Ruby Rose Adored all over the globe, could Ruby Rose be the coolest DJ-turned-film star ever?

H

Story: Karen Anne Overton

aving achieved the impossible in making the transition from MTV presenter and model to DJ… to Hollywood superstar, you might expect actress Ruby Rose to have assumed a rather aloof persona. After all, with increased infamy and success comes vulnerability to criticism and, particularly when you’re as lovely and captivating as Rose, almost daily intrusion of the press.

But the Melbourne native has maintained her down-to-earth approach to life and media duties, retaining an almost goofy charm that appears to have held her in high esteem with both the public and her Hollywood peers.

“I don’t think anyone can change who they truly are, no matter what life throws at them,” she says, “unless you become so detached from reality, and I’m definitely not going down that route. It’s my past that shapes me, not the present.”

Indeed, Rose remains extremely proud of her Antipodean heritage, and despite settling in Los Angeles, she and girlfriend Jessica Origliasso -

singer and guitarist with The Veronicas - are often spotted in the musician’s hometown of Brisbane, and have even been spied holidaying right here on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

Rose also remains delightfully starstruck when confronted by her childhood heroes. She recalls gleefully the time she ‘tortured’ co-star Toni Collette on the set of her first film, XXX: Return of Xander Cage. “I couldn't help myself. She's one of the biggest stars at home and I consider her one of my icons, and you want to be respectful, but I just couldn't help myself.

“I kept shouting, 'You're terrible Muriel',” says Rose with a grin. “I'm surprised I didn't get a slap!”

Stunningly beautiful with a razoredged toughness, the 32-yearold’s rapid ascent through the continues next page...

Hollywood ranks comes as no surprise. It all began with her stint as a duplicitous inmate in Orange is the Black back in 2015, which quickly led to roles in a cluster huge action blockbusters, including XXX: Return of Xander Cage, and the John Wick franchise opposite Keanu Reeves, not to mention her appearance in last year’s Pitch Perfect 3 in which she played a swaggering rock singer with impressive bravado.

But don’t be fooled into thinking success came easy for the brunette beauty, who had a series of hard knocks and big decisions to make along the way. She reveals that despite her detour into modelling and presenting, acting was always her first love. “I went to VCA, Victoria College of the Arts but literally within the first semester, I auditioned for MTV and ended up getting it. And it was literally like, sh*t, what do I do now?”

Rose admits to only auditioning for the presenting role in order to experience the process of rejection, or so she thought.“It was a shock, but I took the job thinking,‘great, this will probably help me get into acting at some point down the line’. But it ended up having the opposite effect, and I couldn't get an acting job in Australia to save my life. Nobody would touch me because I was too well known,” she says, adding with a chuckle: “…or at least, that's what I like to tell myself!”

Ruby Rose

The enterprising star subsequently upped sticks for LA, but encountered similar setbacks. “I ended up unemployed and sleeping on an air mattress with my dog for two years, with no work, no discernible income, going 'what the hell was I thinking?'“ she recalls. In the end, it was a phone call from Jenji Kohan, creator of Orange is the New Black, asking her to audition for the part of 10

Adored all over the globe, could Ruby Rose be the coolest DJ-turned-film star ever?

Ruby Rose continues from previous pages

lead protagonist Piper’s scheming love interest Stella, which not only ended her spell of unemployment, but also paved the way for a glimmering film career.

Now there appears to be no stopping the former presenter, as she continues to land monster roles. This year she will take on a prehistoric shark in The Meg, while also filming the third instalment of the John Wick series, as she quickly garners a reputation as ‘the action queen’, to which Rose remarks coyly: “If people are calling me that, I am beyond humbled and also at pains to convey, I should be so lucky.”

On top of her film work, she is also an active campaigner for PETA and several mental health charities, along with playing a significant role in the current cultural revolution taking place within the LGBT community. In fact, it was Rose’s short film, Break Free, in which she transforms from a long-haired femme fatale into a handsome, heavily tattooed masculine figure, which became a viral hit and launched her as a gender fluid icon, an honour which Rose doesn’t take lightly.

“It's very gratifying and kind of mind-blowing that I get to be part of a movement in society, bolstered and motivated by the media and popular culture,” she says. “There's a constant conversation about gay, lesbian, trans, gender fluidity and so much of that has come from shows like Orange and Transparent and what Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner have achieved, and to be part of that or to contribute in any small way is so very special.”

NoosaStyleLiving

Q&A Do you find a lot of ‘bad-ass’ tattooed action roles coming your way?

ROSE: For the most part. It's like that after anything you've done that's been received well. After I did Orange, I got offered three different Stellas, and I've got a lot more to give as an actor than repeat what I've done before, over and over.

That's not me, I don't like to repeat the same day if I can help it.

You seem to have struck up a strong friendship with Vin Diesel…

ROSE: : Vin is like my big brother - he's my best friend, he's my fake boyfriend! I love that man so much I can't even tell you.

In a number of your films you look very relaxed with a rifle – as a pacifist, did that come naturally to you?

ROSE: This is such a weird territory for me to be tackling because I am completely gun shy I am the ultimate pacifist. I'm about love not war, and I only touched a gun for the first time when I started doing films; and then, suddenly, I'm doing six weeks of sniper training and hauling around these huge insane weapons. But it's such a powerful tool to pull you into character.

NS THE STORY OF A FASHION DREAM Sophisticated, raw and feminin. This was the style Jannie and Lars Schacksen dreamed of creating when they introduced the fashion brand NÜ on the Danish market in 1997.

NÜ means naked in French and woman in Chinese, and it fits perfectly into the designers’ vision of fashion with a raw simplicity, pure natural materials and ethical production.

NÜ is fashion defined by a modern, provocative and laid-back design, expressed in a sexy and glamorous way. Luxurious fabrics such as silk, wool and leather embellished with handmade prints, embroideries and characteristic details of exquisite workmanship providing the unique DNA that characterizes NÜ. Feminine elements and rock ‘n’ roll vibes are combined beautifully in a passionate universe of raw masculinity and sensual femininity.

NÜ quickly became a sought after fashion brand and the company enjoyed growth year after year. The financial daily newspaper Børsen named NÜ a Gazelle company five times, most recently in 2010.

NÜ arose from a dream of creating stylish clothes featuring high quality and unique style – a dream of running a healthy company with satisfied employees that promotes social responsibility in the world with ethical production conditions. This is the dream we now give to you with NÜ.

. . . s d r o w l a c i s m i h W If you have young children, you almost cer tainly would have experienced the wonder of Ruby Red Shoes, a delightfully aware hare brought to life through the whimsical words and stunning illustrations of author and ar tist, Kate Knapp.

K

Story: Nicole Madigan napp, creator and owner of home and giftwares store, Twigseeds, began her illustrious creative career on the Sunshine Coast about 25 years ago, when she would hand-paint greeting cards to sell at the Brisbane markets, with her first official exhibition taking place at the Noosa Regional Gallery .

"My relationship with the Sunshine Coast is a long and happy one,” says Knapp.

"In the early 70s my parents took us to Noosa for holidays. That was the beginning of many happy years holidaying in such a magical part of the world.

"Those were the days you walked along Hastings Street fresh out of the ocean with sandy feet and not a care in the world.”

For some years, Knapp lived in the Sunshine Coast hinterlands, immersing herself in the area's very active arts and craft community.

"I was as poor as a church mouse and worked in the local coffee shop to afford my art supplies, but I felt abundantly wealthy in so many ways.

"It was a very happy and artistically fruitful time in my life.”

A loyal following grew from those humble beginnings. Today the

18

NoosaStyleLiving

Twigseeds brand includes greeting cards, books, bookmarks, diaries, journals, notebooks, calendars and gift boxes which are stocked in Australia and New Zealand through independent retailers.

This year, the UK will be introduced to Knapp's much-loved bunny, Ruby Red Shoes, a character inspired by childhood pet, Harvey the bunny.

Having a children's book published is notoriously difficult, but for Knapp, the process was somewhat reversed, in that finding the publisher was relatively easy, but the creation of the book itself proved a challenge.

"I actually had the publisher first,” says Knapp.

"The character of Ruby had been born, I met with the publisher and shared my ideas and rough story line. "When the publisher came back to me and commissioned the first Ruby Red Shoes book that’s when I started putting pen to paper."

It was this process that Knapp found difficult. "It was physically and mentally challenging. My painting hand has been subjected to many years of detailed illustration which has taken a toll. "There was physio, acupuncture and Pilates sessions to keep my hand and body functioning.

"I would attend regular counselling sessions for mind and spirit health and an enjoyed all things organic for fuel and general wellbeing."

For Knapp, taking the time for self-care in an environment that nourishes her is integral to her physical and mental health, and with

several family members calling Flaxton home, the Sunshine Coast has become the perfect refuge - one she seeks out every two to four weeks.

"I love being surrounded by natural beauty,” says Knapp.

"The proximity to the beach and the bush is perfect for me. One moment I’m walking on the beach and swimming in the ocean and the next I’m bushwalking and bird watching – the perfect combination."It’s the perfect place to unwind and catch up with family. I read and relax, take time to meditate, walk on the grass to earth myself and enjoy my mother’s cooking. “I also spend special time with my sister who has a lovely homewares shop in Maleny. “At night we sit outside under the stars and contemplate life. The air is so clear we can see the Milky Way – it’s truly magical."

But while Knapp’s roots are planted firmly on the Sunshine Coast, her branches are spreading far and wide, with Ruby’s impending UK launch along with Twigseeds expansion into the USA earlier this year. “It is very stimulating to understand new markets and territories - like building a new community of friends.

“Spreading Ruby’s message is of great importance to me so that will continue in the future.”

NS ENBACCI Every plant has stem cells; but unlike humans, every plant cell has the potential to dedifferentiate itself and grow into an entirely new plant. This regenerative ability to self-renew has been of significant interest to the beauty community for a number of years, and is scientifically proven to stimulate human skin cell growth in order to strengthen, shape and improve aesthetic qualities.

Harvesting the potent and nourishing benefits of the purple grape, fruit stem cell skincare brand, Enbacci, is at the forefront of biotechnology research and application, replicating large quantities of the grape’s high-quality active ingredients to create a universally suitable 3-step skincare range called Vitis Vinifera.

Containing high concentrations of antioxidant-rich anthocyanin, the 3-step range which includes a gel cleanser, rejuvenating toning essence and moisturising essential crème, adapts to different skin type physiologies and is designed to offer a number of benefits, including anti-ageing, skin tone improvement, protection from UV, acne reduction and deep hydration.

The Vitis Vinifera range is developed in Australian laboratories and contains other nourishing ingredients such as witch hazel, green tea and aloe vera to purify skin from excess oils, refine the appearances of pores and fine lines, and deeply soothe, repair and hydrate.

Ideal for all skin types, including those of a sensitive nature, the Vitis Vinifera range is also available in a travel kit for those who lead a nomadic lifestyle.

Story: Nicole Madigan

In a story reminiscent of the movie itself, just one screening of the groundbreaking film Eat, Pray, Love, was all it took for Sunshine Coast educator Karey Goodall to pack her bags, and head to the other side of the world.

I

t’s a cliché story," says Ms Goodall, deputy principal at Sunshine Beach State School.

"For me it challenged me to think about the wider world and that life doesn’t have to stay the same, it can be complex, it can involve change and we can be mobile and not locked into living in one location."It reminded me of the power of cultural learning, the need for this and the beauty it could bring."

That afternoon, Ms Goodall dragged her husband to a screening.

"We had only been in our Buddina home for a few years after working for many years in Western Queensland, had just finished some major renovations, had 2 children and stable government jobs.

"Life was pretty good for us, great in fact, yet the movie’s message made us reflect on whether this was our life for good, or whether we should challenge ourselves and embrace a significant change. "That evening I literally googled international school and Dubai and the school I ended up working at for the next four years popped up.“I was interviewed for the role of Head of Junior School at the Australian International School UAE, was fortunate to be offered the position and within a couple of months of doing the google search we were on an Emirates flight bound for Dubai!!”

26

NoosaStyleLiving

Following a year teaching at the same school, Ms Goodall’s husband, Darren, a Queensland Police Officer, secured a position as a Training Director for a private company, providing specialist police, security and military training courses to the Abu Dhabi Police Department. Ms Goodall says Dubai was everything they dreamed of and more, describing the city as “Disneyland in the desert,” “The city is aesthetically mind blowing. The architecture, world class,” she says.

The shopping centres and facilities second to none.

“You can live a very privileged life there though this is something that we as a family were very conscious of. “We were aware that this was not our reality and so we immersed ourselves in the richness of the culture.” A long way from the colour of Noosa, living in Dubai offered the Goodalls a lifestyle that was different - yet equally as magical - as the one they left behind. “For about 7 months of the year we spent most of our spare time at the beach, which is exactly how we would do it here in Australia.

“But the beaches themselves are very different to Australian beaches in that there are rarely waves and the water is quite salty and very, very

UAE lifestyle from the desert to the sea... clear, to the point where you can see fish and shells clearly on the bottom.

“For the other 5 months of the year, we spent most of our time in shopping malls as the heat makes it pretty difficult to be outside – provides a great excuse to shop.”

Ms Goodall says one of the biggest differences was their newfound ability to travel the world. “Dubai is one of the largest transit hubs in the world.

“We would often drive past the main Dubai airport and see planes with different logos on them and wonder where they came from – a google search back at home then gave us ideas about where to travel as a family.

“Budapest was a place we definitely wanted to visit so we quickly looked at flights and planned our next trip. “We also had a map of the world in our apartment and would use this as part of our family planning for travel. There were so many places to visit just a shorflight away that living there really did open the world up to us.”

There are also visible cultural differences between the United Arab Emirates and Noosa – the main one being the clothing worn, with the UAE a lot more conservative compared with the relaxed style of a Sunshine Coast beach. But, Ms Goodall says, as a woman, she felt highly respected.“I had heard, and I do believe the media at times is responsible for this, that as a woman your rights can be restricted. “I found this not to be the case. Often in situations I found myself being treated beyond respected and put on a pedestal.”

they finish school they may study abroad and work there. For me as a child I never thought thinking this way was possible.”

But while the family cherished their time in Dubai, returning to Noosa saw them appreciate the city in a whole new light.“The colours.“The simple things like how green the trees were, how blue the sky was. “Seeing stars at night time. “Being in the desert can provide a landscape that can be a bit ‘greyscale’ and the sky is often hazy from light sand storms. “Landing home and driving from the airport to Noosa, we all were just spellbound by the colours.”

While the difference in culture was stark, Karey says the experience has changed the entire family for the better.

The return to home, resulted in a culture shock of a different kind. The family left their Sunshine Coast home in 2011, when the children were just 7 and 2, returning four years later “Our youngest still slept in a nappy and had a bottle at night.“He had no memory of Australia as we left, so for him returning, Australia was the foreign country. This in itself was an interesting experience as he encountered reverse culture shock. “I remember on one of our first days after returning to Australia how he asked or a water. I pointed to the tap. He stood there frozen not known what to do. For him, his whole life he knew not to drink the water from taps, only bottled water. Moments like this I remember!”

While the difference in culture was stark, Ms Goodall says the experience has changed the entire family for the better. “Australia is so geographically removed from the rest of the world that it can be a challenge to engage in genuine cultural learning.“The children see themselves as global citizens. “They often tell us when

These days, Ms Goodall spends her time either at the Sunshine Beach State High School as deputy principal, or relaxing at the beach. “Whilst I don my heels and makeup on workdays in my professional capacity, the stripped back Karey is a very relaxed one, with no frills on weekends and often wearing a caftan and thongs. “In my spare time, at the beach and on the waterways is where you’ll find me, and the Noosa area has some of the best in the world, let alone Australia!

“Whether it’s a drive into Hastings Street and a couple of hours at Main Beach, or on a pontoon boat on the Noosa River, water is central to our family activities. “I’m also a soccer and tennis Mum with both of my boys heavily involved in sports activities in the local area.”

But while the Sunshine Coast is where the beach-loving family reside, Ms Goodall admits home really is where the heart is. “Right now you’ll find us with our feet in the sand and our heads in the stars!

“I’ve very much come to the realisation that it’s not a structure that holds us to the place we call a home, rather it’s the connections we make.”

Autumn hair colours 2018

By Liz Kramar @icon studios Hairdressing make up & photography

Soft contrasting roots The transformation from brunette to blonde can be quite a dramatic change, for easier convenience ask your hairdresser to leave your roots a nice soft brown; this intentional contrast gives a softer beachier look and allows hair to grow out with less maintenance.

Millennial Pink Millennial pink has taken over just about everything from furniture to kitchen appliances so it is hardly surprising that the rosy hue has made its way to hair colour, the petal pink walks the fine line between pale blush and the vibrant pinks which dominated in 2017. The millennials will seriously love this new tone.

Fiery Fade This look has been huge on the runways and in editorial; this incredible ombre starts with a bright yet natural copper root which fades into peach/strawberry ends. The end result is one which is both intense yet incredibly soft.

Grey If you are considering letting nature take its course now is the time- woman are actually colouring their hair grey. The secret however is deciding whether you would like a silver or charcoal finish to best blend your existing colour once this is achieved it is essential to maintain with a purple shampoo to eliminate any brassy tones from showing through.

Carob This is a rich warm shade of brown which does not cross over into any red territories-as so many warm brown shades do; making it incredibly flattering for all different skin undertones. Shades can range from light right through to dark brunette.

Balayage and baby lights Ask your hairdresser to combine these two highlighting techniques for a bright beautiful multidimensional look, baby lights throughout the roots and mid lengths and balayage through ends, the end result is much softer than traditional balayage and face framing baby lights add a glow to the facial features.

Pearlescent Hair With a cool glossy finish pearlescent hair works on all shades of blonde ranging from gold through to platinum, if you are looking to take the plunge into the pearlescent zone be warned achieving this look involves stripping the hair of as much warmth as possible so it can take a few sessions in the colourists chair before walking away with a perfect pearl sheen.

28

NoosaStyleLiving

Blonde The colour which will never die and for a very good reason, bronde sparkles blonde in light yet looks mocha in shadows and is suitable to most skin colours and undertones. The trick to a perfect bronde is keeping it on the cool side and eliminating brassiness. This look may require anywhere from 1-3 sessions with your colourist depending on your start colour in order to achieve a cool result.

Pumpkin Spice This flavour is perfect for more than your favourite latte. Giving hair a multidimensional look reminiscent of autumn leaves in the sunlight, this trend originally popped up last year; however it is making a resurgence in an even bigger way this year with lovers of copper hair popping up all over social media.

Pumpkin spice is definitely a colour which pops and makes a beautiful statement heading into the cooler months.

The sun shines brighter

at Sunshine Butterflies...

Sunshine Butterflies, is in the business of changing lives, and that’s what they do ever y day at their new headquar ters Our Backyard in the Noosa countr yside.

F

ounded in 2010, the Sunshine Butterflies journey began when Leanne Walsh and her husband Damien’s son Curtis was born 13 weeks premature in 1995 with Cerebral Palsy.

Leanne’s personal experience as a mother of a child with a disability, combined with her passion and dedication, as well as her frustration at the lack of disability support services available, led her to establish Sunshine Butterflies.

The centre's ethos is to provide a better future for people with disabilities - and to empower families by providing a supportive and inclusive butterfly ‘family’- to help them achieve their own goals for a happy, fulfilled life.

Sunshine Butterflies aims to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ for disability support services, by offering a wonderful array of participation-driven projects at Our Backyard. The purpose-built 5 acre learning, respite, educational and recreational facility provides life skills, recreation and learning opportunities for people living with a disability and their families.

Recently, the Sunshine Butterflies launched a major fundraising initiative, called the Butterfly Appeal - at the Tewantin Community Bendigo Bank Branch, selling ceramic,handmade butterflies to raise much-needed funds to complete Our Backyard in Cooroibah.

Their goal is to raise $100,000 to finish capital works and major infrastructure projects at the property.

The branch helped to kick start the campaign with a donation of $5,000 towards the construction of the new ‘Family Central’ facilities, which will allow Sunshine Butterflies to provide crucial Advisory and Counselling services to people living with a disability and their families, as well as Respite, Play and other therapeutic services, including Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and much more.

The facility is already very-well appointed, offering an outdoor Accessible Swimming Pool, children’s Adventure Playground and accessible Tree House, a Kitchen for cooking classes, Early Intervention Creative Spaces, and beautifully landscaped grounds.

It's also home to numerous friendly farm animals including, cows, goats, sheep, donkey, ducks, chickens, geese, Guinea fowls, peacock, a pig and a miniature horse. These furry and feathered friends share the paddocks and stable yards, and help deliver animal therapy and animal care enrichment programs to individuals living with disability.

Their enormous new Activities Shed is currently under construction and due for completion

by April, weather permitting.

If you would like more information regarding how they might help your family, please visit their website or phone directly. The friendly staff are on-hand to give advice and moral support to the community at large.

The butterflies, handmade and glazed by our members with a disability who attend our ‘Kiss My Art’ program, range in price from $10 to $10,000. Once purchased, your name will be added to the butterfly, and they will then be hung onsite on our Tree of Change for everyone to enjoy and admire.

If you would like to purchase a butterfly to support Sunshine Butterflies, please visit their website www.sunshinebutterflies.com.au, or alternatively, drop in to your local Bendigo Bank branch at Tewantin, Marcoola, Pomona and Cooroy, or call Sunshine Butterflies directly on Ph: 07 5470 2830.

ith its towering Norfolk Pines nestled along the shoreline park, and the many wonders of nature in the surrounding National Parks and pristine beach, that form the worldrecognised Noosa Biosphere, it is now wonder that Peregian Beach is so popular.

Just over the sandhills at the southern end of the beach you'll find Peregian Environmental Park, an area of Wallum Heath, which bursts into a colourful profusion of wildflowers in Spring. On the western side is Lake Weyba National Park and Lake Weyba which feeds into the estuary at Noosa Heads. The area is rich with native wildlife and flora.

Its friendly village atmosphere and laid-back lifestyle, makes Peregian Beach a favourite destination for savvy locals and clever tourists, who are seeking a quiet shopping experience away from the bustle of Noosa Heads.

Peregian Beach offers visitors an excellent selection of casual and trendy restaurants, bars, cafĂŠs and take-aways dotted all around the central, village square - all inter-connected by quaint lanes and pathways. Visitors are free to choose the perfect spot for a coffee, luncheon or dinner. And, those wanting a picnic or fish'n'chips in the park are well catered for as well.

Tables and seating are dotted around the area to make it easy to take a little break, when seeking out the bargains on offer at the surrounding boutiques.

A market day is held on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, when live music attracts large crowds to the to the lawn infront of the Peregian Beach Surf Club.

It's definitely a family-friendly little beachside town.

hef/owner Frank Boulay of Periwinkle Restaurant in Peregian Beach, seduces diners with a taste of authentic, French bistrostyle cooking using fresh, locally grown produce, supplemented by the very best ingredients available.

New Autumn menu is as usual delicious so dont delay in trying it out...

With a leaning towards delicious fresh seafood, hand-crafted sourdough breads, char-grilled beef and local seasonal vegetables, as well as poultry and vegetarian options, the menu offers a tantalising taste of France without the price of a plane ticket. We were excited by the menu which offered such delights as Alsacian Specialty (a French pizza); Assiette de Charcuterie with duck rillette, parma ham, finnocchiona, cacciatorini, cornichon and grilled sourdough; Plump Scallops that were sweet and succulent; Steak Fritte a chargrilled Cape Grim sirloin steak, caramelised ĂŠchallote, pomme frittes with truffle oil and parmesan, green salad and bordelaise sauce; and finish off with a traditional Crepes Suzette.

The casual but classy inside/outside dining options and comprehensive wine list, fit well with the beachy seaside village feel of Peregian Beach.

The perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast, leisurely luncheon or romantic dinner.

RICK'S ARTISAN PIES…

Since the opening of Rick's Artisan Pies and Bakery in Noosaville, right next door to the new Shell garage, the lines have been getting longer and longer.

The kitchen starts working about 3.00am to keep up with the demand for the gourmet pies (confit duck and wild mushrooms), Wagyu beef, Malaysian chicken curry and vegetable pies to name just a few. Each day they seem to test a new filling, which is why they have become so popular - so quickly.

It is almost like a game - try to think up what new flavour they will have today. Of course, they also sell beautiful quiches, and decadent cakes. You can even sit on the tables outside and enjoy a good cup of coffee with a croissant if you like.

And, if you think I'm putting on weight - this is the reason. I've been taste testing everything inside, so that I can honestly tell you how good they are!

WINNERS ARE GRINNERS… Once again our favourite restaurants have figured well in the Australian Good Food and Travel Guide awards.

Danielle Gjestland 's Japanese restaurant Wasabe was named 1st for the region, with Ricky's River Bar coming in 5th; Peter Kuruvita Noosa Beach House followed at 6th, and Andrea Ravezzani's Noosa Waterfront Restaurant rounded out the group at 8th.

And the winner is: We recently attended the 2018 Jeunes Chef Competition for La Chaine des Rotisseurs.

Over the years, our editor Kaylene Murray has been one of the Queensland judges for this inspirational competition, which challenges the skills of working young chefs on the world stage.

The young chefs represent their place of work, their State and most importantly their country, if they are lucky enough to win the national competition, which pits all Australian winners against each other later this year.

This year the winner was: Ungki Lee from RAMADA Hotel Hope Harbour, Gold Coast, who only just kept ahead on points enough to pip the others at the post.

Ungki will now go on to compete at national level for his chance to compete for Australia in the near future, overseas.

They say we eat with our eyes first…and if that is truly the case, then new head-chef, Mick Ikin is taking the dining at Italian Marina Restaurant at Noosa Marina, to a whole new level.

M

ick has a long history with the Noosa region, as he previously worked in both Lindoni's and Locale. He brings with him a new freedom to be himself - and offer diners his 'new take' on Italian dishes showcasing local produce; and is presenting diners with 'art on a plate'.

Those loving the traditional northern Italian favourites need not worry, all the your favourites are still on the menu, and master pizza maker, Alex Impellizzeri is now taking control of the 3-tonne fire-red pizza oven, to deliver a great pizza every time .

With their new season menu just launched, Mick and fellow chef Marco Cannizzaro will be enticing diners to check the new food design first hand.

For those looking to be adventurous, the Blackboard specials menu changes daily - and offers new tastes, new textures and new finedining options without the excessive price tag.

Whether you choose freshly made pizzas, handmade pastas, salads, bruschetta and share plates that will make autumn dining a pleasure.

Diners will be cosy at night even if the temperatures finally start to dip over the next six months, as the restaurant has ample ceiling heaters and drop down clear walls, that still give you a view over the marina.

Mick said that he is loving the camaraderie of working at Italian Marina with Gian Marco and Alex, as well as their attentive waitstaff.

With a huge wood-fired oven taking centre stage and a gleaming kitchen hosting the energetic team of chefs, it is no wonder that the boys get along so well. No matter how busy and frenetic the pace of the restaurant, they still find a moment to have a laugh to lighten their load.

Place the potato and fennel in a small saucepan and cover with the cold stock and olive oil. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, then simmer for 10–15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Remove the vegetables from the stock and set aside.

Place the leatherjackets directly on the hot grill plate.

Cook for about 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish using a spatula. Add the potato, fennel, olives and pancetta to the grill plate at this stage, to heat through and caramelise a little while the fish is cooking. Cook the fish for a further 2–4 minutes, until just cooked through.

Remove all the ingredients from the barbecue and serve on a platter. Finish with a splash of lemon oil and a good sprinkling of sea salt.

NS Like many teenagers, Ben Heide wasn’t particularly fussy when he first began jobhunting following highschool, quickly taking on a grapepicking job at the local vineyard for some extra cash before university.

e h t n o n w o d Wine . . . t s a o C e Sunshin

U

nlike most though, this simple, Summer role prompted Ben to rethink his entire future, and within days, he returned home to give his mum the bad news - he was dropping out of his engineering degree. “I don’t think my mum really liked it when I told her that I didn’t want to go to uni to do engineering anymore,” says Mr Ben.

“So she investigated study options in the wine industry for me.“When she told me about the Oenology (wine science) degree at the University of Adelaide, I applied straight away.

“I was very fortunate that although my parents didn’t drink - they were both very supportive of me entering the wine industry.”

Ben is now a winemaker at Patritti, a family business located in the metropolitan area in Adelaide. “The winery is the last fully operational grapes to glass winery left in the suburban area.

“I love that I work for a family-owned business that has operated since 1926. My boss and fellow winemaker is also one of my best mates, and a 3rd generation Patritti family member.

“Woking for a company with such a long history means that we have a great facility to make a wide range of styles but the best bit is our vineyards.

“We get to work with estate-owned fruit from rare old vines in McLaren Vale, but also our central winery location allows us to purchase fruit from all of SA’s best regions, meaning that we can use the right grapes from the right regions for each of our wines.”

While he didn’t follow in his parent’s footsteps per se, the nature of the business does bear some resemblance to that of his father’s opal cutting business, The Opalcutter, in the beautiful village of Montville -

68

NoosaStyleLiving

high on the Blackall Range on the Sunshine Coast. “Wine is an adventure. Every wine tells a story of where its from and who made it. You can choose a wine for any occasion and no matter how much you know about wine - you will never get close to knowing it all,” “I think one of the best parts of winemaking is that it’s never the same, every vintage is different - and you never really perfect a wine, there is always little improvements that can be made.”

You could say the same about the opal cutting business, with each opal embodying its own unique style and presence.

Both father and son have made a name for themselves within their respective industries. In May, Patritti received a trophy in London at the International Wine Challenge.

“This goes along with 20 gold medals at Australian and International wine shows. This helped us at the London Wine fair to secure a European Agent and four new European importers,” Ben says.

It’s also allowed him the freedom to travel the world, doing what he loves.“I only got to work in France for a short time unfortunately, I would love to go back one day. I just love the history in Europe. The old buildings and of course, the food and wine culture.

“Recently Patritti participated in the Wine Australia’s Nordic Roadshow, we did wine tastings in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. It was a fantastic experience showing off Australian wines in such beautiful countries.”

But the next big thing on Mr Heide’s to-do list - is to head up to the Sunshine Coast to visit his dad in person, and allow his two children to explore all that the Sunshine Coast has to offer. “I’m looking forward to my first trip up there, as soon as we finish vintage this year.

“Of course, catching up with family will be the main reason for my visit - but I just can’t wait to do some photography around the Sunshine Coast, especially the mountain-top vistas from the range and the pristine beaches at Noosa.

“When I’m not making wine I love to do landscape photography, and I can’t think of many places that would be better to go for a landscape photography trip.”

And of course, there’s his dad and his stepmother's business to check out. “Being so far away, I use social media to keep up with what they are doing and offering in their shop.

“I think it’s great to see them supporting the local community and local artists and artisan craftspeople.”

The Zero F*cks Cookbook Best Food Least Effort By: Yumi Stynes Published by: Hardie Grant RRP $39.99

I

n Yumi Stynes’s very first cookbook, The Zero F*cks Cookbook, we’re given permission to give less of a f*ck about food, because this cookbook is all about stress-free scrumptiousness. Yumi is your accomplished, creative, no-bullshit friend in the kitchen. In fact, before her media career started in the year 2000, she thought she was going to be a chef, and worked as a cook in various pubs and cafes around Australia.

Like so many of us, she likes to cook, she likes to eat, and she likes to share good food with the people she loves.

But she also has a million things going on and at this point in her life, needs to impress precisely no one.

Her cooking philosophy is best summed by her very own Ten Commandments: 1. Thou shall not fuss.

2. Thou shall use the whole tub or container of something, rather than leave an annoying, unusable amount in the bottom.

3. If a step can be simplified, shortened or skipped altogether, it will be.

4. Thou shall always opt for healthier food, making thou sexier.

5. Marshmallows do not count as an ingredient. Nor does Coca Cola nor French Onion Soup. Thou art busy, not a bogan.

6. Thou shall never apologise. You cooked. That is enough.

7. When it is written “best quality” – eg, “use 200g of best quality bacon” – it means the best quality you can afford. “Best quality” does not equal “most expensive”.

8. Thou shall accept help. If you are in a situation where you have zero f*s left to give, and someone offers to help chop, or bring a plate, or a salad, or buy a cake for dessert SAY YES. 9. Thou shall follow the recipe! Every other chef says, “be creative”.

NO. I say, “FOLLOW THE RECIPE”. Every recipe has been carefully checked and tested by people who give vastly more f's than you do. Trust them. Get creative later.

10. Thou shalt have fun.

The Zero F*cks Cookbook shows how it is possible to stick to these commandments AND enjoy delicious, tasty fuss-free food. Her book is divided into five chapters: Weeknights; Barbecue; Snacks, Emergencies and Other Moments of Desperation; Sweet Stuff; and Weekends. The key is celebrating her love of eating and cooking, without unnecessarily complicating mealtime in an already busy family household.

The joy of this cookbook is that in spite of their simplicity, all Yumi’s recipes are kind of impressive: they’re thoughtful, nourishing and crowdpleasing. They let great ingredients star and, absolutely best of all - they’re EASY.

BetweentheVines ENJOY THE FRUITS OF THEIR LABOUR

Torbreck straddles the ditch…

S

uper-premium Barossa winery, Torbreck has announced their acquisition of The Escarpment Winery, in Martinborough, New Zealand. This brings together two of the New World's great wine houses from both sides of the ditch.

The Escarpment's founder, Larry McKenna, known as the 'Prince of Pinot' and an inductee into the New Zealand Wine Hall of Fame, will stay on as a winemaker and all current employees retained.

"We're excited about this strategic acquisition of one of New Zealand's finest Pinot Noir producers," said Torbreck General Manager, Peter Perrin. "Larry is an international Pinot Noir legend - and his continued influence on the wines was an essential part of this negotiation.

"Larry has spent 18 years evolving his definitive New World Pinot style, and we see this as a great marriage between Martinborough, the birthplace of New Zealand Pinot Noir - and Barossa, the home of Australian Shiraz.

The Escarpment Vineyard was established in 1999 by the Kirby and McKenna families. The assets include a 19ha vineyard, a 300 tonne winery, finished goods warehouse and a brand portfolio across three price points, ranging from the $19 - $25 bottle The Edge range - to the insight series, which includes the $90 bottle flagship Kupe single vineyard Pinot Noir.

The 2013 Kupe was the only Australasian wine in Wine Spectator's Top 10 wines of 2015, and the 2016 Kupe Pinot Noir was recently rated the highest scoring New Zealand wine, by the influential Wine Advocate Magazine.

The Escarpment also produces Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and a Burgundian-style Chardonnay.

Sensational Zonin Prosecco historical offering... Cuvée 1821...

Once a year, a special opportunity arises for lovers of fine wines, as Seppeltsfield Barossa in South Australia, releases another bottling of Australia's rarest wine - the Para 100 Year Old Vintage Tawny.

T

here are less than 600 bottles of wine available this year, vintaged a century ago in 1918. Over the course of 100 Summers and 100 Winters, the 1918 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny has been maturing within the bluestone walls of Seppeltsfield's Centennial Cellar.

If owning a time capsule of history, or tasting the essence of perfection is of interest to you, Seppeltsfield invite you to secure your bottle as soon as possible.

In addition to the 1918 Para release, Seppeltsfield would also like to invite you to browse the latest 'milestone' vintage bottlings, which have now been added to the Centennial Collection offerings. Just 26 bottles each of 1928 (90 year old), 1938 (80), 1948 (70), 1958 (60), 1968 (50), 1978 (40) in 375ml formats are now available, making it the ultimate gift for friends or family with significant birthdays this year.

Alternatively, indulge yourself in one of the many very special vintages available from the Centennial Collection, dating as far back as the 1880s. This is your opportunity to taste the vintage from your own birth year.

The perfect Prosecco now wrapped in blue…

This light and delicate sparkling wine, has quickly become the everyday celebration drink of choice across Australia. Zonin Prosecco is now synonymous with enjoying and celebrating those special summer moments and the newly designed bottle is yet another reason to raise your glass.

Prosecco is made from the Glera grape, which comes from the Veneto region in North Eastern Italy.

The bubbles in prosecco are created using the Charmat process, which, unlike Champagne, involves creating bubbles en masse; the bubbles that result are lighter than those in Champagne.

Zonin Prosecco’s mix of delicate almond notes with fruity green apple elements, hints of citrus and lowery aromas makes it suitable for all occasions - and for both genders. While its light bubbles make it an ideal and versatile drink that can be savoured by itself, or as a key ingredient in refreshing autumn cocktails.

This is a dry and fresh style prosecco, perfect as a late afternoon aperitif.

Why not try it with a luscious berry pavlova for your next luncheon with friends or family.

The perfect cocktail... to showcase both Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin and Fever-tree mixers.

You'll need: Highball glass Fresh ice 50ml Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin Aromatic Tonic to taste (1/2 a bottle) Lemon zest Method: Fill a tall glass with fresh ice. Pour in your gin and top with Fever-Tree Aromatic tonic. Run the lemon zest around the rim of the glass before placing it into the glass.

Zonin Prosecco is available from Dan Murphy’s and BWS nationwide. RRP $13.99.

1918 100 year-old Para VintageTawny RRP $$700 for 100ml & $2,000 for 375ml.

2018 Window Trends Jenny Brown, National Marketing Manager, Luxaflex Window Fashions offers her insights into 2018 interior design and window trends for your Autumn makeover:

It's the year for Reinvention: Taking the traditional and innovating it for the modern space of 2018 and beyond. This is where the old becomes new to create comfort within a space through the use of colour and texture. Unsurprisingly, comfort and textiles enjoy a natural affinity and come together to exude a soft, gentle tactility. The approach to colour will be to access highly immersive seasonal inspirations and apply these to a variety of textures elevating them into the new.

This reinvention trend is related to the urbanisation phenomenon that's going to have a very strong presence in the work of residential and commercial interiors. From an interior perspective its come about due to the amount of attention and information being communicated on human waste globally and the domination of Nomad living.

2018 evolution of Printed Fabrics with a focus on botanics/florals both subtle and bold: Originally seen influencing the well-being trend in 2017 with the use of botanic prints in very human comforting colours, pale warmer shades (e.g.

76

NoosaStyleLiving

drift wood pinks etc., not cool crisp tones). 2018 trend has evolved to healthy space living, which sees the continued use of botanics and florals, continuing the indoor/outdoor play on living and recreation of wellness tranquillity.

The other trend that will continue to evolve and stand the test of time is linen textures and designs.

Maybe it's time for this trend from 2017 to move on from: Extremely heavy, dimensional weaves. We are seeing more and more of our textured weaves being refined, with captivating yarn usage, subtle tactile surfaces that use colour play to create depth & dimension. This will be the next evolution of textured fabrics.

We will also see less metallics used to off-set the strength of woven details and dimensional surfaces.

I think that sums up the summer of 2017/2018 pretty well!

G

ardening on the Sunshine Coast can be pretty unforgiving over summer – the heat and humidity knock many plants around and I know many of us give up on our vegetable gardens altogether by the time Christmas arrives.

The arrival of Autumn however, gives us something of a second chance and the first thing I do is replace those herbs which haven’t made it so I’ve got a good supply for winter cooking. ‘Mediterranean’ herbs including thyme, oregano, sage and rosemary like similar growing conditions – plenty of sun, well drained soil, not too much water and a touch of lime. They will grow well together in a pot near the kitchen for easy access. Soft leaved herbs like basil, parsley and chives prefer a bit more water and can be put in an adjacent pot…..two pots and your herb needs are all sorted out! Or, if you want to really complete collection, add a bay tree and some mint, both of which do best given their own space.

While many of the tropical flowers are coming to an end for the season, it’s a great time to look towards some of the more old fashioned varieties like camellias and azaleas for some winter colour.

Preferring a slightly sheltered position, they also make gorgeous pot specimens on your patio or verandah, bringing some cool season colour into your home.

Orchids are available year round now, as are many bromeliads and are a great addition to any coffee table or mantle going into the new season.

Alternatively, plants with variegated foliage provide the perfect combination of interest and longevity.

Whatever you choose, it’s a great time of year to get your hands dirty and freshen things up for the new season…happy gardening!

T

hose super-clever, surefooted canines had the crowds on Main Beach mesmerised and screaming with delight, during the highlight event of the Laguna Noosa Festival of Surf 2018.

These sure-footed dogs and their equally skilled owners performed their aquatic manoeuvres on the waves, as fans both young and old, (including other dogs) watched on in delight.

There were many wash-outs, but also many reached the shore to once again take to the water, with a wag of the tail - or shake of a human head - to once again take flight on the next available wave.

Our dog-loving Editor, Kaylene Murray was thigh-high in the water directing the shoot, as these hairy, lovers of the surf - all decked out in their safety vests skimmed through the water.

If all the contestants showcased in our feature would like to contact us - we have a bottle of wine for each of them.

The lure of prestige playgrounds...

Sydneysiders, Melburnians and ex pats revelling in the good life, are driving the high-end market and Tom Offermann couldn’t be happier.

I

t may be known as a world class surfing destination with six expansive beaches, many fancy restaurants and a bevy of boutiques, but the national headlines in the press lately are all about Noosa’s prestige market conditions being the strongest they’ve ever been. Walk along the sand from Noosa National Park-end of Sunshine Beach to Webb Road nearer the surf club, admiring the multi-million dollar beachfront homes and others separated by a short sandy track, is a popular pastime, especially during the summer season when owners from all over the world and around Australia, take up residence and bring their friends.

Tom Offermann Real Estate principal Tom Offermann

But what’s the attraction of this hot spot and who’s spending up big on prime property?

There’s no doubting the raw natural beauty of Sunshine Beach. It’s irresistible. A beach house in the front row with nothing but the sea in front is the ultimate prize. Those in the know appreciate the privileged location and some have found it so enticing they’ve bought sight unseen from overseas.

Securing those Noosa locations doesn’t come cheap and multiple buyers vying for the same property are common.“The trend in the past year has seen an increase in buyers from Sydney and Melbourne,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate principal Tom Offermann,“also many Australians who have been working overseas and are repatriating either themselves and/or their money with captains of industry in the technology and finance industries being the main drivers.”

January heralded the record sale of former tennis champion Pat Rafter and his wife Lara’s John Burgess-designed mansion, on a double beachfront block on Seaview Terrace, for close to its list price of $18 million.“Although the Rafter house had been listed quite a while, it came to a head with three separate parties negotiating at the same time,” explained Tom.“One was in Europe, one in Asia and the third in Australia.

Negotiations continued into the early hours and being the great sports they are, Pat and Lara had no complaints about losing sleep to conclude the deal.”

88

NoosaStyleLiving

Several weeks later, records were eclipsed again by the unconditional sale of an absolute beachfront private estate at 21-23 Webb Road, Sunshine Beach. It was listed for $22m.

The grand seven bedroom residence with interiors by multi-award winning international designer David Hicks, and an exterior reminiscent of a lavish resort, sits on a 3,595m2 site with nothing but Sunshine Beach and the Coral Sea in front. It has smashed all records for Sunshine Coast property, and arguably Queensland.

“I’ve sold this property three times,” recalls Tom.“In 1987 it was owned by a Londoner, an industrial chemist, who used the modest timber house for his annual holidays. He wanted $1m, later confessing he thought he’d set me an impossible challenge, especially as it was my first year in business. But he was surprised to say the least when I returned with a contract.

He signed it and poured a celebratory beer glass full of Scotch whisky. I’m not sure if it was the elation of the epic sale or the Scotch, but I remember feeling like I was walking on air as I left his house, contract in hand.

The sale made news as the first Sunshine Coast property to hit the magic million mark and is still making headlines today, 31 years later. That’s understandable given Webb Road is very sought-after with four-only beachfront properties. Tom Offermann Real Estate sold the property two doors away a year ago for $9.3m setting a new Noosa record at the time and it’s also the third sale in as many months, the agency has conclused a property over $10 million, after selling a 6-bedroom luxury home in nearby Noosaville.

Naturally everyone is curious to know more. After-all these property sales are not every day transactions however a buyer’s confidentiality is paramount. Many have very public profiles as do sporting legends Mark Webber, Thomas Muster, Evonne Cawley, and Dawn Fraser who have had Noosa boltholes for years, and let’s not forget Richard Branson who owns Makepeace Island Resort on the Noosa River.

A beach house in the front row with nothing but the sea in front is the ultimate prize...

Galleries & ART WHAT’S HOT ON THE ART SCENE

Solo Exhibition at GOMA The most ambitious exhibition to date of work by Patricia Piccinini has exclusively opened at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), becoming GOMA’s largest ever solo exhibition by an Australian artist.

JIVE ART Hastings Street....

Artist Michael Whitehead is living proof that success does come to those who give everything to their passion in life.

S

ince his passion for painting became a full-time career almost 20 years ago, Michael’s dynamic, layered abstracts have earned him a growing national and international reputation with galleries, collectors and art lovers. With scores of successful exhibitions already to his credit, this year Michael confined his painting largely to commissioned pieces and produced a record number of paintings for private and corporate clients all over Australia and New Zealand as well as Hong Kong, Germany, the US and the UK. Now back home after a long sojourn in his native England to his hinterland home and studio, Michael has been preparing a new body of work for show at Jive Art.Michael has returned itching to put this inspiration to good use and noted that while that the spark for a painting can come from many sources, it can be difficult to extend this into a coherent body of work without serious preparation and thought. He says, his travels, the Noosa National Park, the beaches, the river or long ride on his Harley through Queensland’s stunning country towns all feed into his work, but once he lays a blank canvas down, it is his mind and music that lets his brush truly soar.

he Patricia Piccinini: Curious Affection’ exhibition features more than 50 new and Ms Piccinini is one of the world’s most popular contemporary artists, and it is incredibly exciting that GOMA has been able to work with her to produce this exclusiveto-Queensland exhibition featuring major new works.

"Working with a skilled team of collaborators and computer technology, Patricia’s art collapses the boundaries between reality and artifice - to create captivating environments populated by strangely compelling, often hybridised, startlingly realistic sculptures, that are foreign and strange looking, yet seemingly familiar."

"The artworks in the GOMA exhibition will deliberately challenge our conceptions about what it means to be human and the power of empathy." he said The exhibition run from 24th March to 5th August 2018, and will feature some of Piccinini’s most recognisable life-like sculptures, among them The Bond 2016, a woman lovingly cradling an ambiguous creature, along with Big Mother 2005, The Comforter 2010.

NS How being jilted in Paris began a life long love affair with Burma....

Sir Gerald Festus Kelly PRA (British 1879 - 1972 ) was born in London and was educated at Eton and Trinity hall, Cambridge. He studied mainly in Paris, and claimed Whistler as an early influence. In his early years, mainly due to his grandfather being the founder of Kelly’s directories, he was able to travel widely.

W

hen he was thirty, and in Paris in 1909, he was jilted by a Parisienne beauty he was in love with . Inconsolable he cried on the shoulder of his lifelong best friend the playwright and raconteur Somerset Maugham. His friend came up with an answer. ‘’Burma'' said Maugham, a country stacked full of beautiful women. In 1907 a Burmese dance troop of around seventy dancers thrilled Paris, Somerset Maugham attended more than once, and along with the rest of Paris proclaimed them exquisite.

Maugham wasn’t the only attendee. The, by then, World famous sculptor Auguste Rodin, was enraptured by Burmese dancing and dancers . Rodin produced around 170 sketches of dancers in different poses, one of which featured in a recent B.B.C Fake and Fortune program, ( available on u tube ). It appears what was good enough for Rodin was good enough for Kelly.

We will probably never know whether Kelly ever had any dalliances with any of the dancers, but during his many visits to Burma during his lifetime, he painted hundreds of oils of them. The more important the dancer, especially if beautiful, the higher the prices go.

Sir Gerald Festus Kelly PRA - Oil - ‘Burmese Dancer’ portrait painter, 18 of which he completed of his old friend Maugham, other sitters included Ralph Vaughan Williams and T.S Elliot. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1930, and served as it’s president from 1949 -54 . Through the reigns of two kings and queen Elizabeth the second, he remained a Royal favourite portraitist.

Following his death at Exmouth, Devon in 1972 a studio sale took place in London, a sale which caused a drop in value of his portraits, mainly due to well over a hundred full length Burmese dancer oils flooding the market. Happily almost half a century on, his portraits and dancers, if first quality, or of a desired sitter or beautiful dancer, can command prices into six figures in pounds, on gallery walls.

In 1920 he married English woman Lillian Ryan, who became the model for one of his most important series of portraits all given the title of Jane. He was mainly a

There are only three performances for this event and it will be a crowd pleaser...

FUNNY GIRL This ‘exhilarating’ musical celebrates the exuberant and elegant flavour of Broadway in the 1910s and 20s, and tells the real life story of beloved singer, actress and comedienne Fanny Brice, whose vocal talents and comedic ability see her (despite the discouragement of her friends and neighbours, who tell her that she isn’t pretty enough for the stage), rise from Brooklyn music hall singer to Broadway star.

As she awaits her husband’s release from prison (entrepreneur and gambler Nick Arnstein), Fanny reflects on her incredible true story in a series of flashbacks.

A triumphant story of starry success, coupled with a bittersweet story of love.

Funny Girl is a musical theatre classic with a sensational score filled with show stoppers including; I’m the Greatest Star, People and Don’t Rain on my Parade.

Funny Girl opened on Broadway in 1964 starring Barbra Streisand in the role of Fanny Brice, and ran for a total of 1,348 performances.

ONE ACT PLAY FESTIVAL Since 1978, Noosa Arts Theatre has been running the National One-Act Playwriting Competition.

With an $8,000 cash prize pool, it attracts entries from playwrights throughout Australia, and many other countries. Scripts are judged anonymously by a professional panel of three industry experts. The three finalists are selected on the quality of the writing, not on subject matter; and the winning order is decided before the plays are presented in this Festival.

We care for some of Noosa’s most admired cars!

The recipe to taking care of your car near the beach...

Noosa chef Jayde Serré knows how important a good recipe is.

As Sous Chef Jayde had the pleasure of cooking for the Queen when she stayed at Novotel Twin Waters Resort in 2002. Returning to Noosa, Jayde ran “Dish on Thomas’ restaurant in Noosaville until sold, and today still keeps his hand in preparing beautiful salads for Rick’s Artisan Pies and Sourdough.

B

ut his passion has now turned to ‘BUFF-IT Car Detailing’ a business he set up after being promoted by friends to care for some of Noosa’s most admired cars... Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, and Porsche to name a few.

Says Jayde “I’m a perfectionist, it’s just something you become when you are cooking or caring for the much loved cars owned by people who want to protect their investment...” Whether its a $5,000 car or a $800,000 Ferrari it gets the same professional attention to detail and care.”

The harsh conditions of beautiful coastal living can be brutal on paint and interiors, a regular wash and a quality wax and polish needs to be applied more often than when living farther away from the salty breezes.

Needless to say sun is the other major factor in vehicle deterioration. Interiors and rubber and paint hate it as much as we hate being sunburnt.

There are also many commercial products available at your local motor store for the DIY’s but be cautious. “Care and attention to expensive car interiors of leather and other materials should be left to the professionals” said Jayde.

Likewise with polishing modern cars, the days of a cut’n’polish on modern painting techniques is best left to professionals...

Luckily Jayde knows the recipe to keeping your vehicle looking fresh!

On the river

NOOSAVILLE - SHOP - EAT - CRUISE

F

rom sunrise to sunset along the park that runs adjacent to the Noosa River (known as the 'golden mile') you'll see a passing parade of people walking their dogs, others taking the time to amble along watching the boats as they motor or sail past; devotees of tai chi and yoga carefully going through their movements; and others enjoying a quiet cup of coffee with friends; while mothers and holiday makers take their little ones for a walk or ride under the bowers of towering trees.

Along the foreshore, helpful information centre staff will book tours for you to visit Fraser Island (the world's largest sand island, and home to Australia's purest dingos), as well as trips to the mystical Everglades, or themed cruises.

With playgrounds and exercise equipment, as well as electric barbecues, and

covered table and bench seating positioned around the area, it is the perfect place for a family get together.

The carefree nature of the area is mirrored by the gentle wings of the pelicans as they soar high above before coasting in to the shoreline in search of the prime position for sleeping or checking out the chance of catching a fish down below; as those wishing to spend some time on the water hire kayaks, paddle boards, small boats and pontoons from the local boat shed operators. If not so inclined, you can still enjoy the river by hopping aboard the ferry for a leisurely cruise.

All this and only 10 minutes drive from Hastings Street.

What are you waiting for?

The Last Word KEITH JACKSON

AFTER a long career in journalism and PR, I retired to Noosa with Ingrid in 2013. And when Ingrid began a four-year term as an elected Noosa Councillor in 2016, I decided on a vow of silence so she could have a clear run without me being a jackass. Now, with her term at the halfway mark, I’m taking off the gag.

P

EOPLE tell me Ingrid is ‘doing good’ as a councillor. Ingrid calls it “being community facing” – solutionoriented accessibility to residents.

She searches for win-wins and supports the battlers. As a novice to politics, by her own admission she’s had to toughen up and, along with Sandy Bolton, whose recent successful campaign for the Noosa State seat I worked on - I know this part of the world has two formidable women politicians.

COOROIBAH-based Ian ‘Shoey’ Schuback, Sandy’s partner, is a four times world bowls champion, ABC commentator and author of ‘Bowls Biased + Uncensored’ – which presents bowls as a philosophy not just a sport. Right at the end of the book there’s a chapter so short you’d almost miss it. It tells of Shoey’s joust with cancer and bears faithful witness to the positive attitudes that pervade his book: coolness under pressure, good humour, a sense of proportion, a love of life and recognition that to play your role and play it with honesty is one of the most important things you can ever do.

DEMOCRACY at work. We’d been coming to Noosa regularly for over 20 years before we decided to move here from Sydney. We parachuted into Paradise and count this as one of the best decisions we ever made. But visitors don’t often see beneath the Shire’s tranquil beauty. Revelations awaited. A few people here – locals call them ‘the Gang of Four’ - play their politics tough and murky. “We say who’s allowed on to the park,” one of these czars once advised me, “we’re the gatekeepers.” Their attitude is ‘just enjoy it, we’ll run the place’. It’s a discordant and divisive outlook.

“Their attitude is ‘just enjoy it, we’ll run the place” Australia’s leading playwright David Williamson lives here and, social conflict being his metier, it’s probably time he put Noosa on stage.

BUT for the most part, Noosa is idyllic and the locals are great.

An illiterate woman from a village in Papua New Guinea visited the shire recently and told me what she thought. Julie Kumbon dictated a letter and sent it to me via her husband, Daniel, a journalist. “As soon as I landed at Brisbane Airport, I saw that Australia was beautiful,” wrote Julie. “I also saw that people were humble and kind. The coach driver spoke to us with kind words.”

JULIE continued: “A lady in Noosa offered to take my photo in front of Noosa Blue Resort

where we stayed. She told me her dad had fought in New Guinea in the war and that she was happy to meet me. I saw clean streets, beautiful parks and a lady walking her dog and picking up its excrement in a plastic bag.

Australians know how to enjoy life. They created heaven on earth and I think many of them will go to heaven. They are so kind, happy and willing to help each other.” That heaven bit sounds good.

MEDICAL technology has improved and spinal surgery isn’t as wicked as it once was (I’ve had four goes) but recuperation remains lengthy.

Completing a decent walk is my current goal. I prefer your classic town ramble because I’m able to mooch past interesting goings on and snatches of conversation. Glimpses of other people’s lives waft around as I pass by.

The memorable ones stick.

Along the Noosa river foreshore, octogenarian woman to husband as they observe their dog hurtle through space to catch a bouncing tennis ball: “It’s such a trivial thing to be good at”.

Young woman to female friend at Noosa Junction, awaiting the bus to Tewantin: “No, he wasn’t the man who knew too much; he was the man who didn’t know quite enough”.

In a queue at Civic Woolworths, exasperated mum to obstreperous three-year old: “Stop that or I’ll tell Barnaby Joyce”.

Passing a table outside Aromas in Hastings Street, older man to young man: “Look on the good side, your father dying made a man of you”. (Young man’s face a portrait of misery.)

They abstract quite beautifully from their context; mostly gentle glimpses of life. We’re all passers-by.
