Regatta fun By Margie Maccoll

A lot of fun and a touch of nostalgia has led to a resurgence in scow and lowrider moth dinghies and the staging this week of the The Scow and Lowrider Moth dinghy National Titles, returning to Lake Cootharaba for the first time in about 50 years. Hosted by the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club the event kicked off last Sunday with the BalatonDesign Invitation Race as competitors gauged each others skill level before the week-long regatta began on Monday. More than 30 of the historical 11 foot (3.5m) dinghies travelled from as far away as Western Australia to compete at the National Titles, the second national event following last year’s inaugural event in Sydney. The more historic scow and lowriding skiffs has been continuously active for many years but has taken a back seat to the foiling moth fleet which sees competitions with some of the worlds best known sailors participating at national and world titles. The foils which bring the hull or board out of the water reduce drag while increasing efficiency and speed have led to their dominance. But there has recently been a marked revival in the scow and lowrider fleets across Australia and also internationally. Continued pages 6-7
Aus Day heats up As controversy reigns over Australia Day celebrations across the country, Noosa Lions and Rotary are working together to host a festival for the whole community. Both Noosa and Sunshine Coast councils will host citizenship ceremonies on the day. But the decision by Sunshine Coast Council to cancel its Australia Day Awards ceremony has drawn criticism from Fairfax MP Ted O’Brien as both he and Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien have weighed into the Australia Day debate online. Ted O’Brien is ’fighting back’ with free Australia Day merchandise of his own.
Splashed with the message “Proud of our Country” and “Proud of our Flag”, complimentary bumper stickers are being offered by Mr O’Brien to his constituents as part of his call to “all proud Australians” to celebrate Australia Day with pride and patriotism on 26 January. “Where was the public consultation in my own community about this decision?” queried Mr O’Brien who accused the Sunshine Coast Council of removing Australia Day awards “on the quiet”. “I stand against any attempt to cancel or silence Australian patriotism. “Australia Day is meant to be a day of unity, to celebrate our liberal democracy, our values of freedom and equality, and to give thanks to
our ‘way of life’ which is the envy of the world. “At least citizenship ceremonies are set to proceed here on the Coast, but I’m astounded that councils elsewhere have gone even further by denying new Australians the opportunity to become citizens on our national day.“ This controversy follows a Brisbane Woolworths store being vandalised on Monday 15 January, after their decision to stop stocking specific Australia Day merchandise. Stores that will also not be selling the merchandise in 2024 include Big W and Aldi. Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien shared on Facebook, “In Wide Bay’s 2023 Community Survey, 81 per cent of respondents said they want to continue to celebrate Australia Day on 26 January and 91 per cent said the cost of living is
putting greater pressure on their household budget.“ “I don’t think Woolworths and Aldi are listening to Wide Bay,“ he said. ABC News reported that Reconciliation Australia, a non-profit that advocates for reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, welcomed Woolworths’ decision. “We are encouraged to see more and more Australians take time to re-evaluate what we want our national day to represent and how we can create a better country — one that all Australians, including First Nations people, are proud to celebrate,“ the group said in a statement.

As the wheels of education start turning once again, and the gates of local schools open to welcome eager students, it’s crucial for motorists to hit the brakes and pay heed to the increased activity on the roads. Sunshine Beach State School, like other schools across the state, is gearing up for the academic journey ahead, and with more than 570,000 students enrolled in Queensland state schools in 2023, the roads are set to become busier with the promise of even more young minds joining the ranks in 2024. Motorists, be prepared: the familiar sights of school uniforms and backpacks will soon be back in full force. With the commencement of the school year, it’s imperative to recognise that the streets surrounding educational institutions become shared spaces where caution and consideration take precedence. Queensland Police Service enforces a 40km/h speed limit in school zones, a vital measure to enhance road safety during peak school hours. This enforced limit serves as a protective cocoon around children, ensuring their journey to and from school is shielded from the potential hazards of fast-paced traffic. Parents and carers play a pivotal role in this safety stance. As you embark on the daily drop-off and pick-up routine, consider these tips to create a secure environment for your children and others during the bustling back to school week: 1. Buckle up for safety: Ensure your children are securely fastened in the appropriate child car seat for their age and size. The correct installation of the seat is
equally crucial for their safety during transit. 2. Mind the speed limit: Adhere to the 40km/h speed limit in school zones, remaining vigilant for children who might be crossing the streets. Your commitment to reduced speed contributes significantly to the overall safety of the school community. 3. Pedestrian priority: Always be mindful of pedestrians, especially when entering or leaving driveways. Prioritise their safety during busy drop-off and pick-up times. 4. Parking etiquette: Park and turn legally around schools. Avoid risky manoeuvres like U-turns and three-point turns during peak traffic times. 5. Strategic drop-off/pick-up: Utilise the school’s designated drop-off and pick-up area, ensuring your child exits the car through the Safety Door – the rear footpath side door, away from passing traffic. Never call out to them from across the road, as they might rush to you without checking for oncoming traffic. As Sunshine Beach State School opens its doors to another year of growth and learning, they wish to ensure that their year ahead is safe for all. By practising responsible road behaviour, motorists, parents and carers contribute to fostering an environment where young minds can thrive without compromising their safety on the streets. Drive cautiously, be vigilant, and make 2024 a year of safe and successful journeys for all students.

When you’re doing the work you’re meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus, regardless of what you’re getting paid. How do you know that? It feels so.“ JK Rowling: “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all — in which case, you fail by default.“ Winston Churchill: “You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Never give in. Never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

Noosa residents are set to have their say on shark nets during whale migration season this year.
A humpback caught in waters off the Gold Coast.
Shark net survey in Noosa By Abbey Cannan Noosa residents are set to have their say on shark nets during whale migration season this year, along with the support of a newly formed Shark Net working group. This follows the recent release of the death toll from Queensland’s lethal shark culling program from 2023, and footage of a tiger shark being stabbed in waters off the Sunshine Coast by Queensland Shark Control Program contractors. Humane Society International (HSI) Australia and Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) analysis of the shark culling program data found that in total 722 marine animals were either killed or found dead after being drowned in the nets or hooked on the lethal drumlines between 1 January and 31 December, 2023. Some of the non-target victims include dugongs, dolphins, turtles and manta rays. Of the 614 non-target animals caught, only 30 per cent were released alive. In the local area, two dugongs were caught and found dead off Noosa Main Beach and Alexandra Headland. HSI Australia and AMCS are now urging the Queensland Government to end the Shark Control Program and focus on modern strategies to protect swimmers. HSI Australia marine biologist Lawrence Chlebeck said these figures tell a story of a depressing disregard for precious marine wildlife. “How can we continue to let dugongs, dolphins and turtles suffer and die each year off Queensland beaches, and even in the Great Barrier Reef?“ “This data tells us plain and simple – nets and drumlines don’t discriminate. These wildlife death traps have a kill rate of 70 per cent for non-target animals. “We saw the footage last week of the tiger shark being brutally killed. Now we know that this scene may have replayed up to 322 times in 2023 - once for every target shark caught in South East Queensland, if it survived the initial

In October 2023, a meeting was called to discuss shark nets in Noosa, with invitations sent to 22 Noosa organisations, including SLSC, Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Sea Shepherd, tour operators, scientists, conservationists, wildlife rescuers and surfers. Independent Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton chaired the discussion, who said in her Noosa MP survey last year, 60 per cent of respondents supported removing the shark nets. Sandy has now reiterated the importance of data and evidence during consultations and decision making, with a survey of Noosa residents to be held in March 2024 regarding shark nets during whale migration season.
“A Shark Net working group was established last year, chaired by the local branch of the Surfrider Foundation,“ she said. “The latest responses to us from State Government remain unchanged from the previous advice that no changes would be considered until the trials currently underway have been completed. “To ensure you are informed of when the survey opens, please subscribe to our Newsletter as well stay updated via Noosa 360 at SandyBolton.com“ Department of Fisheries won’t consider shark net removal in Noosa until 2025 when the research program was completed.

Works to begin on dam
This will be the first major upgrade of Lake Macdonald Dam since its original construction in 1965.

Importantly, more than 150 local jobs are expected to be created over the life of the project. Survey works are currently underway onsite, with site establishment and lake lowering occurring over the coming months. Major work to construct the temporary cofferdam is
expected to commence mid-2024, following contractor appointment. Due to the significant nature of the project, some recreational use of the lake and surrounding areas will be disrupted during construction. However, recreation activities at Lake Macdonald, Lake Macdonald Park and
the Noosa Botanic Gardens will remain open. Seqwater will keep the community informed throughout the project and will hold information sessions early-2024 where the project team will be available to talk through the design and construction approach and answer any questions.

Seqwater has released the final design concept for the upgrade of Noosa’s Lake Macdonald (Six Mile Creek) Dam, with early works set to begin ahead of major construction in mid2024. Part of Seqwater’s Dam Improvement Program, this upgrade plans to enhance water security and enable the dam to withstand a one in 500,000-year flood event. Seqwater chief executive officer Neil Brennan said, “While Lake Macdonald Dam continues to operate safely, the upgrade will ensure the dam meets updated engineering and safety standards, taking into account extremely rare weather scenarios and climate change.” “The revised design will allow water to be retained in Lake Macdonald during construction, some recreation activities to remain open, reduced impact on aquatic life, plants and animals in and around the lake, and will ensure the Noosa Water Treatment Plant continues to operate for local water supply. “Projects of this scale are complex and require significant planning time and we thank the community for their understanding while we undertook this important work.” The dam improvement project involves building a new split-level concrete spillway and upper labyrinth and reconstructing the existing earth embankments. Following a comprehensive technical review undertaken in 2021 and 2022, the new optimised design will increase the dam’s capacity to withstand extreme weather events while also ensuring the dam remains operational during construction for water security and some recreation activities. Seqwater has worked hard to keep the lake water level as high as possible during construction. The lake will be temporarily lowered for construction work to occur safely, and a temporary cofferdam will be installed to support water security during construction. The Noosa Water Treatment Plant will continue to operate during construction. Minister for Water Glenn Butcher said, “I’m pleased to see progress on this critical project. This important upgrade will ensure the longevity of Lake Macdonald Dam so it can continue to provide water security and dam safety for years to come.” “Dams in Queensland are built to very high, internationally accepted safety standards, but methods used to estimate extreme weather and flood risks have changed significantly since some were built. “This is one of several important dam safety projects being undertaken by Seqwater. Since 2015, Kinchant Dam, Eungella Dam, Wappa Dam, Boondooma Dam, Leslie Harrison Dam, Fairbairn Dam, and Sideling Creek Dam (Lake Kurwongbah) have been completed across Queensland. “With construction starting soon, the upgrade is also set to boost local employment opportunities in the region, with around 150 jobs expected to be created over the life of the project.” This will be the first major upgrade of Lake Macdonald Dam since its original construc-

Regatta returns in style From page 1 “Everyone used to sail these, then they disappeared and foilers took off,“ said Mike Salter who established a Facebook group called Scow Moth and Lowrider Australia which is helping their return. “These old moths were built in the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s before they started foiling. I saw one I used to sail when I was 15 and thought, why aren’t we sailing these things - so we started finding old world champions, national champions and they all went - Yeah. “That’s why we’re all old, we used to sail them when we were 15, 16, and that was the best time we ever had. It’s an exercise in renaissance. “We were all sailing individually but we pulled it all together and started sailing again.“ Mike said now with children grown up, leaving him a bit of time and money, there was more opportunity to return to sailing the boats and adapting them while adhering to the basic form. “It’s the only development class left in Australia, that’s why they’re different,“ he said. “It’s the length of boat, the width of boat, the same size sail, then you can do whatever you like, “We’re picking up all kit from high-tech foilers. They’ve got high-tech that goes out of favour quickly. We pick it up.“ Mike has also been involved in helping source boats for fellow sailors. “It’s a labour of love. Everywhere we go everyone says, I used to sail one of those, where do I get one.“ After a lifetime sailing American Ian Clazie discovered the boats and having secured one, with Mike’s help, is competing in the nationals for the second consecutive year. “A lot of these guys raced on these when they were young, we didn’t have these in California. It’s so fun,“ Ian said. Cameron Price of Gladstone sailed an assortment of sailing vessels out of Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron throughout his

It was built by a cabinet maker in Brisbane in the early 1960s. “It needed a very good paint job. I changed a few ideas, modernised it a bit. We’ll see how it goes.“ It will be the first race in this boat for Cameron. Mark Matthews will also be racing for the first time in his moth in the sport he likens to “an old man’s vintage club“.
“What’s happened to this class of boat these are the old boats left behind, they’ve all had a bit of a revival,“ he said. The regatta will comprise world champions, national champions, experienced and novice sailors aged from teenagers to septuagenarians in sailing boats from brand new to 60 years old, competing for a range of prizes, including scratch, age and handicap. “We’ve got a unique situation,“ Mike said. “All boats are different vintages. We’ve built a yard stick. It gives everyone a weighting depending on age, rig, how old you are, so any-
one can win.“ In a time where sailing could be seen as getting too complex, too competitive and too expensive, the restoration of fleets such as the scow and lowrider moths, is providing a pathway both for the more mature and junior sailors to enter into competitive, fun and friendly racing in boats that still provide a thrill or two, Mike posted on Facebook. The final race will be held at 2pm on Saturday with winners’ announcements to follow. For more information visit the Scow and Lowriders Australia Facebook page.

Jellyfish stings land Woman airlifted four in hospital after fall RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crews airlifted a young girl to hospital, after she was stung by an unknown jellyfish on K’Gari (Fraser Island) on Sunday morning, then returned on Monday for a man aged in his 20s and again two hours later for an infant girl, both believed to have been stung by Irukandji jellyfish. In all three cases the rescue chopper was tasked to the western side of the island. Queensland Ambulance Service also transported a young boy from K’gari to the Gympie Hospital for treatment after a suspected Irukandji sting and he was later released from hospital. It’s believed the young girl was on a camping holiday with her family when the RACQ LifeFlight Critical Care doctor treated her about 10am on Sunday for an allergic reaction to a sting from a jellyfish of an unknown type and she was flown to Hervey Bay Hospital in a stable condition. On Monday, a helicopter crew was tasked to the island about 1pm, where LifeFlight’s critical care doctor treated the man and he was flown to Hervey Bay Hospital in a stable condition. The crew returned to the same location just two hours later, working alongside the aeromedical team from local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to treat the infant girl who was flown to Hervey Bay Hospital in a stable condition accompanied by a parent. Irukandji jellyfish are not new to the island with reports of stings having been made for decades. ABC reports Griffith University marine ecologist Professor Kylie Pitt said they knew Irukandji were produced up in North Queensland and it may well be that these individuals are catching a ride down on the current as adults. “We certainly know that [Irukandji] have
A young girl was taken to hospital after an allergic reaction to a jellyfish sting. been around K’gari for quite a long time, but we also have a lot more people in the water these days than what we used to, so the likelihood of being stung has also increased,” she said. QAS reports the Irukandji jellyfish is a small, extremely venomous species of box jellyfish approximately two centimetres in diameter, making it difficult for swimmers to notice in the water. Signs and symptoms of Irukandji envenomation may appear 5 to 45 minutes after the initial sting and include severe backache or headache, shooting pains in muscles, chest and abdomen, nausea, anxiety, restlessness,
vomiting and breathing difficulties QAS advise to manage Irukandji jellyfish stings: Call Triple Zero for an ambulance immediately carefully remove the casualty from the water avoid rubbing the sting area immediately douse the sting area with vinegar for at least 30 seconds. If vinegar is not available, carefully remove tentacles off the skin and rinse well with seawater regularly monitor and record the casualty’s pulse, breathing and conscious level begin resuscitation if necessary.

The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew winched a woman to safety last Saturday after she fell down a cliff and broke her leg. The woman was walking around a rock pool in the Bundaberg region when the incident happened. It is believed she fell just around two metres. An off-duty paramedic kept her stable before the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue aeromedical team arrived. The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic was winched down to the patient to assess her injuries just after 2pm. Due to the rocky terrain and lack of landing area, the rescue crew decided it was safest to winch the QAS Flight Paramedic, along with a stretcher, down to the patient. The helicopter pilot landed the aircraft nearby while the Flight Paramedic treated the patient and strapped her into the stretcher. The pilot then circled back to carefully hoist the aeromedical crew member and the injured woman back into the helicopter. The patient, aged in her 40s, was airlifted to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.

Police target anti-social behaviour Sunshine Coast police investigating alleged hooning and alleged anti-social behaviour across the area have now charged several persons with more than 50 offences. As part of Operation Victor Nemesis, officers from the Sunshine Coast Highway Patrol, Tactical Crime Squad, and with support from the Child Protection Investigation Unit, executed search warrants at local addresses on 10 January. As a result of the searches, it will be alleged that officers found and seized drugs, drug utensils, large quantities of money, digital devices and vehicles. Since Operation Nemesis began in October 2023, investigations have led to more than seven people being arrested on more than 50 charges and 60 traffic infringement notices (TINS). Among these charges was a 17-year-
old Tewantin boy, who was charged with five counts of dangerously operating a vehicle, one count each of wilful damage, possessing dangerous drugs, possessing a utensil, and issued 10 TINS. Officer in Charge Highway Patrol Sunshine Coast Senior Sergeant Shane Panoho said investigations are ongoing. “Safety is our top priority, so we will not tolerate hooning and anti-social behaviour on Sunshine Coast roads as it puts the driver and everyone else on the road in extreme danger,” he said. It is expected that more charges will be brought forward in the coming days following examinations of seized electronic devices. Anyone with information that may assist this operation are urged to contact police.

Event all about the turtles One simple idea and a whole lot of passion has created a legacy that’s removed more than 250,000 pieces of litter from Sunshine Coast beaches at a critical time during turtle nesting season. And now it’s time to celebrate a decade of helping turtle hatchlings make it to the ocean, thanks to a partnership between Sunshine Coast Council, Reef Check Australia, Unitywater, SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium and Noosa Council. The community is invited to come together to tidy up their local beach as part of the 10th anniversary of the annual Clean Up For The Hatchlings event on Saturday 3 February. Jodi Salmond, General Manager from Reef Check Australia, is one of the founding members. “Ten years is a lifetime for any program to survive, but the Clean Up For The Hatchlings event continues to thrive year after year,” Ms Salmond said. “This achievement is one to be celebrated – it is a testament to the ongoing passion and dedication of the wider Sunshine Coast community to look after our coast and wildlife above and below the surface of the water. “The event started with a conversation about how to best tackle the ongoing issue of marine debris in the region, some friends and a clean-up bag. “Over time, it has grown to be an annual event the community looks forward to, with a focus on connection to our coastal home, participating in cleaning it up and understanding how we all have a role to play. “I am truly looking forward to celebrating with everyone on February 3, for what is shaping up to be the best event yet!” How you can help the turtles Volunteers can register now to pick up litter at various beach locations between Noosa and

Sunshine Coast Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Peter Cox said that while every day is a possible beach clean-up opportunity, he was delighted to see our com-
munity coming together to help protect these threatened species every year. “We are a turtle-friendly community on the Sunshine Coast, and this is our chance to make a difference to our threatened turtle hatchlings,” Cr Cox said. “We’ve had 24 turtle nests laid so far this nesting season. “Cleaning up the beaches will give these little hatchlings the best start in life.” Event schedule for the day: 6am – 7.30am – meet at your chosen beach to clean it up.

Pay rise for new councillors The Commission, an independent entity established under the Local Government Act 2009 and chaired by former Mayor Bob Abbot, concluded its review of Queensland council remuneration categories on 1 December 2023. The review included consultation with Queensland councils and other stakeholders and considered the size, and geographical and environmental terrain of local government areas; the population of local government areas, including the areas’ demographics, the spread of population serviced by the local governments and the extent of the services the local governments provide; and any other matter relevant to the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of local government. At its general meeting on Monday councillors noted the changes with Cr Brian Stockwell describing it as a good review of remuneration.

Wildlife injury hotspots In response to significant community concern regarding wildlife road injuries in the Noosa Electorate, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton commissioned local wildlife ecologist Dr Elizabeth Brunton to complete a wildlife study. The project’s main aim was to map key road-kill hotspots and provide baseline information and recommendations for best-practice mitigation methods. “This study forms part of our advocacy to see a decrease in deaths and injuries and provide evidence-based solutions to the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and Noosa Council. Our wildlife organisations do an incredible job, and this report lays out ways governments can support what they do,” said Sandy. Eleven Noosa Shire roads were identified as hotspots including Eumundi-Noosa Rd, Louis Bazzo Dr, Kin Kin Rd, Sunrise Rd, Cooroy Noosa Rd, McKinnon Dr and Lake Cooroibah Dr, among others. Recommendations made were road specific and included maintenance of current koala fencing, night lighting, rope bridges, interactive signs, speed revisions and community education programs. “There is a unique opportunity here to implement innovative and localised mitigation solutions that suit the Noosa identity which prioritises both conservation and resident expectations, and I thank Dr Brunton for her work and assistance.” “Much was learnt over the months including that there was less data available prior to 2020, and it is hoped that this study will provide a ‘baseline’ and impetus for government to provide greater resources including funding to our volunteers to continue this collation so that mitigation efforts can be measured for effectiveness,” said Sandy. Dr Brunton is a wildlife ecologist and has
Independent Noosa MP Sandy Bolton. been conducting research on the impacts of urbanisation and roads on macropods in Southeast Queensland since 2014. “The widespread and increasing issue of wildlife deaths on Noosa roads is a growing concern for local residents and will require collaboration between local and state agencies and the community to address this urgent issue.” The full wildlife study is available at www.
bit.ly/NoosaWildlife and any feedback from Noosa Electorate residents can be emailed to noosa@parliament.qld.gov.au with the results provided to Noosa Council and TMR, as well any organisations who have requested. Sandy and Dr Brunton would like to thank all who assisted in data collection including our fabulous wildlife groups and volunteers and for all that they do. Special mention to WILVOS, Australia Zoo, Wildcare and Wildlife

This project was paid for with funds from Sandy’s office operating budget as she has never supported efforts that see Members of Parliament (MPs) advertised on signage, on drink coasters, or in other forms of paid advertising. She believes where possible these funds should be used to benefit the residents and community rather than the office bearer. For more information visit SandyBolton. com/Noosa360.

Council in surplus Noosa Council has posted a $1 million turnaround in its financial operating position in the mid-year budget review. Tabled at the first council meeting of 2024, from an initial operating deficit of more than $760,000 in August last year, the latest financial report shows a $304,000 surplus. “This achievement is on the back of a very challenging economic, resourcing and inflationary climate, so it’s a testament to the incredible work of all council staff and councillors that we have recorded such a significant surplus,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. Cr Stewart said Council’s strong financial position allowed the organisation to invest in community infrastructure, improve ageing assets and minimise rate increases. The financial turnaround is from prudent investment decisions with cash deposits to maximise the return on ratepayers funds along with improved revenue from Noosa Holiday Parks and Waste management. “It is such an excellent outcome, because like all businesses we continue to face increased labor costs, challenging supply chain disruptions, rising fuel costs and resourcing issues,” Cr Stewart said. The Mid-Year Budget review identifies that council is delivering $127 million in disaster funded projects, stemming from the February 2022 Noosa Floods. “Fully funded by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority, much of this work, including rebuilding the Black Mountain
landslip are already underway and it’s a massive undertaking by a council of our size. “The Disaster Recovery work coupled with Council’s annual Capital Works program means we are about to deliver a record $173 million in infrastructure work for our community,” Cr Stewart said. The

exclud-
ing Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) funded disaster projects, Council’s capital works program had decreased from $51.3 million down to $46.1 million, due to the reprogramming of multi-year projects to future years. “The figures show ratepayers that we continue to deliver high-quality, improved infrastructure and essential community services in a financially responsible way,” Cr Stewart said. “We continue to meet our sustainability financial ratios and adopt a prudent approach, so these figures highlight the robust financial health of Noosa Council.“

Erosion to be tackled Noosa Council has selected a preferred contractor to tackle severe erosion along the dog beach section of Noosa Spit. Mayor Clare Stewart said the aggressive erosion needed urgent action with Council to invest significantly to restore the battered shoreline and rebuild the beach. “These issues aren’t new. Noosa Council has been fighting erosion at the Spit ever since it was constructed in the 1970s and it remains an ongoing tussle with Mother Nature,” she said. “Unfortunately, the erosion has been so severe along the dog beach section recently that substantial work is needed to replenish and bolster the shoreline to protect the Spit.” A call for tenders went out last year, with Council this week endorsing Hall Contracting as preferred contractor – to be ratified on Thursday - and authorising CEO Larry Sengstock to oversee contract negotiations. The new contract will include sand nourishment and reprofiling of the beach. “The project will create two sand plugs – one at each end of the beach – to redirect flowing water away from the shore and back to the centre of the channel,” the Mayor said. This approach is as outlined in Council’s Shoreline Erosion Management Plan that establishes the coastal protection regime for the Noosa River Mouth and has been subject to expert independent coastal engineer review. Acting Infrastructure Services Director Shaun Walsh said the project would see around 16,600 cubic metres of dredged sand used to create the two sand plugs. “And around 62,650 cubic metres of dredged sand will be used to renourish the eroded beach,” he said. While the Noosa River entrance channel has constantly changing hydrology, it is hoped that this new channel will improve navigation in the area of the river away from
Council halted sand nourishment work at Noosa Spit last August. the congested riverbank. Sand will be dredged from an approved area of the channel. Council is also working with Maritime Safety Queensland and the preferred contractor to maintain navigation for vessels during the work. Council pulled the pin on an earlier contract in August as the previously selected con-
tractor couldn’t complete the work by the September deadline stipulated by the state in its works permit. Work must be finished by September 30 to meet the conditions of the permit issued by the state. “The permit allows for work to be undertaken between April and September, but we’ve
contacted the state seeking permission to begin work earlier to ensure the contractor has ample time to complete the project,” Cr Stewart said. Hall Contracting has a fleet of 14 dredges at its disposal, and has river and port clients across the eastern seaboard of Australia.

TAFE: Who were they? By Phil Jarratt It was hard to find a common element among the 25 or 30 people who accepted an invitation, circulated on social media, to be part of a “self-organised collective” staging a cleanup of the decommissioned TAFE site at Tewantin on 5 January to prepare it for a transition to a camp for the homeless. There seemed to be two basic groups present – people of goodwill who had taken the invitation at face value and simply wanted to do something to ease the plight of our growing number of homeless, and a noisier crowd who wanted to confront independent Noosa MP Sandy Bolton on the much broader issues of sovereign rights versus native title, the incompetence of governments at all levels, and maybe a bit of anti-fluoride, 5G towers and the Smart Cities conspiracy for good measure. For Ms Bolton, who has spent years as a councillor and then an MP fighting for a sensible transition of the falling-down, fire risk TAFE into a space that meets genuine community needs, and has put far more hours into finding solutions for the homeless than any of the party pollies of either side, the unfounded flak she had to cop on both issues was a double slap in the face. But as she told Noosa Today in the hours after the confrontation, “There is something not right here. Who are these people?” It is a good question, and the deeper you dig, the further down the rabbit hole you get. This much we know: During the first few days of January, Noosa resident Debra Walz began sharing, on local opinion social media pages like Noosa Community Notice Board and Residents For Noosa, invitations to concerned residents to help clean up the TAFE site on behalf of organisers Community Village and the Queensland Homelessness Working Group. On its popup and rather basic website, Community Village explained its presence at the TAFE site: “The

Picture: ROB MACCOLL Caretaker Notice of appointment over this sacred ceremonial land is pursued in a spirit of partnership and mutual respect with the community. The Community Village project to assist the homeless in the region, is therefore supported by the sovereign (non-corporate) Kabi Kabi Peoples.” Noosa Today could find no proof of the existence of the Queensland Homelessness Working Group. It was a busy holiday period for Ms Walz, a double cancer survivor, who in addition to providing a deputation to Noosa Council on the evils of fluoride in early December, had also, between Christmas and New Year, started a petition on Change.org to get rid of the
People’s Park at Main Beach (it was going on 7 January anyway, its trial period complete) and promoting a series of “Town Hall Meetings” at Tinbeerwah Hall and other venues, starting 24 January, on behalf of something called Noosa Peoples Council. That’s a lot of online activism over a few short weeks, and there is more to come. Ms Walz declined to be interviewed by Noosa Today but revealed that she would be presenting another deputation to council’s ordinary meeting on 18 January, this time “addressing my perspective of what happened at the TAFE site … and the intention of the Community Village and the community support sur-
More conspiracy theories from the sites. rounding it.” Three days before the TAFE confrontation, a new version of an older player in the sovereign and conspiracy theory community emerged locally. According to Noosa Today’s informants, MyPlaceNoosa, part of a national My Place network founded by a Melbourne man Darren Bergwerf as an anti-vaxxer online community at the start of the Covid pandemic, had been around for more than a year, with about 400 members. But on 2 January those members were locked out of the site until they rejoined and committed to “participate in community events”. The first of these was the TAFE working bee.

Police barricades at the TAFE. In Victoria, My Place had quickly established a presence at community events and markets, as the ABC’s 7.30 reported early last year: “The scene at Frankston, about 40 minutes from Melbourne CBD, seems like any other Sunday market – until you spot the anti5G posters or understand the symbology of the red flag flying in the main hall. The red ensign – Australia’s maritime flag – has become a defining symbol of sovereign citizens … [Bergwerf] is a sovereign citizen, meaning he does not believe Australian laws and institutions are valid and subscribes to the conspiracy theory that a global cabal is plotting to remove ordinary citizens’ freedoms.” But MyPlaceNoosa, whose tagline is “putting unity back into community”, was quick to explain its motivation: “The goal for My Place is to implement a project that allows us to step away from the current systems that are not serving our best interests. As we all come together and share our skills, knowledge, and support, we can gradually build individual sectors where the services can be accessed by all. ‘Rather than fighting the old, we walk away and create the new’. This now creates an opportunity for all of us to be actively involved in creating our future.” We are now gathering a very large family of interlinked “sovereign tribes” here. But wait, there is more. Something called Concerned Community Group (with links to something called Commonwealth Custodians) announced an apparently unrelated “town hall meeting” at Tinbeerwah on Monday 8 January, with the group manifesto beginning: “Our concerns and investigations include but are not limited to:
· 5G · Erosion of individual property ownership · Attacks on farming and home-grown food of digital identity and their · Implementation links to the destruction of the cash economy of a programmable Central · Implementation Bank Digital Currency · censoring of medical professionals of vaccine mandates that have · continuation been dropped in most countries · erosion of individual health choices programming and mind control · pre-emptive through totally controlled media · fake news · fake science · Communist controlled UN · World Economic Forum.”
Although there is no history of the group on its website, the vaccine mandates point would indicate that it, like My Place, dates from the height of Covid. It continues: “Even with little knowledge or understanding, most Australians can perceive that something is not right.” The Concerned Community’s manifesto is right out of the sovereign citizen handbook, from which it was no doubt adapted, and its detail is impressively frightening, but another linked group, Noosa People’s Council, takes the cake on spreading the fear and loathing the furthest. On the Saving Noosa page of its well-designed and expensive website, the group declares: “Noosa needs a People’s Council. Due to a lack of disclosure and adopting major changes without the consent of the people, our local
representation demands to be changed, and the local council election in March 2024 provides an opportunity to create a real community-based council, with known candidates who care about Noosa and its resident community. When this comes about, we may expect to see the town returned to the people.” Ah, so the penny drops. This is where it is all going! Electioneering. Disrupt, divide and conquer! Let’s read on: “Community feedback across the shire evidences a common ‘disdain’ for the Council, and it appears that a large portion of residents now believe the Council no longer serves the people … Are the interests of the community being subordinated to outside organisations and foreign controlled agendas?... Fortunately awareness has reached a tipping point, and is now giving way to broader community resistance. Continuing to expose the level of Noosa Council’s hidden agenda and its secret alignment to many sub groups, along with its poor record of genuine public consultation, will be the catalyst for change. There can be no support for a political class which fails the fundamental responsibility for which they are elected.” The People’s Council then goes on to describe a very long list of issues that “need to be addressed”, covering the same old “SovCit” fearmongering and localising it with borderline defamatory accusations about “unlawful activities” being engaged in by our “corporate council” and its mates. We don’t have the space to go into it here, other than to note that this August publication is on the hit list for being a “propaganda tool” for council, and for “bias and discriminatory reporting”. So what’s all this got to do with the Kabi Elders wanting to take possession of the TAFE site under something called Grandmother Lore? Well, it’s important to note that the future of the site, which is currently under Native Title assessment on behalf of proponents the Kabi Kabi People’s Aboriginal Corporation, could be placed in jeopardy by any such occupation. As early as 23 December, Kabi Dreaming Facebook page distanced itself from Community Village, posting: “In keeping with Kabi Djakurpa Tribal Lore/Law, Aunty Bucky Dak’khan Tuk’ku [a prominent Kabi member of Community Village, and other linked organ-
NEWS
isations including My Place] … can only speak for themselves.” Aunty Bucky also played a prominent role in a one-hour documentary called The Tyranny Ends, made in Gympie recently. According to its blurb, the video “marks the beginning of the peaceful and diplomatic taking back of Terra Australis by the Sovereign First Nations Mobs, back from the foreign invading corporation that has ruled unlawfully in tyranny, exploitation, fraud and genocide since 1788.” Noosa Today understands that the Gympie supporters of the Original Sovereign Tribal Federation, who have fought for years to preserve sacred sites from the Gympie bypass construction, and have also been very vocal about the Cooloola Great Walk, have declined to support the TAFE “project”. The sovereign citizen movement has a history around the world of using Indigenous issues and communities as a kind of Trojan horse, particularly in Canada and the US, where pro-Trump SovCits used undeliverable land rights concessions to win Native Americans to their cause. In Australia they have used dissatisfaction with the process of native title, a flashpoint being the 2021 storming of Canberra’s Old Parliament House with fire damage to the lobby, to the same ends. We are all entitled to our own political views, but it’s important to realise what these are for sovereign citizens. Ella Scoles, writing in Queensland Law Society’s Proctor in 2021, offered this: “In a nutshell, sovereign citizens are people who believe that the laws of the state do not apply to them as they have revoked their ‘consent’ for this to occur. They consider themselves to be ‘natural’ persons – born with their own natural rights that are unable to be constrained by governments. Often they refer to the ‘common law’ as being the only law they recognise as legitimate. Usually they oppose the very foundations of our democracy and rely on pseudo legal language, piecemeal, cryptic and often incorrect legal arguments to assert their independence.”

Nick ready to run for mayor Nick Hluszko, an accomplished commercial and community leader and advocate, has announced his candidacy for the position of Mayor of Noosa Shire, Queensland. Standing for a sustainable and prosperous Noosa, Mr Hluszko brings a wealth of experience and a passion for serving the community. “I am standing for Mayor because I am devoted to Noosa. I am a seasoned executive and community leader who has the experience, qualifications, passion, and energy to lead and guide our community in the face of significant challenges and opportunities facing Noosa today,” Mr Hluszko said. His journey is a testament to hard work and dedication. Born in Brisbane to parents who were WWII refugees, Mr Hluszko’s career began as a 21-year-old truck driver with Mobil Oil and after 20 years, he climbed the ranks to a global management role in the USA. He further excelled as the general manager of YUM Restaurants International, Eurasia, overseeing over 4000 staff, consulting as the chief executive officer for major retail brands in Eurasia as the CEO of one of Eurasia’s largest cinema chains. Mr Hluszko holds a Bachelor of Business and a Master of Business Administration from Monash University. He has also studied at Harvard in the USA, the Graduate School of Management at the University of New South Wales, and Financial Management at INSEAD in France. Locally, Mr Hluszko has been deeply involved, serving as the president of the Noosa North Shore Association, chair of the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Sub-Committee, and contributing to the Council Climate Change Round Table, Teewah and Cooloola Working Group, Rural Fire Brigade and as an oyster grower for the NICA Oyster Project. Why Mr Hluszko is standing Mr Hluszko says his decision to run for Mayor is driven by a passion to protect Noosa’s unique identity. “We are not another Gold Coast, and under my watch, never will be. My experience
Nick Hluszko. uniquely positions me to lead Noosa through its growth pressures with proven leadership, proper governance, and a focus on the right priorities,” he said. Acknowledging the challenges faced by the community, Mr Hluszko addressed the low public trust in the current council and resultant divisiveness in the community. With a background in strong organisational governance, Mr Hluszko aims to address the failure of Noosa council to manage infrastruc-
ture issues and the waste of public funds that has occurred on low priority projects. “I want to rebuild trust between the community and Noosa council and address the perceived ‘Boys Club’ exclusivity of the current council, which does not listen to, nor represent all the community,” he said. Key points of Mr Hluszko’s campaign platform include: Better management – an efficient, well-managed Council controlling bureaucratic costs
and imposing only the very minimum rates and levies at a time when far too many are struggling with the cost of living and interest rates. This will guarantee a larger percentage of ratepayers’ money for services, maintenance of parks, gardens, reserves and improving infrastructure and help to keep Noosa ’special’. A sensible Noosa River strategy – The proposal to lock-up the Noosa River for a conservation park, put forward by some current Noosa councillors, is not the solution for the Noosa River, or the community, and is a total overkill. However, Mr Hluszko said we must be vigilant to ensure that the health of the Noosa River is not compromised and that coordinated efforts focus upon sedimentation and pollutant entry into the river and its catchment.“My priority is to clean up the river by actively working with the State Government to implement the approved anchoring, mooring and live-aboard vessel recommendations,“ he said. “The Noosa River is State Government controlled. We need to partner with them to develop a strategy and to get already available funding. We do not need to use ratepayer money. There has been misinformation about the state and quality of the Noosa River. For the last 21 years, the State Government has confirmed the river quality is good to excellent. “I want to ensure that access to the Noosa River fair for all, in a sustainable way.“ An initiative-taking plan for Noosa’s infrastructure - Mr Hluszko believes that we need to stop putting our heads in the sand when it comes to infrastructure. While he opposes the State Government’s mandated 18,000 additional people in the Noosa Shire over the coming years, he believes that Noosa must be realistic about this and accept the impact this will have upon existing infrastructure. He believes that if infrastructure such as public transport, roads, parking, and boating access is not prioritised urgently, residents’ existing problems will continue to get worse. Continued page 21

Plant aims to grow mangroves A Sunshine Coast plant nursery is building a micro-propagation laboratory next year to help grow selected mangrove and seagrass species while creating local jobs thanks to a Rural Economic Development (RED) Grant. The species are difficult to commercially cultivate and require sterile, climatecontrolled conditions to grow which will be achieved through specialised lighting and equipment in the laboratory. “The laboratory will be used to commercially trial and grow selected mangrove species using tissue culture and micropropagation techniques,“ Monocot Pty Ltd director Belinda Brown said. “Mangroves are important as they stabilize the coastline from erosion, improve water quality and accumulate three to 10 times more carbon than most ecosystems on the planet. They are also a breeding habitat for many animals, like fish, birds and crustaceans. “The construction and fit out of the lab will require specialist suppliers of cold rooms, air conditioning systems and lighting, as well as the purchase of laboratory equipment. “When mangrove propagation trials are established, we anticipate that the nursery may require up to 30 additional laboratory assistants and/or nursery production staff to assist with the project.” The plant products are expected to be used for blue carbon farming and mining rehabilitation. Monocot Pty Ltd is one of 24 businesses approved for the fifth round of the RED grants program.
New nursery aims to grow mangroves and sea grasses. Grants are available for up to $200,000 with a 50 per cent cash contribution requirement from applicants to fund projects which generate economic and employment opportunities related to primary production value chains across rural and remote Queensland. A sixth round of RED Grants, supporting Indigenous-owned agribusinesses and projects aimed at low-emissions agriculture, has been
12623946-AV31-23
allocated for the 2023-24 financial year, with applications to open later this year. For more information about the RED Grant scheme visit qrida.qld.gov.au/program/ruraleconomic-development-grants The Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) administers the RED Grant scheme on behalf of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.

Nick throws hat in the mayoral ring From page 20 “Council has spent very little on infrastructure over the past few years. We already have serious problems. The additional population will rapidly diminish our lifestyle if we don’t fix these problems now.“ Strong leadership - Successful organisations build good cultures, accurately plan for future needs, develop a can-do attitude, foster transparency, and communication, and invest in their staff. “We need a cost-effective, streamlined management team working together in a good environment with defined goals and accountable for their results. “My decision to run for Mayor is based on the belief that I can improve the financial and operational governance of Noosa Council – something that I know concerns residents. We need a council capable of forecasting its overheads, managing its budget and capital works programs, and delivering the honest and transparent services our community deserves,” says Nick Hluszko. I will also partner and work closely with the State to deliver sensible strategies for our river and other key assets. It’s time to unite the community and stop dividing it,” Mr Hluszko said. Following the announcement of his candidacy Mr Hluszko plans a series of public engagement events that will be progressively announced via his social media sites.

Wegener to run again By Tom Wegener I will be standing again as a councillor candidate for Noosa Shire. More than ever, Noosa needs councillors with experience, ones who have a long-term connection to the community. The past four years have taught me that this job is many things, but mostly it is not what you would think. Vitally important is the job to read reports from council staff and give meaningful feedback. It is working collaboratively with staff in developing plans and strategies. Each councillor has an influence and involvement in the decisions made by the council. Each councillor can see their impact on the path, or evolution, of the council. For example, I can clearly see my influence on the Corporate Plan and Climate Change Response Plan in terms of supporting local farming and regenerative agriculture. I can also see my influence on the council’s shift away from supporting STA applications and the development of the STA local laws. Another large part of the job is to participate in committees and groups. I am the appointed councillor member on the Audit and Risk Committee, the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, the Mary River Coordinated Catchment Committee, the Environment Levy Group and the Case Management Working Group (overseeing Noosa’s legal battles). I participate in the decisions of these groups and they in turn provide the reports to the council for final decision making. I also have participated in several community groups. I was the president of Permaculture Noosa for two years and a committee
member of Country Noosa. I have put an enormous effort into understanding and advocating for regenerative gardening and agriculture. I am presently volunteering at Pomona’s Majestic Theatre and on the committee of the Pomona Arts Incorporated. I believe councillors should be encouraged to donate their time to community groups. Recently there has been an unhelpful encroachment of Conflict-ofInterest regulations, putting a chilling effect on councillor’s participation in community groups and hobbling our effectiveness to serve the community. I hope to change this if reelected. But perhaps the biggest part of the job is to listen. A councillor is on, 24/7, and you never know when someone is going to approach you with a real concern. Listening is the biggest part of the job. My key principle is to maintain Noosa as the paradise it must remain. To strike the balance between residents, businesses and our precious environment requires constant effort and vigilance. When I came to Noosa in 1998, I thought ‘This is the best place on earth!’. I learned that Noosa did not become this way by accident, but due to the vision of earlier councillors and the battles fought and won by dedicated residents and council staff. Inspired by the thousands of community volunteers who dedicate their time and efforts to the betterment of Noosa, I truly believe that Noosa is worth fighting for. If re-elected it will be a privilege to serve another four-year term and to leave Noosa to the next generation in safe hands. I have a lot more to give to Noosa.

A creaky old home with some cracks in the walls and an forlorn, stained bathroom just doesn’t cut it for renovation duo Kirsten Meehan and Lindsey Uselding (both pictured). If you revel in a home transforming from ugly to magazine-worthy in around 20 minutes, these sisters take the whole fixer-upper to a new level. From homes that have been ruined by flooding to abodes that have only just survived a fire, it’s all about bringing houses back from the dead. Tonight, there’s a pesky water problem, to put it mildly, in a brand-new residence. BEAUTIFUL LAKES OF NORTHERN ITALY SBS, Saturday, 8.40pm
Ditch the travel agency and tune into this immersive travelogue. It only seems appropriate to pour yourself your drink of choice and settle into a half-awake reverie as you relax into the glorious scenery. There’s quaint towns clinging to hills above turquoise water, velvety green mountains and medieval stone hamlets as well as smiling locals whipping up cheese and boats lolling about in the bay. The beauty of Northern Italy is on display, and tonight’s two episodes, you may mistakenly believe you have actually set foot in the stunning region as the lush, light-filled exploration traverses Lake Maggiore to Lake Como.

MUSTER DOGS ABC TV, Sunday, 7.30pm
What started as an amiable, feelgood documentary series has proved to be a bumper hit for the ABC, with this second season proving equally as successful and a companion book by series narrator Lisa Millar recently hitting the shelves. It’s a brilliant slice-of-life show about living on the land, zipping all over the country as it details the arduous training farm dogs undergo to in order to work with livestock. In this second instalment, it’s revealed just how much harder it is to train a border collie pup than a kelpie, as farmer Lily discovers with Snow. If you’re here just to see some cute pups, there’s no shortage of adorable footage, but it doubles as a fascinating insight into the lives of modern Aussie farmers.
REVENGE: OUR DAD THE NAZI KILLER ABC TV, Monday, 8pm
A tantalising real-life mystery with oodles of Cold War-era intrigue and the thrill of taking place in our own backyard, this two-part doco (catch last week’s gripping instalment on iview if you missed it) is a must-see. It follows three Melbourne brothers – Jon, Jack and Sam (pictured, from left) – who are investigating a family secret: their father Boris, a partisan and Holocaust survivor, allegedly undertook a revenge killing against a Nazi fugitive in Sydney in the 1950s. But is it true? Contending with the moral issues of what they find, and wary of what more they might uncover, the brothers confront their own varying memories of their father, and what made him tick, as they strive for the truth in this compelling conclusion.

Local ‘hot shots’ go big! Consider this: you’re eight years old, just starting out on your tennis journey, and coach tells you that you and your buddies have won selection to play on court at the Brisbane International! For any budding junior tennis star this would be a dream come true, which is exactly what it was this month for six members of the Hot Shots squad at Tewantin Tennis Club. Coach and former pro Pete Taylor said the six lucky kids were still over the moon after their Kids On Court session. Says Pete: “You have to go into a ballot for the honour and our Orange Ball (eight to 10 years old) squad in the primary school Hot Shots program was lucky enough to be selected. What that means is you are given 15 minutes between matches to show the audience what you’ve learned, going through drills, practicing technique, then rallying and finally playing for points. We got super lucky because they put us on Show Court 1, which is really good, and we were on before the first match of the day, featuring rising star Rinky Hijikata, so we had a big audience.” The Hot Shots apparently had nerves of steel as the MC announced them each by name, and the crowd cheered as they moved into their drills. After rallying and playing their hearts out for points, they were given another rousing ovation, and then, in another stroke of luck, instead of being sent back to their parents they were all led into the tunnel leading to the inner sanctum of Pat Rafter Arena, star spotting as they passed the players’ gym and physio tables. The luck continued as they were then allowed to have two representatives at the coin flip, with Aria Jackson flipping the coin for eventual women’s champion Elena Rybakina for her encounter with Elise Mertens, while Leo Taylor got to flip for Rinky Hijikata and Thomas Machac. Next the Hot Shots took their seats to watch Rinky take out Machac in straight sets. What a day! Says Pete: “It’s a two-hour drive for 15

NEW YEAR NEW YOU
Activate your body in 2024 Did you know that muscle mass decreases approximately three to eight per cent per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after age 60? Yes, that’s right – 30 years of age! For some people, this statistic is not an issue as they go to the gym regularly and lift heavy weights. For others, however, this may come as both a surprise, and a dread. Viktoria Molloy PhD and head physiotherapist at Activate Body understands this all too well. “We know that gyms aren’t for everyone – and are often the place where the 20 year olds tend to go. Plus, once you are over 30, walking, swimming, running, and Pilates are not enough – to maintain our strength and prevent inevitable muscle wastage we need to do resistance training. That’s why we developed our SMART Program. SMART stands for ’Strength, Movement, All-Body Resistance Training’ which ticks all the boxes: resistance training with our unique band and weight system; balance training; core and pelvic stability; and breathwork.“ According to performance coach Tom Molloy, “What makes us different is we offer an environment free of intimidation and full of support to make strength training accessible and safe, irrespective of whether you have an injury or experience.“ “It only takes a 60-minute session twice a week to restore the strength and confidence you need to keep doing the things you love all with the clinical guidance of our physiotherapists and exercise professionals. “So even though our clients may have back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, osteoporosis or osteoarthritis they can progress with SMART to a more active, stronger and healthier life.” Tea loves running around Noosa, walking along Sunshine Beach and skiing in Europe.

Another case of ‘if only’ If only I had seen the TV program for this last weekend before writing my critical email regarding the lack of women’s football being televised. I would have seen advertised the game between Western United and Sydney FC played yesterday on Sunday 14 January. Which Sydney won 1.0 after the brilliance of Courtney Vine who started the game on the bench but showed her talents once again. Western United missed their chances in the first half and lacked lustre and effort in the second half. Also Sports News showed Michelle Heyman score her 100th goal. I was guilty once again of not adhering to “Look before you leap.” My excuse is “It is what it is” even though I am not a fan of that saying. But still of the opinion we should see more of women’s football. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

Shade for Cooran If one thing was demonstrated from the recent erection of the controversial People’s Park in the Noosa Surf Club carpark, it’s that Council can act quickly if something is a priority. A shaded place for Hastings Street erected in half a day doesn’t seem to be replicated with the same level of enthusiasm when it comes to providing our Hinterland with shade. For the best part of last year, the community of Cooran advocated for a return of shade outside the community store. Council had replaced chairs and tables but had failed to provide appropriate shade shelter for this popular community spot. Last week on my travels to Cooran and Cooran Community Store, there were no umbrellas, despite this being supported by all Councillors back in December as a solution to the shade dilemma. At this rate, the hottest months of the year will be gone before Council act on this. We can put shade in Hastings Street, but can’t put shade in Cooran. When elected to Council, I’ll be ensuring our Hinterland is properly represented and

Get rid of interests Nominees for the upcoming council election should divest themselves of all memberships of local or federal groups, which if they are elected would give them a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest in council will prevent them from taking full part in certain discussions and/or decisions during council meetings, because they would be asked to leave the room. Making a public declaration of their membership is not sufficient to satisfy likely undue influence upon any matter of Council funding or of Council decision making. Voters for candidates at the Council Election will need to be assured by the candidates that they hold no vested interests or owner-
ships which would deprive them from taking full part in all Council business if elected to council. Liz Aspinall, Noosa Council ratepayer
Know your candidates Given that voters will be asked to select from a wide range of candidates at the local government election for Noosa Shire Council, surely it is appropriate to have candidates inform us about their candidacy credentials. Having done radio interviews in a past life for a host of candidates at Federal, State and Local Government level, I firmly believe we need to know a lot more about the candidates for Council. There are seven basic questions I would ask of each candidate given the opportunity: 1. In what capacity are you standing for Council - Independent- Member of a political
party or any other association 2. Detail affiliations with existing groups and/ or associations including the nature of those relationships 3. Are you a paid up member of a political party and will that membership influence your decision making on Council issues 4. Outline potential conflict of interests that may exist on matters raised at Council meetings 5. What are the key issues involved with your candidacy and what are your plans and priorities for those issues 6. Indicate any existing relationships with current Councillors and why do they exist 7. Tell the community why you deserve our vote We need to know a lot more than media profiling. Bob Birkhead, Noosaville

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP
Contentious start to year Welcome to 2024, and hasn’t it started fabulously in all ways in true Noosa style with headlines and plenty of Facebook commentary! First up, we had what seemed to be a fairly innocuous situation, at least initially, at the decommissioned Tewantin TAFE site, however, it since appears to be something much larger and complex. This has given lots of ‘fodder’ for another chapter to the book that I have previously threatened to write on the debacle of this site, however before we get to the current events, I will recap with so many new residents unaware of its history. After a long 10 year journey starting in efforts to overturn the closure decision by a previous government (and no, I am not getting into the ‘blame game’ here) then transgress the endless protocols involved with the next government, to the devastation when Noosa Council rejected taking the site on, then living every week the frustration of it being caught through its ‘unallocated’ status in a broad Native Title claim across our electorate, you can imagine the grinding of teeth! Finally, the Expressions of Interest (EOI) process was completed in 2022, with successful proponents waiting impatiently ever since for the finalisation of the Native Title determinations which were scheduled for late last year, delayed to early this year (by Court processes). This to enable commencement of community consultation and remedial works. Yes, we are so close. Having endlessly written about, posted to Noosa 360, and chased every element, including keeping the successful applicants to the EOI process updated during the delays, complexities, ongoing vandalisms and increasing costs to materials and labour to rejuvenate this site, you can imagine my surprise when alerted to a Facebook post seeking volunteers to clean up the site for those experiencing homelessness. With this site only weeks away from finally commencing its next journey, I contacted the Department of Training to ascertain what was going on. They advised of having no knowledge of this, nor had they authorised entry, and reiterated again why this site is totally unsuitable for anyone sleeping there, as they had many times to our requests over the years to utilise this site in the interim for transportable accommodations. Their reviews showed the site as unsafe due to its fire risk assessments from the surrounding bush, which cannot be cleared due to biodiversity overlays and koala habitat mapping. With housing being a key issue, in our annual surveys we had asked our community whether they would be prepared for these types of overlays to be reviewed to allow clearing for affordable accommodations, with the majority of responders against. In response I attended the decommissioned TAFE site to find out who was involved in the organisation called ‘Community Village’ and be available to answer any questions regarding the site’s status, why it was not suitable for accommodations, and update on the facts including supports and projects around anyone experiencing or at risk of homelessness in our community. On arrival, I was confronted with a combination of genuine volunteers who had responded to the Facebook callout in good faith, as well as others with an agenda that was confusing and concerning, using Kabi Kabi Elders unknown to our community claiming to have sovereign rights to the property. Suddenly, we had those from outside our community, taking over this site that we had fought so long and hard for, unbelievable! This without any consultation or respect for our community, or to any resident experiencing or at risk of homelessness. 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 19 January, 2024
Noosa MP Sandy Bolton This organisation has never contacted Noosa Council, myself or any of our fabulous organisations that work tirelessly with residents experiencing hardships, nor could they identify someone here as being homeless. Yes, we had strangers from Brisbane, Gympie and the Sunshine Coast, in a well organised and orchestrated effort, ready with recording devices for their ‘livestreaming’ and denying the laws we operate under as Australians. To say I was shocked is an understatement. Our police handled the situation in a respectful and calm manner, explaining that they could remain on the grounds until an official statement was obtained from the state government, reiterating that should the building be entered, they would be charged with trespassing. By that afternoon the government had issued a letter to the organisation clearly stating they had no authority to enter the grounds, and there would be no tolerance for any further trespassing. And this is where it gets both confusing and complex. We had Kabi Kabi Elders from elsewhere that we have never met, claiming their sovereign right to the site, which is in opposition to the recognised Kabi Kabi Elder claimants in the Native Title process who have worked with this community for years within the framework provided by the Commonwealth. The Kabi Kabi Native Title claim which includes Noosa, from my understanding is one of the last in Queensland, which means we are at the end of decades of claims. Even though those in opposition to the recognised process such as Native Title have been advised to take any concerns through the appropriate Federal channels, with a Royal Commission called for, we have a situation where we are being dragged into something larger than the
former TAFE site, or Noosa, under the pretext of ‘homelessness’. Previously I had thought that those aligned to the sovereign movement, which does not recognise our constitution or the laws we operate under as Australia, was a united movement. Apparently I was wrong. Having received a letter from other Kabi Kabi Elders with sovereign beliefs distancing themselves from the activities of those involved in this latest effort, I was awakened to the increasing complexity in this. No longer are the efforts of First Nations People divided between those who work within our Commonwealth framework and those who reject it, we also have those that reject it splintered, decrying each other’s ‘lore’ as false. And then in among, we have what appears to be a non-indigenous sovereign movement, known as Sovereign Citizens? If you are confused, be assured you are not alone! During a meeting last year at the Cooroy Hall regarding the Cooloola Great Walk Eco Project, there were information sheets handed out that led to the website of the Original Sovereign Tribal Federation formed in 2010, involving a memorandum of understanding with a fledgling political party, linked to an international Sovereign Citizens movement, which has been reported as linked to the storming of Canberra’s Old Parliament House. So how is this connected with what happened at our former TAFE site? According to those who hunt endlessly for information and have been posting to Facebook, there have been reportedly links established to an upcoming meeting by Noosa People’s Council, and links to My Place Australia. This on first glance looks to be a fabulous movement that I would support, as it appears to align to my efforts to move governments
to greater efficiency and away from a flawed system that I have outlined in speeches and in this column. However, on a closer look, many aspects lead back to not abiding by our current laws, with an ABC article in April 2023 reporting the My Place structure as an organisation that encourages branches to create a ‘council action group’, whose role is to attend council meetings with the eventual aim to ‘establish constant control over council decisions’. Ultimately, we do need many improvements in our governance including as I have been working on addressing the flaws on state Parliamentary protocols and the Committee system, the failing of a 2-party system, and the hoodwinking of voters through those postal vote applications which are wrong in all ways. However, we need to remedy these in a transparent, lawful manner recognised under Australian Commonwealth Law, even when it does get frustrating such as what we have gone through with this site. Those who say they are ‘above’ our law are doing every Noosan, Queenslander and Australian a disservice, as there is no hope, especially for reconciliation by disrespecting the framework that gives a cohesive guide on how to move forward. We need to walk together, and can be ‘one mob’, however these types of activities as we’ve just seen under the pretext of assisting homeless people, by faceless organisations and reported subversive movements that create mistrust through ‘disruption’, is not the way. As of writing, barricades have been placed on the site, with no tolerance for any further activities of this kind. To those who love walking their dogs through there, we hope this situation is resolved as soon as possible and until then please avoid entering this area.

Decommissioned Noosa TAFE. As I have said, this site has been hard fought for to be reinstated for the benefit of our community, and I will do everything in my power to prevent any further delays to what has been the longest of journeys. This includes writing to Minister McCallum reiterating previous requests to obtain permission for the lawful suc-
cessful proponents to commence community consultation and stabilising works in advance of the native title determinations. With the volume of ‘outsiders’ to our community now also ‘spamming’ posts with misinformation such as there was permission from state government, that Council had referred
them to Kabi Kabi, and that we have over 50 women sleeping in fear nightly without a place to sleep? Having contacted Council and been reassured there has never been any such advice, with again state advice that no authority was given, add in that any local resident that contacts my office is offered assistance and

accommodation to avoid sleeping rough, the credibility and validity of claims has been established as false. We will now be blocking any further nonsense as we have lost a week of work in this, with it being a government and police issue to manage, not for our office to do so. Yes, this has been confusing for many, however remember that the Kabi Kabi Elders we have worked with for years in our community, were not involved in the TAFE incident, nor other widely known Kabi Kabi Elders in neighbouring areas. All updates as received will be posted to www.SandyBolton.com/Noosa360 and you can subscribe to our newsletter at www.SandyBolton.com/Newsletters to ensure you are ‘in the know’ on issues impacting our community including upcoming polls such on shark nets during whale migration season. Now to a couple of quick updates! Regarding the Cooloola Great Walk Ecotourism Project I asked a ‘Question Without Notice’ last Parliament with reassurance provided that they are working on a solution to meet community expectations, and we look forward to updates once Parliament resumes. On Lake Macdonald, following delays as we have previously reported, Seqwater has released the final design concept for the upgrade of the Lake Macdonald Dam, with early works set to commence in March ahead of major construction mid-2024. For surrounding residents, Seqwater will be doing a doorknock, as well information sessions with dates and locations to be advised so keep an eye on our Facebook page. It is vitally important that the dam wall is upgraded to improve safety for nearby residents and enable greater resilience during flood related events. Thank you to the Seqwater team for their work and all Lake Macdonald residents for their ongoing patience during the planning and construction phases.

Renewed calls to revise first-home stamp duty threshold With home ownership levels steadily on the decline in Queensland, the REIQ is calling for an overdue revision and uplift to the stamp duty concession threshold rates for first home buyers. As it stands, Queenslanders can buy their first home and pay no stamp duty provided the property is under $500,000. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the peak body is advocating for the concessional threshold for first home buyers increased to at least $750,000 to reflect current day property prices. “The average cost of an entry level property has rapidly outpaced the current threshold of the first home buyer’s concession being $500,000 and has not been reviewed since 2008,” Ms Mercorella said. “Comparing the threshold to the annual median house price for Greater Brisbane of $760,500, and for Brisbane LGA of $1 million* it raises the question of the effectiveness of a first home buyer stamp duty concession when the ability to utilise it is severely limited. “While we are yet to see any appetite from the State Government to tackle the inefficient and regressive tax that is stamp duty, a sensible interim measure would be to lift the concessional threshold for first home buyers to a figure of at least $750,000. “With decade low numbers of first home buyers accessing the concession, it would be a sensible starting point for the suite of stamp duty reforms that the REIQ have been strenuously advocating for over many years.” Ms Mercorella said stamp duty was a key part of the housing affordability and accessibility issue. “Stamp duty can add tens of thousands to
the overall cost of buying a new home which stifles housing mobility,” she said. “Over the past 10 years we have seen stamp duty on property transfers nearly triple; however, there has been no commensurate investment in the provision of infrastructure for new housing or social housing. “At an Estimates hearing in July 2021, the Treasurer previously ruled out reforming stamp duty in Queensland arguing that it was affordable, but we think it’s time to review that decision as Queensland has the lowest levels of home ownership in the country. “The Queensland Government recently announced its intent to help more Queenslanders buy their first home, and one of the biggest obstacles to home ownership is stamp duty, so reforming stamp duty would be a powerful move towards that goal.” First home buyers in Queensland may be eligible to save on the cost of stamp duty, especially when buying vacant land. Provided it is to build a first home, there is zero stamp duty as long as it is for less than $250,000. Concessions are available for vacant land valued above $250,000 and up to $400,000. As it stands, a first home valued up to $500,000 attracts zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of up to $15,925, which is the maximum stamp duty rebate available. Additionally, savings on stamp duty may still be available for a first home between $500,000 and $550,000. As a guide, if the first home is worth $530,000, stamp duty is $6300 - a saving of $3500. These savings cut out altogether if the first home costs $550,000 or more. *Source CoreLogic – House Median Sales – September 2023 Quarter

Finding Kaiadilt country In the second part of his reflections on our colonial legacy, PHIL JARRATT revisits the remote South Wellesley Islands A cool wind ripped through the cabin just before dawn, slamming doors and making the corrugated iron shudder. Photographer Paul Wright and I were awake and out of our bunks instantly. Outside on the red sand, still warm from the heat of the previous day, we scanned the horizon for signs. To the east, where the grey of predawn was turning pale yellow, we saw nothing but the shimmering surface of the Gulf of Carpentaria. But to the south, coming in off the Australian mainland 40 kilometres away, a carpet roll of thick cloud extended in a band across the horizon. The Morning Glory was on its way. The Morning Glory roll clouds which appear over the south-eastern part of the Gulf each spring are neither widely-known nor fully understood, beyond meteorologists and the band of glider pilots who travel from far and wide to ride the cloud-wave. Similar roll cloud formations are seen in other parts of the world, but none with the regularity and intensity of those of the Gulf. I had seen part of one previously, from the heavily-wooded bank of Gin Arm Creek near Burketown, and wondered what all the fuss was about. As the sun rose on Sweers Island I was about to find out. Wright and I ran out to the bluff to get the best vantage point. Later, the temperature would nudge 40 degrees, but we stood shivering as the breeze ushered in the Morning Glory. The sky was becoming a faint blue as the cloud rolled towards us, but at its most dramatic point it turned a foreboding black as the cloud passed above us and rolled out across Investigator Road towards the top of Bentinck Island. It was one of the most amazing shows of nature I had seen, and remains so 35 years later, but in terms of amazement, Sweers and Bentinck were only getting started. With Tex Battle now in his 80s, Sweers Island Resort recently changed hands for around $4 million, which included, on top of the leasehold, six plush cabins sleeping around 30 guests at capacity, two houses for management and staff, eight hire boats and a six-metre cat, sheds, workshops and an aircraft hangar, mobile phone reception and satellite internet. When I first visited it had a radiophone hookup to the Flying Doctor and a CB link to the main camp on Bentinck. As I wrote back then: “It is impossible to think of a less accessible tourist facility – four hours from Cairns to Burketown on the Flightwest milk run, then another 20 minutes on a charter plane.” And it wasn’t very pretty either, at least not at first. I wrote: “It takes time to see and feel the elemental beauty of the South Wellesley Islands, time to watch the primary colours of the morning bleach into an outback noon and then gather force for a blazing sunset. And it takes time to be drawn into the fascinating history of this part of the Gulf, its tales of bravery and stupidity, magic and cruelty.” In his excellent book Killing For Country, referenced in the first part of this story last week, author David Marr’s interest in the twin islands of Sweers and Bentinck understandably waned when his forebear D’arcy Uhr moved on, but the killing of the Kaiadilt people continued sporadically, well into the new century when a man named McKenzie 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 19 January, 2024
Sunset on Sweers Island, 1991. lived amongst them and is estimated to have slaughtered 11 people and raped numerous young girls. Unfortunately, as I learned firsthand on my first visit in 1989, the trials and tribulations of the Kaiadilt did not end with McKenzie’s departure. Between the world wars Presbyterian missionaries established an outpost on Mornington Island to save the souls of savages and “bring them in” from the island camps. They soon had a flock but the Kaiadilts managed to avoid such indignity until in 1940 an intratribal fight resulted in 11 of them being jailed on Cape York after the murder of a Mornington Islander. A RAAF radar station was established on Mornington soon after and in 1943 a party of airmen made a boat landing at Sweers where the Kaiadilts had set up a fish dam. Alarmed by the approach of the airmen, they threw spears and in the ensuing battle a young Kaiadilt man was killed and a woman wounded. This was the last officially recognised battle between blacks and whites in Australia, but it was also the last hurrah for the Kaiadilts on their Bentinck homeland for more than a generation. Slowly they were “brought in” to the mission on Mornington, with the last of them being expatriated when a tidal surge in the Gulf left the small Bentinck population without fresh water. In October 1989 I was cleaning my morning catch of queenfish on the beach at Sweers by a pile of rocks – possibly the remnants of the 1943 fish dam – when a tinnie full of Kaiadilt men pulled into the shallows and were led up the beach by a middle-aged white man sporting tribal tattoos and dirty camouflage pants. Later he introduced himself as Selwyn Hausman, a former Sydney barrister who had married a Kaiadilt woman and in 1986 had begun the long process of setting up camps on Bentinck to repatriate them.
Picture: PAUL WRIGHT Hausman invited me to join his men on a turtle hunt that afternoon and to sit and chat with the families on the beach later on. Although our hunt was futile, I was pleased to find a drum of turtle meat heating on a bed of coals when we reached the circle of people spread out on the beach in the late afternoon. I’d been hunting with a man called Billy Dundaman, whose wife, Alison, proved to be a font of knowledge gleaned from the old stories and her own lived history. She told me that when she was a little girl her mother, Roonga, was shot in the leg by a white man in uniform on the beach at Sweers. I did a quick age calculation of the middle-aged woman sitting beside me in the sand and my skin went to goose bumps as I realised that Roonga had been shot by the RAAF raiders in the last black/white battle 46 years earlier. “I don’t bear no grudge,” Alison told me. “Both sides wrong that day.” When we visited Sweers and Bentinck in 1989, Tex and Lyn Battle had only been running the resort a little over the year, while the Kaiadilt homelands program across the strait was at a very early stage with just a couple of small camps established. By 1991 it was a different story. Bentinck had three established dry camps with a permanent population of around 30 people from three generations, a well, a generator (usually on the blink), a market garden and several fish dams, but while the Kaiadilts had re-established their traditional lifestyle, they were still dependent on Sweers for some supplies, including occasional fresh water, and their mail. To make transactions and inter-island communications easier, Lyn Battle (a writer of romantic novels in an earlier life) had started to compile a Kaiadilt-English phonetic dictionary, enabling the women to shop for supplies using their own tongue. She cradled the little book on her lap when we took the tinnie across
Investigator Road for an official reunion with the Kaiadilts. Although the meeting had been organised over the CB radio, I was still struck by its formality, with Kaiadilt People’s Corporation chairman Roland Moodoonuthi and Billy Dundaman, my hunting buddy from ’89, wading into the shallows in their Sunday best to greet us. Other men crowded around as we walked up the sand, while the women and children sat shyly in the shade of the palms. But the mood changed abruptly when a woman called Dawn emerged from the scrub and performed a wind dance on the sand. Within moments a gust of wind roared across the beach as the group erupted into cheers and laughter. The fuss drew Roma Kelly, mother of the chairman and the oldest living Kaiadilt, from her solitary campfire and grass bag production line. She sat down beside me and went through a repertoire of bird calls before telling me, with some help from Lyn Battle and her dictionary, the chilling stories passed on by her parents as eyewitness accounts of murderer John McKenzie’s reign of terror in the early 1900s. For the second time on Bentinck, I felt a real connection with the tragic past. When the sun got lower and Investigator Road started to turn gold, Paul Wright and I went back to Sweers for our swags to spend the night camped with the Kaiadilts. We ate big chunks of rock cod pulled off the frame with our fingers and washed it down with warm soft drink, before spreading our swags on the sand and lying in the moonlight with our Kaiadilt mates, giggling at the existential absurdity of the space junk that threaded its way through the constellations, unaware of what really lay below. Parts of this article originally appeared in the Australia Day edition of The Bulletin, 28 January 1992.

Slow food’s year of growth By Erle Levey It has been a year of growth for Slow Food Noosa which will be reflected at the annual Park and Cove presentation dinner at Peppers Resort Noosa next month. On the night, Snail of Approval accreditation will be presented to farmers, providers and those in the hospitality industry who embrace the world-wide Slow Food movement’s philosophy of supplying food that is produced in a good, healthy and fair way. The dinner, to be held on Thursday, 15 February, from 5pm, is always a popular event and will comprise a three-course meal prepared by food and beverage director Andrew Wilcox and the team. In line with the restaurant’s philosophy, everything on the menu is Queensland based. “We are continuing the work of former head chef Matt Golinski who put in place such a fabulous legacy,’’ Andrew said. “It is our philosophy to make use of local suppliers because half the battle in running a
restaurant is using the best produce. “The relationships we built over the five years together with Matt were magical. “Here at Park and Cove we are trying to do everything that’s regional as close as we can Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Gympie. “It is our philosophy to make use of local suppliers because half the battle in running a restaurant is using the best produce.’’ Andrew has been at Peppers Noosa Resort for nine years so the food and beverage side runs well. He values the nurturing aspect of bringing the team together. “We have a good restaurant manager in Luca - he is really passionate, and is on my case every day with his drive.’’ That’s the difference between a good restaurant and a great restaurant. Promoted as an alternative to fast food, Slow Food has been established in 160 countries around the world. It strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants,
seeds, and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem. In doing so, Slow Food promotes local small businesses and sustainable foods. It also focuses on food quality, rather than quantity. Andrew has been at Peppers Noosa Resort for nine years so the food and beverage side runs well. On the night, guests will be welcomed by restaurant manager Luca Pagliericcio. “We have a good restaurant manager in Luca - he is really passionate, and is on my case every day with his drive,’’ Andrew said. Slow Food Noosa’s Rod Lees said the evening was a way of recognising and supporting the Snail of Approval local businesses. “We have an amazing new committee, and we look forward to supporting the members and their businesses through the year,’’ he said. “Our first event of the year is our award night. It is a wonderful way of introducing the other events Slow Food will be involved in during 2024.’’ Proposed Menu: Starters: Noosa Reds ox-heart tomato, pan-
·
grattato, chilli macadamias, herbs, grilled zucchini with aged balsamic on a bed of stracciatella cheese; or Coconut Forage Farm chicken larb, with a green goddess salad including pomelo, snow pea and mint. Main course: Piggy in the Middle pork belly, peach, sour lemon, carrot puree, fennel and apple slaw; or Eastwell Farm beef rump cap, oyster mushroom, black garlic, crispy potatoes and red vein sorrel. Dessert: Sticky pineapple tamarind pudding, vanilla chantilly and Suncoast Lime caramel; or Daintree chocolate melting moment and milk sorbet with caramel. The presentation evening is a great opportunity to network with fellow Slow Food members, with select Snails presenting a trade expo from 5pm prior to the dinner.

Cheesy passion for Beth By Erle Levey The only thing Beth O’Leary is more passionate about than tasting cheese is sharing the story of how they make it. After taking over the Woombye Cheese legacy two years ago, Beth and husband Simon have seen the artisan business go from strength to strength. Much of this growth has been from enthusiasm and community engagement they have built since taking over from the founders, the Paynter family, who started the company in mid-2013. That has brought new products and the opening of cellar door sales of a Saturday from 10-2pm. These innovations are due to the popularity of the artisan cheesemaking process, and is seeing the expansion at the West Woombye factory. “I suppose you could call it Woombye Cheese 2.0,’’ Beth said. “There are cheeses for tasting and some other local products available as well. “We want people to come and be comfortable, while we take them through the process of cheesemaking - what we do and what we’ve got available. “We are expanding the factory and will conduct tours in the future.’’ Along with the cellar door is the launch to the public of Persian feta cheese in 1kg tubs. The feta has been available to food services, cafes and restaurants for chefs to use in their menus. “We have decided to retail it in a 1kg tub that will last families for some time,’’ Beth said, “as it’s got a good shelf life. “It can be used as a spread, whip it up and make your own dip, put it in quiche and frittatas because it melts nicely. “I like the idea you can cook with cheese ... it’s quite versatile. “We’ve left our feta straight with no flavouring because that’s the way the chefs want it - they can do what they like with it. “You can use it right down to the last drop of oil - if I’m making dip I will use the oil with it. Cheesemaker Stefan Wilson was already making the feta and will be making more of it, as Woombye Cheese are trialling it now at some outlets. Stefan Wilson has been at Woombye Cheese for the nine years it has been in operation. He consistently makes good cheese, Beth said. As for the business, coming into their third year in March, Beth said the time has flown yet they have achieved so much in that time. It has been highlighted by a number of awards including their Blackall Gold washed rind cheese announced as grand champion in the cheese category at the 2023 Australian Grand Dairy Awards. There were successes as well at Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Produce Show, and
Beth O’Leary of Woombye Cheese at the cellar door of the factory in West Woombye. 383295 grand champion dairy product of show 2022 Royal Queensland Cheese and Dairy Awards. “Sales have grown,’’ Beth said. “We sort of re-established ourselves as a brand, I suppose. “Basically we’ve just done more shows, festivals, events, and probably more community engagement. “It’s been nice how we’ve met other people in the industry, other people who are on the same journey as us - having their own business. “I just had someone from Graceville come up here from a fruit shop/deli who wanted to know more about our story. “That means he can talk about it more
at the shop. “That’s what makes the world go round … you know, joining the dots and communicating with each other. “I think it’s nice that we can share the story more easily. “If there’s one thing I like more than cheese, it’s telling the story of cheese and what we do here. “The great part of the food industry is encouraging users to understand about food; where it comes from, what are the benefits, what does it taste like? “It’s one thing having a local product - it also needs to be good. “We had to replace a vat recently and we

asked Stefan - our cheese maker - did he want one with an automatic handle to stop it mixing when the cheese was ready? “He said: ’What do you want ... supermarket cheese or do you want artisan?’ “He understands that it’s the toughest and most important part of making cheese. “Here’s someone who knows their craft so well - that they know to stir this batch for an extra three minutes.’’ Woombye Cheese is open 10-2pm Saturdays unless closed for private functions. All other times are occupied with heavy vehicles and running the business. Address: 463-481 Blackall Range Road, West Woombye.

Trying their luck offshore With the new moon towards the end of last week anglers were out in force. Starting on the beach, the Jewfish anglers have been doing well on the new moon with plenty of quality legal fish being reported on the evening tide, fresh mullet, clumps of worms and tailor fillet have been the prime baits, speaking of tailor there are still a couple of rouge larger fish being taken around Double Island. Just inside Double Island on the Rainbow side some good whiting have been reported with some fish over the 35cm mark, freshly pumped yabbies have been the gun baits. Inskip has also seen plenty of action with the flathead and trevally on the chew, there have been some reports of school mackerel for those doing the long cast with stick baits and slugs, letting them sink is the key. It has been tough offshore with those annoying southerlies, most anglers have been holding close. Doing the troll with deeper diving lures has been very successful, hugging the coastline has been the best approach as these fish are feeding on mullet, tailor, slimeys and yakka’s so trolling a larger lure like the Nomad DTX Minnows in appropriate colours has worked well. North Reef has been alive with spotted mackerel along with spanish, the bottom is also fishing well on the morning tide. Out of Noosa Laguna bay has been a hive of activity with plenty of tuna on offer, smaller slugs still seem to be the popular choice with anglers, try to keep the profile small so the Hard-core slugs from TT are perfect for the job. Fishing the edges of the schools is the best approach and if you can get to the north of them, they should feed in your direction. Anglers around Noosa are reporting that there are still plenty of good trout on Sunshine Reef. Fishing hard to the reef is the key so a big ball sinker right
on top of the hook will get those baits right in the strike zone. Tin Can Bay and the Sandy straights has seen plenty of action, the mouth of Kauri has been firing with some big trevally and school mackerel. Big Micks has been good for a feed of tuna, spotted mackerel and some good sweetlip off the reef and drop off. Back in Tin Can Snapper Creek has seen some nice GT’s along with some bigger bream around the moored boats and out front of the marina. Carlo has been good for some bigger jack and some nice flathead. Fishing the sand banks opposite Carlo has been a great place to chase trevally, fishing fast moving slugs, micro jigs and small plastics and retrieving at speed has been the most successful approach. For the whiting anglers there have been plenty on offer around Pelican Bay, fresh worms and yabbies have been the better baits, for those that love to pop for them there are plenty of larger fish prepared to chase a surface lure. In the Fresh with the water temperatures dropped a little with influx of fresh, in Borumba and Lake Macdonald and the bass bite has slowed a little, fishing the edges with smaller surface lures may work but most fish are holding deep, soft plastics worked through the schools is probable your best bet. The Mary has got a far bit of colour in it at the moment so darker coloured lures are working better, alternatively spinner baits with plenty of action have been getting the fish.

Great catch to Ben Wilson playing for Thunder Third Grade Team.
Rain disrupts cricket again By Randall Woodley For the second weekend in a row, rain disrupted all of the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder senior team’s Saturday matches and still no teams had been able to take to the field in 2024. However, three of the teams were able to play their Sunday fixtures and two teams, Seconds and Fourths came away with exciting wins and the Thirds were unlucky to just go down. SECONDS: The team were at Coolum and batted first. The openers, Adam Curry (23) and Blake Steel (14) started the innings strongly. The following batsmen all managed scores in the teens, but no one went on to post the bigger scores that were needed. Then the experienced newcomer to the club, Chris Hopper came to the crease and showed everyone how the game should be played. He scored 64 of 63 balls including five sixes. At the end of their forty overs the Thunder had posted a competitive score of 9-171. Coolum lost a wicket in the first over of their innings but then dug in and made the job of restricting their scoring difficult for the Thunder bowlers. At one stage the Coolum Sharks were 6 for 136 and had a chance to win the match scoring at 4 runs an over. However, the Thunder bowlers with a real mix of experience and youth managed to take wickets and the last fell with an over to spare. Coolum all out for 156. Top bowlers for Thunder were Ollie Wilson 3-26, Mike Thomson 3-16 and Tyron de Kauwe 2-38. This win moves the team into third place on the table. Next Saturday they play the last placed Nambour Cutters at Read Park in a day/ night match. THIRDS: The Sunday match was played at Read Park which showed off the cricket fields ability to dry out quickly. The home team, Thunder bowled first and did their very best to take wickets of the strong Caboolture Snakes batting line up and at the same time restrict their runs. After 40 overs the Snakes had posted 6 for 176 which the Thunder boys thought was achievable. The best bowler for Thunder was Steve Hill 2-30 while the other wickets were shared. Batting second and needing to score at 4.4 runs an over, the boys started well but wickets kept tumbling throughout the afternoon; some to intelligent bowling and some to poor shots. In the second last over, Thunder lost their last wicket with the score 18 runs short of the target. There were good knocks from Steve Hill 26, Daniel Cooke 20 and Ben Wilson who remained not out on 24.
Teenager Alex Dillewaard scoring a 50 in Under 15s but also plays Fourth Grade in the afternoons. Next Saturday the team travel to Glasshouse to take on the Rangers. FOURTHS: The match on Sunday at Coolum started with a hope that that the rain would hold off and the teams would be able to play. With more rain on the way and limited overs to be bowled, Thunder decided that batting first would be the play. They lost the toss but were sent into bat anyway. A positive start from Queensland Over 60s batsman, Tony Watson (55) opening with Ben Blackwell. After a couple of wickets fell, next in line was the veteran Kent Officer who scored a quick fire 54 off 39, hitting 3 sixes! Some runs were still needed when Aedan Mayo (17) and Anthony Blackwell (6) stepped in. With 3 overs to go the plan was to get some quick runs and eventually the team finished on 162.
Opening the bowling for Thunder, Jackson Holland took a wicket in the first over. From the other captain Matt Mayo was keeping it tight with consecutive dot balls. Then Jackson took another in the 5th over. More good bowling from Matt saw him take one in the 8th. With two new bowlers on (Kent Officer and Aedan Mayo), Thunder were looking good and then Aedan took his first in the 18th over. Coolum’s Dad and son partnership had the fielding team worried but then the reliable Jackson broke the partnership. With the Coolum’s captain in and him seeing them like beach balls some exceptional bowling was required to knock him over. Luckily Anthony Blackwell had ball in hand and took the big wicket. He then took another and was on a hat trick. With one over to go and 12 runs to win, the skipper (Matt Mayo) put himself back on when tight bowling was called
Pictures: MATT MAYO for. Fortunately the team can always rely on their captain to get the job done and Coolum finished 7 short of the total. A good win and an amazing day of cricket that came down to a last over thriller. Always a good game against Coolum and a much-needed win coming close to finals time. Next Saturday the team host the Maroochydore Swans at Dale Officer Oval. OTHER MATCHES NEXT WEEKEND: The ladder leaders Firsts will play Coolum Sharks at their ground starting at 1pm. Fifth Grade will travel to Palmwoods to take on the Hawks. All the players and club supporters are hoping for a few good weekends of weather as the season heads towards the finals in March.

Noosa Junior weightlifter Taj Marsh competed at the World Junior Weightlifting Championships in Guadalajara Mexico.
Taj left a lasting impression in Mexico by securing his best total of the season at 305kg: with an impressive snatch of 136kg and a clean and jerk of 169kg.
The paddlers from Noosa Outriggers are getting geared up for a big day of paddling at Shorncliffe this Saturday.
A young man on the rise Weightlifting In the words of coach Woogie Marsh, “A culmination of two years of training and competition, culminates an impressive performance.” The athlete of whom he speaks is our Noosa Junior weightlifter Taj Marsh and the event was the World Junior Weightlifting Championships in Guadalajara Mexico. In a field that can only be described as fierce competition from some of the world’s finest junior weightlifters, the exceptional performance of this young athlete saw him placed in 17th position overall. When you consider that this was a result of just two years solid training, (in a sport that gets little or no media attention), his accomplishment is not only a testament to his skill and determination, but also a promising indication of his potential for future success. Taj left a lasting impression by securing his best total of the season at 305kg: with an impressive snatch of 136kg and a clean and jerk of 169kg. “Looking ahead, Taj is eager to build on his achievements, and aims to further improve his world ranking in the upcoming 2024 season. With one more year remaining in the junior ranks Taj aspires to leave no stone unturned as he continues his training routine.” Embarking on his journey towards the next milestone his eyes are set on the 2024 World Junior Weightlifting Championships. With his tough training routine and his burning passion for the sport, his goal is to surpass his previous achievements’: thus, making a significant impact on the global weightlifting stage. With the upcoming season commencing in mid- February 2024, the Oceanic Championships will be the first major competition on Taj’s schedule. With Taj representing his country he is poised to demonstrate his talent, discipline, and unwavering dedication to his craft. Taj’s attitude to not only his life in general, but also his pursuit of excellence, inspires fellow weightlifters and also serves as a beacon of hope for our young athletes throughout this great nation. “His story exemplifies the rewards that come with hard work, resilience and a steady-fast commitment to one’s goals.” The dedication, combined with his exceptional talent is sure to make waves in the weightlifting world for seasons to come. Despite his success his feet are still firmly placed on mother earth. He always extends his heartfelt thanks to all individuals that have supported him throughout his journey thus far. He also expresses his gratitude to The Chartits, CrossFit 4566 Noosa Barbell Club, Virus Oceanic, Noosa SUP Co, Integrated Rehab Centre, Noosa Heads Surf Club, the Sports Hall of Fame, and Elanem Clinical Nutrition. Their unwavering support, guidance and contribution has played a significant role . He acknowledges their invaluable assistance along his path to success. 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 19 January, 2024
Noosa Outriggers will send 18 crews to compete at the Polynesian Va’a-Alo Outrigger Canoe Club.
Ironwoman Lana Rogers, right, with coach Sharlene Kelly, raced from an interview to rescue swimmers in trouble. Away from the world of weights Taj makes his contribution to the community by serving as a patrol member of Patrol 4 Main Beach Noosa Head Surf Lifesaving Club. His father and coach Woogie Marsh, is also on the coaching panel of the Noosa Nippers. When you consider, that in this country weightlifting is a sport that only gets media and support during the Olympics, the support that it’s athletes do get, is justly deserved. So, it is only right that the team at Noosa Today, plus all sponsors involved, receive public acknowledgment for ongoing support of the athletes of our community. Thank you one and all. Rowing For the Noosa Heads SLSC the boat section has indeed a very busy rowing season ahead. Under the control of boat Captain Adam Hammersley, this section which was formed in 1949, has a very proud record in competition. At present, all indications are that on the weekend of the 15-18 Feburary at the Australian Surf Rowers League Championships, (to be held at Lawn Vic.) the club will have some 8 crews in the water. This is indeed good news. The good work being done by the boat coaches Stu Cooper, Dave Tomba and Mick Gardner is starting to show fruition: and the timing could not be better. The fact that Netanya Noosa has come on board as the major sponsor, donating a new boat has been a tremendous step forward and
we cannot thank the Netanya people enough. Apart from donation of the boat the fact that boat rowing is a team sport which requires a crew of 5 plus the support group, is of the utmost importance in surf club life. It builds team spirit and in many instances life- long mateship. On February 27 at Maroochydore, an invitation only surf boat carnival will be held. The purpose of this to pick teams from all divisions, that will represent Queensland in interstate competition. Also, on the boat agender, is the 3rd round of the Queensland Cup. At present Noosa has a total of 12 crews registered: 2 junior girls 2 junior boys and in the 23 division 2 crews, I girls and1 boys. For reserve grade its I girls and 1 boy’s followed by 2 master crews. On a less serious note, a certain sweep noted for his hard nose attitude regarding training, found to his embarassment, (but the joy of the crew,) that he went for an unexpected swim during training in the Noosa Bar. To our local people who were fishing and swimming in this vicinity, your laughter and applause has been so noted: and we thank you sincerely. Outriggers The paddlers from Noosa Outriggers are getting geared up for a big day of paddling at Shorncliffe this Saturday. The club is sending a total of eighteen crews to compete at the Poly-
nesian Va’a-Alo Outrigger Canoe club. There will be competitors right through from the Juniors to the Platinum Division.(70 yrs. and up). This competition will be a great tune up for our paddlers heading south for the Sydney Harbour Challenge later in the year. This is a club that is definitely on the move: their competition calendar is full. Perhaps one of their strongest points, is the support being shown to junior members in the club. This plus their attitude toward the history and traditions of the sport, can only serve to establish a strong and successful club. Surf sports Last weekend at Maroubra Beach, Noosa’s Kai Thompson competing in the Super Surf League Beach Flags Events, on Saturday and Sunday, won both. And this was against the best in the country. His performance, over several seasons must now rate him one of the best beach competitors to ever represent Noosa. Meanwhile back home at Coolum Beach the Noosa Surfboard Riding Team won the overall point score at the Queensland State Championships: Noosa 136 points, Coolum 60 and Maroochydore 57 The surf competition this weekend, will be very busy with two major carnivals. For our locals on the Sunshine coast the Surf Rescue Championships will be held at Mooloolaba: and this is always a great carnival. Also at Manly NSW, a very testing weekend of competition, known as the Summer of Surf will be held. This is always considered one of the major carnivals and the competition is always top of the surfing world. In a separate incident, last Sunday, the Nutri Grain Series was finished for the day. Rated number one in the series, Lana Rogers, was being interviewed by a journo, when all of a sudden, the mass rescue alarm of Rescue, Rescue, Rescue, was called. Without a moment’s hesitation, Rogers turned, ran across the sand, grabbed a rescue board and joined other clubbies to assist where needed. This shows that this young lady is no prima donna: she is also a clubbie, who goes where needed in a moment of crisis. Well done young lady, well done.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com
Helmets on for Pipe Pro We’re just days away from the world tour season-opening Lexus Pipe Pro (the event which in my mind will always be the Pipe Masters, regardless of the legals) and already the North Shore of Oahu is littered with the survivors of near-death encounters with the shallow, jagged reef. Big wave charger and all-round brilliant waterman Kai Lenny was the latest of six dangerous encounters so far this winter season, hitting the bottom during the recent Backdoor Shootout event. “First time wearing a helmet at Pipeline and it may have saved my life,” he posted on social media from his bed at the Pali Momi medical centre near Pearl Harbour. “I don’t remember much except that it was during my heat and the lifeguards sat me down in a chair at the [Ehukai] Beach Park. I have a solid concussion and some bleeding out of my left ear.” “The helmet,” wrote Aussie contender and friend Jack Robinson, accompanied by two sets of prayer hands, a reference not just to Lenny’s conversion to helmet-wearing but to the more general acceptance of surfers of all levels that if you’re going to ride powerful waves over shallow reefs, then it makes a lot of sense to protect your noggin. Tom Carroll recognised that more than 30 years ago, but it took a long time for many of the most macho of big barrel junkies to catch on. I’m not sure how many of the five previous Pipe survivors this season were wearing head protection, but they all knew what they were doing, proof that ability is not necessarily going to keep you out of harm’s way. The list includes world number four Joao Chianca from Brazil, Tahitian Eimeo Czermak and Pipe local Koa Rothman. Just a few days after Kai Lenny’s near disaster, a novice surfer was dragged unconscious from the break on a four-foot day, reminding me of my one and only experience of the fabled Pipeline back in the 1970s. Okay, I wasn’t quite a novice but my previous North Shore surfing had been confined to the more user-friendly Rocky Point, Jocko’s or Chun’s, with a couple of not very memorable sorties into the washing machine that is Sunset Beach. Pipe on an overhead day looked do-able, so without seeking the advice of more learned friends I paddled out alone and started looking for a familiar face in the crowded lineup. Finally I found one, but as I paddled towards my Hawaiian friend, hoping to watch what he did and follow suit, he saw me coming and whistled and pointed at an oncoming set. He was calling me into a wide one, which probably offered an easier exit strategy into the channel. Without thinking, I paddled and launched over the ledge. The drop wasn’t long but I barely made it, turned up the face unsteadily and right into the barrel. I still remember the momentary thrill of seeing the reef flying past beneath me until the wave sectioned and shut down in front of me, throwing me from my board. Moments later I hit the reef, not with my head but with my heel. And then my knee and my elbow. I hit the surface, took a deep breath and checked the damage. Just a bit of bark here and there but I was bleeding profusely. I would have to go in. Phew! In later years I would become comfortable surfing many reef breaks of note in Indonesia and Fiji, but I never tried to surf Pipeline again, and after a December morning in 2005, I never wanted to. I’d been at the ASP world championship awards banquet the night before and was walking off a hangover between Sunset Beach and Pipeline when I suddenly noticed a commotion on the beach in front of Ehukai Beach Park. As I drew closer I could see that the crowd on the sand was watching a large group of surfers pushing a motionless surfer on a longboard through the shorebreak. By the time the lifeguards started CPR at the water’s edge, I was part of the crowd. When I saw the surfer’s face I went into shock. It was Malik. I didn’t know Malik Joyeux very well, but he

had recently joined our team at Quiksilver Europe, a team rider for the Gotcha brand, part of our stable. Just 25 that fateful day at Pipe, the French Tahitian was only at the start of a pro surfing career, but he was already recognised as one of the world’s leading big wave riders for his performances at T’eahupoo and winning the 2003 Billabong XXL Tube of the Year.
He was fearless on the surf and gracious out of it. Everyone loved Malik, and here he lay dead on the sand. According to reports, Malik had dropped into a thick peak, fell backwards and took the full impact of the lip, breaking his board and ripping his leg-rope from him. Surfers and
swimmers searched frantically but by the time they found him way up the beach at Pupukea, he had been underwater for 15 minutes. I hope Pipe is pumping for the Lexus Pro next week, I hope defending champ Jack Robinson wins it again, and I hope all competitors take Jack’s advice and wear a helmet.

NOOSA BLOSSOMS DURING SUMMER PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IT’S a wonderful time of year in Noosa with the smell of frangipani flowers in the air and the red of the poinciana blossoms creating a blaze of colour. Visitors have been enjoying themselves during the holiday period and there has been strong inquiry in property, despite the early rain. Patrick and Clare Sherwood of Tom Offermann Real Estate had 26 groups through the lakefront Tewantin residence at the first open for inspection. That number will swell to almost 100 before the three-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-car free-standing lakefront residence at 1/1 Werin St goes to auction Saturday, 20 January, at 3pm. Most of the early interest has been from locals downsizing or making a sidewise move, Clare said, as well as those from Brisbane looking for a weekender. The main appeal has been the complete lake frontage, the private location and the fact it is presented new. Having lift access from the three-car garage adds to the appeal. The free-standing residence has constantly-changing, 270-degree across Lake Doonella. A brilliant red poinciana almost frames the statement front entrance that comes with a split-marble feature. Completed in December 2023 and designed by architect Peter Willis, the home encapsulates the secluded and private location. The open-plan living space comes with plush carpet and eco-gas fireplace, while a wall of glass sliders seemingly disappear to reveal the undercover alfresco terrace and the water views.

ON THE COVER
CLASSIC BEACHFRONT COTTAGE IMAGINE having unimpeded views to the north from the headland of the Noosa National Park, sweeping north-easterly across Sunshine Beach and the Coral Sea, and stretching 180-degrees south to Mooloolaba. Imagine waking to waves breaking on the foreshore, grabbing the kids, board and pooch and heading 40-metres via a dedicated access to the dazzling white sand and best surf breaks. The beach house is poised in dunes right on the beachfront of one of the most illustrious streets in Sunshine Beach... many say Queensland, and the street is continuing to transform as magnificent designer homes replace the classics of the 60s and 70s. Blessed with many of the original classic Queenslander characteristics such as white weatherboard and shutters as well as mature banksias in the garden, the lightfilled residence is always in a sunny mood. The upper-level features capacious living and dining spaces with beautiful polished timber floors, lofty vaulted ceiling, woodburning fireplace, sunroom with upper height shutters on three sides and of course ubiquitous fans. Slide away the banks of doors to the timber terrace which extends the width of the house and is elevated to fully embrace the lofty perch looking over the glittering Coral Sea. Don’t be surprised to see whales breaching, paragliders chasing tail winds and stoked board riders. Breakfast with a side of ocean views? Yes, even from the large kitchen with white stone-topped cabinetry and premium appliances. Also, with those magical Coral Sea views and on this level is the main bedroom with shutters, built-in robes, ensuite with bathtub and access to the terrace. Entertaining options indoors and out continue downstairs with the major space being a living/studio combo or alternatively a leisure space for all seasons and reason especially with an undercover terrace overlooking the rear garden with bird attracting grevilleas and she-oaks, and beyond to the beach and breakers. Two additional bedrooms have built-ins, one opens to the terrace plus there are two bathrooms, one doubling as a laundry. There is also a store room and a separate side entrance.
“There is so much to love about living in a true beach house in the front row of Seaview Terrace, with nothing but the sand and sea in front,“ says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tim McSweeney. “It scales the heights of desirability, connects to the beauty of the surrounds, plus waking to the sound of birdsong and the surf as well as watching dawn send shimmering rays over the Coral Sea, are all truly mesmerising. “On a fitness level, why not mix it with pleasure by walking to Noosa Heads via Alexandria Bay in the Noosa National Park, similarly vibrant Sunshine Beach village with its popular restaurants, cafes and bars.“ Facts and features: Land Area: 556m2 House Area: 307m2 Terraces: timber decking NE facing 2.9m x 13.7m upper-level undercover off main bedroom, dining & kitchen; 3.8m x 9.6 with terrace plus 3.8m x 4. 1m undercover off bedroom, living & studio NE facing About: multiple living areas incl sunroom with shutters 3 sides, living & dining upper level with vaulted 3.6m ceiling, timber floors & wood burning fireplace plus living/studio/leisure space lower level; 3-bedrooms - main with shutters, terrace access & sea views, 3 built-in robes & ensuite w double vanity, shower & bath tub upper level; 2 bedrooms w built-in robes, 1 wth terrace access & sea views + 2 bathrooms, 1 with laundry facilities, 1 with store room adjacent on lower level; laundry with Simpson washer & dryer Kitchen: ocean views; C-shaped w white stone-topped white 2 pac cabinetry incl semi-island breakfast bar; Electrolux fridge plus Westinghouse small fridge; Gorenje cooktop & oven; Miele dishwasher plus pantry Exterior: banksias, she oaks, grevilleas, native birdlife plus lawn rear garden Location: dedicated beach access to dogfriendly North Sunshine Beach nearby; close to access for Noosa National Park; walk to Noosa Heads plus Hastings Street via Alexandria Bay; popular restaurants, cafes, bars plus boutiques at the Sunshine Beach village are nearby, also the Sunshine Beach Surf Club plus patrolled beach. ●
