusk fish, sweetlip cobia and a few nice size pearl perch. Out off Double Island reefs, there have been good snapper, pearl perch and moses perch, with some nice AJs coming from the deeper water.

Thunder’s top three wins By Randall Woodley Quote from an Indian cricketer“If you train hard, winning is easy. “If you train easy, winning is hard.” It seems that many of the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder players did train hard and as a result the three top grades and the women’s team all came home last weekend after winning their matches. There were some good individual performances, but the outstanding figures of the weekend were registered by the veteran pace bowler, Mike Thomson who took eight wickets in Third Grade. FIRST GRADE: After Day 1 Caloundra had scored 176 and Thunder were 5 for 186. The home team declared before the match started believing that this would give them the best chance of an outright win. With Talon Reichert selected for Scorchers the boys welcomed back Scott Aufderheide who took the new ball with Zac Murray. Both bowled good testing opening spells with Scott getting the first breakthrough but Caloundra battled patiently through the first hour. Michael Eckard came on to pick up 2 wickets in an over with Ben Laughlin taking one the next to see Caloundra go from 1-43 to 4-44. Ben Potter was next into the attack and it was all spin for the rest of the innings, leg spin from Ben and off spin from Mick to bowl them out for 86. Ben Potter took 3-10 and Michael 4-39. Thunder came out to chase 77 for the outright and played aggressively but not very disciplined. They passed the target after losing six wickets with Andy Batten top scoring with 24 and Cooper Lea finishing the job off. Not their greatest batting of the season but the players sacrificed wickets chasing quick runs which saw the team achieve the outright result. The win sees Thunder two points off 1st place and taking on top placed Coolum next week at Read Park. The match will be played over two days, Saturday and Sunday, commencing at 11:30am. SECOND GRADE: Day 2 of their match against the Caloundra Lighthouses, the boys resumed their first innings at 8-217, hoping to get 250. However they were soon all out for 225. Knowing they had a long day in the field ahead and a decent total on the board, the Thunder players had to stay patient with the ball and catch well at the start. Luke Smalley and Josh Christensen opened the bowling. It was when Ollie Wilson came on to bowl that wickets begun falling and eventually the boys were able to roll the Lighthouses for 135. Top bowling figures went to Luke Smalley 4-33, Tyron de Kauwe 2-19 with Christensen, Ollie Wilson and Josh Davis picking up

Richard Lee (43) and Farran Cooke (32) falling late in the day. All in all a good result with a win and a few things to work on for next week. FOURTH GRADE: Day 2 - Fallon Solutions Div 4 v Coolum @ Dale Officer Oval. Thunder lost Bobby McGhee, during the week with injury and Under 15 player Fenn Peddie stepped up to replace him. Out to pass Thunder’s score of 243, the Coolum top order made an early stand to get to 2-83 before the crucial breakthrough. From there the game ebbed and flowed with Coolum keeping up with the run rate but Thunder kept themselves in the game taking regular wickets. With Coolum at 6-148 the game was in the balance but two of their junior players were nothing short of sensational and put on a 100-run partnership to get Coolum over the line to secure a narrow victory. A tough, close loss for the team but they will be looking for that first win of the season next week against Maroochydore. Best of the bowlers was Aedan Mayo 3-53 ( off 18 overs. UNDER 15s: Resumed at Caloundra, 5-49 chasing 101. Unfortunately the run chase did

not eventuate and the team were bowled out for 60. With plenty of time left in the day and a lead of only 40 runs on a pitch doing a bit, the boys got fired up. Rory Ramsden (2-10 off 7) had immediate success which saw Caloundra 2-5 in the 3rd over, but they were able to recover and bat out the morning. A tough game for the boys but only their first loss of the season and no doubt they’ll bounce back next week in the first of the One -Day games. UNDER 13s: Tewantin-Noosa Storm v Maroochydore. The Storm team bowled first and were able to restrict the opposition to a total of 99 runs. Best bowler for Storm was Sam Wells (3-14). In reply, the Storm boys made 7 for 105 to win the match. Top scorer was Henry Kerr, 27. Good win for the team. WOMENS GRADE: The girls had a good win over the Glasshouse Rangers on Sunday. They were able to restrict the Rangers for 4-106 off their 20 overs and passed the target in 16 overs. Top scores for the Thunder were Petrina McAulay 30* Tracey Diprose 30* and Vicki Stewart 18.

Under 15 player, Eddie Weychardt bowling against USC. one wicket each. With about 90mins in the day the captain asked the players to have a hit and that is what many of them did. At stumps Thunder were 5-184 with top scorers, Jack Caspers 62, Tristan Griffin 29, Luke Smalley 27 and Ollie Wilson 28* A very good first victory for the team. Next weekend the boys are at Nambour playing a two-day match against the Cutters. THIRD GRADE: After posting a disappointing 136 run first Innings total last week and having Yandina 4-56 at the end of play, the Heads of Noosa TNT 3rds had a job to do to defend their score and gain first innings points. With tight bowling and great fielding, wickets fell at fairly regular intervals, Yandina were bowled out for 81, a 55-run lead for the Thunder. Wicket takers for Thunder were Luke Anstey 2-32, Richard Lee 1-1 and an astounding effort from the veteran, Mike Thomson picking up 8 for 39 off 22 overs. Heading back out with around 55 overs left for the day Thunder finished on 7-123 with

Reforms to improve e-scooter safety for everyone Reforms, welcomed by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton were introduced into Queensland Parliament last month in the form of the Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 intended to improve the safety of riders, drivers and pedestrians alike, including harsher penalties and new offences for riders who ride without due care and attention. This was following the Independent Member for Noosa’s advocacy for safety improvements and better enforcement in shared spaces such as pathways, and also for better compliance monitoring of regulations by users of electric bikes and scooters. “The devil is always in the detail and we look forward to researching this as we do with every Bill that comes before Parliament to ensure it covers the concerns raised by our community,” she said. “We have also requested clarification if these efforts include increased enforcement to ensure electric bike and scooters on Queensland roads and footpaths meet Australian Design Rules which sets out that electric bike motors have to cut out at 25km/ hour. In addition, that accompanying speed limitations will be utilised and enforced on shared pathways for greater safety.“ Transport and Main Roads Minister’s response to Ms Bolton acknowledged the

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton community’s concerns with the current legislation framework for riders and other path users. In particular, important road safety of-

fences contained within primary legislation that either do not apply to riders or apply inconsistently to riders and other path users. To address these inconsistencies, the pro-

posed Bill introduces road safety amendments that will make it an offence for the rider of a scooter or bicycle to ride without due care and attention on a road-related area, such as a footpath or shared path. The new laws will also align post-crash obligations for all drivers and riders and will ensure that everyone involved in a crash has the same rights and responsibilities regardless of where the crash occurs. The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) also advised they were aware that some devices available for purchase in Australia or online can be easily modified to remove speed limiting software that ensures they are compliant with the current 25 km/h maximum speed limit. TMR has taken steps to ensure that police have appropriate tools available to them to detect and take enforcement action against riders exceeding speed limits. For further information and updates on this including current speed limits, head to Noosa 360 at sandybolton.com/noosa360. For those who missed the Parliamentary Committee consultation on this bill, contact Sandy’s office on 5319 3100 or via noosa@ parliament.qld.gov.au with any feedback, which form part of her debate speech in Parliament.

The competitive spirit of Noosa athletes shone through at the recent titles.

Marlon Andrews will compete in the U14 100m and 200m sprints in the Australian All School Championships.

Five Noosa athletes competed in the Queensland Sprint Kayak Titles last weekend.

More Caza Club success Jiu Jitsu at the recent Grappling Industry and Pan Pacific ( Jiu Jitsu) Championships for 2023 our local Caza Jiu Jitsu Club came away from both titles with great results. At the Grappling Industry championships held at the South Pine sports complex the Caza club finished in second place for overall academy, for kids and teens. With a total of 1892 points this was indeed a great achievement as the club had only a total of 10 competitors competing. When we consider that, on the day, there was an estimated 1000 competitors from a total of 50 teams competing, their accolades were well earned. Results for the day speak for themselves with a total of 23 medals, 10 gold, nine silver and four bronze. The gold medal recipients were Joel Millar one, Jordan and Morgan Van Der Walt two each, Louise Wanre and Ava Greason also won two, and Katie Chandler one. In the silver medals, Zoe James-Collier, Cassius Osborne, and Faith Tobin two each, and Ashley Greason, Kake Warne and Katie Chandler one each. The bronze medal winners were Joel and Joshua Millar, Jake Wanre and Ty Chandler. The Pan Pacific Championships which were contested from 27 to 29 October, were held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. This is the biggest competition held in Australia and is run by the IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu Just Federation). Considering that this is the biggest competition in Australia, the results were again very good with a medal count of nine medals, four gold, two silver and three bronze. Gold medals went to Jyssica Lian, Daniel Svoboda one each, Felix Rias two gold open weight silver and bronze, and Samson Barton, silver and James Smith, two bronze. As we say the results speak for themselves. To come home from two tournaments with medal counts such as these tells us that the standard of coaching and discipline set down by Head Sen-sei, Professor Yoshi Hasegawa, and passed on by his coaching panel, is second to none. Yet another of our local sporting clubs that stands with the best in Australia. Outriggers Hot off the press from Outriggers HQ in Chaplin Park, where the whips are really cracking, comes the news that the Noosa Outriggers are in the process of organising all aspects necessary to ensure that the iconic Noosa River Race, to be held on 2 December will be a day to remember. In the words of club spokesperson Colin Jones, “There is so much to do to put on a race like this knowing that we can expect hundreds of competitors. Our organising committee has crossed the Ts and dotted the Is on all of the applications to Maritime Services Queensland and Noosa Council.

Professor Yoshi Hasegawa, left, receives the award for Caza club which finished second overall academy at the Grappling Industry championships. the hungry competitors. “We have organised first aid, conscripted people to help manage traffic and parking, spoken to our neighbours and set up a roster for our support boats and crews. Our fingers are crossed for a fine sunny weekend: and hoping that all goes well,” he said. To organise such an event and have it succeed is not just a great thing for the sport, but also for the community at large. It brings people into our town, helps to promote the name of Noosa and also, small as it may be, helps to promote one of our major necessities - tourism. Sport gets people mixing. Sport gets people talking and, above all, sport puts bums on seats. So, to all at the Outrigger Club, management, coaches, paddlers, families and workers who have chosen to be part of the incentive and support such an iconic event - well done. Rowing On the weekend the first round of the 2023/24 boat season for the Queensland Cup, was held at Alexandra Headlands. This round, named The Zenos, had only two Noosa crews entered, but all round it was a very satisfactory result. Boat captain Adam Hammersley said, ‘’We had both crews rowing open men’s re-

serve grade. Boat sweep Mick Gardner’s newly formed crew known as the Noosa Dodos made it through to the semi- finals. This was a great effort for the crew as it was their first- time rowing at a carnival. With a good wave running, it is sure to help build self-confidence.” The other crew, the U23s, was under the control of veteran sweep Dave Tomba. Known as the Noosa Pterodactyl, for them the carnival was a double header. First thing was in the semi- finals, (which just happened to be only the second time that they rowed at a carnival), when they climbed on to the wave of the day. Holding the big one all the way to the beach, they won by 10 lengths. This secured them a place in the final and a gutsy effort saw them finish third to win the bronze medal. Considering that both crews were virtually novices, it was a great confidence builder and the experience was invaluable. Kayak titles On the weekend the Queensland Sprint Kayak Titles were held at Coomera Lake on the Gold Coast. From Noosa we had five athletes compete and of these three raced for the first time. According to coach Sharlene Kelly all did an exceptional job. The Sunshine Coast Paddle Sports Club which all athletes are members of, won the overall point score. The medal tally consists of the follow-

ing. Ollie Dilliward finished the Qld. club competition with one gold, four silver and two bronze medals. Zara Cross finished with three silver and one bronze; Liam Fell, one gold, two silver and three bronze, and Tom Maker, three gold and two silver. Tom also competed in the Qld School Titles and came home with two silver and one bronze medal. Grace Davies also competed at the Qld School competition and finished with one gold. Interesting to note that Ollie Dilli ward, Zara Cross, Tom Maker and Grace Davis are members of the Sunshine Beach Surf Club and Liam Fell hails from Noosa. In summarising, coach Sharlene Kelly said, “It is exciting for the future of sprint kayaking in Noosa with the weekend presenting the most athletes from the area ever to compete at a state titles. Most of the athletes have just started paddling and this was their first competition. “Their competitive spirit really shone through and they are hungry to improve and get faster. We get to paddle and train on the best river in the world so, I can see our squad is going to grow in strength and numbers very quickly. “I now see a strong competitive future for sprint kayaking in Noosa. This will lead into the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.” To listen to coach Kelly is similar to listening to head coach of Noosa Athletics Mick Hooper. Both are very positive and are doing everything possible by planning and encouraging our youth to think ahead, be positive and plan for the future. It becomes obvious that some of our youth, are in the right hands. Athletics This Saturday will be the Queensland Athletics Relay Championships in Brisbane. Our Noosa Athletics Club has entered 10 teams for both track and field events in U14, U16, U18 and Open age groups, male and female. ‘’These championships are always very competitive but also lots of fun, bringing everyone together, in a team environment,’’ said coach Mick Hooper. For two of Noosa’s young athletes, Luca Gerrard and Marlon Andrews, it will be a great hit-out as they prepare for the Australian All School Championships in Perth from the 8-10 December. Luca will contest the U15 Triple Jump 3, Marlon the U14 100m and 200m sprints. As they will be coming up against the finest Australia has to offer, we wish both all the very best. Once again, we find Noosa’s young athletes from unheralded sports, such as Jiu Jitsu, kayaking, little athletics and weightlifting, competing against the best Australia has to offer. Not only competing but also making the finals in their chosen events and, in some cases, coming home with medals.

Laura takes the drop and breaks a record.

Picture: WSL

Laura takes the big drop Australia’s Laura Enever, one-time junior champion, surf glamour queen and now World Surf League commentator and big wave guru is a woman of considerable achievement and a big fan base, but for the 31-year-old from North Narrabee,n the champagne lost its fizz pretty quickly last week when her crowning glory, a Guinness World Record for “the largest paddle-in wave ever ridden by a female” was called into question by surfing’s rampant blogosphere. And before we get into this, let’s make one thing perfectly clear: Laura is a great surfer whose big wave accomplishments are beyond dispute. As the WSL’s Jessi Miley-Dyer put it, “Laura is fearless, committed, and a real inspiration”. But the wave that put her into the Guiness Book of World Records, one she caught on 22 January 2023 at one of Oahu’s outer reefs, which measured 43.6 feet from crest to trough, was one she didn’t make. To put it into the competitive parlance, she didn’t ride out. In fact, looking at the video you could even make a case that she didn’t complete the drop. But what a drop! On and on it went, and when you watch the video you can almost hear her heartbeats. And then she gets snuffed by a mountain of whitewater, and that’s all she wrote. Except for the Guinness entry. The problem is that Laura didn’t ride out of possibly the biggest wave a woman has ever paddled into. But Guinness doesn’t stipulate exactly what constitutes a ridden wave. Social media went berserk about this, while recognising the heroic achievement in taking off on the beast. A couple of comments: “It can’t be a world record if she wasn’t able to complete the drop. Big props though, Laura, for even trying to paddle into such a beast!” “Hats off to her, absolutely charging, but more of a wipe-out, the lip landed on her. Give her female wipe-out of the year.” Well, I give her G for guts, which is what she has shown so many times, but the Guinness mob needs to get its criteria straight.

It wasn’t Mono’s week, but here he is ripping in the early rounds. Pictures: ISA

Australia’s Emma Dieters on a good-sized wave at HB.

Say it ain’t so, Mono! It’s not the first time that multiple world adaptive surf champ Mark Mono Stewart has lost a world title, but it always hurts me when he does, because he’s a very special mate, and he’s still competitive at that level in his 60s. So even bowing out early is an accomplishment, and I know Mono will be back for more. But Mono’s elimination in round two of last week’s ISA world para-surfing championships at cranking Huntington Beach, California opened the way for others to shine, and I know that Mono is such a sportsman that he would appreciate that. In fact his old sparring partner Sponge Williams from Wales took out the gold in the men’s kneel division, with our Red Dog Wheatley taking bronze.

Other Aussies to take gold included Joel Taylor in the men’s prone 1, and Emma Dieters in the women’s prone 1, but perhaps the most interesting gold medallist was French/Australian Laurie Phipps, whose gold in the women’s stand 2 helped the French to team gold for the first time. Laurie, who divides her time between Point Lonsdale in Victoria and Hossegor in France, is the daughter of renowned international surfboard designer and shaper Mark Phipps. A couple of years ago, still a teenager, Laurie had her foot severed in a horrendous motor cycle accident. A girl of true grit, who had grown up on a surfboard, she just got back to work, taking the French para surf title earlier this year to qualify for her second para world titles. Well, she delivered, and I’m sure my friend Phippsy is a very proud dad.

FOOTNOTE: Just after lunch on the eve of the triathlon two weeks ago, I looked out of my home office window and saw a woman, with three children trailing behind, wheel an overladen supermarket trolley onto the public park on the riverfront across the street, pull up next to a clump of trees and start making camp. It’s a lovely park, so I couldn’t fault her choice, but overnight camping is not allowed. I watched as she struggled to set up her tents in the hard earth, then went over to investigate. Clearly she was homeless and also unwell, needing to lie down frequently. I helped her with the tents and also offered her family the use of our laundry toilet (accepted) while trying to work out what I could do next to avoid her being moved on with nowhere to go next. After speaking to several homeless helplines (admittedly on a weekend) with no result, I ended up calling Sandy Bolton, our MP who has been very close to homeless issues. She advised me to call the police. What, and get her chucked off the park with nowhere else to go! No, she said, they will know the case and find somewhere else for her in the short term. Sandy was right, of course, and when I finally connected with local police, they arrived before nightfall and took the tents down and re-established this poor woman and her children in a shelter. My point here is that I’d never been confronted with homelessness in this way before, and I didn’t know what to do. Do you? It’s a reality in our town, and so many generous people are working to alleviate it. But if you’re a first responder, you need to have a clue, and sadly, I didn’t.

RECORD DAY AT MARGARITAVILLE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY MARKETED as a tribute to a classic 1920s Queenslander with Noosa River views and a tropical twist, the cleverly named Margaritaville at 33 Ward St, Tewantin, had Tom Offermann Real Estate listing agents Michael McComas and Rebekah Offermann in a spin, with record numbers across all media platforms and channels during the campaign. It was a perfect day on Saturday for the auction that attracted more than 100 people admiring the gracious and intelligently designed home. The sure-footed revitalisation, sensitively and lovingly decorated residence had been honed and toned without shedding its beautiful heritage charm. The excitement started with an opening bid of $2m and culminated with a final $3.2m bid, rousing applause for the local couple who had a dream-come-true special moment and a new record for a residence on a single site in Tewantin. LUXURY WATERFRONT HOME SELLS It was a case of first in, best dressed at 59 Saltwater Ave, Noosaville, in the popular and prestigious Noosa Waters estate. Tom Offermann Real Estate listing agents Michael McComas and Rebekah Offermann welcomed the first potential buyers to their first open for inspection. An offer was made on the spot and accepted, for the captivating four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront entertainer which is perfectly poised on a plum corner position. Needless to say, all parties were ecstatic. ORIGINAL PEREGIAN CHARMER It is a great opportunity in one of the best streets in Peregian Beach.

A five-bedroom, four-bathroom, five-car multi-level house at 11 Pelican St, Peregian Beach, is set for auction at 2pm Saturday, 18 November. 371861 goes to auction Saturday, 18 November, at 2pm with Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate. “It has been 35 years with the same owner,’’ Tracy said, “ ... a classic home, that was originally four flats called Pelican Flats and now it’s two. “The original sign is still there. “This would make a wonderful building opportunity but can be a home by the beach or rented. “It is in great proximity to the village 450m to the coffee shops, even less to the bakery and the sand is about the same distance.’’ The multi-level house is one of 25 beachside properties in Pelican St. It comes with 180-degree pelican’seye views from Sunshine Beach to Point Arkwright, Mooloolaba, and beyond. It reminds you of beach holidays and people are recognising the opportunity this presents, Tracy said. “It is a generational opportunity wonderful for teenage children or as a come-and-go home.’’ Interest so far has been local, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Off the dining area, through the kitchen, is another living space and terrace with a north-easterly aspect and those broad views of the ocean and coastline. Downstairs is a laundry and two areas designated as ‘flats’. They bring with them an assortment of living, bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom spaces. Both flats have a terrace and a side entrance which lead to car spaces streetside, as well as the rear garden where there’s a shed and native bird-attracting plants such as bougainvillea, frangipani and golden cane palms. This Saturday, Tracy also takes 13/287 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, to auction at 11am. The spacious three-bedroom, twobathroom riverfront apartment in Offshore Noosa has been attracting local interests and others owning in the building or the area. PRIVACY IN PRIME POSITION Those inspecting the three-bedroom, twobathroom house at 25 Hill St, Sunshine Beach, are delighted with its position close to the beach and village, but also by the

fact it is a completely finished property. Tiffany Wilson of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property to auction on Saturday, 25 November, at 11am. Opposite the T-intersection with Ross Cres, it offers private, seaside sophistication that has been created from sustainable materials. “Everyone has said it is a nice surprise,’’ Tiffany said. “That it feels fantastic. “It is filled with natural light all day. “Upstairs, the design means consideration has been given to the orientation to the north east. “Everyone says it has surprisingly good energy.’’ The response so far has been from those looking to walk in to a property that is ready, and not to be held up with building delays. There are those local buyers who want to downsize, the Brisbane interests looking to lock up and leave, and interest from Sydney as it comes with downstairs separation for guests. The interior design is centred around volumes of space, which expand and compress both horizontally and vertically. The northerly aspect and lofty ceiling heights bring natural light onto the spotted gum flooring. noosatoday.com.au

Interest in the Como apartment has been a combination of those positioning to downsize and appreciate single living; and investors who already have property in the area. “We have been seeing people from country Victoria, locals looking to downsize, and others inspecting on behalf of family and friends,’’ Melanie said. “Then there is interest from other owners in the complex or the precinct … repositioning themselves in the same area. “New Zealand interests are active, as are southerners.’’

ON THE COVER

EMBRACING THE CONTEMPORARY STYLE DESIGNING an uber contemporary albeit understated elegant showpiece in the dress circle position of an exclusive enclave, was a rigorous exploration by renowned award-winning architect Trevor Reitsma, to articulate and integrate large spaces and structure into the natural environment. A charismatic north-facing facade with slatted grilles, evokes real estate envy, has the serious cachet of a Noosa Heads’ address, and is mere minutes to Laguna Bay and the Noosa National Park. Step inside. The eye immediately engages with endless polished concrete flooring and vaulted ceilings, some soaring through the void to the upper level. They show-off the light-drenched, numerous oversized living, dining and leisure spaces to the max, an ingenious statement of design, form, functionality yet laid-back ambience. It’s impossible not to be distracted by banks of disappearing lanky floor-to-ceiling sliders on the eastern side. They coalesce seamlessly with the glistening aquamarine pool and the alfresco entertaining area. Thoughts of wonderful parties come to mind. The custom-designed, capacious L-shaped kitchen with long stone-topped island bench and extension dining area, has the full complement of high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry and window splashback looking out to the garden of bright red heliconias. It will undoubtedly impress those who channel the worldly Nigella Lawson or just prefer a casual barbeque. Upstairs, the sumptuous king suite with high ceiling, louvres and wispy sheers, evokes a feeling of calm. It looks through the exterior slats to the pool, has an ensuite with charcoal wall and floor tiles, lustre feature, stone topped twobasin cabinetry, walk-in shower, separate toilet plus a walk-in robe. Two bedrooms have built-in robes, share a mocha tiled bathroom with bathtub and separate toilet. Central is a lounge, maybe a teen’s hangout space. Downstairs are two bedrooms. On the north side is a bedroom with an ensuite, retractable screen doors/separate entrance opening to a courtyard. In the west wing the bedroom has a built-in robe, and a bathroom is adjacent. Along the hall is a laundry, also the

media room with plentiful under-stair storage. “This impeccably designed lair of luxe melds effortlessly with the surrounding green spaces,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata. “Nearby are myriad walking and cycle tracks, the recreational centre has a 22m solar-heated pool, gymnasium and tennis courts plus it’s so close to Noosa Main Beach, a championship golf course, shopping precincts and essential services.” “A park is nearby, there are cycle and walking tracks around the estate, along Lake Weyba, through part of the Noosa National Park with its plethora of flora and fauna, and it’s just a 10-minute cycle to the Noosa Civic and Noosa Farmers’ Market.” Facts & Features: Approved for short term holiday rental House Area: 343m2 Land Area: 480m2 Designers: award-winning Trevor Reitsma of Reitsma & Associates, built in 2015; gardens by Spaces of Green About: polished concrete flooring; multiple living areas; raked ceilings, impressive voids; main incl. dining opens to partial undercover with 6.8m ceiling height; terrace 3.3m x 3m abuts pool; media room with storage/cellar space; upstairs retreat/leisure space; 5 Bedrooms – upstairs 3; king main with high ceilings, louvres, looks thru slatted exterior on poolside, wispy sheers, ensuite with charcoal wall & floor tiles incl. lustre feature, 2-basin stone topped cabinetry, walk-in shower; sep toilet & WIR; 2 with BIRs share mocha tiled bathroom with bathtub & sep toilet; downstairs 2 - 1 with BIR + bathroom + desk; 1 with ensuite + retractable screens on doors to courtyard/sep entrance; ducted air/fans; 2-car garage with sep side door entrance & dedicated storage/workroom Kitchen: custom designed L-shaped with 3.5m stone-topped island incl extension dining; LG 3 door fridge/freezer; oven/microwave, 6-hob gas cooktop & integrated dishwasher; walk-in pantry; study nook; window splashback out to crab claw heliconia; Exterior/Entry/Security: facade with slats; giant pandanus, timber walkway; massive pivot door; front courtyard ‘ring’ lighting & security; Swann doorbell with security camera; smart lock with WiFi front door lock system; 6.kw solar; electric pump pool heating; auto garden

DAZZLING NOOSA RIVERFRONT LOCATION THIS 3 bedroom single level apartment, encapsulates everything about being front row Noosa River. Similarly spectacular and plentiful, are effectively defined spaces all naturally light, bright and whitewashed with beachy sophistication throughout. What a great place for a barbeque, sitting around sipping afternoon drinks while watching the sunset over the river and Mt Cooroy with glimmering water in the forefront. All day long of course there flocks of seagulls biding time on the low tide sandbar, pelicans preening on the jetty, pleasure craft bobbing the waterway, eagles soaring above and the Noosa Ferry on its journey to and from the Hastings Street wharf. You can lie in bed overseeing the river views for that holiday lazy sleep-in and with its walk-in robe and ensuite, the master is complete.

The prized boutique complex of Las Rias, in a quiet cul-de-sac, is instantly recognized by the signature wall sculpture of a queen conch shell. Its prominent position on the main arm of the Noosa River at the very tip of Noosa Sound - the curve of a wide sand beach with private jetty and floating pontoon. “It is a year-round idyllic playground with back-to-back bookings and has a strong capital growth.” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate Agent Roark Walsh, who is taking the apartment to auction on Saturday 25th November at 1pm. Being so central, the hardest decision, while you can leave the car in its secure undercover space, is to take a short stroll to go to the quality restaurants and cafes in Quamby Place, or jump on the Noosa Ferry to either Gympie Terrace or Hastings Street. Options aplenty… ●
